Trudeau talks pipelines, pot in British Columbia

EVERY BRANCH A DELIGHT

By Tom Fletcher Black Press

Federal Liberal leadership candidate Justin Trudeau made a swing through British Columbia on Nov. 21, 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 oil sands 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. However, 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 added. During the town hall, he was told 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. “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 byelection, 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 nation-wide vote in April. Other contenders include Ontario MP Martha Hall Findlay, who ran unsuccessfully for the leadership in 2006.

Clark talks tough on spending

By Tom Fletcher Black Press

Premier Christy Clark previewed the British Columbia government’s next budget update on Nov. 27, with a speech to a Coquitlam business audience stressing the virtues of balancing the budget for next year. Clark’s speech to the

Tri-Cities Chamber of Commerce came as Finance Minister Mike de Jong prepared to present the second quarter update of the current budget on Nov. 28 at the legislature. His first-quarter update in September had the province on track for a $1.14 billion deficit for the fiscal year ending

in March. Taking questions after the speech, Clark wouldn’t rule out tax increases of all kinds when the next budget is presented in February. She emphasized the need to control personal taxes, and spending controls for government. “No, we will not cut

Calendar helps Women’s Centre Ken Alexander Free Press

The 100 Mile House & District Women’s Centre Society is selling calendars for $20, as a fundraiser to keep their programs going through the winter. The calendar profiles women of attitude, action and adventure who have a connectiontotheCariboo or British Columbia, says Stop the Violence counsellor Karen Beresford. “These women speak to the strength and initiative of women to reach their goals, under challenging circumstances. This includes women who have defied social norms of their time to achieve their goals.” Some of these women became notorious, and other stories are tales of women who just

lived their lives and often went unnoticed for their incredible stories, she says. Beresford adds some stories people have heard about, but most are stories not often told. “This calendar is HERSTORY – stories of women we need to pass on and hold on to. The calendar is beautifully done in full colour scrapbook style with historical pictures of people and places and stories of the women that are our history. “We hope to acknowl-

edge their lives and use HERSTORIES as a way to build up our own lives today.” These unique and interesting calendars are available at A&B Photo, New Attitude Hair Design, Save-OnFoods, Nuthatch Books, Donex, Hub Insurance (both locations), REMAX Country Lakes Realty, Royal Lepage100 Mile Realty, Century 21, The Hills Guest Ranch, 108 Supermarket, and the 100 Mile House & District Women’s Centre.

education, and no we will not cut health care,” Clark said, leaving options open for spending cuts in other areas. With the February budget setting the stage for the May 2013 election, Clark took direct aim at NDP Leader Adrian Dix’s recent vow to repeal B.C.’s balanced budget law. “If you don’t have a balanced budget law, then deficits become the rule and balanced budgets become the exception,” Clark said. Dix said recently his policy as premier would be to balance budgets over a four-year “business cycle” because the B.C. Liberal era has shown governments can’t cut spending

Fri. thru Thurs. - 7pm NIGHTLY 2pm Matinee - Sat. Dec. 1 WRECK IT RALPH

John C. Reilly, Jane Lynch, Jack McBrayer Wreck-It Ralph (voice of John C. Reilly) longs to be as beloved as his game’s perfect Good Guy, Fix-It Felix (voice of Jack McBrayer). Problem is, nobody loves a Bad Guy. But they do love heroes... so when a modern, first-person shooter game arrives featuring tough-asnails Sergeant Calhoun (voice of Jane Lynch), Ralph sees it as his ticket to heroism and happiness. He sneaks into the game with a simple plan-win a medalbut soon wrecks everything, and accidently unleashes a deadly enemy that threatens every game in the arcade. Ralph’s only hope? Vanellope von Schweetz (voice of Sarah Silverman), a young troublemaking “glitch” from a candy-coated cart racing game who might just be the one to teach Ralph what it means to be a Good Guy. But will he realize he is good enough to become a hero before it’s “Game Over” for the entire arcade? • Rating: G •Parents: Frightening scenes • Length: 1:48

Smart meter installation nearly done

By Tom Fletcher Black Press

BC Hydro is getting close to the end of its installation of 1.7 million wireless electricity meters, but the “smart grid” won’t be functional until next spring. Until then, meters will still be read manually or consumption estimated for billing purposes. For one more winter storm season, people will still have to call BC Hydro to report a power outage, before the grid begins automatic metering and reporting of electrical failures. Cindy Verschoor, BC Hydro’s communications manager for the smart meter pro-

they are inaccessible or because owners have refused them. While BC Hydro owns the meter, the base and connections are part of the owner’s electrical system and can be placed anywhere. In some cases, garages or decks have been built over meters, and if they can’t be read, the bill is based on an estimate until a wireless meter is installed. Manual meter readings will be checked

against automatic readings during the testing phase, to verify accuracy. Verschoor said there have been six meters replaced due to inaccurate readings or other defects, but generally the new meters are more accurate, and they eliminate human errors in reading or entering data required for mechanical meters. “All of our meters have to be certified by Measurement Canada, which is a consumer protection agency, just like the pump at the gas station and the scale at the grocery store.” Verschoor said only two customers out of more than one million have opted to have the meter located away from their home. Those who refuse for whatever reasons have their installations placed “on hold” while their concerns are addressed by BC Hydro. After media reports of fires associated

with the program, BC Hydro commissioned a study of residential fire reports by Surrey fire chief Len Garis and researcher Joseph Clare. It shows that electrical fires have declined since the installation of new meters began. Damaged meter sockets are usually the owner’s responsibility, but BC Hydro inspects them at the time of installation and offers to fix them at no charge if they are damaged. So far, 1,200 meter bases have been replaced. A house fire in Mission last spring took place three days after a smart meter was installed. Verschoor said the fire is still under investigation by the B.C. Safety Authority, but the electrical meter has been ruled out as a cause. Despite media reports to the contrary, there have been no fires attributed to smart meters, she added.

The best investments are the small ones.

No need to toss out old toys

What if you could clear out some clutter as you get ready for the holidays? What if your children could help green the environment at the same time? Let’s face it: your children are probably going to get some electronic toys for the holidays. These toys will replace ones that are obsolete,

broken or otherwise relegated to the back of the closet or the bottom of the toy basket. Unearth those forgotten toys that you’ll fix “some day.” Round up all those used batteries, too. Now, there is a way to give those old electronic toys new life. Don’t toss them; recycle them. British Columbia

is the first province in Canada to offer free recycling for all kinds of electronic toys. Recyclables include plush textiles with electronics, including dolls and stuffies, metal or hard plastic toys with electronics, remote-control vehicles, ride-on vehicles, hand-held game devices, gaming devices with

WARMING HANDS AND HEARTS

PC/TV and electronic promotional items, such as those sold with meals. Every electronic toy is carefully dismantled in the recycling process, and all of its components are sorted and made into a wide variety of new items. Every bit of a toy that can be recycled – from plastics to circuit boards to various metals – is turned

into something new and useful. You can recycle those old batteries, too. The Call2Recycle program keeps batteries out of the landfill by reclaiming precious metals and turning them into new batteries and stainless steel products. To find out where you can recycle electronic toys and batteries for free, visit the

WEEK OF DECEMBER 9 TO 15, 2012

THE LUCKIEST SIGNS THIS WEEK:

SAGITTARIUS, CAPRICORN, AND AQUARIUS.

ARIES

TAURUS

Your feelings take up a lot of space this week. You are compelled to clarify a complicated love story. You will unexpectedly receive some form of reward and congratulations. GEMINI

You should be able to get most of your work done from home. If you have young children, one of them is going to want their favourite nurse to stay at home to look after them. CANCER

Lots of comings and goings are on the horizon. Be sure to plan extra time to get to your destination, whether the journey is for work or for personal reasons. LEO

You love luxury and will pull out all the stops in order to make a big impression over the holidays. You might be tempted to replace furniture and appliances on an impulse. VIRGO

You show a lot of initiative in one particular project. You’ll take charge in order to ensure that people really understand the direction you wish to take. LIBRA

You are suffering from some accumulated fatigue. It is important to slow down, recharge your batteries, and discover some new objectives in your life. This is particularly true if you feel that you have been neglecting your loved ones lately.

LIBRA

You aren’t afraid to speak out, but be careful to have all the right information before expressing yourself. You may have to translate a very important message.

You are sure to find yourself in very crowded surroundings. What’s more, it wouldn’t be surprising if you have to organize an event involving large numbers of people.

There’s lots of action on the horizon. You might be tempted to acquire a rather expensive item. Be careful, because your Christmas shopping could break your budget.

SAGITTARIUS

Sometimes it’s good to take a step back. Doing so gives you a more holistic perspective and it will, ultimately, give you more momentum.

You make time for some profound thinking. In fact, you feel a strong need to develop your spirituality and explore your convictions.

CAPRICORN

Lady Luck smiles on you this week, so don’t forget to check your lottery tickets. She’ll also be with you in your professional and love lives. Some good people will cross your path.

Your health is somewhat fragile at the moment. If you have to mix with a lot of people this week, remember to take all the necessary measures in order to not catch any germs.

AQUARIUS

You have to finalize an understanding at work that will have a very positive impact on your long term career. You create a harmonious atmosphere around you, and people trust you implicitly.

You can expect a few small annoyances this week. You will no longer be able to ignore something that you have been trying to avoid. Once it is settled you’ll feel like celebrating.

SCORPIO

Change brings some intense emotion. At the same time you will benefit from a new life experience that will be extremely profitable for you. You will be able to get closer to a member of the family.

the balanced budget law. The current deficit is larger due to repayment of the federal governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s $1.6 billion transition fund for the Harmonized Sales Tax. In September, de Jong raised the deficit projection by $173 million, largely due to lower prices and sales for B.C. natural gas.

Put discarded soccer jerseys to use Arlene Jongbloets Free Press

Soccer mom Tricia Gage cringes at the end of each season when her children’s jerseys are added to their growing pile of soccer shirts that won’t be used again. Each year, the local soccer club issues new team jerseys to all of its players, which remain theirs to keep. They’re good quality shirts, but Gage says her children won’t wear them any more. So, rather than let them pile up any longer, she has found an organization that will put them to good use. It’s the New Generations Ministries in Haiti, which cares for orphaned children. “Kids in Haiti love to play soccer,” says Gage. Until Dec. 19, she will be collecting surplus soccer jerseys, socks, shorts, shin guards,

cleats and balls with drop-off points at several elementary schools, including 100 Mile, Horse Lake and Mile 108. Canlan at the South Cariboo Rec. Centre will also accept jerseys, as will Peter Skene Ogden Secondary School and 100 Mile House Junior Secondary. Gage says she is hoping to see jerseys that will fit teens in the mix, as they are the ones who are most often overlooked. 100 Mile Laundromat has offered to clean the shirts if necessary and Gage will transport everything to Vancouver for shipping after the collection deadline. She says New Generation will take care of getting the goods to the children in Haiti, with no cost to her or those who make the donations.
