Candidates weigh in on the issues at debate Ryan Graham Observer Reporter It was a packed house at the Federal candidate forum at CNC Quesnel campus with the candidates bringing their platforms to the forefront. All candidates were present, which included Todd Doherty of the Conservatives, Tracy Calogheros of the Liberals, Adam De Kroon of the Christian Heritage Party, Trent Derrick of the New Democratic Party, Independent Sheldon Clare and Richard Jacques of the Green Party Questions: 1) How would you ensure that post-secondary education is affordable for young people in our region? De Kroon: “Making sure

that Canadian students have priority at our universities is a priority. One thing we see sometimes is universities taking so many international students that people that live here have trouble getting into courses at the universities.” He also noted that his party would give the money straight to the students, which they could than decide on their university choice. “It would increase competition among universities for students which would naturally bring down prices and it would also provide students more flexibility where they could direct their funds.” Derrick: “It’s a place worth putting money,” noting he sees the cost to students as a major

concern. He believes in cutting interest on student loans, so students can pay off their loans earlier. Derrick also sees an increase of grants a positive step. “We also have a plan in place to create 50,000 new grants for students in order for them to access, so funding is more accessible.” He says the NDP want to invest in students, as their priority. Clare: “We should not be sending young people out for their first jobs bearing the burden of huge debt. At the same time we should encourage people to be able to fund their education and provide the opportunities that allow them to do so.” Clare believes some money should be given provincially and the other should be targeted, so it

creates flexibility in funding to get to the students that need it. Jacques: “Get rid of tuitions and invest in our kids education,” noting an elimination date of 2019. Calogheros: “Doubling the amount of grant money their able to receive and providing that grant money to them upfront when they need to actually pay their tuitions. It’s the quickest way to be able to get that money in to the hands of students.” She also believes in investing in education for aboriginal students with an additional $50 million per year supporting aboriginal education in post-secondary. Calogheros also supports working with the provinces to make better decisions concerning education.

Doherty: He highlighted the establishment of the Canada Student Grants Program that the Conservatives established, noting the ease of access. He also noted the Conservatives have eliminated taxation on scholarships and given tax credits and grant to students, as well as increased the limits of the RESP’s so people can save more for education. “We need to make sure that we have opportunities here at home and we need to make sure that our children and our families have opportunities for seats for education here.” 2) One of the NDP commitment is to end oil subsidies, where is the money coming from? Derrick: Highlighted the party is concentrated

on investing in small business and communities to create more jobs. “Right now Canada has the lowest tax rates for corporations in the western world and at the same time with those we’ve lost 4,000 manufacturing jobs.” Clare: believes we need to look at a broad issue of the whole economy when it comes to corporate tax rates.”I do believe that you can make adjustments to corporate tax rates to reward those who perform and punish those who pollute,” Clare said. Jacques: believes oil subsidies should be eliminated and the corporate tax rate should be raised to 19 per cent. The extra money, he said, would than be reinvested back into the system. See PAGE A2

Committed to working with the people from front:

That money is going to be reinvested in health, education and in the social safety net that our system is built around.” Calogheros: “What we need to do is get everyone around that table and really look at all the values not just the fiscal one’s in order for us to be able to earn back the trust of the public and get everyone back to the table working towards the same ends,” Calogheros said. She also says that we cannot count on oil. De Kroon: “I oppose oil subsidies and I oppose subsidies to corporations period. I do not believe the government giving money to corporation is a legitimate function of government.” He also stresses that we must get away from being dependent on oil. Conservatives believe in having a strong economy and making sure the program we need are there. He also added that

we must stay the course. 3) The government past and present has never done their fiduciary obligations for the First Nations of Canada. It’s time to listen to the hereditary chiefs and not the elected chiefs. How will you listen to the hereditary chiefs: Clare: “Listen to the concerns of the community and to make sure those concerns are addressed. If we don’t listen we can’t move forward, but we have to include everyone in the conversation because we are all part of this country.” Jacques: believes that the hereditary chiefs are the backbone of communities and must be heard. He says there must be constant listening and communication going on. Calogheros: “We need to sit around the tables and continue to learn from the elders.” She adds there must be dialogue between the hereditary and

elected chiefs to bring all the knowledge and ideas to the forefront. Doherty: “I’m committed to working with our First Nations in our regio. What we do here around the table will have national impact.” De Kroon believes there must be good communication, as well as listen and value their input. He also adds they we should listen to both chiefs, First Nation citizens and greater community. Derrick said the NDP have a plan that would see Tom Mulcair chair a parliamentary committee to work with the needs of First Nations. He says the action will be noticed quickly. “In the first 100 days what were going to do is call an inquiry into murdered and missing women. 4) What programs would your party install to provide a child care program in Canada and how soon? Jacques says they

are going to take two per cent off the GST and reinvest in early childhood education, healthcare and pharmacare. Calogheros believes there should be a way to get money back into the hands of parents. “With the Canada child credit it’s tax free it’s a single payment that goes out to parents and follows a sliding scale similar to what B.C.’s child subsidy does. As you earn more your child tax credit drops, but that will put more money into the hands of parents. Nine out of 10 parents with children at the moment, right away.” She also adds that it’s tax free. The conservatives also believe it’s better to be in the hands of the parents. They advocate their Universal Child Benefit Plan, which gives $160 to children under six and $60 over six to the age of 17. “It’s a plan that works for today not tomorrow.” De Kroon believes that the best method

is one parent staying home to look after the child. His party would have a family care allowance, which would give $1000 a month to any family that stays at home and it applies to children to the age of 18. The NDP have a $15 a day child care plan, which allows families to get back out to work and invest in Canadians for a strong economy. Clare says he would support anything that helps families. “I would support anything that makes it easier for both parents to be able to provide the care that there children need and to be able to make a good contribution to their family economy as well as the national and regional economies. He also says he’d work with anyone to make sure it’s done, but in a fiscally responsible way. For more election coverage see Wednesday’s Observer.

Breastfeeding Challenge in Quesnel draws 26 nursing mothers Every year, on the first Saturday of October at 11 a.m., mothers and children at sites across Canada, the United States and other countries around the world compete to set the record for the most children breastfeeding at one time. In Quesnel, on Saturday, 26 mothers attend the Breastfeeding Challenge at the Child Development Centre (CDC) and at 11 a.m., 20 babies were latched on. This is the most mothers and babies ever at the Quesnel event. Why the challenge? Breastfeeding has many well-documented benefits including better health for both mothers and babies. According to UNICEF of the 136.7 million babies born worldwide, only 32.6 per cent of them breastfeed exclusively in the

first six months. The recommendations is for exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months and continued breastfeeding for two years and beyond together with adequate, appropriate and indigenous complimentary feeding starting from the age of six months. Two of the biggest hurdles for women weaning their children prematurely continue to be lack of support and marginalization by the community. In North America this lack of support is demonstrated as many women find breastfeeding in public a major barrier. The Quesnel Breastfeeding Challenge was organized by third and fourth year nursing students from UNBC in partnership with CDC and Northern Health.

Gold Pan undergoes audit An audit of two non-replaceable forest licences held by Pacific Bioenergy Timber Corp. and RPP Holdings Inc. in the Quesnel district found both companies’ forest planning, fire protection, harvesting and road activities met the requirements of the Forest and Range Practices Act However, Pacific Bioenergy had an area of improvement involving fire hazard assessment. Pacific Bioenergy completed fire hazard assessments on two cutblocks following logging operations, but did not conduct assessments on two others. They treated the fire hazard on all four sites by piling and burning slash and debris, so the assessments were noted as an area for improvement. “We are pleased to find that RPP Holdings followed the requirements of forest practices legislation,” board chair Tim Ryan said. “Pacific Bioenergy did well in the audit too, but needs to ensure fire hazard assessments are completed. The company has advised the board it will be completing hazard assessments in the future.” Pacific Bioenergy harvested 94,479 cubic metres of timber under non-replaceable forest licence A76553 for use as wood pellets, while RPP Holdings harvested 540,828 cubic metres of timber under non-replaceable forest licence A76729 primarily for sawlogs. Both forest licences are near the Village of Nazko, about 100 kilometres west of Quesnel. The Forest Practices Board is B.C.’s independent watchdog for sound forest and range practices, reporting its findings and recommendations directly to the public and government. The board audits forest and range practices on public lands and appropriateness of government enforcement. It can also make recommendations for improvement to practices and legislation.

Obituary Tribute

Margaret Lust

May 8, 1921 ~ August 31, 2015 Marge was born on May 8, 1921 in Saskatoon, Sask. It was there that she met and fell in love with Jack Lust and they were married on July 17, 1943. They moved to Quesnel in 1947 and raised 8 children Linda Thideman (Lloyd), Jackie Garvin (Clare), Patricia Kwiatkowski (Ed), Helen Heppner (Roger), John Lust, Darlene Braconnier (Bob), Carol Harvey (Gary), Jim Lust. Marge has 25 grandchildren, 42 great grandchildren, and three great, great grandchildren. She was predeceased by her husband Jack (1964), her daughter Patricia (2007), and her granddaughter Carrie (1977). Times were hard after the death of her husband in 1964 but she was a very tough lady and persevered and cared for six children on her own. She lived in the same house for 66 years and resided there until she became ill in June. Unfortunately she was unable to go back to the house she loved so much but remembered it until her death on August 31, 2015. May you rest in peace mom, you are loved so much. Your loss is unbearable but the memories are sweet.

If Roses Grow in Heaven If roses grow in Heaven, Lord, Then pick a bunch for me. Place them in my Mother’s arms and tell her they’re from me. Tell her that I love and miss her, and when she turns to smile, Place a kiss upon her cheek and hold her for a while. Because remembering her is easy, I do it every day. But there is an ache within my heart that will never go away.

Trees-on-farmland program ‘not expanding’

TOM FLETCHER Black Press A British-based manufacturing company is considering switching its B.C. tree-planting program from farmland to areas deforested by fire or pine beetles. Reckitt Benckiser Group plc added another three farms to its B.C. land holdings over the summer, prompting an accusation in the legislature that it was breaking its promise to suspend planting trees on farmland. The company halted the program in June after more than 10,000 ha of farmland in the Peace, Prince George and Cariboo regions were acquired to use as carbon offsets for the company’s worldwide operations. Delta South MLA Vicki Huntington released title documents for a 320 ha grain and cattle farm purchased near Dawson Creek in July, three weeks after the company, now known by its initials RB, said the program was halted. Asked about the timing of the purchase, RB issued a statement saying the company had three signed agreements to buy more B.C. farms when it “paused” its tree planting program to review it. Local governments have objected to productive farmland being reforested, and the effect it would have on farming communities. “No action has been taken on these properties as RB continues to consult British Columbians on the future of this program,” the company said, adding discussions have continued with neighbouring landowners, provincial, local governments and MLAs. “Many have highlighted the need for reforestation on lands that have been depleted by the pine beetle or wildfires,”

the company said. “It is an option we are exploring.” Agriculture Minister Norm Letnick said he had a presentation from RB, with suggestions about alternatives to planting more trees. “I’m not at liberty yet to disclose those because they were given to us confidentially but I have reason to be optimistic,” Letnick said.

RB’s website says it has planted more than seven million trees in B.C. Letnick said the company has planted most of the 10,000 ha of farmland it acquired up until this spring, and the three new acquisitions bring the total to 12,000 ha. RB operates around the world, manufacturing and selling food, household and medical products

under brands such as Calgon, French’s, Clearasil, Dettol, Scholl, Strepsils, Gaviscon and Woolite. It describes its B.C. tree planting program as a way to offset carbon emissions from its operations, but it does not intend to trade or sell carbon offsets.

Popular politics

uccessful governments pay close attention to the lessons of history. And one lesson that history has taught us repeatedly is: governments who move towards a more humane society almost always find themselves on the right side of history. It is a lesson that appears lost on B.C.’s Liberal government. A new poll from Insights West shows the vast majority of B.C. residents are opposed to trophy hunting. While a government shouldn’t legislate based on polling, a survey isn’t needed to justify the elimination of such a barbaric practice. The Insights West poll showed 91 per cent of British Columbians oppose hunting animals for sport, and it’s probably fair to say the majority of the province’s residents not only oppose trophy hunting, but are sickened by it. But B.C. Premier Christy Clark is sticking to her guns. Clark responded to questions on the poll by saying she didn’t enter politics to be popular. She said just because something is unpopular doesn’t make it wrong. One has to wonder if the premier has seen the video which recently surfaced showing a grizzly bear being shot repeatedly as it scrambled down a hillside in a vain attempt to survive something that can only be described as torture. Does anybody really need a poll to tell them this is not only wrong, but an abomination to civilized society? In attempts to defend the practice, the premier pointed to the healthy grizzly bear population and her desire to create jobs for people all around the province. There’s healthy dog and cat populations in B.C. also, but we don’t allow people to arbitrarily kill them. The poll showed that the opposition to trophy hunting isn’t just coming from urban centres, but rural areas as well. And the revenue eco-tourism brings to the province far surpasses anything raised by trophy hunts. It’s only a matter of time before trophy hunting becomes illegal here in B.C. The only question that remains is whether the provincial government will try and get ahead of the issue or be forced to give up their defence of the indefensible. –BP

Live life to the fullest

ast Saturday in between games at my 12-year-old daughter’s fastball tournament she received a message that Caleb Logan was dead. I had no idea who that was, but Daisy knew, and so did all of her heartbroken friends. He was the gregarious 13-year-old star of a wholesome show on YouTube that loosely chronicled the lives of him, his two younger sisters and his parents. It was called Bratayley, the family’s stage name. I wasn’t surprised I hadn’t heard of him. It’s about as likely for me to know who’s famous with kids as they’re likely to know who’s famous with the middle aged crowd. Daisy sadly read out the announcement from his family’s Instagram account that was posted October 2nd: “Yesterday at 7:08 pm Caleb Logan Bratayley passed away of natural causes. This has come as a shock to all of us. Words cannot describe how much we will miss him. His incredibly funny, loving and wonderful spirit made us all fall in love with him as a YouTuber, friend, brother and son. We know you tune in to watch each day and eagerly anticipate new videos, but ask that you bear with us while we deal

Lori Welbourne

On A Brighter Note with this tragedy as a family. Please help us honor our baked potato.” “Natural causes?” I asked. “He’s 13. Hopefully someone’s just hacked their account and it’s a hoax.” As she warmed up with her team for their next game I did some Google researching on my phone trying to learn more about this boy, wanting to find an article from a reputable media source confirming it wasn’t true. But all I could find that day and the next were countless posts by distraught children and people speculating a practical joke or a suicide similar to that of his 10-year-old cousin two years prior. It wasn’t until Sunday night that I finally read a report that confirmed the young teen had indeed passed away and it wasn’t until Monday that his family announced he’d died from an undetected medical condition.

this has been their first experience losing someone they cared about. Their feelings of grief are important to respect, as are their concerns that someone so young and seemingly healthy could suddenly die like that. For the first time some of them have thought about their own mortality. If it could happen to him, it could happen to anyone – a powerful reminder of how precious life is and how important it is to embrace what brings us love and joy. There could be nothing worse than losing a child and what his parents are now dealing with is unfathomable. This happens to people all the time, but it never should. At the end of the video, filmed the day before Caleb’s death, it states: “Please kiss your kids and tell them that you love them everyday. You never know what day will be their last.” That is so true of everyone. All of us are born and all of us will die – how and when is rarely known ahead of time. What’s important is living life to the fullest as much as possible in between those two guaranteed events. Lori Welbourne is a syndicated columnist. She can be contacted at LoriWelbourne.com

Children tragically die everyday, so why was the death of this boy getting so much press? That became a common question expressed repeatedly on social media. It’s fairly obvious – his family had a substantial fan base of close to 2 million YouTube subscribers and over a billion views of their videos. His fans, primarily made up of kids, felt a deep connection to Caleb, Annie and Hayley from watching them daily and sharing in their lives. Many felt as though they knew him – like he was their friend. And since the family is just being themselves in their videos, doing silly stunts and ordinary every day things, their connection felt arguably stronger than the one we adults might have with our favourite sports or entertainment stars. His parent’s decision to livestream part of his memorial service was met with harsh criticism online and perceived as an attentionseeking ploy of over-sharing that some felt ought to remain private. But for the parents to include the fans in their son’s celebration of life was both fitting and kind since they are also mourning Caleb’s loss and in need of some closure. For many of these kids,

Due diligence is first and foremost Editor: For days now I have been watching the TV news with shock. I am amazed at the scenes of thousands of people storming and breaking through Europe’s borders. Demanding and angry, they expect entry. Most of the people you see pushing through Europe’s borders are young men, who should be staying in their own countries to help fight for their country — not leaving it. Obviously, they do not have the back bone to fight for their own country. When they get to the West will they join our army to help fight — like the French, Dutch, Belgians and Polish did in

Letters to the Editor

the Second World War? No, they expect the West to fight for them. When and if the West does fight, they will call us infidels and hate us. How do we know who these young men are? Are they sent by ISIS? The immigrants from these countries who can afford to spend money on boats, train rides, trucks and bus rides to the European borders are the middle class who should be staying in their country to try to solve its problems. If they all come, they will send for all their family. They will change our country’s infrastructures, our social services, overwhelm our health care, police and laws. I am not a raging

redneck. I am a grandmother. I think I am a fairly moderate and broadminded person. I try to see both sides of a problem. I am compassionate and caring about the needs of others. I read about and think about the world’s problems and I care. I believe in humanitarian aid and helping our fellow man but we cannot accept them all into our countries. We should try to help these people within their own counties with compassion, food, medicine, shelter and/or what other help we can supply. If we have to take some of these immigrants we should be careful and perform due diligence

with their applications. R. Gosse

Debate

Editor: In the debate about accepting more newcomers to Canada, there is some solid evidence to demonstrate that immigrants contribute more than they receive, that they enrich us, and that in the end we all benefit from their hard work and dedication to freedom and human rights — something which for many newcomers was sorely missing from their country of birth. Studies in both the United States and Canada have shown that job creation increases and the economy improves as the number of immigrants

swells. Our current government has rejected calls to resettle more than their original targets of Syrian refugees, which flies in the face of both our historical practice of taking in people experiencing mass crisis, and also rejects what we know to be the long-term benefits that immigrants and refugees bring when we welcome and support them to integrate into Canadian society. Canada used to rank as the fifth largest refugeereceiving country in 2000, now down to 15th on the list today. We can do better. As an organization that helps immigrants and refugees to settle and integrate by helping parents get their children ready to succeed in the Canadian

school system, HIPPY Canada sees first-hand the incredible contributions made by newcomers. And the children of immigrants do even better, with 55 per cent attending university, compared to 38 per cent of nonimmigrant Canadians. HIPPY Canada is organizing a conference in November in Vancouver, to bring attention to the crucial role that immigrant and refugee mothers play in supporting their children to succeed in Canada. I invite everyone to join us and contribute to this important conversation by checking out our webpage at hippycanada.ca/ and click on “conference”. Debbie Bell, President, HIPPY Canada

St. Ann’s staff kiss the pig When St. Ann’s Catholic school principal Tara Milley put the challenge to her students to raise money for the Terry Fox Run she had no idea how successful they would be. Possibly they were motivated by the prospect of their principal kissing a live pig. “I told the students if they raised more than $2,000, I would kiss a live pig,” Milley said. “Additionally, as an individual class incentive they could pick a staff member to also kiss the pig if they raised more than $250 in

their own class.” Much to Milley’s surprise every class raised more than $250 and the school in total raised $2,688 for the Terry Fox Foundation. The entire school, including every student and staff member took park in the actual walk, but they decided to extend the fundraiser an extra week giving the school time to get all the donations in. Troy Giesbrecht was kind enough to bring her young pig Penelope to the school and the staff full-filled their promise and kissed the little cutie.

Clockwise from top right: Principal Tara Milley; Troy Giesbrecht with her pet pig Penelope; teacher Andrew Weston; Cathy Leonard; and St. Ann’s secretary Cher Barbosa were among the many staff who kissed the little darling pig. Annie Gallant photos

QFC presents Wild Tales The third film in Quesnel Film Club’s fall session is Wild Tales, Oct. 15. As its title suggests, Argentinian director Damian Szifron’s latest feature Wild Tales (nominated for Best Foreign Language Film at the 87th Annual Academy Awards) is a compendium of outrageously bizarre stories, each more shocking and hilarious than the last. Blending black comedy with dramatically loaded scenarios, Szifron skillfully weaves together six separate short films, unlinked by narrative but unified by a violence that simmers on the cusp of explosion. The opening short, Pasternak features a game of chance aboard an airplane whose passengers discover they all know the same failed musical. Road rage is a trigger for hilarity in the short Road to Hell. Unexpected endings continue in Dynamite wherein the eponymous hero vents his frustration with tow trucks and traffic in a manner that defies social norms and safety standards. The final

and possibly funniest short Till Death Do Us Part documents the mayhem during a wedding reception when the new bride discovers that her husband has recently cheated on her. More than a series of stories about frustrated characters on the verge, Wild Tales is also a portrait of contemporary Argentina, a society riddled with corruption, hampered by bureaucracy and bogged down by tradition. Szifron’s film, by breaking down taboos and allowing its characters to lose control and provides a cathartic release from the pressures of modern-day living – a release that provokes unrestrained, double-over-in-your-seat laughter. Tickets for Wild Tales are $9 (adults) and $7 (seniors) which includes film club membership. Showtime is 6:30 p.m. For information on Quesnel Film Club call 250-74-7422 or 250-7473979 or join the Facebook page at Quesnel Film Club or visit www. quesnelfilmclub.ca.

British Columbia business likes Pacific trade deal

B.C.’s Asia trade will benefit from the TransPacific Partnership, the world’s largest free trade agreement, reached Monday after all-night discussions with 11 Pacific Rim countries, according to business and provincial government officials. Jobs Minister Shirley Bond cautioned that legal work and ratification by

the 12 countries involved still remains to be done, but the TPP removes barriers for B.C. producers of seafood, minerals, forest and farm products in countries such as Japan, Malaysia and Vietnam. “Generally speaking, any time British Columbia can compete on a fair and level playing field, we’re going to do well,” said Bond, cit-

ing trade growth in cherries, blueberries and wood products. Much of B.C.’s progress in lumber exports has been in China, which is not part of the TPP talks. B.C. averages $4.8 billion annually in forest products to TPP countries and 1.5 billion worth of pulp and paper, despite duties up to five per cent in Australia and

New Zealand, up to 10 per cent in Japan and up to 40 per cent in Malaysia. The B.C. Chamber of Commerce says fish and seafood are currently subject to 15 per cent duty in Japan and Malaysia, up to 34 per cent in Vietnam and up to five per cent in New Zealand. Beef, fresh and frozen vegetables, fresh cherries and fresh and fro-

zen blueberries also face tariffs in Asian countries. The tentative deal has emerged as a major issue in the federal election campaign. Prime Minister Stephen Harper outlined a $4 billion “income guarantee program” for Canada’s protected dairy and egg producers, to compensate farmers for lost income due to new foreign

imports for 10 years after the TPP takes effect. NDP leader Thomas Mulcair blasted the agreement as a “sellout” of Canadian auto workers and farmers that will also see drug prices rise in Canada. Mulcair said his party would not be bound by the agreement if it forms the new government on Oct. 19.
