With an investment of $6 million in connecting Gold Pan homes with fibre optic, TELUS rep-resentatives and city of-ficials spoke to the net-work’s benefits.
“The city recognizes the tremendous benefits that fibre connectivity will bring to residents and businesses and we wel-come this investment by TELUS,” Mayor Bob Simpson said during the official announcement Monday at LeBourdais Park.
“During the OurQues-nel sustainability plan-ning process we heard that the community felt better connectivity would enable a higher quality of life for our residents and support our community goals towards economic success and sustainabil-ity.”
TELUS said the $6 mil-lion investment connects more than 90 per cent of Gold Pan homes and businesses directly to its fibre optic network. Work began last summer and is expected to wrap up by the end of this year.
“Direct fibre connec-tion unleashes infinite possibilities,” TELUS ex-ecutive vice-president and president of broadband networks, Tony Geheran said.
“This investment will allow Quesnel’s resource sector to tap directly into the most advanced technology in the world, supporting a thriving lo-cal economy as business draw upon new band-width and capacity to in-novate and adapt.
“It will also allow lo-cal healthcare providers and educators to revolu-tionize how they provide critical services, right here in Quesnel.”
TELUS also spoke to its commitment to the communities they serve, noting since inception in 2007, the TELUS B.C. North Community Ac-tion team has donated more than $225,000 in support of 94 local chari-table projects throughout the North, including Big Brothers Big Sisters of Quesnel.
“Quesnel is a world class community that features the head offices of West Fraser and C&C Wood Products and a number of other businesses,” MLA for Cariboo North Co-ralee Oakes said.
“This funding will en-able dramatically faster Internet speeds and bet-ter access to more op-portunities, information, resources and services for our residents and our businesses. I wish to thank TELUS for mak-ing this significant invest-ment.”

Special Events for All FREE Non-StopEntertainment in LeBourdais Park
Specialist services are seeing an expansion in Quesnel as physicians choose to practice in the community. Over the last two years, the community has been able to recruit a psy-chiatrist, Dr. Hezekiah Agboji, providing a new service to Quesnel and a replacement ear, nose, and throat specialist, Dr. Lalenthra Naidoo.
“We know that in some areas of the province recruit-ment can be a challenge and that’s why it is great news that Quesnel has been able to attract specialist physicians to support patients in the community,” Health Minister Terry Lake said.
”The recruitment of Drs. Ag-boji and Naidoo are examples of the successes that we are seeing across the province as we work closely with our partners to improve access to primary and specialist care.”
“We know it is important for residents to have access to the care they need as close to home as possible and that is why we have worked hard at a community level in partner-ship with the health authority, municipality and local doctors to recruit physicians to this region,” Coralee Oakes, MLA for Cariboo North, said.
“Recruiting these specialist physicians to live and work in our community is great news for local families.”
An ear, nose, and throat physician manages and treats disorders of the head and neck including the ears, nose and throat.
A psychiatrist plays a piv-otal role in partnership with the local mental health and addictions team in provid-ing assistance to community members facing mental health and addiction challenges.
“Specialist physicians work in collaboration with family physicians and other health care professionals to ensure a patient receives a comprehen-sive assessment and follow-up,” Dr. Helene Smith, the local chief of staff in Quesnel said.
“Having these specialists as members of our health care team in Quesnel helps with the range of services we can offer to residents.”
In addition to these two specialists, Quesnel is also home to internal medicine and surgical services. A second internist will join the team in August 2015.
Internal specialists provide care to people with heart and
lung disease, metabolic ab-normalities, liver and kidney disease.
“The Cariboo Chilcotin Regional Hospital District continues to be a strong part-ner in enhancing health care services in our region,” John Massier, Cariboo Chilcotin Regional Hospital District chair said.
“We, along with other key community partners, want to help ensure that the appropri-ate equipment is available for medical professionals in Ques-nel, including specialists.”
“I am proud of the work that has been undertaken by the local physicians and Northern Health to expand specialty services in Quesnel,” Mayor Bob Simpson said.
“Council will continue to work proactively with the local physicians, Northern Health, the Province of B.C., and other community part-ners to recruit physicians to Quesnel.”
Ensuring appropriate equip-ment and supports can play a role in recruiting specialists and physicians to the commu-nity. These have been provid-ed through Northern Health capital funding

Effective noon Thursday, July 2, Category 2 and Category 3 open fires will be prohibited throughout the Cariboo Fire Centre to help prevent human-caused wildfires and protect public safety.
Anyone conducting Category 2 or 3 fires anywhere in the Cariboo Fire Centre must extinguish any such fires by noon July 2.
This prohibition will remain in place until September 30, 2015, or until the public is otherwise notified.
Specifically, prohibited activities include:
• the burning of any waste, slash or other materials
• stubble or grass fires of any size over any area
• the use of fireworks, including firecrackers
• the use of sky lanterns, tiki torches, or burning barrels or burning cages of any size or description
• the use of binary exploding targets
• the use of air curtain burners (forced-air burning systems)
The Cariboo Fire Centre is experiencing
drier-than-normal conditions and elevated fire danger ratings. These prohibitions are being implemented due to current weather conditions and the long-range forecast.
The Cariboo Fire Centre stretches from Loon Lake near Clinton in the south to the Cottonwood River near Quesnel in the north and from Tweedsmuir Provincial Park in the west to Wells Gray Provincial Park in the east. For a map of affected areas within the Cariboo Fire Centre, please visit: http://bit.ly/1Hr7Lpb
This prohibition does not ban campfires that are a half-metre high by a half-metre wide or smaller, and it does
not apply to cooking stoves that use gas, propane or briquettes.
This prohibition applies to all BC Parks, Crown lands and private lands, but does not apply within the boundaries of a local government that has forest fire prevention bylaws in place and is serviced by a fire department. Please check with local government authorities for any other restrictions before lighting any fire.
Anyone found in contravention of an open burning prohibition may be issued a ticket for $345, required to pay an administrative penalty of $10,000 or, if convicted in court, fined up to $100,000 and/or sentenced to
one year in jail. If the contravention causes or contributes to a wildfire, the person responsible may be ordered to pay all firefighting and associated costs.
To report a wildfire, unattended campfire or an open burning violation, call 1 800 663-5555 toll-free or dial *5555 on a cellphone.

Generous donationsfrom A2
and the Cariboo Chilcotin Regional Hospital District, and supplemented by private dona-tions, the Quesnel Hospital Auxiliary, and Spirit of the North Healthcare Foundation.
“We’re grateful for the generous contribu-tions for groups that fundraise to enhance health care in Quesnel,” Northern Health’s Quesnel health services administrator, Debbie Strang said.
“Over the last four years, $5.5 million in donations and capital funding has helped improve services at G.R. Baker Hospital in Quesnel. It is this community spirit that helps keep us an attractive community to practice.”
“It is great to have a fantastic team of spe-cialists and general practitioners in Quesnel, it makes it an enjoyable place to work,” Dr. Dietrich Fürstenburg, Chief of staff in Quesnel said.
“I chose to come to Quesnel for my family and myself, and the opportunity definitely is well worth it. I feel fortunate to be afforded an opportunity to practice medicine as a full ser-vice GP in a rural community with the appro-priate specialist support when the need arises.
Access to specialist services is available through a referral from a general practitioner.

Spotlight
You can see the signs on lawns, here and there from Deep Bay through Nanoose Bay.
‘We Vote CBC’ they say.Presumably, the people who present
these signs want more tax-dollar support for the public broadcaster, because the last time we checked there are no candidates running in the federal election representing a CBC party.
At the very least, perhaps this campaign, if that’s what it is, will put a spotlight on the future of the public broadcaster. Or maybe it’s always in the spotlight, a national obsession that garners passionate debate once in a while, like the re-occurring spectre of Quebec separation.
Imagine being the owner of a little TV station in a small or medium-sized Canadian city. Owned by large national company or not, these outlets are asked to sink or swim on their own.
Your advertising reps are working hard to bring dollars into the station, money that supports quality programming and feeds the families of the camera operators, on-air personnel, clerical staff, ad reps, newsroom staff, etc. The retail outlets your rep visits only have so much money to spend in advertising, ie. a marketing budget.
Your rep hears that his/her station will get part of that budget, but some of it will go to the local CBC-TV outlet. Then, later in the day, you sign the cheque going to the Receiver General of Canada, or you pay the GST on something you purchase. Some of that money is going to help subsidize your competition.
Is that fair? Absolutely not.It’s time to drastically change the model
that is public broadcasting in this country. In the U.S. where the population is 10 times greater than Canada, National Public Radio (NPR) and the Public Broadcasting System also get subsidies from the federal government, but roughly half of the $1 billion the CBC gets in taxpayer money every year in this country. The NPR and PBS — which have great programming, it has to be said — rely heavily on the donations of its listeners and viewers.
Cuts to the amount of taxpayer money the CBC receives is not a sole domain of the current government. The Liberals were doing it before the Conservatives. Another advantage of taking the CBC out of the public trough would be the elimination of government, read political, oversight and interference.
So, how about a sign that says “We Vote for a CBC that is Self-Sufficient and Free of Political Interference”?
–Black Press
Last week I was interviewed by a newspaper reporter
for the “Stop Dog Theft” event I was planning and he asked for a picture of me with our beloved pup who’s been missing since March. Before I even started looking I warned him the chances weren’t good.
I knew I had tons of photos from the last five years of Charlie with his sister, and with our children, but even though I was with the dogs the majority of the time, I wasn’t sure if I’d ever had my picture taken with either one of them. After reviewing thousands of images in my computer, I was disappointed that I couldn’t find any.
A few weeks before that I went through a similar exercise when it was the birthday of my dearly departed mother and I wanted to post a picture on Facebook of me alone with her. I could only find two, and neither one was great.
Since my daughter’s birthday was approaching
I also started looking for photos of just her and I together and wasn’t able to find many.
“Remind me to give you the camera,” I told my husband when he came home that night. “I’m in hardly any of our pictures with the kids and they’re going to be saddened by that one day.”
“You’ve mentioned that before,” he said.
“The problem is you never like getting your picture taken.”
He was right. I don’t, and I almost always object. I know all too well that taking pictures of someone who’s trying to avoid the camera isn’t fun or easy.
My 14 year old son, Sam has become one of those people.
He didn’t used to be like that. He used to be like his 12 year old sister, Daisy who hams it up whenever the camera’s on her. But in the last few years he’s quick to hide his face and I’ve noticed most of his friends do the same.
“No, mom,” he’ll say behind his hands whenever I attempt to take his picture. “Later.”
He must have learned that from me.
Now I threaten I won’t leave him alone until he lets me get a good shot. I also promise not to post any images online without his approval.
“One day you’ll be happy you have these photos of you with your friends,” I said to him and his buddies while they complained about us parents taking their pictures at middle school graduation a couple weeks ago.
Now I need to get myself out from behind the camera
and in front of it once in awhile. I can’t worry about not looking good enough either. Good enough for what?
My kids aren’t going to care if I’m not picture perfect any more that I cared if my mother was.
They’ll just be happy to have photos of themselves with their dear old mom. Of course they’ll want them with their dad, relatives, teachers, friends and dogs as well, but I’ve done a decent job providing them with plenty of those.
Photographs are powerful. They capture our memories and connect us to the people, places, events and emotions that make us who we are. It’s important we leave our children with pictures of us because we’re a huge part of their lives.
We might not love looking at ourselves in a photo album, but they will cherish them.

Editor:Our society’s volunteers and staff are busily
getting ready for the upcoming 42nd annual Billy Barker Days Festival, and looking forward to the support and participation from local residents and visitors.
However, we recently had a setback when the two beautiful hanging flower baskets, donated by a sponsor, were stolen from the porch entrance of our small Society office located in LeBourdais Park next to the Museum/Visitor Centre.
It has put a black cloud around the work that our active members do in creating a free Festival in LeBourdais Park and several other locations around town (parade, fireworks). We are somewhat disappointed to see that someone has decided that anything that the society has is fair game to be stolen.
We don’t want to be fearful in the future of leaving anything out for public use without having a strong security presence.
Anything stolen from the festival leaves that much less that can go into future festivals.
We hope the items stolen are returned to the office in the near future, no questions asked.
Yours sincerely,Billy Barker Days Society

Quesnel Skyfest 2015 is once again welcoming Canadian Forces premier demonstration team, the Snowbirds. They � y directly from their show in Fort St. John to Quesnel for shows July 31 – Aug. 2.
One of the most admired and talked about performance at Skyfest 2013, the Snowbirds’ spectacular precision presentation demonstrates the skill, professionalism and teamwork inherent in the women and men of the Royal Canadian Air Force and the Canadian Armed Forces.
Based at 15 Wing Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, the Snowbirds demonstration team (431 Air Demonstration Squadron), is a Canadian icon composed of serving members of the Canadian Armed Forces. Their pilots and technicians work as a team to bring thrilling performances to the North American public.
The pilots � y the Canadair CT-114 Tutor, a Canadian-built jet that was used by the Canadian Armed Forces as a basic pilot-training aircraft from 1963 – 2000. The Tutor weighs approximately l7, 170 pounds (3,260 kg) and is powered by a J-85 engine producing 2,700 pounds of thrust.
The 431 Demonstration Squadron consists of approximately 80 Canadian Armed Forces personnel, 24 of whom comprise the show team that travels during the show season.
The Snowbirds’ demanding schedule is met through the dedicated teamwork of the 11 pilots, the technicians and the entire home team.
This year, the Canadian Forces Snowbirds commemorate the 75th anniversary of the Battle of Britain, as well as the courageous airmen and hardworking ground crew who sacri� ced so much during this dif� cult time in history. The Battle was waged over a period of just mover three months, July 11 –Oct. 31, 1940.
The Battle of Britain was the � rst military confrontation won by air power and Germany’s � rst defeat in the war. For the Royal Canadian Air Force, the Battle of Britain was the � rst opportunity to � ght as Canada’s Air Force and represents a signi� cant milestone in the organization’s history.
Approximately 103 Canadians � ew in the Battle of Britain, mainly as member of No. 1
Fighter Squadron RCAF, later renamed 401 Fighter Squadron and in the Royal Air Force’s 242 “All Canadian” Squadron. Much of their success is owed to the 300 Canadians who served as ground crew and worked around the clock to � x broken aircraft in order to have them in the air for the next attack.
The Battle of Britain is commemorated every year on the third Sunday of September. On this day, the German Luftwaffe launched their largest bombing attack of the con� ict, but thanks to the brave aircrew and ground crew, the Luftwaffe was pushed back and marked a turning point in the con� ict.
431 Air Demonstration Squadron has its roots in the Second World War as a Bomber Squadron formed in 1942. Despite not participating in the Battle of Britain, members of 431 Squadron have, throughout their existence, shared a similar work ethic with those brave few who served in the Battle of Britain.
The Snowbirds always make a point of mingling with the crowds providing an up-close and personal connection for the public. Make this the year you meet a Snowbird.
Beginning with the Twilight Show on Friday night featuring the Snowbirds, July 31 (tickets are limited, so don’t miss out, available online) and moving into two days of sensational action with gates opening at 10 a.m. and shows start at noon. Watch for the Snowbirds and the other jaw-dropping, spectacular performances.
Tickets (adult, youth, family and weekend camping package) for Skyfest 2015 are available at Circle ‘S’ Western Wear, the Tourist Bureau or online at www.quesnelskyfest. ca/tickets. For just $20, get your Mustang tickets for a chance to win a sporty Ford Mustang at various venues including Integris Credit Union, Cariboo Ford, Circle ‘S’ Western Wear, Cap-it, Co-op, Quesnel Visitors Centre or contact any Skyfest director. They will also be on sale, along with Skyfest 2015 programs, on the Gold Dust Mall during Billy Barker Days, right in front of the Carib Theatre.

It’s a known fact that many go to the popular Farmer’s Market
Saturdays in Quesnel for fresh produce, baking, purchase a handmade gift, to meet friends and listen to the music. But less visible is inspiration that can be found in different areas.
Del and Verna Boesem are perfect examples of just what one couple can do in their spare time. For the past three years they have set up their wares each Saturday in the Farmers Market – Del with his woodworking projects and Verna displaying beautifully knitted and crochet gift items.
To fill a void following his retirement he started wood working in the basement workshop of their Red Bluff home. Here Del works on orders received or what seems to be in demand. As well as meeting the needs of a customer he has the satisfaction of producing beautiful designs in wood which does much to satisfy his creativity.
His passion for woodworking actually began shortly after WW2 in 1947. Del has a copper tooled picture he gave his mother and dad taken when he was about 17 or 18 years old.
He made a box for a buggy that dates back to prior 1900‘s. That same buggy is at his home awaiting restorations.
He has a number of wood items including stands of
different height for dog food and water dishes, potato boxes, jewellery boxes, clock cases displayed at the market and in a binder for quick reference. My personal favourites are the small wooden grader or an old steam boat. He uses birch, cedar, pine, spruce, oak and a mystery wood. His latest project was the eight-sided gazebo that was made at home then assembled at its destination with help of others.
But while Del is downstairs working on his projects his wife Verna, somewhat reluctant to share the limelight, is equally productive making crotchet and knitted articles.
She was seven years old when she started knitting. She was 10 when she began reading patterns and about 14 when she learned to crotchet from her mother. She reflects that she has been doing both for a long time.
She is now making stuffed toys in response to inquiries.
As president of the Quesnel and District Machinery Park much of Del’s focus these days is on plans for the upcoming Quesnel and District Heritage Association Open House Fun Day at the Quesnel and District Park on Dragon Lake Road, Aug. 16 at 10 a.m. First prize: a cedar pagola arbour; second prize: obelisk planter; third prize: picnic table. Quesnel and District Machinery Park supplies wood for the projects but members supply labour.
They are also building a special wheelchair accessible picnic table that will be donated to Dunrovin.
Tickets for this fundraiser are available from Del at the Farmers Market, Tourist Bureau, the Nursery Café and Market on Maple Drive, or from members.
Having been brought up on a farm Del learned early on that if something was broken you fixed it. In 1961 Del and his brother were able to build their parents a new house.
Their oldest son Robert who operates Cariboo Tractor, also does wood turning. Their second son, Ken in Vancouver has not been bitten by the wood bug yet.
Truly, this couple, Del with his passion and love of wood and machinery, Verna in her quiet way for support and creativity, are an inspiration to make the most of each day while they can.

Halfway through a consultation on distracted driving policy, the vast majority of B.C. residents who have responded want fines increased.
Justice Minister Suzanne Anton says thousands of people have participated on the B.C. government’s consultation website, and more than 90 per cent want stronger action to stop people talking or texting on their phones while they’re behind the wheel. The issue now is how high the fines should go.
“British Columbians are also telling us they want to see tougher escalating penalties for repeat offenders, because right now some people see the $167 ticket as the cost of doing business,” Anton said Tuesday. “We need to stop that.”
B.C.’s fine is the
second lowest in Canada, and a three-point insurance penalty was added last fall. Anton said she doesn’t intend to follow Ontario’s lead and put the fine up to $1,000 for repeat offenders, but an increase will be coming within a year.
Comments on the website www.gov.bc.ca/distracteddriving continue to debate the merits of seizing cellphones from drivers, but Anton reiterated that option is not being considered.
Suspending licences or impounding vehicles of repeat offenders is on the table, however.
Saskatchewan impounds the vehicle for a week if the driver gets two distracted driving tickets less than a year apart.
The consultation continues until July 16. Participants are asked to reply to nine questions.
The crowd-sourcing exercise has its weaknesses. Only five per cent of respondents have come from the B.C. Interior, and Anton said younger people are also under-represented.
The province attributes 88 deaths to distracted driving last year, second to speeding and ahead of impaired driving.
Public demands higher distracted driving fines
