Hansen celebration Sunday Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer The Man in Motion 25th Anniversary Tour takes place in Williams Lake at the Cariboo Memorial Complex on Sunday, March 25. With an End of Day Celebration beginning at 4 p.m. at the complex, locals and visitors will enjoy a traditional First Nations welcome and smudging, entertainment, a family barbecue, and a celebration cake. The line-up of entertainment includes the Cariboo Men’s Choir,
Robyn Ferguson, LeRae Haynes and friends, Cindy Lightfoot and friends, and Don Alder. At 5:30 p.m. the official speeches will begin, and Miss Canada International Anna Dell will sing the national anthem. Of course, the height of the event will be when Hansen addresses the crowd. To celebrate the re-opening of the Sam Ketcham Pool, there will also be a Toonie Swim from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. with the Hansen celebration to follow. By the time Hansen arrives in Williams Lake, the tour will have spanned almost 12,000 kilometres
and involved 7,000 Canadians who have made a difference. Several other people from Williams Lake and area are medal bearers and can be seen throughout the city before MacLeod reaches the complex. On Monday, March 26 Hansen will visit Columneetza Secondary School — his former high school. Then, at 11 a.m., the Rick Hansen Man in Motion World Tour commemorative statue will be unveiled at the Tourism Discovery Centre. On Tuesday, the relay will continue south to 150 Mile House.

bearer for the Rick Hansen 25th Anniversary Tour is getting ready for the big day. Speaking from his home in Horsefly, Bruce MacLeod says the first time he saw Hansen was when he was letting the world know that he was planning to wheelchair around the world. “He was in Mike Harcourt’s office when Mike was the mayor of Vancouver and he was announcing his goal to the world,” MacLeod recalls.

SEE THE DIFFERENCE
Jumbo resort gets green light Tom Fletcher Black Press After 22 years of waiting and debating, the B.C. government has given approval for the Jumbo Glacier Resort proposal near Invermere. Natural Resource Operations Minister Steve Thomson and Kootenay East MLA Bill Bennett made the announcement in Victoria Tuesday, while NDP MLA Norm Macdonald led the latest protest in his home constituency of Columbia-
Revelstoke where the project is located. If it goes ahead as planned, Jumbo Glacier Resort would be the only glacier-based yearround ski resort in North America, roughly the size of Silver Star resort near Vernon and about one tenth the size of Whistler. The master development plan approved by the government allows for phased development of 6,250 beds, up to 23 ski lifts and a 3,000 metrehigh gondola overlooking a glacier-fed lake.
Thomson said the latest delay came after the Ktunaxa Nation declared the resort area a spiritually significant site in 2009. There has been extensive consultation with the Ktunaxa and Shuswap Indian Band based in Invermere on the proposal, and the B.C. goverrnment’s legal advice is that the spiritual declaration does not represent a valid territorial claim, Thomson said. A wildlife management zone will be established in the region, to protect the three to four grizzly bears
that have been identified by DNA testing and the rest of the local wildlife, Thomson said. Macdonald said it was “tremendously disrespectful to make this announcement in Victoria instead of coming and facing the people of this valley.” Bennett said a local announcement would have produced “1,000 people on either side of the street” continuing the argument that has divided the region for two decades.

Monument to be unveiled Monday Continued from A1 Hansen had a huge gold fish bowl in his lap and Harcourt put some cash in the bowl. “Rick was announcing his goal and it was outrageous. I remember thinking for a man to do something like that and put it all on the line before he’s even done it is huge,” MacLeod says. Throughout the 25th anniversary tour, MacLeod has watched some of the footage on the Internet and continues to be impressed. “I watched the relay as it arrived in Calgary. They’ve sure been out there in the cold weather,” he adds. Voicing his admiration for Hansen, MacLeod says he did something no one else is ever going to do. “Try and do that today, with security and all, it wouldn’t work,” MacLeod says of the original Man in Motion World Tour. MacLeod says he is putting the final touches on his three-minute speech, and he’s a bit
nervous because giving speeches is not something he does much of these days. “I’m usually the guy in the back room, putting the right people together or making suggestions,” he says. This will be the second time MacLeod’s spoken to a large crowd. When he was in college, he was invited to the Robson Media Centre. “I was living on Vancouver Island at the time and I went over on the ferry, got in there, had a speech prepared, but when I got up on the stage and there was all the bright lights, I was like a deer in the headlights,” he recalls. Hopefully this time around, he’ll be at ease because he will be among people he knows. Amongst the crowd on Sunday will be MacLeod’s two grandsons who are coming up for the event from Vancouver and Vancouver Island. “I’ll at least know someone,” he says, chuckling.

Seniors go to hospital emergency departments for various reasons. Often it is due to a drug adverse reaction. Two classes of drugs that cause almost two-thirds of these visits are anticoagulants (“blood thinners”) and diabetic medications including insulin. The reason is that constant testing needs to be done to ensure proper dosing. Our pharmacists can help you understand the importance of testing.

There are many non-drug methods of reducing blood pressure and symptoms of depression. One method that is definitely helpful is the idea of forgiveness. Many people hold grudges for a long time and this has effect on their mental and physical states of health. Forgiving those that hurt you could give you a feeling of great well-being and free you from anxiety and hostility. Forgiveness is good medicine.

Visit my website to see more of At the San Diego meeting of the International Congress of Oral Implantology, Dr. Rudy Wassenaar (middle with staff) received the ICOI Diplomate Award to recognize his completion of a number of continuing education programs that evaluated and examined Wassenaar’s knowledge of dental implantology by experts in the field. ICOI credentialed members are recognized by their peers, acknowledged online by potential patients and are local leaders and global ambassadors that have accepted a lifelong commitment to learning.

Dr. Wassenaar receives award Dr. Rudy Wassenaar knows what it’s like to be missing teeth. The Williams Lake dentist has been practicing here for 25 years, but says when he was in elementary school growing up in Holland he lost his two front teeth because of an accident. “I had crowns done, a bridge, a root canal, and eventually bone grafting done for permanent transplants,� he says, adding he’s rediscovered that it’s not always fun to go to the dentist and be on the other side. Wassenaar specializes in oral implantology, and at the San Diego meeting of the International Congress of Oral Implantology ( ICOI) held in February, he received the ICOI Diplomate Award to recognize his completion of a number of continuing education programs that evaluated and examined his knowledge of dental implantology by experts in the field. “It’s a world-wide organization in 70 countries with 10,000 members. They are dentists, dental specialists and surgeons and all kinds of people,� Wassenaar says, adding ICOI focuses primarily on enhancing the field of dentistry by organizing courses and furthering knowledge in certain areas. Eight years ago, Wassenaar began working
on dental implantology courses, starting off at the fellowship level where he had to submit five cases for review. He followed up with the masters program, where the focus is on prosthetics. “That was more about how to make implants work with teeth on them, make them look good, and so on.� He had to document his work with 40 patients, submitting Xrays, photographs and
descriptions. The highest level of recognition, the diplomate, involved submitting 60 cases, passing a written exam, an oral exam and making three presentations at international dental meetings, which he did two in San Diego and one in New York. There were advanced cases where people had no teeth at all for a long period of time. In those scenarios, the jaw bone will actu-
ally shrink in size so it can no longer hold a denture. “We actually have to do procedures where we grow a new bone, do all kinds of bone grafting surgeries, and do an implant,� he explains, adding he can perform all the procedures in his office in Williams Lake. To grow bone, it’s a matter of fooling the body. “We put a medium together that on its
own will actively grow bone. We will take a blood sample of a patient’s blood.� Two per cent of the cells in the blood are platelets and those are the cells that come into play when a person has an injury. They release growth factors, help grow new bone, new nerve tissue, new skin, new muscle, whatever is required.

News Prevention is key
Continued from A5 The only problem is, only two per cent of those cells have that capability, so what we’re able to do now is take the blood sample, run it through a centrifuge a few times and then we can separate the big cells from the small cells, concentrate them,” Wassenaar explains. They are then mixed with calcium and other materials to grow bone matter. Essentially it’s the person’s own body that will govern that. To date there have been about 6,000 studies on the process, and its use in procedures such as eye, back, and orthopedic surgeries. “It’s all people talk about in my field, is how to get those growth factors going
to come in early, have X-rays done regularly, maintain their teeth better, go to hygienists, because if things are detected earlier the results are more favourable. His staff also attended the ICOI meeting in February and took advanced dental implant-related training pertaining to surgical assisting, sedation, dental hygiene and of-
fice management. Wassenaar’s next step is to present a day-long seminar for local dentists at the end of March to share what he’s learned from his course work. “I hope to give them a better understanding of what I do,” he says. Looking back on his recent eight years of studying, he says it was helpful to have a
goal to work towards. “In my experience you tend to get better faster and progress sooner if you’ve got something to compare yourself against, rather than being out on your own. “The programs have such structured protocols that you’re not reinventing the wheels and you follow the structure, you can’t help but get better.”

VacaƟons and business travel make hotels and motels our home away from home. It is just as important to be prepared and know what you would do in a hotel/motel emergency as it is in your own home. • • • •
• • •
BE SAFE WHEN TRAVELING!
Choose a hotel/motel that is protected by both smoke alarms and a re sprinkler system. When you check in, ask the front desk what the re alarm sounds like. When you enter your room, review the escape plan posted in your room. Take the Ɵme to nd the exits and count the number of doors between your room and the exit. Make sure the exits are unlocked. If they are locked, report it to management right away. Keep your room key by your bed and take it with you if there is a re. If the alarm sounds, leave right away, closing all doors behind you. Use the stairs — never use elevators during a re. If you must escape through smoke, get low and go under the smoke to your exit

Baptiste reacts to UN observations Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer Xeni Gwet’in Chief Marilyn Baptiste says there are a number of issues she wants to highlight following the United Nations Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination’s concluding observations about what’s going on in Canada. Baptiste was part of a delegation of First Nations leaders from Canada who attended the committee’s hearings in Geneva, Switzerland last month. In its report, the committee notes that where Canada has enacted a corporate responsibility strategy, the committee is concerned that the state has not yet adopted measures with regard to transnational corporations registered in Canada whose activities negatively impact the rights of indigenous people outside Canada, in particular in mining activities. “Of course, to me, that also applies in Canada obviously,” Baptiste says. She also points to section 19 of the report that talks about aboriginal health funding and the need for implementing and reinforcing existing programs, and ultimately that the Canadian government provide the UN committee with informa-
tion on the progress and concrete results of such programs and policies. She also notes the committee’s concerns about the rights to consultation as provided in legislation and the right to prior, free and informed consent to projects and initiatives concerning aboriginal peoples not being “fully applied by the state party” and that they may be “subject to limitations.” “Of course that is a simple reflection on the last panel’s report on Prosperity Mine about that exact thing, of the impacts to our aboriginal use of our territory now as well as in the future,”
she says of the upcoming environmental review of New Prosperity. The committee also points out various measures taken to combat violence against aboriginal women and girls. However, it says it remains concerned that demographic is disproportionately victims of life-threatening forms of violence, spousal homicides and disappearances. Baptiste says she was advised Monday by her community’s social department that federal funding that used to flow through for family violence prevention initiatives in her community
THE SLIP-ON S

is being deleted. “The committee recommends strengthening programs that fight violence against women, not delete them. What does that mean, that Canada is implementing these steps for a short period of time to get through these steps at the United Nations level? That’s a little bit concerning,” she says. A spokesperson from Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development Canada, responding to Baptiste’s concerns regarding the funding program, says AANDC’s Family Violence Prevention Program (FVPP) is committed to fostering
healthy First Nations families and invests approximately $30 million annually in family violence shelters and prevention programs and services on-reserve. “AANDC is working to renew the FVPP and considers minimizing the disruption to shelter services a key priority. “The department also remains committed to supporting prevention projects; however, funding decisions for the next fiscal year are pending renewal of the program. We will know more details after the federal budget is announced,” the spokesperson says.

Connecting students with jobs T
he noise of the teachers’ strike drowned out debate on the B.C. budget so thoroughly that one of Finance Minister Kevin Falcon’s more controversial ideas only made the news last week. Reporters dubbed it “Welfare Air.” Falcon plans a pilot program to offer social assistance recipients training and airfare if they can line up a job in B.C.’s northern energy boomtowns. Workers are being imported to fill jobs there, while in Metro Vancouver and elsewhere the number of single employable people applying for social assistance is rising. Much of oil and gas work is dirty and dangerous. These days most industrial jobs involve sophisticated electronics, and the technical skill level required is high. But there are entrylevel jobs going begging, and relatively high pay is offered to fill positions in a short-staffed service sector in the Peace region. NDP MLA Carole James, no stranger to northern B.C., dismissed Falcon’s plan as a stunt. There are unemployed people in the region who should be offered training before we start flying people up from Vancouver, James said. Yet I repeatedly hear from northern employers that the labour shortage is real and growing. The NDP warns that B.C.
B.C. VIEWS TOM FLETCHER
faces a future of “people without jobs, and jobs without people.” Mostly they blame the B.C. Liberals for removing apprenticeship programs from union control. I spoke with James about post-secondary needs a couple of weeks ago. She mentioned NDP leader Adrian Dix’s signature policy to restore B.C. student grants, funded by a capital tax on financial institutions. She also agreed that part of the problem is young people taking post-secondary education that leads to fields with poor job prospects. I suggested that if B.C. taxpayers are to increase their subsidy to post-secondary students, already worth about two thirds of their schooling costs, perhaps grants could be targeted to areas of pressing economic need. To my surprise, James agreed that is worth considering. This is significant, not only because it is likely to be unpopular in the edu-
cation establishment. There is a good chance that James, a former school trustee, will be B.C.’s education minister in 14 months. After writing about the labour shortage last week, I was bombarded with messages from an irate Vancouver high school teacher who mocked the whole notion as corporate propaganda. No labour shortage exists, globally or in B.C., he claimed. Rather, “capitalists” of the “one per cent” have tried to “voca-
tionalize” public education for a century, but the “people” have always “resisted.” Radical socialists aside, why would matching student aid to employment demand be unpopular with teachers? Education Minister George Abbott offered a clue during the lengthy debate over ending the teachers’ strike. Abbott noted that for every three teachers coming out of B.C. universities, there is currently only one job available.
Certainly student debt is an issue worth discussing. And most would agree it’s easier to pay off loans if one can find a job in one’s field upon graduation. Should further subsidies go to soon-to-be-unemployed teachers? No. Our education system trains too many people for what they want to do, rather than what the economy needs. And our economy definitely does not need more kids taught Marxist claptrap. Further to that, a tax on
banks will be popular with some of today’s students, who protested against capitalism in the “occupy” camps that will resume as the weather improves. Others will examine the idea and conclude that financial institutions will recover the tax from customers, and perhaps find ways to get the job done with fewer employees.

Elderly drivers offered road test option Tom Fletcher Black Press Drivers more than 80 years old who fail a computerized test of their mental ability will now be offered a road test before they have to surrender their licences. Attorney General Shirley Bond announced the
road test option Monday after complaints from people who lost their driving privileges based on a computer test called DriveABLE. Some elderly people with little computer experience found the touch-screen tests of cognitive ability to be unfamiliar and unfair
way to test them. The DriveABLE test is administered on referral from doctors who detect cognitive impairment in patients that may affect their driving. Bond said those who failed the on-screen test in the past six months will be offered a free road test, using a test car
with dual brakes. Those who failed more than six months ago have to see their doctor before being reassessed. NDP public safety critic Kathy Corrigan was surprised to hear that the DriveABLE program is now being “peer reviewed,� a step

Sodium myths busted March is Nutrition Month. Registered dietitians take this opportunity to focus on eating well. This year, our goal is to give you the facts about common nutrition myths. There are many myths about how to lower the amount of sodium we consume. Sodium, the main component of salt, helps our bodies balance fluid and blood pressure, but many of us consume too much of it. Myth 1: Only people with high blood pressure need to cut sodium. Cutting down on sodium reduces the risk of
developing high blood pressure. Too much sodium can lead to high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, and kidney disease. Reducing sodium can also improve bone health. Most Canadians consume 3,400 milligrams of sodium daily, but our bodies only need 1,500 mg. That is more than double what we need. Myth 2: If you don’t use a salt shaker, you won’t eat too much salt. For the average Canadian, 75 per cent of the sodium we eat comes from processed and
packaged foods, not from the shaker. Soups, deli meats, bread, cheese, bottled drinks, condiments, and even desserts and sweets can contain hidden sodium. Always check the sodium on packaged foods before putting them in your grocery chart by reading the nutrition label. Look for foods that contain less than 15 per cent DV (daily value) sodium. You can also reduce sodium by eating less processed foods and cooking meals at home whenever possible. When you do eat out,
Pool Task Force terms endorsed Council received and endorsed the draft Pool Task Force Terms of Reference at its Tuesday council meeting, with an amendment to include that the task force meeting minutes be forwarded to the Central Cariboo/ City of Williams Lake Joint Committee on a

ask your server about low sodium options. Myth 3: Sea salt is lower in sodium than table salt. All types of salt like sea salt, kosher salt, and table salt, have about the same amount of sodium. Try adding flavour to food with saltfree spices, herbs, lemon juice, vinegar, garlic, and onion instead of salt. Myth 4: There’s no such thing as “too much sodium� for kids. Kids only need 1,0001,500 mg of sodium per day. Most Canadian children consume more than this and in the long term it can lead to health problems like
heart disease, stroke, kidney disease, and high blood pressure. Snack foods that are popular with kids, like crackers, chips, instant noodles, beef jerky, and packaged lunch kits often contain a lot of sodium. Instead, choose low sodium fun snacks like fruit and veggie sticks, salt-free peanut butter with low sodium crackers, unsweetened applesauce or yogurt cups, or unsalted trail mix. Try making sandwiches with leftover home-cooked meat instead of deli meat. Christina Grieve is a dietetic intern with Interior Health.
ment. Another stage tests ability to notice changes at the edge of the field of vision, simulating pedestrians and traffic signs. The test subject must make a decision about a word in the centre of the screen, and also report the location of a target that appears at the same time in a different area of the screen. Bond also announced that a new DriveABLE assessment centre will be opened in Cranbrook, making 18 locations in B.C. A new mobile service is also in the works, so people in rural areas don’t have to travel as far to be tested. The DriveABLE test uses a terminal with a
touch screen to measure mental abilities. In the first stage, the driver holds down a button until a shape appears on either the left of right side of the screen. The subject has to release the button and touch the shape as quickly as possible, to test reaction time and accuracy of movement.

Discussion on local currency coming up Cody Slinn, Potato House vice-president and Transition Town member, will give a presentation Monday on the concept of creating a local currency for Williams Lake. The presentation will take place Monday, March 26 from 5 to 6 p.m. in the Central Cariboo Arts and Culture centre next to city hall. After the presentation he says there will be time to talk about how to turn the dialogue into reality. “Your help, even if only limited to your opinions about the project or the needs of your business, would be greatly appreciated,â€? Slinn says in his invitation. “Afterwards, a working group will also be put together for the project, which you will also be welcome to join.â€?Â

The invitation is extended to anyone interested in the idea and in particular farmers, business owners, and tradespeople. He says a local currency has huge potential to increase economic activity among the informal economy of home bakers, casual labourers, gardenwork parties, craft
makers, artists, etc. He says local currencies are created with the intention of making small-scale local farming economically viable; increasing local economic activity; making or buying local more attractive than buying multi-national; creating local jobs; and facilitating the recreation of local

jobs. In order to be as effective as possible, he says a local currency must attract “essential� service/product businesses as its backbone (food, clothing, energy, trades, repairs); provide a means of making these services as, or more, attractive than their non-local counterparts; and be
well enough promoted and understood to gain ever-increasing support and use from the community at large. Slinn says local currency is not his project; he is simply carrying it until a group of supporters is found. People with questions can contact Slinn by e-mail at codyslinn@hotmail.com.

Funds raised at the event will support programs for youth in our community. “The students are in first year and they are completing a course that uses a service learning model for their first year practicum placement, says Jay Goddard, TRU’s human service programs co-ordinator. “The idea of service
learning is to learn by doing and in our case it is to introduce students to a specific area of human service practice in the community. This year we have four projects including the Wii Olympics.” Participants age six and up will be grouped into teams representing different countries, with teams facing-off in a series of six Olympicstyle events, which will include various sports and dance games using Wii game consoles. Children under age six will not be left out of the action, as there will be a fun station set aside for the little ones. “The idea came about from our club brainstorming different ways in which we could provide different events for kids and families in our community. Wii is obviously hugely popu-
lar with kids and adults alike, and we encourage people to bring their enthusiasm for it from their home out into the community and participate together,” says Monica Johnson, Boys and Girls Club of Williams Lake and District executive director. There will be plenty of prizes up for grabs, including a grand prize draw for a Wii game console. And winning teams will be awarded medals during the closing ceremonies. Participants will be able to register for the event starting at noon. The registration fee for individual participants is $10 and $25 for families. The Boys and Girls Club is a leading provider of programs and services to children and youth that support the healthy physical, educational and social devel-
opment of young people and their families in the community. The club operates a youth drop-in centre, licensed after-school care program and the Sprockids mountain biking program.

Three bands Saturday at the Gibraltar Room Three hip young lakecity bands are coming together for a concert this Saturday to raise funds for the Canadian Cancer Society. Dynamic Downfall drummer Bob Favell says the bands have all been touched in some way by cancer. “My grandma and great-grandma died from breast cancer and it’s all something we believe strongly in helping so when I asked the band if they were up for giving the money to cancer they were all for it,” Favell says. Dynamic Downfall is a hard rocking group
of youth who have been playing together for about three years now and were recently invited to a demo recording session at the UBC Okanagan campus in Kelowna, Favell says. In addition to Favell on drums the band includes singer Nathan Mortimer, Colton Douglas on guitar and Nick Carrier on bass. The bands Calling April and Larry Don’t Pull That Leaver will be opening for Dynamic Downfall. Larry Don’t Pull That Leaver is a softer rock group which includes Kalie Cook on drums, Colton Baker

Along with their family of captive-born reptiles, this team of
naturalists offer a oncein-a-lifetime experience, encouraging an up-close-and-personal opportunity with some of the world’s most exotic animals such as giant tortoises, crocodiles, snakes, lizards and frogs to mention a few. During the educational, interactive live stage show visitors learn about the habitat of these reptiles and about protecting them for future generations. “The fate of most of these amazing creatures lies in our hands and the secret lies ... in education,” says Safari Jeff. This highly entertaining show not only features live animals but a multi-media outlet of large, flat-screen televisions, lights, sound, life-sized dinosaur bone replicas, original art work and creative props.

Fraser River adventure inspires B.C.’s up and coming leaders The Rivershed Society of B.C. is seeking participants for its three-week Sustainable Living Leadership Program taking place Aug. 2 to 26 this summer. Now in its ninth year, the leadership field course is designed to inform and inspire young community leaders from across the province, says Richelle Giberson, program spokesperson. Participants will journey by foot, van, canoe and raft from the Fraser River’s headwaters near Valemount to where it meets the Pacific Ocean, 1,400 kilometers away. Anyone with an interest in sustainability or community development is encouraged to apply for this year’s
program. Participants must be 19 years of age or older and physically fit. Community volunteer experience is an asset. The application deadline is May 18. For more information or to apply visit http:// rivershed.com/sustainable-living-leadership-program_2012/ about-the-sllp. Giberson says the Rivershed Society believes that real environmental change starts in communities which is why the Sustainable Living Leadership Program (SLLP) was created. The program educates through hands-on experience, and opens the door to a network of community leaders in the Fraser River watershed. It also gives partici-

pants the time to develop and plan projects they can implement in their own communities. Research shows that programs like this are important catalysts for environmental and community development. Sharman Learie, coordinator of the Adventure Studies program at Thompson Rivers University, researched the SLLP as part of his masters thesis and found that the program is “indeed creating environmental leaders.” “The journey itself gives participants ample reflective time to devise a plan of transferring thought into action once they are off the river…” Learie says. “All of the participants mentioned regular interactions

News Earth Day Canada challenges issued
Earth Day Canada announces two action campaigns for Earth Day 2012 Actions that are good for the environment are also good for our health. Earth Day Canada is issuing action-based challenges urging all Canadians (kids, classrooms, groups, businesses, individuals and families) to make positive changes to their daily habits. The challenges run from April 1 to April 30, and encourage participants to take up a new action for 21 days, a period long enough for the action to become a part of their daily routine. For kids, classrooms and schools Through the kid-friendly campaign, Act for the Planet, Earth Day Canada’s EcoKids program, with prizing from Sony Canada, is offering kids a chance to get involved on
their own terms. Kids will have all month long to do something good for the planet (and remind their parents to do their part, too). Fun and easy actions include: • Creating window decals to prevent bird crashes • Making planters to clean inside air • Bringing their own water bottle • Making something new out of something old. For youth, adults, families and businesses For the rest of us, lifestyle choices are typically based on convenience, complacency and habit, but these come with a price. Earth Day Canada’s Take It Up for Earth Day campaign can help you make better decisions about what you eat, drink and what resources you
use. Try something new that’s good for you and the planet. Take up one (or more) of these pro-environmental behaviours. • Eat and prepare plantbased foods at home • Drink tap water and get water wise • Care: Detox your personal care routine • Move: Activate your lifestyle with outdoor, unplugged activities. “We know that beyond air, food and water quality, the types of products we use on a daily basis, as well as the amount of activity we get, can have substantial effects on our health and the environment,” says Jed Goldberg, president of Earth Day Canada. “These campaigns help inform people about the environmental and health impacts of the decisions they make on a daily ba-
sis, while encouraging them to adopt behaviours that will improve the health of their families and communities.” The 2012 Earth Day challenges also offer: • Step-by-step guides that kids, teachers/group leaders can use • Tips and activities for individuals, groups and businesses to work together to keep commitments • Information about the health and environmental benefits of actions • Chances to win great prizes and rewards. Feel ready? Visit earthday.ca, register your commitment(s) and join other Canadians this spring to make change a habit. About Earth Day Canada Earth Day Canada (EDC), a national envi-
ronmental charity founded in 1990, provides Canadians with the practical knowledge and tools they need to lessen their impact on the environment. In 2004 it was recognized as the top environmental education organization in North America, for its innovative yearround programs and educational resources, by the Washington-based North American Association for Environmental Education, the world’s largest association of environmental educators. In 2008 it was chosen as Canada’s “Outstanding Non-profit Organization” by the Canadian Network for Environmental Education and Communication. EDC regularly partners with thousands of organizations in all parts of Canada. Visit www. earthday.ca.

Tips for a healthier diet March is Nutrition Month and the Canadian Diabetes Association is taking the opportunity this month to bring awareness about healthy living for people with diabetes. Healthy eating and regular physical activity are needed all year round, but many of us need a friendly reminder to get ourselves back on track. Eating healthy is important for all Canadians and one of the cornerstones of diabetes management. “Placing the focus on nutrition and healthy living does not have to be a complete overhaul of your daily habits,” says Sharon Zeiler, senior manager of diabetes education and nutrition for the Canadian Diabetes Association. “A few simple meal planning and preparation tips will help you to produce healthy and delicious food.” Preparing food that both tastes good and is good for you can be simple. Here are some tips to help you get started: Take a few minutes
each week to plan your menus. This will allow you the time to schedule quick and easy meals during busy periods and ensure your favourites are served more often. Cruise the grocery store with a list. A grocery list will ensure that you bring home everything you need to prepare the tasty and nutritious meals you planned. Choose seasonal produce and pick the brightest colours that you can. In general, the brighter the colour, the higher the nutrients (i.e. bright red peppers or dark green broccoli). Equip your kitchen for low-fat food preparation. This needn’t be expensive and you can gather the pieces one at a time. A steamer for vegetables helps retain their flavour and nutrients without added fat. A pan with a rack allows the fat to drip away from meat to help you achieve low-fat, flavourful cooking. Sharp knives allow you to remove fat easily and slice meat thinly. Non-stick cookware
lets you to brown or sauté without added fats or oils. Learn to use spices and herbs to kick up the flavour. Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme are classic herbs that you will savour. Cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg will add a new taste to traditional dishes. Many cookbooks and recipes online offer advice on using spices and herbs and introduce new tastes. Go vegetarian for a night. Canada is a multicultural country and many cultures feature a wide variety of meatless dishes. Try tofu in a stir-fry or vegetarian chili; try Indian style dahl (lentils) or marinated bean salads; use lentils and kidney beans in your favourite soups. Your creativity will help you to see lots of possibilities. To keep control of your portions, think of the “space on your plate.” A well-balanced plate will consist of one-quarter protein (e.g. chicken or fish), one quarter starch (e.g. rice, pasta, couscous) and half
vegetables. Add milk as a drink and fresh fruit for dessert and you are well nourished at a moderate calorie expense. Double check your serving size. Most of us are victims of the supersize phenomenon. Eat your dinner on a smaller luncheon plate — your serving will look larger. If you want to “splurge” on a treat, as we all do from time-totime, think single servings. Instead of a whole chocolate bar, buy the mini size (i.e. not a 200gram bag of potato chips, but a 43-gram size). This will give you the indulgence of a treat that you want, but allow you to stop while the calorie count is still low. “In addition to healthy eating, it’s also important to ensure you take part in regular physical activity. Speak with your healthcare team, including your dietitian and fitness expert, if you have questions,” adds Zeiler. Visit diabetes.ca for more helpful nutrition tips, resources and information.

Diabetes association busts nutrition myths Sharon Zeiler March is Nutrition Month and the Canadian Diabetes Association is taking the opportunity this month to bring awareness about healthy living for people with diabetes. This year’s theme is Get the Real Deal on Your Meal! and will focus on busting nutrition myths to prevent people from making uninformed decisions about their health. This comes at a critical time for Canadians, for while we now have unprecedented access to information, knowing which information to trust is becoming more difficult. When it comes to choosing what food to eat and how much of it, people want to know that the information they rely on will help them to make the right choices for their health. Common nutrition myths need to be busted, so that Canadians know the real deal. Below are some examples of correct information based on sound research that people can rely on: • Avoid carbs if you want to lose weight. Although lowering your intake of carbohydrates may help you to lose a few pounds in the first few weeks, you are likely losing the weight from eating less food and taking in fewer calories. Foods like fruit, starchy vegetables and whole grains provide a number of nutrients, including vitamins, minerals and fibre that the body needs to function well. In addition, they provide variety in your diet. The best weight loss plan should consist of regular physical activity and a sensible diet. This plan is one that you can follow longterm and that will allow you to lose weight and keep it off. • Sea salt is natural, so it’s better for you than table salt. Too much sodium
can harm your health by increasing your risk for high blood pressure, among other things. Kosher salt and gourmet salts all contain about the same amount of sodium, but depending on how it is made, the taste will be slightly different. People with diabetes are at higher risk of high blood pressure and other heart problems, so it is best to cut the amount of salt consumed by limiting the amount of processed food and restaurant meals. For extra flavour, consider adding lemon juice, garlic, herbs and spices to
your meals. • Cooking meals at home takes way too much time. Simple, nourishing foods make tasty, quick meals. Planning meals in advance means that you can make big batches to freeze or use the leftovers for a second quick meal. • Healthy food costs too much. With some planning and careful choices, you can have tasty and nourishing meals that are affordable. To get the most value, choose foods that are big on nutrients and low in cost, such as in-season fruits and vegetables,

legumes, and try buying staples in bulk (e.g. whole grains). Cooking from scratch is another way to lower costs. • If you eat too much sugar, you’ll get diabetes. You will not develop diabetes from eating sugar, but it is wise to limit your intake. Foods that are high in sugar, such as cookies and soft drinks, are high in calories but low in nutrients. Consuming too many calories contributes to weight gain and being overweight or obese is a leading risk factor for developing type 2 diabetes. Other risk fac-
tors include age (being over 40), ethnicity and family history. You can reduce your risk for type 2 diabetes by eating healthy and being physically active. Accurate information can help you to make healthier food choices. Get the real deal on your meal and follow sound nutrition advice.

If you are Suffering from Pain and Inammation We have a Gift for You! “It is a Pay-It-Forward Gift... because we have experienced life changing results due to a sweet, natural cactus fruit juice that can eliminate pain and inflammation.” A year ago... a friend of mine was in such pain he could barely walk. With Arthritis and Spinal Stenosis in his neck and low back, severe edema in his feet, and other degenerative conditions... at 68 his health was failing fast. Today - he is pain free and healthier than he’s been in 15 years and so am I and so are many of my friends and family. How? -- it’s a simple natural answer... a sweet elixir from the heart of the Sonoran Desert. Inflammation is at the root of all pain and degenerative diseases including Arthritis, Fibromyalgia, Diabetes, Allergies, Asthma, Lupus, Digestive Disorders, Depression, Heart Disease, Sleep Disorders, High Blood Pressure, Alzheimer’s, Aging and more. Inflammation can be caused by stress, physical and emotional traumas, toxins, pathogens (virus, bacteria...), chemicals and drugs. Inflammation can affect any tissue in our bodies from the vital organs of our brain, heart or liver to muscles, joints and nerves.
Chromic Inflammation The Cause of Pain and Disease Chronic Inflammation, was responsible for all my friend’s problems... and mine, too. I have always believed that for every physical problem, there is a plant that can help solve it . My clear intention was to find that natural solution I did and will share that secret with you now... it is a simple cactus fruit from a very special location with a very rare ingredient. The nopal cactus fruit grown in the hottest and most extreme climate on the planet has created a natural defense to survive its extreme location... and its defense is our major miracle.
Nopal Cactus Fruit
Shaman and Medicine Women from the Southwest have known for centuries to use the fruit from this cactus for inflammation. Now over 300 medical research studies have proven that a very rare antioxidant in the fruit... called a Betalain... is what is so very effective in reducing pain and inflammation. It even stimulates stem cell regeneration!
Betalains The Answer to Pain and Inflammation Carried on the high frequency magenta pigment, all 24 different types of these rare anti-inflammatory Betalains are found in the fruit of this special cactus. Betalains target inflamed tissue and release and flush the waters which have collected the toxins, dead cells, pathogens, old drugs and chemicals... the toxic waters which cause the pain, degeneration and eventually disease. I found this juice recently and it’s bottled by a company that had the consciousness to cold press rather than pasteurize this precious juice to keep the enzymes and nutrients vital and bottle it in a nitrogen environment so that no preservatives have to be used!
Pain ... Gone! Within 5 days of drinking the juice... my friend pulled up his pant leg and said, “Look, I can see my ankle bones!” With so much edema in his feet, he hadn’t seen his ankle bones in years! A few days after that, his back and neck pain began going away -- after 15 years of suffering! We began sharing it with friends and we all began feeling better! We’ve gifted bottles of this juice to people, just like you, who have read this article and agreed to become educated about inflammation and give it at least a one or two month trial. I know now -- that this juice is not only an answer to our prayers for my friend’s pain and degeneration... it is our answer for longer, healthier, happier lives. It may very well be the answer you have been looking for, too!
If you, or someone you know, is suffering from pain and inflammation... Contact Your Health Coach at 1-877-897-3725 to experience wellness.
