LIE DAF = a mn ; Page 10 July 1983 Cassiar Courier Thoughts on Food Most people associate Swedish food with the Swedish smorgasbord, which is world-famous for its variety of tasty dishes but the Swedish table has a great deal more to offer. They have anhum- ber of genuine national dishes, well worth discov- ering. Some may seem a bit strange, but if you have the opportunity of tasting them, you will be agreeably surprised. The following recipes are typically Swedish dishes, which are not too dif- ficult to make. GRAVAD LAX (Cured Marinated Salmon) 6 lbs. salmon 4 tablespoons sugar 4 tablespoons salt 2 tablespoons white peppercorns dill seeds Filet the salmongremove all small bones, but not the skin. Mix sugar, salt, peppercorns and rub one-half into salmon. Place a layer of dill on the bottom of a shallow dish and then one salmon filet with skin down. Cover with a generous lay- er of dill. Sprinkle with the remainder of the salt sugar and peppercorns. Place the other salmon filet on top, skinside upwards and so that the thin part rests on the thick part of the lower piece. Cover with a generous layer of dill and finally place a very light weight on top (the juice must not be pressed out of the salmon. Refriger- ate the salmon for I or 2 days. Turn the salmon over when half this time has passed. Scrape off all the spices when the salmon is to be served. Cut into thin slices and serve cold with Gravlax Sauce, lemon wedges and boiled potatoes. GRAVLAX SAUCE Mix 2 tablespoons mustard, 1 tablespoon sugar and I tablespoon vinegar in a bowl, then add 6 tablespoons oil, a little at a time, until well blended. The sauce will thicken rapidly and must be stirred vigorously. Finally add 6 table- spoons sour cream and plenty of finely chopped dill. JANSSONS FRESTELSE 4 servings Peel 8 medium sized potatoes and cut them into thin strips. Peel and thinly slice 2 onions. Brown the onions and the potatoes in a little butter. Alternate layers of potatoes/onions with 1 tin of filled anchovies or 1 tin of pickled sardines in a buttered ovenproof dish. The top layer should be potatoes. Pour 6 tablespoons of sour cream over the dish, sprinkle some breadcrumbs on top Dot with 2 tablespoons butter.Bake in a 400° oven for approximately 40 minutes. Add a fur- ther 3 tablespoons of sour cream. Continue ‘to bake for another 5 — 10 minutes or until pot- atoes are soft. by Derek Walker SWEDISH APPLECAKE 4 servings Brown 12 oz. of fresh rye breadcrumbs in 4 oz. of butter in a frying pan. Fill an ovenproof dish or frying pan with alternate layers of bread, 2 — 3 tablespoons brown sugar and % pint of apple- sauce or puree. The top layer must be bread. Bake in a moderately hot oven at 400 for ap- proximately 20 minutes. Serve with vanilla ~quce. VANILLA SAUCE Beat together 3 egg yolks, 2 tablespoons gran- ulated sugar and % teaspoon vanilla essence un- til they form a light, fluffy mixture. Whip ¥% pint whipping cream, fold in egg mixture. Serve with applecake. Sweden is also a cheese country par excellence. There are more than 200 different varieties of cheese. The ~typical.Swedish cheese is a hard cheese. The range runs from strong ripened cheese such as Vasterbottem and Lagrad Svecia to milder cheese such as Greve and Herrgardsojt. If you ever have-the opportunity to try these dishes and cheeses — do so. They will surprise you! Ooops!! Last’ month we erroneously attributed the “Thoughts on Food’’ column to Derek Walker. Duncan McArthur compiled those delicious bar- Is your house burglar-proof ? With the coming of the summer shutdown period in July and August 1983, most people will probably be leaving town for at least part of the summer. Most will : be in a frantic rush to get everything packed and ready so they can get out of Cassiar and enjoy their vacation. But, has everybody taken time to take precautions to prevent a possible break-in to their house or room? Since the beginning of the year, there have been at least thirty theft related offences reported in the area. You may not think that this is high, but you must re- member that all of these have occurred during the winter months when everybody is around town. What will hap- pen when most people leave their homes or rooms emp- ty when they leave for shutdown? Will break-ins and thefts increase? Only you can be the judge of this. An empty house and its’ contents are quite vulnerable and are an open invitation to burglary. Very few people are in a position to protect their homes and property 100% of the time, but in this article, | am going to suggest a few-simple ways to help protect your property from bur- glary and thefts. Burglars seldom steal things for their own personal use. They steal things that are easily converted into cash by selling, and things that are easily carried away. Bur- _glars hesitate to steal things that are easily traceable. Therefore, proper identification of an article may well discourage the theft before it takes place. It is best to record all serial numbers on all items of value. If they do not have a serial number on them, then it is best to en- grave them with your driver’s license number. Electric engraving pencils are available at the Cassiar R.C.M.P. of- fice and can be borrowed for a few days in order to mark your items. Remember to record these numbers and keep them in a safe place so that the police can en- ter these articles on a Nationwide computer if they are stolen. 5 He ALL SEASONS TRAVEL. OFFICE HOURS 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. WEEKDAYS (OPEN DURING LUNCH HOUR) CLOSED SATURDAYS UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE AND CLOSED ALL DAY SUNDAY Most break-ins are relatively unsophisticated and many are simply “’Crimes of opportunity”. As a result, with a little effort you can bring your house or room to a point of minimum security that will discourage most burglars from attempting’a break-in. The best method of protection is to get somebody to. move into your house while you are away. If this can’t be done, get somebody to keep an eye on it for you. Get somebody to turn the lights on at night. Get somebody to cut the grass and water your garden. Just checking it once or twice a day may prevent somebody from breaking into it. It is a proven fact that most burglars will attempt to Gain access to a house by. the easiest and ‘quickest meth- od possible. This usually means the doors or windows. Do not rely on key-in-the-knob locks. Although these are very common, they provide little security. They can be easily picked. Not much force is required to kick in one of these locks. Us a 1’ Deadbolt lock on all exterior doors. These have a.solid bar stock cylinder guard and _ hardened steel bolts that securely fix the lock to the door. Hollow core doors are not secure. ideally, all ex- terior doors should be solid wood at least 1 3/4” thick. If there is a window in the door, replace it with a plexi- glass material. The door frame should also be made of solid wood and should be equipped with a proper strike plate. Make sure that all of your exterior doors have the hinges and hinge pins on the inside of the house. If they are on the outside, it is only a matter of taking a screw- driver, knocking the pins out, and lifting the door off of the hinges. Windows provide little security. Most window locks can be pried open with ease. However, you can upgrade the security of your home by installing secondary locks on all of your windows. One of these methods is pinning. Nearly all windows can be pinned for security. Commer- cial pins are available but large nails are just as effective ryel Gave!

BIINGET CHARTERS AVAILABLE FOR MTTTTITIT ee and less expensive. A 3/16’ hole can be drilled through the inside frame and partly through the outside frame. Then a nail can be placed:in the hole to secure the win- dow. Sliding windows can be easily opened from the out- side by lifting them out of their tracks-and pushing them to the side. To prevent this from happening, you can take a piecé’ of old hockey stick and place it in the track against the edge of the glass. You can then nail the hockey stick into place, making it impossible to lift the window out of its’ track. The same can be done for those of you that have sliding patio doors. Basement windows are the most common point of entry. Such windows should be replaced with a plexi-glass type material. Seldom used windows should be permanently secured. If your window is within an arms reach of the door lock, this glass should also be replaced with plexi-glass. if The most inviting thing for a burglar is to see an un- locked garage. Garages have a variety of tools in them that can be used for house-breaking. Make sure that you secure your garage using the same methods as listed above. If you have curtains.in your garage, close them. This will usually prevent a potential burglar from window shopping. Last, but not least, don’t leave lawnmowers, ladders, canoes, etc lying around, Make sure that you lock them up in a secure place. These are just a few suggestions to make it harder for somebody to burglarize your house or room. Most of it is common sense and can be done quite cheaply. If you d~ happen to be staying in the Cassiar area for the summer and you do see something suspicious, please don’t hesitate to. call us any time of the day or night. It is a lot easier to solve the break-in at the time it happened rather than two months down the road. And remember, anybody can be the victim of a burglar. Have a safe summer. Cpl. R. G.

Adult lessons will be provided if there is enough interest. It might be a good idea for parents to check their child- ; ren’s skates before they go on holidays so if a new pair is needed it can be purchased while they are out. OOOO OO ORR IEE Tennis by Fiona Carew The tennis lessons are now half way through and to date forehand, backhand, service and basic court and game knowledge has been taught. The 5.15p.m. class is at half strength and the 6.15p.m. class has its full quota of 8 people. CLUB The club has met regularly on Wednesday and Saturday afternoon, with games being arrang- ed for people at times convenient to them. We have eight regular players but our hope would be for more to get a good social afternoon going. Anyone interested in having arranged games is welcome to put their name forward. \ COURT The court has been cleared of years of debris, an entry gate has been installed, winches have been fixed to the nets and a set of large gates have been installed to allow early access to clear snow next _ spring, and new rules have been posted. GENERAL We have received a few reports that the Junior and Teen Tennis time is not being fully utilized and if there is no improvement in the next couple of weeks this time will be released to general use in fairness to other players. The times set aside are Monday and Wednesday 4 - 5.30p.m. $4. IN THE SWIM The Cassiar Clippers swam lengths on June 8th as their — major fundraising activity. Twenty members of the team swam for 14 hours. Warwick Elhorn, Gerard Huber, David Madore, Tammy McDougall, Shawn Penno and Kim Madore completed the 150 lengths. Several members of the team completed over 100 lengths They were Joanne Coran, Kelly Huber, Dyonne Zubek, Nicole Deyo, Kate Elhorn, Stephen Ryan, Darla Creyke, Pam King, Ericka Gricnik and Corrina Boyes. Other par- ticipants were Sherry Zebroff, Denise Gay, Travis Penno and Gennifer Tooke. A few dedicated members of the community also parti- cipated in the fund raising. Thanks to Lil Kamlah, Andy Scott, Liz Strebel and John Wong for helping out the” swim team. John’s energy and enthusiasm didn’t stop at 150 - he completed 160 lengths. A spectacular effort John. Once all the pledges are in the club should have raised over $3000. Thanks for your support. This money will go towards travelling expenses, and equipment. Hopefully Cassiar will host a meet in August with Yukon teams par- ticipating. : rey The Clippers are affiliated with the B.C. Summer Swimm- ing Association. There are 8 regions in the province. Cas- siar is in the Cariboo Region along with Fort Nelson, Fort St. John, Dawson Creek, Mackenzie, Prince George and Whitehorse. The regionals will be held in Dawson Creek early August with the top swimmers from all regionals competing in the B.C. Finals in mid August.

Traditionally hunters in British Columbia have been able to hunt any area they pleased where there was an “open season. There was no attempt to limit the number of people who hunted in a particular place, or the number who took out licences to hunt a certain kind of wildlife. When hunters were fewer and wildlife abundant, we could afford that kind of freedom - and for most of our hunt- ing in British Columbia we still enjoy it. Since 1974, how- ever, another control has been added to the usual season and bag limits restrictions - Limited Entry Hunting. Limited Entry is a special means of conserving wild- life, applied in special circumstances. The Limited Entry system closely regulates the number of hunters authorized to hunt in a particular area during a certain period of time, limits the total number of animals they may harvest and the kind of animals, in terms of sex and age that they may - take. People who want to take part in a particular Limited Entry hunt must apply for the privilege. A random draw by computer determines which applicants receive author- izations. The first L.E. hunts were set up where hunter de- mand was likely to exceed the supply of animals available for harvest, or where the animals were so concentrated that a normal “‘come - one, come - all’’ open season would have resulted in an overharvest. In situations of that kind Limited Entry permits hunting to go on, when the only alternatives would be an extremely short open season crowded with hunters, or no hunting season at all. The Limited Entry hunt for California Big-Horn sheep on the Junction Wildlife Management Area in the Chilcotin is a good example of this kind of L.E. Hunt. Last year 566 hunters applied for a chance to harvest the five sheep that could safely be taken there. Recently Limited Entry has been used to shift hunt- ing pressure onto particular classes of animals within a wildlife population. The objective is to correct sex and age imbalances that have developed as a result of shooting too many males and too many prime animals of both sexes. ~ For example , some heavily hunted moose populations
