Ten extreme weather spaces have once again been funded by the provincial government for 100 Mile House this winter.
These temporary spaces are available under the Extreme Weather Response Program [EWRP] from Nov. 1 until March 31, to increase emergency shelter space so homeless individuals can have a warm bed for the night when weather conditions threaten
their safety and health.To access an extreme weather
space during these months, home-less people needing shelter in 100 Mile House must be assessed and referred to these emergency shel-ters by RCMP, the hospital, or the Homeless Outreach Worker (HOW) at Canadian Mental Health Association-South Cariboo Branch (CMHA) at 250-706-7599.
CMHA acting executive direc-tor Susann Collins says these spaces include a room made avail-able at the 99 Mile Motel, as part
of the 100 Mile’s Extreme Weather Response Plan, which allows the RCMP to assist homeless people in cold weather.
However, the assessment pro-cess must be done and result in a referral before these short-term beds are provided, she explains.
“Because we don’t have a big shel-ter like some bigger towns do ... we’ve had to put some limitations on who we can shelter, because we don’t have 24-hour [HOW] staff, we just have regular staff at the motel room.”
While the government funds
CMHA for up to 10 spaces, she explains those are beds, not rooms, and so might be grouped, such as a family or members of the same sex able to share a room. Sometimes, the HOW will arrange a space or spaces at another motel or elsewhere, Collins adds.
This includes cases where the homeless person has a pet (which are not allowed at 99 Mile Motel), or a family requiring more than the two beds available in that motel room.

The Safeway grocery store in 100 Mile House raised just over $7,300 for breast cancer research recently. The endeavour culminated with employees Sheila McDermid, center, and Debbie Rodrigue, the store’s top fundraising cashiers, shaving manager Sean Watson’s hair – which was dyed pink for the initiative – on Nov. 15. Watson thanked shoppers and Safeway staff for all their support.

A windstorm, snow-storm and some falling trees causing a series of separate power out-ages on Nov. 16, spread from Canim Lake to 108 Mile Ranch and kept local residences in the dark for up to 16 hours.
The early Saturday morning outage hit areas of 108 Mile Ranch at 3:06 a.m., affected 163 residences until power was fully restored at 10:44 a.m.
Another 764 houses in other areas of that community were left without power from 3:41 a.m. to as late as 1:02 p.m. Then over at Spring Lake, Dempsey Lake and Larson Lake roads to the north-east, the electricity shut off at 4:43 a.m. and was out until 1:09 p.m., impact-ing 39 residences.
Another 216 homes
located east of Canim Place at Canim Lake had their power cut out at 4:02 a.m. which wasn’t fully restored until 4:56 p.m., almost 13 hours later.
In Forest Grove, 11 Ruth Lake Road resi-dences had no electrical service from 4:43 a.m.-8:57 p.m, more than 16 hours.
In the District of 100 Mile House, 74 homes
and businesses were without hydro power from 4:08-11.56 a.m.
The night before, a Nov. 15 power outage from 10:10 p.m. until 4:34 a.m. on Nov. 16, hit 129 Wilcox Road house-holds in Forest Grove, just about the time the wind had begun wreak-ing havoc further west.
A scattering of other power outages from storms over the same weekend affected less than eight residences each at varied times throughout the day, with durations rang-ing from about four to 11 hours.

“If some service clubs or a church had some-body that came to them that needed help and shelter, if they put them up in a motel room, we could pay their expens-es retroactively.”
Cariboo-Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett says the province’s EWRP program will provide up to $1.5 million this winter for about 1,100 temporary emergency shelter spaces in more than 80 communities.
“Here in the Cariboo, weather conditions can be quite harsh dur-ing the winter months. Being able to provide a place of refuge when this happens is important, and having extreme weather shelters avail-able in our community could save lives.”
Barnett explains these 10 spaces are not provided as long-term shelter, but for use as a last resort.
“The government has been doing this now for a few years in different communities. Since the need is here, I’m grate-ful that we are having this opportunity, so that these people are in somewhere where it is warm and safe.”
More information is available online at www.bchousing.org/Options/Emergency_Housing/EXR#sthash.KtGHhstI.dpufEmer-gency beds for extreme weather.
While many home-less are unlikely to have access to the Internet, concerned community members can learn more about the pro-gram to potentially
steer those in need in the right direction.
Barnett notes emer-gency personnel across the province often play a key role in encouraging people with no shelter during bad weather con-ditions to make use of available rooms.
There have been dis-
cussions in the local community about find-ing ways to increase support and shelters for the area’s homeless peo-ple for the past several years, Barnett adds.
“There is a need for it here ... we certainly don’t want anyone out in the cold and freezing.”
The BC Lung Association QuitNow program has gone mobile by delivering free quit smoking sup-port into the palm of your hand day or night.
“We’re all becom-ing increasingly reliant on our mobile phones,” says Jack Boomer, QuitNow director for the BC Lung Association.
“So it follows, if our role is to be there for British Columbians struggling to quit, we need to be easily accessi-ble through any mobile device. Now, all of our quit smoking tools, contests and support
services can be easily navigated through your Smartphone or iPad, as well as your desktop computer.”
If a quit plan is what you need, QuitNow offers a step-by-step quit guide that identi-fies smoking triggers and coping tips. It also has an interactive tool
to help you know how much money you’ve saved by not buying cigarettes and how long you’ve been smoke free.
If motivation is what you’re after, you can sign up for the text messaging support service, participate in the monthly quit and win contest (tobac-cofreetuesdays.com) or join the Facebook community, where 8000-plus members share tips and celebrate quit milestones day and night.
Or, if what works best for you is one-on-one advice, call a quit coach toll-free (1-877-
455-2233) or get expert advice online through QuitNow’s live chat ser-vice.
“Our goal is to empower people” says Boomer.
“We know most smokers want to quit, but quitting is not easy. By ensuring our ser-vices are close at hand, we hope you’ll reach for your Smartphone instead of a cigarette.”
FAST bytes• Tobacco use
remains the single larg-est preventable cause of death and disease.
• Seven in 10 peo-ple who smoke want
to quit.• Most people make
five to seven quit attempts before success-fully quitting for good.
• By combining proven quit methods (treatments, such as nicotine therapy or pre-scription medications with individual, online or phone support) you double your chance of quit smoking success.

Winning means that they must turn around and leave their family and close friends, embarking on a “Victor’s Tour” of the districts. Along the way Katniss senses that a rebellion is simmering, but the Capitol is still very much in control as President Snow prepares the 75th Annual Hunger Games (The Quarter Quell) - a competition that could change Panem forever.Sci-� Thriller • Parents: Violence • Length: 2:26

Former MLA Ben Stewart is British Columbia’s new investment and trade commissioner for Asia
Stewart will be based in Beijing, but will travel to Japan and Korea to meet regularly with officials working for B.C.’s international trade ministry.
Stewart said his experience promoting the wine industry in Asia will help him in the job.
Premier Christy Clark emphasized Stewart’s experience as an MLA and cabinet minister, which she said gives him quick access to her and other cabinet ministers.
“We need a representative in Asia who is known to have access to power and government here in British Columbia. That is a critical part of doing successful business in Asia.”
Stewart, owner of Quail’s Gate winery, stepped down shortly after winning re-election in Westside-Kelowna in May so Clark could run in a by-election in July.
He will be paid $150,000 to serve in the Asia trade role, which is about the same salary he received as a cabinet minister before he was demoted to the backbench when Clark was selected as B.C. Liberal leader. The cabinet order appointing him allows the salary to increase to $170,000.
NDP international trade critic Bruce Ralston said B.C. has two dozen staffers in their Asian trade offices, with senior people who speak the local lan-guages and are more qualified than Stewart.
“There isn’t a provincial senate, so I guess this is the next best thing.”
Stewart said he worked on trade issues in Hong Kong, Taiwan and Japan as well as Europe and Latin America, trying to open markets for the B.C. wine industry. That experience taught him “how difficult it is to establish relationships from afar,” he added.
The announcement comes as Clark prepares for her own trade mission to Asia in late November, following similar tours by Forests Minister Steve Thomson and Natural Gas Development Minister Rich Coleman.
After the May election, Clark established a new ministry of international trade, headed by Richmond Centre MLA Teresa Wat, who will accompany Clark on the trade mission Nov. 21 to Dec. 3.

Numerous White Cane Club members were recently at the 100 Mile Community Hall participating in the BC Blind Sports and Recreation Association exercise program with instructor Rainer Meyer, left.The program runs every Friday, and is assisted by community volunteers.
By Lori FryMembers from the
Canadian Council of the Blind (CCB) 100 Mile House & District Chapter White Cane Club, along with com-munity volunteers, participate in the BC Blind Sports and Recreation Association (BCBSRA) exercise program for “Visually Impaired Seniors, But Not Limited to....” at the 100 Mile Community Hall.
We meet every Friday at 9:30 a.m. with instructor Rainer Meyer, and are now in the third 10-week ses-sion.
“It is a fabulous, fun and fully funded opportunity for visually impaired and blind indi-viduals to participate in a fitness program that has been designed for those with vision loss and targets all levels of fitness abilities.”
Measures are taken to ensure the safety of blind attendees through modifications of the various movements and other activities, Fry says, adding there is no pressure to do more than each person can do.
The 100 Mile House group is extremely grateful to the BCBSRA for not only offering this program, but for also recognizing the
importance of healthy living and the need to provide encourage-ment of participation through accessible activ-ities to those with vision loss.
“The benefits of this program go beyond the obvious improvements to one’s physical and mental health.”
For more informa-tion, e-mail [email protected].
Lori Fry is the first vice-president of the CCB BC-Yukon Division.

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22Virgo, do your best to avoid being let down by the negative attitudes of others. Friends or coworkers may just be in a bad mood, but that does not mean you need to be.
LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23Libra, a little extra concentration will find you tackling your workload with time to spare. Commit your time now and enjoy taking things slower later in the week.
SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22Scorpio, significant changes are afoot and you are not sure how to prioritize your goals. Enjoy the change, but make use of down time to reestablish your priorities.
SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21Sagittarius, though a pressing issue in your relationship may seem like it needs immediate attention, you have a lot of time to work through any issues.
CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20Capricorn, your normally conservative ap-proach won’t work this week. You have to take a couple of chances, or you won’t accomplish much of anything.
AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18Aquarius, you have only a few days to learn some new procedures at work. It is natural to feel nervous, but put aside those feelings and concentrate what is at hand.
PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20Pisces, don’t worry too much about an upcoming change around the office. You’re in position to benefit from some restructuring.

The Office of the Auditor General of Canada has an environ-mental petitions process that allows any resident of Canada to submit a petition to ministers of 26 federal departments and agencies who must then personally reply to the petition within 120 days.
The petitioner can pose questions or con-cerns they have relating to either environmental or sustainable develop-ment matters that fall within the authority of the federal government.
In the past, petitions have covered a diverse range of issues from oil tankers on the west coast, salmon farm-ing, fisheries, pollution, shale gas fracking, toxic chemicals and climate change.
Subject to the consent of the peti-tioner, the petition and the ministerial response are then published online at www.oag-bvg.gc.ca/internet/English/p e t _ f s _ e _ 9 1 9 . ht m l , which allows more Canadians to become informed about the
issues raised.A Guide to the

By Carol GullifordThere is nothing
more precious than bringing a new life into the world.
Teeth are not the first thing that comes to mind when thinking of pregnancy and the health of the soon-to-be mother and newborn child. However, dental care is an important part of a healthy preg-nancy.
Yes, it is safe to visit your dentist during your pregnancy for routine cleanings and check-ups. It is impor-tant to let the dental office know you are pregnant, so they can adjust your appoint-ment and treatment plan to accommodate you and your baby.
Healthy teeth and gums mean less harm-ful bacteria to pass onto your baby. If you have tooth pain or an infec-tion, be sure to see your dentist. Bacteria that cause gum disease have been linked to pre-term births and low birth weight babies.
What you eat during pregnancy helps keep you healthy and con-tribute to the growth and development of your baby. Vitamins and minerals found in healthy foods are important for normal tooth formation, which starts as early as five weeks.
You may need to eat frequently during your pregnancy. Snack on healthy foods, such as fresh fruit and veg-etables, dairy products, grains and meats, rather than sweet or sticky foods that can increase your risk for tooth decay.
Remember to cut down on sugar in tea and coffee and limit sugary drinks to meal-times.
Many pregnant women say they feel so ill that they don’t feel like eating, especially in the morning. Morning sickness does happen and it not only affects your desire to eat, it can also affect your teeth as well. If you throw up
often, your stomach acids can break down your tooth enamel.
After throwing up, the first thing you might want to do is reach for your toothbrush, but don’t! It is best to wait 30 minutes before brushing your teeth. Instead, rinse your mouth with water first, then rinse again with a fluoride mouth wash. The fluoride helps to re-
mineralize your enamel.Cleaning your teeth
daily is important. Hormones may cause your gums to swell and bleed more than they used to.
Keep up with your daily routine of brush-ing twice daily with fluoride toothpaste and flossing once a day.
You may want to rinse with salt water. If your gums should get
very sore and you do not want to brush, you should see your dentist or dental hygienist.
Check out this health file for more informa-tion on oral health during pregnancy at http://www.healthlink bc.ca/healthfiles/pdf/hfile38b.pdf.

B.C. won’t support inquiry
Refusal leaves Missing and Murdered Aboriginal Women policy a non-starter
carole Rooney
Free Press
Local First Nations women and
other women’s safety advocates are
disappointed and offended the B.C.
Liberal government won’t support
a National Inquiry into Missing and
Murdered Aboriginal Women.
Aboriginal Relations and
Reconciliation Minister Ida Chong
divulged the decision in her com-
ments at a recent National Aboriginal
Women’s Summit. This prompted
the BC Native Women’s Association
to send a protest letter to Premier
Christy Clark.
It explains support for an inde-
pendent Canada-wide inquiry has
been pledged by many provinces
and provincial, national and inter-
national organizations – on a list
that spans almost three pages – but
British Columbia’s support was nec-
essary for it to move forward.
Canim Lake Band (CLB) health
director Sheila Dick says she doesn’t
know who is pulling the ministry’s
strings, but at face value, it
seems Chong is “victimizing
her own gender.”
“A national inquiry, if sup-
ported, is a ‘foot in the door’
to establishing some policy
around the protection and
safety of [all] women.
“Where do we stand as a
gender? Are we not just as
important as the rest of the women
in Canada?”
While Dick’s position for the CLB
is in a health capacity, she has a
history of working extensively with
the problem and negative effects
of missing and murdered women
in First Nation communities. She
explains these unsolved crimes often
significantly affect the health and
well-being of the victims’ families.
Gail Edinger, who is the region-
al co-ordinator for the
Community Co-ordination
for Women’s Safety
(CCWS) Program, works
with the Ending Violence
Association of British
Columbia (EVABC), and a
South Cariboo resident.
She suspects the prov-
ince’s Missing Women
Commission of Inquiry, headed up
by commissioner Wally Oppal to
look at victims from Vancouver’s
East Side, is at the root of its lack of
support for a national inquiry.
“I would be speculating, but I’m
assuming the government feels they
have spent their dollars on the [pro-
vincial inquiry].
“[But] I think Oppal’s inquiry was
obsessively inadequate, and there
should be a federal inquiry.”
Dick adds the greatest num-
ber of the missing and murdered
Aboriginal women in Canada
is from B.C., and many of those
are not from Vancouver, but from
the Interior – such as those on the
Highway of Tears list.
In its failure to endorse the inqui-
ry, government is “victimizing” all
women across the province, she says.
“To me, it’s not only an attack
on Aboriginal women, but on rural
women. Just because we don’t live in
a larger area doesn’t mean we don’t Sheila Dick
Chase Mills, left, had the good fortune to be selected as the person to ride alongside Santa Claus in his sleigh during the South Cariboo Chamber of
Commerce Santa Parade on Nov. 23. The parade featured 32 entries and the Meridian RV float was deemed “Most Festive” by the chamber judges.

For two decades an annual holiday memo-rial by the 100 Mile & District Hospice Palliative Care Society has been keeping mem-ories alive.
Starting on Nov. 29 as part of the 22nd Annual Memory Tree Celebration, hospice volunteers will be sta-tioned at the Cariboo Mall in 100 Mile House where sym-bolic Christmas tree lightbulbs will be avail-able, as well as a book in which people can write the names of the ones they are remembering.
“The season is one of joy with family and friends, but very often someone is missing from the celebrations,” explains Caroline Sharpe of the 100 Mile & District Hospice Palliative Care Society.
“Everyone has mem-ories of someone they
care about who is no longer there.”
Volunteers will also be at the Cariboo Mall on Nov. 30 and Dec. 6 and Dec. 7.
On Dec. 13 at 6 p.m., the Memory Tree Celebration will be held in the 100 Mile District General Hospital caf-eteria near the Fischer Place entrance where the names of those remembered will be read aloud.
“There will be music
and readings and the tree outside the firehall across the road will come alive with lights. Those present share tears and compan-ionship and keep the memories alive,” said Sharpe.
Proceeds go to fund equipment for patients in the hospital or their homes, education for volunteers, books and DVD’s for the commu-nity and bereavement support groups which are held on a regular basis, Sharpe adds.
For more informa-tion, contact the hospice at 250-395-7680.

A recent survey states the majority of British Columbians are concerned about being diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease.
The poll, conducted jointly by Insights West and the Alzheimer Society of B.C., found 61 per cent of people living here – including 100 Mile House resi-dents – are concerned about getting the brain degenerative disease.
And 39 per cent of us know someone with Alzheimer’s.
“Age is the greatest known risk factor and our baby boomers, the largest demographic group in our popula-tion, have now started to enter the 65-plus years,” says Tara Hildebrand,
the society’s support and education co-ordi-nator for the Central Interior.
“There is still a lot we don’t know about the causes and we don’t have a cure, so it’s not a surprise that Alzheimer’s disease is ranked so high as a health concern.”
According to the study, it is the third most feared disease among B.C. residents after cancer (74 per cent) and heart dis-ease (69 per cent). This finding is particularly alarming, Hildebrand says, since the preva-lence of the disease is not as high in B.C. as cancer, heart disease or even diabetes.
A more encouraging
finding from the survey is 52 per cent of respon-dents believe there will be a cure found in the next 10 years. In the meantime, she says there needs to be more awareness and educa-tion about the disease.
Dementia is more than just memory loss and when inter-vention comes in the mid-to-late stages of the disease, “the reality of the impact is often unexpected and incred-ibly overwhelming as this heartbreaking ill-ness progresses.”
An early diagnosis means earlier access to support and medical treatments to help man-age the symptoms of the disease, she adds.
Earlier intervention
can also allow families to plan for and manage the challenges on the dementia journey with quality of life as a pri-ority.
Local families can call on Hildebrand for assistance at 250-377-8200 (toll free at 1-800-886-6946) or e-mail [email protected].
“While concern about being diagnosed with the disease is high, there is still more work to be done around the awareness and educa-tion about the disease,” she says.
The Charitable Giving study by Insights West found that although the Alzheimer Society of B.C. ranks high in terms of brand awareness among B.C. non-profit organiza-tions, only about 14 per cent of B.C. adults have made a donation to the Society in the past.
The good news is nearly double the number of adults who have heard of the organization express a willingness to donate to the cause in the future.
To learn more about the many ways to give to the Alzheimer Society of B.C. go to www.alzheim erbc.org and click on the “Donate” link at the top of the page.
