Joan Flaspohler of the Williams Lake Fire Department guides crews to where grass fires burn across the valley from Tolko’s Lakeview log yard Thursday afternoon. Blocked access to the area was an issue for the firefighters in trucks, while other crews walked into the area above the log yard where several other fires appeared to be set.

Police searching for suspects in violent crime Angie Mindus Staff Writer Police are investigating a violent robbery this week that saw a female driver knocked unconscious for her purse.

Sgt. Rick LeBeuf of the Williams Lake RCMP said the woman was sitting in her car near

Western Avenue and Carson Drive with her window down at about 9 p.m. Tuesday when the attack occurred.

It is believed one or more people approached the woman without warning and struck her, leaving her unconscious. When she awoke her purse containing a large sum of cash, was gone.

“She didn’t even see her attackers approaching,” said LeBeuf, noting the victim is not known to police. “It’s a very unfortunate incident.”

LeBeuf said the 39-year-old victim was treated at hospital and released.

The Williams Lake RCMP are asking anyone with informa-

tion about this incident or anyone knowing of someone recently coming into a substantial amount of cash without reason to please contact the Williams Lake RCMP at 250-392-6211.

Government invites discussion on forest license conversions Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Whether or not volume-based licenses should be converted into expanded area-based tree farm licenses is the question government is posing to the residents of B.C. Minister of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations Steve Thomson has invited input until May 30.

“This public consultation process has come about because of the recommendations from the Special Mid-Term Timber Supply Committee,” Thomson told reporters during a media conference in Victoria Tuesday.

The committee rec-

ommended “increasing the diversity of areabased tenures using the established criteria for conversion” and a “walk before you run approach,” Thomson said, adding the government will look at regions of the province individually and will only move ahead if there is a strong case to do so.

When asked how area-based tenures would impact independent loggers, Thomson told the Tribune/Advisor the government is not expecting any changes.

“Again, impact on other tenure holders and other operators are all things that will need to be considered through the application and evaluation process,”

The timeframe and form of the so-called consultation process is extremely limited given the seriousness of the proposed policy changes.”

- Bob Simpson Thomson said.

Former provincial chief forester Jim Snetsinger is leading the consultation and will visit several communities, including Williams Lake, to meet with stakeholders.

He will be asking what benefits the public thinks should be sought from forest licensees

wanting to convert to area-based tree farm licenses and what criteria should be used to evaluate applications.

Former Cariboo North MLA Bob Simpson criticized the consultation process suggesting it is an attempt to justify what the government attempted to do before the 2013 election,

which is to rollover the replaceable forest licenses of the few remaining major forest companies to tree farm licenses.

“The people of B.C. rejected this attempt at rollover in 2013 and, as a result, the government promised more open consultation on the relative merits of areabased tenures and the

range of mechanisms to move away from volume-based harvesting to area-based management,” Simpson told the Tribune/Advisor.

Simpson suggested the government’s proposal will result in more corporate concentration and control of B.C.’s public forests at the expense of smaller industry players, the contracting community, and communities, and new entrants to the forest sector. People must pay very close attention to this attempt to increase corporate control and participate as fully as they will be allowed in order to have their voices heard, he continued.

“The timeframe and form of the so-called

consultation process is extremely limited given the seriousness of the proposed policy changes and the long term implications of creating more TFLs.” Yet Simpson is not opposed to more areabased management of B.C.’s public forests.

“In fact, given the most recent reports from the Forest Practices Board we need to quickly move away from the current volumebased approach to accessing timber,” he said.

“TFLs are only one means to achieve areabased management and one that favours corporate control over community or First Nations’ control of our public forests.”

First quarter real estate sales holding steady in 2014 The BC Northern Real Estate Board (BCNREB) reported 1,005 sales with a value of $248,635,086 through the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) in the first quarter of 2014.

In the Williams Lake area 64 proper-

ties worth $14.4 million have sold so far this year through MLS. Those totals compare to 65 properties worth $14.1 million during the same time in 2013.

On top of the 23 single family homes

sold, 16 homes on acreages, five manufactured homes in parks and three manufactured homes on land have changed hands in the first quarter.

As of March 31, there were 360 properties listed on the MLS

Ken Laursen, BCNREB president said real estate markets throughout BCNREB’s area continue to show strength, being led by a robust economy.

“In the north and

FOR ALL YOUR REAL ESTATE NEEDS

Acetaminophen is the most commonly used pain reliever in the world. But just because it’s popular doesn’t mean it can’t cause any problems. Don’t exceed the dose recommended on the label. Liver damage can occur with taking too much of the drug for a long period of time.

Do you remember your mother giving you oatmeal for breakfast because it would “stick to your ribs” and keep you full till lunch? Well, there is some truth to that. If you are always ravenous come lunchtime, try a bowl of oatmeal for breakfast. It will keep hunger away better than dry cereals.

Pertussis is a disease that is preventable through vaccination. It is a serious illness in infants where it can be life-threatening. Pertussis is also called “whopping cough” because of the “whooping” sound that is made when gasping for air after a fit of coughing.

Manufacturers of tablet medication put a score line on the tablet if it is okay to cut the tablet in half. If there is no score line, it may not be good to cut it in half.

When in doubt, check with your pharmacist. There is a good reason why some tablets should not be broken and breaking it could affect how it works in the body.

Comparatively, in the Quesnel area realtors reported 32 sales worth $6.4 million in the first three months of 2014, down from 46 sales worth $12.1 million in 2013.

Feds file judicial review against WLIB Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Disappointed but not surprised. That is the reaction of Chief Ann Louie on the federal government’s decision last week to file a judicial review against the Williams Lake Indian Band’s specific claims tribunal.

“Anything we’ve ever tried to do we’ve had to do through the legal system,” Louie said Thursday. “First Nations have won a majority of court cases and still the federal government continues with an outright waste of taxpayers’ money with judicial reviews.”

On Feb. 28, the Specific Claims Tribunal ruled in favour of the WLIB’s claim to land at the foot of Williams Lake.

It includes Williams Creek, Scout Island, the Stampede Grounds, the downtown core of the city of Williams Lake, and a plateau north of the downtown core.

Louie said she is disappointed because originally decisions of the specific claims tribunal were to be final and binding according to the established tribunal and because it was developed through negotiations between the federal justice and the Assembly of First Nations (AFN) in 2007.

It is the second time the federal government has applied for judicial review of a decision by the tribunal, said AFN National Chief Shawn ain-chut Atleo.

The specific claims tribunal ruling in favour of the Williams Lake Indian Band for lands at the foot of Williams Lake, including areas seen here, is being challenged by a federal government judicial review. promises that Specific Claims Tribunal decisions would be final and would represent a lasting resolution of specific claims, First Nations are deeply disappointed and concerned about Canada’s commitment to the fair and just resolution of First Nations claims and the principles of its own Justice at Last policy aimed at resolving claims,” Atleo said in a press release.

Judicial reviews put First Nations at a disadvantage because there is no funding to reply to a judicial review or the lengthy court process that can result, he continued, saying it is regret-

WLIB’s was only the third claim that has been completed under the specific claims tribunal.

Osoyoos settled its case, but Kitselas First Nation’s also went to judicial review.

“We anticipated ending up in the same boat so we’ve partnered with

Kitselas to challenge the federal government in a court case that’s occurring in Vancouver on April 7 and 8,” Louie said.

The Specific Claims Tribunal awards monetary compensation only, to a maximum of $150 million each, not land.

Certainty in an Uncertain World FRIDAY April 4

Seniors warn of scams in lakecity Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Two local seniors are warning the public about recent scams.

Mona Kavanagh received a cheque in the mail for $3,994 congratulating her for being hired to work as a mystery shopper.

“I was supposed to deposit the cheque in my account and then send $1,000 Western Union transfers to two different people,” Kavanagh said.

Charlie Simmons Knowing immediately it was a scam, Kavanagh ignored the offer, but decided to warn other people so

they don’t fall victim.

“I’m 78 and could have used another job,” she chuckled.

Charlie Simmons wasn’t as lucky. Earlier this week he was scammed of $4,000.

He received a call from a lawyer claiming Simmons’ granddaughter was in jail, charged with drunk driving and hitting someone.

“He had one of those voices that could melt your heart,” Simmons said of the scammer.

On two separate trips to Western Union, Simmons transferred money to a Barbara Parker in Ontario.

“I have to say, that Western Union tried to stop me, but I told them to do what I told them to do,” Simmons said. “When I went back the third time they outright refused, telling me something wasn’t right.”

It wasn’t until Simmons saw his granddaughter’s husband’s vehicle parked at work

Daffodil a symbol of support Every three minutes, another Canadian will be told, “You have cancer.”

A cancer diagnosis can be daunting, which is why the Canadian Cancer Society is asking everyone to buy a daffodil pin and wear it during April — Daffodil Month — to show their support of those living with cancer.

Two in five Canadians will be diagnosed with cancer during their lifetimes. But by wearing the daffodil this April, Canadians can show them they are not alone in their fight.

Daffodil pins will be available for a donation at several retail locations in Williams Lake throughout April.

“Please show your support and encouragement to those living with cancer,” says Arlene Gilmore of the Canadian Cancer Society.

“Wear the daffodil this April because we truly are all in this together.”

The Canadian Cancer Society is your best partner in the fight against cancer, and with your help, we know we can continue to in-

crease survival rates and save more lives.

Today, more than 60 per cent of Canadians diagnosed with cancer will survive at least five years after their diagnosis, thanks in large part to Society-funded cancer research.

In the 1940s, survival was about 25 per cent.

In addition to funding life-saving cancer research, the Canadian Cancer Society provides financial assistance, peer support, and other support services and programs to people living with cancer.

The Canadian Cancer Society is a national, community-based organization of volunteers whose mission is to eradicate cancer and enhance the quality of life of people living with cancer.

Thanks to our donors and volunteers, the society has the most impact, against the most cancers, in the most communities in Canada. Building on our progress, we are working with Canadians to change cancer forever.

Urinetown wraps up this weekend

Gaeil Farrar photo

Urinetown: The Musical wraps up a stellar run tonight and tomorrow night at the Studio Theatre. In addition to its lessons on the need to protect our waters, the play casts a somber light on the sad realities of revolution and war. Here the exploited Urinetown residents Soupy Sue (Mary-Jo Hilyer), Mr. McQueen (Brad McGuire), Jilly Joy Jill (Haley Tazelaar), Shufflin’ Sheila (Kirsty Gartshore), and Little Becky Two Shoes (Rowena Resuello) surround and threaten to kill their hostage Hope Cladwell (Amanda Dowling), daughter of the corrupt corporation owner.

Happily making the time to scroll down on life, baby Somehow, I love getting older!

With both a birthday and a pension coming up, it’s exciting to still be able to look down on the daisies!

Long ago, scrolling through birth years to find my own didn’t take long. But now it does, even on timesaving devices!

So, who’s getting old? With my eldest daughter brewing a baby, it occurred to me that no one ages any faster than anyone else.

New baby, you will age one day at a time, and so will I. That’s a relief, though I’m sure it’s just my wrinkles talking!

After that discovery I went looking for my childhood, and to my horror couldn’t find it.

Well, perhaps it wasn’t completely gone, but who wants to

live in antiquity? Thankfully, most uncertainties of my teens and early 20s are missing. And some other things have disappeared too.

Of course my definition of beauty has changed, though perhaps that is self-defense more

than anything. Real loveliness is no longer bone structure or youthful skin. It’s more about integrity, purpose, courtesy and character. But older doesn’t necessarily come with ‘wiser.’

Older arrives easily, while wiser needs regular refills and clear vision, and right now I can’t find my glasses!

With your permission, I shall be elderly for a moment — and reminisce at your expense. Life began to scroll for me in the 40s.

In the 50s our family’s plans pivoted to work with the needy in Africa. In the 60s we got caught in the Congo Rebellion, eventually fleeing the country to the percussion of bullets piercing our car. In the 70s I suddenly realized a person could quit school, but it was too late — I

was partly educated by then, thanks to my parents. Marriage occupied the 80s, along with a teeming freeway of children of various hues and origins.

In the 90s, our family moved to Williams Lake. That’s where I scroll now.

But looking back, something sticks in my throat. It occurs to me that I cannot resurrect as many memories of helping others as I can for helping myself. I remind myself of a faded baby book.

Temperance pledges signed but forgotten.

Poems memorized but not lived. Learning a language then using it lovelessly. Living selfishly. Except for once.

All our clothing in Africa came from Montgomery Wards, and was ordered six months

ahead — an expensive matter on a $200-a-month salary.

Perhaps that was why my mother hugged me and cried when I returned home naked one day, having given all my clothes away. Yet neither of us was sorry.

Today, trying to scroll down on my computer scrolls it up.

But life doesn’t offer me that option.

Long ago the Congo was a great place to grow up, a place to deliver little black babies while I was still a single-digit-aged babe myself. But there remain plenty of needs — right here, and happily I still have some time left to scroll.

Taseko should push forward on mine Editor: Re: Response to Russell Hallbauer.

I understand why Mr. Hallbauer and all those who worked so hard in support of the mine application feel so frustrated and disappointed.

Please let me be clear, I did not ever think that you didn’t try hard enough.

On the contrary, I believe the time and effort invested in this project has been immense.

And while the ultimate objective of federal approval has not yet been achieved ... a vital beachhead has been achieved and that is where all resources should be assembled in order to press on to success.

Beach-head, what beach-head, you may ask.

Please let me explain.

The strength of your second Taseko application backed by Cariboo public support prompted the Prime Minister to give a most interesting response when questioned about New Prosperity.

The Prime Minister recently attended a mining conference in Toronto. While there, he was questioned about New Prosperity.

He replied by saying that he turned down the application because it didn’t provide adequate protection for Fish Lake. There lies the basis for the third application.

Address it to the Prime Minister and lead with a detailed but clear description of how Fish Lake would be protected by the

New Prosperity project.

Mr. Hallbauer, I very much appreciate your response to my article because in it you explain that your plan to save Fish Lake would have come in a later step of the application process.

And that this plan would have proven that Fish Lake would be

protected. They never gave you a chance to make your case.

Fine, then start by making your case to the citizens of B.C. who wish to see responsible resource development proceed. Show them how your plan will provide more than adequate protection for Fish Lake.

If you were to do that, I’m sure a province-wide campaign could be launched that would get the attention of the Prime Minister.

Then submit your revised application which would highlight your protection plan for Fish Lake.

It can be done. B.C. will back

you.

Jim Shepard Vancouver Editor’s note: Jim Shepard is the former CEO of Finning and Canfor and was the spokesperson for CC4BC.

Rural B.C. projects steering committee moves forward I spent last Monday in Victoria as the Rural BC Project Steering Committee met with Donna Barnett, our MLA and Parliamentary Secretariat to the Minister of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations for Rural Development.

The committee gave an update on the work we’ve done since meeting with the premier and other ministers at the Union of British Columbia Municipalities Convention last September.

We had a productive discussion on the challenges and opportunities in rural communities, including relationships with First Nations communities.

A joint Beetle Action Coali-

From the Mayor’s Chair Kerry Cook tion/government staff working group, consisting of staff from the three provincial coalitions and four government ministries, is working to provide additional information to support the ongoing dialogue between the provincial government and the Rural BC Project Steering Committee and to develop a set of recommended actions that

would further rural development in the province.

These recommendations will be brought forward to MLA Barnett this spring.

The steering committee is committed to continuing to work with the Province on identifying concrete actions that can be undertaken to address these recommendations to improve Rural BC. Congratulations to Lynnette Cobb, who was one of 34 British Columbians recognized with a B.C. Community Achievement Award.

Lynnette has volunteered almost 50,000 hours for Canadian Mental Health Association Cri-

sis and Counselling Centre and 3,000 hours for RCMP Victim Services.

That is equivalent to nearly six years of time spent volunteering!

On top of that, Lynnette was actively involved in the construction of Baker Manor, a supportive housing facility for people with disabilities.

Thank you Lynnette, for all you have given to Williams Lake.

You are a true pioneer and pillar of the community.

Good news on the development front, as council has approved the new Aviator Hotel on South Broadway and a 14-lot subdivision on Centennial Drive.

We also expect more develop-

ment on the Prosperity Ridge site.

I addressed the Chamber of Commerce last week about the New Prosperity Mines “No” decision.

The city respects the decision of the proponent to proceed with its judicial review — in the meantime, we must move ahead and continue to work together for the betterment of our community.

We have a lot of exciting things happening in Williams Lake, and I’m looking forward to more great things in the future!

Kerry Cook is the Mayor of Williams Lake.

Eleven boys and two girls did something a little out of the ordinary on their spring break by signing up to spend four days and three nights outside in the snow.

The students were taking part in the Kids Wilderness Week, where they learned to winter camp near Miocene while earning their CORE, Wilderness Survival and Wilderness First Aid Awareness Certificates.

Sheila Gruenwald of RECLAIM Personal Development Inc. put on the course and said by the end of the week the children were more confident, better prepared to survive in the wilderness and very tired.

“The difference between when they came and when they left was like night and day,” Gruenwald said, noting she was very proud that all the children made it all three nights without quitting.

“They were all ex-

hausted but they had a good time.”

The students also learned to cook over an open fire and built their own snow caves

Spring ... On The ROad Tire maintenance an important safety precaution Tires are the link between a vehicle and the roadway, and tire quality has a direct impact on the performance and safety of an automobile.

But tire maintenance is easy to overlook.

However, ignoring tire maintenance can threaten driver and passenger safety and make a vehicle operate inefficiently.

Steering, breaking ability and traction are all governed by good tires. Worn tread can result in longer stopping times and make it difficult to brake immediately in an emergency situation. Although driving tends to be the primary culprit behind worn down tires, sometimes bald or unevenly worn out tread is indicative of a larger problem, such as a misaligned

wheelbase, improperly aligned tires or tires that are underinflated.

The following are some common problems associated with tires and how to address these issues should they arise.

Blowouts Worn tire treads increase the risk of punctures, which can lead to blowouts. Bald tires also may blowout as a result of friction on roadways that is met with minimal rubber. Getting caught on the side of the road with a tire blowout can be a hassle, so routinely check tire treads and replace tires accordingly.

Tread depth Average new tires on cars usually start with 10/32 inch to 11/32 inch of original tread depth.

When tread reaches a depth of 2/32 inch, they

are considered worn out. There are different ways to gauge tread depth.

A coin test is to insert a quarter into the groove. If the tread touches Washington’s

head, you have at least 4/32 inch of tread left.

Don’t have any currency on hand? Then look at the treadwear indicator bar molded into the tires. When these bars become flush with

Stop wildlife collisions (NC) Canada is a country where people and wild animals happily co-exist – except that is, for the times when some of us get behind the wheel of a car.

Wildlife collisions are a real worry for Canadian drivers, particularly between April and June, when wildlife collisions are most frequent.

The most costly result is injury or even death of both the animal and the driver.

They’re more common than you’d think.

A report from Transport Canada found that between four and eight large animal vehicle collisions take place every hour in our country.

“Most people, especially those in regions with a mix of urban and rural areas, need to be more aware of potential animal collisions,” says insurance and claims expert, Mauro Convertini, from Aviva Canada.

“It’s important that drivers know the risks and act responsibly behind the wheel to try to prevent these accidents.”

Convertini offers these tips to reduce your chances of being involved in a wildlife collision: • Read the signs and watch the road: Those yellow signs with the prancing deer are erected to warn drivers to slow down and to be more aware, especially at night.

• Stay in control: Never swerve abruptly – hitting a tree or moving into oncoming traffic can result in significantly more harm than hitting the animal.

Brake firmly if an animal is standing on, or crossing, the road.

• React: If you can’t avoid striking the large animal, be ready to duck inside your car. Big animals can come through your windshield and with a weight in excess of 100 kilograms it is

likely to cause severe injuries.

the adjacent ribs of the tire, the tires should be replaced.

Alignment According to the Rubber Manufacturers

Association, improper alignment causes rapid or uneven treadwear.

Tires should be aligned and balanced periodically to avoid irregular wear and having to replace tires prematurely.

Tread pattern Tires feature different tread patterns depending on the brand of tire.

They may be directional, asymmetrical, nondirectional, and directional/asymmetrical.

When purchasing replacement tires, it is adviseable to match the tread pattern to the existing tires. This helps enhance the performance of the car. In fact, some newer cars require tread to match.

Mismatched treads may cause problems with

transmission shifting or impact control and steadiness.

Tire pressure Underinflation of tires can cause failure, stress and irregular wear.

Underinflated tires also may contribute to loss of control that leads to accidents.

Always maintain the manufacturer’s recommendations for the correct pressure, which should be adjusted based on the temperature.

Tires should undergo the same inspection and maintenance as other parts of the vehicle.

Tires are a vital component to safe driving, and routine maintenance can prevent accidents and other problems.

Spring ... On The ROad Tips when driving in rainy conditions Rainy weather can arrive any time of year.

While an afternoon spent indoors watching the drops fall can be relaxing, driving in the rain is anything but. It requires extra concentration and improved reaction time. Rainy conditions can be challenging and treacherous, and drivers should proceed with caution on rain-slicked roads.

Rain is blamed for many accidents, but many of these situations are largely preventable among drivers who adapt to the weather and roadway conditions. Here are some things to consider. * Reduced visibility occurs from wiper blades, glare (particularly at night) and heavy downpours.

When you are unable to see the road ahead, including other vehicles, reduce your speed. If the rain is coming down in torrents, pull over to the side of the road and wait for a respite. Turn on your lights to ensure you are visible to other

cars on the road. * Recognize that rain can cause slick conditions. A film of water develops on the roadways, and that can affect the performance of your vehicle’s tires.

Less traction means the car can slip and slide.

Hydroplaning, or coasting on the surface of the water, is common.

Another, lesser-known condition is slickness caused by grease and oil in the asphalt. During a long dry spell, these substances build up on the roads. When it rains,

the oil and water doesn’t mix, bringing the oils to the surface and exacerbating slick conditions.

The first few hours of a rainstorm can be quite dangerous until heavier rains wash the oils away. * Water spraying up onto tires and brakes can compromise braking ability. That means it could take longer to stop under wet conditions. Do not tailgate and leave extra room between vehicles. If you drive through a puddle of water, pump

the brakes and test them out to be sure you can stop. Brake earlier so that other drivers understand your intentions and can react accordingly. * Avoid extremely large puddles. First of all, you cannot judge the depth of the puddle and you may end up getting stuck, especially in the event of roadway flooding. Water splashing into the engine compartment may damage electrical components.

Steer around puddles to be on the safe side.

Adjust your headrest (NC)—While buckling seatbelts is second nature when getting into a car – how many of us think to adjust the headrest? Reports show that headrests are one of the most overlooked safety features in motor vehicles today and many of us don’t realize the important role they play in preventing neck, brain and spinal cord related injuries.

“Headrests are designed to work alongside the seatbelt so that when an accident occurs

it prevents the head from twisting backwards, causing whiplash,” explains Mauro Convertini, an insurance and claims expert at Aviva Canada. “Drivers can sustain an injury from an incorrectly adjusted headrest even at speeds as low as 15 kilometres per hour – the same speed as the average bicycle.”

According to an Insurance Bureau of Canada study, only 14 per cent of drivers on the road have their headrest

in the proper position.

And the fact that whiplash is the most common soft tissue injury incurred during auto collisions underlines the importance of adjusting each passenger’s headrest properly.

Convertini recommends that drivers follow three simple steps in order to prevent injuries associated with improper headrest position: 1. Align the top of the headrest with the top of your head.

2. Position the centre

of your headrest so that it is slightly above the top of the ear.

3. Ensure that the distance between the headrest and the back of the head is between five and 10 centimetres.

As importantly, says Convertini, if you’re a family with multiple drivers, always make a a specific point of adjusting the headrest before starting the ignition.

More information is available from your insurance broker or online at avivacanada.com.

* Use extra care watching out for pedestrians. A normally observant person may be distracted by the rain, puddles and wrangling an umbrella and veer into the path of cars. Be mindful of the side of the roads and where pedestrians may be, such as around parked cars. * Change wiper blades twice per year.

You do not want to be caught with shoddy wiper blades in poor conditions. Without an effective wiper blade, rain cannot be cleared effectively from the windshield.

* Limit distractions inside of the car to focus even more of your attention on the road.

While some have become accustomed to answering phone calls or fielding questions from the backseat while driving, avoid such distractions when driving in the rain. Turn down the radio if you must and encourage passengers to remain quiet until safely home. * Leave extra time to get to your destination.

Rain causes slowing down of traffic. Rushing may increase your risk of being in an ac-

cident, so always leave extra travel time when driving in wet conditions. * Make way for emergency personnel. Accidents and bad weather are common. Slow down or pull over to allow emergency vehicles to pass by. If there are flashing lights on the side of the road, move into the left lane to give a wide girth around first responders.

Driving in the rain requires drivers to exercise caution. Making a few adjustments improves safety on the roadways.

Paying the price for politicians What do you think of politicians who abuse their expense accounts or those political types who stick their fingers into money that belongs to a non-profit organization?

Of course, it boils down to dishonesty in the end.

It’s money that comes out of our pockets, my friends.

Of course you know about Linda Reid, Speaker of the B.C. legislature, who took her husband on a trip to South Africa where she was to attend a conference.

There’s nothing wrong with a spouse going on a trip, but they better pay the transportation costs and anything else relat-

Why should the taxpayers have to dig into their pockets to pay for political significant others?

Linda Reid did apologize to the people of B.C. for the mistake and quickly paid back the $5,500 for her husband’s part of the South African journey.

Jenny Kwan, longtime NDP member who has advocated for the poor and for those

less fortunate, ripped off the Portland Hotel Society when her husband charged for a trip to Disneyland and to Europe with her and their two kids.

Kwan did pay back the $35,000 that was wrongly charged to the society to pay for the holiday, even though she says it was her husband’s fault.

Now Kwan has taken an unpaid leave of absence from the B.C. legislature. I’m not sure anyone has done that before. Who is looking after her constituents?

Not long ago some senators were also scamming the public by claiming expenses that were not legitimate.

Some suggest those

So far the community, has raised $400,000 for the unit.

Can you imagine if you were working in private industry and you ripped off the company for $35,000, how long do you think you would remain on the payroll?

Kwan and the NDP are also having their own party problems with dissension in the party ranks. Now, for-

mer New Democrat Premier Mike Harcourt has quit the NDP party over growing unhappiness.

He was not happy with former leader Adrian Dix when he told voters in the last election that the NDP would not support the Kinder Morgan pipeline.

Avoid ticks to reduce your chance of disease The arrival of warmer weather brings out dreaded ticks — small bugs that feed on the blood of humans and animals that can sometimes transmit disease.

“Ticks are most often found in tall grass and wooded areas so covering up before you head outdoors and checking for ticks on yourself, your children, and your pets after being outdoors are simple things that go a long way,” said Jennifer Jeyes, Communicable Disease Specialist with Interior Health.

The most common tick species in the Interior Health region is the Wood Tick which carries diseases such as Rocky Mountain spotted fever. Some ticks also have toxins that can cause temporary muscle weakness and paralysis if attached for several days, but the symptoms fade once the tick is removed.

Signs of many tickborne infections can be quite similar and include fever, headache, muscle pain, and rash.

The tick species that carries Lyme disease is more common in the coastal areas of B.C., but may also be present in low numbers in the Interior region. Less than one per cent of Ixodes ticks in B.C. carry Lyme disease.

In addition to fever, headache, and muscle pain, people infected with Lyme disease will often develop a rash that looks like a “bull’s-eye” target and expands from the site of the tick bite.

Other precautions include: • Walking on cleared trails when in tall grass or wooded areas.

• Wearing a hat, long sleeves, pants, and lightcoloured clothing.

• Tucking pant legs into socks or boots.

• Applying insect repellent containing DEET on uncovered skin.

• Carefully checking clothing and scalp (covered or not) when leaving an area where ticks may live.

To reduce ticks from

entering your home and yard, try these steps: • Keep your lawn short and remove any fallen leaves and weeds.

• Keep a buffer area

such as a woodchip or gravel border between your lawn and wooded areas • Trim tree branches to allow more sunlight.

• Keep wood piles and bird feeders away from the house.

• Widen and maintain trails on your property.

Needle-nose tweezers

can be used to gently grasp the tick close to the skin. Without squeezing, pull the tick straight out.

Be careful not to

crush the tick as this could cause it to inject its stomach contents into your skin. After removal, clean the area with soap and water.

If you have concerns or need assistance removing a tick, please contact your family doctor or visit a walk-in medical clinic.

Film club screens Dirty Wars We are slowly coming to the end of our season, which will be on May 6 with the Reel Paddling Film Festival, World Tour 2014.

In the meantime we have three films left.

On Tuesday, April 8, we will show Dirty Wars at the Gibraltar Room, at 7 p.m.

The film runs for 86 minutes. Language is mostly English with subtitles when required, countries are U.S.A., Afghanistan, Iraq, Kenya, Somalia, and Yemen.

Dirty Wars is a documentary which opened to big acclaim and then winning two awards at the Sundance Film Festival last year.

In the meantime it had also been nominated for an Oscar for best documentary and received more than 30 other awards.

Despite all of the accolades and the interviews on TV, you still might not remember ever having heard of this film. And there just might be a reason for that.

Many young people nowadays have grown up with the War on

Terror. They have become quite used to the news of drone attacks, shootings and bombings in various parts of the world. These are not really wars, more like counter attacks. Jeremy Scahill is a prominent investigative journalist who promised families of victims of such counter attacks to bring their stories back to the U.S. With his documentary, Scahill shows us there is a dirty secret behind the accepted saying – War on Terror. It means that all bets are off and almost

anything goes. Within the framework of War on Terror the U.S. and their supporters do not have to actually declare war, instead they defend themselves with drone strikes, night raids and U.S. government targeted killings in corners across the globe, killing untold numbers of civilians.

There is such an abundance of confusion, misinformation and disorganization in general reporting of these continuous counter attacks that we most often do not know anymore who and where these enemies are. And

Heather’s Fabric Shelf 5TH ANNUAL

the most difficult question arises, do we even care by now?

Scahill, who is the author of Blackwater: The Rise of the World’s Most Mercenary Army, traces the rise of the Joint Special Operations Command, now the most secret fighting force in U.S. history, exposing operations carried out by men who do not exist on paper and will never appear before congress. No target is off-limits for the JSOC “kill list,” not even U.S. citizens.

Director Richard Rowley and writerproducer Scahill’s Dirty Wars is a chilling battle cry for the soul and conscience of an America (and their allies) few of us know exists.

Their documentary is playing like a highoctane thriller, leaving you breathless and on the edge of your seat.

Gibraltar’s back doors open at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday.

Regular admission is $9, for Film Club members $8, and $6 for seniors and students.

“Yahoo!,” says Jude Prevost. The Cariboo Potters Guild’s Empty Bowls event held at the Gibraltar Room on Friday, Feb. 14 with support from community and other arts groups raised a total of $4,564 for the food bank. The potters are especially grateful to Della Rauch at True Food Services for supplying catering supplies for the event. Here Tracy Dale (left) serves Lisa Seabourn the Cattlemen’s Choice soup in one of the bowls made by the potters for the event.

Pinettes set to compete on world stage Greg Sabatino Staff Writer A Williams Lake father and son duo will represent Team Canada in Bogotá, Colombia, at the 2014 International Waterski and Wakeboard Federation Pan American Water Ski Championships.

Conley Pinette, 14, and his dad, Parnell Pinette, will compete in trick, slalom and jump at the Games, which run from April 14-19.

Conley, who has been training with Team Canada in Florida for the past two weeks, is the defending 2012 Pan American under-13 overall gold medalist and is the 2012 silver medalist in under-13 jump. Parnell, meanwhile, was a bronze medalist in the 35-plus men’s jump.

Following the Pan American Water Ski Championships Conley hopes to compete at the Junior Waterski World Championships at the end of July. Originally slated to be hosted in the Ukraine, the event has been cancelled due to political unrest, however, the IWWF is expected to announce a replacement venue in the near future.

Pilot project to offer free Want to Win $5000?

Enter the Masters Golf Pool mountain bike shuttles in July The Rotary Club of Williams Lake Daybreak has A joint pilot project between three organizations will pave the way for free mountain biking shuttles in Williams Lake throughout the month of July.

The city, in partnership with the Cariboo Regional District and the Cariboo Mountain Bike Consortium, announced Tuesday the project will begin July 5 and will continue each Saturday and Sunday all month long.

The purpose of the project is three-fold, the city said.

First, it wants to use the free shuttles as a marketing tool to further cement Williams Lake as a preferred destination to mountain bike tourists and to draw them to the region.

Second, it will use the project as a study for a potential new shuttle business in the area.

Lastly, the city recognized the need for a unique service for local riders to help promote mountain biking.

“Free shuttles, a draw to any downhill and gravity mountain biker, offer the opportunity to broaden the tourism experience and showcase the extent of the Williams Lake trail network,” the city said in a release.

During weekends in July the shuttles will pick up and drop off riders at designated trail network locations.

“We want to give people another reason to come to our region and try our mountain biking trails,” said Williams Lake Mayor Kerry Cook. “We feel that this initiative will help those visitors we draw here to understand the scope of the trails and the riding available in Williams Lake.

“At the same time we

partnered with The Rotary Club of Tsawwassen to bring you the Masters Golf Pool

The Puddle is doing the right thing. The mountain bike world knows how awesome our trails are.

Now they can catch a ride back to the top.”

- Mark Savard can get a better sense of what mountain biking means economically to our community and possibly open some business opportunities that will help enhance our community and its economy.”

Mark Savard, owner of Red Shreds Bike and Board Shed and CMBC board member, said if you spend any time at his shop in the summer months you’ll quickly hear requests for shuttling services.

“The Puddle is doing the right thing,” Savard said. “The mountain bike world knows how awesome our trails are.

Now they can catch a ride back to the top.

This is a positive thing that can really make you love the Cariboo.”

Final details of

the weekend shuttle schedules are still being ironed out, but the shuttles will follow a strict schedule running each hour between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. each Saturday and Sunday in July.

Riders utilizing the shuttles will be required to sign a waiver and fill out a questionnaire.

The city said since the initiative is partially designed to attract mountain bike tourists, 25 per cent of the seats will be reserved for out-of-town visitors, however, seats will be released to locals if not required each shuttle run.

Detailed information about the shuttles will be available at the Cariboo Memorial Recreation Complex, Red

Lacrosse Mania hits complex Greg Sabatino Staff Writer It was a chance for new players to try out the sport of lacrosse and receive a few pointers from longtime veterans of the game.

The Williams Lake Bighorns Lacrosse Association hosted its annual Lacrosse Mania event Saturday at the Cariboo Memorial Recreation Complex attracting lots of interest from newcomers and experts, alike, to the sport.

On the floor players were honing their skills for the upcoming Great White North Lacrosse League season.

Players took part in scrimmages, played pass and tossed the ball around while picking up new skills with the help of multiple members of the WLBLA coaching staff.

A gear swap also took place.a Practices — which run Tuesdays and Thursdays at 5 p.m. — began last week in the lakecity in preparation for the season, which

begins at the beginning of May. Teams competing in the GWNLL include Prince George, Quesnel, Mackenzie, Vanderhoof and Williams Lake.
