Extreme temperatures at Fraser Village a tricky fix DANIKA M. HÉBERT Observer Reporter Fraser Village tenants are close to tears over extreme temperature swings in their suites. Norma Malic, a tenant at Fraser Village, has written a letter speaking out against the new heating and cooling system. Malic said temperatures at Fraser Village have been inconsistent and prompted many residents to have erratic service in their suites. “We received a grant, which was used to install a new heating and cooling system,” Malic said. When the grant was received and the new system installed, Malic said residents were asked to dispose of their individual air conditioning systems, as they would not be allowed. “Now [the residents] are almost in tears because of the heat in their units,” Malic said in her letter. Although this has been an ongoing issue, Malic said she’s worried the winter months will be especially difficult, since there still hasn’t been any action to rectifying the situation. The temperature has been so low on some days, tenants had to wear sweaters and members of the Fraser Village Society were unable to make arrangements for the repair of the system. “I blame myself,” society member Peter Nielsen said. “But the society has their hands tied.” The companies who installed and maintain the system are based in Vancouver, leaving the Fraser Village Society at a loss to take quick action. “Although the society got the grant to do this, the hiring of contractors and distribution of the monies was looked after by BC Housing, who gave the contracts
to all out-of-town contractors, thereby leaving us with no local recourse,” Malic said in the letter. The temperature in the Fraser Village has gone from 70 degrees Fahrenheit (21 degrees Celsius) to 86 degrees Fahrenheit (30 degrees Celsius). Although many tenants were asked to remove their personal air conditioning systems, many have now reinstalled them and Malic said there hasn’t been any trouble. Malic explained the installers also cut part of the suites’ doors off the bottom to help air circulate, but that’s also been causing problems. “When the system was installed, the installers said this would help circulate the air when the system was working,” Malic explained. But since the system isn’t functional, when the temperature dips, residents who have space heaters in their suites are losing the heat. Malic said action wasn’t taken immediately because many tenants didn’t want to speak up and ask for help. “Seniors will often just accept what’s going on and won’t necessarily complain if something’s wrong,” she said. Malic and Nielsen are hoping the new system will be fully functional before the winter, as many seniors have been leaving their ovens on for heat, which isn’t safe. “That’s just asking for an accident,” Nielsen said, adding the varying extreme temperatures could also lead to illnesses. “The seniors are already at risk for getting sick, these temperatures are going to put someone in the hospital.” The system is currently under repair.

One Quesnel man is in critical condition after a single vehicle crash. Shortly after 3 a.m. Saturday Quesnel RCMP, BC Ambulance Services and Highway Rescue were called to the scene of a single vehicle crash on Highway 97 near Ahbau Creek – north of Quesnel. The SUV was traveling northbound on Highway 97 near Ahbua Creek when it left the roadway after failing to negotiate a curve. Emergency responders arrived to find the 21-year-old driver pinned underneath the vehicle. The male was extracted by Highway Rescue personnel and transferred to Quesnel’s GR Baker Hospital before being transported by air ambulance. He remains in critical condition. His 20-year-old passenger was treated at GR Baker for non-life threatening injuries and later released. The cause of this crash remains under investigation.

Seatbelts save lives A three vehicle collision saw minor injuries, thanks in large part to buckling up. Shortly after 5 p.m. Aug. 8, Quesnel RCMP were called to the scene of a three vehicle collision on Highway 97 south near Alexandria School Road – north of McLeese Lake. Investigation determined that a semi-truck and trailer travelling southbound crossed the centre line colliding with a northbound vehicle and causing it to hit another northbound vehicle. All three vehicles ended up in the northbound ditch. Fortunately, all three vehicle’s occupants were wearing their seatbelts and no one sustained significant injuries. Police issued a violation ticket under the Motor Vehicle Act to the driver of the semi truck. “This is a classic example of the life saving role seatbelts play in major collisions. There is no doubt that the use of seatbelts was key in preventing injuries in this crash,” media spokesperson for the Quesnel RCMP, Cst. Krista Vrolyk said.

CAPSULE COMMENTS with Lee-Anne Williams B.Sc. (Pharm)
There are hundreds of thousands of “apps”, programs for smart phones and electronic tablets. There is even one available for gambling addicts. Gambling addiction is a mental health problem and only 10% of those with a gambling problem seek help. The app is called Mobile Monitor Your Gambling and Urges (MYGU) and is downloadable for free from iTunes. Many of the drugs we use today originated from nature. It’s always interesting when a common product like thyme, formulated into a tincture, is found to have antibacterial effects that may make it useful in treating acne. It’s far from being available on our shelves for that purpose but it does show promise. Antibiotics have saved millions of lives since the discovery of penicillin in the 1940s. In 1900, the three main causes of death were tuberculosis, pneumonia and enteritis (intestinal infections). Antibiotics have reduced the threat of these medical problems immensely. When you receive an antibiotic prescription, our pharmacists will ensure you know how to make it work best for you. We help you understand how it works for you.

RUNNIN RUNNING G Shoes Hartley sets her sights on turtles
NEWS
Check out our
Come in for a personalized fitting today. Website
Molly Hartley, a student at Carson elementary school, was on-line this spring checking out a website she had heard about, Earth Rangers.com. Earth Rangers invites the public to sign up to raise money to protect endangered species across Canada. Molly was very excited at the idea of helping to save an animal and chose to concentrate her efforts on the spotted turtle. The spotted turtle is native to Ontario and its numbers are decreasing due to poachers and construction, which destroys its’ natural habitat. Fund raising dollars for the Spotted Turtle will, in part, go to creating an inventory of the animals and applying for a designation to provincially protect their habitat. Eastmond’s Bakery was kind enough to help Molly with her fundraising. The shop has been making and selling candy turtles, with all proceeds going toward Molly’s Earth Rangers fund. To date, Molly has raised more than $150 with the sale of turtles. Her goal is $500 by the end of August and she’s well on her way to meeting that goal through private donations, bottle collecting and money from her own piggy bank. Molly urges those wanting to help out and satisfy that sweet tooth to check out Eastmond’s Facebook page at Eastmonds Bake Shoppe or call 250-747-0015. And for those with a peanut allergy, no problem, Molly has a good friend with a peanut allergy, so she asked Shelley to make a peanut free turtle. Regular turtles – caramel, chocolate and pecans or peanut free with caramel, chocolate and pretzels are six for $5.50 or 12 for $11.

Balancing Electrolytes and Avoiding Dehydration Whether you are an elite athlete dedicated to weekly work outs, enjoy working in your garden or like playing in the summer’s sun, staying hydrated and balancing fluids in our physical body is very important. Maintaining a concentration of electrolytes is essential to normal functioning cells and tissues, nerve function, hydration of skin, muscle coordination, heart function and fluid absorption. The fact is, we are roughly 75% - 80% water and our physical well being is very much dependent on the balance of organic and inorganic compounds. The charge from electrolytes will balance pH and ionic concentrations help to maintain the integrity and permeability of cells. Electrolytes will also keep the fluids that are transferred to the cells regulated and ensure the even solute (substance to solvent) concentration. We can lose balance of these vital minerals from sweating, illness, medications, stress, diarrhea, sun exposure, exercising, poor nutrition or lack of water to name a few. The consequences when you are depleted can range from relatively mild such as headache, dry skin, lethargic, mood swings to extreme or severe such as confusion, infection, fainting, cramping (spasms), seizures, swelling of the brain and or coma. Where and how to get a balance of electrolytes? Certainly not from the over priced sugary or high sodium food coloured sports drinks. Start with what you have in your fridge and cupboards. Most fruits and vegetables are nutrient rich and choosing good organic sources or produce from local farmers or grown in the region are the best choices. Nuts and seeds are high in minerals and opt for those that are not processed and raw. Beans such as mung, lima, white, pinto and red prepared by soaking (for easier digestion) and do not over cook for optimal nutritious value. Dark leafy greens, spinach in particular has measurable minerals that are needed and also sustain a balance of good prebiotics. Bananas are a good source of the oh so important potassium. Sodium should not be added to food because in their natural state all foods have sodium in balance. A pinch of Himalayan or mineral rich sea salt or a tablespoon of raw organic apple cider vinegar with the mother in a good clean water source will replenish electrolytes rapidly. Out of convenience or lack of nutrients in your daily intake there are good quality supplements available in powders or capsules. Consult your trainer or a qualified practitioner for more information and to customize your needs, Naturally!

OPINIONS Cream of the crop “For a community to be whole and healthy, it must be based on people’s love and concern for each other.” – Millard Fuller
T
his community never ceases to amaze me. The fourth annual Amazing Race, held last Saturday, was a resounding success with 26 teams of two battling for top spot. Participants were tested on agility, endurance, hand-eye coordination, attention to detail, and of course, teamwork. The event raised close to $15,000 from registration fees, donations, and raffle tickets. That amount will be shared with Quesnel and District Palliative Care and the Canadian Cancer Society – two amazing organizations. These events take an army of volunteers to pull off and the support of businesses and residents. In no way could our community thrive in such a way without the support of those calling the Gold Pan City home. That needs to be celebrated, far too often we focus on the negatives – unemployment rates, industry downturns, stalled housing prices... we could go on. But to live in a community in which people come out day after day to work together to ensure services and support is in place for those in need, without asking for anything in return, is truly what community is all about. This speaks to our people far more than City Hall happenings, crime stats or industry updates. This is the heart of a community, this is what Quesnel is all about. Congratulations to all the wonderful volunteers and participants of the Amazing Race – we could all take a page from your book. Thank you. –Autumn MacDonald, Observer
B.C. liquor laws finally effective H
ere’s a summer scene being played out all over North America. Family van pulls up to the corner store to stock up on a few camping essentials: pop, chips, hot dogs, a case of beer and a bottle of vodka. Not in B.C. you say? It happens every day at rural agency liquor stores around the province. As with many other issues, there is one reality for urban B.C. and another for the rest of us. Selling booze in grocery stores would presumably create anarchy in B.C cities and towns, but villagers and their visitors somehow manage it, just as everyone does across the line in Washington or Alaska. These rural agency stores are “flyspeck operators,” sniffs an acquaintance who spent his career as a union activist in government liquor stores. Picture dusty old bottles on a rickety shelf, greedy owners and poorly trained clerks more likely to sell to under-age drinkers. Similar generalizations can be heard about the hundreds of private liquor stores that have popped up around B.C. since they were
Tom Fletcher
B.C. Views legalized. And in fact there have been more violations in private stores, revealed in sting operations run by liquor inspectors. In the year ended March 31, 54 private stores were caught selling to a minor, for an 84 per cent compliance rate. Only four government stores were caught, a pass rate of 96 per cent. Five rural agency stores were tested, and one flunked. But here is the telling statistic. In 2010, the government allowed liquor inspectors to employ actual minors to test stores. Previously, they hired people who looked young but were old enough to buy alcohol, As late as 2009, two out of three stores (government or otherwise) sold to them. Problem is, that’s not an actual offence. Now liquor inspectors send in undercover teens,
B.C.’s burgeoning craft beer industry has looked to Alberta’s all-private model and predicts higher costs. The B.C. Liberal government has been on the defensive from the start, with the NDP pointing to the paper trail of lobbyists with an apparent inside track. It’s great politics, but it matters little to consumers in an increasingly competitive but heavily taxed business. Another new regulation took effect this summer, creating a $525 fine for adults serving minors, on the job, at home or as a bootlegger. Parents who provide booze for their own under-age children are exempted. Previously, penalties applied only to licensed establishments. If the issue really is public safety and teen binge drinking, the key job for government is to regulate sales effectively. Once that is done, no justification remains for government liquor sales.

and relieve them of the evidence when they are allowed to buy booze. The watchdog now has teeth, and compliance has jumped. The government glossed over the poorer performance of private stores. But in fairness, three times as many private stores as government ones were targeted in the new inspections, and the gap is narrow. Government stores also have a huge built-in financial advantage in their wholesale rate, and are generally overstaffed by private sector standards. The B.C. Liberals also moved this spring to make rural agency stores easier to establish. Regulation changes brought the minimum population served from 300 down to 200, and eliminated a vague requirement for a “bona fide community” to exist around the store. Meanwhile, the big booze story this year is cabinet minister Rich Coleman’s plan to sell B.C.’s warehouse and distribution monopoly to a private contractor. The B.C. Government Employees’ Union has protested, despite assurances that their jobs will continue.

Farmers’ Market offering samplings of wares As we approach mid August, local produce and food vendors at the Quesnel Farmers’ Market are anxious to share some of the wonderful tastes and flavours experienced only at this time of year. The Market is hosting a special event this Saturday, Aug. 18, called “Flavours of Quesnel”. Vendors will be encouraged to provide samples, demonstrations and taste tests of their products so customers can experience, first hand, the wonderful variety of items produced in the North Cariboo. You can expect to find a full selection of mid-season crops at the market right now. Tomatoes, beans, carrots, broccoli, potatoes, basil, cucumbers, peppers, onions, garlic, lettuces, beets and summer squash are all at their best at this time; in addition, you’ll find a great selection of breads, cookies, ready-to-eat gyros, dim sum and other exotic foods, birch syrup, Cariboo honey, perogies, plus locally raised and cured meats and fish. The Quesnel Farmers’ Market is also a great setting to shop for tastefully crafted gift items, from soaps and jewelry, to framed landscape photos. It’s also the perfect place to take out-of-town guests. Come sample and smell the flavours of grilled summer squash, barbequed lamb sausages, wild berry jams and jellies and much more. Grab a coffee and listen to the beautiful voice and music of Jacinta. The Market is open each Saturday, 8:30 a.m. – 1 p.m. at the Helen Dixon School site.
Sweet Kelsey onions are just one of the many fresh, locally-grown vegetables available at the Quesnel Farmers’ Market. This Saturday, visitors to the market can not only purchase such produce but vendors will also be offering samples of their various offerings. Annie Gallant photo

t is with great sadness the family of Mary MacLachlan announces her passing Aug. 10 at GR Baker with family and friends at her side, the end to a three year battle with cancer. Mary is survived by her husband Mike, her children Mark (Erin) and Marnie, grandchildren, John and Katie, brother Cecil (Cathy) and sister Bea (Bruce). Mary was a loving wife, mother, and

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 Celestial energy will rejuvenate and reenergize you, Cancer. If things have been a little bit boring at home, someone you meet might just provide the spark you need. LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 You can find many inspirational forces around you, Leo, which will aid you in making tough decisions. Pay special attention to an overheard conversation. VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, you may find yourself on the path to some exciting places if you hang out with the right people this week. This is not a time to back out; act outside of your comfort zone. LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, you may be looking for a new adventure but haven't a clue where to start. Anything is possible if you keep your eyes and ears open to everything around you. SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22 Don't put any limits on your love life, Scorpio.

CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20 It's the little things that will catch your attention this week, Capricorn. A small detail, a particular color, a note in a song. If others overlook it, you'll probably zone in on it. AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 Expect some surprises when attending a get-together with family and friends. An interesting person comes into your life to provide some inspiration. PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, a situation arises that forces you to think outside the box.
