Family Literacy Fair a well-attended success CHRISTINA BOUCHER Across Canada, thousands of families, literacy groups, schools, libraries and community organizations gathered to celebrate the importance of literacy and learning in honour of Family Literacy Day – Canada’s largest family literacy initiative. Locally, awareness of the importance of literacy was spread from the Acwsalcta School gym on Thursday,

January 26. A wide array of events was enjoyed by the 158 attendees, which included children and adults alike. A banner stretched across the stage, reading “Muus yas ske paapqanap,” or: “It’s better for us all to read.” Acwsalcta principal Gerry Tetrault opened the ceremonies of the day by welcoming the crowd and noting the importance of literacy in our lives. Lance Nelson and Karen Anderson also provided a

welcoming address and led the Nuxalk Prayer. As the attendees explored the informational and interactive table displays, many performers lit up the stage with musical talents, including Brody Tuck, Rachel Chatham, Rebecca Chatham, as well as Caley and Niki Watts. A hugely popular event was the rock-climbing wall, which was enjoyed by the children, many of whom were experienc-

ing this fun physical challenge for the first time. Thanks to Lindsay and Geoff Gericke for managing the station and assisting the young climbers throughout the Fair. A book fair run in the library generated a lot of traffic, as did the many tables in the gym that provided free books, or the chance to win books in several draws. The storytelling tent in the library was always busy with young readers eager to listen to

stories. The aim of the Fair was to raise awareness about the importance of literacy, and to offer practical solutions to increase literacy at home, within the family. Nutritionist Liz Howard ran a display entitled “A Recipe for Literacy” that aimed to show how children could increase their literacy skills through cooking.

Literacy awareness growing in Bella Coola CONTINUED FROM

of apple slices and a raspberry-dairy fruit dip, Liz demonstrated how following a recipe with parents can help children to develop many skills while having fun. By following a basic recipe with an adult, a child can develop beginning reading skills, such as using numbers and word recognition, confidence by being able to prepare a snack or meal themselves, and patience, as in waiting for the pizza to come out of the oven! Importantly, children also gain “food literacy” by cooking, or the openness to try new foods, gaining an appreciation for the foods we eat and where those foods come from. Federal health nurse Caroline Diguistini also provided a healthy food option combined with literacy skills: she encouraged the interested children to write down the recipe for a banana smoothie on a note card, and rewarded their good efforts with the smoothie made there on the spot. Public health nurse Pat Lenci provided an engaging display that assisted both children and adults about sodium consumption. Healthy Beginnings staff also had fun, interactive displays that provided educational and creative activities for children. “So many people in the Valley are concerned about Literacy,” said Bella Coola Valley Learning Society (BCVLS) Executive Director Lori Campbell. “You can see the interest

both from the number of volunteers helping to organize the event today, and by the attendants of the Fair. Many social issues are related to literacy: health, income, economics, education – promoting literacy is key to achieving health and wellness for everyone.” Campbell explains that literacy awareness also continues to grow with support in the form of government funding. The coordination of literacy-related activities occurs through the BCVLS initiatives Literacy NOW and Community Adult and Family Literacy Program (CALP). Many of these activities are organized by Tamara Hynd, the Literacy Outreach Coordinator, and Janice Kyle, the CALP coordinator. Goals of these coordina-

Bella Coola resident presented with the Medal of Military Valour by the Governor General

Master Corporal Gilles-Remi Mikkelson is presented with the Medal of Military Valour

PRESS RELEASE: OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR GENERAL His Excellency the Right Honourable David Johnston, Governor General and Commander-in-Chief of Canada, announces the presentation of Military Valour Decorations and Meritorious Service Decorations (Military Division) to members of the Canadian and allied forces. The presentation ceremony took place on Thursday, January 26, 2012, at 10:30 a.m., at Rideau Hall in Ottawa. The Governor General presented seven Medals of Military Valour to members of the Canadian Forces who have displayed gallantry and

devotion to duty in combat, as well as four Meritorious Service Crosses (Military Division) and 28 Meritorious Service Medals (Military Division) to individuals whose specific achievements have brought honour to the Canadian Forces and to Canada. One recipient of the Medal of Military Valour was Bella Coola resident Sergeant Gilles-Remi Mikkelson, M.M.V. Sgt. Mikkelson was promoted to the rank of Sergeant in May of 2011, yet was ranked as Master Corporal at the time of his actions for which he was awarded the Medal of Military Valour.

On November 1, 2009, a member of Master Corporal Mikkelson’s joint CanadianAfghan foot patrol was severely wounded by an improvised explosive device. During the ensuing ambush, Master Corporal Mikkelson selflessly crossed through intense enemy fire to provide lifesaving first aid to the critically wounded Afghan soldier. Despite the danger, his outstanding courage saved a comrade’s life and brought great credit to Canada and the Canadian Forces. The Medal of Military Valour is awarded for an act of valour or devotion to duty in the presence of the enemy.

Have you ever attended the Christmas Eve service at Augsburg United? If you haven't you've missed a wonderful experience. It is a celebration of the season at its best. Sometime in November, people are given the opportunity to order a poinsettia in remembrance of loved ones to be used to decorate the church for the Christmas Eve ceremony. At some point on the 24th, members of the congregation take the sixty or so poinsettias and arrange them in a lavish display of red and greenery. As folks arrive in the parking lot on Christmas Eve, poinsettias peek out the window at them. As they enter the church, ranks of poinsettias march down the aisles beside the pews and more poinsettias peer from the front of the church. The dis-

Harper government spurs economy in B.C.’s Central Coast PRESS RELEASE WESTERN ECONOMIC DIVERSIFICATION CANADA On January 26,2012, Senator Yonah Martin, on behalf of the Honourable Lynne Yelich, Minister of State for Western Economic Diversification, announced support for the Heiltsuk Economic Development Corporation to upgrade the fish processing plant in Bella Bella, British Columbia. "Our Government’s top priority is the economic recovery and Canada’s commercial fishing industry plays a vital role in helping to keep our economy strong,” said Senator Martin on behalf of the Honourable Lynne Yelich, Minister of State for Western Economic Diversification. “The upgraded Bella Bella Fish Plant will increase the amount of seafood processed on the central coast of B.C., creating more jobs and supporting economic growth.” This investment of over $1 million in Western Diversification Program (WDP) and West Coast Community Adjustment Program (WestCCAP) funding will assist in building renovations and repairs to the current facility. It will also enable upgrades to the refrigeration system and ice maker, as well as the acquisition of capital equipment necessary to support the processing of fresh marine finfish and shellfish

New Prosperity gold-copper mine project public comment period and participant funding CHRISTINA BOUCHER Taseko Mines was approved in November 2011 for another chance at an environmental assessment for its proposed gold and copper mine at Fish Lake, B.C. At that time, the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency (CEAA) announced a

review panel to look into the company's proposal for the massive New Prosperity Mine, located 125 kilometres southwest of Williams Lake, B.C. An earlier review panel initially found an earlier version of Taseko's mine environmentally unacceptable. Based on that assessment, then-environment minister Jim

Prentice refused to let the project go ahead in November 2010. The review panel will be a group of independent experts selected on the basis of their knowledge and expertise and appointed by the minister of the environment. The CEAA's decision to reopen the case left local First Nations extremely disappointed. "We were hoping that the Canadian government would do the honourable thing and just turn the company down from doing another environmental review," said Chief Joe Alphonse, Tribal Chair of the Tsilhqot'in National Government. Alphonse said he worries that industry has too much influence in Ottawa. The CEAA announced on January 23, 2012 the start of a public comment period on two documents related to the second environmental assessment. Taseko's original proposal for the mine would have used Fish Lake as a tailings pond for chemical waste

from the mining process. The company argued that this was the only profitable way to exploit the gold and copper in the area. The New Prosperity Mine will save Fish Lake and instead will use a smaller lake for tailings. The company says that because the price of gold is so much higher, it can afford the extra $300 million it will cost to save the lake. Whether or not the lake is saved, some experts say the CEAA's decision to do another assessment sets a bad precedent. "If it's open for proponents simply to come back a few months later and insist on their rights to have a new assessment, then I think that's troubling," said Chris Tollefson, executive director of the Environmental Law Centre at the University of Victoria. Tollefson believes that there needs to be "finality" in these decisions. The review panel has one year to complete its assessment. The CEAA invites

the public to comment on the draft environmental impact statement (EIS) guidelines and the draft terms of reference for the review panel. The guidelines provide direction to the proponent and identify the information that is required in the environmental impact statement. The terms of reference establish the mandate and authorities of the review panel, as well as the procedures and timelines for the review. The public is invited to submit written comments on both documents to the Agency in either official language by February 22, 2012. After taking public comments into consideration, the guidelines and the terms of reference will be finalized and made public. The draft EIS guidelines, the draft terms of reference as well as additional information on the project are available in the Canadian Environmental Assessment Registry on the Agency's Web site at www.ceaa-acee.

Ferry commissioner report: Realistic roadmap for all ferry stakeholders NEWS RELEASE: FERRY ADVISORY COMMITTEE CHAIRS (FACC) BC Ferry Commissioner Gordon Macatee delivered his review of the Coastal Ferry Act to Transportation and Infrastructure Minister Blair Lekstrom on January 23. The report contains 24 major recommendations for government, BC Ferries, ferry users and other stakeholders. In undertaking this review, Macatee and deputy commissioner Sheldon Stoilen conducted a public consultation process, including 40 meetings in 27 communities and involving approximately 2,000 people. The public was also invited to comment on nine topics on the BC Ferry Commission's website, and meetings were held with BC Ferries, First Nations, municipal councils, chambers of commerce, tourism organizations, regional districts and other stakeholders. The Ferry Advisory Committee Chairs (FACC) welcome the BC Ferry Commissioner's report on the Coastal Ferry Act as a realistic though rocky path toward sustainability of essential coastal transportation. The Commissioner found that fares have reached the "tipping point of affordability" and that "all of the principle stakeholders will need to be part

of the solution." "The Commissioner has drawn a realistic picture of the problems in the ferry system," says Tony Law of the Denman-Hornby FAC, "and of the responsibilities all the stakeholders have for fixing those problems." The FACC are pleased to see several of their long-standing requests among the Commissioner's recommendations: 1) Make the Ferry Commissioner's main responsibility protecting interests of ferry users and taxpayers; 2) Remove the requirement that the ferry system move toward user pay; 3) Remove the ban on cross-subsidization among route groups; 4) Limit future price cap increases to the rate of inflation. "These are essential elements for reining in the galloping fare increases, which since 2003 have eroded ridership, hurt coastal economies, and threatened the sustainability of BC Ferries itself," says Brian Hollingshead of the Southern Gulf Islands FAC. But they're not enough. "Coastal ferry users have to be realistic and accept some service changes," says Harold Swierenga of Salt Spring FAC. "But we want to be absolutely clear: service cuts are only acceptable if the provincial government does its part too, and increases

its financial contribution to adequately support the coastal ferry system. Anything else just won't work." The FACC considers government contribution to be adequate if it brings fares back from the tipping point. That requires an initial fare roll-back, to create a sustainable baseline for inflation-indexed increases. "Only this method will restore traffic to levels that will support the system," says Bill Cripps of Northern Sunshine Coast FAC. "We realize the provincial treasury has many demands on it," says Cripps, "but we believe adequate support for ferries is critical economic investment. Given that economic growth depends on solid transportation infrastructure, adequate ferry support underpins the Premier’s jobs plan." The FACC comprises the chairs, or their designates, of the routespecific Ferry Advisory Committees, appointed by BC Ferries to represent the interests of ferry users and ferrydependent communities. Macatee was appointed Commissioner effective May 1, 2011. He is an independent officer of the legislature.

Is garlic good for you? DR. PAUL MARTIQUET, MEDICAL HEALTH OFFICER FOR RURAL VANCOUVER COASTAL HEALTH INCLUDING POWELL RIVER, THE SUNSHINE COAST, SEATO-SKY, BELLA BELLA AND BELLA COOLA Garlic has played the role of folk health remedy for centuries, millennia even. It has been touted as a health product that helps with everything from the common cold to the plague. And its role in controlling the movements of vampires has long made it valuable. (Yes, vampires.) The “stinking rose” has long been studied yet its health effects are unclear and even less proven. To quote a European Commission request for scientific study, “garlic…is generally considered beneficial for human health. However, the mechanisms behind the health beneficial effects of garlic are poorly understood.” Claims that garlic helps to lower cholesterol, fight cancer, hypertension, diabetes, Alzheimer’s and even the common cold have led to an industry selling garlic supplements as a health products with all kinds of claims. But don’t get your hopes up — there’s no

proof. Garlic contains the compound allicin, which is produced when garlic is cut or crushed. Allicin gives garlic its aroma and flavour, but it breaks down completely and is entirely destroyed if the clove is cooked before being cut. Allicin is also touted as the key health remedy. There is some support for it being able to reduce blood clots and studies on animals and in the lab support this. However, little is known about its effect on humans. This is because nearly all human studies have been poorly designed, too small or too short-term to draw real conclusions. The areas of interest in garlic are centered on the effects of allicin. Some research has shown that LDL (“bad”) cholesterol may be reduced by garlic. Other studies have found no such relationship. Blood pressure is a second interesting area. Again, some research does show that garlic can lower blood pressure in people with hypertension. Can garlic prevent cancer? Again, the evidence is thin and mixed. Some population studies have found that people who eat lots of garlic have a lower risk of certain cancers, in particular, stom-

ach, colon and prostate. However, those studies have not been large enough nor randomized so it is just as likely there is something else about garlic eaters that affects the cancer rather than garlic itself. In other words, there is a correlation, but not a proven causation. Other claims about the benefits of garlic include upper respiratory infection, diabetes and arthritis are all unsupported. The garlic supplement industry has evolved on the back of these claims, and hopes, but if there are benefits to garlic, the best bet is to consume the vegetable. Supplements can vary widely in quality and will often include unsupported claims on their labels. Indeed, in some tests, label claims were unsupported in about half the samples. Worse, some products were contaminated with unlisted ingredients with harmful side effects. Garlic may well have health benefits — and it’s a great ingredient is cooking, too — but few claims have been supported by fact. (And why include its role against vampires? Just to show that not all of garlic’s benefits are necessarily believable.)
