At 5:31 p.m. the occupant of a residence on MacKenzie Avenue called to report that an intoxicated male had broken into his house and appeared to be confused. The male perpetrator had jumped on the hood of a vehicle to gain access to the premises. The male was described as First Nations, short hair, large teeth and mouth, black hoodie, jeans, and approximately 21 to

The male in that case had threatened the occupant of the residence on Second Avenue. Police located and arrested the perpetrator and the matter is still under investigation pending court action. Feb. 25 At 7:50 a.m. RCMP responded to a report of a theft from vehicle
on Commodore Crescent. The owner of the vehicle stated that the locked vehicle was broken into between 5 p.m. to 11:30 p.m. Feb 24. In the morning the owner noticed that the cash box for her business was on the ground and her vehicle had been broken into. Cash inside the cash box had been stolen. Road checks conducted by police resulted in examining 60 vehicles. Numerous infractions under the Motor Vehicle Act were identified.

The interesting part about buying a package of scissors is you need a pair of scissors in order to open the package of scissors. If you bought the scissors to replace a pair that hasn’t been sharp since the seventies you’re forced to use the dull scissors one last time to open the superior scissor set. While this will reaffirm why you bought the new scissors, it’s kind of heartless when you think about it. It’s sort of like firing someone and then telling them they have to go pick up their replacement at the airport. The crappy scissors at least have the satisfaction of knowing they released the trapped ones. “So you shiny, fancy, snippers, not so snippy in your pretty package now are you? If I hadn’t come along you’d still be trapped in there. Trapped I say!” I worry about someone setting up their first home and buying their first package of scissors. What are they supposed to do? Or what if you already recycled the old pair? Then what? Of course, what I really

should be worried about is the time I am spending thinking about any of this; particularly the feelings of a dull pair of scissors. It’s like that old Ikea commercial where the couple breaks their ceramic creamer and has to buy a new one. The camera pans in on the old cow shaped creamer lying on the curb with the trash in the rain while in the background you see the couple happily pouring cream into their tea cups with its replacement. A voice says, “Aw, do you feel sorry for the little creamer? That’s because you’re crazy. Creamers don’t have feelings. Come to Ikea and get a better one.” I needed my new scissor set for doing something I loosely call art. I would never call myself an artist, though I suppose there is nothing so bold in that. It’s not as if I’m saying I am a great artist just that I enjoy dabbling in art. There are so many levels to art that I won’t begin to discern between them. Anyone who explores their creative urges and sees it through until they

have birthed an idea into something they can hold in their hands has my respect. Canada as a whole seems to have an abundance of creative people; singers, songwriters, musicians, quilters, painters, sculptors, potters, poets, jewelry makers and the list goes on. Our collective imagination is limitless. I think our climate plays a huge role. Our long winters are perhaps our most valuable mentor and muse. I believe everyone is creative; some people are just able to suppress it more than others. However, inside everyone is some kind of creative impulse straining to be unleashed. I say, release the hounds! I know some people feel art is unnecessary,
but pause for a moment to think what our world would look like without creative minds. Even if you would rather poke hot needles in your eye than spend an afternoon at an art museum, I challenge you to go through your day imagining your environment without art; a world where everything is completely utilitarian. No music, no unnecessary patterns, no colour. No pretty logos on planes or City signs or vending
machines. No designs on tissue boxes, blankets or shoes. Next time you’re enjoying a meal in a fancy restaurant imagine the same experience without pictures on the walls, soft music in the background or unnecessary decor of any kind. What if there wasn’t even a jar of macaroni on a ledge? What if food was simply plopped on a plate without so much as a parsley sprig to make it look appealing? Would

It’s not hard to imagine what the most common medical problems are in Canada by looking at the top ten drugs prescribed in 2012. This list includes a drug for hypothyroidism, two for lowering cholesterol, three blood pressure pills, one antibiotic, one antidepressant, one blood thinner and one to reduce stomach acid. Everyone is aware of the benefits of exercise to our heart and muscles. But there are benefits to the brain as well. Tests show that regular exercise increases the oxygen to the brain. This increased blood flow to the brain can help slow cognitive decline that is associated with aging. Blood alcohol levels over 0.05 in Canada puts drivers at risk. In some countries, the level tolerated is 0.02. These countries include China and Sweden. In Japan, the limit is 0.03. You have to be cautious when reading statistics. If you read a headline that says “25% reduction in risk of death” with (some particular drug), it can be misleading. If risk of death without the drug is 4 in 1,000, and with the drug it is 3 in 1,000, that is a 25% reduction but in reality not quite as dramatic.

HEALTH, MIND & BODY Province increases commitment to responsible gambling To help British Columbians make informed gambling choices, the government of B.C. has increased funding for responsible gambling, and the British Columbia Lottery Corporation (BCLC) is funding a new research centre Minister of Energy, Mines and Natural Gas Rich Coleman announced this week. This year, the provincial government and BCLC are providing approximately $11 million for responsible gambling: $6 million for the provincial responsible gambling program, $3.6 million for BCLC’s responsible gambling program and an initial $1 million for the Centre for Gambling Research. As announced in Budget 2013, the provincial government is providing an additional $5 million over three years to its Responsible Gambling program, a 30 per cent increase annually.
This increased funding will be used to maintain services such as clinical counselling and improve awareness campaigns. Through BCLC, the government of B.C. is dedicating $2 million over five years for a new, independent Centre for Gambling Research at the University of British Columbia. Housed in the university’s department of psychology, the centre will conduct innovative research on the social and behavioural aspects of gambling. This research will help inform the provincial responsible gambling program. The centre is expected to open this fall. Both of these actions build on B.C.’s Responsible Gambling Strategy. Created in 2003, this strategy promotes responsible gambling and addresses problem gambling through public awareness and education, research

and training, and treatment and prevention. Rich Coleman, Minister of Energy, Mines and Natural Gas says: “The vast majority of British Columbians gamble for entertainment but a small number struggle with problem gambling. Our government is very serious about its commitment to providing support and treatment services. We are proud to be leaders in responsible gambling practices, and today’s actions strengthen that commitment.” Quick Facts: • According to research, 4.6 per cent of British Columbians experience problems related to excessive gambling. • The government of B.C.’s Responsible Gambling Program was created in 2003 and provides awareness and education, a 24-hour tollfree, multi-lingual helpline and free, nowaitlist counselling.
• BCLC is investing $3.6 million this year in its responsible gambling program. BCLC’s GameSense program provides information for players, such as the odds of winning. It dispels myths and provides tips for playing responsibly. • The government of B.C. also provides GameSense Advisors

B.C. report revives regional policing Tom Fletcher Black Press Attorney General Shirley Bond released a report and tabled legislation Tuesday that promises to take another look at a regional police forces in urban areas. The report refers to former judge and attorney general Wally Oppal’s findings in the Missing Women Commission of Inquiry that pointed to fragmented policing and poor coordination between different Metro Vancouver police forces. It is the second of two
“white papers” commissioned by the B.C. government in an effort to make the justice system more responsive to citizens. “I think what we’ve recognized is that for far too long there has been talk about regionalization of policing and very little homework, very little detail, very little analysis of the pros and cons of that model,” Bond told reporters Tuesday. “What I’ve decided to do is to have the conversation that probably should have taken place long ago. “From my perspec-
tive we need to look at whether more integration is the answer, or whether indeed it is time to contemplate a regional police force. I will not do that unilaterally. There are very strongly held views. But we need to have a meaningful discussion about that, and the white paper and the policing plan commits to having that kind of dialogue.” The latest white paper calls on the government to develop funding models that would share the cost of regional police services, whether they

are dedicated units for gang violence or domestic violence, or fully amalgamated policing. Bond isn’t sure if the Justice Reform and Transparency Act will be passed in the current legislature session, which is expected to adjourn March 14 to make way for the May 14 provincial election. She said she is prepared to campaign on what she calls an “aggressive” justice reform agenda. Bond said public
opinion is split on the merits of individual police forces, and some municipal politicians are adamant they don’t want to give up their local police force. A domestic violence unit for Greater Victoria police forces was established but has since had its staffing reduced. “We hear anecdotal information about regional policing all the time,” Bond said. “No one has actually investigated the costs, the benefits.”

MLA stands by ‘morons’ remark Tom Fletcher Black Press Anti-bullying day at the B.C. legislature was marked by debate about Kamloops MLA Kevin Krueger’s blast at the B.C. Conservatives as “unmitigated morons” and “scum” for criticizing B.C. Liberal cabinet minister Pat Bell. Krueger fired off an angry e-mail to the B.C. Conservatives after lead-
er John Cummins called for Bell to be suspended from cabinet over allegations Bell may have interfered in the location of a new wood innovation centre in his home town of Prince George. Bell and Premier Christy Clark rejected the allegations, after unsuccessful bidders for the project released a letter claiming Bell promised them their site would be short-listed for the new
wood centre. Bell said the bidding process was overseen by a lawyer acting as “fairness advisor,” and the lawyer has advised that the project should proceed on another site in downtown Prince George. Asked about his insulting response Wednesday, Krueger said he used harsh language in the heat of the moment, but he has no apologies to of-
fer. He was “indignant” that political opponents attacked Bell after it was revealed he has a serious heart condition that has prompted him to retire from politics in May. Krueger laughed when asked if he thought his comments constituted bullying. “I think that the irony in that is just amazing,” said Krueger, who is also retiring as an MLA before the May election.

Some time ago I was sitting in my study, staring out the window at the snow laden trees, preparing to write another sermon. Some of the alder bushes were so snowcovered that the branches were completely bent over. It crossed my mind that in the spring I would have to take my chainsaw and cut these branches since they were now resting on my fence. As I watched, I noticed the snow beginning to fall off the trees. I could only assume that the snow was being released as the temperature was rising. The branches on the evergreens were springing back up as the snow fell off. Then I noticed some of the bent over alder also springing erect as the snow dropped off – what a relief, perhaps I would not have to cut them in the spring after all! Watching this common spring event was both interesting and enlightening for me. As the weight dropped off, it was almost like the trees revived! Oh, I had seen it before but this time it struck a chord in my mind. You see, a group of us in the church had recently been talking about revival, wondering what it would take to see new life being
PARSONS PEN
BY GERRIT APPERLOO birthed into the community. Now here I saw the simple answer! What causes people to be frustrated with life? What causes them to become burdened with the results of struggles they face each day? What causes them to be ready to give up on this life, seeking any escape imaginable, including the taking of one’s own life whether by deliberate suicide or by slowly killing themselves through the use of alcohol or drugs or other things that cause serious physical ailments which often result in death?
You will probably answer, “Well, it must be sin and the result or consequence of sin in the world. After all, you are a preacher and sin seems to be what all preachers zero in on, right?” Truth be told, it is not just sin. It is more the inability of people to deal with sin, to get rid of sin and the consequences of sin. Sin just piles on, and piles on, and a person becomes bowed down with the heavy burden. How do we remove the burden? How do we get rid of the weight of sin? What it needs is a spiritual thaw! People need to hear and see, to experience that God loves them and has made a way for them to have the sin removed – removed through Jesus Christ. People cannot cleanse themselves of sin any more than the trees could shake the snow off. Only Jesus can do that, only he can remove the burden from our lives. He offers ‘sin-burden removal’ freely to us, by grace. We just need to reach out and accept it. Then we can spring back to life, real life. We can live again as we were meant to. Revival floods into our lives. Then we don’t have to be broken because of the weight of sin in our lives.

The B.C. Liberal government was on the defensive Wednesday after the NDP released a leaked internal document that describes using nonpartisan government staff resources to improve the party’s standing with ethnic communities. The January, 2012 strategy document also refers to “quick wins” for popularity with ethnic voters, referring to a 2008 apology in the B.C. legislature for turning away a ship carrying Indian immigrants from Vancouver harbour in 1914. Multiculturalism minister John Yap said the memo is an “old planning

Yap confirmed that the government is planning an apology to the Chinese community for charging a head tax on Chinese immigrants in B.C.’s early years, but he refused to comment on whether that is one of the pre-election “quick wins” referred to in the strategy memo. The memo was distributed by Kim Haakstad, Premier Christy Clark’s deputy chief of staff. Recipients included Pamela Martin, the former TV anchor hired by Clark as her director of outreach, and Lorne Mayencourt, the former Vancouver

News New act shapes justice reform
Legislation introduced Feb. 27 supports a more efficient justice system with increased transparency and stronger co-operation across the justice and public safety sector announced Minister of Justice and Attorney General Shirley Bond. The Justice Reform and Transparency Act will, if passed, fulfil key recommendations made in Geoffrey Cowper’s review of B.C.’s justice system, enable many of the action items outlined in the White Paper on Justice Reform (Part One), and advance other justice reform initiatives that will create a more transparent, timely and balanced justice system for British Columbia. The first part of the act establishes the roles and responsibilities of the Justice and Public Safety Council recommended by Cowper. The council will set strategic direction, support co-operation and co-ordinate decision-making across the justice and public safety sector. The proposed act also requires a Justice Summit at least once a year to encourage innovation and collaboration across the justice and public safety sector. Planning is underway for the inaugural summit. The second part of the act includes legislative amendments focused on reforms that will support increased efficiencies in judicial administration. One of the amendments to the Provincial Court Act will legislate the term of the chief judge, currently five years, at seven years. This will give the chief judge more time to develop and carry out longer term planning. The Justice Reform and Transparency Act also provides the framework for agreements with all three levels of court in British Columbia in support of the white paper’s goals for promoting and measuring the effective administration of justice. “The Justice Reform and Transparency Act will meet all of these needs by establishing a Justice and Public Safety Council, requiring regular justice summits, allowing for more effective judicial administration of the courts, and with clearly defined performance measures, Bond said in the release.

AS FINE A MAN AS EVER GOD GAVE BREATH I write to pay tribute to my lifelong friend Stanley Wright of Lac La Hache who recently died at the age of 92. To pay tribute to Stanley, I find, calls on me to pay tribute as well to his family and to the small rural community into which we each began our lives those many years ago. Stanley started his life in a modest log cabin alongside the Cariboo Road in 1920. I started my life in a modest log house on the Eagle Lake Road, about a half mile from the Cariboo Road, in 1931. That house was considerably extended when I was three and, last I heard, is now owned by Bernice Karlsson who deals in antiques. Lac La Hache was vastly different than it is now. It was a small scattered community of families and single men, most living just a little above a subsistence level. To give a sense of its size, the Provincial Government supported rural education from grades one to eight on the basis that the community provide a school house and the firewood to heat it and a suitable boarding home for the teacher and the Province would provide the teacher provided, and this was a crucial factor, that the community had a minimum of eight pupils to attend. In the early 1930s, after Stanley had got grade eight and was long out of school but before my brother and I were enrolled, the community couldn’t muster the necessary eight students and the school had to close. The school had for many years been in a frame building near the 114 Mile - fearfully difficult to heat in the cold winter months - but in the year I started school the community built a new log school house closer to the center of the community. It’s still there today, I believe as a tourist information center or some equivalent. Adjacent to the school house, a barn was built to accommodate the horses several families used to transport their children to school. The families provided the hay to feed the horses during the school day. I well remember Stanley’s youngest brother, David, going out to tend his horses at midmorning recess and again at noon. The Wright family then lived five miles from the school on the Eagle Lake Road and that was no great distance in the easier months of the year. But in the deep cold of winter when it could run to forty or more below, it was no piece of cake. School started at nine. Someone in the family, likely David, must get up in the dark then go to the barn to feed and water and harness the horses for the school run. The family would be up early and breakfast made then eaten. Following that, the younger sisters of school age would be bundled up against the cold while David would go to the barn to hitch the horses to the cutter, the light sleigh used when only people, no freight, were being transported. Then off they would go and on arrival at the school the girls would go immediately in to the warmth afforded by the big wood heater - which the teacher had come early to fire up, with perhaps some help from someone at the house where she boarded. David had still to unhitch his horses then stable them in the barn, putting a feed of hay in their mangers. And then he would come in to the warmth but very often it would be considerably past the obligatory nine o’clock. I have a vivid memory of David, his face white with the cold and standing with his hands over the wood heater to warm them, being pleaded with by the teacher to try to get the family to school on time. She didn’t lecture, she didn’t scold, she only pleaded. Like most teachers in rural schools, she came from a city, had a year of teacher training and was shipped out to a rural school. David said nothing then went to his desk to pick up his pencil to try to catch up. And so had it been for Stanley except that until about the time Stanley reached grade eight the family lived at the 117 Mile and so was within walking distance of the earlier school. So it was a community that had a hard time mustering the eight pupils necessary to have a school teacher. It was a scattered community where a neighbour might be a hundred yards away or twenty miles away. It centered on Ogden’s General Store where the Eagle Lake Road connected with the Cariboo Road. There, too, was the post office since Percy Ogden, descendant of Skeene Ogden of fur trade fame, also had the postal contract. But scattered as it was, it was a tightly bonded community. If you needed help, a neighbour would reach out with it. If a neighbour needed help, you would reach out with it. There were cabins scattered throughout the bush, at a hay meadow or a hunting camp or an intermittently occupied
homestead. No one ever locked a cabin or a house because someone might come there in need of shelter. Often the owner would leave a modest supply of firewood and kindling and some nonperishable grub as well. That was the community into which Stanley and I were born, just eleven years apart, those many years ago. But to give a little more context to that time and place, when Stanley was born the horse drawn freight wagons had just come off the Cariboo Road, replaced by the PGE (the Pacific Great Eastern Railway, locally spoken of as the Please Go Easy or the Prince George Eventually since it then terminated at Quesnel which didn’t make much economic sense) and the gasoline powered freight trucks venturing onto the Cariboo Road. Stanley’s father, Burt, had for some years freighted on the Cariboo Road with team and wagon. Stanley was as fine a man as ever God gave breath. But then, as we would say in stockmen’s parlance, he came of good stock. His grandfather, Johnnie Wright, was an overlander who had arrived, at the age of ten, on the Cariboo Road in 1865, the same year that the final leg of the Road reached Barkerville. The overlanders were hardy people who came west by ox cart and pack horse. They used different routes to reach the Road. Stanley’s mother told me the Wright family took a southern route through Oregon Territory. From there they could use established fur trade trails going north and west to reach the Cariboo Road above the Fraser canyon. By then it would be too late to get in on the big strikes in the gold fields. The future lay along the Road in starting road houses and building ranches. And hauling freight with horse drawn wagons on the Cariboo Road. Stanley’s grandmother was Alice Anne Rowbottom, daughter of a Royal Navy captain who had been posted to the Royal Engineers garrison at Esquimalt. She was in the womb when her mother took passage on a ship under sail to join her father. Coming around the Horn the ship hit heavy weather and all passengers were required by the captain to throw overboard a certain poundage of luggage. Her mother wisely threw overboard every other thing she could gather, her precious linen included, to hang on to the one thing she knew instinctively would be the most important; her cook stove which could burn wood or coal. For a long while, by some accounts several years, she had the only cook stove in the newly established garrison. Alice Anne was born two weeks after her mother arrived in Esquimalt. Times were good in those first years for the Wright family and Johnnie went out to Victoria, perhaps for schooling or perhaps just for a change of pace from the frontier. At any rate, he met and married Alice Anne and brought her home to the Cariboo by stagecoach, walking once on an improvised bridge of logs spanning the boiling Fraser where a bridge had been washed away. As to his father Burt and his mother Mary they were hard working and devoted to their children and to the community of Lac La Hache. I knew that at any time I could go into their home and, if needed, be fed and cared for. Back to Stanley. He was eleven when I was born. My father still owned the Eagle Lake Ranch and had to go there from time to time. When he did he would have Stanley come over to milk the cows and feed the chickens. It was a short walk through the fields from the 117 Mile where Stanley then lived to our house. It would have been in that time that my memory of him would have begun. I certainly would have been there when he came in with the buckets from the morning milking but I can’t retrieve a specific memory. But he was there, already part of my life. He finished grade eight and in the rural school system then that was it and to all the rural boys, they were glad of it. Many of the girls would have liked more schooling but most of them did as well or better than the boys in any case. At any rate, if your parents didn’t have the money to board you in town, in Stanley’s case Williams Lake, your schooling was over. But not for Stanley. The world around him was his university. His family then had a small herd of beef cattle sustained on a small bush ranch. They had moved from the 117 Mile to what came to be known as Meadow Bank, five miles from the Cariboo Road on the Eagle Lake Road. This was back in the thirties in the depth of the great depression.
There was pitifully little income from any direction. Cattle producers were at the mercy of the buyers. When steers reached market weight you had to sell, even for less than it cost to raise them, for you could only lose more at the cost of keeping them through another year. The Wright family hunkered down. From their few cattle they could get enough milk, without depriving the calves, to put on their table and to churn butter. They kept a flock of sheep which they could support on their land. From the sheep they got meat for their table but also wool. The wool was sheared, carded and spun - I well remember the spinning wheel - then knitted into sweaters, toques, socks and mitts to keep the family warm through the long cold winters. With the wool yarn she made in the spinning wheel Stanley’s mother also made rugs hooked on the best of the burlap salvaged from the sacks ubiquitous to rural life in those years. Further to that she made saddle blankets. She made a beautiful one for my father. With dyes she had discovered in the vegetation around the homestead she coloured some of her yarn red and so produced a lovely saddle blanket, all in the near white of wool save for the corners with a bright red rose in each. It obviously didn’t matter to our horses but we sure liked it. Saddle blankets for the horses in constant use in the Wright family consisted of a large sheepskin with the wool side down, the best possible protection from saddle sores. Now back to Stanley. I’ve told you where he came from but what did he become? I’ve said he was as good a man as ever God gave breath and now I will try, within my limits, to convey that. He was inherently hard working. In ranching and farming there were chores to be done morning and evening, separate from the day’s work: animals in the barn to be fed and watered, cows to be milked, hogs to be fed, chickens to have their ration of grain scattered where they could scratch for it and their water pans filled, eggs to be collected, wood to be carried in from the woodshed to the kitchen to feed the fire in the cookstove and, in winter, wood for the large heater as well. That’s not an exhaustive list but is representative of what we called the chores or choring up. When I was a young ranch hand working a long day in the hayfield and watching the afternoon sun crawl ever so slowly toward the horizon while I grew more and more weary there wasn’t a moment ever so precious as the moment when the ranch boss would look at his watch and say “Well, I guess you boys might as well go chore up now”. There might be an hour of chores ahead of us but it marked the end of the day’s work. Stanley knew every morning and evening chore to be done around the ranch and went about them in constant good humour. As the seasons changed the day’s work would change as well. In summer the hay had to be harvested and put up in huge stacks, in fall the cattle must be brought in from the summer range and the beef driven to market, in winter (which frequently arrived alarmingly soon after the last of the harvest) came the lonely task of feeding the cattle where the stacked hay was located, often at a remote meadow miles from the home ranch.

STANLEY WRIGHT
AS FINE A MAN AS EVER GOD GAVE BREATH Then came the end of winter and too often a late spring. Still, the cows had to be back to the home ranch for calving and fed on the last of the best hay which had been saved there for this time. I remember, vividly, watching Stanley saddle his horse then mount up, to ride slowly and quietly through the cow herd noting every cow, especially the young heifers, to see how close they were to calving and if a young heifer might need to be brought in for extra care. It may seem a contradiction that we raised beef cattle for the end purpose of selling them to be slaughtered as beef for sale in your local market yet at the same time be devoted to their care beyond the sheer economic advantage that a well tended herd would bring more at market in the end than otherwise. It’s also a contradiction that the shepherd became so imbedded in Christian mythology. The flocks of sheep tended in ancient Israel were there for the sole purpose of providing meat to eat and wool to wear. Like our cattle, they would be slaughtered in the end. Christ, who is the centre of Christian mythology, is referred to as The Good Shepherd, who said, according to the Bible, see John 10, 11: “I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for his sheep”. In fact the shepherd tended the sheep so the sheep would in the end provide meat and wool to go to market for the benefit of whoever owned the sheep and who might well have been a worthy small farmer trying to scrape out a living. The sheep were the ones who gave their lives. So I rest my argument. Stanley tended his cattle, his sheep and his horses with all the compassion a man could have for the animals he owned and were in his care, notwithstanding the ultimate commercial purpose. In the rural life into which Stanley and I were born, horses provided the power for everything we did - with the exception of the power we provided with our own muscles. There were no tractors and only a very few light early model pickup trucks and cars. For most personal transport off the Cariboo Road, a team and light rig, buggy in summer and cutter in winter, would get you to and from your neighbours for a visit. For the work on the ranch, we relied on our horses for everything. In the hay harvest that was so vital, the horses pulled the mowers that cut the hay, they pulled the rakes that gathered the hay into bunches and after we had pitched the bunched hay onto racks they would haul the hay to the stackyard then haul on the derrick line that would lift the hay up and onto the stack. For all the handling of our cattle that must be done from horseback they saw us through and as I learned repeatedly as a young boy from my horse, he knew the work a damned sight better than I did. If this relationship between the man and the horse is to work, the man must respect the horse. I talked once to Stanley about what to do when you were meeting a horse for the first time, whether a young unbroken horse or an old well broken horse who knew his work. I said I laid a lot of store in just talking to him in a quiet way and blowing gently into his nose and pinching him gently at the top of his neck just forward of his withers. Sometimes if you do this pinching the horse will nibble gently back at your upper arm. His gentle nibble sure could hurt but you had to brace yourself and not pull away. He’s accepted your friendship when he responded to your pinching so don’t spoil the moment. Stanley said he would always spend time letting the horse get the smell of him - holding his hand up to the horse’s nose then taking it slowly from there. I never knew of Stanley being rough with a horse, or any other animal, as some men do. Remember then about Stanley that from the time he first could walk until he finally had to retire from ranching he worked faithfully, with his horses to get work done, and to give the best care he could to other animals in his care. Now turn to his commitment to his community. I have explained that his father, Burt, descended from people of the Cariboo Road. When his father was a young man, a young woman, Mary, a novice school teacher, was sent to Lac La Hache by the Department of Education. There being a shortage of women in Lac La Hache, a community abundant in single men, a competition arose. It was clear at the outset that Burt was well ahead. The other swains in the community set to teasing him and took great delight in his distress but happily gave way when Burt and Mary were married.
And so began a family of profound importance to the community of Lac La Hache. In rural communities, like Lac La Hache, there was no recognized form of local government, even where a similar population lived together in what could be called a village. Still, there was a need for collective action on matters affecting the entire community and for some structure through which community decisions could be made and action taken. Lac La Hache solved the problem by forming the Lac La Hache Community Club. The founding members came from a solid core in the community, Stanley’s parents and mine among them. Regular meetings were held and a president and secretary chosen, more likely by pouncing on the first to volunteer than by vote, a bank account opened and fund raising begun, though with modest hopes as this was the heart of the depression. I have no confirming information at hand but the club would have been formed about 1933. The first major project, undertaken by the club in about 1936, and a major project it was for the fledgling club, was the construction of the Lac La Hache community hall, the magnificent log hall still standing there by the Cariboo Road today, seventy-seven years later. Stanley was about thirteen at the time and he was one of the many volunteers who worked on the hall in every hour they could spare. A small core of men skilled in log construction were paid by the club and stayed with the project from start to finish but it would have been impossible without the volunteer work so steadfastly given. Over many years that followed of which I have direct knowledge, the hall served as a vital and vibrant social center of the community. Country dances of the best sort were held on alternate Saturday nights in summer, less often in winter but still held. Local people with musical talent provided music. Sandwiches were brought by designated volunteers for a midnight supper and coffee was brewed in the hall kitchen. In such a scattered community, opportunities for young men and women to meet were limited and these dances helped fill the gap. It’s a certainty that many a romance began in that hall. Every other sort of event also took place there: weddings and funerals, school Christmas concerts with presents under the tree for all the children (ordered weeks before out of Eaton’s Catalogue), and plays at other times put on by the pupils at the school. Some winters a badminton court would be marked out on the floor and a net stretched for the benefit of those sufficiently close to the hall to use. On one occasion a temporary raised platform to support a regulation boxing ring was built for an evening in which all the amateur boxers could have a go. That was in the years when Joe Louis reigned supreme. With two huge ancient batteries powering our huge ancient radios on the Cariboo plateau we could bring in stations from around the world. Every lad’s ear was glued to the radio when Joe Louis went into the ring and they were eager to do the same. Nobody got hurt and it was great entertainment. Of course there was no television and no moving picture to be seen except at Williams Lake two evenings a week, forty-five miles away by a washboard gravel road if you had a vehicle to go there. One day someone came to Lac La Hache with a predecessor to what we would call a slide show. I don’t remember what his message was but we all went to the hall to see it. The pictures were projected onto a white bed sheet suspended from an improvised clothes line. I was bored stiff and may father fell asleep but it shows you that our little community would embrace any of the best that happened to come our way and also a little of the worst. Much work had to be done to keep our hall functioning for all these events. A generator, one of the old Delco units located in a separate building nearby, had to be maintained and operating for every event. Wood had to be on hand for the stove in the winter months. The hall had to be cleaned after each event and the floor cared for. Now Stanley had been in the community club since he was a boy and the club had begun. In everything that had to be done, he was there, doing all of it or some of it. Also, if something of significance to the community happened outside the scope of the club, he was always on hand to offer his help. And he had a great technique for enlisting volunteers. He wouldn’t ask you to do something, he would just tell you that there was this thing that you could do and tell you
what it was and inescapably you’d end up doing it and feel honoured in the process. In cattle industry support he did his share and more in the Cariboo Cattlemen’s Association. I was in Lac La Hache, except for periods away for schooling, until 1947 when at sixteen, as a result of some domestic turmoil I wouldn’t tolerate, I strapped my saddle on my horse, tied a scrap of gear behind the saddle and pulled out. I rode largely in the bush to escape attention and came out at Little Fort on the North Thompson River and went thence to Kamloops to find work on a ranch. I returned to Lac La Hache in early 1952, worked a short while in a sawmill then returned to my old life in ranch work, contract haying and building Russel fence. For the best part of it, I lived mostly along the Eagle Lake Road and whether I was coming or going I had to go right by Meadow Bank and could stop for a visit. I stayed until the fall of 1954. When I left then it was for good except that I camped over the winter of 77/78 at Dry Creek, further out on the Eagle Lake Road, once more coming and going by Meadow Bank. As you can see, my closest association with Stanley was in our earlier years, when he was young and I was younger still. And I want to record that as full as his life was in those earlier years with the work of the ranch, with his service to his community and to fellow ranchers in the cattle industry and the friendships which surrounded him, those of us who knew him and loved him understood that he kept to himself a painful loneliness, a loneliness which we could do nothing about. Then Anita came into his life, bringing John and Mark with her, and that loneliness evaporated. I was not there when it happened but it was reported to me and never had I heard better news about my friend. I met Anita a few times in the winter I camped at Dry Creek and I could see first hand the completion she had brought to his life. The two young boys developed a deep bond with Stanley which lasted for the rest of his life. He was a devoted stepfather, they were devoted stepsons. I didn’t then meet John or Mark but I kept in touch by phone with Stanley over these later years of both our lives and he spoke frequently of his stepsons, often in a way that revealed a particular sense of security in having Mark close by. Then just a few days ago I met Mark on the phone. Mark spoke of his relationship with Stanley over many years and I was left in no doubt that John and he had found in Stanley the same exceptional, gentle, understanding, kindly, generous and helpful person as did all of us who knew him. In closing I look for a favourite memory and it’s hard to find because there are so many but I’ll settle on this. When Stanley’s father died his younger sisters were still quite young and his concern and affection for them was obvious. A young man, George McDonald, came from somewhere away to Lac La Hache and Eva, Stanley’s second youngest sister, caught his eye and he caught hers. The voltage of romance was soon obvious. Now all us blokes in Lac La Hache said that was fine, it’s Eva’s choice. But we wanted to be sure this George McDonald guy from somewhere away about whom we knew little, except that he did work hard, was going to be good to our precious Eva. As George told me later, he got the message and set out to prove he would, which he did and they were married one summer evening in our beautiful community hall. It was a traditional ceremony and when the preacher asked who gives this women and the wedding march rang out it was Stanley, at his dignified best, who came down the aisle bringing Eva to join George for their exchange of vows. I’m sure it was their devotion to each other that made their marriage the great success it was but I like to think there might also have been some magic in our old community hall and the devotion Stanley held for our little community of old Lac La Hache.

UBC professor on need for sustainable forests plan The implementation of a sustainable forest management framework for B.C. Crown forests requires that their be an actual plan of management, says Dr. Gordon Weetman, Professor Emeritus, Department of Forest Sciences, University of British Columbia. “Such a plan gives purpose, meaning and direction to all the actions of forest protection, harvesting and renewal across the landscape,” Weetman says. His report continues as follows: the overall objective is to first identify a future forest condition with all the features the public wishes to see in their public forests 50 to 100 years from now. Today’s management to achieve the desired future forest, requires the features be quantified, as best as we are able, based on our current scientific understanding of forest dynamics and visual quality values, fish and wildlife habitat, watershed dynamics and biodiversity values at the tree, stand and landscape levels. “The future forest is not just a wooly concept but a real, bounded, area-based forest condition at the scale of 100,000 to 200,000 hectares or 250 to 500 times the size of Stanley Park,” Weetman says. “We have known how to do this for over 20 years. “To reach this future condition, today’s forest inventory needs to be grown into the future by computer modeling. BC has pioneered this work. “We know how to do it and we can develop various scenarios of different planned actions in time and space that will produce different outcomes based on meeting public, government and industry expectations.” He says the desired outcomes must be chosen in consultation with the public, First Nations and tenure holders. “It’s a social decision,” Weetman says. “This process of analysis and consultation requires a wide range of specialist expertise that must cooperate. This process reduces barriers between bureaucratic silos and helps the public, stakeholders and First Nations understand what is proposed and done.” He says accountability lies in monitoring not just “forest practices” but real coordinated progress towards the future forest.

The Don Cherry of TV science
B.C. VIEWS TOM FLETCHER
He has a white beard and a bully pulpit on CBC television, but he doesn’t use it to promote hockey fighting. Instead he sucker punches the oil and gas industry at every opportunity, with increasingly flagrant disregard for the rules of science. Public broadcasting referees keep their whistles in their pockets, wary of offending a legend. He’s David Suzuki, and he has evolved from geneticist to TV celebrity to his current role as the Don Cherry of Canadian science, an angry curmudgeon lashing out at his enemies. Earlier I wrote about Suzuki’s hit piece on the Alberta oil sands, featuring selective pollution studies and a celebrity turn by movie director James Cameron, who toured the alleged carbon crime scene in his personal jet helicopter. Suzuki’s latest Scud missile of misinformation was launched Feb. 7 on The Nature of Things. It’s called Shattered Ground, and it borrows heavily from earlier shock docs that target hydraulic fracturing for shale oil and gas. While clearly aimed at the surging shale gas industry in B.C., this hour-
long program offers little about B.C.’s long history of gas development. Suzuki’s voice-over refers briefly to B.C.’s Oil and Gas Commission, insinuating it was set up as a pet regulator protecting the industry from stricter oversight. Mostly the show focuses on places like Dish, Texas and Dimock, Pennsylvania. The Texas segment talks about traces of neurotoxins in residents’ blood samples, blaming this on gas drilling and “fracking,” the new swear word of professional environmentalists. The evidence shows
some people have these traces in their blood, but others don’t, which suggests that more likely sources are cigarettes or exposure to disinfectants. Pennsylvania and Colorado are key stops for the anti-fracking crowd. For centuries there have been places known for methane dissolved in groundwater, typically from shallow coal seams. This is where you can find a rustic fellow to shake a jug of well water and touch his Bic lighter to it, producing a brief blue flame. The standard sequence moves to a sink and faucet, where a more impres-
sive methane fireball is generated. Suzuki’s voice-over notes that this is the scene that really gets media attention. There’s no evidence that drilling caused it, but hey, it’s TV. Science, meet Hillbilly Handfishin’. Protest sequences take up much of the program. Moms rally against a gas well near a school in Erie, Pennsylvania, forcing evil Canadian corporation Encana to back off. An elderly Quebec woman sobs on camera, convinced that a nearby gas well will trigger a relapse of her cancer.
One bit of local content is a segment on frackinginduced earthquakes, presented with sombre alarm by Ben Parfitt, goto researcher for the antiindustry left in B.C. These are detectable by sensitive instruments, as is the case with some mining and other industrial activities, but according to the Oil and Gas Commission, they don’t do any actual harm. It should be noted that Suzuki doesn’t do much beyond reading a script on these shows. He has people to load up the propaganda weaponry, just as his ghostwriter in Toronto cranks
out the relatively innocuous weekly columns that run in some Black Press publications. In fairness, most episodes of The Nature of Things are in the original spirit of the show. A recent program on an ancient Egyptian aquifer, voiced by Suzuki over National Geographic video footage, would be appropriate for a high school classroom. The same cannot be said for this anti-fracking screed, which is plainly and recklessly calculated to twist public opinion against a crucial B.C. industry.

The Duke of York opens B.C.’s European office The Duke of York opened British Columbia’s Trade and Investment Office for Europe in London recently. His Royal Highness was joined by the Lt.Gov. for British Columbia, the Honourable Judith Guichon, at an opening reception hosted by the Canadian High Commissioner, Gordon Campbell. The new Trade and Investment Office, colocated with an existing Tourism Division team in central London, will further strengthen British Columbia’s traditionally strong and economically vital ties with the European Union in general and the United Kingdom in particular. The EU represents Canada’s second-largest trading partner in goods and services and is one of British Columbia’s strongest markets for investment, trade and tourism, offering unique opportunities for our companies. Opening and expanding international markets for the province’s goods and services is
one of the pillars of ‘Canada Starts Here: The BC Jobs Plan.’ The government has now met its Jobs Plan commitment to double its international presence to accelerate trade and direct foreign investment. The London trade office will be headed by Susan Haird, British Columbia’s European trade and investment representative. She has a proven record of investment attraction and trade promotion, having developed deep networks in business and government over a public-service career spanning 35 years, most recently as the deputy chief executive of United Kingdom Trade and Investment. Haird and her team of sector specialists - based in the United Kingdom, France and Germany with language skills that include French, German, Italian and Spanish - will work to attract investment into B.C., help connect B.C. companies with new markets and tradeopportunities throughout Europe, and
foster innovation and education partnerships. Retiring Minister of Jobs, Tourism and Skills Training and Minister Responsible for Labour Pat Bell said: “British Columbia, with our abundant natural resources, major planned liquefied natural gas development, and companies at the leading edge of clean technology, is a natural trade and investment partner for European countries. Our international network promotes British Columbia as a stable and attractive destination for investment, tourists and international students, creating jobs here at home to support B.C. families.” Quick Facts: • The European Union is the largest trading bloc in the world, with a combined GDP of $17 trillion and a population of 500 million in 27 member nations. • Since the BC Jobs Plan was released in September 2011, British Columbia’s internation-

The TIRs are trade and investment experts who oversee 13plus offices and points of service. • With expansion through fiscal year 2012-13, expenditures on the TIR network are forecast to be roughly $8.3 million. With the doubling fully complete, the budget is expected to increase to approximately $11.6 million. • The expanded trade and investment operation for Europe is colocated with representatives from the Tourism Division of the Ministry of Jobs, Tourism and Skills Training at 1
Great Cumberland Place in central London. • Tourism Division representatives identify trends and opportunities for B.C. tourism businesses in key international markets. They work with tour operators to introduce new products and develop targeted joint campaigns to increase visitor volume and revenue and to expand geographic distribution of European tourists. • The United Kingdom was B.C.’s and Canada’s second-largest international tourism market in terms of visitors passing through customs checkpoints in 2011. The U.K. accounted for 44 per cent of B.C.’s European visitors and 30 per cent of Canada’s European market share in 2011.

Mill owner protests log export change Tom Fletcher Black Press A member of the B.C. government’s Timber Export Advisory Committee has resigned so he can speak out about what he calls a disastrous policy mistake for the south coastal sawmill industry. David Gray’s Mill and Timber Products Ltd. owns two mills in Metro Vancouver. Smallwood Sawmill in the Port Kells industrial area of Surrey has been shut down for a year and a half, and Flavelle Sawmill in Port Moody is running at half capacity. Gray says that is due to a lack of logs, primarily from Vancouver Island. Gray said Thursday
“it may be too late” for his operations, after a January decision by B.C. Forests Minister Steve Thomson to change the way B.C. regulates Crown land log exports on the south coast and Vancouver Island. What the government billed as a minor administrative change is “the straw that broke the camel’s back” for B.C. mills bidding on logs against aggressive log buyers in China, Gray said. The change allows Vancouver Island log producers to count the cost of transporting logs to Metro Vancouver as part of the the domestic log price, in effect giving them the green light to export more logs to Asian buyers
who pay $20 to $30 more per cubic metre of wood. Gray said his mills can compete on a level playing field, but not against a Chinese government that has made a policy decision to buy up logs at whatever price it takes to keep its vast workforce employed. “It’s a government decision on the other side, and it’s an abdication by our government of the policies that have been in place for 100 years,” Gray told a news conference at the B.C. legislature Thursday, organized by NDP forests critic Norm Macdonald. Thomson announced in January that B.C. was increasing its log export fee
by 20 per cent for south coast logs, but that increase amounts to less than $2 a cubic metre for a typical sale. Macdonald and Thomson resumed their debate about log exports in the legislature’s question period Thursday, where Macdonald noted that log exports have climbed to six million cubic meters a year under B.C. Liberal policy. Thomson responded that the NDP has refused to disclose what it would do to curtail log exports, and what the cost would be in logging jobs. The Coastal Forest Products Association and the Truck Loggers Association argue that one profitable export log allows companies
to bring out two lower-grade logs for sale to domestic mills. Gray said lobbying by those two organizations has caused the B.C. government to shift away from protecting B.C. mills. “There’s an unspoken presumption that manufacturing is yesterday’s thing, and we should just go back to logging and exporting logs,” he said.

B.C. ‘the new Australia’ for LNG Tom Fletcher Black Press Executives for global natural gas companies say B.C. is well positioned to compete for Asia’s rising demand for new and cleaner energy supplies, although liquefied natural gas export projects are still at least five years from loading the first ships. Industry and government representatives gathered in Vancouver’s new convention centre Monday for a two-day conference on LNG development, and heard about efforts to keep ahead of numerous competing countries. Federal Natural Resources Minister Joe Oliver announced Canada’s largest LNG export permit so far, to a joint venture of Shell Canada, Korea Gas, Mitsubishi and PetroChina International. The licence goes to LNG Canada Ltd., a consortium with an agreement to build export facilities on Haisla Nation territory near Kitimat. The B.C. government now expects at least five such export facilities to be built in the coming years.
Haisla Nation Chief Ellis Ross and federal Natural Resources Minister Joe Oliver announce Canada’s largest export permit for liquefied natural gas in Vancouver Monday. Oliver said attendance by global LNG producers and potential buyers is “a sign that B.C. is emerging as a major player in the global natural gas market,” with reserves equivalent to meeting Japan’s expected demand for the next 275 years. The conference heard Monday from industry leaders about the threats as well as opportunities. Betsy Spomer, vicepresident of global business development for BG Group (formerly British Gas), said bringing pipelines across two mountain ranges from B.C.’s shale gas depos-

its in the northeast to the coast is a significant challenge. New gas supplies from East Africa and the United States are also on the horizon, but BG Group still expects that B.C. is positioned as “the new Australia”
in global LNG exports, Spomer said. She added that colder weather in the Prince Rupert area gives B.C. an advantage over places like the Gulf of Mexico, because gas needs to be compressed and chilled to low temperature for shipment. Luo Weizhong, vice president of China National Overseas Oil Company, said China needs LNG for environmental reasons as well as to meet rising energy demand. Transport trucks in China are being converted from diesel to LNG, and the country is trying to replace coal power with cleaner alternatives to deal with huge air pollution problems. Anders Ekvall, an executive with Shell Canada, told the conference that natural gas repre-
