AUTUMN MacDONALDObserver Reporter

Robert Mike Mero and Kale Raymond Comeau have been found not guilty.

The incident in question involved an alleged drive-by shooting in June of 2012.

The decision, handed down by Justice R.Tindale in Quesnel Supreme court Thursday, rested primarily with a wiretap on Mero’s cell phone and testimony from Crown’s main witness.

Tindale found the witness “unreliable” and “contradictory”. Noting she wrongly identi� ed one suspect and later changed who it was.

Justice also noted his “dif� culty” with identi� cation due to poor lighting at the time and the limited time frame to correctly ID the subjects.

Both men were facing one count of each of discharging a � rearm with the intent to endanger life and pointing a � rearm.

June 2, 2012 RCMP responded to shots � red in the 400 block of Hartley street.

The rounds did not strike anyone, but penetrated a window and siding of a residence.

Suspectssought

Sunday (Oct. 5) at approximately 10 p.m. two males forced their way into a business on Two Mile Flat in Quesnel.

Once inside, the suspects stole a large quantity of merchandise before � eeing in a stolen vehicle.

The vehicle was later located near Boston Bar where it was involved in a collision. The suspects � ed from the scene of the collision on foot and remain at large.

Forensic identi� cation specialists have examined the scene of the break and enter and the stolen vehicle.

Video surveillance has been obtained of the suspects and the � le remains under investigation by the Quesnel RCMP.

Anyone with information regarding this incident is asked to contact the Quesnel RCMP at (250) 992-9211 or Crimestoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).

REMEMBERTO RECYCLE

Quesnel residents have a chance to win, just by shopping in the Gold Pan city.

Quesnel Commu-nity and Economic Development Cor-poration (QCEDC) is partnering with the Quesnel and District Chamber of Commerce, Quesnel Downtown Associa-tion, South Quesnel Business Association, West Quesnel Busi-ness Association and Community Futures to host a Shop Ques-nel contest.

The contest will use social media to raise awareness about what products are available locally.

Residents are encouraged to take a photo and post it on all social media platforms with the

hashtag, “#IBough-tItInQuesnel”. Each posting will be entered in a weekly draw for a cash prize. Each week, purchas-ing a designated “theme” item will garner an extra entry.

Some of the theme items will include: appliances, jewelry, electronics, building materials, recreational vehicles, sporting goods, shoes or boots, automotive, furnish-ings and clothing.

A survey completed by almost 400 Ques-nel residents in the spring sparked the idea for the contest.

“We wanted to do something to support local retailers, while drawing attention to items people think you can’t buy in Quesnel,” Economic

Development Officer at QCEDC Amy Reid said.

“Our ten ‘themes’ have been selected based on our survey results.”

Purchasing from locally owned busi-nesses keeps money circulating closer to where we live.

This creates a ripple effect as those businesses and their employees spend their money in and around Quesnel.

Full contest details and a link to the Shop Quesnel survey can be found on the QCEDC Facebook page (www.facebook.com/qcedc).

CorrectionIn the front page story, Topham receives sup-

port from OCLA, Observer, Oct. 1/14, the trial date was stated as Oct. 27, 2014. The trial is, in fact, slated for Oct. 26, 2015.

Chris and Heather Hartridge are on their nine-month grand tour, on bicycles, to Mexico and Central America and will be submitting their travel stories to the Observer.

Continuing on the Canadian leg of our journey

to Central America we pick up the story as we make our way south on Vancouver Island’s Hwy. 19. Camping along the way, after Woss we stopped at Sayward Junction, Campbell River, Miracle Beach and Kye Bay near Comox. Kye Bay was a special destination as it is home to an old friend Dave Spinks and his lovely partner Roz. There, they own and operate a

very cool beach side resort – cabins and a recently renovated lodge. They offered to put us up for a couple of nights and we happily accepted the offer. Kye Bay is just across the straight from Powell River and with the weather’s blessing we had a super relaxing and rejuvenating

time. It was so great so see Dave again. We’ve known each other for 35 years or so and used to play in the Zig Zag Mountain String Band. During our stay, Dave mentioned there was a jam session at a pub in Qualicum on the day were going to leave. As it was on the way, we hitched a ride there with Dave and Roz so we could get in on the jam. We arrived to a hoppin’’ joint with plenty of players on the chalkboard. Dave quickly rushed up and put our names on so we could get a place in line. Then we sat back and listened to the various celebrities croon their own country song (country music being the day’s theme.) It had been a couple of years since Dave and I had played together and we were pretty pumped about the whole thing. Without a doubt and with a certain amount of pride I can say we rocked the place. I could sense people were itching to hear and dance to some rock n’ roll. Our � rst song was appropriately enough, Six Days on the Road. Up tempo, heavy on the beat, we had the dance � oor full in no time. We moved through some of Dave’s favourites and the set went by way too fast. Thanks Dave!

From Qualicum we continued south to

Nanaimo and a stay with a Warmshowers.org host couple Jim and Cory Kral. We were soon to � nd out what a small world it is. Kral is a well known family in Quesnel and Jim and Cory were related. It was fun exchanging names of people we knew and learning about their family. They were consummate hosts and we had a wonderful stay with them. Thanks Jim and Cory.

The next morning we were off to catch the ferry to Tsawassen so we could visit my mum and brother in Surrey along with other friends we hadn’t seen for a while in the Lower Mainland. We took a week to see everyone including our kids who came to Surrey for a bit of a family gathering. We also re-stocked the supplies for the next section of the journey – back to Victoria and over the Olympic Peninsula via Port Angeles.

On Aug. 27 we took the ferry back to Victoria and spent two days meandering down the beautiful Lochside Trail as it winds from Swartz Bay through Sidney and on to Victoria. On the way we stayed with another Warmshowers.org host and were pampered once more. The next day in Victoria we felt like real tourists cycling past the B.C. Legislature as we made our way to the Black Ball Ferry. By 5 p.m., we

were in the U.S.A. ready to start the next leg of our tour. And, on our way to another home stay with a host family there. The Warmshowers worldwide movement to promote cycling and provide a safe and friendly place to stay overnight is simply wonderful.

From Port Angeles we brie� y headed east and then turned south to follow Hwy. 101 down the Hood Canal. The weather gods were still on our side as we camped in state parks with names like Dosewallips and Potlach. This was a busy time as it was the Labor Day weekend. We chose to stay put in one campground for a couple of nights so we didn’t have to battle traf� c and it worked. When we emerged back on to the roads, the kids were in school and things had calmed down a bit.

Our route after the Hood Canal took us through the towns of Sheldon,

Centralia, Castle Rock and Cahtlamet as we rode over to meet the mighty Columbia River. Say, did you know this river was named after a ship called the Columbia Redviva captained by Robert Grey who entered the river’s mouth in 1792? From Cahtlamet, we made our way via road and ferry to the historic city of Astoria, Oregon. We camped right on the Paci� c coast at a super state park with an amazing hiker biker campsite. These campsites will be our home many nights on our way down the Oregon Coast. With all the facilities we need and at $6 per person they’re a bargain. Not to mention very biker-friendly.

In our next story, we’ll take you down the Oregon coast where we visit deserted beaches, see whales breaching just off shore and hear the sea lions bark hello as we ride by.

Youth parliament seeking applicationsAre you (or know

someone) between the ages of 16-21 with political aspirations, a desire for intellectual debate and possible change?

If so, the provincial government has a program for you. The British Columbia Youth Parliament is after 95 fine young men and women to visit Victoria this Christmas, debate important service projects to benefit the youth of the province, and put those plans in place in 2015.

For the next three weeks, BCYP is calling on community and youth leaders across the province to nominate exceptional young people to take part in this important opportunity.

“BCYP is education and community service in action,” Premier for the upcoming year of BCYP Darya Ali said.

“We’re looking for young people who want to learn more about our system of government, make life-long friends, and take part in projects that benefit our province’s youth.

“We’re asking community leaders, elected officials, and others to think about young people who’d be great members of this organization and make sure those youth are aware of this opportunity.”

The British Columbia Youth Parliament is a non-partisan, non-demoninational, non-profit

service organization.BCYP plans, fundraises

for, and puts in place service projects that help improve the lives of young people.

These include group community service events, partnerships with community service organizations, regional model parliaments, and individual youth volunteer projects.

BCYP members spend time at the BC Legislature in Victoria between Boxing Day and New Years Day every year to debate and vote on the organization’s proposed activities and issues of local, national, and international importance.

All members sit as

independents, and are free to vote according to their conscience on the issues.

Potential BCYP members will be:

• Between 16 and 21 years of age;

• Residents of the province for the past year;

• Able to commit to a year’s worth of service; and

• Interested in learning more about how our democratic system works.

Additional information and membership applications are available on-line at www.bcyp.org.

This year’s application deadline is Oct. 29.

BCYP is sponsored by the Youth Parliament of BC Alumni Society, a registered, non-profit organization.

Researchers release Mount Polley findingsResearchers and

staff at the University of Northern British Columbia (UNBC) have released some initial findings regard-ing the tailings pond breach at the Mt. Pol-ley Mine. The results were presented and discussed at an Open House held on Satur-day at the UNBC Dr. Max Blouw Ques-nel River Research Centre (QRRC) near Likely. When the tail-ings pond at the Mt. Polley Mine breached on Aug. 4, staff and students at the QRRC initiated a sampling and monitoring program the same day; the monitoring has continued since. The QRRC is located 23 km from the Mt. Polley Mine and 10 km away by boat from where Hazeltine Creek enters Quesnel Lake.

“In a matter of a few hours, the wa-tershed was affected at an extent never

before seen, and that will possibly last for decades,” Dr. Phil Owens said.

“There have been few occasions in B.C. where so much infor-mation was required in order to determine the environmental impacts of a major industrial disaster.”

“Fortunately, the ex-isting research activi-ties that the QRRC has been undertak-ing in the Quesnel watershed over the last decade, and the expertise and capacity of staff and students at the QRRC, allowed for prompt action,” Dr. Ellen Petticrew added.

A number of key findings to date have been issued based on research by the QRRC and their col-laborators:

• There is a plume of fine sediment that extends over an area of many tens of square kilometres that is concentrated

at depth in the water column (typically below 25 m deep) of Quesnel Lake and centred around the area where Hazeltine Creek enters the lake. The plume is moving both down the lake (towards the town of Likely) and up the lake (past Cariboo Island).

• Water sample analyses show that the plume is com-posed of very fine particles with a median diameter of approximately one micron (a human hair is 40 – 50 microns wide).

• Further analysis shows that the water in the sediment plume is higher in metals concentrations com-pared to water sam-ples collected above the plume, and that the metals are mainly associated with the fine sediment.

• The data suggest that the plume of fine sediment derived

from the breach is moving from the lake into Quesnel River. Monitoring of water and sediment proper-ties in the Quesnel River at the QRRC show that there are pulses of cold water moving into the river from deeper lake wa-ter. The pulses occur quickly with sharp drops in water tem-perature and changes in water colour over a few days, before returning to ambi-ent conditions. These pulses are associated with increases in fine mineral sediment, and some geochemical properties (including metals).

Preliminary research suggests that these pulses in water and fine sediment origi-nate from the plume in the lake (described above) and are a result of vertical dis-placement of deeper, cold water from the lake.

Researchers and staff at the QRRC, along with their col-leagues at UNBC (at the Prince George campus), UBC and the Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO), are continuing their research ac-tivities in the Quesnel River watershed and will report further findings.

Not heardMayors and councillors

didn’t get much in the way of joy or love from

the provincial government last week during the Union of B.C. Municipalities annual conference.A resolution was passed

unanimously by UBCM delegates asking the government to rescind recent B.C. Ferries fare hikes and service cuts.Minutes after the resolution passed,

Transportation Minister Todd Stone kiboshed the idea.“That’s not going to happen,” he

told a reporter.The UBCM was asking for a

rollback in fares to 2013 rates. They were too high then, as well.The motion put forward by UBCM

delegates came on the heels of a report suggesting B.C. has missed out on more than $2 billion in economic activity over the past decade because of rising fares. Stone labelled the report “irresponsible” and “unsubstantiated.”When he wasn’t keeping the

socialist hordes away from the gates of British Columbia, Premier W.A.C. Bennett essentially created B.C. Ferries in the late 1950s.A strike by employees of the

private Black Ball Line was the impetus for Bennett’s plan to create a government-owned ferry service. Bennett saw it as an extension of the highway system. Say that now and watch federal and provincial politicians run for the hills.Back at the UBCM last week,

delegates passed an emergency motion related to the sharing of tax revenue by the province. This is mostly about infrastructure upgrades and the increasing difficulty municipalities have funding projects. The emergency motion was thought to be required because the provincial government has ignored, for 12 months, a report detailing a partnership proposal between the province and municipalities.No word, no love, from the

province on this one, either. Makes one wonder just how serious the provincial government takes the UBCM.

Three years ago, long-time chief and band administrator

Sophie Pierre sought an ex-tension of her term leading the B.C. Treaty Commis-sion and gave a warning. The federal and provincial government should start taking this long and costly effort seriously or “shut ’er down.”

Last week Pierre wound up her sixth and final year as chief commissioner on a slightly more hopeful note. This year, the Tla’amin Na-tion in the Powell River area and the Yale First Nation in the Fraser Canyon had their treaties proclaimed by Ottawa.

They join the Maa-nulth First Nations on Vancouver Island and the Tsawwas-sen First Nation in leaving behind the Indian Act and the courts to get on with self-government. Tsawwas-sen in particular has moved ahead aggressively.

Its shopping centre de-velopment near the ferry terminal is one of the largest commercial projects in the province right now.

All of these treaties were negotiated despite multiple overlapping territorial claims around them, and similar progress has been made with the Tsimshian

First Nations on the North Coast and elsewhere.

The need for aboriginal people to work out their overlapping claim issues between themselves was the focus of the commission’s 22nd annual report.

In it, former chief commis-sioners Miles Richardson of the Haida Nation and Steven Point of the Sto:lo Nation added their influen-tial voices, urging aboriginal communities to consider them shared territories, rather than clinging to an-cient tribal rivalries.

Another hopeful sign is that after seven years of commissions and studies, the federal government has finally given its negotia-tors a mandate to negotiate fisheries.

This is the main reason why the Tla’amin waited five long years for Ottawa’s blessing after their treaty had been hammered out.

This year’s landmark deci-sion of the Supreme Court of Canada, recognizing Tsilhqot’in Nation title in the remote Nemiah Valley, has also got the attention of Victoria and Ottawa. Pierre noted the “flurry of activity” by Premier Christy Clark in seeking reconcili-ation, which will culminate this month with a formal apology for the hanging of Tsilhqot’in chiefs 150 years ago.

Pierre said this court rul-ing “should destroy any lingering thoughts that this issue is not of the utmost importance, and provide the necessary investment, both financial and time commit-ment, to reach satisfactory conclusions.”

That’s the good news for B.C.’s thorniest historical problem, the lack of treaties across most of the province.

It’s also becoming clearer that the Tsilhqot’in ruling is unique.

It’s unlikely to be repeated by most other First Nations, even if they are willing and able to spend the years and millions to enrich lawyers in pursuit of it.

Here’s the bad news. As of this year, the B.C. Treaty Commission has paid out $627 million to First Na-tions to support treaty ne-

gotiations. Most of that is in the form of loans, which are to be repaid out of the cash settlements that Ottawa contributes to settle modern treaties.

Pierre acknowledges that some communities are close to completing treaties, but their debt has climbed to near what Ottawa is offer-ing. This would leave them free but broke.

Others are just “spinning their wheels” with no real hope of achieving a treaty, Pierre said.

The commission is calling for an “exit strategy” for these communities, starting with loan forgiveness that would allow them to pursue economic activity.

There are First Nations, Westbank and Osoyoos prominent among them, which are thriving without treaties

Haida and Klahoose have developed successful forest products businesses as they move toward self-govern-ment.

Federal and provincial governments must recog-nize the successes, and the failures.

Editor:In response to your headline of October 3

Immersion numbers down and the subsequent rather negative article, I would like to clarify a few things.

Enrollment in the entire Quesnel School District is down.

The district total enrollment went down by 76 students, and four of those were in the French Immersion program, so as a percentage of total students enrolled, it only went down by .3 percent.

As a parent of a child in the French Immersion program at Ecole Baker, I can tell you that the handful of children that left this year left because their parents had work opportunities elsewhere.

Those children are still in the French Immersion program, just not here in Quesnel.

We, like probably every other public elementary school in the district, lost children due to the strike.

St. Ann’s and NCCS both gained students this year, not necessarily because their parents were unhappy with their schools (and in our case, the opportunity to learn a second language), but more likely because they were concerned about their children missing out on education, or because they could no longer afford childcare.

Baker has had full (or overfull) K French Immersion classes for the past four years. Many parents in this district believe in the program and there are some who continue to support it even after their children have graduated with their Double Dogwood from Correlieu.

We continue to have an excellent program here, supported by active and involved parents. If anyone would like more information, please contact Ecole Baker at 250-992-8383.

“Darn! I’m proficient in two languages!” said no-one ever.

Keeping the historyHarry Jones was born at Caernarvonshire, Wales, September 29, 1840 and arrived in BC in 1863. He died February 25, 1936 and is buried at Stanley, BC. (from Richard Wright book, “Barkerville, Wil-liams Creek, Cariboo.)On your next visit to Barker-ville, take a detour through Stanley and stop at the cemetery. You will find Harry Jones new marker. He is right beside Capt. John Evans. Not only do the Friends help support Barkerville projects such as the newly restored Canadian Claim display which opened this summer but also help to “preserve, protect and promote” other sites within the Cariboo Goldfields. The Friends of Barkerville for a number of years have spent many volunteer hours fixing up the Stanley cemetery by restoring and paint-ing picket fences around the graves, repairing the fence surrounding the cemetery and with funding from the CRD have made it wheel chair accessible and installed an outhouse nearby.

From Cariboo Observer newspa-per February 29, 1936

Harry Jones, whose death oc-curred in Vancouver Sunday morning, Feb. 25, 1936, was one of Cariboo’s outstanding pioneers.

He came to Cariboo in the sum-mer of 1863 with a company of 27 Welshmen headed by the late “Captain” John Evans to mine gold on Lightning Creek. He was in his 23rd year at the time. Talisien Evans, son of the leader, and Harry were the two young-est members of the “Adventurers” company. To distinguish Harry Jones from eight other Jones in the party, he was known as “Henry VIII.” All of the men in the com-pany were given a number.

The Adventurers broke up in the fall of 1864 and about half of them returned to Wales. Some scattered to other parts of the Province and a few remained in Cariboo.

Harry Jones hiked out to the coast in the fall of 1884 and returned to Barkerville early in the following spring. One of his first jobs was in the famous Ericcson claim on Conklin’s gulch. In a few years, working under some of the ablest deep diggings men in the country, he became an expert, face man himself. One of his outstand-ing accomplishments was the Van Winkle drain tunnel in the early 1870’s which not only brought wealth to the Van Winkle share-holders but to the owners of three adjoining claims as well. Driven out by water, the crews of the Victoria, Vancouver and Vulcan stood by until the drain tunnel tapped the Van Winkle shaft. The tunnel then acted as a drain for all four claims.

When the best miners in Cariboo failed, Harry Jones took on the job and drove his tunnel through slum by reversing the accepted methods of timbering.

Mr. Jones went home to Wales in the winter of 1875-78 and returned again in the summer of 1888 and 1899 when he accepted a position where he was able charge of shaft operations for quite a long period.

With Kim B.Sc. (Pharm)There is much hype in the popular media about magic methods of losing weight. These can be herbal-based, like garcinia or fad diets where you cut out certain foods and eat only others. The secret to weight-loss is to eat regular foods in smaller amounts (except your veggies), choose sensibly when eating out in restaurants and choose daily exercising which is fun for you. It’s no magic!It’s well-known that diabetes is on the increase in North America. Some ethnic groups seem to be more susceptible to getting diabetes than others. These include people from India and Southeast Asia and First Nations people in Canada. Recent studies have shown that the incidence of the disease has risen more sharply among Chinese-Canadians. Reasons for this include more urban lifestyles, dietary changes and to some extent obesity is the cause.Eggs have in the past got a bad rap. However, eating an egg a day certainly won’t increase your risk of heart attacks and do content good nutrients for good health.When you get a new prescription from our pharmacy for the first time, we will let you know if there are any side effects that may affect your quality of life. Some side effects may not show up till later. As we age, some medications may affect our sense of balance. Antidepressants, some heart medications, pain relievers, sedatives and some antihistamines may cause this. Our pharmacists will be happy to talk to you anytime about your medications and any concerns you may have about them. It’s part of our job to keep you informed on all matters pertaining to your medications. We’re good listeners!

Making a Di� erenceFunded in part by the Warden Family Fund, Quesnel Community Living receives a grant of $5000 for the fencing of the Racing Road property. This property is used for a number of di� erent activities including a residential group home, a day program along with a number of social and recreational activities. For safety and security reasons the property needs to be fenced so that QCLA can continue to invite and host activates and ensure the safety of their residential clients and event participants. QCLA provides services to adults that require support in a variety of settings. They provide access, acceptance and assurance to adults living with developmental disabilities. The service can range from a few hours assistance in doing banking or shopping to a residential setting with 24 hour care. The people served are often the most vulnerable members of our society and with the support of QCLA they can achieve the independence they wish in their daily lives. QCLA has been working in Quesnel since 1959 striving for the best and most appropriate care for the consumer. Their members include people with developmental disabilities, advocates, families and caregivers, and community members who are interested in making a di� erence.

After securing the property on the corner of Reid Street and McNaughton Avenue, the Quesnel Lions Club have made fundraising for the construction of affordable, independent living for seniors a priority.

“We’d like to ultimately see a 30-unit building on that property,” Seniors Housing Society’s Peter Nielsen said.

Preliminary concept plans have been drawn up for the seniors housing complex and fundraising efforts have already topped $65,000 of the $1.5 million in cash and in-kind donations needed.

“The total cost is about $5 million but if the Lions can put together about $2 million, B.C. Housing will hold the mortgage for the balance,” Nielsen said.

The next phase

is creating official architectural renderings, traffic flow and the influence such a complex will have on local traffic and finalizing zoning, permits and bylaws.

“Optimistically, we hope to break ground in 2015 and be renting the suites by 2016,” he said.

“We’re looking at construction and supplies being procured as local as possible.”

The rental suites will be a mix of one bedroom and studio rentals with parking, a drop off and pick up area as well as a very walkable neighbourhood close to downtown amenities.

Knowing they have a long way to go doesn’t daunt Nielsen who has confidence this project will be a success.

Nielsen added the society is applying for grants from both the federal and provincial government as well as discussing options with large

corporation for block funding of the project.

“We welcome donations no matter

how small or large,” he said.

housing project visit the qlionshousing.ca contact any of the society members.

After a season of taking to the oval track it was all down to two final races for the Quesnel Auto Racers Association (QARA) to decide the 2014 points winners.

The drivers revved their engines, tires screeching as the rounded corners at break-neck speed for the last event of the season, the Fall Classic Invitational Sept. 27 – 28.

For the Quesnel Iron Street Stocks driver Byron Hesselgrave raced in with a tough to beat 65 points

the first day of racing, followed by 57 points the next day. Hesselgrave has shown himself to be tough competition, taking first place overall with a total of 277 points, a staggering 78 points more than this years second place winner.

Jason Howlett brought in a combined score of 66 points for the final two days of racing, boosting his final score up to 199 points for a second place win.

Third place overall went to driver Jesse Fisher. Though Fisher scored higher than Howlett

during the final days of racing, adding a total of 76 points to his final score count, he was unable to knock fellow QARA member Howlett out of second place.

For the Fireworks Warehouse Mini Stocks driver Dustin Brown flew by his opponents with a final 34 point lead after the Fall Classic, taking first place overall with a final score of 296 points.

With a grand total of 265 points driver Brian Zipser raced in for a second place win overall.

It was a close call for Mike Garcia, falling

only four points short of second place with a total of 261 points.

QARA awards dinner and dance to celebrate

the 2014 points winners will be held at the Billy Barker Casino Showroom Saturday, Nov. 22.

With frost soon to be

settling on the track drivers will pack away their gear and store their cars until next years racing season.


Back to back action It was a busy weekend for the ‘Roos, facing off against the Williams Lake Stampeders for the second time this season at the home opening game, Oct.11. The ‘Roos followed up with an afternoon on the ice taking on the Smithers Steelheads, Oct.11. For story see Friday’s Observer.
