The goal of the provincial government is now to keep seniors living comfortably in their own homes, with the proper supports, for as long as they are able.

Recently, Health Minister Terry Lake announced an additional $2 million in funding for United Ways Better at Home program, which provides non-medical supports to help seniors remain independent in their homes for as long as possible.

Seniors have given so much to our lives and our communities and government is committed to supporting them to remain in their homes and out of hospital as long as possible, said Lake, who made the announcement at a symposium for seniors organized by ONCORE, a Better at Home service provider.

The services provided by the Better at Home program reflect the ministrys strategic focus on strengthening home and community care.

To date, government has provided $22 million in funding to enhance and support the operations of the Better at Home program, which now operates in 60 communities throughout B.C.

One of those communities is Maple Ridge. Some of the local services include:

- Transportation services tailored to meet the needs of seniors who are living in their own homes and require transportation to medical appointments. Shopping services encourage seniors to accompany volunteers on shopping outings.

- Visiting services provides friendly visits to seniors in their homes.

Syracuse, NY -- The trial for a Syracuse man accused of shooting a handyman to death during an attempted robbery in May 2013 is set to begin later this month.

Lynnquan Kellam, of 622 West Brighton Ave., was charged with murder and criminal possession of a weapon in the death of Arthur D. Bullock.

Bullock was shot and killed while trying to help two men being robbed on his front porch, Syracuse police said at the time.

Bullock, 54, of 142 Fage Ave., walked out onto his front porch at about 1:50 a.m. May 31. He found his friends being robbed, Fowler said.

The robber, who police said was Kellam, then confronted Bullock. They fought and Bullock was shot in the head. He later died at Upstate University Hospital, according to police. Kellam and Bullock were strangers, police said.

Kellam's case will go to trial beginning July 21 in Onondaga County Judge Joseph Fahey's court. Fahey expects the trial to last more than a week. Jury selection will be begin at 10:45 a.m. July 21.

Defense lawyer Don Kelly argued in December 2013 that his client was also shot during the same attempted robbery. He said Kellam was grazed by a bullet to his shoulder.

The murder of Bullock, a popular handyman among his neighbors led to grief and fear after his death.
