AUTUMN MacDONALDObserver Reporter

Conservation officers are warning residents to secure wildlife attractants after an increase in bear complaints.

From April of this year until July 11 there’s been 229 bear complaints, al-most all of them due to unsecured attractants.

“Nine-nine percent of the issue has to do with attractant management,” conservation officer Ryane

McIntyre said.“Every neighbourhood

has complaints with bears (multiple) being more and more habituated. Yester-day we finally euthanized a bear that was becoming so habituated to people it started breaking into houses.

“We are advising the public to secure their at-tractants or completely remove them from their property to reduce the chances of luring a bear to their property.

“Residents taking re-

sponsibility of their at-tractants is vital as they are the ones having to deal with encounters at various times of the day – it’s for their safety and security of preventing an encounter when entering and exiting from their residence.

“Even when we have a trap set, many times the neighbourhood attrac-tants are too abundant that the bear has no inter-est in the trap.”

McIntyre said once a bear has been at a residents and has been rewarded, it will

remember the location and the probability of re-turning to the food source is highly likely.

Other reasons for the abundance of bears include high water lev-els, free vegetation, hot weather and low berry crops.

Leaving unsecured at-tractants on any land where people are likely to be; that could attract dan-gerous wildlife is a $345 charge under the Wildlife Act, McIntyre said, add-ing, the offense doesn’t

even have to have a bear being a nuisance in the area, it’s addressing simply the action of unsecured at-tractants.

A Dangerous Wildlife Protection Order will be issued, ordering the resi-dent to secure their attrac-tants, failure to comply results in $575 fine.

CO Service recommends people carry bear spray and bear bells when trav-elling through trails.

“There is a lot of discus-sion that bells will attract a bear,” McIntyre said.

“That is not correct, bells are metal which is a non-natural sound in nature and it will give the wildlife a chance to leave the area as it makes them aware of your presence, this is a preferred response than a surprise encounter.

“The bear spray is a method of defense if the wildlife does not back down, it can be used on cougars as well.”

If you have a conflict with problem wildlife call RAPP 24hrs/7 days a week 1-877-952-7277.

Bear season means residents need to be responsible for removing attractants

Forest fire crews arrived from Ontario to help Sunday, as lightning strikes and possibly human activity added to the fire map across a hot, dry B.C. Interior on the weekend.

A new fire at Soda Creek north of Williams Lake was reported in its early stages, al-lowing crews with 10 air tank-ers, three helicopters and heavy equipment to be deployed Sun-day while it covered only 12 hectares.

The fire is close to Highway 97 and the cause was still un-der investigation Monday. To report a fire or smoke sighting, call 1-800-663-5555 or *5555 on a mobile phone.

A new lightning-caused fire at Chelaslie Arm in a remote northwest region south of Smithers was at 5,000 hectares and threatening one building by Sunday, with 10 firefighters and two helicopters deployed.

The Chelaslie fire was caus-ing visible smoke in Smithers, Telkwa, Houston, Burns Lake, Fraser Lake and Vanderhoof.

Efforts continued for a sec-ond week to contain the Red Deer Creek fire that has caused the evacuation of three oil and gas camps near Tumbler Ridge. It has 160 firefighters, 12 helicopters and 31 pieces of heavy equipment building fire breaks, with plans to set con-trolled burns to contain it as conditions permit.

Another fire only six kilo-metres east of Mackenzie was burning uphill in steep terrain and spreading east, with more help on the way as it reached 80 hectares in size.

In the northeast, a fire 50 kilometres west of Williston

Lake reached 4,000 hectares by Sunday and was expected to grow significantly Monday.

Like many remote fires, the B.C. Wildfire Management Branch reported that this fire was receiving “modified re-sponse” to protect infrastruc-ture and timber values, with many parts being monitored but not actively fought.

Fire banEffective at noon Pacific Time

on Wednesday, July 16, camp-fires are prohibited in the Cari-boo Fire Centre west of the Fraser River to help prevent human-caused wildfires and protect public safety.

This campfire prohibition does not apply to cooking stoves that use gas, propane or briquettes, but does apply to campfires, open fires in an outdoor stove, tiki torches and any portable campfire appara-tus that is not CSA/ULC ap-proved.

Also effective at noon Pacific Time on July 16, open burning will be prohibited throughout the entire Cariboo Fire Centre. Anyone conducting Category 2 or Category 3 fires must ex-tinguish any such fires by noon on July 16.

The use of burning barrels, sky lanterns, fireworks will also be prohibited.

Specifically, prohibited activi-ties include:

East of the Fraser River:• Category 2 open fires• Category 3 open fires• fireworks, including fire-

crackers• sky lanterns• burning barrels

West of the Fraser River:• campfires• Category 2 Open Fires• Category 3 Open Fires• fireworks, including fire-

crackers• sky lanterns• burning barrels, chimineas

(wood-burning patio heaters), tiki-type torches

• outdoor stoves and porta-ble campfire apparatuses that are not CSA or ULC approved or if the flame exceeds a height of 15 centimetres

These prohibitions will re-main in place until Sept. 30 or until the public is informed otherwise. These prohibitions cover all B.C. Parks, Crown lands and private lands, but do not apply within the boundar-ies of a local government that has forest fire prevention by-laws and is Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations Cariboo Fire Cen-tre Connect with the Province of B.C. at: www.gov.bc.ca/con-nect Sandra Wagner Fire Infor-mation Officer Wildfire Man-agement Branch Cariboo Fire Centre 250-989-2665.

Anyone found in contraven-tion of an open fire prohibition may be issued a ticket for $345 or, if convicted in court, may be fined up to $100,000 and sentenced to one year in jail. If the contravention causes or contributes to a wildfire, the person responsible may be subject to a penalty of up to $10,000 and be ordered to pay all firefighting and associated costs.

Report a wildfire or unat-tended campfire by calling 1-800-663-5555 toll-free or *5555 on a cellphone.

Northern Health recently announced their new Chief Medical Health Officer, Dr. Sandra Allison. Dr. Allison comes from Manitoba where she spent the last two years as a medical health officer based in Brandon. Her career also includes practice as a fam-ily physician in Brandon, Churchill and Winnipeg. Further information about Northern Health can be found online at northern-health.ca.

Medical programs The CCRHD received

correspondence from Mr. Gerry Thiessen, President, of the University of North-ern BC’s Northern Medical Programs Trust. The letter outlined the Trust’s ap-preciation for the support and financial contribution received from the CCRHD to the Northern Medi-cal Programs Trust. Since the first disbursement of $20,000 in 2006-07, nearly 400 students have benefitted from more $600,000 in financial sup-port over the years. More information about the Northern Medical Trust

Program is available online at unbc.ca/northern-medi-cal-programs-trust.

Orange Shirt DayThe Cariboo Regional

District authorized up to $1,500 of Administration funds to support the 2014 Orange Shirt Day events taking place on September 30. The purpose of the program is to continue the reconciliation process and raise awareness about the residential school experi-ence.

This year’s ceremonies will be held, starting at 10 a.m. in Boitanio Park in Williams Lake, and at 1 p.m. in the Arena Ball fields in 100 Mile House. More information is available on Facebook at facebook.com/orangeshirt-dayeverychildmatters

Funds approvedThe Cariboo Regional

District Board of Direc-tors authorized up to $40,000 of Community Works Funding to install REALice technology at the Cariboo Memorial Recre-ation Complex. REALice would allow the Complex to use cold water on the arenas’ ice surfaces, rather than hot water. Using hot water on ice surfaces has been the preferred method in arenas as heating water removes air bubbles; however, REALice technol-ogy is able to remove the bubbles.

Therefore, the water is not required to be heated, resulting in energy savings. REALice technology also improves the quality of ice surfaces.

The Regional District also approved Commu-nity Works Funds for the Watch Lake and District Women’s Institute. Up to $9,600 of Community Works Funding will be used by the Institute to install an energy efficient furnace at the Watch Lake Community Hall.

Later in the meeting, the Board also endorsed an application for up to

$18,500 of Community Works Funding from the Forest Grove and Dis-trict Recreation Society. The funds will be used to perform an energy efficient lighting upgrade at the Forest Grove Community Hall.

Funds authorizedThe Regional District

authorized up to $600, shared equally from Electoral Areas G, H & L Director, Initiative Funds for the South Cariboo Fall Fair. The funds will be used to sponsor Don Basserman as a guest speaker at this year’s event. Mr. Basserman is a well-known speaker about urban farming and the sus-tainability of food supply.

Annual reportDuring the meeting, the

Cariboo Regional District unveiled its 2013 Annual Report. The document fea-tures departmental over-views, 2013 accomplish-ments, and goals outlined for the upcoming year. The report is available on the new CRD website at cariboord.ca while hard

copies will be available for viewing at all CRD offices soon.

ReconciliationThe CRD will be provid-

ing a letter of support to Reconciliation Canada in support of the 100 BC Reconciliation Dialogue Workshops. Reconciliation Canada requires letters of support from the local communities where events are planned in conjunc-tion with Orange Shirt Day on September 30. In partnership with the BC Association of Aboriginal Friendship Centres and the Union of BC Mu-nicipalities, Reconciliation Canada has been called on to deliver 100 Reconcilia-tion Dialogue Workshops in communities through-out BC.

These Reconciliation Dia-logue Workshops bring lo-cal leaders and community change-makers together to develop a shared under-standing of our collective history, examine what rec-onciliation means and take positive steps to building vibrant and resilient com-munities.

Report highlights CNC students’ contributionsCNC students and

alumni contributed $201.7 million to the regional economy in 2012/13, according to a report commissioned by BC Colleges.

The report by Economic Modeling Specialists International (EMSI) states the CNC region received approximately $57.9 mil lion in added income in 2012/13 due to the operations of CNC and the spending of out-of-region students, while former students generated another $143.8 million in added income through their higher earnings and the increased productivity of their employers.

The report shows that CNC graduates from diploma programs in 2012/13 will earn about $1.3 million during their

working lifetime, which is about $442,000 more than their friends who only have a high school diploma.

“The report really demonstrates that it pays to be a CNC graduate,” said Randall Heidt, CNC Executive Director External Relations.

“Aside from the obvious measurable financial impact, I think it’s important to note that a more educated, knowledgeable, critical thinking and skilled society is better for everyone.”

According to the report, CNC’s 2012/13 students will receive a cumulative $3.30 in higher future earnings for every $1 they invested in their education, on average.

In other words, students not only

recover the cost of their original invest-ment but also receive an additional $2.30 for every $1 they paid.

“The report states that by the end of the students’ working careers, the provincial gov ernment will have collected a present value of $87.2 million in added taxes,” Heidt said.

“It shows that college graduates are more employable, so the demand for income assistance is reduced.”

According to the report, approximately 1,666 CNC students relocated to the CNC region to attend the College in 2012/13, including about 300 international students.

The study states expenditures of these students for room and board, transportation and other personal goods

and services added approximately $5.9 million in income to the region during the analysis year. Other BC Colleges report highlights include:

• For every $1 of public money invested in CNC, taxpayers receive a cumulative value of $2.20 over the course of the students’ working lives.

• In 2012/13, CNC

employed 424 full-time equivalent (FTE) employees, with an annual payroll of $40.8 million. Much of this was spent in the College region to purchase groceries, clothing and other household goods and services.

• The College spent another $22.5 million on goods and services to support its operations in 2012/13.

• The net impact of college payroll and expenses in the college region was $52 million in added regional income.

• Provincial taxpayers invested $41.8 million in CNC in 2012/13 and for every dollar invested, society as a whole in B.C. receives a cumulative value of $14 in benefits, equal to the $586.7 million in benefits divided by the $41.8 million in

costs. These benefits will occur for as long as CNC’s 2012/13 students remain employed in the provincial workforce.

• CNC’s 2012-13 students will receive an average rate of return of 18.9 per cent on their investment in the college.

This rate of return continues throughout

their working lives. Had students and their families taken the money they spent on educa tion and invested it instead in a standard bank savings account, they would have received a rate of return of less than one per cent.

BC Colleges is a consortium of B.C.’s 11 public, post-secondary colleges.

“The report states that by the end of the students’ working careers, the provincial

gov ernment will have collected a present value of $87.2 million in

added taxes.”Randall Heidt, CNC

CAPSULE COMMENTSSafeway

with Lee-Anne Williams B.Sc. (Pharm)As we get older, our bodies break down alcohol more slowly. If you combine this with the fact that body water content also goes down, then a set amount of alcohol affects an older person much more than a younger one. Seniors must be very careful of the amount of alcohol they consume because it does interact with many drugs and can make some health conditions like diabetes worse.When you go for your annual physical, be sure to ask for one of those occult blood test kits. These kits will test for blood in the stools and is part of the screening for colon cancer, the second most common cause of cancer deaths in Canada.Many people take drugs that reduce the amount of stomach acid. Many people also take calcium supplements. Calcium is better absorbed in an acidic environment. Calcium carbonate is one of these. However, if your stomach acid is reduced, try calcium citrate for better absorption. By the way, this same consideration should be given to those who take vitamin B12 orally. This vitamin also needs stomach acid to absorb well. If you do take stomach acid-suppressing drugs, you may be better off with B12 injections.There is a lot of science that does into your medications. Knowing when to take the drug, the drug interactions, the side effects and desired outcomes….that’s our job to pass that information on to you. Use our pharmacy. Use our knowledge.

BC Hydro and For-tisBC are expand-ing their low-income energy conservation programs to reduce the impact of rising electricity costs.

One program offers free energy saving kits, including com-pact fluorescent light bulbs, weatherstrip-ping, thermometers to optimize operation of the fridge and freezer and a high-efficiency shower head.

The other offers free home energy evalu-ations to see if they home qualifies for an energy-efficient refrig-erator or extra insula-tion.

Energy Minister Bill Bennett said the government changed regulations to increase the low-income cutoff to qualify for the pro-grams.

A family of four earning up to $57,200 can now qualify, up from $44,000, a change Bennett said will almost double the number of households who are eligible. The threshold for a two-person household is $47,100.

Customers of the two utilities have to apply and provide proof of income to take advantage of the programs.

Bennett said last No-vember he would seek ways to provide extra help for lower-income customers when he unveiled a new BC

Hydro rate plan. That plan will see electric-ity rates rise by 28 per cent over the next five years, with further in-creases to be deter-mined at that time.

BC Hydro has other energy-saving incen-tives that are not in-come-tested, including

a rebate program for installation of insula-tion, draftproofing, heat pumps and water heaters. Those require homeowners to pay for assessment to see if they qualify for re-bates.

Bennett said BC Hydro spends $160

million a year on its whole range of energy efficiency programs, including those for commercial and in-dustrial customers.

The utility has set an “aggressive” goal to meet 78 per cent of its demand growth through energy con-

servation, reducing the need to build new generating capacity, he said.

Fast is the new slow, declared one Toronto newspaper’s

front page when the B.C. government announced it is increasing speed limits around the province.

The headline picked up on Transportation Minister Todd Stone’s justification for raising limits on 35 stretches of rural B.C. highway. Stone referred to traffic studies that show portions of the highway system where the vast majority of drivers already travel at the new speeds.

Stone emphasized that accident risk is not so much a function of speed, but of differences in speed between vehicles.

That’s why the signs going up this summer will include a new warning for left lane hogs: “Keep Right – Let Others Pass.”

For the first time, there is a 120 km/h limit on three segments of rural divided highway, parts of the Coquihalla, the Okanagan Connector and a stretch between Parksville and Campbell River on Vancouver Island.

Having regularly driven up and down the B.C. Interior highway system for the past 30 years, I can confirm that particularly once

you get “beyond Hope,” drivers do set the speed limit. In good conditions, it’s generally about 10 km over the posted maximum, particularly in the long spaces between communities where resources to do regular speed enforcement simply don’t exist.

Improvements in the road system, and the modern vehicles that drive it, have been enormous.

My last trip was in June, up the Fraser Canyon and on through the Cariboo to Prince George.

The canyon offers some of the harshest road-building conditions in Canada, but even portions of that cliff-hanging, rock-and-tunnel road are getting increases from 90 to 100 km/h.

There are two common assumptions about this move. One is that increasing the speed limit means people will automatically

drive faster. The other is that higher speeds mean more accidents, or at least more severe accidents.

The government downplayed opposition to this change, which Stone signalled last fall when he launched the public consultation.

Police agencies don’t like it. ICBC officials are skeptical to say the least. ICBC’s latest rate increase was attributed mostly to cost pressure from higher injury payouts, and it will be tracking the sections of higher speed limit to see if the number of severe accidents goes up.

Speed wasn’t singled out when interim ICBC boss Mark Blucher made the case for an increase of nearly five per cent on basic insurance last fall.

One reason why claims for bodily injury, pain and suffering, future care and loss of earnings are going up is that more people are hiring lawyers.

Another reason is distraction, not just from mobile devices but also more pedestrians and cyclists in urban areas.

Are drivers getting worse? A recent report out of Saskatchewan suggests they are.

In 2013, only 48 per cent of new drivers in Saskatchewan passed their road test.

The test hasn’t changed much in the past decade, and there are more immigrants who aren’t accustomed to highway driving, North America style.

But a veteran driving instructor calls today’s new drivers “the weakest generation I’ve ever taught,” after they spent their formative passenger years watching TV or playing with game machines and other screens while on the road.

“The awareness level isn’t where it was when I started 15 years ago,” Margot Podiluk told the Saskatoon Star-Phoenix.

“Today’s generation, they’re so connected to electronic devices they don’t look out of car windows.”

If raising speed limits is a mistake, accident statistics will soon tell the tale. My expectation is that on rural highways, speed limits are just catching up to the traffic.

Out of the shadows

For too long we have swept the problems of mental illness under the carpet... and hoped that they would go away.

–Richard Codey

Few can argue that mental illness touches everyone.There are, of course, those

with the diagnosis. Then there are their children, siblings, parents, friends and co-workers.Even complete strangers are often

hit with the ripples, as society is forced to bear the burden of missed work days, medical visits, inadequate treatment options, etc.It doesn’t matter that research

has led to many strategies and treatments that, when adhered to, can help sufferers live productive, even normal, lives.Perhaps if it felt easier to talk

openly about mental illness, things would be different. For those directly affected, it can

feel simpler to try to ignore the reality – to keep the door closed and the windows shuttered, so to speak. Not the healthiest approach, really, but common nonetheless.And while time has led to strides

in the realm of mental illness, it has done less for society’s acceptance of it as a disease. Many worthwhile stories do not

get told in these pages because of the stigma attached to mental illness; the fear people have of being branded by going public with their struggle.Mental illness are still two words

that, despite so-called progress, few afflicted with the likes of depression or schizophrenia or paranoia dare to mutter outside – sometimes even inside – their immediate family.Many of these individuals

are parents, siblings, friends or colleagues of those living with a mental illness. A few are those individuals themselves, who have taken that brave step into the spotlight.No one should feel the need to

hide something they cannot control. The reality is, many of us share the blame for the fact so many people do.

Re: Resolve the Labour Dispute in BC Schools

We are expressing our dismay and deep concern with the current state of the labour dispute in the B.C. public education system. Contract negotiations between the BC Teachers’ Federation (BCTF) and the BC Public School Employers’ Association (BCPSEA) are

at a point where the well-being of students, staff and the education system itself are negatively affected.

The school year has ended with the education labour dispute unresolved and an utter sense of disappointment in the contract negotiations system. This type of drawn out, unresolved dispute is a dis-service to public education staff, B.C. families and especially the taxpayer.

For BCTF and BCPSEA

to continue negotiations in the absence of a mediator does not seem effective or successful. We strongly urge the BCTF and BCPSEA to begin open, unfettered mediation and get on with the task expected of them – achieving contract resolution as soon as possible.

Flexibility and full acknowledgement of the support needed in B.C. classrooms is expected of both negotiating parties.

Out of respect for the

B.C. public education system, the BCTF and BCPSEA need to ensure the following actions are completed as soon as possible.

• Immediately return to effective negotiations with mediator and negotiate continuously until resolution is reached;

• Acknowledge a meaningful wage increase for teachers, fully funded by government;

• Create and negotiate a new compromise on class size and composition; one

which is not bound by dated formulas, but rather a real commitment to classroom support.

We fully believe that the labour dispute urgently needs a mediated resolution, certainly well before the efforts of anew school year need to begin.

Obituary TributeObituary TributeRod was born in Quesnel, BC on Feb 13th 1955, to Walter and Val Dyck. Rod was blessed with a sister, Janet.

From a very early age and throughout his life Rod loved and excelled at sports, including hockey, baseball, golf and curling. He felt at home in the outdoors which led to much time spent camping, fishing, snowmobiling with family and friends.

As a young man Rod left Quesnel to play junior hockey with the Vancouver Villas. His junior career continued with the Kamloops Chiefs, Penticton Broncos, Vernon Vikings, and the Medicine Hat Tigers. He then played for the Quesnel Kangaroos until leaving for South Africa in the summer of 1976 to play hockey there. While in South Africa, Rod was recruited to Morges, Switzerland, where he played for two seasons from 1976 -1978. It was in Switzerland that Rod met Patricia who shared his life for the next few years and remained his life-long friend. Rod returned to Europe in 1979 to play with EV Ravensburg Germany, performing as a player/coach in the latter years, until he returned to Canada for good in 1984.

In 1990 Rod moved to Vancouver Island where he eventually called his beloved Bam� eld home. Here he started a construction company and a building supply store. Rod was a skilled and talented carpenter, often generously sharing his wealth of knowledge. One does not have to look very far in Bam� eld to see Rod’s hand.

Here Rod met his partner, Kelley Bartlett and in 1996 they welcomed their daughter Erin into their lives’. The last 20 years of Rod’s life revolved around life with Kelley and Erin in Bam� eld. Here he found purpose and joy in raising his daughter, and peace and tranquility in the beauty of the ocean and the rainforest. In later years he also found serenity on the golf course.

Rod lived his life with humour, honesty and integrity. He was a practical, insightful man who was quietly e� ective in so many ways. He was

strong and courageous, almost seeming invincible at times – a role model to all who knew him well. Rod was predeceased by his parents Walter and Valerie Dyck and is survived by his partner Kelley, daughter Erin, sister Janet (Jules), nephews Waylon (Brooke) and Kayle as well as great nieces Jersey and Presley.

A celebration of life will be held for Rod at his residence in Coombs on July 20, 2014, at 1:30pm. Please see Rod Dyck’s Memorial facebook page for a map to the location or call (250) 937-1550 or (250) 586-4541 for directions.

A bursary has been set up in Rod’s name to go towards underprivileged youth in Quesnel to play hockey. Donations can be made out to the Rod Dyck Memorial Hockey Bursary Fund and sent to 480 Pachena Rd. Bam� eld, BC V0R 1B0 or to Bank of Montreal, Parksville.

Vince and Eleanor lived and worked in many places including Michigan, Texas, and Arizona. In 1970 they settled in Wells, British Columbia to pursue his dream of mining for gold. Vince became a park ranger in Barkerville and El-eanor was the Postmaster and Justice of the Peace in Wells. After their retirement, they settled in Conrad, Montana in 1997 and enjoyed travelling and exploring the state. After Vince died in 2009 Eleanor stayed in their home for three years until she moved into the Beehive in Conrad where she lived for the last two years. Eleanor’s family would like to thank the Beehive sta� and residents for making her part of the family there.

The family wishes to say a special thank you to cousin Gene Kidder and Tina Corbin, wonderful friend and neighbor Mary Fussell and the many great friends from Wells, B.C. who kept in touch these past 17 years.

And an extra special thank you is extended to the outstanding

nurses and sta� at the Pondera Medical Center who not only took such tender loving care of Eleanor in the � nal two weeks, but also made her family feel comfortable and cared for as well.

At Eleanor’s request there will be no funeral or service. She said, “I prefer my friends and family to remember me well, happy and alive.” Her remains will be placed alongside of Vince’s in Laurel Hill Cemetary in Erie, Pennsylvania. Eleanor loved butter� ies so please remember her the next time you see one.

Arrangements are entrusted to Pondera Funeral Home in Conrad, Montana and

condolences may be sent to www.misermorturaries.com.

This is the second of a two-part series on Asia, the cadaver dog.

Since the cadaver training, Asia and Willow

have been invited to nearly 10 search sites. They assisted with the McCann search in northern Alta. Though the area was far too large, they gave three days of effort. This dog, though � t and always ready to run, � nished day one exhausted. Imagine taking in every piece of information around you and trying to sort through it all for a sliver of pertinent information. That is what Asia was doing for hours on end. She did

locate one site that turned out to be a methane source. This was a positive alert because a body does exude methane but this source turned out to be natural. If needed, Asia could have searched a river from a boat with the driver steering in the direction of the dog’s

nose. During this time, a colleague sent out requests for stories about inspirational rescue dogs. That � t Asia’s story perfectly. Willow submitted her story and was soon contacted by Caesar Milan’s crew to appear on their tour. She and Asia went to Penticton, Prince George and Dawson Creek. On each show, Asia’s story was told and then she performed either a search or an obedience demonstration. She

was famous.In the fall of 2013, Asia started to show a weakness in her back end. Progressing rapidly, a spinal cord disease called degenerative myelopathy causes Asia to falter on uneven ground. Her back legs give out. The cause of this disease is unknown but it seems to be common in German shepherds. Since the nerves for muscle, bowel and bladder are concentrated at the base of the tail, those functions will

fade � rst. Asia still has a strong mind and a desire to run so her front end has strengthened to compensate but her time is limited. Looking back, Willow laughed at memories like the � rst time Asia visited the vet without a muzzle or the � rst time she let a puppy snuggle. Once, when attacked by a goose, Asia tried to avoid it

but had no success. She � nally grabbed the goose by the neck and � ung it away. Willow thought it might be goose for dinner that night but no. The goose was shocked but undamaged. What an amazing transition.These days she stays at home and guards the chickens. She’ll go on short walks, play with her ball and

go for car rides. She hangs out with her buddy Trevor and her nose is still very acute so treats are never hidden for long. But, at 10, she is now in retirement.Asia went from rags to riches and from pain to fame.

Liz-Anne Eyford is a volunteer with Crooked Leg Ranch and a regular Observer contributor.

Funded in part by the Keis Fund, the Friends of the Quesnel Museum receive $2300 to develop a conservation/restoration plan for the artifacts along the Riverfront Trail. The City of Quesnel has 7 industrial artifacts on display outdoors along its Riverfront Trail which are of regional historical signi� cance. They were restored and erected by a variety of citizen groups, beginning in the 1930s, and are now at risk.

A conservator who specializes in industrial objects will visit Quesnel to assess the artifacts on the Riverfront Trail and prepare a conservation and maintenance plan to preserve them. He will provide training and advice to the sta� that are responsible for their maintenance. While in the area, he will also visit Barkerville and provide similar services to the site. This is a preliminary step in a larger project to conserve the artifacts on the Riverfront Trail. The objective is to preserve these signi� cant historic objects for the enjoyment and edi� cation of future generations and Friends of the Quesenl Museum are building on the work of various organizations and citizens groups who originally refurbished these industrial objects and placed them in public spaces around the City of Quesnel.

The Friends of the Quesnel & District Museum & Archives was incorporated in 2004 as a not for pro� t society to initiate and support research and fundraising projects that bene� t the Quesnel and District Museum and Archives, to raise awareness of heritage issues, promote public access to history and archival information and to provide a meeting ground for people interested in participating in heritage projects and events in Quesnel and the Cariboo region of British Columbia.

We had a successful Canada Day at Shiraoi House, from 10:30 a.m. – 4 p.m. with many visitors.

Calligraphy demonstrated by Junko Lacey and Ryoko Hosaka and along with members of Shiraoi Twinning Society we had some of the young people helping out with origami and Japanese toys.

These young people will be some of our next delegation going to Japan in July 2015 to Shiraoi, Hokkaido, Japan.

Lots of young people tried on Kimonos and several pho-tos taken. Also in the afternoon a lot of sushi was served.

We want to thank Ami Su for making the trays of sushi. It was so delicious, “Oyshi”

10th Anniversary celebrationThe celebration of Shiraoi House 10th anniversary is

Aug. 23. There will be members assisting in several activi-ties offered throughout the day, including trying on Japanese Yukata (kimono) and if you like, get your photo taken while dressed in kimono. Try your skill at calligraphy and draw your name in Japanese. Learn about Japanese culture, try some Japanese games, make origami kimonos or other shapes.

Also at Shiraoi House there will be an official ceremony recognizing our 10th an-niversary with a celebratory cake-cutting served after the ceremony with City Hall officials. Time of ceremony to be announced in next article and any other additions.

Refreshment of green tea, juice and water will be offered throughout the day.

Also during the celebration, Aug. 23, Elizabeth Waldorf city arts coordinator is offering how to make small wind socks and fans on the Shiraoi House patio, 10 a.m. – 3 p.m. Enter from side walk on the West side of the building.

Last meeting notesQSTS, June 5 was our last dinner meeting for the sum-

mer. We had a smaller group at our dinner meeting in June, as vacation has started for some of our members. Our deli-cious meal was provided by Tomoko Arisue and Sue and Harry Smith. We continually have new members joining our Twinning Society as we did at our last dinner meeting in June and new members are always welcome.

Our next dinner meeting at Quesnel Shiraoi House will be in September. The dinner meeting has been changed to second Thursday of the month on Sept. 11.

If anyone is interested in joining or learning more about our Twinning Society, call Shiraoi House 250-992-6532 and leave us a message.

We also rent out the Shiraoi House for different events. Check our site, Quesnel- Shiraoi Twinning Society.

It’s time to bowlWednesday, July 9, Prince George Lawn Bowling Club challenged Quesnel bowlers for the Marg Foulston Me-morial Trophy. A total of 26 bowlers participated, 13 from each club. While enjoying a coffee and a muffin for breakfast, a Hot Shot contest was held, where Les McEachew of Quesnel scored a total of five points out of a possible eight points, and received $11 for his effort. In the Trophy challenge event, after two games, Claude from Quesnel led Gus from Prince George by 25 to 24, then a potluck lunch was enjoyed by all. In the final game, Yvonne from Quesnel overtook Claude, but Gus Kosjak from Prince George ended up the winner. Final scores were Gus 33, Yvonne 32, Claude 31; thus retaining the trophy for Prince George, a great day of bowling enjoyed by all. The next event will be in Prince George August 13. Quesnel Lawn Bowling would like to thank the Observer for their excellent coverage of our event, and The Quesnel Community Founda-tion for the grant for upgrading our sprinkler systems, especially Roy Josephy from Richbar Nursery for his patience in the final adjustments on sprinkler heads, a small amount of remedial work remains to be done.

The final stretchDay seven

Woke up to a cloudy morning

in Whistler, only to be excited for the final leg of our tour for BC Children’s Hospital.

With more than 600km cycled, many were stories shared, many lessons were learned, many emotional moments were had and many new friends were met.

We thank you all for your support, financially and spiritually.

We were blessed to have a very strong rider lead us from Whistler to Vancouver Eric Kjode.

Eric paced us and let us work around him to keep us safe and protected from the rain and wind.

Eric provided us with a great pace, the first 30km we did in 55 minutes in the rain.

We were super excited to be visited by Bal Risma a former Quesnel resident living in Squamish with his family who bought us coffee to warm up and gave us such positive energy. His guidance was much appreciated and hi conversation uplifting.

Eventually Eric got a flat, after the repair Rob got one before Horseshoe Bay.

Eric took us through Marine Drive via Horseshoe Bay. Hardly any traffic and very scenic.

Last day, now only 3km to go until Children’s Hospital.

We are already being asked what we are doing next year.

The finish lineWell here were are prepping for

the final leg of our journey to BC Children’s Hospital Pediatrics/Neurology and the completion feeling has not sunk in.

We feel that this is just the beginning. We feel that what we have done or just started is something that will grow.

I look at the past visionaries of my generation and two come to mind.

Those two heroes are Terry Fox and Rick Hanson. I saw Rick Hansen pass through Quesnel when I was 10-years-old. I believe those two heroes played a role in shaping my brain to be a role model and be the best person I could be.

At 9 a.m. as Balj was setting up our gear and equipment and my dad was getting ready, Jaden curled up with me in bed and fell asleep.

I held her and watched her sleep, thinking back to when she was a baby.

Then remembered the seizures and visits to BC Children’s Hospital and was thinking that

this journey began because of the super warm service she received at BC Children’s Hospital.

I was thinking that this journey began because we believe that what we are doing may allow a child or many children to have one

more day to hug someone, maybe our fundraiser will allow one child to go home.

I was thinking, wow we did it. I have so many thoughts in my mind but I’m speechless.

Jaden was in a peaceful sleep. I’m sure we’ve all had our parents just watch us sleep when we were kids.

A child is the most precious item we have no matter our age. Wanting to protect them at all costs but not knowing when a seizure can happen is scary.

We were soaking it all in going over Oak Bridge watching everybody moving fast, jockeying their cars.

Life was moving too fast for these people. For Rob and I this was just the beginning of a long term plan to serve and help others. It’s as if time stood still and we moved in slow motion.

Arriving at BC Children’s the first person we met was a former student of mine from Quesnel._ Nick McLean, walked from downtown to see us. Thank you Nick for visiting and staying to tour the hospital.

We rolled in to a standing ovation. After conversing and radio interview.

It was time for the cheque,$30,937.38

Rob still couldn’t believe what had happened.

My dad had said that he would match whatever amount came in, $15,849.79.

Dad is a big man with a big heart.

We didn’t always have much and with those days of not having much we learned a lot. Tough lessons but we survived.

A lot of our success is based on the work John Ernst gave my dad and thus we remained in Quesnel.

Quesnel has been very good to the Sull family and it’s important to give back.

Quesnel Cycling is Rob Gardner and Armajit (Archie) Sull. They are riding to Whistler this summer to raise funds for the B.C. Children’s hospital.

Twine Available Here!I t ’s Haying Season

July 13 - July 19, 2014ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20Be honest with yourself, Aries. Sometimes change can be a good thing, so take a few days to sort through all of your options. You will be glad you did.

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21Taurus, you may have to be clever to solve a par-ticular problem this week. It will be challenging, but you are up to the task and your efforts will be their own reward.

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21Gemini, spend some time thinking about what you want rather than what others want for you. You may discover significant differences between the two, but do what makes you happy.

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22Cancer, it may take some time to get back on your feet after a stumble, but you will get there much faster if you ask a few friends for support. You know the people who have your back.

LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23Leo, very little can disappoint you or affect your mood. Enjoy the responsibility-free week with a free spirit. This is a great time for a vacation.

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22Think through all of your options before you act, Virgo. While something may seem like a good idea at first, careful thought may reveal some bumps in the road.

LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23Work hard to earn a promotion at work, Libra. While you may need to take on more responsibil-ity and work longer hours, the payoff will be well worth it.

SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22Scorpio, if you feel you are at a crossroads, take your time to make the best possible decision. This is a significant moment for you, and it requires focus and forethought.

SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21Sagittarius, supporting a family member who deserves it has you riding high this week. This support may be emotional in nature or even finan-cial support if you can manage.

CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20Capricorn, family activities are getting in the way of business prospects, and vice versa. You may need to make a difficult decision in the near future.

AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18Aquarius, think through the pros and cons of speaking your mind at work. Your opinions are valid, but you run the risk of alienating certain people, and that should not be taken lightly.

PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20Approach a problem that’s been puzzling you from a different perspective, Pisces. This new way of looking at things makes all the difference.

Observer Reporter

A season of hard work and practice has been paying off for the Wildfires and the players have definitely been keeping busy.

The Wildfire’s intermediate team geared up and faced off against Prince George at the Twin Arenas July 6.

They started the day off strong, playing and winning their first game against the visiting team.

Prince George quickly took the lead in the first period, netting three goals to take the lead.

The second period started with a score of 3-2 in favour of the visiting team.

The Wildfire needed another two goals but it seemed that the opposing team was one step ahead.

Scoring another three goals to end the second period with a two point lead.

It was in the third period that the Wildfires dominated netting five goals in a finally attempt to win the match.

It was tough game but Quesnel players persevered and sent the visiting team walking in defeat with a final score of 10-9 in favour of the Wildfire.

After a short break the game was on again, with the Prince George players facing the Wildfire again.

Quesnel took the lead and held the advantage in the first two periods but P.G. returned in the third period determined to return home with a win.

Netting goals and keeping the Wildfire at bay for a final score of 8-5 in favour of the visiting team.

The excitement is not over for these Quesnel athletes.

On July 13, the Wildfire bantam lacrosse team was met

with success when travelling to Victoria for the provincials, winning gold.

The intermediate team won the best of three series in the Cariboo Central interior intermediate league and will be advancing to the intermediate B Provincials in Richmond

The Wildfire will also be sending a team to the Nanaimo to compete in the Summer Games.
