Price investigation continues Angie Mindus Cariboo Advisor The small community of Likely and area is the focal point of an ongoing RCMP investigation into the worrisome disappearance of 60-year-old Gary Price. Mr. Price has now been missing almost two weeks. He was last seen Feb. 28 and reporting missing by concerned family members March 3 after his truck was found about one kilometre east of Likely, parked on the side of Keithley Creek Road. The Williams Lake RCMP, with the assistance of the Central Cariboo Search and Rescue and an RCMP helicopter, conducted an extensive physical search of the Yank's Peak snowmobiling area (located about a half hour's drive east of Likely) and the
Keithley Creek Road for three days before standing down the search last week. “At this point we don't believe a further ground search will provide any more information,” said Insp. Warren Brown of the Williams Lake RCMP. Brown said the investigation into Price's disappearance is now “switching gears” from a physical search into an investigation, with RCMP canvassing local residents and businesses in the Likely area. “Right now, we are trying to learn as much about Mr. Price as we can – who his friends are, what his daily routine was, his lifestyle,” said Brown. Brown said police have found no leads to suggest Mr. Price met with foul play. He did note however that the disappearance is “unusual and out-of-char-
acter for Mr. Price.” “We have to be cognizance of the fact that sometimes unfortunate things happen to people.” For the past three seasons Price worked on a part time basis for The Williams Lake Powder Kings Club at the Yank's Peak parking lot where he worked weekends collecting trail fees from snowmobilers. “It gave him a little extra spending money,” said Powder Kinds President Rick Jelley of Price's work. “He was a good guy for us. He did a good job.” Jelley said the club lent Price a snowmobile as part of the deal to use to get back and forth from the Yank's Peak parking lot where he parked his truck to his remote, snowmobile access-only home on nearby Cariboo Lake.

Neighbour averts disaster on Fairview Drive Angie Mindus Cariboo Advisor Williams Lake Fire Chief Randy Isfeld is crediting the quick actions of a neighbour with averting a full-blown house fire in the golf course subdivision early Tuesday morning. “The owners were for-
tunate that their neighbour saw the fire because they were sound asleep,” said Isfeld yesterday, who received the call for help at 4:21 a.m. Isfeld said the neighbour of #57 Fairview Drive was heading to work when he saw a fire at the
back of his neighbour's house, and quickly alerted them. Then, Isfeld said, the neighbour and home owners grabbed their fire extinquishers and put out most of the fire before crews arrived. “Not only did they get lucky (with the neighbour
spotting the fire), but they also handled it well,” said Isfeld. “If those things didn't happen we would have been dealing with something very different.” Isfeld was still investigating the cause of the fire yesterday. Early estimates
put the damage to the home at about $10,000. This was the fire department's 67th call out of the year. It is also Isfeld's 37th and final year with the fire department, as he nears his retirement date of August 31.

City and CRD make a deal Angie Mindus Cariboo Advisor The City of Williams Lake and Cariboo Regional District seem to have put their differences aside and come up with an agreement on fire protection, at least for this year. Late Friday evening, the two issued a joint news release stating they have entered into an agreement for the City to continue to provide fire protec-

tion to rural fringe area residents until Dec. 31, 2013. The agreement is based on a flat fee of $579,221 covering the period of Jan. 1 to Dec. 31, 2013. “The parties have also agreed to discontinue legal proceedings with no costs awarded to either party,” they stated. “In the meantime, both parties will explore their options for the provision of fire
Vehicle break-ins at Cariboo Memorial Williams Lake RCMP responded to approximately 90 calls for service over the weekend. March 9, 2013 At approximately 9:26 a.m., Williams Lake RCMP received a complaint of mischief to vehicle on Mackenzie Avenue North. Police attended and located a green 1998 Chevrolet pickup truck where the vehicle had a smashed passenger window and there was glass. Nothing appeared to have been stolen from the vehicle. Evidence was collected at the scene and police are continuing to investigate.
At 2:26 p.m. police responded to a complaint of a disturbance. The complainant reported that two males were in front of a residence on 6th Ave. yelling at each other. One of the suspects that had departed the area was described as a young native male, wearing a black hoodie with white writing and a ball cap. Police located a male matching that description walking down the middle of 4th Ave. near Comer Street. The male was identified and found to be under the influence of alcohol. The male was arrested and while police were
conducting a search of the individual, an 8" kitchen knife stuffed in the male's left sock was located. The individual was also placed under arrest for possession of a weapon and charges are pending. March 10, 2013 At 9:26 a.m. police responded to a complaint of a theft of vehicle. The owner stated that he had returned home form the bar at approximately 2 a.m. and parked his Ford F350 Lariat truck on 6th Ave. When he awoke at 9 a.m. the next morning his truck was gone. Distinguishing features on the vehicle
include Browning stickers in the rear window, a chrome gas handle, and a bush bumper with fog lights. March 11, 2013 At about 9 p.m. police responded to a complaint that multiple vehicles had been broken into at the Cariboo Memorial Complex in Williams Lake. Upon attendance, police found that five vehicles had been damaged. Access to all of the vehicles was made by smashing the windows. All that was missing from the vehicles in most cases was cigarettes and change. Surveillance footage showed a male
protection services in the future.” The two have been at odds for months since the City backed out of a five-year deal with the CRD in the days leading up to Christmas, forcing the CRD to file, and win, a court injunction against them. The CRD was also pursuing legal action, and exploring the possibility of building their own fire hall.

Annual bluegrass concert set for March 24
Craig Smith photo
Randy Pokeda is one of the musicians headlining the Bluegrass concert set to take place in Williams Lake at the Gibraltar Room March 24 at 7 p.m.
Angie Mindus Cariboo Advisor Bluegrass lovers will delight in knowing the 10th annual Bluegrass concert is just around the corner. Event organizer Rossetta Paxton of the Hub Bluegrass Club says she expects another great concert this year, with seminar leaders of the 108 Cabin Fever Bluegrass Workshop coming in to headline the concert. “We have always been very fortunate with the talent level of our leaders,” said
Paxton. Paxton said the same students have been coming to the workshops for years, where for three days March 20 - 22 the 108 Hills will be transformed into bluegrass central, and capped off with an instructor's concert Friday night. Paxton said tickets are $25 in advance, or $30 at the door. The concert is set for March 24 at the Gibraltar Room, with doors opening at 6:30 p.m. and the show at 7 p.m. Paxton said $5
from every ticket will be donated to the Cariboo Foundation Hospital Trust to go toward a new mammography unit. Seminar leaders performing at the March 24 concert include John Reischman, Trisha Gagnon, Nock Hornbuckle, Trent Freeman and Chris and Sally Jones. Local talents include Jason and Pharis Romero and Randy Pokeda. At the seminar,
Jason Romero is teaching Clawhammer Banjo while Pharis is teaching Bluegrass vocals. Randy Pokeda is teaching Advanced beginner and Intermediate Dobro. Paxton said the same students have been coming to the workshops for years, where for three days The 108 Hills is transformed into bluegrass central and is finished off with an instructor's concert Friday night.
“It's a great get together. It's like a family reunion,” said Paxton. “It's hard to believe we've been doing it for 10 years.” Paxton said there are still some spaces available for the workshop. If anyone is interested in the workshop or for more information about the concert in Williams Lake, contact Paxton at rossetta@shaw.ca with the subject line “concert” or “workshop.”
Cadets host exchange Irene Berns Williams Lake Army Cadets hosted an interprovincial cadet exchange this past weekend with 32 cadets from New Brunswick. The weekend was jam packed with activities including demonstrations at the Williams Lake Sportsman's Association, tours of the museum and RCMP detachment, a photo scavenger hunt downtown, swimming, bowling, a tour of Eagleview Equestrian Center, and cultural display at the Williams Lake Indian Band. The weekend was a huge success
and cadets could not stop talking about their experiences! This all could not have been possible without the many organizations through the city that helped provide activities, parent volunteers, and the Army Cadet League sponsoring committee. A special thank you goes out to RH2 Food Services, True Food Services, School District 27 and Thompson Rivers University for providing excellent food and accommodations.

Standing ovation for TRU Grit Gala!
The TRU North Gala was a huge success. The 2nd annual TRU Grit Gala was a sold out event many are calling the event of the year. Men and women of Williams Lake valeted their cars, showed off their best garments and dined like royalty, all to support scholarships and awards for TRU North Students. The event held both a silent and live auction leaving many guests walking away with exciting purchases. A Canucks weekend, Las Vegas vacation and Sun Peaks ski in, ski out accommodation were a few items up for bidding. Entertainment for the night included AngelKeys Music Studio, Youth Fiddlers and March Hare. Speeches were kept to a minimum... guests danced the night away stopping only for a quick taste of the chocolate fountain. March Hare performed all genres of music from different decades. Guests left the evening already asking about next year’s event. The TRU North Gala is a public event open to everyone. We hope to see everyone out at next year’s Gala. STONE TAKES A TOUR! Elementary school students from the Yunesit’in community explored the TRU North Campus. The youngsters were able to work through the TRU North health facility. Practical Nursing students hosted health care stations demonstrating proper nursing procedures and health care practices. The future TRU North students learned all about healthy eating, proper wound care and other practices nurses face on a daily basis. They worked interactively and were able to gain an understanding of what is required of our health care providers.

World awaits word of new Pope All eyes are on The Vatican City this week as the Roman Catholic church chooses a new Pope. The cardinals of the church entered the Sistine Chapel yesterday afternoon (March 12) for the first round of balloting. If, as expected, no pope emerges on that ballot, the 115 eligible cardinals will continue voting on subsequent days, with two rounds of balloting each morning and evening. If by the third day they do not reach the
two-thirds majority required for the election of a new pontiff, voting is halted for a day of prayer, then they will begin again until a new leader is chosen. Prior to entering the Conclave, the College of Cardinals short-listed their choices, naming Canadian Cardinal Marc Ouellet as one of the front runners. The big question is, would the church allow a Canadian leader, or someone outside of Europe for that matter, to be the next Pope? Cardinal Ouellet
would be an exciting choice that’s for sure, and it would definitely up Canada’s position on the world stage. Though hopeful for Ouellet, it is unlikely that the Catholic church will step outside of tradition and outside of Europe to find a Pope to lead its 1.2 billion followers worldwide. But the whole process has been a fascinating one to watch on the evening news, and brings us to our question ... why don’t we teach our students
about religion in public schools? We welcome all ethnicities into our country, we sing about God in our national anthem, but we don’t explore faith of any kind in school. If anyone wants any spiritual teachings they must pay to go to one of our private schools in town. Why? Why can’t we have the option in our public schools to learn about religion. Perhaps this is something we should revisit in our School District.
City Council gets back on track It’s nice to see City Council making some smart decisions again. Friday evening, the City announced it agreed to a fire protection deal for the remainder of the year with the Cariboo Regional District. The deal will see the City receive almost $580,000 this year for the one-year contract, money that surely go a long ways in the budget. The parties have also agreed to stop legal proceedings. At its March 5 meeting, City Council also resolved to support the Cariboo Mountain Bike Consortium in its efforts to develop
Williams Lake’s popular mountain bike tourism sector. Council is encouraging the Consortium to bring forward proposals to Council to assist in their ongoing efforts. Working to prioritize, protect and link key mountain biking areas to the City and supporting the development of additional trailheads within City limits is part of Council’s World Class Recreation strategic priority in the Official Community Plan, said the City. Mountain biking is said now one of the fastest growing tourism sectors in the Cariboo, with the total value of
the mountain biking sector estimated at over $2.26 million. The great thing about promoting mountain biking is that not only does it bring in money without a huge impact on the environment, it also improves the quality of living for local residents who enjoy the sport. According to Bike Consortium research, mountain bikers are profiled as being largely university educated with 75% of riders in the Cariboo region earning $65,000 annually. A further 15% earn more than $100,000 a year. We would also like
to affectionately add the descriptive “crazy” to the profile of some mountain bikers, particularly the ones who breeze down Sick N’ Nasty or jump one of the many road gaps on our trails. Also, credit should be given to where credit is due; to the countless bikers who built the trails before it was ever popular to do so, and our awesome bike shops, Red Shred’s Bike and Board Shed and Barking Spider Mountain Bikes for their work. And congratulations to the City, for supporting a good thing when they see it.
lead to harmful overmedication, while it has already been discredited as unsafe and scientifically unsound. With this manual at $199 a copy as a guide, all normal human reactions to life circumstance comes under the microscope so to speak and if you are impatient, sad and frustrated, (which you would no doubt get from read-
ing the manual to start with), you get a pill. There are drugs for shyness for example and something called Social Anxiety Disorder. (Which I presume, is people who are afraid to leave their house?) There are several new child disorders added including "oppositional defiant disorder" (ODD). So if your two-year-old throws a temper tantrum in the supermarket, you can now pop a pill in their mouths. A perfectly acceptable treatment that is soon I am sure, to become very popular. The technique I used to use with my kids was to simply bribe them by yelling “chocolate!” and
it worked like a charm. The one that really gets to me however is called; "minor neurocognitive disorder" - the forgetting characteristic of old age. Will this not result in huge numbers of misdiagnosed people? I can’t remember anything that happened five seconds ago, so I am a prime candidate for some medication of some sort. Now, over diagnosis is one thing, but classifying every human emotion as a disorder in order to make a buck, takes psychiatry over the brink and a profession in need of some self therapy. Since prescribing drugs to people for

Giving a label to life's trials and tribulations

Here is where human thinking and emotions come under the scrutiny of the APA and their medical diagnostic response to a curative factor in each case deemed as a mental illness.

NTIT -“not too interested in the truth disorder.” or CSTB - “Can’t stand the b.s. disorder.” And while we are at it, here’s a few for me; Driving in traffic disorder, (I am sure there is a drug I can take to mellow me out, the heck with driving defensively, the other guy can be king of the road while I enjoy the scenery totally spaced out.) Too much rain disorder, Telemarketing response disorder and Stressed out over belly fat disorder. The list carries
on; Annoying TV commercials malady, Bird poop on the car negative reaction complex, Overhearing loud cell phone conversations tied to my anger management syndrome. And yet more; People who are a pain in the butt conundrum, Unable to figure out my dreams disorder, Hearing the nearby howl of wolves anxiety and Not getting enough sex disorder. (This last one runs rampant.) Finally, getting a false positive on sanity tests. I guess I am overdue for some deep analysis and a regular diet of drug varieties that will keep me from going over the edge, allowing me to be
upbeat and deliriously happy. On the other hand, there is such a thing as self healing. Instead of relying on psychiatry’s heavy medications with serious side effects, why not take your self to task, bring your afflictions to the light of human understanding using your God-given intelligence? Herewith opening to the great healing power of the universe and filling yourself with the light of positive and loving forgiveness of all, starting with yourself. For if you are filled with light, nothing much can touch you, or cause you grief. Worth a try is it not?

Examining the right side of B.C. politics
There was a time, not long ago, when I thought that Bill VanderZalm and Rafe Mair were as far to the right on the political spectrum as you could possibly get. During the antiHST campaign, I had
the opportunity of listening to both, and subsequently read what they have had to say about the current state of affairs, both political and economical in B.C. ever since the faux-Liberal/Reform Party took the reins of power. I
have since come to realize that I share many of the views both these former politicians have expressed in public presentations and discussions I have attended. Maybe we need to re-examine exactly how far on the Right
Wing of the political spectrum in B.C. the current faux-Liberal/ Reform Party is really situated. B.C. has a child poverty rate of 14.3%, but also had the most unequal distribution of income among rich
and poor families with children. The ratio of the average incomes of the richest ten percent compared to the poorest 10% was the worst of any province at 13.8 to one. John Visentin Williams Lake

Paying tribute to Canadian legend Stompin' Tom Stompin' Tom Connors is with us in memory only these days. He recently passed away at 77 years old but there are many who remember this Canadian icon. I brought the Super Canuck into 100 Mile House years ago through the Kinsmen, and when we first started mentioning on radio that he was coming into town people were telling me that we would sell very few tickets cause there weren’t many folks who wanted to come out to see a guy kick the heck out of a little piece of one inch thick plywood while he was singing. The concert was sold out and I saw some of the people who said they wouldn’t be coming, stompin their feet and clapping their hands when he
Contemplating Ken with Ken Wilson
sang Big Joe Muffraw to start the concert. After the show was over we had a few beers with the singer and Gary Empy, his lead guitar player at the time. I stayed on after the Kinsmen left and my exit wasn’t until five o’clock in the morning. The best story he told me was about this tour of Canada that the Feds paid him to travel to some top cities in the country . When he
went to Edmonton he was booked into some fine accommodations in the Canadian Hotel chain. The pair went down to dinner and were told they would have to wear a tie to eat in the dining room. As they didn’t have a tie between them, the hotel found a couple for the entertainers. When they were in the dining room a very officious looking head water came over to them to take the order...and to also ask if they wanted an hors d’ oeuvre. Because they didn’t like the fancy stuff and having to wear ties, Connors and Empy decided they would order a bologna sandwich as a joke. In about 15 minutes the head waiter came over with a big covered silver tray and with a dash of his hand he opened
the dish to show it to them, for their approval. Connors told me the fanciest, best looking bologna sandwich he had ever seen was on the tray. With that story and many others, including a political discussion and how much he liked out country, we talked until it was time for me to go to work at the radio station. Stompin Tom listened to my show, did a call-in, and went to bed. A very interesting person, and someone who I was very pleased to meet. Of course the hockey song, played in arenas around the world will be his most remembered song, there are many others in his ‘Canadian catalogue’ of fine songs about this nation and the people who make
up this great land. Thanks for the memories Stompin' Tom. ...

Funds target home violence
This month, the Ulkatcho Indian Band will receive a $20,000 provincial grant from civil forfeiture proceeds to combat violence against women and family violence. The funding will help the Ulkatcho’ten Generations Project, designed to train local professionals in violence pre-
vention, lateral violence awareness programming, and trauma recovery. The local funding, announced today by MLA Donna Barnett, is part of nearly $1 million going to 81 projects around the province. B.C.’s Civil Forfeiture Office files civil court actions against
property alleged to be a tool used to further unlawful activity or a proceed of it. This round of grants includes a new funding stream focused on projects to combat bullying. In all, 16 school-led antibullying efforts are sharing about $200,000 of the $1 million in grants.
Submitted by Jenny Noble This year the Williams Lake Field Naturalists have an extraordinary treat for those who attend their annual Fundraising Banquet. Award-winning teacher, broadcaster, author and videographer Briony Penn shares her stories and the science on why getting trapped inside is really bad for us and is impacting life expectancy and quality of life for our children. Spending more time outside in nature makes us happier and more resilient to the upheaval caused by climate change. Briony has a special interest in making nature accessible to children. She brings some of the best success stories from leaders in this field on how to bring society back to a healthy relationship with the natural world. She envisions a restoration economy, where nature is valued properly and where meaningful, interesting outdoor work is once again a choice for our kids. The annual banquet is a muchanticipated event. The dinner prepared by the United Church ladies is always delicious and the desserts legendary. Door prizes, Volunteer of the Year Award and camaraderie make for a lively evening. This year we have a special enticement, a silent auction item of great interest to parents, grandparents and special friends of children. To help raise funds for the much-needed energy upgrade to the

Anders and Perry at the Station House
The Station House Gallery is featuring the works of two local artists this month. From March 8 to 30 in the Main Gallery, Caroline Anders exhibit Chelmsford is a collection of works inspired by her rural childhood in Northern Ontario. Images of farm life, like the hazy memories of a child come through in a rich pallet of colours. Depth and emotion can be felt through the layering of paint and expressive line.
The Station House Gallery is showcasing the work of artist Caroline Anders with her exhibit Chelmsford, a collection of works inspired by her rural childhood in Northern Ontario.
Throughout her time in Wells Anders has blossomed into an accomplished artist. Her work has matured and developed as she has created bodies of work in diverse styles. Her creative talent has been rewarded through numerous scholarships and she has shown her work at the BC CIRAC Arts Fest traveling exhibitions in 2008, 2009, 2010 & 2011. Solo shows in Wells, Terrace, Quesnel and Penticton are just a few of her accomplishments.
In the Upper Gallery, the exhibit Hidden Works by Kelly C. Perry will be on display. This show, composed of acrylic paintings in a variety of sizes, takes an up close look into the life of flowers. Through this exploration in line and colour Perry compares the life cycle of humans and flowers. Perry starts with photos and primary colours and through a process of outlining and colour mixing she creates these beautiful works.

Due to high concentrations of dust in the air Williams Lake residents were warned to avoid strenuous outdoor activities. Staying indoors with windows
and doors closed helps to reduce exposure. Government officials warned exposure is particularly a concern for infants, the elderly and those who
have underlying medical conditions such as breathing or lung conditions, hay fever, asthma or persons who react strongly to dust. If you are experi-

WL Blue Fins make a splash at Spring Fling More than 100 swimmers took to the water at Sam Ketchum Pool last weekend to compete in the Cariboo Dental Clinic Spring Fling meet. The Williams Lake Blue Fins hosted the event, which saw 45 swimmers from Prince George, 16 from Quesnel and 45 from Williams Lake compete with some great results. Blue Fins Head Coach Chad Webb said he was impressed with the club's results. "We had over 40 swimmers at the meet and last year our club was that size, so this is a great step
in the right direction,” said Webb. “We had some great team spirit all weekend long and the older swimmers did a great job in helping mentor the younger swimmers. Our coaching staff needs to be commended as everyone swam well - especially our younger developing swimmers who are coached by Geneva Gordon, Tracey Beauchamp and many other senior swimmer volunteers.” Webb said the meet was geared towards the non provincial swimmers so the upper age group competition was not fierce as
Blue Fins dominated in most of the 12 and over categories. The younger age groups saw some great competition as most of the out of town swimmers were 12 and under. Top three finishers in the 12 and under races (not including AA and AAA Provincial Swimmers –who swam the meet for training) were; 8 and under girls Taylor Fitzgerald – 1st 50 free, 2nd 100 free, 1st in 50 back, 1st 50 fly, 3rd in 100 IM.

Traffic fine revenue benefits Cariboo Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett announced Monday that the B.C. government is assisting the local governments of the CaribooChilcotin area in providing services with $198,564 in grants. The Strategic C o m m u n i t y Investment Fund (SCIF) restructures the Traffic Fine Revenue Sharing program and Small Community and Regional District Grants. Since 2009, the Strategic Community Investment Fund has provided $562 million in funding to support B.C. communities and enable them to invest money in projects that are identified at the local level as a priority. The SCIF program was implemented by the province at that time to help provide local governments with greater financial stability in economically uncertain times. Williams Lake received $105,752, the Cariboo Regional District was given $26,396 and 100 Mile House received $66,416. The Traffic Fine Revenue Sharing program directly assists eligible municipalities that pay police enforcement costs. The grants come from ticket fines and courtimposed fines on violation tickets, and the amount of money a
municipality receives is based on its contribution to total municipal policing costs. Since the commitment to return 100 per cent of net traf-
fic fine revenues was made in 2004 more than $554 million has been returned to communities across the province.
Sometimes wonder and worry about your child’s behaviour? Concerned about your relationship with your child? Feel like you just don’t know what to do? The Connect Parent Group is a series of workshops in Williams Lake that takes a different approach than most other parenting groups. Rather than focusing on behavioural management techniques, the Connect Parent Group focuses on enhancing the building blocks of attachment, improving the parents’ ability to reflect before acting, and adjust their feelings so they respond more constructively to conflict. The series of free 10 one hour sessions is delivered over 10 weeks. Parents watch role-plays presented by two facilitators that open new choices for responding to their adolescent’s difficult behaviour. Parents learn, for example, that conflict is part of
attachment and is particularly acute during times, such as the transition through adolescence. Parents learn to ‘step back’ in emotionally charged situations, recognize and modify their own feelings, while considering the possible meanings behind their adolescent’s behaviour. Throughout the sessions parents are also encouraged to reflect upon their own experiences — when they were adolescents as well as their present circumstances. Helping parents feel more knowledgeable in these areas helps them understand their adolescent’s behaviours and needs. This allows parents to keep their emotions in check when dealing with difficult situations and use parenting strategies that clearly sets limits and expectations but does it in a way that maintains relationships. Connect has promising out-
comes, both short and long term. Parents report feeling less stressed and more effective in parenting; they see fewer behaviour problems and better social functioning in their teen. Parents who have participated in the group have provided positive feedback and indicated they feel respected and supported in the group. The next session start date is April 09, 2013 5:30 pm -6:30 pm –Tuesdays. There is no charge but preregistration is required. Food and refreshments are provided.

Eight months later he’s released into his parents’ (Robert De Niro, Jacki Weaver) care. He’s hoping to win back his wife, despite the fact that she’s put a restraining order on him. Still given to odd rants and inappropriate comments, Pat meets Tiffany (Jennifer Lawrence), a young widow who had a breakdown following the death of her husband. She offers to help him win back his wife if he’ll enter a dance competition with her.

Last Week’s Answers
VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, let a particular situation cool down instead of adding extra fuel to the fire. Step away from a heated discussion if you feel like things may get out of control. LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, your heart may beat a little faster this week because of the excitement involved in meeting someone that has been on your mind. Be patient.
Sliced beef with curry sauce The menu of life is somewhat different and perhaps a little more difficult than a nice menu in a restaurant. The menu of life allows us to pick what kind of person we should become at all different ages. The menu of a café gives us the opportunity to select the kind of dish our tastebuds would enjoy and so it is a relatively simple procedure. I sometimes will pick an item from a café menu that I would like to try and make it in my own kitchen, so by ordering this I can taste the food and
get an idea of how the professional chef created this dish. Then I go home and try to cook something close to that which I ate in the restaurant. When I was in the Cook Islands I had lamb with a rich tasting red wine sauce. I wanted to know what was in the sauce so I
went to one of the staff who took me in to see the chef. He told me it was two red wines, a port and a merlot, about a number 2. He cooked it on the stove and reduced it by half, almost to the point of being syrupy. I have used this with beef as well as lamb. Sauces are the hardest to determine how they are made but generally you can come close however I would not have thought about using two different wines to make the lamb sauce. Here is a recipe that would not be too hard to replicate if one were
to have this in a café and want to make it at home. Sliced Beef with Curry Sauce Ingredients needed are 200 g of cubed cut beef (tenderloin or flank steak will work) 1 cup of diced onions 400 g of cubed cut potatoes...that is almost 1 cup 20 pieces of cubed cut carrot Marinade for beef...1 tbsp light coloured soy sauce ½ tbsp corn starch 1 tsp of sugar 1 tbsp cold water Seasonings included 1 ½ tbsp curry powder, 2 cups cold water, 2/3
LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, someone is going to open up to you emotionally and you may get caught off guard by the level of intimacy. This could turn out to be the start of a long-lasting friendship.
tsp salt and 1 tsp of sugar. Heat 2 tbsp of oil in a wok or frying pan then add the onion, curry powder along with the potatoes and carrots, stir for a while. Add 2 cups of cold water seasoned with salt and sugar. Cover the wok and reduce heat to low for about 10 minutes. Stir fry the beef very quickly then add it to the curry sauce...cover again, turn heat to high for about 20 seconds. Serve. I hope you get a chance to cook this tasty dish. Bye For Now and Gooood Cooking!
SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, continue to discuss a financial situation with your significant other. Even if the discussion grows tiresome, talking it out is the best way to resolve the issue. SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, you have an uncanny way of turning something that would normally be disastrous into enjoyable chaos. Think about a side career in party planning. CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, big changes are in store for your family and there are nerves to accompany these changes. Set aside a day this week where you can have peace, quiet and time to reflect. AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, your words are being heard but their meaning is simply not sinking in. Try rephrasing or approach the situation from another direction. PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, your social schedule is jam-packed and you wouldn’t have it any other way. There may be a pocket of time for more fun.
