LOCAL FOOD PROCUREMENT POLICIES BENEFICIAL TO PATIENTS AND REGIONAL ECONOMY

Putting in place poli-cies that promote local food pro-curement by gov-ernment-funded hospitals will benefit patients and the regional economy, says BC New Democrat leader Adrian Dix.

The Fraser Valley has some of the best agricultural land in BC. It is also home to one of the provinces largest health authorities, serving a patient population of 1.6 million and growing. How-ever, there is still no formal relationship between the two: FOI documents reveal that there are no formal poli-cies in place that involve the provincial government us-ing its purchasing power to promote locally grown food in area hospitals, though they neighbor key areas of the Agricultural Land Re-serve, said Dix. ??

Joined by local Abbotsford NDP candidates Lakhvinder Jhaj (Abbotsford South) and Sukhi Dhami (Abbotsford West), the BC New Demo-crat leader explained how such a local food procure-

ment policy is beneficial on several grounds.

Fresh produce, fruit, and meat not only render a lower carbon footprint, they are also more appetizing to patients. Though good nu-trition is key to helping pa-tients experience a full and stable recovery from surgery and illness, recent surveys show that satisfaction with food served at acute care hospitals in the Fraser Val-ley requires significant im-provement.

Local food procurement by government funded agen-cies also boosts the regions economy. It helps build a domestic market essential to sustaining and growing our agriculture sector, and gen-erates a significant multipli-er effect. Recent studies on food procurement complet-ed by Harvard University state that money spent at a local farm circulates within that community between six and fifteen times, support-ing local farms, businesses, people, and communities.

The recently released Free-dom of Information docu-

ments also show that the Fraser Health Authority does not track where food is currently sourced from, information necessary to creating a buy local policy.

Elsewhere, 33 states and provinces, such as Ontario, already have policies in place for government-fund-ed bodies to use their insti-tutional buying power to support and promote locally grown and processed food.

A recent acute care patient survey conducted by the Fraser Health Authority reiterates that patient food needs to be improved sig-nificantly. Only 54 per cent of those who responded rated food served at area hospitals satisfactory.

Along with small business advocates and health and public policy experts, Dix and the New Democrats support hospitals and resi-dential care facilities, espe-cially those located near ag-ricultural areas, to increase their local procurement of fruit, produce and other BC grown and processed food.

Upset stomach? Indiges-tion? Medically, its func-tional dyspepsia and it can cause pain, heartburn, bloating, belching and/or nausea. Once serious causes are ruled out, there are things you can do to manage the symptoms. Eat small portions more fre-quently and chew slowly & thoroughly, avoid chew-ing gum, sodas & trigger foods, reduce stress, get plenty of rest and manage your weight.

People who suffer from Crohns Disease can ben-efit from keeping a food diary to help identify trig-ger foods which aggra-vate their condition. Dairy products are a common trigger which can increase diarrhea, abdominal pain and gas. Fatty foods are

often not well-digested and can lead to diarrhea as well. Also, watch for gassy foods, (cabbage, beans, fruit), spicy foods, alcohol and caffeine.

Inf lammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) includes Crohns Disease and Ul-cerative Colitis. These can be extremely painful conditions and the cause is not well-understood. Recently, a study found that those living in south-ern states had a 52% lower rate of Crohns and 38% lower rate of colitis! The results suggest the role of sunshine/vitamin D in im-munity and the inflamma-tory responses that lead to these conditions.

In Scotland, another study has discovered that friend-

ly bacteria in the gastroin-testinal tract were 30 times lower in patients with coli-tis compared to healthy people. The researchers then developed a probiotic to treat the colitis patients and found it significantly reduced the pain and dis-comfort to near normal levels. Ongoing research may result in a new mode of therapy.

Chronic conditions such as Crohns and colitis can be very wearing on the sufferer. Often, a few small changes to lifestyle can make a big difference. Talk to our pharmacists for helpful tips.

Premier Christy Clark issued the following statement on the birth of

Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji:

I want to extend greet-ings and best wishes to all those celebrating the birth of Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji, the founder of the Sikh religion and an ambassador of peace and unity for human beings around the world.

Today is an opportunity to honour an individual who promoted the prin-ciples of equality for all people, the value of ser-vice to your community

and the merits of living an honest life - ideals shared by all British Co-lumbians.

As we commemorate the birth of the founder of Sikhism, we also cel-ebrate our provinces rich cultural diversity, one that welcomes new ideas, accepts old tradi-tions and contributes to all of our success. By celebrating the birth of Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji, we preserve the culture and heritage of others, enrich our lives in the process and expand our understanding of what it is to be human.

On behalf of all British Columbians, I congratu-late all those celebrat-ing the birth of Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji.

The use of fireworks is still a major concern and illegal in our communi-ties. In Abbotsford, over 50 pounds was seized during Halloween by Ab-botsford Fire & Rescue. On this day, I had to walk over to the neighbours and ask them politely to stop firing their missiles over peoples homes for safety reasons. The answer I re-ceived in return from the father of the kids using them was, Dont worry, theyre being careful.

Also, during Diwali explosions could be heard loud and clear from all over causing much discomfort for residents and animals. My dog was terrified and ran from room to room for hours barking non stop, this was very unfortunate for him. Since we all live in this town, we need to think about our neighbours and the people who live around us. I dont care if its Halloween or any other celebration, the fact remains that fireworks are illegal. We as a community jointly need to address this issue.

My girlfriend and I had the opportu-nity of attending the Sada Virsa Sada Gaurav Bhangra Club talent show last week as judges in Abbotsford. The students prepared speeches on Diwali and Sikh Soldiers in the Cana-dian Army. This club is a non-profit

organization which promotes Punjabi culture through teaching Punjabi folk dance such as Bhangra and Gid-hha, and Punjabi cultural values. SVSG Bhangra Club was formed in 2001 by Jasbir Singh Pannu. Pannu said, Sada Virsa Sada Gaurav en-forces a drug-free message, hoping to instill enough self-respect and confidence in the young dancers to resist the temptation to engage in drug and gang activity that may lure them in their teens.

The team of judges were extremely impressed at the childrens talents and the time and effort they put into each topic. Selecting a winner was not an easy task. This evening was full of culture, joy and celebrations.

I like to make special mention of two people in our community that went out of their way to make the lives of others better. I dont know their names but their actions speak louder than words. A couple weeks ago an ad was put in this paper regarding a miniature schnauzer that had been lost and picked up. The lady who picked the dog up made every ef-fort to find the so that they could be reunited with their pet. Im pleased to share that through her diligence in trying to something good, the own-

ers read the ad and were able to be reconnected with their dog.

Just this past week I gave an an-niversary card to my girlfriend. She placed it in her purse and was running around town doing errands and it ac-cidentally fell out. She later realized it was missing and called one of the shops. Thankfully it was picked up by someone and left in one of the shops to be picked up. We are both grateful to the woman who took the time to do this and now we have it back.

Taking the time to do a good deed, even when you dont know a person can mean a great deal.

Let me introduce you to Mr Rajni-kant. He is the God of Tamil (a South Indian language) cinema, the undisputed king at the age of 61. Rajinikanth is an Indian film actor, media personality, and a cultural icon. Recently Issac Newton made a visit to earth to watch a movie. He watched a few Tamil movies and had his head spinning. He was convinced that all his logic and laws in physics were just a huge pile of junk and apologized for everything he had done.

In the movie of Rajani-kanth, Newton was con-fused to such an extent that he went paranoid.

Here are a few scenes:

1) Rajanikanth has a Brain Tumor which, ac-cording to the doctors cant be cured and his death is imminent. In one of the fights, our great Rajanikanth is shot in the head. To everybodys surprise, the bullet passes through his ears taking away the tumor along with it and he is cured. Long Live Rajanikanth.

2) In one of the mov-ies, Rajanikanth is con-fronted with 3 gangsters. Rajanikanth has a gun but unfortunately only

one bullet. Guess what he does....... He holds a knife in his hand and throws at the middle gangster & shoots the bullet towards the knife. The knife cuts the bullet into 2 pieces and kills both the gang-sters on each side of the middle gangster & the knife kill the middle one.

3) Rajanikanth is chased by a gangster. Rajani-kanth has a revolver but he got no bullets in it. Guess what he does. Nah not even in your remotest imaginations. He waits for the gangster to shoot. As soon as the gang-ster shoots, Rajanikanth opens the bullet com-partment of his revolver and catches the bullet. Then, he closes the bullet compartment and fires his gun. Bang... And the gangster dies....

This was too much for our dear Newton to take and he was completely shaken and he decided to go back to heaven. But he happened to see another movie for one last time and thought that at least one movie will follow his theory of physics. The whole movie was near the end and all actions were running logically. Newton was happy that all in the world hasnt changed.

Oops not so fast. The Climax finally arrived.

Rajanikanth gets to know that the villain is on the other side of a very high wall. So high that Rajani-kanth cant jump even if he tries like one of those superman techniques that our heroes normally use. Rajanikanth has to des-perately kill the villain because its the climax.

Newton was smiling since it was virtually impossible.

Rajanikanth suddenly pulls two guns from his pocket (He is capable of pulling out anything from anywhere). He throws one gun in the air and when the gun has reached the height of the wall, he shoots at the trigger of the first gun in air, with his second gun. Now the first gun fires off and the villain is dead.

Newton commits sui-cide........!!!!

Deficit pressure requires continued spending controlThe government of B.C. is holding the line on fiscal prudence and con-tinues to reduce and control govern-ment spending to address declining revenues, Finance Minister Michael de Jong said today with the release of the Second Quarterly Report.

The projected deficit for 2012-13 is $1.47 billion, a $328-million increase from the First Quarterly Report due primarily to the change in the completion date of the sale of

the Little Mountain property. Higher revenues from personal and corpo-rate income taxes resulting from higher tax assessments in 2011 are offset by decreased revenues from property tax and property transfer tax, and a decline in coal prices. Overall revenue is down $202 mil-lion from the First Quarterly Report projection.

Ministries continue to reduce dis-cretionary spending to mitigate the

$241-million impact of the natural gas market on revenues. Govern-ment has identified $176 million so far this year and is on target to find the remaining $65 million re-quired, including through savings in government operations such as travel and discretionary spending, freezing salaries for public sector management, and continuing the public service hiring freeze. Despite numerous changes in components of the 2012-13 forecast, there is no

increase to overall projected government spending in 2012-13 compared to the fore-cast in the First Quarterly Report.

B.C. will maintain a forecast allowance of $100 million as a buffer against future economic and fiscal risks. This allowance has been reduced $50 million from the First Quarterly Report, as the risks to the forecast will have a reduced impact midway through the fiscal year.

At $6.9 billion, total capital spending is pro-jected to be $152 million lower than Budget 2012. The taxpayer-supported debt forecast stands at $38.47 billion$205 million lower than the projection in the First Quarterly Report, reflecting lower borrowing for op-erating purposes. The lower debt reduces the taxpayer-supported debt to GDP ratio by 0.1 percentage point from the First Quarterly Report to 17 per cent.

B.C. remains on track for re-implementation of the PST on April 1, 2013, with all previ-ously permanent exemptions in place. Gov-ernment has released several publications for B.C. businesses providing plain-language guidance on the application of PST and related exemptions, subject to approval of the legislature. Businesses are also being encouraged to register for the PST starting on Jan. 2, 2013.

See the attached backgrounder for more on the transition to PST, and visit: www.PSTinBC.ca

Quotes:

Minister of Finance Michael de Jong

Weve had to make some tough choices in order to protect the B.C. economy, cre-ate jobs and make life more affordable for families. We have successfully controlled spending, currently below the average rate of growth for the last 10 years, and we did it while protecting investments in priority programs like health care and education.

We continue to monitor the fiscal and eco-nomic situation closely and are assessing our spending and revenues thoroughly as part of the budget process. Given what we know today, we intend to balance the budget in 2013-14. When I consulted the Economic Forecast Council a couple weeks ago, they expressed cautious optimism that B.C.s real GDP growth will slightly outperform the Canadian average in 2013. We will re-survey them again in January to ensure we incorporate the most up to date information in Budget 2013.

Record-breaking year for family support program

Efforts by B.C.s Family Mainte-nance Enforce-ment Program are pay-ing off, as 2011-12 fam-ily support collections hit a record $190 mil-lion, helping to make a significant difference in the lives of many fami-lies provincewide.

In its annual report re-leased today, the Family Maintenance Enforce-ment Program (FMEP), which monitors and enforces family sup-port court orders and agreements for more than 45,000 families, recorded a $10.5-million jump in collection from the previous year. This is the largest single annual increase the program has ever seen, and more than doubles the average annual increase over the past 10 years.

Increased use of tech-nology, small regula-tion changes, focused resources and strong reciprocal relationships with other provinces and countries all have contributed to the re-cord-setting collection numbers.

Since its inception in 1988, the FMEP has helped to ensure that over $2.6 billion in child and spousal support pay-ments, money which might not have other-wise been paid, went directly to the children and families entitled to receive it.

Monetary penalties are imposed on those indi-viduals who are regis-tered in the program and are delinquent in making their payments through FMEP. These fees, along with the $18 million the

program is estimated to have saved government in income assistance costs this year, make the FMEP a cost-neutral program.

The FMEP aligns with BCs Family Agenda. Under BCs Family Agenda, government is working to support and protect vulnerable families, keep commu-nities safe and make life more affordable. To read the Agenda, share your ideas or provide feedback, visit: www.FamiliesFirstBC.ca

Quick Facts:

Approximately 84,000 parents are currently enrolled in the FMEP and support payments are received for almost 65,000 children.

In 55 per cent of FMEP cases, the children are

over 14 years old. About one case in five has a child aged 19 or older, which illustrates how the program can play a role in ensuring that children are able to con-tinue their post-second-ary education and enter the workforce.

Since the programs inception in 1988, pay-ments totalling more than $2.6 billion have been collected.

Since 2002, the total annual amount of child and spousal support pay-ments received through the FMEP has increased by over $50 million. Twenty-three per cent of the payments collected last year (almost $44 million) went to fami-lies that were formerly on income assistance. The payments received by these families are a

significant contributor to their transition to be-coming self-sufficient.

Last year, the program processed over 500,000 individual payments (more than 2,000 per day), with a turnaround time standard of two days or less.

B.C. residents with a support order or an agreement filed with the court can enrol in the FMEP. There is no cost to enrol.

As most of B.C.s inter-provincial cases are with other western provinces, B.C. has led a project with Alberta and Sas-katchewan to ensure that support enforce-ment services continue uninterrupted if a parent moves across the respec-tive borders, helping families that rely on sup-port for their children.

Innovative services, such as comprehensive web services that include e-notices for parents, online assistance for employers, electronic fund transfer and secure information exchange with other jurisdictions, have resulted in over one million web hits per year, helped to reduce costs and produce better results for B.C. families.

Recent changes to the law governing the FMEP have eliminated one of the major delays in processing requests for enrolment. Since the requirement to wait for a copy of an enforce-ment agreement before processing a request has been eliminated, FMEP staff have been able to re-duce the number of files awaiting court orders by 23 per cent in the last four months of the year alone.

Things will only work if you have taken care of the details. Dont try to push anything that refuses to fall into place. Someone elses desires could be interfering here and it means they have put a lot more planning into creating this resistance. It is also more likely that your ideas have been broad and more futuristic that theirs.

You should focus on anything you enjoy that seems to have gone by the wayside. Be determined to bring this back into your future, no matter how much seems to be expected of you from others. You need to be careful that your individuality is not stifled by the obligations someone else expects you to take on. It can be draining.

You are now at a turning point with any personal matters that have been going backwards rather than forward since early October. This is the stage of beginning to work out how you can turn things around. Be prepared for slow progress until late January then you will move ahead. Intuition is accentuated, so take notice.

The actions of others will tell you more about how they are thinking than anything else. Your own thinking processes can be quite analytical and this will often be converted into your conversations. Someone could be impressed though they may wonder where things will head in the long term. This is their confusion, not yours.

You need to think before you spend by analysing just how useful anything will be in the long term particularly on a daily basis. If it just seems a nice thing to do or buy, it is probably best forgotten. Catching up with people you have not seen in quite a while could be very enjoyable. They could also surprise you in some way.

You should not be shy about insisting that your wishes should be taken into account, particularly in situations where this is generally not the case. You can be luckier than you expect on this score, mainly because of the element of surprise coming from you. If you want to reverse obligations, now is the time to act.

Any annoyance you feel about somebody else is best kept to yourself, especially if they expect you to organise things their way. They are probably not as confident as they want you to believe when it comes to the responsibilities attached. This could become a regular routine if you are not careful, so think carefully before proceeding

Something you need to be committed to personally and how this will affect daily routine or be managed on a daily basis will not be easy to reconcile. You can worry about it taking the fun out of things. What this can force you to do is look at your priorities in life more closely. Financial costs involved can also be a big factor.

You can feel at the mercy of others but that is beginning to turn around. What will support this is the degree of confidence you have in yourself. It may be necessary to command greater attention. Decide on what you are willing to be committed to. All the questions wont be answered so get comfortable about your own position.

Something will enable you to feel confident about being able to initiate matters towards the sort of development you are seeking in the long term. The details involved can seem overwhelming and for this reason it is wise not to rush anything. What someone else desires can create hold-ups. Success is just a matter of time.

Whichever way you turn it will be difficult to implement your ideas or to get others to accept them. The main thing is not to take on obligations you really dont want. It is entirely up to you to ensure there will be things to enjoy in your life. Others are more concerned about themselves and have no qualms in maintaining this focus.

Difficulties can arise with friends or with any situation that involves you with a group of people. It is more about what they want and this could make you feel almost invisible. This can make you realise that you have not paid close enough attention to the sort of foundation you need to get in place for what you want long term.

6th Annual Fraser Valley Automall Food Bank Drive

Its that time of year again, the Fraser Val-ley Automall Food Bank Drive has officially start-ed and is collecting food and donations to assist those in need. This is the 6th year for the event that started out in 2006 as a partnership with the eight dealers from the au-tomall and the Abbotsford News. Save-On Foods, Abbotsford Fire Rescue Service and Abbotsford Police Department joined in three years ago and the event has expanded to in-clude Price Smart Foods and additional sponsors HUB Insurance, Auto-mall Autobody and the Abbotsford News.

People can drop off food at the Fraser Valley Au-

tomall starting now until December 15th as well as at Save-On Foods and local Fire Halls on George Ferguson Way, West Rail-way, North Parallel and Bluejay.

There will be collections on December 2nd at the Save-On Foods on Sumas Way and at Price Smart on South Fraser Way on December 15th.

Between December 3 14, fire fighters will be out in the community knock-ing on doors canvassing for food and donations to the Abbotsford Food Bank. Food donations are greatly appreciated and monetary donations are even more beneficial as this money can be increased significantly

with the buying power of Save-On Foods purchas-ing food items.

The Food Bank Drive will depart from the Automall on Saturday morning, December 15th at 11:00 am with eight vehicles representing each of the eight franchise dealers as well as a vehicle from Au-tomall Autobody, Abbots-ford Fire Rescue Service vehicles and the Save-On Foods semi-trailer full of donated food and drive through the heart of the City to the Food Bank located on Essendene Avenue.

Lets all make a differ-ence during this holiday season by assisting citi-zens in need!

Sumas Mountain RescueOn Wednesday, Nov 28, 2012, the Abbotsford Fire Rescue Service (AFRS) responded to a report that a man had fallen off of his mountain bike on Sumas Mountain. The individual had initially called 911 using his cell. phone. He stated that he had hit his head and was suffering from a neck injury.

The injured party was a 63 year old male who was biking alone and was unsure of his loca-tion. Fortunately he had the presence of mind to use his mobile phone to establish his exact lo-cation by using G.P.S. coordinates. Within an hour AFRS firefighters were able to find him on a trail above the Ledgeview Golf course. At this time the patient was becoming hypothermic.

AFRS crews and Search and Rescue members packaged the patient and transported him to a lo-cation on McKee Road. From this location the patient was transported by BC Ambulance to Ledgeview Golf Course. A BCAS HeliJet heli-copter was staged on the 9th fairway of the golf course. The patient was

then medevacd to VGH. The bike rider was con-scious throughout the incident.

Three AFRS engines and 13 firefighters attended the incident for approxi-mately two hours. APD B.C. Ambulance and Search and Rescue were also on the scene.

Youth mean business in B.C.Athena Theny often dreamed of being able to make and sell her jewellery, leather handbags and other creations in her own store. Now her dream has been realized through Athena Atelier, her boutique in Gastown.

Athena Atelier is the result of Athenas participation in the Youth Mean Busi-ness program, along with her extensive collaboration with business advisors, professors and social entrepreneurs in the community. Athenas success is one of the reasons government is ex-tending the Youth Mean Business pilot project through to March 31, 2013.

Funded through the Canada-British Columbia Labour Market Agreement (LMA), the B.C. government is invest-ing a total of nearly $2 million for the Youth Mean Business program, which helps youth (aged 18 to 29 years) work with business advisors to create sound business proposals that they can then develop into formal business plans. The program provides up to $5,000 for each participant, some of which can be used as seed money for launching their business. The pilot initially launched in June 2011, with an investment of $1.65 million through to October

2012. Government is investing an additional $337,900 to extend the program to the end of the fiscal year.

Before participating in Youth Mean Business, Athena was working in the mental-health field as a group facilita-tor and making jewellery and acces-sories on the side. She sold some of her designs on consignment at local boutiques, but thought of her passion for design as a hobby rather than as something she could run as a busi-ness. Through working with business advisors and using some seed funding from the program, she gained the tools necessary to put a plan into action and become the designer she always wanted to be.

From June 2011 to October 31, 2012, about 185 young people have par-ticipated in the Youth Mean Business program throughout the province, and have worked with business advisors to develop proposals to gain traction on their own business ideas. The goal is to get to at least 226 by the end of March 2013. The YMCA of Greater Vancou-ver administers the Youth Mean Busi-ness program in Greater Vancouver, ETHOS Ca- contd on page 51
