Councillor questions City Hall pay increases AUTUMN MacDONALD Observer Reporter

After being informed of “hefty” pay increases to some city employees paycheques, Coun. Sushil Thapar is questioning the reasoning. “Why now?” he asked. “Is it because there’s an election coming?” Thapar pointed to several senior level management positions and quoted increases of close to $40,000 in the last six years. “That’s insane,” Thapar said, adding he requested 2008 City of Quesnel pay levels. “We don’t have the money [for that kind of increase].” However, city manager Byron Johnson said the increases are in line with other municipalities and in accordance with succession planning and employee retainment. “Our goal is to have a program of succession planning. This means we make every attempt to find great candidates from within our organization that can be trained and developed for further promotion,” he said, adding as employees develop in their posi-

tion through training and time, their level of pay increases. “We continually look at what other comparable communities pay their employees, if we don’t pay at a competitive levels we risk losing good people in whom we have invested time and money,” Johnson said. “We have internal benchmarks that we also apply, for example a director level position, this is the next level down from city manager, starts at $90,000 per year.” But Thapar maintains the level of pay is too rich for the corporation and the increases “too much.” “Councillor Thapar is certainly entitled to his opinion regarding our staff and pay levels,” Mayor Mary Sjostrom said. “The City of Quesnel, like most local governments, compare our levels with communities of similar size at least annually and we have always done that as a city. In order to maintain all our employees we have to be competitive working within our budget. “We try to be fair and equitable in order to keep a good qualified work force.” See Wednesday’s Observer for follow-up.

Check credentials before admittance

Ice bucket challenge Observer publisher Tracey Roberts was one of four local business people to accept the Ice Bucket Challenge on Wednesday, Aug. 21 which has been sweeping North America as a fundraiser and awareness project for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS – also known as Lou Gehrig’s Disease). She was deluged with a garbage can of ice cold water by Fraser River GM staff Shaun Arscott, left and Jeff Sandve, right. Fraser River GM is donating $500 to ALS.

Quesnel RCMP are investigating a suspicious occurrence in which a male who claimed to be an employee of the City of Quesnel attended a residence and asked to examine the furnace. The homeowner provided entry to the male who then performed some work on the furnace and advised that he required payment and that he may return to conduct follow up work at a later date. The male suspect is described as a Caucasian male with dark, possibly tanned skin, approximately 35 – 40-yearsold, with dark hair. He was

carrying a bright red hand bag. Quesnel RCMP are asking the public to be vigilant in confirming the identity of anyone they permit into their home. As a homeowner, you are encouraged to ask for identification from anyone who seeks entry into your home. Demand to see formal identification and confirm legitimacy prior to permitting anyone into your residence. City of Quesnel employees operate marked City of Quesnel vehicles and do not inspect furnaces. They generally attend private homes only after

being called by the homeowner. Furthermore, their employees carry identification and do not demand payment on site but rather obtain mailing information so an invoice can be sent from City Hall. Residents are encouraged to report suspicious activity such as this to RCMP immediately. Be sure to provide a description of the person, any associated vehicle and a direction of travel. Anyone with any information regarding this attempted fraud is asked to call the RCMP at 250-9929211.

We want our schools open: Trustee Association With the regular school year slated to start in less than two weeks the Quesnel Board of Education says it’s committed to working with all parties in hopes of ending the labour dispute. The following is a release by the BC School Trustees Association (BCSTA): The position of the boards of education across the province is clear – we want our schools open for students Sept. 2, 2014. BCSTA is deeply concerned about the impact of the continuing bargaining impasse on students, families, staff and the reputation of B.C.’s public education system. Therefore we are: • Calling on provincial government and the BCTF to

implement the recommendation in our Back to School Action Plan. • Urging Education Minister Fassbender and BCTF president Jim Iker to continue bargaining. • Speaking out loudly and clearly on television, radio, social media and newspapers throughout the province. • Requesting that our trustee representatives at the bargaining table actively work towards a negotiated settlement that recognizes a fair wage increase for teachers, addresses class size and composition and continues to provide needed flexibility for boards of education. • Advocating that the savings accrued by the provincial government be put towards

improvements to class size and composition. • Urging the BCTF and the ministry of education to work towards a settlement that falls within the provincial government’s economic mandate. • Ensuring that trustees are informed and heard through regional conference calls and updates. • Working to develop a new co-governance relationship between locally-elected boards of education and the provincial government to ensure improved collaboration and consultation. • Advocating for improvements to the provincial bargaining structure as outlined in the BCSTA’s bargaining structure task force report.

Major changes coming to local government elections The 2014 local government election will see major changes from previously held elections. There are two new pieces of legislation, the Local Government Campaign Financing Act and the Local Elections Statutes Amendments Act, that will implement changes to election campaign financing, election advertising and term of office, for the 2014 Local Government Elections. The Local Government Campaign Financing Act, states that Elections BC will now oversee significant changes to local elections campaign financing and election advertising. Elections BC will manage campaign financing disclosure requirements, investigations and enforcement of campaign financing and election advertising provisions. In 2014, election advertising has undergone significant changes such as what is the definition of advertising, inclusion of third-party sponsors and all election advertising

The aura of power

lison Redford resigned her seat as an Alberta MLA last Tuesday. She may be taking the Alberta Progressive Conservatives out the door with her – polls show that the party is in rough shape, just two years after Redford took it to an historic victory, in an election where the PCs had been behind in the polls. Alberta is booming. The oil business is strong, and there are plenty of jobs available. Taxes are low and housing prices are lower than here. The PCs are long in the tooth – they have been in office since 1971, under six different premiers. They have benefited from the Alberta preference of keeping one party in power for long stretches of time, until the public eventually tires of them. The PCs are now in year 43. The reason Redford resigned as premier in March, and now as MLA, was her spending habits. She used government aircraft for personal and party business, and it has recently come out that her staff would book fictional passengers so that she didn’t have to share the private jets with anyone– that is, her own MLAs. She took arrogance and entitlement to a new level, one rarely seen anywhere else in Canada. Auditor-General Merwan Saher wrote “How could this have happened? The answer is the aura of power around Premier Redford and her office and the perception that the influence of the office should not be questioned.” That phrase sums up the way most governments in Canada operate. –Black Press

The search for the shoe that fits L

ast week I was almost on time getting my 14-yearold son to his first day of basketball camp. Actually, I surprisingly succeeded in that task – he just didn’t start until an hour after it began. According to the list provided on the camp’s website, there was a lot for us to find that morning: his basketball, a skipping rope, a water bottle, a snack, a tennis ball (for some odd reason), and his high top sneakers. I know I could have made things easier by having him collect everything the night before, but that would have made too much sense. Instead, we waited until the very last minute to scramble around the house looking for all the items. Somehow, despite me waking him up later than I should have, he managed to eat, shower, and help me gather up the stuff in record time. The traffic was slow, and my panicked detour to get gas didn’t help my level of self-induced stress, but amazingly, we pulled up to the school with five minutes to spare. As I was patting

On A Brighter Note myself on the back and breathing a sigh of relief as he entered the school, I told my excited 11-year-old daughter and her friend who were sitting in the back seat that I could now drive them to gymnastics. Unfortunately, we were about to be delayed. “I have a problem,” my son said, returning to the car holding up his red basketball shoes. “One of these doesn’t fit.” “Why wouldn’t it fit?” I asked. “Because that one’s mine,” Daisy answered, pointing to the much smaller shoe in his left hand. “Sam’s a bozo.” Since he had traveled in just his socks, there was only one thing to do: drive all the way home to get his other shoe. “Can we go to the store and get some new ones?”

have put one of your shoes and one of Sam’s shoes in there thinking they were a pair,” I replied, wearily. “Oh,” she said and paused for a few seconds before saying anything else. “Well, they do look a lot alike.” I grabbed Sam’s regular sneakers and drove back downtown. Unimpressed with what we brought back, Sam listened as I explained to him what happened with the donation mix-up. “Seriously? You gave away one of my expensive basketball shoes?” he asked Daisy. “I guess that makes you the bozo.” He made do with his regular runners for the rest of the week and on the night of his very last day at camp I found his other red sneaker in the back of the same hall closet I’d previously checked. Relieved, I presented the kids with both of Sam’s size 10 high tops and happily declared myself the true bozo of the family. No one disagreed. Lori Welbourne is a syndicated columnist.

he asked, eager to warm up with the other kids. “It will save time.” “We could if I wanted to spend another $150 on a pair of basketball shoes you already own,” I said, irritated. “I’ll be back in an hour.” Our drive home was aggravating. The slow-poke summer traffic seemed even worse this time, probably because I was in a hurry and was with two loud Energizer bunnies who had to sit still a lot longer than they bargained for. After the half hour trip home, we pulled into the driveway and quickly ran in to retrieve the right-sized shoe. We looked all over, but it was nowhere to be found. We couldn’t find Daisy’s other one either. “Oh no,” I said, looking at my daughter who had a confused expression on her face. “You put your basketball shoes in the donation bag, didn’t you?” “Yes,” she replied. “I dropped that off at the Salvation Army a few days ago,” I groaned. “And?” she asked. “That means you must

Governments must control themselves

Editor: Re: B.C. back in black, deep in debt (B.C. Views, July 23). Tom Fletcher’s column on B.C.’s operating budget and debt touches on a balance that must be examined. Some capital investments are made to reduce operating costs – some of the new building costs at Royal Jubilee Hospital does that, for example. Some improve reliability – the earthquake resistant fire hall in View Royal for

Letters to the Editor

example. Some add capacity – sometimes to meet demand, sometimes “just because.” In your household there is a limit based on income. Similarly in business, borrowing has to be paid back – companies often get into financial trouble from debt, such as the dysfunctional Pacific Western Airlines in its expanded life as Canadian Airlines. Politicians do pay some attention because credit rating agency

evaluations increase cost of borrowing. Occasionally one reforms, as the profligate Bob Rae did in Ontario after getting the province into financial trouble. Provincial politicians tend to be profligate in spending, including on grandiose projects – Ontario being a current example of huge projects and mis-managed deals that will burden Ontario taxpayers for decades. And the rest of us, because of the federal

government’s crazy system of transfer payments that rescue the foolish. Every election they try to buy votes by promising the unaffordable. Governments must cut activities. The B.C. government has not addressed barriers to employment created by its quotas in agriculture and transportation, for example. It continues to spend on handouts to moochers, including companies that won’t invest in their own capability by training

employees. And on public relations, as if most voters believe much of it. At the same time, government must protect against initiation of force. The NDP added an additional cost barrier to individuals seeing justice – court costs. The B.C. Liberals have not handled criminals and mentally ill people well and we can expect from their history of excusing behaviour that the NDP will not when they gain power again.

Voters in B.C. have an opportunity to reduce operational spending by insisting on cutting activities such as interference with honest people’s attempt to build and earn, endless reports, and fancy flower beds. I advocate the savings be put into the reason for government – protecting individuals against initiation of force, which at the municipal level is by policing. Keith Sketchley Saanich

Join the fall harvest at Cottonwood House As summer blends into autumn, farmers’ thoughts turn to the harvest and that is true of Bill Edwards at Cottonwood House. This weekend he will be harvesting the crops he’s planted on the historic farm just 20 minutes from Quesnel out the Barkerville Highway and the public is invited to witness the tried and true, Victorian and Edwardian harvesting techniques which Edwards employs. Together with his team of horses and period-correct implements, visitors can witness the cutting, mowing and raking of the field crops including oats, fall rye, fescue, timothy and mixed grasses along with field peas. Edwards will also be plowing, discing, harrowing and preparing seed beds for next year’s crops. Visitors can also experience, first hand, the cutting of the oat crop. They can try their hand at bundling the sheaves and creating a stook, the traditional preparation of the crop for threshing. “This is the first time in 33 years crops have been harvested at Cottonwood House,” Edwards said. “In the three years I’ve been heirloom farming, this year we produced two and half tons of hay

per acre.” One of his goals is to teach people how to farm with horses, a lost trade in many places but still alive at Cottonwood House. With his wealth of experience and expertise in working with horses, Edwards is perfectly suited to such a endeavour. Heirloom field crop seeds will also be available for sale.

However, the twoday event will include much more than the harvest. On Saturday, a barbecue lunch will be available 12 – 1 p.m. and tours of the main house as well as the museum are regularly scheduled all day long. In the evening, for $25 a person, there will be a barbecue steak dinner and

western music from 6 – 7 p.m. On Sunday, begin the day with a Sunday breakfast from 8 – 9 a.m. and an antique yard sale, again with house and museum tours throughout the day. With summer winding down Cottonwood House will close its doors for the season, Aug. 31 with approximately

10,000 visitors having passed through the gate this year. So for the final event of the season, take in the harvest and plan a visit to Cottonwood House where history comes to life.

wild man that Shakespeare’s play evokes. Smart, dark and savagely funny, Hamilton takes us on a journey that runs the emotional gamut and leaves you breathless. Hamilton’s writing style is beautifully lyrical and worthy of Shakespeare; the script is a delight to the ears as well as the mind. The Sunset Theatre is proud to showcase this bold and exciting contemporary piece. The Sunset Theatre encourages theatre enthusiasts to take in this unique and powerful show. Kaliban runs Aug. 21 – Aug. 23 at 8 p.m. nightly. Tickets are $12 and can be purchased at the door an hour before show time. For more information about this or other productions this season, please visit www.sunset-theatre. com.

This week The Sunset Theatre, located on historic Pooley Street in the artistic district of Wells, is thrilled to present Kaliban – a bold, original work by local playwright and performer Andrew Hamilton. Garnering exceptional reviews as a Fringe festival hit across the country, Hamilton’s “ferocious and feral” performance and powerfully funny, poignant script make Kaliban an unforgettable one man show that is absolutely not to be missed. The play follows William Shakespeare’s mythic creature Caliban as he wanders the world in the centuries after The Tempest ends. Alone in the modern world, he climbs into a career in the military – Hamilton captures perfectly the same conflicting sympathy and revulsion for this spooky,

Local guider soaks up the 2014 Spirit of Adventure Rendezvous ANNIE GALLANT Observer Reporter

ebbie Fee has been a devoted leader with Girl Guides of Canada for many years. However one experience was not open to her as her focus in the organization was with the younger members, Sparks and Brownies. Stepping up to a leadership role with the older Girl Guides level allowed Fee to apply for the Spirit of Adventure Rendezvous (SOAR), a week-long provincial back-to-basics outdoor camp sponsored by the BC Council of Girl Guides of Canada for girls between the ages of 11 – 18. SOAR is held every three years at locations around the province providing Girl Guides, Pathfinders and Rangers an opportunity to see various parts of B.C. This year, 2,500 girls and 250 core staff gathered in Enderby’s Riverside Park, July 16 – 28, including attendees from Quesnel as well as from across Canada and around the world. Fee was honoured to be chosen to attend and was assigned to the public relations team where her excellent camera skills were put to good use. The park was very well organized with more than 650 tents for the girls, accommodation for the core staff, program area marquees, food distribution tents and the two well-used municipal buildings on the grounds. Fee spent most days recording the beehive of activities the girls participated in including some off-site events as well. Each day core staff ensured every girl was fed, active and safe in all they did. However, one of the most impressive aspects to SOAR 2014 was the incredibly warm welcome the community of Enderby extended to the massive gathering. “They had store windows painted, banners, they helped us prepare a fabulous scavenger hunt for the girls which helped them learn about the history of the community, provided security fencing, waterlines to the five separate camps and during our parade every resident lined the streets, they loved us,” she said. Enderby residents went one step further to help the temporary tent city residents when three successive thunderstorms blew through the camp in just one day. As the girls and staff took shelter in the municipal buildings on site, pounding rain, on and off all day, soaked the camp. “The next day, more than 100 local firefighters and Enderby and Armstrong residents showed up, collected everyone’s sleeping bags and clothes, took them away, dried them and returned them later that day and everyone’s sleeping bag included goodies and notes of encouragement, it was amazing,” Fee said. By the time closing ceremonies rolled around, SOAR 2014 was declared another resounding success with hugs all around as participants boarded buses to return home, vowing to return in three years.

SOAR 2014 Clockwise from top left: Riverside Park in Enderby became a Girl Guide encampment; opening ceremonies began the weeklong provincial event; one of two groups from Quesnel; girls enjoying one of the many lakes in the area; another group from Quesnel; Debbie Fee was part of the public relations team.

Lifestyles WOMEN’S FALL CHALLENGE

Event has grown to include more than 600 women

his is the 21st year. Who would have known, all those years ago, that a genial autumn run with friends would turn into a proud and thriving entity? It all began in the fall of 1994, when a group of ladies enjoyed a run amidst colourful Dragon Lake scenery. Lunch was enjoyed by all as they discussed ideas for the following year. In 1995, more women joined the group and a fun awards celebration was held. As word got out, even more ladies joined to make the push to create age categories and varying distances. Imagine the excitement, for the original few, on the year that they actually reached 100 participants. In 1998, realizing that a delightful walk or jog along the lake shore could generate much enthusiasm and a potential for fund raising, the group sought sponsors and chose to donate the profits to the GR Baker Memorial Hospital Mammography Unit. That year, a modest $60 was turned over but this small offering seemed to

spur on organizers and participants alike. Participation topped 500 in 2005 and stayed in that range for a few years. In 2009, the Fall Challenge boasted 673 runners and walkers. Since then, you can expect 600 or more ladies to don their runners, water up, tuck in gloves, consider a scarf or toque and head for the Dragon Lake Boat Launch on the first Sunday in October. Beyond the spectacular participants, you will find an army of volunteers. The organizing committee begins their preparations in the spring by planning a new colour and design for t-shirts and by approaching the ever so generous businesses that support our community. On the day before and the day of the event, another flock of helpers who will shepherd you through registration, man water stations along the route or ride bikes to ensure the well-being of all who partake. This is celebration year 21 and we are still having fun. This year, we would like to exceed 800 pairs of feet crossing that start line.

Cottonwood House - 1st Annual Fall Harvest August 23 - 24, 2014

Saturday - Heirloom Farming plowing, discing, mowing and raking - BBQ Lunch - 12 to 1pm - House and Museum Tours - BBQ Dinner and Western Music - 6 to 7pm $25 per person Sunday - Breakfast - 8 to 9am - Antique Yard Sale - 1 to 4pm

Come out as a family. Get your co-workers involved. Talk your club or group into joining the excitement. I am going to recruit as many Dragon Lake Paddlers as I can while my grandniece is going to persuade Crooked Leg Ranch ladies to give it a try. We want to celebrate the groups that power our city and hope you will be there to share the energy. Who can you invite to get involved? What about paying for a friend’s entry as a gift, just like Lesley has done for Lesli? Don’t let another year go by without encouraging a girlfriend to go for a walk, enjoy the luncheon and support a cause that ensures all benefits remain in our community. For more information, visit www.qwfc.wordpress.com where you will find specific details, links and the entry form. – submitted by Liz-Anne Eyford

BB Days float honours Japanese festival

atsuri is Japanese word for festival. Matsuri is derived from the verb meaning to attend or to entertain. Japan is a reserved culture, but the Japanese people also like festivals and parties. Summer in Japan is one huge party. For this festival, many lanterns are strung up together. The lanterns usually have lights and are used at night in Japan to help decorate the streets and walkways for their festival. This summer festival spans two days starting on Saturday on the first weekend of August. Kitakyshu City, on the southern Island of Kyushu, holds the largest festival. It was first held in 1973 to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the creation of their city. A junior chamber international c0orporation held the event called Kitakyushu Matsuri. Then for the 25th anniversary of the city, the current Wasshoi Hyakuman Matsuri was started. “Wasshoi” is the shout made by the parade participants when they run

down the streets. A song by Hatsune Miku was made to celebrate Natsu Matsuri. Check on line at YouTube. On average in Japan 1.5 million people attend the event every year. In May the QSTS formed a committee, to plan this year’s theme for our float for the Billy Barker parade. One of our Japanese members on the committee Junko Lacy helped come up with our theme, “Natsu Matsuri.” This festival in Japan uses lanterns, so our committee decided to make 40 lanterns by hand. Along with lanterns they also made origami with different shapes, such as frogs, cranes and miniature kimonos. The origami was sewn together as hanging strings and tied in between the lanterns. To display these decorations bamboo poles were used to hold the hanging origami and lanterns. For many years, Quesnel Shiraoi Twinning Society members have worked on a float for the Billy Barker Parade. We want to thank each group, organization or people who takes the time

to enter the parade and keep this tradition going. The trailer that has been used for QSTS belongs to Bob and Marie Skinner for the Billy Barker parade for about the 18 years. Bob kindly lets us continue to use the trailer for Billy Barker parade. This year the trailer was in need of repair, so plywood was purchased, a new deck constructed by a few of our committee, Harry and Sue Smith and Bob Graham. Now, hopefully this trailer will be used for many more years to come. Phil Demers also spent time getting the Tori gate painted, ready to be used for the float and as well as getting the licence plate and papers for the trailer from Bob. This year on Saturday July 19 to our delight as we passed on the parade route, we saw many citizens of Quesnel, sometimes 10 deep on the lawns and streets. And it was noticed by many that a tremendous amount of people come out to help celebrate the four days of Billy Barker festivities. Thanks to all

who help pull this together.

In the photo of our Shiraoi Twinning float we had two Shiraoi Twinning members, Junko Lacy and Ryoko Hosaka dressed in kimonos sitting on a front bench and also dressed in Japanese yukata were 10 students, the majority who will be going to Shiraoi, Hokkaido, Japan with our twinning delegation in July 2015. We want to thank the City Works Yard for allowing some of us to decorate our floats under the protection of their roof. – submitted by Diane Graham

Stand-up paddle-boarding is a hit in Quesnel The world’s fastestgrowing water sport is making waves locally. Originally used as a way to travel further distances in the ocean without getting as fatigued as one would while paddling with one’s arms and lying prone on a board, paddling while standing up may seem inefficient, unstable or silly to people who haven’t yet tried the sport. Once you try it, you may fall in love with stand-up paddle-boarding (SUP.) The ancient Polynesians used long paddles on

their surfboards to steer and travel across the sea, but the sport experienced a modern resurgence in 2005 when Californian surfers brought back the paddle. Quesnel water-lovers have been turned onto SUP for several years. The perfect balance between quiet water travel, great views and taking a portable swim platform along for the trip are some of the things people love about it. SUP also offers a great core workout, giving paddlers a nice crunch

with every paddle-stroke and the continuous need to engage all of those important balance muscles that give us good posture and keep our muscles long and strong. The Cariboo is an ideal environment for SUP, with lots of pretty lakes, mellow rivers and little other traffic on the water. On any summer evening, you will encounter people SUPing on Dragon and Ten Mile Lake, but many paddlers also travel a bit further to explore wilderness lakes such as Bowron, Ghost and Cariboo Lakes.

When choosing your new board, there are two types to be aware of. Displacement boards tend to be thicker, more tapered and are usually 12 – 14 feet long. These boards glide through the water efficiently, quietly and much faster. The other style are allwater boards, and have a wider, more rounded tip. These are popular among those who want to go out for a gentle cruise or do yoga on the board. They tend to be slower and make more noise on the water, but are

a stable, easy way to get out on the water. Mellow paddlers love that if you get tired of paddling, you can lie down, swim or paddle while kneeling, and take your dog or kids along for the ride. We are fortunate in Quesnel to have a local SUP dealer, selling four of the top SUP brands: Coreban, BOGA, Kahuna and Starboard, along with all of the necessary accessories. Rocky Peak Adventure Gear is the only SUP dealer between Kamloops and Smithers in the north

and have been busy this summer, meeting customers on the shore with a selection of boards to let them choose which one has the right feel for them. With the hot, dry summer continuing, there is still lots of paddling season left in the Cariboo. Whether for fun, fitness or just to sunbathe on a lake, you have got to try it. Stop in at Rocky Peak Adventure Gear, 337 Reid Street Quesnel to check out the new boards. –Submitted by Brenda Beatty

Quesnel’s Motocross Racer “Nickolet” holding onto first Williams Lake hosted a BCMA sanctioned event last weekend with a huge turn out from the Quesnel Racer’s. The weather always plays a big factor on the outdoor tracks and as mother nature would have it, Saturday looked promising with a few showers to keep the dust down, but then it began to pour. However, the race went on with racers from all over the province and from as far away as Alberta, from the ages of four on 50 cc bikes to more than 40 on 450’s. All levels of racer’s from Quesnel showed up to race in most of all the classes including the Ladies class. For #671, Jackson Nickolet, it was another big win, both Saturday and Sunday as he’s been following the circuit competing against some new competition from the south in the intermediate class. Nickolet rode clean and hard which paid off and had an awesome weekend. “This track is awesome, I just love it,” Nickolet said. Colton Shepherd, #82, also racing in the intermediate class took third place both Saturday and Sunday racing along side Nickolet. Quesnel’s newest and youngest racer, Kanyon Swaan, at the age of four, raced his very first motocross race on Sunday, with smiles from ear to ear as he crossed over the

finish line to get his checkered flag. Big brother, Blaise, also racing on a 50 cc, took a second place over all in his class. In the Ladies class, Kassey Morrison, age 14 moved up in the ranks since a beginner racer early in the season to take a second place trophy on Saturday, but ended up wiping out during a pass in her last moto, putting an end to her racing for the weekend. New rider, Kye Williams raced in Beginner MX3, making us all proud by taking a third place trophy, as well as Haiden Watson winning a second place trophy in School Boy, alongside his dad Brian Watson winning second in the Vet Masters. In the 85cc class, 12 – 16-year-olds, Spencer O’Flynn easily and confidently took the first place trophy. Dayne Cutrell raced in the Super Mini class and proudly took home third

place. This weekend, BCMA and the Peace River Motocross Association will host a combination of the two series in Chetwynd, with racers Nickolet, Shepherd and Cutrell competing once again to hold onto their titles. Aug. 30 – 31 will be a non-sanctioned event in Prince George for the B.C. Championship, sponsored by Printwerx for the Printwerx Cup Championship Title. Kamloops has officially had to cancel the last event for BCMA on Sept. 20 – 21, making Quesnel’s race on Sept. 6 – 7 the final sanctioned event for BCMA 2014. Here in our home town, for the first time ever, hosting three sanctioned events, bringing racer’s from all over the north and south to battle it out for all final points of the year. –Sumbitted by Gerri Shepherd

August 24 - 30, 2014 ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, exercise caution when expressing your needs. It can be difficult to stop when you are drumming up so much excitement. Now is not the time to take a risk. TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, you may have overextended yourself this week. You didn’t realize you had taken on so much until it was too late, but there is still time to backtrack. GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, committing to a daily routine can have a strong impact on your overall health. Consider tailoring a new routine for yourself, and you’ll reap the healthy rewards. CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 Take things slow with a budding relationship this week, Cancer. You don’t want to go too fast and find yourself in over your head. Let things develop gradually. LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, carefully consider any offer that seems too good to be true this week. While the person making the offer is not ill-intentioned, you still must exercise caution.

LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23 Err on the side of caution with regard to spending this week, Libra. You have to save up for a bigger purchase that’s on the horizon, so try to save as much as you can now. SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, only now do you realize how much you have on your plate. Think about postponing a getaway until your schedule is less packed and you can enjoy the trip even more. SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, turn work into play and things will move along that much more quickly. Split up the tasks at hand with a friend or colleague, and the week will fly by. CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, even though you don’t have much time for yourself, you feel compelled to spend more time with others. Make some time for yourself as well. AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, you secretly enjoy when others come to you for advice. Think carefully before making any suggestions, and your friends will be more appreciative because of it. PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20 Now is the time to further your studies, Pisces. Figure out how to finance a return to school and make the most of the opportunity.

Under the hood is the truly tried and tested Pentastar 3.6-litre V6, matched to a six-speed automatic transmission. This power combination pumps out 283 horsepower but still remains frugal when it comes to fuel economy – 12.2/7.9 L/100 kms. Driving in town with such a large vehicle is not so much of challenge as you might expect. The excellent vision provided by large windows helps when parking in those tight supermarket spots. Stop/go traffic on Highway One was not fun and certainly spoiled the fuel

The basic Caravan is anything but basic in its equipment tally and starts at $27,995. The tester was loaded to the gunwales with every bell and whistle and came in at $43,580. Take out the basic for the test drive then start adding the features you want until you run up against budget wall. ‘Mom’s taxi’ is going to be around for a while yet and that’s good news for sports oriented families and maybe even the National Hockey League. keith.morgan@drivewaybc.ca

Safety Tip: With summer plans often including more time on the road, make sure you assess your tires before a road trip. Check them regularly for air pressure, tread depth, and always replace tires with bulges, cuts, or cracks.

Drives-U-Crazy Passing in the curb lane People who pass in the curb lane rather than take a free left lane are nuts. There’s nothing illegal about their choice on a multi-lane road but’s asking for trouble the least being caught behind parked cars. The other danger is people are oriented to checking the left when driving not the right. They should check both before changing lanes but the reality is they don’t.

Side Trips: Mount Baker Vineyards and Winery has a tasting room, offers tours, has a picnic area and is open Thursday through Sunday, noon to 5:00 p.m. It’s about 3 km east of the Nugent’s Corner roundabout, where you can also spot the historic Bethany Church (built in 1907) landmark. Nooksack Falls is just a short (and groomed) gravel road off the highway about 11 km (7 ml) east of Glacier, which is the last community along the highway. You do have to scramble over some (slippery when wet) rocks to get to a good (and safe) fenced viewing area. The water takes a spectacular 30 m (100 ft) plunge, so a close-up view is definitely worth the extra effort. Interesting Eating Places: Anthony’s is an excellent choice for lunch or dinner in Bellingham. Situated in the harbour area it overlooks the marina and has views of the San Juan Islands. Great service, great fare (especially the seafood), all tables come with a view and the prices are very reasonable, compared to Vancouver. An after-meal stroll around the picturesque marina walkway also allows you to ogle hundreds of boats and yachts up close.

On a muggy, scorching hot summer’s day, what better vehicle than the aptly named Highlander for a high-altitude scenic drive to find some cool, crisp mountain air and sink a foot in a glacier. All-new for 2014, Highlander Hybrid is the fuel-efficient and eco-friendlier You probably will version of what Toyota describes as its recover that extra mid-sized SUV, but it sure looks and investment in this feels bigger than most in this class, Highlander hybrid while plus it can seat up to seven (or eight). Wider and longer than last year, this doing your eco-part to Highlander is also lower and, more save a world that looks importantly from a driving perspective, it has a lower centre of gravity. pretty good from high There was a time when Highlander up on Mount Baker. looked like an SUV, with an angular two-box design. Its styling Bob McHugh lines have softened with successive redesigns and now if you put Highlander beside its Camry-based wagon sibling, the Venza, you need a second look to tell them apart. Not sure if that’s a good thing, but I do like its more car-like driving dynamics. Not far south of the Canadian border, Mount Baker is a glacier-covered mountain that rises 3,286 m (10,781 ft) above sea level, which is over 900 m (3,000 ft) higher than Whistler, the best-known mountain in BC. Mount Baker is also regarded as the second most active volcano in the Cascade Mountain Range, after Mount St. Helens, but there’s been nary a puff since 1880.The Mount Baker Highway (Hwy. 542) starts in Bellingham (exit #255 off the I-5), winds east through a number of small communities and offers some interesting side tours along the way, before it climbs steeply and ends at Artist Point (1,567 m / 5,140 ft.). This large parking lot, which is about 10 km beyond the ski area, is closed during the winter months and has spectacular panoramic views, plus a selection of great hiking trails. The highway crosses the Nooksack River at Nugent’s Corner and tracks east, alongside the north fork of the river, through old growth areas in the Mount Baker Snoqualmie National Forest. Allow about 1.5 hours of leisurely drive time in each direction. You’ll also need a ($5) day pass to park, which you get from automated dispensers at the Glacier Public Service Center or at Heather Meadows near the skiing area. The Hybrid Synergy Drive system in Highlander uses a 3.5L Atkinson Cycle V6 gas engine, a high torque electric motor-generator and powerful traction battery. It boasts 10 additional horsepower (280 net horsepower) over the gas-only model, yet uses almost 30 per cent less fuel. Although Toyota has done an admirable job of masking it, Highlander Hybrid is a weighty (2,200 kg) vehicle, and has the usual characteristics of a heavy vehicle. It’s more than fine in a straight line and while handling is laudably predictable, it didn’t seem to like being tossed around on the twisty sections of the highway. Then again, that’s the norm in this class of vehicle.

Web site: anthonys.com The North Fork Brewery, Pizzeria, Beer Shrine and Wedding Chapel is an out of the ordinary and rewarding halfway (going or returning) restaurant stop on the Mount Baker Highway that’s known locally as “The Shrine”. Don’t be put off by the long name or its rustic appearance as the food is delicious and there’s an awesome selection of fresh brewed-on-site handcrafted beers. Web site: northforkbrewery.com Last Word: A hybrid edition of the Toyota Highlander costs an additional $6,000 to $8,000. Yes, you probably will recover that extra investment in this hybrid while doing your eco-part to save a world that looks pretty good from high up on Mount Baker.
