February is Spay/Neuter Awareness Month and the BC SPCA is calling on all British Columbians to take action to help end the tragedy of pet overpopulation in their community.

“The terrible reality is that there are still many more animals born in our province every year than there are homes for,” says Lorie Chortyk, general manager of community relations for the BC SPCA. “The SPCA and other rescue groups find homes for thousands of these abandoned or surrendered animals every year, but we know that there are so many more who suffer and die after being abandoned by their guard-

ians. It is heartbreaking because this is a completely preventable problem.”

The BC SPCA is calling on animals lovers to take at least one action step in February to help save an animal’s life. Ideas include: 1. Spay or Stay. Donate the cost of a cat spay ($110) through the BC SPCA’s online Pawsitive Gifts site (spca.bc.ca/support).

If you can’t donate the full cost of a cat spay, make an online gift of a cat stay ($12) and your donation can be used towards the cost of sterilizing a cat.

2. Take Action. Send a letter to the mayor and council in your community requesting a low-

cost spay/neuter fund for your area or volunteer to assist with a presentation to council (spca. bc.ca/spay-neuter).

3. Volunteer. Volunteer to transport animals to and from their spay/neuter appointments or foster an animal who needs spay/neuter surgery aftercare.

To find out more, contact your local SPCA branch or visit the volunteer section of the BC SPCA website (spca.bc.ca).

“If everyone who loves animals takes one action step this month it will make a life-saving difference and will bring us closer to ending the tragedy of pet overpopulation in our province,” says Chortyk. She also

urged any pet guardian who has not already had their animal sterilized to make a spay/neuter appointment with their veterinarian this month. “Not only does this help prevent unwanted litters being born, but spaying and neutering also has numerous health and welfare benefits for your pet.”

The BC SPCA spends nearly $2 million each year on lowcost spay/neuter programs in communities across B.C. and ensures that every dog, cat and rabbit adopted from an SPCA shelter is sterilized prior to adoption.

News Do women with glasses ever make passes?

I started the day on my hands and knees, slapping dust bunnies beneath the bed in search of my eye glasses.

No, I don’t usually store my glasses under the bed. When the alarm went off my arm shot out sending my glasses on a predawn flight that—judging by the sound of clattering—had them ricochet off the closet before coming in for a landing beneath the bed.

The interesting thing about losing your eye glasses is you need them in order to find them.

Especially when you’re as poor sighted as I am.

After a frantic search, my hand finally fell across the frames.

SLICE OF LIFE SHANNON McKINNON

To my great relief they hadn’t broken.

If I am ever looking for something to be grateful about, I only have to think about my glasses.

No other invention has made as big a difference to my life.

While lots of people complain about wearing them, I am just grateful I have them to wear. I remember a commercial from years

ago where a sultry Sophia Loren peered into the camera through a pair of designer glasses and cooed something like, “They say men never make passes at women with glasses, but I ask you; do women with glasses ever make passes?”

My answer? Just pass me the glasses.

The first recorded use of lenses mounted on frames dates back to the thirteenth century.

Before that there is some evidence of eye stones made out of quartz or glass, but on the whole corrective eyewear were either unheard of, scarce or beyond the means of the average citizen.

Monocles were the rage for awhile, but think of the inconve-

nience--not to mention muscle power--required to keep the lens in place.

Not much better were those eye glasses on a stick. I can just picture myself out in the garden, one hand hoeing while the other held eye glasses to my face.

By the end of the day I’d look like a deranged Sherlock Holmes.

But even worse would be to have been born before the invention of any corrective type lenses at all.

There I’d be playing in front of the family cave house when suddenly a blurry, figure would appear in the distance.

“It’s Pa home from hunting!” I would cry in great delight, rush-

ing headlong into the jaws of a sabre-toothed tiger.

In a perfect world we would all have 20/20 vision, though having worn glasses since the second grade this isn’t something I dwell on.

It’s difficult for me to even imagine opening my eyes every morning to a world already in focus. I do have contact lenses that I can sleep with, however, my eyes get so dry that morning finds me stumbling around all squinty eyed in search of eye drops.

There are some upsides to having poor eyesight. For example, people with perfect vision will never experience how gorgeous Christmas lights are when you take off

your glasses. And if I’m at a scary movie, I don’t need to close my eyes. All I have to do is remove my glasses.

While being spared the graphic details of the gory scenes, I can still tell when it’s safe to put my specs back on negating the need to bug those around me by asking, “Is it over?

Is it over?”

I had always assumed poor eyesight was hereditary until our own two sons grew up not needing glasses, despite both Darcy and I being lens wearers.

Some studies claim almost all babies are born with perfect vision, but lose it due to environmental causes such as things that induce eye strain, like too much reading.

Apparently our eye-

balls need to be taken out to play along with the rest of us.

I’m not sure if I believe that. I certainly read a lot as a kid, but so did our sons. And I also spent a lot of time outdoors playing, so who knows?

Still, I wouldn’t trade all those hours spent discovering the magic of the written world for perfect vision, even if it was the cause. And I kind of hope it was, since that would mean all those cave kids long ago would never have mistaken their father for a sabre-toothed tiger.

What a relief.

Eating Disorder Awareness Week is held each February to educate the public on the relationship between dieting, body dissatisfaction and eating disorders. The goal is to increase awareness of the factors that cause people, particularly women, to develop eating disorders like anorexia and bulimia.

It’s been over 13 years since a new weight-loss drug has come on the market. A new one was just OK’d in the U.S. It’s called Belviq and it works on a brain chemical that controls appetite. Weight-loss drugs have had a rather shaky history and it’s not sure how good this new one will be. The drug is still under review in Canada. It may be available to pharmacies within the year.

Losing weight is big business. However, there is no magic answer to the problem. To make weight-loss permanent, one must simply eat fewer calories or burn more calories. In fact, for better results, do both.

Research in Israel has produced a strain of marijuana that can ease pain and discomfort symptoms but without the part of the plant that makes people “high”.

Perhaps this altered product might make access easier for those with chronic diseases like MS, Parkinson’s and post traumatic stress disorder.

There is so much occurring in the world of medications.

More mom musings…

I told you some of my mom’s story last month – her impossible survival at birth – and I had many interested comments about it so I want to share a few funny bits, too.

We heard many stories over the years about her unique experiences.

One story is about a time my mom, trying desperately to drive and fend off three overly rambunctious young children in the back seat at the same time, told us very sternly she would pull over next time she had to tell us to “smarten up.”

We knew right away what she meant and our heads briefly flooded with visions of THE STRAP (that short length of leather she frequently threatened to use but rarely did).

However, the threat was not enough to stop the shenanigans and,

CORNER STORIES COLLEEN CROSSLEY

when she got hit by one of the flying “missiles,” she immediately screeched to a stop on the side of the road, reached into her purse and brought out the strap, turning around to give us a well-deserved swat.

At that very moment, the passenger door flew open and into the front seat hopped a breathless, very grubby young man with a big toothless grin.

She had been distracted and not noticed the hitchhiker as she pulled over so imagine her sur-

prise when he jumped, mumbling “thanks, lady.”

He took one look at the strap and said “thanks, lady” again as he quickly jumped out!

We all howled with laughter at the look on his face!

Another time, when the town minister was visiting, mom turned to scold my sister for being so noisy while they were trying to talk.

To her horror, my sister cringed away like a beaten dog, as if in terror.

The minister gasped and left the house without a word!

Ever after, mom told us, the minister was “extremely cool” to her.

Once, on a trip to Hawaii, she and my cousin were looking out the window of the hotel and noticed a big party going on in the penthouse of the next building.

WOW, what a dish...

Looking for adventure (and on a bit of a dare), the two of them went right on over and bluffed their way into the party, waving their

Auditor returning to Australia Tom Fletcher Black Press B.C. Auditor General John Doyle has accepted a job as Auditor General of the Australian state of Victoria.

The appointment puts to an end a bitter debate between B.C. MLAs about whether Doyle should have been offered a second term of six years.

Doyle has insisted his term of office extends until next October, while an all-party MLA committee con-

cluded his term was to end in May. The appointment of a replacement for B.C. may be delayed until after the spring election.

After one or more B.C. Liberal members on the committee refused to support a unanimous vote to reappoint Doyle, Premier Christy Clark stepped in and suggested he be offered a two-year extension.

She also said legislation should be changed to give B.C. auditors a non-renewable eight-

year term, to avoid the problem of politicians voting in secret to reappoint their own financial watchdog.

Doyle has shaken up the government’s handling of BC Hydro finances, forest inventory and other issues.

He also forced a remake of the B.C. legislature’s own finances, revealing that MLA expenses were being paid without receipts.

After Doyle highlighted the rapid growth of BC Hydro deferral accounts,

where debt ballooned as the utility continued to pay dividends to the government, the B.C. Utilities Commission ordered BC Hydro to increase customer rates to pay the de-

Independent MLAs seek spring cleanup TOM FLETCHER Black Press B.C. voters have had enough of bags of cash, instant party memberships, and corporate and union donations influencing their provincial affairs, say three of B.C.’s independent MLAs. Cariboo North MLA Bob Simpson, Delta South MLA Vicki Huntington and Abbotsford South MLA John van Dongen are calling for reforms to party financing and a meaningful role for backbench MLAs. And they want the changes made in the brief legislative session that begins next week.

“People want MLAs to represent their constituents, not special interests or party leaders,” said Simpson, who was kicked out of the NDP caucus in 2010 for criticizing then-leader Carole James’ lack of policy specifics.

The MLAs are also calling for B.C.’s scheduled election date to be switched to the fall, so the May 14 vote will be the last one featuring a spring budget that remains an untested political document.

Simpson noted that one of the B.C. Liberal members supporting Premier Christy Clark’s leadership bid turned out to be a cat, and NDP leader Adrian Dix won his leadership

Huntington, the only MLA elected as an independent in 2009, said B.C. is one of the last places in Canada that still allows political donations from corporate and union sources.

She said B.C. should also ban donations from non-residents, to prevent Alberta “oil barons” and other outsiders from influencing the vote.

Van Dongen, who quit the B.C. Liberals and later the B.C. Conservatives, said he was able to speak out

about the cost to small business from the new Family Day holiday.

NDP and B.C. Liberal members didn’t have that freedom because their leaders supported it, he said.

NDP house leader John Horgan said his party is on record in support of fall elections and banning corporate and union donations.

But he doesn’t think it’s likely either one will be a priority for the B.C. Liberals as they use a 19-day session to set up for an election campaign.

Simpson said he will ask the government to consider at least the switch to fall voting in the spring session, which starts Feb. 12 with a throne speech.

News Electricity surplus costly, NDP says

Tom Fletcher Black Press BC Hydro stands to lose $1 billion over the next four years by selling surplus power at a loss, NDP energy critic John Horgan said Monday.

Horgan renewed the NDP’s long-standing criticism of the B.C. Liberal government’s push for electricity self-sufficiency, and its requirement that all new clean energy sources be privately developed.

Long-term purchase contracts signed under that policy mean BC Hydro can expect to lose more than $1 billion by 2015, Horgan said at a news conference at the legislature.

We’re purchasing at $94 a megawatt-hour, and we can sell it for $37 a megawatt-hour on the spot market.”

- John Horgan He based his calculations on documents BC Hydro released when it filed its application last week for an environmental assessment for the proposed Site C dam on the Peace River.

The environmental impact statement for the dam shows an expected surplus of 5,200 gigawatt-hours for 2013 and similar surpluses out to 2015.

Horgan said the current information suggests BC Hydro will have a surplus for the

next 10 years.

“We’re purchasing at $94 a megawatthour, and we can sell it for $37 a megawatthour [on the spot market],” Horgan said.

“The net difference being $57 per megawatt-hour for power we do not need, power that BC Hydro was forced to purchase because of aggressive B.C. Liberal energy policy.”

Energy Minister Rich Coleman said Horgan is using a “snapshot” of today’s

low spot market and extending the same demand and prices far into the future.

The province has numerous mine projects underway or seeking approval, and liquefied natural gas export proposals are proliferating in northern B.C. that are also likely to increase demand for electricity, he said.

Coleman said the North American electricity market has likely reached bottom, with the U.S. using its

own cheap natural gas to generate electricity and still suffering a slow economy with low power demand.

BC Hydro’s Powerex division continues to buy and sell power, using dam capacity to effectively store power and sell it when prices are higher. Coleman said Powerex stands to make $200 million this fiscal year on electricity trading.

One of B.C.’s moneymakers is wind power produced with U.S. government subsidies. Wind power can’t be stored, so Powerex buys excess power at a nominal cost and uses it while storing water in BC Hydro dams.

Tips from The CrD

Clothes Dryer safety

Doing laundry is most likely part of your every day routine. But did you know how important taking care of your clothes dryer is to the safety of your home? With a few simple safety tips you can help prevent a clothes dryer fire.

•

...because we live here.

• • • •

• • • •

Have your dryer installed and serviced by a professional.

Do not use the dryer without a lint filter.

Make sure you clean the lint filter before or after each load of laundry. Remove lint that has collected around the drum.

Rigid or flexible metal venting material should be used to sustain proper air flow and drying time.

Make sure the air exhaust vent pipe is not restricted and the outdoor vent flap will open when the dryer is operating. Once a year, or more often if you notice that it is taking longer than normal for your clothes to dry, clean lint out of the vent pipe or have a dryer lint removal service do it for you.

Keep dryers in good working order. Gas dryers should be inspected by a professional to make sure that the gas line and connection are intact and free of leaks.

Make sure the right plug and outlet are used and that the machine is connected properly.

Follow the manufacturer’s operating instructions and don’t overload your dryer.

Turn the dryer off if you leave home or when you go to bed.

and don’t forget...

“Financial security has always been important to my husband and I, ...that’s why we still invest through Western Financial Group.”

Dryers should be properly grounded.

Check the outdoor vent flap to make sure it is not covered by snow.

Keep the area around your dryer clear of things that can burn, like boxes, cleaning supplies and clothing, etc.

Clothes that have come in contact with flammable substances, like gasoline, paint thinner, or similar solvents should be laid outside to dry, then can be washed and dried as usual.

Stage set for B.C. senate election

B.C. VIEWS TOM FLETCHER

Cannon will roar across the Inner Harbour on the morning of Feb. 12 to mark the opening of the 2013 legislature session.

Lieutenant Governor Judith Guichon will inspect the troops and present her inaugural Throne Speech, setting out the B.C. Liberal government’s goals for the coming year.

This ritual will kick off a legislative session that is expected to run until March 14, where the official Parliamentary Calendar shows a three-week break for Easter.

Debate is unlikely to resume in April, as the election campaign will be in full roar by then.

This means there will be a grand total of 19 sitting days to push through a budget and a raft of legislation.

Here’s my unofficial preview.

The pre-election budget will be presented Feb. 19 by Finance Minister Michael de Jong.

Premier Christy Clark has decreed that it must be balanced, and the government has made extra efforts to armour itself against what will likely be the loudest debate ahead.

First, de Jong held a prebudget meeting of the government’s blue-chip forecast council in public. This provided a visual record of what happens every year, when

the finance ministry solicits the same sort of independent advice as most competent democracies, and bases its numbers on that.

Then the finance ministry hired former Bank of Montreal chief economist Tim O’Neill, who will act as an unofficial version of the parliamentary budget officer in Ottawa. Now that we have simultaneous oversight of child welfare and the police, the next step is to extend it to finance bureaucrats.

Regardless of party, the government has to produce

a three-year set of forecasts to replace the current one.

A lot of election energy will go into competing claims about who is better at predicting the future.

Another new law to be given high priority is one setting up senate elections, to be run in connection with the May 14 provincial vote.

Alberta pioneered this, and Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s recent round of senate appointments included Calgary lawyer Doug Black, who won an Alberta senate election held last

year.

There was no one appointed to replace Gerry St. Germain, who bid an emotional adieu as a Conservative senator for B.C. last year.

St. Germain was instrumental in uniting the splintered federal Conservatives, but he reached the mandatory retirement age of 75, having been appointed by Brian Mulroney in 1993 after losing his seat as an MP. Why would this senate reform be so urgent for the B.C. Liberals now? Well, turnout for the 2009 election

fell to around 50 per cent, a record low for a provincial vote. If that downward trend is reversed this year, it will be in large part because people are still mad enough about the harmonized sales tax and a range of other issues to get off the couch and kick some B.C. Liberal butt.

Electing senators remains a popular notion, especially with older, conservativeminded voters in B.C. who identified with the Reform Party. The first-ever senate election looks like the best available shot at boosting

turnout among people who are not likely to vote NDP, and who may also be disengaged from provincial politics.

And then there is the provincial sales tax bill. Another kick in the slats for the movie business, for one, and don’t hold your breath for NDP leader Adrian Dix to produce a solution in the wake of his recent trip to Tinsel Town.

The performance of the governing party and the opposition will be scrutinized as never before.

Splash of Colour theme for TRU fundraising gala Splash of Colour is the theme for this year’s Thompson Rivers University north scholarship fundraiser coming up in Williams Lake Saturday, March 2.

The event takes place in the TRU auditorium.

The evening will feature cocktails, dinner and dancing along with live and silent auctions.

“The appetizers this year will be done by R2H Foodservice and

New World Coffee and Tea House,” says Jacquie Johnston, TRU marketing and recruitment co-ordinator.

“The desserts are coming from M&M Meat Shops and this years dinner service will be catered by Carmen’s at the Ramada Hotel.

Other than that she says they are keeping the menu under wraps for now.

Johnston says last year’s TRU Grit Gala raised $40,000. for entrance scholarships and

awards for prospective students attending TRU in Williams Lake.

“Five high school students have already received concurrent studies awards and have enrolled in first year university courses,” Johnston says.

“The students will receive dual credit towards high school and

university.”

Tickets for this year’s gala March 2 are $95 each and can be purchased at TRU or PMT Chartered Accountants.

Pipeline poll shows most against Northern Gateway Jeff Nagel Black Press A new poll has found 61 per cent of B.C. residents oppose Enbridge’s proposed Northern Gateway pipeline, while support is at 35 per cent.

And the Insights West online survey found opponents of the project are more entrenched – 38 per cent are strongly opposed, compared to just 11 per cent who strongly support the new route for crude oil across northwestern B.C. to Kitimat.

• • • • • • •

“The negative side has continued to build momentum,” said Insights West president Steve Mossop, citing a hardening of opinions against Enbridge in a series of polls since last spring.

“Opinions are becoming much stronger,” he said, likening the Enbridge issue to the crystallization of public opinion against logging in Clayoquot Sound in the 1990s.

“It’s a bit of a snowball effect,” Mossop said. “And it becomes very difficult

to change a very entrenched position like that.”

It’s a different story in Alberta, where the survey, which polled 512 B.C. residents and 562 Albertans, found 75 per cent support for the project.

Respondents in both provinces agreed by large margins that the pipeline will create new jobs, support economic growth and create new capital investment.

But environmental concerns – the risk of ocean spills as well

as pipeline construction impacts on land – trumped the economic benefits for most B.C. residents.

“Even the negative side recognize the benefits,” Mossop said.

“They’re just not being persuaded that the down sides are worth the risks.”

Men in both provinces were more likely than women to support building the pipeline.

Mythbusters fun at TRU Wednesday A Mythbusters Night for the whole community is coming up at Thompson Rivers University campus in Williams Lake Wednesday, Feb. 13 from 7 to 9 p.m.

The 13th will feature a night of superstitions and busting myths in a fun way for the public to get to know the university.

“Make like Adam Savage and Jaime Hyneman and bust the

myths that pose to be true at TRU while exploring the university and what it has to offer,” say organizers.

Costumed characters will be helping visitors to explore myths such as “broken mirror, seven years bad luck” — “knock on wood” — “bad luck comes in threes” — “black cat crossing your path” — and “unlucky 13.”

“Faculty and staff

at TRU are creating myths that with be busted, proven or plausible by participants,” says Jacquie Johnston, TRU marketing and recruitment co-ordinator.

Relax and Enjoy God God is all about joy, peace and relaxation. The busyness, stress and fast pace of life today is not God’s plan for us. We were created for action, activity and a productive enjoyable life but not at the speed and intensity of modern life with no time for quality relationships with family, friends and God. Those close to me could be getting tired of hearing, “relax and enjoy life” or “relax and enjoy God.” I say this often primarily for my own benefit but I hope others hear and get the concept.

For believers in God, it is simple, even simplistic. Trust in the Lord with all your heart and allow God to live out goodness in you. This is easy yet very hard because we want control. I feel deeply for those, inside or outside the church, with no practical belief system that brings them peace and joy.

As a pastor I have had the opportunity to observe people deal with the worst of life. I have witnessed parents in the heart wrenching throws of grief at the loss of a child. Believers have a hope and peace that comes from an authentic trusting relationship with God. Their grief process is the same as those without such belief but the believer has a practical peace in the midst of loss that is nothing short of supernatural.

Life on this planet is complicated and hard for everyone. The bad news is that it is not going to get easier or

PARSONS PEN

BY CAMERON JOHNSTON slow down. The good news is that everyone can slow down, relax and be at peace even in crisis.

We can and must learn how to relax and enjoy healthy relationships, especially with God. Negative stress comes from our broken relationship with God and our unhealthy concepts of the divine. God’s expectations are not nearly as demanding as our perception of them.

Jesus said, “Are you tired? Worn out?

Come walk and work with me and I will give you rest. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace and live freely and lightly.” (adapted Matt. 11:28-30) This includes spiritual, physical and

emotional rest and healing from the pain and hurt of living in a spiritual or physical war zone.

One particularly busy and driven person was the brilliant Biblical writer Paul. His journey to complete trust in God reveals a life of extreme stress.

Comparing himself to his enemies, he said, I’ve worked much harder, been jailed more often, beaten up more times, flogged five times, beaten by rods three times, stoned once, shipwrecked three times. I’ve been at risk in the city and at risk in the country. I’ve spent many a night without sleep, missed meals and been betrayed by friends.

Through it all, he learned to be content whatever his circumstances.

Paul learned the secret to relax in crisis through a deep practical trust and acceptance of the grace and love of God. He says, “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.”

This peace, contentment and joy can be yours. Simply be open to the God of unconditional grace. When prompted, receive his amazing gift of absolute acceptance and forgiveness.

Be transformed by allowing God to live out his life in you, not by trying to be good but by allowing the power of God to create you into a new unselfish and caring person. Relax, receive God and no person or crisis will ever separate you from the peace and joy that providence has always intended for you.

MONEY MATTERS

2013

Hospitality workers beware the taxman cometh

Has anyone else noticed that CRA seems to be getting very aggressive lately?

Now they are targeting the lowest of low income earners, those in the hospitality industry!

Recently, CRA completed a Pilot Project in St. Catharines, ON and not surprisingly, the project revealed that most people employed in the hospitality industry were dramatically under reporting their tips. (shock!)

The pilot project targeted 145 servers working in just four restaurants.

Auditors reviewed two years’ worth of income and found that every individual had hidden some portion of their tips from the taxman, with about half reporting no tips whatsoever.

In the end, the blitz flushed out $1.7 million in unreported tips and gratuities — almost $12,000 for each person.

“Industry insiders often tell servers that they only need to report 10 per cent

of their . . . wages as tip income,” says an internal report on the project.

“Our results indicate that tips are more likely to be 100 per cent to 200 per cent of . . . wages. In essence, they are only reporting 5 per cent to 10 per cent of earned tips/gratuities.”

The auditors conclude: “The amount of unreported income was very surprising.”

The St. Catharines blitz was among dozens of pilot projects across the country that targeted the underground economy, estimated to be worth as much as $36 billion in 2008, according to a Statistics Canada study prepared for the revenue agency.

The other projects, which also reported in 2010, focused on the trucking industry, houseflipping, electronic sales suppression or cashregister zapping — even Quebec’s maple-syrup industry.

The tax agency has long

known that the hospitality industry is rife with tax reporting abuse, partly because tipping is often done using untraceable cash.

The Statistics Canada study, using macroeconomics rather than direct measurements, estimated undeclared tips were worth some $1.3 billion in 2008 — a small fraction of the underground economy.

The pilot project in St. Catharines drilled down to actual restaurants and hospitality workers as a reality check.

Revenue agency staff began the blitz with an information campaign at 311 dining establishments in the city, warning serving staff and bartenders of the consequences of failing to declare tip income.

The direct audits of the 145 servers six months later resulted in each person paying an average of $1,553 in extra income tax, an amount auditors called “respectable” given

that many were students with access to special credits that kept their overall taxes low.

“We also believe that auditing this type of restaurant has a significant ‘word of mouth’ effect with the servers in the local industry,” says the report, which urged a national version of the project.

A spokeswoman for the Canada Revenue Agency said officials are still reviewing the pilot project before deciding next steps.

“Once the project has been thoroughly evaluated, the results and findings will enable the CRA to determine whether to expand it at a national level,” said Mylene Croteau.

A 2006 survey of 96 hospitality workers, commissioned by the Canada Revenue Agency, found that many were advised by their tax accountants to declare a mere fraction of their real tip income.

The same survey also

reported the workers “do not perceive a real risk of getting caught for improperly reporting tips, as very few of them know or have heard of someone getting audited.”

Statistics Canada says there were about 190,000 food and beverage servers in Canada last year, about 80 per cent of them female.

Many are young and in their first job, often students who later leave the industry. Most report making less than $20,000 a year.

The head of a restaurant group says many serving staff likely would not have to pay any taxes, even were they forced to declare more tip income, because they fall under tax-free thresholds and can access tax credits.

Where does one stand on this issue? Is CRA getting a little too aggressive? Many that are opposed to CRA’s attack on the hospitality industry argue that the majority of workers in the hospitality industry

Tax time can be rewarding for students education amounts and needs $1,000 to bring the tax payable to zero, he or she has $4,000 available for transfer or carry forward. In either case, the student must file a tax return in order for the transfer or carry forward to be recorded.

If you are married or living common-law, you also have the option to transfer the unused portion to your spouse or partner.

Only the student can decide whether to transfer the credit to a parent, grandparent or spouse or carry it forward for future use.

For students receiving scholarships, bursaries and other awards, the income is non-taxable if you qualify for the education credit.

This includes elementary and secondary school scholarships.

For students studying abroad, the government reduced the number of

weeks required to claim tuition and other student credits. Now an overseas program needs to be at least three weeks in length rather than 13 weeks.

And there are some expenses students can claim on their taxes.

Moving expenses to take a summer job can be deducted against your income from that job. The Public Transit Amount also offers a tax credit if you take public transit regularly to get to school. Transit passes of a month or longer are eligible for the credit and the government recently expanded the tax credit to include weekly passes purchased for four consecutive weeks and electronic payment cards.

But remember, you need to keep your old passes or receipts in order to claim the credit.

University and college students are usually overwhelmed by

paperwork at the beginning of each semester but keeping accurate records and all government slips is extremely important.

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

All full- and part-time students receive a T2202A form for the total tuition fees paid for the year.

This form also allows fulltime students to claim an education amount of $400 per month while parttimers are allowed $120 per month. Hang on to your T2202A – without it, you cannot claim tuition and education amounts.

Students are also eligible for the Textbook Tax Credit. The credit is $65 for every month the student qualifies for the education amount. Parttime students can claim $20 per qualifying month.

The credit does not depend on how many textbooks you purchase – it is standard for every student who qualifies.

Students who do not need to use the full amount of their credits to reduce their tax payable to zero must decide whether to transfer the unused portion to a parent or grandparent or carry it forward to claim themselves in future years.

For example, if a student has $5,000 of tuition and

earn very low wages, are usually students and should be given a break; after all, they are working to pay for their education.

NEWS Forestry workers host forums to address crisis in B.C. forests

BC’s unionized forest workers are inviting forest communities to join them in a series of town hall meetings around the province to address the crisis in B.C. forests.

Whether it’s the devastation caused by the mountain pine beetle or raw log exports, forest communities have been hit hard over the last decade, and it’s critical we come together to address not only the problems in our forest sector but solutions as well,” said Jim Britton vice-president, Western Region, of the Communication, Energy and Paperworker’s Union in a press release this week.

“Years of government staffing cuts, deregulation and mis-

management have created a crisis in BC’s forests,” said Darryl Walker, president of the B.C. Government and Service Employees’ Union (BCGEU).

“British Columbians deserve to know their forests are being managed sustainably and in the public interestmaintaining forestsector jobs, while preserving ecosystems.

We need to work together to demand that government invest in research, reforestation, and compliance and enforcement to ensure healthy forests today, and in the future.”

“Over the last decade, viable mills were shutdown while raw log exports grew dramatically,” added Steve Hunt, Western

REALTOR TIPS Tips on how to sell fast for top dollar 1. Before setting a price – do your homework. If you start too high you run the risk of having your home exposed to the market too long, buyers may think there is something wrong with it, and avoid interest in a showing. If you price too low you stand the chance of selling for less than you were hoping for.

2. When choosing a realtor keep in mind that not all Realtors are the same! Be wary of quotes that are too low as those that are too high. Weigh your decision on someone that you can trust and feel confident they will do a good job on your behalf.

3. Appearance does matter – it is so critical to create an emotional look and feel of your home to prospective buyers, they will react on to what they see and smell.

4. Disclose everything – be proactive in disclosing all known defects. Disclosing issues gives the buyer a sense of honesty, and reduce the risk of liability or law suit later on.

5. Keep emotions in check during negotiations. Treat the offer using a business-like manner, especially if you receive a low offer, don’t take it personally and try to think of it as merely a starting point. You can counter a low offer even if it’s just under asking price; this lets the buyer know that you would like to work with them, but they need to adjust their price considerably.

Where to go, what to do.

Free skate and swims for Family Day noon.

Free recreational swimming runs from 12 p.m. noon to 1:30 p.m. followed by the everyone welcome swim from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m.

The iceberg will be in the pool from 1:30

to 3:30 p.m.

Don’t forget there are also lots of outdoor activities to enjoy around Williams Lake on Family Day – cross country skiing at Bull Mountain, downhill skiing at Mount Timothy and perhaps just

a quiet walk around Scout Island.

In announcing Family Day, Victoria encouraged families to spend the day together enjoying local activities.

That would also include enjoying the

great outdoors and, depending on the weather, maybe partaking in some winter fun.

Skiing, snowshoeing, and sledding are great ways to get outside and spend time with those you love.

Valentine sleigh rides happening Sunday The Cariboo Driving and Draft Horse Club is again hosting its annual Valentine’s Ride on Sunday, Feb. 10 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

It will be at the end of Anderson Road, five kilometres up Dog Creek Road on the left. Rides are by donation, and as usual there will be a concession provided by the club.

“We hope this year to have four teams, and two single horses, pulling sleighs through the beautiful snowy scenery,” says Eileen Alberton.

“Come, bring your sweetheart, or your family, and enjoy the day with us!”

For more information, call 250-3927537.

And rememberthere’s often good snow there even if there is not in town!

Family bird count The Williams Lake Field Naturalists and Young Naturalists Club is inviting families to join them this month in supporting

Cornell University’s 16th annual backyard bird count.

“This free outdoor event is open to all families and it’ll be an exciting way to help create a real-time snapshot of where the birds are around the world,” says nature centre co-ordinator Jenny Noble.

The event takes place Saturday, Feb. 16 from 1 to 3 p.m. at the Scout Island Nature Centre.

Bird expert Cathy Koot will lead a bird walk and observe birds at the feeder with participants and environmental educator Julianne Trelenberg.

Data collected will be added to Cornell University’s international checklist.

After the walk participants will participate in an origami craft to explore bird beak size and function.

All families are welcome. Children need to bring an adult.

Sinclair also called on Christy Clark to apologize to the hundreds of qualified Canadians who applied for, and were unfairly

rejected for these jobs.

Sinclair said that the Minister and the Premier’s uninformed comments about the nature of the work and repeated insistence that the work was so specialized it could only be done by workers for HD’s Chinese operations showed a deep lack of respect for British Columbians and their skills.

What is the meaning of wellness?

Is it just the absence of disease?

What is a holistic approach to optimum health?

Wellness is a healthy balance of the mind, body and spirit that results in an overall feeling of well-being. There are many factors that contribute to wellness. Nutrition, exercise, attitude, music, meditation, self esteem, stress and spirituality are just some examples. Hence the term “holistic approach to wellness” is becoming more and more popular.

People are recognizing the importance of having a well balanced life. Research has shown that wellness has a direct effect on the quality of life, and can increase productivity in the workplace as well. It also helps us manage our stress, rather than our stress managing us! Creating and maintaining wellness with our surroundings is always an ongoing challenge. However, one that is well worth it and the payoff is great.

Managing our stress well has an impact of all aspects of our lives, be it physical, personal or professional.

Stress can weaken our immune systems, therefore, helping with the onset of a condition, disease, or illness.

Attitude and spirituality also play an important role in our well-being. We all go through life with its highs and lows, but it is our attitude that can boost or weaken our immune system. Making conscious choices in life and taking

responsibility for our actions, all help us to become stronger and healthier individuals. Connecting with the ones you love, building healthy relationships, and continually help others is key to the path of wellness.

Having an overall, well balanced life can also improve our immune system greatly and will help us to stay grounded in the face of challenges, difficulties or health related issues.

The question is, how do we create and maintain this balance and wellness in our lives? The answer is rather simple. By paying attention to the factors mentioned above that impact our health and wellness. This does not happen overnight but have patience and perseverance! This will help us to enjoy a greater quality of life ~ one that is balanced.

The best way to select a spa, massage or holistic session is to ask at the time of booking, about its specific benefits. These could include relaxation, stress release, detoxification, increased circulation, immune system stimulation, ease aches and pains, etc.

YOU are worth it!

When was the last time you pampered yourself?

Spa in your home He said, she did, the February winter blues, cold, dark, wet. We know these times, when winter is still here, the spring behind third or even fourth door still in waiting and the light in the tunnel seems to be so far. Yeah open the fridge and look for something what might make you feel better. And for a moment it does. Aaah it tastes so good. But then the relief is gone and everything what was is back and plus. And how and what we feel is staring at us from the mirror and we don’t like it. But wait, there is a way.

We don’t need to wait for more sun, warmer weather to do it for us. We can do it ourselves.

One of the awesome wake up remedy for yourselves is a water therapy. And the good news is that we don’t have to go anywhere, we can make a spa in our own home bathroom and doesn’t cost us anything.

This procedure is not one time try.

If you want to have a result in better health, start practicing at least 3 times a week. You will want to do it every day, when you see how it affects your well being, your energy level and improve your health.

In the morning, get up 10 minutes earlier to have time for the morning procedure. If you exercise, do it after, but before breakfast. Start with dry brushing the whole body before the shower. Dry brushing was recommended and perfected by Finnish doctor Paavo Airola. Using soft natural fiber brush with long handle to be able to reach all the parts of the body, or loofah sponge, you start at your toes with small strokes up towards your heart. In front, on the sides, in the back of your legs. Brush your skin all over going upwards.

When you have you legs done, put your hands up and then go from your fingers down all around your hands, arms shoulders toward the heart.

From your shoulders down on the chest, up you abdomen and in the back from the buttock up as far as you can reach. The lymphatic system is stimulated, all nerve endings are

woken up and the circulation is greatly improved. Then turn on the shower, and wash the scrubbed skin off with nice hot water. Now there is the next important step. Switch the hot water to cold and start with the stream of cold water over your right outer leg from the toes up to your hip, then the inner leg. Switch to the left outer leg then inner left leg. Now right arm from the finger tips to the shoulder outer and inner, same with the left arm and then the whole body.

Switch back to hot straight on your torso, warm yourself up, and do it again 2 – 3 times, as you wish but always finish with the cold water.

The reason for this is that the heart has to be the last to hit by cold water and first with hot water. The veins are closed in limbs, the blood is forced to the heart and then the heart gets nice massage. All vessels will relax after such gymnastics and will be more flexible. Quickly dry yourself with hard towel. The skin will love it and you feel great!!!!. And then with the new hairdo, new colors, or just perfect fitting sweater, you will feel like a million bucks.

Is it hard to get the cold water over you? Practice. You can start with legs only and as you feel more comfortable go higher and higher with the cold water. You have to make sure, that you are warm, not get chill wile stepping out the bathtub.

Immediately dry yourself with hard towel and it will warm you up. You will not regret it. Only if you have flu, running nose, or feel out of sort, don’t do it. Dry brush is excellent at any time – best is in the morning, but start with the hot, cold shower, when you are free of any sluggishness.

Kneipp hydrotherapy is an excellent source of information, how to utilize healing power of water right at you home. Watch for classes for Hydrotherapy at Home in month of March.

The Heart and Stroke Foundation’s 2013 Report on the Health of Canadians titled Reality Check warns that without immediate action, baby boomers may spend their last years in sickness, disability and immobility.

Although Canadians are living longer, according to Statistics Canada, on average, there’s a 10year gap between how long we live, and how long we live in health.

This gap is mainly due to heart disease, stroke and other chronic conditions.

A new Heart and Stroke Foundation poll found that while almost 80 per cent of Canadian boomers think their doctors would rate them as healthy, their self-reported lifestyle choices show otherwise.

A huge majority of boomers reported not eating enough vegetables and fruit (85 per cent), more than 40 per cent are not getting enough physical activity each week, one in five (21 per cent) smoke, and one in 10 (11 per cent) are heavy drinkers. While the large

majority of boomers said they feel stressed at least sometimes, almost 30 per cent flag they are often or always stressed.

Despite these lifestyle habits, more than a quarter of Canadian baby boomers don’t feel concerned about how healthy they will be later in life. And a shocking three quarters (74 per cent) don’t know that they can reduce their risk of heart disease and stroke by up to 80 per cent with lifestyle modifications.

“The lifestyle choices that Canadian boomers are making directly contribute to living the last 10 years of their lives in sickness. This should cause boomers a lot of concern,” says Heart and Stroke Foundation spokesperson Dr. Beth Abramson. “The good news is that if lifestyle changes are made now, many Canadians can considerably reduce the effects of heart disease and stroke. It is possible for us to take charge of our heart health, reduce hospitalizations and im-

mobility, significantly improving the quality of our lives.”

Brian Campkin knows first-hand what it feels like to have a close call.

Six years ago, at the age of 46, after feeling terrible shortness of breath on the tennis court, Brian was diagnosed with blocked arteries and underwent life-saving triple bypass surgery.

“I was stopped in my tracks. Literally. I had to face the fact that I wasn’t healthy – and that was a shock, but it really shouldn’t have been,” says Campkin. “I didn’t take care of myself and I was a slave to some of life’s common stressors.

I put everything else in my life before my health.

I actually set myself on a path to sickness.”

Since then, Brian has made it his mission to turn his life around.

“I’ve taken control of my health and made a lot of healthy choices like changing my diet, so I can have the quality life I want in the future. I’ve lost 20 pounds and feel better than ever,” Camp-

kin adds.

Canadian boomers are planning full lives for their later years.

The survey showed 61 per cent feel the quality of the time they spend living is more important than the length of time.

Half of boomers (54 per cent) want to travel and be active around the house, 38 per cent want to be involved grandparents, 36 per cent want to take up a new hobby and a quarter (27 per cent) would like to winter somewhere warm and sunny.

“We typically think teenagers are the ones who live like they’re invincible, but boomers seem to forget their mortality too,” says David Sculthorpe, CEO, Heart and Stroke Foundation, Canada. “In order to take full advantage of life and Make Health Last, Canadians need to take action – it’s their time to decide if they’ll grow old with vitality, or get old with disease.”

“In a lot of cases this is a personal journey for Canadians, but it’s also

Nine in 10 Canadians already have at least one risk factor for heart disease and stroke and nearly four in 10 have three or more risk factors. Approximately 1.3 million Canadians are currently living with the effects of heart disease, and 315,000 are living with the effects of stroke, including increased hospitalization and decreased mobility.

In fact, heart disease and stroke is the leading cause of hospitalization in Canada, resulting in 1,000 hospital visits each day.

In 2010, the US government created more debt than the total of all the debt created in its history.

In other words the US (and many western countries) are on the verge of a financial collapse … so says Martenson.

Is he right? -- the question to be debated in the discussion period. Martenson weaves together the 3 E’s (economics, environment, and energy) into a narrative describing the unique reasons why the future that we are headed towards is unlike anything we’ve seen in our lifetime.

Using numerous graphs and charts he explains the historical context of our current situation and what we can do as individuals and as communities.

Highly recommended, this is a must see film.

Celebrate BC’s first Family Day Monday Feb 11 Eat together

n Family Day is the ideal time to bring your family ‘back to the table’. Given the increasingly busy schedule of every member of the family, eating together has been a casualty of our hectic days.

Whether you’re together in your home, on a mini-vacation or enjoying a local restaurant, there are numerous benefits to eating together.

Sharing a table means sharing your day, sharing your undivided attention and sharing conversation. It is a chance to give extra attention to your children and teens.

Family meals foster warmth, security and love, as well as a sense of belonging.

The way that you act at the table becomes a model for your children. They learn from your appreciation of the meal and your social skills - especially when outside the home. Table manners are social skills and leading by example makes it easier for parents to teach without lecturing.

Using family meals as a way to sample new menus can be both fun and a great learning experience. By giving family members input and the opportunity to choose the menu, it becomes an ideal way to expand their horizons on a wider range of foods and cultures. It also can lead to healthier choices as well as developing an open mind for experiencing new things.

A way to get more out of a family meal is to engage the family in menu selection, shopping and preparation.

You can begin this at a very young age giving children age-appropriate tasks like stirring ingredients, washing vegetables, tearing lettuce and setting the table. As your children grow they can take on more key responsibilities and the pride that comes with preparing a special family meal. This teaches your children cooking skills, nutri nutrition and appreciation for the effort of meal preparation.

It can also provide a great source of accomplishment and sense of self-sufficiency.

Plan to make your Family Day special by including all those who make up your family. Pay tribute by making your meal special and so memorable you’ll want to ensure you do it more often.

Explore together n There is no better province to explore than British Columbia and no better family bonding experience than sharing the thrill of a new discovery or experience. Day trips can create remarkable family memories. They offer a wonderful way to spend time together and learn more about where you live.

The variety of experiences available to families is different in each region of this spectacular province - you might decide to explore close to home or venture to one of the other regions in B.C. over the Family Day weekend.

Whether taking SkyTrain, BC Ferries, driving, or hopping a flight, there are many ways to invest in a day of discovery. Travel is just one aspect. To maximize the experience families should involve everyone in the planning.

By planning ahead you and your whole family can experience a worthwhile outing and make every aspect fun.

Create a list of activities or venues and assign a rough budget for each. Allow family members to weigh in on their preferences and discuss what they would like to see, do or learn at each.

You might decide to stay in a hotel and be a tourist in your own hometown. Kids or youth can map out the sites and activities, creating a family agenda including selecting the points of interest, lunch and shopping as well as enjoying the amenities your hotel might offer. It’s the perfect way to free up everyone from everyday tasks and roles.

Researching history, attractions, museums, parks and markets can teach valuable lessons and it helps children to plan within a budget. This way they are part of making important decisions, appreciate both the effort and cost of outings and will be more enthused about an agenda they helped develop.

Be sure to capture your family time by taking photos, saving literature or purchasing a memento. This can lead to great family discussions about what each individual enjoyed or learned and starts you planning for future family explorations.

Create together n One of my favourite memories was creating an enormous piñata in preparation for a multi-family holiday. We blew up a huge bouncy ball and covered it with papier mache. Our children and those of our friends were young so after my young sons painted the ball white, I drew a score of cartoon characters, shapes and funny animals all around it.

Filled with ageappropriate, small toys, puzzles and treats, the big white ball became a major activity for everyone in our threefamily group. Every age took turns colouring in the shapes through-out the day, knowing when it was completed the ball would be strung up. The anticipation and excitement was heightened because the reward came with activity and was not immediate.

Creating something as a family can mark an important time in your family history. It captures the age and ability of your children, your interests and a point in time.

By working together on a project your family can develop new skills, collaborate on something truly memorable and enjoy what each family member brings to the endeavor.

Think about all the things a family could create together – a family album complete with stories, mementos and funny or poignant memories. Your family might be old enough to handle something more ambitious like preparing a garden, building a dog house or designing and painting a family recreation area in your home.

Technology puts an amazing array of tools in the hands of today’s families. You can plan, write, film and edit a movie with your everyday computer and smartphone technology and software. Even more fun is sharing your family creation with friends around the world.

You might even suggest a film festival by inviting families to create their own film and have a “popcorn premiere” to show them all.

Searching online will uncover an astounding number of crafts and projects you could tackle as a family. It can be as simple as building and flying a kite. Or you may look for something you can recycle or repurpose into a creative new item – whether a work of art or function. It’s bound to make your family members proud environment stewards as well as treasuring your time and project as a family.

Cook together ing to make something you’ve never made before, or perhaps you want to try out a new cuisine.

Hitting the library or the web will give you ideas for new recipes, whether it’s trying to duplicate your favourite takeout pizza or make an authentic spicy Indian dish. Let each member of the family choose a recipe that they want to try, whether it’s for breakfast, lunch, dinner or a snack. That way everyone gets involved and has their say in what the family eats.

Maybe you’ll find a new favourite food or discover that your child is aiming to become the next Mario Batali or Julia Child.

12:00pm - 1:30pm Your local grocery store is sure to have a wide selection of ingredients that you may never have tasted before. Wandering the aisles may even spark your imagination.

Learning about what goes into a dish will set your family on the road to healthy eating. Taking a 1:30pm - 3:30pm few minutes to read the labels on a food item will demonstrate The iceberg will be how to make healthy choices and taking over the pool help your children in the future.

Finding healthy alternatives to not-so-healthy foods can be a Thank you to the provincial government for providing fun experiment, and funding may end up being tastier than the original food. for the Family Day Celebration Many stores will have sections devoted to healthier options, whether they’re gluten-free or just lower in calories. n If you ask any adult about some of their favourite memories of childhood, you will invariably hear something related to food.

Whether it’s baking with Grandma or grilling hamburgers for a cookout with Dad, cooking is always an important part of growing up.

Family Day is a great time to dig out those family cookbooks and 10:30am 12:00pm try a recipe– handed down by the older generation. Your mom’s famous meatloaf or your uncle’s recipe for spinach dip are great things to try with family members of all ages.

Family Day 2013

Share together

n Bringing together your extended family can create a highly memorable and valuable life event. They say “it takes a village to raise a child” and many would agree especially in today’s world of working parents and latchkey kids. The support, experience and interest of your extended family can have a significant impact on your immediate family. Regardless of your definition of ‘extended’ family, bring-ing together those with whom you share history with can have lasting benefits not just for you and your children but for those you invite to share your day.

It is common in today’s world to have older children in nuclear families reach their teens before meeting extended family members.

Geographical isolation is common for middleclass families who move based on occupational opportunities while family branches retain their independence.

Family Day is the ideal occasion to hold family reunions to re-establish and integrate a stronger family connection.

This allows your children to connect with extended family members and to share a better sense of their heritage and belonging.

Don’t forget to include senior members of your family. Family reunions and relationships inspire seniors to stay active and pursue their well-being. Studies have found seniors feel revitalized when they spend time with families.

Your children will benefit from hearing their oral history and that’s an inspiring experience that won’t always be available to them.

Another way to celebrate Family Day is to gather your extended family and friends around something you care about. It might be a shore clean-up, a family walk or a garage sale.

You might volunteer at a foodbank. Food is often central to gatherings and with everyone contributing to a family meal afterwards, it becomes a great way to share B.C.’s first Family Day.
