AUTUMN MacDONALDObserver Reporter

The message on the machine directed him to check out a website and provided a number to call back: 1-844-258-4031. 

This was the beginning of one Quesnel resi-dents dealings with a scam that has RCMP in-vestigating fraudsters pretending to be Canada Revenue and attempting to rip residents off of their hard-earned dollars.

“First there was the message,” one Gold Pan resident told the Observer.

“Then I called back. They gave this speech about how I was delinquent on my taxes from 2008 to 2012.”

The caller then went on to say they had inves-tigated the claim and found it to be done “on purpose.”

“They said they would freeze my bank ac-counts within 24 hours,” he said.

“In hindsight had I not have been in shock, I would have realized right away it was bogus.”

But with the caller rattling off numbers, ac-counts, criminal code facts and files, it was hard to initially brush it off.

“They were really intimidating,” he said.“They sounded pretty official.”Thankfully, after hanging up, his next phone

call was to his accountant, who assured his af-fairs were in order, but what’s more, noted it wasn’t the first concerned phone call she had received from a client.

RCMP are in the process of investigating, as is the Canada Revenue Agency.

“We’ve received several calls informing us of the scam,” Cpl. Chris Riddle said.

“We are currently investigating one complaint of money loss to date in Quesnel.”

Quesnel RCMP suggests no one provide any personal details over the phone to anyone. The CRA does not solicit people via telephone. Do not engage the caller, hang up immediately. If you are sent an email do not click on the link or respond. The CRA does not correspond via email.

If anyone has been contacted by an organiza-tion stating they are from CRA and demanding payment, call RCMP, 250-992-9211 and the Anti-Fraud Centre at 1-800-495-8501.

Writers of all levels are encouraged to submit their agricultural themed-poems to the third annual Ode To A Farmer Poetry Contest by Sunday, September 13.

 The grand prize winner will receive a $150 gift certificate to spend at the BC farmers’ market of their choice.

“Whether it be a haiku, sonnet, or limerick, we are looking for people to use their creativity through words to show their appreciation of local farmers who contribute greatly to our communities, health and well being,” BCAFM’s Communications Manager, Georgia Stanley said.

“There is a great tradition of writers finding inspiration from the land that is continued through

the Ode To A Farmer contest,” Tamara Leigh, president of the BC Farm Writers’ Association, and contest judge, said.

“I look forward to

seeing how people connect creatively with food and farming, and bring it to life in their poems.”

Along with the Ode To A Farmer Poetry Contest, the public can enjoy various activities in celebration of Farmers Appreciation Week that highlight the contribution BC farmers and local food make to our lives. From parades and musical tributes, to farm equipment displays, there are events for people of all ages to enjoy at farmers’ markets across BC throughout the week.

The BCAFM is a not-for-profit association that represents 125 farmers’ markets across the province and works to support, develop and promote farmers’ markets in all regions of BC. For more information visit www.bcfarmersmarket.org

CRD admin costsThe Cariboo Regional

District passed a resolution at the August 21, 2015 Board meeting to realign the Administrative Services Tax Rates between Municipal and Rural residents.

As mayors and councillors from across the province prepare to gather in Vancouver for their annual September convention and meetings with the B.C. cabinet, the state of B.C. forests and the threat of fires is top of mind.

A resolution up for debate from Premier Christy Clark’s constituency of West Kelowna calls on the province to take the lead on forest fuel management, directly funding and managing it for private as well as public land. It notes that despite high costs and widespread

damage from the 2014 forest fire season, the province’s Strategic Wildfire Prevention Initiative excluded operational activities and was restricted to financing community protection plans.

The program spent $62 million between 2004 and 2014 to assist local governments reduce interface fire risk. Applications for fuel projects were halted last year when the budget was spent, and this past May the forests ministry put another $5 million in, for projects on municipal or provincial land only.

The province maintains that fuel projects on private

land are best left to local governments to coordinate with their public land programs.

In the wake of beetle losses and reduced timber harvest limits, Williams Lake, Quesnel, 100 Mile House and Wells are calling for the province to improve certainty on the working forest land base. Their resolution calls for the province to “deliver the full allowable cut allowed under the BC Timber Sales program” and “complete a science-based inventory of available timber supply.”

Forests Minister Steve Thomson said in an interview the province’s $80 million increase in inventory

funding over 10 years has been focused on areas hardest hit by pine beetle infestation.

“I’m confident that we have significantly improved information that is going into the timber supply reviews and timber supply analysis,” Thomson said.

Log exports is a perennial issue of concern to coastal communities. The latest resolution from the Alberni-Clayoquot Regional District notes that log exports increased 65 per cent between

2010 and 2013, with 90 per cent of exports from the B.C. coast.

Their resolution calls for a review of log export policy, which requires logs for export to be advertised so local mills have the option of bidding before export is approved.

Hundreds of mayors, councillors and regional district directors will converge on downtown Vancouver for the UBCM convention Sept. 21-25.

PolicyTurn on your TV and change it to a

news channel, open a paper, or check the internet. It’s a policy blizzard out there.In fact, we’d have trouble keeping

up if we were covering nothing but announcements from the three major political parties. While the United States is suffering through a bizarre Republican primary that is light on issues and heavy on Trump, Canada is a policy wonk’s dream.Just in the past week or so, we’ve

seen the major party leaders make promises on senate reform, old age security, northern defense, business taxes, even home renovation tax credits.You could criticize some of these an-

nouncements. Many of them are on the small scale side of things.We’ve called for a debate on big is-

sues – things like global warming, but we could as easily have said health care or the role of Canada’s military, post-secondary education, veterans and the future of our economy.So far, we haven’t seen too much

discussion of those big issues. But the party leaders have a long road ahead of them, and they have to save some ammunition for September and October, when everyone’s back from summer getaways and can really get down to paying attention to the news again.Right now, we’re actually pleased

that, at the very least, there are issues on the table. Not all of these issues are minor, either – when Harper talks about expanding the Junior Canadian Rangers, or Mulcair wants to re-turn Old Age Security to 65 from 67 years, those are both indications of significant priorities for their poten-tial governments.We’re in the middle of a long, long

campaign. The leaders could have been excused for stretching things out, going to rallies, and not saying much.Instead, we’ve actually seen a lot

of talk about how things would go under Trudeau, Harper, and Mulcair. It may be a little piecemeal right now, but it could be worse.We could be talking about Donald

Trump.BP

Camping at the beautiful Mabel Lake Provincial Park came at a price last week: I had to function without the Internet for the first time in several years.

I tried to resist this from happening. I went to Telus Mobility a couple days pri-or to leaving for my trip to buy more data with a plan to hotspot from my phone to my laptop once there. Unfortunately since the campground was located so far off the grid and had no cellular service, there would be no way of getting a Wi-Fi connection.

A week without it might not have bothered me if I didn’t have my “Stolen and Missing Dogs of the Okana-gan” Facebook page that I update throughout each day. Luckily my friend Gina, who manages the “Okana-gan Lost and Found Pets” on Facebook said she’d take care of my page while I was gone, which solved my problem.

As I drove the two and a half hours to Mabel Lake I surprisingly started look-ing forward to the forced disconnect. No emails to check, Facebook updates to review, or messages to respond to – it would be my life as I used to know it.

But even en route, as I

began to relish this reprieve, I found myself pulling over a few times to see what I was missing online. This confirmed to me that the constant cyber connection I’ve grown accustomed to over the years is probably more of an addiction than I realized.

About half an hour away from the campground I noticed the cellular service was severed, and for the rest of the drive I felt like I was entering into another universe. When I arrived at my destination it appeared that way as well.

My husband and friends had come up a couple days earlier and none of them were on their phones unless they were choosing a song to broadcast for everyone’s listening pleasure. Instead they were playing games, riding bikes, participating in water sports, painting rocks, relaxing on the beach or sit-ting around a campfire.

I’m not a big fan of camp-ing, but I can’t deny that I liked what I observed. What parent doesn’t appreciate seeing their kids laughing, playing and communicat-ing with those around them rather than focused on their electronics? And what child doesn’t enjoy seeing their parents involved in such healthy interactions as well?

By the end of the week I felt more connected to my family and friends as well as with myself. Without the constant distractions of the Internet I felt de-stressed, slowed down and suddenly with ample time to read, write and do nothing. I also caught up on some much needed rest, and didn’t miss falling asleep or waking up to the newsfeed from my phone.

I easily survived a week without the outside world and it easily survived with-out me. Some of us might find a voluntary discon-nect more challenging than others. People with a large social circle and a strong in-terest in news, pop culture, sports or work can some-times feel more addicted to their phones. From my own recent experience I found it liberating to turn the out-side world off temporarily, and I plan to incorporate

more of that into my daily routine.

Before the Mabel Lake camping trip I can’t re-member the last time I was without the Internet for more than a few waking hours. As someone who’s easily distracted, I’m now looking forward to see-ing how much more I can accomplish by only allow-ing myself to access it at certain times during the day. I’m also expecting to reap some of the other benefits I enjoyed during my week in the boonies.

I wouldn’t want to give up cyberspace completely though. For all it’s nega-tives it’s outweighed by its positives and I feel fortunate to live in a time when I can communicate with people from all over the world, have information readily available at my fingertips and possess the ability to express myself publicly whenever I wish.

Like most things, the In-ternet has its pros and cons and using it with modera-tion and discretion can curb its harmful effects. It’s up to us to monitor our usage and put ourselves on a digital diet when needed.

Our last few articles have centred around the dan-gers of cold water im-

mersion. Among the several points raised was this oft repeated simple truth: cold water is deadly!

Here’s a quick recap:Cold water is defined as water be-

low 25°C with the greatest effects occurring below 15°C (and British Columbia’s river, lake, and ocean waters are usually below that!)

Exposure to cold water changes how the body functions; effects are so powerful you may not be able to help yourself.

The effects of cold water on the body happen in four fairly quick stages. Cold shock and swimming failure (stages one and two) are responsible for more drowning fatalities in B.C. than either hy-pothermia or post-rescue (stages three and four).

Cold shock occurs immediately, lasts three to five minutes, but can result in quick drowning because of the body’s involuntary reac-tions. Hypothermia, the cooling of the body’s core, affects the brain, heart, and other internal organs, and post-rescue collapse concerns the effects on your body – that can also lead to death - after you are pulled from the water.

A few final tips to round things out:

If you’re alone and wearing a flo-tation device, loss of body heat can be slowed by assuming the Heat Escape Lessening Position (HELP), which can potentially increase your survival time by 50 per cent. Cross your arms tightly across your chest and draw your knees up. Remain calm and do not attempt to swim since such movement will only use energy that your body requires to survive.

If you are with other people wear-ing flotation devices, getting every-one to ‘HUDDLE’, is a method that can again increase survival time. Everyone should huddle with their chests and sides close together, their legs intertwined and arms ex-tended around the person(s) next to them

In cool weather wear rain gear over and/or wool clothing under your flotation device (wool insu-lates even when wet); wear layers of clothing and a hat since, as we already know, as much as 60 per cent of body heat loss occurs from the head; carry matches in a water-proof container (if you get to land, a fire can warm you or help signal for assistance).

Plan ahead by always telling a re-sponsible person where you are go-ing and when you expect to return. And very importantly, know your boat and how it handles in differ-ent conditions.

Now repeat after me: The effects of sudden, unexpected cold water immersion are deadly, the effects of sudden cold water immersion are deadly, the effects of cold water im-mersion …..

Next in our keeping safe series, a beginning look at the myriad regu-lations that govern pleasure craft operation, and contribute greatly to boating safety.

The Quesnel Power and Sail Squadron is proud to promote Boating and Water Safety. Please support our efforts by encouraging your friends and family to always be water-safe. If you would like more information about the Ques-nel Power & Sail Squadron, talk to any member, or email your com-ments or questions to: [email protected] with QPSS in the Subject Line.

Repeat after me

Recently, our local dog sports club Fit Pets Dog Sports Association had

the privilege of hosting the very � rst sport scent detection trial in Quesnel. It was run under the C-WAGS (Canine Work and GameS) organization and was a huge success.

Sport scent detection (nose work) is a fun dog and handler team sport in which the teams work through various courses and the dogs � nd speci� c hidden scents. It is a sport that every dog can do and enjoys. It is a great way to get their brains working and help drain their energy.

Twenty-� ve dog and handler teams attended the event and came from as far away as Kamloops. We have two local judges (Erin Lynes and Barb King) and were

also joined by a judge and trainer from Calgary (Dana Gallagher).

Thirteen nose work titles were achieved on the weekend as well as 90 Q’s! (Short for a qualifying run. This means it is a successful run and will count towards achieving a title.) Many of the Qs were � rst ever wins for the dogs and handlers in any venue.

Dana Gallagher has been instrumental in bringing and building the sport in Northern B.C. She is an accomplished dog trainer who works with the

SuperDogs teams among many other things.

She also ran seminars on the weekend to help everyone hone their nose work skills.

Fit Pets Dog Sports Association is a dog club that was borne out of frustration with trying to � nd fun activities to do with pet dogs locally.

Last spring a few ladies of varied dog backgrounds decided to experiment with starting a fun club for all pet people and just focus on having fun with their dogs.

Many people in the club do

compete in various dog sports and competitions, but the club’s focus is on being open to everyone and to provide a place for dogs and their owners to learn new skills and practice with other like-minded people.

Over the past year the club has grown its membership and has been able to offer practices and classes in nose work, agility, Rally-O, Competitive Obedience, puppy class, adult dog socialization and trick training.

If the club sees a need and can offer a class it will, but it

does not want to compete with the businesses trying to make a living at dog training. If the club has enough requests to run a certain class they will bring in a local trainer (or out-of-town trainer if there is no one locally

who is quali� ed) to do the classes.

Visit their Facebook group (Fit Pets Quesnel) or website ( www.� tpets.ca ) to � nd out more information and how you can come play with your dog.

In the heat of summer, thoughts might wander to the cool freshness of our autumn mornings.

And for more than 600 women and girls, that morning might specifically be Oct. 4, when the Quesnel Women’s Fall Challenge elicits delightful vitality.

For 21 years, volunteers and participants have worked towards a common goal. All of the funds raised will stay in our community and the goal has been the procure-ment of a digital mammography machine.

The sights were set on $500,000 and we have been creeping closer and closer every year. A few years back, the ladies at Integris Credit Union began directing efforts towards the same cause and now, together, there are more than $300,000 collecting interest and ly-ing in wait. At the current pace, we figured that 10 more years would get us to fruition.

However, in recent discussions with Northern Health executives Michael McMillan and Debbie Strang, QWFC organizers have learned that a digital machine is slated for installation in Quesnel within two years!

The amazing efforts of all who

have contributed time and money to the focus will not reach the goal by then but we won’t have to.

The health authority will work with our partnership to make the digital machine a reality.

Our funds can be used for partial machine payment, for location preparation, for room enhancement and for supplemental materials.

This is great news! We now have a due date. We now can see that light at the end of the tunnel. This year’s event promises to be another wonderful challenge with raspberry coloured shirts and girls from 6 – 96 donning sneakers.

Gayle MacDonald and Tara Fookes are this year’s poster girls. Both have battled cancer and are living with new knowledge and vigor. They are joining efforts to help others look beyond the diagnosis. But that is fodder for the next story.

Please mark Oct. 4 on your cal-endar.

You can pick up a registration form from the Quesnel and District Recreation Centre or perhaps from businesses around town.

We look forward to having you be part of the 22nd annual girlfest.

I have the good fortune to know some Turks who love to travel and share their culture. Each trip has afforded new sights and delightful cultural differences. Snippets from Turkey are just a few of my observations from this amazing historical world that tries to blend modernity with tradition.

This is one thing that Turkey does

very well. Condition parks are everywhere. In this suburb, 30 km south of Ankara, there are three parks within a five-minute walk and another five within a 10-minute walk.

Condition parks are areas that cater to health-minded people. The first one I found was on a hilltop looking over the Aegean Sea, just outside of Kusadasi. It was very idyllic. That park was well used from early morning until late at night with the only

time being quiet was when the temperature was too daunting. Locals and visitors would walk to this park, move through the machines, chat with the regulars and then walk home. As a bonus, there was an abandoned restaurant below that provided a cement platform and ladder for swimming.

I have seen condition parks in most of the places I have visited and have often wondered why they are so popular. I rarely see cyclists. I rarely see anyone playing tennis on the very few courts. Soccer is a regular event and hotels even provide playing fields with bleachers but this game is mainly for young boys and men. Otherwise, there is little to do for recreation. A condition park has a variety of moving and stationary machines on which to exercise. There is a swinging platform that goes side to side, a pull up

machine, a twister disk and more. You can do sit ups and stretches, step ups and strides. The machines are gentle and fun.

In this suburb, the municipality has upped the ante by placing condition areas alongside a walking track made of astro turf. This track loops for one km and has four marked lanes. The lanes are great for passing and for oncoming traffic, especially for the few runners. People make a loop and then stop at the condition machines for a few exercises and then do another loop. This park caters to all ages and Sundays bring out families and strollers.

The park in Polatli stood empty. The machines were in good condition but rarely used. The residents of that city focussed on work and family so very few people slowed down enough to play.

In other cities, the parks are falling into ruin. My estimation is that in areas of conservatism, fewer people take advantage of condition parks. In this progressive area of Ankara, there are parks and places to play in every neighbourhood; for young, the young at heart and everyone in between. At the larger parks in Cayyolu, there are kiosks for attendants who maintain the cleanliness of the park.

There seems to be a regular crew that picks up garbage and tends the gardens then feeds the stray dogs and the pigeons.

It would be great to have a condition park in Quesnel and I am sure more people would use one of these than do the static structure in West Fraser Timber Park. Should I arrange to have one shipped over?

August 30 - September 5, 2015ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20Conflicting instructions make it difficult to please others this week, Aries. Try your best to meet oth-ers’ needs, and look to others for help if the need arises.

TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21Taurus, your stubbornness can sometimes be an asset, but don’t let it get in the way this week. Approach a task with a new perspective and don’t hesitate to solicit others’ opinions.

GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21Gemini, even though you are reluctant to show your hand this week, others know what’s on your mind. It’s tough for you to remain aloof when you seem like an open book.

CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22You are full of energy this week, Cancer, so put it to good use. Lend a hand to others who have a lot on their plates and tackle some lingering projects of your own as well.

LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23Leo, don’t take anything for granted this week. A project might go off without a hitch, but you need to be prepared in case it does not. Remain aware.

VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22Virgo, you may be so engrossed in your own rou-tine that you miss some of the subtle goings-on at work. If suddenly you feel out of the loop, make an effort to be more in the know.

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23Libra, speak up about a situation that you feel needs to be addressed. Your voice won’t be heard if you remain quiet, but your point of view offers some valuable insight.

SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22Scorpio, rather than focusing on your own progress this week, see what you can learn from others without making everything a competition. This can be a special learning process.

SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21Sagittarius, you may be doing your best to dem-onstrate your good intentions, but others may not be satisfied with your efforts. Reexamine your approach.

CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20A big payoff awaits if you work hard and exercise patience this week, Capricorn. Although you may be pushing for immediate results, the outcome will take some time.

AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18Don’t abandon your spontaneity this week, Aquarius. Hang out with others who appreciate flying by the seat of their pants. You will be in for a good time later in the week.

PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20A sense of self-confidence does not mean that everything will immediately go your way, Pisces. You still need to work hard to have things play out right.

B.C. is the only province where charges and convictions in provincial court are posted on a public database as well as being available to courthouse visitors.

One problem is that the information has been used by employers or landlords for criminal record checks that may find a charge but not the later acquittal. Another is posting the imposition of a peace bond, which can leave the false impression that someone has been convicted of an offence.

Thomas Crabtree, chief judge of the B.C. Provincial Court, is reviewing the practice of posting court records online, and is seeking public input until Sept. 18.

Court Services Online has been available since 2008, allowing anyone to search by name or case number to find information on charges, court appearances and sentences.

The online information is blocked if the accused is acquitted, charges are withdrawn, a publication ban is ordered or when a pardon is later granted to seal the record of a conviction.

Absolute discharge conviction records are removed from the public database

after a year, and conditional discharges after three years.

A stay of proceedings means the online case file is blocked after a year, although records for all cases remain at court registries for access in person.

In a consultation memo on the issue, Crabtree notes that B.C.’s Court Services Online help desk received frequent requests to use the service as a criminal record check.

The memo says that when information on acquittals was still available, the service received “a significant number” of complaints of negative effects from public access to charges that did not lead to conviction.

Some people said they only realized the information was public when they were sent a link by co-workers or employers.

The memo offers several options for dealing with peace bonds, which are ordered to restrict activities of parties in a dispute and are currently left online indefinitely.

The consultation memo is available at www.provincialcourt.bc.ca under the “news and reports” tab. Submissions can be made by email to [email protected] or by mail to:

Office of the Chief Judge, Provincial Court of B.C., 337-800 Hornby Street, Vancouver B.C. V6Z 2C5.

REGIONAL

TOM FLETCHERBlack Press

The B.C. legislature is being recalled Sept. 28 for a fall session that will likely deal with increasing penalties for distracted driving and careless smoking.

The B.C. government has signalled its inten-tion to increase penalties in both areas. Justice Minister Suzanne Anton announced prelimi-nary results of public consultation on distracted driving penalties at the end of June, with 90 per cent of respondents calling for stiffer penalties for using smartphones while driving.

Anton said the current $167 ticket for distract-ed drivers is not sufficient for repeat offenders, who could have their vehicles impounded. Sas-katchewan has introduced a one-week seizure of the vehicle for drivers who get two distracted driving tickets less than a year apart.

After dry conditions sparked an early start to the B.C. forest fire season, Forests Minister Steve Thomson announced a review of penal-ties for violating campfire bans and tossing lit cigarettes. 

Thomson appointed Prince George-Mack-enzie MLA Mike Morris, a former RCMP su-perintendent, to lead a similar review of those penalties. Morris said he was considering the vehicle impoundment option for careless toss-ing of cigarette butts, and prohibiting people from camping in provincial parks if they violate campfire restrictions.

Fire bans allow use of camp stoves or barbe-cues with briquets for cooking, but conserva-tion officers continue to find people lighting wood fires that give off sparks and can spread in dry conditions.

The fall session will complete an unusually busy year for the B.C. legislature, which was recalled in July to authorize a project develop-ment agreement for the Pacific Northwest LNG gas export project proposed for Prince Rupert.

Careless driving, smoking

penalties on the way

Premier Christy Clark and the rest of B.C. politicians will be back in the legislature at the end of Septem-ber.
