F

or as long as he can remember, postsecondary education has played a major role in Peter Walsh’s life.

From his father’s job as Registrar at MacDonald College of McGill University in St. Anne de Bellevue and then director of admissions at McGill University in Montreal, to his own studies at McGill, and Bishop’s University in Lennoxville, Que. and in his job as director of adult education in Quesnel with School District #28, Walsh has witnessed the importance that education plays in people’s lives.

Yet when he moved to Quesnel in 1980, he was surprised there was no

university in the region.

“I felt that there needed to be university-level education close to home,” Walsh said.

“That’s why when I heard about the drive to create UNBC I was completely in favour of it.”

In the late 1980s, Walsh was friends with Charles McCaffrey, then CNC President, who along with Tom Steadman and Bryson Stone, were early champions of the Interior University Society, an advocacy group for the creation of what would eventually become UNBC. Peter joined 16,000 other Northern B.C. residents who signed a petition and donated $5 to the

Interior University Society (IUS) to encourage the provincial government to create a university for the North. He still has his IUS membership receipt card.

His daughter Mary Thurow was a young child then, and already her postsecondary schooling was on his mind.

“I remember when I was little my dad saying maybe by the time you’re older there will be a university in the North,” she said. “And sure enough, there was.”

The vision of Walsh, Steadman, Stone and the many other advocates came to realization on June 22, 1990, when the B.C. government passed the UNBC Act, officially

creating the university.

“It was a momentous day,” Walsh said.

“We knew this would be a turning point in the region’s history. We’d have a university for the North, by the North.”

Being in the education field, Walsh continued to have connections with UNBC after the founding. For the first few years Ellen Facey, the first regional director for UNBC, had her office upstairs in his Adult Education building in Quesnel. He had a ringside seat for the evolution of the young university as it grew.

Thurow’s education was part of the reason Walsh

supported UNBC, yet he ended up becoming an alumnus himself. Peter enrolled in the Master of Education program, becoming part of the first cohort to graduate with that degree in 1999.

It was the same year Thurow earned a degree in Environmental Science.

Walsh is now retired, and Thurow works with geographic information systems in Williams Lake.

She wanted to stay close to home, and says UNBC helped her along that path.

“I knew I wanted to go away for post-secondary school, I wanted a fresh start but still be close to home,” she said.

Sweet deal Even with the slight chill in the air, there’s always room for a glass of lemonade.

Autumn MacDonald photo

Before you criticize, walk a mile in their shoes I

t was 30 degrees below zero. They were found frozen to death on the lake.

An inquiry at the time found one boy, wearing summer clothes, had no hat and one rubber missing and his foot was bare.

This was the story of Allen Willie, Andrew Paul, Maurice Justin and Johnny Michael, all boys between the ages of eight and nine, who fled Lejac Residential School in Fraser Lake, B.C. on New Year’s Day, 1937.

With Orange Shirt Day just a couple weeks behind us, I begin to wonder what reconciliation means for ‘regular’ people on a daily basis.

Orange Shirt Day is meant to symbolize the many losses experienced by thousands of indigenous students, and their families and

communities, over several generations including: loss of family, language, culture, freedom, parenting, self-esteem, self-worth and painful experiences of abuse and neglect.

So how long does it take to heal from this myriad of social injustices? How well are the Federal and Provincial governments doing at providing opportunities for change?

Quesnel’s Orange Shirt Day was spent dedicating a monument and a carving during the event to help us never to forget these injustices of the past.

In all, the Truth and Reconciliation Commission reports about 150,000 First Nations children went through the residential school system which ran from the 1830’s until the final school closed in 1996.

Closer to home, the St. Joseph’s Mission Indian Residential School in Williams Lake closed its doors in 1981.

I hear non-aboriginal people talk about this as something that is “in the past,” where most people mean it as something that is immemorial to them or extending back beyond memory, record or their knowledge, but the evidence proves the opposite.

The Legacy of Hope Foundation urges nonaboriginal citizens that, “Healing in Aboriginal communities is affected by a community’s level of understanding and awareness about the impact of the Residential School System.”

What is identified as intergenerational trauma is the consequence of the Residential School system and is defined as individuals who have

suffered the effects of traumatic stress, who then pass it on to those close to them and generate vulnerability in their children and further generations.

Research on intergenerational healing tells us that for indigenous people there have been seven generations of children who experienced and lived this trauma and it will take equal that time into the future for the infringement to be undone.

So what score should we grade B.C. in regards to addressing such intense wrong doings?

A 2013 report from watchdog Mary Ellen Turpel-Lafond, a Canadian lawyer and advocate for children’s rights in B.C., documented mismanagement of government funds intended for Aboriginal

Child and Family Programming over the past decade.

The report also notes that more than half of the province’s 8,106 children in care were Aboriginal, that number being about 4,450 children. First Nations are still over represented amongst those living in poverty, having little or no access to healthcare and other services, living in below standard housing, experiencing lower education rates and higher rates of violence.

In fact, across Canada, over 1,200 Aboriginal women are reported to be missing or murdered, calling for a national inquiry and said to be “nothing less than a national human rights crisis” by Amnesty International.

Trauma, compounded with growing mental health concerns and

substance use issues for aboriginal people, make it even harder to begin the healing process.

There’s the old saying, Before you criticize someone, walk a mile in their shoes. I think that’s a good place to start generating compassion, but even better, open your heart and have a coffee with someone and hear their story.

In the words of Justice Murray Sinclair, chair of the Canadian Truth and Reconciliation Committee, “It’s time to learn about Residential schools and learn from them.”

UNBC turns 25

from A3 “I was interested in sciences, but didn’t know what I specifically wanted to do, and was attracted by the small class sizes at UNBC.” Thurow and Walsh were around to see the formative moments in UNBC’s history, including the official opening of the Prince George campus

by Queen Elizabeth II in 1994.

“It was a really great time in my life,” Thurow said.

“I made lots of friends and felt like I was able to get to know everybody around me.

Everyone seemed excited to be there, and I was so inspired by my teachers. It was a nice small community.”

Thurow has a son and daughter of her own now.

Both mother and grandfather would like to see them attend UNBC someday, something that wouldn’t have been possible without the support of people like Walsh 25 years ago.

“I’m really thankful and proud that he had a vision and he expressed his dream about it at the time,”she said.

“UNBC became a big part of my life and I hope it will be the same for my children someday.”

B-Ville secures support An inaugural donation from the Irving K. Barber Learning Centre towards Barkerville Historic Town’s Chinese Language Collections digitization project has ensured the living history museum’s extensive and irreplaceable collection of pre-1900 written Chinese documents (the largest in North America specific to North American activities) will remain virtually indestructible – and accessible – for generations to come.

The Irving K. Barber Learning Centre contributed funds towards the digitization of more than 11,000 pages of unpublished, hand-written materials such as letters and poems. Documents cover the Cariboo region from 1860 – 1958 and will ultimately be mounted onto Barkerville’s website (www.barkerville.ca).

The people of southern China still feel incredibly connected to the “Overseas Chinese” who left Guangdong Province in the late19th and early-20th centuries.

Money they sent back to their families and to support a variety of charitable organizations changed the face of Guangdong, resulting in significant economic and social development. Much of the interest is on a more personal level, though, and there is a sincere desire to know more about the emigrants: the work they did, how they lived, and where their remains were buried. Nearly 75 per cent of the southern Chinese men who came to gold rush North America never returned, but many modern Chi-

nese citizens have at least one such ancestor who continued to send familial support to China. Barkerville has been praised by Chinese officials for its excellence in preserving and presenting the history of the Chinese immigrants. The National Historic Site’s buildings, photographs and archival material tell stories that have been lost on the other side of the Pacific.

“The Irving K. Barber Centre is pleased to support and develop partnerships with memory institutions around the province such as Barkerville Historic Town to digitize and promote access to their unique holdings,” Project Coordinator for the Irving K. Barber Learning Centre Chris Hives said.

The Irving K. Barber Learning Centre is a part of the University of British Columbia (UBC) Library and supports teaching, learning and community engagement both within UBC and throughout British Columbia. The B.C. History Digitization Program, through which Barkerville has received its first gift from the Irving K. Barber Learning Centre, promotes increased access to B.C.’s historical resources through digitization projects that result in free access to our unique provincial historical material.

For information about the digitization of Barkerville’s Chinese Language Collections, or any of Barkerville’s ongoing curatorial projects, please contact Mandy Kilsby, Curator, at 1-888-9943332, ext. 35, or e-mail mandy. kilsby@barkerville.ca.

Site C dam project design has been changed to eliminate a separate bridge across the Peace River, and confine construction camp to one side of the river.

Two temporary dams would have to be built to divert the river and allow construction of the main dam.

BC Hydro photo

Permits approved for Site C hydro dam

TOM FLETCHER Black Press Both the federal and provincial governments have issued environmental assessment certificates for BC Hydro’s Site C dam, the proposed third hydroelectric project on the Peace River in northeastern B.C. The approvals include dozens of legally binding conditions, including a $20 million farmland enhancement fund to offset river bottom land that would be flooded, and compensation for local aboriginal groups whose historic treaty rights to hunting, fishing and trapping would be affected.

Cost of the project, last estimated by BC Hydro at $7.9 billion, will factor into a final decision by the B.C. cabinet whether to go ahead with the dam. Energy Minister Bill Bennett has indicated he expects the final investment decision to be made by the end of 2014, and if it’s approved, work would begin immediately.

Among the 77 B.C. conditions is an aboriginal business participation strategy to share the estimated 10,000 person-years of construction work the dam project would generate.

been offered cash and Crown land to compensate for land lost by construction of the dam.

All are signatories to Treaty 8, which ensures their rights to hunt, trap and fish as they did before the treaty was signed in 1899. Officials say five of the seven are currently in negotiations.

Situated near Fort St. John and downstream of the

W.A.C. Bennett and Peace Canyon dams, Site C’s 1,050-metrelong earthfill dam would create a reservoir 83 km long and two to three times the current width of the river.

It requires two power lines built in the same corridor as the existing line, and six water turbine generators that would produce enough electricity to power about 450,000

Jean Elizabeth (Betty) Edwards September 23, 1928 to September 17, 2014 Betty was born in Quesnel to parents Alice and Chris Helsdon of Kersley. She was schooled at home by correspondence to grade 10.

She completed her public education at Quesnel High School and then attended Teachers Normal School in Vancouver graduating in 1950 preparing for teaching jobs in Surrey and Shalalth.

She married Walter Edwards of Kersley in 1953 where they raised five children, while she was actively involved in the Kersley Women’s Institute and Kersley Scouts, Brownies and Guides. Other pursuits were gardening, macramé, singing, basketry and embroidery.

In the late 1970’s, Betty attended UBC summer school to upgrade her teaching certificate. She returned to work in the Quesnel School District as a substitute teacher, finishing her career as the librarian at

Baker Elementary.

First published in the Vancouver Sun when she was 10 years old, writing was a lifelong passion for Betty. She became a member of the Quesnel Word Spinners, contributing regularly to their publications. This led to publishing several books of short stories and poems.

Her final book will be published posthumously.

Betty was predeceased by parents Alice and Chris Helsdon, Walter, her husband of 53 years and infant daughter Victoria.

She is survived by brother Jim (Marion) Helsdon, daughters Jenny (Clancy) Wolpert, Dolly (Brian) Gilson, sons Ken (Vivian) Edwards, Jim (Julie) Edwards and Bob Edwards, grandchildren Chris & Elden Curtis, Laura Schultz, Carol Wolpert, Chelsea, Danielle & Kimberly Gilson, Megan & Caitlin Edwards,

Trent Ghesquiere, Julie Swanson, Felecia (Jared) Fritz and Michael Edwards, great grandchildren Cody Wolpert, Julia Doran, Hunter & Phoenix Ghesquiere, Jade & Fayelene Fritz and numerous cousins, nieces and nephews.

The memorial service for Betty was held on September 17th at St. John the Divine Anglican Church.

The family requests that donations be made to Quesnel & District Hospice Palliative Care in lieu of flowers.

BC Hydro estimates that because Site C would use water held

back in the existing Williston Lake reservoir, it would generate 35 per cent

of the energy as the Bennett dam with only five per cent of the reservoir area.

Robert (Bob) Wurm September 21, 1934 - September 15, 2014

It is with great sadness that the family of Bob Wurm announce his passing on Monday, September 15, 2014 in Quesnel at Dunrovin Park Lodge.

Bob lived his adult life in the Quesnel area. He was born on the family homestead in Saskatchewan, near the town of Barthel. The family moved to Osoyoos B.C. when he was eight, and it was a great place to spend his youth.

When Bob was eighteen the “Call of the Cariboo” came to him and he joined his brothers Joe and Rudy in Quesnel. Bob worked in all the areas of the logging and lumber industry, most of the time operating equipment. This lead Bob to buying a back-hoe, and for many years you would see him digging holes and ditches anywhere in the Quesnel area.

He also became a miner in the Island Mountain mine at Wells, B.C. Eventually, he fulfilled his dream and developed Roberts Roost Campsite on Dragon Lake.

This is where he loved to be.

Bob wasn’t all work and no play. He enjoyed swimming; high diving and would swim across Dragon Lake. He was an avid ball player, hang glider, skier and skater.

He really did love the Cariboo and he did LIVE LIFE. Bob married Vivian in 1956 and together they raised their three children.

He retired in 2008 when he and Vivian took up travelling seriously. They spent the time visiting all the areas of Canada.

Bob was predeceased by his infant son, his parents Anna and Edward,

his brothers Joe and Rudy and sister Ludwina.

He is survived by his wife Vivian; daughter Cindy Hoffmann; sons Clint (Donna) and Wade (Wanda); grandchildren: Taylor (Erin) Hoffmann, Erin Ann Hoffmann, Robert (Michelle) Wurm, Caitlin (Chris) Foreman, Mitchell (Hannah Braman) Wurm, Joshua (Bobi Martin) Wurm, Jaymee (Sean) Hall; great granddaughter Lakey Wurm; sisters: Rose (Len) Senft, Agnes Stevens and many, many nieces and nephews.

The family wishes to thank the nurses on the third floor of G.R. Baker Memorial hospital and all the staff at Dunrovin Park Lodge for the care given to Bob. A big Thank you to everyone who gave support and helped. It was much appreciated.

A Funeral Mass was held in Quesnel on September 19, 2014 at St. Ann’s Catholic Church with a reception following.

The many faces of karaoke – all you want it to be

Save the date. Oct 18 karaoke begins again at Begbie’s Bar and Bistro with lots of new songs (6,000 now available) and a new easy-to-use camera.

Did you know studies show the benefits of karaoke in Japan? A study by Professor Takeshi Tanigawa of Ehime University Graduate School of Medicine of 19,356 men ages 40 – 69 found that karaoke reduced stress and was associated

with lower risk of stroke and heart disease. Tanigawa said karaoke bars are a good way to cope with stress, adding the deep breathing used while singing is good for the nervous system. The benefits come with the combination of singing, moderate alcohol consumption and the social support and approval of friends.

This form of entertainment/exercise is good for the body and a great way to socialize.

Drop in the bucket

Friday, October 17, 2014

Quesnel Cariboo Observer

Lack of activity destroys the good condition of every human being, while movement and methodical physical exercise save it and preserve it.

– Plato

T

he federal Conservatives deserve credit for recognizing that childhood fitness is an issue and that sports activities are expensive.

But let’s face it, the doubling of the tax credit for kids under 16 from $500 to $1,000 is just a drop in the bucket when it comes to getting kids active and fit.

Now, parents can get back up to 15 per cent of their children’s registration or membership fees at tax time but it’s really just a gesture and an acknowledgement that the original $500 tax credit was far too low, especially if you have more than one child in more than one sport.

What sweetens the pot slightly is that the maximum credit actually works as a refund of $150, meaning that families whose incomes are too low to benefit will get some help, although they have to spend a lot to benefit a little. Cynics will argue that the Tories are just buying votes – with voters’ own money – in advance of a federal election a year from now. But people’s memories aren’t that long and the refund or tax credit isn’t worth that much.

What would make a difference would be a national fitness strategy to encourage families to make health and fitness a priority. Currently, this is left up to the cities to do, with some encouragement from provincial or regional health authorities and other non-profit agencies.

What’s missing is a culture of active living because everybody is so strapped for time, people drive everywhere and sitting in front of a screen all day is seen as the most productive way of getting things done.

Could a pan-national strategy address more issues over a long time-frame? Absolutely, and it’s not just kids who could benefit from incentives to employers and agencies to get everyone moving and being healthy.

– Autumn MacDonald, Observer

No one should have to fight alone O ct. 4, 2013 my vibrant, gorgeous friend Jenni Kilgour received a phone call that would change her life forever. Her biopsy had come back positive for breast cancer.

It didn’t make sense. Only 37 years of age, the occupational therapist and mother of three young children had never felt healthier or more fit.

She had only gone to the doctor because of a persistent sore muscle under her right arm that left her wondering if a lymph node was causing the discomfort. But mammogram and ultrasound results indicated nothing wrong with that side of her chest.

Instead, an unrelated dark spot on her left breast was discovered, so a biopsy had been recommended as a precaution. Feeling exceedingly grateful that her cancer was caught early in that fortuitous exam, Jenni was simultaneously terrified about her new reality.

Days later she and her husband, Rob were encouraged when the surgeon told them her cancer was 100% curable.

Following an MRI and genetic testing, four treatment options were explained. After careful consideration, Jenni decided a bilateral mastectomy with

Lori Welbourne

On A Brighter Note reconstruction was her best choice, and the radical operation was scheduled for November 12.

In a society that sexualizes breasts, it was surprising to some that her emotions of loss were triggered primarily by the symbolism of motherhood.

“My breasts gave my babies life,” she said.

“They nurtured and built up the kids’ immune systems, helping to make them smart, strong, beautiful children. Completely removing that part of my body felt devastating.”

Jenni didn’t wallow in sadness though. Likening her battle with cancer to a frightening roller coaster she never wanted to ride, she knew she would have to hang on in order to save herself.

“With hands and fists clenched, I got on board,” she said.

“Gripping the bar and holding on tight, I rode towards fear with my eyes wide open and my cape

danced as well.

“We had just moved across the country and in with my parents to help with my dad’s recovery,” she said.

“It was new friends from the neighborhood who threw a pink party for me the weekend before my operation. They came with everything I could possibly need post surgery.”

That night she danced with them to Beyonce’s “Get Me Bodied” and posted the video online.

She also danced to Katy Perry’s “Roar” in a different video and again in the hospital’s hallway with her sister before her operation.

A year later Jenni is now cancer-free, has had reconstructive surgery and feels a deeper appreciation for the human spirit and the power of connecting.

“You never know what others are going through,” she said.

“But when you’ve been broken, you can suddenly enter into someone else’s brokenness, and rather than it being terrible, it is a sweet place to be because you can understand.”

That, I believe, is a beautiful analogy of acceptance, compassion, camaraderie and love. Jenni style.

flapping behind me.”

And, as expected, that roller coaster was full of unpredictable twists and turns, highs and lows.

She chose to openly share her experience with friends and family online and in person, and was astounded by the outpouring of love and support she received in return.

“I’ve been overwhelmed with the compassion people have shown us,” she said.

“Even by complete strangers.”

Jenni’s grandmother, cousin and two aunts have all won the fight against breast cancer and she credits them with being wonderful role models.

“My dad was also amazing,” she said.

“He fought an excruciatingly painful battle with cancer and was in recovery when I was diagnosed. Now he’s as strong as ever.”

Like the survivors in her family, my friend wouldn’t allow her disease to define her. She was dedicated to staying positive and figuring out ways to prepare emotionally and psychologically for her tumultuous journey.

Inspired by Deborah Cohan, a doctor who became a YouTube sensation after dancing in the operating room with the surgical and anesthetic team prior to her double mastectomy, Jenni

No government protects environment Editor: Re: Oil protest a slippery slope for cities (B.C. Views, Oct. 7).

Tom Fletcher’s analysis of jurisdiction regarding pipeline expansion and oil distribution in B.C. ignores one important fact. I have one postal address and one primary residence, one planet on which to live.

I also am governed by three political jurisdictions that are supposed to manage “the common good” on behalf of all. None do so. I pay taxes and idealize that some official somewhere will handle environmental issues in sustainable ways.

Not so. Such leaders are

situated within nongovernment organizations – who also want money.

No wonder I am an alienated citizen, disgusted with public sector overexpenditures and irresponsibilities regarding basic survival.

I do vote.

And I am delighted that some new faces and names are appearing on ballot lists. My hope is that other voters will listen to these unknown candidates. Somewhere among them are future leaders who will help guide us to a more viable Canada.

Nuclear-free zones worked for Kiwis Editor: Re: Oil protest a slippery slope for cities (B.C. Views, Oct. 7).

Tom Fletcher took a snide swipe at local politicians and municipal councils that declared their jurisdictions to be nuclear weapons-free zones.

“Did they really think we’re that stupid?” he asks.

Fletcher should know better than to denigrate the power of grassroots democracy and nowhere is it more powerful than

at the local level. This was unquestionably demonstrated in New Zealand where, in the early 1980s, a dictatorial conservative Prime Minister named Rob Muldoon ignored the overwhelming public opinion that New Zealand should not host nuclear-powered or nuclear-armed foreign warships.

Ignoring the ever-louder public protest, Muldoon continued to invite U.S. warships to visit New Zealand harbours and used his majority National government to run rough-shod over the will of the people.

Kiwis turned to their

local governments to give effect to their anti-nuclear principles.

Municipality after municipality voted to become nuclear free and they posted signs on their municipal boundaries.

Labour Party leader David Lange was no fool.

He read the writing on the signs and promised that if his party became the government, he would ban all nuclear-equipped warships from New Zealand waters.

In 1984, Labour swept into power in a landslide and followed through on Lange’s promise.

New Zealand is a

small peaceful country in the South Pacific but Kiwis stood up against the superpower bully tactics of Ronald Reagan and the U.S. military.

New Zealand took a beating economically but stood by its principle of opposing Cold War superpower nuclear alliances.

To this day New Zealand proudly remains nuclearfree and an example to the world.

The strategy may have been less successful in B.C. but there is nothing stupid about the effort nor the intent of the passionate British Columbians who tried.

Quesnel Cariboo Observer

Annie Gallant Lifestyles Editor

A little help from our friends ANNIE GALLANT Observer Reporter Thursday afternoon is a special day. For some of the painters who attend drop in sessions at the Arts and Recreation Centre its their favourite day of the week.

However, for all of them they eagerly await another chance to spend time in their favourite activities which include socializing, supporting, inspiring and of course painting.

Conversations wander from the latest painting technique to what’s planned for supper or the latest antics of their children or grandchildren.

One of Quesnel’s best known painters, Maggie Ferguson-Dumais, began dropin Thursday painting at the Friendship Centre in 1985 as a way to encourage and reach out to other local artists as well as share in the creative process.

Thursday painting then moved to the Arts and Recreation Centre once Ferguson-Dumais was hired as Quesnel’s first arts coordinator in 1991.

“Thursday painters has always been a welcoming activity to anyone interested in creating art, what new products are out there in the market and for sharing new techniques and ideas,” she said.

“Over the years, artists have come and left our Thursday afternoon sessions, but each has left their mark and a trail of interaction.

“We have no instruction, no leader, no one is in charge, just a bunch of artists getting together.”

The current show in the Quesnel Art

One of the newest members to the Thursday painters is Ellen Facey who left her career as an anthropologist and a university professor to pursue other parts of her complex self, specifically her artistic side. Always an art admirer and collector, Facey has begun her journey through artistic expression but is the first to admit its a work in progress.

Guadalupe Fuentes De Josephy is a Mexican painter and writer who has exhibited her work to critical and public acclaim.

For all these artists and others whose work is not exhibited in this show, Thursday afternoon is not a beginning or an ending but rather a moment in time, when those gathered support each other and share what’s new or recently learned. During the summer, Thursday painters use the warm summer afternoon for some outdoor painting at Top: back row: Maggie Ferguson-Dumais, Heather Smith, Sybille Muschik, Christa Krisman, Ellen each other homes, admiring the gardens, Facey; front row: Cleo Findley, Judith DeBrisay, Joan Ramsey-Harker, Jacquie Savard and Joan the unique homes and landscapes Bourke; below: Maggie Ferguson-Dumais and Cleo Findley get down to business. of where each artist executes their Annie Gallant photo inspirations.

iLumiDance transforms the stage into a world of mystery Abortion protest On Oct. 5 at 2 p.m., 42 concerned citizens of Quesnel spent one hour on Front Street holding signs to protest the continued abortions in this country and at G.R. Baker Hospital. Approximately 100,000 publicly funded abortions are performed each year in Canada including the ones at Quesnel’s hospital.

Quesnel Children’s Concerts presents iLumiDance, Oct. 21, 6:30 p.m. in Chuck Mobley Theatre, entertainment for the entire family.

Rainbow Dance Theatre’s ensemble of eight virtuoso dancers transforms the concert stage into a world of mystery, pathos and humour.

RDT’s repertory features modern works with roots in the traditions of many world cultures.

Combined with innovative aerial choreography, visually stunning interactive sets and the latest innovations in fiber optic and electroluminescent technology, the distinctive choreography creates an exotic feast for the senses.

The audience is transported into a magical world where humans morph into animals, flowers grow to amazing proportions and defy gravity with a humorous “Waltz of the Flowers” variation and serpents and owls disembody and reassemble or fall and recover “matrix” style in the blink of an eye.

Tickets for iLumiDance may be purchased for $8 each or $30 for a family of four or more at Bo Peep Boutique, Quesnel and District Arts and Recreation Centre or at the door.

Hospice & Palliative Care needs YOU! Ex-brothers-in-law Colin and Mitch take a moment on their Icelandic adventure.

Land Ho! is a funny, touching movie about aging, loneliness and friendship Quesnel Film Club presents one of the official selections of the 2014 Sundance Film Festival, Land Ho!, Oct. 23, 6:30 p.m. at the Carib Theatre.

This film is an utterly charming story of the bawdily comedic escapades of aged ex-brothers-in-law Colin and Mitch as they set off across Iceland’s firstclass cities, grand coastlines and hauntingly primordial countryside with the intent of getting their grooves back.

Disenchanted with life

after a forced retirement, former oculoplastic surgeon Mitch shows up on the recently divorced Colin’s doorstep with two tickets for an all-expenses-paid trip to the Land of the Midnight Sun. Mitch has planned a busy itinerary – luxury hotels, indulgent spas, picturesque hiking, renowned restaurants and trendy nightclubs – all in the interests of helping him and his long-time pal escape the monotony of their everyday lives back

home in America.

The off-beat pairing of the brash, unruly Mitch and the forlorn, mild-mannered Colin soon proves to be a perfect storm for trouble as they mull over art, baffle over molecular gastronomy and skip from lighthouses to lighting up.

Collaborating together for the first time, writerdirectors Martha Stephens and Aaron Katz further establish themselves as leading lights of contemporary American independent filming making.

With Land Ho! they’ve created a light, lively throwback to those 1980s road comedies we all loved while touching movingly on themes of aging, loneliness and friendship.

Tickets for Land Ho! are $9 (regular admission) and $7 (seniors) with film memberships included in admissions.

Museum Speaker Series presents author Jay Sherwood Chronicling the surveying of Southern and Northeastern B.C.

Join author Jay Sherwood Oct. 22 at 7 p.m. in the Council Chambers, Quesnel City Hall, 410 Kinchant St. for a presentation on his two most recent books.

Surveying Southern British Columbia is the final book in Sherwood’s

series documenting the life of prominent B.C. surveyor Frank Swannell.

This volume covers the beginning of his career from 1901 – 1907, when Swannell work on projects throughout southern British Columbia from the

Rocky Mountains to the west coast of Vancouver Island and from the international boundary as far north as Quesnel.

During this period he also courted his wife and his letters to her provide great insight into the life of a surveyor in the field.

Sherwood illustrates his talk with some of the 150 photographs taken by Swanell, which are included in the book.

He will also relate the adventures of the Milligan and Hart expeditions sponsored by the B.C. government to survey

northeastern B.C. Although they gathered a wealth of information, they were soon forgotten due to the outbreak of the First World War. On the centennial of these explorations, Sherwood has documented their accomplishments in his

book, In the Shadow of the Great War. This presentation is sponsored by the Quesnel and District Museum and Archives and The Friends of the Quesnel Library.

Admission is by Donation.

Copies of Sherwood’s books will be for sale.

The Quesnel Ladies Golf Club had a busy year.

Tuesday Ladies Days were well attended and included a monthly Scramble/ Dinner with very generous sponsorship from Attitude South, Tre Spa, Cutting Edge Hair Studio, Essential Balance Esthetics, Hi Chic and Blumko.

The Annual Barb Smith/Marj Jefferson Tournament was very successful taking place Aug. 15 – 17 with 48 entries (26 out of town and 22 local).

The weather cooperated beautifully with our local team of Rickey Deis and Nancy O’Flynn winning low gross and Tracy MacFarlane and Gail Kandall-Gaal from Prince George taking Low Net. The 50/50 draws raised $390 which was donated to Quesnel Palliative Care. A raffle of three baskets raised $525 for Cariboo Kidsport.

Cariboo Pulp and Paper generously contributed one of the baskets.

The Dorothy Olive Franklin Tournament had 20 golfers participate with proceeds donated to the Junior Girls Program.

Mary Braithwaite was winner and her results were forwarded to the zone eight competition.

The Match Play champion for 2014 is Yvette Vandeweghe.

The Ladies Club Championship was held Sept. 20 – 21. Kit Collins took Low Gross with Shirley Ritchie winning the Low Net. The season closed on a success, but it’s time to put aside the clubs and wait for next season.

It’s a rough start for the Kangaroos WHITNEY GRIFFITHS Observer Reporter Back on the ice but still working out the kinks the Kangaroos took a hard hit during the home opening weekend.

The ’Roos home opener had them facing off, for the second time in the season so far, against the Williams Lake Stampeders, Oct. 11.

The Stampeders quickly took

a strong lead, skating in for the first goal of the game eight minutes into the first period.

It was 3-0 when the ’Roos netted their first puck off a power play.

Curtis Gassoff, assisted by Tyrell Turgeon and Justin Fulton, took aim and slammed the puck past the Stampeders goalie for the ’Roos first goal of the night nearing the end of the first period.

However, at the end of the

first period the Stampeders held a two point lead and showed no signs of slowing as the buzzer called players back onto the ice.

Turgeon started off strong, scoring a goal unassisted within the first 50 seconds on the second period bring the score to 3-2 in favour of Williams Lake.

The ’Roos held their own on the ice, fending off the Stampeders tireless attempts

“We are going north this weekend. It’s been a bit of a rough start with some injury problems, but we definitely want to turn it around otherwise we are on the outside looking in.”

Coach Win Winofsky

to score for more than half the period.

At the start of the third period the ’Roos had managed to maintain their two point lead.

The Stampeders started the third and final period with determination, scoring three goals within the first six minutes of the play.

Thanksgiving day kick-off

This weekend several members of the QYSA travelled down to the North Vancouver Girls Thanksgiving Day Tournament with a Girl Cariboo United team, Oct. 10 – 13.

The team was composed of 12 girls from Quesnel and Prince George aged 14 – 16.

They competed in the highest level of competition for their age group.

Their competition included North Vancouver, Total Soccer Systems Academy in Vancouver and a BC Premier League team from the Thompson Okanagan.

The purpose of this trip was to give these motivated players the opportunity to play at a higher level than their usual club teams afford.

Their first match was with their hosts North Vancouver.

Kaitlyn Godsoe put them ahead with a goal late in the first half.

Seven minutes into the second half,Godsoe was tripped as she beat the last defender on the way to the net, the foul earned the Cariboo girls a penalty kick which Kyra Teetzen converted to their second goal.

The momentum of the two goal lead led to two more quick goals

by Lauren Osip and Mikaela Oliviera.

North Vancouver pushed back hard but was only able to score once late in the game. The match ended 4-1.

The next morning they faced the Total Soccer System Academy team which was eager to get a win after two losses the day before.

However, Teetzen scored early; the lead would hold for the balance of the first half.

The Total Soccer System team started strong in the second half and tied the game. An intense physical match ensued.

With only seconds left in the

game, Teetzen was tripped just inside the penalty box.

Again she converted the awarded penalty kick, scoring her third goal of the weekend to give Cariboo United a one goal lead and the win.

The Sunday afternoon match was against the Thompson Okanagan team.

Though the Okanagan squad would score three times, sharp counter attacks lead to a hat trick of goals for striker Godsoe and a 3-3 draw.

This would set up the Cariboo United Girls for a gold medal match with the Thompson Okanagan girls the next morning.

Though the Cariboo United girls played well, the extra depth of the Okanagan’s bench provided too much speed for the Cariboo girls.

They would claim silver after a 5-2 loss.

The Cariboo girls successfully improved their play over the weekend and proved they have the skills to compete with some of the best players in the province.

Coach Kam Dosanjh was “pleased with their ability to apply techniques worked on in practice and achieve a really high level of play.”

Cariboo United is a cooperative program to bring together likeminded players from Prince George, Williams Lake, 100 Mile House and Quesnel.

Though the rosters of the Cariboo United teams have varied during the 2014 season, boys and girls teams have attended tournaments in Surrey, Penticton, Chilliwack and North Vancouver this year.

Coaches Kam Dosanjh and Gilbert Schotel plan on continuing training throughout the winter with the help of their counterparts in the Cariboo.

Better luck next time From A17 The ’Roos who were struggling with a short bench at the start of the match, lost another two players to injuries during the game with Joey Macdonald having separated his shoulder and Ted Law suffering from a pulled groin.

“Joey should be back in a couple weeks, his shoulder separation wasn’t too bad, no ligament damage,” ’Roos general manager and trainer John Norman said.

It is a little more unclear when Law will be back in the action. Norman hopes to see Law back out and skating at the beginning of November if all goes well.

The Stampeders proved to be tough

competition for the already shorthand ’Roos.

The final goal on the night was scored by ’Roos Harley Gilks, assisted by Mitch Galbraith and Paul Girodat, bringing the game to a close with a score of 7-3 in favour of the Williams Lake Stampeders.

The ’Roos followed up their match against the Stampeders with a game against the Smithers Steelheads, Oct. 12.

The ’Roos briefly took the lead, with Justin Fulton assisted

by Allessio Tomassetti scoring the first goal of the night.

However, the Steelhead fought back quickly skating in to net two goals by the end of the first period taking them into the second period with a

one point lead.

The ’Roos seemed determined knock the Steelhead back down, quickly scoring two goals within the first two minutes of the second period.

Skating with a short bench, only 14 players, was taking its toll on the ’Roos and they were starting to slip. Smithers started the third period with a three-point lead and try as they might the ’Roos weren’t able to bounce back.

The Steelheads netted the final goal of the night bring the final score to 7-4.

Going three losses and no wins so far in the season the ’Roos are in a tough position and have a long road ahead of them if they have any chance of making playoffs, Norman remarked.

Even though both trucks are built on GM’s Global mid-size truck platform, they are targeted at two different buyers.

The GMC Canyon has more upscale features and a lavish cabin – something I wouldn’t have said before when it comes to midsize trucks – while the Colorado is more utilitarian in nature.

The transmission had a smoothness to it and the 8-inch touchscreen featuring Text Messaging Alerts and Siri Eyes Free are a bonus.

If you’re just hauling yourself, or a pair of jet skis around back, the GMC Canyon and Chevrolet Colorado can do the job. And they do it very well.

Pricing for the Chevrolet Colorado starts at an MSRP of $19,900 for the four-cylinder with the extended cab.

The GMC Canyon has a starting MSRP of $20,600 (both exclude a destination charge of $1,695).

When you are finished, you lift the blade back over the push frame into the transport position. The cost of this option is $1,644.

K2 is another brand of snowplow designed for the homeowner with acreage. Designed to work with a front receiver hitch, just like the Snowsport, it simply slides in the receiver and locks in place with a hitch lock. The winch is controlled from inside the cab and will raise or lower the height of the blade.

The blade comes with a hardened steel cutting edge scraper, rubber snow deflector, skid shoes, and plow markers. It is available in 82”, 84”, and 88” lengths. Cost is $1,315.

If you use your plow to make money, then you will want to be able to do the job quick and efficiently, so you may want to go with the multi-position. Multi-position plows are up to 50 percent faster because you can reposition the blades to all straight-blade positions in addition to the scoop and V positions. This makes the plow adaptable to nearly any job you need to do.

When it comes to the composition of the blade you have the choice between steel and poly. The vast majority of snowplows on the market today come with steel blades, although the poly plows are becoming more and more popular.

The reason for the growing popularity is that poly is just as strong as steel and maybe stronger. They also have a lower coefficient of friction, which saves on fuel costs and is easier on your vehicle. The poly plows are also saturated with color all the way through so nicks and scratches do not show like they do with steel, plus they do not rust.

Attaching and detaching the plow is very important as well.

You do not want to be freezing and trying to deal with getting a blade on and off your truck. Try the attachment system for yourself at the dealer so you can see firsthand how easy or difficult it is to use.

Most snowplow makers use a single halogen light bulb, which are not bright enough; some makers have come out with dual halogen bulbs with the option of upgrading to High Intensity Discharge. These HID lights are four times brighter than standard halogen bulbs and also last ten times as long.

Hydraulics is probably the most important part of the plow, along with the controls. Be sure that the hydraulics system is dependable and the controls are simple and easy to use. Go for quality rather than trying to save a buck. Remember “you get what you pay for” definitely applies here. Costs for these units are $6000 to $8000 depending on the model.

When it comes to the warranty be sure to know exactly what you are getting and what the warranty covers. Some only cover parts, while others cover parts and labor. Warranties are usually either one year or two years. ian.harwood@drivewaybc.ca

Rude driving manners Watched a car pull out of a gas station and take off in the curb lane like an F1 racer. A car planning to turn right in the second lane was signalling a move into that curb a second before the speeding car had entered the road. The speeder laid on his horn and gave the turner the finger. Technically, the speeder may have had the right to pass on the right but it was downright bad manners.
