Attempted abduction averted An adult female was approached by a male in a car asking her to get into his vehicle. Shortly before 9 a.m. on Thursday, Oct. 8 a male, described as approximately 60 years of age, caucasian, with grey hair, and wearing a red and grey sweater approached an adult female on the 400 block of Elliot Street and told her to get in his car and he would give her a ride. The female told the male no but he asked again. The female again replied no and this time the male drove away. The vehicle driven by the male is described as a small blue car. No make or licence plate was obtained. RCMP are asking for anyone who may have witnessed this incident to contact them at 250992-9211 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222TIPS (8477).

Reaching cost reduction goals means more cutbacks to services
Late last week council announced cutbacks to services, in order to reach its cost reduction goals. “As part of its continuing efforts to ensure Quesnel remains a vibrant and resilient community through this transition period, Council has continued to focus on reducing the City’s operating costs and this week we’re announcing some staff and service changes that will help us achieve our target
of $525,000 in cost reductions for the 2016 budget”, Mayor Bob Simpson said. Earlier this year, Quesnel City Council implemented staff changes at City Hall that will result in a net savings of approximately $250,000 starting in 2016. This week Council announced further program and service changes in an effort to achieve the remainder of its target-

ed cost reductions for 2016. These changes include: • Taking advantage of an attrition opportunity to restructure administrative staff at the RCMP detachment; • changing the hours of operation at the Quesnel and District Museum to seasonal (May to September) rather than yearround; • renegotiating the contract for the Quesnel and
District Visitors Center; and, • making changes to residential garbage pickup and landfill operating hours. Starting the week of Nov. 16, residential garbage pick-up will occur every two weeks rather than weekly. Also starting Nov. 16, the landfill will be closed Mondays and statutory holidays with the exception of Boxing Day.
Good day, Quesnel. Thanks for reading — and that includes loyal subscriber D. Service! To join the Observer family, please call 250-992-2121 and ask for circulation.
Bi-weekly residential garbage pick-up will be aligned with MMBC’s recycling materials pick-up, the revised schedule will be posted on the city’s website shortly. “The changes to residential garbage pick-up frequency and landfill operating hours are the first steps in Council’s review of our entire waste management system,” Simpson said. “Council’s overarch-
ing goal is to develop and implement a comprehensive waste reduction and recycling strategy that will simultaneously achieve environmental, climate change, and cost reduction objectives.” “This week’s announced changes to staffing, service levels and operating hours are all part of Council’s commitment to ensure that the City of Quesnel is fiscally prudent and sustainable.”

Council hears master plan for parks
After hearing the Executive Summary recommendations for the draft Master Parks Plan (“Plan”), Council asked staff to bring forward a report to the Oct. 2122 Strategic Planning sessions. This report will remove the Plan’s recommendations that are already in progress by the city and will group recommendations that have not been commenced according to the corporation’s strategic goals with the focus aimed at reducing operational spending while strategically enhancing the city’s green spaces/parks within the City’s capital budget planning process.
Parking bylaw Over the past eight months, the Policy and Bylaw Review Committee has been reviewing and updating the City’s Street, Traffic and Parking Bylaw (“Bylaw”). The proposed new Bylaw will consoli-
date and update six previous bylaws dating back to 1965. The main areas of focus have been regulations around antiidling of vehicles on public property and obstruction of sidewalks when soliciting on streets/sidewalks. Vehicles parked on public property shall not idle a vehicle for longer than five consecutive minutes, with a few exceptions such as emergency vehicles or vehicles actively loading/unloading passengers. Sidewalk traffic cannot be obstructed by a person squatting, kneeling, sitting, or lying down, with a few exceptions such as a medical emergency. This Bylaw also includes a $150 fine for illegally parked vehicles in an Accessible/Handicapped Parking spot. Council passed the first three bylaw readings of this Bylaw. Council and staff will work to promote these changes to the general public.
Ticketing bylaw Council approved the first three readings of the proposed Municipal Ticketing Information Bylaw (“Bylaw”) that will update the City’s ticket and fine structures dating from 1995. This proposed bylaw introduces escalating fines for repeat offences in areas such as noise, aggressive dogs and nuisance property violations.
Theatre reserve Council passed the first three readings of the Community Theatre Statutory Reserve (“Bylaw”). This proposed bylaw will allow the city to issue tax receipts for donations, over $100, that will be allocated for the future creation of a community theatre.

Ten Mile receives infrastructure investment Quesnel anglers can now enjoy fishing more easily and more often thanks to the installation of a new fishing dock at Ten Mile Lake. Now everyone from avid anglers who wish to fit in a quick hour of fishing to new anglers who don’t have access to a boat – will be able to enjoy fishing on the lake. The dock is named Gord’s Fishing Dock after longstanding Park Facility Operator Gord Brownell. “Adding dock access to Ten Mile Lake is an exciting step in removing barriers for people wishing to enjoy the angling experience and it’s especially meaningful to name it after someone so well known in the community for having a passion for fishing,” Dana Atagi, vicepresident, Freshwater Fisheries Society of B.C. said. “A dock makes it possible for people to be catching fish in less time and with less expense which is encouraging for people interested in trying the sport. “It’s an extension of Mr. Brownell’s legacy that we hope will result in more people enjoying the sport.” Gord Brownell
“A dock makes it possible for people to be catching fish in less time and with less expense which is encouraging for people interested in trying the sport.” Dana Atagi
was Park Facility Operator at Ten Mile Lake Provincial park for 10 years. In that time he keenly shared his love of fishing with everyone and was known for his willingness to take extra time to help children and beginners discover the sport. The dock has been named in Brownell’s memory and a sign has been posted in tribute to him. Located adjacent to the boat launch in Ten Mile Provincial Park, dock installation coincides with fall fishing season when fish are more catchable from a dock, as trout move on to the shoals to feed. The Society stocks Ten Mile Lake with 50,000 rainbow trout fry and 25,000 kokanee fry every
year. As of April 1, under a new agreement with the provincial government, the Freshwater Fisheries Society of B.C. receives 100 per cent of fishing licence revenue to invest in infrastructure and services to support freshwater fishing in B.C. With the increased revenue, the Society is investing in additional research and infrastructure projects across the province, including new docks to make access to angling easier. Easier access to popular fishing spots and stocked lakes supports the Society’s goal to reduce barriers to the sport of angling, resulting in greater angler participation. To further reduce barriers to the sport, rods and gear are available to borrow for free from the Quesnel Visitor Centre. Jointly sponsored by the Freshwater Fisheries Society, Habitat Conservation Trust Foundation and Rapala, the Rod Loan Program gives interested individuals or groups an opportunity to try angling before investing in rods and tackle. It also makes angling available to

visitors who often do not pack their fishing gear with them. Anglers 16 or older are required to purchase a freshwater fishing licence. The Freshwater Fisheries Society of B.C is working with partners to install docks near urban centres and in regional and provincial parks throughout the province. Improving access to popular angling lakes leaves a legacy for current and future anglers and dovetails with the Society stocking program and rod loan program. Gord’s Fishing Dock is a result of a partnership between Habitat Conservation Trust Foundation, B.C. Parks, Freshwater Fisheries Society of B.C., Quesnel Rod and Gun Club and anglers whose fishing licence fees contribute to the dock program. This year, docks have been installed in nine communities throughout B.C. where dock fishing was previously unavailable or shore fishing was poor. Docks have been placed over shoals or drop-off areas to maximize angler success. The Freshwater Fisheries Society of
B.C. was created in 2003 as a private, not-for-profit organization, funded mainly through freshwater fishing licence revenues. In partnership with the Province, the Society annually stocks eight million trout, char and kokanee salmon in 800 B.C. lakes. It also manages special hatchery programs for endangered species including white sturgeon, conducts fisheries research, education and conservation programs and works to make angling more accessible for all. Details about the Society programs can be found at www. gofishbc.com. The Habitat Conservation Trust Foundation (HCTF) began as an initiative of the anglers, hunters, trappers and guide outfitters of B.C. Since 1981, HCTF has provided more than $155 million in grants for more than 2,000 projects benefitting B.C.’s fish, wildlife and habitats. The Foundation will be accepting applications for funding in October: information on grants and HCTF projects and programs can be found at hctf.ca.

CAPSULE COMMENTS With Jessica Joly B.Sc. (Pharm)
Designing the flu shot each year can be quite difficult and sometimes the result is less than perfect. Last year’s flu shot was one of those. This year the vaccine will be a better match for the circulating viruses. These vaccines are never 100% effective but even at 50-60%, thy give pretty good odds for not getting the flu. As pharmacists, we are often asked if it’s OK to get the flu shot when one has a cold. Colds and other minor illnesses do not affect the vaccine’s effectiveness. Just a reminder: it does take about two weeks for our bodies to develop antibodies against the flu. Advances in healthcare are slow and steady and we often forget what our ancestors had to deal with. For example, in the early 20th century, one in seven children died before the age of 2 and deaths during childbirth were quite common. Polio, smallpox and measles were the case of many child deaths. Today, these diseases has virtually disappeared. Ibuprofen is a pain-reliever and anti-inflammatory drug that is available without prescription. Health Canada has issued a warning of the increased risk of heart attack and stroke with high doses of ibuprofen. High doses means amounts over 1200 mg per day. Don’t hesitate to ask questions that will help you get the most out of your medications. Use the educational resources of our pharmacist staff.

Northern Exposure Conference colouring work experience for duo As the communities of Wells and Barkerville get ready to host the Northern Exposure Conference, two people from Wells have been getting work experience in arts and culture administration with the Island Mountain Arts Society. Amanda Woods and Leila Sumi helped organize the conference, gaining skills in research, website management and database management. They also helped recruit volunteers for the conference, which runs from Oct. 9 - 11, 2015. The pair is also developing a “howto” manual for the creation of future arts conferences in northern rural communities. The six-month project is scheduled to wrap up in early December 2015. The Island Mountain Arts Society received $10,500 from the Province to help Amanda and Leila get this on-thejob work experience. This project is funded through the Community and Employer Partnerships program, which was introduced in April 2012 as part of the Employment Program of BC. The Northern Exposure Conference provides support, professional development and networking for rural arts creators, producers, presenters, animators and administrators in order to spark inspiration, exchange knowledge, learn new skills, and develop partnerships. Government is taking action to address the rapidly changing labour market. Government created the B.C. Skills for Jobs Blueprint to ensure more British Columbians have the skills they need to be first in line for in-demand jobs in B.C.’s diverse, strong and growing economy. The Community and Employer Partnerships program is featured in B.C.’s Skills for Jobs Blueprint and provides more support to people who are
struggling to gain a foothold in the job market. It helps build stronger partnerships with industry and labour to connect British Columbians with classroom and on-the-job training, while making it easier for employers to hire the skilled workers they need - when and where they need them. To date, the program has helped
more than 800 job seekers benefit from work experience and funded nearly 180 projects throughout the province. “The arts and culture sector is such an important part of B.C.’s strong, diverse econom,” Coralee Oakes, MLA for Cariboo North, Minister of Small Business and Red Tape Reduction said. “This Community and Employer
Partnership is giving work experience to two people who are gaining experience in the arts and culture sector. “The arts and culture manual that Amanda and Leila are producing will have a positive impact on the community, giving the area a blueprint for hosting similar events in the future.” “This program provided a great opportunity for Island
Mountain Arts to deliver a new project, the Northern Exposure Conference, which will bring together rural arts and culture organizers from the Central Interior and beyond,” Julie Fowler, executive director, Island Mountain Arts said. “It also gives us a chance to help two local residents build their skills and get work experience. The conference will have
a great impact on the development of the arts and culture industry in our region and provide an economic impact on the community of Wells, with almost 100 people descending on the town for a weekend. This project will leave a lasting legacy for our organization and our community.” “This program has been an amazing experience,” Woods added.
“Being involved with an organization such as Island Mountain Arts, dedicated to the development of arts and culture in the region and beyond, has allowed me to experience, firsthand, the impact that the arts has on a community. “This opportunity has allowed me to develop a unique skill set and create new possibilities for my future.”

ELECTION 2015
RUNNING Shoes Check out our
Vote could spark marijuana reform
Come in for a personalized fitting today. Website
Is legal pot about to bloom or be nipped in the bud? JEFF NAGEL Black Press This election may decide whether Canada makes a historic leap toward marijuana reform or remains a legal battleground between cannabis advocates and a resistant federal government. Under the federal Conservatives, Ottawa has long argued pot is dangerous, unproven as a medicine, and a serious risk to youth if legal access grows. The government has only allowed possession by authorized medical marijuana users after courts ruled in 2000 they have a right to reasonable access. Since then, tens of thousands of Canadians became approved users and many got federal permits to grow it themselves. Cities grew anxious about the explosion of often unsafe legal grow-ops in their midst. That was one reason the Conservatives tried in 2014 to outlaw home growing of medical pot and force users to buy only via mail order from a new group of approved commercial producers. Corporate growers have rushed to carve up the market while pot activists and lawyers have fought to defend and widen the ability for anyone to grow and sell the stuff. Nowhere has that battle been more obvious than in Vancouver, where more than 100 medical pot dispensaries have opened, illegally selling weed in contravention of federal law, but largely unmolested by police. Vancouver and other cities aim to regulate retail pot stores themselves. Ottawa wants them closed instead and threatened to send in the RCMP. Meanwhile, time seems on the side of legalization advocates, who say the drug can be regulated and taxed much like

alcohol rather than feeding organized crime. Societal attitudes have shifted as a growing number of voters accept the case for reform. A new Insights West poll found 65 per cent national support to legalize marijuana, with 30 per cent opposed. More than two-thirds believe pot has legitimate health benefits and that legalizing and taxing it would generate needed government revenue, while allowing police to focus on other priorities. As more U.S. states legalize recreational marijuana – Washington has been joined by Colorado, Oregon and Alaska – B.C.’s advocates can increasingly point across the border and argue the sky has not fallen.
Where the parties stand The Conservatives insist Canada will not follow them down a road that expands drug culture and its risks, instead promising to fund more RCMP anti-drug operations. Conservative leader Stephen Harper upped the rhetoric this month when he called marijuana “infinitely worse” than tobacco in terms of damage to health, a claim contradicted by health experts, though they say pot poses elevated risks for teens.
The NDP would immediately decriminalize pot – leader Tom Mulcair says no one should have a criminal record for personal use – and then study further legalization options. The Greens would legalize, regulate and tax it. Their platform banks on about $5 billion a year in marijuana tax revenue. Under leader Justin Trudeau, the Liberals were the first major party to promise outright legalization and regulation, though they haven’t yet budgeted any tax revenue. They argue legal, tightly regulated marijuana can be kept out of kids’ hands as effectively as booze and cigarettes. “Oct. 19 is a pretty big day for cannabis policy in this country,” says lawyer Kirk Tousaw, who has led multiple challenges of federal marijuana regulations. He credits Trudeau with being most upfront in promising legalization at a time when many politicians remain gun shy, but believes both the Liberals and NDP would deliver major change. A key issue if reform comes, he said, is whether anyone can grow their own pot – and even sell it at farmer’s markets – rather than just buying from corporate growers and dealers. “My view is if you don’t have a right to
grow your own cannabis you don’t live in a place where it’s actually legal.” A re-elected Conservative government could face further proliferation of illegal retail stores – forcing Ottawa to either crack down or else concede de facto legalization in parts of the country.
that win looks like is probably going to be strongly influenced by what government is sitting in Ottawa.” A re-elected Harper government confronted by more court defeats could still make medical pot access as difficult as possible by tightly regulating the amount that can be legally possessed or grown. “Every time the courts have held a facet of the medical cannabis program in this country to be unconstitutional, the government has responded by doing the absolute minimum it can to comply with what the court has said,” Tousaw said. Which is why pot reformers prefer a swift victory at the ballot box to clear the legal haze.

Court challenges continue A Tory victory would also continue the legal chess game between pot proponents and federal lawyers, at a rising cost to taxpayers. The Supreme Court of Canada unanimously ruled in June that medical marijuana can legally be possessed or sold in the form of cookies, other edibles and derivatives, not just dried bud. So far, the government response has been to permit commercial producers to sell only medical pot oils at a low THC dosage, not other edibles. A Federal Court judge will rule soon on another challenge – also argued by Tousaw – over whether medical patients can keep growing their own pot. That decision could deal another blow to the new commercial production system. “It could go either way,” Tousaw said. “Even if it’s a win for the patients, what

Learn to do by doing A
long time ago, I read that one of the problems in agriculture is that children used to learn practical mechanical things by hanging around the blacksmith shops and watching new things being made along side the making and shaping of horseshoes. There are few if any blacksmith shops in our towns and villages. There are the fabricating shops, which do some of the same things, but kids can’t just hang around and learn like they used to. The point is that young people need to learn by doing. You can read a book or study the texts but one really needs to get hands onto the things and work them, make them, form them. I found that at my ranch, the more tools and equipment we had, such as welding equipment, big vices and anvils for pounding steel, the handier the boys became. I learned so much at my uncle’s elbow while he helped me adapt a mower to a tractor, or straighten a bent axle. My forge, which beats cutting torches for heating larger pieces of metal, has taught many young people how to bend steel without weakening it by bending it cold. Those experiences might just steer a youngster to engineering of one kind or another. Some historians credit agriculture and the smithing shops with many of the inventions, which went on to be the foundation of the industrial revolution. Good or bad, tools were powerful and the shaped and sharp plowshares helped feed growing populations. New cultural practices, like new technologies and machines, need to be learned by trial, by demonstration, and by adoption from those who dare to lead. –Black Press
Seeing the forest and the trees T
here was a flurry of excitement in the B.C. legislature last week, as Delta South independent MLA Vicki Huntington released documents suggesting that a multinational manufacturing company continued to buy up B.C. farms for carbon offsets after they said last June they would stop. False alarm, as it turns out. Agriculture Minister Norm Letnick clarified that three more farms in the Peace and Cariboo region had indeed been bought, but the company was merely following legal advice to close deals on farms that it had already agreed to purchase. The company, Britishbased cleaning product and pharmaceutical maker Reckitt Benckiser (RB) confirmed this. A company official reiterated that its program to buy farms and replant them with trees is suspended. By the time the B.C. government became aware of this global public relations scheme, thanks to the work of NDP MLA Lana Popham and others, about 10,000 hectares of farmland was already planted with seedlings. RB initially said they were

B.C. Views buying up abandoned and unproductive farms, but local government officials disputed that. RB soon realized that undermining already precarious farming communities was going to provide the opposite of the green publicity they sought, at least in B.C. The company told me it is now looking to switch its carbon offset program to replanting forest areas depleted by pine beetle and fire. I’ll believe that when I see it, but on the face of it, this sounds almost as questionable as converting farmland back to forests. Pine forests need fire to regenerate, so fires have been part of the regeneration of the ecosystem since the retreat of the last Ice Age. Beetle-kill areas are already coming back, and they were never completely denuded in any case, so
for much, although results are generally good when they follow up with onthe-ground audits of actual timber harvest areas. The investigation found that many of the plans cover “vast and overlapping areas of the province, and were written using legal language that makes them very difficult for public understanding or review.” Little has changed since a similar finding in 2006. During that time, the forests ministry was turned into Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations, with greatly increased responsibility over wildlife, mining, gas drilling and so on. Columbia RiverRevelstoke MLA Norm Macdonald, who traveled the province as NDP forests critic in recent years, says the problem now is there just aren’t enough people on the ground to assess what’s going on in our huge expanse of Crown land. Meanwhile the city media covers professional protesters issuing demands about the Walbran Valley. Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press.

the notion of manual planting these areas seems impractical. Most are now criss-crossed with deadfall and all but impassible. Another situation that received little public attention was a report issued late this summer by the B.C. Forest Practices Board about forest stewardship plans. The board reviewed 43 stewardship plans from all regions of B.C., prepared as required under provincial law by forest tenure holders on Crown land. They are supposed to deal with things like where roads go and how streams are protected. This is the management system put in place in 2003, when the B.C. Liberal government changed its approach to forest management. Gone was the NDP’s infamous sevenvolume “Forest Practices Code,” which attempted to micromanage every detail of a timber licence, right down to inspecting for litter left at a logging site. In came “results-based” forest management, where licence holders had to produce a plan showing stream protection and other values. The Forest Practices Board has found these plans often aren’t good

Kersley school’s fate could be changed with a stroke of the pen
Editor: I appreciate the financial difficulty the Quesnel School District is in and I understand that hard decisions are about to be made. I have read the Cornerstone report and grasp that the district can save several hundred thousand dollars – perhaps close to a million – with combinations of recommended school closures. I understand, as the report declares openly, that doing nothing is “not an option.” All around the district, families of children in potentially affected schools are discussing the report and what it might mean for their sons and daughters.
Letters to the Editor
It is no different in our home, as our daughters attend Kersley School. Cornerstone offered four combinations of elementary schools for closure, with Kersley featured in three. Though I bear the Cornerstone researchers no malice, they are not from Kersley and have no appreciation for our school’s history, its place in our community and the underlying reasons for the school’s decline. That is why they have suggested no other outcomes for our embattled little school beyond euthanasia. Therefore, I will make a case for Kersley School and how it could be saved with no more cost than a good eraser
and a new pencil. The Cornerstone report suggests that Kersley “has one of the highest costs per student in the district and is underutilized” though nowhere is the physical plant or the condition of the building called into question. For Kersley, it would seem the problem is simply a lack of students. Yet what the report does not explain is why Kersley is currently “underutilized”, why it is so short on students. Quite simply, Kersley is underutilized because students who should attend the school are bussed to Lakeview every day as a matter of district catchment policy. These are students living
far closer to Kerlsey than to Lakeview and not by a little bit. By drawing the lines as it has and refusing to alter them as the student population south of Kersley declined, the district has slowly starved Kersley of students that should have kept the school strong and vital and far outside of dire conversations like this one. If closed, Kersley will not have died of natural causes, it will have been killed. Kersley is the last of the schools that have serviced the widely dispersed population south of Quesnel for a century. Kersley and its predecessors like Sister’s Creek School served these fami-
lies well. Anyone attending the Kersley School/Sister’s Creek School reunion a few years back could not help but be struck by the deep attachment felt by the multitude of former students who made the trip to Kerlsey. Though many at the reunion did not attend this Kersley School per se, it was the rallying point for generations of former students returning to share memories of an education in community schools south of Quesnel. Kersley School became a metaphor for an education in a little school south of town, an “everyschool” for all to share because their school was gone. South of town, Kersley
is the last of the type of school that drew all those former students back. When the dust settles after this wave of closures, there will still be at least one outlying school in every cardinal direction from the centre of Quesnel – except perhaps south. The history of little schools south of town would be ended permanently with the closure of Kersley School. The refusal to simply change some lines on the map in the spirit of fairness will have terminated a proud history of schools south of town forever. It simply did not have to be this way. Rob Biller Kersley, B.C.

Vancouver pro gives the inside scoop on safety and various techniques ANNIE GALLANT Observer Reporter Hosted jointly by Quesnel Woodtruners Guild and the Prince George Woodturners Guild, The Round Up seminar and workshop, held at local woodturner Vern Richardson’s shop, saw a great turnout of more than 30 woodturners from as far away as Terrace, Prince George, Williams Lake and Kamloops. Professional woodturner, Bruce Campbell from Vancouver gave excellent demonstrations and tips on both safety and technique in woodturning. “He complimented our group, despite being relatively new, saying we stacked up very well against more established groups,” Quesnel woodturner Bob Lebeck said. Campbell also spoke about the business of crafting in general and woodturning in particular. Other demonstrators included Ron Clemmons, Art Betke and Ken Turner from Prince George and Quesnel guild president George Thompson. “Everyone came away with new ideas and renewed enthusiasm for woodturning and we look forward to another such event in the future,” Thompson said.

LIFESTYLES EARNEST AND YOUNG EMERGING ENTREPRENEUR OF THE YEAR
Trevor Styan named one of BCBusiness Top 30 Under 30 Trevor Styan, son of Ron and Julie Styan, has been honing his skills for his entire life beginning with helping in his father’s shop from a very young age. In Grade 12 he took a welder apprentice program and won a Skills Canada competition in Burnaby. Working for his uncle’s excavation business from the age of 12 gave Trevor Styan, now 28, the skills for civil construction, but the family enterprise also taught him the values for leading a successful team. “You need to be a little more humble, a little more personable and understand what motivates people,” he said. “And you have to work 120 per cent over everyone else, or you’ll never have respect.”
Styan, who was also one of this year’s Earnest and Young Emerging Entrepreneur of the Year BCBusiness Top 30 Under 30, took the leap to entrepreneurship in 2010 when he won a $1.3-million Yukon Energy contract to build the foundation for an electrical substation. “I’d never been shown how to do that sort of estimating, so I just racked my head and figured it out,” he said. By 2011, he had formed Northern Civil Energy (NCE), a Nanaimo-based construction and earth-moving company that doubled its revenue in its first two years. NCE has since completed 55 projects, with the average budget being $3.5 million (ranging up to their largest, a
$10-million property redevelopment in Winnipeg for Manitoba Hydro). In an unpredictable industry where costs can run to $30,000 a day, Styan quickly learned to be efficient. He set up mobile “tool cans”—insulated 20-foot shipping containers, each fully equipped for specific project types. “If we have a carpentry job, we’ll send a carp can—or a civil can or an office can,” Styan said. “So when the team lands on site, everything is where it should be and they aren’t fighting those variables.” NCE was also among the first civil companies in Canada to adopt data management systems that streamline esti-
mating, team and equipment scheduling, and the extensive reporting required by the utility companies. “Now the guys in the field can look at the calculations and know whether they are making or losing money and can build their job around that knowledge,” he said. Styan recently expanded into sewer and water and is considering other complementary industries, such as concrete, quality testing or engineering. But any growth, he says, will be driven by the talent on his team. “I’m not going to build a massive enterprise just for the glory of it,” he said. At 28, Trevor Styan, formerly from Quesnel, “It has to be because I have has made it in the construction industry. Contributed photo people who want to do it.”

Born in Quesnel, he grew up playing hockey and watching his uncle play for the Roos. From a young age he realized that if he wasn’t bound for the NHL, he should concentrate on work. “I found when you weren’t really going to the NHL that it
was a better decision to focus on my career than play junior hockey,” L’ Heureux said. He went to trade school at British Columbia Institute of Technology and became a journeyman, before the age of 19. L’Heureux is going into his seventh season for the Roos and fourth as captain and sees the team having a strong year. “Were going to have a very strong team for sure,” L’Heureux said. “We’re a very fast and good skating team.”
“I found when you weren’t really going to the NHL that it was a better decision to focus on my career than play junior hockey” Waylon L’Heureux
He says the Roos play a different style of game because of their ice, when you compare it
to Williams Lake or Kitimat’s, which have Olympic sized ice and admits it’s a struggle at first, but they adjust. “In a smaller rink you can afford to lay checks out, while in a bigger rink you put yourself out of the play when you lay that check out because there’s so much space,” L’ Heureux said. He agrees the Roos will be a tough team to play against. “We play our game as a gritty grinding game and got some pretty good systems going,”
L’Heureux said. He sees Williams Lake as their biggest rivalry. “Williams Lake has had a very strong hockey club for quite a few years,” L’Heureux said.” “When we battle with them, their really good games for sure. They’ve got the best of us the last couple years, which makes the guys even more determined to get the best of them this year.” While away from the ice he enjoys spending time with his family and sheep hunting.

October 11-17, 2015 ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, delve deeper to get to know a new acquaintance more closely. There is more to this person than what you will see on the surface, so don’t hesitate to connect. TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, expect to be pulled in a million directions over the next several days. Keep a cool head and you will handle this situation with the same flare you always do. GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Take a step back and reassess a particular situation this week, Gemini. A step back and a new perspective might be just what you need to make the most of this situation. CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, you sometimes have a sixth sense about you, and it guides you through the tough decisions that need to be made. Rely on your intuition for something major this week. LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, you will be the king (or queen) of your domain this week. Others will respect your final decision on many issues, and you will feel comfortable being the head honcho. VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, you cannot dictate every situation. Not only can you get frazzled, but also others may begrudge your taking over all of the time. Go with the flow once in a while. LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, if you have any tricks up your sleeve, now is a good time to pull them all out. People are expecting serious productivity and you can deliver. SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, this week presents a great opportunity to allow a colleague to take over the reins of a big project. This person is fully capable and ready for the responsibility. SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, others may turn up at your door this week seeking assistance. Don’t be surprised by the sudden visitors, and do your best to send them off with what they need. CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, with so much on your schedule, you have to give some serious thought to prioritizing. Otherwise, you may expend energy that cannot be wasted. AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 You have been indecisive of late, Aquarius. While you may not know which way to go regarding an important decision, trust your instincts and you won’t be unhappy. PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 Treat yourself well this week, Pisces. Dine out at an upscale restaurant or indulge in a spa treatment. You deserve something special.

Coffee decoded: a quick guide to specialty coffees Ever wonder what the difference is between a cappuccino and a macchiato? Ever feel confused when looking at all the coffee varieties and fancy names? There’s no doubt coffee has evolved over the years: it’s no longer just with or without sugar, milk or cream. It remains the most popular beverage in the country (after tap water) and is consumed by 65 percent of Canadians each day according to the Coffee Association of Canada. While mornings are still the time of day most people drink coffee (25 per cent), a growing number of coffee addicts are enjoying it after-lunch and afternoons and there are now even cocktails made with coffee. So before you start personalizing your own coffee, it would be useful to learn a thing or two about the different types of coffee. Here’s your survival guide from the experts at Van Houtte to make it in the coffee world: • Americano: A classic Americano is prepared with two shots of espresso and about 12 ounc-
es of water. Simple and tasty. • Cappuccino: Rich coffee, warm milk, creamy mousse. Simple yet intense. Perfect to wake you up. • Caramel Macchiato: The name says it all: a perfect mix of coffee, with a taste of buttery caramel. A great way to feel like a kid in a candy store again. • Espresso: Espresso was originally conceived as a faster way of making coffee, hence the name “espresso”, meaning “express” in Italian. This was done by forcing hot water through a finely ground blend of coffee at high pressure resulting in faster extraction. The result: a rich beverage that is thicker than regular coffee, with a delicious crema on top. • Mocaccino: Coffee and chocolate mixed together. Two great tastes brilliantly united. Not sure whether to have hot chocolate or coffee? This one’s for you. • Vanilla Latte: Rich coffee with a hint of vanilla. Tastes as good as it smells. –newscanada
Authentic Italian? How to find the real stuff What’s not to love about Italian food? It’s really no surprise it’s often listed in the top favourite cuisines of our friends and families alike. Italy produces succulent cured meats, mouth-watering cheese varieties and olive oil so rich and flavourful you’ll savour every drop. It’s also a food category full of imitators. The Italian Trade Commission shared the top tips for identifying real Italian products from its Italian-sounding competitors. Here are some tips to help identify authentic Italian cured meats, cheeses and olive oil: Cured Meats: Prosciutto is one of the most popular and beloved choices – whether as part of a charcuterie board or sandwich. Authentic Italian prosciutto is made from hogs raised in select areas of central-northern Italy that are given special diets. You’ll know you have the right stuff if you see the word “Original” on the package and the prosciutto leg is marked with the Ducal Crown. Mortadella is another familiar cold cut enjoyed by many Canadians. It might look like baloney, but that’s actually American. The Italian version is Mortadella Bologna and comes from the region with the same namesake. Cheeses: Whether enjoyed in a salad, pasta or dip, Asiago is a popular gourmet cheese enjoyed by many.
Often imitated, this rich cheese is made from the milk of cows that are pastured between the mountainous regions of Veneto and Trentino Alto Adige. To find the real thing, look for the word Asiago, which should be pressed into the rind of the cheese. The wheel is also branded with the Asiago consortium seal and the term Prodotto Della Montagna (product of the Mountain). Another common sheep’s cheese is Romano. This hard
cheese is rooted in history and more than 2,000 years old. The Italian version is known as Pecorino Romano and has a pale ivory colour and aromatic, tangy flavour Olive Oil: Italy’s climate, which is ideal for the olive trees, alongside centuries of craftsmanship, makes it no surprise that Italianmade olive oil is considered the best in the world. With so many imitations out there, reading the labels is especially important. Avoid bottles that say “packed in Italy” as they can contain olive oil from other European countries. Instead look for a bottle that says “product of Italy.” Depending on your taste buds, you may want to also consider which region it was crafted in, as flavours can vary. For bolder oil go south, and for softer flavours go for a blend from central Italy. Aside from looking for the region of production, authentic Italian-made products have designations that ensure their quality and craftsmanship. If you’re uncertain next time you’re shopping, keep an eye out for one of the following: Denominazione di Origine Protetta (DOP), Indicazione Geografica Protetta (IGP) and Traditional Specialty Guarantee (TSG).

Heart of the Home Tackling your home’s stains and odours From wall stains to washing machines, indoor stains and smells can be a challenge to tackle. Luckily, there are surprisingly simple methods to erase them for good. Here are a few tips to freshen up the most stubborn spots in your home.
and new, grab an old toothbrush or electric toothbrush for a deeper scrub. Before you start, wash the surface with water then mix two parts baking soda with one part water. Scrub the resulting paste into the cracks and crevices, then douse with water again. If the grout lines are stained, spray a mixture of equal parts vinegar and warm water onto the area and brush. After a final rinse, the grime will be gone.
Conceal wall stains with primer Have your kids made artwork of your walls, or has your leaky roof caused a water-damaged mess? Tough wall stains like these can be hard to get rid of, but are easily sealed by applying a high-quality, stain-blocking primer. For example, KILZ Hide-All Primer Sealer covers problem areas on surfaces from drywall and woodwork to concrete and brick. It even masks over dark stains without allowing colour to bleed through. With only a one-hour drying time before applying a topcoat, this is the perfect oneweekend project to cross off your list. KILZ primer can also seal off odours caused by pets or smoke.
Eliminate refrigerator odours Refrigerators are subject to a variety of spills and odours. Making time for fridge maintenance can help prevent unusual odours and keep your food fresh longer. To cleanse and polish your fridge, begin by emptying the contents of your fridge and throwing out, recycling or composting any food that is expired or beginning to smell.
Prevent a mouldy washing machine
Next, pull out any removable drawers or shelving and place them in the sink. Using a damp, soft cloth or non-abrasive sponge, wipe down these pieces, the interior of your fridge and the door with a multi-purpose cleaner. Or, mix two tablespoons of baking soda with one quart of hot water for a natural soap alternative. Don’t forget the seams of the shelves and rubber door seal. If your fridge requires an extra-deep cleaning, unplug it while you work to
avoid wasting energy. Before putting all of your food back into the fridge, wipe down the exterior of each jar or container with a damp cloth. Repeat this process every two or three months for the best results.
Make grout lines shine Tile surfaces are prone to dirt and debris, especially in bathrooms or hightraffic areas. To keep tile looking fresh
If you own a front-loading washing machine, you’ve probably noticed the unpleasant smell that can linger after completing a load of laundry. Despite being more energy-efficient, these machines have a tendency to hold odours and harbour mould. To clean and prevent grimy buildup, try this: instead of detergent, cycle two cups of vinegar and a quarter-cup of baking soda on a hot setting. When it’s done, use a clean sponge to scrub down the inside. Finally, rinse with a plain-water cycle, and you’ll see (and smell) the results. Whether in the kitchen, bathroom or laundry room, tricky stains and odours in your home can be a tough job, but with these four tips you’ll be able to eliminate a few messy tasks in no time. –newscanada
Paint like a pro with great results Like the changing of the leaves, fall is the perfect time to update the colours in your home. With open windows, a cool breeze and the tips below, you can check painting off your list in a snap and head back outdoors to enjoy your favourite autumn activities.
“Sunlight, shadows and furniture can all alter the appearance of paint in your space,” Erika Woelfel, the VP of Color Marketing at Behr said. “Before fully committing to a hue, make sure it’s one you’ll love morning, noon and night.”
1. Buy high-quality paint for the best coverage and deepest colour saturation
4. Use the right painting supplies
When it comes to paint, quality matters. Search for a combination paint-and-primer to save a few steps and ensure complete coverage. Good options have high hiding ability and resist stains and scuffs. Behr Marquee Interior Paint & Primer is a great example. This durable paint offers a one-coat guarantee when tinted to one of 372 classic and contemporary hues in the Behr Marquee Interior One-Coat Colour Collection. It’s scrubbable and with a onecoat guarantee, you can spend less time painting and more time sipping apple cider or getting the kids ready to head back to school.
2. Use websites and apps tools to simplify your search Once you’ve chosen your product, it’s time to pick a colour. Colour selection can seem intimidating, but is a chance to infuse your personality into your home. Many online resources are available for homeowners to explore, coordinate and experiment with different
looks. Pinterest, Houzz and Apartment Therapy are great websites for browsing images and finding home décor inspiration and colours that speak to you.
3. Use paint samples, rather than chips The easiest way to see the colour in your home is to see it in action. Many paint retailers offer small sample cans for just a few dollars. Use these to paint a few stripes of each colour option in the room you’ll be painting, then watch as the colour changes in different lighting conditions.
High-quality painting tools save you time over the course of your project and produce the most beautiful finish. For best results, use a high-quality, lintfree roller cover. Select brushes made of nylon and polyester, and for flawless edges, use a painter’s tape specifically designed for your surface type. Spend time preparing for your project Proper preparation is the key to achieving longlasting colour. Begin by removing all wall fixtures you can, such as pictures, doors and light switches. If you have small cracks or holes in your walls, remove any dust and apply a patching material. Make sure to allow this to dry completely before sanding the finished area. Wash away oil, grease or wax stains by dampening the surface, applying mild detergent with a sponge and then rinse the wall clean. Once dried, you’ll be ready for smooth application and beautiful colour. With these five tips and a free afternoon, you can easily transform the inside of your home into a cozy retreat for fall. –newscanada

Securing your pet in the vehicle Most people wouldn’t think twice about grabbing their pet and taking them for a ride in the car to run some errands or to visit friends and family. However, with an increased focus on distracted driving and overall driving safety, there is growing concern about pet safety in the car. “Many people overlook the potential distraction that a pet can be, especially if they are loose in your vehicle,” Wayne Ross, an insurance expert with Aviva Canada said. “They can distract you from the road, impair your vision, and even attempt to climb on you while driving. Properly securing your pet will ensure you are both safe.” Goossens offers the following tips when you go for a ride:
• Don’t let your pets run loose in the car. • Don’t let your dog hang its head outside the window. • Secure your pets using a pet-friendly seat belt or safety harness. • Crate small pets at all times. • Avoid letting your pets sit on your lap when driving. • Never leave your animal in the car unattended. • Consider installing a dog barrier in your vehicle if you have a hatchback, van or SUV. Properly securing your pets in the car and ensuring they are safe before you hit the road will mean one less distraction. More detailed information is available from your insurance broker or at AvivaCanada.com. –newscanada
Tips for moving to a new home with pets Making the transition to a new home can be stressful for everyone, including your pets. “We often are anxious about our pets’ adjustment to a new home,” Lincoln Thompson, a broker-owner with Royal LePage said. “To ensure a safe and successful transition, homeowners can plan ahead and take initiatives to make the process as smooth as possible.” Before the move. Pull out moving boxes in advance of packing to allow your pet an opportunity to become accustomed to them. Orient your pet to its carrier or crate so that you have a safe place for her before and after the move. Try to keep routines as stable as possible during the flurry of packing and preparation for the big move. Research by-laws and pet licensing in your new area. Contact the local municipality for requirements concerning domestic animals in your new area. Ask about licensing and by-laws concerning the responsibilities of pet owners.
Also check into the availability of off-leash areas for dogs in your new community. Special considerations for rural areas. If your new home is in a rural area, be sure to learn the rights of farmers when neighbouring pets venture onto their property. Often, farmers have special privileges when it comes to protecting their livestock. Transitioning your pet to your new home. Be prepared for some trepidation, particularly with cats that tend not to take as well to a change in environment. Cats should remain inside for several weeks until they become comfortable with their surroundings. Then, allow them only short accompanied ventures outdoors. Take your dog for several walks each day to help him become familiar with the new area. Avoid walking a dog immediately before leaving for errands or work. Plan to be home for a period of time after those initial walks. That way, the dog will associate his new home with positive outcomes. – newscanada
