Winter roads can be a challenge

Sadly, an average of 34 people are killed and 7,110 injured in 4,740 crashes every December on B.C. roads, making it one of the highest months of the year for crashes.

Winter road conditions across B.C. can be both challenging and unpredictable.

ICBC is asking drivers who will be travelling over the holidays to get prepared and adjust their driving to the weather conditions.

“Winter weather has arrived in our province and it’s vital for drivers to be prepared,” said Mary Polak, Minister of Transportation and Infrastructure. “The safety of B.C. families is our top priority.

Drivebc.ca is a valuable resource and allows drivers to see what road conditions they might face on their trip so they can feel confident that they’re well prepared to get to their destination safely.”

“We want you to reach your destination alive,” said Shirley Bond, Minister of Justice and Attorney General. “Speeding in poor weather conditions is extremely danger-

ous and foolish, especially when you consider it’s a leading cause of death on our roads. Be prepared for the weather, slow down, stay sober, and take care of the precious holiday cargo you’re carrying in your vehicle – you and your family.”

“Whether you’re travelling a short distance to a family member’s home or longer for a ski hill getaway, we’re urging drivers to adjust their driving to the winter conditions across the province right now,” said John Dickinson, ICBC’s director of road safety.

“We want you and your family to enjoy the holidays and stay safe on our roads, so please make sure you and your vehicle are prepared for the trip and use extra care while driving.”

Here are ICBC’s tips to help drivers and their families stay safe on the road this winter: Know the path: Before you begin your trip, check the road and weather conditions on drivebc. ca for your entire route. Weather conditions can change drastically along your route so make

sure you’re prepared for all of the weather conditions you may encounter and give yourself extra travel time to get to your destination.

Get equipped: For your safety and the safety of other drivers, ICBC recommends using winter tires if you live in an area where you would normally expect a lot of snow or if you’ll be travelling to an area with these conditions.

Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure can designate snow tires to be required on certain roads and highways and if you are driving without them, police can ticket you and make you turn back.

Pre-trip check: Check your tire pressure as tires can deflate quickly in the cold and overinflated tires can reduce gripping. Use lowbeam lights in snowy conditions and don’t use cruise control on slippery roads. Keep your gas tank full to prevent freezing in extreme temperatures and pack an emergency kit in your vehicle in case you get stranded.

Adapt your driving: While pre-

paring your vehicle is vital, it isn’t enough to keep you safe. Drivers need to adjust their driving behaviour to the road conditions. For instance, a speed limit of 90 km/hr on a highway is for ideal conditions only. With conditions far from ideal right now, drivers need to slow down and increase their following distance so that they have time to react to the unexpected.

When things get slippery: While black ice is nearly impossible to see ahead of time, it is commonly found on roads with shaded areas, bridges, overpasses and intersections where vehicle exhaust and packed snow freezes quickly. If you drive over black ice and begin to skid, don’t use your brakes. Instead, ease off the accelerator and look and steer smoothly in the direction you want to go. You may need to repeat this manoeuvre several times until you regain control of your vehicle.

Agreement reached at Gibraltar After four-and-a-half months of negotiations, the 470 members of Canadian Auto Workers Local 3018 ratified a new collective agreement Dec. 21, 2012.

Local 3018 of the CAW represents the mine workers at Gibraltar Mines, a subsidiary of Teseko Mines. The vote was 88 per cent in favour of acceptance.

In a press release C.A.W. said wage and benefit improvements average more than 14 per cent over the fouryear term retroactive to the the expiry of the collective agreement June 1, 2012.

Many other improvements include a fairer process for training and the selection of apprentices, an increase in premiums and comprehensive anti-harassment language. There were no concessions.

Arnold Fontaine Chairperson of Local 3018 Negotiating Committee comments, “This was our first negotiations with the CAW and we were pleased with

the outcome. There is no doubt that we bargained everything we could short of a strike.

Although the membership was more than prepared to strike over the holidays, most were relieved this wasn’t necessary”.

Russell Hallbauer, president and chief executive officer, Taseko, said the company is pleased to have reached an agreement with its unionized employees.

“We believe the new deal is fair for our unionized employees and also provides Taseko with long-term, stable labour costs. Our workforce at Gibraltar has doubled in the last five years as the capital investments made

by Taseko have created long-term, well-paying jobs in the Cariboo region.”

The agreement is timely, he added. “With the new GDP3 project just weeks away from being handed over from the construction contractors to Gibraltar operations for ramp up.”

NEWS How Boxing Day got its name

Boxing Day was set aside specifically for punching Uncle Ernie in the nose for making disparaging remarks about her dry turkey stuffing. Or at least she fervently hoped it was the case. Otherwise her family had been participating in Boxing Day brawls all these years with no official endorsement to do so.

After a moment of stunned silence while we all mulled over this image, another friend informed us it was really called Boxing Day because all the Cousin Frans were out there returning and exchanging boxes of gifts that they wish they hadn’t received. It sounded a little closer to the truth than the Brawl Day theory, but a

needy. The boxes were opened on Christmas Day, and then the contents were handed out the day after.

Today gifts of money in the form of tips, bonuses and donations are always given out before Christmas and seldom are they in any kind of box, but after thousands of years of calling December 26th Boxing Day, Boxing Day it remains.

And now you know the true meaning behind

Boxing Day. So quit boxing Uncle Ernie in the nose and for heaven sakes Cousin Fran, just keep the gifts people were nice enough to give you. Even if you never take them out of their box.

Happy After Christmas to all and to all a good nap.

few clicks on the Internet ended up proving both theories wrong.

Boxing Day originated in Britain, where it is also known as St. Stephen’s Day. It was named after the ancient practice of giving cash or durable goods to the lower classes. Gifts between those of equal status were exchanged on or before Christmas Day, but gifts for the lower class were handed out the day after.

Way back in the days when the lords ruled over land holdings, manors and a host of servants, the day after Christmas was a time to bring all the servants and serfs together to hand out that year’s necessities. This was not an optional gift of thanks, but items the lords were obligated to give.

Things like cloth, food supplies, tools, etc. The items were put into boxes, one for each family, for the practical purpose of transporting the goods to their homes, and so the day came to be known as “Boxing Day.” Later in history, members of the merchant class gave gift boxes of

Most people know Boxing Day as simply the holiday they get for surviving Christmas. It makes sense, and goodness knows we need it, so why question its quirky name? If anything we might ponder why we aren’t given yet another holiday on December 27th as well. One day doesn’t seem enough recovery time for an event that took two months to plan. This year, the term Boxing Day aroused my curiosity. It only took five decades, but arouse my curiosity it finally did. An informal survey of friends came up with a few interesting ideas on the origins behind the name. One felt it was called Boxing Day because after weeks of forced cheerfulness, culminating in an entire of day of feeding and gifting relatives, only to have your culinary efforts denounced by Uncle Ernie, and your gift offerings trashed by Cousin Fran, a boxing match seemed like a good idea.

NEWS Keeping kids safe

Each year BC Children’s Hospital Emergency Department sees hundreds of children and youth for injuries resulting from winter sports.

These sports include ice hockey, ice skating, skiing, snowboarding, and tobogganing among others. Last winter, (Dec. 1, 2011 to Feb. 29, 2012) BC Ambulance Service responded to approximately 600 calls from places for recreation or sport related to children and youth (18 years of age or younger).

Of those calls, 550 were for traumatic injuries and falls.

BC Children’s Hospital and BC Ambulance Service have treated injuries including concussions as well as more severe brain injuries, facial and dental injuries, spi-

nal cord injuries, chest and abdominal injuries, broken bones and soft tissue injuries.

Winter sports can be a fun way for children and youth to stay active.

BCAS and BC Children’s have these tips to help children and youth enjoy winter activities safely: Kids need to wear the right and appropriatelysized protective equipment when participating in any winter sport. A properly-fitted helmet should be worn at all times, and is recommended for many sports.

Wrist guards are also a good idea for snowboarders since sprains and fractures are a commonly-experienced injury.

• Choose the right type of helmet and ensure it is

CSA approved. For skiing or snowboarding, use a ski or snowboard helmet. For ice hockey or ice skating, use an ice hockey helmet. A ski, hockey or bike helmet should be worn for tobogganing.

• Make sure kids learning a new activity get proper instruction and stay within their individual skill level.

Ensure kids get enough practice before trying to move on to an advanced skill level.

• For sports that involve going downhill, make sure kids know how to control their speed and stop properly, especially if they are just learning or have not mastered certain skills.

• When picking a slope for tobogganing, make sure it is

Drinking water protection Key sustainability planning issues for rural BC residents are part of a new study released today by the Fraser Basin Council’s Smart Planning for Communities (SPC) program.

The study, funded by the Pacific Institute for Climate Solutions (PICS), finds that communities in rural areas of the province consider protecting drinking water supplies (80 per cent) and pursuing economic diversification (60 per cent) as the most important aspects of a successful sustainability strategy. Over one hundred local government elected officials and staff, along with academics and consultants, participated in surveys and focus group sessions as part of this research.

“The future supply and quality of water are quickly becoming critical concerns as the climate changes, even in a temperate province like

Janette Moller Operations Manager

BC” says PICS executive director Tom Pedersen. “The impacts now upon us impose requirements to adapt that affect rural agriculture as much as they affect municipal supplies. This report reinforces the need for regional planning in BC that firmly recognizes the climate changes that are rushing down the pipeline towards us. ” The research shows differences between rural municipalities and regional districts. In addition to protecting drinking water supplies, regional district respondents chose protecting agricultural land and preventing rural sprawl as their top priorities.

Municipal respondents chose pursuing economic development and supporting higher density development suitable for a small town, as their top priorities, in addition to drinking water.

“Another strong message from the ru-

ral local governments regarding their ability to become sustainable communities is the importance of economic diversification, particularly the influence of natural resource based sectors, along with health and education - all of which are provincial jurisdiction.” says Joan Chess, lead researcher and sustainability facilitator with the Smart Planning for Communities Program.

The respondents also identified support from elected officials and community leaders (79 per cent), access to funding (78 per cent) and implementation costs (75 per cent) as the most important factors for choosing actions for a sustainability strategy in rural areas. The results of the research suggest that rural sustainability planning and the resulting processes, strategies and actions must be adapted to local circumstances to be effective.

away from roads and free from obstacles like rocks, trees, and fences.

Younger children should always be supervised by an adult. Never ride on a sled that is being pulled by anything motorized.

• Know the environment and the surrounding area where kids are going to be in when playing sports. For ex-

ample, local authorities will often help determine if ice is thick enough for outdoor skating. Stay in bounds when skiing/ snowboarding.

Parents and caregivers should learn first aid to know how to care for an injured child. More information is available from HealthLink BC atwww.healthlinkbc.ca or by calling 8-1-1.

Spread joy, not germs Kevin Touchet As we spread the joy of the season we need to be extra careful to not spread food-borne illness causing bacteria. These simple food safety tips will help you prepare a safe and tasty holiday meal: Store and thaw safely: Keep fresh turkey refrigerated no longer than three days before cooking. There are three ways to thaw frozen turkey in its wrapper: Under cold running water (one hour per pound); in a clean sink full of cold water, changing the water every couple of hours; in the fridge (five hours per pound);

thawing poultry at room temperature is not recommended because it allows harmful bacteria to grow; keep other items, especially those with meat, seafood, dairy, eggs or other moist, protein-rich foods chilled until served.

Clean carefully: Wash your hands, utensils and work surfaces well before prep work begins. Once the preparation work is done, clean surfaces in hot soapy water, rinse, then sanitize. Sanitizing can be done with a diluted bleach solution (30 ml of bleach per gallon of water) that is allowed to sit for two minutes.

Wash your hands well after cleaning the cutting

board and before and after working with any new menu items.

Avoid cross contamination: Store raw meat away from food that is readyto-eat, including fruit and vegetables (and be sure to wash these thoroughly before serving). Turkeys should be wrapped well and stored on the lowest shelf of your fridge or in the meat keeper to keep blood and juices from contaminating other food.

Ensure only clean utensils and cutting boards are used. Use a separate cutting board to prepare raw meat. Wash hands after handling any raw foods and minimize hand contact during final prepara-

tion steps.

Cook well: For turkey, set the oven at no lower than 350 °F (177 °C) and cook for about 20 minutes per pound. Use a good meat thermometer to measure the turkey’s internal temperature and ensure it’s safe to eat. All parts of the bird including stuffing should be at least 165°F (74oC) when removed from the oven.

Health Canada recommends an internal temperature of 185°F (85 °C) at the thickest part of the meat as additional assurance.

Check the temperature in several places to be sure. Cooked food should be kept at 140 °F (60 °C)

while waiting to serve.

Refrigerate: Chill food immediately after returning from the store and soon after dinner is complete. Perishable food should be placed in the refrigerator within two hours of being removed from the oven. Refrigerate at 40°F (4°C) or in a freezer at 0°F (-18 °C).

Health Canada recommends refrigerating leftovers for no more then two to three days. Put them in the freezer in order to keep them longer.

Have a happy and healthy holiday season!

Earnings exemptions a positive step forward

The B.C. government’s move toward annualized earnings exemptions, which begins in January 2013, is being welcomed as a positive step forward for British Columbians on disability assistance.

Annualized earnings exemptions give individuals on disability assistance the flexibility to calculate exempted

earnings on an annual basis if they choose.

This option is beneficial for people with episodic medical conditions that prevent them from working consistently to make the most of earnings exemptions.

“This is good news for those whose ability to earn fluctuates from month to month,” said Social Development

$600,000

and the ability to claim an annual exemption is a very positive step forward,” said Jane Dyson of the B.C. Coalition of People with Disabilities. “Someone with a disability who can work will have more flexibility to work when they are able to and pursue their own goals.”

Kendra Milne of the Community Legal As-

sistance Society agrees.

“The availability of annualized earnings exemptions will provide greater flexibility for people whose ability to work varies over time because of their disability,” Milne said.

“They will be better able to take advantage of earnings exemptions through an annualized system.”

Install smoke alarms on every level of the home and outside each sleeping area. For the best protection, install interconnected smoke alarms in each bedroom and throughout the home. When one sounds, they all sound.

Test alarms once a month. Change batteries at least once a year. Replace alarms every ten years.

Consider installing smoke alarms with a “long-life” (10-year) battery. These alarms must be tested once a month.

Consider installing a residential automatic fire sprinkler system.

Plan and practice your family’s escape route. Make sure every room has two ways out. Make sure all doors and windows open easily. Consider escape ladders for upper floors and make sure security bars on your doors and windows open easily from the inside. Remember to plan for your pets.

Never use flammable liquids inside and store them in approved containers in well-ventilated areas. Safely discard all rags or materials that have been soaked in flammable liquids outside in a metal container.

Inspect your chimney regularly. Clear any branches and debris from the chimney area. Make sure your chimney is at least three feet taller than the roof, insulated, and equipped with spark arresters on top.

Keep space heaters at least three feet from combustibles and away from open flames.

Keep matches and lighters up high, away from children’s sight and reach.

If you smoke, smoke outside. Use large deep, sturdy ashtrays.

Stay in the kitchen when you are frying, grilling, or broiling food. If you leave the kitchen for even a short period of time, turn off the stove. If you are simmering, boiling, baking or roasting food, check it regularly, remain in the home while food is cooking, and use a timer to remind you that the stove or oven is on.

Have an electrician check and maintain the wiring in your building. Inspect cords for frayed or exposed wiring and loose plugs. Do not run wires or cords under rugs, over nails, or across high-traffic areas. Do not overload extension cords. Make sure insulation does not touch bare electrical wiring.

Inspect and clean dryer filters and exhaust frequently.

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

Premier ponders black ink, oil Premier Christy Clark has completed the traditional round of year-end interviews with legislative press gallery reporters. Here are excerpts from my discussion with her, dealing with the Enbridge oil pipeline proposal and the balanced budget her government has promised to present in February.

TF: On the Enbridge project, are you getting the answers you want on safety?

PCC: No, we’re not.

We’ve set out our position.

The five conditions need to be met, period.

[B.C.’s conditions are “world-class” land and marine spill prevention and response, meeting legal obligations for aboriginal consultation, passing federal-provincial environmental assessment and a “fair share” of financial benefits.]

PCC: We need the oil patch producers, the Alberta government and the federal government to come to the table.

We’ve been cross-examining Enbridge. We have not been getting any of the answers that we hoped to get. We haven’t gained a lot of comfort from that process. And none of the other conditions are even close to being met.

We are doing our own study of marine traffic. We want to understand the total number of ships that are out there plying our coast right now. Because all of them have fuel in them, and some are cargo ships that are big enough to have enough [bunker] fuel as a minitanker would.

Part of this is trying to understand where our level

B.C. VIEWS TOM FLETCHER

of Coast Guard protection needs to be today, in order to protect us should there be a spill from the existing traffic.

TF: Balancing the budget: the finance ministry’s current projections call for an upturn in natural gas royalties in the coming year.

With the current glut of gas, isn’t that kind of farfetched?

PCC: It is going to be difficult to present a balanced budget, but I think, because we’re going to build in some [forecast] allowance, as we always do, and because we’re going to be completely transparent about the assumptions that have led us there, and because we aren’t going to fiddle with any of

the assumptions that we receive from the experts in the Ministry of Finance, it’s going to be quite clear that we have done it. We have come by a balanced budget honestly.

So when it comes to natural gas, you know that the assumption we use in the budget is based on a fairly complex formula that the Ministry of Finance has relied on for probably a decade now. We don’t fiddle with that.

There are those who would say we should artificially lower the [revenue

projection] number that we use. But if you artificially lower it, what’s to stand in the way of artificially raising it? You either accept the advice of your experts or you don’t. And they’re the experts, not the politicians.

TF: Right now we have a deficit gap of more than a billion dollars. Can that be closed without significant spending cuts, or tax increases, or both?

PCC: You will see when we get to the budget. And it will be absolutely transparent how we got there.

[Laughs] Nice try.

TF: If the B.C. Liberals form a government in May, will the election date be changed so we don’t have to have this discussion about questionable spring election budgets?

PCC: It’s not part of the plan today, but I’m sure it’s a discussion we’ll have in the next four years. I know that people have talked about it. I’m open to it. I’m not wedded to this particular date.

Next week I’ll have highlights from my year-end interview with NDP leader Adrian Dix.

Health-care employees support agreement Employees in the largest health care bargaining association voted in favour of a new agreement, reached under government’s Cooperative Gains Mandate.

Employees represented by the Facilities Bargaining Association voted in favour of a new two-year agreement that includes a modest three per cent wage increase,

ensures job security and realizes savings throughadministrative efficiencies in the benefit plans.

“I applaud the parties for their hard work in reaching an agreement that meets the needs of a very diverse group of employees and ensures patient services are protected,” said Health Minister Margaret MacDiarmid.

“This agreement now means that the vast majority of health unions have reached agreements and shows that with both parties working together, it’s possible to reach deals.”

The Facilities Bargaining Association represents over 46,000 health-care workers in more than 270 different jobs across the health-care system

including nursing, ambulance service, health records, trades, maintenance, housekeeping, payroll and more.

“Agreements such as this show that the Cooperative Gains Mandate can lead to negotiated settlements throughout B.C.’s public sector, and that significant progress is being made despite the tough fis-

cal environment,” said Finance Minister Michael de Jong. “I encourage employers and unions across the public sector to continue negotiating, because agreements can be reached.”

Agreements with three of five health sector bargaining associations have now been reached, covering over 70 per cent of employees in the sec-

tor. In addition to the Facilities Bargaining Association, agreements have also been reached with the Nurse Bargaining Association, which included a three per cent wage increase, and the Professional Association of Residents - BC, which included a 2.8 per cent wage increase.

The agreement was reached under the B.C. government’s 2012

Cooperative Gains Mandate.

The mandate gives public sector employers the flexibility to find savings from existing budgets to fund modest wage increases in a waythat does not add pressure to the government’s bottom line, does not add costs for taxpayers or ratepayers, and does not sacrifice services to British Columbians.

Without a doubt, Christmas is the Heavy Weight Champ of all the holidays. Between the Christmas sales ads, the TV Specials, every singer’s Christmas album, the Christmas movies, the food, gifts, and traditions... no other holiday even comes close to the hype, promotion and overall airtime of Christmas. Simply put, Christmas is MASSIVE! However, the most powerful and integral essence of Christmas can be summed up in one word...“Incarnation.”

Incarnation comes from the Latin meaning “in flesh”. The Incarnation means that two distinct natures (divine and human) are united in one person: Jesus. He is not two people (God and man). He is one person: the God-man. The interesting thing is that God cannot cease to be God. In other words, when Jesus became flesh he did not commit divine suicide. Take a deep breath and ponder what this means.

Max Lucado put it this way,“The allpowerful, in one instant, made himself breakable. He who had been spirit became pierceable. He who was larger than the universe became an embryo.

And he who sustains the world with a word chose to be dependent upon the nourishment of a young girl. God as a fetus. Holiness sleeping in a womb.

The creator of life being created.

God was given eyebrows, elbows, two

PARSONS PEN

BY REVEREND BUBBA kidneys, and a spleen. He stretched against the walls and floated in the amniotic fluids of his mother” What does the God-man, Jesus experience throughout his life? At conception, God became a fertilized egg, an embryo, a fetus. God kicked Mary from within her womb! At his birth, God entered the world as a baby, in a stable, complete with cobwebs, prickly hay and stinking of manure.

Mary cradled God, the Creator in her arms thinking,“I never imagined God would look like this.” Try to think of the newborn Jesus with a misshaped head, pruny skin, and a red face just like any other baby. Imagine the angels of Heaven watching on as Mary changed God’s diapers! During his

infancy, God learned to crawl, stand, and walk. He spilled his milk, fell often and hit his head. As a youth, he might have been uncoordinated. Due the stories surrounding his birth, perhaps Jesus knew the pain of always being picked on.

He had to learn to read and write.

God learned his ABC’s! As a teenager, Jesus probably had pimples, body odor and bad breath. Imagine...God went through puberty!

His voice changed. He had to shave.

Girls probably had a crush on him and boys probably teased him. Jesus as an adult was a carpenter, a business man.

He had calloused hands. He dealt with customers who tried to cheat him or complained about his work. How did he react when they shortchanged him?

Why would the almighty God go through all this? The answer to this question is what Christmas is all about. He did it for you and me! It was an expression of the depths of his love for you that God entered the depths of human ugliness, human weakness, and human humiliation.

He did it not so that he could understand us, but that we could understand him, and the depths of his love for us. As you gather with your family this Christmas season, meditate on the implications of this most amazing facet of the Christmas message.

Tuesday, Jan. 1 Williams Lake Polar Bear Swim For those brave enough, or even those who just want to come out and witness the spectacle, the 13th annual Williams Lake Rustlers Rugby Football Club’s is coming up Jan. 1, New Year’s day.

Brad Bulow, WLRRFC member and swim organizer, said there’s really no better way to ring in the new year than participating, or seeing, the action go down at Scout Island on Williams Lake.

Close to 100 swimmers annually experience the ice-cold waters of Williams Lake — the largest Polar Bear Swim outside the Lower Mainland.

“Everyone’s welcome,” Bulow said.

“Sign up is at 12:30 p.m.

Take the plunge at 1 p.m.”

Public Bowling OPEN PLAY

Monday - 6:00 pm to 9:00 pm Tuesday - 1:00 pm to 9:00 pm Wednesday - 1:00 pm to 9:00 pm Thursday - 1:00 pm to 6:30 pm Friday - 3:30 pm to 10:00 pm Saturday - 1:00 pm to 5:00 pm & 7:00 pm to 10:00 pm Sunday - 1:00 pm to 4:30 pm

Cosmic Bowling

Proceeds from the event will go toward youth rugby programs in Williams Lake.

During, or prior the swim, participants are asked to collect pledges.

Bulow said in the past there have been some interesting pledge ideas concocted.

“There are guys who have, in the past, done a by-the-minute pledge where they’ll go around and ask people if they’d be willing to pledge them for $10 a minute or something, and they’ll stay in the lake for four minutes, and get a $40 donation,” he said.

“This year the Williams Lake Boy Scouts are going to be a part of it, too.

“The boys I guess told their leaders they were interested in doing the swim and fundraising and they got a hold of me, and they’ll be do-

nating half of what they raise to youth rugby and the other half will go to scouts.”

Prizes will also be awarded for best costumes, high pledge earners and more.

Thursday, Jan. 3 to Friday, Jan. 4 Free hockey camp The Punky Lake Wilderness Camp Society, in partnership with BC Aboriginal Sports, is hosting a free two-day hockey camp at the Cariboo Memorial Recreation Complex.

The camp goes from Jan. 3-4. Registration can be completed at the CMRC. The camp is for any youth under 18.

The camp aims to introduce high level hockey to eligible players to on- and off-ice aspects of the game. For more information visit http:// w w w. b c h o c k e y. n e t / HighPerformance/FemaleHPUnder16.aspx.

News

Canada-wide campaign launched to stand up for wild salmon Days before the end of 2012, a campaign has been launched that calls for Canadians to stop purchasing and consuming salmon that has been raised in open-net feedlots.

SalmonFeedlotBoycott .com (SFB) is hoping to make 2013 the year that Canadians stand up to protect wild salmon, lobster, the marine environment, and the thousands of jobs that rely on them. In time for the New Year, SFB is encouraging Canadians to join this campaign as their New Year’s resolution.

There is growing concern on both the East and West Coasts of Canada that wild fisheries and marine environments are being irreversibly harmed by industrial salmon feedlots. These feedlots are industrial livestock operations in the ocean, with up to one million fish raised at a single site.

Anissa Reed, coordinator of SalmonFeedlotBoycott .com commented, “Many years ago I used to manage an Atlantic salmon ‘farm’ so I know the nature of the beast.

Today they still use open nets, they are still crowded feedlots, and the fish waste and excess feed fall to the sea floor.

I have travelled all over British Columbia and, more recently, into communities throughout Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. The faces of the people who know what is happening haunt me.”

Reed added, “This

boycott is a platform for stories to be told on our social media pages, and the public can then participate and choose what they want for themselves and this country. I see this industry as a predator.

“They lobby the government for access into our communities with promises of good jobs, and pit neighbour against neighbour. They spend millions on advertising campaigns saying it is good for us, but I have seen, and believe, otherwise.”

Despite recent findings by the federal Cohen Commission of Inquiry into the Decline of Sockeye Salmon in the Fraser River, salmon farm leases continue to be granted by provincial governments for high-risk locations and no actions have been taken on the federal inquiry’s recommendations.

This campaign follows decades of attempts to negotiate with the industry and have government

honour their own numerous reviews that recommended getting salmon feedlots away from wild fisheries.

People have become more aware of the potential severe consequences of the practice of raising salmon in floating feedlots on Canada’s east and west coasts.

“While salmon feedlots have been contentious on the West Coast for a long time, this issue is rapidly becoming a hot topic on the East Coast with the increased rates of feedlot site lease applications and the growing awareness of the impacts these operations have on wild salmon, lobster, and coastal habitat,” stated Inka Milewski, New Brunswick-based SalmonFeedlotBoycott .com supporter and marine science advisor to community groups.

SFB is interested in spreading the boycott message throughout Canada but is also conscious of the global implications of salmon

feedlots, since wild salmon go into decline wherever open net-pen salmon farms operate.

There is also a boycott underway in Ireland.

Polling undertaken last month by SalmonFeedlotBoycott .com indicated just over half of Canadians would support boycotting farmed salmon.

Support for a boycott is highest in the Maritimes, Quebec and B.C. The most frequently cited reasons for supporting a boycott were: concerns related to the products used to kill sea lice harming lobster; a diminished wild salmon population will impact orcas, eagles and grizzly bears; concerns about viruses in food; and the knowledge that wherever salmon farms operate wild populations are in decline.

The campaign website at www.salmonfeedlotboycott.com provides a series of easy-to-deploy actions designed to help educate Canadians and pressure politicians

and other regulators into taking action.

Canadians who want to demonstrate their concern and have their voice heard can: • Boycott the purchase and consumption of farmed salmon • Ask markets and restaurants not to carry the product • Check the label on your pet’s food and avoid farmed salmon • Educate friends about the issue • Sign SFB’s petition and/or write a letter to federal members of parliament Ongoing and informed conversation

by Canadians with their supermarkets, pet food manufacturers, fishmongers and government is an important starting point for positive change.

In addition to asking Canadians to embrace their call for action as a New Year’s Resolution, a series of educational activities to raise awareness of the impacts of salmon feedlots are planned over the next several months.

Humane Society Even at Christmas, some people can still find time to be cruel to animals. When a woman went to the dumpster behind her building, amidst all the bags of garbage, she heard a frantic cry for help. Tearing open the bag, she found a beautiful orange ball of fur inside. Bedraggled and helpless, someone had

left this poor little ten week old kitten to die of cold and starvation.

How could someone do this at Christmas or for that matter at any time of year? Now warm and safe, as we search for a permanent loving family for him, we need to provide him with food, shelter and veterinary care. Not only does this cute little guy need

Making spirits bright

your help, but we need to work harder to track down and punishh those criminals responsible, because you and I are all that stand between animals and those who want to harm them.

Dubbed, “Rudolph” after his namesake who led Santa and his reindeer to safety bringing toys and happiness to children all over the world,

“Rudolph” is a beacon of hope for other animals just like him, orphaned, abandoned and alone in the night. Your kindness and your donations are hard at work caring for orphans of the night like “Rudolph” and with your help The Humane Society of Canada can help even more animals during this Christmas Season and the Holidays.

The Sutton Cariboo Realty team of (from left) Becky Waterhouse, Susan Colgate, Court Smith and Pauline Colgate donated a box of toys and food donations to the Salvation Army through its food drive earlier this month.

Anyone who brought in a donation to the Salvation Army won a gift certificate from one of: 150 Tire Store, Margetts Meats, Bob’s Shoes, Beaver Valley Feeds, Western Wood Heat or Windsor Plywood.

Williams Lake Polar Bear swim goes Jan. 1 For those brave enough, or even those who just want to come out and witness the spectacle, the 13th annual Williams Lake Rustlers Rugby Football Club’s is coming up Jan. 1, New Year’s day.

Brad Bulow, Williams Lake Rustlers member and swim organizer, said there’s really no better way to ring in the new year than participating, or seeing, the action go down at Scout Island on Williams Lake.

Close to 100 swimmers annually experience the ice-cold waters of Williams Lake — the largest Polar Bear Swim outside the Lower Mainland.

“Everyone’s welcome,” Bulow said.

“Sign up is at 12:30 p.m. Take the plunge at 1 p.m.”

Proceeds from the event will go toward youth rugby programs

in Williams Lake. Additionally during, or prior the swim, participants are asked to collect pledges.

Bulow said in the past there have been some interesting pledge ideas concocted.

“There are guys who have, in the past, done a by-the-minute pledge where they’ll go around and ask people if they’d be willing to pledge them for $10 a minute or something, and they’ll stay in the lake for four minutes, and get a $40 donation,” he said.

“This year the Williams Lake Boy Scouts are going to be a part of it, too.

“The boys I guess told their leaders they were interested in doing the swim and fundraising and they got a hold of me, and they’ll be donating half of what they raise to youth rugby and the

other half will go to scouts.”

Prizes will also be awarded for best costumes, high pledge earners and more.

And just to ensure everyone stays safe during the swim, the Rustlers have put out a request for a lifeguard and notified the BC Ambulance Service to be on hand just in case.

Additionally, hot beverages will be served, and semitrailer warming huts equipped with carpets and propane heaters, will be parked on site.

Bulow added swimmers should also bring a change of warm clothes, two towels, two pairs of shoes and a lawn chair to use in the warming trailers.

If anyone is interested in volunteering for the event they are asked to contact Bulow at 250-267-1725 as volunteer positions are still available.

Invasive fish fines will bite wallet TOM FLETCHER Black Press Releasing a snakehead fish into B.C. waters could cost you up to $250,000.

The B.C. government has amended its controlled alien species regulation to impose steep fines for releasing invasive fish such as the snakehead, a Chinese import with a voracious appetite and the ability to wiggle across land to get to new waterways.

A snakehead fish discovered in a pond

in Burnaby Central Park in June forced environment ministry biologists to pump the lake level down so it could be captured. The toothy beasts were being imported and sold alive in Asian specialty food stores.

The new regulations also aim to stop the spread of zebra or quagga mussels that can attach themselves to boats and equipment and infest lakes.

Failure to remove those mussels, alive or dead, can trigger a fine of up to $100,000.

“The impact of the snakehead and zebra mussel in other jurisdictions has been devastating to those local ecosystems,” Environment Minister Terry Lake said Thursday, announcing the latest changes.

The regulations also prohibit possession and breeding of identified high-risk aquatic species. They expand the reach of legislation passed in 2009 that restricted ownership and breeding of tigers, snakes, crocodiles and a long list of

Life about the choices we make STEVE HAKES Special to The Tribune Salvation Army addictions counsellor In April, 2012 the Salvation Army began delivering an eight week intensive non-residential treatment program to help those experiencing the damaging and debilitating effects from substance abuse.

With the exception of the excellent service being provided to families and female youth through the Nenqayni Wellness Centre Society’s Residential Treatment Program there is no other similar service being provided in our region at this time that this writer is aware of.

Our Eight Week Intensive Non-Residential

Treatment Program charges a base fee of $30 per day for a total cost of $1,200 for our eight week (40 day) program.

B.C.’s restrictions for private zoos were passed after a woman was killed by a Bengal tiger kept in a cage at an exotic animal attraction on a farm near 100 Mile House in 2007.

The new regulations add definitions for “accredited zoo or aquarium” as well as

schools and research facilities that are permitted to possess exotic animals for study purposes.

The regulation requires owners of controlled species to apply for permits.

Conservation officers have authority to seize animals that are considered an immediate threat to health and safety of people.

Female U16 camp coming up Jan. 5-6 Williams Lake will play host to one of three regional 2013 Female U16 High Performance hockey camps in January.

The camp, scheduled for Jan. 5-6 at the Cariboo Memorial Recreation Complex, has been established to introduce eligible athletes to high performance hockey focusing on both on- and off-ice aspects of the game.

In an effort to emulate national and international women’s hockey competitions, eligible players are invited to their zone’s U16 camp.

At the zone camps all player are given the opportunity to represent their zones at the U16 High Performance provincial competition.

There is a learning component to the U16 Zone Camps. The players will be coached and evaluated by High Performance staff members and given lessons on proper warm up technique, nutrition, strength and conditioning and game play. The importance of fitness is

stressed as well as the need to have a year long training plan in place.

The U16 level is the second stage of the Female High Performance Program. It builds on the concepts introduced at the U14 level and is intended as a lead in to the final phase of the program, the U18 level. From the athletes’ perspective the U16 level includes both on and off ice components. On-ice, the focus is on individual and team tactics necessary to be successful at the high performance level. Off-ice training includes proper warm up and cool down techniques, nutrition for high performance athletes, strength and conditioning, mental preparation and fitness testing. The need for a yearly plan that incorporates all of the on and off ice components is stressed as the player transitions from the Learning to Train phase to the Training to Train phase of the Long Term Athlete Development Model.

All eligible athletes are encouraged to attend the

camp. Along with the on and off ice content noted above, there is an important evaluation component to the camps. High performance evaluators and team staff will select zone teams at the conclusion of the camps. Selected athletes will advance as a team to the provincial competition which alternates yearly between the BC Cup and the BC Winter Games.

Every other year BC Hockey partners with the BC Games society making it possible for successful players from the Female U16 Zone Development Camps to compete in the BC Winter Games. The Female U16 program alternates years between the U16 BC Cup and the Winter Games. In 2013, the program will compete in the U16 BC Cup.

THREE-BEDROOM FAMILY HOME A porch, a patio and a sundeck offer a range of options for outdoor living in this attractive threebedroom family home.

Just off the foyer, on the ground floor, french doors lead into the study, where an attractive window alcove provides the ideal spot for a quiet read. This room also has a cupboard, usable for either homeoffice files or as a clothes closet, if an extra bedroom is needed.

Stairs lead up to the second floor, where the great room complex stretches from the front to the back of the house. Multiple windows, sliding glass doors and glass blocks in the kitchen will ensure the whole area is bathed in natural light.

The great room itself has a fireplace and an unusual box vault ceiling that will add a touch of elegance.

The spacious breakfast room opens on to a partly covered sun deck at the back of the house. This is the ideal spot to enjoy outdoor meals during the warmer months, and the covered area will accommodate year-round grilling.

Arranging the bedroom furniture in the large master suite will be easy, thanks to the boxedout window at the front. The plan includes an alternative, slightly larger, layout for the ensuite

bathroom. The main bathroom separates the two secondary bathrooms.

Exterior finishes include stone accents and horizontal siding.

This home measures 47 feet, four inches wide by 43 feet, 10 inches deep, for a total of 1,494 square feet.

Plans for design 2-3-706 are available for $567 (set of 5), $636 (set of 8) and $675 for a super set of 10.

Also add $30.00 for Priority charges within B.C. or $55.00 outside of B.C. Please add 12% H.S.T., 13% H.S.T. Or 5% G.S.T (where applicable) to both the plan price and Priority charges.
