Petitioners speak out on secondary suite decision AUTUMN MacDONALD Observer Reporter After a court decision to dismiss a petition over secondary suites in Johnson Subdivision, petitioners are speaking out. “I don’t feel like justice was served,” Susan Maile said. “Or democracy for that matter – how democratic is this council?” Maile, along with fellow petitioner John Higgins, say they never felt listened to. “Obviously they [coun-

cil] were not listening very closely,” Higgins said. “We had a large population in opposition. Residents in this area were ruled, not served.” Mayor Mary Sjostrom said she’s pleased the court found the city not in contravention of the Local Government Act. “Development Services followed all of the legislative and local bylaw requirements for this spot zoning application,” she said. “Spot zoning to permit secondary suites is the

mechanism our bylaws (OCP and zoning bylaw) utililize to consider secondary suite applications. “This is the sixth application in which we have used this tool under our existing policy.” For her part, Maile, who moved into her current location more than 40 years ago, says she feels council’s decision was made for them. “I have a real feeling the mayor has absolute sway over other councillors,” she said. “I feel this decision

was personal.” Maile says she plans on taking her municipal concerns to Premier Chirsty Clark. “We need full discussions in council chambers,” she said. And that’s where Maile and Higgins feel the city and the courts let them down. “We were steam rolled,” she said. “It wasn’t discussed as thoroughly as it should have been,” Higgins added, pointing to the city planning department and his inability to compre-

hend their decision to advise council to move forward. “There’s safety concerns, traffic issues... I don’t think it was thoroughly looked into by planning,” Higgins said. As for the courts, Maile pointed to the Official Community Plan and the petitioners initial complaint. “We didn’t challenge the law,” she said, adding how pleased the petitioners were by their representation, Karen Surcess. “We challenged the OCP which states residents will

be heard – were we?” Sjostrom said “moving forward” she wants the community to know staff has been directed to review policy for spot zoning for secondary suites. “...with consideration to be given to permitting secondary suites in all single family zones. This will include a significant communications process where staff will be seeking input from the public.” “What’s the point in public hearings,” Maile challenged, “when you don’t listen?”

CRD endorses MultiCentre budget resolution

The CRD endorsed a resolution put forward by the North Cariboo Joint Planning Committee regarding the North Cariboo Multi-Centre. The resolution confirmed that the project requires a $30 million budget to proceed and included an allocation of $20,000 from the North Cariboo Recreation and Parks budget to continue to support the Multi-Centre Fundraising initiatives over the summer months.

Cariboo licensees Keith Dufresne, Project Leader and Guenter Weckerle, Chair, for the Cariboo Licensees Land Use Strategy Committee (CLLUSC), appeared before the Board to speak about the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations’ MidTerm Timber Supply Project. The presentation focused on an overview of what the MidTerm Timber Supply means to the region, timelines in the industry and a science based review process. Weckerle provided an overview of the CLLUSC observations and recommendations as well as encouragement for the Regional District to engage in the science based review process.

Independent office Richard Rosenthal, Chief Civilian Director, and Ralph Krenz, Senior Investigator – Manager Stakeholder Relations, from the Independent Investigative Office (IIO) of BC, presented information about the IIO. The IIO has jurisdiction in the investigation of on and off-duty police officers in the

province when a serious or major police incident occurs. The three key goals of the IIO are; complete thorough, fair, competent investigations; improve timeliness of investigations; and improve transparency and accountability through public reporting. Further information about the IIO is available online at iiobc.ca.

Funds authorized The board authorized up to $350 to be shared equally among Electoral Areas D, F, G, H, L Director Initiative funds for the cost of coffee and tea service plus two lunches for the facilitator at two Northern Interior Communities Association Grant Writing Workshops in Williams Lake and 100 Mile House in August 2013. The Northern Interior Communities Association (NICA) works with non-profit organizations in northern B.C. to write and submit successful grant applications to the British Columbia Community Gaming Grant program. The Cariboo Regional District has partnered with the NICA over the past two years to bring their workshop to the Cariboo through the Community Grant Writer program. In 2012, approximately 60 people attended and successful applications and appeals to the Gaming Grant program

were submitted.

New Prosperity The Cariboo Regional District will be registering as a participant in the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency’s New Prosperity Gold-Copper Mine Federal Review Panel Public Hearing. The General Public Hearing sessions are scheduled to take place in Williams Lake July 22-25 in the Gibraltar Room of the Cariboo Memorial Complex. The deadline to register as a participant for the General Hearing sessions is July 15. Further information about the Federal environmental assessment process is available online at ceaa-acee.gc.ca.

An electronic version of the publication is also available on the CRD website at cariboord.bc.ca/ Services/Heritage.

Chayenne Benko was looking to become more social when she decided to join the Miss Quesnel Self Development Program. “I thought it would be a good opportunity to make some new friends,” she said. Having a fellow candidate encourage her, Benko joined the program and quickly realized how beneficial it would be. “My favourite part is getting out in the community and meeting new people,” Benko explained. As with most other candidates, Benko was nervous about the public speaking aspect of the program, “Public speaking has been the most difficult part,” she said. “We get lots of practice speaking in public and we get to talk through a microphone and speak at events, “Talking to other people has helped me too.” Benko enjoys spending her spare time playing the guitar, which she picked up when she was in grade seven. She also likes hanging out with her friends and drawing.

Charissa Paras was encouraged to pursue the Miss Quesnel Self Development Program when current Quesnel royalty Katey Genereux recommended it to her. Another reason Paras decided to join the program was to gain self confidence, self esteem and to prove to herself that she could do it. The program has shown itself to be beneficial in several aspects for Paras. “The program has helped with my public speaking because we’ve had to get up in front of people, speak to them and give speeches,” she said. Paras is hoping to become an ambassador for Quesnel and has a lot to bring to the role. “I’ll bring confidence and I’ll make my city proud.”

Isla Butler has learned to appreciate the Gold Pan City much more during her time with the Miss Quesnel Self Development Program. “It is a wonderful opportunity to take part here and to learn more about the beautiful town of Quesnel,” she said. Although she has enjoyed most of her experience so far, Butler did find herself having to face her fear. “I learned to overcome my personal fear with public speaking,” she explained. “I had done theatre, but hadn’t actually done much public speaking.” Butler is still working on overcoming her fear. “Being able to become more comfortable speaking in front of large groups of people has been one of my largest goals to overcome in the program so far,” she said. Butler has enjoyed spending more time getting to know her city. “My favourite part has to be learning so much about the community I live in,” she said, adding if chosen to be Quesnel royalty, she would bring a sense of confidence, as well as being a role model. “I would show what a woman can do when she puts herself in a program and puts herself out there and takes opportunities,” she said.

wo people were charged last week in one of the most disturbing terrorist plots to be hatched on Canadian soil. John Stewart Nuttall and Amanda Marie Korody were arrested July 1 on terrorism-related charges after the planting of disabled pressure cooker bombs outside the legislature in Victoria. Yet, only days later, civil libertarians were calling for more detail on how police investigated the Canada Day bomb plot, to see if officers came too close to entrapping the accused Surrey couple. Doubts have grown in some minds about the pair’s ability to carry out an act of terrorism as more information emerged about their impoverished life, living on social assistance without a vehicle and getting methadone treatment for drug addiction. Police say they became “self-radicalized” to support the Al-Qaeda ideology and posed a serious threat to kill or maim people. Micheal Vonn, policy director for the B.C. Civil Liberties Association, said the concern is that undercover officers may have interacted with the suspects to further the plot and provide assistance. Authorities apparently knew of the plan for five months, and were closely monitoring the couple. Vonn sees parallels to the “Mr. Big” investigations where officers pose as a crime boss and his henchmen, and goad a suspect to say or do incriminating things in order to become part of the organization. It is hard to imagine two people voluntarily agreeing to be involved in a plan to kill and wound hundreds of Canada Day revellers. And if police did engage with the suspects to determine how far they’d go, or if others were involved, it simply shows there are confused or “radicalized” or unbalanced individuals out there vulnerable to suggestions that such evil violence is justified. Kudos to the Canadian secret service and the RCMP for doing their jobs – the protection of innocent people. –Black Press

Empty seats for political theatre P

remier Christy Clark didn’t win a seat in time to join her 48 fellow B.C. Liberal MLAs in the legislature for the summer session she ordered up. By the time the byelection in Westside-Kelowna is certified by Elections B.C., Clark will be off to Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ont. to meet with her fellow premiers in what is now loftily called the Council of the Federation. These gatherings used to be called First Ministers’ Conferences, and there was a set ritual, largely designed for the consumption of network television. Provincial premiers ganged up on the prime minister to demand federal “funding” for every conceivable need, just as municipal leaders get together each year to present their demands to the B.C. government. Prime Minister Stephen Harper ended the show, declining to play the role of villain in this bit of political summer stock theatre, and it’s unlikely that any future national leader would reverse this prudent decision. The result, at least among western premiers, has been

Tom Fletcher

B.C. Views a quieter, more pragmatic effort to work together, rather than clumsy attempts to play a shell game with taxpayers’ pockets. The public got tired of this routine some time ago. I don’t need a poll to tell me this is one of the reasons for the decline in voter participation and engagement in issues. Today, politicians frequently remind themselves out loud that there is “only one taxpayer” supporting the squabbling layers of this over-governed country. And yet, the same mistake keeps being made over and over by opposition politicians, and dutifully reported by the news media. The notion that all problems can and should be solved by “more government funding” is now so engrained in our education system that it seems inescapable.

patiently explained what was really going on here. An average $35 monthly rent for wheelchairs is charged at the majority of care facilities, which are contracted by the health authority. Operators charge as they see fit for maintenance, disinfection and replacement of this equipment, for patients who don’t own their own chairs. In September, a $25 fee is to be extended to the few facilities still directly run by Fraser Health, which have aging equipment and no fees. In all facilities, the fee is waived for those who can’t afford it. It would be useful for our politicians to frankly discuss the trend towards contracted health services, and the role of user fees in forcing people to take more responsibility for maintaining their own health. But that is not what happens. The narrative of dumping frail, impoverished seniors from their wheelchairs has no relationship to reality, but it’s how post-modern political theatre is done.

One of the NDP’s big “gotcha” items last week was the failure of the B.C. government to buy the latest sonar technology to locate and recover the bodies of people who have drowned in one of our thousands of lakes and rivers. As with the healthcare system, as soon as something is invented, some assume a right to it, regardless of cost. Another big opposition target was the province’s failure to buy up remote properties in the Kootenays that have been discovered to be at high risk of further landslides such as the one that swept through a year ago. The question of limits for protecting people who choose to build homes in risky locations seldom comes up in our political-media theatre. The media’s key ingredients are sympathetic victims to fit their narrative that all corporations and governments are greedy, stingy, callous and incompetent in everything they do. What the opposition has dubbed “Christy Clark’s wheelchair tax” is another case in point. A Fraser Health Authority official

Get under control Editor: Re: Get ready for Hydro rate hikes (B.C. Views, July 10). Yes, the BC Hydro rate increase tsunami is coming after the earthquake of B.C. government debt. This will hit lower income people – hard. All levels of government are increasing fees and service rates rather than raise income taxes on those who can contribute more and pay more property tax. I don’t want to see any drastic action to increase job loss, but governments at all levels need to limit their spending growth to the level of inflation and get borrowing under control. Phil Harrison Comox

End electric car subsidies Editor: Re: Get ready for Hydro rate hikes (B.C. Views, July 10). Tom Fletcher’s article reiterates what we have been told for some time. A large part of the future BC Hydro rate increase is caused by the fact that expansion of generating facilities delivers new power at a rate higher than today’s rates. However, the government is bribing people to switch to electric cars, contributing to consumption increases which will cause rate increases for us all. Provincial consumption is also high because, although the E-Plus contracts with residential customers expired decades ago, the government is choosing to grandfather the “half-price electric heat” offer for political reasons. Also, some large government buildings are still being heated this way. At the same time, the minister is telling us that we are producing more natural gas than we need, so we should be consuming large amounts of energy to compress it and ship it overseas. Should the first step not be to switch to natural gas-powered cars, natural gas heating for almost all homes where possible, and for all large government buildings? The grant money for electric car purchases should be diverted to incentives for this move. Right now, electric cars are causing the burning of fuels at distant power plants anyway, because that is where our “last watt” comes from. Rein Nienaber Saanich

Letters to the Editor

Re: Get ready for Hydro rate hikes (B.C. Views, July 10). While NDP energy critic John Horgan asserts there is no business case for a nation building project like the Northwest Transmission Line, a line that will bring power to a huge part of the province currently running off diesel generators, our government believes investments such as this are exactly what BC Hydro should be doing. This project will open up world class mineral deposits and support new mines, like Red Chris, one of the top 10 copper gold deposits in the world. In fact, the Mining Association of BC estimates the line could attract more than $15 billion in mining investment, creating up to 10,000 jobs and generating $300 million in annual tax revenues. None of this happens unless we build the line to provide the power these mines need. We need to ensure we have a diverse grid that can provide reliable power today, and into the future. That’s why we continue to support new, cleaner sources of power such as wind and run of river. Do these sources produce power at a higher cost than what our heritage assets do? Of course they do. Like most other things, it costs more today to produce power than it did decades ago. But these sources are cleaner than alternatives such as coal or gas and less expensive than building brand new hydroelectric dams. We are investing in projects that are powering our needs today and ensuring we will have the power we need for our future. The unprecedented opportunity in liquefied natural gas and other growing sectors such as mining must be supported with stable, secure power. This is what we are building. You can’t make these kinds of legacy investments that will benefit all British Columbians without putting pressure on rates. Contrary to some reports, BC Hydro is managing their capital projects within their planned budget. There are a couple of projects over budget but most are under budget. I have been very clear that my mandate, as given to me by the premier, is to minimize rate increases while continuing to make historic investments in Hydro’s infrastructure to grow our economy. I am committed to accomplishing this goal. Bill Bennett Minister of Energy and Mines

Breath of fresh air Cycling 200 kilometres might seem like a long haul to most, but for Quesnel’s Jean Seymour (pictured) the BC Lung Association’s annual Bicycle Trek for Life and Breath (Trek) is an event she looks forward to all year long – and has done for the past 23 years. Celebrating its 29th year, Trek participants – including Jean – have raised close to $6 million in support of lung health and clean air since the event was first established in 1984.

Billy Barker Days 40th anniversary festival set to begin Thursday

M

aureen Murray has sat in the Billy Barker Days (BBD) souvenir booth for the past 15 years and loves every minute. “I’m a souvenir buyer and when they threatened to shut the booth down, well that’s when I joined,” she said. “It’s been mine every since. “While I was still working, I used a week’s worth of holidays just making sure the booth was staffed by volunteers as well as the time I spent. I quit my job to do this full time.” Now as the festival approaches, the booth is moved from its Reid Street location to down in LeBourdais Park and Murray will spend 12 hours a day in her tiny little empire, selling Billy Buttons, a host of different Tee-shirts and other festival souvenirs. This year, there’s no program to purchase. Both the souvenir booth and the BBD office provide a festival at a glance free handout. “With no program, we can quickly update any changes to the festival at a glance to make sure the public has the most current information,” she said. As the 40th Billy Barker Days is just days away, there are a few new things the public should be aware of. Although there’s been much fanfare about the parade route changes, Maureen Murray, BBD volunteer and merchandise

director would like to say, one more time, the annual parade will no longer travel down Front Street, but rather wind its way through North Quesnel beginning at the foot of Bowron Avenue. Parade participants can access the marshalling area by driving down Shepherd to Murphy then onto Bowron Avenue. However, possibly the most important information, especially for residents in North Quesnel is the parade route (see on BBD website, visit the office in LeBourdais Park or call 250-992-1234) must be cleared beginning at 6 a.m. on Saturday, July 20. The Billy Barker Days Society is authorized to remove (tow) any vehicles still parked on the parade route at the that magic hour of 6 a.m. For those wishing to view the parade (always a festival favourite) it would be a good idea to get a copy of the parade route, scout out the viewing possibilities and mark you spot early to ensure you won’t be disappointed. As always, BBD volunteers encourage everyone to be respectful of private property and be considerate of the other parade enthusiasts. Billy Buttons are selling like hotcakes, especially in view of the additional cash prizes being offered in this 40th anniversary year. In addition to the three gold nugget prizes, they’ve added four mystery cash prizes. This provides purchases of the $5 buttons with double the chances of winning as BBD has produced the same number of buttons

as last year. You’ll also notice a change of colour on the buttons, the ruby hue is in keeping with the 40th anniversary – ruby is the stone commemorating 40 years. Tee-shirts are also sporting the new colour, as well as a special 40th anniversary logo designed by Barry Curtis, son of Jason Curtis the artist who created many of the murals around Quesnel. BBD has added several new styles in the women Tee-shirts and carry sizes all the way up to 3X. “Even if you don’t usually buy a shirt, this is a special year and everyone should have a 40th anniversary edition,” Murray said. With the opening of the Gold Dust Mall on Thursday at 10 a.m., BBDays really kicks off. Seniors are invited to take in the entertainment in LeBourdais Park anytime between 11 a.m. – 4 p.m. and for the amusement rides enthusiast, Shooting Star Amusements starts their engines at 11 a.m. as well. Of course, who doesn’t bring their children to Kids Day in the Park for all kinds of fun events including beloved Canadian children’s entertainers Sharon and Bram’s performance at 3 p.m. The evening wraps up with an electric performance by Aaron Pritchett. And what would BBDays be without a healthy dose of amateur rodeo. The dust kicks up Friday night and continues until the finals on Sunday. Remember the changes

for the parade on Saturday and pick your spot early (also get to town early because its the one day of the year where Quesnel jams up.) There’s pancake breakfasts, giant inflatable games for teens in LeBourdais Park, noon to 7 p.m., non-stop entertainment on the Friendship Stage, another Sharon and Bram performance and an evening performance by Kenny Shields and Streetheart. Saturday also boasts a Roller Derby bout in the Twin Arenas and two dances, the Barn Dance at the Multi-plex in Alex Fraser Park and a brand new dance at the Seniors’ Centre which gets underway right after the performance in LeBourdais Park finishes. Dress is casual. Tickets for either dance are $25 each. Sunday the pace slows a little, kicking off at 7 a.m. with a pancake breakfast, a church service in LeBourdais Park then activities for the little ones, including the teddy bear clinic and the tooth booth. Entertainment continues in the park along with your last chance to purchase a Billy Button. Perennial favourites are not to miss such as Crash to Pass on Thursday night and the Mud Bogs and Stock Car Racing Saturday and Sunday at the mud bog pits and the race track off Racing Road. All in all the 40th anniversary has all the elements of a great festival and so far the weather forecast is for sunny skies all the way through, July 18 – 21. For details visit BillyBarkerDays.ca.

Rex Pemberton thrills audiences every time ANNIE GALLANT Observer Reporter

Amazing wingwalker

From almost the beginning of aviation history, ever since the first shaky flights in flimsy contraptions, daredevil adventurers have been walking on the wings. Carol Pilon, who hails from Masham, Quebec, is following this tradition and will dazzle audience in Quesnel during Skyfest - Quesnel’s International Air Show, Aug. 3 – 4 at the Quesnel Airport. Pilon first saw wing walking on a television commercial for a local air show and it was love at first sight. She’d found her calling. Pilon has been a professional wingwalker since 2000 and performed with no less than 17 different pilots, ten of which she helped accredit on five different types of aircraft. Her company, Third Strike Wingwalking has a few constants which they bring to every performance – a bright red biplane, a daring wing walker, the best pilot skills available and mountains of billowing smoke. You will find a smile under every tumble. Pilon is the first and only Canadian wingwalker and together with one of her company’s pilots, Melissa Pemberton, they form the only all-woman team in existence and they’ll both be performing in Quesnel. As if it wasn’t exciting enough, looking up at the sky during Skyfest just got a whole lot more thrilling with Carol Pilon. She has experience in dual wingwalking, formation wingwalking, nighttime pyro wingwalking and she simply excels at solo wingwalking. Tickets for Skyfest are available at Circle ‘S’ Western Wear, Skyfest website an the Tourist Info Centre for weekend passes, day passes and weekend camping packages. For information on Skyfest visit www.quesnelskyfest.ca.

You can’t separate Melissa and Rex Pemberton as airshow performers, at least not when they’re performing together – he in his amazing wingsuit and she in her Edge 540 aircraft. Rex, who has a stunning career in the mountain climbing world, the motivational speaker world and several other successes, also has a rather unusual air show performance. What began in the 1940s as a somewhat unsuccessful attempt at increasing horizontal movement, these early wingsuits were not very reliable.

Between 1930 and 1961, 72 of the 75 original birdmen died testing their wingsuits. With increased instruction and safety features, performers such as Rex Pemberton now incorporate wingsuits in their show. Outfitted with his wingsuit, Rex leaps from a plane and races toward

earth, trailing orange smoke from canisters strapped to his ankles while Melissa, one of the world’s best aerobatics pilots, paints a white smoky corkscrew around her husband. This unique combination of a skydiving and aerobatic performance is a one-of-a-kind high-energy formation display, sure to thrill and astound those viewing from the ground. Tickets for Skyfest are available at Circle ‘S’ Western Wear, Skyfest website an the Tourist Info Centre for weekend passes, day passes and weekend camping packages. For information on Skyfest visit www. quesnelskyfest.ca.

For fast-paced, hard-hitting roller derby action plan to be at the Twin Arenas Saturday night. Observer file photo

3rd Annual Gold Rush Rumble

Season finale set for Saturday at Twin Arenas Screaming fans, the smell of popcorn and French fries, the anticipation of the whistle and hard hitting derby action is almost here! The Gold Pain City Derby Girls are finishing up their second full season of bouting with the 3rd Annual Gold Rush Rumble held at the Twin Arenas on the Friday night of Billy Barker Days, July 19. Doors open at 6 p.m., whistle is at 7 p.m., with great derby action, 50/50 draws, beer garden, concession and an after party.
The team has made a few changes to the event this year. The most important is that the team will be donating all the proceeds from the 50/50 draw to one of our own, Willow Eyford ‘Willowmeana’ for her mother, Christa Eyford, who has

been in treatment for cancer and kidney failure for some time now. Christa, who is an honorary Gold Pain Girl, is one of our biggest fans and we’re all hoping that we can ease the financial strain that having been in treatment so long has created.
Another big change to the event is that the after party will not be at the arena. Did I just hear a collective cheer? We did our best to host the after party the last two Gold Rush Rumbles, but with licensing requiring us to clear the place out before bringing in the after party crowd, we had too many disappointed fans that just left. So, this year we’re having it downstairs in the banquet room at the Billy Barker Casino Hotel directly after the bout. The tickets are presale

only and include entrance, appetizer buffet, your first drink and dancing! We hope to sell out, so if you’re interested in celebrating with the Gold Pain Girls, get your tickets right away! Last month the team travelled to Fort St. John to play the ECRDA Killbillies! It was an intense bout! The Gold Pain Girls took the lead at about the fifth or sixth jam and managed to hold onto it throughout the game. At one point we were 95 points ahead. Our jammers were in top form and our walls were solid! We had several injuries, an expulsion, a foul out and we still managed to win the bout 200 – 141. We are super excited to have the Killbillies coming to us for a rematch at Gold Rush Rumble. We are

SkyfeSt SponSorS: Quesnel Septic Quesnel toyota Big Country printers

confident that with our fans cheering us on, we can have another win! The action is on the way and we encourage everyone to come out with signs for their favourite derby girl and whoop and holler

our team to victory! Tickets for the bout and the after party are on sale at Reason 2 Run or from any of the derby girls! Go get ‘em! – Submitted by Reni Rinkrash (Dorine Lamarche)

Camp Puntchesakut gets facelift from BP Service Association

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

Drug resistance is one of the most serious problems developing in healthcare now and into the future. Much of this is due to the overuse of antibiotic drugs in some countries where people expect a pill for every ill they see the doctor about. Often this isn’t needed. Antibiotics are to be used only for true infections. Don’t feel bad if you demand a smokefree hotel room when you travel. The idea of thirdhand smoke is a real one. The term was coined a few years ago and refers to the residue that smoking leaves on carpets, sofas, walls and clothing. It doesn’t go away easily. The danger is much smaller than secondhand smoke but the exposures are longer. How can you discourage mosquitos from biting? Avoid fragrant soaps and body lotions; avoid bright, floral colours and stick to the dull ones; cover as much of your body as comfortably possible...less area to bite; get rid of body sweat...mosquitos like that. Signing up to be an organ-donor makes good business sense for saving healthcare dollars. For example, it costs over $70,000 per year to maintain one person on kidney dialysis. The initial cost of a kidney transplant is nearly $100,000 then follow-up treatment and medication costs under $22,500 yearly. In the long run, organ transplant saves a lot of money. Have you signed up to be a donor? The people who work in our pharmacy are our greatest asset. Let one of them serve you soon.

$5000 was awarded to BP Service Association for the second phase of renovations to Camp Puntchesakut. This phase will see the completion of the Cookhouse renovation plus the complete rehabilitation of the staff cabin. BP Service Association is an independent Traditional Scouting movement. Traditional scouting refers to using the original program and principles set down in “Scouting for Boys”, by Lord Baden-Powell, the founder of the scouting movement around the world. In broad terms, it is a program of development of each youth in his or her full potential through character development, outdoor adventure, leadership training, service to others, understanding and caring for the environment, stimulating respect for self and others, building self-confidence to meet challenges. Participants learn useful skills, develop healthy habits, build teamwork and friendships, and receive an education in life. Camp Puntchesakut was built in 1957 and used by the Anglican Church until 2000. The camp sat dormant for several years until 2008, when BP Service Association leased the camp. The camp is used year round for outdoor education and is available for use by other youth groups. Visit www.bpsa-bc.org or email ric14@ gmail.com for more information on BP Service Association. Does your club/organization have a summer project that needs funding? We are now accepting Letters of Intent for our summer Grant Cycle.

Kings and Queens of Diamonds JONAS GAGNON Observer Reporter West Fraser Timber Park was filled with spectators and athletes as Quesnel softball teams played for their honour in front of a home town crowd. Sunday as the tournament wound up to its finish, crowds were treated to two close games in the finals for both the men’s and women’s. The local CJ Directory Ringers stayed true to their name, beating the Kalmore Crush from Ft. St. John in the final

innings of the final game for the men. On the women’s side there was heart break, with the Prince George Blue Jayns beating the local Fembots in extra innings to take first place. It was more than honour riding on the final game as the pot was sweetened with a $1,000 award for first. Second didn’t have anything to cry about either, raking in a $700 pot. The Prince George 10 Most Wanted, on the mens side, and Dawson Creek’s The Edge, for the

women, took third and $400 for their troubles. Action started Friday, with local teams facing off against each other ahead of Saturday, when the tournament really lit off, with the out of towners getting in on the fray as well. The tournament was hosted by the Fembots as they sharpen their skills ahead of nationals early next month. “It was fantastic, despite the rain Sunday,” Candace Miller, a Fembot, said. There was a great turnout of spectators,

Miller said, as people who dropped by the park during the periods of sun stayed to take in a game or two adding to the crowd of friends and family already there. The Fembots hosted a full roster of eight teams in each category, drawing in teams from Prince George, Williams Lake, Dawson Creek and Fort St. John. They also had a great showing from the local teams, with four mens and four ladies teams from Quesnel taking part in the tournament.

Dead heat under grey skies JONAS GAGNON Observer Reporter After hours of competition, Prince George and Quesnel lawn bowlers finished the day in a dead heat, so the trophy remains in limbo, but physically in Quesnel. With an equal amount of players, 12, both teams ended the annual Prince George-Quesnel lawn bowling tournament with 218 points. That leaves the trophy, which usually goes with the winning team to grace their club house in a weird spot. “Our trophy bowl will remain in Quesnel until August when we’ll do our return visit,” president of

the Quesnel Lawn Bowling Club, Claude Mercereau said. Helene Boudreau and Vic Lund, both local lawn bowlers, tied for first place in the individual competition, with Prince George lawn bowlers coming in second and third. The sky threatened the games with rain, but held off until the end of the competition. Mercereau was happy with the tournament and the potluck lunch afterward. The two teams will break their tie on August 14 when Quesnel bowlers will take the action to Prince George, where they won last year.
