Shop Quesnel, take a selfie and win money AUTUMN MacDONALD Observer Reporter Gold Pan residents have less than three weeks to shop local, snap a pic and score some cash. The 2014 Shop Quesnel Photo Contest, a partnership between The Quesnel Community and Economic Development Corporation (QCEDC), the Chamber of Commerce, Community Futures, Quesnel Downtown Business Association, South Quesnel Business Association and West Quesnel Business Association, has
been working with many local businesses to promote shopping in Quesnel through online sources. The contest closes Dec. 15 and is as easy as snapping a selfie. Shoppers are simply asked to post photos of their local purchases to Facebook, Instagram or Twitter with the hashtag #IBoughtItInQuesnel for a chance to win a weekly prize of up to $100. Two recent winners in the photo contest include Jen Simpson who posted her purchase from Mark’s Work Wearhouse and Bri-

anne Garvin who shared a photo of her brand new car from Quesnel Toyota. Both ladies walked away with prizes of $100. So far a total of eight lucky winners have been chosen. The idea behind the contest came after a survey was conducted earlier this year. From that survey a number of interesting facts were brought to light, including: • 85 per cent of surveyed residents shop local because it supports the local economy in Quesnel. • 49 per cent of surveyed
residents use Facebook to influence where they shop. • 79 per cent of surveyed residents choose to shop local versus out of town because local business give back to the community. “I use social media a lot to promote my business so I think this contest is a great idea,” Bo Peep Boutique owner, Sarah Shipley said. “The incentives are really great, plus anything that helps convince people to shop locally is always beneficial.” “We are very supportive

of the #IBoughtItInQuesnel Photo Contest. It is a great way for businesses to promote their stores and engage with their customers using social media,” Executive Director of the Quesnel Downtown Business Association, Ashley Schmidt said. According to a survey done by the provincial government, small businesses on average create a little over 100,000 jobs each year, while mediumsized and large businesses create about 17,000 and 11,800 jobs each year.
In addition it’s estimated that for every $100 spent at a local business, $46 goes back into the local economy vs. $18 re-circulated by big business. Residents have from now until Dec. 15 to post their purchase picture with more than $1,000 in prizes to still be given away.

Cash, cocaine and weapons seized
Cocaine and brass knuckles were among the items seized during a search warrant this week. Shortly after 2 p.m. Nov. 18 the Quesnel RCMP GIS / Drug Section executed a Search Warrant on a residence located in the 600 block of Rolph Street in Quesnel. A quantity of cocaine and marijuana together with packaging material, scales and money were seized
during the search. Police also located and seized a loaded rifle, brass knuckles and multiple knives from the residence. A 25-year-old Quesnel man was arrested and faces charges of possession of cocaine for the purpose of trafficking, possession of a prohibited weapon and careless use of a firearm. He was released on court documents and strict conditions and is set to
make his first appearance in court Jan. 27, 2015 in Quesnel. “The weapons seized as a result of this search warrant serve as a reminder of the inherent dangers of illegal drug activity,” Constable Krista Vrolyk General Investigation Section with the Quesnel RCMP said. “The Quesnel RCMP remain committed to taking illegal drugs off the
streets and bringing those responsible for trafficking them to justice.” Anyone with any information about illegal drug activity is asked to contact the Quesnel RCMP Drug Section at 250-9929211.

Seniors Christmas Lights Tour back by popular demand ANNIE GALLANT Observer Reporter
For many years the Christmas Lights Tour chauffeured seniors around the community to see the beautiful Christmas Lights homeowners had festooned their homes with. However, as with all good things those tours came to an end in 2012 and Susan MacNeill just didn’t want that to be a permanent loss to both the seniors and the community. So for this year she has scrambled making phone calls and arrangements to resurrect this well-loved tradition, at least for this year. With a lot of discussion and arranging, two buses have been secured for a Dec. 10 Christmas Lights Tour for Seniors. Each bus seats 44 people and both buses
will make two tours so obviously its important to sign up early to ensure you have a seat on one of these 45-minute runs. Sign up sheets are in Golden Centre, Seniors Activity Centre and the Legion. The first bus tour leaves the Legion Parking Lot at 6 p.m. and the second tour at 7 p.m. Coffee and tea along with cookies supplied by Ray Blackmore will be served at the Legion after the tour. The tour is dependent on weather -10C or colder these tours are cancelled as the buses are not that warm. Make sure you wear warm clothes and a smile. Ric Raynor and Susan MacNeill are the bus drivers for this evening’s light tour and thanks to BP Scouting and South Shore Auto for the loan of their buses.

Volunteering, its own intrinsic reward
I
n my last column, I finished off with a reflection of how a lack of recognition and appreciation diminished my experience as a volunteer in the school system. I think that statement warrants further explanation. The distinction between teacher and volunteer is a very fine line and is often blurred. Much of what happens in a school is done with volunteer labour and just as when I started teaching 35 years ago, sometimes it’s done reluctantly. For example, I never liked the Christmas concert. I am not musically inclined and any preparations for a Christmas concert that involved me as the director typically created a lot of stress. The day of the concert usually involved three performances, including a dress rehearsal that everyone sat through. Keeping a class of primary students attentive and wellbehaved through what was sometimes a very long production, created more stress. Then there were the public performances, one in
Rick Prosk
Why I Volunteer the afternoon and one in the evening. Over the last few years, I spent that time playing bingo with the students because for me, that was the easiest, most stressfree way to pass the time. The two hours that I spent at the school in the evening was definitely outside my teaching time, yet I was rarely thanked for being there. It is so easy for parents to think what teachers do is always part of their job, especially if it’s gone on for so long that it becomes routine. For many years I spent Friday afternoons in the gym supervising drop-in floor hockey sessions for students who wanted to play. I often made a point of reminding students
that I was there as a volunteer, giving up my time on a Friday afternoon while other teachers had already started their weekend plans. Was I looking for thanks or recognition? I don’t think so… I was reminding students that they were only there because I chose to be there, that if they didn’t listen and make it an enjoyable experience for me, that I could easily choose not to do it. This is, I think, an important reminder for children so they don’t take what they have for granted. I was always appreciative of the students and parents who took the time to thank me when floor hockey was over. This brings up another point,

one that my son is currently working through with his eleven-year-old daughter: the idea of gratitude. It’s not so much that a volunteer needs to be recognized for what they do. I think most volunteers do what they do because they get rewarded by the experience itself – it is its own intrinsic reward. But those who benefit from the work of a volunteer, especially children, can definitely enhance that experience by expressing their gratitude with a few simple words of thanks. This is true whenever someone provides service to another, even if they are paid to do it. Children need to
learn at an early age to appreciate what they are given, so that in turn, they can learn to freely give back to others, and perhaps receive their appreciation as well. To teach this requires diligence on the part of their parents. It also requires the parents to recognize when someone’s efforts warrant appreciation, and this seems to be disappearing. We live in an increasingly selfcentred society, where many people feel entitled to say whatever they want, act however they want, all without any regard to what the consequences might be. See PAGE A7

CAPSULE COMMENTS
With Kim B.Sc. (Pharm) It’s not too often you find a scientific textbook that was written 156 years ago and is still in print. The book is Gray’s Anatomy (not the TVs show), written in 1858 by Henry Gray, a London doctor and surgeon. The book is in its 40th printing and is still used by the medical community today. The amount of weight a pregnant women gains is proportional to her normal body weight. A rough guideline is: if you are underweight (BMI less than 18.5), weight gain should be 28 to 40 lb; normal weight (BMI 18.5-24.9): 25-35lb; overweight women (BMI 25-29.9): 15-25lb; obese (BMI 30+): 11-20 lb. However, the final decision on how much weight you should gain still rests with your doctor. It’s that time of year again when we become more aware of passing on viruses and bacteria to our friends and family. Shaking hands has become so part of everyday life but it can be a source of infection transfer. Ideas suggested as a substitute include fist or elbow bumping or even a bow. Hard to change ingrained habits but it’s worth considering. We have vaccines to protect agains Hepatitis A and B but none for Hepatitis C. Baby Boomers (born from 1945 to 1965) show the greatest rates of Hep. C because they may have been infected in the 70s and 80s when rates of Hep C were high and blood wasn’t screened as well as it is today. If you think you’ve been exposed, you can be tested.

Obituary Tribute
YVONNE HENDRY
Dec. 15, 1917 - Nov. 15, 2014
We regret to announce the passing of Yvonne Hendry, on November 15th 2014, at a rest home in Chilliwack, one month short of her 97th birthday. Yvonne is survived by her daughters Donalda Witt, Joy Russell and brother Thomas Moffat, as well as many nieces, nephews, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. She was predeceased by her parents Ella and Roddy Moffat, brother Ronald Moffat, sister Lorna Archibald, William Moffat and her husbands Donald Foster, Eric Whiting and Robert Hendry. Yvonne was loved and respected by all, she was a true lady, proud and dignified. Yvonne diligently worked most of her life serving the public with grace and respect - in large working in ladies wear. She participated in most sports as a young lady, then in her sixties, seventies and eighties started and enjoyed many sports new to her as well as getting a hole in one at the Dragon Lake golf course when she was 82. She continuously knitted sweaters and socks that were both beautiful and practical. Even in her later years she continued to keep in touch with her school companions and friends she made through her well lived life. A memorial service will be held in the summer of 2015, in Quesnel, B.C.

s there a place for acts of conscience in our society? Protesters on Burnaby Mountain have proven they feel strongly enough about stopping a proposed Kinder Morgan oil pipeline that they are willing to be arrested. No doubt there are many who will dismiss their protests as foolish and misguided. Others will not envy the hassles that inevitably attend being arrested and charged. But there are those, too, who will view their actions as heroic and principled, and will privately wish that they had the courage to take a stand against something they feel, on a very deep and fundamental level, is wrong. To those arrested, it is all the price of making a statement. It is not a price they wish to pay. It is one, they say, they feel compelled to endure. Their actions force us to assess where we stand on the issue – or indeed any issue that disturbs us. They pose questions that are not easy to answer, that call for considerable soulsearching. How many of us would be willing to put our comfort and name on the line, to back our word – easily given – with unequivocal action? And what would be the tipping point that would compel each of us to similar protest? Although Kinder Morgan president Ian Anderson says the company wants to respect the “right of peaceful protest,” the fact is that our society gives scant respect to protest, peaceful or not. Dissent is not popular in our society. The conventional wisdom is that governments always have good and just reasons to act as they do, that lies are never told to voters and that business interests always act for the good of humanity. Anyone who believes otherwise is swiftly dismissed as a ‘conspiracy theorist.’ Yet we have discovered time and time again that governments can be wrong, and that conspiracies – sometimes on a grand scale – do exist. If the past 100 years of world history has taught us nothing else, it has taught us that. Without the right to dissent, without the right to protest, we have no business pretending we live in a democracy. – Black Press
Liquor changes could push up prices
W
hen the B.C. government announced its latest changes to liquor distribution, the reaction was not what I expected. Private store representatives complained bitterly that the government is allowing further expansion of fridges and “cold rooms” in selected government liquor stores, and longer operating hours that include more Sunday openings. Those hours, along with non-union staff, are the private stores’ big advantages as things stand in B.C.’s hybrid liquor retailing system. The B.C. Government Employees’ Union didn’t seem at all perturbed that state-run stores’ key advantage was also going to be gone effective April 1. That would be preferential wholesale pricing, in which the government’s monopoly wholesaler sells to them at cost and to private stores at higher rates. How much higher? Liquor Distribution Branch officials were carefully vague on that, and it varies depending on which of the 22 wholesale categories you look at. They released
Tom Fletcher
B.C. Views a graph that suggests the average wholesale cost to government stores might be going up 10 to 15 per cent to create a “level playing field” with private stores. That wholesale price difference is the main reason private stores have generally higher retail prices. And the majority of the province’s revenue of nearly $1 billion a year comes from this monopoly wholesale business, where the hidden tax is coyly termed a “markup.” When the new, simplified system comes in next spring, a bottle of hard liquor will have a “mark-up” of 124 per cent. That’s right, LDB more than doubles the price with its wholesale liquor tax. And if it’s premium booze, anything valued at more than $21 a litre will get an extra luxury tax on top of that.
retail arm will continue to operate in some places as a perverse social program, subsidizing retail clerk jobs that pay nearly twice what private retail pays. And let’s face it, running a till at a liquor store is not rocket surgery. Private and government store staff have to take the same training, and liquor inspector sting operations have increased vigilance on ID checks in all stores. With higher wholesale prices applied to government stores, this kind of artificial support will cost more. The only way LDB could maintain it without subsidizing it from the wholesale windfall would be to raise retail prices. The LDB says this new simplified system is “not intended to impact consumer pricing.” Note the careful choice of words. Oh, one last thing. There is another new tax in the works. It will be applied to higher-alcohol beverages, in an effort to reduce adverse health effects.

Coolers and ciders will see a 73 per cent markup. Wines are taxed at 89 per cent, with extra luxury tax on premium wines. Beer gets a per-litre tax with ascending rates for small, medium and large breweries. Then of course there is federal and provincial sales tax applied to all of it. Cheers! Premier Christy Clark acknowledged that the first guiding principle of this overhaul is to keep that government revenue coming. The new BCGEU president, Stephanie Smith, doesn’t sound like your bullhorn-toting socialist of yore. She insists she’s gung-ho to compete head to head with those private interlopers and get back some lost market share, particularly on the highvolume cold beer sales. The union has another ace in the hole. Its current contract stipulates that LDB can’t close stores. In some small towns there are government stores that lose money, particularly since they’ve had more private competition. But at least for the duration of this BCGEU contract, the government

The importance of expressing gratitude from A5 I have witnessed more and more adults behaving badly, simply because they didn’t get what they wanted immediately and to their satisfaction. If parents are unhappy with their child’s hockey or soccer coach, do they take the time to consider that the coach is a volunteer, doing what they can under what may be trying circumstances. Whether volunteering as a coach, or getting paid as a referee, no one is going to continue giving their time to do something
Letters to the Editor
they don’t enjoy and being respectful (and occasionally expressing gratitude) can go a long way toward making the volunteer experience more enjoyable. This leads me to organizational expressions of gratitude. Many volunteers are part of a larger organization, and how important is it the organization that benefits from their efforts recognizes the work of its volunteers? I think it needs to be done, even at the risk of appearing stilted and phoney. In Special Olympics, we
provide coaches with an annual dinner at which we give thanks for their efforts over the past year. We have also instituted a coaching award that will recognize one coach per year for his or her passion and dedication. The provincial organization provides a pin for every five years of volunteer service. There are also provincial awards offered to coaches and volunteers. If I go back to my volunteer work as a teacher, it would have been nice to have
some recognition and appreciation shown from my employer. I did get thanks from my principals, most notably Cyril Tobin when I worked at Voyageur, but from the senior administrators and school board, nothing in my 35 year career. Is it the role of an employer to recognize employees who go out of their way to benefit the company or their fellow employees? Well, yes, if it brings some benefit to the company, and having
healthier, happier employees is always a benefit to the company. In the case of the school board, having children engaged in extra-curricular activities benefits them socially, emotionally, and physically, and it would have been nice as a teacher to have been recognized for that once in a while. As my wife has reminded me, as a volunteer, if I’m not happy with what I am doing, I can always choose not to do it.
And I think we saw over the last four weeks of the school year, when teachers were forbidden from working over the lunch hour and past 3 p.m., thereby cancelling a multitude of planned extra-curricular activities, teachers as volunteers do a lot to enhance the learning experiences of children in school. Take those experiences away, and school becomes a lot less fun place to be. Rick Prosk is a long-time Gold Pan citizen and an avid volunteer supporter.

Having worked for four years with the site-based mentoring programs for the organization, Riley knew she was stepping into a much large role but was up for the challenge. “My job now includes my site-based programs and the community-based programs as well as administration and public relations requirements,” she said with a smile. “It always takes time for the public to realize there’s a new hand on the tiller.” Riley believes BBBSQ provides a positive relationship for a child and that stays with them for the rest of their lives. “That’s why our volunteer mentors in all our programs are so passionate about what they do and that certainly extends to our staff and board,” she said.

they do, would like to make a donation or get involved with any of the programs. “We also maintain a collaborative relationship with other youthbased community organizations,” she added. For families looking to match a Big Brother or Big Sister with one of their children, Riley encourages them to drop by the office anytime, either she or Joanie Newman are there during the day. “We want them to have a conversation about their needs regarding their child or children,” she said. “We then meet with the child and find out their interests, strengths and needs.” From their very first visit the family is embraced by BBBSQ and becomes part of the organization’s family. The child or children are added to the list of those waiting to be matched but regardless they are invited on group
outing activities. Big and Little matches are the foundation of the BBBSQ organization and in today’s society the family dynamics change for a variety of reasons, Riley said. “We have increased demand for services and increased demand for mentors,” she said. “But this program is still vital to many of our community’s children.”
For those considering becoming a mentor, they must be 19 years or older and they are also invited to drop by the office anytime or e-mail bbbsques@goldcity.net. “Prospective mentors need to provide, in addition to filling out the application, three references and have a clean criminal record check and vulnerable sectors check,” Riley said.
She went on to say they would then meet with Riley for an interview in order to get to know them, their interests and intentions which also includes a home check. Then on to orientation and training. Riley added she has all the training, skills and assessment tools to make decisions on who is suitable for the program. “Once completed, we then find a child on the list where things match,” she said. “Sometimes what may seem to be a questionable match can be a lifetime friendship, which is always a wonderful thing to witness.” She also said matches are monitored on an ongoing basis to ensure its success. BBBSQ is always looking for volunteers both bigs and littles as well as other mentoring opportunities in the site-based programs which include, teen
mentoring, Go Girls and Game On, which are run from schools and help build self-esteem as well as other character development aspects. These programs are no cost to the children. “I’d like to build capacity and partnerships for our existing programs,” she said. “I would love to see these programs in all the schools. It has seriously positive benefits to the students.” If Riley had to chose a favourite program she admitted its the teen mentoring program. “It’s a unique opportunity to see two stages of child development interacting in such a positive way.” Michelle Riley is excited about her new positive with BBBSQ and says she’d love to have a conversation with everyone in the community so she could tell them of the great services offered by the organization. “We want people to know that every donation and every volunteer hour and all the support we receive is truly appreciated,” she said. “BBBSQ makes a difference thanks to this support.”

Ramona Nordal looks back on her roots in Quesnel ANNIE GALLANT Observer Reporter
Born and raised in Quesnel, artist Ramona Nordal has just had her work accepted for the Artist Project, the most celebrated contemporary art fair in Toronto. Nordal has been living in Toronto for just under two years and devoting her time to her art career focusing on acrylic painting with a central theme that unites all her work in a portrayal of strength, determination and perseverance. “The majority of my work focuses on women and their resilience,” she said. “I feel there are far
Ramona Nordal too many women who have trouble coping with life and are desperately looking for that little bit of strength to push them through the hard times. I hope, with my artwork, I am able to provide this
strength and to perhaps assist them in their journey to a much happier, fulfilling life.” Nordal went on to say she paints from her experiences, from her struggles and her triumphs. Colour also plays an important role in the message she delivers. “When I begin a new painting, I decide on the colours first and from there I begin to piece together the main subject,” she said. Drawing inspiration from daggeurotype photography, 60’s pop art, fashion trends as well as iconic sculpture, Nordal describes her subjects as the calm after the storm which her work represents,
the victory after the struggle that intrigues her and the creative drive to paint as a catalyst of hope. As a youth in Quesnel, she remembers one teacher fondly, Marilyn VanLeusden. “She always went above and beyond to offer her students a positive creative outlet,” Nordal said. By Grade 12 she knew she wanted to pursue an art career and against many odds, but with the full support of her family, was accepted to study at Emily Carr University of Art and Design in Vancouver. She encourages anyone with a passion for art to follow their dreams. “Figure out what
medium excites you most and then work as much as you can to develop your style,” she recommended. “Lastly, spend as much time as you can creating and when you’re not creating or sleeping, familiarize yourself with the art world.” Accepted for this juried show in Toronto is huge for Nordel. “I’m looking forward to the opportunities which lie ahead and showcasing my work in the Artist Project, with such an amazing group of artists is remarkable. The show, Feb. 19 – 22, 2015, features works of art from more than 250 top contemporary artists from Canada and abroad.
I would like to extend a huge THANK YOU to Quesnel for all your support. I look forward to serving you with pride & integrity

For the perfect party
Try these tips, tricks and secrets Do you want to throw the party of the season? Tom Filippou, executive chef for the President’s Choice brand, is offering his top tips to ensure your holiday party is a major success: Party Size If you’re hosting a dinner party for a group of six or more, a buffet-style menu is the easiest way to go. Sit-down dinners should be reserved for smaller parties of three to six guests. CoursesA dinner party menu can have three to six courses, depending on how much work you are prepared to do. A three-course menu consists of an appetizer, main course and dessert. A four-course menu typically has an appetizer, pasta course or fish course, meat course and dessert. A five-course menu has an appetizer, pasta course, fish course, meat course and dessert. Party Menu To really impress your guests, try to serve food that you wouldn’t normally have at a holiday party. An easy and delicious appetizer, for

example, is the new, PC Cheeseburger Spring Rolls. This twist on a tried-and-true party classic include succulent beef, cheese, pickles, ketchup and mustard all in crispy wrappers. Make sure to also have cocktail drinks ready to go before your guests get there. You can make these beforehand so that they are ready to serve as soon as your party begins. Guest Contentment Setting up a cocktail bar and hors d’oeuvres table is an ideal way to keep your guests busy while you finish preparing dinner. Have bottles of open wine on the table as well – white wine should be kept chilled in an ice bucket. Décor For larger buffet-style dinner parties, set up one station where you personally serve your guests one of the dishes to give the party a more intimate feel. It also gives you the opportunity to answer questions about the dishes on the table. Arrange place cards in front of each platter of food with the name of the dish.

Clean start in the New Year Easy fixes you can make to keep your home happy
After the holidays pass and the harsh winter weather sets in, many Canadians will introduce new routines and regimens for the New Year. For those looking to include a clean start amongst their resolutions (pun intended), here are some easy fixes you can make in 2015 to keep your home happy, clean and free of harmful chemical fumes and residues: • Infuse your home with fresh, natural scents – Many love the aroma that scented candles provide, and while they can make any home smell delightful, the chemicals they’re made from can have potentially dangerous effects, especially in homes with limited ventilation. As an alternative scent sensation, try making your own potpourri
using natural ingredients such as fruit, oils and spices. Not only is this a fun DIY project for the whole family but you can customize the fragrances to meet your particular aroma preferences. • Make a splash with a naturally – derived solution for messy dishes – For dinner parties and family get-togethers, Green Works encourages you to embrace the messes left behind by putting a fresh spin to your clean-up efforts. New for 2015, kit out your kitchen with Green Works Dishwashing Liquid, a better solution to washing pots and pans. It’s powerful, naturally derived and fragranced with essential oils so you know it smells great—a win-win-win solution all around! • Hang it out to dry – Give
your dryer a rest and hang your clothes to dry. It saves energy, and reduces wear on your garments. Collapsible hanging racks can attach right to your wall for easy and space efficient air drying. • Give your blender some TLC in 2015 – Improving your diet is another great way to live in a more natural manner in the New Year but make sure you’re keeping your blender as healthy and happy as you are. When experimenting with new recipes or cutting up fresh fruits and vegetables, get a quick fix to cleaning your blender postsmoothie by filling it with Green Works Dishwashing Liquid plus water, and then blending. It will come clean in mere seconds. – newscanada

Another reason to get together
Try planning a wrapping party where everyone gets creative There are few holiday traditions as time honoured as wrapping and preparing gifts for loved ones. More and more creative do-it-yourselfers are taking this special tradition a step further by adding a personalized touch to their gifts with handmade wrappings and cards. In fact, creative types are even organizing “wrapping parties” to take ad-
Lighten up your recipes
Tis’ the season to indulge, but who says it can’t be done with some moderation? This season, keep from over-indulging by simply finding substitutions in your favourite recipes. Here are five tips to lighten your delicious holiday recipes this season: 1. Always choose whole grain options by adding wholewheat flour in your baking and using whole-grain pasta in your recipes. 2. Make smart ingredient swaps. To get a nutty flavour, for example, substitute in almond beverage. 3. Challenge yourself to eat-the-season by using ingredients that are winter fresh. 4. When playing bartender, soda water is a much lighter alternative to tonic water. Or try adding freshly sliced citrus fruits to your flat and sparkling water for added taste. 5. Be generous to others. If you’ve done a lot of baking for a special night or occasion send your guests home with the left over sweets so you aren’t tempted to overeat. –newscanada

On Saturday, Correlieu as the second ranked team in Pool A played Dawson Creek who they defeated in two straight games to advance to the semi –final game against Duchess Park who received a bye to the final because of finishing first in their pool.

two huge kills from second team All-Star Kaitlin Godsoe, who was set-up by first team All-Star setter Olivia Erdman to close out the match to earn a well-deserved 25-21, 26-24 Bronze Medal Victory. College Heights ended up winning the

Heaven In It’s Glory
The Quesnel Rodeo Club
A group of local cowboys, having lunch one day, We talk about our Father, in the land of pure delight Decided that a rodeo, should come in place to stay. Some day we hope to get there and see that lovely sight They put their heads together, a meeting they did hold, You can only just imagine what it really would be like And from it “The Quesnel Rodeo Club” began to unfold. For it’s a Garden of Paradise to visit and to hike At Bouchie Lake we had our grounds, The Lord has toiled and laboured to make it what it is When our first rodeo made the rounds. He plans to share it with us, it isn’t only His Several rodeo’s brought us fame, On the way to Heaven, my soul will weep no more Lots of cowboys played this game. For God will be there, and He’ll open up the door Soon more room had to be found, The Lord will be so happy, that He’ll even wear a smile We looked about for larger ground. There’ll be no Judge and Jury, there won’t even be a trial Donations for the cowboys kitty, My time is up, my work is done, the Lord has called me home Sent us looking in the city. I will join Him and the others in His high and mighty Dome Because our group has lots of spark, I pray that all the happiness has settled in my heart We headed to the Fraser Park. I tried so very hard to take a truly active part We spent long hours in the sun, I did my best while on this Earth to plan for days ahead All because of rodeo fun. But only God can be the Judge on what we’ve done and said We started out with nothing here, While on this Earth we know that we were happy as can be And soon our grounds looked like a fair. But they say that Heaven is a Paradise to see Billy Barker Days came to fame, When the call from Heaven comes, the choice it isn’t ours Riding on the Rodeo’s name. We are taken to His Kingdom, amongst the trees and flowers We’ve now been going for twenty-five years, We will know upon arrival, it’s a Holy sight to see All our work done by volunteers. That’s Heaven in it’s glory, it’s the Place for you and me Our work is hard, and sometimes steady, Elaine Couldwell Just trying to get our program ready, When rodeo weekend starts getting near, Our rodeo club is put in gear. We work away, and do our best, Relying on spectators to do the rest. Elaine Couldwell
