Ready, set, go... The South End Cross-Country Run brought eight local elementary schools together at the 99 Mile Ski Trails for a day of long-distance competition Oct. 5. Students in Grades 3-7 participated in the annual event, which saw 100 Mile House Elementary School bring home the Golden Running Shoe trophy, as winner of the large schools division, while Bridge Lake Elementary School won the small schools category.

March well attended and powerful Ken Alexander Free Press

This year’s international Take Back the Night march was combined with the national Sisters in Spirit Vigils: A movement for social change event in 100 Mile House on Oct. 4.

The 100 Mile House & District Women’s Centre Society, the Canim Lake Band (CLB), White Feather Family Centre and Wellness Centre hosted the event, which attracted around 85 marchers.

Women’s Centre Stop the Violence counsellor Karen Beresford said this year’s Take Back the Night’s theme was “Shatter the Silence, Stop the Violence,” and the focus this year was “Honouring the Lives of Missing and Murdered Women,” in conjunction with the Native Women’s Association of Canada.

“I think there were 80-85 people at the walk and about 60 stayed for the meal and presentations. It was definitely our best showing yet.

“The walk was wonderful

with the members of the Canim Lake Band drumming prior to, and all the way through, the walk.”

Sheila Dick, one of the key organizers and CLB health administrator, says the event was “very emotional.”

She adds there were more than 100 cities and communities celebrating the vigils on Oct. 4.

“No other event in Canada brings so many Aboriginal communities and Canadian citizens together to specifically celebrate, honour and support

The

Aboriginal women and girls.”

After the walk around town, most of the marchers went to the boardroom in the South Cariboo Business Centre where it was standing room only.

Family members were invited to light candles in memory of a missing or murdered loved ones from this area. There were 13 candles lit.

Those candles stayed lit all evening, Dick says.

Get your flu shot not the flu Influenza, commonly known as the flu, is a highly contagious infection of the airways caused by the influenza virus.

“Some people think influenza is a mild illness, but it can be a very serious illness in some people,” says Dr. Susan Bowles, Immunize Canada chair.

“While most people recover within a week or two, people over 65 years of age and children or adults with underlying chronic conditions can have more serious complications like pneumonia.”

About 10 to 20 per cent of Canadians are infected with influenza each year. The highest rates of influenza infection are seen in children, but rates of serious illness and death are highest in older persons and those with underlying medical conditions.

Other groups at high risk include pregnant women, people who are morbidly obese, people living in nursing homes and Aboriginal people.

Studies repeatedly demonstrate influenza immunization reduces the number of hospitalizations and visits to healthcare providers and is effective in preventing influenza-associated deaths.

All children from six months to five years of age, people 65 years of age and older, people at any age with chronic medical conditions placing them at risk of influenzarelated complications, and people capable of transmitting influenza to high risk individuals should be immunized for influenza.

The best time to get immunized against influenza is October through to December, but it is never too late to be immunized during influenza season.

All Canadians are encouraged to talk to their doctor, nurse, pharmacist or public health office about getting this year’s influenza vaccine.

Folks must bring their Care Cards with them, but no appointments are necessary.

There is no charge for seniors 65 and older, their caregivers and other qualifying individuals.

The clinics will be held at the following locations:

100 Mile House • South Cariboo Health Centre, MultiPurpose Room, 5550 Cedar Ave. from 10:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., on Oct. 16 for surnames

Back to school: ‘save your receipts’ K a m l o o p s Thompson-Cariboo Cathy McLeod, who is the parliamentary secretary for Revenue Canada, reminds all university students going back to school to save their receipts.

“If you’re moving for school this year, you may be able to claim a tax deduction for moving expenses when you file your income tax and benefit return. You may also be able to claim

a non-refundable tax credit based on the cost of your transit passes. So don’t forget to keep your receipts.

“In addition, there are other benefits and non-refundable tax credits students may be eligible to claim.

Non-refundable tax credits reduce your federal tax; however, if the total of these credits is more than your federal tax, you will not get a refund

for the difference.”

• Education amount: You may be able to claim a full-time education amount of $400, or part-time amount of $120, for each month or part of a month in the year during which you were enrolled in a qualifying program at the post-secondary level.

B.C. Coroners Service issues warning about co-sleepers The British Columbia Coroners Service is warning parents of infants about the potential dangers of using co-sleepers, a type of crib that attaches to the side of an adult bed.

The warning comes after an extensive investigation into the death of a 10-month-old Surrey girl who died last year after becoming trapped between the co-sleeper and the adult bed.

In April 2011, Health Canada issued a recall notice for the most common type of co-sleeper – the “Original and Universal Co-Sleeper” manufactured by California-based Arm’s Reach Concepts.

Since that time, the co-sleepers have not been available through normal retail outlets NEW in Canada,

but many used ones are still found for sale at garage sales and through websites, such as Craigslist. It is still possible to purchase the co-sleepers in the United States.

In its recall notice, Health Canada specifically noted the danger that an infant sleeping in one “can become entrapped between the edge of the mattress and the side of the sleeper. This poses a risk of suffocation.”

The coroner’s investigation found this was precisely what had happened in the little girl’s death.

She had been placed on her back in the co-sleeper, but when found she was face-down wedged See WARNING… page 4

• Interest on student loans: You may be eligible to claim an amount for the interest paid in 2012 or the preceding five years on your student loan if you received it under the Canada Student Loans Act, the Canada Student Financial Assistance Act, or a similar provincial or territorial government laws.

Community Infrastructure funding offered This fall will see the latest intake of the Community Infrastructure Improvement Fund (CIIF) program offered by Western Economic Diversification Canada.

Eligible projects will include improvements to existing infrastructure, including community and cultural centres, parks, libraries, recreation facilities and tourism facilities with up to a $500,000 total cost.

The funding is aimed at “shovelready” projects that include accessibility, safety and sustainability upgrades.

Applicants must also obtain funding from other non-federal government sources to match the CIIF contribution of 50 per

cent of the total project costs, to a maximum of $250,000.

However, applicants seeking less than $250,000 in CIIF funding will receive priority in the allocations of these federal dollars.

A wide range of groups are eligible to apply, including non-profit organizations, local governments and First Nations, which have eligible project proposals.

Applications for the funding can be submitted until Nov. 19, after which they will all be assessed. All project work must be completed prior to March 31, 2014.

Candle lighting important symbol MARCH… from page 1 the person. It was very personal and I think it added to the reality.”

Beresford notes Dick talked about the fact there are at least 582 women missing or murdered women across Canada, and the majority of them are in British Columbia.

“She talked about a need to unite to fight the problem and that we need our fathers, brothers, uncles, and grandfathers to help us in our fight.”

Dick says the Canim Lake Wellness Centre women’s group provided the meal of chili and bannock to share with everyone who attended.

After the meal, she says they watch the video, Survival, Strength, Sisterhood: Power of Women in the Downtown Eastside.

“Even though it was documented in downtown eastside Vancouver, I told the gathering a lot of the women are not from there. They’re from throughout B.C. and Canada.

“So, a lot of those women are from communities much like ours.”

Then two youth, Stanley Daniels and

District of 100 Mile House Councillor Bill Hadden prepared his candle to be lit by Canim Lake Band resident Amber Christopher during the candle-lighting ceremony of the joint Take Back the Night/Sisters In Spirit Vigils: A movement for social change gathering on Oct. 4. The annual march attracted around 85 marchers, which was a record turnout for 100 Mile.

Catriona Henderson, read the joint statement from Sisters in Spirit Vigils: A movement for social change, put together by the Native Women’s Association of Canada.

CLB Chief Mike Archie spoke about the strength of women in the community and the need for the men of their community to support the women.

District of 100 Mile House Councillor Bill

Hadden told an emotional story about his family, Dick explains.

“It meant a lot to the organizers to have a city councillor there because I don’t know if we get the support or representation that we need.”

100 Mile House RCMP Const.

Claire Myers spoke about the Keep Safe Registry, which is a voluntary DNA and

fingerprint registry for anyone (male or female) who wishes to participate. It is an investigative tool for the RCMP to use in a missing person or wrongful death situation.

The tool is fully confidential and sealed until the participant goes missing or becomes a victim of a homicide.

Gail Edinger, the regional co-ordinator for the Co-ordination for Women’s Safety, sent a letter, which Beresford read because Edinger could not attend.

“Essentially, it spoke to the need to keep each other safe, and to continue to push the police to look into the deaths of so many women.”

Beresford then read a poem, I’ll Rise,

by Dr. Jean Leonard.

Says Dick: “I think that what made the evening was we had people there with their babies and right up to the Elders, and our chief made the effort to attend, drum and speak.

Four important tips for lifting According to WorkSafeBC, young males under the age of 25 are at the highest risk for a workplace injury and the number 1 danger facing these young workers is lifting objects.

With this in mind, the Physiotherapy Association of BC has put together a few tips on how to lift objects safely to

prevent injury.

• Warm up and plan before you lift.

To get your blood flowing and your joints lubricated, do some practice squats, heel lifts and arm circles first.

Plan ahead for your path of lifting; think twice, lift once. Check to make sure the surface area is not slippery or uneven.

• Lift with your legs not your back.

Stand as close as possible to the item you are lifting. Place feet shoulder width apart and bend at the knees, not the waist so you use your legs and core rather than your back to lift. If the item is big and heavy, get help or use a dolly.

• Wear proper footwear.

While away, be smart with your power and cut down on electricity use and costs.

Vacation check list: • Turn off your lights. Set up some energy-efficient lamps on timers for security and use photo sensors or motion detectors for outdoor lights.

• Consider emptying your fridge and freezer completely and then unplugging them if you’ll be away over an extended period of time. For shorter trips, try filling old containers with water to improve your fridge’s efficiency. Having an empty fridge or freezer requires more energy to cool the empty spaces.

• Unplug all TVs, stereos and all related components, except your set top box/VCR if you

plan to record shows while you are away. Consider using an ENERGY STAR® set top box.

• Set electric heaters to the lowest temperature. For gas water heaters, you can use the vacation setting.

• Make sure to turn off air conditioners and ceiling fans.

To minimize heat entering your home, draw your blinds and close other window coverings.

• Anything with a clock – for example microwave ovens or coffee machines - uses electricity, so remember to unplug these appliances to diminish “phantom” load.

• Many electronics still draw power even when they are in an off state. Unplug all non-essential devices, like phone chargers.

An average Canadian household wastes $43 a year due to standby power.

you’re planning on lifting something, wear good shoes with low heels, not sandals, high heels or flip-flops. Don’t twist when you lift, move your feet to the new position.

• Control the weight, don’t let it

control you. If you are lifting more than one thing, balance the weight equally between both hands; don’t lift a heavy item with one hand and a light item with the other. Plant your feet and lower your centre of gravity.

whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s listening to CaribooRadio.Com

WEEK OF OCTOBER 14 TO 20, 2012

KATHLEEN HARTARD

THE LUCKIEST SIGNS THIS WEEK: AQUARIUS, PISCES, AND ARIES.

Kathleen says: â&#x20AC;&#x153;CaribooRadio.Com adds a personal touch to quality radio! â&#x20AC;ŚReporting and posting on Cariboo events via their Facebook page.â&#x20AC;?

ARIES

You could discover a whole new vocation.

Take a good look at your professional and personal priorities and choose a future thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s better suited to you.

Kathleen won free lunch at â&#x20AC;&#x153;Chevronâ&#x20AC;? in 100 Mile House B.C. CONGRATULATIONS!

TAURUS

Be careful about saying â&#x20AC;&#x153;yesâ&#x20AC;? to everyone this week, which puts you under a lot of pressure to keep your promises. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re having a hard time making an important decision at the moment. It might help to talk to somebody else for an objective opinion.

GEMINI

A few hours of overtime this week will really help to improve your financial situation. You find yourself thinking about finding a new home.

CANCER

Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be shy about manoeuvring yourself into a position where you will be noticed.

Enjoy the pride you feel. At work you will receive some kind of reward.

LEO

You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel much like getting out of the house this week. You are feeling very attached to your roots, and maybe a little too attached to old clutter. Letting go of it will do you good in the long term.

VIRGO

Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not afraid of speaking your mind and you express out loud what others are only thinking. That will be useful this week, as you will be called upon to assert your authority in a rather complicated situation.

LIBRA

You might have to invest a large sum of money into your work. You may even have to buy a new vehicle to ensure that you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get stuck.

SCORPIO

You might have to organize an event that involves a lot of people. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be shy about trying to impress those around you this week.

HOW TO PLAY: Fill in the grid so that every row, every column and every 3x3 box contains the numbers 1 through 9 only once.

Each 3x3 box is outlined with a darker line. You already have a few numbers to get you started. Remember: You must not repeat the numbers 1 through 9 in the same line, column or 3x3 box.

SAGITTARIUS

If you are still looking for the perfect job, you will find some inspiration this week.

You will also benefit from a great imagination and a lot of creative energy.

CAPRICORN

You are starting to feel the harmful effects of your sedentary lifestyle. Invite friends and family to do some kind of physical activity together with you.

FOR ANSWER: See the Oct. 10thFREE PRESS Puzzle No 371

AQUARIUS

As you try to plan out your next steps, whether for a new career or for retirement, get plenty of exercise to help yourself see things more clearly.

PISCES

Undertaking some type of training will propel your career to new heights. You will be truly inspired by some new challenges that require patience.

Quit.

Before your time runs out.

When grilling, do it safely Grillers will use any excuse to go outside for those special barbecued meals.

Whether youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re grilling in the comfort of your own backyard or while camping, you should know that using natural gas or portable propane appliances safely requires some care and preparation.

Every year, injuries, property damage and sometimes more serious consequences happen due to misuse of gas-fired equipment.

However, incidents, such as fires, burns, and carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning, can be avoided by using a few simple safety precautions.

The BC Safety Authority (BCSA) is asking campers and grillers to inspect gas equipment prior to use and be aware carbon monoxide is a colourless, odourless, toxic gas that can cause flu-like symptoms and even death.

Never use gas equipment in enclosed spaces and refer to the manufacturerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s manual for maintenance and safe operating requirements.

Here are the BCSAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top 3 safety reminders: â&#x20AC;˘ Portable gas appliances must only be used outside where there is ample ventilation; not in tents, RVs, cabins,

houses, apartments or any type of indoor space, as this can lead to deadly carbon monoxide poisoning or fire. â&#x20AC;˘ It is critical to never leave children unattended around gas-fired equipment. â&#x20AC;˘ Ensure your propane appliances and cylinders are in good working order.

The BCSA website provides more information about camping and grilling safety and CO safety at www.safetyauthor ity.ca/sites/default/ files/GrillingSafety Checklist.pdf, or www.safetyauthority. ca/carbon-monoxide.

Make your home safe for fall weather

With cooler fall temperatures arriving, households across the province will begin turning on furnaces, fireplaces and other gas appliances that may have been idle throughout the summer.

In anticipation of this change of seasons, the BC Safety Authority is urging British Columbians to be aware of the dangers of carbon monoxide (CO) and to take measures to keep themselves and their families safe.

All homeowners with gas appliances, including boilers, furnaces, hot water tanks, stoves, dryers and fire places, should have those appliances inspected and serviced annually by a licensed contractor as part of their home’s regular maintenance routine.

In addition, all households should be equipped with Canadian approved CO detectors.

CO detectors are mandatory in new home construction, but may not be present in older homes.

CO detectors are as important as smoke detectors to your family’s safety and can be easily installed in any home.

Carbon monoxide is a colourless, odourless gas that is produced by burning carbon fuels, such as propane, natural gas, wood, charcoal, alcohol, kerosene or gasoline.

Exposure to CO interferes with the body’s ability to absorb oxygen, which can result in serious illness or death.

Symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning can include: light headedness, headaches, nausea, fatigue, chest pains, vomiting, convul-

sions, confusion, and dizziness. Other signs to watch for include: condensation on windows, plants dying, and having an entire family sick at the same time.

At particular risk are children who are more rapidly affected by CO at lower exposure levels than

adults, and seniors living at home who may not be as likely to have a regular appliance maintenance routine or whose exposure symptoms may be mistakenly attributed to other health issues.

If you suspect carbon monoxide exposure, leave the building immediate-
