New judges aim to cut court backlog TOM FLETCHER Black Press The B.C. government is appointing nine new provincial court justices and launching a pilot project to reduce the wait time for hearing child protection cases. Attorney General Shirley Bond announced Tuesday that two judges will be assigned to work with Chief Judge Thomas Crabtree on the child protection case management project this spring, and a second pilot program to reduce criminal court
waiting times. Two of the new judges will be assigned to Surrey, the busiest provincial court in the province. One each will go to Port Coquitlam, North Vancouver, Vancouver, Kamloops-Okanagan and the Northeast district. The changes are based on a review of B.C. court delays by lawyer Geoffrey Cowper, who called for a system to enforce timely hearings of evidence, to overcome a “culture of delay” and a tendency of defence lawyers to seek delays that weaken the prosecution case.
The B.C. Crown Counsel Association has also identified Nanaimo and Richmond as having excessive delays. Association president Samiran Lakshman said in Surrey, it takes 14 months or more to schedule a half a day for a brief trial. Bond said the extra judges bring the B.C. total to 132 fulltime-equivalent, with each judge and support staff costing $1.6 million a year. “The addition of nine new judges and the backlog reduction projects – and specifically the assignment of judicial re-

sources to those projects – sign a shared understanding by all parties that changes need to be made to improve the justice system,” Bond said. Cowper noted that 98 per cent of criminal cases end with a guilty plea or a stay of proceedings, but the system treats all cases as if they are going to trial. The number of cases dropped significantly after B.C. police started imposing heavy roadside penalties for impaired driving instead of sending suspects to court.

Human intelligence: Are we smarter than a wildebeest? Humans like to differentiate themselves from animals based on creative cranium capabilities. We think we experience a range of insight and emotions animals lack. We cite how we’re capable of reason while animals are merely guided by instinct. It would seem humans are gifted with superior brain matter while animals rely on things like speed for survival. For instance, confronted with a life threatening danger some animals will stampede in an attempt to outrun their predator. Humans, on the other hand, only stampede when confronted with a stuffed toy, gadget or game whose demand outweighs its supply. See the difference? Almost every

Christmas you hear about a herd of humans storming a mall and trampling other humans in an attempt to procure whatever object has won the advertising wars of the season. Apparently our bountiful brains with their astonishing ability to express emotion, empathy and compassion hit a wall when confronted with Tickle Me Elmo dolls.. But it doesn’t just happen at Christmas. Several months ago I was attending a gar-
den extravaganza that showcases the newest happenings in the plant world. Booths and classrooms spilled across a huge expanse of flower infested greenery, peddling everything from bulbs to information. It was fantastic. In the midst of all the roses, shrubs and trees was a stage where the rock stars of the botanical world took turns wowing the crowd. As one such celebrity was finishing he casually mentioned a certain non profit organization would be giving out free shopping bags to the left of the stage. We all looked to the left and sure enough, there stood a young lady beside a small box of bags. She wore a friendly, but slightly bored, smile. As the first few people trickled towards her she

pulled a bag from the box and held it up. The bag was beautiful. It featured butterflies and frogs on a cream coloured background. A ripple of excitement combed through the crowd, snagging on the realization that the box was small and the crowd was large. As we surged forth towards the unsuspecting Bag Dispenser it was clear our superior human type brains had reached the same three conclusions at the same time. The bags were beautiful. There were more people than bags. If we didn’t get a bag life was no longer worth living. The young lady no longer looked bored. The line up was abandoned by several elderly members of the crowd, whose wisdom and cunning had them circling their prey in-
stead. Arriving at her elbow they reached across for a bag mumbling an innocent, “Thank you dear” while those of us in the lineup barred our teeth in fake smiles at their boldness. “Well, I must be the most popular person here,” the bag dispenser said trying to look cheerful as the crowd pressed around her, but we could all see the frightened whites of her eyes as she pulled the last bag from the box. “I might have another box back at our booth,” she stammered. “I’ll go check.” The crowd followed her like a pack of wolves on the trail of a wounded deer. You could smell the panic in the air. All this for a free shopping bag! I was disgusted. I was ashamed. I was walk-

ing as fast as anyone. And yes, I got my free shopping bag. So did everyone else. Though I suspect we used up all the giveaways for the next three days combined. Small price for keeping the crowd calm I suppose. Things did not go as well for Nicholas II who was named Tsar of Russia in 1896. Four days after being crowned people began to gather on Khodynka Field for a celebratory banquet extraordinaire. The town square was set up to offer theatres, beer pubs and 150 buffets from which coronation gifts from the tsar would be dispensed. The gifts consisted of a bread roll, a piece of sausage, pretzels, gingerbread and a cup. By five a.m. thousands of people were
already gathered on the field. Before the event even began a rumour swept the crowd that there was not enough beer or pretzels for everyone. Mayhem broke out. Panic ensued. Almost 2000 members of a police force desperately tried to keep order but failed. Records report that 1,389 people were trampled to death while another 1,300 were injured. Some of those gift cups still surface in antique stores today; they’re known as the ‘cup of sorrow.’ Good grief. Not quite the story for the season of raising a cup of cheer. Or is it?

What’s on Your Wish List?
Here are a few tips for avoiding colds: Wash your hands often throughout the day. Keep active even in cold weather. Exercise helps strengthen the immune system. Avoid smoking. Eat well, especially vegetables and fruit. Get plenty of rest. Throw away used tissues right away so the viruses they contain don’t infect others. If you have a young child (over one year old) who is kept awake at night with a cough, try giving a teaspoonful of honey. It often soothes the throat and can reduce the cough reflex and help the child get a good night’s sleep. We all know someone who is affected by cancer. It seems it is on the rise and it is. One of the reasons for this is that we are living longer and this gives the cancer a longer time to grow. Antibiotics and vaccines have increased our life spans and our longer lives gives cancer a greater chance of getting established. Personalized service is nice to receive especially when it comes to your medication. Talking to you about your medication matters is an important part of our job. It’s a role we feel good about. See you soon!

News Christmas money to burn PETER PANIC! The Maranatha Players present the musical
There are so many little Christmas stories I could tell, so many heartwarming experiences to share. However, the one that stands out for me (probably because it was the first real drama I ever watched my parents deal with) happened a very long time ago. On Christmas Day, my mom presented a special gift to the family. She had saved and bought tickets for all of us to see “Mutiny on the Bounty” (the original production - that’s how long ago this was!). Wrapped up in the tickets were three, $100 bills, as well, to pay for the trip to town, dinner and a bit of Christmas shop-

ping. It was so exciting and this was the first time I ever saw a hundred dollar bill – pretty impressive for a 10year old. The show was in January, and after our initial surprise and excitement, we mostly forgot about it until the evening of the show. We dressed in our very best clothes – go-
ing to the big city was a special treat – and set out on the adventure. When we got to the theatre and the usher asked for tickets, my mother could not find them – they had completely disappeared from her purse. After our journey to get there and all the excitement about the show, it was going to be an extreme disappointment not to be able to see it. But, my mother was determined and she took the usher aside to give him the seat numbers and suggest that those five seats would be empty because they were our seats. Sure enough, the seats were vacant so, thanks to mom’s ex-

cellent memory, we got to see the epic production. When we got home and after a thorough search of the house, we found the charred remains of the tickets and the hundred dollar bills in the ashes of the fireplace. I guess they had been gathered up with everything else and burned. The tickets were in pieces and only one corner of one hundred dollar bill was left in the Christmas wrapping. And, to our great entertainment over the years, mom and dad were never able to say those famous parental words of rebuke “we don’t have money to burn, you know!”

Timber deal reached to rebuild mill Tom Fletcher Black Press The partners in the Burns Lake sawmill destroyed in a fatal fire in January have accepted the conditions for rebuilding the mill. To the community’s relief, the announcement comes despite last week’s decision by WorkSafeBC to refer their fire investigations at Babine Forest Products in Burns Lake and a later fire at Lakeland Mills in Prince George, to Crown counsel for possible charges. Two workers died and 42 others injured in the two fires, which WorkSafeBC concluded were caused by dust explosions.
“I’m very pleased with the decision,” said Nechako Lakes MLA John Rustad, who joined officials in Burns Lake Tuesday for the announcement. He said it delivers on a promise made by Premier Christy Clark when she visited the community in the hours after disaster struck. Steve Zika, CEO of Oregon-based Hampton Affiliates, and Albert Gerow, CEO of Burns Lake Native Development Corp., announced in September that they would rebuild if an agreement could be reached with the B.C. government to supply enough timber in the wake of the pine beetle epidemic. Rustad chaired the
committee that reviewed the timber supply and determined it could support existing mills in the region and a reconstructed Babine sawmill. It requires all six aboriginal communities in the region to commit timber rights to the new mill, including new area-based Crown forest tenures that the B.C. government has promised to award under legislation that still must be passed. “I can imagine the other mills in the area would much rather have seen Hampton not rebuilt, because it means easier log access for them, and not as much competition,” Rustad said. The deal also depended on re-inventory of areas
affected by pine beetle, after the epidemic has run its course. He said inventory work in the Quesnel forest district, which was infested earlier, has shown a better survival rate of trees and stronger regrowth than expected. Cariboo North MLA Bob Simpson disputed that conclusion, saying Rustad is overstating the results from Quesnel. Simpson said the Quesnel forest is more productive than the northwest, and the optimistic projection depends on beetle-killed wood being harvested while live trees are left for later, which is not happening. “It’s all a hyper-optimistic what-if exercise by some silviculture people,”
Simpson said. The government plans to table legislation in the new year to allow areabased forest licences to be direct awarded to aboriginal communities, and supplemental licences that allow greater access to waste wood for pellets and other biofuel. The WorkSafeBC investigation found that the most likely fuel source for the two explosions was fine, dry dust, which increases when mills cut dry trees killed by beetles. The likely ignition source in both cases was motor and gear assemblies running waste conveyors in low, confined areas of the mills subject to heavy dust accumulation.
Crown lawyers will consider whether to proceed with charges under the Workers Compensation Act, which could be laid against individuals as well as the companies involved. Criminal charges were ruled out earlier in the investigation. If Workers Compensation Act charges proceed, the companies could face fines up to more than $500,000 and
individuals could be sentenced to fines or up to six months in jail. If prosecutors decide not to take charges to court, the case would be referred back to WorkSafeBC for possible administrative penalties related to cleaning, ventilation and other conditions at the mills. Two mill workers died and 20 others were injured when an explosion
and fire tore through the Babine Forest Products sawmill in Burns Lake on Jan. 20, 2012. Investigators ruled out natural gas, oil and other fuel sources, leaving fine, dry dust produced from milling wood. The likely ignition source was hot electric motor and gear reducer equipment running wood waste conveyors in low, confined areas of the mills. Lab tests showed that
fine dust from any wood source can become explosive once its moisture content is below five per cent. Both mills were processing dry beetle-killed timber as well as green timber. The investigation included reviews of previous mill inspections that reported on dust accumulation, heating, ventilation and the condition of equipment.

HEALTH, MIND & BODY Flu shots safe for pregnant women
BC Women’s Hospital & Health Centre and the BC Centre for Disease Control are reminding pregnant women of the importance of getting a flu shot. Pregnant women who get the flu are more at risk of serious complications, such as pneumonia and preterm labour and preterm delivery. The flu shot not only protects pregnant women, it also provides some protection to the baby, both during pregnancy and after the baby is born. Once the baby is born, breastfeeding provides additional protection to keep the baby healthy
from respiratory and gastrointestinal infections. Some women worry that getting the flu shot during pregnancy could pose a risk to the baby. Research has shown that the flu vaccine is safe and effective at any stage of pregnancy. There is no evidence of harm to pregnant women or their babies from getting the flu shot. In BC, the flu shot is free for pregnant women. The risk of influenzarelated hospitalizations in pregnant women increases as their pregnancy progresses, and is highest in the third trimester. Flu shots are provided free to
all British Columbians who are at risk of developing complications, or those who have close contact with at-risk individuals. The influenza vaccine that is given by nasal spray is not yet approved for use in pregnancy so pregnant women should receive the flu shot. Learn more: www.immunizebc.ca or www. healthlinkbc.ca Dr. Deborah Money, vice-president, research, BC Women’s Hospital & Health Centre says: “Pregnant women are always interested in doing the best they can to optimize the
health of their developing fetus and newborn. “The flu shot is a simple thing they can do to greatly decrease the chance of getting flu during pregnancy or post partum. “There is strong evidence that it is harmful for women and their infant if they develop true flu during pregnancy and excellent evidence that being vaccinated prevents most cases of flu. I encourage women to take advantage of this preventative opportunity.” Dr. Monika Naus, medical director, immunization, BC Centre for Disease Control says:
“Studies of thousands of pregnant women who received a flu shot have shown no evidence of harm to women and their babies. “Pregnant women can be confident that it is safe to get a flu shot. I encourage all women to take advantage of the opportunity to get a free flu shot especially if they will be in their third trimester during flu season.” PHSA is committed to sharing our expertise and knowledge to promote health and prevent illness, manage chronic conditions and lessen the burden of disease in high risk populations.
ICBC urges drivers and pedestrians to use caution in dark, fall conditions Tragically, during the months of November and December in B.C., on average, there is an 80 per cent increase in crashes where a pedestrian is injured when compared to July and August. In the Lower Mainland, the average number of crashes where a pedestrian is injured
doubles in November and December compared to July and August. The recent pedestrian incidents across the province serve as a strong reminder that as the weather conditions get darker and deteriorate as winter quickly approaches, we all need to be extra careful on our roads to help keep pedes-
trians safe. “Public safety is always our top priority,” said Mary Polak, Minister of Transportation and Infrastructure. We encourage drivers to slow down and use caution, especially during the winter months when it gets dark out earlier, and there could be rain or snow on the roads.
If you are out walking at night, we encourage you to wear something bright or reflective to help motorists spot you.” “At this time of year, it’s more important than ever for drivers to slow down and be prepared to stop for pedestrians,” said John Dickinson, ICBC’s director of road safety.Pe-
destrians should use designated crossing points only, make eye contact with drivers and add reflective gear to clothing whenever possible. “We want to help prevent these tragedies so we’re urging drivers and pedestrians to use extra caution during these dark, fall weather conditions.”

Surgery, lab tests to be delayed by strike Tom Fletcher Black Press Hospital pharmacists and medical imaging technicians plan to go ahead with brief strikes Thursday and Friday as a mediator attempts to reach a settlement with 16,000 health science employees at hospitals and clinics across B.C. Mediator Vince Ready was brought in Tuesday after negotiations that started in February failed to produce an agreement. The Health Employers Association of B.C. issued a statement Wednesday warning that the unions intend to go ahead with its first rotating strikes despite the mediation effort. Michael Marchbank, CEO of the employers’ association, said hospitals have no choice but to begin postponing non-emergency procedures, including surgery and diagnostic tests. “Employers are very concerned about the patient care impact that

The first strike is expected to be by hospital pharmacists, performing essential services only from 9 a.m. to midnight Thursday. That would be followed by a 24-hour essential-service-only strike by medical imag-
ing technologists, who perform x-rays, CT and MRI scans, nuclear medicine tests and other imaging procedures. The Health Science Professionals Bargaining Association, representing a group of unions, says there will be no picket lines. Surrey Memorial Hospi• • • • • •

the B.C. government’s “co-operative gains” bargaining mandate has not produced an employer wage offer, and the presence of a mediator alone isn’t enough to suspend strike action. “We tabled a proposal for four per cent [wage increase] over two years, with no benefit concessions,” Johnson said. “And that’s in line with the other public sector agreements that have been reached over the last few months under the government’s cooperative gains mandate.” He said nuclear medicine and other technical specialties are among the highest-skilled positions other than physicians, and there are chronic shortages of qualified staff.

Will truth die on Deficit Hill?
B.C. VIEWS TOM FLETCHER
Whatever happens in the provincial election five months from now, taxpayers should insist that it be the last spring vote. Now I know this isn’t sexy like the horse race of popularity polls so loved by the TV news. But integrity of public financial information is the next vital step in democratic reform, even more important than scheduled election dates. And the B.C. tradition of tabling untested election budgets, shutting down the legislature and firing up the campaign buses, has to end. The B.C. Liberals are on track to surpass the NDP on fudge-it budgets, having put millions into TV ads that insist the 2013 budget will struggle into the black. This is the hill Christy Clark has chosen to die on. Glen Clark set the modern bar with his 1996 election budget. After a run of red ink, it conjured a tidy little surplus that helped the NDP squeak out a win over the plaid-shirted Gordon Campbell. Campbell’s noisy exit had its roots in his 2009 fudge-it budget, which clung to an outdated $500-million deficit forecast that had already melted down along with banks, auto makers and U.S. real estate. After the election, British Columbians found out we were really $2.8 billion in the red. Not one to waste a good crisis, Campbell ordered the harmonized sales tax. Now Premier Clark and Finance Minister Mike de Jong are proposing to balance the budget and shut down the HST money machine. Clark gave a speech in Coquitlam the day before last week’s budget update, warning it “won’t be pretty.”
And it’s not. In September the current-year deficit forecast jumped above $1 billion, largely due to a glut of natural gas. The latest update pushed it near $1.5 billion. Natural gas royalties are bumping along the bottom, no big change there. But now coal prices and shipments are down, and a slow real estate market has pinched the flow of cash from Bill Vander Zalm’s legacy, the property purchase tax. I erred in a previous column, saying this year’s deficit is partly due to a staged repayment of federal HST transition money. Not so. That entire $1.6 billion was booked in last year’s budget, pushing that deficit to a record $3 billion. This means the current $1.5 billion bleeder is based strictly on current revenues, debt servicing
and spending. So how is this sucking chest wound going to suddenly heal next spring? De Jong provided an early version of his answer in his September financial statement. Amazingly, it projects a recovery of more than $100 million in natural gas royalties next year. Hmmm. Liquefied natural gas exports to Asia are still years away, and the U.S., our only current energy export customer, is developing its own huge shale gas and shale oil reserves. In another forecasted miracle, sales tax revenue is expected to dip by a mere $120 million as the old provincial sales tax returns next year. In 2014 it is projected to bounce right back to where it is today, around $6.1 billion. That’s odd. When former finance minister Kevin Falcon announced the transition back to PST
last May, he described annual revenue loss of about $500 million the first year, and more than $600 million the next. Granted, business investment credits and HST rebates to the poor also end, saving the government a
pile of cash as this significant tax reform dies. But it still looks like another fudge-it budget, designed to help another premier avoid the political graveyard at the foot of Deficit Hill.

Auditor general makes recommendations Auditor General John Doyle’s report on the Summary Financial Statements contains numerous recommendations for government to improve its financial reporting. “Overall, while government is meeting most of the basic requirements of financial reporting, there are still significant improvements it can make,” said Doyle. “British Columbians deserve easy-to-understand financial reporting, with a clean opinion, from their government.” The report provides further details on his audit opinion for government’s 2011/12 Summary Financial Statements, which was once again a qualified opinion. In issuing an opinion, the Auditor Gen-
eral applies standards as they currently exist, not how they may be shaped in the future. “Government has had audit qualifications in its summary financial statements in the last 13 of 17 years,” said Doyle. “This has a relatively straightforward solution – government merely needs to comply with the standards set by the Public Sector Accounting Board.” The eight recommendations in the report, four of which address this year’s audit opinion qualifications, relate both to government’s application of accounting standards and broader issues of financial management processes and frameworks. The report also contains a status update of the 62 recommenda-
tions contained in the Office’s reports on the Public Accounts since 2007. “I must emphasize my concern with government’s overriding of the independent standard-setting process,” stated Doyle. “One of the qualifications this year – relating to government transfers – is likely to be many times its current size in the coming audit cycle.” As in prior years, this report also includes a summary of internal control issues described in auditors’ letters to the management of government organizations and their governing boards, as well as an overview of future changes in accounting standards and the potential impacts on government’s Summary Financial Statements.
Frank MacBurney It is with heavy hearts we announce the passing of Frank Lotan MacBurney at Kelowna General Hospital on Nov. 28, 2012. Loving husband and best friend to Pauline for 63 years, best father to Charlene MacBurney and Mickey MacBurney (Janice), devoted Poppa to Dean Demers, Michael MacBurney (Hyejoo), and Christine MacBurney (Johnny Jasinski). Frank loved babysitting and spending time with his grandkids. He and Pauline enjoyed taking them on numerous trips in the motorhome. Frank and his beloved dog Peanut, were inseparable. Frank was very loved and will be missed by his family. Special thanks to Dr. Fedor and his staff. No service by request.

Giving the gift of the Cariboo LeRae Haynes Special to the Tribune Shoppers this holiday season can enjoy some fresh new ideas at Bloom ‘N’ Gifts, opening this week next to Dollar Dollar on Second Avenue. The new shop features a unique Cariboo flavour, with gifts and décor designed and created by local artists and crafters. Owner Sheila Chometsky says she carries fresh flowers, silk flowers, plants, floral arrangements, wreaths and Christmas items, indoor and outdoor custom arrangements and cut flowers. “We will offer delivery service: if you want to send flowers to someone across Canada we will take care of it for you. Our products and services are personalized and custom-made for you,” she notes. Most of all, the store will contain lots of the
Cariboo – gifts, décor, furniture and more, Chometsky says. “There are a lot of talented people in the Cariboo and I want to give them exposure for their products. I want people to be able to come in and take a part of the Cariboo home with them,” she continues. “Visitors, guests and friends: anyone can find a piece that speaks to them. “What appeals to me about this is finding and sharing products from here. I love the Cariboo. It’s a beautiful place to live and it’s home to me now. I like the people here, the down-to-earth lifestyle, the lake, the mountains and the four seasons. And there is so much rich history here.” Sheila says she has a former Williams Lake resident photographer who is bringing in some Cariboo pieces matted and framed, and that the store will also carry bulrush baskets

Sheila Chometsky is all smiles as she gets ready to welcome customers to her new gift store in Hodgson Place Mall called Bloom ‘N’ Gifts – gifts with a unique Cariboo flavour. LeRae Haynes photo with antler handles. “I really like artists who take things from the Cariboo and create art that speaks to your heart and practical, beautiful items that make your life better – and they don’t leave a footprint on the planet,” she adds. Bloom ‘N’ Gifts will carry lovely maple
leaf pottery, all-natural hand-made soap, including soaps for babies. “We will have baby blankets and things for children including homemade wooden toys,” she says. “There will be one-of-a-kind alpaca items and log furniture, including benches, tables, shelves
and coat racks. “When you have loved ones far away with ties to the Cariboo, this is a way to send them something from somewhere they know. It’s deeply meaningful to give them the ‘Cariboo feel’ again.” See CREATING, Page A20

Last week, after running around town trying to keep the to-do list at bay, I stopped in at one of the local caffeine-dispensing establishments to which I credit at least a small portion of my sanity. While I waited for my coffee I heard a once-familiar tune over the store’s speakers:“What if God was one of us, just a slob like one of us, just a stranger on the bus, trying to make His way home?” Joan Osborne (no relation to Ozzy) may not have written that song, but she performed it beautifully, and it became one of the biggest hits of 1995. Funny how long ago that seems now. As a Christian, I have to admit finding those lyrics somewhat irreverent, but they do portray the honest truth about how a lot of people feel about God. The song seems to ask,“What does God know about being in my shoes, having to deal with the stuff I face every day? Does God even get it?” And in asking those questions, it becomes an unwitting Christmas song every time I hear it. What’s amazing about Christmas is that it is not a story of an ordinary guy “trying to make his way home,” as if he were stuck in a blizzard and couldn’t get to where he really wanted to be during the holidays. Instead, Christmas is about a God who was willing to leave home and come looking for us. John’s gospel states it with simple beauty: “The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.” God came to us. The implication is that
PARSONS PEN
BY Chris Harder God wasn’t always here – at least, not in the flesh. Christians believe that Jesus has existed in eternity along with the Father and the Holy Spirit. But when he came to earth, he adopted a different arrangement than what he had known. The bible tells us that God “emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men”. The God who made us was the same God who then, at a definite point in history, became a human child, entered this world by way of a mother, and lived life as a man. When God moved to bridge the gap between us and him, he didn’t ask us to meet him halfway. The message of Christmas is this: “God is with us”. God really does understand where you are and what you’re going through.
He experienced what it is to be human. Jesus needed to eat, drink, and sleep. He got hurt, felt loneliness, experienced disappointment, and knew what it is to struggle against evil. Jesus has felt what you feel. He went as far as it is possible to go to be one of us, without becoming corrupted by the evil that surrounds - and dare I say, lives within - us. One of the most common objections to faith arises from the question of how there could be a good God when there is so much evil in the world. I’ve asked that question, too, and am comforted to know that God didn’t just watch evil do its work with indifference. He stepped into our world and experienced the suffering with us. He gets it. Anyone who would assault God’s goodness for allowing evil in the world has to measure that charge against the fact that God willingly entered our world and became a victim of that evil so that he could ultimately defeat it. Meanwhile, as I wait for that reality to reach its fulfillment, a cup of coffee may be a bright spot in my day but what really brings hope into my life is the daily friendship I enjoy with Jesus. I don’t read my bible, say my prayers, confess my failings, and worship with other believers in some guilt-driven attempt to get God to like me. I do those things because I know he loves me. I do them because I want to know him. I do them because in them I experience the “God-with-us” presence of Jesus. God is here and you can know him. Merry Christmas.

REALTOR TIPS Tips on how to sell fast for top dollar 1. Before setting a price – do your homework. If you start too high you run the risk of having your home exposed to the market too long, buyers may think there is something wrong with it, and avoid interest in a showing. If you price too low you stand the chance of selling for less than you were hoping for. 2. When choosing a realtor keep in mind that not all Realtors are the same! Be wary of quotes that are too low as those that are too high. Weigh your decision on someone that you can trust and feel confident they will do a good job on your behalf. 3. Appearance does matter – it is so critical to create an emotional look and feel of your home to prospective buyers, they will react on to what they see and smell. 4. Disclose everything – be proactive in disclosing all known defects. Disclosing issues gives the buyer a sense of honesty, and reduce the risk of liability or law suit later on. 5. Keep emotions in check during negotiations. Treat the offer using a business-like manner, especially if you receive a low offer, don’t take it personally and try to think of it as merely a starting point. You can counter a low offer even if it’s just under asking price; this lets the buyer know that you would like to work with them, but they need to adjust their price considerably.

Helping businesses with the return to PST
The government of B.C. is reaching out to businesses to help them prepare for the return of the Provincial Sales Tax (PST) with all permanent exemptions on April 1, 2013. Government increased business outreach activities in October and November to explain the timeline for re-implementation of the PST, what assistance is available to business, how to register, and to promote the new eservices option, eTaxBC, the Ministry of Finance said in a press release. This new online service will make administration of the sales tax easier for businesses. Starting Jan. 2, 2013, eTaxBC services will be available for online registration. Chambers of commerce and business organizations are being offered special seminars
covering the general principals of the PST and eTaxBC. Six were held in November and more are under development. The ministry listed the following return to PST tools and services that are now available to help keep businesses informed during the transition: • Book a one-on-one consultation with a ministry tax specialist. So far over 800 requests have been received and over 160 consultations have been completed. • Participate in an online webinar covering the general principles of the PST and eTaxBC. Over 300 businesses have registered for webinars, three webinars have been held and more are being scheduled for December. • Call the toll-free number with questions about the new PST (1 877
388-4440). Thousands of questions from businesses have already been answered. • View the video: Returning to the PST - An Overview for Business. • View the new notices and bulletins on the application of PST and related exemptions. • Email questions to: CTBTaxQuestions@gov. bc.ca Letters were mailed out to over 160,000 B.C. businesses in late September advising how to get information on the return to PST, and government has reached out to chambers of commerce and business associations to offer presentations with information businesses need for the transition. Provincial legislation/ regulations: A new provincial sales tax notice, “General Transitional Rules for the Re-
Implementation of the Provincial Sales Tax”, was issued in October. This notice provides general descriptions of transition rules for the re-implementation of the PST. The transitional rules describe how and when PST applies to transactions that straddle April 1, 2013, and should be read in conjunction with federal transitional rules for the elimination of the Harmonized Sales Tax (HST) in B.C. The rules outlined in the notice are subject to the approval of the legislative assembly. The Ministry of Finance continues to work on developing the regulations, and transitional and consequential amendments to support the Provincial Sales Tax Act, which received royal assent on May 31, 2012. Government plans to
publicly release a final proposed version of the Provincial Sales Tax Act with proposed amendments in late December. All amendments to legislation require the approval of the legislative assembly, expected in spring 2013. Business transition: More than 100,000 businesses will need to register to collect the PST, and about 30,000 of those are new businesses that have only existed under an HST tax system. They will need to learn to administer the PST in tandem with the GST, and adjust their accounting and administrative systems and prepare to collect a second sales tax, as of Apr. 1, 2013. More information on the return to PST and links to related publications can be found at www.PSTinBC.ca

DRAMATIC VAULTED CEILING GREAT ROOM This spacious three-bedroom home is designed with a large covered entry marked by wooden beams and pilasters that support its sloping roof. Through double doors, the foyer’s ceiling is also sloped, a feature that is echoed by the great room’s dramatic vaulted ceiling and out to a covered patio at the back of the home. A formal dining room is located to the left of the foyer. Both areas are separated from the great room by archways. The great room includes a gas fireplace flanked by entertainment units and enjoys access through french doors to the covered patio. The roomy kitchen includes a large island with a fourseat eating bar along one side and a bar sink at one end. A window over the double sink will let in lots of natural light, and the L-shaped counter configuration will save steps for the cook. A phone desk will provide room for a computer as well, and a pantry is located nearby. In the space connecting the double garage, set at an angle to the home’s main wing, are a powder room and a laundry room, which can double as a mud room. The garage includes a motorcycle bay. Stairs lead to the bonus room above, which could provide space for a home office, a studio or a fitness room. In the sleeping wing, the master suite is located at the back of the home for privacy. A window with an extrawide sill, perfect for a window seat, overlooks the back garden. The ensuite is reached through a capacious walk-in closet and includes a soaker tub, as well as a shower stall and double sinks.
The second and third bedrooms overlook the front garden and share a bathroom with a tub and double sinks. Nearby is a linen closet and storage cupboard. On the home’s exterior, the vertical board-and-batten finish in the gables is repeated on the garage doors. Horizontal siding and both unpainted and painted wood trim, plus cut-stone accents, lend the home an aura of casual elegance. This home measures 90 feet, six inches wide and 76 feet, seven inches deep, for a total of 2,188 square feet of living space, plus the 400-square-foot bonus room. Plans for design 5-3-678 are available for $746 (set of 5), $835(set of 8) and $890 for a super set of 10. Also add $30.00 for Priority charges within B.C. or $55.00 outside of B.C.

“Jack” John Robert Downey passed away with his family and friends by his side December 7th, 2011. Can’t believe it’s been a year without you! Words can’t describe how we miss you so much. Knowing that you were “NEW”, the big guy upstairs let you play with that weather dial during your ceremony at the house. Yes the ad said RAIN OR SHINE but you didn’t have to play with the dial and make it rain, shine, rain, shine, rain and shine. So happy we bought the tent as we were ready for “ALL” weather types!! Asked friends to describe you in “one” word: Fun, Funny, Positive, Loving, Wise, Happy, Proud, Easy Going, Incredible, Smiling, Fun Loving, Enthusiastic, Gogetter, Lovable, Caring, Sweet and Genuine! They are all true and define you well! We always look everywhere to hope to see you or hear you one more time. But we know you are one wish away. Looking over us and keeping us safe. Keep an eye on the door, sad to say a few good people will be showing up. Sorry didn’t have time to teach them the secret knock on the door. Welcome them with open arms and keep them company. Being a “Jack of all trades” I hope the big guy upstairs is keeping you busy! The one sad thing before your passing I wish you could have experienced was to see The Canucks win a Stanley Cup. Who knows?!?! It’s only been 40 years and not a win yet Miss you Dad and so does the rest of the Family! Keep the light on to guide us to you!!

DON’T DRINK & DRIVE Planning on drinkin and driving this Christmas season? You’d better think again because BC has the toughest drinking driving laws in Canada. The consequences are severe and immediate, beginning right at the roadside. During the months of December, the Police Department and CounterAttack Drinking and Driving campaign will be looking to enforce these laws. Make the right decision after you’ve done your celebrating by either having a designated driver or calling for a safe ride home.
MADD’s mission is to stop impaired driving and to support victims of this violent crime.
