After internal RCMP review Cst. Wang ordered to forfeit nine days pay AUTUMN MacDONALD Observer Reporter A Quesnel RCMP officer has been ordered to forfeit nine days of pay for slapping a man and spraying another with pepper spray. In 2009, Cst. Timothy Wang was a senior officer with the force and the school liaison officer. In July of that year, Wang slapped a handcuffed prisoner. In February of 2011, Wang was found guilty of common assault for the slap but was granted an absolute discharge. Wang also released pepper spray under the door of a drunk tank into the face of another man. An internal RCMP review last fall resulted in disciplinary action. Wang was ordered to forfeit three days pay for the slap and six days for the pepper spray.
Former Quesnel resident charged with child pornography A Quesnel man who recently moved to Prince George has been charged with several offences relating to child pornography. Jereme Carl Kozak was arrested June 6 and charged with accessing child pornography, possession of child pornography and possession of child pornography for the purpose of distribution. On the evening of June 6, members of the Prince George RCMP’s General Duty Section
with assistance from the Detachment’s Crime Reduction Team executed a search warrant at a residence on the 400 block of Voyageur Drive in Prince George. A 25-year-old was immediately taken into custody. According to police, the man was actively downloading child pornography as police arrived at the residence. A computer and other evidence were seized. Kozak has been released by the court until his next court appearance scheduled for Wednesday June 26. He must abide by strict conditions including no contact with children 16 years old or under, unless supervised, not to attend parks, pools, school grounds, daycare centres and other places where children under the age of 16 may be present, and he is not allowed Internet access. “The RCMP take crimes against children very seriously,” Cpl. Craig Douglass, spokesperson for the Prince George Detachment, said in a press release. “The children involved in child pornography investigations are victims and end up with lifelong emotional scars. We will do everything we can to bring offenders to justice.” This investigation was initiated by the Provincial Integrated Child Exploitation Team (ICE), a specialized police unit that identifies and investigates those persons responsible for sexual offences against children.

Drive slow for kid’s sake Grade 4 Parkland student Dominic Hamel takes his job seriously. Each morning he faithfully wheels Henry and Sally out to the edge of the school property to encourage drivers to respect the school zone speed limit of 30km/hour. Parkland principal Jan Musselman says this is the most important job in the school as it helps keep students safe as they make their way to school. Drivers are reminded that elementary students are in school until June 27 and every day needs to be a safety-conscious day. Annie Gallant photo

Council receives sewer study
The city director of public works and engineering confirmed that the Water and Sewer Servicing Study is now available on the city’s website at www.quesnel.ca – click on City Hall/ Reports 2013. This document, prepared by Urban Systems, investigates all areas within city boundaries that do not have water and/or sewer servicing. Expanding these services has typically been a combination of demand, economic viability and a willingness on the part of the majority of taxpayers in that area to provide some or all of the funding required for the expansion project. Partial funding through grants from senior levels of government has also been available in the past for a number

of these expansions. council approved the recommendation that this Water and Sewer Servicing Study be received and directed staff to coordinate public meetings in the areas where residents have requested servicing in particular, the Richards/ Woodridge area for water servicing and the Gook Road/ Dragon Lake area regarding sewer servicing.

CAPSULE COMMENTS With Kim B.Sc. (Pharm)
Just a reminder that during the summer days and you’re spending the day outdoors, even when it’s cloudy, still apply sunscreen. Ultraviolet radiation from the sun can’t be seen or felt and has nothing to do with temperature but still can burn even on cloudy days. Heart disease is 8 times more deadly than breast cancer and it kills more women each year than all cancers combined. Sometimes, the symptoms of a heart attack in women are different from men. There may be shortness of breath, sweating, unusual fatigue and may include chest pain. Waste no time calling 911 if these symptoms are happening to you. Brittle or cracking finger nails is often due to loss of moisture in the nails. A clear nail polish can help reduce moisture loss even for men. Historically, people used to take gelatin capsules for this problem but it doesn’t really work. Gelatin contains protein but it doesn’t contain the two amino acids, lysine and tryptophan, two important building blocks to making protein. Food protein sources are best. “Swimmer’s ear” is an inflammation of the outer ear canal caused by prolonged wetness of the area during swimming. Symptoms include pain, itching and a feeling of fullness. A home remedy you might keep on hand is a mixture of equal parts rubbing alcohol and vinegar. Instill a few drops into the ears after swimming and it helps to dry out the area. Looking for a pharmacy to feel good about? Give us a try!

It outlined the performance targets adopted by Council in 2012 for the period 2012 to 2014 as follows: funds from the small community grants will be transferred to the Quesnel Works: Capital Reinvestment Program and funds from the traffic fines grants will be used to defray the cost of local police enforcement. In 2012, $574,024 was received from the small community grants and $258,469 was received from the traffic fines grants.
Microbrewery zoning moving forward
A public hearing was held in Council on Monday night to review the referenced zoning application. Council gave third reading to the City
of Quesnel’s Zoning Amendment Bylaw No. 1719 to allow the use of a currently vacant building at 185 Davie Street as a microbrewery by Barkerville Brewing Company.
Final draft of sustainability plan
Council received the final draft of the ourQuesnel Integrated Community Sustainability Plan. They were asked to review the plan before June 24 when it will be adopted by council. Coun. Ed Coleman, Chair of the Sustainability Task Force, thanked staff and community groups for their significant effort and contribution to the document.
Permissive Tax Exemptions
Advertisements inviting non-profits to apply for permissive tax exemptions will be in the newspaper shortly. A report was received by Council to review the exemptions granted to nonprofit organizations. The three types of permissive property tax exemptions are statutory (properties owned by the provincial government, cemeteries, churches, hospitals, etc.), permissive (land and buildings held by non-profit organizations, etc.), and revitalization (gives the authority to exempt certain lands and/or buildings for the purpose of encouraging revitalization). This year only new applications will be received.

RBC Foundation supports students at Barkerville for second time A charitable donation by the RBC Foundation towards Barkerville’sEducational Programming: K-12 School Students will benefit nearly 2,000 students, teachers and parents from 49 different British Columbia schools this year. Barkerville’s awardwinning, curriculum-based interpretive school program has provided exceptional interactive history lessons for British Columbia students for decades and thanks to the RBC Foundation’s recent gift, the National Historic Site’s 2013 school program season launched with tremendous excitement and much appreciated supplies on May 16. “We are happy to provide a donation to the Barkerville Educational School Program,” said Kevin Krampl, Branch Manager for the Quesnel Branch of RBC Royal Bank. “At RBC we see the value of the historical town and the
positive impact it has on all the students who attend.” Barkerville used the RBC Foundation funds to help facilitate a comprehensive program schedule for students of all ages participating in the 2013 Barkerville School Program, as well as purchase materials and supplies required for the implementation of fullyimmersive, educational experiences. “We are particularly pleased to have the RBC Foundation return as a donor this year, after an inaugural and much appreciated partnership in 2012, Barkerville’s 150th anniversary year,” said Judy Campbell, Barkerville’s Chief Executive Officer. “RBC continues to offer impressive community support and we hope this relationship will continue to benefit us both for years to come.” The RBC Foundation is a major supporter of communities across Canada,
and believes in the power of the individuals who live in them, as is reflected through RBC’s support of children and youth, sports organizations, emerging artists, diversity and inclusion – all of which help to foster stronger communities. This is the RBC Foundation’s second gift to Barkerville. They originally donated to Barkerville’s Educational Programming: K-12 School Students in 2012. The Barkerville School Program runs from midMay to late-June of every year and includes seven core elements: Early Justice, the William’s Creek Schoolhouse, Chinese Schoolhouse, Chinatown Tour, Wendle House, Blacksmith, and Mining in Barkerville. For more information about Barkerville’s School Program, please contact Judy Mooring at 1-888-994-3332, ext. 29, or email judy.mooring@ barkerville.ca.

Southern Carrier elders help chronicle traditions and culture of their people
T
he Southern Carrier people have a long and proud tradition. However, as with many traditions, language, culture and customs can be lost through the passage of time. One Southern Carrier elder has worked tirelessly for the last six months
Celebrating National Aboriginal Day 2013 The City of Quesnel expresses their congratulations on the 17th Anniversary of National Aboriginal Day.
to complete a book, based on individual interviews with 14 elders from the four bands of the Southern Carrier (Nazko, Kluskus, Red Bluff and AnahimUlkatcho) the first of its kind for this Nation. When then-Nazko Chief Delores Alec, band manager Brenda Gardiner and housing manager Sherry Shaw received a request for proposals from the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada, they were eager to respond and immediately set up a meeting with residential school survivors along with Doreen Patrick, who
could translate for many of the elders who are still more comfortable speaking their first language, Southern Carrier. The funding was designed to provide money for a commemoration activity for First Nation communities to plan an event or activity honouring the survivors and children who attended residential schools. It was meant as a healing tool. It became clear at that meeting what the elders wanted was to create a book of stories and legends of the Southern Carrier people. The title of the book
Nekehkoh’ink’ez Nechaikoh huba Nek’u’a nats’uwhulnuk, We are telling our stories for our children and grandchildren, was determined right at the meeting. It was late October 2012 when Nazko First Nation received word that funding had been approved. Now the hard work began. “There are many non-native people who are not aware of the reality of what First Nations people endured during the Residential School era. The topic is still a very traumatic one for many survivors of this terrible era in Canadian and
American history (The USA has its own history of Residential School trauma)” Shaw said. “We want to let people know that we are here to help them deal with those memories and welcome them to contact the Nazko First Nation Band office and ask to speak to someone. “We have a list of contact people throughout the province who are there to help and who understand the steps that must be taken on ones Healing Journey.” see PAGE A7

Elders’ history a labour of love from A6 Southern Carrier language teacher Ellie Peters took on the task of collecting the interviews and preparing the work for publication. Being fluent in Southern Carrier and certainly comfortable with elders, Peters began the task of determining who to interview then going door to door asking permission. “I had to go back a second time to see if the first ‘no’ could become a ‘yes’,” she said. “I had to really sell it to them, convince them of the value of such a book. Finally, everyone wanted to be in the book. I already have a list of people who want to have their stories included in volume two.” Peters conducted all her interviews in Southern Carrier. Although the first expectation for the book was that it would contain residential school stories, she quickly
recognized this was still a difficult subject for many of her interviewees. “We gave it a lot of thought and decided to have them talk about their earliest memories, family relationships, growing up and even some of the legends these venerated elders learned at the knee of their own elders,” she said. “It included skills they learned from their family and the traditions and culture of their people.” Peters said that some writers eventually related a little bit about their residential school experiences. “I was taken to residential school at the age of six and it’s a very emotional topic, but now, after working on this project, I can speak of it,” she said. However, Peters spoke most eloquently of her own experience growing up with parents and elders who taught her about the world around her, the animals and their
power and how she learned to trap and skin with respect for those animals as well as the survival skills and plant lore she learned. Once she had completed her interviews, Peters faced the monumental task of transcribing hours and hours of recorded stories, first to paper then another translation to English. Shaw worked closely with Peters providing direction, editing and dealing with the task of getting the book into print. “What we have done is something wonderful. A true commemorative project that will have
lasting impact on the lives of all the children and grandchildren of our wonderful storytellers. It is a book that says a lot about the family closeness, respect for the land and animals and a resilience that is to be commended,” Shaw said. “So much laughter from the authors as they told their stories and shared their lives – always with the intention that these stories were written for their children and grandchildren.” Both Shaw and Peters expressed how proud they were of the book and are eager to share it with the world.

Part of the process

hen the big boys discuss national and international energy policy, the role of municipalities is often left out of the discussions. They are, however, one of the biggest stakeholders, working at the level of the end users: commercial, public sector, businesses and homeowners. Rising public sector energy costs and community energy security questions — as well as local economic and environmental concerns related to energy use, production and transportation — mean that municipalities have important interests in Canadian energy policy. And energy poverty — when households spend over 10 per cent of income on energy costs — is a direct problem for a growing number of Canadians. Penticton has its own energy policy, purchasing electricity wholesale and reselling to the community, with the profits helping to pay for capital projects in the city. According to World Bank figures, Canada is a world leader, with almost 24 per cent of our energy coming from alternative energy sources, including hydro, nuclear, geothermal and solar power, among others. That pales in comparison to goals of countries like Germany, 80 per cent renewable-based energy system by 2050, which includes municipal renewable and district energy projects as a major component. An overarching strategy to encourage cooperation toward common goals, such as climate change mitigation, energy security, environmental sustainability and a more diversified economy will benefit all Canadians. It will be stronger if Canada’s municipal governments, which have such important stakes and expertise to contribute, are part of the process. –Black Press
What ails the NDP? Plenty A
fter 34 NDP MLAs were sworn in to continue a stretch of opposition that will reach at least 16 years, leader Adrian Dix took a few questions about his future. The party’s provincial council will meet June 21 to set the terms of reference for a review of the party’s dismal election performance, Dix told reporters. He repeated that his performance won’t be spared, and ticked off some conventional wisdom about the NDP campaign. Dix mentioned the alleged lack of “negative” ads, the local campaigns (read candidates), the decreasing reliability of polls and, when pressed, his surprise decision to come out against the proposed twinning of the TransMountain oil pipeline. Like last week’s hysteria over a tiny leak in that pipeline, these are great sound bites for the short attention spans of the modern media. But they don’t explain much. This all-powerful NDP provincial council is a case in point. A glimpse into its inner workings was provided by a summary of an NDP policy development workshop called “Imagine Our Future” that was

B.C. Views leaked by the B.C. Liberals in the final days of the campaign. The workshop took place in November 2010, coincidentally at the same provincial council meeting where the revolt against former leader Carole James tumbled into the open. While 13 caucus members were knifing their leader for reasons they still can’t or won’t articulate in public – a glaring problem in itself – the backroom policy brainstorm revealed a deeper malaise. Among the “dream tree” notions put forward in the workshop was “free” postsecondary tuition and public transit, along with raising wages and lowering fees for daycare. This isn’t a dream tree, it’s a money tree. Remember, this is the NDP’s ruling body, not a high school “social justice” class or an Occupy Vancouver squat.
identical bland lager from identical factories in identical stubby bottles. Inter-provincial trade in these stubbies was strictly forbidden, requiring each province to have a big unionized brewery to make uniformly bad beer for the proletariat. This is the power of a monopoly union. And because of it, this was how governments tried to “create jobs.” It’s a bygone era to which many core NDP supporters stubbornly cling. This explains the party’s revival of a “job protection commissioner” for forestry. Which brings us to the proverbial root cause of the B.C. NDP’s woes. Its largest financial donor is the B.C. Government and Service Employees’ Union, which donated $1.4 million to the party in the past eight years, nosing out the Canadian Union of Public Employees and the Hospital Employees’ Union. Former HEU and BCGEU presidents now sit in the NDP caucus, critics for health and “green” jobs respectively.

Showing a glimmer of adult supervision, the workshop table on “equitable tax policy” even identified the problem. Its first recommendation: “Increase our economic and financial literacy to gain credibility.” The “public ownership” table really got radical. Scrap public-private partnerships, the basis of most government construction today. “Nationalize” independent power projects, in the Venezuelan style of state seizure of private assets. And perhaps most incredibly, tear up the trade agreement between Saskatchewan, Alberta and B.C. that harmonizes transport truck regulations and so forth. In the real world, the four western premiers met this week in Winnipeg. And the three-province project now called “New West Partnership” will continue to dismantle archaic interprovincial barriers. Why would the NDP be secretly against that? Because it’s also a “labour mobility” agreement. This harkens back to a supposed golden age in Canada, when two corporate titans shared the beer business, producing

Quesnel needs and deserves the Multi-Centre
Editor: Having been a drama/ theatre teacher in the junior and senior secondary schools of Quesnel over a span of 33 years and an active member of the local live arts theatre community over the past 47 years, it gives me great pleasure to see how close the fundraising for the prospective Multi-Centre is to achieving its goal of $30,000,000. At this point, it is obvious that the majority of the political commercial, industrial and general populace of the city of Quesnel and the Cariboo regional District are soundly behind the building of the Multi-Centre. It is my understanding that
Letters to the Editor
the community has until at least June 25 to reach the necessary monetary goal. What an amazing and crowning achievement this will be in a community that has an enhancement for the entire region. When I first came to Quesnel in 1965, I was impressed by the amount of interest and engagement the region had in ice sports and live arts. Hockey appeared to be in the blood of the community and everyone seemed to be aware of what was happening at the arena and talking about it. Mrs. Halloran was having annual musical theatre productions at Cariboo Secondary School to standing room only
audiences. Quesnel Little Theatre was producing numerous theatre performances every year and also yearly musical theatre productions to packed audiences under the direction of Frank Robinson. If you want to get an audience out in Quesnel, put on a musical theatre production. Through the years, the interest in ice sports and live arts has grown to the point that the district has become an ice sports and live arts haven. Being a live arts person, I am more familiar with the development of the arts in the community and I can testify to how interest in the live arts has expanded hugely through the years in the areas
of theatre performance, dance, stage band, choir, solo vocalizing and piano performance. All groups, whether they are in ice sports of live arts, are looking for an adequate venue where they can showcase their interests in a facility they can feel pride in. That would be the new MultiCentre. At present, many of the ice sports and performing arts groups are struggling because of inadequate facilities. The existing ice arena has become infamous for its rapidly deteriorating state and its inability to meet the needs of today’s users. The theatre at Correlieu Secondary School is overbooked through most of the year
and groups not part of the public school system have low priority when attempting to book the venue – it is, after all, a school classroom first. It is, also, too small for many functions. The preceding problems will be addressed with the building of the MultiCentre. The new Multi-Centre will allow the region to host major tournaments in ice sports and major music, dance and theatre festivals in the performing arts. This has to be important, not only to community pride and recognition, but also for local businesses catering to visitors who are attracted to these activities. It will allow the community to bring in
bigger name acts in the performing arts. The Multi-Centre has the potential to become the hub of our community. Its further prospective uses include such things as conferences, meetings, home and boat shows, film club performances, graduations and such personal activities as wedding receptions overlooking the park. It will be a place for everyday to enjoy and it will make what is already a beautiful community into an even more attractive place to live, or move to, or perhaps set up a new business or industry in.

Two heritage properties recognized
T
wo heritage properties were recognized by the City of Quesnel at the council meeting on Monday, June 10. Mayor Sjostrom and councillor Brisco presented a plaque to recognize the Leonard Farm to Darcy Henderson, who received it on behalf of West Fraser Mills. The Cariboo Hotel was also recognized. There has been an establishment called the Cariboo Hotel on Front Street since 1878 when Mrs. McLaughlin purchased the building that James Kerr and Dan Duhig had operated as a brewery and saloon. In 1887 Archibald McNaughton purchased the hotel. He had traveled overland from Montreal to the Cariboo goldfields in 1862 and later published an account of his journey. He served as the Land Assessor and Collector for the District from 1863 – 1884 and in 1887 was the post master for Quesnel and the manager of the Hudson’s Bay Company store. John Strand and Telesphore Marion purchased the business in 1910. They tore down the original building and constructed the New Cariboo Hotel, a three storey structure with many amenities and 34 rooms. In September 1916, fire broke out in the Empress Theatre located in the expanded hotel. It spread rapidly and destroyed eight buildings on Front Street, including the hotel. Telesphore, Marion’s general store, was the only building in the block to be spared, so he concentrated on his business. John Strand, who had come to the Cariboo in 1892, worked as a contractor and carpenter, fur trader and had mining rights. He rebuilt the hotel after the fire. He also built Quesnel’s first hospital, the Catholic Church and the sternwheeler, Quesnel. In 1920

April Zalesky brings her pyrotechnics show to Skyfest – Quesnel’s International Airshow. Contributed photo
The art of the beautiful blast ANNIE GALLANT Observer Reporter The allure of aviation is what brings the crowds to air shows every year, but the true show in an airshow is the fire. Pyrotechnics, or the art of the beautiful, blast belongs to the special effects experts at AV8FX, led by air show pyrotechnics coordinator April Zalesky who brings her pyrotechnic show to Skyfest - Quesnel’s International Air Show, Aug. 3 – 4. A native of Vancouver, B.C., Zalesky was born into a flying family and is a licensed pilot herself. She’s been involved in
the air show business from a very early age and was drawn into the excitement of air show pyro and fireworks more than 20 years ago. According to Zalesky, flying and pyrotechnics are her two passions, so when she can combine the two that’s the best in her world. Long before the crowds gather, Zalesky and her crew of experts begin to lay the groundwork for the pyro show, unspooling hundreds of feet of detonation cord. “It’s known as dynamite in a rope,” she said. “But actually it’s nitroglycerin in powder form.”
For a large show it takes about a day to set up for various pyro effects, including simulating aerial gunfire strafing, bombs exploding and the most spectacular of all, the wall of fire. Measuring 500 feet long, 300 feet high and 100 feet wide, the wall of fire uses about 1,300 litres of unleaded gas along a plastic pipeline which is lined with detonation cord. Once ignited (the cord explodes at 10,000 feet per second), the pipeline blows apart, throwing the gas into the air which then releases the gas vapour, the most deadly part of the explosion.
“Vapour is the secret to great balls of fire,” Zalesky said. Why does she do it? “It’s an adrenaline rush,” she admitted. “I like to blow things up.” AV8FX technicians are fully licenced and experienced in all aspects of air show pyrotechnics and work closely with air show performers, air show bosses and other members of the air show team. Tickets are available at Circle ‘S’ Western Wear and the Tourist Info Centre for weekend passes, day passes and weekend camping packages. For information on Skyfest visit www.quesnelskyfest.ca.

Mud boggers love the adrenaline rush of going fast ANNIE GALLANT Observer Reporter
For every mud bogger on the planet, a big mud puddle is just too tempting to resist. However, having a permanent mud pit available to play in is even better. North Cariboo Mud Racers Association formed in 1991 for people who love to play in the mud. “You’ve got a big truck, you go through the mud,” NCMRA member Donna Butler said. “It’s fun.” And that’s the foundation for the club’s success. People have fun, regardless of their vehicle of choice, racing through the mud. They began at the top of airport hill and until 2000 started each season with the creation of a mud pit. Now they have a fixed mud track on Oval Road by the Quesnel Raceway. “This is the only permanent mud pit in B.C.,” Butler said. So, each year the club cleans up the site and prepares the pit for the new season. They dig out the pit, make sure its stable (ensuring the clay foundation is adequate)
and water it down. The side-by-side pits are about one foot deep, 200 feet long and about 14 feet wide. On a event weekend, they truck in about 20,000 litres or more of water to keep the pit in shape for all the racing. When asked what kind of mud is best for racing, Butler said “good old Cariboo mud, the stuff you can get stuck in.” The site also has permanent lights, timers and the equipment required to put on a great show. Mud bogging is all about speed, however Butler said the atmosphere is like one big family. Everyone is there to have fun and help each other and all about playing in the mud. “There’s even foot races in the mud for the kids,” she said with a laugh. Regardless if you just want to bring your truck and try out the pits or if you’re passionate about the sport and spend thousands of dollars on your machine, mud bogging offers something for everyone, with competitive classes from ordinary street trucks to highly modified vehicles. Butler said the sport
is moving towards mud dragging, which requires shallower pits and is easier on vehicles and allows for faster racing. “Most spectators wouldn’t notice the difference between mud bogging and mud dragging,” she added. The sport of mud racing has strict rules in place to ensure fairness and safety for both the racers and those on the sidelines. Butler said mud bogging is just like finding a mud hole in the bush, but this is safer and allows for more people to participate and spectate. “But just as any racing sport, mud bogging needs rules,” she said. One of the NCMRA members who now holds the position of vicepresident, Dave Dreger has been mud bogging for more than 20 years. Built on a lifetime of loving speed, he began mud bogging with a baby blue Ford F350 4X4. “I couldn’t afford a race car but I could race my truck through the mud pits.” Gradually he built bigger and more powerful engines for more speed through the pits. Although not a trained mechanic, Dreger prides
himself on being able to fix motors “when things go south.” Butler was quick to add, mud bogging can be done on a very modest budget and doesn’t want anyone to think you must go big or stay home. Dreger said for anywhere from $2,000 – $5,000 a new enthusiast can get out there and compete. Prize money isn’t huge in mud bogging with a top purse of about $500, but Dreger said its not for the money, its about the adrenaline rush. “When you get out of the vehicle and your hands are shaking, when you know you went fast, there’s nothing like that
feeling,” he said with a big grin. The track speed record is 2.23 seconds/200 feet, set by racer Steve Strell. “This is a legitimate sport with a growing future, however it’s also a sport that anyone can jump into,” Butler said. “And being a club member doesn’t require a vehicle. There’s camaraderie, family time, sharing expertise and advice and enjoying a love of the sport. “The club is open and welcoming to anyone interested in mud bogging.” She said a real bonus is you can get up close and personal with all
the high tech rigs, but can still be competitive with relatively low tech vehicles. Racing is all summer long until sometime in September, with five sanctioned race locations in the province. Quesnel’s premier event is during Billy Barker Days, July 18 – 21, with races Saturday and Sunday at the Quesnel mud bog pits up by the Quesnel Raceway. Anyone interested in this exciting sport can contact Ken MacDonald, 250316-5564, 250-992-5664; Dave Dreger, 250-9910901; or Bob Diewold, 250-255-5608, 250-7472187.

QCF seeking submissions for new grant cycle Letters of Intent deadline June 24
ANNIE GALLANT Observer Reporter For the first time in Quesnel Community Foundation’s 11 year history, it’s offering a summer grant cycle. QCF still has $10,000 to distribute to community groups for projects aimed at serving a broad range of community needs. QCF has already awarded $34,570 this year for such projects as lighting in the Seniors’ Centre, a summer camp through Baker Creek Enhancement Society and new kitchen equipment for Carson elementary PAC. QCF co-ordinator Cathy Briggs encourages anyone who considered applying for the spring grant cycle, to think about applying now. “If you’d considered applying earlier in the year, this is your opportunity to ask
for assistance for your project,” she said. “The deadline for submitting a Letter of Intent is June 24 and the form for that is available on our website: www. quesnelfoundation. ca.” Briggs went on to say if projects meet the funding guidelines, QCF will then invite those groups to complete the full application, which will be due Aug. 14. Confirmation for selected projects will be made by Aug. 21. “It is a Community Foundation’s policy that projects must be completed within the funding year,” Briggs said. “So those seeking funding at this time should have projects ready to go because of the shortened completion time line. Projects must be completed before Dec. 31 of this year.”

A Crossfire player shoots and scores in Monday nights game against the Devils. With the win the Crossfire have made it into the playoffs.

Playoff pay off
Crossfire go through hell to extend their season JONAS GAGNON Observer Reporter The sophomore Crossfire season has proved to be a struggle as the team spent a large portion of the early season hunting for an elusive first win. The season culminated in a three-game flurry for the Crossfire, with a trio of teams – the second place Assault, the Styler and the Devils – coming to town Thursday, Saturday and Monday. The Crossfire were in the hunt for a playoff spot down to the very last game of the season against the Devils after a loss against the Assault and a win against the Stylers. In a very rough, intense game, the Crossfire beat the Devils in overtime, 11-10 and found their way into the playoffs. Depending on whether the Stylers or Devils win the final game of the year, the Crossfire will go into the playoffs in third or fourth. “It was a dig deep game,” coach Pat Gibbs said. The game started off slow and built through the periods to a climactic finish. In the first, the Crossfire and the Devils traded goals, with the Crossfire coming out on top at 3-2. In the second the game heated up. The Devils evened it up early in the period putting the Crossfire in overdrive
resulting in two three on fives against the Crossfire, which they killed successfully. In the last 10 minutes of play, the scoring picked up and in a flurry of goals late in the period, the Devils took the lead 6-5 going into the third. In the third it got rough, with a couple players on the Crossfire leaving the game early and injured and a game suspension for one of the Devils’ players. The Crossfire got ahold of the lead early in the period, but a raft of penalties hampered their forward motion, including a nine minute major late in the game which had the Crossfire down a player into over time, after a Devils player charged a Crossfire player deep in the Crossfire’s end and the goalie, Bob Mills and another Crossfire player took some retribution. The two minute minor the Devils player got had many in the crowd questioning the reefing, including a heckler who eventually got booted from the arena. “I’m not saying we didn’t deserve some of those penalties, but we’d get a penalty and they’d make the same infraction and not be penalized,” Gibbs said. Despite the penalties, the Crossfire stayed one goal ahead through most of the last 10 minutes, until a Devils goal at 1:43 brought the Devils back even with the Crossfire. A response from the Crossfire’s Devon Whalen put the Crossfire back on top and had the crowd
cheering on fire. It was the Devil’s that had the last say of regulation time, pulling even with 21 seconds left pushing the game into sudden death overtime. The Crossfire controlled the ball for most of the overtime period, despite being down a player. Brody Lawlor found the ball at seven and a half minutes and ended the game to a joyous crowd, putting the Crossfire into playoffs for the first time. Thursday’s game against the Assault was close throughout the first 40 minutes, before a third period, in which the team fell apart, resulting in a 14-9 loss. “There’s a couple goals there that I’m sure Bob (Mills) wants and there’s about five goals I’d like back,” Gibbs said. Due to a suspension, Gibbs wasn’t on the bench, resulting in some line choices that had him cringing on the bench. The third period meltdown belied a very strong early performance from the Crossfire, who led the game for much of the first 40 minutes. The Crossfire opened the scoring and traded the lead a couple times in the first. But it was the Crossfire who came out of the first on top, with a one goal lead. The second began with the Assault trying to gain their footing, pushing hard against the Crossfire defence, but a strong zone defence managed to
keep the Crossfire out of trouble, as they traded goals with the Assault. The Crossfire pulled away from the Assault with a two-goal cushion, but a late push, two goals in the last minute, brought the Assault even with the Crossfire going into the third. The Crossfire opened the scoring again in the third, but the Assault returned with a run of five goals that threw the Crossfire and, ultimately, won the game. The Crossfire and the Assault posted another goal each after for a final score of 14-9. The game didn’t stop the team from hoping. They knew the next two games were key to cementing a place in the playoffs, and they came out against the Stylers with everything they had on Saturday, winning 13-2. At the end of a hard season, the Stylers were down a bunch of players on the road and the Crossfire took advantage of that. The game was even in the first. The Crossfire and the Stylers both worked hard, taking a trio of points each. But that would be the end of equal play. In the second, the Crossfire took advantage of the tired Styler team and made a seven goal run, while keeping the Stylers off the scoreboard. A couple more in the third tied the game up with the much needed win. see PAGE A19

Paddle boarding class JONAS GAGNON Observer Reporter Paddleboarding is the fastest growing sport in the world. To push the spread of the sport north Bodie Shandro was in town last weekend teaching new comers and experienced paddlers alike in the finer points of stand up paddle boarding. Shandro, who has taught paddle boarding all over the world, taught four classes over the weekend to help people refine their technique introduce people to the sport he loves. “It was like someone designed a sport just for me,” Shandro said of paddleboarding. The classes consisted of an hour of on-shore training before hitting the water for the rest of the three hour class to put their training into action. On land, Shandro took the
students through the terminology and background of the sport before getting each member of the class to stand up on a board balanced on a pair of BOSU balls so they could get comfortable on the board. Once out on the lake, Shandro stressed that everyone take their own time before standing up on the board. Though it may seem like a difficult sport, Shandro said it is a sport for all ages, from small children to retirees, because the physical exertion of the sport can be tailored to different fitness levels, from simply paddling a calm lake to serious races or even yoga on the board. The weekend classes were attended by adults and children alike, though windy weather on Saturday kept the children from trying out what they had just learned.

IMAGINATION
Growing pains for lacrosse
from A17 The team faces an uphill battle, according to Gibbs, as they don’t have the base of support winter sports have to draw on. So far they have been successful at keeping the team stocked with players, but Gibbs hopes the future will provide a large stream of players to choose from and make the draft to get on the team more competitive. “It’s not in the lifeblood of the community like hockey is,” he said. That’s his goal now, to put lacrosse on the map in Quesnel and get people out to take part. His goal is to improve the team so he can put on a good show from the crowd, hoping the action will draw the crowds. “If you put a good product on the floor people are going to come and watch,” he said. “The more people come the more money we’ll have and the better we can treat our players.” The team is on their way, doubling their wins over last year and extending their season with playoff games. The growth comes along with some significant pains as the team tries to find players with the skills and the drive to play, along with taking some very difficult losses. “You gotta take those 18-5 beatings right on the chin, he said. Gibbs also said a big part of the team’s success is due to
Park JULY 2 – AUGUST 30
Each week has an exciting theme ending with the ever-popular Friday Special Event Day. Garth Kenedy takes the ball in deep against the Asssault. the hard work of association president Lisa Scott, who he is very thankful to for giving the team a chance to prove itself.
A strong base A strong base of junior players has been a boon for the team, with Gibbs calling the younger players up to plug holes in his team and being impressed by their skill. “The junior players are some of the best players on the team,” he said. Next year, some of this year’s juniors will graduate out of the league and into the big boys league. Gibbs is looking forward to having these players test the older players and push the team. The affect of the juniors was already felt this year, as a couple of last year’s juniors made their way onto the team with a junior player getting the winning game against the Devils and getting the star of the game.

A chance
Gibbs, who loves the game, wants to share it with his home and create a place for young lacrosse players to go once they age out of the juniors. “When we have a senior team like this, the younger guys can look up and see that, ‘if I keep playing I can go play with these guys.’ That’s the main thing for us, giving the young guys something to shoot for as they come forward,” Gibbs said. The affect on the young lacrosse players is there at every game as young players walk the stands, lacrosse sticks in hand, or take to the box after it empties out from the game to relive the game with their own sticks in hand. Gibbs said he’s willing to put forward the energy and deal with the hard losses to get the team off the ground. “I just want the chance.”
BCRA
A little bit of Ashcroft action Quesnel junior barrel racers dominated the Ashcroft Rodeo last weekend, taking all three podium positions. Brett Wills was the fastest junior barrel racer over the weekend, with Mariah Mannering taking second and Savanah Watson rounding out the top three. Quesnel ladies were not as successful, being shut out of the top three. Kamloops rider Laura James was the fastest around the barrels, followed by fellow Kamloopsian Julie Leggett. Merritt rider Tracey Morris took third. Williams Lake roper Ellis Smith took the top spot in breakaway roping. Allison Everett of 150 Mile House took second in the category. Charlie Soffel of Vanderhoof and Taylor Wharry of Langley tied in third/fourth. There was a three way tie in junior steer riding, tying up the first three positions. Kamloops’ Jackson Scott, Kyle Bell of Houston and
Quesnel’s own Isiah Elkins tied with 71 points for a first/ second/third tie. Prince George’s Jared Marshall took the top spot in bareback on the back of Misery. Justin Zimmerlee of Williams Lake took second on Ford Tough. Cohord Mason of Kamloops had the fastest rope in Ashcroft, taking first in tie down roping. Riley Isnardy of Cache Creek took second in the category, with Merritt’s Derek Mobbs rounding out the top three. Ryland DeRose of Kamloops sat Big Double D to find his way to the top of saddle bronc. Devin Richter, of Omak, WA., riding on Doc Holiday, and Joe Roberson of Kamloops, riding Little Dave, performed similarly, riding to a second/third tie. Cole Scott, riding out of Kamloops, took first in steer wrestling. Nanaimo’s Cory Milton took second in the category, followed by Mason.
Lane Cork followed his bull riding win at the high school rodeo with a second in bull riding in Ashcroft, topped only by Shaun Greenbough out of Penticton. Savona’s Elly Farmer was the fastest pee wee threading the barrels. Brianne Billy of Williams Lake took second, with Dyson Laneve of Quesnel taking third. The Surrey/Langley team of Clayton Freemantle and Tim Pellman took first in team roping. Chad Evenson of Pritchard and Carey Isnardy of Cache Creek took second. The all Quesnel team of Russell Glassford and Steve Lloyd rounded out the top three. The BCRA throw off the tyranny of their name and dip down into the United States next Friday and Saturday for the Panorama Rodeo in Colville, WA. then slip back into Canada for the Alkali Lake Rodeo Saturday and Sunday.
