Williams Lake City Council recently received the Third Quarter Economic Indicators Report. The report contains economic statistics from the City of Williams Lake (such as building permits and business licenses), the provincial and federal governments (unemployment rate) and the Northern BC Real Estate Board (average house price and properties sold), the city said in a press release. It provides a snapshot of the first three quarters of 2012, compared to the first three quarters of previous years. The report gives an “at a glance” look at some of the economic indicators in the community, in addition to an update on the Business Expansion and Attraction Strategy (BEAS) implementation. The report shows:
An increase in home construction, to 21 valued at $4.6 million so far in 2012, from 16 valued at $2.6 million during the first nine months of 2011. An increase in business licenses issued, up to 96 so far in 2012, compared to 71 in 2011. An increase in the number of airport passengers: 26,112 so far in 2012, compared to 23,754 during the first three quarters of 2011. The average selling price of a single family residential home has increased to $255,753 in September 2012, up from $235,212 in September 2011. So far this year, the City has received $1.46 million in grants from senior governments as a direct result of good partnerships. Williams Lake has worked with the Northern Development Initia-
tive Trust to establish a regional investment portal for the Cariboo Chilcotin Coast region. We will have the ability to post opportunities and development profiles on the new website and outline Williams Lake specific data. To build on the provincial and regional web marketing projects the economic development department will also establish a Williams Lake investment site by year’s end. The site will focus on investment attraction, be a resource for those interested in or already doing business in the city, as well as serving as a tool for skilled worker attraction. Local businesses and developers are encouraged to contact the City to get their opportunities included in these marketing initiatives. Over the summer and into Sep-

tember, local input has been gathered to confirm what the community thinks our City’s competitive assets are to attract businesses, workers and new residents. The Taiji Brand Group has conducted local interviews with people in a variety of sectors and utilized the results of City planning and community consultations from the past few years to profile target markets. The creative and design work is now underway and draft results will be reviewed by the project advisory committee in the next few weeks. As with all economic development projects, local businesses and residents are encouraged to contact the City or utilize the project website (www.mywilliamslake.placebrand.ca) to provide their thoughts or ask questions.

News Follow U.S. lead on pot, MLA says
Tom Fletcher Black Press B.C. political leaders should stop pointing fingers at Ottawa and follow the lead of U.S. states on marijuana legalization, VancouverFraserview MLA Kash Heed says. A former B.C. public safety minister and commanding officer of the Vancouver Police drug and gang units, Heed spoke out as voters in Washington, Oregon and Colorado prepared to vote Tuesday on initiatives to regulate and tax the sale of marijuana for adults. Heed said Premier Christy Clark and NDP leader Adrian Dix have no difficulty speaking out about federally regulated interprovincial pipelines, but both defer to the federal jurisdiction on marijuana law. Action is needed to address the gang violence that goes along with
the marijuana trade, he said. “There’s a lot of hypocrisy going around Victoria right now,” Heed said in an interview. “They’re speaking out of both sides of their mouths on different issues.” Both Clark and Dix have admitted to trying marijuana in their younger days, but both have indicated this year that they don’t plan to push for legalization. Dix said last week he has long advocated decriminalization, which would reduce simple possession to a ticket offence. He said Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s measure to require jail time for growing more than six plants is the wrong direction, but B.C. can’t consider regulating and taxing sale until federal law allows it. A new Angus Reid poll commissioned by a pro-legalization group

called Stop the Violence B.C. shows support for legalization is up to 75 per cent. That’s up six per cent from last year, and Heed has joined former attorneys general, doctors, police officers and others who have called for action. Heed said the same arguments were used when he joined the push for a supervised injection site in Vancouver. Provincial and local governments lobbied the federal government to allow pilot projects for the INSITE clinic,

and provided funding as well, he said. Heed said he has studied the results of 17 U.S. states that allow medical marijuana exemptions and 14 others that have tried decriminalization. “The problem with that is there’s still a black market in the production and distribution of marijuana,” he said. “And if you don’t get rid of that black market, the gangsters are still going to be involved in it, and we’ll still have the violence on our streets.”

Williams Lake Weekend Friday, November 9, 2012
What a wild week weather wise. It’s been snowing pretty much nonstop for almost two weeks in our neck of the woods; this after almost five months of drought. Moisture starved as we are, people seemed to be unusually cheerful about receiving a couple feet of snow in a month that normally holds our most gorgeous fall weather. Having crossed from October to November with snow continuing to fall as rapidly as the temperatures, there’s no denying winter is here. But obviously we have little to complain about. Not only are we desperate for precipitation in whatever form it falls, but our weather feels like a paid vacation compared to earthquakes and hurricanes. When the earth-
NEWS Fault lines
quake hit off the shores of Haida Gwaii on October 27th we were at a family gathering. We were all sitting around the kitchen table playing password when just after 8 p.m. pm the light over the table started swinging back and forth. Both my sister and I have children living on the west coast. We looked at the light and then at each other, knowing what the other was thinking but both slow to give voice to it. We’re about half an hour from the Alberta border so pretty far inland. And all the fracking activity in our area causes lots of small earthquakes, so we chalked it up to that. Turns out our first instincts were right. Sort of. Thankfully no one was hurt, though the loss of the hot spring
on Hotspring Island was a shocking and sad outcome. A couple days ago I overheard a conversation between two people in the mall. They were discussing the earthquake when one said to the other, “Well, if they’re stupid enough to live there what do they expect?” Ironically, when I was in Vancouver I once overheard similar sentiments expressed about us. “They’re always complaining about all the oil and gas activity and the damming of their rivers,” one fellow said in exasperation. “But they don’t need to be living up there. No one needs to live that far north.” Both sentiments were like a punch to my eavesdropping gut, but I doubt either one really meant it. What we don’t un-

derstand we tend to fear and fear so often expresses itself as judgement. It’s our fallible way of making sense of things or of distancing ourselves from disturbing situations. But that still doesn’t make it right. Thankfully the vast majority of people have nothing but empathy and compassion for anyone caught in the elements, whether it’s an earthquake, the frozen north or Hurricane Sandy. We all have to live somewhere and there’s nowhere that
doesn’t come with its own set of risks. Pick your poison... pollution or tsunamis, hypothermia or desert heat, hurricanes or earthquakes, snake bites or gang attacks. The “Big One” could happen today or it could happen a century from now. Hurricanes can blow themselves out before hitting land, or they can wreak heartbreaking devastation. Winter could come to the frozen north or it could...wait a minute. When you think about it, there’s no “if” to our winters. Temperatures will plummet, snow will fall and roads will drift. Every year on average 80 Canadians will die from over exposure to the cold, not to mention accidents caused by ice, drifting snow or poor visibility. Pending climate
AN APPLE A DAY...
The best way of ensuring you reach your weight-loss goals is to keep a food journal. It’s really difficult to make changes in your diet if you aren’t keeping track of what you are eating. Two other hints about losing weight are: don’t skip meals and try not to eat our for lunch more than once per week. Health Canada’s website (healthcanada.gc.ca) has a section on Advisories and Warnings. This contains previously issued advisory, warning and recall notices about medications and herbals as well as interesting topics like microwave safety, handling fresh produce and using reusable grocery bags. Quite interesting!
change, it will happen this year, next year and the year after that one too. And yet we live here anyway; for the same reasons people live anywhere. And what a wonderful thing it is that we all embrace different landscapes! What if we all wanted to live in the exact same kind of climate? Things would get a tad crowded in a hurry. Instead of passing judgement, we should be grateful others embrace life in places we think we would never chance to live. Family, familiarity and jobs factor into choosing our home, but for me it’s so much more. It’s the big skies, northern lights and orange soaked sunsets. It’s the moose bunting on our window pane, the creak of a raven’s wing over-
head and the flash of fox fur in the field. It’s even the bears. It’s the sparkling snowscapes, cobalt skies and lemon leafed aspens. It’s even the forty below. It’s the snow melt, gumbo boots and the first green flush of spring. It’s even the snowstorms in May. It’s the summer sun pulling 20 hour stints, bees humming and the smell of fresh cut hay. It’s even the droughts. This is the home I’ve chose. And should I succumb to the cold I hope no one says I deserved it for choosing to live so far north, but they probably will.

Pharmacists often hear the complaint, “My cold just won’t go away. I’ve had it for a month!” Colds generally last for 7-14 days. So if it lasts longer, you may have a secondary infection happening. It could be sinusitis, an ear infection or even a lung condition. See your doctor to be sure. World Diabetes Day is on November 14. The slogan for this year’s campaign is Diabetes: Protect Our Future. The main message of this campaign is to highlight the fact that the way we live is putting our health at risk. Also, access to essential education about diabetes is available for everyone. It’s as near as our pharmacy.

Remembrance wall created Canadians are sharing the memory of their loved ones who served Canada through a new Remembrance Day initiative to be launched as part of the National Remembrance Day Ceremony. The Virtual Wall of Honour & Remembrance will be displayed on large video screens at the National War Memorial prior to the start of the actual ceremony on November 11. To launch this unique Remembrance activity The Royal Canadian Legion and Canadian Singer-Songwriter Terry Kelly are collaborating for the first time. The Virtual Wall is a way for Canadians to honour their relatives and friends who have served our great country. Canadians were invited to forward a photograph of a deceased Veteran to the Legion’s Dominion Command along with his or
her name, years of service, element, or regiment/unit. These images are being transformed into a dramatic presentation to be accompanied by a live and moving performance by Terry Kelly at the National War Memorial prior to the commencement of the Ceremony. When Terry performs “A Pittance of Time” this year at the National War Memorial, he will be joined by The Ottawa Children’s Choir, under the direction of Jackie Hawley. This iconic song now circles the globe annually as we lead into Remembrance Day. “Portraits of Honour”, the debut single from Terry’s new recording, “Always There”, a song written to further commemorate the lives of our Veterans and acknowledge the stories, pain and pride of their loved ones will also be performed.

It is sad to think that there are no known veterans remaining from the Great War. The last Canadian Veteran John Babcock died February 18, 2010. I am of the age who remembers watching the veterans proudly marching down the streets showing their pride some forty plus years after the war. With grateful hearts we stood side by side in our classroom recited In Flanders Field and were told of the sacrifices made. I pray that the memories of those men and women will be kept so that the next generation will be enriched by the heritage left by those veterans. Today there many families remembering the sacrifice of over 150 Canadians who gave their lives in Afghanistan and there have been over 1000 lives lost in service to our country since the Korean War. As Canadians we must give thanks to those who stood on the frontline so we did not have to. They gave us the opportunity to live a life where we can walk freely without fear or worry or in terror. We can voice our opinion and

BY Captain Randy remain free. John 15:12-14 12 My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. 13 Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. Jesus loved mankind so much that He laid down his life for His friends; those who obey His commands.(NIV) The opportunity to become His friend is given to the whole world, John 3:16, 17 16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and
only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. (NIV) Christ died for us so that we may lay hold of these promises : In Revelation 7:9, 16 … I looked, and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the throne and before the Lamb. They were wearing white robes and were holding palm branches in their hands … 16 ‘Never again will they hunger; never again will they thirst. The sun will not beat down on them,’ nor any scorching heat. 17 For the Lamb at the center of the throne will be their shepherd; ‘he will lead them to springs of living water.’ ‘And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes. This Remembrance Day take the time to recognize how good our way of living is. Then thank those who gave their lives so we can enjoy it. Then look at what Jesus has done and go that step further become a friend of Jesus.

Folk singer Craig Cardiff in concert Juno nominated Canadian folk singer/songwriter Craig Cardiff will be in concert tonight, Friday evening at the Limelight Theatre on Oliver Street. Cardiff will be performing with special guest and local songwriter Oren Barter. Armed with sardonic sincerity and polished awkwardness, Cardiff’s performances are described as a mix of story and song. Cardiff’s 2012 album Floods and Fires received a Juno Award nomination for Roots and Traditional Album Of The Year: Solo (2012) Cardiff has released 11 albums in 10 years. Originally from Waterloo, Ontario, Cardiff’s voice has been described as ‘warm, scratched, sad and sleepy’ and his songs as landscapes that expose the human condition, putting magnifying glasses to the clumsier and less proud moments, according to one biography.

The real smart meter manipulation
B.C. VIEWS TOM FLETCHER
Two very different scenes unfolded at opposite ends of the province last week. In the remote northwest corner of B.C., the first power line towers started going up to connect Highway 37 communities to the BC Hydro grid. The Nisga’a, Tahltan and other aboriginal communities will soon have reliable power, as well as much-needed training and jobs during clearing and construction. Meanwhile down on the Gulf Islands, the most hysterical, dishonest campaign against smart meters I’ve heard of so far went into high gear. I’ve obtained a mass email from the head antismart meter organizer on Salt Spring Island that shows the mentality at work here. (Corix is the BC Hydro contractor that has installed more than a million meters and has approached the Gulf Islands with trepidation, the last area of B.C. to be done.) “Corix is attacking with 30 trucks on Mon the 22nd,” Chris Anderson wrote in October. “Poelpe [sic] are advised NOT to attend the Victoria pipeline rally but instead help defend agianst [sic] spymeter installations in their neighbourhoods.” Anderson’s self-appointed supporters fanned out across the island, attempting to turn away installers on the false assumption that everyone has fallen for their
crackpot fear campaign. They managed to stop 12 per cent of the installations. Coincidentally, Anderson has been doing a brisk business selling $35 meter locks to gullible Salt Spring Islanders in recent months. They don’t work, and you’re not allowed to lock BC Hydro property anyway. Others have been sold official-looking “no smart meter” signs that don’t identify the customer, so they don’t work either. As for the term “spymeter,” I’ve reported on the weird theories spread by Bill Vander Zalm in a video interview, where he claims smart meters are part of a global surveillance system that can even tell what
you’re cooking. Vander Zalm has been outdone by one Brian Thiesen, who styles himself as the “chairman” of “Interior Smart Meter Awareness.” In September, the Merritt Herald reported on Thiesen’s presentation to 20 unwary people in a church basement. He claimed wireless meters not only provide video surveillance of your house, they are also responsible for “dying bees” and “defective sperm and eggs” as well as disease and fires. Thiesen even claimed radiofrequency signals can “pull your PIN number directly out of your head.” Is there no limit to the nonsense some people will fall
for? Surrey Fire Chief Len Garis co-authored a study that shows residential fires have decreased with the advent of smart meters. Which brings me to the ugliest opposition to this modernization, the criminal element. Here in North America’s marijuana mecca, installers have encountered many meter bypasses, wired up to steal hydro and conceal high consumption for grow ops. In addition to being illegal, they are a fire hazard that is removed when discovered. Installers also find more sophisticated cases of hydro theft. Removing the mechanical meter reveals a hole cut in the back of the
case, so the dials can be turned back to hide a grow op’s power consumption. No wonder some people want to lock them down. Of course all of this is defeated by a smart grid system, so the growers and other crooks are angry. A BC Hydro official told me about one case where a user was told he had a bypass, and that it was being removed. His bill went from next to nothing to a reasonable level. The customer complained to the media, falsely inflating the amount of his bill and blaming an inaccurate smart meter. Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press

Where to go, what to do. A Skull in Connemara kicks off live theatre season
Michael Rawluk has an intense moment with Cody Slinn in rehearsal for A Skull in Connemara. Sheryl-Lynn Lewis photo
Cariboo Chilcotin Elder College
In a flyspeck of a town in Ireland’s fabled West, four lonely, loveable misfits dig for the truth— and get so much more. Such is the scenario for the Studio Theatre’s first play of the new season A Skull in Connemara by Martin McDonagh, opened Wednesday evening at the Studio Theatre in Glendale elementary school. This sidesplitting yarn conjures a macabre mystery packed with merriment, mayhem, and might-be murder that is as full of twists as a shillelagh and as haunting as a whistle in a graveyard. Directed by Curt Sprickerhoff, the cast includes Michael Rawluk as Mick Dowd, Sandi Alaric as Maryjohnny Rafferty, Cody Slinn as Mairtin Hanlon, and Alex Pinette as Thomas Hanlon. The play runs Nov. 7 to 10 and Nov. 14 to 17 starting at 8 p.m. each
evening. Tickets are available at About Face Photography and the Open Book.
The Directors of Elder College invite you to attend our AGM. Elder College is a volunteer organization formed to provide interesting and enjoyable learning experiences for older adults in Williams Lake and area. This is an important meeting as the future of our Elder College is a discussion item. Volunteers are needed to serve in many capacities.

Two trebuchets, built and donated by Germik Industries Ltd., fired off more than 100 pumpkins — the longest flying 260 feet. The estimated highest toss was higher than 60 feet. More than 100 people came by to either spectate or help hold the lines. Greg Sabatino photo

Nesika students raise funds for CDC Grade 2 students at Nesika Elementary School donated $402.01 to the Child Development Centre in June. The students were inspired to raise the funds after attending the Rick Hansen 25th anniversary presentation at Columneetza secondary earlier in the spring. “We returned to our Grade 2 classroom inspired,” says Grade 2 teacher Leah Moe. “The class brainstormed ways to show we cared and could contribute to the school and the community of Williams Lake.” She says learning outcomes from several subject areas were addressed during the planning and execution of three activities which included a sale of baked goods, used toys and beaded crafts, a school

ground clean-up and a visit to the Seniors’ Village. “The students made bracelets and key chains, counted money, wrote thank you letters, picked up garbage, and played games with seniors,” Moe says. “Our
final task was the class presentation of a cheque to the Child Development Centre. “The students are very proud of their accomplishments and I believe the most valuable and lasting lesson occurred in the area of
social responsibility.” With support from home and school, students have learned that their help is both needed and welcomed, Moe says. “We all can make a difference.”

French book launch tonight BY MONICA LAMB-YORSKI Describing Williams Lake author Diana French’s newest book as a “Women of the Cariboo Chilcotin Guide for Dummies” is not a stretch. Newcomers to the region have their homework done for them and upcoming generations will be able to appreciate the amazing lives and accomplishments of their foremothers. Last month Caitlin Press issued Women of Brave Mettle, More Stories from the Cariboo Chilcotin, the second volume on “extraordinary women.” Similar to volume one, Gumption and Grit, which French wrote the forward for, the book is filled with inspiring stories of women who have helped carve the region’s history. “The point of the books has been to tell the stories of women,” French said. “You hear so much about the men. The men are men and the women are proud of it. You have the macho cowboy, logger, or miner, but people forget about the women. They are very much there and a lot of the guys would not have survived without them.” Broken down into sections, the book has placed each woman’s story under one of six categories: Gone But Not Forgotten, Women of Distinction, Making the Mark, Mothers and Daughters, Politician’s Wives, and The Ladies of the Tribune. She began gathering the stories three years ago. Part way through the project, her husband, Bob, passed away at Christmas time 2010, which she admitted “slowed her down a bit.” The book’s front cov-
Diana French with her new book. er displays three historical photos of women featured in the stories. “I didn’t pick the photos, the publisher did, but they explain quite a bit about the book,” French said. The first one is Sonia Cornwall who came to the Cariboo in the early days in a Cadillac. The middle one is Marta Deak, originally from Hungary, settled in the Cariboo with her husband in 1979. The third one is Joan Palmanteir Gentles, strong advocate and role model for First Nations. She’s riding a steer on the rodeo circuit. “It gives you an
idea of the diversity. I thought the publisher’s choices were interesting,” French said. “I was trying to emphasize the diversity. I tend not to be gushy, but with Marilyn Baptiste, for instance, she’s done such incredible things.
People really rise to the occasion.” Sitting in the board room at the Williams Lake Tribune where she worked as a reporter and editor, French credited an all-women writing workshop at the University of British Columbia with helping her get out of the writing gear as a reporter and into a more creative mode. French said she doesn’t automatically write creatively, but has to think about it. “When you’re reporting, you’re sort of eliminating any creativity out of it, so the workshop really helped. I went to that for two summers and it was all women. It’s easier now.”

FINANCIAL LITERACY
She doesn’t have a particular time of day she likes to write, but writes when she has time. “I think I’ve mellowed,” she added. “I used to be more critical, harder, I think.” French said the hardest thing about writing the book was choosing which women to feature. “I just couldn’t squish any more in.” A book launch for Women of Brave Mettle takes place Nov. 9 at the Williams Lake Library at 7 p.m. Admission is free.
With a tightening lending market, now more than ever, the expert advice of an experienced, independent mortgage broker is crucial.

TRU offers truck driver training Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer Job seekers are in luck when it comes to the commercial road transportation industry in British Columbia. Trucking companies throughout B.C. require professional drivers, mechanics, dispatchers and operations staff, which means that job seekers with experience and/or training may find work within their preferred region. For those considering training prior to joining the workforce, demand for skilled workers in the industry is likely to grow – to 2020 and beyond. In Williams Lake Beeline Courier employs 10 drivers, a mechanic, and two office staff. Serving Bella Coola, Horsefly, Likely, Quesnel, 100 Mile House, and the Williams Lake area, Beeline has been
carrying freight for over 70 decades. The company got started as Huston Agencies in March 1941 by Claude Huston, present owner Brad Huston’s grandfather. Brad’s father Ken Huston took it over when Claude retired, and still works there today. “In the beginning my grandfather was just an agent for beer,” Brad recalls. These days the company hauls general freight, anywhere from big industrial equipment, groceries, lawn mowers, snowblowers, and during the fire season they transport jet fuel for the Cariboo Fire Centre to different caches located across the region. They’re still hauling beer too, Brad adds. Beeline has all the drivers it presently needs, and has employed the same staff members for several years; how-
ever, Brad says he’s always keeping his eyes open because like other companies in the industry, Beeline will be facing a shortage. In North America most drivers are presently 45 years of age or older and nearing retirement, and in Canada, according to a report by the Canada Trucking Human Resources Council, 58 percent of long-haul truck drivers fall in this age range. Similar shortages exist for other jobs, including diesel engine and heavy duty mechanics. “You definitely see that coming,” Brad says, adding his company doesn’t do long hauls, except to Bella Coola and the driver on that route is “pretty young.” Driver Mike Colton, raised in Williams Lake, is in his mid-20s. He drives to Bella Coola and back a couple of times a week, and has told Brad he loves driv-
ing the famous “hill.” “I was asking him if he thought there might be some snow out there, and he said, ‘I hope so’, he loves those crazy conditions and that drive. It’s definitely not for everybody, but for him it’s perfect,” Brad says. Brad changed the business to Beeline Courier in March 2011, and expanded to include electronics recycling. They also do spray inbox liners for pickup trucks. For people wanting to to enter the industry but need training, there are also many avenues to explore. In Williams Lake Thompson Rivers University currently has eight participants registered in its new log truck driver training course based in Williams Lake. Betty Turatus, TRU North’s community co-ordinator, says the students are in varying
stages of their training. Some are in Phase 1 while a few are in Phase 2 and one student is in Phase 3. The log truck driving program is funded through the Labour Market Agreement. The funding is shared between Kamloops and Williams Lake campuses. Turatus says the Williams Lake/100 Mile House area has a total intake of 16 participants at a time. Potential students must first meet with Turatus to determine if they are eligible for the program under the Labour Market Agreement criteria. In Williams Lake this portion of the program is taught by Jim Henderson, owner and instructor with Safety First Driving School. “I am the only truck driving school in Williams Lake so I appreciate TRU keeping it lo-
cal,” Henderson says. “It’s a great program. Betty has organized it very well.” Henderson has been driving a truck for more than 20 years and has been a Class 1 instructor providing training for taxi drivers, ambulance drivers and large semitrucks for the past four years. “I have taught well over 100 students and they are all doing very well,” Henderson says. Phase 3 is the log truck mentorship portion of the program. “The mentorship component is what makes this program unique,” Turatus says. “The participants spend approximately 160 hours in a logging truck with experienced drivers learning and gathering experience. “In the end it is a winwin as the participant receives experience and the companies/mentors will have much needed
drivers. It’s a great program and it’s success is dependent on the support we are receiving from Tolko and West Fraser, and especially the local contractors who are willing to be mentors such as Bruce Combs, San Jose Logging, J. Russell Trucking, and Eldorado just to name a few,” Taratus says. People joining the industry have many career choices. Drivers, for example, may work close to home as pick-up and delivery or short-haul drivers. Those who like the idea of travelling across Canada or North America can become long-haul drivers for an employer or work as owner-operators. Drivers may haul consumer goods, fuel, logs, heavyduty equipment, livestock – most of what we purchase or consume spent some time on the road with a commercial truck!

Madchild at the OV Friday
Juno Award winning hip hop artist Shane Bunting a.k.a. Madchild from the Vancouver group Swollen Members is scheduled to perform at the Ramada, Overlander Pub in Williams Lake tonight Friday, Nov. 9 Bunting is touring with his debut solo album Dope Sick which debuted at number 2 on the Canadian charts. Not only is the album a story of triumph over adversity, but it has allowed Bunting to be reborn creatively, says James Wright of Kerosene Media. Dope Sick was inspired by Buntings battle with addiction to the drug oxycontin, a synthetic substance similar to heroin and offers fans an open look at the cold realities of drug abuse. Unshackled from the chains of his past indiscretions, he has confronted his darkest demons and used them as a source of inspiration to create one of the most insanely captivating hip-hop albums of 2012, says Wright “It’s the hardest thing I ever did in my life,” Bunting says of that first night in detox. “There are no words to describe the torture you go through. It is very painful.” Bunting says he is enjoying life today as it should be lived, drug free and with a clear

A multi-gabled roof and a second-story sundeck that doubles as shelter for the entranceway lend character to this spacious three-bedroom-plus-den family home and make it an asset to any neighbourhood. The ground-floor entry leads into a compact foyer with a coat closet. The den, which could easily serve as a home office, is to the right and overlooks a covered veranda. Directly ahead are the stairs to the second floor, where an open-plan kitchen/dining room/great room has been designed both for easy entertaining and casual family living. The great room, with access to the small deck over the entranceway, features a vaulted ceiling and an optional built-in entertainment unit, as well as a fireplace. The dining area, with access to a sundeck that overlooks the back garden, is separated from the kitchen by a hexagonal prep island and eating bar. An optional builtin buffet is included in the plans. In the kitchen, a U-shaped counter configuration makes for efficiency, and the open plan allows the cook to keep in touch with family activities or guests. A pantry provides extra storage. The master bedroom, which also enjoys access to the small front sundeck, includes a generous walk-in closet. The en suite has both a soaker tub and a separate shower stall. The second and third bedrooms share a three-piece bathroom. A linen closet is conveniently situated nearby.
Downstairs, there’s room for a future rec room with a roughed-in wet bar, as well as a bathroom and two more bedrooms. The laundry room is here, as well as a storage/utility room with access to the double garage. Exterior finishes include wood siding, cedar shingles and painted trim, with vertical siding under the gables. Windows are partially mullioned. The home measures 40 feet wide and 45 feet, six inches deep, totalling 1,396 square feet of living space, including an unfinished basement. Plans for design 2-3-723 are available for $567 (set of 5), $636 (set of 8) and $675 for a super set of 10. Also add $30.00 for Priority charges within B.C. or $55.00 outside of B.C. Please add 12% H.S.T., 13% H.S.T. Or 5% G.S.T (where applicable) to both the plan price and Priority charges.
