CUPE presents 10 per cent shift DANIKA M. HÉBERT Observer Reporter The Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) president, Barry O’Neill, was in Quesnel last week to present the 10 per cent shift concept at the Seniors’ Centre. The idea of the 10 per cent shift is to encourage consumers to shift 10 per cent of their spending toward local businesses instead of big corporations. O’Neill said this shift will help strengthen the local economy and it helps what he calls money “recycling.” Instead of your hard earned money going elsewhere, it would stay in the community to be used for local commodities.

This shift in spending can mean the difference between local businesses thriving instead of shutting down. It is said, purchasing local first will keep up to 70 per cent of that money spent

in the local economy. Another reason listed to shift 10 per cent of your spending toward local product is the impact on the environment. Purchasing goods produced locally reduces greatly transportation fees and excessive packaging. “We’re not saying this is a ‘buy local’ project and that you should buy local at any cost to you, or that you’re letting down ‘the team’ if you don’t,” the web page states. It encourages people sign up to be a part of the 10 per cent shift and get involved in the effort to keep money in the community. At Monday’s council meeting, several council members spoke to the information session. Coun. Laurey Anne Roodenburg attended the presentation and said she was impressed at how much of a difference a 10 per cent shift in spending could make. Another council member, Scott Elliott, also attended the CUPE presentation and said he’s already seeing an effort in Quesnel to keep spending as local as possible. “We go to the Farmers Market and to small businesses,” he said. “If you can keep it as local as possible, that’s better. “If you see a label saying a product is made in Canada and another which isn’t and there isn’t a big cost associated with buying the Canadian-made product, choose that one.” If you would like more information on the 10 per cent shift, visit the CUPE webpage, www. tenpercentshift.ca

Gold Pan seniors prepare to rally A group of seniors calling for improved health and residential care will rally at Quesnel’s G.R. Baker Memorial Hospital, 2 p.m., Friday. The fledgling group Voices for North Cariboo Seniors are prepared the take their protests to the street. The group’s president Peter Nielsen is leading the charge to alert elected officials at all levels of the growing wave of discontent over deteriorating hospital, residential and home care services in Quesnel. “Our group has held only three meetings, with growing attendances averaging more than 60 seniors and care-givers, and we’re ready to take our concerns to the next level,” Nielsen said.

“The meetings are providing much needed opportunities for seniors and caregivers to be heard as they vent their frustrations over cut backs, a steady erosion of health care services, misuse of health care resources and a general air of indifference on the part of most elected officials and much of the health care bureaucracy. “Our calls for the mayor to reinstate the city’s Health Advisory Committee have fallen on deaf ears and so we are taking action to call on elected officials at all levels to take notice of our plight. “At our last meeting things got pretty emotional as people came forward to tell their stories, including one woman who alleged that her

mother was killed by another patient in a local Northern Health residential care facility.” Nielsen commended Cariboo North independent MLA Bob Simpson and CRD area C director John Massier for their interest and active participation. Vice president Ron Paull has drafted a petition calling on elected officials from Premier Christy Clark down to Quesnel Mayor Mary Sjostrom to “take immediate and affirmative action to recognize and remedy the growing critical health care needs of deserving seniors in our community.” “We will launch our petition at Friday’s rally as we distribute pages for folks to circulate to their friends, families and

Godwin still at large A Quesnel man is still evading RCMP. Arrest warrants were issued for 28-year-old, Calvin Dean Godwin of Quesnel last month. Godwin is currently wanted for break and enter and theft, theft, possession of stolen property and failing to comply with conditions. Godwin is described as a Native male, approximately 5’8”, approximately 165 pounds with short brown hair and brown eyes.

Nielsen encourages anyone who is concerned about health and residential care to meet in the north parking lot of Robin’s Donuts before 2 p.m., Aug. 3. “I expect this to be the first of a series of protest rallies leading up to next year’s provincial election, and that Quesnel is on the leading edge of a growing uprising of discontent over the sad state of seniors’ health and residential care in British Columbia,” Nielsen said. – submitted by Ron Paull

Seniors invited to sign up for trek to Barkerville Quesnel and area seniors are invited to sign up for the Quesnel Rotary Club’s annual Seniors’ Trek to Barkerville slated for Aug. 27. Tour organizer Ron Paull reports that sign up sheets will be available at the Quesnel Seniors’ Centre, the Golden Centre and the Royal Canadian Legion from noon Aug. 6 until all 112 seats on two charter buses are spoken for, on a first come, first served basis. Following an hour of fun and fellowship on the Cariboo Waggon Road, including a brief coffee stop at Cottonwood House, the entourage will be treated to lunch in Barkerville and admission to the famed Theatre Royal show. After the show, they will have time to enjoy tea and sweets in Barkerville’s restaurants while poking about the shops and displays. Of course, the usual loaf of sourdough bread from Goldfields Bakery will be high on many a shopper’s list. The day will be capped off with the annual group photo in front of St. Savior’s church. Buses are scheduled to arrive back in the Gold Pan City around 4:30 p.m. Quesnel Rotary club president Dr. Keith Corbett is hoping to accompany the seniors on their outing. “Our club has been hosting the Seniors’ Trek to Barkerville for many years and this is a great way for us to recognize and honour the contributions our seniors have made to the betterment of our community,” he said. Paull said the Seniors’ Trek to Barkerville is the most enjoyable and rewarding aspect of his Rotary service. He encourages local seniors 65 and older who wish to participate in the trip to sign up as soon as the sign up sheets are available on Aug. 6. “Even though we face reduced funding, our club is committed to continuing this annual outing for our seniors. “Our charity fundraising pays most of the bills for the outing, but Gold Pan City Stage Lines, Cottonwood House, Barkerville Town, Barkerville restaurants and Theatre Royal all give us a break, which we truly appreciate” Paull said. Paull can be contacted at 250-992-8994. -Submitted by Ron Paull

Are you really busy? Do you eat properly? Or do you have a health challenge and need more nutrients in your diet. Choosing a multi vitamin that has all your daily nutrient requirements can be confusing and not all are created equal. There are many variables when choosing a good multi vitamin, mineral complex and dosages should be adjusted accordingly. A person’s size and weight, amount of activity or if you are an athlete, what your diet and sleep patterns are like, do you smoke, drink or are do you have high stress, are you on a restricted diet or taking pharmaceutical drugs every day. Knowing your body and understanding what your everyday needs are will help with choosing the right supplements for you as a female or male. Starting off on the right foot will always be to eat a healthy, live whole food diet. There is nothing like good food for the body to heal and repair and is vital for energy sources. Natural sources of high quality or a multi strain probiotic helps with many digestive and stomach related issues and will balance the body if constipation or diarrhea is an issue. Fermented foods (sauerkraut, tempeh, apple cider vinegar with the mother) or naturally cultured bacteria in a good quality yogurt or kefir are great food choices. If you are taking any medications daily there are some that rob the body of some valuable vitamins and minerals and you want to know what those are so you can replenish either with food or a supplement so the body does not go into a deficit or shortage. Choose a company that has good manufacturing practices that uses quality food or clean uncompromising animal sources. The wholesome goodness of and essential fatty acid such a omega 3-6-9 are good for inflammation, lubrication, lowering cholesterol and many other health promoting aspects. Raw, whole food, natural, no buffers or fillers free from synthetics or preservatives are always good choices. Companies that have a long term history or smaller family operations who do their homework with quality testing in place are always a little more money but worth it when you are putting it in your body. A qualified or knowledgeable health practitioner is always a good person to ask questions and get advice from and it’s always good to know that you can do it, Naturally!

Plant management team on weed look out Are you seeing orange? It’s that time of year again. Roadways, lawns and pastures throughout the Cariboo Chilcotin have turned a bright shade of orange due to blooming orange hawkweed. Hawkweed was alleged to be introduced to North America from its native home in Europe. The ancient Greeks believed it gave the hawks that fed on it keen eyesight. The colour of this plant’s flower is what makes it stand out from every other plant. They are brilliant red-orange colours that grow in clusters at the top of leafless stems. The entire stem and leaves are covered in small, stiff, black hairs. Orange hawkweed has the ability to establish quickly by seed, above ground stems (stolons) and below ground stems (rhizomes); allowing it to form dense patches that displace native vegetation. Each flowering stem can be self-pollinated and may produce several hundred seeds. These seeds are spread by wind, water and human activities. Once the seeds have sprouted, hawkweed spreads rapidly by the above ground stems which produce new plants that form a dense mat of rosettes. Early detection of these plants is critical.

Cariboo Regional District are asking residents to take note of the bright orange weed. Contribute photo

Once they form a large colony in an area, they can be extremely difficult to control. Mechanical control of this plant is limited. Small patches can be dug up, making sure all parts of the root are removed. The smallest fragment left behind can sprout a new plant therefore, repetition of this method may be necessary for the following years. Mowing of this plant may stop seed production, but

strongly encourages vegetative growth, and is not advised. Fertilization with a blend that contains higher amounts of sulphur or nitrogen has proven effective if the infestation is sparse to moderate. Hawkweed tends to prefer soils that are deficient in both nitrogen and sulphur. Fertilization in general promotes a healthy desirable plant community that will resist invasive plant invasion. If the infestation is

large and quite dense, the judicial use of herbicides can effectively control hawkweed. Look for herbicides containing active ingredients including Picloram, 2-4-D, Dicamba, Aminopyralid, or Clopyralid, but always remember to read the label before using and always follow the instructions for application. If you have any questions or concerns about orange hawkweed or need

Barkerville school program welcomed more than 1,000 children during its sesquicentennial season An inaugural donation towards Barkerville’s Educational Programming: K-12 School Students had more than a thousand children from 32 British Columbia schools singing the praises of the RBC Foundation in the early months of the historic town’s 150th anniversary season. Students and teachers alike have experienced Barkerville’s exceptional history for decades through the National Historic Site’s award-winning, curriculumbased interpretive School Program. Thanks to the RBC

Foundation’s recent gift, Barkerville’s sesquicentennial season launched to much additional fanfare and much needed supplies, in May of 2012. “At RBC, we believe interactive education programs help bring excitement into learning and compliment school programming,” Quesnel Branch Manager Norman Cooper said. “RBC is proud to support programs such as Barkerville’s School Program, an offering that provides students with a unique opportunity to ‘go

back in time.’” Barkerville used the RBC Foundation funds to help facilitate the comprehensive schedule for children who participated in the 2012 School Program, as well as purchase materials and supplies required for the implementation of fullyimmersive, educational experiences. “We are particularly pleased to have the RBC Foundation as a donor during our 150th anniversary year,” Barkerville’s chief executive officer, Judy Campbell said. “RBC has always been a great community

supporter and we hope this relationship will benefit us both for years to come.” The Barkerville School Program runs from midMay to late-June of every year. The program includes seven core elements: Early Justice, the William’s Creek Schoolhouse, Chinese Schoolhouse, Chinatown Tour, Wendle House, Blacksmith and Mining in Barkerville. For additional information about Barkerville’s School Program, contact Mooring at 1-888-994-3332, ext. 29, or email judy.mooring@ barkerville.ca.

CAPSULE COMMENTS with Lee-Anne Williams B.Sc. (Pharm)

Pharmacists are asked questions about new treatments for Alzheimer’s disease (AD). The use of coconut oil to improve AD symptoms is one of those questions. So far the evidence is minimal but some people are willing to try it. Remember that one tablespoonful of coconut oil contains 120 calories and 12 grams of saturated fat. It’s good to tell your doctor you are doing this. The anticoagulant, warfarin, (popularly known as a “blood thinner”), has many drug and food interactions. For example, leafy green vegetables contain vitamin K which can work against the warfarin. However, this doesn’t mean you should cut these foods out of your diet totally. Just be consistent with the amount you consume daily and your warfarin dose will be adjusted accordingly. When do you stop taking a prescription medication? It is always best to consult your doctor about whether it’s OK to discontinue a drug. It can be dangerous to stop “cold turkey”. Our pharmacists can supply some guidance on this subject. Our job as your pharmacist is to ensure you get the most out of your medication. Understanding your medications is the key. We can help you with this.

OPINIONS Relax and enjoy

he sixth Olympic ring is schadenfreude. In the days and weeks leading up to last Friday’s opening ceremonies for the 2012 Summer Games in London, the international media were gleefully chronicling the myriad of gaffes and shortcomings that have organizers scrambling and issuing statements of reassurance that all will be well. First it was the weather, cold and rainy then suddenly so hot power lines for a new rail service to the Olympic stadium were melting, resulting in delays and shutdowns. Ah yes, transportation, the eternal Achilles heel of every modern Olympics; if it’s not cabbies protesting on the Tower Bridge, it’s everyday commuters fretting through gridlock to allow Olympic officials free passage along exclusive traffic lanes. There are worries about security, as the private company contracted to make the Games safe underestimated the magnitude of the job, necessitating the deployment of the military. Customs agents are threatening to strike. And nobody is sure how much it will all cost in the end. Sound familiar? Two years ago we were sweating many of those very same issues in the days preceding Vancouver’s Winter Olympics. And no one was more vocal in their criticism than the British media; one paper even girded their readers for “the worst Games ever.” But all of the problems were forgotten as soon as Wayne Gretzky lit the Olympic cauldron at Jack Poole Plaza. Just as they likely were when the torch was set ablaze in London. And we’ll all settle in for two weeks of dazzling athletic competition, compelling human interest stories and national pride. We’ll cheer everyone in red and white, but especially our local heroes. –Autumn MacDonald, Observer

Blood, it’s in you to give O

n Saturday I saw one of my best friends. It wasn’t the typical visit of wine and movies on the couch. Instead, we sat on her kingsized bed and talked quietly about how lucky she was. The day before, my friend was in a multi-vehicle crash on Highway 1 in Abbotsford. You may have seen it on the news, or read it in Tuesday’s Progress, or online. There were at least eight vehicles involved. She was the one extricated from her black Hyundai Accent after it was lodged under a dump truck. Miraculously, she survived with no broken bones and was released from hospital the next day. She did, however, receive three large lacerations to the back of head and lost four units of blood — nearly half the amount that’s in an adult human body. I found it strange that she wasn’t given blood at the hospital after losing so much, but the doctors told her she was healthy enough that her body could make new blood without much of a problem. I’m also a healthy person and I too can make new blood without a problem.

Mind you, I’ve never had to replenish four units of blood before, but I have lost one whole unit of blood before. Twenty-five times. See, I’m a blood donor. Recently I donated my 25th unit of blood — and afterwards while there I drank my 25th cup of tea and ate my 25th packet of cookies (because cookies and juice just don’t go well together, it has to be tea and cookies). I was quite proud of myself that day. Geeky as it may sound, for a long time I was looking forward to receiving the small teardrop-shaped pin that us twenty-fivers get — a simple red pin with “25” on it. And I was pleasantly surprised to open a letter a few weeks later to find a sparkly ‘bronze’ donor card with my name on it. I like to think of that card as something similar to a fancy platinum MasterCard that I can flash at people to show them how important I think I am. But my 25th donation is nothing compared to many others. Imagine donating 50 or 100 times. My dear friend and former coworker, Penny Lett, told

blood, ask you questions and walk with you over to the cookie station will thank you for coming in that day. Guaranteed. I know many people who can’t donate blood for various reasons — they’ve lived in, or visited, foreign countries that are on the no-go list, they have medical issues, or (sad and discriminatory as it may be) they’re a homosexual male. Someone I know won’t donate specifically because of the latter reason. I respect her choice, and I don’t agree with that restriction by Canadian Blood Services either, but I still donate and I do it for several reasons. I donate because I know there is always a need for blood. I donate because I know my blood will in fact be used, never wasted. I donate blood because I want to. But to me, the number one reason you should donate blood is if you’re eligible. The number two reason is for the free cookies. If you are eligible, think about it. You could save many people’s lives.

In fact, it was Penny who encouraged me to make my first donation about 10 years ago. I thought about it for a while, asking myself “why should I donate blood?” Have I ever been a recipient of donated blood before? No. Has there ever been someone close to me who suddenly needed a blood donation? No. Was it because there was a sudden shortage of donated blood in Canada? No. I decided to do it because I can. Simple as that. Because I am eligible to donate blood. I don’t know how many people I’ve helped by donating blood, but I do know that the process (about an hour to an hour and a half of answering questions, being tested, and waiting) is not that painful. Heck, even the needle isn’t that bad. And to make it more pleasant, every single person who is there to take your

FEEDBACK Enough is enough Editor: A male councillor, a female community person (partner, wife of a councillor) and now another community person. This attacking our city’s mayor has gone beyond a “saga”, it’s become a “comic book” and all you are accomplishing is making yourselves and Quesnel look childish and ridiculous. Accusations of “he said” “she said” and your personal feelings are cruel and unjust. As a community, we all have the opportunity to vote. Obviously Quesnel’s mayor had such support as she was voted in not once, but twice. Others in our community were also in the race for mayor – they did not have the support or the votes as I don’t see them sitting in the mayor’s chair. Simple solution to the ugly situation: lay out your proof of illegal wrongdoing and ask for or demand a resignation. If you do not have any concrete proof, shut up and wait for the next voting period. Put these excessive energies into something helpful, useful and much needed in Quesnel: a dialysis unit, which would service many kidney patients in our community who are finding themselves less and less able to travel the highway to Prince George for their weekly dialysis treatments. Have a nice day, Carol Sawry Quesnel

Great service Editor: When you walk into this store, it feels like you’re walking into a family reunion, everyone knows you, everyone greets you, at least us ole timers who have been using Willis Harper most of our life feel this way. Maybe the young ones or the newcomers to town just don’t realize, sox here’s my friendly reminder to them. I’ve known for many years, so why do I keep forgetting, if I can’t find it anywhere, go to Willis Harper, I know I’ll find it there. I think it’s computerized in our brains that all the big chain stores carry everything, not so. Have been searching for a set of salt water pearls, double or triple strand, not to be found in town and I thought I would have to finally go out of town. Guess what, there they were waiting for me in that oh so wonderful gift department at my favourite store in town. Yes, Willis Harper. The simple fact applies to all the store’s departments, not just the gift department. What you are frantically searching for is in that store, either upstairs or downstairs on in a back corner shelf, but you can bet, Marvin or Bruce, if you ask them, know exactly where it is. No, I am not a paid employee, just a very happy customer. Carol Sawry Quesnel

Celebrating 25 years

ANNIE GALLANT Observer Reporter

engarry Professional Services Ltd. is 25 years old this year. From it’s humble beginnings in a renovated garage with just one phone line, the company has grown, not only in its Quesnel operation, but also in its expansion to seven other communities in the province. However, it purpose and mission have remained the same. Dengarry provides residential life skill, therapeutic recreation and employment support to adults with intellectual disabilities. Garry and Carolyn Delaney and Dennis and Elizabeth Beeman, all with backgrounds in the medical and social service fields, started the company in April, 1987 with 15 employees and just seven individuals receiving services that first month. The company initially responded to a contract tender by the Ministry of Social Services (now called Community Living B.C.) to provide residential services for adults with intellectual disabilities in the Quesnel area. Dengarry’s primary mission has always been to provide the quality community-based services necessary for each individual to live a happy and meaningful life. Initially, Dengarry offered community group housing, day programming and some supported living. Over the years, the company has expanded services to meet demand as some individuals require significant support in their dayto-day life, where others only require a few hours of assistance a week in order to live independently. This wide scope of services in Quesnel includes supportive living (up to 24 hours a day); cluster living where people reside in close proximity to each other so staff can provide individual life skill assistance throughout the day; home sharing where caregivers are contracted to provide live-in support in either their own home or the person’s residence; customized employment where people learn work-readiness skills; and community inclusion to support people in accessing therapeutic recreation as well as vocational and volunteer pursuits. In 2008, Dengarry experienced a service redesign and expansion to better serve their clients. “The vision of our service redesign back in 2008 needs to be largely credited to the support of Community Living B.C. When first approached with the idea of home sharing for a few

individuals in our group home back in late 2007, we were somewhat skeptical, actually almost resistant,” Denton Delaney, Dengarry president said. “With the support of David O’Toole and Wendy Framst of CLBC, we could envision how the lives of these individuals could improve and proceeded with a new service delivery model for our agency. “With a lot of hard work and learning and the support of the individuals, their families and Dengarry staff, we had our first two home share providers start services in May 2008. The changes/improvements we have seen in these individual’s lives and the home share provider’s lives are indescribable. I could literally go on for hours about the amazing and exciting growth accomplished over the last 3 – 4 years. We have been fortunate to work with many families who showed great patience and trust when we suggested home sharing as a option for residential support.” He went on to say the expansion to different communities started in March 2009. “There was a lot to learn and challenges we did not predict,” Delaney said. “At times mistakes were made and we have done our best to learn from them. I think this experience has made us better

overall. “I can’t thank enough the individuals receiving services, their families and the team leaders/home share coordinators, support staff and home share providers. We would not have been able to provide 25 years of quality services without all of you.” The demands of this expansion ultimately brought Dengarry to it’s present location at 391 Johnston Avenue, across from the Ministry of Forests. With offices in eight communities, the company serves 116 individuals with 82 employees and 51 subcontractors across the province. However, Quesnel remains the home of Dengarry operations. Of the original staff, one member has been with Dengarry for the entire 25 years – Barb Crannis. “It amazes me that 25 years has passed since my first shift at Dengarry,” she said. “In that time, I married, raised a family and pursued personal and educational goals as well. I think of how accommodating this company has been to myself and others to allow us to meet the changing needs of our families. In this way, Dengarry is like a family and I feel so fortunate to have been given this opportunity when I was hired by Garry all those years ago.” Over time Crannis has seen the

company grow and improve and has seen this reflected in the service the company provides. “There have been times when I’ve thought of moving on and trying something new, but I believe in what we do here. I recognized it’s rare to find a combination of a career that gives you purpose and an employer who values you. It has not always been smooth, but what long term relationship is? It’s been a relief to see that even though Dengarry has tripled in size over the past few years, the values have remained constant. I think this is a testament to the leadership Denny has provided since becoming president five years ago. He has taken his parents company and expanded the vision beyond Quesnel, while staying true to the core mission. “Twenty-five years of seeing the growth and improvements in the quality of life for people fills me with pride.” Delaney said Dengarry is proud they have an original staff member of 25 years. “It’s employees like Barb Crannis that have made our company and the services we provide a success” he said. Delaney said the company has greatly benefited from excellent community partnerships as well. School District 28 is one such partner with customized employment in the old Maple Drive school. This program has successfully transitioned some students turning 19 from high school into the work force. Quesnel Employment Services offers a new initiative through Work B.C. where a Dengarry employment counselor provides services to adults with barriers to employment within the Work B.C. office. Prima Resources and Quesnel Community Living Association also provide supports to adults with intellectual disabilities in Quesnel, allowing Dengarry and these agencies to work together to meet multiple needs of individuals. Quesnel Mental Health, including the Q.U.E.S.S.T. Unit have provided invaluable resources to people who also have a mental illness so they can live in the community. Dengarry also provides numerous practicum placements for students at College of New Caledonia and UNBC. Over the years many students have become employees. “Thank you Quesnel for 25 years of cooperation, acceptance and providing an envirionment where people have the opportunity to learn, grow and thrive,” Delaney concluded.

TRAVEL

Trip of a lifetime Recently a group of 35 students from QJS and CSS and 14 adults from Quesnel enjoyed an educational tour through Greece and Italy. Highlights included visits to the Acropolis in Athens, Mount Etna in Sicily, the Coliseum in Rome, the statue of David in Florence and the Grand Canal in Venice. The group also visited two World War Two cemeteries, one in Agira, Sicily and the other in Assassi. In Assissi, Rick Ezowski and Cory Hart, below, laid a City of Quesnel pin at the grave of Robert Low Foreman, a Quesnel man who died in action there in April, 1945. The group would like to thank everyone who bought flowers, pies or raffle tickets which helped with the fundraising efforts. Contributed photos

Strawberry Tea a great success, thanks

ong overdue but thank you seniors for making the Canada Day Strawberry Tea in LeBourdais Park a real success. For many it was more than a tea although eating seems to be a favourite pastime. But it was an opportunity to socialize with one another, connect with friends we hadn’t seen for a while and make new friends. Many thanks too for the volunteers, hosts and hostesses, candidates for Miss Quesnel and Quesnel Royalty, Honey Affleck, Sandy Brunt and the City of Quesnel, Quesnel Bakery, Safeway, Save-On Foods, Walmart, Quesnel Seniors Centre for contributions and to Susan MacNeill for all her hard work. But without you seniors, all the planning and preparation would have been for nought. I never did get around to telling the executive of the OAPO branch 77 how much the volunteers appreciated the bus trip and lunch at Cottonwood House on June 21. It was a beautiful day and we enjoyed it so much. Some took a wagon ride pulled by a team

She was a guest at Vernon Noeth’s home, a former teacher and one of their friends who drops in during the summer. It just doesn’t happen that often. While both the Golden Centre and the Seniors Centre have cut back many of their activities for the summer both centres welcome people to drop in for cards. At the Voices for North Cariboo Seniors meeting, July 26, progress is being made toward a solution for much needed affordable housing. There will be more about this later. There will be a rally at 2 p.m., Aug 3 in front of the hospital for all those who are concerned about health care in our community. A petition

on Health Care is being drawn up to be delivered to city and provincial officials who could make a difference. There were stories of abuse and neglect to those in care and a strong feeling to recognize and remedy these needs in general for the well being of seniors. One suggestion from the floor is that we visit those in extended care on a regular basis and not just leave it to family members if they have family here. He added we can make a change by visiting and helping out. It could be somewhat like seniors adopting seniors. The next meeting of VNCS will be at 2 p.m. Aug. 16 in the Royal Canadian Legion. Ruth Scoullar is a seniors’ advocate and regular Observer contributor.

All Roads Lead to Wells The Quesnel Museum will be hosting author Susan Safyan as part of their Heritage Speakers Series, Aug. 9, 7 p.m. The presentation takes place in the council chambers at Quesnel City Hall. Susan Safyan will be reading from her new book, All Roads Lead to Wells: Stories of the Hippie Days. In the late 1960s and early 1970s a small group of idealistic young women and men, self-described as “volunteer peasants,” moved to the tiny town of Wells, B.C. These hippies brought with them a Canadian version of the continent-wide back-to-the-land movement, the sexual revolution and the privilege of personal freedom. Safyan will recount the stories of these young settlers and their migration, their values, the unexpected friendships forged

and lived there until 1985. She returns to visit her friends in Wells every year and has dedicated herself to collecting and preserving their stories. Books will be for sale and Susan will be happy to sign copies. Admission is by donation.

Motherwell visits his father’s Scottish home Interesting to note that which changes and that which stays the same H

ow far we have come in improving our world over the past 109 years from when the first car appeared at Rawyards House on Motherwell Road near Airdrie, Scotland. The left photo is of a 1903 Albion, steered by a long level, with two levers to engage the gears, acetylene lights when night settled in and solid rubber tyres rolled you home. You’ll notice many features in this transition from the horse and buggy to a self-propelled car. The driver sat in the middle and a padded cushion Andy Motherwell Historical Footnotes accommodated the passengers who had padded arm rests for security and faced backwards. No bumpers on these cars, perhaps because colliding just didn’t register. A garden tractor these days has as much horsepower as this vehicle. It’s interesting to notice the power these days is still stated in horse power. The second car at Rawyards was also an Albion and look at the improvements – a horn on the steering wheel, curtains to shed the rain, a chain drive to the rear wheels, a tool chest where running boards later appeared and a windshield curved for high speed. Now the cars are gone, the land of the estate filled with houses and Rawyards House is a home for seniors. I signed the register and we lunched there among the folks as the place where my dad was born carries on in its new role with an original stained glass window in place for more than 100 years. Andy Motherwell is an amateur historian and regular Observer columnist.

erry (Lonesome Butte) Barrett stands alone, a six-shooter on each hip, his hat brim pulled low to ward off the sun’s glare. He rubs his thumb along his mustache, pushing his grey whiskers off his lips, adjusts the bandana around his neck and puts a hand on each of his guns. “The cure for a philistine is hot lead,” he announces and draws both guns firing down range at the offending targets. (Butte) wasn’t alone in his attack on all manner of tin targets on Saturday, July 29. The Rope Burn City Bounty Collectors posse showed up at the Quesnel Shooting Range with chips on their shoulder

and lead in their guns. And when the smoke cleared and the target hits counted, the posse rode into the sunset with victory tied to their gun belts. This win came courtesy of single action revolvers, carbines and shotguns. The same guns you might remember from a youth spent with John Wayne, Clint Eastwood and Sergio Leonne. These are the guns your heroes shot with their right hand, while fanning the hammer with their left, the kind that spit fire and black smoke with the theatricality of a dragon.These are the guns of Hollywood’s, and by extension that of childhood, dreams. With these guns of modern myth, the shooters challenged feral fowl, philistines with no knowledge of poetry and warded off an unknown threat

on the way to the outhouse. Part theatre and part shooting competition, the annual cowboy action shoot spread over three days of ‘scenarios’ that had competitors reciting poetry – saying their lines before bringing the fire. After the lines were said and the targets were stared down with flinty eye, the shooters let loose in a timed shoot out that had them emptying both pistols, a fully loaded carbine and shooting off six rounds in a double barrel shotgun. Both time and aim were taken into account to score the shooter, as everyone knows a cowboy with a slow hand and bad aim won’t live long on the wide-open prairies. Spotters counted misses, while an electronic timing device kept track of how long it took to

skin their iron and unload their guns. But the day was as much about the milieu surrounding the actual shooting as it was about getting the best time. The theatricality of the day was not simply in the recitation and scenarios set up for the participants. The day called for complete immersion into the wild, wild west. Eastwood could never have been blondie, John Wayne could never have been The Duke wearing a hoodie and jeans, likewise this posse, knowing what they were doing, showed up ready to put the fear into each target. Replete in vests, hats, cowboy boots and .45s slung low on their hips, the posse wouldn’t have been out of place drifting along high plains with only tumbleweed

for company. Like those heroes, each shooter went not by his own name, but by a pseudonym registered with the single action shooter society, of which they are a part. Thus, when the participants made their way to the shooting range it was (PJ Hardtack), (Inky Fingers), (Dead Man’s Hand) and others with equally sinister names who stood shoulder to shoulder to gun down the offending targets and chow down on that cowboy staple, chili and biscuits, at high noon. The competition is part of a worldwide association that sets up shoots across the globe for aficionados of the American west. For more information email cas@quesnelrodandgun.ca.

SPORTS

Mid-Summer Fun on the horseshoe pitch JONAS GAGNON Observer Reporter Not everyone was mixing it up with rodeos and concerts in the park during Billy Barker Days. The Horseshoe Club was, instead, doing what they do best, trying to get that horseshoe round the post. The two-day tournament was spread over the weekend, July 21-22. On Saturday, local Lorenzo Ferrara took the top honours in the Men’s ‘D’ with three wins and nary a loss. Esko Karlson, down from Prince George, took second with a win and two losses. Local Phil Erickson followed in third with the same record, with Dave Dunlop, also from Quesnel, taking fourth with the same record. In the men’s ‘B’, Joe Brietkopf took first. In ladies ‘B’, Helene Boudreau was lonely at the top, winning all three of her games. It was a similar story in the ladies ‘D’, where Benita Karlson, making the trip from P.G., went without a loss over all three of her games as well. In the junior girls division Ameryllis Braun, also from P.G., took first. The senior men’s division was hotly contested over four games. Ferrara turned out to be unstoppable on Saturday, taking first in the senior men’s division, garnering only one loss. Erickson topped Karlson to take third with

a two-two record, while Karlson took third with a one-three record. In the senior women’s, Boudreau once again took top spot, steamrolling her opponents, winning all of her matches. Maureen Braun, from P.G., took second spot with one win and three losses, followed by Joyce Hamel, from Quesnel, with the same record. On Sunday, the tournament continued with Hamel taking first in the ladies ‘C’ division. In the mixed ‘A’, Elmer Braun came out on top, winning four games and not losing one. Boudreau came in second with an even win-loss record of two apiece. In the men’s ‘C’, Brietkopf took first, winning five of his games and losing only once. Ferrara took second with an equal three win, three loss record. Erickson followed with the same record. In the men’s ‘E’ Dave Dunlop, from Quesnel, came out on top over Ray Hamel, the former winning all three games against the latter. Maureen Braun didn’t lose once in the senior’s mixed category, taking first over Boudreau, who had an even 2-2 record. Karlson came in third. Once again without a loss, Ferrara took the top spot in the men’s ‘A’. Esko Karlson took second with two wins and a loss, followed by Brietkopf with one win and two losses.

For the record Micaiah Gordon won the junior steer riding in the Quesnel Rodeo. Also The Gold Pain City Derby Girls played the Tournament City Derby Dolls’ Rookies from Kamloops at the Gold Rush Rumble, the final score at 71-65.

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, it's difficult when you feel like you're being pulled in too many directions. This may require sitting down and making a priority list to get started. GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 Don't try to mask your emotions this week, Gemini. It is OK if others see the truth about how you feel. Let others explore the honesty in your expression and actions. CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, if you haven't done so already, plan a trip to somewhere for a respite from the grind. Try to book something that is outside of your comfort zone. LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, your energy is infectious and many people notice how well you keep going when others will simply tire out. You'll need that energy for work this week, too. VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, a big opportunity comes your way that you shouldn't pass up. Resist the urge to point out all of the negatives and focus only on the positives for the time being. LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23 There's more than meets the eye to a particular situation, but you seem biased, Libra. Consider all sides of the situation before you decide which side you're on. SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22 It's finally time for you to relax, Scorpio. After weeks of running here and there, you now have the opportunity to simply kick up your feet and enjoy yourself. SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21 What you may view as some innocent comments could be viewed much differently from someone else, Sagittarius. It's better to censor yourself when you can. CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20 There is no easy way around the work you have to get done, Capricorn, but there are plenty of helpers who may be able to pitch in and lend a hand. AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 Stop looking to others for solutions to your problems, Aquarius. The only one who is qualified to handle them is you and possibly a spouse or romantic partner. PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, this week you feel like you're walking around on a cloud. But you know well you have everything handled.
