The Fantasticks Kersley Musical Theatre (KMT) is at it again. Kersley hall was abuzz Sunday afternoon as the audience filed in and took their seats in eager anticipation of the performance to come. The Fantasticks was a bit of a departure for KMT cast and crew as the cast consisted of only eight actors and the sets were minimal but the performance was the same high calibre audiences have come to expect. Just preceding the opening act, cast and crew paid tribute to long-time member of KMT Bev Pontius who is currently facing serious health issues and couldn’t be part of the rehearsals or the performances. For the 10 years KMT staged musical plays, Pontius was the musical driving force playing the piano and much more for each production. With words of praise and a song in Pontius’ honour there was barely a dry eye in the hall. As is their custom, actors and crew quickly launched into the play. For the next two hours the audience was moved to laughter almost continuously and the performers delivered a first class opening performance (truth be told Johnathan Matheson and Denver Lamarch stole the show with their comedic style, however the other six actors also provided solid, commendable performances.) In this scene Matheson Mortimer (Matheson), left and Henri (Denver Lamarch), right confront Matt (Brodie Lamarch), centre as he finds out how difficult the world really is for a young man. The play runs until Saturday, Nov. 8 and tickets are still available at the door for evening performances. Annie Gallant photo

Clarification Incumbent city councillor John Brisco wishes to clarify his position on the front page story, Observer Oct. 31. Traffic used to travel southbound on Reid St. with angle parking on the left and parallel parking on the right. When the traffic was changed to northbound the parking was not reversed accordingly. This presents a problem that we have lived with for many years. Angle parking on the right positions the driver to see nothing as
they are backing out and the onus is on the person backing in to a line of traffic and drivers are trained to parallel park on the right and very often don’t do it well, but they do it less well on the left side of a one-way street. Angle parking on the left would allow the driver better visibility in backing up and put the parking back the way it should be. This would entail painting new lines on Reid Street at very low expense to tax payers.

Roodenburg: Voice of experience
For those that know me, committed to community is a given. My involvement in the community starts with various memberships in local service clubs, to sitting on many working committees for social service agencies. I am an executive member on the board of the North Central Local Government Association. In addition to my regular council duties I have been appointed to the safety and protection portfolio on council, am the council alternate to the Cariboo Regional District Board. I sit on the Labour Relations and the Audit committee. I also lead the Canada Day Working group and am the Chair of the North Cariboo Parks and Recreation Commission. I remain an active member of my community but I could not do this without the support of my husband and our two grown children. Aside from my commitment to our community, dedicated to progress means that we need to work on maintaining our
infrastructure – roads, water, and sewer. They need to be well-kept and updated in a wise and meticulous manner while remembering that we need to keep that balance of infrastructure needs versus taxation. We need to continue to make Quesnel a business friendly community so that opportunities do not pass us by when companies are looking to invest. We will continue to make Quesnel a safe community by working with our local RCMP and developing priorities that reflect the needs and concerns of our citizens. I want to be part of a team oriented council that will move our community into a future that reflects the resiliency of our resource sector, that creates new opportunities for diversity, and that gives our citizens a healthy and safe environment that they can call home. Committed to community, dedicated to progress. Nov. 15 vote Laurey-Anne Roodenburg, your voice of experience for city council.

Book signing set for Nov. 8 Dipnetting with Dad warmly embraced by public Set in the beautiful Cariboo Chilcotin, Dipnetting with Dad is a delightful and contemporary story of a father teaching his son the Secwepemc method of fishing known as dipnetting. Together they visit the sweat lodge, mend the nets, select the best fishing spot and catch and pack their fish through rugged bush back to the family home for traditional preparation. “Dipnetting with Dad brings me back to the days of imagination and freedom, to father and son time and being taught that fishing is a way of life. It reminds me that the cycle of life is continuous from one generation to the next,” Tk’emlups Chief Shane Gottfriedson said.

With Kim B.Sc. (Pharm) World Pneumonia Day is on Nov. 12. Pneumonia is the #1 killer of children under the age of 5 worldwide and is responsible for nearly one in five child deaths annually. Over 99% of these deaths occur in the developing world. This is very sad because pneumonia is a treatable illness. The solution is better access to vaccines, improved sanitation, promotion of breastfeeding and frequent hand washing as well as use of clean cookstoves to reduce indoor air pollution. Signing up for organ donation is a good thing. Nearly 80% of those on the transplant list are waiting for a kidney. It costs about $60,000 yearly to maintain someone on hemodialysis. A kidney transplant costs about $23,000 with about $6000 per year for medication. So one kidney donation can save approximately $250,000 in healthcare costs over 5 years. And it dramatically increases someone’s quality of life. Have you registered as an organ donor yet? At the end of the flu season, the flu virus seems to disappear. It doesn’t really but doesn’t spread as easily in the spring as in the fall and winter. Also flu shots give some immunity to the flu. Now is the time to improve your immunity to the flu this season. Put get my flu shot on your “to do” list today. Science is always changing. Our knowledge of the body, diseases and treatments is also evolving through building on past knowledge to produce new and better ways of managing health problems. That’s how science works.

“Willie’s great book took me back to my own days of fishing on the river. I loved the excitement of the fishing season which began with the first news brought by the Moccasin Telegraph that the fish were on their way up the river. “Willie’s detailed description of the process from ceremony to enjoying the final product is true to our culture. The Indigenous cultures have so much to share and this book contributes to the distribution of this knowledge,” Chief Bev Sellars, author of They Called Me Number One said.

We proudly wear the red poppy in remembrance of the noble and brave who gave their lives in the defense of freedom and to show respect to our veterans. Red is the colour of sacrifice, blood, and our flag, that represents all Canadians. This year marks the 100th anniversary of the start of the First World War, a defining moment in Canada’s history. It is said that the First World War marked Canada emerging as a country, a world leader, and a beacon for freedom, democracy, human rights and the rule of law. This year is especially poignant. Two of Canada’s finest were recently murdered in separate incidents. Warrant Officer Patrice Vincent died after being struck down by a car in St-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Que., and Cpl. Nathan Cirillo was shot last week in Ottawa, as he stood guarding Canada’s National War Memorial in Ottawa. Watching cadets, veterans, soldiers and the general public participate over the past two week to honour these two men and honour all of those who fell and fought before them by standing guard at cenotaphs and monuments around Canada, I feel, has brought all of us much closer together as a country. Seeing RCMP officers and veterans standing guard in Quesnel certainly brought our community together as many people stopped to shed a tear, say thanks or to snap a photo and share with their friends and family and re-tribute our veterans. I wanted to take this opportunity to also talk about a cause Paul Nichols (one of the veterans who stood guard at the Quesnel cenotaph), and his wife Terry, are working on called Communities for Veterans, the ride across Canada. The ride is scheduled to start in the spring of 2015 and take 200 days to cross Canada and is meant to support veterans and create awareness and encouragement about the physical and mental challenges Canadian Veterans experience when returning home. I invite you to visit their Facebook page, Communities for Veterans, The Ride Across Canada. Thank you to those who continue to serve, for your bravery that is so humble and thank you for choosing to wear this country’s flag on your uniform. Those who have been lost to us live on in our hearts and we will continue to keep their stories alive by honouring them on Remembrance Day.

Right response
Quesnel Cariboo Observer
C
anada’s response to the shootings last week on Parliament Hill in Ottawa demonstrated exemplary action from the men and women who are tasked with protecting us, a resistance to sensationalist coverage from the media and an immediate willingness to cooperate amongst all political parties. After Cpl. Nathan Cirillo was shot by Michael Zehaf-Bibeau, who then made a beeline for the Centre Block of the Parliament Buildings, the security forces there did their duty. They tried to stop him at the main entrance. They followed the man as he headed down the Hall of Honour and continued to exchange gunfire with him. Finally, Sergeant-at-Arms Kevin Vickers was able to fire at him and bring him down. The media coverage of the events of the day was ongoing, but it was not filled with over-reactions. Instead, it was done in a moderate tone, with facts relayed as they became available. An investigation is underway, and it includes a detailed look at a video the shooter left behind. The federal government needs to take the same approach – move slowly and not overreact. The attack clearly demonstrated a need for better security at the Parliament Buildings. Part of this may be due to a variety of forces being responsible for various aspects of security, but access to Parliament through the front door is too easy. It is also important to remember that, as tragic and troubling as Cirillo’s death is, many others have also lost their lives in service to their country. Warrant Officer Patrice Vincent, 53, was killed in a hit and run in St.-Jeansur-Richelieu, Que., two days before the attack on Parliament, by a man identified by the RCMP as a ‘high-risk’ traveller. The federal government has said the attack was linked to ‘terrorist ideology.’ That gives rise to a stronger need than ever for all political parties to co-operate more often, as shown in Thursday’s extraordinary actions in the House of Commons. Parties can and should disagree – but they can also unite on many measures to make Canada safer and fight this new type of “lone wolf” terrorism. Canadians would greatly appreciate a parliament that works for them, not just for partisan advantage. –Black Press
Hot gases spew from legislature T
he climate debate, which all leftthinking people insist is over, has erupted in the B.C. legislature over our nascent liquefied natural gas industry. Chilliwack-Hope B.C. Liberal MLA Laurie Throness heated things up by announcing that he’s “agnostic” on the subject of human-caused global warming. The religious terminology is intentional, he said, because this is how climate change is currently discussed – deniers, believers and so on. Throness mentioned the inflated elephant in the room, 18 years with little or no average global surface temperature rise, even as greenhouse gas emissions keep rising around the world. Needless to say, Green Party MLA and climate scientist Andrew Weaver was aghast at this heresy. And NDP MLAs lined up behind former Sierra Club high priest George Heyman to ridicule Throness, inadvertently proving his point about their rather nasty religious zeal. I’m also skeptical on global warming, as regular
Tom Fletcher
B.C. Views readers will know, and so are many voting adults in Canada and elsewhere. And I agree with Throness’ main point that B.C. shouldn’t sacrifice its energy economy while the jury is still out. Most politicians who presume to decide the fate of this vital and threatened industry have at best visited a well or plant site, and media information about the industry is often from questionable protesters. So today I’d like to provide some background on the natural gas industry, as someone who grew up with it and worked in it in northeastern B.C. Natural gas is mostly methane, the main ingredient in farts. It is many times more potent than carbon dioxide as a heat-trapping gas in the atmosphere, which is one reason it is often flared
LNG stage, which is the only thing the new rules regulate. CO2 that comes up with gas is extracted and vented. A government-subsidized pilot project to capture and store CO2 at Spectra Energy’s operations at Fort Nelson seems to be going nowhere. Restricting LNGrelated emissions is mostly a cosmetic gesture. Environment Minister Mary Polak correctly notes that gas producers pay carbon tax. Yes, but only on the fuel they use, not “process emissions” such as flaring. Big LNG proponents plan to burn more gas to compress and cool LNG, and their greenhouse gas emissions beyond a certain limit will force them to buy carbon offsets or pay into a technology fund. If LNG investment isn’t scared away by protests and piled-on taxes, it surely means B.C.’s greenhouse gas reduction targets are history. The question now is how much that actually matters.

rather than vented if it isn’t captured for use as fuel. Raw natural gas may contain carbon dioxide, a key plant food and component of exhaled breath that has been rebranded as pollution. Gas from the Horn River Basin, one of B.C.’s largest deep shale formations, contains 10 per cent or more CO2, more than conventional gas. B.C.’s most lucrative gas field is the Montney shale around Fort St. John, which contains nearly CO2free gas as well as light petroleum liquids. (This is similar to the Bakken shale in North Dakota, where American roughnecks continue to burn off vast amounts of gas to get at the more valuable light liquids. Oddly, President Barack Obama and former Canadian singer Neil Young don’t notice this.) Weaver and the NDP are correct in their main objection, which is that the B.C. government’s new limits on CO2 from LNG production are a sham. As much as 70 per cent of the total greenhouse gas emissions from the gas industry occur before the

Editor: Speaking about the proposed Multiplex that Quesnel needs, mayoral candidate Bob Simpson states in his October 21 Blog/Forum that “a small community in Saskatchewan built a 1,500 seat arena/ conventions Centre and gym complex in 2011 with $20 million from senior levels of government---$8million from the federal government verses our zero” and “ I fail to understand why our Conservative MP has not delivered a penny to this project despite the current Mayor’s (Mary Sjostrom) claim that she has friendly relations with the Harper government” and “the lack of federal funding is really why the multi-centre did not proceed and now we’re only getting an arena.” Now the facts Simpson didn’t mention: In 2009, the federal government announced the New Building Canada Infrastructure Program. It was a three way program that partnered the federal, provincial, and local governments. The criteria was agreed upon by the federal and provincial governments, and that criteria did indeed include sports centres’, ice arenas, performing arts centres and the like. The first level of approval was given, in our case to the B.C. provincial government. Mayor Sjostrom and her civic officials worked tirelessly to prepare what I believed to be a very good proposal in support of funding for the project. I as the local MP supported Mayor Sjostrom in her efforts to secure this funding. The proposal was submitted. The federal government was ready to submit their share of the funding and all seemed to be in order. However at that time the B.C. government was not prepared to make their $4M

feedback
contribution and as a result the three-way partnership was not possible. Another Multi-Centre proposal was then prepared and sent in by the Cariboo Regional District, it did not receive partnered funding from the BC government either. It should be pointed out that the small town in Saskatchewan that completed their $20 million plus complex had indeed applied under the first phase of the Federal program in 2009, and had their proposal approved by the Province of Saskatchewan, who also had the first level of approval under the federal – provincial agreements. I feel Mr. Simpson overlooked the fact that when the second phase of the New Building Canada Program came out, there was no criteria that allowed for the building of sports centres’, Multiplex’ or Arts Centres. And to date there has not been a federal program that allowed for such projects. Mayor Sjostrom has lobbied hard and constant for the Multi-Centre funding and now the arena funding, and notwithstanding that the province came up with $4 million, there has not been a federal program that the money could be partnered with and as a results there has been no match by the feds. I feel Bob Simpson has overlooked the facts surrounding the MultiCentre/arena funding efforts in an effort to take pot shots at the person who worked harder than anyone to get the funding, Mayor Sjostrom. He can blame the federal government all he wants, he can blame the provincial government all he wants but his criticism of Mayor Sjostrom is greatly misplaced. Dick Harris MP Cariboo-Prince George

The fort is quite interesting from an historical perspective. During the American Civil War, it was originally built by the north to guard against an infiltration from the sea by the Confederate forces from the south. It remained an active military base through the first and second world wars. It even holds the distinction of being the only place on the U.S. mainland the Japanese forces attacked during WWII.

We stopped and saw the spray from their spouts and their huge tails as they dove down to the depths of the bay. We also saw grey seals who had a well-developed skill of walking on their bellies to make it across the flat rocks they were lounging on. Almost like a break dancing move! Our journey wasn’t all riding on the coast however. We were treated to an inland detour that took us on the beautiful Slab Creek Road between Neskowin and Lincoln City. As the road rose up to a summit we entered the Cascade Head Experimental Forest. Clearly the experiment is working. A wide variety of huge

Lots of light entering through the canopy above and of course the moist climate to make it all happen. It was a ride we won’t forget. The summit came after eight kilometres of climbing and then we were treated to an equal amount of zooming downhill. Couldn’t be better. Back on the coast, Heather found her warm sunshine and immense beaches to comb. At Cape Lookout she even braved the cool Pacific water and waded in.

With our daily progress south, we have passed the sun in it’s path towards the equator. In Newport, it felt like July/August in Quesnel. That’s exciting. As we’ve progressed south through North Bend, Charleston and Port Orford, we’ve seen the landscape change again. Dry grass hillsides along Hwy. 101 remind us of places in B.C. and Port Orford has a rugged coastline that has taken over from the dunes that make up a huge section of Oregon’s Pacific Coast. In our next story, we’ll make our way across the California border through the giant redwoods as we head south to San Francisco and our foray into the Bay area.

QFC presents A Trip to Italy
This film is wickedly funny and a culinary delight Quesnel Film Club presents A Trip to Italy, Nov. 6, 6:30 p.m. at the Carib Theatre. A savoury mixture of character comedy, spectacular landscapes and unabashed food porn, A Trip to Italy is marvellous, witty fun with something for everyone. Last seen together touring the culinary circuit of Northern England’s Lake District in The Trip, the dynamic duo of Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon return for seconds in this much-anticipated sequel, trading drab-grey British skies for the glorious Italian coastline. When London’s Observer once again commissions Coogan to write a series of restaurant reviews, the egotistical would-be superstar rounds up his cheerful friend/nemesis Brydon and sets out for la bella Italia.
Partly retracing the steps of the great Romantic poets Percy Shelley and Lord Byron, the pals pile in to a quintessentially Italian Mini and take off from northern Piemonte, making a stop in Liguria and then heading south to Capri and the sun-dappled Amalfi Coast. Along the way, between
bits of succulent seafood and mounts of pasta, the pair riff on everything from Alanis Morissette and Batman to family and the realities of middle age. And as they did on their first Trip, these gifted mimics offer a repertoire of wickedly hilariously accurate celebrity impersonations.
Tickets for A Trip to Italy are $9 (regular) and $7 (seniors) with film club membership included in price of admission. For information on this film or the film club call 250-747-7422 or 250-747-3979, join the Facebook page at Quesnel Film Club or visit www. quesnelfilmclub.ca.

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, do the right thing even if it costs you something emotionally. Your actions may be carefully monitored, and someone is learning by your example. LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, try your hardest to make a tricky set of circumstances work to your advantage. Working with a partner is a great way to get things done.
SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, do not look at a current problem as something that will always block your success and happiness. Instead, use this obstacle as a way to get your bearings. CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, though you may feel like lashing out at others, this week you show an impressive amount of self-restraint. Get through the week, and things will turn around. AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 The messages you are receiving from everyone around you seem mottled and mixed, Aquarius. Instead of socializing with others, maybe you just need some alone time. PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, speak up if you do not feel you are receiving enough emotional support from your closest allies. Maybe they do not know how you’re feeling. FAMOUS BIRTHDAYS

45% of all collisions with wildlife occur between 7:00 p.m. and midnight. Sadly missed by family and friends. Remember to take care and shower the people you love with love.
The moment that you left, my heart split in two, One filled with memories, the other left with you, I often lay awake at night, when the world’s fast asleep. And take a walk down memory lane, with tears upon my cheek. Remembering you is easy, I do it everyday. But missing you is a heartache, that never goes away. I hold you tight in my heart, and there you will remain, Life goes on without you, But it will never to the same. Love you forever your wife Grace, of 65 years and family.
