The B.C. Liberal government isn’t wavering from its goal of developing clean energy as negotiations con-tinue for an expanding natural gas export megaproject across the north, Premier Christy Clark says.

In a year-end interview this week, Clark responded to Coastal First Nations concerns that liquefied natu-ral gas (LNG) processing at Kitimat and potentially Prince Rupert could proceed without external electricity supplies.

Clark said LNG exports to Asia have been her top economic priority in recent months, with the original two projects on Haisla Nation land at Douglas Channel growing to eight proposals as international interest in British Columbia shale gas develop-ment has grown.

Confidential negotiations are ongoing with energy companies, and decisions on power supply have not yet been made, she added.

“Our plan has always been for the cleanest LNG produced anywhere in the world, so that’s been hydro, wind power and other renewables as well. But, we’ve always said there’s going to have to be some natural gas power produced to shape it.

“There’s another economic impera-tive we have, which is to grow our clean energy industry. We’ve got the third biggest clean tech indus-try on the globe, after Germany and California, and we want to keep grow-ing that.”

Last week, the Haisla Nation dropped out of its voluntary associa-tion with the Haida, Heiltsuk, Gitga’at and other communities that make up the Coastal First Nations (CFN).

Secondary students in the Cariboo are now able to take a secondary school apprenticeship at the Mount Polley Mine through a pilot program, Minister of Energy, Mines and Natural Gas Rich Coleman announced recently.

The project, which is endorsed by the BC Mining HR Task Force (BCMHRTF) and School District #27, is aimed at addressing the issues of an aging work-force and related skill shortages.

The program start-ed in June 2012 and will be completed in June 2013. An agree-ment was reached with Mount Polley Mine and, as a result, students and their trade area were identified from the dis-trict’s programs. Several mining-related trades and their students were available for the pilot.

Says Tim Fisch, Mount Polley Mining Corporation gener-

al manager: “We are pleased to participate in this innovative program, which will provide the youth in our region the skills necessary to take advantage of high-pay-ing job opportunities in our industry immedi-ately upon completion of their secondary edu-cation.”

Cariboo-Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett says apprenticeships like this one give stu-dents the chance to

learn real skills, which will help them in their career path, while at the same time addressing the skills shortage we have in mining.

“I’m very happy to see collaborative projects such as this one where both the students and the industry benefit.”

The BC Mining HR Task Force’s interim report on the project is available at www.a careerinminingbc.ca/educators.

Turkey is an impor-tant part of many holiday celebrations and the BC Centre for Disease Control has some tips to help you prepare turkey safely.

Proper food handling is especially impor-tant because turkey can be contaminated with bacteria, such as Salmonella.

It can cause stom-ach cramps, diarrhea, fever, nausea, vom-iting, dehydration, and can also lead to more serious compli-cations, especially in infants and the elderly. As many as 650,000 people become ill due to food-borne illness in British Columbia each year.

The following steps can reduce the risk of getting sick from tur-key:

Buy safelyAt the store, always

put the turkey in a plas-tic bag separate from other foods, as leak-ing turkey juices could contaminate those foods. Once home, immediately store the turkey in a sealed con-tainer in the refrigerator or freezer.

ThawIdeally, frozen tur-

keys should be thawed in the refrigerator. Allow about one day of thawing time per 2 kg

(five pounds) of turkey. Thawing in a sealed plastic bag under cold running water is also acceptable.

Once thawed, it must be stored in the refrigerator until ready to cook. Never thaw your turkey at room temperature.

SeparateEnsure there is no

cross contamination in the kitchen by keeping raw poultry separate from other foods. If possible, make any ready-to-eat foods, such as salad or raw vegeta-ble platters, before you prepare your turkey.

CleanWash hands with

warm water and soap for at least 20 seconds before and after han-dling any food. After preparing the turkey,

wash the counter, uten-sils and cutting boards with warm soapy water and then sanitize with a bleach solution before doing anything else in the kitchen.

To make a bleach solution, combine 5 ml (one teaspoon) bleach with 1 litre (four cups) of water.

Marinate properlyMany people now

marinate their tur-key before cooking. Marinating should always be done in the refrigerator. Furthermore, if you intend to use the mari-nade later, it must be heated to boiling to make it safe to eat.

CookWhichever cooking

method you use, always use a meat thermom-eter to ensure the turkey

is cooked. The mini-mum meat temperature should be at least 74 C or hotter, taken in the thickest part of the thigh and with the ther-mometer not touching a bone.

If the turkey is stuffed, then the stuffing must also be 74 C or hotter. To improve food safety, cook stuffing outside of the turkey in a casserole dish.

ChillBreak up leftover

carcasses into smaller pieces. Separate foods, such as gravy and stuff-ing, and put all leftovers into the refrigerator no more than two hours after serving.

Never leave leftovers to cool overnight on the counter before putting into the fridge.

Let’s talk turkey to keep dinner safe

In anticipation of heavy volumes at area emergency departments during the holiday season, the Interior Health Authority (IHA) reminds the public to take a few simple steps to avoid unnecessary trips to the hospital.

For non-urgent care during office hours, call your family doctor or the doctor on call for the practice or clinic.

Consider going to a local walk-in clinic, but call ahead to check the clinic’s hours.

Try to see your doc-tor before the holidays, if you have any develop-ing health concerns.

Note the holiday hours of your local pharmacy or drug store, and ensure your prescriptions are up-to-date and filled prior to the holidays.

Call HealthLink BC at 8-1-1 for confidential health information and non-emergency servic-es 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

For deaf and hearing-impaired assistance (TTY), call 7-1-1.

If you are concerned about a possible poi-soning or exposure to a toxic substance, call Poison Control at 1-800-567-8911.

If at any time you feel you require urgent medical attention, do not hesitate to go to the emergency department or call emergency ser-vices at 9-1-1.

IHA regional hospi-tals’ emergency services are available 24 hours a day; however, some hospitals may expe-rience higher than normal volumes over

the holidays. A triage system is

used at the emergency department to ensure priority is given to those patients requiring the most urgent care.

Tips for staying safe

and healthy:• Wash your hands

often with soap and water, or use an alcohol-based hand rub.

• Get a flu shot.• Ensure your pre-

scriptions are filled in

advance, follow dos-age directions and remember to keep your medications with you while travelling.

• Get regular exer-cise and eat nutritious foods.

• Do everything in moderation, including consuming alcohol.

• Keep activities fun and safe.

• Take care driving and avoid taking risks with the weather.

Drive BC also features route-specific weather forecasts, and, with more than 250 highway webcams stra-tegically placed around the province, motor-ists can also see the real-time highway con-ditions.

DriveBC updates are also available on Twitter and Facebook and motorists can register for text messages and e-mail to receive up-to-date information on their desktop or mobile device.

Calls for roadside assistance double dur-ing the winter with drivers reporting breakdowns, dead batteries and other problems.

These situations can be avoided with plan-ning and preparation. Drive BC features use-ful tips on preparing your vehicle for a win-ter trip.

Motorists should also install good win-ter-tread tires. Eighty sections of mountain-ous highway experience challenging winter con-ditions.

Drivers may be tick-eted or turned back for

failing to obey signs stating, “Use winter tires or carry chains beyond this point.”

Driving conditions in British Columbia can change suddenly and dramatically. What starts off as a sunny day can quickly give way to a blizzard.

Conditions can improve just as quickly, so delaying your depar-ture for an hour or two can make a big differ-ence.

Around the South Cariboo

Fun was had by all, including Cade Allison, Santa and Mrs. Claus at the annual Legion Christmas party held on at the Clinton Memorial Hall on Dec. 9. The Christmas party was held in conjunction with the Victorian Christmas weekend, which included Merchant Madness, a flea market, Skating with Santa, and lighting of the community Christmas tree.

Keith Chapman sold his amazing artistry in wood at the recent Lone Butte Christmas Craft Fair. His wood-craft business is located at Canim Lake, and his style, called intarsia, is a technique that uses varied shapes, sizes, and species of wood fitted together to create a mosaic-like picture with an illu-sion of depth.

100 Mile House & District Women’s Centre Society was paid a visit recently by members of the Cariboo Calico Quilters who dropped off several boxes of food items and supplies they’d gathered from their group. Making the Christmas delivery to the centre’s director Terri Lewis, fourth from left, were Jessie Shields, left, Gloria Koens, Gail Moseley and Jan Kidston on the right.

Children from Our Place Child Care Centre visited Carefree Manor in 100 Mile House recently. They enter-tained the seniors by singing Christmas carols, with the accompaniment of local entertainer Candace Copely.

Spreading some Christmas cheer in her Mrs. Claus outfit, Linda Newton took a break from serving in the concession to do some shopping at the recent Lone Butte Christmas sale.

Gawen Pinkett was helping at the booth displaying his father, Neil Pinkett’s, paint-ings at the recent Treats & Treasures seasonal sale and fun-draiser held at the 100 Mile United Church. The Horse Lake Community Farm Co-operative put the annual event together.

The annual CKBX Turkey Day campaign set a couple of new records this year since its inception in 1988.

The event raises money each Christmas season for the 100 Mile House Food Bank Society.

A total of 802 turkeys were pledged at $25 per turkey, bringing in a total of $20,050 as of Dec. 12. The previous high was 676 turkeys for a total of $16,900 and the goal for this year was 400 turkeys.

Another record bro-ken was for the single largest donation came from the Royal Bank of Canada (RBC) 100 Mile House Branch, which pledged 200 turkeys

with an equivalent value of $5,000.

RBC manager cli-ent care Cheryl Stecyk notes that through Criterion Capital Group and Kamloops RBC Dominion Securities, they were able to obtain a donation of $5,000 from the Robert L. Conconi Foundation.

“Our local RBC Branch was given the opportunity to give $5,000 to the charity of its choice, and consider-ing the time of year and the need in our com-munity, we were more than happy to see the money help the local turkey drive and ensure more people get to share a Christmas meal with their families.”

By Simone Jennings,Laura Kalina and Rose Soneff

For many of us the holiday season is marked by sharing great food with friends and families.

It’s a challenge not to over indulge at this time of year. Yet it’s not healthy to feel deprived due to avoiding food at social gatherings, while trying to stick to a diet.

Part of having a healthy relationship with food is being able to enjoy all foods in moderation. However, having healthy options available allows us to eat more nutritious foods along with the inevita-ble goodies.

Big things come in small packages and when it comes to calo-ries, appetizers can be huge. Despite their small size many appe-tizers are made with rich ingredients that are loaded with extra calo-ries.

Why not contrib-ute something a little lighter to the appetizer scene? To up the nutri-tional value without overdoing the calories incorporate vegetables, whole grains, plain yogurt or bean dip, into

appetizers. Aim for 50 per cent of the offerings to include some fruit and/or vegetables.

Here are a few ideas to consider:

• Stuffed cherry tomatoes - Slice cherry tomatoes in half and scoop out the pulp. Stuff the tomatoes with a small crumble of goat cheese and top with a little pesto or stuff with a small cube of feta and a thin slice of kalamata olive.

• Fruit skewers – Put a new spin on the classic fruit platter. Cut assort-ed fruit into chunks and thread onto small barbeque skewers or toothpicks. Serve with flavoured low fat Greek yogurt for a dip that contains a good source of protein and is easy on the calories.

• Assorted cracker toppers – Choose your favourite whole grain cracker and top with things, such as low fat cream cheese and jala-peño jelly, low fat cream cheese and smoked salmon, or cucumber and hummus.

• Tortilla pinwheels – Cover the surface of a 10-inch whole grain tortilla with low fat spreadable cream cheese, add some let-

tuce and fill with any of the following com-binations: thinly sliced cucumber, red pepper, green onion, and salsa; smoked salmon, capers and red onion; or feta, dried cranberries and green onions. You can also fill with hummus and veggies or use salad sandwich ingredients, such as egg, salmon or tuna. Roll the tortilla tightly (imagine rolling sushi) and cut into one or two inch pieces.

You can also help encourage healthier holiday nibbling by using smaller plates and putting healthier choic-es at the start of the appetizer table. Placing healthy choices up front encourages guests to fill their plates with the healthy options.

Remember, there is much more to the holi-day season then food. Enjoy time with friends and family by taking a walk together after eating. Consider plan-ning gatherings around activities, such as ice skating, tobogganing or skiing, to help encour-age activities that are both healthy and fun during holiday celebra-tions.

They are still united in opposition to the Enbridge Northern Gateway oil pipe-line proposed to go to Kitimat, but the rest of the CFN oppose pro-cessing LNG directly by mechanical equipment that burns gas.

Clark said full devel-opment of B.C. LNG will require construc-tion of the Site C hydro dam on the Peace River, as well as smaller hydro developments and wind power, such as that pro-posed off the coast of Haida Gwaii.

The CFN occupy what is now known as the Great Bear Rainforest, a vast area of the north and central B.C. coast with a land-use plan negotiated in 1996 with the B.C. and

federal governments. A group of United States-based environmental foundations matched the two governments’ $60 million financing for the protected areas plan, working with environmental groups Greenpeace, Sierra Club and ForestEthics.
