District 27 Monday, June 2, and has Superintendent Mark Thiessen asking parents once again to keep their children at home. Also, most programs will not be running in district schools Monday, such as all StrongStart programs, before and after-school daycares, or use by community user groups (on a rotating strike day, pickets are considered to be up from midnight to midnight). Full-day daycares which lease space in school facilities may be operating on this day. Parents should call providers to confirm.

Students in the Cariboo Chilcotin are going to get a long weekend courtesy of the ongoing dispute between teachers and the B.C. government. The B.C. Teachers’ Federation notified school districts Wednesday it will continue rotating strikes around the province next week, as negotiations to settle their longrunning dispute over pay and staffing levels continues. The strike is coming to School

Besides the rotating strikes, students are being impacted locally by the government lockout of teachers, which prevents teachers from talking with students during recess and lunch time. The lock out also has teachers working less time before and after school during the busiest time of the school year, with field trips at some elementary schools cancelled due to the dispute. On the bright side, graduation celebrations are going ahead as planned in the district. “Grad is happening,” said Ken

EXOTIC BIRDS FOUND CLOSE TO HOME Liz Twan photo

Looking at this wildly, brilliantcoloured bird you’d think that this image was snapped by the photographer in the jungle in some exotic locale, and who could fault you for that thought? But, it’s not the case. Believe it, or not, most Cariboo-ites could lay eyes on one of these beauties of Mother Nature in many areas, right in their own backyards. The bird pictured is a Western Tanager (6-7.5 inches in height), and although not as common as a robin, a starling, blackbirds or crows, they are around in good numbers. The bird-book tells you to look for them in open coniferous forests but this photo was snapped as the bird alighted in a willow bush alongside an open expanse of hayfield along a creek. Their song is loud and strong, the sound carries far. They nest here, laying 3-5 blue-ish/green speckled eggs in a flimsy looking shallow, saucer-shaped nest usually built in the fork of a coniferous tree (happy, patient hunting for that) fairly low down. Early on the Tanager feeds on insects, switching later to berries and other small fruits as they become available. Keep your eyes peeled (off your smart-phone) you may be rewarded with a sighting of this visual-delight.

Gas tax increases

Celebrate BC Seniors Week with Us

Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Williams Lake and other communities across Canada can expect to receive an increase in federal gas tax funding under a new agreement announcement, Mayor Kerry Cook said Tuesday. “There has been an increase and the federal government has agreed to the two per cent indexing as well.” With the announcement comes more flexibility with what recipients can do with the funding. It’s been opened up to recreation and other items which weren’t eligible in the past, Cook said. Williams Lake will receive $485,144 in 2014/15 and 2015/16, $509,443 in 2016/17 and 2017/18, and $533,747 in 2018/19. It’s significant funding that helps with the cost of building community frastructure, Cook said.

Resident contests ministry eviction notice Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Jozsef Mate doesn’t believe he should have to move from his home at Keithley Creek near Likely, B.C. A year ago the 65-year-old was served an eviction notice by the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations and told he was squatting on Crown land. The notice was followed by a seizure notice on July 2. “I’m not planning to leave, I have nowhere to go,” Mate said, adding he first discovered the empty mobile home in 1988 while prospect-

The home subject to an eviction notice. ing in the area and has lived there since. “I found the owner and bought the mobile home privately.” Around 1995, when he was close to finishing paying the mortgage, Mate said he had to go to court to prove his ownership.

Once it was proven, the court registered his mobile home and the location of the pad it sits on, he said. He has been paying taxes to the Cariboo Regional District ever since. “They are ignoring the fact I am paying taxes,” Mate said of the

ministry’s eviction. “I am very well aware that I have no private property, that I cannot sell or rent anything related to the land.” A ministry spokesperson confirmed natural resource officers were going to proceed with the eviction and site cleanup last fall, but that was put on hold until this spring, “giving Mr. Mate plenty of time to clean up and vacate the site.” Two other residents in the area were also issued trespass and seizure notices at the same time and vacated the site during summer 2013, the ministry said. Mate said he has

been harassed, threatened with jail and told his home would be destroyed and taken to the dump. According to Natural Resource Officers working on this file, Mate has not been “threatened” with jail, the ministry said. “However, the trespass notice that was served to Mr. Mate does include information about non-compliance and potential next steps regarding enforcement.” The excerpt reads: “A contravention of Section 60 of the Land Act is an offence and upon conviction, a person is liable to a fine of not

more than $20,000, or to imprisonment for a term of not longer than 60 days, or to both a fine and imprisonment.” “I panicked last year and told the telephone company to cut off my phone because I was not able to work,” he said. His hydro was also cut off a year ago to prove he was following the government’s orders, he added. “I have been completely broken and been living like a cave man ever since for what?” he said. “I am thinking of taking my case to the Supreme Court of

Canada. I am doing nothing wrong.” When asked what instigated the evictions in the first place, the ministry said the Cariboo Region Natural Resource office received an e-mail tip about the persons living on the land in 2011. “I didn’t occupy anything because the premise was here already and the judge okayed it and transferred it to my name,” Mate said. The ministry said even if Mate has been paying taxes to the CRD and or BC Assessment this does not create any right to the property by the taxpayer.

Chamber president reacts to call for mine impact and benefit proposal Monica Lamb-Yorski

Staff Writer

Recent comments made by Chief Joe Alphonse to media don’t sit well with Williams Lake and District Chamber of Commerce president Jason Ryll. This week Al-

phonse told media the Tsilhqot’in National Government is increasing pressure, insisting Gibraltar Mines sign an impact and benefit agreement with ?Esdilagh (Alexandria) Band and suggested another company should take over the mine that is willing

to work with First Nations. “His recommendation that Taseko employees find a new employer to run Gibraltar Mine demonstrates to me a lack of understanding of how businesses work,” Ryll said. “Employees don’t

have that prerogative to say they don’t want a company as the owner and are going to find another one.” Ryll also took exception to Alphonse saying the Tsilhqot’in National Government want to work with any other company besides Taseko Mines Ltd. to

mine their resources. Ryll said it is a clear admission that the TNG’s recent objections to the New Prosperity Mine had nothing to do with environmental concerns, spiritual sensitivities or cultural values. “Now they want to work with a mining

AN APPLE A DAY... In Australia, in February each year they have a “FebFast”. It’s a charity movement which challenges you to take a 28-day break from alcohol and raise funds for youth addiction. It’s a great idea to give up one thing in your life for a good cause. You don’t have to wait till February to try it and the person to benefit from this fast would be you and your health and the charity of your choice. If you are over 65, getting a pneumonia shot is a good idea. This is especially important if you have a chronic illness. Those under 65 who have compromised immune systems or a chronic disease should also receive a pneumonia shot. Those who experience muscle pain from taking cholesterollowering “statin” drugs may have an alternate therapy in the future. Researchers are looking at creating antibodies that will circulate through the blood and lower the bad LDL cholesterol. Still in the trial phase but showing much promise. The summer holiday season is fast approaching and it’s a good time to review the contents of your first-aid kit to keep in your car during your travels. The kit should contain things like a digital thermometer, assorted bandages and tape, medication to reduce pain and fever, some hydrocortisone cream for stings and bites, some skin antiseptic and antihistamines. Our pharmacy staff can help you put together a first-aid kit and give advice on the age-appropriate medications to treat various symptoms.

company that wants to cut a deal? That really just means they are after money and that’s incredibly disappointing.” Alphonse said the TNG wouldn’t be afraid to go the extreme of interrupting work at the mine if it has to get the com-

pany’s attention, however, Ryll said such statements are incredibly inflammatory and cannot be tolerated. Alphonse told the Tribune the TNG are merely trying to put pressure on and are in a very early stage of being involved in supporting ?Esdilagh.

Junior council makes positive impact Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Williams Lake’s junior council has finished off a successful year. Clad in matching red hoodies, council members shared the year’s events with city council Tuesday. From participating in the International Women’s Day panel to hosting a Pay it Forward Day campaign sharing 20 donations from community businesses, the youths were visible in many ways. “As we gave out gifts on Pay it Foward Day

we got great responses,” Gagan Vaid said. “It was a great experience for all of us.” One of the highlights that put them on the map was the North Central Local Government Association’s adoption of a resolution junior council put forward encouraging the establishment of a youth caucus that would provide an opportunity for youth to participate in sessions to engage in civic affairs and that more communities be encouraged to establish youth councils. “We found out the resolution will go to

And they are all young people carrying academic course loads, working and doing other volunteer work, she said. “I’ve been very impressed with their contributions and commitment.” Mayor Kerry Cook said she’s had several calls from other communities asking about the junior council. Coun. Surinderpal Rathor encouraged the members, saying he hopes they’ll be inspired to participate in politics in the future.

The rain stopped just long enough for the community of Likely to enjoy the annual Likely May Day Parade, May 17. Sponsored by the Likely Archery Rod and Gun Club, the parade provided fun and entertainment for the crowd that gathered along Likely’s main street. The parade consisted of some unique floats and personages from the community and a number of classic and vintage cars, a vintage tractor and hotrods from the surrounding area. Likely’s famous resident clown was also on hand to entertain and distribute candy to those lining the parade route. Likely’s parade is unique in that you get to see it twice as it proceeds down the main street, makes a u-turn and returns. If you haven’t been to Likely for parade day be sure to put it on your calendar for next year. It’s always entertaining and lots of fun. Coralee Oakes,

Anti-spam laws a waste of time We doubt there is anyone who hasn’t been annoyed by spam. We’re not talking about that delicious canned spiced ham, but the endless stream of e-mails advertising everything from Viagra to Rolux (sic) or the $30 million a nice man in Nigeria wants to send you. We’re being a bit silly here, but what is really ludicrous is the federal government’s new anti-spam legislation, which takes effect on July 1. It is hard to imagine a more trivial non-problem for the government to concern itself with, let alone how the rules, which require businesses get written or oral consent before they send e-mails or other digital messages to consumers will put an end to spam. The new regulations address a problem that, by and large, has already been dealt with through technological means; spam filters at the level of both your home computer and your Internet Service Provider are sophisticated,

effective and constantly being updated. This legislation also doesn’t do much to stop the particular flavour of spam e-mail that is a problem: fraudulent or phishing e-mails trying to scam you into revealing your personal information. They’re unlikely to ask your permission either. On the end user side of the question, there will be some that want to file grievances regardless of how effective their spam filter has been, and the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission is already saying they won’t be able to handle the expected flood of complaints. So what have the feds accomplished with their new anti-spam legislation? An increase in bureaucracy, to be sure, but not much else. We would prefer they concentrate on legislation that actually means something.

The most secure view is from the playpen Of course I wouldn’t lie to you in the paper! The Tribune is pretty public, and some fine denizen might tell on me. So perhaps I’ll stick to the straight and narrow ... for now. While researching an angle for today’s commentary, there were more quotes and anecdotes about lying than any other subject I have tackled. And I wondered, “Why?” Do liars talk more than anyone in order to cover a dishonest trail? Do our fears of falsehood provoke a search for blame, or even a cure? Is every lie the same, or are there degrees of falsehood — from little ‘white’ ones to purely pathological. Perhaps the reasons we lie come mostly from our level of maturity.

Living out Loud

with Rita Corbett

A toddler is pretty honest, actually. He may bite you viciously, but won’t pretend he didn’t! A five-year-old will falsify information that his imagination wishes were true, “It’s mine — he gave it to me.” A school-age child may fib to squirm out of punishment. “No, mom,” he says, as he tries to escape the consequences of

chocolate on his face. Teenage prevarication can be a smokescreen for bad behaviour. And young adults may brace their status with wild arrays of bragging. Then finally, in a category of their own, we find adults. Adults, though they know better, may falsify a response to keep sex or money (or something less enticing) just the way they like it. Sounds like the ability of a five-year-old, doesn’t it! Dictionary.com claims a lie is “a false statement made with deliberate intent to deceive.” Of course, there are two kinds of lies — the out-loud kind, and the kind where I could have said something! Have I ever let a lie float into reality by saying nothing? Lies are like earthquakes. The

ground shifts, and it takes a good while before the damage is known. Or until I again feel safe along the fault line. There are unpredictable aftershocks as the solid crust that protects everyone has been broken. Could I ever feel safe at the edge of a sinkhole? It may depend on the magnitude of the lie, but the next time the relationship rumbles, trust becomes a question with a tremor in it. When a lie is told, everything is up for grabs. Lies are the only thing we cannot deal with. The only thing that is sure is that everything is unsure. Communication becomes shaky when its foundation is false. Even when someone answers a lie with truth, communication narrows. And the closer the liar

is to your heart, the more harmful the lies. I have never told a lie. Says who? Strange how the seriousness of a lie depends on who’s doing the telling. If you tell it, that’s dreadful! If I tell one, perhaps there is a reason, I say to myself. But there’s a lie buried in these few paragraphs. Or maybe two. Even that could be a lie. If I were truthful, would you even know? A bit unsettling, isn’t it? Of course I want you to trust me for the next column in two weeks. But doubt will remain for a while yet, making a toddlers mind look pretty good. See you in the playpen.

Published by Black Press 188 N. 1st Avenue Williams Lake BC, V2G 1Y8

Use of biochar could reduce the green house gas emissions in B.C by 22 per cent A report published by the “Pacific Institute for Climate Solutions” entitled “Industry and Market Development of Biochar in B.C.” showed that substituting coal and natural gas with biochar could help the province reach its 33 per cent emission reduction goal by 2020. This report published in February of 2014 is one of the few recent articles that looks into the economic limitations of producing bioenergy products that can compete with conventional fuels. For example, the lowest-cost feedstocks (about $20 per tonne) are mill residues which account for about 20 per cent of harvested round wood. Most of this product is now being used by existing facilities close to the mills. The cogeneration plant and pellet plant are two good examples in Williams Lake. The more expensive biomass products are primarily forestry residues from logging operations, commonly called slash piles. They are mainly burned on site at a cost to both the industry and air quality. Therefore, using cull piles to produce biochar offers an environmental positive and possibly economic returns in some locations. Table four in the report shows an estimate of 8.7 million tonnes per year based on 16 per cent of round wood production at a cost estimate of $30 to $55 oven dry tones based on grinding and transportation. As discussed in previous articles, 16 per cent may be a conservative estimate for the province because other studies show that for the interior dead pine stands the estimate is closer to 35 per cent with ranges between 15 as a low and over 55 per cent on some blocks. The authors used an average

Forest Ink Jim Hilton of 10 million tonnes per year and estimated the production of five million tonnes per year of biochar, condensable oils and tars. These products would more than replace the coal used (270 per cent) in the production of industrial steam and the manufacture of cement. This switch would cut the CO2 emissions in half in this specific example. There are presently 12 B.C.based companies producing or planning to manufacture biochar or related products such as biocoal. The paper describes a number of char products produced from biological resources. Other products are charcoal, biocoal, and charcoal. Some of the more exotic products include synthetic graphite which includes carbon electrodes selling at $1,500 to $5,000 per tonne. Table two shows how the per cent production of three products (biochar, syngas and pyrolysis oil) is controlled by the temperature of the heating process and the time that the biomass is exposed to the heating. It is therefore critical to identify the potential markets and then design a plant which will produce the greatest amount off products to meet the demand. Figure three shows the potential revenue and greenhouse gas emission reduction for a variety of biomass uses. Electrical generation has medium revenue but low

emission reduction because most of our existing electrical power is hydroelectric. Liquid fuels and biorefinery products have higher value than pellets, co-generation and heat value and all of the above are in the medium range of emission reduction. Biochar production has the widest range in both potential revenue and emission reduction of any other products. Before any meaningful planning can take place a more accurate description of the raw materials is needed. For example, cull piles are deliberately created to achieve easy and

efficient burning of the logging residual material. The mixture of cull logs, tops and branches is piled so that rapid ignition and complete combustion will take place. The existing cull piles are not useful for other potential uses (local fire wood, posts and rails etc.)or bioenergy uses. We should therefore look into the pros and cons of sorting and storing the various products in the field for future potential use. For example prospective enterprises may be interested in the chipping of tops and branches while others would be more inter-

ested in the log component. I am told that when chip prices were higher the cull logs were separated on the landings so they could be easily chipped and loaded on chip trucks. In future articles we will look at some government options that could encourage the establishment of business in some specific areas.

Now retired, Hilton still volunteers his skills with local community forests organizations.

Lake City Secondary Grade 11 student Harry Tudor took the Bike to Work/School Week Challenge riding from his home in Big Lake Thursday. It was a 50-plus-kilometre ride that took him just over two hours.

Congratulations to the Williams Lake Chamber of Commerce Congratulations to the Williams Lake and District Chamber of Commerce, which has been honoured as the 2014 B.C. Chamber of the Year! The Chamber and its volunteers do an amazing job representing and promoting businesses, and advocating for Williams Lake. Way to go! Some great news for Williams Lake and other B.C. municipalities was announced last week, as the federal and provincial governments and the Union of British Columbia Municipalities signed an agreement that will renew federal gas tax funding for the next 10 years. Williams Lake will receive rough-

From the Mayor’s Chair Kerry Cook ly $500,000 in each of the first five years, to be used on infrastructure projects chosen based on local priorities. Partnerships like this help cities to build infrastructure without having to go to the local taxpayer for the full amount of the funding needed. The Williams Lake Community

Forest held a community dinner and meeting in Big Lake recently. It was a positive meeting with a good turnout, and we received feedback on the standing committee of community members that will make recommendations to the board of directors. A reminder to come check out the city’s new website at williamslake.ca. There’s plenty of new features, including the ability to customize your website experience, participate in Community Voice discussions on ideas for the city, and access financial services. Residents who register on the site before June 9 will be entered into

a draw for prizes, including a sixmonth pass to the Cariboo Memorial Complex. A warm welcome to Elks from across B.C., here for the 2014 British Columbia Elks and Royal Purple Association 86th Annual Provincial Conference this weekend. I trust you will enjoy the conference and all that Williams Lake has to offer while you are here. See you at the opening ceremony! I’m also looking forward to attending the Relay for Life this Saturday. It will be the 10th anniversary of the event in Williams Lake. I don’t know anyone who has not lost a friend or loved one to cancer.

When my dad died of lung cancer it changed my life forever. The relay supports all of the important work the Canadian Cancer Society does. It’s important to note that 75 per cent of the funds raised at the relay stay in Williams Lake to provide information, education and support to residents. Thanks to organizing committee chair Michelle McKinnon and all of the volunteers who make the relay happen. And thank you to all those who participate and who donate! It makes a difference! Kerry Cook is the Mayor of Williams Lake.

Relay for Life Saturday in Boitanio Park The Canadian Cancer Society Relay for Life will be taking place at Boitanio Park this weekend. An emotional event founded on the concept representing an individual’s battle with cancer, the relay will kick off at Boitanio Park at 1 p.m. Saturday, with opening remarks by Mayor Kerry Cook. In addition to the Celebrate, Remember and Fight Back ceremonies, the 12hour relay will be full of entertainment and activities. The relay will begin by celebrating survivors, with the Williams Lake Pipe Band leading the survivors’ victory lap at 1:15 p.m., and then the track will be open to the teams and individuals. By walking through the night and finishing in the early morning, relay participants follow the cancer patient through the darkest hours of their treatment and then the breakthrough at the end whether it be survival or being released from the struggle. “Most relays have been modified from the original struc-

ture, but we still focus on the following three areas: Celebrating survivors, Remembering those who are currently undergoing treatment or those we’ve lost, and finding ways to Fight Back so that eventually cancer won’t affect so many lives,” says event organizer Michelle McKinnon. Survivors receive a yellow T-shirt and participate for free. There will be a special survivor reception at noon, complete with refreshments and snacks donated by local businesses. During the reception, survivors can register to participate in the survivors’ victory lap. The theme this year is summertime — neon! There will be two walking track options at the park this year, depending on each walker’s personal preference and ability. This year individual participants are also being encouraged to walk around the track alongside the teams. “We are encouraging those who didn’t have a chance to join a relay team to come on down to Boitanio

Park and make a $20 donation to register individually to walk around the track, for as little or as along as they like, any time of the day.” This year the Fight Back Ceremony will take place in the late afternoon. “During the ceremony, we’ll encourage everyone in attendance to write down their one action or change that they will make in order to fight back against cancer,” McKinnon says. “We’ll then encourage everyone to take a “selfie” with their one action or change and ask them to share their selfie with their friends via social media. “We have lots of great activities and entertainers lined up throughout the 12 hours, offering a range of musical styles from our local community favourites.” Activities throughout the day include a Zumba class by Concrete Fitness, temporary tattoos by Dean Allan, and henna hand designs. There will also be a wide variety of kids’ activities until 4:30 p.m., with the Williams Lake

Stampede princesses assisting with face painting. Local entertainers playing throughout the day include Oren Barter, DJS1X, Rachel Walker, Angel Keys, the Williams Lake Community Band, Shaun Hunjen, Just For Fun Choir, Lucier Family, and Beautifully Haunting. Food will be available at the team tents and in the covered picnic area and will include the Dreamboat Café, sandwiches, baked goods, chai tea and pakoras. The Luminary Ceremony will start shortly after 11 p.m., with the luminaries being lit around the track. Participants will have an opportunity to share the names of family and friends they wish to remember and light a candle in their honour. The night will

Two plays to go in zone festival Gaeil Farrar Staff Writer The Central Interior Zone Drama Festival continues in the lakecity tonight and tomorrow afternoon with the staging of visiting plays. “We are so excited to be hosting the Central Interior Zone Festival this year and extend a huge welcome to our theatre family, Pocket Theatre from Prince George and The Kersley Players,” says Studio Theatre president Mary-Jo Hilyer. “Together, we are presenting four diverse plays covering all facets of theatre from drama, to romance, to comedy.” The Central Interior Zone Drama Festival happening at the Studio Theatre is and intense learning experience for both actors and back stage crews. The productions are not only judged on their acting performances but on what is happening behind the scenes. And there are time limits. For instance, the teams have four hours

to put up their sets and prepare for their production and just one hour after the play ends to take the set down and clean the stage for the next production, says the festival stage manager Micheal Hodgson. “Being the stage manager is a lot of fun because I get to work with four different types of plays and help each of the groups to put on their best show possible in what may be a foreign theatre to them.” He helps the crews get oriented to the space and provides information on special equipment such as lighting and sound machines. He also acts as the referee to make sure everyone follows the festival rules. Hodgson’s day during festival starts around 8:30 a.m. and won’t end until the last lights go out which may be well past midnight. More than 30 actors and crew members are participating in the festival and

many more people from around the region are expected to be in the community this week to watch the plays on stage says Michael Rawluk, a Studio Theatre member and zone festival committee organizer. “It is exciting,” Rawluk says of the build- up to the festival, which has included lots of cleaning and organizing and setting up special displays in the recently renovated lobby. He says the adjudicator Joan MacLean will give a public adjudication after each play for the actors and audience in attendance. The public is also invited to sit in on the more in-depth coffee critiques which are held the morning after each evening play (9 a.m. until noon) and directly after the last play in the festival which is a Saturday matinee. The festival started Wednesday evening with the Studio Theatre production of Sense and Sensibility, continued Thursday

The awards barbecue takes place at the theatre Saturday evening followed by the workshop with the adjudicator for the winning play Sunday morning from 9 a.m. to noon. The winning play goes on to compete

at the Mainstage provincial festival in Kamloops July 4 to 12. A great deal of volunteer work and support from the local business community has gone into producing the festival for which the Studio Theatre is thankful. “Festival would not be possible without the support of our sponsors and the many volunteer hours put in by the festival committee and theatre members from all three communities,” Hilyer says. “Thanks also to Joan MacLean for adjudicating this years festival.”

Lakecity Elks and Royal Purple host provincial conference this weekend

straight from the garden patch, dirt and all. Start small kids off with small projects like growing edibles in hanging baskets or patio tubs. There are so many varieties of vegetables and small fruits that are ideal for container gardening ‘Eversweet’ strawberry is an ever-bearing strawberry that produces flavorful berries all summer long. They are easy to grow and the kids will pick the plants clean once they get a taste. Plant them in a sunny location as all strawberries prefer full sun. This variety was developed to withstand very high temperatures. Other plants that do well in hanging baskets are the cascading tomatoes ‘Tumbler’ and ‘Fanfare’ cucumbers If you have a larger container, plant strawberries around the perimeter so they will cascade over the side. That leaves the center open for other tasty plants. Kids might stick up their noses at tomatoes at the dinner table but once they have picked them off the vine I think they will change their minds. Little Sun Yellow is a new variety that is perfect for patio pots. This vigorous little plant sets up fruit close to the central stem so no need

for stakes or cages. The cherry fruit is a charming golden yellow colour with sugary sweet flavour. Beans can also be grown in a container, and it’s always more fun if they think they are magic beans. What could be more fun than worm composting? This is a great way to teach kids all about recycling kitchen scraps and turning them into garden gold. Red wiggler worms are the best at making short work of those scraps. A compost container doesn’t have to be large and it won’t smell, unlike those hamster cages! You can purchase red wigglers online or

ants are black and red, there are a few species of ants that are light brown and even yellowish in color. Pharaoh ants and thief ants are light-colored ants that are often mistaken for each other. Thief ants build colonies in large numbers close to other ant colonies and then use tunneling

to “steal” food. Pharaoh ants are also very small and tend to make well-hidden nests, which allow them to infest a property or home quite quickly. Because both of these types of ants can become pests, you may need to hire a professional exterminator if the ants become a nuisance.

a reputation for drought resistance. Butterfly bush is very hardy and requires little water. Although it is considered an invasive plant in some areas, gardeners who keep on top of seedlings and off-shoots can keep the plant in control. This shrub will create an enormous amount of flowers that will appear in the spring and will continue to bloom throughout the summer. The butterfly bush also attracts scores of butterflies to a landscape. Pink evening primrose is full of delicate, pink flowers that spread on runners. It

prefers dry soils, and even though it can thrive when soil quality is poor, it cannot tolerate soil that is too wet. It can grow in USDA zones five to nine. A variety of sage plants, including white sage, black sage and Cleveland sage, are drought-tolerant and do well in climates like Southern California’s. These plants produce blooms that attract insects and birds alike. Gardeners who would like relatively low-maintenance, drought-tolerant plants can opt for succulents.

has become a popular trend among eco-conscious gardeners and even is a cost-saving measure for homeowners. Establishing a garden of drought-tolerant plants requires knowledge of hardiness zones and which plants will thrive in certain areas. Native plants, in general, will be more tolerant to fluctuations in weather than plants that are imported.Contact a garden center and speak with someone knowledgeable about plants that will do well in low-water conditions. In addition, choose plants that have

It’s good to concentrate the most amount of watering for succulents during the spring growing season. Keep soil well-drained to avoid damage to shallow roots. Heed landscape conditions when selecting plants for the garden. Drought-tolerant plants are a good idea in those regions where weather is naturally arid or if homeowners prefer plants that can grow regardless of seasonal water restrictions.

Coping with drought is a way of life for many people across North America. The National Climatic Data Center, a part of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, works cooperatively with Canada and Mexico to monitor climate and drought conditions across the continent. According to the NOAA, the globally-averaged temperature for 2013 tied as the fourth warmest year since 1880, when record-keeping began. 2013 also marked the 37th consecutive year with a global temperature above the 20th century average. Warm temperatures, when paired with below-average precipitation, can quickly escalate and cause drought, making things difficult for those who make their livelihood by working the land or even just weekend gardeners. Low-water garden plants are a smart choice for those who live in areas that often deal with drought. These resilient plants can keep gardens looking lush and beautiful regardless of water restrictions. In fact, low-water gardening

Mercy me, Rob Ford “Oops, I did it again…” While this pop ditty was made famous by Brittney Spears, it could easily serve as infamous Toronto mayor, Rob Ford’s theme song. This past year there’s been a snickering snort in our noses and a condescending smirk on our faces as we watched Ford commit political suicide. But every time I’ve joined the chorus of ridicule, I’m confronted, by an awkward tension within myself. Like many others, I quickly deride Ford for not doing “the right thing” but the reality is that most of the time, in the ease and privacy of my own life, I often struggle to do the right thing. I’d like to voice some righteous outrage but mostly what comes is a sad lament. For the demons of addiction, for all the ways that power corrupts, for the public humiliation of Rob Ford, his wife and kids. I feel sadness for the Mayor’s stubborn foolishness to cling to power instead of seek healing. But most of all, I mourn for the easy judgmentalism and smug self-righteousness in me... for all the times I hide and evade responsibility, and for all the ways I silently perpetuate the very things I criticize. In the midst of this circus that is Rob Ford, I was confronted with the one of the Beatitudes of

PARSONS PEN BY REVEREND BUBBA Jesus. “Blessed are the merciful, for they will receive mercy.” In the face of Jesus words, I can feel a resistance rising within me. “What about justice? Where is the accountability? Isn’t mercy a free pass when something has to change?” I’m struck by how deeply we trust condemnation as the most effective means for seeking and motivating change. The desire for justice, honesty, and transparency are good. Yet, when these are threatened we resort to rejection and condemnation because we want no one mistaking that what is happening is wrong. We believe that condemnation as a tool for change. Really, has anyone been

condemned into a better way of living? Jesus was often criticized for the company he kept. The people that Jesus hung out with were mostly the Rob Fords of his day: the loathed tax-collectors, the socially despised, the immoral, and the outcast. He was merciful to people who didn’t deserve it. Mercy is not what Rob Ford deserves. He has earned all the jibes and jeering sent his way for the absolute fool he’s made of himself. But in Jesus upside-down moral economy, we don’t get what we deserve. He tells us we are blessed by God when we are merciful; when we come alongside the despised, the outcast, the wretched, the foolish and extend to them undeserved grace. Jesus is exposing that we need to give mercy as much as we need to receive it. But that’s so tough isn’t it? Have you noticed how being merciful doesn’t feel very moral? Come on, admit it – it feels really good to find some high ground, point fingers and get all righteously worked up. But mercy – well? One important question I’m taking away is this, “Why am I so quick to judge and withhold mercy when I am often so desperately in need?”

Basil cream sauce nice on fresh fish Nice to get out fishing again in water that is not frozen. I didn’t catch anything in my first few trips but usually ‘my lake’ does not start to get decent fishing around the first of June into the second week of July. Of course there are other fish than Rainbow in the lake, however, they seem to be the best sporting fish for me. Catching a two-pound rainbow on a light weight fly rod is a real treat. To see the fish leap out of the water, and to feel it turning, twisting, fighting to free itself from a small barb-less hook in its mouth, is pretty exciting for this little cook. When I catch a niceeating sized Rainbow in the spring I don’t mess around with any fancy

kind of dish because I want fresh fish now ... so simply fillet the fish, cook it in a hot cast iron cooking pan with butter, lemon zest and lemon juice, and of course some fresh dill. A six to eightounce piece of rainbow should take about six minutes to eight minutes to cook, three or four minutes on each side. You can also use this recipe to cook the fish in tin foil over a small campfire and bring the sauce with you.

Pretty tasty treats in the outdoors. There are of course so many ways to cook trout and everyone has their favourites. I like to try different ways to cook the fish or to make up a nice sauce to add directly on the fish, or on the side in a serving dish. Here is a nice dish for Rainbow trout. You could of course also use it on salmon. Most trout and salmon recipes can be switched depending which fish is going in the frying pan, the barbecue or the campfire. Rainbow Trout with Basil Cream • 4 Rainbow filets about 6 to 8 ounces each • 3 Tbsp fresh lemon juice • 2 Tbsp olive oil

• Salt and fresh ground pepper to taste Sauce • 2 dozen fresh basil leaves • 1/2 cup dry white wine • 4 cloves of garlic • 1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice • 1 cup heavy cream • 2 Tbsp butter Season sea salt and freshly ground pepper to taste. Brush both sides of the fillets with butter and season with salt and pepper. For the sauce, take the basil, wine and garlic, put into a blender then process to a smooth puree. Put the sauce in a sauce pan and stir in the cream. Bring to a medium heat and cook until the sauce is reduced by one half. Whisk in the lemon

Life saved by fire education A Barlow Creek man is crediting his community’s volunteer fire department’s fire education program for saving his granddaughter’s life. A couple of weeks ago, the man came to the Cariboo Regional District’s (CRD) Barlow Creek Volunteer Fire Department (VFD) regular practice night and told volunteers his story. He thanked the department for the training provided to his granddaughter at Barlow Creek Elementary School, and said it had saved her life. His granddaughter was at home, when she noticed black smoke above her head. She crawled to where her dad was, told him, and then got out of the house while her father was able to extinguish the fire. The child told her family she knew how to react because the fire department had come to her school and taught her what to do in the event of a fire. “Fire Chief Tom Maxwell, and the entire department should be very proud of their a c c o m p l i s h m e n t s, knowing their efforts have truly made a difference in our community and in particular, to this family,” said

CRD Electoral Area C Director John Massier. Maxwell’s department teaches the kin-

dergarten class Stop, Drop and Roll and the grade three class the Fire Safety House

Program each year. Community fire departments need volunteers.

Originally launched in the 2009 model year, the Grizzly 550 quickly made its mark as the dominant mid-size ATV in its class, and that’s right where it has stayed. The 550’s glittering reputation is built on nimble handling, rock-solid reliability, an incredible power to weight ratio and one of the highest re-sale values around.

2014 Yamaha Kodiak 450 You would think that launching the Grizzly 550 would have upstaged Canada’s own, Kodiak 450. Not so. In fact, the Kodiak 450 is still one of Canada’s most sought after ATV’s. With the addition of power-steering in 2011, this model continues to be the ATV of choice for riders who want bulletproof reliability and go anywhere capability wrapped in an affordable package.

2014 Yamaha Grizzly 700 FI

Year in and year out, the Grizzly legend grows. Now a host of changes see the Grizzly with more power, improved ride comfort and 30% better gas mileage. If you’re looking for a big-bore ATV that’s lean, mean and real world tough, there’s none better than the tried and true Grizzly 700.

2014 Yamaha Viking

There’s not much that can stop a Viking. Ours is no different. An all-new chassis, comfortable 3-person seating, and an engine with more power, more top speed and the reliability you expect from Yamaha.

June Already! Sure hope we get some sunshine soon! Things are starting to bloom, but honestly mostly dandelions in this weather! May was a fun month here in Horsefly, the 10 km Fun Run was a great success with over 80 participants. The new Farmers Market is starting to get better every time. Horsefly Service had a good turn out for there Mothers Day Build Your Own Basket. Another great thing in Horsefly is the NEW BUSINESS! Nadine Duitschaever has opened a new mobile food cart! I stopped in for a coffee and a chat the other day with her. Nadine was born and raised in Guelph Ontario, she worked in the insurance industry. She met her husband Chris in Guelph as well. They got married in 1992 and had two girls, Candace and Claudia. They relocated to Calgary in 1999. Nadine continued to work in the insurance industry, and started doing some catering. Nadine and Chris always have enjoyed the outdoors and the lake, I see them down on the dock many times a day! They came to Horsefly on a weekend camping trip in 2007. They stayed at the provincial park, and had their canoe out on the lake checking us out. Like the rest of us here in Horsefly, they fell in love! They found a property down on Horsefly Landing Road on Johnson Place and built themselves a new home. When they first moved out to Horsefly Nadine was still working in insurance. She soon found out that she really wanted to work closer to home and spend more time

Owner, Nadine Duitschaever and her two daughters Claudia and Candace at The New Soul Food Business in Horsefly! with her girls as they were growing up quickly! She started working part-time at the Cornerhouse Café and was going to the Farmers Market in Williams Lake and doing catering as well. Nadine also cooked for some of the mining companies in Horsefly. Over the last 5 years or so Nadine with the help of her husband and her girls have participated in catering at many festivals and events. Her passion for this industry has just kept growing & growing. She looked at many options on how she could start her own mobile food catering business and decided to buy a cargo trailer. She had a friend convert it into a mobile kitchen. What a kitchen it is! All stainless steel and laid out to a chefs perfection! Her dream come true! Hours of business at this time are 10:30am till 6:30pm Friday thru Tuesday. They are closed when special events are on at the Hall. Other than that you have to stop by and check out the menu (Yummy!) Sausage, Souvlaki, Homemade Burgers, Wraps, Salads, Fresh Salsa’s, Smoothies, daily specials from Greek, Middle Eastern, Falafel’s. I asked Nadine how she came up with the name Soul Food and Catering and she

told me that SOUL stands for Sustainable, Organic, Unprocessed, Local, and that is how she does business, she buys as much of her product as she can locally right here in Horsefly! (way to go, supporting local!) A great name for a great place, so stop in and see Nadine and get some of her great food. If you want her to cater your special event give her a call at 250-620-3612.

The Bra Lady

Timed Event Jackpot Roping.

Here’s where Barb Chapman, the Bra Lady, comes in.

Chapman is coming to WILLIAMS LAKE ON TUES. JUNE 10TH to outfit you with the best possible bra for your body. Chapman said she will be seeing clients on a one-on-one basis, explaining the benefits of good bras and measuring their bodies properly.

“Most women just want to find a good-fitting bra that’s not uncomfortable,” Chapman said. “What they don’t realize is that a good support bra is also important for blood circulation and enhanced lymph drainage.” Chapman has over 200 bra sizes available for ordering, ranging from 30AA to 52KK. It’s likely that you’ll fit somewhere between those sizes. She offers these questions for women to ask themselves: • Do you have a drawer full of bras but none that fit comfortably? • Does your bust line “bounce” when you walk while wearing your “everyday” bra? • Do you overflow the cup of your bra? • Do your bra straps slip off your shoulders or dig into your shoulders leaving red and painful marks? • Does your bra ride up in the back because you tighten the straps to give you added support? • Have you ever begun an exercise class only to drop out because your breasts ached from lack of support while jumping or running? If you answer yes to any of these you are in need of a new bra, and a custom one could be the way to go.

Is Coming to Size You Up

Are you tired of feeling saggy, lumpy, pinched or strained? Well you’re not alone. As you’ve probably seen on Oprah or read in women’s magazines, over 80 per cent of all women wear the wrong size bra.

A big thank you to all who helped inside and outside the arena and especially our cooks who cooked our meals and the free beef barbecue on Saturday and Sunday breakfast for everyone.

The annual Mother’s Day event at the Petal family ranch was another great success. The Petal family would like to give a big cowboy handshake to everyone who helped out on Saturday, May 10, for branding for Uncle Clarence Petal and also our 14th anniversary Mother Day’s Timed Event on 1Sunday, May 11. It all started out with a fun day of roping but with fundraising through bingos, raffle tickets, Loonie auction and various in-kind donations from local businesses around the Cariboo Chilcotin, rodeo friends and all the local members from Stone, Anaham and Redstone reserve that supported our monthly bingos fundrais-

ing which makes our yearly event bigger and bigger. Many ropers like coming to our yearly event due to no barriers on all timed events and just coming out and having fun with their friends and family. It is a fun full-filled day with many activities throughout the weekend –– the Lehal tournament in memory of our late Grandfather Henry Petal who was a true Lehal player, silent Loonie auction, and a $2,500 bingo. We also gear towards having many kid’s riding events, where they can use their own horses or compete on a borrowed horse. The smile that we see on their faces is unbelievable as they are so happy. We also had the honour of having many top competitors from

Ten local teams registered for Big Bike Ride June 10 Gaeil Farrar Staff Writer A total of 10 teams will be participating in the Heart and Stroke Foundation’s Big Bike Ride coming to Williams Lake Tuesday, June 10, says Teresa Moore, the foundation’s Kamloops/Cariboo area manager. Presented by Dairy Farmers of Canada, the Big Bike Ride is a fundraiser for the Heart and Stroke Foundation. The Big Bike holds teams of 29 riders who are committed to raising a minimum of $50 each in support of heart disease and stroke research. Last year more than 4,000 teams, in more than 600 communities, helped to raise $8.4 million for life-saving research. Moore says the top Williams Lake fundraiser this year will win two tickets to the Wine Down event at Harper’s Trail Winery in Kamloops which includes a concert with Canadian country superstar

A rack card has been produced that encourages parents of 3 year olds to seek out a simple questionnaire they can complete on their own or with assistance. Depending on where they go for the screening tool, they will receive either the Ages & Stages questionnaire or the Nipissing questionnaire. You can get a simple questionnaire from your early learning and care provider including: StrongStart, Public Health, Child Development Centre (CDC), Pregnancy Outreach Program, Child Care Resource & Referral (CCRR), Ministry of Children and Family Development (MCFD), Preschools, Denisiqi & Cariboo Friendship Society.

Come together to promote smoke free spaces Cheryl Sidenberg Special to Tribune/Advisor The World Health Organization and its partners call on countries around the world to observe World No Tobacco Day on May 31. World No Tobacco Day is a day to not only raise awareness of the widespread harms of tobacco use, it is also a day to come together to reduce those harms. Here in British Columbia we have the lowest smoking rate in Canada at 14 per cent but our rates are slowly starting to creep upwards, which means there is still more work to be done. So who is coming together to reduce tobacco harms here in B.C.? Local governments and health authorities are working together to decrease the harmful impact of tobacco in communities. This is being done through implementing bylaws and policy changes as well as supporting programs and partnerships with community stakeholders. In the Interior Health region, our tobacco reduction program is partnering with local governments to help make communities healthier by restricting smoking in public outdoor spaces. Policies and bylaws that discourage people from smoking in places such as playgrounds, sports fields, parks, trails and beaches encourage smoke free living. Smoke free outdoor public places have many benefits above and beyond reducing exposure to second hand smoke. One of the most effective ways to prevent children and youth from starting to smoke is to provide them with smoke free environments where they live, work, play and go to school. Smoke free public places also provide a supportive environment for those who want to quit smoking and they help protect our environment by reducing the risk of for-

est fires and toxic litter. We can all come together to make a difference for present and

future generations. If you would like more information on how we can all work

together to make communities healthier, check out PlanH (http://planh.ca/take-

action/healthy-people/ page/tobacco-reduction). PlanH supports lo-

cal government engagement and partnerships aimed at creating healthier communities.

Falcons finish fifth in the province Skye Forcier Special to The Tribune/Advisor The Lake City Falcons senior girls rugby team took the monkey off its back Saturday, beating Heritage Park to place fifth at the B.C. High School Girls ‘AA’ Provincial Rugby Championships. The Falcons hadn’t beaten Heritage Park the two previous years, however, head coach Morley Wilson said this year was different as the Falcons marched away with a decisive 32-10 victory in their final match of the tournament, hosted in Port Alberni. Emma Pfleiderer, Sheridan Davis, Anne Butters and Carleigh Walters gave Lake City a comfortable cushion in the first half, before Davis and Laura capped off the scoring to close out the contest. Tasha Johnson was named to the President’s XV following the tournament — reserved for the top 15 players — and Laura was named the game’s most valuable player. “The best news might be that 15 of our players were identified by the various B.C. rep team selectors,” Wilson said. Day one of the tournament Thursday saw the Falcons face Brentwood College of Vancouver Island. “[They’re] a very strong private school program that play two to three games a week,” Wilson said. The Falcons started with a quick try from Walters, who picked up a loose ball and ran it in 30 metres for the score. Brentwood answered back, scor-

These girls are very impressive and everyone took notice … Brentwood College know they played a team from Williams Lake and, as usual, I am extremely

proud of these girls.” On day two of the tournament Lake City hammered Merritt 50-0 with tries from Carrie Lange, Davis, Butters, Laura, Johnson, Ayme Desmond, Gina Davis and Anna Bracewell. Heading in to provincials the Falcons were seeded fifth in the province. For Giulianna Durfeld, Kate Barnett, Butters and Davis, it was their last rugby game with the Fal-

cons. All plan to attend the University of Victoria to play rugby. Following the tournament Wilson confirmed Williams Lake has been selected to host the 2016 B.C. High School Girls Rugby Association ‘AA’ Provincial Championships. “Only 103 weeks until we get to host this incredible event,” he said. Skye Forcier is a team member with the Lake City Falcons girls rugby team.

Alexis Creek trap shoot hits the mark

Dan Hicks

Special to Tribune/Advisor

A little rain, a little sun, and lots of fun defined the 43rd BC Forest Service Trap Shoot at Alexis Creek’s Chilcotin Rod and Gun Club Range on Saturday, May 24. Some 85 shooters comprised 15 fiveperson shotgun trap and skeet teams, and individual 22 caliber rifle shooters. So accomplished were this year’s shotgunners at hitting their airborne clay pigeons that an emergency supply of the birds had to be rushed in from Williams Lake. Brian Rosengren, Alexis Creek’s Forester for the CaribooChilcotin District of the BC Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations, organized the event and the Ravens Fire Crew setup the tents, tables, and chairs. Barry Jenkins and Mike Carlson served as range masters — Barry for the shotgunners, and Mike for the rifle shooters. Once again, the Quesnel Quality was the highest scoring trap and skeet team, awarded the Jack

Lynn Memorial Trophy were team members Andres and Terry Street, Ted Traer, Adam Veley, and Gord Wall. Adam Veley was also the male Top Gun, and Judy Jenkins was the female Top Gun. Wes Beaulieu was the last man standing on the first Annie Oakley trap shoot line, winning the Kevin Frittenburg Memorial Trophy. Adam Veley triumphed on the second Annie Oakley line. The 22 caliber rifle shooting winners, listed first to third, were; for women, Michelle Beaudry, Tricia James, and Myanna Schmid; and for youth, Andres Street, Seamus Murphy, and Journey Carlson-Campbell. The Wild-Firers lost to the Call Girls, distinguishing themselves as the lowest scorers, and, though its more bashful members vanished, a sporting remnant of the team proudly posed with their lowestscore trophy. The shoot is annually one of the most well-attended, exciting events held in the community of Alexis Creek.

IT’S YOUR MORTGAGE ens and the Lakers, before the Lakers battled back through the consolation side of the draw to reach the final. In the ‘B’ division final it was the Highlife edging the Arrows, 109, in a tight-knit contest. The ‘C’ final saw the Giants, again, take a one-run victory, 12-11, over the Beer-O-Crats. In the ‘D’ division final Status beat the Broke Millionaires, 9-7. Williams Lake Slo-

Pitch League president and player with the Rowdies, Linda Barbondy, said the tournament was the biggest in the league’s existence. “Twenty-five teams is the biggest we’ve had,” Barbondy said. “It ran smoothly for the first and biggest tourney of the year.” Coming up for the WLSPL is the 20th Annual Overlander Pub Slo-Pitch Tourney from June 20-22.

Rustlers turn rainy day into sunshine Williams Lake downs Prince George Gnats 41-0 in season opener Rodger Stewart

Special to Tribune/Advisor A gray and rainy morning gave way to an afternoon of gentle breeze and sun as the Williams Lake Rustlers hosted the Prince George Gnats in the opening game of the 2014 Interior Rugby Union season. The Ottoman Road ground was in top condition thanks to the close attentions of Mother Nature, a donation of expert mowing services, and hard work by club volunteers Roy Argue and Ben Fulton. Rugby against the Gnats is always a tough, physical affair. This match was no different — strong respect shown by both sides for their opposite numbers. Initial phases re-

vealed the rapid and relentless pace of the Rustlers game, with the Gnats backed into their own 22. Excellent ball production by the tight five forwards created opportunity for quick hands to the wing, with Sky Freeman putting down the first try after six minutes play. The Gnats enjoyed an edge in scrum restarts, the Rustlers being rusty at first with their ball handling. But under sustained pressure, the Gnats conceded a scrum to the Rustlers, leading to a try by Beau Parker. Tactical kicking by the Gnats caused some concern for the Rustlers during the remainder of the first half, though the score line was held. Bolstered by fresh legs for the second half, the Rustlers

showed it would be a long afternoon for the Gnats, as Doug Fraser ended a long phase of great passing to touch down under the posts a few minutes after the re-start. Another try came soon after with Nathan Stewart feeding Beau Parker from a set scrum for his second score. Soon after, Stewart was beneficiary of the Rustler’s sharp ball movement, which left him romping from mid-field for a try under the posts. Jeff Ramage laid down a cute execution of kick and chase, catching the Gnats fullback in his own end zone while pilfering the ball for another try. Jordan Bernier finished the afternoon with a long scramble from mid-field for a try in the corner. With three

tries converted, the final was Williams Lake 41, the Gnats, 0. The Rustlers club executive voiced pride in the team’s work, with director Brendon Pritchard heartily thanking the whole squad for their commitment. The strong connection of the club with high school rugby showed itself in several former students taking notable roles in the game’s outcome. Jared Rossette (Dog Creek), Evan Rankin (150 Mile) and Eric Smith (Big Lake) brought youthful spirit into the game, blunting the point of the Gnats’ attacks with

strong tackles. Jordan Pritchard used exemplary ball distribution to free Rustlers on attacking runs. The return of Billy Parker, to join brother Ryan, brought knowing smiles to Rustler Old Boys; the young guns truly relieving the older guard in riding the herd. Next weekend sees the Rustlers on the road to Terrace, and on June 7, a rematch on the road against Prince George. Mark yourself a reminder to travel up to Ottoman Road for the Stampede Rugby Tournament on Stampede weekend. Two days of near endless rugby,

with top clubs from around B.C. and northern Alberta competing for the coveted Buckle. English rugby is also coming July 14-17, as Merchant Taylor’s School tours our community.

PLAN NUMBER 5-3-681 ONE LEVEL LIVING One-level living is the idea with this compact bungalow, which easily compensates for its lack of a basement with a clever main-floor plan that makes use of every inch of space. The covered entry leads into a foyer with a den (or third bedroom) to the left and a coat closet to the right. Beyond the foyer and past a display case/wine rack are the kitchen and dining area, with the great room overlooking the back garden. French doors in the great room open onto a terrace, and natural light will flood through windows in the dining area and over the kitchen sink. The kitchen includes a handy prep island with a three-seat eating bar, as well as a pantry and generous counter space. The master suite also overlooks the back garden, and includes an en-suite bathroom with an oval soaker tub, as well as a walk-in closet. The second bedroom, tucked in betwixt the master suite, the laundry room and the double garage, will share a three-piece bath with the third bedroom or den, which features closet space as well as a built-in desk that would make it ideal for a home office. The laundry room features a bench and a wall of coat hooks, as well as access to the double garage. The linen closet is located nearby. Should a basement be desired, included are plans for an optional stairway. Exterior finishes include

horizontal siding with decorative accents in the three gables, as well as partly mullioned windows and an ornamental garage door. Brick accents and a wooden pilaster near the front door lend this home the charm of a cottage. This home measures 35
