City receives annual funding for safety and policing services infrastructure, administration and service delivery priorities.

“Local governments have the discretion to use money from Small Community and Regional District Grants where they feel it is best spent according to their needs and priorities,”

Oakes said.

“They use it to provide local services, infrastructure and important programs for B.C. families.”

“Traffic fine revenue sharing represents a provincial commitment to public safety that comes full-circle: the revenue is the result of police

enforcement efforts to keep our roads safer, and it goes back to communities to help them address priority local policing, crime prevention and other public safety programming,” Attorney General and Minister of Justice Suzanne Anton added.

CRD receives funding for invasive plant management

The provincial government is providing $204,000 to the Cariboo Regional District and $10,000 to the Cariboo Chilcotin Coast Invasive Plant Committee to help control the spread of invasive plants, Cariboo North MLA Coralee Oakes announced Tuesday.

These are two of 29 grants, totalling $1,702,000, that are being distributed province-wide to local governments, regional invasive species committees and the Invasive Species Council of B.C. to assist with their activities and support the objectives of the provincial Invasive Plant Program.

“Invasive species are a growing concern all across B.C.,” Cariboo North MLA, Coralee Oakes said.

“They are destroying roads and buildings, harming livestock and wildlife, and dismantling out diverse ecosystems.

They need to be stopped, and we all need to work together to achieve this goal.”

The funding will be invested in activities such as raising public awareness of invasive plants, surveying invasive plant populations and actively treating high-priority sites to control the spread of these plants.

Invasive plants are species that have been introduced into British Columbia from other areas.

They displace native vegetation and can cause considerable economic and environmental damage.

Some pose a health risk to people (e.g.

Trustees are interested in hearing the Community’s views on the key areas that the School District should focus its resources, as it prepares the 2015/2016 Preliminary Budget which is estimated to be a shortfall in funding of $915,650. The District is projecting enrolment decline of 130 school-aged students, 51 adult learners and 13 fee paying international students. Enrolment decline and increasing cost pressures make the financial decisions very challenging for the Board of Education. This is an opportunity for the Community to contribute their views to budget discussions.

District Staff will be sharing demographic and financial information, enrolment projections and comparisons to similar sized Districts.

City receives climate cash The B.C. Government has provided $69,963 in funding to two communities along with the Cariboo Regional District in recognition of their commitment to support a healthier, more sustainable community.

In March 2015, $6.4 million was provided through the Climate Action Revenue Incentive Program to B.C. communities.

From this funding, Quesnel received $52,317, Wells

$2,825 and the Cariboo Regional District $14,821.

“Funding from the Climate Action Revenue Incentive Program support environment friendly projects and make a positive impact on green-job creation,” Cariboo North MLA Coralee Oakes said.

“I am grateful that this program will help our local communities continue to progress towards becoming greener and more energy-efficient for generations to come.”

The Climate Action Revenue Incentive Program provides conditional grants to communities that have signed the Climate Action Charter and supports their efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Communities that report publicly on their progress toward meeting their climate action goals are eligible to receive a grant equivalent to 100 per cent of the carbon tax they pay directly.

Since 2008, the B.C. government has provided more than $25 million through the Climate Action Revenue Incentive Program.

Currently, 96 per cent of communities in B.C. have signed the Climate Action Charter. To learn about the Climate Action Revenue Incentive Program, please visit http://www. cscd.gov.bc.ca/lgd/ greencommunities/ carip.htm.

Obituary Tribute

BERTHA MARY (COOPER) LONG August 9, 1930 - March 27, 2015

The family of Bertha sadly announces her passing on March 27th at the age of 84. Predeceased by her son Richard Long; brother Tom; sisters Faye and Emma. Survived by her husband Allan Long; daughter Martha Nadjiwan; son David Mufford; brother George; sisters May and Flora as well as many grandchildren and great grandchildren.

Raymond David LeComte June 5, 1947 ~ April 15, 2015

Raymond David LeComte was born on June 5, 1947 at St. Mary’s Hospital in New Westminster, BC to Praxede (Sid) LeComte (nee Dubuc) and Oscar “Dave” LeComte.

Ray passed away on April 15, 2015 surrounded by his loved ones at the Prince George Regional Hospital.

Ray spent his childhood in New Westminster until 1966, when he moved to Quesnel, BC. At age 19 he started work at the Weldwood Plywood Plant, where he remained for 43 years until he retired at age 62. A dedicated and hard-working employee, Ray enjoyed his work and always had a joke and a smile for his co-workers.

After moving to Quesnel, Ray still visited family in Surrey, BC and during one of these visits in July of 1973, he met Holly Graham. Ray and Holly had a whirlwind romance and married in October of that same year, after which Holly moved to Quesnel to join Ray. The couple celebrated the birth of their first child Aaron David LeComte in 1974, their second child Tamara Louise LeComte in 1977, and third child Kami Lisa LeComte in 1979.

Ray enjoyed spending all of his free time with his family. He always had fun on local fishing and camping

trips as well as the family’s excursions to Disneyland and Mexico. While his family enjoyed many summer vacations away, Ray was always excited to be back in Quesnel again, or as he dubbed it “God’s Country”.

Ray and Holly moved to Prince George, BC in 2010, after Ray’s retirement, to be closer to children and grandchildren. A man with strong convictions, Ray enjoyed discussing a large variety of subjects. All that knew Ray will fondly remember his Sucrets tin full of toothpicks which he chewed regularly and his love of black Velcro shoes. Ray enjoyed many pastimes including reading, swimming, playing cards, boardgames, farkle, crokinole, and watching his shows on TV. Ray is survived by his loving wife of 41 years, Holly LeComte (nee Graham), his mother Praxede (Sid)

LeComte, his son Aaron and his family Treslyn, Brady, Brett (Kristen) and Elijah.

Daughter Tamara Dunphy (Tim) and their sons Quinn and Haven. Daughter Kami Holowachuk (Kirt) and their family Cohen, Sawyer, and Addison. Also survived by his brother Louis LeComte, brother Roy LeComte (Linda) and brother-in-law Cam McKee, sister Penny Collins, mother-in-law Joyce Graham, brothersin-law Tom Graham (MaryAnne), David Graham, Craig Graham (Sarah), Stephen Graham, Stuart Graham (Marcia), Shawn Graham (Grace). Sisters-in-law Lynda Lewis (Bruce), Shelly Graham (Chris), Shirley McLennon (Ken), Sandra Backer (Doug) along with numerous family members and friends. Ray was predeceased by his father Oscar “Dave” LeComte, his father-in-law Frederick “Ted” Graham, his sister Alma McKee and his sister Judy Sandoff.

A Celebration of Ray’s Life was held at Prince George Funeral Service on April 22, 2015.

Donations may be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation, in memory of Raymond LeComte.

COMMUNITY

A trip to Europe and the UK was one Marian’s coping strategies after the death of her husband.

Quesnel Cariboo Observer

Contributed photo

Journey beyond the tears I

f you are reading this and have a spouse who is ill, you know that you are facing separation and ultimately the death of your loved one.

When that happens, you will have to face the tears and loneliness. You will be wondering, “What is next in my life.”

My husband, Earle, died on Dec. 6, 2013 after a lengthy battle with dementia. It was the coldest winter night I can remember.

Weeks after his death, I felt a mixture of sadness and relief. I had been grieving step by step for three years since his diagnosis of vascular dementia. We had been married for 46 years. He was 80 years old.

My counsellor, Karen Lynch, recommended I take time for myself before rushing into any new activity.

I am so grateful for my church friends who encouraged me, brought meals and buoyed me up. TV and movies helped me keep the sadness at bay.

Regular routine and more time helped as did close

contact with family who had come for the funeral.

One of the first things I tackled was cleaning out the porch and from there I tidied up the rest of the house. I disposed of Earle’s clothes and most of his belongings.

As soon as spring came I took a trip back to the UK and Europe to visit my brother and sister, their families and various cousins.

I had begun to think ahead to the rest of my life.

I found an excellent article

by Patricia L. Fry who advised, “If you’re alone and have difficulty adapting, you must first grieve your loss. Then, accept your situation and find a way to adjust. For most of us this means making lifestyle changes.”

Keeping that in mind, I bought a new car – one of the best I’ve ever owned.

Another piece of advice I learned was to “live life as if it’s for real, because it is. The only thing that is temporary is your loneliness.

“This will fade faster if you give value and permanence to your life.

“Recall the activities you once enjoyed when no one was around and do them.”

Eating in front of the TV has become a delightful habit in my life.

Fry advises, “Soaking in bubble baths, sleeping in, puttering in your workshop, keeping your mind occupied with puzzles, writing an article or a novel or taking up painting. Nothing will stop you now.

“Establish a purpose for your life beyond personal activities. What are your interests in the community?

Could you launch a home business? What organization could use your gifts and passions?

“Create a balanced life – one that involves an equal measure of play and work, time with friends and family, time for reflection and spiritual enrichment, and both physical and mental stimulation.”

This advice has reflected how I have come to find joy in my journey beyond the tears.

OPINIONS

All politics The federal budget, brought down by Finance Minister Joe Oliver on Tuesday, is more of a political document than an economic one. This isn’t surprising, with a federal election planned for this October.

The governing Conservatives have made a clear statement of their political philosophy in the document. It contrasts sharply with the campaign platform offered up by the NDP, the Official Opposition.

Meanwhile, the Liberals have yet to release their election platform, and were left on Tuesday mouthing platitudes about how the budget “caters to the rich.” Liberal leader Justin Trudeau made it clear that he won’t support the budget, as he obviously disagrees with its contents.

The Conservative philosophy, as stated in the budget, calls for a multitude of tax breaks, particularly for families with children and seniors. It continues the emphasis on tax reduction and credits that has been part of virtually every Conservative budget since the party was first elected in 2006. It also continued the trend of making multi-year promises, but not funding many of them for years to come.

It is very much in line with the approach taken by the late Jim Flaherty, finance minister from 2006-2014.

The Conservatives claim the budget is balanced, but it is only balanced because of a raid on the reserve fund and the sale of General Motors stock.

Nonetheless, the party does believe in keeping revenue and spending roughly in balance, and it is clearly not a “big government” party.

The NDP, by contrast, have also been clear that their philosophy calls for much more government activity — particularly in the area of child care. Leader Thomas Mulcair has promised that an NDP government would institute $15 per day daycare across Canada, at a cost of about $5 billion.

It also would reverse the Conservative plan which would allow spouses to split income for tax purposes. The NDP decries this as a “break for the rich,” and on Tuesday was also critical of an increase to $10,000 in allowable contributions to Tax Free Savings Accounts each year.

As voters prepare for plenty of political spin and manipulation over the next few months, (to say nothing of intensive advertising campaigns), a focus on the basic philosophies put forward by each party can be helpful in clearing up the confusion.

Quesnel Cariboo Observer

Vanished without a trace

nyone who reads my column every week is aware that our dog Charlie went missing a month ago. What people might not realize is that more than a few dogs in West Kelowna have vanished, and they’ve all been small to medium sized purebreds or purebred mixes.

After viewing the six pets on the handouts circulated by the other owners and I, many people thought there was a criminal dog-ring in town, while others attributed the sudden disappearances to wildlife attacks. We fully admit that we don’t know what happened to ours.

What we do know, however, is that there has been no evidence that would confirm the latter, and we’ve all looked high and low for it.

We’ve also learned that dog flipping – the business of stealing dogs and selling them – is happening all over, including right here in the Okanagan.

Before Charlie went missing, the idea of my pets being nabbed had never crossed my mind. Wildlife and traffic were my big concerns when it came to their safety; never did I consider they might be dognapped. But after talking to almost every owner who’s lost a dog in the Okana-

Lori Welbourne

On A Brighter Note gan recently and finding out just how many people suspect their pet was stolen, or know that they were, I started to investigate.

One of the missing West Kelowna dogs from our handouts is Shylo, a Chihuahua Pomeranian, whose owners live in Glenrosa, like I do. Three days before his mysterious disappearance an unknown middle-aged woman with short red hair had approached Shylo on their porch where he was sitting in the sun. She was holding a bowl of water and quickly fled when she discovered he was not alone.

His family can’t help but wonder if she is the reason he vanished.

Other cases have been more obvious, with people actually seeing their pets being stolen, paying a reward to get them back, or tracking them down at drug dealers’ houses to rescue them.

Sometimes dog theft happens for ransom, but there

are several other reasons as well. Selling to people wanting to pay less for certain breeds who don’t care about the right paperwork or adequate background checks is a common one.

Not having a clue what happened to our pets makes things more difficult because the search for a lost dog is very different from a stolen one. But thieves prefer we don’t know, which is why they’ll leave the gate of a fenced yard open so we think the pooch has merely gotten loose, or why they’ll lurk around waiting for opportunities to snatch a dog by itself.

This past Sunday, some of the other owners and I participated in a large search party along with many supportive friends and strangers to look for our pets and inform the public about lost and stolen dogs. We wanted to encourage them to take notice of unfamiliar people and suspicious behaviour in their neighborhoods and to report anything questionable.

We also urged them to keep their own pets safe by keeping them leashed, not leaving them unattended in front of a store or in an unlocked house, not leaving them alone in a car if possible, and installing locks on fenced yards.

Bobbie, one of the dogs on our flyers, gave us all hope when she arrived home the day before our search party.

After surviving 14 days on the lam, the short-legged little Dachshund came home on her own, skinnier and smelling like a horse among other things.

Farms are an ideal spot for a frightened lost dog to hide out, but so are many typical backyards. Please check your property to see if you’ve got an animal fugitive like Bobbie in your midst, and if you do, don’t chase or scare them away.

If they’re skittish, take a picture and call dog control or the pet’s owner as soon as possible.

And that same advice extends to anyone trying to help an elusive dog seen alone in public. Lying down and encouraging them to come to you works far better than standing tall or even crouching.

And if you haven’t done it already, register, microchip and GPS your pets if you can. The cost is minimal compared to the heartache and financial expenditures we’ve all endured. None of us would wish this experience on anyone.

Tell the whole story Editor: Almost 60 per cent of BC’s land base, including parks and protected areas, is either closed to mine development and mineral exploration or has significant restrictions placed upon it.

For an industry that If you take things contributes significantly a step further, the to the B.C. economy, essentially leaves area of BC covered that only 40 per cent of by registered min- the province available eral titles actually for mineral-based covers less than 12 economic development regardless of where per cent of the prov- mineral deposits might ince’s land area. be located.

If you take things a step further, the area of BC covered by registered mineral titles actually covers less than 12 per cent of the province’s land area. However, the numbers above don’t tell the whole story because the land area actually taken up by mineral exploration and mining activity covers just 0.05 per cent of the province’s land base; and close to half of that 0.05 per cent is reclaimed and rehabilitated land from older, decommissioned mines. In terms of a core resource industry, B.C.’s mining and exploration industry has an incredibly small footprint. Which brings me to my main point: if 60 per cent of BC’s land base is essentially off-limits, how much of our province’s mineral wealth is locked up and economically out of reach? Are there adjustments and accommodations that could reasonably be made to unlock potentially rich mineral deposits? With so much of our province’s land base effectively off-limits to mining and mineral exploration it makes sense to ask these questions and see if there may be a better way, because it would be a shame to leave hundreds upon hundreds of millions of dollars in potential economic activity sitting idle in the ground helping no one.

What am I? The trails behind West Fraser Timber Park are home to interesting growths such as these.

The Observer staff pondered the correct name of said growth but came up with nothing, even a reverse Google image search proved fruitless. If you know what this is, give us a shout, or e-mail: newsroom@quesnelobserver.com.

Get ready for summer with a head shave RCMP Crime Fighters Relay team fundraiser set for April 29 ANNIE GALLANT Observer Reporter

I

f your spring thoughts turn to shaving your head, consider having it done to help Relay For Life Crime Fighters with their fundraising efforts.

For just $20, April 29, 11 a.m. – 1 p.m., in Spirit Square the public can have their head shaved (come on ladies, don’t be shy, bald is beautiful) and enjoy a Mr. Mike’s burger.

“This head shave shows solidarity with cancer victims who often lose their hair with treatments,” retired RCMP officer, cancer survivor and Relay for Life organizer Ray Kinloch said.

“And besides, cops look cool with shaved heads and so can you.”

Crime Fighters have participated in Relay for Life for more than 10 years and this event is one of two cancer fundraisers where RCMP officers are strongly supportive. The

other event is Cops for Cancer.

Officer Krista Vrolyk said participating in Relay for Life provides an opportunity for the local officers to humanize themselves in the community.

“Cancer affects everyone,” she said.

“In the past six years, four people at the Quesnel detachment have been struck by cancer including one officer (Kinloch), two civilian support staff and one auxiliary officer as well as many family members.

“Relay is a great way to give to an important cause in the community we work hard to protect.”

Vrolyk was also quick to praise the ongoing support from the Barbershop on Reid.

“The staff have volunteered their time and equipment since the beginning of this fundraiser along with Mr. Mike’s and we really appreciate their support,” she said.

Although the fundraiser is primarily for head shaving, Vrolyk said they’ll irradiate facial hair (like eyebrows and mustaches) should someone be that brave.

Many RCMP officers are expected to show up for a headshave and Vrolyk added there’s been many challenges issued between officers regarding this fundraiser.

There’s also been a frenzy of sign ups for the team and she said they don’t have any idea how big it will become, but believes the more the merrier.

Plans are underway for their on-site tent but they are been very hush, hush about details.

“It’s top secret,” Vrolyk said.

Many of the favourite aspects of Relay for Life are already in place. The survivor lap and tea, the sale of luminaries honouring those who have fought and won their battle with cancer, those who lost their battle and

those currently fighting.

This year each participant on each team will receive a luminary free as part of their participation.

Wondering about on-site munchies? Food vendors will be there as well as ongoing entertainment on the Friendship Stage throughout the 12-hour event.

There’s still time to sign up a team for Relay for Life. Pick up a package at the Canadian Cancer Society office on Highway 97 South behind the new Fireside Heating offices or visit www.cancer.ca and click on Relay for Life registration.

Teams are made up of 10 – 15 members who each commit to raising a minimum of $100.

Some members of the team must be in LeBourdais Park during Relay with at least one team member on the track at all times.

With a high-energy party atmosphere, Relay for Life is a fun way to spend Saturday, May 30,

This father and son participated in last year’s head shave in support of the RCMP Crime Fighters Relay for Life team.

Skyfest 2015 welcomes the SkyHawks

Precision parachute demo team adds to impressive performance lineup ANNIE GALLANT Observer Reporter

S

kyfest 2015 is thrilled to welcome Canadian Armed Forces Parachute, The SkyHawks to this year’s show.

The SkyHawks are the only Canadian military parachute demonstration team with more than 40 years representing Canadian Armed Forces to more than 75 million spectators worldwide under their signature Canadian flag parachutes.

Bringing their parachutes in close proximity to build formations in the sky, the team puts on a spectacular show. Performing these aerobatic parachute formations requires a high level of skill and courage; and is known as Canopy Relative Work.

Supported by the Canadian army, the SkyHawks are based out of Trenton, Ont. at the Canadian Army Advanced Warfare Centre. There, they train alongside soldiers who helps defend Canadian territory and sovereignty through a wide variety of domestic and overseas missions.

In June 1969, an unofficial team comprised of sport parachute qualified members of the Canadian Airborne Regiment was formed and performed their first show on June 14, 1969.

In 1971, the name SkyHawks was official

bestowed on the team and by 1996 they moved to their new home in Trenton, Ont. After many name changes the SkyHawks remain with the Canadian Parachute Centre which was once again renamed the Canadian Army Advance Warfare Centre.

Each year they perform events across North America and around the world thrilling audiences with their aerobatic parachute formations in the sky.

Supported by the Canadian Army, the SkyHawks are the another showcase of the professionalism, dedication and team work of Canada’s military.

The SkyHawks will be in good company at Skyfest 2015 with two other military demonstration teams, the CF18 crew and the Snowbirds.

Tickets (adult, youth, family and weekend camping package) for Skyfest 2015 are available online at www.quesnelskyfest. ca/tickets.
