Fraud scams take many forms MONICA LAMB-YORSKI Fraud Prevention Month is an annual event that gives private and public organizations involved in the fight against fraud an opportunity to further raise public awareness.

During the month of March, media in Williams Lake is collaborating with the Williams Lake RCMP to focus on the top 10 scams.

On Mar. 8 the focus was on advertising trolls, online romance scams and internet investment fraud, says Safer Communities coordinator Dave Dickson.

This week three areas are explored — affinity fraud, curbers and computer virus fixing schemes.

Affinity fraud is a financial scam and happens when scam artists target a group of people who know each other, reports the Better Business Bureau.

The investment scheme they are promoting may change over time but the methods are normally the same.

Success is gained by earning the trust of an influential person in a

Safer Communities co-ordinator Dave Dickson (left) and Citizens on Patrol chair Andy Sullivan warn of fraud. group, family or workplace.

Once they establish the bond they use the connection to get their hands on the money of other people in the group.

Be aware if a new group member starts talking about wealthbuilding investment and asks to keep it hush, hush because it’s an exclusive offer for people “in the know.”

The scammer might use ethnici-

ty, religion, occupation or anything else, to help claim to have something in common with a target to gain trust.

To learn more go to www.investment.org.

The second scam “curbers,” falls under sales scams.

Curbers are unlicensed used-car traffickers who often acquire junk cars and try to sell them from parking lots or curbsides, advertising often in local newspapers on-line ads. Unfortunately the used car may turn out to have a lien on it, the vehicle identification number switched, the odometer rolled back, or in some cases, turn out to be stolen.

Often the price is too good to be true or the seller has some sad story, the Better Business Bureau warns.

The curber will not meet at their home and always insists on cash.

There’s always the name on the vehicle documents too. They should match the name of the seller.

Report curbers and find a licensed dealer at www.vehiclesalesauthority.com.

Finally the top home improvement scam - rogue door to door contractors.

Again offers are too good to be true.

These types of offers include a deal to seal or repave your driveway, a roofer with leftover material from a previous job, an unscheduled furnace repair or a gas fireplace inspection.

“These fraudulent contractors use high pressure sales tactics and offers of a one-time deal to entice or frighten consumers into expensive and often unnecessary home repairs,” the BBB says.

Due diligence is crucial when hiring contractors.

Get company names and addresses, a written contract, and be leery if asked to pay by cash or cheque with a promise the contractor will return to finish the job.

Direct sales contracts are regulated in B.C. and customers have 10 days to cancel by advising the company.

Information is available at Consumer Protection BC 1-88856409963 or visit www.consumerprotectionbc.ca.

Come and see what you’ve been missing.

Fill your days with worthwhile activities and entertainment.

Tortoise missing for 30 years found and other reasons to spring clean Years ago when our oldest son was just over two years old and I was seven months pregnant with our second, we had to sell our entire flock of chickens because we were moving to town.

When the people came to pick up the chickens Darcy was at work.

The couple took in my enormous belly and the toddler wrapped around my knee and insisted I just point the way to the coop and they would take it from there.

For the next couple of weeks I kept having a dream—or more like a nightmare—that they had left some chickens behind and now they were out in the coop without any feed or water.

I finally had to

SLICE OF LIFE SHANNON McKINNON

struggle through the snow drifts to see for myself that the coop was, indeed, empty.

Years later when we had sheep I would dream that I had left a ewe in the barn after lambing and forgot about her.

The flock had long since left the winter corral to graze on the hillside, but in my dream somehow this poor ewe and her pair of lambs had been abandoned in their

stall. Of course the barn was empty.

Once I talked to a rancher who admitted having the same type of dream about leaving a cow locked in a barn for months.

Another had actually left a horse in a barn by itself for almost a week. He thought his brother was looking after it, and the brother thought he was. Thankfully the horse survived by licking frost off the window, but it still left the brothers—and no doubt the horse—shaken.

Just a couple weeks ago I dreamt I had forgotten to feed the fish in our aquarium. In my dream the fish were still alive, but half the water had evaporated from their tank and when I rushed to feed them they were fero-

cious in their hunger.

We haven’t even had an aquarium for almost a decade. At least I hope we haven’t.

The worst thing that ever really happened was when Shoeless the cat went missing for a day and a half.

On the afternoon of day two I opened the door to the storage shed and a blur of fur sailed past my ankles.

To this day Shoeless keeps a wary distance whenever I open the shed door. Strangely enough, I never even dreamt he was in the shed.

I just read about a story that makes all these dreams—and even the story about the poor horse and Shoeless the cat’s day and a half in the shed— pale in comparison.

This story is about

Manuela, a pet tortoise who disappeared from her home in Rio De Janeiro in 1982 while the house was undergoing renovations.

The family carried out a lengthy search but finally came to the sad conclusion that one of the construction workers must have left the front door open and the tortoise had somehow walked away.

Thirty years later, Leonel the father, passed away and his four children began the difficult task of cleaning out their childhood home.

Most daunting of all, was the second-floor storage room their father had filled with electrical items. His daughter recalled how her father had been in the habit of bringing broken things home,

the storage room.

Apparently red-footed tortoises can go for long periods without eating and have been known to survive for two to three years without any food at all... but three decades? The only plausible explanation is that Manuela survived by eating termites from the wooden components of the old television and radio sets and perhaps from the wooden floors.

So if you’ve ever had a pet tortoise go missing, you might want to be a bit more thorough during the upcoming spring cleaning. You never know what you might find. I, on the other hand, am pretty sure what I am going to dream about tonight.

The field of synthetic biology combines science and engineering.

It relies on the great advances in genetics and nanotechnology (dealing with the manipulation of atoms and molecules). The far-ranging goal of synthetic biology is to be able to use a patient’s cells to grow a new kidney or other organs not functioning well.

March is National Kidney Month in Canada. We are a decade or more away from growing new kidneys for people but for now we can still sign up for organ donation upon our death. There are many more people waiting for a new kidney than there are donors. Sign up to be an organ donor today.

Increasingly more Canadians are living 100 years or more. People get to be this old through the usual good nutrition and regular exercise. But other conditions also contribute to longevity: being married; living in the same geographical area most of your life; getting a good night’s sleep (at least 8 hours) and not smoking.

Louis Pasteur, in 1862, first used heat to prevent beer and wine from going sour. This process, called pasteurization, is used today to keep bacterial levels low. In Canada, all milk intended for consumption must be pasteurized. The milk is exposed to heat of at least 72°C for at least 16 seconds. It is then cooled to 4°C to ensure most harmful bacteria are destroyed.

with the idea of fixing them.

“If he found an old television he thought he might be able to use a part of it to fix another one in the future, so he just kept accumulating things. We never dared go inside that room,” she said.

Leonel’s son, Leandro had just finished packing a box containing a broken record player to the curb when a neighbour who was watching the proceedings inquired, “Are you throwing the tortoise out too?”

Sure enough, there was Manuela in the box, thirty years older but still very much alive.

The children were thrilled to have their pet back, but shocked at how he managed to survive for 30 years in

News New Prosperity interested party list grows

smoked salmon appetizer anyone?

Twenty additional applicants have been granted interested party status in the environmental panel review of the New Prosperity Mine project even though their applications were received beyond the Oct. 12 deadline.

“Each applicant included an explanation as to why the submission was late,” said panel chair Bill Ross in a letter dated March 8.

He said the panel

considered the new applications in light of its mandate under the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act, 2012 (the Act) and its Terms of Reference. That brings the number of individuals and organizations with interested party status to 49. The proponent Taseko Mines Ltd., 11 federal and provincial government agencies, and 14 First Nations were previously guaranteed the status.

Cabinet backs Clark in ethnic vote flap Tom Fletcher Black Press B.C. Liberal MLAs held an extended caucus meeting Monday to deal with the fallout from a leaked plan to use government resources to boost the party’s popularity with ethnic communities.

Cabinet ministers held a hastily arranged meeting in Vancouver Sunday, and emerged united in support of Clark, who offered a personal apology before a crowd of reporters Sunday evening.

Going into the legislature Monday, Chilliwack MLA John Les said he continues to support Clark’s leadership, but he expected a frank discussion behind closed doors on how the government should handle the controversy.

“You’re not going to move forward as a party if you can’t be honest with each other,” Les said.

One disputed point is a plan to make an apology in the legislature for the “head tax” on Chinese immigrants, imposed by Ottawa from 1885 to 1935. Such apologies are

proposed in the strategy document as “quick wins” before the May 14 provincial election.

Vancouver-Fraserview MLA Kash Heed objected to the move on the weekend, telling CKNW radio that such an apology would be “hollow.”

In a terse statement issued Friday afternoon, Clark announced that she has accepted the resignation of her long-time assistant, Kim Haakstad, who distributed the ethnic voter plan to party and government staff via their personal e-mail

addresses.

Haakstad, Clark’s deputy chief of staff, and “outreach” staff from the premier’s office are subject to an internal investigation ordered by Clark Thursday. John Dyble, head of the public service, is to examine whether government resources were redirected to help deliver ethnic votes to the B.C. Liberal Party.

A 2012 draft strategy memo leaked to the NDP opposition discusses ways to improve the governing party’s popularity with immigrant communities, includ-

ing recruiting new members and spokespeople to call and write to ethnic media outlets. Clark issued an apology for the document, read in the legislature Thursday by Deputy Premier Rich Coleman.

“The document did not recognize there are lines that cannot be crossed in conducting this outreach [to ethnic communities] and it is unacceptable,” the statement says.

“The language in this draft document and some of the recommendations are absolutely inappropriate.”

Sally the Sandpaper Travelling has always been part of my life. It helps that my mom lives in Australia. That I studied in Rome for a couple of years, and of course, that one of my favorite hideouts is Fiji.

Of all the journeys, however, the greatest is the journey within.

This journey is a relationship with Jesus Christ (God), and the more I continue to travel with Jesus, the more my world is turned upside down and inside out.

The experiences that I continue to glean are fascinating, paradoxical, and full of irony. This journey is one which, at times, the stomach meets the throat on a rollercoaster ride. It is filled with twists, turns, ups and downs, but I love it.

One example of how my world is turned upside down can be explained by a beautiful analogy given by a spiritual master Saint John of the Cross. Saint John describes that we are like a block of marble ready to be shaped.

There will be people who come across your path who will rub you the wrong way. These people are like sandpaper. Other people will get under your skin and drive you up the wall. These people are like chisels. Other people will annoy you. These people are like

BY Father Derrick jackhammers.

St. John says God uses all these instruments to shape and mould us into the perfect image that we are called to be.

We react insisting God remove these people out of our way. We want these people to change their irritating habits. But with that type of attitude, we may never be formed properly.

You may have a rough edge of impatience, so God sends Sally the Sandpaper to smoothen that rough edge. You may have a lopsided corner of negativity, so

God sends Charlie the Chisel.

You may have a jagged edge of laziness, so God sends Jimmy the Jackhammer to disturb your lethargic peace.

God chooses interesting instruments to shape and mould our lives.

So the next time your spouse irritates you, think, “Ah, yes, sandpaper.” The next time your children push your buttons, think, “Ah, chisel time.” Or the next time your workmate annoys you, think, “Ah, jackhammer”. It is only through the eyes of faith can one see people as instruments in the hands of God. Remember too that you and I are not exempt from being chisels or sandpaper to others. God uses our faults and shortcomings to mould others. At the same time, however, God wants us to improve ourselves and grow in holiness.

The prophet Isaiah of the Old Testament part of the Bible sums up the rollercoaster ride of the interior life with Jesus. “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways my ways, says the Lord. As high as the heavens are above the earth, so high are my ways above your ways and my thoughts above your thoughts.”

Forest tenure change pulled back Tom Fletcher Black Press VICTORIA – The B.C. government has withdrawn legislation to overhaul its system of Crown forest licences, after protests that it would give too much control to forest companies.

The amendments would have given the forests minister authority to convert licences to cut a certain volume of timber into area-based licences, to give companies greater incentive

to invest in forest management.

“Clearly there are very significant benefits to area-based management,” Forests Minister Steve Thomson said Tuesday. “But there has also been a lot of misinformation and perceptions created around what it is and what it isn’t.”

Thomson announced the proposed change after a special committee toured northern B.C. last year to study the effect of the pine beetle epidemic in the B.C. In-

terior. He said the delay of the legislation will not interfere with the rebuilding of the Burns Lake sawmill destroyed by an explosion and fire in January, 2012.

The B.C. government already has authority to award area-based licences to local governments and aboriginal communities.

Commitments by six Burns Lake-area aboriginal bands were a key part of the decision by Oregon-based Hampton Affiliates to rebuild the mill.

Cariboo North MLA Bob Simpson organized a protest against the change, urging people to contact Thomson and ask for the delay.

Simpson said the government was offering the change for the Burns Lake mill, but other forest companies would demand the same thing.

The result would be a series of regional monopolies over Crown forest resources that would push out independent mill owners who don’t have large

Confiscating drivers’ phones rejected Tom Fletcher Black Press Talking and texting behind the wheel continues to be a major road safety problem, but Attorney General Shirley Bond has rejected raising fines or taking away mobile phones to deal with the problem.

The tough new measures were suggested last week by Victoria Police Chief Jamie Graham, after an enforcement blitz by B.C. police forces resulted in

about 6,000 tickets being issued in February.

Graham, chair of the B.C. Association of Police Chiefs’ traffic safety committee, suggested police should also have the authority to seize a phone for 24 hours for a first offence, and for several days for repeat offences.

Graham also referred to $350 fines available for other traffic safety violations. The current fine for mobile phone use while driving is $167.

“I’m certainly not considering the seizure of cell phones,” Bond said Monday. “I am concerned, though, that we continue to see distracted driving in the province.”

Bond said taking away cell phones would create privacy problems, and she is also not convinced that increasing fines would have the desired effect.

“It’s not unlike seat belts,” Bond said. “It took a long time for people in our province

to make that a normal habit.”

B.C. imposed new Motor Vehicle Act regulations against using hand-held mobile devices in January, 2010.

The rules allow phones to be used with a headset and a singlebutton function to make calls.

forest licences, Simpson predicted.

He compared it to a similar change in coastal forest licences to Tree Farm Licences (TFLs), which was opposed by H.R MacMillan, B.C.’s first chief forester, in the 1950s.

Extending TFLs into the Interior would lead to the same result that has been seen on the B.C. coast, with most mills shut down and the forest degraded to second growth with low commercial value, Simpson said.

Ethnic strategy is nothing new

B.C. VIEWS TOM FLETCHER

The B.C. legislature session ends this week. It can’t come quickly enough for Premier Christy Clark and the B.C. Liberals.

This is also the week we see the rest of the fallout from “ethnic-gate,” as the latest controversy over partisan activity by political staff has been clumsily labelled.

A disgruntled former B.C. Liberal caucus staffer handed the NDP opposition an internal memo setting out a strategy for ethnic “outreach” that strayed into forbidden territory, suggesting that ethnic-friendly government events could be staged and participants’ names collected and turned over to the party.

“This secret plan clearly demonstrates the Liberals are deliberately folding government resources and staff into their party’s campaign machinery, despite rules that forbid this,” thundered NDP house leader John Horgan.

“We’ve seen this before, with the Liberals’ efforts to run a secret committee to subvert the public process around Burnaby Hospital, and in the attack website created by caucus staff and launched by the Liberal party.”

Casual observers might see this as a disturbing new development in misuse of public resources. It’s disturbing, all right, but it’s hardly new.

The “attack website” Horgan refers to is a case in point. While a website targeting NDP leader Adrian Dix was being cooked up in the B.C. Liberal bunker, a similar effort was being developed in NDP research down the hall. This partisan message detailed all the worthwhile things that could be done with the government’s $15 million advertising budget singing the praises of the government’s “jobs plan.”

But this one carried the logo of the NDP caucus, so it was within the rules. The average person, seeing two groups of staff on the public

payroll, each slagging the other, might not detect much of a difference.

The biggest headline from the leaked memo was its reference to generating “quick wins” for the election campaign by staging apologies for historic racial injustices.

It mentioned how former premier Gordon Campbell delivered a solemn apology in 2008 for the decision to turn away a ship carrying Sikh refugees from Vancouver harbour – shortly after the outbreak of the First World War. What does a modern provincial premier accomplish by apologizing for a federal

immigration decision made in 1915? Why would another premier now feel the need to apologize for a federal “head tax” imposed on Chinese immigrants from 1885 to 1923?

The answer is obvious.

Again, don’t expect much to change with an NDP government. Asked last week if he would stage an apology for the head tax, Dix delivered a well-rehearsed history lesson that made it clear he is anxious to do so.

Welcome to politics in an urbanized, globalized media culture. It’s more important to put on a show than to do the right thing. Hospitals

are announced three times before they’re built, then announced again when they are staffed.

Politics is a lucrative career. Former B.C. Liberal MLA Lorne Mayencourt is one of the additional “outreach” staff hand-picked by Clark.

The B.C. Liberals retort that the NDP caucus has a similar staffer named Gabriel Yiu, who has taken three leaves of absence to run for MLA, and is in practical terms a professional NDP candidate.

Yiu is running for a fourth time in Vancouver-Fraserview, having been defeated

in 2009 by former West Vancouver police chief Kash Heed.

That campaign was notorious for anonymous Chinese-language pamphlets claiming the NDP favours legalizing drugs and imposing a “death tax” on inheritance.

This latest scandal might produce meaningful reform.

But the misuse of public money to further the interests of political parties is deeply entrenched.

Where to go, what to do.

Saskia and Darrel in concert The Great Plains duo Darrel de la Ronde and Saskia will be in concert Thursday, March 21 at St. Peter’s Anglican Church.

Darrel and Saskia always combine their concerts with an awareness and fundraising campaign to help promote history, art and community.

For this Williams Lake concert they are shedding some light on the Station House Gallery.

The singer-songwriters are certainly no strangers to Williams Lake as they have played at the Gibraltar Room in past concerts with Juno Award winners Gary Fjellgaard and Valdy, and for Performances in the Park held summers in Boitanio Park.

They also have other notable entertainers such as Daniel Powter, Darby Mills, Steve Dawson, Bill Hicks (Powder Blues), and

Nolan Murray (Tiller’s Folly) appearing on their 10 CD’s.

They have performed with Good Brothers, Stampeders, Emerson Drive, and many more …

Under the shelter of their newly-formed band name The Great Plains they are cultivating an immense following across Canada and Europe. This year they are touring Canada and Europe with their newest CD Songbirds.

Darrel de la Ronde played in his first working band at the age of 14 and over the years developed a unique finger and thumb picking style that is admired by guitar players everywhere, states his biography.

Although he is an accomplished lead guitarist and sought after studio musician, his work today is understated and deliberate, blending and weaving through the melody with careful

Saskia comes from an old-world European classical music background, and her rich velvet alto has been described as ‘ethereal.’

Her voice is a fine instrument that has been toned by only having the very best notes emanate from it, say critics. The audience then, is delightfully shocked when she segues from an operatic version of Ave Maria to belting out some raunchy country blues.

Darrel and Saskia

have earned numerous accolades and awards for their albums which have enjoyed airplay on CBC and many Indie Radio stations around the world.

Elks Hall entrance upgraded, more members needed The Elks Hall has a new roof over the rear parking lot entrance thanks to the help of three local businesses.

Pioneer Log Homes, Mainline Roofing and Ellis Exteriors have all contributed to the project.

Arnie Zimmerman, on behalf of the Williams Lake Elks and Royal Purple specifically thanks Gord Kosolofski of Mainline Roofing, Sean Ellis of Ellis Contracting and Brian Reid of Pioneer Log Homes for their generous donation of the structure.

“This shows how local businesses pull together and help this community,” says Zimmerman.

He says the Elks are really struggling to keep rentals of the Elks Hall up for weddings, concerts, banquets, celebrations of life, trade shows and other events.

“It costs a lot to keep the hall running with the high cost of utilities,” Zimmerman says.

He says rentals in November and December are usually excellent but a lot slower at other times of the year.

“We need more hall rentals to pay for the hall expenses. If we had more members, we could do a lot more in terms fundraising events to raise much needed money,” Zimmerman says.

“We are very low on members and the more members we have, the more we can do to help people in our community.

“In order for us to continue to do what we do best, helping people in need, we need to

He asks people who are interested in joining the “best family oriented organization in Canada,” and being part of the Williams Lake Elks and the Ladies of the Royal Purple to contact him at 250-392-5451 or talk to any of the members.

“We would really appreciate your help,” Zimmerman says. Our Elks hall helps the community in a number of ways during the year.

“We are still the largest hall in town and it has all the facilities needed for many functions. The Elks Hall is a milestone in our community and we would hate to see us loose it.

“One of our main charities is to support local children and re-

gionally with hearing aids. Every year our organization gives out bursaries for students who want to pursue

their career.”

He says Barton Insurance has donated a 10-foot electric remote retractable screen for

the hall which is available for various events.

The screen and the Elks public address system are available to renters free of charge.

“We know this will benefit our community and all the people who use our hall,” Zimmerman says. “The Ladies of the Royal Purple would also really appreciate volunteers to help in the kitchen when catering for events.”

People wishing to volunteer can call Arnie at 250-392-5451 or his wife Doreen at the same number if they are able to help with catering.

“We allow our kitchen to be used for various catered functions,” Zimmerman says.

“Some of our kitchen items at times seem to go missing. If anyone has inadvertently taken some of the kitchen items could they please return them. Come and join us and help our community.”

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).

Curves annual food bank drive in full swing Curves International is currently engaged in its 15th annual food drive challenge Feed the Need.

Curves club members in the U.S. and Canada, including Williams Lake, have a goal of collecting 100,000 food bank donations during the two week period of March 11 to March 23.

Curves is asking its members to donate bags of non-perishable food or cash to support their local community food banks, states the club press release.

In exchange for the donations, Curves will waive the joining fee for new members who bring in a bag of non-perishable food or donate $30 to their local food bank during the two week period.

The membership offer is open to new

members only who enrol for a minimum 12-month e.f.t program or join Curves Complete.

When combined donations from all Curves clubs reach 100,000 donation goal, Curves International will donate 10 per cent of March 2013 profits to Blessings in a Backpack, a non-profit organization that ensures that impoverished elementary school children are fed on the weekends throughout the school year.

Blessings in a Backpack is a 501 C (3) non-profit organization currently feeding nearly 61,000plus children in the U.S. and Canada and two other countries.

The program is a hybrid of private sector funding and public partnerships carried out in public schools.

For more information about Bless-

ings in a Backpack, please visit http:// w w w. b l e s s i n g s i n a backpack.org/Home. aspx.### Since its inception, the total contributions to local food banks from the annual Curves Food Drive have exceeded 75 million pounds of food, says Mike Raymond, Curves vice-president of marketing.

“Each year, we encourage our clubs and members to donate even more than the year before. Our annual food drive is a great way for members and their communities to fill a real need by restocking the shelves in local food pantries across the U.S. and Canada during a time when they are usually low.”

For more information about Curves of Williams Lake, located at 100A - 369 Oliver Street, and the 2013 Curves

Food Drive, contact a Curves of Williams Lake staff member at 250-398-8191 or 9BXVCQML@ curvesmail.com.

Curves is the largest fitness franchise in the world, helping women in over 90 countries lead healthier lives. The company was founded in 1993 by Gary and Diane Heavin, who saw an opportunity to provide a fast, affordable workout for women in an industry that had often focused primarily on the needs of men.

Since then, the company has continued to innovate, most recently with the launch of Curves Complete, an integrated program that combines exercise, meal plans, and oneon-one coaching for

more effective weight loss. For more information, please visit www.curves.com.

TRU North Happenings Standing Ovation for TRU Grit Gala!

The TRU North Gala was a huge success. The 2nd annual TRU Grit Gala was a sold out event many are calling the event of the year. Men and women of Williams Lake valeted their cars, showed off their best garments and dined like royalty, all to support scholarships and awards for TRU North Students. The event held both a silent and live auction leaving many guests walking away with exciting purchases. A Canucks weekend, Las Vegas vacation and Sun Peaks ski in, ski out accommodation were a few items up for bidding.

Entertainment for the night included AngelKeys Music Studio, Youth Fiddlers and March Hare.

Speeches were kept to a minimum... guests danced the night away stopping only for a quick taste of the chocolate fountain. March Hare performed all genres of music from different decades. Guests left the evening already asking about next year’s event. The TRU North Gala is a public event open to everyone. We hope to see everyone out at next year’s Gala.

10th annual Bluegrass Concert hosted by the Hub Bluegrass Club The Hub Bluegrass Club in Williams Lake is hosting its 10th annual Bluegrass Concert on Sunday, March 24.

The concert wraps up the 108 Cabin Fever Bluegrass Workshops March 20-24 and features instructors from the workshops.

Nationally acclaimed Bluegrass performers will include John Reischman; Nick Hornbuckle; Trisha Gagnon; Trent Freeman; Chris Jones; Sally Jones; Tim Eccles; Keith Hill; Randy Pokeda; Jason and Pharis Romero; and the Five on a String Bluegrass Band.

The Hub Bluegrass Club is a non-profit organization and $5 from each ticket sold will go to the Cariboo Foundation Hospital Trust for the purchase of a digital mammography machine and a bursary to further education in Bluegrass music, says event spokesperson, Rosetta Paxton, who provides the artists’ biographies.

John Reischman is one of the acoustic world’s top-ranked mandolin players and composers. His mastery of the instrument is showcased in the powerful bluegrass band John Reischman and the Jaybirds.

Nick Hornbuckle has a unique playing style: a two-finger blend of modal, claw-hammer technique and Scruggsstyle bluegrass rolls showcased on all the Jaybirds’ recordings.

Juno Award nominee Trisha Gagnon’s reverent yet playful songs have the power to refresh the soul through artful depictions of the things she finds most inspiring: landscape, family, and the divine. With world-class upright bass skills, a poet’s command of language, and a voice dubbed “irresistible” by Sing Out!, Gagnon has made a name for herself playing with the bands Tumbleweed and John Reischman and the Jaybirds.

Trent Freeman’s new recording, Rock Paper Scissors is artistic, in-

Trent Freeman is among noted international Bluegrass artists lined up to perform at the 10th annual Bluegrass Concert March 24 at the Gibraltar Room.

Freeman has toured and recorded with many bands and artists such as The Wailin Jennys, John Reischman, Wyclef Jean, and countless others. Another collaboration of his, a folk string quartet called The Fretless, recently won a Western Canadian Music Award for best instrumental album of 2012, and two Canadian Folk Music Awards for both Instrumental Group of the Year, and Ensemble of the Year. Singer, songwriter and guitarist, Chris Jones is the founder and front man of The Night Drivers. Thanks to his role hosting SiriusXM’s Bluegrass Junction, he is the most widely heard broadcasting voice in bluegrass. In 2007 he earned IBMA’s Awards Show Song of the Year

Award as a co-writer of Fork in the Road, the title track of the year’s Album Of The Year by the Infamous Stringdusters, and the organization’s Broadcaster Of The Year trophy.

Singer and songwriter Sally Jones won numerous award nominations for her solo album Sally Jones with her band the Sidewinders and critically acclaimed Pinecastle recording Love Hurts. Before branching out on her own she spent a decade as guitarist and harmony singer with artists such as Tom T. Hall, Marie Osmond, Harley Allen and Andrea Roberts.

The Five on a String Bluegrass Band includes three-time Canadian Flatpicking Champion Garry Stevenson on guitar lead and baritone vocals; Gordie Sadler on banjo, lead and tenor vocals; Hugh

Ellenwood on fiddle, lead and bass vocals; Dan Mornar on upright bass, lead and tenor vocals; Tim Eccles on mandolin (guitar and banjo), lead and tenor vocals.

Randy Pokeda, of Williams Lake, is one of Canada’s top musicians having mastered the electric and acoustic guitars, resophonic Dobro guitar, pedal steel guitar and plays banjo at times. He is an accomplished session musician, producer and freelance player.

Pokeda owns a recording studio in Williams Lake where folks from around B.C. come to have their recordings done, Paxton says.

PHANTOM HUNTER POKES JELLY BELLY

WILLIAMS LAKE, BC The sign on the side of the building featured a large blue loon swimming on a mountain lake. Underneath the loon, block letters spelled out, “Laketown Furnishings.” I knew the image should generate a feeling of calm, but as I moved closer I found my tension growing. The wall that faced the east on Second Avenue boasted a set of double doors but only one opened. Stepping inside I found myself in a lobby with a few pieces of furniture displaying clearance tags. A lonely loveseat reduced from $1,035 to $499, and a few odd night stands reduced to $99 - greeted my entrance.

Immediately to my left I saw a long set of stairs plunging into the basement. Directly ahead lay another set of double doors.

Time for a decision - should I turn left and descend downwards or

should I move forward through the double doors.

astonished at the vast array of merchandise that met my eyes.

“Who will buy all this stuff?” I asked in a voice louder than I intended. “Well I was hoping you might buy something,” a man answered. I looked at him wondering if this was the phantom. He wore a blue turban on his head, a blue denim shirt, and black dress pants.

A thick black and silver-streaked beard covered the lower part of his face while large gogglelike glasses partially concealed his eyes. I poked his belly with my finger. He let out a high-pitched shriek like a little girl and jumped back. “Much

“If I were a phantom where would I be?” I muttered to myself.

“Just move. Pick a direction and keep walking,” I heard my own slightly annoyed voice respond.

Surprised by the angry tone of my response, I walked through the doors and into a brightly lit and crowded showroom. Although spacious the showroom appeared a little cluttered and overflowing with furniture. Curio cabinets filled with beautiful, locally crafted art, seductively soft sofas, ornate arm chairs, coffee tables of many shapes and sizes, cookware, and major appliances ranging from dishwashers to Italian Gas ranges seemed to stretch the confines of this large showroom.

With only a few pieces of furniture to my name I stared,

Twenty minutes later I found myself on the fourth level of the store sitting on a beautiful recliner, gazing out over the town and asking, “When can you deliver it…. Great I’ll take it.”

No phantom this week, but I’m not giving up. I think the recliner will help me relax and formulate a plan to finally find the Phantom of the Four Floor Furniture Store.

too rubbery,” I muttered under my breath. “A phantom would be more transparent, more ethereal.”

“Beg your pardon?” the jelly belly man asked with more than a hint of shock. “Just looking for a nice recliner,” I lied. Well perhaps I didn’t lie. I did not own a recliner and whenever I sat on my father’s chair I always enjoyed myself.

Maybe I did need a recliner. I couldn’t say I was hunting for a phantom, could I?

Wilderness Committee applauds decision to scrap latest proposed Forest Act changes The Wilderness Committee is wildly celebrating the announcement from Victoria that proposed changes to the BC Forest Act have been dropped from a controversial bill.

The proposed legislative changes, contained in the BC government’s farreaching Bill 8, would have allowed private logging companies to “roll over” forest tenures into Tree Farm Licences (TFLs), shifting more control over public forest lands into private hands.

“People all over BC have spoken up against these pro-

posed changes, which would have meant the mass privatization of the province’s public forests,” said Joe Foy, national campaign director with the Wilderness Committee this week.

“It really goes to show how much people value our public forests and don’t want to see them fall into corporate hands.”

Over the past few weeks, the proposed Forest Act changes have sparked a flurry of unified opposition amongst First Nations, environmentalists, unions, elected officials and many individuals.

According to its

web site The Wilderness Committee, founded in 1980, is a registered non-profit society with charitable status.

It has more than 60,000 members, donors and volunteers.

Head office is in Vancouver, with field offices in Victoria, Winnipeg and Toronto.

The committee is united in its mission to protect Canada’s biodiversity through strategic research and grassroots public education.

Notable achievements include playing a key role in gaining protection for South Moresby - Gwaii Hanas(BC),

Caribou Mountains Park(AB), South Atikaki(MB), Carmanah Valley(BC), Pinecone/Boise/ Burke(BC), Manigotagan River(MB), Stein Valley Nlaka’pamux(BC), Sooke Hills(BC) and the designation of Clayoquot Sound(BC) as a United Nations Biosphere Reserve and many other areas.

The Wilderness Committee also claims successful litigation efforts which stopped logging in Wood Buffalo National Park and Greater Victoria’s drinking watershed; established that no logging roads should be built without ap-

proved logging permits; guaranteed public access to Crown lands; and, most recently, afforded critically endangered species’ habitat protection from logging under BC’s Forest Practices Code.

The Wilderness Committee’s research achievements are the establishment of the world’s first uppercanopy temperate rainforest research station and a Conservation Vision mapping project that resulted in the call for protecting 40 per cent of B.C.’s land base in order to save sufficient biodiversity within the province.

Auction on child-sized table and chairs raises funds for Scout Island Nature Centre JENNY NOBLE This year the Williams Lake Field Naturalists have an extraordinary treat for those who attend their annual fundraising banquet on Friday, April 5.

Aw a r d - w i n n i n g teacher, broadcaster, author and videographer Briony Penn shares her stories and the science on why getting trapped inside is really bad for us and is impacting life expectancy and quality of life for our children.

Spending more time outside in nature makes us happier and more resilient to the upheaval caused by climate change.

Penn has a special interest in making nature accessible to children.

She brings some of the best success stories from leaders in this field on how to bring society back to a healthy relationship with the natural world.

She envisions a restoration economy, where nature is valued properly and where meaningful, interest-

ing outdoor work is once again a choice for our kids.

The annual banquet is a much-anticipated event.

The dinner prepared by the St. Andrew’s United Church ladies is always delicious and the desserts legendary.

Door prizes, Volunteer of the Year Award and camaraderie make for a lively evening.

This year we have a special enticement, a silent auction item of great interest to parents, grandparents and special friends of children.

To help raise funds for the much-needed energy upgrade to the Scout Island Nature House, Jurgen Hornburg has created a kidsized table and chairs made of local aspen, and very generously donated it for silent auction.

Bids will close at the banquet, but if you can’t attend, you can submit a bid by phoning 398-8532 or emailing shemphill@ midbc.ca. Starting bid is $400.

Senior’s abuse hotline expanded TOM FLETCHER Black Press The B.C. government has announced a $1 million boost to its seniors’ abuse protection programs, including extending the hours for a hotline to report suspicions of abuse or neglect.

The bulk of the funding is to allow the Vancouver-based Seniors Abuse and Information Line to extend its hours to 12 hours a day, seven days a week. It offers information, advice and emotional support for seniors and their friends and relatives who suspect elderly people are being abused or taken advantage of.

The number is 604437-1940 in Metro Vancouver and tollfree province-wide at 1-866-437-1940.

Saanich councillor and former MLA Susan Brice, a volunteer with the seniors’ support organization Silver Threads, said members see cases of abuse frequently.

“It’s the elderly

woman who comes to her craft class with unexplained bruises,” Brice said. “It’s the couple who lose thousands of dollars through a telemarketing scam. And it’s the quiet-speaking gentleman, who while living with family, appears neglected and uncared for.”

Minister of State for Seniors Ralph Sultan said he has encountered abuse and exploitation of seniors in his own family, and it comes up frequently as he has traveled B.C. asking seniors and their caregivers what they need from government.

In an interview, Sultan acknowledged that the funding is a modest effort to bolster volunteer efforts.

“It is a beginning step, but it also reflects the fact that this problem can not be solved top-down,” Sultan said. “It will have to be solved bottom-up by mobilizing many different organizations around the province.”

The B.C. govern-

ment also provided $1.4 million last year to the B.C. Association of Community Response Networks, for prevention and education to reduce elder abuse and neglect.

Katrine Conroy, NDP critic for seniors, said she agrees with extra support for the information line, which is supported by lawyers and other experts to help seniors find help.

“Anything that’s done to eliminate elder abuse is a good thing,” Conroy said.

“The community resource networks are really good organizations.”

She added that the government’s proposed Seniors’ Advocate is inadequate, because it is not an independent office and won’t deal with individual cases.

Sultan said the advocate is to help develop policies to protect seniors, and a federal study being funded partly by the program will provide the information needed to do that.

CHARM OF ENGLAND’S EDWARDIAN ERA The façade of this appealing home, with its brick and board-and-batten accents and decorative roundels in each gable brings to mind the charm of England’s Edwardian era.

The covered entry opens into a roomy foyer, with a coast closet on the left. To the right, through an archway, is a formal dining room, with windows looking onto a porch and the front garden.

Directly ahead, through another archway, is the great room, boasting a dramatic vaulted ceiling. The gas fireplace will make this room cozy during the winter months, while French doors nearby lead to a deck for relaxing on warm days.

The kitchen is separated from the great room by a three-seat eating bar, ideal for casual meals and snacks.

A double sink overlooks the deck area, part of which is covered. A roomy corner pantry will provide extra storage space and the U-shaped counter configuration will save steps for the cook.

Adjacent to the kitchen is a laundry room, which will double as a mud room, thanks to access to the double garage. The closet near the laundry room will provide space for family clothing and gear.

The master suite overlooks the back garden and includes a roomy ensuite and walk-in closet. Double sinks in the ensuite will ease the morning rush hour, and a tub offers an alternative to the shower stall.

The children will have to draw straws to choose

bedrooms – the larger one contains its own walkin closet, as well as a window seat. Both secondary bedrooms face the front garden, and share a three-piece bathroom that includes a towel cupboard. A linen closet is located near the staircase.

The plans include a 358-square-foot bonus room, located over the garage, which would be ideal as a home office or studio.

This home measures 64 feet wide and 51 feet, two inches deep, for a total of 2,286 square feet.

Plans for design 1-3-654 are available for $758 (set of 5), $856 (set of 8) and $917 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.

Our NEW 45TH Edition of the Home Plan Catalogue containing over 300 plans is available for $13.50 (includes taxes, postage and handling).
