Lucian Davis takes advantage of his time off school to get in some sledding and snowmobiling. The wishes for a white Christmas were certainly received this year, with the Cariboo Chilcotin getting blanketed with a thick layer of snow.

Parking will be restricted around Thompson Rivers University and 11th Avenue in the new year.

The restrictions were among a number of parking regulation changes endorsed by city council Tuesday, Dec. 17 in efforts to ease traffic congestion and facilitate snow removal.

The new regulations were announced in a city press release Dec. 20.

In September TRU instituted a “pay parking” system for students which resulted in an overabundance of TRU students foregoing the fee to park on Western Avenue. This has led to severe traffic congestion and safety issues. Poor vsibility has led to a number of motor vehicle incidents.

The city has also received complaints from school bus drivers and Williams Lake fire department.

The portion of 11th Avenue between McKinnon Street and Pigeon Avenue is quite narrow and often will have vehicles parked on both sides of the street, making it very difficult for traffic to move through this area.

Parking will be limited to the south side of 11th Avenue only between McKinnon Street and Pigeon Avenue at all times. It is expected that signs will be installed and enforcement of these changes will begin in early January.

From all of us here at the Williams Lake Seniors Village.

Wishing you all a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Parking curtailed on Western and 11th Avenues Signs marking new parking restrictions on Western Avenue and side streets around Thompson Rivers University as well as on 11th Avenue will be posted in the new year.

The restrictions will be in the following areas reports the city.

• No Parking signs will be installed from Blair Street to Midnight Avenue for the entire area on the TRU side of Western Ave. This would address the current safety issues for vehicles pulling out of TRU onto Western as no vehicles would be parked on that side of the street allowing greater visibility.

• There will be a “Resident Only” parking system for the six residences across from

TRU, where residents are given tags to be left on their dashboard to allow only those vehicles belonging to the residents to park in this area.

• Street parking will be allowed from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. from the corner of Comer Park extending towards Columneetza on the park side of the street.

This would allow some on-street parking, roughly 30 spots for students during the day.

• The end of this area on Western Avenue approaching Lake City Secondary Columneetza Campus from TRU will be restricted to only 15 minute stopping to allow parents to pick up/ drop off their children at Columneetza. This

area would extend to opposite the fourth residence in from Latin Street.

• To ensure school buses the room to turn into the Columneetza school bus pickup area, the no stopping area will extend from past Latin Street to in front of these first four residences on Western from Latin.

• The remaining area in front of the residences on Western continuing to Blair will be “Residential Parking” Only.

• Blair Avenue on the lower end towards Western will have no parking on both sides of the street (one side is already No Parking).

This street is very narrow and with vehicles parked on either side, school buses can

• Latin and Beauchamp will be “Resi-

dential Parking Only” zones.

• Parking restric-

tions in the downtown core area will remain unchanged. Parking is

prohibited between 3 a.m. and 8 a.m., Sunday to Thursday.

Street parking now prohibited on the day before garbage pickup day In efforts to improve snow removal service, parking on city streets will be restricted for 24 hours

the day before scheduled garbage and recycling pickup days.

For instance if your area has gar-

bage pickup on a Tuesday, street parking is not permitted on the prior Monday.

This would limit the impact on most residential areas to only one set day a week, and allow

snow removal crews to have these areas completely cleaned so that the garbage containers can be

We celebrate many birthdays in December. One that gets overlooked is Louis Pasteur, born on December 27 1822. He was a French bacteriologist who created a process for sterilizing milk to kill pathogens that could cause disease. He also developed a preventive inoculation against rabies. This early work on immunization has saved millions of lives throughout the generations.

The human liver is a wonderful organ. lt is the only organ that has acetaldehyde dehydrogenase, the enzyme that breaks down alcohol. It does this job well at the rate of one standard drink per hour. Just a reminder, a standard drink is 12 oz of beer, 5 oz of wine or 1.5 oz of spirits.

Had your flu shot yet? It’s not too late. Have your children inoculated too. Remember, you can’t catch the flu from the flu shot. The more people who get the flu shot, the less the virus will be spread.

Coconut water has gotten much publicity lately. It is made from the clear water inside the coconut, not the coconut flesh from which we get coconut milk.

Coconut water does contain some potassium (about 200mg per l00ml), is low in sodium and calories and contains primarily water which keeps you hydrated.

CRD chair delivers year end address Al Richmond CRD Chair

Special to Tribune/Advisor Members of the board, members of the media, ladies and gentlemen.

Today, I have the distinct pleasure of reviewing the Cariboo Regional District’s key accomplishments and successes for 2013.

Looking back over the past year, our region can be proud of its achievements. The CRD experienced many successes in 2013.

The year started with three sub-regional budget consultation meetings taking place in 100 Mile House, Quesnel and Williams Lake.

During these meetings we presented the proposed 2013 budget to our residents to seek feedback from them, before adopting the budget at the end of March.

In May of 2013, the CRD attended the North Central Local Government Association conference which was held in Quesnel. Delegates and their partners were able to attend some great workshops, business sessions and of course some spectacular entertainment and social events. I would also like to take this opportunity to again thank the many volunteers from the North Cariboo who dedicated their time and efforts to put their best foot forward.

In mid-May, the Cariboo Regional District participated in a precedent-setting event which saw First Nations, local governments, School District 27 and 28 along and non-first nations communities from across the region unite

CRD Chair Al Richmond to remember, recover and reconcile.

From May 16-19, public events, workshops and seminars were held as part of the Commemoration Project. National First Nations Assembly Chief Shawn Atleo and the Honourable Justice Murray Sinclair, Chair of the Federal Truth and Reconciliation Commission facilitated and participated in the sessions and spoke about reconciliation in Canada. On May 16 & 17, 2013, monuments at the St Joseph’s Mission Residential School site and in Williams Lake’s Boitanio Park were unveiled. These events were planned through an inclusive planning committee comprised of former students, First Nations tribal councils, local government, School District 27, the RCMP and the Sxoxomic First Nations School. During a news conference to announce the monuments, the Cariboo Regional District (CRD) learned of a former student who

had her own orange shirt taken from her by the school, only to see another child wearing it days later. The Cariboo Regional District has now declared September 30 annually as Orange Shirt Day. The municipalities within the region, along with School District 27 have also made this same declaration to aide in the healing and reconciliation process and to create a better future for generations to come.

In June, the CRD board of directors and staff travelled to Lac La Hache for the first of two, board on the road events for 2013. The traditional board on the road barbecue was put on in support of the Lac La Hache parent advisory council to raise funds for the elementary school trip to Drumheller, Alberta.

On Sept. 12 and 13, we were on the road again with our second of two board on the road meetings for 2013 – this time Wildwood in Electoral Area D was our destination. The event

began early in the day with a Community to Community Forum with the Xatśūll (Soda Creek First Nation) held at the Emporium. The session was followed by a tour of the Xatśūll Heritage Village. The board on the road event continued with the traditional barbecue which was put on by members of the CRD’s Wildwood Volunteer Fire Department.

The following day, the board reconvened in the Wildwood Fire Hall for its regularly scheduled board meeting.

From Sept. 16 to 20, the Cariboo Regional District directors attended the annual Union of British Columbia Municipalities convention and annual meeting in Vancouver. Throughout the convention the CRD met with three provin-

cial ministers and Network BC staff which is a part of the Ministry of Technology, Innovation and Citizens’ Services, spoke to CRD resolutions and received some prestigious awards.

During the resolutions sessions, the CRD learned it had earned the Honourable Mention Gold Star Award for its “Noxious Weeds and Range Lands” resolution. The resolution requested the Government of B.C. do everything possible to assist the ranching community in controlling noxious weeds including provincial requirements, assisting with costs associated with obtaining a pesticide applicator’s certificate and more.

Mayor Cook reflects on the ups and downs of 2013 Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer As she looked back over 2013 and forward to 2014, Williams Lake Mayor Kerry Cook said she was encouraged.

“We’ve done lots of work and there is still more to do,” Cook said.

Crime continues to be a top priority of the city and Cook think it’s good news Williams Lake has been selected to work with the Blue Ribbon Panel.

There will be meetings in Williams Lake with the panel’s chair Dr. Darryl Placas in January.

A big capital project highlight for Cook was the South Lakeside Drive upgrade completed in the fall.

“It was a $2.5 million project achieved without longterm borrowing,” Cook added.

The city also completed the $1.2 million phase 5 of the River Valley storm sewer project. Williams Lake’s financial contribution totalled $170,000 thanks to the Gas Tax fund.

Building permits have increased, especially due to the announcements by West Fraser and Tolko of major capital investments in their Williams Lake operations.

“As of November 30, in 2013 we had building permits valuing $15.1 million,” Cook said. “It’s encouraging people are still willing to invest in Williams Lake.”

Another highlight was the St. Joseph’s Mission Residential School Commemoration Project and Orange Shirt Day. “We were honoured to have Justice Murray Sinclair, Grand Chief Stewart Philip and National Chief Shawn Atleo as well as a great many chiefs from around our region attend,” Cook said.

School District 27 is tying the project all together by adding information about the residential school legacy to the curriculum, she said.

“If we want to break cycles it’s that education piece that is so important.”

Cook said the city is waiting to hear about its community forest partnership with the Williams Lake Indian Band, and hoping for a provincial award to proceed.

“I am proud to be working with Chief Anne Louie and the WLIB on a project of mutual benefit.”

In January the city’s bylaws allowing the keeping of hens and bees comes into effect

REALTOR TIPS

Mayor Kerry Cook in Jan. 1.

“Urban hen and beekeeping are a growing phenomena in cities across North America and many residents have expressed an interest keeping hens and or bees.”

Cook recalled the union city worker strike in February as a tough time for everyone, however, emerging with a four-year settlement between

the city and its workers provided stability.

She said the same of the outcome for the fire protection agreement with the Cariboo Regional District.

“It was unfortunate there was a disagreement, but in the end we had a five-year deal.”

Cook had hoped there would be an announcement from Boitanio Mall about the retailer going into

the spot vacated by Zellers last March, and said she looks forward to an announcement soon in the new year.

She is also hoping for a positive outcome for the Cariboo Memorial Hospital Plan.

“The request for proposals is supposed to be completed late spring, early summer,” Cook said. “That’s huge for our community.”

Williams Lake will be turning 85 as an incorporated city in March and celebrations are planned for February, March and May, she said.

“The birthday is actually in March, but we’re going to be trying to stretch it out through the whole year.”

Cook continues to praise the resiliency of Williams Lake and its citizens.

At the Child Development Centre’s annual Wish Breakfast she ran into a man who moved to Williams Lake four years ago who told her the community was amazing.

He’d researched the town, read about

crime rates, etc., before he moved, and ever since he’s arrived he has been impressed by the generosity of people living here.

“When there was a recession, our community donated even more to the Salvation Army food bank,” Cook said.

When voters go to the polls for local government elections in November, they will be asked to vote on the Sam Ketcham Pool referendum.

“I encourage everyone to get informed and to participate,” she said.

Also in November, Cook’s name should be on the ballot.

“I haven’t formally announced it, but there’s still lots of work to do,” she said when asked if she’ll run again.

In the meantime rumours of Cook’s abilities as a high school basketball player have surfaced recently, so in the spirit of the New Year resolutions, the Tribune/Advisor challenged Cook to get back on the courts again in 2014.

BURGLARY PREVENTION DURING THE HOLIDAYS • It is best not to leave a spare key outside, but if you must, choose a spot far from the front door, or better yet with a trustworthy neighbour.

• Invest in an alarm system, if you can’t afford one you can get official looking stickers for you doors and windows at the hardward store in the meantime.

• Most burglaries occur during the day when people are at work. Turn on a radio or tv to make it sound like someone is home • Use an automatic timer to turn on lights, radios or televisions on and off in realistic patterns.

• Make it look like you are home, stop delivery of mail and newspapers, and have someone shovel snow.

• Ensure the exterior of your home is well lit; a dark yard makes a home easy prey.

Johnson Street woes A citizen’s committee opposed to possible intersection changes that would see Johnson Street opened up to highway traffic got an early Christmas present this month.

Williams Lake City Council passed a motion at its regular meeting to direct staff to inquire about the costs of hiring an independent traffic engineer.

The vocal group made the request earlier in hopes of having yet another traffic report offer solutions on the best way to move forward with changes to Highway 97 and city access.

The stretch of highway from just north on Fox Mountain Road to Carson Drive is slated for major upgrades as part of Christy Clark’s vision to see all of Highway 97 twinned – from Cache Creek to Prince George, in the coming years.

Our $4 million upgrade was chosen in part due to the number of collisions, injuries and fatalities that have occurred at the current intersection of Carson Drive and Highway 97 over the years.

Professionals from the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure said they have reviewed their options several times over several years, and have ultimately given an option which would see the Carson intersection removed and replaced at Toop. Additional upgrades would be made to McKinnon Street and the ministry has also suggested the city would benefit from opening up Johnson Street to offer a straight route to the hospital, which is also earmarked for upgrades.

City staff said they have reviewed all the options and reports and have recommended city council follow the advice of the ministry and open up Johnson Street.

Surprisingly, Mayor Cook made her opinion public recently that she does not support the opening of Johnson Street. But that doesn’t mean the other councillors won’t support it.

The Johnson Street residents are very passionate about their cause, and aren’t afraid to stand up for themselves.

Council really had no choice but to explore the request, but at the end of the day the last thing this project needs is another report.

In the not-so-distance New Year, it’ll be time to make a decision.

piles of snow

A city resident makes her way through mounds of snow to catch a bus on Pigeon Ave. recently.

The Cariboo and Chilcotin received near record amounts of snowfall this holiday season, making travel a little more difficult this year.

The stuff that holds us together Rarely - just a few times in a lifetime, the world suddenly shifts, spins, then presents itself in a whole new way. My first scuba dive was one of those times.

The small boat was pitching violently on the choppy water.

A storm had come to the islands and scrambled what was supposed to be the balmy blue Caribbean.

The boat heaved and wrenched, rapidly transforming novices like me into an ecological shade of green - until we all went in the water.

With a giant stride and a mask smashed to my face, I sank below the surface, and in an instant everything changed. The turmoil was gone. The stinging salt spray vanished. Gentle sea fans wafted

the

Living out Loud

back and forth. Corals stretched as far as the eye could see. A turtle grew curious then swam away.

The ocean hammock rocked me weightlessly.

Occasionally a new idea crawls into our thinking and we are nev-

er the same again. It happened the day I exchanged the wild surface for the tranquil beauty of the water. It can even happen above the sea.

At this time of year, many people turn a thought or two to God, however they define him, her, or otherwise.

There are so many choices — good, bad, wimpy, forceful, personal, disinterested, laughing, angry or tender! We create images on our front lawns that represent those hopes.

Not long ago a DVD presentation by Mr. Louie Giglio transformed my ordinary musings into the almost unreachable. When I surfed to google.com to check the information he claimed, I sat there, upended in my thinking,

delighting in the greatest joke God has ever played on me.

While looking at the structure of connective tissue, I saw what is hidden in every one of us - what holds us together. The substance that keeps us sane, active, and useful. It connects flesh and bone in you, me — everyone. It shapes us into something beyond Jello.

If you want to see it too, search “laminin” at images.google.com.

The world shifted for me in that instant.

There are many other viewpoints than mine. But the delight I felt that day has never left me.

Laughing still, I envision a God mighty enough to keep me from slumping into slime. A being that can act as a mother hen or a star-breather. Yet the ultimate

un-threat - a baby willing to get dirty to get me clean. The greatest show-and-tell of all time.

Perhaps what we are living through now isn’t the ‘norm’, but something temporary. Could there have been better times long ago? Is the best yet to come?

The swells still snare my stomach on the deck of a small boat, but not as fully as the undersea enchantment. Clinging to the railing now only creates a grinning anticipation of happy times to come. A time when turmoil, both under and above the sea, is over.

LOL@wltribune.com is offering a copy of the Giglio DVD for this week’s first email response. I would love to hear from you, and perhaps I’m not the only one.

A hopeless wish list for 2014 B.C. Views

with Tom Fletcher

Here are a few things I’d like to see in B.C. political life in the coming year, but won’t.

An orderly schedule of legislature sittings, one in the spring and one in the fall.

I canvassed this topic with Premier Christy Clark in our yearend interview, and got the usual runaround about how it’s always been optional since old Gordon what’s-his-name set the schedule of sittings and elections more than a decade ago.

Spring is for the budget and MLAs sit in the fall if they need to discuss legislation.

They need to all right, but what governments want to do is ram it through as fast as they can, so that’s what they do.

The last couple of years of this have been a sham worthy of a South American banana republic, with three chambers running simultaneously and opposition members trying to prepare as they run down the hallways.

It leads to mistakes in new laws and adds to the public’s cynicism about the whole business, but it gets things done with minimum exposure of the government to criticism. Stephen Harper would approve.

A political debate about real issues, rather than just a competition to score points in an endless election campaign.

I appreciate that this is hopelessly naive, but setting aside enough time to consider issues

could, at least in theory, lead to that happening occasionally.

Certainly the hastily staged mock combat of our legislature today isn’t winning new friends for any political party. The main growth area today is people who have given up on the whole thing.

An opposition with ideas.

The B.C. NDP will have another leadership contest in 2014, and they’d better bring more modern policy to the table than they had in the last one.

Remember the big issues in that pillow-fight? Me neither. I had to look them up.

Health care? Local organic carrots into the hospital food.

Forest industry? A job protec-

tion commissar to force the mills to stay open.

Resource development? They’re for it, unless you’re against it.

These guys need a Tony Blairtype makeover.

They need to be for something, and they need to leave the past behind.

Media that care about more than conflict.

News organizations are in bad shape these days, and the competition for a rapidly fragmenting audience is having some ugly effects.

One thing that needs to go is obsessive coverage of who’s winning and who’s losing.

If the news media are going to

be interested mainly in the gaffes and gotcha moments, is it any surprise that’s what politicians try to provide?

The Canada Post announcement that it has to wind up home delivery offers a recent example.

Is it really so outrageous for the CEO to suggest that walking to the corner is good exercise? When there’s a 24-hour news cycle to fill, it’s a scandal!

How many people know that Canada Post’s unfunded pension liabilities amount to $6.5 billion, as it continues to pay a dwindling workforce to hand out mostly advertising flyers? Should they just keep doing that until they run out of cash? Are taxpayers really ex-

pected to maintain another twotier service that’s only available to selected urban people?

Facts to go with opinions.

Whether it’s the government’s fantasy figures on job creation or the opposition’s arithmeticchallenged child poverty claims, serious problems can’t be understood, much less solved, without defining them accurately.

Submitting government advertising to scrutiny by the Auditor General to make sure it is accurate and non-partisan would be a good place to start.

Don’t give up on New Year’s resolutions Just before Nelson Mandela, one of the greatest individuals of our time, passed away, I found a quote from him that almost gave me shivers.

It is simply amazing that a person could be locked away for 27 years and be so gracious to those who had jailed him in cells for a long time.

Here is the quote...

“No one is born hating another person because of the colour of his skin or his background or his religion. People learn to hate and if they can learn to hate, they can learn to love, for love comes more naturally to the hu-

Contemplating Ken

with Ken Wilson

man heart than its opposite.”

I know there has been a lot said about the man, but I just wanted to share one of the things this gracious individual

and apartheid fighter stated, that I really enjoyed, because of its truth and simplicity. *** Did you make a New Year’s resolution just after Christmas, or perhaps New Year’s eve, or sometime in the last month?

Many people make good resolutions and stick to them for the better.

Like quitting smoking, getting more exercise, spending more time with the family, and volunteer work in the community.

There are some resolutions that are pretty far out there and they may be more of a wish,

rather than something you have set your mind upon.

Maybe you wish to be rich with a couple of a million dollars, however, if there is no plan to make that become a reality, it is just a wish.

I think it’s great to be hopeful for something that is positive, and if you don’t succeed the first time it’s okay as long as you gave it an honest try.

Many resolutions never make it past January 1, especially the stop smoking thing, and eating more sensible are a couple of them that don’t seem to last long.

One survey of those who wanted to achieve something in the New Year, only 14 per cent had been successful.

Maybe if a person made only one or perhaps two resolutions it would be easier to achieve the goal or goals, set out prior to the beginning of January.

Some resolutions get a little goofy or something that should not be a goal. Like saying you want to get a new hairstyle or buy a Sunday paper.

Whatever your resolution for this New Year, I hope you have some success and will not be afraid to make them each year.

CRD continues to build communities together Continued From Page A4 Throughout the week, CRD board members and staff met with three provincial ministers including Minister of Health, the Honourable Terry Lake; the Minister of Transportation and Infrastructure, the Honourable Todd Stone; and the Minister of Jobs, Tourism and Skills Training and the Minister Responsible for Labour, the Honourable Shirley Bond to discuss regional issues.

During the UBCM Community Excellence Awards breakfast reception, the CRD, Esk’etemc, the cities of Quesnel and Williams Lake and the district’s of 100 Mile House and Wells were presented with the UBCM Excellence Award in Partnerships for their submission The St. Joseph’s Mission Residential School Commemorative Project.

The same morning, CRD representatives attended a breakfast meeting with Geoscience BC to receive an update on the work they are doing throughout the province and more specifically within the Cariboo Chilcotin.

Friday, December 27, 2013 Tribune Weekend Advisor

During the annual UBCM banquet CRD Director and ViceChair Ted Armstrong was presented with a Special Long Service Award for his 35 years of public office.

Director Armstrong was first elected to the CRD board in 1978 as the Electoral Area A director after serving as an alternate director in 1977.

The guests at the banquet also witnessed CRD Director and Quesnel Mayor Mary Sjostrom presented with a lifetime membership to UBCM for her service to the organization.

In 2013, the CRD successfully applied to a number of different provincial and federal funding programs such as the Building Canada Fund, the Towns for Tomorrow program, Northern Development Initiative Trust, the Community Tourism Opportunities program and UBCM’s Fuel Mitigation Fund for a total of approximately $1 million. The CRD also received approximately $1.7 million from the Community Works Fund which focuses on green initiatives and energy efficiency projects.

Cowgirls ride close to nature in 2014 calendar Sage Birchwater Special to Tribune/Advisor Robyn Mumford, owner of a homebased photography business, grew up on a ranch near Alexis Creek and did all the right things.

She spent 11 years in 4-H, got a diploma in Equine Production and Breeding Management at Olds College in Alberta, and was well on her way to establishing an agrarian career close to her roots. Then something happened.

Somewhere along the way Robyn decided to follow a different path. She left the farm and ambitions to breed fancy horses, and pursued her passion to view the world through her camera lens.

“You’d think I would be breeding fancy horses for the Olympics, which was my lifelong dream, but my true love is photography,” she confesses.

Robyn photographed her first wedding in 2005, and hasn’t looked back.

She formed her own business Robyn Louise Photography and now she has more than 160 weddings under her

“I have photographed weddings in Canada, the USA, Mexico, the Dominican Republic, and Holland,” she says. “As a photographer, I am truly inspired by each and every couple’s unique personality, beauty, and love.”

Last year Robyn created a cowgirls calendar featuring majestic horses, the magnificent scenery of British Columbia, and the natural beauty of real

cowgirls.

Back by popular demand, she has put together a 2014 cowgirl calendar, only this time with a decided edge.

The 12 stunning ladies with their magnificent horses also includes some tasteful nudity.

“It makes a great stocking stuffer, perfect for your husband, boyfriend, brother, father, uncle, neighbour or boy next door,” Robyn quips. “Or just get it for yourself.”

Robyn describes her work as real, classic and romantic.

“I capture moments as they happen and believe that these truly are what memories are created by.”

In documenting weddings she strives to take natural, expressive photographs, capturing the emotional connections between the couple.

“Anyone can tell a person to smile and take their photograph, but I attempt to capture genuine emotions,” she says.

Robyn’s success speaks for itself. In 2007 one of her photographs of a couple riding horses in their full wedding attire won first place in an international wedding photography contest.

In 2012 she place fourth out of 2,500 engagement photos submitted to in the Bride. ca contest.

The idea for Robyn’s nude cowgirl calendar kind of sprung out of her work as a wedding photographer.

“I’m often asked to photograph boudoir

and pinup shoots of brides before their weddings to give as gifts to their husbands on their wedding day, so I decided to create my own version of horse pinups and last year, I photographed and printed my first cowgirl calendar, all in the month of September.”

She says it was a huge success and a nobrainer to make a second edition for 2014.

“This past year I spent photographing nearly nude cowgirls and their horses in all four different seasons all over British Columbia.”

The Canadian Cowgirls calendar can be found in discrete locations around the Cariboo.

At the Hobbit House, Dandelion Living, Station House Gallery and High Country Pawn Shop in Williams Lake, and at Love Styles Adult (formerly The Love Shack) in Quesnel. The calendar can also be ordered online by logging on to www.canadiancowgirlcalendar.com.

4-H youth learn valuable skills Brenda Van Wyck Jadan Tayor Special to Tribune/Advisor Hello fellow citizens of Williams Lake and area.

I, Brenda Van Wyck, and my assistant Jaydan Taylor, are the new club reporters for the Rose lake Miocene 4-H club. To kick things off I’d like to invite kids all ages from six to 21 years old to join 4-H this year.

As a 4-H member

you learn cool things like how to fundraise, how to raise an animal, how to present a speech, how to judge market animals and projects, how to advertise, leadership skills, citizenship skills, life skills, and much more.

As a third-year member of 4-H, I can tell you that this is not only the coolest organization, it is also the most interesting; and that’s coming from a 17 year old.

Another thing about 4-H is that it’s not only for the kids; we welcome adults and parent volunteers to come join the 4-H community as well.

Jobs for parents can be as little as giving input and knowledge out at club meeting to as big and important as being small group leaders or even club leaders.

There is always so much to do in 4-H there is never a dull

That’s why this year we’re striving to make it one of the best 4-H years yet. Remember, the more the merrier.

Have I convinced you yet?

If not maybe I should give you a list of projects you can take on in 4-H: Market steer, market lamb, market swine, small engines, foods, photography, dog, horse, rabbit, adopt a grandparent, cavy, poultry, garden-

ing, wool craft, leather craft and so forth! I recommend 4-H to everyone because of all the personal benefits it has and all the learning experiences it gives.

Want to join? No trouble, just go to this website: http://www. bc4h.bc.ca and find the club nearest you.

Any questions? If so feel absolutely free to check the BC 4-H website posted above. I really hope to see some new faces this year!

“Look In The Mirror…WHO Do You See?” Go ahead…put down the paper and go look in the mirror. Who do you see? Perhaps a banker, a truck driver, a miner, a student, a mom? Look again…deeper. Who do you see now? A person who is familiar with anxiety, hope, regret, fear, or peace? Look one more time…WHO do you see?

Your dad? Your mom? a shadow of your true self? If you answered that you see a bit of ‘God’…well, let’s face it, you might sound a little crazy…but you would be fairly close to the truth.

Now, all you children of Abraham, there is no need to worry. This article is not promoting any New Age, pantheistic eastern view of human divinity. There is only one God. This author does not believe that we are gods, or that we are becoming gods, or that we carry the divine spark or a piece of God within us. We are flesh and blood, dust-to-dust creatures.

But let’s just talk honestly for a moment about Genesis 1:27 (NKJV) “So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.”

This one sentence gave rise historically to one of the most profound value statements ever about humankind. In fancy Latin

PARSONS PEN

BY JEREMY VOGT theologians talk about Imago Dei. In plain English-- according to the Genesis story human beings did not evolve randomly.

Rather, we were intentionally created to reflect the likeness of our Creator. We were made

by God in the image of God to remind the world what God is like.

Let that sink in. When someone spends time with you, they are meant be reminded of God. When you drive down the street and see that person crossing at the light, God’s intention was that your heart would leap to

worship God and remember Him. This divine intention is true of every single human being on earth regardless of ethnicity, language, gender, age, physical condition or social standing. The prisoner, the infant, the homeless, and the corporate executive were all meant to SHINE in a way that points to the goodness, beauty, power and creativity of the living God. God’s intention in the Imago Dei is the great equalizer.

You, your neighbor and even the last person you despised are all of immense, incalculable value from a divine perspective. You matter.

There is however, a major problem. Our ability to reflect God as He intended has been warped and broken. Perhaps you recognize this tragedy as you look honestly at the mess our world is in. Perhaps you even recognize the loss of Imago Dei when you look honestly at your own life. There is an answer to this problem. We can shine as we were meant to. The answer is a person who shone God’s likeness untarnished. He gave his life so that you could shine again. His name is Jesus and He’s waiting for you to call Him your Leader, your Friend and your Healer right now.

Easy and tasty honey beef with peas stir fry Happy New Year from Ken’s Country Kitchen.

I hope you have fun in the kitchen this year ahead, it makes cooking a whole lot easier.

I have not resolved to do more cooking this year, only better cooking.

Different recipes with creative tastes, and using a wild assortment of foods, that sort of what I want to do this year.

I would like to improve on my Chinese cooking, my Thai dishes and Italian.

From my perspective I like to learn all aspects of cooking, and although I have cooked many different kinds of dishes over the years, there is still lots to learn.

Just the other day I was making a sauce for a nice piece of beef or perhaps more like a gravy, and I put in some soy sauce with the butter and juices from the meat...pretty tasty.

That is the first time I can remember using a soy sauce in gravy. I certainly will be using that in gravies to come.

So, what is it you have resolved to do in the kitchen this year?

Are you going to try some bold new adventures in the culinary field or are you happy with learning a few more of the good old traditional recipes?

Perhaps try some new foods or that which you haven’t cooked for some time.

I watched a TV program about cooking a Christmas dinner and they cooked a lamb roast to go with the turkey and so now I want to try some lamb chops or a lamb roast.

I enjoy lamb with a mint sauce on the side, or a nice reduction sauce using dry wed wine and port mixed together.

Cooking is more than finding something filling for your stomach cause its supper time and you know you have to eat.

It is also about finding a good balance between the foods you eat throughout the day.

You can’t live on hamburgers and fries each day.

Cooking for me is also about expressing my creativity.

Ken’s Country Kitchen

with Ken Wilson

As a creative person I want to continually try something new...who says pickle juice wont taste good in gravy!

I just like keep trying to match and mismatch foods for different taste expression.

It doesn’t hurt to experiment...taste test the product before it goes to the next step in your cooking process... that gives you the option to leave it alone, or add something else to change the taste or turf it in the garbage can.

Here is a real easy Chinese recipe I have

tried on a couple of occasions.

This comes from a cookbook I purchased in Taiwan.

Stir Fry Honey Peas with Beef 200 grams of beef fillet 120 gram honey peas carrot slices 20 gram fresh straw mushrooms Marinade ½ tsp starch ½ tsp light soy sauce and 1 /3 tsp sugar Thickening ½ tsp corn flour and 2 tbsp water Seasoning 1 tsp soy sauce with ½ tsp sugar Cut the beef into small slivers and marinate for 10 minutes.

Clean peas, then scald the peas and mushrooms for ½ a minute.

Remove from wok or pan the fry the beef shreds in a little oil until

VALLEY AUCTION LTD

they are about medium done, that should not take long.

Add in the honey peas, seasonings, and

some thin carrot slices for colouring..you can make each slice into a neat shape for extra eye appeal.

Cook for about 3-5 minutes...don’t overcook.

Then add the thickening and serve.

Try a little creativity in your kitchen...you’ll like it.

Bye for now and Goood Cooking.

Sharing the joy in the Birth that gave rise to the hope of the future to Come.

Continue in the faith with peace and love.

LAST YEAR ALMOST 50 PEOPLE TOOK THE NEW YEAR’S PLUNGE

SPORTS NOTEBOOK Sunday, Dec. 29 Free Skate

There will be a free public skate at the Cariboo Memorial Recreational Complex this Sunday. The skate will take place from 2:45 until 4:14 p.m and is sponsored by Tim Hortons.

Sunday, Jan. 5 Family Fun Day

Angie Mindus photos

If it’s outdoor entertainment you’re looking for to kick off the New Year, head down to Scout Island New Year’s Day for the annual Polar Bear Swim hosted by the Williams Lake Rustler’s Rugby Club. Last year, a group of Australians carried their country’s flag before taking the plunge in the event, which raises money for the club.

Rustler’s to host 14th annual Polar Bear Swim Greg Sabatino Staff Writer This year marks the 14th year area residents will gather on the shores of Williams Lake to take a cold plunge.

The Williams Lake Rustlers Rugby Club is once again encouraging those with an appetite for winter excitement or a need to dust off the New Year’s Eve revelment to join the funat their annual Polar Bear Swim.

Participants and spectators are asked to gather on the Scout Island beach at noon to take the plunge or cheer on those who plan to jump into the icy waters of Williams Lake.

A temporary swimming pool will be carved out of the ice for the occasion.

Last year about 50 children and adults braved the icy waters.

Spectators also turned out in droves to support the event which is a fund-

raiser for high-school and youth rugby programs in Williams Lake.

Hot chocolate and chilli is sold by donation on the beach during the event to

warm the hands of spectators and jumpers alike and help raise funds.

A heated trailer is usually on site as a change room for the swimmers.

The Williams Lake Cross-Country Ski Club is inviting everyone to come out to Bull Mountain for its annual Family Fun Day. Skiers of all abilities are invited to try free cross-country ski lessons with volunteer instructors from the club. There is no charge to use the trails on Family Fun Day. For more visit www.bullmountain.ca.

CALL THE DREAM TEAM

We’re Not Just Realtors Selling A Home…

Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, this is your week to shine and let everyone at work know just how talented and devoted you are to the team.

Enjoy the fanfare while you can get it.

May 22/Jun 21 Distractions are lurking, Gemini, but you will still manage to get things done. Somehow you find the focus needed to muddle through all the work.

Jun 22/Jul 22 Trust someone close to you with a few of your secrets, Cancer.

Holding them in may only cause you grief in the long run. Don’t worry, your confidante will be supportive.

Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, an investment opportunity has piqued your interest. Until you sign over the funds, be sure to research everything thoroughly and call in some expert advice.

Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, you have a lot on your plate, but you can handle it on your own. If things are to get done, you will get them accomplished of your own accord, even if it takes longer..

Sept 23/Oct 23 Some added confidence is all you need to get back on the right track, Libra. Things are bound to work out in your favor, especially when you put your mind to something.

Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, just when skepticism seems to be taking over, you will discover once in a while there are a few surprises with happy endings. Enjoy your good luck.

Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, though unusual, your behavior might seem perfectly reasonable to you. But unless you share your thoughts with others, they may wonder what is going on.

Dec 22/Jan 20 Remember that words said in the heat of the moment will not soon be forgotten, Capricorn.

Don’t forget to employ some tact when discussing serious matters with loved ones.

Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, this week you will have to be very convincing if you want plans to go your way.

Brush up on your approach and give thought to exactly what it is you want to say.

Feb 19/Mar 20 Take a few days to let your mind wander, Pisces. You will probably find being a free spirit to be a refreshing break from the norm..

Clothes Dryer safety

Doing laundry is most likely part of your every day routine. But did you know how important taking care of your clothes dryer is to the safety of your home? With a few simple safety tips you can help prevent a clothes dryer fire.

• • • • •

• • • •

Have your dryer installed and serviced by a professional.

Do not use the dryer without a lint filter.

Make sure you clean the lint filter before or after each load of laundry. Remove lint that has collected around the drum.

Rigid or flexible metal venting material should be used to sustain proper air flow and drying time.

Make sure the air exhaust vent pipe is not restricted and the outdoor vent flap will open when the dryer is operating. Once a year, or more often if you notice that it is taking longer than normal for your clothes to dry, clean lint out of the vent pipe or have a dryer lint removal service do it for you.

Keep dryers in good working order. Gas dryers should be inspected by a professional to make sure that the gas line and connection are intact and free of leaks.

Make sure the right plug and outlet are used and that the machine is connected properly.

Follow the manufacturer’s operating instructions and don’t overload your dryer.

Turn the dryer off if you leave home or when you go to bed.

and don’t forget...

• • • •

Dryers should be properly grounded.

Check the outdoor vent flap to make sure it is not covered by snow.

Keep the area around your dryer clear of things that can burn, like boxes, cleaning supplies and clothing, etc.

Clothes that have come in contact with flammable substances, like gasoline, paint thinner, or similar solvents should be laid outside to dry, then can be washed and dried as usual.
