Observer Reporter

RCMP raided a Quesnel rural residence, confi s-cating more than 2,500 marijuana plants, worth $2.5 million, and located three men hiding in the walls.

Last Tuesday the North District Integrated Mari-juana Enforcement Task Force (NDIME) members of the Quesnel RCMP, Williams Lake RCMP and Prince George Police Dog Services executed a search warrant at a rural residence on Rainbow Road.

RCMP entered the resi-dence and located a large marijuana grow opera-tion. The residence did not have any furniture and the entire build-ing was being used solely for the purpose of producing marijuana.

Police searched the residence and at fi rst were unable to locate any suspects.

With the help of police dog “Baron” a perimeter search of the property was conducted but the police dog showed no indica-tion of a track leading away from the residence.

Police were then confi dent that the suspects were still inside the building. RCMP located three adult males hiding in a secret compartment between two walls within the residence.

“RCMP seized 2,591 plants in various stages of growth, along with related growing equipment,” North District Media Relations Offi cer, Cst. Lesley Smith said.

“Police also seized a pick up

truck on the property which was being used to transport materials to support the marijuana grow operation.”

This drug seizure had a an es-timated street value of $2.5 mil-lion.

The three males aged 34, 35, and 37, are facing charges of pro-duction of a controlled substance and possession for the purpose of traffi cking.

All three males reside in the lower mainland.

They were released from cus-tody with a promise to appear in court on a later date.

This investigation is part of the Marijuana Grow Initiative, the RCMP’s national strategy to com-bat marijuana grow operations, and the organized crime groups running them in communities.

Supermoon over QuesnelSaturday night wasn’t just another moonlit night. The phenomenon of a supermoon lit the night sky and

dazzled viewers. As the moon appeared over the horizon, it was the closest to earth, about 6,000 kilometres

closer than normal and created an illusion of a super-sized, extra-bright celestial body. This photo was taken

about 2 a.m. through a maze of trees.Annie Gallant photo

City installs drainage system on West Side

Another signifi cant portion of the West Quesnel Land Stability dewatering program started Monday.

Quesnel’s Mass Construction is installing a new storm water drainage system on Stork Avenue and Hawk Street.

Currently, the upper Abbott storm water system drains into a low-lying treed area west of Crane Avenue.

This project will link that storm drain system to the lower Abbott system.

This will remove storm water from the West Quesnel Land Stability study area.

Residents should be prepared for some localized traffi c delays, as well as

some detours off portions of Abbott Drive, Stork Avenue and Hawk Street.

The city’s contractor will do its best to minimize inconvenience for motorists, pedestrians and local residents.

The city thanks its residents for their patience as this critical investment is made in the West Quesnel Land Stability study area.

The work is expected to take six to eight weeks to complete.

The estimated cost for this part of the project is $231,400 (plus HST), plus an additional $100,000 from the 2012 capital budget for paving once it’s complete.

The dewatering program is designed to help reduce land movement in the West Quesnel Land Stability studyarea.

The $4.7 million project will see the installation of 14 pumping wells, nine horizontal drain sites consisting of more than 70 drains, and storm water system improvements for West Quesnel and area residents.

More than $3.1 million was provided by the Government of Canada and the Province of British Columbia, through the Building Canada Fund-Communities Component program, part of Canada’s Economic Action Plan

for this project.The City of Quesnel

also contributed more than $1.5 million to pay for the full-scale dewatering program. In addition to the federal and provincial contributions, the City of Quesnel has invested more than $2.1 million on the West Quesnel Land Stability Program since 2000.

Forum slated Quesnel teachers

are hosting a public forum to discuss the future of public education in Quesnel in light of recent legislation.

The Future of Public Education in Quesnel Forum will be held at the Royal Canadian Legion May 30, 6:30 p.m. – 8:30 p.m. with refreshments

provided. The forum will

examine the new Bills 22 and 36 and the implications for schools and students.

The forum will deal with issues ranging from class size, composition and funding to school calendars and year round schooling.

The forum will

include a brief presentation on the legislation as well as a panel discussion with representatives from the Aboriginal community, QDTA, BCTF, CUPE and UNBC. A question/comment session will follow the panel discussion.

Everyone is welcome.

The Quesnel Farm-

ers’ Market opened

for business Saturday

on the Helen Dixon

grounds and custom-

ers flocked to the many

booths where they found

fresh produce, value-

added products, bedding

plants, perennials, food

on the go, handicrafts

and information booths.

Some customers were

surprised, and some

displeased, with the new

rule of no dogs on the

grounds, however, ven-

dors patiently explained

why the market board

of directors decided to

invoke the new policy

citing unruly dogs, dog

fights, undisciplined

animals and, possibly

the most persuasive

argument, the impact on

food booths. Regardless,

the policy is here to stay.Annie Gallant photos

CNC balances budgetIssues four layoff notices

The CNC board of governors approved a balanced budget for 2012/13 during its regularly scheduled meeting Friday.

The operating fund budget projects $48 million in revenues and expenses, with a surplus of $24,690.

The college’s balanced operating budget includes: reallocation of unused budget amounts in a number of areas; inclusion of additional and deferred revenues; non-replacement of some vacant full-time administrative, faculty and staff positions; a two per

cent tuition increase; and reductions to expenditures for equipment.

“There will be no suspensions or cancellations of existing services or programs,” CNC President John Bowman said.

“The impact on students and the community will be very minimal.”

The college will be consolidating low enrolment class sections, reducing low enrolment courses and will fi nd savings through improved scheduling.

Several early retirement and

voluntary severance packages and adjusted workload assignments have been granted.

“Unfortunately, it has been necessary

to issue four layoff notices to faculty members, two of which have options for a reduced workload.

All four could also be rescinded before they come into effect on July 31,” Bowman said.

The college had been projecting a $2.3-million budget shortfall for next year, if nothing was done to address rising expenses and declining revenues and funding.

Colleges are required by provincial legislation to plan for a balanced budget every year.

“There will be no suspensions or cancellations of existing services

or programs. The impact on students and

the community will be very minimal.”

John Bowman, CNC

Project goes to tenderThe fi rst of nine new Cariboo Connector

four-laning projects on Highway 97 went to tender last week.

The Old Cariboo Highway to Sintich Road project will widen approximately 3.5 km of Highway 97 to four lanes, and includes intersection improvements along the corridor. Work is scheduled to begin this year with completion anticipated in summer 2013.

This expansion will tie into the existing fi ve km of four-laning from Simon Fraser Bridge to Sintich Road, completed in 2010 as part of Phase 1 of the Cariboo Connector program.

Calling all coin collectorsCurrently on a global

tour, the International Coin Collectors (ICC) is visiting the Gold Pan City, May 8 – 12, at the Billy Barker Casino.

The show runs 9 a.m. – 6 p.m., Tuesday through Friday, and 9 a.m. – 4 p.m. Saturday. The ICC is purchasing coins, paper currency, gold and silver on behalf of their global network of collectors, dealers and refi neries. This event is free and open to the public.

“We hope to spend at least $250,000 while we are in town, purchasing people’s old coin collections, vintage bank notes and scrap gold and silver,” ICC spokesman Dennis Couts said.

“It’s been all over the news – gold and silver are trading

at record highs – and people everywhere are scrambling to cash in.

“We buy a lot of class rings, mismatched earrings and broken necklaces. Just a small handful of gold can add up to hundreds of dollars very quickly.

“Old coins are also very valuable. An ultra-rare 1894 S Barber dime sold for a whopping $1.9 million in 2007. We recently paid $120,000 for a coin collection in North Carolina and even $300 for a single penny in Georgia. I encourage everyone to clean out their drawers, lock boxes, jewelry boxes and bring their items to our show for a free evaluation and perhaps walk out a little rich.”

Traveling from small towns to large cities, the ICC hosts hundreds of events each year where local residents are encouraged to bring in their precious metals, old coins and paper money to earn extra cash. While meeting one-on-one with each guest, the ICC specialists review, research and evaluate the items and will make an offer to purchase all gold and silver coins made before 1965 and paper money printed prior to 1934. The amount offered depends on the silver or gold content, the collectability, the rarity and the condition of the items.

If the guest decides to accept the offer made, a check will be issued on the spot.

Quesnel conservation offi cers are reminding off-roaders to use caution during “mud-bogging” season.

As the weather improves and camping season starts to get underway, more people will head out to responsibly enjoy the forests and range lands for recreational purposes. Unfortunately,

irresponsible off-roading with ORVs, motorcycles or 4x4s, sometimes referred to as mud bogging, disrupts the ecological foundation of B.C.’s natural areas. In sensitive sites, the damage can be catastrophic.

Violation tickets for mud bogging are $575 and other penalties may include towing

or impoundment of vehicles, jail time and expenses related to habitat restoration.

The public are encouraged to report suspicious activities and environmental damage to the province’s toll-free, 24 hour Report All Poachers and Polluters – RAPP – line at 1-877-952-RAPP (7277) or from a cell phone *7277.

It is important to avoid paying up front for long-term in-vestments, such as equipment purchases or a building expansion; that will just tie up working capital. You’re better off using debt to finance these projects. Seek loans that are tied to the product life of the asset being purchased and the financial ability of the business to repay the debt. Depending on what the asset is, it may be depreciated over a period of 1 year (e.g. computer software) to 25 years (e.g. heating equipment).

COMMUNITY

Award-winning quilter, Judy Crannis, is the featured artist at the Quilters’ Guild Piece-ful Pleasures show, slated for the Mother’s Day weekend, May 12 – 13 at CNC/UNBC’s North Cariboo Community Campus in Quesnel.

The Quesnel Quilters’ Guild is a diverse group of nearly 50 members, covering all ages and abilities, who meet regularly to talk fabric and practice the art of quilting.

Small annual shows at the local gallery are augmented every three years by a major show, such as this year’s re-turn to the Quesnel campus.

As a backdrop, the concrete, glass and steel of the campus at the college/university facil-ity contrasts beautifully with the stunning hues and textures of a myriad of quilted wall art.

In addition, visitors to the

show can take in the mer-chants mall, raffl e quilt, door prizes and a visit to the tea room.

In addition, the handiwork of guild members will be displayed and celebrated, along with Judy Crannis’ quilt exhibit.

Crannis is already a distin-guished quilt make in Canada, yet this B.C. artist never ceases exploring, experiment-ing and creating with her chosen art form.

“If I’m not physically work-ing on a piece, I’m planning, visualizing or shopping for the next one,” she said.

Although quick to credit all those talented quilters who she learned from, Crannis is also an instructor herself, leading many fabric art classes in many communities around the Cariboo.

Crannis has won awards for

her quilts across Canada and continues to create her unique works.

Pieceful Pleasures features more than 100 works of art by members of the Quesnel Quilters’ Guild. From large to small the works utilize all types of patterns – paper pieces, raw edge applique, traditional quilting and some art quilts.

Some are hand quilted while others are machine or long-arm quilted, and some are embellished with applique, beads, ribbon, buttons, etc. and even more demonstrate other fascinating techniques. There’s a Viewer’s Choice ballot for visitors to vote for their favourite quilt as well.

The show runs from 10 a.m. – 5 p.m., Saturday and 10 a.m. – 4 p.m. Sunday.

About 51 seniors attended

the Seniors Care meeting at the Royal Canadian Legion branch 94 in Quesnel April 19.

Chairman Peter Nielsen thanked the Legion for providing the venue for our meetings and for everyone turning out. From the previous two meetings, Nielsen and a small committee found seniors to be very concerned about fi ve main issues here in our community. They are senior’s housing, residential and home care, hospital and health care, transportation, and driver’s licence.

Adam Schann of MLA Bob Simpson’s

offi ce spoke about the DriveAble program and is looking at circulating a petition on behalf of DriveAble to enable seniors to take the road test in communities where they live. Seniors are also concerned about the increase in fees and are hoping for a review of the examining process. As it stands now, those going through the DriveAble program must go through the Prince George government offi ce.

While seniors had an opportunity to further voice their concerns on one of the issues, it was felt that to be most effective only one issue should be tackled at a time.

Ron Paull encouraged those who are not members of either the OAPO Golden Centre or the Seniors’ Centre to do so as these numbers would give clout and legitimacy to seniors in our community. They are eagerly awaiting the results of a survey done recently by the Lions Club on what seniors feel are their most crucial needs.

There will be a Seniors Care Forum at the Legion on the morning of June 5 but the time has not been set. There will be more about this later. The next monthly meeting of Seniors Care is May 17 at 2 p.m. in the Legion. All seniors are welcome.

Beware of scamsYou’ve heard it

before but there have been very convincing letters received locally where the recipient has won a great deal of money. The only catch is they must forward a processing fee in a self addressed envelope before winnings are released. One friend in this

community recently received a total of seven such letters in one day. They originated in British Columbia, California and Florida.

From what I’ve heard from someone who had a bad experience in this regard, money is sent for the processing fee but that’s the last they hear about their prize.

The thing is the letters looks very legitimate.

If it looks too good to be true then it probably is.

The B.C. NDP has ramped up its opposition to

the proposed Northern Gateway oil pipeline.

First the party formalized objections already expressed by NDP MLAs who have spoken at hearings held by the federal review panel along the B.C. coast. Leader Adrian Dix sent an 11-page letter to the panel, then launched an attack on the B.C. Liberal government in the legislature that emphasized the letter’s top objection.

Why doesn’t Premier Christy Clark stand up to Ottawa and protest the abandonment of the long-standing “moratorium and exclusion zone” on oil tankers off B.C.’s north coast, Dix and NDP energy critic Rob Fleming demanded.

Clark’s answer was the same one given for many years by federal and provincial governments. The 1972 federal “moratorium” was directed at offshore oil drilling, not tankers bound for B.C. A separate Canada-U.S. agreement in 1998 calls for U.S. tankers to avoid B.C.’s Inside Passage as they transport Alaska crude oil to refi neries in Washington state and further south.

I asked Fleming for documentation that shows tankers are banned from B.C.’s north coast. He said it is “fragmented,” which means he doesn’t have any. Nor does the NDP’s heavily footnoted letter to the federal panel offer any source for this assertion.

This argument fl ared up in 2006 after Methanex Corp. shut down its Kitimat methanol plant. Instead of shipping methanol out, a practice that was never questioned, it started bringing tankers into the Kitimat port loaded with a liquid natural gas by-product called condensate. From there it is sent by rail to Alberta to dilute oil sands crude. This process led to Enbridge’s proposed double pipeline that would send condensate east and diluted crude west.

The Dogwood Initiative, one of the multiple U.S.-funded groups that

now dominate B.C.’s environmental lobby, rose to protest these early condensate shipments, saying they violate a moratorium on tankers. Wrong, said Don Rodden, superintendent of environmental response for the Canadian Coast Guard Pacifi c Region. The 1972 moratorium “wouldn’t apply to vessels coming into Canadian ports like Kitimat,” Rodden told the <I>Globe and Mail</I> at the time.

The Coast Guard would be the agency legally required to enforce such a tanker ban, if one existed.

As I’ve mentioned before, there are legitimate arguments against the Northern Gateway proposal. This hippy-fantasy tanker moratorium isn’t one of them.

Then there is the hypocrisy and pro-U.S. bias that is so clearly evident in the manipulated B.C. debate.

The Northern Gateway pipeline would generate as many as 350 tanker trips each year to and from Kitimat. More than twice that many tankers already sail each year through the Strait of Juan de Fuca, past the Gulf and San Juan Islands.

Many are heading to refi nery complexes at March Point and Cherry Point in Washington. These supertankers can be seen sailing past Victoria most days. Strangely, this U.S. crude traffi c excites no protests.

Some of the smaller tankers come in to fi ll up from the Trans-Mountain pipeline in Burnaby, whose operator is preparing a bid for expansion. This attracts protests organized by people paid to oppose Alberta “tar sands” oil.

Where do urban protesters think we get the gasoline and diesel fuel sold at B.C. fi lling stations? Do they think it’s all made at the little Chevron refi nery in Burnaby, the last remnant of refi ning capacity in southern B.C.?

We could use a serious debate about how B.C. handles petroleum. Instead, we see factually inaccurate claims promoted by U.S. interests to attack Canadian crude only.

Our opposition politicians and media mostly just go along for the ride.

Christian School is a great place to learn.

I recently visited the school at the open house. I was warmly greeted by two of my friends who work there. Angela showed me around and introduced me to the staff.

We peeked into each classroom and I got many smiles.

The classrooms are colourfully decorated and the smart boards are defi nitely an asset to the teachers.

The classes are all small – I would estimate an average of 20 students per level.

The children seemed interested in what they were learning and focused on their work.

The artwork on the walls is creative and appealing to the eye.

There is a modern computer lab. Angela showed me the honour board where children are recognized for academic excellence.

While I am sure that not every child is totally well-behaved all the time, I would

surmise that the majority want to learn in this school. I remember when the school was being planned and when it began in a small way at Bethel Church.

I was thrilled at the fast growth. Now they are about to take ownership of their building in Richbar and may well expand to grade 12 level in the next fi ve years, If I had school aged children, I would do all I could to get the fees necessary to enrol them in this most excellent facility.

Editor:There have been far too

many serious collisions at the intersection of Highway 97 South, Maple Drive and surrounding roads intersecting the highway.

I’m not certain who makes the decision about speed limits but it’s past time to make a change.

Obviously, the addition of lights and turning lanes has prevented some accidents but it has done nothing to slow the traffi c down to minimize the seriousness of the collisions.

The speed limit on Highway 97 South beyond the busy shopping and residential areas should have

been changed from 80 km to 60 km many years ago.

There is no need for excessive speed in one of our busiest areas of the city.

No doubt, someone has the sad statistics on the numberof accidents and the cost in fatalities, injuries and damage to vehicles.

It breaks my heart when I hear about yet another serious accident that could have been prevented or at least minimized.

Please drop the limit.Respectfully,

A. WemyssQuesnel

That harmonious balance

between water, plants and fi sh is a tricky recipe that requires patience, natural bacteria and time. You may be in short supply of one or all three.

Pond clean-up just got a little bit easier with barley straw extract.

Barley straw has been around for a long time. No one knows exactly how it works. Theories are out there on how, as the barley straw decomposes, it releases chemical compounds that prevent the growth of new algae. Others suggest the straw may release carbon which feeds the water microbe population. The microbes limit the amount of phosphorous in the water for the algae. Some say the straw produces hydrogen peroxide as it breaks

down in the presence of sunlight and oxygen.

Myself, I don’t really need to know the intimate chemical reactions. I just need to know if it’s safe for fi sh and pets and that it works. Yes, it is safe for fi sh and pets and what I hear from our customers is that it does work to prevent the growth of new algae.

When barley straw fi rst hit the market as a pond clarifi er we placed the straw loosely into net bags and anchored it so it fl oated near an aerator. This was done in the early spring and again in fall. Barley straw is not an instant fi x as it takes time for the straw to decompose and ferment which could take from 4 to 6 weeks to occur.

Now, by using the concentrated extract of the barley straw you can skip the fermentation

process. It is as easy as opening the bottle and adding it to the pond.

The best time to apply this extract is in early spring. Two applications a month to begin, then every three weeks as maintenance are required. Just simply add it to the water. Customers also say using the Microbe-Lift Spring/ Summer Cleaner, along with the barley straw has the best results. This is also a natural, non-toxic cleaner which adds natural bacteria to the water to revitalize your pond after a long winter.

She gently removes the crying baby from his mother Kristine’s lap and begins rocking nine-month-old Adrian, murmuring soothing sounds.

Within minutes, the child is asleep against her chest.Kyra Nelson is a mother herself and knows how to

comfort the tired infant.She’s 16 years old.Both women are teenage moms; Kristine is 17. They

both attend McNaughton Centre and are determined to fi nish school despite the challenges.

“I was surprised when I found out I was pregnant. I was 14,” Nelson said.

“I had no idea what I would do. I was scared of my parents’ reaction and was worried someone (anyone) would suggest abortion. I’m against it.”

She admitted the future, as a very young parent, was daunting, but she also knew she wanted to keep the baby. Jaremiah was born last summer and is now a happy eight-month-old. Right now he’s away on a family visit with Nelson’s mother and Kyra spoke sadly of how much she missed him and can’t wait to hold her son again.

Kristine Clayton said she wasn’t scared when she found out she was pregnant.

“I was kind of happy,” she said.“But I was scared of how my father would react.”Nelson said it was tough in the beginning. She was

already attending McNaughton when she found out she was pregnant and she suffered through the name-calling and condemnation of some of the students.

“But also many supported me,” she said.For Clayton, who was attending Correlieu, it was

very diffi cult.“I lost my friends and felt I had to drop out,” she said

ruefully.“I stayed home but the last two months of school, I

went back.“Everyone stared at me, but I didn’t care, I had to get

it done.”Nelson agreed. As the pregnancy went on, she said,

she had a few problems with other students.“I almost quit and my mom wanted to pull me out,”

she said.“But I want to graduate as fast as possible.”Both teen moms told stories of other students who

took great risks trying to get rid of their pregnancy.“If you do that, you’re lucky if you miscarry. Babies

can be born with serious issues because moms drank, or did worse trying, to get rid of the pregnancy,” Nelson said.

“If you really don’t want the baby, abortions aren’t that hard to get.”

Clayton went back to Correlieu in September 2011 after Adrian was born and stayed in school until February of this year, when she transferred to McNaughton.

“There wasn’t the willingness to accommodate parents,” she said.

“I was the only one with a child at the time.”Nelson came back to McNaughton just two weeks

after Jaremiah was born.

“I wanted to be back right away. I was breast feeding and trying to pump but after three months my milk dried up,” she said.

“They said my body was too young.”Clayton breast fed Adrian for about two weeks.Both say they have good support from their families,

however, neither still has a relationship with the biological fathers of their babies.

Once Clayton’s mother went back to work, Kristine began bringing Adrian to school and although parenting and classwork are tiring, she’s determined to graduate.

For Nelson, she fi nds it diffi cult to concentrate with Jaremiah away with her mother.

Kyra and Kristine are happy to have their sons and love being moms.

“I wouldn’t change it,” Nelson said.Kristine will graduate in 2013 and Kyra hopes to

graduate within the next year as well.Kyra hopes to eventually have three children and

Kristine wants one more, but not for a few years.“I need to graduate, get a job and support Adrian,”

Kristine said.Trent Heinzelman is 17 years old, a student at

McNaughton Centre and the father of Lyric, his 14-week-old son. He spoke glowingly of being there when his son was born, cutting the cord and how amazing the birth was.

Both Trent and his girlfriend Taylor Peterson were surprised by the pregnancy but determined to go through with it.

“We were nervous, but we’re a pretty good team,” he said.

Taylor is currently at home with Lyric on maternity leave and with the help of both their parents, the couple is learning to be good parents.

“I really like being a dad,” Trent said.“I want to graduate then go to Fort St. John and

begin an apprenticeship.”The new parents have already faced many challenges.

Possibly the most challenging has been growing up, leaving the partying behind and coming to terms with parenting.

“Taylor lost the grad fun stuff last year,” he said.“I feel different from other students, I’m more

dedicated to graduating and getting on with a career.”Both Taylor and Trent would like more kids but not

right now.“I would encourage other expectant fathers to do it,”

he said.“It’s your responsibility, but it’s also very rewarding.”Chelsea Hardaker is just 16 years old and expecting

her fi rst child. She said both her and the baby’s dad were surprised and somewhat shocked when they found out.

“We considered abortion but it’s not for me,” Hardaker said.

“And I couldn’t give the baby up.”She confessed, at fi rst, most of her friends fell away.“I was lonely, upset and angry but now I feel more

self-reliant,” she said.Hardaker has suffered much of the same criticism

and ridicule as Nelson and Clayton and feels it isn’t justifi ed.

“With the openness towards sex and teenagers, I don’t understand why people act like I’m a bad girl, it can happen to a lot of teens I know. Most are just as much at risk as I was,” she said.

She spends most of her time at home and has started to gather what she’ll need for the baby.

The biological dad has moved to Alberta and Hardaker is living with her mother, who is very supportive of her fi nishing her education and her impending parenthood.

“I don’t know exactly what I’ll do but I’m interested in a medical technician fi eld or maybe working with animals.”

But for now she’s attending the Pregnancy Outreach Program and McNaughton Centre.

“I never imagined being a teen mom. I fi gured it wouldn’t happen to me,” she said.

“I even tried the morning after pill but it failed. I’m nervous about being a parent.”

McNaughton principal Dennis Hawkins-Bogle said the reality is their students have children and it’s important to support the students and that means supporting the children as well.

Currently three students bring their children from time to time.

“Adrian is a bit of a regular,” he said.Having the children at school allows the parents to be

with their children throughout the day.“And whenever there’s a baby in the school the

atmosphere is calm as can be,” Hawkins-Bogle said.“Some of the other students babysit for the parents

on occasion.”He added students, when they’re with their children,

show empathy and compassion and they don’t see enough of that in the students.

“It’s a magical moment,” he said.The school teaches students realistically how to not

become parents, but Hawkins-Bogle said, “it happens.”“We teach all the safe sex things you’d expect from a

school.”“However, when a young girl comes to me and tells

me she’s pregnant, I have books to help her navigate the process. The fi rst thing we discuss, though, is what the student wants to do regarding her pregnancy.”

Hawkins-Bogle said they also offer parenting workshops.

“These students are juggling their teen years with being a parent and that just can’t be easy,” he said.

LIFESTYLES

In anticipation of the release of Stone Iris’ newest EP, the band is touring through Alberta and B.C. with a stop in Quesnel, May 16 at the Cariboo Hotel.

For the blues, rock and reggae inspired sounds of Edmonton-based Stone Iris, there’s just no replac-ing that feeling of commiseration and unity that comes from a group of friends gathered around at the stage, soaking up the night together and raising a glass to good times.

It’s exactly that kind of feeling that Stone Iris taps into on their newly recorded EP, Illuminations, which is set for release, May

15. Like a lost night in a smoky bar, its songs feel easy to slip into and even easier to get lost in, using laid-back but propulsive grooves to create a mood that feels at once nostal-gic and promising, familiar enough to let your guard down but restless enough to let you know the best times are on their way. It builds off their previous releases, 2011 twin-EPs The Boo Box and Serene Machine, the 2010 Silhouettes EP and 2008 debut Ezper-anza, by revealing a band that is at once more assured and more expansive than it’s ever been.

“We are all really

excited to be releasing the new EP Illumina-tions. The new songs really represent the direction we are tak-ing with our music and careers, it’s a great addition to our growing catalog. And as we hit the road, it is gratifying but in a different way than playing hometown Edmonton. It is cool

to hear and see new fans reaction to fresh material that can only be brought to them by our traveling circus we call Stone Iris,” drummer Jeff Burwash said.

There’s no cover charge or tickets, so just drop by the Cari-boo Hotel, May 16 and groove to Stone Iris.

The main event at last Sat-urday’s Rumble may have been the Dan (Mayhem) Mott vs. Randall Graham match but Kyle (The Motor) Tessier’s win over Anthony Aulotte was the ‘bout of the night.’

The eighth fi ght on the card, Tessier, the hometown fi ghter from Two Rivers Box-ing Club, and Aulotte, from the Beverly Bronx Boxing Club in Edmonton, Alberta, electrifi ed the crowd in the 160lbs Junior C bout.

Tessier, the surprise of the night, stole the match from the heavier, older boxer, Au-lotte, managing a 4-1 deci-sion in his favour..

“Kyle Tessier really sur-prised me because his op-ponent had a two year edge on him for age and he also had some weight on him. So Kyle pulled that one from his boots,” coach for the Two rivers Boxing Club, Wally Doern, said.

Despite the disparity be-tween the boxers, the fi ght was closely contested, rising

to a crescendo of cheering by the third.

After the fi rst round, with a consultation with Doern, Tessier came back with a re-newed plan to sneak under Aulotte’s jabs and work the body in close where Tessier’s shorter reach would be an asset.

The tactic worked for Tes-sier, but Aulotte didn’t give up. By the third round both boxers were bloodied and tired. The crowd, simmering up until the third, exploded, throwing its full support behind the hometown boy, which added fuel to Tessier’s fi re.

“You just hear snippets (of the cheering) but what you do hear, it just fuels you,” Tessier said.

The energy from the crowd added just enough fuel to get him through the bout and grind out the win.

Tessier summed up the fi ght in three words, calling it ‘tir-ing but exhilarating.’

The hard work of the two boxers and the close compe-tition, which had the crowd participating as if they were in the ring, was recognized

with the Kyle Mooney Award for the best bout of the night for the two boxers.

Kyle (Bulldozer) Black was the other winner for the Two Rivers club on the weekend.

The fi rst fi ght on the card, against Darrion Cameron from Revelstoke, B.C. in the 132lbs Jr. A class, Black took the trophy in his fi rst ever competition bout with a split, 3-2, decision in his favour.

“I’m feeling extremely well and very pumped up,” a wide-smiling Black said.

The two boxers also re-ceived the Logan Reeve Award for being the young-est boxers on the card. Both fl edging pugilists were elev-en-years old.

The main event of the night was the 165lbs Senior bout between Dan (May-hem) Mott, fi ghting out of Two Rivers Boxing Club, and Randall Graham, from the Shaolin Boxing Club in Prince George.

Though Mott had the crowd behind him for the duration of the fi ght, Gra-ham proved to be too much, taking the match in a unani-

mous 5-0 decision.Two Rivers had fi ve fi ghters

on the twelve-match card. Greg (the Punisher) Pet-sul, from Two River, lost to Mauricio Malvarez from the Beverly Bronx boxing club in a 100lbs Junior C bout on a RSC (referee stops contest) after the second round. Joey (the Mechanic) McKerrich-er faced off against Jason Weiss, from Shaolin Boxing Club, but was defeated by Weiss in a 5-0 decision.

With a two for fi ve record on the night, Doern saw room for improvement with his boxers.

“Some of the boys they did their best. There’s a little bit of room for improvement, but that’s what it’s all about. We’ll go back to the drawing board, back to the gym and we’ll be back again,” Doern said.

Six clubs made it out to the fi ght night, ranging all the way from Edmonton to Rev-elstoke.

The hall was packed for the event and Doern, one of the organizers for the event, was well pleased with the turnout.

A more controlled Crossfi re hit the box last Thursday for their second home game of the season, against the Prince George Shooter’s Pub Devils.

The team showed growth, but still fell short of beating the more experienced Devils, with a 15-4 fi -nal score in favour of the Devils.

The Crossfi re stumbled in the fi rst, letting the Devils run over them to the tune of eight points, result-ing in a fi ve point spread after 20 minutes.

After the fi rst the Crossfi re tight-ened up, halving the Devils’ ability to put the ball in behind the ‘ten-ders. The Crossfi re allowed only four points in the second and cut that to three in the third.

The defense stayed tight until the end of the game, but the offense was unable to rally, netting only one goal in the last 40 minutes of play.

James Reid managed two points for the Crossfi re, which Mitch

McLean matched while also pro-viding an assist. Alek Gibbs also had an assist on the game. Goalie Bob Mills managed 36 stops over 60 minutes.

The team has grown since its fi rst game against the Bandits. Against the Devils, the team had 21 players, which is nearly double the number of players they started out with.

“The defense is getting better. We’re getting more players. Things are looking up,” coach and team captain, Pat Gibbs, said.

Gibbs is still looking for more players, however, as many of the players are brand new to the game.

There’s a lot of room for devel-opment according to Gibbs, with plenty of brand new players on the team and some 16 year olds who already show lots of promise.

“Our 16–year–olds are looking really good,” said Gibbs

The Crossfi re head out on the road next week with a game against the Twisted Cork/Regional Security Stylers on Thursday at the Prince George Coliseum.

Aries, although you may have your mind set on one outcome, it might be good to expect the unexpected this week. Keep your eyes and ears open.

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21

Think of this week as the opportunity to rest and recharge, Taurus. Schedule a family movie night or lounge in the yard instead of packing your schedule.

Cancer, keeping secrets doesn't often turn out well be-cause sooner or later those secrets are revealed. Honesty usually is the best way to go in most situations.

Libra, it's good to go with the fl ow, but speak up for yourself from time to time, especially when something is important to you. Your opinions count, too.

The month of May is usually when allergies to pollen begin to be noticed. The beauties of spring often bring misery to those with hay fever and similar allergies. It doesn’t have to be this way. It’s diffi cult to live life by avoiding the pollens that cause the allergies. However, there are many effective medications that can control your symptoms. Our pharmacists would be happy to advise you.

It’s a good thing to include green leafy vegetables in our daily diet. One of these veggies that doesn’t get the attention it deserves is kale. It contains healthy amounts of antioxidants, omega-3 fatty acids, fi bre, potassium and vitamins A, C, E and K. If kale isn’t part of your diet, give it a try. There are some very good medications available to reduce stomach

acid and heartburn. If you fi nd yourself without your medication and have bad heartburn, you may fi nd relief from drinking a glass of water. The water will reduce the stomach acidity and bring temporary relief till you can take your medication.

It’s important to be an advocate for your own health. Be an active learner about all health matters including the drugs you take. We can help you with this information.

If you are a paddle sports enthusiast, nature lover or documentary fi lm fanatic, you’ll want to mark May 11 on your calendar.

The Blackwater Paddlers are hosting the venerable Waterwalker Film Festival with a selection of new paddling fi lms embracing an array of disciplines ranging from sea kayaking and canoe tripping to whitewater paddling,

S.U.P. (stand-up paddleboarding) and fl atwater canoeing.

Thrill to the adrenalin rush of white-knuckle kayak descents and revel in the grace and style of fl atwater canoeing.

Enjoy a kaleidescope of images and sounds while masters of the single and double blades (that’s canoe and kayak paddles) demonstrate skills honed throughout a lifetime. Shot around the world,

our screening of the Waterwalker Film Festival will have something for everyone. The Music Room at Correlieu School is booked and the show runs from 7 – 10 p.m. Tickets are $10 in advance or $12 at the door and

are available on line at www.ticketriver.com/event/3184-waterwalker-fi lm-festival or at Rocky Peak Adventure Gear, 337 Reid St. downtown. For information call 250-992-2855.
