Monday, November 5, 2012Daily

Maclean’s Magazine released the results of its annual ranking Thursday and UNBC tied its highest ranking ever, placing second among 19 small, “primarily undergraduate” Canadian universities.

Mt. Allison, more than 150 years older than UNBC, placed first. This is the eighth straight year UNBC has been ranked the best univer-sity in its category west of Atlantic Canada.

“We have terrific faculty, fantastic stu-dents, great relationships with communi-ties throughout the North, and a wonderful

environment for teaching and research. It’s no wonder UNBC continues to perform well in Maclean’s,” said UNBC President George Iwama in a press release. “All those associ-ated with UNBC should take pride in their university.”

In its selection of UNBC, Maclean’s cited UNBC’s favorable student-teacher ratio and research funding.

“The University of Northern British Colum-bia’s second-place finish is an even bigger story. UNBC, an 18-year-old school, debuted

at ninth place 14 years ago. This year it has the highest total research dollars, and the second best student-faculty ratio, impressive for such a young school.”

Maclean’s considers 13 indicators of the quality of students, faculty, libraries and finances to assess 49 universities.

Each is placed in one of three categories—Medical/Doctoral, Comprehensive, or Pri-marily Undergraduate—to recognize differ-ences in size, programming, and research activity.

The Spirit of the North Healthcare Founda-tion held its 21st annual general meeting on Oct 30.

Re-elected to the Board was Darren Masse (BMO Nesbitt Burns), Shane Lapierre (Prince George Fire Fighters), Trevor Lutes (Scotia-bank) and Tom Sentes (Wood Wheaton).

Newly elected to a two-year term were Don Gowan (Finning Canada), Albert Koehler (city councillor), Colleen Sparrow (Prince George Citizen) and David Yarmish (David J. Yarmish & Associates).

Continuing on the Board as the regional representative is Paul Stewart (Gulbranson Logging, Vanderhoof) and Rhonda Loose (Auxiliary to UHNBC). These new Directors join Judy Jackson, Colin Kinsley, Diane Rog-

ers and Trevor Slaney on the Board. Also con-tinuing on the board is Finlay Sinclair, Direc-tor of Business Development representing Northern Health. Dr. Michelle Sutter after a decade of service to the board representing the medical community completed her term. Dr. Linda Wilson will be joining the Board.

Ron Epp, managing partner of KPMG pre-sented the audited financial statements for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2012. Last year, the Foundation had gross revenues of $2,487,527 and issued grants totaling $1,912,401 to UHNBC and numerous other Northern Health facilities throughout north-ern B.C.

President Darren Masse introduced Jessica Aldred as the new Chief Executive Officer

who recently moved to the North after 13 years working in fundraising for a number of organizations.

Masse, in his president’s address spoke to the fact that the foundation remains commit-ted to its responsibility as “good stewards of the funds you, our donors have given to us… We need you to know that, we appreciate the trust you have placed in us to make sure your donation to health care is being used most efficiently and for the best impact on health care in the North.

“As we improve the quality of our external partnerships, we must strive to understand what is needed in the north and how we can create maximum impact on health care through philanthropy.”

Spirit of the North elects board

For the fourth year in a row, Northern Health is looking for community part-ners who have great ideas for a health promotion project that will help improve the health and well-being of those living, working, learning and playing in north-ern B.C. We want to encourage people to visit the IMAGINE grants website for more information and to apply for grants.

This year, Northern Health is shifting the alignment of the grants to showcase their community health philosophy that health happens in the community and prevention is everyone’s responsibility. We have developed position statements focusing on key modifiable risk factors to support grassroots to government solu-tions to improving health and wellness by supporting action and partnerships at

the community level. You can learn more about this work our Position Statements Addressing Risk Factors website.

IMAGINE grants will provide approxi-mately $365,000 in total this year to com-munity groups and organizations who are successful in illustrating their vision of a health promotion project. Inter-ested groups are encouraged to apply for grants in several categories.

It was a different Pat Bell on Friday.After almost being giddy when discussing

monthly job numbers the past few months, Friday’s news that the province lost 10,900 jobs in October Bell was a little more som-ber.

B.C.’s labour force decreased by 18,600 people in October and now stands at 2,484,800. Compared with 14 months ago, B.C.’s labour force has increased by 31,100 people.

B.C.’s unemployment rate of 6.7 per cent is down from September’s rate of 7.0 per cent and is 0.1 of a percentage point higher than October 2011’s rate of 6.6 per cent. B.C. has Canada’s fourth-lowest unemployment rate. Alberta (4.5 per cent), Saskatchewan (4.7 per cent) and Manitoba (5.6 per cent) have lower unemployment rates.

The unemployment rate for youth (15 to 24 years of age) was recorded at 13.4 per cent, down by 0.6 percentage points from Sep-

tember. In October 2011, the youth unem-ployment rate was recorded at 12.7 per cent. Last month strong gains were recorded in finance, insurance, real estate and leasing (+10,300 jobs), other services (+8,000 jobs), information, culture and recreation (+5,000 jobs) and construction (+3,200 jobs).

Even with the loss of 10,900 jobs in Octo-ber, the province remains on track to meet its BC Jobs Plan targets, said the always optimistic Bell.

I can’t really call the drivers I saw last week Blacktop Blockheads, because most of them were driving on snow.

How about Whiteout Weirdos?Works for me.• I would have hoped that having a lot of

snow and ice on the road would have made some driver think a bit more about the way they were driving, and strive to do so in a safer manner. Wrong again.

The number of total idiots on the road didn’t decrease, although I would say the number of people driving intelligently (i.e. with respect for the changed conditions) did increase. It’s not that difficult a concept, people. Snow equals slippery which should indicate the need for driving slower and tak-ing more care.

Not for the one person I saw the Mon-day of the snowstorm, who came swinging around a corner and slid across into the second lane, bumping the curb while going sideways, which helped to straighten the

vehicle out to the point where the driver could put the pedal to the metal and zoom off through the snow.

• Of course, some drivers like the snow because it does make the roads more slip-pery, and gives them a “reason” to go charg-ing through yellow or even red lights.

“Well, officer, I couldn’t stop safely even though I saw the light change. Well, yes, I was going about 75 on a municipal street, but that was the main reason I figured I wouldn’t be able to stop in time.”

Somehow I don’t think telling the officer you were speeding and that’s

why you couldn’t stop is going to stop them from giving you a ticket.

• The next person I have seen recently is one who I do feel a little sorry for, but a lot of times they bring the problem on them-selves. This is the person who has come up to a stop sign, and sees a slight break in the traffic, so they start to make their turn . . . and get their tires spinning in the snow as

they do so, which usually results in oncom-ing traffic having to slow down (or stop) while our friend finally makes their turn.

If there is snow or ice on the corner, even I know that’s going to slow you down a bit when you’re trying to turn, so make sure you have a lot more room than you needed a month ago to make that turn.

Of course, it would also help if the more of the roads were plowed within a couple of days of the snow. As of Sunday, four days after the main storm stopped, 18th Avenue still hadn’t been plowed. ANd don’t get me started on how 15th Avenue eastbound between Foothills and Nicholson is mostly one lane because of the snow piled in the inside lane by the plows.

• All that said, last week may have been the wildest week of weather I’ve seen in some time in Prince George.

We went from about three days of steady snow to -20 to rain within the course of about seven days.

Weird.

VICTORIA – Wearing a kilt representing the clan of a Scottish ancestor, Lieutenant Governor Steven Point ended his five-year term Thursday with a unique ceremony at the B.C. legislature.

In the ornate rotunda now decorated by his hand-carved dugout canoe, B.C.’s first aboriginal Queen’s representative joined a choir and band to perform an original song he dedicated to the people of B.C.

Premier Christy Clark presented Point and his wife Gwendolyn with gifts, and Point was visibly moved when presented with a hand-crafted guitar made in Kamloops. Clark praised the couple for their work during the past five years, including a partnership with Rotary Clubs on literacy in remote B.C. com-munities.

Clark recounted Point’s career, starting as a chief of his own First Nation, moved on to Grand Chief of the Sto:lo Tribal Coun-cil, earning two law degrees, becoming a provincial court judge, and serving as chief commissioner of the B.C. Treaty Commission before accepting Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s invitation to serve as Lieutenant Governor.

“He set out to be a role model for First Nations people, to inspire young people, and he has reached that goal,” Clark said.

Point praised Clark and said the country needs more women leaders, and also showed his penchant for humour.

“Well, it’s all over,” Point said. “I feel like Dorothy at the end of the Wizard of Oz. I’m going to go home now.”

Chilcotin rancher Judith Guichon is to be sworn in Friday as B.C.’s 29th Lieutenant Governor.

Four for Fall

NOV 10 : BEASTS Of THE SOUTHERN WIlDDir: Benh Zeitlin USA� 91 mins.WITH: Quvenzhane� Wallis, Dwight Henry�

This stunning debut from first-time film- maker Benh Zeitlin alludes toa number of artistic masterpieces, paying homage to great works ofliterature, painting, and cinema. At home in The Bathtub, a marshlandcut off from the Louisiana coast, an unapologetically uncivilized bandof humans live alongside the animals that sustain them, blissfully dis-connected from their resource-burning neighbours to the north.Among them, six-year-old Hushpuppy already fends well for herself,sharing a trailer with her father, Wink, who hasn't been the samesince Hushpuppy's mother left them years earlier. Beasts of theSouthern Wild is equal parts mythological, anthropological, folkloric,and apocalyptic. An emotionally wrenching and heartfelt portrayal ofthe bond between a father and his daughter, it is not to be missed.

NOV 17 : mOOnRiSE KinGDOmDIR: Wes Anderson USA, 94 minsWITH: Bill murray, Edward norton, francesmcDormand, Tilda Swinton and Bruce Willis

This is the eagerly-anticipated new film from director Wes Anderson,and features his unique brand of quirky humour, an iconic soundtrackand distinctive visual style. On the fictional New England island ofNew Penzance in 1965, lovestruck twelve-year-olds Sam and Suzyhave decided to run away together. Both are isolated children andtheir romance is ridiculous yet touching — a pre-teen fantasy ofgrown-up love. Their escape triggers a humourously hapless searchparty; the dramatic absurdity of the situation is heightened by the vio-lent storm on course for New Penzance. Youʼll find yourself nostalgicfor this magical, largely fictional time. Moonrise Kingdom is sure to bea joyful experience for Anderson fans, and a treat for the uninitiated.

dec 1: BOy Dir: Taika Waititi nEW

ZEAlAnD, 87 mins maori with subtitleswith: James Rolleston, Te Aho Aho Eke�tone-Whitu and Taika Waititi

Itʼs 1984. Michael Jacksonʼs Thriller rules the airwaves and 11-year-old Boy dreams of the day when his absentee father will return towhisk him and his younger brother, Rocky, away from their home inNew Zealandʼs Bay of Plenty to see his one-gloved idol in concert.One-time comedian Waititiʼs refreshing direction and funny script im-bues the story with magic, from its hand-drawn flip-book animationsand Michael Jackson dance fantasies, to its bleeding sunsets,sweeping coastline vistas, and unforgettably colourful characters. AsBoy, Rolleston — initially an extra who replaced the original actor atthe last minute — turns in a remarkably unaffected, seemingly effort-less performance.

NOV 24 : the queen of versaillesDIR: Lauren Greenfield USA, 100 minsdocumentary. WITH: David and Jackie SiegelThis real-life riches-to-rags story follows billionaire David Siegel andhis wife Jackie as they embark on the construction of their dreamhome: a sprawling, 90,0000-square-foot mansion inspired by thepalace of Versailles, designed to be the largest private residence inthe USA. But when the economic crisis hits and the real-estate bub-ble bursts, progress grinds to a halt and seals the Siegels' fate.Chronicling the decline in the Siegels' fortunes over the course of twoyears, Greenfield's riveting documentary explores both the virtuesand tragic flaws of the American Dream. "A gaudy guilty pleasure thatis also a piece of trenchant social criticism; a sprawling, richly detailedstudy of ambition, desire and the wild swings of fortune that are includedin the price of the capitalist ticket.” –A.O. Scott New York Times.

Saturday night in Kelowna, the Prince George Cougars dropped a 5-0 score to the Kelowna Rockets. Colton Hef-fley recorded three assists for the Rockets while Jackson Whistle turned aside 21 shots for the shutout.

Kelowna took an early 1-0 lead at 2:17 of the first period when Tyrell Goulbourne tucked home a Riley Stadel rebound for his second of the season. Kelowna kept apply-ing early pressure, but Cougars goaltender Mac Engel had an answer for 10 of the 11 shots he faced in the first period.

Early in the second, the Cougars came on strong. Marc McNulty did his best to spark the team with a fight against Kelowna’s Mitchell Wheaton. McNulty earned the take-down, and gave the Cougars some momentum. Prince George fired nine shots towards Jackson Whistle in the second, with the best chance coming off the stick of captain Brock Hirsche.

Late in the second, Kelowna extended their lead to 2-0 on a Ryan Olsen power play goal. Myles Bell raced down the left wing, and centered a puck to the waiting Olsen who capitalized from the slot. Cody Fowlie would add a late goal with 45 seconds left in the period to make it 3-0 Kelowna after two.

Towards the end of the second, the Cougars were given a five-on-three power play opportunity that lasted 1:18, but the Rockets were able to kill it off.

With 6:01 gone in the third period, Tyson Baillie extended Kelowna’s lead to 4-0 with a goal off a two-on-one. Rourke Chartier then followed with the fifth Rockets’ goal just 1:44 later to wrap up the game’s scoring.

Mac Engel was pulled from the Cougars goal after Chart-ier’s marker, and Brett Zarowny finished the game for the Cougars, turning aside all eight shots he faced. Mac Engel stopped 22 of the 27 shots he faced, many of which were quality scoring chances.

The final shots on goal had Kelowna in front by a 35-21 margin. The Cougars finished zero-for-four on the power play while Kelowna went one-for-three.

The loss halts the Cougars three-game point streak, and moves their record to 7-8-1-1. The victory for Kelowna helps them improve to 10-6-1-1.

Prince George now returns home to face the defending champion Edmonton Oil Kings on Friday and Saturday at CN Centre.
