RCMP arrest Cedar Avenue suspect

March 18, at 3:31 a.m. the Quesnel RCMP received a report of a man who attended a residence in the 2200 block of Cedar Avenue believed to be armed with a handgun. Police set up a safety perimeter around the residence and evacuated surrounding homes. Around 8:30 a.m. with the Prince George Police Service Dog, members of the North District Emergency Response team, and the Quesnel RCMP present, they were able to have the suspect exit the residence where he was taken into custody without incident or injuries to anyone. The Quesnel RCMP wish to thank the individuals who were evacuated in the surrounding area for their patience and speedy evacuation during this volatile situation. No further information will be released as this time as the investigation is still in its early stages.

Council approves West Quesnel application RYAN GRAHAM Observer Reporter City Council has approved the decision to submit an application to the New Build Canada Small Communities fund for a new production well in the area of Sugarloaf Ball Park in the amount of $1 million with completion by 2017.

The estimated cost of the new production well is $750,000 with the cost of piping the water into the distribution system, not included in the price.

There will also be a contingency of up to 20 per cent that will be included for installation costs which can escalate quickly.

Director of Infrastructure and Capital Works,

Ken Coombs says there is no ceiling on the amount that they could have approved.

“My understanding is if this project is estimated at $1.1 million and that’s what we put the application in for, we in fact could receive the full $1.1 million,” Coombs said.

“I’m a little skeptical to use the million dollar figure that was identified in the 2015 five-year Capital Works Plan.”

In 2012 BC Groundwater investigated the existing ground water supply and had three recommendations for future need that included: rehabilitation of production well (PW7); undertake an environmental assessment on well fields that would lead to an environmental certificate being issued

that allows increased production when needed; and construction of a new production well by 2017.

Coombs said that when the report was written, the author did not realize PW7 had been recently redeveloped and the city is currently in the process of an environmental assessment on our well fields with the goal of obtaining an environmental certificate to pump existing wells (when required) at rates of greater than 75 litres/ second.

With the new production well, the City will meet the maximum day demands and provide redundancy in the event of a well breakdown. Also the City would be in a position to decommission two of the oldest wells in the west region.

Mayor Bob Simpson asked the question if they would accrue any operational savings with the decommissioning of the two wells.

“Very little,” Coombs said.

“We’ve kept those two wells on line for a little bit of redundancy in the system in West Quesnel.

PW3 was installed in 1958 and it fowled right off, so it produces little or no water and PW6 isn’t much better.

“In the event of losing the pipe connecting to West Quesnel over the Moffat bridge we’ve been reluctant to deactivate these wells.

“Once we have a production well in West Quesnel we would take those off line and the new production well would

be an energy efficient system.”

In 2015 the City of Quesnel Capital Works Program included $244,000 for exploratory drilling for a new production well, identified as the Sugar Loaf Ball Park.

The west region was identified as an area of concern because there is only one single water mainline across the Moffat Bridge to provide water to West Quesnel.

Simpson wanted to ensure council they were not voting on the project, merely submitting an application.

“We’re putting in a submission for something that is potentially 100 per cent funding,” Simpson said.

“We also may have to share a portion of

this which is an option as well.

Directing his attention to Corporate and Financial Services director Kari Bolton, Simpson went on to say, “that share would come out of our water reserve, so it’s already in the bank which is a reserve we have for this purpose. What we’re attempting to do here is get someone else to pay for this project and hence you want that buffer.

“That’s why there is such a large contingency because once you get into this project as Director Coombs has pointed out there is going to be unknowns, which will give us the buffer that we need and will cover up to the actual cost of the project.”

Quesnel Community Forest – conceptual options

James Snetsinger, RPF, Senior Advisor from Industrial Forestry Service Ltd., provided a summary of three land base options that were explored for a potential Community Forest for the City of Quesnel.

The three options proposed ranged from a 5 km to a 20 km radius surrounding the City.

Council has a number of objectives for seeking a Community Forest, including managing and developing trail networks, improving the protection of the community from wildfire and potentially realizing an incremental timber supply to feed our local mills.

These objectives would be achievable with a higher level of communitybased management of forestry activities in the community’s interface.

Next steps involve the Mayor presenting the report findings to the Minister of Forests and Council conducting meetings with other elected officials, First Nations and forestry licensees/ stakeholders to discuss potential governance models for a Community Forest.

Ultimately, the City must await final decisions on the new annual allowable cut for the Quesnel timber supply area and the distribution of that cut to existing licensees, both are scheduled to occur by the end of 2016, before the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations can assign any potential timber volume to a new community forest for our community.

The Mayor noted,

Council briefs

however, that this is the first time since the mid-1990s that the City has developed a proposal which has gained support from local licensees provided the province can find incremental timber to include in a community forest tenure surrounding the City.

2015 General Surplus Allocation Council voted in favour of allocating the City’s $209,511 2015 Annual Surplus as follows: $125,000 – Tax Stabilization Reserve $71,975 – Future Tax Sale Purchases $12,536 – Capital Reinvestment Reserve For full details regarding the City’s 2015 Annual Surplus, see the City’s Website at: quesnel. civicweb.net/fileprodo cuments/66410?previ ew=73357

2016 Annual Drinking Water Report The City’s water infrastructure system is comprised of six operating groundwater wells, eight reservoirs, five booster pump stations, two main Pressure Reducing Valve stations, approximately 100 km of water main and one independent groundwater well.

Approximately 10,500 residents are serviced by this system.

Approximately

2,618,910 cubic meters of water was used in 2015; that is a reduction of 332,129 cubic meters from 2014.

The water is tested at its source and monitored in consultation with the Provincial Health Inspector and the Public Health Engineer with the Northern Health Authority and adheres to the British Columbia Drinking Water Regulations.

Water samples are tested for bacteriological, chemical and physical contaminants.

The City exceeds the minimum requirement of 13 samples per month, by sampling 16 individual sites bi-weekly and all reservoirs and wells are tested on a monthly basis.

In 2015, 362 samples were tested for Ecoli and 362 tested for total coliforms.

There were zero exceedences of Ecoli and four exceedences for total coliform.

The results of subsequent re-testing at the site had no detect of coliform.

This article caught the interest of one of our local contributors and although it has no connection to Quesnel or its residents, we thought it might be of interest to our readers.

W

hen baseball greats Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig went on tour in baseball-crazy Japan in 1934, some fans wondered why a third-string catcher named Moe Berg was included. Although he played with five major-league teams from 1923 to 1939, he was a very mediocre ball player.

But Moe was regarded as the brainiest ball player of all time. In fact Casey Stengel once said: “That is the strangest man ever to play baseball.” When all the baseball stars went to Japan, Moe Berg went with them and many people wondered why he went with “the team” Lou Gehrig and Babe Ruth. The answer was simple: Moe Berg was a United States spy, working undercover with the CIA. Moe spoke 15 languages – including Japanese. And he had two loves: baseball and spying.

In Tokyo, garbed in a kimono, Berg took flowers to the daughter of an American diplomat being treated in St. Luke’s Hospital – the tallest building in the Japanese capital. He never delivered the flowers.

The ball-player ascended

to the hospital roof and filmed key features – the harbour, military installations, railway yards, etc.

Eight years later, General Jimmy Doolittle studied Berg’s films in planning his spectacular raid on Tokyo.

His father disapproved and never once watched his son play. In Barringer High School, Moe learned Latin, Greek and French. Moe read at least 10 newspapers everyday.

He graduated magna cum laude from Princeton – having added Spanish, Ital-

ian, German and Sanskrit to his linguistic quiver.

During further studies at the Sorbonne in Paris and Columbia Law School, he picked up Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Indian, Arabic,Portuguese and Hungarian – 15 languages in all, plus some regional dialects.

While playing baseball for Princeton University, Moe Berg would describe plays in Latin or Sanskrit.

Tito’s partisans During World War II, Moe was parachuted into

Yugoslavia to assess the value to the war effort of the two groups of partisans there. He reported back that Marshall Tito’s forces were widely supported by the people and Winston Churchill ordered all-out support for the Yugoslav underground fighters, rather than Mihajlovic’s Serbians.

The parachute jump at age 41 undoubtedly was a challenge. But there was more to come in that same year.

Berg penetrated German-held Norway, met with members of the underground and located a secret heavy-water plant – part of the Nazis’ effort to build an atomic bomb.

His information guided the Royal Air Force in a bombing raid to destroy that plant.

The R.A.F. destroyed the Norwegian heavy water plant targeted by Moe Berg.

There still remained the question of how far had the Nazis progressed in the race to build the first atomic bomb.

If the Nazis were successful, they would win the war. Berg (under the code name “Remus”) was sent to Switzerland to hear leading German physicist Werner Heisenberg, a Nobel Laureate, lecture and determine if the Nazis were close to building an A-bomb. Moe managed to slip past the SS guards at the auditorium, posing as a Swiss graduate student.

The spy carried in his pocket a pistol and a cyanide pill. If the German indicated the Nazis were close to building a weapon, Berg was to shoot him – and then swallow the cyanide pill. Moe, sitting in the front row, determined that the Germans were nowhere near their goal, so he complimented Heisenberg on his speech and walked him back to his hotel.

Werner Heisenberg – he blocked the Nazis from acquiring an atomic bomb.

Moe Berg’s report was distributed to Britain’s Prime Minister Winston Churchill, President Franklin D. Roosevelt and key figures in the team developing the atomic Bomb.

Roosevelt responded: “Give my regards to the catcher.”

Most of Germany’s leading physicists had been Jewish and had fled the Nazis mainly to Britain and the United States.

After the war, Moe Berg was awarded the Medal of Freedom – America ‘s highest honor for a civilian in wartime.

But Berg refused to accept it because he couldn’t tell people about his exploits.

After his death, his sister accepted the Medal. It now hangs in the Baseball Hall of Fame, in Cooperstown.

Quesnel to see two new doctors move to the community

As part of the Province’s work to make sure British Columbians have access to high-quality primary care, 11 internationally-trained physicians will begin practicing in rural and remote communities in B.C., including six family doctors in the North.

Two doctors will practice in Quesnel and one doctor each in Chetwynd, Houston, Fort Nelson and Prince Rupert.

“The Practice Ready Assessment BC program is one of several ways we are strengthening health care in local communities, especially in rural and remote areas of the province,” said Health Minister Terry Lake.

“Doctors in smaller communities provide a broad range of health care in their practices and hospitals that not only support the health and wellness of individuals, but the community as a whole.”

One of the physicians, Dr. Joseph Obanye, who is practicing in Quesnel and completed his 12week assessment in Valemount, calls the Practice Ready Assessment (PRA) “One of the best programs for internationally trained physicians wanting to work in Canada, as it benefits

the patients, the doctor and the community in general,” he said.

Together with his wife, they moved from the U.K., in a move he described as “now or never.”

The PRA program assesses internationally trained physicians for practice in B.C. It is funded for a total of $7.6 million by the Joint Standing Committee on Rural Issues - a collaborative committee of the Ministry of Health and Doctors of BC. It is part of the Province’s strategy to strengthen access to primary care throughout British Columbia. Funding for the program has been extended to March 2018.

“Our collective efforts with Northern Health, the Ministry of Health, northern communities, Doctors of B.C. and other stakeholders to improve health care in the north are starting to show results,” said Mike Bernier, MLA for Peace River South.

“Through this work, we are seeing more doctors discovering the supportive communities of the North where they can establish their practice and homes.”

“I appreciate Dr. Obanye’s decision to move his family to Quesnel to start a

practice here as our community has much to offer,” said Coralee Oakes, MLA for Cariboo North.

“On behalf of Quesnel, I welcome Dr. Obanye, who joins us as one of the two new physicians within our community. This is a huge boost for families in the area.”

“We know that having a regular family doctor is an opportunity for health concerns to be addressed more proactively and can mean better health and wellness for patients,” said Pat Pimm, MLA for Peace River North.

“These new doctors not only bring their education and experience to support their patient’s health, but will also support those doctors already practicing in the area. I know they are warmly welcomed.”

“Congratulations and welcome to each of the doctors starting their new practices in Chetwynd, Quesnel, Houston, Fort Nelson, and Prince Rupert,” said John Rustad, MLA for Nechako Lakes.

“As a life-long Northerner, I encourage you to discover the beauty, diversity and many unique experiences of rural living in your new home communities.”

“This program not only ensures that qualified international doctors are working in rural areas where they are most needed, but the three-year return of service also provides stable access to care for patients,” said Doctors of BC president, Dr. Charles Webb.

“The partnership of Doctors of BC and the provincial government allows us to tackle rural recruitment and retention concerns in a strategic way that benefits patients, physicians and our health care system.”

As part of the program, doctors undergo a rigorous assessment process, spending three months with a B.C. physician who evaluates their skills as they care for patients. Physicians successfully completing the program commit to practice for at least three years in a designated rural community in need. The new physicians will start practicing within the next month.

“I was immediately welcomed with open arms in the community of Valemount.

The community was so warm, so receptive - I’ve worked all over the U.K., from Wales, to Brighton, everywhere and never had the same connection with a community.

The people of Valemount have a heart of gold,” said Dr. Obanye of his first placement.

“I’ve already made so many friends in the northern communities.”

Dr. Obanye anticipates creating the same sense of community as he works with patients in Quesnel.

The province is working with health care providers, health authorities and community agencies on a comprehensive strategy to improve access to integrated primary health care services across the province.

The Practice Ready Assessment program is one component of this strategy.

It also includes the work of more than 30 Divisions of Family

Practice to implement innovative changes that meet the needs of their specific communities, such as recruiting new doctors and preparing for retirements, introducing team-based practices, helping general practitioners increase their capacity to accept new patients, using telehealth, and creating stronger links between family doctors and community support services.

The ministry has also introduced incentives for family doctors to care for more

patients with complex care needs or frailty and is exploring different types of practices in more rural areas, such as Fort St. John.

In addition, the province has introduced community paramedicine - expanding paramedics’ roles to support rural communities with some primary care and is working with the First Nations Health Authority on a number of primary care projects specific to First Nations communities.

CITY COUNCIL NEWS Just Say Hello

As a member of Council in my second term, I feel that we are making good progress towards keeping Quesnel vibrant and sustainable.

Safeway

We know that the future is always uncertain and we are definitely in a period of transition, in which we will have to depend less on heavy industry and more on our own ingenuity and creativity. We are currently finding ways to hold our population steady, with the potential to grow, by making our community more attractive to people who are contemplating living in Quesnel.

with Lee-Anne Williams B.Sc. (Pharm)

What I am actually going on about, is making a collective decision to be as friendly a place to come to, as possible.

CAPSULE COMMENTS Younger Onset Dementia (YOD) is defined as dementia occurring in people under the age of 65. This isn’t necessarily Alzheimer’s since there are over a hundred different types of dementia. Causes of YOD can be excessive alcohol consumption, head injuries and stroke. But you can help prevent YOD by educating the brain by learning new skills to keep the brain cells active.

If you aren’t doing well with those New Years resolutions you made, try choosing one of them and work on that one. If that resolution involves changing a habit (like cutting out sugar from your diet), keep at it. It takes about 30 days to change a habit. Stick to it and you’ll be a winner.

We often hear that we should walk 10,000 steps a day for good health. As with many goals, starting with a lower number is often better. In fact, 7,500 steps is a pretty good goal and equates to what health professionals called “moderate activity”. So get one of those pedometers, and start walking.

You’ll be surprised that 7,500 steps is not too hard to achieve.

March is Nutrition Month in Canada. The emphasis this year is to make small changes in your eating habits one meal at a time. It could be adding another veggie to your meal or adding fish a couple of times a week. It could be having a good ][breakfast every day. Whatever it is, choose a goal and stick to it.

I think the way to do this is simple. When you meet a person on the street, or any place really, smile and say hello, or good morning. If as a community we start and make this a habit we will all realize very real benefits to our daily lives and our sense of wellbeing. Imagine the effect this will have on potential new residents, if in their travels around Quesnel, people keep saying “HELLO” to them. Do you think the sense of welcoming and friendly place to live might be enhanced?

Let’s start today. Oh, and if you are in business and a person shops in your store, when you see them on the street the next day, don’t look through them like they don’t exist. It really takes no effort to acknowledge each other in a friendly way.

Have a fun and safe Easter Holiday.

B.C. presses for LNG approval after delay

TOM FLETCHER Black Press The B.C. government has sent officials to Ottawa to help work through the latest delay in the Pacific Northwest LNG project at Prince Rupert, a 90-day extension requested by the federal regulator to study fisheries impact.

Rich Coleman, B.C.’s minister for natural gas development, said Monday he hopes to “overcome the delay” in approval of the Petronas-backed liquefied natural gas project that applied for federal environmental assessment more than two years ago.

“I’m confident that any remaining questions can be answered completely and quickly,” Coleman said in a statement. “They have to be. Jobs for British Columbians should not be held by unnecessary delays.”

Coleman said the the $36 billion plant and pipeline would be the largest private investment in Canadian history, equivalent to four Site C dams, five Olympic games or 11 Port Mann bridge projects.

The much smaller Woodfibre LNG project at a former pulp mill site near Squamish received federal environmental approval last week.

Federal Environment Minister Catherine McKenna announced Friday that the Woodfibre project has been found unlikely to cause significant adverse environmental effects. The project received provincial approval in October 2015 after a joint review coordinated by B.C. The Pacific North project got a boost last week when the Lax Kwa’laams Band council reversed its opposition to a terminal at Lelu Island, notifying McKenna that it would support the plan with two conditions.

McKenna granted the extension at the request of the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency, which asked Pacific Northwest for more information on effects of in-water construction activities at Flora Bank, an important salmon-rearing area for the Skeena River.

Fort St. John and Fort Nelson last week to urge the federal government to approve LNG projects to provide an export market for B.C. gas.

A glut of natural gas across North America has brought drilling activity in northeastern B.C. gas fields to a near-halt, with a recent sale of drilling rights by the B.C. government attracting no sales for the first time in the industry’s 50year history.

Energy Minister Bill Bennett said northeast coal mines idle in addition to a slump in gas activity.

“The two communities up there that are probably the worst off are Tumbler Ridge and Fort Nelson,” Bennett said. “Folks in the Lower Mainland are typically shielded from the ups and downs of the natural

resource industries, but if you live in Fort Nelson or Tumbler Ridge or Cranbrook or Williams Lake, you’re not shielded.

You feel it.”

Premier Christy Clark said the federal government is looking closely at the economic impact of LNG development, with Alberta, Saskatchewan and Newfoundland’s oil industries also hurting.

“Over 30 years, 100,000 jobs and a trillion dollars potentially in GDP growth, that’s a big number,” Clark said.

“If they’re thinking about First Nations, they will spend some time thinking about all of the First Nations members who have signed agreements to support LNG, who will be part of building LNG, the environmental stewards.”

Endless possibilities Three separate car crashes claimed five young lives – including that of a Langley teen – and put several more in jeopardy during one of the deadliest weekends on B.C. roads in recent memory.

In Vernon, two women, both 21, were killed March 6, when a pickup carrying five people missed a curve and rolled. Speed and alcohol are both considered factors in that tragedy.

Two days earlier in Cranbrook, two young men aged 17 and 19 were killed when their pickup struck a tree.

And March 5 in Mission, 15-yearold Lidia Ramos of Langley was killed when the car she was in failed to negotiate a turn on a slippery road and slid down an embankment. Speed is cited as the likely reason the car left the road.

But whatever the cause of each crash, the result is the same. Five more lives have been needlessly lost, and their families are now facing the future without a beloved child.

“Think about the passengers you have with you,” pleaded Lidia’s mother, Angela. “There’s no need to speed.

No one needs to lose their child or sibling.”

It’s a simple message, but one that doesn’t always get through.

Car crashes remain the leading cause of death among teenagers, and onethird of crashes involving 16- and 17-year-old drivers occur between the hours of 9 p.m. and 6 a.m., when fewer drivers are out on the roads.

According to BCAA, drivers aged 16 to 19 in Canada have a fatality rate nine times as high as that of drivers aged 45 to 54.

Whether it’s a sense of invincibility or an inability to connect action and consequence without first-hand experience, it’s hard to say.

What we do know is that the deaths leave many other big questions unanswered.

Who and what could these young people have become? What might they have accomplished, given the chance?

Alternatives to urban drug ghetto M

y recent columns on B.C.’s struggle with the growing westward migration of transients have produced responses that fall mainly into two groups.

The largest is people relieved that somebody is questioning the urban media narrative. That’s the one where drifters, drug addicts, welfare shoppers and thieves are the victims, and working people whose hard-earned communities are being degraded are the problem because of their selfish, uncaring attitudes.

Then there are readers so marinated in our nannystate education, media and political system they object to anything other than a big-government response.

They tend to ask, what’s your solution, Tom? As someone who has lost one relative to heroin addiction and almost lost another, I reflect on the history of successful addiction treatment. That is one of detox and abstinence.

That’s why I oppose the failed model of Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside, where resources are poured into concentrated housing and “harm reduction” that perpetuate addiction, handouts

B.C. Views and helplessness. Housing Minister Rich Coleman is rolling this out in other communities, in what I fear is an effort to paper over the problem for an election year.

The Globe and Mail recently profiled a methamphetamine addict enrolled at Onsite, the belated treatment addition to Vancouver’s Insite supervised injection site. It was his fifth try, which may have something to do with the fact that when he walks outside he is in the middle of Canada’s biggest street drug bazaar.

Contrast that with a facility called Baldy Hughes, a therapeutic community 30 km outside Prince George. It’s a working farm, designed to provide a year-long program of abstinence-based therapy and meaningful work.

It uses the traditional 12step program developed by

agency that runs the growing network of shelters in the area?

He described himself as a former Edmonton resident who was hitch-hiking around, going from shelter to shelter and ending up camped in the squat. He was impressed by the tidy room with three meals a day he was being given, in a “low barrier” facility where booze and drugs are brought in, no questions asked.

What he was really looking forward to, in addition to accommodations, was an opportunity to kick back and play his favourite video game. That would be Grand Theft Auto, where your character runs around stealing cars, escaping police and meeting with criminal gangs. It’s popular with adolescents, which these days means anyone under 30.

This is where your tax dollars are going. Waves of people come in, with key trouble spots being communities on the major highways coming into the Lower Mainland.

There’s a greenhouse for winter farming, livestock to tend and the residents have designed and built a new horse stable. There’s also a beekeeping project. Residents can complete their high school education, take first aid training and learn basic computer skills.

What they can’t do is leave unescorted during their treatment program. They can’t bring drugs, alcohol, weapons or phones with them.

It’s a costly program, with a small number of spaces available on referral from B.C.’s social development ministry. Others can finance it with the help of medical employment insurance.

I mention this not to suggest it is a solution for every community, but to compare it with what the B.C. government is spending millions on.

Published by Black Press Ltd. 188 Carson Avenue Quesnel, BC, V2J 2A8

Never so proud to be a Quesnelite Editor: I had the privilege of experiencing the most amazing event which was reported in the March 16 issue.

I didn’t expect such a large crowd, the beautiful table settings and décor and the food – 33 varieties.

I tried the African peanut soup and one other – both very delicious.

I enjoyed the quiet guitar music while we ate and visited.

The ensemble gave us familiar songs with meaningful words. The young couple who sang later blended their voices so well.

Leija Muratsphahic told us her very moving story of her experience during the war in Bosnia – her home countryand we couldn’t help connecting it to what the Syrian people have been experiencing.

Christine Kimmie twice presented her poetry which seemed to come from deep in her compassionate soul and many made use of the Kleenex packets on each table.

All I could think of was what a great heartache these Syrian families are experiencing.

Dorine Lamarche, a life-coach, seemed to grasp how Canadians have such mixed feelings about the people coming to our communities but she told us that kindness will be the key and that we “can’t pour from an empty cup.” Compassion can overcome any fear we may have of each other and Dorine stressed that “It’s not us and them” We are all part of the human experience.

I cannot remember ever being as proud of my city as I was that night and I look forward to the next opportunity we will have to contribute to our own Syrian family.

Well done indeed Amy, Amanda and Jannette and all the cooks and participants.

RCMP respond to community calls for crime reduction and safer streets Q

ANNIE GALLANT Observer Reporter

uesnel RCMP is dedicated to prolific offenders and social chronic offenders management at the street level along with partnerships with community resources.

“About five per cent of the populations commits about 80 per cent of the crime in a community,” Quesnel’s Crime Reduction Unit’s Constable Lorne Smith said.

Prolific offenders are defined as adult offenders with an established pattern of persistent Criminal Code and/or Controlled Drugs and Substances Act offences; who are identified by current intelligence to be criminally active: and assessed by police or partner agencies as medium to high risk to re-offend.

Social chronic offenders are those individuals who are heavy consumers of police time (e.g. vagrancy, public drunkenness, cause disturbance) but not typically due to criminal behaviour.

They may be dealing with addiction or mental health issues and are best dealt with in a multi-agency case management approach. The detachment crime reduction coordinator maintains communication between police and partner agencies to assure the offender’s needs are effectively being addressed.

The crimes committed by prolific offenders and social chronic offenders is just the tip of the iceberg with many underlying factors contributing to their behaviour.

The community at large was looking for more effective tools to manage prolific offenders and social chronic offenders. Through partnerships in the community the RCMP play a vital role in helping rehabilitate those willing to change their behaviour.

The Crime Reduction Unit (CRU) in Quesnel has two officers dedicated to identifying and managing prolific offenders and social chronic offenders.

offender.”

Team meetings are held monthly with adult services including drug and alcohol counselling, probation, housing, mental health counselling and other relevant services.

“Serving the offender with the document serves two purposes,” Smith said.

“First it identifies to the offender what programs and services are available and that the community and the police have identified them and secondly it holds the community and RCMP accountable for the programs offered.”

“We’ve seen some real success,” Smith said.

“It’s our intention to assist the offender in choosing a better way of life.

“Once we no longer see the offender committing crimes, we have reasonable confidence the plan is working.”

For those who refuse to seek the help offered, officers continue with traditional police action including arrest and detention, targeted surveillance and providing relevant, up-to-date data (offender’s history) which supports appropriate stiffer sentencing through the Criminal Justice System.

“This helps the court system do their job and substantiates the public’s wants and needs,” Smith said.

“RCMP officers see the revolving door on prolific offenders and social chronic offenders and we want to see success with these people. We want to be off the list of top crime communities in Canada.”

The work the CRU is doing also assists other officers in their duties as they are very familiar with prolific offenders and social chronic offenders. They also share information with other jurisdictions as offenders will travel outside Quesnel.

“We want them to understand its not okay to commit crimes anywhere.”

RCMP detachments throughout the province have crime reduction units and are following guidelines in implementing the prolific and social chronic offender management program.

An Evening of Nostalgia

A

n Evening of Nostalgia on February 27th was a night to remember!

Quesnel’s very own fantastic singing group “After Eight” outdid themselves as they sang songs from yesteryear to a delighted audience. Special guests that night included veterans from World War II and their toes were tapping to tunes to which they once danced.

Those veterans were the guests of the Branch as the Air Cadets, the Pipe Band, the Branch Executive, the Ladies Auxiliary and Branch #94 bought tickets for them to show their appreciation of all that they have done for them – more than 70 years ago!

As emcee Peter Walsh introduced the honoured guests, there was a round of applause as each one was acknowledged which included wives and widows.

The evening started with cocktails amid smiles and greetings, followed by those introductions. A sumptuous meal, prime rib and all the trimmings, cooked by long-time Legion members Dave

A packed house enjoyed an Evening of Nostalgia. and Edna Mackie was enjoyed by all.

The home-made cherry cheesecake just topped it all off!

This delightful plated dinner was served by 768 Jet Ranger Air Cadet Squadron, under the direction of Civilian Volunteer Robert Douillard.

Nothing like a man in uniform, white gloves and all, to add to the enjoyment of a sumptuous meal.

Mementos for the evening were handmade by Doug Carey with all proceeds to General Revenue for Branch#94. There are still a few items left for sale if you are looking for something a little different. Stop in at the Branch to pick up a very unique memento of days gone by.

Aspiring photographer Jolene McRae was busy taking pictures of guests, Cadets, and any one and everyone who wanted

It is with great sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Heather Takahashi on Wednesday, March 16, 2016.

Heather will be deeply missed by her husband Ted, daughter Kimiko (Will Harrower), son Derek (Nicole Russell), mother Jean Kodiak, father Leon Kodiak, sisters Sally Buller, Susan Vachon (Brian), Cindy Amos (John), brothers Melvin Coldwell (Janet) and Ben Coldwell (Sharon), in-laws, aunts, an uncle, nieces, nephews, cousins and many dear friends. Heather was pre-deceased by her brother Mike Kodiak (Lori Sutherland).

Heather was a caring, loving wife, mother, daughter, sister, aunt and friend. She loved playing softball, fishing, gardening, vacations and motherhood - arts and crafts with her children and attending their sports and cultural events.

Heather had the best sense of humour and could make us all laugh with her ability to see the funny side and joy in everyday life.

After enjoying a delicious meal, guests were entertained by After Eight who sang such songs as Sentimental Journey, 26 Miles/Big Man Yesterday and the perennial favourites I’ll Be Seeing You, What’ll I Do, the White Cliffs of Dover and In Flanders’ Fields. In all, After Eight sang more than 17 songs and every one of them was well-received!

The obvious enjoyment of the ensemble comes through with every song and the banter and introductions. The audience picked up on this and laughed along with them.

Dora Laurent is in tune with her body and keeps track of everything it tells her.

Annie Gallant photo

Dora Laurent is a woman who knows her body and listens to what it tells her ANNIE GALLANT Observer Reporter

D

ora Laurent listens to her body. It tells her mostly everything she needs to know and she most definitely listens.

When she was smoking she experienced severe headaches, Dora knew her body was telling her to quit and she did. She also quit drinking in 1994.

So when her body started to feel poorly in August 2010 (started on Friday, by Saturday she couldn’t lay down, couldn’t breath) she went to the doctor.

“He prescribed antibiotics for my lungs and sent me for X-rays,” she said.

“But it didn’t show anything. For the next three months I was at the doctors every two weeks.”

With nothing surfacing, in November she was sent for a biopsy of her cervix and on Jan. 4, 2011 Dora got the news it was a rare type of cervical cancer.

“I cried for two hours

then had a talk with myself,” she said.

“If I hadn’t listened to my body and persisted for a proper diagnosis, this might not have been detected.”

Her very next call was to a Prince George oncology nurse. Dora demanded an immediate appointment and also insisted on the best doctors.

“The nurse was great, she set me up for surgery Jan. 27 but before they could perform the surgery they found the cancer had spread to my lymph nodes. Two days later I began four days of radiation and one day of chemotherapy. That lasted for six weeks.”

However, the last week was internal radiation which left Dora unable to sense when she needed to urinate.

“It was awful, the first three months I couldn’t leave the house. It lasted for an entire year.”

Ready to get on with her life, Dora signed up for a Women in Trades program and then secured

a job up north. Four weeks into the job, she found blood in her urine and called her specialist in Vancouver. The entire time, from when she first felt off in 2010 to finding the most recent problem, until she was heading to PG in 2012, Dora kept track of her health, noting anything out of the ordinary.

“I hustled back from my job to Quesnel to catch the Northern Health bus to Prince George where tests confirmed the cervical cancer was back.

“I’m not afraid of dying but when I thought about my grandkids I agreed to the surgery.”

On May 2, 2013 Dora

had a hysterectomy where they removed everything including lymph nodes.

“I was left with a colostomy bag.”

When they asked her to get up after surgery Dora refused until they took her off all the medications she was on.

“I wanted to know where the pain was, I know my body,” she said.

She still wasn’t satisfied until they admitted she had a pain medication implant in her back and out it came.

Still concerned her body wasn’t healing as she knew it could, Dora demanded of the doctors to tell her what else they had done to her. Baffled

by her question, it wasn’t until they told her they’d given her two pints of blood during the 12-hour surgery, that she settled down, at least she knew what her body was trying to tell her.

Now, almost three years later, Dora says she’s cancer free – for now.

All her life she has relied on her native heritage to guide and protect her.

Every day she gives an offering to the spirits to keep those she cares about and herself safe.

She was a tree-planter for 15 years and started every day with an offering.

“Things went wrong when I forgot the offerings. These offerings help me even today, I say a prayer and offer whatever I have and lay it by a tree.”

She’s looking forward to her next six-month checkup in April and hopes she’s still cancerfree.

Relay for Life, May 27, is a celebration of people like Dora who are currently living cancer-

free and a memorial for those who lost their battle with cancer.

This year, Relay is on Friday, 5 – 11 p.m. in Baker Creek Park.

Watch for details of how you can get involved, form a team (register online www.relay.ca/ quesnel) volunteer, drop by and encourage those participating or join in the fun. The public is invited to join the many teams already busy fundraising for a community dinner during Relay (by donation) and enjoy many fun and healthy activities. People are also encouraged to gather friends, co-workers, family, sports groups and anyone else to join a team and raise funds for the Canadian Cancer Society research and services.

Don’t have a team? Just call Deb Burton 250-2558225 and she’ll help put you in touch with a team you can join. Don’t want to be on a team? Stop by the Baker Creek Park and join in the fun activities.

Everyone is welcome.

epilepsy

awareness month

march 26th is global

purple day

Epilepsy affects 70 million people worldwide and 1 in 100 in Canada... There are MORE THAN TWICE AS MANY with epilepsy in Canada as the number of people with cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy, multiple sclerosis, and cystic fibrosis COMBINED. World Health Organization states epilepsy as a worldwide serious health concern, accounting for 1% of the global burden of disease - equivalent to lung cancer in men and breast cancer in women.

In 2014 epilepsyQuesnel (eQ) put our city on the map in a vital provincial endeavour for those with epilepsy and the VGH SEIZURE INVESTIGATION UNIT (SIU). The SIU provides testing for answers which cannot be found through any other avenue, and though BC has over 32,000 adults with epilepsy, there are only 2 SIU beds. eQ’s fundraising is to help VGH Epilepsy Clinic’s current goal of beds 3 and 4.

Purple Day March 26th started in 2008 when recently-diagnosed Cassidy Megan of Nova Scotia asked her principal if she could organize a day where students wore shades of purple. Within four years it became celebrated internationally, and on June 28, 2012, the PURPLE DAY ACT in Canada (Bill C-278) received Royal Assent. March 26th became an annual law in our country, all due to the efforts of a nine-year-old child who refused to stay in the dark.

Cassidy is now 17 and Purple Day is recognized ACROSS 70 COUNTRIES.

Thank you Quesnel for helping bring PEACE OF MIND to this common neurological disease.

Quesnel athletes shine bright on the big stage RYAN GRAHAM Observer Reporter Quesnel Special Olympics made the city proud when they competed at nationals March 1 – 5 in Corner Brook, Newfoundland with all eight athletes coming back with at least one medal.

The results at nationals matched their performance at the Provincial Games in February 2015 in Kamloops, where the team of 12 athletes also won at least one medal each.

This year’s team included Cory Melnychuk in cross-country skiing, Cherie Swaan and Danny Dodgson in snowshoeing and the curling team of Glenda Melnychuk, Travis Burt, Martin Scriver, Dean Cake and Alfred Schotel.

In snowshoeing Swaan finished fourth in the 100-metre, won silver in the 200-metre and also recorded a personal best time of 1:03.

Dodgson won bronze in the 100-metre with a time of 15.5 and won silver in the 200-metre finishing with a time of 33.20.

Cory finished fifth in the 500-metre and won bronze in the 100-metre in cross county. Quesnel’s Team BC Lightning(curling) won gold in the D division, winning all four of their games against Newfoundland, BC Islanders, Quebec and again the Islanders in the final.

The first game against the Islanders Quesnel was down 5-3 in the final end before Glenda delivered a crucial shot, as she took out the Islanders stone with her last rock, scoring three as Quesnel took the victory.

Against Quebec they scored three in the second last end to tie the game and then Glenda would make another decisive shot to win the game.

The finals saw both B.C. teams battle it out to see who would win bragging rights as the top team in B.C. and also to see who would end up going home with the gold.

Going into the final end Quesnel was up one and kept the pressure on the Islanders, as their skip would miss a critical shot which allowed Quesnel to win gold.

B.C. Lions come to Quesnel to speak to youth RYAN GRAHAM Observer Reporter

Correlieu and Quesnel Junior students were visited by three members of the Canadian Football League’s B.C. Lions March 10, when they talked about the Be More Than A Bystander program.

The campaign is an initiative aimed at increasing the understanding of the impact of violence against women and respectful relationships.

It was introduced in 2011 as a partnership between the BC Lions and the Ending Violence Association of BC (EVA BC), which focuses on four issues: Developing a broad public awareness of the issues featuring BC Lions players, develop a curriculum and teaching materials for school programs and to train BC Lions to deliver presentations in schools throughout Left to Right : Fullback Rolly Lumbala, offensive linemen T-Dre Player and Community Relations Coordinator Sean B.C.

March 20 - 26, 2016 ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20 A positive attitude may help you overcome any challenges that come your way this week, Aries.

Maintain this positivity and things will ultimately work out for the best.

TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, offer others positive feedback when they deserve it. Your willingness to give credit where it’s due is why others find you so easy to work with.

GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, others will be very receptive to your fresh ideas this week. Be prepared to explain these ideas in as much detail as possible and enjoy the fruits of your labors.

CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, some good news is just over the horizon.

Resist the temptation to celebrate prematurely, but don’t be surprised when Lady Luck breaks your way.

LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 A number of opportunities are coming your way in the near future, Leo. Just get ready to take advantage of these chances when opportunity knocks. It rarely knocks twice.

VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Relationships are on your mind, Virgo. You are anxious to show loved ones how much you care for them, and they will respond in kind.

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, you have plenty on your plate lately, but you also have to find a way to fit in some time for rest.

Running at a frantic pace is a recipe for burn-out.

SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, let go of some of the responsibilities you have recently taken on. Trust that others around you can handle these tasks just as capably. Enjoy the extra free time. You earned it.

SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, even though the world has lately presented plenty of twists and turns, you can still enjoy the ride. Keep an open mind to all new opportunities.

AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 Focusing on one thing is a tricky proposition this week, Aquarius. You have a lot of things on your mind, but do your best to maintain focus. Take breaks, if necessary.
