MONICA LAMB-YORSKI People in Williams Lake with Adult Type 2 Diabetes are being asked to help make services better by participating in a survey. Marnie Brenner of the Interior Health Diabetes Collaborative said the survey takes about five minutes to fill out because it’s been shortened. “We had a longer one and were not getting very many responses, so we’re hoping the shorter one
will make it easier for people,” Brenner said. On Thursday she was helping Leonard English and Lester Miller fill out the surveys at the Eagle’s Nest. “We’ve been trying to find out if people have support at meetings, does it help them manage their Diabetes,” she explained. “We’ve been meeting there with people and encouraging them to bring their families.”
Since 2001, the total number of persons living with diabetes in the IH region has increased by 66 per cent and the rates in the Cariboo are especially high. “With the collaborative we’re able to meet with stakeholders in the community to make changes that are relevant to us locally,” Brenner said. A Diabetes nurse, two doctors, a mental health worker, public health worker, three patient repre-
sentatives and two pharmacists are all part of the group, and work together to create strategies that will improve care. The surveys will be available at Shoppers Drug Mart, the Atwood Clinic, Yorston Clinic, the Diabetes Clinic at Dene House, and at Brenner’s office at Public Health on the Third Floor at 487 Borland Street. Completed surveys will be entered in a draw for $25 gift certificates at local grocery stores,
City council receives a clean 2012 audit MONICA LAMB-YORSKI At its meeting May 21, city council received the 2012 audited financial statements, prepared by PMT Chartered Accountants. “We got a clean audit,” said Coun. Ivan Bonnell, a member of the finance committee. “There were no surprises with the audit
itself.” The auditors made some minor recommendations to improve internal systems which the city will address, it said in a press release. The auditors also confirmed that recommendations made in 2012 have been addressed. “Last year we had about seven items on the list to deal with and

this year there were just a few recommendations,” Bonnell said. Coun. Geoff Bourdon, also a member of the finance committee, said when the committee met with PMT one of the focuses was to try and make the statements easier to understand. “There was also minor tweaking of the time frame and our

News NDP vote stalls in reverse Dermod Travis The great thing about political punditry is the ability to be right and wrong at the same time and get away with it, which is why the pundits who were no better at predicting the outcome of the B.C. election shouldn’t be expected to be any better at interpreting the results. It’s quite simple: the B.C. Liberal party set out to win at all costs and did. They ran the better campaign, got their vote out and won. They were even willing to throw a candidate or two under the bus to do it, as witnessed by two full page ads in Victoria’s Times Colonist extolling the virtues of Green Party leader Jane Sterk paid for by none other than the B.C. Liberal Party. Fault them for their tactics, but not even the huffing and puffing of political observers over those tactics seems to resonate long with the voters who ultimately decide elections. What should be of
concern though is the emergence of an almost constant pool of voters in B.C. and an equivalent block of non-voters. In 2009, 1.65 million voters cast a ballot. In the 2011 HST referendum, 1.61 million mailed-in their vote. And last week, 1.63 million made the trek to the polls, although that number will rise slightly when absentee ballots are tallied. Looked at another way: close to half of the province’s eligible voters continue to turn their back on the ballot box. That’s not a good thing. And what lurks beneath these numbers should worry NDP operatives. In 1979 at the crest of its support, Dave Barrett and the NDP won 46 per cent of the popular vote or 646,188 votes out of 1.4 million cast. They still lost the election. Last week, Adrian Dix and the NDP won 39.5 per cent of the vote or 643,399 votes out of 1.63 million cast. Over 35 years, the
NDP has seen its share of the popular vote steadily decline and its actual vote stall, despite an electorate that has nearly doubled in size over the same period. Parties that don’t grow their base lose and risk withering away. While the Liberals grew their vote marginally over their 1979 Socred brethren, they don’t have too much to boast about either. In 1979, the Social Credit party won 677,607 votes. The B.C. Liberals pulled in 723,618 votes. B.C. voters are opting for “anything but” So who was the real winner in the voter sweepstakes last Tuesday? Anything but. In 1979, 81,282 voters opted for anything but the Socreds or the NDP. Last week that number more than tripled to 262,405. As a share of the popular vote, the percentage choosing “anything but” grew from 5.6 per cent of the popular vote to 16.1 per cent.
But it’s not just the province-wide numbers that are telling. As the Liberals showed on election night: “it’s the ridings that count stupid.” Twenty-five of B.C.’s 85 ridings had a turnout of less than 50 per cent and 19 of those were in the Lower Mainland. The award for most apathetic riding: Richmond-Centre at 38.9 per cent. Only seven ridings saw a turnout of over 60 per cent and of those the top three had one thing in common: races that engaged voters. In Oak Bay-Gordon Head, the Green Party won its first ever seat in the legislature; in Delta South, Vicki Huntington was reelected – the first independent to be so in B.C.’s history; and in Saanich North and the Islands, the NDP may very well have eked out a victory in the province’s tightest three-way race. Of course, there were the Wednesday morning quarterbacks who tried to bend the
votes of other parties so far out of shape as to claim that such-andsuch a party cost suchand-such a party the election. It may provide comfort to the defeated, but it’s an argument based more on wishful thinking than political acumen. Vote tallies can easily be moved from column-to-column after the fact, voters aren’t so easily moved before the fact. But the message for the NDP in all these numbers is ominous and it’s not just about Adrian Dix. The NDP has been nothing if not short of leaders. In the last nine elections, no less than seven have been put to the electoral test. It may have more to do with the brand. Something isn’t connecting with the voters that the NDP needs in order to win. And that soul-searching is going to be far harder on the party faithful than a leadership race ever will be.

NEWS Feeling crabby? look inside
If you drop a crab into a bucket it will usually manage to climb back out. However, if you drop two crabs into a bucket the first crab to attempt to climb out will be pulled back down by the other. When you have a bucket full of crabs you don’t even need to worry about them escaping. There will always be crabs pulling the other crabs back down. Known as “crab bucket mentality” this has become a catch phrase to describe the all too frequent thinking of “if I can’t have it neither can you.” We all have lofty aspirations in our crabby little hearts and we all have crabs close to us who feel it’s their responsibility to set our feet back on the ground. Crabs that seem ir-
ritated by our dreams and sometimes even our successes. And let’s face it, some days we’re the ones reaching for the rim and some days we’re pulling others down. Sometimes we don’t even think we’re being crabby. We’re simply feeling protective. You see a loved one teetering on the rim and you worry. It’s a long ways down and anything could happen. They might break something or maybe a seagull will gobble them up. So you pull them back down to where it’s safe and familiar. You forget “safe and familiar” is still a crab bucket, and like life, no one is going to make it out of this thing alive. Other times it’s envy.
SLICE OF LIFE SHANNON McKINNON
Strange how we always seem to be more jealous of the ones we share a bucket with than the ones we don’t. When a celebrity loses a hundred pounds we are inspired. When our best friend loses a hundred pounds we are a bit undone. If a stranger becomes a famous singer we’ll stand in line for hours to get an autograph. If a high school friend becomes a famous singer, we’re in disbelief. Why is that?
COWBOY UP! What are you wearing?
It’s as if we believe each bucket has only so much success to go around. Like a pie. If someone grabs too big of a slice there might not be enough left for the rest of us. This makes about as much sense as thinking, “Well, Joan got greedy and lost 100 pounds. Now there’s no pounds left for the rest of us to lose so we’re just going to have to stay fat. Thanks a lot Joan.” There is no pie. Each of us has everything we need already inside us, packaged up and waiting to be unwrapped. And then there’s fear of change. We seem programmed to resist change, which is odd since change is the only thing we can really count on.
A dark part of our heart wishes Joan had just been content to stay beside us in the bucket eating nachos, making excuses and complaining. If someone digs deep and manages to clamor their way out it shakes things up. It forces the rest of us to face the fact we could do it too. Now we know it’s not just crabs from other buckets that realize their dreams. Excuses are comfortable. Blaming others for pulling us down is easy. Watching Joan exit the bucket is terrifying. It’s a path out of our comfort zone. Can we overcome our excuses and make our way out too? Or will we give up and spend the rest of our lives—however long that might be— crabbing with the other
AN APPLE A DAY... It has been 25 years since a new antidepressant, Prozac (fluoxetine), came on the market. It heralded a new class of antidepressant drugs, the serotonin reuptake inhibitors. Since this discovery, there have been many other drugs that have been developed to help improve the lives of people living with depression. When journalists show a picture of a doctor, there is usually a stethoscope hanging around the doctor’s neck. In the not too distant future, this doctor symbol may be history. General Electric has developed a pocket-sized ultra-sound device doctors can carry with them to be able to do cardiac, abdominal, obstetric, urinary and pediatric exams at the bedside. It’s on the market now but is quite expensive. Blood pressure varies throughout the day. It usually peaks mid-afternoon then slowly drops to its lowest while we sleep. Coffee, smoking, exercise and stress can increase it while calming activities like medication and yoga can lower it. Having an overactive bladder and not be near a bathroom can be very disconcerting. About 20% of Canadians have this urgency to urinate. There are oral prescription medications to help this problem but may have some side effects. There is a gel available that comes in pre-measured 1 gram doses to be applied once daily to the abdomen to help control urinary urgency. See your doctor. Our pharmacists keep current on the latest advances in drug treatment. It’s part of our responsibility to lifelong learning to help us be of greater service to you, our customers.

crabs? Where is “out” anyway? I believe out is in. It’s the art of finding peace and happiness inside you. If you’re an unhappy, bitter little crab inside the bucket, you’re going to be an unhappy, bitter little crab outside the bucket. If upon learning about crab bucket mentality your first reaction is, “I knew those @#&%s were holding me back! It’s their fault I’m not happy!” you might be missing the point. The Dalai Lama is quoted as saying: “If the love within your mind is lost and you see other beings as enemies, then no matter how much knowledge or education or material comfort you have, only suffering and confusion will ensue.”
It is impossible to hate someone for how they treated you in the past, trash people for their political beliefs, mock their religious practices or give in to whatever else affronts us and still be truly happy. Hate — no matter how righteous we think it might be — is still hate and hate is what ultimately destroys us. Perhaps the happiest people of all are neither pulling someone down nor shaking someone off, but the ones who spend their lives giving others a leg up. Something to think about the next time I’m feeling crabby. Shannon McKinnon is a syndicated columnist from Northern BC. You can catch up on past columns by visiting www.shannonmckinnon.com

Poll indicates support for family funding first A new poll confirms what Kids First Parent Association of Canada has been saying for years, said the organization May 23. A large majority of Canadians prefer parental child care over any other form of child care, and would like to see funding going directly to families rather than to a daycare system. The Albion Research poll commissioned by the Institute for Marriage and Family found that 76 per cent of Canadians “believe it is best for children under six to be at home with a parent.” If this is not possible, relatives are preferred, followed by neighbourhood family daycare. Daycare centres rank dead last. Sixty one per cent of respondents said government financial support should go to families. Only 12 per cent believe the government should subsidize day-
care centres, and only 10 per cent “believe the government should expand the public school system so that daycare for children of all ages is included.” “Finally, someone asks parents what we want. The results are no surprise. Very few people prefer institutional care for children; so why does government spend billions on it? The problem lies in public funding of the daycare lobby. For example, we’re paying UBC’s Human Early Learning Partnership to lobby for $10/day daycare. Politicians need to stop this abuse of our money and respect parents; then we might have fair family policy that benefits kids by empowering parents,” said Helen Ward,
President of Kids First Parent Association of Canada. “We will be submitting a human rights complaint over the discrimination against parental child care. Child care is defined in legislation to explicitly exclude parental child care from funding. This discrimination has been extremely harmful, especially to single mothers and their children. This poll demonstrates that these laws do not even have public support,” says Ward. There are flaws in the poll however. Ward notes, “The ‘stay at home’ versus ‘at work’ terminology has got to go: parental child care is productive work. And what about the children of single parents? The Convention on the
Rights of the Child says they also have the right to be cared for by their parents.” Kids First hopes the poll may embolden politicians to revise policy and fund families on an equitable basis to better reflect diversity and parental preferences.

Assembly of First Nations supports TNG rights case Following a meeting with Tsilhqot’in Nation leadership May 16, in Williams Lake, Assembly of First Nations National Chief Shawn A-in-chut Atleo announced the National Assembly of First Nations executive will apply to intervene in the Supreme Court of Canada appeal hearing of the Tsilhqot’in Nation Aboriginal title recognition case. “This case is an important opportunity to take concrete steps forward toward reconciliation in this country,” Atleo said. s“Respect and recognition is the basis of opportunity and successful partnerships required to build a stronger sustainable future for First Nations and all Canadians.” The Supreme Court of Canada granted leave to appeal to the Tsilhqot’in Nation for their Aboriginal title recognition case in January, with the hearing currently
scheduled for Nov. 7, 2013 – one month after the 250th anniversary of the Royal Proclamation and three years since Canada endorsed the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. “Two hundred and fifty years after the Royal Proclamation and yet the security that was promised therein for First Nation lands, territories and resources remains unfulfilled,” Atleo said. “We cannot wait any longer. It a matter of human and indigenous rights, recognition and opportunity, and has tremendous economic implications for Canada. “We have a multitude of examples and decades of economic uncertainty and conflict over lack of recognition of Aboriginal title and rights. This could change the economic future for all First Nations and all of Canada.”
“In BC, historically there were few treaties, and our Nations’ lands were not lawfully acquired,” said AFN BC Regional Chief Jody Wilson-Raybould. “William is the latest in a long line of Aboriginal title and rights cases in BC that has national implications for all Indigenous peoples, and it is critical, when asked to determine the scope and extent of Aboriginal title, that the court does so in a considered, respectful and thoughtful way that takes into account Aboriginal perspectives and does justice to our peoples’ thousands of years of occupation of our territories. “Practically, this is necessary and in the interests of all Canadians, to ensure that the Crown engages and negotiates honourably and in good faith the reconciliation of Aboriginal and Crown title.” “It was such an honour to have the AFN

National Chief meet with us. It is a pure blessing for us to have his personal commitment and the support of the AFN,” said Chief Roger William, Xeni Gwet’in First Nations Government and plaintiff. “I reflect back and remember with warmth our Elders and leaders who stood up for our people and our culture in court, some of whom are no longer with us today, and I thank them – they have made this moment possible. “Woodward and Company, the David Suzuki Foundation, Western Canada Wilderness Committee and Friends of Nemiah, First Nations communities across B.C. and Canada, the Union of B.C. Indian Chiefs and the Assembly of First Nations have all supported us dearly throughout this and we will not back down – we will move forward with unity and strength.”
Tribal chair Chief Joe Alphonse, Tsilhqot’in National Government added: “We are grateful for the opportunity to meet with the national chief on nation issues that are at our forefront such as our court case and the threat to Teztan Biny/Fish Lake.” Alphonse said the invited the national Assembly of First Nations executive to participate in a spiritual visit to Teztan Biny to gain strength for this ongoing fight.” Alphonse said. The Assembly of First Nations will be filing an application for intervention within the next month and is encouraging other First Nations and advocacy organizations, human rights and environmental groups to work together with First Nations in support. The Assembly of First Nations is the national organization representing First Nations citizens in Canada.

Find a Church... ...Sponsored by the Williams Lake Minister’s Fellowship
God’s Love & Moore, Oklahoma This week I was repeatedly asked, “If God is benevolent, as love demands, then how can he allow natural disasters to occur?” Some go on to conjecture, “Don’t natural disasters prove that God is neither loving nor all powerful, and in fact, disprove his very existence?” While I certainly understand the potential pain, emotion and distrust inherent in the first question, I do not agree with their conclusion in the second question. First, God created a world ruled by natural laws. If a man steps off the roof of a five-story building, gravity will pull him to the pavement beneath. If a child steps in front of a moving truck, since two objects cannot occupy the same space at the same time, the truck will strike the child causing death. The same laws that govern gravity and matter in motion, also govern weather patterns and other geological/ meteorological conditions. All of nature is regulated by these laws, not just the parts that we find convenient. Second, some disasters may be the by-product of something that is, in fact, needful and good. Dr. Norman Geisler points out, “In a physical world where there is water for boating and swimming, some will drown. If there are mountains to climb, there must also be valleys

into which one may fall. If there are cars to drive, collisions can also occur. It may be said that tornadoes, lightning, hurricanes, and other natural disasters are likewise byproducts of a good physical world. For instance, the purpose of rain is not to flood or drown, but the result of rain may include these disasters. Likewise, hot and cold air are an essential and purposeful part of the physical world, but under certain conditions they may combine to form tornadoes. The same laws that make it possible for positive impact on human life, also introduce the possibility that things destructive
to human life may also occur. Third, natural laws are not selective nor designed to keep people free from harm. Everyone must obey them or suffer the consequences. Fortunately, natural laws work continually so that we can understand and benefit from them. We are not left to sort out some kind of haphazard system that works one day, but not the next. Often those who question God because of natural disasters often are overheard to ask, “But why can’t God ‘selectively intervene’ to prevent disasters?” The simple answer is, “We are discussing God and natural law, not fantasy and magic.” Think about this for a moment. All actions have consequences. If God suspended natural laws every time His creatures were in danger or discomfort, complete chaos would be the result and the cosmos as we know it would be destroyed forever. In closing I would like to share a couple questions that stump me when it comes to this discussion: 1) How else could an understandable, dependable world be created, and operated, other than the way ours presently is? 2) How could natural disasters be prevented, while maintaining natural laws and human freedom?

Fraser River peaks, It’s the Wild West flood warning ends zane grey
TOM FLETCHER Black Press
Spring runoff water levels have peaked on the lower Fraser River, and the high streamflow advisory was lifted Monday for the river at Quesnel, Fraser Canyon, Hope and the Lower Mainland. Fraser River levels started easing on the weekend, after the river gauge at Mission reached a high of 5.6
meters on Friday afternoon, but the river and tributaries are expected to continue to run high for the rest of the week. B.C.’s River Forecast Centre warned that the potential for heavy rain in the B.C. Interior this week could cause a further level and streamflow rise in the Lower Fraser. Upstream of Prince George, the Fraser River system peaked late last week, after
cooler and wetter than normal conditions in late April. Snow levels were near normal in most areas of B.C. after this winter. The Nechako and Vancouver Island regions had below normal snowpacks, with moderately high snow accumulations in the North Thompson, South Thompson, Okanagan Kettle and Stikine watersheds. The Upper Fraser
had the highest snowpack, more than 120 per cent of normal.

Polarized politics a costly system
B.C. VIEWS TOM FLETCHER
One benefit of the surprising fourth term for the B.C. Liberal Party is that the provincial government won’t be subjected to another big, expensive ideological remake. Taxpayers are spared a bill of millions in severance pay for deputy ministers and other senior staff who would be purged in large numbers in the left-right lurch that has defined B.C. politics for a generation. BC Ferries will continue as an arms-length operation, with ferry commissioner Gord Macatee in charge of service levels as well as fare caps. The service rationalization that the government set out in the past year will continue. The NDP platform vowed to “position BC Ferries as an integral part of B.C.’s transportation infrastructure.” Freely translated, that means “suck BC Ferries back into government,” as one of their strident supporters likes to say. That would conceal the growth of the subsidy and facilitate the kind of political and union interference that resulted in the current structure. There will be no $10 million rehash of the BC Rail sale and subsequent sevenyear trial, to enrich elite lawyers once again. The NDP promised an inquiry for strictly political reasons, to drag their op-
ponents through the scandal one more time. It was not a prelude to “nationalizing” the province’s train service, dream scenarios of the NDP provincial council notwithstanding. Costly legal confrontations over development projects have been avoided. The Jumbo Glacier Resort proponents finally won a 20-year fight for permits, and the NDP promised to take them away. A larger ideological battle over private power contracts has also been avoided. The B.C. Liberals have been caught by a sudden shift in power markets
caused by cheap, abundant natural gas, but the billions in commitments to independent power producers isn’t the fiasco that critics have described. If all those privately developed run-of-river hydro projects were owned and operated by BC Hydro, the Crown corporation would have to staff them and maintain them all for the next 40 years. There are differing views about the future demand for electricity in B.C., but it can only rise with industry and population growth. A decade of federal and provincial work to end du-
plication of environmental assessment won’t be undone. NDP leader Adrian Dix’s promise for “made in B.C.” reviews was a strategy to choke resource projects to death under endless procedure, which may yet be the fate the Jumbo resort. We will have a Seniors’ Advocate office, but it won’t be staffed up to duplicate the Ombudsperson’s role of taking complaints. That’s good, since the Ombudsperson has become ineffective, labouring for years over a massive seniors’ report with so many recommendations it sank like a stone.
We have 85 seniors’ advocates now. They’re called MLAs, and they definitely take complaints. They have staffed offices in their home communities and in Victoria. When they’re not doing political work that everyone denies is going on in constituency offices, those office staffers try to help people through the labyrinth of seniors’ athome and institutional care. A new seniors’ advocate can offer advice at the management level to help the health care system evolve, but only elected politicians are positioned to tell individuals they can’t have
what they are demanding. The government should be adding more direct services, not more bureaucrats. There will be many arguments about the failure of the NDP to win against an unpopular B.C. Liberal government that is still weighed down by the harmonized sales tax and other heavy baggage. This election could be the beginning of the end for the old left-right model for B.C. politics.

News Hepatitis C patient care advanced with new info kit In recognition of hepatitis awareness month, a set of nine new user-friendly print and electronic hepatitis C resources is now available from the BC Centre for Disease Control to help people affected by the condition, those at-risk and community services providers. The materials explain how to get tested, and provide answers to frequently asked questions, along with information on how to prepare for treatment and other issues faced by people with hepatitis C. The new resources are available by mail order or online on the BC Centre for Disease Control website: Attendance for Hepatitis C Care Project. The materials were developed through the “Attendance for Hepatitis C Care” research project led by Dr. Gail Butt. “Our interviews with patients and providers uncovered a need for educational resources that people affected could use on their own or in clinical encounters with providers that would increase engagement for hepa-
titis C services,” Butt says. “The new resources provide factual, useful tools so that people can be assured they are getting up-to-date information to help them live well with hepatitis C.” She and her team worked with many people infected with hepatitis C and health and social service providers across Canada to learn why people with hepatitis C delay, interrupt or avoid care. They then developed resources to address the issues. A key issue is the need to increase detection and management of the disease by encouraging people to get tested, access follow-up care and if necessary, treatment with anti-viral therapy. Quick Facts: • About 80,000 British Columbians are affected by hepatitis C. • Hepatitis C is a virus which is spread when there is blood-to-blood contact with someone who has the disease. •This happens most often when people who use drugs, share needles and syringes or someone accidently gets pricked by a used needle.
• It is important to have hepatitis C disease monitored because it can cause serious health problems for some but not everyone. • Hepatitis C infections can lead to serious liver disease, liver cancer or premature death. • Current treatments can cure about 65 to 75 per cent of infections, but can cause side effects • In the next two to five years, newer treatments that are now in clinical trials are expected to be able to cure greater than 90per cent of infections with significantly fewer side effects. • The project was supported by the BCCDC and the University of British Columbia, and funded by the Public Health Agency of Canada. • BCCDC co-ordinates hepatitis prevention and treatment in British Columbia through a number of ongoing activities: integration of public health and care systems, comprehensive health promotion, and, prevention and care of at-risk individuals and vulnerable populations.

Council seeks more citizen input on renewed Williams Lake branding process Williams Lake City Council is turning to local residents for more input on the city’s placebrand. Interested citizens are encouraged to share their opinions through an online survey on the Williams Lake Place Brand site – and organizers are hoping to get more participation this time around. “The brand input site has been up since last summer,” says Alan Madrigga manager, economic development. “And we want to get more participation to build on the one on one interviews and the variety of opinions we
have already recorded.” The first brand presented featured the tagline “Welcome to the Republic of Life” which was aimed at “30-something” people who are looking for a great small town where they can live, work, and raise a family. The concept was meant to be a modern take on the area’s cowboy heritage, and it resonated strongly with the intended audience. However, once it got out into the community it generated a lot of controversy. As a result, council has decided to go back to the people for more input.
“Our goal is to arrive at something which captures the imagination of the young people we are trying to attract and which works for those who live here now,” says Madrigga. “The fact is that we need a strong brand to use in marketing Williams Lake to the outside world. It is a basic
tool for community development in the 21st century.” Mayor Kerry Cook explains that Williams Lake is competing against many other similar rural cities to attract new residents and new investment. “Attracting more population is important to maintaining and
growing existing services and businesses,” she says. “If we’re going to build a sustainable economic future, we absolutely have to find a way to attract young families who will help build entrepreneurial energy and skilled workforce.” Mayor Cook points
to Red Shreds, and Barking Spider bike shops, the Sandpiper Fly Fishing shop, Juniper Trails B&B, and a variety of industrial supply contractors and stores as the types of dynamic businesses that are reflective of local lifestyle pursuits, and industry based opportunities that help at-
tract people to the area. “We want to create new momentum by showcasing our competitive strengths – both old and new – to bring in a diversity of people.” Participate in the Williams Lake Place Brand online survey at www. mywilliamslake.placebrand.ca, and watch the site for news.

1172 N. 2nd Avenue, Williams Lake Williams Lake and District Kidsport chapter representatives Denise Skarra, Pat Radolla and Mike Franklin (4th from left) gladly accept a cheque for $4,000 from Williams Lake McDonald’s owners Maureen (centre) and Jim Knowles. The money was raised throughout the year from every Happy meal purchase, as well as from McHappy Day on May 8 and from a fun run McDonald’s hosted recently. Kidsport provides funding to cover the cost of sport registration for families in need. Photo submitted
SPCA activity open house Saturday The Williams Lake and District Branch of the BC SPCA is hosting an open house an animal-themed day of fun this Saturday, May 25 from 1 to 4 p.m. Highlights of the Open House include kids’ activities, educational displays, shelter tours, face painting and refreshments. Manager Lorie Chortyk says the open house event is an opportunity for people to meet the animals available for adoption and to have fun learning more about how to help animals in the community. In addition to a day of activities for the whole family the branch will promote the joy of pet guardianship over the weekend, May 24 to 26, with half-price adoption fees on all cats, kittens and rabbits. “We’re also asking members of the community to help animals in need by dropping off urgently needed items for the shelter,” says local general manager Lorie Chortyk. The co-sponsor of the open house is Hill’s Canada which supplies food for animals at SPCA shelters. She
says their wish list of donations includes Hill’s brand wet cat and dog food and red or black KONG toys, patio umbrellas to help shade the dogs when they are playing outside during the summer, and digital cameras. The branch is also in need of a few loads of gravel for dog pens if anyone in the community is able to help with that need, Chortyk says. “We are really excited to continue our ongoing partnership with the BC SPCA for the Annual Open House series,” says Brian Howard, general manager for Hill’s®Canada. Chortyk says the BC SPCA is extremely grateful to Hill’s for its continuing support. “Hill’s is a champion of homeless animals, not only through their sponsorship of our open house series, but in their ongoing support of the dogs and cats in our care,” Chortyk says. Hill’s donates free dry food for all dogs, cats, puppies and kittens in BC SPCA branches across the province to ensure that
the animals receive a high quality and consistent pet food. “With the free bag of Science Diet® we also give with every adoption, our hope is that new pet guardians will continue the feeding regimen the BC SPCA has started, for a lifetime of health and happiness for their pet,” Howard says.
The BC SPCA adopts more than 16,000 animals each year through its 36 branches. All animals adopted from the BC SPCA are vetchecked, vaccinated and altered (spayed or neutered), and assessed for temperament. For more information about the Open House series, visit spca.bc.ca. ( ad 1A )
If you consider your bank a “loved one”, then protecting them with mortgage insurance makes sense. When you’re approved for a mortgage, your lender will offer to sell you mortgage insurance. But you should know you have more flexible options by choosing term insurance from an insurance company. Call me today. And we can discuss which loved ones you’d rather protect.

New outreach clinic available for MS patients Beginning in June, Multiple Sclerosis (MS) patients in Kamloops and the surrounding region will have the opportunity to access care closer to home at a new outreach clinic based at Royal Inland Hospital. MS is an unpredictable, often disabling disease of the central nervous system. Due to the complex nature of MS, patients require the expertise of a neurologist and specially trained nurse, Interior Health noted in a press release. The Kamloops outreach clinic represents
an expansion in service, allowing patients who would ordinarily have travelled to Kelowna or the Lower Mainland the option of being seen at Royal Inland for a consultation with local neurologist Dr. Mudassir Iqbal. A nurse from the MS clinic at Kelowna General Hospital will travel once a month for two days to support Kamloops area patients. The MS clinic in Kelowna will continue to provide day-to-day support for all MS patients within Interior Health. “Patients from the
western region of Interior Health, including the Cariboo, North Thompson, and the Shuswap, now have the opportunity to see a neurologist in Kamloops for consultations instead of travelling to Kelowna or the lower mainland,” says Interior Health board chair Norman Embree. There are currently approximately 800 MS patients living within Interior Health. About one third of these patients reside within the region served by Royal Inland. “A Kamloops-based clinic is an option we
have long advocated for,” says Dr. Paul Dagg, Chair of the MS Society Kamloops Chapter. “We know for many patients travelling long distances can be not only inconvenient but also challenging to manage depending on their symptoms.” The outreach clinic will use space in the Cancer Clinic on the eighth floor of Royal Inland and will serve approximately 10 patients per day. The first appointments will occur June 5/6.
Hiebert promotes transparency bill MP Russ Hiebert appeared before the Senate Banking Committee Wednesday to testify about the importance of passing his Bill C-377 which will require public financial disclosure by labour organizations. “My bill follows in the tradition of other transparency legislation the Senate has passed recently, including the Accountability Act, and also C-27 which requires financial
transparency for native reserves,” said Mr. Hiebert. “C-377 will help Canada catch up to the US, the UK, France, Germany and Australia in having public financial disclosure of labour organization finances.” “The fundamental premise behind C-377 is that the public is providing a substantial benefit, and they should know how that benefit is being used,” Mr. Hiebert explained
to Senators. “After all, charities, which also receive substantial benefits from the public, have been publicly reporting on their finances for the past 36 years, now.” Mr. Hiebert indicated that C-377 is both constitutional and will not violate individual privacy. “C-377 does not attempt to regulate labour organizations in any way, compel them to spend money, or
dictate how they may spend their money,” said Mr. Hiebert. “And, amendments I made to C-377 when it was in the House of Commons eliminated any uncertainty about the fact that pension plans, health benefit plans and other regulated plans will not be required to report under C-377 and that benefit payments to individuals from such registered plans will not be reportable.”

B.C.-made Canyon War documentary to air in U.S. An award-winning B.C. documentary is making its international broadcast premier on the Public Broadcasting Service this weekend. Canyon War: The Untold Story, will be broadcast by Seattle’s PBS station, KCTS-9, Saturday, May 25 at 7 p.m. and will also be aired by KYVE-Yakima. The documentary chronicles the First Nations-miner conflict in the Fraser Canyon during the 1858 gold rush.
A ground-breaking film shot on location in the Fraser Canyon in 2008, Canyon War was made possible by a partnership between the Ministry of Aboriginal Relations and Reconciliation, the New Pathways to Gold Society (NPTGS), Heritage Canada, CN and BC150. “The acquisition of Canyon War by one of the most respected public broadcasting stations in North America is a significant achievement in which the New
Pathways to Gold Society takes great pride,” said Cheryl Chapman, NPTGS First Nations co-chair. “This documentary is a showcase for First Nations reconciliation, which is one of our core principles,” adds Terry Raymond, NPTGS co-chair. Canyon War is one of the most successful projects produced by NPTGS, a community-based organization dedicated to continued reconciliation with First Nations, invest-
ment in B.C. heritage and economic development. The documentary is vividly brought to life by co-hosts Kevin Loring (Governor General Award-winning playwright and actor from the Lytton First Nation) and Dr. Dan Marshall of the University of Victoria. Loring’s ancestors resisted the thirty to forty thousand gold seekers who flooded into the Fraser River in 1858 while Marshall’s descendants were among the gold-

seekers. Directed by B.C. filmmaker Eva Wunderman of Wunderman Film, Canyon War: The Untold Story earned a platinum award at WorldFest, the Houston International Film Festival, in 2010. It took the top prize in
the festival’s Television and Cable Productions Cultural category. Canyon War also took honours at the New York International Independent Film and Video Festival (NYIIFVF) earlier in 2010. The documentary made its regional tele-
vision debut on Knowledge in January 2010 and was broadcast nation-wide on APTN in September of that year. KCTS and KYVE have a combined International audience of nearly 2.5 million viewers in Washington State and B.C.

A variety of exterior finishes – including wooden shingles, board-and-batten siding and brick accents – lend this two-storey family home, which includes an unfinished basement and a loft area, an aura of oldfashioned charm. The open-plan great room, dining room and kitchen are located at the back of the home, with access through French doors to a covered patio. The great room and dining room boast a dramatic sloped ceiling, and a gas fireplace in the great room will make the area a magnet for family activities during the cooler months. Part of the great-room ceiling is open to the second floor. The kitchen is divided from the other rooms by a generous eating bar with room for four places. Conveniently situated just behind the eating bar is a large walk-in pantry. The L-shaped counter configuration will save the cook steps, and there’s a window over the double sink. In the master suite, part of the ceiling is double-height for a touch of drama. A linen closet is located just outside the suite. The ensuite includes double basins, as well as a soaker tub and shower stall. Beyond is the capacious walk-in closet. Up the U-shaped staircase are the two secondary bedrooms, which share a three-piece bath and a linen closet. The loft area, lit by a skylight, could see use as
a home office, studio or rainy-day playroom. Two area open to the lower floor are protected by railings. Back on the main floor, a study to the left of the foyer features large windows that overlook the front porch. The laundry room has access to the double garage and will serve as a mud room. A two-piece powder room near the stairwell completes the lay-out. Ceilings throughout are nine feet high. This home measures 40 feet wide and 58 feet deep, for a total of 2,162 square feet of living space.

The Canadian Artist Rose Series Jean Atkinson Richbar Golf and Gardens First there was the Explorer series of hardy shrub roses with names like ‘Henry Hudson’ and ‘John Cabot’, then the Parkland series , which included ‘Adelaide Hoodless’ and ‘Morden Blush’. All these hardy shrub roses were developed in Canada, for Canadian gardens, so they are meant to be tough. The Canadian Artist series is the latest in rose breeding. The four roses in this series include Emily Carr, Felix Leclerc, Bill Reid and the newest release, Campfire, named after Tom Thomson’s famous painting. All individual Canadian artists with different talents and unique styles just like
the roses that bear their names. I suggest the Emily Carr Rose to customers who are looking for a rose that makes a good groundcover. It has a height of .9m and a
spread of 1.25m. Emily Carr produces dark red flowers from late spring to late summer. The deep red colour will really pop out at you if planted in the front of a green backdrop of cedars
or a cotoneaster hedge. Grow this rose in full sun but be careful it is in well-drained soil as it does not tolerate wet feet. The French-Canadian s i n g e r- s o n g w r i t e r, Felix Leclerc was the inspiration for this beautiful climbing rose. The growth habit is arching and its 2m height lends itself to be trained to climb on a structure. The double flowers are hot pink and bloom from late spring to late summer. A hardy, yellow rose that blooms for a significant period of time and doesn’t fade in colour is hard to find, but the plant breeders have captured this quality in the Canadian Artist rose ‘Bill Reid’. It also has a compact habit and old fashioned fragrance. The
Pros of automatic irrigation
Another advantage is that irrigation systems, particularly the drip type, can be positioned so that water is more effectively targeted
where it is needed. Nozzles can be adjusted and underground drip tubes will deliver water right to the roots, rather than
spraying walkways and driveways. Another advantage is that automatic irrigation systems are generally hidden from view, which means there are no unsightly hoses stretched across the lawn and no more tripping hazards. Sprinkler heads pop up to spray and then retract when the job is done. Underground drip systems do their work out of view. For families with young children and pets who share outdoor spaces, automatic systems may be a safer option.

s... y Beat obod Hi Amy
Water is essential to keeping a lawn or garden in good health. The trouble with watering is that it can be timeconsuming, especially if your idea of watering is standing outside with the hose. But thanks to irrigation systems, watering has become a lot less hands-on. An irrigation sprinkler or drip system takes much of the work out of watering a landscape. Some can also be fitted to deliver fertilizer and weed-prevention products to a lawn. But before any digging takes place, homeowners might want to learn about the advantages and disadvantages of irrigation systems. One of the most obvious advantages is the time savings afforded by an automatic sprinkler or drip irrigation system. Once installed, many systems can be set to a timer to water at specific time intervals and on certain days of the week. This means there’s no need to worry about forgetting to water the lawn and coming back from vacation to find crisp, yellow grass.
Bill Reid rose is ideal for tight spaces or planted in groups. The newest addition to the series is the beautiful ‘Campfire’, named after a painting by one of my favorite artists, Tom Thomson. Being from the Cariboo many of you will be able to conjure up the colours of a campfire. This lovely rose begins with buds of yellow and red tones, and then opens yellow edged in deep rosy pink. They claim it has one of the best disease resistances of all hardy roses. I also like the compact form with a .9m height and spread. All these roses are hardy to zone 3 and once established exhibit good drought tolerance. We invite you to join us for a free seminar on “How to Use Roses in the Landscape” on

Xeriscape gardening Have you had it with spending hours of your hot summer days out watering in the evening? Maybe you have considered xeriscape gardening (Water Wise) and want to go the next step, reducing your garden chores. So now what? Here are 8 basic steps to get you started. 1: Planning and Design. As with any new project, planning is key to avoid mistakes that may lead to extra work or costs. Gather your information before you start, using the many resources now available, whether on-line, in the library, or from knowledgeable local gardeners and garden centres. The first step is then to sketch out the yard area to be created or renovated and assess areas for sun, shade and natural moisture so that you can plan plantings appropriately. 2: Improve the soil. In this area, we tend to have either heavy clay or sandy soils, both of which need to have organic matter added to improve soil quality. Adding compost, aged manure or peat moss may be appropriate given your own specific situation. 3. Water Wise Lawns. If a green lawn all summer is your priority, minimize your overall lawn area to
Reduced mowing and watering time, with climate adapted, less stressed plants means more time to relax and enjoy summer in your garden. reduce the quantity of water needed to keep it green. Some grass species are also more drought-hardy than others, so consult your garden centre on the best choice for your lawn. Alternatively, many people are now choosing to let their lawns follow the natural weather cycles and allow their lawns to ‘go gold’ for the summer. The grass is still alive and will green up again when the moisture returns. 4. Water efficiently and appropriately. Plan your approach to watering as you plan your garden. Soaker hoses work well to water gardens, shrubs and trees. Avoid
sprinklers that throw water high into the air, as much of this water is lost to evaporation. Follow local sprinkler restrictions. Water only between 6 pm and 9 am when more of the water used will actually get to the plants, and don’t water when it is windy or raining - it is hard for City residents that are making their own Water Wise efforts to see neighbours wasting our limited aquifer water supply on their own lawns in a rainstorm. 5. Select plants appropriate for the climate and group according to water needs. Most of our local garden centres now carry xeriscape, or ‘drought-

hardy’ plants. These are not plants that all look like cactuses - they are plants that are adapted to our climate and soils, and there is a wide variety of options to choose from. Not only do they need much less water to do well, they also tend to start earlier in the spring and last longer into the fall, extending the length of your garden season. Their needs are being met by the local environment, so they need less care, maintenance and fewer fertilizers. Group plants
together according to their water requirements, so you can keep higher water use ones together and plant these in areas where there may be natural water drainage. 6. Mulch to reduce evaporation… and cool the roots of your plants, reduce weed growth, slow erosion and ‘finish’ your garden. Mulch is your gardening ally, and as it breaks down will also improve the soil. There are many things you can use as mulch, such as wood chips, leaves, grass clippings and compost. Mulch 7-10 cm deep, keep it away from plant stems and top up regularly. 7. Rain Barrel. Even a xeriscape garden will need water in times of prolonged drought. Reduce your use of our limited town drinking water supply by collecting water in rain barrels for use in your garden. 8. Maintenance. No garden is maintenance free, and although xeriscape maintenance chores are much like any other garden, you will find it takes significantly less time to keep things looking good. Good Luck and Happy

Too hot to fly: summer airline pet embargoes Kim Salerno If you’re traveling with your pet this summer and plan to fly to your destination, make sure you familiarize yourself with the airline’s pet embargo policy before you book your flight. During the summer, many airlines don’t allow pets aboard flights-as checked baggage or as cargo-when temperatures are high. Airline pet embargoes are in the best interest of your pet and play a vital role in ensuring his safety. Not only is air travel stressful for your pet, but it can also pose serious health risks. Being confined in his carrier for long periods of time during the hottest months of the year is potentially dangerous for your pet and may lead to dehydration and heatstroke. In addition, certain breeds, such as brachycephalic (snub-nosed) dogs and cats, are susceptible to pulmonary distress when temperatures are extreme. The International Pet and Animal Transportation Association (IPATA), embargoes protect pets from exposure to extreme heat while they’re in the holding areas and terminal facilities, while moving them between terminals and aircraft, or while they’re on an aircraft awaiting departure. “Heat embargoes are critical during the summer months,” says Sally Smith, past president of IPATA. “They protect our pets and keep them safe and comfortable while traveling.” Since airlines impose embargoes to ensure your pet’s safety, there are no exceptions. However, if an embargo is in effect on the day of your flight, the airline will work with you to re-route your flight, if possible, or schedule your flight for another day. Although each air-
line establishes its own policies for pet embargoes, the following are a few commercial airlines and some of their regulations. Alaska Airlines - Although Alaska Airlines doesn’t have any embargoes scheduled this summer, if temperatures are too high for pets to travel safely, they may place an embargo. However, your pet may travel with you in the cabin if he fits in an approved carrier that can be placed under your seat. American Airlines - To ensure your pet isn’t exposed to extreme heat, American Airlines imposes an embargo any time the current or forecasted temperature is above 85 degrees Fahrenheit at any location on the itinerary. However, if your pet fits in an approved carrier that can be placed under your seat, he can travel with you in the cabin. Delta Air Lines - To ensure the safety of your pet, Delta places an embargo on pets as checked baggage from May 15 through September 15. If at any point-origin, transit, destination-the temperature is forecast to be above 85 degrees Fahrenheit-or 75 degrees Fahrenheit for brachycephalic petsyour pet can’t travel. However, your pet may be able to fly as cargo via the Summer Live Animal Program. (Restrictions apply, particularly for brachycephalic pets.) Launched in 2011, the program, which is in effect from May 15 through October 15, lifts temperature restrictions and provides safe transportation of your pet in select cities. Delta Cargo uses climatecontrolled vans to pick up and deliver your pet to or from the plane, holding areas, and cargo facilities. Your pet is also loaded or unloaded according to specific time frames.

In addition, your pet may travel with you in the cabin if he fits in an approved carrier that can be placed under your seat. Southwest Airlines - Since Southwest Airlines doesn’t allow pets to travel as checked baggage or in the cargo hold, they don’t impose pet embargoes. Your small cat or dog can travel with
you in the cabin in an approved carrier that is small enough to fit under your seat. Since each airline has a different summer pet embargo policy, visit TripsWithPets. com and review our Airline Pet Policies. And don’t forget to review our Pet Travel Tips for Flying and check out the airlineapproved carriers at the TWP Store.
Your pet’s safety is your top priority. Choosing an airline that fits your needs can help ensure the flight is a positive experience for both you and your pet.

are welcome, happy, and safe when traveling.
