AUTUMN MacDONALD Observer Reporter After two Gold Pan residents brought forth information on a recent door-to-door salesman, Consumer Protection BC stepped in. Now, Consumer Protection BC is advising consumers that a direct sales prohibition order has been issued against Lloyd Schell and his water filtration company, Vin Water Systems, prohibiting the door-to-door salesman from engaging in direct sales within B.C. for a 15-year period. As Consumer Protection BC investigation found Schell had contravened several sections of the Business Practices and Consumer Protection Act, by engaging in deceptive acts or practices, using contracts that didn’t contain required information and failing to issue refunds after consumers cancelled their contracts. In addition to the direct sales prohibition order, Consumer Protection BC has issued a compliance order that requires Schell to refund two impacted B.C. consumers (for a total of $4,076) and to reimburse Consumer Protection BC for partial investigation costs ($700). “We were extremely concerned when consumers came forward with information about Lloyd Schell’s sales practices,” Vice President of Corporate Relations at Consumer Protection BC, Manjit Bains said. “The length of this ban is significant. Based on the findings of our investigation, these actions are appropriate given his current and past business practices.” This is the second time in eight years the salesman has faced such an order – in 2005, a fiveyear Direct Sales Prohibition Order was issued by Consumer Protection BC against Schell for, what they called, “using misleading sales tactics, using undue pressure against vulnerable seniors, grossly overcharging for products, using contracts that didn’t contain required information and failing to issue refunds after consumers cancelled their contracts. Schell has 30 days to request a reconsideration of these decisions, as it is his right under the law.

Tim Hortons embraces diversity Dengarry Professional Services would like to congratulate South Hills Tim Hortons for creating a diverse workforce. This has been shown through their commitment in hiring an individual with developmental disabilities. The business is being rewarded with Diversity @ Work stickers to place on their door. Quesnel Technics Gymnastics Club recognizes the value of a diverse workforce and the contributions people with developmental disabilities can give to the workplace and the community. BC EmployNet has initiated the window sticker program across BC to recognize employers who have shown their belief in diversity in the workplace by hiring a capable individual who also happens to have a disability. Many people with developmental disabilities are eager to be employed, want to earn an income, be a contributing member to their community and valued in their jobs. Real work for real pay enhances independence, financial security and fosters a sense of belonging. Part of the goal of recognizing businesses that demonstrate their belief in a diverse workplace is to inform consumers who may in turn choose to use their purchasing power to support such businesses.

The Seniors’ Centre would like to remind everyone that memberships were due on Jan.1. Considering the many events and services provided there, a membership is probably one of the best investments a senior could make for 2014. The centre was closed Dec. 23 to Jan 1. Events were back in full swing starting Jan. 2 with a pancake breakfast Jan. 5 and 19 and the monthly meeting Jan. 23 at 1 p.m. Bell ringers are looking for new people to join them for 2014. No music knowledge is necessary – just the desire to have fun making music. The group meets every Monday from 10 a.m. till noon. Tai Chi Chi resumes on Jan. 6 at 9 a.m. at the centre. All are welcome to start their week with this excellent form of exercise. Events around town Last week’s snowstorms put a damper on many of the planned events. I think the weather forecasts were more accurate years ago, but that’s probably the Senior in me talking! Nearly 180 people were served at the Seniors’ Christmas dinner Dec.r 5 at the Seniors’ Centre. A lovely turkey dinner with all the trimmings was provided. After dinner, entertainment was provided by a number of talented Quesnelians, including Sweet Harmony. Some 50 people braved the nasty weather on December 11 to attend the OAPO dinner at the Legion. Before dinner entertainment was provided by the Northern Lights Harps and Friends after which guests enjoyed a great. Roberta Kerr served up some good entertainment after we ate and then a brief sing-song happened with Amanda Gillcash and Jola Jareki playing ukulele accompaniment. Mary Ann Sturdy is a Gold Pan resident.
Why I’m Out Here There are many excellent charities out there, but the Salvation Army is one I choose to support. In the 1940s, when my mother was a widow with four children, alone in the city of Vancouver, the Salvation Army stepped up and helped feed and clothe them all. Mom had resorted to ‘stealing’ tea bags and soda cracker to feed her family from the community kitchen of the hostel they were staying at in downtown Vancouver. Later in life, whenever we were out shopping at Christmastime, my mother always made a point of donating generously to the numerous Salvation Army kettles we came upon. Sometimes she would tearfully tell her the reason for doing so, thanking the person manning the kettle, even though the volunteer may not actually be a member of the Salvation Army. She took very personally the fact that they were dedicating their time to helping raise money to help those who were at such a point in their lives that they were dependant upon the good-heartedness of others. We would often leave the volunteer with a hug and a tissue and a feeling of knowing they were doing a very good thing. As we walked away, we noticed the bells being rung much more vigorously than when we had approached. The last five years I have manned a Salvation Army Kettle outside out branch. I don’t know why I hadn’t thought of doing so sooner, except that i always believed you had to be a practising, religious member of the Salvation Army itself. I have always continued with my mom’s tradition of generously donating to the kettles but now I will take one day out of my life during my busy, hectic Christmas season and take cheerful advantage of the generosity and good-heartedness of people during this season.Recession or not, people are so generous at this time of year and, though the last two years I have chosen the coldest day of the year to stand outside all day, cheerfullly ringing my bells (which I have been told can be heard a long way up and down the street), it is very heartwarming work and so good for the soul. I wish you the merriest of all Christmasses

Let us know
CRD chair reflects on 2013 During the final CRD board meeting, chair Al Richmond delivered the CRD year-end address. The following is his speech. Members of the board, members of the media, ladies and gentlemen Today, I have the distinct pleasure of reviewing the Cariboo Regional District’s key accomplishments and successes for 2013. Looking back over the past year, our region can be proud of its achievements. The CRD experienced many successes in 2013. The year started with three subregional budget consultation meetings taking place in 100 Mile House, Quesnel and Williams Lake. During these meetings we presented the proposed 2013 budget to our residents to seek feedback from them, before adopting the budget at the end of March. In May of 2013, the CRD attended the North Central Local Government Association Conference which was held in Quesnel. Delegates and their partners were able to attend some great workshops, business sessions and of course some spectacular entertainment and social events. I would also like to take this opportunity to again thank the many volunteers from the North Cariboo who dedicated their time and efforts to put their best foot forward. In mid-May, the Cariboo Regional District participated in a precedentsetting event which saw First Nations, local governments, School District 27 and 28 and non-first nations communities from across the region unite to remember, recover and reconcile. From May 16-19, public events, workshops and seminars were held as part of the Commemoration
project. National First Nations Assembly Chief Shawn Atleo and the Honourable Justice Murray Sinclair, Chair of the Federal Truth and Reconciliation Commission facilitated and participated in the sessions and spoke about reconciliation in Canada. May 16 and 17, 2013, monuments at the St Joseph’s Mission Residential School site and in Williams Lake’s Boitanio Park were unveiled. These events were planned through an inclusive planning committee comprised of former students, First Nations, Tribal Councils, local government, School District 27, the RCMP and the Sxoxomic First Nations School. During a news conference to announce the monuments, the Cariboo Regional District (CRD) learned of a former student who had her own orange shirt taken from her by the school, only to see another child wearing it days later. The Cariboo Regional District has now declared Sept. 30 annually as Orange Shirt Day. The municipalities within the region, along with School District 27 have also made this same declaration to aide in the healing and reconciliation process and to create a better future for generations to come. In June, the CRD Board of Directors and staff travelled to Lac La Hache for the first of two, Board on the Road events for 2013. The traditional Board on the Road BBQ was put on in support of the Lac La Hache PAC to raise funds for the elementary school trip to Drumheller, Alberta. September 12 and 13 we were on the road again with our second of two Board on the Road meetings for 2013 –
this time Wildwood in Electoral Area D was our destination. The event began early in the day with a Community to Community Forum with the Xat”l (Soda Creek First Nation) held at the Emporium. The session was followed by a tour of the Xat”ll Heritage village. The Board on the Road event continued with the traditional BBQ which was put on by members of the CRD’s Wildwood Volunteer Fire Department. The following day, the board reconvened in the Wildwood Fire Hall for its regularly scheduled board meeting. From Sept. 16 to 20, the Cariboo Regional District Board of Directors attended the annual Union of British Columbia Municipalities (UBCM) convention and AGM which took place in Vancouver. Throughout the convention the CRD met with three provincial ministers and Network BC staff which is a part of the Ministry of Technology, Innovation and Citizens’ Services, spoke to CRD resolutions and received some prestigious awards. During the resolutions sessions, the CRD learned it had earned the
Honourable Mention Gold Star Award for its “Noxious Weeds & Range Lands” resolution. The resolution requested the Government of BC do everything possible 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, CRD Board members and staff met with three provincial ministers including: Minister of Health, the Honourable Terry Lake; the Minister of Transportation and Infrastructure, the Honourable Todd Stone; the Minister of Jobs, Tourism and Skills Training and the Minister Responsible for Labour, the Honourable Shirley Bond to discuss regional issues. During the UBCM Community Excellence Awards Breakfast Reception, the CRD, Esk’etemc, the Cities of Quesnel and Williams Lake and the District’s of 100 Mile House and Wells were presented with the UBCM Excellence Award in Partnerships for their submission, “The St. Joseph’s Mission Residential School Commemorative

OPINIONS
Predictions
www.quesnelobserver.com A5
A
peck of pithy prognostications and predictions for 2014 • All levels of government will work together to push through the controversial Enbridge pipeline through the northern B.C. wilderness, with premiers Christy Clark and Alison Redford ceremoniously sending off the first bitumen-laden supertanker from the port of Kitimat, marking a bright economic future for the province • The federal and provincial governments will reduce income tax to record lows, allowing Canadians to keep more of their hard-earned money. It’s a good thing too, as Canadians will need it to pay for the exorbitantly high cost of private health insurance premiums private schools, and private universities. • Anti-coal protesters, like those who stormed Port Metro Vancouver’s offices in December, will take their opposition to the proposed Fraser Surrey Docks coal terminal up a notch with demonstrations of increasing violence, resulting in a symbolic mass self-immolation, using organic compost-derived carbon neutral lighter fluid. With opposition to the project snuffed out, the new coal terminal moves forward. • A construction worker working on the Marina Garden Estates project will accidentally cut his index finger on an X-Acto knife, leaving a trail of blood behind him as he runs to the first aid truck for a band aid, thus proving true the predictions of one resident who famously declared the project’s approval would result in “blood in the streets.” • Canada Post will recover from its financial difficulties and resume door-to-door delivery service once CEO Deepak Chopra and the federal government decide to stop actively destroying it piece by piece. • A 40-car pileup shut down the South Fraser Perimeter Road for days after an American tourist slams on their brakes in the middle of the highway, having never seen a bald eagle before. Happy new year from all the staff at Black Press.
Dear Diary, today I am grateful for...
A
s much as I love to write, it’s rare that I keep a journal. And when I say a journal, I mean a place for me to keep a daily record about myself, to myself and for the sole benefit of me, myself and I. There have been different periods of my life when I paid this kind of attention to “me,” but since becoming a mother I haven’t done it nearly enough. As a teenager I used to write in a diary quite frequently and then lock it up with a key after each instalment. Regretfully I destroyed all my diaries and journals as fast as I could fill them for fear that they’d fall into the wrong hands and I’d be embarrassed beyond belief. My dear friend Ernie Tadla doesn’t worry about things like that and would rather share his thoughts than hide or throw them away. But he’s no longer a teenager he’s 71 years young and he writes every single morning. He calls it his mental bath. “You wouldn’t leave the house without brushing your teeth and having a shower would you?” he asked me. “Well, why wouldn’t you give your mind the same courtesy that you give your body?” He makes an excellent point.
Lori Welbourne
On A Brighter Note Every day he cleanses his mind through his journal entries. He makes time for some quiet reflection and has made a commitment to write down all that he’s grateful for to ensure that he starts off each day in the right frame of mind. After acknowledging his gratitude, any of his additional thoughts spill out of him without censor. He is then ready to shower, brush his teeth and face the day ahead with as much joy and appreciation as you can imagine. A widow and cancer survivor, my friend has had his fair share of sorrow and adversity throughout his life and has chosen to spend the rest of his days being as happy and fulfilled as he can. He has also chosen to share what he’s learned about himself and about life as he knows it with anyone who’s interested enough to listen. Inspirational and supportive, this is the kind of human being I
with their feelings. But “journaling” really isn’t about writing at all. Spelling, grammar, sentence structure and even making sense are completely insignificant. This exercise is just about cleaning out the busy thoughts in our minds by helping us organize them through this simple act of expression. My husband refers to it as a mental enema. But who in the heck has the time? I’m not 71 years young and I’m nowhere near retirement. Yet I know from personal experience how much time I can ultimately save in the long run by just taking a few minutes every day to tidy my brain and sharpen my focus. I know it will take more than that initially. After all, it’s been a long time since my mind has even had a good dusting. But it’s a process, and a little bit every day adds up to a lot over time. The more that I document, the more in tune I’ll become – not just with myself, but with others as well. So although my journal instalments will be written to myself and about myself, the benefits will extend well beyond just me, myself and I. I’d bet my diary on it.

aspire to be. I recognize that I can’t truly become a person like this without a similar commitment to mental cleansing. So, for that reason, “journaling” has become one of my top priorities for the year ahead. I realize, not just from Ernie’s experience, but also from my own, how cleansing “journaling” can be. The act of transferring the thoughts in our mind down through our arms, out through our hands and onto paper or the computer screen is incredibly powerful. It can immediately start to sharpen a focus that may have become blurry through the reality of living our lives. Not only can this daily exercise remind us of what we find important and what we want to accomplish, but it can also help us to discover more about ourselves and work through our challenges, providing us a fresh, new start every time we write in this way. I especially love the idea of regularly recording what we’re grateful for to put us in the right frame of mind. It’s so easy to forget these things and take them for granted without a consistent self-reminding mechanism. Of course, not everyone likes the act of writing and can find other ways to effectively connect

When you’re working to achieve your financial objectives, you will encounter obstacles. Some of these can be anticipated — for example, you won’t be able to invest as much as you want for retirement because you have to pay for your mortgage. Other challenges can’t be easily anticipated, but you can still plan for them — and you should. Obviously, the word “unexpected,” by definition, implies an unlimited number of possibilities. However, at different stages of your life, you may want to watch for some “expected” unexpected developments. For example, during your working years, be prepared for the following: Emergency Expenses - If you needed a major car or home repair, could you handle it? What about a temporary job loss? These events are costly — especially if you are forced to dip into your longterm investments to pay for them. To help guard against these threats, try to build an emergency fund containing six to 12 months’ worth of living expenses, held in a liquid, low-risk account. Investment Risk And Market Volatility - Extreme price swings are unpredictable, and they can affect your investment success. To defend yourself against fluctuations in the market, build a diversified portfolio containing quality investments. While diversification, by itself, can’t protect against loss or guarantee profits, it can help reduce the effect of volatility on your portfolio. And here’s one more thing you can do to cope with the ups and downs of investing: Maintain a long-term perspective. By doing so, you won’t be tempted to overreact to short-term downturns. Long-Term Disability - One-third of all people between the ages of 30 and 64 will become disabled at some point, according to the Health Insurance Association of America. Disabilities can be economically devastating. As part of your benefits package, your employer may offer some disability insurance, but you may need to supplement it with private coverage. Premature Death - None of us can really predict our longevity. If something happens to you, would your family be able to stay in your home? Could your children still attend college? To protect these goals, you need adequate life insurance. As you approach retirement, and during your retirement years, you may want to focus on these challenges: Living Longer Than Expected - You probably don’t think that “living longer than expected” is necessarily a bad thing. However, a longer-thananticipated life span also carries with it the risk of outliving your money. Consequently, you may want to consider investment solutions that can provide you with an income stream that you can’t outlive. Also, you’ll need to be careful about how much you withdraw each year from your various retirement and investment accounts. Need For Long-Term Care - If you had to stay a few years in a nursing home, the cost could mount to hundreds of thousands of dollars. These expenses could jeopardize your financial security, so you’ll need to protect yourself. You could “self-insure,” but as that would be extremely costly, you may want to “transfer the risk” to an insurance company. A financial professional can help explain your choices. None of us can foresee all the events in our lives. But in your role as an investor, you can at least take positive steps to prepare for the unexpected — and those steps should lead you in the right direction as you move toward your important goals.

NEWS Richmond reflects from A4 Director Armstrong was first elected to the CRD Board in 1978 as the Electoral Area A Director after serving as an Alternate Director in 1977. The guests at the banquet also witnessed CRD Director and Quesnel Mayor Mary Sjostrom presented with a lifetime membership to UBCM for her service to the organization. In 2013, the CRD successfully applied to a number of different provincial and federal funding programs such as the Building Canada Fund, the Towns for Tomorrow program, Northern Development Initiative Trust, the Community Tourism Opportunities program and UBCM’s Fuel mitigation fund for a total of approximately $1 million. The CRD also received approximately $1.7 million from the Community Works Fund which focuses on green initiatives and energy efficiency projects. So often we forget how far we have come and the challenges and issues we have overcome, or resolved along the way. Part of the reason for this report is to remind you of our accomplishments and to compliment you on your successes. Creating new partnerships, enhancing services, undertaking capital projects, informing the public and responding to residents’ needs is what building this region is all about. Our organization will continue to respond to community and residents’ needs thereby achieving our goal of: Building Communities Together I would like to thank all the Board members and staff for your dedication and perseverance throughout 2013. Thank you. Al Richmond is chair of the CRD.

Health workers ratify ‘unique’ wage deal Health science union members have voted 75 per cent to accept a five-year “growth sharing” wage agreement with the B.C. government. First to accept the groundbreaking proposal are 16,000 specialists in diagnostic, clinical and rehabilitation services. A larger group of government union members is also voting on a similar offer. The agreements include guaranteed wage increases of about 5.5 per cent over five years, plus extra money in years where the B.C. economy grows beyond independent
forecasts. They are also for an unusually long term and have been reached three months before the current contracts expire. Val Avery, president of the Health Sciences Association, said the “modest wage increases” were in addition to employer commitments to recruiting and retaining professionals in highest demand. Finance Minister Mike de Jong said the health science agreement is: “unique to the needs of the employers and employees and I expect we will see

that pattern continue with subsequent agreements.” A similar fiveyear proposal has gone to a vote of 51,000 mainly B.C. Government Employees’ Union members. They include direct government employees, home support workers, alcohol and drug counsellors, adult day centres, child development centres and mental health
group homes. The growth sharing formula is based on the finance ministry’s economic forecast council, private sector experts who estimate growth in January as the provincial budget is being prepared. If actual growth exceeds projected growth by one per cent, it means $200 million more for the provincial treasury, which would be shared 50-50 with unionized employees for that year.

Our giant stumbles
First loss in seven, first loss at home, lesson learned JONAS GAGNON Observer Reporter It was David and Goliath on ice Saturday, as the 'Roos fell to Lac La Hache 6-2. After winning seven games straight (nearly half their season), and having not seen a loss in front of their hometown crowd, the Kangaroos were looking mighty, marching their way to the top of the standings, but, as fans of the story know, even a small boy and a rock can fell the mighty at the right time. "That streak, when it breaks, sometimes it's a team like that," coach Brian Kozak said. If Lac La Hache was David, then Tomahawks goalie William Sellers was the stone, making 60 saves on 62 shots, including an amazing kick save that stopped a 'sure thing', and leading Lac La Hache to victory. It started out fine for the 'Roos. Matt Stang was the first to put a numeral up on the board, getting his goal in early,

Lac La Hache played their plan perfectly, frustrating any chance the ‘Roos had until a bad pass in the neutral zone gave the Tomahawks a three on none, which they capitalized on to put another goal on the board. Kozak pulled Manderson in the last three minutes of play, but a face off in the neutral zone turned into a weak shot that rolled all the way into the goal, sealing the ‘Roos fate. Kozak was disappointed with the way the Kangaroos played, but said Lac La Hache played a great road game. “Overall, we ran into a hot goaltender and strayed away from the ‘Roos game,” Kozak said. Kozak hopes the loss will push the players back together again, teaching a lesson in humility and keeping the team first. He’ll test that theory against Cariboo Rivals and number two team in the league, Williams Lake on Jan. 11 and the Terrace River Kings, tied for third in the league, Jan. 12.

Unique experience for Carson V-ball
Saturday, Dec. 7, teacher, Rick Prosk, and 17 students from Carson elementary traveled with six parents to attend a co-ed volleyball tournament in Williams Lake. These grade six and seven students had just finished their seasons playing separately on Carson's boys' and girls' volleyball teams. For the players, this tournament offered a couple of unique opportunities: it allowed them to travel outside Quesnel to play teams from another community, which is a rare opportunity in elementary school. It also allowed boys and girls to play together on the same team, something kids rarely get to do from the time they are six years old. The opponents were grade sevens from a middle school in Williams Lake. For those students, this represented their only chance to compete all season. Since the elementary schools in Williams Lake were reconfigured last fall into K-6 elementary schools, and a 7-9 middle school, the grade sevens have no one else to play. They can't play with the grade eights because they are allowed only five years to play secondary school sports. Carson students play in the smallest gym in the school district, so attending a tournament in a high school gym was intimidating at first. The net was higher and the court bigger than we were used to playing on. Despite these challenges, the Carson teams did a great job. Team Two, despite losing its first four games, came on to finish second out of five teams. Team One started well, but unfortunately faltered later on to finish fourth. Competitively, that speaks well for Quesnel volleyball teams. The Carson boys' team finished second this season in the district playdowns. All the players had a great time. Boys and girls, playing alongside each other, came to appreciate each other's athletic efforts and contributions, something they rarely get the chance to do. –Submitted by SD28
