    CaribooConnector

    The Cariboo Family Enrichment Centre is offering an important work-shop, entitled Men, Social Services and Social Change, at Horton Ventures com-munity meeting room (808 Alpine Ave. in 100 Mile House) on May 27.

    There is no charge for this half-day workshop that runs from 10 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Organizers ask folks to call 250-395-5155 or e-mail at [email protected] to register, so they can plan for the lunch.

    The workshop will be presented by David Hatfield.

    In recent years, Macleans Magazine, Newsweek, The Economist and New Internationalist have all run front-page stories about the need to rethink mascu-linity.

    To meet 21st century challenges, pro-gressive thinking calls for a value set of flexibility, collaboration and emotional intelligence, Hatfield says.

    Yet, for boys and men, we continue to script masculinity as stoicism, competi-tiveness, invulnerability, individualism and emotional repression. The wellness of boys and men, families and communities is negatively impacted by these persisting social expectations. Clearly, something very different is needed.

    In this half-day workshop, Hatfield says he will share his learning and observa-tions on prevailing Canadian expressions of masculinity and how they pertain to social service and helping professionals.

    This collaborative inquiry will be interactive, dynamic, and experiential and will be shaped in response to the needs and questions of those present.

    Hatfield is a leadership consultant and facilitator specializing in masculinity and male identity. He is the Canadian co-ordinator for International Mens Day. He holds an M.Ed. in social ecology from the University of Western Sydney in Australia.

    Social service agen-cies are pushing for adequate long-term funding for the vulner-able, and they believe political parties need to commit to improved support for children and youth.

    Most Brit ish Columbians would say they care about chil-dren and not just their own. Weve agreed, as a society, that when chil-dren and youth need help, and their families cant provide it, its up to us.

    Sadly, were not doing a good enough job. This election cam-paign is a chance to press for commitments on services for children and youth.

    We know effective, timely supports can change lives, and avoid the huge future costs that come when prob-lems are ignored. But, we havent acted on that knowledge.

    Some families need help developing bet-ter parenting skills. Children might need treatment for behav-ioural issues. The range of needed services is enormous.

    The childrens minis-try receives more than 30,000 protection reports a year warn-ings that a child might be at risk. In extreme cases, children are taken into government

    care.More often, ministry

    involvement is focused on linking families with help, so they can be suc-cessful. And that support is provided by commu-nity social service agen-cies across the province.

    The Ministry of Children and Family Development released a report last month that found quick access to services can help families overcome problems and prevent challenges from becom-ing entrenched.

    But for many fami-lies, quick access to services is impossible. Funding for agencies has been frozen or cut, while demand for ser-vices has increased. Problems become more serious while desperate families cant get the help they need.

    Thats wrong, and wasteful. We will pay far more in future because we arent providing needed support to chil-dren and families today.

    We are failing in other ways. Parents know, for example, their children need continued support as they grow into adult-hood.

    Yet, youth in govern-ment care are denied

    that support. On their 19th birthdays, they are basically left to fend for

    themselves.The results

    are predict-able. The m i n i s t r y report found almost half of youth who aged out of care were on income a s s i s t a n c e

    within six months. Thats a grim life, with an income of $610 to $906 a month.

    Attending school, finding work and a place to live, staying healthy they are all difficult for an unsup-ported 19-year-old.

    The ministry recog-nizes the problem, and is looking for solu-tions. But it lacks a clear mandate and needed resources.

    People tend to think

    government delivers these services and it does play a large role.

    However, communi-ty-based agencies and foster parents deliver many of these govern-ment-funded services.

    Ask your candidates to commit to adequate long-term funding for these vital services. Push the parties for specific answers about what they will do to ensure help for family and youth is available.

    Its easy to say we care about children, but whats needed today is action, not more words.

    By Tom FletcherBlack Press

    NDP Leader Adrian Dix has promised to repeal the remainder of Bill 29, the legislation that broke union con-tracts and allowed contracting out of health support services early in the B.C. Liberal term of government.

    Parts of that legisla-tion were struck down in a 2007 ruling by the Supreme Court of Canada, and the govern-ment was forced to pay compensation and con-sult with unions before any further contracting out of services.

    In a pre-campaign interview with Guardian, the Hospital Employees Union magazine, Dix made no specific com-mitments.

    We are going to need to improve and strength-en the public role if we are going to continue to provide a high level of service, given the federal cuts that are coming to health care in 2014/15, Dix told the HEU pub-lication.

    Theyre not really cuts. After a string of six per cent increases, the growth of health-care transfers is capped at four per cent starting next year.

    After signing a series of net zero contracts with various public ser-vice unions in the past year, the B.C. Liberals tabled an election bud-get proposing to hold health spending growth to two per cent this year.

    In 2008, the B.C. Liberal government passed amendments to

    comply with the court ruling that collective bargaining rights are constitutionally pro-tected. The ruling didnt reverse pay cuts, but ordered payment of $80 million in compensa-tion and retraining, and required negotiations before any further con-tracting out of health care jobs.

    Judy Darcy, then sec-retary-business manager of the HEU and now the NDP candidate in New Westminster, said at the time the legislation allowed the government and the union to move on and build some kind of a partnership.

    Platform highlights: The B.C. Liberals

    emphasize their legis-lative change to allow Licensed Practical

    Nurses to leave the HEU and join the B.C. Nurses Union. The party wants to partner with hospice societies to double the number of hospice beds by 2020.

    The B.C. NDP distances itself from public-private part-nerships to build and run hospitals. It promises to acceler-ate Surrey Memorial Hospitals critical care expansion as a public project, and Dix has said 30-year contracts are too long for health-care facilities.

    The B.C. Conservative plat-form criticizes the B.C. Liberals for spending less than the national average on health care, and for raising Medical Services Plan premi-ums. Party Leader John

    Cummins has joined the B.C. Liberals and NDP in promising an expan-sion for the 63-year-old Penticton Regional Hospital.

    The B.C. Green Party platform promises to support development of co-ops and social enterprises for the provision of communi-ty-based health, social and education services. It also wants to expand MSP coverage for chi-ropractic, physiotherapy, eye exams and massage therapy, and impose a junk food tax.

    Election issue: health care privatization

    Businesses can sign up to have a govern-ment Provincial Sales Tax (PST) specialist review their accounting and reporting systems to ensure their systems are properly set up to comply with PST laws.

    The PST education program is a general review of a business accounts and systems to ensure they are set up correctly to collect, report, remit and pay the PST. It is not a records or transactional review; however, a small sample of invoices may be used to help with the system review.

    The education pro-gram is not an audit, so businesses wont be issued a tax assessment for any errors noted. If the PST hasnt been cor-rectly paid, collected, or remitted, the business will be advised of the corrective actions need-

    ed and will have the opportunity to correct the mistakes on their next PST return.

    If the business doesnt correct the errors noted in the review and under-goes a future audit, the errors would be subject to an assessment, plus any applicable penalties and interest.

    Businesses with no prior PST experience and small to medium businesses would ben-efit most from this service, although it is available to all business-es operating in British Columbia. Government will try to reach as many businesses as possible to promote voluntary compliance with the PST.

    For more informa-tion or to complete the online registration form to request an appoint-ment, visit www.gov.bc.ca/pstoutreach. If

    you have any difficulties registering online, call toll-free at 1-877-388-4440.

    This outreach program replaces the one-on-one consultations with a PST specialist.

  • The Amazing Challenge 3 is coming up on June 1 and it is a great opportunity to have fun outdoors, a bit of adven-ture and some exercise for those who want it.

    It is also a great way to help raise funds for the 100 Mile District Hospice and Palliative Care Society.

    Teams must register by May 15; however, every-one interested in signing up a team of four should do so as soon as possible because teams are lim-ited to 20.

    Only two of the four team members need to be moderately physically fit, as activities such as light hiking, are involved for some participants.

    There will be at least a dozen chal-

    lenges involved, each starting at different loca-tions throughout the South Cariboo.

    Individuals, local gov-ernment, groups and organizations are urged to consider forming a team and signing up for the charity fundraiser.

    Business are encour-aged to throw down the gauntlet and challenge their competition, as was the case last year when two local restaurants, the Firehouse Diner and the Red Rock Grill, com-peted in a lighthearted rivalry.

    A donation of $200 per team to support the hos-pice society is required to enter the challenge.

    Each team must also include one car and driver in order to seek

    the clues and avoid the obstacles. Typically, there are hidden prizes along the way to keep things interesting, and the first team to com-plete the challenges will win bragging rights and

    a trophy.Participants must obey

    all traffic laws in their quest for the win.

    For more information or to register, call or leave a message for Irene at 250-396-4699.

    WEEK OF MAY 12 TO MAY 18, 2013

    ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20Aries, something irresistible keeps grab-bing your attention. Dont overindulge too much or you will regret the decision later on. Exercise moderation.

    TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21Taurus, you may be tempted to run away from a challenging situation, but it is in your best interest to hunker down and face the problem. You wont be going it alone.

    GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21Gemini, you seem to quickly conquer tasks that others struggle with. It could be thanks to your ability to focus, but look over your work to make sure its correct.

    CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22Cancer, while many things come easily to you, there is one particular situation that continually proves problematic. You might have to scale a few mountains to handle it.

    LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23Leo, this week you might be better off tackling things on your own instead of looking to others for support. This will help minimize any potential distractions.

    VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22You have a few secrets you are not will-ing to share just yet, Virgo. Thats alright. Keeping some of your agenda private will inspire curiosity and be to your advantage.

    LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23Libra, you may be trying to get a certain person alone so you can have some one-on-one time together. A rendezvous is pos-sible this week.

    SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22Scorpio, you are at an impasse because you are second-guessing some of your most recent decisions. You may need to shift your focus to get back on track.

    SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21The old adage that if you want something done right you have to do it yourself rings especially true this week, Sagittarius. Your skills are put to the test.

    CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20Capricorn, there is a certain window of time this week when you will be extremely ef cient and effective. The other times you may as well throw in the towel.

    AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18Aquarius, you have to work out a few loose ends before you are free for a much-needed vacation or just time spent doing whatever it is that makes you happy.

    PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20Pisces, sometimes love can cause pain, but this is the way to grow and learn from mistakes. There are lessons to be learned in a few days.

    As voters prepare to head to the polls, the BC Chamber of Commerce (BCCC) is reminding British Columbians that B.C.s economic future hinges on how well the next premier manages the provinces resource-based economy.

    Theres a popular but mistaken belief out there that B.C.s wealth

    is rooted in sectors, such as ecotourism and film, says John Winter, the BCCC president and CEO.

    While every busi-ness sector contributes to our prosperity, B.C.s resource industries remain the cornerstone of our economy and a crucial factor behind British Columbians enviable standard of

    living.Tax dollars flowing

    from B.C.s resource industries are a critical source of funding for B.C.s hospitals, schools and social programs, Winter explains. He notes these industries also support high-paying jobs for British Columbians, which, in turn, fuel B.C.s con-sumer economy.

    The BCCC is con-cerned that, apart from some discussions about pipelines, B.C.s politi-cal parties have kept virtually silent about their near-term plans for B.C.s resource industries, Winter says, adding the BCCC calls on parties to clarify their plans for these industries before vot-ers go to the polls next week.

    Its great to see sup-port for developing LNG (liquefied natural gas) in B.C., but the BC Chamber of Commerce cautions voters that this is a long-range plan.

    Voters will need to decide which party will steward B.C.s resource industries forward in the near term by eliminating valueless bureaucratic backlogs and taking a getting-to-yes attitude to resource projects.

    In a shaky glob-

    al economy, Winter stresses B.C. cant afford to sideline its resource industries for ideological reasons.

    These industries are B.C.s heritage and its core competitive advantage on the global stage.

    We need to support these industries while continuing to encour-age world-leading environmental and social practices, so B.C.s resource indus-tries will be a model to the world both economically and ethi-cally.

    B.C.s future hinges on next premiers resource sector plans

    As a volunteer at last years Relay for Life and cancer survivor, it seemed only natu-ral Shannon Pennicott would join this years committee.

    I wanted to be a big-ger part of it and bring about some changes, says Pennicott.

    Although she does not have a specific job title on the commit-tee, her enthusiasm and unique perspec-tive have made her an invaluable member of the team.

    This year, Pennicott says she is mainly a gopher and just getting her feet wet, bringing new ideas and doing various jobs as they come up.

    I really like the enthusiasm and how the group works together, she says, adding everyone is very accepting and respectful of each others opinions and ideas.

    There is a real shift this year to move away from being a closed day with team events and going back to a community event where everyone can come to Centennial Park on June 8 to par-ticipate and have fun.

    All the while, they will be continuing to raise awareness of what the cancer soci-ety does. The public is invited to come down and enjoy the music and activities running

    all day, says Pennicott.

    You realize when you have been affected by it how much it becomes a part of your world that you werent involved in before.

    You realize the

    i m p o r t a n c e of the cancer society and how much you need it. You know theres a group there for you and thats what I want to help bring to peo-

    ple youre not alone.

    Pennicott brings energy, experience to Relay for Life

  • This Mothers Day, the BC Lung Association (BCLA) encourages readers to congratulate and give thanks to those mothers who have quit smoking, and to offer support to those who are trying to quit.

    Smoking is the num-ber 1 cause of lung cancer.

    A recent Provincial Health Officers report on womens health confirms woman with similar smoking habits to men are twice as likely to develop lung cancer. Furthermore, they devel-op cancer at an earlier

    age. Smoking is also the

    leading cause of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). COPD is the fourth lead-ing cause of death, the No. 1 reason for adult admission to hospital emergency rooms. It also affects more women than men.

    Thats why help-ing more people quit smoking remains a top public health prior-ity, says Suzanne Gaby, QuitNow Services man-ager for the BCLA.

    There are only so many things we can do

    to reduce our risk of any disease, let alone cancer. Quitting smoking is the number 1 preventive health measure we can take and with lung can-cer and COPD rates in women increasing, its a critical step.

    Gaby says the BCLA doesnt highlight these facts to frighten women, but rather to encourage women to take care of their health so theyll be around to see their kids grow up.

    Second-hand smoke.Pregnant women

    need to be particularly

    cautious of exposure to tobacco smoke, Gaby says, adding regular smoke exposure can create a greater risk of miscarriages and low birth weight babies.

    Infants who breathe in tobacco smoke have a greater chance of getting bronchitis, pneumo-

    nia, ear infections and of dying from sudden infant death syndrome.

    Studies also dem-onstrate children regularly exposed to tobacco smoke score lower on tests in reading, math, logic, and reason-ing skills.

    The reality is that if

    cigarettes were invented today, Gaby explains, they would never make it to market.

    This is why the BCLA is taking every oppor-tunity to remind British Columbians of the free quit smoking services available through its free QuitNow program

    (www.quitnow.ca). Most smokers seven out of 10 want to quit and the BCLA wants to help.

    May 6 was Music Monday in School District #27 and across the country.

    Students from all of the elementary and the secondary school music programs in 100 Mile House travelled north to share their talents as musicians and singers.

    They joined all public school music students in Williams Lake at the Cariboo Memorial Complex, along with many other professional and amateur musicians and singers.

    The Canada-wide event is held to support music in schools, and features the simultane-ous singing and playing of one song at 10:30 a.m. across the nation.

    After everyone played and sang Is Somebody Singing, each group performed a piece on their own.

    Monica Lamb-Yorski photoLocal students and amateur and professional musicians came together May 6 to perform the song Is Somebody Singing, synchronized with other people all across Canada at 10:30 a.m., and it was followed by a concert.

    Music Monday event a success
