Public input on BC Services Care requested Online public consultation on digital services underway

The Ministry of Technology, Innovation and Citizens’ Services is inviting British Columbians to share their ideas on the future of digital services in British Columbia, and how the BC Services Card could potentially help enable better service delivery. This open public consultation is one part of a broader process designed to help inform government

of the values and needs of citizens with regards to the future of the BC Services Card and digital services. From now until Dec. 5, 2013, to complete the survey and leave their comments, visitors can go to: http://gov.bc.ca/ digital services.

REGULAR ADMISSION

FRIDAY, NOV. 29 thru THURSDAY, DEC. 5

British Columbia isn’t ready to consider a wholesale shift to Internet-base voting in either local or provincial elections, according to a new report from Elections BC. Chief Electoral Officer Keith Archer released the report recently, warning that even if a host of technical and security issues can be resolved, there is no consistent evidence voter turnout would be increased. Archer asked the B.C. Liberal government in 2011 for authority to conduct pilot projects for electronic voting. The government appointed him to chair an expert panel last year, and its preliminary findings are not encouraging. While there are likely benefits for voters with disabilities or in remote locations, the report concludes governments should not expect either lower costs or greater participation from voter access via computers and mobile devices. Despite the widespread use of new technology by young people, a survey of other results showed middleaged and older people more likely to use online voting. The committee rec-

ommends that online voting be considered first as an option for people with access restrictions, such as those who vote by mail. It says universal voting should only be be attempted on a province-wide basis for consistency, security and ability to audit results. No provincial or federal voting has been conducted online in Canada, but municipalities including Halifax and Markham, Ontario have tried it, as well as some United States and European jurisdictions. Archer said online voting has unique challenges, such as the need to verify a person’s identity and then keep that separate from their voting choice. Another issue is how to verify security of a range of computers, tablets and mobile phones that could be subject to software tampering. “It’s not like banking online; it’s not like dating online. It’s not

World AIDS Day held on December 1 FOREST GROVE Shelly Carrera 250-397-2400

shellycarrera@hotmail.com

On Dec. 1, the world will observe World AIDS Day and this year Aboriginal Awareness Week will be launched on the same date. Dec. 1, 1988 was the first time world leaders came together to find a way to stop the spread of HIV/AIDS. The goal of World AIDS Day is to increase awareness, education, fighting prejudice, and looking back on what has been achieved by the national and global response to HIV/AIDS. Services will be held all over the world on this date with more than 900 ceremonies in more than 110 countries where tens of thousands of people will have candle-lighting ceremonies. A “Remembering” service will take place Dec. 4 at 4:30 p.m. at the White Feather Family Centre at the Canim Lake Band Reserve. This local event was started

in 1999 by Antoinette Archie who worked with Gail Orr, a longtime community health nurse, because they felt support was needed for those who were dealing with loved ones who had HIV/AIDS. Awareness needed to be raised in order to deal with fear, ignorance and discrimination. Education goes a long way to solving these and many other issues concerning this horrible disease, they decided. The Tsqlexs re wumec (Circle of Life) HIV/ AIDS Support Group has been recognizing World Aids Day for 12 years. Canim Lake will have a variety of activities, such as handing out pamphlets, putting up posters, a number of presentations, a candlelighting ceremony and a Community AIDS Awareness Kit will be available at White Feather Family Centre. Everyone is welcome and encouraged to attend and participate. The “Remembering” service is aimed at raising AIDS awareness, to

remember those who have died of AIDS and those who are living with AIDS, as well as their family members and friends. Holidays can be difficult, especially Christmas, when people have lost a loved one and the Circle of Life recognizes it can help if those loved ones are honoured and remembered. The Circle of Life, a concept of everlasting life in harmony and balance, is run entirely by volunteers who spend countless hours involved in education, support, awareness and activities in the community. They are also involved in raising funds so they have the money to run these programs. Volunteers are always needed, so if you would like to help out call the White Feather Family Centre at 250397-2717, leave your

times with comedians, theme dance nights and other fun events.

It is now classified

as a family restaurant. Folks can now bring the whole family for a dining experience and no one needs to stay at home. Fire department news The Lone Butte Fire Department (LBFD) members would like to thank the community for staying safe on the roads, and they ask everyone to remain vigilant in driving safely through

the busy Christmas shopping season. The LBFD has numerous smoke detectors that are provided free to seniors.

Free Dementia tele-workshop offered Dec. 5

For All Your Wall And Floor Tile Needs

Melissa Cadsand

Alzheimer Society of B.C. provides families tools to live with dementia Changes in communication and behaviour are very common in people living with Alzheimer’s disease or other dementias. Area families can learn practical techniques for living with those changes during a free tele-workshop offered by the non-profit Alzheimer Society of B.C. “Und e rst and i ng Behaviour” runs on Dec. 5 and offers practical strategies that family caregivers can use when dealing with the challenges of supporting a person with dementia at home. It starts at 7 p.m. Visit www.alzheim erbc.org or phone tollfree 1-866-994-7745, and enter pass code 1122333, when prompted.

SUBSCRIBE to the Free Press

Te l e - w o r k s h o p s are learning sessions designed for family caregivers, but are also open to health-care providers. Recognizing that many caregivers are unable to attend inperson workshops, the

sessions can be accessed via telephone, with an optional computer component that allows you to watch the video presentation online. At the end of the teleworkshop, participants have an opportunity to ask questions and share

with others who are in similar situations. For more information on Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias,

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 It can be easy to allow excitement to overtake logic, Gemini. Be patient and do not allow exuberance to interfere with the tasks at hand. That is a recipe for trouble. CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, a hefty workload at the office may zap your desire to do much else. However, don’t pass up the opportunity when a social engagement beckons this week. LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, you will have to continue your rather hectic pace this week, even when you feel tired. Fortunately, you are excited about some of the things on your to-do list. VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, getting involved with the right people now opens doors that previously may have been closed to you. Do not squander the opportunity to use these new contacts. LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, conflicting emotions arise in the week ahead. You have the desire to fulfill people’s expectations of you, but you also just want some time to yourself. SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, maintaining your focus on chores is nearly impossible this week; you are easily distracted by anything that sounds interesting. Try to get your work done.

Fall and winter weather driving

Speed-related crashes significantly increase October-December. Every year in November, an average of 25 people are injured or killed in crashes in the North Central region of British Columbia due to driving too fast for the conditions. That number nearly doubles to 46 in December as driving conditions worsen. That’s why ICBC and police launched a speed awareness campaign urging drivers to prepare for the challenges of driving in the fall and winter and to adjust their driving to the road conditions. “Safety is our top priority and we want drivers in the North Central region to be prepared for the rapidly changing weather conditions we experience at this time of year,” says Todd Stone, Minister of Transportation and Infrastructure. “Whether it’s your daily commute or a trip out of town, give yourself extra travel time so you aren’t rushing and always check drivebc.ca before heading out so you can prepare for the road conditions you’ll encounter.” Even in the best conditions, driving requires your full attention,” says Suzanne Anton, Attorney General and

Minister of Justice. “This is even truer when you’re on the roads in poor weather. When you drive too fast in wet, icy or snowy conditions, it’s harder to react to the unexpected.” Seven out of 10 speed-related crashes in B.C. are caused by driving too fast for the road conditions, such as in rainy, icy or snowy weather. Throughout November, police and Speed Watch volunteers across B.C. are asking drivers to slow down and adjust their speed for the conditions. “In the North Central region, drivers often encounter dark, icy weather at this time of year,” says Chief Const. Jamie Graham, chair of the Traffic Safety Committee of the British Columbia Association of Chiefs of Police. “Don’t be foolish and think you don’t need to adjust your driving for the conditions. Slow down, increase your following distance and give yourself plenty of time to get to your destination. Posted speed limits are for ideal driving conditions only.” With the arrival of darker, poor weather

at this time of year in northern B.C., it can be difficult for drivers to see pedestrians

on the road,” says John Dickinson, ICBC’s director of road safety. “Drivers need to keep a sharp eye out for others – especially at intersections, near transit stops

and on roads without sidewalks. Pedestrians need to do their part too – always make eye contact with drivers and never assume a driver has seen you.” Here are ICBC’s tips to help you stay safe this fall and winter: • Ice and snow can hit unexpectedly. Early in the season, make sure your tires are rated for the conditions you may be driving in and check your tire pressure regularly – pressure drops in cold weather and overinflated tires can reduce

gripping. • When heavy winter conditions arrive, consider alternatives to help you get to work safely – take transit, work from home or adjust your hours of work to avoid rush hour traffic. • Heavy rain can seriously reduce visibility and make road surfaces more difficult to stop on. Make sure your wipers are in good condition and increase your following distance to at least four seconds, so you have time to stop if you need to. • If you’re travelling to an area you’re not familiar with, it’s

important to check the road conditions for your entire route, so you can prepare your vehicle for the weather you may encounter. Many highways in B.C. require drivers to use winter tires or chains from Oct. 1 to April 30. Visit the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure’s website (th.gov.bc.ca) to see if they’re required for your route and learn how to properly use chains. Visit the speed relative to conditions campaign page on icbc. com for more information.
