◆ COVER STORY
Cook-off is one contest with a big goal BETTER TOGETHER: | Alberni Valley dietitian says benefits are many to families that spend time cooking and eating together.
The family that cooks together could win some money together with a winning cooking video. The BC-wide Hands-on Cook-off kicked off earlier this month with a powerful goal: to inspire kids to take the lead in the kitchen. Hélène Dufour, a registered dietitian and community nutritionist in Port Alberni, says the cookoff is a good way to get families to prepare meals together. “ I really support this contest; it goes along with our families eating together campaign we have in February.
“We really believe in promoting eating together, and cooking together fits in with this message,” she said. “We know kids gain many valuable benefits from cooking and eating together.” According to studies, cooking and eating together, as a family, is linked to better grades and academic performance in school; improved health and improved mental health, says Dufour. “Kids are better connected to their families if they eat together. They have a better understanding of their family values if they eat together.” The meal doesn’t have to be dinner, it

the TV is off and they turn off their phones.” The term “family” is flexible as well: a single parent with a child or a grandparent with a grandchild constitutes a family. “As long as it’s a meaningful adult with the child, they get the benefit,” she says. Studies have found
children who eat with their families are less likely to be bullied “which is interesting,” she says. “We think that comes with having conversation and connection and parents are going to be aware earlier.” For families that want some guidance on what to talk
about during a meal, the Better Together website (bettertogetherbc.ca) offers a learning link with downloadable conversation cards. “They’re random questions,” she says. “We have a set that was just done last month that’s for toddlers and preschoolers. Sometimes you don’t think about having conversations with the little ones. “It helps them build words and conversation and language.”
The contest is open to anyone in B.C. To enter, people need to film themselves making a favourite recipe. Each video must have two or more people cooking together and can’t be longer than three minutes. There are different categories, such as youth and multi-generational. Deadline to submit your cooking video is 12 p.m. on May 15. Dufour’s daughter entered a video a couple of years ago and won some money. Dufour said they rehearsed a bit before filming the video. “Now pretty much everyone has a cellphone they can use to video. You need to show you’re having fun in the video; that would be helpful.” For more information, please go online to bettertogetherbc.ca/ contest. editor@albernivalleynews.com

Abbeyfield celebrates retiring employee O
ORLANDO DELANO/SPECIAL TO THE NEWS
Betty Cartlidge, left, receives a certificate from Abbeyfield resident Bertha Levesque at Cartlidge’s farewell event.
Levesque, president of the Residents Society. Cartlidge, who was born and raised in Port Alberni, has been married for more than 46 years. She and her husband are the parents of three children and nine grandchildren. She lived in the Cherry Creek area until she
got married. Before Abbeyfield, she worked in different places doing various types of jobs, from waitressing and performing janitorial duties to working as a chamber maid, while looking after her family at the same time. “My connection to
Abbeyfield began in early 2000 through Jacci Garcia, manager of Echo Estates and Abbeyfield board member at the time, and whom I had gone to school with,” Cartlidge recalls. “At first, I worked with one of the residents and soon after I was interviewed for a job position in the newly opened home.” Her working experience in Abbeyfield began a few months after the arrival of the first residents to their new home, and three months after the official opening of the Abbeyfield Port Alberni by the local and provincial authorities. She was among the longest serving employees of this home. Throughout the
years Cartlidge became a popular employee, especially among the residents, who enjoyed her friendly personality and good disposition as well as her love of music. “She is a friendly and caring person,” says one of the residents. “Betty is the kind of person that will always greet you with a smile every time you see her in the hallways,” adds another. “I am sure that she
can sing for hours,” comments another resident. “I love music and I think that my interest and like for music comes from my grandfather, on my mother’s side. He was a natural musician,’ says Cartlidge. “I always remember that as a young girl I used to sing along at family parties and get-together functions, especially at summer picnics. “Once in Abbeyfield, one of the residents,
Mary Ella Newberry, who loved singing, invited me to be part of her Friday singalong session. And the House Mother at that time introduced me to Mr. Bob Hudson, the pianist of the event,” she says. After that, Betty became an important volunteer singer and leader at this weekly program. She also assisted in the production of the Abbeyfield songbooks and carols. Continued / A14

ne of the important changes that Abbeyfield experienced by the end of the year was the farewell to Betty Cartlidge, one of its regular employees. After 10 years working in this home, this popular staff member and a good friend of the residents, announced her retirement from her duties as a cook and house keeper. “I am retiring because of health reasons,” she explained. At an emotional and meaningful program, the Abbeyfield community got together for a farewell party to thank her for her dedicated work and friendship to all. “Betty is a wonderful lady and friendly to all of us”, said Bertha

A Brighter Note
A
nyone who reads my column every week is aware that our dog Charlie went missing a month ago. What people might not realize is that more than a few dogs in West Kelowna have vanished, and they’ve all been small to medium sized purebreds or purebred mixes. After viewing the six pets on the handouts circulated by the other owners and I, many people thought there was a criminal dog-ring in town, while others attributed the sudden disappearances to wildlife attacks. We fully admit that we don’t know what happened to ours. What we do know, however, is that there has been no evidence that would confirm the latter, and we’ve all looked high and low for it. We’ve also learned that dog flipping – the business of stealing dogs and selling them – is happening all
over, including right here in the Okanagan. Before Charlie went missing, the idea of my pets being nabbed had never crossed my mind. Wildlife and traffic were my big concerns when it came to their safety; never did I consider they might be dognapped. But after talking to almost every owner who’s lost a dog in the Okanagan recently and finding out just how many people suspect their pet was stolen, or know that they were, I started to investigate. One of the missing West Kelowna dogs from our handouts is Shylo, a Chihuahua

Pomeranian, whose owners live in Glenrosa, like I do. Three days before his mysterious disappearance an unknown middle-aged woman with short red hair had approached Shylo on their porch where he was sitting in the sun. She was holding a bowl of water and quickly fled when she discovered he was not alone. His family can’t help but wonder if she is the reason he vanished. “If there’d been coyotes or any animals, Shylo would have been barking like mad and jumping up at the door,” her owner, Chakara, said. “And there would have been pee, poop, blood or fur left behind.” But after looking all over their area and finding nothing, they started their search with posting ads, then going door to door and putting up flyers.

Families devastated by thought of dog theft From / A4
These flyers would end up getting torn down like many of ours were. Eight months later they still have no idea what happened to him. Other cases have been more obvious, with people actually seeing their pets being stolen, paying a reward to get them back, or tracking them down at drug dealers’ houses to rescue them. Sometimes dog theft happens for ransom, but there are several other reasons as well. Selling to people wanting to pay less for certain breeds who don’t care about the right paperwork or adequate background checks is a common one. Not having a clue what happened to our pets makes things more difficult because the search for a lost dog is very different from a stolen one. But thieves prefer we don’t know, which is why they’ll leave the gate of a fenced yard open so we think the pooch has merely gotten loose, or why they’ll lurk around waiting for opportunities to snatch a dog by itself. This past Sunday, some of the other owners and I participated in a large search party along with many supportive friends and strangers to look for our pets and inform the public about lost and stolen dogs. We wanted to encourage them to take notice of unfamiliar people and suspicious behaviour in their neighborhoods and to report anything questionable. We also urged them to keep their own pets safe by keeping them leashed, not leaving them unattended in front of a store or in an unlocked house, not leaving them alone in a car if possible, and installing locks on fenced yards. Bobbie, one of the
dogs on our flyers, gave us all hope when she arrived home the day before our search party. After surviving 14 days on the lam, the short-legged little
Dachshund came home on her own, skinnier and smelling like a horse among other things. Farms are an ideal spot for a frightened
lost dog to hide out, but so are many typical backyards. Please check your property to see if you’ve got an animal fugitive like Bobbie
in your midst, and if you do, don’t chase or scare them away. If they’re skittish, take a picture and call dog control or the pet’s owner as soon as
possible. And if you haven’t done it already, register, microchip and GPS your pets if you can. The cost is minimal
compared to the heartache. To see the missing West Kelowna dogs or contact Lori, please visit LoriWelbourne. com.

The Alberni Valley Hospice Society has been providing compassionate care to the community since 1982! You’ve probably heard of our residential hospice, Ty Watson House, or seen our sunflower mural outside our office on 3rd Avenue. We also offer free grief counseling (including support groups), complementary integrative health services, and life story recording, among other services to the bereaved, those in palliative care, and their loved ones. The support we receive from our amazing community is what allows us to continue to grow our programs and services and we’d like to take this opportunity to thank Port Alberni for helping us to do so. May is Hospice Month, and as such we have some events planned in the community!
