The Cariboo Family Enrichment Centre is offering an important workshop, entitled Men, Social Services and Social Change, at Horton Ventures’ community meeting room (808 Alpine Ave. in 100 Mile House) on May 27.

There is no charge for this half-day workshop that runs from 10 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Organizers ask folks to call 250-3955155 or e-mail at cfec@cariboofamily.org to register, so they can plan for the lunch.

The workshop will be presented by David Hatfield.

In recent years, Maclean’s Magazine, Newsweek, The Economist and New Internationalist have all run front-page stories about the need to rethink masculinity.

To meet 21st century challenges, progressive thinking calls for a value set of flexibility, collaboration and emotional intelligence, Hatfield says.

“Yet, for boys and men, we continue to script masculinity as stoicism, competitiveness, invulnerability, individualism and emotional repression. The wellness of boys and men, families and communities is negatively impacted by these persisting social expectations. Clearly, something very different is needed.”

In this half-day workshop, Hatfield says he will share his learning and observations on prevailing Canadian expressions of masculinity and how they pertain to social service and helping professionals.

“This collaborative inquiry will be interactive, dynamic, and experiential and will be shaped in response to the needs and questions of those present.

Hatfield is a leadership consultant and facilitator specializing in masculinity and male identity. He is the Canadian coordinator for International Men’s Day. He holds an M.Ed. in social ecology from the University of Western Sydney in Australia.

GUEST SHOT

Social service agencies are pushing for adequate long-term funding for the vulnerable, and they believe political parties need to commit to improved support for children and youth.

Most British Columbians would say they care about children and not just their own. We’ve agreed, as a society, that when children and youth need help, and their families can’t provide it, it’s up to us.

Sadly, we’re not doing a good enough job. This election campaign is a chance to press for commitments on services for children and youth.

We know effective, timely supports can change lives, and avoid the huge future costs that come when problems are ignored. But, we haven’t acted on that knowledge.

Some families need help developing better parenting skills.

Children might need treatment for behavioural issues. The range of needed services is enormous.

Election issue: health care privatization

By Tom Fletcher Black Press

NDP Leader Adrian Dix has promised to repeal the remainder of Bill 29, the legislation that broke union contracts and allowed contracting out of health support services early in the B.C. Liberal term of government.

Parts of that legislation were struck down in a 2007 ruling by the Supreme Court of Canada, and the government was forced to pay compensation and consult with unions before any further contracting out of services.

In a pre-campaign interview with Guardian, the Hospital Employees’ Union magazine, Dix made no specific commitments.

“We are going to need to improve and strengthen the public role if we are going to continue to provide a high level of service, given the federal cuts that are coming to health care in 2014/15,” Dix told the HEU publication.

They’re not really cuts. After a string of six per cent increases, the growth of healthcare transfers is capped at four per cent starting next year.

After signing a series of “net zero” contracts with various public service unions in the past year, the B.C. Liberals tabled an election budget proposing to hold health spending growth to two per cent this year.

In 2008, the B.C. Liberal government passed amendments to

comply with the court ruling that collective bargaining rights are constitutionally protected. The ruling didn’t reverse pay cuts, but ordered payment of $80 million in compensation and retraining, and required negotiations before any further contracting out of health care jobs.

Judy Darcy, then secretary-business manager of the HEU and now the NDP candidate in New Westminster, said at the time the legislation allowed the government and the union to “move on and build some kind of a partnership.”

Platform highlights: • The B.C. Liberals emphasize their legislative change to allow Licensed Practical

Nurses to leave the HEU and join the B.C. Nurses’ Union. The party wants to “partner with hospice societies” to double the number of hospice beds by 2020.

• The B.C. NDP distances itself from public-private partnerships to build and run hospitals. It promises to “accelerate” Surrey Memorial Hospital’s critical care expansion “as a public project,” and Dix has said 30-year contracts are too long for healthcare facilities.

• The B.C. Conservative platform criticizes the B.C. Liberals for spending less than the national average on health care, and for raising Medical Services Plan premiums. Party Leader John

Cummins has joined the B.C. Liberals and NDP in promising an expansion for the 63-year-old Penticton Regional Hospital.

• The B.C. Green Party platform promises to “support development of co-ops and social enterprises for the provision of community-based health, social and education services.”

It also wants to expand MSP coverage for chiropractic, physiotherapy, eye exams and massage therapy, and impose a junk food tax.

ed and will have the opportunity to correct the mistakes on their next PST return.

If the business doesn’t correct the errors noted in the review and undergoes a future audit, the errors would be subject to an assessment, plus any applicable penalties and interest.

Businesses with no prior PST experience and small to medium businesses would benefit most from this service, although it is available to all businesses operating in British Columbia. Government will try to reach as many businesses as possible to promote voluntary compliance with the PST. For more information or to complete the online registration form to request an appointment, visit www.gov. bc.ca/pstoutreach. If

you have any difficulties registering online, call toll-free at 1-877-3884440.

This outreach program replaces the one-on-one consultations with a PST specialist.

PST accounting, reporting review available for business

Businesses can sign up to have a government Provincial Sales Tax (PST) specialist review their accounting and reporting systems to ensure their systems are properly set up to comply with PST laws.

The PST education program is a general review of a business’ accounts and systems to ensure they are set up correctly to collect, report, remit and pay the PST. It is not a records or transactional review; however, a small sample of invoices may be used to help with the system review.

The education program is not an audit, so businesses won’t be issued a tax assessment for any errors noted. If the PST hasn’t been correctly paid, collected, or remitted, the business will be advised of the corrective actions need-

MORE FREE TICKETS TO BE WON! WEEK OF MAY 12 TO MAY 18, 2013 ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, something irresistible keeps grabbing your attention. Don’t overindulge too much or you will regret the decision later on. Exercise moderation.

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, you may be tempted to run away from a challenging situation, but it is in your best interest to hunker down and face the problem. You won’t be going it alone.

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, you seem to quickly conquer tasks that others struggle with. It could be thanks to your ability to focus, but look over your work to make sure it’s correct.

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, while many things come easily to you, there is one particular situation that continually proves problematic. You might have to scale a few mountains to handle it.

LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, this week you might be better off tackling things on your own instead of looking to others for support. This will help minimize any potential distractions.

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 You have a few secrets you are not willing to share just yet, Virgo. That’s alright.

Keeping some of your agenda private will inspire curiosity and be to your advantage.

LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, you may be trying to get a certain person alone so you can have some oneon-one time together. A rendezvous is possible this week.

SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, you are at an impasse because you are second-guessing some of your most recent decisions. You may need to shift your focus to get back on track.

Around the South Cariboo Natalie, left, Aaron and Hadleigh McGinnis enjoyed the Third Annual Welcome Baby Party and baby clothing swap at the 100 Mile Community Hall on April 27.

The event, which is sponsored

by Child Care Resource & Referral and Success by 6, is growing in popularity every year.

The local Special Olympics team swung into golf season at the Marmot Ridge on May 7 with style, thanks to a $1,000 cheque that TIMBER MART manager Ralph Myhill-Jones, back right, presented to golf coach Pat Oldershaw and the rest of the group. The local store’s donation was matched by the corporate Timbrkids Foundation, and will cover costs for these athletes to travel to the B.C. Summer Games in Langley in July.

This money will help fund two new murals to be painted on the South Cariboo Theatre building, where a current one can bee seen in the background.

B.C.’s future hinges on next premier’s resource sector plans

As voters prepare to head to the polls, the BC Chamber of Commerce (BCCC) is reminding British Columbians that B.C.’s economic future hinges on how well the next premier manages the province’s resourcebased economy.

“There’s a popular but mistaken belief out there that B.C.’s wealth

is rooted in sectors, such as ecotourism and film,” says John Winter, the BCCC president and CEO. “While every business sector contributes to our prosperity, B.C.’s resource industries remain the cornerstone of our economy – and a crucial factor behind British Columbians’ enviable standard of

living.”

Tax dollars flowing from B.C.’s resource industries are a critical source of funding for B.C.’s hospitals, schools and social programs, Winter explains. He notes these industries also support highpaying jobs for British Columbians, which, in turn, fuel B.C.’s consumer economy.

Pennicott brings energy, experience to Relay for Life

By Jennifer Raifteiri-McArdle As a volunteer at last year’s Relay for Life and cancer survivor, it seemed only natural Shannon Pennicott would join this year’s committee.

“I wanted to be a bigger part of it and bring about some changes,” says Pennicott.

Although she does not have a specific job title on the committee, her enthusiasm and unique perspective have made her an invaluable member of the team.

This year, Pennicott says she is mainly a “gopher” and just getting her feet wet, bringing new ideas and doing various jobs as they come up.

“I really like the enthusiasm and how the group works together,” she says, adding everyone is very accepting and respectful of each other’s opinions and ideas.

There is a real shift this year to move away from being a closed day with team events and going back to a community event where everyone can come to Centennial Park on June 8 to participate and have fun.

All the while, they will be continuing to raise awareness of what the cancer society does. The public is invited to come down and enjoy the music and activities running

all day, says importance Pennicott. of the cancer “You realize society and when you have how much you been affected by need it. You it how much it know there’s becomes a part a group there of your world for you and SHANNON that you weren’t PENNICOTT that’s what I involved in want to help before. bring to peo“You realize the ple – you’re not alone.”

The BCCC is concerned that, apart from some discussions about pipelines, B.C.’s political parties have kept virtually silent about their near-term plans for B.C.’s resource industries, Winter says, adding the BCCC calls on parties to clarify their plans for these industries before voters go to the polls next week.

“It’s great to see support for developing LNG (liquefied natural gas) in B.C., but the BC Chamber of Commerce cautions voters that this is a long-range plan.

“Voters will need to decide which party will steward B.C.’s resource industries forward in the near term by eliminating valueless bureaucratic backlogs and taking a ‘getting-to-yes’ attitude to resource projects.”

In a shaky glob-

al economy, Winter stresses B.C. can’t afford to sideline its resource industries for ideological reasons.

“These industries are B.C.’s heritage and its core competitive advantage on the global stage.

“We need to support these industries while continuing to encourage world-leading environmental and social practices, so B.C.’s resource industries will be a model to the world – both economically and ethically.”

Mother’s Day: celebrate, support smoke-free moms

This Mother’s Day, the BC Lung Association (BCLA) encourages readers to congratulate and give thanks to those mothers who have quit smoking, and to offer support to those who are trying to quit.

Smoking is the number 1 cause of lung cancer.

A recent Provincial Health Officer’s report on women’s health confirms woman with similar smoking habits to men are twice as likely to develop lung cancer.

Furthermore, they develop cancer at an earlier

age.

Smoking is also the leading cause of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). COPD is the fourth leading cause of death, the No. 1 reason for adult admission to hospital emergency rooms. It also affects more women than men.

“That’s why helping more people quit smoking remains a top public health priority,” says Suzanne Gaby, QuitNow Services manager for the BCLA. “There are only so many things we can do

to reduce our risk of any disease, let alone cancer.

Quitting smoking is the number 1 preventive health measure we can take – and with lung cancer and COPD rates in women increasing, it’s a critical step.”

Gaby says the BCLA doesn’t highlight these facts to frighten women, but rather to encourage women to take care of their health so they’ll be around to see their kids grow up.

cautious of exposure to tobacco smoke, Gaby says, adding regular smoke exposure can create a greater risk of miscarriages and low birth weight babies.

“Infants who breathe in tobacco smoke have a greater chance of getting bronchitis, pneumo-

nia, ear infections and of dying from sudden infant death syndrome.

“Studies also demonstrate children regularly exposed to tobacco smoke score lower on tests in reading, math, logic, and reasoning skills.”

The reality is that if

cigarettes were invented today, Gaby explains, they would never make it to market.

This is why the BCLA is taking every opportunity to remind British Columbians of the free quit smoking services available through its free QuitNow program

(www.quitnow.ca). Most smokers – seven out of 10 – want to quit and the BCLA wants to help.

Ready to quit smoking?

Local students and amateur and professional musicians came together May 6 to perform the song “Is Somebody Singing,” synchronized with other people all across Canada at 10:30 a.m., and it was followed by a concert.

Music Monday event a success

May 6 was Music Monday in School District #27 and across the country.

Students from all of the elementary and the secondary school music programs in 100 Mile House travelled north to share their talents as musicians and singers.

They joined all public school music students in Williams Lake at the Cariboo Memorial Complex, along with many other professional and amateur musicians and singers.

The Canada-wide event is held to support music in schools, and features the simultaneous singing and playing of one song at 10:30 a.m. across the nation.

After everyone played and sang “Is Somebody Singing,” each group performed a piece on their own.

NO MORE THAN 60 SECONDS.

10 TIPS TO A GREAT SALE! 1. Place your advertisement for 2 weeks in our classified section.

2. Call friends and neighbours to see if they’d like to do a sale together.

The bigger the selection, the more customers you’ll have.

3. Give yourself a couple of days to get organized.

4. Gather boxes, newspapers, and bags to use during the sale to package purchases.

5. Set your dates and times. The first and middle of the month are paydays for many people.

6. Take the time to clean up your items… products will sell better when they look “taken care of.”

7. Make the most of your display by setting up in a visible area such as the front yard, the driveway or near the curb. Don’t tuck yourself and your merchandise in a dark garage.

8. Label everything for sale with tape. Price it so you might consider buying it for yourself.

9. Before the sale, go to the bank. Get plenty of small bills and change to have on-hand. Keep a calculator handy for quick adding.

10. Be an entrepreneur. Make extra money by selling canned sodas, lemonade, etc., to shoppers. If you have kids, have them do this!

Patients will require a physician’s referral to be considered for admission into the program.

Referral forms may be accessed online at www. bcwomens/ccdp, or by calling the program at 604-875-2061, or fax at 604-875-3738.

After a patient has been referred, their needs will be further assessed by program staff, through the use of a triage process.

The triage criteria have been created with input from patient advocacy groups and a medical ethicist to ensure a fair process that prioritizes patients appropriately.

Once a date and time has been determined for a qualifying patient, the CCDP will then contact the referring physician with the information.

Big Bike events have raised $62,076.17.

These funds have helped support research in British Columbia by researchers, such as Dr. Karin Humphries, who is investigating genderbased differences in cardiovascular disease to build understanding and ultimately help improve the outcomes that women with heart disease face.

Individuals can join an existing Big Bike Ride team or get a team together at their workplace, church, or club.
