Bad flu season predicted MARK NIELSEN Citizen staff CITIZEN STAFF PHOTO

A man in his twenties died in hospital after he was found last week in Connaught Hill Park suffering from a gunshot wound.

Prince George RCMP said the man was found near the bottom of the blue staircase alongside Patricia Boulevard after police responded to a call of a possible shooting at about 5:15 p.m. on Nov. 14.

“The investigation is in its early stages; however, police believe this was likely a targeted event,” Cpl. Jennifer Cooper said.

The name of the victim has not been released.

RCMP are asking anyone who may have information

about the incident or who may have dash cam footage from the area at the time of the shooting to contact the detachment at 250-561-3300. Quote file number 2022-41090.

It is the city’s fourth homicide of the year.

The first occurred in January when a man who was found inside a home at the corner of Porter Avenue and Oak Street suffering from serious injuries later died in hospital.

The second occurred in March when police were called to a report of a suspicious death at a 600-block Irwin Street home.

The third occurred also in March when a man was shot to death behind an apartment building in the 1800-block of Spruce Street in what RCMP called a targeted attack.

Man killed in shooting at park

Northern Health is encouraging people to get their shots in advance of what’s expected to be a tougherthan-usual flu season.

Getting immunized continues to be one of the most effective ways to protect yourself and those around you from hospitalization or serious illness, officials say.

“We encourage everyone to get their influenza and COVID-19 vaccines this fall especially people at higher risk of harm from influenza and harm from COVID-19,” Northern Health chief medical officer Dr. Jong Kim said in a statement.

“This year’s influenza season is expected to be more severe due to less exposure in the past two years during the COVID-19 pandemic. That’s why it’s especially important to get vaccinated.”

The influenza vaccine is free and recommended for everyone aged six months and older.

Many communities have Northern Health influenza clinics currently running or upcoming in the next few weeks. Influenza vaccines are also available at local pharmacies and some primary-care provider offices.

People can book their influenza vaccine through the provincial Get Vaccinated system online at www.getvaccinated.gov.bc.ca or by calling 1-833-838-2323 (toll free).

They may be able to get their influenza and COVID19 vaccine during the same appointment.

Drop-in appointments for both influenza and COVID19 vaccine shots may also be available for some communities.

B.C. shifts gears on used car tax

THURSDAY NOVEMBER 24, 2022

TED CLARKE Citizen staff

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING

Finance Minister Selena Robinson says B.C. is following the example of other provinces now that it has changed its tax policy on private used vehicle sales.

The new rules, which took effect Oct. 1, dictate that the amount of provincial tax on private sales will be based on the Canadian Black Book average wholesale value rather than the actual sale price.

If, however, the actual sale price is more than the book value, the province will collect its tax on whichever is higher.

“The only change here is to bring us in line with how most other provinces are already administering sales taxes on these vehicles,” said Robinson, in an email.

“Our government has taken significant steps to reduce costs for drivers, including fixing the old government’s mess at ICBC and lowering car insurance rates. We’re going to continue to reduce costs for people.”

The new policy was first announced in February as a way to discourage fraud and a means to clamp down on people who would record a lower purchase price on transfer papers than they actually paid for that vehicle to save money on the tax they would be required to pay.

By closing that loophole, the government expects it will bring $30 million in revenue. Robinson declined an interview request.

In the email, the government points out that the average wholesale value of a vehicle is lower than its estimated market value.

“We expect that in most cases, there will be no change for people with very few vehicles to be sold below the average wholesale price,” the email states. “If someone pays less than the average wholesale value due to the condition of the vehicle, they will be able to obtain an appraisal of the vehicle to lower the tax payable on the purchase.”

SUBMITTED PHOTO

Graham Hugill of 150 Mile House is protesting the B.C. government’s new used vehicle taxation policy which collects PST based on book value rather than actual sales price.

The switch to book value taxation does not apply to owners who trade in their vehicles at a licensed dealership.

The 12 per cent provincial sales tax rate applied on privately purchased new and used vehicle sales has been in place since July 2010 when Gordon Campbell’s BC Liberal government introduced the harmonized sales tax (HST), which boosted the rate from seven per cent to 12 per cent. The BC Liberals abandoned the HST on April 1, 2013 but did not drop the tax rate on vehicles back to seven per cent.

On passenger vehicle sales bought privately or if the vehicle is received as a taxable gift, the 12 per cent PST rate applies to all vehicles worth less than $125,000, rising to 15 per cent for a vehicle worth between $125,000 and $149,999.99. The rate is 20 per cent for any vehicle worth more than $150,000.

The PST rate for any passenger vehicle bought at a dealership, received as a gift from a licensed dealer, imported into Canada or leased is as follows: Less than $55,000

The new policy is not sitting well with 150 Mile House resident Graham Hugill, who bought a used truck last week from a neighbour for $35,000.

When he went to register it at an ICBC office he was told about the new policy and learned the average black book price for his 2015 F-350 diesel pickup was $47,240, $12,240 more than what he paid.

Hugill was told by the insurance agent the 12 per cent tax based on the book price amounted to $5,669.80, as compared to the $4,200 in tax he would have been required to pay before the new policy took effect.

He says it should be illegal for the province to have the ability to continually collect tax on the same vehicle each time it is sold and is encouraging taxpayers to join his fight against the new policy by signing an online petition.

Proposal: Zoning Bylaw No. 2892, Amendment Bylaw No. 3277, 2022 is proposed to zone unzoned lands adjacent to 14 lakes and 2 watercourses within Electoral Areas ‘A’, ‘C’, ‘D’, ‘G’ and ‘H’. The lands are within a development permit area and partially zoned. The unzoned lands will be brought into Zoning Bylaw No. 2892. Additionally, the proposed bylaw will repeal Punchaw Lake Area Zoning Bylaw No. 704 which regulates the use of land adjacent to Punchaw Lake. The land will be included in Zoning Bylaw No. 2892 with the creation of a new Seasonal Recreation 4 (SR4) zone.

P.G. cost of living higher than Nanaimo, Kamloops TED CLARKE Citizen staff

Prince George has become more expensive than Kamloops and Nanaimo, according to a study released last week

by Living Wage For Families BC. The report estimates that in Prince George the living wage (the hourly wage required for two adults working 35 hours per week to support themselves and two children) has climbed to $21.19, as compared to Kamloops ($19.14) and Nanaimo ($20.49).

Greater Victoria is now B.C.’s most expensive major city, with a living wage estimated at $24.29. It surpassed that of Metro Vancouver ($24.08), Powell River ($23.33), Fernie ($23.58), Cowichan Valley ($23.53), Prince Rupert ($22.69) and Kelowna ($22.08). Haida Gwaii ($25.87) and Golden ($25.56) top the list of all B.C.

municipalities in the report.

“We’ve been calculating the living wage since 2008 and this is the highest we’ve ever seen, and it’s also the highest percentage increase across the province we’ve ever seen,” said Anastasia French, Living Wage for Families provincial manager.

“With general inflation shooting up to a 40-year high this year, and with the cost of food rising even faster and rent increasing everywhere, especially for families that need to move and are no longer protected by rent control, it’s not surprising to see such big increases this year.”

In 2018, Prince George’s living wage was $16.56.

A living wage will cover the necessities to support two young children and their development with enough left over to allow the family to participate in social, civic and cultural activities in their communities.

Soaring costs for housing, utilities, food, transportation, childcare, clothing and other merchandise have raised living wage rates across the country.

Part of the reason Prince George’s living wage is higher than the two similar-size cities, Kamloops and Nanaimo, is the cost of transportation and the study determined Prince George families with two kids need two vehicles.

“We’ve changed the methodology in Prince George slightly to include the cost of a family owning two used cars, rather than a car and transit pass, because our community partner felt that the transit isn’t sufficient for a family of four to get by without two cars,” said French.

French said Prince George was excluded from the 2020 and 2021 living wage study because the data on housing costs supplied by Canadian Housing and Mortgage Corporation did not include the nearly

10,000 rental units in the city that are privately leased. That skewed the data to show the living wage estimate was actually lower than the minimum wage.

“In 2015, 30 per cent of families had to move in the previous year and I saw something in this year’s census that showed that 40 per cent of families this year have had to move,” said French.

In Prince George the cost of a three-bedroom place was set at $1,288 per month, which French admits is low, compared to what most renters are having to pay each month. In Kamloops and Nanaimo the organization estimates the cost for a three-bedroom unit is $1,600 per month.

The monthly food cost for a family of four in Prince George in October, when the survey was conducted, was $1,120, as compared to $1,200 in Nanaimo and $1,000 in Kamloops. Transportation costs account for the differences, French said.

Operation Red Nose returns this weekend

CHRISTINE DALGLEISH Citizen staff

There’s nothing like a full worry-free safe-ride-home service for those who are celebrating during the festive season.

Need a safe ride home for you and your vehicle?

Operation Red Nose is hitting the road once again this year after a twoyear absence because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

There is a call out for volunteers as there’s a need for about 300 people to join the fundraising project that sees the Nechako Rotary Club and the Prince George RCMP partnering with ICBC to provide rides for nine nights starting Nov. 25 and 26 and continuing every Friday and Saturday night until Dec. 17.

There’s a break for Christmas weekend and then the service resumes on New

drivers grant those requests.

If the client has other people with them that need to be dropped off at another destination, they will be delivered first and then the client will be delivered last and that includes the babysitter – but the client will go along for the ride to deliver the sitter and Operation Red Nose will once again deliver the client back home.

It’s all about making sure everyone arrives at their destination safely, without risk of someone who shouldn’t be driving getting behind the wheel, Pendergast explained.

And there’s always a need for volunteers.

“We need about 25 teams for New Year’s Eve because it’s really, really busy,” Pendergast said. “It’s a wonderful program that provides a safe ride home for you and your vehicle.”

Would you use a Status card, if you had one?

N

o white person would change places with me,” the American Black comedian Chris Rock said in a comedy special more than 20 years ago. “And I’m rich.”

Then and now, it’s the “shut your face because your racism is showing” line to anyone complaining about the benefits – real or imagined – that people of colour receive.

In Canada, the most notorious symbol of “how come they get special treatment?” is the Indian Status card. For many Canadians for many years, that card represents ongoing Indigenous entitlement to get lots of stuff for free at the expense of everyone else.

So let’s apply the Rock observation.

If you received a Status card in the mail today with your name on it, would you actually use it?

Would you identify as Indigenous in public, just so you

could get a tax break, cut into a lineup or buy some stuff at a reduced price?

Based on a report from the Union of B.C. Indian Chiefs, many Status card holders don’t, simply to avoid the discrimination that comes with it (see story, page 12).

The title of the study - “They Sigh or Give you the Look: Discrimination and Status Card Usage” – says it all.

Nobody wants to expose themselves to that kind of scrutiny and public disdain.

Or worse.

The first-of-its-kind study, with input from the National Collaborating Centre for Indigenous Health at UNBC, was prompted by the unlawful arrest and detention of Maxwell Johnson and his granddaughter when they presented their federal status cards to open a bank account at a Vancouver BMO location in December 2019.

“The media and schools have failed to educate people

Has Christmas vomited in your house yet?

L

ast Sunday afternoon, with Christmas carols playing and a dandy of a football game between the Minnesota Vikings and the Buffalo Bills on mute on TV, I stood in my living room in pajamas hanging ornaments on the Christmas tree. It’s the most wonderful time of the year, indeed.

Christmas had coughed up its groceries (thank you, Stephen King, for such a colourful phrase for vomit, barf, throwing up, etc.) in my house the weekend before and hanging the decorations was simply the last thing left to do.

At my place, the first weekend of November means putting away Halloween and hauling in the boxes and plastic storage tubs of Christmas stuff, including the tree. It also means hours outside getting some fresh air while risking life and limb on a slippery aluminum ladder to hang Christmas lights.

So I was thrilled when I posted a Citizen online poll this week asking “Is your Christmas tree up yet?” and 10 per cent said yes! And I’m dismayed that more than 60 per cent answered either not until Dec. 1 (40 per cent) while another 20 per cent or so said not until the week before Christmas.

We’re more than a month away from the winter solstice and the shortest day of the year, before we slowly start getting more daylight.

Now is the time to light up our homes, inside and out, with some warm festive cheer.

For Christians, why wait until November 27 to start Advent and celebrating the birth of Jesus? For non-religious people (or those of other faiths), you’re not bound to doctrine here, so Christmas starts when you say it does!

Furthermore, Christmas Time Is Here, the Vince Guaraldi Trio jazz classic from A Charlie Brown Christmas is not only one of the great songs of the 20th century, it’s also a poignant reminder.

The spirit of generosity, good will and optimism never gets old and is something that serves us well every day of the year, as the wise of all faiths and times have told us throughout history.

“Oh, that we could always see, such spirit through the year.”

on the history of status cards and why First Nations peoples have them,” said UBCIC Grand Chief Stewart Philip.

“The burden of educating people on status cards is unjustly on First Nations people when the government has been negligent in providing the proper and relevant resources to educate public service workers and the public about the legality and legitimacy of status cards as government-issued identification,” added Chief Marilyn Slett, Heiltsuk Nation.

The reality of the Status card is that the devil is in the details and it’s a typical government benefit with plenty of small-print qualifiers.

And even if it conferred all of those gravy train stereotypes, would you use it if you had one?

Chris Rock says you wouldn’t.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

‘POOR PLANNING BY THE CITY’

Watching football at Masich stadium is dependant on weather at least for fans.

The City of Prince George made the lazy decision to shut the seating due to snow and ice, a decision I don’t think would have been made if it was the Prince George Kodiaks or the UNBC Timberwolves soccer teams.

I understand the safety issues, but TRU in Kamloops just hosted the Canadian soccer finals with a hugh snow dump and none of their seating is covered. About 2,500 hundred fans watched the finals.

They made it happen.

The short sightedness of the city and city council for not making sure a plan was in place for these situations and all the money was spent to install a turf field so these games could be played in the late fall is just another example of the poor planning by the city.

Another example of the city reacting instead of being proactive.

ARMY A BETTER OPTION THAN JAIL

As an American teen, I was militantly opposed to the military draft.

18 at loose ends.

Knowing that I was “1A” meant that sooner or later I would get that dreaded letter inviting me to enter military service.

So I pre-empted that fate by signing on with the U.S. Army. As a volunteer, I had an option as to the specialized training I might be given.

As a new soldier, it was common to ask others how they came to be soldiers. A frequent answer was: “The judge said two years in jail or two years in the army.” The choice was simple. As a soldier, one could expect to learn some skills useful in civilian life, as well as earning a reference. As a prisoner, one also could learn “skills” and a criminal record that would plague one for the rest of his life.

I have seen both alternatives in action, first as a common soldier and then as a Canadian prison guard. Believe me, the military is the better choice.

A frequent sentence meted out by our local courts is “two years less a day” in custody, invoking a wasted spell in unsavoury company while one earns a permanent record.

I believe that we could do well by giving those convicted of minor offense the option of military service to the nation or just plain “serving time.” This option might be welcomed by many as an alternative to a lifetime in and out of prison.

Will you step up if your addicted friend or family member calls for help?

M

y mom would tell me when I was growing up in the Sunrise Trailer Park to watch out who my friends were. We had some great neighbors and friends. Truly good people. Then there were those who were the wrong crowd.

The problem with hanging around with the wrong crowd is that they don’t want you to change, improve, or leave. They want you to remain as one of them: to keep doing what you’re doing and what they’re doing.

As we’ve all seen through COVID, human beings are not meant to be alone. Sometimes though, in that desire for connection, acceptance and friendship, it ends up being with the wrong crowd.

Maybe it’s at a house party or a with a few friends watching the game. Or perhaps you’re having a really hard time and it feels like nothing is ever going to get better and a friend wants to help you out.

You’ve had a few drinks, or maybe gotten a little high. Or both.

They offer you something you should try. I’m told that the first time you do, it’s the best experience of your entire life.

A glorious feeling – better than any

euphoric high.

Meth changes you. It’s made from chemicals, many of which are poisonous. Lately it’s being laced with fentanyl, a synthetic CAMERON STOLZ opioid 20 times stronger than regular opioids, which causes overdoses and kills people.

The other ones have a loved one, a family member, or friend who will step up. When the vehicle shows up in front of their house and the driver says the one they care about has overdosed in the back seat and they rush to help, praying they’ll be okay.

No one chooses to be an addict, to say “I’m going to throw everything away and live on the street.”

For some when they hit that bottom, they are able to stop cold and with the help of their family and friends eventually return to the life they use to have.

For women and youth who can’t do it on their own when they finally decide to seek help, there is nowhere in Prince George for them to go. There is no exit from the life they are living.

However, it’s not just treatment facilities that are needed but also the support system for the men, women, and youth who complete their recovery. Support to help them reestablish their lives. To be productive and proud of themselves again.

My mom was right; it matters who your friends are. Hopefully you’re one of the good ones if a friend of yours reaches out.

Was Jesus a socialist or a capitalist?

T

here is an interesting online debate taking place as to whether Jesus of Nazareth was a socialist or a capitalist. Some of the arguments are rather thought-provoking, but others are just silly.

It is important to remember that Jesus was a historical figure who lived in Palestine while it was under the occupation of the Roman Empire.

The fact is, neither socialism nor capitalism existed as established social or economic theories 2000 years ago. Jesus was basing his commentary on his interpretation of Hebrew scripture and tradition.

He applied these principles to his own cultural context. It would therefore be fairly

LESSONS IN LEARNING GERRY CHIDIAC

safe to guess that his challenge to us is to do the same. In other words, whether one professes to be socialist or capitalist, we need to ask ourselves how one would apply the principles Jesus embraced to life in the 21st century.

If one examines the words written by followers who were also contemporaries of Jesus, there are several points that stand

out. One is that Jesus saw the potential for good in everyone. At the same time, he was extremely critical of greed and hypocrisy.

Jesus associated with the rich and poor alike, but he understood the difficulty of being wealthy. He pointed out, for example, that to give to charity from one’s excess is rather meaningless. Meaning comes when we are willing to sacrifice for the well-being of our neighbour.

While some wealthy individuals responded positively to Jesus, many others responded negatively to his urging to be their best selves and live with integrity.

Their reaction is ultimately what led to the execution of Jesus.

What can we then conclude from the debate about the economic theory espoused by Jesus?

First, it doesn’t matter.

The essence of Jesus’s message is that each person is a sacred human being worthy of respect and dignity. We need to embrace this truth not only in ourselves but in everyone who shares the world with us. The key to happiness is gratitude for what we have and a sense of purpose in contributing to a cause greater than ourselves, the well-being of all humanity.

If we upset some powerful people by challenging them to live with kindness and integrity, well, Jesus can relate.

Eight billion mouths to feed

T

his past week saw the world’s human population pass eight billion.

This is, in part, a projection based on the number of births and deaths over the course of a year. It is virtually impossible to actually keep track of populations to a level where one could predict the time and place for the eight-billionth human being. But some time last week, we passed through the number.

It took us only 12 years to go from seven billion to eight billion. It took humanity hundreds of thousands of years to get to just one billion. The rate of growth is speeding up as more people have more babies. On top of that, average life expectancy is increasing across the globe.

AS I SEE IT TODD WHITCOMBE

Modeling predicts the world will have a population of somewhere between 10 and 11 billion by 2050. Of course, it might be less than that if we don’t do a better job of living on this planet. And it could be more if birthrates don’t stabilize while life expectancy keeps increasing.

How many people can the Earth sustain? No one knows the answer.

Presently, we grow approximately 1.5 times as much food as we require. But inefficient systems of delivery result in approximately one third of the food grown going to waste. This results in roughly one in every ten people on the planet being malnourished.

Can we keep growing more food? That is, is there untapped agricultural land? Not really.

Most of the arable land is presently under cultivation. Some, such as Richmond, is also under pavement, buildings, and parking lots. As cities expand, they consume land which could be used for agriculture and with more people, more land will be used for housing.

And then there is climate change. COP 27 wrapped up this past weekend with a declaration address “loss and damage” funding for vulnerable countries but little in the way of moving forward on de-carbonizing the economy.

Our food supply is already feeling the pinch of climate change. Droughts and floods are leaving large portions of our agricultural base in peril. Farmers in the Peace River region and the sunshine coast are both suffering.

With more than eight billion people on Earth, we can’t afford climate change threatening the world’s food supply.

Indian status card users face discrimination, study finds

HANNA PETERSEN Citizen staff

A new study reveals that Indian status card holders face stigma and discrimination on a daily basis when presenting them at stores or to officials.

The study was commissioned by the Union of B.C. Indian Chiefs and is called “They Sigh or Give you the Look: Discrimination and Status Card Usage.”

The National Collaborating Centre for Indigenous Health at the University of Northern British Columbia (UNBC) also provided critical research to assist in the preparation of the report.

The findings show discrimination is a near-universal experience among status First Nations individuals who have used their status card.

The study also explores how this experience is traumatic, particularly for those experiencing other compounding and overlapping forms of oppression, and shapes people’s behaviour for a lifetime.

“Status cards have long been the prime catalyst for the public expression of ongoing racism and stereotyping of Indigenous peoples. The media and schools have failed to educate people on the history of status cards and why First Nations peoples have them,” said UBCIC Grand Chief Stewart Philip, in a news release.

The decision to commission the study stemmed from the unlawful arrest and detention, of Maxwell Johnson and his granddaughter when they presented their federal status cards to open a bank account at a BMO location in Vancouver on Dec. 20, 2019.

They were arrested on suspicion their status cards were fake IDs. Johnson

and his granddaughter were eventually released after officers contacted the Heiltsuk Nation to confirm their membership.

“These results will help us to begin educating Canada so that no grandfather and no granddaughter need ever suffer violence when lawfully going about their business,” added Phillip.

Johnson says he will never forget being handcuffed and seeing his granddaughter standing on the street crying and being handcuffed.

“She was 12 years old, and we were just trying to open a bank account for her. We both have to live with this trauma and the fears caused by it including what could happen the next time we show our Indian status cards,” said Johnson.

“UBCIC’s report is an important step

forward to revealing the discrimination Indigenous peoples experience every day.

I want to see governments and businesses step up to learn, educate, and eliminate this kind of discrimination.”

In order to gather this data, the study undertook a literature review, a media scan, an online survey and fieldwork which involved a “secret shopper” scenario conducted in towns and cities across B.C. Field work assessors were trained and hired to complete and record assessments of their interactions with staff at store and service locations after presenting their status cards as identification or for the purposes of tax exemption.

“Using a literature review, media analysis, online survey, and behavioural fieldwork, the study uncovered a

near-universal experience of discrimination amongst status First Nations who have used a status card,” said Harmony Johnson, the report’s author.

“Although this is an issue we all know about, there were no existing studies available. That excuse no longer exists.”

Among the 1,026 respondents to the online survey, discrimination related to the use of status cards was an ubiquitous experience.

Then in the five and half-week-field work the assessors reported discrimination in 17 per cent of the 103 transactions undertaken and possible discrimination in a further 21 per cent.

The report also found that racism appears most acutely in the use of status cards for tax exemption purposes where the mention of status cards can trigger racist comments rooted in stereotypes that First Nations people get “handouts” or “stuff for free.”

“The burden of educating people on status cards is unjustly on First Nations people when the government has been negligent in providing the proper and relevant resources to educate public service workers and the public about the legality and legitimacy of status cards as government-issued identification,” stated Chief Marilyn Slett, Heiltsuk Nation.

“The end result is unacceptable and traumatizing incidents like those of Mr. Johnson and Tori-Anne who merely wanted to do some banking.”

Ultimately, the study found a common theme was that many status First Nations often choose not to use their status cards in order to avoid potentially negative treatment and the associated emotional consequences.

Manslaughter victim’s remains found in park

MARK NIELSEN Citizen staff

Editor’s note: This story contains disturbing and violent details of a crime.

The missing remains of a victim of a manslaughter committed more than 30 years ago have been found in Connaught Hill Park, Prince George RCMP said last week.

With help from the B.C. Coroners Service, the remains have been confirmed as those of Donna May Charlie, RCMP said, and added that her family has been notified.

Other than to say a member of the public found the remains in October, RCMP did not provide specifics on how they were discovered.

Charlie was 22 years old at the time of her death in September 1990.

In February 1992, a jury found Charlie’s boyfriend, Gerald “Jerry” Smaaslet, then 30 years old, guilty of second-degree murder and recommended he serve at least 15 years in prison prior before becoming eligible to apply for parole.

However, in December 1994, the verdict was overturned on appeal and a new trial ordered. Smaaslet was subsequently

found guilty of manslaughter and sentenced to one year in jail followed by two years probation after receiving credit of 38 months time served in custody prior to sentencing.

Second-degree murder is any murder committed on impulse rather than being planned and deliberate. Manslaughter is the unlawful killing of someone unintentionally.

According to stories printed in the Prince George Citizen at the time of the jury’s verdict and the later decision to order a new trial, the two were staying at a motel on Queensway during a trip away

from Fort Ware, now known as Kwadacha, about 450 kilometres north of Prince George.

In April 1991, and more than seven months after her death, Charlie’s headless body was found in a shallow grave in an empty lot near the motel.

“No cause of death was proved during the trial. Two witnesses said Smaaslet had said he had killed her, but on the stand Smaaslet had a different version of the events,” a Citizen reported at the time.

UNBC Musical Club announces 2023 production CITIZEN STAFF

The UNBC Musical Club will perform the classic musical No, No, Nanette this coming March at Theatre NorthWest.

‘We are so looking forward to this year’s production,’ said club president Ellie Prendergast. “Each fall, we look forward to a year of rehearsal and fun, and we all love to perform.”

This year’s play will run March 16th-19th and March 23rd-26th. Tickets are available online at TheatreNorthWest.com or at Theatre NorthWest on Mondays 9am-2pm.

No, No, Nanette was first performed in 1924, and this year’s production will be directed by Rikki Holland.

“I am really looking forward to putting my own spin on this classic musical,” Holland said.

“Casting is already well underway, and rehearsals started at the beginning of November.”

“Theatre NorthWest loves working with the students each spring,’ Theatre Northwest’s Artistic Producer Marnie Hamagami said.“They bring a great energy to the building and always have a great time.”

Always… Patsy Cline is the true story about how a super star singer and her super fan became fast friends after they met one fateful night and spent years corresponding through letter writing.

Theatre NorthWest presents the play

by Ted Swindley from Nov. 24 to Dec. 14 that sees the story unfold through Louise Seger’s narrative and Patsy Cline’s songs.

The role of Louise Seger is played by Laura Jaye while Sarah Horsman takes on the roll of Patsy Cline.

“She’s pretty sassy,” Horsman said about Cline. “And definitely stands up for herself in a lot of ways and for women to do that in the industry in that time was kind of unheard of so she paved the way for a lot of musicians that we hear today, especially females.”

Horsman grew up singing a lot of different types of music.

“So I guess I bring a little bit of everything into the show,” Horsman said. “I love singing Motown, I love singing R&B, classic rock. I’ve done a lot of that kind of stuff along with my musical theatre training so that definitely lends itself to being able to

meld those different styles together and also take on other people’s vocal-isms because Patsy certainly has a very distinctive voice to bring to the table.”

This is Horsman’s first time to Prince George as she’s mostly performed in Ontario and Alberta during her extensive musical theatre career.

“My experience has definitely prepared me to sing a 27-song show,” Horsman said about performing in Always… Patsy Cline.

“It’s an undertaking for sure so there’s a lot of taking care of yourself and your voice in the theatre, that’s for sure.”

Besides the live band, there’s only two characters on stage telling this story of friendship between Louise and Patsy.

“There’s just Laura and myself – just the two women – and she’s got her own marathon of text and guiding everybody through this wonderful story of Patsy Cline and her love of her music and having this one wild night where she meets Patsy Cline and they become friends and pen pals and after only one night and that also tells us who Patsy Cline was – she was very much appreciative of the people around her and those who took care of her. So it’s a pretty big show for two people to take on.”

George Thorogood and the Destroyers will return after seven years to Prince George this spring.

Five decades, more than 8,000 live shows, and 15 million albums later, George Thorogood and the Destroyers are on their Bad All Over The World – 50 Years of Rock Tour which is taking them to Canada.

They will take the stage at the CN Centre on Sunday, April 30, 2023.

George Thorogood says, “We’ve decided to throw the biggest and baddest rock party ever.”

It’s their only show in B.C.’s interior north of Penticton and tickets are only $49. 50 and $59.50 (plus s/c’s).

Tickets go on sale Friday, November 25, 12 p.m. at TicketsNorth and they are available at the CN Centre Box Office or ticketsnorth.ca.

Prince George skater wins World Cup silver TED CLARKE Citizen staff

In her first-ever ISU long track speed skating World Cup team event, Prince George native Carolina Hiller lived up to her end of the bargain and helped Canada pave a path to the medal podium Saturday in Heerenveen, Netherlands.

The 25-year-old product of the Prince George Blizzard Speed Skating Club joined forces with Ivanie Blondin of Ottawa and Brooklyn McDougall of Calgary to win the silver medal in the first team sprint of the season.

“Winning silver with Carolina and Ivanie today was very special,” McDougall told Speed Skating Canada.

“We hadn’t practiced together before the race, so we are all very happy with the outcome. It’s exciting to race team sprint with the girls again and I think we will be even better with more practice. This was also my first senior World Cup medal, so I am very proud of myself. I will be taking this momentum into tomorrow’s 500m.”

Laurent Dubreuil made it a two-medal day for Canada when he raced to gold in the 500m.

Dubreuil, from Levis, Que., had to reset after being charged with a false start, but got off the line quickly in the 500 en route to a time of 34.34 seconds.

“It was a really good race,” Dubreuil said. “I am happy with my first victory of

the year and the way that I skated today.

The time to beat before I raced was quite difficult to chase, but I was able to stay focused on my goal of skating to win.

“I had a much better start than last week and then an excellent lap. The final corner was the best of my life in the 500.”

Japan’s Wataru Morishige (34.44) was

second, while Merijn Scheperkamp of the Netherlands (34.69) took bronze. Christopher Fiola of Montreal finished eighth and Cedrik Brunet of Gatineau, Que., was 19th.

After two events, Dubreuil sits atop the World Cup standings in the distance.

In the women’s team sprint, Hiller, McDougall and Blondin got off to a slow

start, but quickly closed the gap in the three-lap race. By the time Blondin stopped the clock in 1:27.45, her quick final lap had earned Canada the silver medal. The World Cup medal was a first for Hiller and McDougall.

The Dutch team (Antoinette de Jong, Marrit Fledderus, Femke Kok) crossed the line in 1:26.57 to win gold, while the Americans (McKenzie Browne, Erin Jackson, Kimi Goetz) captured bronze (1:27.72).

In other Canadian results, Blondin placed fifth in the women’s 1,500m, while Beatrice Lamarche of Quebec City was 16th and Alexa Scott of Clandeboye, Man., was 18th. In the men’s 5,00m, Graeme Fish of Moose Jaw, Sask., was ninth and Jordan Belchos of Markham, Ont., was 13th.

The event concludes Sunday with the men’s 1500, women’s 500, women’s 3000 and men’s team sprint. The races will be streamed live on www.cbc.ca starting at 4:30 a.m. PT. Hiller, a fourth-year kniesiology student at the University of Calgary, locked up her spot on Canada’s World Cup team when she won the 500m race at the national trials in Quebec City. On Nov. 11 in Stavanger, Norway, the College Heights graduate competed in her first World Cup race and finished 16th in the women’s 500m event.

Hiller is also scheduled to compete in and back-to-back World Cup events in Calgary (Dec. 9-11, Dec. 16-18).

Jim Reid

January 27, 1969 November 5, 2022 With heavy hearts we announce Rick’s passing on the morning of November 5th, into the loving arms of Jesus.

Rick was born in Prince George, BC to Sharon (Richard) Zarek, Ken (Laura) Wilson, and adoring older sister Brenda (Dan), with his twin sister Kelly (Travis), younger sisters, Krystal (Roland) and Lindsay (Jeremy) followed.

In 1991, Rick married Treena, the “earthly treasure of his heart”, embracing his new family, Ron and Penny Foxcroft, and brothers Tyler (Jen) and Gord (Carol). Together with Treena, Rick built their family, welcoming first son, Brett, then daughter, Hannah. Rick’s family was truly his pride and joy.

Rick joined Canfor in 1990, attained his CMA designation, and advanced through the company in various roles to become the Vice President of Corporate Development and Strategic Capital. In 2018, Rick joined the BID Group as their CFO, then Executive Vice President, Business Operations, where he continued to contribute and influence until his passing. Through his work, Rick embraced and added many new and precious members to his “family,” among whom were Alistair and Mary-Anne Cook.

After his ALS diagnosis, Rick continued to influence others and drive change. Rick was a founding member and member of the Board, of the Canadian ALS Action Committee. As well, Rick volunteered to partake in ALS treatment trials, aware that the benefit would not likely be his, but for others who follow. Rick’s efforts being modelled in his children, who have raised funds for research and campaign for ALS awareness and improved treatment options.

Rick was a devoted and loving husband, a fabulous father, a loving son, brother, also a faithful friend who was humble, gentle spirited and compassionate. Above all this, it was Rick’s expressed and greatest desire that his life, his illness and his passing are reflection of the faith and hope that he had in Jesus Christ. In Rick’s final season of his life he took comfort in the scripture passage Philippians 4: 6,7 Rick will be forever missed by his extensive family, including many aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces and nephews, and numerous dear friends, colleagues and acquaintances but his legacy of love and relationships will live on in each of us.

A Celebration of Rick’s Life will be held at Willingdon Church, Burnaby BC, on December 1, 2022 at 1:00 pm, reception to follow.

If so desired, donations can be made in remembrance of Rick to Sean Healey Center ALS, or Samaritans Purse.

With great sadness, we announce the passing of Jim Reid on November 17, 2022. His loving wife of more than 58 years, Donna (Sam) was by his side at Jubilee Lodge in Prince George when he passed away peacefully at the age of 80. He is survived by his daughters, Becky (Brad) and Elisa-Jane, grandsons, Branden (Ashley) and Andrew (Emily), great grand-daughter Aubrey and his brother Wayne and many nieces and nephews. Jim, a long-time resident of Prince George, was well known and made many friends through his business he ran for more than 40 years as skilled tradesman in autobody repair and paint refinishing.

Those who knew Jim, would know where to find him on a Friday afternoon. In lieu of any service, in memory of a good friend, and to celebrate Jim’s life have a cold beer, remembering the good times you had with him.

Ernewein, Daniel P. June 14, 1953 - November 12, 2022 We are heartbroken to announce that Dan passed away on November 12, 2022, at the age of 69. Survived by his loving wife Karen and daughters Rachelle, Renee, and Rebecca. Predeceased by his mother, Doris.

Dan left Woodstock, Ontario, after playing baseball for several years and joined the Canadian Armed Forces. As often occurred back then, Dan requested to be stationed anywhere but Winnipeg and in any of the forces except the infantry and was duly posted to the PPCLI in Winnipeg! One highlight of his army career was being sent to Egypt in 1973 as part of the United Nations peacekeeping force during the Suez crisis. He retired from the force in Prince George, BC, where he met and married Karen in 1984 and joined Canada Post, retiring in 2008. In Prince George, he was a respected member of the competitive fastball (a feared pitcher) and tennis communities. Gently aging out of competitive sports, he began to excel in curling and golf. Dan enjoyed fishing, skiing, playing music, and spending time with his family.

The entire family moved to Penticton, where he continued his passion for golf. He will be so greatly missed by all of his family. In lieu of flowers, please send any donations to the Dementia and Parkinson’s Society BC. A celebration of life will be announced at a later date.

He is survived by his wife, Margo; son Mitch (Julia); daughters Colleen (Derek), Tracy (Bill), and Lorinda (Richard); along with grandchildren Tyler (Ashley), Liam (Becky), Jenna, Mary (Riley), Lauren, Ally, Orin, Brody, Aiden, Elias and Reese.

A member of the northern B.C. legal community since 1981, he served as both a criminal lawyer and provincial court judge until his retirement. As an ardent proponent of community service, Randy was an active member, speaker, volunteer and contributor to many organizations at the local and provincial levels. He lived his life one day at a time and will be deeply missed.

A celebration of life will be held on December 9th, 2022, 1pm, at the Central BC Railway and Forestry Museum. In lieu of flowers, please consider donating to a charity of your choice.

We are deeply saddened to announce the passing of Elder John Sharp Adams.

Born in Scotland to Alexander and Mary Adams, where he met the love of his life, his wife Susan (Anna). They were married December 1960. John and Anna immigrated with their two children John (Kay), and Sandra (Rob Turner) to Canada in 1965, settling in Prince George. Many of Anna’s siblings also immigrated, making for a large and close extended family.

John worked as an electrician for the IBEW and was involved in many large construction projects in the area. John and Anna enjoyed travelling and often returned to Scotland along with multiple trips to France. He was an automobile enthusiast and was so thrilled when he acquired his E series Mercedes. John was a Master Mason of the Masonic Temple and Worshipful Master of Nechako Lodge.

He loved his family very much and was especially proud of his grandchildren: Tony (Nadine), Kyla (Robert), Tristen and Stephanie along with his great grandchildren (Danica, Fletcher, Harrison, and Jocelyn). He is survived by his brother Alec (Sheena) and little sister Jane (Jackie), brother-in-Law Richard (Lynda) and Sister-in-law Julia (Roy) and numerous nieces and nephews.

“Grandad” was well known for his loose use of rules at family games to the delight of all.

John passed peacefully at Prince George Hospice with family at his side. The family wishes to thank all the amazing people at hospice for looking after all of us. No service will be held at this time.

It is with broken hearts that we announce the death of Clark Magnus Betts on November 15, 2022, at his home in Prince George, BC. Born February 3, 1980, to Sharon Storey and the late Magnus Betts, Clark and his laughter were legends from coast to coast. Left to mourn are his brother Joseph (Aimy), mother Sharon (Larry), daughters Macy (12), Ivy (11), and Josie (9), along with their mother Suzanne, nephews Gibson and Jackson, several aunts and uncles, and the jolliest bunch of assholes this side of the nuthouse (aka cousins and friends). Clark also leaves behind his best friend since before birth, his twin brother Craig. An entire country between them never stopped The Betts Twins from being constant companions all day, every day. He took extreme pride in his three daughters; they were the shining lights of his life. He took joy in raising his pets, most recently the kitten Lois Lane to his Superman, and would take extreme pleasure at the thought of his dog Max greeting him in heaven.

Clark was followed into heaven by his father, Magnus, where they are both certain to be staring down and grinning from cheek to cheek, trying to figure out how to continue tormenting their family. You have left us much too soon. You will be forever missed, loved, and never forgotten. A Celebration of Lives for both father and son will be held on December 3, 2022, at the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 23 in Doaktown, NB, at 2:00 PM, with a luncheon to follow.

This is because it’s an environmentally friendly repair home repair. your attic ASAP that can improve the energy efficiency of your home.

1. TO AVOID PAYING MORE FOR YOUR ENERGY BILLS Insufficient insulation makes your home less energy efficient, which means you’ll pay more for utilities. Additionally, your HVAC system has to work harder to maintain a comfortable indoor temperature. This shortens its lifespan and leads to more frequent repairs.

2. TO AVOID GETTING COLD In winter, heat loss caused by inadequate insulation can contribute to the formation of ice dams on your roof.

These ice buildups can damage your roof and pose a hazard to people walking nearby.

3. TO AVOID IMPAIRING YOUR HOME AND HEALTH A poorly insulated attic is more at risk of water leaks, which could lead to mould growth, wood rot and other damage. This can compromise both your health and the structural integrity of your home.

4. TO AVOID PEST INFILTRATIONS A lack of sealed insulation makes it easier for small creatures to infiltrate your attic, where they might procreate, chew electrical wires and cause other costly damage.

Why you should buy a hygrometer The humidity level in your house can have a significant effect on your well-being. If there isn’t enough moisture in the air, you may develop dry skin, a scratchy throat and chronic nose bleeds. Excess moisture is also problematic as it can lead to water damage and mould growth.

While condensation on the windows and other issues can be signs that the humidity level in your home is less than ideal, the most reliable way to assess the amount of moisture in the air is to use a hygrometer.

HOW IT WORKS A hygrometer is an affordable, user-friendly instrument that measures relative humidity, which is the amount of water vapour in the air expressed as a percentage. Since this device is

hand-held, you can easily monitor the humidity level in each room of your home.

Ideally, the humidity level throughout your home should be between 30 and 50 per cent.

To avoid inaccurate results, don’t use the hygrometer near a heat source. If the humidity level in one or several rooms isn’t optimal, here are a few ways to add or remove moisture from the air: • Install a humidifier or dehumidifier • Ensure your windows and doors are well-sealed • Install ceiling exhaust fans • Open a window • Avoid air-drying laundry indoors To purchase a hygrometer, simply visit any hardware or big-box store in your area.

ATTIC INSULATION MATERIALS Before you add insulation to your attic, you’ll need to select a material that suits your needs and budget. Here are a few options and their benefits: • Cellulose. It’s all-natural, made from recycled materials and offers high thermal resistance.

• Fibreglass. It’s affordable, easy to install and provides excellent thermal performance.

• Hemp. It’s a renewable material that’s easy to install and resistant to rodents and other pests.

• Expanded cork. It’s biodegradable, resistant to water and air leaks and boasts superior thermal and acoustic insulation.

• Mineral wool. It’s durable, offers acoustic insulation and is fire and moisture resistant.

While some types of insulation are easier to install than others, it’s always best to hire a professional to ensure your attic is properly sealed and can protect your home from the elements.

How to make your home more energy-efficient 3 bad habits that will amp up your energy bills If you want to decrease your carbon footprint while paying less for your utility bills, reducing the amount of energy your household consumes is key.

Here’s how to make your home more energy efficient.

Many homeowners are surprised to learn how much energy their electronic devices use. If you’re looking for ways to conserve energy and spend less on your utility bills, here are three habits that you should break immediately.

1. ON GAMING consoles. Video game consoles use 30 to 45 per cent more power than televisions. In addition, running one high-definition gaming console requires the

USE ENERGY-EFFICIENT LIGHTING Compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs) and light-emitting diodes (LEDs) are better options than traditional incandescent lights. LEDs are the most energy-efficient, consuming about a quarter of the energy of incandescent bulbs. What’s more, they last 10 times longer.

SEAL OR REPLACE WINDOWS Heat loss and gain through windows account for about 25 to 30 per cent of residential energy usage. You can make your windows more energy-efficient by adding weatherstripping, installing blinds or curtains and ensuring that window edges are well-sealed with caulk. In addition, consider replacing damaged or poorly insulated windows with energy-efficient ones that are double- or triple-paned.

TUNE UP YOUR HEATING AND COOLING SYSTEM Get your furnace, air conditioner, water heater or other appliance professionally serviced on an annual basis. This will help ensure your heating and cooling system runs at peak efficiency year-round. In addition, be sure to per-

Similarly, a 55-inch flat-screen TV uses twice as much energy as a 32inch model. Consider whether the upgrade in size is worth it.

The bottom line is that you should evaluate your needs and make purchasing decisions accordingly.

In sum, to save energy at home you should evaluate what electronics you use and how you use them. Doing so will allow you to save on your utility bills and may even extend the lifespan of your devices.

CHOOSE ENERGY-EFFICIENT APPLIANCES Look for the Energy Star label when buying large appliances such as refrigerators, washers, dryers, stoves and televisions. Energy Star-certified appliances use 10 to 50 per cent less energy than standard appliances. In addition, choose bathroom fixtures that conserve water such as low-flow showerheads and toilets.

2. LEAVING YOUR ELECTRONICS PLUGGED IN ALL THE TIME. This is a common habit, but did you know that many electronic devices use up to 40 per cent of the energy required for their functioning, even when they’re turned off?

Unplugging your toaster and coffee maker after breakfast and removing chargers from outlets once devices are charged will help you conserve energy.

3. NOT THINKING THROUGH PURCHASES. Laser printers use nearly twice as much power as inkjet versions. Before buying one, ask yourself if the increase in energy consumption over traditional models is worth it.

form any regular maintenance tasks recommended by the manufacturer such as replacing the filters.

To maximize your efforts at making your home more energy efficient, consider hiring a certified energy auditor. This professional can evaluate the inefficiencies in your home and provide expert recommendations.

equivalent amount of energy as running 10 Blu-Ray devices. You’re better off using your console for nothing but gaming.

Energize your home with orange From the soft hues of a sunset to the bright shades of the citrus fruit that bears its name, orange is a playful colour that can add warmth and energy to a room. Here’s some advice on how to incorporate it into your decor.

FIND THE RIGHT PAIRING Combine orange with blues and greens to give the room a lively tropical vibe. Alternatively, a pastel orange paired with taupe or ecru will provide a calming effect. If you prefer a more monochrome design, blend beiges and browns with subtle orange hues like pumpkin spice.

While you might be tempted to tone down orange with a neutral palette, don’t be afraid to show off your personality with bold choices.

Pair it with violet and magenta to create a space reminiscent of India. Alternatively, use it alongside yellow, fuchsia, turquoise and chartreuse as one of several accent colours in a white room.

OPT FOR ACCENT PIECES In general, orange is a colour best used sparingly. If you want to test out this bold shade, decorate a space with eye-catching orange vases, lamps, pillows, rugs or curtains. If you want to make a statement, opt for an orange sofa, painted lower cabinets or a wallpapered accent wall.

USE IT TO BRIGHTEN UP THE ROOM Orange adds a dynamic, contemporary flair without being as aggressive as red. In fact, this colour is particularly popular in front entrances and gathering places like the living room. You can also use orange to perk up a windowless room or dark space. Simply pair it with white or light wood furniture to maximize its ability to brighten.

To find the perfect orange accents for your home, scout your local shops, farmers markets and antique stores. And if you’re not sure you can pull off orange on your own, consider hiring an interior decorator to help.

Tips for buying energy-efficient appliances In addition to being eco-friendly, energy-efficient appliances can save you money on your utility bills. Here are some tips for choosing the best energy-efficient appliances for your home.

LOOK AT THE LABELS

Most large appliances sold in Canada are required to have a black-and-white EnerGuide label. This sticker displays the appliance’s annual energy consumption and indicates how it performs relative to other models in its class.

Always consult the EnerGuide label to learn more about the appliance before you buy it.

You should also look for the Energy Star logo, which indicates that the product meets strict standards for energy efficiency.

CONSIDER THE SIZE It’s often important to determine what size you need your appliances to be, especially when it comes to HVAC systems. If your unit is too small for your house, it will operate at peak capacity for long periods of time, which isn’t energy efficient. An oversized appliance isn’t ideal either, as it costs more up front and is more expensive to operate.

Size is also an important factor when buying refrigerators, washers, dryers, furnaces and boilers.

MAKE A “SMART” PURCHASE Smart appliances are products you can sync up with a smart phone or home energy management system. This provides you with greater control over the way the appliance operates as well as real-time data about its energy usage.

In addition, many smart appliances, such as refrigerators, laundry machines and HVAC systems, can be programmed to operate when electricity rates are lowest, saving you money.

Finally, once you’ve selected your new appliance, make sure to get it installed by the right professional. A faulty installation can impede your appliance’s energy efficiency and even cause it to break down.

Smart lighting tips to help you save Are you looking for ways to cut down on the amount of power you use at home? If so, here are some tips that will allow you to more efficiently light your home.

USE THE POWER OF REFLECTION Choose light colours for the walls. White reflects up to 80 per cent of the light in a room, while black only reflects 10 per cent. This means that lighter rooms need less lighting to illuminate them than darker ones.

Another trick is to place your table and standing lamps in corners so that the light reflects off two walls at once.

USE THE BARE MINIMUM Choose lightbulbs that are just powerful enough for the activities you plan to do in a given area. A needlessly powerful light will waste energy.

Avoid linking more than one light to a single switch and install dimmers to control the intensity of each fixture. It’s also a good idea to equip outside lights with motion detectors or timers. Finally, turn off every light when going to bed, leaving a room or heading out.

USE ENERGY EFFICIENT LIGHTBULBS Compact fluorescent lamps (CFL) and

light-emitting diodes (LED) use less energy than standard halogen lights (respectively 75 and 90 per cent less). They also last a lot longer.

When buying bulbs, make sure to look for the best lumen-to-watt ratio. A better ratio means that the bulb will provide more light while using less energy.

Outside, opt for solar-powered lamps. The LED light bulbs on them will run for up to 100,000 hours, but once they burn out, they can’t be replaced.

CHOOSE YOUR FIXTURES WISELY When selecting light fixtures, remember that transparent and light-coloured lampshades let more light through than dark ones. In addition, pivoting lamps allow you to effectively target the light cast.

CLEAN YOUR LIGHT FIXTURES A buildup of dust and dirt can dull the intensity of your indoor lighting. To ensure that the maximum amount of light possible gets emitted from each lamp, keep your fixtures, bulbs and shades clean.

If you follow these tips, you’ll more efficiently light your home and therefore save on your energy bill.
