Hopes, concerns expressed at pool meeting Cameron Ginn Omineca Express The pool committee held open houses in Vanderhoof and Cluculz Lake last week to discuss the value of building a $12-million aquatic facility here. The meetings were also organized to provide information to the community ahead of the pool referendum on Feb. 16, 2013, when electors will decide whether the municipality can borrow $4-million to put towards building the aquatic facility. “Today we’ve just got the information,” said Councillor Steve Little, chair of the committee. “We’re not here to convince you how to vote, but we think with the right information, the community will vote yes.” Almsot 130 people attended the open house at the Nechako Senior Friendship Centre in Vanderhoof, where the committee responded to questions from members of the community, many of whom shared concerns about costs. “The crucial information, in the end, is what is it going to cost,” said Monty Holding, senior associate of Professional Environmental Recreation Consultants Ltd (PERC). In August 2010, the pool committee retained PERC to prepare a $37,000 feasibility study related to the construction and operation of an aquatic facility in Vanderhoof. The study, which will be made available on the pool committee’s website, Vanderhoofpool.ca, reviews in comprehensive detail the budgetary expenditures of pool facilities in communities with populations similar to Vanderhoof. Although the study contains a wealth of information, Holding said it won’t be accessed by the majority of electors in the community, about 2,960. “Many people won’t take the trouble to go and get the information,” he said. “That’s the purpose of tonight.” Erling and Alice Clemmensen, who have lived in Vanderhoof since 1964, attended the open house to understand how an aquatic facility would affect tax rates. “We’re on a fixed income,” he said. “If it’s going to change, we don’t want it to chase us out of our home.” When Vanderhoof held a pool referendum 15 years ago, the couple enrolled in swimming lessons in Prince George with hopes that the community would vote in favor of the aquatic facility. But the referendum didn’t pass. Continued on page 3

Unionized support staff held a strike outside the College of New Caledonia campus in Vanderhoof on Wednesday, Nov. 21, shuttering services for a second straight day. Cameron Ginn/Omineca Express

Strike shutters CNC services Cameron Ginn Omineca Express An abrupt two-day strike by unionized support staff at campuses of the College of New Caledonia (CNC) left thousands of students without classes last week. After failing to reach a collective agreement on a two-per-cent wage increase with the CNC earlier this month, the support staff, who belong to the CUPE Local 4951 labor union, decided suddenly to hold a strike. "The college was unable to meet their money demands at that time and therefore talks broke off," said Randall Heidt, director of communications and development for the CNC.

Lily Bachand, president of CUPE 4951, said the provincial government recently approved a two-per-cent wage increase for operational staff at universities across the province. "The problem that we're facing is that the government is treating postsecondary sectors differently, each one of them," said Bachand. "What we're saying is just give us the two per cent." The strike, the first by CNC support staff since 1984, began on Tuesday and lasted until Wednesday evening when the the Post-Secondary Employers' Association (PSEA) - the bargaining agent for all public colleges, special-purpose teaching universities and institutes in B.C. since Feb. 4, 2004 - released a statement saying they were ready to negotiate.

"We are prepared to come back to the table with a reasonable offer, but unions in this sector need to be willing to stretch if they want to meet the expectations of their members," the PSEA said in the Nov. 21 statement. "We encourage the union to consider avoiding any actions that may impact student learning." With some exams set to take place next month, the strike comes at a sensitive time for faculty and students. "If we were to pick this time, we would have never have picked this item for that reason," said Bachand. "It's an opportune time if you're trying to prove a point, but it isn't our intent to do it on the back of the students. But the provincial government has made it that way, so we have nowhere to go."

Prairiedale talks to begin on Feb. 4 Cameron Ginn Omineca Express Talks on the potential closure, renovation or amalgamation of Prairiedale Elementary School will begin on Feb. 4, 2013, the Nechako Lakes District School Board announced last week. A location has yet to be determined, but public consultations will last for at least 60 days, the board said at a Nov. 19 meeting in Vanderhoof. Before talks begin, the board is directing senior staff to produce an updated engineering report on the structural integrity of Prairiedale School, said Chair Rosalie Nichiporuk. "It will be the first thing anybody needs to make any plans or decisions," she said. The board has known about the school's deteriorating condition for about eight to 10 years. A 2008 engineering report on Prairiedale's

structural integrity revealed numerous problems, including drainage and foundation issues. Facing a $3.5-million budget shortfall at the time, the Nechako Lakes School District 91 chose to invest in building maintenance rather than major repairs, explained Nichiporuk. In October 2012, the PAC appointed the Save Prairiedale Committee, a group of parents and

former students who are passionate about keeping the elementary school operational. The committee is concerned that the school may be closed for financial reasons. "Here's the truth of the matter: if the school was proved unfit for our children to go to, there's not a single member of that PAC who would send their child there," said Rae.

In the past, Rae said the board denied the PAC's request for information on the school's condition. "We want to know what the school board knows about the state of the building," said Rae. "We just want an open, fair discussion and to understand why decisions are being made, what decisions are being based on and what the alternatives are."

Jumbo Glacier resort approved

The B.C. Government approved the incorporation of Jumbo Glacier as a mountain resort municipality on Tuesday, Nov. 20. “Now that the environmental assessment has been completed, and municipality incorporated, the project proponents finally have the green light to go ahead and put the funding in place," said John Winter, president and chief executive officer of the B.C. Chamber of Commerce. A municipal council and interim corporate officer have been appointed to serve until the first council meeting of the new municipality. Jumbo’s first mayor and councillors are Greg Deck, Nancy Hugunin and Steve Ostrander. The proposed year round ski resort is located at the foot of Jumbo Mountain and Jumbo Glacier, 55 kilometers west of Invermere. The B.C. Chamber of Commerce believes the resort will further strengthen the province as a worldclass destination and substantially expand tourism revenue in the Columbia Valley.

“We’re not going to take swimming lessons again unless this one goes through,” said Clemmensen, a tradesmen who retired in 2001 at the age of 63. If electors approve the $4-million loan at the referendum, the town would make principle and interest payments of approximately $275,000 per month for 30 years, explained Tom Clement, deputy administrator and director of corporate services for the District of Vanderhoof. Earlier this month, the pool committee pointed out that construction of an aquatic facility would cause

tax rates to rise $612 for major industries, $452.28 for light industries, $86.81 for homeowners and $263.04 for businesses for every $100,000 of assessments. If a pool is built, the district would create a contingency fund to help stabilize the tax rate over the long term and prevent it from rising further, said Little. “Our hope is that we can maintain the level after the increase,” he said. Barb Mazereeuw attended the open house in Vanderhoof with her 15-year-old son, Lane. Although Barb said the health benefits of the aquatic facility are innumerable, she wondered about the

tax implications, even after learning that the district was on track to paying off two existing loans in the next three years. “Vanderhoof already has high taxes,” she said. “I think it’s going to be a hard sell.” Lane, a student at Nechako Valley Secondary School, one of the only teenagers who were present at the open house, remains hopeful that an aquatic facility with a weighttraining room would be built in Vanderhoof. “I would go all the time,” he said. Lane described a pool as a source of wellness for people of all ages that

would prevent drownings and create a more active community. “To walk down the street and go to swimming lessons, I think that would have a huge effect,” he said. Barb agreed, citing an unacceptable number of drownings in the region. “How can you put a price on that,” she said. Recreation policies are becoming more important to communities across Canada, reducing the need for health, social and justice services, said Holding. “If you have a community full of healthier, better people, then it’s a better one all around.”

Report reaffirms need for new CNC campus Cameron Ginn Omineca Express A recent report has underscored the longstanding need to replace the College of New Caledonia (CNC) campus in Vanderhoof. "The CNC Vanderhoof existing campus building severely limits the diversity, scope and quantity of programs and services that can be provided," according to a press release from the Nechako Valley Post Secondary Education Working Group. The report, developed by the consulting company Yates, Thorn & Associates at the request of the working group, will be reviewed publicly at McLeod Elementary School on Jan. 24, 2013, at 5:30 p.m. "The report provides detailed demographics and community information in relation to the changing needs of education and skills training required to meet new labour market demands," the press release says. For some, the report simply authenticates what was already apparent: the CNC campus in Vanderhoof is under-equipped to train people for the surge of new resource development projects in northern B.C. At a meeting organized by Vanderhoof council in May 2011, busi-

ness, industry, education and First Nations representatives voiced their support of developing new facilities and training programs. Almost 60 people attended the meeting, an enormous number by council's standards, signaling an overwhelming interest to overhaul the CNC campus in Vanderhoof. "These people came and said the community needs specialized training, especially for trades," said Mayor Gerry Thiessen. In the following days, council appointed the working group to develop a plan with an overall objective of expanding post-secondary education in the region. "Our main objective was to become the community synergy to create that momentum to direct the priority plan," said Chair Gary Blattner. Although it was never the working group's intention to single out a new campus as the only solution, they had little choice, explained Blattner. "Bricks and mortar isn't always the answer," he said. "But it's problematic because you can't teach trades - welding, carpentry, plumping, millwright, etc. - in the existing (CNC) facility." In September 2012, Thiessen met with John Yap, Minister of Advanced Education, Innovation and

Technology, to discuss the need for bolstering technical and trades training in Vanderhoof. Thiessen told Yap that Vanderhoof has received only a small percentage of post-secondary education funding compared to the communities of Burns Lake, Fort St. James and Mackenzie, B.C. "It's of the utmost importance," Thiessen said about the need for a larger, trades-oriented CNC campus in Vanderhoof. "People who want to live in the Nechako Valley, for them to find post-secondary education in the trades, that's going to allow industry to come here knowing that they have a stable workforce of young people, which will enable them to operate their businesses and industry here in the future." Blattner, the former regional director of the CNC campus in Fort St. James, said training programs expanded and economic growth occurred as a result of a new facility being built there in 2009. "The excitement of the community was good to see, and that's what I hope happens here," he said. Some of the need to expand postsecondary education in Vanderhoof stems from the Blackwater Project, a proposed open-pit mine about 110 kilometres southwest of Vanderhoof

that is expected to create hundreds of jobs over some 17 years of mining operations. "In order to provide as many opportunities for local residents as we can, there needs to be local training," said Kathie LaForge, community manager for New Gold, the project's owner. Pending the approval of at least one environmental assessment, and the acquisition of permits, licenses and authorizations from government agencies and ministries, New Gold plans to start building the Blackwater mine in 2015, hiring 1,000 to 1,500 workers for construction. In the meantime, New Gold is considering developing a skills gap analysis to determine the level of training in the area and what programs might be required to train workers for operations at Blackwater. But because some apprenticeships and certification programs take between two and three years to complete, New Gold may have to start working with various area institutions sooner to make certain programs available, explained LaForge. "I think that 2013 and 2014 both will be big years for looking at developing opportunities for training and contracting," said LaForge.

Tom Fletcher Black Press B.C.'s 85 MLAs have begun disclosing their travel expenses, posting total amounts charged on their government-issued credit cards but not the details of where they drove, flew or dined. The B.C. legislature's internal finances are being dragged into the 21st century in response to a damning report from Auditor General John Doyle released in July. The audit found that MLA credit card bills were being paid without receipts, and the legislative assembly hadn't produced financial statements despite a 2007 recommendation from the previous auditor general. In response, the Legislative Assembly Management Committee, chaired by Speaker and Penticton MLA Bill Barisoff, began holding its meetings in public. Two new financial officers were hired to address what Doyle described as "pervasive deficiencies" in financial accountability of legislature operations. The management committee authorized the first release Wednesday, showing six months of expenditures for each MLA up to the end of September. The report breaks spending down in categories, including accommodation, daily meal allowance and three categories of travel. MLAs representing districts farthest from Victoria generally run up the highest expenses. Leading the pack in the first report is Robin Austin, NDP MLA for Skeena, with $53,606 in expenses from April to September. Austin's total includes $19,486 in "Speaker approved travel," including a trip to Colombo, Sri Lanka in September to attend a Commonwealth Parliamentary Association conference. Speakers, deputy speakers and legislative clerks typically attend these conferences, aimed at strengthening parliamentary practices around the

world. Routine expenses include the "capital city allowance," for which most MLAs who live outside Greater Victoria claim $1,000 a month without receipts. With receipts, out-of-town MLAs can claim up to $19,000 a year for rent, mortgage or hotel accommodation while in Victoria on legislature business. MLAs are also eligible for $61 a day for meals while in Victoria on legislature business. MLA expenses are to be posted quarterly from now on at www.leg.bc.ca/mla/remuneration/travel_ expenses.htm where the first reports are posted. Cabinet minister travel expenses are reported separately on the B.C. government's "open government" website initiated by Premier Christy Clark. They receive similar accommodation and meal payments to other MLAs, but they are paid by their ministries and do not show up on the new disclosures.

To receipt or not to receipt... Ruth Lloyd Caledonia Courier I was reading through a story on MLA expenses recently (see page 4), and I had to wonder, why are there two sets of rules, one for the rest of us, and one for our politicians in Victoria? Now, in the story by Tom Fletcher, there are some really remarkable things going on with MLA travel expenses, and this is not just a Liberal issue or an NDP issue or an independent issue. Unfortunately, the issue appears to be more entrenched than one party’s lack of bookkeeping. MLAs are not required to produce receipts, and are not required to list where or for what reason they are expensing the costs. Tens of thousands of dollars in MLA expenses charged and submitted without receipts and no apparent accountability either. Now I find this curious, because while it is a pain in the butt, keeping receipts and tracking costs is something most of us do at some point. When I was a firefighter for the province, I had a provincial credit card, and I used it frequently, but I had to account for every penny spent. In fact, we had such strict oversight in the fire centre, if we were out by 25 cents, we would be expected to deliver it to the bookkeepers in person (I think they thought this was a good lesson). If we lost a receipt, an attempt had to be made to get a new one issued, and if not possible, a form had to be filled out and signed. Sure I dreaded the monthly statement, sorting through the receipts and arranging them, but once a smart coworker developed a simple Excel worksheet to write in the necessary codes, it did not take much time, and as long as I had managed to keep my receipts in reasonable order, everyone was happy. Now I know MLAs are busy people, but is it really that hard to ask for a receipt and make sure to have the liquor on a separate bill? They have office staff who could fill out the paperwork, as long as they kept track and logged their receipts properly. How are we supposed to take politicians seriously and trust them when they are allowed free reign on spending our hardearned dollars for their travel expenses? What I would like to know most, however, is this: How would an auditor respond if we were to file our taxes and claim tens of thousands of dollars in expenses without keeping a single receipt? Not sure it would fly. The Omineca Express is published every Wednesday in Vanderhoof by Black Press Ltd.

Letters to the Editor

Cudo’s to United Steelworkers Dear Editor Good on the United Steelworkers for standing strong for Canadian Jobs. Where is the B.C. Federation of Labour’s big guy Jim Sinclair on this foreign workers issue? There should be many more unions involved in a much bigger protest to keep foreign workers from depleting and eroding our jobs. I’m big on British Columbia and all of Western Canada, if we are go-

ing to extract and sell our resources, then jobs and good wages should be given balanced consideration with corporations ability to generate profits. We need to protect our decent paying private sector jobs and it is entirely doable. The corporations should expect to have to pony up some funds to help train local workers along with the unions journeymen’s programs, etc., as necessary. Christy Clark has a big

“B.C. Jobs Plan” with a $5.7-million add campaign, wasting our heavy deficit tax-dollars to brag about it. Then our genius Premier condones imports of unskilled Chinese workers to displace and undermine our jobs by $10 to $17 an hour. Oh I know, lets import some cheap labour to take our jobs? Our Langley MLA’s Rich Coleman and Mary Pollack should apologize for being silent on this nonsense. The B.C. Lib-

eral’s are becoming a joke and have some serious explaining to do. As a fiscal conservative I have some issues with some unions like their accountability, reporting transparency of funds, etc., but they serve a useful purpose and I want them all to be strong on this issue. Ever wonder why they call it common sense when it’s so uncommon? Roland Seguin Langley, B.C.

Restore funding for health programs in poor nations Dear Editor International Co-operation Minister Julian Fantino's newly announced direction for CIDA is deeply troubling. Aligning Canada's development aid with extraction industries appears to undermine the whole purpose of aid, which is to assist others to achieve economic independence and self sufficiency. Diverting precious aid dollars to already profitable corporations that

provide very little economic benefit beyond their shareholders, is cynical at best. Canada has a long and proud tradition of making a positive contribution to the global community, especially in the areas of health. A chronically ill population will always function far below potential. If Minister Fantino's intent is to help underperforming nations, Canada already has shown great success with TB-REACH and The Global Fund to

Fight AIDS, TB and Malaria, and yet CIDA plans to severely cut funding for these programs starting next year. Diverting funds from proven successful, lifesaving programs such as these is a direction that advocates for the world's poor could never endorse. That this is the same government that quashed the proposed mining accountability act, which would have imposed a very minimal code of ethical conduct on Canadian

mining companies operating in the developing world, makes me question the sincerity of CIDA's new approach. Is CIDA to become a shill for Canadian extraction industries? Aid to become a source of profit? If Mr. Fantino is really concerned about the world's poor, funding for proven health programs like TB-REACH and The Global Fund must be restored.

Drunk driving deaths down for a second year B.C.'s toughened roadside penalties on drinking drivers are being credited for cutting alcohol-related crash deaths for a second straight year. The province estimates 104 lives have been saved since the immediate roadside prohibition (IRP) system took effect in September 2010. That's based on a drop from an average of 114 impaired fatalities prior to the new rules to 66 in the first full year of the IRP program and 58 in the second year. Provincial government officials say the initiative has drastically changed British Columbian attitudes to drinking and getting behind the wheel. "As you drive home late at night, the car coming toward you is far less likely to be piloted by an impaired driver than at any time in recent years," Justice Minister Shirley Bond said. She said B.C. is so far averaging a 46 per cent drop in drunk driving fatalities – better than a target of 35 per cent set in 2010 in honour of impaired driving victim Alexa Middelaer. The roadside penalties can result in licence suspensions, vehicle impoundments and can cost drivers $600 to $4,000 in administrative penalties and remedial program costs. The new approach has also meant a major shift away from criminal prosecution of suspected impaired drivers, which consumes much police investigation and court time. A June survey of drivers in five communities (Vancouver, Abbotsford, Kelowna, Prince George and Saanich) found the lowest levels of drinking and driving ever recorded in a series of similar surveys dating back to 1995. Nearly 60 per cent fewer drivers who agreed to be tested for the survey were at or over the 0.08 criminal blood-alcohol level than

in past years, and there was a 44 per cent drop in those who tested in the warn range above 0.05. Drivers aged 25 to 54 were most likely to say their behaviour has changed due to the new sanctions and those under 25 were most likely to say they never drink and drive. The tests found no drivers aged 16 to 18 who had been drinking, which is thought to be a benefit of B.C.'s graduated licensing system that restricts novice and learners to a zero blood al- A member of the RCMP removes bottles of booze from a vehicle at a holiday season roadside check.

Nutritional Labels Part 1 Nutrition labels can be confusing, but they are there to help you make the right decision, or at least an educated one. SO for the next few articles we will focus on how to tell facts from fluff. The number one overlooked fact about the nutrition label is the “Serving size” Often people will sit down to eat an entire box of Macaroni and cheese with no problem, without realizing that a single box is a serving for 4. Serving sizes are your guide to understand the amount of what you are getting. If the serving size is ¼ the box, then you need to multiply the information of calories, fat, proteins etc, by four. For some people, simply keeping track of their calories will help them to lose weight, once you realize how much you are eating it stays on your mind next time you sit down to eat. When it comes to keeping track of your daily intake, percentages are just as important, keep a list and you’d be amazed at how many vitamins you may not have enough of, or how much sodium is actually eaten. “Calories” – are the measurement of how much energy the food you are eating is giving you. ( too many calories in surplus get stored as fat. Depending on your lifestyle the intake you need differs and so everyone is different. Daily values for women are about 1500-2000 & for men 2000-2500. Keep in mind activity level is recommended and amount influences your caloric need. (Want to keep tract of calories taken in versus burned? There are plenty of online calculators available). “Fat” – for every gram of fat multiply by three to get the amount of calories and you’ll see how fat can add up. Be sure to make healthy choices regarding fats, and limits your saturated and trans fats as they are the most difficult for the body to dispose of and opt out instead for healthier fats such as unsaturated and raw oils such as olive oils, nuts & seeds. Your body needs fat so be sure to ingest more of the good fats (such as omegas etc) “Cholesterol” - try to keep this number down as well, your body produces most of your own cholesterol, try not to add too much via food intake. “Sodium” - is often found in many processed foods and they can add up, too much sodium means water retention and problems in the long run. The worst offenders tend to be microwave dishes and fast foods, so be sure to keep your eye out for an acceptable amount. Try not to exceed 100% of your daily recommended value. We all need a little sodium and salt, however, preservation and conveniences sneak in larger amounts then we are used to. Next week. Part 2

FFWBC is a group of volunteers comprised of firefighters, professionals and civilians from all parts of B.C. The group’s purpose is to deliver aid in the form of equipment, training and financial support to fire departments, emergency

services organizations and fire fighters in countries or regions that have a demonstrated need. When the Fort Fraser Volunteer Fire Department started in 1990, other departments from around B.C. donated equipment to help it get started. Since then, the department has slowly upgraded to newer equipment and now it is time to help someone else.

Ski season begins in Vanderhoof Paul Collard The cross-country ski season is underway in Vanderhoof. A little early compared to some years, but very welcome, so we don’t have to do any more snow dances. All the areas for cross-country skiing have snow. The trails are in excellent shape for skating, with biathlon training

for both Biathlon Bears and older athletes occurring regularly. The Riverside Park has been track set, but could use a little more snow cover in places. The other area on the Waterlilly Lake trails has lots of snow and is great for back-country skiing. Grooming with set tracks will be underway soon. Upcoming events for this season include a cross country ski race, part of the

GATEWAY perspectives

Kitimat: A safe option There’s no mistaking the importance of Kitimat, B.C., to the Gateway project. It’s where the pipeline ends, and it’s where marine operations begin. I’d like to set the record straight on why we chose Kitimat, at the head of the Douglas Channel, as the site for Gateway’s marine terminal. The answer took thousands of hours of research, planning, engineering, environmental science, oceanography consultation, weather monitoring, and simulation. But the simple reason is . . . safety, all the way.

The Douglas Channel is one of the widest and deepest inland waterways on North America’s west coast. Government research had already determined Kitimat to be among the safest ports in B.C., and about 1,500 tankers carrying petrochemicals have docked safely at Kitimat over the past quarter-century. Strategically speaking, Kitimat provides the lowest environmental risk for all aspects of Gateway operations. It offers a safer endpoint for the pipeline route, from a geotechnical perspective. The marine terminal at Kitimat also provides safe approaches for tanker traffic — with a suitable turning basin in Kitimat Arm, and natural deep-water berths that are sheltered

from open-water wave conditions. At its very narrowest, the Douglas Channel is 1.4 kilometres wide — three times wider than Transport Canada’s recommended width for two-way tanker traffic. Water depths in the marine channels are up to several hundred metres. As an added measure, full simulations of vessel traffic in the Douglas Channel were carried out at a world-leading facility in Denmark. It tested the largest proposed vessels in environmental conditions that tankers would experience in the marine channels. The result was a thumbs-up on the shipping route, endorsed by both government departments and the British Columbia Coast Pilots. Why Kitimat? Why the Douglas Channel? It’s the safe option for Gateway.

Featuring the spirit of the local people Devout director remains committed to community Cameron Ginn Omineca Express

As director and producer of the Children’s Theatre in Vanderhoof, Richard Wruth is a perfectionist. In the theatre, he’s constantly dealing with deadlines, miscues, props and students who, at times, don’t appear to grasp the urgency of the situation. “Every year I say we’re never going to make it, that we’re not showing this,” said Wruth “But when you think it’s never going to come together, on opening night, the kids always amaze you.” It’s normal for Wruth and his coworkers to each invest 500 to 600 hours into producing a single show, helping students rehearse the script and hone their formations on stage. For the last two weeks, Wruth has been working tirelessly on two plays at the theatre, Sleeping Beauty and the Jungle Book, which involve almost 50 students from schools across the district. After spending long hours racing around the theatre, Wruth usually doesn’t get home until midnight. “I may not have got much sleep over it, but in the end, it’s all worth it,” he said. Wruth started working at the Children’s Theatre in 1999 as part of a career program. He was contemplating going to university, but opted to direct one more play. Wruth has been helping produce plays and musicals at the theatre ever since. “I love it,” he said. In the past 12 years, Wruth has seen how theatre helps shy students develop into more confident young adults, some of whom are now playing lead roles on stage, he explained. At first, performing before an audience can be a bit nerve racking, but over time, theatre helps students improve their interpersonal skills and become better public speakers. “Honestly, I think every kid should have to take theatre,” he said. This last year, Wruth was praised by John Rustad, MLA for Nechako Lakes, and received the Cynthia Davis award for his commitment to the Children’s Theatre. Once, while Wruth was attending the Vanderhoof Music Festival to watch his cousin play in a band, he was asked on to the stage to receive an award from the committee.

“I didn’t know anything about it. Actually, I was just about to leave when my aunt grabbed me and told me to sit back down,” he said. “I said, I can’t! I’ve got theatre to work on!” For the time being, Wruth has no intention of leaving Vanderhoof to branch out, enroll in university or head to broadway. “A lot of people tell me to go to school and become the drama teacher, but you know what, it’s not always about a paycheck,” he said. “I’m fine doing this. It’s my way of giving back to the community.” Sleeping Beauty and the Jungle Book will be performed at the Vanderhoof Children’s Theatre at Nechako Valley Secondary School at 7 p.m. on Dec. 6, 8, 13, 14 and 15, with a special matinee on Saturday, Dec. 8, at 1 p.m.

Trudeau talks pipelines, pot in B.C. BC SPCA your first adoption option!

Tom Fletcher Black Press Federal Liberal leadership candidate Justin Trudeau made a swing through B.C. Wednesday, weighing in on debates about oil pipelines, marijuana and other hot political topics. Trudeau shook up the national energy debate this week by coming out in favour of oil exports to Asia, and the proposed takeover of Alberta oilsands producer Nexen by a Chinese state corporation. At a radio town hall meeting, Trudeau said he supports oil exports and Chinese investment because the investment and trade will create more middle-class employment in Canada. But he hastened to add he opposes the Enbridge Northern Gateway pipeline proposed to run from Alberta to Kitimat. He accused Enbridge of failing to consult with aboriginal people along the route and said he is opposed to a crude oil pipeline to B.C.'s North Coast. Producers are going to have to "go back to the drawing board and find another way to get oil to Asia," he said. During the town hall, he was told that Liberal MP David McGuinty had resigned as the party's natural resources critic after denouncing some

Conservative MPs as "shills" for the oil industry who should "go back to Alberta." Trudeau said he was offended by McGuinty's comments, and wants to unify the country rather than pit one region against another as NDP leader Thomas Mulcair and Prime Minister Stephen Harper have done. He spoke in favour of legalizing marijuana. "The war on drugs as it stands has only been profitable for criminal enterprises and for gangs," Trudeau said. "We need to move beyond that, and I think

it makes sense to tax and regulate it because that's actually an effective way of keeping it out of the hands of our kids, who will no longer have access to it on street corners." Trudeau was also asked about the hot topic of the Nov. 26 Victoria by-election, land-based sewage treatment. He said the costly plan isn't

supported by scientific experts, and is only supported by the NDP as a "make-work project" for the Victoria region. The Liberal Party of Canada is to choose its new leader in a nationwide vote in April. Other contenders include Ontario MP Martha Hall Findlay, who ran unsuccessfully for the leadership in 2006.

B.C. pot could generate more than $2.5 billion in tax revenue over five years, says study

Sunny McKechnie Based on current consumption patterns, British Columbia’s domestic cannabis market could

be worth more than $500-million annually, according to a new study by a coalition of researchers from the University of British Columbia and Simon Fraser University.

The study, published this month in the peer-reviewed International Journal of Drug Policy, is the first to estimate the size of B.C.’s domestically consumed cannabis market using provincial surveillance data. Researchers found that the estimated retail expenditure on cannabis by British Columbians was approximately $443-million to $564-million annually. The study concludes that regulating the provincial cannabis market could provide government with approximately $2.5 billion in tax and licensing revenues over the next five years. “If you begin to stand back and calculate just how much potential tax revenue is instead going to fuel organized crime, it really highlights how we need to start questioning our current approach,” said Dr. Evan Wood, senior author of the study and Canada Research Chair in Inner City Medicine at UBC. “The results demonstrate how cannabis is such a highly lucrative and reliable source of income for organized crime, and that a regulated system in B.C. could generate significant tax revenue for services that

actually address community health and safety.” Provincial policing agencies estimate that 85 per cent of the cannabis market in B.C. is currently controlled by organized crime groups. Data on electrical power usage and from police raids suggest that the number of cannabis grow operations in the province nearly doubled between 2003 and 2010, further demonstrating the increasing involvement of organized crime groups in the domestic production and distribution of cannabis. This increase in gang activity has also corresponded with rising gang violence in the province. In 2009, the RCMP reported 276 incidents of drive-by shootings in B.C. “The enormity of B.C.’s illegal cannabis market demonstrates the failure of law enforcement efforts to rein in the illegal cannabis trade,” said Neil Boyd, Professor, School of Criminology at Simon Fraser University. “B.C.’s cannabis prohibition laws have proven to be ineffective, instead fueling gang activity and violence in communities throughout the province and across our borders.”
