Angie Mindus Cariboo Advisor Moose populations in the Cariboo Chilcotin have experienced one of the more serious declines in the province over the last decade, according to the latest population surveys.

Ranging from a 17 per cent decline in the Rose Lake-Miocene area to a 60 per cent decline in the Anahim Lake/Dean River area, the downward trend will likely lead to a decrease in the allowable annual harvest of moose, meaning a reduction of LEH authorizations for resident hunters and quota restrictions for guide outfitters.

Rodger Stewart, Director of Resource Management for the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations in the Cariboo Region, describes the population trend as both “significant and challenging.”

He says the government will be investigating all possible causes for the decline including hunting, increased road and ATV access, predation impacts and changing environmental conditions - including habitat changes resulting from mountain pine beetle infestation and the extensive timber salvaging of beetle-killed timber over the past decade.

“Across the central Interior plateau we’ve seen extensive forest harvesting over the last five to ten years,” Stewart said, noting the baseline for harvesting was more than doubled to salvage beetle killed wood and the area has seen large clear cuts as a result. “The timber harvesting has tried to salvage value from the damaged stands, a fact of See MOOSE POPULATION on Page 10

Provincial moose populations trending downward Angie Mindus Cariboo Advisor The Cariboo Chilcotin region is not alone in its challenge of managing declining moose populations.

According to a government summary on the matter, other regions in central and northern B.C. are also suffering similar downward trends in moose populations.

The Omineca region has seen moose densities in the central portion of the region around Prince George decline by 50 per cent since

2005, supporting anecdotal observations from the hunting community in recent years.

The Omineca region has the advantage however of having higher moose densities to begin with, so although the trend is declining, current moose densities in the Omineca remain consistent with healthy populations in other parts of North America.

The Cariboo region traditionally has lower moose densities so a downward trend in our population is more of a

concern.

The government has planned a response to the Omineca trends which includes developing new hunting strategies, developing management strategies with First Nations and a monetary investment to fund additional surveys and study designs.

In the Peace region surveys south of Fort St. John indicate a small decline in moose density since 2004.

The population trend, however, is said to be stable so there will

be no specific changes to the harvest management regime at this time.

The Skeena region/ Bulkley Valley Lakes District has seen a 20 per cent decline in moose since 2004, including a decline in the bull to cow ratio in the Lakes District.

The population is considered to be comparatively healthy, with good calf recruitment and bull to cow ratios, and the current annual allowable harvest is considered sustainable.

In 2010, the Skeena Angie Mindus Photo

Prince George’s central region has seen a decline in the moose populations of 50 per cent since 2005.

Allocation Committee (representing guided and resident hunters) opted to use a moose population estimate of 12,000 moose for the area. This was in response to the consensus observation that the severe winter of 2006/2007 had caused a substantial decline in the moose population.

Because a potential population decline was taken into account in 2010, there are no proposed changes to the AAH for the 2012/2013 licence year and the upcoming allocation period (2012 2016) due to the results of this survey.

Also in the Skeena region, but within the Nass Wildlife Area (Nisga’a Final Agreement), surveys indicate a 70 per cent reduction in the moose population from 1997 to 2011 over the 5,000 km2 area.

For 2012/13, the very limited licensed moose hunt has been closed as anticipated population recovery has not been achieved.

The province is collaborating with the Gitanyow First Nation and Nisga’a Lisims Government to implement a “managed” First Nations hunt designed to recover the moose population in the Nass Wildlife Area.

Management actions have included reductions in the Total Allowable Harvest, reductions in the annual Nisga’a Allocation as per the treaty, restriction of the Nisga’a hunting season.

The Nisga’a have adopted a bull-only harvest which supports moose

conservation efforts.

In 2007 significant restrictions to the licensed hunt through both guide outfitter quota and LEH authorizations were imposed to promote moose recovery.

In the Thompson Okanagan Region the overall moose population is comparatively low, however initial survey results west of Kelowna were favourable, with recruitment doubling the population compared to previous surveys.

Bull to cow ratios are fairly low, possibly an indication of elevated bull harvesting success given high resource road densities.

Calf to cow ratios are meeting objectives, but anecdotal evidence suggests there may be increased risk of wolf predation.

There are no current survey results for the Thompson, as weather prevented standard surveys from being carried out last winter.

Anecdotal evidence and harvest information suggest that moose densities are likely in decline in area of the North Thompson, the Bonaparte, and on the Nehalliston Plateau.

The Kootenay region was the province’s only good news survey, with initial survey findings indicating a stable to increasing moose population in the West Kootenay.

Surveys conducted over the past three winters show bull to cow ratios are above regional objectives throughout the region.

Arrest made in public assaults The Williams Lake RCMP have arrested a 14-year-old male suspect in relation to several complaints of inappropriate touching and sexual assault that occurred within the City of Williams Lake during April of 2012.

RCMP received a number of reports from female victims who were confronted and attacked while out in public places. Since the initial report of the first incident, on April 9th, 2012, the Williams Lake RCMP have been investigating these crimes, immediately dedicating numerous investigators to bring

these crimes to a successful conclusion. It is through these measures and with the assistance of our local media that public awareness was heighten and no further women were victimized.

While there were no further reports of any similar assaults past the 11th of April, the Williams Lake Detachment Serious Crime Unit continued to aggressively investigate the crimes.

It was through these continued efforts and vigilance of the entire Williams Lake RCMP Detachment and the community that a pri-

mary suspect was identified.

“This investigation struck to the core of public safety and was made a priority for the investigational team.”

Stated Staff Sergeant Ken Brissard of the Williams Lake RCMP. The suspect has

been released from custody, to his guardian, on strict conditions and is being closely monitored by police and his bail supervisor. As the person is a youth, police cannot release his name or any other details regarding the identity of the accused.

Courtney Taylor Cariboo Advisor Some people like to leave their work well at work, but some thrive on interaction with their clients and patients outside of office hours – Fawn Povelofskie is one of those people.

Povelofskie recently opened Hear Clear – Fawn’s Hearing Solutions in downtown Williams Lake at #77B2nd Avenue and says it’s a dream come true, but she didn’t always know that hearing care was her calling.

“I knew I wanted to help people, and when I lived in Penticton a career counsel pointed me in the direction of pharmacy,” she said.

Turns out that pharmacy just wasn’t for her, and in time she found herself a job as an assistant in a hearing clinic here in town.

“It just fit – I loved working with the clients and seeing their reaction when they could hear again,” said Povelofskie. “When they get excited – I get excited.”

When the timing was right, she made the step from working at a hearing clinic to open-

ing her very own.

“I had had patients tell me I should, friends and family as well – I did a lot of research before I decided it was worth the risk.”

Povelofskie is a registered hearing instrument practitioner, and was recently trained as an industrial audiometric technician as well, which means she can perform hearing tests for those who work in a loud environment such as mills, mines and different mechanical shops.

“I really want to focus on exceptional health and patient care by building relationships with my clients and explaining everything to them so they understand what’s going on,” she said.

“I really feel like my patients are my extended family. Clients come up to me in the grocery store to talk about their hearing – I love it and thrive on it.”

Other services she offers include hearing aid sales, as well as all sorts of different accessories to go along with them such as a T.V. link and hands free devices for their cell phones.

Emergency responders in demand Courtney Taylor Cariboo Advisor Members of the Central Cariboo Search and Rescue Auto Extraction team were on hand Saturday afternoon at the Canadian Tire parking lot to help get their name out in the community and talk to anyone interested in becoming a volunteer.

“A lot of time there are just a couple of us who show up on calls,” said Brielle Penner, a CCSAR member. “We are actively looking for more members - the more we have the better off we are.”

Penner and the other members of the auto ex team were at Canadian Tire with their equipment out and their truck on display.

“We’re just getting ourselves out in the public to answer any questions there may be,” said Penner.

CCSAR provides their volunteers with all the training they need to be certified for Land Search and Rescue as well as Auto Ex if they wish and there are lots of weekend training sessions in other specific areas.

Rick White is the CCSAR’s deputy chief and he says there is no real age limit for volunteers and that there are always jobs in the command centre, back at the hall and in administration.

“There are no limitations – you can be retired and still volunteer,” said White. “If you don’t feel comfortable you can always say no and that applies to all volunteers in all cases.”

If you are interested in volunteering with the CCSAR the process is to simply call and make an appointment with a senior member for an interview.

“We go over what they have to offer us, and what we have to offer them,” said White.

“We want them to know what they are getting so there are no surprises.”

After the interview, there is an application form to fill out and a criminal record check must be done.

“If the interview and criminal record check are good then they are called to come in and start training.”

Let the camping season begin For many, the May long weekend signifies the start of camping season – whether the weather agrees or not.

Some will flock to the nearby lakes for the day or weekend and for many it means baseball tournaments and BBQ’s.

If we are all lucky the weather will be warm and give us a taste of summer weather like the past weekend, but more likely the days will be mild and the nights chilly.

I am a camper, but even I am not tough enough to camp May long weekend – memories of freezing in my sleeping bag come to

mind as the reasons why.

But cold weather or not there will be plenty who will stick to traditions, pack up their camping gear and hit a nearby lake. They will huddle by the fire to keep warm, and sleep in layers to make it through the night.

For my family, we had an R.V. spot and a dock for years and May long weekend meant a get together with neighbors and the dock going into the water and maybe a boat ride. And for some of the bravest souls – it meant time to test out the water.

I have fond memo-

ries of May long weekends, either out camping or having a BBQ in the backyard. Whatever my family was up to the weekend meant the start of summer. Rain or shine – it only was going to get better.

With camping season also comes another season – fire season.

With an increase of campers out at the lakes, and more fires being started the chance of a campfire being left unattended increase significantly.

Last year the weather stayed mild and fire risk was low and for the first time in a couple years there were no campfire bans. That

makes for happy campers – literally.

So with the warm spring weather we have had so far, let’s make sure we have another campfire ban–less summer. Put out your campfires this weekend and every day.

Make sure the fire doesn’t get out of hand or left unattended.

Campfires are currently restricted to one half metre by one half metre – so let’s all do our part to keep wildfire risk low this summer.

Have fun camping – remember your sunscreen, bug spray and of course put out that campfire before heading back to town.

Williams Lake embraces reducing, reusing and recycling Reduce, recycle, reuse – all were highlighted this past weekend in the community – which is fantastic.

Brian Stefan from Canadian Tire rounded up different recycling stewards from the community on Saturday for the big Recycle day. Everything from books, tires, elec-

tronics and paint were collected from the community – which is great but more importantly it let’s people know where to go on a regular basis to recycle, recycle, recycle – which in turn helps reduce.

Stefan said it was a great day - and all the volunteers were fantastic.

Another project – Bike for All- sets out to reuse old bikes, fix the up and give them to children who need one. That’s thanks to the Cariboo Chilcotin Conservation Society and Red Shred’s, who were on hand at the Tim Horton’s Bike Rodeo on Sunday.

Williams Lake may

be know for many things, but I think being green and implementing the three R’s – reduce, reuse and recycle is a great identity.

In time we can continue on the going green path and help our town be the best we can be.

An earring in the pocket for one rogue hugger Some time ago, my path found me on a medical trip in a culture other than my own.

Most of the group members did a little reading ahead of time to help them know how best to be appropriate. But one member of the group didn’t.

This older gentleman, though he was pleasant enough, didn’t fuss much over the cultural differences and customs of the host country. Instead of showing the customary reserve in the villages, this man went in

Living out Loud with Rita Corbett with abandon - holding babies, playfully teasing children, teaching teenage boys to whistle, and hugging men and women alike. He just moved forward wholeheartedly, letting peo-

ple know how much he genuinely cared about them. But as you know, various To someone concerned with the niceties of life, it was a nightmare, or so I thought.

One evening, upon returning to his room, this exuberant enthusiast discovered that in his indiscriminate hugging he had inadvertently snagged a golden earring, and it had fallen in his pocket.

So much for cultural sensitivity! But in spite of crossing some mild boundaries, everyone seemed to be having a

great time, so no one bothered to shut the hugger down. In an area rife with suicide, poisonings and spousal abuse, it seemed everyone wanted love and touch. So he continued.

Should his exuberance be stopped?

Should someone explain things to him again? Perhaps one of the group leaders could take him to task? This was serious! But no one wanted to tackle the issue, so nothing changed. This kissing, hugging, whistling fellow went from village

to village, leaving in his wake vast smiles and piles of thrown flowers.

He was honoured as a king might be - and the villagers loved him!

Before the small group left the country, telltale reports began to come in regarding this man’s visits with the local populace. Sure, he was hilarious and likely to shower the givers right back with their own flowers. He was unusual and highly noticeable, of course.

Good or bad - he was unforgettable!

But what would the final effect be of this loving

with abandon, and living outside the boundaries?

The most telling story came quietly several days later from a small woman who had received a bear hug. She said, “Most of our lives we have been treated as slaves and animals, and now someone comes to our village that doesn’t even know us. And he hugs us. And now we have the courage to live."

The earring never found its original owner. But the hug had. And for her the world will never be the

same.

Sometimes we are unsure if we should touch or hug or love.

We try so hard to be correct in our behaviour. Sometimes we make mistakes even while trying to be sensitive. I can’t give a blanket recommendation to one man’s wildly boisterous approach, but if I make an error in life, if I make a gross mistake in judgment, I hope it is this one - to live so there will always be the possibility of finding an earring in my pocket.

Please, don’t shoot the messenger!

MLA Bob Simpson When I was home recently I found there was a lot of confusion about the timber supply and job loss numbers I had commented on in the press. Some people were more angry than confused, some were angry at me.

Let me try to clear up some of the confusion and address people's anger.

First, the numbers are not mine. The timber supply documents released to the public come from internal government assessments of the state of our pine beetle ravaged forests. The documents clearly indicate that all the companies operating in our area played a major role in this analysis and that it was the companies that were raising the alarm about log shortages in the near future.

These documents are available on both my website and the government's.

Second, the government and industry's assessment has been confirmed by independent analysis done for the International Wood Markets consulting firm; a firm that

advises investors about the state of our forest industry. In fact, Wood Markets' first assessment of the immediacy of the reduction in cut levels in our region was made public in 2010, so the looming log shortage issue is not "news" to the investment community.

Third, the major confusion surrounding the timber supply numbers stems from the difference between the "available timber," which determines the annual allowable cut, and the "commercially viable timber," which, in today's market conditions, actually determines how far the mills can go to get the available timber and how economic it is to run the beetle killed wood.

Both the government report and the independent analysis show that while we have "available" timber to keep our mills running out to 2020, industry clearly informed government that the weakening of the Chinese market, the failure of the US market to return to strong demand, and the increasing costs of obtaining and processing the beetle wood

means we may face log shortages much sooner than predicted.

Let me emphasize this: despite what some companies are now telling their employees and contractors, the government documents make it clear that it is industry that is telling them we may face log shortages and mill closures sooner than expected because of poor market conditions.

Fourth, the job loss numbers in the government documents are confusing and unnecessarily alarming. The government uses peak production numbers to project possible job losses in our area, but, as the independent analysis shows, a lot of

this production capacity has already been shut down due to market conditions, especially in the Williams Lake area. Still, everyone agrees that Quesnel will be the hardest hit and needs the most support to design a transition strategy.

I urge everyone to actually read the government's summary document and International Wood Markets' overview of their report so we can all be informed about the nature of the challenges we're facing.

We cannot begin to address these challenges if we choose to remain ignorant of the facts or susceptible to someone giving us false and misleading information.

My only goal in all of this is to ensure we can have an informed dialogue about our options and that we can plan our communities' transitions together. There are plenty of opportunities for us to recreate our forestry industry, grow our mining, tourism and agriculture sectors, and develop our community infrastructure to retain and attract people, but this work must be energized and framed in the reality of the immediate challenges we face.

If you're still confused or angry about this situation I urge you contact my office so I can address your concerns more directly.

Moose populations declining Continued from Page 1 life in the central interior. However, we cannot draw a purposeful link between the increase in logging and the decline of moose.

We will not speculate about causes of the decline until we have some concrete information ... the major driver for the decline is still unknown.”

Stewart pointed out that in addition to accelerated harvesting, the Chilcotin has experienced many large forest fires since 2003 adding to the habitat disturbance.

Survey information, gathered from three moose inventory surveys conducted over the past two winters, shows that bull to cow ratios are stable and within regional objectives, suggesting that the licensed harvest of bull moose has not been responsible for the declines in population. Also, calf to cow ratios are generally consistent with objectives, although below regional targets in selected areas such as Big Creek-Taseko.

Additionally, Stewart said there has been no indication the moose have suffered from any disease.

A ministry biologist based in Prince George is undertaking an assessment of the factors that may be responsible for the moose population decline. The assessment will identify common factors that may be working on the moose population. The

Cariboo Region is seeking the services of a leading academic expert in moose management to assist in assessing the comparative impact of different factors influencing the moose population of the region.

“We are facing a challenging management situation.”

Stewart said that

Shortcut shutdown City officials are permanently closing a popular short cut to traffic beside the complex at the end of this month due to several reported near misses involving fast moving vehicles and pedestrians.

The City announced the fire lane, located between the pool and Senior’s Centre and Kwanis Park, will close May 31 for good.

“It is estimated that well over 100 vehicles a day, that are not accessing the complex or its rental parking, use this route as a shortcut, often weaving around the speed bumps and concrete barriers as well as cutting through designated parking and pedestrian areas,” states

the City.

“Attempts to address the situation without closing the lane access by adding speed bumps, signage, metal bollards, cement barriers and other measures have been instituted over the past year but these have done little to curb the problem.”

Signage will be going up shortly at the 7th Ave entrance to the rear Complex parking lot and in the front CMRC parking lot to warn users of the pending closure date.

On the date of closure the large metal gate will be locked and the lane will only be accessible by emergency vehicles. The gate will be open during events at the Complex to allow access to the rear parking lot, but will be closed immediately following the events.

vehicles that use this shortcut, and the speed at which they drive through it, must be addressed. Many of these vehicles completely disregard safe speed limits, marked routes through the lots, and also ignore high volume pedestrian areas,” says Councillor Laurie Walters, Chair of the Community Services Committee which oversees the Complex.

“Safety of persons using the Complex and its amenities is of primary importance to us. We regret having to close this lane access but all other attempts to slow traffic have failed.”

“We recognize this will be a minor inconvenience to some Complex customers, but we feel the added safety benefit that will result from the change more than makes up for this.”

Students jump into Jump Rope for Heart ing up to the event students had the option to collect pledges, and top earners were rewarded with a special day of being principal for a day and vice principal for the day.

“The two girls who won this year are the same two girls from last year,” said Perry.

“Dallas Moe raised $1,295 to be principal again this year and Olivia Hammond raised $1,118 to be vice principal once again.”

Pe r r y said

Hammond was determined to win this year, but little Grade 1 student Dallas used online resources to raise just a little more once again.

“Over all we raised $10,154, which is the most we have ever raised,” said Perry.

As part of the afternoon of skipping, students were treated to orange slices to keep their energy up, and Perry would like to thank Safeway for kindly donating enough oranges to feed all the students.

Logan Elzinga, 6, learns to check for cars at Tim Horton's Bike Rodeo Sunday afternoon in the Canadian Tire parking lot. At this station Constable Glenn Ford and Bob Sunner helped children with hand signals and checking for cars.

Jorga Gilpin Gilpin, 7 7, stees her bike around the pylons as Bob McIntosh watches.

Tim Horton's Bike Rodeo promotes riding safety Tim Horton’s Bike Rodeo saw 70 children partake in a range of activities using their bikes last weekend, all of which were geared towards how to ride safe.

There was a station where two friendly guys from Red Shred’s Bike and Board took a look at bikes and fixed anything that wasn’t up to par, there was also a station focused on

helmets and making sure they fit properly.

Members of the Williams Lake RCMP were on hand to help young bikers learn how to use hand signals, check for cars and maintain control up and down hill.

Other stations were ran by volunteers from the community – one where bikers were taught how to navigate a intersection, learn

how to steer and stay in control, avoid sharp rocks and start and stop correctly.

“Bicycle safety is very important. It is the time of the year when our children are out on the street with their bicycles and if we can teach them safety through this rodeo then everyone wins,” said Dave Dickson, Safer Communities Coordinator.

Dreams realized with Total Ice Training Centre Courtney Taylor Cariboo Advisor His dream to play in the NHL may not have come true, but Tyrel Lucas is fulfilling another longtime ambition of his by helping other young hockey players pursue their own NHL dreams.

“All through my days of playing hockey I always loved the training aspect of it,” said Lucas, a hockey player since he was just six years old. “After I shattered my ankle, I thought more about combining on-ice training with off-ice training and the rest just fell into place.”

Lucas is the owner and operator of Total Ice Training Centre, the first and only private ice rink in Williams Lake which offers a wide range of activities for those with advance skills and those who want to learn more.

“We have boot camps, personal trainers, spin classes as well as offer public skates and a three-on-three league,” said Lucas. ‘We also offer men's and ladies drop-in hockey, as well as an intro to hockey program for children three years and up.

not about every player making it to the NHL – but we’re here to help the players who have those dreams and if you just want to work on

your skills – we can help with that too.”

Total Ice Training Centre is located at 4535 Cattle Drive and for a full list of pro-

grams check out their website totalice.ca – and make sure not to tuck away those skates just because it’s summer!

Locals strut their stuff

Total Ice Training Centre is a new dream come true for Tyrel Lucas, who now gets to help train young hockey players to be the best they can be in camps and programs such as his Pro-D Day Hockey camp he held last Friday. Pictured is Lucas working with some hockey players at the Pro-D Day camp.

Lucas said the amount of interest and the feedback he’s received so far has been overwhelming.

“We are a hockey town and I really feel Williams Lake was ready for a facility like this one,” he said.

Lucas was quick to say that all of this wouldn’t be possible with out the support of parents, family, friends and the community.

“It’s more than I could have ever pictured,” he said. “My

dream was to play in the NHL, but now this is my NHL –I have the opportunity to be out on the ice working with kids and helping them make it to the NHL.” On top of on and off ice training – Total Ice has another state of the art training piece of equipment – a skating treadmill.

“It’s a great way to work on the mechanics of skating,” said Lucas.

“There is nothing that simulates skating other than skating – and as

Now that rodeo season is well underway, local cowboys and cowgirls are busy showing what athletes from the Cariboo Chilcotin are made of.

This past weekend saw cowboys and cowgirls flock to Princeton for the Princeton Stan Thompson Memorial Rodeo May 12 and 13.

Greg Van Winkle of Williams Lake scored a 69 to come in third place in Bareback. In

a by product it conditions by strengthening leg muscles and helps with coordination.”

Lucas said while on the skating treadmill, players can also work on stick handling and shooting.

With all of these different tools and training exercises, Lucas is all set to help young Williams Lake hockey players become hockey stars – if that’s what they want.

“The biggest thing I’ve said all along is it’s

Saddle Bronc, Garrett Madley of Alexis Creek scored 79 points to take first place, just two points ahead of those who tied for second place.

In Steer Wrestling another local took top spot – Wade McNolty of 150 Mile had time of 5.7 to come in first place. McNolty also finished high in team roping with his partner Carey Price, coming in second with a 7.7.

In Junior Steer Riding, Devon Robbins from Alkali Lake took second place with a score of 69 points.

In Breakaway Roping, Keely Durrell from Riske Creek took top spot with a time of 3.2 seconds.

In Bull Riding, Cariboo locals were the only competitors – Brady Fuller from 150 mile rode Ghostrider for a score of 75 points.

Soccer is best when there is fun involved Sports can be great for a child. They can help develop a wide variety of skills that can be used for the rest of their lives. Playing soccer can teach social skills, making new friends, playing well with others, and listening to authority. Soccer teaches kids how to be active, how to stay healthy and gives them exercise that can be continued as they get older, keeping them healthy and in shape.

The most important part of soccer is to have fun. Soccer can only be fun if the sport is actually being enjoyed, or loved. It has been said in many different ways, but the only way a sport can actually be fun is if the child enjoys them itself. Having seen many television shows, movies and read my fair share of novels, parents forcing their children to play a sport or par-

ticipate in an activity is a hot topic. It is more common than most people would actually think. In the most cliché of stories involving parents forcing their children to participate in a sport, its because the mother or father of the child formerly played the sport themselves, but was injured in some way forcing them to give up their dreams. Having a child does not mean that you can live your dream through them.

I’m not a parent, but as a daughter and teenager I can admit that being told what to do all the time gets annoying eventually. My parents have never forced me to be a part of anything, so I wouldn’t be able to explain what it is like having my parents’ dreams thrown on my shoulders. Asking this weekend, why some of the youth in

our community like or love soccer, the answers varied.

For U8 female players, Dalraj Veer, Brooklyn Carriere and Taylor Fitzgerald, soccer is fun, full of exercise and you get to kick a soccer ball. For some of the older girls, such as U9/10 female players Tianna Brenner and Brooke Levens, you hear a similar story. They love soccer because they have fun, they have friends on all teams of their league, not just their own, and they get to kick a soccer ball. Soccer is best when there is fun involved.

When you add pressure you take out the fun and enjoyment that the kids have. Don’t force your kid to play soccer, make sure that it is something that they actually enjoy.

Soccer season is in full swing, with rep soccer, development

Peel Out ready to go for the May long weekend Courtney Taylor Cariboo Advisor The May long weekend is quickly approaching and with it comes the Williams Lake Cycling Club’s annual mountain bike extravaganza event Peel Out. Peel Out is two days full of mountain biking on local trails and this year it is on Saturday May 19 and Sunday May 20.

“It’s the third annual event – the event is just meant to be a way to entice people from other communities to come check out how wicked awesome the trails are here and how awesome the bike people are in Williams Lake,” said Mark Savard, an orga-

nizer for the event. “It’s just meant to be a fun and safe event for everyone from 18 months to 80 years old.”

Saturday will see bikers take on a downhill event on Fox Mountain and have fun at the Boitanio Bike Park Jam. Sunday the festivities will continue on Westside trail with the Super D race starting at Bell-E Acres and making its way to the river valley.

This event is affordable and fun for the whole family.

Savard said it averages out to about $10 per race and is a great way for up and coming riders to participate in

ONE FOR THE MONEY Stephanie Plum (Katherine Heigl) is a proud city girl with plenty of attitude. She’s also newly-divorced with no prospective employment.

The only way for her to turn things around is to accept a job at her sleazy cousin’s bail bonding company, just long enough to make some fast cash. Her first assignment? Former vice cop and murder suspect Joe Morelli (Jason O’Mara), the same Joe Morelli who broke her heart in high school. Stephanie thinks she’s hit the jackpot - not only will catching him be the sweet revenge she’s been waiting for but she’ll also get a hefty pay cheque out of it. As she learns the ropes of what it takes to be a recovery agent, she also realizes that her new job might not be as easy as she planned.

HOROSCOPE It’s easy for your mind to wander and get caught daydreaming, Aries. That’s because you are feeling a little restless and in need of a change. A vacation may just do it.

Taurus, though you’re intent on saving money, some situations arise that will require you to open your wallet. But you can handle these unforeseen expenses.

Gemini, sometimes you are misunderstood and that can leave you feeling frustrated. It’s best not to change a thing, though, because you want friends who appreciate you for you.

Exciting prospects are on the horizon, Cancer. This is something you have been looking forward to for quite some time, and you can only count the days until you get news.

Last Week’s Answers

Virgo, though it seems like you are caught between a rock and a hard place, there is a way out. It just may mean swallowing your pride -- something you may not find easy.

Phad Thai, the most recognizable Thai dish In a column recently I mentioned I had taken another Thai cooking course in Koh Chang and it was at the same resort where I took my first cooking course six years ago. The setting for the cooking course was right on the edge of a river which flowed into the Gulf of Thailand about 30 meters away, then of course all the palm trees, flowers and thirty degree weather helped make this venue for culinary learning just perfect. I also had a very nice surprise… the teacher from the first with the name of Ya was also at the resort that evening but working in a different capacity.

She seemed genuinely

pleased to see me and gave me a special gift before I left the resort after the course. What a nice gesture, it was certainly appreciated.

This recipe was first passed along to me by instructor Ya in my Koh Chang cooking course.

I have also passed it along to readers some time ago and will do again because I have been asked by a number

of people to put this in the Advisor once more.

Phad Thai Sauce 1/3 cup coconut sugar (difficult to get...use brown palm sugar or maple syrup as substitute ) 3 Tbsp fish sauce 3 Tbsp tamarind sauce 2 Tbsp chilli sauce Ingredients for 2 people 5 Tbsp vegetable oil 6 tsp chopped shallot 4 tbsp firm tofu 2 tsp dried shrimp (put small amount of water in pot with six shrimp with shells and boil until very done...mix into paste and use this for the dried shrimp)... they are difficult to get.

4 tsp shredded carrot fresh shrimp...enough

for two people... for me, six to eight tbsp for 2 people is enough...suit yourself 1 egg rice noodles...about one fistful for each person 8 to 10 tbsp Phad Thai Sauce chilli powder to taste 1/4 cup chives 1 cup bean sprouts Crushed cashews for topping.

Heat oil until hot, then add shopped shallot cook for a few minutes then add tofu, dried shrimp and carrot.

Add fresh shrimps and cook until done then set aside. Cook 2 beaten eggs on one side of your wok or frying pan and move ingredients on top when they are firm, then

Leo, you have to fight for what you believe in, even if that means being unpopular with some friends and family members. Stick with it and you’ll like the results.

turn over and mix. Add in the rice noodles then the Phad Thai sauce and mix everything well Add in chilli , bean sprouts, along with the some of the chives and mix. You can mix in the shrimp at this point or you can add the shrimp at the end, then top it with more chives and some cashews for decoration.

Phad Thai is the most recognizable Thai dish and can be eaten as a meal in itself or you can make a Thai soup to start, then Phad Thai for a complete meal.

Reach into your creative skills for a very nice Thai Dish.

Bye for now and Gooood Cooking.

Libra, accept help on an important project and things will go swimmingly. Just be sure to reciprocate that assistance down the line to show appreciation.

Scorpio, sometimes the things you believe to be a big deal really aren’t a big deal at all. Simply changing your perception about things can bring on real change.

The biggest lesson you can learn is how to deal with conflict in a productive way, Sagittarius. If you look at your track record, you just may find that the old way isn’t working.

Capricorn, you have a full plate but somehow you always manage to pull through -- even when you are all on your own with the work.

Start scheduling a day off.

Aquarius, you have to be in the mood to finish some projects around the house. Procrastination won’t help, but a plan of attack can help you get everything done.
