DRIVERS ENCOURAGED TO WATCH THEIR SPEED IN WILLIAMS LAKE New speed reader boards have been installed in Williams Lake, including this one located on South Lakeside Drive, heading south past the turnoff to Walmart.

On Dec. 13 City of Williams Lake manager of operations Reg Ryan, ICBC’s road safety co-ordinator Diana Pozer, councillors Surinderpal Rathor and Laurie Walters, director of municipal services Kevin Goldfuss and Mayor Kerry Cook braved the snow to bring the boards to the public’s attention. The boards were installed thanks to a partnership between ICBC and the city — the other three are located on Mackenzie Avenue, Pigeon Avenue between Comer and Gibbon Streets, and on Foster Way. Next year the city may relocate the boards to other locations. The boards operate 24 hours per day, seven days a week and provide downloadable data.

Tribune food and toy drive Saturday This Saturday between 10:30 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. the Williams Lake Tribune hosts its 10th annual food and toy drive in cooperation with local businesses.

In exchange for donations to the Salvation Army food bank donors receive a gift certificate donated by a local business. People may also put their names in a draw box for one of four grand prizes.

For information on this program turn to the Last Minute Christmas Gift Guide supplement in this issue the Tribune Weekend.

The Tribune encourages the public to participate in the program to assist the Salvation Army in providing for those less

fortunate this Christmas.

The Salvation Army will be delivering Christmas food hampers to 269 individuals and families next week, says Cpt. Claudine Kadonaga.

Along with this 256 children will receive toys and age-appropriate gifts, thanks to donations from the community.

She says the food hampers and toys will be distributed on Thursday, Dec. 20 out of the Salvation Army dining room at 272 Borland Street between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m.

Given recent high profile thefts within the Salvation Army in other parts of Canada, Kadonaga explains that all food and toy donations received in Williams

Lake are utilized in the Williams Lake Food Bank, stored locally, and are under the direct supervision of the Williams Lake Corps officers.

The Salvation Army continues to collect toys, food and cash donations for the Christmas Cheer program right up until Christmas and beyond.

Food bank manager Sabrina Silvey says the greatest need is for nonperishable high protein foods such as canned tuna, ham, salmon, pork and beans, and all kinds of beans.

She says there is also a need for meals in a can such as chilli and beef stew. Other items of greater need on the list include peanut butter, oatmeal, powdered

milk, tomatoes, tomato sauce and pasta.

The hardest group to buy gifts for are teens.

This year Kadonaga says there are 56 teens ages 13 to 18 in need of gifts. She suggests people purchase a small stocking stuffer such as chocolates and a gift certificate for a store where teens can make choices on gifts such as clothing, make-up, sporting goods, electronics, etc.

The children’s gift list includes 10 children under one year of age; 31, ages 1 to 2; 34, ages 3 to 4; 37, ages 5 to 6; 37, ages 7 to 8; 36, ages 9 to 10; and 25, ages 11 to 12. The Salvation Army will also hold a dinner for people in need on Christmas Day this year.

A very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

NEWS Mushrooms in December

With holiday music filling the air and shoppers rushing home with their treasures, it only makes sense my thoughts would turn to mushroom hunting.

As others sought out wrapping paper and turkey, I went down to our local bookstore and was delighted to find a huge selection of books on mushrooms.

Maybe this could be a New Year’s resolution kind of thing. Mushroom hunting is something I have wanted to be knowledgeable at for a long time now.

Maybe 2013 will be the year I become wise in the ways of spores.

Or maybe it will be the year I die a horrible death.

There is an old adage that goes, “There are old mushroom hunters and there are bold mushroom hunters; but there are no old, bold mushroom hunters.” I suppose if you were looking for a safe month to hunt wild mushrooms, you couldn’t do much

SLICE OF LIFE SHANNON McKINNON

better than this one.

You’d have to be a special kind of unlucky to die of mushroom poisoning in December.

When I was small, my grandmother and I used to gather mushrooms from the same corner of her lawn year after year. She used them to make the best mushroom soup I have ever had. Summer weekends at Grandma’s place were always filled with gardening, picking berries or harvesting vegetables. In my mind, the wild mushroom patch was merely an extension of her garden and I never questioned how she knew they were

safe to eat. I wish I had asked more questions.

Flipping through my recently acquired mushroom book, I suspect they were field mushrooms or for the Latin lovers Agaricus capestris. The only three mushrooms I can identify with any confidence are Shaggy Mane, Giant Puffball and Fly Agaric.

While Shaggy Mane and Giant Puffballs could never be described as pretty (except as in pretty delicious), the Fly Agaric is dropdead gorgeous.

Its rich red cap flecked with white looks as if it stepped right out of a fairy tale. Unfortunately if you nibble on its drop-dead gorgeous flesh you will drop dead yourself. And if you don’t, you will wish you had. Mushroom poisoning is not pleasant. According to my book foolish people sometimes consider eating Fly Agaric hoping for a hallucinogenic holiday, but instead end up vacationing in the hospital.

Or the morgue. Nothing about the trip this mushroom offers is pleasant.

I don’t know which mushrooms are magic, but it isn’t this one!

Apparently traditional medicine men used to attempt to dodge death and get a buzz by feeding this mushroom to their animals to remove some poison and then collecting and drinking the animal’s urine.

Good grief. Fortunately for humans (not to mention poor Fido) we now have alcohol to turn to for our liquid poison needs.

My own interest is strictly culinary. I want to recreate my grandmother’s incredible mushroom soup. But I don’t want to die in the process. And so I have been studying my book of mushrooms, learning about taking spore prints and how to spot poisonous posers. The more I read, the more fascinated I became until I finally set the book down and looked out at the snow covered landscape in frustration. It would be a good five months and probably more before I could

even think of putting my newfound knowledge to the test. I got up and went to throw another log on the fire, passing by my plant stand on my way.

I have been growing my own winter greens and herbs; baby kale, spinach, arugula, tom thumb lettuce, mesclun mix, dill, sage, basil, rosemary, peppermint and parsley. As I walked past I gave the greenery an appreciative glance and something in the wee dill patch caught my eye.

A mushroom! I had

scooped the compost for the plant boxes from my own garden this fall and it must have contained a spore.

It was only a single mushroom and barely big enough to make a serving of soup for a gnat, but there it was. A mushroom for the hunting! A mushroom in December! A flurry of enthusiastic study ensued but before I could positively identify it the mushroom, well, the mushroom died. How ironic is that? Before it succumbed I took its picture both as proof of my December mushroom and in the hopes someone can help me identify it. If there isn’t room for it in the paper (and if you don’t see it that means there wasn’t!) and you think you might be able to help, check it out on my website.

A simple symptom like dry mouth can cause problems.

Besides discomfort, it can contribute to tooth and gum disease. It can accompany some disease, like Alzheimer’s, diabetes, hypertension and Parkinson’s disease. Some aids to dry mouth include keeping body hydration up, breathing in through the nose more than the mouth, quitting smoking and using a fluoride toothpaste.

One of the many good things about quitting smoking is that your body starts to recover right away. Within half a day, carbon monoxide levels will be much lower. A year later, the risk of having a heart attack will be cut in half. It’s coming up to New Year’s resolution time and if you become a nonsmoker, you will have a longer and healthier life.

News

Preparations being made to release final report on missing women Ensuring that families of the missing and murdered women are provided with information and support related to the announcement, the Ministry of Justice has now contacted family members by telephone, mail or email to provide them with the date and time of the release.

Information is also provided on how they can access the report prior to the media availability of commissioner Wally Oppal and Minister of Justice and Attorney General Shirley Bond.

Acknowledging the significant impact the release of the report will have on many individuals, families have also

been provided with the contact information for victim support workers who can provide assistance or connect them with services in their local community.

Services are available to family members before, during and after the release of the report. VictimLink BC, a toll-free, 24/7 information and support line is also available at 1 800 563-0808.

Bond has asked ministry staff to re-double their efforts to reach out to families to ensure that, to the greatest extent possible, those affected are provided with this information.

Family members, regardless of where they

live, have been advised about how to access the report online beginning at 9 a.m., prior to commissioner Oppal making public statements on the report later in the day.

In addition, Bond will provide assistance to those family members who were represented by counsel at the inquiry, who attended the inquiry hearings, and who wish to be in Vancouver.

They have been asked to contact the ministry.

This is to ensure they have the information and the support they need on the day of the release.

On Dec. 17, a reading room will be set aside for family members who are able to attend in person.

Victim services supports will also be available at that location. The room will open at 9 a.m.

A reading room will also be open at noon for parties who had standing at the inquiry.

A lock up will be available for media.

Additional details regarding location and times for media participation will be provided on Friday, Dec. 14.

Out of consideration for the families and to provide sufficient time for families and other affected parties to review the report, the ministry will ask media to not begin reporting until 1 p.m. when the media briefing begins.

Take care to protect pets The holidays are a time for festive decorations and special treats, but some of these seasonal items can be hazardous for your pets.

Just ask Agnes. Last year, the six-year-old Old English sheepdog underwent emergency surgery to recover approximately 20 feet of sharp wire tinsel from her stomach! To help ensure your pet has a safe and happy holiday, the BC SPCA offers the following reminders: No bones please.

Avoid giving bones to your dogs or cats, particularly turkey bones.

Poultry bones easily splinter and can cause serious injury, while bone fragments can cause intestinal blockages or

Friday, December 14, 2012 Williams Lake Weekend

lacerations; Healthy Treats: Chocolate and other sweets should not be given to animals.

Chocolate contains theobromine, a chemical that can be deadly to cats and dogs, though not harmful to humans.

The best thing you can do for your pets over the holidays is to keep them on their regular diet.

Look for special animal treats instead of giving your animals cookies or sweets meant for people.

Poisonous plants.

Many popular holiday plants are poisonous to animals including mistletoe, holly, ornamental pepper and Christmas rose. Remember to keep these plants out of reach of pets - especially birds.

Poinsettias are not poisonous to pets or people.

This has been a longstanding rumour perpetuated for decades. Having said this, some pets who have a sensitivity to the latex contained in the plant may get diarrhea or even vomit if they consume parts of a poinsettia.

Avoid tinsel. If you have a Christmas tree and pets, you have a recipe for trouble. First, make sure the tree is well secured.

Try to place decorations above paw height and use string to hang the bulbs instead of hooks, which are easily dislodged. If possible, use nonbreakable ornaments. Avoid using tinsel or angel hair.

Cats and dogs will ingest

both, which can cause intestinal problems. Cords for lights should be made inaccessible to pets - especially from chewing puppies and exploring kittens. Keep in mind that the chemicals added to the water reservoir of your Christmas tree to keep your tree living longer won’t do the same for your pet. The chemicals are toxic to animals, so keep the reservoir covered.

Choking hazards in toys: avoid purchasing pet toys with small or soft pieces that can be chewed and swallowed. Nylon bones tend to splinter less than plastic ones. Be sure to inspect pet toys regularly and discard deteriorating ones.

Come in & book your Christmas vacation now for the best prices!

Published by Black Press 188 N. 1st Avenue Williams Lake BC, V2G 1Y8

Clean LNG can still be done On Friday Dec. 7, as the federal government was giving the green light to a Malaysian investment of billions more into northern B.C.’s liquefied natural gas (LNG) megaproject, Coastal First Nations chiefs held their quarterly board meeting in Vancouver.

These are now the most powerful aboriginal leaders in North America, bankrolled by U.S. environmental groups and their wealthy charity foundation backers as guardians of the Great Bear Rainforest.

A major topic was the Haisla Nation, the Kitimat partner that abruptly quit its voluntary association with the Haida, Gitga’at and other communities over its plans to develop LNG exports.

This discord comes at a bad time. Premier Christy Clark has bet heavily on LNG, not just for her government’s future, but the industrial and economic direction of the province for decades to come.

Initial press reports were misleading. One had it that Haisla Chief Councillor Ellis Ross, the B.C. government’s key ally on LNG, was “buddying up” with the Harper government on the Enbridge oil pipeline proposed to go to Kitimat, in the heart of Coastal First Nations territory.

Not so. Both Ross and Coastal First Nations executive director Art Sterritt confirmed to me that they remain solidly against the Enbridge proposal.

The disagreement is over how to power the processing of LNG, which the Haisla are pioneering with provincial assistance.

Sterritt said the Haisla and the rest of the group were in agreement until a few weeks ago.

The plan was to follow Clark’s solemn vow to make B.C. LNG the “greenest” in the world.

All parties acknowledge that some of B.C.’s shale gas will have to be burned to process and ship LNG to Asia.

The initial idea was that one or two natural gas-fired power plants would be built, eventually backing up wind, small

B.C. VIEWS TOM FLETCHER

hydro and other renewable supplies.

BC Hydro has 600 megawatts available from its dams, which would require new transmission capacity up to Kitimat to help run the first two LNG plants proposed in partnership with the Haisla.

Then the play got bigger. The B.C. government transferred Crown land on Douglas Channel to the Haisla for an LNG project planned by Shell, PetroChina and Korea Gas. And Sterritt said he started getting signals from Victoria that the industry doesn’t want to buy power from outside producers to drive LNG cooling and compression. Instead they wanted to power it directly with gas, using equipment called “mechanical drives” rather than electrical drives.

In a letter to Haisla members explaining why he quit the Coastal First Nations, Ross said he was insulted by Sterritt’s comments that the Haisla were choosing “the dirtiest way possible” to ship LNG. Ross noted that emissions would be about the same if gas is burned in the LNG plant or in a power plant nearby.

That’s true, but Sterritt points out a critical difference. If LNG producers are allowed to use single-purpose mechanical drives, no renewable energy can ever be added.

And as more LNG producers rush into B.C., reserves that would have lasted 75 to 100 years could be depleted in 30.

And when the gas is gone?

“These big, hulking plants that are going to be in Kitimat are just going to be sitting there, rotting,” Sterritt said. “It happens all over the world.”

B.C.’s clean energy plan envisions extending the BC Hydro grid, developing run-of-river and wind farms such as the big offshore proposal off Haida Gwaii, and ultimately a future beyond oil and gas.

Now, in their rush to develop LNG, Clark and Energy Minister Rich Coleman seem poised to abandon that strategy.

Musical and dance friends got together at Thompson Rivers University gymnasium, Nov. 30 to help Cindy Nadeau and LeRae Haynes launch their first CD Stop on the Bridge. Pictured Mark Lees (left) on bass, Glenn Robson on trumpet, Cindy Nadeau on lead vocals and guitar, Gary MacBurnie on drums, Randy Pokeda on steel guitar, and LeRae Haynes on keyboards and vocals. Kesha Neal on vocals, Geoff Patenaude on banjo, and John Sykes on tuba also joined the band for various songs. The launch/fundraiser included a dinner, silent auction, belly dance demonstration by Faith Andre-Samira Belly Dancers, sale of fibre crafts from Peru, an informational slide show, and a dance. A total of $5,000 was raised for the DESEA Peru project initiated by Sandy Hart and Sandra McGirr from the Chilcotin who are working to provide clean water and health education for indigenous people living in that country.

*Includes 2 frames and 2 sets of single vision scratch-coated lenses. +Vision exams for healthy adults between 18 & 65. +Some restrictions apply. Offer subject to change without notice. *

With a little help from Coun. Laurie Walters and John Sykes, Kesha Neal joined the band to sing the last song of the evening Today I’m Going to Try to Change the World.

Drummer Gary MacBurnie came down from Quesnel to keep the beat. Many other volunteers helped with the event.

Living Well

Have a healthy holiday season For many of us the holiday season is marked by sharing great food with friends and families.

It’s a challenge not to over indulge at this time of year. Yet it’s not healthy to feel deprived due to avoiding food at social gatherings while trying to stick to a diet.

Part of having a healthy relationship with food is being able to enjoy all foods in moderation.

However, having healthy options available allows us to eat more nutritious foods along with the inevitable goodies.

Big things come in small packages and when it comes to calories, appetizers can be huge.

Despite their small size many appetizers are

made with rich ingredients that are loaded with extra calories. Why not contribute something a little lighter to the appetizer scene?

To up the nutritional value without overdoing the calories incorporate vegetables, whole grains, plain yogurt or bean dip, into appetizers. Aim for 50 per cent of the offerings to include some fruit and/ or vegetables. Here are a few ideas to consider.

Stuffed Cherry Tomatoes: Slice cherry tomatoes in half and scoop out the pulp. Stuff with a small crumble of goat cheese and top with a little pesto or stuff with a small cube of feta and a thin slice of kalamata olive.

Fruit Skewers: Put a new spin on the classic

sponsor spoT

Tips from The CrD

fruit platter.

Cut assorted fruit into chunks and thread onto small barbecue skewers or toothpicks. Serve with flavoured low fat Greek yogurt for a dip that contains a good source of protein and is easy on the calories.

Assorted Cracker Toppers: Choose your favourite whole grain cracker and top with things such as low fat

cream cheese and jalapeño jelly, low fat cream cheese and smoked salmon, or cucumber and hummus.

Tortilla Pinwheels: Cover the surface of a 10-inch whole grain tortilla with low fat spreadable cream cheese, add some lettuce and fill with any of the following combinations: thinly sliced cucumber, red pepper,

green onion, and salsa; smoked salmon, capers and red onion; or feta, dried cranberries and green onions.

You can also fill with hummus and veggies or use salad sandwich ingredients such as egg, salmon or tuna. Roll the tortilla tightly (imagine rolling sushi) and cut into one or two inch pieces.

You can also help en-

courage healthier holiday nibbling by using smaller plates and putting healthier choices at the start of the appetizer table.

Placing healthy choices up front encourages guests to fill their plates with the healthy options.

Remember, there is much more to the holiday season then food.

Enjoy time with friends

and family by taking a walk together after eating. Consider planning gatherings around activities like ice skating, tobogganing or skiing to help encourage activities that are both healthy and fun during holiday celebrations.

Christmas Tree safety

As you deck the halls this holiday season, be fire smart.

A small fire that spreads to a Christmas tree can grow large very quickly.

Picking the tree

•

Choose a tree with fresh, green needles that do not fall off when touched.

Placing the tree

• • • •

Before placing the tree in the stand, cut 1–2” from the base of the trunk.

Make sure the tree is at least three feet away from any heat source, like fireplaces, radiators, candles, heat vents or lights.

Make sure the tree is not blocking an exit.

Add water to the tree stand. Be sure to add water daily.

lighting the tree

• •

• •

Use lights that have the label of an independent testing laboratory. Some lights are only for indoor or outdoor use.

Replace any string of lights with worn or broken cords or loose bulb connections. Connect no more than three strands of mini string sets and a maximum of 50 bulbs for screw-in bulbs. Read manufacturer’s instructions for number of LED strands to connect.

Never use lit candles to decorate the tree.

Always turn off Christmas tree lights before leaving home or going to bed.

after christmas

Sponsored by

Get rid of the tree after Christmas or when it is dry.

Dried-out trees are a fire danger and should not be left in the home or garage, or placed outside against the home. Check with your local community to find a recycling program. Bring outdoor electrical lights inside after the holidays to prevent hazards and make them last longer.

Resource sharing agreement signed The Beginning of a

Tom Fletcher Black Press

Politicians and aboriginal leaders have signed a three-year extension to their ground-breaking deal for resource sharing on 4.5 million hectares of northern Vancouver Island and the adjacent coast.

At a signing ceremony at the B.C. legislature Monday, Nanwakolas Council president Dallas Smith said other B.C. First Nations were skeptical of his group entering into forestry, mining and hydroelec-

tric power deals without having treaties.

But it was established in 2007, the number of Nanwakolas members participating has grown from six to 10, and similar “strategic engagement agreements” have been signed around the province.

The agreement is leading towards a formal deal with coastal forest companies, a proposed coal mine and several proposed independent power projects, Smith said.

The affected region extends from Port Hardy to Comox on eastern

Vancouver Island, and a broad swath of the adjacent coast that includes Bute Inlet, Knight Inlet and north to Cape Caution. Also included are the Kliniklini and Homathko River watersheds, where large runof-river hydro projects have been proposed.

Aboriginal Relations Minister Ida Chong said the agreement affects up to $6 billion worth of power projects, but Smith said the specifics are confidential due to discussions with private power developers.

The province has

agreed to pay $2.26 million to the Nanwakolas Council to implement the agreement and build capacity to issue permits for construction.

Rick Jeffery, president of the Coastal Forest Products Association, said the agreement will help companies work out their own logging agreement on the entire traditional territory.

“It’s very hard for us to go into capital markets and raise money to rebuild mills or fund operations if you don’t have any certainty on

the land base because of First Nations issues, so this is very positive,” Jeffery said.

Two more communities, the ‘Namgis and We Wai Kai, signed on to the agreement for the first time. Their asserted traditional territory adds another 1.1 million hectares.

Smith said the extension gives the Nanwakolas group certainty going into the 2013 provincial election, because it is a contract with the provincial Crown that continues regardless of who forms a government.

‘World’s cleanest’ LNG still B.C. goal Tom Fletcher Black Press The B.C. government isn’t wavering from its goal of developing clean energy as negotiations continue for an expanding natural gas export megaproject across the north, Premier Christy Clark says.

In a year-end interview with Black Press this week, Clark responded to Coastal First Nations concerns that liquefied natural gas (LNG) processing at Kitimat and potentially Prince Rupert could proceed without

external electricity supplies.

Clark said LNG exports to Asia have been her top economic priority in recent months, with the original two projects on Haisla Nation land at Douglas Channel growing to eight proposals as international interest in B.C. shale gas development has grown. Confidential negotiations are ongoing with energy companies, and decisions on power supply have not yet been made, she said.

“Our plan has always been for the cleanest LNG produced any-

where in the world, so that’s been hydro, wind power and other renewables as well,” Clark said.

“But we’ve always said there’s going to have to be some natural gas power produced to shape it.

“There’s another economic imperative we have, which is to grow our clean energy industry,” Clark said.

“We’ve got the third biggest clean tech industry on the globe, after Germany and California, and we want to keep growing that.”

Last week the Haisla Nation dropped out

of its voluntary association with the Haida, Heiltsuk, Gitga’at and other communities who make up the Coastal First Nations. They are still united in opposition to the Enbridge Northern Gateway oil pipeline proposed to go to Kitimat, but the rest of the Coastal First Nations oppose processing LNG directly by mechanical equipment that burns gas.

Clark said full development of B.C. LNG will require construction of the Site C hydro dam on the Peace River, as well as smaller hydro developments

and wind power such as that proposed off the coast of Haida Gwaii.

The Coastal First Nations occupy what is now known as the Great Bear Rainforest, a vast area of the north and central B.C. coast with a land use plan negotiated in 1996 with the B.C. and federal governments. A group of U.S.-based environmental foundations matched the two governments’ $60 million financing for the protected areas plan, working with environmental groups Greenpeace, Sierra Club and ForestEthics.

Penticton band co-hosts aboriginal business development event Aboriginal Business Match (ABM) 2013, the powerful Aboriginal business development event, will be cohosted by the Penticton Indian Band (PIB) and held from February 18 to 21 at the Penticton Trade and Convention Centre.

“This important business event will provide the opportunity to showcase Penticton and the Syilx/ Okanagan region as a great place to do First Nations business,” said Penticton Indian Band Chief Jonathan Kruger in a press release.

“The success of our band-owned businesses and the many development initiatives we’re pursuing will create new economic opportunities and job growth for our community, the City of Penticton and the region as a whole.”

The Penticton Indian Band is committed to change, and to embracing and delivering economic progress. In 2007, Chief and Council sharpened its focus on business growth by establishing the Penticton Indian Band Development Corporation (PIBDC) under the leadership of Lesley Gabriel. PIBDC’s mandate is to foster the development of a sustainable economy for the Penticton Indian

Band and manage the band’s business portfolio.

“ABM provides invaluable opportunities to initiate and foster business relationships from supplier to joint venture partner for PIB, the other 119 BC First Nations and the 100 corporations registered,” said Keith Henry, chair of the ABM Steering Committee.

“We estimate that delegates at ABM 2012 initiated anywhere from $2 and $10 million dollars in new business deals. We expect results from ABM 2013 to be significant again.”

ABM employs a unique tradeshow format of prepared oneon-one business meetings.

The technologypowered event offers online tools that assist with the creation of targeted messaging and communication between delegates.

Delegates develop e-profiles showcasing communities, opportunities and projects, services and products offered as well as required. Based on these e-profiles appointments are requested online and computer-matched to make the best connections. Equipped with a focused appointment schedule and detailed

knowledge about each other’s business and priorities, meetings are effective and translate into real deals.

“As we move forward, our business success and new joint venture partnerships have the potential to transform the regional economy in a profound way,” said Chief Kruger.

“The City of Penticton is pleased to support the Penticton Indian Band as they realize their vision for economic growth locally and throughout the region.

Collaborative partnerships are keys to mutual success, and this event will strengthen the ties binding our communities together,” said City of Penticton Mayor Dan Ashton.

economic growth plan.

PIBDC is working with an experienced group of partners, including Bellstar and Devonian Developments, to develop the $250-million Arrowleaf project. This master-planned residential resort community will be located on a spectacular 550-acre site overlooking Skaha Lake.

The development will be built in phases, starting in 2013, and includes a mix of single family residences and townhomes, a proposed professional golf course, a commercial village core, vineyards, walking trails and a host of other amenities.

Construction is slated to begin in Spring 2013 on a 75-home residential development on Warren Avenue with partners GableCraft Homes.

The PIBDC has also partnered with the Property Development Group (PDG) on

a planned shopping centre and mixeduse development to be located on a 20-hectare site bordering the Penticton airport.

Changes to MLA pensions and perks recommended Reforms to the MLA pension plan, living allowances and meal per diems should be among the top New Year’s resolutions B.C. MLAs make this season, according to IntegrityBC. IntegrityBC is calling for an independent panel to review and make recommendations on existing MLA benefits which need to be seen in the context of a salary that already places them in the top five percent of B.C. income earners.

MLAs are also the second highest paid provincial legislators in Canada, third highest if tax free allowances given to

MLAs in Quebec are included.

“No one expects an MLA to subsist on Kraft Dinner, couch surf or give up a pension plan,” said IntegrityBC executive director Dermod Travis.

“It isn’t about nickel and diming, it’s about leading by example and striking the right balance between the costs of being an MLA with existing public and private sector policies.”

In 2007, the B.C. government changed MLA pension plan contributions from a system where taxpayers contributed $1 for every $1 put

in by MLAs to a plan where taxpayers now contribute $4 for every $1 put in by MLAs. While MLAs deserve a pension plan that is reasonable, taxpayers deserve a plan that is equitable and the province should follow the federal lead where the MP pension plan was recently reformed to a 50/50 contribution system between MPs and taxpayers.

When one of the three options for MLA living allowances from outside the Capital Regional District doesn’t require receipts for “administrative efficiency” and receipted claims for meals under

the per diem policy are not accepted, it’s difficult to have an accurate sense of MLA expenses.

However, figures released by the legislature in October show that from April to September, 63 MLAs billed $366,194 for living allowances and 67 MLAs billed $93,518 in meal per diems while in Victoria. These numbers do not include allowances and per diems paid for by ministries on behalf of their ministers.

At least 43 MLAs billed the $1,000 monthly allowance for six months, even though the legislature only sat for 24

With a tightening lending market, now more than ever, the expert advice of an experienced, independent mortgage broker is crucial.

days in April and May. The $1,000 monthly allowance does not require receipts. Eight MLAs billed over $6,000.

Under existing rules, MLAs are entitled to bill “$61 per day for meals when in Victoria,” with the policy stating that: “Partial days or a permeal rate can not be claimed. No receipted claims are accepted.”

“A per diem is justified when an MLA stays in a hotel,” said Travis.

“Otherwise their living arrangements are no different than an MLA with a home in the capital region and a per diem shouldn’t apply.”

Christmas Bird Count Sunday Phil Ranson The Christmas Bird Count hosted by the Williams Lake Field Naturalist’s will take place on Sunday, Dec 16.

The count, which was first held in the city in 1969 is now in its 45th year and will be one of 415 counts across Canada involving over 12,000 volunteers.

We expect to have 35 people in the field on Sunday as well as numerous bird feeder watchers throughout the count area which is a 24-kilometre diameter centred in the city’s downtown.

The circle takes in from Wildwood to Sugarcane and Dog Creek Road out to Flett Road; from Meldrum Creek Road on the west side of the Fraser River to beyond Fox Mountain to the east.

Last year’s count netted 4,600 birds of 49 species and how well we do this year will depend on many factors including weather conditions on the day and if any open water remains on Williams Lake.

Our highest count occurred in 2008 when the lake was

mostly open and we had 64 species including many waterfowl.

Data from the Christmas Bird Counts are compiled by the National Audubon Society and are at the heart of hundreds of scientific studies providing information for decision making by wildlife managers across North America.

Because birds are early indicators of environmental threats to habitats we share, this is a vital continent wide survey.

There is a possibility this year that a Snowy Owl may be recorded for the first time on the count.

They have been occurring in the interior in unprecedented numbers so far this winter with upwards of 30 being seen in the Prince George area and five in Quesnel.

Several have been seen west of the Fraser but the only one in the count area so far was found in a distressed state and is believed to have died of starvation.

This unfortunately seems to be the fate of many of these young birds which may have been driven out of the Arctic by a crash in

Snowy owls are dying in record numbers this winter as they migrate south from their Arctic home in search of food. The migration south is believed to be the result of a crash in the Lemming population which is their primary food source. Peter Zwiers photo the Lemming population which is their primary food source.

Bird feeders contribute greatly to our numbers and we would ask that anyone with a feeder in the count area to let us know what birds they see on Sunday.

Observe the feeder at its busiest, usually in the morning and get an estimate of the numbers and species seen.

Please call in your list to 392-7680 after 5 p.m. on Sunday, 16 or email ranson1@ telus.net If you need help identifying the birds at your feeder, call Phil at 398-7110.

Eye Health Matters EYE EXAMS Take a proactive approach to your eye health! Eye exams aren’t just for glasses. Many eye diseases have no symptoms until vision is lost. Regular eye exams are the first line of defense to ensure a lifetime of healthy vision.

What is involved in an eye exam? ✔ Before you see the doctor, one of our assistants will perform a pre-test. This gives the doctor information they need to begin your eye exam. ✔ Pre-testing includes a thorough medical history, including any vision problems you may have been experiencing. Then a few measurements are taken, including a measurement of the fluid pressure inside your eyes and a picture of the back of your eyes. Colour vision testing and depth perception testing may also be done at this time. ✔ When your eye exam begins, the doctor will first verify your level of vision (visual acuities). They will then check your binocular vision status, noting the way your eyes work together. ✔ A refraction is performed to determine your prescription for glasses and/or contact lenses. This prescription can be refined even further to give you optimal vision for specific tasks, such as computer use, piano/music reading, mechanics, etc. ✔ Next the health of your eyes is checked from front to back. This check will allow the doctor to identify if any eye disease or risk factors for eye disease are present. ✔ If an eye disease or risk of eye disease is detected, further testing or treatment may be needed. Optometrists are now able to treat most medical eye diseases. One example of a medical eye disease optometrists are treating is glaucoma.

Regular eye health examinations are important in preserving healthy eyes and vision for a lifetime. The Canadian Association of Optometrists recommends annual eye exams for children and seniors and eye exams every other year for adults if they have no eye disorders. Childrens eye exams are fully covered by BC Health Care. Your optometrist may recommend more frequent eye exams if there are any concerns regarding your eye health.

At Cariboo Eye Care Clinic, our highest priority is to provide excellent professional care of the eyes of our patients. As Williams Lake’s only eye doctor office, we take that responsibility seriously.

Initiative to enhance rural internet service The B.C. government is seeking partners to help bring affordable high-speed internet to families in remote regions of the province.

The B.C. Broadband Satellite Initiative will see the B.C. government invest up to $2 million dollars through 2016-17 to leverage the latest

generation of satellite technology.

This will make access to high-speed Internet connections affordable and available to residents of remote areas of B.C. where service is not currently available.

Approximately three per cent of B.C.’s population lives in areas where

satellite technology provides the only option for a high-speed Internet connection for the foreseeable future.

Under the B.C. Broadband Satellite Initiative, citizens who qualify for the program would receive funding assistance for both installation and set-up costs,

making it more affordable to subscribe to high-speed service in remote locations where traditional wireless or landline broadband solutions are not available.

Access to affordable high-speed internet will provide families and businesses in B.C.’s remote regions with a wide range of

new social and economic benefits.

Better Internet connectivity also means improved access to public and government services such as e-health, and elearning resources, as well as an open door to the information citizens need to actively participate in decisions that impact

their lives.

The program will be delivered in partnership with a yet to be determined service provider (or providers) selected through a government procurement process, which opens today with a Request For Expressions of Interest (RFEI) posted on the BCBid website.

The procurement and selection process is expected to be completed by March 2013.

Details on how citizens can apply for participation in the program will be announced following the selection of a successful proponent or proponents and the program’s official launch.

Just days till Christmas! The airwaves are filled with music and television programs reflecting the season. Some of them even reflect Christian beliefs!

In the days of the first Christmas, the world situation was much like today. People were going about their business, each day seemed much like the one before, and the future, well, it looked rather bleak for the people of Israel. The Romans were occupying the land and enforcing rules and behaviour patterns foreign to the people. Yet aside from the occupation, the people were doing rather well. Stability in the economy, opportunities to travel over the new roads and to conduct business in foreign lands – these were just a few of the good things of their life.

Aside from a few conflicts between the Roman and the religious rulers, the people could continue to practice their religion.

Yes, much like today.

Then, in the fullness of time, Jesus was born. God had predicted that this day was coming,“when he would fulfill his gracious promises made to the house of Israel and the house of Judah” (Jeremiah 33:14-16). The time was of God’s choosing, when God said “now”. The Bible calls it an “appointed time” – God had already set the time of Christmas in

PARSONS PEN

BY GERRIT APPERLOO the beginning of human time.

The Bible frequently speaks about “appointed time”. Jesus himself referred to the time not being right yet, or that the time had come. And we all know that verse that says “It is appointed once for a man to die”.

The Bible also speaks about another “appointed time”, the day of Christ’s return, his second coming. That time is fixed, set ahead, not dependant on you or me or what we do; set in God’s time schedule.

“Appointed time”. I believe there are other “appointed” times for each of us, times when things have reached their fulfillment in our lives and we

reach a point of decision regarding our future and our relationship with God. One such time is the moment we accept Jesus as Saviour. Many of you may have done that. It is a life changing “appointed time”.

However, often people fail to carry through, fail to stay the course. They begin right, but then things of this world get in the way – actually it is not the things of the world but the desires of our human hearts, isn’t it?

That is what takes us off course.

But then God orchestrates things in our life so that the “fullness of time” comes for us once again, when we suddenly realize that we cannot stay off-course but need to return to following Jesus. Suddenly we have reached the moment of our “appointed time” to repent and return.

Is this your “appointed time”?

Have your circumstances brought you to the “fullness of time” and now is the day God is calling you to repent and accept Jesus as Saviour or to repent and return to him?

Don’t say you aren’t interested in following Jesus. Why are you reading Parson’s Pen if you aren’t?

So go ahead, admit it and deal with it.

Have a happy and blessed Christmas 2012.

First Nation Education Act consultation initiated The Honourable John Duncan, Minister of Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development, announced Dec. 11 the start of the government’s intensive consultations with First Nations on the development of a First Nation Education Act. Economic Action Plan 2012 committed the Government to having legislation in place for September 2014 and to exploring mechanisms to ensure stable, predictable and sustainable funding for First Nation students.

“Improving education is a priority we

share with First Nation parents, students and leaders,” said Minister Duncan.

“The consultation process will ensure that the perspectives and concerns of First Nations inform the drafting of this legislation and contribute to improving the education First Nation students receive, opening the door to more opportunities and jobs.”

Canada remains committed to working with First Nations to develop a First Nation Education Act and to fulfilling its obligations pursuant to section

35 of the Constitution Act, 1982.

Intensive consultations with First Nation parents, students, leaders and educators, as well as the provinces, will be integral to the development and drafting of legislation.

The consultation process consists of two key stages.

First, between December 2012 and April 2013, First Nation parents, educators, leaders and others are invited to participate in regional consultation sessions and to explore the Aboriginal Affairs and Northern

First heart surgery in Kelowna The first-ever open heart surgery to be performed outside of the Lower Mainland and Victoria was successfully completed at Kelowna General Hospital last week.

Health Minister Margaret MacDiarmid and Westside-Kelowna MLA Ben Stewart were joined by Interior Health board chair Norman Embree, Dr. Guy Fradet, medical director of the Interior Health Cardiac Surgery Program, and Luke Brockholm, the patient who underwent the first surgery, to celebrate the milestone.

“The start of cardiac surgeries is great news for patients such as Luke Brockholm and their families,” said MacDiarmid.

“Cardiac patients needing surgery are now able to get care closer to home, without having to travel to the Lower Mainland, which is very welcome news.”

Dr. Fradet performed the procedure last week on Brockholm, a 54-year-old maintenance and operations supervisor at Penticton Airport.

He was just the first of what is expected to be approximately 600 patients a year who Give life .... register to be an organ donor today!

will benefit from the opportunity to receive full cardiac care closer to home.

“Having a cardiac surgery program in Interior Health means improved access to services for diagnosing and treating heart disease,” said Fradet.

“It also decreases the burden of travelling great distances, away from family and other supports, to receive care. This will improve the co-ordination of patient- and family-centred care within the Southern Interior.”

“I feel so fortunate to have had the opportunity to have my surgery done at Kelowna General Hospital,” said Brockholm.

“Being only an hour away from where I live in Penticton, I was able to return home in less than a week, which has been a huge relief for me and my family.”

Cardiac surgery was previously only performed at four hospitals in British Columbia: Royal Columbian Hospital, Royal Jubilee Hospital, St. Paul’s Hospital and Vancouver General Hospital.

“I have lived in Kelowna for most of my life, and have seen the entire Southern

Interior region grow exponentially in that time,” said KelownaMission MLA Steve Thomson.

“Bringing cardiac surgery to Kelowna will help the 600 patients per year who previously had to travel for their care, and of course their families who travel too.”

“Having support networks in place around you while you recover will help patients prepare for and recover from cardiac surgeries,” said Norm Letnick, MLA for Kelowna-Lake Country. “With around 600 cardiac surgeries expected per year, we are delivering better care for Interior residents.”

“Getting cardiac surgery up and running in the Interior Health is a remarkable achievement of everyone involved at Interior Health,” said Ben Stewart, MLA for Westside-Kelowna.

“Congratulations to the surgeons, nurses and staff involved in delivering this important program.”

In 2009, Kelowna General Hospital also became the first hospital outside of the Lower Mainland and Victoria to perform percutaneous coronary

interventions, or angioplasties.

Since the program started in November 2009, almost 3,000 procedures have been performed.

“People who require heart surgery will now be provided care right here in the Southern Interior,” said Norman Embree, chair of the Interior Health Board.

“Cardiac surgery will be more timely and there will be greater access to regional medical and clinical staff for follow-up care.”

“Today is a great day for residents of the Central Okanagan,” said Robert Hobson, chair of the Central Okanagan Regional Hospital District, which is contributing $70.7 million to the Interior Heart and Surgical Centre Project.

“By being able to provide open heart surgery over two years before the Interior Heart and Surgical Centre is scheduled to open, we are well on our way to achieving significant improvements to health care in the region.”

The surgeries are taking place in two renovated operating rooms at Kelowna General Hospital while the Interior Heart and

Surgical Centre is being constructed.

The centre is scheduled to open in mid2015.

Approximately 600 cardiac surgeries per year are expected to be performed at Kelowna General Hospital, ensuring patients do not have to travel as far from their families to receive care.

Public Advisory Notice Cariboo Region Lake Aerators

The British Columbia Conservation Foundation (BCCF), under contract to the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations, advises that commencing in December lake aerators will be in operation on: • Irish Lake • Skulow Lake • Higgins Lake • Simon Lake The purpose of the lake aeration program is to minimize fish mortality associated with reduced oxygen levels during the winter months on lakes at high risk. During periods of operation, the aerator units will create areas of open water and weak ice. The BCCF would like to remind residents to stay away from safety fencing placed around the aerators. Also, as a reminder to anglers, it is unlawful to fish within 100m of any active aeration unit (see pg. 10, BC Freshwater Fishing Regulations Synopsis).

TEA TIME CHAT

NEWS TRU awards bursaries

2011 the TRU Foundation raised $3.2 million dollars for students, buildings and programs at TRU. “This milestone could not have been achieved without the continued support of our donors and the hard work and efforts of the volunteers and staff team,” said Christopher Seguin, TRU Vice-President, Advancement.

“Today, a learning community and a caring community come together to help people improve their lives,” Sanders said. “This, I believe, clearly symbolizes what TRU stands for. We should all be very proud of what the people in this room represent for TRU, Williams Lake and for higher education in general.”

REALTOR TIPS SELLING YOUR HOME DURING THE HOLIDAYS Christmas holiday season can be a great time to sell, if you are prepared. With gifts and decorations a major part of the holiday season, a home can quickly become cluttered; too many personal items can interfere, and on the flip side a home without any decorations can seem bleak. If you don’t celebrate Christmas, simply aim for a happy cheerful atmosphere.

Organizing outdoor decorations with colorful figurines on your lawn and small white lights on trees or boughs look festive and will help display your landscaping.

Small white lights can also look nice framing the edge of a roof, veranda or entryway and will highlight the architecture of your home.

Be sure your walkways are kept clear of ice and snow and are well lit for safety reasons.

Let me help you
