Internet drugdealing suspects back in court AUTUMN MacDONALD Observer Reporter Two Quesnel men, facing a host of drug-related charges, were back in court Tuesday to fix a date. March 19 of this year, the Public Prosecution Service of Canada approved 11 charges against Travis James Gaudette, 29 and seven charges against Darryl Arthur Gaudette, 54. Charges included importation of a controlled substance and possession of a controlled substance for the purpose of trafficking. The investigation began in June 2013, when the Prince George RCMP’s Federal Serious Organized Crime Section (FSOC) looked into importation of a controlled substance into Canada. A package containing 500 grams of Butylone was initially intercepted by the Canada Border Service Agency who in turn advised the RCMP. The package had originated in Nanjing, China and was destined for an address in Quesnel. The initial investigation linked the persons believed responsible for the importation of the Butylone to an internet website that claimed to provide “safe alternatives to party drugs.” June 20, 2013, members of FSOC, the Quesnel RCMP and the North District General Investigation Section (Williams Lake) arrested two males at a residence in Quesnel. A search warrant was executed on the residence and a variety of suspected drugs were seized. Items located within the residence supported the belief that various drugs were being trafficked by the occupants. “Investigators believed the website was being used by the suspects to advertise and sell a wide variety of controlled substances to buyers across Canada,” Cpl. White, spokesperson for the B.C. RCMP FSOC said back in March. “The drugs were then being shipped through the mail to the purchaser. The website has since been successfully shut down.” White acknowledges that a significant amount of time passed from the beginning of the investigation until charges were laid. Investigators sent 84 suspected drug samples to the Health Canada Laboratory for analysis. The RCMP release states some of the substances had not previously been seen by lab analysts, thus “time-consuming testing was required.” The two men are back in court next Friday.

Mayor-elect Bob Simpson has his hands full prepping for the Dec. 1 inaugural meeting. Post-swearing in of new mayor and council, Simpson has the task of appointing each councillor to their respective committees. “I’m in the process of meeting with each councillor to line up their interests with the various committees,” he said. Following the inaugural meeting is the first official city council meeting Dec. 15 where strategic planning is the order of the day, following budget deliberations. “In talking to residents and councillors there’s a mandate for change,” Simpson said, “a desire
for a different kind of leadership for mayor and council.” Thus Simpson is taking the next few weeks to examine how council does business, how it conducts its meetings and how it communicates – to residents as well as each other. He calls it “guiding principles.” Something he hopes to establish within council in an effort to streamline decisions that reflect the current needs of the community. “We need to realign today’s needs and priorities,” he said. Simpson also outlined his top initiatives, in conjunction with council planning exercise: • Begin a series of workshops with seniors and service providers to develop a needs analysis
that would form the basis for a Mayors’ Task Force on seniors care. The intent would be to create a long-term plan to meet the needs of Quesnel’s growing seniors population. • Bring together a stakeholder group to explore ways to improve public safety in the City’s downtown core and to ensure Quesnel has the breadth and depth of services needed to support people in our community who need shelter and who require help with mental health and addictions issues. • Convene a meeting of parents of young children to explore ways to improve the City’s parks, playgrounds and other amenities so Quesnel can retain and attract young families. • Work with the MLA’s
“In talking to residents and councillors there’s a mandate for change – a desire for a different kind of leadership for mayor and council.” Bob Simpson, mayor-elect
office and Minister Oakes to advance Quesnel’s need for an alternate truck route and seek a firm commitment from the Provincial Government to get this route built as soon as possible. • Work with our MLAs Office, the Minister of Forests, the Chief Forester and our local forest industry to prepare for the reduction in the annual allowable cut that will occur late in 2015 or
early 2016. “We need to be proactive not reactive,” he said. When queried on the new arena rumours he plans on changing or delaying the project, he sighed and stressed: “The arena is not a city council decision, it is a Sub Regional Recreation under Joint Planning function,” he said. That committee consists of 11-members, Cariboo Regional District directors and city council. Decisions pertaining to the arena must be voted on and majority approved by those 11 members. “All I ever said was that it would be negligent of me to not examine a project carefully,” Simpson said. “We need the best possible project, for the best possible price with the lowest burden to taxpayers.”

NEWS Corinne Margaret Co201m4eau March 13, 1951 ~ October 30,
The family of Corinne Margaret Comeau is sad to announce her sudden passing in Wells on October 30, 2014. Corinne was born in Yarmouth, Nova Scotia on March 13, 1951 and grew up in Meteghan, Nova Scotia. Corinne moved to B.C. in 1975 where she married Larry Fourchalk. She gave birth to their son Gabe in 1977. Corrine continued to live in B.C. where she worked in retail sales and also as a professional extra in both movies and television.
Vandalism is a crime Councillor-elect Ron Paull was just one of the many candidates who experienced vandalism with their campaign signs and the public is reminded this is a criminal offense.
Contributed photo
Corinne was well-loved by all who knew her. She always had a positive outlook and was kind,
generous, helpful, thoughtful, and a true inspiration to others because of her exceptionally good qualities as a person. She was quick to smile and to laugh and loved music and dancing. Corinne was a bright light in everyone’s lives and she is deeply missed. Her Celebration of Life was held at the Wells Legion on November 9 and was attended by 150 people. She is survived by her son Gabe and her siblings Jean Paul, Jocelyne, Rolande, Vincent, Adrienne, Marcel, Claudette, Gisele, and Martin.
Voice your opinion on Quesnel bypass City Councillors Scott Elliot and Laurey Roodenburg want you to tell Victoria that Quesnel’s need to get the trucks off Front Street should be a high priority for the Province. At the final Council meeting before the newly elected Council is sworn in on Dec. 1, the two re-elected Councillors urged Quesnel and area residents to engage in the online survey and feedback process leading up to the province establishing its 10 year Transportation Strategy. Councillor Elliot pointed out that Quesnel and area residents can send a strong message to Transportation Minister Todd Stone by filling out the province’s online survey and by making a specific request for a bypass on the transportation ministry’s website, on Twitter, by e-mail and by letter. Mayor-Elect Bob Simpson agrees with the re-elected Councillors: “I heard from a lot of residents they want the bypass to be a priority and want this long-standing issue resolved. Councillors Elliot and Roodenburg are absolutely right that
we have a unique and time-limited opportunity to place this project high on the provincial government’s agenda by getting large numbers of residents to engage in the consultation process.” The consultation
process ends Dec. 15, so the time left to send a message is short. The online survey can be found at: engage.gov.bc.ca/ transportationplant/ regionalinfo/. Messages can also be sent to Minister Todd Stone via Twitter
[@toddstoneBC and @tranBC] using the hashtag #quesnelbypass or by e-mail transportationplan@ gov.bc.ca. Residents can also sign a form letter to Minister Todd at either MLA Oakes office or at City Hall.

Quesnel Cariboo Observer
Writing on the wall
T
he promise from the provincial government that spending limits will be in place for municipal elections by 2018 is curious on a number of levels. First, interested members of the public have only until Dec. 5 to make submissions, attend hearings or fill out an online questionnaire (www.leg. bc.ca/cmt/leel/submissions.asp) for the special legislative committee which has already been gathering input from electoral organizations and other stakeholders. It’s also odd that the BC Liberals – while seeking to protect us from potential corruption on a municipal level – have not seen fit to support limits on spending or donations from corporations or unions provincially. Why should such a move not be applied across the board in B.C.? The fact remains that the financing of political campaigns by special interests with deep pockets needs to be addressed across Canada – including at the local level, where civic governments’ decisions literally impact our own backyards. Currently, B.C. has no limit municipally on who – whether an individual, a business or a union – can contribute to politicians’ war chests, or how much money they can throw in the coffers. Municipal politicians are legally obligated to divulge campaign contributors and amounts, but only after the elections, when the dust has settled. Politicians can’t ignore that the electorate is becoming far more suspicious of where their campaign contributions are coming from – which is why, in the recent civic election, most Vancouver candidates and even some in Surrey and White Rock – made a point of disclosing the information before election day, long before it was mandatory. There is writing on the wall here – even at the federal level. Even though the Conservatives made it illegal to accept union and corporate campaign donations in 2006, abuses have been recorded. And the public is increasingly wary of large sums being spent by federal parties on image and attack ads – particularly prior to elections, when spending is not subject to the same rules and scrutiny. –Black Press
Does bingeing have to be bad? L
ast winter I convinced my husband to watch the premiere episode of a popular drama about an aristocratic family and their servants in the postEdwardian era. I’d been hearing good things about the British television series for years, and although it looked a bit stuffy, I felt curious enough to check it out. “Just one show,” I said, as we were preparing dinner. “Let’s see what all the fuss is about.” With no hockey games on that night and the kids out at sleep overs, he agreed. “Okay, but it’s not called Downtown Abbey,” he said. “It’s Downton. There’s no extra w in there and Petula Clark doesn’t sing the opening.” He was right. After watching the first installment we looked at one another quizzically. “Do you want to watch the second one?” he asked, relieved to discover a show we both liked. “Yes,” I replied enthusiastically. Once episode two ended, we immediately watched the third, the fourth and then, dare I admit it, the fifth.
Lori Welbourne
On A Brighter Note Not only did I now understand what all the fuss was about, but I also experienced my first dose of binge-watching a TV show. An often criticized social trend, binge-watching is defined as viewing two to six episodes of the same program in one sitting. It’s something I couldn’t fathom doing until I easily did it myself that night. We ended up taking in the rest of the first season and the subsequent two in a similar way. We never again spent over four hours watching five episodes all at once, but most nights we managed to view one or two of them until we consumed the entire first three seasons. When it was over we had to wait for the fourth season to be released. Unlike some of the new series that cater to this
then wishing I’d taken more time between chapters to fully digest the words and savour the narrative. I also worried about turning into a lazy couch potato who’d rather stay home watching TV than go out or socialize with friends. But, who was I kidding? I turned into something of an anti-social homebody years ago. Since getting hooked on Downton Abbey we have now binge-watched the entire series of Breaking Bad, Orange is the New Black, House of Cards, Mad Men, Louie and currently we’re in the middle of the Hamlet-inspired Sons of Anarchy. I’m not going to profess this habit has improved me as a person the way a deep reading of a literary masterpiece might. But I love the opportunity to end a busy day watching an incredibly well written story with a big bowl of salad. As for tonight, I plan to cozy up on the couch for an hour or two, and do exactly that. Lori Welbourne is a syndicated columnist. She can be contacted at LoriWelbourne.com

marathon mania by having their entire season made available immediately, Downton Abbey only aired one episode per week. Suddenly, this typical way of watching TV that had been perfectly acceptable before wasn’t good enough. I decided to replace my newfound addiction with another great series. But I had to wonder: was this latest trend doing me harm? I could answer with a resounding no if I was on a treadmill or working out as I watched, but that never happened. I was always completely sedentary on our big comfy couch under a nice cozy blanket. And to top things off, I was often snacking at the same time to keep myself from falling asleep. “Make one of your giant salads,” my husband suggested after I griped about all the extra nighttime calories I was consuming. “That’ll help.” He was right again, it did. With that concern solved I then questioned if watching the shows back-to-back was eliminating the anticipation element. It reminded me of that feeling of rushing through an amazing book only to get to the end and

The sound from the screaming engine, the Pirelli P-Zero tires squealing under acceleration or diving into each corner was a sensory overload. After dozens of laps around the track with a top speed of 230km/h down the straight, this car is nothing short of amazing. Everything else just feels slow. Verdict The average buyer will still opt for the ($32,495) V6equipped cars sold with a solid 300 hp going to the rear wheels or all wheels, the V8-equipped cars are not offered with AWD any longer. The most amazing, but unspectacular part of the trip was driving the Hellcat back to Washington, D.C. through heavy traffic on the highway and downtown core. As we pulled up the W Hotel, just a block from the Whitehouse, the 707 hp Hellcat returned 9.9L/100km. Nothing short of amazing considering the cars output, but it might come down to the 411 lb.-ft. the engine puts out at just 1,200 rpm, allowing it to loaf along effortlessly. This and the $64,495 price tag will get a lot of car fans sitting up and paying attention; the world’s fastest four-door family car is an amazing engineering marvel and the price is as jaw-dropping as the car itself.

With the Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) show wrapping up last week in Las Vegas, I thought I would share with you an interesting vehicle that was on display and caught my eye – the 2014 Toyota Tundra Ultimate fishing vehicle. Bassmaster Elite Series pro angler, Britt Myers wanted a Toyota Tundra equipped with everything you would want to go fishing and I think he got his wish. It is painted in a matte gray finish from front to back with yellow and black tribal graphics. Front bumper is made by Fab Fours and comes with PIAA fog and driving lights. There is a Warn 15000lb winch tucked inside this massive bumper. Rolling big power provided the custom grille. Bushwacker fender flares help cover the 37” tall Nitto mud grappler tires mounted on 22” Moto metal black rims. The folks at Pro Comp suspension provided the 6” suspension lift. It features a MX 2.75c series coil over front shocks and MX6 adjustable rear shocks. In case you are wondering, how you would get in this thing, Bestop has built a running board step that raises and lowers automatically when you open and close the doors. A smaller step folds down manually just in front of the rear tires. This helps you reach the custom-made roof rack cargo basket. The cargo basket has Rigid

Is it practical? – Maybe not, but it sure would look cool to take it fishing and show off to your buddies.

50” LED lights recessed in the front, back and sides, giving plenty of light to see all around. The canopy is built by Leer and has painted fiberglass panels replacing the windows. The rear is truly unique. The canopy gate and vehicle tailgate are connected and attached to a rolling platform that slides out to carry a beverage fridge, tool compartment, fishing tackle, and more! It looks like a showroom out of a fishing store. The cabin features all black factory leather seats with a custom made center console. Instead of cup holders, a panel of switches takes its place where the driver can easily access the various powered equipment. The dash features a graphic montage of fish skeletons to get you in the mood. The door panels are equipped with twin speakers and a fish finder monitor. I guess you would have to dip the front tire in the river to make it work.

Rudy Johnson has made good use of his almost 92 years of living. Ken Buchanan and Michelle Pelletier photos
A sense of adventure, a vision for the future and a practical mind ANNIE GALLANT Observer Reporter
R
udy Johnson is a great storyteller and he has many, many stories to tell. In the last few years, Rudy, who still lives with his wife Helen in their own home, has enjoyed the company and assistance of a housekeeper Adele Hamilton who loved to look at the family’s old photographs and listen to Rudy’s stories. “You should write a book,” she’d tell him. Well, thanks to Adele’s repeated assertion and the recordings she made of his storytelling, along with several other family members and close friends, Rudy’s story is finally in print. Simply titled Rudy Johnson, the book is a marvellous record of not only his personal journey from the time he was born in 1922, his arrival in Canada, his early years and finally his move to the Cariboo in 1947 and all the adventures he’s had in 92 years of
living, but also chronicles the development of specifically the Williams Lake area but also Cariboo North in general. Rudy admits he’s kept a journal of his life since about age 13 but also admitted he’d lost most of them. “I was busy with a lot of things and moved around a lot, so the journals would get lost or destroyed, I never imagined I’d write a book,” he said in a phone interview from his home in Williams Lake. His son Randy became the custodian of Adele’s recordings and with the help of his wife Donna the job of sorting through and forming a book began. From the first time he watched a logging operation in the Lower Mainland after arriving from Sweden, Rudy knew he wanted to be a logger. The allure of life in the Cariboo and the tremendous logging opportunities drew this ambitious, tenacious and very hard-working man, his wife and their growing
family to the Williams Lake area. Through the pages of the book, Rudy’s life story is revealed and the public is provided a glimpse at the events, activities, businesses and forwardthinking which shaped his actions and choices. “When I came here in 1947 I saw lots of good timber, a nice climate and a good place to live,” he said. “Helen and I had come here hunting before moving here and the family adapted to life in the Cariboo very well.” Rudy was a pilot, a prospector, a sawmill owner, a rancher as well as the force behind the construction of the Rudy Johnson bridge across the Fraser River which he completed in 1968. Of all his many accomplishments, Rudy says building the bridge was his most notable. After the government’s bridge engineer told him it couldn’t be done, that provided the incentive for Rudy to prove him wrong. He purchased a
redundant bridge in Alaska, had it shipped first by water to Prince Rupert, then by train to Prince George and finally by several trucks to the site. Rudy, who was by this time quite skilled at figuring out how to accomplish what he needed done, drafted up plans for the construction of the foundation for the bridge and how he would span the Fraser River. With the help of a friend who was an engineer, Rudy was granted permission to construct the bridge. “One whole wall in the bedroom was covered in drawings of what I wanted to do in building the bridge,” Rudy said. “The engineer looked them over and said he wouldn’t change a thing and agreed my plans would work. “It was six months from when the bridge arrived on site to completion. We had a four-man crew and myself.” A few years after completion, Rudy sold the bridge to the government
and it’s still in use today. The family often drives out to admire the bridge. People are astounded to meet the man who built it. At 92, Rudy is far from idle. Although he’s given up most of his businesses (and there were a lot of them), his mind is still very active. About four years ago he put forth his proposal for an alternate route down into the Bella Coola Valley which would have reduced the current 18 per cent grade on the existing road to a six per cent grade on his proposed route and would cut off about 20 – 25 miles. Rudy also suggested a pipeline route, straight west from Prince George to Bella Coola which would have cut off about 150 miles of other proposed routes. “Bella Coola has all the elements of a great deep sea port with better in and out access than Prince Rupert,” Rudy said. “I’ve talked to several ferry pilots and they agree its a perfect outlet to the
Pacific Ocean. “There’s projects I keep telling the village (Williams Lake) about things they should be thinking about but they don’t think far enough ahead.” Together with his still very active wife Helen, Rudy continues to see so much untapped potential and beauty in the Cariboo. The couple will celebrate 72 years of marriage this year. “It’s been a great partnership for all that time,” Rudy said. To meet the author, visit the Quesnel Library Nov. 29, beginning at 1 p.m. Rudy will be selling, signing and speaking about his book titled Rudy Johnson and looks forward to meeting people in Quesnel, many of whom have connections to the places and businesses named in the book. To purchase a copy of the book (should you be unable to make it to the library) e-mail Randy Johnson at dcp_ mcwynd@shaw.ca.

QAG looking to raise profile of the arts in Quesnel ANNIE GALLANT Observer Reporter Quesnel Art Gallery (QAG) is operated by a volunteer committee who are busy all the time with affairs of the gallery and gift shop. However, this all hinges on the support from the community. “Arts and culture are an important element in any community and needs to be supported just as other aspects, equally important, receive support such as sports activities,” QAG volunteer Olive Walsh said. In order to better serve arts in the community, the QAG committee is fundraising with a specific goal in mind. “Not only do we want to raise the profile of the arts in Quesnel and surrounding areas but we also see hiring a gallery/gift shop manager,” QAG committee member Betty Watson said. “There’s so much that could be done to create a vibrant arts component in the community.” The committee is currently working on a proposal for ArtsVest, a Business for the Arts’ signature matching incentive and sponsorship training program. They could receive up to $5,000 in matching funds if they can secure support from local businesses (minimum of $200) either in cash or in-kind contributions. Community Futures has already donated $250.
Adopt a Shelter Cat! If you can give a homeless cat a second chance at happiness, please visit your local shelter today.
Watson said they plan to do a doorto-door campaign seeking support. “We’re also looking to expand our online presence through more active social media,” Walsh said. “As well we want to build a closer more productive relationship with City Hall including establishing an arts committee to promote and foster the arts both inside the community and beyond our borders.” The QAG has a full slate of shows planned for 2015 and local emerging and existing artists should start thinking about submissions to the juried February show Art from the Heart.

Prepare Far Ahead for Long-Term Care Costs Long-Term Care is not something many Canadians consider, given the existence of our health care system however, the need to prepare for the potentially devastating costs of long-term care are an important part of your financial strategy. In the event of a long term care need, you want to make sure you have flexibility and choice in meeting your long term care requirements and not have to access your retirement funds to do so the more you know about these expenses, the better prepared you will be to deal with them. Just how expensive is long-term care? Consider this: According to a study by McMaster University in 2012 titled "The Private Cost of Long-Term Care in Canada: Where You Live Matters", depending on where you live, the private cost of long term care in Canada can range from $21,098 per year in Quebec to $47,450 per year in Prince Edward Island if both spouses are in long-term care facilities. B.C.'s average came in at $32,923 per year.1 Long-term care costs have risen steadily over the past several years, with no indication that they will level off. Many people, when they think about long-term care at all, believe that the government will pay these costs — but that’s just not the case. Typically, provincial governments only cover a small percentage of longterm care expenses, which means you will have to take responsibility to fund your own long term care needs. Of course, if you are fortunate, you may go through life without ever needing to enter a nursing home or an assisted living facility, or even needing help from a home health-care aide. But given the costs involved, can you afford to jeopardize your financial independence, your retirement plans — or, impose a potential burden on your grown children? To prevent these events, you will need to create a strategy to pay for long-term care expenses — even if you never incur them. Basically, you have two options: You could self-insure, and use the assets you already have in place to fund the costs, or you could “transfer the risk” to an insurer. If you were going to self-insure, you would need to set aside a considerable sum of money, as indicated by the costs mentioned above. And you would likely need to invest a reasonably high percentage of this money in growth-oriented investments. If you chose this self-insurance route, but you never really needed a significant amount of long-term care, you could simply use the bulk of the money for your normal living expenses during retirement and earmark the remainder for your estate. However, if you do need many years of nursing home or facility care, you could end up going through all your money. As an alternative, you could transfer the risk of paying for long-term care to an insurance company. Many plans are available these days, so, to find the solution that is appropriate for your needs, you will want to consult with a professional financial advisor. Take note, though: The premiums for this type of protection rise as you get older, and your health is taken into consideration so, if you are considering adding this coverage, you may be better off by acting sooner, rather than later. None of us can know with certainty what the future holds for us. Ideally, you will always remain in good shape, both mentally and physically, with the ability to take care of yourself. But, as you’ve heard, it’s best to “hope for the best, but plan for the worst.” So, take the lessons of Long-Term Care awareness to heart and start preparing yourself for every scenario.

Little has changed since the Great War
The date in King Albert’s Book says Christmas 1914. The contributors number in the dozens with names such as H.H AGA Khan, The Right Honourable Arthur J. Balfour and addresses such as #10 Downing Street Whitehall. Such accolades they showered on King Albert. King Albert of Belgium was honoured by his peers throughout the realm with a Tribute to the Belgian King and people from representative men and women throughout the World. And I quote, from the Introduction to King Albert’s Book: The immediate object of this book is to offer, in the names and by the pens of a large group of the representative men and women of the
PAST TIME civilized countries, a tribute of admiration to Belgium, on the heroic and evermemorable share she has taken in the war which now convulses Europe and at the same time to invoke the world’s sympathy, its help and its prayers for the gallant little nation in the vast sorrow of its present condition. Those were the days long before Facebook, Twitter and even television. With quotes, paragraphs, poetry and pictures, this tome was put together to aid Belgium in its fight against tyranny. It
was used to raise much-needed funds to help the country in its time of trouble. The language is one from a place in time where words were used to convey concern and consternation over the situation in Europe and in particular, Belgium. Hundreds of thousands of pounds were given to the Belgians, as well as the proceeds from the sale of this book. As we enter another era of discord, it is disconcerting to say the least at how little has actually changed after the War to End All Wars. I shall leave you with this quote by Sir Valentine Chirol: It is a privilege to join in any tribute to King Albert and his people. King Albert is the only sovereign whose royal title is
not a territorial one. He is styled King, not King of Belgium but of the Belgians: as if it had been preordained that though a ruthless conqueror might rob him for a time of his kingdom, none should ever rob him of his kingship. Never perhaps more proudly than today, when his Government has been compelled to seek refuge on the hospitable soil of France and he himself, at the head of his indomitable
army, is fighting close to the French frontier for the last inch of Belgian territory, has King Albert vindicated his right to a splendid title: King of the Belgians, heroic head of an heroic people. Hope to see you as you “pass time” at the Quesnel and District Museum. Honey Affleck is chair of the Quesnel and District Museum Commission and regular Observer contributor.

Seven game winning streak for Blue Collar
T
Getting ready for the games Three local ringette players are taking on the 2015 Winter Games, teaming up with other players across the province to form the Team B.C. Ringette team. The team was busy preparing for the games last weekend, with the players getting together to practice Nov. 15 – 16 in Quesnel. The team was at the rink early Saturday morning for a 6 a.m. practice. The players then travelled to Prince George for an afternoon of training. The team followed this up by running a skills clinic for the North U14 ‘AA’ players, then it was back to Quesnel for these athletes for an evening practice. The final practice for the players was held early Sunday morning at the Twin Arenas. This served as the only training session in the North that Team B.C. will have before participating in the Canada Winter Games beginning in February. The three local ringette players take a moment from their busy practice schedule to pose for a picture; from left to right: Hannah Young, Colleen Moorehouse and Jessica MacDonald.

he big Blue Collar machine continues it’s unprecedented winning streak that is now at seven with a 5-3 defeat of Serenity as Fraser River ices the Bears by a 3-1 Steve Dodge count. PAPERBACK WRITER The Juggernaut known as BCS extended their winning streak to a magnificent seven with their 5-3 defeat of Serenity who are also on a seven game streak, of the losing kind. BCS has actually entered the rarefied FHL air as only two squads, the 1994 Black team with nine and the 2009 Red team with 10 have more wins in a row. Once again topping the polls for the penthouse patrons were a trio of players who play totally different and highly effective styles, much to their opponents chagrin. Scoring twice thanks to his dazzling speed was Ian Hawerchuk Hannah as Colin Kesler Keis used his grit to muscle in a pair with Scott Foote Fairless scoring once and adding three assists from his rear-guard position that he patrols with a steely conviction. Replying for the Builders who are only one wall short of stability was George Popeye Paul who let his line mates do all the work before he stuffed the ballot box as King Henry Boal scored an unassisted beauty with Joel have stick, will travel Marsh collecting his third goal in two games. Meanwhile, back in the Bear Den, the Communicators pre game strategic plan indicated that success would only unfold if they kept league scoring leader Kevin Howitzer Hesslegrave from finding the twine. They were fruitful in that regard, but they failed to keep Jason Junior Johnson in check as he scored a pair to power Fraser River to a 3-1 victory. Also scoring for the Chevy Crew was Wade Rivers Price who continues to impress both on the score sheet and the vocabulary front. Playing a whale of a game between the pipes for GM was Trevor Gordie Howe who used his rapier like glove hand to make several scintillating saves on what appeared to be labelled shots. Nixing the shut-out bid was Bear’s Lee Nitro Naeth who scored his 14th of the season on a late game scramble that featured a myriad of whiffed clearing attempts before the puck trickled over the line.

B.C. NEWS
Government pitches LNG spin-offs
TOM FLETCHER Black Press The B.C. government has launched a website it says will help spread the benefits of liquefied natural gas development to businesses around the province. Jobs Minister Shirley Bond unveiled the website at www.LNGBuyBC.ca Tuesday, with 300 B.C. businesses signed up with details of their goods and services. Representatives of two of those businesses visited the B.C. legislature to endorse the effort. Janice Shaben is a partner with her husband Gord in Terrace-based Silvertip Promotions and Signs. She said LNG companies are already active in the northwest and her company has landed some business deals by direct meetings. She is also president of the Terrace Chamber of Commerce, with more than 300 member businesses. "I'm going to encour-
age all my businesses in town to make sure they get connected, because by registering your company on the website, it allows you to showcase what you're capable of doing, what services you're able to provide," Shaben said. Devon Siebenga, president of Kelowna-based BigSteelBox Structures, brought one of his company's portable worker accommodation units with him. Converted from a steel shipping container, the unit contains two of what Siebenga termed "executive suites" with granite countertops and in-suite washrooms. "We're setting out to change the way people look at workforce accommodations and modular structures," Siebenga said. Bond said the liquefied natural gas industry could create 100,000 jobs in the province. Companies that register at the website enter details of their goods and services and the system matches them up with needs listed by
Janice Shaben, president of the Terrace Chamber of Commerce, says her sign and promotion company has already received some orders from LNG proponents in northwestern B.C. Tom Fletcher/Black Press photo energy and construction companies. The government hired former NDP cabinet minister Gordon Wilson to tour the province promot-
ing B.C. business participation in LNG projects. Wilson stressed that aboriginal communities and companies will be at the front of the line.
"Companies when they come in, will let you know First Nations business trumps all other because they want to make sure First Nations are
properly engaged in this process," Wilson told the Prince Rupert and District Chamber of Commerce Oct. 15. "I think that is only proper and correct."

I’ll always love you more than words can say.

Drinking age laws have effect on collisions among young drivers
Minimum legal drinking age legislation in Canada can have a major impact on young drivers, according to a new study from the Northern Medical Program at the University of Northern British Columbia (UNBC). Drivers just older than the legal age had a significant increase in motor vehicle crashes compared to those immediately under the restriction. In the study, published this week in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine, Dr. Russ Callaghan and his research team looked at Quebec motor vehicle collision statistics between 2000 and 2012 which involved young drivers. They found that, compared to those just below legal age, there was an abrupt increase of 6 per cent in collisions for drivers at or above the minimum legal drinking age (MLDA). This increase was even more marked at night when collisions increased by 11 per cent immediately at the minimum legal drinking age. “As soon as youth are given legal access to alcohol, there are immediate effects on the road,” says Dr. Callaghan, lead author and an associate professor in the Northern Medical Program. At present time, the minimum legal drinking age is 18 years of age in Alberta, Manitoba, and Québec, and 19 years in the rest of Canada. Recently, the Canadian Public Health Association and a national expert-panel working group have recommended that the legal drinking age be raised to 19 years across the country. “Our research provides current information for both Canadian and international policymakers to draw on when considering alcohol policy reform and the effectiveness of
MLDA legislation,” says Callaghan. “Drinking-age laws can have major consequences on
driving safety and are an important part of contemporary alcohol-control and driving-related poli-
cies designed to limit the motor vehicle collisions in youth.” According to the research, raising
the drinking age to 19 years in Québec would prevent 337 police-reported collisions per year that
involved at least one 18-year old driver. If it were raised to 21 years, it could be expected that approx-
imately 583 policereported collisions per year could be prevented for drivers between 18 and 20.
