After years of quietly operating a children’s fund, the father of an eight-year-old girl who died from can-cer wants to step back into the public spotlight to help make sure other kids and their families who are fight-ing the disease realize this

resource is available.As many in the com-

munity will recall, André Chevigny’s daughter Avril inspired a nation more than 17 years ago in her brave fight against cancer, after being diagnosed with lym-phoma leukemia at the age of just six years old.

In 1995, over 40 RCMP

officers as well as staff from André’s company Pioneer Log Homes shaved their heads in support of the lit-tle girl in front of a packed crowd all dressed in Avril’s favourite colour, purple, at the Cariboo Memorial Complex. Avril was present at this fundraiser.

The entire community

grieved with the Chevigny family when Avril lost her fight with cancer in the spring of 1996.

“It means a lot in my heart and my guts to give,” says Chevigny, who created the Avril Chevigny Fund shortly after Avril’s death.

“When Avril passed away, that’s how I was

somehow able to stay sane, even today she continues to bless people, and she continues to make all of us better people.”

And the Avril Chevigny Fund continues to help others.

HELPING: Kids with cancerAvril Chevigny’s memory lives on in others

Angie Mindus photoAndré Chevigny and his son Tévis accept a donation from Walmart man-ager John Donnelly and his staff for $2,600 to the Avril Chevigny Fund, which helps local families through crisis when their children are sick. Chevigny started the fund more than 17 years ago after his daughter Avril died of cancer, and hopes the commu-nity will support him in raising the public profile of the fund once again to help families in need.

Families benefit from Avril Chevigny Fund

Angie Mindus photoA photograph of Avril Chevigny hangs in the children's playroom at Cariboo Memorial Hospital, a room that was made possible through the Avril Chevigny Fund after Avril lost her battle with cancer in 1996. Avril's dad André is hoping to increase awareness about the fund in hopes of helping other local families with sick children.

With support from the community, in 1998 the fund built the Avril Chevigny Memorial Playroom outside of the emer-gency room at Cariboo Memorial Hospital. Avril’s fund has also bought all the popsi-cles for children vis-iting the hospital for many years.

Since her death the Avril Chevigny Fund has helped dozens of local families with travel, hotel and other expenses which arise during a cancer crisis.

“When there’s a crisis, it happens now. The beautiful thing about Avril’s Fund is the family can receive help instantly.”

Though the Avril Chevigny Fund hasn’t been in the news for years, Chevigny con-tinues to work behind the scenes to assist families confidentially.

His two brothers David Chevigny and Bryan Reid have also helped secure fund-ing for local families

in crisis, also the West Fraser Truckers Assoc. André discreetly meets with the family in per-son or on the phone and helps and discusses their needs.

“It’s a real pride thing for a family” says Chevigny, who offers both financial and emotional support confidentially.

“I’ve been there, I’ve walked in their shoes, and I have thought all their thoughts….... I can sit across from them and they under-stand that I get it.”

After years of giv-ing, Chevigny was on the receiving end last week when John Donnelly of Walmart presented a cheque to the Avril Chevigny Fund for $2,600 given by a matching dona-tion from the 200 local Walmart employ-ees and its corporate office.

“Williams Lake is an amazing place to live,” says Donnelly, who said Walmart also gives to those in need without fanfare.

“But there are a

lot of people going through hard times and we need to help them. It’s our moral obligation to help.”

Chevigny, who was on hand with his youngest son Tévis to accept the cheque, was moved by the gesture.

Thirteen year old Tévis said, “It is very good that my sister’s fund continues to help families in need.”

André also men-tioned Walmart made a previous donation to Avril’s Fund in 2010 for $3,200. “Walmart and their staff are going all out to do this.”

Chevigny encour-ages the community to give once again through the Avril Chevigny Fund to help local families with sick children.

“Let’s face it, everyone is affected by cancer, all of the funds given to the Avril Chevigny Fund stay in our area,” says Chevigny.

“And we can help those families in need. Williams Lake is an amazing place, every

time there is a need this community steps up. I want to thank all the people for their ongoing support over the years, it certainly doesn’t go unnoticed. And when we give from Arvil’s fund, it’s from the community of Williams Lake, it’s not from André.”

Chevigny says he’s willing to do just about anything to help raise money for the fund, whether that’s flipping hot dogs for a special event, giving a talk or volunteering.

“I’d love to come do it,” says Chevigny, who is very thankful Avril’s memory and spirit has been kept alive all these years.

“My little girl con-tinues to still be pres-ent in our community, helping other children and their families, and that makes me very proud of her.”

Anyone interested in making a donation or has a suggestion for a fundraiser can con-tact André Chevigny at 250-392-0868.

The Cariboo Regional District says it now has a clear man-date to proceed with legal action against the City of Williams Lake.

During a Special Board meeting this week, the CRD del-egated authority to deal with the ongoing litigation with the City of Williams Lake to a Williams Lake Fringe Area Fire Protection Standing Committee consisting of all direc-tors except the repre-sentative from Williams Lake. The Committee then convened to review the results of the recent public sur-vey regarding preferred options for proceeding.

Over 60 percent of survey respondents indicated that they wanted the CRD to continue with legal action, while 25 per-cent voted to start a separate CRD run fire department. Only 15

percent of respondents indicated an interest in negotiating another agreement to replace the one the City is refusing to honour.

The City has requested that the CRD agree to attend a mediation session in an effort to resolve this matter. Mediation is simply the first step in the legal process aimed at resolving the situa-tion and if the CRD refuses this request, the City has the ability to take steps to force mediation. The tax-payers were already put to significant unneces-sary expense when the City forced the CRD to bring on an emergency injunction application last year to ensure that fire protection services were continued while this dispute was ongo-ing, rather than sim-ply agreeing to contin-ue the services in the interim. The CRD does

not condone this sort of approach and will not waste tax-payer’s money by forcing the City to take unnecessary steps to compel mediation. Rather, the CRD has agreed to attend the mediation and will focus its efforts, and the tax-payer’s money, on the primary issue of resolving this dispute.

If a solution is attainable under media-tion, all tax-payers will benefit from avoiding the costs associated with bringing the mat-ter forward to trial. If the mediation process does not produce an acceptable resolution, the legal action will

continue and the case will proceed towards a trial.

A public meeting has been scheduled for Tuesday, Feb. 12 at 5:30 p.m. in the Gibraltar Room to present and discuss the results of the Jan. 17 survey. During this meeting, CRD elected officials and staff will also advise the public of the proposed next steps based on today’s meeting.

The weather was perfect for being outdoors yesterday, with daytime temperatures expected to remain above zero throughout the week.

CRD proceeds with legal action

A strike of the City’s workers has been avert-ed, at least for now.

According to a City press release, the City of Williams Lake and the International Union of Operating Engineers Local 882-B have agreed to resume negotiations on Tuesday, Feb. 12.

The parties were in Vancouver Feb. 1 in front of the Labour Relations Board to set essential service levels after the union voted in favour of a strike last week.

“The City is extreme-

ly pleased that negotia-tions are resuming and we are hopeful that a set-tlement can be reached as soon as possible,” stated Geoff Goodall, general manager of plan-ning and operations for the City.

User groups at the Cariboo Memorial com-plex were in a state of anxiety earlier this week as it appeared that the ice rink and swimming pool would be shut down in the event of a strike, at a time critical for hockey, skating and swim clubs.

City and Union talk


Williams Lake RCMP are crediting the quick actions of a citizen with an arrest of an break and enter suspect on the week-end.

Just after mid-

night on Feb 1, the Williams Lake RCMP responded to a Break and Enter in progress in the 600 block of 9th Avenue North.

Insp. Warren Brown said upon arrival,

police observed a good Samaritan detaining one of the culprits who was struggling and try-ing to escape.

"This good Samaritan had thwart-ed the efforts of the culprits. The RCMP took the culprit into custody without fur-ther incident."

Brown said entry was not gained nor was anyone hurt.

Further investiga-tion revealed that this culprit had successful-ly committed a Break and Enter just prior at a residence one block away.

Brown said police suspect the culprit was not acting alone and the RCMP are con-tinuing to investigate.

The RCMP are ask-ing anyone last night or early this morning who saw or heard any-one suspicious in the 9th Avenue/ Western Avenue area (600 to 700 block), including door knocks where someone asked for a person who does not live at the residence, to immediately call the RCMP at (250) 392-6211.

The culprit is still in police custody and charges includ-ing Break and Enter, Attempt Break and Enter, and possession of stolen property under $5,000 will be forwarded to Crown.


At her prime new location at the corner of Oliver Street and Second Avenue, busi-nesswoman Jennifer

Bremner has carved out quite a niché for herself in women’s fashion in Williams Lake.

Bremner opened BFF Fashions in January, 2012 on First Avenue and relocated to her new Oliver Street location in August.

“I would do this move again in a min-ute,” says Bremner, esti-mating her business has doubled due to being more visible to visiting out-of-town customers downtown.

Bremner said BFF Fashions offers fashion forward contemporary styles for women in everything from formal evening wear to daytime dresses, jeans, sweaters and scarfs.

“At any point in

time we have at least 200 dresses in stock and probably that many scarves.”

Bremner said she often bumps up against Winners when buying her lines, but says all the hard work is worth it in the end to offer women a happy medium where they can come in and buy an item without it costing a day’s salary.

“I do a lot of strate-gic buying. It’s not as easy but the reward is the price point on the shelf,” Bremner says, explaining she holds out for “tail ends” and other deals to get the best price.

“It’s a gambler’s game but I love business. It’s actually a passion for me. I find it inspira-tional.”

Bremner was born and raised in Williams Lake and bought her first store downtown, Lynnette’s Look at the young age of 22.

At 26, Bremner sold the store to be a stay at home mom to sons Cole and Clay, now 25 and 22 years old, and is still married to her husband Rene Bremner, supervi-sor of maintenance for Maple Leaf Loading out of Chetwyd.

So, with her fam-ily grown up and her husband working shift

work, Bremner says she can put in the hard work it takes to make a business successful these days.

“This is my baby now,” Bremner says of BFF.

Bremner is optimis-tic about the future of business in Williams Lake and encourages businesses to consider a

downtown location and residents to shop local, whether that’s at the gro-cery stores, tire shops or the many retail outlets.

She notes that local businesses, such as all the other women’s shops downtown, really do work together, send cus-tomers back and forth and just really compli-ment one another.

Citizen nabs B&E suspect



Wyatt Bednarz is a big fan of two things; Shania Twain and col-lectables.

As luck would have it, those two worlds met perfectly for Bednarz while in Las Vegas at the new Shania Twain concert at Caesar’s Palace.

Bednarz and his wife Gail, who pur-

chased tickets to Twain’s concert two years before the show, were headed to see her in concert Dec. 8 for only her third show when they stumbled across a store in the hotel where Twain had signed limited edition prints.

Accordingly to the fellow at the store, Twain left without taking the first print

-- something artists apparently never do.

“He can’t figure why she didn’t keep it,” says Bednarz, obvi-ously thrilled with his lucky break.

Bednarz brought the print back home to Williams Lake after the show, had it framed and is excited to find it a home in the couple’s house.

No stranger to

finding treasures oth-ers have overlooked, Bednarz is the owner of Williams Lake Scrap Metal where there is always an opportuni-ty to find something exciting dropped off right at his doorstep.

“I get stuff every day,” said Bednarz.

One of his most prized drop off items -- a 1930 washing machine -- was actual-

ly featured on the tele-vision show American Restoration recently, and will be aired in Canada next summer.

“Someone just dropped it off.”

A fan of the show, Bednarz contacted the show’s star Rick Dale about the wash-ing machine, and Dale restored it and then featured it on the show.

It goes without say-ing that Bednarz is also a fan of the show Pawn

Stars, and has seen it filmed live too.

Bednarz said Dale is expecting to make a trip to Williams Lake in the spring to have a first hand look at all of his treasures.

Bob Simpson, the Independent MLA for Cariboo North, is call-ing on the minister of forests and the NDP forest critic to provide more clarity about the tenure reform bill the government plans to introduce this session.

“The minister of for-ests claims he’s acting on an explicit recom-mendation of the tim-ber supply committee to convert major licensees’ volume-based tenures to area-based tenures,” said

Simpson. “I can’t find that recommendation anywhere in the com-mittee’s report.”

Simpson says the opposition forest critic, who served as deputy chair of the timber sup-ply committee, must respond to the Minister’s contention that he’s act-ing on the committee’s recommendation.

“Enabling the con-version of major com-panies’ volume-based licences to area-based tenures ... could lead

to the majority of BC’s public forests coming under the control of a few major forest com-panies. The government does not have the social licence to support the monopolization and privatization of BC’s largest public asset.”

Responding to Simpson’s claims about the nature and intent of the tenure reform bill, the minister says it’s unfair to criticize the bill until it has been made public.

Forest Tenure Reform

Bednarz has a knack for finding treasures

Angie Mindus photoBruce Charbonneau of Frames Creations by Bruce gives Wyatt Bednarz his new framed Shania Twain print that Bednarz bought for a sweet deal in Las Vegas.

Recently a number of people in the Williams Lake area have been call-ing the RCMP to report a computer scam. The gist of the scam is that a message will appear on your computer screen advising you the you of a secu-rity alert and that you need to send money (usually $100) to a company/ organization within a certain period of time. If you refuse, the message tells

you that they will report you to the RCMP. There is even a police insignia on the message. This is a scam. What has happened is that your computer has been infected with a virus. The RCMP suggests that you do not fol-low prompts or direction from this message and immediately contact a computer repair service as you have already contracted the virus.

Computer Scam alert


It’s the only medal I have ever won. When I came home sporting the ribbon and its shiny, suspended disc, it was an exciting moment. Perhaps the where and when don’t matter as I almost didn’t compete, but at the last minute I decided to enter.

While it wasn’t the Olympics or an event likely to be on CBC News, a quivering bit of pride told me I ought to try. Besides, if I didn’t win, I could just keep my mouth shut, and no one at home would know.

The Sudoku compe-tition was for all 4.200 cruise passengers. But a couple of other details weigh in, too. First of all, there were only two

people who showed up. And, need I say that I won second place? A bit of a fall from high hopes to slowest and last!

Patting ourselves on the back, we wallow in our plastic triumphs. But, like the 50-cent medallion I keep as a reminder, some awards don’t mean much.

Everyone can receive medals if they set their sights low enough. And if nothing seems rewarding, my grand-son’s suggestion by the trophy case might help, “Grandma, if you want

one of those trophies, couldn’t you just buy one for yourself?”

Maybe we should honour ourselves for the ordinary - stuff like driving to town, eating, or answering the phone. Just so we each had a trophy or two. Wearing clean clothes is notable, or saying hello, right? Awards everywhere! Really?

But prizes are for the unusual and diffi-cult, or they used to be. And there remain many needy human battlegrounds to choose from. If someone

erased bullying, or ran oodles of marathons, or abolished slavery - they might deserve a medal. Efforts such as taking coats to shivering park residents might qualify, too - when done for dozens of years.

Enjoying the taste of recognition begins in Kindergarten. But children who are sent home daily with only small and short-term projects may lose the life-sustaining vision of striving longer and harder. Encouragement is fine, and needed. Though somehow in

recent years, affirming and positives seem to have largely taken the place of production, delayed gratification, accountability and hard work. For praise we seem to have replaced loving honesty with the kindest dishonesty. Now almost anything is a “good job!”

More than ever there is desperate need for heroes. Not those loud, bombastic, self-honoring braggarts, but steady, everyday folk who deserve medals for the titanic faithfulness they offer. Will we have

heroes in our future, or a generation that is satis-fied with near-meaning-less goals and pathetic 50-cent medals?

Actually, every-one can earn a medal. Because it’s easy. But easy is meaningless. No trophies for me, thanks. Most of them aren’t worth much any-way. This year perhaps I will take aim at really important stuff, with or without a medal. And who cares if no one ever knows! I will know. And that will be enough. [email protected]

How everyone can win a medal

The end of an era was marked earlier this week in the Internet world with a nod of respect by a copper-coloured Google head-line with a shiny turn-ing penny in one of the Os.

Yes, as of Monday, Feb 4. the banks stopped handing out the beloved Canadian penny.

Businesses and banks however will still be accepting pen-nies for those of you who have stashes at home.

The Canadian government actually stopped making the penny earlier this year, after deciding it was time to let the curren-cy go since it was cost-ing more than a cent

and a half to make.A logical decision

no doubt, but since when are emotions logical?

I think we'll all miss the penny for many of our own nostalgic reason and also, par-ticularly when we get to the counter and a business rounds up our purchase. Maybe it's only a few cents,

but the idea of a store rounding up a pur-chase is just plain irri-tating.

One way out of rounding up or down purchases, of course, is by using debt or credit cards.

The loss of penny also begs the ques-tion … are we going to start counting our nickels now?

A penny for your thoughts

Fans were treated to an incred-ible Super Bowl on Sunday between the San Francisco 49ers and Baltimore Ravens. The Baltimore Ravens were dubbed ‘Surge Protectors’ after the game, as a 40 plus minute power outage at the New Orleans Super Dome brought the game to a stand-still. The Ravens led comfortably at 28-6 and it looked as though the lights were going out on the 49ers when power was lost early in the third quarter. The Ravens had all the momentum after an NFL record 108 yard kick-off returned for a touchdown by Jacoby Jones.

However, when power was restored it was all San Francisco who battled back to within two points at 31-29 in the fourth quarter. With the Ravens leading 34-29, Colin Kaepernick and the San Francisco 49ers looked poised to complete one of the greatest comebacks in Super Bowl history. The 49ers had a first-and-goal from Baltimore's 7-yard line with 2:39 to play. After a 2-yard run by LaMichael James on first down, Kaepernick tried and failed to connect with Michael Crabtree on the next two plays. The game eventually came down to one final

play, a fourth and goal on the five-yard-line. Kaepernick again failed to connect with Crabtree for a third successive time allowing the Ravens to take over on downs and run out the clock. The 49ers and most people agreed that the official missed a defensive holding call missed on the play and the 49ers were robbed of the Super Bowl.

I predicted a San Francisco victory and despite being disap-pointed I couldn’t help but feel happy for Ray Lewis. People can say what they want about the man’s indiscretions off the field but he will go down as perhaps the greatest leader in NFL history. Hollywood couldn’t have wrote a better script, as back on January 2, Lewis told his teammates that this would be his "last ride." In a post-game interview Lewis described how there was no sense of panic during those season-defining final snaps of his career. "You know, honestly, the most exciting thing ever was the conversations that we were having at the goal line," Lewis said. "Nobody ever pan-icked -- everybody looked at each other and there was no panic." When Kaepernick's final pass fell incomplete, Lewis sprawled on the turf as a Super Bowl cham-

pion for the second time.Joe Flacco was a deserving

MVP of the game. The quarter-back’s perhaps most remarkable final playoff stats were his touch-down to interception ratio as he threw for 11 touchdown passes with zero interceptions. Flacco is a pending free agent who will undoubtedly get a new deal and remain a Raven.

There are only two Super Bowl games I can recall off the top of my head that were as exciting. There was back in 1999 when the Tennessee Titans came up one yard short of the end zone against the St. Louis Rams at Super Bowl XXXIV.

I also remember as a seven-year-old boy hearing the announcer’s famous “Wide Right” call describ-ing Buffalo Bills kicker Scott Norwood's missed 47-yard field goal attempt as time expired at the end of Super Bowl XXV back in 1991. The New York Giants held on for the 20–19 victory in what was the closest Super Bowl ever. That was the Buffalo Bills first of four consecutive Super Bowl losses. The city of Buffalo had not won a major sports champi-onship since 1965 so Norwood's unsuccessful attempt had an even greater significance.

Super Bowl a treat for fans

The Williams Lake & District Chamber of Commerce and the BC Chamber of Commerce are host-ing a Governance Workshop on Thursday Feb 14.

One of the basics of effective governance is a framework from which to operate. The frame-work consists of all of the elements needed by a board to carry on its business. The frame-work is very much like a tool kit. Just as each tool in the kit enables you to perform a spe-cific function or task so

do the components of the framework. When all components of the framework exist and are up to date they can be used to help make gov-ernance an easier and more effective job.

This will be an all day workshop. The cost for a non-profit to attend is $100 per per-son and includes cof-fee breaks and lunch as well as your work books. This is an incredible opportunity for any individual who is working with a non-profit association or is volunteering on any committee/board. You must pre-register by Friday, Feb. 8.

Passport Clinic – February 20 tentative – we have had a few inquiries about having our MP Dick Harris host a Passport Clinic. If you are interested, we are asking you to call us before Feb. 6. We will not be having a clinic if there isn’t enough inter-est.

The Sandman Inn invites all members to an Open House to

celebrate their renova-tions. The event will be Wednesday, Feb 20 from 5pm – 7pm.

Transition into PST – The Ministry of Finance and Williams Lake & District Chamber of Commerce

are hosting a seminar on Tuesday Feb. 26 from 9 a.m. To 11:00 am. The cost to attend is $10 pp or $18 for two if from the same company – pre-registra-tion required.

New website pro-motes investment

A new regional investment attrac-tion website, Invest Ca r iboo -Ch i l co t in Coast BC, has been launched to promote the exciting invest-ment opportunities in British Columbia’s central interior and coast. Invest Cariboo-Chilcotin Coast BC is an interactive web-site that showcases where the best invest-ment opportunities and major projects

are located in this stunning region of Canada’s western-most province. Northern Development Initiative Trust has partnered with communities throughout the central interior and coast to develop an online por-tal designed to attract

new investment to one of the province’s most historic and well- trav-elled regions.

The portal, unique-ly branded around the region’s ties to the for-estry sector, is the first of its kind to promote investment opportu-nities in the Cariboo-

Chilcotin Coast. The site features an interac-tive map that identifies key major projects and investment opportu-nities throughout the region, including spe-cific details about each project. In addition, the website includes comprehensive profiles

of regional communi-ties and relevant infor-mation to showcase the Cariboo‐ Chilcotin Coast as a preferred place to invest.

Municipal econom-ic development offices throughout the region played a critical role in the development of Invest Cariboo-Chilcotin Coast BC, developing content for community profiles and working with busi-ness and industry part-ners to develop profiles of key investments.

The BC Liberals will introduce legislation in this short pre-election session to give Cabinet and/or the Minister of Forests the ability to convert replaceable volume-based timber licences to area-based tenures. The bill will consist of a few short paragraphs that will enable a designated politician to set the rules by which a pri-vate corporation can be given exclusive rights over areas of our pub-lic forests.At best, some

of the rules governing the rollover of volume-based licences to area-based tenures may be publicly announced as regulations set by Cabinet sometime after the legislation is passed. However, sources involved in discussions with government about this proposed legisla-tion are hearing that most of the rules will be guided by policy, which can be estab-lished and revised by a Minister and his or her staff without refer-ence to Cabinet, the Legislature, or the pub-

lic.The Minister of

Forests has publicly claimed that the rec-ommendation to enable the rollover of forest licences was made by the Timber Supply Committee after their public meet-ings last summer. This is patently false: the Committee suggested a variety of consider-ations “if conversion to more area-based ten-ures is desirable.” What the Committee discov-ered in its hearings is that while there is some support for more area-

based tenures, there is still confusion and con-cern about any major shift to this form of tenure because of the exclusivity of rights they give private corpo-rations over our public forests.

When Social Credit attempted a similar rollover in 1988, wide-spread public back-lash squashed the pol-icy change. We need to mount a similar response to stop this unseemly, ill-timed, and politically motivat-ed attempt to funda-mentally alter our pub-

lic forest tenure system.Instead of passing

legislation that would enable the whole-sale conversion of the replaceable forest licences held by a few large forest companies, the government should take the conversation about area-based ten-ures that was started by the Timber Supply Committee to the next level by conducting a specific, time limited consultation on tenure reform throughout the province (not simply in the mountain pine beetle zone).

Decay of beetle-killed trees has the potential to emit large reserves of greenhouse gases and accentuate climate change. However, harvesting these stands for wood products and bioenergy could increase emissions even more. The purpose of Wyatt’s research is to compare the carbon footprint of these two potential management strategies. The movement towards short-term use of harvested timber and fiber in bioenergy is a contentious issue and should be decided on the basis of scientific data.

On hand for the opening were councillor Laurie Walters, owner Brian Evjen, counsellor Ivan Bonnell, Mayor Kerry Cook, owner Lance Marshall and owner Carl Seibert. Evjen, Marshall and Seibert purchased the pub and beer and wine store in 2012 from Tom Barr and doubled the size of the store, while refurbishing and reopening the cozy neighbourhood pub. Marshall said the trio really wanted to keep the history and feel of the original pub that Barr created and bring the pub back to the neighbourhood.

Parents spend thou-sands of dollars a year in childcare expenses, so being able to claim them on your taxes can mean a sizeable deduction. But like any deduction, there are rules and guidelines for

what you can and can’t claim. Here are some of the most common considerations:

• No receipt, no claim: Your child-care provider must give you a receipt for childcare expenses.

Individuals who offer childcare must provide their Social Insurance Numbers (SINs) on the receipt. If your childcare provider refuses to pro-vide a receipt, you can-not claim the expenses.

• All in the fam-ily: If your mother or mother-in-law is caring for your children, you can claim the amount you pay her as child-care expenses. However,

she also has to provide a receipt with her SIN and claim the money on her income tax. Remember, you can earn up to $10,822 fed-erally in 2012 before you have to pay income taxes.

• Minors don’t count: If you pay your 12-year-old child to look after brothers and sisters, this is not an eli-gible childcare expense.

• Lower-income claims: The higher-income spouse can only claim childcare expenses in specific situations; for example, periods during which the low-er-income spouse is in school, jail or in hos-pital. Otherwise, the childcare expenses have to be claimed by the lower-income spouse, and expenses cannot be transferred even when the entire amount can-not be used.

• M a t e r n i t y leave income: Childcare expenses can only be claimed against employ-ment income and other

earned income. And they have to be claimed by the lower-income spouse. Maternity leave benefits are not consid-ered earned income for the childcare claim, and generally someone on maternity leave will be the lower income earner.

• S u m m e r camps: You may claim only the childcare por-tion of this expense, so you should ask your provider for a detailed receipt.

• Lu n c h - t i m e supervision: If you pay to have your child stay at school to eat lunch, this supervision fee is con-

sidered an eligible child-care expense. However, you cannot include the cost of food.

The most impor-tant thing is to keep your receipts. Without receipts, you cannot claim any childcare expenses.

TALKING TAXES

For most students, the end of April means the end of exams – not the deadline for filing a tax return. However, there are a number of tax credits and breaks designed for students and filing early could mean your refund arrives in time for Spring Break.

All full- and part-time students receive a T2202A form for the total tuition fees paid for the year. This form also allows full-time students to claim an education amount of $400 per month while

part-timers are allowed $120 per month. Hang on to your T2202A – without it, you cannot claim tuition and edu-cation amounts.

Students are also eli-gible for the Textbook Tax Credit. The credit is $65 for every month the student qualifies for the education amount. Part-time students can claim $20 per qualify-ing month. The credit does not depend on how many textbooks you purchase – it is standard for every stu-dent who qualifies.

Students who do

not need to use the full amount of their cred-its to reduce their tax payable to zero must decide whether to trans-fer the unused portion to a parent or grandpar-ent or carry it forward to claim themselves in future years. For exam-ple, if a student has $5,000 of tuition and education amounts and needs $1,000 to bring the tax payable to zero, he or she has $4,000 available for transfer or carry forward. In either case, the student must file a tax return in order for the transfer or carry

forward to be recorded. If you are married

or living common-law, you also have the option to transfer the unused portion to your spouse or partner. Only the student can decide whether to transfer the credit to a parent, grandparent or spouse or carry it forward for future use.

For students receiv-ing scholarships, bursa-ries and other awards, the income is non-tax-able if you qualify for the education credit. This includes elementa-ry and secondary school

scholarships.For students study-

ing abroad, the govern-ment reduced the num-ber of weeks required to claim tuition and other student credits. Now an overseas program needs to be at least three weeks in length rather than 13 weeks.

And there are some expenses students can claim on their taxes. Moving expenses to take a summer job can be deducted against your income from that job. The Public Transit Amount also offers a tax credit if you take public

transit regularly to get to school. Transit passes of a month or longer are eligible for the cred-it and the government recently expanded the tax credit to include weekly passes purchased for four consecutive weeks and electronic payment cards. But remember, you need to keep your old passes or receipts in order to claim the credit.

University and col-lege students are usu-ally overwhelmed by paperwork at the begin-ning of each semester but keeping accurate

records and all govern-ment slips is extremely important. Without receipts to back up claims, your tax return will likely be reviewed and the claim may be disallowed.

And remember – keg parties may be an enter-tainment expense but they are not a deduct-ible one.

Tax Time Can Be Rewarding for Students

Joint or shared-custody situations can create their own challenges once each par-ent starts to think about their tax return. Sometimes agreeing on who gets to claim the credits and benefits can be difficult, and it is important to understand what you can and can’t claim depending on your custody situation.

If you are the parent with primary cus-tody, you are allowed to claim the $10,822 amount for an eligible dependant for one child. Some people call this the equivalent to spouse credit, since this is the same amount you could claim for a spouse with no income. However, you have to support the child in a dwelling which you live in and maintain If you claim the equivalent to the spouse amount, you can also claim the $2,191 child amount.

For people in joint-custody situations with two children, each parent can claim an amount for an eligible dependant for one of

the children as long as they are not required to pay child support.

The $2,191 child amount is available for any child younger than 18. In primary-cus-tody situations, the main parent is the only one who can claim this credit. Joint-custody parents need to agree on which parent will claim the credit for the child or children. If you can’t agree, then the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) will not allow either parent to claim it, so it may be worth spelling out the tax credits in a separation or custody agreement.

Even if you agree about claiming the child credits, the CRA may still ask for proof on where the child lives and who provides support.

For single parents receiving child sup-port, the date of the agreement determines whether or not it is taxable. There may still be a few people with agreements dated before May 1, 1997, and in those cases

child support is taxable. For anyone with an agreement after this date, child support payments are neither taxable nor deduct-ible. But you do need to report the amount on your tax return, even though you are not taxed on the amount.

Now that you are separated, your Child Tax Benefit entitlement should be higher since it is now based only on your indi-vidual income. However, if you are in a shared custody arrangement, you will only receive one-half of the benefit you would have received if you were the only parent.

The $500 Children’s Fitness Tax Credit can be claimed by either parent, but the amount cannot exceed $500 per child. The same rule applies to the $500 Children’s Arts amount. If you make the claim, you need to make sure you have your receipts in case the CRA reviews your return.

And if you become a couple, you are considered common-law for tax purposes

right away if you move in with the other parent of your child. If you move in with someone else, you need to live together one year before you are considered common-law. If you do get married or become com-mon-law, you need to report the change to the CRA using an RC65 Form. And going from single to paired will affect the amount of your Child Tax Benefit.

Being separated parents requires com-promises and discussions on many fronts, so discussing the situation with your former spouse makes filing easier. Finding out after you file that your former spouse has also claimed the child credits is not a good strategy.

Understanding childcare expenses


Dr. Nedley's Depression Recovery Program "The Way Out" began in Williams Lake in January.

This bi-annual course is a mental health education semi-nar taught to individ-uals, caretakers, and professionals.

The first two eve-nings have identified depression and its causes, and consid-ered simple, effective lifestyle treatments for

depression. Dr. Nedley states,

"Depression is revers-ible. It does not have to be tolerated as a lifelong condition with its miserable effects."

This comprehen-sive program offers the help needed to maxi-mize brain health and have renewed energy. Anxiety levels are also reduced, and EQ's increased.

No counseling or 'group therapy' is involved. Success rates

are high, and simple, practical techniques are taught to par-ticipants so they may privately 'fix' things

themselves.To wait-list for the

next seminar, please call 250-392-6598.

Club hosts Valentine's Ride

Depression program underway


The Powder Kings Snowmobile Club's second event of the year promises to be an excit-ing one that will test the skills of local riders.

Yank's Peak will be the setting for the first official Yank's Peak Challenge, which will see riders judged on their skills at three different sites for the beginner, intermediate and advanced rider.

“This is the first ever of its kind in B.C.,” said club member and event organizer Rick

Seibert.“It's not a com-

petition, it's a skilled event.”

Seibert said rid-ers are to meet at the Yank's Peak safety cabin at 9 a.m. to sign up, with the event getting underway at 10:30 a.m. at Tune Hill, noon at Avalanche and 1:30 p.m. at Behind the Cabin.

He said riders will be demonstrating their riding skills on steep terrain, with points given by the judges for maneuvers such as the over the top, uphill turn

out, downhill turn up, left side hill, right side hill and difficulty of terrain choice. Seibert said bonus points will be given for extra spe-cial maneuvers. Prizes will be given out at the cabin at 3 p.m.

“There will be prizes but basically it's for bragging rights.”

There is no entry fee for the event, though there is a trail fee, and everyone over the age of 16 is welcome to take part.

Seibert said excite-ment surrounding the event is building, and

Brock Hoyer, who is racing Saturday in the Arena Cross Championships, is driving back to town Saturday night just to take in the Challenge with his Yamaha YZ 450 with a snow horse track kit.

“It's going to be lots of fun.”

Keeping safety a pri-ority, Seibert is remind-ing riders to bring their avalanche beacons, as riders will not be allowed to climb with-out showing they have a working beacon.

The Point Restaurant’sValentine Features

There are many dif-ferent ways to convey feelings of affection. Some people pen poet-ry, others bestow gifts, while still others feel moved by music and lyrics. Songs have long been a popular way to convey emotions, and love songs have been performed by artists from nearly every musi-cal genre at some point in time.

Although music is subjective, some love songs have stood out as fan favorites. Commonly featured at weddings or as the backdrop on romantic evenings, the following songs are considered some of the more popu-lar love songs of all time.

* "Love Theme From 'A Star Is Born'" (Evergreen): This Barbara Streisand classic from the hit film helped

Streisand earn both an Academy Award for Best Song from a Motion Picture and Grammy Award for Song of the Year.

* "Up Where We Belong": Few people can forget the ending scene of "An Officer and a Gentleman" when Richard Gere sweeps Debra Winger off of her feet. The song "Up Where We Belong" by Jennifer Warnes and Joe Cocker from the movie will always be a roman-tic favorite.

* "All My Life": Former Jodeci members K-Ci and JoJo created an enduring romantic song with this pop hit.

* "Save the Best for Last": This song became Vanessa William's signa-ture song and a smash hit.

* "Be With You": Soul singer Mary J.

Blige emphasizes stick-ing with the one you love by being loyal.

* "I Do It for You": This Bryan Adams hit was nominated for an Oscar as the theme for the 1991 film "Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves."

* "I'll Make Love to You": This Boyz II Men song was one of the lon-gest-running No. 1 hits of all time.

* "Lovesong": The Cure's Robert Smith penned this song as a present to his wife, Mary, in 1988.

* "Sweet Love": Anita Baker's soulful hit helped turn her from a budding R&B singer into a household name.

* "Love Me Tender": His good looks and gyrating hips helped thousands of women fall in love with Elvis Presley. However, this signature love song endeared the famed crooner to many others.

* "My Heart Will Go On": Celine Dion's theme from "Titanic" became one of the most popular love songs of all time after the film's 1997 debut.

* "I'll Stand by You": This 1994 hit from The Pretenders can be interpreted as a song of

romantic devotion or a commitment to friends.

* "You Are So Beautiful": Joe Cocker makes the list again with this soulful 1975 hit.

* "Have I Told You Lately": Originally writ-ten and recorded by Van Morrison, this song gained new life and notoriety when record-ed by Rod Stewart.

* "My Girl": Beloved

R&B group The Temptations deliver a song about sunshine on a cloudy day in this clas-sic.

* "I Will Always Love You": Witten and performed by Dolly Parton, this song is per-haps most known for the version performed by Whitney Houston for the soundtrack of her 1992 film "The

Bodyguard."* "Time After Time":

A song of devotion, Cyndi Lauper earned her first No. 1 single with this hit.

* "Hey There, Delilah": A simple song of young love by the Plain White T's.

* "Unchained Melody": The Righteous Brothers delivered the best-known version of

this song, which helped create movie magic between Patrick Swayze and Demi Moore in the 1990 film "Ghost."

* "Just the Way You Are": Billy Joel's clas-sic in which he tells his beloved she is perfect as-is.

* "Your Song": A simple, eloquently writ-ten song of love from Elton John.

Great movies for Valentine’s DayCouples celebrate

Valentine's Day in a variety of ways. Some may jet off to a roman-tic locale while others might enjoy a night out on the town at a near-by restaurant. Some couples feel it's more romantic to stay in for Valentine's Day, prefer-ring some quality time together as they enjoy a good meal and a favor-ite film in the comforts of home. Those who want a romantic movie to set the mood might want to consider the following options.

* "Somewhere in Time" (1980): Starring Christopher Reeve, this drama surrounds a Chicago playwright who meets an old woman on the open-ing night of one of his plays. The woman presses a gold pocket watch into his hand before begging the young playwright to

return to her. Years later, the playwright is staying at a hotel and becomes taken with a young woman in a pho-tograph, only to learn that the young woman is the same mysterious older woman who vis-ited on opening night all those years ago.

* "West Side Story" (1961): One of Hollywood's many tales of forbidden love, this classic won Best Picture after being adapted for the big screen. The score alone is enough for film affi-cionados, but those who also want a story won't be disappointed by this musical tale of two youngsters who fall in love despite being from rival New York City gangs.

* "The Philadelphia Story" (1940): Featuring screen leg-ends Cary Grant, Katharine Hepburn

and James Stewart, the movie focuses on the complications that arise as a socialite prepares to marry. Cary Grant plays the ex-husband of Hepburn, who must deal with the simulta-neous arrival of both Grant and Stewart, a journalist who arrives to get the scoop on her pending nup-tials. Stewart earned an Oscar for his per-formance in the film, which is also credited for helping to revive Hepburn's career after a series of box office flops.

* "Casablanca" (1942): Perhaps no film is more synony-mous with romance than this classic star-ring Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman as former lovers who reconnect one night in a pressure-packed African encounter during World War

II. The two ex-lovers still harbor feelings for one another, though Bergman's Ilsa has moved on and mar-ried a resistance leader who needs the help of Bogart's Rick to escape Nazi forces hot on his trail. The film features many classic moments.

* "The Princess Bride" (1987): Couples who prefer a love story as told through a fairy tale might want to consider this Rob Reiner-directed film starring Cary Elwes as a farm boy who falls in love with Buttercup, the beautiful daugh-ter of his employer. An ensemble cast that memorably includes Billy Crystal, Mandy Patinkin and pro wres-tler Andre the Giant contributes to this hilarious classic that follows the farm boy's heroic efforts to be with the woman he loves.

Celebrate BC’s � rst Family Day Monday Feb 11

Eat together

■ There is no better province to explore than British Columbia and no better family bonding experience than sharing the thrill of a new discovery or experience. Day trips can create remarkable family memories. They offer a wonderful way to spend time together and learn more about where you live. The variety of experiences available to families is dif-ferent in each region of this spectacular province - you might decide to explore close to home or venture to one of the other regions in B.C. over the Family Day weekend. Whether taking SkyTrain, BC Ferries, driving, or hop-ping a fl ight, there are many ways to invest in a day of discovery. Travel is just one aspect. To maximize the experience families should involve everyone in the planning. By planning ahead you and your whole family can experience a worthwhile outing and make every aspect fun. Create a list of activities or venues and assign a rough budget for each. Allow family members to weigh in on their preferences and discuss what they would like to see, do or learn at each. You might decide to stay in a hotel and be a tourist in your own home-town. Kids or youth can map out the sites and activities, creating a family agenda including selecting the points of interest, lunch and shopping as well

as enjoying the amenities your hotel might offer. It’s the perfect way to free up everyone from everyday tasks and roles. Researching history, attractions, museums, parks and markets can teach valuable lessons and it helps chil-dren to plan within a budget. This way they are part of making important decisions, appreciate both the effort and cost of outings and will be more enthused about an agenda they helped develop. Be sure to capture your family time by taking photos, saving literature or purchasing a memento. This can lead to great family discussions about what each individual enjoyed or learned and starts you planning for future family

explorations.

Explore together■ Family Day is the ideal time to bring your family ‘back to the table’. Given the increasingly busy schedule of every member of the family, eating together has been a casualty of our hectic days. Whether you’re together in your home, on a mini-vacation or enjoying a local restaurant, there are numerous benefi ts to eating together. Sharing a table means sharing your day, sharing your undivid-ed attention and sharing conversation. It is a chance to give extra attention to your children and teens. Family meals foster warmth, security and love, as well as a sense of belonging. The way that you act at the table becomes a model for your children. They learn from your appreciation of the meal and your social skills - especially when outside the home. Table manners are social skills and leading by example makes it easier for parents to teach without lecturing. Using family meals as a way to sample new menus can be both fun and a great learning experience. By giving family members input and the opportunity to choose the menu, it becomes an ideal way to expand their horizons on a wider range of foods and cultures. It also can lead to healthier choices as well as developing an open mind for experiencing new things. A way to get more out of a family meal is to engage the family in menu selection, shopping and preparation. You can begin this at a very young age giving children age-appropriate tasks like stirring ingredients, washing vegetables, tearing lettuce and setting the table. As your children grow they can take on more key responsibilities and the pride that comes with preparing a special family meal. This teaches your children cooking skills, nutrition and appreciation for the effort of meal preparation. It can also provide a great source of accomplish-ment and sense of self-suffi ciency. Plan to make your Family Day special by including all those who make up your family. Pay tribute by making your meal special and so memo-

rable you’ll want to ensure you do it more often.

Share together■ Bringing together your extended family can create a highly memorable and valuable life event. They say “it takes a village to raise a child” and many would agree especially in today’s world of working parents and latch-key kids. The support, experience and interest of your extended family can have a signifi cant impact on your immediate family. Regardless of your defi nition of ‘extended’ family, bringing together those with whom you share history with can have lasting benefi ts not just for you and your children but for those you invite to share your day.It is common in today’s world to have older chil-dren in nuclear families reach their teens before meet-ing extended family members. Geographical isolation is common for middle-class families who move based on occupational opportunities while family branches retain their independence.Family Day is the ideal occasion to hold family reunions to re-establish and integrate a stronger family connection. This allows your children to connect with extended family members and to share a better sense of their heritage and belonging. Don’t forget to include senior members of your family. Family reunions and relation-ships inspire seniors to stay active and pursue their well-being. Studies have found seniors feel revitalized when they spend time with families. Your children will benefi t from hearing their oral history and that’s an inspiring experience that won’t always be available to them. Another way to celebrate Family Day is to gather your extended family and friends around something you care about. It might be a shore clean-up, a family walk or a garage sale. You might volunteer at a foodbank. Food is often central to gatherings and with everyone contributing to a family meal afterwards, it becomes a great way to share B.C.’s fi rst Family Day.

■ One of my favourite memories was creating an enormous piñata in prepa-ration for a multi-family holiday. We blew up a huge bouncy ball and covered it with papier mache. Our children and those of our friends were young so after my young sons painted the ball white, I drew a score of cartoon characters, shapes and funny animals all around it. Filled with age-ap-propriate, small toys, puzzles and treats, the big white ball became a major activity for every-one in our three-family group. Every age took turns colouring in the shapes through-out the day, knowing when it was completed the ball would be strung up. The anticipation and excite-ment was heightened because the reward came with activity and was not immediate. Creating something as a family can mark an important time in your family history. It captures the age and ability of your children, your interests and a point in time. By working together on a project your family can develop new skills, collabo-rate on something truly memorable and enjoy what each family member brings to the endeavor. Think about all the things a family

could create together – a family album complete with stories, mementos and funny or poignant memories. Your family might be old enough to handle something more ambitious like prepar-ing a garden, building a dog house or designing and painting a family recre-ation area in your home. Technology puts an amazing array of

tools in the hands of today’s families. You can plan, write, fi lm and edit a movie with your everyday computer and smartphone technol-ogy and software. Even more fun is sharing your family creation with friends around the world.You might even suggest a fi lm festival by inviting families to create their own fi lm and have a “popcorn premiere” to show them all.

Searching online will uncover an as-tounding number of crafts and projects you could tackle as a family. It can be as simple as building and fl ying a kite. Or you may look for something you can recycle or re-purpose into a creative new item – whether a work of art or function. It’s bound to make your fam-ily members proud environment stew-ards as well as treasuring your time and project as a family.

FAMILY DAY 2013

■ If you ask any adult about some of their favourite memories of childhood, you will invariably hear something related to food. Whether it’s baking with Grandma or grilling hamburgers for a cookout with Dad, cooking is always an important part of growing up.Family Day is a great time to dig out

those family cookbooks and try a recipe handed down by the older generation. Your mom’s famous meatloaf or your uncle’s recipe for spin-

ach dip are great things to try with family mem-

bers of all ages.Maybe you’re looking to make some-thing you’ve never made before, or perhaps you want to try out a new cuisine. Hitting the library or the web will give you ideas for new recipes, whether it’s trying to duplicate your favourite takeout pizza or make an authentic spicy Indian dish. Let each member of the family choose a recipe that they want to try, whether it’s for breakfast, lunch, dinner or a snack. That way everyone gets involved and has their say in what the family eats. Maybe you’ll find a new favourite food or discover that your child is aiming to become the next Mario Batali or Julia Child.Your local grocery store is sure to have a wide selection of ingredients that you may never have tasted be-fore. Wandering the aisles may even spark your imagination.Learning about what goes into a dish will set your family on the road to healthy eating. Taking a few minutes to read the labels on a food item will demonstrate how to make healthy choices and help your children in the future. Finding healthy alternatives to not-so-healthy foods can be a fun experiment, and may end up being tastier than the original food. Many stores will have sections devoted to healthier options, whether they’re gluten-free or just lower in calories.

■ Having a day off from school doesn’t mean learn-ing stops for the day. There are plenty of educational things you can do in Brit-ish Columbia, whether in your own home or outside.How about starting with a trip to your local library? It will hold plenty of books on any topic that you can imagine. Maybe a book of science experiments or a historical novel set in the early days of Canada will stoke your imagination. Let the kids each pick out a book to take home with them and start a lifetime love of reading. Your local bookstore will also hold a variety of options if your child can’t bear to part with his or her new favourite book.A local historical attraction is also a great place to pay a visit. Whether it’s China-town or Steveston fi shing village, there is a ton of history right in your own back-yard. Most places will have a museum or heritage building around that can serve as a jumping-off point for learning more about the city where you live.Learning can be more than just reading though. Pull out the laptop and get your kids to type out an email to a family member or friend outside of B.C. Perhaps they can even tell the person about what they learned at the museum or library!Keeping a journal is also a great way to practice writing and literacy skills. Even if it’s not a daily occurrence, sitting down in the evening to write about the events of the day or week can get kids thinking and practicing their handwriting.

Army and sea cadets came away from the cadet provincial biathlon championships last weekend with one medal and lots of memories.

“They were so excited to be there,” said cadet coach Cpt. Irene Berns, who accompanied the five army cadets and three sea cadets to sce-nic Mt. Washington on Vancouver Island Feb. 2 along with other cadets from Fort St. John and Prince George making up the Northern Region.

Cadet Olund Mork from 3064 Army Cadets took home a bronze medal in the individual junior male category.

Cadets Joshua Tucker, Matthew Nendick, Dana Rook, Emma Davidson, Julia Rook, Kaitlin Lebrun, and Abby-Lynn James also

finished strong but without medals.Berns said the cadets have been

training since November at the Rod and Gun Club facilities and also at the Bull Mountain Cross Country Ski Club.

“As soon as the snow flew in December it was game on,” Berns said of using the ski trails at Bull Mountain.

“We're lucky to have such great facilities.”

Berns would like thank the Williams Lake Sportsman's Association, Bull Mountain Cross Country Ski Club, RCMP Charity Golf Tournment, and the Navy League and Army Cadet League Sponsoring Committees for their continued support and sponsorship.

If you've finally had enough of being over-weight or just plain out-of-shape, the inspira-tion you may be need-ing is at Fit City right now.

Fit City is offer-ing its annual Body Tr a n s f o r m a t i o n Challenge, and the deadline for sign up is Feb. 28.

The challenge is a 12-week program which gives participants one hour with a trainer, two pounds of protein powder, a 30-day sup-ply of Rapidcuts Fat Burner, a t-shirt, and shaker cup and the motivation some may need to get the most out of the program – a grand prize of a $2,000 travel voucher for the grand prize winner.

But the true gift is that of better health and a happier, new you, says gym owner Teena Olson.

“I hear so many stories from so many people about how the challenge changed their lives,” says Olson. “It makes me so happy because to me they're not only members, they're family and friends.”

One of those friends is last year's grand prize winner Sean Morse, who literally trans-formed his own life – going from being con-sidered obese at 326 pounds to dropping down to 268 pounds, or losing about 60 pounds in 90 days.

“The first couple of weeks were really hard to get my cardio up. I could only walk up

about six stairs before I was out of breath,” Morse recalls of this time last year, when a good friend convinced him to sign up for the challenge.

“After the first two weeks the weight start-ed to fall off, and that drove me even harder. It was really encouraging.”

In the food depart-ment, Morse said he cut out all fast food, stayed away from bread as much as possible and increased his protein intake.

Morse also worked out just about every day during the challenge and the end result was going from a size 46 jean to a size 38, and dropping his shirt size from triple extra large to an extra large.

“It was absolutely amazing – it has really impacted my whole life.”

Morse said he went from being depressed and embarrassed about his weight, to having greatly improved his mental health, his con-fidence (he said last summer was the first time ever he would walk around without a t-shirt on) and his physical health – attributing his increased fitness to get-ting his fiancee Tamara

Duffin pregnant after many months of trying.

The couple wel-comed a new baby girl Nov. 19 they named Londyn and both are joining the Body Transformation this year along with some other friends.

Morse said he gained some weight back “sympathy eating”

with his pregnant fiance recently, but has set a new goal of reducing his weight further to 245 pounds.

With such a happy home life and new found success at work due to his winning atti-tude, Morse has already started back at the gym.

“It's always hard when you first start, but I know what I need to do and everyone at the gym is really sup-portive.”

Fit City is a 24-hour gym where members have access any time day or night, seven days a week. The facility offers a full selection of free weights, cable weights and cardio equipment including three tread-mills, three ellipticals and two stair climbers.

Olson said any-one can enter the Body Transformation Challenge, even if you're not a member of the gym, for $109.

For three-months access to the gym and the challenge, the cost is $199 (a $300 value).

Body Transformation Challenge changes one man's life

Angie Mindus photoA transformed man, Sean Morse is very happy with his new and improved life one year after winning Fit City's Body Transformation Challenge. Morse turned over a leaf as a result of the challenge and has entered the contest again this year, along with his fian-cee and seven other friends.

Fit City owner Teena Olson stands by her state of the art cardio equipment available at her gym. Fit City is offering its Body Transformation Challenge again this year, with sign up avail-able until Feb. 28.

The Williams Lake Field Naturalists Club and Young Naturalists Club are encouraging people to become citi-zen scientists later this month.

This is the 16th

year that Cornell University has been collecting data on backyard birds and Scout Island is host-ing a family event to teach the bird-loving public how to collect

local data and recog-nize the birds they see on a nature walk.

The Big Backyard Bird Count Feb. 16 will see Cathy Koot lead a birding walk and help partici-

pants to observe birds at the feeder along with Environmental Educator Julianne Trelenberg.

Data collected from Williams Lake on that day will be added to

Cornell University's international checklist.

This free outdoor event is open to all families, and will be an exciting way to help create a real-time snap-shot of where the birds

are around the world.Also, the hosts will

lead the group in mak-ing an origami craft to explore beak size and function.

This event is another collaboration

between the Williams Lake Field Naturalists and the BC Young Naturalists’ Club and will take place Saturday, Feb. 16 from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m.

Calling all birders to the Big Backyard Bird Count Feb 16th


Over the week-end the Williams Lake Detachment members responded to approxi-mately 50 calls for ser-vice.

On Feb. 2 at 7:27 p.m. hours William Lake RCMP responded to a call from a per-son that there were 3 men in black hoodies who had bear spray and were knocking on her and another per-son's door on 2nd Ave N. Police attended and saw evidence of bear spray being discharged on the snow outside of the residence. When Police were en route and patrolling afterwards there was no sign of

anyone one matching the description of the suspects. Suspects were not located.

On Feb. 2, 2013 at 2:37 p.m. hours Williams Lake RCMP responded to report teens on their bikes were jumping off the BC Oceans and Fisheries Building at 480 Cameron Street. Police attended and located two teens who were rid-ing their bikes in the parking lot and jumping off the side of the BC Oceans and Fisheries building. Both youths admitted to jumping off the side of the building and stated others had been doing it before

them. The youths were

warned of the conse-quences of such acts and how charges of mischief could be pursued against them as a result of dam-age to the building con-sisting of marks on the side of the building from the bike wheels. The youths were allowed to carry on without charge and no further police action was required.

On Feb. 2 at 10:06 p.m. police were called by Boston Pizza to report there had been a fight and the ambu-lance had been called for a male who was hurt due to being assaulted. Police attended and met with the victim in the back of the ambulance where it was determined that the victim was watching a UFC fight at Boston Pizza when he was assaulted.

The victim could not remember how he was assaulted consequently he was transported to hospital to verify if his memory loss was due to intoxication or concus-sion.

Police later deter-mined that the victim was being rude to one of the servers and some of the other patrons which

resulted in a heavy set male with a dark hoody and long black hair assaulting the victim. The person who struck the victim then left the premises and has not been identified.

On Feb. 3 at 3:26 a.m. police responded to a call that a red car had just hit a power trans-former on Midnight Dr, Williams Lake. The vehicle went through the intersection of Slater and hit the power trans-former that was located on Midnight Dr. The person reporting the incident was not able to obtain a plate of the vehicle but said that the vehicle headed north on Midnight and did not stop. Police made patrols in the area but were unable to locate the vehicle.

Police phoned BC Hydro who arrived on scene to fix the trans-former.

On Feb. 2 at approx-imately 5:25 p.m. police responded to a residence on First Ave. to a report that a Silverado Chevy pick up was damaged overnight by person(s) unknown. The owner of the vehicle reported that no entry was gain and nothing was taken.

Also, over the week-end two males were arrested for breach of their court imposed conditions. Charges are pending.

Junior B hockey action

Kyle Gysel accepts one of many trophies from Lee Jackman at the Williams Lake Sportsmen's Association's annual game ban-quet and awards Saturday night. Gysel won first place trophies for jr. trout, jr. trout fly fishing, jr. spring salmon, jr. mule deer and jr. black bear.


According to head swim coach Chad Webb, 20 Blue Fins swimmers posting best times in almost every race that they swam at last weekend’s Kamloops Swim Meet.

Swimmers were taking time off and improving significant-ly and Webb says he was impressed at their results.

“I knew they would take time off, but not to the extent that most of them did and some in particular.”

Although it is tough to name just a few, as everyone improved significantly, Landon Christenson, Claire Brown, Faith Frost, and Leif Brandson need to

be noted for the huge improvements in their times.

Leif Brandson was named swimmer of the meet by the Blue Fins coaches for his drop in times. “Leif ’s time improvements were not that surprising as he has been working very hard in his training,” Webb said.

First timers to a sanctioned swim meet were: Brooklyn Carrier, Faith Frost, Gracie Frost, Landon Christenson, Abby Webb, Claire Brown, and Maya Nowotny.

Top four perform-ers in their age groups were : Maya Nowotny, Brooklyn Carrier, Maia Vitoratos, Leif

Brandson, Gracie Frost, Abby Webb, Taylor Fitzgerald, Hunter Casselton, Liam McCreight, Keanna Saunders and Claire Brown.

Outright winners of an event were: Leif Brandson – 100 IM, 200 back, 100 back, Maia Vitoratos – 100 IM, Liam McCreight- 50 Breast Stroke, Taylor Fitzgerald- 100 back and Hunter Casselton – 200 Back.

The Williams Lake Stampeders advanced to the second round of the Central Interior Hockey League play-offs with a 4-2 vic-tory over the Lac La Hache Tomahawks on home ice Saturday. The Stamps’ took the best-of-three series two games to none after posting a 4-3 victory in Lac La Hache the previous Saturday.

Wade Balbirnie put the visitors ahead 1-0 at 12:47 from Drew Rose. Williams Lake’s Bill McGinnis answered on the pow-er-play at 18:28 from Nathan Zurak and Brent McIsaac to tie the game at 1-1 head-ing into the first inter-mission.

After a scoreless sec-ond period, Stu Sasges broke the deadlock 1:07 into the third period from Zurak and

McGinnis to make it 2-1. Jassi Sangha added an insurance marker at 14:21 of the third period assisted by Francis Johnson to put Wiliams Lake up by two at 3-1.

Tomahawk’s captain Robin Gilbert scored at 18:09 to make things interesting at 3-2. Unfortunately for Lac La Hache, McGinnis sealed the victory on an empty net goal with 20 seconds remaining to make the final 4-2.

Justin Foote earned the win for the Stamps making 25 saves on 27

shots. Willie Sellars suf-fered the loss for Lac La Hache despite making 39 saves on 42 shots.

The Stamps will take on the Quesnel Kangaroos in the sec-ond round as the ‘Roos swept the Omineca Ice (Vanderhoof ) in their best-of-three series winning 7-1 and 10-5. Game one will go Saturday at 7:30 p.m. in the Gold Pan City.

Game two will be Saturday, Februrary 16 at 7:30 p.m. in the lakecity.

None of the four first round CIHL play-

off series went the dis-tance as they were all two game sweeps. In the CIHL West play-offs it was Kitimat Ice Demons sweeping the Terrace River Kings in two straight win-ning 4-3 and 7-4. The Smither Steelheads advance to round two as the Steelies downed the Houston Luckies in two straight winning 4-3 and 5-3.

Kitimat and Smithers will begin their series this Saturday night at the Tamitik Arena in Kitimat.

Marinading food serves two purposes; one is to tenderize and the other is to impart and improve flavor. I have used marinades for both purposes, howev-er I must admit that I don’t use this prepara-tion method as much as I should because you can get some wonder-ful dishes with easy to make marinades.

A marinade is basi-cally a strong flavored liquid which may con-tain oil, lemon juice, vinegar, red or white wine, cider or other acid ingredients. The acid ingredient is used to get into and tender-ize the food, while the oil is used for its soften-

ing powers. Marinades are usually flavored with carrots and onions, gar-lic, bay leaves, herbs and spices and can be either cooked or uncooked. Often when I finish using a marinade I will put it in a pot over medium to low heat and reduce it by half or more and use this as a

sauce for the dish I am cooking.

Vegetables also may be marinated using basil, tarragon, marjo-ram or parsley. Wine and vinegar are usually used for meat, poul-try and seafood but wine is rarely used in vegetable marinades. Lemon juice is suitable for all marinades. The

larger pieces of meat should have the flesh well pierced with a fork to allow the marinade to reach through all of the meat and these bigger pieces should be marinated overnight and up to 24 hours. Smaller pieces do not generally need to be pricked with a fork and

of course will need to be marinated for as little as two hours. Meats that are being marinated for flavor only also require less time.

We understand that marinating can have a lot of potential for food however many people only use marinating for meats. Fruit prepared in a marinade can taste quite different with excellent add on flavors. Mango marinated in lemon juice, pineapple soaked in Kirsch, fresh strawberries in brandy produce some palate pleasing results.

Here is a simple white wine marinade that goes well with cut up chicken or fish.

White Wine Marinade8 Tbsp dry white wine5 Tbsp olive oil2 Tbsp fresh chopped

parsley1 small onion cut up3 Bay leavesFreshly ground pepper

and salt to taste.Mix all ingredients

together, leave in fridge overnight and then strain, pour over chicken. You can leave this on chicken or fish for a couple of hours or overnight in the fridge.

Try using a marinade the next time you cook.Bye for now and

Goood Cooking

Aries, there are a few things you need to work out this week, but then you will be set for quite a while. Take the opportunity to recharge your batteries.

Taurus, sometimes the things that are the hardest to come by are the ones that are most worth the effort. Think about this as you face obstacles.

Gemini, contrary to what you believe, things at work will go on even if you take a few days off for a vacation. There may be some catching up afterward, but you can handle it.

Cancer, your mind may be churning, but worrying excessively over something will not help the situation. Therefore, focus on something else for a while.

Leo, just when you think the week will go on without any excitement, something pops up and it’s just what you need to beat the doldrums. Expect time with friends.

Virgo, sometimes you need to be tough on yourself to get things done, but you will be satisfied with the results when you push yourself. Focus on goals this week.

Libra, a risk you take this week will pay off in a big way. You might be anxious to take a significant risk, but the eventual reward will be well worth it.

Scorpio, it may be challenging to find some initial support for a new idea because you are essentially charting new territory. Just give it time and people will come around.

Slow down a little, Sagittarius. Moving faster will not get the job done to your satisfaction and then you only will have to do it all over again. Think through your options.

Capricorn, shift your focus to your family for the next few days because you have to make some decisions that will affect them all. Listen to your gut feeling when making these decisions.

Aquarius, there are some things around the house that need your attention, but you may be having trouble finding the motivation to tackle them just now.

Pisces, when an opportunity comes your way, you may want to take a pass because something better is on the horizon.
