Foresters call for inventory investment Tom Fletcher Black Press Professional foresters holding their annual convention in Victoria have added their voices to concerns raised by B.C.’s auditor general about the state of the province’s forests. The Association of B.C. Forest Professionals released their latest report on forest inventory, and concurred with Auditor General John Doyle’s report last week that knowledge of forest conditions has fallen behind in an era of rapid change. “In recent years, the mountain

pine beetle epidemic, as well as several severe fire seasons, has had tremendous impact on the forests,” said Sharon Glover, CEO of the foresters’ association. “Yet due to cutbacks, the scale of the provincial inventory program has been reduced.” The association’s report says 42 per cent of the province is represented by inventories completed prior to 1990, and 30 per cent of forest records date back to before 1980. The report’s top recommendation is “stable and adequate funding” for inventory work, which it estimates at $15 million per year.

The report says the budget for forest inventory research was $13.3 million four years ago, and has declined to $8.4 million for the fiscal year ending this March. Forester staff positions have gone from 40 full-time equivalents in 2006 to 27 in 2011. Finance Minister Kevin Falcon released an austerity budget Tuesday. It shows total spending for the recently consolidated Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations is to rise from $590 million in the current fiscal year to $602 million in 2012-13, then drop again to $555 million in 2013-14.

So nice to come home to. Call today to schedule a personal visit 250.305.1131 williamslakeseniorsvillage.com

The foresters’ report notes that new technology is being developed to check the state of B.C.’s vast forests, which cover three quarters of the province. Satellite imagery has been used to measure the extent of mountain pine beetle-affected forests, and a low-elevation digital camera system is also being used to identify recovery in beetle-affected stands. Forests Minister Steve Thomson says $6 million has been allocated to improve B.C.’s forest inventory, with emphasis on regions affected by beetle kill and wildfires.

AN APPLE A DAY... We often hear that we should drink eight cups of water a day... that’s about 2 litres. This isn’t necessarily so. Two litres of fluid per day is how we should describe our needs. That fluid includes coffee, tea, milk, fruits (which are 90% water) as well as stews and soups. One sign of adequate fluid intake is lightyellow urine. When the walls of veins, usually in the legs, have weakened, a bulging above the skin surface occurs. This is called varicose veins. Crossing your legs all the time does not cause it, neither does smoking or high heels. Although the cause isn’t entirely known, standing for long periods of time can increase pressure on the veins, plus there is a genetic component. Support stockings do help the condition.

We are sometimes asked why newborns need so many vaccines so early in their lives. Antibodies from the mom provide some protection but this wears off quickly in a month or so. Since newborns are so small, getting sick will affect them much more seriously than older children. It is safe to give multiple injections of vaccine to infants and adults.

News A selfless gift

“A gift of knowledge, a lifetime of discovery” are the words chosen to describe a program called Somatic Explorations. Somatic Explorations is an organization out of Coquitlam that looks after the Gift of Body or Anatomical Gift Program. We have all heard over the years of putting an organ donor sticker on our drivers licenses so that when we pass away our bodies can be donated to science research or transplant. This is similar to organ donations which take precedence over whole body donations which is only what Somatic can accept. Its mission statement mentions they are “to provide a detailed study of the anatomy of the human body for medical education that constitutes an invaluable and indispensable part of a complete experience.” Each year human remains donated for use in the education of physicians, nurses, chiropractors, physiotherapists and registered massage therapists and a host of other medical professions provide hands-on education to these students. Health-care professionals and care givers often pursue special courses in anatomy; the gift of human donation will assist these professionals in revisiting and honing their skills learned in theory. Any competent person

AT YOUR SERVICE RON MALMAS

over 18 may donate their body to medical study and research. After-death donations may also be made by a next-of-kin or executor. I think it is fair to say that not everyone who decides to donate their remains to science will be accepted. According to Somatic Explorations policy, a body may be

rendered unsuitable if the deceased was autopsied, has certain infectious diseases, had extensive trauma at time of death, or has extreme obesity or malnutrition at time of death. Somatic Explorations Inc. does not offer payment for bodies, but will assume responsibility for appropriate administrative and filing fees, as well as for the cost of transportation of the remains to its lab or to a similar facility near that person’s place of death if a great distance away. Human remains studies conducted vary from individual to individual case with studies being completed approximately 12 -24 months after donation.

Following the study, each body is cremated and placed in a sealed urn and families can choose to have the urn buried in the Coquitlam Cemetery or have them returned to their loved ones for final disposition of their choosing. If you wish to donate to a most selfless gift or would like to get more information on the web visit www.somaticexplorations.com or on Facebook at Somatic Explorations. Ron Malmas is the manager and funeral director/embalmer at Compassionate Care Funeral Home. If you have any questions for a future column, contact him at 250-3923336.

ATTENTION Parents & Graduating Students

More help for new housing, seniors Tom Fletcher Black Press Finance Minister Kevin Falcon found money in his restraint budget Tuesday to boost home building and renovations. First-time buyers are eligible for up to $10,000, but only if they buy a new home. That follows a harmonized sales tax break announced last

week, which raises the threshold for an HST rebate on new homes from $525,000 to $850,000. The HST rebate was also extended to the purchase of new vacation homes, offered until the HST reverts to the old provincial sales tax in March, 2013. Falcon also announced a new seniorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; home renovation tax credit offers up to

$1,000 for upgrades and modifications that allow seniors to remain in their homes. B.C. Federation of Labour president Jim Sinclair blasted the housing bonus, which he said goes mainly to wealthy people who can afford new homes, while government services for seniors, forestry and other needs canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t keep up. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Right now we have

the smallest public sector in the country, so obviously weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re struggling to meet those services,â&#x20AC;? Sinclair said.Â â&#x20AC;&#x153;The message of this budget is, if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re the one per cent, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to take care of you, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to make sure youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re well off.

Jessica Ahlquist, a sixteen year old high school student from Cranston, Rhode Island, has been the centre of a firestorm of controversy during the past four months. She first attracted local attention when she explained to her school Principal that a prayer mural in the gymnasium was offensive to her as a non-Christian. She went on to claim that that it made her feel ostracized and ask that it be taken down. She gained statewide attention when she appealed to the local city representatives stating her case and further stating that this prayer mural crossed the line between the separation of church and state. Jessica would gain US wide attention when her father, on her behalf, supported by the American Civil Liberties Union sued the city of Cranston to have the Prayer Mural removed on Constitutional grounds. She received International attention when a Supreme Court justice agreed with Jessica and ordered the mural to be removed from the wall of the gymnasium. Regardless of what I think about Jessicaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s view on division of church and state, I do admire the way she stood and challenged the status quo. As I continued to follow this story, I became outraged and honestly wept in frustration. What caused such a strong reaction was the response of

PARSONS PEN BY REVEREND BUBBA those who strongly disagreed with Jessicaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s thoughts and opposed the removal of the Prayer Mural. Jessica has been taunted and threatened at school, targeted by an online hate campaign, openly attacked on Facebook, and her Blog, and in the news media. Anger, slander, outrage and drama are common today among high school students and should come as a surprise to no one. However, many of the people attacking sixteen year old Jessica, where not her peers but self professed Christian adults! During the School Committee hearing to consider the issue, public outrage turned the meeting into a fervent revival with angry adults lined up to proclaim their allegiance to God, quote (misquote) the Bible and

condemn Jessica to Hell. Many of the comments, laced with swearing and vulgar language, were much to offensive and graphic for me to reprint here, but here is a small sample that I can repeat. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you take the banner down, you are spitting in the face of God.â&#x20AC;? Another banner supporter warned the council members, â&#x20AC;&#x153;You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t vote to take this down and say that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re standing with God.â&#x20AC;? The worst attack, and in my opinion the most shocking, came from Rhode Island State Representative Peter Palumbo, a Democrat who called Jessica, â&#x20AC;&#x153;an evil little thing.â&#x20AC;? Palumbo went on to infer that Jessica was just a pawn of evil people and the devil. I am far from an atheist, but I am disgusted with the manner that people,claiming to be representatives of Jesus, acted with such hatred toward a young girl. The public spectacle made by Christians was anything but loving. Even when the courts agreed with the legality of Jessicaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s case, religious folks were outraged that they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get there way and issued death threats and eternal damnations against a sixteen year old girl. God save your people from themselves...next time we will look at what defines Separation of Church and State.

Last stand in B.C. beetle battle

s MLAs resumed their raucous legislature arguments over a municipal auditorgeneral, the B.C. government’s own watchdog cut through the noise with a devastating audit of the state of Crown forests. Auditor General John Doyle’s survey of the province’s vast forest comes at a critical time. A team of forest ministry experts is examining the situation at Burns Lake, to see if the Babine Lake Forest Products sawmill can be rebuilt, after a tragic explosion and fire on Jan. 20. Babine was one of a string of high-volume mills along Highway 16 in northwestern B.C. that have been working their way through the enormous stock of decaying pine that surrounds them. The “shelf life” of these trees is estimated to extend to 2019, but that’s a best-case scenario. In reality the expanse affected by pest and disease is much more complex. The B.C. government touts its “Forests for Tomorrow” program that started in 2005 with a boost of federal funds to restock B.C.’s burned and beetle-killed forests. More than 14 million seedlings are to be planted this year and up to 21.5 million next year. Total planting is about 200 million trees this year, most done by industry as a condition of Crown timber licenses, as has been the practice since 1987.

B.C. VIEWS TOM FLETCHER

Is it enough, in this era of climate shift, massive die-off and fires? Doyle says no. “We noted a significant gap between the total area replanted by the ministry and the total area suitable for replanting,” the auditor writes. “The ministry has not indicated how this low level of silviculture investment reconciles with its legislated mandate to achieve long-term timber benefits and to maintain or enhance future timber supply.” And he criticizes the quality of industry reforestation, describing a tendency to choose “the least-cost, leastrisk approach to meet reforestation regulations, which means planting lower-cost, faster-growing species.” Species diversity and adaptation are what is needed. Cariboo North MLA Bob Simpson has watched pine, fir and spruce beetles chew through his region, march east through the Kootenays and now the north and west.

He says the Burns Lake situation brings into focus the biggest problem identified by the auditor: the poor state of B.C.’s forest inventory. As much as three quarters of it is out of date, some by decades. Much of it is based on aerial photographs rather than on-the-ground assessment by foresters. Species have shifted. And at a time when climate factors have caused the most rapid changes in the 100-year history of the B.C. Forest Service,

budget cuts and reorganization into a natural resources ministry have taken their toll. Even with the most recent appraisals completed last summer for four forest districts, including the Burns Lake district, the ministry still can’t say if there are enough logs available to rebuild Babine. Simpson says the industry knows the answer. Two of the world’s highest-capacity sawmills are at Houston and

Vanderhoof, on either side of Burns Lake, and their huge salvage log supply is degrading and running out. A political intervention to “save” the Burns Lake mill would only take shifts away from others. An alternative would be to make Burns Lake a proving ground for bioenergy, to deal with the huge mass of trees that will never make lumber. Finally, a bright note for Burns Lake. The people and

the economy are adapting. A job fair in the village offered entry-level as well as skilled positions at the Houston and Vanderhoof mills. There are more positions on offer at the Mount Milligan and Huckleberry mines and Enbridge, which has gas, solar and wind projects on the go.

News Softwood lumber exports to China shatter record The value of British Columbia’s softwood lumber exports to China jumped 60 per cent in 2011, surpassing the $1-billion mark for the first time. Since 2003, lumber exports to China have risen by more than 1,500 per cent. Total softwood lumber exports increased by seven per cent last year to $3.8 billion. The U.S. remains the largest market for B.C. lumber, accounting for almost $1.6 billion of exports. Japan, the recipient of $648 million worth of B.C. lumber in 2011, is the thirdlargest market followed by South Korea. Exports to South Korea rose by 30 per cent to $55.6 million, while those to India climbed 327 per cent to $10.6 million.

China now accounts for 32 per cent of B.C.’s total volume of exports of softwood lumber. Since 2003, at the start of the joint provincialfederal-industry market development program in China, exports to that country have risen from $69 million to almost $1.1 billion in 2011. In spite of the global economic slowdown, it is expected that B.C. exports of softwood lumber to China will continue to grow in 2012 as the Chinese government pursues its aggressive housing strategy. Forestry is one of the eight key sectors identified in “Canada Starts Here: The BC Jobs Plan.” The BC Jobs Plan builds on the province’s increasing trade with Asia by focusing on opening and expanding

markets for B.C. goods in key markets such as China, Japan, South Korea and India. “Our sales to China continue to be phenomenal and a testament to the enormous amount of hard work that has gone into developing the market for wood in China,” says Pat Bell, minister of jobs, tourism and innovation. “With much of the global market still struggling, it is imperative that we focus on those regions where there is growth, in particular Asia.” For more information, visit the BC Stats: Monthly Export Data Table at http:// www.bcstats.gov.bc.ca/ pubs/exp/expdata.pdf or to view the Canada Starts Here: The BC Jobs Plan, visit www.BCJobsPlan.ca.

SACRED HEART CATHOLIC SCHOOL

455 PIGEON AVENUE, WILLIAMS LAKE • 250.398.7770

SHAPING THE FUTURE

FOSTERING CREATIVITY

ith the introduction of a one-to-one netbook program, each child in grades 4-7 is given a personal computer to use in the classroom. The netbooks allow teachers to pull the web into their lessons as needed, making lessons come alive for students.

STIMULATING THE MIND

reativity focuses on the process of forming original ideas through exploration and discovery. With hired professionals from within the community the school offers art, dance, choir, and a complete band program.

acred Heart School is a learning community committed to developing the potential of each student and excellence in education. Individualized attention within small class settings provide all children the opportunity to succeed.

Q and A with New Principal Nick Iachetta

hat are the benefits of attending Sacred Heart School?

The beauty of being a Catholic school is that we can spend time to look at the other important teaching moments in a classroom and appreciate them fully. We understand that children are more than students and we work with parents to develop the whole child. Although academics is extremely important, our goal as Catholic educators is to first instil the same morals and values that reflect our faith and that parents teach at home.

o you have h to t be b Catholic C th li to t attend tt d Sacred S Heart?

No, you do not. Our doors are open to any family wanting their child to have a Christian education. Although we are a parish school, we openly invite families in the community to discover what the school has to offer. We have a number of families who are not Catholic but find that their children suit the caring and compassionate environment here.

hat is the cost?

Very reasonable considering the teacher to student ratio and education that occurs. For the 2012/13 school year our tuition will equal out to approximately $190 a month. What people don’t know is that paid tuition could be partially or fully tax deductible.

hat would you say are the biggest highlights of the school?

Oh that’s simple, the students. They are such a remarkable example of generosity and compassion. We are all very proud of them. I would say that a close second is our staff. They have such a passion for education and love for our students. They are just a great example of servant leadership and I am very proud to work with them.

hat does the future hold for Sacred Heart?

With a new 3-year strategic plan laid out, we have a clear vision and a staff that is eager and excited to hit our goals. We are really pursuing excellence at all levels of the school, just look at our new Kindergarten Prep class. Parents are welcome to stop by if they have questions. We are more than willing to work with any family who is passionate about their child attending our school. Our door is always open.

NURTURING THE BODY

tudents are taught the importance of a healthy lifestyle and this is promoted through a breakfast and hot lunch program and opportunities within the school where students, regardless of their ability, participate in sports and activities.

GUIDING THE SPIRIT

acred Heart School provides a solid, faith-based education that is open to all children of all religions. The educational program at Sacred Heart is directed towards the growth of the whole person. In partnership with parents, Sacred Heart is committed to the education and complete development of our students.

Sacred Heart Preschool and Daycare

acred Heart Daycare provides quality child daycare that benefits the child, the parent, the staff and the community. The Daycare staff is committed to providing children with a safe and engaging program that emphasizes learning through creativity. Daycare is offered for both half and full days.

acred Heart Preschool provides a service to families who want to give their children a head start before entering kindergarten. As all kindergarten classes across B.C. have now gone to full-time, Sacred Heart Preschool is happy to offer an exciting transitional class. To help better prepare our students we will be offering a Kindergarten Prep class starting in the 2012/13 school year. This class is available Monday to Friday from 8:30am - 12:00pm. Kindergarten Prep will give your children additional time to explore, create and learn in student-focused lessons each day. In order to meet the needs of all families we will still be running a 2-hour afternoon Preschool class from 1:00pm - 3:00pm. Both the Preschool and Daycare programs help children to develop a valid sense of self. They are encouraged to try, consider and create with independence in a fun and loving environment. Sacred Heart Preschool and Daycare truly are “Growing Happy Children”.

Simone Jennings Interior Health A strong immune system is the body’s best defense against colds and flu. Good nutrition is key to building your body’s defenses. Help fight common bugs by filling your diet with healthy foods. Load up on fruits and vegetables. They contain powerful antioxidants, vitamins and minerals which will build up your immune system to help fight off illness. Choose brightly coloured or dark green fruits and veggies for the most antioxidants. Aim for seven to eight servings per day. One serving equals one small to medium sized piece of fruit or vegetable or half a cup of chopped. Digestive health plays an important role in preventing sickness. Normally, your body contains “friendly” bacteria, or flora, that help fight off any “bad” bacteria trying to gain access to your system. Diets high in refined sugar, frequent antibiotic use, and everyday stress can disrupt this healthy balance of “friendly” versus “bad” bacteria, leaving one more vulnerable to sickness. You can help restore healthy digestive flora by eating foods that naturally contain good bacteria and/or by taking a probiotic supplement. Probiotics can be found naturally in fermented foods such as yogurt, buttermilk, miso, tempeh, and fresh sauerkraut. Vitamin D is also thought to play an important role in strength-

ening the immune system. Health Canada recommends 200-600 IU per day depending on age. Some other national health organizations recommend higher doses. For instance the Canadian Cancer Society recommends 1000 IU per day for adults during the fall and winter months. Dietary sources of vi-

tamin D include milk, fortified soy beverage, salmon, tuna, sardines and egg yolks. Talk to your health care provider to learn if you are getting enough Vitamin D. Of course nutrition is only part of the solution. Exercise is also a powerful way to bolster your immune system. Among

the many benefits of exercise is stress reduction. Stress takes a significant toll on our immune system so it’s important to take time for yourself. Get out for a brisk walk, bike ride, take part in yoga, or any physical activity that you enjoy! Simone Jennings is a community nutritionist with Interior Health.

Science World at TRU March 3 Science World British Columbia’s Community Science Celebration returns to Thompson Rivers University on March 3. “We’re thrilled to be returning to the Cariboo for this year’s Community Science Celebration,” says Bryan Tisdall, president and CEO of Science World British Columbia. “With community collaborators and our school and partner connections throughout the province, Science World can provide dynamic experiences to showcase the fun and relevance of science to children, teens and parents with our typical Science World flair.” This free family event takes place from 10:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the TRU gymnasium and selected science rooms. Three special presenta-

tions by the Science World team will be given during the day: the Science of Physics show at noon; the Amazing Chemistry Show at 1 p.m. and the Science Surprise Show at 3 p.m. The Community Science Celebration will also be filled with fun handson activities for youth to foster relationships with community organizations and set the stage for ongoing science activities. By profiling local businesses, industries, government agencies, schools and community organizations involved in science and technology, this event will bring the community together and showcase local science education opportunities. TRU science professor Marten Lettinga says there will be many return-

Science World On The Road brings Science World’s trademark jaw-dropping, playful approach to science into schools. Textbook concepts are brought to life to inspire children to learn more about science and technology. Science World British Columbia is a charitable non-profit organization that engages British Columbians in science and inspires future science and technology leadership throughout our province. The free Community Science Celebration at TRU March 3 is supported by the Ministry of Jobs,

Tourism and Innovation and a regional coordinating committee of dedicated local leaders in science and technology. All galleries in Science World’s newly renovated facility in Vancouver are now open!

Martin Singh campaigns for NDP MP The private sector and environment can have a positive working relationship according to Martin Singh, a declared candidate for the leadership of the federal New Democratic Party. Singh visited Prince George recently, stopping in at Books and Company to discuss his platform. “I believe huge opportunities are being missed,” said Singh, president of the NDP’s Faith and Social Justice commission and president of the Sackville — Eastern Shore NDP riding association. The adversarial relationship is unnecessary, he said, since environmentalists know the problems out there very well while the solution to those problems often lies in the private sector. Singh, who has a background as a busi-

nessman in both urban and rural settings, said he wants to broaden the conversation between those two groups. He added he has three main goals within the party. The first is the environment. Besides focusing on opportunities between the private sector and environmentalists, he said he has deep concerns about the Enbridge pipeline project. “The whole process concerns me,” he said. He added the NDP wants to make sure the process of consultation remains fair and transparent while the Conservatives seem to want to marginalize different groups. “In a society of free speech, you are supposed to have free speech,” he said. Singh also said job creation, particularly entrepreneurship, is important. “The Conservative party is currently lowering corporate taxes. I

Hydro rates may rise due to debt Tom Fletcher Black Press The B.C. Utilities Commission has approved an extra 2.5 per cent interim increase in BC Hydro rates, which means a seven per cent increase in electricity bills starting April 1. The commission’s decision is a setback for the B.C. government, which conducted a cost-cutting review of BC Hydro last year that cut 700 jobs to bring the 2012 rate increase down below four per cent. The decision is still an interim rate increase. BC Hydro can argue for a reduction, which would result in a rebate on electricity bills if it is granted by the commission later this year. The commission ruled that the latest 2.5 per cent increase, about $5 a month on the average residential bill, is needed to pay down BC Hydro’s ballooning deferred debt, which was identified in October by B.C. Auditor General John Doyle. Doyle reviewed BC Hydro’s books and

found that as of March 2011, $2.2 billion of the utility’s debt was placed in deferral accounts. Deferred expenses were forecast to grow to $5 billion by 2017. Doyle said deferral accounts for major capital costs are an acceptable practice to smooth out rate increases, but BC Hydro’s use of it runs ahead of other Canadian utilities. The practice can “mask the true cost of doing business, creating the appearance of profitability where none actually exists, and place undue burdens on future taxpayers,” he said. Doyle’s conclusion that “there does not appear to be a plan to reduce the balance of these accounts” is supported by the utilities commission decision. NDP energy critic John Horgan said the auditor’s report showed the B.C. Liberal government was using BC Hydro as an “ATM machine,” collecting $463 million in revenue last year and forcing the utility to pile up debt to do it.

have two issues with that. First, we will see it reach a point of diminishing returns.” Secondly, it is an insufficient business policy, he said, especially when it comes to encouraging entrepreneurs who will likely have to wait a few

years before seeing profits. “So we neglect other areas of need,” he said. Providing financing and training for both employees and employers, especially when it comes to financial literacy, would be more benefi-

cial, he said. The national Pharmacare plan is another area Singh wants to focus on. Instead of doing another study, Singh said it’s time to look at the studies already completed, evaluate them then take action. “We need to find out

the impact and time line of implementation,” he said. “We need to look at where we are, where we need to go and the steps in between.” Affordable pharmaceutical care is important to all sectors of the population, he said. Singh said

he was scheduled to visit Prince George earlier in the campaign, however he couldn’t so when another opportunity came up, he jumped at it. “I am making an effort to reach as many different areas of the country as possible,” he said.

Escape Planning

Plan Ahead. If a re 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 re.

SAFETY TIPS • • • • • • •

Draw a home escape plan and discuss it with everyone in your home. PracƟce 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 meeƟng place (like a tree, light pole or mailbox) a safe distance from the home where everyone should meet. PracƟce using diīerent ways out. Teach children how to escape on their own in case you can’t help them. Close doors behind you as you leave.

A new generation of the Watoto Children’s Choir is now on tour and will be performing in Williams Lake on Friday, March 2 with a brand new tour called Beautiful Africa: A New Generation. Beautiful Africa offers an evening of vibrant, original African music, dance routines and life-transforming stories. The tour is a testimony of the new generation of leaders emerging out of Watoto. The performance takes place at Cariboo Bethel Church on Western Avenue starting at 7 p.m. Friday, March 2. The concert is free and open to the public. Established in 1994, The Watoto Children’s Choir has travelled internationally as ambassadors for the millions of children in Africa, orphaned as a result of HIV/AIDS, war and poverty. Each of the children in the choir has suffered the loss of one or both parents. They live in Watoto Children’s Villages where they receive the care and nurture they need to grow up as productive citizens of their country. Since its inception, 55 Watoto choirs have travelled globally, providing the children with a world view, an opportunity they would otherwise never get. Today, Watoto is impacting the lives of more than 2,500 children who have been orphaned and abandoned. Watoto’s purpose is to rescue the vulnerable, raise them up to be leaders, so they can rebuild their nation. For this to become an ongoing reality, Watoto relies on the support of Canadians to sponsor a life and impact their future. The choirs have been to Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, Europe, Hong Kong, Japan, Taiwan and the U.S., among other countries. Their audiences have included royalty, presidents and ministers, capturing the hearts of people wherever they travel. Living Hope is a Watoto program that has transformed the lives

If the smoke alarm sounds, get out and stay out. Never go back inside for people or pets. If you have to escape through smoke, get low and go under the smoke to your way out. Feel the knob and door before opening a door. Call the re department from outside your home.

Country Legends show at the Gibraltar Room March 9 Johnny Cash once said, “You know, performance is communicating. You’ve got to communicate. You’ve got a song you’re singing from your gut; you want that audience to feel it in their gut.” Fans of the Man in Black will get that old feeling back when David James, along with his band Big River, and Sara-Jeanne Hosie pay ode to country legends Cash and Patsy Cline in a Vegas-like tribute show coming to the Gibraltar Room, March 9. James is one of North America’s favourite Cash tribute acts performing all of the Man in Black’s hits spanning five decades. James is said to nail Cash’s mannerisms and voice, singing all of the great songs such as I Walk The Line, Solitary Man, Get Rhythm, Folsom Prison, Ring of Fire and newer songs like Hurt and Rusty Cage. One of the world’s leading, most convincing tribute artists in the music business, James doesn’t try to consciously look, act and sound like his idol, he just does. In his act, Almost... Cash, he and the band are doggedly dedicated to replicating the most authentic Johnny Cash tribute the world

has ever seen. “We want our audiences to have the thrill of an authentic Man in Black show. Not just the words and music, but the full experience,” said James. “It’s not only about the voice. It’s about living and breathing the man –– his posture, his mannerisms, his moves, and his quirks. I want our audiences to go home feeling like they just observed the man himself.” Joining James is back-up band Big River, who performed for sold-out crowds during their recent tour. Consisting of four musicians from the West Coast, the band is said to present the recordings of Cash in the style and with the sound of Cash himself. Hosie is also said to have the unique gift of persuading audiences they are seeing and hearing Patsy Cline re-born in the flesh. She sings from her heart and her soul, paying tribute to Cline’s classics, from the beautiful Faded Love, the tragic I Fall To Pieces, the iconic Sweet Dreams, and of course Cline’s biggest hit, Crazy. The star of the play A Closer Walk with Patsy Cline, which played to sold-out performances all over

Where to go,

what to do.

Clumsy Custard sucks in hearts and laughter Bring the kids — lots of kids — and prepare to have lots of fun. The Studio Theatre’s production of The Clumsy Custard Horror Show and Ice Cream Clone Review sounds kind of silly but there is likely a reason for the unusual title. The word play, quick action and silly characters dressed in wonderfully whimsical costumes will be enough to make more than the Clumsy Custard jiggle

and giggle with laughter. The play is right out of magic land with actors popping up in the audience and getting the crowd chanting with them when the hero and heroine need their support. There were mostly adults in the audience for opening night Wednesday evening but that didn’t stop them from joining the chorus and echoing the chants with a giggle or two. The costume, makeup, set, sound, and lighting design teams all

deserve a huge hand for their work on this comical production featuring some popular seasoned players and introducing some young newcomers to the lakecity’s theatre scene. The evil characters seem to have a common thread with the notorious Dacron played by Jay Goddard, keeping a head for company played by Kalysta Szauer, and sending his strange sisters Polly and Ester played respectively by Sharon Hoffman and Becky Strickland out to do his dirty work. You will meet the spoiled Princess Prince,

played by Samantha Fradette, her charming and kind, but not too bright father King Dumb played by Martin Comtois, the dashing Swashbuck Valparaiso with the spring in his step played by Bradford Temple and his whimsical sidekick, the three-horned Worfle, played by Stacey Poirier.

The combined choirs will sing popular old favorites Blowinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; in the Wind and Four Strong Winds. Admission is by donation to purchase a new digital mammography unit for Cariboo Memorial Hospital.

The Parade of Choirs is the major annual fundraiser of the Hough Memorial Cancer Society which is working with the The Cariboo Foundation Hospital Trust to raise the communityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s $700,000 contribution to the $1 million cost of the digital mammography unit, says Hough Memorial vicepresident Jim Fraser. The Cariboo Regional Hospital District will contribute the remaining $300,000. Cariboo Memorial Hospital serves an area of approximately 50,000 people. On an

average year 2,500 to 2,700 women are screened using the existing analog mammography unit which is outdated and difficult to find parts for if it breaks down. Fraser says the new digital mammography unit so advanced that it can detect breast cancer in the early stages that is no bigger than a pin head. The digital unit will also be much better than the existing analog mammography unit at detecting cancer in younger women. The Hough Memorial Cancer Society is

Cariboo Gold teams up with high school bands for Saturday dance The Williams Lake Secondary Tour Band is joining forces with the Cariboo Gold Dance Band to host its annual Dessert and Dance Night this Saturday. The event takes place at the Elks Hall on Saturday, Feb. 25 from 7 to 10 p.m. Proceeds from ticket sales and the silent auction help to defray travel costs and entrance

fees for festivals the high school tour band attends. “The fundraiser helps alleviate some of this cost, and helps us to buy any equipment and music charts we need,” says band teacher Brianne Deverteuil. The Tour Band is an extra-curricular activity and does not receive school funding for the club. Students rehearse

The event starts at 7 p.m. opening with the tour band. Cariboo Gold will take over for the majority of the evening, and will be joined by the WLSS Jazz Band at the end of the night.

Women and Wellness event set for Feb. 29 Williams Lake is one of 14 communities across Canada hosting Women and Wellness events this month in support of the Canadian Mental Health Association. Cariboo women will gather in Williams Lake on Feb. 29, from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. to raise their glasses and their voices to break the silence about mental illness, says Sheila Cohen, CMHA representative. CMHA is hosting the event with sponsorship from Shopper’s Drug Mart. Cohen says the evening will be comprised of inspirational guest speakers, entertainment, delicious hors d’oeuvres, refreshments, and fabulous conversation among guests. There is no charge for participation and details on the event and venue will be provided to women as they register to participate.

Women can register by contacting Cohen at 250-305-4487 or by email at sheila.cohen@ cmhawl.org or Bettina Schoen at 250-305-4420 or by e-mail at bettina. schoen@cmhawl.org Women and Wellness is also a unique and popular event that supports the important work of the Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA), a nationwide, charitable organization that promotes mental health and supports the recovery of people experiencing mental illness. The money raised through donations helps the association deliver education and support programs for people afflicted with mental illness, their loved ones and the public. Last year, Cohen says proceeds raised in Williams Lake helped support CMHA’s local multiculturalism program. This year’s donations will go toward CMHA’s

local Crisis and Counselling Program. Now in its ninth year, Women and Wellness is a movement created by and for women and is therefore a special night designed to unite and empower women, reaching out to those who are affected by a range of mental health issues and concerns; whether they are experiencing these issues personally or acting as an advocate for someone who is not in a position to advocate for themselves. “Through education and encouragement we hope to see a society in which mental health and mental illness is discussed openly and in which those requiring help feel empowered to ask for it” says Helen MacDonnell, Women and Wellness founding chair. “We will take the first steps toward this by harnessing the incredible power that is created by hundreds of women

determined to fight the stigma associated with mental illness.” MacDonnell started Women & Wellness in January 2001 when she was housebound by a storm and couldn’t get out for a break. So, instead, she invited 20 women friends in for a party. They repeated the event the next winter. There wasn’t an event in 2003 because MacDonnell’s brother died that month by suicide. She realized — too late — that he suffered from bi-polar disorder, something she knew little about. Therefore, she began her journey to understand mental health disorders better. She was astounded to learn how common mental illnesses are and how stigma

and lack of awareness prevents sufferers from receiving help. In January 2004, the first Women and Wellness was held at MacDonnell’s Riverview, New Brunswick home, where 54 women gathered to laugh, cry, share stories, and the positive energy only a group of women can create. Over the past six years, the fundraiser has received more than $600,000 in donations and caught the attention of CMHA branches from coast to coast, with a total of 10 events being held in Atlantic Canada, Ontario, and British Columbia last winter. The objective is to raise $1 million a year for the next five years. While local and re-

gional sponsors have been very supportive, there is still tremendous opportunity for growth with new events, say organizers. In 2011, Women and Wellness experienced a fresh burst of new energy that resulted from the support of Shoppers Drug Mart as a strategic community partner across Canada. Shoppers Drug Mart

has chosen women’s health as its core cause making it the only Canadian company to dedicate its resources to improve the health of all Canadian women in body, mind and spirit, say event organizers. Their women’s health initiative connects women to health information and resources that help ensure their health only gets stronger.

SINGLE-STORY, THREE-BEDROOM HOME A distinctive covered entrance, set off by semi-circular steps and ďŹ&#x201A;anked by stone pilasters, lends this singlestory, three-bedroom home a touch of class, making it an asset to any neighbourhood. Double doors open into a generous foyer. On the right is a curved stairway leading down to the unďŹ nished basement. To the left is a formal dining room, boasting a handsome coffered ceiling and a built-in buffet. Ahead is a spacious great room, with access to a covered deck overlooking the back garden. On either side of the ďŹ replace are built-in entertainment centres. The adjacent morning room, which features a bayed window, provides the perfect spot for casual meals and relaxed moments. The morning room is divided from the kitchen by an eating bar that forms part of the kitchenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s U-shaped counter conďŹ guration. Both kitchen and morning room have access to a patio with a covered space for the barbecue, making it ideal for al fresco meals in warm weather. The kitchen also features a large island, a wine bar and a double sink with a window over it. A walk-in pantry is separated from the kitchen by a pocket door. Conveniently located nearby are a two-piece powder room and a roomy coat closet. The laundry room, with access to the double garage, will double as a mud room. The master suite overlooks the back garden, with its own private sundeck as well as a capacious en suite with a soaker tub and a glassed-in shower stall. The walk-in closet is roomy enough for the most extensive

wardrobes. The bathroom shared by the second and third bedrooms contains a handy linen closet. Another walkin closet, ďŹ tted behind the staircase wall, provides extra storage space. On the homeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exterior, smaller versions of the pilasters that ďŹ&#x201A;ank the entrance are repeated along the brick faĂ§ade. The home measures 95 feet, two inches wide, and 59 feet, six inches deep, for a total of 2,473 square feet, and includes an unďŹ nished basement.
