Mayor Mary Sjostrom seeking third term AUTUMN MacDONALD Observer Reporter With her husband by her side and supporters surrounding her Mayor Mary Sjostrom announced Wednesday she’s going for a third term.

“I am very proud of the accomplishments of city council in the past few years,” she said.

“The successful referendum for a new arena is a huge step forward towards renewal of our community.

“Everyone will enjoy watching this new recreation facility be constructed in the next year and look forward to the grand opening in 2016.”

Sjostrom also spoke to the success of the West Quesnel Land Stability Program, alluding to “great news” by the end of the month.

Sjostrom went on to highlight the completion of the Our Quesnel Sustainability Plan, a document to guide the city and its elected officials through the next 25 years to lobby government and implement projects outlined in the document.

“As a forest dependent community timber allocation is at the forefront and I’m working closely with the Ministry of Forests to insure sustainability for our city and all our stakeholders large and small,” Sjostrom said.

“I’m a team player who has always put our community first.

“My campaign slogan Bringing Our Community Together describes my approach to being the mayor and I will always consider the needs of our community our highest priority.

“I will focus on my duties as mayor for the rest of this term and continue to represent the needs of our citizens.

“I plan to share more of my vision for a vibrant, sustainable Quesnel next month after everyone enjoys the Thanksgiving holiday with family and friends.”

Sjostrom again thanked her colleagues and noted continued progress through the years while dealing with a community in transition.

“It’s about progress, not promises,” she said, ending her announcement with a quote from Henry Ford: Coming together is a beginning; keeping together is progress; working together is success.

Municipal elections are Nov. 15.

Council approves tax exemptions

City Council approved the three new applications for permissive tax exemptions and proceeded with the first two readings of the 2015 Tax Exempting Bylaw.

Details of those exemptions are as follows: Quesnel Community and Economic Development Corporation will receive a full permissive tax exemption as they are a subsidiary of the City of Quesnel; the North Cariboo Aboriginal Program Society will receive a 30 per cent permissive tax exemption as this group receives the majority of its funding from other levels of government; and the Quesnel Tillicum Society will receive a 50 per cent permissive tax exemption for the area of the building available for public programming.

Fire Engine to Barkerville Heritage Trust.

The engine has served the Quesnel Fire Department exceptionally well since 1990 and with the recent purchase of a new replacement engine, this engine is due to retire.

The disposal of used fire apparatus in the past has been by donation or sealed tender. However, the sealed tender process usually results in a low dollar bid as the engines are stripped of all emergency equipment.

This engine, however, would be a significant improvement to what the Wells/Barkerville fire service currently has and there are discussions that the fire apparatus in their possession could be potentially donated to the McLeese Lake Fire Department.

Seeking surplus fruit Quesnel’s WildsafeBC program is partnering with other local volunteer groups and businesses to carry out a Fruit Gleaning Program within the city to remove all surplus fruit or fruit that residents are unable to deal with due to age or infirmity.

“Fruit gleaning” relates to the removal of all kinds of fruit to prevent the attraction of wildlife (bears, deer, etc.), prevent property damage, lessen human safety concerns and protect wildlife welfare.

Fruit that is of good enough quality for food use would be separated and distributed to local aid organizations.

The remainder would be disposed of

to local agricultural operations or safely disposed of at the local landfill.

City residents with surplus fruit can contact WildsafeBC at 250-992-5743 or by

What volunteering means to our community

W

ell, as I sit to write column number two, I’m thinking that the introduction was easy.

Now where do I go? My intention is to profile longtime volunteers and gain insights into what’s kept them going for so long, to highlight volunteer organizations in Quesnel and the challenges they face, but also to sound the alarm a little bit about what the future might look like when many of these longtime volunteers will have no choice but to pack it in.

It’s a call my wife and I made several years ago, with the athletes in Special Olympics.

The athletes were getting older and the volunteers definitely were. At one time, our youngest volunteer was in her mid-30s, and most coaches and board members were 55 or older.

Fortunately, in the last few years, a number of younger athletes have registered and their parents and siblings have assumed roles in the organization.

While we’ve always been open to accepting athletes as young as eight-yearsold, four-years-ago we had only three registrants younger than 20. Now, that number stands at 17.

Many have brought their young(er) parents and siblings with them. Of our 11 sports, five have coaches younger than 25, a big change from my prediction that our coaches would soon show up with their walkers and motorized scooters.

Special Olympics has been very fortunate, but as I think back on my time as a volunteer, one organization that I was involved with has all but disappeared from Quesnel and that is scouting.

I never intended to become a scouter. My exposure to scouting as a kid had been minimal.

Rick Prosk

Why I volunteer

I remember a few years spent as a Cub in Montrose, a tiny community outside of Trail. I remember a trip to Vancouver, but no campouts.

What drew me into scouting in Quesnel was my five-yearold son, who, at that time, was so competitive he tallied all the goals he scored in Mites hockey.

He needed a noncompetitive balance in his life and it just so happened that there was a Beaver colony operating

out of Voyageur elementary, our neighbourhood school.

Other than attending his investiture, I have little recollection of any active involvement in that first year.

In the spring, I went with him to camp at 22 ½ Mile, a spot on the Nazko Road, owned at the time by the North Cariboo District Scouts. This was a group camp, with Beavers, Cubs and Scouts from the 16th Voyageur group all camping out on the same weekend.

I remember being so impressed by the camaraderie amongst the leaders, the relaxed structure to the planned activities and the fun that

everyone had.

The next year, I joined the leadership team and spent eight years as a Scouter, first with my oldest son Matt, then with my youngest son Ian. At that time, Scouting was for boys only and, at one time, we worked with more than 25 boys in a Beaver colony.

I think my teaching skills came in handy on a few occasions.

I have nothing but fond memories of my time in Scouting and I think it filled a very necessary void in the lives of the boys who participated.

We taught valuable social skills: how to co-operate and work together as a group, how to solve problems, how to persevere, how to

lead, how to follow, how to listen and how to play safely.

It’s sad that such a vital organization has disappeared at a time when it’s needed more than ever.

Marj Sales, the former commissioner for the North Cariboo district confirmed what I already knew.

Scouts Canada no longer operates in this area. Gone are the groups that once

numbered up to 16, gone is the Red Bluff (Scout) Hall and the camp located at 22 ½ Mile. Gone too is the organizational structure that saw her as commissioner overseeing the activities of all the groups in the area.

That restructuring

by Scouts Canada, to eliminate the district council in each area, effectively left the adult leaders without support.

Her involvement was long-time.

She first became involved when she went to enroll her then six-year-old son Dwayne in Beavers back in 1976, only to find the group at Carson full.

She then started a group at Lakeview and became its first leader, before soon moving to the district level as an adult trainer.

Getting involved in Scouts

from A4 Marj recalls that in 1976 a scouting group existed at almost every school in Quesnel, each with a number as well as a name to distinguish it. Gradually, those groups folded until they were all gone. Marj was commissioner when I was a leader and we reminisced about what Scouting meant at that time and what its loss means today.

When asked about the origins of Scouting in Quesnel, Marj quickly responded with the date 1912, saying that Robert Baden-Powell, the founder of Scouting (and later Guiding) wrote a letter to local leaders congratulating them on starting a group here.

His book, Scouting for Boys, formed the foundation of the Scouting program around the world. It sold 150 million copies, making it the fourth best-selling book of the 20th century. Baden-Powell was truly a visionary. When I was a leader, I read Aids to Scoutmastership, originally written in 1920 and revised several times to keep it current. In the 1944 edition, published after Baden-Powell’s death, is a truly prophetic

chapter on building character.

Here, he states that “the most important object in the Boy Scout training-to educate; not to instruct, mind you, but to educate, that is, to draw out the boy to learn for himself, of his own desire, the things that tend to build up character in him”.

To do that, a troop size is ideally 16 but no more than 32, because only in group that size can you provide individual training, “the only way by which you can educate. You can instruct any number of boys, a thousand at a time if you have a loud voice. But that is not trainingit is not education. Education is the thing that counts in building character and in making men.”

Wow. Isn’t this what the BCTF is saying in its fight for smaller class sizes? This brings me back to my lament for the loss of scouting as it once existed, at a time when we need it most. What other organization exists to provide for boys an investment in their “character, self-reliance, self-respect, sense of honour, physical fitness, personal hygiene, self-expression and service to the community”

(Baden-Powell’s words) and an opportunity to excel outside the sports arena?

And now that it’s near extinction, not just in Quesnel but across Canada, it likely won’t be coming back, sad to say. Fewer adult males have any experience as scouters, so they are less likely to want to replicate their own experiences for the sake of their sons. More dads are working 12-hour shifts or out of town for weeks at a time, so can’t make the commitment. Marj and I also agreed that fewer adults are willing to sacrifice their own self-fulfillment for the benefit of others. However, if you’d like to start a group in Quesnel, it can be done.

Find a few other like-minded individuals and check out the www.scouts.ca website.

In the meantime, if your boy is suited to scouting, check out the 14th Dragon Lake Scouts at www.14th.bpsabc.org/, the last bastion of Scouting in Quesnel. It’s part of the ‘traditional’ Scouting movement, so that requires some explaining on my part.

More on that next time.

Protect Your Retirement against Market Volatility As an investor, you’re well aware that, over the short term, the financial markets always move up and down.

During your working years, you may feel that you have time to overcome this volatility. And you’d be basing these feelings on actual evidence: historically, the longer the investment period, the greater the tendency of the markets to “smooth out” their performance. But what happens when you retire? Won’t you be more susceptible to market movements?

You may not be as vulnerable to market movements as you might think. People are living longer, and may easily spend two, or even three, decades in retirement — so your investment time frame isn’t necessarily going to be that compressed.

Nonetheless, it’s still true that time may well be a more important consideration to you during your retirement years, so you may want to be particularly vigilant about taking steps to help smooth out the effects of market volatility. Toward that end, here are a few suggestions: Allocate your investments among a variety of asset classes Ridership is down on all routes of BC Ferries, and the effect of rising fares is hotly debated.

Study shows ferry ripple effect hurting economy Louisiana Hayride Louisiana Hayride TOM FLETCHER Black Press

Rising ferry fares and declining traffic are costing the economy millions more than the revenues accruing to BC Ferries, according to a study prepared for discussion at this month’s local government convention.

Based on what it is calling the first ever “socio-economic” study of ferry use and costs, the Union of B.C. Municipalities executive is recommending the province reverse its November 2013 decision to continue raising ferry rates beyond the rate of inflation.

The report refers to passenger declines of 20 to 40 per cent on northern routes, 10 to 20 per cent on minor routes and five to eight per cent on major routes. The report finds that “ferry ridership declines run counter to the trend of transportation volume increases in most other modes of transport in B.C., including vehicle and air transport.”

The report estimates that if fare increases had been kept to the rate of inflation, passenger volumes would have grown by 19 per cent over the past decade, adding $2.3 billion to the province’s gross domestic product.

Transportation Minister Todd Stone and previous ministers have argued that ridership declines have been seen on Interior ferries that charge no fares, and on other travel affected by rising fuel prices.

The UBCM executive wants the provincial government to take a “pause” in rate increases set by B.C. Ferry Commissioner Gord Macatee.

Current rate caps allow for maximum increases of four per cent this year and 3.9 per cent in 2015.

The UBCM membership will debate the report and recommendations at its annual convention in Whistler Sept. 24.

Of course, proper asset allocation is a good investment move at any age, but when you’re retired, you want to be especially careful that you don’t “over-concentrate” your investment dollars among just a few assets.

Spreading your money among a range of vehicles — stocks, bonds, GICs and so on —can help you avoid taking the full brunt of a downturn that may primarily hit just one type of investment. (Keep in mind, though, that while diversification can help reduce the effects of volatility, it can’t assure a profit or protect against loss.)

As you’ve probably heard, “past performance is no guarantee of future results,” and this is true. You can help improve your outlook by owning quality investments. So when investing in stocks, choose those that have actual earnings and a track record of earnings growth. If you invest in fixed-income vehicles, pick those that are considered “investment grade.”

At various times during your retirement, you will, in all likelihood, witness some sharp drops in the market.

Try to avoid overreacting to these downturns, and stay disciplined to your strategy. If you can keep your emotions out of investing, you will be less likely to make moves such as selling quality investments because their price is down, and missing any market rebound.

Don’t try to “time” the market Focus on taking a longer-term view of market volatility by staying invested and making consistent investments into quality assets based on a systematic strategy and not predictions of market highs and lows. Over time, this method of investing may result in lower per-share costs. However, as is the case with diversification, this type of systematic investing won’t guarantee a profit or protect against loss, and you’ll need to be willing to keep investing when share prices are declining.

It’s probably natural to get somewhat more apprehensive about market volatility during your retirement years. But taking the steps described above can help you navigate the sometimes-choppy waters of the financial world.

Paying the price

Friday, September 12, 2014

Quesnel Cariboo Observer

W

e may think we need wearable technology – such as Google Glass or the new Apple Watch – and manufacturers would like us to think so, too.

But the last thing we need in this day and age of multiple distractions is something else to divert our attention from the responsibilities of operating a vehicle. Most drivers would probably agree that erratic behaviour on the roads has not decreased over the past 20 years.

Indeed, it appears we are now paying the price for past leniency in what seems to have emerged as current norms of driving – unsignalled turns and lane changes, sudden swerves within lanes or into the line of oncoming traffic, unexpected decreases in speed and failure to respond to traffic signals.

Those who have ever wondered “what’s up with this guy?” have probably discovered more than once, on closer approach, a driver juggling the wheel and a cup of coffee; glancing down at a text message; or with a cellphone clutched to his or her ear.

It’s time we demanded a much higher standard, and a much more stringent series of penalties for distracted driving that will anticipate the wave of new attentiongrabbing technologies. The B.C. Superintendent of Motor Vehicles believes that current regulations against using hand-held devices will also cover wearable technologies.

He thinks continuing to monitor the situation is an adequate response.

We’re not betting on it.

When human life is at stake, we suggest, we can’t afford to take an overly optimistic approach.

While it would be nice to believe that all human beings will behave responsibly, given a new set of temptations, bitter experience demonstrates otherwise.

If somebody can do something unwise, most likely somebody will do it.

–Black Press

The question to ski or not to ski M

y muscles are sore. Sore from water-skiing.

Just in case you have a vision of me being one of those athletic types who makes this sport look easy, let me assure you the opposite is true. I am very good at making it look quite difficult, actually. And that includes getting dressed for it.

I had no intention of displaying this special skill of mine this past weekend, but I was camping with one of my best friends for the first time and she has some water toys she wanted me to try.

I’d taken Kari’s kayak for a jaunt, as well as her paddleboard, and I’d been a passenger on one of her jet skis. I was then encouraged by the kids to go tubing or water-skiing.

“Mom’s too chicken,” my 11-year-old daughter said to my 14-year-old son at the notion of me doing either.

“She thinks the water’s too cold.”

“It is too cold,” I agreed from my comfy chair in the sun.

“But if there was a wetsuit I’d try skiing for sure.”

Lori Welbourne

On A Brighter Note And that’s when I learned Kari owned one of those too.

With no real interest in putting down my magazine in exchange for a pair of skis, I thought about it for a few minutes and decided to do it anyway.

I walked up to the campsite to look for the thermal garment that would keep me from freezing.

Putting it on was more challenging than I anticipated. By the time I got my legs in the skintight shorts portion of it and pulled the middle part up to my waist, I’d already started heating up.

Twisting my arms into an awkward position to get them into the armholes, I then stood stuck for awhile; my shoulders bare and my upper limbs imprisoned

Now that I’d worked up a sweat putting the darn thing on, I was ready to cool down in the lake. I was also eager to impress my kids.

I’d only water-skied two other times in my life, and on both those occasions I did it for my children as well. It took me a couple of tries to get up, but once I did I stayed like that for quite a while.

I planned on looking graceful - but it just wasn’t possible. With my bottom jutting out like Mrs. Wiggins, my back arched like a scared cat, and my arms holding onto the rope for dear life, I felt lucky that I didn’t wipe out the half dozen times I expected to in the first few minutes.

I crashed every time I attempted to ski over the wake, but that was fine. Whether I succeeded or failed, looked cool or ridiculous, the important thing to me was that my kids saw me trying. And try I did. With a too-tight wetsuit on backwards no less.

behind me in the holes of the sturdy foamed neoprene.

After a slight rest I somehow managed to wriggle my left arm into the suit far enough that it eventually inched up and covered my left shoulder.

Now with my right arm pushed even further backwards in the second opening, I kept squirming until my right shoulder was covered.

When I was finally cloaked in the insulated fabric I flailed around a bit more, pulling the suit here and there to make it fit better.

Once it did I was able to tackle the zipper.

I tried pulling it all the way up, but stopped when it started choking my neck.

Leaving it partially zipped, I walked down to the beach to surprise my family with the announcement that I was ready to ski. I also made my friend’s family laugh with the sight of me wearing her wetsuit backwards.

Apparently the big zipper with the long string attached was supposed to go in the back, not the front. No wonder it had been such a struggle.

Editor: This letter should really be addressed to the people of Wells, those who were born in Wells, those who lived in Wells and those who enjoy Wells.

We are including Quesnel and area because we know they like Wells too.

Wells Historical Society is struggling to raise much-needed funds to install a new furnace for the Wells Museum and are engaging in fundraising efforts .

The Society is having a Pub Night at the Occidental Hotel in Quesnel.

We are appealing to all those who have ever had a good time in Wells to come and have a good time for Wells at the Occidental.

In order to make it a great evening, we ask that you purchase your tickets this week if possible.

The event in July was postponed due to poor ticket sales. After that, we had several phone calls saying, “Oh, we were going to come. Oh, we wanted four tickets.”

As you well know, any establishment putting on an event that includes food must have some indication as to how many people to expect. I know, I know, it’s the Cariboo, everyone buys tickets at the last minute. However, this makes it very difficult for the organizers to plan anything.

We have been offered some very nice prizes and would hope that we have enough supporters who will come and spend enough money to show that we appreciate the donations. We will also be selling those bricks for our brick outhouse not really an outhouse but it is definitely raising some money.

Wells has a lot of history and the Historical Society is doing their best to preserve that history. Please come out and support our efforts.

Thank You Honey Affleck Wells Historical Society

Thank you My husband and I were driving to Surrey with a fifth wheel trailer. We came to the exit to Surrey on hwy 1 when one of the tires on the trailer had a blowout. We drove onto the exit ramp and managed to park on the side of the road.

It was an extremely busy Friday afternoon rush hour. There was a large piece of rubber wedged behind the wheel preventing the spare from being mounted. My elderly husband tried for about an hour to remove this to no avail when suddenly a gentleman appeared. He had managed to park behind us and soon had found a way to remove the piece of tire and had the new one installed and we were on our way. This gentleman was the only person out of thousands who had driven past us, who stopped and we were so impressed with his kindness. His name is Steven Schiller from Quesnel and I just wanted you to know what a fantastic person lives amongst you.

Yellow Flag Iris, eye-cayching but damaging seeds as well. Seed pods are buoyant and can float for up to seven months allowing for long distance travel in waterways.

Because of its ability to grow in such dense colonies, Yellow Flag Iris out competes native wetland plants, reducing the habitat and resources available for wildlife, waterfowl and fish. This invasive plant can alter the width of water courses by compacting soils, trapping sediments, and blocking water flow. Yellow Flag Iris is a poisonous plant and can make humans, livestock, and wildlife sick if ingested.

Handling this plant in a manner that is not going to cause further spread is important. Clipping the seed heads will help prevent further spread.If removing a bunch of these Irises from a site, be sure to expose all of the rhizomes and dig them out carefully. Do not let any pieces of the rhizome remain in the water. Be sure to wear gloves during this process as the plant is poisonous.

To dispose of the plant material, place in heavy plastic bags and take to the designated invasive plant bins at the Williams Lake, 100 Mile House or Quesnel Landfill sites.

If you have any questions or concerns about Yellow Flag Iris, or need some assistance in management or identification, please contact the Cariboo Regional District’s invasive Plant Management team at 250-392-3351 or toll free at 1-800-665-1636 or visit our website at cariboord.ca

This eye catching perennial was brought to North America from Europe, Western Asia and Northwest Africa in the 1800’s as an ornamental plant for water gardens and ponds. Since then, it has escaped cultivation and has spread to treed and open wetlands, lake edges and flood plains, causing damage and choking out native plant species.

Yellow Flag Iris grows from 1 to 1.5 metres tall and on very rare occasions can reach a stunning two metres in height.They have erect leaves that are usually around 90 centimetres long and 3cm wide.

The leaves are dark green to blue/ green in colour and are shaped like a sword, with a distinctive ridge in the mid-vein.

When not in flower, this plant is often confused for Cattail and BurReed. The flowers on Yellow Flag Iris are brilliant yellow with three slender petals facing upwards and three large “flag-like” petals that hang down. Petals may be streaked with brown to purple veins and there can be several flowers on each stem.

When Yellow Flag Iris establishes itself, it is extremely difficult to eradicate as they have thick mats of tangled rhizomes and roots that can be up to 30cm in depth and can span out with hundreds of plants attached.

Just one small sliver of one of these rhizomes can survive a prolonged period of time in dry conditions and go on to grow a new plant. Not only does Yellow Flag Iris reproduce by rhizomes, but by

Cheryl Macarthy, partner in the Bear’s Paw Cafe, remarks, “SeanaLee mixes so much class and musical perfectionism with a complete irreverance for what she does.

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.

The Paw’s own intimate atmosphere just adds to the ambiance.”

For an evening of great food, and entertainment, join Seana-Lee in Wells, this Saturday, Sept.13, at 7:30 p.m.(admission by donation).

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.

B

orn to Swedish parents in a Matsqui farmhouse in 1919 less than three months after the First World War ended, Ernie Poignant discovered his passion for art early after his grandmother showed him how to draw.

For the rest of his life, right up to today, Ernie pursues that passion in a variety of ways but every experience is with pencil or pen in hand.

Turning his artistic abilities to cartooning came easy to this talented artist and it provided a welcome break from his daily chores on the family chicken farm and the long walk to school and home.

He enlisted in the army during the Second World War and served his time in Western Canada after an exploding mortar permanently damaged his hearing and prevented him from active service. Several of his one-frame cartoons appeared in military publications during the war.

During this time his cartoons appeared in Canadian Poultry in 1940 and also in the Swedish Press division based in Vancouver in 1947.

After the war, Ernie was looking for work and said in 1949 he accepted a job at the Cariboo Observer in Quesnel for $50 a week. He worked five and half days a week for the publisher Bev Hutchcroft but not as a cartoonist.

He admitted he was fascinated by the caribou head on the front page masthead which is what drew him to Quesnel.

“I was hired as a compositor and to do lino-type,” Ernie said in a phone interview from his home in Abbotsford.

“The old press was run by a gas engine in the old building built in 1870 on Reid Street.”

With a remarkable memory for his advanced age of 95, he described his job making lino-cuts for ads for the Observer.

“We used a thick linoleum and cut it with a sharp knife then put it into a flatbed press.”

Hutchcroft was replaced as publisher

by Lou Griffiths and Poignant said after that the Observer had quite a bit of printing for the Wells mining company.

“Eventually they combined the Cariboo Observer with the Wells Chronicle and called it the Cariboo Observer.”

Ernie said that’s when he began creating cartoons for the newspaper.

He reminisced about the town at that time saying there were several hitching posts as horses were still used in the early 1950s.

“Prospectors would look for gold in the Quesnel River and the Chinese people would have the scales to weigh the gold,” he remembered.

As a young single man, Ernie enjoyed life in rough and tumble Quesnel but after meeting the love of his life, Rose, he settled down to family life.

Rose Hadp moved to Quesnel to live with her sister and worked at the coffee shop across from the Observer.

“That’s where I met her,” he said.

“We got married in Quesnel at the Anglican Church and lived in West Quesnel across the river from the hospital. We bought a two-room house

with an outhouse that was knocked over our first Halloween in the place.”

He said they lived across the street from a fellow named Louie the Bootlegger who lived in a big house and every Sunday people would ask the Poignants what kind of church was that with all the cars around it.

Ernie spoke of life in small-town Quesnel where the Kangaroos hockey team was managed by theatre owner Paul Gauthier.

“My brother David came up and built the Carib Theatre for Paul in the early 1950s,” he said.

Ernie also said the old walking bridge was the only way across the river and it was so narrow if two trucks approached from either end, one had to back up.

After leaving Quesnel in 1958 with his family, Ernie continued to work as a cartoonist for the Maple Ridge Gazette then for other publications in the Lower Mainland.

He also became a roving cartoonist and avid historian, creating his work in nursing homes, hospitals, at various public events and of course at his kitchen table under the watchful and long-suffering eye of his wife Rose.

During his time as a chalk-talk artist (one that sketches on site) Ernie developed a soft spot for Canuck Place Children’s Hospice where he often visited the children. He has dedicated the proceeds from Poignant Moments, his first and second books of his cartoons, to Canuck Place and hopes people will support his cause and in the process, enjoy his book.

Ernie continues to create his cartoons, entertain the public and lives a modest life with his beloved wife Rose.

FUN FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY

QUESNEL

FALL FAIR SEPTEMBER 20th & 21st

Society hosting pub night The Wells Historical Society is hosting a Pub Night at the Occidental Hotel, Sept. 20 including dinner, gift basket raffle, certificate board and dessert auction to raise much-needed funds for a furnace, hot water tank and a paint job on the Wells Museum.

Tickets are $25 each and available by calling Honey, 250992-5875 or Carrie, 1-250-994-3243.

The Wells Historical Society began life in 1952 in association with the Cariboo Historical Society – both interested in the preservation of Cariboo historical resources. Initially,

the main interest was Barkerville. Wells, as a town, was only 20-years-old at the time. In 1972, it was formally made a Society under the Societies Act and ever since has operated a museum in Wells featuring the artifacts and preserving the documentary history related to Wells. In 1997, the Society moved from the original Miners Union Hall building to the Island Mountain Mine Office building – both on Pooley Street. The Society has been a volunteer organization throughout, raising funds and managing the restoration of the Mine Office, as well

as in the operation of the museum on a yearly basis through fund-raising activities.

The uniqueness of the history of Wells is celebrated at the museum through recognition of the family-oriented development of the community by the Cariboo Gold Quartz Mine that began operation in the area in 1923, culminating in the construction of houses, hospital

and community hall during the great depression of the 1930s – when all the rest of the world was weighed down by the lack of work, Wells was the place to be. Not only did it demonstrate that there was still gold in ‘thar hills’, especially after the tremendous output of gold during the halcyon days of early placer mining in the region, with See PAGE A19

Heart of the community from A16 Barkerville at the centre, it brought a change in the social direction associated with both the early placer mining and the culture most often seen in Company Towns of the day.

The Cariboo Gold Quartz had purposely aimed at developing a town that they wanted to last more than 50 years, where a miner could raise a family and retire.

However, by 1967, the mine was showing less and less profit, as gold was still in the doldrums – a result of the war – and the mine closed.

With continued interest in gold mining through placer work, as well as further work in the hard rock (lode) mining upon the part of other companies, and the rise of the forest industries and tourism through Barkerville – Wells was able to sustain.

While dropping from a population in the region of over 6,000 people in 1942 to around 180 year round residents at the present, the collection of artifacts and documents has made it difficult to both sustain the museum, and also to keep it operational.

Obituary Tribute

LESLIE G PETERSON 1935 - 2014

“It is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died.

Rather we should thank God that such men lived.”

Our father passed away quietly Wednesday, September 3, 2014 with his children by his side. Never one to back away from a fight, Dad fought pancreatic cancer until there was just no fight left.

Predeceased by our Mom, Fern Peterson. Left to miss his cranky sense of humour are his children: Cherrie (Tom) of Hixon, BC; Andy (Sharmon) of Manning, AB; Larry of Surrey, BC; Daniel (Pearl) of Grimshaw, AB; Rhonda (George) of Prince George, BC; Donna (Barry) of Edmonton, AB; James (Jocelyn) of Manning, AB; many grandchildren; and his companion, Frances.

Following Dad’s wishes, there will be no funeral. We will be gathering to scatter his ashes at a later date.

Special thanks to Dr. Walker for his kindness and compassion, and to the staff at G.R. Baker Memorial Hospital, for making such a difficult time a little easier.

It is with great sadness that the family of Herbert Leroy CHESLEY announce his passing on May 19, 2014 in the Hospice of Dunrovin Park Lodge. Herb (Herbie) was born August 11, 1933 and celebrated his 80th birthday last year with many family and friends at his Cotton Springs Ranch on West Fraser Road.

Herb was born in Smeaton, Saskatchewan to Arthur and Eunice Chesley and was the eldest son of five boys. Herb moved to Quesnel in 1953 where he met and married Irene Twan whom he was married to for 51 years.

Herb and Irene raised family, successfully ranched and logged west of Quesnel for over 50 years, Herb had an impact on so many people during his life. He was a great man of integrity, a great support within his community and always conducted himself honourably; for this he was loved and respected by his family, friends and business associates. He was certainly a role model of hard work for his children and grandchildren.

He consistently shared his ethics of working hard at everything, supporting family and friends and above all sharing laughter.

Herb was diagnosed with cancer last fall but even that did not hinder his disposition and devotion to his ranch. He was still making phone calls, giving instructions and making plans for the ranch and logging just two days before he passed away. Herb spent his lifetime building a legacy for his family. His family will do their best to continue his legacy to ranch and log as he taught them to do.

Herb was predeceased at the time of his passing by both his parents, his brother Walter, sister-in-law Edna and his beautiful daughter Donna Marie.

He is survived by his wife Irene, and at the time of his passing his children; Vivian (Larry), Arthur (Jude), Gloria (Dean). His grandchildren: Mavis (Rick), Robyn (Zach), Brett (Kieron), Morgan (Ed). Great-grandchildren: Cole, Calleigh and Echo. Brothers; Ken, Don (Claire), Bruce (Pat), sister-in-law; Pat. As well as many other family members and cherished friends.

Herb was laid to rest on May 26, 2014 St. Ann’s Catholic Church, officiating Father Martin Peyton. Inurnment: Quesnel and District cemetery, next to his parents and his daughter Donna. Some of Herb’s ashes were placed in a rock overlooking the Ranch on Father’s Day. Herb was a proud man always grateful for life’s blessings. Herb’s family would like to extend heart felt gratitude to all neighbours, family and friends that supported him and his family through this difficult time; specifi-

cally Norman Johnny; long term employee, friend, and neighbour for his loyalty and dedication to Herb. His physicians; Dr. Martins and Dr. Van Dyk, thank you for your care and compassion. Thank you to the Nurses and other health care professionals we encountered during Herb’s illness. Thank you St. Ann’s Catholic Church and all its members for their contribution and effort to his service. Thank you to the Pall bearers, honorary pall bearers and ushers who were all cherished friends and family of Herb’s and Irene’s. To the musicians at the service and tea, thank you, your music was very special to all of us. Finally, thank you to Clayton’s Funeral Home for all their compassionate assistance to the family in final arrangements.

Herbie hauled his last load of logs to Quesnel on December 18, 2013. Always the worker, husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle, friend, neighbour....you will always be remembered as a GREAT man who made a difference to each one of us.

•••

Two weeks before Herb’s passing, his daughter Vivian Catherine Kowal was diagnosed with cancer as well. It is with great sadness that we announce her passing on August 10, 2014 at the Williams Lake hospital, one day prior to her 60th birthday. Vivian is survived by her husband of 36 years Larry, her daughter Mavis (Rick) and grandchildren Cole and Calleigh and her adoring family and friends.

As requested by Vivian, there was no service.

Vivian was a loving and caring woman who will be deeply missed by all of us; the family is deeply saddened that we did not get more time with this beautiful woman who was a wonderful wife, mother, grandmother, daughter, sister, aunt and friend. We take comfort in knowing she is with her sister and father, We Love You Vivian.

Lifestyles

Come one come all to Wells Museum Society pub night

from A17 Visitors come to the museum for a variety of reasons including two brothers who stopped by this summer.

Billy and Donnie Johnston spent part of their childhood in Wells in the early 1950s and the two brothers were thrilled to find their names

stitched into a quilt that hands in the museum’s hospital room.

They spent an enjoyable time reminiscing about

their time in Wells.

Just as the two were leaving the museum, a group of 10 children with supervisors arrived.

They also spent

considerable time pursuing the displays.

So, if you hold some special memories of dances, games and other social events in Wells, we would

love to see you out for a night of fun and games (gift baskets, certificate board, dessert auction and dinner – with dancing afterward). Bring

your wallet.

Wrapping-up another sucessful season

There couldn’t have been any place better to finish off the season for motocross racer’s than right here in their home town.

After a very busy season that started here in Quesnel back in April with snow on the ground and sleet and rain starting the season off, to what was mother nature’s reward this past weekend, Sept. 6 – 7.

With just enough rain the week prior to the races, to cooler, sunny days with a light shower on Saturday to keep the dust down, it couldn’t of

been any better.

For the Quesnel Motor Cross Association, we were excited to host a third sanctioned event here in Quesnel for the first time.

In the past, we’ve only been able to host one race a year, but with the growth of the club and support from its members and the community, we pulled it off with great success and grateful riders.

Weeks before the event, members got busy, ordering trophies, arranging equipment, organizing volunteers

and then a week before the race, the equipment arrived, and the work began with grooming the track, cleaning up the grounds preparing for the final race weekend.

Riders from all over came excited but also sad knowing this was the last BCMA race for the season that they would be spending with their MX families. After traveling together all season, many relationships were formed and memories were made.

For some at the Quesnel race, it was an opportunity to try racing for the first time, such

as 15-year-old volunteer Royce Maxwell who spent the day being a flagger on Saturday. We then went home that night and told his parents he would rather be racing so the next day he arrived with his dirt bike and entered the Beginner class along with beginner Keaton Reichert who both had a fantastic time on the track.

Many local racers, ages 5-years-old – 40-yearsold, male and female all came out and put their passion to power while family and friends cheered on.

Two top Intermediate racers for BCMA, 15-year old-Quesnel boys, # 671 Jackson Nickolet and # 82 Colton Shepherd, couldn’t of been happier as well to finish their race season off or their home track.

Finishing off the season, Nickolet will finish in first place with Shepherd taking second overall. The official announcements and trophy presentation will be hosted in Prince George at the 2014 BCMA year end banquet in October.

The Quesnel track will remain open for riding

until the weather closes it down. Memberships are required to ride the track and can be purchased at Outback, Full Throttle or Elderado.

The Quesnel Motocross Association wants to thank all those involved for making this season a success and look forward to hosting some fund raising events in the near future to raise funds to purchase some desperately needed equipment and materials to maintain the sport of Motocross in Quesnel.

The players have been out at Cariboo Field ever Tuesday and Thursday preparing for their opponents.

Tackling tough obstacles and drills throughout the evening practices, despite Quesnel Minor Footballs rocky start. With a shortage of players the hopes of having a pee wee team were lost.

But it’s not all bad news for Quesnel Minor Football

teams, having made both an atoms and junior bantam team to represent Quesnel on the fields this year.

Sept. 6 marked the first game of the season for Quesnel minor football.

The atoms travelled to Prince George to taking on the local team on their home field.

It was a nail biting afternoon, with a final score of 18-15 in

favour of P.G. But, the loss has not dampened their spirit and the team is ready to try again The atoms players are geared up and ready to play again this weekend, this time on their home field.

Come cheer on the team this Saturday as Quesnel faces off against Williams Lake players at the Cariboo Field, 11 a.m.

FIND A FRIEND

Don’t think of him as gone away, his journey’s just begun, life holds so many facets - this earth is only one.

Just think of him as resting from the sorrows and the tears in a place of warmth and comfort where there are no days and years.

Think how he must be wishing that we could know today how nothing but our sadness can really pass away.

And think of him as living in the hearts of those he touched... for nothing loved is ever lost and he was loved so much.

Mom & Brian, Lyndsay, Annie and Zoey.

Being A Telephone Operator You’re off to the office and into the booth, On with your headset, you know you are couth.

The lights on the board are lit up like a street, You answer the ones you can reach from your seat.

The operators are seated, all in a row, While the “Chief Operator” keeps us in tow.

You answer each light with “what number please?”

The routine is simple and handled with ease.

The shifts can be long, but never a bore, For even long distance is something in store.

A split shift is part of the day and the night, The pay is much better so I’ll work it in spite.

You work every day, as hard as you can, Connecting each number, woman and man.

When they are through, the light will go out, You unplug each one, no playing about.

You’re kept very busy all through the day, Connecting the people to who ever they say.

If they become disconnected, the feeling is mixed, Let’s hope this misfortune can surely be fixed.

You try to console them with all of your might, But deep in their mind, you cannot be right.

You reconnect them and hope for the best, You’ve done what you could, you’re mind is at rest.

The Snake In The Grass While walking through the hay field, much to my surprise, A snake came crawling through the grass, right before my eyes.

It slithered along, in the grass and beyond, Of this creepy crawler, I’m not very fond.

I do not like snakes, they’re as creepy as can be, I like to keep a distance, between them and me.

Their skin on the outside, is scaly and rough, I guess this is why, they become really tough.

To say they are useless, is probably wrong, But I’d just as soon, they’d keep moving along.

If he minds his own business, I’m sure to mind mine, And with this kind of logic, we’ll get along fine.

That creepy snake, is as long as can be, As it slithers through the grass, right towards me.

I just wish this snake would be on its way, So I could get moving with my busy day.

It seems to just lie there, and look me right through, I’m sure it is calling upon its whole crew.

I’ll watch him real closely, and then step aside, As me and that snake, we will never confide.

I have to keep watching, he may want to play, And that will not happen, I really must say.

I must get away, and when all that is said, I’ll make one big beeline, down to the shed.

The to look at. This is not the SE model I drove came For the price, case on the 2014 Ford with Bluetooth, satellite driving the Fiesta Fiesta: it has had a faceradio, navigation, power lift and features more locks, windows, and the feels a bit naughty, standard options than in My Ford Sync. as if maybe you the last model year.

When I headed out the plastic around here actually looks to the hockey rink, I was able to put all and feels good. For the price ($19,990 of my goalie equipment into the back, as tested), driving the Fiesta feels a no problem. Parking in cities is increasbit naughty, as if maybe you have ingly becoming a premium. Parking stolen a more expensive car than you a sub-compact like the Fiesta was a can actually afford. I would love to be breeze even without a backup camera! able to afford an Aston Martin as my As some people with larger vehicles daily commuter car but at this point in will know, parking at places like malls my life that is not an option.

winter roads should not be a problem.

Of course, you would want to invest in a good set of winter tires.

Beyond the city limits, out on the highway, heading south it handled the road well, with enough get up and go for good passing power when needed.

It’s quite roomy for a small car. There’s room for three in the back seat as long as those passengers are not of a larger body type, if I may delicately put it that way. If you are of a larger body type, there is plenty of room in the trunk, if you desperately need a ride at that exact moment. (Just kidding.) But it does tell you the trunk is also roomy!

Verdict: No complaints. For a sub-compact, you get great tech options, great fuel economy, in a car that doesn’t feel like you are driving something as inexpensive as it is. It’s fun and zippy for driving around town or highway driving. If you need a small car as a

daily commuter or it’s your second car to accommodate a bigger SUV or truck, I would recommend taking one out for a test drive to see if it fits for you in what you are looking for in a car. The Fiesta right now for me is tops in the subcompact class.

Flex is a short name for a big Ford utility/wagon type vehicle that can accommodate six or seven people with ease and seat them with an impressive degree of comfort.

Made in Canada, Flex is a hard-to-categorize vehicle Styling lines that was introduced for the provide an interesting 2009 model year. Not a car, wrapper for what a minivan or an SUV, Flex borrows from them all, so the is actually a very ‘crossover’ tag is also very practical family appropriate. vehicle.

Stylistically the Ford Flex dares to be different. What Bob McHugh appears at first glance to be a simple two-box design is actually more complex. It has generally straight styling lines yet there are no sharp corners.

Its two-tone paint finish is separated by the dark centre greenhouse section, which gives Flex a distinctive ‘floating roof' appearance that's also appealing.

On the inside, even with all its seats upright there's still 566 litres (20 cu ft) of cargo space in the back. That jumps to 1,224 litres (43.2 cu. ft) with the third row down and a whopping 2,355 litres (83.2 cu. ft) with the second row flat.

The front passenger seat can also fold forward and allows Flex to swallow 3-metre (10 ft) long object, with its liftgate closed. Flex can also have an impressive max towing capacity of 2,041 kg (4,500 lbs), when properly equipped.

Originally (in 2009) Flex just came in SEL and Limited trim levels and all-wheel drive was a ($2,000) optional offering.

The only engine was a 3.5-litre V6 engine that can deliver 262 horsepower at 6,250 rpm and 248 lb.-ft. of torque at 4,500 rpm. It's mated to a six-speed automatic transmission and drive goes to the front wheels. Highway fuel economy is surprisingly good 8.4 L/100 km, but the city rating is a much thirstier 12.6 L/100km.

Two changes came in 2010 in the form of a new (lower-priced) entry level SE trim version of Flex and the other was a new optional 3.5 litre V6 EcoBoost engine (Limited trim only). Turbochargers and direct fuel injection allow this engine to provide V8 like power, yet still offer it still offer V6 fuel economy. The MyKey security feature and an AutoFold 60/40 bench seat were both added as standard equipment in all Flex trim levels.

A new top-line Titanium edition of Flex was added to the product line in 2011. It comes with the V6 EcoBoost engine and all-wheel-drive. And other than a switch to a centrally mounted rear windshield wiper there were no significant changes in 2012. The 2013 edition of Flex got a mid-life styling refresh that included a slicker new front-end treatment plus minor improvements to both engine offerings.

Safety ratings are all top-notch and this, plus high owner reliability ratings, has helped put the Ford Flex on Consumer Reports “Recommended” list of vehicle buys. Although not as fuel-efficient, the standard 3.5 litre engine reportedly has fewer problems compared to the newer and more powerful turbo-charged V6 engine option.

Ford Flex not only looks different, it is different … and it’s a Canadian! Polarizing (love/hate) styling lines provide an interesting wrapper for what is actually a very practical family vehicle.
