service to Wells and Nazko, to dealing with weather issues to juggling ever increasing handyDART bookings, their expertise and willingness to be flexible in finding a solution that works makes them a true asset to Quesnel Transit and our community. Their dedication to making small town transit the best it can

be is second to none. Cliff, Sherry and their staff are professional, courteous and caring and it shines through each and every day. Conventional transit service began in 2001 and operates 3 routes within Quesnel city limits and Red Bluff. The handyDART is part of Quesnel Transit and operates within Quesnel city limits

and up to 15 km outside of the city. Transit ridership has increased 4 per cent in 2012 over 2011. To date in 2013 transit ridership has increased 8% over the same period in 2012.

Donation ensures B-Ville program continues

A donation from BC Hydro towards Barkerville Historic Town’s Educational Programming: K-12 School Students ensures the important work of this historical school program continues into 2013. “This program is very important to us, and we are happy to be supporting Barkerville for the third time, and the second year in a row we are helping the school programs here achieve success,” Community Relations Coordinator for BC Hydro, Dave Mosure said. “We like to act locally, and partnering with the Barkerville Heritage Trust ensures that today’s youth understand the importance of the Cariboo Gold Rush and its place in Canadian history.” The National Historic Site of Canada’s award-winning, curriculum-based interpretive School Program has provided exceptional interactive history lessons for British Columbia students for decades. The fully immersive experiences ensure students leave with a profound and visceral sense of Victorian Era Culture and Commerce as they learn about the ongoing economic impact of the gold rush from the 1870s forward in the province. The donation from BC Hydro contributes to the purchase of supplies and materials for the school programs, to the direct benefit of some 2,000 students representing more than 50 schools throughout the province. “Barkerville has long been recognized as a leader in bringing the experiences of another time to life for visitors to the site,” Barkerville’s Manager of Visitor Experiences James Douglas said. “The school programming here allows students to dig even deeper into our past, shining a collective light on our future.” “The willingness of BC Hydro to recognize these programs ensures our students have the opportunity to move forward as future leaders in the various marketplaces of life, all of them, without exception,” he added. “And who knows… perhaps the important work happening here will inspire some of those students to work for BC Hydro one day.” The Barkerville School Program runs every year from mid-May to late-June and includes seven core elements: Early Justice, the William’s Creek Schoolhouse, Chinese Schoolhouse, Chinatown Tour, the Wendle House, Blacksmithing, 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.

Crossroads

Wednesday, June 26, 2013 Quesnel Cariboo Observer

he provincial NDP is at a crossroads, and whichever direction it chooses is fraught with challenges. Not only did the party lose an election that almost everyone expected it would win, it lost a number of key ridings, particularly in the Interior and Lower Mainland suburbs. It also lost in Oak Bay-Gordon Head, where Green Party candidate Andrew Weaver was elected. Weaver is a well-known scientist who is articulate and knowledgeable. He will almost certainly help build on the Green Party beachhead which began when national leader Elizabeth May won a Vancouver Island seat in the 2011 federal election. The NDP has much to fear from the Greens, who appeal to many younger and environmentallyminded people. The NDP, by contrast, often has difficulty moving beyond its massive debt to organized labour, which has very conflicting views on the environmental movement. The provincial NDP risk being caught in the squeeze that the federal Liberals were in after the 2011 election. The Liberals were out-muscled by the Conservatives on the jobs and economy front and by the federal NDP on the labour, environment and social issues front. It was the party’s worst showing ever. The B.C. NDP must decide if Adrian Dix will remain as leader. Dix did not give much indication that he is going to resign at the weekend provincial council meeting. If he stays on as leader, there is almost certain to be a vicious internal fight within the NDP, which will likely lead to a very divided party. That would leave it in even worse shape to deal with the changes that are in the wind on the provincial political scene. Premier Christy Clark and the BC Liberals are watching the NDP angst with undisguised enthusiasm. –Black Press

Cabinet rookies handed hot files T

here are nine new faces in Premier Christy Clark’s cabinet, seven of them elected to the B.C. legislature for the first time on May 14. They have been handed some of the hottest problems and Clark’s marching orders in “mandate letters” for each ministry. And this is the start of a four-year term, when unpopular reforms are attempted. Take Amrik Virk, the former RCMP inspector from Surrey who’s suddenly in charge of advanced education. His mandate includes: “Review the student loan program to make recommendations for improvement to ensure the loan program is meeting the needs of today’s students.” Virk must also set targets to “match the skills we need with the skills we are graduating” and require post-secondary schools to “ensure student seats are being filled.” B.C. can’t afford to keep cranking out university grads with $50,000 in debt and no job prospects in a system that’s subsidized 65 per cent. Virk will be working closely with Education

Tom Fletcher

B.C. Views Minister Peter Fassbender, who must “ensure seamless transitions” from high school to the workforce for post-secondary trades and apprenticeships. In his spare time, Fassbender is to overhaul the school district bargaining agency and achieve a 10-year peace with the teachers’ union. Justice Minister Suzanne Anton has worked as a Crown prosecutor, so she’ll have some insight into the system that still grapples with Stanley Cup rioters from two summers ago. Her orders are to get traffic tickets and other administrative penalties out of the courts, keep working on integrating police fiefdoms and generally treat the constipation that afflicts law enforcement today. Oh, and get that new Okanagan prison built, to relieve a system that has

have strict instructions to balance their lean budgets and take part in the latest “core review” to identify government functions that can be sold, delegated or shut down. New Minister of International Trade, Richmond’s Teresa Wat has to find a way to continue the growth of lumber and other exports to China, India and elsewhere on the Pacific Rim. On top of that, the alwaysdelicate softwood lumber agreement with the U.S. expires in three years. The last major eruption on that front was in 2009, when B.C. cut stumpage rates for remote coastal areas to give communities muchneeded employment. The Americans were livid, just as they were with our beetlekill harvesting efforts. And of course, the U.S.-directed environmental movement continues to target Canadian industries. Third-term MLA John Rustad gets aboriginal relations, with specific instructions to deal with gas and perhaps oil pipelines through his Nechako Lakes constituency.

inmates living in tents. And examine whether to spin off the Liquor Distribution Branch into a Crown corporation, a possible prelude to selling it. Transportation Minister Todd Stone’s first test was a grilling by the Vancouver media. Yup, this Kamloops hayseed has been to the Big Smoke a few times, ridden that fancy SkyTrain and taken the odd ferry, too. Now, he has to impose the ferry route reductions that have been worked on by two previous ministers and push Metro Vancouver through a referendum on ways to fund its own transit. If more tolls or taxes are going to be implemented, now is the time. Coralee Oakes has made a political leap from Quesnel city hall to the Ministry of Community, Sport and Cultural Development. One of her key tasks is to invent a framework for a “rural dividend” from liquefied natural gas development in northwestern B.C. Oakes has to figure out how to “better provide provincial support” to sport and cultural organizations, but do it with no new money. All ministers

TRAVEL

Thinking of traveling? Paris proves magical I

am daydreaming today as I look out my window and watch as the water drops from ice melting in the warmer weather. My thoughts fly to Paris. “Oh to be in Paris now that spring is in the air!” Paris has so much to offer but never so much as in the spring. A stroll along the famous streets becomes quite magical! Oh, we enjoyed all the fabulous tourist attractions, a visit to the magnificent Notre Dame Cathedral and a panoramic view of Paris from the Eiffel Tower. We even travelled to famous Montmartre hill known for the beautiful Basilica of Sacre Coeur on the summit. As well as being known for this amazing church, Montmartre is currently a haven for artists and artisans, which is appropriate as it was also home to painters such as Salvador Dali, Picasso, Van Gogh and, my favourite, Claude Monet. It is quite a feeling to stand at the apex of this hill and think that Monet was

TRAVEL TALES inspired by the same sights I was taking in! We were thrilled to see historic landmarks like the Louvre, Palace of Versailles and, of course, we posed excitedly in front of the Eiffel Tower. But our memories fly to a stroll on the Champs Elysees where we lingered over cafe and chocolate chaud at outdoor cafes. We admired the easy lifestyle of young Parisians as they laughed and flirted, drinking Coca Colas and smoking long cigarettes – tables of businessmen speaking animatedly – and ladies with shopping bags relaxing in the sun. Outdoor markets, patisseries, ice cream shops. We loved the streets, sounds and smells of Paris. Another most memorable experience was a cruise of the River Seine – at dusk.

As we floated along, under many of its 32 bridges, my thoughts went again to the artists, writers and poets who have immortalized the sights of the banks of Paris. I recalled these banks inspired the author of the Phantom of the Opera by its rumours of a vast lake under Le Palais Garnier. Right up until his death Leroux claimed the Phantom of the Opera really existed. Our visit to Paris was magical. When you get the opportunity to tour Europe, be sure to include this city on your itinerary. Deb Quick is a Quesnel resident and avid traveler.

Triple J Ranch’s next generation ready to take on the business ANNIE GALLANT Observer Reporter

ing their own passion for the land, the horses and the lifestyle. After many inquiries about trail rides and the whole cowboy experience, Martin and Ellen parlayed their love of horses and people into a thriving business with trail rides, overnight trips and fundraising events all with the backdrop of an authentic cowboy experience. Jami and Julia both pursued their own path for several years but always craved time at the ranch to keep them grounded and in touch with their roots. It was a natural step in their life journey to return to Triple J. Their return begins Martin’s difficult transition to retirement. With youth and vision, the girls have plans for the next generation of Triple J. “I look forward to taking on this new (to us) endeavour,” Julia said.

ith his roots deep in the North Cariboo, Martin Dillabough established Triple J Ranch in the late 1970s with his wife Ellen and their son Joachim. Primarily a cattle ranch, Martin always had horses, a true passion of his. Now he’s handed the reins of his well-established ranch to his daughters Jami and Julia (son Joachim [Joe] completes the three Js which sparked the naming of the ranch) who are carrying on his tradition with a strong emphasis on horses. In the early years, clearing land and creating pastures allowed Martin to discover the intimate details of his then 100 acre operation. The children grew up riding and learning from their parents and develop-

“Growing up on the ranch, I loved having the space to explore and have nature around me. I am thankful to my parents for where my siblings and I grew up and grateful that I can pass the same lifestyle on to the next generation of my family.” “We’re building on the success of Triple J,” Julia said. They still offer trail rides (the two-hour ride to Ahbau Creek falls is the most popular); day rides, including lunch which travels all around the now 800-acre ranch; overnight trips; birthday rides; group rides; school groups and the emerging and very popular corporate group rides. All overnight riders can camp for free on ranch land. “The ranch also maintains three cabins which are available for short stay rentals,” Julia added. In recent years, the kids

camps, which cater to individuals rather than groups, offer a five-day cowboy experience for up to 10 kids. Each has access to their own horse where they learn animal husbandry, tack maintenance and of course they learn to ride. During this camp, there’s also creek swimming, evening campfires and good down-home food. Julia describes the skills the kids acquire as survival on horseback. But for those looking to bring a youth group to Triple J, this is also accommodated very well. Julia said they are willing to discuss any requests. “We try to remain as flexible as possible,” she said. And the two sisters have plans to further develop the ranch with more amenities, such as showers, more cabins, wall tents and more facilities throughout the acreage.

Although Martin still handles the off-ranch rides such as to Ahbau Lake, Cottonwood House and Barkerville, Jami and Julia are riding these trails, established many years ago by Martin, and familiarizing themselves with these rides. “We look forward to learning all he has to teach us,” Julia said. This Saturday, June 29 they are launching the new era at Triple J Ranch and invite old friends, new friends and soon to be friends to join them for a day of Triple J Ranch appreciation with special pricing on rides more than two hours. There’s a free barbecue and refreshments for all riders, horseshoe pits, volleyball/badminton, a fire pit and free camping. Children are also welcome, although riders must be six and older.

Triple J Ranch is approximately 23 km from the Quesnel Airport on Highway 97 North. Watch for the signs on the right hand side. “I look forward to giving our customers a funfilled experience through horseback riding, nature and quality hospitality,” Julia said. Jami sees this transition to her and her sister running Triple J as more than just a great business. “I want my children to live a life of simplicity, the way I did,” Jami said. “To learn to slowdown and enjoy what we have and to respect and love family.”

Skyfest – A child’s world of wonder ANNIE GALLANT Observer Reporter What child hasn’t gazed in wonderment at the sky as a plane flies overhead? Skyfest, Quesnel’s International Airshow, Aug. 3 – 4, will keep their eyes glued to the wild blue yonder. However, there’s so much for children before the pilots and their planes even arrive in the community. Thanks to the partnership with RE/ MAX, every children in School District 28 will receive a ticket to Skyfest in their year-end report card, so parents, make sure you watch for this and set their tickets somewhere safe. “Although RE/MAX had committed to Family Day, after it was cancelled they immediately contacted us and said ‘we’re in,’” Skyfest committee member Sharon MacDonald reported. She added they are hoping to expand that effort to surrounding communities in the future. To get kids in the spirit of Skyfest, there’s a colouring contest with the colouring page

Deadline for entries is July 21. All entries, with the child’s special message, will be displayed in the pilot debriefing/ meeting area for the pilots during Skyfest.

CAPSULE COMMENTS With Jessica Joly B.Sc. (Pharm)

It’s important that diabetics be familiar with the “ABCs” of diabetes. These are A1C test, Blood pressure and Cholesterol. The A1C is a blood test to see how good your diabetes management has been for the past 3 months. The goal is to keep it below 7. Keeping your blood pressure and cholesterol readings as low as possible will also keep diabetic complications at bay. Speaking of blood pressure, five million Canadians have high blood pressure. This represents 19% of the adult population. Since you can’t feel high blood pressure, it’s important to have it checked regularly. High blood pressure can do damage to the body and increase the probability of getting diabetes and heart problems. Health Canada says a drug is OK for use in Canada based on all the information available about that drug at the time. After release, some information about the drug may surface that wasn’t in the original submission. Patients can help by reporting any adverse effects to their doctor and pharmacist. These health professionals can report to Health Canada to add to the drug database. Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a problem many men are hesitant to talk about. The internet is full of ads promising solutions but content of these products is dubious and may even contain prescription medications. Best advice? Talk to your doctor to determine the cause of ED and best treatment for you. Good advice: “Before you take it, talk about it.” Our pharmacists are always available to talk to you about medications.

Museum ads storytelling to Canada Day

s Canada Day draws near, we again have many things of which we as Canadians should be appreciative. And one of these ‘things’ should be our heritage. Preserving our heritage is at the top of the list when it comes to such things as our pioneers and pioneer families. I’m not just talking about the pioneers who plowed the fields and tilled the soil more than 100 years ago. I’m referring to those people who, in some small or big way, have made an impact on our community. Included could/would be our Citizens of the Year, our elected officials and our volunteers. Included could/should be those individuals who started up businesses in our town. 50 years ago, this little town had a very vibrant business community (and still does today!) and that 50 years ago was 1963! Doesn’t seem that long ago,

PAST TIME yet when you were a kid, 50 years was OLD! Businesses that were “in business” years ago have left an imprint on Quesnel. Hopefully you are keeping up with Bruce Steele’s column “Glimpse of History,” where a record of the infrastructure and local businesses has been chronicled in the Cariboo Observer. In August, the Museum will have a supplement in the Observer with a record of the businesses that were, and still are, in Quesnel. Then and Now pictures, with a short history, will be part of the presentation. If you, as a supporter of the museum, would care to

buy an ‘ad’ for that supplement, just drop in to the Observer and place an ad. $50 for a business-card sized ad in colour. The more advertising we have, the more pages of history will be printed. Speaking of doing your share of preserving history, do you recall ever donating something to the Museum or contributing something for an exhibit? Were you ever involved in preparing an exhibit? We at the museum are always interested in who did what around here. And while we are on the topic of preserving history, I would like to remind you that Quesnel Museum and Archives is very interested in collecting eulogies of Quesnel people. If you have a loved one who has passed on, and they were part of Quesnel’s history, please contact us or bring in that eulogy so it will be preserved, not just for your family, but for the community. While I’m still “on my

soapbox” about preserving our history, I want to remind you of the Storytellers’ Tent that will be in the park on Canada Day. Join us as we enjoy stories and readings from local ‘yarnspinners’. We are still looking for people who have a local story to tell and would consider joining us for a few minutes or a few hours to share stories. Call Honey if you’d care to share at 250-992-5875. The Storytellers’ Tent will be beside the Seniors’ Tea Tent from 12 – 3 p.m. in LeBourdais Park. To sum it all up...one of the many things of which we should be appreciative is the fact that we have the freedom to gather on such an occasion! Hope to see you as you “Pass Time” at the Museum. Like a piano, you may not be grand ...but you can be upright! Honey Affleck is chair of the museum commission and regular Observer columnist.

A barrel of fun at the Alex Fraser Park

Riders were barreling around Alex Fraser Park last weekend under the hot, summer sun, competing for glory, money and the exhiliration of speed. Three categories, peewee, junior and the open, were open to riders depending on their age. The event started Friday and winded down on Saturday. Clockwise from left: Sarah Mack rounds a barrel; Chelsea Breears cuts it close; Maddie Bosiak charges home after a succesful run Taylor Cathcart urges her horse home after the last barrel.

Wrapping up the season on the pitch JONAS GAGNON Observer Reporter The Cariboo League wrapped up their season last weekend in Prince George. The results for Quesnel were a bit of a mixed bag, with everything from second place finishes to a sixth place finish. Gilbert Schotel, a coach with the U13/14 girls and an organizer of the league, said he was happy with the results, stressing that the goal of the league was to serve to build the young players and encourage them to continue. Quesnel fielded five teams: U12 girls; U13/14 girls; U16

girls; U12 boys and U16 boys. The U12 girls took second, with a win and a loss on the weekend. The U12 boys struggled through their games, losing both 0-4 despite strong play, Schotel said. The two losses put the team in sixth, with two Prince George teams taking part in the tournament. The U14 girls tied for second with 100 Mile House, with a loss to P.G. 2-1 and a tie with 100 Mile, 1-1. The U16 girls took second, winning against PG, 6-1, and losing against,Williams Lake 2-0. The U16 boys struggled,

losing both games and coming in last in their division. Schotel said this season went over well. "It's the second season with Prince George in the league and they've really invigorated the league," he said. The league includes teams from Prince George, Williams Lake and 100 Mile House. Both the U13 and U15 girls are now looking forward to provincials next week in North Vancouver Ashley Carter scoops ball from in front of 100 Mile forward. Mellissa Schotel photo

CELEBRATING CANADA DAY SINCE BEFORE THERE WAS A CANADA DAY TO CELEBRATE.

Every baseball player that ever ran bases or hit balls took to the diamonds on Saturday to take advantage of the rare (for this summer) nice weather. Soft and hardball players, young and old, were out there doing their thing. Clockwise from top: young hardball players at West Fraser timber Park; even younger softball players at the same park playing in a tournament; peewee ball players push through the brief shower; a Mavericks player follows through on a hit at the Softball Icebreaker at Albert Johnson Memorial Park. Jonas Gagnon photos

QARA

Left-leaning races Saturday's dark cloud had racers nervous in the pits, waiting for rain and hoping that it wouldn't set the season's second race back. Come racing, the clouds scuttled off to rain on someone else's parade and racing hit at wide open throttle and on time. Byron Hesselgrave won the Street Stock main event in his number 42 Monte Carlo SS. Mark Farnsworth won every race he was in on Saturday, finishing strong by winning the main event in his number 8 Acura Legend.

It was Donny Kunka, of Williams Lake, in his number 37 Street Stock that ran the fastest lap. Terry Braman, in his 52 Grand Am ran the fastest lap in the Mini Stocks. Tim Westwick of Williams Lake beat the locals in the street stocks 'A' Dash in his 56 car. Local John Chawin took the street stocks 'B' dash in his number 8 car. Cecil Weirs, of Quesnel, took the 'C' dash. The dashes culminated in the street stocks 'A' heat, which Williams Lake resident Cole

Byrd won in the 88 car. It was all Quesnel racers in the top spots for the mini stocks. Farnsworth won the 'A' dash in his mini stock. Jason Howlett took the checkered flag in the mini stock 'B' dash in his Civic. Mark Zacharias' number 91 Acura Legend pulled him to victory in the 'C' dash. Sage Howlett took first in her number 90 Civic in the 'D' dash. Farnsworth and Howlett took the 'A' and 'B' heat respectively.
