Four sent to hospitalTuesday afternoon, Quesnel RCMP received a report of a two vehicle collision at the intersection of Highway 97 and Spears Road in the Two Mile Flat area. Investigation has determined that a grey Dodge caravan travelling north failed to yield to oncoming traffic while attempting to make a left hand turn onto Spears Road. The northbound vehicle turned directly into the path of a southbound pickup truck sending both vehicles into the southbound ditch. All three occupants of the van were injured and transported to GR Baker Hospital where they were treated for non life threatening injuries including broken bones and lacerations. The driver of the pickup truck was not injured but his female passenger was transported to GR Baker for possible whiplash. This crash remains under investigation.

A court has dismissed the petition to quash a bylaw to allow a secondary suite in Johnston Subdivision.
The decision was handed down Wednesday in Prince George.
Three Gold Pan
residents, Valerie King, Susan Maile and John Higgins petitioned the city after council approved a secondary suite at 146 Leonard St.
The petitioners quoted safety concerns such as parking, snow removal, air quality and traffic. At the crux of their case was the argument
the neighbourhood is zoned as low-density single family dwellings and as such the amended bylaw decision is in conflict with the Official Community Plan.
“The bylaw flies in the face of the OCP,” the petitioners lawyer, Karen Surcess said.
“It’s inconsistent
with the character of the neighbourhood.”
Counsel for the city, Chris Murdy argued the case was simple: “Your honour is asked to determine whether this bylaw is in contravention of the Local Government Act,” he said.
“It is my submission it is not.”
The city also pointed to
the entire OCP and the fact the decision needed to rest with the OCP in its entirety, not a specific statement.
“The OCP does not prohibit secondary suites in any area,” Murdy said said.
“Rather it sets out an approach.”
Surcess argued it was about “consistency” as
laid out in the Local Government Act and pointed out the approval of one such as the Leonard Street suite in the neighbourhood as a “slippery slope.”
The Justice dismissed the petitioners case with costs and ruled the city has the right under the OCP to spot zone secondary suites.

Fire areas in the Quesnel region rated highCariboo Fire Centre
(CFC) and Wild� re Management Branch (WMB) weather stations report that the � re danger rating has moved to extreme for the � rst time this season, near Middle Lake in the west Chilcotin.
The � re danger rating is moderate throughout the rest of the CFC, with areas of high in the Quesnel region, near Riske Creek and Tatla Lake in the Chilcotin, and
Deception, Prairie Creek and Windy Mountain in the Interlakes region.
As of Thursday, there have been a total of 57 wild� res in the CFC this season, 44 person-caused and 13 lightning-caused, burning 1,068 hectares. The Chilcotin has accounted for 26 of the person-caused � res.
The CFC would like to remind the public that there is an open
burning prohibition in place for the entire Cariboo-Chilcotin region, banning any backyard and industrial waste, slash or grass � res, which came into effect on April 15. The CFC would also like to remind the public to be vigilant with any type of � re use, including camp� res, and to properly and safely extinguish cigarettes.
Meanwhile, the CFC’s Quesnel-based
Blackwater Unit crew continues to work on a lightning-caused wild� re near Mount Brew, east of Likely and north of Quesnel Lake. The small � re is burning in steep, dif� cult terrain.
The CFC covers an area of about 10.3-million hectares, stretching from Clinton north to the Cottonwood River, east to Wells Gray Provincial Park and west to Tweedsmuir Provincial Park.
To report a wild� re or unattended camp� re, call 1-800-663-5555 or *5555 on your cellphone. For more information on open � re restrictions or for updates on current wild� re activity, visit bcwild� re.ca

Tenille McKenzieMiss Advanced Skin

DANIKA M. HÉBERTObserver Reporter
Tenille McKenzie decided to enroll in the Miss Quesnel Self Development Program to enrich her knowledge of Quesnel.
“I wanted to have an opportunity to meet new people and see parts of Quesnel that I don’t normally get to see,” she explained.
Having heard of the program from her broth-er’s ex-girlfriend, McKenzie was persuaded to give it a shot.
“She told me how awesome of a program it is,” McKenzie said.
So far, her favourite part of the program has been visiting different businesses and seeing all the different services offered in Quesnel.
“It’s exceeded my expectations; it’s been won-derful.”
If chosen as Quesnel royalty, McKenzie hopes to bring hospitality to the role.
“I will bring a sense of friendliness and fun to out of town visitors and I’d really hope to show them what Quesnel has to offer and everything our town is really about,” she explained.
When she isn’t busy with the program, McK-enzie likes running, hiking and horseback riding in the mountains.
Tori WatsonMiss Joyful Expressions
DANIKA M. HÉBERTObserver Reporter
Tori Watson has enjoyed all aspects of the Miss Quesnel Self Development Program.
“I don’t think there’s been a really hard part; it’s all been really fun,” she said.
Watson has learned a lot of things in the pro-gram and has strengthened some skills.
“Starting with speeches, I noticed in the begin-ning I was weaker and now I’m stronger.”
Watson was encouraged to join the program to gain confidence in herself and to get more involved with her community.
“Some of my favourite parts of the program were the fundraising dinners we helped to put on and it went really well,” she said.
“We got to say speeches in front of every one and that’s good practice coming up to pageant night.
“Another one of my favourite parts was meet-ing the girls because now we’re all close and I’ve made new friends.”
In her spare time, Watson teaches Sunday school and takes the kids she teaches out for picnics.
Watson’s talent for the pageant is scrapbook-ing, where she will showcase her skills in a vid-eo of her work.
Megan SwaileMiss Quesnel Dental

Observer Reporter
Megan Swaile enrolled in the Miss Quesnel Self Development Program to improve on her self-esteem.
“I wanted to improve my public speaking and I wanted to have more confidence in myself,” she said.
Swaile’s favourite part of the program, so far, has been being more involved in her community.
“I have loved volunteering around Quesnel,” she explained.
“I’ve learned a lot about different events that we’ve had and I’ve also learned about stuff that I never knew.”
If chosen to become Quesnel royalty, Swaile is looking forward to travelling with the other loyalty.
“I’m looking forward to representing Quesnel in the different towns that we’re going to go to, as well as learning more about my city that I haven’t known about,” she said.
For her talent, Swaile will be singing.“I’m deciding between three Carrie Under-
wood songs,” she said.When she isn’t singing, Swaile enjoys hiking,
walking and going to lakes.

Congratulations to the executive and volunteers of the Billy Barker Days Society! Quesnel is celebrating its 40th

For country music lovers, singer Aaron Pritchett will be on stage Friday night. On Saturday night, Canadian band Kenny Shields and Streetheart will be performing in LeBour-dais Park while Secret Happiness will provide the entertainment at the dance in the Seniors’ Centre. Those are just a few of the highlights!
Alex Fraser Park will again feature a stadium full of bulls, bucking horses and all of the excitement a rodeo brings. Rodeo performanc-es start on Friday and continue through to Sunday. Their theme for Friday night is “Tough Enough to Wear Pink” in support of the brave women and men in our community who battle breast cancer. They encourage everyone attend-ing on Friday night to join in and wear pink.
An important note in this years’ event is the change in the Billy Barker Days parade route. It will no longer go along Front Street. Please take a minute to look at the route map on their website at http://billybarkerdays.ca/images/General/paraderoute.jpg or on the front page of the City’s website. The parade is always a must-see for residents and visitors alike.
Of course there will be our usual favourites such as the Gold Dust Mall along Reid Street, amusement rides in the park, crash-to-pass and stock car racing at the Gold Pan Speedway, pie-eating contests and the list goes on.
The grand finale will be the amazing fire-works display on Sunday night!
The City of Quesnel is proud to be a long-time sponsor of the festival and we thank all of the sponsors for their support over the years. I would also like to acknowledge and thank the Province of British Columbia for their contri-bution this year on our 40th Anniversary.
I hope to see you over the weekend. Enjoy the festivities and don’t forget to buy a Billy But-ton! Again I congratulate the Billy Barker Days Society on their 40th Anniversary. I invite all of the community to join us in the celebration!
If you have a question for Mayor Mary Sjostrom, please e-mail it to us at [email protected] and we’ll forward it to the Mayor so she can answer it in an upcoming column.

HAFI adapts homes for B.C. seniors and people with disabilities
Brenda has always been an active woman. However, recent health issues including osteoarthritis in her left knee and losing kidney function have slowed her down. Her mobility is limited and she is now on dialysis three days a week. To adjust to her changed circumstances, Brenda sought help with her daily living activities.
Part of that help came from the Home Adaptations for Independence (HAFI) program offered through BC Housing. Launched in January 2012, the HAFI program provides financial assistance to help eligible low-income seniors and people with disabilities adapt their homes so they can continue to live independently.
Brenda applied for a new walk-in bathtub because she couldn’t safely get out of the tub on her own. Walk-in tubs include additional safety measures such as anti-slip floors, grab bars, and a very low step in.
Home adaptations may also include handrails in halls or stairs, ramps for
easier access, easy-to-reach work and storage areas in the kitchen, lever handles on doors or faucets, walk-in showers, and bathtub grab bars and seats.
Brenda is a strong advocate for the program and has even shared HAFI brochures with nurses in the renal unit where she undergoes dialysis. If you or someone you know is having difficulty performing day-to-day activities safely and independently – the HAFI program may be able to help.
Since the program began, more than 300 households completed renovations with HAFI financial assistance, making it possible for seniors and people with disabilities to continue to live in the safety and comfort of their home.

Friday, July 12, 2013 Quesnel Cariboo ObserverA8 www.quesnelobserver.com
I went camping with my family last week.
I didn’t want to, but my kids really did. Leading up to the trip I quietly dreaded it, and then the day we left for the two and a half hour drive to the campground I felt oddly excited.
The last camping trip we went on was a couple of years ago and I didn’t love the experience.
Crammed in an incredibly busy area, I felt like a sardine in a can and was counting down the days until I could escape. Sleeping in a tent trailer and walking down a dirt road to shower with spiders in the public restroom wasn’t my cup of tea either.
This time, I was told, would be different. Why? Because we’d be in a hotel on wheels, also known as a motorhome.
Not in a fancy hotel with all the bells and whistles, mind you. It would be more like an economically priced no-frills motel on wheels. But I didn’t care.
I was going to have electricity, a toilet, a kitchen and a shower. So, not exactly roughing it
like a true camper. But I think we’ve established I’m nowhere near being one of those.
When we arrived at our destination I was immediately charmed. The small lake was gorgeous and serene, there was a row of simple cabins, and the campgrounds behind them were large, spacious and surrounded by trees.
As I stood by the docks watching my husband and son unload the fishing boat, the owner and I started talking and immediately hit it off.
She was a beautiful woman and looked like she belonged in the city shopping with me rather than out in the boonies. Caroline explained how she and her husband used to live in Kelowna near us,
but he had found this place on the internet a few years earlier, and when they went to check it out in person, it was love at first sight.
I could see why. It really was gorgeous and suited its name, the Jewel Lake Resort. But then she dropped a bomb: no internet and no phone service. Oh my gosh, I might as well have been trapped in a tent.
“It’s kind of nice to unplug for awhile,” she said.
“That’s a huge attraction for a lot of people. You can totally relax and disconnect from the outside world up here.”
After setting up our site, my husband and 12-year-old son went off to kill fish while our 10-year-old daughter, Daisy, and I wandered around the campground.
Stopping in for ice cream at the office, we discovered a vast array of books, board games and some pictures of Caroline’s husband, former NHL player Jim Harrison, up on the wall. Turned out the guy was in the Guinness Book of World Records for most points scored in a professional hockey game
with 3 goals and 7 assists back in the ‘70s.
Yeah, okay. If an energetic high-achieving dude like that could kick back and relax out in the wilderness, I should be able to as well. I decided a little downtime and not being able to work for a couple of days would be good for me.
And it was. I picked daisies, played games, had a few drinks, read a magazine, made some friends, relaxed by the fire, and slept like a log.
Did I miss having wifi and phone service for a few days? Yes I did. But not nearly as much as I thought I would. Caroline was right – being unplugged forced me to relax and disconnect from the outside world.
I wouldn’t want to do it full time, but shutting off the computer and phone temporarily through the week in order to get grounded and calm the heck down seems like a good idea to me now. Sleeping in a tent and showering with spiders still doesn’t.

“Rape is the only crime in which the victim becomes the accused.”
– Freda Adler
You cannot cure evil.Twenty-two years ago
an Abbotsford rapist was sentenced to jail time.Twenty-two years as he was being
led to cells he said “See you in 22 years.”That was in 1993, in late June,
rapist Raymond Cassie was set free. Cassie has since relocated to Surrey,
RCMP have issued a warning to the public.In 1991 Cassie walked into
Abottford’s Trethewey House and forced a 21-year-old at knifepoint to remove her clothing.Then he raped her.After the assault he took the
woman to her bank where he instructed her to take out her daily limit. He then took her to a field near the U.S border, raped her again, gagged her and tied her to a tree.Two days later he pushed a
sharp object into a woman’s back, demanded her purse, pushed over her stroller containing her two-year-old son and fled. His past paints a picture of a
disturbed child; expelled from kindergarden, fighting with students, expelled again in Grade 5 for assaulting his teacher.This man cannot be fixed. He
cannot be safely reintroduced into society.He’s sick in the head and is a
serious danger to those around him. If you have to warn the general
public about a “dangerous” sex offender, it stands to reason the sicko shouldn’t be let out – ever.How long before he ruins someone
else’s life? Where is the justice to his victims?What does this say to offenders? Lock him up and throw away the
key.–Autumn MacDonald, Observer

Editor: This letter is written
in response to a recent letter to the editor which discussed human resources and succession planning issues at the City of Quesnel.
We always welcome feedback from the public. Our goal is to continually improve our practices and hearing from the public is an important part of this process.
The city workforce is going through a period of rapid change, nine
long-term employees have officially retired this year.
This change creates both concerns around maintaining our high quality of services and an opportunity to make some really positive moves. Council and management saw this trend emerging and have focused on succession planning not only as a way to fill the gaps, but also to recognize and motivate our employees.
The best place to fill more senior roles in the
city is from within the organization.
Some of the senior positions that we have filled internally include the fire chief, the manager of development services, the communications supervisor, the financial services supervisor, the senior building inspector and the bylaw supervisor.
Recently we also filled a vacancy at the Fire Hall with a qualified volunteer fire fighter.
Through their hard work and diligence these
employees have earned their promotions.
So what are the benefits to the city of succession planning? Certainly we spend money on training and more time mentoring and developing employees. However, we reap the benefits of employees that have an in-depth understanding of our operations ensuring continuity of our services.
These folks are already settled and involved in their community. Because of our focus
on internal hiring, any training that is taken generally stays here to benefit the city.
I believe that the opportunity to be recognized and potentially promoted for doing good work is a strong motivator. There was a recent letter commenting on an individual who was hired into a permanent human resources position.
She was offered the position based on her resume and previous work at the city.
Similar to others getting promoted, the individual hired may not have the same experience level as her predecessor, but her positive attitude and dedication to getting the job done well more than make up for that.
At the city we take the responsibility of being a progressive employer seriously, while ensuring that we remain accountable to our community.

BILLY BARKER DAYS
ANNIE GALLANTObserver Reporter
When Dave Peters was diagnosed with cancer, one of
the to-do-list chores, paint-ing the exterior of his home, wasn’t on the priority list, despite how desperately it was needed.
Placed in hospice, his condi-tion was terminal.
Partner Chris Knapton put the issue on the back burner as she came to terms with Dave’s prognosis.
However, friends of the couple stepped up to the plate and organized a painting party.
And thanks to Dave’s Canfor crew, who showed up on paint day in full force, what was
expected to be several days of work was completed in just nine hours.
“It’s amazing how people will get together to help our a friend in need,” Chris said.
“It shows you the spirit of people and the comaradarie that surfaces at times like this.”
Celine Purdy, who orga-nized the original painting party, said this kind of effort is Dave’s legacy because he would love to get everyone together. She added with Dave dying of cancer and Chris having a tough time, they just wanted to pretty up the house.
“Close to 20 people have pitched in to paint the exterior of the house,” she said, slap-ping more paint on the gate at the back of the house.
She added food and supplies have arrived steadily for the volunteers.
Chris was overwhelmed with the generosity of everyone.
“I want to give kudos to the long-time friends and Dave’s Canfor co-workers who have taken the time and energy to help us out with the house painting and other small generosities to make our life a little easier.”
The painting crew created a party-like atmosphere as they painted exterior walls and trim. Something Chris really appreciated as she made the many trips to visit Dave and take care of the details involved with this very sad time.
Dave lost his battle with can-cer July 9.

Regional 4-H demonstra-tions were held at Pineview Community Hall in Prince George recently.
Three senior teams and � ve junior teams competed. Teams competed from Wil-liams Lake, Prince George and Quesnel.
4-H demonstrations are an 8 – 10 minute team presenta-tion on how to make or do
something of interest to the participants.
After the demonstration, there is a brief question and answer period when the 4-H members can be quizzed about their demon-stration.
This year’s competition saw an array of demonstration topics from how to make pizza to pancake art.
All participants had a great time and look forward to next year’s competition.
Two teams from Quesnel came home with medallions. Kayleen Dillabough and Kevin Lindsay, the senior from Barlow Creek 4-H Club, won silver and Isabelle Knoke and Chantelle Klassen, the senior team from Kersley 4-H Club, won bronze.

ANNIE GALLANTObserver Reporter
Since the age of l0 when Pearl Mayhew took her first picture on her mother’s 35mm film camera, she has had a fascination and a passion for photography.
Her show Go West Series at the Quesnel Art Gallery is selected work by the photographer which, through the historical theme, is an impressive collection of found images. A mix of black and white, colour and enhanced photographs include such breathtaking work as the life-sized image of an eagle, a grizzly in a field of flowers, a spooky tombstone from Quesnel’s Pioneer Cemetery and an up-close and personal view of a mountain sheep.
“I’ve always been interested in landscapes, lakes, walks, trees and wildlife,” she said.
Eventually, Mayhew purchased her own camera but said it was just a cheap 35mm. She upgraded a few years later with an SLR Pentax with a few extra lenses.
Mayhew considered herself passionate but her photography was simply a hobby.
Consistently, this amateur photographer focused on landscapes and wildlife but she was frustrated with her work.
“I wanted to put the feeling of sense and place into my images,” she said.
“But I just couldn’t seem to do it.”
Her first step was to, again, upgrade her camera to a good quality Fuiji point and shoot and
loaded up on how-to photography books.
Still seeking the images she envisioned in her mind, Mayhew again upgraded her camera, this time a digital SLR Nikon D5000 with extra lenses.
Her hunger for better photographs took Mayhew back to school, where she enrolled in a college program on
photography. After discussions with her teacher, Mayhew jumped into the intermediate program and did very well.
“My goal was to capture the feeling in my image,” she said.
“My ah-ha moment was a picture of a grosbeak. His feathers and the rest of the details were soft
and clear. The bird was softly defined, just as I envisioned it should be.”
Totally impressed with her accomplishment, Mayhew felt compelled to e-mail the image to her teacher.
“I thanked him but he came back with ‘no, its because you’re a risk taker. You go to the edge for the shadows and the drama.’”
Mayhew has again upgraded her equipment and began to discover just what is possible with the digital age and the world of Photoshop.
Called post (development of the captured image), Mayhew is very impressed with what’s possible.
“I love to walk the line of real and creative imagery,” she said.
“The ability to
transform the captured image to a different creative level.”
Her passion hasn’t diminished from that first image she captured back when she was a child.
As she moves forward with her photography, Mayhew is looking to gain more control over the lighting, which is often the most challenging.
“I want to stage my own lighting environment,” she said.
“I have images in my head and I want to improve my storytelling.”
Go West Series hangs for the month of July at the Quesnel Art Gallery in the Quensel and District Arts and Recreation Centre.
To contact Mayhew see her advertisement in the Info Book, 250-992-5131.

The Cariboo Cloggeroo opened The Sunset Theatre’s 2013 season in Wells, June 29 to a sellout crowd. People came from as far as Vancouver to start their Canada Day weekend with a bang.
Wells musician Bob Campbell, who often plays with Quesnel’s Murray Boal as The Wingdam Ramblers, opened the evening with several of his own compositions, including “Moosehead and the Truth”, a musical salute to the late Stompin’ Tom Connors.
Joey Only followed with a remarkable solo set of Connors’ repertoire, entirely in charac-ter. After channeling the spirit of Tom through more than a dozen songs, his Outlaw band – Sean Scallion, Joel Stern and Leah Martin – joined him on stage to raise the volume and fill the dance floor. Behind them, Bill Horne’s set of plywood cutouts emblazoned with red maple leaves and black rubber boots hovered in the air.
They played for three solid hours and the energy level never sagged. It wasn’t easy keep-ing up to the band, but cloggers who needed a boost could buy boot-shaped cookies embla-zoned with red maple leaves baked by Claire Kujundzic and Margaret Inoue.
Some revelers carried on after the theatre closed its doors and those who were up in time enjoyed the special Spud Breakfast the follow-ing morning at The Bear’s Paw Café, which sponsored the concert with Amazing Space Studio and Gallery.
To find out about upcoming events at the The Sunset Theatre, call 250-994-3400 or visit sunset-theatre.com.

The 2013 Canadian Cancer
Society’s Cops for Cancer Tour de North will begin Sept. 13 – 19. The team will enjoy an 850km bike ride through the north central British Columbia.
Cops for Cancer riders will start their ambitious route in Dawson Creek, travelling 850km south and finish in Williams Lake.
Day seven, the riders travel from Quesnel to McLeese Lake then on to Williams Lake: a total of 120km for the day.
Funds raised from this event supports paediatric cancer research and Camp Good Times (a summer recreation program at Loon Lake in Maple Ridge).
In Canada, an estimated 850 children a year are diagnosed with cancer. The successful treatments of most cancers help save about 82 per cent of these children – something you cannot put a price on.
Since the first Cops for Cancer event held in the Northern Region in 2001, it has raised more than $1.4 million towards paediatric
cancer. So rain or shine, long hills or no hills – it’s worth it.
If you would like to donate, visit www.copsforcancerbc.ca.
Quesnel will also have a Jail and Bail Sept. 6 so stop by and support an amazing cause.
We should never take life for granted because in a blink of an eye, it can all change. Your life is a blessing and what you do to help others is a measure beyond anything else.
It’s easy for these riders to simply say, “No, I would rather enjoy the sunshine from the comfort of my lounge chair.” But every individual participating is showing true strength and making a moment last – good or bad. This event is moving because of everyone involved. These riders are not waiting for the storm to pass, they are learning to ride in the rain. Guaranteed, no matter what the weather, they will be bringing their own sunshine with them.

PUBLIC NOTICERECALL AND INITIATIVE ACT
This notice is published pursuant to section 4 of the Recall and Initiative Act.
Approval in principle has been granted on an application for an initiative petition. The petition will be issued to proponent Dana Larsen on Monday, September 9, 2013 and signature sheets must be submitted to the Chief Electoral Officer by Monday, December 9, 2013.
The Title of the Initiative is:An initiative to amend the Police Act.
Summary of Initiative:The initiative draft Bill entitled, “Sensible Policing Act” proposes to amend the Police Act to no longer use provincial police resources on the enforcement of current laws in relation to simple possession and use of cannabis by adults. The draft law would prohibit the use of provincial police resources for this purpose, would require police to report in detail to the Minister of Justice any actual use of resources for this purpose and why it was necessary, and require the Minister to publish that report. The Bill also proposes that the province would call upon the Federal Government to repeal the federal prohibition on cannabis, or give British Columbia an exemption, such that British Columbia is able to tax and regulate cannabis similar to the regulation of alcohol and tobacco. As well it proposes that British Columbia shall establish a Provincial Commission to study the means and requirements necessary for the province to establish a legal and regulated model for the production and use of cannabis by adults. Last, the Bill would make non-lawful possession and use of cannabis by minors an offence similar to possession and use of alcohol.
Opponent Registration:Individuals or organizations who intend to incur expenses as opponents must apply for registration with the Chief Electoral Officer by Monday, August 12, 2013. Registration applications for opponents are available from Elections BC.
Initiative Advertising:Individuals or organizations who sponsor initiative advertising, other than the proponent and registered opponents, must register with the Chief Electoral Officer before they conduct or publish initiative advertising. Registration applications are available from Elections BC.
Who May Sign the Petition:Registered voters as of Monday, September 9, 2013 may sign the initiative petition. Individuals may only sign the petition once, and must sign the petition sheet for the electoral district in which they are registered at the time of signing.

ANNIE GALLANTObserver Reporter
Gloria Lazzarin has called Quesnel home for the past 65 years.
“I consider Quesnel my home town,” she said.
She married Quesnel-born John Lazzarin and joined a family with history in the community dating back to 1910.
Lazzarin says her husband’s family history was certainly a big part of why she established the Lazzarin Family Fund with Quesnel Community Foundation.
Her $7,500 donation will be added to the existing endowment fund and enable QCF to distribute even more money to community groups. The endowment fund is never touched, rather the interest earned on the now $1.7 million pot allows the foundation to distribute thousands of dollars to worthy community projects. In 2012, they distributed $40,000 and this summer were in a position to offer a second funding cycle.
Lazzarin also has a distinguished history with QFC. She was one of the first board members and chaired the grants committee during her tenure with the foundation.
The original endowment fund was started with money from the 2000 B.C. Winter Games held in Quesnel and has grown from $500,000 to now approaching $2 million.
“I give credit to the council of the day for seeing the wisdom of establishing the Quesnel Community Foundation,” Lazzarin said.
“They had the vision.”As a member of one of Quesnel’s long time
families, she sees giving back to her community as almost an obligation, one Lazzarin is happy to fulfill.
“The Lazzarin family moved here and thrived in this community so it’s time to give back.”
Lazzarin also credits the community with helping her to raise outstanding, productive children.
“It takes a village to raise a child and my children are all doing well and all volunteer and give to their communities,” she said.
“I don’t take all the credit, this community helped raise great contributing adults.”
With the new Lazzarin Family Fund, QCF’s Cathy Briggs said 11 families have chosen to participate.
“I invite other long time families in the community to consider starting a family fund with Quesnel Community Foundation,” Lazzarin added.
Briggs said there’s several ways such a fund can be established and she welcomes those interested in donating to the endowment fund to give her a call, 250-747-1739 or email [email protected].
Also, any groups with a project or idea that could use financial aid to make it happen needn’t be intimated by the application process. Once again, Briggs is more than willing to assist organizations in applying for funding.
“With less and less government money flowing from all levels, it’s important for groups to access funds wherever possible,” Lazzarin said.
“Quesnel is a great place to start.”She went on to say groups shouldn’t be
intimidated or reluctant to apply to QCF.“QCF is a friendly, welcoming organization
and there’s assistance for preparing your application,” Lazzarin said.

Growing Up
Sometimes you get discouraged,because I am so small.
And always leave my � ngerprints,on furniture and wall.
But every day I’m growing up,and soon I’ll be so tall.
That all my little handprints,Will be too hard to recall.
So here’s a special print,just so you will know,
exactly how my � ngers looked,when I was 4 years old
Sarah
Congratulations Sarah,
We are so proud of you, watching you grow and learn from a young girl into a mature young woman. You are a great
sister, daughter and friend. It has been our pleasure to be a part of it all. We
wish you all the best as you take on the next phase of your life...
Love Dad, Nicole, Christopher & Colton
The Place Wherefriends meet2012 2013
I am honored to stand here before you today, on behalf of Correlieu’s class of 2013. A few days ago, I came across im-ages of zebras. This got me thinking. Spe-cifically, about zebras running from one waterhole to another. I thought about the crocodiles they dodged, the thorny bush-es they ran through, and that awesome waterhole that they finally arrived at.
Well class, our exams have been great
crocodiles, the school parking lot has been a heckuva thorny bush, and here we are, after five years, with our next water-hole mere steps away. It is said that in a land far far away, across the plains, there is a river which can supply us with more water than we could ever use.
I still remember starting our run to the waterhole five years ago at QSS. At the time, the school felt humongous, I had no idea where to go after getting dropped off by my parents, and seemed to bump into gigantic grade twelve’s at every turn. I soon discovered the “homeroom”, my classes, and my teachers and ended up having an awesome year.
The next year, as you all know, QSS became QJS, something which, at the time, I didn’t like at all, mainly because we weren’t permitted to go downtown at lunch anymore. While I hadn’t given this matter a lot of thought since grade nine, just the other day I realized that if our schools hadn’t merged, I would never have had the pleasure of attending school with half of the students here today.
The merger of our two smaller schools has given this one an amazing breadth and level of talent in its students and com-petitive teams. Among us here tonight are some great players of all kinds of sports: basketball, soccer, hockey, football, base-
ball, track and field, etc... But not only do we have some great competitors at our school, we also have some very skilled artists, actors, writers, musicians, aca-demics/mathletes, woodworkers, metal-workers, mechanics, and volunteers.
Together, we have brought home tro-phies and medals for our school, we have written countless tests and exams, have probably used up a good sized forest in note-paper, have temporarily redecorated the exterior of Correlieu in order to ex-press our pride in our accomplishments thus far and, we may have even learned a few things along the way.
At this point I would like to thank the great Correlieu staff and teachers who have put up with our shenanigans, have allowed us to leave class early that sunny Friday, and above all, have taught us a few of the things we need to know to suc-ceed now and in the future. I would also like to thank everyone who took time out of their day to help organize extra-curricular activities and/or coach a sports team at Correlieu as well as our friends and family for all their support and for having made our journey thus far as fun and memorable as it was.
Now that we’ve gotten the past over with, let’s move on to the future. Each of us here is an individual, we each have our
own pattern of black and white stripes on our hides. We have each forged our own paths to this waterhole, and our paths will further diverge in the future. Some of us here tonight will immediately en-ter into the workforce, others will attend some form of post-secondary institution, and still others have already started at-tending post-secondary. Today, let’s all give ourselves a huge pat on the back for making it this far.
While the waterhole we’re at now is great, we have to remember to keep mov-ing before we are trampled by the next herd. Let us find bigger, fresher, and more satisfying waterholes for ourselves. As we forge our paths, we will undoubtedly en-counter many difficulties, none of which are insurmountable with the right mind-set.
This has been expressed well by Win-ston Churchill, who once said that “The pessimist sees difficulty in every oppor-tunity. The optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty.” So class of 2013, let’s see the opportunities in every difficulty, whatever they may be, let’s cut down those thorny bushes, cage up the crocs, and let’s make it all the way to that river.
Thank you.

Good evening honoured guests, Members of the Board of Education,
District Administration, parents and family and …most importantly good evening to the graduates of 2013. My name is Michael Adams and I have the privilege of being principal of our great high school Correlieu Secondary.I am extremely proud of this graduating class. There are so many things to highlight. I will give you just a few of the things that cause me to be so proud.We have had many students receive entrance scholarships to local, regional, provincial and international post secondary institutions. Our sixth year grad rate continues to improve and we are above the provincial average and amongst the best outside the lower mainland and Okanagan areas. Our aboriginal grad rates are 10 per cent above the provincial average, amongst the best in the province.Twenty percent of our grads applied for the Dogwood District Awards from the Ministry or Education. An unprecedented 29 of our graduates received awards of $1,000 for excellence in athletics, trades and technology, performing arts, visual arts, languages, business education, community service and citizenship. We had 50 students display their work in our gym. The quality of their work was remarkable. Our Evergreen Graduates presented their Grad transition portfolios as part of community transition celebration, further adding to my pride.Our First Peoples’ English 10/11 class participated in the Project of Hearts and created
tiles in honour of those who endured the residential school experience. They then attended the St. Joseph Mission Commemoration in Williams Lake as part of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission. They presented their tiles to Chief Fred Robbins in what proved to be a very emotional and heartwarming ceremony. Our students represented Correlieu Secondary very well as we were the only school which attended.Our trades education program is � ourishing. We have strengthened our partnership with the local campus of the College of New Caledonia and had 10 students participate in the Dual Credit program earning both grade 12 credit and the � rst year of their trades certi� cation. This year we had about 150 Grade 12s enrolled in Career Preparation Programs. Our trades classes were fully subscribed and the projects that resulted were incredible. Athletically we have offered a full compliment of extra curricular activities. We sent members of our wrestling team, our downhill ski and board team, boys soccer and swimming to provincial championships. By the way, it was the � rst time we sent a ski team to zone ands provincials. I am pleased to announce that our ski team came fourth in the province... and we are proud as it was the � rst time a sit skier had ever participated in the zones and provincials. Our volley ball, basketball and girls soccer teams narrowly missed provincial tournaments by � nishing second in the zone.We have had more grads involved in community service and citizenship activities than ever before. Our student
council/leadership group really stepped up and with little adult direction hosted many student activities including three very successful dances. Our Rotary Af� liated Interact Club has been busy all year providing support and service to both local and international charities. Our PRIDE (People Respecting Individuality, Diversity and Equality) Club hosted both our anti-bullying day and PRIDE day in support of tolerance and acceptance. …and above all …this class has established a very positive, respectful and responsible tone for all our younger students.Clearly, I am very proud of our graduates. Their scholarship, attitude, leadership, dedication has made our school a great place to learn and work. …and to the grad… I challenge you to not be satis� ed with your high school accomplishments as there is far more ahead of you than behind. High school should not be the pinnacle of your life. …and at the risk of being cliché …your high school graduation represents the beginning of the rest of your life. Set goals and work hard to achieve them. Face challenges because we grow by overcoming the challenges we set for ourselves. Go forward into your life, make your mark on the world…and leave it better than you found it.Enjoy your graduation festivities but please be safe… you have much, much more to look forward to.Know that your families, Correlieu Secondary and the community of Quesnel are proud of you.I wish you all the best in your future.
On behalf of the Quesnel School District, I offer my
congratulations to all our 2013 graduates.
You have achieved an important milestone in your life.
Graduating from high school has taken hard work and
determination.You have developed many
skills; you know how to learn and how to work hard.
As you plan your future it is important to continue your learning – training and education are critical to your future success.
Thank you to your families for the encouragement and support they have provided; and to your teachers, much gratitude for their excellent instruction.
Curiosity and determination are the keys to your success!

Quesnel teams had a hard run at it at soccer provincials this year.
The girls’ soccer teams travelled south to North Vancouver, while the boys went north to Prince George to pit themselves against the rest of the province.
The girls U13 team faced a tough roster of teams according to coach Gilbert Schotel. First, they faced off against the Marpole Phoenix, a Lower Mainland team, losing 6-0. Next up, the girls played well in a close game against the Kooteney Rovers. The Strikers lost 1-2 in a game that tethered for much of the 60 minutes. Chilliwack proved too tough for the Strikers, beating them 8-1. The girls ended their tournament with a bit of heartbreak after a nil-nil game against the Terrace Kermodeis snuck away from them when a Terrace player scored a lone goal in the last five minutes.
Schotel said his goalie, Ashley Carter, played well all weekend and did phenomenally in the final game to keep them in it to the very end.
The U15 girls fought hard in their first game, keeping Tswwassen to a 1-1 game at half, but losing 4-1 at full time. In their second game, Quesnel and the Nelson Selects played a back and forth, exciting game to a 1-1 tie. The West Van Spuraways, who went on to win their division, beat Quesnel 4-1. In their final game, the Strikers were just edged out by the Squamish Fireballs, 2-1.
The keeper, Hailey Schotel did really well and had a great weekend, keeping them in some of the games, Gilbert Schotel said.
“The girls had a lot of fun. They enjoyed the provincial competition and were able to take in a Whitecaps game as well,” Glibert Schotel said.
The U13 boys went into the tournament with only a pair of games under their belts and still had some
growing to do, which they accomplished through the tournament.
“We showed some real strong improvement throughout the tourney,” coach James Browne said.
The first game proved to be the most difficult for the team, losing to Surrey FC United, 14-1, but Browne was happy with his team’s perseverance in the game. They lost again against Terrace, 6-0, with a variety of problems plaguing the game. Next up, the Strikers came up against the Kamloops Blaze, who expected to easily roll over them, but the Strikers kept them down to nil-nil for most of the first half, though the Blaze found their feet in the second half to beat them 6-0. In their final game, the Strikers lost a nail biter to Williams Lake, 3-4.
“It was a hard fought and sportsmanlike game,” Browne said.
The team had such a great time playing together they are considering continuing on into the summer.
The U15 boys struggled against some very tough competition as well.
Their first game, they fell to Gorge FC 8-1. Next up, the Strikers faced off against the Kootenay South Big Horns, to whom they lost 6-1. In their final game of the weekend, the Strikers fell to Royal City Westminster United, 0-11.
The U18 boys had a tough time on the weekend as a road closure and a game time change made life difficult for the team.
Half the Strikers, with half stuck on the highway behind an accident, lost to Coastal FC United 1-6. The Strikers then faced off against their Cariboo Rivals, the Kodiak A team, losing 6-1. Next up, the Strikers last to Saanich, 0-5. That was followed up by a game time change coach Mike Page was made aware of the midnight before the game which threw the team into confusion going into their final game against the Kodiak B team, which proved to be close, with the Strikers losing 0-1.

sewer system Complete Next Week
“Quesnel’s new $750,000 sewer system will be complete within the next week. This was the report presented by resident engineer R.N. Fouty at council meeting on Tuesday when August 16 was set as the date when both of the new treatment plants will be open for public inspection. Mr. Fouty revealed that the entire system West of Baker Creek is ready for hook ups. Balance of the work in West Quesnel will be complete by the end of this week and the same situation exists in the Johnston sub division area. The Baker Creek Treatment plant is also ready for operation and chlorination equipment at both plants is completed. This means that chlorinating of effluent from the Baker Creek plant will take place from the time the unit goes into operation. At the same time council was informed that 325 hook-ups have been made in central Quesnel, with 75 applications pending.”

JONAS GAGNONObserver Reporter
So you think you're tough; you go to the gym and pump weights and run the River Walk everyday, you can do pushups for longer than most people can stand and can bench press your parents, both at once.
A cadre of Gold Pan residents think they're tougher though and they have 21 kms of mud, electricity, ice water and pain, otherwise known as Tough Mudder, backing up their claim.
" It’s a hardcore 10-12 mile obstacle course designed by British special forces to test your all around strength, stamina, mental grit, and camaraderie," Loretta Mighton, one of the participants from Quesnel said.
"It consists of mud, fire, freezing cold waters and electricity shock."
And somehow, this fire, mud and pain is fun. So fun in fact, many of the participants are already excited for next year, having signed up almost immediately.
"It was amazing."Courtney Chatwin, another Quesnel participant said. "Very fun, dirty, challenging and worth it."
It was the second year that Tough Mudder has run in Whistler and is reputed to be one of the toughest endurance and military-style obstacle races in North America.
Set in the mountains at Whistler Olympic Park, it has everything to test your physical and mental capabilities. Along the race course are 2 military obstacles, ice cold water and lots of mud. Most participants took two to three hours to complete the course. This year 19,000 participants and 8,000 spectators took part in the event held June 21 weekend, running through 10,000 volts of electricity, jumping through fire and into the freezing cold water to make the finish line for their coveted orange Tough Mudder headband and t-shirt
All of which sounds like a cross between a race and torture in writing. And if you think the electricity would be a bit of a joke, just something to put on their posters, Mighton said that's not the case.
"The electro shock therapy at the end definitely had the juice in it this year!" she said.
"Big guys were getting dropped left and right in the mud when zapped with the hanging wires. As our team ran through at the end. I got a shock in the face as well as my right arm. Growing up on a ranch I know the feeling from electric fences and this year it was definitely turned up full! Let's just say your body felt a bit weird for an hour after. I looked back and my teammate Rosie Dunn got hit pretty hard, knocking her down. I don't think she knew what hit her, but she pushed through, hard."
If you'd like to see some more pictures, or are interested in pushing through the pain and declaring yourself one Tough Mudder, go to toughmudder.com.
They’re tough mudder – shut
your mouth

DOUGLAS RONALD MARTINMay 5th, 1981 - July 7th, 2012
One year has passed since this wonderful young man was so suddenly taken from us. The loss of this loving son, brother, husband, father, uncle and dear friend
left a void in the lives of all who knew and loved him.It is said there is a reason for such things and that with time comes healing. However, neither time nor reason has changed the way we feel. There is heartache behind our smiles, and it seems almost impossible to count how many times we’ve cried. There can be no doubt that we fi nd joy and solace
in our wonderful memories, for it is those memories that keep him living in our hearts.
Forever lovingly thought of and so greatly missed.Love Always, Dad, Mom, Kristina, Jessica, Colin,
Michelle and family, Patrick, Sheena and family, Grandma.
We are so very proud of you for attaining your Bachelor of Science Degree! You have put in many years of hard work! We wish
you all the best with your future!
Love Mom and Dad, Jamie and Jordan
Congratulations Eric!
on receiving your Northern Collaborative Baccalaureate
Nursing Degree.
Love from the whole family. Especially
Mom, Dad & Lane.
Congratulations

We had the pleasure of meeting Ray Hoekendyk of Excel Mobile RV Service when we called him to do a service call on our travel
trailer. His response and quick repair enabled us to not miss any of our planned camping trip. To this day we continue to have Ray do
all of our RV repairs and maintenance so that we have peace of mind knowing everything was done correctly and professionally. We are very
happy with the professional RV service Ray has provided to us and will continue to use his business in the future along with letting our
friends know about his service.

ATTENTION RV OWNERS :
Norm Purmal of Plane View RV Park is pleased to have Ray Hoekendyk of Excel Mobile RV Service join the team. Having
provided repairs and maintenance to several tenants at Plane View RV Park, the feedback on his service was outstanding. I have also had Excel RV Service work on my own RV and was very pleased with the
professional workmanship and quality service that Ray provided.

It is up to us, the residents of Quesnel, to raise the funds to build our
Multi-Centre and now is our time. By supporting the North Cariboo
Multi-Centre you are investing in the future of our community in so
many ways.
It’s easy - here is how individuals and companies can help:
• Buy a seat for $250, dedicate it to someone you love or as a legacy- if every seat sold, we would raise $500,000; • Buy a piece of the North Cariboo Nature Mural starting at $25; • Sponsor the theatre; • Sponsor a room in the multi-centre; • Make a donation.
Many packages have been delivered to businesses and individuals.
If you are ready to make your donation or would like more information,
please call Carol @ 250-991-2878 or Bernice 250-747-1727.
