BNE suspect apprehended July 2 June 24, at approximately 4:40 p.m., the Quesnel RCMP received calls from two separate residents in the Uplands neighbourhood of Quesnel reporting a male entering their homes. In the first instance, two young children were home and the male entered the residence through an unlocked rear door. The suspect was startled when he saw the house was occupied and fled on a bicycle. In the second instance the male was interrupted by the resident coming home and the suspect was seen fleeing the area on a bicycle. Upon police attendance the suspect was no longer in the area. With the assistance of the public, police were able to locate and apprehend the suspect in West Quesnel.
July 4 The man charged with assaulting a police officer is awaiting his next court appearance. Ryan Kozuchar, 23, is in provincial court July 15 to consult with counsel. The alleged incident occurred shortly after 8 p.m. June 21 on the Barkerville Highway when police conducted a traffic stop of a suspected impaired driver. The officer made the legal demand for the driver to provide a sample of his breath as part of the impaired driving investigation. The driver refused to provide the required breath sample and was advised that he was under arrest for refusing to provide a breath sample. At this point, it is alleged that the 67-year-old driver and his 23-year-old male passenger (Kozuchar) became combative and began striking the officer multiple times to the head. The police officer radioed for
emergency backup. A second officer arrived on scene and came to his aid at which point the suspects fled into a residence.
July 9 Council has voted to defeat a controversial secondary suite bylaw. The vote, four against two in favour, squashed land use Bylaws 1734 and 1735 that would have seen secondary suites as a permitted use in any single detached dwelling within the city subject to a building permit authorizing their construction. Voting against was Couns. Sushil Thapar, Laurey-Anne Roodenburg, John Brisco and Mayor Mary Sjostrom. In favour was Coun. Scott Elliott and Mike Cave (Ed Coleman as not in attendance).
July 11 Love the Farmer’s Market? Prove it with a self shot of yourself enjoying your favourite aspect of fresh, farmed and local. The B.C. Association of Farmers’ Markets launched its B.C.-wide It Feels Better at the Farmers’ Market campaign and Farmers’ Market Selfie contest, in efforts to raise public awareness and entice market ‘newbies’ to discover Farmers’ Markets.
July 16 Conservation officers are warning residents to secure wildlife attractants after an increase in bear complaints. From April of this year until July 11 there’s been 229 bear complaints, almost all of them due to unsecured attractants. “Ninety-nine percent of the issue has to do with attractant management,” conservation officer Ryane McIntyre said.

July 18 On advice from the fire chief, the Gold Pan City has a fire ban in full effect. This category one ruling keeps the City of Quesnel in line with a ban put in place by the Cariboo Fire Centre. A category one open fire ban prohibits the use of campfires and any other backyard open fires, including those in fire pits.

July 30 A new Power Smart program will provide West Fraser Mills with $16 million over three years. The program, under the provincial government, is designed for thermal mechanical pulp producers to help reduce production electricity costs. The program will provide $16 million to the facility to invest in energy-efficient equipment and plant upgrades over the next three years. “This initiative will help West Fraser upgrade their facility to the 21st century, keeping our forestry sector alive, and keep workers at the mill employed,” Cariboo North MLA Coralee Oakes said.
Both RCMP and the Billy Barker Days Society noted a quieter but successful festival this year. “The numbers were down slightly,” BB Days president Maureen Murray said, noting the muggy temperature and air quality warnings. “But the Society is very pleased with the entire weekend.

Jereme Carl Kozak was arrested June 6 of last year and charged with accessing child pornography, possession of child pornography and possession of child pornography for the purpose of distribution. Kozak had recently moved from Quesnel to Prince George when he was arrested.
Aug. 6 After a breach in the tailings pond from Mount Polley copper and gold mine, a water advisory is in effect. The water advisory to not drink water in the Quesnel Lake, Cariboo Creek, Hazeltine Creek and Polley Lake areas remains in effect and is extended to include the entire Quesnel and Cariboo Rivers systems right to the Fraser River. “This is water directly extracted from the Quesnel River,” CRD chair Al
Richmond said, adding as of Tuesday morning Ministry of Environment was out taking samples.
Aug. 8 As water sample results are anxiously anticipated, the Ministry of Environment (MOE) has issued an abatement order to Mount Polley Mining. This order requires immediate action to stop the further release of mine tailings into nearby waterways. “The order also requires the company to submit an environment assessment impact report,” MOE Jennifer McGuire said during Wednesday’s conference call.
Aug. 13 RCMP are asking motorists, cyclists and horse back riders to share the road. “Both horseback riders and cyclists share the same privileges of road use as vehicles and are expected to follow the same rules,”
Quesnel RCMP spokesperson Cst. Krista Vrolyk said. “While many horse riders generally avoid the road, sometimes it is the only place to ride or way to get to an arena, trail or alternate pasture. As such, riders are expected to adhere to road rules and use common sense.”
Aug. 15 Hallis Lake is diversifying. Recently completing the Hallis Lake Low Mobility Trail, Hallis Lake is the most recent location to provide wheelchair accessibility. The trail was built in partnership between the Cariboo Regional District (CRD); the Ministry of Community, Sport and Cultural Development through the BC Community Recreation Program; Northern Development Initiative Trust; the Cariboo Chilcotin Beetle Action Coalition; and the Cariboo Ski Touring Club.

After voicing his disagreement over pay increases of senior level city staff, Coun. Sushil Thapar says his concerns were confirmed once his comparative request was fulfilled. “Since 2009 some of these salaries have increased by more than $30,000,” he said, pointing out he’s been in office since 2002 and seen even higher increases.

Aug. 22 After being informed of “hefty” pay increases to some city employees pay cheques, Coun. Sushil Thapar is questioning the reasoning. “Why now?” He asked. “Is it because there’s an election coming?” Thapar pointed to several senior level management positions and quoted increases of close to $40,000 in the last six years. “That’s insane,” Thapar said, adding he requested 2008 City of Quesnel pay levels. “We don’t have the money [for that kind of increase].” However, city manager Byron Johnson said the increases are in line with other municipalities and in accordance with succession planning and employee retainment.

I think it is incredibly important to be open and accessible and treat people fairly and look them in the eye and tell them what is on your mind. –Bob Iger
J
ustin Trudeau has come up with a campaign idea that may help him seal the deal with enough voters to win power in next October’s federal election. He has taken direct aim at the prime minister’s secrecy, the muzzling of cabinet ministers, MPs and bureaucrats and what he calls “message control.” Many people who otherwise have few issues with the Conservative government are not happy with the manufactured flow of information. Other than government ads which feature “the Harper government,” actual information from MPs and civil servants is often sparse. While some MPs like Langley’s Mark Warawa are quite open and accessible with citizens and local media, many more are not. Many cabinet ministers rarely hold press conferences. Harper himself is almost permanently unavailable to the media. He makes a few appearances, such as a recent year-end interview on CBC, but he never answers questions in an impromptu fashion. When he appeared at a fundraiser in Langley in the summer, he did not say one word to any media person, national, regional or local. Supporters who wished to talk to him had to stand in a lengthy lineup. Prime ministers don’t have to be your friends. But they do have to be accountable, and that includes saying something that isn’t scripted, at least once in a while. Like Bard the bowman in The Hobbit, Trudeau has taken aim at this weak spot in the dragon’s scales, and it may score enough votes for him to at least win a minority government. – Black Press
2015: the year of climate adaptation It’s time to look beyond the protests and political battles around climate change that dominated 2014, and look at the year and the decade ahead. From the California drought to shifting forest patterns across B.C., there is evidence that our climate is changing more rapidly. Public debate consists mainly of squabbling about the significance of humancaused greenhouse gas emissions, rather than what can be done to prepare. A draft discussion paper from the B.C. forests ministry on wildfire control was released in December after an access to information request. “Climate Change Adaptation and Action Plan For Wildfire Management, 2014 – 2024” describes the progress made in the province’s community forest fire prevention plan, and its goal to create “wildfire resilient ecosystems and wildfire adapted communities” over the next 10 years. The final discussion paper is to be released early in 2015, but the key research is in. It estimates that by 2017 there will be 788 million cubic metres of dead

B.C. Views pine in B.C. forests. Fires in these areas spread 2.6 times faster than in healthy green stands, up to 66 metres per minute. The report calls for fuel management beyond community boundaries to stop “mega-fires” by creating landscape-level fuel breaks, with targeted harvesting, prescribed burning and new silviculture practices. It notes that bark beetle infestations and bigger, hotter fires are being seen across North America, with costs rising along with urban development. For example, the 2011 Slave Lake fire in northern Alberta generated the second largest insurance charge in Canadian history. The costs of preparing are huge. The costs of not preparing could be catastrophic.
The treaty, sparked by devastating floods in 1948, led to construction of three dams on the B.C. side and one at Libby, Washington that backed up Kookanusa Lake into B.C. Between that reservoir and the Arrow Lakes, 110,000 hectares of B.C. land was flooded, including orchards, dairy farms and the homes of 2,000 people. Those dams hold back spring flood water and provide for irrigation that has allowed Washington to expand its agriculture to a $5 billion-a-year industry. The treaty shares the value of hydroelectric power generated by the many downstream U.S. dams such as the Grand Coulee, but it pays B.C. nothing for agricultural benefits that were achieved at the cost of B.C. farms and aboriginal territories. O’Riordan notes that climate shifts create a strategic benefit for B.C. The U.S. has no more dam capacity to exploit, and needs us more than ever, for flood protection and water supply.

Also in 2014, the B.C. government appointed an advisory committee to prepare for the renewal of the Columbia River Treaty with the United States. While this 1964 the treaty has no end date, its flood control mandate expires in 2024. I spoke with Deborah Harford and Jon O’Riordan, members of the Simon Fraser University Adaptation to Climate Change Team (ACT), who, along with ACT senior policy author Robert Sandford, have written a provocative book on the treaty. They hope it will help lead to a renewed agreement that will be a model for a changing world. “If you’re looking ahead 60 years from 2024, there’s a lot of climate change projected in that period, for British Columbia and the U.S.,” Harford said. “For the B.C. side, we’re looking at heavy precipitation and potential increase in snowmelt runoff, while in the States, you’re getting the opposite, much less snow. “There will probably be no snowpack left down there, and they’re looking at the prospect of quite drastically lower flows in the summer.”

Working to enhance quality of life for seniors Enhancing the quality of life for seniors – what a great motto that is. It belongs to the Old Age Pensioners’ Organization (OAPO). The OAPO has been actively involved in the lives of seniors for a good many years. Our branch in Quesnel, OAPO #77, was incorporated in 1959, to bring in low-cost housing for seniors and this was the beginning of Fraser Village. Fraser Village Homes Society was formed in 1960 and was approved in principle by the provincial government. The Town Council agreed to donate property on

SHOOT THE BREEZE Front Street, the location of the first Fraser Village Homes. Affordable housing for our seniors was on the way. Construction began on 10 units in 1961. Two years later, Gertrude Fraser cut the ribbon and seniors moved in. Premier W.A.C. Bennett cut the ribbon for the next 14
units in 1969. Trivia: Did you know that there used to be a means test and a mandatory retirement age of 70? The first pension cheque was issued to William Henry Derby in 1927 for $20.
Seniors lights tour On Dec. 10, seniors met at the Royal Canadian Legion for the renewed, Annual Tour of Christmas Lights. Buses were made available from Barry Crofts of South Shore Auto driven by Susan MacNeill, Ric Raynor driving the Baden Powell Scouting bus and the North Star Church Bus driven by Pastor Norm
Botterill. Seniors registered on sign-up sheets before hand and was a great way of getting out to see the tremendous time, effort, and expense that some homeowners have gone to achieve such creative displays. Those who no longer drive at night have a real appreciation for this opportunity. Following the enjoyable ride throughout different areas participants were treated to courtesy refreshments at the Legion, cookies from Ray Blackmore of Century 21 Realty and donut holes from Tim Horton’s. On behalf of seniors who participated, a
great big thank you to all of you for making this happen and to Honey Affleck who helped behind the scenes. Dunrovin Park Lodge also took some of their residents on a Christmas Light Tour with their bus. Quesnel and District Hospice Palliative Care Association enjoyed a lovely evening with their 14th Annual Variety Dinner and Artisan Auction. Kudos to all the volunteers, guests and sponsors, once again, who make this event a very prosperous one, so the Association can continue with their good works providing care services, education and special
events for our community members and families, who are facing life limiting illness. The event raised more than $14,000 this year. The Seniors Advocacy Service office wishes one and all a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. They thank their volunteers who continue to dedicate time and energy to serving the office. We will be issuing disabled parking permits in the New Year. Susan MacNeill and Mary Ann Sturdy are seniors advocates and regular Observer columnists.

Stabbing suspect in court Sept. 5 A 34-year-old man remains in custody after a stabbing Saturday. At approximately 3:30 p.m. Aug. 30, Quesnel RCMP received a report of a stabbing in the 400 block of Reid Street. Information received stated that a male had been stabbed and that the male suspect had fled the scene in a nearby vehicle. Within minutes of receiving the initial report, members of the Quesnel RCMP located the vehicle in the nearby area and arrested a 34-year-old male suspect. The male suspect was arrested without incident and remains in custody awaiting his next court appearance.
Sept. 10 Campfires are once again allowed throughout the Cariboo Fire Centre’s jurisdiction. The following activities are now permitted throughout the Cariboo Fire Centre: •campfires, as defined in the Wildfire Regulation •outdoor stoves and other portable campfire apparatuses •tiki torches •chimineas (outdoor chimneys)
Sept. 12 With her husband by her side and supporters surrounding her Mayor Mary Sjostrom announced Wednesday she’s going for a third term. “I am very proud of the accomplishments of city council in the past few years,” she said. “The successful referendum for a new arena is a huge step forward towards renewal of our community. “Everyone will enjoy watching this new recreation facility be constructed in the next year and look forward to the grand opening in 2016.”
Sept. 17 How do you plan on celebrating International Day of Peace? Rotarian Dr. John Havens hopes Gold Pan residents will show their solidarity for peace by attending one of the peace poles located at the two Community Gardens at noon on Sunday with a minute of silence. “Peace isn’t just about the absence of war,” he said. “It’s about peace of mind, community, the environment, interactions with one another.”
Sept. 19 The Quesnel School District is pleased to announce that the B.C. Teachers’ Federation and B.C. Public School Employers’ Association
have reached a tentative agreement. In the event that the deal is ratified, School District #28 is planning for all schools to be in session, and all busses to run Monday, Sept. 22.
Sept. 24 Registering has never been easier. The province and B.C. Transplant have partnered to make organ donation as easy as a click away. Starting Monday, Service B.C. centres in Quesnel, Dawson Creek, Port Alberni and Salmon Arm will offer citizens a variety of opportunities to register their decision to be an organ donor, including the above service locations as well as online registration. “We know that British Columbians support organ donation,” B.C. Transplant provincial executive director Dr. Greg Grant said.
Sept. 26 Things are going to get warmer at the Child Development Centre. Monday the federal government, under the Western Economic Diversification and Community Infrastructure Improvement Fund (WEDCIIF) umbrella, announced $33,874 in funding for the centre to upgrade the heating, ventilation and air conditioning system. “We were very fortunate to receive funding from Western Economic Diversification Canada,” CDC Heidi Kuhn said.
Oct. 1 The Ontario Civil Liberties Association (OCLA) has thrown their support behind local journalist Arthur Topham. “My wife and I are extremely pleased and relieved that finally a prestigious organization such as the Ontario Civil Liberties Association has taken the time to review the case and rightfully conclude that it is a precedent setting one and important to Canadians everywhere in terms of their Charter right to free expression,” Topham said.
Oct. 8 Despite some “uncertainty” in the market, most real estate numbers continue to rise, including the Gold Pan City. To the end of September 216 properties worth $42 million sold through Multiple Listing Service in the Quesnel area, compared to 206 properties worth $43.3 million to the end of the third quarter of 2013.
Oct. 10 The Cariboo Regional District (CRD), the City of Quesnel and West Fraser announced the North Cariboo Arena Project’s official naming as the West Fraser Centre.

Mero and Comeau found not guilty Oct. 15 Robert Mike Mero and Kale Raymond Comeau have been found not guilty. The incident in question involved an alleged drive-by shooting in June of 2012. The decision, handed down by Justice R. Tindale in Quesnel Supreme court Thursday, rested primarily with a wiretap on Mero’s cell phone and testimony from Crown’s main witness. Tindale found the witness “unreliable” and “contradictory”. Noting she wrongly identified one suspect and later changed who it was.
Oct. 22 Cariboo motorists are urged keep an extra close eye out for wildlife during the months of October and November. “Although a collision with wildlife can happen at any place and at any time, on Cariboo roads, there is a sharp spike in wildlife vehicle collisions that begins in October,” Regional Manager, B.C. Conservation Foundation Barb Waters said. “The critical times to watch for wildlife on the roads are between 6 – 8 a.m. and 5 – 8 p.m.”
Oct. 24 New laws are cracking down on any use of an electronic device while driving. The province’s new distracted driving fines were official as
of Monday and include three penalty points and a $167 fine for anyone caught using a handheld device. The new penalty covers infractions such as “talking on, holding or dialing a cellular phone, operating a hand-held audio player (such as an iPod or mp3 player), or programming a GPS,” the release states.
Oct. 29 CNC is now offering 16 additional seats in Welding Level C after an infusion of cash from government. The Ministry of Advanced Education is providing the one-time funding of $192,000 to support the additional trades training spaces. “As our region’s economy evolves, we need to focus on diversification in order to be successful,” Cariboo North MLA Coralee Oakes said.
Oct. 31 There was standing room only as Quesnel citizens bustled into the Legion for the first forum for this years mayoral and city council candidates. Wednesday, candidates touched on a variety of issues including the Arena Replacement Project, increasing tourism, push for a bypass and current dependency on the forestry industry.
Nov. 5 RCMP are investigating a stabbing in the early morn-
ing hours of Nov. 3 in the 200 block of Anderson. A 22-yearold Quesnel male is being treated for non-life threatening injuries. RCMP say they are in the preliminary stages of investigation and will provide further details as available. Anyone with information call RCMP, 250-992-9211.
Nov. 7 The Quesnel RCMP continues to work closely with the City of Quesnel and the local business community in dealing with aggressive panhandling, primarily in the downtown core. The Quesnel RCMP would like to ensure that the public is aware of the provisions of the Safe Streets Act when it comes to people asking for money.
Nov. 14 The B.C. government is funding 10 extreme weather shelter spaces at Seasons House this winter. “We always have overflow,” Seasons House Executive Director Melanie MacDonald said. “We never turn anyone away, unless they’re a risk.” Funding for the spaces begins now until March 31, 2015 as communities issue extreme weather alerts for their area. “Extreme weather shelter beds aim to support homeless people that might be turned away due to a lack of bed space,” Cariboo North MLA Coralee Oakes said.
itamin C is arguably the single most important water soluble antioxidant in the human body. Antioxidants play a key role in protecting cells against free radicals, which can cause damage and play a role in heart disease, cancer and other diseases. It’s tragic that researchers are unaware that high doses of vitamin C and lysine cannot only prevent, but reverse atherosclerosis in coronary and other arteries in the body. Vitamin C is needed for the manufacture of collagen, the glue that holds cells together. A lack of vitamin C means poor collagen, resulting in cracks appearing between coronary cells thus setting the stage for fatal blood clot. Recently, Dr. Sydney Bush, an English researcher, made this monumental discovery. He took photos of the retinal arteries and then gave patients 6,000 milligrams of vitamin C and 5,000 of lysine (lysine adds strength to coronary arteries just like steel rods increase the strength of concrete). A year later he repeated the pictures. To his surprise, he found atherosclerosis fading away. Millions of North Americans also suffer from osteoarthritis. Without sufficient vitamin C to produce collagen, a major component of cartilage, bone eventually grinds on bone. There would be fewer joint replacements if more vitamin C were available to produce healthy collagen. Rheumatoid arthritis, the inflammatory type, also requires large doses of vitamin C. Every moment of the day our bodies are using oxygen to keep us alive. But oxidation results in metabolic ash, known as “free radicals”, which are believed to trigger an inflammatory reaction in joints. Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that helps to reduce damaging free-radicals.
Patients often appear surprised when I tell them that vitamin C will help them keep their teeth a lifetime. By age 65 one in five North Americans has lost all their teeth and many of their teeth were normal. Rather, it was the gums that could no longer hold teeth firmly in place in part due to inadequate amounts of vitamin C. This vitamin is needed in large amounts to produce healthy collagen, the glue that holds cells together and keeps gums healthy. Without good mortar bricks fall apart and the same happens when gums lacking collagen lose their grip on teeth. The essential amino acid lysine is probably best known for its use in those with herpes simplex infections but several other benefits have been ascribed to the molecule, including favourable effects on blood pressure and stroke prevention but also a positive influence on mood and anxiety. In addition to providing healthy collagen production and a healthy cardiovascular system, vitamin C and lysine supplementation helps support: • Immune system health • Vision • Teeth and gums • Wound healing • Bones and cartilage • Recovery from shingles • Recovery from herpes outbreaks This is why I’ve been taking high doses of vitamin C and lysine for the last 16 years following a heart attack. I believe it saved my life. Medi-C Plus™, containing high doses of vitamin C and lysine, is available in powder and capsules.

Joan ended her battle with COPD late in the evening on December 17, 2014. She did not lay her weapons down willingly, fighting to the very end with every ounce of her legendary focus and strength. Joan was predeceased by her exasperating but charming husband, Chris, in 2011. She leaves behind two controlling daughters; Deb Neufeld (Joanne), Sherra-Lee McLean (Berton, whom she loved dearly) and Randy, her son and the apple of her eye. Joan also leaves to the future, her beloved grandchildren: Corey Neufeld (Rolanda), Nathan McLean, Lindsey Neufeld, Megan Topham (Sundance), Laura Alford (Reg) and Cayden Johnson. She also had the good fortune to meet all of her great-grandchildren: Ty, Ocean, Fraser, Sidney, Soul, Rowan and Canyon. Sisters: Betty Hogan, Dolly Sjodin, Doris Edwards, Marlene, Faye and Barb Garner, Dianne Dagneau, Judy Garner-Niehaus and brothers Bob Garner (Sylvia), Brian, Allan and Wayne Garner, along with her amazing step-mom, Christine, will continue to hold Joan softly in their hearts as they continue their journeys. Joan approached life in a practical and organized way, keeping everyone on track and honest (thanks to her infernal diaries). She enjoyed family most of all but took time to fish and hunt with Chris, eventually overcoming her fear of the ocean to accompany him in Prince Rupert. She panned for gold in the Princeton area and often took home the pocket change of her friends and family whenever they were silly enough to play cards with her. We will recognize her in her next life by her odd compulsion to paint rocks pink. See you later Nanny... We’ll miss your amazing buns! Observer file photo
