Rally urges yes vote in Saturday’s referendum
The Cariboo Regional District unveiled its new corporate website today which is located at cariboord. ca. The site has been designed based on feedback and suggestions received from residents along with research into best practices from other local governments. The goal of the redesign was to modernize the look and feel and make the website more useable, professional and adaptable. The CRD website has been developed to provide information and interactivity for and with residents, visitors and the general public who live, work or play within the Cariboo Chilcotin. The budget for this project was $7,500 and the site was built by Sticky Wicket Designs of Prince George, B.C. “The Cariboo Regional District has optimized the use of our website to facilitate better communications with all residents and audiences,” CRD Chair Al Richmond said. “We want to ensure we are providing a website with thorough and current information that will serve our residents’ needs at a reasonable price.” Some of the key features of the new website include improved navigation, search engine optimization, enhanced internal search capabilities, mobile device compatibility and is compatible with all major browsers while in a user-friendly layout. Among other purposes, the Cariboo Regional District is using the website to provide bylaw information, departmental information and updates, CRD news and events as well as emergency operations communications. Given the growing and important role social media is playing within our society, the CRD has also fully integrated Facebook, Twitter and YouTube with room for expansion as new social media tools are developed.
Happy
shooting for success PAGE A14

Hullabaloo Hut, a space for serious play The Hullabaloo Hut – a playful zone for young children and their families was introduced to the Quesnel Farmers Market last summer by Jodi Ballinger, an artisan and market vendor. She wanted to provide a safe, playful and engaging outdoor market space for young children and their families – a space for children to explore, be creative and meet new friends. The Quesnel Farmers’ Market was thrilled to have a children’s tent available as it not only appealed to market shoppers, but to vendors with young families that spend their Saturday mornings at the market. Last summer, Ballinger borrowed outdoor tents from both Bo Peep Boutique and North Cariboo Aboriginal Family Program Society. This summer, she had the opportunity to apply for a sponsorship fund with Community Futures North Cariboo, who awarded the market $250 which was enough to provide the desperately needed tent. Thank you to Community Futures. The Hullabaloo Hut sign was designed and donated by local artist Shelley Enemark from Art & Soul Creations. The market is a great place to bring your kids for so many reasons. It allows you to provide your family with wholesome, healthy food while supporting your community and artisans at the same time. Also, trips to the market provide a great way
to spend time together as a family. They serve not only as a way for people to purchase local food and gifts but also as a chance for them to connect with others within their communities. Buying local promotes a sense of pride in your home town. The market began in 1988 with a handful of vendors and a warm reception from local shoppers. Harvest was established in 1989 as the organizing body for the market and became a non-profit society in 1994. Now, Harvest is directed by a dedicated volunteer board who are committed to supporting and promoting local agriculture. Today Quesnel is fortunate to have one of the finest markets in the North as several hundred customers visit each Saturday. The market looks forward to The Hullabaloo Hut continuing and have plans to provide additions such as a rocking chair suitable for nursing moms, an information board promoting community family events, storage bins, books, puppets and musical instruments – just to name a few. Appropriate donations are welcome as well as volunteers willing to spend a few hours hanging out and playing at the Hut. So the next time you’re visiting the market with the littles, be sure to pop in to The Hullabaloo Hut for some serious play. For information on Karen Borsato with Community Futures presents Hullabaloo Hut creator Jodi Ballinger with a cheque for volunteering contact $250 to purchase a tent for the playful space. 250-992-8860.

Last minute voting information
Mayor urges voters to register their opinion
O
nce again, I would like to use this opportunity to address questions that have been asked at our recent Open Houses regarding the proposed North Cariboo Arena Replacement Project.
Who can vote?
Mary Sjostrom
First of all, there are two types of voters, residents that live within the North Cariboo Recreation and Parks (NCRP) service area and those who own property within the NCRP service area but may live elsewhere in B.C. The NCRP service area is governed by the Cariboo Regional District and the City of Quesnel and includes residents/property in Bouchie Lake, Red Bluff, West Fraser, Barlow Creek, Parkland, and the City of Quesnel. If you fall under the category of “resident”, you must be a Canadian citizen, be at least 18-years-old, have lived in B.C. for at least the last six months and in the area for at least the last 30 days. If you are a “nonresident” which means you own property in the NCRP service area but may live somewhere else in B.C., you must also be a Canadian citizen, be at least 18-years-old and have lived in B.C. for at least the last six months. For nonresident voters, there are additional documentation
MAYOR’S MESSAGE requirements that may need to be completed before the day you vote. I would strongly encourage nonresident voters to contact the Cariboo Regional District’s Chief Election Officer, Alice Johnston, adjohnston@cariboord. bc.ca at (250) 392‐3351 or 1‐800‐665‐1636 or Deputy Chief Election Officer, Gina Albers galbers@quesnel.ca, from the City of Quesnel at 250‐992‐2111. If you are not sure whether you live within the NCRP service area, there are maps available online at cariboord.bc.ca or quesnel. ca under the North Cariboo Arena Replacement Project. You can also telephone either of the Election Officers above or the main offices of the Cariboo Regional District at 1-800665-1636 or City Hall in Quesnel at 250-992-2111.
What do I need to bring in order to vote? When heading to the polls, you must bring at least two pieces of ID.
One of them must have a signature. Between the two, they should prove your address, but if you do not have something with your current address you are allowed to make a formal declaration of residency. Picture identification is not necessary. Typical examples of ID that people use are a driver’s license, BC ID, firearms license, CareCard, credit card, SIN, status card, bank card, etc. Even a utility bill will work as a secondary piece of ID.
The referendum Eligible voters who reside or own property within the NCRP service area (described above) will be asked to vote on the bylaw authorizing the borrowing required to proceed with the Arena Replacement Project which is up to $7.5 million.
What will the referendum question be? Are you in favour of the Cariboo Regional District adopting Loan Authorization Bylaw 4905 to borrow up to $7.5 million over 20 years to provide for the construction of a new arena as part of the North Cariboo Recreation and Parks Service? (Based on 2014 assessed values, the estimated annual cost to undertake this borrowing translates to a residential
tax rate of $26/$100,000 of the net taxable assessed value of land and improvements.) If the referendum is successful on June 14, fundraising efforts will begin as well as lobbying to secure more funds from senior government. We are only borrowing the amount of money needed to replace the existing arena.
Voting day General voting day is Saturday, June 14, from 8 a.m. – 8 p.m. at the following locations: • Red Bluff Lhtako Elementary, 1533 Maple Drive, Quesnel • Parkland Community Hall, 5016 Bjornson Road, Quesnel • Barlow Creek Elementary School, 816 Barkerville Hwy, Quesnel • Bouchie Lake Elementary School, 2074 Blackwater Road, Quesnel • West Fraser Fire Hall, 243 Jackpine Flats Road, Quesnel • Quesnel Legion Branch #94, 262 Kinchant Street, Quesnel If you have any questions at all regarding this project, please call me. If you have a question for Mayor Mary Sjostrom, please e-mail it to us at newsroom@quesnelobserver. com and we’ll forward it to the Mayor so she can answer it in an upcoming column.

Alexa’s Team credited with reducing alcohol-related motor vehicle deaths in B.C.
The members of Alexa’s Team have delivered on their promise to the family of Alexa Middelaer and other families that have lost loved ones to drinking driving, by significantly reducing the number of alcohol-related motor vehicle deaths in B.C. In recognition of their diligence and success enforcing the impaired driving laws of this province, ICBC, the Justice Institute of B.C. and the Middelaer family are honouring the 313 officers who form the 2013 Alexa’s Team at four events held in Surrey, Greater Victoria, Kelowna and Prince
George. In 2010, The Middelaer family challenged the RCMP, Municipal police officers and the Ministry of Justice and Attorney General of B.C. to reduce the number of deaths caused by alcohol impaired driving by 35 per cent by the end of 2013, the year Alexa would have turned 10 years old. The 52 per cent decrease in alcoholrelated motor vehicle deaths announced by the Ministry of Justice in February, represents 190 lives saved. Drinking and driving fatalities have dropped significantly over the past three years and Alexa’s Team members were
responsible for almost 50 per cent of the impaired driving enforcement in B.C. in 2013. In 2012, Beirness and Associates Inc. conducted their bi-annual roadside survey to measure alcohol and drug use among B.C. drivers. The findings indicated
that the levels of drinking and driving were the lowest ever recorded with 8.3 per cent of drivers testing over .05 blood alcohol content. The study also indicated that patterns of drug use by drivers were more consistent than
alcohol use with 7.4 per cent of drivers testing positive for drug-impairment. Alexa’s Team members have been working just as diligently on the drug-impaired driving front, removing 231 drivers impaired by drugs from the roads in 2013.
CAPSULE COMMENTS
With Kim B.Sc. (Pharm) How’s your sunscreen supply? The shelf life for standard sunscreen products is three years but if it has been exposed to high heat during last summer, it may not be up to potency. It’s good to replace it with some fresh product. Choose one with an SPF of at least 30 and labelled broad spectrum to protect against both UVA and UVB rays. One of the best anti-aging things you can do for your skin is not to overexpose it to sunlight especially during the middle hours of hot summer days. Use sunscreen lotion and clothing to protect your skin from the aging effects of sunlight. Those with lung conditions like asthma often use inhalers to help open the airways. These devices work well but only if the medication gets deep into the lungs. So proper technique is important. Metered-dose inhalers must be shaken well then breathed in slowly and deeply when the inhaler is pressed. By breathing in continuously minimizes the amount of medication that hits the back of the throat. The other type of inhaler is the dry powder inhaler where the force of the patient’s breath moves the medication into the lungs. This type of inhaler comes as single-use or multi-use types. Remember, proper use of these inhalers is important otherwise the medication will not work effectively. If you feel you aren’t getting the most from your inhalers, see our pharmacists for advice. We’d be happy to check your technique and help you use them correctly. Mon. - Fri. - 8am - 8pm Sat. Sun. Holidays 10am - 6pm

In 1944, Canada was a young, yet proud nation. The task of capturing Juno Beach was an enormous responsibility for our nation as it was one of the five designated beaches in the coordinated efforts by Allied powers in Operation Overlord.
I had the privilege of attending the Commemoration Dinner in Vancouver and meeting with many of our veterans. Mr. Jean-Christophe Fleury, the Consulate General of France spoke about how important and respected our Canadian veterans are in France.

On a personal note, over the years I have had many conversations with my grandparents and have wrote down their stories about their experiences in the navy during WWII. My grandfather still remembers clearly specific dates and where he was at during the war and it is critically important that we remember their tremendous sacrifice. I asked the veterans at the event to ensure that their stories were wrote down and one dear sailor sent me the book he wrote about his experiences. I have been so fortunate to attend many events this past year in my role and this was a significant one that I will remember and hold close to my heart. On this 70th anniversary year of D-Day let us never forget the courage and sacrifice our veterans made to Canada. We owe a great deal of gratitude to them, and we shall never forget that.

Seventy years ago on June 6, 1944 over 14,000 brave Canadians landed on Juno Beach in France in the Battle of Normandy. Their valiant effort forever changed the role of Canada in the world and was one of the critical turning points for the Allied victory in World War II.
In recognition of the bravery and courage of Canadian soldiers, on May 21 66 veterans from B.C. in the Second World War were presented with France’s highest honour, the Ordre national de la Legion d’honneur.

New rink needed
More than 200 kids play hockey in Quesnel. We have the Kangaroos and numerous men’s hockey teams. There is also figure skating, ringette, lacrosse and roller derby that all use the rink regularly. Also every year, the arena is used for grad and other functions. Rink one’s on the verge of being condemned. We don’t need it collapsing on our kids and families. If we lose rink one, where do you think these kids will be? Also
with the new arena, we will be able to attract bigger-named artists, which will benefit the whole community. When people come to Quesnel for tournaments and concerts, our hotels, restaurants and businesses all benefit. We want new people to move to Quesnel and we want our young people who leave for education to come back. Without proper facilities they will move somewhere else. Sharon Simon Quesnel

W
hat’s illegal to buy but legal to sell – but only in certain places? The proposed prostitution legislation is a complete disaster and will only serve to put sex-trade workers in further harms way. Bill C-36 is not intended to target prostitutes, says Justice Minister Peter MacKay, but it does prohibit them from selling their services in public spaces where minors could be present. And fair enough. Selling sex on the corner by a elementary school seems a touch inappropriate, but the proposed law’s wording would make it illegal to sell anywhere a person under the age of 18 could be present – a tad broad. It also makes it illegal to advertise “sexual services” – print or online. Within these boundaries selling sex would be deemed legal, but not purchasing it. MacKay maintains the proposed changes would crack down on pimps and johns, but it could only serve to push prostitution further into dark alleys and hidden corners. After the horror of Robert Pickton and the claim that forcing sex trade workers out of sight helped him butcher 49 women one would hope Canadian lawmakers would learn from past mistakes and work to correct them. For those sex trade workers who advertise online (and many do) this law would only work to remove the screening process in place to aid in their safety. For street workers it will only serve to further place in them in harm’s way. The occupation of selling sex is not going to go away. What needs to happen here is a focus on longterm programs to help those remove themselves from the industry. Childcare and rising the minimum wage would also serve to help those struggling to pay bills and put food on the table – in the meantime Canada’s lawmakers would be wise to look into full decriminalization. –Autumn MacDonald, Observer
Gas: the other pipeline showdown T
he prospect of piping diluted heavy oil across northern B.C. and loading it in tankers has generated significant genuine protests, as well as bursts of celebrity nonsense, rent-a-stunts and instant online petitions. Natural gas pipelines and export terminals, on the other hand, are generally accepted by the public. Premier Christy Clark staked her political future on developing liquefied natural gas exports, and pulled off an upset election win that not even Clark expected. Most of the heat she’s taken on that is focused on her extravagant predictions that LNG will pay off the debt and maybe even get rid of our sales tax. But as I predicted 18 months ago, there’s a shift in the target of professional protesters to natural gas. A reminder of that awaited me on a morning walk to the B.C. legislature during the last week of the May session. At the front gate stood a young woman in a bikini top and shorts, her skin smeared with a dark material, presumably to simulate crude oil. She

Views waved to passing traffic, stretching a banner promoting a website for the “Unist’ot’en camp.” Legislature security intervened to clear the entry walkway before I could ask the protester who was paying her. The fundraising website she was promoting hadn’t been updated since March, but this isn’t the first time this camp has been promoted here. Chevron’s Burnaby oil refinery was also targeted May 30 by protesters who locked themselves to a gate with bicycle locks and chains. They also cited the Unist’ot’en camp and their aim to stop the Pacific Trails pipeline. The camp came to my attention last summer, when it was promoted by one of Victoria’s chronic anarchist protesters, a woman who goes by the name Zoe Blunt. Blunt and
with slick banners and posturing protesters. Renouf follows the money as well as the familiar faces who pop up at protest after protest. In April he reported that the increasingly militant Council of Canadians is supporting the Unist’ot’en camp, along with what he describes as “a host of NGOs, unions, militant anarchists and professional protesters.” They include Harsha Walia, who organized violent protests against the 2010 Vancouver Olympics. Meanwhile in the real world, TransCanada Corp. announced last week its subsidiary NovaGas Transmission has signed an agreement with Chevron and Apache for a gas pipeline that will connect to Pacific Trails. It’s one of four gas pipelines TransCanada has in development for what is planned to be the biggest industrial investment in B.C. history. They can smear it with oil, but gas is the protest industry’s latest target. Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press. Email: tfletcher@blackpress. ca.

other southern protesters documented their trip north to support the camp’s stated goal, to stop the Pacific Trails gas pipeline, planned to supply the ChevronApache liquefied natural gas terminal near Kitimat. The camp is on Crown land near Smithers. It was established at the end of a one-lane bridge by two members of the Wet’suwet’en First Nation. While that community’s elected council maintains a respectful relationship with the B.C. government, the splinter group that backs the camp has confrontation in mind. The Unist’ot’en website is a jumble of demands and claims that alternates between the Pacific Trails gas pipeline and Enbridge’s Northern Gateway proposal. Like the woman at the legislature, if you want it to be against oil, it’s against oil.

VOTE!
Editor: Here we go again. What is the flavour of the day this time? Never in all my years of being involved, have I heard so many politics being played out. Good Grief, let’s work together for a positive outcome. Will the No’s win and set us back another five, six or even seven years? I hope not. Will we say goodbye to approximately $7.7 million? There is a very good chance that could happen. Will the funding partners continue to wait for us to decide what we are doing? I’m not so sure they will. In my opinion if this doesn’t pass there won’t be another referendum for years. Do you really think politician’s go to referendum for their health? Do they want a shrine dedicated to themselves, I don’t think so. It is because they believe this is what people want. I, for one, do not want to continue having this discussion for years to come. It has been too long already. We have known for years the “Barn” will have to be replaced. As far back as the 1988 referendum, when Arena 2 was built we knew the day would come. Decision day has arrived, June 14 to be exact. Every volunteer does so to make Quesnel a better place to live. A vibrant community has a sense of belonging, coming together, involvement, social interactions, support, physical structures and resources. What is to be gained by thinking that anything that is built or wanted is for personal benefit? Did I personally need the College, of course not, yet I am reminded time and again of how much it was needed and what a difference it has made to so many. What about Alex Fraser Park, the Arts Center and Pool, the senior’s center or Correlieu track? It is pride in sharing and belonging that matters. If we hadn’t had Alex Fraser Park would the RCMP musical ride have come to Quesnel? Have you ever attended a grad ceremony in the Arena? I have, talk about heat, imagine a new arena and grad. Awesome! What about other events? The arena is not just for hockey and figure skating, what about lacrosse, there’s so many uses and there can and will be many more. Without community support would we have these facilities? Each facility makes our community a better place to live, work and play. These facilities are what a business looks for when considering whether to relocate. Over the past few weeks I have heard time again people say now is the time – there is only one way for that to happen, you can’t just talk about. Remember, June 14, vote! Mary Glassford Quesnel

Voters need to say yes to replacing Arena 1 Editor: Arena replacement? Its about time! Think of the hundreds of hockey players who, over the last 15 – 20 years have had to suck it up (i.e. embarrassment) when out-of-town teams laugh at and insult/make fun of this old derelict thing that we call arena rink 1. That arena is so far down the scale that the City/CRD cannot even get all types of insurance coverage on it. As well, when Ques-
nel Minor Hockey has requested twice in the last few years to host the Provincials (top 10 teams in B.C.) we have been told no. Part of the rating/scoring that is done to decide what city gets to host the next provincial tournament depends on the condition of the arenas and their facilities. (Note: provincial tournaments are a week long involving ten visiting teams plus their managers, coaches and any family of the players who can be there;
hence, the hosting city can expect approximately $200,000 to come into their community.) After 15 years (so far!) as a hockey gramma, I have thoroughly learned why Quensel needs two open-for-business arenas every winter. Before rink 2 was built (approximately 1990) even young children were expected to go to practice sessions at such times as 5 a.m. and teachers have told me that those same kids sometimes fell asleep in class. Quesnel has so many hockey
teams (from age 3 – 4 up to the Old Timers plus ringette, figure skating and public skating and each requires several weekly ice times to be scheduled; that’s tight with two arenas, impossible if we had only one. Arena replace? It is about time! Actually, we’re into overtime and we have a chance to get the winning goal to end this 20-year-long game. How? By voting yes in the June 14 referendum.

Family Fun Relay team work hard all year to raise money for the event, so far, over 13 years, they’ve raised more than $147K ANNIE GALLANT Observer Reporter
T
hirteen years ago, The Kopetski family were encouraged to put a team in the then Relay for a Friend fundraiser for the Canadian Cancer Society. Little did anyone realize just how successful that family team would become. In 2014, with this year’s $22,359.20, Family Fun hit $147,464.69 with their 13 years of fundraising efforts. “That first year, 2002, we were thrilled to raise $1,300,” Mary Ann Kopetski said. “And each year we’ve surpassed our previous year’s amount.” However, Mary Ann said at the end of each Relay event, the family goal for the following year is to donate just $1 more than the previous year. Back in the first year, Family Fun had 12 members, mostly family but with a few friends. The most team members was the year they had 15 team members. When asked if they did it in memory of anyone, Mary Ann said it wasn’t until 2009 when her brother-inlaw died from brain cancer that their efforts became personal. “Then we lost Uncle Eugene to cancer in 2011,” she said. “That was a blow. From then on we lost at least one a year, sometimes three in one year. “The team has changed somewhat since we lost mum, Uncle Aylmer and Uncle Eugene, they loved to be part of the team, but their enthusiasm lives on in us.” Family Fun covers two generations of Kopetski family
members with one brother, six sisters, a brother-in-law, three nephews, one niece and one cousin Mary Anne counted off. “We’ve been a stable team now for about 10 years,” she said. Almost before the current year’s Relay for Life ends, the Kopetski’s are back at fundraising for the next year. “They say you can continue to contribute after the event is over but we like to finish off one year, then begin the tallying for the next year. Their bottle and can drive in the Safeway parking lot are once a month from March to October and account for about half the team’s total.

to call regarding picking up bottles and cans. They also sell Christmas cookies, hold a bake sale in Spirit Square in the spring, have sucker pulls in West Park Mall, deliver Telus phone books and hold hot dog sales at Save-On Foods. This year, teams sold the Quesnel Bakery ginger snaps towards they own team total and Mary Ann said that was a great success. Family Fun sold $600 worth of cookies. And that’s how you raise more than $20,000. Each year Mary Ann has her fears they won’t reach their goal but admits, “then we do!” She credits the support and generosity of the community with helping them raise so much for such a worthwhile cause. “A big thank you to all our supporters,” she said. “It keeps us going.” If Mary Ann has any advice for other teams thinking about Relay for next year, she said start your fundraisers early. “It’s so much easier to raise the money than to ask for pledges,” she said. Also get your team registered as early as possible and set up an account for the money you raise. “Just start small and build your team,” she said. “Keep everyone enthusiastic and get together often as you work towards your goal.” “But most of all, plan to spend the entire day in LeBourdais Park on Relay day. Make it a fun day, have things to do and we find about 15 minute shifts are long enough, that’s about two or three times around the track.”

Gold Pan Grannies present Tina Filippino’s impressions from Africa ANNIE GALLANT Observer Reporter
T
ina Filippino saw first hand not only the devastation caused by the HIV/AIDS pandemic in Africa, she also witnessed the positive influence organizations like the Stephen Lewis Foundation (SLF) is having on the grassroots organizations working in the epicentre of the devastation in communities across Africa. Tens of millions of children in Africa have been orphaned due to HIV/AIDS. The Stephen Lewis Foundation supports community based organizations that provide food, school uniforms and fees, plus HIV testing and counselling. It helps to build homes and ensure that girls have an equal chance to attend school as well as learn how to protect themselves from the virus. It is inequality of the sexes that allows the pandemic to flourish. This is the generation that will lead Africa back to health and wholeness. As a member of the Glacier Grannies, Filippino was accepted on a recent tour with the SLF in Africa to see for herself the good work being done and the distance still needed to travel. Filippino is bringing her recollections, photographs and impressions of that trip to Quesnel June 15 for an evening of awareness and

Quesnel’s Gold Pan Grannies are excited to host this unique event and invites everyone in the community to listen and sing with Filippino.

Judith DesBrisay’s show Now and Then, a retrospective exhibit
ANNIE GALLANT Observer Reporter
There’s an ebb and flow to the current show at the Quesnel Art Gallery. Judith DesBrisay’s retrospective exhibit, Now and Then is a smattering of work over the artist’s last three decades depicting the creative influences which inspire her work. The work expresses bold, inventive images along side subtle, deeply introspective pieces all with common forms, manipulated in different ways. However, for DesBrisay, the work expresses how she processes the world around her, wherever that may be. “My works emerge from a fascination with the earth in all its forms,” she said. “They reference the vital interplay of person and place.” To truly gain an understanding of the
imagery, the viewer needs to begin a dialogue, if not with the artist, then with the work she has created. In every one of the 15 pieces there’s a message, some muted, some obvious. As the viewer wanders from canvas to canvas, they need to gauge first, their emotional reaction to each one. “Do I like it, does it say anything to me?” It’s then possible to dig a little deeper, analyze what is creating the emotion and consider the possible message from the artist. DesBrisay has traveled extensively in Canada’s High Arctic, South America and Antarctica. She feels trepidation for the future of the polar regions and consequentially for the planet. This is evident in her work. But her passion for her wilderness home near Quesnel is also
interest in the interconnectedness of person and place. Her works, whether contemplative or vigorous, weave a simple narrative. The first piece the viewer encounters upon entering the gallery is titled First Born. It embodies the shapes, textures, details and passion emanating from the artist, setting the tone for the viewer’s journey around the
room. The show, sponsored by Richbar Nursery and Dunkley Lumber, hangs in the Quesnel Art Gallery until June 28. Gallery hours are Tuesday – Saturday, 10 a.m. – 4 p.m. “Change is constant in my life and my works of art. If, now and then, viewers discern some of my passion in the midst of these changes, then my efforts will have been worthwhile.”

Some people seem to find trouble no mater what and that includes fictional characters like Zachary Beddoes, who first starred in Stan Krumm’s historical fiction Zachary’s Gold. Readers were introduced to a charismatic young man, one time Pinkerton lawman and full time adventurer. Beddoes left the Cariboo gold fields and a questionable past behind to begin a new life in Victoria in the 1870s. A wife, small son, extended in-law family and the proprietor of a small hotel, the newly invented Lincoln Zackary had hoped to put enough distance between him and his past. A brand new colourful cast of characters help narrate the story of Zachary’s Horses. A pivotal horse race, a young governess’, a blackmailer determined to expose Zachary’s past and the title character’s grim
“Those days are gone,” he said. Zachary’s Horses is published by one of B.C.’s largest fiction houses, Touchwood Editions. The distribution is throughout the Pacific Northwest. Now that Zachary’s Horses is finally in print, Krumm is happy with the finished book. “Everytime you finish a book you feel you’ve reached the top of your game, no more writing,” he said. “Then an idea comes along and before you know it, you’ve got 50 pages written.” Is there another Zachary story to be written? Krumm said he’s not sure but he has certainly considered several scenarios. “The possibility exists,” he said with a smile. However, Krumm has several ideas for other books. Zachary’s Horses is available at Caryall Books, other various local outlets and online at Amazon and other online book sellers.

Quesnel River Archers take aim and fire WHITNEY GRIFFITHS Observer reporter The Quesnel River Archers hosted a 3D outdoor competition May 24 – 25, shooting against participants from Prince George, Williams Lake, 150 Mile House and 100 Mile House. There were 100 archers at the two-day event. The archers walked the course twice on Saturday and once on Sunday, with 30 targets spaced out at set locations.
The objective was for archers to guess the unknown distance of the target to make a well placed shot, with their points determining the ranking in various categories. The Quesnel River Archers took charge of the competition, placing in many catrgories. In the women's division, Katie Wollen's aim helped her to win first place with a pee wee barebow. Shooting for first with a master barebow was

ith just under two weeks and six days Two passionate road cyclists and community minded individuals from Quesnel’s Amarjit Singh Sull (Archie) Quesnel Volunteer Firefighter/SD #28 Teacher and Rob Gardner Quesnel Cariboo Ford Service Manager will begin cycling from Quesnel to Whistler to Vancouver into B.C. Children's Hospital. Rob and Archie are pedalling for BC Children’s Hospital, namely Pediatrics/ Neurology/Epilepsy. By cycling they are providing hope for children and it's a positive opportunity to embrace and come together and learn how BC Children’s Hospital contributes to our community. BC Children’s Hospitals contributions have allowed more than 81,000 children to receive expert care every year, thus allowing the children to grow to their full potential. We are two passionate community minded individuals encouraging collaboration. We are looking for ways to reinforce the growth of society and link it back to the overall growth of our community. We have found that the best way to achieve this
Turn kitchen scraps into BLACK GOLD for your garden.
Cycling 530 understanding and growth is by organizing this more than 600km cycling ride, with the goal of increasing awareness of pediatrics, epilepsy and the work in neuroscience. We are both goal oriented individuals driven with a purpose that is similar to our major sponsor Cariboo Ford. Ford’s mission statement is based on the idea of “One Team, One Plan, One Goal.” As individuals, we are very excited to take on this challenge

of helping the more than 1,000 children admitted to the Pediatrics Intensive Care Unit at BC Children’s Hospital every year. Children’s Hospital is a very special place for Amarjit and Balj Sull. Their daughter Jaden has been treated there by the wonderful staff for her epilepsy and seizures. "The love and passion that the volunteers bring everyday, all the way to the paid staff gets me emotional every time I think or hear of Children’s.” We want to show everybody our dreams. We want to be the positive influence in peoples lives. We look around at everybody everyday and say to ourselves,
“because of you, we are not giving up.”
Facts for Quesnel about BC Children's
BCCHF had 221 unique individual patients from Quesnel who were inpatients or visited surgical daycare, the emergency room, ambulatory care, outpatients clinics and diagnostic/ therapeutic services during 2013. "If you can get a child to smile through their tears, it's as if time stops and nothing else matters in that moment.” The biggest goal we have cycling for BC Children's Hospital is making a difference in a child's life.

Trade connects us. Following Live Presentations: June 14, 16, 17 & 18. Jared and workers like him are building the Port of Prince Rupert’s Road, Rail, and Utility Corridor. Once the two-year construction project is complete, our gateway will move more cargo to overseas markets. That means jobs and prosperity for people in northern BC. Our terminals may be located in Prince Rupert, but we’re building connections clear across Canada - and the globe. Learn more about the value of trade at www.rupertport.com/connections
