RYAN GRAHAMObserver Reporter

City Council has ap-proved 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 Infrastruc-ture and Capital Works,

Ken Coombs says there is no ceiling on the amount that they could have ap-proved.

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

“I’m a little skeptical to use the million dollar � g-ure that was identi� ed in the 2015 � ve-year Capital Works Plan.”

In 2012 BC Groundwa-ter investigated the exist-ing ground water supply and had three recommen-dations for future need that included: rehabilita-tion of production well (PW7); undertake an environmental assessment on well � elds that would lead to an environmental certi� cate 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 re-developed and the city is currently in the process of an environmental assess-ment on our well � elds with the goal of obtaining an environmental cer-ti� cate to pump existing wells (when required) at rates of greater than 75 litres/ second.

With the new produc-tion 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 op-erational 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 ef� cient system.”

In 2015 the City of Quesnel Capital Works Program included $244,000 for exploratory drilling for a new produc-tion well, identi� ed as the Sugar Loaf Ball Park.

The west region was identi� ed as an area of concern because there is only one single wa-ter 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 ap-plication.

“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 direc-tor 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 un-knowns, which will give us the buffer that we need and will cover up to the actual cost of the project.”

Two new doctors to practice in Quesnel

As part our government’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.

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.

The Practice Ready Assessment BC program is one of several ways our government is strengthening health care in local communities.

The 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 our government’s strategy to strengthen access to primary care throughout British Columbia. Funding for the program has been extended to March 2018.

Having two new physicians practice in our community is a huge boost for families in the area.

Our government 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 BC program is one part of our government’s strategy to improve health care for British Columbians.

Our strategy to improve health care 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.

On a similar note, we all know how important the GR Baker Hospital Auxiliary is and they need our help! Help is needed in Quesnel! The Auxiliary is looking for volunteers in order to keep the organization running. Meetings are held the first Tuesday of the month at 2 p.m. in the hospital boardroom. If you want to help out, please call Barb at 250-992-5298 or 250-992-5844.

James Snetsinger, RPF, Senior Advi-sor from Industrial Forestry Service Ltd., provided a sum-mary 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 num-ber of objectives for seeking a Commu-nity Forest, including managing and devel-oping trail networks, improving the protec-tion of the commu-nity from wildfire and potentially realizing an incremental timber supply to feed our local mills.

These objectives would be achiev-able with a higher level of community-based 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 dis-cuss potential gover-nance 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 exist-ing 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 com-munity forest for our community.

The Mayor noted,

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 Sta-bilization Reserve

$71,975 – Future Tax Sale Purchases

$12,536 – Capital Reinvestment Reserve

2016 Annual Drinking Water

ReportThe City’s water

infrastructure system is comprised of six operating groundwa-ter wells, eight res-ervoirs, five booster pump stations, two main Pressure Reduc-ing 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 mon-itored in consultation with the Provincial Health Inspector and the Public Health Engineer with the Northern Health Au-thority and adheres to the British Columbia Drinking Water Regu-lations.

Water samples are tested for bacterio-logical, chemical and physical contami-nants.

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

In 2015, 362 sam-ples 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 subse-quent re-testing at the site had no detect of coliform.

New Water Production Well

– Grant Application

Council approved staff to submit a grant application to the

New Build Canada –Small Communities Fund to assist with funding a new water production well, esti-mated at $1,000,000, proposed to be located in the area of Sugarloaf Ball Park in West Quesnel. If the grant funding is successful, federal and provincial grant funds would cover up to 2/3 of the project with the City contributing 1/3.

Museum and Heritage

CommissionAs part of Council’s

strategic direction to review all City committees, Council has determined that the Museum and

Heritage Commission should be replaced with a Select Com-mittee.

A Heritage Forum was held on Febru-ary 17, 2016 whereby heritage stakeholders generally agreed with this direction.

A new Terms of Reference will be reviewed by all par-ties involved as this matter moves for-ward.

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

When baseball greats Babe Ruth and Lou

Gehrig went on tour in baseball-crazy Japan in 1934, some fans won-dered 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 strang-est 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 flow-ers to the daughter of an American diplomat being treated in St. Luke’s Hos-pital – 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 installa-tions, 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 Barrin-ger 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 partisansDuring World War II,

Moe was parachuted into

Yugoslavia to assess the value to the war effort of the two groups of parti-sans there. He reported back that Marshall Tito’s forces were widely sup-ported by the people and Winston Churchill ordered all-out support for the Yugoslav under-ground fighters, rather than Mihajlovic’s Serbi-ans.

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

Berg penetrated Ger-man-held Norway, met with members of the un-derground 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 suc-cessful, 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 Ger-man indicated the Nazis were close to building a weapon, Berg was to shoot him – and then swallow the cyanide pill. Moe, sit-ting in the front row, deter-mined 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 Frank-lin D. Roosevelt and key figures in the team devel-oping the atomic Bomb. Roosevelt responded: “Give my regards to the catcher.”

Most of Germany’s lead-ing 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 ac-cept 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.

Moe Berg’s baseball card is the only card on display at the CIA Headquarters in Washington, DC.

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

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.

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

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.

As part of the Prov-ince’s work to make sure British Colum-bians have access to high-quality primary care, 11 international-ly-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, Hous-ton, Fort Nelson and Prince Rupert.

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

“Doctors in smaller communities pro-vide a broad range of health care in their practices and hospi-tals that not only sup-port the health and wellness of individu-als, but the commu-nity as a whole.”

One of the physi-cians, Dr. Joseph Obanye, who is prac-ticing in Quesnel and completed his 12-week assessment in Valemount, calls the Practice Ready As-sessment (PRA) “One of the best programs for internationally trained physicians wanting to work in Canada, as it bene� ts

the patients, the doc-tor and the communi-ty 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 internation-ally trained physicians for practice in B.C. It is funded for a total of $7.6 million by the Joint Standing Com-mittee on Rural Issues - a collaborative com-mittee of the Ministry of Health and Doctors of BC. It is part of the Province’s strategy to strengthen access to primary care through-out British Colum-bia. Funding for the program has been extended to March 2018.

“Our collective ef-forts with Northern Health, the Ministry of Health, northern communities, Doc-tors of B.C. and other stakeholders to im-prove 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 com-munities of the North where they can estab-lish 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 Cari-boo North.

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

“We know that hav-ing a regular family doctor is an oppor-tunity for health con-cerns 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 experi-ence to support their patient’s health, but will also support

those doctors al-ready 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 encour-age you to discover the beauty, diversity and many unique ex-periences of rural liv-ing in your new home communities.”

“This program not only ensures that quali� ed international doctors are working in rural areas where they are most needed, but the three-year re-turn 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 gov-ernment allows us to tackle rural recruit-ment and retention concerns in a strategic way that bene� ts pa-tients, physicians and our health care sys-tem.”

As part of the pro-gram, doctors undergo a rigorous assessment process, spending three months with a B.C. physician who evaluates their skills as they care for pa-tients. Physicians suc-cessfully completing the program commit to practice for at least three years in a desig-nated rural commu-nity in need. The new physicians will start practicing within the next month.

“I was immediately welcomed with open arms in the commu-nity of Valemount. The community was so warm, so receptive - I’ve worked all over the U.K., from Wales, to Brighton, every-where and never had the same connection with a community. The people of Vale-mount have a heart of gold,” said Dr. Obanye of his � rst placement.

“I’ve already made so many friends in the northern communi-ties.”

Dr. Obanye an-ticipates creating the same sense of commu-nity as he works with patients in Quesnel.

The province is working with health care providers, health authorities and com-munity agencies on a comprehensive strat-egy 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 speci� c com-munities, such as re-cruiting new doctors and preparing for re-tirements, introducing team-based practices, helping general prac-titioners increase their capacity to accept new patients, using telehealth, and creat-ing stronger links be-tween family doctors and community sup-port services.

The ministry has also introduced incen-tives for family doc-tors to care for more

patients with complex care needs or frail-ty and is exploring different types of practices in more ru-ral areas, such as Fort St. John.

In addition, the province has intro-duced community paramedicine - ex-panding paramedics’ roles to support rural communities with some primary care and is working with the First Nations Health Authority on a num-ber of primary care projects speci� c to First Nations commu-nities.

The B.C. govern-ment has sent officials to Ottawa to help work through the lat-est delay in the Pacific Northwest LNG proj-ect at Prince Rupert, a 90-day extension requested by the fed-eral regulator to study fisheries impact.

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

“I’m confident that any remaining ques-tions can be answered completely and quick-ly,” Coleman said in a statement. “They have to be. Jobs for British Columbians should not be held by unnec-essary delays.”

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

The much smaller Woodfibre LNG proj-ect at a former pulp mill site near Squa-mish received federal environmental ap-proval last week.

Federal Environment Minister Catherine McKenna announced Friday that the Wood-fibre project has been found unlikely to cause significant ad-verse environmental effects. The project received provincial approval in October 2015 after a joint re-view 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 termi-nal at Lelu Island, no-tifying McKenna that it would support the plan with two condi-tions.

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

Rallies and truck parades were held in

Fort St. John and Fort Nelson last week to urge the federal gov-ernment to approve LNG projects to pro-vide an export market for B.C. gas.

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

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

“The two communi-ties up there that are probably the worst off are Tumbler Ridge and Fort Nelson,” Bennett said. “Folks in the Lower Mainland are typically shield-ed 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 look-ing closely at the eco-nomic impact of LNG development, with Al-berta, Saskatchewan and Newfoundland’s oil industries also hurting.

“Over 30 years, 100,000 jobs and a trillion dollars poten-tially 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 build-ing LNG, the environ-mental stewards.”

Published by Black Press Ltd. 188 Carson Avenue Quesnel, BC, V2J 2A8OPINIONS


My recent columns on B.C.’s struggle with the grow-

ing 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 nanny-state 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 his-tory 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 per-petuate addiction, handouts

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 re-cently profiled a metham-phetamine addict enrolled at Onsite, the belated treat-ment addition to Vancou-ver’s Insite supervised injec-tion 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 facil-ity called Baldy Hughes, a therapeutic commu-nity 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 12-step program developed by

Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous, with peer support and group therapy.

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. Resi-dents 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 sug-gest it is a solution for every community, but to com-pare it with what the B.C. government is spending millions on.

A news event was ar-ranged to greet the first resident moving from Vic-toria’s squalid downtown tent camp to a refurbished nursing home. And who was the poster child for this project, hand-picked by the

agency that runs the grow-ing network of shelters in the area?

He described himself as a former Edmonton resi-dent 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 look-ing 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 ad-olescents, 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 commu-nities on the major high-ways coming into the Lower Mainland.

B.C. ViewsTom Fletcher

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 deadli-est 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 trag-edy.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-year-

old 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 moth-er, 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 one-third 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 expe-rience, it’s hard to say.What we do know is that the deaths

leave many other big questions unan-swered.Who and what could these young

people have become? What might they have accomplished, given the chance?The possibilities were once endless.Now, they’re non-existent.

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 country- and 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.

Quesnel 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. Hot spots in the community indicate

where the concentration of crimes are committed. Smith and his partner Cst. Greg Dolan have identified downtown Quesnel as a hot spot and focus their foot patrols in that area.

“Our patrols of the downtown area are effective in ensuring the safety of anyone in that area by stopping the abuse of space by social chronic offenders,” Smith said.

The CRU has currently six prolific offenders identified in Quesnel and several more social chronic offenders. Currently they are identifying and concentrating on one prolific offender and two social chronic offenders a month.

Once a crime has been committed Smith and Dolan tell the offender they have been identified as a prolific offender

or a social chronic offender.“This is important to let them know

how big an issue their behaviour is,” Smith said.

They then present them with a document which outlines the programs and services available to them should they voluntarily chose to change their behaviour. Once they agree, the RCMP connect the offender with appropriate services and the community team takes over. The team then comes up with an initial plan. Any information they voluntarily provide the officers or the team is for information purposes only and is used for community resource management – not for the criminal justice system.

“This can be a huge step for the prolific offender and the social chronic

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.

It is with great sadness that the family of Donny Williams (Donald Robert) announce his passing March 9, 2016.

Don was born at and lived in Quesnel most of his life. Don loved turkey dinners, vanilla milkshakes, gold and rocks and vintage cars. He had a great eye for landscape design, loved to be outside trudging through the bush, playing golf and visiting the Casino.

Don’s daughter Dawn looked after him for the last two years at Victoria, BC. Don fought passionately and courageously against a rare disease called Progressive Supra-nuclear Palsy that stole his independence; but he never let it take his

dignity. “Little Dawn” as she is a� ectionately known was the light of her Dad’s life and was by his side when he passed away.

Don is survived by his daughters; Dawn Williams and Joanie Newman and two sisters; Terry Reimer (Janis, Judy and several great nieces and nephews) and Alice Stoddard (Todd, Kris and great nephew Martin).

A celebration of life for Don will be held in early

summer.

An Evening of NostalgiaAn 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 audi-ence. 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 in-troductions. A sump-tuous meal, prime rib and all the trimmings, cooked by long-time Legion members Dave

and Edna Mackie was enjoyed by all. The home-made cherry cheesecake just topped it all off!

This delightful plat-ed 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 hand-made 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 photogra-pher Jolene McRae was busy taking pictures of guests, Ca-dets, and any one and everyone who wanted

their picture taken. If you were there and would like a copy of a picture, you can contact her at 778-414-1540 or email, [email protected].

After enjoying a delicious meal, guests were entertained by After Eight who sang such songs as Senti-mental Journey, 26 Miles/Big Man Yester-day and the peren-nial 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 enjoy-ment of the ensemble comes through with every song and the banter and introduc-tions. The audience picked up on this and laughed along with them.

The concert ended with the audience

joining in the singing of Don’t Sit Under the Apple Tree and of course, everyone knew the words!

As guests were preparing to leave, there was one more bit of amusement

as Tom Moffat and Doug Carey enter-tained everyone with a rendition of a song sung by Tom and his RAF buddies overseas in the mess hall – 70 years ago!

You won’t want to miss out on the next big event at Branch#94 as Doug and ‘his cast and crew’ present Robert Service Night. And rest assured that the Cremation of Sam McGee is definitely in the program!

Dora Laurent listens to her body. It tells her

mostly everything she needs to know and she most de� nitely 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 � rst 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 � rst felt off in 2010 to � nding 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 con� rmed 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 satis� ed 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. Baf� ed

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 cancer-free.

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 250-255-8225 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 affects 70 million people worldwide and 1 in 100 in Canada... There are MORE THAN TWICE AS MANY with epilepsyin 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 theglobal 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 epilepsyand the VGH SEIZURE INVESTIGATION UNIT (SIU). The SIU provides testing for answers which cannot be foundthrough 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 shecould 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 anannual 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.

LifestyLes

How excit-ing it is to see tiny

shoots of perennials poking up through the ground now that snow has gone. And the rhubarb! From the original three plants that supplied my needs in the past there are now 12 so there should be lots to share this summer.

Longer days make big difference but adjust-ment to time change takes a while to get used to. No wonder we are confused having to cope with Daylight Saving, Pacific Standard and Cariboo time.

Shopping for Seniors

A team of volunteers are now in their 16th year of Shopping for Seniors at Canada Safeway. Currently 8-10 people meet with Marilyn Gibson, the coordinator in a secret location in Safeway. This pro-gram is supported by Wes Allen, Assistant Manager, who helped the program begin. With the change of store ownership a delivery fee had to be negotiated, which is a thrifty $5.00. Seniors requiring shopping assistance phone in on Thursday morn-ings, from 9:30-11:30 am. They are asked their name, address and phone number, then the items re-quired, to a minimum order of $20. The volunteers shop for the items with dietary needs and brand pref-erences noted. The client will be phoned by the shopper if there are difficulties such as lack of variety or items and to see if a substitute is needed. The groceries are cheerfully delivered by a bonded delivery service regardless of the weather! One cli-ent has shopped with

the program since it’s inception and is now in her 90’s. The volunteers are discreet and enjoy provid-ing the service to the community

Meals on WheelsThe Meals on

Wheels program is a service that provides home delivered meals Monday, Wednesday and Friday right to your door. It is avail-able to anyone who is unable to make a nutritious dinner for themselves. The meals are only $5.50 each but space is limited so if you are interested or wish to inquire about the service call Maeford Place, 250-992-8342, and ask for Meals on Wheels.

Meals come with a protein (such as beef, chicken or fish), rice or potatoes, veg-etables, salad, fresh bun from bakery, a separate container of home made soup and dessert. You can pay cash or cheque and the volunteer driver will collect your pay-ment to make it as easy as possible for you. Hot items come in microwavable dishes to reheat food as required. All items are home made fresh daily in the Maeford Place kitchen.

The program has been in operation for more than 10 years in Quesnel. Volunteer drivers are always needed so please call if you are interested in helping out in the community.

Back 40 RanchNow in their ninth

year the Back 40 Ranch near Ten Mile Lake on the Old Hixon Road will soon start growing veg-etables to deliver to homes in the Quesnel area. They are not or-ganically certified but fertilized with sheep and rabbit manure. No gmo chemicals are used on the property. They are also sup-plying starters for the two Community Gardens here. Previ-ously this was done at the Community College greenhouse. They already have 110 names on the

list between here and Wells but could take a few more people who would like a regu-lar delivery of fresh produce. Phone them at 250-992-7834 to receive this service. They will have U-Pick service later on in the season also.

Quesnel athletes shine bright on the big stageRYAN GRAHAM

Observer Reporter

Quesnel Special Olympics made the city proud when they com-peted 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 Provin-cial 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 ski-ing, Cherie Swaan and Danny Dodgson in snowshoeing and the curling team of Glenda Melny-chuk, 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 finish-ing with a time of 33.20.

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

The first game against the Island-ers 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 pres-sure on the Islanders, as their skip would miss a critical shot which allowed Quesnel to win gold.

RYAN GRAHAMObserver Reporter

Correlieu and Quesnel Junior stu-dents 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 By-stander program.

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

It was introduced in 2011 as a part-nership between the BC Lions and the Ending Violence Association of BC (EVA BC), which focuses on four issues:

Developing a broad public aware-ness of the issues featuring BC Lions players, develop a curriculum and teaching materials for school pro-grams and to train BC Lions to deliver presentations in schools throughout B.C.

The program also concentrates on train-ing football coaches in the province on how to talk to kids about violence against women and respectful rela-tionships.

Along with creating a

film that would appeal to the youth with a positive message about respecting women and the importance of bystanders speaking up to prevent violence against women.

The two players from the Lions were Rolly Lumbala a nine-year full back and of-fensive guard T-Dre Player. They stressed the impor-tance of getting involved if you see a situation escalate

and that you do not have to be physical or violent to intervene.

Along with Quesnel they also visited schools in Wil-liams Lake and 100 Mile House.

Prince George heading back to the playoffsRYAN GRAHAM

Observer Reporter

The Prince George Cougars of the West-ern Hockey League are heading back to the playoffs for a sec-ond straight season.

The Cougars will open their first round series against the Seattle Thunderbirds, who finished first in the U.S. division with 94 points.

The series will begin in Seattle with games on March 25 and 26. They will then head to Prince George for games three and four at the CN Centre on March 29 and 30.

If necessary game five and seven will be held in Seattle and game six in Prince George.

The Cougars clinched a play-off berth when the Tri-City Americans were defeated by the Kamloops Blazers March 8.

Single game tickets officially went on

sale last week and are available through ticketmaster while full playoff packages and group ticket offers (for groups of 10 or more) are available through the Cougars’ business office.
