Exercise your right to vote MONICA LAMB-YORSKI Advanced polls for Tuesdays B.C. election are open today, May 10 and tomorrow, May 11 from 8 a.m. until 8 p.m. each day. Two advanced polling stations are open in Williams Lake. One at the Cariboo Memorial Complex’s Gibraltar Room for Cariboo-Chilcotin voters, the other at the Ramada Overlander Hotel at 1118 Lakeview Crescent for Cariboo North voters. “Everybody needs to bring their ‘where to vote’ card,” says Linda Isfeld, Cariboo-Chilcotin Deputy District Electoral Officer. “Don’t recycle it. It will move things along and streamline the process if people bring them with them.” Wayne Rodier, Cariboo North District Electoral Officer visited the advanced polling stations in Williams Lake and Quesnel Wednesday morning. “Both seemed fairly busy, which is a good sign,” Rodier said, adding he “encouraged everybody to get out and vote.” On general voting day, Tuesday

May 14, Cariboo-Chilcotin riding voters are assigned to a number of different venues for voting. The ‘where to vote’ card will give people their voting locations, Isfeld said. For Cariboo North Williams Lake area voters, polling stations will be at the Ramada Overland Convention Centre, Williams Lake Indian Band gym, 150 Mile fire hall, McLeese Lake, Miocene, Big Lake, Horsefly, and Likely community halls and at Wildwood school. For Cariboo-Chilcotin Williams Lake area polling stations will be set up at the Gibraltar Room; Marie Sharpe, Glendale, Cataline, Chilcotin Road, Mountview, and Kwaleen elementary schools; as well as St. Andrew’s United Church. Polling stations for CaribooChilcotin voters south of Williams Lake will be set up at the Lac La Hache Seniors Centre, ChimneyFelker Lake Fire Hall, Sxoxmic School at Alkali Lake; and the Dog Creek Community Hall.

People should check their voting cards carefully to see where their particular voting station is located. People without the voting card can still vote, but will have to bring identification to register, Isfeld said. All voters must prove their identity and residential address to receive a ballot or to register when voting. Acceptable types of identification include a single document issued by the Government of B.C. or Canada that contains the voter’s name, photograph and residential address, such as a B.C. driver’s licence, B.C. Identification Card (BCID), or B.C. Services Card. A Certificate of Indian Status as issued by the Government of Canada is also acceptable.

A third option is two documents that together show the voter’s name and residential address. Both documents must show the voter’s name. At least one of the documents must also contain the voter’s residential address. Digital or electronic documents (e.g. e-bills) are acceptable. Hand-written information on a document, photocopies or electronic scans/photos of a paper document are not acceptable. Elections BC will be posting the previous day’s advanced poll number of votes cast results on its website at noon each day. “There’s a lot of great information on the website,” Isfeld said. Cariboo North presently has 23,316 eligible voters, of which 6,252 live in the southern portion, while the Cariboo-Chilcotin riding has 20,998 registered voters. During the 2009 election Cariboo North experienced a 60 per cent or 14,148 voter turnout whereas in Cariboo-Chilcotin it was 62.9 per cent or 13,080 voter participation.

Just saw a cartoon that featured a can labelled “Dehydrated Water. Empty contents into a gallon of water and stir.” We’ve come a long way in attitude from when the first processed foods hit the shelves. Cake mixes originally listed water as the only needed ingredient but back in the fifties housewives were suspicious. It just didn’t feel right to only add one ingredient...and for it to be water no less! The company reissued the mix, this time asking the consumer to add an egg as well. The mixes sold like hotcakes. And soon there were mixes for hot cakes as well. And biscuits and muffins and, well, you know the rest of the story. Along the way we lost confidence in making

Or was it more like the story Helen Nearing tells in her quirky cookbook titled Simple Food for the Good Life about a farm woman who spent her days preparing food for half a dozen farmhands until she went ‘quietly crazy’. As she was being led to the wagon that would take her to the psychiatric ward she kept repeating, “And they ate it all in twenty minutes. They ate it all in twenty minutes.” In her cookbook Helen recommends keeping things simple both for physical and mental health. Instead of spending an hour making an apple pie, set out a bowl of apples. Instead of boiling, mashing and dicing, toss whole potatoes in the oven to bake. Today, a walk through the produce

section reveals even the basics are being prepared for us. Peeled baby carrots, foil wrapped potatoes and soon pre-cut apples. Called Arctic Apples they have been genetically modified to prevent browning when exposed to air. This means they can now be sold to consumers already sliced. Anyone who has worked themselves into a state of exhaustion cutting up their apple can now breathe a sigh of relief. As for putting ourselves—or God forbid our children—through the horrors of exercising jaw muscles by eating the fruit whole (not to mention the stress of figuring out what to do with the leftover core) well, forget about it. All we’ll have to contend with is what to do with more plastic

It was back in 1920 that Johnson and Johnson introduced the BandAid. It was the first bandage to be manufactured with tape attached to allow it to be affixed easily to a minor cut. Coffee is a natural pick-me-up due to its caffeine content. In moderate quantity (2-4 cups per day) it’s safe for most people. After one cup of coffee, it takes about 90 minutes for the caffeine to reach its maximum concentration in the blood and can take from 3-7 hours for it to be cleared from the body in the urine. Pregnant women take longer to metabolize the caffeine so should drink less (1-2 cups). As the days become longer and sunnier, it’s a good time to remind everyone of the importance of sunscreens. Sunscreens have Sun Protection Factor (SPF) numbers on them to indicate the degree of protection. Use ones with an SPF 30 or higher. Apply sunscreens correctly. It takes about a teaspoonful for each leg, chest and stomach and back. Use a little over a half teaspoonful for each arm, your face and the back of the neck and ears. Let it soak in for a half hour before you go out in the sun and reapply if you are sweating or swimming. Some sports sunscreens are thicker and stay on longer. Take charge of your own health and take steps to prevent problems from occurring. Since sunburns are the main cause of skin cancers, use of sunscreen lotions is a good example of taking charge.

But once they complete the government review processes our orchards will be filled with non-browning apples and our grocery stores filled with pre-sliced apples. When did cutting up our own vegetables and fruit become so much work we needed to outsource it? If you’re feeling judged or thinking I have never bought a bag of precut carrots in my organic life, you’re mistaken. Baby carrots were a staple in the crisper during my children’s school years. I well remember being so tired I envied The Jetson’s and their

pill popping meal plan (for those who might not know, The Jetson’s were a futuristic television cartoon family whose meals came in the form of pills served by robots). If I couldn’t have the full meal pills, a robot in some factory slicing and washing my carrots for me sufficed. The only reason that changed was because I started growing enough carrots to store over winter and they taste SO good they can’t be replaced, no matter how convenient the alternative. But I still wouldn’t mind if a robot peeled them for me. And that’s just sad. Shannon McKinnon is a syndicated columnist from Northern BC.

Election issue: agriculture policies TOM FLETCHER Black Press Relief from carbon tax on farms and promotion of B.C.-grown agricultural products are key promises in the campaign for the May 14 provincial election. The B.C. Liberal Party and the B.C. NDP have argued for a decade about the best way to promote local food consumption. The NDP platform promises to reinstate the “Buy B.C.” program that identifies products grown anywhere in the province. The B.C. Liberal government ended that program, and in 2012 it committed $2 million to regional “Buy Local” promotions that they say are more adaptable to local needs. The party’s current platform promises to double that funding to “promote 50and 100-mile diets.” Neither party is specific about assistance for tree fruit growers. The NDP pledges to “help orchardists with

replanting and other costs,” while the B.C. Liberals offer to “begin work on a permanent and sustainable tree fruit replant program, to be implemented following the current three-year, $2 million program.” In its pre-election budget, the B.C. Liberal government has offered $20 million in carbon tax relief for greenhouse and flower growers, in addition to an exemption for coloured gasoline and diesel used on farms. The B.C. Green Party proposes major reforms, including phasing out synthetic chemical pesticides, banning genetically modified crops such as canola and removing taxes on value-added B.C. products such as juices and wines. Platform highlights: • The B.C. Liberals promise a new meat inspection system by 2014, including a new “Certified B.C. Beef” brand. The party also wants to create a “Cen-

tre of Excellence for Agriculture” at the University of the Fraser Valley. • The B.C. NDP promises $8 million per year starting in 2014 for agriculture programs. Plans include pilot programs to use B.C. produce in hospitals and long-term care facilities. • The B.C. Conservative platform promises only to “introduce policies that support, farmers, ranchers and others.” The party emphasizes its pledge to phase out the carbon tax on all fossil fuels, citing its role in poor financial performance by B.C. agriculture relative to the rest of the country. • The B.C. Green Party would prohibit further release of top-rated land from the Agricultural Land Reserve, and “provide small grants to support municipalities and school boards that wish to maintain and expand community gardens and urban agriculture.”

News What is a columbarium?

A columbarium is a self-standing structure similar to a mausoleum with individual niches housing one or two urns of cremated remains instead of a full size casket. Most historians believe the first cremations took place during the Stone Age, more than 5,000 years ago in Europe. Over the centuries the practice spread to other parts of the world with the Romans being the first to use columbariums to store cremated remains in elaborately decorated urns. While cremation was not always permitted in some religions, Buddhists were among the first to cremate their dead. In the Jewish and early world religions, cremation was frowned upon for

it was considered a pagan practice with many Christian societies only permitting cremation in the case of plague or war. As cremation began to gain acceptance in Europe and North America more and more people chose cremation as an alternative to full body burial and modern cemeteries started to build Columbarium Walls. Columbariums were constructed in response to a growing need to have a space

OPINION

Kamloops Howard Johnson Inn Downtown

Retired business leader supports B.C. Liberals GWYN MORGAN I’m concerned that many British Columbians are more focused on “change” for the sake of change rather than electing the party most likely to foster job creation and financial stability. Our province’s resource endowment has always been a mainstay of both jobs and the generation of revenues needed to fund social programs. From what I have seen and heard, an NDP government would rev-up spending while stymieing resource development through endless environmental reviews and/or by just saying “no,” driving investment to other provinces and other countries. We need new mines and gas fields, pipelines, refineries, ports and processing

plants to replace jobs lost by tech change and by events like the pine beetle catastrophe. Economic development and the protection of the environment are not mutually exclusive. Yes, we must be good stewards of our beautiful province, but we do have the technology to move the economy forward in an environmentally responsible manner. Saying no to new projects will mean job losses for currently employed and no opportunity for young people looking to join the work force. We also need to focus on balancing the provincial budget, rather than taking money away from social programs to fund rising interest costs. Forty years of experience in business has taught me that too much debt is crip-

pling. It scares me that the NDP have rolled out billions of dollars in new spending during this campaign, and their “every dollar is accounted for” rhetoric just isn’t credible because their antidevelopment attitude will reduce revenue at the same time as spending rises. There is truth to the adage: “Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.” The NDP came to power in 1991 and governed the rest of that decade. Investment dried up and economic growth trailed the rest of Canada. A low point came when the Edmonton Chamber of Commerce thanked the B.C. government for driving growth investment in Alberta. Glenn Clark’s

1996-1999 tenure was arguably the most disastrous for B.C. and with Adrian Dix, Premier Clark’s former chief of staff leading the province, I’d be very worried about history repeating itself. It took many years for the Liberals to repair the damage. During their time in government, North America suffered through a major recession and yet we now have a triple-A credit rating, higher than the U.S. government, allowing B.C. taxpayers the lowest possible interest rates Have the Liberals done everything right? Certainly not. The introduction of the HST by the Campbell government was badly handled. There have been other gaffes and ill thought out policies. And while there is

VOTE CORALEE OAKES

a natural inclination for people to vote to change long governing parties, it’s important not to let the NDP sleepwalk to victory without thinking about which party is likely to create jobs and not burden today’s young people with a mountain of debt. I’m not asking that you agree with me, only that you think through the full consequences of your choice carefully. And then get out and vote on May 14. Gwyn Morgan is a retired businessman who lives in the Greater Victoria Region. Morgan is the former chair of SNC Lavalin, and is a director on the boards of several other large corporations including EnCana Corporation. He has served as an advisor to Christy Clark.

Every opposition party promises to improve this sorry situation, with slogans like “change for the better”. But once in power there is no impetus to take the steps necessary to ensure that every MLA can truly represent their constituents and British Columbians’ needs.

We elect 85 MLAs from around the province so they can represent citizens, not political parties, in the difficult decisions that need to be made to govern wisely. As an Independent, I’ve cut through bureaucracy and fought for the best interests of the Cariboo.

Unfortunately, we’ve moved further and further away from this concept of representation and toward the hyperpartisan dictatorship of the premier’s office we see today. Government and opposition MLAs are subjected to stifling party discipline, and the Legislative Assembly has become a stage for partisan speeches instead of the chamber of reasoned debate it’s supposed to be.

In this election there are more Independent candidates in BC than ever before. I believe this is both a sign of British Columbian’s dissatisfaction with party politics and an affirmation of the quality of representation that my Independent colleagues and I have been able to provide in the Legislature.

Through parliamentary committees they are supposed to be intimately involved in setting priorities and establishing laws, regulations, and policies that take into account the diverse nature of BC’s population and geography.

We cannot regain the true nature and intent of our representative system by continuing to elect politicians who will be forced to put their party’s interests ahead of their constituents’ concerns.

encouraged all First Nations to “get out and vote.” “We can tell our members who we’re endorsing, but at the end of the day, it’s the individual’s right to vote how they want.” “When it’s all said and done, the most important thing for the whole Cariboo-Chilcotin riding, not only First Nations, is to vote. The level of First Nations turning out to vote hasn’t been to the level that we want it to be.”

Tl’etinqox-t’in (Anaham) Chief and Tsilhqot’in National Government chair Joe Alphonse has endorsed NDP candidate Charlie Wyse and said the endorsement represents all the chiefs in the TNG. Last week Alphonse and Yunesit’in (Stone) Chief Russell MyersRoss met with NDP leader Adrian Dix over a conference call. “I told him I was disappointed he wasn’t here,” Alphonse said. “We talked about some issues and I think we were still holding out, but our think First Nations governance process is like any other process. We have to meet with our membership. Sometimes it’s not the fastest, so we’re feeling quite thrilled we could come to a decision on who to support.” Citing improved health care and education as some of the key priorities, he said many First Nations people end up in emergency and hospitals. “The health care we have in B.C. right now is scary. We’d like to see better health care for our membership. We want to see improved education. Fifty per cent of our people live off reserve and they are in the school systems.” A system, he said, is in turmoil. “We live in the Cariboo-Chilcotin and we have some pretty rough winters. You look at road conditions and things like that. These are obvious things people should see and remember.” Specific to his home community of Anaham and First Nations is the management of natural resources and wildlife. “We depend on that. That’s food on our table.” A lot of First Nations families live on $10,000 a year, he added. “You’ll never hear them complain. You may have government

workers complain about their pensions and salaries, yet our members out there are content. As long as they can garden, hunt the moose that used to be in our woods, and there are salmon in the rivers they are happy and can live an independent life.” Under the Liberals, he suggested, those resources are disappearing. Last fall First Nations threatened to put up a roadblock to shut hunting down because of the government’s “failure to protect wildlife in his protection area,” he said. “When you’ve got other groups in control of what another level of government is supposed to take care of, there’s a problem.” “I like the NDP views on the environment because they resemble First Nations values the closest. That’s why we want to show our support and endorsement to the NDP. “We want an improved voice in Victoria and we feel Charlie is the best candidate to voice our concerns.” Aside from endorsing the NDP Alphonse

Having more Independent MLAs in the BC Legislature is a good first step to holding both political parties to account while beginning the process of reforming our governance structures. Voting for a party MLA again won’t begin the real “change for the better” BC needs. As an Independent, I will continue to be a strong voice for the Cariboo in Victoria, and I’ll work every day to improve our democracy.

NDP to voters: trust us B.C. VIEWS TOM FLETCHER

When Adrian Dix took over as B.C. NDP leader two years ago, he struggled to communicate, especially in the sound bites of radio and TV. There was a running joke in the legislature press gallery: It didn’t matter what question you asked him, you got a six-minute answer that ended with the evils of log exports. Even more than under Carole James, the NDP railed against log exports. “B.C. logs for B.C. jobs” became one of Dix’s favourite slogans. As the election approached, another Dixism was heard daily: “Say what you’re going to do, say how you’re going to pay for it.” So it was a surprise a few weeks ago when the NDP signalled it would essentially not offer a policy on log exports. They’re going to meet with “stakeholders” and come up with a plan after they get a majority government. This is exactly the same non-policy the NDP had in 2009. They don’t have an answer to the industry’s point that the high price gained by premium logs in foreign markets is what keeps many loggers working, and subsidizes the harvest of other logs for B.C. coastal mills. Another thing the NDP doesn’t like is private power development. This issue

featured prominently in the NDP leadership contest two years ago. Leadership contender Mike Farnworth told the party faithful he would study independent power purchase contracts, and if he found that they are not in the public interest, he would “mend them or end them.” Another leadership hopeful, energy critic John Horgan, allowed that he would “break” contracts if necessary. By this spring, Dix had a new non-position on power purchase contracts. He will “assess them and address

them.” The printed platform promises a review “within the limits of existing contracts.” Either they plan to risk a costly legal battle, or they’re just paying lip service. All you have to do to find out is elect them. Labour code changes are another blank slate. A memo from the B.C. Federation of Labour executive to members last year described how they were working closely with the NDP to rewrite B.C. labour law. The NDP election platform punts this issue until after the election as well,

promising an independent expert panel to decide on issues like whether to end secret-ballot votes for union certification. This isn’t just a bad idea, it’s a 30-year-old bad idea. It’s based on the destructive old notion that employers are the enemy of workers, and only a union can protect them. The long decline of union membership in the private sector isn’t caused by employer bullying or secretballot votes that protect employees’ freedom of choice. The cause is global competition. The only protection

workers have from that is their own efficiency. Balancing the budget? An NDP government will strive to do that over “the business cycle,” says finance critic Bruce Ralston. Old-timers might remember this one. It’s taken from the NDP’s 1991 election platform. Yes, 22 years ago there was a widespread belief in a predictable four-year cycle of commodity prices and other economic determinants. Whatever was left of that dusty, faded picture was erased with the financial collapse of 2008.

If you still believe in a predictable “business cycle,” you may be willing to accept that an NDP-led B.C. will become the first jurisdiction in human history to eliminate poverty, by setting annual targets and paying out borrowed money to lowincome parents. On ferries, fracking, union contracts, capital construction and other weighty matters, the NDP’s answer is the same: trust us.

Opinion Agencies that serve, push for adequate long-term funding for the vulnerable

REBECA ATAYA Most British Columbians would say they care about children. 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 an important chance to press all candidates and parties for specific commitments on services for children and youth. The good news is that we know what needs to be done. We know effective, timely supports can change lives - and avoid huge future costs. But we haven’t acted on that knowledge. Particularly when families are struggling to provide safe care for their children and the state steps in

to protect and support those families. Too often, needed support is just not there. Some families need help developing better parenting skills. Some have to face addiction problems. Children might need counselling, or treatment for behavioural issues. Many are struggling with the impacts of living in poverty. The range of needed services is enormous. The children’s ministry receives more than 30,000 “protection reports” a year - warnings a child might be at risk of abuse or neglect. In the most serious cases, children are taken into government care. But that’s a last resort. Increasingly, the ministry is focused on linking families with help so they succeed. And that support is provided by commu-

nity social service agencies across the province. Quick access to services can help families overcome problems, the ministry report notes, and “prevent families’ challenges from becoming entrenched.” But those of us who work in the community social services sector know that for many families, quick access to services is impossible. Funding for agencies has been frozen or cut, while demand for services has increased dramatically. Waiting lists have grown. Problems become more serious while desperate families can’t get the help they need. That’s wrong. And it’s wasteful. We will pay, as a society, far more in future because we aren’t providing needed support to children and fami-

lies today. We’re failing in other ways. Parents know, for example, that their children need continued support as they grow into adulthood - help with school costs, a safe home, advice and encouragement. Yet youth in government care are denied that support. On their 19th birthdays, they are basically left to fend for themselves. The results are predictable. The Ministry of Children and Family Development released a report this month that found almost half of youth who “aged out” of care were on income assistance within six months. Attending school, finding work and a place to live, staying healthy - they are all difficult, perhaps impossible, for an unsupported 19-year-

old. The ministry recognizes the problem, and is looking for ways to extend support. But it lacks a clear mandate, and the needed resources. Ask your local candidates to commit to adequate long-term funding for these vital services. Push the parties for specific answers about what they will do to ensure services for family and youth are available when and where they are needed. It’s easy to say we care about children. What’s needed today is action, not more words.

Cell phones, computers, appliances, bicycles, buses, cars, homes and electricity are just a few of the things that require minerals and metals. Besides that, mining is one of BC’s biggest generators of jobs and tax revenue.

Horse Lake Garden Centre opens at Yellow Umbrella Horse Lake Garden Centre and Gift Shop is setting up a greenhouse

close to Williams Lake this weekend, just in time for Mother’s Day.

Starting this Saturday the Lone Butte company will have a garden centre

IN SUPPORT OF MINING

Running up to the provincial election on Tuesday, CaribooChilcotin incumbent Liberal candidate Donna Barnett spoke at the Mining Week reception held at Signal Point in Williams Lake on May 2. Monica Lamb-Yorski photo

set up at the Yellow Umbrella Thyme for Tea at 150 Mile House. The centre will have all kinds of annuals, perennials, and vegetable plants available for gardens as well as hanging baskets to decorate any garden, home or business. “We grow our plants so they are great for the area we live in,” say garden centre owners Roger and Marcia Stratton. “We plant our own hanging baskets as well as make custom baskets and planters.” Marcia hand selects all the gifts they carry in their shop in Lone Butte, about 10 minutes outside of 100 Mile House. Marcia and Roger had been coming to their cabin the area for years and were looking for something to do to keep them there permanently.

So when the opportunity to purchase the Horse Lake Garden Centre became available they found it a blooming good idea. Since purchasing the business four years ago Marcia and Roger have expanded the garden centre and added the gift shop which includes unique offerings in home decor, fashion and food items. They are members of the Canadian Federation of Independent Businesses and the local chamber of commerce. Over the years they have participated in many community events such as fall fairs, Communities in Bloom, and local charity events such as Lone Butte Rocks. “We are in business for our customers so we treat them with that respect,” say Marcia and Roger.

High school debate liveliest to date Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer Students from Columneetza and Williams Lake secondary schools heard from six of the seven candidates running in the Cariboo North and Cariboo-Chilcotin ridings during an all candidates forum Tuesday at WLSS. Each candidate gave opening and closing remarks, and answered

questions from students which covered resource industries, copper theft, subsidies for students who have to board in town for school or make the commute, balancing the economy and health, the legalization of marijuana and rising tuition costs. The first question, directed to the NDP candidates, asked where the money will come from to fund programs if projects

such as New Prosperity or Enbridge don’t go through. NDP candicate Charlie Wyse suggested the NDP platform will find money by increasing corporate taxes and raising taxation of individuals earning more than $150,000 taxable income. “There’s two main ways the government gets money,” NDP candidate Duncan Barnett said. “One through taxes

and one through ‘rents’ of resources, your timber, minerals, oil and gas.” While the NDP have said “no” to New Prosperity and Enbridge because the party believes they have some “very major” environmental issues, the party has clearly stated it supports mining, agriculture, and is prepared to invest money in those industries, Duncan added. Cariboo-Chilcotin Liberal Donna Barnett said

there’s a difference between debt and deficit and that the Liberals inherited a huge debt and then increased it by building hospitals, cancer clinics, highways, schools, social housing, all the things that are necessary for the social network. Cariboo-Chilcotin Independent candidate Gary Young described the NDP’s “fully-costed” budget means citizens will pay more and go into debt

more. He’d even made a large “people’s credit card” placard and said the government is spending the people’s money. Responding to a question about financial help for students who live in rural areas, Cariboo North Liberal candidate Coralee Oakes said the mining activity in the region will change the future of the region and benefit local families. “We have to rethink

what our region looks like because of our natural resources and the growth that’s happening,” Oakes said. When asked how government can balance eliminating debt and looking after the health of citizens, Duncan said the NDP platform states that people have to be considered the number one resource.

Perfection, Happiness, and God On a Sunday night in the middle of the 1970’s I sat down as a child with my family to watch a movie on TV. My parents were not big television fans, so I knew this had to be special, and it was. We tuned in to CBC and I was transfixed for the next two-and-a-half hours as the Family Von Trapp sang songs and thwarted the plans of evil Nazis. I loved it. It was perfect. And as the singing family made their escape over achingly beautiful mountains, this young boy, up past his bedtime and too tired to see straight, didn’t want it to end. But these were pre-DVD (or even VCR) days and watching it over again wasn’t an option. All I had was the memory of something that seemed as near perfection as anything I could imagine. Fast forward to other “perfect” moments you and I have experienced: an early morning water-ski on a glassy lake, a motorcycle ride down a winding canyon with a good buddy, your wedding day, the birth of a child, shooting that big buck after a perfect stalk, the Christmas dinner when the food was great and everyone got along, that perfect day by the ocean, the perfect cup of coffee. Maybe you don’t identify with all (or any) of these, but you probably have some near-perfect moments etched in your memory, too. We all have moments we wish we could hang on to, moments of great happiness. But they don’t last. We have to keep chasing them. I suppose that’s why happiness is most often refered to as a pursuit. You might be able to “sieze the day”, but I don’t know anyone who has been able to sieze happiness. We can only catch fleeting glimpses of it, smell a whiff of perfection here and there, and those moments always leave us longing for more. C.S. Lewis, a favorite author of mine,

PARSONS PARSONS PEN PEN

BY harder BYChris JEREMY VOGT said this about the longings we pursue: “If we find ourselves with a desire that nothing in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that we were made for another world.” I can’t refute that kind of simple logic. You can attain many of your desires in this world by working hard – a beautiful home, new vehicles, the perfect vacation getaway, a great education, a rewarding job – but finding true happiness deep in our hearts is a more difficult proposition. Fact is, you and I were made by God, and created with a place inside our souls that can only be completely satisfied by God himself. I believe that’s why the happiest people I’ve known have never been the ones who have had the most success at getting what they want. Rather, the most joy-filled people have always been the ones who lose themselves in a greater purpose – love,

service, compassion, faith. In the end, happiness is a lousy goal, but a wonderful by-product of pursuing something bigger than a mere feeling. Ultimately, the search for happiness is a quest for transcendence. That is, we want to be part of something bigger than ourselves. We want desperately to know God. And we can. The psalmist records God’s invitation: “Delight yourself in the Lord and he will give you the desires of your heart.” Here’s the thing: God wants to be known. Unlike that big buck or monster trout that try to stay out of our reach whenever we go looking for them, unlike the other moments of happiness that let us catch a peek just before they disappear like a perfect sunset, God wants you to find him. He has promised to reveal himself to those who seek, to open the door of relationship to those who come knocking, and to give himself freely to those who ask. Want to find him? He’s waiting to be discovered in the pages of the bible, in the gathering of his people, in the beauty of his creation, and in the whisper of his Spirit to our souls. The churches in Williams Lake exist to help guide you in the pursuit of God. We would love nothing more than to help you in your search. I know, it’s tempting to just venture off on your own and try to “be spiritual”. I also know from many failed attempts on my own that the best hunting happens when you walk with someone who’s familiar with the territory and the habits of whatever it is you’re after. In short, you’ll do better if you have a guide. So may I invite you, on behalf of the communities of faith in Williams Lake, to come join the hunt with us. God is waiting for you.

Students concerned about Continued from A16 “You invest in your people with education, skills and trades training, and support it with health care so citizens are innovative, creative, contributing members of society,” he said. Simpson said stopping the subsidization of corporations would be a start. “We give $4 million of tax subsidy to oil and gas companies in the Peace region, some of the most profitable companies in the world,” he said. “Natural resources need to be priced appropriately to get more from our forests, minerals and oil and gas revenues.” Donna said balancing the economy, the environment and social programs, and the expectations that come from citizens is what politicians try to deliver. “I come from era of common sense,” Donna told the students. “I come from an era of hardworking people, where we didn’t spend more than we had. What politicians have to learn today, which I’ve done all my life, is say ‘no’ to things that aren’t important and ‘yes’ to things that are a necessity.” Young suggested the money is there. “My bank made $4.5 million in three months, they don’t pay any taxes in B.C.” he said. “Tax those who should be paying and we can balance the budget and have money to put back

in education and health care.” When asked whether marijuana should be legalized in B.C, Young said he was the only candidate in the campaign who said he supports decriminalization, to which several students whopped and applauded loudly. “I’ve got support from the courts who are sick and tired of clogging up the courts with this minor thing. The police want to get off this minor thing and get on to real crime,” Young said. “The health care system says it’s good for us in many ways. Let’s get on with it.” Simpson added he’d said the same thing in 2005 and in 2009. When asked how the government will either lower tuition or help students pay it off, Duncan said the NDP would put $100 million toward the

student grant program, and $20 million for a scholarship fund. “That money comes from the tax on the banks that was just mentioned.” Oakes said it’s so important the BC Liberals have introduced the registered savings plan of $1,200 and highlighted the trades training students can start while still in high school, to save money on postsecondary costs. “If you’re going into medicine and you’ve served in rural places you can get some of that money back. So stay in the north and stay in our rural communities when you look at going back in to work as a doctor, a nurse or in midwifery, those kinds of programs,” Oakes said. Simpson suggested education needs to be seen as an investment. “Until we switch it, it

will always be nickelled and dimed and you’ll always have to pay for it on your own. The other issue is that persons who are saddled with debt are unable to contribute to the economy.” In his closing remarks Wyse told the students, the resources of B.C. provide the funds that provide needed services. “We require health, education, care for young and old, and one of the things the NDP is providing you is a platform that gives all those issues, while encouraging all industries to flourish,” he said. Secondary students in Williams Lake will participate in a mock election on May 10. The results of the election cannot be made public until after the official election results are released, said Columeetza secondary school teacher Shannon Rerie.

Lawns, Homes & Gardens 2013 perennial of the year

By Jean Atkinson Richbar Golf & Gardens This beautiful perennial caught my eye in the front garden of Quesnel’s master gardener, Natalie Sargent. A huge swath of Variegated Fragrant Solomon’s Seal brightened the shade under a tree. I must have openly displayed my love of this plant as Natalie so graciously brought me a piece for my own garden. Polygonatum odoratum Variegatum must have also caught the eye of gardeners and nursery people who make up the Perennial

Plant Association. These members come together to vote every year on the Perennial of the Year. There are many criteria the perennial must fall into to be nominated and then finally be awarded the honour above others that are nominated. First, it must suitably grow in a wide range of

climatic conditions. It performs well in part to full shade conditions. It prefers moist, welldrained soil where plants can be left undisturbed. It is a natural in the woodland garden growing along-side hostas, ferns and astilbes. Have patience as it is slow growing but so worth the wait.

Perennial of the Year must be relatively pest and disease resistant, have low maintenance growing requirements and be readily available. Solomon’s Seal fits all these requirements. This hardy perennial will grow in zone 3, making it suitable for a large number of gardeners. The graceful, arching stems have green and white variegated leaves. It reaches a height of 45 cm (18 inches) and will spread by rhizomes to form colonies. In the fall they turn an attractive yellow. Delicate, bell-shaped white flowers are sweetly fragrant. This plant is outstanding in

the border as well as a cut flower. For all of you Hosta fans (myself included), this year’s Hosta of the Year is Rainforest Sunrise. It is a small Hosta. Rainforest Sunrise has a height of 20cm (8in.) and a spread of 40 cm (16 in.). The leaves are slightly cupped and corrugated with florescent gold centers and deep green margins. Very slug resistant, a strong grower with bright summer colour for the shade.Ideal for a container this summer season then planted into your garden to be enjoyed for years to come.

Deer-proofing a garden There are many organic or chemicallybased products on the market that deer may find offensive to the taste or smell. Hot pepper, sulfur and eggs or even the use of soapy water have been successful in certain instances. The use of blood meal or even human hair around the garden may repel the deer and keep them on a different foraging path.

However, remember that any deer that is very hungry may ignore unpleasant tastes or smells for a quick bite. If other food sources are available, there are some species of plants and trees that deer will avoid. Filling your garden with these plants can help you maintain a beautiful, albeit untasty, environment for deer. When planting annuals, select among:

Alyssum, Begonias, Calendula, Celosia, Dianthus, Foxglove, Geraniums, Parsley, Poppy, Snapdragons. In terms of perennials, plant these items once, and deer could stay away: Ageratum, Anemone, Astibe, Bearded Iris, Catmint, Honeysuckle, Lantana, Monkshood, Rock Rose, Rosemary, Soapwort, Wisteria Plant these herbs

alongside flowers for even more protection: Chives, Eucalyptus, Garlic, Mint, Thyme, Wintergreen. Gardeners who use a

maintain moisture during dry periods, when gardens might otherwise be highly susceptible to

Did you know? Landscape fabrics are used to prevent weed growth while still allowing air, oxygen and water to flow to and from the soil. Landscape fabrics are a chemical-free way to prevent weed growth, endearing them to ecofriendly homeowners. Landscape fabrics, once laid, also are a far less labour-intensive method to prevent weed growth, as they can be effective for several years, during which homeowners can expect to perform little or no maintenance. In addition, many homeowners prefer landscape fabrics because they can help the soil effectively

Gardening tips for beginners

Herbs are versatile, capable of lending great flavor to foods while also playing different roles in personal health and beauty. Herbs can be grown to perfume homes and bodies. There are herbs that are also purported to help with ailments, from upset stomachs to anxiety. When planting an herb garden, you may want to pay particular attention to the types of flavours and smells you like in your home and cooking. This will help you to narrow down the types of herbs you will plant. Many would-be

herb gardeners tend to start small to see what luck they have when cultivating herbs. Fortunately, herbs can grow well in containers indoors, provided the soil is amenable and there is plenty of sunlight. Herbs will grow best in well-prepared soil. Make sure that it is rich in organic matter and drains well. Also, for plants like parsley, be sure to have deep pots

or dig deeply in the garden to establish long taproots. Until the weather warms up, you may want to begin herb cultivation indoors and then transfer plants outside during the summer. Basil, for instance, is a tropical plant that does well in warm conditions. Therefore, it will need to be kept away from drafts and get several hours of direct sunshine a day.

Cultivate an herb garden

Many people cultivate gardens both inside and outside of their homes with a focus on adding aesthetic appeal to their property. But a garden that boasts plants that are edible and pleasing to the eye is a possibility as well. Planting an herb garden is a creative way to enjoy the sights, smells and tastes of a wide variety of plants. Using fresh-harvested herbs in culinary endeavors imparts a taste that dried spices cannot match. What’s more, fresh herbs are often easy to cultivate.

Mulch can be as aesthetically appealing as it is effective. Mulch retains soil, helping roots to grow stronger, while deterring bugs and preventing weed growth. And many gardeners find mulch adds visual appeal their garden, and does so in a very inexpensive way. *Clean your tools. Beginners rarely recognize the importance of cleaning gardening tools before putting them away. At the end of each gardening session, clean your tools thoroughly, as soil left on your garden tools can play host to potentially harmful microbes that might kill your plants.

If you’re planting flowers to accent walkways, then consider erecting a barrier around the flower bed to safeguard the flowers from foot traffic. *Get started before you plant. Preparing the soil a few weeks before you start planting can help the plants thrive down the road. Add some organic material, such as compost or fertilizer, to the soil roughly three weeks before planting. This helps the soil retain water and nutrients, which will help your garden thrive. *Time your planting. When you plant is sometimes as important as what you plant. Some climates allow for year-round planting, but many do not. When buying seeds, the packaging might suggest what time of year to plant the seeds.

Scholarships to empower seven youth with IBD Nominations now being accepted for Second Annual Scholarship Program that rewards remarkable students living with Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. Canada has one of the highest reported prevalence of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in the world and 20-30 per cent of people with IBD are diagnosed before the age of 20. To support Canadian students living with IBD and raise awareness about this chronic disease, the AbbVie IBD Scholarship Program is accepting nominations from young people living with IBD. In partnership with the Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation of Canada (CCFC), the AbbVie IBD Scholarship Program is designed to award students who are living well with IBD, and strive to sustain an optimal level of wellness allowing them to excel while inspiring others to do the same. Through an unrestricted educational grant by AbbVie, CCFC will extend seven one-time scholarships of up to $5,000 Canadian to students living with IBD who are entering into or are currently attending a post-secondary educational institution. Students of all ages are welcome to apply and the scholarship can be used for any Canadian post-secondary institution “I am committed to living each day to the fullest and I’m so grateful to the CCFC and AbbVie for giving me the opportunity and inspiration to push harder and help me excel at my academic goals,” says Clinton Shard, one of seven 2012 “gutsy” scholarship winners. “While the monetary scholarship provides an incentive, it also represents an investment in assisting students living with IBD and helping us achieve our dreams.” Through initiatives such as the scholarship program, AbbVie aims to continue ac-

celerating the recognition of the burden of IBD and help further the global dissemination of evolving approaches to better care for people living with IBD. “AbbVie is proud to partner again this year with CCFC for the AbbVie IBD Scholarship Program. This initiative is a great example of a partnership that makes a difference in people’s lives,” states Felipe Pastrana, General Manager of AbbVie Canada. “While our name, AbbVie, has changed – our commitment to the IBD community endures. Over the years, AbbVie has shown continued commitment to people living with IBD by helping organizations and health care providers alike better understand the impact of these diseases on people’s lives. AbbVie recognizes the need for better disease diagnosis and monitoring to help improve the lives of millions of people affected by this chronic and debilitating disease.”

IBD Incidence Rates on the Rise Inflammatory bowel disease, or IBD, is a group of disorders that causes the intestines to become inflamed and ulcerated. This is caused by an abnormal response of the body’s immune system. A recent survey conducted by the CCFC found that 69 percent of people who had IBD when they were young were delayed in completing their post-secondary education. 89 percent who had IBD as a child felt that they could have achieved more at school without their disease. Since there is currently no known cure or cause, young people need strategies to achieve their best long-term health despite their diagnosis. Unfortunately, a majority of people living with IBD endure many challenges when it comes to their education. With intensive medical treatments, debilitating symptoms and lengthy hospital stays, keeping up with school can become

extremely difficult. “Due to the isolating nature of the disease, people living with IBD too often miss out on the great life experiences many of us take for granted, including completing their education,” says Dr. Kevin Glasgow, CCFC’s Chief Executive Officer. “The AbbVie IBD Scholarship was born of the desire to support students with Crohn’s and colitis and help empower them to continue their education and excel to their fullest potential. Our challenge is to find more youth like Clinton who are speaking out to help reduce the stigma associated with digestive disease. By telling their stories through the AbbVie IBD Scholarship Program, we know we can inspire many others to do the same at a time when advancing public understanding of IBD is needed most.” The AbbVie IBD Scholarship Program – The A, B, Cs The AbbVie IBD Scholarship Program,

in partnership with CCFC, is designed for applicants of any age entering into or attending a Canadianbased post-secondary institution. Applicants must be: · A legal and permanent resident of Canada; · Diagnosed with inflammatory bowel disease by a physician; · Seeking an associate’s, undergraduate, or graduate degree from a Canadian university; college; or enrolled in a trade school educational program; · Enrolled in or awaiting acceptance from a Canadianbased post-educational institution for the Fall semester of 2013; and · A student who demonstrates academic aspiration and strives to sustain an optimal level of wellness in spite of their IBD, allowing them to excel to reach their personal and academic goals and inspiring others to do the same.

While they are still very much younger than they appear in this scene, Cathie Hamm (Emma), and Curt Sprickerhoff (Nunzio), make extremely convincing grandparents. The cast also includes Michael Rawluk (Frank), Silvia Swift (Aida), Kara Pare (Caitlin), and Chris Armstrong (Nick).

SPCA conducts on-line survey The BC SPCA is seeking public input about important animal issues facing B.C. communities as it begins a strategic planning process to guide its programs and services from 2014 to 2018. The donor-supported animal welfare organization provides a wide range of services for abused, injured, neglected and homeless animals throughout B.C., including cruelty investigations, emergency rescue, sheltering and adoption of homeless animals, humane education programs for youth, wildlife rehabilitation, advocacy, improving standards of care for

farm animals and spay/ neuter programs to reduce pet overpopulation in B.C. “We were able to accomplish incredible steps forward for animals in our province during the last fiveyear strategic plan and we’re very excited about building on this success,” says Craig Daniell, chief executive officer for the BC SPCA. “As we move forward, it is very important that we hear from our supporters, our staff and volunteers, community leaders, veterinarians and members of the public about their priorities for animals in our province.”

Daniell notes that the overwhelming number of animal issues in B.C. creates a challenge for the BC SPCA as it decides

how best to use its resources to create more humane communities across the province. “We are incredibly fortunate to have such

generous and compassionate supporters, but as a charity that relies on community support, we always have to evaluate and as-

sess how we can use our limited resources most effectively for the animals. Feedback from the public is an important part of our

decision-making.” A link to the short public survey will be available May 1-31 on the BC SPCA website at spca.bc.ca/survey.

What have they done to Grandpa? H

undreds of seniors are stuck in acute care hospitals and residential care homes – away from their loved ones – because the government cut home care and eliminated home support services. The government has downloaded services to volunteers and eliminated professional home support workers who are trained and accountable in dealing with the needs of seniors. Without proper home support, many seniors are needlessly forced into institutions.

Universal home support

COSCO is calling for universal home care and home support services, based on need, available seven days a week to seniors and people with disabilities. Such a service would allow thousands of seniors to live with dignity and respect in their own homes, close to families and friends. It would cost much less than acute or residential care. It would strengthen our overall public health care system by reducing the pressure on acute care hospitals. As a matter of both human decency and common sense economics, providing universal home support so people can remain in their own homes must be a priority for the next government of our province.

On May 14, please vote for a candidate who will respect seniors and their families by supporting universal home care and home support services

Health Awareness Mental Health Week

May 5-11, 3013

MENTAL ILLNESS SHOWS NO DISCRIMINATION The Canadian Mental Health Association will once again underline Mental Health Week. This illness has a direct or indirect impact on most Canadians, either through family members, friends or colleagues and this is a perfect opportunity to learn more about the importance of mental health and how to achieve it in our daily lives. Mental illness shows no discrimination as it affects people of all ages, educational backgrounds, income levels, and cultures. Over the course of their life-

time, 20% of Canadians will experience a mental illness; figures show that in 1999 the cost to our health care system was at least $7.9 billion - $4.7 billion of which was spent in care and $3.2 billion in disability and early death. In addition, $6.3 billion was spent on uninsured mental health services and time taken off work due to depression and distress that was not treated by the health care system. The Canadian Mental Health Association’s Web site (www.

cmha.ca), provides a whole array of valuable information, from tips on balancing work and life, to coping with unemployment, and stress. There is also a support centre which offers advice for people living with a mental illness and information on identifying a potential problem, where to seek help as well as coping strategies for parents, siblings and other family members. The site also provides links to specialized services, support groups, health care providers and other helpful resources.

THE MANY HATS WORN BY NURSES Enter a hospital, doctor’s office, adult care facility or medical clinic and you are bound to encounter nurses. Nurse is a broad term used to describe

most individuals who perform patient-based care in a variety of settings. A nurse’s duties and title will vary depending on his or her education-

Here are the common types of nurses and the type of education required to become a nurse. * Nursing aide/orderly: Nursing aides and orderlies help nurses care for patients and perform routine tasks. They spend most of their time with patients, serving meals, keeping patients comfortable, answering call lights, making beds, and giving baths. Most nursing aides work in a hospital setting or longterm facilities for the elderly. * Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN): An LPN studies for a year after earning a high school diploma. LPNs typically record medical histories, weigh and measure patients, record symptoms, and administer injections. * Registered Nurse (RN): An RN typically pursues a two-year Associate’s degree in nursing or may receive a Bachelor’s degree in the field. RNs must pass a

al background and the certifications and licenses he or she has received.

national exam before they are licensed. The duties of an RN are generally more varied and indepth than those of an LPN and can include helping patients manage treatment plans. * Nurse practitioner (NP): Nurse practitioners are among the most educated hospital employees. In addition to their RN study, they earn a Master’s degree and may specialize in one area. Also, NPs may be able to work outside of the authority of a physician. In such instances, an NP can run a medical practice, diagnose and prescribe medication just as a doctor would. Although doctors are often thought of as the primary care providers in most healthcare settings, nurses are growing in numbers and have taken on many of the roles once reserved exclusively for doctors.

Health Awareness Spinal Health

May 5-11, 2013

GOOD POSTURE HELPS REDUCE BACK PAIN Correct posture is a simple but very important way to keep the many intricate structures in the back and spine healthy. It is much more than cosmetic—good posture and back support are critical to reducing the incidence and levels of back pain and neck pain. Back support is especially important for patients who spend many hours sitting in an office chair or standing throughout the day. Problems Caused by Poor Back Support and Posture Not maintaining good posture and adequate back support can add strain to muscles and put stress on the spine. Over time, the stress of poor posture can change the anatomical characteristics of the spine, leading to the pos-

sibility of constricted blood vessels and nerves, as well as problems with muscles, discs and joints. All of these can be major contributors to back and neck pain, as well as headaches, fatigue, and possibly even concerns with major organs and breathing. Ergonomic Office Chairs for Back Support Office work often results in poor posture and strain to the lower back. Many people work sitting in an office chair that is not properly fitted to their body and does not provide enough lower back support. One strategy is to choose an ergonomic office chair that often provides better support than a regular chair and may be more comfortable for the patient.

Hearing Awareness DEALING WITH TINNITUS Tinnitus is a very common symptom suffered to some extent by 70-85% of people with hearing impairment. For most it is more of an “irritant” than a major problem. Tinnitus can be perceived as many different sounds, such as humming, ringing or buzzing, and it can be constant or periodic and vary in loudness. There can be many causes of tinnitus. Often the reason is unknown. Frequently it is noise induced, is related to medical disorders such as ear infections or Ménière’s disease, or may be caused by use of certain drugs. Regardless of the cause, there is a very high correlation between the presence of hearing loss and tinnitus. This correlation is probably related to the well-established principle that a peripheral disorder (such as a cochlear hearing loss) produces an increase in brain activity. In other words, the brain tries to compensate for

the lack of stimulation from the inner ear. Often, negative emotion is attached to the tinnitus, and increased attention is paid to it –making it difficult for the patient to cope. It is consequently important to talk to patients about their thoughts and concerns. Tinnitus is often more difficult to deal with when there is uncertainty or fear involved. Once medical evaluation has ruled out a treatable or serious disorder, education and reassurance can be extremely valuable and may be sufficient for some people. Fortunately the brain has the capacity to learn to ignore stimuli that are not essential for wellbeing. Hearing aids can be used to provide sound stimulation in several ways. They provide an excellent amplified sound, which for some hearing aid users is enough to reduce tinnitus annoyance to an acceptable level.

The archway over the front entrance, a deep front porch, the curved extension of the highest gable and the decorative woodwork that frames the mullioned windows, all lend this three-bedroom family home an air of Victorian charm. A covered porch leads through the front door into a large foyer. A den is on the right, adjacent to a two-piece powder room. A coat closet is situated near the entrance to the great room. Fitted into a bayed-out space near the back of the house, the great room boasts a dramatic vaulted ceiling, as well as a fireplace. Flowing seamlessly from this room is the dining room, occupying its own bayed-out area, which has access to a covered deck, the perfect spot for yearround barbecuing. The kitchen is separated from the other family rooms only by a raised eating bar and island, ensuring the cook will never feel isolated. The L-shaped counter configuration promises more than adequate work space, and a pantry provides extra storage. A window over the kitchen sink overlooks the back garden. From the kitchen, a doorway leads to a spacious laundry room, with a coat closet located near the entrance to the double garage, where there is enough room for a sizeable workshop. Part of the garage has an extra-high ceiling, ideal for an RV or other over-height vehicle. Up the U-shaped stairway, a railed vestibule area allows

a glimpse of the great room below. The master suite, overlooking the back garden, features a large walk-in closet. The ensuite, in a bayed-out area, offers a touch of luxury in the form of a shower stall and a soaker tub, plus double basins. The second and third bedrooms share a bathroom, also with double basins. The third bedroom features a window with an extra-deep sill. Exterior finishes include wooden shingles, painted trim, decorative wooden detailing and stone accents. This home measures 45 feet, four inches wide and 57 feet deep, for a total of 2,230 square feet of living space.

Prince Rupert LNG applies for permits Tom Fletcher Black Press As the debate over natural gas development dominates the B.C. election campaign, British Gas Group has filed a project description for its proposed liquefied natural gas plant on Ridley Island at the Port of Prince Rupert. One of the largest of five export proposals in the works for B.C.’s North Coast, Prince Rupert LNG proposes to build three production trains with a total capacity of 21 million tonnes per year, to be shipped in specialized tankers to buyers on the Pacific Rim. BG Group has a development agreement with Spectra Energy for a pipeline to bring gas from northeastern B.C. to the coast. Spectra’s Fort Nelson gas processing plant and the Prince Rupert and Kitimat areas were campaign stops for Premier Christy Clark this week, as she continues to promote LNG development as the key to prosperity for the province. The NDP again stressed its support for LNG development, rejecting B.C. Liberal suggestions that its scientific review of shale gas drilling would disrupt industry expansion plans.

The proposal calls for natural gas-fired electricity generation to supply the plant, with gas-powered mechanical drives to run the liquefaction refrigeration compressors. Powering LNG development has been controversial, with aboriginal groups in the region opposed to projects that pollute the air and leave obsolette infrastructure after gas production ends. The Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency must decide if a federal assessment of the project is needed, or if a provincial permit is sufficient. Prince Rupert LNG’s project description calls for a two-phase development, with the first phase of two LNG trains that would fill three to four ships per week. A third train would be added later, bringing output up to five to six LNG tankers per week.

Student loan forgiveness program for rural doctors and nurses

The federal government announced recently that family doctors, nurses, nurse practitioners and family medicine residents in more than 4,200 rural communities across Canada can now apply for Canada Student Loan forgiveness. The announcement was made by the Honourable Diane Finley, Minister of Human Resources and Skills Development. “By offering Canada Student Loan forgiveness, we’re doing our part to encourage health care professionals to serve Canadians in rural and remote communities where they are needed to improve access to primary care,” said Minister Finley. “This initiative is part of our Government’s commitment to strengthen health care for all Canadians.”

Student loan forgiveness is available for up to five years for work in designated communities, which are communities with an urban core population of less than 50,000, outside of provincial capitals. Employment must have started on or after July 1, 2011. This initiative applies to the federal portion of Canada student loans. Applications and information are available on CanLearn.ca. Nurses and nurse practitioners could receive up to $4,000 per year in Canada Student Loan forgiveness, to a maximum of $20,000 over five years. Family doctors and residents in family medicine could receive up to $8,000 per year, to a maximum of $40,000 over five years.

Alan Blackwood 1928 ~ 2013 Alan George Blackwood of Kelowna passed away on May 4, 2013 at the age of 84 years. He is survived by his loving wife Gladys (nee Oldhaver), daughters and sons: Lynette Patenaude, Richard (Jocelyne), Patrick (Donna), Heather (Ken) Lawrence; grandchildren: Rena Johnson, Amber (Jason) Stratton, Jolene (Dan) Fremlin, Danielle (Brett) VanderHoek, Tyler Blackwood, Garrett Blackwood, Evan Blackwood; great grandchildren: Natasha Johnson, Lukas Johnson, Drew Woodford, Bayley Stratton, Yukon Fremlin; sister Mildred (Lloyd) Flintoft and many nieces and nephews. Alan was predeceased by his sisters and brothers: Eva (Jack) Fisher, Margaret (Bill) Stokes, Edna (Ralph) Daniels, Charlie (Doreen), Ethel (Don) Stratton, Lillah (Ken) Parks, Roy (Catherine). Alan was the 9th child of William and Amelia Ann (nee McCurdy) Blackwood. He was born in Kelowna on Sept. 8, 1928 and married Gladys in 1951. Alan started with CN working tugs on Okanagan Lake in 1947 and the Athabasca River in Alberta. In 1955 they moved to Vancouver where he began his 35 year career with CP Transport taking a transfer to Williams Lake in 1965 and then back to Kelowna in 1977. Alan retired in 1988 to enjoy 18 years of “Snowbirding”. His number one hobby was his family and he and Gladys spent many years visiting one group or another. Alan loved socializing and playing cards and was involved with the Lions Club (Williams Lake and Westbank). Fishing, hunting and traveling were interests that kept him entertained for his whole life with the best times being shared with this wife Gladys, his children and grandchildren. Dad, grampa, greatgrampa will be remembered as a big Teddy Bear with a happy carefree spirit and a heart full of love. Everyone he knew will always have fond thoughts of him. A Celebration of Life will be announced at a later date. Thank You, The Family.
