New retail space approved for Prosperity Ridge At its regular meetin Dec. 20, City Council approved a Development Permit for Platform Properties for construction of a three-unit retail building at 700-1185 Prosperity Ridge.

The proposed commercial retail building will house three storefronts totaling 24,000 square feet and an additional 116 parking spaces. In October, the company began construction on a 10,000

square foot building expected to house six or seven tenants.

“This developer has applied for two development permits in the last few months alone, and there may be a third and even

fourth Platform building in the works for Prosperity Ridge,” says Mayor Kerry Cook.

“This is good news for the City, and shows the confidence developers have in our city and its economy.”

Be on the lookout for scams The Williams Lake RCMP are advising the public of a scam that is currently circulating through the community.

“Its not a new scam,” said Sgt. Rick Lebeuf.

“It’s been around for a long time.”

Sgt. Lebeuf said a local bank was hit with scram when just under $20,000 was deposited into an account with fraudulent documents and the bank didn’t catch it right away.

“Before the bank caught it, $17,000 was transferred to China, and $2,500 to the U.S.,” said Sgt. Lebeuf. “And now the person making the deposit is left to answer questions.’

Sgt. Lebeuf said in most cases individuals are being contacted by unknown source and are provided with a cheque to deposit into their personal bank accounts. They are then asked to transfer some of the money to another person, usually

over seas, on the promise that they will be reimbursed at a later date.

“People are getting investigated and most often they are victim’s themselves,” said Lebeuf.

“It sounds to good to be true- it probably is” The RCMP is also alerting the community that they have received counterfeit $5 bills from a local business and that the bill was of very high quality.

“We are urging local business to be cautious and spend time examining bills,” said Sgt. Lebeuf.

The RCMP has also been advised that counterfeit $100 notes have been used in Quesnel.

For more information on counterfeit notes please go to the Bank of Canada web site or to the Williams Lake RCMP detachment for retailers information if needed.

Gad-Z-Ukes is the name of the dropin ukulele group that holds jam sessions every Wednesday at 10 a.m. at the Central Cariboo Arts and Culture Society. The group started when Jean Wellburn and Elizabeth Cornett started discussing the idea of a singing group, and Wellburn said ‘What about ukuleles?’ and the rest is history.

Gad-Z-Ukes stands for Guys and Dolls Ukulele, and Cornett and her husband came up with the name. The group has no definitive leader, but is ultimately just a fun practice jam session between fellow ukulele players. “ No angst - that is the kind of theme of what we want to do,” says Wellburn. “We just want to sing and play and have fun.”

Though the group started out as strictly a fun drop-in jam session, they have been seen all around town sharing their fun, catchy ukulele playing with the

community.

The group has started doing casual performances around town over the last year or so at places such as the Farmers Market, out front of the Arts and Culture Centre (Old Fire Hall) during Stampede and more recently at the Medieval Market, Cowboy Christmas, and the Community Band and Friends concert.

“I think it’s great to share music with the public,” says Cornett.

“It shows people (ukulele) can be fun at any age, for anyone, at any ability.”

The group started with about six or seven people according to Wellburn, and she says they really wanted to tap into a resurgence of ukulele that was being felt all around the world that she herself picked up from her sister in Victoria.

“You feel happy after you’ve sung these songs for a couple of hours,” says Wellburn. “It makes us really happy to look up and see everybody is singing along.”

Ukes plays songs that are being passed down generation from generation – happy, easy to sing along to songs.

“We started with just a few simple songs, and it’s just grown from there,” says Cornett.

The group is always encouraging others to come join the jam sessions. Wellburn says there is no pressure to perform and even if you don’t think you are very musical to just get yourself a ukulele and come join them.

“We did a workshop before and about 35 people came. Mike Butterfield led the workshop and he is going to lead another one in the spring,” says Wellburn.

“Mike is mentoring us as we go along,” says Wellburn. “He is helping us immensely and it’s just wonderful to have him.”

Mounted Patrol: Eyes and ears for the RCMP

Courney Taylor Photo

Member of the Mounted patrol have logged over 500 hours this past year: Here are some of the regular patrollors and their horses. Left to right: Dayton Sullivan and his horse Midnight, Andy Sullivan and his horse Cajun, Kathy Lovell and her horse Indy, Zora Vignjevic, and Sherry Rennie and her horse Calvin on the end. Missing were Donna Marie Cyr and Jennifer Winjes.

Courtney Taylor Cariboo Advisor Any good idea has to start with someone somewhere and for the Williams Lake volunteer mounted patrol that place was the trail rider stall and the person was Dave Dickson.

“I saw two ladies riding down the street on their horses and thought ‘Wow, these ladies should be doing patrol,” says Dickson who is the Safer Community Coordinator at the Williams Lake RCMP detachment.

Dickson figured

since Williams Lake had citizens on patrol it made sense since we are in cowboy country to have a mounted patrol.

“Dave has been a big part- and without his support and the RCMP’s support it wouldn’t have worked,” said Andy Sullivan who leads the patrol.

There are currently about seven riders who are lead by Sullivan, him along with the other riders patrol the streets, parks, and back roads of the lakecity and surrounding area.

The riders patrol on

their own time as well as take part in different events such as parades, runs, and of course the Stampede.

“We are the eyes and ears for the community – we are not to get involved,” says Sherry Rennie who has been riding with the patrol since it began in June of 2010.

The way the mounted patrol works is if they see something suspicious, or wrong going on out on their patrols, they call a number that is directly linked to the RCMP detachment.

They then just wait

in December, inclusive of News Years evening.

Their hours of service are from 9:00 p.m. to

3:00 a.m. The client must have their vehicle when they call for the use of the service. To

easily be spooked,” says Sullivan. “There is an assessment of the horse and how well they handle the horse.”

Sullivan and Dickson both agree that the mounted patrol program has been well received by the public, and there has been little negative feedback from the community.

“We do fertilize where we go,” says Vignjevic. “And not everyone loves that.”

According to Sullivan, the Mounted Patrol has logged over 500 hours of patrol since Jan. 1st 2011, and hope to keep it up going forward into the new year.

Small goals can lead to great results As December 31, 2011 draws near, most of us can’t help but think about the last year: the good and the bad. As we get older, it seems the time just goes by faster and faster. When we were in school it seemed that it took forever for the end of the school year to come or for Christmas morning to come so we could open all our wonderful gifts. Now it seems Christmas sneaks us on us all too quickly, and just as quickly it’s all behind us and we start fresh on the new year that is before us.

A lot of us will decide 2012 will be the year of big changes in the form of new year’s reso-

lutions we may or may not keep (most likely the latter for most of us). Or some of us may just ignore the new year all together and keep on with life like nothing has changed, and really that is the case.

Jan. 1 is just another day on the calendar.

Time is a tricky thing, it always seems to go by too quickly when we wish it would just slow down. And we want time to speed right by; it seems to grind to halt.

So how about those new year resolutions?

I for one, as with years gone past, will not be making any resolutions. I have found in the past when I make

resolutions it’s only weeks into the new year that I am back doing the same bad habits or have fallen off the wagon on route to the ultimate goal of my resolution.

Instead of making an unattainable resolution, I will just give myself goals to make: small ones that are easy to achieve, and increase the difficultly of my goals as the year progresses. Then maybe by Dec. 2012 I will have made to my ultimate goal for the year.

I am sure the year will fly by, and once again I will be faced with the end of the year and a new year beginning. With the

new year, I will be faced once again with the task of deciding how I want the year to go for myself.

It’s always good to start small, and that is advice I pass on. When faced with what seems to be an unachievable goal it is often discouraging so we end up failing before we have even begun. Which is why I think small, realistic goals are the way to go with new year’s resolutions or heck don’t make any – it’s totally up to you. Resolutions or not, 2012 is coming and with it a whole new year of your life full of ups, downs, and lots of stuff in between.

Happy New Years!

Looking forward to Prosperity?

Just last week, City council approved yet another retail building for Prosperity Ridge, which for the most part will be met with mixed feelings from people in town.

Some will see it as part of the economic growth of the City that

needs to happen, and others will see it has a negative to the development of local businesses and the downtown core.

As of right now, there is currently a 10,000plus square foot retail space being built across from Walmart, the spe-

cifics of which retail businesses is still under wraps but there are plenty of rumours swirling around town.

This newest building that has been approved will be 24,000 square feet with three storefronts.

This new building will surely start a whole new

set of rumours in town.

As much as the City moves forward on developing Prosperity Ridge, the downtown core cannot be forgotten.

Hopefully with a bit of luck, both Prosperity Ridge and the downtown core will both flourish in 2012.

A tale of a country Christmas gone past Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house, not a creature was stirring except for my spouse, who stayed up late making sure everything was under control. The stockings were hung by the chimney with care, covered with soot and puppy dog hair, in the hope that Saint Carmen soon would be there. (I hope Clement Moore doesn’t sue me.)

Up on the roof there raised such a clatter, as the string of lights I had put up, came down on the ladder.

And I decided not to spring from my bed to see what was the matter, for I am sure Santa could find his way now with all these

GPS devices out there.

With Christmas now behind us, we look forward to the new year and how to play it the next time around. For instance, I am going to hire a professional wrapper. Carmen gave me the job of wrapping our presents this year as she was busy decorating the house

to within an inch of its life. The only place she missed was the inside of the fireplace.

While the presents still looked like they were all wrapped by a dysfunctional adult, I pride myself that I did managed to use less than 30 rolls of scotch tape this year.

Our 70 Mile community supper, an annual event, was well put out with a fine turkey dinner and loads of homemade pastries, (Okay I admit, I smuggled some mince tarts home in my pocket.) There were singalong carols and some of the local kids put on a Christmas pageant, their handmade costumes made from fabric scrounged at the

Seventy Mile Access Center thrift shop.

They ended by singing Happy Birthday to Jesus. I am reminded that in the Cariboo past, people came to these festivities on horseback, real sheep were used on stage and a couple of reluctant cowboys were coerced into playing shepherds.

(Much to the butt of relentless jokes thereafter.)

The road was in terrible shape and took some risk getting there. It was not plowed, with a foot of snow covering a sheet of ice. One fellow said it was the worst driving he’d seen in 37 years.

To me however, full of the Christmas spirit, I loved driving through a

snowy Christmas card and marveling at the ice crystals sparkling in the headlights.

The big freeze caused us some consternation and I had trouble getting into our mailbox. The batteries in the lock deicer didn’t work and so I sprayed it with the liquid de-icer stuff but that wouldn’t work either. Then I gave it a much more generous squirt. Nope. Finally, I held a lighter up to the lock and thereby set fire to my gloves. I tried valiantly to blow them out but they were too well soaked with the de-icer. As I was jumping up and down flailing my flaming gloves in the wind, Carmen took the occa-

sion to roll down the car window and ask; “Just what the hell are you doing?” “Trying to warm up my hands”: I counter.

We had a great time this holiday, skiing, tobogganing, fishing through the ice and playing hockey on our rink on the lake. But the new Shelty pup I bought for Carmen kept stealing the puck.

Included in our festivities of course was a fine Christmas dinner with some of the local ranchers and cowboys sitting in and an evening of funny stories shared.

Taking down all the decorations afterwards tore me away from the fireplace channel, where I just wanted to sit and recuperate from

all the frivolity.

I remember once as a young boy, trudging through the snow with my mother, we delivered a Christmas basket to a widow and her three small children living in a cabin down the road. Her eyes shinning in gratitude threw new light on the meaning of Christmas and the wonder of this time of year, where to some degree, we all feel a little blessed and more open to loving others. So Dash Away, Dash Away, Dash Away All! Lets hope to God Mr. Claus doesn’t have a fall, (as my insurance doesn’t cover it.) And so goes the vision of Santa and his reindeer, kept in our hearts for yet another year.

Life must carry on and move forward‌ There is a prediction the world will come to an end next year.

Don’t sell any of your stock market shares just yet, I don’t think we are going to hell in a handbasket for some time.

That’s my only statement about the future.

Canadians can expect some downgrading in our finances because of the world market situation. However life must carry on, and ‘Move Forward... that’s what is happening in Williams Lake. City council approved a development permit for more storefront property on Prosperity Ridge by Platform Properties.

At its inaugural meeting Dec. 6, City Council proclaimed January 2, 2012 as Wrestling Day, a municipal holiday that is part of what makes Williams Lake unique.

Every year since 1978, City Council decides whether to proclaim the holiday the following January, and this year, again, residents will observe Wrestling Day in Williams Lake, the only

seldom ever wrong. So why wouldn’t another store try to build on that success of a Wal Mart and move close to them as they will generate traffic to the area.

Council is in a bit of a catch 22 situation, it wants to attract industry and stores into town and it wants to revitalize the downtown area.

Right now new business is not going downtown.

Quesnel and other communities throughout BC have had to grow despite having two distinct shopping areas.

For years in these

cities and towns their downtown was the centre of the universe, then that area would suffer when a shopping centre located out of the downtown core and more new business followed. Look at the stores that followed Wal Mart to Quesnel! For some time Downtown Quesnel didn’t look very frisky and vibrant.

Then changes took place slowly and with time their downtown, again became a good place to do business.

So now, most of the development in Williams Lake is happening away from the downtown area.

What does that mean for the centre of the community?

How will the Business Improvement Assoc help?

Right now the city needs some new business activity and they offer tax rewards to those who come into the centre area of town.

Council wants to have a vibrant downtown and a busy adjoining business area as well, however in Williams Lake, it appears now, that is not happening.

The business community really shifted when Canadian Tire moved to its present location, then in came Wal Mart, and now a second request for more business space in that area, in a few short months.

I understand we will shortly be hearing from the city regarding the

CITY OF WILLIAMS LAKE WINTER GARBAGE CART With winter here, the City of Williams Lake is reminding its residents of the importance of getting your garbage and recycling carts to the curb at 7:00 am on your collection day. Here are some friendly reminders to ensure your garbage collection service continues to be as smooth as possible.

• Winter snow and colder weather causes schedules to be delayed or need to be adjusted. These adjustments may cause your usual collection time to change from day to day. The only way to ensure your solid waste is collected on your day is to have your cart at the curb at 7:00am.

• Putting your cart on the curb the night before only increases the risk of vandalism during the night and interferes with snow removal equipment.

• Put your carts as close to the pavement as possible. If the cart is on top of a snow bank or other obstruction it cannot be picked up.

• Remove your cart from the curb the same day it was collected to ensure your empty carts do not interfere with snow removal equipment.

2011 CERTIFICATE OF MERIT

Williams Lake is the hometown of Rick Hansen, Carey Price, and many others who have achieved national or international recognition for their achievements, and the City of Williams Lake would like to recognize those individuals.

City Council is now accepting nominations for 2011 Certicate of Merit Awards to recognize any citizen of the City of Williams Lake or the fringe area of the city that has accomplished an achievement that brings national or international fame to the City of Williams Lake during 2011.

Their achievements will be recognized by City Council meeting in January 2012.

To nominate an individual, provide his or her name and a short resume of their contributions for council to consider.

Nominations can be dropped off at City Hall by Dec. 30, 2011. For more information, contact Cindy Bouchard, Manager of Legislative Services, at 250392-1773 or cbouchard@williamslake.ca.

A REMINDER TO ALL RESIDENTS

Please be courteous of snow and ice control staff in equipment on City streets this winter.

Please pass with caution or nd alternate routes if you see a plow in your path.

Please do not park on residential streets during snow removal operations.

It your responsibility to clear the sidewalk in front of your home or business or your parking lot.

Please do not push snow into the street.

Your cooperation will help ensure safe, efcient, snow removal in the City. If you have questions, please call Director of Municipal Services Kevin Goldfuss at 250-392-1783.

Dog Registration

Why should I license my dog, it never leaves the yard?

Dog owners like to believe that their dogs will never go missing. But the chances are that your dog will wander off at some point in its life.

All dogs over the age of 2 months in the City must be licensed for the current year. If your dog is not licensed you could receive a $50.00 ne.

Where do my dog license dollars go?

At two months of age all dogs must be licensed in the City of Williams Lake. Dogs’ licenses are their ticket home. Please ensure contact information with the City is up to date. It also lets other citizens know that a dog at large has a home and is not a stray. The money collected for dog licensing goes in to the Williams Lake BCSPCA and the Animal Control Bylaw Services.

Benets of a City of Williams Lake dog license: Reunites dogs with the owner Deliver public education programs Help neighbors resolve their animal related conicts Means your dog will spend less time in the shelter which reduces stress and minimizing the risk of contracting a disease Additional benets: Protection from dangerous dogs Educate dog owners about responsible ownership Warm shelter and care for the dogs Investigation of dog attacks As well licensing encourages population control.

Reduced licensing fees encourage owners to spay/ neuter their dogs.

Dog licensing is also a way for the City to get a better understanding of the number of dog owners throughout the city. With accurate information on the number of dogs residing in particular areas, the city may be able to plan and provide for various dog owner needs, such as municipal dog parks and spay/neuter initiatives.

Furthermore, licensing is a way to prove ownership of your dog. Unfortunately, dogs like any other property can be stolen. Licensing gives you a way to prove that your dog belongs to you. You can increase your chances of having your dog returned to you by providing your dog’s breed, sex and other identifying features (tattoos, microchips etc) when you license.

License Fees: Spayed or neutered dog $10.00 Unspayed or unneutered dog $20.00 Late application fee (after March 31st) $10.00 plus regular license fee Replacement license tag $5.00 Aggressive dog $200.00 If your dog is not currently correctly licensed and is impounded a $50.00 fee will be added to your total. (this is in addition to the licensing, impounding and boarding fees).

How often do I need to renew my license?

Once a year. Your dog’s license is valid for one year from January 1st to December 31st.

Licenses may be obtained at the following locations: City Hall 450 Mart Street Williams Lake 250-392-2311

LIKE ALL GOOD THINGS, RECYCLE YOUR RIDE MUST COME TO AN END. RECYCLE YOUR RIDE IS ON ALL ACROSS CANADA — ONLY UNTIL JANUARY 3RD AND ONLY AT YOUR FORD STORE.

Ford’s Recycle Your Ride program is a great incentive for consumers looking to save on their next vehicle while responsibly recycling their old one.

Since the program was first offered in 2009, Ford’s Recycle Your Ride program has retired more than 50,000 old vehicles.

And now, in an effort to recycle even more, the program has been expanded to include 2005-model-year-or-older vehicles. So even more people can receive between $500 and $3000* in incentives towards purchasing or leasing our smartest, safest and most fuel-efficient Ford vehicles — like the Focus, Fusion and F-150, and even the award-winning Fiesta and Edge.

Our goal is to replace as many older vehicles still on the road today with more fuel-efficient, lower-emission Ford cars, CUVs, SUVs and trucks. And you can help. If it’s time to recycle your ride, just visit any Ford Store across the country. But hurry, because Recycle Your Ride is only back for a limited time.

Courtney Taylor Cariboo Advisor The Cariboo Memorial Complex host a great range of activities for all skill levels and ages, giving a wide range of people the opportunity to stay active and there is a social aspect for the regulars who use the facilities.

Herb Nakada has been using the facilities at the complex on a regular basis since he retired seven years ago, and says he enjoys the company of the other regulars who frequent the weight room.

“I come everyday – seven days a week,” says Nakada. “I am really glad we have this complex here – I use it lots.”

While at the complex Nakada uses the weight room to stretch and to just generally keep active.

“I am an Elder – 72 years old,” says Nakada.

“I think it’s really important to stay fit and keep active.”

Nakada started using the complex on a regular basis after he retired seven years ago, and now spends a couple hours everyday at the pool using the weight room, sauna, steam room, and whirl pool.

“The pool has very nice features,” he says. ‘I never had time before I retired to exercise, but now I do.”

Nakada says he sees people in walkers and using canes and knows that is in his future, but he wants to put it off for as long as he can. He feels coming to the weight room everyday helps him to be more fit.

“I think the new design is a lot better, but the weight room is still small,” says Nakada. “But I stay healthier by coming here and that’s good.”

Another regular at the complex is Bev Hinton, who comes regularly for aqua fit classes.

“We have really good music, and it’s a great time,” she says.

Hinton has been coming twice a week to the pool since she moved to Williams Lake nine years ago, and before that she participated in aqua fit classes in Campbell River and Prince George.

Both Hinton and Nakada agree the complex is a great place to come to get some exercise.

There is different drop-in aqua fit classes through the week and the schedule can be found in the Active Living Guide as well as online at activewilliamslake. ca.

The weight room is open seven days a week 5:30 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. Monday to Thursday, 5:30 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. on Fridays, 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.

Book Now! for Valentine’s Dinner You’ll be glad you did!

Well here we are again just a few short days before Christmas! Hope you are all ready! Just to let you know the News Years Dance at the Community Hall, featuring The Little Horsefly Country Band, is completely sold out! The pubs New Years Dinner is a sell out as well! I met with a wonderful gentleman that was born and raised out here in Horsefly, he is also the 2nd oldest long term citizen out here. This man is Ernie Gruhs & I will say an amazing man he is. He married his lovely wife ,Chris in 1968, and they have 2 children, A daughter Rachael (who lives in Horsefly) & a son Jason (in Calgary). I wanted to find out about how the Horsefly Fire department was formed, and no one better to ask about this than Ernie. He told me that a man called Bill Szakas came out this way in the early 1980, he purchased the service station and had the Hardings running it. In and around 1992 Bill went to an auction out in Calgary, and purchased a Fire Truck. He donated it to the community of Horsefly. Another Friend of Bill and Ernie’s called Tom Bunn decided to organize a group of people to form a Fire Department. They had a few meetings with about 50 people showing up each time and that is how it all began. So our Horsefly Fire Department was formed in 1992 with approximately 16 volunteers, Tom Bunn was the fire chief and Ernie was a fireman, they had 2 hour practices every Tuesday (as they still do now). In 1993 Randy Baxter became Fire Chief and Tom was assistant chief. Randy worked for the road services out here and secured up a spot to practice, and a bay for the fire truck at a complex in the Village of Horsefly. After the first year the Fire department found out that the truck they had was only a tanker truck not a pumper truck. So they fund raised enough money to purchase another truck which met the specifications for fire regulations. The department continued to work hard to purchase there own property to have the equipment and fire department on. They secured the land thru BC building Corporation that the old forestry site used to have in 1996

The 2011 Department.

Horsefly

Fire

. They subdivided one property off and sold it, and sold one of the houses, and with continued fundraising they were able to completely pay for it. In 1996 they established one of the first Fire departments that had a first responder program, they trained 6 qualified people, And in 2004 we got 911. It takes so many volunteers to make this organization work, some of the past chiefs have been Ernie Gruhs, Paul O’Toole, Neil Sukert and Rachael Gruhs. The Fire Chief right now is Cecile Morhart. Tons of fire fighters ,first responders, fund raising people, and so many other people have worked so hard to keep this amazing department alive and thriving. We are an Independent Department out here in Horsefly and have chosen to be that way since 1992. There is no Regional District Funding for us ,it is all Volunteer based. We collect Fire levy’s from our residents, donations, and fund raise to support this team of amazing people, that help so many in our community. This way the Fire department is able to go to all areas of our community for first responder calls as well as fire calls. Ernie and Chris are also volunteers in so many of our other community organizations I would like to honour them as well as many others that spend tons of hours of there time devoting to our little community! And in saying that if you have a little time, don’t be shy ,donate a little of it, to a worthy cause in your community! Hope you all have a Happy New Year! All the Best! Cheers Dianna.

Q&A Ask an expert

Start the New Year clutter-free (NC)—Are your closets taking on a life of their own? Do you keep forgetting where you left your house keys? Has the pile of bills and mail on your kitchen table gotten to the point where it’s spilling over? If you are nodding your head right now, then clutter and chaos has crept into your home. Start the New Year on the right foot. It’s time to apply the ever-popular notion “out with the old and in with the new” to where it’s most needed: your home.

The thought of where to start may be overwhelming, so it’s best to take on a small project like your linen

closet or medicine cabinet.

If you have not yet been introduced to an electronic labeller, it’s time to get one. A labeller will be your best friend throughout the organizational process.

Go for a lightweight handheld model such as the PT-1090 from Brother, available at office supply stores or

online at brother.ca The Four Container Method If you apply this simple system to getting organized, you’ll save yourself lots of headaches. Get four boxes and label them as such: 1.

Trash—this should include items that you don’t need

and are not in good enough condition to sell or donate.

2. Donate/Sell— think about the use someone else might get out of your unwanted items by donating to a charitable organization or selling them at a garage sale. An electronic labeller can also be a handy way to price-tag everything.

3. Store—put items in here that you cannot part with but do not need on a regular basis.

Make an inventory of the items before you box them. Group similar items together and clearly label each box before you store it.

4.

Keep—this

should be your smallest category. These are items that you use on a regular basis. If the items in this box will not fit into your home without creating clutter, try to reassess if you really need them.

A good rule to follow is if you have not used or worn it in over two years, then you do not need it.

Pick Three Things

and Throw Them Out If you’re having a hard time letting go of items, here’s a tip for you. Start by picking three things. Starting off small will get you in the mood to clear out more space. Feels good, doesn’t it? You don’t need to stop at just three items. If you see more obvious candidates for the trash, get rid of them!

HOROSCOPE Your emotions have been pulled out of shape and you need to do a little backtracking. Don’t get involved in expensive entertainment that involves gambling. Your confidence will stabilize your position.

Difficulties at an emotional level may be likely. Your ideas may be a little ahead of their time; don’t push them, instead just continue working on development. Difficulties relating to children will be stressful.

Use discrimination and play hard to get. Opportunities for new romantic encounters will unfold through the social events you attend. Get involved in the activities of children. They will teach you far more than you expect.

Take the time to close deals that have been up in the air.

You can expect to have a passionate time if you go out with someone you are romantically interested in. Catch up on correspondence.

Last Week’s Answers

Peers may not be on your side. Get more involved in group efforts at work. You will find that unfinished projects at home will be most satisfying.

You will be relentless when it comes to getting yourself back into shape. Make a point of working on yourself. Be sure to find out all you can before you commit to anything.

Be sure to bless your taste buds 2011 was not a great year for me in the cooking department. I did not get involved in any cooking challenges from the professionals in the community and I never got the chance to cook at Elysia Resort on Quesnel Lake.

Maybe next year, Huh Harmony! This was just sort of a blah year from a cooking standpoint, I hope to change that next year.

Every person who is not afraid to be creative in the kitchen comes up with some feel good recipes once in a while.

I had one of those moments last summer when I had caught a fresh char and a few

rainbow trout. These were filleted and the fish patted dry. Now I was looking for Panko crumbs to use as a coating for the fish as I was going to do a fish and chip supper. No luck.

So as necessity is the motherhood of invention I decided I would take some ‘Just Right’ multi grain breakfast

cereal by Kellogg, roll it, to get a little extra crunch and spread over a cutting board. I dipped the fish in some flour, some beaten egg to coat, and then in about two inches of hot oil. It only takes a few minutes in the oil then onto some paper towel then put on plate next to some cut lemons with pepper and salt.

Two other folk ate the fish with this coating and were very surprised at the nice taste generated by a breakfast cereal. So this one is definitely a keeper and one of the few things for me that came out of my culinary creative endeavours for 2011

You have more energy than the rest of the people you live with anyway. New projects may lead you into a dead end. Do not travel unless absolutely necessary. Be careful.

that will go into my recipe book.

I am going to learn to cook more Thai dishes next year, along with Chinese and some new Australian recipes.

It’s too bad we cant get Kangaroo meat here because for the price it was pretty tasty when I cooked it in Aus. One thing I know for sure in 2012 I will pursue cooking with true passion as it is one hobby that helps sustains life and brings the world of taste into your mouth.

May your tastebuds never give up the excitement of ‘variety’, because then they will be truly blessed.

Remember also to laugh a lot, and be respectful to short people!

Happy New Year Folks, May it be one of Health and Happiness for you, as they are the Riches of Today.

Bye for now and Goood Cooking.

FOR SOMETHING SPECIAL?

Fax your classified ads to

250-398-5855

Rather than making a scene, communicate quietly about the way you feel. You can make life easier for an older member of your family. Don’t let friends or relatives rule your life.

Be honest with yourself before getting involved with someone who is likely to lead you on. You can expect the fur to fly on the home front. Travel will be favorable. You can gain knowledge from dealing with foreigners.

Don’t let your personal partner hold you back or slow you down. You might just as well let others do their own thing.

Take time to find out if anyone has a better suggestion before you make arrangements for the whole family.

You will have an inaccurate assessment of your status in society. You are apt to meet someone special on your journey.

You are best not to confront situations that deal with in-laws or relatives.

Expect to experience a sudden reversal of fortune. You may find acquaintances being deceptive. Be sure to find out all you can before you commit to anything.
