LITTLE WOMEN, THE MUSICAL, A HIT The Studio Theatre’s production of Little Women is getting rave reviews from audiences. The classic favorite book comes to life in unique ways with some scenes produced with a shadow image effect between past and present as Jo tells her animated stories. The production keeps up a lively pace, filling the stage with dance and song. In this scene Josephine March, (Stacey Poirier right) begs her grumpy Aunt March, (Liz Smith), to take her to Europe with her. Alas it is not to be. Little Women continues this week and next week. People are advised to get tickets early as this is bound to be a sellout. The cast includes Kathleen MacDonald, Sarah Hanet, Moriah Smith, Val Hanet, Mark Kroeker, Cody Slin, Don Fornwald, Jay Goddard, and Jenn Dryden. Tickets are available at About Face Photography.

The Fraser Basin Council is hosting Embracing Our Diversity, a one-day forum in Williams Lake on diversity, multi-culturalism and anti-racism next week. The interactive forum is set for Tuesday, March 12 and will utilize an arts-based process to explore community issues and experiences around multi-culuturalism and inclusion and to record issues, dialogue and outcomes. The Canadian Mental Health Association, Cariboo Chilcotin Branch (CMHA CCB) is working with FBC to co-ordinate the forum. “My position allows me to be part of some very unique and innovative projects,” says Bettina Schoen, manager for the Multiculturalism Program at CMHA CCB. “That help to build community and bring people of many differ-
ent cultural backgrounds together. CMHA’s Multiculturalism Team is looking forward to sharing experiences with community members at the Embracing Our Diversity Forum.” Other project partners include the Central Cariboo Arts and Culture Society and the City of Williams Lake with Anne Burrill, manager of social development, and city Coun. Laurie Walters participating, “The Williams Lake Diversity Mural Project is an exciting project for the city to be involved with,” Walters says. “It is wonderful that we will be discovering ways to broaden awareness of the multiple ethnicities of people who work live and play in Williams Lake.” PeerNetBC’s executive director Iris Yong will also be an active participant in the forum. Yong was in Williams Lake last year to provide
facilitation training to the City of Williams Lake Junior Council. This forum is the first in a series of activities that are part of a larger project that will roll out over the spring and summer. Fraser Basin Council (FBC) proposes to carry out a communitybased arts engagement project that uses the arts to bring diverse groups together. The culmination of the project will see an outdoor painted mural designed and installed at Jubilee Place with participation of community members of all ages, ethnicities and backgrounds. Well-known local artist Dwayne Davis, whose mural work can be seen all round Williams Lake, will be coordinating the mural installation. Participation in community art projects builds bonds between all ages, backgrounds and ethnicities. A community whose members are en-

NEWS Fall down in front of a billion people and other recipes for success
When Jennifer Lawrence won best actress at the Oscars a couple weeks ago I was practically olive with envy. Not because of her Oscar win, but because on her way up the stairs to the podium she tripped on her dress and fell in front of an audience of her peers and about a billion viewers. Just to add a splash of fuel to my jealousy, she took the tumble at only 22 years of age. I should have been so lucky. Instead I have spent nearly half a century accumulating enough embarrassing moments to reach the point of epiphany that none of it matters. It never mattered. I have done a lot of humiliating things in my life and no doubt I will continue to do more. And that’s ok. It’s what you get for being human. We spend so much time trying to
appear nonhuman; like we’ve got it all together. We go to such effort to hide our tiny cracks of humanity because we think if others saw them they wouldn’t like us. We know they certainly wouldn’t admire us. And oh, how we want to be loved and admired! When Jennifer fell I am willing to bet there wasn’t a single person watching who thought, “Well that’s it. I’m crossing her off my possible friend list.” Instead, when she regained her footing and made it to the podium she received a standing ovation to which she quipped, “You’re just standing because you feel sorry for me because I fell.” I think they stood because she had just won the most coveted award for a female actor; but I also think they got to
SLICE OF LIFE SHANNON McKINNON
their feet a little faster and clapped a little harder because she fell. Truth is we don’t like perfect people. We like people better when they screw up. It’s an interesting conundrum how we always root for the underdog, but no one wants to be one. But it goes even deeper than that. We like underdogs but we want to see them overcome their obstacles. If Jennifer Lawrence had fell and then given into humiliation and self pity it would have been
different. If she had a complete meltdown on the stairs weeping and refusing to get up, or if she had stumbled off into the wings refusing to collect her Oscar, we might have felt sorry for her, but we wouldn’t have liked it. What earned our admiration and brought everyone so quickly to their feet, was that Jennifer got back up and carried on. She accepted her trophy with humour and grace. Isn’t that what movies are made of? Jennifer’s fall was like a mini-movie in of itself. Heroine wins, heroine stumbles and falls, heroine gets back up again, heroine achieves worldwide recognition and lives happily ever after. We never get tired of the story. But there’s a reason the credits roll and we leave the theatre when we reach the ‘happily ever after’ part.
If we had to stay in our seats and watch Snow White accepting roses, kisses and proclamations of undying love from Prince Charming for the next fifty years we might start wishing the evil Queen would make a comeback. Not me of course, but chances are someone might. There might even be some flinging of popcorn and perhaps a boo and a hiss. We humans are a pretty fickle crowd when it comes right down to it. And that’s why it isn’t worth worrying about. None of it adds up to a hill of beans. What brings you love and admiration this week will only earn you jealousy and derision the next. Life is truly like a roller coaster. One second you’re on top of the world, the next you’re plummeting back down to the depths
hair-straight-back. But that’s okay, because soon you’ll be pushing your way back up to those dizzying heights once again. She’s all peaks and valleys and ups and downs. The secret to success is to fall down seven times and get up eight. The secret to happiness is to
enjoy the sunshine on your face and the wind in your hair whether you’re on the way up or coming back down. Shannon McKinnon is a syndicated humour columnist from Northern BC. You can read past columns by visiting www.shannonmckinnon.com

Women who smoke through their adult lives have triple the risk of dying compared to women of the same age who have never smoked. The good news is that those women who quit before the age of 40 can reduce this risk by 90%. Stopping before the age of 30 is even better. What’s better still is not to start smoking. Thyroid pills are taken daily by many Canadians to supplement what their own thyroid gland isn’t providing. Absorption is best on an empty stomach and people usually take it in the morning. Since many drugs are taken in the morning, you can take your thyroid pills in the evening at bedtime. Whatever time you choose, be consistent and take it at the same time each day.

Besides not asking for directions while traveling, men seem more hesitant to visit their doctors unless they have a serious problem. They are also less willing to ask for more information about their medications. This is a good time for men to get to know their pharmacists better and use them as a reliable information source.

BC Cowboy Hall of Fame showcases cowboys who made a difference Mark McMillan Special to The Tribune British Columbia’s early history was carved out of the wilderness by thousands of hard working and often forgotten cowboys. The BC Cowboy Hall of Fame was started by the BC Cowboy Heritage Society in 1998 to capture the memories of these living legends and share their stories. The committee believes that induction into the Cowboy Hall of Fame is the only formal way to recognize and record into history the contributions of these “hard working and often forgotten cowboys.” The committee limits Hall of Fame eligibility to actual working cowboys to help ensure the legends, both pres-
ent and past, and their contributions to B.C.’s heritage will not be forgotten or overshadowed. The criteria, in all of the following categories, are that the nominee must be, or have been, a professional working cowboy or rancher whose contributions have been made in B.C. The categories are guidelines only and include: Working Cowboy, Competitive Achievements, Ranching Pioneer, Horseman, Artistic Achievements, Family, and Century Ranch. Descriptions of these categories can be found on the website www.bcchs.com under “Hall of Fame.” The 100 Mile House area was very much a part of B.C.’s begin-

Proposed B.C. refinery switches technology By Tom Fletcher Black Press Newspaper publisher David Black is revising his B.C. environmental assessment application for a large-scale heavy oil refinery in Kitimat to use a new refining process to reduce its environmental impact. Black gave an update on the project to a B.C. Chamber of Commerce breakfast in Vancouver Wednesday, saying he has found most of the $25 billion in financing needed, and buyers for the refinery’s fuel products. He said customer contracts and financing are to be finalized within two months. Black also released a Mustel Group poll conducted in February that shows three out of four people support the idea to refine crude oil in Kitimat. A 57 per cent majority continue to oppose the Enbridge Northern Gateway plan to pipe crude to Kitimat and load it on ocean tankers. Black said rejection of pipelines would only push crude oil producers to use rail transport to reach his refinery and other buyers. The new process makes synthetic fuels from the heavy tar left over from conventional oil refining, instead of extracting the carbon as petroleum coke as is done in Alberta and elsewhere. Black said in an interview there are currently four other heavy oil refineries under construction around the world, two in Africa and two in Saudi Arabia. All are about the same scale as his proposed Kitimat Clean plant, processing about 400,000 barrels per day of heavy oil using

Publisher David Black says he has the financing and buyers to complete a large-scale refinery at Kitimat, which can get Alberta heavy oil by rail if necessary. “cokers” that extract the coal-like byproduct. A refinery of that size would fill 100 rail cars per day with petroleum coke, which is typically burned for metal production and contains sulphur as well as similar carbon intensity to metallurgical coal. Shell’s refinery at Anacortes, Wa. currently processes Alberta oil sands crude using cokers, selling the petroleum coke for aluminum refining. The new process adds hydrogen from natural gas to combine with the excess carbon in heavy oil, increasing the amount of gasoline, jet fuel and diesel produced. “It will be 50 per cent cleaner than any other refinery in the world,” Black said. “It’s going to cost about $3 billion more, and I’m going to organize the money for it.” The process received a Canadian patent last fall for Calgary-based Expander Energy. It adapts a process developed in Germany in the

early 1900s to convert coal to synthetic gas, which was relied on for vehicle and aircraft fuel by the German armed forces while their conventional fuel sources were embargoed during World War II. Expander’s modified process converts bitumen, petroleum coke, biomass or municipal solid waste into gas products used to make synthetic diesel and jet fuel.

Challenges of eating healthy presented themselves, and Kaytor quickly realized there was a lack of available wholesome fast food for anyone living an on-the-go lifestyle. “At the time I was travelling a lot and during this time I realized the need for wholesome fast food,” said Kaytor,
who moved to Williams Lake from Bella Coola in 2005. “I kind of knew the past 10 years that I wanted to do something different and something where I could do something positive for others and help improve their lives.” Two years later, having overcome her own health problems, Kaytor decided to act on her observations. “I started thinking: ‘What if I create a space where I can provide these healthy options for the other people who have the full-time jobs and the families and can’t take the time to cook this way, or to look into these types of things.’” She opened Smashin’ Smoothies in the Sand-
man Complex, facing Save On Foods, in Williams Lake on Dec. 15, 2012. Smashin’ Smoothies is a juice, smoothie and espresso bar utilizing fresh, organic produce. Her business philosophy, she said, is to provide healthy and affordable products efficiently utilizing organic ingredients and non-refined foods. “I do not use any chemical sweeteners or refined sugars,” she said. “We have organic coffees, we have juices, smoothies, we make our own chocolate sauce here for hot chocolates and we make our own chai tea. We also make snacks, energy balls and that kind of thing, and we have soups on
every day for lunch.” There’s literally a tasty, healthy option for everyone on the menu, she said, and adds they also carry a line of organic herbal teas from the U.K. She also caters to anyone with food allergies or specific dietary needs. Smashin’ Smoothies is open Monday to Friday from 7:30 a.m. until 6 p.m., and on Saturdays from 9 a.m. until 4 p.m. Kaytor said they will continue to extend their business hours in the evenings as the daylight grows longer.

Joe Oliver on oil, gas and coal
B.C. VIEWS TOM FLETCHER
Federal Natural Resources Minister Joe Oliver attended last week’s international conference in Vancouver on liquefied natural gas development. I spoke with him about Canada’s energy exports and emissions. Here are excerpts from that discussion: President Barack Obama’s recent state of union address seemed to hint at approval for the Keystone XL pipeline from Alberta to U.S. refineries, with perhaps some measure to go along with it like a carbon cap and trade market. Your government has backed North American cap and trade before. Would you do it again? JO: No, we’re not thinking about that at all. The U.S. Congress is opposed to that concept from what I understand. TF: Your party ran ads targeting NDP leader Thomas Mulcair and equating cap and trade with a carbon tax. They’re not the same, are they? JO: The end result is that taxes increase because of how we handle carbon. It hasn’t been successful in Europe at all. Anyway, it’s not part of our thinking. We are making significant progress on greenhouse gas emissions. Our recent regulations regarding heavyduty vehicles, the previous rules regarding cars and
light trucks, which are identical to the U.S., are going to be helpful. And also the rules relating to coal-fired electricity. It’s our objective to see all those coal plants closed, and in that regard we’re certainly ahead of the U.S. Coal is contributing 40 times the greenhouse gas emissions of the oil sands. And actually the oil sands are less than half the emissions from coal-fired electricity in the state of Illinois. We’re moving with the U.S. on the over-arching
objective of reducing our greenhouse gas emissions by 17 per cent from 2005 to 2020, but we’re also doing other things that the U.S. hasn’t yet decided to do. We’ve been approaching the reduction of emissions on a sectoral basis, and the next area of focus will be regulations in the oil and gas sector. TF: You’re comfortable with the idea that exporting LNG that replaces coal is an appropriate step at this time, one that’s doable as opposed to these Kyoto-type
gestures? JO: It is doable. And on a global basis, this would be a very significant development. If China, for example, could significantly move from coal to gas, that would have a huge impact. Canada’s small. We’re about two per cent of global emissions. We have to do our part, that’s the responsible thing to do, but it’s the big emitters that are going to make the difference to global emissions.
TF: International Energy Agency talks about selfsufficiency in the U.S., oil and gas, by 2035. What does that mean for the Canadian economy? JO: Firstly, I don’t think they’re going to be self-sufficient in oil. North America will be self-sufficient in gas and oil. What it means is, for gas we’re going to have to find new markets, and for oil we’re going to have to find markets to sustain the growth in supply. The United States will still
be a big buyer of Canadian oil. We’re shipping about two and a half million barrels a day, of which a million comes from the oil sands. Right now we’re losing about $50 million a day because of the crude oil bottleneck in the U.S. midwest, compared to international prices. We absolutely must find new markets, which is why our government in principle is supporting the transport of oil and gas to the west, to the east, continuing to the south and possibly even the north.

Where to go, what to do. Terri Clark in concert Tuesday Canada’s country sweetheart Terri Clark will be performing in Williams Lake March 12 as part of her Canadian tour. With more than four million albums sold and more than a dozen top 10 hits to her credit, Terri Clark has emerged as a singular voice on the country music landscape – driving, passionate, spirited – and every bit her own woman. The Alberta native is an eight-time, fanvoted Canadian Country Music Association Entertainer of the Year and multiple Juno winner. She’s the only Canadian female to be inducted into the Grand Ole Opry. In 2004 Clark joined the cast of the Grand Ole Opry, tapping into the rich traditions of country music’s most famous stage. Her biography states that her distinctive sound is inspired by the hardcore honky-tonk of Merle Haggard; the
Terri Clark California countryrock of Linda Ronstadt and Emmylou Harris; tough-minded women like Loretta Lynn and Patsy Cline; and Canadian stars like Hank Snow to Neil Young. The songs of her latest album Classic span four decades of timeless country music,
starting with the tunes young Terri learned via impromptu livingroom parties her grandparents often hosted. Clark’s maternal grandparents raised five kids while playing country music in Montreal nightclubs with names like The Kit Kat an The Western Stop.
Terri’s grandfather would break out his fiddle, her grandmother would start singing; soon it seemed like the entire neighbourhood would join in. “My grandmother was nicknamed The Canadian Kitty Wells; that’s what they called her around Montreal,” Terri says in her biography. “They couldn’t go to Nashville and take a bigger stab at it -with five kids that just wasn’t going to happen. So I made the pioneer trip to Tennessee.” Songs on Classic include popular oldies such as It Wasn’t God Who Made Honky Tonk Angels or I’m Movin’ On and The Singing Ranger. Up and coming country artist Kira Isabella will be joining Terri Clark as the opening artist at each of her Canadian dates. Clark’s tour will be in support of World Vision, and event attendees will have the opportunity to sponsor
Chiwid TransiTion house
children at all of the tour dates. Kira Isabella was born Sept. 18, 1993. Her first single Love Me Like That was released in 2011 and charted on the Canadian Hot 100. In 2011 she released her second single A Real Good Radio and her third single A Little More work in 2012. Clark will be performing at the Gibraltar Room, Tuesday, March 12. Tickets are $45 (cash only) and available at Margetts Meats and Bob’s Shoes, Workwear and Repair.

International Women’s Day The Women’s Contact Society will celebrate International Women’s Day with a business fair, dinner and a concert this Friday evening at Thompson Rivers University. This will be the third year that the society will salute one special woman with its Women with Heart Award for her outstanding contributions to the commu-
nity. The first year the award was presented to former SD 27 Superintendent of schools Diane Wright. Last year the award was presented to rodeo competitor, educator and First Nations leader Joan Gentles. The name of this year’s recipient is under wraps until the presentation on Friday
evening, says Irene Willsie, Women’s Contact Society executive director. She says 14 businesses are lined up to participate in the trade fair which begins at 5 p.m. with appetizers. The dinner begins at 6:30 p.m. with the award presentation and entertainment to follow. “It will be an evening to celebrate women in

A Gift At Its Heart In the first attempt at a Parson’s Pen I offered a few thoughts about a great idea: unity. There is a related, but more powerful idea -‘COMMUNITY’. It is a word we use all the time, with many different nuances of meaning. Many would say it has become watered down from overuse. However, we should not ignore it -- we should restore it. Recently, I did some digging on this high impact word and was surprised by what I found. I realize I am about to sound like a word geek (and I am one!), but stick with me! I have assumed that ‘community’ grew from the Latin prefix ‘cum’ (with) in combination with the noun ‘unus’ (unity). This combination of words suggests ‘togetherness’ -- makes sense right? Well, it turns out that this word is not related to ‘unus’ but rather to ‘munus’ -- Cum-munus. ‘Munus’ means ‘gift’. Ponder that for a second. Com-munity means ‘together-with-gifts’ or ‘sharing-ofgifts’. It is about coming together to contribute gifts, strengths, time and energy for mutual benefit. Think of the implications! We should not trip lightly over this word, throw it around cheaply, or distort it with political ideologies. It carries a deep message about the voluntary contribution of
PARSONS PEN
BY JEREMY VOGT strengths for mutual benefit -- and it can change our city if we take it seriously. Imagine a city, or a neighborhood, focused on celebrating the strengths of its citizens! This kind of posture would create the opportunity to truly collaborate for positive change in neighborhoods and cities. Peter Block is an author, and an advocate of community engagement. In his book Community: The Structure of Belonging, he says “Communities are built from the assets and gifts of their citizens, not from the citizens’ needs or deficiencies. Sustainable
transformation is constructed in those places where citizens choose to come together to produce a desired future.” I hear an invitation in those words for us as a city. In 1 Corinthians 12:27, the Apostle Paul used the metaphor of the human body to describe how God’s church works: “Now you are the Body of Christ and each one of you is a part of it.” The Spirit of God empowers the people of Jesus. He gives them strengths and gifts and helps them work in harmony, fulfilling The Great Commands and the Great Commission. I believe this body image also provides a possible picture of the way Williams Lake can work together. City friends, let’s take the full meaning of ‘com-munity’ seriously. It is a gift at its heart! Note: the next Christian Leaders Network Luncheon is scheduled for Thursday, March 21st at Signal Point Gaming. This $10 buffet luncheon will feature a vital conversation about domestic violence, geared toward highlighting this issue, gaining awareness of organizations working with victims, and developing action steps for individuals, churches and the Christian community. Buffet opens at 11:45. Program starts at Noon and will end promptly at 1:15pm.

March is Fraud Prevention Month Every year thousands of Canadians fall victim to fraud, including in and around Williams Lake. “Over the last while we’ve noticed more people calling regarding scams, whether it’s a letter in the mail or phone call selling ink or whatever,” RCMP community safety representative Dave Dickson said. Most people don’t think that it will ever happen to them, but fraudsters continue to use increasing sophisticated methods to target residents of all ages and from all walks of life. Fraud Prevention Month is an annual event that gives private and public organizations involved in the fight against fraud an opportunity to further raise public awareness. Through awareness, people can avoid becoming victims. Williams Lake RCMP Insp. Warren Brown advised he continues to see an alarming increase of frauds reported to his detachment. “This is not acceptable and we are certainly going to do our very best to attempt to inform our community,” he said, adding being cautious is something to be proud of. Whether shielding a PIN number from view or asking questions of telemarketers, people should not be afraid of offending those who are asking for information
Williams Lake RCMP community safety representative Dave Dickson says scams are on the rise. Monica Lamb-Yorski photo or money. Over the next four weeks, the RCMP will be participating in a series of local fraud awareness initiatives. To help reduce your chances of being victimized by fraud, local agencies have kindly offered to assist in getting the prevention messages out to the community, including local media, Dickson said. The Better Business Bureau has identified the top 10 scams. They will be featured through the month, starting with the first three on Mar. 8’s Tribune Weekender. Topping the list are the advertising trolls who scam consumers who post ads to free online listings like Craigslist. The consumer becomes the target of unlicensed telemarket-
ing companies who are trolling through online ads to find someone to make an easy buck from. Scamming companies often guarantee to sell vehicles quickly and promise a moneyback guarantee. They rarely sell it, yet charge a seller a fee. And that’s money people could save by selling things themselves. Rather than being misled by promises of guaranteed sales, check companies out on www. bbb.org. The second scam of the week is the online romance scam. It’s very dicey to trust people one meets virtually because while they may spend time building a relationship online, if they are a criminal, that’s all part of the plan.
Warning signs are when requests for money start to appear, with pleas the requesters has no family or friends to turn to. Finally, the internet investment scam where fraudsters contact you by e-mail or social media or somehow lead you to a website designed to gather personal information for the purpose of identity theft. Don’t expect to get rich quickly, experts warn, and don’t be lured by claims of insider information. Delete and block spam emails and do your own research. Before making any investments, people need to retrieve as much information as possible and keep copies of all correspondence and investment information. Brown said due to the Internet social media, scams have become international as opposed to being localized so in-
vestigating them is becoming more and more difficult and costly. “I think education and awareness are key to preventing scams. We get phone calls daily with people telling us the police just gave me a message on my computer telling me if I pay them $125 I’ll get my computer back.” That’s not something the RCMP would ever do, he said. “And if you get a letter from a lawyer saying ‘you have $125 million from a lost uncle, and all we need to do is open an account under your name so give us $2,500,’ don’t do it.” Brown said the top 10 list is not “exhaustive” but it’s a start. To report scams contact the Canadian AntiFraud Centre (Phone Busters) at www.antifraudcentre.ca or call 1 888 495-8501. Dickson can also be reached at 250-3928701.

Healthy eating and exercise important for Alzheimer patients
SIGN-UP 2013
March is Nutrition Month, so there’s no better time to get started on healthier eating for a healthier brain, says the Alzheimer Society of B.C. in its latest press release. Research shows that healthy lifestyles may help reduce the risk of Alzheimer’s disease, and/or slow the disease progress once it has begun. Adopting a healthy diet may reduce the risk of Alzheimer’s disease directly, especially when coupled with physical activity and exercise, but also indirectly by reducing specific risk factors such as diabetes, heart disease and obesity. Healthy eating does not mean that you can never eat your favourite foods again or that you have to ‘diet’ or buy ‘special foods.’ Rather, it means learn-
ing to make healthier choices in the foods you eat, finding new or different ways to prepare these foods, and eating in moderation. Here are some basic principles adapted from Living a Healthy Life with Chronic Conditions BC Ministry of Health Services to help you start eating healthier: 1. Eating a variety of foods. This allows the body to get all the essential nutrients it needs to function well. These nutrients include protein, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins and minerals. Taking vitamins and food supplements can never replace eating a variety of foods. These “extras” contain only the nutrients we know about. To get all the essential nutrients (both known and unknown), we need to eat a variety of foods.
2. Eating regularly and eating breakfast every day. This provides the body with the fuel it needs to function well throughout the day. Breakfast is important because it is the first source of energy for the body after a long night of fasting. Deciding how to space the meals will depend on an individual’s needs. Some people may do well with three regular meals spaced four to five hours apart, while others may need to eat smaller, more frequent meals or snacks during the day. 3. Eating the same amount at each meal. This ensures that the body has an adequate supply of energy to function optimally throughout the day. Not eating enough or skipping meals can throw your system off and lead to habits such as snack-
ing on sweets and ‘junk’ food. Eating too much can cause problems as well, such as indigestion or increased discomfort. A great way to start healthy eating habits is to follow Canada’s Food Guide, a free publication provided by Health Canada. To download or order a copy of the guide, visit www.healthcanada. gc.ca/foodguide or call 1-866-225-0709.
Although it is still not possible to talk about absolute prevention, research increasingly confirms that taking steps toward a healthy lifestyle now may reduce your risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease or another form of dementia in the future. To learn more, visit the “Healthy Brain” section of our website, www.alzheimerbc.org.

Good things come in small packages Lorie Chortyk My office roommate has her quirks. She spends most of the day snoozing, is obsessive about exercise and can be a bit self-righteous about her healthy vegetable-and-seed diet. But I guess she can be forgiven her eccentricities given that my office mate is actually a dwarf hamster named Holly, whose spacious habitat overlooks my desk at the head office of the BC SPCA.
Like Holly, hundreds of hamsters, guinea pigs, rabbits and other small animals are surrendered to the SPCA and are in need of loving homes. Each year the BC SPCA designates March as Small Animal Month to draw attention to these wonderful pint-sized pets available for adoption at shelters across the province. Small animals are often overlooked, perhaps because people don’t see them as real pets.
But rabbits, guinea pigs, gerbils, rats and hamsters come with delightful and inquisitive personalities, fascinating behaviours and the ability to enrich our lives. While Homer’s nocturnal habits make him a quiet and unassuming office-mate, he regularly rouses himself from sleep to greet colleagues or visitors who pop by, in the hopes they may have brought along a hamster treat or two.
WOW what a dish!
The Cariboo Potters Guild is selling 100 tickets for 100 10-inch serving platters as admission to a special pottery show and sale at the Ramada (OV) Convention Centre tonight, March 8. The event includes entertainment, sweet and savoury appetizers, door
prizes and a silent auction to help raise funds for guild supplies and rent on its studio space in the Central Cariboo Arts Centre. The silent auction will include all kinds of hand made items including handtied fishing flies, prints, paintings, wooden toys and other items, says
event organizer Judy Prevost. “There will be a ton of door prizes,” Prevost says. Members of the band Soupbone are providing the acoustic music for the event that will run from 7 to 10 p.m. Tickets are available at the Station House Gallery.
He also has very particular home design ideas and spends hours rearranging the tubes, toys and treats I put into his habitat to get the look “just right.” Small animals are great for people who have pet restrictions where they live. They don’t take up a lot of space or make much noise. But small animals do have unique care needs and, as with cats and dogs, people should familiarize themselves
with the animal’s characteristics to ensure a suitable match. So, before you head out to a BC SPCA shelter to adopt, check out our pet care pages first to learn what you need to do to keep your potential pet happy and healthy. Then, should you feel ready to bring a small animal (or two!) into your life, check our adoption listings (spca. bc.ca) or stop by a shelter to find one just right for you.

“Ethnic-Gate” a wake-up call for Aboriginal people The Congress of Aboriginal People is calling on Aboriginal peoples to use the power of the vote to have Treaty and Aboriginal rights recognized in Canada, according to a March 7 press release from congress communications director Julian Morelli “The British Columbia provincial election “ethnic-gate” is a wakeup call to all Aboriginal people in B.C. and should be a wake-up call to all Aboriginal Peoples throughout Canada on the importance of voting,” said Congress of Aboriginal Peoples National Chief, Betty Ann Lavallee, CD, (Ret’d) in the press release this week. “In fact, it was only 53 years ago-March 10, 1960 that Aboriginal people were given the right to vote in Canada without preconditions.” The B.C. liberal Government “ethnic-gate” internal memo outlined a communication and outreach strategy to entice ethnic voters in the upcoming election. The 17-page document, described ways of earning “quick wins” among voters by apologizing for various historic wrongs.http://bit.
ly/WupEOV These types of political strategies highlight the importance of why Aboriginal Peoples need to become engaged in the voting process as it gives a window into how strategies are developed to try and influence voters during elections. The Congress of Aboriginal Peoples (CAP) and its B.C. affiliate organization, the United Native Nations Society (UNNS) is calling for all off-reserve Aboriginal People to become more involved in mainstream political organizations at the federal and provincial levels. “We are urging Aboriginal People living off-reserve to seriously consider joining the political party of their choice,” stated National Vice-Chief Ron Swain. “We are taking the position that all Aboriginal people must become informed and vote in every election and not continue to use the rational that because we are Sovereign Nations we should not vote. We can be a voice of influence from within Political Parties.” Lillian George, president of UNNS echoed
the same sentiment stating, “I have written to all the provincial political parties asking a number of questions important to the thousands of off-reserve Aboriginal Peoples in British Columbia. Based on their responses we will be in position to advocate on behalf of one party, or at the minimum, identify the political parties to consider not voting for. Given the large block of off-reserve Aboriginal Peoples, we have the power to change the election results.” In the 2000 federal election, turnout for aboriginal voters on reserves was less than 50 per cent. By comparison, the overall Canadian voter turnout was 61.2 per cent. A 2004 CBC online report described several theories on why aboriginal voter turnout tends to be low. “One is that larger proportions of aboriginals are povertystricken or lack postsecondary education. Also, in the eyes of many aboriginals, native concerns aren’t a big enough focus of Canadian politicians’ campaigns.” (Refer-

Minister quits over ethnic memo Richmond-Steveston MLA John Yap has resigned from the B.C. cabinet pending the outcome of an investigation into government conduct on outreach to ethnic communities. Premier Christy Clark told the legislature Monday that Yap is stepping aside as advanced education and multiculturalism minister until an internal investigation is complete. Clark apologized for a third time in the legislature Monday, before being grilled by NDP MLAs about her office staff’s involvement in the plan. Speaking to reporters after question period, Clark did not rule out resigning herself, depending on the outcome of an internal probe by her deputy minister. “When we have all the facts, and when the report is tabled, we will likely be required to take further action, and I will take that action,” Clark said. B.C. Liberal MLAs held an extended caucus meeting Monday to discuss a leaked memo describing use of government resources to boost the party’s popularity with ethnic communities.
Cabinet ministers held a hastily arranged meeting in Vancouver Sunday, and emerged united in support of Clark. One disputed point is a plan to apologize in the legislature this month for the “head tax” on Chinese immigrants, imposed by Ottawa from 1885 to 1935. Such apologies are proposed in the strategy memo as “quick wins” before the May 14 provincial election. Retiring B.C. Liberal MLA Kash Heed objected to the move on the weekend, telling CKNW radio that such an apology would be “hollow.” The NDP released another document Monday, a December 2011 spreadsheet describing a meeting to “target swing ridings” and “target ethnicities” including Chinese, South Asian, Filipino, Korean, Vietnamese and Japanese. Clark announced Friday that she has accepted the resignation of her long-time assistant, Kim Haakstad, who distributed the ethnic voter plan to party and government staff via their personal e-mail addresses. Haakstad, Clark’s deputy chief of staff, and “outreach” staff from the premier’s office are subject to an
Information posted Continued from A23 The Congress of Aboriginal Peoples will be posting information to their website on how to register to vote. “In addition, we will post questions addressed to the various political parties during the 2006 election, which resulted in only the Conservative Party of Canada responding to our queries and concerns regarding policy positions for Aboriginal Peoples living off-reserve,” explained Chief Lavallée. “This is being done to provide an example of how political engagement can influence government policies for Aboriginal peoples. After all, as off-reserve tax-paying
peoples, we will be paying for the salaries of the elected officials. Now is the time for Aboriginal people to change their attitude and get out and vote!” Since 1971, the Congress of Aboriginal Peoples (Formerly known as the Native Council of Canada) has been the National Representative Organization and the National Voice for the constituency and their affiliate organizations making up the Congress’ family of advocates for the Off-Reserve, Non-Status and Status Indians, Southern Inuit and Métis Aboriginal Peoples living in urban, rural remote and isolated areas throughout Canada.
internal investigation ordered by Clark Thursday. John Dyble, head of the public service, is to examine whether government resources were used to help deliver ethnic votes to the B.C. Liberal Party. The January 2012 draft strategy memo, leaked to the NDP, discusses ways to improve the governing party’s popularity with immigrant communities, including recruiting new members and spokespeople to call and write
to ethnic media outlets. Clark issued an apology for the document, read in the legislature Thursday by Deputy Premier Rich Coleman. “The document did not recognize there are lines that cannot be crossed in conducting this outreach [to ethnic communities] and it is unacceptable,” the statement says. “The language in this draft document and some of the recommendations are absolutely inappropriate.”

Tips from The CrD
escape planning
Plan Ahead. If a fire breaks out in your home, you may have only a few minutes to get out safely once the smoke alarm sounds. Everyone needs to know what to do and where to go if there is a fire.
SAFETY TIPS • • • • • • •
Draw a home escape plan and discuss it with everyone in your home. Practice the plan at night and during the day with everyone in your home, twice a year. Know at least two ways out of every room, if possible. Make sure all doors and windows leading outside open easily. Have an outside meeting place (like a tree, light pole or mailbox) a safe distance from the home where everyone should meet. Practice using different ways out.

TWO BEDROOM BUNGALOW In this two-bedroom bungalow, the steep pitch of the roof and the curve under the front gable, which is echoed by that over the front door, not to mention the decorative wooden scrolls — all these delightful artsand-crafts touches lend the design a happy-ever-after, fairy-tale quality. The covered entry, up two steps from the garden, leads into a compact foyer with a coat closet on the left. On the right is a guest room, complete with its own three-piece bathroom. A linen closet is tucked in near the entrance to the bathroom. Just beyond is the great room, dining room and kitchen, all flowing into one another to create a seamless space that will be ideal for both informal gatherings of family and friends and for quiet evenings at home. The great room features a fireplace, making it cosy in the cooler months. For the summer, access to a spacious terrace, with stairs down to the back garden, is shared with the dining room – the perfect spot for al fresco meals. The kitchen is separated from the other rooms only by an island with a raised eating bar, so the cook will be able to participate in whatever activities are going on nearby. The L-shaped counter configuration will save steps. The master suite overlooks the front garden and
boasts a walk-in closet, roomy enough for a couple’s clothing, as well as a three-piece ensuite. The cottage’s exterior is finished in wood siding, with painted trim, partly mullioned windows and painted wooden pilasters with river-rock bases. This home measures 33 feet wide and 50 feet deep, for a total of 1,266 square feet of living space. Plans for design 10-2-213 are available for $579 (set of 5), $657 (set of 8) and $594 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 12% H.S.T., 13% H.S.T. Or 5% G.S.T (where applicable) to both the plan price and Priority charges. Our NEW 45TH Edition of the Home Plan Catalogue containing over 300 plans is available for $13.50 (includes taxes, postage and handling). Make all cheque and money orders payable to “Home Plan of the Week” and mail to: HOME PLAN OF THE WEEK c/o...

Eleanor (Dodie) Joyce Hama It is with great sadness that the Hama family announces the sudden passing of Eleanor (Dodie) Hama on March 2, 2013 following a battle with cancer. With her family around her at her bedside, she went peacefully to be with the Lord after returning home to Williams Lake following a month stay at the Royal Inland Hospital in Kamloops. Dodie lived in Williams Lake for 38 years working in various capacities and during the last few years spent time working as an educational assistant at Maranatha Christian School. She loved working with children, particularly those with special needs. She will be greatly missed by many friends and colleagues in the community. She is survived by her husband, Patrick Hama, and their three sons Bradley (Lei), Matthew, and Timothy (Justine). Also by her sisters Shirley (Jim) Willems of Williams Lake, Trisha (John) Doerksen of Chilliwack and Jacquie (Gerry) Kornelson of Armstrong. She leaves behind many relatives who have been very special to her. She is predeceased by her son Daniel Seiji and parents, Henry and Kay Voth of Abbotsford. A Memorial Service is planned to celebrate her life. The service will be held Saturday, March 9, 2013 at 2:00 pm in Williams Lake at Cariboo Bethel Church, 833 Western Avenue. Donations may be made in Dodie’s name to the Maranatha Christian School Special Needs Education Program. The family would like to express their utmost gratitude to everyone for the amazing love, prayers and support during this exceedingly difficult time. They would also like to convey their appreciation to the hospital and medical staff at Cariboo Memorial and Royal Inland for their dedicated work and compassion during her time there. LaPrairie’s Funeral Services entrusted with arrangements. 250-398-9100
