A trial against an RCMP officer accused of assaulting a First Nations teen is scheduled to get underway in Williams Lake Provincial Court next week. Const. Andy Yung has pled not guilty and will stand trail on one count of assault starting Monday in connection with an incident that took place while Yung was on duty and responding to a call for police assistance Sept. 10, 2011. The alleged victim in the case, then 17-year-old Jamie Haller, took the matter public, releasing a photo of her badly bruised face to media outlets after lodging a formal complaint. Neil MacKenzie, communication counsel with the Criminal Justice Branch, confirmed the trial is scheduled for five days beginning Monday, Jan. 24. “There’s not a lot I can say about it. It’s a matter before the courts and the trial is imminent,” said MacKenzie, who confirmed out-of-town Crown Counsel Lori Stevens of Prince George has taken the case. “She’s someone who doesn’t have any previous dealings with the officer involved or the witnesses. That is the practice we’re currently following ... (that there is) no perception that relationships influence the case.” Yung was charged in March following the recommendations of officers from the Abbotsford Police, who were brought in to conduct an independent investigation of the case. Yung was put on desk duty while awaiting the trial.

CRD goes back to the drawing table on fire protection Angie Mindus Cariboo Advisor Cariboo Regional District residents living in the Williams Lake Fringe Fire Protection Area are being asked back to the Gibraltar Room Thursday night to discuss their options on fire protection ... again. In 2012, CRD staff and directors spent the better part of a year discussing fire protection options, including a new contract with the City of Williams Lake. As many will recall, those meetings resulted in a referendum being conducted in November with the final result that CRD residents overwhelmingly agreed to a set

rate with the City for protection. But as the Dec. 31 deadline approached, the City reneged on their initial written offer that the CRD went to referendum on, and a conflict was born. In the last business days of the year, the CRD took the City to court, with the judge enforcing the written agreement for 120 days to give the parties time to hash it out. “I’m disappointed (in the City),” said CRD Chair Al Richmond yesterday. “But we need to work our way through this ... (this is) a hiccup in the relationship.” The CRD has invited its residents

to come to the information session this Thursday, Jan. 16 at the Gibraltar Room at 5:30 p.m. where staff and representatives will be on hand to talk about what happened with the City, and what the options are going forward. “It is a consulted process. We have to have a discussion with the public to see what they want to do,” said Richmond. “In the end it’s them who needs the fire protection.” Richmond said he wants the public to know that the CRD has a written agreement with the City on the amount agreed upon at the referendum.

Logging truck loses control Occupants involved in a potentially-deadly two-vehicle accident on Highway 97 Monday evening escaped without injury. According to Williams Lake RCMP, at approximately 6:25 p.m. Jan. 14, the Williams Lake RCMP responded to the accident which occurred near Mission Rd (proximity of Sugar Cane Reserve). Insp. Warren Brown said it is believed that a logging truck that was traveling north towards Williams Lake spun out of control causing the

truck to go into the north bound ditch. He said the two trailers that were being towed came to rest blocking both north bound lanes. “A pick up truck traveling south was subsequently struck by the rear trailer of the logging truck. Although severely damaged, the occupant in the pick up truck was not injured nor was the logging truck driver,” Brown said. The matter is still under investigation.

Phone scam attempt Williams Lake RCMP are cautioning the public of a telephone scam occurring in the lakecity. According to police, on January 14th, a man who fraudulently identified himself as a lawyer contacted a local family by telephone and requested several thousands of dollars to be wired to him via Western Union to cover legal fees for his representation of a family member. The family immediately became suspicious and reported the matter to the Williams Lake RCMP. Though the “Emergency Scam” (or sometimes referred to as the “Grandparent Scam”) has been around for years, the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre warns the public to be on alert after noting a marked increase in the number of complaints in the last two months. In the typical scenario, a grandpar-

Angie Mindus Cariboo Advisor It’s an exciting time for Williams Lake businesses as the Chamber of Commerce gears up for its annual Business Excellence Awards. As the name suggests, the awards recognize excellence in business as seen through the eyes of the judges and the business’ own customers who can nominate their favourites. From the community boost award, to outstanding customer service awards, accessibility awards to the coveted business of the year award, there is a category for everyone, and anticipation of who’s going to win this year is building.

Typically they claim being in a car accident, trouble returning from a foreign country or they need bail money. Victims don't verify the story until after the money has been sent as the caller specifically asks that they do not want other relatives to know what has happened by asking “Can you please help me? I'm in jail (or in the hospital / or in some type of financial need). But don't tell Dad. He would kill me if he found out, please send the money ASAP.

City asks for public cooperation Every winter, the City of Williams Lake makes prompt and efficient snow removal a priority. During the recent snowfalls, the City has had every available piece of equipment on the streets to clear snow from roads and sidewalks. Under the City’s Snow and Ice Control Policy, priority is given to the downtown core, where the objective is to have snow plowed, windrowed, and trucked away between 8 and 24 hours after a snow event. Within each of the City’s five snow removal zones, there are three areas with three different levels of priority. These roads will be the first to

be plowed and treated following a snow event. Residential areas will be plowed and windrowed for cleanup. This procedure will take approximately 24-96 hours to complete following the cleanup of the downtown core and will be done in conjunction with the solid waste collection route. Residents are asked to put garbage and recycling carts on the curb the morning of their collection day, not the night before, and to remove them from the curb as soon as possible following collection. Residents are also asked not to park cars overnight on City streets when there is snow. City Bylaws contain

provisions to tow vehicles that interfere with snow removal operations at the owner’s expense. Snow clearing of City sidewalks, parking lot stairs, walkways and public transit bus stops may be cleaned within 8 – 24 hours after a storm where the City receives 5 centimeters of snow or more. In cases of extreme snow events, City staff assigned to other duties will be assigned to assist in snow clearing operations. Property owners are required to clear sidewalks in front of their property, and are asked to refrain from pushing snow into the

Angie Mindus Cariboo Advisor Several churches in Williams Lake have been working together to extend a helping hand to men struggling with addictions and other obstacles that prevent them from becoming who they are meant to be. “Men, we get caught up on providing for our families, and the things that we think are urgent and lose sight of the important things in life like being a good father, husband and contributor in the community,” said Cariboo Bethel pas-

tor Jeremy Vogt. The first of its kind ever offered in Williams Lake, The Heart of a Warrior Conference is set to take place on Feb. 1 and 2 at the Gibraltar Room. Vogt said the conference came about after community leaders recognized that men in the community are suffering. “You like to think the church pews are full of perfect people but it's not true. We all have our battles.” The Heart of a Warrior Conference features international

leader Dr. Ted Roberts. “Dr. Roberts understands how to talk to men about purpose, change and victory in life because he has stared down countless battles in his own life. His story is especially compelling for men, who face the challenges of daily life as well as the inner battles every man confronts.” Raised in an abusive, alcoholic home, Vogt said Dr. Roberts found inner resilience in the midst of adversity. He became driven to succeed, graduating from college and becoming a top fighter pilot in the U.S. military during the Vietnam War. “The horrors of war stirred up deep wounds in Ted. He experienced intense battles with alcohol and especially sex addiction that persisted during and after Vietnam,” said Vogt. The Heart Of A Warrior Conference is scheduled to take place at the Gibraltar Room Friday, Feb. 1 from 5:30 to 9 p.m. (doors open at 5:00) and continues Saturday from 9 a.m. until noon. The cost is $25 at the door. Friday evening begins with a pizza dinner. If you have questions about the conference you can email dmc5@ telus.net or call 250267-7670. You can visit www. conquerseries.com to find out more about Dr. Roberts.

City awarded $20,000 for Senior’s Centre Angie Mindus Cariboo Advisor Williams Lake is receiving $20,000 in funding for seniors, thanks in part to a tight relationship between Cariboo Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett and Minister of State for Seniors Ralph Sultan coupled with a top notch grant proposal submitted by the City. Sultan was happy to present the cheque to Barnett, Mayor Kerry Cook, councillors and City staff last Wednesday over lunch at the Senior’s Activity Centre, giving much of the credit to Barnett, his office neighbour in Victoria. “Donna Barnett has been very instrumental

in focusing attention on the needs of seniors,” said Sultan. Additionally, the proposal outlining the need to revamp the Activity Centre’s kitchen and offer food safe handling and cooking courses for seniors, came in first out of 27 applications in the province. “We are really excited about all the components this great program is offering,” said Mayor Kerry Cook. Cook said the provincial government supports that seniors “age in place” and stay in their homes longer. She said this latest grant goes well with the Better at Home Program, which sees the City receive a $100,000

per year grant for three years to help seniors stay in their homes longer by offering assistance with day-to-day chores. Senior’s Activity Centre manager Glenda Winger said the extra funds are going to be put to good use, with $8,000 going directly toward new equipment like a new stove or stove top as well as cupboards. Some of the funds are also going to be used to put on free, food safe courses for seniors and classes in cooking safely. “It’s really going to improve the function of the kitchen and the ability for seniors to access healthy, nutritious meals,” Winger said. The Senior’s Activity Centre has a 475-plus

membership and growing, and serves 50-75 lunches daily.

The Centre offers lunch between 11:30 a.m. and 1 p.m.

Monday through Friday, with a limited lunch on Saturdays with bingo.

year ago I didn’t know what elder abuse was,” said Sultan. Sultan said elder abuse can take many forms but the most prevalent are physical, emotional and, ever increasingly, financial abuse. He said he has been taking complaints regarding elder abuse from those who work in the field of helping seniors. “They are shocked at what they see going on,”

said Sultan, adding he is pushing for the government to collect more evidence on the topic. “We need more data. I'd like some hard facts.” Cariboo Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett says she has also been hearing concerns about elder abuse from her constituents. “Elder abuse is real, it’s disturbing and very dangerous,” said Barnett. Barnett said she

believes we can start to address the problem by raising awareness. Barnett and Sultan both urge the public to pick up a free copy of the government book, “My Voice – Expressing my wishes for future health care treatment – Advanced Care Planning” The 52-page publication is a do it yourself kit that covers everything from documenting your beliefs, values

Sports fans rejoice! Sean Glanville Cariboo Advisor It’s a great weekend to be a sports fan. The National Hockey League returns and the National Football League has a couple very intriguing games as they are down to their final four teams. The Vancouver Canucks open their regular season at Rogers Arena Saturday night at 7 p.m. versus the Anaheim Mighty Ducks. On Sunday at 6 p.m. they host the visiting Edmonton Oilers in a much anticipated match-up. This will be fan's first taste of Canucks hockey since Jarrett Stoll’s game five overtime winner for the Los Angeles Kings eliminated Vancouver in the opening round of last year’s playoffs in April. In NFL action last week there were a number of incredible finishes, especially between the Seattle Seahawks and Atlanta Falcons. Seattle was down 27-7 in the third quarter before reeling off three unanswered touchdowns including the go ahead score with only 31 seconds remaining to take a 28-27 lead. A solid kick return and two quick plays put Atlanta in field goal range where their kicker nailed a

49-yarder for the victory. In was another nail-biter between the Baltimore Ravens and Denver Broncos. Baltimore scored a tying touchdown in the final minute of regulation to force overtime before stealing the victory with a double-overtime field goal. San Francisco 49ers rookie quarterback Colin Kaepernick turned in an incredible performance in Sunday’s 45-31 win over Green Bay. With only eight regular season starts under his belt, all he did in his debut was break Michael Vick’s playoff rushing record for a quarterback with 181 yards. He also passed for 263 yards and two more touchdowns joining only two other quarterbacks in history to rush and pass for two touchdowns in one game. I’ve been familiar with Kaepernick for some time now from his collegiate days with the Nevada Wolfpack. Being a big Boise State Broncos fan I remember back in 2010 when Kaepernick led Nevada to a 34–31 overtime victory against the previously undefeated Broncos. That win snapped Boise State’s 24 game win streak and

their shot at a national title. Nevada coach Chris Ault called that game “the most important win in program history.” An incredible athlete, Kaepernick was nominated for California all-state in football, baseball, and basketball. He received several baseball offers out of high school as a pitcher with a 92 mph fastball and was drafted by the Chicago Cubs. At 6’5” tall and 230 lbs, the 25-yearold Wisconsin native looks to be only getting better and it’s scary to think what he can accomplish. The 49ers take on the Falcons in the NFC Championship game at noon on Sunday. Most British Columbians cheer for the Seattle Seahawks due to their close proximity and will likely be cheering against Atlanta after eliminating them. In the AFC Championship game Tom Brady and the New England Patriots will take on the Baltimore Ravens at 3:30 p.m. in a rematch of last year’s AFC title match-up. Baltimore linebacker Ray Lewis, who revolutionized the position and is revered as the greatest defensive player in history, announced this will be

his final season. I’m sure the Ravens will want to send him out with a Super Bowl ring but the Patriots will have other plans. Last week Peyton Manning showed what a class act he is as he stuck around the stadium for an extra hour so he could congratulate Ray Lewis on the win. My predictions for this week are San Francisco winning 34-27 versus Atlanta despite playing in the unfriendly Georgia Dome confines. In the AFC title game I believe Ray Lewis and Baltimore’s Cinderella ride will continue and the Ravens will beat the Patriots on their home turf 24-20. Another gem for you sports fans will be a free UFC card Saturday night live from Sao Paulo, Brazil. The fights will be aired on Sportsnet with preliminary bouts at 5 p.m. and the main card at 7 p.m. The main event feature’s Britain’s Michael Bisping versus Brazil’s Vitor Belfort fighting in front of his home country. A Bisping victory would set him up for a Middleweight title fight with champion and pound-forpound number one fighter on the planet Anderson Silva.

Brynn Hansen, 4, plays with her Grandma "Nanny" Carol Johnson during a swim with Discovery Preschool yesterday at Cariboo Memorial Complex.

Cooking with Bob provides wife some comic relief “Dinner is off!” Carmen has announced. She has gone on strike. Can’t be for higher wages as I’m paying her nothing. No it has to do with her need for a break, time off from cooking and housekeeping. So I most graciously volunteered to cook dinner. She eyes me with some suspicion, wondering no doubt, what I was going to try to pull off. I decided to make my chili supremo but ran into some difficulty trying to do too

many things at once, not keeping an eye on the stove and wincing after setting fire to my lips with tobasco sauce. Carmen asked from the other room

how I was doing but I had a hard time talking. With much cursing and banging of pots coming from the kitchen, Carmen went into high alert, stuck her nose in and asked if I was contemplating Uncle Bob’s Reality show. Finally, after some serious effort on my part, the meal hit the table. It was in my opinion, a tour de force (force being the operative word here.) Although I had overheated my body and was starting to sweat and downing the chili added a nicely flushed

face. “Next time” said Carmen; “ask for some help, you could use it.” Apparently. Once I set the heat too high and the oil in the stir fry mix caught fire. A two foot flame headed toward the ceiling. I moved with alacrity, (not a chronic condition of mine), and grabbed a fire extinguisher blasting the dinner to oblivion. But it worked, it was out in two seconds flat. Mind you, it took me hours to clean up the mess, while Carmen casually remarked: “All you had to do was put a lid on it!”

Okay I admit I’m rather casual when it comes to cooking. The other day, Carmen asked me to keep an eye on the chicken in the oven as she was off to volunteer at SMAC. (Seventy Mile Access Center for those not aware of his local treasure). Finally she shut the oven off prior to leaving, figuring I’d forget. A good bet on her part. The dogs hang around the kitchen a lot when I’m cooking hoping to have some food fall on their heads. They are rarely disappointed. I can image

their little doggy brains working; If they can distract me by jumping up and showing undue affection, I’m likely to flip some tidbit on the floor. They know too, that if I make a mess of it, it turns into doggy dinner, a welcome departure from their usual fare. Cooking for me is a divine pleasure, not just for eating but to share with friends and to maintain a healthy diet. Hereto much will soon be made of living within one’s means and coming up with delicious meals that serve all these needs, while

on a budget. For me also, an unprepared meal is a creative challenge and to which, I always rise to the occasion. To cap all this off, I made jelly from red currents we grew, only to put in a dark brown sugar instead of white so it now has a nice molasses flavour. Then when the instructions read; ‘bring to a quick boil’, I did, only to have it boil over on the stove top, staining everything within a five foot circle, red. “At least,” said Carmen, “as a cook, you provide some comic relief.”

the Cariboo Advisor Wednesday, January 16, 2013

Simpson says don't shoot the messenger Bob Simpson Cariboo North MLA This week British Columbians found out that our current Auditor General, John Doyle, will not be reappointed. The problem is that only five MLAs, members of the Special Committee to Appoint an Auditor General, know why Doyle wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t re-appointed to a second term. The Auditor General plays a critically important role in our democracy. His office has the right to audit any government activity, Ministry, Crown Corporation, and, as we saw last year, the Legislature itself. Having an independent Auditor General lets the public know there is someone watching the governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s finances and claims about the

merits of its programs and services.From the start of his first sixyear term, Doyle has done an outstanding job. His very first report, which reviewed the release of private lands from Tree Farm Licenses, proved he was not going to mince his words. So much so, in fact, that then-Forests Minister Pat Bell said the Government was â&#x20AC;&#x153;offendedâ&#x20AC;? by the report. Doyle was correct in his assessment of the governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s actions, and his scathing reviews of BC Hydro, oil and gas activity in the Peace, the sorry state of our forest inventory, and the under-reporting of BCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s deficit and debt were also on point. If protecting the public interest were the only criteria for

re-appointment, then it should have been a slam-dunk, but reappointment requires unanimous agreement between the Liberal and NDP MLAs on the Committee. The NDP claim they want to see Doyle re-appointed, suggesting one or more of the Liberal MLAs vetoed that decision. The problem with all of this is that whoever decided against reappointment isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t publicly accountable for their actions: their vote isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t recorded publicly, and they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to give any public explanation for their decision. This is wrong, and it must be fixed. At the very least, the vote to not re-appoint an Auditor General must be made public so we know how MLAs on the Committee voted.

An even better solution would be to require the Committee to publicize the rationale for its reappointment decisions. Leaving it open to speculation is patently unfair to Mr. Doyle, who has been an outstanding public servant and protector of the public interest.

In the coming weeks, a series of reports will be released from the Auditor Generalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office on such things as the Pacific Carbon Trust, the justice system, and the governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decision to cover the legal costs of Basi and Virkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s defense during the BC Rail trial.

The City of course has a well trained fire department with a sparkling new facility and has the experience to carry on with the service for the Regional District. So is it worth it for CRD taxpayers to spend a lot of time putting together a trained department

Residents can help with snow clearing operations Every winter, the City of Williams Lake makes prompt and efficient snow removal a priority. During the recent snowfalls, the City has had every available piece of equipment on the streets to clear snow from roads and sidewalks. Under the Cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Snow and Ice Control Policy, priority is given to the downtown core, where the objective is to have snow plowed, windrowed, and

along with the equipment needed when this is already available in town. There is a lot to consider for those residents of the Williams Lake Fringe Fire Protection area and as this may be the only meeting where they will have an opportunity to make their voice heard, I suspect the old Gibraltar room will be rocking tomorrow night. The CRD has told the City they will be canceling Joint committee meetings for the foreseeable future so they can spend more time trying to resolve the fringe fire protection issue. Area F Director Joan Sorley

has stated this is not a retaliatory move by the CRD because of the Referendum issue with the City. As I stated in a previous column, it is time for the city to sit down and talk with the regional district. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t care whose fault it is that this mess has developed between the two local governments, lets get it resolved soon â&#x20AC;Ś around a table, and not in court. ... The NHL is slated to start soon and for those missing professional hockey they are now breathing a sigh of relief after the owners

trucked away between 8 and 24 hours after a snow event. Within each of the Cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s five snow removal zones, there are three areas with three different levels of priority. These roads will be the first to be plowed and treated following a snow event. Residential areas will be plowed and windrowed for cleanup. This

procedure will take approximately 24-96 hours to complete following the cleanup of the downtown core and will be done in conjunction with the solid waste collection route. Residents are asked to put garbage and recycling carts on the curb the morning of their collection day, not the night before,

and the players association decided to go for the shortened season. It should be interesting with a very shortened training camp... although I suspect most of the players are almost back in shape now because many of them have been playing in other leagues. The testosterone crowd who normally can't get to games will also welcome back the very colourful Don Cherry with his partner Ron MacLean on Hockey Night In Canada on Saturday evenings. TSN fans should also be happy the season is starting so they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to watch so many hockey re-runs.

City and CRD need to get back to the table

There are going to be a lot of people wanting to get a seat in the Gibraltar room tomorrow night to find out more about Williams Lake Fringe Fire Protection. This is your chance to let the Cariboo Regional District know what you the taxpayers are willing to pay for fire protection services in your area. CRD directors and staff want to know who should provide this fire protection. Should the City continue to provide services at an equitable rate or should the taxpayers take a look at building their own fire department?

and to remove them from the curb as soon as possible following collection. Residents are also asked not to park cars overnight on City streets when there is snow. City Bylaws contain provisions to tow vehicles that interfere with snow removal operations at the ownerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s expense. Snow clearing of

may be cleaned within 8 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 24 hours after a storm where the City receives 5 centimeters of snow or more. In cases of extreme snow events, City staff assigned to other duties will be assigned to assist in snow clearing operations. Property owners are required to clear sidewalks in front of their property, and are asked to refrain from pushing snow into the street, which creates a safety issue and slows down snow clearing operations.

Canadians cooling on RRSP contributions Submitted by H&R Block According to a 2012 poll by BMO after RRSP season, only four in 10 Canadians made an RRSP contribution in 2011. Lack of money to contribute was the number one reason for not contributing, but others cited economic uncertainty and not thinking RRSP contributions important. Taxpayers choosing not to take advantage could be missing out on an important tax shelter. RRSPs are designed to help people who are not fully covered by company pension plans to save for their retirement, and they offer two main tax advantages. First, all contributions to an RRSP are deductible from your taxable income and therefore decrease your tax liability. This means making an RRSP contribution can reduce the amount of personal income tax you have to pay each year. The second advantage resides in tax deferral. Investments held outside your RRSP are almost always subject to tax. For example, the interest you earn on Guaranteed Investment Certificates (GICs) is taxed as income the year it is

earned. Likewise, you face a capital gains tax on investments made in stocks and mutual funds. However, if the same investments are held inside your RRSP, they are allowed to compound tax-free until you begin making withdrawals. Assuming you wait until your retirement years to make withdrawals, your marginal tax rate will likely be lower then. You have until March 1, 2013, to make an RRSP contribution that can be deducted on your 2012 tax return. The extra 60 days can be very useful. If you find yourself facing a larger than expected tax bill after receiving your T4, you can still make an RRSP contribution to help offset the amount owing. The maximum amount you can contribute to your RRSP is limited to 18 per cent of your earned income for the previous year, up to an annual dollar limit. For 2012, the dollar limit has been increased to $22,970. However, the amount you can contribute will be reduced if you are a member of a pension plan at work. Your total RRSP deduction limit can be found on your annual Notice of Assessment.

If you don’t contribute your maximum amount, the unused portion will be added to your contribution limit for future years. You are also not required to claim your deduction in the same year you make the contribution. This may be beneficial if your income is going up, as you can claim the deduction when you are in a higher tax bracket. The government does allow you to over-contribute by up to $2,000 without penalty. However, the excess amount is not deductible from your income. You can withdraw funds from your RRSP at any time. However, unless you are transferring the funds to another tax deferred plan, you will have to include the withdrawal in income. The amount will also be subject to withholding tax at source. You will claim this as a credit when you file your tax return. However, the amount withheld will usually not be sufficient to cover the additional tax you will owe. Taxpayers who are approaching retirement age should probably maximize their Tax Free Savings Account (TFSA) contri-

butions before an RRSP. This is because TFSA withdrawals made after retirement will not be included in your income and will therefore not reduce your entitlement to credits and benefits such as the age amount. Once your turn 71, you can no longer contribute to your own retirement savings but you can still contribute to a spousal plan if you have some unused RRSP contribution room and your spouse or common-law partner is under the age limit. A tax professional at H&R Block can talk about other credits and deductions that may affect you. To find the office nearest you, visit www.hrblock.ca or call us at 1-800-561-2154.

The details behind tax benefits for children with disabilities

We know taxes

Submitted by H& R Block Children with disabilities are eligible for additional tax deductions and credits, depending on the severity of their condition. They can qualify for the Disability Tax Credit (DTC), even though they cannot use the credits themselves; the credits can be transferred to the parents.. The process is the same one used by adult claimants: a family doctor must complete a T2201 Disability Tax Credit Certificate for the Canada Revenue Agency. And the credit can be claimed retroactively if the child has had the condition for a number of years. There is a supplement for children under 18 at the end of the year. However, this may be reduced if child care or

Advertise your

attendant care expenses were claimed for the child. If your child does qualify for the DTC and is younger than 18, you may be eligible to also receive the Child Disability Benefit (CDB) that would be included in your monthly Canada Child Tax Benefit (CTTB) amount. This is meant to provide a little extra help to parents caring for children with physical or mental challenges. The CDB benefit amount depends on your household income and it is automatically calculated when you file your tax return. But remember, both parents need to file in order to receive the CCTB. Childcare expenses for children with disabilities also have different rules. Usually

a child has to be 16 or younger for childcare expenses to qualify, but there is no age limit if the child is dependent because he or she is disabled or infirm. Parents are also permitted a larger allowable amount for claiming childcare expenses. The standard maximum is $7,000 but children who qualify for the DTC have an upper limit of $10,000. For children with learning disabilities, you may be able to claim tutoring as a medical expense if a recognized medical practitioner provides a letter explaining the need for the sessions. Tutoring is included under the Children’s Arts Tax Credit qualifications but there is a limit on the amount that can be claimed. You may realize more tax savings by claiming tutoring as medical expenses, depending on your income. The Children’s Arts Tax Credit does allow parents to claim a little extra for children with

disabilities. If the child is younger than 18 and qualifies for the DTC, an additional $500 can be claimed, as long as the registration fee is at least $100 for the program. The same applies to the Children’s Fitness Tax Credit. Children with disabilities are eligible for an additional $500 for a qualifying physical program if the registration cost is at least $100. The reasoning for the extra credit is children with disabilities may require additional equipment or supplies to participate in a program. Recent tax changes have made the Registered Disability Savings Plan (RDSP) even more attractive. RDSPs were introduced in 2008 and can be opened if the beneficiary qualified for the DTC. And the Canada Disability Savings Grants (CDSGs) can really help the plan grow. For example, if your income is less than $83,000 and you contribute $1,500 a year to an RDSP, you

would receive $3,500 in CDSGs. Grants are paid until December 31st of the year the beneficiary turns 49, to a lifetime maximum of $70,000. For families earning less than $24,200, the government will pay $1,000 for a Canada Disability Saving Bond (CDSB) even if no one contributes to the plan. The lifetime maximum for CDSBs is $20,000.

Flyover authors visit lakecity library On Friday, Jan. 18 at 7 p.m., the Cariboo Regional District’s Williams Lake Branch Library will host an evening with local author Sage Birchwater and photographer Chris Harris. The event will focus on their most recent collaboration, Flyover : British Columbia's Cariboo Chilcotin Coast : an aviation legacy. The aviation history of the Cariboo Chilcotin is rich and colourful with float planes coming first, followed by wheeled planes and helicopters. Harris and Birchwater take you on an aerial journey, told visually through Harris' photos and Birchwater's story-telling to draw on the memories and experiences of both bush-pilot pioneers. The evening will include a slideshow presentation with commentary by Harris and Birchwater, and time for questions and answers. You can also expect to hear about upcoming works and projects.

Staying safe in the mountains Angie Mindus Cariboo Advisor Snowmobiling offers the kind of freedom in the mountains that many people can only dream of experiencing. And to make that time as enjoyable and as safe as possible, local avalanche expert Mark Savard says there are some simple rules to follow. “There’s just so much good information out there for the public to use,” said Savard, who spends just about every weekend of the winter in the backcountry safely. First off, Savard it is important to have the right safety gear in the mountains and know how to use it. Essential equip-

ment includes having on your person an avalanche transceiver, an avalanche probe, a shovel and an avalanche backpack, which inflates in an emergency, increasing survival rates to almost 100 per cent. When traveling in groups, which is usually the case for snowmobilers, Savard said you need to know and trust your team and be prepared for any emergencies. “Everyone should know how to perform a rescue and practice, practice, practice,” he said. “It’s more than just saving yourself. If you are prepared you could save others.” It is also important when it the backcountry to be aware of your

Whether you're in the mountains or on the trails, conditions are perfect for snowmobiling. Snowmobilers, like this one seen here Saturday morning, should carry a backpack on their person with all the necessary safety gear.

surroundings. According to Savard, a 38 degree slope is where slides are most likely to occur, and with the most force. “That seems to be

the magic number,” he said, noting weather is a huge factor in the conditions. “Things can change rapidly in the mountains so you really have to keep assessing the

danger.” And lastly, but more importantly, Savard said you always have to listen to that voice in your head that alerts you to unseen dangers. “Almost everybody

who gets hurt chooses to avoid the obvious.” For those who are interested in learning more about avalanche conditions, Savard suggests that backcountry enthusi-

Essential mountain gear

Tips for staying safe from the Canadian Avalanche Centre Essential gear is the equivalent of a PFD on a boat or a seat belt in a car – the basic stuff that everyone needs. Although you buy them separately, think of the Transceiver-Probe-Shovel as a single piece of gear – two out of three isn’t good enough. Every person needs all three parts. TRANSCEIVER Avalanche transceivers are small electronic devices worn by all members of a team. When traveling, everyone sends out a radio signal; in the event of an avalanche those not buried switch to search mode and follow the signal towards a buried person. Transceivers have changed dramatically over just the past few years and innovative developments continue to appear. Amongst three antennae digital transceivers, the fastest search

times are posted by people who PRACTICE. Practice is more important than brand! PROBE Transceivers get you close fast, a probe is how you actually find someone. Probes are like sectional tent poles that snap together. An assembled probe inserted in the snow in a systematic pattern lets you physically pinpoint someone under the snow so you don’t waste time digging. Probes vary in length, stiffness, and materials, which translate into differences in weight, durability, and cost. Generally, the smaller diameter the more they’ll bend and deflect. Carbon is light and strong (with a sufficient diameter) but more expensive. The locking mechanism and line are quite important: you want a reliable and durable mechanism and a

cable that doesn’t stretch (slack means wear, tear, and breaking).

AIRBAGS Avalanche airbags reduce the severity of the effects of being in an avalanche by reducing burial depth SHOVEL You think shoveling is straight- (or even preventing burial) and forward? Think again and check facilitating rapid localization. They out the V-Conveyor Strategy. Good shoveling technique can save you tens of minutes if you’re trying to get someone out of a 150cm deep hole! But you need the right tool – not all shovels are created equal! What makes a good shovel? Obviously lightweight, but you have to balance that with strength. It has to fit in your pack, but within reason bigger is better. Plastic isn’t good – plastic breaks in cold temperatures and hard avalanche debris! An extendable shaft is important. A flat top that provides a platform for stepping on is valuable when chopping blocks.

Five Williams Lake teams battled it out with two teams from Kamloops, two from Quesnel, one from Westside and another from the North Okanagan during the three-day tournament. Sunday morning the Red Wings won gold with a score of 6-3 against the Kamloops Eagles.

“The boys played really well,” said coach David Baye. “They're a very strong team.” Baye said first year goalie Mason Carrier put in an outstanding performance for the Red Wings.

Curves programs offer exercise, nutrition and coaching combo for success Angie Mindus Cariboo Advisor Anne Schonke laughs as she explains how she first got into the fitness business. “I was coming as a customer, but I liked it so much I bought the place!” Anne says of becoming the new owner of Curves in Williams Lake, a women-only fitness centre. Joking aside though, Anne said she was touched recently by the personal experience of her mother who stopped exercising regularly and wound up wheelchairbound at the age of 82.

“She stopped moving and lost her mobility, I don't want that to happen to me,” said Anne, pointing out the three big dangers for women – heart disease, diabetes and cancer – all risks which are better managed with regular exercise and a proper diet. “We have a lot of girls in our family and I want them to lead fit and healthy lives.” With her daughter Kirstyn by her side, the two have teamed up to offer a motivating atmosphere at Curves, a franchise which has

changed from a gym to a weight management centre, offering fitness, nutrition and coaching with its Curves Complete Program. “The whole idea behind it is to learn to eat properly in combination with regular exercise,” Anne said. “And the coaching is there to keep you on track. The accountability and support is a real motivator.” The Curves Complete Program offers women the chance to sign up for a three-month program for those wanting to

lose 20 pounds or less, or the six-month program for those wanting to lose more than twenty pounds. Anne said there are no sign up fees with the monthly program options of either $16.95 or $14.95 per week. With that, customers get unrestricted use of the circuit training gym as well as Zumba classes and full access to Curves' web-based interactive nutrition plan, where customers can keep track of their exercise regime and diet as well as learn tips on good nutrition

and download healthy recipes. Additionally, the inhouse coaching offered by Anne, Kirstyn and staff includes a monthly weigh in and measure. Anne said if custom-

ers are happy with their weight and simply looking to maintain their fitness, they can sign up as a fitness success member on a monthly or discounted yearly plan.

Anne said she looks forward to making her own health and fitness a priority in the years to come. “It's a journey, but we owe it to ourselves to keep fit.”

On Jan.5, several local army and sea cadets participated in the zone biathlon competition at the Otway Nordic Center in Prince George, B.C. Biathlon is a high endurance sport that combines two sports of cross country skiing and precision shooting. Cadets skied either a six kilometre or 7.9 km race depending on their age category; shooting a .22 anshutz rifle three times in between ski loops. For every shot missed, 40 seconds is added onto ski times for a final result. Results were as follows: Top Youth Male: Cadet Matthew Nendick

Thoughtstream compiles student voices Angie Mindus Cariboo Advisor As a decision on school closures and reconfigurations approaches, School District 27 has released detailed information on public opinions from its controversial months-long consultation process. Partnering with Thoughtstream, the district posted its Community Voice site last week where it stated its public engagement goals, and the

“voices” of students and parents. According to Thoughtstream Process Stats the public shared 4,474 thoughts on SD 27’s Initial Options Report - an ambitious plan for the district which would see five schools close and high schools reconfigured in the Central and South Cariboo. Trustees have said they are “not married to the plan,” and have been consulting with the public on the challenges and benefits of their proposal while putting several schools on notice for closure. In Williams Lake, trustees have proposed to closed Kwaleen Traditional Elementary, Wildwood Elementary and Glendale Elementary schools. Additionally, the plan calls for Columneetza and Williams Lake Senior Secondary high schools to be reconfigured into a two campus, one school model bump-

ing the more than 200 Grade 7 students to the 7 to 12 school. T h r o u g h Thoughtstream, the District asked students what they felt were the key challenges and benefits of the proposed plan and what they would do differently. According to Thoughtstream, north/west district students said their top three concerns were with transportation between campuses, peer pressure and drugs/alcohol exposure and that Grade 7s simply should not be in high school in the District’s current plan. Those concerns were followed closely by; the age gap between students in the proposed high school, not enough space or lockers, more fights and bullying, teachers losing jobs, no preparations for current Grade 6s to the changes, less sport competition with only one high school, more skipping school/

classes, loss of leadership opportunities for Grade 7s, time tables, no middle school option, less one-onone time with teachers and that moving schools can be hard for children. According to Thoughtstream, students felt the top three benefits of the proposed options would be more sports opportunities, more freedom and being with friends.

Trustees to make decision on Initial Options After months of worry and tense public meetings, School District 27 trustees are scheduled to give their decision on plans to reconfigure and close schools. Trustees were having their last public meeting last night before announcing their decision next Tuesday, Jan. 22 at an open board meeting. The board recently updated its Frequently Asked Questions link on the District website in order to provide more information as to why individual schools have been slated for possible closure. “While the Board has consistently cited this list of rationale in both the Initial Options Report and in public meetings over the last few months, it became apparent that it would be most transparent

to restate the rationale in writing on the website.” "The Board doesn't want there to be any confusion in the public as to why individual schools have been proposed for closure," says Will VanOsch, Chair of the Board of Education. The Board of Education is still welcoming feedback from the public until January 22nd. Members of the public can continue to write letters, submit e-mails or speak at the two upcoming public meetings. The Board met last night to continue to discuss possible school closures and reconfiguration. The Board is expected to make final decisions at the Public Board Meeting on Tuesday, January 22nd at 6:30pm at the School District Office in Williams Lake.

To place your non-profit event listing you are invited to email no later than Thursday for the following week’s edition of the Cariboo Advisor reporter@caribooadvisor.com

iN THEATRES bROKEN CiTY Ex-cop turned private investigator, Billy Taggart (Mark Wahlger), is hired by the Mayor of New York City, Nicholas Hostetler (Russell Crowe), to investigate his unfaithful wife, Cathleen (Catherine ZetaJones). Taggart takes the job, but when Paul Andrews (Kyle Chandler), the man Cathleen was involved with, with winds up murdered, he realizes he has gotten himself entangled in something much bigger and much more dangerous then the mayor previously claimed. However, Hostetler makes it clear that Taggart cannot quit, threatening to expose the private investilES miSERAblES In 19th-century France, when Jean Valjean (Hugh Jackman) is released from prison after serving 19 years for stealing a loaf of bread, he breaks parole to create a new life for himself, but has to evade the ruthless Inspector Javert (Russell Crowe), who’s determined to bring him to justice. Within the next eight years, Valjean creates a new identity and life for himself as a wealthy factory owner and the mayor of Montreuilsur-Mer. Fantine, one of the women who works for him, is a single mother who sends all her money to the people who care for her small daughter, Cosette. When the other workers find out she has an illegimate child, they demand her dismissal. Now on the street, Fantine turns to prostitution to make money to pay for Cosette. She’s arrested but Valjean steps in and takes her to a hospital. Maltreated and malnourished, Fantine is on her deathbed. When Valjean promises to find Cosette and care for her, their lives change forever. This is the motion-picture adaptation of the beloved global stage sensation, with libretto by Alain Boublil and lyrics by Herbert Kretzmer, based on Victor Hugo’s novel. Over the past 27 years, the stage version has been seen by more than 60 million people in 42 countries in 21 languages around the globe and is still breaking box-office records everywhere.

HOrOscOpe Aries, your domestic side will come out this week when you decide to play host or hostess to friends or family. You may reveal some surprising skills in the kitchen. It will take fast action for you to get something accomplished this week, Taurus. If you blink, the opportunity may pass you by, so get moving. You may need to reconsider your purchasing power, Gemini. Your finances may not be what they seem at this moment, and you could need to play things conservatively. Cancer, there are a few obstacles you will have to overcome before you can move on to something more enjoyable this week. Make the hard work a priority and the rest will follow.

Cariboo winter. I have been busy and have not had the opportunity to go ice fishing yet this winter, but I will certainly do that before spring, so getting a fish now was certainly a real treat. It only took me a few minutes to clean and cut this nice sized fish into filets ready for the pan.

First, I needed to put some garlic powder and a touch of salt on the skin side of the filet so it will crisp up during cooking. I leave the skin on as I think it gives more flavor to the meat. Skin side up, put some garlic, lemon zest, and drizzle lemon juice. A little salt and you’re ready to start frying, once you have put a couple of tbsp of butter and oil, mixed, into the pan that should be warmed and used on medium heat. I put a little dried dill in the pan along with the butter and oil. When just starting

Flexibility will be the key this week, Virgo. If you are able to bend, then you will be much more successful than if you are rigid in your opinions and actions. Libra, if you find you have been falling behind on things or simply cannot seem to get organized, then it’s time to reconsider your approach.

How to cook a freshly caught trout Much thanks to my friend Walter Box for giving me a nice fresh fish he caught through the ice. I was at home doing some work on the computer when a knock came at my door and not expecting anyone in the middle of the afternoon, I wondered who might be coming over for a visit. I expected it would be a visit, cause I don’t owe anyone money. Anyhow, there was my friend with a nice fish, wondering if I would like it...I do not think many people in their right culinary mind would say no to a fresh trout in the middle of a

Maintain the status quo this week, Leo. You may be tempted to do things differently, but going with the flow and not rocking the boat is the best approach this week.

Scorpio, when party planning is put into your hands, you are right in your element as a natural leader. You are bound to have all of the details perfect.

Someone could require a pep talk this week, and you are the person for the job, Sagittarius. Figure out ways to downplay any struggles and point out all that this person has accomplished. You may find a turnaround in your financial situation has finally arrived, Capricorn. Just don’t spend all of that newfound money in one place. Put some into an account for later.

to smoke, I put the fish in the pan skin side down. I fried the trout for a few minutes then turned the heat down for another three or four minutes. Fish done. I let it sit for a few minutes then plated it alongside some

rice and a large slice of tomato. I had a little more lemon to go over the warm fish. Thanks Walter. Try this simple way to cook fresh trout, right outta the ice. Yummers. Bye for now and Goood Cooking.

Aquarius, you may need someone to light a fire under you this week. Welcome this effort because once you get going you will be able to accomplish anything. Pisces, it may be a challenge to balance work and home life responsibilities this week. Aim for a 60/40 split of requirements.
