Oakes sworn in as minister
AUTUMN MacDONALD Observer Reporter
Cariboo North MLA Coralee Oakes has been sworn in as the new minister of community, sport and cultural development. In total 19 cabinet minister were sworn in during Premier Christy Clark’s announcement at the Vancouver Convention Centre. Appointments were: • Deputy Premier and Minister for Natural Gas Development and Minister Responsible for Housing Rich Coleman. • Finance Minister and House Leader Mike de Jong. • Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations Minister Steve Thomson. • Health Minister Terry Lake. • Aboriginal Relations and Reconciliation Minister John Rustad. • Education Minister Peter Fassbender. • Advanced Education Minister Amrik Virk. • Transportation and Infrastructure Minister and Deputy House Leader Todd Stone. • Social Development and Social Innovation
Minister Don McRae. • Technology, Innovation and Citizens’ Services Minister Andrew Wilkinson. • Children and Family Development Minister Stephanie Cadieux. • Energy and Mines Minister and Minister Responsible for Core Review Bill Bennett. • International Trade and Asia Pacific Strategy and Multiculturalism Minister Teresa Wat. • Justice Minister and Attorney General Suzanne Anton. • Jobs, Tourism, and Skills Training Minister and Minister Responsible for Labour Shirley Bond. • Environment Minister Mary Polak. • Agriculture Minister Pat Pimm. • Small Business and Tourism Minister Naomi Yamamoto. Cabinet ministers were given “mandate letters” itemizing their priorities in the new government. Among those is one to new Education Minister Peter Fassbender, instructing him to seek a 10-year agreement with B.C. teachers, whose current contract expires June 30. Clark also emphasized that the “core review” of
government programs would be a key task for all cabinet ministers. That will look for functions that don’t need to be done by government and on
reducing excessive regulation that Clark said is a natural accumulation of governments over time. Clark acknowledged that B.C.’s public
service is already one of the leanest in the country and said the latest review will not likely result in substantial job losses. With files from Tom Fletcher

Parks committee of the town council announced names this week for the recently completed parks the Town has built. The first park, adjacent to the P.G.E. at the South entrance to Quesnel, is named LeBourdais Park in memory of the late Louis LeBourdais, who represented Cariboo in the Provincial Legislature for 10 years. The second Park, at the foot of Dragon Hill, on property formerly leased by the late P.J. Lyne, Is named Alex Fraser Park for Mayor Alex V. Fraser, who first entered public life as a Village Commissioner in 1949. Mr. Fraser became Chairman of the Commission in 1951 and served in that capacity until he became Mayor of Quesnel, which office he still holds.

CRD presents financial report
The Cariboo Regional District Board of Directors received its 2012 Community and Financial Report. The document, which is available online at cariboord. bc.ca and through the CRD offices in 100 Mile House, Quesnel and Williams Lake, provides an overview of the services offered by the Regional District including 2012 accomplishments and 2013 goals, as well as the CRD’s 2012 audited Financial Statements.
Plans The CRD Board of Directors dealt with three official community plans (OCP) during its meeting on June 7. The board gave third reading to the new Williams Lake Fringe OCP and third reading, with amendments to the existing Green Lake and Interlakes OCPs. These documents will be submitted to the provincial government for review before final adoption by the CRD Board. For further information about these projects, visit the CRD website at cariboord.bc.ca.
Timber supply Rodger Stewart, Director of Resource Management with the Ministry of Forests Lands and Natural Resource Operations, provided the Cariboo Regional District with an update on the midterm timber supply. The presentation included discussion about the balancing of stewardship versus supply, as well as the environmental values and economic impacts as related to the effects of the mountain pine beetle in the Cariboo Chilcotin. He also stressed the importance of the need for a sciencebased approach to the review of land use objectives. Further information is available online at www.for.gov.bc.ca, under the mid-term
timber supply tab.
Road again The CRD Board of Directors and staff travelled to the Lac La Hache Community Hall for the first of two 2013 Board on the Road events. On Thursday, June 6, the Committee of the Whole meeting took place, followed by a community BBQ with proceeds of the event benefitting the Lac La Hache Elementary School for a trip to Drummheller, AB. Meetings continued on Friday morning with the CRD’s Regular Board meeting at 9:30 a.m.
Community Works The Cariboo Regional District Board of Directors approved approximately $18,000 of Community Works Funding (CWF) for
two projects within the region. In the north Cariboo, up to $6,000 of CWF funds were allocated to the Alex Fraser Park Society, which operates the Alex Fraser Park, to perform lighting upgrades at the park’s indoor riding arena. The upgrade will involve replacing twenty-four 400W MH high bay fixtures with energy efficient options. This overall project has a value of approximately $12,000, however, other sources of funding include the Alex Fraser Park Society and cost recovery from BC Hydro. The Alex Fraser Park is jointly owned by the Regional District and the City of Quesnel. In the south Cariboo, up to $12,000 of Community Works Funding was approved for the
Watch Lake & District Women’s Institute, which owns and operates the Watch Lake Community Hall. The funding will be used to perform a heating system upgrade and, if possible, any other related, minor services at the hall. The upgrade will include installation of a radiant tube heating system in the old section of the community hall and replacement of three ill-fitting plywood window openings with three All-Weather awning windows.

Project. The project is a collaboration of the beetle action coalitions based in the rural regions of British Columbia. Majcher identified some of the systemic challenges facing rural B.C. such as the slower rates of population growth and the decline in the natural resource sector employment. During the presentation, the best practices in rural economic revitalization were also identified, such as the need for regional collaboration and adoption of a holistic approach to rural revitalization.

Foisy takes the win
Quesnel and District Leisure Services announces the winner of the Quesnel Arts and Recreation Centre’s prize wall draw – Bonnie Foisy. Thanks to local sponsors, Bonnie has won family passes to: Northern Strike Paintball, Xat’Sull Village, Barkerville, Moose Meadows Farm and a family golf lesson provided by golf pro Kathy Gook at Richbar Golf Club. Bonnie is looking forward to taking her grandchildren to all of these local attractions. Congratulations. The prize wall has been running for a number of years at the aquatic end of the centre’s foyer and it is a large-scale scrambled puzzle including one sport and one art image.
Top spot Close to forty of the top lumber graders from across the province competed in the 45th annual BC Interior Lumber Grading Championship staged in Kamloops. Dave Munro (pictured right) of West Fraser Mills in Quesnel had the top overall mark of 95.2 per cent and was crowned B.C.’s “Champion of Champions” for 2013. After winning the senior division last year, he was competing in the very tough past champions division and has the bragging rights of the highest overall mark two years in a row. “We are extremely proud of our industry for once again supporting this very worthwhile event as it’s just the second year for us after taking five years off during the critical down turn we survived since 2007. Our numbers increased by almost 30 per cent this year and the level of energy and fierce competition was right back where it used to be,” Gary Desrosier, Quality Control Manager of the Council of Forest Industries, Co-Host of this year’s event,” said.

am pleased that the final draft of the city’s Integrated Community Sustainability Plan through ourQuesnel was presented to council on Monday night for closing analysis. It has been a long and arduous process but I believe we are ready to move forward with a sustainable future! Thank you to the Sustainability task force for their time and dedication to the design and intricacy of the project. This task force was represented by Ron Dunn – C & C Wood Products; April Goffic – Quesnel Community and Economic Development Corporation; Bernice Heinzelman – Quesnel Arts Council; Dora McMillan – Quesnel Air Quality Roundtable; Margaret Sadlon – Northern Health; Kelly Pomeroy – Ministry of Children and Family Development; Anna Rankin – Community Sustainability/ Environmental Specialist; Teri Stoneman – School District 28; Tom Weckworth – West Fraser Timber Co.

MAYOR’S MESSAGE and myself, Mayor Mary. A great team indeed. I would also like to extend a thank you to the Whistler Centre for Sustainability for their assistance throughout this process. We are truly satisfied with the work completed under this planning process and have already begun referencing the Strategy Areas identified in the ICSP in both our Annual Report and Strategic Plan. The Economic Development Corporation has also begun to align their strategic plan with the city’s sustainability plan. There is great benefit in doing this as it creates cohesion by ensuring the planning and action initiatives undertaken in the community work toward the long-term vision. Are we heading in the right direction with regard to the future of our city? The desired outcomes are where we want to be and the actions are how we are going to get there
through strategic incremental steps. I’m extremely proud of this document and the entire process. I also commend council for its endorsement of the plan which is moving our community forward in leaps and bounds. Our next steps are to engage other community groups such as business associations, neighbourhood associations, service clubs, etc. with the goal of them adopting the plan and working with us towards the vision for ourQuesnel. Actions will come from across the community and we hope to partner with various organizations to identify actions they are taking towards meeting our long term goals. As a city, we will help to promote those actions. In the next few months, I hope to cover all of the strategy areas in the report and talk about each one of them in detail. Thank you again to those community leaders and residents who continue to help us grow into such a great community! If you have a question for Mayor Mary Sjostrom, please e-mail it to us at newsroom@ quesnelobserver.com and we’ll forward it to the Mayor so she can answer it in an upcoming column.

uying something special for dad this Father’s Day and want to forego the usual tie and cologne? Consider some of these ideas – from the dad who feels at home in the kitchen to the dad who prefers to be one with nature, find the perfect gift that yours will love. The chef: Father’s Day coincides with the summer grilling season. Consider a gift of a stainless steel barbecue set. Dad will appreciate the look and feel of the tools for making the perfect summertime backyard meal for friends and family. The sports fanatic: if Pops is an avid baseball or soccer fan, give him the gift of a family sports day, with tickets to his team’s next game for an outing you can all enjoy with him. Don’t forget to treat him to some traditional stadium fare – hotdogs, popcorn and a refreshing beverage will more than make Dad happy as he cheers on his favourite players and heckles the opponents. The gadget guy: for the dad who loves tech toys, a satellite radio like the SiriusXM Lynx will provide hours of entertainment, for the car and to take onthe-go. The commute to work will be more enjoyable as he listens to his choice of sports, talk, comedy and commercial-free music or catches up on the news. Enhance the backyard barbecue party by turning up the volume for E-Street Radio, Bruce Springsteen’s 24/7 music channel or catch the latest updates on the game from ESPN without having to step away from the burgers and great weather.

golf clubs, or even a pair of snowshoes might be just the ticket for a unique gift that will and impress. Whatever you decide to give Dad this year, don’t forget
that a hug and an appreciative thanks for being “the best Dad ever” is more than enough in his eyes and one you’ll be sure to know he will love. –NC

Practice what you preach

“There is small risk a general will be regarded with contempt by those he leads, if, whatever he may have to preach, he shows himself best able to perform.”

fter campaigning on fiscal responsibility it would seem the B.C. Liberals don’t want to follow their own mandate. Cabinet orders, dated June 3, state an 18 per cent increase to the maximum salary for the premier’s chief of staff – from $195,148 to $230,000 annually. Another order provides for Clark’s new deputy chief of staff, Michele Cadario, to be paid a salary of $195,148. Not a smart move, considering the Liberals ran a campaign based on fiscal responsibility for future generations. Definitely not smart when you consider it was this government who has repeatedly told teachers, health-care providers and municipalities to make do with less. When was the last time someone in the private sector (or any sector for that matter) received a wage increase of 18 per cent? How can government tell the rest of the province: “We need to tighten our belts for the future. We need to focus on fiscal responsibility and economic recovery” when their chief of staff is making more than our children’s educators and our front-line medical professionals? They had to have known it would draw negative attention, regardless if the pay increases is from “reallocations from within, but the overall budget will be the same.” I have an idea. Put that money back into surplus, or back into the pockets of the people of this province. –Autumn MacDonald, Observer
In my opinion father knows best R
ecently I read an article online by Lamar Tyler, who wrote how he never lets his kids beat him in anything. He explained that because we’re living in the days of “everyone gets a trophy” (EGAT), it was important to him to cultivate a desire in his children to win, because rarely do we win in real life unless we try hard and put forth our maximum effort. He pointed out that the EGAT syndrome was prevalent in school, a perfect example being his son who had to re-take his high school exams multiple times until he passed. “If you knew you basically couldn’t fail, why would you study in the first place?” he asked. “Why not just take the test and see how you make out, then regroup from there?” This topic hit home for me because his approach reminded me so much of my dad’s. Ken White was still a teenager when I was born. He had no intention of becoming a father at such a young age, but when he and
Lori Welbourne
On A Brighter Note my mom were expecting me, he decided to become the best dad he could be. Unlike my generation, he didn’t read parenting books or consciously come up with philosophies on what was best for my upbringing, or that of my brother who came along a couple years later. He relied on instinct. The reason he never let me win wasn’t because he came to a particular conclusion through careful research, or an observation of societal issues, it was simply because that wouldn’t have made any sense to him. Of course he’d be able to run faster than I could, and beat me at chess, he was a grown man and I was a child.
you win,” he’d tell me when I was younger. “What’s important is that you always try your best.” As an insecure, underachieving teenager I unfortunately didn’t follow his advice enough, especially when it came to school. But things began to change after I graduated and I started working and living on my own. After that I began to live by that rule. Almost 30 years have passed since I started taking pride in my work and won my first award, but my dad’s still teaching me parenting and life lessons by encouraging me in my dreams and offering me loving, moral support whenever I need it. “Even when you’re 80 you’ll still be my little girl,” he once told me. “Provided I’m still alive.” He’d better be. I’m not giving him his trophy for “Best Dad Ever” until he turns 100. Lori Welbourne is a syndicated columnist. She can be contacted at LoriWelbourne.com

It wouldn’t have been logical for me to beat him. But he didn’t dominate or belittle, he’d just tell me to keep working at it and I’d get better. I think learning that I wasn’t the best at everything was helpful and I certainly knew that when I eventually did beat him at a board game, or anything else, I was beating him for real. Granted, I didn’t grow up in the EGAT days. In fact, I didn’t receive my first award for anything until I was 17 and became “crew person of the month” at my first job. But as ugly as my picture was, and as horrified as I felt to have it hanging in the McDonald’s lobby for an entire month (and then my parents’ living room for years on end), I was very proud I got it and I couldn’t wait to get it again. Perhaps I wouldn’t have felt so proud, or received the recognition at all, if my father hadn’t instilled a strong work ethic and honest sense of accomplishment in me. “It’s not important that

A father’s crazy love F
ather’s Day reminds me of a story about a father that Jesus once told. It’s in the Bible in Luke 15:11-32. The father’s younger son had the audacity to ask him for his entire inheritance, even before the father was dead. Then the son took off and partied it all away. Soon there was nothing left, the son was mired in poverty and he decided to return to his dad. He figured his father wouldn’t receive him back as a son but maybe he could be a hired hand or something. He was still walking toward the house when his dad saw him, ran up, gave him a big hug and Pastor Jon Wyminga then threw a Cariboo Presbyterian Church massive party for him. What was the father thinking – especially after he’d been treated like a doormat? Well, this father wasn’t concerned about that stuff. Instead, Jesus said “he was filled with compassion.” The father had an older son too. That son was so furious he refused to go anywhere near the party. He never got treated like that. Why would this good for nothing punk get the royal welcome? That’s when the father said, “My son, you are always with me, and everything I have is yours. But we had to celebrate and be glad, because this brother of yours was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.” That story makes me ask some questions – questions about God and questions about you and me. If we’re like that rebellious punk brother at the end of our rope are we prepared to take the chance and return home? Could it be that God has a massive welcome waiting for us? And if we’re like that faithful big brother will we join the party – or will we sulk in the back yard? Jon Wyminga is pastor of the Cariboo Presbyterian Church in Nazko.
Sharing the luck Katelyn Winchester, six years old and Team Princess member, was diagnosed this year with Type 1 Diabetes. At press time, Team Princess raised $5,475 for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. As the top fundraisersa amongst the teams, the Winchester family won a draw for an iPhone 5. To thank everyone who helped them reach their goal, they decided to raffle it off. In addition to the iPhone 5, the Winchester family raffled off an Apple gift card for $400. The total raised by the Prince George region is $33,000. Top left to right: Christine Winchester, left, daughter Katelyn and son Zachary draw the names of the winners. Below the sister and brother draw the name for the gift card. Cindy Freeman won the iPhone 5 and Loni Carreiro won the $400 Apple gift card. Danika Hebert photos

École Baker students enjoy Francophone experience On May 19, after 19 months of planning and fundraising, 21 Grade 6/7 students and nine parent chaperones left Quesnel for the Prince George airport. From there they flew to Ottawa, where they were met by their BrightSpark tour leader, Lindsay. For the next six days, Lindsay guided them through the Parliament and Supreme Court in Ottawa, Vieux Montreal, the Biodome, Vieux Quebec and the Beaupre Coast. The kids (and their parents!) had a great time and it was noted plusieurs fois just how good the students’ conversational French was. I had at least three francophones tell me how
impressed they were at our students’ ability to carry on a conversation in French – and they were even more excited when I told them we were from B.C. Some highlights from the trip for the students were: the Montreal Biodome, the Sugar Shack we visited outside of Quebec City, les Galaries (a big shopping mall) in Quebec City, the hike up Mont Royal, the shopping in Vieux Quebec and the Martello Tower in Quebec City. Being from a small town, I noticed the students enjoying the escalators in the airports a lot. (We don’t have any here, anywhere). It was a great trip,

Over 80 Tea a huge success
Sunday, June 16
Carnations all around
he Old Age Pensioners Organization branch 77 held their annual Over 80 Tea in the Golden Centre May 22 with about 40 seniors plus helpers. President Pat Klassen welcomed the guests. Over sandwiches and goodies there was lively conversation at each table as they attempted to catch up on news about one another. There may be a need to make an extra effort next year to contact those who may not be aware of the event or perhaps need a ride. Following sing-along music by the Campfire Singers (my fingers typed sinners) a number of seniors received one of the 21 bouquets of roses and baby’s breath, beginning with Frank McKelvie who was the oldest attending at 92 years of age and down to early 80‘s until they ran out of bouquets. Everyone received a carnation at the door as they departed.
Tom Waldon celebrates 90 years In the past I have not used the column for birthday recognitions for fear of missing someone and it is impossible to recognize all those who are willing, but Tom Waldon is a comparative newcomer. Hopefully this may help him feel he is part of this community. There is a Seniors Tea on July 1 in LeBourdais Park (register with Honey Afflick 250-9925875) and I just know Canada won’t mind if all of us share her birthday with her no matter what time of year we were born.

champions in 1948. He served in the armed forces and played with the HMCS York Navy Bulldogs that became Canadian Champions. Professionally, he played with the Toronto Argonauts in 1944 and took the Grey Cup 1945 and 1946. In 1949 Tom played with the Hamilton Tiger Football Club ORFU. The ace back fielder was known for his speed. He was the winner of the Johnny Copp Memorial Trophy in 1948. This is the highest honour that can be paid a varsity football player. Tom was judged by his team mates as the most valuable member on the team for his sportsmanship, character and playing ability. In 1946 he was one of the first footballers in Canada to wear contact lenses while performing on the football team and that is a story in itself.
Time to switch gears Many organizations are taking time off from monthly meetings for the summer, but there is plenty going on.

Lifestyles Jake’s Gift
Annie Gallant Lifestyles Editor
One-woman play draws on audience imagination and superb acting JONAS GAGNON Observer Reporter
I
t starts with a sing-a-long. To get the crowd in the mood Betsy van Halderen stepped up, leading the crowd in a chorus of WWI and WWII song, after which Julia Mackey took to the stage. Like a radio star of the WWII era, Mackey’s greatest strength is her voice, which finds its way through the cracks of disbelief and cynicism and lays the foundation of the play. Jake’s Gift, written and performed by Mackey, takes a trip with Jake, the WWII veteran and eponymous character of the play, to the beaches of Normandy for the 60th anniversary of the D-Day landings and Jake’s first time back to the beaches since he stormed them with his brothers by his side, one of whom he lost there. It’s on those beaches that Jake meets Isabelle, a precocious ten year-old local girl, whose incessant energy, endless questions and verve challenge Jake’s long-worked for cynicism. Mackey’s charisma stands in for everything from costume changes to a backdrop in the play and it picks up the slack beautifully. Smooth as a juggler or a close up magician, Mackey moves between the characters with enough speed that Isabelle successfully steps on Jake’s lines more than once. The conversation, which can jump between multiple characters in the space of a minute, has the potential to create a stutter in the one-woman play, but Mackey handles the changes beautifully, never jolting the audience from the flow of the play. The lack of visuals in the play, besides a suitcase and Mackey’s costume which doesn’t change with the characters, is amazingly unimportant, as Mackey uses the audience’s imagination as the backdrop. And perhaps it’s better that way, because most of the audience had tears obscuring their vision for at least some of the play. Though hardly a tragedy, the play
inspires laughter and tears in equal measure, at times following one with the other as old wounds meet a child with a still-wondrous view of the world. Mackey went to the 60th anniversary of D-Day and talked to the veterans that made the trip and it shows. The play has a genuine feel about it, that serves to bring home the realities of war to those who haven’t experienced it. We have so much knowledge about the war available to young people just by calling up Wikipedia, but this play shows the results of the war in a very personal way and allows the younger generation a key to understanding the fallout battles can bring, which is something Mackey has witnessed. “We’ve done this show for people from ten to 99 and I’ve been pretty amazed that the reactions have been similar across the board. Even the younger kids can sympathize with Jake and what he’s going through,” she said. The crowd backed her up on the assertion, giving her an emotional standing ovation at the close of the play. Mackey said, despite the lack of amenities a theatre brings, she prefers doing the play in legions. “It’s the best venue,” she said. “In terms of theatrically, there’s not the bells and whistles of a big theatre with a big sound system, but what we’ve learned over the last couple of years is that isn’t really important.” After the play, both Mackey and the director of the play Dirk Van Stralen mingled with the crowd as they enjoyed pie and coffee.

It is with great sadness that the family announce the passing of Gordon “Gordie” Michael Howe on April 30, 2013. Gordie was born May 28th, 1962 in Quesnel, BC to Gerry and Dee Howe. He was the baby in the family of four children. Gordie lived his entire life in Quesnel and was employed as a feller buncher operator for 30 years. He spent a memorable year travelling Australia and New Zealand. He had four children from his first marriage. Gordie met the love of his life, Pam Robertson in September 1996. They spent their time together doing what Gordie loved most, travelling during breakup and rescuing stray golf balls. He loved hockey, golfing, black jack and corvettes.

Find out what your treasures are worth I
t’s official! Yes, it is absolutely going to happen! The Cariboo Antique Appraisal Affair! Just confirmed that accredited appraiser, Ted Pappas is coming to Quesnel to help us celebrate our 50th anniversary. Now is the time for you to dig out those family heirlooms. Those same heirlooms could be worth more than their sentimental value. Bring them down to the Museum on Aug. 17 and determine their worth. Appointments can be booked for Saturday, Aug. 17. Be certain to call the Museum, 250-992-9580, to book your appointment soon. Appointments are in 15-minute intervals and PAST TIME will have a limit of three items per appointment. These will be oral appraisals that are valid for insurance purposes. For those wishing to have an estate or household appraisal, separate appointments can be secured for a personal estimate of your estate and/or antiques. While you are down there, take part in the festivities. Free admission to the Museum; tea and cake; a fashion show through the decades...60s, 70s, 80s, 90s. Besides all that, there will be door prizes and QR Code demonstrations. Take in our newest exhibit “Parade,” as we help Billy Barker Days celebrate their 40th anniversary. As we count down to our big event, we are still looking for “artifacts” from the 60’s, 70’s etc. Do you have something you would be willing to donate to the museum from that era? Yes indeed, that was 50 years ago... Drop off any memorabilia at the Museum. We would certainly appreciate any and all donations. An old 8 track? A cassette player? Clothes? Hope to see you as you “pass time” at the Museum. Perhaps the most valuable result of all education is the ability to make yourself do the things you have to do, when it ought to be done, whether you like it or not. This is the first lesson to be learned. – Thomas Henry Huxley Honey Affleck is chair of the museum commission and regular Observer columnist.

The unstoppable energy of youth JONAS GAGNON Observer Photo Correlieu's field was percolating with young athletes last Thursday as energetic youth ran, whether on the track or for the pure joy of it. Some 420 students came from 13 schools, riding a herd of buses and taking over the field with their portable shelters and boundless energy. "It was a great day for the elementary track meet," Correlieu track and field team coach, Pat Marsh said. Marsh’s team, with help from the Q.J.S. track and field team, officiated the event, keeping track of times and keeping athletes on the starting line. The senior Red Bluff team proved to be the strongest on aggregate, taking first overall with 134.5 points. Lakeview took second in the aggregate, just falling behind Red Bluff by three and a half points. Dragon Lake finished in third with 115.5 points.
A first in the sr. girls and sr. boys aggregate pushed the Red Bluff team to that first overall. Dragon Lake took second in the jr. girls aggregate, followed by Bouchie Lake in third. For the sr. boys, Lakeview took second and Carson elementary came in third. For the jr. boys it was a different story, with Carson Elementary taking over first. Baker Elementary took second in the category and Lakeview finished in third. In the jr. girls aggregate, Lakeview took first, followed by Dragon Lake in second and Red Bluff in third. Red Buff also dominated the relays, with their girls and boys teams both taking first. The Lakeview boys team finished in second and Carson Elementary’s boys finished in third. Dragon Lake took the second position in the girls category, followed by Lakeview’s girls in third.
Clockwise from top left: a Lakeview student finishes first with her hands held up high in celebration; a boys race gets off to a competitive start; an array of girls, one with her running toque on, round the corner en masse; a boy from Baker Elementary crosses the finish line with the wind blowing through his hair; a Baker Elementary girl breaks the tape to get first.

Terrible loss for Quesnel motoX racer in Kamloops Jackson Nickolet and Colton Shepherd competed this past weekend in the BCMA/Monster Energy Pro National Event in Kamloops on June 8/13. BCMA racing took place on Saturday with the Pro Nationals held on Sunday June 9th. Riders from all over Alberta and B.C. took in the event raising the bar for Nickolet and Shepherd. More than 30 rider's in the gates created a real challenge for the Quesnel riders. Depsite being taken out in a corner and run over, Nickolet managed to recover and take a respectable 13 out of the 36 riders in the jr. MX2 class and finishing sixth overall in schoolboy. Shepherd also competed against the 36 riders, finishing in 22 in jr. MX2 and eighth overall in schoolboy against
over 30 competitors in three different classes racing at once. Sunday morning brought the terrible news when we discovered Colton's 2012 Suzuki RMZ250F race bike #82 had been stolen during the early hours of the morning. For many, the day brought excitement watching the Monster Energy Pro National Motocross event, but for my family it was heart wrenching to come to grasps with the loss of our son's race bike. It's what we do, a huge family event with our motocross family, competing and supporting young racers everywhere. For any information please contact the RCMP.

Soccer winning weekend
It was a good weekend for the Quesnel girls soccer teams. Both the U13 and U15 girls won their playdowns in a couple of games each against 100 Mile in Williams Lake, carving themselves a spot in their provincials in North Vancouver early next month. The U13 girls started off the strong against 100 Mile, earning a 2-0 victory. Rachel Schotel scored the first goal late in the second half, burying a rebound from Avery Drew's shot in the back corner of the net. Shortly after, Quesnel was awarded a penalty kick, which Cassidy Giesbrecht struck perfectly into the bottom left corner. The second game ended 1-0 with Haely Pike nabbing the only goal

June 16 – 22, 2013 ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20 This is a good time to overhaul your approach to fitness, Aries. If you have been thinking about scheduling a physical or getting a gym membership, do so this week. TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, you may have a difficult time taking sides when friends ask for your help in settling a dispute. Let your friends know you prefer to stay out of the squabble. GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, you are in need of some down time, so plan a weekend jaunt or a brief vacation to relax and recharge your batteries this week. CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 It would normally be quite an effort to pull the wool over your eyes, Cancer. However, in the next few days you will be so distracted with other things that fooling you is possible. LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, take a few days to act foolish, throw caution to the wind and have a good time. If you don’t, there may not be another such opportunity anytime soon. VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, the only way to get through a bumpy week is to keep your head down and your focus intense. Concentrate on the tasks at hand, and the week will be over before you know it. LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, sometimes practicality gets in the way of your imagination. Though this can sometimes be stifling, you have to find a balance between whimsy and reality. SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22 No one can put your plan into action better than you, Scorpio.

Garnet Currie shows off his ‘rainbow’ at the Kamloops swim meet last weekend.

Waveriders meet in K-Town JONAS GAGNON Observer Reporter The Waveriders hit Kelowna last weekend swimming a spectrum of events, with one member who made a rainbow. It was the last swim meet the team would go to as a whole, with three swimmers continuing to chase medals in provincials. “I am very proud of each and every one of the swimmers, and their achievements and goals,” coach Jerritt Brink said. “Every swimmer who attends swim meets has had a continued personal best record in every swimming discipline. This is great, as it represents the entirety of the club all achieving.” Eleven swimmers made the trip to Kelowna, with Garnet Currie once again leading the club, winning a ‘rainbow of medals – one each of bronze, silver and gold. Currie took three more AAA times, which qualifies him for all free, breast, fly and individual medley events in all distances. He got his rainbow with a bronze in 100 fly, a silver in 100 free and a gold in 100 breast. He will continue to challenge himself to getting his AGN times (Age group nationals). “This young man 12, almost 13 is a great example of what can be done in the pool with good ears, good focus and a love for swimming,” Brink said. Sonny Cervienka, Natasha Hanson and Emerie Watson all aged up for the event, pitting them against a new, harder field of swimmers that they will have to grow into. Despite the new level, Cervienka and Hanson both made a provincial ‘A’ level, while Watson got a ‘AA’ time. The harder competition also encouraged them on to breaking their previous bet times in a some of their event. Luca Armstrong and Gavin Currie also contributed to their team’s success adding points for the team with top 15 finishes. Deegan, Ryley and Darby O’Hara, Seth Redman and Grace Currie all competed in the ten and under category, nabbing best times and top twenty finishes in a variety of categories. Next up for the swim club is a trip Victoria for Hanson and Watson as they compete in the ‘AA’ provincials, June 21-23. After that, it will be Currie’s turn to take on the province in the ‘AAA’, July 4-7. Brink is already looking forward to the 2013/2014 season. Registration for 2013/2014 is tentatively scheduled for Sept 10, 2013.
