Immersion numbers down AUTUMN MacDONALD Observer Reporter The Gold Pan city is bucking the trend when it comes to french immersion enrolment. The Canadian Parents for French released a report Wednesday indicating enrolment in the immersion programs up across the province – not so in School District 28. “Province-wide, French Immersion enrolment has been increasing for 16 consecutive years,” the release states. “The booming popularity of this well-established program is putting pressure on many local school boards to accommodate the growing demand from families.” From 255 School District 28 french immersion students enrolled in 2004/05 to 194 in 2013/14 the drop in numbers has been steadily decreasing over the years. Not so in other districts. Provincially there were 35,636 french immersion students enrolled in the 2004/05 year climbing to 49,450 in the 2013/14 year. “We believe French programs are popular in British Columbia because they are widely recognized by parents as providing young students with the tools and experiences that will enrich their lives and help them prepare for the future,” President Canadian Parents for French B.C. and Yukon Patti Holm said. “We urge parents, educators, and local decision makers to work together to plan for French immersion growth and to improve learning outcomes through standardized benchmarks and authentic learning experiences.” Other key report findings: • As of the 2013/2014 school year there were more than 49,000 students in French immersion, or 8.8 per cent of B.C.’s public school enrolment. • There are over 187,000 students in B.C. learning French through the basic Core French program, or one-third of all students. • Over the past six years overall student enrolment in Quesnel decreased by 614 students, or 15.4 per cent. Over the same six years French immersion enrolment in Quesnel has decreased by 14 students or 6.7 per cent. • Province-wide, French immersion attrition (drop-out) is highest between grade seven and grade eight.

An ENT (ear, nose, throat) surgeon in Quesnel who offers services that have not have been provided in a long time in the community has received generous support from Spectra Energy. Dr. Lalenthra Naidoo, who was trained in South Africa, arrived in Quesnel in May. Since opening her practice, she identified an upgrade in equipment that would be necessary to conduct surgical procedures. Recently, a donation of $5,000 from Spectra Energy facilitated through Spirit of the North Healthcare

Foundation went towards equipment supporting Laryngotomy (throat) and Myringotomy (ear) procedures. For a city that went years without an ENT specialist, the arrival of Naidoo and the equipment is a welcome change. Residents of the community can undergo ENT procedures without leaving the comfort of their community. “My patients are very grateful to have ENT services once again since the passing of Dr. Duffy about eight years ago,” Naidoo said. “This period without ENT

support in the area has meant that Quesnel residents had to go to Prince George, Kamloops or Vancouver for their appointments, necessitating taking time off work and losing out on pay for travel expenses. “With medical practices changing on an almost daily basis, equipment and technology also needs to be upgraded to ensure that patients get the best possible care. The gap in ENT services in Quesnel for the past few years means that equipment has not been upgraded. Equipment in this highly specialized

field is critical to provide continued surgical management of various ENT conditions. Private funding and donations are vital to restock our operating room.” Naidoo hopes to be able to perform sinus surgery in the upcoming years as well and routinely refers patients to other major centers until equipment is available at G.R. Baker Memorial. Major donations are needed, with sinus surgery equipment in excess of $80,000. She remains hopeful that this will someday take place. “We are so pleased

to see this come together for Dr. Naidoo and the Community of Quesnel,” CEO for Spirit of the North Judy Neiser said. “We work closely with Spectra Energy and their desire to improve healthcare in many of the communities in the region. “This truly is a great example of our valued donors helping to bring the best possible care closer to home in the North.” Naidoo showed her appreciation for Spectra Energy, one of North America’s leading pipeline and midstream companies. She said that the

company’s support allows G.R. Baker Memorial to perform basic surgery in the “voice box” area. “Thank you Spectra Energy for considering and giving back to the community of Quesnel,” Neiser said. “Your generosity is helping patients in this community and the surrounding areas obtain access to the vital health care services they require. Thank you for your ongoing support. “ A very big thank you to Spirit of the North too. Without your efforts in fundraising, health care services would be at a loss.”

Siemens throws hat in City Hall race

Quesnel has been my home for 26 years. We have raised two children in Quesnel and it is where I met the love of my life. I have been actively involved in the Residential Housing industry for the past six years. We are committed to providing Safe, Clean and Affordable housing to all diversities in Quesnel. In 2010 I co-administered and launched the Crime Free MultiHousing program in Quesnel, in partnership with Quesnel RCMP community policing. Being involved in the community has been a big part of my life. It is time to take the next big step. I would love to be your city councillor. First off, I am not going to make any promises. I do not know what I am walking into. Sure, some of it is to be expected, but there is stuff I do not know. If I made you all a promise, and it could not be kept, would that make me a good public servant? Keeping promises and building relationships lead to bringing all diversities and

Shawna Siemens

cultures in Quesnel together to create a resilient community. It is only as a resilient community can we become what we want to be. What I can say that I will do my best. I will use my education, life experience and knowledge to serve you and your community. I will learn what I do not know. Not just through books, agendas or city council meetings, but through you. Each and every one of you possesses a knowledge that is valuable to our community. With integrating your knowledge and other available information, it will produce a Quesnel home-grown councillor – the peoples voice. If I am elected this will be my first term. Obituary Tribute

RUBY FRAUNEY TRUDEAU Feb. 4, 1931 - Sept. 20, 2014

Ruby Frauney Trudeau (nee Laviolette) was born in Quesnel BC; first born to Mary and Wilfred Laviolette. Ruby was raised in Alexandria, BC and attended Lansdowne Elementary School, Williams Lake High School and Helen Dixon in Quesnel. Ruby married Gerard (Curly) Trudeau on July 17, 1948. They lived in Kamloops for nine years before moving to the Quesnel area. Ruby was predeceased by her husband in 1971. She is survived by her son Gerald (Heather), grandsons Travis and Michael, long time partner Camille Parent, brother Rae (Barb) Laviolette, sisters: Bernice Lorenz, Dora (Dougal) McMillan and Theresa (Gary) Papineau, as well as many nieces and nephews.

Ruby’s funeral mass was held Sept. 25, 2014 at the St Ann’s Catholic Church in Quesnel BC. Those wishing to honour Ruby’s memory by way of donation can do so to the BC Lupus Society. A special thank you to all of the people who helped make her stay at Cariboo Place comfortable especially Wanda, Kathy and Bob. Thank you to the Catholic Women’s League and the Legion of Mary for all their support. She will be sadly missed by all who knew and loved her.

Quesnel Cariboo Observer

I still have a lot to learn and I am ready. I believe that Quesnel needs representatives that will keep to their promises, work in creating long and lasting relationships and work as a team. What is a team? Well, a team is a group of individuals that work together, put all their knowledge on the table, and make it work. When one of your members goes down, you loose a vital line in the ability to be effective. Supporting each-other is a key element to a success. Sometimes we need to look in the mirror to get a new perspective. This is what I bring to the table. Quesnel councillors, mayor and all citizens need to be a team to be effective. Integrity plays a large role in developing a close relationship within the community. Getting out there, walking the beat, talking to your fellow neighbours and citizens, hearing their wishes and concerns. It is only with Equality and Fairness can we create lower

taxes and strategically implement programs to sustain our community in times like this. Being Accountable and responsible in all aspects is not a choice when you represent a community. It is a requirement. You are put in a place of trust. It is expected of you to be open, honest and transparent. You are not only “elected” to serve and represent your community, you are “hired” to do a job that needs to be done. You are being paid to do your pubic service. The main six things I would like to look at in our community are: fiscal responsibility, economic benefits, accountability, openness, honesty and transparency. I want to be the peoples councillor, not only in City Hall, but in all aspects. The time has come to get out of that chair, slip into those jeans, put on your boots and go walk your beat. After all, it is the Cariboo. Municipal elections are Nov. 15.

Our ofﬁce will be CLOSED Monday, October 13, 2014. We will reopen on Tuesday, October 14, 2014.

Obituary Tribute

DONNAGENE F. KRUMM July 3, 1948 - July 15, 2014

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Donna at Chilliwack General Hospital. Donna was born in Prince George, while living in Giscome. At the age of six, her family moved to Vancouver and shortly after, moved to New Westminister, then to a farm in Aldergrove. At the age of 10 they moved again to a dairy farm in Matsqui, where she loved doing chores with her father. In 1965, at the age of seventeen, she married & moved to Edmonton, where her daughter Kerrie Giesbrecht, was born. Her family then moved back to Abbotsford, where another beautiful daughter, Sherri, was born. Her family then moved to Quesnel, where she lived for many years. In 1983, she married Lyle Kruum & together they owned Regal Jewellers, till they retired & moved to Campbell River. About three years later, they bought a sailboat & sailed around the world for three and a half years. What an exciting adventure for them! After returning, Donna was diagnosed

Smell ‘n’ tell 1 with mitochondrial disease. Lyle & Donna then settled in Boston Bar, to be near to her daughter Sherri, grandchildren & great grandchildren. Fighting a losing battle, gracefully & always with a smile, Donna passed away peacefully with her loving family at her side. Donna is survived by her loving husband Lyle, daughters Kerrie (Dwaine Guy) Sherri (Jay Forman) sister Bonnie (Greg Laberge), eight grandchildren, eight great grandchildren, nieces & nephews. Donna was predeceased by her mom & dad, Glen & Jenny Tallman, sister & niece, Glenda & Jolene Giesbrecht & great granddaughter, Mackenzie Forman. Donna will be greatly missed by all.

MP’s must take lead

he House of Commons must be the venue where Canadian involvement in the battle against ISIS, which has taken control of vast areas of Syria and Iraq, is debated. Prime Minister Stephen Harper promised that military involvements involving combat would be subject to a Commons vote when he put Canada’s further involvement in Afghanistan to a vote in 2007. Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird has now committed that any expansion of Canada’s military involvement in combating ISIS will also come to the House. A careful study of Canada’s history shows that Parliament is the very best place to make final decisions on military missions. One hundred years ago, Canada was automatically at war when Great Britain decided to declare war on Germany. This country was in for the long haul, and more than 66,000 soldiers lost their lives in what is widely seen as one of history’s most futile and destructive wars. In contrast, the decision to enter the Second World War was made by Parliament. While that commitment ended up being even more total than in the First World War, it was managed in a far better way, and the cause was one that was worth fighting for. The same can be said for combat against ISIS. The organization has no redeeming principles or values, and indeed its followers are slaughtering many Muslims, as well as adherents of other faiths, for no reason. Canada was right not to go to war against Iraq in 2003, but this is a very different matter. Nonetheless, the final decision needs to be made by MPs — not by the cabinet. –Black Press

For the love of laundry

have a love/hate relationship with laundry. I love the modern convenience of having my very own washing machine and dryer right inside my house, and I’m often reminding myself how much easier things are because of that privilege, but I hate how often I’m cleaning stuff that isn’t even dirty. Okay, maybe hate is too strong a word. But writing that I have a love/dislike relationship with laundry would have been less catchy. “Why are these in here?” I asked my kids when I found three damp bath sheets on the top of the hamper. “I just washed these yesterday.” “You said you didn’t want us leaving them on the floor,” my 11-year-old daughter said, perplexed at my objection. “What I ask is for you to hang the towels you’ve only used once up on the rack in the bathroom like you would in a hotel,” I said. “That way they’ll dry and you can use them again and we’re not wasting as much water or electricity.” “Sorry Mom,” my 14-year-

Lori Welbourne

On A Brighter Note old son said. “It won’t happen again.” When my kids apologize and say something won’t happen again, what that really means is they’d like me to stop talking about it until the next time it happens. “And what’s all this doing in here?” I asked, pulling out clothes my daughter and her friends had on briefly for one of their playfashion shows. “You only wore these for a few minutes.” “Oh yeah,” my daughter said, grabbing them to take back to the closet. “Ew,” she said after taking a few steps down the hall. “These stink.” “I’ll bet,” I said. “They’ve been all mixed in with the dirty washcloths and workout clothes by now.”

their stuff away or anything left out will get donated to a more tidy kid, they’ll do it. People have told me that all children are slobs, but I know at least one that’s a neat freak, just like her mom. Looking for some insight into this wonderful phenomenon I asked my friend what she was doing right to have produced such a kid. She said her younger daughter was that way naturally and her older one was similar to my children. Sam and Daisy might not be as clean as I’d like, but apparently they know sports terminology better than me. “You know we don’t score goals in basketball, right Mom?” my son asked as he dunked a sock. “That’s true,” my daughter said, laughing with her brother. “We score points, Silly.” I didn’t care. As long as they were making an effort to help, I had nothing but love for our never-ending laundry. Okay, maybe love is too strong a word. Lori Welbourne is a syndicated columnist. LoriWelbourne.com

“Way to go, Daisy,” Sam said. “Throwing everything in the hamper isn’t cleaning up, you know.” “Well, at least I tried,” Daisy replied. “Your room’s still a disaster.” It actually wasn’t nearly as bad as it’s been before. Despite the large wicker basket displayed prominently along the wall in the middle of his bedroom, there were clothes and blankets all over the floor, under his bed and behind his guitars in the corner. “You play basketball, right?” I asked him. “Think of this hamper as your basket and your clothes as the ball and try to score some goals.” This was not a new suggestion, but a recycled one that I remembered using on him with some success when he was a little boy. My kids are messy people who require games, deals and sometimes ultimatums to get them to clean up after themselves. For example, if I bring in a big garbage bag and say they have 15 minutes to put

Fletcher fails to do his homework Editor: Re: Report card time for local politicians (B.C. Views, Sept. 24). My track record advocating for costeffective delivery of municipal services, fiscal discipline in major infrastructure projects, open government and safety in our communities is clear. Voters and municipal officials from

Letters to the Editor

across the political spectrum value this contribution at Victoria City Hall, which has saved taxpayers money, improved public services and helped to make the municipality more responsive to resident concerns. Tom Fletcher chooses to ignore this track record in his column, perhaps because he has

not attended a single meeting of Victoria city council or the Capital Regional District since I was elected to represent the people of Victoria three years ago. Alongside my work on municipal issues, the people of Victoria have asked me to stand up and advocate to the provincial and federal governments on issues they care

about that impact our community. This includes the threat of oil tankers and pipelines on coastal communities and interior waterways; attacks on our postal system and education system and the workers who deliver those services; and the rights of First Nations on issues including sacred burial sites and land development.

The Union of B.C. Municipalities (UBCM) and the Federation of Canadian Municipalities are legitimate channels for dialogue between local government and the provincial and federal governments. At this year’s UBCM convention, I spoke directly with Premier Christy Clark and her ministers on matters affecting the City of

Victoria and Capital Region, helping to build relationships and find solutions that will benefit the community that I am elected to represent. Fletcher is entitled to his views, as I told him during a conversation at UBCM. But I think we would all benefit if he did his homework first. Councilllor Ben Isitt Victoria

Women recognize the importance of living a healthy lifestyle, which includes conducting self-exams to detect for breast cancer. Breast selfexams are vital to discovering abnormalities, including lumps or tenderness, in the breasts. Self-examination increases the chances of early detection of breast cancer. John Hopkins Medical Center states that 40 percent of diagnosed breast cancers are detected by women who feel a lump. Doctors urge women to conduct monthly self-exams to familiarize themselves with the look and feel of their breasts, which enables them to more readily recognize any abnormalities that may indicate illness. There are a number of ways to conduct a breast selfexam, and women are urged to find the method they feel is most comfortable for them. The National Breast Cancer Foundation, Inc., offers these tips for conducting a breast examination at home. * Examine breasts in the shower. A breast examination can take place in the shower while you are washing. The shower is a convenient place

to conduct an exam since you already have removed your clothes. NBCF says you should use the pads of your fingers and move around your entire breast in a circular pattern, moving from the outside to the center, checking the entire breast and armpit area. Check both breasts each month for any lumps, thickening or hardened knots. If you find a lump, visit your physician for an evaluation. * Conduct an examination in bed. The breast tissue will naturally distribute over your chest wall and ribs when you are lying down. NBCF advises you to place a pillow under your right shoulder and your right arm behind your head. Using your left hand, move the pads of your fingers around your right breast gently in small circular motions covering the entire breast area and armpit. Squeeze the nipple and check for discharge or lumps. Then repeat the process on the left breast. * Conduct a visual examination. Standing in front of the mirror, you can look at your breasts with your hands at your side and over your head. Look for any differences between breasts. Many women find that their breasts are not exactly the

same shape or size, but unusual dimpling or taut or thick skin may be indicative of a problem. Should any lumps or abnormalities be discovered during an examination, a woman should not panic but schedule an appointment with her doctor for a more thorough examination, which may include a mammogram or ultrasound to map out images of the breast that may be hidden to the naked eye. Breast self-examinations are an essential element of a healthy lifestyle for women. Early detection of breast cancer vastly improves survival rates, and self-examination is often the most effective way to detect breast cancer early on.

The right tools in the right hands ANNIE GALLANT Observer Reporter

uesnel’s street nurse Reanne Sanford has been given a new tool in her fight against death from overdoses in the world of opioid addicts. Like the majority of small towns in Northern B.C., Quesnel drug use is prevalent and ever changing. The types of drugs and the trends differ from month to month and year to year. However, through her time working with clients it has become clear that opioids are one drug that remains constant. Opioids are a family medication that includes morphine, codeine, heroin, fentanyl and methadone. They bond with the breathing receptors in the brain and if taken in large amounts, overwhelm these receptors and completely shut down the person’s drive to breathe. If action is not taken right away, the person will die from respiratory failure. In 2013, opioid overdoses killed 308 people in B.C. and Canada has the second highest consumption of

prescription opioids in the world. In August 2012, the Take Home Naloxone Program (THNP) was launched in B.C. It was a new harm reduction strategy aimed to educate clients (opioid addicts and associates) on the signs and symptoms of overdoses, what to do and how to administer a lifesaving medication called naloxone. Through peer involvement, it empowered people to learn more about overdoses and to then teach others around them on how to save a life, possibly their own. Naloxone is named on the World Health Organization (WHO) list of essential medicines. It is able to reverse the effects of opioids within minutes. It lasts 30 – 90 minutes and provides time for friends or family to get help. However, naloxone is currently a scheduled medication that must be prescribed by a physician or nurse practitioner in B.C. and for those clients who often do not have a primary health care provider, this poses a real challenge. Clients who are marginalized and street involved have very few positive encounters

with the health care system. The stigma of addiction becomes a big enough barrier that many will not access health care services for fear of being treated poorly. In May 2014, thanks to Sanford’s diligence, the THNP came to Quesnel, one of three northern communities offering training in the use of naloxone for an identified group of at risk individuals. “We were looking for people to train,” Sanford said. “Prescription opioid users, family and friends of opioid addicts, anyone returning from and at risk of returning to addiction were in the target groups. We also knew, in order to engage clients, it was important to meet them where they were at.” Sanford chose to partner with Seasons House and the Tillicum Society Friendship Centre to offer the training, places where clients felt comfortable and supported. Training sessions were delivered at Seasons House on a day when Shanda Rojas, nurse practitioner was already on site so prescriptions could be provided to clients that day. NARCAN kits were dispensed

Street nurse Reanne Sanford checks out the NARCAN kit. before they left the shelter. “To date we’ve trained more than 45 shelter and support staff from differing community centres,” Sanford said. “We have 11 kits out in the community with several more prescriptions coming soon.” NARCAN kits contain two syringes, two doses of naloxone (with only 30 – 90 minutes until it wears off, if addition medical attention is not available, another injection can be given), rubber gloves and instructions for intramuscular delivery. Naloxone is only effective with opioids. If there are

no narcotics (opioids) in the system, this drug exhibits no pharmacological activity, and is of no value to other addicts. But other barriers to the effectiveness of this program exist. When naloxone is administered, those individuals with the person overdosing are reluctant to call 911 which brings the necessary trained medical personnel to ensure the overdose is truly reversed and the patient receives further treatment. “When I asked a young morphine user what prevents her from calling 911 in an overdose situation she responded with fear – afraid of the consequences; afraid

the police would come and bust them,” Sanford said. “So a lot of times if someone starts to overdose, people around them will leave. They don’t want to be involved with someone who may have taken too much drugs for fear of getting in trouble. “I know of maybe four or five opioid overdose deaths and most opioiddependent clients have either witness or experienced overdoses. Since the program has been in place I know of one reversal thanks to the NARCAN kit.” She added because of how the program is administered, it was someone trained with

naloxone who gave the kit to another member of the street community who used the kit correctly and saved a life. “People need to understand opiate addicts exist in all levels of society and are at risk of overdose as much as visible street addicts,” she said. “Fear and stigma around being identified as connected to opiate addicts needs to disappear.” Sanford is optimistic nurses will soon be able to dispense NARCAN kits so the right tools are in the right hands when someone overdoses and a life can be saved.

Five quick facts on the flu shot

Many of us still have issues surrounding the flu shot even though it’s been around for years. Questions include what it is, how it works, and whether or not it is necessary. Here are five quick facts to help you make your decision:

1. Everyone over age six months should get a flu shot. 2. Each year, a different flu vaccine is created to be effective against the current virus strain, so it’s important to get a flu shot every year. 3. The best time to do it is in September or October, before

flu season starts in November. It takes two weeks for the shot to be most effective, so you can still get one in December or later, but earlier shots give you better odds of staying flu-free 4. The benefits of getting the flu shot outweigh the risks:

the shot cannot cause the flu as it does not contain a live virus, but some recipients may experience mild fever or soreness at the site of injection. 5. The flu shot is effective in preventing influenza as it causes antibodies to develop in your body. These antibodies provide

protection against infection. Best of all, says Chen, you can get the flu shot at your pharmacy and no appointment is necessary. So on your next visit to pick up prescriptions, or to buy over-the-counter medications, be sure to ask for a flu shot too.

Another season bites the dust

he Cariboo Tri Club ended the race season with a huge bang. We spent the weekend in the Lillooet area to participate in the third Annual Pavilion Lake Triathlon, Sept. 14. The race is hosted by Kamloops Tri Club. For those that have never heard of Pavilion it’s a real Gem of British Columbia.

Nestled in the mountains between Cache Creek and Lillooet, Pavilion is the second cleanest Lake in B.C. Its beautiful crystal clear green waters made for a very scenic, though cold, swim for the racers. Bob Simpson, who was coming from an amazing 12th place finish at World’s in Edmonton, ended the race in

first over all with an astonishing time of 1:06.28. He was fourth out of the water but with his strong biking ability he was able to come off the bike first and hold the lead through the five kilometre run. David Osmond set himself up for a personal best. Osmond put in his fastest ever 750 m swim and the rolling bike and

run course seemed to suit his cycling and running abilities to a “t.” All the fun on the course paid off well, Osmond finished in 6th overall and second if his division in a time of 1:16.38. Fawn Williams competed in her first sprint distance, having always opted to do Olympic distance it was a great chance for her to find out what the

world of Sprint distance is all about. Williams started the race in a great spot having the swim of her life and stayed strong, (as she always does) through the bike and run. Williams placed third in her division in a time of 1:26.53. Ted Law is one of our newest members but you wouldn’t have See PAGE A15

Law’s quiet nature never showed any of the usual pre-race jitters but I still think they were there. He put in an amazing swim coming out of the water just ahead of Osmond (there may have been a little club competition happening in the water with the boys), and he had a good strong bike. I think Law found a new gear on the run and finished in second place in his division. He finished in an amazing time of 1:21:28, amazing for a first timer.

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20 An issue at work requires your immediate attention, Aries. This situation must be approached delicately, but don’t be afraid to speak your mind and accept the results. TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, a busy week awaits but just take things one project at a time. Keep to yourself for a little bit in an attempt to stay focused on the numerous tasks at hand. GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, your positive attitude is why people have grown to rely on you in tight spots. Plant a smile on your face and others will benefit from your positive influence. CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, it’s hard to know when to be assertive at work. You want to appear competent and in control, but you also want to build a good rapport with coworkers. Experiment a little. LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, give plans time to develop, but don’t feel the need to hide your enthusiasm about the prospects. Trust your instincts as to when is a good time to get moving. VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, you cannot control the behavior of others, but you can change your own direction to counteract some unexpected developments. Keep an open mind. LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23 Don’t be surprised if your schedule gets turned upside down this week, Libra. It’s important to roll with the punches so others can see how flexible you can be. SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, an unconventional approach is your key to success this week. While others are following Plan A, go with Plan B and you may meet with great results. SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21 Fantasy can overtake reality if you let it, Sagittarius. You may need to rein in your hopes and dreams for a bit and focus on some more practical matters. CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20 Friends may distract you from work this week, Capricorn. Although it’s not wise to let responsibilities slide completely, you can probably get away with a day of slacking off. AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, the physical rewards for all your hard work will become apparent soon. You’ll find that all of your efforts thus far have been well worth the sacrifices. PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, although you may dream of escaping the daily grind, you may need to persevere for just a little while longer. Your respite is coming.

From Korea to Quesnel

WHITNEY GRIFFITHS Observer Reporter

Quesnel Tiger Martial Arts held a grand opening Sept. 20 at their new location in the Maple Park Mall. The grand opening included seminars with Chief Master Jeff Viani from Tiger Martial Arts in Kamloops. Assisting Chief Master Viani with the seminars were visiting instructors Master Shawn Sabyan and Mr. Jared Chomyc. Quesnel’s Tiger Martial Arts provides instruction in many different forms of martial arts for students of all ages looking to try a new skill. The curriculum includes Tae Kwon Do, weapons, JiuJitsu, kickboxing and, new to Quesnel, Teuk Gong Moo Sul. Master Joel Kolenchuk along with Quesnel instructors Reilly Jones, Chris Spicer and Jesse Dean are among the first people in Northern, B.C. to be certified in Teuk Gong Moo Sul. “Having my certification but also having some instructors that are fully certified is a big milestone for the Tiger Martial Arts,” Master Kolenchuk said.

mid-range torque making the Mustang accelerate easily and it passes well on the highway. There isn’t the classic V8 rumble but this compromise is easy to take, knowing that this model has plenty of power for the average daily commuter. The true muscle car enthusiast will be attracted to the 435hp 5.0L V8. Power goes through either a 6-speed manual or 6-speed automatic with paddle shifters on the steering wheel. The big change to the chassis is the introduction of an independent rear suspension and modified front suspension, plus bigger brakes. Carving through the canyons outside of L.A. was a treat, the platform is very forgiving and there is no longer any unstable mid-corner surprises found in the older cars, just a very sure-footed modern car. Verdict 50 years is a long time to continually produce a single car model. What comes out of this is a cumulative result that is

hard to beat. The engineers have done a great job of bringing the suspension into the modern world and the new EcoBoost engine will be very popular, once people try it. The old-school buyers will be attracted to the meaty V8 but often, sensible decisions prevail and the EcoBoost is a solid experience. The styling is stunning, inside and out. To be blunt, this car will be a homerun for Ford. There are two things I’d like to see improved. The seat back has no electric actuation, which means getting the right spot is hard to achieve. The second is the suspension in the GT can be a bit bouncy over city conditions but settles right down at highway speeds – pretty minor stuff for an all-new car. The Lowdown Power: 2.3L turbo 4-cylinder with 310hp, 300hp V6 or 435hp V8 Fill-up: N/A (city/highway) Sticker price: $24,999-$52,899 zack.spencer@drivewaybc.ca

Safety Tip: Fall can be a good time to get a deal on a new or used car, truck or SUV. If you’re shopping for a vehicle, look for the newest, safest one in your price range and check the U.S. Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) website for vehicle safety ratings.
