Gold Pan real estate ‘holding own’ AUTUMN MacDONALD Observer Reporter
With real estate numbers slightly down throughout the Cariboo, the Gold Pan City is no exception, however some areas are seeing growth. “We are seeing a lot more activity in business sales, industrial and commercial, as well as, multifamily units,” BCNREB vicepresident William Lacy said. “It’s great to see that not only is the detached housing market solid, but people are seeing Quesnel as a solid investment, and backing that viewpoint with actual dollars.” In Quesnel realtors reported 122 sales topping $23 million so far this year, compared to 125 sales worth $24.2 in the first six months of last year. Of the 56 single family homes sold between January and June, half sold for less than $210,000; these homes took, on average, 94 days to sell. Fifteen parcels of vacant land, 26 homes on acreage, four manufactured homes in parks and 11 manufactured homes on land have sold in the first six months of 2015. As of June 30 there were 336 properties of all types available for purchase through the MLS.

“With such nice weather this year, it seemed like consumers had other things to do rather than buy and sell homes, but in the second quarter a busy market got us back on track,” Lacy said. “We are slightly behind on our total sales volume year to date, but I think we will see a steady summer and a busy fall, as we did last year, and we are cautiously optimistic that we will end the year strong.” Comparatively, Williams Lake saw a slight increase with 185 properties sold, compared to 179 of last year, however value went down, with a sales worth of $41 this year and $42 for 2014. In 100 Mile 157 properties changed hands compared to 156, with a property worth of $31 million (same in 2014). “Even though, Quesnel is being touted as a community in transition, the real estate side of thing seems to be on solid ground,” Lacy said. “It isn’t a runaway freight train like Vancouver, but we are holding our own and as the community, as a whole, reaches out to promote the benefits of living in a wonderful community like Quesnel, there is a good chance that things will only get better.”
Additional police presence There will be added police presence during BB Days. With their partners from the Prince George Integrated Road Safety Unit and the North District and Cariboo-Chilcotin Traffic Units, the Quesnel RCMP is reminding everybody to act responsibly during Billy Barker Days. Check stops and roving patrols will be used to ensure the
roadways are kept safe for all users. If you are drinking, don’t drive. Arrange for a designated driver or a taxi ahead of time. Along with extra patrols from Traffic Units there will also be police officers conducting foot and bike patrols throughout Quesnel. As most events associated with Billy Barker Days are geared towards families there will be no tolerance for drinking in public.

For the past few weeks it’s been all hands on deck to refurbish the rodeo arena and surrounding structures ahead of the annual Billy Barker Days rodeo. This year the Quesnel Rodeo Club led the charge on sprucing up the sponsor signs, the metal fencing, gazebo, lower concession and the announcer’s booth in part because this is the 50th anniversary of the Quesnel Rodeo Club and also because it needed an update.

Rainy weather helps Puntzi Lake fire crews Due to an up-to-date tight line map, the Puntzi Lake Wildfire burning on the north side of Puntzi Lake is now estimated at 8,089 hectares. As of press time the wildfire was 30 per cent contained on the south west flank. The fire has received approximately 17 millimetres of rain since Saturday, July 11, which contributed to suppression efforts on the fireline. Favourable weather in the last few days has allowed crews to direct attack the fire along the perimeter. Mop up efforts continue in and around private property and homes affected by the wildfire. The forecast is calling for three to five days of continued cooler temperatures and isolated showers. The BC Wildfire Service will be taking advantage of this downturn in weather to further establish control of the Puntzi Lake Wildfire. Due to progress on this wildfire the Cariboo Regional District has revised the Evacuation Order to allow some residents to return home. For more details and updated maps please visit the Cariboo Regional District’s Emergency Operations Facebook page at: https://www. facebook.com/CRDEmergencyOperations It takes a significant amount of sustained rain to snuff out a wildfire. The effects of rain on a fire would depend on the amount of rain, how long it fell for, the humidity of the area around the fire, and the current level of fire activity being observed at the incident. While the fire danger rating in the Cariboo Fire Centre is low to moderate all it would take is a few days of hot and dry weather to increase the risk of fire activity. To report smoke, flames or an unattended open fire, call 1 800 663-5555 toll-free or dial *5555 on a cellphone. For information on current wildfire activity visit: www.bcwildfire. ca.

Shaw seeking Liberal nomination for Cariboo riding Matt Shaw is seeking the nomination to run for the Liberal Party of Canada in the next federal election for the CaribooPrince George riding. As a young man, Shaw lived on a farm near Vanderhoof, B.C. It was there that he learned the value of hard work and personal responsibility. He graduated from Nechako Valley Secondary School and worked at Plateau Sawmill before leaving Vanderhoof to attend Simon Fraser University. He then moved to Prince George, where he has lived for the last 26 years. He has spent his career as a teacher, counsellor, and author. His wife of thirty years, Joanne Shaw, is an elementary school principal. They have a teenage son. Shaw is very grateful for the opportunities that this region has given him, and he wants to promote the interests of the people of Cariboo-Prince George with an extremely high level of commitment and energy. He feels strongly that working families are being squeezed by high taxes and a rapidlyincreasing cost of living, and he wants to work toward easing this burden. He also feels that

B.C. to review bottled water rates
ARE YOU PAINTING THIS YEAR? WHAT WE DO:
TOM FLETCHER Black Press Premier Christy Clark has promised a review of rates charged for water used in bottling, after an online petition called on the government to increase the nominal rate the province will collect starting next year. Swiss conglomerate Nestlé will pay the same rate as other industrial water users for its bottled water operation near Hope, but as largest water bottler in B.C. the it has been singled out for protest as drought conditions continue across the province. An online campaign by SumOfUs.org, which calls itself a “global consumer watchdog,” has gathered more than 200,000 signatures since February, which the group planned to to deliver to the Langley constituency office of Environment Minister Mary Polak this week. Polak said Tuesday the protest against Nestlé Waters has produced some misconceptions about how groundwater is regulated in B.C. “People keep saying there’s a deal with Nestlé,” Polak said. “There isn’t. They pay the same as any other industrial user, in fact the highest industrial rate, and it goes for anything from

Environment Minister Mary Polak said Tuesday the protest against Nestlé Waters has produced some misconceptions about how groundwater is regulated in B.C. File photo hydraulic fracturing to bottled water, those involved in mining for example, any of those heavy industrial uses.” She warned that those demanding an increase in the rate of $2.25 per 1,000 cubic metres of water should understand the risk that B.C. could lose control of the resource. If groundwater is treated as a commodity like oil or minerals, the North American Free Trade Agreement would allow the U.S. to demand equal access. The charge for using groundwater is called a water rental, to avoid any suggestion of transfer of ownership, Polak said. The rate was set in a recent review of provincial water legislation, to raise
$11 million a year from industrial water users to cover the administrative costs of the water licence system. Nestlé Waters says its Hope operation
uses one per cent of the available groundwater flowing through Kawkawa Lake, with no impact on the watershed in 15 years of regulated operation.

Plan ahead With the crashes seen lately on the region’s highways and arterial roads, and even the fender benders on the commute and in parking lots, it’s clear something is happening. We wonder if drivers’ attention spans are diminished this time of year or if some more scientific reason exists for what seems to be an increased number of traffic incidents. For certain, at this time of year many of us are anxious to get to our destinations, whether it be work or shopping, heading out for holidays or travelling to the homes of friends or relatives for an evening or weekend barbecue or gathering. Regardless of the journey’s end, it’s worth taking a little extra time to plan ahead for the travel, whether it be the route you’re taking, the time you depart or a combination of the two. Both can pose challenges with more people on the roads, and create unnecessary stress that often leads to aggressive and unsafe driving actions. On the highway that weaves through two West Shore municipalities but collects vehicles from all five of our jurisdictions at one time or another every day, we’ve all seen people passing when it’s unsafe, driving at overly high speeds or tailgating, to name a few indiscretions. If no crash or mishap occurs as a result of such behaviours, the people victimized by such aggressive driving can count themselves lucky. But that’s not always the case. As the popular bumper sticker states, “Failure to plan on your part does not dictate an emergency on my part.” How true. Demonstrating patience is not necessarily taught by driving schools or listed in any handbook, but it’s a critically important aspect of defensive driving. Preventing all examples of dangerous driving on the highway or lower-speed roads is impossible, so we have to ensure we’re prepared for the possibility of encountering bad drivers. For those of you who are in the midst of helping teach young people to drive, it’s a perfect opportunity to point out what not to do on the roads. Keep an eye on the road ahead, including the traffic directly in front of you, and scan side to side, in case you’re going to miss the traffic light. Anticipating what other drivers are going to do, or could do, will go a long ways toward ensuring the safety of yourself and any passengers you might have in the vehicle. At the very least, remember to breathe when behind the wheel. You’ll get there eventually, even without driving like a knucklehead. –BP

Paws for consideration
couple of nights ago I was greeted in my driveway by a small black kitten. As I carried in my bags from the truck, she followed me to the door and when I opened it she peeked in with a curious look. It was far too late to go looking for her home, so I put my hand down and scooped her up before she had a chance to notice our dog and bolt away. As adorable as she was, I wasn’t keen on taking her in because I’m highly allergic to cats, but there was no way I was leaving her outside with the dangers of traffic and wildlife around. The sweet little creature was wearing a pink collar with no tags and I couldn’t see a tattoo in her ear. I showed her to my children who had friends sleeping over. “We saw her out on the road earlier,” they said excitedly. “She’s so cute!” Immediately loving the new animal in our house, the kids started speculating on her name as I looked at lost and found pages online. “Can we name her Hiccup?” my daughter’s friend asked. “Or Shadow?” my daugh-
Lori Welbourne
On A Brighter Note ter, Daisy suggested. “Or Pickle?” I told them they could give her whatever temporary name they wanted and then I started to sneeze. Multiple times. My eyes began to water incessantly and I made the foolish mistake of rubbing them, which only made me feel worse. I called the SPCA, and as the lady who answered checked their records, I made small talk explaining my allergic reaction and that I’d be taking her to a vet to have her scanned for a microchip. She said they hadn’t had any reports of a lost black cat in our area and then gave me some advice I was shocked to hear: “You can just go on ahead and re-home her then,” she said. “People shouldn’t be letting their cats run loose.” I assured her I’d keep
nected to the finder and got his beloved family member back. Luckily Oreo hadn’t been relocated to another city like stolen dogs often are. Without a microchip or a tattoo to identify him as the owner, he likely never would have seen her again. As for the kitten I found, her name turned out to be Diamond and she wasn’t far from home. er owner saw the ad online and called me. The recently spayed kitty is now back where she belongs with her very relieved and grateful humans. Almost all pets found on their own have a family who wants them back. Rehoming them before trying to find them doesn’t just hurt the people involved, but the animals as well. Never assume stray, always think lost or stolen. Keeping pets safe and getting them micro-chipped is important. There have been over 90 stolen and missing dogs in the Okanagan in the last 18 months, and that is nothing to sneeze at.

looking for the owner instead and asked her about the status of our dog who’s been missing since March, with thoughts of him being re-homed running through my mind. Do people really do that? Yes, I found out, they often do - and far too quickly. On Monday someone sent me an ad that was on Craigslist about a dog found at a campground in Oliver. The finder assumed the animal was abandoned and she was advertising for a new home for her. When I posted the ad to Stolen and Missing Dogs of the Okanagan on Facebook many people made comments about how important it was that she look for the owner and report it to dog control rather than try to adopt out the pup. Initially she was insistent that the canine had been abandoned by its owners, but there was no proof of that so she eventually took her to the pound and had her scanned for a microchip. Unfortunately she didn’t have one, but through many people sharing the ad on social media, the frantic owner who’d posted about his lost dog several times on Facebook was later con-

Putting Quesnel on the world map
ust found out that tomato plants take everything out of the ground and put nothing back in. This reminds me very much of the corporate sector. So I think that every corporate logo should be white on a white background with here and there some tomato pits. Isn’t it remarkable that nature can give us such a realistic perspective? If tomatoes give us a realistic perspective, then what are we going to do with that perspective? We can change the tomato plant location and moan about the barren ground it leaves or put
Letters to the Editor

FROM WITHIN the tomato plants in pots isolated and disposable. The more I think about it the more a tomato plant becomes a simile of the corporate sector. So, what we have to do is contain the corporate sector and put their waste in a sort of compost box. Since a tomato plant cannot grow in their
own depleted soil they become a permanent pot plant. Everybody who is in favour of this concept should fly a white flag with a red tomato in the center. My suggestion is to buy a Japanese flag, it has already a red ball in the centre, so all it needs is to paint some tomato plant leaves on top of the red ball. I sincerely hope this tomato saga has inspired you to contain the corporate sector. Here is a little message that I read and want to share with you and I quote: “If each of us spends one hundred dollars a year more on local businesses
instead of chain stores, there will be an extra three million dollars in the economy and it will create thousands of jobs every year.” It is a simple beginning, but it is better than watching TV and doing nothing about a worsening situation. Canada has lost thousands of jobs in the automotive industry; which went to Mexico where wages and taxes are a lot lower. The Canadian Conservative Party brought in the free trade under Mulroney, but it is doing nothing for the thousands of Canadians
who had jobs in the manufacturing industry. In the meantime the Conservatives are giving away our resources at the cost of the environment. If this keeps on going, Canadians might as well move to Ethiopia, where water, food and money are hardly available. OK this is a bit over the edge, but not all that far. The West Coast is under drought conditions and the Cowichan River on Vancouver Island has never been so low. This is already affecting crops and a long list of our water depending West Coast. Add to this record
breaking heat waves and forest fires and take a more serious look at the potted tomato and potted corporations. I think there is a sort of eerie likeness to the humble tomato plants and the corporations; they don’t leave anything but waste. Me thinks we should get started and make white flags with a tomato on it for our cars, bikes and houses. Big movements have started on a smaller scale and what is wrong with putting Quesnel on the world map. Bert de Vink’s a longtime Quesnel resident and Observer contributor.

A piano now sits in Spirit Square ready for anyone to play ANNIE GALLANT Observer Reporter
I
t’s origins lost in the mists of time, the piano that now graces Spirit Square is about 103 years old and has a checkered history. First believed to have traveled by boat from Scotland with Joan Thomson, the upright Webber piano settled into Aarron and Joan Thomson’s home in Prince George. Aarron was one of Prince George’s first city councillors and together the couple had four children. Son Matthew and daughter Sandra took lessons on the piano. The instrument remained in the Prince George home until Sandra took possession of the piano once she settled in Nanaimo. On the move again, the piano then relocated to Matthew’s home in Quesnel where his daughter Angela, at 7 years old, began taking lessons on the family piano. “I took lessons for about five years, then it sat for almost 10 years, neglected and abandoned,” she said with a sad smile. Once again on the move, Angela lent the piano to a friend for about eight years where her daughter also took lessons on the now well-traveled instrument, albeit for just a brief period of time. In 2013 the piano came back home to Angela where her daughter Holley began lessons. Both Angela and Holley credit the piano, at least in part, along with Holley’s talent and commitment, to her being awarded a gold medal in the 2015
Festival of the Performing Arts for her piano performances. By now, the piano was looking and sounding a little worse for wear and Angela’s father Matthew purchased a brand new Yamaha keyboard for Holley. “It barks like a dog an sounds like fireworks,” Holley said with a laugh. “And it sounds like a baby grand.” Although enamoured with her new keyboard, both Holley and the family weren’t ready to ditch the old Webber. “It was really showing its age and not growing old gracefully,” Angela admit-
ted. “But we wanted to find it a final home.” Everyone knew its days were numbered and the 103-year-old instrument wasn’t suitable even for a beginner to learn on. Angela put it on social media they were looking for a final home for the piano. At the same time Quesnel Downtown Association was on the hunt for a piano for Spirit Square for the public to bang away on. A friend of Angela connected the dots and the deal was done. QDA’s Charlene
Lawrence gratefully accepted the donation and the piano was moved to it’s permanent location thanks to Willis-Harper Home Hardware. For security, the piano is chained to the concrete but anyone can lift the lid and tickle the ivories. “Since we installed the piano people have been playing it, taking care of it and nothing has been damaged,” Lawrence said. Now the Webber has had a charming facelift thanks to Cheryl Norquay of Inside Out, Whimsical Art. Musical notes float across the fall board (front of piano) and stylized sunflowers flank the sides. Norquay revealed the first few bars on the front are from Oh Canada. She said her inspiration for the decorations came from the way music floats on air and is free and cheerful for all. “When I was painting, I heard from lots of people who said how nice it was to have a piano in Spirit Square,” she said. “And apparently a lot of people are using it.” Lawrence added that despite the fact pianos aren’t designed to be outside and it’s almost impossible to tune it (it won’t maintain the tuning), the piano cost nothing and every key that’s played is more life for the old Webber. “This has all the earmarks of a long range plan – we’ll replace the piano as necessary,” Lawrence said. “This piano allows people to have access to a piano who might not otherwise be able to. We’re hoping the community will embrace the piano and help keep it safe and available for whoever chooses to play.”

BCNEWS The B.C. legislature has convened with the opposition focus on a lack of guarantees for B.C. jobs in the government’s project agreement for a major liquefied natural gas project at Prince Rupert. NDP leader John Horgan confirmed Monday his party will vote against legislation setting terms for the Petronas-led Pacific Northwest LNG project, mainly due to a lack of assurances for local employment and purchasing. He also cited opposition from some First Nations communities. “This government has constrained the ability of the next government to look at this deal to increase royalties back the Crown, to increase greenhouse gas emission laws to protect the public,” Horgan said. “That’s just unconscionable and we won’t support it.” Premier Christy Clark staged an announcement of new funding for apprenticeship training Monday, arguing that her government’s retooling of post-secondary education is a response to investors who want to hire B.C. and Canadian workers wherever they can. “There’s a reason the unions support what we’re doing, and there’s a reason that the unions disagree with what Mr. Horgan has said,” Clark said. “It’s because they know that if we work together and we’re making sure British Columbians are first in line for those jobs, British Columbians will get those jobs first.” Clark scoffed at Horgan’s claim that up to 70 per cent of construction jobs on the Prince Rupert project could go to foreign workers. The figure comes from Pacific Northwest’s filing to the federal environmental review, describing the potential impact of a large out-of-town workforce on northwestern B.C. communities.

B.C. politicians battle over LNG jobs consulting engineers’ report says “Canadian workers will account for 70 per cent of the onsite workforce for the first three years of
construction. Due to competition from labour from other projects, Canadian workers may account for 30 per cent of the on-
site workforce for the remaining two years of construction.” In the final stages, B.C. LNG projects would assemble com-
pression and refrigeration components manufactured offshore, with specialty skills such as welding metal alloys designed
for low-temperature operation. Clark said the Australian government did not develop a local workforce for
LNG projects, and some of their projects were cancelled in the face of high labour costs and skilled trades shortages.

Novelty act Kent Pietsch brings aerobatic excellence to SkyFest 2015 Kent Pietsch, in his 800-pound Interstate Cadet with a 37-foot wingspan, stumbles a descent then scrapes his wingtip down the runway, the crowd gasps, not certain if this is part of the act or truly a tragedy unfolding before them. It’s all part of this veteran airshow pilot’s spectacular show which is part of SkyFest - 2015 Quesnel’s International Airshow, July 31 – Aug. 2 at the Quesnel Airport. But Pietsch has other tricks in his bag including a dead-stick routine from 6,000 feet and a rooftop landing on a moving RV. When Pietsch is at the controls of his plane, it’s impossible not to watch him perform. “If you can’t entertain, you have no business being out there,” he said. “The gratification is in knowing that people are enjoying themselves.” Since 1973, Pietsch has performed his incredible aerobatic routines for millions of people at more than 400 shows that have taken him to quality venues throughout Canada and the United States including Quesnel’s SkyFest to that impressive list.
Beginning with the Twilight Show on Friday night, July 31 (tickets are limited, so don’t miss out, available
online) and moving into two days of sensational action with gates opening at 10 a.m. and show start at noon watch for Kent Pietsch and the other jaw-dropping, spectacular performances. Tickets (adult, youth, family and weekend camping package) for SkyFest 2015 are available at Circle ‘S’ Western Wear, the Tourist Bureau or online at www.quesnelskyfest. ca/tickets. For just $20, get your Mustang tickets for a chance to win a sporty Ford Mustang at various venues including Integris Credit Union, Cariboo Ford, Circle ‘S’ Western Wear, Cap-it, Co-op, Quesnel Visitors Centre or contact any SkyFest director. They will also be on sale, along with SkyFest 2015 programs, on the Gold Dust Mall during Billy Barker Days, in front of the Carib Theatre. Parents, keep track of the youth tickets which were included in year-end elementary report cards for students Grades 1 – 7 last week (children six and under admission is free.)
