Hands Across Sand A3

Party marks 10 years for Laurier Manor Teresa Mallam arts@pgfreepress.com

Cupcakes, colourful balloons, door prizes and good company. Laurier Manor residents, their families, caregivers and volunteers helped to celebrate the facility’s 10 anniversary Wednesday. Many long term tenants have fond memories of their years living at the comfortable, assisted living residence. Bob Parris has a big family – four children, 35 grandchildren and 35 great grandchildren. His biggest family though is probably the one he’s found since moving into Laurier Manor nine and a half years ago – shortly after it opened. Parris came from the U.S.

to Prince George in 1968. Before his retirement, he worked in inventory control for Acklands. “Wife number one gave me four children and wife number two gave me nine step children so that’s why there’s lots of grandchildren,” he says good-naturedly. The thing he recalls most about his first days at the Manor is that their menu was not what it is today. “Back then they didn’t have a full meal at lunchtime. Just snacks.” Helen Slater has been at Laurier Manor for “seven years, five months.” She worked 25 years for Nechako Beverages (yes, she’s heard all the jokes). Her move to an assisted living facility came after

a ‘freak’ accident 12 years ago which sent her to hospital, then on to rehabilitation. “I was pulling a weed in my garden and I somehow broke the bone on my backside....then my legs were gone.” She smiles, wryly, “I’ve been in this wheelchair ever since. And I never did get that weed out. It was a thistle.” Slater has two sons, seven grandchildren and nine great grandchildren. Ursula McAvany is the – relatively speaking – “new kid” on the block. She moved into the Manor three years ago. “I like it here because you have your independence – but there’s always someone to help if you need it.”

Susan Kragt, supervisor of the seniors wellness program with Northern Health was on hand Wednesday with program coordinators Sherry Maher and Justine Armstrong. The program helps seniors in Gateway Assisted Living, Laurier Manor , 1010 Alward and two buildings at Aspen. Social events and outings are a big part of the event planning they do. “It’s been an absolute pleasure working with the tenants, staff, families and volunteers who all work together to create an opportunity for enhancing the quality of life for seniors through programs we offer and experiences we promote.” Recently, they returned from a trip with the seniors

to Barkerville. They also enjoyed a “garden party” with the David Douglas Botanical Garden Society. Volunteers are an integral part of the work they do with seniors, said Kragt. Yuki Hoyama began her work with seniors as a meals on wheels volunteer in 1971. She’s been volunteering at Laurier Manor since it opened in 2002. On Wednesday she was on hand helping out

and handing out her sweet treats, chocolates in an origami wrap. Jeanne Fujikawa is another tireless volunteer. “I never thought I’d be working with seniors,” she said. “In fact, I used to work with kids at the Y several years ago. “When my mother lived here (at the Manor) I started volunteering then and after she passed away, I just kept on doing that. “

Turner receives national honour A graduate student at the University of Northern British Columbia (UNBC) has been honoured by the Canadian Association of Geographers for his research involving the First Nations treaty process in B.C. Chris Turner recently received the prestigious Robin P. Armstrong Memorial Prize for his master’s thesis on First Nations’ “overlapping claims.” The prize recognizes and promotes excellence in applied research on Canada’s Aboriginal peoples and is selected from among both masters and PhD-level theses across the country. “I’m delighted to be recognized for this research,” says Turner, who is currently a doctoral candidate at UNBC. “It’s flattering to have the project singled out, and my graduate supervisor, Dr. Gail Fondahl, as well as my thesis committee deserves a lot of credit. UNBC is a terrific school to do graduate research in the field of indigenous geographies.” “UNBC is an exemplary school for a whole bunch of reasons. The world-class faculty goes out of its way to help students succeed,” says Turner. “I work with a legal scholar with extensive experience in treaty negotiation, an expert in the legal geographies of indigenous peoples, and the Canada Research Chair of comparative indigenousstate relations. These are first-rate scholars and very generous people. There is isn’t another university in the world where I would have the kind of knowledgeable mentorship I receive at UNBC.” Turner’s research examines the potential of a bi-cultural institution such as a commission of inquiry to research and hear evidence concerning land claims and, where required, mediate territorial disputes among

First Nations. This is the first time this has been investigated to resolve land claims disputes in B.C. “One of the fascinating aspects of this work is the idea that through such an institution we can learn about and accommodate indigenous legal systems, and thus support a more just application of Canadian law and treaty making,” says Turner. Right now, only four treaties in B.C. have reached the final stages of negotiation in B.C.: Nisga’a, Lheidli T’enneh, Tswawwassen, and Maa Nulth. Turner argues that the current approach to treaty-making in B.C. is problematic and that a solution, at least in part, could lie in the establishment commission of inquiry-style institutions, such as those which can be found in New Zealand and Australia. “With the project I set out to address two related questions concerning ‘overlapping’ indigenous claims: first, does the Crown’s practice of settling treaties in overlapping and contested areas privilege some indigenous groups to the detriment of others? And second, are overlapping and contested claims a barrier to the ethical settlement of treaties, and if so, what can and should be the role and policy of the Crown concerning overlapping claims and treaty negotiation in B.C.?” “In B.C. we are engaged in a treaty process intended to satisfy our legal obligations to indigenous peoples. Such processes need to recognize and take into account the indigenous systems on which these claims are made. My hope is that this research will contribute to achieving our shared goals, including the ethical settlement of treaties in B.C.”

■ hands across the sand

Looking for ways to a clean-energy future Local event set for August 11 at Fort George Park Teresa Mallam arts@pgfreepress.com

Jessica Davey, Karen McDowell and Teva McDowell want to make a difference. They hope that on August 11, community members will come together for a special Hands Across the Sand event held at Fort George Park. “I got the idea for holding the event here after I heard two years ago about the Hands Across the Sand event in Florida (Feb. 13, 2010). About 10,000 people came out. Now they have people coming out to the event in several countries all over the world,” said the local group’s spokesperson, Karen McDowell. “The idea is for as many people as possible to join hands near the water in support of a clean energy future and to end our dependence on fossil fuels. It will be fun and family-friendly, there will be food, music, information booths and speeches.” Sponsors and volunteers are welcome to contact the group. “The focus is on clean energy,” said McDowell. “There’s lots of marches and protests going on [about saving the environment] but they can lead to a police presence

and an atmosphere that isn’t very child-friendly. Everyone agrees we need to change what we’re doing to the environment – but we need to know what those changes are.” It starts with education. “Our industry is on the Fraser and Nechako rivers,” said Davey. “So it makes sense for us to hold this event close to water [behind the mini-railway in Fort George Park]. We will have a First Nations elder out to bless the land there and there will be people from UNBC coming out to talk to us about how we can use clean energy and end our dependency on fossil fuels.” The Hands Across the Sand event will be held Saturday, August 11 at Fort George Park (behind the mini-railway) from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. In many other areas of the world, people will join hands at noon on August 4. They are encouraged to use alternate means of transportation to get to the event including car pooling, biking, walking and public transportation. On the international scene, Hands Across the Sand 2012 starts in New Zealand and Te re s a M A LLA M / Fre e Pre s s moves across the world, ending in Hawaii.

Enjoy the BC Day weekend

So today we start the last long weekend of the summer. Yes, we know Labour Day is coming up in September, but that’s more a (plug your ears, kids) “get ready for school and clean up the cabin” weekend. The BC Day weekend is the one where, in theory, families can get together with visitors from out of town and enjoy three days of fun and togetherness, whether doing things in cities like Prince George or in the backcountry around places like, well, Prince George. What that means, of course, is there are probably going to be more vehicles on the road this weekend than most people are used to seeing, especially around here. And a lot of those vehicles are going to be driven by people who are in a hurry to get where they’re going, not sure where they’re going, or both of the above. What we’re saying here are the same things we say before every long weekend, it seems. – Leave a few minutes early so you’re not racing to get to your destination. – Know as well as possible where you’re going, and if you’re driving in a city, make sure you have the best possible directions, so that you’re not suddenly veering across four lanes of traffic when you realize the left turn coming up is the one you need to take. – Don’t be afraid to stop and ask for directions. This doesn’t just apply to the men, by the way. A lot of women seem to be afraid to ask for directions because they think it enforces the stereotypical “dumb broad”. Not at all. I’m sure most people would think you were smarter if you asked for directions than if they saw your vehicle go past them three times in 10 minutes because you’re lost. – Watch out for the other driver. He may not have read these helpful tips, which means he’s running late, lost, and isn’t going to ask for directions. Have a great weekend.

Taxpayer to pay for Olympic TV

So the CBC was announcing proudly earlier this week that it had acquired the TV rights to the 2014 Winter and 2016 Summer Olympics. Interestingly, the press releases the day of the announcement didn’t have any dollar figures attached to the winning bid for the rights to the next two Olympics. We hope those numbers are forthcoming quickly, because we recall past examples of the CBC’s concept of bidding, where it would put in a bid that the Olympics people were more than happy to accept because it was well above anyone else’s. The reason, of course, was a simple one. The CBC was bidding taxpayers’ dollars, not worried about whether it could actually make money on the deal. It was the prestige of being Canada’s public broadcaster bringing us the Olympics. There is no doubt CBC does a very good job of covering the Olympics. But from what we’ve seen so far this year, so do other networks. And they didn’t use taxpayer money to get the rights.

RCMP take new tack on domestic violence Looking for ways to end the cycle Delynda pilon newsroom@pgfreepress.com

Last year the RCMP attended over 900 domestic violence calls, a fact which prompted Supt. Eric Stubbs to follow the lead of other communities and create a local domestic violence unit. S t u b b s introduced the concept of the unit to city council Carla at a meeting earlier in the year during which he outlined policing priorities for the city and received unanimous support for the idea. “I was asked to start a domestic violence unit,” Corp. Carla Cook, who was available for interviews at an RCMP press conference on crime statistics Wednesday, said. She added she is spending the initial weeks in the new unit reviewing files, ensuring all due diligence was done by on-scene officers in each case and that appropriate follow-up was made, bringing social agency partners in to help families with the various issues that arise in certain cases. “I’m not a social worker,” Cook pointed out. “I pass

on information to our community partners. We all need to pull together as a group with these cases. We work in coordination with all the different community agencies as a concentrated group for high-risk victims.” Cook added that though the preponderance of victims are female, sometimes men can also be victims of domestic Cook violence. High- New role risk victims are decided on a case by case basis, sometimes pinpointed because of repeat calls to the police and at other times through the knowledge of someone at a community agency. In fact, one of the challenges in domestic violence cases is it’s often not the victim who complains, rather calls come in from a third party, often from a community agency. Among the 900 calls that came in last year, there are many repeat offenders. Follow-up to stop the cycle of violence is as varied as the people who are involved. As an example, Cook spoke about a woman who returns to her violent partner after he pleads to her to do

so, usually while calling from jail. Upon learning this Cook made arrangements so the man, who is currently incarcerated, cannot call anyone but his

lawyer. Help, through social agencies and the RCMP, comes in many forms, be it victims’ assistance, counselling or financial

aid. Pinpointing high-risk victims and helping them, and others, get the aid required may well stop the cycle of violence for

many local families. Though Cook said she is well aware they cannot save everyone, they are dedicated to doing everything they can to help.

Cariboo Cougars should have new look AListair McInnis

sports@pgfreepress.com

Trevor Sprague will guide the team behind the bench for a sixth season. Beyond that, the Cariboo Cougars’ 2012-13 campaign will be quite different from previous seasons. Returning staff members are changing positions while new faces are coming in. On top of that, the team won’t be playing in its home rink due to the 2015 Canada Winter Games’ Kin Centre Enhancement Project. The renovations are expected to keep Kin 1 off limits to user groups until the project’s planned completion in October 2013. “It’ll be different,” Sprague said on Wednesday. “We’re going to have two home weekends that we have to play in northern communities here.” The BC Hockey Major Midget League squad is aiming to play a doubleheader in McBride against the Thompson Blazers in November. They’re also looking at a two-game set in Vanderhoof in January against the Valley West Hawks. Sprague expects to see the bulk of their home games unfold at the Coliseum and

CN Centre. The Kin Centre has two other ice surfaces that’ll get used during the project, but those rinks aren’t as spectator friendly. The city’s other hockey ice surface is at the Elksentre in the Hart area. Personnel changes see Tim Sprague and Brad Crossan joining the staff as assistant coaches for the upcoming Major Midget League season. Tim, Trevor’s younger brother, is a former member of the Prince George Spruce Kings. Crossan has a long history of involvement with the Prince George Minor Hockey Association and is a senior regional scout for the Western Hockey League’s Victoria Royals. “(Crossan) is a guy who has played the game at a high level and he’s good with the players,” Sprague said. “He’s a guy who I’ve always liked working with, and I’ve learned a lot from him as well over the years.” Other returning Cariboo staff members include Trevor Foster, Andy Beesley and Jeff Sargeant. Foster willl once again serve the role of goaltender coach, while Beesley and Sargeant will see changes to their job titles. The team’s

play-by-play broadcaster and director of media relations, Sargeant is expanding his duties by taking on the position of manager. Beesley, the manager the past four seasons, is stepping back to fill in as the team’s assistant manager. The staff is busy preparing for the Cougars’ evaluation camp, scheduled for Aug. 9 to 12 at the Coliseum and Elksentre. Close to 90 players have registered for the sessions, which marks the start of a tryout process that’ll run until mid-September. The Cougars are expected to have a 20-player roster set by Sept. 15. The regular season begins on Sept. 22. “We like building people and we like building a team,” Sprague said. “Every year, it’s probably why I get the most excited at the beginning of the year is to see who we’re going to have on the team and who’s going to come and make the team.” The Cougars will reduce their roster size to between 45 and 50 players after the evaluation camp ends on Aug. 12. They have a second tryout camp on the Labour Day long weekend from Aug. 31 to Sept. 3. From Sept. 6 to 9, the
