Constituent disgruntled by lack of face-to-face with MLA Oakes Waldriff feels a meeting is so important. “They are taking food off my family’s table and selling it for a profit,” he said. “It seems anything is for sale in this province.” Oakes said she’s pleased to have meetings that are “respectful and have always encouraged constituents to contact me via email or by calling my office through my bi-monthly column in the Quesnel Observer and the Williams Lake Tribune newspapers.” Text begins here. . .

“So I sent it again,” he said. “And they said they didn’t receive that one… that’s when I hand delivered it.” From there Waldriff said he emailed and called requesting a meeting with Oakes. “She said she supports our cause,” he said. “But I want to know how specifically she is showing that support.” Oakes issued a statement, noting: “The wildlife allocation is an important file that I

Parks Plan survey revealed
Council was presented with an overview of the Master Parks Plan survey results which was conducted in March 2015. The survey was to obtain public views on City parks.

satisfaction with city parks and identified a list of amenity and park improvement requests. For the complete survey results see the City’s website at www.quesnel.ca/ ourquesnel.html.

First Business Talks forum slated
Business owners from the City of Quesnel have been invited to participate in Quesnel’s first “Business Talks” forum, May 19, at the Royal Canadian Legion. Quesnel’s three business associations, Quesnel and District Chamber of Commerce, Community Futures North Cariboo, Quesnel Community and
Economic Development Corporation (QCEDC) and the City of Quesnel will all present the role they currently play in supporting existing business and attracting new business to Quesnel. The presentations will be followed by a discussion, facilitated by Mayor Bob Simpson, on how we can work together to
keep our existing business community vibrant and bring new businesses to Quesnel. The evening will wrap up with a presentation from Jim Savage, who has been hired by QCEDC to prepare a new marketing plan for the community. Business owners will be asked to provide feedback on the draft plan before a
final version is presented to council. “Our business organizations provide a tremendous value to our community,” Simpson said. “A Business Talks Forum provides these businesses a relaxed atmosphere to share with council and other supporting agencies the services that they value, and how we can
work together to make Quesnel the ideal choice for businesses looking to expand or relocate to the area” The discussion from the forum will be used in finalizing the marketing plan and as a starting point in building a new economic development strategy for the City of Quesnel.
“With our community in transition, it is important that we have a strong economic development strategy to move forward,” Simpson said. “That can not be developed without the input from our existing business community.” To register, email Amy Reid, areid@quesnelinfo. com

The kindness of McNaughton students
Susan Hjerpe is a student in the CNC social worker program in Quesnel. Through her program she has experienced the valuable contribution McNaughton students have made to the lives of Maeford Place residents and has chosen to present a two-part series, one from her perspective and one from a student’s perspective. The articles not only highlight student activities with regard to Maeford Place but also dispel some of the misconceptions surrounding those students. eople ask me a lot why are you in McNaughton? What led you to go to that school? They say it’s a school for “bad kids” or “drug addicts,” but it’s not at all and McNaughton Centre is not at all that. It’s a normal alternate high school for students that can’t connect or fit in in a normal school environment. The reason I’m here is because I didn’t fit in with the bigger school. I would never attend because I also had anxiety problems with small rooms and large crowds of people so I never attended classes, which resulted in getting kicked out. I’m not in McNaughton school because of drugs or being a bad kid. I just never could control my anxiety with the bigger school. I like McNaughton because it’s smaller classes and no crowded hallways. Also the teachers are more available to help students. The staff members at this school help students drive themselves to success and they push students to make the greatest possible effort in classes so we can finish them.

Honeyberries or haskup have become very popular in the last few years.
(JUST PAST PINNACLE PELLET)
Google image
Remember small fruit needs deep watering for best production H
ome gardeners have been planting more small fruits in the last few years. It is amazing what you can grow in a small space, plus many of these fruits add ornamental value to the garden. Here are a few tips to help increase the production in an edible landscape. Excellent fruit production can be had from just one plant of currants and gooseberries as they are self-pollinating. If currants are grown near gooseberries or Josta berries (cross between gooseberries and blackberries) the yields will be even better. Strawberries, raspberries, goji berries and Saskatoon are all self-pollinating. Blueberries are also self-pollinating but two or more varieties that bloom at the same time will result in better yields and larger berries. Blueberries love an acidic soil, unfortunately here in the Cariboo ours is alkaline. So it is
important every year to remember to spread a small handful of aluminum sulphate around the drip line of each medium sized plant. Not only are they valued for their fruit but they do have a beautiful fall colour. Also remember that blueberries hate to have their feet wet or encounter any form of drought. They are very shallow rooted. Good drainage is crucial as well as proper irrigation. They will also benefit from light organic mulch around the shrubs to help maintain the moisture during dry periods. Haskup or honeyberries have been all the rage in the last few years. They do require two different varieties to produce the largest and highest quantity of fruit. The University of Saskatchewan has a great website devoted to just haskups and a simple chart on cross pollination: http://www.fruit. usask.ca/haskap. html#Pollination
Basically, one pollinizer plant is needed for every five plants and they must bloom at the same time. A very good all round pollinator is ‘Berry Blue’ also called Czech 17, unlike Czech 11. I just threw that in to see if my friends read my articles as they will know what this means. ‘Berry Blue’ is a tall plant which produces lots of flowers, not the biggest fruit, but it will do the job of pollinating everything around it. If you are still wondering why you aren’t getting any fruit, be sure to look under the leaves, because sometimes the fruit is not that obvious, or as in my case, my dog has beaten me to the berries. Any flowering shrubs and trees will definitely benefit from an application of fertilizer such as 10-15-19 at this time of year. N, P and K: the first number is nitrogen (healthy foliage) – phosphorus (stimulates root growth and flower
production) – potash (improves disease resistance and fruit quality). And finally, always give your plants a good deep soaking to promote healthy deep roots, rather than infrequent short waterings that will
only result in shallow roots. These plants won’t be able to seek out the water during the upcoming dry spells of summer. Jean Atkinson is a horticulturist with Richbar Golf and Gardens and regular Observer columnist.

Playing with fire
W
ith 31 fires already this season, smoke drifting in from the Little Bobtail Lake Fire and hot temperatures forecasted, it’s ridiculous we must remind residents to exercise extreme caution with their campfires this long weekend. And yet we do. All 31 of those fires within the Cariboo fire centre are human caused and signs indicate the Prince George fire may have been human caused as well. Insert face palm. The Cariboo Fire Centre remind residents a Category 3 open burning prohibition came into effect for the Cariboo Fire Centre at noon on April 27. Specifically, this order prohibits fires that burn: • material concurrently in three or more piles, each not exceeding two metres in height and three metres in width; or • material in one or more piles, each exceeding two metres in height or three metres in width; or • one or more windrows; or • stubble or grass over an area exceeding 0.2 hectares (more than 2,000 square metres). As of press time Thursday no campfire prohibition was in effect. However, anyone wishing to light an open fire must watch for changing weather conditions and follow all burning regulations in order to reduce the number of preventable wildfires. Campfires must not be larger than 0.5 metres by 0.5 metres and a shovel or at least eight litres of water must be nearby to extinguish the fire should it escape. Please, enjoy the long weekend and the comfort of a toasty fire, but for the love of all things holy, do it responsibly. –Autumn MacDonald, Observer
For love of the game
I
met my husband 20 years ago through a mutual friend who played on his baseball team. “Tell him Shippy says hi,” Ken James said after suggesting I look up his teammate at my new place of employment. “Maybe he’ll introduce you to some people.” I thought that was a good idea and after a few days on the job I emailed Paul Welbourne, also known as “Nuke” to Ken and the rest of their team. Even though he worked in a different building than I did, we arranged to meet for coffee at the end of the day. At the time Paul was a pitcher in a competitive men’s league with the Vancouver Pharaohs. He also played softball with a group of work pals I met after our coffee. We became fast friends and I soon learned how passionate his family was for the sport. His nieces and nephews played in T-Ball and little league, his sisters played when they were younger and his father played for many years and by the time I met him he
Lori Welbourne
On A Brighter Note was a provincial commissioner of Babe Ruth Baseball. Since then Gord Welbourne has been honoured by the Coquitlam Sports Hall of Fame and the Babe Ruth Hall of Fame for his 45 years of service for the North American association. Even Grandpa Charlie was a ball player and heavily involved in growing the sport in Burnaby before and after World War II. But now the only one in the Welbourne clan who plays ball regularly is our 11-year-old daughter, Daisy. Without any coaxing from us, she felt it was her destiny and joined the Westside Outlaws in the Westside Minor Fastball Association three years ago. Initially she wasn’t always
each pitch was thrown. It felt like slow motion to me as I tried to telepathically send her a message to relax, have fun and go for it. Finally, the decisive moment that would determine a win or loss for the Outlaws was upon us. With two strikes and three balls, my daughter stood at home plate ready for the last pitch. As the girls and the coach cheered her on, affectionately calling her “Crazy”, my friend’s dad yelled “Here’s your chance to be a hero.” I held my breath, the ball was thrown, and Daisy swung at it with everything she had, plowing it straight down the middle to the outfield, as the girls on base ran into home, winning the game. It was tremendously exciting and one of those times I wish a video camera had been rolling. It was also one of those moments that has Daisy feeling her family’s passion for baseball even more than she already did. Lori Welbourne is a syndicated columnist.

focused and it wouldn’t be unusual to see her doing cartwheels or the splits in the outfield. But in the last year she’s suddenly become more serious about the sport and keen on getting better. As a result of her improvements, as well as those of all her teammates, the games have become more interesting to watch. The most exciting one I’ve witnessed personally happened at a recent tournament in Summerland when her team was down 12 runs in the last inning of the finals. We didn’t think there was much of a chance they’d win a medal at that point, but after Daisy’s friend, Sammi, shut down their opponents with her superb pitching and the entire team came together to make an incredible comeback with a bunch of runs, they unexpectedly had a chance to win. It was one of those nailbiting experiences I’ll never forget. With two outs and the bases loaded it was Daisy’s turn up at bat. Standing on the sidelines I felt increasingly stressed as

advisor provision and where shared service providers are designated by the Minister of Education. •That BCSTA publicly advocate strongly against the erosion of local Board of Education autonomy in Bill 11. •That BCSTA demand an immediate review of the intent of Bill 11 legislation and an opportunity to
recommend amendments prior to final adoption as well as the formation of a management partners’ working group to participate in the development of any subsequent process or resulting regulations.

West Fraser seeing results from completed projects West Fraser Timber Co. Ltd. reported earnings of $49 million or $0.58 basic earnings per share on sales of $1,014 million in the first quarter of 2015. In the quarter the lumber operations generated operating earnings of $84 million (Q4-14 – $90 million) and adjusted EBITDA of $117 million (Q4-14 – $121 million). Reduced shipments and lower U.S. prices for spruce, pine, fir (SPF) lumber were substantially offset by the benefit provided by a weaker Canadian dollar. Lumber markets weakened in the quarter, largely reflecting adverse weather conditions in eastern Canada and the U.S., as well as in parts of the U.S. south. The panel segment, which includes plywood, laminated veneer (LVL) and medium density fiberboard (MDF), generated operating earnings in the quarter of $23 million (Q4-14 – $22 million) and adjusted EBITDA of $26 million (Q4-14 – $25 million), mostly reflecting increased Canadian dollar MDF prices. Plywood prices
and shipments were reduced, reflecting both the weatherrelated constraints on Canadian construction as well as the oil and gasrelated uncertainties in western Canada. Pulp and paper operations generated operating earnings in the quarter of $20 million (Q4-14 – $3 million) and adjusted EBITDA of $30 million (Q4-14 - $12 million). Canadian dollar equivalent northern bleached softwood kraft (NBSK) prices improved and our
increased NBSK production and shipments reflected positive developments at our Hinton pulp mill following extended reliability issues both in the previous quarter and the early part of 2015. As weather conditions improve in eastern Canada and U.S. we expect increased construction activity will improve demand for our building products. “The first quarter reminded us that we are still in the early
W
stages of the U.S. housing recovery and as such volatility in lumber markets should be expected,” Ted Seraphim, President and CEO, said. “Nevertheless we remain optimistic regarding the medium term outlook for lumber markets. We are continuing to execute on our major capital investment program and I am pleased that we are seeing some very positive results from many of our completed projects.”

Nathan is a healthy happy little boy thanks to organ donation
One transplant at a time

ANNIE GALLANT Observer Reporter
F
or four-year-old Nathan Dillabough, life is good. He’s an active, engaging little boy with ample curiosity and energy. However, he has packed a lot of dramatic life into his few short years. Nathan’s mother Lauren Dillabough knew before he was born there were medical problems. His kidneys weren’t fully developed. Born a month premature, Nathan arrived at Children’s Hospital in Vancouver on March 19, 2011 and was immediately diagnosed with kidney disease and prune belly (a lack of stomach muscles), enlarged bladder and he wasn’t properly processing urine – all directly related to his kidney disease. “He only had 20 per cent kidney function at birth,” Lauren said. “We stayed in Vancouver until April and they told us dialysis was a possibility.” Nathan and Lauren returned to Quesnel but in June 2011 were racing back to Children’s Hospital with Nathan’s potassium levels dangerously high. “We lived in the hospital for three months,” she said. “They had to get his potassium levels down before they could do anything else.” It was a stressful time for this new mother but she reported Nathan was a happy baby throughout. “I was a mess,” she said ruefully. Grampa David Dillabough was home
with Nathan’s older brother. During this time, Nathan had a feeding tube inserted, his hemoglobin dropped dramatically requiring a transfusion and three weeks later they inserted his dialysis tube. Yes, Nathan would require peritoneal dialysis and in order to take him home and Lauren had to be trained in the procedure. “I was scared to do anything to my child knowing it was life and death,” she said. Peritoneal dialysis is a treatment which uses the patient’s peritoneum in the abdomen as a membrane across which
fluids and dissolved substances are exchanged from the blood. Hemodialysis is the most common way to treat advanced kidney failure but must be administered in a medical facility. “Hemodialysis is not an option if you live in the north,” Lauren said. Peritoneal dialysis kept her son alive from Aug. 2011 – Dec. 2013. Nathan wasn’t eligible for the transplant list until he was at least 10 kg and with the help of growth hormones and shots he achieved that threshold in June 2013. “Nathan was at the top of the transplant list because his kidney function
had diminished,” Lauren said. It was an amazing coincidence when grampa David and Nathan were at Children’s Hospital to learn the dialysis procedure, Doug was advised he wouldn’t be receiving the training. A kidney had become available for Nathan. “We had a 12-hour window of opportunity for this cadaver donor,” David said. “It was a five-hour operation and his new kidney began working immediately.” Nathan will be on anti-rejection drugs for the rest of his life and must protect his new kidney which means no contact sports, but he’s thriving. “The day the feeding tube came out was a celebration,” Lauren said. “He basically has no food restrictions and must return to Children’s Hospital every three months, but he’s healthy and happy.” Both mother and grandfather are grateful for the At Home program which allowed Nathan to enjoy time at home while waiting for a donor and the Easter Seal House which covered costs of staying in the Lower Mainland. The family is connected to the Kidney Foundation which provides support and vital information for those with chronic kidney disease. But the one clear passionate message from David was, “sign your donor card.” Recent changes to the organ donor registry allows residents to sign up at any ServiceBC counter in the province as well as online.
Lots of early greens, baking, meats and crafts available.

WRITING CONTEST WINNER
The exchange between canine and human is often profound I named my dog Ugly Buggly. He turned up on my doorstep one Halloween – a big gentle chestnutcoloured shepherd mix from the local reserve. My other dogs seemed to like him even though he wasn’t intact. His nose was swollen and infected from a gunshot wound (probably from chasing cattle to survive) and he was full of worms, but oh, so calm and friendly. He loved other dogs. He loved kids. I fell in love with him. I spent a lot of money fixing him at the vet and finally when his owner turned up, I paid $100 to keep him. I couldn’t bear him to end up being shot or dying of sickness and neglect. When I moved to Quesnel, I had Buggly assessed as a CHAAPS therapy dog and literacy dog. He was wonderful with the resident at Dunrovin, as well as the kids in school. He became more animated than usual during the visits to Dunrovin, trying to provide the people there with some healing energy. He was big enough for them to easily reach him to stroke his fur or he would sit calmly next to them while they talked to him. One day, shortly before Christmas, we went down into Maple House. We visited with some of the residents and then one of the nurses asked if he could
On April 23 the winners of the writing contest were awarded their prizes at the Quesnel Library meeting. Several members of the public were in attendance. The winners read their very interesting stories and other entrants also shared their stories orally as did some of the public.

Contributed photo visit with a lady strapped into a big chair in front of the television. She had lost the ability to speak in words, but made
baby sounds and was clearly trying to communicate. I told her about my dog and she continued to make her baby sounds. I felt she was trying to tell me something important. Buggly sat beside me, his head tilting from side to side. Buggly was a dog that talked a lot, but usually he would “woo” like a malamute. Instead, he looked directly at this lady and started making baby noises back. The hair on the back of my neck stood up. There was a moment of utter silence as the lady looked at him and he at her. The nurses were stunned. “She never goes quiet” one said. She was still quiet as they wheeled her away to lunch. To this day, I don’t know what was said between them. Unfortunately, when we returned after Christmas, the lady had died. I do truly believe, however, that she and Buggly shared some meaningful communication. Buggly passed away in 2013 at a guestimated age of 13 – a good age for a big dog. He brought so much pleasure to so many people, but the memory that day will always stay with me as a real example of how animals can reach people in a way that is powerful and special.

Extreme aerobatics coming to Quesnel ANNIE GALLANT Observer Reporter
Quesnel’s Skyfest 2015 Airshow, July 31 – Aug. 2, welcomes Jon Melby to the lineup for this year’s spectacular performance roster. Melby is an airshow pilot with more than 35 years of flying experience. He has flown dozens of aircraft types and currently performs in a highly modified Pitts S-111B bi-plane. He knew at the age of eight he wanted to fly, had soloed in a nonpowered glider before his 16th birthday and purchased his first airplane at age 19. After hiring an instructor to teach him to fly his plane, Melby received his pilot’s license by flying every day for three weeks. After owning several Cessna passenger type aircraft, in 1996, Melby followed his passion and purchased a Pitts S2B bi-plane and spent three months training to compete in aerobatic contests, eventually winning the Arizona State Sportsman champion. Melby had found what fired him, now flying extreme freestyle aerobatics at airshows.
When not flying his airplane, Melby is a technical senior manager for a major stock brokerage firm and in his free time enjoys many other activities such as ice hockey, gold, guitar and riding his Harley Davidson adding travel as well, no matter the destination. Melby’s current aircraft is a black and yellow factory-built Pitts muscle bi-plane. There are only two factory built S-1-11B aircraft flaking in the world today. With only a single seat and very light weight, the S-1-11B provides a perfect platform for flying high energy aerobatics. Made of metal tubing frame, wood spar/ribs and mostly fabric covering, the S-1-11B cruises at 195 miles per hour and can climb non-stop vertically from zero to 2,500 at sea level. During normal climb out, it does an amazing 4,000 feet per minute climb rate, compared to a small single engine passenger plane that climbs around 750 feet per minute. Melby employs smoke in his performance using Dialys-ax
grade of oil which is stored in a six-gallon smoke tank located under the amin fuel tank. With speed, agility and onboard navigation systems, Melby can fly his Pitts bi-plane to any show in North America. Once on site at an airshow, Melby enjoys meeting his fans almost as much as performing. Being approachable is the key to his special relationship with the crowd. It’s not completely about what he does in the air, it’s also how he reacts with the crowd on the ground. That, to Melby, is what an airshow pilot is all about. Tickets (adult, youth, family and weekend camping package) for Skyfest 2015 are available at Circle ‘S’ Western Wear, the Tourist Bureuu or online at www.quesnelskyfest.ca/ tickets. Mustang tickets can be purchased at various venues around town and at Cariboo Ford during the Community Drive event May 23 and other local events.

Hendrika Mulder (nee Derks) November 21, 1922 ~ April 27, 2015
Hendrika Mulder (nee Derks) passed away on April 27, 2015 at the Sarcee Hospice in Calgary Alberta at the honourable age of 92. Rika was born in the Dutch East Indies (Indonesia) on November 21, 1922 to Hermanus and Adrianna Derks. Her parents had gone there in 1917 to work for the Dutch Highway Department. She took her role as little sister to Herman and Adriaan very seriously and never passed on an opportunity to be spoiled by her two older brothers. She went back to Holland by ship after World War II ended. On that trip she met Albert Mulder who she married in 1949. In 1951 after their daughter Audrey was born they decided to move to Canada. They immigrated with another couple and lived in Port Alberni, BC before moving to Quesnel in 1952. Their middle child Anton (Tony) was born in 1952 and in 1954 Robert (Rob) was born. Her husband had always wanted to be a photographer and finally realized his dream in 1960. Rika and Albert owned and ran Mulders Photo and Hobby Shop for 21 years. They took school pictures for Quesnel and the surrounding area and Rika ensured that there would never be a hair out of place and a happy smile on each child. She loved working at the shop, meeting people and seeing her husband live out his passion. The family enjoyed sailing (boats they built themselves
there for the last 27 years. Esther McIntosh was her guide in learning to live on her own and she was deeply grateful for her help. Rika was always willing to drive friends in her brown 1985 GM Safari. She was honoured with a Life Time membership at the Bowness Seniors’ Centre and had officially served on the board, heading up the club’s Sick and Visiting Committee. in the living room of course), flying model airplanes, motorcycle and car racing. Thanks to encouragement and lessons from her daughter Rika learned to drive when she was 50. After Albert passed away in 1984 from lung cancer Rika moved to Calgary to live with her daughter and son-in-law who had moved there that year. Her daughter lived in Montgomery and through the Bowmont Seniors’ Association (5000) Rika found out about the Bowness Seniors’ Centre and became a member in 1986. Joining the club was instrumental in helping Rika make friends and she loved to volunteer and be involved. The thing she liked the best was visiting with people while serving tea and coffee. She played cards and spent lots of daytimes on outings and trips in and around Calgary. She also liked taking her daughter and son-in-law to the dinner dances. Rika crocheted many afghans for the club to sell or give to “Inn from the Cold”. Rika moved into her bachelorette pad at Bow Centre Place in 1988 and lived
Rika is predeceased by her daughter Audrey who passed away in July 2006. Her son Rob has been her best friend for the last several years, calling her almost daily and visiting her every other week. She leaves behind her sons Rob and Tony and her son-in-law Wayne, her beautiful grandchildren and even better looking great-grandkids. Rika would be honoured if you thought of her when you take a picture with someone you love and gave a special smile to someone in need. Rika will be buried by her daughter at the Tatalrose cemetery in Southbank BC.

The U10 teams QGSA president, Debbie Bautista. took the extra week to get in some practice, while the U12 and U14/16 girls started the season off with games. Last weekend, May 9 – 10, the QGSA held their annual ice break tournament to officially kick-off the season. The sun was shinning down on Quesnel, both teams and spectators were able to lounge in the sunshine while watching two days of softball action. “This year has been awesome. It is very exciting. The best part for me was this weekend we had our ice breaker,” QGSA president Debbie Bautista said. “This is my fourth year coaching and you get to know all these kids. It’s like a big family.” Bautista also remarked on the improved skill level of this years teams. Along with the weather playing in the teams favour Bautista remarked on the higher registration, making it possible to create even more teams than usual. Bautista credits this spike in registration to an avid use of social media during the off-season with many returning and new players coming to enjoy a year of fun-filled softball action. In the U10 division, the team rosters will be larger than usual. Though registration was high enough to make five teams there will only be four. “We didn’t have enough jerseys or sponsors to create another equipment bag,” Bautista said. “We would have had more than enough for five teams. Next year we will be hitting the pavement and getting more sponsors.” Next up for the QGSA is the invitational tournament , May 23 – 24. Though the tournament is usually just Prince George and Quesnel teams Bautista has been in talks with Barrier, Houston and Chetwynd. Until then the girls will be at the West Fraser Timber Park Monday – Thursday for their regular scheduled practices and games. There is no rest for these softballs fanatics.
