During last week’s packed School District 28 meeting, trustees unanimously voted to consider the closure of Ecole Baker, Parkland and Kersley schools. With the decision being made, there will now be a 60-day consultation process to decide if they will close the schools with the final decision slated for March 30. During the meeting, held at Chuck Mobley Theatre, the board laid out the information regarding the closures of the schools – the two biggest issues being declining enrolment and lack of funding from the Ministry of Education.
“The issues of declining enrolment and funding are not issues that are new to the system, but they make cause for growing concern,” SD28 secretarytreasurer, Bettina Ketcham said. “Funding is directly tied to student enrolment. The suggestions that we’ve received, for example moving students to more full schools to less full schools and between boundary lines are not going to provide any financial relief whatsoever. “If we leave things the way they are we’re going to be forced to make cuts directly to classrooms. “Historically we’ve been able to make cuts in our budget by reducing our teaching positions or our educational assistants.”
This is a NO DOG EVENT
Ketcham also highlighted they are not allowed to run a deficit and if they did they would not be provided with any funding, which would then come out of the following years’ budget. She also said BC Hydro and MSP increases are another concern because they come out of the operational budget and are not funded by the ministry. During the meeting the board heard from concerned residents over the closures. Retired teacher, Roxiane Preston who was in support of Kersley said smaller schools allow there to be a better teacher student relationship. “I know in a smaller school the teachers get to
know the students a whole lot better,” Preston said. “I’ve decided that I would ask to speak because I’m really worried about all the little schools getting closed. The idea is that we’re saving money. “How can you save money when you have to take all these students from a smaller school community and put them into a larger school community? “Then you have to have portables and portables cost money, so why not leave them in the smaller school?” According to the report from the Cornerstone Planning Group, which recommended the board go through with this process, the excess capacity for Parkland is 65 per cent, Kersley 39 per

cent and Ecole Baker 27 per cent. The report also said the cost per student at Kersley is $10,452, while Ecole Baker was $7,376 and Parkland was $9, 410. Board chairperson, Tony Goulet said the decision to close schools is a difficult one. “Over the last several years, as you can see, boards of educations have had to make difficult decisions,” Goulet said. “Cost has risen, enrolment has declined and funding has decreased and it’s not just us,” he said. “All boards of educations across the province are dealing with these implications when it comes to school closures. “Looking ahead many
tough decisions will have to be made by the board and for me I understand that change can be difficult. “Emotions tend to take hold of our thoughts and our thought process, but we have to remain with a clear mind. “We have to think about what makes the best educational sound decision for our students, using the resources that we have.” Quesnel is not new to school closures as Narcosil was closed in 2014, Richbar in 2002, Maple Drive Junior Secondary in 2003 and West Fraser Elementary in 2004 due to a fire. If the closures are agreed to, they would take effect June 30, 2016.

Council hears from Child Welfare The Office of the Provincial Director of Child Welfare, the Ministry of Children and Family Development (“Ministry”) have been providing information to police, health care practitioners, educators and social service providers relating the legislated duty to report child protection concerns to a child welfare worker. Carissa Boyd, Quesnel Intake Team Leader, informed council: • There is a duty to report to the Ministry of Children and Family Development, under the Province’s Child, Family and Community Service Act, when you believe a child or youth, under the age of 19, is being abused or neglected. • It is a criminal offence to not report promptly, or to knowingly make a false report, concerns regarding a child/ youth’s welfare that comes with a $10,000 fine and/or up to 6 months in prison. • When respond-
ing to child welfare reports, the Ministry focuses on the strengths of the family and the family’s support networks and works to put family supports and family services in place; with the removal of the child/youth only as a last resort. Not all reports are responded to as a measured screening tool assists child welfare workers in determining if a child/ youth is really being neglected or abused. In 2015 child welfare workers completed 23,000 responses in British Columbia with 10% of those responses resulting in the removal of the child or youth. • To make a child/ youth protection report call 1-800-6639122; or if the child/ youth is in immediate danger, call the RCMP immediately at 9-1-1. • If a child or youth would like to talk to someone call the Children and Youth Helpline at 310-1234. For more informa-

Soccer Council approved a License of Occupation with the Cariboo Regional District and the Quesnel Youth Soccer Association (“QYSA”) to manage the soccer complex. QYSA has managed the Soccer Complex since 2003 (outdoor fields) and 2006 (indoor Sport Field Facility). Each year QYSA will receive $70,000, which will be increased yearly based on inflation, to manage the property and is responsible for all operating costs, including utilities, snow removal and building, field and parking lot maintenance. The City of Quesnel and the Cariboo Regional District are responsible for
the cost of capital improvements to the property. HandyDART Services in Quesnel Council asked the Executive Committee to look at the City’s HandyDART bus services.

While in Prince George I met with industry leaders and discussed resource development opportunities. Our government continues to pursue responsible resource development to grow our strong and diverse economy through industries such as forestry, mining, energy and LNG. I had the opportunity to sit down and talk to New Gold about their Blackwater project and discuss the opportunities around our small businesses. There were various presenters, including the Northern Development Initiative Trust. They have led the growth of Small Town Love, a business initiative that showcases locally owned business across northern B.C., including here in Quesnel. By June, 31 communities in northern B.C. and more than 1,500 businesses will be part of this program – the biggest of its kind in North America. This is part of the work I am supporting in our efforts to be the most business friendly jurisdiction in North America. Learn more about the Northern Development Initiative Trust at northerndevelopment.bc.ca/. In addition to expanding our resource sector and cultivating business opportunities, our government wants to make life easier for businesses and citizens by cutting red tape. This past fall, we held a successful public consultation on reducing red tape for British Columbians. More than 5,900 people participated throughout the consultation and we’re reviewing the ideas we received now and working to implement them. For example, we received several ideas around improving service delivery at ICBC, and as a result, the number of knowledge test kiosks has been increased over the past year to enable testing during the evening and Saturdays at busy locations, making it easier for students to get their driver’s license. Plus, ICBC has recently streamlined the parental consent process so that parents no longer have to attend in-person to provide consent for an applicant under the age of 19. Last week was Red Tape Awareness Week, a national event hosted by the Canadian Federation of Independent Business (CFIB) to encourage governments across Canada to reduce the regulatory burden for businesses. I’m happy to report that for the fifth consecutive year the B.C. government has received an “A” in red tape reduction. I was also privileged to be announced by the CFIB as a finalists for the Golden Scissors Award, which honours those who have shown leadership and delivered meaningful results in cutting red tape for small business. Looks like CFIB thinks we’re on the right track.

This past June, Barkerville Historic Town and Park played host to Timber Kings, the hit HGTV reality television series starring a crew of master log-smiths from Williams Lake’s own Pioneer Log Homes of British Columbia… and now the Kings are returning the favour. At 7 p.m. Feb. 7 the sixth episode of Timber Kings’ third-season, “Going for Gold,” will reveal the amazing results of Certified Swiss Timber Framer Peter Arnold’s authentic reconstruction of the 19th-century Barker & Co.’s windlass, mineshaft
and shaft house, in exactly the same spot Billy Barker’s crew originally built the structures more than 150 years ago. Before the gold rush city of Barkerville was deemed the largest settlement North of San Francisco and West of Chicago, it was little more than the dream of an English prospector named William “Billy” Barker and his ragtag group of gentleman miners – Barker & Co. Aug. 17, 1862, Barker & Co. recorded one of the largest creek side gold deposits the world had ever seen, hoisting bucket-
care
loads of nuggets by hand from the bottom of the Williams Creek valley to its surface, through fifty feet of soggy gravel, using a device called a windlass. A windlass is the winchlike device at the top of a rudimentary mineshaft that uses two buckets on a skip system to remove water and gravel from the shaft: one bucket goes down the shaft empty while the other comes up full. The Barker & Co. claim was eventually prosperous enough to build larger and more efficient machines like waterwheels and
steam-powered pumps, but in those early days it was two men on a hand crank, working 12-hour shifts, 24 hours a day, seven days per week. A shaft house was built over top of the windlass to protect the mineshaft and force air down into the tunnels below; a sluice box was also constructed, for the purposes of washing gravel and exposing the gold nuggets within it. Since January of 2014, the Pioneer crew has also been stars of HGTV’s wildly successful reality television program Timber Kings, and next week the Kings will be traveling

to Barkerville Historic Town in order to recreate a legacy that has been more than 150 years in the making. “The reconstruction of our Barker & Co. mineshaft and shaft house is already a remarkable legacy for Barkerville visitors for generations to come,” Barkerville CEO Ed Coleman said. “We cannot thank Pioneer Log Homes of British Columbia and Timber Kings enough for providing us with this lasting opportunity, and we look forward to seeing the onscreen results.”

Investing in Our Community The next few years will be banner years for taxpayer investment in our community. Between the almost $9 million the City will invest in the West Quesnel Land Stability (WQLS) project and additional road improvements associated with that project, our normal capital investment and infrastructure improvement programs, and the Arena Project, Quesnel will be abuzz with activity -- with plenty of economic opportunities for local workers, contractors, and businesses. In order to guarantee we truly maximize the local benefits of these and other taxpayer funded projects and purchases, Council is conducting a comprehensive review of its procurement policies. Our intent is to ensure our purchasing policies reflect current and emerging best practices in sustainability, ethical purchasing, the provision of a living wage, and the maximization of local benefits. An additional upcoming community investment project that Council believes is necessary and timely is a new public works facility, which we intend to build on land previously purchased on Sword Road across from United Concrete (the old soccer fields). We want to have our new procurement policies in place to ensure this project returns maximum benefits to our community too. A new public works facility is a long overdue investment that previous Councils continually delayed undertaking (with resultant cost escalation) and which the current Council is now committed to expediting. This $10 million investment is necessary to provide a modern, efficient, safe, and healthy work environment for our Public Works employees (about onethird of the City’s workforce). We also need to move Public Works off the Quesnel river floodplain. Relocating public works away from our Riverfront Trail will give us opportunities to enhance our green space amenities along the Quesnel River, including the long asked for possibility of an RV Park near the downtown core and West Fraser Timber Park. As a result of the fiscal discipline Council applied to its 2015 and 2016 budgets and some forward planning, City staff and Council believe we can borrow the $10 million needed to build this new public works facility without incremental taxation. This will be accomplished through cost efficiencies associated with the new facility, making final payments on the Johnston Bridge loan, and ending further annual contributions toward the WQLS reserve. The City’s annual debt burden will continue to remain well below our allowable limit of 25% of our revenues after borrowing the money necessary for this project. The % debt of total operating costs after the loan would be approximately 6%. The borrowing bylaw for the public works project has passed second reading and we are now in the public consultation phase of this process, as Council requires public approval to borrow this money. This week Thursday (January 28) there is an open house in Council Chambers starting at 7pm. The concept drawings and business case for this project will be presented at this Open House and public comments and input will be actively sought. The process for obtaining voter assent to borrow the money to build this proposed new public works facility will also be reviewed at this meeting. Please make time to attend this important community meeting. After this meeting all the information presented will be posted on the City’s website. We will also be sending out a special Q-City News to every household in the coming weeks. Mayor Bob Simpson bsimpson@quesnel.ca

B.C. economy to grow in face of global turmoil Jeff Nagel Black Press
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.
B.C.’s economy is forecast to grow at a healthy clip of three per cent this year despite growing global financial uncertainty that has seen stock markets plunge and the Canadian dollar swoon in tandem with the dive in oil prices. That prediction comes from Central 1 Credit Union senior economist Bryan Yu, who says the province will lead Canada in growth and should weather the global economic turmoil well, thanks to improved exports and tourism due to the weak loonie. “B.C. will continue to benefit from low interest rates and a lower currency, despite challenges presented by a weak commodity sector,” Yu said. “Lifted by household demand and housing investment, economic growth will ease slightly from 2015 but remain moderate.” Yu also expects economic growth to average three per cent from 2017 on, with steady consumer activity and higher business investment tied to major project construction. His forecast assumes one large liquefied natural gas terminal will be built in B.C. and Yu cautioned growth would be slower at about 2.5 per cent and unemployment higher by 0.5 per cent if a new LNG plant fails to materialize. He predicts unemployment will edge up slightly in 2016 to 6.3 per cent before declining in subsequent years. The forecast is in contrast to a new Insights West poll that shows B.C. residents have become considerably more pessimistic about the economy and many are adopting a frugal mindset as they hunker down for financial trouble. Two-in-five of those surveyed expect B.C.’s economy to decline and at least 40 per cent said they plan to slash spending on entertainment, new clothes or dining out to prepare for tougher times. The poll found 93 per cent expect to pay more for groceries over the next six months and 71 per cent expect higher real estate prices. Nearly half of respondents said they’ve worried frequently or occasionally about the value of their investments.

DEVELOPMENT OF A PEST MANAGEMENT PLAN
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.

t isn’t only men and women in uniform who can curb crime – anyone is capable of contributing. Crime Stoppers proves that, year after year. January is Crime Stoppers Month and a fine time to recognize the valuable service that the program provides along with its partners in the community, media and the RCMP. Technology has the potential to make things easier on tipsters. Those who witness crimes don’t have to call the tipline from a pay phone and hang up; it’s simpler than ever to submit information electronically – even via your smartphone – and create useful dialogue with law enforcement. Crime continues to be troubling in any community, but there are sometimes indicators that the statistics are moving in the right direction. Certain individuals who have been responsible for an inordinate number of crimes have been caught, often thanks to the help of individuals utilizing the Crime Stoppers resources. While the overall crime rate tends to fluctuate depending on where you are across Canada, the crime rate has been on an overall decline for two decades. There is an argument that society nowadays lacks good, old-fashioned values, and while that may be true, we do possess good, modern values. Forms of abuse and violence that may have been socially accepted in past generations are no longer tolerated. So if we know that crime is intolerable and unacceptable, then it shouldn’t be a stretch to want to be a part of the solution. And that’s where Crime Stoppers comes in. Whatever the stats show, crime happens and will continue to happen. Certain heinous crimes we can only lament from afar and feel powerless, but in our own communities we can make a difference. We can all be deputies, in a way – eyes and ears, Block Watchers, Crime Stoppers, the superhero’s sidekick who sometimes, improbably, saves the day. Hopefully the situation will never arise where we’re anywhere close to a crime in progress. But when it does happen, let’s try to be Crime Stoppers. –BP

W
ith unlicensed marijuana dispensaries popping up in urban areas and thousands of unregulated medical licences for home growing still in legal limbo, the Trudeau government is starting work on its promise to legalize recreational use. Marijuana was a media darling in the recent election, but meeting in Vancouver with provincial ministers last week, federal Health Minister Jane Philpott found herself preoccupied with issues deemed more urgent. These include shifting our post-war acute hospital model to community primary care, tackling aboriginal health care needs, pooling pharmaceutical purchases to slow rising costs, and meeting an urgent Supreme Court of Canada directive to legalize assisted dying. At the closing news conference in Vancouver, Philpott was asked how recreational marijuana should be sold. Licensed medical growers want exclusive rights do it by mail as permitted by the Harper government, another measure forced by our high court. That would shut out the
Tom Fletcher
B.C. Views rash of supposedly medical storefronts, which city halls in Vancouver and elsewhere imagine they can regulate. Philpott said the question is “premature” and federalprovincial justice ministers were dealing with it at their meeting. Ottawa will have a “task force” too. Vancouver descended into a pot store free-for-all due to benign neglect from council and police, and Victoria isn’t far behind. Vancouver Coun. Kerry Jang, a rare voice of reason in the Big Smoke, has protested dispensaries using street hawkers to attract young buyers, and pot stores setting up near schools. Other communities, more aware of their limitations, have resisted issuing business licences. One recent proposal in the Victoria suburb of View Royal came from a fellow who insisted marijuana
But the notion that marijuana might be sold next to beer and vodka in government stores deserves sober second thought, and serious scientific work of the kind that has shown damage to developing brains from teenage marijuana use. Of course all of this urban hand-wringing over pot stores ignores the de facto legalization that has existed across B.C. for decades. The Nelson Star had a funny story last week about a local woman’s discovery on Google Earth. Zooming in on area mountains, one finds not only the Purcell landmark Loki Peak, but also Weed Peak, Grow Op Peak, Cannabis Peak and Hydroponic Peak. Whatever the source of this cyber-prank, it could also be applied to other regions of B.C. For the record, I’ll restate my long-standing position that legalization is the only logical answer. I’ll say the same about other drugs that drive most B.C. crime, but that’s a subject for another day. Tom Fletcher is B.C. legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press.

extract had cured his cancer. This is typical of claims that proliferate on the Internet, and is one of many warning signs about dispensaries that put up red cross signs to sell pot products with exotic names. B.C. Health Minister Terry Lake was more forthcoming a few days earlier, responding to a Vancouver reporter who judged marijuana more interesting than his just-announced plan to hire 1,600 more nurses by the end of March. Lake noted that Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne is keen to sell marijuana through the province’s monopoly liquor stores. B.C.’s government liquor store union has also endorsed this idea, forming an unlikely alliance with non-union private stores to get in on the action. “There are public health officials that I’ve talked to who say that the co-location of marijuana and liquor sales is not advisable from a public health perspective,” Lake said. “I think whatever we do it has to be highly regulated, quality control has to be excellent and above all we must protect young people.” Yes, liquor stores check ID.

Anger should be directed at government Editor: Re: School closure meeting. I attended last week’s School Board meeting at which School Trustees heard from concerned citizens about their decision to begin the process of public consultations on the potential closure of Kersley, Parkland, and Ecole Baker elementary schools. I was impressed with both the School Board’s presentation of the financial realities forcing them to make this difficult decision and
Letters to the Editor
with the vast majority of comments and pleas from concerned citizens about the implications of closing more neighbourhood schools. One presentation did not impress me in the least and clearly illustrated the need for each of us to be more informed about how our governments actually work. While I fully appreciate that closing a school in a community incites deep passions and concerns, there is no excuse for any citizen to threaten elected officials and their families as this presenter did.
But, more importantly, this particular presenter showed a deep ignorance of the way decisions are made about education funding and pointed the blame for the financial woes of our school district at the Trustees and not at the provincial government where it clearly belongs. If we truly want to engage in meaningful debate about the state of our schools, the educational supports our children are provided with, and the way our teachers are treated and supported. We need to
clearly understand that School Trustees are held hostage by the province. School Boards have no independent taxation authority and get an annual financial contribution from the province based, primarily, on the number of students enrolled in the District. The province’s financial contribution to School Districts has not been increased to cover annual increases in MSP, energy and other inflationary costs, collective agreements settled by the province, and
downloaded programs and services imposed by the same provincial government. Yes, student enrollment has declined dramatically leading to the need to close some schools, but systemic underfunding by the province is the real culprit behind the School District’s budget woes. Rather than threatening or blaming School Trustees, we all need to let our MLA and the provincial Minister of Education know that we want our children’s education funded at a level that allows us to
enjoy the benefits of neighbourhood schools (within reason) and which enables School Boards to fully support our teachers and support staff so they are equipped to meet the learning needs of every student. Despite the best efforts of our School Board, the provincial government ultimately determines the quality of our public education system and that’s where the focus of our anger and angst should be directed.

Miss Me But Let Me Go When I come to the end of this road, And the sun has set for me, I want no rites in a gloom filled room; Why cry for a soul set free? Miss me a little but not too long, And not with your head bowed low, Remember the love that we once shared, Miss me...but let me go. For this is a journey we all must take, And each must go alone. It is all a part of the Master’s plan, A step on the road to home.

Fertility Awareness Week was held last May. It was a week for governments, patients and families to reflect on the challenges that many people face trying to have children. The technology to improve the chances of conception have improved immensely during the past decade but still some couples have problems. It can be a sad and lonely time. For help and support, try this website: fertilitymatters.ca There are links to many resources to help couples feel not so alone. It’s good to be aware of any changes in the appearance of any part of your body. This applies to moles and other skin blemishes, feet (especially important for diabetics) and breasts. In the case of breast changes, watch for lumps, size and shape changes of the breast or nipples as well as any abnormal discharges. Share any body changes with your doctor. The mid-day nap is a common cultural phenomenon in countries like Spain and Mexico. But daytime nap can be good for you, too. It can help lower your blood pressure which in turn can reduce your risk of heart attack. Not everyone can insert a daily siesta into their life but if you can, give it a try. The World Health Organization announced that we are a step closer to the total eradication of polio. The WHO has removed Nigeria from the list of countries where polio is still a threat. It has been a year without any cases of polio. When the country goes for three years, it can be declared polio free. For information on vaccines, talk to our pharmacists. We believe in immunization.

Leonel J.T. Renaud age 88 passed away peacefully on Wednesday, Jan 20th, 2016 at Dunrovin Hospice in Quesnel after a short battle with lung cancer. Leo was born April 22, 1927 in Hearst, Ontario to Arthur and Aurore (Dupuis) Renaud. He was the eldest of 16 children. He moved to Quesnel in the early 1950’s where he married and had 4 children. He owned and operated the We Fix It All Shop in Quesnel for over 30 years. He believed that fixing and repairing was better than throwing things away and recycled long before it became popular to do so. Leo always tried to help people in need and was a kind and generous man. After retirement he loved to play poker at the local casino and to watch poker tournaments and Wheel of Fortune on TV. Leo is predeceased by his parents, brothers - Fernand, Elois, Pat, sister - Rose-Aimee, son Terry, grandson Craig, granddaughter Amber, and son-in-law Calvin. He is survived by his son Arthur, daughters Yvonne and Diana (Leigh), grandchildren - Crystal (Paul), Cory (Susan), Kerry (Brian), Kyle (Calise), Adrienne and Dustin, great grandchildren - Andrew, Logan, Casandra, Alexis and Brooke, plus 6 brothers; 5 sisters, uncles and aunts, and many nieces, nephews and cousins.

The other championship game saw the Carolina Panthers run over the Arizona Cardinals, as they defeated them 49-15. Cam Newton showed why he is the favourite to be the National Football League’s most valuable player this season, as he threw for 335 yards, which included two passing and two rushing touchdowns.

Quesnel snowshoers heading to National Winter Games Ryan Graham Observer Reporter Danny Dodgson and Cherie Swan’s love for snowshoeing has taken their passion from being an enjoyable time out on the snow to being a competitive one. The two are part of the Quesnel Special Olympics team and will be going to the National Winter Games in Corner Brook, NL, which will be the first time they have qualified to attend nationals. Last year both attended provincials and came back with the hardware to prove it. Dodgson won three gold medals and Swan won two golds and a bronze. They both look to take their success from last year and turn it into a positive result at nationals. Dodgson, who has been snowshoeing for five years said he became interested in the sport because of the competition and it allows him to meet new people.
“I just signed up for it and decided that I liked it and continued snowshoeing,” Dodgson said. “It’s good exercise and you go out of town a lot and you get to meet new people at competitions.” He says as nationals approaches he is beginning to get excited, but knows he must focus on the task at hand. “Just go there and do my best and don’t worry about the crowd,” Dodgson said. “Focus on your races and don’t worry about anything else.” Swan echoed those same sentiments, but admitted that it’s a little bit nerve racking thinking about nationals. She also said one of the hardest things for her is the preparation in how the snow conditions will be once they arrive. Before they go to nationals they will have a snowshoeing meet in Prince George on Feb. 6, which allows them to get some competition before they head to Newfoundland.

Lions Club
This obituary is prepared by Anna Paisley, her children Melody (Mark) Walker, Trevor (Lisa) Stewart, Anita (Rob) Castle, and grandchildren Brianna, Kayla, Lindsey, Carson, Sabrina, and Dillan, and great grandson Landon - as well as extended family members and friends to honour and memorialize the life of Bill Paisley - Grampa Bear as he was called by the children and sometimes Grizzly Adams by friends. Those nicknames were only part of a manyfaceted man. Bill lived on the West Fraser Road south of Quesnel until his passing. He was an electrician by trade until he retired, but he was at home in the kitchen and was an accomplished cook, baker, and butcher - processing jams, jellies, vegetables, salmon, other various meats, brewing homemade wine, and serving his famous pancakes for many guests and visitors over the years. Bill was also a talented carpenter and built many outbuildings for the animals being raised on the farm. He loved to carve spoons and make hunting and kitchen knives. He generously shared the harvest and homemade gifts with family and friends. Other interests in Bill's life included feeding many wild birds, including hundreds of hummingbirds in the summer, listening to country, bluegrass, and gospel music. Bill was an avid hunter, so the freezers were always full of wild meat. For those who knew Bill, it was common knowledge there was no lack of food supplies in the home - in case of an emergency, head to Bill's!!! As well, Bill was involved with Environment Canada doing the weather station for over 25 years. Cribbage games were a great enjoyment to him and would chuckle loudly when he skunked an opponent. Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy were a nightly ritual, while holding his favourite cat or enjoying the company of a beloved dog - Honey Cat, Pepper Pot, Salty Dog, Lady Bug, and Tippy to name a few. What you saw with Bill is what you got, unpretentious and non-judgmental, realistic in what life brought to him. He made an enviable contribution to life while he was here on earth. There is no doubt neighbours and friends on West Fraser Road, as well as his friends and coworkers at James & Sons in Quesnel miss his presence in their lives. His weekly visits to town included CarryAll Books, the Co-op, Willis Harper, the liquor store, and most importantly the Quesnel Library to collect his reading material. Thank you to the many doctors from Prince George, Quesnel, and Vancouver who cared for him over the years with a major back operation, four knee surgeries, and lastly his open heart operation in 2011. Knowing he is no longer in pain gives some comfort. Bill is also memorialized in Taylor, BC as the subject of the gold panner carving done by Ken Sheen from Quesnel. If you are ever in that area, stop by and say hello. Bill was a mountain of a man, not only in physical stature, but his largess of heart and mind, selfeducated in scholastic achievement and knowledge. Folks who knew Bill are encouraged to visit the Quesnel Public Library and enjoy the “reading corner” where chairs and a table are dedicated to his memory by Anna and her family. "Self-educated armchair scholar"
