Two letters have been written in response to declining moose populations in the Cariboo region, specifically Anaham Range.

The Tl’etinqox-t’in government office decided to ban moose hunting in the Anaham Range area, except for Tsilhqot’in hunters.

Reasons for the ban in hunting are outlined, including the recent, dramatic drop in moose populations. “The Tl’etinqox-t’in leadership and community are gravely concerned that moose populations and habitat are being compromised at a rate which jeopardizes the ability of Tsinhqot’in hunters to maintain their traditional hunting practices and to support Tsinhqot’in culture and communities,� the letter explained. “The Tl’etinqox-t’in assert Tsilhqot’in Aboriginal right to hunt moose within the Anaham Range as well as Aboriginal title over these lands, which includes the exclusive right to use these lands and the right to decide how these lands and resources will be used.�

The Tl’etinqox-t’in letter also highlighted the lack of treaty between the Tsilhqot’in Aboriginal and the Crown in regards to these rights. “We have occupied and cared for our traditional territories since well before European contact and indeed before the Crown assumed or asserted sovereignty over what they call British Columbia in 1846,� the letter said.

The Tl’etinqox-t’in added they plan to maintain their Tsilhqot’in Aboriginal rights and respect their responsibity to protect these lands and resources for future generations.

Claiming the province has failed to take appropriate action to pro-

tect moose populations in the Anaham Range area, the Tl’etinqox-t’in have taken the action to protect their Aboriginal rights.

In a letter written by The British Columbia Wildlife Federation (BCWF) president, Bill Bosch, explained the recent decline in the moose populations in the Anaham Range area is associated with large-scale salvage logging for pine beetle. “There has been a significant increase in wolf populations in all of these areas according to First Nations, trappers, outfitters, resident hunters and other outdoor users,� the letter said.

As wolves are predators of moose, this has been another cause for the moose population decline.

The letter from the BCWF also pointed to a lack of effort from the provincial government to deal with the declining moose populations. “While unfortunate, this decline in moose demonstrates the reality of budget cuts and funding shortfalls for wildlife management in British Columbia,� Bosch writes. “Basic management functions are on life support and have been for more than a decade. Creating healthy and abundant wildlife populations collaboratively rather than fighting over what remains should be the approach taken by all parties.�

Bosch’s letter urged resident hunters to contact their local MLA, specifically requesting a meeting. “A face-to-face meeting is best,�

Bosch said, “followed by letters and emails.� “Make sure you request a reply.

Remember, your MLA works for you.�

Bosch recommended addressing two issues with your local MLA, the hierarchy for allocation of fish and wildlife harvest and the budget for moose population recovery. see PAGE A2

Map shows area banning moose hunting from front “The hierarchy for allocation of fish and wildlife harvest is conservation, First nations needs for food (socials and ceremonial purposes), resident hunter and non-resident hunter (guide-outfitter operations),” Bosch said.

“If there is sufficient moose to allow a harvest after conservation and First Nations needs are met, will government ensure resident hunters have the opportunity to hunt in all crown land areas where a harvestable surplus exists?”

Bosch said the Provincial govern-

ment needs to start recovery in this area, with millions of dollars and on the ground efforts, starting in 2012.

“The expectation is moose experts provide research and that their recommendations are not overridden by politics,” his letter explained.

Bosch said the BCFW will provide updates to the situation and asked those with questions to contact the BCWF committee chair, Wilf Pfleiderer, wilfp@telus.net or vicechair, Jesse Zemen, jessezeman@ shaw.ca.

Billy Barker’s family set to celebrate Elaine Edgington, the great-greatgranddaughter of Barkerville namesake William “Billy” Barker, is leaving her home in England this week and heading straight for the historic town in British Columbia’s Cariboo region that was named after her ancestor 150 years ago.

Mrs. Edgington, who is a descendant of the wife and daughter Billy Barker was forced to leave behind in Cambridgeshire when he first travelled to North America to look for work in the late 1840s, will be Barkerville’s guest of honour at the 2012 Canadian National Gold Panning Championships Aug. 11 and 12, and will speak at a special “Discovery Day” ceremony planned for 3:30pm on Sunday.

“We really must thank Supporting Sponsor Williams Creek Gold Limited, as well as the Government of Canada’s Building Communities Through Arts & Heritage program, for helping make our Discovery Day celebrations possible,” Barkerville’s special events coordinator, Fairlith Harvey said.

“Discovery Day,” which caps off a weekend of sesquicentennial celebrations at Barkerville, is the National Historic Site of Canada’s official commemoration of Billy Barker’s astonishing placer gold strike in August of 1862.

Barker and his partners “discovered” a 30foot layer of rich gold-bearing gravel 52 feet below the surface of lower Williams Creek that averaged a hundred ounces of gold per day. This auriferous find not only gave birth to the extraordinary heritage site known as Barkerville, it spearheaded a 20-year, multibillion dollar industrial revolution that literally helped build the Province of BC. Discovery Day events will include musical performances throughout the town, a brand new Billy Barker historical interpretation, a visit from “The Spirit of Cariboo Cameron,” and a 100+ pound “Happy Birthday Barkerville” cake.

Rounding out Barkerville’s weekend of 150th anniversary fun is the 2012 Canadian National Gold Panning Championships, presented by Integris Credit Union. Hosted by Barkerville’s own five-time World Invitational Gold Panning Champion, Scott Rea, the 2012 Canadian National Gold Panning Championships is a two-day extravaganza that is sure to appeal to gold enthusiasts of all ages.

Competition categories include child, adult, seniors, professionals, teams, dash for the dentist (a children’s candy-hunt), scavenger pile (an adult free-for-all), grudge match, and King of the Creek (the ultimate contest for bragging rights and a $1,000 cash prize). Each category has cash prizes and sponsored gifts for the winners (including a $1,500 high bank sluice for the adults courtesy of Greywolf Highbankers, and a Razor electric scooter for the kids). Anyone can participate, provided they register 10 minutes prior to each event.

OPINIONS

Bear aware L

iving in Quesnel is synonymous with living out in the wilderness.

And one thing residents should always keep in mind is that we share our surroundings with wild animals.

Bear encounters and, albeit rare, cougar sightings are some of the joys of living in a rural area.

But with that privilege comes responsibility.

The last thing anyone wants is to have a wild animal euthanized or destroyed due to human carelessness or apathy.

According to the Get Bear Smart Society website, 792 black bears and 46 grizzlies are shot by conservation officers each year in British Columbia because they are deemed “problem” bears.

Although a majority of people are cognizant of their wild neighbours, here are a few things to keep in mind.

Take out your garbage bins on the morning of collection day, not the night before.

Bears are scavengers, so if you leave your garbage out, there is a likelihood a bear may snoop through it for an easy meal.

And once a bear becomes habituated to scouring through garbage, it becomes a risk to public safety.

Keep attractants out of your yard: glean fruit trees regularly, keep pet food indoors and keep bird feeders sugar-free.

Although they are opportunistic eaters, bears are only rummaging through our trash because humans have encroached too far into their habitat.

To motivate yourself to be bear smart, remember the saying, ‘A fed bear is a dead bear.’

–Autumn MacDonald, Observer

How about you puff on this, Popeye

T

he acceptance of smoking has deteriorated greatly in the last few decades, but one thing hasn’t changed: Popeye is still selling his famous candy cigarettes to kids.

They might be called candy sticks now and may look a little different without the red dye at the end to simulate a flame, but children know exactly what to do with them, and so did my nine-year-old daughter when she bought them at the corner store recently.

“Hi Mom!” she said puffing away on her pretend cigarette when she arrived home with her friend.

“Don’t we look cool smoking our smokes?”

Um, no. Cool wasn’t quite the word that came to mind.

Normally repulsed by cigarettes, Daisy was excited to play-act with her new prop, and I couldn’t help but wonder why these candies are still being sold.

With all the steps that have been set in place to

Lori Welbourne

On A Brighter Note de-normalize this dangerous habit over the years, wouldn’t it make sense to get rid of something that could strongly influence our impressionable young children?

Available in the same red pack that I remember from childhood with the iconic cigar-smoking sailor on the front, the intent of the product isn’t exactly subtle.

Who is still manufacturing these things and why?

“It doesn’t matter,” one of my friends said when I started asking people what they thought.

“If you’re a good parent and you teach your kids not to smoke they won’t.”

Well, if that were true,

tobacco is cool?

Allowing the sale of candy cigarettes or sticks or whatever the confectionary companies choose to call them is akin to selling little candy vodka bottles or candy heroin needles, neither of which I’ve ever seen sold.

A hundred years ago it wasn’t known that cigarettes were such a killer, so naturally these candy knock-offs seemed harmless way back when. Now that we know what we do, it’s become obvious that they’re far more dangerous than they appear.

Popeye is a great cartoon and a super strong dude, but I’d much rather see him using his marketing influence to promote spinach and help snuff out those nasty cigarettes for good.

that would imply outside influences and marketing have no factor in a child’s decision making. It would also suggest that all kids who decide to smoke have parents who neglected to teach them not to.

Neither of these implications are true.

While laws and regulations have made things significantly more difficult over the years for smokers to get their fix, the continued existence of candy cigarettes helps to promote smoking as something it no longer is: a socially acceptable activity.

“Oh, give me a break,” my friend argued.

“They would just use straws or pens or something else if they couldn’t buy these. We can’t ban everything.”

No, of course we can’t.

But since almost all smokers pick up the highly addictive habit in their early teens, shouldn’t we eliminate anything directly marketed to youngsters that suggests

Cats, dogs and camp SPCA Summer Camp for Kids instructors Colby O’Flynn and Matthew Coghill entertain the camp goers with animal games, crafts and general care of cats and dogs. Camps were held in July and August.

You see integrity, I see spoiled child Editor: In response to the letter submitted by Robert Wayne in the July 25 edition of the Observer, I have a few of my own observations and comments to share.

You see Coun. Sushil Thapar as a man of integrity, I see a spoiled child who didn’t get what he wanted, which was Ron Paull as mayor and he is now determined to make Mayor Sjostrom’s term as difficult as possible.

I also attended the July

Letters to the Editor

16 council meeting and was disgusted by the behaviour of this man you praise. I felt he was rude, sullen and disrespectful.

While other councillors behave in a professional manner and are working hard on their respective committees they have been assigned, Thapar is spending his time trying to discredit them and the Mayor.

Thapar was constantly looking to Pat Morton in the gallery for approval during his performance.

Twice they had to call

point of order when Sushil wouldn’t stay on topic. Every time he had a turn to speak he was on the attack. Time and time again, Sushil and his supporters have accused the rest of council of being “Mary’s puppets” which is incredibly disrespectful to our elected council, most of whom got far more votes in the last election than he did.

Make no mistake, Sushil Thapar is the puppet here.

I believe with Ron Paull losing the race for mayor

for the third time, he and his wife, Pat Morton, and others are using Sushil to try and discredit and undermine mayor Sjostrom.

I find it interesting Ms. Morton was using her iPhone to record the proceedings. Maybe she was so proud of Thapar’s performance she wants to be able to watch it over and over. When council asked if Sushil would attend an in camera meeting to discuss his censure, his response was that he would attend with

his lawyer.

I find his statement that he feels threatened and intimidated to be laughable. Maybe he should hire a body guard.

Sushil Thapar would like everyone to believe he is working in the taxpayers best interest but don’t be fooled. What I see is a man with a personal vendetta. I believe he has zero respect for anyone who is not on his side.

I witnessed his lack of respect for others during the election forum at Correlieu last fall.

When Coun.

Roodenburg was responding to the question about her accomplishments during the last time, Sushil mocked her by patting himself on the back and making faces.

He also rudely chatted with the fellow next to him through most of the forum when others were speaking. In my opinion the only ‘scared little child’ in council chambers is Coun. Thapar.

Coupon program puts fresh local food in low-income cupboards ANNIE GALLANT Observer Reporter Having fresh, local fruit, vegetables and protein just became easier for low-income families and seniors with the Farmers’ Market Nutrition Coupon Program.

The project is a partnership between B.C. Association of Farmers’ Markets and local community organizations with funding from B.C. Ministry of Health.

The target audience for this project is low-income pregnant women, families and seniors who receive coupon booklets to purchase fresh, local foods at the Quesnel Farmers’ Market.

Quesnel Child, Youth and Family Network chair Karen Borsato said it only took five minutes for the first Network member to enthusiastically reply to her email about the project.

“So far more than six programs have picked up coupons for clients,” she said.

“Most of those who have responded have heard about this program in other communities and were thrilled to finally have it in Quesnel.”

Coupon booklets for weekly shopping at the market ($12 for seniors; $15 for families and pregnant women) are distributed by programs who serve the target audience. There’s a preference that clients using the coupons also be involved in a related skill- or knowledge-building program related to nutritious foods.

“Affordable nutrition is a keep issue identified by community service providers,” Borsato said.

“And the coupon program is an effective partnership with the Farmers’ Market to help address this issue.”

Provincial program manager for Farmers’ Market Nutrition Coupon Program Peter Leblanc said funding is in place for three years.

“The goal is for the program to continue in the current 21 communities and expand both in number of participants in each community but also to increase the number of communities,” he said.

Agencies can pick up coupons at the North Cariboo Aboriginal Family Program Society. Each agency is required to track how many coupons are distributed.

At the same time they receive brochures for clients describing the project and how the coupons can be used. Information will also be provided for agencies managing coupon booklets.

Each week participants receive a booklet of $3 coupons which allows them to shop at various Farmers’ Market vendors. The coupons are good until the last market in early October.

Harvest, the Quesnel Farmers’

Market overseeing board is pleased to finally have this program in the community.

“We’ve tried to access this program before but with a busy board it’s challenging,” coupon coordinator for the Farmers’ Market Maggie Ferguson-Dumais said.

“This year all the pieces fell into place and with secure funding for the next three years, this is good for the market, the community and for the participants. Vendors are very excited about the program.”

She added getting everyone on board and excited is sometimes a tough go, however FergusonDumais said this program sells itself.

“So many people are amazed at the taste of fresh vegetables,” she said.

“A carrot is an incredible flavour experience and I just can’t describe the taste of a fresh tomato.

“That experience should be available to everyone.”

She went on to say the Farmers’ Market is happy to partner with the community agencies who distribute the coupons and the government which funded the program.

But possibly the most rewarding for vendors at the market is seeing the people spending the coupons and discovering the taste and benefits of fresh food, FergusonDumais said.

The coupon brochure itemizes the eligible food, including vegetables, fruit, fresh herbs, cheese, eggs, nuts, fish and seafood and meats; Ferguson-Dumais said at the Quesnel Farmers’ Market participants can purchase almost every item on the list.

The Farmers’ Market will also be tracking how many coupons are redeemed and together with the information on how many are distributed, the success of the program can be assessed.

Borsato is excited to be part of the Farmers’ Market Coupon Program and says its part of the whole food security issue.

“Food security ensures the largest number of people have access to food that’s sufficient and affordable and nutritious,” she said.

“There’s a lot of ways to serve that issue and this program is certainly one of them.”

Leblanc said having this program operate in Quesnel provides support for low-income families and seniors.

“They will be able to select fresh, local nutritious food from the farmers at the Quesnel Farmers Market,” he said.

“What a wonderful way to improve nutritional health and support local agriculture.”

For information on this program contact Borsato at 250-992-9160 or drop by the market and have a chat with Ferguson-Dumais.

Dog Days of Summer gallery show runs to Sept. 1 ANNIE GALLANT Observer Reporter Quesnel Art Gallery’s August show is titled Dog Days of Summer.

The members’ show is a tip of the hat to Roman history.

Dog Days are the hottest, most sultry days of summer. The name comes from the ancient belief that Sirius, also called the Dog Star, in close proximity to the sun was responsible for the hot weather.

The Romans considered Sirius to be the Dog Star because it is the brightest star in the constellation Canis Major (Large Dog).

Sirius is also the brightest star in the night sky. The term Dog Days was used earlier by the Greeks.

The Dog Days originally were the days when Sirius rose just before or at the same time as sunrise, which is no longer true, owing to the procession of the equinoxes.

The Romans sacrificed a brown dog at the beginning of the Dog Days to appease the rage of Sirius, believing that the star was the cause of the hot, sultry weather.

Dog Days were popularly believed to be an evil time “the sea boiled, the wine turned sour, dogs grew mad and all other creatures became languid; causing to man, among other diseases, burning fevers, hysterics and phrensies� according to an 1813 source.

Art Gallery volunteer coordinator Pat Wahlstrom said this was a fun project and no dogs were sacrificed for the show. “It’s sometimes difficult to get people to commit to a summer show; everyone is so busy,� she said. “And member shows are always interesting because they inspire the artists to create new work.�

The show features multi-media including pottery, glass, paintings, quiltings, cards, knitting and other textile art.

Tasked with interpreting a canine theme, the artists showed why creativity is the premier quality necessary for what they do.

One artist, City arts coordinator Elizabeth Waldorf created floor clothes designed to go at a front door or under pet dishes.

Bearing the image of an ancient dog and the words Cave Canem (beware of the dog), the mosaic design was found on the floor of The House of the Tragic Poet in Pompeii.

Sale proceeds of the floor clothes will be donated to the Quesnel SPCA. While working on hanging the August show, Wahlstrom commented the artists’ work in this show offered a certain challenge in how best to display the pieces. “But somehow it always comes together,� she said with a smile.

Thanks for supporting ShelterBox program The Quesnel Rotary Club would like to thank Quesnel residents and visitors to Quesnel during Billy Barker Days for attending Rotary’s pancake breakfast on Saturday and Sunday mornings and donating to ShelterBox program.

During those events, Rotary had the ShelterBox tent set up and it generated great interest in the contents and the aid ShelterBoxes provide, helping in disasters around the world.

Last month, ShelterBoxes were dispatched to flash flooding victims in the Krasnodar region of southern Russia where 171 people were killed and thousands displaced after their homes were completely destroyed by the waters.

A total of 150 ShelterBoxes were distributed thanks to the coordination of Russian Rotarians and the ShelterBox organization.

In late June of this year, more than 100 ShelterBoxes were sent to the mountainous Bududa District of eastern Uganda after devastating landslides struck the region, displacing an estimated 4,000 people and killing 30 people in two villages in the area. An additional 100 are still missing after the landslide buried houses and forced many people from their homes.

With water supplies destroyed or contaminated, the water filtration equipment contained in the ShelterBoxes was of particular importance.

ShelterBox Response Team volunteers worked with local Rotary and other aid organizations in both disasters to setup tents, keeping families as close together as possible.

The survival contents of the ShelterBoxes help families survive the immediate aftermath and begin to rebuild their lives.

Quesnel Rotary Club is proud of the support from the community with $2,500 raised during the breakfasts.

“This is enough money for more than two ShelterBoxes and their contents to provide accommodation and relief for families of up to 10 people, while they bring their lives back to order,” John Havens, ShelterBox ambassador for the Cariboo area said.

“Again, thanks Quesnel and visitors for your support of Rotary service activities.”

Osmond defends title JONAS GAGNON Observer Reporter Local Stacy Osmond defended her first-place title in Nelson last weekend.

It was the 30th anniversary of the Cyswog'n'fun triathlon, which brought out the biggest field of contestants the event had ever seen, leaving Osmond with her work cut out for her.

"Going into the Cyswog'n'fun, I put a lot of pressure on myself to defend my title as first female last year," Osmond said.

Osmond, of the Cariboo Triathlon Club, was the sole member of her club to make the trip to Nelson to take part in the Cyswog'n'fun triathlon, but the trek was more than worthwhile.

"I was so relieved when I came around the turn on the run to see that I had grown my lead to something that would be insurmountable for the next female. My reward for all the hard work was a purse worth almost $500 and a free entry to go back and defend again," Osmond said.

The lead came during the cycling portion of the race. Omond was the second female out of the water, but caught and passed the female

www.quesnelobserver.com A15

in first to capture the top spot.

Osmond didn't sit back and enjoy her position after her pass either. She made sure to defend her position, gaining a five-minute lead on the second place female by the end of the race.

This year the course included a longer, 600m swim, a 22km cycle over rolling hills and a hot, hilly five-kilometre run.

Results aren't available as of this writing, but Osmond says she finished in 1:17 and change, more than 30 seconds faster than her time last year.

The finish might have made the day, but great organizers, volunteers and massage therapists at the race added sweet, sweet icing to the top of her first place cake.

That cake wouldn't have been possible without a key ingredient, a pair of wheels borrowed from John Courtney of Cycle Logic and Rocky Peak, whom Osmond would like to thank.

Next up for the Cariboo Triathlon Club, Heather Fisher is off to Kelowna to race in the Kelowna Apple in two weeks time. After which traithlon club members will participate in the Summerland Triathlon, Sept. 2.

Traveling in groups up to 500,000 animals strong, at an average speed of up to 55km/h for up to 5,000 km a Caribou migration is characterize by credulity–stretching numbers.

Closer to home a herd of Cariboo cyclists will once again be hosting their migration, though with smaller numbers.

The third annual Cariboo Migration bike ride is an 82-km ride from just outside of Quesnel to Wells.

Following the gold rush highway and its climb of 726 metres, the ride offers a twisting ribbon of asphalt through beautiful Cariboo scenery.

Organizers will have bike maintenance and first aid crews on hand just in case and, on a more positive note, rest stops along the way to enjoy the scenery and refreshments to keep riders energy from flagging.

If, however, 82 km is a bit far for a Saturday afternoon bike ride, the organizers also offer the Cariboo Calf ride, from Troll Ski Resort to Well, which is approximately half way.

Once in Wells those made of steel and hydraulics can make their way back by bicycle, but for those who cost less than one million dollars, there is a free shuttle that will return you to your vehicle, or, riders can stay in Wells and enjoy everything the small arts community has to offer.

Fee is $50, funds go to Baker Creek Enhancement Society and the Mountain Caribou Trust Fund.

Recipes

Olive oil adds life to appetizer recipes F

or hearty eaters, plan an extra batch of this tasty combination created by the International Olive Council.

Pork and Mushroom Sliders Prep Time: 34 minutes Cook Time: 25 minutes Total Time: 45 minutes 12 sandwiches 1/4 cup sour cream 2 tablespoons coarse ground mustard 1 pound pork tenderloin, trimmed 5 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil 2 large cloves garlic, divided and minced 1 1/2 teaspoons dried thyme leaves 4 cups finely chopped shiitake mushrooms 1/2 cup chopped ripe olives 1/4 cup finely chopped shallots 12 small rolls, split (warmed, if desired) Heat oven to 400°F. Blend sour cream and mustard in small bowl; cover and refrigerate. Combine 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 clove garlic and 1 teaspoon thyme leaves in mini chopper or finely chop garlic and blend mixture in bowl with fork, mashing garlic.

Rub pork with garlic mixture; place in shallow baking pan and roast 25 minutes or until internal temperature is 160°F. Remove from oven; let stand at least 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, heat remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil in large skillet over medium-high heat.

Add 1 clove garlic; cook and stir 30 seconds or until fragrant but not browned.

Add mushrooms, olives, shallots and remaining 1/2 teaspoon thyme leaves. Cook and stir 5 minutes or until mushrooms are tender.

Remove from heat; set aside.

Thinly slice tenderloin diagonally across grain.

Spread each cut side of rolls with mustard mixture. Spoon half of mushroom mixture (about 2 tablespoons) on bottom of each roll. Top rolls evenly with sliced pork and remaining mushroom mixture.

Cover with top halves of rolls.

Serve on coated sandwich wraps or bakery sheets if desired.

TIP: Meat can be roasted several hours in advance, then refrigerated and sliced before assembling sandwiches. www.newscanada.com

The healthy truth about deep frying

F

or years we have been told that deep frying is bad for you, but new research published in the International Journal of Food Sciences and Nutrition suggests that deep frying actually retains more antioxidant capacity in some vegetables compared to boiling or pan frying. In fact, some vitamins such as A, D, E and L, and beta-carotenes (found in yams), lycapene (in tomatoes) and luteinzeaxanthin (in spinach) actually require fat in order to be absorbed by the body.

But don’t rush into a fast food restaurant just yet.

“Most commercial restaurants use oils high in trans fat and fatty batters,” says Noel Gallegos, a deep frying expert at T-fal Canada.

“This is why our company has designed deep fryers that are safe and easy to use at home so you can ensure a healthy outcome using the right oils and proper method.”

Unlike a skillet or pot, a deep fryer has an immersed heating element that keeps oil at the ideal temperature throughout the cooking process, Gallegos says.

This forms a barrier so only a

small amount of oil penetrates the food to create a crispy crust.

Steps to perfect frying: Step 1: Selecting the right oil: Opt for healthier oils that are low in saturated fat and have a high ‘smoke point’ such as—like peanut, soybean and palm oil which have compounds that won’t breakdown at high temperatures.

Step 2: Oil temperature: The key to minimizing fat absorption lies in reaching and maintaining the right oil temperature which for most foods is roughly 375°F. Any cooler than 325°F will result in foods soaking up to three times more oil.

Step 3: Remove excess: Always blot cooked foods on a paper towel to remove excess grease before eating to keep calories and fat as low as possible.

Step 4: Filtering & conserving your oil: Oil can be reused up to six times if properly cleaned and stored in an air tight container.

Quality units feature built in filtration and storage systems that remove food particles and automatically drain the oil to keep its healthful properties. www.newscanada.com
