CARIBOO FIRE CENTRE
Fire ban in place
AUTUMN MacDONALD Observer Reporter
After 44 fires this season, most human caused, the Cariboo Fire Centre has prohibited Category 3 open fires effective noon Friday. The prohibition will be in place until Sept. 30. Specifically, this order prohibits fires that burn: • Material concurrently in three or more piles, each not exceeding two metres in height and three metres in width; or • Material in one or more piles, each exceeding two metres in height or three metres in width; or • One or more windrows; or • Stubble or grass over an area exceeding 0.2 hectares (more than 2,000 square metres). This prohibition does not apply to campfires, cooking stoves that use gas, propane or briquettes, or open fires that are two metres by three metres or smaller. “People should ensure that such fires are not lit or kept burning during windy conditions and that adequate tools, water and people are on hand to contain the fire,” the release states. “They should also make sure that the fire is fully extinguished and the ashes are cold to the touch before leaving the
area for any length of time.” This prohibition covers all BC Parks and crown and private lands, but does not apply within the boundaries of local governments that have forest fire prevention bylaws and are serviced by fire departments. Check with local government authorities for any other restrictions before lighting a fire. So far this season, the Cariboo Fire Centre has responded to 44 fires, the vast majority of which were human-caused and therefore completely preventable. Anyone found in contravention of an open fire prohibition may be issued a ticket for $345 or, if convicted in court, may be fined up to $100,000 and sentenced to one year in jail. If the contravention causes or contributes to a wildfire, the person may be subject to a penalty of up to $10,000 and be ordered to pay all firefighting and associated costs. The Cariboo Fire Centre stretches from Loon Lake near Clinton north to the Cottonwood River near Quesnel, east to Wells Gray Provincial Park and west to Tweedsmuir South Provincial Park. To report a wildfire or unattended campfire, call 1 800 663-5555 toll-free or *5555 on a cellphone.

Visit royalty at Victorian Royal Tea in Barkerville
On Victoria Day (May 19), visitors to Barkerville Historic Town are invited to enjoy Royal Tea with Royalty, as Queen Victoria visits the worldfamous Wake Up Jake Restaurant. In addition to the classic English warm-steeped beverage, delectable treats worthy of the Queen will be on offer, along with the opportunity to interact with Her Majesty, who
will delightfully engage with her royal subjects in two official sittings. Patrons will have the opportunity to enjoy one-on-one audiences with Queen Victoria and her Scottish consort, John Brown, as well as British Columbia’s Chief Justice, Matthew Baillie Begbie. Red Serge-clad members of the Royal Constabulary are expected to be in attendance to keep the
peace and ensure the safety of the Monarch of Great Britain and Ireland, also known as the Empress of India. The Queen, who celebrates her birthday on May 24, is reported to be in a remarkable state of fitness and vigour, especially considering her advanced age of 195. When reached for a statement, Her Imperial Majesty Queen Empress
indicated she was “very much looking forward to her annual visit to Barkerville. While I often eschew excessive pomp and ceremony, my birthday celebration, coming as it does near the outset of each new season, is an event that I cherish, especially as it gives me the opportunity to hear the desires and concerns of the citizens of the
Colony.” There are two official sittings at the Wake Up Jake Restaurant for the Royal Tea – at 1 p.m. and 3 p.m. Tickets for the event can be purchased at the Visitor’s Reception Centre upon entry into Barkerville Historic Town. Barkerville opened for the new season on May 15 with an all-new street interpretation program,
along with expanded mining discourses that describe the workings involved with hydraulic mining in Barkerville. Visitors will also, for the first time since 1864, have the opportunity to meet Billy Barker himself. From season opening until the end of the month of May, admission to the Historic Site is by donation. For more, visit barkerville.ca.

Community Consultation North Cariboo Arena Replacement Thursday, May 29th - Public Open House Arena 2 Lobby CEI Architecture (“CEI”) has been retained to provide design consultation services for the North Cariboo Arena Replacement Project during the pre-referendum stage. CEI will be meeting with various stakeholder groups this month to engage in an intensive design process called a charrette. The focus of the charrette will be on the overall site plan, form and character of the building, parking and traffic flow and the functional space within the facility, but will not include all the final construction specifications. CEI will then produce several conceptual designs to be available for viewing at a public open house on Thursday, May 29 in the arena lobby. This open house will provide an opportunity for residents to view the conceptual designs and provide the architect with feedback. The conceptual designs will also be on display for the public at the referendum open houses which will take place on June 3 from 4-8 p.m. and June 7 from 1-5 p.m. in the Arena 2 lobby. If the proposed arena receives public assent on June 14, additional design details along with further user group and public input will also be required following the referendum.
Join us on May 29 in the Arena 2 Lobby from 4-8 p.m.! City of Quesnel quesnel.ca 250-992-2111 Cariboo Regional District cariboord.bc.ca 1-800-665-1636

McHappy Day More than $5,000 was raised by the McDonald’s Quesnel through its participation in the 21st McHappy Day, a national fundraiser held in more than 1,400 McDonald’s restaurants across Canada. On this day, $1 from every Big Mac sandwich, Happy Meal and hot McCafé beverage sold went to benefit local children’s charities across the country. In addition, many restaurants held fundraising events leading up to McHappy Day to provide additional support. In Quesnel all funds raised were earmarked for the Child Development Centre. “At McDonald’s Quesnel, we’re proud to be continuing our long-standing support of local charities,” local owner/operator Stuart Aldred said. “Following our most recent successful McHappy Day [May 7], we’re thrilled to be providing this cheque for $5,200 to such a worthwhile cause as The Quesnel and District Child Development Centre.

Lawns and dandelions
is the season that fresh green lawns tend to disappear and are overtaken by dandelions. Dandelions are a spring flowering perennial that is most visible this time of the year, as the season progresses they tend to become less prominent. In the past, people were led to believe that the best thing to do for lawns was to apply copious amounts of weed and feed. Weed and feed pesticide and fertilizer combinations have been banned from the Canadian market for several years now but people still ask for it. Here are a few tips that I hope will help to provide you with a lawn that is pleasing and yet environmentally friendly. The best weed control is a healthy lawn. De-thatch and apply a good slow release fertilizer in the spring. We recommend 25-4-10, our house blend. Research has shown that a little bit of iron in lawn fertilizers cuts nitrogen requirements significantly, slow release fertilizers provide a longer lasting more even feed. If your lawn suffers from compaction common in clay soil, aerate at least once a year, this will encourage deeper roots. When watering your grass, water deeply and infrequently to encourage deeper roots. Set your mower a little higher, the shorter the grass the more stress and the less likely to compete with weeds. Allow yourself to live with a few weeds and only apply herbicides when absolutely necessary: remember the flowering time is relatively short. If you must kill those weeds instantly, wait for warm weather and active leaf growth. Liquid herbicides, such as Killex , are still available to the home gardener. Be very careful with any lawn weed chemical around flower beds and deciduous trees such as birch, any broad-leafed plant may be susceptible to damage. Do not apply lawn herbicides to new lawns that have had fewer than three mowings. New lawns are sensitive to herbicide and once grass becomes established the weeds often disappear on their own. Properly managed lawns are a net benefit to the environment. They sequester carbon, produce oxygen, absorb run-off and trap air borne particles. Roy Josephy is with Richbar Golf and Gardens.

First responders forced into social work
www.quesnelobserver.com A7
T
here’s a reason why we call them first responders. Police, firefighters and paramedics are the first people called when we need help. It used to be for fires, car accidents or falling from a tree. But soon police, firefighters and paramedics are going to have to add ‘social worker’ to their job descriptions. When they’re walking or biking the beat, police are often the ones contacting social service providers for people in need, checking on vulnerable people to ensure they’re safe, and diffusing dangerous situations. It’s a specialized skill set that used to fall to case workers. As the provincial government closes facilities for people with mental illness, reduces services and resources, case loads for social workers increase and people simply fall through the cracks. Where the police used to be the last call, now they’re often the first. Care for people with mental illness, brain injury or developmental disabilities is complex. With fewer doctors available to take new patients, those highmaintenance clients are left calling crisis lines and walk-in clinics for stop-gap measures instead of solutions. Add in poverty, poor nutrition, barriers to housing and it doesn’t take long for someone barely getting by to suddenly end up in crisis. It takes a community to raise a child, but it also takes a community to ensure that our most vulnerable people are safe and cared for. That means access to food and nutrition, health care, adequate social services and affordable housing – not a jail cell.
Escaping the curtain of shyness A
s I got ready for my high school reunion last weekend, one of my dear friends, whom I’ve known since elementary school, texted me saying that she’d pick me up at the Holiday Inn where I was staying in North Vancouver. “I’m going casual as usual,” Deneen warned about her attire. “I’ll be overdressed, but I don’t care,” I replied. “I’m always over something.” When she arrived, looking gorgeous in jeans and a black tank top, I figured everyone else would dress casual for the pub event as well, and I thought about changing out of my long summer dress. I didn’t though. I decided to go as-is and not worry about trying to fit in like I would have back in 1984. I had matured into someone confident enough to wear what I wanted to wear no matter what everyone else had on. Or had I? Walking into that room full of people who I had graduated with at Seycove Secondary School 30 years earlier had
Lori Welbourne
On A Brighter Note me feeling like the painfully shy, insecure 17-year-old I once was. I immediately headed for the bar. I imagined a few cocktails would help me relax and feel more like myself again, but for some reason my self-conscious high school persona had completely taken over. “You’re kidding me,” one of my more recent friends said when I told her of the experience the next day. “I thought you’d be the life of the party!” “Not even close,” I said. “It was as if I’d stepped into a time machine and I was the timid wallflower at the school dance again.” The reason why still escapes me. As a tween and teen I was full of anxiety and insecurities, and given my
thinking about it for a few seconds. “I’d let them snicker, gossip or ignore me if that’s what they chose to do, but I wouldn’t let it affect me like I did when I was in school.” I’m not sure how many people from my grad class were secure enough to live that philosophy back when we were students, but I believe the kids who were more oblivious to peer pressure and judgment had a better head start in life. I, on the other hand, was a late bloomer and didn’t start trying to live that way until I was in my 40s. I now remind myself whenever I need to hear it that life is too short to worry about what others think of us. The night of my 30th high school reunion was one of those times I needed that reminder. Luckily I didn’t have too many cocktails and stuck around long enough to finally remember. Next time I’ll write it on my hand so I don’t forget. Lori Welbourne is a syndicated columnist.

home life at the time, I understand that becoming anti-social was my way of coping. But I came out of my shell decades ago and wondered why I’d revert back to feeling like I used to so quickly. As the mother of a 13-year-old son and a 10-year-old daughter, I’ve always shared with them my experience of being an extreme introvert in my adolescence, and encouraged them not to be like I was. I never wanted them to miss out on experiences and potential friendships like I did during that awkward time. But here I was doing exactly what I told them not to do – being shy. Despite feeling my confidence leave me at the door, I still managed to act social and talk to some lovely people. Often it was for the very first time. “If you could relive high school all over again, what would you do differently?” one of them asked. “I wouldn’t let what others thought of me hold me back or repress my personality,” I said, after

olks, we are in for a beautiful summer and with that, comes our Public Works crew out in full force. Our 2014 proposed Capital Plan totals more than $6,284,000 and includes projects under our General Capital, Quesnel Works: Capital Reinvestment Program, Public Works Equipment Reserve, Gas Tax Fund, Water and Sewer Funds, other reserves, and work carried forward from the previous year. May 12, the Committee of the Whole recommended that the 2014 Capital Works Program which includes road rehabilitation/overlay paving totaling more than $356,000, address these three road paving projects to start

the season: • North Fraser Drive from immediately north of Bartel’s Trailer Park entrance to immediately south of the school bus garage (includes widening the south bound lane asphalt only) = $190,540; • Valhalla Road from Racing Road to Hydraulic Road intersection onto Highway 97 south (includes repaving the widened portion of the bicycle path) = $126,500; • Davie Street – 100 block north bound lane only from Moffat Bridge Approach to Carson Avenue (sidewalk and curb repairs will be funded through the operations budget) = $39,380. Some of the other major projects under the 2014 proposed Capital Plan
Mary Sjostrom
MAYOR’S MESSAGE include paving and general road improvements, storm drain work, water and sewer upgrades, equipment purchases and replacement, accessibility improvements, West Quesnel Land Stability program, and road construction. The list of projects this year is much larger than what I have noted. Our Public Works Department is by far the largest department in the City with the largest bud-
get! Here is a quick look at a few of the upcoming projects: • Paving - 600 block of Kinchant Street lane; • Overlay paving on the trails; • Purchase of a new loader to build the Public Works fleet; • Accessibility improvements – wheelchair ramps on sidewalks, signage and painting; • Storm drain upgrades on St. Laurent Avenue from Reid to Front Streets; • Restoration of the steam shovel and boilers along the river front trail; • Replacement of the logs on the front stage in Lebourdais Park; • Installation of two traffic calming devices (locations to be determined);
• Road construction on Johnston Avenue along the traffic circle to Tuffley Street (includes storm water improvements). The largest project is the road rebuild on Evans Drive, Hoy Street, and English Avenue. This work also includes storm water improvements, concrete curbs, new sidewalks and asphalt road surfacing. Again, these are just some of the works that will be going on in our community this summer season. I also want to mention that the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure will be implementing their asphalt milling and paving program in Quesnel from May 20 to June 5. This work will include the
Northstar interchange, Front Street, Legion Drive, portions of Highway 97 South from the RCMP building to Quartz Road, and portions of Highway 97 North in the Two Mile Flat area. Our gardeners will soon be out planting and our crews will begin to mow our many parks and green spaces. Please be patient on the road as some of our equipment may tend to slow you down a bit. Thank you to our residents and our entire Public Works crew. If you have a question for Mayor Mary Sjostrom, e-mail it to us at newsroom@quesnelobserver.com and we’ll forward it to the Mayor.

Dragon boating in Quesnel B
ack in the winter of 2008, Sylvia Graham and a few others decided that Quesnel needed a Dragon boat. An old practice boat was acquired from Kamloops and the paddling began. Weighing about 700 kg, this 17-metre boat took some effort to get moving but, thankfully, the power of 20 paddlers had us plowing through the waves. For the first two years, we kept the boat on Dragon Lake courtesy of Tom and Cathy Briggs. Trooping through their yard each practice, we swarmed their dock and took to the lake with so much to learn. Our mentors, Sarah Shipley and Carolyn Draginov, were ladies with experience to share. We also had several members of the Prince George team NorthBreast Passage. We learned the ‘sewing machine stroke’, developed good 115 Thorncliffe Park Drive timing and have to Torontocontinued Ontario M4H 1M1 learn ever since. We were a 416•696•2853 keen bunch Tel of novices who had sore backs and arms every night but we eventually learned that using the core was so much wiser and safer. In the spring of 2009, we
hosted our first clinic and that September we traveled to the Penticton regatta. What a great time. We raced hard in a foreign, lighter, fibreglass boat. Those boats felt so tippy compared to our tank. The regatta was so much fun that the team has returned nearly every year since. Sadly, Sylvia never had a chance to paddle. Soon after the boat arrived she was diagnosed with advanced cancer and needed to put her energies towards that fight. Sylvia passed away in early 2011 but her spirit paddles on. For two years, Robert’s Roost graciously allowed us docking privileges. From there, the enthusiasm has continued to grow and in 2013 we acquired a new fibreglass boat. Now with two very long boats we needed to find a dedicated site and fortunately we will call Docket: 23302 Pioneer Park home. 247 - During JWT Client: this pastJobwinter, a boat houseAds Name: Participation was constructed and Vanderheide will soon Production Contact: Lara become the Dragon’s lair. But until the new boat B:5.8125” house is ready, we’ll launch from Cathy’sT:5.8125” dock on Beach Crescent. ToS:5.8125” meet all desires,
a competitive group that seeks to develop strength and endurance will paddle on Mondays and a recreational group that wants to have fun on the lake will hopefully have both boats out on Wednesdays. We have paddles and lifejackets to borrow and team gear if you are keen. Your first time trying this sport will be free, you can drop in on Wednesdays or you can sign up for the year for reasonable cost. The club has shared the sport with several elementary classes and we look forward to continuing these introductions. We welcome anyone who wants to paddle and we aspire to creating a mixed team and to working with a junior group. If you would like more information, email dragonlakepaddlers@mail. com or visit our Facebook site at Quesnel-Canoe-Club As well, paddlers will be at the Farmer’s Market each Saturday in May if you would like to chat with someone. – submitted by Liz-Anne Eyford

Ever think about our amazing tongues
E
ver think about your tongue? Pretty amazing device. Did you know that in some way, the tongue is the most powerful body part you have? That is because it can do more harm than anything else, while at the same time has the power to heal and encourage and do a lot of good. But it all depends on how well we have control of our tongues.
of our tongues. Before you type it and push enter, think about it. Bring your comments under your control and ask,
“Will this hurt or heal, discourage or encourage?” Is what I’m passing on really correct information? Let’s seek to
make our tongues (and keyboards) instruments of healing and encouragement and our whole
community will benefit. Shannon Bell is a pastor with Cariboo Presbyterian Church in Ndazkoh.

There is nothing more destructive to our community than gossip and the way we talk about one another. Here are a few quotes to give us all something to think about: •The words of a gossip are like tasty bits of food. People like to gobble them up. Proverbs 18:8 •Thoughtless words can wound as deeply as any sword, but wisely spoken words can heal. Prov 12:18 •A real Christian is a person who can give his pet parrot to the town gossip. Billy Graham •A troublemaker plants seeds of strife; gossip separates the best of friends. Prov 16:28 Do you have good control over your tongue? Do your words heal or hurt? The letter of James talks about how we use a little bit in a horse’s mouth to control the whole horse. It is harder to control our tongues which can do a lot of harm.

Relay for Life is a community affair with heartwarming support
Relay 2014
City Furniture & Appliances and Ashley Furniture HomeStore have partnered on a very special fundraising initiative. During the month of April, both stores donated a portion from their sales to Quesnel’s Relay for Life 2014. City Furniture and Ashley Furniture would like to thank their customers for shopping with them; with their support, both stores combined were able to raise $2,000 for Relay for Life. All of the staff and management at City Furniture and Ashley Furniture would also like to thank the volunteers and members of the community who help make Relay for Life a huge success, and a wonderful event for our city.

T
wo local people with close ties to the Canadian Cancer Society are heading up this year’s Quesnel Relay for Life. Pam Moorside, whose daughter Emily began her cancer journey at the age of 2 and Ray Kinloch who is a lymphoma and thyroid cancer survivor, are the co-chairs of the event. When Erin Reynolds of the Prince George Relay organization contacted Pam, it was because she’d heard of Pam’s excellent skills and dedication. For two years, Pam had assisted with team development and spoke at the event in Quesnel of her daughters cancer journey. Emily and the family have also attended CCS Camp Good Times in Maple Ridge since she
was three years old. “How Canadian Cancer Society has helped our family, I knew that when I committed I would do whatever I could to make the event a success,” she said. “I want the event to run smoothly and for everyone involved to have a sense of pride in what we accomplish.” For Ray, volunteering with Relay for Life is his way of giving back and a huge thank you for all CCS help during his cancer journey. As a retired RCMP officer, Ray said he has the time and was happy to help out. “This is my first time volunteering with RFL, but I’ve been a participant in the event for nine years, long before I had cancer,” he said. “I was supposed to look after team recruitment and development and was expecting to do as I was told but ended up co-
charing with Pam.” The Relay committee is mostly new members and Pam said they are quite a nice mix, well-balanced from the community with all age ranges and everyone gets along very well. “We share ideas and at the same time maintain the essence of the event,” she added. With 21 teams committed they are only down slightly from last year’s number, however Pam said there’s still time for teams to sign up. Ray added most of the teams are return teams but there are several new teams. Last year Quesnel Relay for Life raised $112,000 and the goal this year is to hit the $120,000 mark. Many of the activities are participant-favourites such as non-stop stage entertainment, activities for kids and of course the very moving luminary ceremony at dusk.
Luminary bags can be purchased for $5 at the new CCS office south of town in the Fireside Heating building, online or the day of the event. “These are purchased in honour of anyone who’s battled cancer,” Ray said. Both Pam and Ray said they could always do with more volunteers. “We’d love anyone with as little as an hour or if they can spare all day to share in this very special community event to call me, 250-983-7514,” she said. For Ray he is particularly looking for people to help with set up and tear down. Set up begins at 9 a.m. and must be completed by 10 a.m. in anticipation of the 10:45 a.m. opening ceremonies. “And we start dismantling immediately following the final lap at around 11 p.m.” New this year is a
barbecue dinner on Relay day. “This is for the entire community whether you are a relayer or not,” Pam said. “We want people to participate on whatever level they chose, come for dinner and of course all donations are welcome. We want everyone to understand what Relay for Life is and how they can share in the celebration.” Ray also wants to remind everyone that Relay for Life is a nonsmoking, alcohol and drug-free event.
“Relayers should remember to wear comfortable shoes, sunscreen, sunglasses, a hat and bring refreshing, non-alcoholic beverages,” he said. “Bring an umbrella, strictly for shade, of course and everyone pray for sunshine.” Both Pam and Ray say they are honoured to be part of the Relay for Life team and encourage the entire community to come to LeBourdais Park May 24. “Fighting back against cancer is everyone’s mission,” Pam said.
Help the Hill Boys reach their goal Due to a family emergency the Hill Boys are unable to canvass donations. Anyone interested in helping them reach their goal, donate online at cancer.ca/relay and follow the links to the Hill Boys. They still plan to have their heads shaven on Relay day with whatever donations they manage to secure.

Judith Desbrisay’s Polar Perceptions on display at UNBC Rotundfa Gallery during two International Arctic conferences, May 20 – 26.

Arctic art meets international Arctic-focused minds ANNIE GALLANT Observer Reporter
When you ponder the fate of our fabulous far north, you will be in the company of scholars, artists, educators, politicians, corporate executives, researchers, indigenous people and environmentalists many of which will be attending two northern conferences at UNBC May 20 – 26. Also part of this illustrious gathering will be local artist Judith DesBrisay whose Polar Perceptions show will be on display in the Rotunda Gallery at the university. Polar Perceptions complements the University of the Arctic Council meetings and the eighth International Congress of Social Sciences (ICASS VIII) at UNBC. When Desbrisay first learned of the two conferences she felt compelled to offer her show which was readily accepted. “I travel to the edge, gathering insight relevant to the interwoven nature of person and place,” Desbrisay said. “My life, work and travels led me through urban, remote and rural settings in North and South America, including extensive and varied exploration of Canada’s High Arctic/Nunavut, Greenland and Antarctica.” Her observations, photographs, personal
sketches and journal records led to her creation of a body of work that speaks to her commitment to whatever action is necessary to reestablish and sustain the Earth’s delicate balance of life. “I gazed at distant horizons beyond polar deserts and oceans; noted the lush texture of Arctic oases in miniature bloom in stark contract to the majesty of immense icebergs as they paraded through Davis Straight,” she writes. “As an Arctic worker and tourist I joined the legions of explorers, missionaries, whalers, government agents, scientists and artists who seek to understand and exploit this last imaginary place.” Her Polar Perceptions show is a series of diverse paintings whose images are governed by the changing nature of her Arctic observations. Her fervent hope is her works will prompt others to acknowledge the diversity of Arctic life and landscape; its strengths and its challenges. IASSA’s first congress was held in 1992 in Ste-Foy, Quebec and has been held in various Arctic countries every three years since. IASSA is an association of social scientists, humanities scholars and others interested in the Arctic and Subarctic. The eighth IASSA congress brings together several hundred Arctic/ Subarctic social scientists and
humanities scholars as well as indigenous and nonoindigenous northerners and representatives from various levels of government, NGOs and other organizations. The theme of ICASS VIII is Northern Sustainabilities. The University of the Arctic is a cooperative network of universities, colleges, research institutes and other organizations concerned with education and research in and about the North. UArctic builds and strengthens collective resources and collaborative infrastructure that enables member institutions to better serve their constituents and their regions. UArctic’s mission is empower the people of the Circumpolar North by providing unique educational and research opportunities through collaboration within a powerful network of members. UArctic promotes northern voices in the globalized world, reflecting common values and interests across all eight Arctic states and among all norther peoples and cultures. With more than 450 delegates from 26 countries, Desbrisay is proud to be part of this very important set of conferences. The Rotunda Gallery Polar Perceptions show is open to both delegates and the public May 20 – 26.

High-Speed Internet. Where you live.
Government of British Columbia and Xplornet Partner to Bring Affordable High-Speed to Remote B.C. Residents. Xplornet Communications Inc. is pleased to announce a partnership with the government of British Columbia to help bridge the urban/rural digital divide in rural and remote British Columbia. The initiative is a multi-year program to make Internet connectivity more affordable in rural and remote areas where installation costs can be high. The program will provide a subsidy of up to $250, or half of the cost of an installation of broadband equipment to new residential and business customers within Xplornet’s industry leading 4G rural broadband satellite footprint. This will significantly reduce the costs of installation, costs that may have been a barrier to the adoption of high-speed Internet. “The government of British Columbia deserves significant praise for a program that helps break down one of the last barriers to full connectivity in the province – namely the high cost of broadband installation in remote parts of BC. Now, even the most remote British Columbians can affordably benefit from the transformative power of high-speed Internet to connect them to the global economy,” said Xplornet President Allison Lenehan. Xplornet is the country’s leading rural broadband Internet provider and takes pride in connecting over 200,000 Canadians to the world. The commitment to offering every Canadian reliable, affordable and fast Internet is shared by an ever-expanding network of over 450 local dealers, including 60 in British Columbia alone.

Branda Eggert is not only excited to be attending the 2014 Spirit of Adventure Rendezvous (SOAR) camp in July, she is very proud, having fund raised to pay her own way. SOAR is a back-to-basics outdoor camp sponsored by the BC Council of Girl Guides of Canada, for girls aged 11 – 18. The annual camp is located at various places around the province providing campers a chance to see different areas of the province. The 2014 SOAR camp could see as many as 2,500 participants and activities include traditional camp-type events however the girls may also sign up to try out activities in each of the program areas and go on day trips to tour the local area. For Branda Eggert, this is her first guiding trip outside the North Cariboo and she has worked very hard to make it a reality. She’s sold many, many boxes of Girl Guide cookies, collected bottles and cans, served food at a spagetti dinner and done what she could to raise the $400 needed to attend 2014 SOAR. She is the only member of the 4th Quesnel Guides who will be attending the camp, but Branda will have other Quesnel Guides and leaders to share the experience with. Quesnel Girl Guides will be have 11 representatives, including Branda, at the week-long provincial 2014 SOAR event in Enderby in July. Branda would like to thank all of you who have bought cookies from her in the Barlow Creek area and all of you who have helped with her many bottle drives.

LIFESTYLES
On behalf of the Quesnel and District Hospice Palliative Care Association, Susan MacNeill is welcomed to the positions of public relations and fundraiser. Susan’s path to work with seniors started when she was very young. Influenced throughout her early years by family members, Susan also started volunteering at a very young age. In 1998 Susan and a colleague started the Quesnel Chapter of Volunteer Grandparents Society of B.C. Also as a pilot project, Susan and the same colleague in 2004 started the Seniors Advocacy Service. For the past
15 years, Susan has been employed in the hospital industry, as a long term care aide, recreation assistant, mental health worker and nursing unit clerk. Susan also enjoys an interactive working environment with challenges and has a committed desire to make a difference in our community. She replaces Judy Monych who is retiring effective May 14. Judy has been with the association for the past 14 years, as both a volunteer and, more recently, the executive secretary. We wish Judy all the best in her retirement. – submitted by QDHPCA

May 18 - May 24, 2014 ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, your thoughts are distant right now, almost as if you’re living in a fantasy world. This is creatively beneficial but not so helpful for practical tasks. TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, if you’re not careful, you could find yourself debating family and friends this week. Instead, try to sit back and listen rather than fostering debate. GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, a realization about what is really important to you instills a renewed sense of confidence this week. You will be focused on important things. CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, if your finances seem like they are in a state of upheaval, it could be because you have not looked at everything in black and white just yet. Make some changes. LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 You come on too strong sometimes, Leo. Those who know you best can handle this approach, but you can scare off potential new friends if you do not ease up. VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 Be patient and do not demand too much of yourself during the next few days, Virgo. You need to keep your workload light; otherwise, you may get easily overwhelmed. LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23 This is a time to discover the value of others, Libra. A willingness to try new things and delegate some responsibilities will free up your calendar. SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22 Certain personalities don’t always click, Scorpio. Don’t feel the need to overcompensate for a strained relationship. Spend more time with those with whom you connect. SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21 Flexible thinking is key, Sagittarius, especially as you face a few new challenges this week. There are some opportunities to reconnect with family later in the week. CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20 A rush of activity fills your calendar and keeps your phone ringing off the hook, Capricorn. Your challenge will be separating the pressing events from others. AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, paperwork has built up and requires more time than you had originally planned. There is no way to avoid this task, but a helper can make it move more quickly. PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20 Moderation is your mantra for the week, Pisces. Do not let the pendulum swing too far in either direction. FAMOUS BIRTHDAYS MAY 18 - Tina Fey, Actress/Writer (44) MAY 19 - Lily Cole, Actress (26) MAY 20 - Sierra Boggess, Actress (32) MAY 21 - Judge Reinhold, Actor (57) MAY 22 - Ginnifer Goodwin, Actress (36) MAY 23 - Jewel, Singer/Poet (40) MAY 24 - Bob Dylan, Singer (73)

Crossfire Assaulted
WHITNEY GRIFFITHS Observer Reporter
It was a tough game for the Cariboo Hotel Crossfire's Thursday. Try as they might the Crossfire's were no match for Prince George's Northland Nissan Assault. The game started with the Assault slamming in two goals at the beginning of the first period. With the Assault up by two points the Crossfire still persevered, staying hot on their opponents heels through the first period. Scoring two goals Crossfire went into the second period tied, 2 – 2. This small victory was short lived as the Assault quickly stole the lead in the second period, netting nine goals by the end of the period and leaving the Crossfire behind. Though it was expected that
the more experienced Assault players would have initially taken the lead, the final period didn't play out as smoothly as coach Hugh Whalen had planned. "We’re waiting until the third period," Whalen said. "They don't have the young runners we do. We're gonna make them run around more and tire them out." But by the start of the third period the Assault players were firmly in the lead and the Crossfire were struggling to catch up to their opponents seven-point advantage. The Crossfire matched the Assault point for point in the final period, each team netting three goals before the final whistle of the night. The final score was 14 – 7, in favour of the Assault. However, the Quesnel lacrosse association still did have some reason to celebrate at the end of the week.
The bantam and midget teams travelled to Mackenzie Sunday, May 11. The Wildfire midget team played two games on Sunday, winning one and losing one. Quesnel played against Prince George losing by only one point with a final score of 3 – 2. They picked up the pace in the game against Mackenzie, winning with a final score of 6 – 0. That same day, the Quesnel Wildfire bantams celebrated two victories over Mackenzie teams, dominating with 12 – 6 and 14 – 4. The Quesnel lacrosse Intermediate team has their first home games of the season Saturday, May 24 at 2 p.m. against Prince George. The next home game for the Crossfire is Thursday, May 29 at 8 p.m. where the players will take on the Prince George Cowboy Ranch Stylers at the Quesnel Twin Arenas.
Track and fielders, run as fast as you can WHITNEY GRIFFITHS Observer Reporter Quesnel students took to the track, attending the first meet of the season at Masich Place stadium in Prince George May 3. After a long and cold winter, the Sub Zero Meet provided a great training day for the young athletes while still maintaining a competitive aspect amongst the students participating. Track and field member Jett McCall was off to the races running for Red Bluff elementary to win gold in girls 12-year-olds
800 Meter Run and silver in the 1200 meter run at her first track meet of the season. For Quesnel junior school, Drew Avery won silver in girls 14-15 300 meter dash, with fellow student Raechel Fowler running behind to place sixth. Avery also raced her way to gold in the 800 meter run and competed in long jump, placing sixth. In the 80 meter hurdles, girls 14-15, Haely Pike won silver. Pike also took home gold for high jump and landed in fourth place for triple jump. Winning silver for Quesnel was Joshua Muir
in the 100 meter dash, boys 14-15, with fellow teammates Nicholas Berlinquette coming in fourth place and seventh place going to Braedon Smith. The tables turned when these two racers took on the 300 meter dash. Berlinquette took home bronze and Muir followed behind placing sixth. In Long Jump, boys 14-15, Braedon Smith launched himself off the ground to win fourth placed with fellow track and field member Jared Hamelin landing behind in seventh place. Quesnel excelled at the
javelin throw, boys 14-15. Zachary McCall threw past the other competitors to win silver, with bronze going to Cole stone and Jared Hamelin coming in seventh place. Correlieu track and field members did not let the cold winter numb their skills with many of the young athletes placing at the meet. In girls 16-17, Christina Lawrence won gold for triple jump and in javelin throw. Also placing in the javelin throw, taking home silver, and gold for discus throw was Brittany Grob. In the 100 meter dash,
boys 16-17, Quesnel students left the other participants behind. Konrad Teetzan raced ahead winning the gold, followed closely by teammate Justin Pike who claimed silver. Teetzan also raced in the 400 meter dash, flying by the other participants to take home gold yet again. Cole Dinsdale participated in the 800 meter dash, boys 16-17, racing ahead to win gold and silver in the 1500 meter run. Justin Pike landed in second place in Long Jump, boys 16-17, taking home another silver
medal. C.S.S boys showed their strength in the javelin throw. For boys 16-17, Justin Pike took home the gold with teammate Dakota Linden coming in sixth place. Winning another gold for Quesnel was Brayden McCall, boys 18-19. This first track meet proved to be a great training day for all the accomplished young athletes in the area and promises to be the start to an eventful season. The Zone Championships are May 22 – 23 in Prince George at Masich Place Stadium.

switches to low beams when an oncoming vehicle is detected. Other options include a panoramic sunroof, a heated steering wheel, ventilated front seats, tri-zone automatic climate control, and rear door window blinds. Driver-assist safety technologies are also available in abundance for those who like the car to do some thinking for them. The new Genesis is also a statement of intent: it heralds what will be the look of the seven new less-premium Hyundai products expects to grace our showrooms before 2016. When it comes to driving, it’s really a tale of two cars. The top-of-the-line model offers a big V8 5-litre power plant, with 420 horses at its disposal. Ironically, it’s best enjoyed jogged along at low speed on the highway, where it has the feel of an old-fashioned big family sedan. (It’s not a lot of fun on the twisting lakeside roads of the Okanagan.) Cars destined for the Canadian market will come with an all-new HTRAC
active wheel drive (AWD) system. Says Hyundai: “Performance of the vehicle’s all-new platform was validated in some of the world’s most demanding driving environments, including Germany’s famed Nürburgring Nordschleife and Korea’s Yeongam Formula 1 racing circuit.” The large variety of proving grounds offered by the northern Okanagan was much more appealing to me. And especially so in the car equipped with the 311 horsepower, 3.8-litre GDI V6 engine. Flipping between the Normal, Eco and Sport modes and tapping the gear-changing paddles on the steering wheel made for an enjoyable drive. Little lean in the corners and sprightly up hill. Both engines are coupled to an 8-speed automatic transmission with a SHIFTRONIC manual mode. The base price is $43,000, $48,000 gets you the Luxury version, and $53,000 loads up the tech features. If you want the V8, get ready to spend $62,000. keith.morgan@drivewaybc.ca

Luxury and hi-tech systems abound in the 4x4s that show up in the local media test fleets. When I stepped out of one of the more loaded examples the other I got to thinking about yesteryear. Automatic fourSome might refer to them as wheel-drive was the good old days – judge achieved by asking for yourself. I remember – not that long ago – four your passenger to in a truck when step out and lock the wheeling the standard transmission front hubs. shifter was so loose, you didn’t know you were in Ian Harwood gear or neutral. Anti-lock brakes were when you lost your master cylinder to a stick, while (independently minded) power steering kicked in when you hit the corner of a rock so hard it ripped the steering wheel out of your hand and if you weren’t carful your thumb as well. Traction control came in the shape of new tires. Automatic four-wheel-drive was achieved by asking your passenger to step out and lock the front hubs. The parking brake was a log shoved under the rear tire. Soft suspension meant your shocks were blown. Off-road suspension meant you spent more time hitting the roof with your head and back than you actually spent on the seat, which if you were lucky had some remaining padding still in it. Your seat belts would tighten up on every bump and if you didn’t stop you would be suffocated. You would be lucky if your radio would bring in a few channels on the AM band only! And the CB radio might just reach the driver in front of you. Wheel articulation really indicated your leaf spring was broken in half. Air conditioning was driving with your windows down and trying to breath in between dust clouds. GPS was your buddy screaming out, “I think it’s this road”. Most people used to sleep in the back of their trucks. However, I remember one time after a long day of four-wheeling pulling into an open area by a river where I found a nice sandy mound. With the aid of my flash light I quickly spread the sand out with my arms making a flat area in which to put my tent. It was about 5:30 am when I first noticed the red ants crawling all around my sleeping bag. I was tired so killing the one at a time was not a big deal until I saw many climbing the side of the tent. I quickly climbed out of my tent to discover the soft sandy mound I found was actually a giant anthill. The vehicles of today have the capabilities of descending steep hills without even putting your foot on the brake and you could disconnect your sway bar end links to allow for more articulation. Ability to stop on a hill without rolling back is nice. Comfortable seats are really an improvement, especially on long trips. Although we can’t relive the past, it’s important to remember technology is there to help us. There is no replacement for common sense, so don’t let your truck drive you, drive it and be safe. If you have any fun and not-so-fun truck tales to share, please drop me a line. ian.harwood@drivewaybc.ca

Good thing they weren’t driving. The suspension is composed of front Macpherson struts and a rear double wishbone type, trailing arms set up. Toyota gets an A+ for ride comfort. And it’s arguably one of the best in its class.

Keep in mind the excited to see how well these
aforementioned stats about its size and weight and those numbers are really impressive. My real world numbers? A combined average of 8.9L/100km. Not bad. Not bad at all. Most of my driving was done on the highway so the hybrid system doesn’t have a chance to run off electricity alone at those speeds. Oh, and it’s all-wheel drive. Sun or snow, this SUV is ready for it all. With fuel prices hovering around the $1.50/litre mark, the more
kilometres I can get out of a tank, the better. And the Highlander Hybrid made me a very happy gal. The conclusion: The 2014 Toyota Highlander Hybrid Limited AWD is competent, potent and a fabulous sport utility vehicle even in Eco Mode where the fun is a little bit restricted.

ment system is easy to use and the graphics look good and the screen pops up for access to the hidden storage area with a USB jack. Standard features include tilt and telescopic steering wheel, Bluetooth connectivity, USB, 8-way power driver’s seat and more. But the back seat might be the best part of this car. The legroom has limo like dimensions and the space side-toside and headroom is ample. The trunk is also huge with a fold down rear seat, providing more space than many small SUVs. Drive The Impala is now offered with a 4-cylinder or V6. The base engine is a 2.5L with direct injection unit and 195hp. My test Impala didn’t have this engine but I have used this new engine in the Malibu and I was very impressed with it then, one of the best new engines I have used. The V6 engine is a 3.6L direct injection unit with a potent 305hp. Both are matched to a 6-speed automatic that can be shifted manually but the shifter is on top of the knob, not the best place. The big car platform and independent suspension makes for a sure-footed ride with almost
luxury car feel. The road feel is there, but never intrusive. This big sedan can actually handle rather well. Not the choice for a backcountry road excursions but stable and secure feeling. Verdict Consumer Reports recently rated this one of the best cars they had ever tested, right behind the Tesla Model S and BMW 135i. This new Impala does everything a big car buyer is looking for: It cruises with ease, has more than enough room for five full size adults and the interior is quiet and refined. I would suggest that buyers of more expensive Luxury brands like Buick or Lexus give this car a shot, it has all the same comfort but with a lower price point. Once main criticism of this new car is the lack of an all wheel drive system. The Buick LaCrosse does off it as dose the Cadillac, the major difference between these products. Mid size sedan buyers should also have a look at the Impala offers for just slightly more money. Hopefully this new Impala will not be relegated to fleet sales and rental lots. zack.spencer@drivewaybc.ca

automatic transmission. It’s a drive combination that provides decent power and very good highway fuel economy, rated at 6.5L/100 km. The CXL Turbo trim, on the other hand, comes with a 2.0L turbocharged direct-injection engine that’s rated at 220 horsepower (164 kW). The auto transmission is a crisper-shifting six speed unit and its 6.9L/100 km highway fuel economy is still good, considering the extra power. Buick expanded the Regal line to four for the 2012 model year, with the addition of eAssist and GS editions. The eAssist edition has a mild-hybrid powertrain that uses an electric motor/ lithium-ion battery pack combo to boost power to road wheels when needed, and conserves fuel. It’s the most economical edition of Regal with a frugal city/highway fuel economy rating of 8.3/5.4 L/100km respectively. The GS edition is a more potent version of Turbo that rides lower and comes with Brembo front disc brakes and 19-inch or 20inch (optional) wheels. Under hood its turbocharged engine
can produce 255-horsepower and 295 ft-lb of torque. Acceleration to 100 km/hour is under 7-seconds and its highway fuel economy is 7.4 L/100 km. The base (CXL/2.4-litre engine) edition was dropped for the 2013 model year and trim levels offered were eAssist, Turbo, Turbo Sport, and GS. On the safety front, standard equipment includes a stability control system and the OnStar emergency service. It comes with six air bags and rear seat side air bags were an option and standard on GS. Regal’s crash test performance was also outstanding and earned it a “top safety pick” rating from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. So far, overall reliability has been “average” according to Consumer Reports, but it did get a “recommended buy” rating and is one of the top-rated vehicles in its class.
