Alzheimers tele-workshop slated

Susan Durham still missing

A Vernon woman, last seen in Quesnel, remains missing. Susan Durham, 59, was travelling with family from New Hazelton to Kamloops when they stopped in Quesnel for an overnight stay. She was last seen in Quesnel Nov. 9 at 8 a.m. “We have not received any information as to Susan Durham’s whereabouts,” Const. Lesley Smith, media liaison officer for the RCMP’s north district said. “She is still missing and the investigation is ongoing.” Durham left her hotel room without her medication or personal property. She is believed to be driving a white 1999 Ford Explorer with B.C. plate 510 LSM. She is described as Caucasian, five-foot-six, 166-pounds with red hair and blue eyes. The RCMP is asking anyone who may have seen the vehicle or Durham to contact their local police or the Quesnel detachment at 250992-9211.

Changes in communication and behaviour are very common in people living with Alzheimer’s disease or other dementias. Area families can learn practical techniques for living with those changes during a free tele-workshop offered by the non-profit Alzheimer Society of B.C. Understanding Behaviour runs Thursday, Dec. 5 and offers practical strategies that family caregivers can use when dealing with the challenges of supporting a person with dementia at home. It starts at 7 p.m. Visit www.alzheimerbc.org or phone toll-free 1-866-994-7745 and enter pass code 1122333, when prompted. Tele-workshops are learning

sessions designed for family caregivers, but are also open to health-care providers. Recognizing that many caregivers are unable to attend in-person workshops, the sessions can be accessed via telephone, with an optional computer component that allows you to watch the video presentation online. At the end of the tele-workshop, participants have an opportunity to ask questions and share with others who are in similar situations. For information on Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias, which affect one in 11 Canadians over the age of 65, visit the Society website at www.alzheimerbc.org.

Best of the Season

A few precautions Some safety precautions for pets this season for an enjoyable holiday season

RSA Canada, one of the country’s biggest home, car and business insurers, recommends taking a few precautions now to ensure you enjoy the holiday season: • Christmas tree safety: buy the freshest, greenest tree you can buy; a dried out Christmas tree can become engulfed in flames in less than 30 seconds. To test for freshness, you can try bouncing the trunk against the ground. If a lot of needles fall off, the tree is dried out. • Prevent theft: theft tends to increase during the holidays when people have their cars loaded with gifts. When shopping, be wary of taking loads of parcels to your car and returning to the mall. Watch your surroundings and hide parcels either in the trunk or under a blanket. • Prevent break-ins: once you get your gifts home, keep them out of sight in a closet or elsewhere. Also, be careful when disposing of the boxes from big ticket items, like TVs and computers. Don’t set boxes out on the curb – it’s an advertisement to thieves. Break boxes down and bury them inside your recycling bin. • Make sure you’re covered: if you do buy an expensive piece of jewelry, technology or art, talk to your insurance broker to make sure you’re covered. Make sure to take the necessary precautions this holiday season so you and your family can enjoy a safe and joyous holiday.

•Decorations: Pet owners should keep garlands and ornaments well out of reach. Avoid decorations that have a scent or taste – pets are then less likely to take a hazardous nibble. •Holiday treats: The holidays are a perfect time to indulge in chocolate – just not for your pets! Chocolate stimulates the nervous system and the heart and should be kept far away from your four-legged friends. All chocolate should be avoided, however, dark chocolate poses a greater risk

than sweeter milk chocolates. •Trees: A festive tree is sure to attract a pet’s attention. Try to secure your tree by attaching it to the wall or a ceiling hook, this way it won’t topple over if your pet decides to go for a climb. Also, consider using a tree skirt to prevent pets from drinking the tree water which is full of preservatives and toxic chemicals. •Visitors: While hosting guests for the holidays is exciting for us, it might be overwhelming for our pets. Make

sure there’s a quiet spot available for them to retreat when it becomes draining. •Plants: Seasonal plants pose a health risk to your pets. Poinsettias, holly and mistletoe can upset your pet’s stomach; keep them out of reach or opt for silk alternatives. •Electrical cords: Colourful lights set the holiday mood but their cords are a tantalizing trap for pets. Secure loose cords to the floor with tape away from your pets.

Activities with kids on a cold and snowy day Winter has arrived and the cold and ice have blanketed the ground, leaving many families indoors, puzzled at how to keep their children busy for the next six months. It is important during bad weather to continue providing outlets for all areas of development. Children need daily exposure to language, motor development (large and small muscles), social interactions and opportunities to problem solve the world around them using their thinking skills. Just because the trees are dormant for the winter, does not mean our children need to be. The following is a list of fun and inexpensive activities to do with your children provided by Success by Six. 1. Go sledding down a really big hill (or a small one). 2. Bake a cake or cookies. 3. Deliver cake or cookies to a shelter, elder’s home, or friends. 4. Make snow beasts or funny snowmen. 5. Read a wonderful book together. 6. Do a photo shoot. 7. Make treats for the birds. 8. Go to the museum. 9. Make a snow fort. 10. Have a dinner party for family friends. 11. Look for animal tracks outside. 12. Go ice skating. 13. Start planting seeds inside. 14. Sock skate on the kitchen floor. 15. Enjoy a pot of tea. Have a tea party. Invite friends. 16. Stay in your pajamas all day long. 17. Play with snow in a big/small container at the kitchen table. 18. Write a letter to a friend or relative and have your child attach a picture. 19. Build an indoor fort with blankets, couches and cushions. Read a story in the fort. 20. Attend local community programs – often available free. For further information contact Lisa Lightening Success by Six Early Learning Facilitator Coordinator at 250-992-9160 or 250-747-0720. Email llightening@longname.ca

Baking cookies is just one of the many fun things to do with kids in winter.

OPINIONS

What’s important

Wednesday, December 4, 2013 Quesnel Cariboo Observer

he news media, over the past several weeks, has been filled with stories, speculations, comments and analysis with either the Canadian Senate or Mayor Rob Ford of Toronto in the starring role. Perhaps they find it interesting, but for most of us it reached a point where any further reference to Rob Ford or the disgraced Senators creates nausea. Both situations can best be described in that old term of being a “tempest in a teacup.” There are many more serious issues that all of us should be concerned about. For example, the hundreds of women who have disappeared is a national disgrace we should all be ashamed of. Adding to our shame is the fact that the overwhelming majority of the missing women are of aboriginal descent. A fair question is why the politicians are basically ignoring a problem of this magnitude. Instead of trying to score points in question period over a so-called Senate scandal, why are the leaders of the opposition not continually raising the question of why there is so little action on what is truly a serious matter? Have we not learned anything from the Pickton murders right here in British Columbia? The ongoing disappearance of the marginalized women who were his victims was ignored by most. Every one of those missing women is someone’s daughter, niece or friend. They all had others who loved and cared about them. Take a moment and pause. Think about those in your world who have meaning to you and how you would feel if one of them was victim. Think about the grief you would carry if you were in their situation. In a civilized society, sanctity of life is not negotiable. Every individual deserves the same attention and respect in the eyes of the law and society as a whole. There is no place for stipulations that may differentiate one person from another. – PG Free Press

Greenhouse gas trial balloon leaks L

ast week I described the inevitable demise of B.C.’s “carbon neutral government” scheme, which continues to take millions from hospitals and schools to fund greenhouse gas reduction projects of questionable value. It’s like the AirCare program, a pollution solution that sounded great at the time. AirCare soon found itself chasing diminishing environmental returns, made redundant by new vehicle technology and the financial need to save fuel. Public sector carbon offsets will suffer the same fate, growing as a political liability as their effectiveness declines. All this is separate from B.C.’s carbon tax and greenhouse gas reduction program, another environmental trial balloon that is sinking back to Earth. Former premier Gordon Campbell’s climate goals officially remain in place: 33 per cent greenhouse gas reduction by 2020 and a whopping 80 per cent by 2050. If the gas boom proceeds as planned, B.C. domestic emissions will not be down, but up substantially by 2020. New liquefied natural gas export proposals continue

Tom Fletcher

B.C. Views to pop up, the latest ones on former industrial sites near Squamish and Campbell River. And with the surge of LNG activity around Kitimat and Prince Rupert already changing the landscape, questions linger about the pollution and greenhouse gas impacts. As she left for the government’s largest ever trade mission to Asia, Premier Christy Clark dismissed a study that estimated the impact of three LNG plants. That study, done by Kitimat environment group Skeena Wild, assumed “direct drive” technology to chill and compress gas for export. It concluded that three plants would burn two and a half times the amount of natural gas currently used in Metro Vancouver. Clark and Environment Minister Mary Polak relied on the same talking point to reject the

things and reporting them. And certainly the ability for one jurisdiction to impact positively on the GHG emissions of another, we think is appropriately considered in how one accounts for these things.” Clark visited the Jiangsu LNG import facility in China that could be a key export destination. Globe and Mail China correspondent Nathan Vanderklippe covered the premier’s visit. He reports that the gas being imported at Jiangsu isn’t replacing coal. It’s being used in addition to coal in peak demand periods. Clark also visited Japan, another key customer for LNG. The whole world knows why Japan needs new energy sources. It needs to replace production from its disaster-tainted nuclear facilities. Will B.C. LNG be part of the solution to humaninduced climate change? On the evidence so far, the answer is no.

study. The technology of powering LNG is still being negotiated, as producers work towards environmental permits, so the total can’t be calculated yet. BC Hydro is predicting little electricity demand for LNG until after 2020, which suggests the early development will either be direct drive, the industry standard and simplest method, or building one or more gas-fired power plants in northwest B.C. Even if gas usage is only equivalent to one Lower Mainland, it’s plain to see greenhouse gas emissions are going up. Clark has repeatedly argued that B.C. LNG should get credit for displacing coal in China and elsewhere. I asked Polak if the international community would accept B.C.’s assertion that emissions from our LNG production shouldn’t count. “We haven’t said we won’t count them,” Polak replied. “What the premier’s talked about and I’ve talked about is that this whole issue of how one accounts for greenhouse gases in a particular region is one that is constantly evolving. There are regularly changes to the international standards for accounting for these

Do the refining closer to the source, use clean energy

Editor: Alberta Premier Alison Redford and B.C. Premier Christy Clark have reached an agreement on moving oil through the two provinces. Clark’s previous sticking point about wanting a share of Alberta’s oil royalties was apparently a non-starter. Alberta is giving their oil away for only $2 – $8 per barrel. This is less than nothing when you consider that crude oil currently sells for over $80 per barrel and before 2004, when

Letters to the Editor

the oil companies were still hugely profitable, oil sold for under $40. In a hundred years, all Alberta’s oil will be gone and they’ll just have massive amounts of toxic waste to clean up with their remaining royalty money. Enbridge and Kinder Morgan are always advertising that they are taking all possible steps to minimize the risks of the pipelines. As it stands though, their plans for minimizing spill risk is to fill each outgoing pipeline

and oil tanker 30 per cent full of solvent and make it carry about 20 per cent raw tar sand waste – this will double the amount of traffic that would be needed to carry refined oil and double the number of spills. On top of that, the incoming tankers will be returning the 30 per cent solvent to be piped and shipped in future loads, creating the possibility of a massive toxic tanker spill (and pipeline spill) in both directions instead of just one.

Overall, this increases the spill risk by about 4X instead of piping and shipping refined oil. And yet all the marketing slicks say repeatedly that they are doing ‘Everything Possible’ to be safe. Let’s be clear, Enbridge and Kinder Morgan are in the pipeline business and will double their own profits if they unnecessarily double the amount of pipelines and quadruple the spill risk at the same time. CNOOC and Sinopec, the Chinese state owned

oil companies that will be transporting their oil through the pipelines, are only really concerned about making more money for China. If they quadruple the spill risk but add a few million extra dollars to China’s GDP, they will be happy. The tar sands will then be refined in China probably using coalfired energy, making the final products by far the filthiest green house gas source on the planet. It would be much better for the planet if the tar

sands were instead even partially refined near their source in Alberta, or near Fort St. John before crossing hundreds of rivers in B.C. This could be done using clean energy from Site C and would cut the spill risk by about 75 per cent. With the sawmill closures in Quesnel and Houston, there will be more than enough skilled labor to run an efficient refinery. Graham Gerry Quesnl, B.C.

An extraordinary day to pray

North Cariboo Christian School sets aside Nov. 27 as a day of prayer Wednesday, Nov. 27 was another extraordinary day at North Cariboo Christian School. It was a day set apart to pray for students and families, for schools, the city and government, the country and for the world. Each year students from kindergarten to Grade 9 gather in the gym to enter into an intimate conversation with their loving Heavenly Father. “We set up a number of unique prayer stations around the gym which help students engage with God in creative ways, such as through dance, writing letters, drawing and even tasting and smelling that God is good! The kids love it and come in expecting to learn and experience something new about their Heavenly Father,” Angela Zieske, Vigil organizer and board chair at NCCS said. “At the heart of all good relationships is communication. Prayer is simply talking to God and expecting He will talk to us. We believe God is listening and wanting to connect with each one of us in a personal way. God has opened the door for us to come boldly before Him and ask for what we need QUESNEL

QJS’s 5th Annual Free Christmas Dinner a huge success

n Monday, Nov. 25, Quesnel junior school put on their fifth Annual Free Christmas Dinner. Approximately 160 guests attended the dinner, while 60 QJS Students and more than 30 adult volunteers were on hand to make sure the dinner ran smoothly. Students were involved in all aspects of the dinner. They prepared and served the food, wrapped donated gifts, did all the set up, decorating and clean-up. Approximately 125 students were involved in preparing for the night of the dinner in one way or another. The Correlieu Jazz Band and Choir provided the entertainment throughout the evening. For the fifth year in a row, Santa was able to give out new toys to the children attending the dinner because of the community’s generous donations. Each year the dinner relies on student, staff, and parent volunteers, but without the following sponsors it would not be possible: Save-On Foods donated all the food for the dinner (some employees were on hand helping the night of the dinner); The Quesnel District Teachers’ Association (QDTA) provided food and refreshments for the students working the night of the dinner; Integris Credit Union, McDonalds, Cariboo Taxi, Jean’s Catering and the Salvation Army provided the use of their equipment. Also, thank you to all of the local agencies who distribute tickets each year; and all our volunteers who make this dinner possible. Thank you, as well, to all those members of the public who dropped off gifts. – submitted by Diane Dougan, QJS

Forever in our hearts

Bob Campbell, left and Murray Boal have once again collaborated on their latest album.

SHED now available

Cotnributed photo

Greentree in Quesnel and IMA in Wells carry the CD Songwriters Murray Boal and Bob Campbell have once again joined forces as the Wingdamramblers. The album, their second, is a mixture of Murray’s rural storytelling songs and Bob’s heartfelt, sometimes humorous songs. Like the first album, SHED has a contemporary folk sound, but with a bit more of an acoustic feel, featuring lots of mandolin and banjo. This collection of songs is mostly drawn from Murray and Bob’s past, titles: like Murray’s Company Town (as relevant as ever); Horselogger’s Waltz; Bob’s ode to the Penny; and the crowd pleasing dogsh#*season. Listen to some

song clips at www. murrayboal.com. Bob and Murray are both long-time Cariboo residents. Bob now lives in historic Wells and Murray at Dragon Mountain Farm in the Quesnel River Valley. Many of their songs are inspired by life here in the colourful Cariboo. Murray and Bob have been collaborating musically for many years. They met in the early 1980’s and over the next wild and crazy 10 years played together in a variety of countryrock-dance bands. There was hardly a bar, community hall, banquet room, or legion in the Cariboo where they did not perform.

In the 1990’s Murray began pursuing his own musical career (as well as co-operating Dragon Mt. Farm.) He released three CDs of his storytelling songs, two solo and one with his trusty band mates the Cultivators. Murray’s music has been featured regularly on CBC radio as well as receiving folk/roots radio airplay around the world. In the early 1990s, Bob moved to Vancouver Island, working as a cook and music teacher. Bob began focusing more on his own song writing and became a regular on

Getting a tan before you go on that winter holiday won’t protect your skin from the intense tropical sun. Be sure to apply a good sunscreen product regularly. Be sure it’s a broad-spectrum lotion, with an SPF of at least 15 and protecting against both UVA and UVB sun rays. Also, don’t be stingy. Use enough each time. Treating thyroid disease with thyroid hormone first occurred back in 1891 when an English doctor treated a patient’s low thryoid condition with an extract of sheep thyroid gland. For the next half 20th century, pigs‘ thyroid glands were the source. In 1949, the Glaxo company created a synthetic version of the hormone which is exactly the same as the human hormone. It is used most often today. Looking for some free health apps for your smart phone? Here are a couple.

After the discovery of penicillin and sulfonamide in the 20s and 30s, the next five decades were sort of a golden age of antibiotic discovery.

Bruce is survived by his devoted wife Betty-Anne, children Bill (Judy), Brian (Tanya), Brad (Earn), Bevanne (Olli) Paivinen, Aaron (Dorothy) Long, grandchildren Andrew, Matthew (Anna), Jonathan (Nikki), Sidney, Salareena, Satya, Eara, Aislynn, Kenna and great grandson Henry. Bruce’s sister ShirleyAnn Dowd, cousin Larry (Marcia) Bell , beloved cousin Lorraine (Denis) O’Leary, and cousin Barb (Ray) Elford; Bruce’s niece Shirley(Earl) Muldon, his nephews Neil (Barb) Sterritt, Art (Patsey)

Sterritt and Jamey Sterritt. Bruce also leaves behind many cherished friends and acquaintances. Bruce located to Quesnel in 1964 to begin his teaching career. He served for nearly 20 years as a teacher and eventually, a principal. One of Bruce’s many passions was the establishment of the alternate education program in School District 28 (Quesnel). Bruce had many interests and had an exceptional ability to engage anyone in conversation and was always curious to know what made people tick. Bruce was always mind-full of those less fortunate. Later in life Bruce was

able to make valuable reconnections with beloved family near and far. The family would like to extend their gratitude to RCMP Corporal Murray as well as Cindy and Amber from Victim Services for their compassion and care. Thank you for the many condolences. In lieu of flowers donations to the S.P.C.A would be appreciated. A celebration of Bruce’s life will be held at a later date.

Jonas Gagnon Sports Reporter

Six games on the trot and nary a loss at home JONAS GAGNON Observer Reporter After a weekend of wins, the Kangaroos capped off their sixth victory in as many games last weekend, beating both the Lac La Hache Tomahawks and the Kitimat Ice Demons. The win streak highlights the determination and commitment of the players, said coach Brain Kozak. With the wins, the ‘Roos also successfully defended their honour at home, which is quickly becoming something of a hallowed ground, as they haven’t lost a game at home this season. “To be unbeaten on home ice is one of the goals the players strive for each and every game,” Kozak said. “To win in front of our fans is our way of paying them back for their great support.” Lac La Hache showed up at the Twin Arenas Saturday night to face off against the hometown team. The game was close until the third, when the ‘Roos took advantage of the flagging energy on the away bench to beat the Tomahawks 10-4. In the first, the Kangaroos jumped out to a two goal lead, with Paul Girodat putting one in early in the period, and Curtis Gassoff following with just over seven minutes left in the period. Lac La Hache made a run to tie it up with three minutes remaining, collapsing in on goalie Ryan Manderson, who sprawled to make the first save, leaving him out of position to make the second. The Tomahawks continued to push, knocking the ‘Roos off their game and notching up another just over a minute later when the ‘Roos fumbled the puck in front of their own net. Alessio Tomassetti salvaged the period, taking it up the ice from the ‘Roos end and putting it up high, stick side to keep the ‘Roos on top going into the second. In the second, Lac La Hache kept the ‘Roos off their game, forcing the period on their terms, which blunted the effectiveness of the ‘Roos scoring lines. “It’s tough to play against Lac La

Hache’s style of hockey; it’s not very structured,” said Gassoff. The period followed a set rhythm, with the ‘Roos scoring and Lac La Hache responding in under a minute. Rigby Burgart put the ‘Roos up two at nine minutes, with the Tomahawks’ Jordan Sellers responding thirty seconds later to keep it close. Next, was Tomassetti at 14:44, but Lac La Hache’s Ty Moses responded just under a minute later to keep it within one. At the beginning of the third, it looked like it was either team’s game, but Lac La Hache was starting to fade. Justin Fulton was the first to take advantage of the Tomahawks flagging energy, scoring a minute and a half in to the period. Lac La Hache pushed for the return goal, to keep the game in reach, but were unable to get the puck past Manderson. Halfway through the period, Fulton started an avalanche of goals, scoring on the penalty kill. Boyetchko followed Fulton’s shorthanded goal with one of his own five seconds later. With the game firmly in hand, the ‘Roos managed to stay focused, as Lac

period. Four minutes in, the Kangaroos started to lose their focus and with it came penalties. A string of penalties kept the ‘Roos short-handed, but a solid defence and quick goal tending kept the Ice Demons off the scoreboard, even when the ‘Roos were down two skaters. With that scare over with, Girodat started the scoring in with a clean goal, flipping it over the Kitimat goalie who sprawled for a poke check, then followed it up 40 seconds later with another.

Super League

As the rock curls Like rocks down sheets of ice, these are the tales of the Super League. Willis and the Golf Course were in a spectacular will they/won't they relationship, that ended in tears for the golf course, as Willis Harper took the game. It was a great battle between the golfers and the furniture crew as Willis Harper took two in the eighth end for the 6-5 win. CDC teased Sky-Hi, but

didn't allow them very much leeway as the kids ran away with the win. It was not such an elevating performance by the erection crew, leaving the CDC kids to climb up the standings after the 6-2 win. Investors beat Karin's Deli in dramatic fashion. The deli was hit hard by the more than 50 investors group thieves and investors stole their way to a much needed victory.

A&W swept Billy Barker off their feet with an easy win. In the feature match, A&W ended a three game slide by beating the previously undefeated Billy Barker crew. A&W was up by 4-3 in the sixth and stole three more in the seventh, then ran the Billy Barker team out of rocks in the eighth. Stay tuned next week for the continued tumultuous relationships of the super curlers.

December 1 - 7, 2013 ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, delay your plans for the time being. A number of unexpected tasks that will require your undivided attention in the coming day, so clear your schedule. TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 Assume the role of the strong and silent type this week, Taurus. You do not have to share your opinions with everyone, as an air of mystery may boost your popularity. GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 It can be easy to allow excitement to overtake your logic, Gemini. But you need to be patient and not allow exuberance to interfere with the tasks at hand. That is a recipe for trouble. CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, a hefty workload at the office may zap your desire to do much else. However, don’t pass up the opportunity when a social engagement beckons this week. LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, you will have to continue your rather hectic pace this week, even when you start to feel tired. Fortunately, you are excited about some of the things on your to-do list. VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, getting involved with the right people now opens doors that previously may have been closed to you. Do not squander the opportunity to use these new contacts. LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, conflicting emotions arise in the week ahead. You have the desire to fulfill people’s expectations of you, but you also just want some time to yourself. SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, maintaining your focus on chores is nearly impossible this week, when you are easily distracted by anything else that sounds interesting. Try to get your work done. SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21 Reestablish your priorities, Sagittarius. Doing so will help you live up to your end of the bargain on various commitments. If necessary, ask others for help. CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20 Expect to be busy for the rest of the month, Capricorn. With potential birthday celebrations and holiday tasks to complete, spare moments are few and far between. AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, learning a new skill this week will only add to your already vast repertoire of abilities. This is one more reason to have a positive attitude. PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20 Emphasize feeling good about yourself this week, Pisces. Doing so will enable you to help others in the near future.

Santa Claus is coming to

DOWNTOWN December 7th

Christmas Tae Kwon Do Style Joel Kolenchuk, owner of Bob Deane’s Black Belt Academy, teaches a young class at the club’s Christmas sale, last week. Along with the sale, Kolenchuk demonstrated Teuk Gong Moo Sool, a Southern Korean military martial art that he is studying to bring to the club. On hand at the sale was a bevy of gear, from dobok to sparring gloves, along with baked goods brought by members of the club. Jonas Gagnon photo

SANTA PARADE & FIREWORKS Saturday, December 7th - 4:30 pm

Stepping into the ring Girls and boys took the chance to try out Ringette last weekend, as the local ringette association hosted a ‘Try Ringette day on Saturday.’ “It’s about making a base in Quesnel,” Tod Anderson, vice-president of the association said. Seventeen new players came to try out the sport, three of whom have already signed up, with U10 coach, Derek Bergeron running skillsharpening drills. If you missed out on the chance to try the sport, but would still like to take to the ice with a team, Anderson said registration is still open. For information go to http://quesnelringette. info.

Please bring a non-perishable food item for Good Cheer.

Have a blast enjoying the fireworks.

❄ The kids can have a visit with

Santa at the Spirit Square after the parade.
