ICE STORM MAKES FOR A SLIPPERY HALLOWEEN These blueberries growing in Horsefly were theatrically encapsulated in ice when freezing rain and snow descended on Williams Lake area on Halloween. The roads, and sidewalks in Williams Lake were so slick by Thursday morning that school buses were cancelled. Many people had to spend extra time removing thick layers of ice from their vehicles. The haunted house on Ninth Avenue hosted by the Metis Association also had to be cancelled at the last minute due to the freezing conditions. The city also issued notices for residents to take extra precautions as they struggled to clean up the streets and sidewalks. Don’t forget to turn your clocks back an hour Saturday night as Daylight Savings Time ends. Linda Bartsch photo

Halloween night turns violent MONICA LAMB-YORSKI Freezing rain did not deter criminal activity on Halloween night. RCMP Inspector Warren Brown said 20 people were lodged in cells in Williams Lake on Halloween night. Shortly after 9 p.m. the RCMP responded to a complaint of a home invasion on Barnard Street. Multiple calls were received about a group of people who had burst into a residence armed with machetes, bats, and bear spray. Once inside the residence, the suspects attempted to assault the residents, although the residents were successful in securing themselves in a locked room. The assailants then completely ransacked the interior of the residence using extreme violence.

When police attended, after a foot pursuit with several of the suspects, police managed to corner the assailants at a residence on Pinchbeck Street. A hostile and unco-operative group of 12 people believed to be involved were arrested. Fortunately, the victims did not suffer any injuries; however, there is extensive damage to the residence on Barnard Street along with the three vehicles parked at the residence, one of which was stolen and recovered during the incident. Brown said the home owners did not invite this activity nor did they know the assailants. “They unfortunately got caught in between a conflict between this large group and one individual, a neighbour, that they were trying to help.”

The investigation is on going and suspects remain in custody. All suspects are well known to the police and were all adults, except for one. Some with gang affiliation, Brown told the Tribune. Just after midnight, the RCMP were called to a residence on Pigeon Avenue to deal with a fight in progress. Upon police arrival several of the suspects fled from the scene. These suspects were armed with bear spray. Again, after a foot chase, three suspects were arrested. All combatants were known to each other. Compared to other years it was a busy Halloween night for the RCMP. “We are usually well staffed and prepared to take a higher volume of calls for service,” Brown said.

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

Just last week we phoned our oldest son to wish him a happy birthday and talk got around to baseball and the dismal year the Blue Jays just had and when was it they last made the playoffs anyway. In a fitting burst of nostalgia I remembered they had been in playoffs the week our son was born. “I don’t think so,” Darcy said. “Yes, yes they were!” I said, gather-

ing up steam. “I remember because we were all in the TV room at the hospital watching the game and everyone was so excited. Then I realized we were all in the TV room, even the nurses. I remember going into a panic because no one was watching the babies. Or baby as it were. “You were the only baby in the nursery that day. You had jaundice and had been there for almost a week...” I told our son. I was just about to move on to how the psych ward was experiencing the opposite conditions; too many patients. As a result it had overflowed into the edges of the maternity wing. I remember how one wild looking gentleman would roar with

woman who hung out in the hallway was convinced I had stolen her baby. She would start screaming, “Stop her! She has my baby!” And then she would begin to pursue me in her wheelchair. It was heartbreaking. And a little terrifying. But before I could start my reminiscing to prove what an excellent memory I have, I was interrupted by Google. “Let’s see...the week I was born the New York Mets were playing The Boston Red Sox,” says our son, who was sitting in front of his computer when we phoned and had just finished doing a quick search. “I told you!” says his father triumphantly. “But...but...why were we so excited if it wasn’t even a Cana-

The folic acid found in prenatal vitamin formulas is essential in preventing neural tube defects in the developing fetus. These defects can develop within 28 days after conception so it is important to start taking prenatal supplements about three months before planning to become pregnant. Continue taking them throughout pregnancy and breastfeeding as well. Donating blood is a very selfless thing to do. It is easy to do, too, and you can’t catch any disease by donating. You can donate every eight weeks but if each Canadian eligible to donate did it only twice yearly, there would be enough blood for all medical needs. Our Canadian blood system is the safest it has ever been.

Many medicines originate in nature, so it’s no surprise when it’s found that the lavender plant reduces the number of falls in the elderly in nursing homes.

In the show he fumbles catching a signed Mookie Wilson baseball, but is later redeemed when he catches a baby tossed from a burning building. And when Game 6 was happening and history was being made, I can tell you exactly where I was... in the hospital nursery watching my firstborn sleep. And that’s the power of Google.

dian team?” I ask. Turns out there are a lot of Boston and New York fans in Canada and beyond. In fact, NBC’s broadcast of that particular Game 7 was the most watched series game to date. The New York Mets eventual win was a heartbreaker given that in Game 6 Boston was leading the series three games to two and had taken a 5-3 lead in the top of the 10th. In the bottom half two Mets were struck out and the Sox were one out away from leaping into a pile and dumping Gatorade on the coach’s head. Alas, it was not to be. New York went on to tie the game and then scored the winning run after first baseman Bill Buckner let a ground hit by Mookie Wilson roll between his legs. That infamous game

I remember rushing down the corridor past the room of the roaring man and on to the nursery to find my newborn son sleeping peacefully. I also remember a roar of “Yesssss!” coming not from that poor man’s room, but from the TV room beyond. This in turn triggered the memory of how when our second son was born the maternity ward was so full they moved me into a room in the geriatric ward.

Last week I talked about how being part of a family is like attending World Peace University. It’s a training ground for learning how to get along, despite the inevitable differences. Tolerance, kindness and a great sense of humour are all important weapons, but I’d have to say the one that has brought the most peace to our family gatherings is Google. Before internet and handheld gadgets such as iPhones or iPads were so prevalent we could rage for hours about trivial stuff such as who acted in what movie or when some world event occurred or who invented what.

Learning from a master My sister tells a wonderful story about my nephew who, as a toddler, was busy, smart and very resourceful – a joy and, at times, a bit of a concern for his mom, I think. He was (and is) an explorer of the world, a fearless adventurer and an enormously kind young fellow. One early Mothers’ Day morning, very early and very morning, she woke to a gentle touch. There was my nephew standing beside the bed, balancing a tray not very well and trying to get her to sit up. “I brought you breakfast, Mummy” he said, his huge grin a likely representation of his pride. He had watched carefully his mom’s habit of doing nice things for people, including a few breakfasts-in-bed they had shared over the years, when he least expected it.

So, here he was, standing so tall and absolutely vibrating in anticipation as he offered her the tray. On it was a tea towel, a kid-type napkin (Kleenex), a bowl of cereal with a spoon and, sweetest of all, some dandelions in pretty good shape, considering their recent “smushing” into the glass. Her heart bursting, my sister sat up and fluffed her pillows so she could fully appreciate this amazing “first”. She closed her eyes and sighed “how fast they grow up” as she

took her first bite. CRUNCH! Not sure that such a sharp sound should come from a bowl of soggy Cheerios, she stopped chewing and, with mouth still full, looked at the spoon just out of her mouth. She was looking at the familiar, well-crusted spoon usually found on the back of the sink – the one used every day to dish up the cat’s wet food! Looking into her son’s big, brown eyes and being ever so careful to avoid as much contact with the inside of her mouth as possible, she swallowed hard but, to her absolute horror, she could still feel several scratchy pieces

in her mouth. Without a beat, she rose from the bed, silently gave her “server” a big mummy hug – she was unable to speak with so much saliva in her mouth! – and beat the land speed record as she fled to the bathroom. What a great mummy memory!

Stigma of dementia a barrier for families Williams Lake families living with the impact of dementia are also coping with stigma, according to a new study. Nearly three-quarters of people with dementia, and 64 per cent of family caregivers, believe there are negative associations for those diagnosed with dementia, says Alzheimer’s Disease International. Another alarming statistic revealed in the ADI report: 40 per cent of people with demen-

tia say they have been avoided or treated differently. The report puts a spotlight on stigma as a real issue that impacts individuals and families who are living with Alzheimer’s disease,” says Tara Hildebrand, support and education coordinator for Williams Lake and the Central Interior for the non-profit Alzheimer Society of B.C. “We want residents to know that there is hope and there are ways for

overcoming stigma so that we can all better support families on the dementia journey and work with decisionmakers to ensure that the rights of people living with dementia and their family caregivers are recognized.” The society offers education programs and support groups for both the individual who has been diagnosed with a form of dementia and their caregivers. A free local support and information group

serves as a forum for sharing practical tips and strategies for coping with the disease. It helps create support and friendship with others whose lives are affected by dementia. For more information contact Hildebrand at 250-3778200 (toll-free 1-800886-6946) or thildebrand@alzheimerbc.org.

Little new in B.C. Liberal renewal B.C. Liberal delegates gathered for their convention on the weekend at the Chateau Whistler, the same luxury hotel where Gordon Campbell fired up the troops in 2008. Back then the advertising slogan was “Keep BC Strong.” Unveiled at Premier Christy Clark’s preelection pep rally: “Together. Building BC.” This slight change hints at the big difference. Campbell led a front-running party to a third straight majority, while Clark is a struggling underdog pleading for unity to turn back an NDP tsunami. Hence “Free Enterprise Friday,” a discussion open to non-party members. Clark began with an upbeat speech urging party members to “reach out our arms, open the tent and be as big as we can possibly be.” So did they? Dashing between three concurrent sessions, I missed a fair amount of it, but there were some provocative suggestions to appeal to those inclined to support the resurgent B.C. Conservatives. An accountant spoke to a packed room about the growing unfunded liability of public sector pensions, most of which are still of the “defined benefit” variety. Based on bond interest rates that have since sunk to all-time lows, these government-guaranteed pensions are now a free ride for those lucky enough to have them, funded by the taxes of private sector workers who in many cases have no pension plan at all. There was talk of passing a law that all new public sector hires be restricted to a “defined contribution” plan where the employee and employer contribute

B.C. VIEWS TOM FLETCHER

equally and the pension is based on what those contributions yield. This would provoke the mother of all confrontations with the B.C. Federation of Labour, but there was no evidence yet that this is going beyond the talking stage. The resolutions continued the theme of confronting the labour movement, ritual combat that seems to be an inescapable part of B.C. elections. Delegates passed two motions, one calling for public sector unions to disclose what they spend on salaries, political activities and lobbying, and another advocating a ban on unions spending compulsory dues on political campaigns. This is a pet project of Nechako Lakes MLA John Rustad, whose constituency sponsored both motions. Rustad presented a private member’s bill last year to require detailed disclosure, but it was left to die on the order paper. Like all the policy resolutions debated at the convention, these ideas are not binding on the government. Again, there is no actual change on the horizon. Delegates rejected another motion that would have made membership in the B.C. Teachers’ Federation optional. This would have been a

declaration of war on B.C.’s most militant union, just as Clark and Education Minister Don McRae embark on a long-shot bid to end the decades of confrontation that have defined that relationship since teachers were relegated to the industrial union model of labour relations. There was a brief debate on a motion to scrap the carbon tax, sponsored by northern members who see it as unfairly punitive on those who endure cold weather and long highway drives for themselves and the goods they need to have trucked in. This was rejected too, after delegates were reminded

that the tax now takes in more than $1 billion annually that is used to reduce business and personal income taxes. Scrapping it would amount to announcing across-the-board income tax hikes, contradicting 12 years of B.C. Liberal policy just before an election. The good news for Clark is that the 2012 convention was a high-energy, wellattended event that contradicts the notion of a party in disarray. The bad news is, nothing has really changed.

While job opportunities may be limited today, event organizers say that over the next 10 years, there will be more than one million job openings in British Columbia, including more than 350,000 new jobs, which will result in a shortage of skilled labour, particularly in the trades.

The next film of the Williams Lake Film Club will be screened Tuesday, Nov. 6 at the Gibraltar Room. Innocent Voices is set in El Salvador in the 1980s. “When the war started, dad left for the United States,” Chava, the 11-year-old narrator tells us at the beginning of the film. “Mom said now I was the man of the house.” Eleven is a dangerous age, because when he turns 12 he will be drafted into the government army. In 2005 Innocent Voices received the Crystal Bear at the Berlin Film Festival which is given by a jury of seven young people ages 14 and up and is sponsored by the Kinderhilfswerk, the society to help children around the world. Great news, the equipment at the Gibraltar Room has been fixed. We now have surround sound and a great picture again. I am really looking forward to next Tuesday with the new equipment. Old fashioned Ger-

ing, jobs and how to get them. The event runs from noon to 7 p.m. The purpose of the job fair is to connect job seekers with potential employers.

Tips from The CrD

smoke Alarms

Smoke alarms save lives. 65% of home fire deaths happen in homes with no smoke alarms at all or no smoke alarms that work. When there is a fire, smoke spreads fast and you need smoke alarms to give you time to get out. •

Safety Tips

Install smoke alarms in every bedroom, outside each separate sleeping area and on every level of the home, including the basement. Interconnect all smoke alarms throughout the home. When one sounds, they all sound An ionization smoke alarm is generally more responsive to flaming fires and a photoelectric smoke alarm is generally more responsive to smoldering fires. For the best protection, both types of alarms or a combination alarm (photoelectric and ionization) should be installed in homes. Test alarms at least monthly by pushing the test button. Smoke rises; install smoke alarms following manufacturer’s instructions high on a wall or on a ceiling. Save manufacturer’s instructions for testing and maintenance. Replace batteries in all smoke alarms at least once a year. If an alarm “chirps,” warning the battery is low, replace battery right away. Replace all smoke alarms, including alarms that use ten year batteries and hard-wired alarms, when they are ten years old or sooner if they do not respond properly when tested. Be sure the smoke alarm has the label of a recognized testing laboratory. Alarms that are hard-wired (and include battery backup) must be installed by a qualified electrician. If cooking fumes or steam sets off nuisance alarms, replace the alarm with an alarm that has a “hush” button. A “hush” button will reduce the alarm’s sensitivity for a short period of time. An ionization alarm with a hush button or photoelectric alarm should be used if the alarm is within 20 feet of a cooking appliance. Smoke alarms that include a recordable voice announcement, in addition to the usual alarm sound, may be helpful in waking children through the use of a familiar voice. Smoke alarms are available for people who are deaf or hard of hearing. These alarms use strobe lights. Vibration equipment can be added to these alarms. Smoke alarms are an important part of a home fire escape plan.

Clergy United calls for protection of prison Chaplains’ contract

Supporting the rights and ministries of Canada’s faithworkers providing chaplaincy services to inmates of federal prisons, Clergy United is calling upon Federal Public Safety Minister Vic Toews to reverse his decision to cancel the contracts of part-time chaplains. “As clergy serving the United Church of Canada, we see firsthand how people’s troubled lives can be turned around when they connect with

trained, experienced chaplains. We want every person in prison to have opportunity to embark on a transformative path through the discovery or renewal of their faith, whether it is Christian, Jewish, Muslim or another belief system,” says Rev. Jim Evans, a minister of St. Thomas, Ontario congregations and a volunteer organizer of a union for clergy, forming within the CAW. “In calling upon Mr. Toews to protect the vi-

tal positions of part-time chaplains of various faiths, we are also asking him to uphold the freedom of religion granted to all Canadians, including those in prison,” Rev. Evans says. “Through my own ministry, I promote understanding and acceptance of different faith traditions. A Muslim sister and I created a worship service that honours the compatible wisdom of Jesus Christ and the Prophet Muhammad; this service is shared with Christian

congregations across Canada. Yet I would never be able to teach a Muslim inmate about his or her own faith. It wouldn’t be authentic, respectful or in accordance with that person’s right of religious freedom.” Clergy United adds its collective voice to that of the Right Rev. Gary Paterson, Moderator of the United Church of Canada. In a public letter to Mr. Toews on Oct. 15, the Rt. Rev. Paterson wrote: “Given the mix of

faiths in the prison population, there will always be a need for part-time chaplaincies. True, there is always the question of a wise use of financial resources, but money invested in chaplaincy services is money well-spent. People need spiritual care, and in the case of people whose troubled lives and relationships have been a factor in the commission of serious crimes, it can help put them on the path to a better future.”

“Bubba, does prayer really work?” Well the answer to that question really depends on what you intend to see accomplished when you pray. If we come to God believing that he is a benevolent cosmic slot machine and that prayer is the lever that gets the wheels spinning to hopefully land on the answer to our desires, then NO, prayer does not work. The purpose of prayer is not to try and convince God to align with our view of the world; it is to allow us to align with God’s intent in the world. Alvin VanderGrien says it this way,“Praying in faith is not an inner conviction that God will act according to our desires if only we believe hard enough. It involves believing that God will always respond to our prayers in accord with his nature, his purposes, and his promises.” Prayer is not an exercise to change God; prayer is more to change us. Prayer is the practice of the presence of God. It is the place where our pride is abandoned, our hope is lifted, and supplication is made. Prayer is the place of admitting our need, of

PARSONS PEN BY REVEREND BUBBA adopting humility, and claiming dependence upon God. Prayer is the needful practice of the Christian. Prayer is the exercise of faith and hope. Prayer is the privilege of touching the heart of the Father through Jesus. Often, we ignore prayer and seek to accomplish in the strength of our own wills those things that we desire to have or happen. Prayer becomes a last minute Hail Mary pass in order to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat. The credo is often heard, “When everything else has failed...pray.” At this point

is it really meaningful prayer, or a magic incantation that we hope changes the world to become formed to our will? Make no mistake; this is witchcraft, not prayer. For those of us who are too often guilty of this, we need to bow our knees, confess our sin, receive God’s forgiveness, and beg that the will of the Lord be done above our own. God is sovereign and loving and He knows what is best for us and others, even if it doesn’t always seem to make the most sense. Prayer changes the one praying because in prayer, you are in the presence of God as you lay before Him your complete self in confession and dependence. There is nothing to hide when in quiet supplication we are reaching into the deepest part of ourselves and admitting our needs and failures. In so doing, our hearts are quieted and pride is stripped and we enjoy the presence of God. The Apostle James states, “Draw near to God and He will draw near to you.” Prayer is the practice of the presence of God.

News Builders show opens The second biennial exhibition showcasing new Canadian art acquired by the National Gallery of Canada (NGC) over the past two years opens Friday Nov. 2 in Ottawa. Builders: Canadian Biennial 2012 features over 100 artworks acquired by the gallery’s departments of Contemporary Art, Indigenous Art, and Photographs, and selected from some 300 pieces of contemporary art purchased by or donated to the NGC since 2010. A range of artistic media is on view, from paintings, sculptures, drawings and prints, to photography, video and multimedia installations created by 45 emergent, mid-career, and longestablished Canadian artists. Supported by the RBC Foundation, Builders: Canadian Biennial 2012 is on view until Jan. 20, 2013. “In placing emergent practices alongside longestablished Canadian artists who have been instrumental in “building” a context for Canadian art today, Builders offers the opportunity to appreciate the range of aesthetic accomplishment in this country,” said NGC director Marc Mayer.

“It also reflects how this national museum builds upon its permanent collection through an informed understanding of the dynamic and thought-provoking realm of Canadian contemporary art at the most ambitious levels, and across generations.” According to organizing curator Jonathan Shaughnessy, associate curator of Contemporary Art at the NGC, “The multigenerational approach highlighted in Builders questions the often-held bias that innovation and creative experimentation are primarily the purview of new and emerging talent. Rather, the exhibition asserts a commitment to recognizing and discovering contemporary artists across generations whose work exemplifies

and builds upon determined and original creative visions.” To this end, Builders highlights a range of new productions by influential, some now iconic figures of Canadian art such as Michael Snow, Lynne Cohen, Chris Cran, Faye Heavyshield, Evan Penny, Joanne Tod, and Leslie Reid. Within this established basis the exhibition meanders through an engaging path featuring works by many newcomers to the collection including Ottawabased painter Melanie Authier; Winnipeg-born, Los Angeles-based painter and sculptor Jon Pylypchuk; the multidisciplinary Toronto artist Sandy Plotnikoff; as well as a unique sound installation by Vancouver and Berlin-based artist Mark Soo.

A multi-faced earthquake and tsunami response Shirley Bond Minister of Justice VICTORIA - Saturday night’s earthquake near Haida Gwaii serves as a reminder to all of us just how important it is to be prepared for emergencies. In the days since this event, a number of questions and concerns have come forward around how and when communities received tsunami information from the B.C. government. We have a robust and multi-faceted emergency management system in British Columbia, one that is recognized globally for its efficiency and effectiveness. While much of the public and media focus has been on social media, it’s critical to remember that it is just one part of what is a comprehensive notification system. I know that last weekend, in response to the earthquake, the system worked well at the local-authority level and our operational team at Emergency Management BC (EMBC) responded quickly and worked diligently to keep the public informed. This is not to suggest there aren’t aspects of the response that can’t be done better. On Saturday, as is the case when any earthquake happens

and there is the potential a tsunami may impact British Columbia’s coast, the first official notification came within minutes from the West Coast and Alaska Tsunami Warning Centre (WCATWC) in Palmer, Alaska. The WCATWC sent this notification to EMBC as well as to the many local governments, agencies, media and individuals who are registered with the WCATWC notification system. As is appropriate, many local authorities began acting as soon as they received this initial notification. As the next step to further increase awareness of this notification, EMBC staff then began using a variety of tools to relay this critical emergency information to local governments, media and key stakeholders. In fact, within 12 minutes the Emergency Coordination Centre (ECC) began directly calling provincial emergency management staff and local authorities in the impacted regions. Local authorities are the first responders in B.C.’s communities and are required by legislation to have emergency plans in place that include procedures for relaying critical emergency information to residents

and visitors. The initial tsunami notification from the ECC also went to senior levels of government, representatives from the military and Public Safety Canada, RCMP, utilities and BC Ambulance. Last weekend, we saw the leadership of local authorities up and down the Coast as they activated their emergency action plans. One of the other majors tools government uses to contact British Columbians directly is the Provincial Emergency Notification System (PENS). This was added in 2006 as part of our earthquake and tsunami response plan and uses technology to systematically send tsunami notifications via phone, fax and email to thousands of first responders, local governments and the media. Our government will do everything we can to notify as many people as possible. Our first priority is to contact first responders and those who will lead the local emergency response, and then to let them take over and decide how best to contact the citizens of their communities.

The staff behind our @EmergencyInfoBC Twitter feed will always beworking to find that right balance between accuracy and timeliness in how we post social media updates, but at the end of the day, the fact remains - if Mother Nature has let you know there is a problem, don’t wait for your cellphone to ring, or to get a text or Twitter message. Move into emergency mode and activate your plan. Especially if we’re facing a large earthquake or other disaster, your Internet or cellphone access may be limited and it will be your initial response that saves your life. The most important thing for people in coastal areas of B.C. to understand is that when the ground shakes - especially if it goes on longer than a minute - that’s the first notification that a tsunami could impact the area. Anyone in coastal locations who feels strong shaking from an earthquake should assume that a tsunami may have been generated and should immediately move to high ground as soon as the shaking stops.

We must never forget that emergency preparedness begins with each of us as individuals. All British Columbians should have emergency plans and kits in place for themselves and their families. You can find out how to create your own emergency kit at: http://goo.gl/fNFa3 And all British Columbians should take the time to familiarize themselves with their community’s emergency plan. As with any large emergency response, I have asked EMBC to conduct a review of how our response and communications systems worked. It’s onlyresponsible that we continue to look at not only what went right, but more importantly, where we can improve and how we can better work with our emergency response partners in local communities to notify and protect our citizens. I can reassure British Columbians that our government is committed to providing a world-class public safety response. Connect with the Province of B.C. at: www.gov.bc.ca/connect

Small businesses going green Small businesses throughout B.C. are ‘staying out of the red’ by going green, said Environment Minister Terry Lake to wrap up October as small business month. For example, three B.C. companies are turning their green ideas into greenbacks: Van Houtte Coffee Services, B.C. is leading by example and influencing others. Start-

ing in 2009, Van Houtte reduced their energy use, cut waste and converted a large part of their fleet to dual fuel trucks, hybrid cars and an experimental EV. Through efficiency programs, they have saved $100,000 and reduced emissions by over 202 tonnes annually. The lessons they have learned are shared with other business partners to help them

find ways to use better, greener business strategies. Glacier Creek Pacific Contracting is a Whistler-based construction company that builds energy efficient residences and buildings. Construction waste wasn’t just undermining their bottom line, it was also contradicting their corporate philosophy of being good environmental stewards.

Through strategic efforts that began in 2009, Glacier Creek reduced construction waste shipments to landfills by 35 per cent, which also cut CO2e emissions by 226 tonnes. Less waste in landfills saved them $64,500 in hauling fees. Pemberton Valley Lodge takes its commitment to green leadership very seriously with an award-winning

enjoying nature at scout island treasure hunt

approach that is based on a savvy business strategy. From recycling the soap in their hotel rooms, to cutting waste by 75 per cent, Pemberton Valley Lodge has made many changes with big results. One of these results is becoming one of only 56 hotels in North America to receive the coveted Five Green Key rating.

News

Small business heart and soul of communities Monica Lamb-Yorski Ninety-eight per cent of all businesses in B.C. are small businesses, Naomi Yamamoto, Minister of State for Small Business said while visiting Williams Lake last month. Speaking to a group of people gathered at a meeting hosted by the Williams Lake and District Chamber of Commerce, Yamamoto said a small business is defined as having 50 employees or less, but the overwhelming majority have five employees or less. “The small business community in B.C. accounts for more than one million jobs and about a third of B.C.’s Growth Domestic Product. For me more importantly, when the global economic crisis hit in

the latter part of 2008, small businesses only reduced the level of their employees by half a per cent.” Big business reduced its employees by eight per cent, Yamamoto added. Williams Lake Business Improvement Association president Sheila Mortensen confirmed there are 300 plus members in the association. Over the 40 years Mortensen’s been in business with her husband at Lakecity Glass Ltd., they’ve trained many glazers. “We always believe in certification and making sure they totally understand their job for their own personal safety, etc. The biggest problem is holding on to them once they’re certified,” Mortensen said, adding to keep them working 24/7 through the win-

ter, and to hold on to a journeyman glazer, “just about drains the piggy bank.” And if a company like hers is forced to lay someone off over the winter, there’s a good chance that employee will leave to find work in another city. Their employees are also sent away for six weeks of training at British Columbia Institute of Technology (BCIT) and Mortensen has seen some occasions where employees will visit the school to offer trainees jobs. In a place like Williams Lake, an employee can also be wellrounded because they aren’t limited in their experiences. Take for example the glass shop. In Williams Lake, Mortensen’s employees are not only doing store

front, or just doing automotive, or just doing cutting. If you hired a journeyman out of a bigger city like Vancouver that person might only be trained in one type of glass fitting, she suggested. The wages that small businesses can offer make it difficult for them to compete with bigger companies, however, Mortensen said small business owners can groom employees to eventually move further up. Getting new, and inexperienced workers in the door initially; however, is often the challenge. Yamamoto said in smaller towns and rural areas small business is the heart and soul of the community and those business owners will do anything to keep their

employees working. “It’s that attitude and spirit that makes small business so important,” Yamamoto said. As an association, the BIA has begun to focus on getting the business community to act as a unified body. “In 2013 I’d like to say to the business community, how are we going to promote our businesses in the downtown core, as far as getting the people through the door. That’s the key. And making your product enticing enough that customers will buy them,” Mortensen said, adding the question is always what is missing and why are people going to Kamloops to buy things? “We want to keep people in our town and we want to give that service quality that will keep them here.”

Bigger human genome rare variants Thanks to powerful computational tools developed at Simon Fraser University, more than 100 scientists from around the world have genetically mapped the largest and most varied number of human genomes to date. The scientists, including SFU doctoral students Iman Hajirasouliha and Fereydoun Hormozdiari (recently graduated), sequenced and analyzed a pool of 1092 human genomes. Hormozdiari is now pursuing postdoctoral studies at the University of Washington. The scientists sequenced the genomes of individuals from 14 different populations (five from Europe; three from Africa; three from East Asia; three from the Americas). The researchers used computational tools developed in Cenk Sahinalp’s lab to discover many variants in those genomes. Sahinalp, who is Hajirasouliha’s and Hormozdiari’s doctoral supervisor, is a professor in SFU’s School of Computing Science. In the largest previous study, which also involved Hajirasouliha and Hormozdiari in Sahinalp’s lab, scientists

sequenced the genomes of 185 people selected from an original pool of 1,000 human genomes. Delving into a larger and more varied pool of genetic information has enabled the scientists to discover more numerous and rarer genetic variations than previously known. Their findings have just been published in the Nature journal article An integrated map of genetic variation from 1,092 human genomes now online. “Rare genetic variants are indeed very important because on the evolutionary scale, they occurred most recently,” explains Hajirasouliha. “Their patterns of sharing among different individuals can reveal aspects of population history. “They are also very important in disease association studies, which aim often today to associate rare variants with diseases of genomic origin, such as autism and cancer.” The researchers have yet to figure out what their latest genetic cache means in terms of population health and diseases. That could take years.

FOI loop hole a concern Universities and other public bodies can still create independent companies whose records are beyond the reach of province’s Freedom of Information law, more than a year after the former Minister of Open Government promised to deal with the problem, says Vincent Gogoleck of the B.C. Freedom of Information and Privacy Association. “This is unacceptable,” Gogolek says. “The BC government clearly has no intention of preventing this abuse of our information rights.”

Last October, he says Information and Privacy commissioner Elizabeth Denham wrote a letter to then-minister Margaret MacDiarmid to highlight a BC Supreme Court ruling which found that university subsidiary corporations are in fact not subject to the demands of the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act. In her estimation, it was a relatively quick fix, Gogoleck says. Following that letter, former Minister MacDiarmid expressed a desire to work with Denham to fix the problem,

tre

Christmas Store

though for her it seemed a significantly more complicated matter. In response to a question from NDP critic Doug Routley on October 20, 2011, she said “We certainly have the intention of working with her [Denham] and looking to address it, but it would require consultation and would require a number of sections of the act to be different…The initial conversation is already starting with the commissioner, and we’re going to work in this area.” Since that statement, nothing has been done,

and the government has also cancelled the fall sitting of the Legislature. He says this is not the first time the question of secrecy within education bodies’ subsidiary companies has been given a free pass by the BC government. “For whatever reason, this government is allergic to making these subsidiary companies transparent,” Gogolek said. “Apparently they don’t agree with the Commissioner that whatever form it takes, if a body is carrying on public business it should be subject to FOI.”

HEALTH, MIND & BODY Three steps to help prevent diabetes Chances are you know someone with Type 2 diabetes. That someone may even be you. Currently more than three million Canadians have Type 2 diabetes. That number is expected to grow to just under four million by 2018. Genetics and lifestyle play a large role in the development of this serious health condition. Diabetes increases your risk of heart disease, kidney failure, blindness, nerve damage, and even erectile dysfunction. Making a few lifestyle changes can dramatically lower the chances of developing Type 2 diabetes. Take these three important steps to reduce your risk. Get moving. Aim for 30 minutes of activity a day. Getting active

doesn’t have to mean starting an exercise class or joining a gym. Choose activities that you enjoy or ones that you can do as a family - rake leaves, walk your kids to school, go for a bike ride after supper, or dance the night away! Maintain a healthy weight. Extra weight around the belly area is a risk factor for diabetes. Even a modest amount of weight loss can reduce your risk. Speak with your health care professional about a healthy weight loss goal and ways to achieve it. Eat well. Have foods from at least three of the four food groups at each meal. Fill half your plate at supper with vegetables, a quarter with a protein (from the meat and alternatives

group) and the other quarter with a starch (from the grain products group). Drink low-fat milk and choose low-fat yogurt or cheese. Keep your portions reasonable and go easy on high-fat spreads, dips, and sauces. Aim for two servings of fish each week and choose low fat meats like extra lean beef, turkey, and skinless chicken. Try cooking with beans, lentils, and tofu. These meat alternatives are inexpensive and have many health benefits. Lastly, cut out sugary drinks like soda. Sugary drinks provide extra calories and do not fill you up. For more great tips check out Eating Well with Canada‚Äôs Food Guide at http://www. hc-sc.gc.ca/fn-an/foodguide-aliment/index-

Bird tree tells new tale of evolution

Using the world’s first family tree linking every known bird species, scientists, including two at Simon Fraser University, have discovered that birds appear to be accelerating their rate of evolution. The finding is contrary to the scientists’ expectations. They spent five years creating their tree, using millions of years worth of fossil data stretching back to the Age of the Dinosaurs, DNA data and supercomputers. They then mapped where on Earth and when in history birds’ diversification took place. A new paper in the journal Nature contains

the scientists’ profile of how 9,993 bird species currently alive globally made it to where they are today. Based on previous studies, the researchers expected to see bird speciation slowing down through time. But SFU biologist Arne Mooers, Jeff Joy, a postdoctoral fellow in his lab, and researchers at Yale University, University of Sheffield and University of Tasmania have discovered birds’ speciation rate is increasing, not declining. “Perhaps birds are special,” theorizes Mooers. “Maybe they’re so good at getting around they can

escape local competition from relatives and start anew elsewhere, producing bursts of new species at different times and in different parts of the globe.” The authors have also discovered that birds’ speciation rate doesn’t drop off the further they are from the equator. Since three quarters of all birds are found near the equator, it was expected that speciation there would be more common. “We know the tropical biome has been shrinking during the last 15 million years,” says Joy. “Perhaps, just as bushtits bunch together closely at night, bird species have clustered

together in the tropics as their habitat shrunk.” “We need to think a lot more about how Earth’s changing climate has led to current distributions,” says Mooers. “It’s a lovely conundrum.” Unfortunately, birds’ rosy speciation history doesn’t nullify the fact that they can’t outfly their growing humaninduced rate of extinction. Researchers estimate that birds have recently been proliferating at a rate of about one new bird species every 700 years. Meanwhile, they estimate birds’ recent human-caused extinction rate to be about 300 times higher.

Premier attends P.G. cancer centre opening DELYNDA PILON Prince George Free Press Most people’s lives have been touched by cancer in some way, and Premier Christy Clark is no exception. Her mother won the battle against skin cancer and breast cancer, ultimately losing her life to brain cancer. Clark said she understood how important it is to be near your support group and for your loved ones to be able to be close to you when you are struggling with the disease. Every morning during her mother’s battle with brain cancer she would drive to the Royal Columbian Hospital, help her mother shower and eat, then put her to bed. After work she would pick up her son and they would go see her mother. Clark would feed her dinner and help her brush her teeth. Her mother may not have survived her final battle with cancer, but Clark said she did get to spend those final days with her in the best possible way. “It was her final gift,” she said. “Now families in Prince George will

also have that gift.” With tears in her eyes, Clark shared her story during the grand opening of the B.C. Cancer Agency Centre for the North on Monday. In a room filled with proponents who worked hard to make the centre a reality, local and provincial dignitaries as well as many of the 82 professionals who will staff the centre, she talked about the importance of a community coming together with a vision, then bringing it to life. “This is something you have needed in this community for a long time,” she said. She added the province has the best cancer survival rate anywhere in North America, thanks in great part to the B.C. Cancer Agency and the specialists who work there. Prince George now has the most recently built clinic, one of six throughout the province, filled with stateof-the-art equipment. “But the real difference is the people who work in the building,” she said. “It is these people and their passion for wanting to save lives ... that is what makes the differ-

ence.” Prince George Health Authority board chair Wynne Powell said that for the first time in the north, the newly constructed centre will allow patients to undergo radiation therapy. He added the centre is a key part of the northern cancer control strategy. In addition to being on time and below budget, the centre, he said, will enhance service across the cancer care continuum through the north. Dr. Michelle Sutter broached the subject of a local cancer centre when she noticed there was an abnormal number of mastectomies being performed in the North. “Women were unwilling to leave their support systems,” she said. The initial meeting with local MLAs Pat Bell and Shirley Bond led to several more, until Dr. Charles Jago, someone who has garnered a great deal of respect among a range of people, was put in charge of a steering committee, advocating for the project. A first report by the committee projected

the earliest such a clinic could become a reality was 2015. Bond said they knew that just wasn’t fast enough. “Northern B.C. has been asking for equity in health care for a long time,” Bond said.

Over the time it has taken to make the centre a reality, she said she was asked about it many times. “It’s not a matter of if,” she said she told people. “It’s a matter of when. And when is today.”

“Everyone south of Williams Lake told us it couldn’t be done,” Bell said. “When people tell northern British Columbians it can’t be done, they just roll up their sleeves. Today proves we can get it

done in northern B.C.,” Bond said. Construction for the centre began in July of 2010, with a capital cost of $91.5 million. The first patients were expected to walk through the doors on Nov. 1.

Employment Help Wanted

Nobody starts a business from home with the intent of failing. I know that. Yet 9 out of 10 do not continue, and of those that do, very few are truly successful. Like so many, I gave up. But what would you do if you heard of a business model like this? Consider. This business has no store location, no inventory, no shipping, no office overhead, no staff, no territory, no selling, creates cash flow quickly, and with excellent return on the dollar. It also solves the Home Entrepreneurâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s biggest problem. What is that? Finding customers! The company makes customers available to Independent Business owners. The company does the advertising and we share that cost - so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a 100% advertising expense. As long as they shop, you get a commission. And by the way, 90% of the income to the company is from customers. The company takes orders, ships to customers and delivers catalouges and magazines to our customers at no cost to us. We have access to a professional Business Services Team for any support needed.

ROUTES AVAILABLE: Door to door delivery before 8:00 am Tuesday & Thursday

I am enjoying business success because of being able to partner with the company in the acquisition of customers and with others of like mind, and similar bigger-than-average goals. Now you know what I did. What will you do? Call me.
