Norburn delivers MultiCentre update to JPC DANIKA M. HÉBERT Observer Reporter General manager of community services, Jeff Norburn provided the joint planning committee with an update on fundraising for the Multi-Centre on Tuesday. Norburn highlighted the Loan Authorization Bylaw No. 4396 which allows the CRD and city to borrow up to $15 million. With an expiration date of Dec. 12, time is of the essence. “To date, $25.5 million has been raised or otherwise available to support the Multi-Centre project,â€? he explained. “This is about $4.5 million short of the projected $30 million needed to complete the project.â€? The Multi-Centre project, would see both arena space as well as arts and theatre space built on the same spot the Twin Arenas are now. A spreadsheet showcased the amounts of money which have been donated or committed. “Of this total, approximately $56,000 in community donations are pledged to be provided in installments with these funds committed to come in 2014 or later,â€? the report explained. “Funds that have been pledged have been committed by businesses but cannot be guaranteed.â€? Norburn also went over a review which was conducted by MHPM, a project management firm.
MHPM was asked to perform a review on the plans for the Multi-Centre to see if a $30 million budget was viable. “MHPM reviewed the original budget and advise that while construction costs have escalated since the original cost estimates, it is their opinion that the project is still viable using the original $30 million budget,â€? Norburn said. “Increased construction costs may place greater budget pressures on the design builder but it is reasonable to assume that the marketplace can still work within the prescribed budget and meet the performance specifications identified in the request for proposal.â€? The project management firm was asked what minimum budget would be reasonable to build the proposed Multi-Centre to a standard “generally in accordance with the concept presented to the public.â€? They found that a budget of $27.44 million could be realistic with the following changes: • Replacement of a site specific structure with a pre-engineered facility; • Exterior and shear walls changed to tilt-up panel system - replacing use of structural glue laminated timbers; • Reduce building energy performance/eliminate LEED gold requirement; Extensive reduction of BC Wood First policy scope; • Industrial aesthetic interior and exterior finishes;

• Reduced arena seating capacity to 1200 seats, from 1600 seats; • Reduced spectator support areas; • Deletion of communityuser small teams rooms; • Deletion of multipurpose and bookable meeting room. Norburn went over what some of these changes could mean to the community. “Reducing the scope of work of this nature may jeopardize some funding that has been secured for the project,â€? he said. “Grant applications have promoted the project’s commitment to wood first and sustainable design. “Eliminating some of the auxiliary saves may negatively impact the functionality of the building and limit facility use, including the ability to host major events, which could result in an incremental increase to the net operating cost for the facility due to lost rentals and concession revenues.â€? To date, the Multi-Centre has received support from several local businesses and through many fundraising initiatives. One of the biggest fundraising efforts has been the seat sale. To date, 408 seats have been sold, 366 have been pledged and 16 have been committed through a payroll deduction for City of Quesnel employees, a total of 790 seats and $197,550.

Don’t forget to check your decal... We’ll help you renew.
T
here are two groups that I would like to focus on in my column this week These two groups have had events in the past month and I do not want to pass up an opportunity to address them both. When I think of them, I think of gratitude, congratulations and pride. I have said it before but it must be said again that I am extremely proud to be the mayor of this fine city and to have been elected by such a diverse, energetic, appreciative and compassionate public. The generosity of our community never ceases to amaze me. It is always a pleasure to spend time with our volunteer citizens! Last Monday, I was honoured to attend the tree planting with our 2012 Volunteer Mary Sjostrom Citizen of the Year MAYOR’S COLUMN (“VCOY”), Jean Stimpson. We had a large group in attendance. Joining us were Coun. Brisco, Chair of the Volunteer Citizen of the Year Committee, Tracey Roberts from the Quesnel Cariboo Observer and cosponsor of the VCOY, fifteen of our past and valuable Volunteer Citizens, spouses and city staff. Jean was thrilled with the turnout and insisted on completing the planting of her tree, herself. The group then went to the Legion for a nice light lunch provided by the Legion Ladies. For those of you who do not know, City Hall has a meeting room dedicated to the Volunteer Citizens of the Year. There is a list of the citizens for each year along with their photo. The room is located on the main floor so please, take a minute and have a look inside. Thank you and congratulations to all of the Citizens of the Year. Jean will be taking part in the Billy Barker Days parade this year so keep an eye out for her and give her a wave. The graduating classes of 2013 are amazing. I say classes because I am referring to the Correlieu Secondary School and McNaughton School grads, the grads of the College of New Caledonia and the University of Northern British Columbia. Our community is filled with students of all ages excited about new endeavors, new goals and new careers. Congratulations! The doors to the future are open for these students and I sincerely hope that they continue to make Quesnel their home, or at least their home-base. Some will go on to further their education and some will jump into the workforce with greater knowledge. I know that a lot of Correlieu and McNaughton grads will be attending the College of New Caledonia in September and I wish them all the best of luck in their studies. Whatever they choose to do, I hope that they know how proud the community is of them. These students are our future and the future of Quesnel. Thank you and congratulations for all of your hard work and the volunteer time you have given and continue to give to our community. A quick side note. The Billy Barker Days parade route has changed. Please see the parade route map on http://billybarkerdays.ca/ images/General/paraderoute.jpg or the City’s website. Congratulations to the Billy Barker Days Society on their 40th Anniversary. I invite all of the community to join us in the celebration! If you have a question for Mayor Mary Sjostrom,email newsroom@quesnelobserver. com and we’ll forward it to the mayor.

B.C. LIVESTOCK PRODUCERS CO-OPERATIVE MARKET REPORT FOR JUNE 20th
Jamie Lee and her sons Noah and Evan make good use of backyard space to grow their own produce. Colleen Gatenby photo
A rainbow-themed children’s garden
W
hat do you do when you have a very modest income and two children, one of whom has serious food sensitivities? You grow as much of your own food as possible. Her goal is to feed her family with whole organic food that she knows is free of chemicals and additives. At the moment she is 1/3 of the way there. Jamie Lee and her two sons, Evan and Noah, live along Lewis Drive and garden in any spot in the yard that has enough sunlight and is not occupied by children’s toys. Last year, she grew beans and peas along the fence line and tomatoes along the sunny side of the house. Because she has so little true soil, Jamie put lettuce and radishes, spaghetti squash and zucchini in crates she built from scrounged lumber and filled with free soil hauled from United Concrete. The boxes can be moved around and serve as a border to keep bikes out of the rest of the growing area. The three containers in the front yard were built out of recycled materials and filled with dirt she hauled. Herbs were grown in her sons’ broken kiddie pool. Jamie has learned to be creative and make every bit of space feed her family. This young mother, who grew up in the East Kootenays and
Prince George, is also an experienced wild harvester and trader. She supplements her garden produce by gathering chokecherries and Saskatoons, fiddleheads and morels, blueberries and strawberries. Jamie trades her labour and knowledge for the things she can’t grow, like chickens and meat. She picks her neighbours’ apples to store for the winter or make juice. Jamie knows that it is essential to involve her sons in the garden, hence the idea for a “rainbow” theme for this year. What kid wouldn’t want to eat orange radishes, purple potatoes and yellow tomatoes? The boys even have an old plastic play kitchen by the garden where they can make their own snacks. When she purchased the house three years ago, there was no garden and little soil so that first fall she piled leaves on the intended garden space to kill the clover. In the spring, she added layers of compost and dirt. She starts anything that requires more than 90 –120 days, such as tomatoes, squash and cucumbers, in the house. Rainwater is collected in a giant barrel and she waters first thing in the morning, infrequently and deep. Leaves and straw or cardboard are added to rows to
keep the weeds down. Jamie has had some failures, but she learns from each mistake. Last year, the onions were eaten by worms which bored holes into them. The only good ones grew next to the lavender bush, a lesson in companion planting. Two years ago, the tomatoes all died due to heavy summer rains, so after that she raised her beds to
improve drainage. By the end of the season the freezer is full of blanched peas, beans and carrots and the potatoes are in the cold room. She has a supply of dried soup mixes made of her own carrots, celery and herbs and canned tomatoes, peaches and pickles. And, she has saved plenty of open pollinated, non-GMO
seeds for next year’s garden. Next year will be even better as Jamie is in the process of building a chicken coop to supply eggs and will plant a second garden on a friend’s property to grow corn, melons and potatoes, all of which require more space than her modest yard can provide. – submitted by Colleen Gatenby

he Canadian dollar is sinking. Gas prices have been going up for the past month. Banks are making noise about raising mortgage rates. The housing market is cooling. The weather seems changeable on the hour. It must be summer. This coming Canada Day holiday weekend is the traditional start of vacation season. Time to get away from it all. And with the everincreasing gloom and doom that seems to drain our optimism and energy at a quickening pace, it’s never been more imperative to tune out and step back. At least for a stretch. Getting away from the workplace, turning down the busyness of our lives is an important change to routine. It reduces anxiety and stress, allows us a chance to recharge, maybe even refocus. Holidays make for happier, more motivated employees. But Canadian holiday entitlements lag behind those enjoyed by workers in many other countries. We get a minimum of 10 working days off depending on the province and tenure of employment. That’s supplemented by five-10 public statutory holidays, like Canada Day. Australian workers get 20 working days off, plus 10 paid public holidays. Brazilians enjoy 22 working days off, plus a 33 per cent premium on top of their regular pay. Workers in Denmark get 25 work days off plus an additional nine public holidays. German workers get four weeks off plus nine-13 public holidays. In Finland, the minimum mandated holiday time is 30 days. Even workers in developing countries like India are granted 12 work days a year for holiday. But in the United States there’s absolutely no legal provision for mandated holiday time. Employees are completely at the mercy of their employer. Canadians may not feel we get enough holiday, but at least we get something. –Black Press
Children should be seen and heard I
live with my husband, two kids and two dogs in an old house with a back and a front yard. There have been times, many times, that I’ve longed for the simplicity of our condo days when we weren’t constantly working on stuff around the house like we are now. I guess I should be careful what I wish for. My friend Lindsay Bell, wanting to downsize for similar reasons, moved from a house to a condo this past October and was excited to find a nice one close to her children’s school that was also near a park and the aquatic center. With many other children living in the building, and tons more in the vicinity, it seemed ideal for her young, active family that consisted of a five year old and an eight year old. Little did she know that she’d soon be battling the condo’s strata council for her children’s right to play on the greenery outside the complex. “I had asked for a safety sign above the garage, something like ‘slow down’
Lori Welbourne
On a Brighter Note because people of all ages have almost been hit by cars coming and going. What we got instead was a sign that says ‘No Grocery Carts, No Bikes, No Scooters, No In-Line Skates.’” Now faced with summer holidays and a concern as to where her sons and all the other kids from the complex could get some fresh air, she was informed they would have to be supervised at all times or go off the property. “This isn’t a retirement condo,” she said. “There are about 20 to 30 kids living here and they’re not even allowed to play on the grass outside the complex with a harmless beach ball unless a parent’s standing right with them.” Whoever is running the show in her complex is a far
“They’re more worried about aesthetics than safety,” Lindsay said about her strata council and the new sign they installed. “I told them that a shrub can be replaced, a child can’t.” Not ready to give up, she’s hoping there will be a change made to the bylaws if there’s a 75 per cent vote among owners in favour of allowing kids the outdoor breathing room they deserve. “I’m not asking them to be okay with our kids destroying the grass with scooters and bikes and skates,” she said. “But they should be able to safely play outside their own home with other kids who live here too.” I’m hoping she gets the 75 per cent vote required so those children can play like I could – like my son and daughter can - and like every child should be able to do. Turn up the sound of kids playing outdoors, it’s music to my ears. Lori Welbourne is a syndicated columnist. She can be contacted at LoriWelbourne.com

cry from the management of the low-cost apartment dwellings I grew up in when my brother and I were the same ages as her boys. Some of my fondest childhood memories are from that place where we could play outside on the building’s property from morning to night, only coming in for meals and bathroom breaks. Children from the age of four or five would play with their pals while our folks worked or cleaned or did whatever boring old grownups did and we’d play kick-the-can, cops and robbers and Charlie’s Angels in the fresh open air. Lindsay would have loved that place for her sons. But now she’s stuck with a beautiful condo in a complex where they can’t play outside unless she’s with there too. Children need to run around and blow off steam and in this day and age when so many of them are cooped up inside playing video games and watching TV, our society should be making it easier for our kids to be kids, not harder.

Government needs to prioritize spending
here are more and more stories coming to light that veterans, including veterans who recently returned from a war zone and are mentally or physically wounded, are falling through the cracks. Add to this the mentally challenged, of whom many are now living on the streets, and the old age pensioners who are living far below the poverty line and the crack becomes a gap. In a rich country like Canada this is a crying shame, a shame in which the federal government has to take the main portion of the blame because the veteran problem is Canada wide. In B.C., the provincial
Letters to the Editor
Bert deVink
FROM WITHIN government is hacking at the incomes and pensions of the old age pensioners, the mentally handicapped and cutting down or under-funding public services such as hospitals and education. The support of the people who need help the most is is more than often filled by volunteers. Let’s face it people, nobody is mentally handicapped by choice, nobody is
hoping to get old living in poverty and nobody joins the army hoping to come back with limbs missing or mentally wounded. When the federal government can spend $6 million on two pandas, and I don’t know how many millions advertising the tar sands, it seems strange to spend that amount of money on two animals who don’t even belong here. This is not a gift that should have been accepted when those in need go without help. As far as the oil ads on TV go, should they not be the sole responsibility of the oil companies involved, instead of the Canadian tax payers who are already ripped off by
these oil companies? It is also very strange that the taxpayers of Canada have to pay for the justification of what the oil companies are doing. In the mean time the feds are involved in a smear the leader contest that now involves the leaders of all three parties in more or less serious accusations and that is not speaking of the scandal in the Senate. Maybe it is time for a modified revival of the old song “Where has all the money gone? The answer would be “blowing in the wind.” The G8 conference that took place at a very luxurious golf course in Ireland where all the leaders arrived in big jets,
has basically produced nothing. As far as support, Mr. Harper will send $60 million to Syrian refugees, but the war goes on with all its horror while creating more refugees every day. Six million for two pandas and sixty million for a couple of million – refugees now that makes sense. I will trade you 60 million people for 2 pandas. Oh, I forgot the pandas have to do with the China trade. I think the China trade will do a lot for the Canadian population, already most stuff on the shelves in our stores are from China. We also will become very rich when a Chinese owned outfit is working the tar sands and a coal
mine in B.C. is owned and operated by another Chinese outfit with its own workers. Bring it on politicians, we need more people who take what we got as long as they are the same people who stock our shelves and give us pandas. It might be a secret long range plan, because as long as we give away pollutants like coal and oil the world will get warmer and we can grow the trees Pandas like and than we don’t have to pay for pandas anymore. It is just a thought, who knows what kind of weird logic has to be covered up next. Bert deVink is a long-time Observer contributor.

Trying on traditional Japanese dress is one of many activities at Shiraoi House on Canada Day. Diane Graham photo
Celebrate multiculturalism on Canada Day Canada Day. You think of July 1 and you see barbeques, Canadian flags and (hopefully) beautiful weather. And maybe you also see the mosaic of people and cultures that make Canada such an interesting country. This Canada Day, Quesnel’sown, unique cultural institution Quesnel/Shiraoi House will be celebrating the mixture of cultures that is Canada. Shiraoi House offers a host of activities throughout the day, including making its members and their stories, available to anyone
who wants to pop by. Many other traditional Japanese activities are also offered: trying on a yukata, a casual version of kimono; making an origami kimono to take home; instruction in the art of writing in Japanese; a bevy of traditional Japanese toys for kids to try; and green tea and sushi while supplies last. Doors will open at 11 a.m. on July 1 and activities will wind down around 4:30 p.m. The Shiraoi House is located in LeBourdais park, right in the middle of a host of activities planned for Canada Day.

Unfortunately, thier kids rooms is another matt er. can’t afford to order pizza! - Family Internet Genius. Finance Minister Mike de Jong presents the B.C. budget in February. An updated version will be presented soon. File photo
The B.C. legislature resumes with a brief throne speech on Wednesday and an updated budget Thursday that will be the focus of opposition critics in a month-long summer session. NDP house leader John Horgan said the government’s plan is to push a “bogus” budget through “while people are at the beach,” and then continue the B.C. Liberal tradition of skipping scheduled fall sessions in October and November. Horgan said the government’s target to limit health care spending growth to less than one per cent hasn’t been achieved since former premier Bill Bennett’s restraint program in the early 1980s. “At some point the reality has to hit the road and this is why, I believe, they have jammed us in here in July, rather than having a more thoughtful session starting in September, when their [spending authority] runs out,” Horgan said. Finance Minister and B.C. Liberal house leader Mike de Jong
SP
hasn’t ruled out a fall sitting of the legislature. He promised “no surprises” during the rare summer sitting, which the government intends to wrap up by July 25. De Jong said he will update resource revenues that have changed since the current budget was introduced in February and independent economic forecasts that have downgraded projections for B.C. economic growth since then. The government plans no new legislation in the summer session, nor a reintroduction of provisions for an election for B.C. senators and other bills that were left unpassed when the legislature adjourned for the May election. After a series of deficits since 2009, the February budget projected a surplus of $197 million for the fiscal year ending in March 2014. That is to be reached with an increase in the corporate income tax rate from 10 to 11 per cent, a temporary 2.1 per cent increase in personal income tax above $150,000 a year and a $2 per carton increase in tobacco taxes effective in October.

Janice Butler offers wisdom and guidance in her new book ANNIE GALLANT Observer Reporter
A
s we travel down life’s road, we gather experiences, synthesize them into an attitude, share them with others, percolate them into wisdom and pass them on to our offspring and those around us. Regardless of whether they are good or bad experiences, our ability to absorb the lessons each exposure offers shapes who we are for the rest of our lives. Janice Butler’s experiences and the lessons she learned created a very wise woman and she has chosen to share her wisdom in her book Toes to the Front. As artistic director for Kersley Musical Theatre, Butler invited would-be thespians to have fun with her, join a theatre family and expand their world. People responded in overwhelming numbers. One production included
more than 120 people in the cast, no small feat given every performance was in the small Kersley Community Hall. Butler had the ability to expand her vision for any given production, including just about everyone who auditioned and providing a quality experience to every cast and crew, regardless of their abilities. All she asked was they bring a willingness to be kind, learn and share. Throughout the KMT’s 10-year run, with all the changing faces of the cast and crew (in reality many of the faces remained the same), Butler shared her wisdom and life lessons such as kindness, blessing others and, of course, keep your toes to the front. As KMT was coming to an end, Butler wanted to give a gift to all those who participated, something to remember their time together. “One of the best parts of that experience for me was having the
opportunity to share lessons with the cast and crew,” she said. “As I contemplated what I could give as a gift to these beautiful people, it came to me that I would like them to be able to carry these stories, these lessons, forward with them in their lives.” And so her first edition of this current book was born. Butler enlisted the assistance of Paula Sword, a veteran with KMT and an excellent photographer. People were grateful and enthusiastic about Toes to the Front and asked for extra copies. Butler continued to record lessons she learned and her arsenal of stories grew. As a counsellor, she knew how important guidance was for her clients and as theatrical director she also recognized her role was much more than just on-stage direction. Expanding that wisdom to off-stage and almost every aspect of life, with
a little push from an unexpected source, the plan for a more universal book developed. Through a rather random connection with Nuala Grant, former journalist, former probation officer and wise woman, Butler found the editor she needed to take her plan to the next level. “I asked her if she would edit my book of life lessons. She began the next day and told me she loved the book,” Butler said. “Her words were like some kind of blessed message for me. If someone outside of the circle of those I wrote the stories for liked them, maybe they had some merit. It was just the push I needed and the ideas started flowing.” With the added help of long-time KMT actor and friend, Doug Koyama, Toes to the Front took shape artistically. The 62-page book includes 30 lessons, many quotes from wise and deep-thinking public
figures and philosophers, exceptional photographs by Sword, all wrapped up in a beautiful presentation. Butler admits she avoided politics and religion (she believes in spirituality but doesn’t practice any specific religion) however, all her lessons include kindness, responsibility for one’s own life, self-appreciation and a profound understanding that no one is ever completely alone that we all walk through this life rubbing shoulders with the rest of the world. Butler credits her ability to teach these lessons because she’s learned to be an excellent listener and value those around her and what they have to say. One wise man, whose life lessons were taught in the concentration camps, AND impacted Butler in a way no other has. “We who lived in concentration camps can remember the men who walked through the huts comforting others, giving
away their last piece of bread. They may have been few in number, but they offer sufficient proof that everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms – to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way.” When asked if there’s another book in her future, with a twinkle in her eye, she confessed she’s always jotting down new lessons as they come to her. “I hate to think my lessons will come to an end,” she said with a laugh. “I’m always learning and will always want to share.” Toes to the Front, at $20 a copy, is available from the author’s place of business, Janice Butler D E C O R Services, 355 Counselling Vaughn Street, Joyful Expressions, Green Tree Health and Wellness, Karin’s Deli, Cariboo Keepsakes and Kersley General Store.

Custer’s wife reveals life as a civilian on a military campaign
T
his book, recently turned up in Quesnel, was published by Harper and Brothers in 1885. That’s 128 years ago – about the time of the Cariboo gold rush. It was written by General Custer’s wife who, in 1873, went west with her husband and the 7th Cavalry, to Dakota, to protect the Northern Pacific Railroad builders who were constantly pushing west.
Andy Motherwell
Historical Footnotes
The railroad from Memphis ended at Yankton, Dakota and the 800 – 900 men (full strength would have been 1,200 men) disembarked. There were no facilities there except what the regiment had brought and as they put up their tents, a howling blizzard arrived. They were not accustomed or equipped for snow, coming from the deep south, and all suffered badly. Yankton, a town nearby, came to help in the morning. The entire regiment marched and rode about 15 miles per day including the
camp followers, meeting friendly or aggressive natives (fear of the unknown tribes was terrifying) until they reached Bismark and settled into Fort Abe Lincoln. During the long winter in quarters, Gen. Custer studied the Napoleonic wars to analyze what went right or wrong and to surmise what he might learn from that conflict. Mrs. Custer goes into considerable detail as to what being a civilian was like in the rough and tumble life on the central plains among native bands. A soldier was ordered to guard her but if death seemed obvious he was to shoot her. The regiment was there for a year and supplying it was a major problem as wild game was scarce and cattle had to be driven hundreds of miles through hostile tribes. Extreme heat, huge grasshopper swarms and wolves and bears were daily problems. In the east, officers’ wives could get domestic help easily but on the frontier help was scarce. A servant lady, dressed as a man, drove ox teams but reverted to being a lady, did laundry and saved her money. A soldier considered her a good catch and married her. At her death in later years,

she turned out to be a man and her husband shot himself, he was so upset. Natives coming to barter displayed blond scalps upsetting the whites. Their dress and decoration contained two themes – the killing and scalping of warriors and the capture of ponies. It is amazing that a piano was brought in, in those circumstances. The regiment was ordered west to combat the warring tribes under Sitting Bull and consisted of 1,200 men and 1,700 horses in a column two miles long. Steamers carried supplies. Some boats carried Springfield rifles bought from Canadian traders which the tribes used against the army. Bands shot at other steamers such that they had to shield the boats with metal sheets. At the Little Big Horn battle, the 7th Cavalry was considered equal to 1,200 indians but ran into hundreds more than that. Custer’s last stand was on June 25, but word of the disaster did not reach Bismark

Reflections on our National Anthem
O
n Monday, Canada Day, our nation’s anthem will be sung out proudly and loudly across this great country of ours, in some places, perhaps with more gusto than usual. It seems that in the face of tragedy, national pride is strengthened, as is faith. This past week, churches in Quesnel met in LeBourdais Park to pray for healing and for our community. The inspiration for this get-together was the recent hospitalization of a pastor in town, but it became so much more as we prayed for all aspects of Quesnel
Laura Van Schaick
Salvation Army Church life. In the face of tragedy, community pride was strengthened through faith. But what was perhaps most striking was that these individuals were able to stand in an open and public place to praise and proclaim the goodness of God. We live in a free and
glorious country and our prayer every time we sing our national anthem is that it might remain so. God keep our land glorious and free. For those in the floodravaged communities in the southern prairies, this Canada Day will celebrate Canadians coming together to assist and support one another. It will be a day to celebrate the volunteers, Armed Forces, politicians and everyone who is working tirelessly to restore what was lost. O Canada, we stand on guard for thee! And for all those who are experiencing their own

personal tragedy or loss this Canada Day, may the singing of our national anthem be an opportunity to find comfort in the words of the often forgotten 4th verse, words that ring so true: Ruler supreme, who hearest humble prayer, Hold our Dominion in thy loving care; Help us to find, O God, in thee A lasting, rich reward, As waiting for the better day, We ever stand on guard.

New tourist Bureau Will open on monday “Town workmen are busy on the finishing touches this week, prior to the opening of the new Tourist Bureau at the foot of Carson Avenue, on Monday. Painters have all but completed their work and the floor tiles will all be down by tomorrow night. Furnishings for the office have been ordered and some are already on hand. While work on the building is being pushed, grading of the parking area before the building, is also underway. Plans call for hard-surfacing of this area next year. Temporary quarters for the Tourist Bureau were established two weeks ago in the municipal hall, and all displays and exhibits there will be moved to the new location over the weekend. While the Tourist Bureau portion of the smart new building will be in full swing next week, it will be some time before the Museum will be ready. A meeting of the Quesnel Historical Society is being held next Tuesday, and at that time arrangements will be made for moving exhibits into the new permanent quarters.” This Column is to highlight our 50th Anniversary

A hard time waking up in game two A flameless first kills Crossfire
JONAS GAGNON Observer Reporter If you could only ignore the first 20 minutes and the Crossfire wish they could, last night’s playoff game against the Assault was a close, hard fought game. If only. Unfortunately for the Crossfire, the first period counted and it lost them the game. “We were obviously not ready to play,” coach Pat Gibbs said. “Everyone, from our goalie to our runners just wasn’t ready.” The Assault started the game scoring almost at will as the Crossfire struggled to put their game together. Ten goals later for the Assault, with the Crossfire only netting two, the period was over and the team retreated to the dressing room. Whatever talk Gibbs gave them in the dressing room worked, as the Crossfire came out in the second ready to play, with James Teer taking over goaltending duties from Bob Mills. “Get rid of that first period and everybody who showed up played their asses off,” Gibbs said. Just over a minute into the second, the Crossfire scored their third goal of the game, which started a back and forth
A Crossfire player gets crunched by an Assault duo on the way to the net in Wednesday’s 17-9 loss. It’s the Crossfire’s second loss of the five game series, which will have the team fighting to continue their season next Monday in Prince George. Jonas Gagnon photo
between the two teams. The Assault posted a couple goals soon after, to which the Crossfire responded with a goal of their own. The period continued to ping pong,
ending at 6-15 for the Assault as the Crossfire found their feet, but couldn’t rack up enough goals to gain any ground. The third promised to be a difficult
affair, as the Crossfire were down nine against a very strong Assault. Despite the hole, the Crossfire pushed as hard through the third as in the second, impressing Gibbs with their perseverance. Despite a hard push, the Crossfire had problems gaining ground, with Drew Davies continuing a streak of ringing the ball of the posts. At the half way point in the period, the Crossfire started to get some traction with Devin Whalen contributing to a run of three unanswered goals. The Assault, however, had the last word with one minute left, leaving the score at 17-9 for the Assault. The game was a step up from their first game of the series and Gibbs hopes to grow and get better. The next game is in P.G. however, and last time they were there, the Crossfire could only scrounge up 11 runners, which put too much pressure on the few players they had, causing an uneven game. The Crossfire are now down 2-0 in the five-game series and in the next game, in P.G. on July 2, they will be fighting to stay alive. On the other side of the playoffs, the fourth ranked Devils beat the top-ranked Bandits, 14-13 in their first game of the series.
Men’s Open Golf Tournament goes to playoff JONAS GAGNON Observer Reporter James Pederson and Brad Chudiak were the overall winners at the Quesnel Men's Open Tournament last weekend. Chudiak was the overall net winner, at 137, and James Pederson was the overall gross winner, at 144. While Pederson won outright, Chudiak faced a three-hole playoff against George McGibbon that went down to the very last hole. Chudiak hit what he called his best shot of the weekend, saving his chance to birdie on the first hole and putting him ahead of McGibbon. McGibbon
tied it up on the second hole to put the two at a dead heat in their last hole. McGibbon, however, missed a putt coming back from an overzealous hit, while Chudiak hit his putt after playing conservatively on the hole and won the playoff. "It's always exciting to play a playoff," Chudiak said. "It gets the juices flowing." The tournament also featured KPs, on holes three, seven, 14 and 16, a longest drive competition on hole two and ten, along with a hole-in-one competition that went unwon. On Saturday, Brian Steeves hit the KP on hole three. Brett Labrossiere took the
KP on hole 7 and George McGibbon took it on hole 14. Derrick Walters took the final KP of the day on hole 16. Sunday it was Troy Walters, Steve Sheldon, Wayne Carifelle Sr. and Shane Hrushka who took the four KPs. Chudiak hit the longest drive onthe second hole Saturday, adding another feather to his cap for the weekend. Steve Redden hit the long drive on hole 10 Saturday. On Sunday it was Brian Wells and Wayne Carifelle Jr. who took the long drives on hole 2 and 10 respectively. Will Beningfield won flight one with a gross score of 147, followed by Wayne Carifelle Jr., 148, and Jordan

The athletes had the chance to demonstrate some of their newly acquired skills in front of their parents. Many will take a short break and then do summer camp training, while others take the summer off and return to eagerly learn more in September. The evening also consisted of special awards. Emmi Vahaaho was recognized for her sportsmanship. Despite being injured for much of the season, she still attended meets to cheer on her team. Isaac Woollends was awarded the gold for all around achievement Jessica Higgins, Alyssa Schneider, Celina DeRose, Presley Kitamura, Emily Gorder all got into the “Under 1 club,” which is a representation of athletes that have an exceptionally clean performance during competitions throughout the season.
