Health-care assistant spaces open up at CNC ANNIE GALLANT Observer Reporter B.C. Minister of Advanced Education Andrew Wilkinson was in Quesnel Tuesday to announce the one-time $153,000 funding to the College of New Caledonia Quesnel campus for 18 additional health-care assistant spaces. Several post-secondary campuses around the province answered the call for proposals and Quesnel was one of the funding recipients. Kathy Jaffary, CNC Quesnel spokesperson said they don’t offer the health-care assistant program as part of their baseline programs but rather it’s part of a rotation through several programs over several disciplines as the demand arises. The only current health profession baseline program is their nursing program. These 18 spaces for health-care assistant are being offered above and beyond our baseline programs,” she said. “And its only for this one year.” The 35-week health-care assistant program is slated to begin Oct. 1, 2015 and staff are in place to teach this program. “Spaces are filling up,” Jaffary said. “We expect all 18 spaces to be filled. Last time we offered this program we had a wait list.” She added community indicators suggest all 18 graduates will be absorbed locally. Currently, there are 14 registered for the program. Anyone interested in registering can call CNC. CNC’s health-care assistants’ program provides skills to care for disabled individuals living in long-term care facilities or private homes. To help clients meet their needs in all dimensions of health in their home or in a facility, the program prepares students to help with assessments, communication and activities of daily living (such as nutrition and personal hygiene.) One-time funding for short-duration health education programs helps address the immediate needs of specific communities so the supply of trained health-care workers is aligned with demand. Wilkinson added it’s important to offer programs in the communities that demonstrate a local need. “Students can train in Quesnel and then choose to stay and work in the Cariboo to support the healthcare needs of their communities.”

Crews respond to abandoned campfire
On the August 29-30 weekend, the BC Wildfire Service responded to four new human-caused wildfires in the Cariboo Fire Centre. One of those wildfires was sparked by an abandoned campfire. This wildfire, located at Suey Bay on Horsefly Lake, was discovered on Sunday, August 30. Thanks to reports from the public, crews were able to respond quickly and contained the fire at 1.5 hectares. Thirteen firefighters and a helicopter are on site today to extinguish any remaining hot spots. This wildfire is under investigation and the BC Wildfire Service is asking the public for assistance. Anyone with information about suspicious activity around the Suey Bay Recreation Site on the weekend is encouraged to call BC Crime Stoppers anonymously at 1 800 2228477 or submit a web tip at www.bccrimestoppers.com Although campfire bans have been lifted throughout most of B.C., they remain prohibited west of the
Fraser River within the Cariboo Fire Centre’s jurisdiction. If campfires are allowed in your area, always ensure that your campfire is completely extinguished and the ashes are cool to the touch before leaving the area for any length of time. Campfires must not be larger than 0.5 metres high by 0.5 metres wide. Patrols will be conducted throughout the Labour Day weekend to ensure that people are complying with provincial legislation related to campfire use and open burning. The Compliance and Enforcement Branch and the Conservation Officer Service patrolled 186 campsites within the Cariboo Fire Centre last weekend. Two tickets were issued, for an oversized campfire and for an abandoned campfire. Anyone found in contravention of an open burning prohibition may be issued a ticket for $345, required to pay an administrative penalty of $10,000 or, if convicted in court, fined up to $100,000

Does an intense memory of the recent Pan Am and Paralympic Games leave you with a restless pang for international competition? Then why not whet that appetite by visiting Barkerville Historic Town and Park on Labour Day, Sept. 7? The National Historic Site of Canada’s 12th Annual Williams Creek Sports Day and Goldfield Bakery Pie Eating Contest will competitively squeeze out the last drops of summer with one more chance to taste victory – literally and figuratively. From noon to 3:30 p.m. on Sept. 7, British
Columbia’s largest Gold Rush heritage attraction will offer enthusiastic attendees more than a dozen different types of family activities and games, including the Broad Jump, Funny Face contest, Cracker-Eating Whistle Races, a 10-pound Hammer Toss, Greasy Pole Climb, Tug o’ War and Ladies’ Egg and Spoon Race. At 4:15 p.m., Barkerville’s Goldfield Bakery will present its celebrated annual PieEating Contest, which challenges children and adults from all over the province to compete for the coveted title of “fastest
handless pie-eater in the West.” “You haven’t seen gastronomic joy until you’ve seen two dozen kids covered in banana-cream pie filling,” Carleigh Drew, Barkerville’s marketing, products and activities officer said. “The Goldfield Bakery Pie Eating Contest is a beloved Barkerville tradition and we’re confident that this year’s winner will be the fastest ever.” As a special treat this year, Barkerville’s Chinatown interpretation program is jumping in on the fun. From 3:30 – 4 p.m.,
“You haven’t seen gastronomic joy until you’ve seen two dozen kids covered in banana-cream pie filling.” Carleigh Drew, B-Ville
nestled between all the games and desserts, the first life-sized, liveaction dramatization of a Chinese Chess game in North American history will take place on the streets of Barkerville. Utilizing a hand-crafted chess board of human
proportions, Barkerville’s cast of unique historical characters will recount the tale of a great battle between two infamous Chinese armies that serves as the mythology behind the game of Xiangqi (more commonly known as Chinese Chess). Spectators are most welcome and can expect to learn the rules of the Chinese Chess while witnessing game-play of epic proportions.

Government is proud to support the completion of these significant trails. Providing barrier-free outdoor amenities benefits all of us, ensuring more people can engage in fun, healthy activities on their own, or while enjoying quality time with others.” “Congratulations to the Cariboo Regional District on continuing to build outdoor recreation options for residents and visitors. The vision of creating accessible trails throughout the Cariboo is admirable. I wish to also thank the volunteers of the Bouchie Lake Recreation Commission for their ongoing maintenance and care of the trail – you have done an outstanding job,” Coralee Oakes, MLA Cariboo North said. “This is a momentous day for Bouchie Lake and I am extremely pleased that we have now completed the Claymine Low Mobility Trail,” CRD Electoral Area Director Jerry Bruce added. “However, this was just
the next step in making the Cariboo Chilcotin one of the most attractive wheelchair accessible tourism destinations in the world; bringing people of all abilities to a pristine area to enjoy our great outdoors.” “It is very exciting to have the Claymine Accessible Trail complete. The trail will allow users with a wide variety of mobility levels to enjoy the beautiful natural surroundings and wildlife at the site,” Angela Mezzatesta, Facility Agent for the Bouchie Lake Recreation Commission, said. “We look forward to a greater diversity of visitors enjoying Claymine and would like to thank everyone who helped bring this trail to completion.” “More accessible wilderness trails means more people can enjoy the beauty of the Cariboo – improving quality of life for residents and the travelling experience for visitors. Northern Development is proud to have provided financial support for this project through our Community Halls and Recreation Facilities program,” Northern Development Initiative Trust CEO Janine
North, said. “The Cariboo Chilcotin Beetle Action Coalition is excited to be a part of this regional project,” stated CCBAC Chair, Bob Simpson. “It is an excellent example of how partnerships, cooperation and collaboration can achieve great results. Projects such as the Claymine Accessible Trail improve our communities by making our region accessible to all and enhance the visitor experience in the Cariboo Chilcotin.” The Claymine Low Mobility Trail is located approximately 15 kilometres west of Quesnel. Visitors should cross the Moffat Bridge, heading west from Quesnel, and then turn right onto Elliot Street and then left onto North Fraser Drive. North Fraser Drive will become Blackwater Road. From Blackwater Road, visitors should turn right onto Claymine Road; the destination will appear on the left hand side.

Bouchie Lake is the most recent community in the Cariboo Chilcotin to unveil a new accessible trail. The Claymine Low Mobility Trail was built in partnership between the Cariboo Regional District (CRD), the Bouchie Lake Recreation Commission, Northern Development Initiative Trust, Cariboo Chilcotin Beetle Action Coalition and the provincial government through the BC Community Recreation Program. Approximately one kilometre in length and with a gentle grade, the Claymine Low Mobility Trail winds through lush forest, looping around a large boulder, before travelling back to the trailhead. A wide variety of wildlife and bird species can be spotted in the area and there is an active herons’ nest in the vicinity of the trail. An accessible outhouse, accessible picnic table and an information kiosk are available at the trailhead. “The Claymine Low Mobility Trail is another stellar project – a lasting legacy as part of the more than $400,000 given to the Cariboo Regional District for the development of 14 acces-

The 20th Annual Prospectors Car Club Show and Shine weekend has come and gone, and we would like to thank all those who helped us make it a great weekend.
New ‘hands-on’ curriculum for B.C. TOM FLETCHER Black Press The new school year in B.C. is the start of a three-year transition to a new curriculum that Education Minister Mike Bernier says will emphasize “hands-on” learning. The new curriculum is being phased in this year for Kindergarten to Grade 9, with higher grades still in development. Bernier said this year it will be up to local school districts and teachers to begin implementing it before it becomes mandatory in the fall of 2016. Grade 10-12 curriculum is to be mandatory in 2017. Bernier, the Peace River South MLA appointed education minister this summer, said he’s heard from teachers who are looking forward to a curriculum that allows more flexibility and individual learning. He stressed that basic skills of reading, writing and arithmetic will remain, but students will also be taught life skills, communication, collaboration and critical thinking. Two areas of emphasis for the new curriculum are environmental education and an aboriginal perspective, which Bernier said will be present in “every single component in the curriculum.” Local schools are encouraged to work with aboriginal communities across the province to represent the full diversity of aboriginal experience, he said. Hands-on learning is already in place in schools, and Bernier used the example of a shop teacher

in his home town of Dawson Creek who encouraged students at risk of dropping out to take his course. They learned mathematics and physics through taking motors apart and reassembling them, he said. Bernier invited parents to look for themselves at grade-by-grade documents posted at curriculum.gov. bc.ca, listing learning standards and areas of emphasis.

Fact of life
he on-air shootings in Virginia that left television news reporter Alison Parker and cameraman Adam Ward dead, and interview subject Vicki Gardner wounded, cannot be avoided. Unwitting viewers of their station were suddenly eyewitnesses this week to an appalling, cold-blooded crime, when all they thought they were watching was an innocuous interview on tourism. While major news outlets exercised some restraint, the spread of social media – and the consequent ease with which we can access images – has ensured that many of us were also eyewitnesses to murder, without much choice. Some may decry the media themselves, and urge further limits. But, in many ways, the very availability of such sickening imagery is a reminder that we can’t turn a blind eye to a plague of violence that afflicts all of us, no matter where in the world we live. It is a fact of life, and we are not cushioned by distance or comforting notions that, terrible as it may be, it is someone else’s problem. There is another fact of life – brought to us vividly by this tragedy – that cannot be avoided. When gunman Vester Lee Flanagan took video of himself as he – seemingly calmly – took aim at his victims Wednesday, he bore witness to a simple truth. He reaffirmed that guns are deadly weapons, capable of ending lives in a matter of seconds. Flanagan described himself on Facebook as a “powderkeg ready to blow up.” As in so many other cases, this ‘powderkeg’ had a gun in his hands. Believing himself to be a victim of systemic racism, he had legally purchased the pistol, and the hollow-point ammunition, in the wake of another tragedy, one in which another ‘powderkeg,’ Dylann Roof, killed nine people in a Charleston church in June. From the relative comfort of our small corner of White Rock and South Surrey, it is easy to point fingers at our neighbours to the south and urge them to adopt more stringent gun controls. Canada, for whatever reason, has never had the same sense that bearing arms is a basic, constitutional right, or the belief that allowing citizens to carry loaded weapons contributes to a safer society. But at the same time, we cannot claim a holier-than-thou attitude. We cannot claim that gun violence has never intruded here, even on the quiet Semiahmoo Peninsula. And the Virginia tragedy poses questions that none of us can hide from. Can we truly know what’s going on in other people’s heads? Can we recognize when anger has reached a flash-point? Would we trust our gun-carrying neighbour to protect us – or would we suspect that some day, that same weapon might be used to victimize us? –BP
Pit bull propaganda is deadly T
he popular online news site The Huffington Post just published an irresponsible series of articles and images promoting pit bulls as safe family dogs for their second annual “Pit Bull Week.” During those seven days a 25 year old woman was killed by her own beloved pit bull of 10 years, a 48 year old woman was mauled to death by her neighbour’s pit bull on her way to the mailbox, a toddler was rushed to hospital in critical condition because of his family pit bull, and at least 10 other people were savagely attacked in the U.S. by pit bulls. None of these horrifying tragedies were covered by the Huffington Post. To be fair, many media outlets didn’t publish these gruesome accounts. Perhaps in part because of the ferocious backlash from the vocal minority every time a news item presents pit bulls as anything but a harmless dog full of waggles and licks. The reason pit bulls get a bad rap is because they’ve earned it. Contrary to what the well funded bit bull advocacy camp likes to declare, the press is not to blame. They don’t make these wretched stories up. There are over 300 dog
Lori Welbourne
On a Brighter Note breeds worldwide and the American Kennel Club recognizes 167 of them, but the ones we hear about most in the media is by far the pit bulls, referring to the Staffordshire Bull Terrier, American Pit Bull Terrier, American Staffordshire Terrier and their mixes with predominant pit bull characteristics. The articles come from opposite ends of the spectrum: propaganda, such as what’s seen on the Huffington Post regularly, and factual, such as the severe and deadly mauling incidents that have become so disturbingly common you rarely see them circulating on social media. To clarify, I am a huge animal lover and I don’t blame these dogs for the problem they’ve become. They are also victims and this was entirely human caused. Pit bulls were bred to be exceptional fighter dogs, to bite down, clamp and shake, and to hold onto their victim
outlawed, far less pit bulls would be born in the first place, leading to far less of them dying as a result. These pets are grandfathered and can live out the rest of their natural lives as long as they don’t prove themselves to be a menace. The intention of BSL for pit bulls is to eliminate mauling injuries and deaths by the breed that inflicted the majority of severe and deadly attacks on humans and animals. It will require responsible dog ownership and hold these people accountable if they don’t abide by the reasonable laws implemented to keep the community safe. More than 40 countries restrict pit bulls, and no countries except Canada and the U.S. even allow their importation. How brutal must the bloodbath get, and how high must the death toll rise before we stop this insanity? Enforced BSL works, so let’s stop it now before we’re as bad off as our national neighbour.

while they are being inflicted with physical pain themselves. They were never bred to be nanny dogs – that is an absolute myth that was debunked even by the pit bull advocacy group “BADRAP” which admitted promoting this belief was dangerous to children. That retraction has been highly publicized, yet it is still repeated by pit bull advocates constantly. This is why despicable lowlifes use these powerful animals for their horrendous dog fighting rings. They don’t have to train them. Hundreds of years of inbred dog aggression gives them that instinct, and with their powerful jaws and muscular bodies they’re a force to be reckoned with. II have written on this subject before, so I know what’s coming: an onslaught of hostility over my ignorance, and demands that I do my research. Believe me, I have. I’ve been reading up on this daily for the last four years and the more I learn, the more I support breed-specific legislation (BSL). Anyone who truly loves pit bulls should support it as well. Currently a million of them are euthanized every year in the U.S. If spaying and neutering is made mandatory and backyard breeding is

Online convictions help landlord Editor: Re: Chief judge reviews online court records (bclocalnews.com, Aug. 20). As a landlord in this province I would first like to state that I very much appreciate having limited access to public court records pertaining to potential tenants. Court Services Online is just one valuable tool that I can use to help determine the suitability of an applicant, not just with respect to my own personal and professional interests, but also for the sake of doing what I can to ensure that all of my tenants remain safe in

their homes. While I myself take the necessary time to look at and consider the nature of any charges, dates, participants and possible dispositions, I do feel that this information is presented in a manner that may not be correctly interpreted by some people, although I do not believe the solution is to remove public access to this information. Recently I was able to use CSO as a resource to engage a tenant applicant in a direct, honest conversation about their past criminal convictions and current parole conditions. I am proud to say that this
led to a successful tenancy for someone who may not have otherwise been able to secure decent and affordable accommodations due to their history. I value having public access to this information and believe that it can positively serve our society if used with appropriate diligence. Perhaps something can be done to educate employers, landlords and others so that CSO can continue to be used in a manner that does not unduly penalize people for merely having had contact with our court system. Ray Covenant Abbotsford
Ducking debates doesn’t do Editor: Re: With more time, will more voters care? (B.C. Views, Aug. 19). NDP leader Thomas Mulcair will not attend a debate Oct. 8, because Stephan Harper will not be there. What are you, children in a daycare centre? You are asking me for a job. If I went in for a job interview and told the interviewer that I would only participate under certain circumstances, would I get hired? No. We need to hear every word
you can say to make an informed decision. We need to hear the truth of your life. I absolutely hate the negative propaganda that I am hearing in the media. I have run in an election and participated in every aspect. I entered every debate, knocked on doors and had public appearances. I lost but I have the knowledge that I tried my hardest.

Season at a glance
Quesnel Live Arts presents six-performance program
Q
uesnel Live Arts (QLA) is once again providing a stellar lineup of entertainment for its 2015/2016 season. With six shows scheduled, there’s something for everyone from the very popular Tiller’s Folly to a one-woman play covering the six wives of Henry VIII. Each year, the members of QLA labour over the decision of what to include in their coming season. They look for a balance of musical and stage performances with wide appeal to audiences across the community. They have been doing this for more than 50 years and with a discerning eye to the broadest possible interest they make their selections. In order to offer the best value and allow the public to plan their entertainment season, season tickets are available which guarantees you a reserved seat at every performance. QLA members will be at the Quesnel Farmers’ Market Sept 12 and 19 selling season’s tickets and distributing the lineup pamphlet. Individual performance tickets and season’s tickets are also available at Save-On Foods, KMAX, Green Tree Health and Wellness, at the door or in advance by calling 250-747-2207. Sponsorship is a very important aspect of QLA as those dollars provide, in part, the funding for the high-quality performances. With sponsors who have committed for many years, QLA
expresses its heart-felt thank you. For anyone considering joining the list of sponsors, just contact Brenda Paulson, 250-255-7127. There are several options for sponsorship. Beginning Oct. 8, Quartetto Gelato first and foremost is a skilled musical quartet that incorporates dry humour and clowning around. Their performance is often a mix of virtuosic showpieces, romantic tenor arias, pyrotechnical solos, blazing gypsy show pieces which includes a world accordion champion.

Sarah Hagen takes to the stage, Feb. 19, 2016, providing innovative, interpretive piano performances. Combining her own creative interpretation of classical piano, Sarah often also includes photography, dance and spoken word in her shows.
The second performance Nov. 8, is Gordie McKeeman and his Rhythm Boys who hail from Prince Edward Island and rock the stage with stunning fiddle work, jaw-droppping stagecraft and showmanship all with a backdrop of traditional bluegrass and roots music.

arrives and everything changes. Travis is brilliant in the multiple-role production.
The final performance, Eva Cassidy Tribute, April 6, 2016, pays homage to a rising star that never made it to the top in her lifetime which was cut short by cancer. Cayla Brooke, along with a four-piece band, provides a wonderful interpretation of this young songster’s musical life in a cabaret-style stage show. Season tickets are $125 for all six shows, or $25 per show, seniors and youth are $100 for all six shows or $20 per show. All performances are at Chuck Mobley Theatre unless otherwise noted.

ANNIE GALLANT Observer Reporter
T
erry Fox’ legacy lives on in the millions of people around the world who strap on their runners and participate in the Terry Fox Run in September. It was Terry’s dream to find a cure for cancer as he lost his leg in 1977 to osteogenic sarcoma (bone cancer.) For more than 10 years, Quesnel Rotary has taken on the volunteer task of organizing the local Terry Fox Run which is slated for Sept. 20 this year. The first Marathon of Hope began April 12, 1980 with Terry dipping his foot in the Atlantic Ocean in Newfoundland, then carrying on a gruelling 42 kilometre daily run over 143 days and 5,373 kilometres. Tragically, he was forced to stop running outside
Thunder Bay, Ontario because cancer had appeared in his lungs. But not before he galvanized an entire country behind his heroic effort to raise $1 for every Canadian to find a cure for cancer. This was accomplished Feb. 1, 1981 when the Canadian population reached 24.1 million and the Marathon of Hope fund totalled $24.17 million. To date the Terry Fox Foundation has raised almost $700 million worldwide and is one of the largest, independent organizations in Canada currently funding cancer research with 1,212 cancer research projects funded to date. Tim Cawdell participates every year partly because of his Rotary commitment but also because he believes and supports the Terry Fox Foundation and the work they do.
Take a drive to the country...
But possibly the best motivator for the past four years is Tim’s dog Sadii. “She’s a strong supporter of the Terry Fox Run or at least that’s how I interpret her enthusiasm,” he said with a laugh. The five-km walk around the River Front Trail is a great outing for humans and pets and Tim said this year Rotary is encouraging everyone to “Bring One More.” “Bring one more participant or one more donation,” he said. “Every little bit brings us one step closer to the cure.” Whenever Tim reflects on the monumental effort by Terry Fox himself, he feels humbled by the mere 5-km walk in Quesnel. “We can all do 5-km, I figure,” he said. There’s no entry fee, no minimum pledge, its non-competitive and no sponsorship
required. Just show up with a donation and walk, run, bike, roller-blade, skateboard, whatever you want, just enjoy yourself. Terry dedicated 143 days to the cause he believe in, the Terry Fox Run requires maybe two hours, not a mammoth feat. Quesnel’s Mayor Bob Simpson has been challenged, as have the other northern mayors, to raise $1 for each resident in
the community, so let’s get out and see Quesnel meet that challenge. Even if you can’t complete the 5-km River Front Trail just drop by LeBourdais Park between 9 – 10 a.m. and drop off a donation. That’s registration time for the Terry Fox Run and the event begins at 10 a.m. For information or more background on the Terry Fox Foundation and event visit terryfox.org.

Gathering the Canadian mosaic one photo at a time RYAN GRAHAM Observer Reporter
Have you ever wanted to travel. That’s what Tim Van Horn of Red Deer, Alberta is doing. He’s continuing his Canadian Mosaic Project, which is a photo collage that will be revealed on Canada Day 2017 in Victoria, British Columbia for Canada’s 150th birthday. Van Horn started his mission Oct. 1, 2008 to photograph every Canadian that he comes in contact with. “I started to take pictures of people’s faces that first year,” Van Horn said. “I started to see something important come together. Not just the multi-cultural aspect, which was how I was angling it the first year, but seeing this portrait of our collective humanity sort of take form.” Van Horn was amazed to see the people and things the country has to offer. “I got hooked on it,” Van Horn said. “I was like wow this is

They broke a provincial record for division four girls, in the 200-meter freestyle relay, that stood for five years. “I love the way you feel when your standing behind the block, when your getting ready to race,” Pastachak said All four love swimming and think it’s a fun sport, which keeps you active, as well as competitive. Practice varies day-to-day, as they focus on different strokes. “Someday’s it will be harder, sometimes easier depending on what our coach feels is right,” Jespersen said. After receiving their
medals they felt different emotions, but were excited they won. “I was really happy, excited and kind of overwhelmed,” Jespersen said. Even with their medals, all of them have goals they would like to set moving forward. Some include getting stronger, joining winter swimming and improving as a swimmer. A couple even have a longterm goal of swimming in the Olympics one day. “This year was really the first year that everything has sort of come together for me,” Fisher said. “I’ve actually started placing, getting good times and doing better.” Provincials brought personal best times for Lauren Larsen, Natalie Bergeron, Owen Larsen, Pastachak, Shawn Fisher, Audrey and Lucy, Casey, Olivia Crocker, Dawson McGillivray and Baylee McGillivray. Chris McGauley, coach of the Sealions was impressed with the effort and performance that his team showed. “We had an excellent provincials,” McGauley said.

The journey to the Memorial Cup begins
A powerful connection to what matters most
RYAN GRAHAM Observer Reporter The hunt for the 2016 Memorial Cup is about to begin, with the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League, Ontario Hockey League, and Western Hockey League starting their seasons. The QMJHL season begins Sept. 10, while the OHL and WHL start on Sept. 24. Last year, the Oshawa Generals won the 2015 Memorial Cup championship when they defeated the Kelowna Rockets 2-1 in Quebec City. This year’s tournament will be held May.19-29 in Red Deer, Alberta, and will be hosted by the Red Deer Rebels. The Memorial Cup has launched players into the spotlight before, as they can use it as a springboard into the National Hockey League. Most players ranked at the top of the draft board are usually cemented in those positions, but for players ranked lower it can be a great way to catch the eye of general managers and scouts, with a good showing. Time will tell which junior team will be crowned champions of the Canadian Hockey League and what story lines emerge from the season, but it will sure be an exciting one to follow.
