Tolko Industries Ltd. received the top honour in the Natural Resources category at the 30th annual BC Exports Awards. The Natural Resources Award recognizes the company that has engaged in marketing, processing and primary production of natural resources. The BC Export Awards were given out at a ceremony held in Vancouver on Nov. 23, Tolko stated in a press release. A total of 27 companies were finalists in nine-sector award catego-
ries plus two individual awards: the Leadership Award and the International Business Studies Award. The BC Export Awards recognize the innovative approaches and unique contributions of export companies in British Columbia across all sectors and in all regions. “Tolko is committed to our international customers by providing quality products backed by excellence in customer service,” said Tolko’s vice president, sales, marketing and logistics, Hardy Wentzel. “Our Export group appreciates the
nod of recognition and will continue to build on the service expectations set by our customers and partners abroad.” Responding to Tolko’s growth in the export market, John Langley, Tolko’s general manager, export said: “We saw an opportunity in the overseas markets and we acted on it. Six years ago, just eight per cent of Tolko’s structural wood products from our operations across Western Canada were heading overseas. “In 2011, approximately 40 percent of these products went abroad
and we continue to explore more opportunities.” Tolko Industries Ltd. is a private, Canadian-owned forest products company based in Vernon, with approximately 2,900 employees. Tolko is a major producer and marketer of lumber, veneer, plywood, oriented strand board, and kraft papers, with manufacturing operations across Western Canada. The Company’s woodlands operations have received third-party certification of their sustainable forest management systems.
Deficiencies in EIS: CEAA tells Taseko Mines
The Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency (CEAA) has told Taseko Mines there are major deficiencies in the approach the company has used to assess the cumulative environment effects of the New Prosperity Mine.
“The approach excludes a number of valued ecosystem components (VEC) and key indicators from the cumulative effects assessment. Given the importance of this deficiency, the panel is submitting this information request in advance of other informa-
tion requests which will be submitted by Dec. 11, 2012,” stated panel chair Bill Ross in a letter to Taseko dated Nov. 26. John W. McManus, Taseko’s senior vice-president of operations, expressed the company’s disappoint-

NEWS In defence of decorations
A recent poll in my hometown revealed some shocking statistics. Well, shocking to me anyway. It would appear that 86 per cent of my neighbours feel Christmas starts too early, 10 per cent think it can’t start early enough and four percent feel the season is being overlooked altogether. At the risk of slapping a target on my chest, I have a confession to make...I cast my lot with the 10 per cent. Oh, the shame of it all! But it’s true. I’m part of the small minority who feels you can’t flip those LED lights on soon enough. Well, with a small caveat of waiting until Halloween is done. After that, it’s full steam to tinsel town. Woo, woo!
For those of us that like to decorate getting everything hung and strung can take at least a week; usually two. If we were to wait until the first of December (as so often seems to be the date opponents bandy about) we would only finish decorating a week before Christmas; the same week that is lost to baking, cooking and cleaning. Before you know it the big day would be upon us like a finger snap and we wouldn’t have had so much as an afternoon to relax and enjoy the decorations. It would be nothing but a panic to get the decorations up, only to take them down again before the mistletoe had scarcely stopped swinging. And that’s why I try to decorate in November.
Our own modest string of lights usually go onto the house around Nov. 15 and decorations start going up shortly after that. If all goes to plan, this gives me approximately two short weeks of down time to reflect on things like joy, love and peace. The things I love most about the season. I never knew I was annoying anyone. In fact every time I flip on our outdoor Christmas lights I always felt a rush of pleasure that I was providing a heart lift for people driving by. It never once occurred to me I was getting on their nerves instead. I understand the objection to the seasonal belch of consumerism and the insane pressure to overspend. Christmas shopping

should be approached like gambling; know your limits and spend within it! Or forgo gifts altogether. It should be more about each other’s presence than presents anyway. And there are so many traditions to be had and warm memories to be made that cost nothing at all. Oddly, the things that people seem to object to the most are the very things that are free. When our kids were small a big part of the
season was loading them up and driving around town to look at all the Christmas displays. As we made our rounds I always appreciated how much work people went to so people like us could drive by and enjoy it. Decorating the outside of one’s home seems like such a selfless enterprise. Face it, you don’t. Face it that is. Instead all your decorating efforts face the street. If we were decorating for our own enjoyment we would pour our efforts into garnishing the house across the street instead of our own. November carols being piped over loudspeakers from businesses and stores are another thing that seems to get on 86 per cent of people’s

The voters have had their say and I am forced to concede I’m in the minority on this one. Ah, well, our differences are to be celebrated along with the season. Every opinion has the right to be heard. Whether we celebrate Hanukah, the birth of the Christ child, the return of the sun or simply the gathering of family and friends, how lucky we are to live in a country where we can celebrate – or not celebrate - however and how early we choose.

I suppose in the case of department stores there might be the hope you will get so caught up in humming Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer you’ll overspend, but it’s not like you’re being taxed to pay for their music collection. Wait a minute! I just had a thought. Maybe the reason 86 per cent voted against an early Christmas start is because they were the only ones with time on their hands to vote. The rest were too busy stapling up lights, playing carols and hanging wreaths. Think about it. Would 86 per cent of the population re-

T’is the season for holiday scams As the holiday season approaches, a time when people are typically feeling more generous, you may find that you’re getting more requests to donate to charities. And while there are many legitimate companies and charities calling you for fundraising purposes, it’s a good idea to take some precautions and be informed. Nov. 1-7, is Crime Prevention Week and the B.C. government is teaming up with Consumer Protection BC to help keep families and communities safe from crime. The following tips can help protect you
from telephone charitable scams: • Ask for the information to be sent to you in writing before you commit to a donation. • Ask the telemarketer to call you back and, in the meantime, call the charity yourself to confirm they are actually running a fundraising campaign. You can also visit the Canadian Revenue Agency website at www.cra-arc.gc.ca/ chrts-gvng/lstngs/ menu-eng.html to ensure that acharity is registered. • Ask them to give you the charitable tax number of the charity. • Remember that if
you are told you have won a prize, you should never have to pay money to receive the prize. If you do decide to make a donation over the phone, always keep a record of the date, the name, address and phone number of the person and charity you spoke to, the amount you donated and the method of payment. Always be cautious around giving your credit card information over the phone. Signs of a scam include high pressure tactics or threatening telemarketers who want you to make a donation immediately. If you believe you have been
scammed, you can file a complaint with your local police and the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre at 1-888-495-8501 or at their website: www. phonebusters.com/english/common_contactus.html Consumer Protection BC licenses and regulates certain telemarketers in the province, including companies calling on behalf of charities if they are taking payment over the phone. For more information around telemarketing in B.C. or to find out if the telemarketer calling you on behalf of a charity is licensed, please visit: www.telemarketingrightsbc.ca

Tax change helps smaller B.C. breweries Tom Fletcher Black Press The B.C. government has changed its policy for taxing smaller breweries, to stave off a possible pre-Christmas shutdown at a Prince George brewery and
promote growth in the craft brewing business. Smaller breweries are taxed at a lower rate than big commercial operations, until this week paying a flat tax of $1.75 per litre of bottled or canned beer and $1.20 per litre of
draft. That rate applied until annual production reached 16 million litres, at which point the higher commercial brewery rate applied to the entire production run. Reaching that threshold would trigger a tax

increase in the millions of dollars, and Pacific Western Brewing of Prince George was the only B.C. producer getting close, partly from increased sales of their low-priced line of Cariboo beers. The company notified its employees last week that it was facing a shutdown for December if the tax policy didn’t change. Deputy premier Rich Coleman said Monday the new system creates a sliding scale of tax rates for smaller brewers that takes them up to the commercial tax rate of big breweries when they reach 30 million litres of annual production. Retroactive taxation no longer applies to amounts up to the limit for qualifying breweries. Coleman said he supports the general policy of giving tax relief to smaller brewers, brought in by the Social Credit government in 1988. But the production ceiling and retroactive tax have created problems for brewers since then, and he hopes the new policy will allow them to plan their business and
grow. An earlier version of the policy was withdrawn last week, amid reports that the president of Pacific Western Brewing had recently donated an auction prize of accommodation in the Caribbean to a party fundraiser in Coleman’s Fort Langley-Aldergrove constituency. Coleman said he has returned that donation, and he should have checked to see that party donations were not solicited from people who have current business with his ministry. Both smaller brewers and large multinationals donate to the B.C. Liberals. He said the policy includes a chart that shows what brewers pay at each production level, to reduce confusion about how it applies to each business. The preferential rates apply to seven breweries currently operating in B.C.

Tips from The CrD
heating safety
There is something about the winter months and curling up with a good book by the fireplace. But did you know that heating equipment is a leading cause of home fire deaths? With a few simple safety tips and precautions you can prevent most heating fires from happening.
Be warm and safe this winter! • • • •
• • • •
•
Keep anything that can burn at least three-feet away from heating equipment, like the furnace, fireplace, wood stove, or portable space heater. Have a three-foot “kid-free zone” around open fires and space heaters. Never use your oven to heat your home. Have a qualified professional install stationary space heating equipment, water heaters or central heating equipment according to the local codes and manufacturer’s instructions. Have heating equipment and chimneys cleaned and inspected every year by a qualified professional. Remember to turn portable heaters off when leaving the room or going to bed. Always use the right kind of fuel, specified by the manufacturer, for fuel burning space heaters. Make sure the fireplace has a sturdy screen to stop sparks from flying into the room. Ashes should be cool before putting them in a metal container. Keep the container a safe distance away from your home. Test smoke alarms monthly.
heating equipment smarts •
•
Install wood burning stoves following manufacturer’s instructions or have a professional do the installation. All fuel-burning equipment should be vented to the outside to avoid carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning. Install and maintain CO alarms to avoid the risk of CO poisoning. If you smell gas in your gas heater, do not light the appliance. Leave the home immediately and call your local fire department or gas company.

The Canadian Office and Professional Employees Union, Local 378 (COPE378) and BC Hydro have reached a tentative agreement. This agreement is subject to ratification by COPE 378’s members at BC Hydro, said the union in a press release. The tentative agreement contains an overall four per cent wage lift, staggered throughout the two years of the collective agreement. The collective agreement covers April 1, 2012 to Mar. 31, 2014. The union’s bargaining committee is recommending ratification to its members. “I’m pleased we were able to keep the concessions the employer tabled during bargaining out of the collective agreement,” said COPE 378 vice-president Gwenne Farrell. “BC Hydro came to the table with a raft of items they wanted to reduce, change or take away, including retirees’ benefits and earned lieu days.

come at these in different ways, but with this tentative agreement our benefits stay intact.” Highlights of the tentative agreement include: April 1, 2012 (fully retroactive) – one per cent wage increase, Oct. 1, 2012 — one per cent wage increase, April 1, 2013 – one per cent wage increase, and Oct. 1, 2013 – 1 per cent wage increase. There will also be modest benefit increases such as expansion of immediate family to bereavement language and favourable changes to length of service. The ratification vote will be held by mail-in ballot. “While we didn’t make large gains with this agreement, we were able to safeguard what our members currently have and keep their wages close to inflation,” finished Farrell.

Poverty of politics continues B.C.’s ritual day of shame over child poverty has come and gone once again, with politicians trading blame and timeworn talking points. The occasion was an annual gathering staged at the B.C. Teachers’ Federation office in downtown Vancouver. It is organized by First Call, an umbrella group sponsored by the BCTF, the B.C. Government Employees’ Union and a collection of like-minded “anti-poverty activists,” as they describe themselves in their latest report. The familiar script unfolded. The report misinterprets federal income statistics from two years ago and calls for a long list of uncosted, but hugely expensive measures that they assert will make B.C. the first jurisdiction in human history to eradicate poverty. A sampling: provide raises for employees and contractors at all levels of government until they are making an unspecified “living wage,” because we all know how public sector workers uniquely suffer from pay and pension inequality. Raise the minimum wage again and index it to inflation. Establish universal public dental care, prescription drug and eye care programs, and daycare. (Dismiss targeted programs that already provide this.) Raise welfare rates and expand eligibility for employment insurance. Cut tuition and provide more student grants. Eliminate homelessness. And so it continues toward a socialist Utopia and certain bankruptcy for provincial and federal governments already
B.C. VIEWS TOM FLETCHER
deeply in the red. I wrote about these numbers when Statistics Canada released them back in June. They showed a modest improvement nationally and provincially in what they measure, which is not poverty, but the relative relationship between income groups. First Call dismisses that improvement as “a dismal record.” My point is not to deny that there are many poor people in B.C. and Canada. There are. But at this point we don’t even have a reliable way of measuring the problem, let alone effective solutions. The report states: “Statistics Canada said the child poverty rate in Greater Vancouver was 18.4 per cent in 2010 …” No, Statistics Canada didn’t say that. They said what they always say, that “Low-Income Cut-Off,” or LICO figures, are not an accurate measure of poverty. The political response was equally predictable. Veteran NDP MP Libby Davies led the charge in Ottawa. The government must establish a national anti-poverty strategy with firm annual goals, she said, reciting the identical script of the B.C. NDP. Davies didn’t mention
that Manitoba is among the provinces with such a plan. It’s the only province that finished below B.C. in the percentage of children living in lowincome homes. These plans are mainly gesture politics, providing the appearance of action. Social Development Minister Stephanie Cadieux spoke on behalf of the B.C. Liberal
government, and she, too, stuck to a familiar script. The best path out of poverty is a job, she said. This is true, but also obvious. Then Cadieux went on about the “B.C. Jobs Plan,” which has its own sorry record of misrepresented federal statistics. Here’s one of the report’s more blindingly
obvious section headings: “Child poverty concentrated in big cities.” No kidding. The whole population is concentrated in big cities. Herein lies a clue that is missed by “activists” for ever-larger government. Poor people are increasingly crowded into the most expensive places. If I’m on welfare or working in a low-wage
job and receiving a provincial rent subsidy (one of those things LICO doesn’t measure), should I live in downtown Victoria or Vancouver? Shouldn’t I relocate to a smaller community where housing is cheaper? There are lots of complications to this, but some kind of incentive to relocate could help big and small communities.

Take care in handling shell fish Health Canada would like to remind Canadians that raw shellfish such as oysters, clams, scallops, mussels and cockles - can carry bacteria, viruses and toxins that can cause foodborne illness if they are not harvested, stored, handled or prepared appropriately. Shellfish is a nutritious food choice. As with all foods, it is important to store, handle and prepare shellfish
appropriately to help prevent illness. In particular, children, pregnant women, seniors and people with weakened immune systems are more susceptible to food-borne illness and should avoid eating raw or undercooked shellfish. Buy shellfish from reputable sources and keep them cold (below 4°C). Refrigerate immediately after purchase. Do
not put live shellfish in a closed container or into fresh water. Cover the shells with a damp cloth and place on the lowest shelf of the refrigerator. Store shucked (shell removed) shellfish in a closed container. Raw shellfish can be kept refrigerated for a few days, depending on their freshness and quality, and can be stored in the freezer for 2-4 months. Shucked oysters should be frozen
within two days. It is estimated that there are approximately 11 million cases of food-borne illnesses in Canada every year. Many of these illnesses could be prevented by following proper food handling and preparation techniques. If you have any abnormal symptoms or feel ill after eating shellfish, consult your physician immediately.

And then it happened! I still bear the scares of that day as a constant reminder of how “going against the grain” can leave lingering scars. Not just invisible emotional or mental scaring but the good old fashioned physical kind. It all started off innocent enough. It was a glorious summer day. Not a cloud in the sky, sun shining down, warm and wonderful. I had my buddies over to the house and two of us got to wrestling on the balcony. It was the late 1970’s and cedar siding was the exterior siding of choice for any fashionable domicile. While doing my best Hulk Hogan impersonation I got thrown backwards and slid down our cedar siding. Did I mention I had just climbed out of the pool and was only wearing a red Speedo at the time? Don’t judge me…it was the 70’s! At that moment I learned a great life lesson, “Going against the grain can be a very painful experience with some long term consequences.” The immediate pain got my attention: however, the pain worsened as the invading splinters were worked and worried out of my tender flesh over the next few days. Infection set in and eventually the doctor needed to intervene to remove the last of the wooden refugees taking shelter in my back.
PARSONS PEN BY REVEREND BUBBA Just like I realized that I could not go against the grain of the siding without experiencing the pain of the process, I have since come to understand this occurs on a much larger scale as well. As I have mentioned previously, I believe that following the way of Jesus is the best way to live this life. Jesus’ intention is to call people to live in tune with reality. He claimed to be showing us what God, the ultimate reality, is like. Jesus exposes us to reality at its rawest. By showing us how to live with the reality of God he showed us how to live in harmony with the way the world is designed to work. The way of Jesus is not about a religion; it is about reality. It is about
lining yourself up with how things really are. An interesting thing happens when you purposefully live the way of Jesus, you start noticing something deeper going on. You begin realizing the reason that this is the best way to live is that it is rooted in profound truths about how the world really is. You find yourself living more and more in tune with ultimate reality. You are more and more in sync with how the universe is at its deepest levels. It is almost as if you realize that your actions are lining up with the way mankind was really meant to live. But if there is a way of life that results in fulfilling, passionate life full of purpose, then not living this way must have consequences. The consequences of not living in harmony with ultimate reality are obvious all around us. Hate, selfishness, violence, slander, malice, addictions, family breakdown, (and the list goes on) are all the results of mankind not walking in tune with the reality of how we were designed to live in this world. Dr. Herbert Farmer said it this way, “If God is love, then the lovelessness of men must bring dire results. Men can not go against the grain of the universe and not get splinters. The state of the world today does not prove that God is not love; rather it helps prove that He is.”

B.C. deficit forecast grows again Tom Fletcher Black Press The B.C. government has increased its deficit forecast for the second time this fiscal year, citing lower revenues from coal sales and continuing low price and sales volume of natural gas. A slow real estate market has also reduced provincial revenues from the property purchase tax and provincial property tax for schools, Finance Minister Mike de Jong said Wednesday. De Jong released the finance ministry’s second-quarter update, forecasting that the deficit will reach $1.47 billion by the time the fiscal year
ends March 31. That’s an increase of $328 million from the first-quarter forecast released in September. The September deficit forecast was up $173 million from last February’s budget, attributed mostly to a drop in natural gas prices and sales volume due to oversupply in the North American market. The finance ministry says natural gas prices and revenues have been flat since September, but coal and property tax revenue are driving a drop of $202 million in expected revenues to the provincial treasury since then. De Jong said despite the slide in revenues,

he is still on track to balance the 2013 budget when he presents it in the legislature on Feb. 19. That promise is also featured in the government’s current round of advertising to promote its jobs plan. Speaking for the NDP opposition, MLA Carole James said she does not believe the next budget
will be truly balanced, despite a plan to sell government assets that she likened to “selling the family farm.” James noted that the forecast deficit has grown by about 50 per cent since the last budget, and the B.C. Liberal claims of strict spending control are contradicted by spending $15 million on ads that mainly
promote the B.C. Liberal party in the runup to the May election. In September, De Jong announced a government-wide hiring freeze and restrictions on travel and other discretionary government spending. Wednesday he said $176 million in savings have been identified.

Canadian Cancer Society welcomes B.C. colorectal cancer screening program A new province-wide colorectal screening program, announced today by the B.C. Ministry of Health, is welcome news for the Canadian Cancer Society, BC and Yukon. The society has been advocating for a colorectal cancer screening program for several years due to convincing evidence that the death rate from colorectal cancer can be reduced significantly if screening takes place widely across Canada. Colorectal cancer is the second leading cause of death from cancer in men and women combined, but it is highly treatable if detected early. “We are very
pleased that a provincial colorectal cancer screening program will be in place this spring,” says Barbara Kaminsky, CEO, Canadian Cancer Society, BC and Yukon. “We know that colorectal cancer screening works and that lives will be saved by using this proven and effective early detection method.” The Canadian Cancer Society estimates that in 2012, 2,850 British Columbians will be diagnosed with colorectal cancer and 1,150 will die of it. In May 2011, the society estimated that if 80 per cent of Canadians aged 50 and older were screened every two years, 10,000 to 15,000 colorectal
cancer deaths could be prevented over the next 10 years. Most colorectal cancers grow slowly and predictably and do not cause signs or symptoms until the cancer reaches an advanced stage. As a result, regular screening and detection is critical. The Society recommends that men and women age 50 and over have a stool test at least every two years. Stool tests help identify polyps before they become cancerous. “An organized province-wide program for early detection of colorectal cancer is a great step forward for British Columbians,” says Kaminsky. “We look forward to work-
ing with the provincial government to have even greater impact by expanding our prevention initiatives with more research, healthy public policies and programs into the future.” The new coordinated provincial screening program builds on a pilot program that has been operating since 2009 in a number of BC communities. General practitioners will refer people without symptoms between 50 and 74 years of age for stool tests (fecal immunochemical tests) once every two years. A centralized system for data collection and monitoring will be in place to assess patient usage and outcomes.

Yuletide dinner set for Dec. 5
SHARING BETWEEN THE AGES
Dalton Johnny teaches Verna Dennis how to play pool at the Seniors Village where he attends school part of the year with the Cataline Elementary Intergenerational Project. The project’s annual fundraising dinner and silent auction is coming up on Tuesday, Dec. 11. Tickets are $10 each and will be available to purchase until Nov. 30 by calling the school at 250-3927154. Photo submitted
This year’s 15th annual Yuletide Christmas Feast will be held at the Ramada Convention Centre between 4 and 7 p.m. on Wednesday, Dec. 5 The dinner is a gift from members of the Williams Lake community to anyone experiencing lean times this season, says event organizer Vanessa Riplinger of the Child Development Centre. Last year more than 600 people attended the dinner and the number is expected to increase this year. “The Ramada Convention Center has graciously offered to once again host this year’s Yuletide Christmas Dinner,” Riplinger says. “Thanks in advance to Lindsey Gas-
parini, and all the staff at the Ramada for their incredible gift to the community of Williams Lake.” The dinner is also made possible by contributions from the community. The cost of sponsoring an individual plate is $10. The cost to sponsor a family of four is $40. This promises to be a joyful and festive occasion with great food and entertainment. “This entire event is a volunteer effort,” Riplinger says. “If you would like to donate, money donations can be dropped off at the Child Development Centre at 690 North Second Ave. The Yuletide Dinner Group is a registered group for tax receipt purposes.

Where to go, what to do. The Perfect Match CD launch tonight They call themselves The Perfect Match, and hearing their perfect harmonies at community events around the community most would agree. LeRae Haynes and Cindy Nadeau both come from different parts of “out west” but share a common love for writing, singing and performing music. The duo has played for dances at the Legion, for the Stampede Street Party, at Canada Day, Performances in the Park, the Harvest Fair, Cowboy Christmas, the Lions Club 400, Relay for Life, Robbie Burns, the Celtic Ceilidh, Remembrance Day and a wide range of fundraising events. They play music that makes people want to get

Now this versatile duo and some musical friends have produced a CD titled Stop on the Bridge which they are launching tonight (Nov. 30) with a special charitable fundraiser at Thompson Rivers University gymnasium. “DESEA Peru is a
project put into place by Chilcotin residents Sandy Hart and Sandra McGirr,” Haynes says. “Sandra went to Peru as a volunteer registered nurse and worked to develop a rural nursing program. Sandy, with a background in hydrology and geology, went to help engineer and install household water
filter systems.” The evening will include a dinner, a slide show presentation by Sandra, silent auction and a dance. Tickets to the fundraiser tonight Friday, Nov. 30 are $20 for adults and $10 for children and students and available at the Hobbit House and Dandelion Living.
Doors open at 5:30 p.m. and the slideshow presentation is at 6 p.m. “We were dubbed ‘Perfect Match’ almost immediately because of our close vocal blend and how much fun we have on stage,” Haynes says. “Our debut CD includes Randy and Mark, with Danielle Schultz on cowbell and spoons, John Sykes on tuba, Glenn Robson on trumpet and Geoff Patenaude on banjo, featured on individual tunes,” Haynes says. “The original songs that Cindy and I brought to this project are Wake Me in the Morning, Frog, Cariboo Pant Leg Polka, Galahad, She Doesn’t Know, Plastic Pink Corvette and Stop on the Bridge.”

At every level of government we need to find new and innovative ways to make sure British Columbians are getting the best value for their money,” Clark said. Originally suggested by B.C. business groups and championed by Premier Clark, the AGLG will conduct performance audits of local government services and provide recommendations about how to find efficiencies and improve the effectiveness of operations. “The AGLG will help local governments identify the most efficient and effective ways to address the priorities that are important to B.C. communities and will bring greater af-
fordability for families,” said Minister of Community, Sport and Cultural Development Bill Bennett “I look forward to seeing the benefits the AGLG will bring to communities throughout the province.” Ruta is a chartered accountant and has extensive experience working in the federal Office of the Auditor General,

woodcrafter at work in the cariboo
Bun Wright’s home-based company named The Cuckoo’s Nest makes one wonder what he gets up to at home out in Horsefly, but one viewing of his trade/craft-fair booth at the Williams Lake Tourism Discovery Centre’s Made in the Cariboo event last Saturday makes it all clear. His hand-crafted items constructed from ‘rustic-wood’ show creativity and imagination. They include fanciful bird houses (palatial-sized bird cabins) and photo frames of all sizes, shapes and designs. Liz Twan photo

A second entry on the side of the home leads up a flight of stairs into the great room, which is warmed by a corner fireplace. The dining area includes a built-in sideboard, and the kitchen boasts generous counter space and a built-in pantry. Also on the main floor is a bedroom, with a three-piece bathroom adjacent.

Cards of Thanks
With Sincere T hanks Lyle left us memories never to be forgotten, whether to be at home, work or holidays. Our family would like to express our very sincerest thanks to family and friends from near and far who came to be with us in June in respect to Lyle’s service. Special thanks to Bob Moore who did an honourable, sincere eulogy that touched our hearts. Also thanks to Frank for his thoughts and song at the service plus the songs around the campfire, so much a part of Lyle’s life, words can’t express the gratitude to all who brought food to the Moose Hall and our house. Especially the ones who organized it and the meals at home. It was great. We feel indebted to you all. The wonderful care for Lyle at the hospital, Simon Fraser Lodge and Gateway Lodge compassion shown from the staff was like having an extended family through the difficult years, and no one will ever know how much it was appreciated. My humble apologies if I meet you and don’t remember your name. Please forgive me as you are all very special. Now reality set in and we think of everyone so much, especially Lyle. The flowers, cards, emails, donations to Alzheimer’s, Northern Heath, etc showed incredible respect for Lyle in his past and meant so much to us. As Lyle would say, “The coffee pot is always on”, so drop in if you’re in our area.
T hanks again, the Kennedy family Invite the whole community to your next brownie meeting, hockey game or gala evening with a couple of clicks. Add your event today.
