Carson Elementary principal and teacher Bruce Birch test the chairs with weights and finally, Birch gave the crowd what they wanted by sitting and even standing on the top three creations. The chairs were made in their Family Groups which consist of students from kindergarten to grade 7. Each group of students received the same amount of newspaper and a roll of masking tape. Students then had time to plan and design their chairs and all students in the group had to contribute to the final chair. The chairs had to be a minimum of 30 cm high, by 30 cm wide by 30 cm deep. After the testing of the chairs students re-gathered in their family groups to discuss what went well, what was challenging, what they would do differently next time as well as the science behind the winning chairs that made them better then the other chairs. Students had approximately an hour to construct their chairs.

CNC celebrates 10 years Ten years ago, the postsecondary education landscape changed forever in Quesnel, when the North Cariboo Community Campus officially opened. The facility, which is home to the College of New Caledonia and the University of Northern British Columbia, is a venue for a wide range of programming options for students choosing to pursue a post-secondary education without leaving Quesnel. To celebrate the occasion, the College of New Caledonia, supported by the University of Northern British Columbia, will host a 10th birthday party for the North Cariboo Community Campus (NCCC) in Quesnel on Friday Jan. 22 from 5:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. An Open House will follow on Saturday, Jan. 23 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. “We are very happy to be celebrating the 10th anniversary with UNBC,” CNC President, Henry Reiser said. “This is a great milestone for the NCCC and the College of New Caledonia in general. This celebration is a testament to the quality and relevance of our programming.”
“By having the College of New Caledonia and UNBC in the same facility, we are providing a wide array of post-secondary education options.” Daniel Weeks, UNBC
“The North Cariboo Community Campus is a beacon of excellence for leadership development in Quesnel, and after 10 years we can see the benefits it is bringing to the region,” UNBC President Dr. Daniel Weeks said. “By having the College of New Caledonia and UNBC in the same facility, we are providing a wide array of post-secondary education options. It’s a partnership we’re happy to celebrate with the residents of Quesnel.” Friday’s invitation-only event will feature speakers from CNC and UNBC, which shares space with the college in Quesnel. Performances will be given
by The Zavan Trio with guest Shawn Smith, hoop dancer Teddy Anderson, and the Barkerville Players. The college is grateful to UNBC for the contributions made to the event in the spirit of goodwill and collaboration. “While we are celebrating the 10th birthday of our campus, CNC has really been in the community for closer to 40 years,” Regional Principal, Morgan Ross said. “As such, we would like to extend a great big thank-you to community for supporting us up to this point, and we know that we can expect the same in the years to come. Without the community we wouldn’t have gotten to where we are today.” Members of the public are invited to come out to the Open House on Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The event will feature a food vendor, attractions and workshops for the whole family. Parking for both days will be provided by the college. For information about this and other events cnc.bc.ca/ Quesnel . For information about UNBC, visit http:// www.unbc.ca/south-central

B.C. aims to hire 1,600 more nurses TOM FLETCHER Black Press
The B.C. government is planning to catch up on its long-standing nursing shortage by hiring 1,643 full-time Registered Nurses by the end of March. Health Minister Terry Lake and B.C. Nurses’ Union president Gayle Duteil announced Tuesday they have reached a staff increase agreement that has been the main obstacle to signing a new contract. The previous deal expired nearly two years ago, and the dispute over staffing was headed for arbitration. Duteil said the last BCNU contract in 2012 contained a commitment to fill these positions, but more than 1,600 have not been. “To the nurses working 16-hour shifts today, to the nurses working short in the emergency department and operating rooms across B.C., to community nurses with overwhelming caseloads, this agreement means relief is on the way,” Duteil said. Lake said the first priority is to offer full-time positions to some of the 7,000 casual nurses working in B.C. Nurses from other provinces would be the next choice, and international recruiting would take place after that. “I think there will be a pool of nurses who may be moving back with their families to British Columbia, given the economic downturn in Alberta,” Lake said. By region, the plan targets recruiting of 400 nurses for Fraser Health, 300 for Interior Health, 290 for Island Health, 100 for Northern Health, 235 for Vancouver Coastal Health, 238 for the Provincial Health Authority and 80 for Providence Health Care, which runs St.

Paul’s Hospital in Vancouver. Fraser Health CEO Michael Marchbank said each nursing position costs the health authority about $100,000 a year, and the new positions can be accommodated from existing budgets. NDP health critic Judy Darcy questioned whether that many nurses can be hired in little more
than two months, after the original 2012 promise to hire more than 2,000 nurses has only resulted in about 500 up to now. “We know that the long waits for hip replacement, knee replacement, you name it, has been due to shortages, including nursing shortages,” Darcy said. “We’ve been paying incredible
overtime. Huge burnout, high injury rates, wait lists, hallway medicine, all of those things are a consequence not having met this promise.” Duteil said 16-hour shifts have become “the new normal” for
many RNs, and the agreement is a relief. She urged casual nurses in B.C. to contact the union by email immediately at hireanurse@bcnu.org to express interest in the new positions.
It is with great sorrow we announce the unexpected passing of our mother Irene. Irene was born in Vancouver, BC. Most of her upbringing was in Port Alberni, BC, where she met, married, and began raising a family with the love of her life, Ray Marcellus. They moved their young family to Quesnel, BC shortly after their daughters were born, and later had a son. They remained in Quesnel for the rest of their days. Irene was a devoted wife and mother, an absolutely incredible cook, a caretaker to any friend in need, and she loved her pets. She was predeceased by her husband Ray, and she will be remembered fondly by Linda, Bill, Amanda, Sonya, John, Emily, Anna, Donald, Akemi, Makoto, Rei, and many others. A Celebration of Life will be held at 1:00 PM Sunday January 24, 2016 at the Royal Canadian Legion – Branch #94, 262 Kinchant Street in Quesnel. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to The Heart and Stroke Foundation, or the BC Cancer Foundation.

Stan Fuller
January 19, 1938- December 25, 2015
It is with heavy hearts that the family announces the passing of former Dragon Lake resident Stan Fuller after a brave and courageous battle with cancer. Stan was born in Dauphin, Manitoba on January 19, 1938 and passed away peacefully with his loving family by his side at his home in Courtenay, BC on Christmas Day. Stan was predeceased by his father Charles Fuller in 1974, his mother Carrie Fuller in 2005, his brother Clifford Fuller in 1946 and his son Kenneth Fuller in 1983. Stan is survived and greatly missed by his wife of 30 years Deirdre Behan, his sons Rick (Laurie), David (Earl) , Dan (Jeannie). Grandchildren Jason (Jen), Michael, Dane, Reid, Kent, Tia and Kyle. Great-granddaughters Avery and Sophie. Stan is also survived by his sister Pat (Jim) , brother Clayton (Janet), stepson Carl (Heather), stepdaughter Lana (Neil), granddaughter Jenna and numerous nieces and nephews. Stan was a patient, kind, loving family man with a positive attitude and a great sense of humour. He was a “people person” who valued his friendships. Stan loved his life at “Stonehenge Farm”, playing his guitar and harmonica, painting, skiing, playing hockey, fishing, hunting, working around the farm , spending time with family and friends and taking leisurely walks with his Jack Russell “Taz”. A celebration of Stan’s life will be held at a later date. Stan continued to maintain his good humour and good spirits throughout his battle remarkably so, even on his final day, he was amazing!
What a Christmas Hamper Campaign year 2015 was. The requests for help were the greatest we have ever had. There were 846 requests-- 829 hampers were given out. The support for Quesnel Good Cheer is absolutely unreal. We opened up on Nov. 23 because the hampers were going out on Dec. 19 and 20 and right from the time we opened our doors, it was just go, go, go. If there weren’t recipientat the depot to sign up, there was someone coming in with food or toys or money to donate or the phone was ringing and shelves had to be stocked with either food, toys or gifts. Each can of food that comes in other than the new purchases, has to be date then put on the right spot on the shelves. There was hardly a dull moment to be found from the time we opened until we closed at 4:00 pm. A huge thank you to Maple Park Shopping Center for giving us a place to work in and Tanya, Doris and Jim for all your help. Thank you to Paul and Steve from Save-On Foods and Save-On Foods for your tremendous help and support. Thank you to Dollarama, the South Quesnel Business Association and their business members, all of the schools, teachers, parents and children, the companies and employees who did food and toy drives for us, or held a silent auctions to raise funds for us and the employees who give with their payroll deductions to pay for our turkey’s and potatoes. It truly was needed--we ran out of a lot of our food items twice and the third time we started running out of too many items, we had to call it quits, there just wasn’t enough to do proper hamper anymore. Thank you to each and every person who has given to Good Cheer, whether in the work place, at school, at the service club meeting, from you personal income, or from your own neediness. Every single penny adds up to thousands of dollars and that is what pays our tremendous food bill or buys some toys if we’re short. Thank you to all who knit, crochet or quilt wonderful items for our babies, our singles, some of our mom’s and dad’s and the children. What labours of love. Our teens are our hardest group as it’s fairly big and not enough to go around. Thank you to everyone who rallied around and filled that need. I think we got them all covered. The givers do not get to see the faces of the receivers who receive their hamper with joy and the receivers do not get to see the look of joy on the face of those who give, but we see a lot from both sides and it is awesome! To the givers, receivers and all of our wonderful volunteers: “May peace break into your house and may thieves come and steal your debts. May the pockets of your jeans become a magnet for $100 bills. May love stick to your face like Vaseline and may happy laughter assault your lips! May your clothes smell of success like smoking tires and may happiness slap you across the face and may your tears be that of joy. May the problems you had forget your home address!” An Irish Blessing. - May 2016 be the best year of your life ad donated by From Quesnel’s Good Cheer

Coding to start in Kindergarten Parents in B.C. schools will soon have the option of introducing their kids to computer programming as early as Kindergarten to grade three. Premier Christy Clark told a technology conference in Vancouver Monday an introduction to coding option will be available in some schools starting next September. It is expected to be available across the province within three years, and Clark said her goal is to make it mandatory for all students entering school. Post-secondary technology programs already include co-op job placements for 80 per cent of students, but any new programs will have to be 100 per cent co-op, Clark said. The province and federal governments also announced new funding to technology employers to help current and future workers upgrade their skills. Grants cover two thirds of training cost up to $10,000 per employee, and applications can be made at www.workbc.ca/canadabcjobgrant
Inmates get trades training A pilot program in Kamloops has graduated six provincial prison inmates, qualifying them to work as construction labourers when they are released. Students learn skills such as operating and maintaining small tools, scaffolding, reading blueprints, surveying, operating a mini-excavator and traffic control. They also receive level one first aid and construction safety training certification during a six-week course. The program is offered by Thompson Rivers University for inmates at Kamloops Regional Correctional Centre. Inmates built a concrete foundation pad with drainage and roof that will house a portable sawmill. The level one apprenticeship credential and 4,000 work hours in a trade make them eligible for level two, when students can enrol in a Red Seal trade program such as carpentry or plumbing.
Surge in urban housing starts Housing starts in B.C.’s urban municipalities of more than 10,000 people ended 2015 with a jump of 26 per cent in December, according to the latest Statistics Canada figures. B.C.’s increase was mostly in multi-family developments. Single detached housing starts were up only 3.5 per cent. B.C.’s housing surge went against the national trend, with housing starts down in seven provinces. Only B.C., Quebec and Manitoba saw growth in December, compared to a year earlier. Housing starts dropped 39 per cent in Ontario and 41 per cent in Alberta, where the oil price slump has hit the economy hard.
REMEMBER
DEVELOPMENT OF A PEST MANAGEMENT PLAN Pest Management Plan: BC Hydro Facilities 2016-2021
The use of pesticides is intended within the area to which the Pest Management Plan (PMP) applies. The purpose of the proposed PMP is to control vegetation at BC Hydro facilities to maintain safe and reliable operations which support the delivery of electricity to our customers. This plan applies to all areas of British Columbia where BC Hydro has operational or planned facilities such as electrical substations, generation switchyards, generating sites, communication sites, storage sites, administrative buildings, or land owned or leased for future facilities. The proposed duration of the PMP is from April 2016 to April 2021. Vegetation incompatible with the operation of the power system will be controlled using: physical (manual brushing, girdling, hand-pulling, hedge trimming, mowing, pruning, weed trimming or tree removal), cultural (gravel/hard surfacing, planting ground cover), biological (release of parasitic insects to control noxious and invasive plants) or chemical (herbicide application) techniques, or any combination of these methods. The active ingredients and trade names of the herbicides proposed for use under this plan include: ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○
acetic acid – Ecoclear, Munger’s Hort Vinegar or equivalent, aminocyclopyrachlor and chlorsulfuron – Truvist or equivalent aminocyclopyrachlor and metsulfuron-methyl – Navius or equivalent aminopyralid – Milestone or equivalent aminopyralid and metsulfuron-methyl – ClearView or equivalent aminopyralid, metsulfuron-methyl, and fluroxypyr – Sightline or equivalent aminopyralid, metsulfuron-methyl and triclopyr – Clearview Brush or equivalent Chlorsulfuron – Telar or equivalent Chondrostereum purpureum – Chontrol or equivalent clopyralid – Lontrel, Transline or equivalent or equivalent dicamba – Vanquish, Banvel or equivalent dichlorprop-P and 2,4-D – Estaprop XT or equivalent diflufenzopyr and dicamba – Distinct, Overdrive or equivalent diuron – Karmex, Diurex 80 WDG or equivalent flumioxazin – Payload or equivalent glyphosate – Vantage, Vision or equivalent imazapyr – Arsenal Powerline or equivalent indaziflam – Esplanade or equivalent metsulfuron-methyl – Escort or equivalent picloram – Tordon 22k, Tordon 101 or equivalent picloram and 2,4-D – Aspect or equivalent triclopyr – Garlon products or equivalent Trifluralin – BioBarriere, Treflan or equivalent 2,4-D – LV700 or equivalent
Adjuvant products may also be combined on occasion with a herbicide to improve its effectiveness, such as: nonylphenoxy polyethoxy ethanol – Agral 90, paraffinic oils – Gateway, octadec-9-enoic acid as methyl and ethyl esters – Hasten NT, or siloxylated polyether – Xiameter or equivalents. The proposed methods for applying herbicides include: soil applied techniques (backpack sprayer, powerhose or fixed boom sprayer), cut surface, basal bark, backpack foliar, mechanized foliar (fixed nozzle, boom directed nozzle, wick sprayer), and injection (hack and squirt, lance or syringe) techniques. A draft copy of the proposed PMP is available at bchydro.com/pestplanforfacilities. Alternatively, it is available in person at 6911 Southpoint Drive, Burnaby; 1401 Kalamalka Lake Road, Vernon; 18475 128 Street, Surrey; 400 Madsen Road, Nanaimo; 3333 22 Avenue, Prince George. BC Hydro, the applicant for the proposed PMP, is located at 6911 Southpoint Drive, Burnaby, B.C., V3N 4X8. Please contact Tom Wells, Vegetation Program Manager, at 604 516 8943 or thomas.wells@bchydro.com for more information. A person wishing to contribute information about a proposed treatment site, relevant to the development of the pest management plan, may send copies of the information to the applicant at the above address within 30 days of the publication notice.

Only right Canada’s banknotes are polymer, counterfeit-resistant, holographic and modern. And they’re hopelessly behind the times. Canadian women need to be represented on Canadian currency. It’s a notion that was put forward by a citizens’ movement in Victoria and has now been championed by Nanaimo-Ladysmith MP Sheila Malcolmson, the NDP’s critic for the status of women. The lack of women on our bills wasn’t always this concerning. Our $50 notes used to feature the Famous Five and Thérèse Casgrain, advocates for women’s voting rights. But those ladies have long since been replaced by a decidedly masculinelooking Arctic icebreaker. With the removal of the human-rights heroines, that leaves us with an anonymous clip-art medical researcher on the back of the $100 and Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II on the $20. The problem won’t solve itself. After the Queen’s passing – long may she live – the monarchy will be headed by king after king after king. And although we fully expect Canada will elect female prime ministers over the coming decades, it takes a long time for partisan politicians to become respected historical figures. It’s only right and it’s only fair that women appear on our money. Our country’s cabinet is 50 per cent women because it’s 2016, and other institutions should be similarly scrutinized. There are countless candidates whom we can honour on our banknotes. If worthy women don’t come to mind, then we aren’t looking hard enough. Their stories are under-represented in history texts, but of course women have always been here, building our country, our culture and our identity right alongside the men. Our polymer bills, however durable, will wear out, and we will need to print new ones, and we should always try to find ways to celebrate different segments of our society. Leaders, pioneers, artists, thinkers and difference-makers. Heroes and heroines. –BP
Leaving behind something powerful
O
ne day, barring great scientific advances, Keith Richards will die. As of this newspaper going to press, however, the legendary 72-year-old hard-living guitarist for the Rolling Stones was still alive and, well, alive. “Keith Richards Found Not Dead in San Francisco Hotel,” read an online story this week. I’m not sure if it was this tongue-in-cheek, faux news headline that spawned it, but a KeithRichards-is-dead rumour spread quickly. It might also be because of the other deaths of wellknown rock and popular music performers in recent weeks. The recent attention on deaths, arguably, started with the drug overdose of Scott Weiland of Stone Temple Pilots fame on Dec. 3. Then, on Dec. 28, heavy metal legend Lemmy (Ian Fraser Kilmister) of Motorhead died Dec. 28 at age 69. Then 2016 arrived and, most notably by a cultural long shot, was David Bowie who died of liver cancer on Jan. 10. Then more: On Jan. 17, Mic Gillette, founding member of Tower of Power dead at 64 and Dale Griffin, British drummer for Mott the Hoople dead at 67.
Then Jan. 18, Dallas Taylor, drummer for Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, dead at 66 and founding member of The Eagles, Glenn Frey dead at 67. People die every day. An average of about 150,000 people die on Earth every 24 hours. Since you started reading this column about 35 people died. Phew. But back to famous people, 19 humans who warranted a Wikipedia entry died on the first day of 2016 alone. Why is there so much attention on the death of musicians and celebrities? It’s hard to say, although some of it is obvious: These are people we admire, whose work we follow so when they are gone, that’s sad. On the other hand, why do we mourn someone who we don’t really know and who doesn’t know we exist, other than abstractly, as a sales statistic or a face in a crowd at a concert? We also have a relatively new fascination with death. Our separation from those who die and are dying is a transitional aspect of our culture, of the human experience. We died surrounded by family, children, parents. We died, and the smells, the texture, the reality of it was there. Death was part of life. Now death is to be feared, and in our odd popular
Bowie and Glenn Frey and overlook, because we don’t see, the sometimes painful and always sad deaths of folks alone, or not, maybe loved but less publicly so, in hospitals and hospices all around us. On the bright side (sorry if this is getting depressing) babies are born, puppies are frolicking, kittens are mewing, lives are being lived. Choose to smile, as Chilliwack’s famous cancersurviving, woman Glenda Standeven would say. And, hey, musicians who haven’t died continue to entertain and inspire us. And those who did die in recent days and weeks will be remembered through the strings they plucked, the skins they struck, the notes they shared and the poetry they put into song for all of us to hold on to. The irony is that that is precisely why we mourn their deaths. They left us something powerful, yet we are sad they passed. Those who rocked, who rolled, who plucked and played, performed and sang, left a legacy behind and will never truly die. And chin up folks, Keith Richards is still ticking. There’s hope for all of us. Paul J. Henderson is a reporter for the Chilliwack Times

culture fascination to seek what we fear, death is back, and we are a little obsessed. But the fascination with death and the curiosity with the hows and whys of it all, is a different animal from the ubiquitous fascination with celebrity death. A musician famous enough to warrant an entry on Wikipedia dies just about every day. Jan. 1 it was Brazilian composer Gilberto Mendes who died at 93. On Jan. 2, French singersongwriter Michel Delpech died at 69. On Jan. 3, Canadian jazz pianist Paul Bley died at 83. On Jan. 4, Australian band manager Robert Stigwood died at 81. On Jan. 5, American R&B singer Nick Caldwell died at 71. On Jan. 6, Cuban trumpeter Alfredo “Chocolate” Armenteros died at 87. On Jan. 7, Trinidadian steelpan musician and arranger Jit Samaroo died at 65.. On Jan. 8, American country singer-songwriter Red Simpson died at 81. On Jan. 9, Latvian musician Janis Vaisja died at 46. And on Jan. 10, Venezuelan musician Hernan Gamboa died at age 69. And on and on. I’ve never heard of any of these people, but you get the point. All said, there is an arbitrariness to our grief as we mourn the death of David

Long past time
Editor: According to Tom Fletcher, “an employee of the B.C. branch plant of Sierra Club lurks, apparently coordinating media and protesters” regarding logging in the Walbran Valley (Avatar Sequel Bombs in Walbran, Jan 12). He’s referring to me. Far from lurking, I’m proud to be campaigning with Sierra Club BC to save some of the last significant stands of unprotected old-growth on Vancouver Island. (And, to correct but one of the many misleading or false claims in Fletcher’s piece, Sierra Club BC is entirely independent.) Fletcher’s diatribe reveals him as Teal Jones’ willing stenographer, uncritically regurgitating the logging company’s talking points. Fletcher and Teal Jones may believe it is morally and ecologically acceptable to cut down these magnificent trees and destroy complex, delicate ecosystems. Sierra Club BC doesn’t, and nor do the majority of British Columbians, who support concerted action to defend endangered oldgrowth trees, wildlife, a stable climate, clean water and clean air. British Columbians know that these things form the life-support system of our planet and support long-term prosperity and a diverse economy, including sustainable second-growth forestry for current and future generations. A growing list of independent reports from B.C.’s Auditor General, the Forest Practices Board and even a Liberal MLA highlight the need for urgent action to save our forests. It’s long past time for the provincial government to reverse the damage done when it gutted the rules governing logging. 14 years of trusting corporate interests to manage our forests with little or no oversight has got to stop.

Find the right wood for the best burn
Burning a clean fire in your wood stove starts with the wood. Softwoods like pine and spruce will work, but hardwoods like birch will burn longer and produce less smoke. A wood-burning stove should be smoke free.
If you see or smell smoke, you have a problem, so extinguish the fire and clean your stove using the steps above. Below is a list of “best burn” practices to ensure you choose the right wood and operate your
wood stove safely. 1. Use only seasoned wood that has spent months drying outside. Seasoned wood is darker, is cracked at the ends, and will sound hollow. 2. Burn hot fires, and only open the door to your wood stove if adding logs
or stoking the fire. 3. Regularly clean the ashes out of your wood stove to maintain proper airflow. 4. Install and regularly check the batteries in smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. Keep a fire extinguisher
near your wood stove at all times. Wood stoves are designed with the simple purpose of heating a home. Advances in technology have made wood stoves cleaner and safer than ever, but be proactive in
cleaning and maintaining your stove. By regularly cleaning a wood stove and using some bestburn practices, more homeowners can efficiently, smartly and safely heat their homes.

Four Grade 5 students take on helping Syrian refugees in Canada ANNIE GALLANT Observer Reporter
F
our best friends. Bright, bubbly and well-spoken. Ready to take on a very big issue. Dragon Lake school Grade 5 students Laura Balkwill, Sara Stobbe, Natalie Bergeron and Norah McKinnon have taken on the global issue of settling Syrian refugees in foreign countries, Canada included. What began as their regular, What in the World current events discussion (topics include latest news events around the world) launched this small band of students to ask the question – what can we do to help? They found out that Syrians were in trouble and that the Federal Government was bringing 25,000 to this country, some even coming to Prince George. The four began an intense research project that disturbed them. They learned of refugees being pepper-sprayed and living in terrible camp conditions. “And there are so many of them,” Sara said. In their research, Norah said they learned about Prime Minister Justin Trudeau plan to place Syrian refugees in every province in Canada. She went on to explain her understanding of the civil war in Syrian and how the people were desperate to escape the violence and ISIS. The first step for the girls was to prepare a presentation for their Dragon Lake school mates at a special assembly. They showed a video about the Syrian situation from the kids point of view. “I was kind of scared of presenting in front of the whole school, but it was
kind of fun,” Sara said. Laura went on to say they wanted the kids in their school to know about what was happening to Syrian refugees. “We learned that some of the refugees were moving back to the war zone because the camps were so bad,” she said. However, these four friends wanted to go further than just educating their fellow students. They chose to launch a fundraising campaign in both their school and through local businesses. “We want to help make them feel more welcome,” Sara said. “We know how hard it is to move to a new school, but this is so much bigger.” Norah explained how this fundraiser meets the motto of their school – respect, responsibility and co-operation, but was clear they were doing it from their heart. “We just want to help,” Natalie said. The girls had many more firsts with this fundraiser. They needed to find out who was in charge at several local businesses, then make those hard phone calls asking them to place a donation can in their business. “At first we were scared to talk to people who run businesses, the bosses, this was our idea and we didn’t know if others would help,” Norah said. Cans are now in Extra Foods, Safeway, the concession at the Twin Arenas, Aroma Foods, West Fraser Mills as well as Northstar and Maple Park Alliance churches on Sundays. The girls began collecting in their school on Monday with cans in each of the classrooms.
“We wanted the students to understand what we were collecting money for,” Laura said. “We were impressed by a Grade 2 student who caM e up to us and wanted to help.” They understand no Syrian refugees are slated to arrive in Quesnel as this community doesn’t have the infrastructure to support them. “That means we don’t have the housing, the transportation or the medical services and stuff like that,” Natalie said. “The most important thing is for them to be safe.” Norah spoke of Canada as a mosaic country with people from many other countries. “We want more colour in that mosaic,” Sara said. Their goal was to raise $100, however after just one day they were more than halfway to that target. Every dollar raised will be donated to help settle Syrian refugees in Canada and the girls are exploring the best way to get that money into the right hands. They may tag onto a Soup for Syria fundraiser scheduled for March 5 but they have also researched online. “We’ll decide before our fundraiser is finished at the end of January,” Natalie said.
This is the first fundraiser the four girls have ever organized themselves. “It’s already way more successful than I ever thought,” Sara said. Laura added they like fundraising and being responsible. “We never thought we’d be fundraising for Syrian refugees,” she said. Their teacher, Greg Siemens said he’s very proud of them for finding a problem and trying to do something about it. “We’ve always had good discussions in our current events part of the curriculum, but this is the first time it’s kickstarted a fundraising campaign,” he said. “These kids are completely amazing, so it’s not that surprising.” Laura, Sara, Natalie and Norah hope their cans will be filled and they can help welcome Syrian refugees to Canada.
was glad to interview Charlie Robertson at this location. He informed me that at the present there are six volunteers and they do not need anymore at present. The equipment they loan is wheelchairs, walkers ( 2 or 4 wheels), commodes, raised toilet seats, quad canes, crutches and bed rails etc. The Red Cross Loan cupboard is located next to Physiotherapy in the old part of the hospital so use the old south door and turn right and you will see the sign. They are now open five days a week from 10 a.m. –1:30 p.m. There is no cost to borrow an item and you will have 3 – 6 months to keep it if necesMarian Gillard sary. Donations are SENIORS’ UPDATE always welcome Robertson stressed that you should have a referral from your Doctor, physiotherapist or Community Care worker if you wish to borrow. If you have a hip or knee replacement in Prince George or Vancouver just ask your physician before you come home to arrange for the equipment you will need when you return. The local Loan facility works in conjunction with the outlet in Prince George and they take care of cleaning and repairs and can find whatever you may need. Marian Gillard is a community activist and regular Observer contributor.

LIFESTYLES QUESNEL LIVE ARTS
Chuck Mobley Theatre welcomes Tiller’s Folly Always a big attraction for Quesnel music lovers ANNIE GALLANT Observer Reporter Quesnel Live Arts dynamic entertainment lineup continues with Tiller’s Folly, Jan. 29, 7:30 p.m. in Chuck Mobley Theatre at Correlieu school. Tiller’s Folly are modern-day storytellers of lore, uniting past with the present. Based on the Pacific Northwest, Tiller’s Folly are a critically acclaimed, internationally traveled acoustic power trio. Songwriter, vocals and guitar and founding member of Tiller’s Folly are just the many talents Bruce Coughlan brings to the group. Born in Canada’s pacific region, Coughlan is a sixth generation Canadian possessing a profound connection to his Celtic roots. Nolan Murray, fiddle, mandolin and mandocaster, has a long history as a multi-instrumentalist gun-for-hire at an early age. After amassing an impressive list of big name performers he’s worked with and a long list of prestigious awards, Murray joined Tiller’s Folly in 2002 which caused the group to encompass an ever widening range of
musical styles. Laurence Knight, bass and vocals, is a 40-year veteran of Western Canada’s vibrant music scene who’s first love is rhythm and blues. Early in his career, Laurence earned a solid reputation in Vancouver’s Blues music community, touring and recording with such legends as Jim Byrnes and Long John Baldry. In a shift from R&B to folk music, knight once again found his stride while performing and recording with many West Coast greats. For the past 18 years, Tiller’s Folly have spread their memorable blend of energy, history, musicality, romance and just plain fun across Canada, into
the US, the British Isles and beyond. With nine CDs to the bands credit, Tiller’s award-winning productions continue to expand and refine their potent mix of acoustic and electric based, Celtic influenced Canadiana, Americana, Newgrass and beyond. Tickets for Tiller’s Folly are $25 (adults) and $20 (seniors and youth) available at Save-On Foods, KMAX, Green Tree Heath and Wellness, at the door or in advance by calling 250-747-2207.

A sure foundation I
saiah 33:6 He will be the sure foundation for your times, a rich store of salvation and wisdom and knowledge; the fear of the Lord is the key to this treasure. (NAS95) This morning I read the news and then this Scripture. The news paints a bleak picture politically, financially and morally. The nations of the world seem to have lost their way, as leaders are exposed in their corruption, businesses look for ways to compete in a difficult business market and people defy God’s moral law in an effort to find pleasure. Then I read the Scripture. He will be the sure foundation for your times. With your feet planted firmly on the Rock
Rawlin Falk Maple Park Alliance Church you need not fear the future. As a matter of fact, a rich store of salvation, wisdom and knowledge is available for us in these difficult times. That’s good news! All we need to do is unlock the reserve that’s already there for us.
But where’s the key? It’s found in the fear of the Lord. Not being afraid of him, but fearing Him. We find the wisdom and knowledge not simply by seeking them, but by seeking him. They are found in his presence. Salvation, wisdom and knowledge are not found in a set of rules for life, but in a relationship with the author of life. That is why Jesus told the Jews of his day that the house of God was to be a house of prayer. It was to be a place of relationship with God. A place where men would hear from the Lord and find the resources they need to face each day. Rawlin Falk is a pastor with Maple Park Alliance Church in Quesnel.
Obituary Tribute
Alexander Cameron McKee September 30, 1941 ~ January 14, 2016
It is with great sadness that the family of A. Cameron `Cam’ McKee announces his passing on January 14, 2016 after a lengthy illness. Cam was born on September 30, 1941 in Bralorne, BC (near Lillooet), and was the eldest of four siblings. Cam served in the Canadian Armed Forces as a rifleman from 1958 until 1962. He married Alma Marie Praxede LeComte on June 2, 1962 and worked as a barber in Newton before moving to Quesnel in 1973. Cam was an avid hunter and fisherman, hockey fan, gold miner, and a realtor in Quesnel for over 30 years.
He was pre-deceased by his wife of 45 years, Alma, in 2007, by his mother, May Field McKee Yarrow, in 2011 and his fathers, William “Ted” McKee and Edward Yarrow. Cam is survived by his sister Chris (Rip) Riopelle; his brothers Edward (Sheila) Yarrow and Mike (Sherry) Yarrow; his daughters Lori (Mike) McKee, Terri (Daryll) Matula, and Christi (Jason) Poitras and by his five grandchildren Rebecca (Jarratt) Nazaruk, Michael (Carmen) Matula, Katie Stringer, and Garret and Natalie Poitras. The family would like to thank everyone at the
Dunrovin Park Hospice for their kind and compassionate care in Dad’s final days – it was invaluable. In lieu of flowers, a donation to the Q & D Hospice & Palliative Care Society or to the Canadian Cancer Agency would be appreciated. A Celebration of Cam’s Life will be held in the spring of 2016.

Matthew Hutchinson when he played for the Quesnel Millionaires
Observer file photo
Quesnel loses a member of its hockey family RYAN GRAHAM Observer Reporter
Quesnel has lost a member of its hockey family. Matthew Hutchinson, a former British Columbia Hockey League player and Quesnel Millionaire, has died. The 24- year old, along with three others, were found deceased in a home near the State University of New York at Geneseo, where he played on the universities varsity hockey team and studied. “We are deeply saddened to hear the news of Matthew’s passing,” BCHL Commissioner, John Grisdale said in a statement. “He was a hockey player that worked extremely hard to earn the opportunities he got in the game. His former coaches and teammates remember him fondly and I know he will be missed.” Hutchinson, a native of North Vancouver is remember by his coaches and teammates as having a positive impact on the people around him and his outgoing personality. Former Marketing Director and Play by Play broadcaster for the Millionaires, Al Manderson echoed those same sentiments saying Hutchinson was a good all-around kid, personable, easy to talk too and always approachable. “He was just a great guy to be around and a great ambassador

for us,” Manderson said. “It’s really unfortunate to hear about this. Just a great team player would be the best way to describe him.” Former Colour Commentator of the Millionaires and current Deputy Chief of the Quesnel Volunteer Fire Department , Mike Russell said Hutchinson showed interest in becoming a volunteer firefighter during his time in Quesnel. “He had shown interest when he was playing here for the Millionaires,” Russell said. “He never did join us but I think that was just the timing and his age. He did come here and spend a morning with me going over all the particulars and what he would need to become a firefighter later on in life.” Russell also said he was driven and mature. “He knew where he would have wanted to go in the future and from what I saw he was mature beyond his years,” Russell said. During his BCHL career, Hutchinson played a total of 130 games for the Surrey Eagles, Chilliwack Chiefs, Coquitlam Express and the Millionares. Both Coquitlam and Chiliwack will hold a moment of silence for Hutchinson before their next home games with the Express on Jan. 22 and the Chiefs on Jan. 30.
