Not guilty AUTUMN MacDONALD Observer Reporter This is a continuation of a second degree murder trial in Quesnel Supreme Court; for previous coverage look in previous Observers or online, www.quesnelobserver.com Ken Price was found not guilty Thursday by a 12-member jury. Price was charged with second degree murder after an incident July 2009 at the Lewis Drive “brown cabins.” Price testified Albert Boivin had him by the throat when both men went for the knife. “I thought I was a dead man,” Price said. “I thought he was going to kill me.” Price testified Boivin still had a hold of his throat when Price spotted a knife on the bed. “I thought he was going for it,” Price stated. When Price grabbed the knife, he described reaching over and around Boivin and “flailing away, stabbing, trying to get him to let go of my throat.” “I wasn’t aiming for any particular place, there was no time to think,” he said. Price remembers at one point both men being on their knees, adding Boivin still had a hold of his throat. “Then he was on top of me,” Price testified. “That’s when he let go [of Price’s throat].” Price then testified he pushed Boivin off him and “stumbled” out of the cabin where he tried to “catch his breath.” The accused then heard a “crash behind him.” Price testified it was Boivin exiting the cabin. “I started to run to the road, when I looked behind me he was stumbling,” Price said. “He crashed into the next cabin and went down.” “How did you feel?” defence asked.

“Disbelief, shock, fear, anger,” Price replied. “Anger at who?” defence asked. “At Albert,” Price said. “Why?” questioned defence. “Because he tried to kill me,” Price replied. Defence also questioned Price on the audio recording of himself taken in the back of the RCMP truck the night of the incident. “Do you remember what Cst. Fletcher was telling you?” defence asked. “No,” Price said. “Why not?” asked defence. “I was in shock,” Price said. “I had just killed a man.” Price testified he doesn’t remember being read his rights, being informed he was arrested for murder or phrases that could be heard on the tape such as “is he dead?” and “He attacked me and he attacked that woman.” “Did you have any idea there would be any violence that night?” defence asked. “No,” Price replied. Next defence covered Price’s injuries. Price testified his throat was sore, his back was out, he had bruising and “raw knees.” Price also said he “didn’t think much of the marks” until his common law wife came to visit him at the RCMP detachment and asked if anyone had photographed his injuries. “And did you do anything after that about pictures?” defence asked. “Yes, I asked quite a few times,” Price testified. No photographs were taken. “Why did you feel the woman in the cabin was being threatened?” defence questioned. “Slapping her, calling her names, throwing her in the bedroom – if that’s not threatening, I don’t know what is,” he said. The jury commenced deliberations Wednesday afternoon. They came back with a not guilty verdict of both second degree murder and manslaughter Thursday at 11:30 a.m.

Highway of Tears murder linked to US man

Jeff Nagel Black Press A dead U.S. inmate with a history of raping women has been named by RCMP as the murderer of one of the 18 young women in B.C.’s long-running Highway of Tears probe and is strongly suspected as a serial killer in more of those cases. Bobby Jack Fowler died in an Oregon prison in 2006 but his DNA was matched this year to evidence from the killing of 16-year-old Colleen MacMillen while she was hitchhiking near Lac La Hache in 1974. Police say Fowler worked as a roofer in Prince George and prowled B.C.’s interior highways picking up young female hitchhikers. Brother Shawn MacMillen said his family is “stunned” by the discovery and grateful to investigators for the knowledge Fowler can never hurt anyone else, even though he was not punished for any B.C. murders. “Colleen was a lovely, sweet, innocent 16-yearold kid, and there are still not words in the world to express how terribly she was wronged,” he said. “For those remaining families whose daughters and sisters were also

Simpson posts expenses online Independent Cariboo North MLA Bob Simpson is posting his expenses online. “Out of respect for taxpayers, I believe it’s important for all MLAs to be open about our expenses sooner rather than later,” Simpson said. “British Columbians’ tax dollars support our work as MLAs and we need to be up front about all of the expenses associated with that work.” A scathing report from the office of the auditor general on the finances of the B.C. Legislature prompted public outrage about the secrecy surrounding MLA expenses. Simpson suggests that without systems in place to ensure full RCMP Insp. Gary Shinkaruk, Shawn MacMillen and RCMP Insp. Gary Shinkaruk address media after a dead U.S. inmate with a history of raping women has been named by RCMP as the murderer of one of the 18 young women in B.C.’s longrunning Highway of Tears probe and is strongly suspected as a serial killer in more of those cases. Black Press photo

RCMP seeking help from A2 Police say a single serial killer cannot be responsible in all 18 cases, but are open to the possibility one or more serial killers murdered some women, while others were one-off murders. RCMP now have what they call an incomplete timeline of Fowler’s movements in B.C. and want public help in identifying where else he might have been in the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s. Anyone who knew him during those years – people who socialized with him, worked with him or traveled with him – are urged to call 1-877-543-4822. RCMP Dep. Comm. Craig Callens said Interpol’s successful link this spring of 40-year-old DNA to Fowler was the oldest such match in its history. An earlier 2007 test had turned up an unknown male profile but officers, wanting to take advantage of improved technology, obtained a better sample that Interpol was this time able to match. Police have been under fire for years over their handling of the missing women investigations but Callens rejected suggestions the case could have been cracked sooner, adding Fowler was only found because of investigators’ persistence in re-testing samples. “For the RCMP, there is no such thing as a cold case,” Callens said. “We remain committed to seeking justice for the victims and getting answers for the families.” Fowler died of natural causes at age 66 while serving a 10-year term for a violent attack. He had a history of violent crime in the U.S. – but not Canada – and police said he believed women who frequented bars wanted to be violently raped.

Fowler could be “charming and disarming” but suddenly turn violent, Shinkaruk added. In B.C., Fowler is believed to have been transient, taking odd jobs, driving old cars and living in cheap hotel or rental rooms. He picked up hitchhikers, was an alcoholic and user of speed and meth and was prone to violence. Police also went to three U.S. states trying to pump former cellmates for more information. Oregon authorities suspect Fowler in unsolved murders of female teenagers there. Shinkaruk said RCMP have three or four other strong suspects in the B.C. murders or disappearances after eliminating more than 80 per cent of the 1,400 persons of interest they’ve examined. Police have taken more than 750 DNA samples of B.C. men as part of the investigation. Shinkaruk said northern B.C. does not have an unusual number of such murders despite the high profile around the Highway of Tears, a name families and advocates tagged to Highway 16 West to push police for more action. One of the loudest critics of the probe, Gladys Radek, said blaming a dead serial killer strikes her as a bit too convenient for police. “I believe there are still 17 other perpetrators out there,” she said, arguing more should have been done years ago. “For the sake of the other families, I hope they do link them together and those three families get closure,” added Radek. Her dead niece Tamara Chipman was killed outside Prince Rupert in 2005, but not by Fowler. “He was in jail in Oregon at the time Tamara disappeared.”

transparency for MLA spending, public cynicism towards politics and politicians will only increase. “The Legislative Assembly Management Committee [LAMC] needs to take a leadership role on MLA expense disclosure and report on all MLAs’ expense accounts as soon as possible,” he said. “Until they do this I’m committed to being as transparent as possible about all my expenses with my constituents.” Simpson noted that there are other MLAs who have taken measures to disclose their expenses publicly. Mike De Jong, MLA for Abbotsford West and

now Finance Minister, also posts his office and travel expenses online. In the absence of a clear disclosure policy from LAMC, Simpson says he hopes other MLAs will follow suit. “Our province is facing many serious social, economic and environmental challenges, and unpublished expenses are, frankly, an unnecessary distraction,” Simpson said. “There are more important shortcomings in our parliamentary democracy so LAMC needs to enable us to put this matter behind us by getting every MLA’s expenses online ASAP.”

Infrastucture is backbone I

nvesting in infrastructure is one of the most important things a local government can do. Our infrastructure is the backbone of our community. And Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m very proud of the investments weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been making in our roads, water systems, storm drains and sidewalks over the last few years. This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s biggest project was the revitalization of Elliott Street in West Quesnel. Anybody who had driven down this road recently knew it was in need of some major work. This year, Council allocated $950,000 from the Quesnel Works: Capital Reinvestment Program to give that stretch a real makeover. We started by digging up and replacing the storm drain system. We then added new sidewalks, curbs and gutters. Finally, we re-paved the street â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and it is a really nice drive now! Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll take a moment here to thank the City crews for all the great work and extra effort theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve put in to get this job done. The external contractors, such as Quesnel Paving, also did a great job for us as usual. I really must thank the local residents and businesses

Mary Sjostrrom

MAYORâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S MESSAGE for putting up with the inconvenience a major project like this can bring. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sure, however, that the long-term benefits of this investment will make the construction period worthwhile. When we as council make investments in infrastructure, we have to make targeted and strategic decisions. We discuss all our capital projects annually during budget time and they are approved by council. But thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not enough funding to replace and fix everything weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to. This is an issue every municipality is facing - the â&#x20AC;&#x153;infrastructure deficit.â&#x20AC;? Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why your City Council started collecting taxes specifically for the Quesnel Works: Capital Reinvestment Program in 2007. The funds we collect are

used solely for infrastructure reinvestment projects. We also identified which of our infrastructure assets are nearing the end of their useful lives and developed some plans about how we can maximize our investment. For example, if a road needs resurfacing, but we know the water line or storm drain line will need replacing in a year or two, we may choose to either delay the resurfacing or replace those lines a year earlier. This allows us to make better use of the funds by going into an area and completely rehabbing it. This is what we chose to do this year with Elliott Street and is also what we did last year on St. Laurent Avenue. As we move forwards, and our infrastructure continues to age, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have to continue to be vigilant and do as much work as we can. But by allocating our funds carefully and strategically, our community will be well-served for generations to come. Do you have a question for Mayor Mary Sjostrom? E-mail it to us at newsroom@ quesnelobserver.com and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll forward it to the Mayor so she can answer it in an upcoming column.

Pet Safe Coalition to hold poker ride fundraiser Non–proﬁt organization aims to aid animals in times of crisis DANIKA M. HÉBERT Observer Reporter The new Quesnel group, Pet Safe Coalition Society of Quesnel (PSCSC) have kicked off their fundraising efforts. This non profit group is aimed at helping relieve some of the stress animal owners have during difficult times. “We assist people and their animals during natural disasters such as wild fires and flooding,” PSCSC director, Christy Wheeler said. “We also work with Victim Services when animals could be at risk and Emergency Social Services during personal disaster such as house fires.” The coalition has several ways in helping animals in times of crisis. “Our mission is to help animals during disasters be it personal or natural with our rescue, sheltering and reunification services,” Wheeler explained. “We also educate people on how to prepare themselves and animals in the

event of a disaster.” This new program will be a pilot project, as Quesnel is the first community to run it. “Pet Safe Coalition Society has been operating in the United States for several years but is new to Canada,” Wheeler said. “Quesnel is the first community Pet Safe will be operating in.” The Pet Safe Coalition was created in 1998 in New York state to assist pet populations during times of disaster. In 2005, it was officially founded and is still helping to educate and prepare people for emergencies with their pets. Since this program is non-profit, Wheeler said they’ve already organized a few fundraiser to get started. One of them is a Poker Ride which will take place Oct. 7 at Hallis Lake recreational trails. The Poker Ride is sponsored by the Quesnel and District Riding Club. The first rider will go at 9:30 a.m.

HIV is a real concern within our communities. You can contract HIV primarily through unprotected sex and by sharing needles. HIV can live in your body for years without you knowing and all the while you can be passing it to others. At least 25 per cent of people who are HIV+ do not know and these 25 per cent are estimated to be responsible for 75 per cent of new infections. Northern Health, in collaboration with its community partners, is working with the Province of BC to prevent the spread of HIV by expanding HIV testing, treatment, and support services to British Columbians.

OPINIONS Praise worthy

s someone who has never hesitated to criticize the police, it’s time to heap on the

praise. And pile on the thanks, as well, for the work they’ve done in bringing some amount of closure to at least one family. Closure’s a funny word; do you ever really shut the door on the pain that hijacks your DNA when your child/sibling/friend is murdered? Whatever the emotion is that they are feeling, the family of Colleen MacMillen is at least experiencing it, thanks to the dedication of the officers who have continued to try to solve the murders of women in the B.C. Interior. It must have been frustrating, infuriating, demanding and simply daunting, but they kept at it and, in addition to the information they’ve been able to share with the MacMillens about what happened to their teenaged daughter in 1974, they’ve been able to tell two other families they think the embodiment of evil once known as Bobby Jack Fowler also killed their loved ones. I’m sure that team of detectives working on the task force feels emboldened now, perhaps even starting to believe they will be able to close a few more of the files. But, it’s also important to acknowledge that kind of work. For every Monty Robinson wielding a taser or crashing a car, there are dozens of other officers who take the gravity of the badge and the calling seriously and who treat it with reverence. They just want to do good, protect us all and make it home to their own families every night. I simply can’t imagine that kind of mindset, that kind of determination and commitment. Look for the monsters. Hope they find them. They’re good people doing a dreadful job. The next time one of their colleagues does something stupid and makes another headline, we should remember those who won’t get those headlines. This week, they got the right headlines and they deserve our thanks. – Kamloops This Week

Dumping one addiction for another T

hree months ago at the beginning of the summer, I wrote a column about my 30 year addiction to junk food. I am happy to report it is now in remission. This may seem like an insignificant feat to some, but for me and the self inflicted jail of a body that I built for myself, it’s a game changer. It’s also an entirely different accomplishment than just losing a dramatic amount of weight, which I’ve done several times in my 20’s, 30’s and 40’s. My most extreme weight loss was when I was 25 and I lost 85 lbs by jogging daily and eating an unhealthy, low-fat, low cal diet. Since then I’ve gained and lost 30 lbs over and over, never keeping it off for good. Why? Because I never stopped eating crap. My belief was that I could drink pop as long as it was calorie free. I thought it was okay to eat processed garbage if it said something as clever as “low fat” or “less than 100 calories” on the package. And I also thought it

Lori Welbourne

On A Brighter Note was fine to skip meals as important as breakfast and then devour six Skinny Cow Fudgesicles right before bed. The goal for me was always about losing weight rather than becoming as healthy as I could be and because of that my successes with the scale would never last long. At a certain point I finally did enough reading on the subject that I came to understand that some people develop an addiction to junk-food and I was clearly one of them. At first I wondered if that was just a cop-out, a lack of willpower on my part and on the part of others who struggle with over-eating and eating disorders. I then discovered there is neuroscientific proof that some of our brains react to

limitless spoonfulls of Nutella with a delicious square of dark chocolate instead. The list was rather lengthy, but I was able to figure out a nutritious alternative that I liked for everything, and I never allowed myself to feel hungry or deprived. After 21 days I felt like I had traded one addiction for three. No longer craving junk, my old obsession was replaced by an addiction to healthy foods, working out and treating myself with love. I’m down 25 lbs now and for the first time ever I don’t fear gaining weight because I’m finally listening to my body and giving it what it needs, and now wants as well. Have I sworn off pizza and cookies for good? No way. They just happen to now be homemade, nutritious and far more delicious.

food the exact same way other brains react to drugs. It was an eye opener that changed the way I looked at my problem and how I should be dealing with it. At the beginning of July, I sat down at the computer and typed every single garbage food or beverage I was injesting. My goal with this list was to find a healthy substitute for all of them and then commit to making a switch for a full 21 days. I had read somewhere that it takes 21 days to form a new habit and I liked the sounds of that. I figured if I was a junk food junkie and the “everything in moderation” theory didn’t work on me, perhaps I could change my harmful addiction to a helpful addiction instead. How hard could it be? I liked lots of healthy food. I just never ate much of it when I was busy eating crap since the crap I consumed had me craving more of the same. I replaced diet pops with ice water, coffee and Baileys with organic lattes, white rice with quinoa, ice cream with yogurt parfaits, and

a litre. Several things are confusing to me concerning this. The last time the price at the pump was over a $1.30 a litre the price of oil was $105 a barrel. This time the price

jumps to $1.38.9 and oil never got over $100 a barrel. As I write this (Sept. 18) oil per barrel was $95.95 at the close of the day. The other thing that’s confusing to me, the day

that gas prices jumped to $1.38.9, Vancouver prices were $135.9. Vancouver has a 15 per cent transit tax so, how is it possible we are three cents higher than Vancouver? Since we

don’t have an extra 15 per cent tax on our gas, should we not be at a $1.20.9? Maybe my math skills are failing me. I was thinking that the oil companies should give balaclavas to their

station owners as, I would feel better not being able to recognize the person robbing me. Hopefully some one has an answer. Ed Kent Quesnel

BC TRANSIT

Government seeks nominees for BC Transit Board TOM FLETCHER Black Press

The B.C. government will ask local communities to nominate directors for the BC Transit board in an effort to improve communication on bus service changes and expansions. Transportation Minister Mary Polak announced Tuesday that communities will also have the option of setting up regional transit commissions, similar to the one in place in Greater Victoria. The recommendations follow a review of BC Transit administration, sparked by complaints that the provincial agency was arbitrarily changing service and costs after municipal budgets were set. “We are also making sure that BC Transit provides sufficient notice to local governments of any service adjustments, along with the type of information local governments need to make timely budget decisions,” Polak said. Joe Stanhope, chair of the Regional District of Nanaimo, praised the review and BC Transit’s efforts to give communities more say. It

was Stanhope’s complaints about a doubling of management fees and the proposed withdrawal of new buses from the Nanaimo service that provoked the review. BC Transit CEO Manuel Achadinha said there has already been progress on new regional transit authorities. The Kootenay region has nine different bus systems, but has established a committee that could lead to a regional service. The provincial review identified the Okanagan and Central Fraser Valley as other areas that should consider amalgamating. The ministry will develop a policy for intercity transit routes that will focus on shorter trips and timing for commuters, Polak said, while leaving longer bus service to Greyhound and other private bus lines. Polak said the municipalities in the Greater Victoria Transit Commission remain split on whether they should transfer their service to the Capital Regional District. The government will extend their ability to nominate commission members, which are now restricted to mayors of key communities.

Robin Brown of Fisheries and Oceans Canada describes the variable patterns of currents that carry floating material across the North Pacific from Asia to North America. Tom Fletcher photo

Experts say Tsunami debris on its way TOM FLETCHER Black Press Thousands of tonnes of floating debris are expected to wash up on North America’s west coast, increasing as soon as this winter’s storms and continuing for several years. That’s the assessment of experts tracking the scattered wreckage from the 2011 earthquake and ocean surge that devastated the coastline of Japan. The total mass still afloat is estimated at 1.5 million tonnes, but only a small fraction of that is expected to reach B.C. Environment Minister Terry Lake said the lighter windblown material that has already begun washing ashore is an increase in natural flow that has occurred for thousands of years. Tsunami debris is expected only on coastal areas directly exposed to the Pacific and not the east side of Vancouver Island or coastal sections sheltered by islands. It’s not possible to survey or even get access to all areas of B.C.’s coastline, much less clean up the debris completely, Lake said. And B.C. will be calling on volunteer organizations to help monitor and collect debris, as U.S. coastal states are also doing. Timing and volume of debris can’t be determined exactly,

because it is too spread out to track with satellites, said Robin Brown, head of Fisheries and Oceans Canada’s ocean science division. Brown said the pace and path are not predictable, with circular currents such as those that have formed a vast “garbage patch” west of Hawaii. Radioactive contamination is not considered a hazard, as most of the debris

washed out to sea before the disaster damaged a Japanese nuclear reactor. Ordinary debris can be removed and plastics or metals recycled where possible. If material can be directly linked to the Japanese tsunami, officials ask for detailed report e-mailed to DisasterDebris@noaa. gov, the U.S. agency coordinating response for Hawaii, Alaska, Washington, Oregon

and California. If fuel tanks, barrels, gas cylinders or chemical storage containers are found, people are advised to stay away from them and call B.C.’s spill reporting line at 1-800-6633456. Another major concern is invasive marine species, such as shellfish attached to a dock that recently

washed ashore in Oregon. It is considered highly unlikely that human remains would still be found. Lake said updates to the developing response plan will be posted to a dedicated website, www.tsunamidebrisbc.ca, along with public advisories and information on volunteer beach cleanup efforts.

At the COFI dinner a representative of the Business Council of BC gave a presentation on the joint initiative that they’re undertaking with the BC Chamber of Commerce, dubbed the “BC Agenda for Shared Prosperity.” This initiative will involve some regional workshops leading up to a provincial conference next March. The union and environmental groups’ green jobs initiative is called “Good Jobs for a Green Future” and, like the business groups’ initiative, it’s an attempt to deﬁne what prosperity looks like through the lens of sustainability. It would be great if these two initiatives came together and business, labour, and the environmental and social advocacy groups could arrive at a consensus on what a true “shared prosperity” agenda looks like for BC; they could present this plan to all the political parties in advance of May 2013. That would go a long way to putting an end to the acrimony and divisiveness that has come to characterize BC’s political culture over the last few decades.

This week I’m attending the Union of BC Municipalities’ annual general meeting in Victoria. I’ve had lots of good meetings with local government representatives, especially those concerned about the sorry state of our public forests and the failure of both the Liberals and the NDP to present a coherent agenda for revitalizing the forest sector and assisting forestdependent communities through a difﬁcult transition period. While it’s nice to work out of my Legislative ofﬁce for at least a little while this fall, I’m looking forward to heading home this weekend and to some extended time in the riding.

(MS) — Breast cancer has been a widespread disease for years. Its cause is unknown, and it knows no race or age boundaries for attacking mostly women. The numbers are startling. According to thebreastcancersite.com, a Web site that helps fund free mammograms for underprivileged women, 182,000 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer (one every three minutes) and 43,300 women will die (one every 12 minutes) of breast cancer this year. The National Cancer Institute (NCI) estimates that about one in eight women in the United States (approximately 13.3 percent) will develop breast cancer during her lifetime.

WHAT IS BREAST CANCER? Breast cancer is an uncontrolled growth of breast cells that may form a mass of extra tissue called a tumor. Tumors can be benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous). The most common type of breast cancer begins in the lining of the ducts — the tube-like part of the breast that milk passes through to reach the nipple — called ductal carcinoma. When it spreads outside the ducts, it is called invasive breast cancer (most breast cancers are invasive). Metastatic breast cancer SIGNS OF BREAST CANCER is cancer that has spread from The scariest part about breast the site of the initial cancer to cancer is that you can have it other parts of the body. and not even know it.

RISK FACTORS Certain factors can increase a woman’s risk of getting breast cancer, although 70 percent of women with breast cancer have no known risk factors, according to the National Breast Cancer Foundation. These risk factors include heredity, early puberty, late childbearing, obesity and lifestyle factors such as heavy alcohol consumption and smoking. Studies from the NCI have shown that alcohol consumption can cause a 40 to 70 percent increased risk of breast cancer with two drinks daily. However, the biggest risk factor of all is age. Most breast cancers occur in women over the age of 50, and women over 60 are at the highest risk, according to breastcancer. org, a nonprofit organization for breast cancer education. In addition, a woman’s risk for developing breast cancer increases if her mother, sister, daughter or two or more other close relatives, such as cousins, have a history of breast cancer, especially at a young age. Yet 85 percent of women who develop breast cancer have no known family history of the disease.

Educating yourself about breast cancer and creating an early detection plan, which includes giving yourself a proper breast self-exam, can help save your life.

with an annual exam by a doctor, improve the chances of detecting cancer early, which is the key to more treatment options and a greater chance of survival. One way women can take an active part in the early detection of breast cancer, according to thebreastcancersite.com, is by following an early detection plan which means having: — breast examinations by your doctor every three years from ages 20 to 39 and every year thereafter — monthly breast self-examinations beginning at age 20 to look for any changes in your breasts — a baseline mammogram (the first one) by the age of 40 — a mammogram every one to two years for women ages 40 to 49, depending on previous mammogram findings — and a mammogram every year for women over age 50 Keeping a record of your selfexams and mammograms and marking your calendar with reminders will help you follow your early detection plan.

breast cancer usually does not cause pain and there may even be no symptoms at all. However, as the cancer grows, it can cause any of the following changes: a lump or thickening in or near the breast or in the underarm area; a change in the size or shape of the breast; nipple discharge or tenderness; inverted nipples; ridges or pitting of the breast (skin looks PROPER BREAST SELFsimilar to an orange peel); and EXAM the way the skin of the breast, Get in the habit of doing a areola (area surrounding the breast self-examination once nipple) or nipple looks or feels a month to familiarize your(red, scaly, warm or swollen). self with how your breasts normally look and feel. ExEARLY DETECTION amine yourself several days Studies show that regular after your period ends, when breast self-exams, combined

your breasts are least likely to be swollen and tender. If you are no longer having periods, choose a day that’s easy to remember, such as the first or last day of the month. Step 1 — In the shower with fingers flat, move gently over every part of each breast. Use your right hand to examine your left breast, and left hand for right breast. Check for a lump, hard knot or thickening. Carefully observe any changes in your breasts. Step 2 — In front of a mirror, put your arms at your sides and inspect your breasts. Raise your arms high overhead and look for any changes in the contour of each breast, a swelling, a dimpling of skin or changes in the nipple. Then rest your palms on your hips and press firmly to flex your chest muscles. Note that few women’s left and right breasts match exactly. Step 3 — Lying down, place a pillow under your right shoulder, with right arm behind your head. With fingers of the left hand flat, press right breast gently in small circular motions, moving vertically or in a circular pattern, covering the entire breast. Use light, medium and firm pressure. Squeeze nipple and check for discharge and lumps. Repeat these steps for your left breast. Don’t panic if you think you feel a lump. Most women have

some lumps or lumpy areas in their breasts all the time, and eight out of 10 breast lumps that are removed are benign. However, if you notice any changes that last over a full month’s cycle or seem to get worse or more obvious over time, it’s best to bring them to the attention of your doctor. TF04A650

Pony club is for all kids who love horses ANNIE GALLANT Observer Reporter

welve-year-old Kayleigh Beaudry talks softly to her steel grey, fiveyear-old quarter horse/ thoroughbred pony who she affectionately calls Tater Tots. She cinches up the saddle and adds a little brushing just to make sure he looks his best. Tater was a combined birthday/Christmas present to Kayleigh and she couldn’t be happier with any gift. During her riding lessons with coach Elaine, it was suggested to Kayleigh and her mother Brandy they might be interested in Pony Club. Run by volunteers, Pony Clubs is for young people between six and 21 years of age who are interested in riding, learning about and/or caring for horses and ponies, with about 3,000 members in about 180 branches in Canada. Worldwide, Pony club is in at least 20 other countries with more than 100,000 members. For the past two years, Kayleigh’s been a member of the Quesnel Pony Club but didn’t have her own steed, which isn’t

a prerequisite for club membership but it helps. About seven months ago her dream came true and Tater entered her life. Tater shows his personality with an inquisitive snuffle for anyone who walks by but for Kayleigh her focus is completely captivated by her horse. “I love everything about horses,” she said with a big grin. And she added that love of horses comes from several family members who also share

an equine interest. As Kayleigh puts Tater through his warmup paces in the agriplex at Alex Fraser Park, Elaine calls out encouragement and instruction. The concentration and pleasure on Kayleigh’s face tells the story. After executing a successful maneuver, the young girl reaches down and pats Tater’s neck, offering words of praise. Despite not having a pony to begin her Pony Club experience, Kayleigh said she learned

all about the horse, the physiology, breeds, the tack (hardware required for riding), stable management, including care of the horse and lessons in theory with testing. Elaine added Pony Club’s top priority, though, is safety, saying that comes before anything else. Pony Club also adds an element of comraderie and competition. For Elaine, she loves the threeday eventing competitions in which members execute

dressage, stadium jumping and cross country with jumps. Those interested in western riding can also find a place in Pony Club, Elaine said. “The only difference between English and western riding is in its application,” she said. “I’ve done it all and the only thing western riding doesn’t include is jumping. “Kids join the program for the love of horses, not for a style of riding.” She recalls one young

man who wanted to join and have a horse, not just to ride but to be his buddy. And that is often the case, including Kayleigh. Twenty-three-year-old Kaitlyn Popik has been riding for 15 years. “I was in Pony club for three years but never had a horse,” she said. She canters around the agriplex along with Kayleigh, her skills obvious to even the casual onlooker. She’s comfortable in her English saddle and the bond between rider and horse is evident. “I had a goal from a very young age, grow up, go to university, get a job, a dog, a truck and a horse,” she said. “I’ve accomplished all that.” She remembers back in 1997 when she attended a five-day horse camp. “Then I joined Pony Club.” Pony Club registration is Oct. 3, 6:30 p.m. in room 200 at Correlieu senior secondary school. For information on the program and how it can work for your child and your family, contact Angela, 250-2495445 or Janet, 250-2495808.

Kitchens and bathrooms are the most important and most complicated rooms to remodel in a home. These rooms where families spend so much of their time merit attention because they have to be functional and pleasant. Remodeling an outdated kitchen or bathroom is not only a smart investment, but will also bring your family more comfort than most any other home improvement.

Dusting it up at the bike park

Q: Why hire an independent kitchen or bathroom designer when my general contractor can draw up plans? A: Homeowners usually remodel only once or twice, and when they are looking at the different options in appliances, cabinetry, countertops, and flooring, it is easy to become overwhelmed by the number of available choices . A kitchen and bathroom designer will sit down and discuss the family’s lifestyle, desires and priorities, often coming up with ideas the contractor or homeowner hadn’t considered. Q: Should I call a bathroom or kitchen designer before or after I choose a contractor? A: Though you can do it either way, it’s advisable to contact the designer first, make all the design decisions, then find the right contractor to fit the job. Often a designer will have a complete team to do the job from start to finish.

ne statement I hear a lot from people is “everything is changing so fast.” If you buy a computer at 9 a.m. there will probably be a better model out by 4 o’clock!

in the last 30 years than in the last 5,000 Years. 60 per cent of all items in the supermarket did not exist 10 years ago and 35 per cent of college grads are starting jobs that did not exist when they were born. Even travel has changed – more than 100 years ago George Washington travelled from Virginia to

Washington, DC by horseback. It took him 10 days. Today astronauts travel 25,000 miles per hour in a space vehicle. At that speed you can go from Vancouver to Whitehorse in two minutes. Someone observed, “my great grandfather rode a horse but was afraid of the train. My grandfather rode the train but was afraid of the car. My father rode in a car, but was afraid of the airplane. Now I ride in an airplane and am afraid of a horse!” For so many of us, change is really

unsettling and life has become so unpredictable. In Psalm 90, Moses coped with all his changes by praying to the God who never changes like this – “Lord, through all the generations you have been our home. Teach us to number our days that we may gain a heart of wisdom.” Comfort and strength is ours when we consider that our world today is in the hands of an infinite God who never loses track of what is happening.

His Son Jesus Christ. As we come to know Him we soon discover that His love does not fail and He is a changeless God in a changing world. John Nicholson is a pastor with Northstar Baptist Church in Quesnel.

We are sad to announce the sudden death of John Brooks Thomas of Quesnel on Friday, September 21st at the age of 87. John was born in Toronto in 1925 and attended the University of Toronto. He was director of St. Andrew’s House in Toronto. In 1957 he headed west and ended up in Dawson Creek, where he taught school at South Peace River Secondary. In 1963 he moved his family to Vancouver where he became director of International House at UBC. In the late 1960’s, John redirected his energies into counselling, completing a Master’s in counselling psychology at SFU. He worked in various capacities in the Vancouver area, including creating the Rose Garden Cooperative in the downtown eastside, before moving to Quesnel. John believed in seeing the best in people and helping them to see the best in themselves; he also believed in good nutrition, in social justice, and in standing up for what is important.

He lived his beliefs every day of his life. John leaves his ﬁve children, Kate (Dale), Ken, Lynn (Michel), Hugh, and David (Kate), and six grandchildren, Amalie, Holly, Madeleine, Taylyn, Sebastian and Harry, his sisters Jean, Mary and Toni, and brothers William and Dean, as well as numerous nieces and nephews, and his wide circle of family and friends in Quesnel, Vancouver and Ontario. A celebration of John’s life including a potluck dinner and dance will be held this Saturday, September 29, 2012 at 1 pm at the Quesnel Tillicum Friendship Centre at 319 North Fraser Drive, Quesnel.

In Memory of

Eleanor Ann (Olson) Backer July 12, 1949 ~ September 17, 2012 Eleanor passed away peacefully with her loving family at her side. She showed grace and dignity while battling cancer for the past 6 months. Eleanor is survived by her husband Frank Eustache, mother Marion, sisters Lauretta (Ken), Maureen (Jim), brother Carl (Cathy), Children Diahanna (Kevin), Lionel (Jessica); Stepchildren Cory, Nadine (Hank), Tina, Michelle; grandchildren Lee, Ryley, Callie, Raymond; step-grandchildren as well as many nephews, nieces, cousins, aunts, uncles and friends. Eleanor was predeceased by her father Mervin Olson and her beloved grandparents Donald and Gladys. Eleanor was born in Prince George and raised in Strathnaver, Quesnel and Little Fort. She went to Barriere High School after moving to Little Fort in 1962. Eleanor returned to Quesnel

and met and married Donald Backer, July 18, 1970. They had two children together, Diahanna Lee and Lionel. Eleanor and Frank re-united in 1994, they had ﬁrst met while living in Little Fort and had dated in high school, they continued their relationship for the next 18 years. Frank lovingly cared for Eleanor during this past year while she courageously struggled through four major operations and numerous trips to the hospital. From this relationship Eleanor had the good fortune to meet and be involved with Frank’s children and stepchildren along with her own children. Eleanor had a terriﬁc sense of humour and would always tell it like it is. Eleanor lived in Chu Chua and worked in Barriere at Re/Max Realty, while there Eleanor got to know lots of folks in the Valley. Eleanor retired last July 2011 so she and Frank could spend time traveling

which was a dream of theirs. Unfortunately she got sick in August and just when she thought things were looking better she got cancer and never recovered. Eleanor was loved by everyone who knew her and will be greatly missed. By request there will be no funeral service, but there will be a gathering to Celebrate Eleanor’s life at the Quesnel Legion, October 13, 2012 at 2:00pm. Note: Donations in Eleanor’s name may be made to the Chu Chua Fire Department, PO Box 220, Barriere, BC V0E 1E0, or the North Thompson Valley Hospice House Society, PO Box 1, Little Fort, BC, V0E 2C0

The Big Chore I sat today in my kitchen bright, And looked upon an awesome sight, I wondered who would rejoice with me, Of such a joyous picture see. I reach my hand to start the chose, I’m sure I hear a mighty roar, They snap, they pop, they race to hide, While others join the wayward side. One round and plus, runs along my kitchen floor, And hides behind the bedroom door, I hear, I know, a giggle there, As he’s joined with a boisterous pair. I’ll find you all, you wait and see, You’re not that good at alluding me. I’ve seen your kind many times before, No table, chair or bedroom door,

Can escape my eagle eye for long, Soon you will sing a different song. I take a rest, my deed is done, Come out, you guys, you’ve had your fun. Quiet as mice they seem to lay, Not quite listening to a word I say, I go and fetch my big blue broom, And finish up their gloom and doom. I put them in a closed in space, Sympathy; I have not a trace. Upon the stove in a pot they go, With temps turned down on low, They join the potatoes, carrots in a creamy sauce, There you guys, you see who’s boss. What am I doing, you ask me? Oh I’ll tell you now. I’m shelling peas. June Harnden Anderson

The Hay Field Out to the field, to cut the hay; Ahead of us is a busy day. We then rake it in a row; And bale it up, so more will grow. The job is tedious, the day is hot; A limited time is all we’ve got. In the evening we’ll haul it in; Because tomorrow will soon begin. Off to the barn, to stack it neat; Beating the heat is our big feat. Very soon it’s stacked and piled; But not before our tempers are riled. All too soon, summer’s come to an end; Do we have enough hay? It will all

The days are long and something boring; For in the sky the clouds are soaring. It’s all worth while, now we are done; It actually was a lot of fun. Elaine Couldwell

There upon the window sill, It captures ev’ry beam. It stores them up and sends them out Much richer, it would seem. Just feel it’s solid beauty. The lines are round and clean. You touch a part of days gone by In molded glass of green.

It heard when it was young; When the wires whispered to it, While on the pole it hung. Just perhaps, it heard about The death of some one grand. No doubt, it heard about a war That raged across the land. All it heard, I cannot know. The present, I can see. It warms the heart to contemplate What beauty there can be. Dwight Dodge

The candy stores got plenty of visits, with out pockets filled with a dime or nickel or penny, Bubble gum, suckers, licorice sticks, gum drops and caramels were just

some of the many. Every day the meals were prepared with love from Mom, Over baked roast beef, garden fresh vegetables, mashed potatoes and gravy and then some. Our family all gathered around the kitchen table as evening fell, And after supper, the dishes were done, we watched TV and that’s when all was well. Debbie C. Rosenau

From the northern wind Will ever calm Or comfort him ~ As the full moon bleeds Beyond existence A clean slate now Could be his difference ~ But his hindsight sheds No lasting light As the north wind greets The sapphire night ~ Matt Merna

Välkommen till Leksand Local heads to Europe for hockey

Shelby Ballendine playing for the University of Lethbridge Pronghorns. Ballendine is moving on to play professional hockey in Sweden. Photo contributed

JONAS GAGNON Observer Reporter For Shelby Ballendine, this winter promises to be an adventure on skates as she pursues her passion – hockey – all the way to Sweden. Ballendine, who is waiting for her flight details to get worked out, is going to Leksand to play hockey for the Leksand IF, or in full: Leksands Idrottsförening. Leksand is a small town of around 5,000 people 300 km northwest of Stockholm in Swedenand a long ways from home. There Ballendine, who is a forward, will play in the highest

league for women in Sweden, in a town which is famous for its hockey teams. After she finished University, Ballendine, who played junior hockey here in Quesnel, decided to try searching abroad for a chance to continue playing hockey. With the tryouts and meetings with coaches getting on a team usually entails, becoming a part of an international team seems a long, difficult affair with plenty of hurdles on the path. The internet, however, helped Ballendine jump them all with one small step for the internet and a huge leap for Ballendine. “Youtube videos and email,

that’s how I did it,” Ballendine said. She posted videos of herself playing hockey online, where coaches from all over the world could see her play. This worked in lieu of tryouts. Then she started talking to coaches and managers, until she found one who liked her videos and had a spot on his team. He liked her enough that he brought her onto the team without ever having met her in person. Here in Quesnel, Brian Kozak, head of the Quesnel Acceleration Centre and Shelby’s boss, will be missing her hard work. “For sure I’ll miss her. I definitely could have used her this winter,” Kozak said. Ballendine has trained with Kozak for 8 years and has now taken over as a trainer herself. With her hard work and dedication, she has become a great example for girls here in Quesnel, said Kozak. “Having Shelby here, because mostly we have males here, with her success, she’s a great example for the girls,” Kozak said. Though Ballendine doesn’t see

herself as the example Kozak does, she enjoys coaching the girls and sharing her experiences. “Working here and working with younger girl athletes, it’s a great opportunity to see them come up and help them out the best you can, like giving advice on university hockey,” Ballendine said. Having a female role model is good for the local girls, because it can be difficult pursuing hockey, as a girl, here in Quesnel. “Either they have to go to Prince George to play or play with the Quesnel boys’ team, like Cheyann Newmann, which is a little different. She has to get dressed by herself and comes into the room after. There are a lot more mental differences being with a guys team. So they have to be mentally tougher,” Kozak said. Ballendine herself played her way through boys’ hockey, which she credits with making her a tougher player. “It was a lot of fun and I learned a lot from them,” she said of her years with rep boys teams. “The games faster and you

have to keep your head up because there’s hitting. So that helped a lot.” Moving on to her next step in her hockey career is exciting for Ballendine. She is looking forward to this next step and the level of play it promises, she said. So while there’s excitement for hockey, there’s a bit of nervousness as well, specifically with regards to language. She has been assured, however, that most Swedish people speak passable English. “Apparently they all take English while growing up and they can speak it pretty fluently. They say it’s not that bad of a language barrier,” she said. And she knows the manager of the team can speak English, because she’s spoken with him, and hopes the coach can. One of only two international players on the team, the other being an American defensemen, Ballendine is diving head first into a new culture, which she finds interesting. She hopes to learn about Swedish culture and how they live. And when she comes back next summer she’ll have planty of stories to tell her trainees.

Spartans run to victory in Prince George JONAS GAGNON Observer Reporter The QJS Spartans were in Prince George last weekend to run. And run they did, finishing the run with racers peppered throughout the top finishers in various classes. The QJS girls did well, catching a first and second in bantam and juvenile categories. Grace McTaggart, running for QJS in the bantam girls category, took first in her group, as well as sixth over all in the female category, the only bantam girl in the top ten. Kyra Teetzen took second in the Juvenile category for QJS.

This is the first time in 40 years the B.C. High School Cross Country Running Championships will be held in Prince George, at DP Todd Secondary, a fact that QJS coach, Scott Trueman is happy about. “Usually our runners must make the long journey to the Lower Mainland or Vancouver Island, but not this time, our runners will have the advantage of running on a familiar course,” Trueman said. Correlieu has as of yet to field their entire team in a meet. This, however, should change as the two schools will be hosting a race at 10 Mile Lake this Saturday, starting at 11:00.

High pace of life Your intrepid reporter sitting in the driver’s seat after scaring himself in Terry Braman’s #52 mini stock at the QARA track. The QARA season is now over and I was allowed to endanger the life of a car since a whole winter season lays ahead to repair it prior to the next race. No damage was done to anything, except perhaps shortened life on the tires after having entered corner three a little hot, a little too hard on the brakes, which ended in a bit of not-so-spectaucular looking (but oh-so-scary-feeling) sideways driving.

Outlaws end on high note JONAS GAGNON Observer Reporter The peewee Design Flooring Outlaws girls’ softball team nabbed second down south at the Pepsi challenge. With three wins, and only a single loss over the tournament, the team finished off their season with a bang. "It was a great way to end," Paige Flanagan, the team's coach, said. "Hard work and dedication was what did it." Their first game, the Outlaws ran up against Kamloops. The southern team, however, gave them no problems as the

girls posted 18 runs against the Kamloops girls’ lonely three. Sooke, however, gave the girls a run, sneaking by the Outlaws 6-8. That didn't seem to affect the girls performance against Prince George. The Outlaws took the game 14-3. The roll continued through their game against Coquitlam. The girls once again managed 14 trips home, versus Coquitlam’s two. The pitching team of Carli Gibbs and Amanda Lawrence did great, said Flanagan, with Aiyana Basi and Janelle Izzard offering back up when needed. Kyra Buchan played

well on first base, with many great catches and plays for outs. Tianna Brookes also played a great four games on third. Christina and Amanda Lawrence managed three home runs between them, two in the final game. Flanagan said she is proud of her team's performance both on and off the field, praising her team for good conduct and allaround politeness as they faced off against their competitors. Now the team will retreat to the gym as the cold weather washes over the interior, readying itself for spring of next year.

Mad moose marathon Results

The Family Veronica Built

The event was the Mad Moose Marathon in Prince George Sept. 23. The trail running family that Veronica McIlvenna has built through her years of offering running groups and clinics was evident today. It inspired me to write about the support of a group I was proud to be a part of. It was a chilly September morning, beautiful blue sky, bright sunshine and no real â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mad Mooseâ&#x20AC;? to be seen. What you did see was the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Qtown Cutiesâ&#x20AC;?, a group of trail runners in search of this â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mad Mooseâ&#x20AC;?. Quesnel was well represented by participants and as many supporters. The true inspiration of this story comes from the words spoken by Rio Dinu who was the first female Ultra Marathoner (63km) to cross the finish line 6 hours 58 minutes after her dark 5 a.m. start. She was welcomed at the finish line by a crowd of supporters from Quesnel, some participants in the other marathon categories and many who just came to support. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Running really is not an individual sport, we couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do it without you guys!â&#x20AC;? Rio later said. Order Photos On-line 24/7

This is so true and we really felt it today. As every Quesnel participant finished their respective race, each one stuck around and cheered on our fellow â&#x20AC;&#x153;Qtown Cutiesâ&#x20AC;?, helping us get across that finish line and sharing in some emotional firsts. At the end of the day it felt like a Quesnel event, we were all that were left. As I shared in the infectious enthusiasm I looked around and saw a family of friends who were brought together by weekly group runs and direction and dedication from McIlvennaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s passion for the trails. I was so proud to be considered one of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Qtown Cutiesâ&#x20AC;? today, even though it may have been only by associationâ&#x20AC;Ś Events are what bring us together as a team. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the friends and family that came with you and the strangers youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re competing againstâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;after all it is called a race. They are all giving cheers and words of encouragement. Running truly is not an individual sport. Check out an event and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll see. Contributed by Candace Miller, proprietor of Reason2Run and Mad Moose runner.

SEASON TICKETS

JONAS GAGNON Observer Reporter A healthy contingent of Gold Pan City residents made their way up to Prince George last weekend to take part in the Mad Moose Marathon. The Marathon had more than a few firsts this year. For the marathon organizers it was the first year they hosted an Ultra Marathon. For Rio Dinu, a Gold Pan City resident, it was her first marathon and her first first in an ultra marathon. Dinu was excited by her unforeseen success, running 63 km at 6:58:16. She said it was tough because the course followed a trail, which meant it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a smooth track, adding uneven footing to the tiring nature of the long run. She said there was great camaraderie amongst the Quesnel contingent which added to the enjoyable nature of

the event. Many of the run club that Dinu runs with were out there on the course along with her, taking part in the ultra, half or full marathon. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s these people who helped Dinu get to the condition she is in. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just want to thank all the people in my running clinic, because theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re the ones who help me train,â&#x20AC;? Dinu said. A total of 16 runners made the pilgrimage up to Prince George to take part in the run, including Dinu. Dino Aracki finished in the top five in the menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s full marathon, covering 42 km in 4:09:30. Jocelyn Loomis, Nicole Aracki, Michelle Rodger and Joanne Peacock ran the womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s full marathon finishing sixth through ninth in the category. Kevin Sturt managed to break into the top ten in the menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s half marathon, finishing in seventh, at 1:39:07.
