First Nations search for truth and reconciliation

Angie Mindus Cariboo Advisor For the first time ever in local history, First Nations people impacted by their experiences at the St. Joseph’s Mission Residential School are reaching outside of their communities for hope and

healing.

“We need to tell our stories, we need to download, and to do that, we need an ear,” an emotional Canoe Creek member and Phyllis Webstad told a crowd of leaders, educators and Mission school survivors

gathered at WLSS last week during a SD 27 Professional Development Day. “We are asking for nonFirst Nations people to be willing to listen to those stories without judgement.”

Seniors listened as candidates in the provincial election aired their views during an all-candidates forum Saturday in the common area at Williams Lake Senior Secondary. The forum was hosted by the Senior's Advisory Council.

Economy improving in the lakecity

Unemployment is down and lumber prices are up, according to the First Quarter Economic Indicators Report Council received at its meeting April 23.

Unemployment in the Cariboo was at 6.7% in March, compared to 7.5% in March 2012.

The provincial unemployment rate was 7.3% in March 2012 and 7% in March 2013. Lumber prices averaged more than $400 per thousand board feet in the first quarter of 2013, compared to just under $300 in the same period in 2012.

The report contains economic statistics from the City of Williams

Lake, the provincial and federal governments (unemployment rate) and the Northern BC Real Estate Board.

It provides a snapshot of the first quarter of 2013, compared to the first quarters of previous years.

In addition, the report notes that economic forecasts for B.C. estimate moderate growth in 2013, but forest products and mining are noted as growth sectors. U.S. housing starts increased to over one million in March, the highest level in five years. This increased demand along with tighter supply has driven lumber prices

to over $400 per 1,000 board feet, a high not seen since 2007. These figures bode well for Williams Lake. Locally, building permit applications being processed for industrial and commercial developments are anticipated to result in mid 2013 permit value levels rising approximately 50% over the first half of 2012 values.

The City is completing initiatives in 2013 with the goal of making City Hall more business-friendly. As a start, the City will be looking at best practice illustrations from the award winning communities of the BC Small Business Roundtable’s

Small Business Friendly Community Award program. Examples include streamlining local regulations, highlighting the importance of local business sectors to the community, and working with business groups to help identify gaps and complimentary business opportunities.

Promoting existing municipal incentives will also be one step in efforts to enhance the City’s business friendliness.

For example, increasing communications about the City’s two existing Revitalization Tax Exemptions programs will be one part of the project. These tax exemption programs

Candidates attend all-candidates forums Candidates for Cariboo North and the Cariboo Chilcotin ridings faced off in two, lightly attended forums in Williams Lake Saturday.

The first forum took place at 1 p.m. at the Williams Lake Senior Secondary common area and was hosted by the Senior’s Advisory Council.

That forum was attended by Cariboo

offer property owners in the downtown core and north end industrial area an opportunity to offset assessment based municipal tax increases that may result from capital investments to buildings and property.

Consulting with local business associations, such as the Chamber of Commerce who have identified working with the City to enhance this part of the City’s business environment, will also be a key part of ongoing business friendly efforts.

The City’s Economic Indicators Reports are available online at www. williamslake.ca/index. asp?p=1183 .

Property crime down, domestic violence up

Property crime has decreased by over 50 per cent since 2008, and 20 per cent since last year, according to the City.

City Council heard the update recently as they received the Williams Lake RCMP’s First Quarter Crime Statistics Update.

Overall, property crime has decline 56 per cent since the first quarter of 2008, including an 87 per cent drop in vehicle

theft, and a 71 per cent decrease in robberies. Since 2012, theft of vehicle has dropped 71per cent, and robberies have declined by 50 per cent. The 20 per cent drop in overall property crime exceeds the “E” Division goal of 10 per cent this year.

Reports of domestic violence have increased 40 per cent since 2008, and are at 2012 levels. Inspector Warren Brown told Council that increased reporting

may be a factor in the higher statistics, and that there is a community-based approach to addressing the issue.

“It is always welcome to see the hard work by the RCMP and Community Policing pay off in the form of reduced crime,” says Mayor Kerry Cook.

“We still have work to do, but the progress this community has made in fighting crime is amazing.”

Also at the meeting,

Inspector Brown outlined the detachment’s Annual Performance Plan, which includes initiatives on crime reduction, building relationships with Aboriginal communities, employee wellness, and domestic violence.

Safer Communities Coordinator Dave Dickson outlined current Community Policing activities, including alerting the public to fraud schemes, counterfeit money

Open burning ban in effect The Cariboo Fire Centre and Wildfire Management branch would like to remind the public about its open burning prohibition.

The CFC/WMB’s prohibition bans all backyard and industrial burning, including waste, slash, stubble and grass.

Campfires are still

permitted, but they must be kept under a half-metre by halfmetre in size and the usual precautions must be taken (have at least eight litres of water and a tool on hand, do not light in windy conditions never leave unattended, extinguish until cold to the touch).

The prohibition came into effect

at noon on April 15, 2013, and was put in place two weeks later than last season.

Despite the current weather that is relatively cool and wet, Environment Canada’s spring/summer outlook for the CaribooChilcotin shows abovenormal drought codes and anomalies, abovenormal temperatures,

below-normal snowpacks and below-normal precipitation.

As of April 28, the CFC/WMB has responded to 27 wildfires this season. Almost all of these fires have been the result of open burning, and thus could have been prevented.

The CFC/WMB is by far the busiest region in B.C.

training, and Business Watch, which now has over 130 members.

Dickson also reminded Council and the public that the RCMP Musical Ride will be in Williams Lake July 18 this year.

Supported by City of Williams Lake and CRD

North candidates; Liberal Coralee Oakes and Independent Bob Simpson (NDP Duncan Barnett had a previous commitment) and Cariboo Chilcotin candidates; Liberal Donna Barnett, NDP Charlie Wise and Independent Gary Young.

Candidates fielded questions ranging in everything from B.C. Hydro, health and services and New Prosperity to whether the candidates will open offices in Williams Lake.

A second all candidates forum was held at the same location in the evening and was host-

ed by the Council for Canadians.

Today (May 1) voters can hear what the candidates have to say at the Tourism Discovery Centre where the Chamber of Commerce will host an all-candidates meet and greet format forum from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.

On Thursday May 2 Premier Christy Clark will make a stop at the Tourism Discovery Centre.

for sexual and physical abuse, one of the worst.

Some of that history needs to be shared.”

Through shaky voice, some of that pain was relived last Friday by Chief Webstad.

“I’ve cried a lot the past week. It’s all come back to me like it was yesterday (so) I’m pretty raw right now,” she began, struggling to find her voice.

She recalled having to go to the residential school at the age of six.

Powerless to change that inevitability, her grandmother who was raising her took her to town to buy a new outfit.

Webstad said she remembers picking out a bright new orange t-shirt, only to have it striped off and taken when she arrived at the school.

“It was like I didn’t matter,” she said, adding that over time her grandmother also became

Phyllis Webstad cold and unaffectionate, detaching herself from Webstad following the separations.

“That experience set the stage for a lot of my life.”

At 12, Webstad said she became pregnant, and “at 13.8 years old” had her son.

Throughout her life she said she chose abusive, alcoholic partners and

sees how her life’s experiences have negatively impacted her son and her young grandson.

“My son is struggling because he had me for a mother,” a teary Webstad said of the multi-generational affects of the residential school experience.

Two other panel members, Grand Chief Edward John and Grand Chief Stewart Phillip, flanked Webstad at the conference and spoke of their experiences and their hopes for the future.

“The thing we have to understand in this country is we’re all in this together,” said Grand Chief Steward Phillip, who said he was a victim of “the sixties scoop,” a time in Canadian history where an unusually high number of aboriginal children were taken out of their homes and either

fostered or adopted into middle or upper class white families.

“Not having my language and drumming left an enormous hole in my heart and soul ... it was one of the cruelest policies and practices of government.”

Phillip said his father eventually found his son as a young adult working at a lumber mill in Quesnel and he was reunited with his family in the Okanagan.

He believes education surrounding those “dark times in Canadian history” is the key to better understanding the present challenges.

High suicide, alcoholism and incarceration rates, he said, is “the legacy of what’s happened to us as Indigenous people that we’re dealing with in our communities today, we’re essentially trying to pick up the pieces.”

School District 27 Professional Development Day sees teachers and district staff attend the beginning of the St. Joseph’s Mission Residential School Commemorative Project, which is aimed at promoting healing and understanding between cultures.

Grand Chief Edward John said the residential schools were “a small part of a bigger picture” in which the Canadian government tried to rid themselves of aboriginals.

“It was all part of the design to take our lands, our children, our language ... (and now) the languages are struggling, our families are struggling and we need support to get better. We need help,” John said.

Chief Robbins, the man behind the movement, hopes non-First Nations communities will better understood where his people are coming from.

“My grandmother remembers a cattle truck coming to get all the children and take them to the Mission. Can you imagine what those communities were like without children,” he said, adding he suspects 90 per cent of the area’s First Nations were negatively impacted by the Mission school.

“Parents lost the skills to be parents.”

Chief Phillip added he would like to see “that abysmal relationship that exists” between First Nations and nonFirst Nations move forward into one restored “from the magic and energy of healing.”

The Planning Committee for the St. Joseph’s Mission Residential School Commemoration Project announced a series of events and initiatives in the coming days and weeks to commemorate and create awareness and recognition of the residential school experience in the Cariboo. The project aims to encourage, support and engage in a shared First Nations and non-First Nations dialogue on how to achieve reconciliation in the Cariboo region.

Over the River and through the Woods

Play opens tonight Robyn Chambers Cariboo Advisor The Williams Lake Studio Theatre hopes for a full house when their final production of the season hits the stage this week.

The theatre troupe will perform the comedy/drama, Over the River and Through the Woods, written by Joe DiPietro.

DiPietro’s work is no stranger to local audiences; the group brought one of his more famous pieces to the stage, I Love You. You’re Perfect. Now Change., three years ago.

Show director Tony Savile chose this play because it was “funny but touching.”

Over the River and Through the Woods fea-

tures six actors and is set in New Jersey. It centres on an Italian-American family threatened by the impending breakup of their extended family unit. The parents have already departed to Florida to live out their retirement years.

The granddaughter has moved to San Diego and now grandson, Nick, who has spent every Sunday since childhood having dinner with his grandparents, has been offered a dream job in Seattle.

In desperation Nick’s grandparents hatch a plan – complete with a gorgeous singleton as bait – to convince him to stay.

Generational differences abound as the grandparents can not

comprehend the motivations of youth and vice versa.

“As he (Nick) puts it they live by the three Fs – faith, family and food,” says Savile.

The play will be taken to the zone festival competition in May and could win a spot at the Mainstage theatre production in Kamloops in July.

Tickets will be available for Over the River and Through the Woods at About Face Photography and The Open Book. The production runs May 1 to 4 and 8 to 11 at Glendale Elementary School. For more information contact About Face or Open Book or visit www.wlstudiotheatre.com.

Honour’s concert Saturday The Cariboo Festival will be wrapping up this weekend with its annual Honour's Performances.

The concert will highlight the best of the best, with about 35 performances by award winners and provincial representatives expected to take place in the fields of band

and instrumental, speech arts, piano and vocal.

The concert gets underway at 7 p.m. at the Cariboo Bethel Church.

Admission is by donation with partial proceeds going toward cancer charities.

Everyone is welcome to attend.

CHANGE FOR THE BETTER in the CARIBOO

Robyn Chambers Cariboo Advisor The Guru Nanak Temple was awash in colour and festivities this past weekend as local Sikhs celebrated Vaisakhi.

Vaisakhi is “significant” explains Gurbux Saini, temple president.

It honours the Tenth Guru Gobind Singh’s baptism of the Five Sikhs (Beloved Ones) and also marks the harvest season.

Singh anointed the Sikhs, says Saini, to instil the ideals of compassion, equality and respect in society.

“He wanted to create a community that was compassionate; a community that recognized

that everybody is born equal and everyone should have the freedom of religion whether you are Sikh, Muslin, Christian or Hindu. We need to tolerate each other,” Saini says.

Vaisakhi is the largest celebration held at the local temple. It includes the complete recitation of the Sikh holy book – Guru Granth Sahib Gee – feasts, flag raising, hymn singing and awarding of the siropa – the highest honour given in Sikh faith – to members of the community.

Saini says the Sikh population in the community has fluctuated through the years.

Reconciling with the past for the sake of the future Area First Nations communities still hurting from the residential school experience have extended an olive branch out to the “white” community last week -- let’s hope we all have the courage and kindness to take it.

The St. Joseph’s Mission Residential School Commemorative Project was the vision of Chief Fred Robbins, but it certainty wasn’t his first goal in life.

As a young adult Robbins set out to become a heavy duty mechanic. That seemingly simple task ended up being the catalyst for his political career when racism prevented him from getting an apprenticeship.

“Because of the colour of my skin, no one would even interview me. I felt really discriminated against and I wanted to change that.”

Instead of becoming bitter, Robbins said he set out to end the stereotypical thinking of a lot of non-First Nations people and began his career in politics, becoming the youngest councillor ever at his community of Esk’etemc.

Since then Robbins has served as a councillor and chief and is now venturing into the spotlight as the man behind the Mission Project.

The soul purpose of this project is to help First Nations heal the hurts brought upon them by the residential

school system. Part of that healing includes a request for the nonFirst Nations communities to listen and acknowledge those hurts and to move forward together.

The public will be given many opportunities over the coming weeks to hear those stories firsthand and the time certainly seems right for change.

This movement would not have been possible without the support of our more progressive nonaboriginal community leaders who have welcomed it with open arms such as Mayor Kerry Cook, School District 27 trustees, superintendent Mark Thiessen and CRD chair Al Richmond.

Thiessen said Chief

Robbins taught him “a lot about what happened in my own backyard” while the two men were carpooling to an out-of-town soccer game years before.

Thiessen called the experience a human tragedy and urged teachers and leaders attending a conference on the subject last week to embrace Robbin’s vision that we are all neighbours.

He warned that our school district will not move forward if we don’t.

So please, use this time and opportunity to reach out to one another. There certainly are a lot of people on both sides of the fence who could benefit from some truth and reconciliation.

Cherry in hot water Hockey commentator Don Cherry found himself the topic of conversation yet again after the controversial broadcaster made comments that female reporters have no place in the locker room Saturday on his Coach’s Corner segment.

Cherry voiced his opinion while discussing Chicago Blackhawks defenceman

Duncan Keith, who gave what some considered a sexist postgame putdown to a female radio reporter in Vancouver.

Keith has since apologized, but Cherry said he didn’t believe the female reporter should have been allowed in the dressing room in the first place.

Cherry’s boss, the CBC, responded to the controversy by

saying Don Cherry doesn’t speak for the CBC, that his opinions are his own.

Cherry’s sidekick Ron MacLean disagreed with him, as did about half the nation. The other half though, agreed.

One thing is for certain, Cherry isn’t afraid to give his opinion and there’s nothing wrong with that.

How to Avoid Being Your Own Terrorist Along with a few other intrusions, a recent birthday forced me to consider something I would rather avoid. But I couldn’t get away from it. The topic of longevity stalked me like a terrorist.

First, there was my uncle’s friend - at 106 she still drives to visit the residents of the ‘old’ folks home.

Then, there was a patient I had in 1972 who was born in 1865, at the end of the US Civil War. But yesterday’s email topped it off - the Forks Over

Living out Loud with Rita Corbett Knives e-zine opened to a face I knew - that of my 98-year-old former boss!

It was Dr. Ellsworth Wareham, the cardiac surgeon himself!

Funny - I thought he was old 40 years ago!

But reading on, I found he had recently retired (at age 94) to climb on his roof, build fences and prune trees! Like all ‘oldies,’ he always had his own formula for long life, and had proclaimed those witticisms in the operating room many years ago.

While I monitored the patient’s vital signs, he scooped cholesterol plugs out of arteries, sewed leg-vein bypasses onto quivering hearts, and spouted health quips. His favourites?

“I never eat an egg that

can look me in the face.” And, “I refuse to commit suicide with a fork.”

Without looking elsewhere, we have our own terrors - heart disease, stroke, diabetes, cancer and other predators. But we are certainly not helpless.

While bombers prey on the unknowing, we aren’t defenseless when it comes to health. And if we choose to improve our health, it is the productive middle years that are lengthened 10 years or more, not the declining ones.

Exact information

changes, but major trends have been consistent for quite some time. This quote arrived the day of Boston Marathon Bombing: “ . . . people who consume a “Western-type” diet, including a high intake of red and processed meats, whole dairy products, and fried foods, are more likely to die prematurely and to suffer from various chronic diseases including heart disease, stroke, cancer, and mental health disorders, compared with people who avoid such dietary patterns.”

(Physician’s Committee for Responsible Medicine) For decades we have chattered about food groups, pyramids, and ‘balance’ in nutrition.

But healthy trends are unmistakable, even in a cow town. In our attempts to avoid refined foods, have we forgotten that the nutrients in animal products originated in grains and greens?

Terrorists we are not, but are we innocent? Very few of us would intentionally take someone’s life.

But North American

health statistics reveal that perhaps 2/3 of us die too soon from self-inflicted, nutritionrelated disease. We are our own victims, and frankly, danger threatens us more from within than without.

With a little care we can postpone detonating the time bomb of ill health. Perhaps I will start with a garden - the activity, relaxation, and sunshine are bonuses, and fresh food can help protect me from those terrors I bring upon myself - with a fork.

Editor: We are in the midst of a Provincial Election.

Four years ago there was a lot of debate about the proposed Prosperity Mine at Fish Lake. Since then, the Federal Government in Ottawa rejected the mine's application. They said "NO" to Prosperity Mine. It did not meet environmental standards or address the aboriginal concerns.

Why is this, once again, an election issue? I don't understand. The Federal Government said "NO" to Prosperity Mine. There are a lot of issues that could be debated that are under the control of the Provincial Government. It is time to move on. I want to hear the candidates talk about issues such as unemployment, forestry, healthcare, education, tourism etc.

Get out and meet the candidates When I was a young pup and had settled into B.C. I heard a lot a about Bill Bennett Sr, then the Social Credit party head honcho and Premier of the Province. W.A.C. Bennett was certainly controversial (aren’t all politicians) ... on one occasion while on TV he labelled those who disagreed with his politics as “Bad British Columbians.�

Nobody seemed to like him, nobody seemed to like the party.

They called him wacky.

There was an election coming up ... Bennett from Kelowna looked like he was doomed.

Nobody like him or his politics. Even Flying Phil Gaglardi from Kamloops was thought to be amongst the losers. Election evening, surprise, many who had thought the foxy

boring in Wacky’s day and they are not dull during Christy Clark’s time in this power either. Our election seems to get more national coverage than most provinces. We do have some very outgoing and colourful individuals who have tried sucking on the political lollipop and created some interesting headlines in the media.

It is an interesting theatre, this political scene in B.C., especially close to Election Day. We have had some forums in the Cariboo Chilcotin and the Council of Canadians, Williams Lake Chapter, held a forum that was attended by less than fifty people. If you take the number of supporters for all sides that showed up, that doesn’t leave much room for

those who do not have a political allegiance and came just to hear the candidate and maybe get some questions answered.

I certainly hope that low turnout is not a harbinger of things to come on election day, another low turnout.

We need interest, we need people to get out an vote. Only you can do that!

The Williams Lake and District Chamber of Commerce All Candidates forum at the Tourism Discovery Centre tonight from 6-8, is a meet and greet format. This gives those in Cariboo Chilcotin and Cariboo North ridings an opportunity to come and press the flesh with the candidates.

The all candidate leaders forum broadcast provincially last night was an interesting affair and while I don’t think anybody really won, I did believe the night belonged to Christy Clark.

Just in time for Mother’s Day

Celebrating more than moms on Mother's Day Every spring individuals celebrate their mothers on Mother's Day. It has evolved from a day to honor mothers to one that recognizes all special women. Therefore, if there is a woman in one's life who isn't a biological mother -but special nonetheless -- Mother's Day can be a time to tell her how much she is appreciated.

There are many reasons a person may want to honor a woman that is not his or her mother. Perhaps the person's own mother has passed away or is not prominent in this indi-

one is especially close.

There may be a teacher or mentor that has touched the life of a person in a special way.

Although Mother's Day is built around giving thanks to Mom, it's certainly acceptable to thank women in addition to dear old Mom. Furthermore, one needn't wait until a specific day in May to honor a notable woman. This can be done all year long with certain gestures and sentiments.

For those who are celebrating all women on Mother's Day, here are some ways to set the day apart.

• Create a handmade card with personalized sentiments that reflect the unique relationship with this special woman. This can mean more than a prepurchased card that may not offer the right words.

• Find out her interests and spend a day doing entirely

what she wants to do.

It doesn't necessarily have to take place on Mother's Day. A trip to a museum or a day at the park -- whatever it may be -- can be a nice outing.

• Treat her to a special dinner. Ask about favorite foods and create a meal at home. If dining out is a must, choose a day other than Mother's Day to avoid the crowds and have intimate moments with just the two of you, especially if you are also honoring your own mother on Mother's Day. • Find something you both enjoy and then go and do that.

Maybe you met up due to a hobby or interest. Remember the first day you met and reminisce by heading to that place for a celebration.

• Have an extended family fiesta. Host a Mother's Day party at home and single out all the special women in attendance. Serve cocktails and enjoy the time spent together.

Mother's Day is a special time of the year to honor not only a person's mom but also any other notable woman in his or her life. The holiday can be customized any way a person sees fit.

A spectator’s guide to dog agility

Dr. Judy Bannerman runs her dog through an agility course. Starting on May 7, the Cariboo Kennel Club will be offering dog agility lessons again on Tuesdays at 7 p.m. at their training diamond at the Stampede Grounds. Anyone who is interested is invited to stop by.

Donna-Marie Cyr Each summer, the Cariboo Kennel Club practices fun agility on Tuesday nights at their Training Diamond in the Stampede grounds.

Dog Agility was first started at the Cruft’s Dog Show in England and was fashioned after the horses’ Steeple Chases. It migrated across the ocean and is now the most popular sport in North America – including hockey and baseball!

The Cariboo Kennel Club emphasizes the enjoyment of the sport for both the handler and the dog,

although there may be some competition, it is friendly and everyone keeps laughing.

Agility is a great form of exercise for both the dog and the human (you have to run to keep up with your dog). It is a stress free activity that strengthens the bond between you and your best friend, as well as instilling a few lessons.

Starting on May 7, the Cariboo Kennel Club will be offering agility lessons on Tuesdays at 7 p.m. at their training diamond at the Stampede Grounds. These classes

are open for anyone and their dog, as long as the dog is over one year of age and has basic obedience (comes when called). Bring a hungry dog, buckle collar and small, soft treats (for the dog).

The Cariboo Kennel Club also has ongoing classes open to the public: Puppy Kindergarten – Donna-Marie 3925531 Agility – DonnaMarie 392-5531 B e g i n n e r s ’ Obedience – Holly 392-2555 Rally Obedience – Daesha 392-5323

Bikers ride what they still can as they anxiously await the completion of a makeover at the Boitanio Bike Park. Work is expected to wrap up in time for the Peel Out bike festival on the May long weekend.

Bike park gets a makeover

Tyler Keep at work at the bike park.

The Boitanio Bike Park is in the throws of a major facelift.

Just a few years old, the popular park is undergoing a redesign which will make it the envy of any community -- with table tops, gaps, burms and several new lines.

“It’s going to be a different, more progressive park,” said park director and local biker Tyler Keep.

A logger by trade, Keep, 23, helped design the fresh look, and is also volunteering his time on the ground to make it happen.

From start to finish, the makeover will take almost three weeks (workers are about half way through now) and require the work of two excavators, one cat, a bobcat and a backhoe.

Made for each other.

Mark Savard, whose vision brought the park to life, said the update is part of the maintenance contract agreed upon by the City, who funded the upgrade.

Improve indoor lighting and mood Want to improve your mood, productivity and general wellbeing? Consider turning on a light.

The psychological effects of lighting have long been a subject of study. It has been documented that the intensity and quality of light can impact the psychological and physiological well-being of a person, affecting daily mood.

The Mayo Clinic says that a lack of adequate lighting can make people feel depressed.

That's because light deprivation can affect the production of the hormone melatonin, leading to physiological imbalances. An abundance of light can get bodily systems back in check and also may be an alternative therapy for common

emotional issues.

Lighting is such an important factor in mood that even stores and businesses study the impact certain lighting can have on people and their impression of a space.

In fact, lighting design is an art and a science.

Lighting designers must have an understanding of the visual quality users of a space need for their health, safety and enjoyment.

The Illuminating Engineering Society of North America lists the basic body of knowledge on lighting in the IESNA Handbook. It includes summaries of recommended practices based on research and consensus of successful lighting for specific applications. But individuals don't need an

extensive knowledge of lighting principles to improve their own

interior lighting situations. Instead, a cursory understanding of

what works can do the trick. Here are some things to consider.

• People are attracted to light. If lighting is necessary for safety, brighter illumination will guide the way.

• Brightness focuses personal attention on a particular object or area.

• To create a more pleasant atmosphere, use wall lighting instead of overhead lighting in a space.

• In public spaces or areas where individuals need to be alert, overhead lighting is the best option.

• Dim lighting is best for rooms in which relaxation is desired. That is why table lamps are often used with a shade to diffuse the light.

• Homes typically need a combination of

lighting sources. An overhead light paired with ambient light and task lighting can help most people get things done.

• According to light bulb manufacturer Sylvania, think in terms of layering light.

Light sources should be placed at different heights throughout a room to supply adequate illumination as well as visual interest.

• For those who want to boost mood, consider full-spectrum light bulbs that mimic the spectrum of outdoor light.

• Another easy remedy (during the day) is to simply let more outdoor light in. Keep blinds open wide, especially those that face west and south.

Bedrooms with windows facing the east

may help people rise with the sun. Skylights can help light shine indoors when the sun is directly overhead.

There are also sun tubes that help direct sunlight into rooms under an attic where traditional skylights cannot be installed.

Remember, bright light can energize a person, so it is important to wind down from a long day by dimming the lights and preparing for sleep in the evening.

Individuals often take light for granted and only realize something is off kilter when their homes are not adequately lit. There are different ways to remedy inadequate lighting situations.

Speaking with a lighting designer may help.

Managing difficult yard situations Many homeowners aim for a picture perfect lawn complete with rolling acres of soft, green grass. But Mother Nature may have other things in mind, providing homeowners with less-than-stellar growing conditions for their lawns, plants and other foliage. Frustration can mount when a yard is muddy, is especially shady or has soil that doesn't seem to grow a thing. In such instances, homeowners may have to go the extra mile to get the yard they desire.

Irrigation issues Improper drainage or lowlying areas in a yard may contribute to a muddy mess.

Soil that is inhospitable for grass also may end up causing muddy patches because the grass simply does not grow.

In some cases, remedying a muddy yard is easy and

inexpensive. Some homeowners find that tilling the soil and amending it with a fiber mulch helps to absorb extra water and make the conditions better for lawn seeds to sprout. This also helps to aerate compacted soil that can hinder grass growth. Adding soil fill also may help to level low-lying areas that can be puddling.

Some homeowners find that they need to do a little more work and spend some more money to fix irrigation issues. Installing a draining system or having the property sloped to draw water away can sometimes be done by a homeowner but is often best left to a professional. You may need to dig trenches, and the property may need to be regraded to make a difference.

There are thousands of species of ants all over the world. Ants live in many different climates but are notably active and most

abundant in warm temperatures. Chances are, at some point during the spring and summer, you will come in contact with ants in

Grass and other plants may not grow well with sandy or clay soil. Again, amending the soil is one way to remedy the problem.

Although it will take some work at the outset, amending the soil can improve conditions and reduce how much maintenance the lawn needs.

Digging down several inches and adding nutrient-rich filler soil will help create conditions that are better for growing. Those who are interested in planting vegetables could opt for raised garden beds above the challenging soil.

Shade Sometimes a yard is problematic because of the amount of sunshine it receives. Too much sunshine can scald certain grasses, while inadequate sunshine may result in bare patches where grass won't grow. If cost is no object,

removing or planting trees to establish better growing conditions could be an option.

However, today there are many grass blends that are tailored toward specific sunlight scenarios. Homeowners may find that low-light blends will grow better in shady areas.

For those who are finding no luck with grass blends, it may just be necessary to think creatively. Plant shadeloving plants, such as ferns or ground cover, where the grass won't take. Design the landscape so it looks intentional.

Flagstone and slate placed in certain areas also may mask temperamental growing areas.

There are different options for managing various situations in the yard that can make growing lawn or other plants challenging. If projects are difficult, it could be smart to call in a professional.

Pharaoh ants and thief ants are light-colored ants that are often mistaken for each other.

nests, which allow them to infest a property or home quite quickly. Because both of these types of ants can become pests, you

may need to hire a professional exterminator if the ants become a nuisance.

Gemini, sometimes you have to make some noise to be heard, which may seem out of character for you. If the cause is that important, you will do what is necessary.

Cancer, you can’t get enough of a certain thing, but you may need to pace yourself. Otherwise your interest may start to wane.

Last Week’s Answers

You may be feeling a bit under the weather this week, Virgo. It’s likely due to you pushing your schedule to the limits. Schedule some recovery time for yourself.

Hockey playoff nachos good enough for Lord Stanley himself Lord Stanley is hanging around many homes across North America these days!

The first round of the National Hockey league playoffs is just getting underway and there’s lots more to come. I don’t watch a lot of TV but when the hockey playoffs are on the tube I tend to spend more time as a couch potato.

My hockey watching becomes a lot less when the Detroit Red Wings exit the scene and the Canucks have also gone to golf clubs instead of hockey sticks.

I was a true blue Red Wings fan since I lived in the Prairies because my hero as a young pup, was Gordie Howe

who had just started playing for the Motor City team. I wore a Red Wings sweater in practice because our high school team could not afford them. I liked the show for Gordie Howe that the CBC had of his life playing hockey with his sons. If the Red Wings fail, I hope the Canucks can make a decent run at the cup.

When you have friends over for a hockey game, it’s nice to supply some snacks to help them through the arduous task of being a hockey fan and having to cheer vociferously. I suspect a person could loose a little weight with all that exercise, so a little snack can go along way...helps also to soak up some brewski liquid that makes everyone talk a little louder.

One of my favorites when watching hockey is to make up a batch of nachos. There are a number of ways to make this popular snack and I am passing along just one more nacho recipe...this one contains a little more meat

than normal dishes.

Stanley Cup naCho’S 8 ounces of lean Italian sausage 8 ounces of lean ground beef 4 cloves of garlic minced 2 tsp your favorite cajun seasoning or chili powder 2 tsp finely chopped Jalapeno peppers 1 tomato chopped 3 green onions chopped 2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro leaves 1 tbsp lime juice 1 bag of tortilla chops 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese Squeeze sausage from casings and put in a large pan, add the beef and saute over medium

Leo, there are things you need to say to a particular person in your life. But you do not know how to express your opinions in a way that’s easy to understand. Speak from the heart.

high heat, breaking up with a fork, until no longer pink. Drain off fat.

Add garlic and Cajun seasoning and saute until soften, about 3 minutes. Add Jalapeno pepper, tomato, onions, cilantro leaves and lime juice. Mix. Arrange half of chips in a single layer on a baking sheet.

Sprinkle with sauce mixture along with half of cheese and then put more mixture on top, add the rest of the chips and top with a little more cheese... bake at 350 degrees for 15 to 20 minutes.

Now, there’s a treat fit for a good hockey playoff hat trick.

Bye for now and Gooood Cooking

Libra, you need to rely on someone this week for a big project, but you don’t know who to choose. Make a list of your best prospects, and then you can narrow it down from there.

You can use a break from the daily grind, Scorpio. It might be time to plan a getaway. You may want to make this a solo trip so you can fully recharge.

The truth can sometimes hurt a bit, Sagittarius. But a dose of honesty this week provides the reality check you have been needing. Make some changes.

Capricorn, an event this week gets you fired up and excited. It could be the news you have been waiting to hear from work or from a significant other.

Aquarius, knowing when to keep quiet can be difficult, especially when you suspect something is off-kilter.

This week you will be put to the test.

Pisces, the week may begin somewhat aimlessly, but things will all come together by the middle of the week.
