Its been ten years since the CIBC staff hosted and helped serve their first Seniors Christmas Dinner. And while there are many repeat consumers, the number of participants has been steadily on the rise as more and more seniors age in place.

Its been fun to organize, said former CIBC Manager Darlene

Theissen who remains involved even after retiring a few years ago. Weve served hundreds of pounds of turkey, mashed pota-

toes and gravy in that time.

The popular full-course Christmas dinner consistently sees a crowd of over one hundred people. I buy gifts all year, in prepa-

ration for the following season, said Theissen. With proceeds

from several fundraisers and donations, the food is purchased locally and given over to the Legion kitchen staff who do the

cooking and clean-up.

Students from FLESS assist with set-up and serving and this years assembly line of 14

students got 124 plates of pip-ing hot food from kitchen to table in under 15 minutes.

Following the meal, the students performed a skit featuring Mr & Mrs Clause working-out to a funky beat. The per-formance showcased the hilarious and slightly inept dance moves of the out of shape pair. A carol sing with piano accompaniment by Judy LaRoque topped off the afternoon of fun.

Big crowd for Christmas dinner

Dec.10th marks the one year announcement from Endako Mine

One year ago on December 10th, the phone lines and emails lit up the screens at Endako Mine with the news - Due to weak market prices, Thompson Creek has agreed to place Endako molybdenum mine on temporary suspension effective December 31st.

Within days of that announcement, the tap opened and mine workers began to pour from the offices, from behind the wheel of haul trucks and from every department until now one year later, the place is a virtual moon-scape of deserted buildings and abandoned equipment. While a skeleton crew remain on-site to babysit the property, most of the 350 member work force has disappeared.

The Mines demise began with a temporary suspension in December 2014 which led to a shutdown of operations in the spring of

2015, morphing to care & maintenance in the lazy days of summer and in November when they were granted the legal status of per-manent closure, the death knell sounded. During this year-long process, declining ore prices have shown no recovery.

Looking for a job? Tired of sending out resumes? Have you ever considered self employment?

At the recent Open House at CNC, Randy Turcotte Chair of Community Futures talked about self employment and business planning and how it just takes one good idea and some serious commitment to start a small business.

Take it from someone who has been suc-cessfully self-employed for twenty years... Randy & Glenda Turcotte. They had an idea to branch into the water service indus-try, and according to Randy, It made all

the difference in the world.

As Randy says, they had the idea and a basic plan but no financing. We went to Com-

munity Futures with our plan twenty years ago. We needed money and the bank wouldnt talk to us. We pitched them our

plan and they endorsed us.

Community Futures not only financially backed their start-up, but provided men-toring.

Our weak point was marketing and they

sent us to a marketing seminar and from there, it all fell together, said Turcotte of

their experience with the lender.

Community Futures is not just there to lend money for your start-up business idea. Their goal is to mentor and assist you to be successful in your business.

The volunteer board at Community Fu-tures is a mix of people from professions in banking, law, contractors, retirees to stay-at-home Mums. Their role is to vote on the viability of your plan and make recommen-dations so the application will be a success-ful one.

Our board members dont want to stand

between you and your dream. They will do what they can to assist, said Turcotte.

Business plans that seek board approval are

at least 75% successful. And if they are denied we explain where the plan falls short and make recommendations to im-prove it. According to Turcotte, financial concerns only come into play about 10% of the time.

The first step in starting your own business is to grow the idea. Once its committed to paper you can make an appointment with a Community Futures Business Analyst to discuss its viability.

There are various categories of loans and depending how much is needed for start-up, it may progress very quickly. Loans up to $3000 can almost be rubber stamped, and anything up to $75,000 would need not only board approval but perhaps more than one board to be involved.

Along with entrepreneurs, Community Futures offers assistance to non-profits through Crowd-Funding.

There is much speculation about the property everyone has an opinion about the month, year and time it will reopen. The mar-ket will recover and the lunchrooms will fill again with employ-ees, of that everyone is sure.

Following the initial announcement, some workers transitioned from Endako to Thompson Creeks Mount Milligan mine north

of Ft St James, without a single day in lost time. Office staff were awarded a variety of severance packages in December and hourly workers were let go according to union agreements a few months later.

Regardless of how you were released from the HILL job chang-

es were forced on you that you may not have otherwise consid-ered. If your plan was to raise a family here and work at the Mine or work for another five years before retiring here, YOU were forced to STOP and re-evaluate. Many of the paycheck-dependant citizens of the community were robbed of the oppor-tunity to plan ahead and secure their future.

In response to being let go, many workers converted back into jobs once held in the forest industry- driving truck or heavy equipment for local private contractors. Tradesmen were lapped up quickly, some going to other mines, others going to the oil patch, others to Vanderhoof or other mills like Plateau or Babine. The work hours of those jobs were different. The normal four-on/four-off became seven-in/seven-out OR two-weeks-in/two-out.and families at home had to make quick adjust-

ments to the new schedules. Calendars had to be recon-figured to indicate HOME and time AWAY. Holidays, birthdays and Christmas dinner plans were penciled in where possible and summer holiday plans were nixed.

In all of this change, FL Sawmill proudly accepted their role as the biggest industrial employer in town and welcomed many of the well-trained and hard working folks into their family. They are to be thanked for stepping up and addressing a need.

Folks are doing what they have to do. Some moved on. Some moved back to family, while some folks stayed put. Some accept-ed early retirement and looked at hobbies and the-honey-do-list as a way to keep themselves busy. Some went north, others south and some hunkered in to wait for Moly to bounce back. After

all, its done this before. Moly is a global commodity, and the prices rise and fall with the stock market.

For as many workers who lost jobs there are that many stories about where theyve gone. And its fair to say, from first glimpse,

things dont seem too changed in the community and area. Toi-

lets flush, lights come on and vehicles still park n driveways.

To say the closure of the biggest employer hasnt affected change

would be untrue. To say there arent folks struggling to keep

their heads above water would be false. To say We are okay,

would be a reach.

Natural resource industry unemployment is not just a localized situation, and knowing it s happening in other provinces,

doesnt keep the wolf from the door. Economists predict BC and

Ontario are forecasted to experience their biggest growth in 2016. BCs economy is becoming increasingly focused on devel-

oping the liquefied natural gas (LNG) sector and with that devel-opment will come future employment. In 2014 a job skills study predicted BC to have more than one million job openings by 2022; more than 78% of them will require post-secondary edu-cation & 44% will be in skilled trades and technical occupations.

The nature of jobs in this country are changing to something called knowledge-based. A highly educated workforce is re-quired to produce value-added products and services. Econo-mists are calling it a skills mismatch. By 2016, a million un-skilled unemployed workers will be looking for jobs that re-quire 1.5 million skilled workers.

Stats and predictions are useful tools to plan for the future, alt-hough rural, small-town demographics rarely fit into the mold. We only have to look around to appreciate that our best bet for job creation lies in natural resource extraction. Yet few could argue that green technology, digital media and life sciences are

the up and coming face of industry jobs in urban centers.

Yes we are resilient folks here is rural. We live in the heart of the wilderness with a major roadway through its

middle. We have trees and rocks and lakes and animals, birds and fish. And while its nice to rest on the laurels of what our natural landscape has to offer, there are very few among us who live entirely off the land, without income for taxes and gas and food and cell phones.

Heaps of rhetorical data is at everyone's fingertips and we can quote it until the cows come home. At the end of the

day, the way forward starts with that first BIG step. With staff and resources now in place, self employment and/or training support is available right here in our own community.

The Ministry of Advanced Education awarded CNC $150,000 to support upgrading and training for anyone in Fraser Lake and area who was impacted by the Endako shutdown. The intent of the funding is to help workers develop new skills to complement their existing levels of expertise and experience.

CNC coordinators invites people to contact them about future training possibilities. To date they have offered OFA First Aid, and Basic Security Training. Free training is now available includ-ing academic upgrading, adult dogwood, computer skills and certificate training. Contact Bob Storey or Wendy Galvin at the FL Learning Center

The Employment Program of BC (EPBC) is available to all unem-ployed workers who seek employment in BC. The program of-fers a wide range of services that support job seekers in improv-ing employment readiness and finding employment.

Mine Closure has impacted every resident

By CAO Rod Holland

The closure of Endako Mine was a significant development in our community. The closure impacted every resident; regardless of whether or not you were an employee. The closure has prompted changes in the way our community works and interacts. With a significant number of wage earners working away in camps or other communities for extended periods of time, their absence from our community is felt. In many instances, their absence has resulted in a level of stress for their families and to some extent our community. And because of those extended periods away, when parents return home family time is very precious. It is com-mon to have less time with friends or participation in the commu-nity activities.

As a community we are challenged with finding innovative ways to provide opportunities to be active and interactive in our Commu-nity. We would like to make family time better and more engag-ing by providing interesting and interactive activities. Public skate, Community Family Fun night, the Charity Hockey Game and Family Social are events supported by the Village as they pro-vide wholesome entertainment and bring community together.

We also need to support those important volunteer activities that ensure our community remains vibrant and safe. It is so important to recognize the contributions of those who take the time to coach sports, support seniors, support programs to the schools, and par-ticipate in the volunteer Fire Department or the Ambulance Ser-vices.

Fraser Lake is a great place to live. We live here because of the people and because we can enjoy an active and engaged lifestyle. Having good schools, good amenities, and good extracurricular programing doesnt hurt either.

Checkers (a short story) By Virginia Carraway Stark It was a beautiful day for gardening, at least it was a beautiful day in theory. In practice, what can appear to be the perfect day by Dry William Lake just outside of Fraser Lake British Co-lumbia can in reality be an utterly beset day for gardening. It starts with the hoards of black flies that emerge from the moist soil in late April or early May and progresses to mosquitoes that dot the air like fleets of black helicopters and finally climaxes in wasps and hornets that build their nests quickly and wildly everywhere in a mad dash to finish before the first frost. After that: It's winter again and there is nothing to beset you until the snow-fleas freckle the 'leaving snow' starting as early as February. When I say it was a 'beautiful' day for 'gardening', what I actually mean was that it was a day when there was a bit of wind so the black flies weren't eating me too badly and it was too early for mosquitoes and wasps to be in attack mode yet... oh, also my 'gardening', I actually mean hacking at overgrown brush to clear it enough for it to one day become a vegetable garden. I had my hair tied back and tucked up into a baseball cap. My pants were tucked into my socks to keep the creepy crawlies out and the long sleeves of my shirt tucked into my gloves, somehow these areas would still be invaded by the end of the day by bits of bracken and black flies but it was better than what would happen if I didn't take these measures! I had a set of long snips with a mouth on them like a parrot's and I was using it to snip the little willows and

poplars that spring up and grow quicker than you can cut them before the hardness of the frost even leaves the ground Those long snips were the first thing I thought of to use as a weapon when I met Checkers. There were complications to arming myself that as I was working on taking down the brush and imagining the beautiful garden that would one day grow there, had in no way crossed my mind at that point. The complica-tions were ten little goslings who all believed me to be their Mama Goose. For anyone who knows goslings, they bond fiercely with the first person that they see and in the case of these ten little babies, I was their Mother. It must be a reciprocal connection because I was crazy about those little goslings. They would come out and garden with me and eat the bugs out of the air and the weeds out of the garden bed. Geese are nature's best weeders if you teach them when they are babies to eat the weeds you want to get rid of. They naturally develop a palate for whatever you feed them most and will avoid weeds or plants that they are unfamiliar with. Ten little goslings fluttered around me on the ground and my puppy played guard dog to them, romping and playing around them. I set the clippers down and sat on the ground. I was instantly swarmed by the goslings who ran under the edg-es of my over shirt like it was a skirt of Mama Goose feathers and nuzzled into me. With goslings around me and my puppy on my lap it was almost easy to ignore the insects that swarmed to me nearly as quickly as the goslings had when they saw I had stopped moving and become an easy target. It was in this pleasant moment when the forest was quiet except for the peepings of the baby birds that I no-ticed that it was altogether too quiet. Then I heard it: A heart stopping sound when you are in the wild, something BIG moving through the brush. It sounded huge. Whatever it was, it was moving without any thought of being careful or quiet. It was com-pletely unafraid and it was headed right for me and my little family. Cont..on page 7

My first thought was that it was a bear or a moose. It was just so loud! I tucked my puppy under one arm and the goslings, roused from their nap headed off in all directions again looking for more tasty weeds. My heart was pounding in my ears and my adrenaline was surging, how could I round up all ten of them be-fore whatever was running at us made an appearance? Rule one when being in the bush: Don't ever be too quiet. Chances are that wild animals will try to avoid you. If you accidentally surprise them, as I was about to sur-prise the beast I would come to call 'Checkers'- they will act like a wild animal and do whatever they think is necessary to protect themselves. Hey, I called out. Whatever you are, I'm not sure you noticed, but there's a bunch of us over here, you might want to take another path! I was saying whatever came to mind, just talking so that the beast would hear us and hopefully run away. The 'bunch of us' was a bunch of baby goslings and a puppy. I looked around for my shears, they were big metal things I could use in a pinch. What on earth sort of animal was I dealing with? I tried to remember the vari-ous rules for if it was a moose or a bear. Should I play dead? Run? Not run? What were the rules and how could I get my awkward slow moving goslings to safety? The beast in the bushes paused, I could hear him listening. I piled a couple of goslings on top of my puppy who was squirming. All the baby animals were completely unaware of the possible danger. Checkers was upwind of me and I got a whiff of something nasty, it was a carnivore that was for sure, and it had a musky stink to it that made me tremble with the amount of adrenaline pumping through my veins. Hey, Drew, I called one of the goslings who was fighting with one of his sisters. Do you hear that racket, maybe we should go inside? I couldn't even see the snips. The loud noise of Checkers approaching came closer, he was more cautious than he had to be, that was good. He knew we were here. However this was about to go down we had at least removed the aspect of surprise from the equation. I finally spotted the aluminum snips, they were about twen-ty feet away in the opposite direction from our safe retreat and the barn. I abandoned the idea of grabbing them, they were too far away and instead, I shooed the goslings towards the house. I kept up a dialogue, the goslings chatting back to me happily in their language of peeps and squeaks that would one day become for-midable honks. Assuming I could keep them all alive long enough for them to get their pin feathers! I was worried at that moment that we were all about to become some predator's lunch.

Oct.

Had a lovely lady for lunch and gave her a tour of the farm today. Ann Letz bought a house in Endako and has been working her fin-gers to the bones refinishing it, looking lovely Ann! Welcome to the area. Ann is looking forward to joining in the fun held at the Endako Hall. ==== Well today was kind of a tough day so I tried to keep really busy. Guess it worked because it turned out to be quite a wonderful day! (It would have been our 59th wedding anniversary.) Started off looking after cattle, chickens, donkey's etc, then I went to Rita's for coffee but she wasn't home so I came back home, put the lawn mower in the shop & cleaned that messy place up a bit. Then Rita came here for coffee! Had a great visit, then my friends Rose & Wendy took me out to lunch at the Endako Pub...getting new own-ers there soon...the food was EXCELLENT! Then Rose & I headed for Burns Lake where I bought myself a pair of slacks & a couple of sweaters as well as a couple of Christmas presents.....Getting back home, two cows are greeting me at the gate with a real sob story because they can't find their calves! Silly ol' fools....after much discussion I persuaded them to turn around and go back the way they'd come and...WOW they found their babies! ...Getting a bit colder so now the cows will really be letting me know that it is time to be fed hay even though there is still lots of feed in the fields. Spoiled brats! Sure hope their new owners treat them as well as they have always been treated around here! They all sell, except the bull calves on November 21st at the Vanderhoof Auction Mar-ket at one p.m. That will be a VERY SAD DAY! I am truly thankful that Walter is not here to see them sell. Oh well, life is what we make it, soooooo SMILE....it keeps old age away!! ==== Nov. Today is Nov. 1st, I woke up to snow NOT a happy camper...but hey...can't do anything about it! SOOOOO...I thought I'd go on a diet...LOL....had plain yogurt for breakfast, salad for lunch & by supper time I was so hungry I nearly ate myself out of house & home! LOL The trials & tribulations of living alone & not cooking for anyone else...I really MUST do better! ==== To fear is one thing. To let fear grab you by the tail & swing you around is quite another. Gotta be strong! ==== Had B.S. Auto Service put new studded tires on my pick-up, guess I'll be all set for winter now. Went to P.G. the other day, roads were, as usual kind of yucky east of Vanderhoof, and were nice & dry coming home -that was very welcome. Had running boards installed on my pick-up...makes it MUCH easier to get in & out! ==== Guess I should report that I did extremely well on the sale of my female cattle and herd sires. I was very pleased but it was a really hard day for the whole family. Darn hard to see thirty years of work heading to another ranch. I still have the 2015 bull crop and as of today, Dec.9 they are all looking wonderful! With the snow coming fast & furious it is sure hard to keep them in dry bed-ding. Oh well, it will get colder one day shortly I am sure! ==== November 27, 2015 we welcomed a new addition to our families. Little "PAISLEY GRACE" made her appearance weighing in at seven pounds seven ounces. Mother Ashlee Malloy & Dad Lane Turnbull are the proud parents...and so they should be! Little Paisley is beautiful and a real keeper! She brings the Great Grandchildren to five, WOW am I a lucky Gramma or what! Congratulations to all and may life be a wonderful adventure for all of you. ==== Have been doing a bunch of Christmas baking, got pretty well all the gifts wrapped and a family that needs a bit of help this year should be happy with a few boxes of gifts & food that I have ready. I guess Christmas will come and go if I am ready or not so not to get in a panic! ==== The Endako community was saddened to hear of the passing of Bill Hogstead's Mother, Kaye. May you rest in peace. ==== You know, sometimes you just have to "bite the bullet".....BEFORE you lose all your teeth!!! LOL Have a good day all. Wishing each and everyone of you a very MERRY CHRISTMAS and all the best for 2016!
