CCRHD board approves Dunrovin funding

The CCRHD Board approved total funding in the amount of $128,702, representing 40 per cent of the total cost of the Dunrovin Energy Conservation Measures project. The necessary capital expenditure bylaw will be brought forward to the Board at its August 21, 2015 meeting for three readings and adoption.

Interior Health Peter Du Toit, Acute Health Service Director for Interior Health, provided an update regarding the Cariboo Memorial Hospital (CMH) redevelopment project, mental health services, and physician recruitment. Du Toit reported that the concept plan for the CMH redevelopment plan has been submitted to the Ministry of Health. Highlights of the concept plan include a new wing; improvements to Emergency Room, Ambulatory Care, Inpatient Care, and Pharmacy Services; and improved parking. Further information concerning the redevelopment plan can be viewed online, along with other Interior Health news at interiorhealth. ca.

Recruitment The Cariboo Chilcotin Regional Hospital District (CCRHD) Board received a news release from Northern Health, announcing an expansion in Specialist services in the Quesnel. Over the last two years the community has recruited a psychiatrist and a replacement ear, nose, and throat specialist.

Quesnel Cariboo Observer

Quesnel is also home to internal medicine and surgical services, with a second internist slated to arrive in August of 2015. Further information about Northern Health is available online at northernhealth.ca.

Plans for roads Todd Hubner, representing the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure, spoke to the Board regarding the Ministry’s long-term plan for roads in the Cariboo region affected by landslide or flooding issues. Further information about some of the projects within the region and more can be found on their website at gov.bc.ca/tran.

Support The Cariboo Regional District Board will be providing a letter to Spinal Cord Injury BC to support their application for financial support from several different sources for “Access North” 2024 projects. “Access North” 24 is an initiative which will act as an umbrella for a number of projects that will look at access and inclusion for people with disabilities in Northern BC; some of these initiatives include accessible outdoor recreation spaces, passenger train accessibility, and a video production that will celebrate accessible parks and tourism opportunities throughout Northern BC and showcase the area.

Accessibility The Cariboo Regional District’s Grant Writer will be exploring opportunities for grant funding to help improve

accessibility at the Cariboo Memorial Complex.

Community Works The Cariboo Regional District authorized up to $180,000 of Community Works Funds for capital improvements to the 103 Mile Water System, should a local service be established. Earlier this year, the Board resolved to use up to $3,000 of Rural Feasibility Funds to conduct a study after receiving a request from Saunders Enterprises Ltd., to take over the 103 Mile Water Utility.

NDIT The CRD Board of Directors resolved to support three funding applications to the Northern Development Initiative Trust (NDIT) Regional Development Funding program. The first project was a request from Miocene Community Club. If approved, a total of $20,766 will be used for the installation of new exterior siding, an energy efficient furnace, new energy efficient windows and a new well system for the Miocene Community Hall. Two projects from the Horsefly Community Club also received support. If approved, a total of $30,000 will be used to purchase and install new exterior insulation, siding, and fascia boards for the Horsefly Community Hall; and a total of $15,000 will be used to install new insulating wrap to the exterior of the Horsefly Community Hall.

CRD endorses resolutions from A2 The Cariboo Regional District Board resolved to forward two resolutions to the 2015 Union of BC Municipalities convention. The first resolution is to lobby the Ministry of Advanced Education and the BC Treasury Board for the establishment of a Physiotherapy Program at the University of Northern BC to provide for 20 more physiotherapy academic seats. The second resolution is to call upon the Province to deliver the full allowable cut under the BC Timber Sales program, complete a science-based inventory of the available timber supply, and move assertively to increase operating certainty on the working forest land base.

Discontinuation The Cariboo Regional District will discontinue the sub-regional Budget Consultation meetings which have traditionally been held in January each year.

The BC Wildfire Service has made progress on both fires on note in the Cariboo Fire Centre. The Bald Mountain wildfire is now 100 per cent contained and the Puntzi Lake wildfire is 67 per cent contained. Crews have established guard and laid hose around 100 per cent of the Bald Mountain fire, which was mapped at 655 hectares in size. Monday, crews were patrolling the fire and suppressing any remaining hot spots. There are 24 BC Wildfire Service firefighters currently assigned to this incident. On the Puntzi Lake fire, dozer guards have been established around the majority of the fire’s perimeter and direct attack efforts from the crews have successfully increased the

containment of the fire. Crews continue to work towards full containment through direct attack, burnout operations, mop up activities and patrols of quieter areas. The fire size is now estimated at 8,142 hectares due to the addition of burn-out operation areas. The fire behaviour over the weekend was not as aggressive as expected due to lighter winds than originally forecast. The majority of the fire activity remained within the control lines; however, there was one escape that grew to five hectares with moderately vigorous fire behaviour. Crews and heavy equipment contained the escape with support from helicopters and amphibious airtankers. Aggressive fire behaviour is anticipated again Tuesday with

CAPSULE COMMENTS With Jessica Joly B.Sc. (Pharm)

Vaccines are not just for kids. Tetanus/ diphtheria vaccine should be given every ten years. If you are a senior, you should have a pneumococcal vaccine. It is also recommended that those over the age of 60 should have a shingles vaccine shot whether they have had chickenpox as a child or not. This is a one-time vaccination and is effective in preventing the pain and discomfort that shingles can bring. We’ve heard about the positive health benefits that come from eating an ounce or two of hazelnuts, almonds or cashews daily. Peanuts are technically not a nut but a legume. But there are benefits from eating them daily as well. Heart attack and stroke risks may be reduced by eating nuts or peanuts daily. Have a cough that just won’t go away? Does your chest hurt when you breath deeply? Do you often wheeze or are short of breath? Do you ever cough up phlegm with blood in it? You may not have lung cancer but it’s worthwhile having it checked. Lung cancer has no early warning signs in its early stages but as with most diseases, early detection increases the chances of better treatment. The first actual “vitamin pill” was first marketed in 1936. It contain liver and iron supplements. Today, there are thousands of different vitamin products available.

VEHICLE AUCTION The phrase Once in a Blue Moon refers to something that occurs rarely. SkyFest 2015 will experience a blue moon (second full moon in a calendar month) on July 31, the exact date of the Twilight Show. Unbelievable! Now you may ask, “what is a twilight show?” “This is an airshow that utilizes pyrotechnics during the twilight hours of the evening. These fireworks, such as the afterburners on the CF-18 military jet, are particularly spectacular,” said Airshow organizer

Barb van Halderen. “The Twilight Show is comprised of selected performers who discharge pyro from their wings in a exciting display along with their amazing aerobatic performance.” Quesnel’s Twilight Show features Super Dave Mathieson, Manfred Radius with his pyro-emitting sail plane, the Canadian Armed Forces CF-18 with its glowing afterburners

and the military Skyhawks Parachute team as well as the Flashfire jet truck. Gates open at 7 p.m. and show starts at 8 p.m. – 10 p.m. Entrance is by the airport road and purchasing your tickets online at quesnelskyfest.ca, at $20 each, is highly recommended to ensure your admission to this very special show. Some tickets will be available at the gate. “Building on the extreme success of SkyFest 2013 – this year’s show, including the new Twilight Show is experiencing an amazing buzz,” van Halderen added.

Economic growth means raises for unions TOM FLETCHER Black Press The B.C. government exceeded its financial targets for the last fiscal year, and the economy grew enough that unions that signed on to the government’s growth sharing formula will likely see a small pay increase in 2016. Finance Minister Mike de Jong presented the province’s audited public accounts Wednesday, with a surplus of $1.68 billion, almost 10 times the size it was forecast to be. That was due mainly to higher personal, corporate and sales tax revenue in the later part of the fiscal year that ended in March. Gross domestic product growth came in at 2.6 per cent for the year, ahead of the finance ministry’s economic forecast council figure of 2.3 per cent. Public service union contracts signed last year included a formula to distribute half of any gain above that independent forecast, translating to a 0.15 per cent additional raise on top of negotiated increases.

rezoning/Ocp amendment – 2241 cedar avenue 7:00 p.m., July 28, 2015 at Quesnel and District Senior’s centre Ocp amendment

Finance Minister Mike de Jong shows chart of B.C. operating deficits and surpluses in recent years.

Don Craig/B.C. government

De Jong said the GDP numbers must still be finalized by Statistics Canada, and the adjustment to pay levels for employees in the health, education and other public services who signed on will be made in 2016. De Jong said he is tracking the steeply rising cost of the current forest fire season, and there is a contingency fund to cover whatever is needed. That uncertainty and international instabili-

ty in Asia and Europe mean the government will not assume higher revenues will continue this year, he said. Sales tax revenue exceeded budget forecasts by $322 million, and corporate tax revenue was up $208 million. Property transfer tax was up $128 million, and all other taxes brought in $254 million more than forecast. Natural resource revenue decreased by $18 million from

Holger Bauer Memorial Fund In 2008, one year following his death, Holger Bauer’s friends and family established a donor advised fund within QCF to boost forest safety education. The terms of the Holger Bauer Forest Safety Memorial Fund were such that the earnings of the fund were to be used in the promotion of safety in the forest industry. In 2015 the Holger Bauer Committee requested a broadening of the terms of reference of the fund and while still remaining committed to the focus on promoting forest safety within the industry, earnings of the fund would be directed towards supporting and encouraging those broader interests that were so important to Holger, specifically forest safety, outdoor recreation, forest stewardship and conservation. The monies will be distributed in the form of a grant, starting in 2016. Holger died in a logging accident in 2007 and left behind many friends. He is remembered as an initiator with infectious energy who encouraged others to set personal challenges and in the process to discover their own abilities. The vision of the original fund will be carried forward in the years to come with the purpose of “enriching our own lives by making just some of Holger’s qualities our own, and in turn make the lives of those around us that much better.” For more information on how to establish a fund within the Quesnel Community Foundation, email qcf@shaw.ca or contact Dan Canuel at 250-992-6392.

Kick in the butt In what is shaping up to be one of the most devastating wildfire seasons in the province’s history smokers are being singled out as the cause of a number of recent blazes. Last week near Surrey careless smoking was blamed for as many as 60 grass and mulch fires. It was the suspected cause of a grass fire near Kelowna, as well as one on Burnaby Mountain, and has resulted in several fires recently in West Vancouver. Forestry Minister Steve Thompson was actually asked by media if he is considering an outright smoking ban in vehicles as a way of reducing fire danger. Reasonably, the answer to that was basically a “no.” However, the ministry is currently reviewing fines under the Wildfire Act and hopefully that will result in greater penalties. Consider that in 2014 the cost of fighting fires in BC was $297.9 million. Forty-four percent of those fires were caused by humans and some of those were indeed caused by smoking. That’s an expensive habit for any province. Yet in B.C., the fine for flicking a lit cigarette out a car window is $173. The only way it can be higher is if the cigarette is proved to cause a fire, and the perpetrator can be assigned part or all of the firefighting and associated costs. By way of comparison, the same flick in Calgary costs a smoker $1,000. In Western Australia – a place that knows a thing or two about wildfires – penalties for careless smoking can reach fines of $25,000 and/or 12 months in jail. Cigarette butt fines in B.C. are out of step with related charges, for example contravening a fire ban, which can net a minimum ticket of $345 and if prosecuted in court could result in a maximum fine of $100,000 plus jail time. While B.C. residents might be considered the choir, the province needs to preach to the congregation of thousands of visitors who drive its highways every summer. Media campaigns, advertising and more highway signage promoting the dangers of careless smoking would have a cost attached, but surely in the long run would result in saving money, property and potentially lives. – BP

Nestlé protest doesn’t hold water H

ave you noticed the latest degradation of standards on TV news? In addition to sensational depictions of crime, accidents and celebrities, the lineup now incorporates any nonsense that is momentarily “viral” on the Internet. So it was with an online petition singling out Swiss food corporation Nestlé, which operates a water bottling plant near Hope. It’s the largest in B.C., one of many that bottle the province’s water and sell it back to a gullible public. This petition is courtesy of SumOfUs, one of those selfappointed environmental watchdogs that seem to pop up like mushrooms overnight. “Fighting for people over profits,” they claim, pitching for donations. The story has what U.S. comedian Stephen Colbert calls “truthiness.” That’s when something is false, but it “feels” true. “Nestlé is about to suck B.C. dry – for $2.25 per million litres to be exact,” says the SumOfUs headline. Using her keen sense of what’s superficially popular,

Tom Fletcher

B.C. Views Premier Christy Clark instantly called for a review of these low rates for selling the people’s water. It then fell to Environment Minister Mary Polak to explain what’s really going on. “People keep saying there’s a deal with Nestlé,” Polak told reporters. “There isn’t. They pay the same as any other industrial user, in fact the highest industrial rate, and it goes for anything from hydraulic fracturing to bottled water, those involved in mining for example, any of those heavy industrial uses.” And why is that rate so low? It’s because the province takes great pains not to “sell” water, which would make it a commodity under trade agreements, like oil or minerals. That would surrender provincial

taxes) would there be more water for the rest of us?” he writes. “Absolutely not. Kawkawa Lake drains its excess water into the Fraser River, which drains into the Strait of Georgia. Neither the Fraser River at Hope nor the Strait of Georgia is particularly short of water, even in the driest of years.” Clark made one useful contribution, when asked about this urgent non-issue by those seeking to further sensationalize the current drought and forest fires. She correctly noted that most B.C. residents have access to the best tap water in the world, and have no need for bottled water. Nestlé, Perrier, Coke, Pepsi and other companies have done a fantastic job of convincing people that their drinking water has to be delivered in bottles from some mythical pure source. Here’s a tip, Nestlé critics: Fill a jug with water and stick it in the fridge. Fight the corporations. Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press.

control, and allow the U.S. to press for equal access to Canadian water. “You’re buying the right to use the water,” Polak said. “I know it sounds crazy to the public, but we call it a rental – a water rental. There’s a reason we use that language, because we are very careful to avoid any suggestion that by paying this amount, you therefore own that water. “That reserves for us the right at any time, for a compelling public need, to say stop. It doesn’t matter if you have a licence.” As for the brazenly false claim that Nestlé is sucking B.C. dry, I’m indebted to a real environmental professional named Blair King for explaining this. (His blog, achemistinlangley. blogspot.ca, offers useful technical explanations of issues in the news, many of which contradict so-called environmentalists.) King notes that the bottling plant uses less than one per cent of the flow through Kawkawa Lake: “If Nestlé stopped operating (and put its 75 employees out of work and stopped paying municipal

What is British Columbia afraid of? Editor: It’s no secret that B.C. is one of the most beautiful regions in all of Canada. However, the scenery, comes a high cost of living for B.C. citizens. While these high living costs can mean first-rate living standards for many British Columbians, they do not bode well for the many at-risk children and youth of B.C.. According to the First Call B.C. Child and Youth Advocacy Coalition, 18.6 percent of children in B.C. live in poverty (First Call B.C., 2014). How can this possibly be the accepted reality in a developed country such as Canada? In my mind, the best way for the B.C. government to spring B.C. kids out of poverty is to raise their parents/ guardians out of poverty. The most effective way to do this is by increasing

Letters to the Editor

the minimum wage. Why does the minimum wage need to be increased? According to livingwageforfamilies. ca, in B.C. in 2015, the earnings of a single parent caring for one child, working full-time over a full year, at $10.25 minimum wage, total $8000 dollars below the poverty line annually (Living Wage for Families, 2015). Due to this reality, many minimum wage earners in B.C. are forced to make difficult choices between things such as paying rent, heating the house, or feeding the children. No child should go to school hungry because his or her parents cannot afford to feed him. My mother, Jodie Haberstock, has taught at W.L. Seaton Secondary for the past four months and has witnessed the

breakfast program that is being provided to teens who come to school without having had a breakfast. She pointed out that similar lunch programs are put on by the nearby Faith Baptist Church to provide students with a mid-day meal opportunity as well (Haberstock, 2015). These are just two of many similar programs being operated around B.C. that work to provide students with food that they might not otherwise receive due to the financial status of their families. While these are honourable programs, they highlight an obvious poverty issue that the B.C. government needs to be addressing. First Call B.C. Child and Youth Advocacy Coalition supports the idea that a $15 dollar per hour minimum wage would be

necessary to spring B.C.’s at-risk families and youth out of poverty (First Call B.C., 2015). By the current numbers, about 20 per cent of the B.C. population is under the age of 19 (Wikipedia, 2014) and 18.6 per cent of these children are living in poverty (First Call B.C., 2015). Of B.C.’s total population, a staggering four per cent is made up of children and teens who are living in poverty! Increasing the minimum wage for these at-risk teens and their parents or guardians would bring about the change required to lift many B.C. kids out of poverty. In 2014, the president of the B.C. Federation of Labour said that, “$13 represents the poverty line and we believe that no government should tolerate a wage in British Columbia that, when

you go to work full-time, you’re not at the poverty line” (CTV News, 2015). While increases in minimum wage are often feared because they tend to bring about a rise of prices in the market (inflation), this is not always the case. Inflation, in reality, can be caused by any increase in production cost. While an increase in minimum wage would constitute this, it is only one of many factors that could have the same effect. These factors range from the law of supply and demand to governmental tax changes. While these changes do cause small degrees of inflation, they happen regularly without any astronomical effect on the consumer. Raising minimum wage would likely have a similarly small effect (Dollars and

Sense, 2015). So, what is B.C. afraid of? As it stands right now, the B.C. government has plans to increase minimum wage by 20 cents in September (the Globe and Mail). While this is a step in the right direction, this increase falls critically short of the increase that is necessary to help at-risk B.C. families and kids rise out of poverty. It is imperative that the government raise minimum wage to at least $13/hour so that earners can stay marginally above the poverty line and provide adequately for their children. For the sake of at-risk B.C. youth, it’s time to change the amount of change in the pockets of British Columbians. Caleb Haberstock Vernon

Helping seniors access safe and effective therapeutic exercise

As we age it is easy to place physical and mental restrictions on ourselves for the sake of erring on the side of caution. While it is important to listen to our body and know our limits, age is truly a mindset and with the right education and support system, seniors can have the confidence to continue living the lifestyle they want. Maintaining independence at home is a goal shared by both seniors and their loved ones. To achieve this goal seniors must establish and evaluate the everyday risks they face. Risk assessment and preventative action provides seniors with the confidence to continue living independently and their loved ones with peace of mind. The

combination of therapeutic exercise and expert consultation can help seniors attain the fitness level necessary to maintain their independence while staying healthy. Providing seniors with this confidence is an important investment, and you should make sure that any professional you consult is accountable for the services they provide. Kinesiologists are regulated health professionals in Ontario who are who competent in gait analysis, designing and implementing programs to prevent falls and injury, improve body strength and enhance balance and movement. The College of Kinesiologists regulates the profession in

Ontario (check B.C. regulations) and ensures the delivery of competent, safe and ethical services. Working with a registered kinesiologist gives you peace of mind knowing they are highly trained and accountable for their consultation and work. Only members of the College are permitted to use the title kinesiologist. The College exists to protect the public by setting strict requirements to enter the profession, developing standards of practice and a code of ethics and requiring kinesiologists to participate in continuing professional development. If you are concerned about the services received, you can contact the College and they will investigate. – newscanada

Exercise is medicine reducing the risk of dementia According to the World Health Organization, one new case of dementia arises every four seconds worldwide. As Canada’s population continues to age, the number of adults living with dementia is expected to reach an estimated 1.4 million by 2031. As there is currently no effective medication to alter the progress of cognitive impairment, it comes as no surprise that there is significant interest in lifestyle approaches for preventing or treating dementia. What does the research show us? Summarizing the best available and most recent scientific evidence, the McMaster Optimal Aging Portal provides these key messages that can be acted upon: • In healthy older adults, routine physical activity may reduce the risk of developing dementia while promoting overall physical health. Both aerobic and resistance exercises may improve aspects of cognitive and brain function. • In people who have dementia, routine physical activity may be an important way to prevent further cognitive decline. • Regular physical exercise may help improve mobility and other physical limitations of older adults with dementia. This might enable them to rely less on assistance from caregivers, possibly resulting in greater self-satisfaction.

Scrumptious stir-fry for the family Stir-fry is a dish many people, adults and kids alike, seem to love. That popularity is perhaps because no two stir-fry dishes ever seem to be the same or because stir-fry dishes encourage cooks to take chances with ingredients. Those who want to experiment with a tried and true stir-fry success might want to try Michelle Dudash’s recipe for “Orange Peel Beef & Broccoli Stir-Fry With Brown Rice” from her book, “Clean Eating for Busy Families” (Fair Winds Press). Orange Peel Beef & Broccoli Stir-Fry With Brown Rice Serves 4 For Sauce: 2 tablespoons reduced sodium soy sauce 1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons rice vinegar 1 tablespoon cornstarch 2 teaspoons honey 1⁄2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 1⁄4 teaspoon Chinese 5-spice powder (or 1⁄4 teaspoon cinnamon and 1⁄8 teaspoon each ground fenne l and cloves) 1 tablespoon dark sesame oil For Stir-Fry: 51⁄2 cups bite-size broccoli florets 1 tablespoon minced garlic 1 tablespoon minced ginger (or 1⁄2 teaspoon ground ginger) 1⁄8 teaspoon salt 1 pound flank or flat iron steak, or top sirloin, thinly sliced against the grain in 11⁄2-inch pieces 1 tablespoon expeller-pressed grapeseed or canola oil 1 orange, 2 teaspoons grated zest, inner segments sliced 2 teaspoons sesame seeds 3 cups cooked brown rice To make the sauce: Stir together all of the sauce ingredients in a small bowl and set aside. To make the stir-fry: Heat a large frying pan or wok over high heat, add 1 cup of water and bring to a boil. Add broccoli, reduce heat to a low boil and cover with a lid or piece of foil, leaving a gap for steam to escape. Steam for 5 minutes until almost fork-tender. Move broccoli to a plate, reserving cooking water in another container. In a medium bowl, sprinkle garlic, ginger and salt evenly over the beef. Scrape the pan clean, place it on high heat and add the oil. When the oil is shimmering, add the beef in an even layer and cook for 2 minutes undisturbed until brown. Toss with a wooden spoon to break up the pieces, reducing heat to medium-high as needed. Add orange zest and sesame seeds and cook until beef is done, another 2 minutes. Swirl in the sauce, add broccoli and stir-fry to reheat. Add a splash of reserved broccoli water if mixture seems too dry. Serve hot and garnish with orange segments.

Tasty meal gets kids cooking in the kitchen

Getting children to try new foods is not always easy. Kids have a tendency to be picky when it comes to the foods they eat, and many youngsters are reluctant to try all but the most familiar foods. Getting kids to embrace a variety of foods may take time, but such a noble effort can produce successful results. Dining on different foods helps to develop the palate and also ensures that children are being exposed to an array of nutrients and vitamins that are essential for growing bodies. One way to help children be more receptive to new foods is to involve them when choosing the menu and preparing meals. A youngster who went shopping, picked out foods and assisted in the kitchen may be more eager to try the final product than one who has not. Mexican-inspired dishes may be one way to put new foods on the dinner table. “Cheddar Beef Enchiladas” from “Casseroles, Slow Cooker & Soups” by Taste of Home editors (RDA Enthusiast Brands) features familiar ingredients combined with some more exotic flavors. Enchiladas can appeal to picky eaters. Cheddar Beef Enchiladas Yield: 2 casseroles (5 to 6 enchiladas each) 1 1 1 2 1 2 10 1 1
