Six charged in Anahim Lake homicides Six people have been charged in connection with a double homicide in Anahim Lake that claimed the lives of 23-year-old Matthew Hennigar and 22-yearold Kalvin Andy on Boxing Day. “I’ve known the two young victims since they were in diapers,” Ulkatcho (Anahim Lake) Chief Zach Parker said Tuesday.
“There’s no script in leadership or any handbook that prepares you for such tragic events.” Just before midnight on Friday, Dec. 26, the RCMP received a report of shots fired at a home in the 2100 block on Dorsey Road in Anahim Lake. When police arrived at the scene, Hennigar and Andy were already deceased.
Why follow someone else’s tracks when you can make your own.
Provincial Crown Counsel has approved a charge of first degree murder against Everett O’Reilly, 27, second degree murder against Christian Craciun, 28, Andrew Jongbloets, 25, and Serena Rhem, 26, and manslaughter against Lucille Mack, 33, and Stephen Mecham, 22. The RCMP are asking the pub-
lic to share any information that will help the major crime unit determine a time line for O’Reilly, Jongbloets, Rhem and Craciun from the time of the offence Friday evening until their arrests on Saturday, Dec. 27 at 10 a.m. Anyone with information is asked to contact the Anahim Lake RCMP at 250-742-3211.

“It’s in you to give” is the great motto of Canadian Blood Services (CBS). From one blood donation, red blood cells can be extracted for use in blood loss and surgery; plasma, the liquid part of the blood can be given to those with clotting problems; and platelets can be used for cancer and transplant patients. One unit of blood can help many. Make it a goal of 2015 to give blood regularly. At this the time of year, some people make resolutions to change their life for the better. Why not make a resolution to make someone else’s life better, too? If you are aware of people who are lonely or depressed, try reaching out to them. Bring them home for dinner or visit them in their own home. It will help them and make you feel good too. Speaking of resolutions, here are seven goals for a healthy life: sleep 7-8 hours per night; eat breakfast every day; don’t smoke; use alcohol moderately (or not at all); don’t eat between meals; maintain proper weight; and exercise regularly. Perhaps you can include these gems in your resolutions as well. And here’s an idea for losing weight: Canadians consume an average of 26 teaspoonful of sugar per day. If you cut that amount in half, you’ll lose 16 pounds in one year. Combine this with exercise, you’ll lose even more. We would also like to extend our thanks for the pleasant relationships we have built with our customers during 2014. We wish everyone good health, prosperity and happiness in the coming year.

A sign of hope There may be hope for the world yet. Or at least for B.C. A recent poll by Insights West shows that the most important thing for people through the holiday season is not the shopping, the tree, getting gifts or any of the usual trappings of the season. No, according to the poll, people regard time with friends and family as the most positive aspect of the holiday season. That goes for Albertans too, though slightly less so (85 per cent) than for the warm-hearted B.C.’ers (87 per cent). And that is something pretty nice to hear, what with all of the bad news we hear from around the world, commercialism at this time of year and arguments over whether or not it’s Christmas or the holiday season. The spirit of giving is alive and well, too, according to the poll. Buying gifts for friends and family, not receiving them, took second place on the list with 84 per cent of the respondents checking it off as an important part of the season.
One area that could use some more work, however, is helping the less fortunate. Only about 60 per cent of the people responding, in both B.C. and Alberta, marked that as an important part of the season. Still, 60 per cent isn’t bad either. Don’t get us wrong. Bad news isn’t going to stop happening just because we want to feel good for a couple of weeks, and the money spent at this time of year is important — there are many small businesses that rely on the Christmas season for nearly half of their yearly sales. That’s a lot of people employed, and that’s a good thing too. It would be a mistake to think that a few weeks of good feelings, gestures of generosity and thankfulness around Dec. 25 and into the New Year is the solution to making the world a better place. But hearing that most people value friends and family above everything else is a sign of hope.

A few simple substitutions for New Year’s resolutions It’s a tough call, avoiding the word ‘resolution’ at this time of year — or any year! I hate old lists of guilt-producing qualities – all of which I could become, if only … ! We will not be the same persons at the end of 2015 as we are today. To quote Charles F. Kettering: “Every time you tear a leaf off a calendar, you present a new place for new ideas and progress.” Nic Vardalos expressed both our hopes and our frustration when he said, “My New Year’s Resolution List usually starts with the desire to lose between ten and three thousand pounds.” So, in place of the ‘R’ word, perhaps I will cautiously offer approaches that might last longer than a month, day, week, or

hour. Alternates that might be titled New Year’s Substitutions. 1.) Progress not Perfection: Most of my past goals have been of the ‘do’ or ‘don’t do’ variety. A set-up for instant failure — and fail I did. Directional approaches are now my favourites — and those in my home circle
love them, too. Doing better is more within reach than doing it right. And far more likely to reap results. 2.) The Inside tops Outside: A new look for 2015? New style? Or new character. If I improve my core integrity, all the exteriors will take their proper place, if they are seen at all. 3.) Balance over Achievement: Rather than committing to two hours on the treadmill at 3 a.m., could I take a brief look at where I’m out-of-balance? Where is my weakest area? Physical health, mental attitude, social relationships, spiritual investment? That might tell me where to start. But please don’t tell me about food-freaks unless they exercise, or spiritual devotees who couldn’t care less about
others. More out-of-balance is not what I need. If I’m short on the physical, perhaps I might gradually introduce a new longevity habit, like eating more ‘fresh.’ If my Mental Habits are weak, could I consider reducing my negative comments? Social? Who doesn’t know someone who needs a friend! And the Spiritual category waits for me to develop a relationship instead of another list of behaviours. 4.) Above all, Keep Pedalling: Continuing to pedal is the only way I know to outpace what bugs me about myself, avoid becoming a victim, and change my scenery permanently. G.K. Chesterton expounds that the object of a New Year is “not that we should have a new year,
but rather that we should have a new soul.” Akhenaton offered, “He who gave thee a Soul, armed thee with resolution. Employ it, and thou art wise; be wise and thou art happy.” Simply, resolution is determination. Perhaps then I can eventually become the person I wish those irritating others to be. Of course, that still sounds like a list, so I will just let Charles Lamb close with the thought that “New Year’s Day is every man’s birthday.” I wish each of you a full and fulfilling year of Living OutLoud.

Why You Need Vitamin C and Lysine for Heart Health and More...
W. Gifford-Jones, MD
V
itamin C is arguably the single most important water soluble antioxidant in the human body. Antioxidants play a key role in protecting cells against free radicals, which can cause damage and play a role in heart disease, cancer and other diseases. It’s tragic that researchers are unaware that high doses of vitamin C and lysine cannot only prevent, but reverse atherosclerosis in coronary and other arteries in the body. Vitamin C is needed for the manufacture of collagen, the glue that holds cells together. A lack of vitamin C means poor collagen, resulting in cracks appearing between coronary cells thus setting the stage for fatal blood clot. Recently, Dr. Sydney Bush, an English researcher, made this monumental discovery. He took photos of the retinal arteries and then gave patients 6,000 milligrams of vitamin C and 5,000 of lysine (lysine adds strength to coronary arteries just like steel rods increase the strength of concrete). A year later he repeated the pictures. To his surprise, he found atherosclerosis fading away. Millions of North Americans also suffer from osteoarthritis. Without sufficient vitamin C to produce collagen, a major component of cartilage, bone eventually grinds on bone. There would be fewer joint replacements if more vitamin C were available to produce healthy collagen. Rheumatoid arthritis, the inflammatory type, also requires large doses of vitamin C. Every moment of the day our bodies are using oxygen to keep us alive. But oxidation results in metabolic ash, known as “free radicals”, which are believed to trigger an inflammatory reaction in joints. Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that helps to reduce damaging free-radicals.
Patients often appear surprised when I tell them that vitamin C will help them keep their teeth a lifetime. By age 65 one in five North Americans has lost all their teeth and many of their teeth were normal. Rather, it was the gums that could no longer hold teeth firmly in place in part due to inadequate amounts of vitamin C. This vitamin is needed in large amounts to produce healthy collagen, the glue that holds cells together and keeps gums healthy. Without good mortar bricks fall apart and the same happens when gums lacking collagen lose their grip on teeth. The essential amino acid lysine is probably best known for its use in those with herpes simplex infections but several other benefits have been ascribed to the molecule, including favourable effects on blood pressure and stroke prevention but also a positive influence on mood and anxiety. In addition to providing healthy collagen production and a healthy cardiovascular system, vitamin C and lysine supplementation helps support: • Immune system health • Vision • Teeth and gums • Wound healing • Bones and cartilage • Recovery from shingles • Recovery from herpes outbreaks This is why I’ve been taking high doses of vitamin C and lysine for the last 16 years following a heart attack. I believe it saved my life. Medi-C Plus™, containing high doses of vitamin C and lysine, is available in powder and capsules.

Oh, why doesn’t my ATV work? “Do you think that 2015 will be any better than this past year has been for me?” That is the question I was asked, and I could easily understand the concern in his voice. After all, there had been a lot of things going on during the past year and to have a repeat of it, well, that is not something to look forward to. Now, for some years I spent time in a culture where direct answers were seldom given, not even to direct questions. Instead, a story would be woven and it was left to the questioner to interpret and apply the wisdom of the story. So I answered him this way: “Earlier this fall I changed the battery in my ATV. I had trouble with lifting the plow blade last spring and thought the battery must be worn out. The other day I went to start the ATV but it would not turn over. And the blade would not lift, nothing worked. I charged it up and it started but by the time I was finished plowing, the blade would only lift up very slowly, with an awful grinding noise. I wondered why this new battery was finished already but then,
flip over to the new year, we make resolutions and resolve to approach life differently. We have installed a new battery, so to speak, when we passed New Year’s Eve. We are re-energized and ready to go. We begin well, but soon the wear and tear of life drains the enthusiasm and excitement out of us and we are back to where we were in the previous year – tired, sick of it all, unable to cope, not sure what to do next. We may try to revive the PARSONS PEN enthusiasm but even a recharge BY GERRIT APPERLOO does not seem to suffice for long. The real problem lies in that in discussing it with someone, I realized that perhaps it was we are not expected to live off not a battery problem, but a our reserve, our temporary bank wiring connection problem. The of resolve. We are designed to be battery was not charging when connected to the Author of Life Jesus Christ, and to be energised the ATV was operating.” I hope he understood the by him, daily and hourly. We important life truth I had just need a direct connection to shared with him! After all, his him and we need to be built up, reaction to the unfolding of charged up by him moment by events this year depended on his moment. A weekly recharge at understanding this great truth. church helps but it is not the Have you grasped the truth I final answer. Are you connected to Jesus, the shared? No? Not certain you One who gives abundant life? understood? Let me explain. Talk to a local pastor this week Often we end the year reflecting on the toughness of the existing if you are not.

TIPS FROM THE CRD
Vacations and business travel make hotels and motels our home away from home. It is just as important to be prepared and know what you would do in a hotel/ motel emergency as it is in your own home. BE SAFE WHEN TRAVELING! • Choose a hotel/motel that is protected by both smoke alarms and a fire sprinkler system. • When you check in, ask the front desk what the fire alarm sounds like. • When you enter your room, review the escape plan posted in your room. • Take the time to find the exits and count the number of doors between your room and the exit. Make sure the exits are unlocked. If they are locked, report it to management right away. • Keep your room key by your bed and take it with you if there is a fire. • If the alarm sounds, leave right away, closing all doors behind you. Use the stairs — never use elevators during a fire. • If you must escape through smoke, get low and go under the smoke to your exit IF YOU CAN’T ESCAPE... SHUT off fans and air conditioners. STUFF wet towels in the crack around the doors. CALL the fire department and let them know your location. WAIT at the window and signal with a flashlight or light colored cloth. FACTS • On average, one of every 12 hotels or motels reported a structure fire each year. • The majority of hotel fire deaths result from fires that started in the bedroom. • Cooking equipment is the leading cause of hotel motel fires.

His most recent project was an impressive looking high handlebar bicycle. He also played the guitar and enjoyed rock and roll music. Billy was preceded in death by his parents Bill and Betty. He will be remembered and missed by his daughter Frankie Lee and granddaughter Joselyn of Sacramento, California. Five siblings also in California, Joanne, Tammy, Jimmy, Tracey, Chris and their family members. His family in Williams Lake, Linda, Jeannie, Brian, Gail and their families and especially those at Jubilee Place where he lived the past 8 months. Thank you to all who shared a part of this man’s life. He was loved by many and will be missed by many more. Compassionate Care Funerals entrusted with all arrangements. 250-392-3336
