The Canada Games are coming to Prince George in 2015 and plan-ning is already underway to make sure the region impresses athletes from across the nation.
The board chair, Anthony Ever-ett, and director of marketing and communications, Mike David pre-sented their plans for the event to Quesnel city and council, June 17.
“The Canada Games came out of the Unity Project in 1967,” Everett said.
“They are about inspiring dreams and building champions.”
Everett explained the Canada games are held in various Cana-dian cities every two years, similar to the Olympics.
Everett said he believes many people are confused as to what exactly the Canada Games are, thinking the B.C. Games are com-ing to the region.
“This is Canada’s largest multi-sport event,” he said.
“We have fabulous B.C. Games but this is a true Canadian institu-tion.
“Canada will be coming here in 2015.
“It is a very big event.”Everett made a point of telling the
mayor and council that although these games aren’t the Olympics, they certainly are a stepping stone.
“This is the pathway for athletes going to the Olympics,” he said.
“There are more than 800 com-munities represented at our games.”
Naming past competitors such as Sidney Crosby and Catriona Le May Doan, Everett explained Ca-nadian athletes benefit from these games and go on to become suc-cessful in sports or otherwise.
The Canada Games, which include 19 official sports, will bring
about 3,500 athletes, judges and staff to the area.
“The economic impact is going to be between $70 and $80 million,” Everett said, adding that “there will be 100 media from across the country.
“We expect 15,000 people to our area, I’m sure some of them will end up staying in Quesnel.”
A big part of making sure the games go according to plan is hav-ing enough volunteers.
“We expect that we’re going to need about 3,500 volunteers,” Ev-erett said.
“There are already people from Quesnel signed up to volunteer at the games.
“It is a big commitment in time, but we know people are eager to do that.”
Everett highlighted the need for bilingual volunteers and that vol-unteers must be 15-years old or older and must pass a criminal re-cord check.
“There will be a lot of opportuni-ties and we want everyone involved so we can represent our area of our province to the rest of Canada.”
Everett said he’s hoping to have a lively atmosphere during the games.
“We have opening and closing ceremonies, medal ceremonies, nightly cultural activities and en-tertainment,” he added.
“Never in our history have we had the rest of the nation in our area.
“We’re hoping to have a festival-like atmosphere.”
He went on to say with athletes ranging from 12 to 35 years old, the lively atmosphere won’t be dif-ficult to achieve.
The games open Feb. 13, 2015 and close March 1, 2015.

Canada Day
Scorching hot weather didn’t keep the crowds away from Quesnel’s Canada Celebra-tions in LeBourdais Park, Monday. It was entertainment, food, fun and of course the very well-used water slide which kept those attending the event in good spirits. For more photos see PAGE A3.Autumn MacDonald photo

GR Baker looks at $150M projectsMargaret Sadlon,
Health Service Ad-ministrator Quesnel, and Michael McMil-lan, Chief Operating Officer Northern Inte-rior, from Northern Health presented an overview of the GR Baker master plan to the Cariboo Chilcotin Regional Hospital District Board of Directors.
Highlights of the presentation included information about the scope of the project, goals and growth strategy, planning criteria and an over-view of the master plan planning team and their roles in the project.
Two separate op-tions where featured; one being a rebuild of the current facility while option B would be for a new structure on the existing site. Both projects are esti-mated to be valued at $150M.
Further informa-tion about Northern Health is available online at northern-health.ca.
CaribooMemorial
Norma Malanovich, Chief Project Officer; Deb Runge, Director of Acute Care Servic-es Cariboo; and Peter Du Toit, Acute Care Director Thompson-Cariboo-Shuswap region from Interior Health presented in-formation about the Cariboo Memorial Hospital master site plan.
The next steps were outlined which include the request for proposals, capital and operating cost estimates, concept plan developments followed by submis-sion of the concept plan to the Ministry of Health. The ap-proximate cost of this project is in the vicinity of $110M. More information about Interior Health is available online at interiorhealth.ca.
Contract granted The Cariboo Re-
gional District Board agreed to extend the
contracting services of the Williams Lake As-sociation for Commu-nity Living (WLACL) to March 31, 2014.
In March of 2013, the board entered into a contract with the association for a three month trial period to maintain the share shed and recycling area at the Central Cariboo Transfer Station.
Based on the success of this three month trial period, staff recommended the contract be extended, as the share shed and recycling area have been well maintained, and the program has been well received by users and WLACL employees.
The program em-ploys developmentally challenged individuals to perform share shed duties, which involves regulating the activi-ties of patrons in the type/condition of materials acceptable, directing reusable and waste items to desig-nated areas, sorting and removing items and transporting
industry stewardship products to industry depots in Williams Lake. Further infor-mation about WLA-CL is available online at wlacl.org.
Transfer StationThe CRD’s solid
waste pilot project at Lac La Hache has been successful at reducing greenhouse gas emissions while also reducing the cost of operations at the same time.
rom Jan. to May, 2012 the site was serviced 239 times as compared to only 46 times for the same time period in 2013
since moving to com-paction processes.
For a five month period, by compact-ing waste prior to shipping, 193 truck hauling trips have been avoided sav-ing 5,790 litres of diesel fuel from being burned and reducing costs by $25,321. Reduced emissions and operational sav-ings will continue to grow as other CRD sites are converted to compaction opera-tions.
Wear pinkThe CRD staff and
directors dressed up in their finest western
wear and pink in sup-port of the Williams Lake Stampede Tough Enough to Wear Pink campaign. So far, the staff and direc-tors have raised just over $560 which will be presented to the Stampede Association during this Sunday’s rodeo performance. Visit williamslake-stampede.com for further event informa-tion.
ConnectivityBert Braybook and
Brian Mason from Telus, provided the Board with an update on cell phone service within the Cariboo
Chilcotin.The presentation
included an overview on a total invest-ment of $4.5M in the Cariboo over the past year. Upgrades in the coming months will include improved coverage in 150 Mile House, 100 Mile House, and the Lac La Hache corridor.
New sites for wire-less areas which will be addressed in 2014 include the 108 Mile area and McLeese Lake and increased capacity and fibre optics in other areas in the region along Highway 97.
ClarificationAny potential reductions regarding the Multi Centre (Observer, June
28) were rejected by the North Cariboo Joint Planning Committee.

Record-breaking heat no match for Canada Day celebrants
Multi-cultural food, fun and entertainment
Temperatures soared and so did the spirits of the Canada Day
participants in LeBourdais Park, Monday. Cold drinks, water slid-
ing, umbrellas, hats and seeking shade helped cool off the crowd for the annual celebration, this being Canada’s 146th birthday.

Government revenues have fallen $900 million short of February’s budget projections, and teachers and other government workers can expect no new money for wages, Finance Minister Mike de Jong said Thursday.
Bright spots for the B.C. economy include an expected recovery in natural gas prices from historic lows, and $500 million in savings on government operations, de Jong said in a post-election budget update.
B.C. is continuing an effective freeze on public sector wage growth that began in 2010. Since the government’s “cooperative gains” mandate in 2012, nearly three quarters of union members have signed contracts with average pay increases of one to two per cent, financed through savings in other areas of operations. Most are two-year deals, with some halfway through.
The projected surplus for this year is trimmed from $197 million in February to $153 million, and de Jong had to trim contingency funds to
reach that.Tax hikes are
unchanged from February, including a two-year increase for personal income over $150,000 and a tobacco tax increase set for October.
The budget calls for $30 million in spending cuts this year, after last year’s reduction of $20 million in all ministries except health. The government’s “core review” of government operations is getting underway with a target of another $50 million in savings by the end of 2014, but no program targets are identified in the budget update.
The price for natural gas, the key commodity for the government’s debt reduction plan, is forecast to rise from $2.25 per gigajoule this year to $2.51 and $2.89 in the next two years. Exports of liquefied natural gas to Asia, where prices are currently far higher, can’t begin until well after 2015.
Lumber prices are forecast to decline, from a peak of US $348 per 1,000 board feet this year to $308 in 2014 and $300 in 2015.
De Jong said the government’s asset sales plan is about
$8 million ahead of projections, with about half of the properties, bonds and other financial holdings sold or in negotiations to sell. The goal is to raise $475 million for next year’s budget.
Properties already sold include land on Tranquille Road in Kamloops, a school board office in Kelowna, surplus school land in Delta, vacant lots in Burnaby, Surrey and near Victoria General
Hospital and former school sites in Surrey and North Vancouver.
Properties going on the market include a former school board office in Surrey, a vacant site north of Kelowna once planned for a provincial prison, former school sites in Central Saanich, Sidney and north central Vancouver Island and land for LNG development in Kitimat.
Hard line continues for provincial workers
Finance Minister Mike de Jong outlines current economic conditions, including job growth that has resisted the government’s jobs plan.

Good callHit ‘em where it hurts.
ICBC recently announced their decision
to make Stanley Cup rioters pay for vehicles damaged during the infamous riot two years ago.Good call. Most of these hooligans are
facing little to no jail time and financial penalties often have a way of deterring potential problems. The claim by the insurance
company so far has 46 names listed with 77 cases of damaged or destroyed vehicles. “In the civil claim, ICBC is
seeking general damages, special damages, aggravated damages, punitive damages, interest and costs,” ICBC’s release states.“ICBC has also named Jane Doe
and John Doe as defendants in the civil claim for any individuals that have either charges pending or are named at a later time.“ICBC has a responsibility to
protect our customers’ premium dollars and is taking legal action to recover the costs of these acts of vandalism to ensure they are not passed on to our customers.”With Crown seeking more
than $500,000 in damages, the financial implications to some of these people could be crushing, further deterring would-be rioters.The events of that night cannot
be undone, but by taking a hard stance against those responsible it demonstrates a strong conviction we won’t stand for it again.
Thank youCongratulations and a huge
thank you to all the volunteers and sponsors of this year’s Canada Day celebrations.How fortunate we are to live in
such a generous, culturally rich community. From all of us at the Observer, thank you for the wonderful memories.

Call it the Beach Blanket Budget.
Despite having to campaign once again to win a seat in a byelection, Premier Christy Clark has ordered the legislature to sit without her through most of July to pass the budget that was tabled before the election.
This rare summer session ensures a couple of things. First, there will be less time for real financial results to contradict the rosy predictions made by Finance Minister Mike de Jong in February.
Second, it ensures that there will be minimum public attention paid to the deliberations, as people focus on their summer vacations and put the business of running the province aside again.
B.C. Liberal house leader Mike de Jong insists there has been no decision made on whether the legislature will sit again in the fall.
The standard schedule, put in place under former premier Gordon Campbell, calls for MLAs to assemble in October and November, to consider legislation, after a spring devoted to the budget and
ministry spending.This was a serious
reform that went along with four-year scheduled elections. But Campbell soon abandoned this noble approach, with fall sessions dwindling to a few days to deal with urgent issues or disappearing altogether.
I expected Clark to reverse that after she led the party to victory in May and consigned the Campbell era to the history books. Open, accountable government and all that.
So why the summer session? I’m inclined to agree with NDP house leader John Horgan, who meets privately with de Jong in his role of government house leader to thrash out schedules. Here’s Horgan’s message to Clark and her government as he emerged from the latest meeting:
“You ran on a platform that you claimed you were ready to implement. And what we’re getting instead is, ‘let’s jam ’em in here while the media’s on holidays, while people are at the beach thinking about other things. We’ll pass our bogus budget and then we’ll see you in February’.”
Is the budget accurate, or “bogus,” or somewhere in between? They’re always projections, so that can’t be determined until next year. But the proposal to keep the increase in overall spending to less than two per cent, with nearly all the increase going to health and education, is difficult to accept.
During his time, Campbell topped the Fraser Institute’s ranking of most fiscally responsible premiers, limiting spending growth to 4.4 per cent. During those same years, average provincial economic growth was only 4.1 per cent, meaning that under the supposedly tight-fisted, tax-cutting Campbell, government continued to grow to more than 20 per cent of gross domestic product.
Clark has indicated several
times since her surprise election win that she intends to make government smaller. That’s the difference between her “core review” of government programs and the one conducted by Campbell in the painful first years of his mandate.
This is why I mentioned last week that one of the more significant instructions given to Clark’s cabinet ministers was to examine turning the Liquor Distribution Branch into a separate corporation with its own board of directors.
That in itself may slightly increases the size of government. But it could be a preliminary step to selling the whole thing off and reducing the government’s role to taxing and regulating booze sales.
You can imagine how that would go over with the NDP, with former liquor store union boss George Heyman among the loudest opposition MLAs.
This is the kind of change that should be debated in public, not by press release.

Editor:There has been a lot in
the press in the last week concerning the resignation of the president of the BC Health Authority and stressing that because this was a resignation (albeit following a serious error of judgment) that this would not result in any severance pay or cost to the taxpayer.
So it is disappointing
(but really not surprising) to hear the mayor defend council’s decision regarding the, what I believe, unnecessary severance payment to former city manager John Stecyk.
Mayor Sjostrom claims that the legal action is a waste of taxpayer money.
However, I feel she fails to mention that this severance was not the
only cost to the taxpayer.
Council upheld my harassment complaint against the city manager, and then terminated me, in my opinion, without cause, which cost the taxpayer an addition $80,000+ of unnecessary expenditure.
Furthermore, they replaced me with someone who I don’t believe was as
qualified as myself.Therefore it is the
taxpayer who will be paying for courses and training to ensure this person learns the required skills for the position and it is the taxpayer who will be paying for the higher legal costs because more advice will be required to make up for the lack of knowledge.
This hardly sets the greatest example for the workforce.
It is also demoralizing for better qualified employees not to be given an opportunity to apply for a position when it becomes available.
Hopefully taxpayers will bear all this waste of money in mind next year when election time rolls around.
Meriel WildQuesnel
Hardly a great example for the workforce
Broom statsThe City of Quesnel purchased a “golden broom” for retiree Dennis Baptiste recently. At his retirement party there was no shortage of stories about Dennis. In particular is the calculation done by Ken Coombs, Director of Public Works and Engineering on the number of brooms Dennis used in his 39 years with the City and how many kilometres Dennis has actually travelled with broom in hand. Renewing his bristles every three weeks between April and September, Dennis went through approximately nine brooms per year. After 39 years, he had worn out 351 brooms! He also swept about 2.65 kilometres per day and at 22 days per month, 7 months per year multiplied by 39 years, Dennis swept his way from Vancouver to Halifax and back to the outskirts of Hinton, Alberta. Amazing.

A few kilometres out the Blackwater Road, the aroma of fresh
roasted coffee wafts over the neighbourhood. In a newly built roast house, Ian Mason is blending and roasting exotic coffee beans and Granville’s Coffee is reaping the bene� ts of his expertise.
Mason, a cabinet maker and former resident of Vernon, recently relocated to Quesnel and hauled his Toper coffee bean roaster with him. Small by industry standards, the roaster can still cook about 11 pounds of beans at a time in roughly 15 minutes, depending on the roasting recipe.
This is Mason’s passion. The various qualities, � avours and individuality of beans from around the world intrigue him, pushing him to � nd new blends, test different roasts and of course, sample his product.
His � rst roaster was a homemade contraption which worked on a barbecue.
“Although that process was fraught with challenges, it was still better coffee than anything you could buy,” Mason said.
It wasn’t a huge step for him to invest in a proper roaster as Mason was mad about coffee.
As Mason’s wife hails from Quesnel, Granville’s Coffee has been a favourite haunt for the coffee roaster for many years. Visits to the North Cariboo usually included at least one stop at his favourite coffee shop.
“I � gured Ted was well-established with suppliers and didn’t approach him,” Mason admitted.
However, after just about everyone urged him to “go see Ted” the roast master dropped in and left his card.
Ted Martindale has been supplying locals with full-bodied, rich coffee, including espresso, for many years. When he read Mason’s card, it wasn’t long before he gave him a call and said “lets talk about coffee”.
“He’s been the most receptive of anyone I’ve contacted,” Mason said.
Martindale said he always prefers to deal locally and to have a roast master right in the neighbourhood was amazing.
After testing about 60 pounds of coffee in a myriad
of blends (Mason uses Arabica free trade [also direct trade as much as possible], organic beans from such countries as Peru, Guatemala, Costa Rica, Ethiopia and Sumatra) Martindale and Mason settled on a blend they thought would best suit Granville’s customers.
Once he introduced Mason’s Moonshine Coffee – Granville’s blend to his customers, Martindale asked for feedback.
“The majority are very happy with the coffee,” he said.
“Coffee is purely a matter of taste and everyone has their preferences.”
Mason also provides Granville’s with a special espresso blend but admits espresso is just a matter of how the coffee is brewed.
As the coffee beans roast in the roaster, Mason constantly checks on the process, extracting a few beans, assessing the aroma, watching the colour transform from green to deep brown and monitoring the temperature.
The average roasting temperature is about 420 F, but Mason was quick to add it varies, depending on the level of roast.
Freshness is essential to both Mason and Martindale.
“I like it when my beans are used in the � rst week after roasting for maximum � avour, freshness and aroma,” Mason said.
Martindale � nds that easy to comply with as he goes through about 500 pounds of coffee a month.
Mason roasts every two to three days for delivery to Granvilles.
Martindale added they will also be marketing Mason’s coffee as whole roasted beans in a bag, they’re just working out display and packaging details.
“It’s all about local businesses and symbiotic relationships,” Martindale said.
“Ian is a good roaster and I’m proud to serve his coffee.”
Mason said his � rst goal was to roast about 1,000 pounds of coffee a month. He’s not there yet but says if he exceeds that goal, they’ll deal with it.
“But we did move here for a more relaxed lifestyle,” he said with a smile.
“Regardless, each coffee will be individualized.”

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.
The purpose of this two-part article is to provide a simple explanation as to what Freemasonry is all about.
Freemasonry is a fraternity designed to teach morality and ethics and train good men to make themselves the best men they can be while being of service to their families and their communities.
Freemasonry is not a religion, but it does teach its members to be active in their chosen faith. It also subscribes to non–partisan politics while encouraging its members to be involved with civic
concerns.Although not a
charity, it promotes charity in its members. In North America, Freemasons contribute some $2.5 million a day to operate children’s hospitals, cancer clinics, burn wards, senior’s homes and other such facilities.
In North America, membership is restricted to men over the age of 21 who are prepared to profess belief in a “Supreme Being” or, what some might term more traditionally “God” dependent upon the individual’s particular faith.
They must also “come under the
tongue of good report” or, in other words, be men of good reputation such that the existing members of the Lodge would be prepared to associate with them.
Historically, records strongly suggest a lineage to operative stonemasons’ lodges or guilds of fourteenth century Scotland and an inner fraternity of the London Company of Masons. It has been theorized their need to travel at a time when travel was uncommon required the need to create a sense of community.
This included means of identifying themselves and proving their standing in the group and a culture of mutual support. Whether operative and non-operative (speculative) lodges existed concurrently or if operative lodges
slowly accepted non-operative members into their ranks is still debatable. By the end of the seventeenth century most lodges were speculative, not operative, and the ritual which involved the tools of stonemasonry as symbols was all that remained.
The symbols have all been taken from stonemasons’ tools and endowed with certain meanings. For example, considering the square and compasses so often associated with Freemasonry, we learn that the square “teaches us to regulate our lives and actions by the masonic rule and line, and so to correct and harmonize our
conduct...” while the compasses describe the limits of moral behaviour which will “keep us within due bounds of all mankind.”
In preparing this column, I have taken very liberally from a paper presented on the website of the Grand Lodge of B.C. 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.

This Saturday, the Quesnel Farmers’ Market celebrates the early summer season by hosting its very popular special feature called Artists at the Market. Large tents are set up in the centre of the market, where local spinners, weavers, painters, photographers, potters, sculptors, and more demonstrate their crafts and offer works for sale. Come and see some of the Cariboo’s most notable artists and artisans produce their pieces.
And at the same time, you can find a wide variety of the freshest vegetables and strawberries the region has to offer. In addition, breads, cookies, pies, and other baked goods are always available. There are also meat producers with quality local frozen chicken, beef, llama and smoked trout.
This year a number of ready-to-eat favourites are available. Find perogies, gyros, dim sum, pita’s and more. And, of course, the market is a great source for quality crafts and gift items, and a real hit with out-of-town guests.
The market is open from 8:30 – 1 p.m. every Saturday, at the Helen Dixon School Site on Kinchant and Carson. Additional local artists are invited to contact Maggie at 250-747-8543 if they wish to demonstrate their work this Saturday.

The First Class Collision Fembots will need the stamina of androids and the strength of metallic arms to make it through the summer, as nearly every second weekend will test their mettle with another tournament.
The peak of the season , situated smack dab in the middle Aug. 1 – 5, is their second tilt at the nationals, which they will play on (almost) home soil.
“We’re super excited especially that it’s in our province and we get to represent there,” Candace Miller, a long-time player with the team said.
“And we’ve played in Kelowna and we know the fields so we’ve got an advantage there.”
The team has grown since it’s last trip to nationals, taking lessons from the
teams they competed against and also getting a bump from the two-year old softball league in town.
“When we went to nationals we learned that it’s good to have a coach. We had been together four years but had coached ourselves,” Miller said.
Now with a coach, Miller and Cherie Mailloux, co-president of the team, feel the team has made progress.
They said the coach has helped to sort out any issues on the team and helped each player find their niche on the field.
“Making that decision is key to playing well,” Miller said.
Another big change since the Fembots last made a run at nationals two years ago is the formation of the women’s softball league in town.
The league offers the chance for the Fembots to test their mettle against other all-women teams and see where they sit.
“We’re definitely getting a good sense of where we need to
improve and it’s made such a difference,” Miller said.
And of course the plethora of extra games has required the Fembots to push harder to keep up
“We’ve dedicated a lot more time to practicing and practice games,” Mailloux said.
With the extra practice and experience, the Fembots have one goal in mind for the nationals: to do better than last time.
This year the Fembots will add a list of tournaments to their season to ready themselves for nationals.
The Fembots will play in the provincial qualifier in Burnaby this weekend, July 6 – 7 then in their own Kings and Queens tournament July 13 – 14, where they will have a 50/50 draw and other fundraising events to help pay for their trip to nationals, after which they will head to Abbortsford for provincials in early September, which is a qualifier for next year’s nationals.
Last time the Fembots went to nationals, in 2011, they crossed country to play in Atlantic Canada. The next year they opted out due to the nationals again being held out east. But knowing this year’s nationals were in B.C. they gave it their all at last year’s provincials to make it.
For information about the team or to donate towards their national drive, call co-president Carrie Johnson at 250-991-8673.

Duddy honoured by Curl BC, local curling rink

JONAS GAGNONObserver Reporter
Alison Duddy, who won silver nationally with her wheelchair curling team and who was an all star at the Nationals, was awarded Disabled Athlete of the Year by Curl BC and given a plaque to commemorate the achievement.
“I’m honoured; I really am,” Duddy said.
“I don’t feel that it belongs just to me, curling is a team sport. Without my team I
couldn’t have done this.”Ron Phillips, governor
of region 5 for CurlBC presented her with the plaque in the Quesnel Curling Club.
“We’re all very proud of her,” he said.
In honour of this achievement and to help the club serve the community more holistically, the club is now in the midst of its first stage of a renovation that will see it become more accessible, not just to Duddy, but to a host of people.
Gordon Reid, chair of the committee for the project said it will be useful to many people who come through the facility, including disabled students who can’t come on field trips to the club because of it’s lack of proper washrooms and to the club’s aging members.
The club is currently looking for donations from private citizens to help fund the project. Donators will be honoured with an engraving of their name on a plaque that will be prominently
displayed inside the club. The club has committed
$5,000 of its own to the renovations and needs to collect another $7,000 to be able to move ahead.
They are partnering with the adult trades students of CNC and School District 28 to help with the renovations.
Phase two is an elevator to their lounge and phase three is a renovation of the upstairs bathrooms.
After phase 1 the club will be able to host wheel chair bonspiels.
“We’re super excited especially that it’s in our province and we get to
represent there,” Fembot, Candace Miller

SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22Scorpio, spend some quality time at home if you have been away for awhile. Time spent with your loved ones will reinvigorate you and put some hop back in your step.
SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21Sagittarius, step out of the shadows for a bit this week to get the praise and recognition you deserve. There’s no shame in accepting the gratitude of others.
CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20Capricorn, your focus on the future may be making it difficult for you to see what is right in front of you. Take stock of your immediate future and you’ll be glad you did.
AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18Aquarius, expect to tackle many things on your to-do list this week. While you are feeling motivated, keep going. You may accomplish a lot more.
PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20Pisces, sometimes you will have to make sacrifices, and this week you may find yourself putting others first. You thrive at being selfless.

Junior Olympians assembleArchers from Vanderhoof, Prince George,
Williams Lake and Quesnel gathered at the old QYSA soccer fields to compete on a provincial level.
Quesnel was one of three areas where archers gathered to take part in the contest. Archers also shot in Squamish and Duncan, with all three areas comparing their scores to find the best shooters across an array of fields.
Archers ranged from 8-18 years old and were split into three categories along age lines into cub, cadet and junior. These age categories were further split between male and female archers and with regards to what kind of bow – barebow, recurve or compound – they shot with.
Young archers prepare themselves and take aim at targets of varying distances in last Sunday’s junior Olympian program competition at the old QYSA fields.

CAPSULE COMMENTSSafeway
with Lee-Anne Williams B.Sc. (Pharm)Quinoa (pronounced Keen-wa), is the only plant food that contains all ten essential amino acids. Quinoa is actually a seed of a grain-like crop related to beets. It cooked like rice and is a nutritionally-sound food source to add to your diet.The Mediterranean diet seems to be the best for a long healthy life. Imagine a pyramid with the widest bottom part listing fruits, vegetables, grains, olive oil, beans, nuts legumes and seeds (like quinoa). The next level up contains fish and seafood. Above that is poultry, eggs, cheese and yogurt. And at the very top and smallest part of the pyramid: meats and sweets.Our kidneys’ job is to filter our blood. They filter about 40 gallons of fluid every day. They hold back substances your body needs and lets the rest go out in the urine. High blood pressure or diabetes can damage the kidneys and if not controlled can result in kidney failure.During the hot days of summer, it’s important to keep hydrated. About 90% of our body’s cooling comes from the evaporation of sweat from our skin. During heavy exertion in hot weather, we can lose two or more litres of water in an hour. Keep your water consumption up to prevent dehydration.There are many summer ailments that can make our lives miserable. It may be sunburn, allergies, poison ivy, insect bites or simple diarrhea from eating too much fruit. Our pharmacists are always available for advice on the best treatment.
