Act reviewed The Cariboo Regional District will be submitting comments and feedback on the draft legislative proposal for a new Water Sustainability Act (WSA) which was recently circulated to all local governments in the province.

In April of 2010, the board considered the Water Act Modernization discussion paper, Living Water Smart (LWS) and provided comments and suggestions to the Ministry of Environment. Based on the feedback from the CRD and other local governments the revised draft legislation has made improvements in seven key areas.

1) Protect stream health and aquatic environments.

2) Consider water in land use decisions.

3) Regulate and protect groundwater.

4) Regulate water use during times of scarcity.

5) Improve security, water use efficiency and conservation.

6) Measure and report largescale water use.

7) Provide for a range of governance approaches.

Shy and non-aggressive, not deadly BCES welcomes new pet, Charlotte the black widow spider

Charlotte the black widow spider isn’t the femme-fatal this species has become known as, they actually pose little threat to humans.

ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

of the Quesnel and District Hospice Palliative Care Association will be held on Thursday November 14, 2013 at 7:00 p.m. in the Upper Board Room of G.R. Baker Memorial Hospital.

All members are invited to attend.

New members welcome Membership fees are $5.00 annually.

Baker Creek Enhancement Society’s Nature Centre is introducing their newest addition.

“Charlotte” the large female black widow spider was donated to the Nature Centre by Heather Nugent’s biology class at Correlieu secondary school. Although the black widow spider has a bad reputation as being a vicious femme fatale, in reality they are very shy and non-aggressive with humans.

Part of the female’s bad rap stems from the fact that she sometimes mistakes her breeding partner for food – giving a whole new meaning to “dinner date.” If you see a black widow spider don’t touch it; the female’s venom is 15 times more poisonous than that of a rattlesnake!

But the amount of venom a spider

injects is usually not fatal to healthy humans.

The black widow spider is found in B.C.’s warmer areas such as Kamloops and the Okanagan. How do you know if you see one? Adult females are black with a red hourglass marking on their abdomen and sometimes back. Males are usually about half the body size of the females, but have longer legs.

The Nature Centre has chosen to keep “Charlotte” to educate people about black widows and encourage them to respect wildlife.

“This spider was taken from her habitat, put into a glass jar and brought from the Okanagan to the

Cariboo,” nature centre manager Erin Robinson said.

“Not only is this risky behaviour for the people who did it, it’s a crumby deal for the spider. We strongly encourage people to leave all wildlife where they find it – in the wild.”

Would you like to meet Charlotte?

If so, contact Erin at bces@telus.net or call 250-992-5833. The Nature Centre staff aren’t always inside.

They’re often outside participating in one of the many projects Baker Creek Enhancement Society is involved in. They love visitors - if the door is unlocked, please come in. If the door is locked it means they’re out working on stewardship projects in the community!

Lions Club poster winners move on to district competition

Quesnel Lions club is pleased to announce two local winners in this year’s International Peace Poster contest. Megan Zappone’s (Riverview School )poster and Autumn Brown’s (Voyageur School) poster have been chosen to advance to the Lions District competition.

The theme of this year’s competition is “Our World, Our Future.” The competition is sponsored each year by Lions Clubs International to emphasize the importance of world peace to young people everywhere. Each poster was judged by a panel of judges from a school.

The winning posters from local competitions progress through district and multiple district competitions. If selected at the multiple district level, the poster will be judged in the international competition. Last year, more than 450,000 entries were submitted worldwide in all of the competitions.

Needless to say, Quesnel Lions Club members are cheering for Megan and Autumn’s posters as they advance in the competition.

The grand prize winner receives a cash award of $5,000 U.S. plus a trip for the winner and two family members to a special award ceremony. Prizes of $500 US will go to 23 Merit Award winners.

Past international award winners can be viewed at www.lionsclubs.org.

Since 1917, Lions clubs have aided the blind and visually impaired and made a strong commitment to community service and serving youth throughout the world. Quesnel Lions Club has served the residents of Quesnel since 1949.

CAPSULE COMMENTS With Kim B.Sc. (Pharm)

Sometimes making one small change in a dietary habit can make a big difference in your weight. It is estimated that drinking one can of a sugar-containing soft drink per day can put on about 14 pounds (6.75 kg) in a year. This is a good place to start. Add in a brisk walk every day. That will help also.

Doctors put many of their heart patients on a “Low dose” A.S.A. daily. The term “low dose” seems to indicate that it’s a small dose and can’t cause any problems. However, even at that low dose, it can cause an increased risk of gastrointestinal bleeding.

Call your doctor if you notice any of the following: bright red blood in vomit; vomit that looks like coffee grounds, black stools or blood in stools.

The limits for alcohol intake is lower for women than men for three main reasons.

Women have less water in their bodies to help dilute the alcohol in the blood. Their bodies have a higher fat content thus alcohol is absorbed more slowly. Women have lower levels of an enzyme needed to metabolize alcohol.

The most common sexually transmitted disease in Canada is HPV (Human Papillomavirus). Approximately 3 out of 4 sexually active Canadians will be infected with HPV at some time in their lives. HPV is associated with cervical cancer. There is a vaccine available for males and females aged 9 and up. It is a very effective vaccine. Look into protecting your children.

We have all the information about the vaccines available to prevent HPV. We’d be happy to talk to you about it.

OPINIONS

Speech fails grade

P

rime Minister Stephen Harper prorogued the 41st sitting of parliament to allow the Conservative government time to reset its priorities.

The need to reset, Harper claimed, was because his government had successfully met most of the goals established in the previous speech from the throne.

The last parliamentary sessions included the passing of two omnibus bills amending more than 50 laws such as the former Navigable Waters Act and pushing the pension threshold for Old Age Security to 67 from 65 years of age. How these two amendments make Canada a better place to live is a mystery.

Given the Conservative government had a month to reset their priorities, Canadians could be forgiven if they had high expectations regarding announcements addressing unemployment, health care, education and senate reform.

How disappointing then to listen to the throne speech last week indicating Harper and Minister of Finance Jim Flaherty decided to nickel and dime their way into the next election.

Forcing cable companies to offer individual channels and wireless companies to cap roaming charges will not put more Canadians to work, will not improve health care, or education, or anything for that matter.

Harper and Flaherty are sticking to their job training program, a program they gave to the provinces then decided to take back.

Meanwhile, 7.2 per cent of Canadians are unemployed. In 2000 that number was six per cent.

Maybe with the new EU trade pact they can head over to Europe to find employment.

Untangling oil pipeline politics R

eaction was swift and scattered after the “framework agreement” on new oil pipelines announced last week by B.C. Premier Christy Clark and Alberta Premier Alison Redford.

First, here’s what it doesn’t mean.

“B.C. blinked,” according to one Toronto commentator, based on the popular notion that B.C. gave up its claim to a share of Alberta’s resource royalties from heavy oil.

Clark never made such a claim, so it would be difficult to give it up.

Her often-repeated condition of a “fair share” of revenues from any new oil pipelines is purposely vague, but after repeated protests from Alberta, Clark clarified as far back as last June that provincial royalties are not on the table. There is no constitutional way to make such a demand, a point Redford has made several times.

NDP leader Adrian Dix and the usual chorus of professional protesters claimed that Clark flipflopped, opposing the Enbridge Northern Gateway proposal before the election and then embracing it once

Tom Fletcher

B.C. Views she was re-elected.

This is also inaccurate.

Clark’s five conditions were set out before the May election, demanding approval by a federal environmental review, “world-leading” spill prevention and response capability on land and at sea, meeting legal requirements to consult and share benefits with aboriginal communities and the undefined “fair share” for B.C. Clark said numerous times during the campaign that the conditions have not been met and made pessimistic noises about Northern Gateway, but she very carefully did not campaign against it. The B.C. Liberal platform also endorsed a Kitimat-area oil refinery proposed by this newspaper’s owner and Clark repeatedly referred to that sort of industrial

Alberta to B.C. It talks about developing Canada’s energy reserves and at the same time somehow reducing greenhouse gas emissions and promises a final version next spring.

Oh, and Quebec refuses to participate.

Ottawa has sole jurisdiction over interprovincial projects such as Northern Gateway and the proposal by Kinder Morgan Canada to expand the 60-year-old Trans Mountain pipeline to Burnaby and refineries in Washington.

If there is to be some extra revenue for B.C. from oil traffic, it could theoretically take the form of a toll on pipelines. Redford pointed out the problem with that idea in her speech to an energy forum in Vancouver last week. She noted that 42 per cent of B.C. natural gas is piped through Alberta to markets. If B.C. can toll Alberta oil, the same could be done with B.C. gas.

None of B.C.’s five conditions has yet been met.

Legally, they don’t have to be, except for the one about accommodating aboriginal title.

expansion as one of the potential “fair share” components for B.C. The B.C. Liberal government made its opposition to Northern Gateway “as currently proposed” official on May 31, two weeks after the election, in its final submission to the federal review panel. If Clark had wanted to jump on the anti-pipeline bandwagon for political gain, that move could have been made earlier.

NDP environment critic Spencer Chandra Herbert said the B.C. government has taken the position that more oil will reach the West Coast, by rail if not by pipeline. I’m not sure if or when that claim was made, but it’s true that rail shipments are already permitted.

Here’s what Redford and Clark agreed on.

Redford accepts B.C.’s five conditions, provincial royalties excluded and Clark endorsed Redford’s proposed “Canadian Energy Strategy,” which B.C. rejected last year.

A draft of the strategy released last summer contains no specifics on how it would facilitate a pipeline project from

Please think about what you did Editor: This is directed to the southbound logging truck driver who made a left hand turn at the northernmost light off Hwy 97 Oct. 24 in the early afternoon, when we, in the northbound centre lane going through on the green light were only 50 feet from you.

Needless to say we could not stop in our Dodge Diesel 3500 (nor would any other vehicle been able to). You either did not see us at all or were

Letters to the Editor

so determined to make that light and get your load to the mill that you did not even slow down in the southbound left turn lane. My 69-year-old husband’s 50 year class 1 driving skills and our wonderful handling truck and ABS are what saved us from your blatant disregard for anyone else on the road.

Do you think that just because you are driving a loaded triple bunk logging truck that everyone should get out of your

way? We could not.

My husband drove through the hole between the pickup waiting in the left turn lane (who witnessed everything) into the oncoming lane where thankfully there was no oncoming traffic and steered around your trailers back into our own northbound lane. I, in the passenger seat was looking at your load of Pine right in my face.

There was only an inch or two between us and your load. If our side

mirror had been extended your trailer would have ripped it off; that close. I looked back when we got back in our own lane and you had stopped after you went around the corner as I suppose (hope) you realized what a huge error in judgement you made and how different this story would have been except for my husband’s wonderful driving skills and our well maintained Dodge Laramie. Our black skid marks are still on the road as we saw

them on our return trip on Friday.

He decided that there was not much point in turning around and chasing you down so continued on our way, in shock for sure.

I have no idea how long you have had your Class 1 and been driving logging truck. I sincerely hope that you realize how different this could have been except for my husband’s driving skills and split second reaction.

Our truck would have

been totalled, I, for sure would have been killed and possibly my husband too. You would have been responsible for the deaths of two innocent travellers just because you could not wait to make your turn and get your load to the mill a few minutes earlier. I hope you read this or someone brings this to your attention and you think about what you nearly did.

Tony’s transformation from how he came to Crooked Leg Ranch (inset, far right) to how he was just prior to adoption by his forever home (main photo) was nothing short of miraculous.

Grooming and clipping just the beginning

T

ony is a cocker spaniel who passed through the ranch on his way to a new forever home.

Originally bred for hunting, spaniels need an active life with a challenge. But Tony was acquired to be a companion dog for an elderly lady. He was able to give her love but being housebound was a very tough situation for him. His hair and nails grew quickly and the twice yearly grooming was not enough to keep him well.

Eventually, Tony was in dire condition and his owner chose to surrender him to the Crooked Leg Ranch. By that stage,

he looked like a sheep dog and his nails had curled under far enough to pierce his paws. He could barely walk.

First they shaved him and his matted fur came off like a pelt. Then they trimmed his nails to find that his paws were raw and infected. A trip to the vet determined that the infection had progressed to Tony’s liver so he was a very

sick dog.

Tony stayed with the girls as he went through treatment and they cleaned his paws daily and kept his nails welltrimmed. Soon, he had more energy and was better able to move about.

When he was ready for adoption, Tony was transferred to the Vancouver Animal Control centre where they could continue his medical care and find a great home.

In short time, he was adopted by a wonderful family!

Two seniors and

their extended family have pledged to dote on Tony, exploring the many parks and sharing his love of nature. He even has a vet who is a spaniel owner herself!

Bonus!

Tony’s lesson is for owners to choose a dog best suited to their situation and be ready to give the level of care needed.

If not active, spaniels require nail care every 6 – 8 weeks and frequent grooming to prevent mats.

Welcome to her world Nancy Tellman Clouston has spent the last seven years finally writing what’s been inside her for years.

Annie Gallant photo

Local author draws inspiration from the beauty and life around her ANNIE GALLANT Observer Reporter

S

even years ago Nancy Tellman Clouston began to transcribe all the thoughts that had been locked in her inherently lazy self (her description.)

She recently published her first piece of fiction, based on factual evidence called The Destiny of Love which she will be selling, along with her other books and Christmas cards series at, the Christmas Farmers’ Markets, Nov. 30, Dec. 7 and 14 at the Arts and Recreation Centre.

“Writing has always been in me all my life,” she said.

“My first book was prompted by the birth of my first great grandson.

I knew he wouldn’t want for anything materially but our legacy of life in

the Cariboo was a gift I could give to Evyn.”

So she wrote A little Red Calf named Sweet Pea – an endearing book about one of the many calves born on her family cattle ranch.

Reticent to use her real name, Nancy was fairly certain no one would want to read her work so she contrived an honest nom de plume, a pseudonym she continues to write under.

At 81 years of age, she has mastered the art of creating on the computer.

“Its part of my lazy persona, no wasted paper or pens,” she said with a smile.

That first book was mainly for her great grandson, family and friends but it opened the flood gates for a wealth of literary work. With the help of her whole family, and especially one in

the publishing business, Nancy was launched as an author and poet.

Being mother to eight children, grandmother to eight and great grandmother to ten as well as a partner in a fully operational cattle ranch, there has never been a shortage of creative fodder.

Sweet Pea was followed closely by Elizabeth which is the story of a cow who considered herself Queen of the Barn.

This book was also intended for family and friends, however both books found their way into the North Cariboo Growers Co-op, a fitting location to market such reading material, although the newly constructed Co-op doesn’t carry such material.

Nancy wasn’t content to just write books though.

She also has a passion for

Once you read the unexpected bonuses

of this journey was the discovery of relatives I never knew about. We’ve stayed in touch.”

The book begins with one of Nancy’s poems and several others are found throughout.

If all goes as planned, she will also have ready for the Christmas season, a coffee table book containing 60 images and 20 poems specific to the images.

Nancy has five new barnyard books finished and waiting to be published.

Nancy confessed she has an endless supply of ideas and expects she will spend a good amount of her future developing many of these stories.

As you wander through the market, take the time to stop by Nancy’s table, browse through her work and meet this fascinating local author.

The newspaper has been referred to as the school teacher of the masses, but if you cannot read, the lessons within its pages are locked up tight. If you are reading this, you’re part of the class. Remember, for a person who cannot read, these words aren’t worth the paper they’re printed on.

Obituary Tribute

Richard (Dick) McElroy November 5, 2013

It is with great sadness we announce the passing of our beloved Dad Richard (Dick) McElroy.

He passed on Nov. 5, 2013 with family by his side.

Dad was predeceased by his daughter Kathy and granddaughter Sarah.

Survived by his loving wife of 65 years Grace and seven children; Nancy, Steve (Michelle), Ruth, Joe (Helen), Kris, Mary (Dale), Kelly, 13 grandchildren, 17 great grand children and also his life-long friend Mel McDonald.

Dad wore many hats during his lifetime. He sailed the B.C. coast as a marine engineer for many years and later drove transport trucks before moving to Quesnel in 1981.

He enjoyed the farm life,

It was a bit of tableturning for story-teller Corky Williams Wednesday at the book-signing of Sage Birchwater’s Corky Williams: Cowboy Poet of the Cariboo Chilcotin when Corky’s old friend Don “Woody” Woodward stopped by looking for a visit with his old comrade. Woody is a resident of West Quesnel and he made his way to the bookstore via the bridge in his electric scooter. He is one of the most colourful characters in the Blackwater/AnahimLake/ Nazko area so it was quite a reunion. Woody agreed to sign his photo in the book for one lucky customer. Left: author, poet and storyteller Corky Williams and right: Don “Woody” Woodward.

The family would like to thank special friend Sylvia. Dad was her Mr. Fix-it for many years and she would always send along a pie or two which he always looked forward to devouring.

Memphis in 1,320 feet JONAS GAGNON Observer Reporter Let’s start with the math: 1,320 feet, 10.07 seconds, .000 reaction, 131 mph and third place in the international competition. Despite the serious numbers, the math doesn’t add up to the experience Andy Closkey had running the quarter mile in Memphis at the IHRA Tournament of Champions.

“The only thing that would have felt better was to win the whole thing.” Closkey said.

“To go and be there at that level, when you consider everyone else had to do the same thing to get there, with one person coming from each of those divisions, when you beat them it’s like beating hundreds and hundreds of other people.

Its a tremendous feeling.”

I can’t even imagine what it would feel like getting to the final round or winning it. I was in the car doing a pretty big cheer when the light would come on.”

The trip came at the end of a successful racing season for Closkey, the mechanics teacher at Correlieu.

There was a month, however, between his season and the time he sat back down in his car, staring down the strip and listening to the lumpy idle of his V8.

But all the nerves Top: Closkey get’s the front wheels off and the month the tarmac; below: Closkey and his of inactivity was supporters gather around the car. forgotten when he got Contributed photos back in the car. decided to sure everything “It was good,” Closkey said. put off the ...when you beat them it’s was perfect “I probably knew this, but races until again. once I’m in the car and the seat the next day. like beating hundreds and The next day belt’s on and I’m in the whole He did get qualifying began, hundreds of other people. process – doing the burn out one pull in with racers and staging – it’s just another It’s a tremendous feeling qualifying based on the day, day at the office.

Closkey came out of rhythm, running 10.07 seconds turning green in less than onethe qualifying round in fourth. down the quarter mile nearly thousandth of a second.

And it rained and rained. Then, making sure everything was In the second round, Closkey just to be contrary, it rained perfect on the car just to make edged out Ray Wade, playing some more. It rained until they catch up for a bit longer than he had hoped.

“I caught him just a little bit later than I wanted to and stayed ahead of him for the win,” Closkey said.

With those wins under his belt, Closkey was one of four drivers left in the tournament.

“I actually started thinking at the point, looking at who was left ‘I can do this,’” he said.

But Closkey’s next opponent would be his most difficult.

Closkey knew Pollard was going to be difficult, but in the end, it was every person’s greatest enemy that took down Closkey – his own self.

“I was concerned about him.

I put too much emphasis on

who I was racing, which was probably my undoing.” Closkey said.

“I was too concerned and didn’t focus enough on what I needed to do in terms of starting. I was late with my reaction time and that was the difference.”

Closkey lost by .0023 of a second, putting him out of contention.

Pollard would go on to win his next race, the finals, to finish first overall. That put his competitor in the final in second, while Closkey dropped to third.

Coming so close to being world champion this year, as soon as Closkey got out of the car all his supporters who followed him down came up to him, saying ‘don’t worry, you’ll get them next year.’

Closkey however, wasn’t so sure.

“The planning, the doing, the racing and the stress, all of that stuff, I was exhausted at the end. So right away I said no, I’m not doing this again. I can’t do it,” he said.

But what looks like an insurmountable climb from an exhausted state of mind begins to look a little easier as time goes by.

“As you rest up and you think about it and you get fired up again, it makes you want to go again and have another kick at it. And not make that mistake again,” he said.

Best of the west and the worst of the weather JONAS GAGNON Observer Reporter Correlieu and QJS runners faced the best runners of the province and the worst weather of the season at the cross-country provincials in Langley at the beginning of the month.

Both coaches, Pat Marsh from Correlieu and Scott Trueman from QJS, were happy with their team’s performance at the tournament.

“They did awesome, exceeded all expectations,” Trueman said.

“They left nothing on the course.”

Olivia Baptise was a standout runner for QJS, finishing 16 in her 223-runner field.

The QJS girls team finished right in the middle of the 12 teams, which Truman was happy with.

Cole Dinsdale was the standout runner for the Correlieu team, finishing

50th in the field of 243 runners.

Marsh said her runners all performed to the best of their abilities, with many of them beating opponents they hadn’t beat before.

But most importantly to the two coaches, all their runners gave everything they had.

This was the first year for the QJS track team and the first junior team out of Quesnel since Correlieu became strictly senior high.

Super League

Staying on top on the ice While the rest of us were slipping around in the snow and the slush, the Super League was sliding stones on sheets of ice for fun again last week.

Ski-Hi stood head and shoulders above A&W, 9-6.

It was the second consecutive week Ski-Hi took down an undefeated team.

Karin's Deli proved to be more resilient to the cold weather than

the Quesnel Golf Course, with the cold-cut slingers taking down the wilted greens 9-5.

For 'Pete's Sake' the Billy remains undefeated, taking down CDC 6-3.

Willis Harper beat the Investors, 7-1.

Investors group chairman came out a little flat, as the Willis Harper boys stole five ends to claim their first win of the season.

Marsh said she missed getting the younger runners in shape and pushing them up through the levels, but is happy now that there is a feeder team for Correlieu.

“Now that we have Scott coaching I have high expectations for next year,” Marsh said.

Both coaches said the experience gained at the provincials will be helpful as the teams work to grow through the coming years.
