But first, let me take a selfie AUTUMN MacDONALD Observer Reporter Love the Farmer’s Market? Prove it with a self shot of yourself enjoying your favourite aspect of fresh, farmed and local. The BC Association of Farmers’ Markets launched its BC-wide It Feels Better at the Farmers’ Market campaign and Farmers’ Market Selfie contest, in efforts to raise public awareness andentice market ‘newbies’ to discover Farmers’ Markets. So far, eight Gold Pan City market lovers have
submitted their selfie, with voting available online until July 21 on their Facebook page, search: BC Farmers Markets. “Over the last several years, we’ve seen a 62 per cent increase in the number of markets in B.C.” Executive Director at the BC Association of Farmers’ Markets Elizabeth Quinn said. “There’s no doubt people are becoming increasingly passionate about buying local, inseason food and locally produced goods. With this campaign, we want to build on this grow-

ing enthusiasm in BC by reaching out to those who might not know that the markets offer much more than food – they offer an experience that feels amazing.” Across B.C., there are more than 125 farmers’ markets. In addition to locally grown food and locally made products, the markets offer a surprising variety of community activities such as live music, children’s activities, cooking classes, artisan workshops and much more. It’s not uncommon in the Gold Pan City to see
hula hoop lessons, artisans perfecting their craft, and children playing in the free Hullabaloo Hut. “Our family loves the Quesnel Farmers’ Market. It is part of our weekend ritual of stuff to do in Quesnel,” contest entrant April Webb said. “The kids noticed one of the contest fliers at the market on the weekend and we went around snapping ‘selfies’ to submit. “The farmers and crafters of Quesnel are fantastic – thank you to all of those producers and dedicated people for making

the market amazing - our family and hundreds of others greatly appreciate all your hard work.” A few other market favourites from Gold Pan entrants: Chelsea: “Fresh local produce, friendly people, and home made treasures! If you go, you’re bound to have a good time and find something great.” Sonya: “We love the live music, fresh produce, handmade crafts and jewelry! And love the perogies and bannock.” “British Columbians go to a farmers’ market to enjoy the high quality
foods produced in their communities, and for the conversations and relationships they can have with people who grow our food,” B.C. Minister of Agriculture Norm Letnick said. “Farmers’ markets have a unique and festive atmosphere, and I look forward to seeing the creative ways British Columbians capture and share their experiences through this contest.” Winners receive a Bernardin home canning kit and a $50 market voucher. By voting you can also win a market coucher.

Barkerville stakes its Canadian claim Thanks to financial support from the Department of Canadian Heritage’s Building Communities through Arts and Heritage Legacy Fund, as well as a donation from the Friends of Barkerville and Cariboo Historical Society, Barkerville Historic Town cut the ribbon on a newly restored outdoor exhibit: The Canadian Claim and Gunn Hydraulic Pit. The exhibit, which highlights the gold mining efforts of two separate placer operations, the Canadian claim (a typical 1860s cabin and shaft set-up for underground diggings) and the Gunn pit (a later-century hydraulic process involving long pipes and large water
monitors for blasting surface gravels through sluice boxes) was originally built by the Friends of Barkerville in the early-1980s. After nearly 30 years of wear and tear, including wintertime snowfalls averaging 25 feet per season, Barkerville realized it was time to bring a fresh focus to the display. In 2012, during the National Historic Site’s 150th anniversary year, the Barkerville Heritage Trust partnered with the Friends of Barkerville and Cariboo Goldfields Historical Society to begin restoration work on the Canadian Claim and Gunn Hydraulic Pit. Soon afterwards the Department of Canadian Heritage and
its Building Communities through Arts and Heritage Legacy Fund was onboard and two years later the fully-restored and improved exhibit officially opened on Dominion Day (or, Canada Day) in 2014. “As we approach Canada’s 150th birthday in 2017, our Government wants Canadians to be able to explore and learn about their history, as well as the important events— like British Columbia’s Cariboo gold rush – that have shaped it,” Minister of Canadian Heritage and Official Languages Shelly Glover SAID. “That is why we are pleased to have supported the restoration of Barkerville’s Canadian Claim, which will give
residents and visitors a chance to explore the region’s mining heritage.” The Canadian Claim and Gunn Hydraulic Pit exhibit in Barkerville is open for interactive viewing throughout the heritage site’s regular operating season. In addition to the cabin and shaft display and hydraulic mining set-up, there is also a series of interconnected viewing platforms, complete with interpretive signage, placed strategically along the hillside that allow visitors – through several flights of hand-hewn stairs – to experience Barkerville in an entirely new way: from overhead. “For me, one of the more exciting things
about our newly-restored exhibit is the opportunity to view the entire town of Barkerville from the top-down,” Barkerville’s Manager of Visitor Experiences James Douglas said. “It’s a glorious way to see the tremendous scope of our site from several different angles, and will no doubt be a boon for amateur photographers and any visitor who wants to see Barkerville in a whole new way.” For more information about The Canadian Claim and Gunn Hydraulic Pit, or any of Barkerville’s exhibits and displays, please contact Barkerville Historic Town at 1-888994-3332, or email barkerville@barkerville.ca.

Secondary suites Council defeated land use Bylaws 1734 and 1735 that would have seen secondary suites as a permitted use in any single detached dwelling within the city subject to a building permit authorizing their construction. For property owners this means the city will maintain its existing process requiring a spot zone amendment with a public hearing for considering a secondary suite. The proposed bylaws received significant objection during the public input process from neighbourhoods that permit single detached dwellings
only. Council requested that staff return with options, if any, for: 1) permitting secondary suites in new homes; two) permitting in zones that already permit higher densities than single detached dwellings (i.e. zones that permit duplex or multi-family units); and 3) stronger enforcement on illegal suites including safety issues and utility contribution.

Learning to trust again
This is a two-part series on Asia, the cadaver dog. Watch for the second part in an upcoming issue of the Observer. sia’s story is another version of the phoenix story, out of the ashes. But Asia suffered the pain of abuse. She is a gorgeous black shepherd with intense eyes and incredible intelligence but she had the misfortune of belonging to an owner who trained with violence. Asia learned many things quickly. She learned to lunge at strangers and attack other animals. One Halloween, just for fun, her owner dressed Asia in a ripped t-shirt with fake blood, attached her to a short chain and put her within feet of the walkway. She lunged at the children who came to trick or treat. Asia was scared and the children were petrified. This owner bragged about how many things her dog had killed. As well, if Asia drank too loudly, she was disciplined. Fearful to drink near her owner, she became dehydrated. She was kept in a crate most of the time so she could not get water when needed. Food was also

Crooked Leg Tails restricted so she was undernourished. Eventually, Asia was put into a boarding kennel. In the spring of 2008, a number of trainers met in Salmon Arm for a master trainer’s course. Asia and her owner were there. So was Willow. During the course, Asia was cooperative but she could not be near other dogs without a muzzle. She was missing part of one ear, she had scars on her face and her eyelid was torn. No one thought she could be trained for an active, productive life. The owner could not keep Asia so there were only two options – find a new home or euthanasia. The most likely place for her was in a junkyard. When Willow heard of the situation, she decided to take Asia for a walk to see if there was anything to work with. Down by the river, away from other dogs, Asia was let off leash.
Surprisingly, she found a stick and dropped it at Willow’s feet, wanting to play. They played fetch for quite a while. Asia seemed to be asking for a second chance so, at the end of the course, she moved to Quesnel. When near other dogs, Asia’s aggression was always just beneath the surface and would emerge without warning. Willow believes that the former owner tried to erase the “fear” indicators. Most dogs use their ears, hackles, tail or growl when fearful. Asia had none of these so she couldn’t give warning before striking. Coupled with this, Asia pulled back every time a hand came towards her,
expecting to be hit. Willow had to start from the beginning with basic commands to ease Asia out of the fear of pain. It took months before Asia began to show trust. This dog did not know about affection so when she moved towards a hand, instead of away from it, there was a celebration. With patience, she finally relaxed enough to express enjoyment when being touched. Once the negative connections were replaced with positive ones, Asia showed a desire to work. Sifting through the choices, Willow chose cadaver training and the pair went to Maple Ridge for a month long course Asia already had a strong search sense

so they used a ball as the reward after a positive alert. Asia learned to respond to cadaver scents that came from extracted teeth or tissue with blood. She was also exposed to pseudo scents, fake cadavers, as well as to chicken and deer but Asia rightly ignored all of them. Asia’ intelligence was praised. Even though she was still fearful when near people or other dogs, she was better able to deal with that fear But, when on a job, her intense focus had her weaving through people and places fearlessly – find that scent!

Who is MMBC?
t our last meeting of the Committee of the Whole on June 30, Multi-Material British Columbia, or MMBC, made a presentation on the curbside recycling coming to Quesnel in September. The design of this delivery is new to Quesnel and warrants some further explanation or perhaps information. I would like to explain briefly who MMBC is, where they came from and most importantly, what the service means to Quesnel residents and how the service will be delivered. Who they are and where they came from MMBC is a not-forprofit agency formed under the BC Society Act to develop a stewardship plan to Mary Sjostrrom satisfy the requirements MAYOR’S MESSAGE of the BC Recycling Regulation for packaging and printed paper producers (PPP). MMBC is the latest in over 20 stewardship agencies in B.C. that already manage materials such as paint, tires and electronics. Service to Quesnel residents MMBC has selected Emterra Environmental as the contractor who will deliver the service to our residents. Two new blue boxes will be delivered to curbside homes in advance of September 1, which is the official launch date. A recycling guide explaining what to recycle in each box and the schedule for pickup will accompany those boxes. It will also include other details concerning MMBC’s recycling program. Basically, materials will be separated into two streams - containers and paper products. The lists are rather lengthy so I encourage residents to visit MMBC’s website at www. recyclinginbc.ca. Residents should be receiving a flyer in their mail in the next couple of weeks and delivery of the blue boxes will start mid-July. MMBC has an extensive communications program which is scheduled to begin around the beginning of August. They are currently working to develop a mobile application for residents to download to their smartphones. This application features collection calendars and reminders for residents with curbside collections, as well as easy-to-use search tools to learn how and where to recycle materials. Again, I encourage residents to visit MMBC’s website, www.recyclinginbc.ca which provides information on what is and what is not accepted for recycling and what happens to collected packaging and printed paper. 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.

OPINIONS
Sad sign of times
t’s a sad state of affairs when comforting a student with a hug or a hand on a shoulder could land yourself on the unemployment line. But calling an Asian student “ching chong” or suggesting female students stand in the hallways to attract male students to class is wrong on so many levels. And yet both are being considered as “inappropriate behaviour” and calling for action. Absolutely the racial slur and the highly inappropriate, and downright icky, suggestion of luring male classmates deserves swift and decisive action. Suspension without pay, a formal apology and even some kind of seminar on behaving like a decent human being all seem acceptable. In another instance a teacher was reprimanded for grabbing a student’s face and blowing in it (weird). This was not his first offence, previously it was reported he allegedly dumped a student out of his chair. He went on record stating it was a joking “hockey fight.” In October 2011 he broke a metre stick over another student’s back, also reportedly done “jokingly”. Now the list of alleged offences from both teachers deserve attention, investigation and action. But to include “hugging and placing hands on shoulders” of students into the mix of “offences” is a sad sign of our times. I have had many a teacher offer a hug in comfort and I gladly accepted. They were not just my instructor they were a confident and it was with a sense of safety and trust that I went to them during tough times. Now teachers are afraid to place a comforting hand upon a shoulder in fear of reprimand and social stigma. It’s ridiculous and highly unfortunate. While many maintain there must be a blanket-type ruling on teacher and student interaction, common sense and decency should prevail. –Autumn MacDonald, Observer

hen I was a kid and people asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up my answer was: a lawyer, a police officer or a hairdresser. There’s no chance I’ll enter any of those fields now, but a few decades after I was first asked the question, I’ve kind of become the latter. Well, for dogs anyway. My dogs. How it happened was an accident. I’d taken my 30 lb. cockapoos, Lola and Charlie, for an early muddy hike in the woods and was giving them a bath when I noticed a ton of prickly burrs stuck to their bellies and legs. I tried removing them while the dogs were in the tub, but there were too many. After they’d dried off I tried brushing the spiky seedpods off their fur, but their fur had grown
Lori Welbourne
On A Brighter Note too much and it was like extracting gum out of a tangled head of hair. Grabbing the scissors, I carefully cut out all the burrs from Charlie’s fur and thoroughly brushed him as he laid on the kitchen floor enjoying the attention. After that I got scissor-happy. Over an hour later I was still on the floor filling up empty ice cream pails with his fluffy locks and having a blast as I did it. “What are you doing?” my 11-year-old daughter asked when she woke up. “Giving the dogs a haircut,” I replied, letting go
was an option. I probably didn’t think they’d stay still for me and they would end up looking terrible. If I’d known it would be such a fun experience and that they’d still look cute, I would have cut their hair all along and saved some money. Lola and Charlie turn five-years-old in September and my daughter thinks we should throw them a birthday party and dye their fur the color of a rainbow. I’ve seen pups with brightly colored hairdos and it can look adorable, but colored hair spray is as far as I’ll go. Call me boring, but I like our dogs to look like dogs. I like them to act like dogs as well, but I wouldn’t mind if they stopped rolling around in the mud for a day. It’s not easy being a dog groomer you know. Lori Welbourne is a syndicated columnist.

of Charlie and starting in on Lola. “We should give some of that hair to Dad,” she said. “For his empty spot.” It might be a little too white and curly for Paul’s head, but it was a thoughtful suggestion. Charlie’s sister Lola enjoyed the grooming as well, and except for having to get close to the skin near the matted hairs, I felt relaxed about the process. I decided to buy some proper nail and fur clippers for next time. The dogs didn’t look quite as pretty as when they come home from the dog groomers with sweet little bows in their hair, but for two dogs who like to roll around in the dirt and jump in the creek every chance they get, my amateurish services were just fine. I’m not sure why it never occurred to me that grooming them myself

Aboriginal title doesn’t ‘lock in’ communal ownership Editor: Just some clarifications regarding Tom Fletcher’s column, Life after the Tsilhqot’in decision (B.C. Views, July 2). 1. Federal and provincial authority may vary with the strength of an aboriginal title claim, as Fletcher contends, in the sense that the obligation to consult and accommodate is

proportional to the strength of the claim. But this is not so once aboriginal title has been proved in court (as the Tsilhqot’in have done.) Once such title is established it is no longer a matter of a “claim” and the aboriginal owners must consent to any development proposal respecting their land –
unless the government supporting such a development meets the stringent constitutional test for limiting aboriginal rights and title in the absence of consent. 2. A finding of aboriginal title does not necessarily “lock in” communal ownership. Just as treaty First Nations may agree to convert land to fee
simple title, aboriginal title holders may agree to surrender land to the federal Crown on the condition that it be reconveyed to them for the purpose of conversion to fee simple. I suspect that obtaining such agreement is no easier in the former scenario that the latter, but it may be. 3. The Tsilhqot’in had
a long history of keeping others out and were the only First Nation that was hostile even to the fur trade. But they did not fight a war in the 1860s to defend their territory from a “wave of gold seekers.” They expelled everyone. In 1864, after being threatened by the foreman of a crew building a
wagon road through their territory – he had warned darkly of bringing back the small pox that had killed at least one third of their population two years earlier – they killed nearly all the crew and then killed or expelled all white settlers from their territory.

Playing the cards you’re dealth with Pam Robertson with her sister Val Bergeron. Annie Gallant photo
ANNIE GALLANT Observer Reporter
T
his is the second of a two-part series on organ transplant from a Northern B.C. perspective – a first hand account of two sisters in Quesnel on the transplant wait list. Pam Robertson, her sister Val Bergeron and brother Terry Robertson will all need a heart transplant. They suffer from Familial Dialated Cardiomyopathy. Never knowing they all shared this disease, the family watched their dad die in 1995 when his heart just stopped. Although all the classic cardiomyopathy signs were there, it didn’t trigger any suspicions for the rest of the family. In 1998, Pam went to see the family doctor for a suspected kidney problem. Because of her symptoms her doctor sent Pam for cardio testing.
He suspected it might relate to her having meningitis in 1992. She was diagnosed with cardiomyopathy but again the rest of the family wasn’t tested. She was told at the time she’d be facing transplantation in 5 – 10 years “I felt it was a death sentence,” Pam said. She and her husband were devastated. They traveled to St. Paul’s Hospital in Vancouver where she was matched with a transplant coordinator. “I always have the feeling I’m waiting for someone to die,” she said. The whole family was impacted by Pam’s prognosis. She went on medications and monitoring. For sister Val, her diagnosis came in 2002 at the age of 50. Suffering from neck pain and nausea, she also suspected a kidney infection (kidney disease is rampant in the family)
and was also retaining a lot of fluids. A nursing friend suggested congestive heart failure and demanded Val see her doctor. He sent her immediately for x-rays where her enlarged heart was discovered. After returning with the damning x-rays, Val was immediately admitted to the intensive care unit. “I was dumbfounded,” Pam said. “Val was grey and we found out heart function was around 11 per cent. It was because of all the fluid retention.” In the spring of 2003, the sisters, along with brother Terry saw a cardiologist at St. Paul’s Hospital where Terry was also diagnosed with cardiomyopathy and is monitored regularly by the hospital’s heart function clinic. With other heart problems which predated the cardiomyopathy diagnosis, in 2006 Terry was the first to have a
defibrillator implanted. Val received her defibrillator implant in 2007 and Pam in 2011. Walking to St. Paul’s heart clinic in 2009, Val felt her heart racing and then the machine starting shocking her. With the defibrillator it will shock the person five times and fortunately for Val it worked. Brother Terry has had his defibrillator kick in three times and needed the full five tries each time to get his heart going again. For Val, her condition has continued to deteriorate. In 2009, she was informed she was out of options and must go on the transplant list. In 2011 she had a new stateof-the-art defibrillator and pace maker implanted. She stabilized and her transplant file went to the doormant file, however in November 2012 she became very sick, was sent back to St. Paul’s and in February 2013 she had
to undergo open heart surgery to repair leaky values. “We damn near lost her,” Pam said. “It was six days of not knowing if she’d make it.” Val said St. Paul’s Hospital is amazing. “The doctors and nurses are so caring and everybody knows your name,” she said. After surgery, Val rocketed to the top of the transplant list, in July 2013 she was put on pager which meant she carried it with her at all times and once she gets the call it’s get to St. Paul’s as soon as possible. In October 2013 Val was the top of all transplant lists in Canada. For Val, every day her bags are packed and it’s another possible transplant day. Should her beeper go off, Val is to immediately contact Pam and her transplant coordinator at B.C. Transplant Society. She books her flight and
gets to the closest airport. A heart can only be out of the body for four hours. In the meantime, Val doesn’t commit to anything and everything is “if I’m available.” “Everything needs to have a plan B,” she said. Pam desperately wants Val to get her new heart but Val is much more stoic about things. “There’s always someone worse off than yourself and you just have to play the cards you’re dealt.” Watching Val, both Pam and Terry know they are on the same slippery slope. But possibly the most tragic part of this tale is Pam and Terry both have daughters with cardiomyopathy. “Hopefully when the young girls are older, medicine will be better and they’ll have a better outcome,” Pam said. “But for Val, Terry and I the likelihood of growing old isn’t great.”
Lots of early greens, baking, meats and crafts available.

The story often reflects the reality S
ome of us remember her, but nowadays, she has really and truly fallen out of both memory and favor. As the story goes, she wormed her way into the heart of the chronically ill, the orphan, the heartbroken – indeed the whole town. I speak of that blondhaired, blue-eyed little girl of Disney fame, Pollyanna. As kids, we hardly recognized that she was homeless and essentially alone, not a happy state of affairs. Of course, she existed in that happy place of “the movie screen,” and none of us went to sleep wondering
how she had survived so long. But those of us who love the world of fiction, know that “story” so often reflects reality in ways that could not be expressed in any better way than through the world of make-believe. What I would like to remember about the story of Pollyanna is not the unrealistic portrayal of always-clean streets and mostly-clean people. I want to remember the portrayal of possibility, the recognition that people – regardless of circumstances – have the power to choose their response to their lot. Matthew tells us the story of a rich man who “went away sad.”
This young man came to Jesus, asking how he could earn heaven (Matt. 19:1622). Jesus directs him to obeying the commandments, but the young man wants to know “which ones?” (Reminds me of children trying to figure out just how much they don’t have to do!) And Jesus’ reply reveals how far off the mark the young man’s understanding of obedience was: You mean I need to give away my stuff?!! He had said he wanted heaven, but his apparent preference was for his life here. So here we have a story of someone who seems to have it all, yet “goes away sad.”
And Mr. Disney gives us a story of someone who seems to have “nothing,” yet teaches everyone to play the “glad game.” What do we make of it? The French novelist, Colette, put things in right perspective, I think: “What a wonderful life I’ve had! I only wish I’d realized it sooner.” We can choose every day to recognize and revel in the good things in our lives – and everyone has something, if not several “somethings”. Take that power into your own hands today: . . .” for the happy heart, life is a continual feast.” (Prov. 15:15) Peggy Corbett is pastor of Seventh-Day.

2014 MESSAGE FROM THE SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS
Congratulations to the Graduates of 2014!
To the Graduates of Correlieu Secondary And McNaughton Centre
On behalf of the Quesnel School District, I offer my congratulations to all our 2014 graduates. You have achieved an important milestone in your life. As you plan your future it is important to continue your learning – training and education are critical to your future success. Thank you to your families for the encouragement and support they have provided; and to your teachers, much gratitude for their excellent instruction.
Wishing you great success in whatever you do! “Every accomplishment starts with the decision to try.” School District No. 28 (Quesnel)
Sue-Ellen Miller Superintendent of Schools
Principal Mike Adams’ message
Good evening honoured guests, Members of the Board of Education, District Administration, parents and family and …most importantly good evening to the Correlieu graduates of 2014. My name is Michael Adams and I have the privilege of being principal of our great high school Correlieu Secondary. It is my honour to stand before community of Quesnel to espouse the merits of this graduating class. Most people think that this will be the class I remember because the last graduating class I will have the pleasure to work with. Please understand that they will be the class I remember because of who they are, their character, their perseverance, their achievements, their
intelligence and their amazing sense of humanity. It is the goal of our public education system to raise our youth up to be able to contribute to our prosperous, democratic and egalitarian society, where we all can live in peace, with respect, and as equals. The graduating class of 2014 is such a group of students. Our aboriginal medicine wheel is built on 4 quadrants. These quadrants define the 4 key ideals of human growth and development – mastery, independence, belonging and generosity. I wish to describe this class in terms of these ideals. Mastery is the ability to learn, develop skills, problem solve and be able to fend for oneself, care fend
ones family and look after ones community. The achievements of this class are second to none. We have more students who have achieved a Grade Point Average (GPA) of 90% or greater than any class I can remember. We had more students demonstrating excellence in non-academic fields such as the trades, computer technology, performing and visual arts, community service and volunteerism, athletics, and languages than ever before. This is a class that has truly committed to and demonstrated Mastery. Independence is the ability to take ones place in the world. After observing these students over the last 3 years I feel assured that they are ready to begin the next step in their journey. They are ready to become the masters of their own destiny. They are independent thinkers capable of leading and guiding our world to greater things. Our future is bright due to the
talents, aspirations and attitudes of this class Generosity is the ability to recognize the needs of others and to share freely of one’s self with both material support and the spirit of humanity for others. Here, too, this class has been exemplary. They have supported those less fortunate within both the local community and the global community. They have raised money and goods for the local shelters as well and international disasters such as the typhoon in the Philippines. But their generosity goes beyond the material support. This group of students is generous every day with a smile, a kind word or a good deed. They are a remarkable group. A sense of belonging is paramount to ones self esteem and overall wellness. This class has proven itself to be kind, considerate, respectful. They are accepting of each other, friendly, and caring. The tone they have modelled and
established for Correlieu Secondary is incredibly wonderful. As the result of their leadership you can sense the peace and happiness within the school. This class truly has made Correlieu Secondary “A Place Where Friends Meet” As Vice-Principal Cullinane and I say every day, we would put this graduating class against any graduating class in any school anywhere in the world and we know they measure up and be rated FIRST CLASS Now a message to
our grads: You have heard me espouse your many amazing qualities. But I offer you a challenge. Do not let your high school graduation be the greatest moment of your life - you are only one fifth done in your journey. High school should not define you as it is only the readiness stage for taking your first step into the adult world. Remain committed to your growth and development in the areas of Mastery, Independence, belonging, and Generosity. Ensure
yours is a life well lived for you, your family, your community and our entire planet. Lastly, you inspire me. Your family and community shares your graduation and honours your achievements to date. Celebrate your successes, but most important to me, your family and and to your entire community is that you remain safe. Please look after yourself, and your friends as you celebrate your well-deserved graduation.

Congratulations Nicole,
From pre-school to Graduation Life has just begun for you. Good Luck, remember to be true to yourself, follow your heart, and be the best you can be!
283 graduates sit in front of us today, waiting to walk on this stage for an important moment of pride and dignity. We wouldn’t be here today without the support from everyone around us. Parents, guardians, teachers, siblings, family, friends, principals, adults from the community. We want to thank you all for leading us to this moment, through the good times, the bad times, and everything in between.
Love Mom, Matt, Jared and Joel

So this is it! It’s hard to believe that we are finally at this moment, closing one chapter of our lives and opening another. We have been looking forward to this day since kindergarten, and now we are here, our graduation. All of this work, time and effort for what? A piece of paper and a hand shake? Sort of, but not exactly. All of these years set us up for our future. We may not realize but every little lesson we have learned, every mistake we have made, every problem we have run into, has brought us to who we are today. They have all taught us something and made us stronger.

Now, just like any high school student clueless of what to talk about today, I google searched “Valedictorian Speeches,” and of course came across what NOT to say in my speech. One idea to avoid talking about is cliches. I understand this to a certain extent because I know we hear them all the time, but there is one that I feel is so important and we don’t hear it enough. As a student in grade 12, everyone expects you to know what you want to do with your life, and if you don’t, people will start suggesting careers that THEY think you would be good at. You listen to them because you aren’t sure of what you want to do, or that you are too afraid to admit what you really want to do. Now I don’t think that’s right. I know that every single one of you sitting in front of me right now has a dream. You have that one dream that you hold onto inside and don’t want to share because it’s too precious and you don’t want anyone tearing it down. You think that people will doubt you and laugh that you actually think you could do it. So we fall into the trap of going into a career that sounds pretty good to us and “hopefully” we will enjoy it. We push ourselves away from that dream because we don’t believe that we can do it, or because we’re scared of failing. It’s your life! Do what YOU want to do with it. True happiness is very important, so why not make your dream reality and be happy doing what you really want to do? It may be hard, but it will be worth it. The only one stopping you is yourself. Now that we’re moving on from high school, we won’t have to deal with the awkward moment of accidentally calling our teacher “mom.” We won’t be shocked by seeing our teachers in public and realizing that they actually have lives too. We also may be able to go somewhere without hearing people chant “Boesem Boesem Boesem..”
Lots of love from Mom and Dad

“Little girls with dreams become women with vision.” Your independence, strong and beautiful spirit, your determination, zeal and kind heart have helped you achieve your goals and dreams. Congratulations on your graduation and for being accepted into the Baccalaureate Nursing Program. We are so very proud of you!
We have been comforted and held safely for the past 13 years of school, and now is our time to adventure, try new things, find out who we really are! Our future is full of blank pages, waiting to be written on. So write your story the way you have always imagined it to be. There is a whole world of opportunities, and anything can happen. Be ready, be excited, and most importantly enjoy yourselves.
Congratulations to the Graduating Class of Two-Thousand and Fourteen. We made it!

Congratulations Sarah Powell We are so proud of your achievements. You are an amazing young woman Who has a very bright future ahead of you. Take the time, to enjoy your success but remember the best is yet to come.
We had a recent death and sadly someone who should be graduating with us today isn’t. I know many of the people in this building were affected by the loss of Gage Wilson, including many of the graduate students. You all pushed through the pain though and made it here today. I know that Gage is proud. Even though we are moving on with our lives, we all have some memories to look back on. There is that time you could of gotten in trouble for, but you got away with. Then there is that time you DID get in trouble for, and (hopefully) learned a lesson from. There is that embarrassing moment that you really, really want to forget, and there’s that memory where you finally get the nerves to say just a couple words to that person you’ve been crushing on for years! And they say something back and oh my gosh it’s the best moment of your life! Aaanddd then you never speak to them again… (pause) No matter what your memories are, be sure to take them with you, but do not let them stand in the way of who you will become. We do not want to be stuck in the past, but instead we should just cherish the important moments as we trek through the rest of this crazy adventure we call life.

Stay “Nitrate Free”
reservatives are used to increase the life of foods by controlling the growth of undesirable moulds, yeast and bacteria in food that can cause spoilage and illnesses. Most food is processed and packaged to stop it from going bad. These foods tend to be high in fat, sugar and calories. Eating too much processed food can lead to weight gain and other health problems. Processed meat generally refers to meat preserved by curing, smoking or salting, or by the addition of preservatives. Examples of processed meats are ham, bacon, pastrami, salami, hot dogs and sausages. Processed meats are often high in fat and salt. Fish
can also be preserved with salting, smoking or adding preservatives. Curing and smoking has been used for thousands of years to preserve foods like meat and fish. Some of these foods may be cured using nitrates. Meats and fish may also be smoked. Smoking exposes meat or fish to the smoke of a wood or charcoal fire. The foods

Both of these smart, charming dramas are rich with the history of the Cariboo area and warmly brought to life by the compelling performances of Douglas and Boucher.

absorb large amounts of the tar that comes off the smoke. These tars may contain cancer-causing compounds. The foods mentioned above may contain nitrates to act as a preservative and add colour to the meat. Sodium nitrates keep certain meats looking tasty and red but may be linked to cancer. In the body, this chemical can be changed into byproducts called N-Nitros compounds and is associated with an increased risk of cancer. My piece of advice: stay clear of cured and processed meats and look for the label “Nitrate Free.” Ivana Topic is a volunteer with Canadian Cancer Society Quesnel office.

Top five tips for travelling this summer
1. Pack for all types of weather – No matter where you’re travelling, weather can always change. Remember that different countries can have vast and different temperature dynamics. A country like Australia actually gets colder during the summer time since it’s farther from the sun.
2. Find peace in crowds – Travelling in the summer means peak travel time. If you’re part of the 78 per cent of Canadians who find loud travellers to be frustrating while vacationing, packing a hand-held device and earphones or ear plugs will help to keep your mind off the
complaining passengers. 3. Ensure you’re covered for mishaps – 80 per cent of Canadians cite lost or delayed luggage as one of the most frustrating things to happen while on vacation and 78 per cent have been frustrated by cancelled or delayed flights. Although most believe the airline
will reimburse you, it’s typically not the case. Purchasing travel insurance can give you peace of mind and help cover you for trip delay and baggage loss/delay. 4. Avoid peak travel times – Know the peak travel times for your destination. For travelling out of the country, not
only will weekday flights be more affordable, they’ll also be quieter. If you’re interested in visiting a specific country, check to see if they have any large scale festivals and plan away from that timeframe so you don’t deal with an abundance of tourists. 5. Simplify your vacation
– Simplifying your vacation is one of the easiest steps to take to destress. Know what you’re able to do in a day and plan accordingly. When creating an itinerary don’t over-schedule too many activities in one day or you’ll end up needing a vacation from your vacation.

An experience to remember W Day five
ell here we are in and what a rush it was getting down into Pemberton. We climbed 2,600 metres today. I must say I was having an excellent climbing day. My legs and breathing were synched and I was going up Duffy Lake with confidence. Slow and steady and patient was the key as my legs kept turning. Cycling turning point highlight number one for me today was getting to the steepest climb on Duffy and a BMW motorcycle pulls up and waits, then this man in his British accent begins asking about our cycling event. He had been cycling all over B.C. He was so excited and reached into his pouch donated $6. Then away he went and away I went climbing. Up and down we went through the Duffy seeing some of the best scenery imaginable. Our schedule break was one hour or 20km, unfortunately it was getting cold

and windy. I kept pedalling for 30km and waited for Rob and dad. Rob and I rode together for the next 70km. Working together to beat the wind and ice cold snow/ rain, eventually with 33km remaining and massive descent coming into Pemberton we had to put our jackets on. Rain and wind were our companions as we raced downhill hitting some tight switchbacks. Cycling turning point number two came at Woods Restaurant where we spoke with the waiter about our cycling event and he shared a story about his nephew being in Children’s. Cycling turning point number three was in our hotel where I met a gentleman from Sechelt/Gibsons, he shared a story of his nephew having leukiemea and a

Well here we are in Whistler. Thank You Delta Whistler for your ongoing support of Cycling 530 and BC Children's Hospital. Out first climb out of Pemberton we both agreed that our legs were feeling sluggish. Climbing for the first 10km was not power climbing it was rather slow and steady. Our plan was to average 15km an hour as Whistler was 32km away but all up hill. After a few sharp switchback turns we found our groove and yes it began raining again. We had a quiet ride allowing each other to absorb the beauty of our surroundings and think about the fact what we are one day away from accomplishing our goal. Despite the rain we carried on. The highlight other than Rob getting a new tube was taking a

It was a great honour to have close family make the drive to Whistler to cheer us on as we made our way in. We enjoyed each other's company and had great conversation. When Bill proceeded to give me a hug as they were leaving I had to hold back my tears. Bill is my older cousin and since I was a kid he was one I really idolized and wanted to be like and here he was thanking
me for being a role model. Something I learned from him. Then my high school friend Adrian White stopped by as he was mountain biking in Whistler. Good to see old friends. Thank you Everyone for the positive vibes. We’re almost there. Quesnel Cycling is Rob Gardner and Armajit (Archie) Sull. They are riding to Whistler this summer to raise funds for the B.C. Children’s hospital. Links • Twitter: @ quesnelcycling • Instagram: quesnelcycling • YouTube: QuesnelCycling • Facebook: https://m. facebook.com/ QuesnelCycle

July 13 - July 19, 2014 ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20 Be honest with yourself, Aries. Sometimes change can be a good thing, so take a few days to sort through all of your options. You will be glad you did. TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, you may have to be clever to solve a particular problem this week. It will be challenging, but you are up to the task and your efforts will be their own reward. GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, spend some time thinking about what you want rather than what others want for you. You may discover significant differences between the two, but do what makes you happy. CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, it may take some time to get back on your feet after a stumble, but you will get there much faster if you ask a few friends for support. You know the people who have your back. LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, very little can disappoint you or affect your mood. Enjoy the responsibility-free week with a free spirit. This is a great time for a vacation. VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 Think through all of your options before you act, Virgo. While something may seem like a good idea at first, careful thought may reveal some bumps in the road. LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23 Work hard to earn a promotion at work, Libra. While you may need to take on more responsibility and work longer hours, the payoff will be well worth it. SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, if you feel you are at a crossroads, take your time to make the best possible decision. This is a significant moment for you, and it requires focus and forethought. SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, supporting a family member who deserves it has you riding high this week. This support may be emotional in nature or even financial support if you can manage. CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, family activities are getting in the way of business prospects, and vice versa. You may need to make a difficult decision in the near future. AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, think through the pros and cons of speaking your mind at work. Your opinions are valid, but you run the risk of alienating certain people, and that should not be taken lightly. PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20 Approach a problem that’s been puzzling you from a different perspective, Pisces. This new way of looking at things makes all the difference.

Terrace North Coast Nightmares rolled into Quesnel June 28 to face off against the Gold Pain City derby girls. For results see next weeks Observer. The roller derby takes over the arena again during Billy Barker Day weekend, with the Gold Pain City girls facing off against the Kamloops Tournament City Wreckers for Quesnel’s fourth annual Gold Rush Rumble July 18, 6:30 p.m. Clockwise from top left: the derby girls are ready to roll; a Gold Pain City member is pushed aside as the teams rush by; derby girls round their first corner hoping to take the lead; it was a hard fall for these two derby girls; and it was a quick recovery for this Gold Pain City girl quickly getting to her feet after being knocked down.

It’s a week of hardwork but for these determined dancers its a week well spent. Clockwise from top left: Gold Pan City dancers work on form well aware that practice makes perfect; guest instructor Morgan McQueen is there to help the younger dance students as they perform routines; and guest instructor Alyssa Bergeson helps this dancer with her form. Whitney Griffiths photo
Dancing the week away Several of the Gold Pan City Dance students attended a week long summer class. The class included two guest instructor coming in from Vancouver, the talented Alyssa Bergeson the current director of Dance Xpressions and accomplished dancer Morgan McQueen. This summer session included a number of different training routines for various dance styles such as ballet, jazz, contemporary and hip-hop. The sessions also gave dancers the opportunity to work on choreography. “The kids never get to do this much dance throughout the day, they have four and a half hours,” Gold City Dance instructor Jesse Herman said. “It’s a really intense program and the instructors are extremely professional. For these dancers in our little community to have this opportunity is really special to me.” Gold Pan City Dance offers dance classes for three-year-
olds to adults with registration for the new season of dance
beginning Aug. 25. For information follow Gold Pan City

Big new bike weighs in light
‘‘

Drives-U-Crazy Lack of turn signals Reader Pat Mulligan complains that the lack of turn signal use is an epidemic. “Recently, I did a trip from Kelowna to Vancouver and kept track of people failing to signal . . . it happened 50 times!” What drives-u-crazy? kmorgan@blackpress.ca
logging over 200 kilometres, the rear end does feel a little sleepy! General ergonomics are good, though I would have brought the handlebars a little closer to my body. They’re not a stretch for me, but something that would have made the ride more comfortable. I also would have liked a little more “grab” in the front and rear brakes. It seemed like I really had to bite hard into the front brake to get it to slow down. The logic behind that is that new riders are less likely to get in trouble in an event where they are nervous and get a little jumpy. Lastly, fit and finish of the bike could have been neater. Wires were exposed, and it took away from the overall aesthetic. That said the bike does have character to it. The 2015 Street 750 from Harley-Davidson has many good things going for it. And with it tipping the scale at just 222 kg (489 lbs.) – in running order – looks like Christmas comes early. Pricing will be announced closer to the release date. Visit http://www.harley-davidson.ca for more information on the bike. alexandra.straub@drivewaybc.ca PLEASE READ THE FINE PRINT: Offers valid until July 31, 2014.

AUSTIN, TX. – I can’t think of a better time to learn how to ride or a harder time to ride. These juxtaposing thoughts can be explained thusly. There are so many great choices for new riders when it comes to machinery it’s hard to make a decision on what to add to your garage. The Harley 750 But the variety also means doesn’t carry some there are bikes to suit all. Those wanting to get on of the bulk people sportbikes don’t need to might associate start on a 250 or 300 cc, with the brand. It’s let alone a 600 cc variant. like losing all the You can get a 125 cc. Or when it comes to cruisers, weight you put on during the Christmas you don’t have to start on a machine that might be a holiday! little on the heavy side. You can get a competent road Alexandra Straub partner, which looks cool and doesn’t weigh south of 250 kilos. Enter the 2015 Harley-Davidson Street 750. 222 kilos, soaking wet. Hitting streets later this year, it’s the first new bike the American motorcycle maker has concocted from scratch in the last 11 years. The last all-new bike was the V-Rod. And with a blank canvas, Harley could start from the ground up, listen to the voices of the customer and translate that into a cruiser that is tailored to urban riding. On the streets of Austin, Texas, a group of international media had the opportunity to take the new machinery for a test drive. While the majority of the route takes us on long, sweeping stretches of country roads, the Street 750 really shines in slow speed environments. Why does it thrive in an urban setting? – For many reasons, the first being that Harley wanted to create a bike for the city rider. A bike that has a low-revving yet silky smooth engine and transmission, a low seat height, a favourable suspension – for all the potholes and road imperfections one might encounter –and is a bike on which variety of riders can feel comfortable. Let’s start with its all-new engine. The Street 750 is matched with a liquid-cooled – yes, liquid! - 749 cc, 60-degree, which gives ample acceleration when you need it, particularly when you’re accelerating from a standstill. Not only that, it doesn’t spew unwanted heat towards the rider when they’re idling. And if you’re like me, and wear full gear even on hot, summer days, you’re incredibly grateful for that. Furthermore, it’s paired to a 6-speed transmission. Normally, stop-go traffic on a Harley would be a pain. However, it wasn’t with the 750. It’s the easiest and lightest clutch I’ve worked with on any of the American motorcycle manufacturer’s bikes. Speaking of low seat height, it measures in at 709mm (27.9-inches.) Thanks to a narrow and lean chassis, as well as a narrow seat you can feel your feet. being planted even better because you’re not losing your touchdown ability. The Harley 750 doesn’t carry some of the bulk people might associate with the brand. It’s like losing all the weight you put on during the Christmas holiday! It just feels good. When it comes to the 750’s suspension, it’s not jarring and pleasantly soft. Not so soft, that it puts you to sleep, but a good balance of urban comfort mixed with open road riding pleasure. Up front, the 37mm telescopic forks and rear twin tubular externally mounted shocks absorb the bumps in the road and leave the rider feeling fine. However, after a day of

1978 Pontiac Trans AM. 1965 Pontiac GTO.
The five cars baby boomers miss the most Baby boomers are in full nostalgia mode as they contemplate their lost youth. And as the last generation that really bought into North America’s love affair with the automobile, it’s natural that some of that nostalgia is of Even though the four-wheeled variety. Here are five of the cars that baby woefully outdated, boomers miss the most: the MGB had little to Pontiac GTO: It’s still hard for Widetrack fans to believe no competition and that the entire division is no could have gone on more. It was a virtual tossup almost indefinitely. between Nos. 1 and 2 as to the most missed car, but with Rob Sass the 50th anniversary of the GTO (and arguably the muscle car itself) coming up, it has to be the Goat. Not the Australian Holden-in-disguise that we got from 2004-06, mind you, but the real 1964-72 bit of classic American muscle. Pontiac Trans Am: With Pontiac and therefore the Firebird gone, it’s reasonably certain that the famous T/A, with surely the most audacious hood decal, is gone for good (at least from GM). For people who just can’t accept that, performance car genius Ken Lingenfelter will sell you a fantastic Trans Am-inspired Camaro LTA.

Chevrolet El Camino: The half-car, half-pickup concept had real legs, lasting from the 1950s through the 1980s. It deserves another shot but GM seems to disagree, having on multiple occasions stubbornly refused to bring back the beloved El Camino. MGB: MG was the sports car Americans loved first, with servicemen bringing back MG TCs after WWII. When it was introduced in 1962, few could have imagined that the MGB would be the last new MG sold in the U.S. Nonetheless, that’s how it played out. In 1980, with the British auto industry in a free fall, the quaint factory in Abingdon, England, was closed, and that was it for MGs in the U.S. A shame; even though woefully outdated, the MGB had little to no competition and could have gone on almost indefinitely, or at least until 1989, when the Mazda Miata was introduced. Those of a certain age still miss the little MGB on sunny days. Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser station wagon: Nearly every boomer has a story about the Vista Cruiser, whether it’s a road trip from hell or just getting shuttled to school or Cub Scouts or Brownies in one. The Vista Cruiser, with its unique windows on the roof and the back, backseat where misbehaving siblings could be banished, was the official wagon of the wonder years for so many boomers.
