Simon Gibsons Column

It was my privilege to teach for many years at the University of the Fraser Valley at all three campuses in Abbotsford, Mission and Chilliwack.

I would often begin classes with this question: Would you rather be suc-cessful or look successful?

Students would often seem confused no one had asked them that question before. I would give them an example: Suppose a man drives by in a Fer-rari. Is he successful? Well, maybe he borrowed it or stole it. Perhaps he and his wife split up: she gets the home and he gets the car.

I remind them that success is really more about personal satisfaction than it is about possessions or image. Of course, there is nothing wrong with owning nice things, but we dont want them to own us!

Now as a politician, I am also remind-ed that my role is more about service than recognition or minor prestige. The opportunity to serve as a member of our provincial legislature allows me to represent constituents and stand up for their concerns.

Currently, there is a growing anxiety over the state of our dikes on the Fra-ser River on Matsqui Prairie. The city has submitted background material

I will be arranging a tour shortly with two relevant ministers.

There is good transportation news. The widening of highway #1 from 202nd to 216th is proceeding through the cooperative efforts of the provin-cial and federal governments, and we are working to secure federal partner-ship to continue six-laning the high-way right out to Abbotsford. In addi-tion, design work remains underway for future upgrades to Mt. Lehman Road, from the Fraser Highway to the Abbotsford Airport.

Further west, government has recently announced a bridge over the Fraser River, which will replace the current Massey Tunnel. This $3.5 billion 10-lane bridge will be completed by 2022. Residents increasingly have become frustrated with the bottleneck and safety issues of the tunnel.

Most of you will have heard about Site C, which is one the largest capi-tal expenditures in the history of our province ($8.7 billion). It will provide clean, affordable energy for genera-tions and will mean thousands of well-paying jobs for British Columbians.

Site C will p r o v i d e a c o n s i s t e n t s u p p l y o f power that c o u l d n o t be made by alternatives such as solar panels and wind power.

Site C has been under discussion for many years, so it is exciting to be a government MLA at this time. Inter-estingly, Site C will generate 35 per cent of the energy produced by the WAC Bennett Dam with a reservoir 5 per cent of the size.

The legislature will begin sitting in Victoria in a few days. I look forward to being in the House and speaking to the various issues. I will also be attending Treasury Board, Public Ac-counts and the Finance Committee. In addition, I will be visiting independent schools as a Parliamentary Secretary.

Thanks for reading! The next column will appear in the Patrika in about a month!

Simon Gibson

and a budget and I will be working with government on this request.

On the Mission side of the constituency, invasive weeds are growing to be a signifi-cant problem on Hatzic Lake and local residents have ap-proached me with regard to the implications for the future.

BC Cancer Agency launches two digital mammography vehicles to serve

women in rural and remote areas

Today, two new BC Cancer Agency digital mammogra-phy vehicles were launched and blessed during a ceremony at the Musqueam First Nation in Van-couver.

These large, comfortable coaches feature the latest technology and provide access to breast cancer screening for BC women in remote and rural communities.

Currently the BC Cancer Agencys Mobile Mammography program visits 120 remote and rural commu-nities annually, including more than 40 Indigenous communities. The ceremonial blessing, performed by a Musqueam Elder, honours these communities to increase acceptance of the coaches and remove barriers to breast cancer screening.

The blessing was witnessed by leaders from the BC Association of Aboriginal Friendship Centres, the Mtis Nation BC, Chief Wayne Spar-row of the Musqueam First Nation, Dr. Moira Stilwell, MLA Vancouver-Langara and Dr. Malcolm Moore, BC Cancer Agency president.

After the blessing, the new digital mammography vehicles will begin providing mammograms for women on site at the Musqueam First Na-tion. The coaches will then visit communities across the province from Maple Ridge to Merritt, and Osoyoos to the Soda Creek First Na-tion. These new vehicles join a third

coach, which was launched in Feb-ruary 2015. That coach is currently serving communities on Vancouver Island and the Gulf Islands.

The BC Cancer Agency mobile mammography service is the first of its kind in Canada to use wireless cel-lular data to send the images through a secure VPN tunnel from the mobile unit to the reading centre, ensuring greater efficiency of the service.

The purchase of the two new mobile mammography vehicles was made possible by Ministry of Health capi-tal funding and sponsorship funding support by the Canadian Breast Can-cer Foundation and Shoppers Drug Mart at a total cost of $1,808,000.

Screening mammograms are avail-able for women 40 years of age and older. Women are encouraged to dis-cuss the benefits and limitations of mammography with their doctor. If they choose to have a mammogram, it will be available every two years and a doctors referral is not needed.

Eligible women can use the clinic locator at www.screeningbc.ca/breast to either find a year-round fixed location near them, or view the schedule for the mobile mam-mography service in their area. For remote communities that the mobile coaches are unable to access, assisted travel support is provided for eligible women in the community to attend either the nearest fixed centre or mobile stop.

A column by Pete Scales M.Ag, BSc

Have you ever heard of polyphe-nols? No? How about green tea and its antioxidant effects? Yes? Ok, now were getting warmer. As it turns out, green tea and the very popular black teas contain

similar amounts of polyphenols, a class of chemi-cals found most commonly in plants.

The word derivation of polyphenols is poly or many and phenol, a very stable, six-sided carbon ring molecule with three double bonds. These phenol molecules, when joined together through plant biochemical pathways, provide some very important features to plants and other organisms, like us, that happen to feed on them.

For plants the benefits are numerous. Polyphenols likely defend against insect attacks, provide pig-mentation and offer a built-in suntan lotion effect where the abundance of carbon rings act like light reflectors.

For humans, through our intake of food plants - really our only significant source of polyphenols - these molecules are now clearly associated as a means to fight off some cancers, ward off cardio-vascular disease, and interestingly, polyphenol seems to be effective in reducing inflammation. But most importantly, it is polyphenols proper-ties as an antioxidant that really prove its health benefits.

Its at the cell level of all life where an antioxidant does its best work. It is also the location of the great paradox the need for oxygen to survive at the same time as its reactive by-products con-tributing to cell death. Oxygen, a two atom gas, when separated into single atoms becomes highly reactive and undergoes instant chemical reactions, mostly beneficial but some deadly. Molecules such as free radicals and reactive oxygen species (i.e. hydrogen peroxide) can form and, if left to roam around a cells nucleus, can and likely will attack DNA with the potential of mutations. So antioxidants, like polyphenols, are required to mop up the reactive mess before damage occurs.

What foods are rich in antioxidant polyphenols? Honey is a good source of polyphenols as are legumes, and fruits such as apples, blueber-ries, pomegranate, cherries, cranberries, grapes. etc. are loaded with them. And let us not forget vegetables such as broccoli, cabbage, celery, on-ion and parsley. Red wine, cocoa (chocolate),

tea (of all colours), olive oil, some grains and yes, coffee, all contain polyphenols. You will know when you are eating or drinking foods with polyphenols because they will usually have a sharp bite, a kindly bitterness to them, like tea when it is brewed stronger than you would like.

And back to the sunscreen idea. We humans have believed for millennia, but could not prove,

that plants such as olive and aloe vera provided some discernable protection against sun damage to skin. Now, there is scientific evi-dence that these and numerous other darkly pigmented plants such as tomatoes and soy con-tain significant powerful anti-sun and anti-aging compounds.

So the take away from this ar-ticle, well, its as simple as admit-ting your grandmother was right

when she told you to eat your vegies. And now we will add the words, dark and raw.

For a listing of the 100 richest dietary sources of polyphenols check out:

New funding will help young entrepreneurs reach their potential

The B.C. government is investing in emerging business leaders with new funding to expand a successful Futurpreneur program that offers business skills and coaching for young entrepreneurs launching new small businesses.

The Province is providing $50,000 to Futurpreneur so it can ex-pand its reach by offering Rock My business Plan workshops in Prince George, Nanaimo and Kelowna. The curriculum of the one-day sessions will be tailored to the participants with personal coaching for business planning and marketing.

Futurpreneur, formally known as the Canadian Youth Business Founda-tion, is the primary, national non-profit organization providing financ-ing, mentoring and support tools to aspiring small-business owners and entrepreneurs aged 18 to 39 years.

The Province provided $75,000 in funding to Futurpreneur in 2008

through the Partnership Funding Program for a pilot project aimed at expanding the organizations rural outreach. This funding was used to develop training materials, events, workshops and marketing, resulting in 27 new business startups in rural B.C.

To date, Futurpreneur has invested in 1,066 new businesses in B.C., resulting in 5,117 new jobs and an estimated $32 million in tax revenue. Futurepreneur raises approximately $2 million to $3 million annually from public- and private-sector or-ganizations, to leverage federal government funding.

Post-secondary funding continues to align with in-demand occupations

Operating grants to public post-secondary education institu-tions continue to be aligned with education and training for in-demand occupations, with an additional $90 million targeted in 2015-16.

Targeted operating grants for public post-secondary institutions in British Columbia now account for approxi-mately 17% of total funding. The goal is to target 25% of operating grants by 2017-18 to education and training that supports in-demand occupations as part of the commitment made in B.C.s Skills for Jobs Blueprint.

Our government has a comprehensive strategy that is shifting how post-sec-ondary education and training is funded in British Columbia, said Advanced Education Minister Andrew Wilkinson. Aligning funding to targeted program-ming will help meet the need for in-demand jobs in a diverse range of sectors including technology that support our provincial economy.

The targeted funding will include more tech-related programming as outlined in the #BCTECH Strategy. This will ensure

students can continue to access tech-related education and training required for tech-sector related occupations.

The combination of BC Skills for Jobs Blueprint and the BC Tech Strategy will result in training and experience for in-demand technology occupations many of which are in engineering, software and computer development to ensure our workforce has the skills needed to succeed in the marketplace, said Technology, Innovation and Citizens Services Minister Amrik Virk.

Prior to 2014-15, $190 million was tar-geted every year toward mainly health-related programs such as medicine, nursing and midwifery. This represented approximately 10% of provincial op-erating grants to universities, colleges and institutes. Funding for programs that support high-demand occupations from professional occupations to social services through to technology will in-crease to 25% of annual operating grants by 2017-18.

Programming is being aligned with the top 100 occupations listed in the B.C. 2024 Labour Market Outlook as well

as priority health occupations and re-gional labour priorities, and programs for Aboriginal people and people with disabilities.

Post-secondary students are seeking the knowledge, skills and experience that will allow them to fulfil their po-tential in whatever field they choose to pursue and equip them to respond to a labour market trends, said University of Victoria president Jamie Cassels. An example of aligning to market demand

is the civil engineering program at UVic that is now available for the first time

ever on Vancouver Island.

Colleges, such as Okanagan College, are constantly responding and updating programming to respond to student, employer and industry demand, said Okanagan College president Jim Hamil-ton. Aligned seats at Okanagan College range from business and management through to early childhood education.

have, FVBIA executive director Carol Paetkau said. Thank you to the Government of British Columbia for recognizing the value of community-based services for this population.

The expansion of the programs being offered will make a huge difference in our community, Abbotsford South MLA Darryl Plecas said. A brain injury can happen at any moment and change a life forever. This investment will touch many lives.

Im happy to hear that thanks to this funding, the Fraser Valley Brain Injury Association will be able to provide new programs throughout the region, Abbotsford West MLA Michael de Jong said. The hard work they con-tinue to do will improve the lives of those impacted by a brain injury.

In May, the government provided $3 million in funding over three years to the Brain Injury Alliance which has distributed funding to organizations in

two stages. In the first stage, $10,000 was provided to each of B.C.s 16 community-based, non-profit brain-injury service providers to help with operational costs.

In the second stage, brain-injury or-ganizations in B.C. receive funding based on applications for programs specific to their needs. These organi-zations run programs and services to help reduce the incidence of injury or directly help those affected by brain injuries.

Pictured: Abbotsford South MLA Darryl Plecas, Abbotsford-Mission MLA Simon Gibson, and Chilliwack MLA John Martin congratulate Carol Paetkau, FVBIA executive director (left), Joy Scoobie, FVBIA program facilitator (middle) and FVBIA clients Mary-Ann Kostelyk, Laura Solomon, Paulette Roussy, John Oltuis, and Bernie Wiens for expanding their suc-cessful programs.

MVB: Cascades sweep past Avalanche in three sets

As straight-sets victories go, the one that the University of the Fraser Valley m e n s v o l -leyball team picked up on Saturday eve-ning against the College of the Rock-ies Avalanche was about as close as they come.

The Cascades had to grind it out in each of the three sets, winning by scores of 27-25, 25-22 and 28-26 at UFVs Stu-dent Activity Centre North Gym. The hosts improved to 9-8, good for fourth place in the PacWest, while the fifth-place Avalanche fell to 9-10.

The two teams renew hostilities on Sunday (1 p.m., Student Activity Centre).

I thought we put ourselves in a posi-tion to win a little easier in all three

sets, and kind of made it a little more difficult on ourselves, Cascades head coach Kyle Donen said. But in the end, we were able to battle for a three-set win, and thats never easy to do in this league, in any situation.

Id like to see us finish a little smoother for the next one. But we were off for a week, and coming

back, sometimes it takes a little time. But I think well find it, and be better tomorrow.

After winning the first two sets, the Cascades found themselves in a chase position throughout the third. The Avalanche held leads of 18-15 and 22-20, but UFV clawed back to finish the match 28-26 on a big kill from Adam Chaplin.

Even though it was three sets in a row, theres still a lot to improve on, Cascades fifth-year middle Connor Nickel noted. But we came through when we needed to the most, and that was just through distributing the ball. Freddy (setter Adam Fredrick-son) did a good job of getting everybody involved.

Donen felt that Nickel, both on offence and defence, was a catalyst for his squad.

He really led the way for us through the middle of the floor, Donen said. Connor was kind of everywhere when it came to the blocking side of things tonight, and established a strong offensive presence through the middle right from the get-go.

TIPS FOR COPING WITH THE WINTER BLUES

For some people, gloomy winter weather can trig-ger Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), a type of depression that occurs during the fall and winter, possibly due to the lack of sunlight that Canada endures at this time of year.

You might be suffering from SAD if youre feeling sad, moody or anxious, have lost interest in activities you typi-cally enjoy, feel drowsy dur-ing the day, are craving carbo-hydrates and comfort foods, and potentially gaining weight as a result.

If youre suffering from SAD, or simply a case of the winter blues, small lifestyle adjust-ments can help you cope with the symptoms.

Keeping that in mind, here are 10 ways to help:

Go play outside: Bundle up and head outdoors for some

brisk activity during daylight hours. Make it a social event and invite along coworkers if youre in the workplace. If youre at home, head outside to explore.

Let the light in: Maximize your sunlight exposure and find ways to let light into your home or office. Open the cur-tains, rearrange furniture, trim shrubs that are covering the window whatever it takes to let the sunshine in.

Or make your own: Light therapy is a commonly used treatment for SAD, and re-search is continuing to deter-mine the most effective way to use it. It can include bright light treatment, in which you sit in front of a light box for a certain amount of time, typi-cally in the morning. Another option is dawn simulation during which a low-intensity light is timed to go on in the morning before you wake up,

gradually getting brighter. If you have been diagnosed with SAD or believe you have the symptoms, speak to your doctor about your treatment options, which could include light therapy.

Head for the sun: If you have the means to do so, consider strategically planning a vaca-tion to a sunny destination during the winter.

Dont forget about Vitamin D: Known as the sunshine vitamin, Vitamin D is in-tegral for helping the body to absorb calcium and build strong, healthy bones and teeth. However, since we dont always get all of the Vitamin D we need from sun exposure particularly during the winter we often need to find alternative sources which include fortified foods (i.e. cows milk), fatty fish and eggs. Vitamin D supplements may also be beneficial. As

always, consult your doctor before taking them.

Get plenty of zzzs: A symp-tom of SAD and, to a lesser extent, the winter blues, is a feeling of drowsiness during the day and a constant desire to sleep. Getting on a regular sleep schedule may help you feel more energetic through-out the day and ease feelings of listlessness.

Avoid too much caffeine and alcohol: Avoid them when possible to encourage restful sleep and a brighter overall outlook.

Eat well: Eating healthier might help ease the symptoms of SAD and the winter blues. Complex carbohydrates such as whole grains, spinach, beans and lentils take longer for your body to digest and dont cause the spike in blood sugar that can negatively im-pact your mood.

Stay social: Make a concert-ed effort to stay connected to your social circle. Interacting with those we care about can help boost your mood.

Dont be afraid to reach out: If youre feeling the effects of the winter blues or think you might be exhibiting the symptoms of Seasonal Af-fective Disorder, dont be afraid to ask for help. Fam-ily and friends can provide much-needed support while a physician can help you de-velop a treatment plan. You may benefit from counselling, medication or referral to a psychiatrist if your symptoms are severe enough.

British Columbia paves the way to safest roads by 2020

RoadSafetyBC has re-leased a new report that will help guide the Province to achieving the safest roads in North America by 2020.

Moving to Vision Zero: Road Safety Strategy Up-date and Showcase of Inno-vation in British Columbia is the result of collaboration by more than 40 road safety experts. The report aligns with Canadas Road Safety Strategy 2015 and highlights the application of the safe systems approach the understand-ing that road safety developments must account for the inevitability of human error, the limitations of the human body in withstanding force, and the responsibility of road and vehicle designers, policy makers and road users.

With this approach and the imple-mentation of evidence-based prac-tices, and a thorough study of how road safety is managed around the globe, RoadSafetyBC is reinforcing its commitment to road safety prin-ciples that will lead to the province having the safest roads in North America.

Tweet your ideas and opinions about how British Columbia can achieve this goal, using the hashtag: #saf-estroadsby2020

New scholarship sends students and teachers on exchanges to Asia

Students and teachers through-out the province can earn the chance to study and learn in Asia, thanks to a new exchange program that builds on British Co-lumbas education relationships with our Pacific Rim partners.

About 200 students and six teachers from B.C. public and independent schools will benefit from the ex-change program between schools in China, Japan and British Columbia.

Government is investing $200,000 in scholarships that will help send student groups and teachers on exchanges with Japan and China. Student groups need a minimum of five students and, if approved, will

receive $5,000 to $10,000, depend-ing on the groups size.

Teachers with successful applica-tions will receive $5,000 to assist with their exchange costs.

The award program encourages stu-dents and teachers to build on our multi-cultural partnerships and build increased student mobility between China, Japan and B.C. The applica-tion deadline for the scholarships is Feb.12, 2016, and the exchange must be complete before the middle of August 2016.

More information on applying is at: http://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/education-training/k-12/support/in-ternational-education/scholarships-awards

As a result of B.C.s strong economic growth and fiscal discipline, gov-ernment is able to support and fund projects that make a real difference in the lives of British Columbians.

The Abbotsford International Airport and Abbotsford City Council would like to remind the public that, as Unmanned Air Vehicles (UAV) and drones increase in popular-ity, it is important for operators to be aware of the regulations and no fly zones prior to taking flight.

Transport Canada regulates UAVs and drone use in all communities across the country with the objective of keeping the public and our airspace safe. Before anyone in Abbotsford undertakes the flying of any UAV or drone, it is important to

ensure they understand the rules that apply and follow them.

According to Transport Canada, UAV operators need to be at least 9km away from any airport, heliport or aerodrome. The attached map pro-vides an aerial map of the 9km radius around the Abbotsford International Airport. Further safety information can be found from Transport Canada including a quick reference guide:

http://www.tc.gc.ca/media/documents/ca-stan-dards/Info_graphic_-_Dos_and_Donts_for_fly-

ing_your_drone_safely_and_legally.pdf

There are also weight re-strictions on UAVs, and a Special Flight Opera-tions Certificate (SFOC) is required for all UAV (commercial use) opera-tions but is not required for a model aircraft (rec-reational use) less than 35kg. View Transport

Canadas Infographic to determine if you need special permission to fly your drone at http://www.tc.gc.ca/media/documents/ca-standards/Info_graphic_-_Flying_an_umanned_aircraft_-_Find_out_if_you_need_permission_from_TC.pdf

For more information on flying drones safely and legally, please visit the Transport Canada website at http://www.tc.gc.ca/eng/civilaviation/standards/standards-4179.html

Always:

Fly your drone during daylight and in good weather (not in clouds or fog).

Keep your drone in sight, where you can see it with your own eyes not only through an on-board camera, monitor or smartphone.

Make sure your drone is safe for flight before take-off. Ask yourself, for example, are the batteries fully charged? Is it too cold to fly?

Know if you need to apply for a Special Flight Operations Certificate.

Respect the privacy of others avoid flying over private property or taking photos or videos without permission.

Closer than 9 km from any airport, heliport, or aerodrome.

Higher than 90 metres above the ground.

Closer than 150 metres from people, animals, buildings, structures, or vehicles.

In populated areas or near large groups of people, including sporting events, concerts, festivals, and firework shows.

Near moving vehicles, highways, bridges, busy streets or anywhere you could endanger or distract drivers.

Within restricted and controlled airspace, including near or over military bases, prisons, and forest fires.

Anywhere you may interfere with first responders.

Do not fly:
