B.C. Minister of Advanced Education Andrew Wilkinson was in Quesnel Tuesday to announce the one-time $153,000 funding to the College of New Caledonia Quesnel campus for 18 additional health-care assistant spaces.

Several post-secondary campuses around the province answered the call for proposals and Quesnel was one of the funding recipients.

Kathy Jaffary, CNC Quesnel spokesperson said they don’t offer the health-care assistant program as part of their baseline programs but rather it’s part of a rotation through several programs over several disciplines as the demand arises. The only current health profession baseline program is their nursing program.

These 18 spaces for health-care assistant are be-ing offered above and beyond our baseline pro-grams,” she said.

“And its only for this one year.”The 35-week health-care assistant program is

slated to begin Oct. 1, 2015 and staff are in place to teach this program.

“Spaces are filling up,” Jaffary said.“We expect all 18 spaces to be filled. Last time

we offered this program we had a wait list.”She added community indicators suggest all 18

graduates will be absorbed locally.Currently, there are 14 registered for the pro-

gram. Anyone interested in registering can call CNC.

CNC’s health-care assistants’ program provides skills to care for disabled individuals living in long-term care facilities or private homes. To help clients meet their needs in all dimensions of health in their home or in a facility, the program prepares students to help with assessments, communication and activities of daily living (such as nutrition and personal hygiene.)

One-time funding for short-duration health edu-cation programs helps address the immediate needs of specific communities so the supply of trained health-care workers is aligned with demand.

Wilkinson added it’s important to offer programs in the communities that demonstrate a local need.

“Students can train in Quesnel and then choose to stay and work in the Cariboo to support the healthcare needs of their communities.”

Health-care assistant spaces open up at CNC

Culture Day includes Chalk ChallengeJust one of the hundreds of activities slated for Quesnel and across the province during Culture Days Sept. 25 – 27 is the Great Sidewalk Chalk Challenge where children within the school district at various schools including private and home-schooled, will cre-ate sidewalk art to be judged Sept. 25 at 10 a.m. Home-schooled students can participate at the Arts and Rec Centre.

Crews respond to abandoned campfireOn the August 29-30

weekend, the BC Wildfire Service responded to four new human-caused wildfires in the Cariboo Fire Centre.

One of those wildfires was sparked by an abandoned campfire.

This wildfire, located at Suey Bay on Horsefly Lake, was discovered on Sunday, August 30.

Thanks to reports from the public, crews were able to respond quickly and contained the fire at 1.5 hectares.

Thirteen firefighters and a helicopter are on site today to extinguish any remaining hot spots.

This wildfire is under investigation and the BC Wildfire Service is asking the public for assistance. Anyone with information about suspicious activity around the Suey Bay Recreation Site on the weekend is encouraged to call BC Crime Stoppers anonymously at 1 800 222-8477 or submit a web tip at www.bccrimestoppers.com

Although campfire bans have been lifted throughout most of B.C., they remain prohibited west of the

Fraser River within the Cariboo Fire Centre’s jurisdiction.

If campfires are allowed in your area, always ensure that your campfire is completely extinguished and the ashes are cool to the touch before leaving the area for any length of time.

Campfires must not be larger than 0.5 metres high by 0.5 metres wide.

Patrols will be conducted throughout the Labour Day weekend to ensure that people are complying with provincial legislation related to campfire use and open burning.

The Compliance and Enforcement Branch and the Conservation Officer Service patrolled 186 campsites within the Cariboo Fire Centre last weekend.

Two tickets were issued, for an oversized campfire and for an abandoned campfire.

Anyone found in contravention of an open burning prohibition may be issued a ticket for $345, required to pay an administrative penalty of $10,000 or, if convicted in court, fined up to $100,000

and/or sentenced to one year in jail.

If the contravention causes or contributes to a wildfire, the person responsible may be ordered to pay all firefighting and associated costs.

To report a wildfire, abandoned campfire or open burning violation, call 1 800 663-5555 toll-free or dial *5555 on a cellphone.

For further information

on current wildfire activity, burning restrictions, road closures and air quality advisories, visit: www.bcwildfire.ca or call 1 888 3-FOREST.

Does an intense memory of the recent Pan Am and Paralympic Games leave you with a restless pang for international competition?

Then why not whet that appetite by visiting Barkerville Historic Town and Park on Labour Day, Sept. 7?

The National Historic Site of Canada’s 12th Annual Williams Creek Sports Day and Goldfield Bakery Pie Eating Contest will competitively squeeze out the last drops of summer with one more chance to taste victory – literally and figuratively.

From noon to 3:30 p.m. on Sept. 7, British

Columbia’s largest Gold Rush heritage attraction will offer enthusiastic attendees more than a dozen different types of family activities and games, including the Broad Jump, Funny Face contest, Cracker-Eating Whistle Races, a 10-pound Hammer Toss, Greasy Pole Climb, Tug o’ War and Ladies’ Egg and Spoon Race.

At 4:15 p.m., Barkerville’s Goldfield Bakery will present its celebrated annual Pie-Eating Contest, which challenges children and adults from all over the province to compete for the coveted title of “fastest

handless pie-eater in the West.”

“You haven’t seen gastronomic joy until you’ve seen two dozen kids covered in banana-cream pie filling,” Carleigh Drew, Barkerville’s marketing, products and activities officer said.

“The Goldfield Bakery Pie Eating Contest is a beloved Barkerville tradition and we’re confident that this year’s winner will be the fastest ever.”

As a special treat this year, Barkerville’s Chinatown interpretation program is jumping in on the fun.

From 3:30 – 4 p.m.,

nestled between all the games and desserts, the first life-sized, live-action dramatization of a Chinese Chess game in North American history will take place on the streets of Barkerville. Utilizing a hand-crafted chess board of human

proportions, Barkerville’s cast of unique historical characters will recount the tale of a great battle between two infamous Chinese armies that serves as the mythology behind the game of Xiangqi (more commonly known as Chinese Chess). Spectators are most welcome and can expect to learn the rules of the Chinese Chess while witnessing game-play of epic proportions.

For more information on Barkerville’s 12th Annual Williams Creek Sports Day and Goldfield Bakery Pie Eating Contest, or any of Barkerville’s 2015 special events, visit www.barkerville.ca.

Bouchie Lake is the most recent community in the Cariboo Chilcotin to unveil a new accessible trail. The Claymine Low Mobility Trail was built in partner-ship between the Cariboo Regional District (CRD), the Bouchie Lake Recreation Commission, Northern De-velopment Initiative Trust, Cariboo Chilcotin Beetle Ac-tion Coalition and the pro-vincial government through the BC Community Recre-ation Program.

Approximately one kilo-metre in length and with a gentle grade, the Claymine Low Mobility Trail winds through lush forest, loop-ing around a large boulder, before travelling back to the trailhead. A wide variety of wildlife and bird species can be spotted in the area and there is an active herons’ nest in the vicinity of the trail. An accessible outhouse, accessi-ble picnic table and an infor-mation kiosk are available at the trailhead.

“The Claymine Low Mo-bility Trail is another stel-lar project – a lasting legacy as part of the more than $400,000 given to the Cari-boo Regional District for the development of 14 acces-

sible trails,” Peter Fassbend-er, Minister of Community, Sport and Cultural Develop-ment and Minister Respon-sible for TransLink. said.

“The B.C. Government is proud to support the com-pletion of these significant trails. Providing barrier-free outdoor amenities benefits all of us, ensuring more people can engage in fun, healthy activities on their own, or while enjoying qual-ity time with others.”

“Congratulations to the Cariboo Regional District on continuing to build out-door recreation options for residents and visitors. The vision of creating accessible trails throughout the Cari-boo is admirable. I wish to also thank the volunteers of the Bouchie Lake Recreation Commission for their ongo-ing maintenance and care of the trail – you have done an outstanding job,” Coralee Oakes, MLA Cariboo North said.

“This is a momentous day for Bouchie Lake and I am extremely pleased that we have now completed the Claymine Low Mobility Trail,” CRD Electoral Area Director Jerry Bruce added.

“However, this was just

the next step in making the Cariboo Chilcotin one of the most attractive wheelchair accessible tourism destina-tions in the world; bring-ing people of all abilities to a pristine area to enjoy our great outdoors.”

“It is very exciting to have the Claymine Accessible Trail complete. The trail will allow users with a wide variety of mobility levels to enjoy the beautiful natural surroundings and wildlife at the site,” Angela Mezza-testa, Facility Agent for the Bouchie Lake Recreation Commission, said.

“We look forward to a greater diversity of visi-tors enjoying Claymine and would like to thank every-one who helped bring this trail to completion.”

“More accessible wilder-ness trails means more peo-ple can enjoy the beauty of the Cariboo – improving quality of life for residents and the travelling experience for visitors. Northern De-velopment is proud to have provided financial support for this project through our Community Halls and Rec-reation Facilities program,” Northern Development Ini-tiative Trust CEO Janine

North, said.“The Cariboo Chilcotin

Beetle Action Coalition is excited to be a part of this regional project,” stated CC-BAC Chair, Bob Simpson.

“It is an excellent example of how partnerships, cooper-ation and collaboration can achieve great results. Proj-ects such as the Claymine Accessible Trail improve our communities by making our region accessible to all and enhance the visitor experi-ence in the Cariboo Chilco-tin.”

The Claymine Low Mobil-ity Trail is located approxi-mately 15 kilometres west of Quesnel. Visitors should cross the Moffat Bridge, heading west from Quesnel, and then turn right onto Elliot Street and then left onto North Fraser Drive. North Fraser Drive will become Blackwater Road. From Blackwater Road, visi-tors should turn right onto Claymine Road; the destina-tion will appear on the left hand side.

Ongoing management of the site is provided by the Bouchie Lake Recreation Commission.

New ‘hands-on’ curriculum for B.C.

TOM FLETCHERBlack Press

The new school year in B.C. is the start of a three-year transition to a new curriculum that Education Minister Mike Bernier says will emphasize “hands-on” learning.

The new curriculum is being phased in this year for Kindergarten to Grade 9, with higher grades still in development. Bernier said this year it will be up to local school districts and teachers to begin implementing it before it becomes mandatory in the fall of 2016. Grade 10-12 curriculum is to be mandatory in 2017.

Bernier, the Peace River South MLA appointed education minister this summer, said he’s heard from teachers who are looking forward to a curriculum that allows more flexibility and individual learning.

He stressed that basic skills of reading, writing and arithmetic will remain, but students will also be taught life skills, communication, collaboration and critical thinking.

Two areas of emphasis for the new curriculum are environmental education and an aboriginal perspective, which Bernier said will be present in “every single component in the curriculum.” Local schools are encouraged to work with aboriginal communities across the province to represent the full diversity of aboriginal experience, he said.

Hands-on learning is already in place in schools, and Bernier used the example of a shop teacher

in his home town of Dawson Creek who encouraged students at risk of dropping out to take his course. They learned mathematics and physics through taking motors apart and reassembling them, he said.

Bernier invited parents to look for themselves at grade-by-grade documents posted at curriculum.gov.bc.ca, listing learning standards and areas of emphasis.

In the science curriculum, for example, students are to be taught “big ideas” that in grade one include “observable patterns and cycles occur in the local sky and landscape.”

By Grade 8, they are to learn at “Earth and its climate have changed over geological time.”

Science competencies required by grade seven include the ability to “exercise a healthy, informed

skepticism and use scientific knowledge and findings for their own investigations to evaluate claims in secondary sources” such as media reports.

By that time they should be able to identify possible sources of error in their investigations, understand qualitative and quantitative evidence and “demonstrate an an awareness of assumptions … and bias in their own work and secondary sources.”

Fact of lifeThe on-air shootings in Virginia that

left television news reporter Ali-son Parker and cameraman Adam

Ward dead, and interview subject Vicki Gardner wounded, cannot be avoided.

Unwitting viewers of their station were suddenly eyewitnesses this week to an ap-palling, cold-blooded crime, when all they thought they were watching was an innoc-uous interview on tourism.

While major news outlets exercised some restraint, the spread of social media – and the consequent ease with which we can ac-cess images – has ensured that many of us were also eyewitnesses to murder, without much choice.

Some may decry the media themselves, and urge further limits. But, in many ways, the very availability of such sickening im-agery is a reminder that we can’t turn a blind eye to a plague of violence that af-flicts all of us, no matter where in the world we live. It is a fact of life, and we are not cushioned by distance or comfort-ing notions that, terrible as it may be, it is someone else’s problem.

There is another fact of life – brought to us vividly by this tragedy – that cannot be avoided.

When gunman Vester Lee Flanagan took video of himself as he – seemingly calmly – took aim at his victims Wednesday, he bore witness to a simple truth. He reaffirmed that guns are deadly weapons, capable of ending lives in a matter of seconds.

Flanagan described himself on Facebook as a “powderkeg ready to blow up.” As in so many other cases, this ‘powderkeg’ had a gun in his hands.

Believing himself to be a victim of sys-temic racism, he had legally purchased the pistol, and the hollow-point ammunition, in the wake of another tragedy, one in which another ‘powderkeg,’ Dylann Roof, killed nine people in a Charleston church in June.

From the relative comfort of our small corner of White Rock and South Surrey, it is easy to point fingers at our neighbours to the south and urge them to adopt more stringent gun controls. Canada, for what-ever reason, has never had the same sense that bearing arms is a basic, constitutional right, or the belief that allowing citizens to carry loaded weapons contributes to a safer society.

But at the same time, we cannot claim a holier-than-thou attitude. We cannot claim that gun violence has never intruded here, even on the quiet Semiahmoo Peninsula. And the Virginia tragedy poses questions that none of us can hide from.

Can we truly know what’s going on in other people’s heads? Can we recognize when anger has reached a flash-point? Would we trust our gun-carrying neigh-bour to protect us – or would we suspect that some day, that same weapon might be used to victimize us?

–BP

The popular online news site The Huff-ington Post just

published an irresponsible series of articles and images promoting pit bulls as safe family dogs for their second annual “Pit Bull Week.”

During those seven days a 25 year old woman was killed by her own beloved pit bull of 10 years, a 48 year old woman was mauled to death by her neighbour’s pit bull on her way to the mail-box, a toddler was rushed to hospital in critical condition because of his family pit bull, and at least 10 other people were savagely attacked in the U.S. by pit bulls. None of these horrifying tragedies were covered by the Huff-ington Post.

To be fair, many media outlets didn’t publish these gruesome accounts. Perhaps in part because of the fero-cious backlash from the vo-cal minority every time a news item presents pit bulls as anything but a harmless dog full of waggles and licks.

The reason pit bulls get a bad rap is because they’ve earned it.

Contrary to what the well funded bit bull advocacy camp likes to declare, the press is not to blame. They don’t make these wretched stories up.

There are over 300 dog

breeds worldwide and the American Kennel Club rec-ognizes 167 of them, but the ones we hear about most in the media is by far the pit bulls, referring to the Staf-fordshire Bull Terrier, Amer-ican Pit Bull Terrier, Ameri-can Staffordshire Terrier and their mixes with predomi-nant pit bull characteristics.

The articles come from op-posite ends of the spectrum: propaganda, such as what’s seen on the Huffington Post regularly, and factual, such as the severe and deadly mauling incidents that have become so disturbingly com-mon you rarely see them cir-culating on social media.

To clarify, I am a huge ani-mal lover and I don’t blame these dogs for the problem they’ve become. They are also victims and this was en-tirely human caused.

Pit bulls were bred to be exceptional fighter dogs, to bite down, clamp and shake, and to hold onto their victim

while they are being inflicted with physical pain them-selves. They were never bred to be nanny dogs – that is an absolute myth that was de-bunked even by the pit bull advocacy group “BADRAP” which admitted promoting this belief was dangerous to children.

That retraction has been highly publicized, yet it is still repeated by pit bull ad-vocates constantly.

This is why despicable lowlifes use these powerful animals for their horrendous dog fighting rings. They don’t have to train them. Hundreds of years of inbred dog aggression gives them that instinct, and with their powerful jaws and muscular bodies they’re a force to be reckoned with.

II have written on this sub-ject before, so I know what’s coming: an onslaught of hostility over my ignorance, and demands that I do my research. Believe me, I have.

I’ve been reading up on this daily for the last four years and the more I learn, the more I support breed-spe-cific legislation (BSL). Any-one who truly loves pit bulls should support it as well.

Currently a million of them are euthanized every year in the U.S. If spaying and neu-tering is made mandatory and backyard breeding is

outlawed, far less pit bulls would be born in the first place, leading to far less of them dying as a result.

These pets are grandfa-thered and can live out the rest of their natural lives as long as they don’t prove themselves to be a menace.

The intention of BSL for pit bulls is to eliminate mauling injuries and deaths by the breed that inflicted the majority of severe and deadly attacks on humans and animals. It will require responsible dog ownership and hold these people ac-countable if they don’t abide by the reasonable laws im-plemented to keep the com-munity safe.

More than 40 countries re-strict pit bulls, and no coun-tries except Canada and the U.S. even allow their im-portation. How brutal must the bloodbath get, and how high must the death toll rise before we stop this insan-ity? Enforced BSL works, so let’s stop it now before we’re as bad off as our national neighbour.

Editor:Re: Chief judge reviews

online court records (bclocalnews.com, Aug. 20).

As a landlord in this province I would first like to state that I very much appreciate having limited access to public court records pertaining to potential tenants. Court Services Online is just one valuable tool that I can use to help determine the suitability of an applicant, not just with respect to my own personal and professional interests, but also for the sake of doing what I can to ensure that all of my tenants remain safe in

their homes.While I myself take the

necessary time to look at and consider the nature of any charges, dates, participants and possible dispositions, I do feel that this information is presented in a manner that may not be correctly interpreted by some people, although I do not believe the solution is to remove public access to this information.

Recently I was able to use CSO as a resource to engage a tenant applicant in a direct, honest conversation about their past criminal convictions and current parole conditions.

I am proud to say that this

led to a successful tenancy for someone who may not have otherwise been able to secure decent and affordable accommodations due to their history.

I value having public access to this information and believe that it can positively serve our society if used with appropriate diligence.

Perhaps something can be done to educate employers, landlords and others so that CSO can continue to be used in a manner that does not unduly penalize people for merely having had contact with our court system.

Quesnel Live Arts (QLA) is once again providing a stellar lineup of entertainment for

its 2015/2016 season. With six shows scheduled, there’s something for everyone from the very popular Tiller’s Folly to a one-woman play covering the six wives of Henry VIII.

Each year, the members of QLA labour over the decision of what to include in their coming season. They look for a balance of musical and stage performances with wide appeal to audiences across the community. They have been doing this for more than 50 years and with a discerning eye to the broadest possible interest they make their selections.

In order to offer the best value and allow the public to plan their entertainment season, season tickets are available which guarantees you a reserved seat at every performance. QLA members will be at the Quesnel Farmers’ Market Sept 12 and 19 selling season’s tickets and distributing the lineup pamphlet. Individual performance tickets and season’s tickets are also available at Save-On Foods, KMAX, Green Tree Health and Wellness, at the door or in advance by calling 250-747-2207.

Sponsorship is a very important aspect of QLA as those dollars provide, in part, the funding for the high-quality performances. With sponsors who have committed for many years, QLA

expresses its heart-felt thank you. For anyone considering joining the list of sponsors, just contact Brenda Paulson, 250-255-7127. There are several options for sponsorship.

Beginning Oct. 8, Quartetto Gelato � rst and foremost is a skilled musical quartet that incorporates dry humour and clowning around. Their performance is often a mix of virtuosic showpieces, romantic tenor arias, pyrotechnical solos, blazing gypsy show pieces which includes a world accordion champion.

The second performance Nov. 8, is Gordie McKeeman and his Rhythm Boys who hail from Prince Edward Island and rock the stage with stunning � ddle work, jaw-droppping stagecraft and showmanship all with a backdrop of traditional bluegrass and roots music.

Into 2016, the third concert, Jan. 29, brings the critically acclaimed Tiller’s Folly, an acoustic power trio of

experienced, accomplished celtic rootts musicians.

Sarah Hagen takes to the stage, Feb. 19, 2016, providing innovative, interpretive piano performances. Combining her own creative interpretation of classical piano, Sarah often also includes photography, dance and spoken word in her shows.

March 13 is a special treat for QLA supporters with Tara Travis’ one-woman show Till Death Do us Part, the six wives of Henry VIII. Henry’s wives meet in the afterlife as each dies, vying for the favourite’s position until Henry

arrives and everything changes. Travis is brilliant in the multiple-role production.

The � nal performance, Eva Cassidy Tribute, April 6, 2016, pays homage to a rising star that never made it to the top in her lifetime which was cut short by cancer. Cayla Brooke, along with a four-piece band, provides a wonderful interpretation of this young songster’s musical life in a cabaret-style stage show.

Season tickets are $125 for all six shows, or $25 per show, seniors and youth are $100 for all six shows or $20 per show. All performances are at Chuck Mobley Theatre unless otherwise noted. All shows begin at 7:30 p.m.

attend. In lieu of � owers please make

a donation to the Canadian Diabetes Association in

Terry Fox’ legacy lives on in the millions

of people around the world who strap on their runners and participate in the Terry Fox Run in September. It was Terry’s dream to find a cure for cancer as he lost his leg in 1977 to osteogenic sarcoma (bone cancer.)

For more than 10 years, Quesnel Rotary has taken on the volunteer task of organizing the local Terry Fox Run which is slated for Sept. 20 this year.

The first Marathon of Hope began April 12, 1980 with Terry dipping his foot in the Atlantic Ocean in Newfoundland, then carrying on a gruelling 42 kilometre daily run over 143 days and 5,373 kilometres.

Tragically, he was forced to stop running outside

Thunder Bay, Ontario because cancer had appeared in his lungs. But not before he galvanized an entire country behind his heroic effort to raise $1 for every Canadian to find a cure for cancer. This was accomplished Feb. 1, 1981 when the Canadian population reached 24.1 million and the Marathon of Hope fund totalled $24.17 million.

To date the Terry Fox Foundation has raised almost $700 million worldwide and is one of the largest, independent organizations in Canada currently funding cancer research with 1,212 cancer research projects funded to date.

Tim Cawdell participates every year partly because of his Rotary commitment but also because he believes and supports the Terry Fox Foundation and the work they do.

But possibly the best motivator for the past four years is Tim’s dog Sadii.

“She’s a strong supporter of the Terry Fox Run or at least that’s how I interpret her enthusiasm,” he said with a laugh.

The five-km walk around the River Front Trail is a great outing for humans and pets and Tim said this year Rotary is encouraging everyone to “Bring One More.”

“Bring one more participant or one more donation,” he said.

“Every little bit brings us one step closer to the cure.”

Whenever Tim reflects on the monumental effort by Terry Fox himself, he feels humbled by the mere 5-km walk in Quesnel.

“We can all do 5-km, I figure,” he said.

There’s no entry fee, no minimum pledge, its non-competitive and no sponsorship

required.Just show up with

a donation and walk, run, bike, roller-blade, skateboard, whatever you want, just enjoy yourself.

Terry dedicated 143 days to the cause he believe in, the Terry Fox Run requires maybe two hours, not a mammoth feat.

Quesnel’s Mayor Bob Simpson has been challenged, as have the other northern mayors, to raise $1 for each resident in

the community, so let’s get out and see Quesnel meet that challenge.

Even if you can’t complete the 5-km River Front Trail just drop by LeBourdais Park between 9 – 10 a.m. and drop off a donation. That’s registration time for the Terry Fox Run and the event begins at 10 a.m.

For information or more background on the Terry Fox Foundation and event visit terryfox.org.

Have you ever wanted to travel. That’s what Tim Van Horn of Red Deer, Alberta is doing. He’s continuing his Canadian Mosaic Project, which is a photo collage that will be revealed on Canada Day 2017 in Victoria, British Columbia for Canada’s 150th birthday.

Van Horn started his mission Oct. 1, 2008 to photograph every Canadian that he comes in contact with.

“I started to take pictures of people’s faces that first year,” Van Horn said.

“I started to see something important come together. Not just the multi-cultural aspect, which was how I was angling it the first year, but seeing this portrait of our collective humanity sort of take form.”

Van Horn was amazed to see the people and things the country has to offer.

“I got hooked on it,” Van Horn said.

“I was like wow this is

amazing, look at all these different people and all these different stories weaving into this one mosaic.” Currently, Van Horn is in his seventh year and has taken pictures of 41,000 people from five trips. He believes our country has never been properly portrayed.

“Never in the history of our country have the people been properly documented. All to often when people go out to photograph Canada it’s the country, it’s the landscape, but their’s no face to who we are.”

None of his photos are pre-arranged, he asks everyone he comes in contact with. Van Horn grew up in a military family, so he’s use to moving around and is conscious of what a sense of duty means.

“I felt my whole life that I needed to do something for the people,” Van Horn said.

“Not the government and so I set out to put a face to who we are.”

With that he decided to come up with the Canadian Mosaic project. Canada Day 2017, Van Horn will have a 40-foot bus on display for the public that

shows the objective he set out to complete.

“It’s completely wrapped in portrait and text and inspirations and it rolls across the country and beams out this beautiful message who we are, what is life about.”

He also has a passion to educate youth. Van Horn will conduct a speaking tour for kids at school’s across the country to spread his message about living your dream and finding your purpose in life. He has enjoyed his trips and loves Canada, but can’t believe the size of the country.

“You can’t believe how big it is,” Van

Horn said.“To see Canada properly

doesn’t take two weeks, it doesn’t take two months. It takes two lifetimes, it’s gi-normous.”

The Quesnel medal winners celebrate on the podium at the 2015 British Columbia provincial swim meet.

Swimmers win big at provincialsRYAN GRAHAM

Observer Reporter The 2015 B.C. Summer

Swimming Association pro-vincial championship Aug. 17-23 at Saanich Common-wealth Place in Victoria, B.C. with Quesnel swim-mers coming out on top.

Four swimmers brought home medals from pro-vincials, they include, Audrey Jespersen, Lauren Pastachak, Casey Fisher and Lucy Jespersen. Audry finished provincials with gold in the 200-meter individual medley, 50-meter freestyle, 100-meter free-style, 200-meter freestyle relay and 100-meter back-stroke. She also won silver in the 200-meter medley relay.

Pastachak won gold in the 100-meter individual med-ley, 100-meter freestyle, and 200-meter freestyle relay.

She took home silver in the 200-meter medley relay and 50-meter back-stroke.

Pastachak also won bronze in the 50 meter free-style. Her total points had her third among 33 other division three teams.

Fisher won gold in the

200-meter freestyle relay and silver in the 200-meter medley relay.

Jespersen won gold in the 200-meter freestyle relay and claimed silver in the 200-meter medley relay and 50-meter freestyle. They broke a provincial re-cord for division four girls, in the 200-meter freestyle relay, that stood for five years.

“I love the way you feel when your standing be-hind the block, when your getting ready to race,” Pastachak said

All four love swimming and think it’s a fun sport, which keeps you active, as well as competitive.

Practice varies day-to-day, as they focus on different strokes.

“Someday’s it will be harder, sometimes easier de-pending on what our coach feels is right,” Jespersen said.

After receiving their

medals they felt different emotions, but were excited they won.

“I was really happy, excited and kind of over-whelmed,” Jespersen said. Even with their medals, all of them have goals they would like to set moving forward.

Some include getting stronger, joining winter swimming and improving as a swimmer.

A couple even have a long-term goal of swimming in the Olympics one day.

“This year was really the first year that everything has sort of come together for me,” Fisher said.

“I’ve actually started plac-ing, getting good times and doing better.”

Provincials brought per-sonal best times for Lauren Larsen, Natalie Bergeron, Owen Larsen, Pastachak, Shawn Fisher, Audrey and Lucy, Casey, Olivia Crocker, Dawson McGillivray and Baylee McGillivray.

Chris McGauley, coach of the Sealions was im-pressed with the effort and performance that his team showed.

“We had an excellent pro-vincials,” McGauley said. Quesnel swimmers stand on the podium at provincials.

RYAN GRAHAMObserver Reporter

The hunt for the 2016 Memorial Cup is about to begin, with the Quebec Major Ju-nior Hockey League, Ontario Hockey League, and West-ern Hockey League starting their seasons. The QMJHL season begins Sept. 10, while the OHL and WHL start on Sept. 24. Last year, the Oshawa Generals won the 2015 Memorial Cup championship when they defeated the Kelowna Rockets 2-1 in Quebec City. This year’s tournament will be held May.19-29 in Red Deer, Alberta, and will be hosted by the Red Deer Rebels. The Memorial Cup has launched play-ers into the spotlight before, as they can use it as a springboard into the National Hockey League. Most players ranked at the top of the draft board are usually cemented in those positions, but for players ranked lower it can be a great way to catch the eye of general managers and scouts, with a good showing. Time will tell which junior team will be crowned champions of the Canadian Hockey League and what story lines emerge from the season, but it will sure be an excit-ing one to follow.

The journey to the

Memorial Cup
