Students in Grades 3-7 participated in the annual event, which saw 100 Mile House Elementary School bring home the Golden Running Shoe trophy, as winner of the large schools division, while Bridge Lake Elementary School won the small schools category.

March well attended and powerfulKen AlexanderFree Press

This year’s international Take Back the Night march was combined with the nation-al Sisters in Spirit Vigils: A movement for social change event in 100 Mile House on Oct. 4.

The 100 Mile House & District Women’s Centre Society, the Canim Lake Band (CLB), White Feather Family Centre and Wellness Centre hosted the event, which attract-ed around 85 marchers.

Women’s Centre Stop the Violence counsellor Karen Beresford said this year’s Take Back the Night’s theme was “Shatter the Silence, Stop the Violence,” and the focus this year was “Honouring the Lives of Missing and Murdered Women,” in conjunction with the Native Women’s Association of Canada.

“I think there were 80-85 people at the walk and about 60 stayed for the meal and presentations. It was definitely our best showing yet.

“The walk was wonderful

with the members of the Canim Lake Band drumming prior to, and all the way through, the walk.”

Sheila Dick, one of the key organizers and CLB health administrator, says the event was “very emotional.”

She adds there were more than 100 cities and communi-ties celebrating the vigils on Oct. 4.

“No other event in Canada brings so many Aboriginal communities and Canadian citizens together to specifically celebrate, honour and support

Aboriginal women and girls.”After the walk around town,

most of the marchers went to the boardroom in the South Cariboo Business Centre where it was standing room only.

Family members were invit-ed to light candles in memory of a missing or murdered loved ones from this area. There were 13 candles lit.

Those candles stayed lit all evening, Dick says.

“They came up and lit a candle and said the name of

Influenza, com-monly known as the flu, is a highly conta-gious infection of the airways caused by the influenza virus.

“Some people think influenza is a mild ill-ness, but it can be a very serious illness in some people,” says Dr. Susan Bowles, Immunize Canada chair.

“While most peo-ple recover within a week or two, peo-ple over 65 years of age and children or adults with underly-ing chronic conditions can have more seri-ous complications like pneumonia.”

About 10 to 20 per cent of Canadians are infected with influ-enza each year. The highest rates of influ-enza infection are seen in children, but rates of serious illness and death are highest in older persons and those with underlying medical conditions.

Other groups at high risk include preg-nant women, people who are morbidly obese, people living in nursing homes and Aboriginal people.

Studies repeatedly demonstrate influ-enza immunization reduces the number of hospitalizations and visits to health-care providers and is effective in preventing influenza-associated deaths.

All children from six months to five years of age, people 65 years of age and older, people at any age with chronic medical con-ditions placing them at risk of influenza-related complications, and people capable of transmitting influenza to high risk individuals should be immunized for influenza.

The best time to get immunized against influenza is October through to December, but it is never too late to be immunized dur-ing influenza season.

All Canadians are encouraged to talk to their doctor, nurse, pharmacist or public health office about getting this year’s influenza vaccine.

K a m l o o p s -Thompson-Cariboo Cathy McLeod, who is the parliamentary secretary for Revenue Canada, reminds all university students going back to school to save their receipts.

“If you’re moving for school this year, you may be able to claim a tax deduction for moving expenses when you file your income tax and ben-efit return. You may also be able to claim

a non-refundable tax credit based on the cost of your tran-sit passes. So don’t forget to keep your receipts.

“In addition, there are other benefits and non-refundable tax credits students may be eligible to claim. Non-refundable tax credits reduce your federal tax; however, if the total of these credits is more than your federal tax, you will not get a refund

for the difference.”• Education

amount: You may be able to claim a full-time education amount of $400, or part-time amount of $120, for each month or part of a month in the year during which you were enrolled in a qualifying program at the post-secondary level.

• Textbook amount: You may be able to claim a text-book amount for each

month you qualify for the education amount.

• Tuition amount: You may be able to claim the fees you pay for the courses taken at the post-secondary level or at an edu-cational institution certified by Human Resources and Skills Development Canada. To qualify you must have paid more than $100 in tuition fees for the year.

• Interest on stu-dent loans: You may be eligible to claim an amount for the interest paid in 2012 or the preceding five years on your student loan if you received it under the Canada Student Loans Act, the Canada Student Financial Assistance Act, or a similar pro-vincial or territorial government laws.

• Goods and Services Tax/Harmonized Sales Tax (GST/HST) credit: The GST/HST credit is a tax-free

quarterly payment that helps individuals and families with low or modest incomes.

“For all those requiring additional information, I encour-age you to visit www.cra.gc.ca/students.”

Back to school: ‘save your receipts’

The British Columbia Coroners Service is warning parents of infants about the potential dan-gers of using co-sleepers, a type of crib that attaches to the side of an adult bed.

The warning comes after an extensive investigation into the death of a 10-month-old Surrey girl who died last year after becoming trapped between the co-sleeper and the adult bed.

In April 2011, Health Canada issued a recall notice for the most common type of co-sleep-er – the “Original and Universal Co-Sleeper” manufactured by California-based Arm’s Reach Concepts.

Since that time, the co-sleepers have not been available through normal retail outlets in Canada,

but many used ones are still found for sale at garage sales and through websites, such as Craigslist. It is still possible to purchase the co-sleepers in the United States.

In its recall notice, Health Canada specifically noted the danger that an infant sleeping in one “can become entrapped between the edge of the mattress and the side of the sleeper. This poses a risk of suffocation.”

The coroner’s investigation found this was precisely what had happened in the little girl’s death.

She had been placed on her back in the co-sleeper, but when found she was face-down wedged

Reading is some-thing that is often taken for granted, but people can lose their ability to read because of vision loss, various health reasons, and some just have dif-ficulty reading.

The Canadian Council of the Blind (CCB) 100 Mile House & District Chapter White Cane Club will be holding an infor-mation session about accessing books in alternate formats,

which includes large-print material and audio books.

The free session takes place at 100 Mile House Branch Library on Oct. 12, from 1 to 3 p.m. Refreshments will be provided.

This fall will see the latest intake of the Community Infrastructure Impro-vement Fund (CIIF) program offered by Western Economic D i v e r s i f i c a t i o n Canada.

Eligible projects will include improve-ments to existing infrastructure, includ-ing community and cultural centres, parks, libraries, recreation facilities and tourism facilities with up to a $500,000 total cost.

The funding is aimed at “shovel-ready” projects that include accessibility, safety and sustain-ability upgrades.

Applicants must also obtain funding from other non-feder-al government sources to match the CIIF con-tribution of 50 per

cent of the total project costs, to a maximum of $250,000.

However, appli-cants seeking less than $250,000 in CIIF funding will receive priority in the alloca-tions of these federal dollars.

A wide range of groups are eligible to apply, including non-profit orga-nizations, local governments and First Nations, which have eligible project proposals.

Applications for the funding can be submitted until Nov. 19, after which they will all be assessed. All project work must be com-pleted prior to March 31, 2014.

the person. It was very personal and I think it added to the reality.”

Beresford notes Dick talked about the fact there are at least 582 women missing or murdered women across Canada, and the majority of them are in British Columbia.

“She talked about a need to unite to fight the problem and that we need our fathers, brothers, uncles, and grandfathers to help us in our fight.”

Dick says the Canim Lake Wellness Centre women’s group provided the meal of chili and bannock to share with everyone who attended.

After the meal, she says they watch the video, Survival, Strength, Sisterhood: Power of Women in the Downtown Eastside.

“Even though it was documented in downtown eastside Vancouver, I told the gathering a lot of the women are not from there. They’re from throughout B.C. and Canada.

“So, a lot of those women are from communities much like ours.”

Then two youth, Stanley Daniels and

Catriona Henderson, read the joint state-ment from Sisters in Spirit Vigils: A movement for social change, put togeth-er by the Native Women’s Association of Canada.

CLB Chief Mike Archie spoke about the strength of women in the com-munity and the need for the men of their community to sup-port the women.

District of 100 Mile House Councillor Bill

Hadden told an emo-tional story about his family, Dick explains.

“It meant a lot to the organizers to have a city councillor there because I don’t know if we get the support or representation that we need.”

100 Mile House RCMP Const. Claire Myers spoke about the Keep Safe Registry, which is a voluntary DNA and

fingerprint registry for anyone (male or female) who wishes to participate. It is an investigative tool for the RCMP to use in a missing person or wrongful death situ-ation.

The tool is fully confidential and sealed until the par-ticipant goes missing or becomes a victim of a homicide.

Gail Edinger, the regional co-ordinator for the Co-ordination for Women’s Safety, sent a letter, which Beresford read because Edinger could not attend.

“Essentially, it spoke to the need to keep each other safe, and to continue to push the police to look into the deaths of so many women.”

Beresford then read a poem, I’ll Rise, by Dr. Jean Leonard.

Says Dick: “I think that what made the evening was we had people there with their babies and right up to the Elders, and our chief made the effort to attend, drum and speak.

“One of the rea-

sons I wanted to do this with the wom-en’s centre is because we need to move it to the forefront in town. I feel we don’t have enough support for some of its activities.”

According to WorkSafeBC, young males under the age of 25 are at the highest risk for a workplace injury and the number 1 danger facing these young work-ers is lifting objects. With this in mind, the Physiotherapy Association of BC has put together a few tips on how to lift objects safely to

prevent injury.• Warm up and

plan before you lift. To get your blood flowing and your joints lubricated, do some practice squats, heel lifts and arm cir-cles first.

Plan ahead for your path of lift-ing; think twice, lift once. Check to make sure the surface area is not slippery or uneven.

• Lift with your legs not your back. Stand as close as possible to the item you are lifting. Place feet shoulder width apart and bend at the knees, not the waist so you use your legs and core rather than your back to lift. If the item is big and heavy, get help or use a dolly.

• Wear proper footwear. When

you’re planning on lifting something, wear good shoes with low heels, not sandals, high heels or flip-flops. Don’t twist when you lift, move your feet to the new position.

• Control the weight, don’t let it

control you. If you are lifting more than one thing, balance the weight equally between both hands; don’t lift a heavy item with one hand and a light item with the other. Plant your feet and lower your cen-tre of gravity.

The 100 Mile Free Press is looking for pictures of your friends or loved ones who served Canada during war times in the Canadian Armed Forces.

The Free Press will honour all of our War Heroes who served to defend our land, Canada. Our freedoms and rights that we cherish, we owe to them. In recognition of them, we will publish their pictures in a Remembrance Day Supplement in our November 7, 2012 edition. Deadline for submission of pictures is October 26, 2012. Photos must be submitted each year to ensure room for new submissions.

We urge you to dig through those old photo albums and bring your pictures and a brief 20 word history along with years of service to Ken Alexander, editor of the 100 Mile Free Press.

We can reproduce black & white or colour photos up to 8 1/2” x 11”. Please write name and phone number on back of each picture. Pictures can be picked up after November 12, 2012.

Ideal and unique solutions for:• real estate • property development • resorts • hotels• event photography • tourist attractions • restaurants

Planning a vacation or even a small getaway trip on weekend?

While away, be smart with your power and cut down on electricity use and costs.

Vacation check list:• Turn off your lights. Set up

some energy-efficient lamps on timers for security and use photo sensors or motion detectors for outdoor lights.

• Consider emptying your fridge and freezer completely and then unplugging them if you’ll be away over an extend-ed period of time. For shortertrips, try filling old containers with water to improve your fridge’s efficiency. Having an empty fridge or freezer requires more energy to cool the empty spaces.

• Unplug all TVs, stereos and all related components, except your set top box/VCR if you

plan to record shows while you are away. Consider using an ENERGY STAR® set top box.

• Set electric heaters to the lowest temperature. For gas water heaters, you can use the vacation setting.

• Make sure to turn off air conditioners and ceiling fans. To minimize heat entering your home, draw your blinds and close other window coverings.

• Anything with a clock – for example microwave ovens or coffee machines - uses electricity, so remember to unplug these appliances to diminish “phan-tom” load.

• Many electronics still draw power even when they are in an off state. Unplug all non-essen-tial devices, like phone chargers. An average Canadian household wastes $43 a year due to standby power.

Grillers will use any excuse to go out-side for those special barbecued meals.

Whether you’re grilling in the com-fort of your own backyard or while camping, you should know that using nat-ural gas or portable propane appliances safely requires some care and preparation.

Every year, injuries, property damage and some-times more serious consequences hap-pen due to misuse of gas-fired equipment. However, incidents, such as fires, burns, and carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning, can be avoided by using a few simple safety precautions.

The BC Safety Authority (BCSA) is asking campers and grillers to inspect gas equipment prior to use and be aware carbon monoxide is a colourless, odour-less, toxic gas that can cause flu-like symp-toms and even death.

Never use gas equipment in enclosed spaces and refer to the manufac-turer’s manual for maintenance and safe operating require-ments.

Here are the BCSA’s top 3 safety reminders:

• Portable gas appliances must only be used outside where there is ample ventilation; not in tents, RVs, cabins,

houses, apartments or any type of indoor space, as this can lead to deadly carbon monoxide poisoning or fire.

• It is critical to never leave children unattended around gas-fired equipment.

• Ensure your pro-pane appliances and cylinders are in good working order.

The BCSA web-site provides more information about camping and grilling safety and CO safety at www.safetyauthor ity.ca/sites/default/files/GrillingSafety Checklist.pdf, or www.safetyauthority.ca/carbon-monoxide.

When grilling, do it safely

Help for today.Hope for

Tomorrow.Call 1-800-667-3742

With cooler fall temperatures arriv-ing, households across the province will begin turning on furnaces, fireplaces and other gas appli-ances that may have been idle throughout the summer.

In anticipation of this change of sea-sons, the BC Safety Authority is urging British Columbians to be aware of the dangers of carbon monoxide (CO) and to take measures to keep themselves and their families safe.

All homeowners with gas appliances, including boilers, furnaces, hot water tanks, stoves, dry-ers and fire places, should have those appliances inspected and serviced annu-ally by a licensed contractor as part of their home’s regular maintenance routine.

In addition, all households should be equipped with Canadian approved CO detectors.

CO detectors are mandatory in new home construction, but may not be pres-ent in older homes. CO detectors are as important as smoke detectors to your fam-ily’s safety and can be easily installed in any home.

Carbon monoxide is a colourless, odourless gas that is pro-duced by burning car-bon fuels, such as propane, nat-ural gas, wood, charcoal, alcohol, kerosene or gasoline. Exposure to CO inter-feres with the body’s ability to absorb oxy-gen, which can result in serious illness or death.

Symptoms of carbon monoxide poi-soning can include: light headedness, headaches, nausea, fatigue, chest pains, vomiting, convul-

sions, confusion, and diz-ziness. Other signs to watch for include: condensation on win-dows, plants dying, and having an entire family sick at the same time.

At particular risk are children who are more rapidly affect-ed by CO at lower exposure levels than

adults, and seniors living at home who

may not be as likely to have a regular appliance main-tenance routine or whose expo-sure symptoms

may be mistakenly attributed to other

health issues.If you suspect

carbon monoxide exposure, leave the building immediate-

ly, call 9-1-1, and seek medical attention.

For more informa-tion about carbon monoxide poisoning and gas appliance safety, as well as information about how to choose the appropriate CO detector or locate a licensed gas contrac-tor in your area, visit www.safetyauthority.ca/carbon-monoxide
