The fears employees had of getting laid off during the holiday season because Pacific Western Brewery (PWB) moved into a significantly higher tax bracket, creat-ing financial challenges, were allayed after Minister of Energy, Mines and Natural Gas Rich Coleman visited the city Monday to announce a new formula instituting incremental mark-up rates instead.

Previous to the announcement, as soon as a brewery produced more than 160,000 hL, the tax rate jumped up to the equivalent of a commercial brewery producing 300,000 hL. Last week PWB said it might have to lay off staff and curb production rather than pay the signifi-cantly higher rate.

A small brewery is put at financial risk when it is marked up to the commercial rate on all volume, Cole-man said during Mondays press conference.

He added hes been working on the new formula for the past few months.

There will be a gradual tax increase in small incre-ments that will not affect the economic viability of the brewery, Coleman said. Breweries will know not only where they stand today, but in the future.

The new formula, Coleman said to the employees gath-ered at the announcement, wouldnt affect their jobs. He added he expected there would be bumps in the road as the new formula is implemented, however they would be smoothed over so jobs in Prince George would be protected.

Coleman said in the past rather than change the for-mula, which has been in effect since 1988, the threshold was simply raised. Now government, he said, has come up with a long-term solution.

Coleman added he visited Prince George to announce the new policy in person to some of the people it meant the most to, rather than simply announcing the change in Vancouver.

According to a report written by Tom Fletcher with Black Press, an earlier version of the policy was with-drawn when it was reported the president of PWB donated an auction prize of accommodation in the Carib-

bean to a party fundraiser in Colemans constituency, a donation the minister said he returned, adding he should have checked to ensure party donations werent solicited from anyone with current business with his ministry.

In 2011, PWB donated contributed $24,350 to the Lib-eral party.

Life appeared to be turning around for Patrick Michael Kelly.

For four years the convicted killer and former RCMP officer, ran a thriv-ing antiques business downtown. He was known as a philanthropist who often donated pieces for charity auctions and fundraisers. Kelly, 62, was also often seen enjoying a night out on the town with a number of different women on his arm.

Kelly had served his time in prison, 23 years, for the first degree murder of his wife Jeanette whom prosecutors said fell to her death after being thrown by Kelly from the 17th floor balcony of the couples condo in Toronto.

He was found guilty in 1983. However, Kelly has always maintained his inno-cence, claiming that his wifes death was an accident.

Kelly got day parole in 2008 when he moved to Prince George and two years later he was granted full parole. Surpris-

ingly, many people in the community including business acquaintances knew of his past but chose to ignore it.

Last Tuesday, his parole was revoked at a Parole Board of Canada hearing after he was found to be in violation of a parole condition requiring him to disclose to his parole officer any and all close relation-ships with women.

Last summer, when the Free Press reporter came by to talk with someone doing construction work on his house in the Fort George Park area, Kelly waved

happily and walked into the door with a bouquet of lilies and a bottle of wine.

Are those for someone special?Yes, theyre for me, he joked. That

was the side of Kelly that many people saw and liked. Kelly had recently moved into the house (purchased by a female friend) and it was undergoing extensive renovations. Well-known for helping out people down on their luck, Kelly was also a very shrewd businessman when it came

Concerns remain for Kellys customersto some of his Antiques on Sixth dealings.

He has angered at least two for-mer consignees and customers.

Sarah Bruce was at the Antiques and Collectibles Fair at the PG Roll-A-Dome last spring at a booth to help sell her grandmother Dorines antiques. Kelly was in the antiques booth beside her. He wanted to buy two heavily carved oak throne chairs which he arranged to pick up from Dorines house in Vanderhoof.

When Mr. Kelly came he took other pieces too, said Dorine in a telephone interview last summer. He said Id get $500 each for the chairs right away but I havent seen any money yet.

Bruce said Tuesday as far as she knows, Kelly has not contacted Dorine with news on whether or not the items have sold nor has he paid her any money.

His trailer was full of her fur-niture, Bruce told the Free Press. There was two carved armchairs, a neat piece from Italy with a glass front, an old chaise lounge, some nice games tables with tassels on them. Some really nice pieces.

After months passed with no news from Kelly, was she suspicious?

It seemed weird, she said. If

something is not selling after all this time, then I think he should tell her. Shes 81. Old people get taken so often I really dont want her wor-ried with this.

Since Kellys arrest in August, three friends of Kellys including Rebecca Sinclair, a financial planner, a man with the last name Washing-ton, and Paul Kessler, who in Octo-ber was handing out business cards at the shop, have been hard at work trying to sort out his paperwork and business dealings.

Told by the Free Press people at Antiques on Sixth were working to resolve the problems of returning furniture to its owners or getting them paid, Bruce said that she was relieved and will get a family mem-ber to connect with new managers.

With the current lease expired, Antiques on Sixth is now being relo-cated to 250 Dominion St.

Because furniture from Antiques on Sixth can be found all over the city some consigned pieces were on sale at businesses while others were on generous loan for display purposes its a tough task to sort things out, round it up and account for it. But that is the plan.

A source who spoke on condition of anonymity said she had a good business relationship with Kelly.

Like a lot of other people, I had pieces of his [Kellys] in my shop

and I made arrangements with Rebecca Sinclair to come and take them. I knew that something was up in August during the PGX because Patrick had talked about having a booth and he was not there. Its not like him to not show up for promo-tions and marketing.

The source said she became sus-picious when she was told several different stories about Kellys lack of contact.

I was told he was on holidays, that he was visiting a sick relative, that he was in a monastery so I had a funny feeling in my stomach that something was wrong.

However Kelly was always pro-fessional, she said, and paid com-mission promptly on the items sold in her store.

According to a Canadian Press release, Kelly will be eligible to apply for parole again but his new hearing will likely be some time in the future, probably a year from now.

Meanwhile, Kelly still has his local supporters and friends but he appears to have lost luckily for them, say sources wary of him at least two women romantically linked with Kelly, who may also have been left in the dark about his past.

However, one thing that Patrick Michael Kelly has lost for sure is his freedom.

Shortly after his arrest in August, 2012 and following up a tip from a reader, a Free Press reporter contacted the Correctional Service of Canada to find out if Patrick Kelly may have violated his parole conditions.

Kelly, a former RCMP undercover officer, was convicted in 1983 of first degree murder for throwing his wife to her death from the 17th floor balcony of their Toronto waterfront condominium.

On August 29, the Free Press received a let-ter from David Harty regarding our August 27 media inquiry. Here are answers to some

questions we posed:FP: How does a certain community get

chosen when a person is placed back into society after his time in jail has been served?

DH: The choice of a community for an offender to live in after serving time in a federal institution depends on whether the offender has support available in the commu-nity, whether a suitable residential facility has accepted them (if applicable), and if appropri-ate programs and employment are available in that community.

FP: Where does a parole violator go after he

has been found guilty of parole violations?DH: Under the Corrections and Condi-

tional Release Act (CCRA) the Parole Board of Canada (PBC) has exclusive jurisdiction and absolute discretion to grant, deny, termi-nate or revoke parole for inmates in federal, territorial and many provincial institutions, except for cases under the jurisdiction of provincial parole boards. The PBC may also, when applicable, revoke the statutory release of an offender.

FP: Can you tell me the status of Patrick Kellys case or direct me to anywhere online

or elsewhere where I may get the correction information? Put it this way, can you com-ment at all on any aspect of what is now hap-pening, or likely to happen, at this juncture, involving Patrick Kelly?

DH: As per the Privacy Act, CSC cannot discuss the specifics of the offenders case.

Harty, regional communications manager, Correctional Service Canada, Pacific Region also provided various websites where the public can access information including parole and community corrections and com-munity assessments.

Maurine Karagiais,

NDP liquor critic, said it is important to avoid even the appearance of a conflict of interest.

When you are a min-ister of the crown you have to be very careful of a conflict of interest,

or the perception of a conflict of interest, she said.

She added she sup-ports the new policy, however she is critical of the way it was rolled out, saying employees at PWB should not have been put through the anxiety of wonder-ing if they would keep their jobs in the first place.

I think its good news that the govern-ment, despite the cha-otic way they handled this, finally came out with a policy I think is favourable for all those medium sized brewer-ies including Pacific Western Brewery,

Karagiais said. But this is not the way govern-ment should be rolling out policy. Its unfortu-nate the kind of anxiety that was caused for the workers last week who sat through the week-end wondering if they would have jobs until the end of the year. Its irresponsible when government does that to workers in places like Prince George.

She added the NDP would like to see poli-cies that are supportive of workers.

The way the gov-ernment has misman-aged this has been quite appalling, she said.

Exciting Chirositol ResearchOver 30 published studies performed at the Virginia Medical School have shown that Chirositol, a nutrient derived from carob, is an effective supplement for insulin-resistant conditions including weight gain, metabolic syndrome and Type 2 diabetes, as well as for excess androgen (male hormone)- related concerns such as PCOS, acne and male facial hair growth in women.

Chirositol normalizes insulin and blood sugar levels, thereby assisting with all of the above conditions. Chirositol mimics insulins activity, controlling blood glucose levels, glucose storage or the action of glucose in the cell. It will not, however, cause low blood sugar in those with normal blood sugar levels. Chirositol also elevates our happy hormone, serotonin, Reduced serotonin or poor metabolism of serotonin ins linked to increased sugar cravings so by balancing serotonin and blood sugar, Chirositol also helps to control appetite.

NDP upset with perceived conflict

China agreement good: ZimmerThe Foreign Investment Promotion

and Protection Agreement (FIPPA) being negotiated between Canada and China is nothing to fear but rather raises the standards of business practices between the two countries, according to Prince George-Peace River Conservative MP Bob Zimmer.

Speculation that the agreement could somehow lead to a situation where a Chinese company with interests in the oil sands could sue Canada if the Northern Gateway pipeline gets nixed, since that could affect profits, is just that specula-tion, Zimmer said.

Its speculation in a couple respects, Zimmer said. I dont see it that way. The FIPPA that we have with China is a framework, somewhat of a reciprocity. They recognize Canadian companies and their right to operate in their country, and we do the same. The FIPPA with China helps us with a framework for companies and foreign investment that wasnt there previously. It gives parameters the Chi-nese have to operate under with us.

Zimmer said he understands the cau-tion people feel when it comes to Chinese investment.

We want to keep as much wealth in Canada as possible, he said. But foreign investment helps Canada in many, many

ways. Weve had foreign investment in Canada for many, many years. FIPPAs give a stable framework to operate busi-nesses out of, and thats what theyre designed to do. Canada has many FIP-PAs. There are many being negotiated, and many that weve been operating under for a while.

He added the FIPPA with China isnt anything to be afraid of.

If anything it adds a level of consis-tency we need for business, he said.

Even though China is a communist country with all aspects of the country, including businesses, closely tied to and

supported by government, Chinese busi-nesses wont have an edge over Canadian businesses.

Once they get to Canada they have to follow the framework just as any other business would. They dont have any more rights than a Canadian com-pany in Canada, Zimmer said. The FIPPA doesnt bring the standards down. Frankly the opposite is true. It brings the standards higher. These are standards we both have to hold to whether we are in Canada or in China, Its to get rid of that fear of the unknown for Canadian and Chinese businesses.

You shrank prostate tumours. Two mayors of cities in Alberta that are thriving

thanks to the oil and gas industry visited Prince George Thursday to talk about why they support pipeline projects, in particular the Northern Gateway pipeline, and how British Columbians and all of Canada will also reap benefits if these projects go through.

Mayor Stuart Houston of the City of Spruce Grove and Mayor Greg Krischke of the City of Leduc, mem-bers of the Capital Region Boards Pipeline Linkages Strategy committee, said they hope to discuss the national importance of developing infrastructure to move oil out of Alberta to market, in particular mar-kets in emerging countries like China and India, rather than keep the status quo of selling 99 per cent of Cana-dian oil to American markets.

The west is at a real crossroads with energy infra-structure, Houston said.

He said currently the United States regulates and discounts Canadian oil prices, to the tune of $27 per barrel. Whats more, the U.S. is set to become the larg-est energy producer in the world itself by 2025, signifi-cantly lowering its need for Canadian oil.

We need to get to the world market, he said, add-ing the biggest markets will be China and India. It is a huge benefit for Canada. It is a huge benefit for the whole industry.

The benefits are not only for Albertans, Krischke said. We recognize B.C. and all of Canada benefit from this.

According to statistics provided by the Capital Region Board, over the next 25 years Albertas oil industry will purchase $117 billion in supplies and ser-vices from other Canadian provinces. British Colum-bia will receive a $28 billion chunk of that pie and 25 per cent of the jobs.

The Northern Gateway pipeline is part of that pic-ture, and building it will cause the GDP in Canada to rise substantially.

Houston said for every job created in the Alberta oil sands, another is created elsewhere in Canada.

As for upgrading the tar sand oil, Krischke said about 58 per cent of it was upgraded in 2010, though since demand has increased that percentage is down. He added that even if every drop of oil pumped from the tar sands was upgraded, it would still need to be shipped.

We are landlocked right now. Even if we upgraded 100 per cent of the oil wed have to get it to the tide waters. The safest way is burying the pipe and pump-ing it, he said.

He added he understands there is a certain amount of environmental risk attached to the pipeline, how-ever pointed out the Trans-Mountain pipeline goes through Jasper National Park, and now people cant even tell what side of the road it lies on.

It must be done in an environmentally responsible manner, Houston said.

He added the Joint Review Panel will make rec-ommendations to mitigate any associated risks if it approves the project.

Is there a risk? Krischke asked. Yes there is, but theres a risk involved in crossing a road. You can live next to a pipeline and not even know its there.

He said there are 10,000 km of pipeline in Alberta. You can co-exist.

Mayors pump pipeline

A lasting impressionEvery once in a while someone touches your life

and your heart in a way you know you will never forget. This summer I met Jack, that long lanky cow-boy who can unnerve you with one keen-eyed glare from beneath the brim of that black cowboy hat he wears, or flash those pretty dimples that bracket his mouth (that is if hes got enough bark shaved away for you to see them) and convince you to never tune your radio to anything but country music again.

Jack is an individualist in a world that loves to conform. We spent the late spring and all summer camping every weekend, and each trip was a new and great adventure, beginning with preparing for the occasion.

Darby (my bestest friend) would talk about what needed to be packed, just kind of making sure noth-ing was getting missed.

Darby: Meat. Jack: And beer. Darby: Blankets. Jack: And beer. Darby: Need an axe. Jack: And beer.

Me: (Giggling by then, thinking it was all a joke) You dont really take alcohol when you go camping, do you? Jack: (Casting me a shocked and horrified look) Well you sure dont leave it behind. Me: Ive never gone camping and taken alcohol before.

Actually that was maybe the only conversation I had with Jack where I left him speechless.

He loves beer. And Sambuca. Italian Sambuca.He also loves the ladies. Yes, he is an incorrigible

flirt, but he saves himself from being cast into the bird-dog category because he really truly loves all ladies. Big and small, long and short, red-heads, brunettes or bald (yes, I saw him seriously flirt with a bald lady), young or old (one time Owen mentioned him mom was taking a bath and Jack got this raptur-ous look on his face and said he ought to join her. Owen mentioned she was old enough to be Jacks mom. Jack said well, older ladies need loving too!), fashion queens or blue-jeaned babes. I could go on and on. Hell catch sight of a lady, and suddenly stop talking halfway through a conversation as he admires whatever asset that caught his attention.

He also loves George Strait. Ask him any trivia question about George Strait, and Jack will have the

answer. Of course, thats true about nearly every-thing. He is highly intelligent and keeps informed on current events, not because he has to, just because they interest him.

But maybe most of all, he loves a challenge. Whether its taking out a mouse that had the temer-

ity to run wild over his cowboy boot (using Darbys spatula, no less) or run-ning an ancient camperized van down the Durango Trail, Jack isnt a guy you say never too.

But the most impressive thing about Jack is his heart. Whether hes spend-ing half his pay cheque on fireworks to

put on a display for a kid he barely knows someone made sad or fishing sunglasses out of an outhouse for his daughter, Jacks heart knows no limits when it comes to love, loyalty and friendship. Once hes pulled you into his life youre safe forever. Hes just a call away, and I should know.

The one time this year I was afraid and didnt know where to turn I didnt even think about it. I just showed up on his doorstep. And you know what? He came to help me so fast he didnt even have a chance to put on his cowboy boots.

So why am I going on and on, repeating old stories about Jack? Because today Im worried about that big beautiful heart. Jack had a heart attack and now hes in the hospital. He looks good hes just too tough and ornery to be anything but good but Im still worried.

Ill be glad to see him back home, arguing with his dog and annoying his girl.

Thats exactly whats going to happen, too. First off, Jack said he was going to set off some fireworks over the lake this winter just so we could all enjoy the experience (the experience will probably include much beer), and Jack never lies. Secondly, the world needs more individualists, real men like Jack who might not adhere to all the politically correct rules society has laid down, but instead lives honourably, true to a cowboy code created in a different era.

Even so, it wouldnt hurt for you to send a couple of good thoughts his way. After all, the world can use all the real cowboys it can get.

DELYNDAPILON

Leduc Mayor Greg Krischke and Spruce Grove Mayor Stuart Houston promote the Northern Gateway pipeline.

Its been a whirlwind the past week or so here at the Free Press as we officially launched the Free Press Daily.

Some of you have been receiving it for a few months now, so, for you, its not news. And even though weve been producing the Daily for some time now, there was added pressure with going public.

As with any new adventure, there have been glitches, hiccups, and even some successes.

The Free Press Daily, if youre not familiar with it, is a daily newspaper that is deliv-ered to your in-box rather than your front step every morning. For the techies out there, we use software called In House Digital Publishing to produce the paper, (technically it shouldnt be called a newspaper because its not printed on paper, but its not really a website either, so Im not sure what to call it).

The software takes the pages we produce and turns them into a file that, when it runs on your computer, looks very much like a newspaper. You can turn pages back and forth (they even make a sound when you turn them), zoom in for closer look, and read it whenever you like.

You can also access it on your tablet, however, its a slightly different experience and its spotty on iPhones. We are, however, working on improv-ing that.

What makes the Daily different than simply posting stories to our website is that we deliver the paper to you. If you have an e-mail account, we can get the Free Press Daily to you, every morning, so you can read the news of the day that is important in Prince George. You dont have to

go get it, it comes to you. This isnt really new as RSS has been around for years and in the new world of apps, push notifications do the same thing.

Whats different is that what we deliver actually looks like a newspaper, right down the classified ads.

One of the main questions Ive received about the Daily since we started sending it out last Friday is where did you get my e-mail address from?

Weve been collecting and saving e-mail addresses for months as weve worked on developing this. If we come across an address, we keep it. Simple as that.

We did not buy a list. So if you think your e-mail address is on a list that is up for sale, rest assured that we didnt buy one. We collected addresses the old-fashioned way.

In addition, we will not be sharing the list we have compiled with anyone else. Its not for sale or sharing.

Except for one who called me a derogatory term for toilet paper, reaction has been pretty positive. And, we are cognizant to the fact that we can clog up e-mail in-boxes, so if you dont want to receive it, well take you off the list.

For us here at the Free Press, its a little more work as we now put out seven issues a week two print and five digital so were busy. How-ever, in this business, busy usually means exciting and this latest adventure is definitely exciting.

If youre not already receiving the Free Press Daily, you can sign up for a free subscription, yes its free, at pgfreepress.ca or just send me an e-mail at [email protected]

Given all the talk in this town about city hall dipping into your pockets, its ironic that for a good number of Prince George residents it may be the District of Vanderhoof that takes the largest tax bite next year.Its also ironic, with the future of the Four Seasons Pool up in

the area, that tax bite from out west is for a pool.Vanderhoof wants to build a pool. Nothing untoward there.

And, because it will cost a fair chunk of change, they are going to the voters in a referendum in February.

The pool wont be cheap for property owners in the catch-ment area paying for the pool. The price tag is $86 per $100,000 of assessed property. For most, thats a couple hundred bucks on the tax bill, for some, it could be a few hundred bucks.

The catch for a bunch of Prince George residents? The catch-ment area for the pool includes Bulkley-Nechako Regional Dis-trict Area F. That means Cluculz Lake.

Its no secret to anyone that a lot of Prince George residents have property at Cluculz Lake, whether they live there year-round or just a summer cabin at the lake. A lot of Vanderhoof residents do the same, however, we would suggest that the number of property owners at Cluculz Lake who identify them-selves with Prince George far outnumber those who identify themselves with Vanderhoof.

So, for Prince George residents who have property at Cluculz Lake, we suggest you find out about the pool referendum. There is lots of information on the regional district website.

You might not object to paying for a pool in Vanderhoof. But you should at least be informed about it.

And, whether you support it or not, exercise your right to vote in the referendum.

Marijuana reform advocates hope Washington and Colorado states recent vote to legalize and tax marijuana sales will add momentum to their push for change in B.C.Washington state estimates it would collect $560 million in the

first year from a 25-per-cent tax on the sale of regulated marijuana through authorized stores.

If enacted, this could also cause a partial collapse of B.C.s esti-mated $7-billion-a-year illegal pot industry, as growers relocate to the U.S. to avoid the need to smuggle.

Recently, the Union of B.C. Municipalities passed a resolution calling for marijuana to be decriminalized. Theyd rather pot be regulated and taxed instead. The U.S. votes are a progressive move toward responsible marijuana use. Its time for B.C. to take a similar step toward decriminalization, if not legalization of mar-ijuana. The potential tax revenue and the opportunity to reduce law enforcement costs, and help unclog our court system is com-pelling. The poll results south of the border sent a message that U.S. drug policies are not working. Ours arent working either.

Sensible B.C., a campaign headed by B.C. marijuana activist and medical pot dispenser Dana Larsen, aims to get enough sig-natures on a petition to force a provincial referendum on mari-juana decriminalization, through B.C.s Recall and Initiative Act.

The proposed Sensible Policing Act would block B.C. police from spending time or resources on searches, seizures or arrests for simple cannabis possession. Its time we take our antiquated marijuana laws and follow the lead of our neighbours to the south and let the people decide if its time for a change.

Coffee with a reporterStories come to reporters in a variety of ways. News

releases, press conferences and phone calls are some. Sometimes you might think whatever story you have in mind isnt worth a phone call or visit to the news-papers office, but is it worth a cup of coffee?

Reporter DeLynda Pilon would like the chance to hear what you have to say so every Friday at 11 a.m. she will be having a coffee break at Zoes Java House at 1251 Fourth Ave., and is hoping you will drop by to chat. Or just stop in and introduce yourself.

11:00 am Fridays at Zoes Java House at 1251 - 4th AvenueDELYNDAPILON

Its time for my annual messing with the sleep patterns routine.

Yes, once again this year Ive volun-teered for Operation Red Nose, which means Friday and Saturdays for the next few weeks will see me up until 3 a.m., which is only about five hours later than my usual bedtime.

Shall we amble (which is something I definitely wont be doing much of this weekend)?

I saw something Thursday evening which takes Blacktop Blockhead to a whole new level.

I was driving up 18th Avenue towards Foothills around 7:30 p.m. when I saw a blob approaching in the other lane. As I got closer, I realized said blob was actually a truck without any lights on.

Im not sure whether both headlights were burned out or whether the driver couldnt be bothered turning them on.

One suggestion at the office was the driver may have deliberately left them off. After all, if youve had a couple of drinks, you might figure the cops cant see you if you dont have your lights on.

Of course, when they do see your vehicle (and they will), the first thing they do is pull you over for driving without your lights on, which sort of defeats the whole purpose of keeping them off to avoid being pulled over.

Someone was mentioning how confusing it could be around Prince George to hear someone talk about how the Cougars did, and youre not sure if theyre talking about the WHL team,

the Major Midget team, any of the other minor hockey teams, or a local high-school team.

Well, it could be worse. The South-western Athletic Conference somehow doesnt have any Cougars in its 10 teams, but the West Division does have some Golden Lions (Arkansas-Pine Bluff), Jaguars (Southern), Panthers (Prairie View A&M) and two sets of Tigers (Grambling State and Texas Southern).

If thats not enough, theres another set of Tigers (Jackson State) in the East Division but theyre the only big cats over there.

Getting back to sleep deprivation (remember, I sort of mentioned it when I talked about Operation Red Nose?), a little less than four weeks from now is a day when a lot of people might get less

sleep than normal.Yes, coming up in less than four

weeks is Boxing Day, when people line up outside stores for hours on end, waiting for them to open earlier than usual, so you can buy the stuff you didnt get for Christmas.

At least Boxing Day is a Canadian tradition, unlike the Black Friday ads I saw last week. Hey, you want to be like the Americans, fine, but Ill spend my money at stores that are proud to be Canadian.

Here is my absolutely ridiculous question of the day: When people in Prince George are going to Prince Rupert for whatever reason, you fre-quently hear them say, Im heading out to Rupert.

Do people in Prince Rupert say, Im heading in to George?

It takes a real dimbulb to be this kind of Blockhead

ALLANWISHART

A shame, but not a real surpriseEditor:

My first emotional response is sadness; how-ever, I am not altogether surprised that the city of Prince George moves to close the Swap Shed doors forever and passes up a good thing as danger-ous and unsafe, spawn-ing communal, possibly even criminal, kerfuffles. In reality, a sharing shed filled with good things to be passed over and on is quite a grandiose and elaborate vision, saving many items to be repurposed and recycled, up-cycled even, and spared from the massive, encroaching landfill lump. But, if this idea is thrown, rather than planned, a Swap Shed in theory is just a disaster waiting to happen, or as this story ends: a Swap Shed that will not happen.

I attempt to visit the municipal Swap Shed at least once a week to repur-pose and even challenge my way of thinking as a fabric artisan. A couple of

weeks ago, I found a spar-kling gem: a goldenrod, English, dishtowel with a maiden swirling in a field of daffodils. I worked on this piece for about a week, embellishing it with broken zipper flowers, a vintage suede coat belt, a Lush knot wrap bandana, and an embroidered cur-tain piece from the 70s. The result was art, one very unique, chic and trendy bag that sold at the UNBC Artisan Fall Fair 2012.

I am not an architect, but I will pose here that the design of the Swap Shed is not landmark thinking. It should be made obvious here that the Swap Shed only ever had one kind of system in place: keep it neat in bins or on the shelves, but there are no labels, no guidelines, no signs even, to do so. There are no hooks, no hangers, and no suggestions to hang cloth-ing up. There are three bins in the Swap Shed, they are all very deep,

without holes for drain-age or ventilation. A sign is posted that strongly discourages any kind of urination (almost suggests it) in or around the shed! The shelves alongside the back wall are precarious, not level, and do not con-tain any kind of a shelf lip and some of the shelves have the hardware for the shelving, but do not have a shelf. There are no labelled sections of any kind: for hardware, shoes, toys, clothing, and what not. And finally, ironic enough, at a municipal landfill site, there is not even a garbage can at the Swap Shed location for a person to tidy up if they wanted to.

I have never had to wear any kind of pro-tective clothing or gear upon entering the shed or rooting through the shed bins. Obviously, I do exercise caution around and in the shed, as with any eclectic locality that I visit. I have always met interesting people at the

Swap Shed, and, on more than one occasion, have had a delightful conver-sation, and witnessed people helping people. One day, while digging through the clothing bin, I did find a table saw blade, which could have poten-tially posed a danger. But another time, I lost my husbands entire wallet in a bin and a total stranger went out of her way to look us up, call our house, and meet us to return his wallet.

We are always going to have hidden dangers and lurking hoodlums, but we will not have another chance to prepare a cleaner, greener future for our children. The idea of re-using and re-purposing is not a funky new proposal propped up by Pinterest, it is age-old: giving and taking. The Swap Shed has both donated to my business and I have had the plea-sure of passing on my un-needed items too. I will be sad to see the Swap Shed

go because lending and giving, borrowing and bartering are ideas that the Swap Shed will close down with it. It would have been honorable for the municipality to offer up a grant to keep this place and the bigger vir-tues of this locality alive. The idea of giving and sharing are magnificent, but in order to keep the items in check, make sure the glass does not break on-the-shelf (so to speak) we need to make sure the shelves are built sturdy, people know the rules, and people respect the place. There needs to be plans in place, rules to be respected, and guidelines to be followed.

Now that the decision has been made to close the shed doors, even though theoretically this decision was predestined long ago, my concern lies with the post closure plan. I was at the Swap Shed today, and there was not one poster wavering in the wind of the upcoming closure. The

regional district needs to be responsible about their decision and have a plan, a post-closure plan. When residents continue bring-ing Swap Shed items over the winter months, clos-ing the shed doors wont magically re-route all the items to the other city thrift shops.

People are creatures of habit and the household belongings will continue to arrive if the advertis-ing does not exist. In two weeks, the doors might close, but the Swap Shed might just as well con-tinue to grow outside if the proper measures are not taken to advertise well. While it is incon-ceivable to think that any leftover piles of Swap Shed materials would be quickly disposed of at the ever-so-convenient land-fill site, it might be nice to have a couple of thrift stores on speed-dial to help collect the re-routed donations.

New-look Spruce Kings take to iceMark Begert wasnt shocked

after being dealt. Kevin Guilti-nan also knew there was a chance hed get moved.

One week ago, the defence-men were on different teams and conferences. Today, theyre teammates on the Prince George Spruce Kings, acquired in sepa-rate B.C. Hockey League deals announced on Thursday.

In a Mainland Division trade, the Spruce Kings sent 1992-born defenceman Bradley Ryan to the Coquitlam Express for Begert, forward Jace Hennig and future considerations. Guiltinan joined the team from the Vernon Vipers, the Spruce Kings exchanging 1993-born forward Liam Board for his services.

The Spruce Kings also received future considerations in the move for Guiltinan, a 17-year-old prod-uct of London, Ont.

I just heard it was a good organization here and that there was a good opportunity to play obviously, come in here and work for everything, he said. But Im excited to be a part of it, and hope to have success moving forward.

Each of the new players on the ros-ter has ties to NCAA Division 1 hockey. While Guiltinan (Harvard) and Hen-nig (Merrimack) have reached com-mitments for the 2014-15 season, Begert was a member of the Bos-ton College Eagles last season.

Begert, a 19-year-old from West Vancouver, had already played a full season with the Express in 2010-11. He said returning to the BCHL wasnt easy. He was

a member of a Boston College squad that won the national championship in April, an orga-nization ranked first in the most recent NCAA Division 1 rank-ings released on Monday.

But the team success wasnt enough. Begert needed more game time to develop and, as the seventh defenceman, wasnt logging the on-ice minutes hed hoped for.

In his rookie BCHL campaign in 2010-11, Begert recorded 11 points (four goals and seven assists) in the full 60 regular-season games.

I kind of had a slow start in Coquitlam, just moving from really only practicing for a whole year to coming back into games, he said. Its a different atmo-sphere and Im kind of getting back into it now. But its a good atmosphere up here, the fans are great. Its good to get in the game here.

Look at their stats, and it may not come as a surprise that Begert and Guiltinan didnt record points in their first two games

with the Spruce Kings, a home dou-bleheader against the Surrey Eagles on the weekend. Overall, Begert has five assists in 25 games and Guil-tinan one helper in 23 games this season.

Guiltinan gives the Spruce Kings size, as hes listed at 6-foot-3 and 205 pounds. Although smaller at 6-feet and 185

pounds, Begert has that invalu-able experience.

We had the ability to move some guys out and bring in two D-men and a forward in the deals, I guess, Spruce Kings general manager Mike Hawes said. In my opinion, it made

our hockey club better, younger. All three of these players will be back next season and that was important as well.

Hennig, a 17-year-old Coquit-lam product, has yet to make his Spruce Kings debut. He injured his shoulder early this month and the Spruce Kings are hope-ful hell make his introduction against the Cowichan Valley Capitals on Dec. 7 at the Coli-seum.

Listed at 5-foot-10 and 175 pounds, Hennig has recorded two goals and four points in 17 games this season. He col-lected 12 points (two goals and 10 assists) in 28 games with the Express in 2011-12.

Hes a natural goal scorer. Hes got a great shot, Begert said. It was really too bad he got injured in Coquitlam because I thought he was going to have a great year down there.

Moving north with Hennig helped make the transition eas-ier. Familiarity with the franchise also helped. Spruce Kings for-ward Cam Lawson was also on the 2010-11 Express, while Begert skated with Paul de Jersey on the West-Vancouver based Hol-lyburn Country Club minor rep teams growing up. In his only season with the Spruce Kings in 2011-12, De Jersey led the team and league in scoring with 41 goals and 57 assists for 98 points.

The forward was named Interior Conference MVP.

(De Jersey) said it was good, Begert said. He said Im going to love the coach, and the orga-nization is great. He had nothing but good things to say.

Surrey won both weekend games in overtime, 2-1 on Friday and 3-2 on Saturday. The Spruce Kings record sits at 12 wins, seven losses, one tie and five overtime defeats (12-7-1-5), good for third in the five-team Main-land Division.

The Spruce Kings are on home ice again this week, hosting the Chilliwack Chiefs in a double-header on Thursday and Friday (7 p.m. at the Coliseum).

Kevin Guiltinan- Trade from Vernon

Alistair McINNIS/Free Press

Prince George Spruce Kings recently acquired defenceman Mark Begert skates the puck back in their zone with Surrey Eagles forward Brett Mulcahy behind him during Saturday evenings game at the Coliseum. The Eagles edged the Spruce KIngs 3-2 in overtime to sweep the B.C. Hockey League doubleheader.

They finished third in a field of eight.

Not a bad position for a host team of a minor hockey tourna-ment. But for the Coast Inn of the North Cou-gars, it wasnt where they were hoping to finish. Results after round-robin action also made it appear as though they were

destined for the cham-pionship game of the Prince George Colum-bia Bitulithic Midget Tier 1 Tournament on the weekend at the Kin Centre.

The Cougars topped Pool A with a 3-0 record. But then came the semifinal round on Saturday eve-ning, where they met Coquitlam, who fin-ished second in Pool B with a 1-0-2 mark.

The visitors edged the Cougars 3-2.

The host team rebounded with a 4-3 triumph over Vernon in Sundays bronze-medal game to fin-ish 4-1 overall. But Cougars head coach Jason Garneau wasnt pleased with their effort in the semifinal.

Give Coquitlam credit, he said. They worked hard. They did the things they needed to do.

Kelowna captured the tournament title, edging Coquitlam 3-2 in a shootout in Sundays champion-ship game. They also won via shootout in the semifinal round, downing Vernon 2-1.

Although Kelowna was also 1-0-2 after the round robin, they were given first place over Coquitlam for record-ing a more positive goals for and against differential. The teams tied 5-5 in their round robin game.

The Cougars opened

their weekend sched-ule with a 7-3 victory over Mission on Friday morning. They edged Chilliwack 3-2 on Fri-day afternoon. The host team returned to the ice Saturday morn-ing for a game against Vernon, winning that contest 7-1.

Pretty happy over-all with the effort for them, Garneau said. Anytime you go 4-1 on a weekend, its a good weekend for you so we just lost the wrong game. But they played well.

Hollyburn (West Vancouver) and the NEBC (Northeast B.C.) Trackers rounded out the competition.

The weekend tour-nament at home was the fourth of the sea-son for the Cougars. Among their results is a first-place finish at a competition in Vernon earlier this month.

With Christmas approaching, the Cou-gars will get a break in their schedule in

December. They host Kamloops in a pair of games on Dec. 8 and 9 at the Elksentre. Later in the month, theyll head south to com-pete in the Richmond International Midget Hockey Tournament, a competition scheduled for Dec. 27 to 31.

The Cougars roster, listed on the Prince George Minor Hockey Association website

(www.pgmha.com), includes six play-ers from last seasons Midget Tier 1 provin-cial championship-winning team: Riley Hawes, Derek Bulmer, Zach Schlitt, Michael Bhatoa, Justin Schwing and goalie Mitch Pro-feit.

The teams other netminder is Riley Druskin. Other players on the team are: Zach

Smith, Todd Bredo, Carson Stephen, Aus-tin Gray, Kyle Serup, Thane Anderson, Cole Morris, Markus Plam-ondon, Treavor Gagne, Nathan Powar, Brogan OBrien, Isaiah Berra and Jordan Low.

Marcel Profeit is the manager, with Ron Powar the teams trainer. Josh Garneau and Sam Muchalla are assistant coaches.

The National Hockey League lock-out doesnt mean qual-ity hockey program-ming has vanished this sea-son.

On Fri-day night, I caught the first episode of On the Edge: The Road to the MasterCard Memorial Cup. If youre a junior hockey fan, this is a must-see.

On the Edge is an eight-part series that follows the Saskatoon Blades on their jour-ney to hosting the 2013 Memorial Cup, the four-team Cana-dian Hockey League championship tourna-ment next May. The documentary has been put together by SportsNet.

You could consider On the Edge a junior version of HBOs Road to the Winter Classic, a series that follows the two NHL teams participating in the annual Winter Classic outdoor game on Jan. 1 (Note: the lockout has resulted

in the cancellation of the Winter Classic and thus, theres no HBO series this year).

On the E d g e t a k e s a close look at the life of Western H o c k e y

League coaches and players. It includes bus trips, pre- and post-game dressing room speeches, trades and more. Early in Episode 1, viewers are introduced to staff and players. The epi-sode ends with Blades head coach/GM Lorne Molleken making a tough decision with a 20-year-old overage position.

For the Prince George Cougars, theres inter-est in the Blades. West-ern Hockey League fans who are aware of the family con-nection between the teams owners (Blades owner Jack Brod-sky is the brother of Cougars owner Rick) may be expecting to see at least one move between the organiza-tions prior to the Jan.

10 trade deadline. It certainly wouldnt come as a shock, with the Blades interested in building a team thatll give them the best opportunity pos-sible at a Memorial Cup title.

With the young tal-ent on the Cougars roster, they may be more willing to give up veterans. But with the team in the playoff hunt, they c e r t a i n l y arent pre-pared to call them-selves sell-ers.

The sec-ond epi-sode of On the Edge is expected to air some-time in mid December.

MOVEMBERThree more days.The last four weeks

have flown by and, with Dec. 1 falling this Saturday, Movem-ber is into the home stretch.

Not only is the moustache not bother-ing me as much, Im

actually having a bit of fun with it now. Well see how things shape up in the final few days.

For most Movem-ber participants, Dec. 1 means its time to finally shave that moustache off. Take out the razer and cut off all of that hair above the upper lip.

Will I be shaving Dec. 1? Not necessar-

ily. T h e

campaign itself and fundrais-ing for p r o s t a t e c a n c e r and mens h e a l t h ends Dec. 1. But t h e r e s nothing in the book

saying I have to shave it off. I might decide to shape it a little more in December, and see what I can come up with.

That noted, I know one thing for certain: when the time comes and the hair goes, Ill realize how much I missed that clean-

shaven feeling. And you wont see me with another moustache until November 2013.

The UNBC Timberwolves first regular-season trip to the prairies didnt treat them kindly.

One weekend in southern Alberta, and the UNBC mens basketball team is back to .500. They were 4-2 when they began the Can-ada West road set in Lethbridge and Calgary.

In their latest game, Saturday against the Calgary Dinos (4-4), UNBC dropped a 72-63 decision. That con-test followed Fri-day evenings 99-90 defeat against the Lethbridge Prong-horns (5-3).

In Saturdays con-test, two UNBC players reached double figures in points, Sam Raphael (15) and Charles Barton (12). Jarred Ogungbemi-Jackson of the Dinos led all scorers with a game-high 24 points.

The Timberwolves sit tied with another 4-4 team, the Thompson Rivers University WolfPack of Kamloops, for fourth in the eight-team Pacific Division. The Vancouver-based UBC Thunder-birds lead the division at 6-2. The Victoria Vikes and Fraser Valley Cascades of Abbotsford sit second with identical 5-3 marks.

The Mount Royal Cougars of Calgary (2-6), Trinity Western Spartans of Langley (2-6) and Kelowna-based UBC Okanagan Heat (1-7) round out the division.

On Thursday, the Timberwolves welcome the top team in the Canada West Universities Ath-letic Association, the Edmonton-based Alberta Golden Bears (7-1). They welcome another Prai-rie Division team, the Saskatchewan Huskies

(5-3), to the North-ern Sport Centre on Saturday.

WOMENThe UNBC wom-

ens basketball team (3-5) will try and snap a three-game losing streak at home this week.

After the Alberta Pandas (4-4) visit the NSC on Thursday, the Saskatchewan Huskies (3-5) come to town on Saturday.

The Timberwolves are coming off a 91-78 defeat against the undefeated Dinos (8-0) at Calgary on

Saturday. Friday in Lethbridge, they fell short against the Pronghorns (4-4) by a 74-58 score.

In Saturdays game, UNBC was led by Kady Dandeneau, who came off the bench to score 18 points. Four other players reached double-digit point totals: Mercedes Van Koughnett (16), Sarah Robin (14), Jennifer Bruce (11) and Emily Kaehn (10). With a game-high 19 points, the Dinos Jes-sica Franz led the scoring parade.

The UNBC games at the NSC this week have the women playing at 6 p.m. with the men following at 8 p.m. Saturday marks the final Canada West regular-season date until 2013, with students entering fall semester final exams and Christmas.
