Consumer advocates applaud new cellphone code JEFF NAGEL Black Press Consumer advocates are applauding a new wireless code of conduct that lets Canadians cancel mobile phone contracts without penalty after two years and sets caps on data roaming charges. The new code, unveiled Monday by federal regulators, applies on new contracts for mobile phones and other devices starting Dec. 2. Besides the ability to escape three-year contracts without fees after two years, the new CRTC rules cap data overage

fees at $50 a month and national and international data roaming fees at $100 a month, unless the user explicitly wants to use more. “Canadians may finally now be freed of the worst of cellphone bill shock,” Public Interest Advocacy Centre executive director John Lawford said. “We hope that consumers will now be able to enjoy their wireless service fully and without fear.” He said the code should reduce the mobile device costs of many users. “It also makes it easier to switch companies because

those costs are limited and are clear,” Lawford said. Individuals and small business users will also be able to have their phones unlocked after 90 days or immediately if they paid the full price. A 15-day return option is also promised to those who are unhappy with service, along with an easy-to-read contract and an ability to accept or decline key changes to a contract. “The wireless code will contribute to a more dynamic marketplace by making it possible for Canadians to discuss their needs with service providers at

least every two years,” CRTC chair Jean-Pierre Blais said. It’s not yet clear how major phone companies will react to the new rules. “We already do a lot of what is in the new code,” Telus spokesman Shawn Hall said in an emailed statement. He said Telus replaced contract cancellation charges with a device balance some years ago and already offers phone unlocking and a cap on international data roaming. “We are thus well positioned to support this new code,” Hall said, calling it “a strong and friendly set of protections.”

News Cabinet order raises staff salaries

Tom Fletcher Black Press The NDP opposition came out swinging Tuesday, releasing cabinet orders that allow for large pay increases for senior political staff in government ministries and Premier Christy Clark’s office. Cabinet orders dated June 3 provide for an 18 per cent increase to the maximum salary for the premier’s chief of staff, from $195,148 to $230,000 per year. The orders provide for a salary range, so the salary currently paid to Clark’s chief of staff, Dan Doyle, is not known. Another order provides for Clark’s new

deputy chief of staff, Michele Cadario, to be paid a salary of $195,148. Cadario, deputy campaign manager in the B.C. Liberals’ successful election campaign, replaces Kim Haakstad, who resigned before the election over improper political activities in the party’s ethnic outreach strategy. NDP MLA John Horgan said the move is particularly inappropriate as the government prepares to comb its operations for cost savings to meet its balanced budget target. “It certainly seems to me that the first day cabinet meets, their priority is not the people of Brit-

ish Columbia, it’s their political pals,” Horgan said. “In the case of the deputy chief of staff, yesterday this individual would have been paid $144,000 a year. Today that position is $195,000. Nice work if you can get it.” Finance Minister Mike de Jong said the increases reflect new positions and additional responsibilities, and don’t mean extra costs for taxpayers. The extra money is from “reallocations from within, but the overall budget will be the same,” de Jong said. Among those new positions is the promotion of some ministerial assistants to “chiefs of staff ”

within each government ministry, making them responsible

I left my ice cream in San Francisco I had an opportunity to visit San Francisco a couple weeks ago. Between work and keeping up with things around here we rarely go anywhere, so despite being the busiest time of the year for gardening— not to mention work—I couldn’t resist. I have a good friend and neighbour who checks in on our horses and sheep while we’re away, but it seemed a bit much to ask her to look after the garden, greenhouse and bedding plants as well. So I overwatered the plants, left the greenhouse open a crack, prayed we wouldn’t get a frost and away we went. San Francisco is a beautiful city full of vibrant, friendly people. It is also full of hills. It has 43 altogether and all of them are steep. We took a tour bus down to Pier 39 and on the way the guide mentioned a place on the pier

SLICE OF LIFE SHANNON McKINNON

called Norman’s famous for making the best ice cream in San Francisco. That caught my attention. Despite my healthy intentions, I have a weakness for ice cream. Tell me it’s the best ice cream in a city of almost a million people and my hand is already twitching towards my wallet. I once wrote about our trip to the Maritimes a couple years ago that was punctuated with daily waddles to a local ice cream franchise called COWS.

By the time our holiday was over I was packing seven extra pounds home with me and it wasn’t in my luggage. It was ill gotten gains from too much choosing between Wowey Cowey and Gooey Mooey instead of apples or carrots. After a walk about the pier we stumbled across Norman’s—in other words I sleuthed it out after a frantic search. Vowing this would be a one-time indulgence rather than a daily deal like when we were in the Maritimes, we even opted for a small serving in a cup instead of a waffle cone. When Darcy suggested we walk back to our hotel instead of taking the bus to burn off some of the calories, I agreed and headed for a small table outside the door of Norman’s. Darcy struck off down the sidewalk. “What? Right now?”

I asked, with my spoon poised in front of my face. “Why not?” said Darcy. “We’ll eat as we stroll.” There were 43 “why not’s” and all of them were hills. As we climbed and climbed and then climbed some more we passed a couple fellows training for possibly Mount Everest. They ran down the hill and then up again, only this time backwards. We waved our ice cream spoons at them as we passed. By the fourth block we had done the unthinkable. We had ditched uneaten ice cream—the best ice cream in San Francisco--into a trash can. It was impossible to eat with our tongues hanging out. And then it got worse. For reasons we are still working out we managed to get hopelessly lost. In most Oceanside cities it is easy enough to get your

bearings. If you’re going uphill you know you’re going away from the ocean; downhill and you know you’re going towards it. Such is not the case in San Francisco. The ups and downs are meaningless. Darcy finally summoned Siri on his iPhone and asked for directions to Union Square. He failed to mention we were in San Francisco. We had made our way up and down seven more blocks before we discovered there is also a Union Square in New York and Siri was attempting to guide us through that fine city instead. Eventually we found our way to our hotel. Having burned up a gazillion calories we could very well have ended the trip by leaving a few pounds—along with our ice cream—in San Francisco. We could have. Unfor-

tunately we spotted Macy’s on the edge of Union Square. Or more importantly, the restaurant within... The Cheesecake Factory! The sun shot out from the fog, angels sang and we stumbled on aching feet towards the elevators and shot up eight floors to our new goal. What little I tasted of Norman’s ice cream was pretty darn good, but sitting down to that plateful of cheese cake was bliss. Oh, and the Golden Gate Bridge, the Giants game, the Golden Gate Park with its incredible Japanese gardens and finally getting to see Haight and Ashbury were all pretty good too. And coming home to happy, healthy animals and a garden that somehow managed to double in size in only six days? Priceless. Shannon McKinnon is a syndicated columnist from Northern BC.

AN APPLE A DAY... The term “off-label drugs” refers to the use of a drug for a condition it’s not approved for. A good example of this is using a drug used to treat high blood pressure and heart failure to relieve the anxiety of going on stage. Another is using an anti-malarial drug to treat night time leg cramps. Diphtheria, a serious, contagious disease, has largely been eradicated with only two cases being reported this century. A German physiologist, Emil von Behring, won the Nobel Prize in 1901 for his work in developing an anti-diphtheria vaccine. Allergies are common at this of year. Can you outgrow an allergy? About 20% of people do. Many children outgrow their allergies to milk and eggs by the age of five. If you have an allergic child, check with an allergy specialist who can test for allergies and tell you the severity of the allergies your child has. It’s ironic that society equates a tanned body with good health. However, as Health Canada says, “there’s no such thing as a healthy tan”. Tanning is a sign of skin damage and excessive exposure to the sun can cause skin cancers in the future. If you want a quick, tanned look, you can try those quick tan lotions. Remember, they do not protect you from the sun. They are just cosmetic colourants. For advice on allergy and sunscreen products, talk to our pharmacists.

Coincidences produce surprising moments I find coincidences interesting, that coming together of seemingly unrelated people at surprising moments, that “six degrees of separation” idea. A few minutes on either side of the moment would likely completely change that very moment, itself – what a concept! I had one of those moments and I’m thinking telling you about it might increase your awareness of the same in your own life. When I moved to Williams Lake almost two decades ago, I was working in an organization that had a very large volunteer pool of specially-trained individuals.

CORNER STORIES COLLEEN CROSSLEY

One day I agreed to sit at the receptionist’s desk while she had a break. After a few quiet minutes, a young lady walked in, new to town and interested in volunteering for the organization. She had been appropriately-trained elsewhere and had the qualifications required

so I started to make a note of her contact information. I asked her last name and, when she said “Morse,” I told her that had been my maiden name - funny. I asked her if she spelled her name “Morris” or “Morse” and she said Morse interesting. We laughed at how often it was spelled the “wrong” way. We went on with the forms and, when I noted her previous address as Nova Scotia, I told her my Dad’s whole family had come from Nova Scotia. We joked that we might even be related. We started talking more and ……. sure

enough, we are related! She called relatives in Nova Scotia who had been compiling a family tree and it turned out she is my ninth cousin. What a great discovery and the best part was the realization that, had it been minutes before or after the receptionist’s break, I would not have met her or known anything about her except, perhaps, her first name, the way volunteers were referred to in the organization. We were intrigued by the fact that, since my job required minimal volunteer contact, if she had come to the agency a few minutes earlier or later, we would never have made

the family connections. One more quick one ... when I visit my son, I have to take a ferry. On one visit, I was placed on the ferry, both going and coming back, in exactly (no kidding) the same spot – one car back from the front of the boat and two cars in from the centre post on the second car deck! In view of the complete randomness of ferry loading, it was almost spooky.

Sierra Club weighs in on pipeline spill Kinder Morgan’s TransMountain pipeline sprung a leak Wednesday southwest of Merritt. The company says the spill has been contained with less than 12 barrels - or 2,000 litres of crude oil - spilled. Kinder Morgan spokesperson Andy Galarnyk said in a press release that the spill was discovered during regular maintenance on Wednesday afternoon (June 12) along Highway 3 near Kingsvale. Thursday morning, the National Energy Board said it was responding to a “crude oil release” on the pipeline. The NEB said in a press release that it received an incident

report late Wednesday afternoon, and the pipeline has been shut down to prevent more oil from being released into the environment. “There is no immediate safety concern for local residents and precautions are being taken to ensure continued public safety,” the NEB said in a press release. “Our emergency response team is on site,” NEB Communications Advisor Rebecca Taylor told the Herald. “They’re overseeing the immediate response and making sure that it’s all going appropriately.” Taylor added that the first member of the response team to

make it to the site is based out of Kelowna. The spill proves that building a second pipeline to ship Alberta bitumen along B.C.’s south coast is a dangerous idea, said Sarah Cox, Sierra Club BC interim executive director in a press release June 13. “The accident near Merritt shows that B.C. is not immune to potentially disastrous oil spills,” Cox said. “It’s proof positive that we need to reject Kinder Morgan’s proposal to build a second pipeline in order to ship tar sands bitumen past Victoria and the Gulf Islands.”

In many ways, today’s kids have busier schedules than any previous generation of youngsters. Many extracurricular activities, including sports, require a nearly year-round commitment, and the dual-income household has landed many kids in afterschool programs where kids tend to their schoolwork or engage in various activities that keep them from resting on their laurels. But those busy schedules get a lot less hectic when the school year ends. Once school is out, kids used to a full schedule might find themselves with lots of time on their hands. Though it’s good for kids to squeeze in some rest and relaxation dur-

ing their summer break, it’s also important for kids to stay active so they don’t develop poor habits as the summer goes on. In addition, the American Psychological Association notes that kids who are physically active are more capable of coping with stress and tend to have higher self-esteem than kids who do not include physical activity as part of their regular routines. The following are a few suggestions for parents looking for ways to keep their kids active throughout the summer while still allowing them to recharge their batteries after a long school year. * Plan an active vacation. Summer is when many families go on

Have a Safe and Happy Summer! Cariboo-Chilcotin Teachers’ Association Local 27 - B.C. Teachers’Federation

vacation, so why not choose a vacation that involves more than napping poolside? Though it’s still good to leave some time for relaxation, find a locale where you can embrace activities like snorkeling, hiking, kayaking, or other adventures that get you and your youngsters off the poolside chaise and out exploring. Such a trip might inspire kids to embrace an activity more fully, getting them off the couch not only while they’re on vacation but also when they return home for the rest of summer. * Teach kids to garden. Gardening might be seen as a peaceful and relaxing hobby, but it still requires a lot of elbow grease and hard work that pays physical dividends. A garden must be planted, hoed, weeded, and watered, and gardening gets kids out of the house to enjoy the great outdoors. When growing a vegetable garden, kids might embrace the chance to be directly involved in the foods that will eventually end up on their dinner tables. Parents

can embrace this as an opportunity to teach the value of eating locallyproduced foods and the positive impact such behavior has on the environment. * Go swimming. Few adults who work in offices haven’t looked out their windows on a sunny summer day and thought how nice it would be to be spending that afternoon making a few laps in a lake, at the beach or in a pool. Kids have the same daydreams during the summer, so take a day off every so often and take the kids for an afternoon of swimming. Swimming is a great activity that exercises the entire body, including the shoulders, back, legs, hips, and abdominals. In addition, swimming helps kids and adults alike maintain a healthy weight while also improving their cardiovascular health. It’s hard for some people to find a place to swim once the warm weather departs, so take advantage of the summer weather and go swimming as often as possible while the kids are not in school.

* Limit how much time kids spend watching television, playing video games or surfing the Internet. Many of today’s kids are as tech savvy as they are busy. But it’s important that kids don’t spend too much time online or on the couch watching television or playing video games. Such activities are largely sedentary, and they can set a bad precedent for the months ahead, even when the school year begins once again. Parents should limit how much time their youngsters spend in front of the television or the computer during summer vacation, keeping track and turning the TV or computer off if they suspect kids are spending too much time staring at the screen instead of being active. Kids might not love it when you turn their video games off or minimize their access to social media, but explain the limitations at the onset of summer and let kids know you expect them to be physically active even if it is summer vacation.

School’s Out For Summer! Music education can help with school skills Music’s efficacy as a teaching tool has long been studied. Though some still doubt if music has any effect on student performance, a strong body of evidence suggests otherwise. Studies into the effects of music on learning are nothing new. Such studies have been conducted for decades, gaining popularity during the 1950s when research was done on something called the “Mozart Effect.” The Mozart Effect theorizes that listening to Mozart can temporarily improve performance and may even boost a person’s IQ. In response, many parents started playing Mozart and other classical music in their homes. By the late 1990s, Baby Einstein, a company that offers a wide range of developmental and entertainment products

Learning to play an instrument can pay dividends inside the classroom. for babies and toddlers, released a series of CDs and videos that prominently featured classical music amid visual learning sequences for young children. “Baby Mozart,” “Baby Bach” and “Baby Beethoven” were just a few of the videos capitalizing on the evidence that children learn more when exposed to classical music.

Ongoing research continues to support the theory that music education can help children on many levels. In Canada, a research group from McMaster University conducted their own study into music education. That study, which was published in the journal Brain in 2006, examined two groups of children, ages 4 to 6. Each were taught

the same lessons, but one group was also given musical instruction. The study found that the group of children who received musical instruction scored much better than their peers in literacy, mathematics, IQ, and memory skills. Long Island University researchers Joseph Piro and Camilo Ortiz found that children exposed to a multi-year program of music instruction, involving training in increasingly complex rhythmic, tonal, and practical skills, displayed superior cognitive performance in reading skills compared to their peers who did not receive musical training. The authors concluded that, “because neural response to music is a widely distributed system within the brain, it would not be unreasonable to ex-

pect that some processing networks for music and language behaviors, namely reading, located in both hemispheres of the brain would overlap.” Music education is not just for the average student. Other research shows it may be beneficial to children with dyslexia and other learning disabilities. A study completed at Stanford University showed that mastering a musical instrument improves the ability to process parts of the spoken language. The researchers believe that additional research might develop a way to use the knowledge obtained in the study to increase language development for individuals with dyslexia or cognitive disorders. In many schools, music education is being

Expense cleanup must continue

B.C. VIEWS TOM FLETCHER

As she unveiled her new cabinet, Premier Christy Clark promised a “lineby-line” review of government spending to deliver a balanced budget this year. Statements such as this would have more credibility if politicians subjected their own personal spending to the same scrutiny. That’s still not happening in B.C. Expense accountability has come a long way in the last year, thanks mainly to the work of now-departed Auditor General John Doyle, who swung the cobweb-covered door open on B.C.’s secretive Legislative Assembly Management Committee. Chaired by the speaker and run by senior MLAs from both parties, the committee had been doing pretty much whatever it wanted with MLAs’ own expenses. Doyle’s audit found that MLA credit card bills were being paid without receipts, part of a lax accounting system that included inaccurate bank records and inadequate management of the legislature gift shop and dining room. The operating budget of the legislature and constituencies runs to more than $60 million a year. Now-retired speaker Bill Barisoff asked the auditor to give a pass to the $119,000 annual al-

lowance for each of the 85 constituency offices. Transfer amounts and payroll expenses were verified, but constituency expenses were not, likely because these records weren’t kept either. I’m not suggesting that there has been any misuse of public funds. The point is we don’t know, and the notion of an “honour system” for politicians’ expenses has become unacceptable. A similar toxic tale has been unfolding in the Senate in Ottawa. It has its own secretive committee called the Board of Internal Economy, which

was forced into the open after trying to sweep Senator Mike Duffy’s housing claims under the red rug of the Senate chamber. Duffy has lived in Ottawa for decades, first as a TV host and then senator, but he decided the rules were loose enough that he could claim his summer place in Prince Edward Island as his principal residence. An audit has also found he was claiming living expenses in Ottawa while campaigning for the Conservatives back east. It turns out the key ingredient in an honour system is honour.

This mess goes back more than a century in B.C. and Canada, and has its roots in the British Parliament, where MPs and Lords had a system of claiming all sorts of expenses, including construction of a “duck house” and maintenance of the moat around an Honourable Member’s castle. Many years ago, British MPs convinced themselves that they were underpaid, and rather than create a public fuss by giving themselves a big raise, they would be able to top it up by claiming up to 250 pounds at a time without

receipts. Cheers! You can imagine how well that worked out. As one observer put it, the system was not only open to abuse, it was actually designed for it. Here in B.C., the next step is obvious. If you go to the website of Alberta Premier Alison Redford, you can easily find the link to her detailed expense reports, itemized for travel, meals, hotel rooms and so forth. Alberta cabinet ministers provide the same disclosure. B.C. cabinet ministers’ travel expenses are now reported, but only as an occasional lump sum.

As a result of Doyle’s revelations last summer, B.C.’s Legislative Assembly Management Committee now meets in public, with transcripts of proceedings available. But MLA expenses are still not itemized. Total expenditures are being reported on a quarterly basis, but with no detail to explain why some MLAs have much higher totals than others. It’s time to sweep out the cobwebs. Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press and BCLocalnews.com

BC Chamber of Commerce calls for provincial tax reform The BC Chamber of Commerce is calling on the provincial government to make tax reform a top priority to boost job creation and economic prosperity in British Columbia. “The PST is an abysmal tax and as British Columbians, we simply can’t settle for it,” said John Winter, the BC Chamber’s president and CEO. “This tax stunts business growth in B.C., scares away Canadian or international businesses that might come grow jobs here,

and mires everybody in red tape and nonsensical rules. Frankly, it’s an embarrassing tax.” At the BC Chamber’s annual general meeting and conference (May 23 to 25), the province-wide network of Chambers and the 36,000 businesses they represent called for the province to launch discussions on the creation of a madein-B.C. value-added tax (VAT). As a band-aid fix while those dialogues take place, the BC Chamber’s general

Liz Twan’s

assembly called for the province to: widen PST exemptions on investment in machinery and equipment, to enable B.C. businesses to invest in needed technologies and equipment to keep competitive; and continue administrative improvements to the PST. B.C.’s PST regime harms the province’s ability to attract new businesses by slamming them with taxes on start-up costs that they wouldn’t face in more competitive tax jurisdictions such as Alberta or Ontario.

Opinion

Room to move: pigs deserve good welfare Geoff Urton BC SPCA   Imagine living your life confined to an airline seat. According to world-renowned animal welfare expert Dr. Temple Grandin this is what it’s like to be a pregnant pig in Canada today. Pigs are intelligent, social animals – they’re at least as smart as dogs, and like their wild relatives, pigs love to explore and “root” around. Yet pigs raised on Canadian farms are normally kept inside on concrete floors, with females kept in confining stalls that cause great stress and frustration. Female pigs spend most of their lives – about three years – in metal stalls approximately two feet wide by seven feet long. Sows can lie down and get up, but can never turn around. First introduced in the 1950s, these gestation stalls are barren and uncomfortable for the sow, but highly efficient for feeding, cleaning and preventing aggression between pigs. However, we know from published research that farmers can achieve equal or better productivity and health in

group-housing systems provided that they are well-designed and managed. A growing number of retailers are adding animal welfare to their sustainability agendas and responding to the mounting pressure to ensure meat products are raised under more humane conditions. In recent years at least 30 food processors, grocery retailers and restaurant chains have pledged to eliminate gestation stalls from their supply chains. A growing number of food chains are committed to sourcing pork raised in alternative housing systems as defined in Canada’s updated Code of Practice for the Care and Handling of Pigs – the Pig Code. Animal welfare commitments from retailers are a powerful backdrop to the process underway to update Canada’s Pig Code. The Pig Code – last updated in 1993 - sets out Canada’s minimum standards for pig welfare through a stakeholder policy process steered by the National Farm Animal Care Council (NFACC). The BC SPCA represents animal welfare NGOs in this process,

on behalf of our national partner agency, the Canadian Federation of Humane Societies (CFHS). Once it’s finalized, the Pig Code will serve as a reference standard for animal cruelty laws, setting out generally accepted practices of animal management, and it will form the foundation of on-farm assurance programs. A draft of the new Pig Code became available June 1. For the next 60 days, farmers, animal welfare interest groups and citizens are all invited to weigh in on the issues that matter most to them. At minimum, the animal welfare community wants to see a definitive move away from gestation stalls. Pain control for procedures like castration and less barren housing for all pigs are also critical to ensure that the food animals in our care are treated as humanely as possible. In Europe, pressure from the animal welfare community has led to an overhaul of intensive confinement practices on pig farms over the last decade. Canada and the U.S., however, are years behind. In Canada, demand for pork has dropped

24 per cent over the last decade. Canada currently exports 70 per cent of its pork, primarily to the U.S., and producers are also exploring markets in Europe and China. A new and progressive Pig Code in Canada may guard against animal welfare-related trade restrictions to European markets, and from an animal welfare perspective it will also ensure that the growing Asian demand for meat will be supplied by farms meeting higher standards than those countries might demand. For B.C. consumers who want to purchase pork from farms accountable to higher standards, there is an option. The BC SPCA has five member farms producing SPCA Certified pork products. On SPCA Certified farms, gestation stalls are not permitted and comfortable bedding and more space is required for all pigs. However, the majority of pork comes from pig barns that rely on confinement housing systems to keep costs low for producers and prices low for consumers demanding cheap meat. It is critical for the

animals’ well-being and also key to the future sustainability of the industry that members of the public voice their expectations for pig farming in Canada. It’s time for Canada to align with other progressive nations and

phase out confinement housing and other stressful and painful practices that impact the lives of the 27 million pigs raised each year in Canada. Visit spca.bc.ca/pigs to review and comment on the draft Pig

The importance of memorialization I recently read that “The life of the dead consists in being present in the minds of the living.” This is the reason why we memorialize the famous; those who bravely fought in wars and all those we loved who have died; those who have touched the lives of ourselves and the lives of our ancestors. As long as we remember them, our loved ones live on in our hearts and minds. Ancient history shows that society has practiced funeral rituals and has engaged in some form of memorialization in practically every culture since the dawn of existence.

AT YOUR SERVICE RON MALMAS

With today’s lifestyles changing and less attention being paid to more formal ceremonies, funeral service and memorialization evolve in new and interesting ways. The memory table at a service where favourite mementos and photos of the deceased are displayed has be-

come popular instead of the open casket. The practice of sending flowers to honour a memory has evolved to contributing to a favourite charity or local community group to benefit the living. Burial services at a columbarium wall or in a burial park are becoming more popular around the world as a way of honouring our deceased loved ones. Honouring the deceased with a personalized funeral service and an appropriate memorial space to visit helps to calm our grief and support our moving forward in life. Cremation, like traditional burial, should

not be considered an end; rather it is a beginning, a preparation for memorialization. This permanent memorialization creates a lasting monument and place of serenity for present and future generations to pay respect to your loved one. It serves to preserve your family’s heritage. Memorialization is also the tangible realization of the personal and often emotional journey that is uniquely yours, which you experience when someone you love dies. It becomes a meaningful, unique symbol that bonds you and your loved one forever, preserving memories

and providing a lasting expression of love and devotion. It provides a place of tranquility for you to visit to gain peace of mind and heart. By interring or inurning those cherished remains, you pay respect to your past and link yourself forever to the future.

This charming two-storey home, with multiple gables and a trellis sheltering the terrace, is designed especially for a narrow lot. And the unfinished basement, included in the plans, will provide room for a growing family, or perhaps space for a mortgage-helper or an in-law suite. The main entry is protected by a covered porch and veranda. The foyer, with a coat closet to the right, leads in to a living room where French doors open on to a paved terrace. With a gas fireplace, this room will be ideal for gatherings, in months both cool and warm. Through an archway is the dining room, which enjoys windows on two sides and is open to the kitchen. A U-shaped staircase leads to the unfinished basement and the second floor. The kitchen window overlooks a covered patio, idea for summertime grilling. With plenty of counter space, as well as a prep island and a pantry, this well-planned room offers plenty of work surfaces and storage space. From the dining area, another archway leads to the laundry room and the adjacent den. With its own twopiece bathroom, the den would make an ideal guest room or home office. As part of the sleeping area upstairs, the master bedroom includes a luxurious ensuite, with double basins, a shower stall and a tub, occupying a niche that juts out over the back garden. A linen cupboard separates the ensuite from

a roomy walk-in closet. The second and third bedrooms share a three-piece bathroom. Bedroom no. 3 boasts its own walk-in closet, while bedroom no. 2 has a built-in desk, as well as a bayed-out window overlooking the front garden. Exterior finishes include shingles in the gables, horizontal siding and painted trim. Stone pilasters flanking the front entry and veranda have stone bases. This home measures 26 feet wide and 64 feet deep, for a total of 2,083 square feet, not including the unfinished basement. Plans for design 9-3-215 are available for $758 (set of 5), $856 (set of 8) and $917 for a super set of 10. Also add $30.00 for Priority charges within B.C. or $55.00 outside of B.C. Please add 7% P.S.T., 13% H.S.T. Or 5% G.S.T (where applicable) to both the plan price and Priority charges.

Friday, June 14, 2013 Williams Lake Weekend

Where to go, what to do.

WLSS/Columneetza final grad Saturday The general public is invited today to view the decorations for the 2013 Dry Grad prom taking place in the Cariboo Memorial Complex Saturday night. The graduation this weekend marks the end of Williams Lake and Columneetza secondary school graduations as we know them today. Next year the schools will be combined into one school on two campuses and have their names completely changed. The public viewing takes place today, Friday, June 14 from 12 to 3:30 p.m. at the Cariboo Memorial Complex. The grads themselves are not invited to this event as the decorations for the prom are meant to be a surprise for them. The public is also encouraged to turn out for the annual Dry Grad Parade tomorrow evening prior to the prom and all night Dry Grad party in the complex. “We would like the community to come out and watch the parade and see the gorgeous dresses and students that are celebrating one of their landmarks in their life,” says dry grad chair Betty Turatus. Grads are asked to muster for the parade by entering Second Avenue via Rose Street at 5 p.m. The parade itself will start at 6 p.m. The parade will travel down Second Avenue, turn left on Borland Street, left again on Third Avenue, then right on Proctor street, and continuing on to the Cariboo Memorial Complex. The formal graduation ceremonies take place at the complex during the day on Saturday. Williams Lake

Secondary School’s ceremony will be held at 9:30 a.m. Saturday morning, while Columneetza’s ceremony will take place at 1 p.m. This year marks the 25th official Dry Grad. Following the parade, grads will be given two prom passes to allow parents, friends and relatives inside the building to tour the Dry Grad site and take pictures of their graduates inside the complex with the decorations. Prom passes will also be recycled at the door for others looking to see the decorations. At 10 p.m. everyone except the grads and their escorts will be asked to leave the building and the all-night fun for the graduating students will begin. This year’s dry grad theme is City Nights Bright Lights which decorating chair SherylLynn Lewis and a crew of parents and community members have been hard at work creating since the beginning of March. Volunteers have made everything from Big Ben to more than 1,000 homemade flowers during the past few months. “There should be lots of details and things for [grads] to wander around and look at,” Lewis says. “We want to celebrate our grads, so we’ve put a lot of effort into making the night look good.” Nine cities including Moscow, Casablanca and New York will be featured in the arena, but Lewis isn’t telling about the details. “I don’t want to give too much away,” Lewis says. The activities for the grads happening throughout the night

ICBC presenter Heather Charlton spoke with senior students at Columneetza secondary last week leading up to 2013 graduation ceremonies this weekend. She warned students not to drink and drive by telling them about the horrific consequences of her own actions as an impaired driver. Crashes are the number one preventable cause of death for youth in B.C. and in Northern B.C. alone, 80 youth are injured and 2 are killed during grad season. Tara Sprickerhoff photo are also a secret, says Turatus. However, she would say one thing: “These kids this year are not going to be bored! There isn’t an inch inside the arena that doesn’t have stuff for them to do.” Parents are reminded that they must pick their students up from the Dry Grad if the grad wants to leave early. Parents must also pick up their students when the dry grad ends at 5 a.m. This is to ensure that everyone gets home safely, Turatus says. “We know grad is a success when the kids

all have fun and they are safe in the morning.” This year approximately $190,000 will be given to 116 grads from both of the high schools in the form of scholarships and/or bursaries, said scholarship co-ordinator Jeanette Gobolos. For the first time, Thompson Rivers University has donated $50,000 for graduates planning on attending post-secondary at the Williams Lake campus next year. “We have 125 unique donors,” said Gobolos. “The community is in-

“Right Here, Right Now” --A pop song released by the band Jesus Jones in 1990. It was a catchy little tune that reached the top of the charts in the UK and North America in 1991. As a third year college student with no idea what to do with my life, the chorus grabbed hold of my imagination-- “Right here, right now, there is no other place I want to be. Right here, right now, watching the world wake up from history!” The 1990’s represented a time of hope, global change, humanistic positivism and the explosive growth of the internet and wireless connectivity. The world was truly waking up from history and we could feel it. The busts of the 80’s turned into the booms and bubbles of the 90’s. As the song said, “I saw the decade in, when it seemed the world could change at the blink of an eye.” And it happened! Jesus Jones had sung the heart of the decade. Fast forward to the 2000’s. The 1990’s seem like an old dream from which we have been rudely awakened by the alarms of a millennium in crisis. 9/11 was not a onetime event, but the inauguration of a new global reality. The temporary

PARSONS PARSONS PEN PEN

BY BY JEREMY JEREMY VOGT VOGT tranquility and the bubbles of the 90’s eventually burst, leaving the global community wandering aimlessly, fighting with itself, limping along on bad principles, threatened by dangerous political solutions. Old empires are in decline and new regimes are elbowing for power. Underneath this upheaval, communities are struggling and real people are suffering. If the positivism in the lyrics of Jesus Jones is all we have to cope with the world in which we find ourselves, we are truly in trouble.

As hopeful as the Jesus Jones song was, it has failed to resound with any lasting meaning in our current situation. By God’s grace, there is an infinitely stronger song whose lyrics continue to echo loudly through the centuries. Jesus the Christ, not Jesus Jones, is bringing true life, fresh hope and radical purpose to everyone who joins his song. The Message Bible has a beautiful paraphrase of the song of Jesus in Luke 4:18: “God’s Spirit is on me; he’s chosen me to preach the message of good news to the poor, sent me to announce pardon to prisoners and recovery of sight to the blind, to set the burdened and battered free, to announce, ‘This is God’s year to act!’” His life, miracles, death on the cross and resurrection demonstrate that Jesus has the power to do what he sings in the song! Our privilege is to turn to him in trusting relationship, and to join him in ‘living out’ the words of his song. With Jesus, there is no better place or time to be alive than now. Lasting hope, abundant life and eternal purpose are available through him. Will you join him in his song? It can start “right here, right now!”

Weekend powwow honours fathers MONICA LAMB-YORSKI Tribune Staff Writer Fathers need to be honoured too. At least that’s the sentiment of Williams Lake Indian Band elder Virginia Gilbert, one of the organizers of the 29th annual Father’s Day Powwow taking place June 14 to 16 at the Chief Will-Yum Campground. “We honour mothers all the time and it’s important to honour the fathers too,” Gilbert says. A father-honouring will take place Sunday at 4 p.m. After some drumming all of the fathers present will gather in a circle and dance around, followed by them shaking hands with one another. “After that we will serve a big Father’s Day cake donated by one of our band members,” Gilbert says.

“I’m really excited, we’re all ready to go.” The cake and Father’s Day honouring will be the culmination of a three-day event, that starts Friday evening with a warm up. Gilbert says sometimes the warm up can start off slow because people travel from Alberta and B.C. to participate, and are arriving at all hours to set up campsites. Nevertheless, a grand entry is scheduled for 7 p.m. Grand entries are also scheduled on Saturday and Sunday at 1 p.m. They are the main event and will take place “rain or shine.” Excitedly Gilbert confirms, the grand entries will feature an array of regalia. At 5 p.m. Saturday there will be a community feast in the arbor hosted by the WLIB. There’ll be all kinds of traditional

foods such as deer, moose, salmon and Saskatoon berries. “We’ve even had a few turkeys donated,” Gilbert notes. There will also be vendors and concessions throughout the weekend, with many people selling arts and crafts. Another highlight every years is the Princess and Little Brave Pageants. A princess and a little brave will be chosen to represent the Chief Will-Yum Father’s Day Powwow on the Powwow Trail throughout the summer. Many people will also participate in Lehal, a traditional stick game. Another feast will take place Sunday earlier in the day so that people who have travelled from distances can eat before they have to leave. Entry to the powwow is free and Gilbert reminds people the entire site will be

alcohol and drug free all weekend. “We will have lots of children attending so it’s important to keep the place sober,” she says. Gilbert stresses the Powwow is “traditional” which means it’s not competitive. “There are two kinds of Powwows — at competitive ones people can win money. Ours isn’t that. Ours is just about getting people

Fish for free on Father’s Day weekend Fish for free, have a great family outing and enter to win prizes at a local Family Fishing event in Northern BC this Fathers’ Day weekend. The Family Fishing Society of BC, supported by the Freshwater Fisheries Society of BC, is inviting experienced anglers and novices of all ages to enjoy a day on the water for free as part of an effort to get more British Columbians hooked on fishing. Create your own fishing adventure or join one of the many organized events around the province. BC’s Family Fishing Weekend is the perfect opportunity to explore one of the province’s thousands of lakes, rivers, streams or tidal waters for free, compliments of the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations and Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO). It is also a great opportunity to become a Fishing Buddy and pledge to introduce at least one friend to fishing this year or sign up for a Learn to Fish class and learn the basics from one of our expert instructors. Both the Family Fish-

ing Weekend and the Fishing Buddies Program share the goal of encouraging British Columbians to enjoy our province’s world class sport fishing opportunities and to become more aware of our natural resources. The DFO is also offering free saltwater fishing over Fathers’ Day weekend and as with the provincial program, certain regulations apply. For details please visit www. gofishbc.com or www. pac.dfo-mpo.gc.ca. “For many BC families, Family Fishing Weekend marks the unofficial start of summer,” said Forest, Lands and Natural Resource Operations Minister Steve Thomson. “A free weekend of fishing is a great way to encourage families to get outdoors and enjoy sport fishing across British Columbia.” The 13th annual Family Fishing Weekend is made possible by the support of the Province of British Columbia, the Habitat Conservation Trust Foundation and Walmart Canada. The weekend of June 15-17 will be celebrated with free fishing across the province and at 47 separate organized events

province wide. “These events offer a great opportunity to learn how to fish and share an appreciation for the pastime and aquatic resources in a fun and supervised environment,” said Executive Director of the Family Fishing Society of BC, Owen Bird. “The hundreds of volunteers who organize and participate in these events are passionate about fishing and even more passionate about passing on their love of the sport. They really are the heart of Family Fishing Weekend.” Organized events will be held across Northern BC at No Name Lake in 100 Mile House, Two Lakes in Alexis Creek, Kelly Lake in Clinton, Dease Lake, the Kitimat Rod and Gun Club, Williston Lake in MacKenzie, Wood Wheaton Lake in Prince George (a temporary facility at the Wood Wheaton dealership in the city), Ten Mile Lake in Quesnel, Lakelse Lake Park in Terrace, and the Deep Creek Hatchery in Terrace. British Columbia boasts some of North America’s finest sport fishing opportunities and the Family Fish-

ing Society has been awarded the 2012 National Recreational Fishing Award for its efforts to introduce thousands of young people and families to the sport.

A complete list of the 47 participating communities, locations and event descriptions, along with step-by-step fishing instructions can be found at www.bcfamilyfishing.com.

Local governments are well positioned to help develop and implement energy policy for Canada, says a report by the Columbia Institute. Canada’s Premiers have been holding discussions on a national energy strategy through the Council of the Federation. Canada’s current approach to energy policy is primarily driven by individual provinces, but municipalities stand on the front lines facing rising public sector energy costs, community energy security questions, and local economic and environmental concerns, in addition to climate change related strain on local infrastructure. “Through infrastructure adaptation, repairs and related costs, municipalities will bear much of the financial brunt of climate change, which is linked directly to energy use. Municipalities control policy levers crucial

to reducing energy consumption and increasing renewable energy use and production,” said Charley Beresford, executive director of the Columbia Institute. “A role for municipalities in these discussions makes good policy sense.” Energy infrastructure and regulatory processes will be of key interest to local governments, says the report. A national energy strategy that reduces dependence on fossil fuels, and accelerates Canada’s prosperity in the developing global clean energy economy, will benefit municipalities. Such a strategy would bring certainty to policy initiatives for all orders of government. The premiers charged with developing this strategy have stated that “the next state is to go out and consult Canadians on what their thoughts and ideas are for a Canadian energy strat-

Sponsored by the Sacred Heart School Parent Support Group As parents, we know that choosing a school is one of the most important decisions we make for our children. Coming to Sacred Heart truly is an investment in your children and their future.

Debbie and Matt Kosolofski

We have chosen Sacred Heart Catholic School for our children because of the high quality education and the sense of community. We ﬁnd it has a very welcoming atmosphere and our daughter is so excited to go! Piper - Entering Kindergarten

Leigh and Parnell Pinette

There are so many things that we love about Sacred Heart Catholic School. We have had children at the school for the last 8 years and I also taught at the school for nine years prior. At the top of our list is the general atmosphere of the school and the outstanding and caring teachers. We also appreciate the smaller class sizes and all of the extra-curricular activities provided. When you come to S.H.C.S., you become part of the “family”. Having school uniforms and a daily hot lunch program are also huge perks to our school. Parents are welcomed and encouraged to become involved in the school at many different levels. We are proud supporters of Sacred Heart Catholic School. Conley - ‘12 Graduate; Cameron - Grade 3; Lucas - Grade 1; Linden - Entering Kindergarten

Richard and Rolanda Kohlen

We welcome you to join us in the 2013-14 school year!

We enrolled our children in Sacred Heart Catholic School because we wanted to give our children a chance to develop in a loving, caring environment. The administration and staff genuinely cared about the academic and spiritual development of our children. The structure of an independent school was more suited to our needs as parents giving us the ability to be very involved in the operation of the school. Sacred Heart School atmosphere promotes a spirit of community and the extensive extra-curricular programs always kept our children excited about going to school. As parents, we are responsible for making the right choices for our children at a young age. We are thankful we made the choice of Sacred Heart Catholic School. Kaelan - ‘10 Graduate; Devenee - ‘06 Graduate

Tara and Matt Sherlock

The decision to enroll our children in Sacred Heart was not an easy one for us. We live close to a public school with a good reputation, and my husband is not a Catholic. We knew that we wanted our children not only to have the opportunity for a great education and involvement in extracurricular activities, but to have a great life experience, surrounded by a safe and comfortable learning environment. The small community of staff, parents, and students at Sacred Heart have become a family to us, so much that the school feels like an extension of our home. High morals and values are intertwined in every aspect of the school. Our child’s experiences have been incredibly positive, as evident in the things she has learned and the stories she has shared with us. We are extremely happy and thankful for the decision we made. Hailey - Kindergarten

Leslie and Duane Destree

Dallas and Sidney Harry

I have been a parent at Sacred Heart Catholic School for 14 years, two of my children are now in high school, one achieved the First Nations Role Model for the school year 2011, and my second has been on the work ethics list since she entered high school. I currently have three children attending Sacred Heart Catholic School. Why, you may ask? I feel that they have great ethics and academic standards. What my two older children have achieved in high school is a reﬂection of what they learned in their primary years. At Sacred Heart Catholic School you get the best academic education you can ask for and you also get to be part of a big family, the staff and students greet you with a smile. I am proud to say that I have my children at Sacred Heart Catholic School. Damian - ‘10 Graduate; Rae - ‘11 Graduate; Sabryn - Grade 6; Tanesha - Grade 4; Kaleb - Grade 2

Laura and James Zimmerman

We chose Sacred Heart School for our daughter because of the positive, consistent learning atmosphere and the hardworking, dedicated staff members. We want her to be at a school where she feels safe and happy and Sacred Heart gives her all of this. Payton - Entering Kindergarten

After looking at schools in the area we decided to enroll our daughter at Sacred Heart. The school gives such a genuine feeling of caring and trust from everyone you meet. She has thrived at the school and has built a conﬁdence in her abilities we didn’t know she had. It is such a blessing to know our daughter is under the care of a school that will go above and beyond to make sure she is successful and challenged. Once joining the school we realized that the school not only nurtures our Catholic faith, it encourages our daughter to be open minded and accepting to others. The atmosphere is grounded in the good morals and values that we as parents try to instill, a great complement to our parenting. We are so excited to hear that the school may be opening a Jr. High in 2014 and fully recommend any interested family to take advantage of what this school can offer. Adrien - Grade 4
