SAVE TIME. SAVE MONEY.

Security from Qatar to the Cariboo DANIKA M. HÉBERT Observer Reporter Quesnel’s becoming a safer place, thanks to Mark Connolly, of Comark Security Services.

Connolly, originally from the United Kingdom, has recently relocated his family to Quesnel, where he has settled with his wife and son after working everywhere from the United Kingdom to Qatar.

He started his career in security with the British Merchant Navy.

“I was instructing Special Forces going to Northern Ireland,” Connolly said.

“I worked on the Princess Cruises and that’s where I met my wife.”

From there, they decided to move to Vancouver, to settle

down somewhat.

“I had enough of going to sea because you work six months at a time offshore,” Connolly explained.

Once in Vancouver, Connolly joined a security company and quickly worked his way up.

“I started as a guard but worked my way up to being an instructor,” he said.

“I did some private investigating, body guarding, then worked as an operations branch manager.”

After some time in Vancouver, Connolly relocated to Calgary.

“I transferred with the same company to Calgary as their operations manager, managing large accounts,” he explained.

In 2006, Connolly moved once again.

But this time, he was

headed to the Middle East.

“The country is very oil and gas rich,” Connolly said.

“While I was there, my duties were operational.

“I provided security for visiting heads of state, such as the Prince of Wales, the Prime Minister of Iceland, the President of South Africa, the Emir of Qatar and the Emir of the United Arab Emirates.”

It was in Qatar that Connolly had his favourite, albeit most challenging, experience.

“During a visit from the South Korean

president, everything they wanted to do security-wise was down to the second,” Connolly said with a chuckle.

“It was a logistical nightmare trying to do access control for 176,000 people plus dealing with traffic issues as well, I think that was a highlight.”

Although this was a great opportunity for Connolly career-wise, he decided with his wife to move back to Canada.

“In 2010, my wife and I decided to move back to Canada,” Connolly explained.

“My wife was born and raised here.”

Now that he’s established himself in Quesnel, Connolly has started doing security for local businesses.

“I was a bit over qualified for basic security work and not qualified at all for forestry driven employment,” he said.

“Last year, I started to create my own job and as of January, I’ve picked up the contracts for the hospital, West Park Mall and Extra Foods.

“Things are going great.”

For more information, call Connolly, 250-992-5234 or email, mark@comarksecurity.com.

orm 2 and Form 4 students (grades 10 and 12) write their official government exams while the Forms 1 and 3 (grades 9 and 11) write the school-based exams.

Government exams for Form 2 actually began this next week.

The third and final term’s classes end on June 22.

Government exams for Form 4 and school exams for Forms 1 and 3 begin on June 25.

The school’s graduation celebration will be held that day at a hall rented for the occasion.

100 per cent on that exam mark, not effort or attendance or quizzes.

I am really hoping my students, the ones who have attended class faithfully, will do well on their English exams.

The last day of the school year, closing day, is on July 13 and will be marked with an assembly with speeches, award presentations and special music.

Malawi students who hope to attend college or university must wait until next March to write entrance exams.

If they do well, they may be selected to attend university for the following school year.

Scholarships through different aid programs are available.

In short, this means that students here must wait up to two full years to begin their post-secondary education, hard for me to grasp, coming from Canada.

Somehow, they must survive this extended time, waiting and hoping for a chance to go on with their education.

This is very hard for students like Harry, with the high unemployment rate and the widespread poverty.

I am trying to arrange continued support for Harry after I leave Ma-

lawi so that he can make it through the two year period.

I am confident that he will be selected for a scholarship placement when his turn finally comes.

His goal is to become a medical doctor. It is also especially difficult for girls, who are pressured by family to marry and have children.

Let us hope that Malawi’s new president will be able to direct improvements in this system so students don’t have to wait for so long.

I have now been in Malawi for five months: less than two more months to go now until I return

to Quesnel.

That gets me just a little, tiny bit excited, finally seeing the approach of the finish line of my long absence.

July 20th is the actual date of my touch-down at the Vancouver airport.

It will be so very good to be home with my husband, my family, and my friends.

The first week or two will be spent getting reacquainted with my husband (who is a saint!) and my immediate family.

See you in August, Quesnel!

West Fraser renews bid West Fraser announced it is proceeding with a renewed normal course issuer bid for up to 1,000,000 common shares of the company, representing approximately 2.5 per cent of the issued and outstanding common shares of the company.

The company announced, April 30 its intention to renew its normal course issuer bid, which expires, May 31, 2012, and apply for approval to conduct a renewed normal course issuer bid.

May 22, 2012, the company had a total of 40,076,013 common shares outstanding.

The company has received approval

from the Toronto Stock Exchange to commence this bid on June 1, 2012.

Purchases will be made on the TSX at the market price at the time of acquisition.

Pursuant to TSX policies, daily purchases will not exceed 14,540 Common shares except where such purchases are made in accordance with the “block purchases” exemptions under applicable TSX policies.

The company’s renewed normal course issuer bid will terminate, May 31, 2013 or earlier if the number of shares sought in the normal course issuer bid have been purchased.

The company reserves the right to terminate the bid earlier if it feels it is appropriate to do so.

The company believes that the market price of its common shares at certain times may be attractive and that the repurchase of common shares at such market prices is an appropriate use of corporate funds.

All shares will be purchased on the open market through the facilities of the TSX,and payment for the shares will be in accordance with TSX policies. The price paid for the shares will be the market price at the time of purchase.

No purchases will be made other than

by means of open market transactions during the term of the normal course issuer bid. The shares purchased by the company will be cancelled.

Purchases may be suspended by the company at any time.

In the past twelve months, the company has not purchased any of its issued and outstanding common shares.

West Fraser is an integrated wood products company producing lumber, wood chips, LVL, MDF, plywood, pulp and newsprint.

The company has operations in western Canada and the southern United States.

Summer or winter, Rob Boutotte walks to work Rob Boutotte walks to and from Cariboo Pulp Mill year round six kilometers a day. He enjoys the fresh air and exercise and it’s better for the environment.

“Why take the car when the engine temperature doesn’t even move off cold and I’m at work? If I walk, by the time I’m up Johnston hill, I’m warmed up, even if it’s -20.”

There are a few problems with walking to work, November through January it is very dark both at 7:30 in the morning and at 4:30 in the afternoon. Rob wears a light and a reflective vest during the darkest months. Also walking down Northstar Road can be impossible during the spring melt when there is too much slush along the roadside.

“The Arrow truck drivers and co-workers that drive to the mill are very considerate, they move over and slow down whenever they can.”

During the warmer months the commute is great and Rob has a choice of three routes. He likes to walk by the river and is often startled by a deer or occasionally by a fox or bear.

“There’s no downside to it that I can think of. If for some reason I couldn’t walk to work anymore I would really miss it,” Rob said.

As things mature and grow from the very beginnings of spring to the heat of summer so do those pesky insects that fly and usually bite. There is nothing more frustrating on a beautiful day outside trying to enjoy your surroundings if you are in constant combat with mosquitoes or flies (several biting species), gnats or mites.

Making the choice of what you ward the bugs off with should be thought out carefully. When you apply something on your skin or clothing it should be effective but certainly not toxic or controversial because of the damage it does to your physical well being or the environment around you. Deet falls in this category of being a very dangerous health risk for adults but even more so specifically for children. Many documented cases of seizures, spasms, numbness, dizziness and rashes. So, what are the alternatives and do they work?

When you choose something to put on your skin the rule should be if you can’t eat it do not apply it because eventually like all topical applications they will make their way into the bloodstream and to vital organs. There are an abundance of natural herbs and essential oils that are available to be applied topically or ingested that will do the job with a little planning on your behalf. Wear lighter clothing; do not apply perfume or lotions with flowery or fruity scents. If you are sweating or perspiring the chemicals released from the body are enticing to mosquitoes. If you picnic or hike dark shaded areas or where water has pooled and gathered is a great breeding ground.

Natural repellents should be reapplied and used according to the recommended application on the bottle or ingested prior to going outdoors. Essential oils such as eucalyptus, clove, lavender, citronella or lemongrass and neem along with herbs like calendula, fennel, thyme, rosemary and celery can be helpful. Topical bases like witch hazel, aloe, ionic silver or internal food sources garlic, B1 (Thiamine) are also beneficial. If you use soap and are in a dense bug region hemp, citronella, lavender, tar or carbolic are the best.

These healthy environmentally sound biodegradable choices are just a few ideas and suggestions for you and your family either premixed or that you can blend yourself, Naturally!

OPINIONS Well done

T

he RCMP has come in for some intense criticism in recent weeks, but it’s also worthwhile noting that the force did an outstanding job last week in dealing with a young man armed with a high-powered rifle, who was suspected of killing two people and wounding a third.

The full chronology is worth repeating, as it shows how effectively police were able to deal with this case, and how they took public safety very seriously.

On Sunday evening, May 27, a passerby noticed a body in a Burnaby sushi house. Police investigated and found that two people were dead.

The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team, which is mainly made up of RCMP officers and works in most Lower Mainland municipalities, was called in and did extensive investigation on Monday. Tuesday, May 29, a Burnaby man was shot in front of his home by a former tenant, armed with a rifle. He had evicted the tenant six months earlier, and the young man had been living in his van ever since. The man was seriously injured, but police were able to recover evidence which suggested a link to the double murder.

The following day, Burnaby RCMP issued a public warning that Angus Mitchell was armed, dangerous, living in his van and possibly working through a list of people he had issues with. They gave details about his van, including the licence number, and warned anyone who had associated with him in the past to be very cautious.

Less than an hour later, police received a tip that the van was in a rural area of Maple Ridge. They moved in, tried to get Mitchell to surrender, and shot him after he shot at them. He later died.

While it is tragic that he was shot, police could not take chances with a man they suspected of shooting three people in the past three days. Once he began shooting, they had to return fire.

The RCMP did an outstanding job in quickly investigating the two shooting incidents, and then fitting the evidence together. Most importantly, they issued a public and detailed warning. This allowed the matter to be dealt with quickly, because there is little doubt that Mitchell would have tried to kill someone else quite quickly.

The RCMP deserve commendation for a job well done. They protected the public and solved two very serious crimes. While they would say it’s all part of the job, it’s not an easy job.

It was a job well done.

Chaos reigns in wake of HST T

he old saying goes that if you like sausages and laws, you shouldn’t watch either one being made.

The legislature’s sausage factory worked overtime to crank out a pile of legislative change before the government choked off debate and shut it down for the summer.

This is after a dozen complicated bills were stuffed into the hopper in the final month.

For the first time in B.C. history, debate was carried on in three separate chambers to try to get through it all.

It created a chaotic scene, with politicians and reporters dashing around trying to create the impression they were on top of it all.

The NDP opposition screamed bloody murder about this travesty, especially as the clock ran down last week and bills were assigned a token 30 or 45 minutes to meet the B.C. Liberal government’s arbitrary deadline.

Alas, what little time was allowed for the opposition to question legislation was largely frittered away with the usual partisan

Tom Fletcher

B.C. Views sniping that substitutes for alternative ideas.

The good news is that this mad rush wasn’t a calculated scheme to ram through unpopular, unfair measures. Quite the contrary. The B.C. Liberal government’s back is to the wall, trying to do what the public and circumstances demand and save its own skin.

Here’s a partial list of the marching orders. Get rid of the harmonized sales tax and bring back a computerized version of the old, inefficient provincial sales tax.

Unclog the court system, which has become so constipated that a Stanley Cup riot fool can’t even plead guilty in a reasonable time. And find a way to make our growing population of urban anarchists and assorted

A similar administrative system is being established for small civil claims and strata property disputes.

Some legislation is to fix earlier screw-ups. A judge tossed out B.C.’s most heavy-handed administrative penalties for failing a roadside blood alcohol test, so the government brought in a new version that allows for another administrative appeal.

The mistake of making transit operate on a poorly policed “honour system” goes back to Social Credit days. There is finally a system to enforce collection of fines, on those rare occasions when someone is ticketed for taking a free ride.

Even with the last-minute rush, four bills couldn’t be rammed through. Since the legislature will almost certainly have to be recalled to impose a contract on teachers this fall, the government would do well to provide a couple of weeks for orderly debate at that time.

other deadbeats pay to ride transit.

The HST exercise continues to exact its cost.

The unprecedented job of creating a modern system for the archaic sales tax was the main cause of the legislative logjam, tying up government lawyers and delaying drafting of other bills.

Small businesses that paid $3,000 to convert to HST get to pay another $3,000 to go back, and we had all better hope the new computer software works.

Speaking of computers, one of the laws passed amid the shouting is one that establishes an online system for disputing traffic tickets.

Police will print out tickets from their cars instead of hand-writing them, and drivers will have an alternative way to argue about whether they really ran that red light.

Fighting a ticket in court now takes seven to 18 months, tying up judges, court registry staff and police. An administrative system won’t keep them all out of court, but the government hopes to reduce the average resolution time to 90 days and save $8 million a year or more.

Gold Pan City residents do it again Editor: I am writing to thank the people of Quesnel for your continued support of the Canadian Cancer Society and to acknowledge your commitment to the Society’s mission of eradicating cancer and enhancing the quality of life of those people living with cancer.

The impact of cancer is enormous and the Canadian Cancer Society is making progress against these devastating diseases.

The cancer death rate is going down, resulting

Letters to the Editor

in nearly 100,000 lives saved over the last 20 years (1988 to 2007).

However, cancer remains the leading cause of death in Canada.

The Canadian Cancer Society is unique in that it acts across the entire cancer landscape, leading critical cancer prevention and advocacy initiatives, investing in outstanding research and delivering trusted information and compassionate support in British Columbia and Yukon.

In 2011 alone we served about 20,000 clients in

B.C. and Yukon.

Investing in cancer prevention and advocacy is bringing clear benefits to communities across the province.

B.C. has the lowest cancer incidence rate in Canada.

Our work with government is resulting in policies that make healthier choices easier choices.

The Canadian Cancer Society has also been actively advocating to the government for it to fulfill its responsibility to ensure that people have access

to treatment regardless of where they live in the province.

Through events like the Relay For Life, we are able to fund research projects across the country; to support cancer patients in our lodges; financially; at children’s summer camp; with wig and breast prostheses banks; and with comprehensive information on our website and through our Cancer Information Service (1-888-939-3333).

With cancer incidence in northern B.C. exceeding

1000 people diagnosed each year, we must continue to fight back in our efforts to eradicate cancer.

The Quesnel Relay For Life raised over $140,000 this year and in doing so helps Quesnel cancer patients receive accommodation, information, financial support and peer support.

In addition you contribute to the funding of research projects and prevention initiatives that are so vital to all of us, no matter where we live.

Please know that the

support of our community is incredibly important to cancer patients at home and across the country.

Should you like more information, please call our local office at 250992-6551.

LAWN & GARDEN ‘Tis the season to be bitten W

ith the hot, humid and dry summer months ahead, we can finally look forward to being outdoors and enjoying all the fun activities summer has to offer. However, summer is also a time where mosquitoes and deer ticks like to roam and make our lives miserable and uncomfortable.

Here are some tips and recommendations to make sure you make it through mosquito season: • Wear light-coloured, loose clothes and avoid scented products when outdoors, especially from dusk to dawn, which is the peak feeding time for mosquitoes.

• Remove areas of standing water near your house as they can be breeding areas for

mosquito bites.

Some theorize that it’s because some older repellents with DEET are greasy and have an unpleasant odour, so people don’t like to use them.

Many people don’t realize there are new odourless and non-greasy products on the market today that make taking precautions against bug bites much easier.

In fact, Avon, the creators of the iconic Skin So Soft product line, has launched a new bug repellent in Canada – Skin So Soft Bug Guard Plus Icaridin that provides strong and dependable repellency against mosquitoes for up to five hours and deer ticks for up to seven hours.

Its key repelling agent, Icaridin, is an effective alternative ingredient to DEET.

• Clean Gutters – gutters clogged with debris allow stagnant water to form perfect landing zones for mosquito eggs.

• Wear closed shoes and a hat to avoid ticks. Tuck pants into socks.

• Inspect your clothing and body after exploring wooded or grassy areas.

The best way to reduce bites is to use an insect repellent when spending time outdoors in mosquito-infested areas.

Unfortunately not everyone takes these precautions.

According to a survey conducted by Harvard University for the Harvard School of Public Health Project on the Public and Biological Security, 40 percent of adults in the United States did not take precautions to prevent

Unlike DEET, it has a pleasant scent, is nongreasy, non-irritating and has a light, clean feel when applied.

Icaridin has been used worldwide since 1998 and is one of the best selling active ingredients contained in insect repellent products in Europe.

In the U.S., Icardian is known as Picardian.

The Skin So Soft Bug Guard Plus Picardian has offered protection in the U.S. for those wanting to enjoy outdoor activities without the nuisance and concerns of bug bites since 2006.

From the moment you walk through the caravan doors at the back of Gold Pan City Dance studio on Anderson Drive, you’re in for a wildly entertaining evening June 15. Unseemly Evenings is hosting a Caravan Cabaret, a Night of Whimsical Delights using the entire GPCD Centre with unorthodox entrances, unexpected experiences and a lavish stage show.

Hatched from Jessie Herman’s creative mind, the gypsythemed Caravan Cabaret answers her craving for more performance art in Quesnel.

As she was searching for bands that fit with her gypsy theme, Herman discovered the Tequila Mockingbird Orchestra, a five-piece

band from Victoria.

They offer the atmosphere and sound she was looking for.

“First and foremost, I was looking for artists who haven’t sold their soul to commercialism,” she said.

Herman has also secured the Tim Sars Trio as the opening act.

“They’re an eclectic, animated gypsy jazz group,” she said.

“The theme of the evening lends itself to imaginative theatre and this certainly won’t be a traditional concert, but rather interactive theatre sport.”

Performing for two of Tequila Mockingbird Orchestra’s numbers is Bottoms Up, Barely Burlesque, a local dance troupe with lots of sass.

Goodbye ANNIE GALLANT Observer Reporter

T

his is one of those very difficult stories to write.

It’s always the reporter’s intention to remain impartial, always neutral about the people and the stories we write.

But once in a while a person or a story affects you – causing you to go beyond the boundaries.

Now that’s not to say we don’t respond to the people we interview, have feelings and reactions to their story and often find those emotions challenging our objectivity, however, I’ve had the rare privilege of becoming friends with a couple whose life and actions I truly admire and respect.

Captains Jimmy and Deb Vanderheyden are leaving for a new posting in Fort St. John The couple came to Quesnel five years ago

and thank you

to help a floundering Salvation Army ministry.

The congregation was reduced to just three regulars and many of the programs had almost derailed.

Fresh from the Salvation Army’s College for Officer Training in Winnipeg, Jim and Deb had prayed for a posting to Quesnel.

“It’s hard to prepare for a new posting, every situation is unique,” Jimmy said.

But the couple had an indication of the task ahead of them when their superior whispered at their graduation, “there’s work to do.”

They arrived in Quesnel and were gratified to find good support from the other local churches and their volunteers.

First on their to-do list was an assessment of the Salvation Army ministry in Quesnel.

“We felt the first job was to provide dignity for the people who frequented the programs and those

seeking services and support,” Deb said.

And the ministry needed organization and better space management.

As a reporter, I felt it was my job to introduce the new captains to the community.

From the moment I met Jimmy and Deb, I knew there was a change: change for the better.

Their soft-spoken manner, friendly attitude and Jimmy’s ready laugh touched me.

However, beyond that warm introduction, I quickly learned there was true commitment to growing their ministry and a sincere love for people, no matter what their needs.

“This community welcomed us and recognized change,” Jimmy said.

As they settled into Quesnel, their congregation grew, the physical presence of the Salvation Army changed and expanded

and services reached every corner of the community.

One of the services they are most proud of is the development of a small but vital program called Tiny Bites.

During the summer months volunteers prepare lunches, pack up the van and deliver to children, serving them from the back of the vehicle.

“Tiny Bites is ground zero: we go where the hungry children are,” Jimmy said.

Deb added Tiny Bites isn’t their biggest program but, “to us, it’s our best – it’s good for the heart.”

Both agreed they’ll be starting a similar program in their new posting.

The Vanderheydens learned how their service and commitment are part of a network and have come to rely on something much bigger than just one ministry in one community. They’ll be

bringing that awareness to their new posting where they will again be looking to grow a small ministry.

The Salvation Army has just purchased a motel in Fort St. John which the Vanderheydens, with community support, will be converting to a homeless shelter and transition house.

“When you see lives changed because of the Salvation Army, the success stories fuel you,” Deb said.

As Jimmy and Deb say their goodbyes, they encourage everyone to welcome the new husband and wife team, Stefan and Laura Van Schaick, who recently graduated from the College for Officer Training and Quesnel will be their first posting.

“They also prayed to be posted to Quesnel,” Deb said.

“Stefan and Laura will bring their vision for Quesnel. They have a good foundation.

“We’ve told them they’re coming to the best community in the country – loving and kind.

“We’re very blessed to have come to Quesnel.”

Jimmy added a first posting is everything rolled up together.

“It’s scary and exciting, it’s meeting new people and finding amazing support,” he said.

Deb asked to include one quote from scripture: Zephaniah 3:17 The Lord your God is with you, the Mighty Warrior who saves. He will take great delight in you; in his love he will no longer rebuke you, but will rejoice over you with singing.

When friends move on, it’s difficult to envision how that empty hole will be filled but I also look forward to interviewing the new captains and beginning a new relationship.

And good news, Stefan is also a musician.

As for his subject matter, Daniel says what he sees through the lens is what inspires him. However, he’s not done once the photograph is taken.

When inspiration strikes, Daniel then plays around in Photoshop combining two images he feels strike a compatible balance. One such photograph shows a very close up shot of an eagle with horses running through a field below.

Given a choice, Daniel says, for several reasons, he prefers a camera over a paint brush.

“With painting you wait a long time and might not like what you do,” he said.

“With a camera, especially now with digital, you see right away what you’ve got.”

He shoots with a Canon 60D and an assortment of lenses, capturing the grandeur of the landscape right down to the tini-

As a recent immigrant to Canada, Daniel Pfister was impressed with how much space, the quantity and quality of natural surroundings and how accessible it all was here in the North Cariboo.

Coming from Switzerland, he said the number of people in his country has pushed back nature.

In Quesnel now for four years, Daniel is an equipment mechanic on a farm with nature all around him.

As both a painter and a photographer, he felt compelled to capture the amazing images in his surroundings.

The June show in the Quesnel Art Gallery at the Arts and Recreation Centre is a display of his favourite photographs, reflecting his love for his adopted country and es-

Daniel enjoys experiencing Canada’s natural environment through the lens and looks forward to many more trips to the bush.

“I’m still looking forward to more bear pictures,” he said.

“There’s lots of things out there and we’ll see what we see.”

His show, sponsored

by Edgewood Farms, hangs until the end of June in the Quesnel Art Gallery, which is open Tuesday – Saturday, 10 a.m. – 4 p.m.

Seniors’ Info Day set for June 15 Often people find themselves without vital information about services they require or programs they would like to access.

Seniors’ Advocacy Service is offering workshops in some of the most requested areas of seniors’ services and programs, June 15 at the Legion with experts on hand to provide the necessary information and answer questions.

Although seniors need this information, it’s often very useful and important for families and even community service providers to also be aware of the details.

The day of free workshops begins at 9 a.m., with a workshop on wills, representation agreements and power of attorney. At 10 a.m.

Pat Morton will deliver a workshop of taxes, followed at 11 a.m. with information from Service B.C. with Mike Boreen.

After lunch, which is being offered at a small fee, workshops begin again at 1 p.m. with Carole Morrison from Prince George speaking about Canada Pension benefits, followed by Alzeheimer’s Awareness at 2 p.m., presented by Leanne Jones from the Alzehiemers Society in Prince George. The final workshop at 3 p.m. deals with medication awareness.

The public is invited to take in all the workshops, or just the ones of particular interest.

Pre-registering is recommended as no session can exceed 60 people and seats are filling.

Also available during the Seniors’ Info Day are many community providers with resources tables.

Seniors’ Advocacy Services would also like to inform the public about the work they’re doing regarding the DriveAble program recently introduced which requires people of any age, but most applicable to seniors, to pass a computer exam to maintain their drivers licence.

SAS is looking to install a practice program at their office where people can get a feel for the touch screen-style exam they could be facing.

“The exam process is often extremely stressful and couple that with the fact only exam site is in Prince George; anxiety levels could rise exponentially,” SAS’ Susan MacNeill said.

“This would offer a chance to practice, which could make the difference in a person’s success or failure. It could be as simple as building confidence and removing potential barriers.”

MacNeill will be on hand at the Seniors’ Info Day to answer questions on a variety of issues not specifically covered in the six workshops.

To reserve your spot, call 250-992-1567 or 250-747-8363.

Congratulations to our Little Brothers Curtlen and Travis and Little Sisters Reanna and Destinee for being approved to attend the Tim Hortons Camp in Kananaskis this summer. Remember to stop by Tim Hortons on June 6 for a coffee to support Camp Day. The Community InSchool and the Teen Mentoring programs will soon be wrapping up for the school year. Thanks to all the mentors who gave their time to a young

Love and Hugs I’ve been trying to figure out a way to thank everyone who came out to the fundraiser in support of me and my family, but it’s been really hard to come up with the right words to say. So to start with thank you to Jennifer and Ashley for heading up the charge of help from the rest of our team (family really) at Save On Foods. Neil for being such a caring boss, Steve for being the MC at the fundraiser, Angie, Lynette, Elaine, Rose, Marty, Cecelia, Lillian, Jenni-lee, Melanie, Mistie and Kelsey for all their work at and before the fundraiser.

Thanks also to Uncle Mom for donating their time and music, the anonymous donor who paid for the hall rental and especially to Tracey at the Cariboo Observer and Dwayne at The Wolf for their advertising of this amazing effort. To everyone else who donated items, spent time helping out or were there supporting the fundraiser….thanks to you as well. To all the people who couldn’t get tickets but donated anyways, thanks also to you.

It still blows me away how this town can give so much and still find more ways to help out those that need it. I never thought I would be on the receiving end of such an outpouring of love and generosity that we keep so secret in our community. We are a community that supports its own and I couldn’t be prouder of being born and raised here after the compassion that was extended to my family on May 4th.

One month later, the outpouring of love from friends and acquaintances still defies description. Yes I am at home and doing well, my positivity on the outcome of this battle helps me through every day and the smile on my face is because of you……I will survive this and hope to buoy others with my positive outlook on life. Again Quesnel, thank you for everything you have done for me and my family. I love you all.

June is Brain Injury Awareness Month.

The image of the brain being like a big blob of jelly encased in bone is quite graphic and indicates the importance of head protection. A damaged brain can affect one’s quality of life forever. It deserves to be protected.

If you are still a smoker, be sure you have your teeth and gums checked routinely.

It seems that smokers go to the dentist less often than non-smokers. Dental problems like jaw pain, toothaches and infected gums are found twice as often in smokers. See your dentist twice a year to keep dental problems to a minimum.

We talk a lot about keeping your blood pressure low but can it be too low? Blood pressure that’s too low can cause symptoms of blurred vision, confusion dizziness, fainting and subsequent falls. Have your blood pressure checked regularly. Home blood pressure kits are reliable and easy to use.

A good investment.

Night-time cramps can be very painful and interrupt a good night’s sleep.

Drugs can sometimes be the cause. Two groups of medications that may contribute to this problem are long-acting bronchodilator inhalers used for some lung conditions and diuretics to treat high blood pressure.

Side effects can occur with many medications. If you are concerned whether your medications might be the cause, ask our pharmacists. We can access a large amount of information on all drugs and their side effects. It’s part of our job.

Strikers’ winning weekend Top: U16 boys’ Nathan Erickson-Smith puts it past the Prince George defence; Bottom: Lauren Osip does her best to slip past a Prince George defender in the U14 girls’ second game.

Jonas Gagnon photo

JONAS GAGNON Observer Rporter Three quarters of the Denny's Strikers were victorious over the weekend opening the doors to the Provincial 'B' Cup. The U16 boys dominated the Prince George team here in Quesnel, on Sunday, May 3.

In the morning game, the Denny's Strikers were on near perfect form, dominating the game, only letting one goal sneak in, while scoring nearly at will for a 10-1 win. In the afternoon game, they played equally well, managing eight goals while the goaltender played a perfect game, not letting the ball get past him even once.

"We played really well, dictated the play and tempo and did well finishing," Coach Kam Dosanjh said, adding they played cleanly

not receiving a single yellow card.

The U16 girls also went 2 and 0 on the weekend, winning both games against 100 Mile House, in 100 Mile House, 2-1 last Sunday.

"100 Mile gave us two very good games in equally tough rainy conditions," Coach Iain Brown said.

The U14 girls had a bit of a harder time at it, playing two games to a draw against Prince George on their hometown turf on the Saturday. After two tough games that didn't fall one way or the other, the decision was forced in a penalty kick shoot out.

The teams were so evenly matched they stayed tied until the last shots were fired. Haley Schotel stopped P.G.’s 6th shooter while Katie Young stepped up

to secure the win for Quesnel.

The U14 boys were the only Quesnel team not to make provincials, losing both games against Prince George. The team, which struggled to find itself for most of the season, came together beautifully for their first game against the bigger Prince George team, ending up on top 1-0 after the first half, with a 3-1 final in favour of P.G. "They were definitely a team to reckon with in the first game.

I know we surprised Prince George," coach Judy Samiet said.

The second game didn't go so well for the Quesnel team, who lost 7-1.

The two girls teams will be going on to provincials in Kelowna, while the U16 boys will be headed to Aldergrove for their provincials.

Community coming together for a chance to celebrate sport JONAS GAGNON Observer Reporter Every sport needs a venue and every venue costs money to upgrade, maintain and build.

Kraft is offering a $25,000 prize to help alleviate all those costs, along with a visit from TSN to cover the event, to ten communities across Canada. Sharon Chow wants one of those communities to be Quesnel.

“I know if Quesnel gets behind things it’s possible. Kurt Browning (coming to town) proved that,” she said.

She’s encouraging people from Quesnel to write their stories about our community’s support of sports and upload it to the Kraft Celebration Tour Website.

There are, as of this writing, 218 communities across Canada competing for the prize, 19 of which are from B.C., includ-

ing the Quesnel submission.

With 51 backers behind Sharon Chow’s submission and a second submission for the Twin Arenas that has a couple backers, the Quesnel Twin Arena/ Multi Centre nomination has the largest amount of supporters, with most of the nominations in the single digits.

Chow hopes more will come.

“I want more than 100 (supporters) by June 8.”

And though the competition

doesn’t specify there will be a community chosen from each province, evidence from past competitions shows that there is an effort to choose communities from across Canada.

Though June 10 will be the deadline to get your support noted on the webpage, it is encouraged that you get your vote in early, as the upload can take around 48 hours if the server is busy and it may just get busy

as the procrastinators and the final push for votes may clog the system. It would be horrible to miss out simply because of server overload.

With a new Multi Centre approved and the sign proclaiming it for all to see, a win now could be just what is needed to make a space that will meet the needs of the community for years to come.

Jonas Gagnon photo

June 3 - 9, 2012

Heartbreak in the box JONAS GAGNON Observer Reporter For the first ten minutes of the Crossfire’s game against the Shooter’s Pub Devils, things were looking great.

Quesnel was up two quickly in the game. The score reflected the control the Crossfire had on the game and the fans, especially the kids with the lacrosse sticks who are there for every game, were hopeful Quesnel would see it’s first victory in the PGSLA. Half way through the first, though, things started falling apart and the Crossfire were unable to put it back together.

“They made a couple adjustments, started using the fast break and really took it to us,” Pat Gibbs, coach and captain of the Crossfire, said.

The Devils started, armed with a fast break that could find it’s way past the Crossfire’s defence men, to pull away in the later half of

the first. By the end of the period, the Crossfire had let the Devils slip away resulting in a 7-3 lead for the Devils after the first twenty minutes.

With the fast break working for the Devils, the Crossfire had to have all their scorers show themselves on the scoreboard, a need that never manifested through the second or the third.

There was hope in the third that the Devils, with a much shorter bench, would start to flag and give ground to a still-fresh Crossfire.

However, despite the short bench, the Devils never showed any signs of flagging as they continued to score twice for every point the Crossfire managed.

Despite the growing number in the losses column, Gibbs is keeping positive as he sees his team getting better throughout the season.

Now they just have to translate that progress to numbers in the winning category.

Tailings from the mill complex is directed into the tailings storage facility (TSF) and is contained in part by the East Saddle Dam (ESAD) which is an earthfill structure originally constructed in two stages between 1985 and 1986 at the easternmost end of the TSF. Seepage of water through the dam discharges to the environment via a natural wetland located adjacent to the dam and Gibraltar has been monitoring this seepage for a number of years and submitting the data to the Ministry. Although the discharge is not directly authorized in Permit PE-416, the Ministry of Environment provided authorization to bypass the works in PE-416 until August 31, 2012. Gibraltar is applying to amend PE-416 to authorize the discharge of seepage to Arbuthnot Creek.

Any person who may be adversely affected by the proposed amendment and wishes to provide relevant information may, within 30 days after the last date of posting, publishing, service or display, send written comments to the applicant, with a copy to the Regional Manager, Environmental Protection at Ste. 400 – 640 Borland Street, Williams Lake, BC, V2G 4T1.

The identity of any respondents and the contents of anything submitted in relation to this application will become part of the public record.

Dated this 27th day of May, 2012.
