Highway 97 North fatal crash The Cariboo Chilcotin Traffic Services in Quesnel have now confirmed that two people died as a result of the head on collision that occurred on Wednesday, August 28 at 3:41 p.m., reports Quesnel RCMP Cpl. Madonna Saunderson. Both fatalities were from the car. The truck driver appeared to be uninjured. A south bound car crossed the centre line into the path of a north bound chip truck. Witnesses to the crash have been interviewed and say that the car went into the path of the chip truck with no reasonable explanation. The RCMP and the BC Coroners Office continue to investigate this crash to determine the causal factors. A Collision Analyst was on scene and Highway 97 was closed in both directions in order that forensic experts could identify and document the physical evidence at the scene. The Highway was reopened shortly after midnight on Thursday, Aug. 29. The identities of the victims are not being released at this time, pending notification of next of kin. Police would like to speak to anyone who may have witnessed this crash, as well as to anyone who may have observed either of the vehicles prior to the collision. If anyone has any information they are asked to call the RCMP or Crime Stoppers.
AUTUMN MacDONALD Observer Reporter Charged with willful promotion of hatred, Arthur Topham’s Rowbotham hearing has been slated for Nov. 18. The term is used in the judicial reprocess when one cannot afford a lawyer, yet their case is serious enough that if convicted the accused could serve jail time. Topham initially applied for a Rowbotham in April after the death of his lawyer, Doug Christie. Topham’s property was searched, and some seized, in May of 2012, after it was determined there were “reasonable grounds the offence of promotion of hatred was committed.” Crown officially moved forward on the charge about five months after the search and seizure of property. Topham, who adamantly denies the charge, said back in Novemeber of 2012, he’s hopeful having his day in court will raise awareness surrounding free speech and the definition of “hate crimes.” But first he awaits the Rowbotham application hearing. “It’s unreal the amount of information they need/want,” he said. Once the Nov. 18 hearing concludes, Topham’s next court appearance is Jan. 22 for a preliminary inquiry. “I’m still hoping to have this thrown out at prelim,” Topham said. If convicted he could spend a maximum of two years in prison.

Gavin lakeshore trail officially open
Gavin Lake is the latest community in the Cariboo Chilcotin to develop a wheelchair accessible wilderness trail. It’s called the Gavin Lakeshore Trail and was built in partnership with the Cariboo Regional District (CRD); the Ministry of Community, Sport and Cultural Development; Northern Development Initiative Trust; the Cariboo Chilcotin Beetle Action Coalition; and the Gavin Lake Forest Education Society (GLFES). Ongoing management of the site will be provided by the GLFES. “The Cariboo Regional District is to be applauded for making accessible trails a priority. For people with mobility issues, providing
accessibility is more than just creating smoother pathways. It’s about opening up opportunities to participate more fully in life. It’s wonderful to see this accessible trail project come together so close to my home in B.C.,” Coralee Oakes, Minister of Community, Sport and Cultural Development, said. “Its completion represents one of approximately 14 accessible trail upgrades in the Cariboo region that we were pleased to support with a grant of $401,250 through the Community Recreation Program.” From the $401,250 Community Recreation Program grant awarded to Cariboo Regional District for the accessible trail upgrade projects, $26,500 was
dedicated to Gavin Lakeshore Trail. “I am extremely pleased that we have now completed the Gavin Lakeshore Trail,” CRD Electoral Area F Director, Joan Sorley said. “This is the next step in making the Cariboo Chilcotin one of the most attractive, wheelchairaccessible tourism destinations in the world. Projects such as the Gavin Lakeshore Trail
show what can be accomplished through regional collaboration and commitment to improving the quality of life for residents and visitors of all abilities.” The wheelchair friendly trail is approximately 365 metres long, but options to expand the trail by another 31 metres will be completed by the end of 2013. The trail consists of an accessible

Work to Become a Better Investor As we approach the end of yet another summer, many Canadians are giving thought to the last long weekend - Labour Day. A federal holiday since 1894, Labour Day celebrates the achievements of workers — people, like yourself, who work hard for their money. But to make progress toward your long-term financial goals, you need to do more than just earn money — you have to invest it wisely. And that takes work, too. Fortunately, there’s no real mystery to the types of labour in which you’ll need to engage to become a good investor. Here are a few suggestions: • Work at making investing a priority. Many people delay investing until they “have a better handle” on their finances. But these good intentions frequently go unfulfilled because there will always be something else on which to spend one’s money. To work toward your important goals, such as a comfortable retirement or a child’s education, you need to put away some money regularly. • Work to understand what’s in your portfolio. Some investors aren’t certain about what investments they own — and this uncertainty can lead to poor decision-making if it becomes necessary to make changes. So make sure you know what’s in your portfolio — and why. • Work to keep your portfolio current with your goals. Even if you know why you initially purchased certain investments and how they fit into your portfolio, you can’t put things on “autopilot.” Over time, your goals may evolve, which means you’ll need to be vigilant in working with your Edward Jones advisor to adjust your portfolio accordingly. • Work to diversify your holdings. No matter where you are in your life, you should still diversify your portfolio by owning a variety of investments — stocks, bonds, government securities and other vehicles. Consequently, you’ll need to review your portfolio regularly to ensure that it’s still properly diversified. Diversification is a strategy designed to help reduce the effects of volatility on your holdings, but keep in mind that even a diversified portfolio can’t guarantee profits or protect against loss. • Work to maintain a long-term perspective. No matter what you might hear from anyone else, there’s no “shortcut” to investment success. Many people hope they will “hit” on that one investment that will make them rich quickly — but that’s pretty much a fantasy. To help achieve your goals, you will need to invest for many years, through good markets and bad. And during those inevitable downturns, you’ll need to focus on your long-term objectives and follow a consistent investment strategy, making only those adjustments that make sense for your situation. As you can see, you’ll need to work on many aspects of investing to stay on the road toward success. But you don’t have to work alone: Investing can be complex, so you may want to get help from a financial professional — someone who knows both the investment world and your individual needs, goals and risk tolerance.

Trail now open from A4 “The development of these wheelchair accessible wilderness trails means that more people will be able to enjoy this beautiful part of our province, which will increase recreation opportunities and visitor numbers to the area.” “This is the kind of regional project that the Cariboo Chilcotin Beetle Action Coalition is excited to be a part of,” CCBAC Chair, Mayor Kerry Cook said. “It is an excellent example of what can be accomplished when you have champions willing to roll up their sleeves and get the job done, supported by partnerships that demonstrate cooperation and collaboration. Projects such as the Gavin Lake Trail improve our communities by making our countryside accessible to all and enhance the visitor experience in the Cariboo Chilcotin.” About Community Recreation Program The $30-million Community Recreation Program was developed to address the unique challenges faced by communities in the Province with respect to meeting their recreational
infrastructure needs. The program invests in local government capital projects that make communities healthier, more active places in which to live. Through the duration of the program, the B.C. government provided grants for 98 recreation projects throughout B.C. – to help fund everything from bike paths, trails, fitness facilities and walkways to playgrounds and recreation centres. About the CRD Accessible Trail Network The CRD Board passed a resolution in 2006 to work towards developing the Cariboo Chilcotin as a world leader in accessible outdoor recreation and tap into niche tourism markets for persons of low mobility. Other wheelchair accessible sites within the CRD include Tatlayoko, Kersley, Cottonwood Historic Site, 108 Mile/Sepa Lakes, Lac La Hache and the Horsefly Salmon Spawning Trails. There are currently 12 other accessible wilderness trails being developed by the CRD, some of which were funded through the Community Recreation Program.

OPINIONS
Inevitable backlash
he Ministry of Community, Sport and Cultural Development is considering banning anonymous contributions in municipal elections. The B.C. government is considering reforms to legislation that governs our every-third-year local elections. Details are expected in a white paper next month. With local politics in some B.C. cities starting to emulate Vancouver’s party system and third-party campaigning, the time has come for voters to know who the would-be kingmakers are. Minister Coralee Oakes indicates that new legislation will require third-party advertisers to register and disclose their identity. Time allowed for consultation will delay campaign spending limits for candidates, organizations and thirdparty advertisers until the 2017 civic elections, but those changes are expected too. Oakes, who said she expects improved transparency and accountability, calls the reforms the greatest modernization of local government election legislation in nearly 20 years. Changes would affect voting for municipal councils, school boards, regional districts and Islands Trust. Although the response from the NDP local government Opposition critic is typically critical, the president of the Union of B.C. Municipalities is pleased by the proposals. That’s no surprise considering the UBCM has been recommending local election reform. The Comox Valley, for instance, is not close to Vancouver-style civic politics in which the NPA, Vision, COPE and the Green Party collectively spent $5.2 million in the 2011 elections. Vancouver’s major municipal parties spent more than $15 for each vote they got. In the Comox Valley, though, the shadowy Common Sense group changed the face of municipal elections in 2011 by endorsing candidates and pounding home the issue of local government spending. In 2014, we should know who they are as well as the people who form the inevitable left-wing backlash. –Observer

Pixelated pair goes global L
ast week I posted a video on YouTube entitled “Can I go topless here?” That video was first reported on locally, then provincially, nationally and internationally until it finally went viral on the internet. In my wildest dreams, I never imagined that would happen to me. For the last four and a half years I’ve been writing this column and I’ve produced about 200 videos for the internet. As I recall, none of them even cracked 1,000 hits on YouTube. So, when my buddy Bruce Davis, a head honcho at Pattison Broadcast, recently advised me on promoting my new talk radio show with this: “You just need a video to go viral,” I thought to myself, “Yeah, like that’s ever going to happen.” First of all, I hadn’t done a video in over a year and I really had no intention of doing another one for a good long while. But when I confirmed the timing of a phone interview with Mayor Walter Gray and found out that his assistant assumed I was coming with my camera guy, I thought maybe I should.

On A Brighter Note Part of me really didn’t want to though. It’s not that I don’t like doing videos – I do. I love them. It’s like storytelling, but with a more expensive pen. The problem was, I couldn’t afford that pen, and given my track record, my prior investment with that had never paid off. Lucky for me, this one did. Big time. Who knew all I needed to do was sit across from the Mayor of Kelowna with a pixilated bare chest to get the attention of the media all over the world? Heck, if I’d known that, I would have done it four years ago. Of course, I’m quite glad that I didn’t. These years of being a struggling artist just trying to get my work in front of as many eyes as possible have been an amazing learning experience and
and have as much invested as I do. I doubt I could have had the perseverance without their support and that of the friends, family and fans that have been so wonderful along the way. I realize not everyone shares my view that a woman should be able to exercise her constitutional right to bare her chest anywhere a man can bare his without cruel judgment. And I also understand there are millions of people who believe a decay of society would happen as a result. I do not. Australia and many countries in Europe where chests are just chests regardless of gender, age or physical esthetics have proved the exact opposite. I believe North America is headed in that direction and it’s nothing to fear. Thank you for believing in that too, Walter Gray. And thank you for believing in me.

an emotional roller coaster. I gave up a respectable well-paying job to dedicate myself to a vision and I had no idea if I’d ever be able to make a living at it. I still don’t know for sure, but I suspect a few extra doors might open for me now. This last week has been surreal and I’ll share two moments in particular that I will never forget. One was the night I was on the computer in the middle of the night, many of my Facebook friends still up with me, posting YouTube numbers and telling me whenever they noticed another news site running with my story. I was in tears several times with the overwhelming feeling of support from people who have been encouraging me for years. The second was when the hits surpassed the first million on day five. I broke down in tears the way a longtime singer/songwriter might after hearing their first hit on the radio. My husband and children were camping as this was unfolding, texting me their excitement and glee. They’ve been by my side through this whole journey

First things first Editor: Re: Arthur Topham’s letter to the editor, published Wednesday August 23rd One form of tyranny is not superior to another. Bringing back the oppression of traditional Christianity is not to be lauded just because it has overthrown the regime of Communism. Christ expressed no opinion on homosexuality. But he did say to love your neighbour as yourself, and to remove the plank from your own eye before picking the speck out of your brother’s. Homosexuality is not a ‘non-traditional life-style.’ It’s a tradition that goes back to the Old Testament, if you want to be pedantic. So, no. Russia cannot be left off the hook because they have traded one form of oppression for another. But neither can we. Let’s look at our track record for bringing criminals to justice for their crimes against humanity towards First Nations people. Then we can worry about Russia later. Christine Kinnie Quesnel

Five tips to spark the joy of reading Reading is a gift – it takes you on a journey, opens your eyes, poses questions and exposes you to new thoughts and ideas. With the following tips, you can encourage your child to develop a love of reading and make it an enjoyable experience: • Daily reading time with your child is a great way to motivate him or her to read more and is sure to become a favourite pastime. • Learn a new word in an encyclopedia, or have your child flip to a random page and select a word with his or her finger. They can then study the word and learn the spelling and meaning behind it. • Audio books, learning songs and trivia challenges help build comprehension, skills and vocabulary. With more than 150 books and activities,
the LeapReader (by LeapFrog) is a complete learn to read and write solution for kids ranging in age from 4 to 8 years. • A journal is a great way to bolster your child’s creativity and enhance reading
and writing skills. Even a short daily journal entry will do the trick. • Organize a book club amongst your children’s friends. Host a get-together once a month, where they can discuss the latest book they are
reading. These five tips will not only make reading more fun for your child, it will also become an experience that you and your child will treasure for years to come. www.newscanada. com.

Guard your child from eye damage Did you know that the average North American child spends from one to three hours per day with his or her eyes on a computer screen? The startling increase of nearsightedness (myopia) in children worldwide may be a direct consequence of this activity, pediatric eye doctors say. “In fact, children using computers before their visual systems are fully developed are at the very heart of the public health problem called ‘computer vision syndrome’,” says Bijan Minbashion, vice president of operations for Hakim Optical, a national leader
in retail eye care. “A study at the University of California reports that 25 per cent to 30 per cent of computer-using children need corrective eyewear to work with the equipment comfortably and safely – and similar studies in Asia report that firstgraders with myopia has increased from 12.1 per cent to 20.4 per cent since 1995. In the last three years, myopia is reported to have doubled to 34 per cent in seven- to nine-year olds.” To guard against early damage to your child’s eyes, consider these Hakim Optical tips: • Schedule a comprehensive eye exam

Seniors’ Walk will take place at the Quesnel Youth Soccer facility in the Fall. On Seniors’ Day, the following will be available to seniors: • free health screening (testing for cholesterol, blood pressure and blood sugar levels) • seniors can collect their free Quesnel Walks Passport so individuals can monitor their progress Seniors are valued customers at the Quesnel Farmers’ Market. Observer file photo • the Lions Club of Quesnel will be serving a healthy breakfast of organic sausages, whole wheat pancakes and fresh fruit ($5 towards the Lions’ Seniors’ Housing project) • the chance to win Seniors’ Day Bucks that can be spent at the Quesnel Farmers’ Market on healthy, nutritious produce • Information booths will be in place to showcase the services that are available to seniors in Quesnel. The event is sponsored by the Healthier Communities Committee of Quesnel, co-chaired by Mayor Mary Sjostrom and Margaret Sadlon, Health Services Administrator for Quesnel. This project is funded by Northern Health. This year, the committee has chosen to focus on the health and well being of the seniors in Quesnel. “I’m proud of our partnership with Northern Health and our collaboration with local and provincial organizations in the formation of Quesnel’s Seniors’ initiative. Sept. 7, Seniors’ Day, will be an excellent opportunity for our seniors to become aware of and utilize the many resources available to them,” Mayor Sjostrom said. Sadlon added funding information. “This will be an enjoyable event showcasing the valuable services available to seniors in Quesnel, especially the Seniors’ Walk program. Northern Health has been pleased to provide a one-time grant of $20,000 to the Quesnel Healthier Communities Committee and it is wonderful to see this money being used this year to benefit the seniors in Quesnel,” she said. The City of Quesnel is sponsoring a special bus for this event. Volunteers are also helping with transport through Better at Home for those living outside of the Quesnel transit area. People living in the Quesnel transit area should contact Quesnel Transit for details at 250-992-1109. People outside of the Quesnel transit area should contact Better at Home at 250-992-9156.

Bear’s Paw welcomes Seanna-Lee Wood Last show of summer series sets cabaret stage
Seanna-Lee Wood returns to the Bear’s Paw Cafe, in Wells, on Friday, Sept. 6, 7:30 p.m. with her show My Life is Very Glamorous. It is possible to have a successful singing career in Canada without anybody really knowing who you are. From fabulous backstage stories in the big musicals, like Phantom of the Opera, to tales of adrenalin addiction and wonderfully moving songs, come spend a jolly evening with Seana-Lee Wood in
My Life is Very Glamorous. Learn secret wench tales, nun jokes and why you should always travel with a rubber chicken. “Seanna-Lee mixes so much class and musical perfectionism with a complete irreverance for what she does,” Bear’s Paw Cafe partner Cheryl Macarthy said. “The result is a captivated and engaged audience, where we all feel like we’re at this incredible performance of cabaret and
show tunes, but we also feel like we’re all swapping raucous stories at a dinner party. That’s entertainment.” After touring for years in Hal Prince’s “Show Boat” with the likes of Cloris Leachman and Ned Beatty and performing in Andrew Lloyd Webber’s “Phantom of the Opera”, Seana-Lee splits her time between musical theatre gigs across Canada and sailing the high seas, performing comedy on cruise ships all around the world.
Her concert at the Bear’s Paw, with special guest, Graeme Thompson, will be the last of their summer music series for 2013. The Bear’s Paw is renowned as one of the best cafes in Northern B.C. for it’s food and atmosphere, but on this night for dessert they’re serving up a slice of insanity. For dinner reservations, call Dave Jorgenson or Cheryl Macarthy at Bear’s Paw Café 1-866-994-2345. dinner@thebearspaw.ca.
A large family gathering and an even larger group of friends gathered this week to honour C.D.Hoy, pioneer merchant, on his 80th birthday. In 1902 Mr. Hoy left his native Canton to join his friend Dick Woo who had written him of the fortunes that were being made in the goldfields of Barkerville. Mr. Hoy arrived in Victoria in the Summer of 1902. Mr. Hoy started his career in Quesnel doing household chores. He soon found better paying jobs in Fort St. James, and then on the railway construction to Prince Rupert. After that job finished he came back to Quesnel. In 1909 he went home to Canton and in 1910 he married, returning to Canada. Mr. Hoy claims he struck a little gold at Barkerville, but not in the ground. It was in a photographic studio he established there, taking pictures of the gold town inhabitants and visitors. In 1913 he returned to Quesnel and bought the property on which his store stood for many years. Many of his pictures are on display at the museum. ”This Column is to highlight our 50th Anniversary

B.C. NEWS
Oil spill response gap no surprise to Polak JEFF NAGEL Black Press Environment Minister Mary Polak says advice she got from staff in June on the inadequacy of B.C.’s oil spill response capability largely underscored what the government had already disclosed a year ago. She was responding to the Freedom of Information release of her ministerial briefing book, which warned the environment ministry isn’t adequately staffed to meet existing oil spill risks, let alone those from proposed new export pipelines. “Even a moderatesized spill would overwhelm the province’s ability to respond and could result in a significant liability for government,” the document said. On land, it noted, an hour-long spill from Enbridge’s proposed Northern Gateway project could spill 21,000 barrels of diluted bitumen into the B.C. wilderness. Polak said in an interview little of the information came as a surprise. The province last summer released a series of reports that bluntly spelled out B.C.’s deficiencies to backstop its demand – issued at the same time – that any new heavy oil pipeline meet five key conditions, including world-leading marine and land spill protections. Although her briefing book said spill safeguard requirements imposed on industry in both Washington State and Alaska are “far in excess of what is required in B.C.” the 2012 documents went into considerably more detail. “That’s the entire basis for the work we have undertaken,” Polak said. “What I saw in the briefing notes just added to the urgency of conducting that work. It reminds you that while industry con-
tinues to develop and our economy grows, we have not over time kept pace with the changes.” Proposals to improve both marine and land spill responses are in the works for release later this year or early 2014. The land response initiative aims to improve prevention and cleanup measures not just for pipelines, but also for hauling petroleum by train or tanker truck. Marine rules also must improve safety not just for oil tankers but less obvious sources of potential spills, Polak said, such as large cargo ships that carry as much bunker fuel oil as a small tanker.
NDP environment critic Spencer Chandra Herbert accused the province of stacking its oil spill advisory committee with industry representatives and said that’s unlikely to lead to world-leading spill prevention policies. “The government is allowing the oil industry to dominate the discussion, when a major spill would devastate not only our environment but other key industries like fishing and tourism, whose interests should be represented at the table,” he said. Polak said more sectors will be consulted, but added it’s reasonable to work closely with the industry at the outset to evalu-
ate its operations and capabilities. A land spill response corporation or cooperative funded by industry, similar to the one charged with cleanup of marine spills, is one potential option. Petroleum movers want to be involved, she added. “They recognize it’s part of the social licence they need to have in place to operate in this province,” Polak said. Asked about the federal government’s decision to relocate its Vancouver oil spill response office to Quebec, Polak said it’s too soon to say what the impact may be. “It’s a concern whenever you have
Obituary Tribute
Taylor Christina Santos June 23, 1999 ~ August 18, 2013 Taylor Christina Santos passed away peacefully in the arms of her mother and father on Sunday, Aug. 18, 2013 at 8 p.m. at BC Children’s Hospital. Taylor was born on June 23, 1999 at GR Baker Memorial Hospital but was rushed to BC Children hospital the following day. Taylor proved what a fighter she was over the next couple of months and continued to prove it over the next 14 years. She endured five open heart surgeries with the first one only days old and fighting many other surgeries and medical issues. Taylor was angel who proved to everyone she could overcome anything. No matter what this brave young girl had to endure, she always had a smile on her face that touched the hearts of many. Taylor was a happy girl that loved her
family and friends. She never let anything get her down. Even though Taylor was only with us for a very short 14 years, she taught many what was important in life – happiness, fun, forgiveness, understanding but most of all to love one another unconditionally. Taylor will be missed by many but no one will miss her more than her mother, father and siblings. Taylor is survived by her parents Jose and Sophia Santos, siblings, Troy, Dylan, Jordan and Jose Santos Jr., Linda Doherty and Roland Doherty, nephew Karter Doherty, grandparents Tony and Susan Aluisi, Maria Santos, great grandma Evelyn Jones, many aunts, uncles, greataunts, great uncles, cousins and friends. Taylor was greeted in heaven by her grand-
parents Sandra Aluisi and Manuel Santos, great grandparents Perry Jones, Julius and Christina Aluisi and Uncle Paulo Santos. You’re forever in our hearts baby girl, and we will love you forever and miss you always. Taylor was cremated. A Celebration of Life was held Aug. 28 at North Cariboo Christian School where she was a student.
change,” she said, but added B.C. may seek a different spill response coordination system. “We believe we’ve seen progress,” Polak
said of shifts in Ottawa’s approach to oil spill risks. “We’ve moved from a place where there wasn’t a fullsome recognition on the
part of the feds of our needs here on the west coast to the point where they appear to be interested in collaborating with us on this.”
Andrew Fitzpatrick Motherwell September 15, 1927 ~ August 7, 2013
Andrew Fitzpatrick Motherwell of Quesnel, BC passed away peacefully on August 7, 2013 after a brief illness. Andy was born on September 15, 1927 in Killam, Alberta – the 2nd of four boys born to Andrew Thomson Motherwell and Mary Wylie Fitzpatrick. The family moved to Cobble Hill on Vancouver Island when Andy was still a boy. Andy never tired of learning and was always looking for something to do. There was the formal education, Bachelor of Science in Agriculture in 1947 from UBC, the Log Scaling license and Lumber Grading Certificate in 1953, his Teaching Certificate from UBC in 1959, his Master of Education Administration in 1967 from UBC, and finally he earned his Real Estate Agent license in 1983.
capacity for the next 15 years. Some of his accomplishments included starting the conversation regarding mutual aide between the various volunteer fire departments, advocating and succeeding in obtaining Crown Land on which to build a community center and Fire Hall at 10 Mile, just to name a few.
Andy came to Quesnel in 1952 at the age of 25 intending to stay one winter. He’d found employment as a logging truck driver for Joe Garner. The various aspects of the logging industry got his attention and he was hooked. He became a sawmill foreman in 1953, a log buyer in 1954 and then owned and operated Little Zipper sawmills recently publishing a book on those formative years in Quesnel.
Andy was passionate about the environment and history. His “Historical Footnotes” were a popular feature in this newspaper. He travelled the length of the Fraser River and most of its tributaries exploring, canoeing, hunting and following historical routes such as the Giscome Portage, the Mackenzie Grease Trail, the Telegraph Trail, the Claymine Trail and the Bowron Chain. He had so many stories and adventures that never made it into print.
From there he moved into the education arena teaching agriculture from 19541957. Many will remember him as the principal of Cariboo secondary school from 1965 to 1979. When the school burnt down, Andy was relocated to Quesnel junior secondary as their viceprincipal. Teaching had lost its appeal, though, and he resigned in June of 1981 setting his sights on the real estate industry. He’d had a bit of a taste of community development with his stint as a Director with the Cariboo Regional District from 1975 to 1981 and Andy was always one to explore the possibilities.
In the end, regardless of what Andy spent the day doing for the community, he always went home to his beloved farm – 75 acres on the Blackwater Road. Andy is survived by his wife Carol, his daughter Lark (son-in-law Richard Wittig), his older brother John Motherwell of Victoria, BC, three step-sons: Douglas (Melody), Kevin, and Jimmy (Katie) Skiba, and six grandchildren. If you wish to donate to a cause Andy was passionate about, please consider donating to the Friends of the Museum specifically for the “new building fund”; or to the The Quesnel & District Hospice Palliative Care Association.
He sold real estate from 1981 until 1992 jumping in with both feet in 1983 by becoming a Real Estate Owner/Partner with Prism Realty. But the draw of serving his community was never far from his mind and in 1990 he became Director for Area B yet again and served in that
The family will be hosting “A visit with Andy” on Sunday, September 8 from 1-4 pm at the Bouchie Lake Hall. Please bring your memories to share with family and friends.

Lost heirloom trying to make its way home Most people don't try to recycle their memories, which leads employees at Staples to believe the box of pictures found in their printer toner recycling can was a mistake. "This isn't something you just throw away," Judy Anderson, the Staples employee who found the box of pictures said. The staff hope to reunite the keepsakes with the family they came from. The pictures were kept in an old toner box, which leads Anderson and her fellow coworkers to believe it was thrown away by accident after someone cleaned out their attic, or the attic of someone who recently passed away.The box includes Valentines cards, recipes, family photos and letters. The letters date back to the eighties, while the family photos date back much further than that, with a few photos preceding colour photography. The manager of the store, Ian Reynolds, is keeping the box in a safe to keep them secure for the family.

Jonas Gagnon Sports Reporter
Quesnel talent on the world’s stage JONAS GAGNON Observer Reporter Some people are willing to go to great lengths to pursue their dreams. Those lengths have brought Tim Traber thousands of kilometres from Quesnel where he first laced up his skates, to Switzerland where he is playing this season. It’s his next step after the Victoria Royals in his efforts to make it to the very top. “I came over here to fully evolve my skills,” he said. “You don’t really get the skill development in the WHL. I want to complete my game, so coming over was the right move for me.” Traber, at 6’2” and 200 lbs, is a big presence on the WHL rink, allowing him to muscle his way through traffic, which is why his stint with HC Fribourg-Gottéron, in the Swiss A League, will stretch him and push his skill set. “There’s almost no contact, which was a big eye opener,” he said. The bigger ice surface and lack of contact pushes players to be faster and smarter with the puck, Traber said. Traber hopes this different way of playing, along with the help of his coach and teammates, will push him to the next level over the course of his stint with the team. Traber plans to stay with the team for a few years before returning and hopefully making the jump to the National Hockey League.
BCRA
Celebrating the coming autumn riding on horseback Smithers proclaimed the beginning of autumn last weekend with its fall fair and riders were on hand at the accompanying rodeo to witness the change of season. Taylor Cherry was the only Gold Pan resident to capture a first in Smithers, doing so in junior barrel racing. Kamloops natives Brett Wills, in second, and Lane Wills, in third, were right on her tail. Continuing with the juniors, Dustin Speirs and Clay Waterhouse, both of Quesnel, each scored 74 in junior steer riding, putting them in a tie for second/
third. Houston's Kyle Bell finished first. Jared Marshall of Prince George took first in bareback, with Quesnel's Steve Hohmann right behind in second. Christoph Mwigg of Hazelton took third. Hohmann also took second in saddle bronc, being just edged out of first by Kaila Mussell of Chilliwack. Mussell also took third. Hohmann finished out his weekend taking third in steer wrestling. Cole Scott of Kamloops took first, while Jackson Scott, also of Kamloops, took second. The Knutsford/150 Mile team of Aron
Palmer and Myles King took first in team roping, followed by Ralph Meyers of Williams Lake and Dustin Spiers of Quesnel in second. Delmar and Josh Seimens of Vanderhoof rounded out the top three. Virgil Poffenroth of Riske Creek ran away with first in tie down roping. In lades barrel racing, Sarah Gerard of Savona took first by five one thousandths of a second.

September 1 - 7, 2013 ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, no matter how hard you work, you just cannot seem to get ahead this week. Instead of tiring yourself unnecessarily, take a break and regroup. TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, although you have many questions, the answers will not come so easily to you in the next few days. Bide your time for a revelation. GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 It will be really difficult to put you in a bad mood this week, Gemini. Your energy and cheer will be a bright light to those around you, so enjoy the next few days. CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, you may want to be friends with everyone, but you may have to accept that you have a few people who just do not meld with your interests. Hang out with those who do. LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 Exercise can do more than just keep you physically fit, Leo. It also can help boost your mood when you need a pick-me-up, which could be the case in the near future. VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, each time you think the grass will be greener somewhere else, you quickly learn it is not the case. Learn to appreciate what you have, and you will be glad for having done so. LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, generosity will endear you to others, but you have to be generous for the right reasons. It’s not a good idea to build friendships on false pretenses. SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, avoid taking on any more projects for the time being. Although you excel in tackling things, even the best of us need a rest from time to time. SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, you will have to buckle down and get some things done at work, even if you are a little under the weather. Take things nice and easy once your work is done. CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, devoting time to a spouse or children is of the utmost importance this week, while other matters will have to wait. Enjoy this opportunity to spend time with your loved ones. AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, a hectic schedule is compromising your ability to stay focused on the tasks at hand. You may need some help sorting some things out. PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20 There are enough diversions around to take your mind off of your problems, Pisces. They may not disappear, but you can address some issues later. FAMOUS BIRTHDAYS SEPTEMBER 1 - Zendaya Coleman, Actress (17) SEPTEMBER 2 - Keanu Reeves, Actor (49) SEPTEMBER 3 - Jennie Finch, Athlete (33) SEPTEMBER 4 - Wes Bentley, Actor (35) SEPTEMBER 5 - Michael Keaton, Actor (62) SEPTEMBER 6 - Swoosie Kurtz, Actress (69) SEPTEMBER 7 - Oliver Hudson, Actor (37)

If Only
Taking other peoples stuff just isn’t fair, The police pointed this out much to his despair. When they let me out, had to try it again, Time after time with the outcome the same. Winter in the lock-up summer on the street, Couldn’t steal enough to pay my keep. I needed advice from the wisest guys I knew, Found them in the pub quaffing back brew. Get out of town and find a job, When I heard this I started to sob. A high riggers job would be perfect for you, Once the blocks are hung they have little to do. To the loggers hiring hall I went, Had no choice down to my last cent. They gave me a ticket on a union boat, It dropped me off on a gyppos float. A collection of dilapidated shacks, Strung out along the railroad tracks. A ride on the engine into the bush, At a new landing found the camp push. Elaine Couldwell I told him a high rigger is what I should be, He grinned and took a long look at me. I know an old lady.... That’s when I looked up at the tree, It was the tallest tree I ever did see. I know an old lady who swallowed a fly, perhaps she’ll die. The guylines were all strung, I know an old lady who swallowed a cat, and that is that. The main and haulback blocks were hung. I know an old lady who swallowed a rat, after the cat. Just climb up to the lowest guy, Her husband saw her swallow a horse, then there was a divorce. That lowest guy was awfully high. I know an old lady who swallowed a dog, within the fog. I chickened out, it was not meant to be, I know an old lady who swallowed a bear, that was not fair. The lowest guy was way too high for me. I know an old lady who swallowed a moose, then ate a goose. A chockermans job will suit you fine, I know an old lady who swallowed my hen, from my pen. I’ll start you off pulling straw line. I know an old lady who swallowed a cow, give it back now! You have to get that line up the side hill, I heard the old lady ate 9 little critters, that gave me the jitters! It ain’t no job for a scissorbill. There’s nothing to it it’s a cinch, Ryder Anderson, age 12 Pull like you’re getting ten dollars and inch. When the mainline haulback and jewellery are strung, Big Blue Disc That’s when the chockermen start to have fun. Wrap a log with the chocker wire, put the knob in the bell, Back in the day when the world was flat, Then to get out of the bite you run like hell. People sailed away, some never came back. You will learn to love the incessant West Coast rain, They sailed off the edge into the black abyss, Not to mention the godawful steep terrain. When they didn’t come back they were sorely missed. In winter rain, snow and sleet, Blackflies and mosquitoes in the summer heat. Then the world went round, people sail to this day, I served two years less a day, Some come back, others stay the same. Pulled the pin and collected the pay. They sail off the edge into the black abyss, Booze, drugs and being an unskilled thief, When they don’t come back, they are sorely missed. Life has not been kind, just filled with grief. I am still here in the big smoke, It should be perfectly clear for all to see, Half high, half drunk and almost broke. The worlds not round, it’s a conspiracy. I often wonder what I would be, Like men on the moon, it just can’t be, If only I had climbed that tree. A Starbucks would be there to serve you and me. Oh dear God in Heaven, I’m happy as can be Since I’ve taken in the Savior and kept Him close to me He guides me with His power, and makes my days so bright For I accept His wisdom as I talk to Him each night He helps me make decisions as I try to do what’s best He can only guide me, I’ll have to do the rest Thank God that I wake up to start another day Praying keeps me joyous as I go along my way My heart is ever light and my mind is ever clear As I go about my duties and hold Him oh so dear He goes with me on walks underneath a sky of blue The world is bright, the air is fresh, the wind is blowing through Life is very beautiful, I’m glad to be alive For we have things in common, as we talk and plan to meet In His lovely Kingdom of life that’s ever sweet Life is really wonderful, I’m glad to just be here My soul is also happy to have the Lord so near I’m glad that life is real and isn’t just a dream For I’m happy having contact with the Lord and it would seem That life upon this earth would really become bored If it wasn’t for me praying and taking in the Lord

C2 www.quesnelobserver.com I have been working very closely with Quesnel’s Multi-Centre committee so that the moment a funding program, which fits the Multi-Centre, becomes available I will be the first in line with Quesnel’s request. In the meantime I’m doing everything possible to encourage the Finance Minister to include funding in the 2014 budget for projects like our Multi-Centre. I have also discussed with the Multi-Centre committee some new strategies I intend to use this fall when Parliament reconvenes. As your MP I’m working to bring the Federal Government in as a funding partner for the Multi-Centre project. – Dick Harris, MP Cariboo-Prince George I am proud of the many volunteers and businesses who have stepped up to make the North Cariboo Multi-Centre project a reality. Our government has contributed four million dollars to this project. We recognize that healthy, active residents lead to vibrant communities. We have also invested record amounts of funding in art and cultural programs in British Columbia. In order to see this project happen in the North Cariboo, the community has just a little bit more work to do. We are very close to the goal post and I know that when our community gets behind projects like we did with Hospice and the CAT scan, we get things done. – Coralee Oakes, MLA Cariboo North This project started as a community vision and effort and that has been extremely important throughout the entire planning and fundraising process, which has now been underway for close to ten years. The many groups, individuals and corporate donors that have stepped forward to be a part of the project deserve a huge amount of recognition. The passion of these volunteers is the reason we’ve come this far and raised the funding support we have. At the end of the day, the project is about planning for our future. The community vision of a state-of-the-art recreation and arts and culture facility is a key component for quality of life and economic opportunities for all north Cariboo residents.” – Ted Armstrong, CRD director I am extremely proud of the endless volunteer work of the MultiCentre Fundraising Committee and commend them on the results. I believe in the project and the closer we get to our goal, the more it affirms to me the Multi-Centre slogan, “We have the heart, We need a home” rings true. Thank you to all of the business and residents in the North Cariboo for their continued generous contributions. This is about our entire community and together we will make it happen. –Mayor of Quesnel Mary Sjostrom

YOU WANTED TO KNOW As we enter the final push to make our Multi-Centre a reality, we are just $5.3 million away. A small amount in light of what we have already secured. We can do this. Whether you live inside or outside the city limits, the Multi-Centre will be your home for community arts and arena sports. It takes everyone to build a strong and healthy community. No donation is too small or too big to get the job done. Banks, hotels, lumber mills, gas stations, doctors, lawyers, unions, hospitals, schools, teachers, small and big businesses, ice users, theatre groups, food stores and you at home can make The more arts and culture in a community, the healthier the community. Statistics even suggest crime rates are reduced in communities with vibrant arts scenes. Our community has many talented actors, dancers, musicians and other performing artists and we need a home to showcase these gifts. Over the years, Quesnel has faced many challenges in staging quality performances. Several performing arts groups have refused to come to our community because we lack adequate performing facilities. With the investment of a theatre arts centre in the Multi-Centre complex, Quesnel can expect to attract creative economic growth as other communities have proven. Jobs are created, tourists will have another reason to remain in
the difference. The mood in this community has changed. With the new Can Do attitude this can be done. The MultiCentre committee continues to solicit financial assistance from the federal government and other revenue streams but we need every citizen to commit to raising the last $5.3 million. We have a heart, we need a home. I would like to take a moment to thank everyone who has given and been so kind to this remarkable project. – Carol Pitkin, fundraising chair the community longer and it will provide youth with another area in which to be involved. Simply, our community needs and deserves a theatre arts space. I would like to sincerely thank all the corporations, businesses, community organizations and especially the individuals who have purchased rooms or seats in the theatre. Your response has been greatly appreciated and we are thrilled that the theatre seats are almost sold out. There are several rooms left to sell but perhaps the biggest requirement is sponsoring the name for the theatre, it could be you or your company’s legacy. Help us make the North Cariboo Multi-Centre a reality. – Bernice Heinzelman, MultiCentre chair
What is the Multi-Centre? The Multi-Centre will be a multi-purpose event centre which includes a 1,600-seat arena, 450-seat performing arts theatre and associated multi-use space. The arena will feature an NHL-sized ice surface with a climate-controlled spectator area. The theatre will be designed to provide a quality performing arts experience by taking into consideration acoustics, lighting and sight lines and providing the necessary facilities and auxiliary spaces required in a professional theatre. In addition, the facility will include supplemental multi-use assembly space for banquets, meetings, trade shows and similar events. The facility will be constructed as a Woodfirst facility, with a substantial and meaningful use of wood as both an architectural and structural element, and will be designed as a state-of-theart facility that capitalizes on innovative energy efficient technologies.
Where will the MC be located? The Multi-Centre will be located downtown adjacent to the existing Twin Arenas and Curling Rink. The precise footprint of the building will be determined when the successful DesignBuild proposal is selected. The downtown location in proximity to the current arena was selected because it will provide operational and staffing efficiencies, create enhanced event hosting opportunities and provide economic benefits to the downtown area.
How much will the MC cost? The project budget is $30 million. Cost estimates for the project were reviewed in 2013 and despite modest increases in construction costs since the referendum passed, the $30 million budget was determined to still be valid today. Options to reduce the scope of work to reduce the budget were explored in 2013 but it was determined that the scope reductions required to reduce the budget by 10 per cent or more were too severe and were rejected. The City and CRD remain committed to securing the $30 million required.
Are there drawings that show what the MC will look like? No. There are schematic drawings but no design drawings at this time that show what the Multi-Centre will look like. This is because the Multi-Centre will be built using a construction method called Design-Build.
What is Design-Build? When a building is constructed using DesignBuild, instead of hiring an architect to design the building first and then getting bids to construct that design, the owner asks for bids from Design-Build teams who are required to design and build the facility for a fixed price, based on the owner’s specific requirements.
Why was Design Build chosen for the MC Project? Design-Build was chosen because it is considered more efficient, can result in lower construction costs and provides greater cost certainty. Many projects go over budget if tenders are higher than expected when a project is put out to bid. This is not the case in Design-Build projects because the companies bidding on the project must design and build the facility for a fixed price that is set by the owner. When will there be drawings that
The Collins Family’s commitment to hockey and the MultiCentre in Quesnel is an inspiration to the entire community. The family has sponsored a wall in the new Multi-Centre to honour the History of Hockey in Quesnel. The Multi-Centre Committee would like to express their deep appreciation for all the Collins Family has done for this project.
showing what MC will look like? The detailed design of the facility will not occur until later in process after the project is confirmed to proceed. While we do not have exact drawings of what the building will look like at this time, we do know what components will be included in the building. It is up to the Design Build teams though to determine the way best design the building to include all of these requirements. The City and CRD will then select the best design.

In Total 1,079 Seats Have Been Sold It was my intention to recognize every individual, family, in memorium and group who purchased a Multi-Centre seat in both the arena and theatre. However, due to our concerns about protecting individuals privacy, we cannot list them. I would like to take this opportunity to offer my heartfelt thanks to those who purchased each and every seat. Your support is amazing. Carol Pitkin, Multi-Centre fundraiser
