Arthur Topham charged with hate crime AUTUMN MacDONALD Observer Reporter After waiting five months, Arthur Topham has now been officially charged with wilful promotion of hatred. RCMP searched and seized property of the Quesnel resident in late May of this year, after it was determined there were “reasonable grounds the offence of promotion of hatred was committed.” Crown officially moved
forward on the charge earlier this month. Since then Topham has had to comply with certain conditions, including restricted Internet access and is prohibited from maintaining his websites (including the Radical Press domain.) Crown continues to request the courts permission on further restrictions. Topham, who adamantly denies the charge, says he’s hopeful having his day in court will raise awareness

surrounding free speech and the definition of “hate crimes.” “This is not to say that I have full confidence in Canada’s judicial system but it will hopefully give me an opportunity to present the facts and the truth before a judge and jury of my peers; something that would never have happened if the case had been decided by a tribunal,” he said. “In that regard, therefore, I welcome the
opportunity to challenge these Draconian “hate” laws that have been set up to protect vested interests here in Canada.” Topham says ever since he was charged with a hate crime in 2007 he’s been forced to battle with the Canadian Rights Commission and the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal. Back in 2008 the Quesnel Cariboo Observer published a story in which Topham had received a complaint from the
Canadian Human Rights Commission stating he was promoting hatred towards Jews and citizens of Israel. Topham maintains a site, Radical Press with the tagline “Digging to the root of the issues since 1908.” Currently Topham is permitted to continue posting to his site, Crown is seeking to prohibit posting. “Of course my immediate concern is that the crown wants to assume that I

At the 2012 UBCM convention, several resolutions were presented regarding the decriminalization, as well as the taxation and regulation, of marijuana. Decriminalization is different than legalization in that it isn’t making marijuana legal nor will it be regulated by government. Decriminalization simply reduces control and penalties compared to existing laws. Full legalization would see marijuana regulated by the government, taxed and distributed with age restrictions enforced, similar to tobacco and alcohol. The resolutions at UBCM stated decriminalization of marijuana would free up judicial time and resources for more serious crimes. Resolution C4, from North Vancouver City, stated “cannabis prohibition efforts have failed to effectively limit the availability of cannabis, especially in our youth,” and “academic, law enforcement and health experts, including the Health Officers Council of BC believe that a strictly controlled public healthoriented regulatory framework for cannabis control has the potential to reduce rates of cannabis use, raise substantial tax revenue, undermine organized crime and save law enforcement times and expenditures.” UBCM also brought forth a resolution from Metchosin, resolution A5, Decriminalization of Marijuana, which states “marijuana prohibition is a failed policy which has cost millions of dollars in police, court, jail and social costs,” and “the decriminalization and
regulation of marijuana would provide tax revenues.” The resolutions committee commented that based on police information, the marijuana industry in the province is run by gangs who exchange or sell marijuana produced in B.C. to criminal gangs in the U.S. for drugs or guns. Quesnel city councillor, Mike Cave thinks these resolutions are a step in the right direction, however would like to see more done. “Decriminalization is a good first step but, personally, I would rather see full legalization and regulation,” he said. “Decriminalization, while freeing up police resources, does not take the money out of the criminal’s hands. “It is my belief it should be regulated and taxed in the same way as alcohol.” Coun. Cave also believes the regulation of marijuana would help the community by adding taxation revenue, allowing improvements to the community to move forward.
“The revenue derived from taxed sales of marijuana is instant money that could come from higher levels of government, allowing the municipality to proceed with projects we otherwise would not be able to,” he explained. “Our city has a list of projects as well as infrastructure that needs replacing, other cities throughout the province have their own issues;
we could all use that money.” Coun. Laurey-Anne Roodenburg thinks residents of Quesnel have the same feelings regarding this issue as those who voted on it at UBCM. “I have a feeling that if you were to do a poll in Quesnel, it would have the same type of results as the voting did at UBCM, very close with no clear winner,” she said. Coun. Sushil Thapar believes decriminalization is a feasible option, but the government will see the money saved in policing spent in hospitals. “We don’t have an adequate amount of police officers trained to catch over usage,” Thapar explained. “We are paying through accidents caused by people who are driving high.” Thapar also said he thinks the pros and cons need to be weighed before deciding on decriminalization. “One study done by a teacher on people who were using the drug and people who weren’t using the drug found those using it had a lower IQ,” Thapar said. “This is not something people need.” Now that the resolutions were endorsed at UBCM, Mayor Mary Sjostrom said the union is waiting for a response from Ottawa. “There was a workshop on this issue at our convention in September,” she said. “The resolutions passed and that has been forwarded to the federal government.” Sjostrom explained that while the decision is not made in Quesnel, there will be certain impacts felt in the community if the resolutions are carried. “I am sure there would be impacts on our operations such as bylaw and policing if legislation was changed,” she said. More information on the resolutions passed at UBCm can be found at http://www.ubcm.ca/ EN/main/resolutions.html.

MLA Musings Photo Ops and PR It’s always fascinating how politicians jump at the opportunity to get their photos taken when private companies make investment announcements, but they’re nowhere to be seen when those same companies announce mill closures or cancel previous investment announcements.
AUTUMN MacDONALD Observer Reporter They’re hot off the presses and the love is quickly spreading. Small Town Love’s first ever calendar is now for sale in 75 independent businesses within Q-Town. Featuring two options (both have the same community events and coupons), the brightly coloured calendars showcase scenic shots from local photographers. “Sixteen photographers are featured,” explained Small Town Love creative choreographer, Amy Quarry. Through a contest on Facebook, fans voted on their top shots; from there Quarry had the tough task of choosing the final 24. With 75 businesses highlighted, the calendar works much the same as last year’s book, with a few tweaks – the coupons featured on the back of each month are only valid for 30 days. So once January is done, you rip off the page and have February to shop for savings. But for Quarry, it’s not just about the great deals, the fantastic pictures, or the list of community events featured on every page – it’s about community connections and supporting local business. “When our kids sports teams need a sponsor, it’s small business we rely on,” she said. “These projects are based on a collaborative investment model, because I believe rising tides lift all boats.” Calendars are $10 and available at 335 Vaughn (upstairs of Community Futures.) Or check out smalltownlove.ca for a list of businesses carrying calendars. Businesses interested in partnership with Small Town’s next project are also encouraged to check out the website.

HIV is a real concern within our communities. You can contract HIV primarily through unprotected sex and by sharing needles. HIV can live in your body for years without you knowing and all the while you can be passing it to others. At least 25 per cent of people who are HIV+ do not know and these 25 per cent are estimated to be responsible for 75 per cent of new infections. Northern Health, in collaboration with its community partners, is working with the Province of BC to prevent the spread of HIV by expanding HIV testing, treatment, and support services to British Columbians.

Take the recent photo of a group of politicians (replete with hard hats and big smiles) that graced the front page of the Williams Lake Tribune when West Fraser Timber announced that they would be investing in their planer mill there. The politicians crowed that West Fraser’s announcement is proof that the forest industry in the Cariboo is facing a bright future. Where was the photo of those same politicians when Tolko announced last week that it has decided to permanently shut down its Creekside sawmill in Williams Lake? Using the political logic that private investment means a ‘bright future,’ should we interpret the Creekside closure as a sign that our forest sector is facing a ‘dismal future’? Bottom line: politicians shouldn’t be involved in the PR associated with private sector investment decisions, which are made solely on the basis of the implications for the bottom line of those companies. There are a multitude of factors that go into private sector investment decisions, but an investment announcement doesn’t mean that the investment will actually occur, or that it will lead to success for that company or for the future of that sector. Enbridge’s recent and grossly underreported announcement that it will mothball Phase 1 of its nearly-completed natural gas processing plant in the North Peace is a classic case in point. The brand new multi-million dollar facility will now sit idle, having never processed any gas, because the natural gas market has collapsed. Funny that no politicians have commented on this corporate decision and its implications for the natural gas industry in BC. Politicians should not be involved in private sector announcements, positive or negative. Having politicians involved in the PR of private corporations only adds to the public’s concern about the already tooclose relationship between corporations and government, and it simply feeds the cynicism voters have toward politicians and the political process. www.bobsimpsonmla.ca

Rotary auction slated JONAS GAGNON Observer Reporter
At the end of the month, the annual Rotary radio/TV auction hits the airwaves. This year marks the 56th anniversary for the auction, it having supported everything from hair salons for the Canadian Cancer Society in town, to a pregnancy outreach program for the Child Development Centre. Rotary is committed to the community, keeping all money raised in town. Each year Rotary receives presentations from programs and clubs that enrich community life; they then decide on a project they believe will benefit the community. With this year’s project, the Rotary has decided to kill two birds with one stone and support two local swim clubs, the Quesnel Aquatic Club and the Waveriders. “Of course the two clubs, Quesnel Aquatics Club and Waveriders Swim Club, are extremely honoured to be chosen to be the recipients of the funding for our scoreboard. This is just another example of how our community steps up to help children achieve their goals and dreams,” Angel Swyers, a parent of a swimmer in the Waveriders, said. The efficiency is courtesy of a scoreboard both swim clubs need. Not only can the local swim clubs not host meets in town because of the lack, but swimmers putting everything they have into a lap in the pool are denied the joy of looking up and finding they’ve swam a personal best or beat their expectations. “Imagine playing a game of hockey and not finding out the score until you are in the dressing room. This is what our swimmers currently experience without the scoreboard,” the swim clubs wrote in their presentation to Rotary. With $26,000 raised last year, the clubs hope the auction will put them over the top to purchase the final piece for their timing system and vault their clubs into full status. Rotary is conducting their auction during the evenings of Nov. 26, 27, and 28, 7p.m.-10:30 p.m. Auction items can be viewed at /www.quesnelrotary.com/Auction/Auction_Items.asp.

City looks at affordable housing strategies
Affordable Housing means different things to different people. To help the community better understand affordable housing, the City of Quesnel, through the ourQuesnel: Sustainability in Action process, is taking on a number of actions. First, thanks in part to funding received from the Real Estate Foundation of British Columbia, the city is developing an affordable housing strategy to identify medium and short‐term goals and actions. A special session for the public to talk about affordable housing has been set for Monday Nov. 26, from 11 a.m. – 2 p.m. at City Hall.
It will provide: • An opportunity to learn more about the different types and availability of affordable housing in our community. • A review of the city’s draft Affordable Housing Strategy. • An opportunity for local housing stakeholders to meet and discuss projects, with an eye towards creating or fostering partnerships between them. In addition to the open house, a newsletter describing various types of affordable housing and the strategy development process will arrive in people’s mailboxes in the coming days. Quesnel is developing a comprehensive, community‐

wide, long‐term sustainability vision, plan, and process through the ourQuesnel: Sustainability in Action initiative. This initiative is being led by the city of Quesnel, with participation from a wide range of stakeholders. Housing and land use was identified during this process as one of 10 key strategy areas for the community to focus on. To learn more about ourQuesnel and affordable housing, visit www. ourquesnel.com or like us at www.facebook.com/ ourquesnel. To provide your input, e‐mail ourquesnel@ quesnel.ca or call the planning department at 250‐992‐2111.
Sadly we announce the passing of Ewald (to many known as Butch) Stefan. Born in Wembley, Alberta, and living most of his life in Kersley and the Quesnel area, where he raised his 4 children and finally retiring in White Rock, BC. God called him home on November 13, 2012. Left to cherish the memories are his loving wife Marilyn, children Robert (Cherie), Ernie (Nancy), Sandy (Ron), Cindy (Todd), grandchildren Rae-ann (Forrest), Dennis, Nicholas, Kelsea, Amy (Mark), Ryan (Courtney),
Randy (Rachel), Greg (Amanda), Jessica, Haley, Lisa and Samantha, great grandchildren Saige, Alivia, Jaxon, Luke, Solara and two brothers Ed and Steve. Butch was predeceased by his Father Heinrich and Mother Olga, & his former wife Mary. He had a passion for re-building and repairing motorbikes, snowmobiles, go-carts, etc. His favorite vacation destinations were traveling through Okanagan, Banff and Jasper area. In his retirement years, he truly enjoyed the
White Rock area, walking the ocean front pier was one of his favorite past times. But most of all, he loved to laugh and reminisce about his fondest memories. We love you Dad and we thank God to have been blessed by you!

study released this month has revealed the cost the failed war on drugs is having on the British Columbia economy. A new study by a coalition of researchers from the University of British Columbia and Simon Fraser University estimates the B.C. cannabis market could provide the government with $2.5 billion in tax and licensing revenues over the next five years. “If you begin to stand back and calculate just how much potential tax revenue is instead going to fuel organized crime, it really highlights how we need to start questioning our current approach,” said Dr. Evan Wood, senior author of the study. The study is just the latest blow against those who remain committed to preserve and protect the profit margins of organized crime. The study challenges one of the primary arguments against regulating marijuana: that the market cannot be taxed. Critics had previously pointed to U.S. drug laws as a reason why B.C. shouldn’t move towards decriminalization. But when Colorado and Washington state voters approved the legalization of marijuana use, that argument went up in smoke. “When you look at the enormous potential to save on policing costs, raise government revenue and wage economic war on organized crime, you understand why U.S. states have recently taken the taxation and regulation approach,” said former B.C. premier Ujjal Dosanjh. The list of those calling for changes to marijuana laws has grown to include those from across the political spectrum. The Union of B.C. Municipalities passed a resolution earlier this year calling for the decriminalization of marijuana. Stop the Violence B.C. is a group B.C. law enforcement officials, politicians, legal experts and public health officials advocating changes to the government’s marijuana policies. It seems the only ones left still supporting the current drug laws are those who make their living in organized crime — and their unwitting allies in the provincial and federal governments.

Speaking to your fears
t coffee a couple weeks ago I told my friend that I joined Toastmasters. She laughed and said: “Wasn’t that a thing in the 80s?” I don’t know – the 80s was a bit of blur for me. But I think it’s been a “thing” for a little longer than that, and I think it still is a “thing.” Toastmasters is a nonprofit organization originally founded in 1924 to help people improve their public speaking skills. Currently there are clubs in 113 different countries with over 260,000 members. I am one of its newer members. The first time I heard about Toastmasters was when I was a child back in the 70s. My Uncle Jack was a gregarious man who loved to be the center of attention delivering award-winning speeches at Toastmaster competitions around North America. My father, a shy man who flew under the radar for the most part, was invited by my uncle to join. Reluctantly, my dad attended a meeting and immediately saw how beneficial becoming a member would be for him professionally and
Lori Welbourne
On A Brighter Note personally. The same year he joined, my quiet, unassuming father surprised us all when he emceed his big company Christmas party. I remember being in awe of him up on stage telling jokes, looking so happy and comfortable. Being insecure and shy myself, I managed to avoid public speaking completely until I joined a business group called Okanagan Business Excellence seven years ago. Every Wednesday morning I would wake up ridden with anxiety as I anticipated that dreaded moment when all eyes would be on me and I’d have to say something. I asked my dad for advice on getting rid of my nerves. “Don’t worry about trying to get rid of them,” he said. “Being nervous just means you care.” It wasn’t exactly the quick
environment truly is. Luckily that sunk in this summer and I faced my fears, became a member and am now loving the experience. Toastmasters is designed to improve skills not just in speaking, but in leadership, communication, storytelling, grammar, time management, and overall self confidence. There is no instructor and there are no lectures. Instead, members evaluate one another’s presentations, offering encouragement as well as constructive critiques called “gifts.” Even the most accomplished presenters are given gifts and welcome them because they are essential to improving. I encourage everyone, shy or gregarious, to check out a Toastmasters meeting. They are all over the world and being a member will enable you to visit other clubs whenever you wish. To find one that suits you, visit Toastmasters.org Toastmasters truly is the best and least expensive personal improvement “thing” you can imagine. It also serves coffee. And cookies too.

fix I was looking for, so I asked the chairperson of our group, a lawyer named Paul Hergott. He was as gregarious and entertaining as my Uncle Jack, so surely he would tell me what I was looking for. He didn’t. Paul claimed he could barely say his own name the first time he had to present in court and it was just a matter of facing his fear and doing it anyway, over and over again. I figured if he and my father were able to make such impressive strides in their public speaking skills, there might be hope for me yet. Four years ago I finally went to my first Toastmasters meeting. I really wanted to join, but I didn’t. Why? Because I was intimidated by the phenomenal speakers I heard that night, and I was scared I’d look and sound like a bumbling fool. I also decided that I didn’t have the time. Well, I wish I had made the time. What I didn’t realize then was that the meetings aren’t mandatory and the program is self paced. I also didn’t grasp how supportive and non-threatening the

What happened to freedom of speech? Editor: Re: Harris defends China-Canada treaty agreement, Observer Nov. 9. I must agree that Canadians need to get more involved and active; at the same time I am concerned that journalists who question the Harper government in particular are vulnerable to intimidation and being fired from their jobs. The following is copied from an article found at this web address, www. canadianawareness. org/2012/11/journalistsbeing-silenced-forcriticizing-fippa/ and illustrates the concern that this government is becoming more and more intolerant of free speech and prepared to use its

power to bully those who oppose it. The Canada-China Investment Promotion and Protection Agreement (FIPPA) has people all across this great country up in arms. Not one single person I have spoken with can agree that the way the Harper government is handling the trade deal is democratic or appropriate. Rick Mercer has done a fantastic rant about it. Now, if you do not find this whole situation disturbing enough as is, I feel we are now seeing that conservative MP’s will go as far as having good journalists fired over their personal thoughts on the agreement. On November 6, 2012
Jim Mosher published this on his blog: Sadly, there’s nothing new in the government of Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s penchant for shutting out criticism often using deplorable tactics. It’s impossible for an ordinary citizen to change this “new normal” in Canadian federal politics. However, when my MP appears to work from the same script, I must speak. Selkirk Record reporter Jill Winzoski was fired Oct. 19, the day after her paper’s owners received an e-mail from her MP, Selkirk-Interlake MP James Bezan. Winzoski is a boots-on-theground reporter. She is not a columnist or an editorialist.
(I have lived in Bezan’s riding since 1986, though he was only elected in 2006. I have worked at two newspapers here in Manitoba, though there was a four-year hiatus (1996-2000) when I was the founding and only editor of a newspaper in Kenora.) Mr. Bezan’s e-mail contained a message Winzoski had sent to him and others regarding her personal opinion about a looming investment deal between China and Canada. It’s a deal, one should note, that has been the centre of a protracted, if truncated, discussion across this country. Winzoski, to her credit, had signed an online petition, changing only
the subject line of the pre-written petition. She replaced the petition’s anaemic subject line with one of her own. She wrote, simply, that she opposes this deceptive government. Tens of thousands would agree. After Jim had posted on his blog and Facebook about Jill being fired (and what was behind the firing), Jim has now also been fired from his position with enterprisenews.ca. Is this what we have allowed Canada to become? Where a journalist who writers her MP on a personal capacity ends up being fired. Then subsequently, a colleague who speaks up
about the injustice is also fired. Is this not a clear cut example of how the main stream media in this nation is in essence controlled? This is how we have ended up with nothing but Presstitutes in our media. The real press, who are willing to voice concerns and speak up are quickly silenced. If you care about a free press or democracy, this cannot stand! I encourage all of you to write to MP James Bezan and your own MP. Let them know that this will not stand!

ast year I was involved with Big Brothers Big Sisters as a teen mentor at Ecole Baker Elementary School. One day a week I visited children to talk, socialize and have fun with them. I made many new friendships and grew personally from the experience. I learned to relate to these children by better understanding their priorities: being the most popular or best looking does not matter to kids; they just want to have fun Big Brothers/ and make a friend. Big Sisters of Quesnel Realizations such as SHARING A LITTLE MAGIC these helped me to understand children more thoroughly and better appreciate them. I feel that some of the most amazing experiences in life come out of trying something new and for me, trying to relate to someone I have never met is quite a challenge; but I found it also to be very rewarding: seeing a child’s face light up as he or she would take in something new, or playing outside and getting dirty but not caring because we were both having so much fun, these were all encounters I will never forget. Mentoring was a life-changing experience that taught me many great lessons to carry into the future. Trying to communicate was not always easy, but as time went on I could see that all that was needed was a little trust, patience and respect both from the child and me. The teen mentoring program helped me to realize my true career potential – I found that I was able to make children feel comfortable and enjoy themselves and I developed many lasting relationships. The program helped me to realize that I wanted to work with children and this September I will attend the University of British Columbia with the ultimate goal of becoming an elementary school teacher. — Teen In-School Mentor Cheryl Kwik Klean’s Coats for Kids (and Adults) was a big success.

Witnessing polar bears checked off one couple’s bucket list ANNIE GALLANT Observer Reporter
T
he polar bears of Western Hudson Bay, specifically in the community of Churchill, Man. have been drawing researchers and eco-tourists for decades, including one couple from Quesnel. Victor and Barb Chatt spent a memorable six days in Churchill recently, watching and photographing the famous white bears. “It was on our bucket list and we decided it was now or never,” Victor said. They had learned about the Churchill polar bears and an enquiry with Cariboo Travel set them up with Frontiers North Tours, a company out of Winnipeg which arranged the exotic vacation. Although still very much
in Canada, their arctic destination was already well into winter by the time they arrived. Travelling around the area was safely done with Tundra Buggies, which are oversized bus-like vehicles with a viewing platform at the back. “The buggy was about nine feet to the bottom of the windows,” Victor said. On their first day on the tundra, he said they saw about 14 polar bears and almost double that on their second day. “You were in the middle of nowhere, but knowing it was a safe environment, it was amazing to be so close to nature and these roly-poly bears,” Barb said. Polar bears have been congregating in the area for many centuries. It’s believed they evolved from brown bears that live exclusively in
southeast Alaska. Their research suggested polar bears may have split from these brown bears 250 – 300,000 years ago. However, fossils of these Arctic giants are scarce, given they live most of their active life on the winter ice flows and dead bear remains sink to the bottom. Polar bears are found throughout the Arctic circle and they travel extensively across the frozen landscape in search of their primary food source – seals. But as the ice begins to melt in the spring, polar bears seek land areas for their semi-hibernation during the relatively warmer summer months. The iconic white bears’ summer travel is extensive but as fall approaches the polar bears of western Hudson Bay make their way to the Churchill area
layers needed to sustain them through the long cold winter. This is the time tourists and researchers can view polar bears while remaining close to the amenities humans require. And both Victor and Barb said the hospitality, the food and the community were
to take advantage of the relatively early freeze up caused by the freshwater Churchill River dumping in the salt water Hudson Bay. The earlier they can move back to their seal hunting grounds the sooner they can start to recoup the critical fat

LIFESTYLES
Celebrating 70 years together
O
n Nov. 9, 2012, 110 friends and relatives gathered at the Quesnel and District Seniors Centre to help Doug and Jean Davis celebrate their 70th wedding anniversary. Having lived in the Quesnel area for the past 62 years, they got to know a number of people. Seated around tables, friends filled the hall with happy chatter. The couple were married in Duncan on Vancouver Island Nov. 9, 1942. Doug had been in the army for 13 months and transferred to the navy where he served for three months until his discharge because he was under age. Jean worked at Island Drug Store in Duncan. They moved to Port Alberni in 1946, where Doug worked at construction on the new pulp mill. Another move took them to Hope, where Doug worked on the Hope-Princeton Highway. He took out a franchise to haul and deliver freight but later sold out and went logging until July 1950, when they moved to Quesnel where his mother Eva and step-dad Frank Stevenson lived. From 1951 to 1957, Doug was salesman for Beath Motors, the local Ford dealership. He later worked for General Motors for a couple of years prior to taking up guiding. In 1957, Doug got a guiding license for Bazeko Lake at the end of the road. This was later disposed of in 1960 when they bought another

area at Batnuni Lake (previously owned by Rich Hobson and Pan Phillips) also at the end of the road for guiding and trapping. On their ranch, 132 miles NW of Quesnel, they had 200 head of cattle and 55 horses. They guided there for more than 14 years. Doug recalls doing lots of worrying while Jean was on the road in very cold weather, even though he knew she always packed warm clothing. Jean would ride with their hunting guests while Doug made preparations for new hunters returning with Jean. In 1966, they bought out the Joe Spehar property at Nazko and ran the coffee shop and store. Four years later they sold to Bill Palmer. Doug purchased a guide area near Vanderhoof. A few years later, Jean purchased about a half an acre adjacent to Doug’s but they had to use a boat to get to it. Jean
also hauled a trailer with horses but in 1971 she was finding the work too much for her and sold out to help Doug in his area with cooking and packing until he sold out in 2000. Doug recalls one time when he shot a moose and had to leave it for a short time; Jean found the animal when she went out, cut it up and packed it into camp. When Doug came back he wondered what became of the moose he dropped. They have lots of stories to tell of the back country. They are very proud of their son and daughter. Dave was born in 1942 and at 19 years he drove a truck for Chapman Freight Lines for 14 years. He then hauled
logs and later bought his own truck. He sold out to retire in 2011 and lives in Williams Lake. His son Scott (Darlene) is also doing well. Their son Jordon, 17 years old, is involved in bike racing with his dad Scott. They have taken trophies. Darlene’s interest lies in horses. Doug and Jean’s daughter Gaylene (Roar Hegge) lives in Dawson Creek with their two daughters Amber and Brandy. It was Gaylene who basically organized the anniversary event. Six year ago Jean suffered a debilitating stroke to put an end to her very active lifestyle. It also left her virtually blind but at certain times of the day she can see a little out of one eye. Music has been a big part of Doug’s life. His original band the Devil Dreamers provided music for dances for a number of years. Now for the past 10 years his ‘Golden Dreamers’ band plays regularly at Dunrovin Park Lodge, Maeford Place, Wildwood and Kersley Hall where two buses of seniors travel from Quesnel. Both in their eighties, it is evident neither of them has let grass grow under their feet. They have led a full and productive life. – submitted by Ruth Scoullar.

Kathy was born in central Switzerland in March, 1923, the last of thirteen children. Kathy grew up during the Depression, an event that shaped her adult life, and she had to grow up fast. After finishing grade 7 she was employed as a domestic on a farm where she spent the next several years. At the age of 18 Kathy received a marriage proposal from the farmer’s son, and so the family legend goes, went to see a fortune teller to get a sense of her future. The fortune teller told her she would marry later in life, have 3 sons, and be happy but not rich. So Kathy spurned the offer and started to work as a waitress, an occupation she would enjoy until she moved to Canada. As a waitress, Kathy was able to work all over Switzerland in famous resorts like St. Mortiz and Davos. It also allowed her the freedom and independence to travel and pay her own way, a development that became the backbone of her life. Kathy had a powerful sense of adventure and a strong will to do it all by herself. In 1955 Kathy met her future husband Karl through a church dating service. Karl was back from Canada where he had been working in logging camps in Quebec, Ontario and BC, and where he was intent on emigrating. Kathy was in love, up for the adventure and despite the protests of her family she arrived in Prince George in November, 1956, where she
was married in a room full of strangers three weeks later. Kathy adapted to Canada quickly though learning the language was a challenge she worked hard to overcome. Initially she spoke French to get by, and proceeded to learn English after taking one language course and then teaching herself. She proudly became a Canadian citizen in 1968. Her family started to grow and she had, what do you know!, 3 boys by 1962. The family had moved to Quesnel from Prince George by then and they lived on Willis Street until 1968. On Willis Street the family made life-long friends in Quesnel’s Canadian and Swiss communities. 1968 was a pivotal year for Kathy because that is when she started to work at the hospital as a housekeeper. She loved working at G.R. Baker, for the work itself and all the social interactions with patients and staff alike. The family soon moved to North Quesnel so Kathy could walk to work, and she remained in this neighbourhood for the rest of her life. Kathy was a very competitive person and thoroughly enjoyed playing cards and watching her sons play sports, especially hockey. She was a regular traveller on team trips and loved being a part of the successful Quesnel hockey community in the 1970’s. Her proudest moment came when her son Bruno played for Switzerland in the 1988 Calgary Olympics. Kathy reluctantly retired from work in 1987 and enjoyed a wonderful retirement travelling to Europe to watch hockey,
touring around BC and the Yukon on Greyhound, and spending time with family and grandchildren. We already miss Kathy’s self-deprecating humour and optimistic outlook, her Swiss cooking, her beautiful garden, her smiles, her laughing, her support and her advice. In the end, Kathy’s fortune teller was wrong about one prediction: Kathy had a rich life that money cannot buy. Kathy is predeceased by her husband Karl, She is survived by her grateful family. Carl (Jitka), Bruno (Cveta), Fred (Anna), and grand-children Benji, Brian, Jake and Hannah. Special and endless thanks to the care-givers in the Quesnel medical system. Kathy worked amongst you for 25 years and you took care of her like one of your own family. Words cannot express our appreciation of your dedication and professionalism.

Victor and Barb Chatt thoroughly enjoyed their polarbear watching tour in Churchill, Manitoba.
Up close with arctic giants
Victor Chatt photo
from A12 With activities planned for each of their sixday stay, the Chatts were most excited about the Tundra Buggy tours where the spacious, reinforced structures allowed them spectacular views of the mighty polar bears. The rear viewing platform was high enough to allow curious bears a chance to see the humans from below a metal screened portion of the floor and also allowed the humans to safely experience close proximity to the bears. “They would put their huge claws through the metal screen,” Victor said. “It was great for taking pictures.” He said it was forbidden to feed the bears or to entice the bears and of course no one was allowed out of the buggies except on the viewing platform. They also visited Wapusk National Park, a vast, remote sub-arctic wilderness that protects the world’s largest known denning area for polar bears and the nesting grounds of thousands of pairs of snow geese, arctic foxes, arctic hares, wolves, caribou and wolverines. When not on a local tour, the Chatts walked around Churchill to restaurants and businesses but Victor said they should have brought boot cleats as the wind was strong and cold and the sidewalks somewhat icy. The trip to Churchill was everything they hoped it would be – the landscape magnificent and forbidding, the bears majestic and the hospitality outstanding. “It’s hard to image this inhospitable, flat environment, with virtually no trees, can be so inviting,” Victor said. He added the week before they left for the trip, a black bear had visited their south Quesnel yard. “We thought of him as a nuisance and the following week we paid all kinds of money to go and look at white bears,” Victor said with a smile. Once they left Churchill, the couple travelled to Sault St. Marie to visit friends, however Barb became ill leaving the visiting to Victor. They’re home now, Barb is recovered, their luggage finally followed them home and the couple are contemplating their next trip. “We don’t know what’s next on the bucket list,” Victor said. “But this trip was well worth it.”

Thunder sounds in Salmon Arm JONAS GAGNON Observer Reporter The Bantam Thunder worked hard in Salmon Arm last weekend, before being taken out of contention by the soon-to-be tournament winners. Their 2-2 record was good enough for fourth out of 12 teams in the tournament. Their first game found the team running strong against Terrace, with a strong performance by the whole team. The Thunder won the game, 6-2, with Myles Mattila leading the charge with four goals and Keith Redden netting the other two. Goaltender Reign Turley played an impressive 60 minutes in net, giving the Thunder the foundation they needed to win. Game two had the Thunder up against the Pursuit of Excellence, which, despite the daunting name, the Thunder dominated with a 7-3 final. Brant Powell lead the scoring with two excellent goals.
The Westside Academy turned out to be a stumbling stone for the Thunder, or perhaps they created their own stumbling stone, with stellar attendance in the penalty box. The lack of on-ice players in favour of in-box players ended in a 5-0 loss for the Thunder. Their record good enough to vault them into the finals, the Thunder came up against Westside once again, though this
time with a better attendance record on ice. The game stayed close for most of the 60 minutes, with 4-3 score, Mattila with two and Marshall Brown with the other, until Westside scored two back-to-back and took the electricity out of the Thunder. The 6-3 loss was the Thunders final game in the tournament. Westside went on to beat Williams Lake in the final to take first in the tournament.

Cariboo Critters Christmas
Santa’s sleigh gets its first test run This is the second installment of the Cariboo Observer’s Cariboo Critters Christmas. Watch for the continuing story. “It all started,” said the moose, “on the pre-run testing of the sleigh…” Now everyone knows when you take a seasonal vehicle out of the garage and put it back on the road, or sky as it were, it needs a bit of a tune-up, especially if it’s several hundred years old and so complex in it’s workings that neither Santa nor the elves who made it actually know how it functions. So, for the first ride of the year, which always coincides with the first major snowfall south of the 70th parallel, the responsibility felt to Gerry, a junior elf to diagnose the problems with the mythically-complex vehicle. He took the sleigh out, knowing full well that it wouldn’t ride as fast or smooth as it does on Christmas. He chivvied together a skeleton crew of reindeer for his purposes; most wanted to stay in the stable and drink hot cocoa or eggnog. That didn’t stop him getting the four he needed. These reindeer were very excited as they were rookies, in their first year of eligibility. For all these reasons, Gerry was a little nervous. It was his first time as well. But, the skies being clear as they were at the North Pole, over which no plane ever flies (it being an international no fly zone), he was fairly confident that with the help of drivers’ aids the sleigh had been built with along with his elf training and the reindeer’s training, he would do just fine. Together with his reindeer team Gerry walked over to the garage and settled into the plush driver’s seat as the reindeers got themselves all buckled up with the help of a couple elves. These elves were in the
garage drinking coffee and discussing the positives of putting a whole new independent rear suspension on the sleigh (to give it a softer landing). The controls of the sleigh are very complex, with levers and buttons and glowing, blinking and strobing lights. Gerry knew he didn’t have to deal with the various controls because he didn’t know what they did (logic in the north pole is not well understood and, as such, is usually simply ignored.) The take-off was a bit rough, however, once into the sky the ride was smooth as light over freshly fallen snow. Gerry found himself loving the ride. The lights and whistle and bells and self-motivating levers at times started to get to him, but he didn’t let it bother him. He decided he wanted to see the sunrise or sunset it didn’t really matter to him, so set out to find a sunset. The sun, however, stayed willfully out in front. He
yelled at the reindeer to catch the sun. No dice. He tried whispering. Didn’t work. He tried pulling some buttons and twisting on levers or pushing on knobs; still the sun stayed out in front. He jotted down the lack of speed in his notebook because he was sure Santa flew a lot faster than this when he was delivering mountains of presents to boys and girls all over the world in a single night. “Hmmmm,” he said, because that’s what he heard the mechanic elves say when they were pondering automotive mysteries. “We’ll have to check on that.” That being the extent of Gerry’s knowledge, he decided to let the young reindeers have their rein and see what the sleigh could do flat out. “Have at her boys,” he said, and was glared at by one of the girl reindeers who mumbled under her breath about ‘why couldn’t anyone tell the difference between a girl and boy reindeer.’ While all the boy rein-
deers twisted their necks so light would glint off the nubs of antlers and talked loudly of how nicely their new antlers were coming in and commenting how elf must be blind not to see how manly the reindeers looked. But, after some chatter which Gerry gracefully ignored, the reindeers decided Gerry had learned his lesson. So, having this great chance to finally get behind the wheel as it were and really ‘see what this thing is capable of,’ they took to the skies with every bit of skill and power they had. Now reindeers, if you didn’t know, are herd animals and don’t need to speak to each other to all wheel in unison or suddenly do a loop-deloop. All this made Gerry as green in the face as the velvet doublet on his chest. The sleigh itself seemed to have its own mind, or read the reindeers’ minds. It never bounced or jostled as the reindeers took near 90-degree vertical turns or drop precipitous-
ly to do a kind of vertical ‘U’ turn requiring a twist to right the sleigh. Seen from roughly the same altitude as one would watch an air show from another aircraft, the sleigh stood out in relief to the plains of snow below them and weak blue sky above them. The reindeer, beautifully groomed and wearing black leather harnesses with silver bells and brass work that jingled together with the shiny candyapple red sleigh decorated with swoops, swirls and gold, cut the most striking lines across the sky and snow. Soon the reindeers grew tired as they were still pretty new to the sled. “I think I’m about ready to head in,” one of the reindeer said. Another, with chest out and head high, said, “I’m not. I could do this forever.” But Gerry could see the reindeer were tired from the puffs of breath and the way he or she (Gerry still couldn’t quite tell the difference) couldn’t quite get out the whole sentence
without pausing. He told them, “I think my work he is done. Take us home.” So they did. And on landing, Gerry once again wished for the independent rear suspension, even though he didn’t know what it was, exactly. The mechanic elves were still there, talking about overhead-reins and shaker hoods, when the sleigh pulled into the garage. They took off the reins with efficient grace and let the reindeer wander back to where their friends were playing. “It doesn’t go as fast as I thought it would,” Gerry said when his feet were on solid ground. “Excuse me?” said a mechanic. “Well,” Gerry said, now uncomfortable with all eyes looking at him inquisitively. “I thought maybe, it would be kind of possible, I mean I think Santa does it, to, you know, catch up to the sun cause I kind of wanted to see a sunset and a sunrise both at the same time.” “Hmmm,” they said. “We’ll have to check on that.” And Gerry felt proud that he had brought what seemed to be very important news. Gerry walked out of the garage to brag to his friends about his important job and when he was gone the mechanics all started talking at once. “Can’t catch up to the sun?” “Slow?” “Is the time-continum Christmas eve sun stopper night extender not working?” “Someone needs to check the aerodynamics of the thing. Its speed intensifiers could be out of whack.” “Perhaps its the buttons. PUSH THE BUTTONS!” “If it can’t catch the sun how’ll he deliver presents?” And they all set to doing everything at once. Check back in the Observer for the next installment.

Seniors speak out on QToday H
ere is another update on your favourite Shaw Channel local programming. QToday features this week, hosts Ron Campbell and Mitch Vik. Their headlines from the Cariboo Observer cover the $25,000 grant the Minister of Community, Sports and Cultural Development Bill Bennet announced for Quesnel Search and Rescue, as well as the $7,500 funding set up by Ministry of Social Development to aid those seeking skills training. This is an increase from the previous allotment of $4,000. A special session for the public to talk about affordable housing has been set for Nov. 26, 11 a.m. – 2 p.m. at City Hall, Council Chambers. Also, in School District #28 news, Cynthia Bernier and Sue Ellen Miller addressed the bullying issue.
Canadian country legend Jason McCoy will take to the stage in Quesnel Nov. 26 at the Seniors Centre. His first set will include music people know, as well as some from his newest album, The Perfect Gift. His second set will feature Christmas. North Star Baptist Church is hosting a musical fundraiser concert on Nov. 24 to support the Seniors Advocacy Service office. The concert begins at 7 p.m. Also featured by Annie is a story on the history and importance of our local Canadian Cancer Society office with star performer Anne Burgess who got involved more than 30 years ago. And, the 2012 Rotary Auction coming up Nov. 26 – 28. You can get all the detail on this great event in the auction flyer coming out in Friday’s edition of the Quesnel cariboo Observer. The Twins Rivers Band is hosting a Dance Nov. 30
at the Elks Hall. Tickets for this event can be purchased for a mere $10 and are available at Circle ‘S’ Western Wear. The dance begins at 8 p.m. Sorry, but no minors are allowed. In Forestry League hockey, Bear Communications squeaked out the win 2-1 against Fraser River GM and Serenity crushed Blue Collar 10-6. If you are a regular viewer you will know that we try to feature stories from out in the field.
This week, we speak about the United Way and its increasingly active role in Quesnel. Lori Cruddas of Prince George United Way recently brought a special event to our city. Last week you saw the first installment of a series with Dave Brown from Barkerville on the meaning of gold. This week, we bring you part 2. Dave will discuss with Bert deVink how that precious metal impacted the history of the Cariboo. Career Leap took place last week. CNC was bustling with activity last Thursday as students and residents had a chance to look into future prospects and take in keynote speaker, Canadian adventurer, photographer and author, Bruce Kirkby. Scott Elliot was ‘Around Town’ at the event and had a chance to film the Nursing Program and you can take a look at that interview.
Coming up on future QToday show, we will have Bert talking with Peter Neilsen in our “Seniors Speak Out” segment. Also, coming up will be a lively debate between Ron Campbell and Bert deVink on the legalization of marijuana. And to add to that impressive list will be a holiday concert series to show over the holidays. Christen Allen will close our show with another one of her featured performances for you to enjoy. So until we meet again in print, remember QToday is ‘Quesnel talking to Quesnel’ or as we like to say in the biz “Q talking to Q.” And for all you sports fans, a local 13-year-old motocross rider, Jackson Nickolet, recently won the points championship for Northern BC and placed second in the points championship for all of BC. And in hockey news…
the Kangaroos suffered a loss against the Williams Lake Stampeders, last weekend, losing 7-4. Then in Lac La Hache last weekend, they ended up coming back from a three goal deficit to take the win 9-8 over the Tomahawks. In Super League curling last week, The Billy Barker Casino beat JAR Transportation, 10-1. Cariboo Pulp championed Douglas Lake Equipment, by a score of 5-1. And the CDC won 7-4 over Investor’s Group. It took an extra end, but Willis Harper defeated first place A&W 7-6. And Frank’s Supermarket came from behind for a satisfying win over Karin’s Health Foods. The Observer’s Annie Gallant wrote a story called ‘Have a pet, have a plan’, about the necessity of having a plan to care for your pets if you are unable to. Sharon MacDonald is a QToday editor.

2012-13 President’s message This year, the Rotary International Theme is “Peace Through Service” Rotarians are people helping people. We want to help when we can and where we can: not because we have to, but because we want to. We are convinced that service to others promotes peace for all. We believe a peaceful world is built one person at a time, starting with ourselves and then with our youth. Remember how much fun you had as a child, playing hockey and ball, biking, skiing, skating, swimming…? Endless summer days, freezing winter mornings…great memories of games, races, and competitions won and lost. Quesnel is blessed with two very active swim clubs: the “Sealions” of Quesnel Aquatics, and Waveriders. Through hard work and determination, they have been steadily bringing the pool facilities at our Rec Centre up to competition standards. They have one major step to take, arguably the biggest – to install a time clock. Take yourself back to the Summer Olympics, when the likes of Canadian medalists Brent Hayden and Ryan Cochrane were battling away. What was the first thing every swimmer did after that final touch of the wall? They looked to the time clock! With a time clock, Quesnel becomes a venue for provincial-level competition. With a time clock, every swimmer can see how she or he is a little bit better that last time. With a time clock, we all contribute to those memories and friendships. Through the great generosity of businesses and individuals, we bring to you the 56th Rotary Radio-TV Auction. There is something in here for everyone, please give us a call during the evenings of November 26th, 27th, and 28th and place your bids for any and all of the donations made. Maybe you’ll pick up a bargain, maybe you’ll pay a buck or two over the odds…either way, you will have helped bring a vision to reality. Many thanks for your support! Keith Corbett, President 2012-13

ROTARY MEMBERSHIP Founded in Chicago in 1905 by Paul Harris and 3 associates, Rotary is now a worldwide organization of business and professional leaders that provides humanitarian service, encourages high ethical standards in all vocations, and helps build goodwill and peace in the world. Approximately 1.2 million Rotarians belong to more than 32,000 clubs in more than 200 countries and geographical areas. Quesnel itself has two clubs - the Rotary Club of Quesnel, founded in 1955, which meets at Royal Canadian Legion at 12:15 pm on Thursdays and Quesnel Sunrise 2000, which meets at Shiraoi House 7:15 am Tuesdays. Other than those original four members, membership has been and continues to be by invitation, based initially upon classification (essentially their occupation) to ensure a good cross-section of community involvement from which all viewpoints are represented. Rotary clubs are non-religious and non-political, and draws both male and female members from
every race, culture and creed. While indelibly linked with Rotary International, each Club is autonomous and determines their own service projects and fundraising events based on local needs and the interests and abilities of its members. The focus of Rotary is fellowship and service, practiced in the light of the 4-Way Test that governs one’s ethical practices: “Of the things we think, say or do: 1. Is it the TRUTH? 2. Is it FAIR to all concerned? 3. Will it build GOODWILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS? 4. Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned?” Are YOU interested in serving your community through Rotary, while enjoying the benefits of membership and fellowship? Call 2012-13 President Keith Corbett at 250-991-9297 or speak with any Rotarian.
