Thursday around 9 a.m. Quesnel RCMP of cers attended a call for service in the South Hills area of the city.
While on scene, one of the of cers noticed a man matching Gerald McLeans description approach the area and immediately upon seeing police, changed directions and headed back into a wooded area behind Cody
Dale Road.Of cers set up a
perimeter in the area and called upon other Detachment resources to assist in the search. Of cers converged on the wooded area and were able to locate and arrest McLean without incident.
I would like to thank all our media partners and citizens of Quesnel for their assistance and trust in the RCMP during
the time McLean was at large in our community, Sgt. Darren Dodge, who supervised the capture, said.
It is expected that McLean will be transported to PGRCC later today by the BC Sheriffs Services. The Quesnel GIS are investigating several les that may have involved McLean, including thefts and break
and enters. Another break and enter was discovered earlier Thursday to a vacant residence just two blocks from where McLean was located which is still under investigation.

Remembering And Supporting All Veterans
Mayor Bob [email protected]

In 1974, as an eighteen-year-old Navy signal-man, I was shocked when we were informed our ship, the HMCS MacKenzie, was going to slip lines and leave Japan despite the fact that a major typhoon was set to hit the countrys coastline. We were told that sailing into the stormy waters would be good experience for us. It was a brutal and frightening experience; one that resulted in damage to our ship and lots of bumps and bruises among the crew.
So, it was with some relief that I got a satel-lite phone call from my son a few weeks ago during which he assured us that his ship, the HMCS Calgary, had stayed north of Hurricane Patricia. Hes on extended sea duty somewhere in the Pacific off San Diego and Id been having visions of a gung-ho Captain deciding it would be great to take the ship and its crew into the strongest storm ever recorded -- for the expe-rience.
This Remembrance Day Im conscious of how fortunate am I that during my time in the Navy the only thing I had to worry about was riding out storms at sea. I hope thats the only thing I have to concern myself with during the remain-der of my sons time in the Navy as well.
But, for too many generations, too many par-ents, spouses and children of service men and women have had more serious things to worry about as their loved ones were put in harms way by the powers that be to serve some great-er public good. Today, we pause to reflect and remember these individuals and the debt we owe to them and to their families.
Quesnel should be particularly thoughtful and proud this Remembrance Day as one of our local veterans, Paul Nichols, and his wife Terry have just completed an incredible jour-ney across our nation on horseback to raise awareness of veterans issues. Over six thou-sand kilometers and 150 days, Paul and Terry made community after community aware of our contemporary veterans and of the need to improve services for all those who have served our nation in uniform.
On behalf of Quesnel City Council, I want to express how proud we all are of the efforts of Paul and Terry and the incredible support crew that accompanied them on the road and sup-ported them from home. It is our sincere hope that the new government in Ottawa will listen carefully to the stories and messages that the Communities For Veterans Ride Across Canada heard in community after community.
Our veterans of all wars deserve more than mere remembrance, they also deserve more deliberate and long lasting support from the government and nation that they served.

Honouring our veteransHave you been following the Ride Across Canada? There is no greater example of the work of todays veterans than The Communities For Veterans - Ride Across Canada campaign initiated by our very own veteran Paul Nichols and his wife Terry. In April, I was honoured to be part of their step-off from the Legislature grounds in Victoria. For the past eight months these two, their daughter Kirsten, and their team have been leading a band of veterans across the country to help raise awareness about the physical and mental health challenges veterans can face when they return from battle.To date, Paul has rode 18-year-old Zoe more than 6,000 kilometers and has reached in St. Johns, Newfoundland. During their journey over 320 veterans have joined the ride and they have connected with thousands more. They have had more than 320 veterans ride with them so far and have connected with thousands more. They have spoken with tens of thousands of civilians and serving members of the Canadian military along the way. There is no doubt in my mind that the work of Paul and Terry and their crew is not only reshaping the profile of todays veteran, but also influencing how the nation can better support veterans in transitioning from military life to civilian life.This Remembrance Day, we have so much to be grateful for. We have the Canada we love because of the men and women who serve and sacrifice for us.I encourage you to reflect on their sacrifice and and remember those who have served and those who continue to serve.The next time you see veterans out in our community, thank them for their service.The community is hosting a homecoming for Paul and his wife Terry Nichols at the Quesnel Seniors Centre on December 10. Tickets are $25 each at Circle S Western Wear and the Kersley Store. Doors open at 5:30 p.m. and dinner starts at 6 p.m. I hope to see you there!

This years influenza vaccine is available at doctors offices, public health clinics and pharmacies across B.C.
Provincial Health Officer Dr. Perry Kendall said the main flu season runs from late November through to next April, and cases of H3N2 influenza are
already showing up. That strain affects mainly older people, while influenza B is expected to show up by February and spread among children.
The vaccine is is free for children between six months and five years, seniors aged 65 and older, pregnant women, aboriginal people and those with chronic health conditions, as well as
caregivers and others who expect to be in close contact with higher-risk groups.
About 3,500 people die in Canada each winter from influenza and its complications, with hospital and residential care patients the most vulnerable. Kendall said influenza causes more deaths than all other vaccine-preventable illnesses combined.
This years vaccine is expected to provide 40 to 60 per cent protection against H3N2 and 65 per cent protection against various strains of influenza B.
The annual flu vaccine is still the best tool we have to protect against getting the flu, said Dr. Charles Webb, president of the Doctors of B.C.
Combined
with regular hand washing, you are also protecting those around you who may be more vulnerable to serious flu complications.
To find the nearest flu shot clinic, call HealthLink BC at 8-1-1 or use the online influenza clinic finder at www.immunizebc.ca/clinics/flu.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has appointed three rookie B.C. MPs to his new cabinet, all from the Lower Mainland.
Vancouver South MP Harjit Saj-jan, a former Lieutenant-Colonel in the Canadian Forces who served three tours in Afghanistan, is the new Minister of Defence. He was a Vancouver Police officer for 11 years before running for Parlia-ment in the Oct. 19 election.
Vancouver-Granville MP Jody Wilson-Raybould, another first-time candidate elected to the new riding of Vancouver-Granville, is appointed Justice Minister. Wilson-Raybould is a former Crown pros-ecutor and served as B.C. regional chief for the Assembly of First Na-tions before running for national office. Delta MP Carla Qualtrough is appointed minister for Sport and Persons with Disabilities. A lawyer
and specialist in disabilities who is visually impaired, Qualtrough won three medals in swimming at the 1988 and 1992 Paralympic Games.
B.C. Premier Christy Clark con-gratulated the new B.C. MPs, part of a contingent of 17 elected with the Liberal majority in Ottawa.
I am pleased to see British Co-lumbia will be well represented at the cabinet table, Clark said in a statement Wednesday. I know ministers Jody Wilson-Raybould, Harjit Sajjan and Carla Qual-trough will be strong, passionate advocates not just for our prov-ince, but for our shared priorities, like renewing the Softwood Lum-ber Agreement, LNG development, increasing support for internation-al trade, investing in infrastructure and immigration, as well as fully including First Nations in our di-verse economy.

The B.C. government declared the first Conservation Officer Day on Nov. 4, to recognize the 110-year history of the service that started out as mostly volunteer game wardens.
This is overdue recognition for what is essentially a police force that only receives public notice when a bear or cougar has to be killed to protect people.
The ceremony at the B.C. legislature included awards. Chief Conservation Officer Doug Forsdick presented long-service medals and two commendations for lifesaving.
One was to CO Jason Hawkes, who rescued a family of four from their sinking boat on Kootenay Lake last June. He reached them in rough, windy conditions when they were waist-deep in water, far from shore.
The other went to CO Andrew Anaka, for rescuing an angler from an overturned boat, whom he found extremely hypothermic at the base of a cliff at a lake near Powell River on Jan. 22. A second angler didnt make it to shore.
An exemplary service
medal went to CO Micah Kneller, who caught up with Fort Nelson RCMP officers and paramedics on Sept. 6, as they treated a hunter who had been attacked by a grizzly in a remote area. As darkness fell, Kneller found a second injured hunter, got the group together, built a fire and assisted until a rescue helicopter from CFB Comox lifted the hunters out at 3 a.m.
NDP environment critic Spencer Chandra Herbert had a couple of things on his mind at the event. He relayed a report from the B.C. Government Employees Union that there has been a 10 per cent cut in CO staff since 2002.
Not so, replied Environment Minister Mary Polak. The number has hovered around 148 in that time, she said, including seasonal staff for peak
hunting and fishing periods.Polak said extra
investment has gone into trucks that serve as mobile command centres, so people arent sitting in offices waiting for the phone to ring.
They patrol more and respond faster, which can be vital.
Chandra Herbert also blasted the government for a donation of $100,000 from the Freshwater Fishing Society of B.C. to increase angling enforcement this summer, adding more seasonal CO days. Whats next, bake sales? he said.
The real story is a bit more complicated.
In March I reported that the B.C. Liberal government finally made good on a decade-old promise to turn over all revenue from freshwater fishing licence sales to the society.
Its revenuewent from $7 million to $10 million once the government finally ended the practice of skimming some off for the general treasury.
Energy Minister Bill Bennett recalled that the society was established during the first years of Gordon Campbells government, a period
of what Bennett called religious zeal for privatization.
The society spends most of its budget restocking lakes with trout and promoting responsible angling, but its new 30-year service contract also calls on it to contribute to enforcement.
This is the first year that has happened, and Polak said the extra fishing violation tickets indicate it is working.
The CO service also works on cases such as the Mount Polley mine breach. It has a commercial environmental enforcement unit, a special investigations unit to deal with smuggling and organized crime and an intelligence analyst.
In short, theyre real cops, working with a group of about 150 compliance officers at the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations.
They dont get much respect from an urban public informed by celebrity wildlife protesters such as Pamela Anderson, Miley Cyrus and Ricky Gervais.

B.C. ViewsTom Fletcher
Lest we forget
As war has changed in indescribable ways over the last century, the face of our Remembrance Day ceremonies is changing too.Gone are the veterans of the First
World War and ever dwindling are those Second World War and Korean War veterans whose stories are so entrenched in our collective Canadian consciousness.Yet we must continue to honour
and recognize to remember those sacrifices that helped define and shape our history and culture.At the same time, we recognize the
tremendous contributions of those who have stepped forward to serve their country and have given much in recent conflicts, in addition to those men and women husbands, fathers, mothers and daughters who have helped bring peace to war-ravaged countries around the world.Our commemoration on Nov. 11 is
not about glorifying war; far from it. There is no question that the world would be a far better place were soldiers and armies no longer needed.However, the reality is that at
present, the world is not that place.And so this Remembrance Day we
give thanks to those who have laid down their lives, to those who have left loved ones in Canada to try to do some good a world away, and to those who fought and returned, forever changed.To those here on the homefront,
from Second World War victory gardeners to parents and children who wave good-bye from the dock to todays Armed Forces members, you too deserve our thanks for what is, too often, a thankless job.We take a moment today to
remember all of those sacrifices and the many more besides.Thank you.

Editor:The Ontario
Civil Liberties Association (OCLA) denounces the criminal prosecution of Mr. Arthur Topham taking place in Quesnel, BC.
Topham is on trial for charges under the hate speech provisions of Canadas Criminal Code (s. 319(2)).
These provisions criminalize belief, opinion, and expression of ones beliefs and opinions, and are incompatible with the universal principle of free debate in a democracy.
No person should ever be subjected to a criminal prosecution without the state having the onus to show actual harm to a person and intent to produce the actual harm, beyond a reasonable doubt.
The crime in essence is in the abstract, regarding production of an emotional response at large. No actual effect or imminent danger need be demonstrated by the Crown. The Crown will not rely on showing actual harm or intent to harm.
Canadas hate crime provisions require specific consent from the provinces Attorney General for a prosecution to proceed.
This feature makes the states decision about whether or not to prosecute alleged hate crimes particularly susceptible to political influences.
In the present political climate in Canada, cases where the expression can negatively impact public opinion about Canadas diplomatic and military support for US and Israel policy and actions in the Middle East, or where state suppression of targeted expression supports the geopolitical goals of the US and Israel in the Middle East, are among those which are most at risk from being attacked using disproportionate means wielded by the state.
In September 2014, the OCLA launched a petition to the Attorney General of BC asking that she retract her consent for the criminal proceedings against Mr. Topham.
The petition, which gathered over 1,400 signatures, can be viewed online at the following link: https://www.change.org/p/hon-suzanne-
anton-attorney-general-of-bc-jag-minister-gov-bc-ca-hon-suzanne-anton-retract-your-consent-for-the-criminal-proceedings-against-mr-arthur-topham
All expression stems from the individuals experience and perception, and is therefore of value to society, in that it reveals points of view for evaluation.
Any individuals expression of any view is needed content in the struggle for greater democracy and understanding.
The OCLA defends Mr. Tophams expression of his views, along with any other persons expression of any view. The health of our democracy depends on freedom of speech.
The hate speech provisions of the Criminal Code of Canada are irreconcilable with the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, and should be repealed. They are an offence against decency and human rights.
About the Ontario Civil Liberties Association
The OCLA vigorously advocates for authentic and unqualified freedom of expression of individuals, on all topics and in every form, in accordance with the right to free expression enshrined in the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. The OCLA also advocates for unimpeded civil liberties and civil rights of all persons, in dealings with public and private institutions and corporations.

Last week ICBC launched its annual pedestrian safety campaign with the B.C. Coroners Service, B.C. government and police to urge pedestrians and drivers to do their part to stay safe as crashes involving pedestrians spike at this time of year.
Almost two times more pedestrians are injured in crashes from November to January compared to June to August as the weather changes and daylight hours decrease.
The top contributing factors attributed to drivers in crashes with pedestrians are: distraction, failure to yield the right of way and weather.
Drivers should take extra time to look for pedestrians before turning, avoid distractions and be ready to yield.
Pedestrians can help stay safe by making eye contact, wearing bright and re ective clothing and staying focused on the road.
ICBC is distributing free safety re ectors and tips to pedestrians with the help of community policing volunteers and other local partners throughout B.C.
ICBCs campaign will feature new radio advertising aimed at drivers and transit advertising aimed at pedestrians in the highest pedestrian crash areas of the province, along with online digital advertising.
Learn more stats and facts in ICBCs infographic and get more tips and see the advertising on icbc.com.
Its the fall, and that means the evenings get darker quicker and we can expect more bad weather such as rain and fog and more treacherous road conditions, such as ice and snow, Todd Stone, Minister of Transportation and Infrastructure, said.
These are all good reasons to be especially cautious and look out for pedestrians.
As drivers, we need to quit making excuses for not seeing pedestrians by staying focused.
Statistics In B.C., nearly one in ve
(18 per cent) people killed in car crashes are pedestrians.
In the Lower Mainland, 33 pedestrians are killed and 1,700 injured in crashes every year.
On Vancouver Island, 10 pedestrians are killed and 330 pedestrians are injured in crashes every year.
In the Southern Interior, 12 pedestrians are killed and 240 pedestrians are injured in crashes every year.
In Northern B.C., 90 pedestrians are injured and four pedestrians are killed in crashes every year on our roads.
As pedestrians, its critical that we do what we can to be seen by drivers.

This is the last of Paul Nichols writings from the road. This covers the last days of the Ride Across Canada. Paul and Terry were guests of the Cana-dian Finals Rodeo in Edmonton, Alta. for Remembrance Day and then returned to Ot-tawa to rejoin the road crew to bring it home.
Were coming into our last week of the Ride Across Canada and what a ride its been.
Eight months away from home and just over 6,000 km in the saddle has seen us connect with communities right across our country.
I set a goal to include our contemporary veterans on this ride with me and to create discussion in their communities. I had no idea how far we would reach or how many lives we would touch. Three hundred and thirty five veterans have completed Terrys program and joined me on the trail with our horses.
Thousands of others have
met us on the road and rallied around us in support of the ride. We have met and exceeded our goal and we have spoken with tens of thousands of Canadians. We have created community and we have shed tears and shared hugs. We have seen hard exteriors melt and have witnessed rooms go quiet. We have helped the Canadian people lift their heads and really notice the veterans living among them and see them with new eyes.
I have confirmed what I have always known to be the truth. As soldiers we are people who have a desire
to serve and that desire does not diminish when we choose to transition out of the military. Through the Ride Across Canada we have witnessed communities embrace their veterans and we have watched our veter-ans step forward with new energy and their heads held high eager to contribute.
By reintroducing the Cana-dian people to their contem-porary veterans, we have also created bridges for the ones that are struggling as a result of their service.
The terrible symptoms that can accompany post trau-matic stress or operational
stress injury can hunt us and haunt us. When we live in isola-tion, we are forced to face the demons alone.
With my crew and my horses we have created discussion. We are still creating aware-ness and I feel the quiet peace and the warming pride of a hard job well done.
St. Johns Newfound-land is a few days away.
When we stepped off from Victoria last April the Honourable Judith Guichon, Lt. Governor of British Columbia, hosted our send off from the steps of the provincial legislature. We are wrapping up the Ride Across Canada on the Atlantic coast at a reception to be hosted by His Honour Frank F. Fagan, Lt. Gover-nor of Newfoundland and Labrador.
We are gathering on Nov. 9 at the Mount Pearl Legion at noon and making our way to the Newfoundland National Memorial in St. Johns at 2 p.m.

Decisions were made as early as February about the content of the vaccine for 2015-16. Last years vaccine was not the best match however for this flu season, the vaccine will contain strains that will give recipients much better protection. Its important that we all get a flu shot each year. Are you going to?Grapefruit juice contains substances than can inactivate enzymes involved in the breakdown of certain drugs in the body.

RYAN GRAHAMObserver Reporter
The field lacrosse season for the Quesnel Minor Lacrosse As-sociation is underway. This is the first year that Quesnel has had their own field team, as it was previously in Prince George.
In the past, Prince George has ran a zone team, but weve had enough interest here that we went ahead and decided were going to do it, Lisa Scott, President of the Quesnel Minor Lacrose Associa-tion said.
Prince George ended up not having enough interest and ended up folding and now Ques-nel is the zone team.
Field lacrosse was a desire in the community, as the players wanted to have a local team.
The group of kids that are out there are the ones that wanted us to do this, Scott said.
Its hard to say no when theyre the ones that are wanting to come out and play and wanting to be here.
With that, Scott suc-cessfully applied for a grant through Via Sport and the government of B.C. to start a field lacrosse program in Quesnel. Scott says that lacrosse allows players huge prospects in and outside the sport.
Theres huge oppor-tunities in the lacrosse world for scholarships to get an education, Scott said.
Lacrosse isnt the sport where youre go-ing to make millions of dollars like the NHL, but its the sport where a scholarship is actually attainable. To be able to go somewhere other than Quesnel and to get that education or go down to the United States to play is pretty cool.
She says the team will not hold any tournaments be-cause this is their first year.
Unfortunately there is no other teams to play up north. The next clos-est team is down in the Okanagan, Scott said.
With that, the team must travel to compete for games, like the Space Needle Shootout that the U-18 team will play in Dec. 4 6 in Wash-ington state. The 2016 B.C. Summer games will be hosted in Abbotsford,
which is a collection of ath-letes competing in different sports. Quesnel hopes their players will participate. Players born in 2000 and 2001 are eligible to play on the zone 8 box lacrosse
team and players born in 2001 and 2002 are eligible for the zone 8 field lacrosse team.
Scott has many years involved with lacrosse and is excited about where la-
crosse in Quesnel is going. Weve had some real big
growth with lacrosse here and its really exciting just to see where were branch-ing off and how far Ques-nels come, Scott said.
