Pioneeer Log Homes grows internationally Pioneer Log Homes of Williams
Lake is experiencing a wave of un-precedented growth overseas.
The company — which makes Western Red Cedar log homes and was featured on Extreme Make-over and HGTV — has experi-enced worldwide growth, building around 20 log homes outside of the continental North America this summer.
From Hawaii to the United Kingdom, it’s been a busy sum-mer abroad for Pioneer. A total of nine homes were built in Scotland and seven in Austria, with homes erected in Germany and Holland as well.
“If we can get clients to see them in person or at least drive by them, it gets them thinking,” said sales
manager Gary Crosina. “If we can just get a Pioneer Log Home in the area, the inquiries and phone calls start rolling in.”
Crosina said this year is the first time they’ve had any leads for sales in Russia and Kazakhstan, where Pioneer Log Homes will be work-ing on building possibly four struc-tures of more than 20,000-square feet.
Pioneer Log Homes still sends its own workers to do the log set to make sure the logs are in the right place, instead of being subcon-tracted out.
It’s been a very busy year and a special experience for their em-ployees travelling about.
“Our employees go over there, working long hours to set these log
homes on client’s foundations,” Crosina said. “For example, we built one in Hawaii this year, the craftsmen were pretty happy to go as for many it was there first time there.”
The blossoming international success has been welcomed by Pioneer Log Homes. With a strong Internet presence through its web-site, www.pioneerloghomesofbc.com, and successful marketing campaign from SEO Company
Mainstreethost.com, Pioneer was able to attract interest from around the globe while the U.S. economy continues to pick up the pieces from the recession.
“With the States being in the tur-moil that they’re in, this has been a great revelation for us — it’s filled
the void and kept us busy,” Crosina said.
“Once the U.S. comes back, I’m not sure what we going to do as we will definitely have more then we can handle.”
It’s a problem Pioneer Log Homes will be glad to welcome when the time comes. Since 1973, the log home builder has been able to adapt and grow through-out North America, becoming the number 1 handcrafted log home company in the world.
Today Pioneer has three fully productive building sites: the main site located five miles south of Williams Lake, the Soda Creek site eight miles north of Williams Lake and the 153 Mile site on Likely Road.

‘Remembering John’gathering.
a fall dance to rememberIt was my first year
in the nursing program and I was keen to do well and be in with the “in” crowd. When the discussion of an Octo-ber school dance arose, I promptly volunteered to get a band for the event.
I had absolutely no idea how or where to get a band but I thought it would not be too much work to round one up (and make an impres-sion on my classmates).
After weeks of rejec-tion, I was desperate. Finally, just in time, I found a band that agreed to play for the dance
and all was well — I thought. When the band arrived to set up early, I was busy decorating and running around so I failed to notice the types of instruments they were bringing in and, in fact, I
hardly noticed the band members at all.
When I had talked to the leader of the group on the phone, he told me they played all kinds of music, including the rock and roll I was ask-ing for. The cost was surprisingly reasonable, too. The leader told me they were a steel band so I was pretty stoked for rocking to steel guitars!
When the curtain was set to go up, there was great excitement and an-ticipation because I had not said too much about the band — everyone was ready for a fun night
of music and dancing. I saw that every mem-ber of the group had a steel drum (beautifully decorated) and matching outfits and I thought to myself “how interesting — they must have a real variety of music,” and costume changes, too.
As the first drums began to play I knew I had misunderstood the term “steel” and I had a wee problem (popularity with my peers being the least of it!).
They tried to accom-modate and accepted all the requests from the audience with big, non-
English-speaking smiles and nods while continu-ing to play strictly Ja-maican music all night.
There were a few no-table exceptions when they tried very hard to make the echoing drums sound like rock and roll music.
I have never heard steel drums thump out Louie Louie with such energy and enthusiasm before or since!

CORNER STORIESCOLLEEN CROSSLEY
About 18 of the 300 or so people filling the bleachers were given the opportunity to pose their questions at the microphone during the first public consultation meeting held at Wil-liams Lake Secondary School Tuesday evening on School District 27’s Initial Options Report which proposes to close and consolidate schools in the district.
For the north end of the district the re-port proposes closing Glendale, Kwaleen, and Wildwood elemen-tary schools and making Columneetza and Wil-liams Lake secondary schools into one grades 7 to 12 school on two campuses.
While it was sup-posed to be a informa-tion session and ques-tion and answer session with the school trustees and district staff, many of the presenters burst into passionate speeches in favour of keeping el-ementary schools open. Many of the speakers were adamantly op-posed to the idea of making Williams Lake and Columneetza sec-
ondary schools into one grades 7 to 12 second-ary school on two cam-puses.
Some parents said the plan would drive more parents into sending their children to private schools, thereby fur-ther eroding the public school system.
People submitted
cards with their ques-tions on them and as time was running out on the meeting some ques-tions were read out by Superintendent Mark Thiessen rather than have people come to the microphone to speak to the trustees personally.
Among other things people wanted to know
about enrollment num-bers, how the new sec-ondary school on two campuses would be managed and operated, bussing times and walk limits.
One individual wanted to know if consultation meetings would also be held at the schools that would be receiving the
influx of students from the elementary schools proposed for closure.
One question sug-gested partnering with other groups to lobby Victoria to restore fund-ing for the district and its unique qualities.
More workshop/think-tanks will be held in the district before the
board makes any deci-sion on proposals in the report. There will be an in-depth presentation of the Initial Options Re-port with time for input from the community at Alexis Creek School on Oct. 16 starting at 7 p.m. Further opportunity to provide feedback on the report and to make pre-
sentations to the board will be provided in Wil-liams Lake at a Think Tank to be held at Col-umneetza Secondary in Williams Lake at 6:30 p.m. on Oct. 25.
A think tank will also be held at Peter Skene Ogden Secondary in 100 Mile House on Oct. 23 at 6:30 p.m.

Inspection of the tongue is still a part of a regular medical or dental examination. This goes back to the
days of early Chinese medicine and began to be done in Western medicine in the 18th century. Observing the texture, colour and appearance of the tissue can signify medical problems and stimulate further investigation.
The middle ear contains the smallest bone in the human body. It’s called the stapes (stirrup) and is 0.1 inch long. It is linked by tiny joints to two other bones called the malleus (hammer) and the incus (anvil). The common names in brackets indicate their shape. These three bones are instrumental in conducting sound to our inner ear. They are delicate and fragile. Treat them with respect.
With diabetes on the rise in North America, many people are pre-diabetic and don’t know it. To detect this, your doctor can order a fasting blood glucose test for you. If you are pre-diabetic, exercise and weight-loss are the best solutions. This condition doesn’t necessarily progress to diabetes. You can change your future.
Each year as the cough and cold season arrives, the subject of taking zinc as a cold remedy comes up. Is it useful? Recent studies show that zinc doesn’t reduce the severity of the cold symptoms but can reduce the duration of the cold by 1.6 days from the usual seven days.

Iver Meyers was concerned that creating a grades 7 to 9 secondary school in Williams Lake would cost enrollment and make it harder to deliver education at the Kinder-garten to Grade 10 schools in the Chilcotin because some parents will chose to send their Grade 7s to Williams Lake rather than keep them at home in their own communi-ties. Gaeil Farrar photos
Columneetza student Shaelyn Wintges (not Jenny as recorded in the Oct.4 edition of the Tribune) collected 259 signatures in two days from people opposing the grades 7 to 12 school configuration. She said Grade 7s shouldn’t have to lose their innocence early by being exposed to the negative peer pressures and bullying they will face in a grades 7 to 12 secondary school.
Parent Karen Sokolan made an impassioned plea not to take Grade 7s out of elementary schools in the area and put them into a con-solidated grades 7 to 12 secondary school on two campuses. She said many Grade 7s are two young to be making such a big transition where they will experience bullying and more peer pressure to do drugs, drink alcohol and engage in other negative activities.
School closure and consolidation proposals meet strong opposition
B.C. civic leaders have called for tighter controls on Health Canada-licensed medi-cal marijuana growers, citing public safety and nuisance issues.
The vote came dur-ing the same Union of B.C. Municipalities convention that saw delegates vote to sup-port iminalization of marijuana.
“We need to find a way to know where these are so we can provide some regula-tory control,” North Cowichan regional district director Al Sie-bring said.
He said most busts of pot grow-ops turn out to be licensed by Health Canada but are growing “far, far more” than permitted and are increasingly linked to organized crime.
The Surrey-spon-sored resolution calls on the federal govern-ment to force medical pot growers to first get a municipal per-mit or licence showing the grow site complies with local bylaws and electrical, fire, health, building and safety regulations.
It’s the first time UBCM has actually approved the demand. It came to the conven-tion floor in the pre-vious two years but was tabled each time amid concerns from
some civic leaders that a crackdown would breach growers’ priva-cy and reduce medical marijuana access.
Ottawa is already moving to phase out the current individual licences to grow medi-cal pot and instead di-rect authorized users to buy from permitted commercial growers.
Senior B.C. Conser-vative minister James Moore said UBCM’s other vote on marijua-na – to decriminalize it – won’t sway the fed-eral government.
“We’re elected on a platform that very ex-plicitly said we are not interested in legalizing marijuana.”
Cities push B.C.-wide
shark fin ban
UBCM delegates voted by a wide mar-gin to ask the province to outlaw the posses-sion or sale of shark fins that Chinese res-
taurants turn into cov-eted bowls of shark fin soup.
Activists have been going from city to city in Metro Vancouver convincing councils to impose local bans but North Vancouver City Coun. Craig Keating said a provincial ban is preferable, along with a federally imposed ban on shark fin imports, to combat the “inhumane and wasteful” practice of harvesting sharks for fins.
Cross-border cash drain debated
The cash drain on local businesses from cross-border shopping inspired one UBCM resolution that gener-ated debate.
Castlegar council proposed a resolution to lobby the federal government to rescind its recent loosening of overnight duty free limits, which signifi-cantly increased the
value of goods Cana-dians can bring back after trips of at least 24 hours.
“The federal govern-ment is encouraging us to go across the border and increase our spend-ing,” Castlegar Coun. Dan Rye said.
But the motion was defeated after Creston Coun. Wesly Graham opposed it and said Ottawa should simply tighten the current lax collection of duties and taxes by Canadian bor-der guards.
Thumbs down on casino
benefit reform
A proposal to redis-tribute some of the $82 million a year casino host cities get to cit-ies without gambling facilities was rejected amid concerns over how it would work.
Advocates said the current system where only host cities get 10 per cent of gambling
profits divides cities into winners and losers and should be reformed to spread the wealth.
Port Coquitlam Mayor Greg Moore said most patrons now are registered through player cards so the B.C. Lottery Corp. could easily estimate how much money is spent at a given casino by people who live outside that host city, allowing benefits to be apportioned equitably to other municipalities.
“The current regula-tions are pitting com-munities against each other,” he said. “It’s creating an injustice between local govern-ments around the prov-ince.”

The B.C. govern-ment has reached a tentative agreement with its largest em-ployee group, as the B.C. Government and Service Employees’ Union has recom-mended acceptance of a two-year agreement with a four per cent raise.
Premier Christy Clark announced the settlement Friday at the Union of B.C. Municipalities con-vention, after talks broke down in the spring and the BC-GEU staged a series of strikes at liquor stores and govern-ment offices around the province.
BCGEU president Darryl Walker said the government dropped its proposal to sell the Liquor Distribution Branch warehouse and delivery system, which was “huge” for the union and a step towards privatizing government liquor stores as well.
“We think this is the spine of the system,” Walker said. “Without this we would perhaps have lost the whole system.”
Clark said the settle-ment meets the gov-ernment’s “coopera-tive gains” bargaining
mandate, where sav-ings and efficiencies cover the costs of pay increases, but offered few details.
Walker said the 26,000-member union agreed to work with the government to reduce sick days and find new efficiencies in operations that in-clude ministry opera-tions, social workers, and provincial prison and court services.
The union dropped its proposal to open more liquor stores on Sundays to increase revenue. Walker said that was to protect members whose dis-tribution jobs were going to be priva-tized.
“Now that [priva-tization] is gone, we
think we can talk to this government and in fact the next gov-ernment about what it means to build rev-enues, and if we can find a way to do that by opening stores, then I think it’s win-win,” Walker said.
Clark also an-nounced a tentative agreement with resi-dent physicians in B.C. hospitals, also a two-year deal under cooperative gains.
On Wednesday the government and the B.C. Nurses’ Union announced a tentative agreement for 32,000 Registered Nurses and Registered Psychi-atric Nurses. Health Minister Margaret MacDiarmid said the agreement includes
a “modest” wage in-crease, with details
to be released after members vote on it.

Tuesday, Oct. 9 is the date for the next film of the Williams Lake Film Club -- the award winning Bel-gian film L’enfant.
Screening will start at 7 p.m., back doors will open at 6:30 p.m.
The directors of our next film, the Dardennes brothers, Jean-Pierre and Luc, are from Belgium.
They write, produce and direct their films together and started this in the late 1970s. They first came to in-ternational attention in the mid 1990s.
They won their first major international film prize when Ro-setta won the Palme d’Or at the 1999 Cannes Film Festival.
All their films since have played at the Cannes main compe-tition and won one of the major prizes. Over the span of 12 years they have won more awards than any other filmmakers in the his-tory of the Cannes Film Festival.
And we are show-ing one of their Palme d’Or award winning films this Tuesday. L’enfant (The Child) shows a young couple living in a run-down, gritty, working-class neighbourhood some-where in Belgium. There are no jobs, there is not much mo-tivation, there seems to be just some sense of survival. Bruno, around 20, is a hus-tler and down-and-out petty thief.
He lives with his girlfriend Sonia, about
18, who is pregnant. As the new and in-
experienced mother navigates the bleak industrial landscape of the small Belgian town to show Bruno their newborn baby, he could not care less. But then Bruno falls in with a clandestine group that buys and sells healthy children on the black market and he gets an idea. There is some easy money to be made here, he could sell their baby.
And he does. He is completely dumb-founded that Sonia goes crazy on him. One always can have more babies after all. But Sonia gets to him and Bruno goes against all odds to bring their baby home.
The Dardenne brothers craft lean, unfancy movies, full of ordinary people, with no special effect, but the emotional im-pact of their movies
is devastating. So is L’enfant. You want to seriously dislike Bruno, but somehow it is difficult once you realize that he really has neither the abil-ity nor the education or inclination to think through what he has done – or is doing. He simply goes along with life in this post-enfantindustrial area. He is not a bad person, just a guy who liked Sonia, who suddenly
does not like him any-more. Sonia is from the same background, but she knows one thing – she has to take care of their baby. Both are somewhat like children them-selves, simply react-ing to life.
As Joe Morgenstern from The Wall Street Journal said: “ This film is astonishing in its clarity and shatter-ing in its power” and I think this really says it best.
This film was re-leased in 2006, French, with English subtitles, which are
very easy to read in-deed in this one.
I hope you will not miss it – see you next Tuesday, Oct. 9!
Admission is $9 reg-ular, $8 for members, and $6 for seniors/elders and students. Memberships are $10, valid until next April, and they are available at the door.

rancher named B.c. lieutenant
GovernorTom FleTCheRBlack Press
Nicola Valley rancher Judith Guichon has been named B.C. Lieutenant Governor, as Sto:lo Grand Chief Steven Point’s five-year term comes to an end.
Guichon runs the family cattle ranch in the Nicola Valley. She has served as president of the B.C. Cat-tlemen’s Association, a director of the Grassland Conservation Council of B.C., and on provincial government task forces on ranching and species at risk.
“Mrs. Guichon has dedicated herself to her community, province and country,” Prime Minister Stephen Harper said in a statement Monday. “She is a leader in keeping Brit-ish Columbia’s agriculture and cattle industries en-vironmentally sound and she has worked hard to promote and protect the ranchers of British Co-lumbia.”
Premier Christy Clark
thanked Point for his work and congratulated Guichon.
“She has a deep ap-preciation for the history and traditions of British Columbia and has spent a lifetime ensuring that we all stay connected to our roots – particularly through her work with the B.C. Cattlemen’s Associa-tion,” Clark said.
Lieutenant Governors are appointed by the Gov-ernor General on the rec-ommendation of prime ministers. They serve five-year terms as the Queen’s representative in each province, declaring new legislation and performing ceremonial duties around the province.
Point is a former pro-vincial court judge. Be-fore being named to chief commissioner of the B.C. Treaty Commission, Point served as an elected chief of the Skowkale First Na-tion for 15 years. He also served as the tribal chair of the Stó:lo Nation Govern-ment, and Grand Chief of the Stó:lo Tribal Council.

B.C. VIEWSTOM FLETCHER
Skills training ‘our mission,’ Dix declaresMy column on skills train-
ing a couple of weeks ago gave short shrift to the NDP position: tax the banks and hand out grants for women’s studies, sociology and other worthless pursuits, while skilled jobs go begging.
That’s a pretty crude cari-cature, so I sat down with NDP leader Adrian Dix in his legislature office last week to get a better sense of his thinking on the subject.
Dix has been devoting a lot of time lately to skills training, in trades particu-larly. He meets frequently with business people now, and his recent speeches em-phasize that every one of them talks about the grow-ing shortage of skilled em-ployees.
Dix credits Premier Christy Clark and jobs min-ister Pat Bell with making some good moves recently, announcing equipment up-grades for vocational pro-grams around the province. He says it’s because the NDP have been “pound-ing away at them for eight months” about freezing ad-vanced education spending in their March budget. Dix calls that a crucial mistake and predicts the government will reverse it soon.
“So I think, if we’re go-ing to have a mission for four years as a government, if we’re elected, this is the mission: to start to address the skills shortage,” he told me.
In his speech to the recent municipal convention, and again at an NDP provincial council meeting, Dix zeroed in on B.C.’s apprentice-ship system. Since the B.C. Liberals took it from trade unions and set up a Crown corporation called the In-dustry Training Authority in 2004, the completion rate for apprentices has fallen to 37 per cent, he said.
Dix assured me he isn’t proposing to “blow up” the
ITA, or hand control back to unions. They will have “a voice,” along with business.
Speaking to the NDP ex-
ecutive, Dix referred to Phil Hochstein, president of the non-union Independent Con-tractors and Businesses’ As-sociation, as the symbol of trades training decline. Not surprisingly, Hochstein has a different take.
The 37 per cent figure is misleading, Hochstein said, because under the ITA there are currently 32,000 apprentices in the system, twice as many as when it was union controlled.
Many drop out in the first year, and Alberta claims a better completion rate be-cause they don’t start count-ing until the second year.
And when Dix touts Al-berta’s “mandatory” trade system, Hochstein said he means returning to a system where all work is restricted to journeymen or registered apprentices of that trade.
“What it does is impose union jurisdiction on the training system of the en-tire construction industry,” Hochstein said.
“So multi-skilling, multi-tasking, organizing the work in the most efficient way is blown out of the water, and it’s stuck in the old craft system of training.”
The marketplace has spoken on that restrictive
system, he said, and union-ized construction is down to about five per cent of the market, based on payroll.
Hochstein said the NDP talks a great game about getting more young people into trades.
But when unions have the upper hand, they will always favour seniority. A quota of two apprentices per journeyman means another one can’t be hired.
Dix agreed with me that the public school system has over-emphasized uni-versity, to the detriment of not just industrial trades but lab techs, chefs and other
skilled workers that are in short supply.
As B.C. Federation of La-bour president Jim Sinclair recently noted, tradesmen themselves often don’t en-courage their kids, because they’ve been told all their lives that they are “tool monkeys” in a dead-end job.
And would NDP student grants be targeted to need? Dix’s answer was a definite maybe.

I can’t believe we’re going through another NHL lockout.
I don’t think there has ever been a time where the owners and players have been so out of touch with their fans.
While things are a bit better here in Can-ada, in North America as a whole the econ-omy has been bad. People are losing their homes, struggling to find work and relieved to find a job that pays more than 10 bucks an hour.
Do you know how much an NHL player makes an hour? Me neither. But it’s a whole lot more than 10 bucks.
Right now the aver-age salary per game is $29,878, so given that a game takes three hours to play count-ing intermission, you could say they make a minimum wage just shy of $10,000 an hour.
Of course, they don’t just put in the three hours we see in the arena … but still.
If minimum wage average Joe wants a great seat it can cost him $300 … some-thing he might work 30 hours to afford.
By the same token the average NHL play-er would have to pay almost $300,000 for a seat just to gain proper empathy for what a fan sacrifices to watch him play.
If you’re a top-paid superstar like Alex Ovechkin who pulls in $109,756 per game or $36,585 “per hour” you would have to shell out well over a million dollars a seat just to get a feel for what it costs to be a fan! And that doesn’t even include poutine fries and a beer.
I don’t know. Maybe
the owners are greedy, maybe the players de-serve a bigger slice of the money-oozing hockey pie, but I’m just saying it’s not like anyone — owner or player — is hurting for pocket change. And a lot of their fans are.
Back in the day hockey was some-thing played for love of the game. Players even had day jobs to support their hockey habit.
I can remember read-ing about one player who moonlighted as a fireman and had to leave in the middle of a playoff game to fight a blaze.
I’m not saying we should return to those helmetless days of yore, but if fans are willing to give up 30 hours of their wages just to watch their hockey heroes play for one evening, may-be the owners and the players can sacrifice a little too.
I keep hearing the players justify their position by saying there wouldn’t be a game without them;
how they’re the ones putting themselves out there and risking inju-ries.
No one seems to realize there wouldn’t be a game without the fans.
Fans are putting in full days of sweat and injury risks too; but in their case it’s for basic wages. It is the fan’s hard-earned dollars that pay for the game played by million-aires.
What would happen if the lockout contin-ues and when things are finally resolved fans refuse to forgive and forget?
I know a few hard-core supporters who are vowing to do ex-actly that.
They were willing to overlook the last lock-out but having another one happen so soon has left them with the “fool me once” atti-tude. Of course once
the hockey pucks drop they may weaken their stance.
We are Canadian af-ter all.
But, what if the doors finally open … and nobody is there? What if the hockey song plays and the people on the couch yawn and switch chan-nels?
Or what if they’re down at the arena playing the game themselves or cheer-ing on a beer league instead?
With no one to watch, how long be-fore both owners and players cash in their hard-bartered zillion dollar agreements for a big wad of cold, hard diddlysquat?
I just heard they are preparing to head back to the bargaining table.
Can you imagine if the owners and play-ers called a press con-
ference and said, “You know what? We’ve been a bunch of knuck-leheads. We talked it over and we don’t need any more of your money. We’re already making waaaay too much. We just want to open the arenas and play the game for our fans since they’re the ones who make it all possible. We apolo-gize for losing sight of that. As a small token of our appreciation the first game is on us, in-cluding poutine fries and a beer.”
Or better yet, take the 17 per cent they’re fighting over and de-duct it from the ticket prices for the entire season. And next year’s too.

Since B.C.’s Smok-ing Cessation Pro-gram launched a year ago on Sept. 30, 2011, 149,899 orders for smoking cessation products have been placed through Health-Link BC.
“We want to make the healthy choice the easy choice when it comes to quitting smoking,” said Minis-ter of Health Dr. Mar-garet MacDiarmid in the press release. “In the first year since the launch of our Smok-ing
Cessation Program, thousands of British Columbians have tak-en the all important step to quitting, which is one of the best ways to reduce
health risks such as cancer, heart disease and asthma.”
The program is eas-ily accessed by call-ing 8-1-1, available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and aims to help British Colum-bians stop smoking by assisting with the cost of smoking cessation aids. Once in each cal-endar year, B.C. resi-dents enrolled with the Medical Services Plan can receive PharmaC-are coverage for a sin-gle continuous course of a prescribed smok-ing cessation drug or a free 12-week supply of nicotine replacement gum or patches.
Between Sept. 30, 2011 - the program’s launch date - and Sept. 30, 2012, 149,899 or-
ders were placed for free access to nicotine replacement therapies (NRTs) through 8-1-1. As well, over 40,000 people have obtained a prescription for a smoking cessation drug while visiting their physician for an-other reason.
NRTs are over-the-counter medications that contain nicotine and work to reduce withdrawal symptoms. They act as a substitute for the nicotine smok-ers would get through smoking.
Through the Smok-ing Cessation Program, PharmaCare covers the prescription drugs varenicline (Champix) and bupropion (Zy-ban). These drugs do not contain nicotine, but work on the brain to manage withdrawal symptoms and crav-ings and reduce the urge to smoke.
British Columbians who register with the program are able to receive further support from QuitNow Servic-es (‘QuitNow’), which is operated by the BC Lung Association. HealthLink BC staff can transfer callers di-rectly to QuitNow.
Since the Smoking Cessation Program be-gan, QuitNow has had more than
20,000 contacts with individuals interested in quitting. More than 11,000 people have registered for Quit-Now web, text and telephone
support. “QuitNow offers
quit-smoking supports, which complement the Smoking Cessation Program. We’re very pleased at the pro-gram’s success and to see so many British Columbians seeking help to quit,” said BC Lung Association CEO Scott McDonald.
In April, QuitNow Services further en-hanced its web pro-grams to include a live-chat service that offers instant, no-wait coaching for online members to help sup-port their efforts in quitting tobacco. The live- chat service is staffed by QuitNow coaches from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m.,
Monday to Friday and from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekends and holidays.
“Every year tobacco-related deaths rob us needlessly of friends, family and loved ones.
I personally know how difficult it is to quit,” says Premier Christy Clark in the press re-lease.
“Tobacco is the larg-est single cause of premature death and disease in our prov-ince, and although the numbers show that a lot of progress has been made, there is still more we can do. I’m so proud that one year later, our program continues to provide smokers with a new level of direct support to quit, to live smoke-free, and to improve their own health as well as the health of their families.”
Canadian Cancer Society, BC and Yu-kon, CEO Barbara Kaminsky says:
“Cancer prevention depends on healthy living and healthy public policies. We can’t underestimate the positive health im-pact quitting smoking
has. I applaud British Columbians who have taken the important
next step and chosen the Smoking Cessa-tion Program, seeking
help in quitting for themselves and their families.”

Clark vows newconstruction projects
Tom FleTcherBlack Press
Premier Christy Clark announced $207 million worth of accelerated capital projects, including roadworks, school and hospital improve-ments in her speech to close the Union of B.C. Municipalities convention Friday.
Clark said accel-erated projects will be announced in the weeks ahead, includ-ing school improve-ments in Nanaimo, Campbell River, Houston, Surrey, Richmond, Mission, Maple Ridge and West Vancouver.
“These are new projects that we can get started this year, but this capital in-vestment is not new money,” Clark told a Victoria convention hall packed with lo-cal politicians.
“It is money we
have saved from pinching our pennies, and I am very proud of that.”
Clark also pledged the four-laning the last 240 km of the Trans-Canada High-way from Kamloops to the Alberta border, a project expected to cost $650 mil-lion over the next 10 years.
The commitment adds $509 million to the existing B.C. budget of $141 mil-lion over three years, with federal cost sharing to be negoti-ated.
She also announced the beginning of planning work for replacement of the 54-year-old George Massey tunnel under the Fraser River from Richmond to South Delta.
Taking questions after the speech, Clark said the accel-erated capital projects
are about continuing the development of the Pacific Gateway transportation plan and using savings to speed up community improvements, not boosting the govern-ment’s popularity go-ing into an election next May.
Federal Heritage Minister James Moore addressed the UBCM convention Friday morning, listing the federal government’s contributions to large infrastructure pro-grams in B.C.

Premier Christy Clark’s meeting with Alberta Premier Ali-son Redford Mon-day lasted only 15 minutes, and didn’t resolve any of their differences about the Enbridge heavy oil pipeline proposal.
Clark spoke by phone with reporters after what she de-scribed as a “frosty and quite short” meeting with Red-ford in Calgary. She said she reiterated her government’s five conditions for supporting the
Northern Gateway pipeline, including one about B.C. need-ing a “fair share” of benefits from the line.
The other four conditions are for the project to pass a federal environ-mental review, and for “world leading” spill response on land and on water, as well as meeting le-gal requirements for aboriginal and trea-ty rights along the route from northern Alberta to Kitimat.
Redford told re-porters in Calgary after the meeting that she reiterated her po-
sition that giving up any of Alberta’s oil royalties is “a non-starter.” She said she asked Clark to pro-pose other ways that B.C. could increase benefits, but Clark offered no response.
“I gave her the op-portunity, more than once in the meeting, to say that royalties aren’t on the table, and she didn’t take that,” Redford said.
Clark said it’s not her job to find ways of increasing ben-efits to B.C.
“It is up to who-ever is going to ben-
efit from this proj-ect to come forward and advocate for it. In my view, that’s her,” Clark said. “I said to her today, as it stands right now, there is absolutely no way that British Columbia will sup-port this proposal.”
As Clark was pre-paring for her meet-ing, B.C. Environ-ment Minister Terry Lake told a Kam-loops radio station that benefits for B.C. could mean more value-added jobs, such as refining the oil.

TIPS FROM THE CRD
Thanksgiving Safety The kitchen is the heart of the home, especially at Thanksgiving. Kids love to be involved in holiday prepara ons. Safety in the kitchen is important, especially on Thanksgiving Day when there is a lot of ac vity and people at home.
• Stay in the kitchen when you are cooking on the stovetop so you can keep an eye on the food.
• Stay in the home when cooking your turkey and check on it frequently.
• Keep children away from the stove. The stove will be hot and kids should stay 3 feet away.
• Make sure kids stay away from hot food and liquids. The steam or splash from vegetables, gravy or co ee could cause serious burns.
• Keep the oor clear so you don’t trip over kids, toys, pocketbooks or bags.
• Keep knives out of the reach of children.• Be sure electric cords from an electric knife,
co ee maker, plate warmer or mixer are not dangling o the counter within easy reach of a child.
• Keep matches and u lity lighters out of the reach of children — up high in a locked cabinet.
• Never leave children alone in room with a lit candle.
• Make sure your smoke alarms are working. Test them by pushing the test bu on.

Hints for tracking gameSome hunters are un-
skilled in tracking when they are walking in the woods or scouting a hunting territory. You know this if you’ve ever been walking ahead of
a hunting companion who called you out for walking right by such invaluable clues!
Whenever you’re in the woods, get in the habit of detecting the
tracks made by your chosen game. Learn how to recognize male and female hoof or paw prints and as well as their average size. That way, you’ll be able to
tell if you’re following a large male or a young female. Their tracks will also tell you the direction in which the animal is heading, and if they are fresh they will signal you to move stealthily.
Droppings are anoth-er important indication of an animal’s proxim-ity or passage through a territory. Learn to iden-tify the different types of scat and know how fresh it is. Rub marks on trees, paw scrapes
on the ground made by game in rut, as well as broken twigs and hairs caught in branches are all important tracking signs.
The more you walk in the woods, the more aware you will become
of this kind of detail, and the more your hunt-ing skills will improve. Expertise comes with time and concentration, but above all, don’t be afraid to ask for tips from more experienced hunters and trackers.
Rubs, scrapes, broken twigs, or hairs caught in branch-es are all important tracking signs. 648A S. Mackenzie Ave 250-392-4222

Hunting Seasonin the Cariboo Fall 2012
My first wild turkey huntThe very first time
I went turkey hunt-ing was on a beautiful May morning. I was one of the lucky ones whose name had been drawn to participate in an experimental hunt in my area. After completing an on-line course and passing the exam, I was ready for this totally new expe-rience.
I went to the hunt-ing area to do some scouting and work out a strategy. In the field bordering the woods that I have access to, I was lucky enough to spot a group of three females and two males, one of which was huge.I decided that this was definitely the right spot for the next day’s hunt.At that point I was feeling a bit rushed, and so de-spite the experts’ ad-vice to focus on look-ing for a nest in order to hunt in a close circle around them, I decided to come back and hunt there anyway.
I arrived at my hunt-ing site thirty minutes before sunrise. I made my way through the field where I’d seen the birds and entered the woods. I make a few owl calls in order to locate the males, and they immediately re-sponded. Three males were 100 metres from me, still in their nests. The powerful sound of the birds sent a surge of adrenalin through my veins. I quickly set up my two female calls and a juvenile male one and then settled down next to a tree.
I waited a few min-
utes and made a few female calls. A big turkey flew over my calls and landed 20 metres behind me. As I continued the fe-male calls, I saw two males emerge from the woods. The first one, with his throat
and neck fully puffed up, rushed my juvenile male call and hit it. That was much more action than I’d been expecting! I waited a few seconds then lined up my sights on the second male, which was quite a bit big-
ger. I made a small sound so it would lift its head, and I took my
shot. My first turkey hunt was over. What a thrill!

BC’s economy fair, but global economicuncertainty remains a concern
According to the recent BC Business Outlook Survey, ad-ministered by the In-stitute of Chartered Accountants of BC, the majority of B.C.’s CAs rated the current provincial economic climate as either fair or good.
However this opti-mism was tempered by uncertainly around the global economy, and upcoming chang-es to provincial tax policy.
“Most CAs in the province recognize that B.C. has come
out of the recession on better footing than many other jurisdic-tions.” said Richard Rees, FCA, CEO of the Institute of Char-tered Accountants of BC.
“However, on-go-ing uncertainty in the American and Euro-pean markets has the capacity to stall eco-nomic growth,” con-tinued Rees.
“It also remains to be seen how the rein-statement of the PST/GST will impact our economy over the long term.”
The top six issues CAs identified as ei-ther major or moderate challenges to business success were: uncer-tainty with regard to the global, Canadian, and provincial eco-nomic climates, at-tracting and retaining high caliber employ-ees/skilled labour, the ability to raise capital, and housing prices.
The majority of re-spondents also listed the re-engineering of a value added tax sys-tem as the most impor-tant thing the provin-cial government can
do to improve B.C.’s economy, followed by reducing red tape.
Seventy-nine per cent of CAs work-ing in public practice responded that an in-crease in corporate tax rates could impact their clients’ business investment plans, while seventy per cent of those working in industry felt a tax increase could impact their organization’s investment plans.
When asked to rate the B.C. govern-ment’s management of the economy, 5 per
cent of respondents thought they were do-ing an excellent job, 37 per cent rated the government’s perfor-mance as good, 46 per cent rated it as fair, and 12 per cent rated it as poor.
On the current state of B.C.’s economy, 1 per cent of respon-dents rated B.C.’s economy as excellent, 36 per cent as good, 59 per cent as fair, and 5 per cent as poor.
The BC Business Outlook Survey was conducted in August 2012. Six hundred
and twelve CAs com-pleted the survey.
Those who par-ticipated were almost evenly split between industry (49 per cent) and public practice (40 per cent). Half of the respondents worked for companies with more than 50 em-ployees, and just over two-thirds were from the Lower Mainland.
The Institute of Chartered Accoun-tants of British Co-lumbia is the training, governing and regu-latory body of B.C.’s 11,000 members and
just over 1,800 CA students. The Institute carries out its primary mission to protect the public by enforcing the most demanding admission criteria and the highest pro-fessional and ethical standards.
Thanks to the qual-ity and rigour of their education and train-ing, CAs are recog-nized internationally for bringing superior financial expertise, strategic thinking, business insight and leadership to organi-zations.

Reading to children helps to develop literacy skills
ClaireSChreinerSpecial to the Tribune
Why is literacy im-portant for babies and young children?
Being able to learn to read and write is a long process of lan-guage development. Babies’ brains devel-op very rapidly.
So reading and singing to your baby helps the brain to un-derstand words and rhymes. Bright pic-tures and colours in books develop imagi-nation and creativity.
Studies show that children who are read to every day do bet-ter in school because they have better vo-cabulary, language and listening skills.
Cariboo Chilcotin Partners for Literacy promotes reading for young children.
Books for Babies provides every new-born with a bag con-
taining four books and some helpful bro-chures for mom.
The bags are giv-en out by Welcome Wagon, Public Health nurses or the various First Nations health groups.
Williams Lake Ki-wanis Club funds this long-running pro-gram.
The Bright Red Bookshelf program puts bookshelves in public places. Chil-dren can take a book home to read, or share while waiting.
CCPL relies on do-nations of gently used children’s books to keep the bookshelves full. Donated books are cleaned and la-beled by volunteers with the Assisted Community Living programs.
Hundreds of new children’s books are given away at commu-nity events through-out the year at events
such as Family Fest, Children’s Festival and Aboriginal Day in Williams Lake.
In 100 Mile House, books are available at the Teddy Bear Picnic and Fall Fair.
CCPL works with organizations such as Success by Six, Strong Start, Child Development Centre and Women’s Contact Society to give chil-dren books.
Children of all ages enjoy puppets.
CCPL volunteers work with the Wil-liams Lake Public Li-brary and the Summer Reading Club to use puppets to tell stories and poems for groups of children and their parents.
Puppet making workshops were en-joyed by children in the Boitanio Day Camp program this
summer. Children were encouraged to write their own sto-ries to go with their puppets.
Even the residents at Williams Lake Se-nior’s Village enjoy a funny story with pup-pets as hosts.
Cariboo Chilcotin Partners for Literacy believes that books and reading should be a part of every child’s day.

The de�nition of a word can change signi�cantly over time. To put a spin on a Bob Dylan song, “The Meanings they are a Changing!” It seems that the de�nition of “tolerance” has changed signi�cantly in recent years.Today a tolerant person is
understood as someone who is occupies the neutral ground on any topic. They are impartial on all ideas and believe each person must decide truth for themselves. A tolerant person would never judge another’s chosen truth…ever. To the tolerant, all ideas are equally valid and there is no higher social value than for each person to be defended from anyone who would publically disagree with their personal truths. Any person who would question another’s truths is viewed with stunned horror and is quickly labeled as “intolerant.” According to this new of tolerance, I stand before you guilty of the crime of “intolerance,” because I �nd this idea, not only logically inconsistent, but simply stupid to boot!If we look closely, we can see that
“today’s tolerance” assumes two premises or truths. The �rst premise is that, “There is no truth.” This is contradictory. How can someone claim, as an obvious truth, that there is no truth? The second premise
is that, “We ought to tolerate, even accept as valid, every viewpoint.” This second premise is simply naive. How can we seriously say that every view on an issue is equally valid regardless of evidence, history, legality, morality and common sense? Just because someone states an opinion does not make it in any way valid. If I wanted an opinion on astrophysics, I would not hold the views of a Grade 10 science student as equally valid as the views of Stephen Hawking. That would be silly. Tolerance, as it was originally
understood, was NOT applied to IDEAS…all ideas were not assumed
to be created equal. Tolerance was applied to PERSONS. Voltaire stated it most simply and profoundly, “I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.” Classically, a tolerant person was one who viewed all people as equals in value and therefore worthy of having an opinion which should be heard in the public square. A tolerant man does not have to “agree with you” or “be on your side” in order to �ght for your right to hold and express your ideas. Tolerance is not a naïve idea that all
ideas are equally valid, nor is it the absurd claim, that there is no truth. According to Einstein, “…tolerance is not…indifference. Tolerance means to value the right of another person to hold beliefs that you know are absolutely wrong.”Jesus is an example of tolerance.
He showed great love for people with whom he disagreed. Jesus embraced people who society viewed as valueless. His tolerance was never neutral though, he embraced the person while disagreeing with their ideas or life choices. Even today Jesus loves us often in spite of our ideas and choices, all the while calling us to change our ways and embrace a life that pursues truth and love.

Partners for Literacy photo contest deadline Oct. 10The Cariboo
Chilcotin Partners for Literacy photo contest deadline is coming up Wednes-day, Oct. 10.
The contest started Wednesday, Sept.12 and includes three prizes for the three best photos
Have your pictures show us what lit-eracy means to you and have fun, says
spokesperson Melo-dy Newcomb.
There is a prize for the best adult (over 18 years), for a child (under 18 years) and a random third prize.
The photos that were entered in last year’s contest were great. The photos showed big imagina-tion and creativity.
CCPL has decided to make the photo
contest an annual event.
The contest is re-ally simple. You take a picture of someone using his or her lit-eracy skills.
So what are lit-eracy skills. Those are the skills you use when you’re read-ing, writing and us-ing math skills.
This could be a ca-shier at one of Wil-
liam’s Lake stores ringing up your or-der or your friend reading the Williams Lake Tribune news-paper while having their morning coffee, you decide.
Grab your cam-era and start tak-ing pictures of your children, friends, co-workers, and neighbours.
Everyone is en-
couraged to enter. Once you have
your photo email it to melodynewcombe@gmail.com as a full jpeg, meaning you send your photo in its original size.
If you are sending a photograph by regu-lar mail send it to M. Newcombe, P.O. Box 48, 108 Mile Ranch, BC, V0K 2Z0.
All photos will
be published on the CCPL’s website at www.cariboolitera-cy.com.
Some of the photos may be used in a pro-motional calendar that CCPL is work-ing on. All photos will be property of CCPL for promo-tional use.
The photos must identify the person or persons in the photo
and you must submit their (first and last names) left to right.
The person or per-sons in the photo must agree to have his or her name pub-lished.
We look forward to seeing your pho-tos and good luck to everyone.

An all-party com-mittee of the B.C. Legislative Assem-bly will be briefed by experts Oct. 9, 15 and 16 on the status of the 2009 Braid-wood Commission r e c o m m e n d a t i o n s and the latest sci-entific research on TASER use.
The Special Com-mittee to Inquire into the Use of Conduct-ed Energy Weapons and to Audit Selected Police Complaints will also hold public hearings on Oct. 22 and 23 on this first part of its mandate.
“Our starting point will be the extensive recommendations of the Braidwood Com-mission 2009 report,” said committee chair Murray Coell.
“Over the next month, we will con-sult with the public to review how ef-fectively the recom-mendations have been implemented throughout the prov-ince.”
“We will invite in-put from the public and key stakehold-ers to draw up rec-ommendations in the months ahead,” added the commit-
tee’s deputy chair, Kathy Corrigan. “We encourage British Columbians to par-ticipate in this im-portant process.”
British Colum-bians are invited to attend a public hear-ing, send a written submission or submit a video or audio file. To register for a pub-lic hearing, please contact the Parlia-mentary Committees Office by phone (toll free 1 877 428-8337) or by emailing cew@leg.bc.ca
The deadline for public input is Fri-day, Nov. 2, 2012.
Details of the Braidwood Commis-sion’s recommenda-tions are to be found in the report “Re-storing Public Con-fidence: Restricting the Use of Conducted Energy Weapons” by Thomas R. Braid-wood, Q.C. To access this report, as well as other informa-tion on the commit-tee, please visit the committee’s website at: http://www.leg.bc.ca/cew
The public will also have an oppor-tunity to participate when the committee
focuses on the second part of its mandate: to assess the effec-tiveness of the police complaint process by conducting an audit of randomly selected complaints.
The members of the Special Commit-tee to Inquire into the Use of Conducted Energy Weapons and to Audit Selected Po-lice Complaints are:
Murray Coell, MLA (Saanich North and the Islands), chair;
Kathy Corrigan, MLA (Burnaby-Deer Lake), deputy chair;

New Prosperity Gold-Copper Mine Project Federal Review Panel
PUBLIC NOTICEThe Federal Review Panel for the proposed New Prosperity Gold-Copper Mine Project is inviting the public to comment on the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) filed by the proponent, Taseko Mines Limited. The EIS, submitted to the Panel on September 26, 2012, provides an analysis of the potential environmental effects of the proposed project.
The 45-day comment period gives Aboriginal groups, the public, governments and other participants an opportunity to submit their views in writing to the Panel on the sufficiency of the information presented in the EIS and on its technical merit. The EIS Guidelines, issued on March 16, 2012, provide direction to the proponent and identify the information that is required in the EIS.
The purpose of the comment period is to obtain the public’s views on the adequacy of the information provided in the EIS as measured against the EIS Guidelines. Opportunities to present overall views on the project will be provided at the subsequent public hearing.
The Panel will determine if the EIS is sufficient to proceed to public hearing based on its own review and on its review of the comments received from the public. Should the Panel determine the EIS is insufficient, it will request the proponent to address the gaps identified.
The Panel must receive all comments on the EIS in writing by November 11, 2012. All comments will be considered public and posted on the online registry for this project. Forward your written comments in either official language by mail or e-mail to the attention of:

The EIS and the EIS Guidelines, along with more information on this project, are available on the Canadian Environmental Assessment Registry at www.ceaa-acee.gc.ca , registry number 63928. Paper copies of the EIS have been made available by the proponent in locations near the project area. To be kept informed of the progress of the review, provide an e-mail address to the panel manager above.
About the projectThe proponent, Taseko Mines is proposing to develop an open pit gold-copper mine located 125 km southwest of Williams Lake, B.C.

CHIP health programcomes to Williams Lake
CameronJohnston
The Community Health Improvement Program (CHIP) begins in Williams Lake Oct. 21 with volunteer co-directors Dr. Glenn Gill and Chrys Mills, RN.
CHIP is a unique health education pro-gram with proven re-sults in preventing and reversing chronic dis-eases including heart disease and diabetes.
Two free information sessions will be held on Wednesday, Oct. 10 and Monday, Oct. 15 at 7 p.m. at the Cariboo Lifestyle Centre, 26 Woodland Rd.
Everyone is welcome to come and check out this great lifestyle makeover program. Full info online at: www.sil-verhillsontheroad.com/wlchip
It is true. In 30 days CHIP can help you re-duce your risk of heart disease, normalize blood pressure, lower cholesterol and triglyc-erides, stabilize fasting blood sugar, reduce BMI, improve sleep, resilience and depres-sion.
CHIP offers par-ticipants the complete health education they need to make wise diet and lifestyle changes and the help and mo-tivation to stick with them.
Dr. Gill, a local physican and co-direc-
tor says, “it’s easy to tell people they need to make changes in their lifestyle for better health but how to ac-complish that is not so easy. CHIP shows why a lifestyle change may be needed but also gives the motivation and sup-port to continue with healthy changes.”
Dr. Stefan De Swardt, another local physican, first heard about CHIP from a patient attending a program in Quesnel and since then he has had several patients attend there. He says, “CHIP is a great pro-gram. All my patients that have attended have had big reductions in weight and cholesterol. I strongly recommend it.”
“When a person un-derstands how their body works and what the foods that they eat do to their body, they have the education they need to understand not only why they need to make these changes, but how to do it.
With knowledge comes power, and with the power CHIP par-ticipants get from the program, they are able to make the changes necessary and have the support to stick with them,” continues Dr. Gill.
The CHIP program meets three times a week for four weeks with video presentations at each session by the
dynamic speaker and founder of CHIP, Dr. Hans Diehl. Included in the program are before and after blood work and health screenings to help participants see the amazing improve-ment they make in just 30 days!
There will also be healthy food samples each evening, excellent reference materials and a graduation banquet for family and friends.
“I have taken on the role of co-director be-cause I am a believer in the CHIP program,” says Chrys Mills a local nurse. “I know we will see great results here as participants have been seen in communities around the world.”
When you enroll in CHIP, the low materi-als fee of $295 per per-son or $395 per couple includes: a trained fa-cilitator to coach you to better health in 30 days, a helpful team of friend-ly people to teach you skills in cooking and preparing new foods, two health screens, two clinical lifestyle evalu-ations, dynamic health and lifestyle lectures, the CHIP textbook and workbook and other helpful materials plus ongoing support to help you stay on the program for a long healthy life.
We expect CHIP par-ticipants in Williams Lake to experience re-sults similar to those from the thousands of
other places where the program has been. For example, one commu-nity in Washington state saw in participants, a 17% Cholesterol drop with some participants dropping up to 40%, weight losses averaged from 7 to 29 pounds per participant with blood pressure, triglyc-erides, and heart rates also showing dramatic improvement. Plus diabetics showed great improvement in lower-ing insulin with some dropping their need for it completely in just 8 weeks by continuing on the program with guid-ance from their physi-cian.
No drugs, no gim-micks, just straight forward inspiring edu-cation on how to make healthy choices so that you can enjoy a lifetime of better health.
Come to one of two free information ses-sions and check this out. Info sessions will be held on Wednesday, October 10 and Mon-day, October 15 at 7 PM at the Cariboo Life-style Centre, 26 Wood-land Rd. For more info or to register for an info session call 778-412-5279 or email: info@wlchip.ca Full info is online at: www.sil-verhillsontheroad.com/wlchip CHIP is made available by Adventist Health Williams Lake a local non-profit organi-zation.

Glen RichardCarswell
Aug. 15,1945 - Oct. 7, 2011
On the road to wherever the ‘Soul’goes ...
Your Loved Ones
Predeceased by her husband Dene Stephenson (2003)
and her eldest daughter Jeune Domenko (2012). Survived by her children, John, Jackie and Judy and their partners Randy, Lorraine, Robert and Alan. Grandchildren Sean,
Matthew, Jodi, Erin, Janine, Robin, Brian, Daren, Jason
and Jaime-Lee and 18 Great Grandchildren.
Mae grew up on P.E.I. before heading west to Quatsino, B.C. where she raised four children and drove the school bus. Her husband Dene retired in 1991 and they became snowbirds, wintering in Yuma, Arizona and spending their summers in Courtenay, B.C. Mae was a hardy, practical woman who is remembered for her love of animals, cards, games and chocolate as well as her sharp wit, insistence on observing meal times, and her love-hate relationship with boats.
The family would like to thank the nurses and caregivers at Williams Lake Seniors Village.
