AUTUMN MacDONALD

Observer Reporter

This is a continuation of a second degree murder trial in Quesnel Supreme Court. For previous cover-age check online at www.quesnelobserver .com or in past issues of the Ob-server.

The woman in cabin num-ber one took the stand in the Crown’s case Wednes-day morning, stating she never felt threatened by Al-bert Boivin throughout the evening.

“Were you afraid of him? [Boivin]” Crown asked.

“No,” the woman re-plied.

“Did he threaten you at all?” Crown said.

“No, just general name calling,” the woman an-swered, adding it was not uncommon for Boivin to call her names.

Boivin’s body was found July 22, 2009 outside the brown cabins on Lewis Drive. Upon arrival at the scene RCMP arrested Ken Price initially for aggravat-ed assault and later on for second degree murder.

Crown asked the woman (the only witness to the event) her accounts of what transpired that evening.

The woman testifi ed herself and Boivin were drinking and doing drugs when Price arrived. Price and the woman left to buy booze, returning shortly to Boivin’s cabin where all drank and “chatted.”

At one point in the night Boivin suggested sexual contact between the wom-

an and Price.The woman testifi ed

when both she and Price denied the contact, Boivin became angry.

“He wasn’t very happy about that,” she said.

The woman testifi ed she was “very drunk” but said she remembered going into Boivin’s bedroom where she heard the two men ar-guing in the living room.

“I could see them wres-tling a bit,” she said.

“Next thing Albert is fall-ing into the bedroom door and bleeding.”

The woman said she at-tempted to stop the bleed-ing with a shirt she found on the bedroom fl oor, when she couldn’t she said she went to a neighbours to call 911.

Defence questioned the woman on how well she knew Price. The two had been family friends for close to 20 years.

“Ever known him [Price] to be a violent man?” de-fence asked.

“No,” she answered.“Ever known him to have

a temper?”“No.”“Ever known him to car-

ry a knife?”“No.”“Didn’t you witness

Boivin beat up your boy-friend over a drug debt?” defence pursued.

“Yes,” she answered.“Didn’t you once see him

chase a man with a ma-chete?”

“Yes.”“Then I’m going to sug-

gest you were afraid of him,” defence said.

“No, not really,” she an-swered.

Defence also inquired about the mood in the cab-in prior to the incident.

“Fine,” she replied.“So everyone is getting

along until you refuse Boivin. You refuse him sexual favours and he gets angry.”

The woman agreed.“And Boivin’s not the guy

you want angry,” defence said.

“No,” she replied.Defence also pointed to

the woman’s testimony of Price and Boivin fi ght-ing for approximately “20 minutes” in the living room.

“Do you see all the bot-tles standing upright on the coffee table?” defence asked, referring to a photo-graph taken by the investi-gators post incident.

“Yes,” she said.“There’s nothing out of

order in that room,” de-fence said.

In the 2010 preliminary inquiry the woman testi-fi ed she remembered at one point in the evening Price saying “Leave her alone, Albert,” but could not be certain when it was said.

Crown wrapped up its case Wednesday. Thursday defence began, calling a man to the stand who tes-tifi ed he used to work for Boivin.

The man testifi ed he was a “chronic crack user for 12 years” and worked as a “door-man” for Boivin in the brown cabins for about a year in 2007.

Sheila 250-747-2577

In light of much community dis-cussion regarding

in camera (closed to the public) meetings and the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (FOIPPA), staff brought two reports to Council for infor-mation.

FOIPPAThe purpose of

FOIPPA is to make public bodies more accessible, while protecting personal privacy. Public bodies must not disclose personal information: related to medical in-formation; related to employment, occupa-tional or educational history; describing a third party’s fi nances; containing personal recommendations or evaluations; contain-ing a third party’s name, address or telephone number. One exception to this is payments or benefi ts provided to employees, which can be disclosed.

The City has re-ceived 23 FOIPPA requests since May 1, 2012. Given the signifi cant increase in these types of

requests, as well as general information requests, a line will be added to the 2013 budget to account for the associated costs, including staff time, legal costs, and audit costs.

In camera

(closed)

meetingsIt is a common

misconception that closed meetings are held only to discuss “the three L’s,” land, legal and labour is-sues.

While this is largely correct, there are instances when other items may be discussed, such as confi dential law en-forcement issues, new municipal services, and setting goals and objectives for the City.

Council does not determine whether a meeting should be closed or open; it is staff’s responsibility to determine whether a meeting should

be closed under the Community Charter.

The Charter recog-nizes that for corpo-rate and commercial purposes, municipali-ties should be able to operate in a fashion similar to other cor-porations. Without this ability, the City could overpay for purchased goods and services, not be able to attract employees, and be at a disad-vantage in litigation. These would add to the City’s costs and have an impact on taxes.

Other News

• Council received the Second Quarter Financial Update. The City’s capital program is well underway, with many projects either complete or in progress. One large project, the Roddis Street rehabilitation, has been postponed to 2013. On the operating side, while some areas are over budget and some are under budget, it is an-ticipated that overall expenses will come in on budget.• Council approved two development per-mits. The fi rst is for

a property at 2180 Gassoff Road (Make Traxx Recreation). The proposed addi-tion is 212 square metres and includes a service bay and an open, covered display area. The second is for a 142 m2 second-fl oor addition at 391 Johnston Ave. (Den-garry Professional Services).• Council added the Roddis House at the Antique Machinery Park to its Heritage Register. The Quesnel and District Heritage Association asked for the house to be added so the group can apply for funding for building improve-

ments. They hope to set it on a foundation, make roof repairs and use it to display some of the domestic equip-ment they have.• Council recognized Zach Boesem for his epic longboard trip from Quesnel to Van-couver to raise funds and awareness for the Canadian Cancer Society. Boesem made the 700 kilometre trip in 12 days. He’s already planning a new adventure for next year.• Council welcomed the new Miss Quesnel Self Development Program royalty to their roles as commu-nity ambassadors.

Protein for Optimal HealthThe key ingredient in good healthy eating is protein. What does protein do for your body, you might ask? Proteins are nutrients needed by our bodies essential for building muscle as well as maintenance and repair for tissues such as skin, hair and internal organs. Protein supports the body in all major functions, muscle contraction, digestion, metabolism, transportation of nutrients and oxygen to the blood, the balance and function of hormones, red blood cells and enzymes. Protein also plays a crucial role in your immune system. When you take in a protein it breaks down in the body into amino acids, 22 amino acids to be exact. Your body can make 14 of the amino acids but the other 8 are essential and must be obtained from food sources. Complete proteins are foods that contain all of the essential amino acids. These foods include beef, chicken, fi sh, and dairy products and just about anything else derived from animal sources. Incomplete proteins do not have all of the essential amino acids and generally include plant sources such as vegetables, fruits, grains, seeds and nuts. Vegans and vegetarians can get complete proteins from their foods by food combining. Examples of food combining are rice and beans, whole grain bread and nut butter, and ancient grain cereal and almond milk. Choosing a protein powder is also benefi cial for those times when you need a quick nutritional boost. Protein powders include Whey, Rice, Soy (Fermented Only), Pumpkin, Hemp and Pea. A protein supplement that is nutritional powerhouse is Spirulina. This blue-green microalgae is rich in protein, vitamins, minerals, lipids, carotenoids and antioxidants. This dynamite healing super food is available in capsules, tablets and powder.There are many different ways to balance your protein and a variety of foods in different combinations will give your body the most benefi t, Naturally!

from frontThe man explained he would

watch the door, answer the door, see who it was and see how much “product” they wanted.

The man testifi ed Boivin’s residence was “wall-to-wall” weapons, specifying knifes, swords and baseball bats.

“You name it, he had it,” the man said.

The man also testifi ed Boivin would trade sexual favours for crack.

“But he wouldn’t always give them the rock after they were done,” he said.

“He would smack them up-side the head and throw them out the door.”

The man also testifi ed he witnessed Boivin drag women into his bedroom.

“He’d grab them, throw them in his room and have his way with them,” he said.

When asked if he had ever had an “altercation” with Boivin the man said he had

been “head-butted, a gun held to his head and grabbed by the throat.”

“Did you ever do anything to provoke him?” defence asked.

“No,” the man answered.Crown questioned the man

on his criminal record; he noted “one or two charges of assault” and a marijuana pos-session charge.

“And what did you do when Mr. Boivin had his way with these women?” Crown asked.

“Absolutely nothing,” the man replied.

“What was I supposed to do?”

Next defence called Rob-ert Marsh to the stand, who visited Price at the Quesnel RCMP detachment, July 23. Marsh testifi ed he visited with Price for “about 10 min-utes.” Marsh said he noted “marks” on Price’s neck.

“It was red,” he said.“He looked bruised up.”Crown’s next witness was

Michelle Daniels, Price’s com-

mon-law-wife. Daniels visited Price at the Quesnel RCMP detachment July 24.

Daniels testifi ed she saw Price for about fi ve to 10 minutes and was “shocked” at his ap-pearance.

“I said, ‘Did they take pic-tures of you?’” she said, add-ing she noted Price’s face and neck were swollen and there were marks on his neck.

Crown questioned Dan-iels on Price’s drinking hab-its. Daniels said he would not drink in front of her but she suspected he had been drinking the night of the inci-dent.

Daniels also testifi ed she had heard Price mention Boivin’s name before.

“He indicated that’s where he was going that night,” Crown suggested.

“No,” Daniels replied.Last to take the stand is Price,

followed by closing arguments. Check Friday’s Observer for more.

NEWS

George Turner from Kansas, as a young

man, was deputy for Bat Masterson, the noted western sheriff and gunman. George lived when a man had to be “lightning on the draw” to stay alive. He was “fast” as the 27 notches in the wooden handle of his old 45 attested to his skill.

He decided to come to B.C. to avoid any of his old enemies. He settled by the Kleena-Kleene River, 50 miles from a store up river at the Kleena-Kleene settlement where he got his mail. Anahim was about the same distance away. He trapped and traded furs for essentials at the store. He lived off the land and essentials were tea, fl our, tobacco and sugar.

He found a bee tree one day with enough honey for him for a year thus reducing his essentials list. He fashioned hives out

of a hollow cedar tree which served him for many years.

After he reached 80 years, his infi rmities caught up to him and he applied for the Old Age Pension. A problem arose when he had to prove his age to local authorities but a member of the B.C. Provincial Police force came to the rescue with a visit to his remote cabin. An old application for a homestead in Bella Coola in 1903, found among his 40 years of papers, was proof enough.

In conversation with the offi cer, he revealed his past, as an old revolver was found in a pack sack with 27 notches on the handle. When asked

if he was still a good shot, he said he was out of shells. Then, with the offi cer’s weapon, he hit a milk can 25 yards away with rapid shots, each hitting the can. He asked that the can be thrown in the air and he hit it three times out of four. His skill from 50 years ago was evident.

He died in 1956 as a beekeeper, trapper and former deputy sheriff, having lived an amazing life. Proof

of the ingenuity of our pioneers and a bit of colour from the Chilcotin.

This story is from the book One Hundred Years of Beekeeping in B.C. 1858 – 1958. W, Turnbull.

Thanks to the Friedenberger’s of Kersley who showed me this old book.

Leaky shipsThe electorate of B.C. could be

forgiven for feeling dizzy by the end of Monday.In the wake of recent developments,

fl acks for the provincial Liberals and the BC Conservatives were producing enough ‘spin’ to rival a row of tops.At the end of the day, all that could

be said to be spinning was the heads of voters.These poor John and Jane Does must

be wondering if there is still such a thing as political leadership in the province, or whether the 2013 election will be fought strictly on the basis of ‘dueling disasters’ – or which party scores the least own-goals.There is no way the resignation of

Premier Christy Clark’s chief of staff Ken Boessenkool can be termed good news for the embattled BC Liberals, spin it how they may.Clark may characterize it as a

swiftly dealt-with disciplinary matter following an internal investigation – and trumpet the advent of BC Hydro board chairman Dan Doyle, a career public servant who helped run the 2010 Winter Olympics and the Pacifi c Gateway, as acting chief of staff.But there are questions about the

requested resignation of the former Stephen Harper aide that suggests another leak in a badly listing ship.Boessenkool’s own wording of his

resignation letter – in which he refers to an incident in which he “acted inappropriately,” and to his family, which he says he “also let down” – carries with it a whiff of scandal that the media will fi nd hard to resist chasing down. But the BC Liberals are not alone in their embarrassment.The results of the BC Conservatives’

AGM in Langley show that only 71 per cent of voting members believe enough in party leader John Cummins not to request a leadership review.The NDP – while considered

anathema by anyone right of centre – have done the least to offend in recent weeks. But, by the same token, they have also done the least to build their image, mend fences, or present a new vision for B.C. While the pollsters grant them a commanding lead, they seem to be holding their breath for fear of making a mistake.This cannot be interpreted as

leadership, either – the only thing worse than placing a foot wrong, after all, is not placing a foot at all.

–Black Press

Premier Christy Clark’s latest employment

announcement set the tone for one of the big issues in the 2013 election.

Flanked by aircraft technician students at BCIT in Burnaby, Clark announced a $75-million program to upgrade aging trade and technical school facilities and hire instructors.

And she did it with some pointed criticism of the career path chosen by many of today’s high school students.

Clark introduced a student electrician, the fi rst woman to win the senior technology education award at her high school, who then went on to get a bachelor’s degree in English and sociology.

No job, so she went to BCIT.

Her message was clear. The government’s pre-election budget is going to shift priorities to the huge number of skilled trades jobs that are already going begging in the north.

More students will get started in high school, instead of being subsidized to wander around and fi nd themselves with an unfocused university degree

that still leaves them in need of practical skills.

Shop upgrades were announced for trades training in Prince George, Kelowna and Greater Victoria. There will be new student fi nancial aid, but it will be tied to skill programs the economy needs now.

And with the government’s fi nancial situation, you can bet that sociology, women’s studies and the rest of the dead-end programs dear to the hearts of last year’s Occupy campers will feel the pinch.

The B.C. Liberal skills training push was partly inspired by last year’s “inequality” protest, after Dawson Creek Mayor Mike Bernier waded into the Occupy Vancouver squat to hand out business cards.

They need cooks and labourers as well as

pipefi tters up there these days and that’s before the B.C. gas patch goes into a huge expansion for Asian exports.

A version of Kevin Falcon’s “welfare air” idea to move unemployed recipients north was included in last week’s announcement by Clark and her jobs czar, Pat Bell.

Called “Job Match,” it’s a $2.9-million pilot program in the Peace region.

It will deliver basic education and work boots for people in that region before anyone will be fl own up from Nanaimo or Nelson.

Cruising along at nearly 50 per cent in the polls, the NDP have also put a heavy emphasis on post-secondary. But they’re still playing to the urban Occupy crowd, with a promise of a tax on banks to fund student grants.

Instead of providing loan relief after successful completion, they’re going to hand out money at the front end, just like they did in my student days.

My experience as a student, a job seeker and a parent is that free money encourages aimless study

and the selection of courses that are appealing rather than safe investments. We already have far too much of that and I think most students today would be better off with a bigger debt and a well-paying job.

As the new trades plan was being rolled out (and mostly ignored by the Vancouver media), former fi nance minister Colin Hansen announced he’s retiring.

It was Hansen who started the push for skills training back in 2008, emphasizing that there will be a million new jobs open by 2019, 600,000 of them due to retiring baby boomers. Hansen made a sales trip to snowy Toronto to launch advertising to lure people to B.C.

That effort is being revised with a series of interprovincial and international trips, because even if all 650,000 high school students graduate and go to work in B.C. from now to 2019, it won’t be enough to fi ll all the jobs on the horizon.

JONAS GAGNON

Observer Reporer

A senior hockey team is a puzzle of pieces to fi t together, with traveling, families, work,

practice and games all vying for a player’s time, things can get tricky. This means the players have to have enough passion to overcome; the coach needs to administrate as much as coach and the community needs to be as much a part of the team as anyone on, or behind, the bench.

Last year that mix of people came together perfectly to give the ‘Roos a great season. This year, things are changing; there will be new players out there on the ice and new coaches behind the bench, but it’s the same community, which Brian Kozak, the new head coach, is happy about.

“That’s the beauty, that’s what we saw last year,” Kozak said about the community support for the team.

“I was with the Mills and I saw how that went. And all of a sudden you bring back the ‘Roos and you’ve got all this local talent and the community supported them fantastically. And now we have a

high brand of hockey that is something the family can go out and enjoy.”

Kozak is very aware of the intersection between the people on the ice and the people in the stands. He knows the worlds are connected and for the team to fl ourish it needs people on both sides of the glass to support the team. To get those fans onside, the ‘Roos need to give back. And one of those ways is to make sure the community has a bit more fun together.

“It’s nine nights out, nine home games, to have with your friend or family,” Kozak said.

“And that’s good for the whole community. When teams win, there’s a different feeling in the community.”

Because each player has a job and other responsibilities in the community, activities step on each other’s toes and things begin to get a bit diffi cult. Practice time can interfere with family time and work may interfere with games, until the whole community is involved in problem–solving to make sure the players can do their best.

That crunch can scare skilled players away. But Kozak wants to assure anyone who is staying away because of the scheduling crunch that he’s

aware of it.“We understand people have jobs and

families and we’re willing to work around that as much as possible,” Kozak said.

“The more we can get local talent the better, cause there’s a ton of talent here they just have responsibilities. If they understand we’re willing to work with them then, for me, I don’t have to go out of town.”

Though the community is small and potential players have a lot on their plates, Kozak is hoping to keep the team local. Teams will fi sh through close towns to try to entice players to make the jump and if he needs to

fi nd some extra players to make a dynamic team that will get the fans on their feet, he’ll be relying on the community to draw people.

One way in which employers in the community have stepped up this year is to offer job openings to people who come up and play hockey with the ‘Roos.

Kozak knows from personal experience how hockey can draw people to the community, while the community itself encourages them to stay; he was drawn to the community himself for hockey and loves the community.

Kozak has brought in other new coaches to help him mold the team into a highly competitive whole. Bill McMillan has joined the ‘Roos and with a background in goaltending he’ll be working with the guys between the posts to make sure there’s a steady anchor behind the team.

As the team is fi nding it’s footing in the community for its new year, it’s also trying to fi nd its footing on the ice.

With the pressure the players feel to perform on the ice as hockey players and off the ice as fathers and employees, there is a lot going into the consideration of how the team wants to tackle this year. Sometimes skaters just don’t have much to sacrifi ce for the team, being squeezed by too many responsibilities. If enough players feel the squeeze, the team will have to pull back. This year the ‘Roos are lucky to have a team of dedicated skaters that want not only to win, but to give the town a good show every time they’re in town.

“What we’ve been discussing over the last couple practices is how the team wants to be known as that type of team: hard working, we play fair and it’ll be hard to play against us because we’re going to force you all over the ice,” Kozak said.

Now it’s up to the players to work themselves back into peak shape before the season starts. With three weeks before the opening game, Oct. 13 here in Quesnel, the team is still open to bringing in new players so the team doesn’t go dry on talent if there are injuries.

For those brave enough to have a go, the team offers the chance to play high-level competitive hockey and learn more about the national game.

“Even if guys don’t stick with the team, one player I talked to understands this is an opportunity for him to learn the game and he said to me, ‘even if I don’t play a game – my goal is to play a game – but I want to support the team, learn the game and I’ll be a practice guy there and give everything I have to play.’” Kovak said.

“To me that’s a beautiful thing.”As the players and coaches work out the fi nal

wrinkles in the ‘Roos, fans will have to wait three more weeks before getting to watch the fi rst home game of the season to see how all the pre-season training and try-outs have worked for the young team. Come next month it’ll be there though, the culmination of a community’s work.

LIFESTYLES

Quesnel resident Jean Seymour joined more than 200 cycling enthusiasts and event volunteers from across British Columbia, Sept. 8 – 9, for the BC Lung Association’s 28th Bicycle Trek for Life and Breath (Trek).

This is Seymour’s 23rd time participating in the popular two-day, 200km ride from White Rock to Cultus Lake and back to raise funds in support of vital lung health research, programs and clean air initiatives.

This year alone she contributed more than $2,000 towards the $200,000 raised so far thanks to the generous support of friends, family and coworkers. This total builds on the $5.5 million previously raised during the event’s 28-year lifespan.

“Many people do the event year after year,” BC Lung Association event organizer Kate Jarvis said.

“It has a real family feel with less fanfare than other,

bigger commercial fundraisers but with a lot of heart and soul.”

A quiet phenomenon which began more than two decades ago, the grassroots event has built up over time and serves as a reunion for many ‘trekkers’ who return annually, some for as many as 25 years.

Jarvis says the effort put forth is incredible.

“Trek is sustained by inspiring, dedicated people. Jean is a powerful example. She shows up year in and year out to help make life better for the one in fi ve British Columbians living with breathing problems. We are privileged to know

her and have her support.”

For more information or to make a donation in support of the BC Lung Association call 1-604-731-5864 or toll free at 1-800-665-5864 (outside Greater Vancouver), email [email protected] or visit www.bc.lung.ca.

The mission of the BC Lung Association is to prevent lung disease and promote lung health.

Founded in 1904 to fi ght tuberculosis, the Lung Association today fi ghts lung disease in all its forms, with special emphasis on asthma, tobacco control, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, lung cancer, pulmonary fi brosis and environmental health. A non-profi t, non-governmental organization, the BC Lung Association is dedicated to improving lung health and promoting clean air initiatives across the province.

at the Golden CentreEarlier this year, the OAPO gave the City of

Quesnel $1,000 to go toward a bench. At their monthly meeting Sept. 11 members thanked the City for placing their bench in the West Fraser Timber Park and are pleased to say that it is being used and passed on compliments. While in the West Fraser Timber Park you will notice an added attraction of a play house in the shape of a bee hive burner.

Gus Schaub presented Mickey Ohara with a wooden plaque that he made on behalf of branch 77 for the number of volunteer hours he has given to the Centre.

A nominating com-mittee is taking names of those who wish to

JONAS GAGNON

Observer Reporter

The Clan played their fi rst home game in three years last week, thanks to the hard work of students on the team and facility from both team’s schools.

Without a proper football fi eld, the team has been shipping out to Prince George every game, making for a tiring season on the road.

Last Friday, Sept. 21, the Clan suited up for an exhibition game on their very own fi eld, thanks to a lot of hard work from the team members and facility of Correlieu.

It was the second game of the season for the team.

The game was close through the fi rst three quarters, before the Clan fell behind to lose to the College Heights Cougars 28-12.

The game was tied midway through the fourth quarter when Correlieu fumbled. A failed punt attempt by the Clan allowed College Heights to take over, resulting in two touchdowns for the Cougars late in the last quarter.

Despite the loss, the team’s coach, Jeff Morris, said he was happy not only with the team’s performance, but with the

turnout by fans as well.

“The parents, friends and other fans that came out seemed to have a good time and that’s the important thing,” Morris said.

He was also optimisitic about the team’s chances as the season progresses.

“We’ll get them in the regular season,” he said.

The students put a lot of hard work into getting their fi eld serviceable for the game Morris said, noting Mitch Carter, Mitch Kennedy and Isaiah Kennedy

were particularly helpful in the clean up and preparation of the fi eld.

The game was put together on a rather rushed

timeline, with a scant week’s notice. Because of a scheduling confl ict, the area’s offi cials were in Vanderhoof, teachers stepped up to create the offi ciating crew. Coach Morris, Maria Lopestri, Matt Johnson and Alec Borret all stepped up into various positions to offi ciate the game.

A sizeable crowd showed up at Correlieu to watch the home game and

cheer on their sons, friends and local football team.

With all that work and with the home town crowd watching them for the fi rst time, the players had more pressure.

“They were nervous, really nervous, about playing at home,” Morris said.

Tight end Cole Crick was a standout in the game, with two receptions to net both the team’s touchdowns.

Dan MacDougall, the team’s quarter back, also had a good game. MacDougall, a grade 10 student, is growing quickly into his new role,

taking great strides in the two games he’s played.

On the defensive side, Tristan McCartney registered six tackles in his effort to keep the cougars from their end zone.

The Clan would like to thank all the teachers, staff and students from the both Correlieu and College Heights, who helped put the game together on such short notice. They would particularly like to thank the parents and students who showed up to back the Quesnel players in their fi rst home game in three years.

The Clan is looking forward to another succesful season.

Sept. 23 - Sept. 29, 2012ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20Aries, relaxing for a few days seems like the perfect idea, but restlessness will ultimately thwart these plans. Engage in low-energy activities, instead.

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21Taurus, you might fi nd it diffi cult to ask for what you de-sire, but you just have to buckle down and make a stand. It may not be easy, but your efforts will prove fruitful.

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21Gemini, you are in your element this week and the good vibes will last for several days. There's no pressure to get things done, so keep on sailing.

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22Cancer, it may seem like a good idea to retreat to a fantasy world when the going gets tough, but you'll need to have your feet and mind fi rmly planted in reality this week.

LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23Leo, it is good to be optimistic, but it also helps to devel-op a plan in case things don't go your way. Ask a friend or family member for help when devising your plan.

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22Virgo, concentration comes naturally to you, so don't worry if some extra work at the offi ce is presented at the last minute. Ask a coworker for help, if necessary.

LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23You are eager to listen and learn, Libra, but you also want to share your own experiences. This week you will need to fi nd a balance between being a student and a teacher.

SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22Scorpio, think things through before making big deci-sions. There is some pressure on you, but concentrate and focus on the task at hand.

SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21Make some decisions now before you change your mind again, Sagittarius. Too much information can cloud your judgement, so go with your gut.

CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20Capricorn, you are at a turning point in your life and it could be a good time to make a few important changes. This may involve a new career or making new friends.

AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18Aquarius, even if you have a lot to get done, you will be able to think on your feet and make changes as needed depending on the situation this week.

JONAS GAGNON

Observer Reporter

As summer wraps up and the weather becomes less than hospitable for outdoor sports, the indoor soccer season is ramping up.

The league offers three different registration choices: the fi rst half of the season, which costs $65 and runs from Oct. 16 to Dec. 13; the second half of the season, which runs from Jan. 8 to March 7 and likewise costs $65; and the full season registration, which costs $120 and runs from Oct. 16 to March 7.

The play off season will extend beyond March 7, wrapping up on the 14 of the same month. The schedule is, however, susceptible to changes in case of cancelled and rescheduled games, which registries should keep in mind. Play will be six on six, including the goalie, with a mandatory two women on the fi eld at all times.

This season the time and day of the games have changed, with games being held Tuesday and Thursday, starting at 8 p.m. and continuing through to 9:30 p.m.

Team placement will be decided at random, unlike the self organized teams of the summer.

Age is restricted to 19 and above, though some leeway is given to 18 year-olds who are too old to play with the youth league. Shin guards and socks are required.

Registration for the league has started and wraps up at the beginning of next month, Oct. 3. So any one who wants to play is encouraged to register as soon as possible.

All members can register at the Soccer Facility, 980 Anderson Drive. If there are any questions towards registration you can call the facility at 250-992-2223, or email Shaylene at [email protected].

This year the league is offering a link to not only a family member or spouse, but to a friend.

The league is also looking for refs. Anyone interested in reffi ng is encouraged to contact Shaylene Penner at the above email address.

It’s important to take care of your feet. The human foot consists of 26 bones, 33 joints joints, many muscles, ligaments and tendons as well as thousands of nerve endings. The type of shoe you choose for your feet is very important. Buy the best shoes you can afford. It’s a myth that you have to “break in” new shoes. A new shoe should feel so good, you’ll want to walk out of the store with them on.This is the time of year we start hearing about fl u and fl u shots. Our immune systems are pretty tough but each winter it gets challenged by the latest fl u virus. It’s easy to help our immune systems fi ght the fl u by getting a fl u shot each year. While not 100% effective, it certain reduces the chance of getting the fl u.The origin of the birth control pill began with Margaret Sanger. Born in 1879, she was an American nurse, sex educator and birth control activist. In the early 1950s, she asked researcher Dr. Gregory Pincus to develop a birth control pill. With his work and others, it led to the 1957 approval of Enovid, giving women more reliable control over their fertility for the fi rst time in history.We’re not sure if blonds really have more fun but they do have more hair. Blondes average about 140,000 hair follicles, brunettes average 108,000 while redheads have about 80,000. By the way, hair grows about 6 inches (15cm) per year.Levels of service vary from one pharmacy to another. If you are looking for a pharmacy to feel good about, give us a try.

SPORTS

Despite the summer like weather, the FHL begins season 19 with a pair of well played games as Bears feast on

Blue Collar 4-1 with Serenity holding on for a 4-3 victory over Fraser River.

The contest between Blue Collar and Bear had all the makings of a trackmeet as both squads feature several fl eet footed forwards ready to bolt to the fi nish at the sound of the gun, but it was a trio of grey

bearded veterans that ended up sparking their respective squads.

Picking up where he left off last season, despite a nagging upper body injury, was the FHL’s eldest statesmen Dave (Chainsaw) McCulloch who tapped in a rebound from his offi ce to open up the scoring for Blue Collar. A stinky own goal knotted the score before a pair of Bear veterans who were pushing 35 when the league began in 1994 got in on the Senior movement. Thanks to the fancy footwork from Chad (Footloose) Swanson, Steve (Older than Yzerman) Dodge, who had ealier bounced one off the crossbar, fl ipped one in over the hardworking Blue Collar netminder. Not to be outdone by his geriatric teammate, the third oldest player on the ice, Grant (Plants) Johannesen converted a gorgeous three–way, groin–stretching passing play with a lasered one timer. The fi nal goal of the contest that salted the win away was off the stick of Stu (Cyclone) Taylor, who hammered one in after a face-off win by Bear rookie Kris (Haymitch) Hayman, who drew 2 assists as well as a trip to the sinbin in his debut.

The drought like weather has impacted Fraser River more than you would expect as they only had half their squad show up for their game versus Serenity which they lost by a 4-3 count. Winning shouldn’t be a big surprise for the Builders who are the defending regular season champs, but having their sponsor, Cliff (Diver) Hunik put the biscuit in the basket is, as his top shelf fl oater was his fi rst in a short FHL career. Also scoring for the Whaler clad squad was Rob (Lucky) Lentz, as he and Lee (Nitro) Naeth each had a goal and an assist with Brian (Big Country) Inwood notching a singleton. Replying for the Chevy crew, who began defense of their Lumber Cup with only 7 skaters, was Eric (Frantic) Stanic, (Average) Joe Mamic and Ian (Heartbreaker) Hannah who gave it a valiant effort and almost scored the equalizer after pulling their goalie and more than one muscle as season 19 took fl ight.

Steve Dodge is a defensive winger with Bear Communications and an Observer contributor.
