There’s nothing small about the impact small businesses have on B.C.’s economy according to the 2015 Small Businesses Profile.

“Small business continues to be the economic engine of our province – generating a whopping 33 per cent of the province’s gross domestic product,” Cariboo North MLA and Minister Responsible for Small Business and Red Tape Reduction and Responsible for the Liquor Distribution Branch, Coralee Oakes said.

“I want to thank the thousands of small business owners in communities all around B.C. who contribute so much to our economy and employ more than one million British Columbians.”

Approximately 33 per cent of the province’s gross domestic product is generated by B.C.’s small businesses – well above the Canadian average of 30 per cent.

The Small Business Profile is an annual statistical report which demonstrates the important role small

businesses play in B.C. through job creation, economic investment, exports and contributions to the province’s gross domestic product. Some of the 2015 Profile highlights include:

• For the fourth year in a row, B.C. ranks first in Canada (tied with Saskatchewan) for the number of small businesses per capita with 82.6 small businesses per 1,000 people.

• Small businesses employ over one million British Columbians, which is 54 per cent of all private sector jobs in B.C.

• B.C.’s small businesses

shipped approximately $11 billion worth of merchandise to international destinations in 2014 which is more than one-third of all the goods exported from the province. Forty-two per cent of those goods went to destinations outside the US, which means small businesses are helping strengthen our economy by diversifying our trading relationships beyond North America.

• About 382,600 small businesses were operating in B.C. in 2014, representing approximately 98 per cent of all businesses in the province.

“Small businesses are a cornerstone of the B.C. economy, employing more than one million British Columbians,” George Hunter, CEO Small Business B.C. said.

“These businesses are critical to the economic health of every community in B.C. and we are delighted to enable these entrepreneurs with tools and resources, as well as celebrate their contribution to the well-being of every British Columbian.”

Business is booming: OakesProfile showcases business impact

Lori Cruddas, Heart and Stroke Foundation manager for the Prince George office and Mike Morris, MLA for Prince George – Mackenzie watch as Northern Health Connections bus driver Mike Hyland; and Laine Smith, PAD Program Champion, demonstrate the use of an AED.

NH photo

Potentially lifesaving automated external defibrillators (AEDs) have been installed on all Northern Health Connections buses, enhanc-ing the safety of Northern B.C. residents who use this service to reach out-of-town health-care appointments.

“The Northern Health Connections health-care travel service is essential for patients in the North to get to and from out-of-town med-ical appointments and this added safety feature is great news for local residents,” Shirley Bond, MLA for Prince George-Valemount said.

“Having an affordable, reliable travel system helps relieve stress for patients, allowing them to focus their energies on their health.”

The Heart and Stroke Foundation provided the AEDs through the BC Public Access to Defibrillation Program (BC PAD program), a partnership with the B.C. Government and B.C. Emergency Health Services, to place AEDs in public places. AEDs deliver a shock that helps restore normal heart rhythm in people in cardiac arrest and have been proven to be effective in saving lives if used in a timely man-ner.

“Sudden cardiac arrest can strike anyone at any time and the use of an AED combined with CPR can significantly increase chances of survival,” Mike Morris, Prince George-Mack-enzie MLA said.

“With these additional AEDs, Northern pa-tients will have added safety on the road.”

AEDs are very user-friendly, as they provide a series of voice and visual instructions once they are powered on. All Northern Health Connec-tions bus drivers have attended an orientation session provided by a BC Ambulance Service paramedic, which included AED and CPR training. An added benefit of having AEDs on board the buses is that they could be used roadside on a member of the general public found to be experiencing sudden cardiac arrest.

“Patient safety is key on our Northern Health Connections bus service and adding the automated defibrillation devices on all units will help enhance our response for riders if needed,” Michael McMillan, Northern Health Chief Operating Officer said.

“We are thankful for the BC PAD program, which allows us to address the potential for sudden cardiac arrest.”

The Northern Health Connections bus service provides an affordable transportation option for Northern B.C. residents to reach out-of-town health-care appointments. In ad-dition to the announcement of the AEDs, one coach and two mini coach buses have replaced older vehicles in the fleet as part of a new five-year contract and Northern Health’s commit-ment to continuous improvement in service and safety.

The new coach services the long-haul routes between Vancouver, Prince George and Prince Rupert. The new mini coaches travel to Fort St. John twice a week and service the three-day-a-week route between Fort St. John and Dawson Creek. The new coach bus holds 44 people, while the mini coaches hold 26 people and now include bathrooms.

The Connections bus service is offered in partnership with contractor Diversified Trans-portation and offers five coaches and six mini coach buses for both short- and long-haul routes. Routes on the Northern Health Con-nections bus service start at $20 round-trip, and trips can now be booked online through the new online reservation system at nhconnec-tions.ca.

Hippotherapy comes to QuesnelPippa Hodge, well-known physiotherapist and therapeutic riding instructor, recently made her way to Quesnel to share a wealth of knowl-edge in using horses to benefit those who face physical, emotional and mental health challenges. The workshop, hosted by CHAAPS on Sept. 25 – 26, was a huge success. Pippa presented “Introduction to Hippotherapy: For Therapeutic Riding Instructors” using lectures, round table discussions and valuable hands-on-training. Generous donations from The Quesnel Community Foundation and the Horse Council of B.C. made it possible to bring this well-respected educator to the Cariboo and allowed participants from Terrace, Telkwa, Prince George, Quesnel, Williams Lake, Kamloops and Vernon, to attend affordably. CHAAPS is proud to have been able to host a work-shop of this calibre and so very grateful for the grants received.

In a statement in the legislature, Premier Christy Clark underscored the importance of stability in Canada-United States softwood lumber trade to British Columbia.

The 2006 Softwood Lumber Agreement between Canada and the U.S. expires on Oct. 12, 2015.

The current agreement ended five years of litigation and returned $4 billion of $5 billion in duties collected by the U.S. to Canadian producers, with over half ($2.4 billion) returned

to B.C. companies. In addition, the agreement created the Bi-National Softwood Lumber Council that has grown the market for wood products in the U.S.

Over the past two years, B.C. has been working with the federal government seeking an extension or renewal of the softwood lumber agreement. So far the U.S. has not been willing to discuss renewing or extending the agreement.

“B.C.’s forest industry is too important to take for granted. For

lumber producers, and the communities throughout the province that depend on them, we need to avoid an unnecessary trade dispute with our most significant market,” Clark said.

“When the new federal government is formed, this is the first issue I’ll be raising with the new prime minister.”

“Under the Softwood Lumber Agreement, the

U.S. cannot launch any trade litigation for one-year after the expiry of the agreement,” Minister of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations Steve Thomson said.

“We continue to work closely with the B.C. forest industry, other provinces and the federal government to ensure B.C.’s priorities are clearly communicated.”

British Columbia has made great strides in opening up new markets for softwood lumber in Asia, but the U.S. is still British Columbia’s largest market. In late November Thomson will be leading a forestry trade mission to Japan and China to maintain and expand B.C.’s second and third largest markets for softwood lumber products.

FEEDBACK

Editor:The Mayor of

Wells, Mayor Robin Sharpe, and I have a small wager on this Monday’s federal election (October 19th).

Not on the outcome, or who will win

our riding, but on the voter turnout in our respective communities.

The mayor of the community with the lowest voter turnout will fly the other community’s flag and wear something

representing the other community during a council meeting; there’s also Barkerville Brewery growler involved.

The intent of our wager is not to embarrass the “losing” community

(or it’s mayor).Our intent is to

simply motivate more people to make the time to vote in this federal election.

This is a critical election for our region. We need a strong voice in

Ottawa to help us marshal the resources we need to assist us to manage through this transition period.

By all counts our riding is competitive for the first time in a long time – so every vote will count.

Please, for our community’s sake (and to avoid having the indignity of flying Wells’ flag on our flagpole!) make the time to mark a ballot on Monday, October 19.

The health of

our democracy is dependent on the engagement of its citizens.

Mayor Bob SimpsonQuesnel

Trade deal doesn’t fix U.S. lumber issue: HarperLog exports not expanded in Trans-Pacific Partnership

TOM FLETCHERBlack Press

The Trans-Pacific Partnership agree-ment doesn’t resolve Canada’s long-run-ning dispute with the United States over softwood lumber, or remove restrictions on log exports from B.C.

Prime Minister Stephen Harper said the Canadian govern-ment would like to renew the Canada-U.S. softwood agree-ment, expired as of Thanksgiving Day. It’s a side deal outside the North American Free Trade Agreement, and it won’t be covered by the Pacific Rim trade either.

“Obviously we would like to see this agreement move forward, and I think industry on both sides of the border would, but for reasons that

were not entirely clear, the American administration hasn’t seen it that way,” Harper said in an interview with Black Press.

“In terms of forest-ry, what the TPP does do is provide new tariff-free access to many Asian countries, including enhanced access to the Japanese market.”

Restrictions on log exports from B.C. are also not eased by the TPP, which includes Japan, Malaysia, Viet-nam, New Zealand and Australia. B.C.’s control over Crown land log prices has long been an irritant with the U.S. and Japan, while private and aboriginal land log producers are restricted by federal rules.

“B.C. was able to ensure that both pro-

vincial and federal log export controls will not change as a result of the TPP, despite pressure from Japan to eliminate them,” B.C. International Trade Minister Teresa

Wat said in a state-ment. “B.C.’s objec-tives for the forestry sector during the TPP negotiations were to gain market access for forestry products to important TPP mar-

kets such as Japan, while maintaining existing log export controls.”

Premier Christy Clark said this week her first call to Ot-tawa after the Oct. 19

federal election will be about continuing the U.S. softwood lumber talks. Harper expressed confidence that despite the his-tory of U.S. legal and trade actions over

the years, the existing deal can be extended.

“We’ve managed to export a lot of lumber over the years and I’m confident we will continue to,” Harper said.

Come together

Voting day is almost upon us. On Monday (Oct. 19), the federal election

campaign will come to an end and the time will come for us to exercise our right, our privilege and our responsibility.There is every reason to vote.

The Conservatives, Liberals, NDP and Greens have had 11 weeks to convince us of the comparative merits of their parties, their policies and their priorities. We’re being offered totally different visions of what Canada means and more importantly, what it can mean. It’s a wide spectrum. Anyone who argues that all politicians are the same simply hasn’t been paying close enough attention.This election, or any election,

shapes Canadian identity, sometimes subtly, sometimes not so subtly.It’s true that a lot of what we’ve

been hearing these many weeks are just promises and some of the promises won’t be kept.But that doesn’t mean we’re

hearing nothing but lies – we’re hearing goals and aspirations and they’re worthy ones. We should believe, to some extent and we should hope, always.This election matters to all of us.

What happens in Ottawa resonates here. The federal government has a say on matters that affect our very households, not to mention our neighbourhoods, city, province, nation, the rest of the world and the planet Earth.Some will tell us to vote because

people have fought and died for our democratic rights and certainly that’s a fair point. But elections are less about our country’s past and more about its future. If we’re unhappy with the last government, that’s fine, as long as we’re thinking about what’s next. Maybe change will bring a better Canada.Maybe we should change this way,

or that way.Even before we mark our ballots on

voting day, we will make a decision: to vote, or to do nothing. Will we be the ones who will care about Canada? And if not us, then whom?

For several months I noticed a building being constructed in

a West Kelowna parking lot where Zellers used to be. As the structure took form I’d try and guess what it was going to be every time I drove by it. I wasn’t curious enough to inquire with the construction workers or any of my friends who might be in the know. Instead I asked nothing until the signs went up. After that my first ques-tion was: why?

It was a Dollarama - our fourth dollar store in West Kelowna and second Dollarama location. After watching at least two other dollar stores close up shop within close proximity, I wondered how many of these types of businesses a relatively small city needed?

With so many buildings nearby that have been vacant for years, even right in that very same shop-ping mall, I also couldn’t understand the logic behind building a brand new structure. I fully admit to knowing nothing about commercial real estate or re-tail business – but I did wish they’d opened up a family or youth friendly establish-ment instead. I was pictur-ing an affordable ping pong hall with an attached eatery and pub.

When we moved to West Kelowna 15 years ago with our first baby there were some fun places to go as a family: a bowling alley, wa-ter slides and Old MacDon-ald Farm with animals and an outdoor swimming pool. By the time our second child was a toddler five years later, those places were gone and replaced with more profitable condos and retail stores.

Now my children are 15 and 12 and have started hanging out with their friends more often than they do their parents. They like to hop on the bus and head to the movies, coffee shops, fast food restaurants, or the stores to wander around.

I gripe about the lack of fun places there are for kids, but when I stop and think about it, there may be more for them to do where we live now than there was for us growing up back then.

In the nice weather there

are so many beautiful beaches and parks for the kids to hang out, as well as many different outdoor attractions and activities to choose from. And in the colder weather there seem to be more options, not less. Within a half hour drive from our place in West Kelowna there are big indoor play places, arcades, bowling alleys, pools and a large assortments of sports facilities including ice skat-ing facilities, if not retro roller rinks.

My 15 year old son came home a few nights ago after hanging out with his friends and said he’d been to youth. I had no idea what he meant.

“Youth,” he repeated. “It’s this place you go and hang out with your friends and play pool or games and eat snacks and stuff. It’s fun.”

“How much was it?” I asked.

“Nothing,” he said. “It’s free.”

He was almost right. It’s $10 - but that fee covers the kid for an entire year. It turned out to be a program put on by the Boys and Girls Club and it runs after school weekdays at the Westbank Lions Commu-nity Centre on Main Street. There’s also a Friday one at the Boys and Girls Club in

Glenrosa.I had no idea. We spent a

lot of time at the Boys and Girls Club when the kids were younger, but I had no clue they also catered spe-cifically to tweens and teens.

Editor:Re: Why Not Harper?There are many reasons

that Canadians are unhappy with the Harper government. The following websites list a range of concerns. You can go to www.whynotharper.ca for 25 reasons that Steven Harper is bad for Canada or go to www.huffingtonpost.ca/sarah-miller2/canada-election-2015_b_7967240.html for 10 reasons to vote for anyone but Harper.

Of the 35 reasons listed in these websites there is one that stands out as critically important and is reason alone not to vote for Harper. It is titled: “Sabotaging efforts to deal with climate change.” It goes on to state, “Protect-ing the interests of large oil companies, Harper has fought global efforts to deal with climate change. In 2009, he cut science research funding by $138 million and imposed limitations on scientists at En-vironment Canada, requiring that they obtain permission to do interviews and often screened their responses. The result is that Canadian media coverage of climate change scientists has been reduced by 80 per cent. His efforts here have been so destructive, that in 2009 prominent politi-cians and scientists called for Canada to be removed from the Commonwealth. The last time this mark of shame was used, was against South Africa

while it was still under racist apartheid rule. No one who recognizes that climate change is upon us can debate this is detrimental to our continued survival.

Thank you to the 550 plus of you who signed the Pledge to Vote Together campaign for the Lead Now organization. Lead Now is an independent non-profit organization that promotes democracy, trans-parency and a green economy. Lead Now has now completed a crowd-funded poll of this riding. They hired Environ-ics, a well-respected Canadian polling and market research company, which called 500 people about their voting preferences over this past weekend. The results of the poll are 7 per cent undecided, 36 per cent NDP, 30 per cent Conservative and 29 per cent Liberal and 5 per cent Green. There is a 4.4 per cent margin of error.

Lead Now poll shows that the NDP candidate, Trent Derrick has the best chance of beating the Conservative candidate in this riding.

We need all the voters who pledged to vote together to vote for the NDP and if a good portion of the unde-cided will vote this way, with any luck we will put Steven Harper out to pasture. Please get out to vote; every vote counts.

Custom-ers were invited to compete in the biggest pumpkin contest early in the season. Irene Pepper won handily with her 388-pound pumpkin, Mackin Creek Farm came second with a 139-pound specimen and again Irene took third with a 132-pound giant.

Trails, horses, people and adventure along the Nuxalk-Carrier Grease Trail is the topic of a newly published book In the Footsteps of Alexander Mackenzie.

The book follows 25-year-old archaeological field assistant Carol Blacklaws, her field partner Darly Fedge and their job-dog Fadra as they followed Canada’s most epic yet least commemorated trail – The Alexander Mack-enzie Nuxalk-Carrier Grease Trail. Their work entailed surveying 450 kilometers of trail, recording and mapping archaeological sites from the Blackwater River through Tweedsmuir Provincial Park, hiking up and over the Rain-bow Mountains to ultimately end in Bella Coola on the Pacific Coast.

In the late 70s and early 80s, the Government of British Columbia commissioned the archaeological study of the Nuxalk-Carrier Grease Trail, the ancient First Nations’ trading route between Nazko and Bella Coola. This was also the route explorer Alex-ander Mackenzie followed in 1793 during the first docu-

mented crossing of the North American continent.

Part memoir, part photo journal, the book tells the story of the ranchers, the Lhoosk’uz (Kluskus) Dene – a people whose origins in the area go back 4,000 years – and the author’s awareness that the vast survey area was so much more than just a trail designation.

Forty hand-tinted black and white photographs by Rick Blacklaws bring the author’s words and experiences to life. Maps and sidebar essays provide in-depth background information.

This book is for everyone who has been drawn into the grandeur of the vast Cariboo-Chilcotin landscapes and

intrigued by the legends that lived there.

Through memoir, it de-scribes the uniquely Canadian characters that lived along the trail and the fate of the Mackenzie Nuxalk-Carrier Grease Trail describing why the trail wasn’t recognized as a heri-tage jewel for Canada.

Author Carol Blacklaws will be presenting her book through the Heritage Speak-ers Series at Shiraoi House, Oct. 22, 7 – 8 p.m. then a book launch and slide show at Books and Company in Prince George, Oct. 23, 7 – 8 p.m., and finally Saturday, Oct. 24, 1 – 3 p.m. at The Open Book, in Williams Lake for a Meet the Author.

Jennifer McGregor has been working at the Quesnel and District Arts and

Recreation Centre for 26 years. She started at 16 years old.

As a child she lived with her parents who wanted to make sure all of their

four daughters knew how to swim from an early age, so they built a backyard pool. The girl became proficient and Jennifer and one of her sisters became quite competitive at swim meets.

I met Jen when my husband was wheelchair bound. She gave him swimming lessons which he loved and they had a special rapport. She used the lift to get him in and out of the water.

She has several clients each week including a stroke victim.

Lynn Dunkley was in an accident some time ago and Jen encouraged her to try swimming as part of her recovery. She learned quickly and had such confidence because of Jen’s encouragement, that she would take her wheelchair to the deep end and plunge right in.

However, most people who use a wheelchair get in and out by the lift which is safe for anyone up to 600 pounds. Jen makes sure that people don’t feel they are on display. The hot tub is also available for those who can access it.

Jen also works with children of all ages and she especially enjoys her class with children from four months to five years of age.

For people facing surgery, doctors will often recommend a session in the pool before and

during recovery. A referral is not necessary but Jen will meet with you and discuss your program.

Lynn says the swimming program helped her tremendously. I agree with with her that Jen is an upbeat, open-hearted person. Everyone I talk to is glad to know her.

LNG I NDUSTRIAL PDATEUStarting this week

British Columbia’s natural gas sector will be featured at the third annual international liquefied natural gas (LNG) conference.

As part of the event, the introduction of the GameChanger Youth Expo will be a major highlight of this years’ conference.

GameChanger is a new, dynamic competition providing students of all ages an opportunity to showcase their creative-thinking skills to delegates attending British Columbia’s annual flagship LNG event. Over 1,600 students from throughout the province will participate in 12 competitions linked to energy, technology and trades.

Challenges will take place on the tradeshow floor of the conference in Vancouver, Oct. 14-16. Work BC’s Find Your Fit and LNG-Buy BC also will have a presence at the conference, which is expected to have over 3,000 participants.

Over the last three years, the conference has become a key part of the government’s work to promote British Columbia’s growth potential in natural gas to global markets.

Thousands of jobs and business ventures have been linked to the industry for over 50 years.

GameChanger and the LNG Conference are taking place in British Columbia during Natural Gas Week, Oct. 11-17, 2015. Updates from the event, as well as facts about natural gas sector, can be found

online by following @BCJobsPlan and the hashtag #LNGinBC2015.

Media interested in attending the LNG Conference can register in advance using the contact details below.

“British Columbia’s natural sector is growing and international interest continues to shine on our province’s energy future,” Rich Coleman, Minister of Natural Gas Development said.

“This is a time for us to recognize the significance of this industry and the generational opportunity we have to create new jobs.”

“With a wide range of job openings expected in British Columbia, we need to ensure that British Columbians, especially our budding workforce, have the information and training they

need to seize a wide range of opportunities,” Shirley Bond, Minister of Jobs, Tourism and Skills Training and Minister Responsible for Labour added.

WorkBC’s Find Your Fit interactive booth is one of the ways we’re reaching out to youth. It brings a wealth of career information to students in local communities and the opportunity for them to test their skills. To date, more than 55,000 participants in 43 communities throughout B.C. have visited our booth, and we hope to reach more British Columbians as the booth continues its tour around the province.”

Quick Facts:• The 2015

International LNG in BC Conference - Clean Energy. Reliable Partner

RYAN GRAHAMObserver Reporter

Although, it has been rumoured that hockey numbers are decreasing, it’s actually the opposite. Hockey Canada’s Vice President of Hockey Development, Paul Carson says they’ve seen an in-crease, especially in the women’s game.

“We’re seeing the same upward growth trends around the world that we’re seeing in Canada with more and more girls coming to the game,” Carson said.

“For the game’s sake that’s very positive to see that kind of growth and that kind of interest. Traditionally, some countries don’t spend a lot of time focusing on the development of the sport. In general we’re seeing a high level of interest in the sport of women’s hockey.”

Carson says the men’s game has increased slightly, but has also seen great increases in a few areas. Quesnel District Minor Hockey Association has also seen an increase compared to previous years.

According to President of the QD-MHA, Dave Greenwood, they have 382 players, which is 40 more than last year, with their biggest increase in the Mites and Midget division. It’s important that they’ve seen an increase in Mites because that’s the youngest division, where players start off. If they continue to receive strong numbers there, it will build the future for the QDMHA, as those kids will move on to higher divisions.

The cost of the sport has made head-lines when you compare it to other sports, but Carson doesn’t believe that’s the issue.

“I don’t know if cost has ever been the main concern,” Carson said.

He also said that Hockey Canada along with Bauer did research on the topic and came up with four issues. They include cost, safety, fun and time commitment.

“Our participation model has to continue to make adjustments based on what families look for in a sport experi-ence,” Carson said.

The growth can also be seen on a wide scale. Due to the success the Olympics has seen, the game is becoming popu-lar not only in the hockey-dominant countries.

The Toronto Maple Leafs and Hockey Canada went to China last year for two

weeks to grow the game in the region. Carson says the trip focused on skill camps and creating development plans. He thinks the Olympics and World Cup of Hockey are huge in bringing attention to the sport.

“There’s no question the Olympics and World Cup of Hockey have that world wide impact on increased awareness and

interest in participating in the sport,” Carson said. He believes smaller com-munities who host events like the 2017 Telus Cup, which Prince George will host are crucial.

“Obviously it brings a certain level of heightened awareness around Midget and Triple A hockey in the province and across the country. I think locally it cre-

ates that opportunity for the fan base to support hockey and ultimately through that, be apart of the legacy funds that push it right back into the community,” Carson said.

With hockey continuing to grow not only in Canada, but globally, it brings awareness to the sport that is loved by many.

October 18 - 24, 2015ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20Aries, you can’t seem to focus your attention on one thing this week. However, wandering thoughts may put you in touch with some better ideas.

TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21Taurus, you may like to tackle projects on your own, but sometimes letting someone else pitch in can provide a fresh perspective and a new way of doing things.

GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21It’s time to get serious about your job-seeking efforts, Gemini. Start putting out feelers and see what is available. Also, fine-tune your résumé to get noticed.

CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22Cancer, while success brings you many things, it can feel lonely at the top. Make some time to reconnect and hang out with friends this week.

LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23Leo, listen more than you speak in the coming days. You can learn so much more by remaining quiet and taking it all in, and others will appreciate your attentiveness.

VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22Virgo, after an exciting event, life may seem a little mundane for a while. Happiness is what you make of it. Try a new hobby or make some new friends.

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23Expand your social circles and you may meet some influential new people, Libra. This can only help your reputation and open up new doors to various opportunities.

SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22Scorpio, take control of a situation that comes to light this week. No one else seems capable of tak-ing the reins but you. Chances are you will be an excellent leader.

SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21Sagittarius, you may be unable to keep everything organized this week. Don’t fret, as you need not be in complete control at every moment.

CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20Capricorn, you may be inspired to do something creative but don’t know where to begin. Pisces may be a good source of inspiration. You can work on a project together.

AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18Aquarius, make the necessary changes in your life to put primary goals back on target. These may be career or fitness goals or even plans to increase family time.

PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20Pisces, this week may start off a little differently than most, but by midweek you will find your groove.

Quesnel football put on quite a show Oct. 3 with the Cor-relieu Clansmen and Junior Bantam Bomb-ers coming out on top. The Clansmen made a statement in their game defeating Kelly Road of Prince George 55-0.Quarterback Damon Giesbrecht had more than 200 yards passing with three touchdowns to Bryce Falconer, Ma-syn Schwemmer and Dylan Cathcart.

They were equally effective on the ground, as they picked up four touchdowns courtesy of Giesbrecht, Falconer, Jeremy Mullin and Will Pagarut.

The defence was out-standing, shutting out Kelly Road. The high-light was a interception

by Scooter Van Voght, that was run back for a touchdown. The offensive line had a great game, al-lowing their quarterback plenty of time to convert

on his passes. The Junior Bantam Bombers finished their season undefeated with a 44-10 win against Vanderhoof. The Bomb-ers dominated on the

offensive side with three touchdowns by Brett Neighboor and Denny Law threw a touchdown pass and ran for another.

The linebacking duo

of Gage Popic and Zach Lightening combined for 18 tackles, two sacks and an interception. The Bombers have a bye into the final round of

the playoffs with Prince George and Vanderhoof fighting it out to see who will play Quesnel for the Northern Zone Champi-onship.

Industrial re safety rules tightenedThe B.C. government

has introduced changes to WorkSafeBC legislation in the wake of fatal dust explosions at two northern B.C. sawmills in 2012.

MLAs are debating a bill that requires employers to report all workplace res or explosions that had the potential to cause serious injury to a worker, require employer investigation reports to be posted or reported to employees, and allows WorkSafeBC to help workplace health and safety committees to resolve disagreements over health and safety issues.

Two mill workers died and 20 others were injured when an explosion and re tore through the Babine Forest Products sawmill on Jan. 20, 2012. On April 23, 2012 a similar explosion killed two workers and injured 22 more employees at Lakeland Mills in Prince George.

No criminal charges were laid in either event, and the B.C, government earlier changed WorkSafe investigation procedures to protect evidence in

cases that could lead to prosecution.

B.C. exports up in AugustThe value of B.C. exports

increased 0.9 per cent in August, mainly due to increased sales to the United States and a strong year for salmon and fruit sales.

Compared to totals up to August 2014, agriculture and food products export value jumped 22.7 per cent in the rst eight months of this year, according to the latest Statistics Canada gures. Whole salmon exports were up 48 per cent and fruit and nut sales up 44.5 per cent for the period.

The value of energy products dropped 22.2 per cent up to August, driven by a slump in natural gas prices and a drop in value of coal exports. That was partly overcome by a 73 per cent surge in electricity exports for the period, although at

lower prices for an increase in value of 32 per cent.

The value of solid wood exports was up 4.3 per cent year over year, and pulp and paper exports grew by 3.5 per cent.

Advance voting up

Early birds were out in force for the Oct. 19

federal election, with an estimated 71 per cent increase in voters Canada-wide making it to advance polls compared to the 2011 election.

Elections Canada estimates that 507,920 people voted in B.C. polling stations, up from 259,278 in the 2011 vote.
