The CCRHD Board approved total funding in the amount of $128,702, representing 40 per cent of the total cost of the Dunrovin Energy Conservation Measures project. The necessary capital expenditure bylaw will be brought forward to the Board at its August 21, 2015 meeting for three readings and adoption.

Interior Health Peter Du Toit, Acute Health

Service Director for Interior Health, provided an update regarding the Cariboo Memorial Hospital (CMH) redevelopment project, mental health services, and physician recruitment.

Du Toit reported that the concept plan for the CMH redevelopment plan has been submitted to the Ministry of Health. Highlights of the concept plan include a new wing; improvements to Emergency Room, Ambulatory Care, Inpatient Care, and Pharmacy Services; and improved parking.

Further information concerning the redevelopment plan can be viewed online, along with other Interior Health news at interiorhealth.ca.

Recruitment The Cariboo Chilcotin

Regional Hospital District (CCRHD) Board received a news release from Northern Health, announcing an expansion in Specialist services in the Quesnel. Over the last two years the community has recruited a psychiatrist and a replacement ear, nose, and throat specialist.

Quesnel is also home to internal medicine and surgical services, with a second internist slated to arrive in August of 2015. Further information about Northern Health is available online at northernhealth.ca.

 Plans for roadsTodd Hubner, representing

the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure, spoke to the Board regarding the Ministry’s long-term plan for roads in the Cariboo region affected by landslide or flooding issues. Further information about some of the projects within the region and more can be found on their website at gov.bc.ca/tran.

SupportThe Cariboo Regional

District Board will be providing a letter to Spinal Cord Injury BC to support their application for financial support from several different sources for “Access North” 2024 projects. “Access North” 24 is an initiative which will act as an umbrella for a number of projects that will look at access and inclusion for people with disabilities in Northern BC; some of these initiatives include accessible outdoor recreation spaces, passenger train accessibility, and a video production that will celebrate accessible parks and tourism opportunities throughout Northern BC and showcase the area.

 Accessibility The Cariboo Regional

District’s Grant Writer will be exploring opportunities for grant funding to help improve

accessibility at the Cariboo Memorial Complex.

Community WorksThe Cariboo Regional

District authorized up to $180,000 of Community Works Funds for capital improvements to the 103 Mile Water System, should a local service be established. Earlier this year, the Board resolved to use up to $3,000 of Rural Feasibility Funds to conduct a study after receiving a request from Saunders Enterprises Ltd., to take over the 103 Mile Water Utility.

NDIT             The CRD Board of Directors

resolved to support three funding applications to the Northern Development Initiative Trust (NDIT) Regional Development Funding program. 

The first project was a request from Miocene Community Club. If approved, a total of $20,766 will be used for the installation of new exterior siding, an energy efficient furnace, new energy efficient windows and a new well system for the Miocene Community Hall. 

Two projects from the Horsefly Community Club also received support.  If approved, a total of $30,000 will be used to purchase and install new exterior insulation, siding, and fascia boards for the Horsefly Community Hall; and a total of $15,000 will be used to install new insulating wrap to the exterior of the Horsefly Community Hall.

CAPSULE COMMENTSSafeway

With Jessica Joly B.Sc. (Pharm)Vaccines are not just for kids. Tetanus/diphtheria vaccine should be given every ten years. If you are a senior, you should have a pneumococcal vaccine. It is also recommended that those over the age of 60 should have a shingles vaccine shot whether they have had chickenpox as a child or not. This is a one-time vaccination and is effective in preventing the pain and discomfort that shingles can bring.We’ve heard about the positive health benefits that come from eating an ounce or two of hazelnuts, almonds or cashews daily. Peanuts are technically not a nut but a legume. But there are benefits from eating them daily as well. Heart attack and stroke risks may be reduced by eating nuts or peanuts daily.Have a cough that just won’t go away? Does your chest hurt when you breath deeply? Do you often wheeze or are short of breath? Do you ever cough up phlegm with blood in it? You may not have lung cancer but it’s worthwhile having it checked. Lung cancer has no early warning signs in its early stages but as with most diseases, early detection increases the chances of better treatment.The first actual “vitamin pill” was first marketed in 1936. It contain liver and iron supplements.Today, there are thousands of different vitamin products available. How do you know if you need one and which is best for you. We can help.

NEWS

 from A2

The Cariboo Regional District Board resolved to forward two resolutions to the 2015 Union of BC Municipalities convention.

The first resolution is to lobby the Ministry of Advanced Education and the BC Treasury Board for the establishment of a Physiotherapy Program at the University of Northern BC to provide for 20 more physiotherapy academic seats. 

The second resolution is to call upon the Province to deliver the full allowable cut under the BC Timber Sales program, complete a science-based inventory of the available timber supply, and move assertively to increase operating certainty on the working forest land base.

 Discontinuation The Cariboo Regional District will

discontinue    the sub-regional Budget Consultation meetings   which have traditionally been held in January each year. Instead, budget information will be made available on the CRD website as well as having copies available for public viewing at the front counter of CRD offices and libraries.

CRD endorses resolutions

The BC Wildfire Service has made progress on both fires on note in the Cariboo Fire Centre. The Bald Mountain wildfire is now 100 per cent contained and the Puntzi Lake wildfire is 67 per cent contained.

Crews have estab-lished guard and laid hose around 100 per cent of the Bald Mountain fire, which was mapped at 655 hectares in size. Monday, crews were patrolling the fire and suppressing any remaining hot spots. There are 24 BC Wildfire Service firefighters currently assigned to this inci-dent.

On the Puntzi Lake fire, dozer guards have been established around the majority of the fire’s perimeter and direct attack efforts from the crews have success-fully increased the

containment of the fire. Crews continue to work towards full containment through direct attack, burn-out operations, mop up activities and pa-trols of quieter areas. The fire size is now estimated at 8,142 hectares due to the addition of burn-out operation areas.

The fire behaviour over the weekend was not as aggres-sive as expected due to lighter winds than originally forecast. The majority of the fire activity remained within the control lines; however, there was one escape that grew to five hectares with moderately vigorous fire behav-iour. Crews and heavy equipment contained the escape with sup-port from helicopters and amphibious airtankers.

Aggressive fire be-haviour is anticipated again Tuesday with

high winds present on the fireline. There are currently 130 firefighters, 17 pieces of heavy equipment, four helicopters and 51 support personnel assigned to the Puntzi Lake fire. Air support and heavy equipment are positioned to control escapes from containment lines.

The Cariboo Regional District’s realigned their Evacu-ation Order and Alert areas on July 17. For more details and updated maps, please visit the Cariboo Regional District’s Emergency Opera-tions Facebook page at: www.facebook.com/CRDEmergen-cyOperations

SKYFEST

ANNIE GALLANTObserver Reporter

The phrase Once in a Blue Moon refers to something that occurs rarely. SkyFest 2015 will experience a blue moon (second full moon in a calendar month) on July 31, the exact date of the Twilight Show. Unbelievable!

Now you may ask, “what is a twilight show?”

“This is an airshow that utilizes pyrotechnics during the twilight hours of the evening. These fireworks, such as the afterburners on the CF-18 military jet, are particularly spectacular,” said Airshow organizer

Barb van Halderen.“The Twilight Show is comprised

of selected performers who discharge pyro from their wings in a exciting display along with their amazing aerobatic performance.”

Quesnel’s Twilight Show features Super Dave Mathieson, Manfred Radius with his pyro-emitting sail plane, the Canadian Armed Forces CF-18 with its glowing afterburners

and the military Skyhawks Parachute team as well as the Flashfire jet truck.

Gates open at 7 p.m. and show starts at 8 p.m. – 10 p.m. Entrance is by the airport road and purchasing your tickets online at

quesnelskyfest.ca, at $20 each, is highly recommended to ensure your admission to this very special show. Some tickets will be available at the gate.

“Building on the extreme success of SkyFest 2013 – this year’s show, including the new Twilight Show is experiencing an amazing buzz,” van Halderen added.

Holger Bauer Memorial FundIn 2008, one year following his death, Holger Bauer’s friends and family established a donor advised fund within QCF to boost forest safety education. The terms of the Holger Bauer Forest Safety Memorial Fund were such that the earnings of the fund were to be used in the promotion of safety in the forest industry. In 2015 the Holger Bauer Committee requested a broadening of the terms of reference of the fund and while still remaining committed to the focus on promoting forest safety within the industry, earnings of the fund would be directed towards supporting and encouraging those broader interests that were so important to Holger, speci� cally forest safety, outdoor recreation, forest stewardship and conservation. The monies will be distributed in the form of a grant, starting in 2016. Holger died in a logging accident in 2007 and left behind many friends. He is remembered as an initiator with infectious energy who encouraged others to set personal challenges and in the process to discover their own abilities. The vision of the original fund will be carried forward in the years to come with the purpose of “enriching our own lives by making just some of Holger’s qualities our own, and in turn make the lives of those around us that much better.”

Economic growth means raises for unionsTOM FLETCHER

Black Press

The B.C. govern-ment exceeded its fi-nancial targets for the last fiscal year, and the economy grew enough that unions that signed on to the government’s growth sharing formula will likely see a small pay increase in 2016.

Finance Minister Mike de Jong present-ed the province’s au-dited public accounts Wednesday, with a surplus of $1.68 bil-lion, almost 10 times the size it was fore-cast to be. That was due mainly to higher personal, corporate and sales tax revenue in the later part of the fiscal year that ended in March.

Gross domestic product growth came in at 2.6 per cent for the year, ahead of the finance ministry’s economic forecast council figure of 2.3 per cent. Public service union con-tracts signed last year included a formula to distribute half of any gain above that independent forecast, translating to a 0.15 per cent additional raise on top of negoti-ated increases.

De Jong said the GDP numbers must still be finalized by Statistics Canada, and the adjustment to pay levels for employees in the health, educa-tion and other public services who signed on will be made in 2016.

De Jong said he is tracking the steeply rising cost of the cur-rent forest fire season, and there is a contin-gency fund to cover whatever is needed. That uncertainty and international instabili-

ty in Asia and Europe mean the govern-ment will not assume higher revenues will continue this year, he said.

Sales tax revenue exceeded budget fore-casts by $322 million, and corporate tax revenue was up $208 million. Property transfer tax was up $128 million, and all other taxes brought in $254 million more than forecast.

Natural resource revenue decreased by $18 million from

2013-14, despite an increase in forest revenue of $35 mil-lion due to economic recovery. Less rainfall

and snowpack led to a decrease of $74 mil-lion in power produc-tion.

smoking was blamed for as many as 60 grass and mulch fires. It was the suspected cause of a grass fire near Kelowna, as well as one on Burnaby Mountain, and has resulted in several fires recently in West Vancouver.Forestry Minister Steve Thompson

was actually asked by media if he is considering an outright smoking ban in vehicles as a way of reducing fire danger. Reasonably, the answer to that was basically a “no.” However, the ministry is currently reviewing fines under the Wildfire Act and hope-fully that will result in greater penal-ties.Consider that in 2014 the cost of

fighting fires in BC was $297.9 mil-lion. Forty-four percent of those fires were caused by humans and some of those were indeed caused by smoking.That’s an expensive habit for any

province.Yet in B.C., the fine for flicking a lit

cigarette out a car window is $173. The only way it can be higher is if the cigarette is proved to cause a fire, and the perpetrator can be assigned part or all of the firefighting and associated costs.By way of comparison, the same flick

in Calgary costs a smoker $1,000. In Western Australia – a place that knows a thing or two about wild-fires – penalties for careless smoking can reach fines of $25,000 and/or 12 months in jail.Cigarette butt fines in B.C. are out of

step with related charges, for example contravening a fire ban, which can net a minimum ticket of $345 and if prosecuted in court could result in a maximum fine of $100,000 plus jail time.While B.C. residents might be con-

sidered the choir, the province needs to preach to the congregation of thousands of visitors who drive its highways every summer.Media campaigns, advertising and

more highway signage promoting the dangers of careless smoking would have a cost attached, but surely in the long run would result in saving mon-ey, property and potentially lives.

Have you noticed the latest degradation of

standards on TV news? In addition to sensational depictions of crime, accidents and celebrities, the lineup now incorporates any nonsense that is momentarily “viral” on the Internet.

So it was with an online petition singling out Swiss food corporation Nestlé, which operates a water bottling plant near Hope. It’s the largest in B.C., one of many that bottle the province’s water and sell it back to a gullible public.

This petition is courtesy of SumOfUs, one of those self-appointed environmental watchdogs that seem to pop up like mushrooms overnight. “Fighting for people over profits,” they claim, pitching for donations.

The story has what U.S. comedian Stephen Colbert calls “truthiness.” That’s when something is false, but it “feels” true. 

“Nestlé is about to suck B.C. dry – for $2.25 per million litres to be exact,” says the SumOfUs headline.

Using her keen sense of what’s superficially popular,

Premier Christy Clark instantly called for a review of these low rates for selling the people’s water.

It then fell to Environment Minister Mary Polak to explain what’s really going on.

“People keep saying there’s a deal with Nestlé,” Polak told reporters. “There isn’t. They pay the same as any other industrial user, in fact the highest industrial rate, and it goes for anything from hydraulic fracturing to bottled water, those involved in mining for example, any of those heavy industrial uses.”

And why is that rate so low? It’s because the province takes great pains not to “sell” water, which would make it a commodity under trade agreements, like oil or minerals. That would surrender provincial

control, and allow the U.S. to press for equal access to Canadian water.

“You’re buying the right to use the water,” Polak said. “I know it sounds crazy to the public, but we call it a rental – a water rental. There’s a reason we use that language, because we are very careful to avoid any suggestion that by paying this amount, you therefore own that water.

“That reserves for us the right at any time, for a compelling public need, to say stop. It doesn’t matter if you have a licence.”

As for the brazenly false claim that Nestlé is sucking B.C. dry, I’m indebted to a real environmental professional named Blair King for explaining this. (His blog, achemistinlangley.blogspot.ca, offers useful technical explanations of issues in the news, many of which contradict so-called environmentalists.)

King notes that the bottling plant uses less than one per cent of the flow through Kawkawa Lake:

“If Nestlé stopped operating (and put its 75 employees out of work and stopped paying municipal

taxes) would there be more water for the rest of us?” he writes.

“Absolutely not. Kawkawa Lake drains its excess water into the Fraser River, which drains into the Strait of Georgia. Neither the Fraser River at Hope nor the Strait of Georgia is particularly short of water, even in the driest of years.”

Clark made one useful contribution, when asked about this urgent non-issue by those seeking to further sensationalize the current drought and forest fires.

She correctly noted that most B.C. residents have access to the best tap water in the world, and have no need for bottled water.

Nestlé, Perrier, Coke, Pepsi and other companies have done a fantastic job of convincing people that their drinking water has to be delivered in bottles from some mythical pure source.

Here’s a tip, Nestlé critics: Fill a jug with water and stick it in the fridge. Fight the corporations.

Editor:It’s no secret that B.C. is

one of the most beautiful regions in all of Canada. However, the scenery, comes a high cost of living for B.C. citizens. While these high living costs can mean first- rate living standards for many British Columbians, they do not bode well for the many at- risk children and youth of B.C..

According to the First Call B.C. Child and Youth Advocacy Coalition, 18.6 percent of children in B.C. live in poverty (First Call B.C., 2014). How can this possibly be the accepted reality in a developed country such as Canada?

In my mind, the best way for the B.C. government to spring B.C. kids out of poverty is to raise their parents/guardians out of poverty. The most effective way to do this is by increasing

the minimum wage.Why does the minimum

wage need to be increased?

According to livingwageforfamilies.ca, in B.C. in 2015, the earnings of a single parent caring for one child, working full- time over a full year, at $10.25 minimum wage, total $8000 dollars below the poverty line annually (Living Wage for Families, 2015). Due to this reality, many minimum wage earners in B.C. are forced to make difficult choices between things such as paying rent, heating the house, or feeding the children. No child should go to school hungry because his or her parents cannot afford to feed him.

My mother, Jodie Haberstock, has taught at W.L. Seaton Secondary for the past four months and has witnessed the

breakfast program that is being provided to teens who come to school without having had a breakfast. She pointed out that similar lunch programs are put on by the nearby Faith Baptist Church to provide students with a mid- day meal opportunity as well (Haberstock, 2015).

These are just two of many similar programs being operated around B.C. that work to provide students with food that they might not otherwise receive due to the financial status of their families. While these are honourable programs, they highlight an obvious poverty issue that the B.C. government needs to be addressing.

First Call B.C. Child and Youth Advocacy Coalition supports the idea that a $15 dollar per hour minimum wage would be

necessary to spring B.C.’s at- risk families and youth out of poverty (First Call B.C., 2015).

By the current numbers, about 20 per cent of the B.C. population is under the age of 19 (Wikipedia, 2014) and 18.6 per cent of these children are living in poverty (First Call B.C., 2015). Of B.C.’s total population, a staggering four per cent is made up of children and teens who are living in poverty!

Increasing the minimum wage for these at- risk teens and their parents or guardians would bring about the change required to lift many B.C. kids out of poverty.

In 2014, the president of the B.C. Federation of Labour said that, “$13 represents the poverty line and we believe that no government should tolerate a wage in British Columbia that, when

you go to work full- time, you’re not at the poverty line” (CTV News, 2015).

While increases in minimum wage are often feared because they tend to bring about a rise of prices in the market (inflation), this is not always the case. Inflation, in reality, can be caused by any increase in production cost. While an increase in minimum wage would constitute this, it is only one of many factors that could have the same effect.

These factors range from the law of supply and demand to governmental tax changes.

While these changes do cause small degrees of inflation, they happen regularly without any astronomical effect on the consumer. Raising minimum wage would likely have a similarly small effect (Dollars and

Sense, 2015).So, what is B.C. afraid

of?As it stands right now,

the B.C. government has plans to increase minimum wage by 20 cents in September (the Globe and Mail). While this is a step in the right direction, this increase falls critically short of the increase that is necessary to help at- risk B.C. families and kids rise out of poverty.

It is imperative that the government raise minimum wage to at least $13/hour so that earners can stay marginally above the poverty line and provide adequately for their children. For the sake of at- risk B.C. youth, it’s time to change the amount of change in the pockets of British Columbians.

Helping seniors access safe and effective

therapeutic exerciseAs we age it is easy to place

physical and mental restric-tions on ourselves for the sake of erring on the side of caution. While it is important to listen to our body and know our limits, age is truly a mindset and with the right education and support system, seniors can have the con� dence to continue living the lifestyle they want.

Maintaining independence at home is a goal shared by both seniors and their loved ones. To achieve this goal seniors must establish and evaluate the everyday risks they face. Risk assessment and preventative action provides seniors with the con� dence to continue living independently and their loved ones with peace of mind. The

combination of therapeutic exercise and expert consultation can help seniors attain the � t-ness level necessary to maintain their independence while staying healthy.

Providing seniors with this con� dence is an important in-vestment, and you should make sure that any professional you consult is accountable for the services they provide. Kinesiolo-gists are regulated health pro-fessionals in Ontario who are who competent in gait analysis, designing and implementing programs to prevent falls and injury, improve body strength and enhance balance and move-ment.

The College of Kinesiolo-gists regulates the profession in

Ontario (check B.C. regulations) and ensures the delivery of competent, safe and ethical ser-vices. Working with a registered kinesiologist gives you peace of mind knowing they are highly trained and accountable for their consultation and work.

Only members of the College are permitted to use the title kinesiologist. The College exists to protect the public by setting strict requirements to enter the profession, developing standards of practice and a code of ethics and requiring kinesiologists to participate in continuing profes-sional development. If you are concerned about the services re-ceived, you can contact the Col-lege and they will investigate.

Exercise is medicine reducing the risk of dementiaAccording to the World Health Organization,

one new case of dementia arises every four seconds worldwide. As Canada’s population continues to age, the number of adults living with dementia is expected to reach an estimated 1.4 million by 2031.

As there is currently no effective medication to alter the progress of cognitive impairment, it comes as no surprise that there is signi� cant interest in lifestyle approaches for preventing or treating de-mentia.

What does the research show us?Summarizing the best available and most recent

scienti� c evidence, the McMaster Optimal Aging Portal provides these key messages that can be acted upon:

• In healthy older adults, routine physical activity may reduce the risk of developing dementia while promoting overall physical health.

Both aerobic and resistance exercises may improve aspects of cognitive and brain function.

• In people who have dementia, routine physical activity may be an important way to prevent further cognitive decline.

• Regular physical exercise may help improve mo-bility and other physical limitations of older adults with dementia. This might enable them to rely less on assistance from caregivers, possibly resulting in greater self-satisfaction.

July 19 - 25, 2015ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20You are in for a treat this week, Aries. You finally get to experience the results of all of your hard work. Celebrate with a dinner out or a good party.

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21Taurus, calmly approach a difficult situation this week. Giving yourself time to carefully assess a problem will provide the most effective solution.

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21Gemini, a resolution to a problem you haven’t been able to solve is on the horizon. This will make things much easier in the long run, and your patience will pay off.

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22Cancer, since you are a friendly person and the life of the party, it should come as no surprise that everyone wants to be your friend. Expand your social circle if you feel you have time.

LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23Leo, sometimes you take on too much. Reevaluate your schedule and see if there are ways you can cut back on your commitments for a few days.

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22Virgo, your goal for the time being is to take care of business and clear your calendar. You may be more than ready to indulge in some rest and relaxation.

LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23Curiosity may get the better of you this week, Libra. It’s good to pursue your interests, but make sure you aren’t stepping on anyone’s toes along the way.

SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22Scorpio, you desire quick answers, but no one seems to be moving at your pace this week. You might just have to buckle down and be patient. Answers will come in due time.

SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21Sagittarius, a trip is enticing, but you have too many responsibilities on your plate to up and leave right now. You will have time to get away soon enough.

CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20Capricorn, take a hectic schedule day-by-day. Ev-erything will get done in time, and you just need to have a little patience. Distract yourself this week.

AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18Someone or something may have turned you off of making a large purchase, Aquarius. Discuss your sudden change of heart with someone close to you.

PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20Don’t turn your world upside down to take on an-other project, Pisces. You have plenty on your plate to keep you busy as it is.

RecipesStir-fry is a dish many people, adults and kids alike, seem to love. That popularity is perhaps because no

two stir-fry dishes ever seem to be the same or because stir-fry dishes encourage cooks to take chances with ingredients.

Those who want to experiment with a tried and true stir-fry success might want to try Michelle Dudash’s recipe for “Orange Peel Beef & Broccoli Stir-Fry With Brown Rice” from her book, “Clean Eating for Busy Families” (Fair Winds Press).

Orange Peel Beef & Broccoli Stir-Fry With Brown RiceServes 4

For Sauce:2 tablespoons reduced sodium soy sauce1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons rice vinegar1 tablespoon cornstarch2 teaspoons honey1⁄2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper1⁄4 teaspoon Chinese 5-spice powder (or 1⁄4 teaspoon cinnamon and 1⁄8 teaspoon each ground fenne

l and cloves)1 tablespoon dark sesame oil

For Stir-Fry:51⁄2 cups bite-size broccoli � orets1 tablespoon minced garlic1 tablespoon minced ginger (or 1⁄2 teaspoon ground ginger)1⁄8 teaspoon salt1 pound � ank or � at iron steak, or top sirloin, thinly sliced against the grain in 11⁄2-inch pieces1 tablespoon expeller-pressed grapeseed or canola oil1 orange, 2 teaspoons grated zest, inner segments sliced2 teaspoons sesame seeds3 cups cooked brown rice

To make the sauce: Stir together all of the sauce ingredients in a small bowl and set aside. To make the stir-fry: Heat a large frying pan or wok over high heat, add 1 cup of water and bring to a boil. Add broccoli, reduce heat to a low boil and cover with a lid or

piece of foil, leaving a gap for steam to escape. Steam for 5 minutes until almost fork-tender. Move broccoli to a plate, reserving cooking water in another container.In a medium bowl, sprinkle garlic, ginger and salt evenly over the beef. Scrape the pan clean, place it on high heat and add the oil. When the oil is shimmering, add the beef

in an even layer and cook for 2 minutes undisturbed until brown. Toss with a wooden spoon to break up the pieces, reducing heat to medium-high as needed. Add orange zest and sesame seeds and cook until beef is done, another 2 minutes. Swirl in the sauce, add broccoli and stir-fry to reheat. Add a splash of reserved broccoli water if mixture seems too dry. Serve hot and garnish with orange segments.

Scrumptious stir-fry for the family

Tasty meal gets kids cooking in the kitchenGetting children to try new foods is not always easy. Kids have a tendency to be picky when it comes to the foods they eat, and many youngsters are reluctant to try all but

the most familiar foods.Getting kids to embrace a variety of foods may take time, but such a noble effort can produce successful results. Dining on different foods helps to develop the palate and

also ensures that children are being exposed to an array of nutrients and vitamins that are essential for growing bodies.One way to help children be more receptive to new foods is to involve them when choosing the menu and preparing meals. A youngster who went shopping, picked out foods

and assisted in the kitchen may be more eager to try the � nal product than one who has not. Mexican-inspired dishes may be one way to put new foods on the dinner table. “Cheddar Beef Enchiladas” from “Casse-

roles, Slow Cooker & Soups” by Taste of Home editors (RDA Enthusiast Brands) features familiar ingredients combined with some more exotic � avors. Enchiladas can appeal to picky eaters.

Cheddar Beef EnchiladasYield: 2 casseroles (5 to 6 enchiladas each)

1 pound ground beef1 envelope taco seasoning1 cup water2 cups cooked rice1 can (16 ounces) refried beans2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided10 to 12 � our tortillas (8 inches), warmed1 jar (16 ounces) salsa1 can condensed cream of chicken soup, undiluted

In a large skillet, cook beef over medium heat until no longer, pink; drain. Stir in taco seasoning and water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 5 minutes. Stir in rice. Cook and stir until liquid is evaporated.

Spread about 2 tablespoons of refried beans, 1⁄4 cup of the beef mixture and 1 tablespoon cheese down the center of each tortilla; roll up. Place seam-side down in two greased 13x9x2-inch baking dishes.

Combine salsa and soup; pour down the center of the enchiladas. Sprinkle with remaining cheese. Bake one casserole, un-covered, at 350 F for 20 to 25 minutes or until heated through and cheese is melted. Cover and freeze remaining casserole for up to 3 months.

To use frozen casserole: Thaw in the refrigerator overnight. Cover and bake at 350 for 30 minutes. Uncover; bake 5 to 10 minutes longer, or until heated through and cheese is melted.

Cheddar Beef Enchiladas are a meal that can be prepared and enjoyed by the entire family. Featuring familiar ingredients presented in a new way, they can satisfy even the pickiest of eaters.
