City staff volunteer to help out Indoor Rodeo

Angie Mindus photoIt's that time of year again when the hard workers of Interior Roads clean the highways that intersect the City, clearing the area of dust, dirt and rocks. Mother Nature is expected to help the crews along with some rain in the forecast for this week.

A number of City of Williams Lake employ-ees have volunteered their time to haul dirt into and out of the Cariboo Memorial Complex for the 23rd Annual Williams Lake Indoor Rodeo April 19-21.

The staff volun-teers, from the Streets and Parks Divisions of the City, will donate between 70-90 total man-hours to operate a loader and trucks to haul the dirt in and out of the arena. The work will be done outside of the volunteers’ sched-uled work shifts. City Municipal Services staff have volunteered to do

this work since 2007.“We are happy to

help out the commu-nity, and help make these important events happen,” says Matt Sutherland, Streets/Parks Division foreman at the City. “This is one way we can make a dif-ference for the commu-nity.”

At its March 19th meeting, Council resolved to fund up to 50 per cent of the cost of bringing soil in and out of the Indoor Rodeo for this year only, includ-ing equipment fuel and maintenance, in order to alleviate hardship on the Association due to the short notice before the

event.“The volunteer

hours and the City’s support are very much appreciated,” says Kelly Walls, Secretary of the Williams Lake Indoor

Rodeo Association. “We’re happy to have the help.”

“The Indoor Rodeo Association does an incredible job each year putting on a great week-

end of rodeo entertain-ment,” says Mayor Kerry Cook. “A huge thank you to our staff for vol-unteering yet again to help bring this popular event to Williams Lake.”

The Cariboo Regional District will be hosting an important meet-ing for fringe area residents this Thursday evening.

The open house, scheduled to take place at 5:30 p.m. at the Pioneer Complex, is for CRD residents to learn about and provide input into the proposed CRD Williams Lake Fringe Area Official Community Plan. On March 1, 2013, the Board of Directors gave the proposed docu-ment OCP two readings and it is now available for public consultation and consideration.

An Official Community Plan (OCP) is a statement of objectives and policies used to guide decisions on planning and land use manage-

ment within the area covered by the plan. The OCP serves as a founda-tion for all policies, regulations, and decisions pertaining to land use and development in the plan area.

The CRD said it is extremely important for residents to attend this session and have the opportunity to provide feedback and suggestions to the CRD’s Board of Directors before the Plan is adopted and forwarded to the Province for final consent.

For residents who are unable to attend this meeting, or for those interested in the OCP’s content, the Williams Lake Fringe Area Official Community Plan and its associated schedules, are posted on the CRD website at cariboord.bc.ca.

Youth rally against New ProsperityAngie MindusCariboo Advisor

Tsilhqot’in Nation chiefs are speak-ing out against one of their own former chiefs, who they say no longer represents the voice of their people.

Chief Russell Myers Ross of Yunesit’in says Ervin Charleyboy’s comments to CBC’s Daybreak program recently regarding New Prosperity has chiefs saying enough is enough.

“Ervin is no longer a legitimate spokesperson for the Tsilhqot’in Nation,” said Myers Ross.

“He (Charleyboy) ran in the previ-ous election supporting Taseko Mines and did not get re-elected. His opin-ions are not a reflection of our people.”

Charleyboy recently said he want-ed to host a youth forum for First Nations to voice their support for the controversial mine proposed to be located near Fish Lake, approximately 125 kilometres from Williams Lake.

Myers Ross said the situation prompted about 100 Tsilhqot’in youth to gather for a rally of their own March 27 in Williams Lake – against

New Prosperity.“The youth want to represent their

own vision for the future. The youth have said New Prosperity is not a vision or a value they endorse.”

Seventeen-year-old Micole Myers of Yunesit’in says she doesn't support the mine.

“I do not want the area turned into a mine.” said Myers, who was at the rally last week.

“I worry about the environmental impact it could have.”

Currently, the proposed mine is under an environmental review by the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency.

Time is not on their side as RCMP investiga-tors continue to search for clues into the sud-den disappearance of 61-year-old Gary Price.

A month has passed since Mr. Price vanished from the small commu-nity of Likely without a trace, and the absence of any explanation or evidence is pointing more and more to the only plausible conclu-sion -- that Mr. Price was met with foul play, say police.

“Everybody is con-

cerned,” says Staff Sgt. Ken Brissard of the investigation.

“We have no evi-dence and no reason to believe he’s walked away ... there’s just nothing to explain why he disap-

peared off the face of the earth and remains that way.”

In fact, all evidence leading to Mr. Price’s disappearance tells the story of a man quite content with his quiet life at remote Cariboo Lake.

Once a guide outfit-ter, and a man adept at surviving for large periods of time in the wilderness, Mr. Price was also a man who had great affection for his cat, said Brissard and lead investigator on the Price case, Const. Dan Hay.

“He was very fond of his cat. He loved his animals,” said Hay.

Hay said their inves-tigation revealed Mr. Price was last seen February 23 buying supplies at the general store in Likely.

And his truck was found a couple kilome-tres from Likely on the Keithly Creek Road, headed towards Cariboo Lake, parked on the side of the road.

Still inside the vehi-cle were Price’s grocer-ies, including food for his beloved cat, that he

had purchased at the store.

“We’re trying to determine what hap-pened to him after he left the store on the afternoon of Saturday, Feb. 23,” said Hay. “It appears he never returned home after that.”

The police are urging anyone who may recall anything regarding Mr. Price, particularly on Feb. 23 or 24, to con-tact police.

“Someone out there knows something,” said Brissard.

“I guarantee there are people who have infor-mation, maybe even something they don’t think is important. Sometimes the smallest piece of information is that last piece of the puzzle that we need. We truly, truly are asking for the public’s assistance.”

Police are also asking snowmobilers who were at Yank’s Peak on the weekend of February 23 or 24 to report whether or not they saw Mr. Price, who worked for the local snowmobile club collecting trail fees

on the weekends.“Everyone who knew

him said he was very polite and respectful, just a really nice guy,” said Brissard.

Const. Hay said Mr. Price does not have any children however his siblings and extended family are very worried about him, as are police.

“We suspect some-thing grave happened to him.”

Anyone with infor-mation on Mr. Price can contact Williams Lake RCMP at 250-392-6211 or Crimestoppers.

The Cariboo Fire Centre is asking the pub-lic to exercise caution with any outdoor burn-ing activities this spring.

As the snow melts, dried grass from last summer is uncovered and that material can be highly flammable. Almost all wildfires at this time of the year are caused by people and are therefore preventable.

Homeowners and industry personnel are encouraged to consult the BC FireSmart manu-al and take the following precautions:

Ensure that enough people, water and tools are on hand to control the fire and prevent it from escaping.

Do not burn dur-ing windy conditions. Weather conditions can change quickly and the wind may carry embers to other combustible material and start new fires.

Create a fireguard at least one metre around the planned fire site by clearing away twigs, grass, leaves and other combustible material.

If you are planning a

large burn, consider con-ducting smaller burns around the perimeter beforehand to create a fuel break and help stop the fire from spreading beyond its intended size. Each of these fires should be kept small and must be completely extin-guished before starting a new fire.

The Province thanks the public for its con-tinued help in prevent-ing wildfires. If you see flames or smoke, call 1 800 663-5555 toll-free or call *5555 on your cellphone.

Classrooms at Thompson Rivers University will be trans-formed into a fun-filled gaming arena on Sunday, April 7th from 1:00pm to 4:00pm, as participants compete against each other in the Wii Olympics. This is an all-ages family event.

The fundraising event is being organized by a group of three TRU human service students as part of a class proj-ect, in partnership with the Boys and Girls Club of Williams Lake and District. Funds raised at the event will support programs for youth in

our community.Participants age six

and up will be grouped into teams represent-ing different countries, with teams facing-off in a series of six Olympic-style Wii events, which will include various sports and dance games using Wii game con-soles. Children under the age of six are also welcome to come and hang-out at a non-com-petitive Wii station.

Snacks will be avail-able and there will be prizes up for grabs, including a grand prize draw for a Wii game console. Also, winning

teams will be award-ed medals during the ‘closing ceremonies’. Registration on the day of the event will be available, however par-ticipants are urged to pre-register by printing off a registration form from www.bgcwilliams-lake.com and dropping it off at the Boys and Girls Club (across from Safeway). The registra-tion fee is $10.00 per individual and $25.00 per family.

The Boys and Girls Club of Williams Lake and District is a leading provider of programs and services for chil-dren and youth. They believe in healthy physi-cal, educational, and social development for young people and their families in the commu-nity. The Club operates

over a dozen programs including the Sprockids mountain biking pro-gram, licensed after-school child care, a full-day licensed summer program, community outreach and education programs, outdoor base-ball, and a youth drop-in centre. Many of these programs are run at no-cost to the participants, and, as a policy, Boys and Girls Clubs will not turn away any child due to a family’s inability to pay.

Founder’s vision reflected in Salt JarRobyn ChambersCariboo Advisor

Life’s Salt Jar Warehouse is a labour of love for founder Sherry Cuthbertson.

The thrift store, on Oliver Street, opened in September but its genesis had been in the works for half a decade.

Cuthbertson recalls how when she and a friend were removing “truck loads” of items from the local share shed and sending them overseas they saw an unfulfilled niche. The warehouse, they hope, will fill that.

“I really wanted an affordable place for people from all walks of life to come in and shop and volunteer,” she says.

To that end, the store sells second-hand items donated by the community with all proceeds raised going to support community agencies who receive little funding.

“A lot of groups in our community fall through the cracks. They don’t qualify for any funding anywhere and maybe some

people who run them don’t have the time to fundraise for them but they are really worthy causes …so it’s always been our desire to have a thrift store that sup-ports those groups,” she says.

To date, the ware-house has supported two organizations – the Great Room and the local Alzheimer society.

Decisions as to which agencies receive support from the ware-house are left to the non-profit society’s five-member board. Agencies must apply to the board and can receive support for three to six months.

“We’re really look-ing for the people who are in need of support,” Cuthbertson says. “We look at what they do in our community. It has to be impacting our community in a posi-tive way.”

The warehouse also supports the commu-nity’s homeless by pro-viding warm weather wear and clothing for individuals who need assistance getting back on their feet.

Cuthbertson says no one at the organization takes a salary, although she hopes in the future the store will have a paid manager; volun-teers are relied upon to help keep the store operational. There are currently four volun-teers; 10 are needed. Cuthbertson currently serves as store manager and board president.

In the future, she envisions growth that includes the expan-sion of the store’s existing 2,100-square foot space to include a retail program where individuals can learn retail skills, a small repair program for refurbishing items, a sewing program and others.

However, she believes this can’t hap-pen without full com-munity support.

“The only way this organization will sur-vive is if we have 100 per cent support from the community,” she says.

“Our vision from the very beginning is this is for the com-munity. This is not my business, this is not my ministry; this is the community’s and it has to have the com-munity’s 100 per cent support.”

So far so good. Cuthbertson says peo-ple are happy to have another second-hand store in the commu-nity.

“They have stepped

up and they have gen-erously donated their goods and their time

and even money. I’m really impressed,” she says.

A couple of years ago somewhere south of town, an unusual something caught my eye. A doe was stand-ing in an open marsh, but she wasn’t mov-ing and her posture was odd. At first I thought she might be injured, but as the highway curved past where she stood, I noticed she was nurs-ing a fawn. Motoring closer, I saw the fawn suddenly disappear and the doe walk off into the trees. There’s not much new about that kind of story

around here.But in hopes of get-

ting a glimpse of the fawn, I crept to where I thought it had been and finally spotted the tiny spots of the most

diminutive fawn I have ever seen. Mrs. Bambi and I watched each other as I made my way back to the vehi-cle and nearly tripped over two more fawns! Triplets - a sight for the ages! And I have been looking for them ever since.

A year later, while driving the same stretch of road, I noticed three small bucks grazing in the ditch, standing together a quarter of a mile from my ini-tial sighting. And I wondered. Even in

my uncertainty, I was delighted!

Then last fall my breath caught in my throat. At the same spot lay the mangled carcass of a deer. Was it one of ‘mine’? ‘Mine’ - maybe that’s why I wonder if the deer have sufficient food for the cold winter days, and why I worry when the temperature drops. Somewhere along the way, the smallest bit of me invested in a fam-ily of deer and they have become part of my world.

People, from a dis-tance, look pretty odd at times. And they are so common we often dismiss them. What if getting closer revealed something more, a ser-endipitous bonus to enhance our lives for ages to come?

It only takes a moment to thank the lovely, hon-est Asian woman at Tim Horton’s, or to chat with the person behind us in the gro-cery store line. The returns can begin right away. A lifetime of enrichment awaits.

Real value hides in common places. It can be revealed in a pause, or when we move ourselves just one step closer. I still see those little bucks everywhere!

Of course, it can all go wrong. Vehicles strike deer. And someone we know may damage us with gossip, or take needed assistance and holi-day with the funds in Disneyland. But should we quit con-necting because there are dead deer by the road and persons who

make unwise deci-sions?

If we stop investing, it might not change much for the deer or the unwise. But, oh dear, it would make all the difference to us. Our lives would be vastly diminished if we shied away from connecting, if we devoted ourselves to just that - ourselves.

Your story of kis-met interests me, but perhaps I’ll hear it later, ‘cuz right now I’m going out to look for deer. [email protected].

Investing in connections with no guarantee

A family from Victoria have found themselves inadvertently taking a lead role in the fight for better mental health care services for children in B.C.

Yesterday, mother Kelly Bradley as well as other par-ents, were to meet with Health Minister Margaret MacDiarmid to discuss improvements to emer-gency care for children suffer-ing from mental illnesses and to deliver over 35,000 petition signatures.

MacDiarmid was to meet with the families face-to-face however had to stay in Vancouver, so the meeting with the parents was held via teleconference.

In January, Kelly and Owen Bradley turned to the Internet to

tell their very personal story and launch a petition for change, after their daughter was sent home from hospital three times while in the middle of a mental health crisis. The 11-year-old, who is living with bipolar disorder, was said to be harming herself and her family.

Since appealing to the public for support, the campaign has gathered more than 35,000 signa-tures and 3,000 comments from people reporting similar experi-ences.

Last month, when Interior Health officials came to Williams Lake, the CEO said only six per cent of Interior Health's budget is dedicated to mental health.

It doesn't take a mathemati-

cian to realize six per cent of the budget is just not enough when it's been said that 40 per cent of us will suffer a mental illness dur-ing our lifetime.

It is also critical that children receive the best possible care, as young as possible, to less the damaging affects of mental illness on the body, mind and soul.

Even while many government agencies try to increase awareness about mental illness, our health care budget allocation tells the real story about the priority we give mental health in our society.

The only way those percent-ages will change is if parents of children suffering mental illness continue to fight for their chil-dren, and for better services.

Fighting for mental health services

Chris Fait photoDavid Fait has a bird's eyeview from the roof of the safety cabin at Yank's Peak on the weekend. Though most of the snow is gone around town, there is still plenty of snow left in the moun-tains for snowmobiling.

You couldn't help but wince last weekend seeing the replay of hockey great Sidney Crosby taking a devastating blow to the mouth Saturday night from a puck, sidelining him indefinitely.

The injury which broke Crosby's jaw and several teeth, occurred in the first period of Pittsburgh's 2-0 win over the New York Islanders when the puck made a bad bounce and hit an unsuspecting Crosby in the mouth.

Prior to this nightmare, the NHL's lead scorer had an impressive month with six goals

and 19 assists as Pittsburgh went 15-0-0 for the month, prompt-ing the NHL to name Crosby as the first star for March.

He also matched a career high with five assists against the Islanders on March 10, becom-ing the only active player with more than one five-assist game in his career.

One of the most highly regarded draft picks in hockey history, Crosby has long been a fan favourite to watch since the 25-year-old from Cole Harbour, Nova Scotia was drafted, but he has also been plagued with

injury including suffering several concussions.

And now, just after we all started to relax and enjoy watch-ing this home-grown talent, fans will have to wait and see once again when Crosby will return to game.

The incident serves as a reminder of the injuries these players face during any given game for the love of their sport.

And let's be thankful our favourite Montreal Canadians goalie, one Mr. Carey Price, has a full face helmet so as not to harm his million dollar smile.

Tough luck for Sidney Crosby

This Sunday is World Health Day and the focus for 2013 is high blood pressure. Having high blood pressure increases the risk of heart attacks, strokes and kidney failure and if left uncontrolled,

can also cause blindness, irregular heartbeat and heart failure.

High blood pressure is pre-ventable, and can be countered by reducing salt intake, eating a balanced diet, avoiding the harm-

ful use of alcohol, taking regular physical activity, maintaining a healthy body weight and avoiding tobacco use.

So throw away the salt shaker and take a walk this weekend.

The vested interests attacking the Auditor General’s report on the BC Liberals’ “carbon neutral government” claim and the activities of the Pacific Carbon Trust (PCT) argue that B.C.’s Auditor General has no “expertise” with which to judge carbon offset projects.

Frankly, I’m glad someone who isn’t an “expert” in car-bon trading schemes is examining, with a skeptical eye, this highly controver-sial and questionable activity.

An “expert” in car-bon offsets is some-one who has already bought into the legiti-macy of these schemes and, as such, is merely interested in whether the rules of this newest shell game are being

followed. An “expert” would not ask the fun-damental question that needs to be asked: are carbon offset projects a legitimate, credible way to address climate change?

Experts already believe offsets are de facto legitimate.

The experts that are currently validating carbon offset schemes, including BC’s, are the same type of compa-nies that created the savings and loan and Enron scandals. They are also the same type of companies that vali-dated and sanctioned financial derivatives; what we now refer to as the “toxic assets” that caused the finan-cial meltdown in 2008.

Only a true outsider can answer questions about the fundamen-tal legitimacy and credibility of the BC

Liberals’ carbon off-set scheme, and BC’s

Auditor General is fully capable of giving

us his unbiased and expert findings.

River valley process line replacement com-pleted

The City of Williams Lake has completed the replacement of a section of process line serving the Atlantic Power Plant destroyed last year, with a solu-tion to avoid the prob-lem in the future. The line is now functional.

A landslide in the River Valley adjacent to the Williams Lake solid waste transfer station

destroyed a large sec-tion of the treatment water outfall from the Atlantic Power plant and a storm outfall pipe, which are criti-cal components of City’s infrastructure. Emergency works were completed to ensure service was not inter-

rupted.Because the process

line had to be replaced in its existing location, creative thinking was needed to return the pipe to the same loca-tion and not have the same thing happen again. To alleviate any future problems, the

pipe was directionally drilled from the top of the escarpment to the bottom. Engineers found a layer of earth that was relatively stable that the drillers could stay under from the top of the escarp-ment to the bottom, so land from future slides

would travel over the pipe, and not affect it. This drilling took months to complete, and the pipe has been re-established at both ends and the process water was able to be turned back on.

Design work for Phase 5 of the River Valley Stormwater Management system, which includes the replacement of the destroyed outfall sewer pipe, is almost com-plete.

Editor:I would like to con-

gratulate the Cariboo-Chilcotin HST Team!

Our hard work has paid off! The HST dis-appears on March 31st and the PST returns on April 1, 2013.

The Stop the HST initiative was very suc-cessful in the Cariboo Chilcotin. Over 9, 000 adults in our area signed the petition, which translated into 57 per cent of the total registered voters.

Our efforts show that every voice counts in a democracy. The HST was the largest ever taxation shift in B.C. history. It was introduced within weeks of the 2009 elec-tion after the Liberals said that HST was not on their radar.

Remember, every-single Liberal MLA in B.C. voted for HST! Even after British Columbians were suc-

cessful in overturning this tax through the HST campaign, the government took its time in returning the PST. While the gov-ernment implemented the HST in only 11 months, they took 19 months to get rid of the HST and bring back the PST.

During those 19 months we continued to pay tax on goods and services that didn’t exist when we had a separate PST and GST. As a result, we paid addi-tional taxes for almost two more years.

As of April 1, the HST is no more. Thank you again to all those who worked on the campaign and made this change happen.

Me and my DollyEditor: If you have had

back problems, you might appreciate my need to have a “dolly” in my life.

A couple of weeks ago I made the deci-sion that I was going to spare my back fur-ther trouble and dam-age by carrying fewer heavy objects. I went in search of a dolly with big wheels so I could “pick” things up and carry them with mini-mal involvement from my poor, long-suffering back.

I went to a local non-big box store and inquired about dol-lies. After finding a floor model that had been imported from an off-shore country, I asked if it was possible to have one that had been ‘Made in Canada’. With little effort, the helpful clerk at Tasco found one that was fab-ricated in Surrey.

I did have to pay a little more for this

‘Made in Canada’ model. However, how many times in your life would you need to pur-chase a dolly? I also made sure to purchase a ratchet-tie-down set for the dolly, and made sure that it was also ‘Made in Canada’.

I think that if more people made an effort to shop locally, and

asked for products that are ‘Made in Canada’ it would ultimately help the economic picture of our country.

Let’s not forget that, as consumers, we are the real job creators!

City staff volunteer to help Indoor Rodeo

A number of City of Williams Lake employ-ees have volunteered their time to haul dirt into and out of the Cariboo Memorial Complex for the 23rd Annual Williams Lake Indoor Rodeo April 19-21.

The staff volun-teers, from the Streets and Parks Divisions of the City, will donate

between 70-90 total man-hours to operate a loader and trucks to haul the dirt in and out of the arena. The work will be done outside of the volunteers’ sched-uled work shifts. City Municipal Services staff have volunteered to do

this work since 2007. “We are happy to

help out the commu-nity, and help make these important events happen,” says Matt Sutherland, Streets/Parks Division foreman at the City. “This is one way we can make a

difference for the com-munity.”

At its March 19th meeting, Council resolved to fund up to 50% of the cost of bringing soil in and out of the Indoor Rodeo for this year only, includ-ing equipment fuel and

maintenance, in order to alleviate hardship on the Association due to the short notice before the event.

“A huge thank you to our staff for volun-teering yet again to help bring this popular event to Williams Lake,” says Mayor Kerry Cook. “The Indoor Rodeo Association does an incredible job each year putting on a great weekend of rodeo entertainment.”

The City of Williams Lake may soon be branded as the Republic of Life if council accepts recom-mendations from eco-nomic development officer Alan Madrigga.

The City hired consultants to bring in this new wonder-ful logo at a nice cost and a big departure from the cowboy or the lake logo’s that we were using to bring in economic development and tourists.

Can you imagine people flocking to Williams Lake because of a logo that says ‘making it work in the Republic of Life’, shop in the Republic of Life, unwind in the Republic of Life and find yourself in the

Republic of Life!According to the

information from the City, the new brand concept will facilitate focussed, purposeful and positive messag-ing about the City of Williams Lake. Really? How?

Last year the City selected the Jaiji Brand Group to complete research and to design

a new brand for ongo-ing marketing. A new brand is intended to assist the City and local groups to attract, and retain investment and skilled work-ers. How will a new brand, advertising the Repuplic of Life, retain investment?

Can’t you just see one of the businesses wanting to sell a build-ing downtown, sud-denly say to themselves after seeing our repub-lic brand, “I think I will keep it”... seems like a stretch to me.

The information scheduled to be sub-mitted to the council of the whole for a rec-ommendation to coun-cil, also says the brand has been pre tested in target markets and has

met with favourable response. It fits with the profile of Williams Lake and utilizes previ-ous positive brand per-ceptions of the com-munity (cowboys).

In listing one of the advantages in town, the report says that Williams Lake is B.C.’s most pro-business city hall...really! I suspect there may be a number of other communities who could suggest the same thing.

A former mayor and councillor in Williams Lake phoned me to say he had seen all of ‘this branding stuff ’ and thought it was a crock. The individual who has talked to other folk, including busi-nesses, suggests there are a number of people

in the community who think the ‘Republic of Life’ does not fit into the image they have in mind for Williams Lake.

The project goal was to brand Williams Lake as one of Western Canada’s most desir-able small towns for families to live and work in. An admirable goal however I don’t think the ‘Republic of Life’ brand will do the job.

. . .Congratulations to

Mayor Kerry Cook for receiving the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Award. The award was presented by MLA Donna Barnett last week.

Goodbye and good riddance to the HST!

C I T Y O F W I L L I A M S L A K E

Republic of Life for the birdsHow would you

promote the City of Williams Lake? I am asking the Question because some folks in this City do not like the proposed brand-ing that suggests we be called the ‘Republic of Life’.

If you think the republic of life is a brand that does not do anything for the city, make sure you talk to a councillor or the mayor and tell them you don’t like this new way to promote Williams Lake.

The branding was passed at the council of the whole last week and it is expected to go to the next council

meeting for approval, which will be a week from yesterday. Tell our local government that you don’t like the ‘Republic of Life’ branding and ask them to reconsider this new program.

One councillor sug-gested the people in

town don’t need to like a brand, as long as it gets some attention outside of the com-munity. Is it not the people in Williams Lake who promote the branding to those who don’t live here?

I have had more comments about this branding than from any other subject I have discussed in this column in the last two years. I was shopping at Save-On-Foods last week and barley got in the store when a lady approached me to ask if council was really serious about using this crazy branding. I had at least five other people stop me in the

grocery isles to ask me what the city was doing.

There are a lot of folks upset at the City for bringing in this crazy branding and what many think is a big cost to have this completed. (The cost to taxpayers is now $41,000).

Perhaps it would be worthwhile to go back to the community for more ideas on the Branding issue!

. . .

Now we are back to the PST. Some busi-nesses are still work-ing on making changes to their tills so they

can get into the change from the HST. It was sure a big cost to bring the changes from a BC referendum that was more of a political movement rather than selecting a tax. Think about how many peo-ple we have to hire to administer the new tax program.

Why do we have to switch to a tax that is not used in many plac-es in the western world?

The new PST will take some time to get familiar with and I think it would be nice to include the taxes in the price of the item we are purchasing. This is done in Australia and works well.

Cameron JohnstonA unique weekend

Bible seminar entitled, Prophetic Pictures of God, will be con-ducted this weekend in Williams Lake at the Cariboo Central Seventh-day Adventist Church, 26 Woodland Dr. beginning at 7 P.M.

on Friday, April 5 and continuing on Saturday and Sunday. This power-ful eight-hour in-depth Bible study seminar will explore God’s uncondi-tional love as revealed in the Book of Revelation. Full info online at: www.silverhillsontheroad.com/revelation.

This inspiring semi-nar will be conducted by author, international speaker and Biblical scholar, James Rafferty. James has been a pas-sionate follower of Jesus Christ since the age of 21. He sensed early on God’s call to preach the good news of a crucified

and risen Savior. Since then the Holy Spirit has opened opportuni-ties for James to share God’s incomparable love around the world including Africa, Asia, Europe, the Middle East, Australia and across Canada and the USA.

“This inspiring semi-nar is designed to reveal the truth about the love of God as it is portrayed in the prophetic pictures of Jesus as the lamb of God and the lion of Israel,” says Pastor Cameron Johnston, the seminar local organizer. “Today, there is much

confusion about the pic-tures of God in the book of Revelation and James Rafferty has a special gift in teaching the Bible in a direct verse by verse approach while seeing the big picture.”

Pastor Johnston con-tinues, “this seminar is especially designed for both serious long term Bible students as well as beginners in spiritual development. Everyone is welcome and encour-aged to bring their Bibles and if some do not have a Bible, we will provide one.”

Seminar begins on Friday night with topics focusing on Revelation chapters 1-5, at 7 PM the title is, Jesus has landed and at 8 PM Jesus is lifted.

The seminar contin-ues on Saturday morn-ing at 9:30 with the title, Connected to Jesus (Rev. 6) and at 11 AM, Clean Through Jesus (Rev. 8) then Saturday after-noon, 2 PM Finished by Jesus (Rev. 10), 3 PM Measuring Jesus, (Rev. 11) and 4 PM Hope in Jesus (Rev. 14) with the final session on Sunday morning at 9 AM The Song of Jesus (Rev. 15).

Serious Bible students will not want to miss any

of these powerful and inspiring study sessions. Those just beginning to explore the Bible and especially the prophe-cies of Revelation will also want to prioritize this seminar. Everyone is welcome to come to this free seminar and be blessed as they grow not only in their knowledge of the Bible but also get a deeper understanding of the Christian Biblical worldview while also experiencing the grace of God in their lives.

James Rafferty, the guest speaker, is mar-ried and has two teenage children. He currently lives in Oregon and this will be his first trip to the Cariboo. For full info on this seminar call 250-392-1905 or visit: www.silverhillsonthero-ad.com/revelation.

This seminar is sponsored by the Cariboo Central and the Williams Lake Seventh-day Adventist Churches and Cariboo Adventist Academy. These two local SDA Churches are part of over sixty-eight thousand Seventh-day Adventist Churches in nearly every country of the world with nearly twenty million members worldwide.

Angie MindusCariboo Advisor

When the Stampeders bat-tled through all the odds to win the Coy Cup in Kitimat last month, they didn’t have home-ice advantage but they c e r t a i n l y felt at home with their N u m b e r One fan, F r a n c i s Johnson, in the stands cheering them on.

Anyone who has attended a Stampeders game ever, will know who Johnson is. He sits faithfully in the stands, at home or away, drumming with his traditional First Nations drum to let the team know he’s behind them.

“I do it because they tell me they get really motivated by the drumming,” Johnson says. “The sound of the drum (tradition-

ally) brings peace and strength.”

Johnson’s son, Francis Johnson Jr., plays centre for

the Stamps and is the team’s Assistant Captain. He was a key player in the last two games during the Coy

Cup finals.After the Coy Cup

win, Johnson per-formed a traditional honour song for the team and received his very own gold medal from the game and a championship ball cap.

“These guys, I’m so proud of all of them, they are really hard workers. I’ve seen their ups and downs and this is really a once in a lifetime team… In my heart I knew they could win the Coy

Cup.”J o h n s o n

says his son is the only

First Nations player on the

Stampeders team since the all-Native Lac La Hache Tomahawks were formed, with his son choosing to stay on with the Stamps.

“He’s played with these guys for years. They are all really close. He couldn’t leave them.”

Johnson says the team’s journey to the Coy Cup was a battle, as the players faced injury, having to miss games due to work as well as some becom-ing fathers and also the lack of home-ice advantage leading up to the Coy Cup due to

the City strike, which forced critical games to be played away in Quesnel.

Johnson faced his own challenges along the way to the Coy Cup, taking the brunt of bad behaviour from other team’s fans.

“I took flack from the fans,” Johnson says of having objects thrown at him dur-ing the finals while he drummed.

“But (I felt) I was taking it for the team. Our team was winning and (the fans) had to take it out on some-one.”

This weekend Johnson will gather with the team once again at the Stamp’s year end awards ban-quet to honour the

team and remember the hard fought battle for the cup.

“They played hard no matter what. They deserve a lot of credit for it,” says Johnson.

“This is a once-in-a-lifetime championship team and I’m proud and honoured to be apart of it.”

Longtime volun-teer Don Hanson says Francis is certainly a dedicated fan for the Stamps.

“He's a great fan,” says Hansen.

“The guys love him, and everybody certain-ly knows who he is.”

Getting more for your money is a popular trend among consum-ers. As economic uncer-tainty reigns, smart consumers are looking for the best values in an effort to get the most out of each and every dollar they spend.

One of the best ways to stretch a dollar is to take better care of your vehicle. Buying a home and financing a college education are perhaps the only times many consumers will spend more money than they do when purchasing a vehicle. But unlike a home or an education, few people take their vehicles seriously, all too often avoiding vehicle maintenance that can greatly increase a car or truck's life expectancy.

Drivers who want to keep their cars going strong for years to come can do so in a handful of ways.

• Prevent, prevent, prevent. Preventive maintenance might seem like a boring way

to spend a weekend morning or afternoon, but the efforts will be well worth it. Oil chang-es and filter replace-ments are quick and easy jobs but pay major dividends over the long haul. Drivers who aren't comfortable perform-ing these tasks them-selves need not worry about costly trips to the mechanic. Routine jobs like an oil change or air filter replacement are relatively inexpen-sive, and today's vehicles can go much longer between oil changes and filter replacements. Each vehicle manufacturer is different, so drivers should consult their owner's manual and adhere to the recom-mended maintenance schedule.

• Stay balanced. Balanced tires are tires that will last longer. But an out of balance tire will not only shorten the life of tires, it can also do damage to the rest of the vehicle while simultaneously mak-

ing riding in the car much less comfortable. When a tire is prop-erly balanced, its mass is uniformly distributed around the axle, mak-ing for a smooth, vibra-tion-free ride. However, an out of balance tire shortens the life expec-tancy of suspension components, including bearings and shocks. Repairs that result from an unbalanced tire can prove costly. Should a vibration occur as the

vehicle accelerates (typi-cally, this vibration will be noticeable when the car reaches speeds of 40-45 mph), chances are the tires are not properly balanced.

• Look good, feel good. The credo of

"look good, feel good" isn't only applicable to humans. In fact, a car that looks good likely feels good as well. Washing and waxing a car regularly helps avoid rust under the carriage and in the wheel wells.

The longer a car goes between washes, the more likely it is to rust, and the paint is likely to corrode as well. There is no quick fix to either of these problems, but preventive maintenance, like routinely washing and waxing the vehicle, can keep these poten-tially menacing issues from ever rearing their rusty heads. Preventing rust and corrosion is also a good way to ensure a car's resale value does not diminish over time.

• Get out and drive. Cars that spend most of their life in stop-and-go traffic likely won't last as long as those that routinely get out and go. That's because city driv-ing with lots of stopping and going is very tax-ing on an engine. On a highway, air flow to the

radiator, oil flow to the engine and everything that makes a car run is much more consistent, reducing the stress on the engine as a result. Constantly accelerat-ing and decelerating is hard on an engine, while the consistent speeds of highway driving offer a welcome respite to the engine. City dwellers should get out and drive their car on a highway at least once a month for no less than 30 min-utes. This is also a good way to get rid of poten-tially harmful condensa-tion that can negatively impact engine perfor-mance.

When looking to get more for your money, one of the best ways to do so is to take better care of the car sitting in your driveway.

Simple ways to add years to a vehicle’s life

Routinely hitting the open road is one of the easiest ways to add years to a vehicle's life.

There are different times in a driver's life when he or she may have to pull over on the side of the road. Whether a flat tire has derailed the trip, the driver or a passenger is experiencing motion sickness or you find the car isn't performing correctly and it war-rants a look under the hood, pull-ing over on the shoulder may be necessary.

It can be difficult to pull over smoothly and safely on a busy highway, especially when you are in a stressful situation, such as a mechanical emergency. But it is in your best interest to remain calm and follow a few procedures.

First, slow down and put on your right-turn signal to indicate you will need to move into the right lane. Some people prefer to put their four-way-flashers on after they have successfully cleared the lanes and are ready to navigate onto the shoulder. Try to select a spot where you are not on a bend or where there is poor visibility or your vehicle cannot be seen by other drivers on the highway. You do not want to be injured while exiting or attempting to work on the pulled-over vehicle. Drivers should keep an emergency road-side assistance preparedness kit containing flares, emergency tri-

angles or cones, a flashlight, bat-teries, a poncho, booster cables, duct tape, a utility knife, cord, a blanket, and first aid supplies in the car as a precaution. Each item serves its own unique purpose.

The Canadian Automobile Association recommends stay-ing inside the vehicle, especially on a busy road. Tow trucks and police vehicles typically cruise busy stretches of road and help may arrive in a matter of minutes. Those who have a roadside assis-tance plan membership can use a cell phone to make a call for help. It is best to wait in the car until a tow truck or police arrive.

Did you know?


Reducing fuel costs is foremost on the minds of many drivers. Myriad costs are associated with owning an automo-bile, many of which are within a driver's control. For instance, safe drivers are likely to spend less on auto insurance than drivers with a history of traffic violations or accidents, while drivers who purchase a vehicle with a high safety rating will likely spend less to insure that vehicle than they would a sports car.

One of the costs asso-ciated with driving that some drivers may mis-takenly feel is beyond their control is the cost of fuel. Drivers might not be able to control the price at the pump, but there are many ways drivers can spend less on fuel, helping them save money and helping the environment along the way.

Emphasizing effi-ciency

Making a vehicle more efficient is a great way to save money at the pump. But drivers don't need to get under the hood or have a mechanic's understand-ing of automobiles to make their cars more efficient. In fact, a few

minor adjustments is all it takes to make a car more efficient and save drivers, regardless of their mechanical incli-nations, money at the filling station.

• Adequately inflate tires. Tires that are not properly inflat-ed increase drag on a vehicle, which then

consumes more fuel to operate at full capacity. Check the driver's man-ual for the manufactur-er's recommended tire pressure, and check the tire pressure frequently to ensure your car isn't working harder than it needs to be.

• Clear out the trunk. A car filled with clutter

is carrying unnecessary weight, making it harder for the car to accelerate and consuming more fuel than it should be. Clear out the trunk and anything inside the vehi-cle that you don't need.

• Open the windows at lower speeds. Air conditioning consumes lots of fuel, and many

auto experts suggest roll-ing down the windows when driving at lower speeds. When you begin driving a little faster, roll the windows up and turn on the air condi-tioning to reduce drag.

Spend wiselyHow you're spending

at the pump can also help you reduce fuel consumption and save you money.

• Fill 'er up! Many drivers avoid filling up their tank when visiting the gas station for fear that filling up the tank makes the car heavier, decreasing the vehicle's fuel efficiency as a result. While that may be true, drivers who don't fill up make more trips to the filling station, and those trips can waste fuel. In addition, when the gas cap is removed from your vehicle, vaporized gas escapes from the tank, so opening the cap more frequently allows more vaporized gas to escape.

• Pay for gas with a card that rewards you

with cash for making purchases. While using a cash-back credit card won't reduce your fuel consumption, it will earn you some money back on your fuel pur-chases.

• Don't pay more for fuel your car won't uti-lize. Some drivers might feel as though putting a high-octane fuel in their vehicles will improve the vehicle's performance. But that's not the case. A high-octane fuel in a car that's built for a low-octane fuel won't improve the car's per-formance or its gas mile-age. Only purchase the fuel the owner's manual recommends. For many new vehicles, that means 87-octane, or "regular," fuel, which is typically the most affordable.

Drive wiselyDriving habits can

also impact how much fuel you're consum-ing. Driving habits can be hard to change, but drivers who start driv-ing with a mind toward safety and reducing fuel

consumption can take steps to do just that.

• Don't accelerate too quickly. Rapid accel-eration consumes more fuel. When accelerating, do so gradually. You'll still get to the same place, but you'll get there with a lot more fuel.

• Don't speed. Highway speeds more than 60 miles per hour significantly reduce fuel efficiency. Estimates suggest a car traveling at 60 miles per hour uses 20 percent less fuel than a vehicle traveling at 75 miles per hour. Toxic emissions, includ-ing carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons and nitro-gen oxides, also increase when vehicles travel more than 60 miles per hour.

Reducing fuel con-sumption is a goal for environmentalists and drivers alike. There are several ways drivers can help their vehicle con-sume less fuel and bene-fit the planet at the same time.

Taking steps to reduce fuel consumption can benefit the environ-ment and your bottom line.

Today's drivers rely heavily on GPS tech-nology, or global posi-tioning system devices. GPS has revolution-ized the way people drive and use maps and directions.

While there are no hard statistics on the number of people who own GPSdevices, thou-sands of people have either a GPSdevice that comes pre-equipped in a car that they pur-chased or a stand-alone device that was bought after the fact. These devices come pre-loaded with maps that work with satel-lites in space. The GPS receiver figures out the distance to each and uses this information to deduce the location of the device in a pro-cess called trilateration.

GPS devices have

made paper maps obsolete for many people. While GPS devices can be very convenient, especially on road trips, there are some tips to keep in mind.

• Place the GPS device where it won't obstruct your vision or take your eyes off of the road for a good deal of time.

• Don't treat the GPS as if it is infallible. Even with map updates and other accessories, a GPS can still make mistakes. Use common sense, especially where it would seem the GPS is guiding you in the wrong way.

• Do not play with the controls while operating the car. If you need to adjust something on the GPS, do so only after pulling

over to a safe area.• Have a general idea

where you are going so you'll know if the GPS

is potentially guiding you in the wrong direc-tion and can maneuver in advance.

Learn to Run program changes lives

Angie Mindus photoDylan Sinclair, Mitchel Watt and Brayden Methot kick off the mountain biking season Monday with a ride on Fox Rocks and Dogbone, which are part of the Fox Mountain Trail System off of Mason Road. Bike season always starts on Fox Mounatin a few weeks earlier than the rest of the trails around the lakecity thanks to its southern exposure.

Horsin’ around in the Cariboo

The Cariboo Memorial Recreation Complex is starting its 12-week ‘Learn to Run’ program on Thursday, April 4th at 5 p.m. The program is designed for beginner runners and will give you the basics of establishing your own sustainable running pro-gram that you will carry on beyond the 12-week program, theoretically the rest of your life.

It will provide you with adequate base training to enter the local Kidsport Classic on Sunday, June 23rd either in the 5 km (team) or 10 km (individual or

team) categories. The program is designed to gently increase your running distance. It starts with 30 seconds of running and 4 minutes of walking and slowly increases the endurance so that you are able to participate in a 5km Kidsport Classic Run at the end of the program.

The Learn to Run Program changed the lives of Angela Laprairie, Jillian Neuner, Treena Brown, Jill Jennings, Tammy James, and Janice Laurie. In 2006 Jill Jennings signed up to take the Kidsport Classic training pro-

gram so that she could learn to run. Jill was soon hooked on run-ning, and convinced three of her coworkers to try the program the following year.

“That first running session, I had ‘lawn mowing’ runners, sweat pants and a T-shirt to wear,” laughs Angela. “And the first thirty sec-onds of running was the longest thirty seconds ever!’ It was hard for the group to believe that they would actually run 5 kilometres, let alone someday be running ½ marathons. Although the training program

initially brought the four women together, the “homework runs” really developed the group. They met at each others’ houses and care-fully stuck to the timed walk/run schedule that their trainer gave them. “It is a mistake to look ahead in the running schedule because you will scare yourself. Just stick to the week in front of you,” explains Dora Foote, who joined the group in 2008.

The cost of the pro-gram is $89.00. For more information, con-tact Denise Skarra at 250-398-7665.

Phillips’s unique style is inspired by Jonny Lang, John Butler, Dave Matthews and Damien Rice as well as Mumford & Sons and Tool. He describes his music as Jazz/Rock/Alternative. Prior to American Idol, he also auditioned on the second season of America’s Got Talent but did not make it to its finals.

THE VOICE, THE COMPLETE SEASON2013 release from the winner of season 3 of The Voice. F o r m e r l y the lead vocalist of Pop Punk band Hey M o n d a y , C a s s a d e e split with her band and tried her hand at different styles of music for The Voice. In stepping out of her comfort zone, Cassadee surprised not only herself but her longtime Hey Monday fans with her new Country-edged Pop direc-tion. These 12 amazing performances were highlights of the third season of the program and paved the way for Cassadee’s huge win on the popular television show. The Complete Season 3 Collection brings together all of The Voice winner Cassadee Pope’s performances during the 2012 season of the NBC reality vocal competition. With a voice that com-bines the power of Kelly Clarkson with the pop-country twang of Carrie Underwood, Pope often sang songs that walked this sty-listic line. Included here are such songs as her cover of Miranda Lambert’s “Over You,” Maroon 5’s “Payphone,” Clarkson’s “Behind These Hazel Eyes,” and more.

Last Week’s Answers

HOrOscOpeAries, you must stand up for what you believe is right, even if it costs you a few friends along the way. It is the price to pay for doing the honorable thing.

Taurus, take a trip this week if it will help you reach your goals. The change of scenery could give you an entirely new perspective on a situation that needs tackling.

Gemini, think about adding some new skills to your resume. It’s not that your job is in turmoil right now, but it always pays to be a step ahead when it comes to your career.

Cancer, just because everyone else is making changes doesn’t mean you have to at this time as well. If things are working out, then let them stay as they are for a while.

Don’t set limits on what you do, Leo. Changes at work mean you may need to fill different roles that require new skills. There’s a good chance you can master them.

Networking comes in all shapes and sizes, Virgo. Attend a fun function to put yourself in touch with new people and lead to encounters that can help your future.

Libra, don’t feel guilty if your opinion differs from others’. If you don’t agree with the consensus, then that is your opinion and your right.

Scorpio, say what is on your mind because sometimes people just need to hear the honest truth. You have a good way of exacting authority and representing others.

Sagittarius, get together with people who share your love of adventure this week. Together you can enjoy time spent living vicariously and enjoying the scenery flying by.

Capricorn, if you want to get real results this time, change your approach with a person who has been troublesome in the past. You will get the knack of persuasion.

Discuss issues from your past that you have yet to resolve, Aquarius. This is the week to “come clean” with a spouse or romantic partner or someone else close to you.

Pisces, do generous things for others, and not only will you feel great, but also you will get an unexpected reward.

It is so nice to get out in the garden and dig around in the dirt. The nice fresh smell of the dirt as it is turned over sure is a sign of spring.

I cleaned my herb beds and found some oregano, thyme and sage at the stage where I could pick some and use them for cooking. It is fun cooking to use herbs all year, but the fresh baby herbs in the spring seem to be the best.

Now I am waiting to plant more herbs so by the end of May I will have lots to use with a nice variety.

You can use herbs

in almost any cooking to add a different taste to your food. They go good in smoothies to drink at the end of the day.

When using herbs, I like to put them in my dishes towards the end of the cooking process, about ten to fifteen minutes before

you plan to eat. You get more of the herb taste by adding them at the end rather than putting them in at the beginning of the cook-ing.

Here’s an interesting spring herb dish.

Spring Herb Rice1 3/4 cup of water1 cup of short grained

rice1 cup of chopped onion1 tbsp olive oil1 tbsp butter1 cup of sliced celery1 cup of fresh sliced

mushrooms½ tsp salt1/4 tsp of black pepper2 tbsp fresh herbs such

as oregano, thyme,

p a r s l e y and basil

1 tsp fresh s n i p p e d rosemaryB o i l

water in s a u c e -pan, stir in u n c o o k e d rice, reduce heat to s i m m e r for about 15 minutes or until the liquid is absorbed into the rice. Take of heat and let stand for about 5 min-utes. In a big skillet cook onion in hot oil and butter for about 3 minutes, then add celery, mushrooms, salt and pepper. Cook for

a minute or two until vegetables are tender. Remove from heat and add in rice, fresh herbs and rosemary. Serve.

Check your garden for fresh herbs and get use to the taste of spring.

Bye for now and Goood Cooking.
