Campfires are once again allowed throughout the Cariboo Fire Centre’s ju-risdiction. However, the burning of waste or slash piles is still prohibited.

The Cariboo Fire Centre is rescinding its campfire prohibition due to cooler and wetter conditions and a decreased wildfire risk in the region. The following activities will be allowed:

• campfires no larger than a half-metre wide by a half-metre high;

• an open fire in an out-door stove;

• fireworks, sky lanterns

and tiki torches;• the use of burning bar-

rels, burning cages and air curtain burners (forced air burning systems.)

Anyone who lights a campfire must maintain a fireguard by removing flammable debris from around the campfire site and have a hand tool (such as a shovel) or at least eight litres of water avail-able to fully extinguish it. Never leave a campfire unattended and make sure that the ashes are com-pletely cold to the touch before leaving the area for

any length of time.The public is also re-

minded to never light or keep a campfire burning in windy conditions. Re-gardless of the situation or conditions, always use caution when using fire.

Category 2 and Category 3 open fires continue to be prohibited throughout the Cariboo Fire Centre’s ju-risdictional area. The fol-lowing activities are pro-hibited:

• the burning of any waste, slash or other ma-terials;

• stubble or grass fires of

any size over any area.An infographic showing

the differences between campfires, Category 2 fires and Category 3 fires is available online at: http://bit.ly/1GlhE9l

The Cariboo Fire Centre stretches from Loon Lake near Clinton in the south to the Cottonwood River near Quesnel in the north and from Tweedsmuir Provincial Park in the west to Wells Gray Provincial Park in the east. For a map of the affected areas, visit: http://bit.ly/1MeoT5k

These prohibitions cover

all BC Parks, Crown lands and private lands, but do not apply within the boundaries of a local gov-ernment that has forest fire prevention bylaws and is serviced by a fire depart-ment. Please check with local governments for any other restrictions before lighting any fire.

Anyone found in contra-vention of an open burning prohibition may be issued a ticket for $345, required to pay an administrative penalty of $10,000 or, if convicted in court, fined up to $100,000 and/or

sentenced to one year in jail. If the contravention causes or contributes to a wildfire, the person re-sponsible may be ordered to pay all firefighting and associated costs.

To report a wildfire, abandoned campfire or open burning violation, call 1 800 663-5555 toll-free or *5555 on a cell-phone.

For up-to-date informa-tion on current wildfire activity and open burning restrictions, visit: www.bc-wildfire.ca or call 1-888- 3-FOREST.

Tolko Industries Ltd. announced that, due to continued market challenges in China, they will reduce the operating footprint of their Quest Wood lumber mill. The mill, located in Quesnel B.C., employs 224 people and currently produces 200 million board feet of product annually.

Larry Broadfoot, General Manager, Lumber, Plywood Sales and Marketing said the reduction is necessary in current market conditions.

“Lumber market prices and volume demand for our number three and economy products, particularly in China, have declined to a point where it is now

necessary to reduce the operating footprint of the mill in order to remain competitive and produce a more appropriate volume and quality for the market,” he said.

Broadfoot noted that while the reduction will have implications for customers, customer service will remain a priority.

“At Quest Wood, we will run at current capacity until mid-October when the existing � bre inventory will be consumed,” he said.

“At that point, we will be delivering a higher quality log which will reduce the volume of lumber available from Quest Wood to the market

by 100 million board feet. Despite this reduction, all product commitments to our customers will be met.”

Troy Connolly, General Manager BC Lumber, noted that employees have been informed of the decision and have been advised of next steps as the process moves ahead.

“We have a strong team at Quest Wood,” Connolly said.

“They have a great safety record and solid operational performance. Our employees are a key consideration as we move forward. Currently our HR team is working with union representatives to mitigate the impact on employees.”

Lead Now is a national or-ganization that run campaigns dedicated to promoting a transparent democracy and a fair economy. Concern about the deteriorating economy, the problems with climate change and the disappearance of Can-ada’s reputation as a peace-keeping and immigrant-based country, the Vote Together campaign, www.votetogether.

ca, is designed to work with groups across the country who want change on Oct. 19. Be-cause of the � rst-past-the-post voting system, the Conserva-tive government has had 100 per cent of the power even though they received less than 40 per cent of the vote. Vote Now’s vision is to help com-munities promote voting for the candidate most likely to

defeat the conservative can-didate regardless of the party they traditionally support.

In Quesnel, there is a meeting scheduled for today, Sept. 16 at 6 p.m. at the Occidental.

Everyone interested in learning more about the campaign is invited to come and join with others interested in working for change.

This new process will improve bill payment options for homeowners and will add efficiencies in CRD financial processes. Watch the CRD website for updates regarding when these options will be available.

SupportThe Regional District

endorsed a resolution to provide a letter of support for the Quesnel Economic Development Association’s application to the Cariboo Chilcotin Beetle Action Coalition for funding to undertake an Agricultural Feasibility study.

The study will examine opportunities such as processing facilities, canning apparatus and a test kitchen for nutritional labelling. Facility

opportunities include a food hub, a wool mill, cold storage facilities and more.

More information about the Quesnel Economic Development Corporation can be found online at quesnelinfo.com.

Mount Polley The Cariboo Regional

District Board of Directors reviewed the Mount Polley Post-Event Environmental Impact Assessment – Key Findings Report prepared by Golder Associates Limited. The report focused on The Mount Polley Mining Corporation’s approach to the restoration and remediation of the area impacted by the tailings facility breach. The full

text of the report can be viewed on the CRD website at cariboord.ca on the September 11, 2015 agenda.

Wells The Cariboo Regional

This pilot project will collect recyclables on behalf of Multi Material BC (MMBC), the stewardship agency responsible for the packaging and printed paper (PPP) program. The CRD is currently conducting a survey of Wells and area residents regarding the hours of operation for the pilot project.

The depot will be located on the ball fields in Wells and there will be 12 hours of access per week, with the hours

spread between 2 or 4 days depending on the selected schedule.

The survey is available online at cariboord.ca and is open until Sept. 15, 2015. The depot should be in place and operational by the end of September.

Based on the success level of this pilot project, similar types of depots will be considered for other rural communities in the Cariboo Chilcotin.

With Jessica Joly B.Sc. (Pharm)September is Arthritis Month Awareness in Canada. An estimated 4.6 million Canadians over the age of 15 report having the disease and by 2036, that number will increase to 7.5 million. It is not a disease that affects only the elderly. About 56% of arthritis sufferers are under 65. A new arthritis diagnosis is made every sixty seconds in Canada. For more information, go to arthritis.caBreastfeeding mothers should check with their doctor or pharmacist when taking new medications, over-the-counter or herbal products. Some products will appear in the breastmilk and could be harmful to the baby. Before you take it, talk about it.Another area of research into the use of the chemicals in marijuana is in the treatment of the common behavioural symptoms of Alzheimer’s patients. These include anxiety, depression, sleep problems, agitation and aggression. Early double-blind studies didn’t show much improvement of these symptoms perhaps due to conservative dosing but future testing will use higher doses.It’s good to live in Canada. A report released recently in the U.S. said that a half million Americans had more than $50,000 in prescription drug costs and 139,000 had costs of more than $100,000. Much of these costs were related to cancer and Hepatitis C treatments.Take charge of your own health and your family’s health. Let our pharmacists be part of your healthcare team.

For the past 39 years, Doris and Lewis Stanick have lived on Dragon Lake in Quesnel without every seeing even one otter. Imagine their sur-prise to find not one but five rascals eating fish and frolicking on their dock and their neigh-bour’s boat.

Time to double down on diversification

The news was a blow, there’s no doubting that. It hit employees, contractors and small businesses hard. But I also know it was not a knock-out punch, that Quesnel will rally together and take on the challenge to get back up and continue to thrive.

Quesnel has been through tough times before and we understand how important our community is to us. We know this will take hard work - something I know our government and our community are willing to do.

On Monday, I met with Tolko officials to discuss how we can work together, as we have in the past when we worked with the company and approved a joint venture between Nazko First Nation, Pacific Bio-Energy and Tolko to extend a nonrenewable forest license that would see poor quality mountain pine beetle-killed timber converted into pulp chips and biomass fibre.

And as your MLA, I have reached out across ministries with my cabinet colleagues and will be accessing provincial resources to coordinate support for impacted workers working with Tolko, local government, the union and other government agencies like WorkBC.

As well, I understand that Tolko is working to find alternate employment for the affected employees.

I have had regular discussions with Forest Minister Steve Thomson on ways to ensure economic stability in the area. This underscores the need to look at other options, building on what we’ve done to date, such as:

• innovative timber sale licences which allows for more efficient harvesting and reforesting of beetle-attacked timber

• increased funding through the Forests for Tomorrow program to plant 10 million trees and reforest 100,000 hectares each year in the Cariboo alone.

• supplemental forest licences to increase utilization of residual fibre by pellet plants (including Pinnacle Pellet) and local pulp and paper mills.

I will also be ensuring that my own Ministry of Small Business will work with the small business owners and contractors affected. I have reached out to agencies such as Northern Development Initiative Trust, Community Futures and other economic development agencies.

We all know too well that our area has been heavily impacted by the mountain pine beetle infestation. When the infestation first took hold, as a city councillor and manager of the Chamber of Commerce at the time, I was part of a team that implemented a Business Resource Team that consisted of the City, Economic Development, Community Futures, the Chamber, the College and UNBC, WorkBC and Continuing Education amongst many other community organizations such as the Business Improvement Areas.

We focused on our competitive advantage and looked at ways to diversify our economy and look at job creation by supporting existing small businesses.

Now we roll-up our sleeves – all of us together – and double down on economic development initiatives that focus on job creation and economic diversification in our region.

A third of people caring for a frail senior at home are in distress, and yet some provincial supports such as adult day programs remain under-used, according to a new report from B.C.’s Seniors Advocate.

A survey of health assessments for 30,000 B.C. seniors found that the majority of those who report fatigue and other stresses from caring for a relative or friend aren’t using provincial programs.

B.C. offers three kinds of respite services, adult day programs, respite beds in care facilities that offer care for up to 30 days at a time, and home support visits from care aides.

Seniors Advocate Isobel Mackenzie said availability of programs is better in urban areas than rural ones, but in general B.C. offers less respite care than Alberta and has more unpaid caregivers reporting distress.

Mackenzie says increasing availability for adult day programs could reduce emergency visits from complex home care patients by a third, and hospital admissions by half, detecting medication or other health problems before they produce a hospital visit.

One puzzling result from the survey is that while there are waiting lists for adult day programs in B.C., one out of four spaces is empty each day. Mackenzie said there may be logistical problems with home care patients, such as a need to attend medical appointments at the same time as the day program is

offered.Mackenzie

isn’t suggesting government-paid substitutes can replace volunteer caregivers, most of whom are spouses or other relatives, but says they should have more opportunities to take a break.

“Caregivers do it all,” she said. “Sometimes it is is simple as driving mum to the doctor’s office. Other times it is as complicated as insulin injections or changing catheter bags.

“Sometimes it is dropping in on mum and dad at the end of the work day and other times it is living with your wife of 65-plus years as she surrenders to the ravages of dementia, does not know who you are, cannot be left alone and must be fed and toileted.”

Health Minister Terry Lake said the province has increased investments in home health services over the past 10 years, and is working with health authorities to shift from hospital to home-care as the population ages.

Mackenzie said the number of adult day program clients and days utilized has declined in the last three years, and the number of respite beds at care facilities also appears to be down.

The survey found that only half of the clients registered for home support reported receiving a home visit in the previous seven days.

The report and other services are available at the Seniors Advocate website, www.seniorsadvocatebc.ca.

B.C. cabinet ministers and 500 aboriginal leaders emerged from two days of meetings in Vancouver Thursday with a pledge to work on divisive resource development issues and hold a province-wide forum on aboriginal children in government care.

Premier Christy Clark also announced the establishment of a $2 million fund for scholarships for aboriginal students pursuing post-graduate degrees and a new set of awards for aboriginal youth athletic achievement.

Surrey-White Rock MLA Gordon Hogg was appointed parliamentary secretary in charge of developing the sports awards.

A framework document agreed to at the meeting commits the province and First Nations Leadership Council members to keep working on a reconciliation

agreement that would settle historic land claims across the province. Clark said the agreement would have to include provisions for the unique aspects of more than 200 First Nations.

Grand Chief Ed John of the First Nations Summit said the first two years of these province-wide meetings have gotten off to a rocky start, but expressed the

hope that “by year 10 we’ll have paved the road.”

In his closing speech, John reflected on his own time at a residential school, and described a new generation of young people that is emerging from the social upheaval of that policy.

“I couldn’t even see my sister on the other side of the building, even though she was in the same

residential school as I was,” John said.

“That disconnect became the norm for us.”

Chief Shane Gottfriedson, regional representative of the Assembly of First Nations, echoed John’s call for a resolution to land issues that started in 1859 when colonial Governor James Douglas proclaimed that all lands and

resources in B.C. belong to Crown.

Chief Robert Chamberlin, vice president of the Union of B.C. Indian Chiefs, said last year’s landmark land title decision in favour of the Tsilhqot’in Nation means action is required to address territorial claims.

It is the Canadian law that First Nations want to see implemented,” he said.

Progress needed

There will be those in the non-native community alarmed to read that some

First Nations “are prepared to take direct action to protect our traditional lands from ongoing exploitation without our consent.”That action, if it occurs,

could range from roadblocks to international lobbying and advertising, but it’s all related to the ongoing frustration that the issue of titles and rights remains unresolved.“It’s the same song and dance and

nothing has changed,” said Wayne Christian, Splatsin chief.Unemployment remains high in

many First Nations communities as does poverty, and it’s partially related to a lack of access to natural resources and out-dated, patriarchal federal legislation.After meetings between B.C.’s

native leaders and the provincial government last week, there will be attempts to establish a reconciliation agreement that resolves land claims and resource development.Byron Louis, Okanagan Indian

Band chief, is trying to remain optimistic about the process.“There’s an understanding that

the status quo is unacceptable,” he said.“The province recognizes that and

First Nations recognize that but it’s a case of overcoming years of misunderstanding.”Louis is right when he says that

the future to reconciliation is linked to First Nations communities developing economically and the spin-off benefit for surrounding regions and the province.We would encourage all local

residents to contact their MLAs and band councils to actively remain at the table and to look towards a future of co-operation and mutual respect.–BP

“I am tired of managing poverty.”

The words of Lake Babine Nation Chief Wilf Adam were quoted by both Ab-original Relations Minister John Rustad and Premier Christy Clark at their second annual meeting with aboriginal leaders around the province.

In her closing remarks, Clark repeated her aim to continue economic de-velopment and resource revenue sharing that have dominated the government’s approach in recent years.

“Let’s eliminate poverty in First Nations communities,” she said, adding “the only way we can fight poverty is to grow the economy.”

Not surprisingly, Clark’s chosen example was the potential of liquefied natu-ral gas development for the Haisla Nation near Kitimat.

That and similar proposals require new gas pipelines. And as is customary in B.C., what people most often hear about are threats and wild claims regarding pro-tests such as the Unist’ot’en camp near Smithers, set up to block a gas pipeline.

There was a round of this in late August, after Grand Chief Stewart Phillip of the militant Union of B.C. Indian Chiefs claimed

hundreds of RCMP officers were about to descend on the camp.

This echoed previous false claims made by self-styled anarchists such as Victoria’s Zoe Blunt, who has been or-ganizing outside support for the camp for the last couple of years.

Media jumped at the pros-pect of another Gustafson Lake-style confrontation. This prompted an unusual statement from Cpl. Janelle Shoihet of the North Dis-trict RCMP.

“To clarify, the B.C. RCMP has no intention of ‘taking down the camp’ set up by the Unist’ot’en,” she said, emphasizing that po-lice are not taking sides or acting as security for pipe-line exploration crews being harassed by protesters, who have token support from a couple of dissident members of a Wet’suwet’en clan.

Four elected chiefs of the

Wet’suwet’en issued their own statement, to correct media coverage that rep-resents the Unist’ot’en as speaking for their communi-ties.

“Our Nations support responsible resource devel-opment as a way to bring First Nations out of poverty and bring opportunities for our young people,” said Burns Lake Band Chief Dan George.

Wet’suwet’en First Na-tion Chief Karen Ogen said job and benefit agreements for the Coastal GasLink pipeline were entered into after careful consideration, and she objected to protests from outsiders, some from outside the country.

“Sustainability means standing on our own two feet, providing our young people with good paying jobs, and reducing the 40 to 60 per cent unemployment we now experience,” Ogen said.

Haisla Nation Chief Councillor Ellis Ross has no time for crude oil projects, but he has been working towards gas-related devel-opment as long as anyone.

Ross spoke out in support of the elected Wet’suwet’en chiefs in their efforts to resolve the dispute with Unist’ot’en members.

“Opposition is the easiest job in the world,” he said.

“What is difficult is finding an answer when a First Nations mother has concerns about her child’s future.

“Politicians are quick to shout out sound bites and get into camera shots, but where are the cameras when another First Nations mem-ber takes their own life or when they pass away from highway/alcohol related deaths?”

Ross noted that recent court decisions have put B.C. aboriginal leaders in the best position they have ever had, with governments and development project proponents coming to them “with inclusion in mind” after decades of resource de-velopment that has passed them by.

You wouldn’t know it most days, but First Na-tions along both the Coastal GasLink and Pacific Trails gas pipelines have agreed to them.

More aboriginal leaders are getting tired of manag-ing poverty, and misguided protesters.

Editor:Stephen Harper must

go! We can on longer be proud Canadians. The damage Stephen Harper has done to the reputation of Canada as environmentally responsible and as a world peacekeeper is reprehensible.

The economy is in shambles because of his pro-oil and single industry policies.

Because of our broken first-past-the-post voting system, Stephen Harper has been able to get 100

per cent of the power with 38 per cent of the vote.

Lead Now is an independent organization that promotes democracy. It is organizing a nation wide Vote Together campaign.

This campaign is working to identify the candidate in each riding who is most likely to defeat the Conservatives.

I am encouraging people to go on-line to pledge to Vote Together.

If we get 500 or more pledges in this riding,

Lead Now will crowd fund to conduct a poll to identify the strongest opposition candidate.

We have six good candidates running in the Prince George Cariboo riding.

The Conservative candidate could win with just 17 per cent of the vote.

At least two of the parties in opposition have vowed to change the first-past-the-post voting system to a representative system that would result in a more equitable

distribution of power. Then we will be able to get back on track to build a green economy, do our part for climate change and make the world a better place to live for everyone.

It is very important for all of us to vote. Historically, many First Nations and young people have not voted. These groups comprise a substantial percentage of our population.

We should be encouraging all citizens to become educated about

the importance of this election.

I believe that the winning candidate will not win by a huge margin and therefore, regardless of our favourite party, it is important that as many of us as possible vote strategically for

the candidate mostly like to defeat the conservatives. Please log on to Leadnow.ca and pledge to Vote Together; the web address is http://www.votetogether.ca/riding/59004/caribooprince-george/. Then forward it to all your friends on Facebook and Twitter.

Lets join the movement that is sweeping the nation and put Stephen Harper to rest.

The message of Take Back the Night has nev-er been more poignant

in Quesnel than this year as the community prepares to add two more names to the list of 11 murdered and missing women.

Sandra Boyd and Ehr An-derson both met with violent deaths at the hands of someone else.

The Women’s Resource Centre (WRC), which has always been a strong advocate of empower-ing women, is again leading Take Back the Night, Sept. 18 at the Missing and Murdered Women’s Memorial at 6:30 p.m. followed by a march through town back to the WRC.

Alice Stoddard, who is re-searching missing and murdered Quesnel women said the 11 names on the memorial do not represent all the women who’ve gone missing or been murdered from this community.

“There are almost a dozen more wom-en who aren’t listed on the memorial but are still missing or murdered,” she said.

“This could be for a variety of reasons, not the least being the families don’t

want their loved one’s name or informa-tion released.”

WRC administrative coordinator Sheila Norquay said their needs to be a societal shift where men form respectful relation-ships with women and don’t rely on a

damaged upbringing, or distorted views of women to dictate their behaviour.

“Men must take a leadership role in changing how other men view women and thus treat women,” Norquay said.

One of the programs delivered to the

high school classes, Grade 8 – 12, by WRC is called Respectful Relations. The 12-workshop/class program targets all youth and encourages respectful rela-tionships.

They also deliver a program called Making Connections, a 16-week program for women which views life through the trauma-informed lens. This program deals with the fallout from trauma.

WRC offers Stopping the Violence counselling, outreach with clients and other sup-port programs for improving women’s lifestyle and outlook on their life.

Take Back the Night has its early roots in Europe in 1976 as a response to an alarming increase in sexual assaults. In 1977, other marches followed in West Germany and England where women demanded the right to move freely in their communities without violence.

In Canada, the � rst march known as Reclaim the Night was held in 1978 in Vancouver.

This event was organized by the Fly By Night Collective. All the marches have the common themes of awareness and accountability.

Two names set to be added to the Missing and Murdered Women’s Memorial

Annual General MeetingSeptember 23 - 7:00 pm

The Common Room - Memberships available451 Front Street

With only four more Saturdays remaining, the Quesnel Farmers’ Market would like to say a special thank you to all the community for the strong show of support this season.

The annual Customer Appreciation Day is set for this Saturday, Sept. 19 and is catered by Dawn Moorhead, who is also a regular vendor at the Market.

Dawn will prepare a sampling of local salads, along with corn on the cob, followed by a special dessert. This will get underway around 11 a.m.

The Quesnel market on Customer Appreciation Day will feature singer/songwriter Joey Only, who has been a popular entertainer in past years. Joey’s performance will start around 10:30 a.m.

The market is pleased to welcome several new produce vendors this year. According to Rob Borsato, Farmers’ Market president, this is all very encouraging.

“Our Board of Directors has flagged the need for more agricultural vendors for some years now and we hope that customers will support these new ventures”, Borsato said.

“Only by cultivating new growers will we be able to maintain a solid market when other farmers retire.”

Produce at the market is at its flushest now, with a

blend of late summer veggies like green beans and tomatoes, in combination with the fall favourites of carrots, garlic, corn and onions.

It is also time for customers to order their winter supplies of beets, potatoes, onions, carrots, squash and such.

At Saturday’s market you will be able to find a really broad selection of

ready-to-eat foods. These include bannock, tacos, gyros, perogies, llama burgers and some really delectable appetizers.

The market is open every Saturday through Oct. 10 (Thanksgiving weekend), located at the Helen Dixon Site on the corner of Kinchant and Carson Streets, from 8:30 a.m. – 1 p.m.

Market set to appreciate their customers this Saturday

BCRA Championship wraps up season

The 2015 BCRA season concluded this week-end Sept. 11-13 with the finals being held at Alex Fraser Park in Quesnel. The best cowboys and cowgirls from B.C. competed to crown the top riders in their sport. It was an action packed weekend for fans. The action kicked off at 6 p.m. Friday and was dedicated to breast cancer awareness and was called, Tough Enough to Wear Pink. Saturday was dedicated to the Salvation Army of Quesnel and Sunday was dedicated to Communities For Veter-ans- Ride Across Canada. Steve Hohmann of Quesnel was the iron man in the competition as he participated in four events, more than any rider. He competed in bull riding, steer wrestling, saddle bronc and bareback riding.

Golf for Kids Sake tournament a successRYAN GRAHAM

Observer Reporter

The Big Brothers Big Sisters Golf for Kids Sake tourna-ment took place this past weekend Sept.13 at Richbar Golf and Gardens in Quesnel. The tournament’s purpose was to bring awareness about the Big Brothers Big Sisters organization. Golfers who participated in the tourna-ment donated $75 and got a tax receipt for $50 and $25 went for their chicken or steak dinner and green fees. The tournament saw them raise $6,100.

“Every penny that we raise here today will stay in Ques-nel and help the children that we serve,” Executive Director Michelle Riley said.

Last year Big Brothers Big Sisters served 119 children. They have a variety of pro-grams.

“We offer four programs,” Riley said. “All of the pro-grams are offered at no cost for any child or family in our community.”

The programs include: Tra-ditional one-on-one, team and community in school mentor-ing, go girls game on and the big bunch. They try to do fun event with the kids every other month, which can include swimming, bowling, cross-country skiing, or going to the mov-ies. The golf tour-nament and other events allow them to

provide events to the children. “Theses types of events help

us pay for those programs for the kids,” Riley said.

In April they host the Bowl for Kids Sake another fun-draising event. More infor-mation is available at their website http://www.bigbroth-ersbigsistersofquesnel.ca/en/Home/default.aspx.

The National Hockey League is about to start, as teams begin their training camps this week.

This provides teams an opportunity to evaluate their players and see the improve-ments they have made. The Vancou-ver Canucks start their training camp Sept. 18-20 in Prince George. This is the first time they have held their camp in northern B.C. The on-ice practice ses-sions will take place at the CN Centre, which is where the Prince George Cou-gars of the Western Hockey League play. You can still pur-chase a day pass for any of the three days. The pass provides

access to on-ice ses-sions, which runs from 9 a.m. - 1:30 p.m. All proceeds from the camp go to the Canucks For Kids Fund, which supports minor hockey development in the Prince George area.Friday and Sat-urday the Canucks will be split into two groups, the first group starts at 9 a.m. and second at 11:20 a.m. Sunday at 9:45 a.m. will see the Ca-nucks work on their power play, which is mostly veterans. An intra-squad game will follow at 11:20 a.m. with mostly prospects. There will be events through-out the three days, including a Canucks Town Hall Breakfast, Party in the Parking Lot and a coaches clinic. Trevor Lin-den, President of

Hockey Operations and General Manger Jim Benning will be discussing the up-coming season at the Civic Centre from 7:30 a.m. - 9 a.m. on Friday Sept. 18. Tick-ets can be purchased online for $25. There will also be a free joint coaching clinic by members of the Prince George Cougars coaching staff and the assis-tant coaches of the Canucks. The topics include goaltending, diet and nutrition, making the most of practice time and de-veloping as a player.

It will be held on Saturday Sept. 19 at 3 pm at the KIN 1 Lounge and is avail-able to minor hockey coaches, parents and players. The Party in the Parking Lot event, includes food, entertainment and

activities with music going on throughout the day. Saturday Sept. 19 will see the bulk of the events with a pancake breakfast and a special Kids Only press con-ference after the final on-ice session. Vancouver finished last season in fifth place in the western conference with 48 wins and 29 losses for 101 points. The playoffs saw them go up against the Calgary Flames in the first round where they were defeated 4-2 in the series.

If you are in the Prince George area come out and see the Canucks, and their prospects who could be wearing the Vancouver jersey this season.

It’s fall. There’s no deny-ing it. Though we have to say goodbye to a beautiful summer, the upside is that fall means roller derby.

The Gold Pain City Derby Girls are holding Fresh Meat Training beginning with two free ‘try it’ nights – Tuesday, Sept. 22, 7 – 9 p.m. at the QJS upper gym and Thursday, Sept. 24 7 – 9 p.m. at Ecole Baker gym.

These are the two nights the team invites all interested adult women (18 years and older) to come out, meet some of the team, lace up and give it a try. The ladies will take participants through a few skills and skating techniques to give them a feel for the training. There is spare gear made available for both nights

in a variety of sizes, but those interested in coming out should bring their own mouth guards (be sure to follow the instructions to mold them to the proper shape and size before attending or you will not be allowed to lace up). Registration will also be taken on these two nights for those who already know they want to train.

As always, the team is look-ing forward to the 2015/2016 season of training and bouting and though there is a coach in place for Fresh Meat, the team needs a new regular season coach. After several years as coach, Reani Rink Rash (yes, that’s me) has stepped down as coach to focus on being a skater and has consequently opened the way for someone

else to take on the leader-ship of this fabulous group of women. If you are interested in finding out more, or filling out an application, email Sugar Rai (Raielle Perry, train-ing committee chairperson) at: [email protected] or visit us on Facebook for information on Fresh Meat Training, the coming season, gear, fees and coaching appli-cation: https://www.facebook.com/goldpaincity

No matter what the size of your estate, every adult should have a will. Without one, you risk leaving the distribution decisions to an impersonal formula, with the government writing the terms.

A valid will ensures that your property will be dealt with according to your wishes and with a minimum of complications and expense for your estate. Without a will, your spouse may not receive as much as you would wish, your heirs will receive fixed percentages, regardless of their needs, and a court appointed administrator will handle your affairs. In making a will, it is important to give careful thought to what per-sons, needs or organizations you would like to benefit. It is best to consult a lawyer or notary to ensure your will is properly drawn up. This is much less expensive than most people imagine.

Here are 10 reasons for drafting a will:

1. It’s your property: A will guarantees that your assets

will be distributed according to your wishes.

2. Children/Grandchildren: A will provides for the care of any children who are minors, enabling you to choose a guardian. Should both parents die, it assures the children do not become a ward of the Court.

3. Speedy settlement of af-fairs: Without a will, lengthy court delays could create undue hardship for your fam-ily.

4. Estate planning: When skillfully drafted, a will allows you to incorporate tax-saving measures and avoid unnecessary taxes, resulting in increased funds for your beneficiaries.

5. Simplified distribution of your estate: By providing a blueprint and a list of direc-tions, families will not have to guess about what you wanted.

6. Peace of mind: A certain peace of mind comes from knowing that you’ve drafted a will that sets out your true intentions.

7. Questions of capacity: If

a person loses mental capac-ity, it’s not legally possible to write a will.

8. Supporting your favourite causes: A will assures that you can continue to help organi-zations you have believed in during your lifetime, such as a health, education or sports charity, or a human rights organization like Amnesty International.

9. Relieving any burden on your family: Reviewing the contents and nature of your estate and making known your decisions ahead of time for its disposition makes it easier on other family mem-bers.

10. Ability to be creative: There are relatively few rules that limit a testator’s (person who writes a will) ability to make creative, thoughtful dispositions of property.

Writing a will keeps your wishes in control

Moving can be a real headache. For one, it requires a lot of planning: finding a mover, sorting your personal belongings and coordinating the timing of the move. Then, there is the constant worry of whether your belongings are safe as they get packed away, loaded up and moved to your new home.

A lot can go wrong during a move, but by follow-ing some simple tips, you can minimize the worry and avoid mishaps.

Choose your mover wisely. Choosing a mover based on price alone is a big mistake. You want someone you can trust with all of your personal belongings. Be diligent: ask around for recommendations from friends or family and look for accreditation with the Better Business Bureau.

Sort out your insurance needs. James Hall, an insur-ance expert with Western Financial Group, suggests you contact your broker at least a couple of weeks in advance to discuss your insurance needs. Contacting your broker ahead of time will ensure your items are protected during transport and that you have cover-age in place for your new home the moment you take

possession.A broker can identify whether your existing policy

covers the contents of your home while they are in transit or if you should consider purchasing additional insurance from the moving company. “Just remember that not all moving companies offer insurance with full replacement protection,” Hall says. “That means you will only get a certain percentage of the value of your possessions should they be damaged during the move.”

Start packing early. Getting organized ahead of time will save you a lot of hassle come moving day. If you decide to pack boxes yourself, start with items that you don’t often use. It’s also a good idea to build an inventory of boxes and other loose items or furniture to make sure that everything transported by the mover arrives. Once boxes are full, be sure to label the outside with its contents, indicate whether they are fragile and write which room the box should be placed in at the new location.

Make arrangements at the new home. Depending on the type of residence you are moving to, you may need to arrange parking for the moving truck.

If you are moving to an apartment, notify your land-lord of the expected arrival time of the moving truck and book the elevator in the apartment building.

Keep valuables close. Family heirlooms, important documents, jewelry, laptop computers and other expen-sive items should stay under your watchful eye.

Rather than packing them into a box with other contents, keep them with you in the vehicle you will be travelling in.

Double check all spaces. Once the moving truck is ready to roll, do a thorough walk-through of your old residence to ensure nothing has been missed.

Check drawers, closets, crawl spaces and any other concealed spaces.

For more information on how to insure your personal property for an upcoming move, visit www.westernfi-nancialgroup.ca.

RecipesEver wonder what the dif-

ference is between a cappuc-cino and a macchiato? Ever feel confused when looking at all the coffee varieties and fancy names? There’s no doubt coffee has evolved over the years: it’s no longer just with or without sugar, milk or cream. It remains the most popular beverage in the country (after tap water) and is consumed by 65 percent of Canadians each day accord-ing to the Coffee Association of Canada.

While mornings are still the time of day most people drink coffee (25 per cent), a grow-ing number of coffee addicts are enjoying it after-lunch and afternoons and there are now even cocktails made with cof-fee. So before you start per-sonalizing your own coffee, it would be useful to learn a thing or two about the different types of coffee.

Here’s your survival guide from the experts at Van Houtte to make it in the coffee world:

• Americano: A classic Ameri-cano is prepared with two shots of espresso and about 12 ounc-

es of water. Simple and tasty.• Cappuccino: Rich coffee,

warm milk, creamy mousse. Simple yet intense. Perfect to wake you up.

• Caramel Macchiato: The name says it all: a perfect mix of coffee, with a taste of buttery caramel. A great way to feel like a kid in a candy store again.

• Espresso: Espresso was originally conceived as a faster way of making coffee, hence the name “espresso”, meaning “ex-press” in Italian.

This was done by forcing hot water through a � nely ground blend of coffee at high pressure resulting in faster extraction.

The result: a rich beverage that is thicker than regular cof-fee, with a delicious crema on top.

• Mocaccino: Coffee and chocolate mixed together. Two great tastes brilliantly united.

Not sure whether to have hot chocolate or coffee? This one’s for you.

• Vanilla Latte: Rich coffee with a hint of vanilla. Tastes as good as it smells.

Coffee decoded: a quick guide to specialty coffees

What’s not to love about Italian food? It’s really no surprise it’s often listed in the top favourite cuisines of our friends and families alike. Italy produces succulent cured meats, mouth-watering cheese varieties and olive oil so rich and � avourful you’ll savour every drop.

It’s also a food category full of imitators.The Italian Trade Commission shared the

top tips for identifying real Italian products from its Italian-sounding competitors. Here are some tips to help identify authentic Ital-ian cured meats, cheeses and olive oil:

Cured Meats: Prosciutto is one of the most popular and beloved choices – whether as part of a charcuterie board or sandwich. Authentic Italian prosciutto is made from hogs raised in select areas of central-northern Italy that are given special diets. You’ll know you have the right stuff if you see the word “Original” on the package and the prosciutto leg is marked with the Ducal Crown. Mortadella is another familiar cold cut enjoyed by many Canadians. It might look like baloney, but that’s actually American. The Italian version is Mortadella Bologna and comes from the region with the same namesake.

Cheeses: Whether enjoyed in a salad, pasta or dip, Asiago is a popular gourmet cheese enjoyed by many.

Often imitated, this rich cheese is made from the milk of cows that are pastured between the mountainous regions of Veneto and Trentino Alto Adige. To � nd the real thing, look for the word Asiago, which should be pressed into the rind of the cheese. The wheel is also branded with the Asiago consortium seal and the term Prodotto Della Montagna (product of the Mountain). Another common sheep’s cheese is Romano. This hard

cheese is rooted in history and more than 2,000 years old. The Italian version is known as Pecorino Romano and has a pale ivory colour and aromatic, tangy � avour

Olive Oil: Italy’s climate, which is ideal for the olive trees, alongside centuries of crafts-manship, makes it no surprise that Italian-made olive oil is considered the best in the world. With so many imitations out there, reading the labels is especially important. Avoid bottles that say “packed in Italy” as they can contain olive oil from other Euro-pean countries. Instead look for a bottle that says “product of Italy.” Depending on your taste buds, you may want to also consider which region it was crafted in, as � avours can vary. For bolder oil go south, and for softer � avours go for a blend from central Italy.

Aside from looking for the region of pro-duction, authentic Italian-made products have designations that ensure their quality

and craftsmanship. If you’re uncertain next time you’re shopping, keep an eye out for one of the following: Denominazione di Origine Protetta (DOP), Indicazione Geogra� ca Protetta (IGP) and Traditional Specialty Guarantee (TSG). Check out www.italianmade.com for more information and shopping tips.
