Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo MP Cathy McLeod recently launched a drive to recognize Korean War Veterans in her riding.

McLeod says her government is honoured to mark 2013 as the Year of the Korean War Veteran.

“It is our duty to pay tribute to more than 26,000 Canadian men and women in uniform who came to the aid of the South Koreans during the Korean War, and in particular, the 516 Canadians who gave their lives in service to defend the values of peace and freedom on the Korean Peninsula.”

This July, Canada Cathy will celebrate MCLeod the 60th anniversary of the signing of the armistice that led to the conclusion of combat on the Korean Peninsula.

Canada’s military contributions to this war are remarkable and should never be forgotten, McLeod says, adding Canadian Veterans who served in this horrible conflict should be remembered for their remarkable military contribution.

“Korean War Veterans have respectfully commemorated the sacrifices of so many of their fellow Canadians.

This year, our nation will pay special tribute to their sacrifices.

“I would appreciate if everyone would consider submitting their stories or identify members of our community who fought in the Korean War so they can be recognized.”

Nominations can be received by phone at 250-851-4991, e-mail to cathy.mcleod.c1@parl.gc.ca, or mailed postage free to Cathy McLeod MP, 979 Victoria St.; Kamloops, B.C.; V2C 2C1.

Report calls Kitimat refinery viable

By Tom Fletcher Black Press

The B.C. Liberal government has released its own independent report on a proposed heavy oil refinery near Kitimat, which concludes the project has “economic merit.”

The report, by California-based Navigant Consulting Inc., examined the proposed refinery design and also assessed markets for refined fuels in Asia.

“Such a refinery would provide incremental long-term benefits to the region,

compared to export of unfinished feedstock,” the report states.

The consultants recommend that British Columbia approve a design for the plant that produces a variety of fuels, including gasoline, diesel and jet fuel.

The report endorses a conventional design for the refinery, proposed

by Victoria newspaper publisher David Black last summer.

Black, owner of Black Press Ltd., established a separate company called Kitimat Clean Ltd. last year. In early March, Black announced he is finalizing details for $25 billion in financing and

refinery would require another $9 billion in construction, including six product pipelines to Douglas Channel to load ships with refined fuel, and a natural gas pipeline to run a power plant, fire-refining equipment and supply hydrogen for a new heavy oil refining process.

Energy Minister Rich Coleman said the Navigant report cost $40,000, and would be done by the province

for any proposal of this scale, through the province’s major projects office. If built as planned, the Kitimat refinery would be the biggest private investment in B.C. history.

The Navigant report describes a conventional coking process that extracts a coal-like byproduct from heavy oil. Black announced March 6 that his team is revising its environmental permit application to use a new process that

would convert the coke and increase liquid fuel output.

A conventional refinery of that size would fill 100 rail cars per day with petroleum coke, which is typically sold as fuel for hightemperature metal processing.

A process patented last year by Calgarybased Expander Energy adapts a technique developed a century ago in Germany to convert coal to synthetic fuels.

Meeting the needs of seniors MLA REPORT Donna Barnett

Recently, our government introduced legislation for the creation of a new Seniors Advocate.

This was one of the promises made in the Seniors Action Plan, which our government

wrote in February 2012.

British Columbia will be the first province in Canada to have a Seniors Advocate.

Seniors need a strong voice that will ensure that their needs are met, and the Seniors Advocate will look after seniors’ needs in important areas like healthcare, personal care, transportation, housing, and income support. The Seniors Advocate will examine any issues related to services for seniors and make recommendations for changes to

policies and procedures.

The new Seniors Advocate will have a great deal of autonomy, and will be able to choose his or her own work priorities.

As a statutory officer appointed by Order in Council, the Seniors Advocate will function much like the provincial health officer, the auditor general for local government, or the comptroller general.

The creation of the Seniors Advocate is just one of the many ways our government is looking out for seniors.

Another recent initiative is the Elder Abuse Prevention Strategy, which was announced recently by Minister of State for Seniors Ralph Sultan.

This strategy works to protect seniors from all forms of abuse, committing almost $1 million to initiatives: expanding the Seniors Abuse and Information Line (1-866-437-1940); creating information kits to help community groups and service providers identify and report abuse; and creating a multi-sector

Council to Reduce Elder Abuse.

Our government is making sure the needs of seniors are met.

In Williams Lake, I’ve been trying to do my part as well, and I’m happy to say that last year Williams Lake opened a DriveABLE service, which allows older citizens to complete the assessment close to home. We know the importance of providing seniors with services tailored their needs, and we will continue to make sure they get exactly that.

NDP wants wider ethnic outreach probe

By Tom Fletcher Black Press

An investigation by four deputy ministers into a planned ethnic outreach program with ties to the B.C. Liberal Party doesn’t go far enough, NDP MLAs say.

In the last question period of the legislature session before the election campaign, NDP critics demanded an outside review of the plan to organize ethnic events and hire contractors who would assemble lists for use by the BC Liberal Party.

NDP house leader John Horgan said the internal review didn’t have authority to interview B.C. Liberal Party campaign manager Mike McDonald, who

was Premier Christy Clark’s chief of staff when the strategy was developed.

“What we have here is the Liberal caucus, the premier’s office, a minister of the Crown and a senior communications director using their offices day after day after day to collect information from citizens and transmit it to the BC Liberal Party,” Horgan told reporters.

“And nobody seems to be concerned about that in this government.”

Cabinet minister Bill Bennett led the B.C. Liberal counter-attack in question period, referring to a recently unveiled system of deducting $202 per month from each NDP constituency office to fund political activities

by the NDP caucus and hire an ethnic outreach contractor.

The program diverted more than $500,000 for purposes that Auditor General John Doyle determined were partisan activities, from 2005 to 2010. They included

payments to hide budget overruns on NDP caucus activities.

“We have all apologized for the mistakes that were made,” Bennett said. “On the other hand, the NDP have been caught with their hand in the cookie jar.”

IHA provides overview Following is a highlight from the Cariboo Regional District board meeting in Williams Lake on March 1.

SPCA wants to make your pet a star The BC SPCA has kicked off its 2013 Animal Lovers’ calendar contest, which is a chance for people’s pets to win one of 12 coveted spots in the non-profit society’s popular annual calendar.

“We all know that our pets are beautiful and the Animal Lovers’ calendar contest is an opportunity to show them off while helping British Columbia’s most vulnerable, at-risk animals at the same time,” says Lorie Chortyk, the society’s community relations general manager.

It costs $10 to enter the fundraising contest, and regis-

tration and easy. Between March 20 and April 19, guardians simply visit spca.bc.ca/

calendarcontest and follow the online process. They will be guided through a series of steps to upload a photo, tell a heart-warming story about their pet and customize a contest webpage that other visitors can vote for their pet. Each vote costs $1, and visitors can vote as often as they like for their favourite animal.

“People can easily multiply their votes by asking friends and family members to vote for their pet, and they’re encouraged to promote their pet even further through social media avenues, such as Facebook and Twitter.”

Once a pet goes viral, says Chortyk, there’s no limit to the number of votes that could be cast.

The 12 animals with the most votes at noon on April 19 will win a coveted spot in the calendar. An additional 10 animals judged to have the most compelling stories and photos will each win a special BC SPCA goody bag with items from the Shop BC SPCA online store.

The Animal Lovers’ Calendar is given as a gift to supporters every year, and will also available for sale at branches and online in September.

Japanese offer funds for tsunami cleanup

On March 13, federal Environment Minister Peter Kent accepted a one-time grant of approximately $1 million from the Japan government to support clean-up work associated with debris from the March 2011 Japanese tsunami.

It was also announced this funding would be transferred to and administered by the British Columbia environment ministry.

“The Government of Canada is committed to co-operating with provinces, territories and other stakeholders to protect Canada’s fresh water and coastal

waters,” Kent said.

“We gratefully accept Japan’s offer and will continue to work collaboratively to address the unique local challenge of tsunami debris.”

The funding will be directed toward activities in the following areas: • Support for coastal communities and First Nations with debris planning, management and clean-up effort.

• Shoreline monitoring, removal and disposal of large objects of tsunami origin.

• Training and education about tsunami debris identification

and disposal.

• Support toward tsunami debris cleanup efforts in coastal provincial and federal parks.

Oversight for the funding will be provided through the FederalProvincial Tsunami Debris Co-ordinating Committee (TDCC).

The TDCC works with local governments, the volunteer sector, the United States National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), and California, Oregon and Washington to develop a co-ordinated response to tsunami debris on

Seniors less aware of food risks

(NC) – Most people have some knowledge about simple food safety practices; however, adults aged 60 and over may not realize they are more susceptible to developing complications relating to food-borne illness.

As we age, it becomes harder for our immune system to fight off harmful bacteria and viruses.

Older adults produce less of the stomach acid that kills harmful bacteria, which makes it easier for them to get sick. Sensory loss (sight, smell and taste) and chronic diseases, such as diabetes and kidney disease, also increase the risk of complications for people in this age group.

While most people who become ill from eating contaminated food recover completely, serious long-term health problems, such as kidney failure and anemia, are more common in older adults.

This is why it is so important for adults aged 60 and over, and those who prepare food for older adults, to be smart when it comes to food safety.

Health Canada’s guide Safe Food Handling for Adults Aged 60 and Over offers these tips: • Avoid high-risk foods, such as raw seafood, non-dried deli meats and unpasteurized products. A list of foods to avoid and safer alternatives is available at www.healthycanadi ans.gc.ca/foodsafety.

• Clean your hands after handling raw meat, using the bathroom, petting animals or changing diapers.

Wash all kitchen surfaces, cutting boards and reusable grocery bags frequently with warm soapy water.

• Prevent crosscontamination by separating raw meat, poultry and fish from ready-to-eat foods in your grocery cart, grocery bags and at home in the refrigerator.

• Cook meat, poultry and fish to a safe inter-

nal temperature. Get into the habit of using a digital food thermometer to check.

• Chill leftovers within two hours to stop bacteria in the food from multiplying to unsafe levels.

• Don’t try to judge the safety of food by its smell or taste. If in doubt, throw it out!

Adults aged 60 and over are one of four groups identified by Health Canada as being at greater risk for

food-borne illness. The other three groups are children aged five and under, pregnant women and people with a weakened immune system.

More information to help older adults reduce their risk of food-borne illness is available on the website.

You can also download or order a copy of Safe Food Handling for Adults Aged 60 and Over from the website, or by calling toll-free 1-800-O-Canada.

Pacific salmon designated B.C.’s provincial fish emblem

The Pacific salmon has been designated the official provincial fish emblem to recognize their high ecological, cultural and economic significance to British Columbians.

“With the epic migration of Pacific salmon from B.C.’s rivers and streams to the ocean and back, there is no symbol more iconic of British Columbia,” says Environment Minister Terry Lake.

“Not only is Pacific salmon integral to the culture, well-being and livelihood of B.C.’s First Nations, they are often seen as indicators of overall ecosystem and wildlife health, and important to environmental sustainability.

Pacific salmon are also a significant economic driver in B.C. due to commercial and recreational fisheries.”

The designation of Pacific salmon is limited to seven salmonid species of the genus Oncorhynchus native to B.C. waters – all of which are included under a single overarching symbol. Included in this group are sockeye, Chinook, Coho, pink

and chum salmon, as well as steelhead and cutthroat trout. Using the broader definition of Pacific salmon recognizes not one but seven of these important fish.

“Naming the Pacific salmon as a provincial emblem is much more than a symbolic act,” says Dr. Brian Riddell, president and CEO of the Pacific Salmon Foundation.

“It is a reminder to us all of the tremendous values associated with Pacific salmon in B.C. and that we all have responsibility for conserving and restoring this incredibly important natural resource.

opposed, compared to just 11 per cent who strongly support the new route for crude oil across North-western 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 added, 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. 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, Mossop said.

“Even the negative side recognize the benefits. 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.

The margin of error is plus or minus 4.1 per cent 19 times out of 20.

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, a mountain of responsibility has put pressure on you. Although you cannot shy away from what has to be done, you can smile when tackling your tasks.

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, something special will take place in the next few days and you will be on hand to experience all of it. Magical moments are to be made with a romantic partner.

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, you may want to think before you speak when a friend asks for advice. The truth might hurt, so it could be wise to keep quiet for the time being.

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, a stroke of inspiration leads you on a creative journey. Things will calm down toward the end of the week when you have to focus on more tangible things.

LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, someone you know wants to step things up to another level, but you may not be ready to take that kind of plunge. Talk over your feelings in a kind way.

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, family has been on your mind lately, and you may feel it’s best to spend the majority of your free time at home rather than out. Make good use of your time.

LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, a chance encounter has you rethinking what you want to accomplish in the next few weeks. You are second-guessing all of your plans because of this surprise.

SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22 A decision you made could have long-term effects, Scorpio. You’ll probably find that you have to do some damage control this week to get things back on track.

Justice system modernization continues

British Columbia’s next chapter on justice reform focuses on innovative, front-line operations that will help improve public safety, promote early resolution and give British Columbians alternatives to resolving legal issues in court.

A Timely, Balanced Justice System, part 2 of B.C.’s justice reform white paper, presents 33 commitments that address both public safety and access to justice in administrative, civil, family and criminal law settings. The white paper continues government’s response to senior lawyer Geoffrey Cowper’s independent recommendations and recommendations from the Missing Women Commission of Inquiry.

A draft of the B.C. Policing and Community Safety Plan was also released Feb. 26 to give the public a final opportunity for consultation. When complete, the policing plan will guide the evolution of a modern policing and law enforcement framework for B.C. Findings and strategies from a previous public engagement process are reflected in the policing plan, as well as priorities for change identified from the Missing Women Commission of Inquiry and the Ministry of Justice’s broader justice reform initiative outlined in the two white papers.

The activities listed in the second white paper are a combination of short-term actions the B.C. government is immediately pursuing and longer-term visionary ideas for reforms that guide reforms in the coming years.

The white paper also sets targets for the activities that government has committed to achieving in 2013, including opening a new Justice Access Centre in Victoria; appointing an acting chair for a Civil Resolution Tribunal;

working with the advisory committee on the safety and security of vulnerable women, chaired by Steven Point; and working with stakeholders to consider models of service delivery ranging from further integration to the regional delivery of police services while retaining local community-focused policing.

The white paper will serve as a road map for ongoing, longer-term reform actions and it makes commitments to: • Support the Legal Services Society to expand criminal and family legal aid services.

• Shift traffic ticket disputes out of court to an administrative tribunal.

• Expand existing community-based restorative justice approaches to crime through community accountability programs.

• Continue to work with stakeholders to define policing responsibilities and develop options for funding models.

• Determine whether missing persons’ legislation should be enacted in B.C. • Create standards and protocols for missing persons and other

complex investigations to ensure co-operation and co-ordination among police agencies.

• Examine how services and supports to vulnerable witnesses and victims of crime can be improved.

• Work with communities to expand domestic violence units that bring together police, victim services and child protection workers to ensure an integrated approach to these cases.

• Develop a framework for the establishment of domestic violence and other specialized courts.

Fast Bytes • B.C.’s justice reform activities are intended to address the dilemma that British Columbia, like other jurisdictions, face rising costs and delays, although crime rate is down and there is no increase in case load.

• Government initiated a number of activities beginning in 2011, including writing a green paper that identified system-wide challenges, appointing Geoffrey Cowper to complete an independent review, and releasing a white paper in response to Cowper’s recommendations.

• The province

invests more than $1 billion annually in public safety and the justice system.

Alzheimer Society fighting stigma If a close friend told you she has dementia, would you avoid her for fear of being embarrassed by what she might say or do?

If you answered “yes,” you’re not alone.

According to a recent poll by Alzheimer’s Disease International, 40 per cent of people with dementia reported they had been avoided or treated differently after diagnosis.

It’s no surprise, then, that one in four respondents cited stigma as a reason to conceal their diagnosis, says Tara Hildebrand, the 100 Mile House and Central Interior support and education co-ordinator for the non-profit Alzheimer Society of B.C. However, the society is tackling the issue.

The goal is to address myths about the disease, shift attitudes and make it easier to talk about dementia, says Hildebrand.

“Stereotypes and mis-

information are what prevent people with dementia from getting the help they need and stop others from taking the disease seriously.”

For example, Alzheimer’s disease is more than having the occasional “senior moment” or losing your keys. It is a progressive degenerative brain disorder that affects each person differently, Hildebrand says, adding it is fatal and there is no cure.

“Although one in three Canadians know someone with dementia, it is not discussed as openly as other chronic illnesses, so the prevalence is there, but the conversation isn’t yet and that’s what we hope to address.”

Today, 747,000 Canadians have dementia, including 70,000 British Columbians.

While dementia can affect people as young as 40 years of age, the risk doubles every five

years after 65.

The number of Canadians with dementia is expected to double to 1.4 million in the next 20 years, includ-

ing more than 177,000 British Columbians.

“By talking more openly about dementia, we can all help to increase awareness about the symptoms, encourage earlier diagnosis and provide support for
