Report: suicidal youths go untreated By tom Fletcher Black Press

British Columbia’s child protection system has lost most of its ability to deal with severely abused, depressed and suicidal teens in provincial care, their independent advocate says. A review of 89 cases by Representative for Children and Youth Mary Ellen TurpelLafond finds common circumstances of severe problems, notably mental illness, domestic violence, sexual and physical abuse, alcohol and drug abuse by young people or their parents, and running away to live on the streets. All the cases are children who had contact with ministry social workers, and in some cases from infancy. Three-quarters of them were removed from their homes because their parents’ behaviour was a threat to them.

Watch for us! Our new temporary location will be opening soon!

The study revealed they were shuffled to different group or foster homes an average of a dozen times, with some moving as much as 30 times in three years. Fifteen of the children in the study killed themselves, and the other 74 severely injured themselves during the study period - 20072010. More than half were aboriginal. The review found the youths, aged 12 to 19, were not assessed or treated for trauma, and caregivers are not trained to deal with mental illness or the effects of abuse. Turpel-Lafond noted that while she admires the willingness of “mom and pop” foster parents to take in abused and mentally ill children, the turnover shows they can’t do the job without specialized training and a constant presence to help stabilize the teens’ home and school life. “This is a pretty horrific foster-care system

The

for kids with mental health needs, and that’s something that we have to face. The government has to face down the fact [it has] mostly gutted therapeutic foster care over the last decade.” Other risk factors identified in the study are learning disabilities and lack of attachment to school, and in one-third of the cases, a “significant romantic conflict” within 24 hours before killing or injuring themselves. Children and Family Development Minister Stephanie Cadieux said the ministry accepts all the recommendations in the report, and is preparing a two-year action plan for mental health services that includes improved training of both social workers and foster parents. After consultations, including aboriginal communities and agencies, the plan is to be made public by February, Cadieux added.

Notices help businesses with return to PST

Businesses can find Provincial Sales Tax (PST) exemption and application information for the return to a PST and Goods and Services Tax (GST) system in recently released PST bulletins and notices. The provincial government has released more than half-a-dozen publications providing plain-language guidance on the application of PST and related exemptions, subject to approval of the legislature, that British Columbia businesses require to successfully

transition back to the PST. As committed, the PST is being re-implemented on April 1, 2013, with all permanent exemptions. Since Oct. 1, 2012,

the following notices and bulletins have been released and are available at www2.gov.bc.ca/ gov/topic.page?id=A6B 801FB7ED54C76A9222 47EAFBCE5CB • Notice 2012-009

Drugged driving can have deadly outcomes

Messages reminding Canadians to drive sober are a familiar and necessary feature of the holiday season. Impairment behind the wheel is most often associated with alcohol – the classic “Don’t drink and drive.” However, impairment goes far beyond alcohol. Increasingly, motorists are gambling with their safety and the safety of others by knowingly driving under the influence of drugs. These drugs include illegal substances, prescription medications and overthe-counter remedies. This Canada Safety Council seeks to educate Canadians that driving while under the influence of drugs is dangerous, irresponsible and becoming increasingly prevalent. It is posing a significant public safety risk that needs to be curbed through preventative measures, awareness and enforcement of appropriate penalties. Serious injury, driver or passenger death, hurting bystanders, destroying property, lost productivity, more strain on the healthcare system – these are just some of the unfor-

tunate and painful, but totally preventable consequences of driving while impaired by drugs. The Canadian Centre on Substance Abuse reports that in 2008, 36.7 per cent of fatally injured drivers in Canada tested positive for impairing drugs. That’s more than onein-three fatalities where

drugs played a role. This compares with 40.8 per cent of driver fatalities where alcohol was the source of impairment. Among drivers killed who were tested for both drugs and alcohol, 15.1 per cent were found to be positive for both. The most common drugs found in fatalities are central nervous

system depressants, cannabis, stimulants and narcotics. Female drivers are almost equally likely as males to test positive for drugs. Among fatally injured drivers 55 and older, drug use is more prevalent than alcohol. Aware of licensing restrictions and initiatives that catch and punish drunk drivers, some people are turning from alcohol to substances, such as drugs, to achieve a high. As the statistics indicate, however, the outcomes are even more – not less – dangerous and deadly.

Drivers need to be responsible

From 3

There is now a growing body of 491 drug recognition experts (DRE) in Canada who exclusively work to enforce penalties for driving under the influence of drugs. In cases where impairment by drugs is suspected, sobriety tests are being used to check for the source of impairment. A DRE can be called in to access the condition of a suspected impaired driver and may collect

a swab, urine or blood sample. If the results come back positive for the suspected drug or drugs, charges can be laid under the Criminal Code of Canada. The message: drivers operating under the influence of drugs stand a good chance of being caught, or worse – being involved in a deadly collision. It’s not worth the risk. Much like curbing drunk driving, proactive steps can and must be taken to stop

drugged driving before it happens.

Recommendations • Know the sideeffects of your medications. Read the inserts that come with your medications and speak with your pharmacist about the drugs’ possible impacts on your driving abilities. • Be aware that drugs interact with each other. Review your list of medications with your pharmacist. • As a host, monitor

your guests’ behaviour. If you suspect someone is impaired, speak up and make alternate, safe arrangements for transportation. • Do not be a passenger in a vehicle where the driver is impaired. Make every safe effort to stop an impaired

person from operating a vehicle. • Report impaired driving to the police. Whether by drugs, alcohol, fatigue or some other contributing factor, there is no excuse for impaired driving. Be responsible and be safe this holiday season.

who’s listening to CaribooRadio.Com

WEEK OF NOV. 25 TO DEC. 1, 2012

Christine Ricketts Colwell

THE LUCKIEST SIGNS THIS WEEK: VIRGO, LIBRA, AND SCORPIO.

Christine says: I enjoy listening to CaribooRadio.com because of the variety of music. I like it when I hear a song I haven’t heard in years and I get that “I love this song moment.” I don’t get that feeling from an iPod play list.

ARIES

With the full moon you field a lot of criticism and you may have to deal with some people who do not express themselves very clearly. You manage a complicated family affair with skill. TAURUS

You could receive quite a large sum of money, such as an insurance claim or an inheritance. You may have to assert yourself and put up some good arguments in order to obtain it. GEMINI

You are a real bundle of energy and manage to be everywhere at once. Try to get some exercise or you may have to fork out some money for health reasons. CANCER

You have a great many ideas and concerns on your mind which could mean some sleepless nights for you. You are very inspired by a new career that is starting to take shape for you. LEO

You repeatedly find yourself in crowds or perhaps you organize an event for a lot of people. You love good company, even if you find it a little tiring. VIRGO

Many businesses make a lot of changes at this time of year and you could benefit from this. You will rise in your company while others will leave.

TO: Home owners, Property Managers, Real Estate Agents: I am a 47 year old woman that is permanently disabled and terminally ill. I am looking to help a home owner in the 100 Mile area. I am looking to move closer to town, as I currently live 25 minutes out of town, and would be easier on me to be closer to my doctors and therapy sessions. I am on a disability pension, therefore do not have much for rent, but I can make that up in keeping your home clean and secure. I would like to help out homeowners if they have had to leave their property unattended and or up for sale as they live elsewhere. I would be able to look after your home and keep it clean and safe from any unwanted parties. I am still able to do small home projects as well, i.e. Painting, as well if you are in need of any improvements. I do have two dogs, they are older and they have a great respect of protecting me and the property I reside in. They do like cooler to sleep and would be happy in a garage at night. I do have my own furnishings, gardening tools etc. I would like to live in at least a two bedroom rancher style home. This would be ideal, but not a deal breaker. I do have a wheel chair that I havenâ€™t had to use that often and would be easier to get around if I did need to use it. I would also like a fenced in yard for the dogs. If this interests anyone please send me an email at: tinaspack@hotmail.com. I hope I will find the right homeowner to help.

Return to Provincial Sales Tax worries businesses

By Tom Fletcher Black Press

Returning to the old Provincial Sales Tax (PST) next April 1 will increase paperwork for British Columbia businesses and cost them Harmonized Sales Tax (HST) credits on equipment and other inputs, the legislature finance committee reminded the B.C. Liberal government Nov. 14. After its annual tour of the province to get input on the 2013 budget, the committee urged Finance Minister Mike de Jong to consider its expert panel recommendations to ease the impact on business of scrapping the HST. Some industry associations want the government to provide a tax credit that would compensate them for the PST they will have to pay on purchases of machinery and equipment. Those taxes were lifted under the HST, which recovered revenue by extending seven per cent sales taxes to a range of consumer ser-

vices that won’t be taxed starting next spring. The finance committee was also asked to consult the public on a “made-in-B.C. valueadded tax” that would accomplish some of the goals of the HST under another name. That would be a volatile discussion to begin with a provincial election set for May 14, 2013. The administrative burden of the switch starts with businesses reprogramming cash registers and other systems to go back to two separate sales taxes. The switch to the HST in 2010 revealed some national retailers were not accurately applying the B.C. sales tax, which has decades of accumulated exemptions and rules that don’t apply in other provinces. The finance ministry has been working on a system to allow businesses to register online for the return of the PST, and to train owners of thousands of businesses that have started up since the HST conversion in 2010.

The ministry has set up a website for businesses to manage the transition at www.pstinbc.ca The finance committee has also endorsed a widespread business call to balance the provincial budget starting next spring. The effects of the worldwide
