Ten Thousand Villages fair trade world craft sale co-ordinator Laura Baerg is ecstatic about strong community support shown for the recent event, which saw sales of just under $25,000. Nearly all of the items offered at the four-day event at Marmot Ridge sold. She said people of the South Cariboo should be excited about helping to make such a difference in the lives of the artisans in developing countries who crafted the items.

Seniors dinner enjoyed by 350 special guests

Ken Alexander Free Press

The annual Seniors Dinner, hosted by the Rotary Club of 100 Mile House, was another huge success at the 100 Mile Community Hall on Dec. 1. The hall was packed with area seniors who enjoyed a great turkey meal with all the trimmings and desserts, cooked and baked by local restaurants, refreshments and some great entertainment. The event is so popular the club had to open the doors early, so people could get their seats and save some for friends who would be arriving later. Camaraderie is another key to the popularity of the event, as

it serves as a meeting place for folks to get together for an annual visit. All they have to do is sit back and visit with friends and neighbours, and enjoy the service and food. All of this work is not by the Rotary Club alone, as there is a huge volunteer base that comes out year-afteryear to do something special for our seniors, many of whom are pioneers in the area. “I want to thank all of the volunteers who come out and assist throughout the day and evening,” Rotary Club president Maureen Pinkney says, adding she thinks everyone who attended the event enjoyed themselves. “First and foremost, a huge thank-you goes

to all of our sponsors. Individuals and businesses of the South Cariboo donate funds and goods to the Rotary Club, which then purchases all of the supplies, including food, to be able to host this event. “We could not host this event without the support of the local restaurants that perfectly cooked our 14 turkeys to feed the 350 guests.” Pinkney also notes the

100 Mile Community Club provided the use of the community hall free of charge. She adds the entertainment provided by Thom and Laurene Duff-Bailey of Nice ‘n’ Easy, and the Highland Dancers was fantastic and a real hit with the seniors. “The entertainers make the evening so much fun.” Pinkney gave a special thank-you to Royal LePage for handing out

Learn to stay injury free on and off the ice

Even though the Vancouver Canucks are not on the ice, a lot of British Columbians, both the young and the young-at-heart, have returned to play hockey. When lacing up for early morning or late night practices and games, safety needs to be a priority for everyone. The Physiotherapy Association of BC has compiled four tips to help players stay injury and pain free while playing Canada’s favourite game. “Before you or your child even step on to the ice, make sure you are well equipped,” says Rebecca Tunnacliffe, CEO of the Physiotherapy Association of BC. “Getting fitted with the right equipment helps to prevent injury from muscle imbalance, flying pucks, body contact and accidental collisions.” She adds it is important to be mindful about how to prevent giving or receiving a concussion. “If you or a member of your family gets a concussion, your physiotherapist can design a program to ensure a safe return to the ice.” Here are some top tips:

• A dynamic warm up has been shown to be a powerful factor in reducing injury. Start with five to 10 minutes of large muscle activity, such as a few slow laps of the rink, stair climbing or some spins on a stationary bike. • Muscles used repetitively in hockey create large imbalances

You find yourself at the centre of attention. You are pretty much the only person who can execute some sort of task, for which you will receive a great deal of gratitude. LEO

You feel the need for a bit of a break in your routine, as much for yourself as for your love relationship. Don’t hesitate to accept invitations from your friends as well as from acquaintances. VIRGO

They also allow B.C. residents returning from another Canadian province to bring back on-their-person up to nine litres of wine, three litres of spirits, and a combined total of 25.6 litres of beer, cider or coolers for personal consumption.

Non-profit groups have received a reprieve and will now be allowed to use liquor for fundraisers, with certain limitations. Energy, Mines and Natural Gas Minister Rich Coleman has confirmed the province will take a “common sense” approach allowing nonprofit organizations to conduct fundraising, using gift baskets or similar items that have liquor as one of its components. The law will be permanently clarified by legislative changes at a later date. The new approach enables charities and non-profits to conduct certain types of fundraising, such as auctions, using liquor provided it is a part of a gift basket or an equivalent basket of goods. The liquor must have been commercially produced and must not be consumed at the event. Currently, British Columbia law requires anyone who sells liquor to be licensed and for the liquor sold under that licence to be purchased from the Liquor Distribution Branch (LDB) or another approved outlet, such as a B.C. winery. Charities that wish to fundraise using only liquor, without other items as a primary component of a basket, will have to wait until new legislation is in place. For those organizations, a special occasion licence will continue to be required and the liquor will have to be purchased through the LDB. The B.C. Liberal government is modernizing liquor laws in B.C. because many federal and provincial liquor

Shipping tips and mailing dates for the holiday season

Whether your loved ones are across the city or the world, Canada Post will be tackling the busiest season of the year, processing almost 1 billion pieces of mail by the time Christmas rolls in. As Canadians prepare to ship their gifts this season, Canada Post provides its list of holiday mailing tips: • Good packing prevents delays and damage, so use the right size box and centre your item. • Wrap fragile items – newspaper, bubble wrap or foam will protect them on their journey. • Wrap your parcel in

CHRISTMAS TREES U-cUt or we cUt • Spruce • Fir $3.00 ft. Lots to choose from - up to 10’

plain paper. • Don’t use string or twine – it can get caught in the processing machines. • Make sure the address is written clearly and on the largest side of your parcel. • Mark your calendar. To get your shipments to their destination before the big day, keep these deadlines in mind: In Canada: for cards, send locally by Dec. 17, within province by Dec. 18, out of province by Dec. 19. Send parcels by Dec. 10. Mailing to the United States: send letters and cards by Dec. 14 and

parcels by Dec. 10. International shipping: deadlines vary depending on the region. In general, allow three weeks for cards – longer for some areas.
