New salt-lick for Ungulates? Why

not the family car? This cow moose has been a regular guest in front yards on the north-shore of the lake. Although we are warned to keep a safe distance between us and wildlife, for one north-shore resident it was impossible to ignore the furry, brown creature standing a few feet from the front door. She was licking the running boards

on one side of the car, while her calf was detailing the other,

admits Sheryl. I could have touched her with my hand, she was

that close to the house.

Due to high snowfall levels, moose, deer and fox are seeking out easy feeding areas and have grown comfortable with their human neighbours. While its not unusual to see wildlife along the roads

and in the fields we are always advised to give them their space.

Folks within the village limits are also enjoying wildlife encoun-ters. It doesnt take a professional hunter to observe fresh tracks

in the driveway and see remnants of where a deer has been pruning the cedar.

Touch with your eyes only, is what I warn the grandkids, when introducing them to delicate china, cold surfaces and the fox sleep-ing under the bird feeders. While this advice may sound a bit simplistic, its never wise to challenge an animal that has selected your yard for their grazing and sleeping pleasure.

With the announcement of the suspension of operations on December 10th, Endako Mine has opened a Support Center in the vacant Adult Learning Centre Building at 298 McMillan Avenue.

Progressive Employment has made a commitment to man the center as long as job searches and employment counsel-ling is needed. They are currently open from Tuesday to Friday 9:30 to 4:00 pm daily.

Its been busy, and we will be here as long as necessary,

says Robin Work, Manager of Progressive Employment.

Two employees daily are manning the office to assist with career assessment, resumes, and E.I. applications. Since January 6th, dozens of people have visited the F.L. office and several others have visited the offices in Vanderhoof and Burns Lake which may be closer to home for some former Endako employees who live in those communities. The Job Board is constantly being updated and clients are urged to stop by weekly and check it out.

STOREYLINES

an editorial By Elaine Storey

About lost jobs

A month has passed since the news from the MINE. In typical fashion the BIG news outlets covered the story for 2.7 days. And when they couldnt find

a source of blood, they called off the hounds and set their focus on some po-litical catastrophe, the falling price of crude and tracking Santa across the northern sky.

Yet, back here on the home-front, the elephant held the chair of honour at Christmas Dinner, languished under the tree until the New Year, and blew snot out his trunk when the December round of bills were dumped on the kitchen table.

When the towns biggest employer

announced the work suspension in mid December, everyone was slightly in-volved with the festive season. Talk about the ramifications were more off-hand remarks made in passing. Now with the shortest day of the year tucked away with the Christmas garland, there are beginning to be signs of what this shut down will actually mean.

Normal conversations are difficult to hold. Eyes that once sparkled with en-thusiasm have dulled. Laughter is forced and hangs in the air like a bad smell. There is tension in peoples voic-es and a look of dread for what lies ahead. Yet...no-one is really talking about IT.

So, let me be the first to use this public media to call a spade a spade and say

IT SUCKS TO LOSE YOUR JOB! And it sucks to lose a job you didnt know

you were losing.

In the wake of individual job loss, its natural to internalize the What ifs?,

What if I had worked more overtime as asked? What if I had worked harder? What if I had ploughed deeper? Wrenched tighter? Greased faster?

Individual job loss is tough but group job loss may be tougher. The what ifs

are replaced with Why? Why now? Why didn't I see this coming? Why did they just hire that new guy? Why? Why? Why?

There is shock at hearing the news, anger at losing a paycheque and feelings of denial about the outcomes. Your self worth can plummet and you may feel like youve done something wrong

when you haven't.

In job loss your atta boy takes a kick

in the teeth. Without understanding the process of loss, the experience can lead to a lack of motivation at a time when you need to be your brightest, your keenest, your strongest. You need to be highly motived and confident to search out another employer and sell yourself at their employment desk.

From the BIG announcement to your last day there was hope that things would turn around. That the world market would change overnight (because it can) and life would contin-ue. That you would get up tomorrow morning and plan your workday on the drive up Francois Lake Road.

Now, the drive to work will look dif-

ferent. It will sound different. It may take longer to get there, you may be home less or you may be home more. And in the interim there is a way of life to be mourned. An expectation not delivered. An atta boy not recog-

nized. A lifes work not honoured.

Who will talk about the sound of sever-ance? The smell of separation? The taste of job loss? Will it wear a grimace or a steely grin?

Wheres the tail gate party AFTER the

tail-gate? Who writes up the incident report? What are the expectations? Where is the rest of the crew? Where is the todolist? And who manages it?

There are many studies about job loss, and the cyclical nature of ending a job and Doing what ya gotta do to get

another. Its a step by step process.

There was an avalanche of feelings set in motion on Dec ten. Using a compar-ative analogy, moving forward requires you to lace up, finesse the puck, deke the defenceman and score top shelf.

As a goodwill gesture of support, En-dako has opened an Employee Re-source Centre on-site. They have orga-nized two Job Fairs, brought in their counselling services and have Sun Life financial agents available for one-on-one assistance. They have opened a Support Center downtown where Work BC, CNC, and Service Canada employees can provide computer assis-tance for resumes, E.I. and job coun-selling.


On January 17, 2014, Christopher McGuiney of Fraser Lake, BC was involved in a motor vehicle collision that resulted in injuries to a passenger and the death of another male originally from Fraser Lake, BC and most recently from 105 Mile House, BC.

On December 22, 2014 an information was sworn charging Mr. McGuiney with the following 6 Criminal Code charges:

Dangerous Driving Causing Death Contrary to Section 249 (4) of the Criminal Code

Impaired Driving Causing Death Contrary to Section 255(3) of the Criminal Code

Causing an Accident Resulting in Death Contrary to Section 255(3.1) of the Criminal Code

Dangerous Driving Causing Bodily Harm Contrary to Section 249(3) of the Criminal Code

Impaired Driving Causing Bodily Harm Contrary to Section 255(2) of the Criminal Code

Causing an Accident Resulting in Bodily Harm Contrary to Section 255(2.1) of the Criminal Code

An unendorsed warrant was issued for McGuiney and he was subsequently arrested on December 29, 2014 by Vanderhoof RCMP Traffic members. A Bail hearing was held and McGuiney was released on a $2500 recognizance with a number of conditions, one of which was not to operate or be found in the drivers seat of a motor vehicle.

After two days of meetings with senior advocates and Better at Home project manager Debbie Sharp, its in the works that area sen-iors will soon be receiving more non-medical assistance.

Fraser Lake was named as a Pilot Project to receive United Way funding to help seniors stay in their homes. The project can be cut from the same cloth as other United Way Better at Home Programs where seniors are assisted with home visits, snow removal, light housekeeping, light household repairs, shopping, yard work, and transportation, or we can design a different template.

Over thirty people responded to the invitation to determine local assets and local needs. From those preliminary lists the working group will be tasked with formalizing the Fraser Lake Better at Homes model. And how the local model is shaped will be realized in a formal grant application that will be submitted with similar grants from Fort St James and Vanderhoof.

While this is being called the Fraser Lake Pilot Project, the neighbouring two communities will be in receipt of similar financial as-sistance.

According to the 2011 stats, the three communities and surrounding areas have over 1000 seniors over 65 years of age. While many of those seniors are very self sufficient, others have minor mobility issues that may isolate them or put their overall well being in jeopardy. Once the United Way funding is rolled out in the community, programs will be put in place that can give seniors a better quality of life through assistance with some of the basic needs established by the working group.

More information will be made available in the upcoming months as we work through the planning stages into the formal agreement with United Way. We have been given a great opportunity to design a program that fits our community.

Dec 23rd Family Social & Hockey Game

The fourth Annual Christmas Charity Hockey Game was on December 23.

And once again was a fun and action packed event which drew a large num-ber of participants, both local players as well as alumni who were home for the Christmas holiday.

FL Recreation & FL Girls Midget Hockey Team hosted the event with proceeds of cash donations and non-perishable food items given to Santa's Anonymous. In 2011 they raised $1107 in 2012 -$1512 in 2013 $1680 in 2014 - $2093 plus $2000 from G. Pettie.

In conjunction with the hockey game a childrens Christmas party was held

upstairs in the complex.

This event was funded and organized through a grant by Success by Six, Ear-ly Childhood Development, Children First, Autumn Services and the Village of FL .

The family dance and games started at 4 pm. Once the DJ played the first song, the kids hit the dance floor run-ning. There were kids crafts and prizes and lots of delicious food to enjoy the first time event was a huge success.

The non-alcohol dance that followed the Charity Hockey Game was warmly attended by about 50 hockey players, their friends and families.

The 23rd Homecoming Night is tradi-tionally a right of passage, and in years past has lead to unsafe partying. The intent of the non-alcohol event was to provide a party venue with food and a DJ where the partiers could visit and dance and still travel home safe.

IN THE SHADOW OF THE MOUNTAIN by Doris Ray You know youre old when you take your glasses off to see close up, your dentures out to eat raspberries & hearing aids in to listen to dull speeches! ............................... Last year my husband endured monthly needle injections in his left eye to combat partial blindness from macular degeneration. It was my job to put eye-drops in the affected eye four times a day for a week- to prevent infection. It was a hot summer and windows were wide open. Thinking back, the following utterances made by me could have been misconstrued by neighboring tenants? (Unlike us they have super hearing!) "Did it get in?" "I think I missed." How many times did we do it today - four times or only three? "Okay, we'll do it sitting up." ........................... I must be eye-candy, 'cause for the first time in my life I stopped traffic!!! I stood across the highway from the trail to the lodge looking drop dead gorgeous in my winter boots, coat and hat, when logging trucks coming from both directions put on their brakes and slithered to a halt.... I gave them a bewitching smile of gratitude (who am I kidding -guess they'd noticed the grey hair and ancientness of body...) ................................................... I flattened my "poodle" hair-do (described by friend) with water. Said, "Now it looks like a flattened poodle. Husband inquired "Road kill?" ..................................................... Quote (my sister-in-law) We were discussing how cancer seems more prevalent than it used to be. "Were getting cancer because we're living longer which gives us more time to die of a fatal disease." ............................................ One winter day I was about to pull into a parking spot and spotted our favorite Catholic priest in front of the car. As I tapped the brake, I said to my husband, I dont want to hit Father James. If I ran over a priest that would be doubly awful! That would make me...? A holy roller? he suggested. ........................................ A bit of a bio on Steven Harper's long reign over us was on the News the other night. "He sure has aged," I said to husband. "Not enough," he replied. That last conver-sation is one I consider hilarious, although it may seem less humorous in certain circles. Therefore I will add that I wish our PM to live to a ripe old age... just not in poli-tics!

Cougar taken down

A Francois Lake resident was unaware that a cougar had been frequenting his property. But when a local guide showed up at his door with his cougar hounds ready for work, it didn't take much for the dogs to catch the scent and follow in hot pursuit. The cougar had just hauled down a deer and drug it under an out-building about a half kilometre away.

The cougars tracks were easy to follow in the

fresh snow and there was evidence the cat had been in and out of several yards that morning before taking down his breakfast.

With deer becoming so plentiful, their preda-tor numbers have likewise increased. This 215 lb cat will no longer be a threat to the lake population of deer and humankind.

Job Fair by estorey It was a very comprehensive coming together of workers and employers in Fraser Lake mid January. Almost three hundred workers registered at the front door of the Job Fair on Jan 16th and 17th at the FL Arena. And from all reports, it was agreed that the ef-forts were appreciated. Workers were able to speak with staff from Work BC, Service Canada, Sun Life, United Steelworkers, CNC, and about twenty different job recruit-ers from all sectors of industry.

Reps from several wood operations were on site as well as Rio Tinto Alcan, Northern Gateway, YRB and others. Endako employees are highly sought after, said Terry

Tate of the United Steelworkers Local 1-424.

Rio Tino Alcan reps from Kitimat agreed they were the bright spot in an otherwise grey workforce in northern BC. Construction workers are still being sought at Kitimat, but the camp that once housed 3500 construction workers is beginning to thin down as the job is about 80 % complete.

We are looking for technologists in construction, specifically electrical specialists,

said Bob Prince one of the recruiters at the table. There is still another year and a half

of work for the construction staff but going forward we are in the end stages of con-struction. And from all indications jobs are very secure here.

Theres no gloom and doom here in Kitimat. If there is sunshine in the province in the

job market its here, said both recruiters who made the six hour trip to Fraser Lake to

attend the Job Fair.

West Fraser was taking applications for general labourers but their primary focus was on securing more trades people.

For those who were dropping off resumes and taking phone numbers and asking ques-tions, the Job Fair was an opportunity to make those connections and put some plans in place. To attain a Red Seal Certificate for many industry based jobs, there were indi-viduals planning to challenge certain equipment tests. Getting your resume into the hands of a new employer are the necessary progressive steps to securing a new job.

When organizing the Job Fair, Dane Jones from the Human Resources Dept at Endako opened it to the whole community. They have gone above and beyond what it ex-

pected under these circumstances, said both Terry Tate of USW and Sun Lifes Larry

Truscott who commended the Mine for taking such an active role in recruitment.

MP Nathan Cullen talks Budgets with FLESS students

On Monday, Jan 19th, our NDP Member of Parliament Na-than Cullen visited Fraser Lake. While some of his day was spent with the grownups talking about policies and funding, he also met with FLESS students to discuss some basic parliamen-tary concerns like the budget and the environment.

Mrs Derksons Social Studies 10 and Grade 12 Law classes

were among the 40 students who had the opportunity to meet with the MP. The Law 12 class were studying aspects of the federal budget and had taken a survey about how to assist the feds in spending a 6 million dollar surplus. The students ranked projects in accordance to how they would like to see the government spend the money.

The idea was rich in theory but by the time Cullen visited FLESS, the surplus no longer existed due to the falling price of crude. While a federal surplus had been predicted just a few months ago, Cullen admitted that high spending by Alberta and the global drop in oil prices, had milked the surplus dry.

While oil prices were dropping, Cullen said the government was dolling out money for an income splitting plan that would benefit two income families. There was much lively participa-tion in the classroom and students asked a myriad of tough questions. One student asked - Why are politicians often thought of as liars? Nathan responded with, Its the responsi-

bility of the voters to keep them honest. And he urged stu-

dents to get involved in the process. Grade 12 students from Chemistry class and students from Grade 11 & 12 Manage-ment classes also attended the Q & A.
