Liberal candidate Coralee Oakes wins MLA seat for Cariboo North ANNIE GALLANT Observer Reporter
As polls closed across the province and numbers started to roll in, the Liberals took an early lead and never gave it up. Cariboo North saw incumbent Bob Simpson and first-time Liberal candidate Coralee Oakes running neck and neck with NDP’s Duncan Barnett remaining in third place. By approximately 9 p.m. it was evident Oakes was pulling away from Simpson. By about 9:30 p.m. Oakes supporters marched into the room
energetically waving campaign signs followed by a jubilant Oakes whose journey to the stage was slowed with frequent stops to embrace supporters and well-wishers. The mood in the room was triumphant. “This campaign has been the greatest experience of my life so far,� Oakes said to thunderous applause. “I want to congratulate Bob and Duncan for an outstanding job in this campaign.� She went on to say she’d been worried about the campaign but happily re-

ported it was an amazing journey. “Bob has been an outstanding representative for this riding for the past eight years,� Oakes said. She assured the crowd she was ready for the challenges ahead. Simpson had agreed prior to the election to assist Oakes in her transition to MLA for Cariboo North should she win. “The fact he’s offered to support me in transition just speaks volumes for who Bob is,� she said. As for Simpson, he was gracious in his
concession speech. He told his team of well-wishers they should be “celebrating the outcome,� adding most political pundits did not predict his numbers. Simpson lost the election by just over 500 votes and garnered a 37.28 per cent share of the riding votes. “We ran a no regrets campaign,� he said. “We gave voters a different option.� Simpson thanked his team for their hard work and dedication and ended his concession speech with a heartfelt nod to his

Oakes to address. Barnett thanked his team and all those who supported him. “I learned a lot and I hope you did too,� he said. Barnett secured 21.46 per cent of the voters support. After Oakes was declared the winner, Barnett made his way to her campaign celebration to wish her well on her win. Simpson phoned Oakes and reminded her of his offer to assist in her transition to her new job as Liberal MLA for Cariboo North.

Waste not, want not
Water conservation is everyone’s responsibility The people who keep your water clean and safe—BC Water & Waste Association — together with the Province of BC and numerous municipalities, have proclaimed May 20 – 26 as Drinking Water Week in British Columbia. “Drinking Water Week is a time to celebrate and value our water as a vital and finite resource we need to conserve and protect,” Daisy Foster, CEO of the
4,700-member BC Water & Waste Association said. “We hope people will learn more about their water, including where it comes from, where it goes and the people and processes behind it, as well as what they can do to protect it.” “People may think we have an endless supply of water here in B.C. and their actions don’t really make a difference but that is simply not the case,”
Foster added. “Increases to our population, the growth of industry and agriculture and the effects of climate change all place enormous pressure on our water supply.” Foster says British Columbians are making strides in reducing water consumption, but still have a way to go. “The average B.C. resident uses about 353 litres of water per day,

down from 429 litres in previous years, but that is still more than the Canadian average of 274 litres. Most B.C. residents think they use 200 litres or less per day.” Water consumption can go up by as much as 50 per cent in the summer months. Avoiding or reducing lawn watering, or replacing lawns with shrubs and plants can greatly reduce water use. Driveways consisting of
surfaces such as gravel or interlocking stones instead of paved surfaces are best for water supply systems because they allow rainwater and melted snow to seep slowly into the ground. But even knowing this, 55 per cent of British Columbians are reluctant to change their driveways to an unpaved surface, Foster said. BC Water & Waste Association encourages
In BC we may take our water for granted, but it is a finite resource we need to value and protect.

WQLS program Open House slated for May 23
An open house detailing the West Quesnel Land Stability Program has been scheduled for Thursday, May 23 in the gymnasium at Voyageur Elementary School, 1337 Lark Avenue. The session begins at 6 p.m., with city staff and engineering consultants on hand to speak with residents in a one-on-one setting. This will be followed by a formal presentation at 7 p.m., which will outline the work that is scheduled to take place this year as well as the results of the work completed in 2012. “Finding a lasting solution to the West Quesnel Land Stability issue is a top priority of City Council, one we have dedicated a great deal of time and funding to,” Mayor Mary Sjostrom said. “On behalf of council, I offer my sincere thanks to all the residents and property owners in the study area who have worked with us throughout the process to make this program a success.” Councillor Mike Cave, Chair
of the West Quesnel Land Stability Advisory Committee said “this open house is yet another avenue that allows the City of Quesnel to reach out and let people know about the progress we’re making. I encourage people to attend the open house, speak one-on-one with our engineers and learn more about the project.” As part of an ongoing public information campaign, the City recently sent a newsletter to all residents and businesses within the City boundaries, as well as out-of-town property owners. The newsletter, sent at the beginning of May, highlighted the plans for this year and provided a brief look at the progress to date. It also encouraged all residents to attend the open house as the project affects all Quesnel taxpayers. The 2012 full-scale dewatering program was a $4.731 million project designed to help reduce land movement in the

Relay for Life scheduled for May 25
elay For Life is fast approaching in Quesnel and we are very excited for our 12th annual event. Relay is the premiere fundraising event of the year for the Canadian Cancer Society and the money raised makes a big difference in the lives of those battling cancer. With only one week to go, we are encouraging everyone in the Quesnel area to participate in Relay For Life in some way. Whether it be purchasing a bag of gingersnaps from the Quesnel Bakery, making a donation to a friend or family member who is fundraising, or purchasing a luminary, you can make a difference in the fight against cancer. Luminary bags are an important part of Relay For Life. For the past several weeks, our volunteers have been
out in the community selling the luminaries that will line the track during the Remember Ceremony at relay. When you purchase a luminary to honour someone who is fighting cancer or remember someone who has been lost, you are also providing a message of hope to all those who have or are dealing with cancer. A message that their struggle is not forgotten and that we are fighting back against cancer on their behalf. Luminaries will be available at the Quesnel Farmers’ Market on Saturday, May 18 and are also available at the Quesnel Visitor Centre until Friday. May 24. They will also be available at the information tent at Relay For Life. You can write your own message of hope on the bag
when you purchase it, take it home to decorate and bring back to Relay, or give our team of calligraphers a message to write for you. Whatever way you choose, we encourage you to purchase a luminary in honour of someone you know or as a symbol of hope to any and all fighting cancer. As Relay For Life approaches, we would like to thank Quesnel for all of its generous support in donations, sponsorship, volunteering, attendance to Relay. We hope that the support will continue and that we will see you all at Relay For Life on May 25.

Are you ready
to renovate?
Stain your exterior woodwork with confidence Do-It-Yourself:
THE TIME HAS ARRIVED
To take advantage of our quality paint at low prices! One coat hides the wood grain without obscuring the natural surface texture of rough or smooth woods.
(NC)—The look you want for doors, windows, shutters, moldings, fences, and decks can be achieved by applying the right colour and type of stain in an attractive combination. Here are the answers to the most frequently asked questions on this home improvement topic from www.olympic.com. Q: I want the natural wood grain to come through on my front door, but not on the shutters, so how do I vary the stains to achieve that look? A: You can get at least four different looks depending upon the stain you choose. A clear stain will allow the wood to weather gray naturally. A toner stain delivers a slight hint of colour as it maintains the natural beauty of wood. A semi-transparent stain applies subtle colour that still allows the wood grain and texture to show. A solid stain is a rich opaque covering that also allows the texture of the wood to show. To save time when doing it yourself, the Olympic Maximum stain-and-sealant-in-one line is a very popular choice. Q: How do I know when it’s time to re-stain? A: Over several seasons, weather and UV exposure causes stain to break down and then it allows moisture to enter the wood. Test the questionable finish by placing a small amount of water on it for a few seconds. If, after a couple minutes, the water soaks in, the wood should be re-stained. If the water droplets remain on the surface, the stain is still effective. It’s important to determine the integrity of the stain on the wood before recoating as different procedures apply.

Q: What steps are necessary to ensure that the stain on my deck has a long life?
PRESENTS
A: Start by stripping off any existing stain (a specialized deck cleaner is also available from Olympic) and then sand the surface to remove loose wood fibers and any contamination. This will ensure that the new coating is evenly absorbed. Make sure to follow the product directions when applying the new stain. Q: What is the one best tip to make sure my project turns out the way I want it? A: Do a patch test. This will allow you to see how the finish will look and give you the opportunity to make any necessary adjustments as to cleaning, colour, or application method.

NCLGA AGM a success in Quesnel
Mayor praises council and community for a job well done
I
am so proud as your Mayor that our City Council, back in January, supported hosting the 58th annual North Central Local Government Association’s Annual General Meeting in Quesnel from May 1 – 3. This was not only a fabulous opportunity to showcase our community but a tremendous economic generator for our local business community! We hosted a total of 260 delegates, 19 partners and 45 involved in the trade shows for a grand total of 324 guests for three days! Using fairly conservative estimates, the convention may have brought in approximately $275,000 to the City of Quesnel.

entire community for being such wonderful hosts! The agenda for the conference included 28 resolutions and workshops that addressed rising issues to local government. The issues of
infrastructure, finances, conflicts of interest, transportation, men’s health, community forests, climate (achievements and priorities) and wildfire management planning were just
some of the issues included in the agenda. We had the extreme honour of hosting former Member of Parliament and keynote speaker Deb Grey and Federation of Canadian Municipalities President Karen Leibovici. Our local accessibility leaders Alison Duddy and Lynn Turner were honoured with a Measuring Up The North (MUTN) Award of Excellence for their initiative of access parking! These MUTN Awards of Excellence recognize local governments, businesses, groups or individuals who have shown innovation and ingenuity in their quest to build more livable, age-friendly, disability-friendly universally designed inclusive communities for all residents and visitors in the NCLGA region. I often speak of partnerships and their value to our
community. Our Northern Directors and the Cariboo Regional District were also among our many sponsors. Our retiring NCLGA Executive Director Maxine Koppe and long-time Master of Ceremonies Kevin Brown were both recognized with a well-deserved Lifetime Membership along with ast president Mitch Campsall.

VlA properties pose a problem
“Concern was expressed by town council Monday for the seven V.L.A. homeowners who are not included within the Red Bluff Fire Protection area. It was suggested that some formula be worked out to offer the residents fire protection on a pro rata basis in view of their proximity to the town. It was previously disclosed in council that Red Bluff residents will pay a 3.3 mill rate levy.”
extend Water main to Carson subdivision
“A six-inch town water main will be extended into the new Carson Estate subdivision project. This was decided by town council Monday evening, when it was disclosed that the subdivision water system would be ready to tie into a main by the end of the week. Utilities foreman Jules Cappan stated that approximately 60 feet of pipe would have to be run, but suggested the main be carried to the east side of Johnston Drive to provide easier access and for future expansion.” This Column is to highlight our 50th Anniversary

OPINIONS
Women’s equality A
re women in society slacking off on their quest for equality with men? They have come a long way in the last few decades and successfully changed attitudes of much of the population, but they have not found the full equality with their male counterparts. From politics to business there is still some way to travel. In British Columbia only about 25 per cent of the members of the legislature are women, still a long ways from the reasonable goal of 50 per cent. That is the state of affairs in the legislature of one of the more progressive provinces in Canada. In the world of business they have not fared much better than the world of politics. Despite women showing their obvious ability in the business arena, few occupy the senior executive positions of the larger companies. It would seem that women have to be considerably better than their male competitors to be elevated to those lofty ranks. There are a few exceptions, but they seem too often be a token effort to show equality in a male-dominated world. There is no question of ability. Many women have been very successful in starting, managing and growing their own businesses. On average they are more successful than their male counterparts in business start-ups. Men and women are different and let us be thankful for that. While the physiology of women is designed to do things men cannot, their brains and the application of their intelligence is as good as that of men. If progress is going to be continued to be made, the battle will have to be fought by women. They may very well have many men as their allies, but it is they who will have to keep the heat on to keep the pot boiling. The smartest thing we men can do is applaud their efforts and give support. It is long past time for all of us to shed the remains of our medieval attitudes. –Prince George Free Press

Clark’s win confounds the ‘experts’
T
he pollsters, pundits and the self-styled rebels of the B.C. Liberal Party were struggling for answers as their conventional wisdom went out the window on election night. In came the B.C. Liberals and Christy Clark for a fourth term, with a 50-seat majority that is stronger than the one they took into the 2013 election. “Welcome to the club,” Alberta Premier Alison Redford wrote on Twitter on election night, referring to Redford’s own win in the face of a wall of polls and pontificators saying she was done. Here’s the next thing to ignore from the media experts who rub shoulders with those pollsters and political strategists. It’s all about the negative ads, they will say, and NDP leader Adrian Dix’s big mistake was to run a “positive” campaign. Rubbish. Was their long fight against the harmonized sales tax a positive campaign? Is piling on sham environmental reviews for the express purpose of killing industrial projects a positive idea? “Clearly our message
Tom Fletcher
B.C. Views didn’t get out the way we wanted it to get out,” Dix said after watching one of the biggest comebacks in Canadian political history. That’s rubbish too. He got his message out just fine, serving it up in bitesized pieces in a classic front-runner’s campaign that cynically put off the most difficult choices. He was going to expand government, and restrict industrial development to appease urban voters. Dix’s most dramatic policy shift contributed to his undoing. Mid-campaign, in a decision that surprised even his platform cochairs, Dix turned against the proposal to twin the TransMountain oil pipeline that winds across B.C. from Alberta to Burnaby. Well, not the pipeline itself, but the prospect of more oil tankers in and out of
Clark should heed the NDP on at least one thing. Dix promised to move B.C. election dates to the fall, starting in 2017. The idea of giving his anticipated government an extra six months to govern the province was uncontroversial when Dix proposed it in his party’s election platform, so Clark will probably proceed with it. Another NDP idea Clark should adopt is getting the corporate and union money out of election campaigns. She likely won’t, because her party’s financial advantage is too great, but the time has come for this important reform. The B.C. Liberals’ muchdiscussed “balanced” budget will now be put to the test over the next few months. The legislature must be convened by September to debate that budget. This should be the last vote based on an untested budget and the first of many scheduled fall legislature sessions.

Vancouver harbour. At least now, more people will understand that Vancouver has been an oil port for nearly a century, and that Canada’s future includes energy development. More people should also appreciate that environmental assessment is not a political game. Andrew Weaver made history as B.C.’s first Green Party MLA. He came out swinging against Clark’s economic holy grail, development of liquefied natural gas exports from the North Coast. Weaver calls LNG a “pipe dream” that will never materialize. It will be interesting to watch him as he is proved wrong on that, and then as he grapples with gas as a transition fuel that can be used to develop clean energy infrastructure. B.C. Conservative leader John Cummins ran a distant third in his Langley constituency, and his goal of a breakthrough didn’t materialize anywhere. His idea of scrapping the carbon tax on fossil fuels didn’t impress many people, despite his focus on rural and northern B.C.

Local residant finds council decision offensive Editor: Quesnel City Council proves ‘honesty is not the best policy’. The mayor and council’s ruling on the following issue is offensive, to say the least. Residents of Leonard Street petitioned with an astounding 90 per cent opposition to the rezoning of their street but it was passed anyway. A nonresident of the subdivision purchased a house on the
Letters to the Editor
single-family dwelling zoned street. He made major renovations; dividing the house into two units for rental, without permits or inspections. The residents’ concerns about safety, parking, traffic and single family dwelling zoning were of no concern to council. The message is clear. Honesty is not the best policy.
I feel as if we are living in the Wild West where lawlessness prevailed. Words cannot describe the disappointment I feel for one man, in particular, on council, as I thought him to be a decent, thoughtful, honest man. I was wrong about his character and several others, as well. One council member had the audacity to thank the landlord in question
for coming forward and going about the correct process “because we have a lot of illegal suites in Quesnel already.” He obviously did not hear one word from the many residents who attended that council meeting or perhaps he was unable to comprehend the reason we were there. This landlord did not abide by the correct process; he was caught
after creating an illegal suite (without permits or inspections). City bylaws are not being honoured by council. So, my fellow citizens, if you are planning to build, renovate, or create an illegal suite, now is the time, while we have current council, unfortunately, is in power. The message they have sent to me and to many others is that the city
bylaws are worthless. They have set the precedent. I would like to give big thank you to Councillor Sushil Thapar for being the only council member with the manners and common decency to explain his decision to the many residents and voters in attendance at the meeting in question.

Clark working hard on the campaign trail but failed to secure her own riding. Black Press photo
Clark in no rush to seek seat TOM FLETCHER Black Press Premier Christy Clark said she will wait until election results are finalized and she has met with her 49 MLAs before deciding where to seek a seat to replace the one she lost Tuesday. NDP challenger David Eby defeated Clark by more than 700 votes in Vancouver-Point Grey, knocking on doors while Clark traveled the province on the leader’s tour. At a news conference Wednesday, Clark shrugged
off the loss, saying the seat was closely contested when Gordon Campbell held it and also had little time to campaign there. Asked repeatedly about polls that predicted her doom, Clark noted that she discussed that briefly with Prime Minister Stephen Harper when he called to congratulate her on winning the party’s fourth term. And she offered some advice on polling to reporters who gathered at the Vancouver cabinet offices. “You guys get this stuff for
Pipeline pivotal, Clark says JEFF NAGEL Black Press Kinder Morgan’s proposed twinning of the Trans Mountain oil pipeline through the Lower Mainland looks more likely with the B.C. Liberals staying in power than if the NDP had won Tuesday’s election. NDP leader Adrian Dix had vowed to block a big increase in oil tanker exports from Metro Vancouver. His reversal of a previous pledge to wait for a formal project application became a major campaign issue. Speaking to reporters Wednesday, Premier Christy Clark said she believed the TV debate was the turning point of the campaign for the Liberal rebound and that the NDP’s Kinder Morgan position was a factor. Clark said voters weren’t impressed by “the idea that you’re going to say ‘No’ to economic development before you even see it.” She stressed the province will put any Kinder Morgan proposal to the same requirements as the planned Enbridge Northern Gateway pipeline to Kitimat, including world-leading safeguards against ocean and land spills as well as a substantial share of benefits for B.C.’s risk. “The five conditions aren’t going to change,” Clark said. “Any expansion of heavy oil is going to have to meet those five conditions.” The Trans Mountain pipeline from northern Alberta to Burnaby has operated for more than 50 years but Kinder Morgan wants to nearly triple its flow to 890,000 barrels per day, resulting in many more oil tankers plying Vancouver harbour.
free,” Clark said. “You should take it for what it’s worth.” Results don’t become official until May 27, and there could still be changes in current legislature: 50 B.C. Liberals, 33 NDP MLAs, B.C. Green Andrew Weaver and Delta South independent Vicki Huntington. Clark said she regrets the loss of cabinet ministers Ida Chong and Margaret MacDiarmid, but she is pleased to have a balance of 25 returning MLAs and 25 newcomers in the B.C. Liberal caucus.

With a lot of help from the community and dedicated volunteers, the new community garden at 325 Lewis Drive is about to take off. There are a host of thank yous due. The city gave permission for use of the area beside the skating rink and put in a water line and Community Futures provided the funding for a fence. West Fraser donated fir 2 x 10s for raised beds and Cariboo Peat and Gravel donated bark mulch for pathways. The Quesnel Community Foundation is paying for tools, topsoil, landscape fabric, the water system and the materials for a tool shed. CNC carpentry students are building the tool shed. The Rotary club is donating materials for a gazebo. Community residents and volunteers from the downtown community garden and the Climate Change Food Working group have been working at the site for several weeks now and the rock herb spiral has been built, the raised beds are full of soil, some of the pathways are covered in bark mulch. The compost system has been started and has a convenient opening in the fence for drop-off of kitchen and garden waste. The Rotary youth have dug the raspberry patch and helped with spreading the soil into beds. So, on Sunday, May 26 at noon, the garden will be ready for planting and the neighbourhood is invited to come and pitch in. A potluck lunch will help the workers keep their energy up. The regular group will be there and new participants are most welcome. Telus workers are also coming to plant fruit trees and donate hand tools. With some sweat equity, local people will be able to harvest the results and eat well throughout the summer. At Plant Day, regular work bee times will be set so that the garden can be maintained and a bumper harvest can be picked throughout the season. – submitted by Maureen Trotter

Claudia and baby Cloud are happily living at Crooked Leg Ranch.

Claudie and Cloud doing well at ranch
Claudia’s herd was being sold! She was to have a new home but the new owner rejected her because there was something wrong with one of her eyes! The Crooked Leg Ranch was called and off they went, in Old Betsy the truck, to pick up Claudia the llama. Apparently, she had been harassed and somehow her eye became infected. So, $500 later, a surgeon removed her eye and she returned to the ranch to recuperate. Carmen and Claire, Crooked Leg Tails already ranch veterans, welcomed Claudia to their home. Due to the trauma that Claudia had endured, the focus was on creating a loving environment for her so the llamas did what llamas do and they ate their way to happiness. All was calm until about a year later, Carmen and Claire appeared at the house, somehow escaping their enclosure. They were agitated as if they had been scared by something but Claudia was nowhere to be found. Searchers called and walked the ranch. Several hours later, they found Claudia standing in a low swampy area at the far end of a field and as the searchers got closer, a small white head popped up. Claudia had given birth! The area was soft but wet so they picked up the baby llama and turned for home. Claudia started to hum. She let them carry her baby and continued to hum as they crossed the field. The humming attracted the horses and they started to follow. The humming attracted Humphrey so he joined the cue. The humming was joined by the other llamas and soon there were many four-legged welcomers surrounding the baby. As Claudia waited on the porch, the cria (baby llama) was carried into the house where the family first thought it was a poodle. Closer inspection soon found that this new addition was a llama! They dried it and cleaned it and then made a home for Claudia and her baby in the pony pen. As it happened to be a tough emotional time for the family so this creature was seen as a mini miracle and they named him Zachary Cloud. All four llamas are doing well, Carmen, Claire, Claudia and Cloud, in their sanctuary at the ranch. For more information, please contact: www. crookedlegranch.com

Juniors hit the course in search of glory A host of young men in search of the perfect putt and the cleanest drive descended on the Quesnel Golf Course to play for the chance to be declared best in their zone and compete on the provincial stage. The weather played along, for the most part, though it did trap a couple teams in the rain before the golfing was through. The Correlieu golf team took third in ‘AAA’, with College Heights just edging them out for second and PGSS with a strong grasp on first. “We are especially proud of Corey Redden from Correlieu who received the Longest Drive for ‘AAA’ and the lowest score for ‘AAA’, with a 79 helping his team get a bronze,” Lori Tresierra-Durocher, Athletic Director for Quesnel Jr. School, said. Quinn Ferris of PGSS got the KP, and Blair Scott, also of PGSS, took the longest Putt Columneetza handily took first in ‘AA’, followed by DP Todd second and Nechako Valley third, only a stroke apart.
Columneetza’s Derick Walters took the lowest score in ‘AA’ and in the tournament, at 76. Robert Byron from Nechako Valley had the longest drive. Koltin Chasse of DP Todd had the KP. QJS golfer Shaymus Christie had the longest put in ‘AA’. Only two teams competed in the ‘A’ zones, with Chetwynd beating Fraser Lake handily. Chetwynd also dominated the individual awards. Jason Kearns had the lowest score. Dayton Waldie had the longest drive and the longest putt. Both golfers were from Chetwynd. Golfers from Prince George, Chetwynd, Fraser Lake, Williams Lake and Nechako Valley gathered in town for zones in weather that vaccilated between sunny and threatening rain. Across three categories, A – AAA, 44 golfers played their 18 holes. Golfers were grouped in threes, irrespective of school affiliation and accompanied by a coach.

Waveriders get ‘A’s in Kamloops JONAS GAGNON Observer Reporter A trio of Waveriders made their way to Kelowna to a major meet over the weekend. "The competition was tough but our swimmers stepped up and represented the Waveriders very well," coach Jeritt Brink said. Sonny Cervienka, Natasha Hanson and Garnet Currie made the trip south. Currie, 12, came in fourth overall in the 11 – 12-year-old male category. On the way, Currie didn't finish below fourth in any of his eight races. He finished first in 100 breaststroke, second in the 200 individual medley, the 400 free and the 100 free, came in third in 200 breaststroke and 200 free and fourth in the 50 fly and 1500 free. During the competition, Currie also beat his old personal bests in seven out of eight of his events. After taking three more 'AAA' times, in 200 breaststroke, 100 free and 400 free, Currie will net be in action in July at the 'AAA' provincials at UBC. Hanson, 12, had a successful competition as well, breaking three personal bests, one of which, in 200 backstroke, got her another 'AA' time. She also took a podium finish in 200 backstroke at second, and 100 backstroke, at third. She also took fourth in 50 fly, seventh in 50 free and 50 backstroke and eighth in the 400 free. Cervienka, 15, made his 'A' time in the 100 free, at 1:08. He also made the finals in both 50 breaststroke and in 200 breaststroke, finishing seventh in the former and ninth in the latter. Cervienka also beat his personal best in four events. The event drew almost 400 swimmers, with teams coming from as far away as Calgary to compete. The Waveriders will swim again in Kamloops, June 7 – 9.

JONAS GAGNON Observer Reporter
The Two Rivers Boxing Club had a disappointing weekend, posting a stopped fight and a close loses in Prince George. Dan Mott opened the evening against Randal Graham of Shaolin boxing which was called in the second round due to Mott's bleeding nose. The bout started a bit slow, but ramped up as the first round continued. Mott said he was keeping up with Graham, despite punching above his weight class. The second continued with Mott and Graham trading punches, but after a couple of upper-cuts, Mott's nose began to bleed and the ref stopped the fight to wipe his face. When the bleeding didn't stop, the doctor stopped the bout. "I've never seen anything like that before," Mott said. "Wally (Doern) said he's never seen that before in his career. We found out later it was the doctor's first time calling a fight." Lucas Gelinas took on Calvin Tedesco, fighting out of Shaolin boxing as well. In Gelinas' second bout of his boxing career, he lost in a split decision after three rounds. The bout started out slow and even in the first round, before ramping up to a bit of a slugfest, with boxers standing toe to toe and unloading. In the second, Gelinas started to get winded and took a couple hits, but started to get his wind back in the third, taking it to Tedesco. The burst of energy turned out to be to late and Tedesco took the win, leaving Gelinas at an even one and one record. Before Doern could leave ringside, the officials and the coaches called him to the ring and awarded him with a picture of Ali and Frazier in the ring. "I've always wanted a picture of Ali and Frazier," Doern said. "This is a big, beautiful picture." The award comes on the heels of an announcement from Doern that he will be leaving the club to work in Alberta. Doern is currently finalizing details on the new coach for the club and a new house for himself. More details to come in future Observers.

LAWN & GARDEN The economy of backyard gardening
H
einz Franzke has always gardened. He grew up during and after the war in Germany and as he said, “The rations didn’t feed a sparrow.” You grew your own food or you went hungry. That knowledge of gardening in a small space, of finding creative answers for any problems, of fighting for each and every plant, is obvious in his compact, productive, backyard farm on Marsh Road. He and his wife Lisa have always had a garden wherever they’ve lived. He does the outside work and she has his produce cleaned, bagged, and in the freezer within an hour of it being picked. Today their 40x20 foot plot and chicken coop feed them all year. Their freezer is loaded with strawberries and peas, rhubarb and tomatoes, chicken halves and turkey roasts. The cold room, with wooden walls so it breathes, holds potatoes and carrots in dry straw, cabbage on the shelves and crocks of his beloved sauerkraut. Last year he made 4 – 5 gallon crocks of sauerkraut and ate it daily with a bit of oil, onions and peppers. His compact garden has deep raised beds held in place by six-inch boards, dug entirely by hand until last year.
At his age, having broken both hips and smashed his foot in the past, he decided to buy a small electric rototiller. Heinz plants densely to improve water retention and keep out the weeds. He buys sturdy, hardy, seedlings and stores them in a shed at night. He plants early and watches the weather closely. Plastic is available to cover them if the temperature dips below -2C. His theory is that by planting early he gets a head start on growth and if he looses anything to frost, he has time to plant again. Every evening he waters from 45-gallon barrels that have stored the water since the previous day. The heat of the previous day warms the water; he feels cold water shocks the plants. He is not concerned with mould as the Cariboo is dry enough to avoid that problem. For many years this was all done by hand but now he has a pressure tank to pump it. Every Thursday he waters with chicken manure tea, that he says “stinks but works GREAT.” Heinz keeps eight hens and one rooster and collects 5-6 eggs per day. Each spring one hen is allowed to sit on eight eggs and from that he gets two or three new pullets to replenish his flock. The threeyear-old hens are

slaughtered and made into delicious broth. Young chickens make tasteless soup. Every second year he raises 25 meat birds which he slaughters personally. At eight weeks they produce a 4 – 5 pound bird, which he splits down the middle as there are only the two of them at home these days. All 25 birds are processed in under three hours. He buys 30 – 40 pound turkeys, slaughters them himself as well, debones them while raw and builds roasts that are a mixture of dark and light meat.
The drumsticks become tasty hamburger when a little double smoked bacon is added to the mixture. Heinz is extremely proud of his tomatoes
grown without an official greenhouse. He grows them in a three-feet deep, eightfoot by four-foot box he built against the south wall of his shed. He takes an old window that he salvaged during his home renovations, leans it against the shed, and adds plastic at the end to keep the cold out. He buys Early Girls and Super Girls and through his unique system of pruning, gets 35 half-pound ripened tomatoes on each plant. Heinz Franzke is an incredibly knowledgeable gardener who is more than willing to share his expertise with others. His mini-farm will be included on our garden tours and you can ask him personally for hints on pruning tomatoes and slaughtering chickens. Hope to see you then. – submitted by Colleen Gatenby
