Children and Family Development Minister Stephanie Cadieux said the ministry accepts all the recommendations in the report, and is preparing a two-year action plan for mental health services that includes improved training of both social workers and foster parents. After consultations, including aboriginal communities and agencies, the plan is to be made public by February, Cadieux added. Report: suicidal youths go untreated

British Columbia’s child protection sys-tem has lost most of its ability to deal with severely abused, depressed and suicidal teens in provincial care, their independent advocate says.

A review of 89 cases by Representative for Children and Youth Mary Ellen Turpel-Lafond finds common circumstances of severe problems, notably mental illness, domestic violence, sexual and physical abuse, alcohol and drug abuse by young people or their par-ents, and running away to live on the streets.

All the cases are children who had contact with ministry social workers, and in some cases from infancy. Three-quarters of them were removed from their homes because their parents’ behaviour was a threat to them.

The study revealed they were shuffled to different group or foster homes an average of a dozen times, with some moving as much as 30 times in three years.

Fifteen of the children in the study killed themselves, and the other 74 severely injured themselves during the study period - 2007-2010. More than half were aboriginal.

The review found the youths, aged 12 to 19, were not assessed or treated for trauma, and caregivers are not trained to deal with mental illness or the effects of abuse.

Turpel-Lafond noted that while she admires the willingness of “mom and pop” foster par-ents to take in abused and mentally ill children, the turnover shows they can’t do the job without specialized training and a constant presence to help stabilize the teens’ home and school life.

“This is a pretty horrific foster-care system

for kids with mental health needs, and that’s something that we have to face. The govern-ment has to face down the fact [it has] mostly gutted therapeutic foster care over the last decade.”

Other risk factors identified in the study are learning disabilities and lack of attachment to school, and in one-third of the cases, a “signifi-cant romantic conflict” within 24 hours before killing or injuring themselves.

Children and Family Development Minister Stephanie Cadieux said the ministry accepts all the recommendations in the report, and is preparing a two-year action plan for mental health services that includes improved training of both social workers and foster parents.

The provincial gov-ernment has released more than half-a-dozen publications providing plain-language guid-ance on the application of PST and related exemptions, subject to approval of the leg-islature, that British Columbia businesses require to successfully

transition back to the PST.

As committed, the PST is being re-imple-mented on April 1, 2013, with all perma-nent exemptions.

Since Oct. 1, 2012,

the following notices and bulletins have been released and are avail-able at www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/topic.page?id=A6B801FB7ED54C76A922247EAFBCE5CB

Messages remind-ing Canadians to drive sober are a familiar and necessary feature of the holiday season.

Impairment behind the wheel is most often associated with alco-hol – the classic “Don’t drink and drive.”

However, impairment goes far beyond alcohol. Increasingly, motorists are gambling with their safety and the safety of others by knowingly driving under the influ-ence of drugs. These drugs include illegal substances, prescription medications and over-the-counter remedies.

This Canada Safety Council seeks to edu-cate Canadians that driving while under the influence of drugs is dangerous, irrespon-sible and becoming increasingly prevalent. It is posing a signifi-cant public safety risk that needs to be curbed through preventative measures, awareness and enforcement of appropriate penalties.

Serious injury, driv-er or passenger death, hurting bystanders, destroying property, lost productivity, more strain on the health-care system – these are just some of the unfor-

tunate and painful, but totally preventable consequences of driv-ing while impaired by drugs.

The Canadian Centre on Substance Abuse reports that in 2008, 36.7 per cent of fatal-ly injured drivers in Canada tested positive for impairing drugs. That’s more than one-in-three fatalities where

drugs played a role.This compares

with 40.8 per cent of driver fatalities where alcohol was the source of impairment. Among drivers killed who were tested for both drugs and alcohol, 15.1 per cent were found to be positive for both.

The most common drugs found in fatali-ties are central nervous

system depressants, cannabis, stimulants and narcotics. Female drivers are almost equally likely as males to test positive for drugs. Among fatally injured drivers 55 and older, drug use is more prevalent than alcohol.

Aware of licensing restrictions and ini-tiatives that catch and punish drunk drivers, some people are turning from alcohol to sub-stances, such as drugs, to achieve a high. As the statistics indicate, however, the outcomes are even more – not less – dangerous and deadly.

Drugged driving can have deadly outcomes

There is now a grow-ing body of 491 drug recognition experts (DRE) in Canada who exclusively work to enforce penalties for driving under the influ-ence of drugs. In cases where impairment by drugs is suspected, sobriety tests are being used to check for the source of impairment.

A DRE can be called in to access the condition of a suspected impaired driver and may collect

a swab, urine or blood sample. If the results come back positive for the suspected drug or drugs, charges can be laid under the Criminal Code of Canada.

The message: driv-ers operating under the influence of drugs stand a good chance of being caught, or worse – being involved in a deadly collision. It’s not worth the risk.

Much like curbing drunk driving, pro-active steps can and must be taken to stop

drugged driving before it happens.

Recommendations• Know the side-

effects of your medications. Read the inserts that come with your medications and speak with your phar-macist about the drugs’ possible impacts on your driving abilities.

• Be aware that drugs interact with each other. Review your list of medications with your pharmacist.

• As a host, monitor

your guests’ behaviour. If you suspect someone is impaired, speak up and make alternate, safe arrangements for trans-portation.

• Do not be a passen-ger in a vehicle where the driver is impaired. Make every safe effort to stop an impaired

person from operating a vehicle.

• Report impaired driving to the police.

Whether by drugs, alcohol, fatigue or some other contributing fac-tor, there is no excuse for impaired driving. Be responsible and be safe this holiday season.

Drivers need to be responsibleFrom 3

A new spam email bearing the brands of various shipping com-panies has recently surfaced.

The email highlights an unsuccessful delivery and suggests clicking on a link for more infor-mation. As holiday shoppers are expecting to receive more parcels, Canada Post reminds everyone to be vigilant because these emails could contain viruses.

Canada Post does not email customers

following an unsuccess-ful delivery attempt. To ensure protection against spammers and malware, Canada Post recommends the fol-lowing steps:

• If you are await-ing a parcel but did not specifically request a delivery update by email, delete the email.

• If you are not expecting a delivery, delete the email.

• Do not click on any link.

• Do not provide any

personal information requested by these emails.

Customers can follow the progress of their item by using the pack-age tracking number, either on canadapost.ca or through the Canada Post mobile app, which can be downloaded for free to all key mobile devices.

Barnett will be run-ning on her record and maintaining strong economy

Donna Barnett was acclaimed the BC Liberal Party’s candidate in Cariboo-Chilcotin for the 2013 election at a candidate selection meeting in Williams Lake on Nov. 21.

“I am running for re-election because I want to ensure my commu-

nity has a representative who will stand up for them and fight to keep the economy in British Columbia’s rural com-munities on track,” she says.

Barnett, who is the Parliamentary Secretary for Rural Communities and Development, was first elected in 2009. The former 100 Mile House mayor says she believes the next election will be

fought over which party is best suited to manage B.C.’s economy.

“B.C. is still sur-rounded by a fragile global economy, and we can’t risk the progress we have seen under the BC Jobs Plan by chang-ing course. People want to support a party that will fight for a growing economy, and we in the BC Liberal Party will do just that.”

Barnett says she is very outspoken in Victoria for the needs of rural B.C. and adds she has worked hard to support local industries such as ranching, forestry, min-ing, and tourism.

Since being elected, Barnett notes she has helped deliver a num-ber of improvements to her community, includ-ing new long-term care beds at both Fisher Place in 100 Mile House and Deni House in Williams Lake.

Kraft Canada has cancelled the 2013 Kraft Hockeyville competition due to the uncertainty resulting from the NHL lockout.

To take its place, Kraft has created a new program called Kraft Hockey Goes

On, which will award $1 million to Hockey C a n a d a - a f f i l i a t e d minor hockey associa-tions across Canada.

The program will recognize the top 5 hockey volunteers in Canada from submitted nominations and award

his or her club with $100,000; recognize an additional 20 volun-teers and award his or her club with $20,000; provide $100,000 to Hockey Canada to dis-tribute to Learn to Skate programs at the local level.

C o m m u n i t i e s can nominate local volunteers via the Internet by going to krafthockeygoeson.ca from Jan. 21 to March 8, 2013.

A panel will deter-mine the top 100 nominees and the pub-lic will be able to cast their votes beginning March 23. Winners will be announced on March 30.

Want to RentTO: Home owners, Property Managers, Real Estate Agents:I am a 47 year old woman that is permanently disabled and terminally ill. I am looking to help a home owner in the 100 Mile area.I am looking to move closer to town, as I currently live 25 minutes out of town, and would be easier on me to be closer to my doctors and therapy sessions. I am on a disability pension, therefore do not have much for rent, but I can make that up in keeping your home clean and secure.I would like to help out home-owners if they have had to leave their property unattend-ed and or up for sale as they live elsewhere. I would be able to look after your home and keep it clean and safe from any unwanted parties. I am still able to do small home pro-jects as well, i.e. Painting, as well if you are in need of any improvements.I do have two dogs, they are older and they have a great re-spect of protecting me and the property I reside in. They do like cooler to sleep and would be happy in a garage at night.I do have my own furnishings, gardening tools etc. I would like to live in at least a two bedroom rancher style home. This would be ideal, but not a deal breaker. I do have a wheel chair that I haven’t had to use that often and would be easier to get around if I did need to use it. I would also like a fenced in yard for the dogs. If this interests anyone please send me an email at:

[email protected]. I hope I will fi nd the right homeowner to help.

By Tom FletcherBlack Press

Returning to the old Provincial Sales Tax (PST) next April 1 will increase paperwork for British Columbia busi-nesses and cost them Harmonized Sales Tax (HST) credits on equip-ment and other inputs, the legislature finance committee reminded the B.C. Liberal govern-ment Nov. 14.

After its annual tour of the province to get input on the 2013 bud-get, the committee urged Finance Minister Mike de Jong to consider its expert panel recom-mendations to ease the impact on business of scrapping the HST.

Some industry asso-ciations want the government to provide a tax credit that would compensate them for the PST they will have to pay on purchases of machinery and equip-ment. Those taxes were lifted under the HST, which recovered reve-nue by extending seven per cent sales taxes to a range of consumer ser-

vices that won’t be taxed starting next spring.

The finance commit-tee was also asked to consult the public on a “made-in-B.C. value-added tax” that would accomplish some of the goals of the HST under another name. That would be a volatile dis-cussion to begin with a provincial election set for May 14, 2013.

The administrative burden of the switch starts with businesses reprogramming cash registers and other sys-tems to go back to two separate sales taxes.

The switch to the HST in 2010 revealed some national retailers were not accurately applying the B.C. sales tax, which has decades of accumu-lated exemptions and rules that don’t apply in other provinces.

The finance ministry has been working on a system to allow busi-nesses to register online for the return of the PST, and to train owners of thousands of business-es that have started up since the HST conver-sion in 2010.

The ministry has set up a website for busi-nesses to manage the transition at www.pstin-bc.ca

The finance commit-tee has also endorsed a widespread busi-ness call to balance the provincial budget start-ing next spring. The effects of the worldwide

financial crisis of 2008 pushed B.C.’s books into the red, and defi-cits continued this year as B.C. had to repay a $1.6 billion HST transi-tion fund provided by Ottawa.

The B.C. Chamber of Commerce and other groups also called on the finance commit-

tee to ease the burden of B.C.’s carbon tax. Grain growers, green-house operators and cement manufacturers have called for relief from carbon tax on fuels, arguing that it puts them at a competi-tive disadvantage with Alberta, Washington and other jurisdictions.

People will have a chance to get some Christmas shopping done and support artisans in develop-ing countries at the Ten Thousand Villages world craft fair.

The sale takes place from Nov. 28 to Dec. 1 at Marmot Ridge Golf Course with a multi-tude of hand-crafted items, which have come from around the globe.

This year’s new co-ordinator Laura Baerg has been busy unpack-ing dozens of boxes filled with goods, including baskets, pottery, cof-fees, teas, spices, jewelry, scarves, kitchen items, Christmas ornaments and dark chocolate.

“There are some real-ly beautiful and unique things,” she says.

All Ten Thousand Villages goods are procured through fair trade, which enables under-employed and unemployed artisans to earn an equitable income and improve their quality of life.

A fair price paid for their products ensures the artisans are properly compensated for their

labour and materials. Normally, they receive a 50 per cent payment as a cash advance to help meet expenses and the remaining 50 per cent is paid upon delivery of the goods.

Ten Thousand Villages then takes care of marketing the items through its own stores or markets.

Ten Thousand Villages is a nonprofit, charitable organization that has been named as one of the “World’s Most Ethical Companies” by the Ethisphere Institute

and Forbes Magazine three times.

Baerg says she is anx-ious for people to come

out and support the sale.

“Just knowing that with every purchase, you are truly changing lives makes it worth-while.”

Hours for the sale are from 5 to 8 p.m. on Nov.

28; Nov. 29-30 from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.; and Dec. 1 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

To gain an idea of what might be found there, check out the Ten Thousand Villages website at www.ten thousandvillages.com.
