WF growing AUTUMN MacDONALD Observer Reporter Strong Canadian plywood prices and an increase in U.S. housing starts are credited for West Fraser’s positive third quarter results. The company reported earnings for the third quarter of 2012 of $55 million and earnings per share of $1.27 on sales of $772 million. For the first nine months of 2012, earnings were $65 million and earnings per share were $1.51, on sales of $2.2 billion. In the quarter, the lumber segment generated operating earnings of $37 million and operating earnings plus amortization (EBITDA) of $58 million. The company stated lumber prices continued to reflect gradually improving U.S. demand, combined with continuing steady demand for Canadian lumber from both Canada and Asia. “Higher benchmark lumber prices triggered a reduction in duties charged on softwood lumber exported to the U.S. from B.C. and Alberta during the quarter,” the release states. In the company’s panel segment, including plywood, laminated veneer lumber and medium density fibreboard, generated earnings of $22M and EBITDA of $25 million, which the company says reflects strong Canadian plywood price tags. Pulp and paper generated $17M and EBITDA of $28M. This is in line with the company’s previous quarter. The average northern bleached softwood kraft price dropped to US$853 from $900. “But reduced costs resulted in a marginal improvement in operating earnings compared with the previous quarter,” the company stated. West Fraser also announced that it has entered into an agreement to purchase the Sundance sawmilling and remanufacturing operations based in Edson, Alberta and related timber harvesting rights. The company stated facilities have an operational capacity of approximately 150 million board feet and the annual allowable harvest is approximately 795,000 m3 of coniferous and 53,000 m3 of deciduous trees, including a temporary uplift of approximately 375,000 m3 until 2017. “We are pleased to have an opportunity to grow our business in Alberta and we are excited to welcome the Sundance employees to the West Fraser team,” West Fraser CEO Hank Ketcham said.

hen George Young’s wife fell ill, he found himself needing a way to keep occupied and to keep his mind busy. He decided to recount his family’s history at Fort Alexandria through photographs. “My wife had a really bad stroke and then she had lung cancer, so for three years I sat by her bed,” Young said. “Because I had to be with her, I needed something to
do, something to keep my mind going.” Young was born in Quesnel in 1943 and lived in the McGuiness Roadhouse. “I spent about two years in the McGuiness Roadhouse, down in Alexandria,” he explained. “My parents were quite involved in Fort Alexandria. “My dad ran the telegraph line and this is the key they used to talk on,” he explained, pointing to a photo of the telegraph his father used. While at his wife’s
bedside, Young decided to compile the photos he’d taken and kept for the last 60 years into books. “What I’ve done is recreate my life I saw as a seven year old,” he explained. “I had all these pictures in a folder and no one looked at them.” Young found that as time went by, he’s wanted to make sure his family’s history is told. “Time goes by so fast,” Young said. “A lot of people I know are passing away and their stories have never been

told.” Young was encouraged to recreate his history at Fort Alexandria as the fort is quickly deteriorating. “Our family lived there for three generations. “I thought there’s so much history here and right now there’s nothing
left; it’s just an old empty field,” he explained. Young’s family lived in the McGuiness Roadhouse for two years before they moved to New Westminster. When he was seven, his family moved back to Fort Alexandria, which he described as the “gateway to the Cariboo.” Young has started doing a segment with Shaw cable, where he explores different parts of the area, incorporating some of the photos he’s taken.

Making a difference in our daily lives NDP candidate for Prince George - Valemount Sherry Ogasawara left, NDP critic for mining Doug Donaldson, and NDP candidate for Prince George – Mackenzie Bobby Deepak talk about what they see as a lack of foresight on the part of the Liberals in training British Columbians to fill skilled labour jobs during a press conference on Tuesday. DeLynda Pilon photo
NDP critics say lack of foresight DeLYNDA PILON Prince George Free Press Bringing 200 temporary foreign workers from China to fill underground mining positions at HD Mining’s operation in Tumbler Ridge isn’t likely what the B.C. people thought the province’s job plan meant, according to NDP MLA and mining critic Doug Donaldson. Donaldson stopped in Prince George on Tuesday to discuss what they see as the Liberals’ failure to partner their jobs plan with what he described as a fulsome training program. “Some communities in B.C face a 60 to 90 per cent unemployment rate,” Donaldson said. He added these men and women would enjoy the opportunity to develop the skills to get jobs like the ones being filled by the temporary workers. He said the province knew about the mining project in 2007 and that HD Mining intended to bring foreign workers QUESNEL

in to fill the positions. “That’s enough time to get training in place for locals,” Donaldson said. Then, in 2008, a ministry task force was formed to look at future training needs. One recommendation included training more underground mine workers, however it was never acted upon. Then, in 2011 the government sent a trade mission to China. The NDP sent a Freedom of Information request and received MLA Pat Bell’s speaking notes. In them, Donaldson said, was confirmation the minister knew the company’s intent on bringing in the foreign workers. At the same time, 200 above-ground workers will be hired from B.C. Donaldson questions why a better deal wasn’t made on behalf of the province’s workers. He said there could have been more in-
depth negotiations so that the Chinese workers and British Colombian employees worked side-by-side. At the very least, Donaldson said, the local workers could have benefited from some training from the foreign workers so as not to lose out on future opportunities. “I don’t blame the Chinese workers. I blame the Liberal government,” Donaldson said. He added, as temporary foreign workers, the Chinese workers in question are doing what needs to be done to fill the skills gap. The point, he said, is if the Liberals had taken note regarding what HD Mining said in 2007, there was plenty of time to train locals for the positions about to be opened up. He added he would really like to have a look at the trade agreement the premier set up at
that time with the company. Donaldson said it’s time the government took note that B.C. has the natural resources the world needs and ensures the province isn’t sold short when bargaining agreements, but instead makes sure all those who live here benefit from them. Sherry Ogasawara, NDP candidate for Prince GeorgeValemount, added that the faculty at CNC was taken off guard because it wasn’t consulted regarding the
upcoming need for underground mine workers. “This is a symptom of a deeper problem,” Bobby Deepak, who holds the nomination for the Prince GeorgeMackenzie riding, said. “Right now IPG is in Ireland recruiting foreign workers from various industries. “We have high unemployment in some areas,” Deepak explained. “These are big issues for Canadians in general. Don’t tell me there aren’t enough skilled workers to fill these jobs in all of Canada.” PRESENTS

OPINIONS
Idiot proof “Humiliation is the beginning of sanctification.”
–John Donne
S
ure it’s humiliating, but it just might work. According to court records a woman caught on camera driving onto a sidewalk to avoid a Cleveland school bus unloading children has been ordered to stand at an intersection wearing a sign. On it? “Only an idiot drives on the sidewalk to avoid a school bus.” The judge further ordered the woman to wear the sign from 7:45 a.m. until 8:45 a.m. for two days next week. The woman’s license was also suspended for 30 days and she was slapped with $250 in court costs. But it’s the sign, the message and the humiliation of the punishment that might just shame this woman into using common sense the next time she gets behind the wheel. This approach could be used for a variety of infractions. Take drinking and driving. Can you imagine standing at Carson and Reid with a bright neon sign strapped to your chest? It might read “Only an idiot drinks and drives.” I think the thought of your community driving by and judging your stupid ass (and rightly so) would be deterrent enough for most. The same can be applied to our fine drug trafficking citizens. Aside from jail time and court fees they are also ordered to stand at Spirit Square with a brightly coloured sign held above their heads: “Only an idiot sells drugs.” Simple, effective, entertaining and cheap. When behaviour is a problem and the threat of jail time, suspensions and monetary repercussions aren’t enough, shame should work. And these people should be embarrassed. Their behaviour is not acceptable, whether it’s out of sheer stupidity or for selfish reasons. Perhaps the threat of public humiliation would help keep our streets and children a little safer. –Autumn MacDonald, Observer
Here’s a real smart meter deal T
wo very different scenes unfolded at opposite ends of the province last week. In the remote northwest corner of B.C., the first power line towers started going up to connect Highway 37 communities to the BC Hydro grid. The Nisga’a, Tahltan and other aboriginal communities will soon have reliable power, as well as much-needed training and jobs during clearing and construction. Meanwhile down on the Gulf Islands, the most hysterical, dishonest campaign against smart meters I’ve heard of so far went into high gear. I’ve obtained a mass e-mail from the head anti-smart meter organizer on Salt Spring Island that shows the mentality at work here. (Corix is the BC Hydro contractor that has installed more than a million meters and has approached the Gulf Islands with trepidation, the last area of B.C. to be done.) “Corix is attacking with 30 trucks on Mon the 22nd,” Chris Anderson wrote in October. “Poelpe [sic] are advised NOT to attend the Victoria pipeline
Tom Fletcher
B.C. Views rally but instead help defend agianst [sic] spymeter installations in their neighbourhoods.” Anderson’s self-appointed supporters fanned out across the island, attempting to turn away installers on the false assumption that everyone has fallen for their crackpot fear campaign. They managed to stop 12 per cent of the installations. Coincidentally, Anderson has been doing a brisk business selling $35 meter locks to gullible Salt Spring Islanders in recent months. They don’t work, and you’re not allowed to lock BC Hydro property anyway. Others have been sold official-looking “no smart meter” signs that don’t identify the customer, so they don’t work either. As for the term “spymeter,” I’ve reported on the weird theories spread by
marijuana mecca, installers have encountered many meter bypasses, wired up to steal hydro and conceal high consumption for grow ops. In addition to being illegal, they are a fire hazard that is removed when discovered. Installers also find more sophisticated cases of hydro theft. Removing the mechanical meter reveals a hole cut in the back of the case, so the dials can be turned back to hide a grow op’s power consumption. No wonder some people want to lock them down. Of course all of this is defeated by a smart grid system, so the growers and other crooks are angry. A BC Hydro official told me about one case where a user was told he had a bypass, and that it was being removed. His bill went from next to nothing to a reasonable level. The customer complained to the media, falsely inflating the amount of his bill and blaming an inaccurate smart meter.

Bill Vander Zalm in a video interview, where he claims smart meters are part of a global surveillance system that can even tell what you’re cooking. Vander Zalm has been outdone by one Brian Thiesen, who styles himself as the “chairman” of “Interior Smart Meter Awareness.” In September, the Merritt Herald reported on Theisen’s presentation to 20 unwary people in a church basement. He claimed wireless meters not only provide video surveillance of your house, they are also responsible for “dying bees” and “defective sperm and eggs” as well as disease and fires. Thiesen even claimed radiofrequency signals can “pull your PIN number directly out of your head.” Is there no limit to the nonsense some people will fall for? Surrey Fire Chief Len Garis co-authored a study that shows residential fires have decreased with the advent of smart meters. Which brings me to the ugliest opposition to this modernization, the criminal element. Here in North America’s

Freedom of press Editor: Re: Topham still waiting for formal charges in hate crimes accusation, Observer, Nov. 2. You recently published an account of the arrest and charging of a colleague in the Press who has written some very tainted articles. I certainly do not support his view point or in any way endorse his numerous, most often, unsupported allegations of conspiracy and manipulation especially by a particular group of citizens of a particular segment of the Middle East conglomerate

of family tribes some of which are aggregated into nations recognized by a majority of the UN membership. However, the free press is essential to a democratic nation or organization otherwise, there seems to be an almost natural dynamic action whereby a select group within the total membership of the nation or organization become tyrants to their own and sometimes others. Keep up the good work. David G. Sparks Surrey B.C.
Bouchie Lake outdoes itself Editor: Halloween was a huge success at the Bouchie Lake Hall. About 100 plus creatively costume children, with parents in tow (many costumed also) filled the Bouchie Lake Hall on Hallowed Eve. I always enjoy the elaborate costumes, but this year I was really “tricked”. As I lifted the garbage can lid and tossed in a napkin, the whole can erupted and a person popped up. Young man, you really surprised me – I will be very
cautious of lifting lids from now on! In the hall, hotdogs, hot chocolate, coffee and a beautifully decorated spooky cake kept everyone warm and energized. After a costume parade the tricksters went out to the parking lot where 50 plus vehicles were lined up waiting to hand out a bountiful of goodies This “tailgate” method has been very successful for the past few years. Parents and neighbours bring their goodies to the parking lot, children safely
go from vehicle to vehicle or tailgate to tailgate, and parents can watch without worrying. Parents who bring children also bring handouts. The evening concluded with a fireworks display that lit the sky to such perfection, snowflakes came down for a look. Congratulations on the Halloween success Bouchie Lake. It was fun to be a part of it. Anna Eastman Quesnel

Heed calls for end of hypocrisy on legalizing marijuana TOM FLETCHER Black Press
B.C. political leaders should stop pointing fingers at Ottawa and follow the lead of U.S. states on marijuana legalization, VancouverFraserview MLA Kash Heed says. A former B.C. public safety minister and commanding officer of the Vancouver Police drug and gang units, Heed spoke out as voters in Washington, Oregon and Colorado prepared to vote Tuesday on initiatives to regulate and tax the sale of marijuana for adults. Heed said Premier Christy Clark and NDP leader Adrian Dix have no difficulty speaking out about federally regulated interprovincial pipelines, but both defer to the federal jurisdiction on marijuana law. Action is needed to address the gang violence that goes along with the marijuana trade, he said. “There’s a lot of hypocrisy going around Victoria right now,” Heed said in an interview. “They’re speaking out of both sides of their mouths on different issues.” Both Clark and Dix have admitted to trying marijuana in their younger days, but both have indicated this year that they don’t plan to push for legalization. Dix said last week he has long advocated decriminalization, which
would reduce simple possession to a ticket offence. He said Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s measure to require jail time for growing more than six plants is the wrong direction, but B.C. can’t consider regulating and taxing sale until federal law allows it. A new Angus Reid poll, commissioned by a pro-legalization group called Stop the Violence B.C., shows support for legalization is up to 75 per cent. That’s up six per cent from last year and Heed has joined former attorneys general, doctors, police officers and others who have called for action. Heed said the same arguments were used when he joined the push for a supervised injection site in Vancouver. Provincial and local governments lobbied the federal government to allow pilot projects for the INSITE clinic and provided funding as well, he said. Heed said he has studied the results of 17 U.S. states that allow medical marijuana exemptions and 14 others that have tried decriminalization. “The problem with that is there’s still a black market in the production and distribution of marijuana,” he said. “And if you don’t get rid of that black market, the gangsters are still going to be involved in it and we’ll still have the violence on our streets.”

Carrying considerable sound

Local tuba-player performs with all-star concert band ANNIE GALLANT Observer Reporter
F
or Dylan Earle, it was the bigness and the low sound of the tuba that originally attracted him to the instrument. “If you were to take a portrait the tuba would fill the background,” he said of the sonic space the instrument commands. Although he’s been playing the tuba for a relatively short period of time, Dylan is also proficient on the piano, saxophone and trombone, making the transition a little less difficult. Correlieu music teacher Shawn Smith encouraged Dylan to audition for the Musical Educators Association all-star concert band which would perform to thousands of people during the association’s annual conference for high school and elementary teachers. Dylan auditioned for the wind ensemble. Of the hundreds who auditioned, 60 were accepted and the Quesnel Grade 12 student was one of them. The auditions were conducted via the Internet in April, when hopefuls submitted their recording of the supplied musical piece. Dylan said the audition piece was the most difficult part of the process. However, in retrospect, having the opportunity to practice the performance pieces may have taken some of the difficulty away. Students accepted for the all-star bands and choirs were advised in late June. “I was excited but very nervous; I didn’t know what to expect,” Dylan said. He was able to attend an initial practice – at the same time he received
the eight pieces to be performed at the October conference. Those who could make that session played together for just one day. Musicians were expected to learn the music perfectly by the performance. Shawn Smith said this is what professional musicians are expected to do. “You’re given the music and are expected to perform it a few days later,” he said. Dylan set about learning and practicing the music for the performance, two weeks later. “Once we arrived in Richmond, we had 20 hours of practice,” he added. The concert band was comprised of 17 different instruments with 60 musicians. Smith said the band had an orchestral sound, very large. Dylan admitted some of the music required major practicing, however, he was surprised at the relaxed rehearsals. “The conductor, Dr. Mark Hopkins, was a lot of fun and we enjoyed the hard work,” he said. “He’s a really good director.” Once the concert band took to the stage (they were one of the first performances), Dylan said he
stopped feeling nervous. “Once the music began, it all fell into place,” he said with a big smile. “I’ve never played to 2,000 people before.” Despite only a few practices and musicians who’d met just days before, Dylan said they all carried their weight musically and he was proud of their performance.
Smith said Dylan was the first Quesnel music student to perform in a concert band for this venue, but several previous students had performed in the Jazz band and choir for this prestigious provincial conference. While in the Lower Mainland, Dylan checked out the music program at UBC and talked to tuba teacher Peder MacLellan who also provided a two-hour lesson. “He said he liked my potential and said I did well for the length I’ve been playing,” Dylan said. “He was impressed as to how quickly I picked up his lesson.” Dylan also added a tip of the hat to his local tuba teacher, Matt Wood, a tuba player of some renown. Smith said the tuba can be an intimidating instrument for students to chose, however it’s advantageous for post-secondary ambitions. “There aren’t many tuba players,” he said. Dylan hopes to become a music teacher, but may try the professional route first (again, playing the tuba could be an advantage.) Performing with the all-star concert band is one of the pinnacles of Dylan’s high school performing, however he also plans to apply to the National Youth Orchestra, which performs during the showcase concerts at Musicfest held annually at the University of Toronto, May 13 – 18, 2013.

Another comedy in Kersley
Kersley Players are taking to the stage for the second time this year in the lighthearted romp Turn the Page, Nov. 22 – 24. In May, Kersley Players celebrated 25 years of theatrical excellence with a frock and tie performance of Blind Date. What better way to commemorate a quarter century of awardwinning theatre than with a metrosexual Big Foot. However, patrons of previous Players productions may notice a few changes from the tried and true with this upcoming production. First, this will be one of the few shows presented by the Kersley Players that has not been penned by the prolific local playwright Roy Teed. Turn the Page is in the same vein as a 1970s G-rated situation comedy. It’s the story of Gerald (Ron Potter) who just retired and is now spending all his time with wife Gwen (Lana Johnson) and their lay-about son Robert (Darrell Austin) who has no interest in anything but his computer. That is, until he meets newlydivorced next door neighbour Brenda (Tammy Steinbach.) The cast is completed with 16-year-old Carter De Rose and 12-year-old Celina De Rose who play Chris and Cindy. The changes on stage are not the only differences attendees will notice. All performances will be “show only.” No dinner will be offered, although if you’re prepared to share with the cast, they may let you bring in your own consumables – pizza preferred. Tickets can be purchased at Cariboo Propane, $10 each for performances Nov. 22 – 24 in Kersley Hall, showtime 7:30 p.m.

The best way of ensuring you reach your weight-loss goals is to keep a food journal. It’s really difficult to make changes in your diet if you aren’t keeping track of what you are eating. Two other hints about losing weight are: don’t skip meals and try not to eat out for lunch more than once per week. Health Canada’s website (healthcanada. gc.ca) has a section on Advisories and Warnings. This contains previously issued advisory, warning and recall notices about medications and herbals as well as interesting topics like microwave safety, handling fresh produce and using reusable grocery bags. Quite interesting! Pharmacists often hear the complaint, “My cold just won’t go away. I’ve had it for a month”! Colds generally last for 7-14 days. So if it lasts longer, you may have a secondary infection. It could be sinusitis, an ear infection or even a lung condition. See your doctor to be sure. World Diabetes Day is on November 14. The slogan for this year’s campaign is Diabetes: Protect Our Future. The main message of this campaign is to highlight the fact that the way we live is putting our health at risk.

Jonas Gagnon Sports Reporter
Touble staying out of trouble Mike Kaluzny rushes the net in Saturday’s 6-5 loss to the Lac La Hache Tomahawks. Jonas Gagnon photo
Jonas Gagnon Observer Reporter Penalty trouble resulted in a bitter loss from a promising initial ten minutes in The ‘Roos’ game against the Lac La Hache Tomahawks, Saturday. A 6-5 final in favour of the Tomahawks came courtesy of penalties, with every Tomahawk goal coming on the power play. "The penalties killed us, obviously – six power play goals. If you take that away, five on five they couldn’t touch us," assistant coach Wayne Holmes said. The 'Roos played well when they played, but runs of penalties and attempts to meet the Tomahawks on their own turf ultimately ended in disaster for the 'Roos. Keeping the puck down at the Tomahawks end for most of the first half of the first period, the 'Roos had control of the game, posting two goals within ten minutes. Mike Kaluzny nabbed the first goal on the power play, not two minutes into the game, seconds after the post-penalty face off. The 'Roos kept up the pressure, with
Joel Boyetchko burying the puck for the 'Roos’ second, just before the ten minute mark. With the 'Roos firmly in control of the game, the arena was loud with the optimism that comes with a two-goal lead. The Tomahawks started their fight back on the power play, with Brayden Penner in the box. The Tomahawks boxed the 'Roos into their own zone, playing keep away until Robin Gilbert took a hard shot from the point that found its way past Ryan Manderson in net, to put the
Tomahawks a single goal behind. The next goal came on stacked penalties for the 'Roos. Curtis Gassoff was the first to go in, with Kaluzny following not a minute later, after foregoing the puck in favour of playing the body on a shorthanded attempt for the 'Roos. Down two men, the 'Roos couldn't manage to keep control, with the Tomahawks' Anthony Sellars burying the puck and letting a single 'Roo out of the box. Still on the power play, the Tomahawks took advantage again, with Wade
Balbirnie sneaking the puck past Manderson and freeing the last 'Roo from the box. Suddenly, the Tomahawks were in the lead and the 'Roos were scrambling to keep up. With just over a minute left in the first, the 'Roos evened the score on a two man rush, with Justin Fulton bringing it end to end to score unassisted. Despite the even score, the 'Roos still had some control over the game, doubling the Tomahawks shots on goal by the end of the first period, 21-10. The second started slow, but a power play from a Lac La Hache penalty allowed Kaluzny to get his second of the night. The second started to sag after the goal, with the 'Roos being goaded into playing the Tomahawks' game and the Tomahawks waiting patiently for their chance to make things happen. “We started to play their type of game. We tried to stretch pass and that’s not our type of game We usually come out five guys together and when we got away from that we played right into their hands,” Holmes said. see PAGE A24

Super League Curling
Throwing rocks in ice houses
As kids were on the streets seeking candy from strangers in the cold, the super league was inside, but not any warmer, seeking to keep streaks alive and hit that button. Billy Barker faced off against Karen's Deli in a game that didn't see much up on the score board. It was a real yawn fest on sheet 'A', as Billy 'manwiched' the Deli for an unimpressive win. Despite their record, Karin’s still have the freshest meat in town! CDC and DLE traded points on sheet 'B'. The mighty DLE tractor sputtered to start, then surged, but it wasn't enough to pull past the grey and hair challenged kids, thus putting an end to DLE's three game
winning streak. On sheet 'C' Frank's Supermarket washed away the Investors Group. Investors, still reeling from Hurricane Sandy closing the New York Stock Exchange, were barely treading water before Frank’s triplescored them in the
last end. All attending fans were given a free Apex fishing lure! A&W fought to continue their streak against Cariboo Pulp on sheet 'D.' They won, and then there was one! A&W remains the only undefeated team in the super league with an 8-4 win over

Down to the wire from A22 That chance came on another 'Roos penalty at 8:55, which resulted in a Tomahawks goal at 7:25. Another 'Roos' penalty not a minute later resulted in another power play goal from the point to give the Tomahawks the go ahead. Hampered by penalties, the 'Roos couldn't manage much on the offensive, though a couple of nice chances, including a shorthanded charge that had the puck ringing off the post, kept the crowd optimistic about the 'Roos' ability to come back. Manderson did his part as well, slamming the door on a perfect pass from the corner that had him splayed across the net. The third started slow, and struggled for any speed, as calls for an even-handed, steady game from the Tomahawks bench saw the Lac La Hache team pull it back to keep themselves from penalty trouble. The tactic was rewarded when a stream of penalties kept coming the 'Roos way, keeping the game from picking up pace. Power play? With six minutes left in the final period, a one-timer by Gilbert off a pass from the corner gave Manderson no chance and gave the Tomahawks a pillow. Looking defeat square in the eye, the 'Roos found a spark and a goal with just under two and a half minutes left. With just a goal separating the two teams, the 'Roos found their optimism again, pulling their goalie in an effort to press the game into overtime. Despite the effort, and a heap of pressure from the 'Roos, they couldn't sneak it between the posts, leaving the Tomahawks with the victory. The 'Roos start a long string of away games in Williams Lake next Saturday. Their next home game is another bat at the Tomahawks, Dec. 8 at 7:30 p.m.
