Gold Pan families will soon benefit from a $2 million, healthy eating coupon program.

Monday, the provincial gov-ernment announced plans to in-vest a further $2 million into the expansion of the Farmer’s Mar-ket Nutrition Coupon Program. This funding provides lower-income seniors and families in Quesnel and across the province with the tools they need to ac-cess locally-grown produce and food products and support im-proved healthy eating.

“Any program that promotes healthy, nutritious, local eating habits is great for seniors and families,” Cariboo North MLA Coralee Oakes said.

“This program does all of those things and also benefits lo-cal farmers and I’m very happy to have this program running here in Quesnel.”

How the program works:• The program offers $15

worth of coupons each week to individuals and families en-rolled in the nutrition and skills building programs offered by community agencies associated with each participating market.

• Coupons are treated like cash and can be used to purchase a variety of B.C. food products, including fruit, vegetables, meat, fish, eggs, nuts, dairy and herbs.

• The program is expected to support about 1,300 families and 400 seniors in 2013 and

will continue to expand.• This year the program has

added 13 new markets for a to-tal of 34 participating markets located throughout the prov-ince.

• The $2 million in funding provided through the Provincial Health Services Authority in 2013 builds on an initial $2 mil-lion investment in 2012.

 Quick Facts:• The coupon program runs

from July through October 2013 and is administered by the BC Association of Farmers’ Markets.

• To participate in the pro-gram, farmer’s markets partner with a community agency that works to provide nutrition, cooking, or healthy lifestyle skills building programs to low-er income British Columbians. Participants then gain the skills and knowledge needed to help them eat healthier and make the most of their local farmers’ markets.

• The BC Association of Farm-ers’ Markets is a provincially registered, non-profit associa-tion, which represents farmers’ markets throughout the prov-ince.

At member markets, the fo-cus is on selling locally grown or processed farm-fresh foods and vendors must either make, bake or grow the products they sell.

Everyone loves a parade

new parade route seemed to work just

fine with youth partici-pation, business floats,

local officials and a host of colourful and

entertaining additions. For more coverage see this paper, Friday’s pa-

per and our Photos and Memories publication.

City receives commercial improvement grantThe City of Quesnel

was successful in their grant application for $20,000 for commercial façade improvements.

The Façade Improvement Program, offered for the first time in Quesnel through Northern Development Initiative Trust, provides the opportunity to make commercial areas more inviting and visually appealing to visitors and residents; increase assessed property values; promote private sector investment; build civic pride; and stimulate the local economy.

 “A sincere thank you to Northern Development Initiative Trust for their continued investment in the north,” Mayor Mary Sjostrom said.

“We are extremely pleased that our grant application was successful and that we are able to provide this type of assistance.

“I would encourage all eligible property and business owners to take advantage of this opportunity.”

 The program offers assistance to property owners and business owners to improve the physical appearance of buildings. The guidelines are intended to maximize the benefit for improving the aesthetics of commercial areas.

 The City of Quesnel will provide a 50 per cent reimbursement grant up to a maximum of $5,000 per building/project to improve the facades of commercial buildings. The building must be located in one

of the following Development Permit Areas: Downtown Core, West Quesnel, South Quesnel Highway, or Highway Frontage. Each building or business within the area is eligible for a one time grant. Projects must have a minimum total cost of $2,000 in order to qualify.

 Eligible improvements may consist of but are not limited to new lighting, architectural features, new windows, facade painting, new siding, murals, entrances and doorways, signage and awnings.

Only buildings used for commercial or offices are eligible; residential buildings are not eligible.

To apply, you must

be the property owner or have written authorization from the property owner. There must be a current, valid business licence for the property (unless currently vacant or otherwise exempt) and there must be no outstanding permit matters.

 A map of eligible properties, eligibility requirements and complete application details are now available on the city’s website at www.quesnel.ca/Permits.html.

NEWS

Fire ratings hover at moderateThe Cariboo Fire

Centre/ Wildfire Management Branch reports one wildfire from the weekend, a small vehicle fire that got into a tree canopy near Bridge Lake on Saturday night.

This fire was first actioned by the Interlakes volunteer fire department and then a CFC Initial Attack crew on Sunday morning, and as of Tuesday is in patrol status.

So far in July, there have been 15 wildfires with eight person-caused and seven lightning-caused. The fires have mostly been small, the biggest at four hectares from lightning in the Cariboo Mountains. There have been a total of 63 wildfires (49 person-caused, 14 lightning-caused) in the CFC this season, burning 1,068 hectares.

The current fire danger rating is split between moderate and high throughout the CFC, with areas of high in the Chilcotin, Williams Lake, Quesnel and Likely regions, and extreme near Middle Lake in the west Chilcotin. The fire danger rating is forecast to rise this

week throughout the Cariboo-Chilcotin due to continued warm, dry weather.

The CFC would like to again remind the public there is an open burning prohibition in place for the entire Cariboo-Chilcotin region, banning any backyard and industrial waste, slash or grass fires. The CFC also urges the public to be vigilant with any type of fire use, including campfires and fireworks, and to properly and safely extinguish cigarettes.

Wildfires can also be

sparked by industrial and recreational machinery in these types of warm, dry conditions with low relative humidity.

Ongoing CFC/WMB air patrols are on the lookout for fires in the more remote areas of the region.

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 wildfire or unattended campfire, call 1-800-663-5555 or *5555 on your cellphone. For more information on open fire restrictions or for updates on current wildfire activity, visit bcwildfire.ca

After climate scientist-turned-Green Party MLA

Andrew Weaver had a taste of debate in the B.C. legislature, I asked him for his impressions on that and other issues. Excerpts from that discussion:

TF: You did a study comparing burning all the world’s coal reserves and all oil reserves, showing how big coal really is.

The federal government says that when you add up what’s actually being used in North America, carbon emissions from coal are about 30 times more than from oil.

Now we have a symbolic coal export ban in Vancouver, which doesn’t apply to Port Moody or Point Roberts or Prince Rupert. Do you think there’s any significance to this?

AW: There is no question that the biggest issue around is coal, because coal use is on the rise world-wide. Not in the United States, because they’re converting [power production] to natural gas. This is why American producers are saying, let’s ship it to Asia. California says no, Oregon says

no, Washington says no. Vancouver says no, British Columbia, not sure.

It’s pushing us to start thinking about what I think is going to be the greatest industrial revolution the world has ever seen, which is transformation of energy systems away from our combustion approach, which is essentially what we’ve been doing since we were in caves.

We’ve gone from burning wood to now fossil wood, and fossil plants and fossil algae, to a much more modern era of production of energy through natural means, solar, wind, geothermal etc.

TF: Liquified natural gas. The NDP says they are absolutely in favour of that now.

AW: I have questioned the economics of it from

day one. There’s a market differential that exists now. There’s that small window because Japan is moving from nuclear to natural gas. But we’re way behind everyone else.

TF: Thirty years ago, Japan played Australia and B.C. off for metallurgical coal. Those northeast B.C. coal mines are back up and running again, but you’re seeing a similar thing here?

AW: Yes. And if we start shipping natural gas to Asia … the Asian price comes down, the North American price goes up. British Columbians haven’t been told that.

TF: How has the legislature session been for you?

AW: I sit there and watch the two parties. Rhetorical question, condescending answer. Rhetorical question, condescending answer. And I hope more British Columbians watch this, because this needs to change. And I think it can change.

TF: The NDP opposition decides when you and Delta South Independent Vicki Huntington get your occasional moments in question period?

AW: Yes, and if I’ve asked it’s been no problem.

TF: Grudgingly no doubt. If the NDP had their way, the closest Green Party member would be in Holland.

AW: [Laughs] Yes. Certainly not in North America. There’s this sense of entitlement within the NDP to the ‘green’ vote. And I sense that the B.C. Liberals very much like our existence, as being not NDP. The reality is, we take as many Liberal votes, if not more.

It’s because what it means to be ‘green’ has moved out of what the NDP view as green, which is a tree hugger. It’s kids going to school, talking about conservation, and going home to talk to their parents. That’s where our votes are coming from.

TF: Are you going to be found standing in front of a coal train any time soon?

AW: No, never. They asked me to, and I said no, because I don’t believe in civil disobedience.

the Korean War were finally to be recognized with their own day of remembrance.The Year of the Korean War

Veteran was proclaimed by the federal government in January to coincide with the 60th anniversary of the armistice signed in 1953.But the enactment of a special day,

July 27, to be marked in perpetuity to honour the sacrifices and efforts of Canadian soldiers, sailors and air force personnel, has more long-term significance.In all, 516 Canadians died and

another 1,558 were wounded in the three-year conflict, a battle between the Soviet and China-supported north, and the south Koreans, supported by the United Nations, some of the member countries of which waged war against the Nazis just a handful of years previous.Media of the day largely ignored

the conflict, to the point where many Canadians didn’t realize their country was playing a role in the war-torn region.Luckily, things have changed in

50 years, including the treatment of veterans and the value we place on their role in maintaining peace and reducing chaos in the world.Most wars in which Canada

has been involved have aimed to achieve a political end for the greater good.The people on the front lines

working to accomplish that aim – some of whom paid the ultimate price – deserve to be recognized for their efforts, which in the vast majority of cases are honest, true and patriotic.Regardless how one feels about

war, the Canadians who have fought them have, at the end of the day, worked to protect the rights and freedoms we should never take for granted.For that, they deserve our thanks.

Editor:On behalf of the

Quesnel RCMP, I would like to extend a huge thank you to everyone who made the RCMP Musical Ride performance a tremendous success.

Special thanks to the members of the Rotary Club of Quesnel and the Quesnel Rodeo Club who put in countless volunteer hours organizing and hosting this event.

Thanks to the members of our local media who helped promote the event, the RCMP members and Auxiliary volunteers who volunteered their time, and the more than 1,700 community members who attended the performance.

The pre-show was phenomenal – from the two 11 year olds hoop dancers, Latisha and Destiny, the up and coming cowboys who did their best to tame those wild ponies, to the police dog demonstrations – which highlighted the incredible control and discipline of our police dogs.

This all set the stage for the magnificent display of patriotic pageantry of the Musical Ride itself.

It was a great night for Quesnel, the RCMP and Canada.

Again, many, many thanks to all who were involved. You deserve to be extremely proud of yourselves.

Sgt. Steve VrolykActing Detachment

CommanderQuesnel RCMP

Pint-sized prospectorsKids Kare Daycare were true winners in their category of decorating for Billy Barker Days. They won Best Win-

dow Painting, Best Dressed Staff and Best All Around Decor. Staff and daycare children spent three weeks creating the mining display, including historical information on the gold rush, the people and the equipment

and tools needed to mine almost 150 years ago. The children had fun learning to pan, dressing up for Billy Barker Days and discovering a little about life in gold rush times. The children really embraced the spirit of

gold mining, including fighting over gold, shovels and claims.Annie Gallant and Debb Fee photos

As the members of Quesnel

Lodge #69 prepare to celebrate the 100th Anniversary of their Lodge a series of articles are being written in this column to provide our community with more insight into history of Freemasonry in Quesnel, the masonic family, its charities and the organization itself. This is the second part of a two-part article intended to provide a simple explanation as to what Freemasonry is all about.

Most North American masonic lodges are composed of less than a hundred members of which perhaps thirty are active and will come out regularly to the one or two meetings a month. Each meeting is opened and closed following a particular form of ritual and then run in a manner closely resembling Robert’s Rules of Order for the purpose of conducting its business to keep the membership apprised

of the workings of the lodge: paying of accounts, charitable works in progress, assistance to sick or distressed brethren, and the like. Some meetings are also used for the conferring of one of the three degrees of Freemasonry. Many lodges also organize socials, dances, outings, dinners and sporting events for their members and families.

Why are the rituals and ceremonies secret? Tradition, more than anything — there have been times and places where promoting equality, freedom of thought or liberty of conscience was dangerous. Also, a lesson that must be earned may have a greater impact. Most importantly though is a question

of perspective. Each aspect of the ritual has a meaning. Freemasonry has been described as a system of morality, veiled in allegory and illustrated by symbols. Such characteristics as virtue, honour and mercy, such virtues as temperance, fortitude, prudence and justice are empty clichés and hollow words unless presented within an ordered framework. The lessons are not secret but the presentation is kept private to promote a clearer understanding in good time.

It is also possible to view masonic secrecy not as secrecy in and of itself, but rather as a symbol of privacy and discretion. By not revealing masonic secrets, or acknowledging the many published exposures, freemasons demonstrate that they are men of discretion,

worthy of con� dences and they place a high value on their word and bond.

But the true secrets of a freemason are not contained in the ritual. A freemason who is true to his obligation will not reveal the modes of recognition, but they are not truly secret; this is demonstrated by the number of exposures that have been published over the centuries.

The secrets of a freemason are those personal, private and lawful aspects of a man’s life that he may choose to share with a brother, a brother who will keep those secrets. This is not secretiveness; this is discretion. There is also that secret which is not kept secret but is only revealed to those who realize the happiness that comes from living a good life.

In preparing this

column, I have taken very liberally from a paper presented on the website of the Grand Lodge of BC and Yukon.

The complete paper and many other articles covering a wide range of topics about Freemasonry may be found on that website www.freemasonry.bcy.ca.

Contributed by Bill Cave, a member of Quesnel Lodge No. 69 and a Past Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of BC and Yukon.

with Lee-Anne Williams B.Sc. (Pharm)It’s usually women who worry that their biological clock is ticking when they desire to have a family. However, men should also be concerned about their own clock. The age of the new father can have an effect on the health of their children. It’s important that if you are a new father-to-be, you be fit physically and mentally to give your children the best chance of a healthy life.At this time of year, our heels often become quite rough from going barefoot so often. Foot files are available to smooth the skin but have to be used with care. Pumice stones are much safer to use. Diabetics should be particularly cautious and pay close attention to their foot care.If you are stung by a bee, the stinger may still be in the skin. Take a credit card or a needle (not tweezers!) and scrape the stinger carefully off the skin. Pulling it out with tweezers might release more venom causing more swelling and pain. Our pharmacy staff’s goal is to get to know you and fullfil your prescription needs in a fast, personal and caring manner. Give our brand of pharmacy a try!

July 21 - July 27, 2013ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20Avoid making an important decision this week, Aries. Your mind is busy with too many ideas, and you will not be able to focus all of your attention on one task.

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21Taurus, you may find you are focused on your finances this week. It’s a good time to assess spend-ing habits and make some changes for the better.

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21Gemini, you may find that luck is on your side this week and you can use this to your advantage. Take some risks you might normally be hesitant to take.

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22You certainly are in the spotlight this week, Cancer. All of this attention may try your nerves, so you may be interested in hiding out somewhere. Later in the week, you will have the chance.

LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23Leo, a discussion with a friend could be significant this week, inspiring you to expand your goals and pursue new dreams with confidence. Be thankful for the newfound inspiration.

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22Protect your privacy this week, Virgo. Though nothing serious is on the horizon, now is a good time empha-size safety and security for you and your family.

LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23Restlessness settles in this week, Libra. You might want to plan a little adventure, whether it is a weekend trip or a night out on the town. The goal is to change the scenery.

SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22Scorpio, stay on top of bills, paperwork and anything else that helps you to get organized. Once you’re finished catching up, resolve to be more organized going forward.

SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21You will have to put forth some extra effort this week, Sagittarius. It may feel like others aren’t pulling their weight, but you still need to do what you have to do to get the job done.

CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20Capricorn, take some extra time cleaning up in anticipation of an unexpected guest. While company is always welcome, you want to have a tidy home to show off.

AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18Aquairus, enlist others to lend a helping hand this week. Others may not offer their time and effort, so be proactive in seeking help with an important task.

PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20Pisces, it may be tempting to stay at home. But you have responsibilities, and they need to be tended to. You can always relax once your work is done.
