scam on the rise (again!)
Prince George RCMP is cautioning the public to be alert to a type of fraud that is on the rise once again in Prince George, Grandparent Scam.
This scam typically targets senior citizens, who receive calls from someone stating they are the person’s grandson, son or nephew, and that they were in a motor vehicle accident. They go on to say that they were arrested, went to court and are at the Prince George RCMP detachment. The call is then transferred to someone stating they are a lawyer, and that the relative needs between $5000-$10,000 to be let out of jail. Sometimes the lawyer says a bail bondsman will be by the house to collect the money. We are cautioning people to be wary of this scam as it seems so real. Before you transfer any money to a lawyer or bail bondsman, we ask that you stop and make enquiries with your relatives to verify if the information is true. If you have older relatives or neighbours, make sure to have a discussion with them, warning them that this is a scam and helping them to know what to do if they get a call like this. Seniors are heavily targeted by this and many other types of fraudulent phone calls and messages and are often pressured to act quickly in order to help, states Cpl. Jennifer Cooper, Media Relations Officer for the Prince George RCMP.
If you receive a call similar to this one, before you head to the bank and take out the money, police suggest you call a second person to ask their opinion on whether or not this could be true, or call that relative directly to make sure they are ok.
Be sure to report scam phone calls like this to the Prince George RCMP’s non-emergency line at 250561-3300 as well as to the Canadian Anti-fraud Centre at Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre (antifraudcentre-centreantifraude.ca) or by calling 1888-495-8501.

WILL IMPROVE ANY CAMPING TRIP
1. MAKE A LANTERN OUT OF A HEADLAMP AND A JUG OF WATER
All you need is your headlamp and a gallon water jug or a large water bottle. Any translucent bottle will do, but the coolest effect comes from the type of plastic that is not entirely transparent but rather a slightly cloudy color allowing you to see water sloshing around inside.
When it gets dark, strap the headlamp to the side of the jug so the beam is facing inward. The water container transforms into a glowing orb that casts light in all directions! This effect works because the water in the jug spreads the glow, which is dispersed further by the milky plastic of the container.
This makeshift lantern works great anywhere you need ambient light. Whether you need to look for something inside your tent, clean up the picnic table or start a campfire, your night just became a lot easier.
2. GLUE SANDPAPER INSIDE THE TOP OF YOUR MATCH HOLDER FOR EASY LIGHTING AND WATERPROOFING
Matches are an indispensable item when camping, but it seems all too often, things go wrong with them. They get wet, the case gets soggy or the strike pad wears down until it is smooth. This camping hack ensures
DID YOU KNOW??
"Bees will take their nutrients from anything which has sugar and moisture. Feeding them watermelon if conditions are tough is a good idea because it’s got plenty of fructose and moisture! The photo and information is from Heather Harvey, a park ranger with the National Park Service."
your matches will be ready to strike when you need them. Buy fine-grained sandpaper, preferably with adhesive on one side, to stick it to the matchbox. If not, some glue will do the trick. Attach the sandpaper inside the lid of a small waterproof container that will hold your matches.
The sandpaper will provide a large, coarse surface for striking, and the waterproof container will protect it. No more soggy matches or wet or worn-out strike pad!
3. LINE YOUR BAG WITH A GARBAGE BAG TO KEEP THE CONTENTS DRY
Weather is everything when camping, and a seasoned camper knows you can never be too prepared for Mother Nature’s fickle moods. Once you are warm and dry inside your tent, there is nothing to worry about unless you struggle to get warm or dry because your bag and all of its contents got soaked in the rain.
This trick offers the ultimate cost-to-benefit ratio: a single trash bag in exchange for warmth and dryness. Line the inside of your backpack with a trash bag before placing all your items into it. For the cost of a trash bag somewhere between a nickel and a dime you have dry clothes and a dry sleeping bag for your trip, guaranteed.
Avoiding wet clothing is crucial for your comfort and safety. Wet clothing can cause you to get chilled very quickly, which can lead to illness, so take this simple step to avoid this issue!
4. USE SILICA GEL PACKETS TO KEEP YOUR CAMP COOKWARE RUST-FREE BETWEEN USES
You know those silica gel packets that seem to appear in every product? They are quite useful for sucking up
moisture, especially in items that tend to rust. Buy a pack of them, or collect them from whatever packages you buy, as they may save your cookware.
In an ideal world, you would dry your cookware completely and store it in a moisture-free environment between uses. But weather changes, basements grow damp, and sometimes dishes must be dried in a rush before you stuff them in your bags and that is where silica gel packets come in.
Using these packets keeps moisture from rusting away your cookware between uses. It is disappointing to pull out your favorite bowl or skillet and find it spotted with rust, and this little trick will prevent that altogether.
5. PACK LIGHTER BY USING A SLEEPING BAG CASE STUFFED WITH CLOTHES AS YOUR PILLOW
Pillows are a matter of personal preference. You may prefer yours soft or firm, feather or fluff, Tempur-Pedic® or light foam.
However, pillows take up a significant amount of space in packing. Companies have developed inflatable pillows that roll into impressively small spaces, but rolling around on air is rarely very comfortable. This situation often leaves you stuffing a pillow into your bag that takes up as much space as your clothing.
To form the ultimate camping pillow, take the case for your sleeping bag and stuff it full of your softest clothing. Make sure the sleeves are unrolled and socks are not too tightly balled up so there are no pressure points, and shape the pillow to your liking. If you desire more support, add more clothing! You will love the fact that you have saved so much space in your bag.

Everyone 19+ Welcome!
TAURUS (Apr. 21-May 20)
Mercury, the planet of thought and communication will move into your sign where it will remain until 3rd June. It will make you very aware of personal decisions that need to be made which will likely involve bringing something to an end initially. Take your time. Avoid being distracted by unexpected matters you might suddenly have to deal with.
LEO (July 23-August 22)
You could get some recognition you don’t expect. This is especially good for anybody looking for a promotion but it might also just be about being more appreciated than you realised. Think carefully about any obligations somebody else might want to you accept up to early June. There are ways to reach a compromise.
SCORPIO (Oct.23-Nov21)
There can be so much going on with other people that will have an unpredictable element attached to it. The more you have analysed the situation since mid March the better prepared you will now be to decide what needs to be finished or let go. You do have the opportunity to establish a better balanced situation with reliability attached.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20)
Hopefully you have sorted out what needs to be your main priority in your mind since mid March because patience will be demanded of you from now until early June. This will be a good time if you are already aware of the fact that you need to contemplate. Start now with what you think is fair and balanced regarding obligations.
VIRGO
(August 23-Sept.22)
From now to early June it can become easier to make sense of any changes that have been out of your control when it comes to where it seems things might head in the long term. You can be confident of mind about what needs to be let go to make matters more efficient or manageable when it comes to regular routines or necessities.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.18)
You can make a clear cut decision now when it comes to what needs to be put in place, which might include family, that has had you procrastinating since mid March. The position of other people will be quite clear and you might have to decide how this alters matters you see as an important foundation of your life.
SAGITTARIUS
(Nov.22-Dec.21)
Your health or regular routines come under the spotlight. If you have been paying more attention to these, you could now start to feel you have it under better control. This can result in feeling more at peace with yourself. If this has been leading you to a point where you need to make a decision to let something go, now is the time.
PISCES
(Feb. 19-March 20)
You have the opportunity to communicate your thoughts or ideas in a balanced and structured manner. Having to focus, even worry about finances since mid March may have distracted you to some degree. The time has come for something to be brought to a close but on this score you need to be careful about how this is expressed.
CANCER
(June 21-July 22)
Wind up any commitments as they currently stand that you are not happy with. Someone might challenge you but it could also be that you could get some good advice from a person who knows or who has taken this path. The establishment of a more balanced structure in some way will give you much peace of mind long term.
LIBRA (Sept. 23
-Oct.22)
If you have not been able to get a satisfactory agreement from somebody else since mid March, now is probably the time to forget it, especially if it involves their finances in some way. Let decisions that involve others float until early June, mainly because they can be secretive. Focus on what you can control on a daily basis.
CAPRICORN
(Dec. 22-Jan.19)
You can now have a sense that what will be, will be, after perhaps a certain level of unsettledness since mid March when it comes to getting things in place. Making the decision now to let go and move on, is something you should be able to adjust to quite easily up to mid June. There is a level of enjoyment attached that can bring peace of
ARIES (March 21-April 20)
Any changing thoughts, even circumstances that have required you to be flexible can now be wound up. Finances will take your attention to early June and this can include some changes that need to be made. Your tendency will be towards more freedom or greater choice rather than being restricted through over commitment.
