ICBC noncommittal on rock chip repair policy AUTUMN MacDONALD Observer Reporter After council passed a resolution urging ICBC to resume covering windshield rock chip repairs, the company says it’s considering options. “We’re committed to listening to our customers and providing them with the best coverage at the lowest possible price,” ICBC communications said. “As windshield repair technology improves, ICBC will assess the effectiveness of these repairs and will consider options for customers in the future.” Coun. Ron Paull, who originally brought the resolution to council, said he’s not surprised with the insurance company’s response, “reducing services on one hand while increasing rates on the other,” he said. The resolution, which will be brought forth to the North Central Local Government Association meeting, May 6 – 8 states: WHEREAS ICBC has, for some time, discontinued providing financial assistance to BC drivers for windshield rock chip repairs; AND WHEREAS road and highway maintenance contractors in the North Central and Interior areas of British Columbia regularly apply course winter road aggregate instead of finer and less destructive sand that cause damage
to windshields, including cracks and rock chips; AND WHEREAS unrepaired windshield rock chips quickly develop into cracked windshields that impair the visibility of drivers and thereby threaten the safety of themselves, other motorists and their passengers; THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the North Central Local Government Association, through the Union of BC Municipalities petition the Province of British Columbia to direct ICBC to resume providing financial assistance for drivers in need of windshield rock chip repairs. In 2001, ICBC discontinued the windshield repair program because “repaired windshields often still needed to be replaced a short time later,” they stated. “This was not convenient for vehicle owners and not fiscally responsible for ICBC and our customers.” Paull, noting that is “exactly the kind of response” one would expect from the corporation, said he was prompted to put the resolution forward after a rock chip he didn’t get fixed ended up turning into a “full blown crack that will eventually get me a ticket unless I get a new windshield.” The resolution will be brought forward at the NCLGA 2015 meeting in Prince George.
Armed robbery on Malcolm Street Just after 9 p.m. March 2 RCMP were called to an armed robbery at a gas station located on Malcolm Street in Quesnel. The suspect, described as a white male, wearing all black clothes and a black cloth over his face, showed a knife to the clerk and demanded money.
After receiving a small amount of cash the suspect fled the store. RCMP are asking anybody who may have seen this incident or has any information to call the Quesnel RCMP at 992-9211 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-2228477.

Council slashes travel budget, repeals bylaws
City Council has repealed 34 outdated bylaws and a number of policies as an initial step in its comprehensive review of all of the city’s bylaws and policies. “Updating the city’s bylaws and policies to ensure they are current and reflect today’s laws and best practices is a strategic objective for Council,” Chair of Council’s Policy and Bylaw Committee (PABCOM), Coun. Ron Paull said. “This house cleaning reflects council’s intent to modernize our decision-making processes and ensure we can effectively manage our way through this economic transition.” Along with repealing outdated bylaws, PABCOM is reviewing all of the City’s remaining bylaws and policies to ensure they are up-to-date, consistent with council’s strategic plan and budget and they reflect best practices. For example, based on a PABCOM recommendation, Council repealed a policy that
“This house cleaning reflects council’s intent to modernize our decision-making processes and ensure we can effectively manage our way through this economic transition.” Ron Paull, Coun.
gave it discretionary spending authority over an account called “Council Projects” as this account was removed from the 2015 budget. Council’s Finance Committee now reviews all spending requests and makes recommendations to council before any financial decisions are made. “During its budget process Council reduced its total travel budget by 34 per cent, so we recommended that
Council reduce its per diem from $95/day to $50/day when an overnight stay is not required,” PABCOM member, Coun. John Brisco said. “This change reflects our desire to be fiscally prudent and it will also stretch our limited training and travel dollars further.” Mayor Bob Simpson said he was very pleased with the progress that Council’s new standing committees have made in such a short period of time: “Our Finance Committee recommended a budget that puts the city on the path of financial sustainability and now our Policy and Bylaw Committee is making significant progress toward updating our legislative tools so we will have modern governance tools to help us achieve our strategic goals,” he said. “I appreciate the many hours of hard work councillors are putting into our new committee structure.”

PREMIER’S PEOPLE’S CHOICE AWARD
Local entrepreneur wins Q-City Page
A feature highlighting meetings, proposals and events important to Quesnel residents.
Julie’s Edible Bouquets went from hobby to hopping AUTUMN MacDONALD Observer Reporter The Creative Process: 1) This is awesome. 2) This is tricky. 3) This is s**t. 4) I am s**t. 5) This might be OK. 6) This is awesome. “That’s so my creative process,” laughs Julie Giesbrecht owner of Julie’s Edible Bouquets and recent Premier’s People’s Choice award winner. It all started four years ago, when Giesbrecht was making her coveted chocolate covered strawberry creations for friends and family. Enter Facebook business marketing and Julie’s number one fan, her sister, and you have one booming business on your hands.
From there Giesbrecht expanded her business to include cake pops and cookie bouquets, creations that are the talk of the luncheon, but don’t tell her that. “I’m really not that creative,” she said laughing. “Seriously, I don’t really know what I’m doing.” Tell that to her fan base. In order to pick up the prestigious award, Giesbrecht had to rely on votes from clients and fans. “It’s so cool to know how many people took the time to vote for me,” she said, extending a big shout-out to her nominee Ashely Schmidt. From top 10, to top five, Giesbrecht was then encouraged to attend the awards in Vancouver. “I wasn’t certain I would go,” said the mother of four.
“But ultimately I decided I should attend… just to be there amongst all these other entrepreneurs. I really went there thinking I hadn’t won, but hoping I had.” So when they called her name, Giesbrecht was “shocked and overwhelmed.” “Of course I started crying,” she said, recapping her list of heartfelt thank-yous: husband, nominator, sister, supporters and event sponsors. So what’s next for the Premier’s People’s Choice? Family – at least until her youngest is in school. Because for Giesbrecht none of the success of business means anything without them. “It’s about prioritizing,” she said. For more on Julie’s Edible Bouquets, check out her Facebook page.

Opportunities that enhance learning
S
pring is always an exciting time for early learners in School District #28. The season kicks off with kindergarten registration. Kindergarten registration started on Feb. 16 and continues until March 13. We will of course accept registrations after the 13th, right up until school starts in September, but we encourage families to register sooner than later. Kindergarteners-tobe that are registered will be invited, along with their parents, to Welcome to Kindergarten events at their neighbourhood schools in April and May. These funfilled, action-packed events introduce new students to their school, school staff and new buddies. Children take away a bag full of goodies that includes great books, craft materials, parent resources and instructions for developmentally
WE LCOME! School Notes School District #28 appropriate learning activities. New kindergarten students who are registered by March 13 are also scheduled for kindergarten screening appointments in May. At these appointments, district staff and community partners such as Northern Health do dental, hearing, vision and speech checks. The results of these can help parents, teachers and health professionals to plan most effectively for smooth transitions into kindergarten. We know that the most sensitive periods for brain development in children are the years between the ages of 0 – 7, with the first three years being
critical. In order to provide opportunities that enhance learning during these critical developmental periods, the Ministry of Education has partnered with districts to ensure that universal early learning programs are available to all preschoolers. One of these programs to be watching for is Ready, Set, Learn. Ready, Set, Learn programs will be happening in March and April, and will be held in every District elementary school. These programs are free, but pre-registration at neighbourhood schools is required. The Ready, Set, Learn program is geared for pre-schoolers that are 3 – 5 years old. Parents participate with their children in games, stories and craft activities and take away valuable resources to support their pre-schoolers. Parents also have the time to meet and talk with other parents while facilitators
involve the children in a variety of independent activities. These programs are also intended to create positive connections between families and their neighbourhood schools. Families are also encouraged to check out School District #28 StrongStart programs. StrongStart programs operate in five elementary schools during the morning on regular school days. These parent/caregiver participation programs for children 0 – 5 years old are free, drop-in programs. Families may choose to attend any or all of the programs available, and need not live in the neighbourhood where centres are located. If you have any questions about any of our early learning programs, contact the Curriculum Department at the District Administration Office at 250-992-8802.
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.

Critical role
I
t was just about a year ago that B.C. had to deal with an outbreak of measles, with about 100 cases popping up in the Fraser Valley. This year, it’s Ontario’s turn. Though it’s still a common disease in many areas of the Third World, the once common childhood ailment is rarely seen in Canada these days. There is one reason for that: vaccinations. Complications from measles include ear or respiratory infections like pneumonia, and in extreme cases, brain inflammation, blindness and deafness or, rarely, death. Measles accounted for 500,000 deaths worldwide in 2000. Mass immunizations have drastically reduced that figure. By 2012, the number of measles deaths dropped by 80 per cent. But the number of children being vaccinated is shrinking — many parents willing to risk their children’s health, and that of others, by refusing to have their kids vaccinated. More than 15 years ago, a British doctor, Andrew Wakefield, suggested the measles vaccine, long proven safe, might cause autism. His study has long since been found inaccurate. Yet, with the help of the Internet, the scare has been perpetuated and more. Experts are concerned people who refuse one vaccine may be spurning others, setting communities up for outbreaks of other dangerous diseases like diphtheria and whooping cough. The typical course for common measles, especially with modern medicines, is relatively mild. But why put your child through even that, and put others at risk, for misplaced fear of a simple vaccination? While we don’t advocate mandatory vaccination, we do advocate relying on the advice of doctors and other reliable sources rather than misplaced faith in the veracity of the Internet. Remember, you don’t have to be an expert in anything to set up a website. –Black Press

It was news to me
ast week a young woman living in Scotland posted a picture online of a two-tone dress the mother of her engaged friend was planning to wear to the wedding. Under the close-up photo, her caption read: “guys please help me – is this dress white and gold, or blue and black? Me and my friends can’t agree and we are freaking the (bleep) out.” I’m sure most of you know what happened next. The picture and question went viral to such an extent that millions of people, including celebrities, were responding on Facebook, Twitter and other social media sites like Tumblr, where it was originally posted. It was also all over the news with many media outlets offering a polling system to tally how many people viewed the dress as white and gold, like my husband and I did, or blue and black, like our children did. The results seemed evenly split for the most part, and that’s what I noticed when I posted the picture and question on my own Facebook page. While most people seemed to be having a jolly good time weighing in with what they saw, baffled as to why we weren’t all seeing the
Lori Welbourne
On A Brighter Note identical colours, others were completely irritated. “Nobody cares,” “It’s ugly,” “This isn’t news,” “This is stupid,” and “Enough already” were just some of the sentiments I read repeatedly. Obviously the colour of the dress wasn’t the only thing people were completely divided on. The reaction to this story becoming an internet sensation was clearly mixed. From my perspective, I saw it as an entertaining distraction from the horrifying murder and mayhem that typically dominates the news. I found it engaging because so many of us were asking the same questions. Why aren’t we all seeing the same thing? Who posted the original picture? How did it go viral so fast? Why had this type of story not exploded in the news before? What was the actual colour of it in real life?
ample of how people want the serious journalism that might leave them feeling sad or angry, but they’re more likely to pass along the happy stuff. An analysis of the social share counts of over 100 million articles by Buzzsumo confirms this. The content discovery company presented the four most popular emotions invoked in viral stories as awe, laughter, amusement and joy, whereas sadness and anger were among the least popular emotions, adding up to only seven per cent. I can’t say I’m entirely okay with these statistics. Sharing information about crucial issues that require our help need to be circulated as well. Yet when we consider that the most read articles aren’t necessarily the most shared, and that we’re thoroughly inundated with tragic stories from all over the world, it’s easy to see why we’d be attracted to something positive. There needs to be a healthy balance between all types of reports, both good and bad. But much like beauty is in the eye of the beholder, news is in the mind of the observer.

Those answers and more can easily be found online, but in case you don’t already know, the lowdown on the latter is that the dress is blue and black. Interesting. So what else have I perceived so incorrectly? No, this was not hard hitting news. But, like most people, I welcome some enjoyment in my day and this fit in nicely. It also taught me some things I didn’t know. I was intrigued to hear what my friend Susan thought, since she’s often complained about the negativity of traditional media. “If it bleeds it leads,” she’s groaned. “It’s so depressing.” I thought she’d love the lighthearted dress debate. I was wrong - she was not impressed. She also disliked the extensive coverage a couple of escaped llamas in Arizona were getting at the same time. “Don’t you find them interesting or amusing?” I asked. “No,” she said. “But even if I did, llamas on the loose and hideous dresses don’t belong on the news.” I had to disagree. The public displayed tremendous interest in both of these stories. They’re a good ex-

Minimum wage formula coming soon TOM FLETCHER Black Press
Premier Christy Clark has ruled out increasing B.C.’s minimum wage to $15 an hour, but she says there will be a formula announced soon for increases to keep pace with the cost of living. After meetings between cabinet ministers and B.C.
Federation of Labour executives this week, Clark said work is underway to extend the series of increases that brought the minimum wage up to its current rate of $10.25 an hour after a decade with no increase. She said the system has to protect small and medium-sized businesses from big jumps. “They know that it’s going
to go up, but they want to know that it’s going to go up in a predictable way so they can plan for it,” Clark said. B.C. Fed president Irene Lanzinger said it’s big businesses like fast food chains that offer many of the minimum wage jobs. Of the 120,000 people in B.C. making minimum wage,

nearly half are over 25 years old, 63 per cent are women and about 10,000 are aged 55 and older, she said. Labour leaders were more encouraged after their call for a minimum 25 per cent of jobs for apprentices on publicly funded construction projects. See PAGE A11

Work is underway to extend series of increases: Clark from A10
Lee Loftus, president of the B.C. Building Trades, said unionized contractors have the 25 per cent rule in their collective agreements and fund apprenticeship training. But with the majority of construction now done by non-union companies, there are no quotas for apprentice positions. Clark said BC Hydro has adopted the 25 per cent standard for the Site C dam project, but other large public infrastructure projects include federal funds. Ottawa wants apprenticeships to be voluntary for those projects, but Clark said she supports the idea in principle. “If we’re spending this money on public projects anyway, we should be investing in apprenticeships and getting people up the ladder so they can earn more money and go and work in what we know is going to be a huge industry, in liquefied natural gas,” Clark said. Lanzinger said the B.C. Fed has received little response from the government on its other long-standing issue, the lack of union successorship rights in health care. A change in contractors triggered layoff notices to 240 Hospital Employees’ Union members this
week at Laurel Place, a Surrey long-term care facility. A contract change for Vancouver Coastal
Health cleaning staff has triggered layoff of 935 staff effective this summer. Lanzinger said the
B.C. government’s 2002 exemption of public employers and publicly subsidized private
employers from union successorship provisions in the Labour Code has resulted in many
contract changes with workers laid off and rehired. The practice is designed to drive down wages and
benefits for employees making little more than minimum wages, she said.

Lindsay, Pawel & Bob
Key to the auto sales business is the provision of financing and with eighteen years of industry experience in the Vancouver area, Lindsay Scott aims to ensure that customers at Cariboo Truck and Auto receive exceptional service. Lindsay has access to the widest range of lenders in the area and she specializes in dealing with all forms of credit challenges – whether as a result of being new to credit or the various life hiccups that often put people in a tight spot with credit. Lindsay loves working in a small town and she is really happy to have the time to sit down with each and every customer to make sure that they have the best finance package available. Having moved to the Cariboo with her husband Bob in the fall of 2013, Lindsay is an accomplished horsewoman and all-around animal lover who has been breeding Lipizzaner horses since the mid-1980’s and she is excited that she and Bob now have a large farm where they and their animals can enjoy life to the fullest. Lindsay’s husband –Bob – rounds out the staff at Cariboo Truck and Auto. After a nearly 30 year career in law enforcement Bob was happy to call himself a “semi-retired horse and hay farmer” but – at Lindsay’s suggestion - he decided to try out auto sales for a complete change of pace and he has now done all the courses necessary to be a fully licensed salesperson. Bob says that he really likes the social interaction with customers and that he really enjoys being able to help people get into a vehicle they want at a price they can afford.

Piano man and Piano mom Whitney Christie, left and her son Shaymus love to play the piano and are competing in QFPA. Contributed photo
Mother and son share a passion for the ivories ANNIE GALLANT Observer Reporter
P
ianists are in a world all their own. Oh they may also play soccer or teach school. However, when they sit down to a piano the rest of the world recedes. At least that seems to be the case for mother and son, Whitney and Shaymus Christy. Their styles are different, how they learn music is different, they come from different musical influences but their passion for piano remains a constant. Both will be presenting their skills in Quesnel
Festival of the Performing Arts (QFPA) piano discipline with adjudication by Yvette Rowledge. Music has always been a part of Whitney’s school experience. Playing flute and saxophone, she was a member of her high school’s honour band and also traveled with the Canadian Youth Orchestra to Europe. So when her five-yearold son Shaymus was introduced to piano, Whitney thought: why not? She might as well give piano a try as well. “We found just the right music teacher, Elizabeth Staats, who taught students the way they
learned best,” Whitney said. “Shaymus began learning piano by listening to the music and playing it by ear, I learned with notes and sheet music,” she said. Whitney said they have her grandmother’s piano which she remembered from her childhood and visits to gramma who at the time lived in Quesnel. “We also have a grand piano,” Whitney admitted. She also said in the beginning she, with her musical background, outdistanced her young son but added now he has definitely outdistanced her. This isn’t the first year the mother/son pair have
performed in the QFPA, in fact they have played duets in past festivals but says they have very different styles and prefer performing separately. “Shaymus is much more the performer,” she said with a smile. “He’s much more energetic with a carefree attitude.” As with many young children, Shaymus needed to be prodded to practice but Whitney says now, 10 years later, he just as passionate as she is. This year Whitney will perform three separate pieces and Shaymus performs five pieces. They both rely on their music teacher to suggest their playlist as well as the
Royal Conservatory exam lists to guide their choices. Although there’s many piano students performing, Shaymus says “it’s too bad not many other competitors in my age group.” When he was first performing before an audience, Shaymus said there’s a certain fear the audience won’t like your selections, but added, “once you sense they do like your music, you just go for it.” Last year, Shaymus was chosen to attend the Provincial Festival as an observer (didn’t perform) and was amazed at the quality and expertise of those who competed. Both enjoy performing
the classical pieces and this year Shaymus is performing a Brahms waltz and says of all his pieces it’s his favourite and one he plays most often. For Whitney, she really enjoys playing Bach. “There’s two melodies, one for each hand. Most composers have a dominant hand and support hand, but not Bach.” The Piano Festival runs from April 22 – 26 at Lakeview Church, 2244 Ash Ave. at the top of Dragon Lake Hill. Each festival is free to the public and an outline of the festival is available at the website www.qfpa. ca.

Sensational pop group Eh440 to play Occidental Hotel
Quesnel’s Occidental Hotel is happy to host the sensational pop a cappella group based out of Toronto Eh440, March 10 at 8 p.m. Contact the Occidental for ticket information. Eh440 started harmonizing together in 2012. Using just their voices, this Torontobased a cappella group has wow’d audiences across the USA and Canada. But their journey really started more than a decade and half ago. As kids, Janet Turner and Stacey Kay used to compete against each other in singing contests. The first time they met, Kay was just eight years old and Turner a little older. Luke Stapleton (aka Human Record) started beatboxing
as a kid too. Coming from a “show biz” family, Stapleton would listen to his dad play the drums in their house and recreate the sounds using only his mouth. Mike Celia and Joe Oliva started their musical journeys a little later than the other three. Already into their teens, Celia taught himself to play guitar and sing while Oliva joined his high school choir, just for fun, in his final year. After coming together through the Toronto Independent Music Awards and mutual musician-friends, Eh440 was born – their first gig was performing the national anthems for the Valentine’s Day 2012 Toronto Raptors vs. New York Knicks NBA game.
Singing in an arena before 20,000 people? Pretty good first gig! So, Eh440 is a mix of five people from five very different backgrounds and musical genres. Oliva’s been a low bass singer his entire life, Stapleton’s an urban beatboxer, Turner identifies as a country/pop singer, Kay’s soul/ pop, and if that isn’t confusing enough, Celia’s even more of a musical chameleon who cites blues, folk and “anything with a good groove” as his influences. Together they form “an unforgettable combination of crazy beatboxing, sassy rapping, killer harmonies and fresh, urban, RnB-influenced compositions.” – Source, www.eh440.com

Bull and steer riding school WHITNEY GRIFFITHS Observer Reporter
It was time to put the practice into play and jump on a bull. For more photos see page A18.
Whitney Griffiths photo
The ground at the Alex Fraser Park indoor arena was trampled by bull and steer riders over the weekend. From Feb. 27 – March 1 1970 Bull Riding World Champion Gary Leffew taught Quesnel bull riding enthusiasts the skills and techniques necessary for bull riding. Local professional bull rider Matt O’Flynn organized the event. He was taught by Leffew from the age of 18 so O’Flynn was able to rope Leffew into teaching at Quesnel’s own Bull and Steer riding school. “He [Leffew] doesn’t just teach bull riding he emulates positivity,” O’Flynn remarks. “He teaches you a good mind set because bull riding is 90 per cent mentally driven. This is definitely a dream. I went to his school as a kid and I never thought that I would be putting one on with him.” With more than 20 bull riders registered, from experience to beginners, the school was a success. Students were put through a series of drills throughout the three days, working on form and technique before taking on the challenge of riding a bull. Various levels of bulls were available to match the various skill levels of the students. For new riders, either really old or really young bulls were chosen, while the more experience at the school were placed on a bull with a little more kick. Three days of holding on tight only to be bucked off, resulted in more that a few achy muscles for the students.
Waveriders take on the AA short course provincials WHITNEY GRIFFITHS Observer Reporter Three Waveriders travelled to Chilliwack for the AA short course provincials: Luca Armstrong, swimming in the boys 11 and under category; Garnet Currie, representing Quesnel in the boys 14 and over category; and lone female Quesnel competitor Natasha Hanson swam in the 14 and over category. Waverider coach Jerrit Brink had high praises for all three swimmers who attended the meet. Armstrong’s efforts earned him a 10th place in the 100m freestyle and sixth in the 400m freestyle, as well as bringing in two personal bets times. “I was very happy to have Luca experience the second highest swimming
competition in B.C. and the fact that he’s only nine and competed against 10/11-year-olds is pretty cool too,” Brink explains. Fourteen-year-old Currie earned four personal best times, while also taking eighth place in the 100m butterfly and the 200m individual medley. Though Currie did not reach the podium it was a great experience for this Waverider. “It was pretty cool. I liked the pool – it wasn’t too warm so in the 1500 your body doesn’t overheat at all, I was pretty close to triples in a lot of races,” Currie said. Currie also had high praises for his fellow Waveriders Hanson and Armstrong. Coach Brink notes that Currie is ‘coming alive this season’ though Brink had not expected this
until June or July of this year, or possibly even the following year. “He is now very close to four or five AAA times, but it was his last 400 individual medley that shocked me,” Brink remarked. “He showed what he can do when he believes in himself and was part of a great race in his heat.” Big winner for the Waveriders at the event Hanson was still buzzing with the excitement of having podiumed for the first time at the short course provincials, even after making it back home. Having earned two personal best times, one in the 50m freestyle and another in the 100m freestyle, as well earning two gold medals for these swims, the event was a resounding success.

These times qualified Hanson for the upcoming AAA provincials in March. “Tashy nailed it big time in Chilliwack,” Brink said. “She did it true swim style. Meaning she went for personal best times in the preliminary rounds,
rested properly and then came back in the finals not only to capture gold but she collected AA level times in those races. Both races had me in suspense as one girl was right with her the whole time in both races. But Natasha pulled off some beautiful
turns that sealed the deal.” Next up for the Waveriders are the AAA provincials, B.C.’s highest level meet in Surrey. Hanson will be joined by fellow Waveriders qualifiers Lief Bradson, Logan Godsoe and Billy Swyers.

he FHL is unaffected by the trade deadline as BCS glides by Bear 6-2 and Fraser River doubles their pleasure in a 4-2 win over Serenity Steve Dodge In the feature PAPERBACK WRITER match in week 22 BCS didn’t miss their pair of Maui D-men at all as they built up an early lead and cruised to a 6-2 win over Bear. The dynamic duo of Justin Batman Rasmussen with a goal and four assists and Colin Robin Keis with a singleton and one helper once again set the tone for the league leaders who held a three zip lead after three shifts. A goal and an assist from their stalwart defense man Scott Little Softy Fairless had the Bear tender frustrated but it was two knuckleball tosses by Rob Lob Lentz that had the entire Bear side shaking their heads. Bear did muster a few scoring chances in the second half with Glen The Chemist Boudreau using his speed to fill a prescription as Brody The Plumber Neighbour used his soft hands for a breakaway beauty. Meanwhile in the Barn on Barlow, Fraser River and Serenity were both not playing with a full deck as the Chevy Crew outlasted the Builders for the 4-2 victory. With BCS’s win on the new rink, the rankings are now set for the playoffs but the scoring race has definitely heated up. With a pair of gorgeous goals Kevin Nightrider Hesslegrave holds a one point lead with three games to go with 28 goals and 28 assists for 56 points. Also scoring for Fraser River, both of the unassisted variety were two feisty forwards as Dave Chainsaw McCulloch cut to the chase as Jim EJ Sales hauled butt for his only goal in February. Flashing their offensive talents for Serenity were Wade The Blade Fenton and Chad The Comet Swanson who both had a goal and an assist as Eric Bonsai Bodman continues to battle out of his scoring slump with his third tally of the season.
