Temporary beds available for homeless in cold weather
Carole Rooney Free Press
Ten extreme weather spaces have once again been funded by the provincial government for 100 Mile House this winter. These temporary spaces are available under the Extreme Weather Response Program [EWRP] from Nov. 1 until March 31, to increase emergency shelter space so homeless individuals can have a warm bed for the night when weather conditions threaten 451 N.

their safety and health. To access an extreme weather space during these months, homeless people needing shelter in 100 Mile House must be assessed and referred to these emergency shelters by RCMP, the hospital, or the Homeless Outreach Worker (HOW) at Canadian Mental Health Association-South Cariboo Branch (CMHA) at 250-706-7599. CMHA acting executive director Susann Collins says these spaces include a room made available at the 99 Mile Motel, as part
of the 100 Mile’s Extreme Weather Response Plan, which allows the RCMP to assist homeless people in cold weather. However, the assessment process must be done and result in a referral before these short-term beds are provided, she explains. “Because we don’t have a big shelter like some bigger towns do ... we’ve had to put some limitations on who we can shelter, because we don’t have 24-hour [HOW] staff, we just have regular staff at the motel room.” While the government funds

Sometimes, the HOW will arrange a space or spaces at another motel or elsewhere, Collins adds.

Storm wreaks havoc with hydro
A windstorm, snowstorm and some falling trees causing a series of separate power outages on Nov. 16, spread from Canim Lake to 108 Mile Ranch and kept local residences in the dark for up to 16 hours. The early Saturday morning outage hit areas of 108 Mile Ranch at 3:06 a.m., affected 163 residences until power was fully restored at 10:44 a.m. Another 764 houses in other areas of that community were left without power from 3:41 a.m. to as late as 1:02 p.m. Then over at Spring Lake, Dempsey Lake and Larson Lake roads to the north-east, the electricity shut off at 4:43 a.m. and was out until 1:09 p.m., impacting 39 residences. Another 216 homes

In Forest Grove, 11 Ruth Lake Road residences had no electrical service from 4:43 a.m.8:57 p.m, more than 16 hours. In the District of 100 Mile House, 74 homes
and businesses were without hydro power from 4:08-11.56 a.m.

The night before, a Nov. 15 power outage from 10:10 p.m. until 4:34 a.m. on Nov. 16, hit 129 Wilcox Road households in Forest Grove, just about the time the wind had begun wreaking havoc further west. A scattering of other power outages from storms over the same weekend affected less than eight residences each at varied times throughout the day, with durations ranging from about four to 11 hours.

Free quit-smoking app available Your Smartphone can help smokers quit smoking
The BC Lung Association QuitNow program has gone mobile by delivering free quit smoking support into the palm of your hand day or night. “We’re all becoming increasingly reliant on our mobile phones,” says Jack Boomer, QuitNow director for the BC Lung Association. “So it follows, if our role is to be there for British Columbians struggling to quit, we need to be easily accessible through any mobile device. Now, all of our quit smoking tools, contests and support
services can be easily navigated through your Smartphone or iPad, as well as your desktop computer.”
If a quit plan is what you need, QuitNow offers a step-by-step quit guide that identifies smoking triggers and coping tips. It also has an interactive tool
to help you know how much money you’ve saved by not buying cigarettes and how long you’ve been smoke free. If motivation is what you’re after, you can sign up for the text messaging support service, participate in the monthly quit and win contest (tobaccofreetuesdays.com) or join the Facebook community, where 8000-plus members share tips and celebrate quit milestones day and night. Or, if what works best for you is one-onone advice, call a quit coach toll-free (1-877-
455-2233) or get expert advice online through QuitNow’s live chat service. “Our goal is to empower people” says Boomer. “We know most smokers want to quit, but quitting is not easy. By ensuring our services are close at hand, we hope you’ll reach for your Smartphone instead of a cigarette.”

“If some service clubs or a church had somebody that came to them that needed help and shelter, if they put them up in a motel room, we could pay their expenses retroactively.” Cariboo-Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett says the province’s EWRP program will provide up to $1.5 million this winter for about 1,100 temporary emergency shelter spaces in more than 80 communities. “Here in the Cariboo, weather conditions can be quite harsh during the winter months. Being able to provide a place of refuge when this happens is important, and having extreme weather shelters available in our community could save lives.”
Barnett explains these 10 spaces are not provided as long-term shelter, but for use as a last resort. “The government has been doing this now for a few years in different communities. Since the need is here, I’m grateful that we are having this opportunity, so that these people are in somewhere where it is warm and safe.” More information is available online at www.bchousing.org/ Options/Emergency_ Housing/EXR#sthash. KtGHhstI.dpufEmergency beds for extreme weather. While many homeless are unlikely to have access to the Internet, concerned community members can learn more about the program to potentially
steer those in need in the right direction. Barnett notes emergency personnel across the province often play a key role in encouraging people with no shelter during bad weather conditions to make use of available rooms. There have been dis-
cussions in the local community about finding ways to increase support and shelters for the area’s homeless people for the past several years, Barnett adds. “There is a need for it here ... we certainly don’t want anyone out in the cold and freezing.”

Ex-MLA Stewart gets Asia trade post
3rd Annual Touch of Christmas.
By Tom Fletcher Black Press
Former MLA Ben Stewart is British Columbia’s new investment and trade commissioner for Asia Stewart will be based in Beijing, but will travel to Japan and Korea to meet regularly with officials working for B.C.’s international trade ministry. Stewart said his experience promoting the wine industry in Asia will help him in the job. Premier Christy Clark emphasized Stewart’s experience as an MLA and cabinet minister, which she said gives him quick access to her and other cabinet ministers. “We need a representative in Asia who is known to have access to power and government here in British Columbia. That is a critical part of doing successful business in Asia.” Stewart, owner of Quail’s Gate winery, stepped down shortly after winning re-election in WestsideKelowna in May so Clark could run in a by-election in July. He will be paid $150,000 to serve in the Asia trade role, which is about the same salary he received as a cabinet minister before he was demoted to the backbench when Clark was selected as B.C. Liberal leader. The cabinet order appointing him allows the salary to increase to $170,000. NDP international trade critic Bruce Ralston said B.C. has two dozen staffers in their Asian trade offices, with senior people who speak the local languages and are more qualified than Stewart. “There isn’t a provincial senate, so I guess this is the next best thing.” Stewart said he worked on trade issues in Hong Kong, Taiwan and Japan as well as Europe and Latin America, trying to open markets for the B.C. wine industry. That experience taught him “how difficult it is to establish relationships from afar,” he added. The announcement comes as Clark prepares for her own trade mission to Asia in late November, following similar tours by Forests Minister Steve Thomson and Natural Gas Development Minister Rich Coleman. After the May election, Clark established a new ministry of international trade, headed by Richmond Centre MLA Teresa Wat, who will accompany Clark on the trade mission Nov. 21 to Dec. 3.

Blind exercise available in 100 Mile House Free exercise program for visually impaired and blind people
By Lori Fry Members from the Canadian Council of the Blind (CCB) 100 Mile House & District Chapter White Cane Club, along with community volunteers, participate in the BC Blind Sports and Recreation Association (BCBSRA) exercise program for “Visually Impaired Seniors, But Not Limited to....” at the 100 Mile Community Hall. We meet every Friday at 9:30 a.m. with instructor Rainer Meyer, and are now in the third 10-week session. “It is a fabulous, fun and fully funded opportunity for visually impaired and blind individuals to participate in a fitness program that has been designed for those with vision loss and targets all levels of fitness abilities.” Measures are taken to ensure the safety of blind attendees through modifications of the various movements and other activities, Fry says, adding there is no pressure to do more than each person can do. The 100 Mile House group is extremely grateful to the BCBSRA for not only offering this program, but for also recognizing the
importance of healthy living and the need to provide encouragement of participation through accessible activities to those with vision loss. “The benefits of this program go beyond the obvious improvements to one’s physical and mental health.” For more information, e-mail odifry@ shaw.ca. Lori Fry is the first vice-president of the CCB BC-Yukon Division.

AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, you have only a few days to learn some new procedures at work. It is natural to feel nervous, but put aside those feelings and concentrate what is at hand. PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, don’t worry too much about an upcoming change around the office. You’re in position to benefit from some restructuring.

Environmental petitions accepted
The Office of the Auditor General of Canada has an environmental petitions process that allows any resident of Canada to submit a petition to ministers of 26 federal departments and agencies who must then personally reply to the petition within 120 days. The petitioner can pose questions or concerns they have relating to either environmental or sustainable development matters that fall within the authority of the federal government.
In the past, petitions have covered a diverse range of issues from oil tankers on the west coast, salmon farming, fisheries, pollution, shale gas fracking, toxic chemicals and climate change. Subject to the consent of the petitioner, the petition and the ministerial response are then published online at www.oag-bvg. gc.ca/internet/English/ p e t _ f s _ e _ 9 1 9 . ht m l , which allows more Canadians to become informed about the

A healthy mouth definitely part of a healthy pregnancy Living Well Health tips… for your whole life.
Interior Health
What you eat during pregnancy helps keep you healthy and contribute to the growth and development of your baby. Vitamins and minerals found in healthy foods are important for normal tooth formation, which starts as early as five weeks. You may need to eat frequently during your pregnancy. Snack on healthy foods, such as fresh fruit and vegetables, dairy products, grains and meats, rather than sweet or sticky foods that can increase your risk for tooth decay. Remember to cut down on sugar in tea and coffee and limit sugary drinks to mealtimes. Many pregnant women say they feel so ill that they don’t feel like eating, especially in the morning. Morning sickness does happen and it not only affects your desire to eat, it can also affect your teeth as well. If you throw up
By Carol Gulliford There is nothing more precious than bringing a new life into the world. Teeth are not the first thing that comes to mind when thinking of pregnancy and the health of the soon-tobe mother and newborn child. However, dental care is an important part of a healthy pregnancy. Yes, it is safe to visit your dentist during your pregnancy for routine cleanings and check-ups. It is important to let the dental office know you are pregnant, so they can adjust your appointment and treatment plan to accommodate you and your baby. Healthy teeth and gums mean less harmful bacteria to pass onto your baby. If you have tooth pain or an infection, be sure to see your dentist. Bacteria that cause gum disease have been linked to pre-term births and low birth weight babies.
often, your stomach acids can break down your tooth enamel. After throwing up, the first thing you might want to do is reach for your toothbrush, but don’t! It is best to wait 30 minutes before brushing your teeth. Instead, rinse your mouth with water first, then rinse again with a fluoride mouth wash. The fluoride helps to re-

For two decades an annual holiday memorial by the 100 Mile & District Hospice Palliative Care Society has been keeping memories alive. Starting on Nov. 29 as part of the 22nd Annual Memory Tree Celebration, hospice volunteers will be stationed at the Cariboo Mall in 100 Mile House where symbolic Christmas tree lightbulbs will be available, as well as a book in which people can write the names of the ones they are remembering. “The season is one of joy with family and friends, but very often someone is missing from the celebrations,” explains Caroline Sharpe of the 100 Mile & District Hospice Palliative Care Society. “Everyone has memories of someone they
Volunteers will also be at the Cariboo Mall on Nov. 30 and Dec. 6 and Dec. 7. On Dec. 13 at 6 p.m., the Memory Tree Celebration will be held in the 100 Mile District General Hospital cafeteria near the Fischer Place entrance where the names of those remembered will be read aloud. “There will be music
and readings and the tree outside the firehall across the road will come alive with lights. Those present share tears and companionship and keep the memories alive,” said Sharpe. Proceeds go to fund equipment for patients in the hospital or their homes, education for volunteers, books and DVD’s for the community and bereavement support groups which are held on a regular basis, Sharpe adds.

The Charitable Giving study by Insights West found that although the Alzheimer Society of B.C. ranks high in terms of brand awareness among B.C. non-profit organizations, only about 14 per cent of B.C. adults have made a donation to the Society in the past. The good news is nearly double the number of adults who have heard of the organization express a willingness to donate to the cause in the future. To learn more about the many ways to give to the Alzheimer Society of B.C. go to www.alzheim erbc.org and click on the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Donateâ&#x20AC;? link at the top of the page.
