After consulting with British Columbians for ways to reduce red tape, Cariboo North MLA Coralee Oakes is applauding the process.

“I have been so impressed with the thoughtful and practical ideas people submitted,” Minister of Small Business and Red Tape Reduction and Responsible for the Liquor Distribution Branch, Oakes said.

The six-week consultation on reducing red tape for British Columbians is now complete. Thanks to the thoughtful participation from people throughout the province, the B.C. government has received more than 280 ideas from citizens on how to improve service delivery.

From Oct. 22 to Dec. 3, 2015 more than 5,900 people visited the website for an average of six and a half minutes. Out of that conversation, the province received ideas to make government service delivery easier to access and simpler to use.

Several themes emerged from the consultation, including streamlining processes, improving paper and online forms and re-thinking online, phone and front counter services to meet the needs of all British Columbians, like people with disabilities and seniors.

People submitted many comments about improving health-care services, making the processes around death easier, modernizing naming conventions for government identification and making it easier for people to contact the provincial government.

While comments are now closed, the website will remain active so British Columbians can

continue to read the conversation. The province will report out on the ideas and actions this spring.

“I know how hard it is to take time out of your busy day to share your experiences and I’m just so thankful to everyone who

participated. I’m excited to work with my colleagues to turn your ideas into action over the coming months,” Oakes said.

“We all have to take ownership of making our province better,” Hugh Nielsen, hunting instructor in Campbell River added.

“I thought it was excellent that the B.C. government gave us an opportunity to have input, instead of a bureaucrat making the decision. My idea around timelines for hunting licenses comes from my experience as a CORE hunting instructor and seeing the difficulties my students and hunting buddies face getting the proper permits. It was easy to submit my idea, and it’s great to know the province is listening.”

Quick facts: • The consultation was open for

six weeks, from Oct. 22-Dec. 3, 2015.

• The website was visited 5,973 times during the six weeks. The average site visit was 6:28 minutes.

• The total 284 ideas includes 192 submitted as comments on the blog and 63 submitted by email.

• The hashtag #helpcutredtape was shared 514 times throughout the consultation.

• In October the Province created Red Tape Reduction Day to celebrate its annual regulatory reform efforts. The first one will be on March 2, 2016.

Obituary Tribute

We regret to announce the sudden passing of our daughter, sister, aunt and friend, Lisa Cunningham, on November 18, 2015. Lisa was born in New Westminster, BC on November 8, 1964. Throughout her life, she lived in many places including the Cayman Islands, and most recently had called Prince George home. Lisa was beautiful inside and out and she will always be remembered for her wicked sense of humour, gorgeous smile and her unconditional love of animals.Lisa is survived by her mother Arlene Cunningham, sister Theresa Cunningham, sister Wendy (Kevin) Holowenko and brother Wes (Kendra) Cunningham. She is also survived by her nephew Adam (Amanda) Johnson, niece Cloe Holowenko, nephew Chris Cunningham, niece Ashlyn

Schmautz, nephew Brody Cunningham and nephew Steve Holowenko as well as numerous loving relatives and friends. Lisa was predeceased by her father Ted, brothers Lance & Dave and nephew Brandon.There will be a celebration of life for Lisa in the spring. The family wishes to thank all of those who sent food, owers and their special thoughts during this di cult time and a special thank you to Amy Quick at Clayton’s Funeral Directors for her support and compassion.

“The best thing about having a sister is that you

always have a friend.” Goodbye my sister, my

friend.

We regret to announce

Lisa CunninghamNovember 8, 1964 ~ November 18, 2015

In his maiden speech in the House of Commons Todd Doherty, Member of Parliament for Cariboo-Prince George pointed out what he felt were “several glaring omissions” in the Liberal government Throne Speech. In particular, the failure of the government to mention even once, core industries like agriculture, forestry and mining.

“Our region has been the economic engine of British Columbia just as Western Canada has been the economic engine of our country,” Doherty said.

“The Speech from the Throne failed to mention any of the industries that are the core drivers of our national economy. Now, today, we sit without a Softwood Lumber Agreement, meaning more instability in an already uncertain industry.

“The Canada-U.S. Softwood Lumber Agreement that has safeguarded jobs and provided stability to producers on both sides of the border expired on October 12th, 2015. This wasn’t even mentioned in the Trade Minister’s mandate letter or in the Speech from the Throne. This government must, at

a minimum, immediately commit to negotiating an extension with our US counterparts on the Softwood Lumber Agreement.”

“These are the facts and this Liberal Government seems to have forgotten that the livelihood of rural Canadians is dependent on the very industries this government seems intent on ignoring. Canadians expecting ‘Real Change’ received a watered down, vague mirror of what was seen in the last Liberal term: big government, big debt, privilege, higher taxes, an ill-equipped military and, in the end, a nation that welcomes the return of a strong Conservative government.”

Doherty also took the opportunity during his speech Tuesday to highlight Communities For Veterans local heroes Paul and Terry Nichols, stating:

“It is an honour to rise today to talk about an amazing organization in my riding. “Communities for Veterans” has a mission to bring our communities together by connecting our Veterans with our communities.

“The face of our Veterans has changed and the

challenges they face on their return home are complex. We are only now just beginning to understand the real meaning of the term `Post Traumatic Stress Disorder`.

“Setting out on horseback last April, Paul and Terry Nichols made it their goal to change the face of Canada`s Veterans. Joined by over 250 Veterans and other Canadians, their mission was focused on those in our communities.

But, along the way, the journey also transformed Paul and Terry`s lives. They have seen, first hand, how “Equine Therapy” is helping our Veterans and others suffering from PTSD.

“Mr. Speaker, it is constituents like Paul and Terry that make me so proud to serve the riding of Cariboo-Prince George. Thank you for this time. And, to Paul and Terry, thank you for taking these bold steps forward.”

Council heard highlights of the Quesnel-Shiraoi Twinning Society’s summer Japanese cultural exchange. This exchange included 12 students from Grades 6 to 9, three chaperones and four adults that visited Tokyo and Shiraoi Japan from June 28 to July 10, 2015.

Shiraoi is the sister city to Quesnel. The delegation visited various sites in Tokyo and Shiraoi.

The delegation presented Mayor Simpson with a gift from Shiraoi elected officials and a flag signed by all members who participated in Quesnel/Shiraoi cultural exchange trip.

Council Year in ReviewMayor Simpson provided a

review of 2015 that included the following Council highlights:

Governance – Council completed a significant amount of work through the three Council Standing Committees: Executive Committee; Financial Sustainability and Audit Committee; and Policy and Bylaw Review Committee.

“These meetings are open to the public, enable Council to dig deeper into the city’s

budget, refresh and update its policies and bylaws and manage Council’s strategic engagement with pubic and potential partners,” Simpson said.

Budget – through significant operational savings in 2015, and continuing in 2016, “a cumulative result over these two budgets is an approximate 10 per cent reduction in overall operating costs (or an avoidance of almost 8.5 per cent increase in general taxation) which allowed Council to increase taxes in 2015 only for the city’s Capital Reinvestment Reserve; a major step toward addressing a long-standing annual infrastructure deficit.”

Strategic Plan – a number of strategic decisions were acted upon: “dissolution of the external Quesnel Community Economic Development Commission with the economic function now operating in-house; moving along with the process towards building the proposed new public works facility; a general framework for the city’s budget; the rationalization of council’s Legislative and Community Support budgets; and the city’s future involvement

in the West Quesnel Land Stability project.”

Partnerships – Council and the Cariboo Regional District Northern Directors “made a decision to incorporate the soccer facility and the School District 28 contract into sub-regional recreation. This partnership continues to proactively and collaboratively manage the Arena project.”

Initiatives – “repealed and updated significant number of bylaws, created new ones that help Council market the community as a progressive place to live and invest in. New Master Parks Plan is in progress; developed new regulations regarding panhandling in the City; through savings found elsewhere in the budget the City was able to assist Northern Health with temporary housing for two doctors during the summer months avoiding curtailments of the hospital’s Emergency department operating hours; all Council UBCM resolutions were adopted; West Fraser, Tolko and C&C Wood Products supported the City’s interface community forest initiative that will see

The B.C. government is putting up $100 million for a real-life version of the TV show Dragon’s Den, providing seed money to en-trepreneurs who convince experts their new techology ideas will grow.

Premier Christy Clark announced the new fund Tuesday at the Vancouver offices of Mo-bify, a marketing company for retailers to ad-vertise on mobile devices. The first step was to invite proposals for a venture capital company to administer the fund.

“We don’t want to be influencing that, except that we want them to be in British Columbia, and we want the fund manager to have a man-aging partner based in B.C.,” she said.

Clark said high technology is performing better than other parts of the economy, and now directly employs 86,000 people who make higher wages than the industrial average. The taxpayer investment is to give startups the recognition they need to attract private venture capital.

Clark said banks look to invest in “guar-anteed bets,” but technology companies are higher risk with higher rewards for those that succeed.

NDP technology critic George Heyman said the industry has been lobbying the province for this kind of assistance, and he supports it if the money is delivered in a transparent way and results are tracked.

A previous effort aimed at immigrant inves-tors, the B.C. Renaissance Capital Fund, was criticized for a lack of both. In one case it pro-vided money to a San Francisco company that opened an office in Calgary but not B.C.

“The taxpayer subsidizes all sorts of things that relate to job creation,” Heyman said. “In the case of the tech sector, these are the jobs of the 21st Century. B.C. has a sector that’s performing well but could perform a lot better, and it needs investment to do that.”

B.C. also offers $33 million in tax credits to “angel investors” who put up money to de-velop a business that has attracted seed money.

EconomicsThings are ticking along okay

here in B.C., at least as far as the economy goes.

Our unemployment rate is lower than the Canadian average by al-most a full percentage point. We aren’t doing so bad on home con-struction, and if there’s been any bad economic news, it hasn’t affected the price of housing.But Canada just weathered a brief

blip of a technical recession, and we aren’t doing as well as our neigh-bours down south when it comes to unemployment and growth.And now the head of the Bank of

Canada, which backstops much of our financial system, says he’s pre-pared to offer negative interest rates.That would mean institutions

parking their money with the Bank of Canada would be charged for doing so. The reverse would be the equivalent of being paid to hold a mortgage. (Don’t hold your breath waiting for your local bank to offer this one.)If Canada is in generally good

shape, but a bit battered, why is one of our top economic wizards consid-ering the use of increasingly power-ful economic stimulants?The first reason is Alberta. For

decades, one of Canada’s wealthiest provinces relied on oil and not much else to power its economy. Now oil is increasingly cheap – under $40 a barrel as of this week – and it’s uncertain when, or if, it will ever rebound to $100 again.The second reason is a general slug-

gishness in the economy. When the Canadian dollar drops, our goods are supposed to become more at-tractive to the U.S. in particular and the rest of the world in general. But resources are in a slump, and our manufacturing sector isn’t exactly picking up much of the slack.Currently, the extreme measures

contemplated by the Bank of Cana-da aren’t being pulled out.But the fact that officials are talking

about them, getting them ready, is a signal that they want to be sure we can avoid something bad that may be coming.

–BP

The war on terror. The war on poverty. The war on drugs.

The fight/struggle/war with cancer. On AIDS. On global warming.

War, fighting, and struggle are the dominant metaphors we use to talk about a host of issues in our society that have nothing to do with violence.

And I’m starting to wonder what that says about us, and about the way we approach those problems in the first place.

This first started to bother me when I saw a few people complaining about the way individuals dealing with cancer are referred to.

We talk about “a long fight” or “a lengthy struggle” with cancer.

While there is no doubt that there are things you can do to decrease your risk of getting cancer, and that there are some things you can do to try to aid your own recovery, you don’t really fight cancer.

We try to cure cancer with scientific means developed over the last century and a half, from the first

crude surgeries to modern therapies that are using exotic elements such as genetically modified polio viruses.

But it’s not a war. Science has little in common with battle, and the resilience and bravery necessary for a cancer patient is not the same kind as that needed when facing guns and shellfire.

Other war metaphors are even less apt.

A war on poverty? When we try to end poverty – child poverty, homelessness, seniors living in poverty, anything – we are not destroying. We are explicitly building. We are giving people food, education, housing, better social structures. It’s the exact

opposite of war, yet that metaphor is still thrown around frequently.

You can see something similar when people talk of the fight against global warming.

Again, there are no battlefields or generals in the war on climate change. There are debates, there are education campaigns, there is a great deal of diplomacy. There is struggle, but it’s a struggle to find new ways of doing things that will allow us to stop polluting the atmosphere without gutting our economy.

The most disturbing use of the term may be in the war on drugs.

The war on drugs is certainly a lot more literal than the other kinds of metaphorical fights. It does involve soldiers, and in many places, police with the same weapons and tactics as soldiers.

But if it can possibly be justified in some situations – a multi-millionaire drug dealer with a private army isn’t going to just quietly come along in handcuffs – it is grossly inappropriate in

other circumstances.Helping people overcome

addiction is not a battle. It’s a healing process. It’s a process of bringing people back into a community. It’s helping them free themselves from chemical slavery.

Calling it the war on drugs, framing it that way, makes too many people into enemies. When the enemy is cancer, that’s one thing – who doesn’t hate cancer? But when it’s people, whether dealers or addicts, it’s dangerously simplistic.

Frankly, I’d like to see some more metaphors for all of these problems. Words are how we frame the world. Our choice of words shows what we think is important. Words matter.

We can talk about war and fights and battles, or we can talk about building, healing, reaching for solutions.

No war on poverty, but building dignity. No war on cancer, but a cure for sickness. No war on drugs, but a hand to those in need.

Editor:Re: Inconvenient truths

of climate change (B.C. Views, Dec. 2)

As Tom Fletcher pointed out, there are many questions on climate change.

I’m not sure that B.C. or Canada is the problem, but the B.C. government is on the right track with the carbon tax, because it is apparent that Canadians need to lead on the environment, and be seen as leading. We need to be able to market our resources and lead in sustainability.

The B.C. carbon tax has pluses and minuses. Some of the carbon tax burden

is returned to lower income earners – this is a good thing.

The tax, however, does little to reduce CO2 emissions. If four of the $5 billion collected over the past six years had been invested in reforestation, carbon sinks, the B.C. government could proclaim to the rest of Canada and the world that we are making a real difference.

I think B.C. and Canada are doing a good job on environmental issue, but we need to seen to be doing more. A B.C. carbon tax that brings in $5 billion to provide

$5.7 billion in tax cuts does not appear to me to be making the necessary changes in addressing the global environmental concerns.

The perception is that we are doing nothing. This need to change.

Phil HarrisonComox

Merchants of sludge?Editor:Tom Fletcher’s latest

column, a litany of classic skepticism about what’s going on

in the atmosphere, is like a museum display of petroleum industry attitudes.

He evidently has no shame in carrying the torch for continuing with status quo policies around energy sources and emissions. No surprise, because his boss and others are betting there’s still hope for selling sludge to Asia.

I notice in reading the letters from various outposts of Black Press, there are few readers buying this argument. That is encouraging for people who have their ears and eyes open to the realities

of the climate situation.Bill Wells

Kaslo

Where is the

warming?Editor:It has been 18 years

without statistically relevant temperature increases in our atmosphere, according to satellite data used by the International Panel on Climate Change. The level of CO2 has gone up in those 18 years, yet the

atmospheric temperature has not.

Is there a real connection between CO2 level and atmospheric temperature? Maybe not much.

The climate scientists won’t say they got it wrong.

Time for the truth, before Canada and other countries have our economies knocked out from under us. Please climate scientists, level with us, and let your colleagues who have “lost the climate change faith” speak.

After all, no one likes muzzled scientists.

I have the good fortune to know some Turks who love to travel and share their culture. Each trip has afforded new sights and delightful cultural differences. Snippets from Turkey are just a few of my observations from this amazing historical world that tries to blend modernity with tradition.

In Kusadasi, this melon stand was a permanent fixture because the truck was defunct and the trailer had flat tires. It took up one lane of a busy street and it was near a roundabout. The polis ignored this entrepreneur.

Turkish drive through – These gentlemen have stopped at a simit seller for their morning dose. This seller chose a busy street corner and was rewarded with foot, scooter and car customers.

Carpets are a way of Turkish life and these gentlemen are demonstrating the unravelling of silk from cocoons before dying and weaving it into their carpets.

Turkish road building – Many side roads are paved with interlocking blocks. When on a job, it is just easier to go around obstacles so we saw long parked cars and trees being tiled around.

Stork nests – These pillars are remnants of the water system that was built more than 2,000 years ago. The aqueduct brought fresh mountain water to the port city of Ephesus and much of it remains today. Storks have claimed pillar tops for their young.

Construction – Everywhere I have been, there are empty buildings galore and many more new ones going up. This was an apartment building about four stories high so this team used a motor powered pulley system to hoist the wheelbarrow and its load to where it was needed.

This is a tuvalet – and there are still many squat toilets in this country. I was surprised to find one at the Izmir airport but have since found them in many public washrooms. Exercise your knees.

Patterns and artwork – Even the propane canisters have been decorated.

Sirince – This is a Greek village in the hills of Turkey. It is mainly a tourist site now but there are a number of permanent residents who grow olives, apples and vegetables in this lush valley. The houses are distinctly Greek in design.

A Turkish Picnic – Turks do picnics well! Because many of them live in apartment complexes, residents flood to the parks for recreation and leisure time.

There are hundreds of covered picnic kiosks in the parks. I realized why most are covered when I witnessed hundreds enjoying picnics in the rain. The structure on the stand is the barbecue. People bring their own wood, light up the barbecue and then use it to cook and for warmth if out on a blustery day.

Ingenuity – In the Cappadocia area, I saw a number of contraptions that hooked a wagon to a farm machine minus the tines or blades. I don’t know how legal these rigs are but they putter along nicely and haul all manner of things.

– submitted by Liz-Anne Eyford

Bits and bitesSnippets from the sights and sounds of Turkey

Outside of the eight verses we nd in Matthew’s Gospel, there is little we know of Joseph. We know that he

was a carpenter and that he was a descendant of King David. We know he was pledged to wed Mary. And we know he was a righteous man. Outside of that there is no other infor-mation. However, because he was a righteous man, he saw t to deal with Mary’s pregnancy by leaving her with a sense of dignity. Joseph apparently didn’t believe Mary’s story and it would have been well within his rights by Law to have her stoned for adultery, but he decided

to end things quietly.You see, Joseph was

going to do the right thing, but after a visit from an angel he nds out God’s thing. The angel informs him of God’s plan, to stay with Mary no matter what. This was com-pletely against every-thing Joseph had been taught. He obeys what

is told of him, understanding that God’s plan even supersedes the Law that was given.

There are many things that appear to be the right thing to do but are not really the best thing, the God thing. Jesus often came up against this as he faced the religious leaders, the washing of hands or eating on the Sabbath. The Old Testament Law, though it was always right, was not always best.

But how do we know the difference? First off, following the letter of the Law is never a bad place to start. If all else fails, follow what is written. That is where grace starts. However, the way we make God’s thing our thing is by our closeness with him, continually being in prayer and discovering what the Word says. We must dig deep to discover what the writers were saying, using it today. This is what God calls us to do, to walk with him, to stop and to listen to what he wants in this world, to set aside what we think we know and to truly listen for his voice in our chaotic world.

Susan MacNeill has a long history with travel.

“I’ve been booking travel arrangements for family and friends for 30 years,” she said.

“It was a logical step to be-come a travel agent once I re-tired.”

Now, as the Travel Best Bets, Quesnel travel agent, she of-fers those looking to travel ef cient, professional service and worry-free vacations.

Susan, as a Travel Best Bets consultant, can handle every aspect of your trip from lodg-ing, ground transportation, ac-tivities, tours and much more.

“Our job is to make sure you get where you need to go, at the best price and in the most pleasant way possible,” Susan said.

“And the best part is there’s no booking fees.”

She went on to say that should you encounter any problems during your trip, she can act on your behalf to see that proper resolutions are made.

“Booking through Travel Best Bets is more secure when you experience travel interrup-tions, we ensure you have pri-ority rather than dealing with airlines individually, where you are often just another wor-risome traveller,” Susan said.

Travel Best Bets was founded by travel expert, Claire New-ell in 1993. Today, Travel

Best Bets has grown into one of Canada’s largest indepen-dent travel companies. Based in B.C., Travel Best Bets’ con-nected agents offer exclusive travel products giving clients a competitive advantage.

Many travellers, especially families, are happy to leave the logistics of a vacation or busi-ness trip to an travel agent.

Susan is an expert in helping travellers get where they need to go and in helping to create possibilities most people never would have dreamed were possible.

“We work for you, not the travel supplier,” she said.

“Our only objective is to get you the best value and sat-isfy you completely. That way you’ll come back and see us again.”

Travel Best Bets’ website is lled with testimonials of sat-is ed clients. People who have trusted their most important trips to a connected Best Bets agent and found the whole ex-perience amazing.

With the agent doing all the legwork of nding the best price, planning a complex itinerary, nd that special promotion that perfect suits your plans along with details and advice on particular va-cation products. Susan added as a Travel Best Bet connected agent she can offer an array of options and price quotes from a variety of travel suppli-ers, giving you the upper hand when making your nal travel

decisions. They take the stress out of travel planning.

In addition, Susan has access to the most up to date infor-mation on airline regulations, hotels, car rentals, cruise ships, travel visas and other travel services to consider when planning your trip.

“I will personally take care of your requirements, offer-ing help and advice that can’t be accessed on a website,” she said.

Before you even leave home, Susan can help you prepare and organize any necessary documents that you may need in order to travel outside the country, steer you to the closest passport of ce and advise you on where visas are required, as well as any other documenta-tion you may need.

Travel Best Bets connected agents are considered experts in the area you are traveling to and have possibly been to your chosen destination.

“I’m full trained to answer all your travel questions and meet your travel requests,” Su-san said.

“My father was a pilot and I’ve traveled the world. Now, as a Best Bets connect consul-tant, I’ve expanded my travel experience and am ready and willing to help you have the best trip ever.”

QUESNEL/SHIROAI TWINNING SOCIETY

Quesnel and Shiroai join the Twin Cities InternationalThe Twin Cities Internation-

al mandate governs the twin-ning “to encourage and foster the advancement of Interna-tional Understanding, good-will through the interchange of visits and communications between academic students and representatives of our so-cial political communities, to assist and promote industrial, commerce and trade for world peace.”

Associated twinning work done under the cities umbrel-la, such as:

1. Rotary and Lions work within their expertise of

humanitarian service; culture student exchange.

2. Chamber of Commerce assist in Commercial and In-dustry, as well as tourism.

3. School Boards and schools foster education and culture understanding through ex-changes, as well as sports.

The groups work together as a tightly knit family, for the betterment of the city. There are thousands of volunteers donating tens of thousands of hours and money. Commerce and Industry keep the wheels turning through international trade. Whether you are per-

sonally involved or not, you are still impacted by the cities twinning.

The other two affiliated groups of the twinning are ; National association of Japa-nese Canadians, formed 1947, focus on human equal rights; Japan Studies Association gives assistance to students traveling abroad.

The scope of the twinning is very broad and complex, it becomes difficult to separate the “Who and where the Why begins” as they become the same.

Application No. PA 5804

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION NOTICE Application for a amendment to Permit 5804 Under the Provisions of the Environmental Management ActWest Fraser Mills Ltd., doing business as Quesnel River Pulp Company, intend to submit this amendment application to the Director to amend Air Permit 5804, issued May 27, 1981, and last amended January 27, 2015 which authorizes the discharges to the air from a thermo-mechanical/bleached chemi-thermo-mechanical pulp (TMP/BCTMP) mill.The land upon which the facility is situated and the discharge occurs is Plan 26442, Lot 1 District Lot 5012, except Plan 27974 and R/W 27072 subject to stat R/W PGP 39252, located at 1000 Finning Road Quesnel, BC V2J 6A1, within the Cariboo Regional District. Quesnel River Pulp plans to install a new a natural gas fired turbine combined heat and power (CHP) generator. The generator will be used to produce power and the exhaust will be used directly as the primary source of heat in the first and second stages of the pulp dryers on Line 1 and Line 2 in the cyclone system. The project will greatly reduce the amount of natural gas required in the direct fired air heaters that normally provide this heat input, while generating electricity for the mill process.The amendment requests that the following conditions be changed:

Amend permit Section 1.1 authorizing the continuous discharge of air contaminants from cyclones. The number of cyclones continuously discharging will be increased from SIX to EIGHT with the uncapping of Line 1 Second Stage Cooling Cyclone and Line 2 Second Stage Cooling Cyclone. Maximum flow rates for the mill site will increase from 376 m3/s to 430 m3/s. Amend permit Section 1.1.2 to include a natural gas fired turbine CHP generator as part of the related appurtenances of the cyclones. The exhaust from the generator will be used directly as the primary source of heat in the first and second stages of the pulp dryers on Line 1 and Line 2 in the cyclone system. The nature of emissions change total site discharges from:

a. Total particulate matter of 460 T/yr to 466 T/yr; b. Carbon monoxide (CO) of 199 T/yr to 115 T/yr; c. Nitrogen oxides (NOx) of 195 T/yr to 202 T/yr; d. Volatile organic compounds (VOC) of 2.6 T/yr to 4.7 T/yr.

Any person who may be adversely affected by the proposed amendment and wishes to provide relevant information may, within 45 days after the last date of posting, publishing, service or display, send written comments to the applicant, with a copy to the Environmental Protection Northern Authorizations TeamPrince George Office, [email protected]. The identity of any respondents and the contents of anything submitted in relation to this application will become part of the public record.

Steelheads halt Kangaroos winning streak

RYAN GRAHAMObserver Reporter

The Quesnel Kangaroos had their winning streak snapped this past weekend when they were defeated 9-4 by the Smithers Steel-heads. The game started with both teams checking hard, not surrendering any chances until Smithers broke through scoring the first of the game, courtesy of Adam DeVries who became open in front of the net and did not miss.

Quesnel would answer back shortly with Tommy Grant drawing the Kanga-roos even, coming down the right wing and firing a shot high on the blocker side, beating the Steelheads goaltender.

Smithers would finish up the period adding two more to go ahead 3-1 heading

to the locker room. Quesnel began the second period striking first with a goal by Mike Kalusny, who found open ice in front of the goalie and scored on the backhand.

The Steelheads would reply, increas-ing their lead and eventually putting the game out of reach, as Quesnel had no answer.

The Kangaroos managed to get two back in the third, with Alessio Tomas-setti and Waylon L’ Heureux finding the back of the net. Their next games will be on the road this weekend when they play in back-to-back games against the Terrace River Kings and Smithers.

The Kangaroos will also be hosting an Alumni game Dec. 19 at 7 p.m. with tickets costing $5.

RYAN GRAHAMObserver Reporter

The Quesnel Curling club had a good turnout for their push stick clinic this past weekend. The push tick aids curlers in throwing the curling rock. Manager and Ice Technician, Dave Plant said the reason for putting the clinic on was to get more people involved in curling.

“We were just thinking about how we could get more people in-volved, that may not be comfort-able in the hack,” Plant said.

He said the push stick is for people who have usually sustained an injury and want to continue curling, but anyone can use the aid. Plant says although you are not getting down in the hack there is still an adjustment that must be made.

“They were really happy that they didn’t have to get down in the hack, but they certainly real-ized how hard it was,” Plant said.

“Even though you’re using the delivery stick, it takes a lot of practice to become accurate with it. You have to work on every little bit, until it becomes routine.”

Plant says the speed is the hard-est aspect of using the push stick.

“There is no question that the finesse shots become a little bit tougher, based on your walking speed.”

This was the first time that a clinic like this has been put on, but he sees the club doing more events like this in the future.

“I think this was well received for the dozen people that showed up,” Plant said.

“The people that were here were really happy.”

Curling push stick clinic a success

A curler gets instructed on how to properly use the push stick at the clinic on Dec. 6 at the Quesnel Curling Centre.
