The Gold Pan City has been chosen as host to the Cariboo Chilcotin Coast Tourism Association (CCCTA) Summit and AGM, Oct. 16 – 18.

Each year, this event is held in a different com-munity within the associa-tion’s region. This year the Quesnel Community and Economic Development Corporation won the bid to host this event that will shine a spotlight on North Cariboo tourism, opera-tors and activities.

This will be a not-to-be-missed opportunity to cel-ebrate accomplishments,

take part in informative and valuable workshops, chat with industry reps and be a part of steering CCCTA discussions that will lead to prioritizing goals to shape tourism in the Cariboo.

A presentation from the Cariboo Chilcotin Coast Expedia Market Manager, Jaminah Hu will be one of the highlights of the summit. Hu will be pre-senting on current trends in the online marketplace and the opportunities this presents for our region.

Other workshops will help participants maxi-

mize their business reach using Google, find skilled workers, be successful in grant writing and learn the power of photographic narrative. There will also be awards for Best Tour-ism Marketing, Best Digi-tal Marketing and Outside the Box for innovative or products introduced into the tourism market.

“We are pleased to once again be able to offer our stakeholders an excellent event,” CCCTA CEO Amy Thacker said.

“This year’s theme is the power of potential and we will be sharing amazing

hands-on tools for busi-ness and communities to ensure growth and success in 2016 and beyond.”

The Summit is expecting upwards of 120 attend-ees who will be made up of tourism professionals and business operators. The event will be kicked off with an opening re-ception held at the Hallis Lake Lodge. A presenta-tion from Skyfest, trail rides provided by Triple J Ranch, live entertainment by Jenaya Barker and Bro-dy Lamarche and a bonfire are just some of the activi-ties planned that will spur

on networking. Attracting conferences

and other events to the Gold Pan is just one way to infuse money into the local economy. When at-tending a conference or sports tournament, people typically spend more than $150 per day on accom-modations, meals, fuel purchases or taxi and en-tertainment. Over a three-day event this can really add up and give a boost to local businesses.

There have been many local organizations that have shown their commu-nity support and helped to

bring this event together. Transportation to Hallis Lake from downtown Quesnel will be provid-ed by Big Canyon Raft-ing. Barkerville Brewing Co., Community Futures North Cariboo, Down-town Business Association and the South Quesnel Business Association also made generous contribu-tions towards the opening reception.

The opening reception and summit are open to the public and registration information can be found online at www.landwith-outlimits.com/agm.

NEWS

The B.C. government and the Union of British Columbia Municipalities are providing new grants totalling $500,000 to help communities identify and take action to reduce wildfire risks on private land.

Fifty grants of up to $10,000 each will be made available to local governments and First Nations through the Strategic Wildfire Prevention Initiative (SWPI).

The 2016 SWPI FireSmart Grant program will support communities to plan for wildfire prevention activities on private lands, as identified through the FireSmart Communities Program. FireSmart activities help decrease wildfire threats to homes and property and can prevent damage to structures, increase the effectiveness of firefighters and safeguard fire-suppression resources.

“Homeowners who live in interface areas can help protect their properties from wildfires by using FireSmart principles,” Minister of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations Steve Thomson said.

“This new grant program will help communities and First Nations raise awareness of this important work and become recognized as FireSmart Communities.”

Funding provided through the 2016 SWPI FireSmart

Grant program may be used to:

• Enhance public awareness of FireSmart principles.

• Increase community participation in FireSmart activities.

• Advance planning to address wildfire mitigation on private land.

• Help communities obtain official recognition as “FireSmart Communities”.

FireSmart recognition involves engaging neighbours, property owners, local government and First Nations authorities and other agencies to meet a set of recognition criteria to assist communities become more resilient to wildfire.

The Strategic Wildfire Prevention Initiative is administered by the Provincial Fuel Management Working Group, which includes the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations, the Union of British Columbia Municipalities and the First Nations’ Emergency Services Society. The FireSmart Communities program is administered by Partners in Protection Association (PiP).

Applications for the SWPI FireSmart Grant program are being accepted until Nov. 30. The Program & Application Guide and Application Form is available on the UBCM website: http://www.ubcm.ca/EN/main/funding/

lgps/current-lgps-programs/strategic-wildfire-prevention.html

For more information about the 2016 SWPI FireSmart Grant program, contact the Union of British Columbia Municipalities at [email protected] (mailto:[email protected]) or 250 356-2947.

“I am glad to see another funding option to support local governments and First Nations as they engage with residents regarding FireSmart principles and practices,” Sav Dhaliwal, president, Union of B.C. Municipalities said.

“This new offering is the result of a longstanding working relationship between the Province of B.C. and UBCM in the area of wildfire preparedness and mitigation.”

“One B.C. municipality has been recognized with a Community Protection Achievement Award, while another community and multiple communities in eight different First Nations have been recognized as FireSmart Communities for their work in reducing wildfire threats,” Kelly Johnston, executive director of the Partners in Protection Association said.

“I’m looking forward to adding more communities to that list as a result of this new grant program.”

Quick facts:

• Since 2004, over $68 million has been directed through the Strategic Wildfire Prevention Initiative to help local governments and First Nations significantly reduce wildfire risks around their communities.

• As of Sept. 1, 2015, 286 Community Wildfire Protection Plans have been completed by local governments and First Nations and another 44 are in progress. Completed fuel treatments and risk reduction efforts covered 78,245 hectares in and around communities that face a significant wildfire risk.

• Logan Lake has been awarded a Community Protection Achievement Certificate (for local governments).

• The Anarchist Mountain Community (near Osoyoos) has

been recognized as a FireSmart Community, along with multiple communities in the following First Nations: T’it’q’et First Nation, Xwisten First Nation (Bridge River Indian Band), Whispering Pines/Clinton Indian Band, Shackan Indian Band, Nooaitch First Nation, Ts’kw’aylaxw First Nation, Coldwater Indian Band and Esk’etemc First Nation.

CITY COUNCIL NEWS

The Tools of Local Government

Mayor Bob [email protected]

Bob Simpson, Mayor

This column is paid for by the City of Quesnel.410 Kinchant Street, Quesnel, BC V2J 7J5

www.quesnel.ca

After a successful and productive Union of BC Municipalities Convention, Council is once again focused on the City’s budget, bylaws and our Official Community Plan. These are the tools local government has at its disposal to shape the community we were elected to govern.

As with our 2015 budget, Quesnel City Council is focused on reducing the City’s operating costs. The target set by Council for 2016 is a minimum of $525,000 in savings so we won’t have to raise taxes for basic ser-vices, programs and general operations. This will create the room we need to raise taxes only for infrastructure and we’re still plan-ning on a 5% tax increase for that purpose in 2016.

As part of our 2016 budget deliberations we’re also trying to determine how we can best wean the City off its dependence on in-dustrial taxation. Currently, we receive about 60% of our total property tax revenue from heavy industry (mostly from West Fraser) while residential ratepayers contribute only 19%. This makes our community extremely vulnerable to more mill closures and it also makes it difficult for us to attract investment (we have one of the highest industrial tax rates in the province).

While our Financial Sustainability Commit-tee wrestles with the budget, the Policy and Bylaw Committee has been working on pro-posed bylaws that will help Council enhance our City’s attractiveness and livability. Our tobacco-smoke free public spaces bylaw is still open for public discussion prior to final reading in October. Council will also be seek-ing input on its new, comprehensive Street and Traffic Bylaw that contains anti-idling regulations and regulations restricting panhandling. Another bylaw in the works proposes to regulate the use of shipping containers in the City. All of these bylaws are designed to ensure Quesnel maintains its vibrancy and resiliency, and they are all still open for public feedback.

A foundational tool for local government is the Official Community Plan (OCP) and Council is currently reviewing all aspects of Quesnel’s OCP. This is the basic foundation for zoning and, if done right, can help us to attract investment and grow our community in a sustainable fashion. Our development of a new Master Parks Plan, the work we’re doing with Ministry of Transportation on the Highway 97 corridor, and the updating of our 1997 Bicycle Network Plan are all part of our OCP review process.

Council is using all of the tools at its dis-posal to lead our community through this transition period.

CAPSULE COMMENTSSafeway

With Jessica Joly B.Sc. (Pharm)Before the modern age of drug therapy, many medications came as liquid extracts of natural products. Whiskey, in strengths of up to 60%, was the main ingredient in many of these products. It was felt that the alcohol was very good for its sedative effects, particularly in young children. Times have changed……..Portion size is still one of the most powerful methods of losing weight. This is particularly important when we travel. We tend to be a little more liberal in our eating habits on holidays and this can often lead to weight-gain. Guidelines about coffee consumption seem to agree that four cups daily is a safe quantity to drink. For pregnant women and children the amount is a lot less…. about one cup.Ever since 1998, when drugs became available to enhance men’s sexual health, drug companies have been working hard to find a female equivalent. One company has found such a drug but results are mixed and there are some side effects that the Food and Drug Administration in the U.S. has not allowed its release yet until the company deals with the risks attached to the drug.Research is carried on worldwide to find new drugs to treat all the diseases that plague us. We try to keep current on that drug research and when a new drug does come onto the market, chances are that we will know about it. We encourage your question about new and old drugs. Drop in soon!

FraserviewPharmacy

FOur!!!!!Funded in part by the Alex & Luanne Coffey Family Fund, Special Olympics BC – Quesnel received $910 for team gold jerseys. At the annual Gala on April 11, Sustaining Partner Glen Boudreau from Fraserview Pharmacy presented the cheque to Special Olympics volunteer Rick Prosk.

SOBC-Quesnel is an affiliated local group within the Special Olympics BC organization. Their mandate is to provide competitive sport training and opportunities to mentally challenged youth and adults in the community. This is done by providing twelve sports programs, offered year-round. For most of these programs, there is an opportunity for athletes who have committed to the sport training to engage in competition within the region and the province. In addition to providing these opportunities to compete, SOBC-Quesnel also provides fitness and strength training through a newly-established “Club Fit” program. Athletes are also provided with information about healthy lifestyles. Their involvement in Special Olympics helps to boost their self-esteem, learn valuable social skills, develop independence, and represent their home community whenever they travel as a team. The golf program was established in 2011 as an initiative of Kathy Gook, a local golf pro who currently instructs and co-ordinates the school golf program for the BC Golf Association. With support from Ken and Karen Reid, owners of the Quesnel Golf Course, the program expanded from two to five months. . This past fall, Quesnel hosted its first golf tournament with athletes attending from Prince George and 100 Mile House. Many local golfers continue to use the second-hand golf clubs received from local donors. At the tournament, they wore uniforms that had been passed on from the bowling program. These are dated, and ill-fitting for most of the athletes. The new, dri-fit uniforms will present them in a more positive light to their competitors and the community.

For more information on Special Olympics BC – Quesnel, call Rick at 250-992-2741.

Online voting gets tepid thumbs upE-vote privacy, manipulation fears aired at UBCM

JEFF NAGELBlack Press

B.C. municipal lead-ers voted by a slim margin Wednesday to urge the province to enable online voting in time for the 2018 local elections.

The resolution from Osoyoos was passed by 51 per cent of delegates at the Union of B.C. Municipali-ties convention in an electronic vote after it had initially been declared defeated in a show of hands.

Advocates say the convenience of online voting could boost the dismal turnout of municipal elections and engage many more young people.

Vancouver Coun. Andrea Reimer said no municipality would be forced to adopt online voting, the aim is merely to make it an available option for communi-ties and individuals that want it.

But Saanich Coun. Vic Derman warned there’s no way to guarantee an online voter is casting their ballot in privacy, without someone else directing or manipu-lating them, possibly buying their vote.

“It does affect one’s privacy of vote that should take place behind a screen at a ballot box,” said Lorne Lewis, a Sun-shine Coast Regional District director.

He said it’s wrong “to put people in a situation where they can be badgered about their vote.”

The close vote sug-gests the issue is hav-ing increasing trouble gaining traction.

A similar UBCM motion in 2011 passed by a two-to-one margin.

Since then, an inde-pendent panel struck by the provincial gov-ernment concluded last year that the risks outweigh the benefits,

and recommended that any move to online voting be limited to voters with specific accessibility challenges.

That report by B.C.’s chief electoral officer also found no

evidence of a sig-nificant increase in voter turnout in other jurisdictions that have adopted online voting.

Reimer isn’t con-cerned about the close vote and said

online voting for B.C. mayors and councils is inevitable.

“The only question is when and how far behind other jurisdic-tions we’ll be when we get to that point.”

Vancouver Coun. Andrea Reimer speaks to delegates at Union of B.C. Municipali-ties convention in Vancouver.

CompassionThe debate around how to

help Syrian refugees, flee-ing a vicious civil war and

expanding Islamic State terrorism, has become something of a political football in Canada.It’s to be expected that various par-

ties during the election would make various claims on the best approach.But this is beyond politics. The

publication of the photo that went around the world – that of three-year-old Syrian refugee Alan Kurdi – is ample evidence of that.Canadians are compassionate

people and there is ample precedent for helping those in need.We need only recall when in the

1980s thousands of Vietnamese “boat people” were taken in by this country.Compassion has to supersede poli-

tics in this matter but other ques-tions arise of Canadians wanting to respond.While dramatic and serious events

like the Syrian crisis are few and far between, there is no lack of other events seeking our charitable re-sponse.It’s important to analyze how

useful and effective such charitable “trends” are, often spurred on by heart-wrenching photos, and where they go after the outrage dies down and the public moves on to the next hot issue.We can look beyond the migrant

crisis in Europe to any number of countries that would benefit from the aid and compassion of Canadi-ans. And it is right and good that we continue to do what we can.And for every trendy hashtag and

its accompanying global outrage, there are local issues which, perhaps at times lacking the same profile, still need our attention.The status of refugees, and Cana-

da’s responsibility in assisting them, is deservedly in the spotlight. And local organizations that are doing their part deserve our accolades, es-pecially as most of them were doing the hard work to support refugees for years before it became a trendy issue.

–BP

We’re seeing the effects of our post-literate,

feelings-based education system and media on the federal election. Candidate bozo eruptions are becom-ing more frequent.

Most recently a Liberal candidate on Vancouver Island admitted she has long believed that hijacked jetliners could not have destroyed the World Trade Centre on 9-11, that it was all “a lie.” That was “my truth,” she said, in the lingo of the feelings-first, inner-child crowd.

Now she’s “moved on” to a slightly different fact-free conclusion, that we’ll just never know how those 3,000 people were mur-dered. And she wants to go to Ottawa and help run this country.

Feelings-based beliefs were on display again at last week’s Union of B.C. Municipalities convention in Vancouver, where bozo eruptions by local politi-cians come in bunches.

This year’s main outbreak was an emotional demand that the B.C. government enact a provincial bill of rights. This magic municipal Magna Carta “recognizes the right of every resident

to live in a healthy environ-ment, including the right to clean air, clean water and vibrant ecosystems.”

Alert taxpayers may wonder, how many law-yers would it take to define “vibrant”? More on that in a moment.

Local councils across B.C. and around the country have been pitched this scheme by the David Suzuki Foundation, which calls it the Blue Dot campaign. In short, it’s part of the bigger plan to save the planet by crushing capitalism, current-ly being pushed by the Pope, the UN and others.

Victoria Mayor Lisa Helps was one of the most pas-sionate backers. She quoted the plea presented to her council by an 11-year-old recruited by the Blue Dot team.

There are many such chil-dren, terrified by indoctri-

nation about the imminent destruction of Earth and all its cuddly creatures that has bombarded them since they learned to speak. They are found in the wealthiest countries in human history, those enjoying health, com-fort and opportunity not imagined by anyone 100 years ago.

In the vast, air-conditioned hall of the Vancouver Con-vention Centre, there were several attempts at adult supervision.

Coquitlam Coun. Terry O’Neill noted that unlike intrinsic rights articulated in Canada’s charter, freedom of assembly and so forth, this is an attempt to invent new rights that are actually demands for “others to do something for you.”

Indeed, if we’re going to have government by 11-year-olds, we might as well throw in a right to free ice cream.

Chilliwack Mayor Sharon Gaetz went off on a rant about how this new “vi-sion” would protect us from things like Volkswagen fid-dling its diesel fuel emission results.

The resolution calls for “access to justice when environmental rights are in-fringed,” which sounds like

code for some sort of costly new legal aid program to pursue every individual grievance.

Meanwhile in the real world, class action lawsuits are being prepared to gain compensation for lost resale value of millions of cars. This is what happens in for-tunate places like Canada that already have access to justice.

O’Neill read off a long list of existing B.C. legisla-tion that protects water, air, wildlife, food, public health and so on. Helps replied that this bill of rights would “consolidate” all that. One more layer of bureaucracy, that’s the Victoria spirit.

Williams Lake Mayor Walt Cobb pleaded with rural delegates to reject this “David Suzuki propaganda” that is designed to put more roadblocks in the way of the very resource industries that provide our modern comforts.

Alas, the resolution passed in a show of hands that should have been, but wasn’t, put to a counted vote.

Editor:For several months now,

many of us have watched with horror the unfolding human tragedies of hundreds of thousands of refugees desperately trying to escape civil war both in Africa and the Middle East.

As a child and grandchild of religious, political and economic refugees and listening to the personal family horror stories that profoundly affected my parents and grandparents, I deeply sympathise with the plight of all refugees caught in the cross-fire and trying to escape.

As a secondary school teacher, I also had refugee students. I was mostly amazed how hard they and their parents worked to better their situations.

Coming to a strange country with strange customs and a new language is always very difficult. Plus, there is the added stress of making a living, doing whatever it takes to survive, taking menial jobs at minimum wage and learning to accept the generosity of total strangers, and also dealing with those who show you no compassion and who actually express hostility and even hatred towards you and your ethnic group.

Growing up as a young child in the 1950’s and 60’s after WW II, I personally experienced hostility because my parents spoke German, yet I was born in Canada.

However, I’m troubled by people and politicians who would “throw Canada’s doors wide open” to any and all who claim refugee status

I’m so glad Canada did not do that with my parents’ and grandparents’ generation. The first obligation of any government is to protect its own citizens and that requires intense screening. First of all, is the refugee really a refugee? Is the person even who he claims to be?

I’m well aware that for obvious reasons, many refugees carry no identification ID could endanger their lives.

However, it is the duty of our front-line immigration officials to be sure that a person is who he says he is; that he has not claimed to be someone he isn’t, so he can evade prosecution and punishment for war crimes. Sorry, folks. This process just takes time. There is no other way. In the absence of concrete identification, stories have to be verified to protect us.

As a child, I can recall stories of how people snuck into Canada, claiming to be someone else and later being deported to face war crimes trials for being an SS or Gestapo officer of the Nazi regime. Many readers can recall the recent citizenship stripping and then extradition of an aged John Demjaniuk to face trial and then live out the rest of his few years in prison for the crimes he committed as a concentration camp guard during WW II.

From time to time, we also read of stories of former Khmyr Rouge officials who have snuck into other countries but are finally exposed to face trial for their role in the massacre of millions of Cambodians. And who can forget the Rwanda and former Yugoslavian genocides?

Do we want these perps to live off the avails in Canada for years before they are discovered, if discovered at all? What about common criminals who only become “refugees” to avoid legitimate prosecution in their own country?

Also, what about medical exams for highly contagious dangerous diseases such as ebola and tuberculosis? Do the “bleeding hearts” want to put all of us and our children

at risk? My mom tells us that in 1925, she and her whole extended family were all screened for glaucoma, TB and other serious health defects. Rightly so, but sad to say, some people in other families who travelled with them were denied entry to Canada for these health reasons to protect the health of Canadians.

There is also the significant economic cost to all of us. Who pays for health care, education, social services? The cities where refugees live also must provide water, sewer and garbage pick up. And who pays for food, clothing and shelter if family members cannot immediately find work that they are qualified and able to do? While I agree we should do what we can, we must also realize that we are a country of only 34 million people. I can totally understand how a number of European countries are currently overwhelmed by the impossibility of adequately dealing with all the refugees that have recently come in. This is a huge extra burden for countries that are already struggling economically. For us, there is only one tax payer for any government program and it is us, folks. I agree it’s a discussion we should have - “How many should we take in?”

Who’s willing to step up as a personal sponsor? Could groups of families band together to sponsor a family? I know of families who did just that in Quesnel years ago with the Vietnamese Boat people.

And what about doing something about the reasons for these people becoming refugees? Dealing ‘summarily’ with the perps who are causing people to flee for their lives?

This is why I believe Canada is doing the right thing by playing a military role to stop the horrendous crimes against humanity that are currently going on in Africa and the Middle East. Stop the reign of terror, and we solve the refugee problem altogether.

The Rotary International Exchange

program offers students the opportunity to experience foreign cultures, delve into personal growth and expand youthful boundaries and that was certainly true for Cheri Maisonneuve.

At 16, having a connection to a world traveller, Cheri had a glimpse of life beyond Quesnel and began looking for exchange opportunities, starting with her school counsellor.

“She told me about Rotary exchange,” Cheri said.

She and her parents were thoroughly evaluated for Cheri’s suitability for the program, and to her excitement she was selected.

“Rotary is one of the few exchange programs that is merit based with an extensive selection process,” she said.

“They try to prepare you for what you’ll experience.”

Cheri said one of the most important aspects to

being a Rotary exchange student is your role as an ambassador for Canada, your community and Rotary.

“I took that very seriously and was proud to ful� l that role,” she said.

So, in 1995, Cheri headed to Oaxaca, Mexico where she ran headlong into a cultural shock she never expected.

“Back then we didn’t all have cell phones or the technology they have now to stay in touch with home,” she said.

“Once you arrived at your host family home you wrote lots of letters and might talk on the phone to your own family maybe once a month.”

It wasn’t long before Cheri felt grateful and really appreciated how good life is in Canada for most Canadians.

“Even as a middle class Canadian, I was better off than most Mexicans and that was a humbling realization,” she said.

Cheri, a veteran with 5 exchanges under her belt, said exchanges have a de� nite cycle with everything new and wonderful the � rst 3 – 4 months, but then the language challenges,

the lack of modern conveniences you’re used to, missing family and adjusting to life in another country begins to take a toll. She said it was especially true at Christmas for her.

However, an aspect of life in Canada that she never expected to miss, really impacted her.

“I missed the B.C. trees, the greenery, the wildlife, life in Oaxaca is mostly desert with palm trees and only two seasons, rainy and hot,” she said.

“I missed the four seasons.”

Cheri attended a government high school and was enrolled in their tourism program. Students in Mexico either attend private school or government schools and there was no budget for private school for Cheri.

But she loved the experience.

“We had to wear uniforms and I thought I would hate that but I actually loved it. You didn’t have to think about what you’d wear and it takes away a lot of the distinction between students,” she said.

“I also played volleyball and a form of soccer called ‘baby foot’ which

was played on a concrete court, sort of like a tennis court. I learned very good ball handling skills.”

In total, Cheri and three other North American Rotary exchange students rotated through four different host families and Cheri said as with any situation, some were good placements and some presented unique challenges, but each also presented learning and personal growth opportunities for this avid exchange student.

“The outbound exchange student has an obligation to interact with their host community, immerse themselves in the culture and really try to disconnect, even for a little while, with what they know to be home. It would seem that’s more dif� cult for today’s exchange students than it was for me, as we didn’t have those options,” she said.

“But it’s so important to get the most out of your exchange experience and to work to overcome language and culture challenges.”

For this teenage girl, her experience in Mexico kicked off her love of travel, culture and helping

people.She went on to achieve

a Bachelor’s degree in Commerce with a major in International Business, a post graduate diploma in political science with a focus on Latin America and an MBA in International Business.

She’s visited about 45 countries now, has worked and studied in Peru, France and Malaysia. She’s worked in various international industries include commerce, mining, logistics and oil and gas.

“The Rotary exchange program was life-changing, there’s nothing like it,” she said.

“The passion that Rotary has is unparalleled. They’re invested in the program and they care about you as an individual, as an ambassador and want you to have the best experience.”

As Cheri matured and went on to live a full-� lling life she realizes how many of the experiences she had in Mexico helped her develop compassion for people and a view of the world she wouldn’t have had otherwise.

“Living amongst people in real poverty helped me

realize the importance of community, and how impactful international programs such as Rotary are and how micro-credit, education and empowering people help them help themselves get out of poverty,” she said.

“I also had to learn personal � nancing while I was there, something that prepared me for my studies and University in a way that I never would have had.”

For anyone considering a Rotary exchange, Cheri is very enthusiastic.

“It was mind-boggling and opens yours heart, mind and soul to new experiences.”

Today, Cheri continues to help people, is also a wife and mother and still � nds time to be a committed Rotary member.

“I’m committed to Rotary and its ideals. Being involved has a real impact both locally and internationally.”

Anyone interested in either becoming a Rotary exchange student or hosting a foreign Rotary exchange student can contact Rotarians Paul Mednis, 250-992-3402 or Cheri at 250-992-8531.

LIFESTYLES

In 2014, the committee decided to try a shuttle bus system. The idea was great and the people tried hard to make it work but the system was overwhelmed and participants had to wait for a ride. We hoped for a van but ended up with two cars to do the shuttling. As people saw the increasing need, drivers joined the queue and started shuttling runners to the boat launch. That morning, there were nearly 10 private vehicles moving ladies between Dragon Lake School and the boat launch. This shows the Quesnel spirit of see a need and � nd a way to � ll it.

Well, Mayor Simpson happened to be one of those drivers. That day, he vowed that if he became mayor, he would help make the shuttle system work better. The City of Quesnel has dedicated two city buses for our day. Participants will have the choice of using this system. You may drive to the boat launch if you wish and you might

get within a few hundred meters of the site if you are early. But we encourage you to leave your car at the school. There are three parking areas and � aggers will help you � t in. Then all you have to do is wait for the bus.

Our volunteer drivers will begin shuttling at 7:30 a.m. The two buses can hold more than 20 passengers each so this will make access to the race site so much smoother, simpler and fun. The trips will continue until race time and then the drivers will take a break until the speediest start to return. Then the shuttles will start again. The last shuttle should be heading

back to the school about 11:30. It may be later if necessary but by then most, if not all, of the tired legs have completed the course.

The bus will enter the lane leading to the launch area, drop passengers off by the launch and then make a sharp turn to head back. This means we need to cordon off a distinct area that will pass by the

porta-potties and the late package pick up area. Please be aware of everything around you as you meet your friends, sort your gear and do your warmup.

Every person who helps you participate in this event is a volunteer. Please be generous with your thank-yous and compliments. Great Job, Quesnel!

The recent Shiroai/Quesnel Twinning Society delegation to Shiraoi included both teenagers and adults and each experienced the trip from their perspective. Tobias Nestel, a Quesnel teenager, stayed with the Makino family and had wonderful things to say about their hospitality.

“My home stay family was very kind,” he said.

“They would give me so many gifts I had to have another bag to fit them it. They also made sure I was always having fun.”

Elizabeth Hunter, Ques-nel museum manager, was also on the trip and said the best part of that experience was staying with her host family, the Kawanishi family and the personal connections she

made as well as the opportunity to gain in-sight into Japanese daily life.

“Their hospitality is a bit overwhelming, but very genuine and I think we all came back with some very special memories,” Elizabeth said.

Both reported a very active touring element to their experience.

Tobias said they went to an arcade and the super market (which he said was really big and also they went to a Japanese-style pizza place.

“I went to a water show with my family where I got to see a penguin parade, a sea lion and dolphin show and also we rode a ferris wheel,” he said.

Tobias said he tried oc-topus for the first time.

“It was delicious. It was so good it’s my favourite food from Japan.”

For Elizabeth, one of her best days was spent people-watching in Ueno Park in Tokyo as well as the five hours she spent at the National Museum.

“I only got through the first building featuring the Japanese collection and there were three other buildings,” she said.

“I also really enjoyed the gardens and archi-tecture in the temple complexes, especially at Nikko and Narita. The view from Mount Tarumae was pretty spectacular and everyone took pride in claiming ‘we climbed an active

volcano’.”When asked what

surprised him most about Japan, Tobias said it was in Tokyo he discovered the Japanese used smoke to cleanse their soul.

For Tobias, his trip home to Canada had some very uneasy mo-ments.

“When we were leaving Japan, I lost my passport on the plane to Vancou-ver,” he said.

“It was very scary because they told me I would have to go to a place for two weeks so they could tell I was me.

Luckily they found my passport on the plane so then I was safe.”

Watch for more im-pressions of Japan in an upcoming Observer.

Master Instructor Joel Kolenchuk at the martial arts boot camp Sept. 19.Ryan Graham photos

Martial Arts and Pole Classes availableRYAN GRAHAM

Observer Reporter

If you’ve been thinking about getting fit, the time is now! Tiger Martial Arts and Vile Pole Arts are providing op-portunities to reach your fitness goals.

The martial art classes offer a variety of programs. They include Tae Kwon Do, Jiu Jitso, black belt, leadership, kickboxing and Teuk Gong Moo Sul.

Master Instructor Joel Kolenchuk believes martial arts are more than a sport.

“I consider it a way of life rather than a sport,” Kolenchuk said.

“With most sports you get certain benefits from them, but it’s not the focus of the sport.”

Each month has a different theme. During the classes they discuss the

subject, before moving onto the physical aspect. September’s theme is discipline, where they talk about self-discipline and respect. They have test-ing every three months, where students are evaluated for belt advancement.During the season they have a tourna-ment in Kamloops, which involves all the Canadian Martial Arts Federation affiliated schools. They offer free trial’s for people thinking about joining. Kolenchuck believes people should understand what there doing, before paying for it.

“I hate anytime that people pay for something and feel like you didn’t get to utilize it,” Kolenchuk said.

“We want people to feel like they’ve gotten the most out of their money and what they deserved to learn out of the martial arts.”

People joining are as young as four. Currently the club has 75 members and is always looking for more.

“Come in and just try it out,” Kolen-chuk said.

“You don’t have anything to loose.” The other class available is Vile Pole

Arts, which provide people with pro-grams in pole classes and circus arts. Instructor Jenny Phillips says the aerial silks class is well-liked.

“The silks is probably our most popular class,” Phillips said.

“There usually always full.” Both classes are located at Maple

Park Mall. More information for both classes is available at http://tigermar-tialarts.ca for martial arts and http://www.vilepolearts.com for Vile Pole Arts. Jenny Phillips and Joel Kolenchuk the instructors for

the two classes.


September 27 - Oct 3, 2015ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20You are extra motivated to explore new opportuni-ties this week, Aries. Bring along a trusted advisor who can steer you in the right direction if you have questions.

TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21It is very important to find balance, Taurus. Many activities are coming up, and you have to figure out a way to juggle them all. This will take some creativity.

GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21Gemini, avoid overindulging this week. Even though it may seem like you can never get enough, over time something special may lose its spark. Practice moderation, instead.

CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22Cancer, everything will work out the way it should if you keep a smile on your face this week and continue with the status quo. Soon you can shake things up.

LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23Leo, you may be compelled to get more involved in your community or a volunteer project this week. A desire to give something back propels your actions.

VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22You have a soft spot for underdogs this week, Virgo. Anyone who seems to be struggling will have your attention, and you will offer to lend a hand.

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, this week presents opportunities to help people or even animals in need. If ever there was a time to take up a cause, now is it. You have plenty of extra time to lend a hand.

SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22Scorpio, you may find yourself waking up extra early just to accomplish everything you need to get done. Try not to burn the candle at both ends for too long.

SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21Sagittarius, you will enjoy downtime much more after you complete an important task and feel a sense of accomplishment. Rest may still be a few days away, so be patient.

CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20Capricorn, things may be a little confusing of late, but you will find a clear path to get things done. Ask a friend or colleague to lend a helping hand if things get too hectic.

AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18Relationships are very important this week, Aquarius. Nurture both the personal and profes-sional relationships that you want to grow, and you will be happy you did.

PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20Pisces, the earlier half of the week may be hectic, but things will return to an even keel as the days press on.

Quesnel impresses at icebreaker tournament

RYAN GRAHAMObserver Reporter

Hockey is back! The Quesnel Minor Hockey Association held their Peewee Ice-breaker tournament this weekend Sept. 26 – 27 at Twins Arenas. It was an entertaining tournament with the players showing their skills.

The teams were Prince George tier one and two, Williams Lake, Vanderhoof and Quesnel.

Quesnel ran away with the tournament, as they went unde-feated in their games. They beat Prince George in both con-tests 9-6 and 9-2.

Defeated Van-derhoof 15-0 in a blowout and 3-0 in their second game and continued to roll, finishing off the tournament with a 13-2 win against Wil-liams Lake.

The purpose of the tournament was so coaches could evaluate players in game situations to make their final cuts. Although, there was no actual winners as it was an exhibi-tion tournament, it showed what Quesnel players are capable

of. Quesnel’s Midget club also had an ice-breaker tournament in Prince George and came away with two wins, one loss and a tie.

They beat Vander-hoof twice 6-1 and 3-2. Lost 7-2 against Williams Lake and tied Prince George with 46 seconds left in the third period. Quesnel will host the Atom Select tourna-ment Oct. 10 –11.

Fans taking in the Jays game at the Rogers Centre.Ryan Graham photo


The Toronto Blue Jays ended their regular season home stand in style as they swept the Tampa Bay Rays and clinched a playoff berth for the first time in 22 years. There was no celebra-tion hangover Sunday, as the Jays went onto defeat Tampa Bay 5-4 courtesy of a solo home run in the bot-tom of the ninth by MVP candidate Josh Donaldson. Saturday saw them clinch a playoff spot, assuring them of at least the wild card. They are now only two wins away to clinch the di-vision and have a one game lead over the Kansas City Royals for the best record in the American League.

If they capture top spot they will secure home field advan-tage throughout the post-season. Toronto finished their home record 53-28. The 53 wins are the most since 1992, with the club record being 54 in 1985.

The Jays will finish the year on the road playing Baltimore and Tampa Bay with the season finishing Oct. 4, when playoff posi-tions will be deter-mined.

One big ques-tion heading into the playoffs will be if their shortstop, Troy Tulowitzki will be healthy to play, as he has been out since Sept. 12 with a fracture in his left shoulder blade after colliding with Kevin Pillar.

Tulowitski has made strides recently, as he took swings for the first time, hitting off a tee.

Sunday also saw the 27th sellout of the season, 20 which has come in their last 21 games after they made their blockbust-er trades for Tulow-itzki, Ben Revere and David Price.

The total attendance mark was raised to 2,794, 891, which is the highest since 1995.

They will have to wait to find out who they will play, but it will be an entertain-ing week to see if they can carry the momen-tum into the playoffs and give Canadian baseball fans a winner they have waited for since 1993.

The wait is finally over


Cops for Cancer will be hosting a touch football tournament Oct. 17 – 18. If you would like to register call the Quesnel Arts and Recreation Cen-tre at 250-992-8200 or Josh Nutley at the Quesnel RCMP. All proceeds raised will go to Cops for Can-cer. It’s $200 per team with minimum seven people per team.

“GO ROOS GO”

A Roos player scans the ice looking for an opening.Observer file photos


The Quesnel Kangaroos season is about to begin, as they take a run at this year’s champi-onship. Last season, the ‘Roos finished with a record of 8-7-1, securing second in the east division with 17 points. The playoffs saw them face the Williams Lake Stampeders where they were defeated in a close series. The playoff format has changed, as all seven teams will compete in the postseason.

This year, the top team in the east division will receive a first-round bye and will play the winner of the second and third place game in the second round. The west division will see the first place team play the fourth and the second will

face the third in the first round. The Terrace River Kings won the champion-ship last year, as they defeated the Williams Lake Stampeders. Head Coach Terry Klapstein believes the Roos bring a veteran squad to the ice in

2015. So far, Klap-stein likes what he sees of his team and see this year going well.

“I think were going to have a good sea-son,” Klapstein said.

“We have a good group of guys.”

Klapstein also

said he likes a dump and chase game, allowing his team to get on the fore-check and create turn-overs. Waylon L’ Heureux returns as cap-tain and bring a leadership presence on the ice and in the locker room. Klapstein said the Roos will be a hardworking team that gives a full effort every game. Their first contest will be Oct. 3, when they

play the Kitimat Ice Demons in Kitimat.

The Roos first home game will be Oct. 17 against the Smithers Steelheads at 7:30 p.m. Home game tickets will be avail-able one hour before the game at the arena,

$10 for adults, $8 for seniors and $5 for kids who are ten and under.

Saturday games will be at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday games at 1 p.m.

With the count down to the season opener on, the play-ers and coaches will work on fine tuning their game.

With the experience the squad is brining back it should be an entertaining season for fans. Come out and support the boys as they begin their year.

A Roos player make a long pass.

Wednesday, September 30, 2015 Quesnel Cariboo ObserverB6 www.quesnelobserver.com

There are several things you can do to achieve a kitchen that’s closer to the one you dream of without the hassle of large scale renovations that involve knocking down walls and replacing every appliance you own. Elegant, inviting, sleek, trendy, and warm – these are how you want to hear your kitchen described, and there are a few simple changes you can make a big impact.

Accessorizing your kitchen doesn’t have to interfere with your workflow and functionality, in fact, kitchen counter accessories can actually enhance it. If you’re on the quest to enhance work space while also achieving a balanced and clean design, look for products like the Blanco Quatrus Gourmet Series of sink accessories for their Quatrus sink collection.

“The Blanco Quatrus Gourmet Series delivers a smart and innovative space saving solution. This collec-tion allows you to rethink the daily work in the kitch-en, harmonizing everyday needs with a model kitchen

look” Blanco’s marketing manager, Edyta Drutis said.

These Blanco kitchen accessories will keep your space both stylish and func-tional:

Cutting boardWhile a cutting board is a

tool that you use every day, it can act as a design centre feature for your kitchen. Look for warm wood colours to accentuate the tones of your sink. Blanco’s Ash Cutting Board incor-porates functional style, fitting directly on top of the sink allowing you to chop and prepare ingredients and then move the excess and scraps into the sink below. It also serves as the counter-top extension.

WorkstationMany of us know the feel-

ing of having a drawer filled with knives and utensils that can leave you constant-ly searching for the right kitchen tool. For a safe and design friendly way to or-ganize and showcase these items, opt for a Worksta-tion that holds sharp knives safely and conveniently to make these tools easy to find and clean later on.

Stainless steel gridsYour sink can be a highly

overused appliance in your kitchen. To protect its finish from dishes and utensils, look for stainless steel sink grids that not only compli-ment the look of the sink but provide a non-skid protective base that allows water to drain below the dishes.

This feature can do double duty to wash fruits, veg-etables, and pots and pans inside your sink with ease.

Sink caddyDish sponges and soap left

scattered around your sink can leave the area looking messy and even corrode your counter if left out for too long. Blanco’s stainless steel Magnetic Sink Caddy keeps clean up essentials like sponges and scrub brushes within reach and organized to give your sink area a spotless and fresh look.

More ideas on adding styl-ish space saving accessories to your kitchen are avail-able at blancocanada.com.

Functional ways to accessorize your kitchen

Too many homeowners make home maintenance an annual event. They often use spring cleaning as the only excuse to get things done around the house. In reality, proper home maintenance should be done year-round – even for a brand new home. The Fall in particular offers some essential maintenance tasks that you should consider to keep your new home healthy and ensure that your warranty rights are protected. With the warm weather giving away slowly to winter, here’s a short checklist of key things to watch.

• Take a walk around the outside of your home and check all windows and doors for cracks around the framing. Re-caulk if you notice any cracks or separations. (Tip: for windows on second stories or above take digital photos and zoom in. It could save multiple trips up a ladder.)

• Check the weather stripping on exterior doors.

Make sure they are not damaged or worn and will keep that warm air inside your home come December.

• Have your roof inspected professionally to ensure shingles, flashing and chimney caps are in place and sealed properly.

• Clear leaves from eavestroughs and downspouts and repair any cracks or seam separations with caulking. Check all downspouts for damage. (Note: If you’re having a professional roofing company check the roof they can check the eaves and downspouts at the same time.)

• Shut off your home’s exterior water supply and drain exterior water lines. Leave the taps open a bit to ensure any trapped or remaining water will not freeze and damage the water supply line. (This should also be done with any irrigation systems or water features like ponds or fountains.)

• Test all smoke alarms and

carbon monoxide detectors.• Clean and test all exhaust

fans (this includes dryer vents, stove vents and furnace vents).

• Check your sump-pump float and discharge line and test overall operation.

• If recommended by the manufacturer, install a protective winter cover on your air conditioning unit.

• Clean or replace your furnace filter.

• If your home has one, clean and turn off the humidifier and the Heat Recovery Ventilator (HRV).

• Have your furnace serviced in preparation for winter.

• Inspect your fireplace and chimney dampers and service or clean if necessary. (This applies to gas and wood burning fireplaces.)

• Winterize your landscape by storing outdoor furniture and covering plants.

A year-round home maintenance checklist can be found online at tarion.com.

RecipesStart your morning with these

deliciously messy, all-out breakfast sandwiches inspired by traditional Mexican � avours. Meat eaters can kick this sandwich up a notch by adding bacon - a salty and savoury combination with the peanut but-ter. Serve with hot sauce to add some heat.

Prep time: 10 minutesCooking time: 3 minutes (with-

out bacon.) Makes 2 sandwiches

Ingredients•1 tsp (5 ml) white or cider vin-egar (optional)•1/3 cup (75 mL) canned black beans, drained or rinsed•2 tsp (10 ml) lime juicePinch each cumin and salt•3 tbsp (45 ml) coriander, coarsely chopped and divided•3 tbsp (45 ml) peanut butter•2 tbsp (30 ml) mayonnaise•1 tbsp (15 ml) canned adobo peppers in adobo sauce, chopped•2 eggs•2 whole wheat English muffi ns•2 slices crisp cooked bacon, bro-ken in half (optional)•2 to 4 thin tomato slices

DirectionsBring a medium pot of water

and vinegar to a simmer (vinegar helps the eggs to set). Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, use a fork to coarsely mash the beans with lime juice, cumin and salt. Stir in half the coriander. In a small bowl, stir peanut butter with mayonnaise and adobo peppers.

Crack one egg into a small ramekin or bowl. Slide egg into simmering water. Repeat with the second egg. Simmer for 3 minutes. While eggs are cooking, split and toast English muffi ns. Remove eggs, one at a time, using a slotted spoon. Pat dry with paper towel and set on a plate.

Spread both sides of English muffi ns with peanut butter mix-ture. Top base with bacon if using, then tomato slices, dollops of black bean mash, egg and corian-der.

Finish with tops of English muf-fi ns to form 2 sandwiches.

Tip: Swap out the poached egg for a fried or scrambled egg, if preferred.

Now that summer is offi cially in the sunset, it is time to take ad-vantage of what fall has to offer – summer berries are out and apples are in. This fall, try the seasons’ favourite fruit in new and differ-ent ways; it isn’t just about apple pie anymore.

Make a tasty dinner with a few ingredients


Most people wouldn’t think twice about grabbing their pet and taking them for a ride in the car to run some errands or to visit friends and family. However, with an increased focus on distracted driving and overall driving safety, there is growing concern about pet safety in the car.

“Many people overlook the potential distraction that a pet can be, especially if they are loose in your vehicle,” Wayne Ross, an insurance expert with Aviva Canada said.

“They can distract you from the road, impair your vision, and even attempt to climb on you while driving. Properly securing your pet will ensure you are both safe.”

Goossens offers the following tips when you go for a ride:

• Don’t let your pets run loose in the car.

• Don’t let your dog hang its head outside the window.

• Secure your pets using a pet-friendly seat belt or safety harness.

• Crate small pets at all times.• Avoid letting your pets sit

on your lap when driving.• Never leave your animal in

the car unattended.• Consider installing a dog

barrier in your vehicle if you have a hatchback, van or SUV.

Properly securing your pets in the car and ensuring they are safe before you hit the road will mean one less distraction.

Securing your pet in the vehicle

Making the transition to a new home can be stressful for everyone, including your pets.

“We often are anxious about our pets’ adjustment to a new home,” Lincoln Thompson, a broker-owner with Royal LePage said.

“To ensure a safe and successful transition, homeowners can plan ahead and take initiatives to make the process as smooth as possible.”

Before the move. Pull out moving boxes in advance of packing to allow your pet an opportunity to become accustomed to them. Orient your pet to its carrier or crate so that you have a safe place for her before and after the move. Try to keep routines as stable as possible during the flurry of packing and preparation for the big move.

Research by-laws and pet licensing in your new area. Contact the local municipality for requirements concerning domestic animals in your new area. Ask about licensing and by-laws concerning the responsibilities of pet owners.

Also check into the availability of off-leash areas for dogs in your new community.

Special considerations for rural areas. If your new home is in a rural area, be sure to learn the rights of farmers when neighbouring pets venture onto their property. Often, farmers have special privileges when it comes to protecting their livestock.

Transitioning your pet to your new home. Be prepared for some trepidation, particularly with cats that tend not to take as well to a change in environment. Cats should remain inside for several weeks until they become comfortable with their surroundings. Then, allow them only short accompanied ventures outdoors. Take your dog for several walks each day to help him become familiar with the new area. Avoid walking a dog immediately before leaving for errands or work. Plan to be home for a period of time after those initial walks. That way, the dog will associate his new home with positive outcomes.

PLAN NUMBER 5-3-641 WRAP-AROUND VERANDA DESIGN

A wraparound veranda and an arch-top dormer window add to the exterior appeal of this single-level design. With its open living areas and flexible floor plan, the home would be ideal for either a growing family or for empty nesters. The den, just off the sky lit foyer, is particu-larly attractive, with a sloping ceiling, bay window and a view of the front garden. If the homeowners need a third bedroom, this room could easily serve that purpose. An archway off the hall leads to the open living area at the rear of the house, where the family will have plenty of space for all their daily activities. The kitchen is a delight, with a walk-in pantry and a central island, where the cook will be able to talk to other mem-bers of the family while preparing the meals. The dining room, which is large enough for entertaining, has a sloping ceiling and is designed to accommodate an optional buffet, if desired. On one side, a door opens to the veranda and at the rear, sliding glass doors offer access to a covered patio. The expansive great room also has a sloping ceiling, as well as a corner fireplace. Large windows make sure this whole area is bright with natural light. Double doors open to the master suite, which has a boxed-out window overlooking the back garden. A four-piece en suite bathroom includes a corner soaker tub and a separate shower. The second bedroom also has a boxed-out window and is located immediately alongside the main bathroom. The double garage has a side door and access to the house through the laundry room. The house is 48 feet wide and 51 feet, 6 inches deep with 1,399 square feet of living space.Plans for design 5-3-641 are available for $625 (set of 5), $710(set of 8) and $778 for a super set of 10.
