Pioneeer Log Homes grows internationally Pioneer Log Homes of Williams Lake is experiencing a wave of unprecedented growth overseas. The company — which makes Western Red Cedar log homes and was featured on Extreme Makeover and HGTV — has experienced worldwide growth, building around 20 log homes outside of the continental North America this summer. From Hawaii to the United Kingdom, it’s been a busy summer abroad for Pioneer. A total of nine homes were built in Scotland and seven in Austria, with homes erected in Germany and Holland as well. “If we can get clients to see them in person or at least drive by them, it gets them thinking,” said sales

manager Gary Crosina. “If we can just get a Pioneer Log Home in the area, the inquiries and phone calls start rolling in.” Crosina said this year is the first time they’ve had any leads for sales in Russia and Kazakhstan, where Pioneer Log Homes will be working on building possibly four structures of more than 20,000-square feet. Pioneer Log Homes still sends its own workers to do the log set to make sure the logs are in the right place, instead of being subcontracted out. It’s been a very busy year and a special experience for their employees travelling about. “Our employees go over there, working long hours to set these log

homes on client’s foundations,” Crosina said. “For example, we built one in Hawaii this year, the craftsmen were pretty happy to go as for many it was there first time there.” The blossoming international success has been welcomed by Pioneer Log Homes. With a strong Internet presence through its website, www.pioneerloghomesofbc. com, and successful marketing campaign from SEO Company Mainstreethost.com, Pioneer was able to attract interest from around the globe while the U.S. economy continues to pick up the pieces from the recession. “With the States being in the turmoil that they’re in, this has been a great revelation for us — it’s filled

the void and kept us busy,” Crosina said. “Once the U.S. comes back, I’m not sure what we going to do as we will definitely have more then we can handle.” It’s a problem Pioneer Log Homes will be glad to welcome when the time comes. Since 1973, the log home builder has been able to adapt and grow throughout North America, becoming the number 1 handcrafted log home company in the world. Today Pioneer has three fully productive building sites: the main site located five miles south of Williams Lake, the Soda Creek site eight miles north of Williams Lake and the 153 Mile site on Likely Road.

A fall dance to remember It was my first year in the nursing program and I was keen to do well and be in with the “in” crowd. When the discussion of an October school dance arose, I promptly volunteered to get a band for the event. I had absolutely no idea how or where to get a band but I thought it would not be too much work to round one up (and make an impression on my classmates). After weeks of rejection, I was desperate. Finally, just in time, I found a band that agreed to play for the dance

CORNER STORIES COLLEEN CROSSLEY

and all was well — I thought. When the band arrived to set up early, I was busy decorating and running around so I failed to notice the types of instruments they were bringing in and, in fact, I

hardly noticed the band members at all. When I had talked to the leader of the group on the phone, he told me they played all kinds of music, including the rock and roll I was asking for. The cost was surprisingly reasonable, too. The leader told me they were a steel band so I was pretty stoked for rocking to steel guitars! When the curtain was set to go up, there was great excitement and anticipation because I had not said too much about the band — everyone was ready for a fun night

of music and dancing. I saw that every member of the group had a steel drum (beautifully decorated) and matching outfits and I thought to myself “how interesting — they must have a real variety of music,” and costume changes, too. As the first drums began to play I knew I had misunderstood the term “steel” and I had a wee problem (popularity with my peers being the least of it!). They tried to accommodate and accepted all the requests from the audience with big, non-

There were a few notable exceptions when they tried very hard to make the echoing drums sound like rock and roll music.

School closure and consolidation proposals meet strong opposition About 18 of the 300 or so people filling the bleachers were given the opportunity to pose their questions at the microphone during the first public consultation meeting held at Williams Lake Secondary School Tuesday evening on School District 27’s Initial Options Report which proposes to close and consolidate schools in the district. For the north end of the district the report proposes closing Glendale, Kwaleen, and Wildwood elementary schools and making Columneetza and Williams Lake secondary schools into one grades 7 to 12 school on two campuses. While it was supposed to be a information session and question and answer session with the school trustees and district staff, many of the presenters burst into passionate speeches in favour of keeping elementary schools open. Many of the speakers were adamantly opposed to the idea of making Williams Lake and Columneetza sec-

Columneetza student Shaelyn Wintges (not Jenny as recorded in the Oct.4 edition of the Tribune) collected 259 signatures in two days from people opposing the grades 7 to 12 school configuration. She said Grade 7s shouldn’t have to lose their innocence early by being exposed to the negative peer pressures and bullying they will face in a grades 7 to 12 secondary school.

Parent Karen Sokolan made an impassioned plea not to take Grade 7s out of elementary schools in the area and put them into a consolidated grades 7 to 12 secondary school on two campuses. She said many Grade 7s are two young to be making such a big transition where they will experience bullying and more peer pressure to do drugs, drink alcohol and engage in other negative activities.

Iver Meyers was concerned that creating a grades 7 to 9 secondary school in Williams Lake would cost enrollment and make it harder to deliver education at the Kindergarten to Grade 10 schools in the Chilcotin because some parents will chose to send their Grade 7s to Williams Lake rather than keep them at home in their own communities.

The middle ear contains the smallest bone in the human body. It’s called the stapes (stirrup) and is 0.1 inch long. It is linked by tiny joints to two other bones called the malleus (hammer) and the incus (anvil). The common names in brackets indicate their shape. These three bones are instrumental in conducting sound to our inner ear. They are delicate and fragile. Treat them with respect. With diabetes on the rise in North America, many people are pre-diabetic and don’t know it. To detect this, your doctor can order a fasting blood glucose test for you. If you are pre-diabetic, exercise and weight-loss are the best solutions. This condition doesn’t necessarily progress to diabetes. You can change your future. Each year as the cough and cold season arrives, the subject of taking zinc as a cold remedy comes up. Is it useful? Recent studies show that zinc doesn’t reduce the severity of the cold symptoms but can reduce the duration of the cold by 1.6 days from the usual seven days.

Medical pot controls demanded at UBCM B.C. civic leaders have called for tighter controls on Health Canada-licensed medical marijuana growers, citing public safety and nuisance issues. The vote came during the same Union of B.C. Municipalities convention that saw delegates vote to support iminalization of marijuana. “We need to find a way to know where these are so we can provide some regulatory control,” North Cowichan regional district director Al Siebring said. He said most busts of pot grow-ops turn out to be licensed by Health Canada but are growing “far, far more” than permitted and are increasingly linked to organized crime. The Surrey-sponsored resolution calls on the federal government to force medical pot growers to first get a municipal permit or licence showing the grow site complies with local bylaws and electrical, fire, health, building and safety regulations. It’s the first time UBCM has actually approved the demand. It came to the convention floor in the previous two years but was tabled each time amid concerns from

some civic leaders that a crackdown would breach growers’ privacy and reduce medical marijuana access. Ottawa is already moving to phase out the current individual licences to grow medical pot and instead direct authorized users to buy from permitted commercial growers. Senior B.C. Conservative minister James Moore said UBCM’s other vote on marijuana – to decriminalize it – won’t sway the federal government. “We’re elected on a platform that very explicitly said we are not interested in legalizing marijuana.” Cities push B.C.-wide shark fin ban UBCM delegates voted by a wide margin to ask the province to outlaw the possession or sale of shark fins that Chinese res-

taurants turn into coveted bowls of shark fin soup. Activists have been going from city to city in Metro Vancouver convincing councils to impose local bans but North Vancouver City Coun. Craig Keating said a provincial ban is preferable, along with a federally imposed ban on shark fin imports, to combat the “inhumane and wasteful” practice of harvesting sharks for fins. Cross-border cash drain debated The cash drain on local businesses from cross-border shopping inspired one UBCM resolution that generated debate. Castlegar council proposed a resolution to lobby the federal government to rescind its recent loosening of overnight duty free limits, which significantly increased the

value of goods Canadians can bring back after trips of at least 24 hours. “The federal government is encouraging us to go across the border and increase our spending,” Castlegar Coun. Dan Rye said. But the motion was defeated after Creston Coun. Wesly Graham opposed it and said Ottawa should simply tighten the current lax collection of duties and taxes by Canadian border guards. Thumbs down on casino benefit reform A proposal to redistribute some of the $82 million a year casino host cities get to cities without gambling facilities was rejected amid concerns over how it would work. Advocates said the current system where only host cities get 10 per cent of gambling

profits divides cities into winners and losers and should be reformed to spread the wealth. Port Coquitlam Mayor Greg Moore said most patrons now are registered through player cards so the B.C. Lottery Corp. could easily estimate how much money is spent at a given casino by people who live outside that host city, allowing benefits to be apportioned equitably to other municipalities. “The current regulations are pitting communities against each other,” he said. “It’s creating an injustice between local governments around the province.”

BCGEU deal drops privatization plan The B.C. government has reached a tentative agreement with its largest employee group, as the B.C. Government and Service Employees’ Union has recommended acceptance of a two-year agreement with a four per cent raise. Premier Christy Clark announced the settlement Friday at the Union of B.C. Municipalities convention, after talks broke down in the spring and the BCGEU staged a series of strikes at liquor stores and government offices around the province. BCGEU president Darryl Walker said the government dropped its proposal to sell the Liquor Distribution Branch warehouse and delivery system, which was “huge” for the union and a step towards privatizing government liquor stores as well. “We think this is the spine of the system,” Walker said. “Without this we would perhaps have lost the whole system.” Clark said the settlement meets the government’s “cooperative gains” bargaining

mandate, where savings and efficiencies cover the costs of pay increases, but offered few details. Walker said the 26,000-member union agreed to work with the government to reduce sick days and find new efficiencies in operations that include ministry operations, social workers, and provincial prison and court services. The union dropped its proposal to open more liquor stores on Sundays to increase revenue. Walker said that was to protect members whose distribution jobs were going to be privatized. “Now that [privatization] is gone, we

think we can talk to this government and in fact the next government about what it means to build revenues, and if we can find a way to do that by opening stores, then I think it’s winwin,” Walker said.

Where to go, what to do. Film club shows Palme d’Or award winner L’enfant Krista Liebe Tuesday, Oct. 9 is the date for the next film of the Williams Lake Film Club -- the award winning Belgian film L’enfant. Screening will start at 7 p.m., back doors will open at 6:30 p.m. The directors of our next film, the Dardennes brothers, Jean-Pierre and Luc, are from Belgium. They write, produce and direct their films together and started this in the late 1970s. They first came to international attention in the mid 1990s. They won their first major international film prize when Rosetta won the Palme d’Or at the 1999 Cannes Film Festival. All their films since have played at the Cannes main competition and won one of the major prizes. Over the span of 12 years they have won more awards than any other filmmakers in the history of the Cannes Film Festival. And we are showing one of their Palme d’Or award winning films this Tuesday. L’enfant (The Child) shows a young couple living in a run-down, gritty, working-class neighbourhood somewhere in Belgium. There are no jobs, there is not much motivation, there seems to be just some sense of survival. Bruno, around 20, is a hustler and down-and-out petty thief. He lives with his girlfriend Sonia, about

The Williams Lake Film Club will show the award winning film L’enfant at the Gibraltar Room on Tuesday, Oct. 9 starting at 7 p.m. Back doors open at 6:30 p.m. 18, who is pregnant. As the new and inexperienced mother navigates the bleak industrial landscape of the small Belgian town to show Bruno their newborn baby, he could not care less. But then Bruno falls in with a clandestine group that buys and sells healthy children on the black market and he gets an idea. There is some easy money to be made here, he could sell their baby. And he does. He is completely dumbfounded that Sonia goes crazy on him. One always can have more babies after all. But Sonia gets to him and Bruno goes against all odds to bring their baby home. The Dardenne brothers craft lean, unfancy movies, full of ordinary people, with no special effect, but the emotional impact of their movies

is devastating. So is L’enfant. You want to seriously dislike Bruno, but somehow it is difficult once you realize that he really has neither the ability nor the education or inclination to think through what he has done – or is doing. He simply goes along with life in this postenfantindustrial area. He is not a bad person, just a guy who liked Sonia, who suddenly

does not like him anymore. Sonia is from the same background, but she knows one thing – she has to take care of their baby. Both are somewhat like children themselves, simply reacting to life. As Joe Morgenstern from The Wall Street Journal said: “ This film is astonishing in its clarity and shattering in its power” and I think this really says it best. This film was released in 2006, French, with English subtitles, which are

Rancher named B.C. Lieutenant Governor Tom Fletcher Black Press Nicola Valley rancher Judith Guichon has been named B.C. Lieutenant Governor, as Sto:lo Grand Chief Steven Point’s fiveyear term comes to an end. Guichon runs the family cattle ranch in the Nicola Valley. She has served as president of the B.C. Cattlemen’s Association, a director of the Grassland Conservation Council of B.C., and on provincial government task forces on ranching and species at risk. “Mrs. Guichon has dedicated herself to her community, province and country,” Prime Minister Stephen Harper said in a statement Monday. “She is a leader in keeping British Columbia’s agriculture and cattle industries environmentally sound and she has worked hard to promote and protect the ranchers of British Columbia.” Premier Christy Clark

thanked Point for his work and congratulated Guichon. “She has a deep appreciation for the history and traditions of British Columbia and has spent a lifetime ensuring that we all stay connected to our roots – particularly through her work with the B.C. Cattlemen’s Association,” Clark said. Lieutenant Governors are appointed by the Governor General on the recommendation of prime ministers. They serve fiveyear terms as the Queen’s representative in each province, declaring new legislation and performing ceremonial duties around the province. Point is a former provincial court judge. Before being named to chief commissioner of the B.C. Treaty Commission, Point served as an elected chief of the Skowkale First Nation for 15 years. He also served as the tribal chair of the Stó:lo Nation Government, and Grand Chief of the Stó:lo Tribal Council.

Published by Black Press 188 N. 1st Avenue Williams Lake BC, V2G 1Y8

Skills training ‘our mission,’ Dix declares My column on skills training a couple of weeks ago gave short shrift to the NDP position: tax the banks and hand out grants for women’s studies, sociology and other worthless pursuits, while skilled jobs go begging. That’s a pretty crude caricature, so I sat down with NDP leader Adrian Dix in his legislature office last week to get a better sense of his thinking on the subject. Dix has been devoting a lot of time lately to skills training, in trades particularly. He meets frequently with business people now, and his recent speeches emphasize that every one of them talks about the growing shortage of skilled employees. Dix credits Premier Christy Clark and jobs minister Pat Bell with making some good moves recently, announcing equipment upgrades for vocational programs around the province. He says it’s because the NDP have been “pounding away at them for eight months” about freezing advanced education spending in their March budget. Dix calls that a crucial mistake and predicts the government will reverse it soon. “So I think, if we’re going to have a mission for four years as a government, if we’re elected, this is the mission: to start to address the skills shortage,” he told me. In his speech to the recent municipal convention, and again at an NDP provincial council meeting, Dix zeroed in on B.C.’s apprenticeship system. Since the B.C. Liberals took it from trade unions and set up a Crown corporation called the Industry Training Authority in 2004, the completion rate for apprentices has fallen to 37 per cent, he said. Dix assured me he isn’t proposing to “blow up” the

B.C. VIEWS TOM FLETCHER

ITA, or hand control back to unions. They will have “a voice,” along with business. Speaking to the NDP ex-

ecutive, Dix referred to Phil Hochstein, president of the non-union Independent Contractors and Businesses’ Association, as the symbol of trades training decline. Not surprisingly, Hochstein has a different take. The 37 per cent figure is misleading, Hochstein said, because under the ITA there are currently 32,000 apprentices in the system, twice as many as when it was union controlled. Many drop out in the first year, and Alberta claims a better completion rate because they don’t start counting until the second year.

And when Dix touts Alberta’s “mandatory” trade system, Hochstein said he means returning to a system where all work is restricted to journeymen or registered apprentices of that trade. “What it does is impose union jurisdiction on the training system of the entire construction industry,” Hochstein said. “So multi-skilling, multitasking, organizing the work in the most efficient way is blown out of the water, and it’s stuck in the old craft system of training.” The marketplace has spoken on that restrictive

system, he said, and unionized construction is down to about five per cent of the market, based on payroll. Hochstein said the NDP talks a great game about getting more young people into trades. But when unions have the upper hand, they will always favour seniority. A quota of two apprentices per journeyman means another one can’t be hired. Dix agreed with me that the public school system has over-emphasized university, to the detriment of not just industrial trades but lab techs, chefs and other

skilled workers that are in short supply. As B.C. Federation of Labour president Jim Sinclair recently noted, tradesmen themselves often don’t encourage their kids, because they’ve been told all their lives that they are “tool monkeys” in a dead-end job. And would NDP student grants be targeted to need? Dix’s answer was a definite maybe. Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press and BCLocalnews.com tfletcher@ blackpress.ca

News Fan fair

Williams Lake Weekend Friday, October 5, 2012

I can’t believe we’re going through another NHL lockout. I don’t think there has ever been a time where the owners and players have been so out of touch with their fans. While things are a bit better here in Canada, in North America as a whole the economy has been bad. People are losing their homes, struggling to find work and relieved to find a job that pays more than 10 bucks an hour. Do you know how much an NHL player makes an hour? Me neither. But it’s a whole lot more than 10 bucks. Right now the average salary per game is $29,878, so given that a game takes three hours to play counting intermission, you could say they make a minimum wage just shy of $10,000 an hour. Of course, they don’t just put in the three hours we see in the arena … but still. If minimum wage average Joe wants a great seat it can cost him $300 … something he might work 30 hours to afford. By the same token the average NHL player would have to pay almost $300,000 for a seat just to gain proper empathy for what a fan sacrifices to watch him play. If you’re a top-paid superstar like Alex Ovechkin who pulls in $109,756 per game or $36,585 “per hour” you would have to shell out well over a million dollars a seat just to get a feel for what it costs to be a fan! And that doesn’t even include poutine fries and a beer. I don’t know. Maybe

the owners are greedy, maybe the players deserve a bigger slice of the money-oozing hockey pie, but I’m just saying it’s not like anyone — owner or player — is hurting for pocket change. And a lot of their fans are. Back in the day hockey was something played for love of the game. Players even had day jobs to support their hockey habit. I can remember reading about one player who moonlighted as a fireman and had to leave in the middle of a playoff game to fight a blaze. I’m not saying we should return to those helmetless days of yore, but if fans are willing to give up 30 hours of their wages just to watch their hockey heroes play for one evening, maybe the owners and the players can sacrifice a little too. I keep hearing the players justify their position by saying there wouldn’t be a game without them;

how they’re the ones putting themselves out there and risking injuries. No one seems to realize there wouldn’t be a game without the fans. Fans are putting in full days of sweat and injury risks too; but in their case it’s for basic wages. It is the fan’s hard-earned dollars that pay for the game played by millionaires. What would happen if the lockout continues and when things are finally resolved fans refuse to forgive and forget? I know a few hardcore supporters who are vowing to do exactly that. They were willing to overlook the last lockout but having another one happen so soon has left them with the “fool me once” attitude. Of course once

the hockey pucks drop they may weaken their stance. We are Canadian after all. But, what if the doors finally open … and nobody is there? What if the hockey song plays and the people on the couch yawn and switch channels? Or what if they’re down at the arena playing the game themselves or cheering on a beer league instead? With no one to watch, how long before both owners and players cash in their hard-bartered zillion dollar agreements for a big wad of cold, hard diddlysquat? I just heard they are preparing to head back to the bargaining table. Can you imagine if the owners and players called a press con-

ference and said, “You know what? We’ve been a bunch of knuckleheads. We talked it over and we don’t need any more of your money. We’re already making waaaay too much. We just want to open the arenas and play the game for our fans since they’re the ones who make it all possible. We apologize for losing sight of that. As a small token of our appreciation the first game is on us, including poutine fries and a beer.” Or better yet, take the 17 per cent they’re fighting over and deduct it from the ticket prices for the entire season.

HEALTH, MIND & BODY Smoking Cessation Program encourages healthy choice Since B.C.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Smoking Cessation Program launched a year ago on Sept. 30, 2011, 149,899 orders for smoking cessation products have been placed through HealthLink BC. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want to make the healthy choice the easy choice when it comes to quitting smoking,â&#x20AC;? said Minister of Health Dr. Margaret MacDiarmid in the press release. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the first year since the launch of our Smoking Cessation Program, thousands of British Columbians have taken the all important step to quitting, which is one of the best ways to reduce health risks such as cancer, heart disease and asthma.â&#x20AC;? The program is easily accessed by calling 8-1-1, available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and aims to help British Columbians stop smoking by assisting with the cost of smoking cessation aids. Once in each calendar year, B.C. residents enrolled with the Medical Services Plan can receive PharmaCare coverage for a single continuous course of a prescribed smoking cessation drug or a free 12-week supply of nicotine replacement gum or patches. Between Sept. 30, 2011 - the programâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s launch date - and Sept. 30, 2012, 149,899 or-

ders were placed for free access to nicotine replacement therapies (NRTs) through 8-1-1. As well, over 40,000 people have obtained a prescription for a smoking cessation drug while visiting their physician for another reason. NRTs are over-thecounter medications that contain nicotine and work to reduce withdrawal symptoms. They act as a substitute for the nicotine smokers would get through smoking. Through the Smoking Cessation Program, PharmaCare covers the prescription drugs varenicline (Champix) and bupropion (Zyban). These drugs do not contain nicotine, but work on the brain to manage withdrawal symptoms and cravings and reduce the urge to smoke. British Columbians who register with the program are able to receive further support from QuitNow Services (â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;QuitNowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;), which is operated by the BC Lung Association. HealthLink BC staff can transfer callers directly to QuitNow. Since the Smoking Cessation Program began, QuitNow has had more than 20,000 contacts with individuals interested in quitting. More than 11,000 people have registered for QuitNow web, text and telephone

support. â&#x20AC;&#x153;QuitNow offers quit-smoking supports, which complement the Smoking Cessation Program. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re very pleased at the programâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s success and to see so many British Columbians seeking help to quit,â&#x20AC;? said BC Lung Association CEO Scott McDonald. In April, QuitNow Services further enhanced its web programs to include a live-chat service that offers instant, no-wait coaching for online members to help support their efforts in quitting tobacco. The live- chat service is staffed by QuitNow coaches from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., Monday to Friday and from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekends and holidays. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every year tobaccorelated deaths rob us needlessly of friends, family and loved ones.

I personally know how difficult it is to quit,â&#x20AC;? says Premier Christy Clark in the press release. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tobacco is the largest single cause of premature death and disease in our province, and although the numbers show that a lot of progress has been made, there is still more we can do. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m so proud that one year later, our program continues to provide smokers with a new level of direct support to quit, to live smokefree, and to improve their own health as well as the health of their families.â&#x20AC;? Canadian Cancer Society, BC and Yukon, CEO Barbara Kaminsky says: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cancer prevention depends on healthy living and healthy public policies. We canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t underestimate the positive health impact quitting smoking

News Clark vows new construction projects

Williams Lake Weekend Friday, October 5, 2012

Premier Christy Clark announced $207 million worth of accelerated capital projects, including roadworks, school and hospital improvements in her speech to close the Union of B.C. Municipalities convention Friday. Clark said accelerated projects will be announced in the weeks ahead, including school improvements in Nanaimo, Campbell River, Houston, Surrey, Richmond, Mission, Maple Ridge and West Vancouver. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These are new projects that we can get started this year, but this capital investment is not new money,â&#x20AC;? Clark told a Victoria convention hall packed with local politicians. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is money we

have saved from pinching our pennies, and I am very proud of that.â&#x20AC;? Clark also pledged the four-laning the last 240 km of the Trans-Canada Highway from Kamloops to the Alberta border, a project expected to cost $650 million over the next 10 years. The commitment adds $509 million to the existing B.C. budget of $141 million over three years, with federal cost sharing to be negotiated. She also announced the beginning of planning work for replacement of the 54-year-old George Massey tunnel under the Fraser River from Richmond to South Delta. Taking questions after the speech, Clark said the accelerated capital projects

News Premiers’ pipeline meeting short, not sweet

Tom Fletcher Black Press Premier Christy Clark’s meeting with Alberta Premier Alison Redford Monday lasted only 15 minutes, and didn’t resolve any of their differences about the Enbridge heavy oil pipeline proposal. Clark spoke by phone with reporters after what she described as a “frosty and quite short” meeting with Redford in Calgary. She said she reiterated her government’s five conditions for supporting the

Northern Gateway pipeline, including one about B.C. needing a “fair share” of benefits from the line. The other four conditions are for the project to pass a federal environmental review, and for “world leading” spill response on land and on water, as well as meeting legal requirements for aboriginal and treaty rights along the route from northern Alberta to Kitimat. Redford told reporters in Calgary after the meeting that she reiterated her po-

sition that giving up any of Alberta’s oil royalties is “a nonstarter.” She said she asked Clark to propose other ways that B.C. could increase benefits, but Clark offered no response. “I gave her the opportunity, more than once in the meeting, to say that royalties aren’t on the table, and she didn’t take that,” Redford said. Clark said it’s not her job to find ways of increasing benefits to B.C. “It is up to whoever is going to ben-

efit from this project to come forward and advocate for it. In my view, that’s her,” Clark said. “I said to her today, as it stands right now, there is absolutely no way that British Columbia will support this proposal.” As Clark was preparing for her meeting, B.C. Environment Minister Terry Lake told a Kamloops radio station that benefits for B.C. could mean more value-added jobs, such as refining the oil.

Hunting Season in the Cariboo

Fall 2012

Hints for tracking game Some hunters are unskilled in tracking when they are walking in the woods or scouting a hunting territory. You know this if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve ever been walking ahead of

a hunting companion who called you out for walking right by such invaluable clues! Whenever youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in the woods, get in the habit of detecting the

tracks made by your chosen game. Learn how to recognize male and female hoof or paw prints and as well as their average size. That way, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be able to

tell if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re following a large male or a young female. Their tracks will also tell you the direction in which the animal is heading, and if they are fresh they will signal you to move stealthily.

Droppings are another important indication of an animalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s proximity or passage through a territory. Learn to identify the different types of scat and know how fresh it is. Rub marks on trees, paw scrapes

on the ground made by game in rut, as well as broken twigs and hairs caught in branches are all important tracking signs. The more you walk in the woods, the more aware you will become

of this kind of detail, and the more your hunting skills will improve. Expertise comes with time and concentration, but above all, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be afraid to ask for tips from more experienced hunters and trackers.

Hunting Season in the Cariboo

Fall 2012

My first wild turkey hunt utes and made a few female calls. A big turkey flew over my calls and landed 20 metres behind me. As I continued the female calls, I saw two males emerge from the woods. The first one, with his throat

and neck fully puffed up, rushed my juvenile male call and hit it. That was much more action than Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d been expecting! I waited a few seconds then lined up my sights on the second male, which was quite a bit big-

ger. I made a small sound so it would lift its head, and I took my

shot. My first turkey hunt was over. What a thrill!

Ultimate Wild Game Rub 1/4 cup kosher salt 1/4 cup ground black pepper 1/4 cup sweet paprika 1 tablespoon brown sugar 1 tablespoon granulated sugar 2 tablespoons dried thyme 2 tablespoons garlic powder 1 tablespoon onion powder 1 tablespoon juniper berries, crushed and minced 1 tablespoon cayenne pepper Combine all the ingredients in a bowl and mix well. For best results, use your fingers to fully distribute the juniper oils. This makes 1 1/4 cups, enough for 8 to 10 pounds of meat. Kept away from heat and light, it will last up to 6 months.

The very first time I went turkey hunting was on a beautiful May morning. I was one of the lucky ones whose name had been drawn to participate in an experimental hunt in my area. After completing an on-line course and passing the exam, I was ready for this totally new experience. I went to the hunting area to do some scouting and work out a strategy. In the field bordering the woods that I have access to, I was lucky enough to spot a group of three females and two males, one of which was huge.I decided that this was definitely the right spot for the next dayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hunt.At that point I was feeling a bit rushed, and so despite the expertsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; advice to focus on looking for a nest in order to hunt in a close circle around them, I decided to come back and hunt there anyway. I arrived at my hunting site thirty minutes before sunrise. I made my way through the field where Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d seen the birds and entered the woods. I make a few owl calls in order to locate the males, and they immediately responded. Three males were 100 metres from me, still in their nests. The powerful sound of the birds sent a surge of adrenalin through my veins. I quickly set up my two female calls and a juvenile male one and then settled down next to a tree. I waited a few min-

BCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s economy fair, but global economic uncertainty remains a concern According to the recent BC Business Outlook Survey, administered by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of BC, the majority of B.C.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s CAs rated the current provincial economic climate as either fair or good. However this optimism was tempered by uncertainly around the global economy, and upcoming changes to provincial tax policy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Most CAs in the province recognize that B.C. has come

out of the recession on better footing than many other jurisdictions.â&#x20AC;? said Richard Rees, FCA, CEO of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of BC. â&#x20AC;&#x153;However, on-going uncertainty in the American and European markets has the capacity to stall economic growth,â&#x20AC;? continued Rees. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It also remains to be seen how the reinstatement of the PST/ GST will impact our economy over the long term.â&#x20AC;?

The top six issues CAs identified as either major or moderate challenges to business success were: uncertainty with regard to the global, Canadian, and provincial economic climates, attracting and retaining high caliber employees/skilled labour, the ability to raise capital, and housing prices. The majority of respondents also listed the re-engineering of a value added tax system as the most important thing the provincial government can

do to improve B.C.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s economy, followed by reducing red tape. Seventy-nine per cent of CAs working in public practice responded that an increase in corporate tax rates could impact their clientsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; business investment plans, while seventy per cent of those working in industry felt a tax increase could impact their organizationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s investment plans. When asked to rate the B.C. governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s management of the economy, 5 per

cent of respondents thought they were doing an excellent job, 37 per cent rated the governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s performance as good, 46 per cent rated it as fair, and 12 per cent rated it as poor. On the current state of B.C.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s economy, 1 per cent of respondents rated B.C.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s economy as excellent, 36 per cent as good, 59 per cent as fair, and 5 per cent as poor. The BC Business Outlook Survey was conducted in August 2012. Six hundred

and twelve CAs completed the survey. Those who participated were almost evenly split between industry (49 per cent) and public practice (40 per cent). Half of the respondents worked for companies with more than 50 employees, and just over two-thirds were from the Lower Mainland. The Institute of Chartered Accountants of British Columbia is the training, governing and regulatory body of B.C.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 11,000 members and

just over 1,800 CA students. The Institute carries out its primary mission to protect the public by enforcing the most demanding admission criteria and the highest professional and ethical standards. Thanks to the quality and rigour of their education and training, CAs are recognized internationally for bringing superior financial expertise, strategic thinking, business insight and leadership to organizations.Â

Being able to learn to read and write is a long process of language development. Babies’ brains develop very rapidly. So reading and singing to your baby helps the brain to understand words and rhymes. Bright pictures and colours in books develop imagination and creativity. Studies show that children who are read to every day do better in school because they have better vocabulary, language and listening skills. Cariboo Chilcotin Partners for Literacy promotes reading for young children. Books for Babies provides every newborn with a bag con-

taining four books and some helpful brochures for mom. The bags are given out by Welcome Wagon, Public Health nurses or the various First Nations health groups. Williams Lake Kiwanis Club funds this long-running program. The Bright Red Bookshelf program puts bookshelves in public places. Children can take a book home to read, or share while waiting. CCPL relies on donations of gently used children’s books to keep the bookshelves full. Donated books are cleaned and labeled by volunteers with the Assisted Community Living programs. Hundreds of new children’s books are given away at community events throughout the year at events

Baby Welcome

such as Family Fest, Children’s Festival and Aboriginal Day in Williams Lake. In 100 Mile House, books are available at the Teddy Bear Picnic and Fall Fair. CCPL works with organizations such as Success by Six, Strong Start, Child Development Centre and Women’s Contact Society to give children books.

Children of all ages enjoy puppets. CCPL volunteers work with the Williams Lake Public Library and the Summer Reading Club to use puppets to tell stories and poems for groups of children and their parents. Puppet making workshops were enjoyed by children in the Boitanio Day Camp program this

Partners for Literacy photo contest deadline Oct. 10 The Cariboo Chilcotin Partners for Literacy photo contest deadline is coming up Wednesday, Oct. 10. The contest started Wednesday, Sept.12 and includes three prizes for the three best photos Have your pictures show us what literacy means to you and have fun, says

spokesperson Melody Newcomb. There is a prize for the best adult (over 18 years), for a child (under 18 years) and a random third prize. The photos that were entered in last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s contest were great. The photos showed big imagination and creativity. CCPL has decided to make the photo

contest an annual event. The contest is really simple. You take a picture of someone using his or her literacy skills. So what are literacy skills. Those are the skills you use when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re reading, writing and using math skills. This could be a cashier at one of Wil-

liamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Lake stores ringing up your order or your friend reading the Williams Lake Tribune newspaper while having their morning coffee, you decide. Grab your camera and start taking pictures of your children, friends, co-workers, and neighbours. Everyone is en-

couraged to enter. Once you have your photo email it to melodynewcombe@ gmail.com as a full jpeg, meaning you send your photo in its original size. If you are sending a photograph by regular mail send it to M. Newcombe, P.O. Box 48, 108 Mile Ranch, BC, V0K 2Z0. All photos will

be published on the CCPLâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website at www.caribooliteracy.com. Some of the photos may be used in a promotional calendar that CCPL is working on. All photos will be property of CCPL for promotional use. The photos must identify the person or persons in the photo

and you must submit their (first and last names) left to right. The person or persons in the photo must agree to have his or her name published. We look forward to seeing your photos and good luck to everyone. Melody Newcombe is a literacy support worker.

The definition of a word can change significantly over time. To put a spin on a Bob Dylan song,â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Meanings they are a Changing!â&#x20AC;? It seems that the definition of â&#x20AC;&#x153;toleranceâ&#x20AC;? has changed significantly in recent years. Today a tolerant person is understood as someone who is occupies the neutral ground on any topic. They are impartial on all ideas and believe each person must decide truth for themselves. A tolerant person would never judge anotherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chosen truthâ&#x20AC;Śever. To the tolerant, all ideas are equally valid and there is no higher social value than for each person to be defended from anyone who would publically disagree with their personal truths. Any person who would question anotherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s truths is viewed with stunned horror and is quickly labeled as â&#x20AC;&#x153;intolerant.â&#x20AC;? According to this new of tolerance, I stand before you guilty of the crime of â&#x20AC;&#x153;intolerance,â&#x20AC;? because I find this idea, not only logically inconsistent, but simply stupid to boot! If we look closely, we can see that â&#x20AC;&#x153;todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s toleranceâ&#x20AC;? assumes two premises or truths. The first premise is that, â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is no truth.â&#x20AC;? This is contradictory. How can someone claim, as an obvious truth, that there is no truth? The second premise

PARSONS PEN BY REVEREND BUBBA is that, â&#x20AC;&#x153;We ought to tolerate, even accept as valid, every viewpoint.â&#x20AC;? This second premise is simply naive. How can we seriously say that every view on an issue is equally valid regardless of evidence, history, legality, morality and common sense? Just because someone states an opinion does not make it in any way valid. If I wanted an opinion on astrophysics, I would not hold the views of a Grade 10 science student as equally valid as the views of Stephen Hawking. That would be silly. Tolerance, as it was originally understood, was NOT applied to IDEASâ&#x20AC;Śall ideas were not assumed

to be created equal. Tolerance was applied to PERSONS. Voltaire stated it most simply and profoundly, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.â&#x20AC;? Classically, a tolerant person was one who viewed all people as equals in value and therefore worthy of having an opinion which should be heard in the public square. A tolerant man does not have to â&#x20AC;&#x153;agree with youâ&#x20AC;? or â&#x20AC;&#x153;be on your sideâ&#x20AC;? in order to fight for your right to hold and express your ideas. Tolerance is not a naĂŻve idea that all ideas are equally valid, nor is it the absurd claim, that there is no truth. According to Einstein, â&#x20AC;&#x153;â&#x20AC;Śtolerance is notâ&#x20AC;Śindifference. Tolerance means to value the right of another person to hold beliefs that you know are absolutely wrong.â&#x20AC;? Jesus is an example of tolerance. He showed great love for people with whom he disagreed. Jesus embraced people who society viewed as valueless. His tolerance was never neutral though, he embraced the person while disagreeing with their ideas or life choices. Even today Jesus loves us often in spite of our ideas and choices, all the while calling us to change our ways and embrace a life that pursues truth and love.

New Prosperity Gold-Copper Mine Project Federal Review Panel

PUBLIC NOTICE

REVIEW PANEL INVITES PUBLIC COMMENT ON ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT FOR PROPOSED NEW PROSPERITY GOLD-COPPER MINE PROJECT The Federal Review Panel for the proposed New Prosperity Gold-Copper Mine Project is inviting the public to comment on the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) filed by the proponent, Taseko Mines Limited. The EIS, submitted to the Panel on September 26, 2012, provides an analysis of the potential environmental effects of the proposed project. The 45-day comment period gives Aboriginal groups, the public, governments and other participants an opportunity to submit their views in writing to the Panel on the sufficiency of the information presented in the EIS and on its technical merit. The EIS Guidelines, issued on March 16, 2012, provide direction to the proponent and identify the information that is required in the EIS. The purpose of the comment period is to obtain the public’s views on the adequacy of the information provided in the EIS as measured against the EIS Guidelines. Opportunities to present overall views on the project will be provided at the subsequent public hearing. The Panel will determine if the EIS is sufficient to proceed to public hearing based on its own review and on its review of the comments received from the public. Should the Panel determine the EIS is insufficient, it will request the proponent to address the gaps identified. The Panel must receive all comments on the EIS in writing by November 11, 2012. All comments will be considered public and posted on the online registry for this project. Forward your written comments in either official language by mail or e-mail to the attention of: Livain Michaud, Panel Manager Federal Review Panel – New Prosperity Project 160 Elgin Street, Ottawa, ON K1A 0H3 Tel.: 613-948-1359 / 1-866-582-1884 NewProsperityReview@ceaa-acee.gc.ca The EIS and the EIS Guidelines, along with more information on this project, are available on the Canadian Environmental Assessment Registry at www.ceaa-acee.gc.ca , registry number 63928. Paper copies of the EIS have been made available by the proponent in locations near the project area. To be kept informed of the progress of the review, provide an e-mail address to the panel manager above. About the project The proponent, Taseko Mines is proposing to develop an open pit gold-copper mine located 125 km southwest of Williams Lake, B.C.

CHIP health program comes to Williams Lake Cameron Johnston The Community Health Improvement Program (CHIP) begins in Williams Lake Oct. 21 with volunteer codirectors Dr. Glenn Gill and Chrys Mills, RN. CHIP is a unique health education program with proven results in preventing and reversing chronic diseases including heart disease and diabetes. Two free information sessions will be held on Wednesday, Oct. 10 and Monday, Oct. 15 at 7 p.m. at the Cariboo Lifestyle Centre, 26 Woodland Rd. Everyone is welcome to come and check out this great lifestyle makeover program. Full info online at: www.silverhillsontheroad.com/ wlchip It is true. In 30 days CHIP can help you reduce your risk of heart disease, normalize blood pressure, lower cholesterol and triglycerides, stabilize fasting blood sugar, reduce BMI, improve sleep, resilience and depression. CHIP offers participants the complete health education they need to make wise diet and lifestyle changes and the help and motivation to stick with them. Dr. Gill, a local physican and co-direc-

tor says, “it’s easy to tell people they need to make changes in their lifestyle for better health but how to accomplish that is not so easy. CHIP shows why a lifestyle change may be needed but also gives the motivation and support to continue with healthy changes.” Dr. Stefan De Swardt, another local physican, first heard about CHIP from a patient attending a program in Quesnel and since then he has had several patients attend there. He says, “CHIP is a great program. All my patients that have attended have had big reductions in weight and cholesterol. I strongly recommend it.” “When a person understands how their body works and what the foods that they eat do to their body, they have the education they need to understand not only why they need to make these changes, but how to do it. With knowledge comes power, and with the power CHIP participants get from the program, they are able to make the changes necessary and have the support to stick with them,” continues Dr. Gill. The CHIP program meets three times a week for four weeks with video presentations at each session by the

dynamic speaker and founder of CHIP, Dr. Hans Diehl. Included in the program are before and after blood work and health screenings to help participants see the amazing improvement they make in just 30 days! There will also be healthy food samples each evening, excellent reference materials and a graduation banquet for family and friends. “I have taken on the role of co-director because I am a believer in the CHIP program,” says Chrys Mills a local nurse. “I know we will see great results here as participants have been seen in communities around the world.” When you enroll in CHIP, the low materials fee of $295 per person or $395 per couple includes: a trained facilitator to coach you to better health in 30 days, a helpful team of friendly people to teach you skills in cooking and preparing new foods, two health screens, two clinical lifestyle evaluations, dynamic health and lifestyle lectures, the CHIP textbook and workbook and other helpful materials plus ongoing support to help you stay on the program for a long healthy life. We expect CHIP participants in Williams Lake to experience results similar to those from the thousands of

other places where the program has been. For example, one community in Washington state saw in participants, a 17% Cholesterol drop with some participants dropping up to 40%, weight losses averaged from 7 to 29 pounds per participant with blood pressure, triglycerides, and heart rates also showing dramatic improvement. Plus diabetics showed great improvement in lowering insulin with some dropping their need for it completely in just 8 weeks by continuing on the program with guidance from their physician. No drugs, no gimmicks, just straight forward inspiring education on how to make healthy choices so that you can enjoy a lifetime of better health. Come to one of two free information sessions and check this out. Info sessions will be held on Wednesday, October 10 and Monday, October 15 at 7 PM at the Cariboo Lifestyle Centre, 26 Woodland Rd. For more info or to register for an info session call 778-4125279 or email: info@ wlchip.ca Full info is online at: www.silverhillsontheroad.com/ wlchip CHIP is made available by Adventist Health Williams Lake a local non-profit organization.
