Three way partnership extends wood industry in Quesnel AUTUMN MacDONALD Observer Reporter An innovative partnership has secured a further five years of fiber. Tolko, Nazko First Nations and Pacific Bio Energy (PBEC’S) announced their partnership Friday with a progressive partnership for the Gold Pan’s timber supply area. The agreement provides an additional log supply for Tolko’s Questwood

sawmill, harvesting work for Nazko Logging and additional fiber for PBEC’s wood manufacturing plant in Prince George. The timber comes from PBEC’s mountain pine beetle salvage license in the Quesnel timber supply area. “This agreement provides our Questwood sawmill with additional supply for at least five years,” Tolko manager of external and stakeholder relations

Tom Hoffman said. “The agreement also allows Tolko to invest in a new biomass processing facility. We will be able to convert lowvalue mountain pine beetle-killed logs into pulp chips and biomass fibre for use at facilities in this area. “Tolko would like to thank both Minister Coralee Oakes and Mayor Mayor Sjostrom for their hard-work and

support to make this innovative partnership agreement a reality.” The agreement provides certainty to Nazko as well as their community works to mitigate the aftermath of the pine beetle. “Our logging company is the biggest employer in our community,” Nazko economic development CEO Gerry Powell said. “The mountain pine beetle has ravaged most of the pine forest in our tra-

ditional territory and we now have an opportunity to salvage the beetle-killed fibre, deliver logs to the Questwood mill for production and use the lowvalue wood in Tolko’s new biomass processing facility. “This agreement highlights the benefits when three different businesses work together to achieve a positive outcome.” PBEC vice-president Brad Bennett also spoke to the

partnership, highlighting the “cooperation and collaboration that others in the forest industry can learn from.” “We’re pleased this agreement sees continued involvement of the Nazko First Nation in the region’s forest industry and additional log supply to help keep the Queswood mill operating,” he said. “This agreement generates on-going economic benefits for Quesnel.”

New reporter on the block

y name is Whitney Griffiths and I am pleased to be joining the team at The Observer, working as the sports reporter. Along with sports I hope to also be covering community events throughout the year. I am excited to become actively involved in the events around town, learning all that the local community has to offer. I grew up in Quesnel, attending several schools in the surrounding area. I first attended Parkland elementary school. I then moved into town to attend Quesnel secondary school and finally moved to Correlieu secondary school, graduating from CSS in 2010. After graduation I moved to Kamloops to attend Thompson Rivers University (TRU). I completed four

Whitney Griffiths years of schooling at TRU. I spent my first two years in the Bachelor of Arts program and my final years enrolled in the Bachelor of Journalism program. After several years away it is very nice to be back home. I decided to pursue a career in journalism because of my passion for writing.

I hope this will be a fun and exciting way to combine my interest in the community, the people and events, as well as my interest in writing. Though I learned a lot during my time at TRU I believe that there is nothing better than experience. I have no doubt that working at The Observer will prove to be a valuable experience. I am excited to be working alongside the other staff at The Observer and with the people in the community to help better my writing and provide interesting articles for you to read. This is my first job as a journalist and I am happy to be working in an area that I know so well. Having spent several years living away from Quesnel I am very interested in relearning everything the

community has to offer. I know there is a very active sporting community in Quesnel and I hope to help represent that in an interesting and engaging way. With the help of my predecessor I hope to personally get in contact with all the sports organizations around to provide the best coverage possible. I enjoy talking to people in the community and hope to get a wide range of views and interesting story ideas from our diverse group readers to keep providing a great paper. I will gladly accept and even recommend feedback from the readers. The more communication the better my writing can be. Please contact me with story ideas, or general feedback any time at sports@ quesnelobserver.com.

For the Record Quesnel’s 2013 Volunteer Citizen of the Year is Liane Kimmie. We apologize for the incorrect spelling of her name on the front page of the paper announcing her tremendous achievement.

And the Winning Time is… Funded in part by the Corbett Family Fund, Quesnel Barrel Racers receive $1500 for a new scoreboard. A scoreboard is basic equipment used at most timed events. It will tie into the event timing system and display finish time in large numbers visible to the audience. The problem at most timed events is spectators sometimes cannot hear the announcer to hear the score and therefore are often unaware of contestant times and placements. This new scoreboard will solve the problem as every horse/rider will have their finish time displayed in a very visible manner. It will be utilized for years to come and make the barrel races desirable to spectators and contestants. Quesnel Barrel Racing has existed for many years as barrel racing and gymkhana are very popular sports in Quesnel. The club was formalized in 2010 by becoming incorporated under the Society act. This has allows them to secure donations within the community for prizes, events, and equipment needed to host events and clinics for all levels and ages of riders. The age of Quesnel Barrel Racers ranges from Pee Wee’s (4yrs) to Seniors (65+). They host races throughout the season, many with over 100 entries. These races are always put on with a huge volunteer effort from club members. The goal of the club is to encourage and support Barrel Racing, to provide opportunities for the community and surrounding towns to ride and have fun at local events.

Celebrating Cariboo Arts Our government is committed to build a stronger and more vibrant strong arts and culture scene in British Columbia. Since 2001, we have invested over half a billion dollars in the B.C. arts and culture sector. And this year alone, we are investing $60 million in arts and culture in every region of our province, which includes a record amount of $24 million in B.C. Arts grants. The B.C. Arts grants is a great initiative directly supporting our arts, artists and cultural organizations in communities large and small throughout B.C. Last week, we announced grants for two organizations that are helping further the diversity and the presence of the arts scene in the north Cariboo. The Quesnel and District Arts Council received a grant totaling $8,030 to fund operating activities, helping them grow the arts in Quesnel. The Island Mountain Arts Society in Wells also received funding of $20,000 for the ArtsWells Festival of All Things Art event coming this summer on August 1 – 4, 2014. Both of these organizations are doing great work to build on our arts scene, making our region more culturally diverse and vibrant to the benefit of everyone in our community. Without a doubt, arts and culture bring our communities together, and continue to build a stronger Cariboo. It is important to have a thriving arts and culture scene in our community as it celebrates our heritage, creating jobs supporting our economy and building a stronger social fabric in our region. Every arts and cultural institution in the north Cariboo helps increase our quality of life, allowing us to come together as a community to recognize the talents of our neighbours and friends. Join me in congratulating these two great organizations for receiving this funding and celebrate our local arts and culture. Coralee Oakes, MLA Cariboo North

Victoria youth custody centre to close RUNNING Shoes Check out our

TOM FLETCHER Black Press Vancouver Island’s youth custody facility is underutilized and will soon be closed, with sentenced young offenders transferred to facilities in Burnaby. Children and Family Development Minister Stephanie Cadieux announced the decision Monday. She said the Victoria facility averages 15 secure custody inmates in a 60-bed facility. Timing of the closure will be determined in discussions with the union for the 54 regular employees and 10 auxiliaries who staff the Victoria centre, Cadieux said. The three youth custody centres in Prince George, Burnaby and Victoria are “incredibly over-resourced,” Cadieux said, adding that there is ample room at the Burnaby facility to accommodate southern Vancouver Island youths. Young offenders from northern Vancouver Island may be held in Prince George.

Cadieux said centralizing facilities will save the province money to offset the $4.5 million reduction in federal funding B.C. received because of the lower number of youth inmates. It also makes it more practical to deliver inmate programs, she said. B.C. Government and Service Employees’ Union president Darryl Walker said the decision is an unpleasant surprise, after government assurances that it would remain open as other options are explored. “Our members were committed to working with the ministry to explore new uses for the centre that would address the government’s concerns around over-capacity,” Walker said. Youth facilities serve as remand centres for those awaiting court, as well as those sentenced for repeat or violent offences that rule out serving a sentence in the community. “This is a decision we’ve struggled with for some time,” Cadieux said. “Our youth custody

hanging with the times can be a good thing. But, the debate surrounding the B.C. Liberal government’s plans to amend the Agricultural Land Reserve indicates this change is meeting with some opposition. The ALR covers about 4.7 million hectares, or about three per cent of the provincial land base. Given the changes are targeted especially to lands in Zone 2, anything outside of the Lower Mainland, the Okanagan and Vancouver Island, then the regulations apply to much less than three per cent of B.C.’s land base. Bill Bennett, minister for core review, has offered up some explanations, but they seem too facile, and leave other questions unanswered. Why did the government not consult with farmers? Why is the government wanting to especially loosen the restrictions on how ALR land in Zone 2 can be used? Why is the government wanting a piece of such a small pie? Scientists from B.C.’s universities are against the changes for a variety of reasons. But why listen to them? Remember the cod fishery? Exactly. Between 1976, when the ALR was introduced, and 2011, the population of British Columbia jumped a whopping 84 per cent, to about 4.6 million from 2.5 million. Over that same time period the amount of land in the ALR remained essentially the same. Almost double the number of mouths to feed, but the same amount of land. Climate change is already lapping on our shores, exactly what that will do to food production around the world is unknown. Are we really ready to roll the dice on food security? Changing the rules to allow alternative uses on ALR land just doesn’t add up, unless we are missing a part of the equation. – Black Press

Inconvenient truth of pine beetle L

ast week’s column on Earth Day myths attracted a fair amount of criticism. One tireless member of the “Alberta tar sands killing the planet” crowd scolded me for daring to mention that 60 per cent of the oil pollution in the oceans around North America comes from natural seeps. That’s eight times more than all pipeline and tanker spills combined, and it’s been going on 24 hours a day for the last 10,000 years or so. This fact blows another hole in the carefully crafted narrative that only Canadian oil exports to Asia would destroy our delicate ecosystems. That narrative is why the daily Alaska supertankers along the B.C. coast are ignored, as is the barbaric shale oil rush in North Dakota that can be seen from space. U.S. oil barons are flaring off the vast volume of natural gas that comes up with the more valuable light crude, while the U.S. environment lobby obsesses over the Keystone XL pipeline. Here’s another one that may upset people indoctrinated by our

B.C. Views school system, media and our supposedly green B.C. Liberal government. B.C.’s recent pine beetle epidemic was caused by human carbon emissions, right? Everybody knows that. Gordon Campbell hammered the point home in speeches for years. In 2012 I participated in a B.C. forests ministry tour of facilities where hardy seedlings are grown for reforestation. Test plantings were also underway to see if the range of southern tree species is shifting northward due to climate change. During the bus ride, I asked the province’s top forest scientists if Campbell was right. The answer? We don’t have enough evidence to conclude that. As for shifting tree habitat, those decades-long experiments

Enbridge pipeline route, and experienced a relatively balmy -30 C in the daytime. So when I hear people talk about the end of cold winters in northern B.C. because of global warming, it’s difficult to square with personal experience. I can hear the rebuttals already. It takes long periods of extreme cold to kill the pine beetle. How long? Longer than those ones, of course. Similarly flexible theories are being advanced to explain the 17-year “pause” in Earth’s average surface temperature rise, the growing Antarctic ice sheet, and this past winter’s “polar vortex.” If anyone has substantial evidence that CO2 from human activity was the trigger mechanism for the latest beetle outbreak in B.C., I’d like to see it. But please, spare me the affirmations of quasireligious faith that often pass for climate change arguments today. Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press.

are continuing. The scientists confirmed what I already knew, which is that the most recent bark beetle epidemic is the latest of many. It’s the largest “on record,” but the record goes back less than a century. In 2008 I interviewed Lorne Swanell on the occasion of his 100th birthday. A graduate of UBC’s school of forest engineering, Swanell began his career with the forests ministry in 1930. After a year as a ranger, he was assigned to the Kamloops region to help deal with a pine beetle epidemic. Conventional wisdom on the latest outbreak holds that it spread so far because of a lack of cold winters, attributed to human carbon emissions. I grew up in northern B.C., and my last two visits to the Peace country were both in January. In 2004 I recall changing planes on the tarmac of Prince George airport, moving briskly in the daytime temperature near -40 C. That night, and subsequent nights, the mercury dropped to -50 C. In January 2013 I returned for some discussions on the

Alternate option Editor: I am presenting an alternative plan because I find that my proposal unites the various user groups of the city. Having a unified community facility combines the expenses of maintaining the existing structures which allows us to do more with the limited amount We combine all of money that we do have. We save by having the three structures walls of the east side of with a lobby the new arena to be the curling rink and the west that can be wall of the new arena to designed to be arena #2. Merely adding the extra make it look square footage to the like a structure existing ice surface of arena #1 to make it an that is new. NHL size saves a lot of money there too. Extra time and materials were used when we redid the ice surface, so to redo it seems wasteful. At the end of this proposed project, the only thing remaining of the old arena will be the ice surface. What we will have is: 1,000 seats on each side; a lounge on the front end, capable of seating 500 people; 800 new seats for the arena #2; 250 news bench seats for the curling rink. What we do save will off-set some of the expenses of demolishing the existing arena. We combine all three structures with a lobby that can be designed to make it look like a structure that is new. All this does not involve borrowing money and keeps the affordability well within our means, at around the 9.9 million that we have. This type of facility allows us to get maximum use for the cost incurred in a conservative, attainable manner. Another alternative, Plan B, would be to increase the recreation portion of our taxes by 60/100M, which allows us to put 2.5 million each year into potential sites; the arena first, the rec centre next, and the surrounding regional areas to follow. The plan would be the same as Plan A but would have a gym for special interest groups; a banquet/meeting room; a convention hall; a walking track; a grand-stand at the east end of the complex, facing Labourdais Park; and a parkade; all for around 22 million, without borrowing. This is achieved by adding another storey and dividing it into large rooms; one room is extended to hang over the small hillside beside the curling rink, which creates a grand stand for events in the part; the benches from the existing arena are re-utilized here. Then the parkade is built to accommodate the potential 5,500 people that are visiting this area. Ernest Gamache Quesnel

Carson kids raise money for Children’s Hospital Jan West’s Grade 4/5 Carson elementary school class spent their lunchtime on April 23 selling caramel ice-cream sundaes to fellow students to raise money for B.C. Children’s Hospital epilepsy work. Their inspiration was two Carson parents who are cycling to Whistler in early July to raise money for this cause. The cyclists’ goal is to raise $10,000. The students efforts raised $156. They know that every dollar counts in this worthy cause. Contributed photo

Obituary Tribute

James A. Trueman

The original 1993 chorus for deSouza’s song. He’s hoping some of those same voices will help out again on May 4 to record the new chorus. Contributed photo

January 21, 1931 ~ April 18, 2014

Calling all voices

The past meets the present for the future ANNIE GALLANT Observer Reporter When Eddie deSouza discovered a new Sing Me a Song program, from the Lieutenant Governor of B.C., soliciting original music for the lead up to Canada’s 150th birthday celebrations in 2017, he knew just the right piece to rework to fit the criteria. But he needs a little help from the musical community in Quesnel. DeSouza pulled from his popular 1993 song dedicated to Canada Day and the Alexander Mackenzie bicentennial voyager festival that year. Finding the chorus still

worked very well, the songwriter/musician set about writing three new versus to be recorded by three very different local musicians. With very little time but a ton of passion, deSouza has lined up Quesnel born and raised, John Goodwin to sing the first verse, deSouza, himself an immigrant to Canada, sings the second verse and Nikki Howe, a young Canadian with big musical dreams, sings the third verse. However, its the chorus deSouza is looking for help with. In 1993 a male choir, made up of the who’s who in the local music scene of the time and the 1993

Correlieu choir students, sang the chorus but with such a short time to get this submission ready for competition, deSouza is taking all who show up at Begbies May 4 for the chorus. From 4 – 8 p.m. deSouza is hosting an open mic and it’s after that event finishes, he will be recording the voices of those who wish to take part in his musical exercise. The deadline for submissions to the Sing Me A Song program is May 7 and each entry will be reviewed by a panel of musicians from around the province. An award of $1,000 will be

He has been the entertainment coordinator for the past four years. Regardless of whether it’s a school or community choir or other amateur musical group, all submissions must have a minimum of 15 voices, be original in content, no longer than five minutes in length and be based on Canada 150 themes.

Obituary Tribute

Robert James Hildreth June 20, 1948 ~ April 4, 2014

Robert James Hildreth, 65 of Quesnel, BC passed away on April 4, 2014 of congestive heart failure. Jim was born on June 20, 1948 in Castor, Alberta to Ethel and Bob Hildreth. The second eldest of four children, Jim spent his early childhood in Fernie, BC. In September 1957, the Hildreth family made Quesnel their permanent residence. Jim loved the Cariboo and being in the great outdoors. An avid fisherman, hunter and landscape photographer, Jim loved to go out driving in his pickup truck with his dog Susie riding shotgun. A cowboy at heart, Jim was known for his frequent and brief visits, his departures often as smooth and abrupt as his arrivals. When we close our eyes and remember, most of us will see him driving up the road in his pickup with a friendly wave, an open smile from beneath his cowboy hat and his trusty Susie by his side. Jim was a millworker for many years until his retirement.

Jim was predeceased by his father, Robert Roy (Bob) Hildreth, his sister, Wendy Forget, and his nephew, Esca Forget. Jim’s spirit will always be alive in the memories of his mother, Ethel Hildreth Paynton, daughter, Vanessa Hildreth (Lloyd), brother, Terry Hildreth (Debbie), sister, Loni Clark (Larry), former wife and friend, Koreen Hildreth (Johnny), brother in law, Brian Forget, mother in-law, Joan Huxley and many other family members and friends. A celebration of life will be held at 1pm on Friday, May 2nd at Clayton’s Funeral Home with a tea to follow from 2-4 pm at the Golden Centre (401 front street).

2014 marks the 26th year of operation for the market and the success of it all is a real tribute to the vision and effort of the founders of the Quesnel Farmers’ Market.

After a winter that seemed longer than usual, and a spring that has been slow in coming, Quesnel farmers have been scrambling to prepare for the first farmers’ market of 2014. And 2014 promises to be a good year for the Farmers’ Market. Several of the farmer/ vendors have expanded their operations to provide more fresh produce, meat, eggs and honey each week at the market. There will also be new vendors this year: most notably, Kate Sulis and Tim Hathaway from Wells are building a portable, woodfired bread oven, which will be a real feature at the Market every Saturday.

An explosive start Crossfire burn bandits in home opener JONAS GAGNON Observer Reporter

The (not quite) summer sun

A tennis player takes advantage of the afternoon’s shining sun to get in a match of tennis before the clouds and the hail took over Saturday evening. The tennis courts and baseball diamonds in West Faser Timber Park have come alive as the weather has made a turn for the better in the last month. Though the tennis courts were busy, detritus from a long winter still litter the courts, making footing at times treacherous.

Jonas Gagnon photo

The Crossfire started their season off with a bang last Thursday, blazing to a 20-5 win over the BX Pub Bandits – a first for the team. "We never beat them before and we definitely made up for it," president of the Quesnel Lacrosse Association Lisa Scott said. "I was just mesmerized. The Crossfire just played fantastic." The win represents a big jump for the team – a coming of age in their third year. "It was surprising – very, very surprising how much bigger, faster and better we are this year," acting coach Pat Gibbs said. Gibbs stood in for Hugh Whalen, who was switched to night shifts, which created a large gap on the Crossfire's bench. The coaching situation, for now, is up in the air, with Gibbs standing in as needed. Gibbs credited the jump to the young players, including Alek Gibbs who won the Intermediate A provincials with the Maple Ridge Burrards last year, whose growth helped spur the team on to the win. "Those kids are men now," Gibbs said. Before the game, both Gibbses were worried about the contest, as the Bandits had their number in the past. But all those worries were put to rest within the first two minutes of the game as the Crossfire went up two-nothing. The young guns stepped up for Quesnel, with Alek Gibbs netting three goals in the first, Devin Whalen and Brody Lawlor each scoring twice and Levi Robertson getting a single. Young goaltender Thomas Riestad kept the Bandits to two goals in the first twenty minutes, keeping the Crossfire in an 8-2 lead. The Crossfire didn't let up in

the second, either, netting six more goals over the course of the period. Gibbs added to his tally with two more goals, which was matched by Robertson. Ryan Murray and Whalen each got onea-piece to round out the scoring by the Crossfire. Riestad once again pulled out some big stops to keep the Bandits from making any headway, capping their goals at three, to put the Crossfire up 14-5 after 40 minutes. In the third, Riestad skunked every effort by the Bandits, while the offence kept Quesnel moving forward. Whalen scored twice, to tie with Gibbs for the top scorer of the game. Lawlor also took two points. Garth Kennedy scored his first of the season along with Bryston Waffle, to push the team to 20. Both Pat Gibbs and Scott were more than happy with the team's performance and are looking forward to a successful year for Lacrosse in Quesnel. Pat Gibbs is coaching the intermediate Wildfire this year and the success of many of the Intermediate Wildfire players stepping up to play with the Crossfire bodes well for the rest of the season, according to Pat Gibbs. The Crossfire will play their home opener this Thursday at 8 p.m. at the Twin Arenas against the Stylers. And, if it's anything like their season opener, it should be a stunning game.

So long and thanks for all the fish

adies and gentlemen of Quesnel I bid you adieu. It’s been two years of hockey, baseball, lacrosse, football and hockey... I’ve seen two seasons of them all and met some good people along the way – people who are passionate about their sport, people who have made my job

easier, and players who make this community what it is. To all those people I am thankful. You eased the way when there was too much going on; you returned calls so I had the information I needed (even when I was scrambling at the last minute) and you contacted me days, or even

weeks, ahead of time to make sure I knew it was happening and would be there. Without people like you this section would be tiny and slapdash – thanks again. I’ve learned a lot from my time here – a lot about sports and a lot about writing. The Observer was a training

ground for me, allowing me to experiment, take on all kinds of stories and find my work flow. So to all the great people here at the Observer – thanks. Now I will boldly go where many writers have gone before: freelancing, otherwise known as unemployment or trying to squeeze water from stone.

A quixotic quest? Probably, but it should be fun or at least some kind of adventure. And to my replacement, I wish her interesting stories, sources full of pertinent information and calls returned in a timely manner. – Jonas Gagnon, ghost of sports writer past

Sports

Fast as lightning in Smithers On April 12, the Smithers Ski and Snowboard Club hosted the North Zone finals for Giant Slalom ski racing. The race was attended by clubs from Whitehorse, Prince George, Smithers and Quesnel. The Lightning Creek Ski Club sent 5 athletes: Emma Klapatiuk (U12), Grace Klapatiuk (U14), Alefa Sakakibara (U14), Hannah Doucette (U14) and Hailey Doucette (U16). In the first race, on scarily icy conditions Alefa Sakakibara took third place in the U14 category. In the second race, Emma Klapatiuk took third place in the U12 category. In the world of alpine skiing, nationally carded athletes start out with 999 points. Every race that they attend points are shed, which can then be charted against every athlete in the country. Hailey Doucette took home a beautiful trophy for Most Improved in the women’s division, which means that she saw a huge drop across all her points races. Across the entire North Zone, Hailey took second place, Emma took third place and her sister Grace also took third place for the season. On April 13, RAYZ Boardshop in Smithers co-hosted a Ski and Snowboard-X race, which saw 130 participants from the age of 5 to adult. The same five athletes participated in the race, along

Quesnel

with Noah Woolends (U10), Owen Larsen (U10) and Lauren Larsen (U8). It was a very exciting race, featuring four racers going headto-head down a tight ski cross course. Grace and Noah both received third place medals in their respective age categories. The Lightning Creek Ski Club has had an amazing season. The club currently has nine volunteer coaches instructing more than 60 kids in alpine racing, most of them through the Nancy Greene Ski Program. We attended races in Sun Peaks, Purden and Tabor and had at least one child on the podium at every event. Thanks to grants from Quesnel Community Foundation, Rotary and a legacy fund, we will be constructing an equipment shed at Troll Resort this summer and have plans to keep investing in our little club. The support at Troll has been outstanding and we are constantly reminded of our good fortune to have Hildur and Len as owners, particularly when we travel to other ski resorts. We are now looking forward to a summer of dryland training in preparation for the 2014/15 season! If you are interested in having your child join a fun and competitive team, please contact Lightning Creek Ski Club at lcsctroll@gmail.com. – Contributed by Sarah Shipley

CAPSULE COMMENTS

With Kim B.Sc. (Pharm) Generic medications are biologically identical to their brand-name counterparts but they may differ in appearance at times. Even though the colour or size of the generic is different, it is designed to give the same results as the brand name drug. We use many generics in Canada today. We will let you know when there is a change in brand. Let us know if you experience a change in effect. As summer approaches, many people look at diets to lose weight. Some of these diets concentrate on certain foods in greater abundance than one would eat normally. Let your doctor and pharmacist know you are trying one of these diets, especially if you are taking drugs like the “blood thinner” warfarin. Some foods can interfere with warfarin’s action and may alter regular blood tests. For many people, eating liver isn’t high on their preferred food list. However, prior to 1948, people diagnosed with pernicious anemia were prescribed a diet of raw liver. In that year, vitamin B-12 was first discovered as a chemical entity and a supplement was developed to treat the anemia. Much easier to take! The pituitary gland is the size of a pea but it is a powerhouse of activity. Located mid-brain behind the bridge of the nose, it produces hormones that affect many body systems as well as stimulating other glands to produce hormones. Our pharmacists are busy people but answering your questions about medication is one of our main jobs. We are never too busy for that.

Tips for healthy gardening habits

eveloping a love of gardening can be a great way to plant the seed for a healthier lifestyle. The many benefits of a green thumb include consistent exercise, reduced stress and better mental health. In fact, a recent study conducted in Sweden found regular gardening can cut the risk of a heart attack and stroke and prolong life by as much as 30 per cent among a 60-plus age group. For those with chronic health conditions, gardening

can be an ideal low-impact exercise done at your own pace. But, before you pull on your work gloves, keep the following tips in mind: • Target the right tools Chose lightweight tools that require less energy to maneuver and get rakes or hoes with extra-long, extendable handles to avoid excessive strain. Also, invest in a small stool or bench to cut down on the need for constant bending and kneeling. •Watch the weather

If you suffer from lung diseases like chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), which includes emphysema and chronic bronchitis, watch the weather report and avoid working outside when pollen and pollutant levels are high – these can trigger a serious lung attack. Watch for signs of a lung attack, like increased coughing, shortness of breath, wheezing, or unusual changes in phlegm. See your physician if you notice

worsening symptoms and also ask if your medication dosages need an adjustment. •Head out of the heat Avoid gardening during the peak hours of 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., when the sun is at its strongest and humidity at its highest. If you must be out during that period, plan to work in the shade and drink plenty of fluids. Also, wear a sunscreen with a minimum SPF of 30 that protects against both UVB and UVA rays. – newscanada

Don’t let back pain force you out of the garden Winter takes a toll on your garden, but spring takes a toll on the gardener. Gardening season and back pain often go hand in hand, but positioning your body correctly reduces the strain on muscles and joints. Use these tips to enjoy your garden to the fullest throughout the season: • Alternate your tasks. Switch between heavy chores such as digging and lighter,

less physically demanding tasks such as planting. • Do the “scissors” when you rake. Stand with one leg forward and one leg back when you rake. Switch legs and hands every few minutes. • Kneel to plant and weed. Constant bending can put strain on your back, neck, leg muscles and joints, so kneeling is recommended. Use kneepads or a kneeling mat (with

handles) to minimize the amount of bending required and to make kneeling more comfortable. Keep your back straight. • Change positions frequently. Make a point of changing position every 10 – 15 minutes. Move from kneeling to standing, from planting to digging. • Pace Yourself. A minimum of three brief breaks each hour is recommended.
