CRD successful at UBCM convention AUTUMN MacDONALD Observer Reporter

The CRD saw success during the Union of British Columbia Municipalities convention last week. Resolutions for the Rural B.C. project, requirements for working smoke alarms, noxious weeds and range lands, all met with endorsement from the UBCM membership. Two other resolutions, including tax revenue for the protection of animals and Heritage Week, were referred to the UBCM Executive Committee due to time constraints. Landing a Gold Star honourable mention for its noxious weeds and range resolution, the resolution also requested government to assist the ranching community in controlling noxious weeds including provincial requirements, assisting with costs associated with obtaining a pesticide applicator’s certificate and more. Throughout the week-long Vancouver conference, CRD directors met with three ministers to discuss local issues, including Minister of Health Terry Lake to review GR Baker’s master plan. Wednesday, CRD Chair Al Richmond, Directors John Massier and Jim Glassford met with the Minister of Transportation and Infrastructure Todd Stone to discuss issues of transportation routes through the Nazko Gateway area. The final meeting was with Minister of Jobs, Tourism and Skills Training and the Minister Responsible for Labour, Shirley Bond. Discussions centred around the concept of taxation

relief for resort owners and the economic benefits and employment opportunities from the development of the Nazko Gateway. “There’s a lot of potential jobs,” Richmond said. “It could have tremendous impact on the region.” Richmond represents the region on the UBCM executive board as second vice president. This is his sixth consecutive year on the UBCM board. Mayor Mary Sjostrom represents the city as past president; this is her eighth year. CRD director and Vice-Chair Ted Armstrong was presented with a Special Long Service Award for his 35 years of public office. Armstrong was first elected to the CRD Board in 1978 as the Electoral Area A Director after serving as an alternate director in 1977. A partnership project between The Gold Pan City, Williams Lake, 100 Mile House, Wells, the CRD and Esk’etemc, garnered recognition with an award for excellence in partnerships for their St. Joseph’s Mission Residential School Commemorative Project. “I would like to commend our regional partners, board and our staff for taking concepts and turning them into award-winning efforts as seen by the Noxious Weeds and the St. Joseph’s Mission Residential School Commemorative Project,” Richmond said. “This is the first time for a partnership as big as that. It’s something to be proud of.” For city resolutions and highlights, see Friday’s Observer.

Council amends financial plan

Council approved the first two readings of the City of Quesnel 2013 to 2017 Financial Plan Amendment Bylaw No. 1725. In accordance with Section 165 of the Community Charter, the City of Quesnel is required to adopt by bylaw a five year financial plan. The financial plan must outline the proposed expenditures, revenues and transfers between funds for the next five years. If there are projects proposed during the year that were not in the original financial plan, an amendment bylaw must be approved.

Expansion The first project is to expand the airport apron. The current apron is 52,500 square feet, one of the smallest certified airport aprons in B.C., and cannot accommodate

A grant has been received from Northern Development Initiative Trust in the amount of $244,815 under the Economic Diversification Infrastructure Program. The city has committed to provide $105,000 toward the total estimated project cost of $349,815.

These bacterial cells are called the “microbiome” of the body and play important roles in digestion, skin health and our immune system. Bacteria aren’t all bad.

Electronic cigarettes have not been OK’d for sale in Canada. They vaporize pure nicotine to satisfy the smoker’s urge for the nicotine high. However, there is no evidence of the long term safety of inhaling nicotine and the risk of addiction is always a possibility. For now, those wanting to stop smoking can use other forms of nicotine replacement. Our pharmacists can help. Our pharmacists will be happy to talk to you about smoking cessation. As well as having the will to quit and a way of replacing the nicotine you won’t be getting from smoking, good counselling is also really important. We can help. Mon. - Fri. - 8am - 8pm Sat. Sun.

ARTHRITIS

Chronic Pain Management Workshop QUESNEL

Drug researchers are still looking to nature to find ways to treat common diseases. Gout for example affects about 2% of Canadians over the age of 50. The humble cherry might be a source of relief. There is something in cherries that helps decrease the amount of uric acid in the body. Uric acid build-up is associated with the pain and swelling well-known to those with gout.

relocation reserve to proceed. Council has approved the purchase of land for this facility from funds in the public works reserve. The current facility is beyond its lifespan and located within the 200-year flood level. This poses a significant issue; when the city’s services are needed most they may be partially or fully compromised. Renovating or redeveloping the aging infrastructure would require investment that may not be a prudent use of funding due to the location in the flood plain. In the amended bylaw, $480,000 is proposed to be used towards purchasing and preparing land for the new facility and to start the design and cost estimates.

Nelsons bid a final goodbye to Andy Motherwell

On the Labour Day long weekend Monday, my wife Vicki and I drove out to the Blackwater River. I had decided awhile ago that I would like to create a little memorial to Andy Motherwell out where he had done some of his historical “research” – namely, marking the Alexander MacKenzie Trail and the Telegraph Line. I made up a large card and purchased some flowers and tucked it into a bush at the site that marks the beginning of the trail, just north of the Blackwater River. The trail and the Telegraph line kind of cross paths in that area, so I thought it was an appropriate spot. It was a beautiful day and it drew to mind a memory of another day, somewhere in the distant past when we had driven out that way and had run into Andy putting up signs to mark the trail. This is all very noteworthy because of the historic value of his notations of these places. Having paid our respects, we left the Blackwater to return to the Batnuni Road that leads west, on the south side of the river, with the idea of

Vicki Nelson photo doing the Nazko loop (my wife’s idea). Driving along, I couldn’t remember the terrain, but it must have been the old Titetown Road we had previously driven out here on. Vicki couldn’t remember it either. I guess it was about 45 years ago, so you can see how many memories this trip evoked. Vicki was looking for landmarks that didn’t seem to show up. She said it seemed to her that one used to see

signs of the Mackenzie grease trail, but we didn’t see any of that. Maybe we needed to go past the Nazko Road turnoff and on to the lakes. Anyway, we turned onto the Nazko Road, after having crossed the Blackwater River on a bridge that did not resemble the one that we had crossed before and almost immediately crossed another bridge across the Eucheniko River at Gillies Crossing – again, a different

July 26, 1954 ~ September 6 2013 It is with great sadness that the family of Clarence Ian Ralston announce his passing on September 6, 2013 in Grande Praire, Alberta.

recognized different landmarks. I thought all of these roads were new ones, but, funny as it may seem, they were always here and I had to admit it was my memory that was failing. One thing we hadn’t seen before was the massive burn that you drive through north of Nazko. I’m not sure when that took place several years ago, but it still looks pretty grotesque. We drove, it seemed, forever but we finally reached the village of Nazko and decided to stop at the Nazko Restaurant where we had hamburgers and met the new Nazko school principal and his wife and daughter. From there, back into Quesnel. We were definitely driving through familiar territory. It was a good day and a final farewell to Andy. – submitted by Jack Nelson

Beatrice (Bea) McLean (nee Coldwell) 1928 ~ 2013 Bea passed away Sept. 18, 2013 at her long time home, Dunrovin. She will be lovingly remembered by children; Dorothy (Dale), Janet (Paul), Evan (Sandy) and daughter-in-law Barb, twelve grandchildren, many great grandchildren, brothers; Bernie (Evelyn), Jack (Helen), many friends and relatives. Bea was predeceased by her husband Hugh (Mac) in 1991 and son James in 1995. Born in Endiang, AB in 1928 to Reg & Doll Coldwell, moved to Quesnel at age of 2 years with 4 brother and 3 sisters. Her family farmed and ranched in the Bouchie Lake area and later at Blackwater.

In 1947 she married Mac, spending most of their lives in Quesnel area. She was very active in several area Women’s Institutes, Legion Branch 94 and the board during the building of Dunrovin Lodge. She also worked for several years as a taxi dispatcher, then as a proof reader at the Cariboo Observer. Crippled at age 16 she could always lend a hand where ever it was needed.

Change the act

he inquest into the death of a five-year old boy is long overdue. It was November of 2002 when emergency personnel responded to a call from a grandmother stating “apparently he’s not breathing.” Upon arrival they found Jeffrey Baldwin dead and weighing a mere 21 pounds. His caretakers? His grandmother and grandfather. In 2003 both were charged with first-degree murder and forcible confinement. Three years later an Ontario judge convicted them both. They received life in prison. The details of the case were as shocking and heartbreaking as they come; starvation, abandonment, physical abuse, emotional abuse, forced to live in his own filth, his mattress so urine soaked, emergency personnel testified when they pushed on it, liquid squirted out. It is without a doubt Jeffrey’s murderers are sick, twisted monsters who deserve their punishment tenfold, but this inquest needs to look beyond punishment – a serious revision of the Child and Family Services Act is needed. Currently the provincial act imposes a “duty to report” if someone suspects a child is being neglected, it does not impose punishment for it. Only those in care can be charged. Someone, somewhere at sometime noted this little boy’s circumstances and they are not being held accountable. There were other adults in that house who witnessed the slow, painful death of this little boy and they did nothing about it and there’s nothing the courts can do about it. That’s disgusting. This inquest needs to provide the foundation to change the act. Jeffrey Baldwin’s death cannot be in vain. –Autumn MacDonald, Observer

Regulator’s reading on smart meters

espite efforts to keep the smart meter “controversy” alive by repeating imaginary health claims, the end is near. Energy Minister Bill Bennett has made what sounds like a final offer to holdouts. You want to keep your old mechanical meter, fill your boots. It’ll cost you an extra $35 a month, starting in December. If you insist on a “radio off” wireless meter, there will be a setup fee of $100 and a monthly fee of $20 to have someone collect the readings. These charges are to be reviewed by the B.C. Utilities Commission, the independent panel that smart meter opponents want to review BC Hydro’s whole smart grid project. As it happens, the BCUC recently did just that for an application by FortisBC to install wireless meters for its Okanagan and Kootenay customers. The meters were approved, and the findings are instructive. The BCUC report notes that it received “many” complaints about smart meter signals being added to existing radio frequency (RF) sources. Some used

B.C. Views familiar scare rhetoric about “toxic microwave radiation” that’s promoted by people trying to make money by exploiting fear. One of the experts retained by FortisBC was Dr. Yakov Shkolnikov, an electrical engineer with advanced degrees from Princeton and Cornell Universities. His testimony was not challenged by any of the lineup of opponents. A sample of his findings illustrates the absurdity of this whole discussion. Shkolnikov calculated that a cell phone in use generates radio signals that reach 10 per cent of the international safety code limit. A microwave oven generates 2.3 per cent of the safe limit. A cordless phone: 1.25 per cent. A wi-fi signal: 0.0045 per cent. A bank of smart meters, not separated by a wall,

Concerned Citizens. In a 2012 letter to the B.C. energy ministry, Bennett warned of the danger of smart meters triggering “molecular earthquakes.” The BCUC panel wrote: “While Mr. Bennett has an electrician’s knowledge of electrical systems, it is clear that he is unqualified to give expert opinion evidence on the health effects of RF, exposure standards for RF, engineering, physics or geological phenomena such as earthquakes.” Citizens for Safe Technology put up one Dr. Donald Maisch, who claimed to have experience with this issue in Australia. The panel noted that Maisch runs EMFacts Consultancy and agreed with FortisBC’s argument that “Dr. Maisch’s consulting livelihood depends upon public fears and concerns about RF exposure.” Would you like this circus of quackery to be restaged over BC Hydro’s program, at your expense?

registers 0.0019 per cent. The natural background RF level is 0.013 per cent. Note the decimal place. The level in the middle of a wilderness is more than 10 times that received from a bank of meters. BCUC staff added, for comparison, the radio signal level emitted by a human body. It’s 0.018 per cent. What this means is your spouse snoring beside you is a stronger source of RF than a whole wall of smart meters. Experts put up by opponents didn’t fare so well.

Effective use of taxpayers dollars? Editor: A few questions in regards to the MultiCentre for our fair city. 1. Is it really going to cost only $4,000 – 5,000 for a referendum? Lets see-advertising by the city and CRD, staff working on voting day, buildings open for the voting, ballot printing and distribution, cost of counting, verifying and publishing the results, etc, etc, etc. Seems to me that it will cost far more than the figure cited. Would council care to prove this figure by providing the costs from the previous referendum? With the second referendum only weeks away, council

Letters to the Editor

should be able to show the costs (or estimates) on paper with reasonable accuracy. These figures should be made public. 2. Why is the city of Smithers able to build a new facility with an “NHL size ice surface and a first phase seating capacity of at least 350” for $4.7 million with a completion date estimate of September 2014 and we in Q-town are still struggling to gain funding for ours? This information comes from the Northern Development Initiative Trust newsletter that came in my mailbox September of 2013. Did we not give our council approval

(very marginal approval but approval none the less) for borrowing? Was this also not a clear signal to provincial and federal officials that we (well a slim majority of the populace) wanted this project? Perhaps the local MLA (also Minister of Community, Sport and Cultural Development) could provide the public with an answer as to why the provincial government has not stepped up since the referendum to get the ball rolling? Maybe I am comparing apples to oranges here as our project is larger, but it looks like Smithers is able to start and finish

a project while we in Q-town are struggling just to keep the ball, let alone keep the ball in play. 3. Do we really need a building of this size and scope? What would be wrong with replacing the “old rink” only? Seems to me it is the real source of our woes, not the lack of a multi use room and a theatre. Why not just replace our inadequate ice plant and broken down, aged building with something similar to what Smithers is planning – although we need 1,0001,200 seats. This would cut costs and make for a quicker completion date. 4. Do we really need

another multi-use building similar to the Seniors Centre? What will this project do to the Seniors Centre and the money they raise by hosting events? Two multi-use theatre style buildings side by side? Is that we effective use of taxpayer dollars? 5. Can we afford this building moving forward into the socio-economic chaos that will come from the AAC drop that will occur eventually due to the Mountain Pine Beetle? Will we have the tax base to pay the loan and maintain the building going forward? 6. It has been several years since the last

referendum. Do needs and wants for public building projects not change over time? Can we still build this project for what the 2008 estimate was? Has any thought been given to changing the wants for this project so that the needs of the community are met? Hopefully these questions are on everyone’s mind as they head to vote in the next multi centre referendum November 9. And no matter how you feel on this issue please get out and vote so our political leaders at all levels get the message. Joe O’Neill Quesnel

Breast cancer survivor strongly supports WFC and mammography services

Walking with a purpose

Anita Dobie is an 11-year breast cancer survivor who looks forward to participating in the 20th annual Women’s Fall Challenge. Annie Gallant photo

ANNIE GALLANT Observer Reporter

nita Dobie is signed up for the 20th Quesnel Women’s Fall Challenge, Oct. 6, something she’s been participating in for at least 15 years – long before breast cancer changed her life. A routine mammogram in January 2002 wasn’t normal. Dobie was shocked with disbelief. “I was assured the majority of these calcifications are nothing,” she said. “I was good with that reassurance.” A second procedure targeted the area of the calcification and concern changed to fear. “When the mammogram technician went ahead and made a doctor’s appointment for me the fear began to set in,” she said. “I began thinking about my kids and how they’d be rudderless. My husband was in long term care.” However, Dobie had little time to dwell on those thoughts. Within a week she had a biopsy. “All the medical people were so good; they circled the wagons to determine what I was dealing with.” She had her results in five days and her physician, Dr. Sear delivered the devastating news. She had breast cancer, a low level type which was mildly estrogen-fed. Dobie was referred to Dr. Bishop, an oncologist in Prince George, where treatment options were discussed. With the oncologist’s sage advice, Dobie began the first of four chemotherapy treatments in Quesnel. The regime was aptly called Red Devil. After her last treatment May 28, 2002, Dobie headed to Kelowna. Her cancer journey was far from over. At the Kelowna cancer clinic, she discussed whether she would opt for radiation or a mastectomy, followed by a trip to Vancouver to discuss the best choice with a surgeon. “I chose a mastectomy,” she said. “Radiation had potential risks I didn’t want to

chance. My health was far more important than my breast.” These decisions weren’t made with a cool, detached attitude; Dobie worked very hard to maintain a positive, cheerful, optimistic outlook. “Did I cry a lot? Oh yeah! I had times of huge despair, especially during the chemo treatments. They are so debilitating; you’ve got this crappy disease then the treatments knock you flat. You feel at times like you’ll never get better.” Dobie boosted her positive attitude with reading books on positive thinking and imagery and she relied on the amazing support that surrounded her. She admitted the mastectomy could have been done earlier but Dobie is a methodical person who deals with things one at a time, first chemo then the mastectomy in September 2002. “I felt the cancer was gone once I had the surgery,” she said with confidence. But she struggled with what follow-up procedures were right for her. “I chose not to have reconstruction surgery, but then I never felt a devastating loss after the mastectomy,” Dobie said. “But I know many friends who made different choices.”

She knew the experience was life changing and as her life adjusted to the new normal, it took her five years for the stress to lessen around each mammogram. “I demanded a printout of the results each time. I needed to reassure myself it was good.” It’s been 11 years clear for Dobie and she proudly stands tall as a survivor. “The 10-year mark was emotional, possibly more so as my mum faced health challenges at the time. My life has focused on many family life challenges that seemed to leave little time to dwell on negative aspects of cancer. That would have been in direct opposition to my regular sunny disposition.” She went on to say she encourages women to have regular mammograms, do breast self-examination and be pro-active about their own health. “If you have cancer, be pro-active about your choices, your treatments – read and research and make thoughtful decisions about cancer.” Dobie is participating in the Women’s Fall Challenge cancer free but she remembers the race during her cancer treatments. “I walked with my supportive friends and daughter. We did the 5km walk rather than the usual 10km – chemo just knocks it out of you. “I’m a strong supporter of the purpose of QWFC. I’m happy to be one of the 600 or so women walking with a common purpose. Most of the time I don’t want to be labeled as a breast cancer survivor. I don’t think of myself that way – I’m a person with life experiences and cancer is just one of those experiences.” The Quesnel Women’s Fall Challenge is a 5 and 10 km walk, 5 and 10 km run and half marathon, Oct. 6 starting promptly at 9 a.m. from the Dragon Lake boat launch. For entry fees, $30 until Oct. 4 or late fees of $40, Oct. 5 – 6, sign up categories, lunch reservations at $15, or to purchase QWFC merchandise pickup an entry form at the Arts and Rec Centre or visit, qwfc. wordpress.com.

Seniors’ trek to Barkerville 113 seniors enjoyed a day in the historic town

n Sept. 11 some seniors began arriving early at the Quesnel arena with anticipation for the Quesnel Rotary Club’s Seniors Trek to Barkerville. Upon checking in, everyone received identification with the day’s schedule and meal tickets for one of three restaurants: Wake up Jake, Lung Duck Tong or House Hotel, all encased in a zip lock bag with ribbon to be worn around our neck. What a great way of getting things organized and keeping names straight with those we met throughout the day. An entourage of two buses from Pacific Western Charter out of Prince George provided transportation to 113 seniors, including residents from Dunrovin Park Lodge on a third bus. Some of the eight accompanying rotarians went out in two cars. A pick-up was made at Maeford Place. For several seniors it was the first time they had been to Barkerville. One of the senior travelers was Paul Gauthier, who has just celebrated his

101st birthday. On behalf of all of us who had the privilege of going, we would like to give a big collective thank you to the Quesnel Rotary Club. It is a big undertaking. And it wasn’t without its problems. Some had tried to register but were told buses were full. Trek organizer Ron Paull explained the difficulty coordinating three lists where seniors could register: OAPO Golden Centre, Seniors Centre and the Royal Canadian Legion. When Paull tried to pick up the Legion’s list he found they were closed for renovations. There will be a meeting Sept. 19 to strategize next year’s trip and he has a few ideas on that. One of the suggestions he will put forward is to only have one list where people can register with date and time noted. This way the 110 seats will be allotted in order. They will shoot for 115 – 116 and if there are not many cancellations and no shows and if there are five or six extras, they can ride in a

Rotary car to Barkerville. He feels all in all it went quite well. Going in September this year, instead of August, they anticipated cooler temperatures and people had more time to relax in Barkerville without the usual stop at Cottonwood House, which closes each year after the Labour Day weekend. And enjoy it we did. Theatre Royal’s Lafont and Ward’s Musical Revue was one of the best shows I can remember. The cast included Don Nelson, Amy Newman, Alison Jenkins, Graeme Thompson and Jim Hodgkinson at the piano. That alone was worth the trip. This trip was all made possible by funding from the province of British Columbia through the gaming branch. The Quesnel Rotary Club makes application for this grant every year for which the seniors are most grateful for. Again a collective thank you from all of us who were able to go. – submitted by Ruth Scoullar

Talula destined for ranch CLR a perfect home for mare

he summer of the Cariboo Chilcoltin forest fires was tough for so many – people, livestock and wild animals alike.

Crooked Leg Tails When natural disasters happen, the people of Noah’s Wish become involved. This organization is dedicated to the care of endangered animals. During that wildfire season, all kinds of livestock were evacuated from the area and corralled wherever space was available. Some animals would be returned home when possible while others would be adopted out as needed. As it happens, one rescued herd of horses came in starv-

ing and in very poor health. They were tended and kept on site as more and more animals arrived. Some animals were re-homed, but this group of horses seemed to have been forgotten. While helping with the rescue, Willow fell in love with a calm and curious yearling. She tried hard to resist adoption of this horse because there were already too many horses back home on the ranch, but she kept in touch with the people at Noah’s Wish. Months later, during a visit to the rescue grounds, she noticed that the little mare was still there, dirty and mangy. Unable to resist any longer, she loaded up this horse and another easy to handle mare, Liza and drove them back to Quesnel. A home was quickly found for Liza, but the horse that stole her heart was destined to become one of the Crooked Leg Ranch herd. This was Talula. Ceilidh, a fourth generation Eyford on the ranch, grew up with Talula and they have become the very best of friends. Talula is right where she needs

to be. For more information, contact: www.crookedlegranch. com. Liz-Ann Eyford is a volunteer with Crooked Leg Ranch.

Quesnel riders rope in the accolades at the BCRA finals

Quesnel was well represented by its cowboys and cowgirls at the BCRA finals, with three of the champs, taking four of the titles, hailing from the Gold Pan city – more than any other city. Quesnel riders were particularly strong in a variety of roping categories, with all four of their firsts coming from roping. The weekend test riders thrice – Friday, Saturday and Sunday, with the accumulation of points deciding who would stand on top at the end of the weekend. Steve Lloyd took a couple of firsts in roping, as a lone cowboy in tie down roping and as part of a team with Russel Glassford in team roping. Lloyd took second in the first two rounds,

following Riske Creek's Virgil Poffenroth both days, and first in the final round to win. Glassford and Lloyd took third the first round, following the Pritchard/ Cache Creek team of Chad Evinson and Carey Isnardy in first and the Ryan McNaughton of Quesnel with Rod Spiers of Ft. St. John in second. The second round they followed Kamloops' Nick Teixeira and 108 Mile's Ty Lytton in second. In the third round they took second again, following Clayton Freemantle of Surrey and Tim Pellam of Langley. Taylor Cherry won for the season in junior breakaway roping. She took second the first round, after Dustin Spiers, also of Quesnel, didn't manage to place in the top four the second

round, but made up for it by taking first in the final round. Denver DeRose of Kamloops ended the season on top in bareback. DeRose took first the first and final round, but was topped by Quesnel's Steve Hohmann in the second round. In bull riding, Ryan Jasper of Riske Creek found his way to the top at the finals. Jasper tied for third with Lane Cork of Quesnel in the first round, following behind K.C. Spiers of Groundbirch in second and Levi Lawlor of Quesnel in first. Hohmann was the only rider to sit the bull for eight second on the second day, but Jasper came back in the final round to take first for the round and clinch the top honours over all.

Kamloops rider Cole Scott finished his season of saddle bronc riding as champion. Scott finished first in both the first and second round, but wasn't able to sit the horse for the whole eight seconds in the final round. Hohmann won the final round, which didn’t stop Scott from gaining enough points to claim the championship Luke Simonin of Naramata was the champion in steer wrestling. Simonin finished following a descending order: first, second then third. The second round Simonin was beat by Riley Isnardy of Cache Creek, and Cole and Jackson Scott of Kamloops in the third round. Houston's Kyle Bell finished the season on top in breakaway roping.

Kristen Bell took first in the first round, while Kyle Bell wasn't able to break into the top three. Kyle Bell took first in the second round, but was edged out for the top spot in the third round by Savona's Troy Gerard. Sarah Gerard of Savona rode away with the barrel racing championship. Gerard finished the finals with a first in the third round. In the first round she was just edged out for the top spot by Cathy Bueckert of Vanderhoof, while Laura James of Kamloops knocked them both down a spot by taking first in the second round. In junior steer riding, Blaine Manuel of 150 Mile House ended the season on top. Manuel finished tied for second in the first

round with Kyle Bell, both sitting under Jackson Scott in first. Manuel finished in third in the second round, behind Jackson Scott and James Johnston of Quesnel, who both tied for first. Blaine ended the weekend on top, taking first in the final round. Tosha Seitz of Savona was consistently on top for the weekend, taking first in junior barrel racing. Briana Billy of Williams Lake finished on a high note, being named champion of pee wee barrel racing. Billy was only beaten once over the course of the weekend, in the final round, by Savona's Elly Farmer. The weekend ends the 2013, 20-rodeo season for the BCRA, with an AGM in Kamloops wrapping it up Oct. 26.

Playing with the big kids

Quesnel softballer goes south to prove her mettle JONAS GAGNON Observer Reporter Aiyana Basi was on her way to tryouts for the rep softball team in Prince George when she got the call she was chosen to be on the Canada Futures softball team. “I didn’t really know what to say to the coach,” Basi said. “I was really excited, but all I could say was ‘Oh my God, thank you.” With that call, Basi was welcomed on to a team of young, Canadian women that will take on a host of college teams on a tour through Georgia and Alabama. The call came in the middle of a softball summer for Basi, who plays ball here in Quesnel. Basi spent July playing slo pitch, then transitioned into softball in August, with practices almost every night, she said. She ended up playing almost as much softball out of town as on her home home diamond, as she ended July and began

August at softball camps. She went to Oliver at the end of July, spent a night at home and took off to Kamloops for the camp hosted by Beyond the White Lines. It was there she met the coach for the Canada Futures team and was invited to try out in White Rock the last weekend of August. So once again, she packed her bags and headed out to play softball. But Basi, who is in grade 10, soon realized she was competing against Gr. 11 and 12 girls. “I was kind of intimidated because I was the youngest girl there. And to see girls from all over the country and across the province playing – it was really intimidating,” she said. After months of practicing, Basi was at the top of her game and played well, so two weeks later she got the call. “It feels really good, knowing that I’m the

Quesnel

youngest and still made it,” she said. With her team, Basi will fly to Atlanta Oct. 12. It will be her first time on vacation without her parents, but she’s not too worried about it. “I’m excited to leave,” she said. Her parents, of course, are the ones with the nerves, but after a summer travelling around with their daughter , this time they’ll have to let her go. Once there, the team tours Georgia and Alabama, playing college teams from around the south. The real challenge, besides some great players, is the team will be playing a slightly different brand of ball. They’ll be playing on bigger diamonds and with stricter rules. Basi will be playing first base and pitching. The pitching will be a big change, as pitching mound is further away from home base. “It’ll be really

cent recruitment rate. Though she may be the youngest one on the diamond, she still wants to impress the scouts. She’s got her eyes on the stars, hoping to impress Harvard or UCLA to help her pursue her dream of becoming a sports psychologist or a psychiatric nurse.

Football’s back at Cariboo Field It was a great day and a hard day for Quesnel football lovers as the Cariboo Blue Bombers and the Correlieu Clan brought football back to the Cariboo field, but fell short of victory last Saturday. The Clan ended the day with an intense game against PGSS Polars. The Clan started with a bang, but a short bench had the team running out of gas in the second half, which the Polars capitalised on, winning the game 34-23. “Half these kids were playing both ways, so you just run out of steam,” Josh Nutley, the defensive co-ordinator said. “Otherwise we were right there the whole game.” Krauzby ReaTempleton led the defense with 16 tackles. Clan scored early on, and at half were leading 13-12. The third quarter

was still competitive, but into the fourth quarter the Clan started tiring and the Polars scored a couple of touchdowns to take the lead and the game. The peewee teams started the day off at 10 a.m. Quesnel lined up against Prince George off the top. The Bombers suffered some injuries and couldn’t quite keep up with Prince George, who took the game 20-14. Prince George immediately retook the field against Vanderhoof. Prince George proved themselves unstoppable on the day, winning 7-6. The final pee wee game brought

Vanderhoof and Quesnel together. Vanderhoof recovered from their loss at the hands of P.G. and came back to win against the hometown bombers, 14-12. After the pee wee games, the younger atom teams took to the field. The atom Blue Bombers were undefeated up to the point, but the Prince George Stashers had their number this weekend, taking the game 18-6. “They figured out our offence and shut us out on the outside,” coach Cody Berge said. It was the team’s first loss, but Berge was glad to see the players out enjoying

the game. The games drew a good audience, with parents and Correlieu students coming out to watch and support the hometown teams. Michael Keryluik, one of the organizers of the event and one of the driving forces behind the new Blue Bombers, was happy with the games and the community behind the event.

“Quesnel has really stepped up,” Keryluik said. “The parents, the players, everybody has really done a great job of putting on the event. People were really pulling together.” Team parents even had Blue Bomber t-shirts made to sell to raise money for the team.

Soccer is only one of many sports for Quesnel Special Olympics.

Receiving a grant of $940 from the Quesnel Community Foundation, the Special Olympics Bowling Team will be sporting new jerseys this season.

Quesnel Special Olympics exists to provide sport training and competitive opportunities for members of the community having an intellectual disability. With 55 registered athletes ranging in age from eight to seventy-two years old, the organization is run completely by volunteers. New athletes not only have the chance to participate in any of eleven different sports, they can develop friendships that extend beyond their time with Special Olympics. They can have travel adventures to new cities, develop leadership skills by participating in the Athlete Committee, demonstrate commitment and responsibility, participate in fund-raising activities and give back to their community. Over the past two years, Quesnel athletes and coaches have raised over $7000 for cancer research by participating in Relay for Life. This project was initiated by an athlete, and is largely athlete driven. As well, the Athlete Committee organizes social events several times a year to further develop the sense of belonging. Special Olympics is a worldwide movement serving over four millions athletes in 170 countries.
