André Chevigny and his son Tévis accept a donation from Walmart manager John Donnelly and his staff for $2,600 to the Avril Chevigny Fund, which helps local families through crisis when their children are sick. Chevigny started the fund more than 17 years ago after his daughter Avril died of cancer, and hopes the community will support him in raising the public profile of the fund once again to help families in need.

Caring hearts HELPING: Kids with cancer

Avril Chevigny’s memory lives on in others

resource is available. As many in the community will recall, André Chevigny’s daughter Avril inspired a nation more than 17 years ago in her brave fight against cancer, after being diagnosed with lymphoma leukemia at the age of just six years old. In 1995, over 40 RCMP

officers as well as staff from André’s company Pioneer Log Homes shaved their heads in support of the little girl in front of a packed crowd all dressed in Avril’s favourite colour, purple, at the Cariboo Memorial Complex. Avril was present at this fundraiser. The entire community

grieved with the Chevigny family when Avril lost her fight with cancer in the spring of 1996. “It means a lot in my heart and my guts to give,” says Chevigny, who created the Avril Chevigny Fund shortly after Avril’s death. “When Avril passed away, that’s how I was

somehow able to stay sane, even today she continues to bless people, and she continues to make all of us better people.” And the Avril Chevigny Fund continues to help others. See AVRIL on Page 2

Families benefit from Avril Chevigny Fund Continued from Page 1

Angie Mindus photo

A photograph of Avril Chevigny hangs in the children's playroom at Cariboo Memorial Hospital, a room that was made possible through the Avril Chevigny Fund after Avril lost her battle with cancer in 1996. Avril's dad André is hoping to increase awareness about the fund in hopes of helping other local families with sick children.

With support from the community, in 1998 the fund built the Avril Chevigny Memorial Playroom outside of the emergency room at Cariboo Memorial Hospital. Avril’s fund has also bought all the popsicles for children visiting the hospital for many years. Since her death the Avril Chevigny Fund has helped dozens of local families with travel, hotel and other expenses which arise during a cancer crisis. “When there’s a crisis, it happens now. The beautiful thing about Avril’s Fund is the family can receive help instantly.” Though the Avril Chevigny Fund hasn’t been in the news for years, Chevigny continues to work behind the scenes to assist families confidentially. His two brothers David Chevigny and Bryan Reid have also helped secure funding for local families

in crisis, also the West Fraser Truckers Assoc. André discreetly meets with the family in person or on the phone and helps and discusses their needs. “It’s a real pride thing for a family” says Chevigny, who offers both financial and emotional support confidentially. “I’ve been there, I’ve walked in their shoes, and I have thought all their thoughts….... I can sit across from them and they understand that I get it.” After years of giving, Chevigny was on the receiving end last week when John Donnelly of Walmart presented a cheque to the Avril Chevigny Fund for $2,600 given by a matching donation from the 200 local Walmart employees and its corporate office. “Williams Lake is an amazing place to live,” says Donnelly, who said Walmart also gives to those in need without fanfare. “But there are a

time there is a need this community steps up. I want to thank all the people for their ongoing support over the years, it certainly doesn’t go unnoticed. And when we give from Arvil’s fund, it’s from the community of Williams Lake, it’s not from André.” Chevigny says he’s willing to do just about anything to help raise money for the fund, whether that’s flipping hot dogs for a special event, giving a talk or volunteering. “I’d love to come do it,” says Chevigny, who is very thankful Avril’s memory and spirit has been kept alive all these years. “My little girl continues to still be present in our community, helping other children and their families, and that makes me very proud of her.” Anyone interested in making a donation or has a suggestion for a fundraiser can contact André Chevigny at 250-392-0868.

lot of people going through hard times and we need to help them. It’s our moral obligation to help.” Chevigny, who was on hand with his youngest son Tévis to accept the cheque, was moved by the gesture. Thirteen year old Tévis said, “It is very good that my sister’s fund continues to help families in need.” André also mentioned Walmart made a previous donation to Avril’s Fund in 2010 for $3,200. “Walmart and their staff are going all out to do this.” Chevigny encourages the community to give once again through the Avril Chevigny Fund to help local families with sick children. “Let’s face it, everyone is affected by cancer, all of the funds given to the Avril Chevigny Fund stay in our area,” says Chevigny. “And we can help those families in need.

percent of respondents indicated an interest in negotiating another agreement to replace the one the City is refusing to honour. The City has requested that the CRD agree to attend a mediation session in an effort to resolve this matter. Mediation is simply the first step in the legal process aimed at resolving the situation and if the CRD refuses this request, the City has the ability to take steps to force mediation. The taxpayers were already put to significant unnecessary expense when the City forced the CRD to bring on an emergency injunction application last year to ensure that fire protection services were continued while this dispute was ongoing, rather than simply agreeing to continue the services in the interim. The CRD does

not condone this sort of approach and will not waste tax-payer’s money by forcing the City to take unnecessary steps to compel mediation. Rather, the CRD has agreed to attend the mediation and will focus its efforts, and the tax-payer’s money, on the primary issue of resolving this dispute. If a solution is attainable under mediation, all tax-payers will benefit from avoiding the costs associated with bringing the matter forward to trial. If the mediation process does not produce an acceptable resolution, the legal action will

continue and the case will proceed towards a trial. A public meeting has been scheduled for Tuesday, Feb. 12 at 5:30 p.m. in the Gibraltar Room to present and discuss the results of the Jan. 17 survey. During this meeting, CRD elected officials and staff will also advise the public of the proposed next steps based on today’s meeting. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

User groups at the Cariboo Memorial complex were in a state of anxiety earlier this week as it appeared that the ice rink and swimming pool would be shut down in the event of a strike, at a time critical for hockey, skating and swim clubs.

City and Union talk

A strike of the City’s workers has been averted, at least for now. According to a City press release, the City of Williams Lake and the International Union of Operating Engineers Local 882-B have agreed to resume negotiations on Tuesday, Feb. 12. The parties were in Vancouver Feb. 1 in front of the Labour Relations Board to set essential service levels after the union voted in favour of a strike last week. “The City is extreme-

The Cariboo Regional District says it now has a clear mandate to proceed with legal action against the City of Williams Lake. During a Special Board meeting this week, the CRD delegated authority to deal with the ongoing litigation with the City of Williams Lake to a Williams Lake Fringe Area Fire Protection Standing Committee consisting of all directors except the representative from Williams Lake. The Committee then convened to review the results of the recent public survey regarding preferred options for proceeding. Over 60 percent of survey respondents indicated that they wanted the CRD to continue with legal action, while 25 percent voted to start a separate CRD run fire department. Only 15

time we have at least 200 dresses in stock and probably that many scarves.” Bremner said she often bumps up against Winners when buying her lines, but says all the hard work is worth it in the end to offer women a happy medium where they can come in and buy an item without it costing a day’s salary. “I do a lot of strategic buying. It’s not as easy but the reward is the price point on the shelf,” Bremner says, explaining she holds out for “tail ends” and other deals to get the best price. “It’s a gambler’s game but I love business. It’s actually a passion for me. I find it inspirational.” Bremner was born and raised in Williams Lake and bought her first store downtown, Lynnette’s Look at the young age of 22.

Bednarz has a knack for finding treasures Angie Mindus Cariboo Advisor Wyatt Bednarz is a big fan of two things; Shania Twain and collectables. As luck would have it, those two worlds met perfectly for Bednarz while in Las Vegas at the new Shania Twain concert at Caesar’s Palace. Bednarz and his wife Gail, who pur-

chased tickets to Twain’s concert two years before the show, were headed to see her in concert Dec. 8 for only her third show when they stumbled across a store in the hotel where Twain had signed limited edition prints. Accordingly to the fellow at the store, Twain left without taking the first print

-- something artists apparently never do. “He can’t figure why she didn’t keep it,” says Bednarz, obviously thrilled with his lucky break. Bednarz brought the print back home to Williams Lake after the show, had it framed and is excited to find it a home in the couple’s house. No stranger to

finding treasures others have overlooked, Bednarz is the owner of Williams Lake Scrap Metal where there is always an opportunity to find something exciting dropped off right at his doorstep. “I get stuff every day,” said Bednarz. One of his most prized drop off items -- a 1930 washing machine -- was actual-

ly featured on the television show American Restoration recently, and will be aired in Canada next summer. “Someone just dropped it off.” A fan of the show, Bednarz contacted the show’s star Rick Dale about the washing machine, and Dale restored it and then featured it on the show. It goes without saying that Bednarz is also a fan of the show Pawn

Stars, and has seen it filmed live too. Bednarz said Dale is expecting to make a trip to Williams Lake in the spring to have a first hand look at all of his treasures.

Forest Tenure Reform

Bob Simpson, the Independent MLA for Cariboo North, is calling on the minister of forests and the NDP forest critic to provide more clarity about the tenure reform bill the government plans to introduce this session. “The minister of forests claims he’s acting on an explicit recommendation of the timber supply committee to convert major licensees’ volume-based tenures to area-based tenures,” said

Simpson. “I can’t find that recommendation anywhere in the committee’s report.” Simpson says the opposition forest critic, who served as deputy chair of the timber supply committee, must respond to the Minister’s contention that he’s acting on the committee’s recommendation. “Enabling the conversion of major companies’ volume-based licences to area-based tenures ... could lead

to the majority of BC’s public forests coming under the control of a few major forest companies. The government does not have the social licence to support the monopolization and privatization of BC’s largest public asset.” Responding to Simpson’s claims about the nature and intent of the tenure reform bill, the minister says it’s unfair to criticize the bill until it has been made public.

Computer Scam alert Recently a number of people in the Williams Lake area have been calling the RCMP to report a computer scam. The gist of the scam is that a message will appear on your computer screen advising you the you of a security alert and that you need to send money (usually $100) to a company/ organization within a certain period of time. If you refuse, the message tells

you that they will report you to the RCMP. There is even a police insignia on the message. This is a scam. What has happened is that your computer has been infected with a virus. The RCMP suggests that you do not follow prompts or direction from this message and immediately contact a computer repair service as you have already contracted the virus.

A penny for your thoughts The end of an era was marked earlier this week in the Internet world with a nod of respect by a coppercoloured Google headline with a shiny turning penny in one of the Os. Yes, as of Monday, Feb 4. the banks stopped handing out the beloved Canadian penny.

Businesses and banks however will still be accepting pennies for those of you who have stashes at home. The Canadian government actually stopped making the penny earlier this year, after deciding it was time to let the currency go since it was costing more than a cent

and a half to make. A logical decision no doubt, but since when are emotions logical? I think we'll all miss the penny for many of our own nostalgic reason and also, particularly when we get to the counter and a business rounds up our purchase. Maybe it's only a few cents,

but the idea of a store rounding up a purchase is just plain irritating. One way out of rounding up or down purchases, of course, is by using debt or credit cards. The loss of penny also begs the question … are we going to start counting our nickels now?

Super Bowl a treat for fans Sean Glanville Cariboo Advisor Fans were treated to an incredible Super Bowl on Sunday between the San Francisco 49ers and Baltimore Ravens. The Baltimore Ravens were dubbed ‘Surge Protectors’ after the game, as a 40 plus minute power outage at the New Orleans Super Dome brought the game to a stand-still. The Ravens led comfortably at 28-6 and it looked as though the lights were going out on the 49ers when power was lost early in the third quarter. The Ravens had all the momentum after an NFL record 108 yard kick-off returned for a touchdown by Jacoby Jones. However, when power was restored it was all San Francisco who battled back to within two points at 31-29 in the fourth quarter. With the Ravens leading 34-29, Colin Kaepernick and the San Francisco 49ers looked poised to complete one of the greatest comebacks in Super Bowl history. The 49ers had a first-and-goal from Baltimore's 7-yard line with 2:39 to play. After a 2-yard run by LaMichael James on first down, Kaepernick tried and failed to connect with Michael Crabtree on the next two plays. The game eventually came down to one final

play, a fourth and goal on the fiveyard-line. Kaepernick again failed to connect with Crabtree for a third successive time allowing the Ravens to take over on downs and run out the clock. The 49ers and most people agreed that the official missed a defensive holding call missed on the play and the 49ers were robbed of the Super Bowl. I predicted a San Francisco victory and despite being disappointed I couldn’t help but feel happy for Ray Lewis. People can say what they want about the man’s indiscretions off the field but he will go down as perhaps the greatest leader in NFL history. Hollywood couldn’t have wrote a better script, as back on January 2, Lewis told his teammates that this would be his "last ride." In a postgame interview Lewis described how there was no sense of panic during those season-defining final snaps of his career. "You know, honestly, the most exciting thing ever was the conversations that we were having at the goal line," Lewis said. "Nobody ever panicked -- everybody looked at each other and there was no panic." When Kaepernick's final pass fell incomplete, Lewis sprawled on the turf as a Super Bowl cham-

pion for the second time. Joe Flacco was a deserving MVP of the game. The quarterback’s perhaps most remarkable final playoff stats were his touchdown to interception ratio as he threw for 11 touchdown passes with zero interceptions. Flacco is a pending free agent who will undoubtedly get a new deal and remain a Raven. There are only two Super Bowl games I can recall off the top of my head that were as exciting. There was back in 1999 when the Tennessee Titans came up one yard short of the end zone against the St. Louis Rams at Super Bowl XXXIV. I also remember as a seven-yearold boy hearing the announcer’s famous “Wide Right” call describing Buffalo Bills kicker Scott Norwood's missed 47-yard field goal attempt as time expired at the end of Super Bowl XXV back in 1991. The New York Giants held on for the 20–19 victory in what was the closest Super Bowl ever. That was the Buffalo Bills first of four consecutive Super Bowl losses. The city of Buffalo had not won a major sports championship since 1965 so Norwood's unsuccessful attempt had an even greater significance.

How everyone can win a medal

It’s the only medal I have ever won. When I came home sporting the ribbon and its shiny, suspended disc, it was an exciting moment. Perhaps the where and when don’t matter as I almost didn’t compete, but at the last minute I decided to enter. While it wasn’t the Olympics or an event likely to be on CBC News, a quivering bit of pride told me I ought to try. Besides, if I didn’t win, I could just keep my mouth shut, and no one at home would know.

Living out Loud with Rita Corbett The Sudoku competition was for all 4.200 cruise passengers. But a couple of other details weigh in, too. First of all, there were only two

people who showed up. And, need I say that I won second place? A bit of a fall from high hopes to slowest and last! Patting ourselves on the back, we wallow in our plastic triumphs. But, like the 50-cent medallion I keep as a reminder, some awards don’t mean much. Everyone can receive medals if they set their sights low enough. And if nothing seems rewarding, my grandson’s suggestion by the trophy case might help, “Grandma, if you want

one of those trophies, couldn’t you just buy one for yourself?” Maybe we should honour ourselves for the ordinary - stuff like driving to town, eating, or answering the phone. Just so we each had a trophy or two. Wearing clean clothes is notable, or saying hello, right? Awards everywhere! Really? But prizes are for the unusual and difficult, or they used to be. And there remain many needy human battlegrounds to choose from. If someone

erased bullying, or ran oodles of marathons, or abolished slavery - they might deserve a medal. Efforts such as taking coats to shivering park residents might qualify, too - when done for dozens of years. Enjoying the taste of recognition begins in Kindergarten. But children who are sent home daily with only small and short-term projects may lose the life-sustaining vision of striving longer and harder. Encouragement is fine, and needed. Though somehow in

recent years, affirming and positives seem to have largely taken the place of production, delayed gratification, accountability and hard work. For praise we seem to have replaced loving honesty with the kindest dishonesty. Now almost anything is a “good job!” More than ever there is desperate need for heroes. Not those loud, bombastic, selfhonoring braggarts, but steady, everyday folk who deserve medals for the titanic faithfulness they offer. Will we have

heroes in our future, or a generation that is satisfied with near-meaningless goals and pathetic 50-cent medals? Actually, everyone can earn a medal. Because it’s easy. But easy is meaningless. No trophies for me, thanks. Most of them aren’t worth much anyway. This year perhaps I will take aim at really important stuff, with or without a medal. And who cares if no one ever knows! I will know. And that will be enough. LOL@caribooadvisor.com

The Williams Lake & District Chamber of Commerce and the BC Chamber of Commerce are hosting a Governance Workshop on Thursday Feb 14.

The framework is very much like a tool kit. Just as each tool in the kit enables you to perform a specific function or task so

do the components of the framework. When all components of the framework exist and are up to date they can be used to help make governance an easier and more effective job. This will be an all day workshop. The cost for a non-profit to attend is $100 per person and includes coffee breaks and lunch as well as your work books. This is an incredible opportunity for any individual who is working with a nonprofit association or is volunteering on any committee/board. You must pre-register by Friday, Feb. 8. Passport Clinic â&#x20AC;&#x201C; February 20 tentative â&#x20AC;&#x201C; we have had a few inquiries about having our MP Dick Harris host a Passport Clinic. If you are interested, we are asking you to call us before Feb. 6. We will not be having a clinic if there isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t enough interest.

New website promotes investment A new regional investment attraction website, Invest Cariboo-Chilcotin Coast BC, has been launched to promote the exciting investment opportunities in British Columbiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s central interior and coast. Invest CaribooChilcotin Coast BC is an interactive website that showcases where the best investment opportunities and major projects

of the rules governing the rollover of volumebased licences to areabased tenures may be publicly announced as regulations set by Cabinet sometime after the legislation is passed. However, sources involved in discussions with government about this proposed legislation are hearing that most of the rules will be guided by policy, which can be established and revised by a Minister and his or her staff without reference to Cabinet, the Legislature, or the pub-

lic. The Minister of Forests has publicly claimed that the recommendation to enable the rollover of forest licences was made by the Timber Supply Committee after their public meetings last summer. This is patently false: the Committee suggested a variety of considerations â&#x20AC;&#x153;if conversion to more area-based tenures is desirable.â&#x20AC;? What the Committee discovered in its hearings is that while there is some support for more area-

based tenures, there is still confusion and concern about any major shift to this form of tenure because of the exclusivity of rights they give private corporations over our public forests. When Social Credit attempted a similar rollover in 1988, widespread public backlash squashed the policy change. We need to mount a similar response to stop this unseemly, ill-timed, and politically motivated attempt to fundamentally alter our pub-

lic forest tenure system. Instead of passing legislation that would enable the wholesale conversion of the replaceable forest licences held by a few large forest companies, the government should take the conversation about area-based tenures that was started by the Timber Supply Committee to the next level by conducting a specific, time limited consultation on tenure reform throughout the province (not simply in the mountain pine beetle zone).

Chilcotin Coast. The site features an interactive map that identifies key major projects and investment opportunities throughout the region, including specific details about each project. In addition, the website includes comprehensive profiles

of regional communities and relevant information to showcase the Caribooâ&#x20AC;? Chilcotin Coast as a preferred place to invest. Municipal economic development offices throughout the region played a critical role in the development of Invest CaribooChilcotin Coast BC, developing content for community profiles and working with business and industry partners to develop profiles of key investments.

Mountain pine beetle, climate change and the rising bioenergy sector Decay of beetle-killed trees has the potential to emit large reserves of greenhouse gases and accentuate climate change. However, harvesting these stands for wood products and bioenergy could increase emissions even more. The purpose of Wyatt’s research is to compare the carbon footprint of these two potential management strategies. The movement towards short-term use of harvested timber and fiber in bioenergy is a contentious issue and should be decided on the basis of scientific data.

The Comer Station Pub opened its doors for business Monday, much to the delight of its old regulars, after receiving an extensive renovation keeping much of the original architect, fixtures and even the original tables. On hand for the opening were councillor Laurie Walters, owner Brian Evjen, counsellor Ivan Bonnell, Mayor Kerry Cook, owner Lance Marshall and owner Carl Seibert. Evjen, Marshall and Seibert purchased the pub and beer and wine store in 2012 from Tom Barr and doubled the size of the store, while refurbishing and reopening the cozy neighbourhood pub. Marshall said the trio really wanted to keep the history and feel of the original pub that Barr created and bring the pub back to the neighbourhood. Angie Mindus photo

TALKING TAXES

Tax Time Can Be Rewarding for Students

For most students, the end of April means the end of exams – not the deadline for filing a tax return. However, there are a number of tax credits and breaks designed for students and filing early could mean your refund arrives in time for Spring Break. All full- and parttime students receive a T2202A form for the total tuition fees paid for the year. This form also allows full-time students to claim an education amount of $400 per month while

part-timers are allowed $120 per month. Hang on to your T2202A – without it, you cannot claim tuition and education amounts. Students are also eligible for the Textbook Tax Credit. The credit is $65 for every month the student qualifies for the education amount. Part-time students can claim $20 per qualifying month. The credit does not depend on how many textbooks you purchase – it is standard for every student who qualifies. Students who do

not need to use the full amount of their credits to reduce their tax payable to zero must decide whether to transfer the unused portion to a parent or grandparent or carry it forward to claim themselves in future years. For example, if a student has $5,000 of tuition and education amounts and needs $1,000 to bring the tax payable to zero, he or she has $4,000 available for transfer or carry forward. In either case, the student must file a tax return in order for the transfer or carry

forward to be recorded. If you are married or living commonlaw, you also have the option to transfer the unused portion to your spouse or partner. Only the student can decide whether to transfer the credit to a parent, grandparent or spouse or carry it forward for future use. For students receiving scholarships, bursaries and other awards, the income is non-taxable if you qualify for the education credit. This includes elementary and secondary school

scholarships. For students studying abroad, the government reduced the number of weeks required to claim tuition and other student credits. Now an overseas program needs to be at least three weeks in length rather than 13 weeks. And there are some expenses students can claim on their taxes. Moving expenses to take a summer job can be deducted against your income from that job. The Public Transit Amount also offers a tax credit if you take public

transit regularly to get to school. Transit passes of a month or longer are eligible for the credit and the government recently expanded the tax credit to include weekly passes purchased for four consecutive weeks and electronic payment cards. But remember, you need to keep your old passes or receipts in order to claim the credit. University and college students are usually overwhelmed by paperwork at the beginning of each semester but keeping accurate

Separated parents and the taxman

Joint or shared-custody situations can create their own challenges once each parent starts to think about their tax return. Sometimes agreeing on who gets to claim the credits and benefits can be difficult, and it is important to understand what you can and can’t claim depending on your custody situation. If you are the parent with primary custody, you are allowed to claim the $10,822 amount for an eligible dependant for one child. Some people call this the equivalent to spouse credit, since this is the same amount you could claim for a spouse with no income. However, you have to support the child in a dwelling which you live in and maintain If you claim the equivalent to the spouse amount, you can also claim the $2,191 child amount. For people in joint-custody situations with two children, each parent can claim an amount for an eligible dependant for one of

the children as long as they are not required to pay child support. The $2,191 child amount is available for any child younger than 18. In primary-custody situations, the main parent is the only one who can claim this credit. Joint-custody parents need to agree on which parent will claim the credit for the child or children. If you can’t agree, then the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) will not allow either parent to claim it, so it may be worth spelling out the tax credits in a separation or custody agreement. Even if you agree about claiming the child credits, the CRA may still ask for proof on where the child lives and who provides support. For single parents receiving child support, the date of the agreement determines whether or not it is taxable. There may still be a few people with agreements dated before May 1, 1997, and in those cases

child support is taxable. For anyone with an agreement after this date, child support payments are neither taxable nor deductible. But you do need to report the amount on your tax return, even though you are not taxed on the amount. Now that you are separated, your Child Tax Benefit entitlement should be higher since it is now based only on your individual income. However, if you are in a shared custody arrangement, you will only receive one-half of the benefit you would have received if you were the only parent. The $500 Children’s Fitness Tax Credit can be claimed by either parent, but the amount cannot exceed $500 per child. The same rule applies to the $500 Children’s Arts amount. If you make the claim, you need to make sure you have your receipts in case the CRA reviews your return. And if you become a couple, you are considered common-law for tax purposes

Understanding childcare expenses

Parents spend thousands of dollars a year in childcare expenses, so being able to claim them on your taxes can mean a sizeable deduction. But like any deduction, there are rules and guidelines for

what you can and can’t claim. Here are some of the most common considerations: • No receipt, no claim: Your childcare provider must give you a receipt for childcare expenses.

• Lower-income claims: The higherincome spouse can only claim childcare expenses in specific situations; for example, periods during which the lower-income spouse is in school, jail or in hospital.

right away if you move in with the other parent of your child. If you move in with someone else, you need to live together one year before you are considered commonlaw. If you do get married or become common-law, you need to report the change to the CRA using an RC65 Form. And going from single to paired will affect the amount of your Child Tax Benefit. Being separated parents requires compromises and discussions on many fronts, so discussing the situation with your former spouse makes filing easier. Finding out after you file that your former spouse has also claimed the child credits is not a good strategy.

The first official Yank's Peak Challenge is scheduled to kick off this Sunday, with sign up at Yank's Peaks safety cabin.

Yank's Peak Challenge Angie Mindus Cariboo Advisor The Powder Kings Snowmobile Club's second event of the year promises to be an exciting one that will test the skills of local riders. Yank's Peak will be the setting for the first official Yank's Peak Challenge, which will see riders judged on their skills at three different sites for the beginner, intermediate and advanced rider. “This is the first ever of its kind in B.C.,” said club member and event organizer Rick

Seibert. “It's not a competition, it's a skilled event.” Seibert said riders are to meet at the Yank's Peak safety cabin at 9 a.m. to sign up, with the event getting underway at 10:30 a.m. at Tune Hill, noon at Avalanche and 1:30 p.m. at Behind the Cabin. He said riders will be demonstrating their riding skills on steep terrain, with points given by the judges for maneuvers such as the over the top, uphill turn

out, downhill turn up, left side hill, right side hill and difficulty of terrain choice. Seibert said bonus points will be given for extra special maneuvers. Prizes will be given out at the cabin at 3 p.m. “There will be prizes but basically it's for bragging rights.” There is no entry fee for the event, though there is a trail fee, and everyone over the age of 16 is welcome to take part. Seibert said excitement surrounding the event is building, and

Songs have long been a popular way to convey emotions, and love songs have been performed by artists from nearly every musical genre at some point in time. Although music is subjective, some love songs have stood out as fan favorites. Commonly featured at weddings or as the backdrop on romantic evenings, the following songs are considered some of the more popular love songs of all time. * "Love Theme From 'A Star Is Born'" (Evergreen): This Barbara Streisand classic from the hit film helped

Streisand earn both an Academy Award for Best Song from a Motion Picture and Grammy Award for Song of the Year. * "Up Where We Belong": Few people can forget the ending scene of "An Officer and a Gentleman" when Richard Gere sweeps Debra Winger off of her feet. The song "Up Where We Belong" by Jennifer Warnes and Joe Cocker from the movie will always be a romantic favorite. * "All My Life": Former Jodeci members K-Ci and JoJo created an enduring romantic song with this pop hit. * "Save the Best for Last": This song became Vanessa William's signature song and a smash hit. * "Be With You": Soul singer Mary J.

Couples celebrate Valentine's Day in a variety of ways. Some may jet off to a romantic locale while others might enjoy a night out on the town at a nearby restaurant. Some couples feel it's more romantic to stay in for Valentine's Day, preferring some quality time together as they enjoy a good meal and a favorite film in the comforts of home. Those who want a romantic movie to set the mood might want to consider the following options. * "Somewhere in Time" (1980): Starring Christopher Reeve, this drama surrounds a Chicago playwright who meets an old woman on the opening night of one of his plays. The woman presses a gold pocket watch into his hand before begging the young playwright to

return to her. Years later, the playwright is staying at a hotel and becomes taken with a young woman in a photograph, only to learn that the young woman is the same mysterious older woman who visited on opening night all those years ago. * "West Side Story" (1961): One of Hollywood's many tales of forbidden love, this classic won Best Picture after being adapted for the big screen. The score alone is enough for film afficionados, but those who also want a story won't be disappointed by this musical tale of two youngsters who fall in love despite being from rival New York City gangs. * "The Philadelphia Story" (1940): Featuring screen legends Cary Grant, Katharine Hepburn

and James Stewart, the movie focuses on the complications that arise as a socialite prepares to marry. Cary Grant plays the ex-husband of Hepburn, who must deal with the simultaneous arrival of both Grant and Stewart, a journalist who arrives to get the scoop on her pending nuptials. Stewart earned an Oscar for his performance in the film, which is also credited for helping to revive Hepburn's career after a series of box office flops. * "Casablanca" (1942): Perhaps no film is more synonymous with romance than this classic starring Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman as former lovers who reconnect one night in a pressure-packed African encounter during World War

II. The two ex-lovers still harbor feelings for one another, though Bergman's Ilsa has moved on and married a resistance leader who needs the help of Bogart's Rick to escape Nazi forces hot on his trail. The film features many classic moments. * "The Princess Bride" (1987): Couples who prefer a love story as told through a fairy tale might want to consider this Rob Reiner-directed film starring Cary Elwes as a farm boy who falls in love with Buttercup, the beautiful daughter of his employer. An ensemble cast that memorably includes Billy Crystal, Mandy Patinkin and pro wrestler Andre the Giant contributes to this hilarious classic that follows the farm boy's heroic efforts to be with the woman he loves.

Celebrate BC’s first Family Day Monday Feb 11 Eat together ■ Family Day is the ideal time to bring your family ‘back to the table’. Given the increasingly busy schedule of every member of the family, eating together has been a casualty of our hectic days. Whether you’re together in your home, on a mini-vacation or enjoying a local restaurant, there are numerous benefits to eating together. Sharing a table means sharing your day, sharing your undivided attention and sharing conversation. It is a chance to give extra attention to your children and teens. Family meals foster warmth, security and love, as well as a sense of belonging. The way that you act at the table becomes a model for your children. They learn from your appreciation of the meal and your social skills - especially when outside the home. Table manners are social skills and leading by example makes it easier for parents to teach without lecturing. Using family meals as a way to sample new menus can be both fun and a great learning experience. By giving family members input and the opportunity to choose the menu, it becomes an ideal way to expand their horizons on a wider range of foods and cultures. It also can lead to healthier choices as well as developing an open mind for experiencing new things. A way to get more out of a family meal is to engage the family in menu selection, shopping and preparation. You can begin this at a very young age giving children age-appropriate tasks like stirring ingredients, washing vegetables, tearing lettuce and setting the table. As your children grow they can take on more key responsibilities and the pride that comes with preparing a special family meal. This teaches your children cooking skills, nutrition and appreciation for the effort of meal preparation. It can also provide a great source of accomplishment and sense of self-sufficiency. Plan to make your Family Day special by including all those who make up your family. Pay tribute by making your meal special and so memorable you’ll want to ensure you do it more often.

Explore together ■ There is no better province to explore than British Columbia and no better family bonding experience than sharing the thrill of a new discovery or experience. Day trips can create remarkable family memories. They offer a wonderful way to spend time together and learn more about where you live. The variety of experiences available to families is different in each region of this spectacular province - you might decide to explore close to home or venture to one of the other regions in B.C. over the Family Day weekend. Whether taking SkyTrain, BC Ferries, driving, or hopping a flight, there are many ways to invest in a day of discovery. Travel is just one aspect. To maximize the experience families should involve everyone in the planning. By planning ahead you and your whole family can experience a worthwhile outing and make every aspect fun. Create a list of activities or venues and assign a rough budget for each. Allow family members to weigh in on their preferences and discuss what they would like to see, do or learn at each. You might decide to stay in a hotel and be a tourist in your own hometown. Kids or youth can map out the sites and activities, creating a family agenda including selecting the points of interest, lunch and shopping as well

as enjoying the amenities your hotel might offer. It’s the perfect way to free up everyone from everyday tasks and roles. Researching history, attractions, museums, parks and markets can teach valuable lessons and it helps children to plan within a budget. This way they are part of making important decisions, appreciate both the effort and cost of outings and will be more enthused about an agenda they helped develop. Be sure to capture your family time by taking photos, saving literature or purchasing a memento. This can lead to great family discussions about what each individual enjoyed or learned and starts you planning for future family explorations.

FAMILY DAY 2013

Create together ■ One of my favourite memories was creating an enormous piñata in preparation for a multi-family holiday. We blew up a huge bouncy ball and covered it with papier mache. Our children and those of our friends were young so after my young sons painted the ball white, I drew a score of cartoon characters, shapes and funny animals all around it. Filled with age-appropriate, small toys, puzzles and treats, the big white ball became a major activity for everyone in our three-family group. Every age took turns colouring in the shapes through-out the day, knowing when it was completed the ball would be strung up. The anticipation and excitement was heightened because the reward came with activity and was not immediate. Creating something as a family can mark an important time in your family history. It captures the age and ability of your children, your interests and a point in time. By working together on a project your family can develop new skills, collaborate on something truly memorable and enjoy what each family member brings to the endeavor. Think about all the things a family

could create together – a family album complete with stories, mementos and funny or poignant memories. Your family might be old enough to handle something more ambitious like preparing a garden, building a dog house or designing and painting a family recreation area in your home. Technology puts an amazing array of tools in the hands of today’s families. You can plan, write, film and edit a movie with your everyday computer and smartphone technology and software. Even more fun is sharing your family creation with friends around the world. You might even suggest a film festival by inviting families to create their own film and have a “popcorn premiere” to show them all. Searching online will uncover an astounding number of crafts and projects you could tackle as a family. It can be as simple as building and flying a kite. Or you may look for something you can recycle or re-purpose into a creative new item – whether a work of art or function. It’s bound to make your family members proud environment stewards as well as treasuring your time and project as a family.

Share together ■ Bringing together your extended family can create a highly memorable and valuable life event. They say “it takes a village to raise a child” and many would agree especially in today’s world of working parents and latchkey kids. The support, experience and interest of your extended family can have a significant impact on your immediate family. Regardless of your definition of ‘extended’ family, bringing together those with whom you share history with can have lasting benefits not just for you and your children but for those you invite to share your day. It is common in today’s world to have older children in nuclear families reach their teens before meeting extended family members. Geographical isolation is common for middle-class families who move based on occupational opportunities while family branches retain their independence. Family Day is the ideal occasion to hold family reunions to re-establish and integrate a stronger family connection. This allows your children to connect with extended family members and to share a better sense of their heritage and belonging. Don’t forget to include senior members of your family. Family reunions and relationships inspire seniors to stay active and pursue their well-being. Studies have found seniors feel revitalized when they spend time with families. Your children will benefit from hearing their oral history and that’s an inspiring experience that won’t always be available to them. Another way to celebrate Family Day is to gather your extended family and friends around something you care about. It might be a shore clean-up, a family walk or a garage sale. You might volunteer at a foodbank. Food is often central to gatherings and with everyone contributing to a family meal afterwards, it becomes a great way to share B.C.’s first Family Day.

FAMILY DAY 2013

Cook together ■ If you ask any adult about some of their favourite memories of childhood, you will invariably hear something related to food. Whether it’s baking with Grandma or grilling hamburgers for a cookout with Dad, cooking is always an important part of growing up. Family Day is a great time to dig out those family cookbooks and try a recipe handed down by the older generation. Your mom’s famous meatloaf or your uncle’s recipe for spinach dip are great things to try with family mem-

bers of all ages. Maybe you’re looking to make something you’ve never made before, or perhaps you want to try out a new cuisine. Hitting the library or the web will give you ideas for new recipes, whether it’s trying to duplicate your favourite takeout pizza or make an authentic spicy Indian dish. Let each member of the family choose a recipe that they want to try, whether it’s for breakfast, lunch, dinner or a snack. That way everyone gets involved and has their say in what the family eats. Maybe you’ll find a new favourite food or discover that your child is aiming to become the next Mario Batali or Julia Child. Your local grocery store is sure to have a wide selection of ingredients that you may never have tasted before. Wandering the aisles may even spark your imagination. Learning about what goes into a dish will set your family on the road to healthy eating. Taking a few minutes to read the labels on a food item will demonstrate how to make healthy choices and help your children in the future. Finding healthy alternatives to not-so-healthy foods can be a fun experiment, and may end up being tastier than the original food. Many stores will have sections devoted to healthier options, whether they’re gluten-free or just lower in calories.

Learn together ■ Having a day off from school doesn’t mean learning stops for the day. There are plenty of educational things you can do in British Columbia, whether in your own home or outside. How about starting with a trip to your local library? It will hold plenty of books on any topic that you can imagine. Maybe a book of science experiments or a historical novel set in the early days of Canada will stoke your imagination. Let the kids each pick out a book to take home with them and start a lifetime love of reading. Your local bookstore will also hold a variety of options if your child can’t bear to part with his or her new favourite book. A local historical attraction is also a great place to pay a visit. Whether it’s Chinatown or Steveston fishing village, there is a ton of history right in your own backyard. Most places will have a museum or heritage building around that can serve as a jumping-off point for learning more about the city where you live. Learning can be more than just reading though. Pull out the laptop and get your kids to type out an email to a family member or friend outside of B.C. Perhaps they can even tell the person about what they learned at the museum or library! Keeping a journal is also a great way to practice writing and literacy skills. Even if it’s not a daily occurrence, sitting down in the evening to write about the events of the day or week can get kids thinking and practicing their handwriting.

Cadets on top of the world at Mt. Washington biathlon provincials Army and sea cadets came away from the cadet provincial biathlon championships last weekend with one medal and lots of memories. “They were so excited to be there,” said cadet coach Cpt. Irene Berns, who accompanied the five army cadets and three sea cadets to scenic Mt. Washington on Vancouver Island Feb. 2 along with other cadets from Fort St. John and Prince George making up the Northern Region. Cadet Olund Mork from 3064 Army Cadets took home a bronze medal in the individual junior male category. Cadets Joshua Tucker, Matthew Nendick, Dana Rook, Emma Davidson, Julia Rook, Kaitlin Lebrun, and Abby-Lynn James also

finished strong but without medals. Berns said the cadets have been training since November at the Rod and Gun Club facilities and also at the Bull Mountain Cross Country Ski Club. “As soon as the snow flew in December it was game on,” Berns said of using the ski trails at Bull Mountain. “We're lucky to have such great facilities.” Berns would like thank the Williams Lake Sportsman's Association, Bull Mountain Cross Country Ski Club, RCMP Charity Golf Tournment, and the Navy League and Army Cadet League Sponsoring Committees for their continued support and sponsorship.

FIT: City

Body Transformation Challenge changes one man's life Angie Mindus Cariboo Advisor If you've finally had enough of being overweight or just plain outof-shape, the inspiration you may be needing is at Fit City right now. Fit City is offering its annual Body Tr a n s f o r m a t i o n Challenge, and the deadline for sign up is Feb. 28.

The challenge is a 12-week program which gives participants one hour with a trainer, two pounds of protein powder, a 30-day supply of Rapidcuts Fat Burner, a t-shirt, and shaker cup and the motivation some may need to get the most out of the program – a grand prize of a $2,000 travel voucher for the grand prize winner.

But the true gift is that of better health and a happier, new you, says gym owner Teena Olson. “I hear so many stories from so many people about how the challenge changed their lives,” says Olson. “It makes me so happy because to me they're not only members, they're family and friends.”

One of those friends is last year's grand prize winner Sean Morse, who literally transformed his own life – going from being considered obese at 326 pounds to dropping down to 268 pounds, or losing about 60 pounds in 90 days. “The first couple of weeks were really hard to get my cardio up. I could only walk up

about six stairs before I was out of breath,” Morse recalls of this time last year, when a good friend convinced him to sign up for the challenge. “After the first two weeks the weight started to fall off, and that drove me even harder. It was really encouraging.” In the food department, Morse said he cut out all fast food, stayed away from bread as much as possible and increased his protein intake. Morse also worked out just about every day during the challenge and the end result was going from a size 46 jean to a size 38, and dropping his shirt size from triple extra large to an extra large. “It was absolutely amazing – it has really impacted my whole life.” Morse said he went from being depressed and embarrassed about his weight, to having greatly improved his mental health, his confidence (he said last summer was the first time ever he would walk around without a t-shirt on) and his physical health – attributing his increased fitness to getting his fiancee Tamara

with his pregnant fiance recently, but has set a new goal of reducing his weight further to 245 pounds. With such a happy home life and new found success at work due to his winning attitude, Morse has already started back at the gym. “It's always hard when you first start, but I know what I need to do and everyone at the gym is really supportive.” Fit City is a 24-hour gym where members have access any time day or night, seven days a week. The facility offers a full selection of free weights, cable weights and cardio equipment including three treadmills, three ellipticals and two stair climbers. Olson said anyone can enter the Body Transformation Challenge, even if you're not a member of the gym, for $109. For three-months access to the gym and the challenge, the cost is $199 (a $300 value).

UFC night leads to knock out Over the weekend the Williams Lake Detachment members responded to approximately 50 calls for service. On Feb. 2 at 7:27 p.m. hours William Lake RCMP responded to a call from a person that there were 3 men in black hoodies who had bear spray and were knocking on her and another person's door on 2nd Ave N. Police attended and saw evidence of bear spray being discharged on the snow outside of the residence. When Police were en route and patrolling afterwards there was no sign of

anyone one matching the description of the suspects. Suspects were not located. On Feb. 2, 2013 at 2:37 p.m. hours Williams Lake RCMP responded to report teens on their bikes were jumping off the BC Oceans and Fisheries Building at 480 Cameron Street. Police attended and located two teens who were riding their bikes in the parking lot and jumping off the side of the BC Oceans and Fisheries building. Both youths admitted to jumping off the side of the building and stated others had been doing it before

them. The youths were warned of the consequences of such acts and how charges of mischief could be pursued against them as a result of damage to the building consisting of marks on the side of the building from the bike wheels. The youths were allowed to carry on without charge and no further police action was required. On Feb. 2 at 10:06 p.m. police were called by Boston Pizza to report there had been a fight and the ambulance had been called for a male who was hurt due to being assaulted. Police attended and met with the victim in the back of the ambulance where it was determined that the victim was watching a UFC fight at Boston Pizza when he was assaulted. The victim could not remember how he was assaulted consequently he was transported to hospital to verify if his memory loss was due to intoxication or concussion. Police later determined that the victim was being rude to one of the servers and some of the other patrons which ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Police made patrols in the area but were unable to locate the vehicle. Police phoned BC Hydro who arrived on scene to fix the transformer. On Feb. 2 at approximately 5:25 p.m. police responded to a residence on First Ave. to a report that a Silverado Chevy pick up was damaged overnight by person(s) unknown. The owner of the vehicle reported that no entry was gain and nothing was taken. Also, over the weekend two males were arrested for breach of their court imposed conditions. Charges are pending.

be noted for the huge improvements in their times.

Top four performers in their age groups were : Maya Nowotny, Brooklyn Carrier, Maia Vitoratos, Leif

Sean Glanville Cariboo Advisor The Williams Lake Stampeders advanced to the second round of the Central Interior Hockey League playoffs with a 4-2 victory over the Lac La Hache Tomahawks on home ice Saturday. The Stamps’ took the best-of-three series two games to none after posting a 4-3 victory in Lac La Hache the previous Saturday. Wade Balbirnie put the visitors ahead 1-0 at 12:47 from Drew Rose. Williams Lake’s Bill McGinnis answered on the power-play at 18:28 from Nathan Zurak and Brent McIsaac to tie the game at 1-1 heading into the first intermission. After a scoreless second period, Stu Sasges broke the deadlock 1:07 into the third period from Zurak and

McGinnis to make it 2-1. Jassi Sangha added an insurance marker at 14:21 of the third period assisted by Francis Johnson to put Wiliams Lake up by two at 3-1. Tomahawk’s captain Robin Gilbert scored at 18:09 to make things interesting at 3-2.

HOrOscOpe Aries, there are a few things you need to work out this week, but then you will be set for quite a while. Take the opportunity to recharge your batteries. Taurus, sometimes the things that are the hardest to come by are the ones that are most worth the effort. Think about this as you face obstacles. Gemini, contrary to what you believe, things at work will go on even if you take a few days off for a vacation. There may be some catching up afterward, but you can handle it. Cancer, your mind may be churning, but worrying excessively over something will not help the situation. Therefore, focus on something else for a while.

Last Week’s Answers

Virgo, sometimes you need to be tough on yourself to get things done, but you will be satisfied with the results when you push yourself. Focus on goals this week.

Experiment with marinades for improved flavour and texture Marinading food serves two purposes; one is to tenderize and the other is to impart and improve flavor. I have used marinades for both purposes, however I must admit that I don’t use this preparation method as much as I should because you can get some wonderful dishes with easy to make marinades. A marinade is basically a strong flavored liquid which may contain oil, lemon juice, vinegar, red or white wine, cider or other acid ingredients. The acid ingredient is used to get into and tenderize the food, while the oil is used for its soften-

ing powers. Marinades are usually flavored with carrots and onions, garlic, bay leaves, herbs and spices and can be either cooked or uncooked. Often when I finish using a marinade I will put it in a pot over medium to low heat and reduce it by half or more and use this as a

sauce for the dish I am cooking. Vegetables also may be marinated using basil, tarragon, marjoram or parsley. Wine and vinegar are usually used for meat, poultry and seafood but wine is rarely used in vegetable marinades. Lemon juice is suitable for all marinades. The larger pieces of meat should have the flesh well pierced with a fork to allow the marinade to reach through all of the meat and these bigger pieces should be marinated overnight and up to 24 hours. Smaller pieces do not generally need to be pricked with a fork and

of course will need to be marinated for as little as two hours. Meats that are being marinated for flavor only also require less time. We understand that marinating can have a lot of potential for food however many people only use marinating for meats. Fruit prepared in a marinade can taste quite different with excellent add on flavors. Mango marinated in lemon juice, pineapple soaked in Kirsch, fresh strawberries in brandy produce some palate pleasing results. Here is a simple white wine marinade that goes well with cut up chicken or fish.

Leo, just when you think the week will go on without any excitement, something pops up and it’s just what you need to beat the doldrums. Expect time with friends.

White Wine Marinade 8 Tbsp dry white wine 5 Tbsp olive oil 2 Tbsp fresh chopped parsley 1 small onion cut up 3 Bay leaves Freshly ground pepper and salt to taste. Mix all ingredients together, leave in fridge overnight and then strain, pour over chicken. You can leave this on chicken or fish for a couple of hours or overnight in the fridge. Try using a marinade the next time you cook. Bye for now and Goood Cooking

Libra, a risk you take this week will pay off in a big way. You might be anxious to take a significant risk, but the eventual reward will be well worth it. Scorpio, it may be challenging to find some initial support for a new idea because you are essentially charting new territory. Just give it time and people will come around.

Slow down a little, Sagittarius. Moving faster will not get the job done to your satisfaction and then you only will have to do it all over again. Think through your options. Capricorn, shift your focus to your family for the next few days because you have to make some decisions that will affect them all. Listen to your gut feeling when making these decisions. Aquarius, there are some things around the house that need your attention, but you may be having trouble finding the motivation to tackle them just now. Pisces, when an opportunity comes your way, you may want to take a pass because something better is on the horizon.
