AUTUMN MacDONALDObserver Reporter

City council has thrown their support behind opposing pay parking at CNC.

In a letter to CNC President Henry Reiser and the board of directors, Mayor Bob Simpson states:

“On behalf of council, I wish to inform you of council’s strong opposition to CNC’s unilateral decision to impose pay parking at

our community campus and respectfully request that this decision be rescinded.”

Simpson pointed to the “restructuring” announcement by CNC’s president and the decision to implement pay parking at the Gold Pan’s campus.

“As I informed the president and board chair in person, the decision to institute pay parking came as a surprise to council and our community,” he said in his letter.

“If this mode of

decision-making is reflective of what we can expect under CNC’s ‘one college’ strategic decision then our fears about centralized decision-making as a result of downgrading our regional manager position to a regional principal will prove warranted.”

Coun. Laurey-Anne Roodenburg also voiced her concerns over the decision-making process.

“There were no stake holder discussions with anyone who might be

affected including UNBC, our post secondary education council and from what I have heard not even his own board knew of this decision,” she said.

“Having pay parking at the college would make it the only spot in Quesnel that has it. The other issue is, can you imagine what the other businesses in that area are going to be saying when their parking is now used by those who do not want to ‘pay’ for their parking?

Not a good thing.”Roodenburg has started

an on-line petition and encourages residents to check it out at, www.ipetitions.com/petition/hell-no-we-wont-pay.

The resolution council passed read as follows:

“That Quesnel City Council directs the mayor to forward a letter to the CNC board of directors and administration requesting the decision to institute pay parking at the north cariboo campus be retracted,

as CNC’s decision to implement pay-parking was made unilaterally and without consultation, does not align with our community’s practice of not charging for parking (there is not a single location within the city that has pay parking), will present unreasonable burden on businesses and facilities in the area of the campus and represents an additional cost burden on students.”

Gold Pan organizations receive big funding

Two Quesnel-based organizations are sharing more than $42,000 in the latest round of provincial gaming grants to support the delivery of local programs.

The Quesnel SkyFest Society is receiving $40,000 to increase SkyFest and Aviation awareness and education. The North Cariboo Gymkhana Society is benefiting from $2,100 towards their Gymnkhana Program.

“Quesnel Skyfest Society stages an international airshow in Quesnel every second year with the specific goal of being a low-cost, family oriented week-end meant to raise awareness, understanding and the sheer excitement of flight,” Secretary and Volunteer Co-ordinator Betsy van Halderen, said.

“In the non-show years,

we promote Quesnel as a destination or stopover for aviation enthusiasts of all kinds and sponsor opportunities for the community to interact with visiting pilots. We are also gathering information on the history of aviation in the Cariboo and will make this part of future events.”

“A key priority for our province is to strengthen arts and culture and encourage participation in sport and active, healthy lifestyles by all British Columbians regarding of age, background or ability,” Cariboo North MLA Coralee Oakes said.

Quesnel is a vibrant and creative community that is so rich in talent and I am pleased this funding will continue to support this by increasing awareness and education.”

The Community Gaming Grants to these two organizations were made possible through the Sports and Arts and Culture intake. Grants through this intake go towards programs that contribute to the quality of life in a community, including assisting the disadvantaged or distressed, promoting health, or enhancing opportunities for youth.

Every year, the provincial government approves $135 million in gaming grants that benefit over 5,000 local organizations that serve communities throughout British Columbia.

Organizations interested in applying for Community Gaming Grants can find information and applications at pssg.gov.bc.ca/gaming.

CITY COUNCIL NEWS

Working Hard to Create aProgressive Community

Mayor Bob [email protected]

Bob Simpson, Mayor

This column is paid for by the City of Quesnel.410 Kinchant Street, Quesnel, BC V2J 7J5

www.quesnel.ca

During Council’s strategic planning pro-cess we discussed at length some of the progressive changes we need to undertake in order to attract young families, retain our seniors, and entice new investors and new kinds of investment to our community to help us through this transition period. Some of these changes will require us to re-orient where we spend your tax dollars. Some can be achieved through changes to our bylaws and policies. Others will only be achieved through strategic partnerships with other levels of government, our business commu-nity, local service groups, and citizen groups that are promoting progressive agendas.

On the infrastructure front we need to do a better job consulting with user groups in ad-vance of capital and maintenance projects -- especially projects related to our sports and recreation facilities, parks, and playgrounds. In some cases we’ll be able to add value to what we have with moderate investments. For example, adding pickle-ball lines to our tennis courts (a new racquet sport) or accessibility options to existing playgrounds. Rubberizing the surface of our spray park with grant money is another example of this kind of initiative.

On the policy front, our Policy and Bylaw Committee is busy cleaning up the City’s bylaws in advance of proposing new, more progressive ones. This Committee is work-ing on an anti-idling bylaw as part of our climate change initiatives. It’s also exploring options for a smoke-free bylaw to restrict public smoking in areas where people desire a smoke-free environment. The Commit-tee is also wrestling with how to address panhandling in our downtown core and will be looking at other bylaws that will signal to current and potential residents and inves-tors that our community will proactively promote a healthy, progressive lifestyle and environment.

Council is also actively seeking partner-ships to achieve our vision of a vibrant and resilient community. We’re working with Northern Health to establish a primary care clinic that will address our doctor shortage. We’re working with the CRD to enhance our recreation facilities (and build a new arena). And, we’re interested in supporting groups like the Lions Club with their seniors housing project and Edible Quesnel in their desire to see us convert some of our flower beds into edible plants.

Quesnel has long been an attractive com-munity. But, for many decades we’ve been able to depend on our forest sector to form the backbone of our economy. The chal-lenge we face now is to make our commu-nity’s attractiveness our backbone, and to build an economy around the fact we are a progressive place to call home and to create employment.

NEWS

How does a consumer know if the popular light accessory they’re considering for their vehicle is legal or not?

Finding this information before you install any new vehicle lamp could save you money and a stop by the RCMP.

Of� cers were detaining vehicles on Highway 97 South near the train station on Wednesday checking any suspect lamps.

According to the RCMP in Quesnel, in general, lights that comply with requirements are marked by the manufacturer to show when they’re legal or not. North American equipment bears SAE or DOT codes. European lamps with E codes and Japanese lights with JIS/HJASIC code, carry a particular marking that shows device function such as SAE Y or E HR for an auxiliary driving light.

A lack of these markings should raise a red � ag for consumers.

It is common to � nd counterfeit markings on aftermarket lamps, particularly those purchased from outside of Canada and on websites such as eBay.

LED lights are slowly gaining acceptance for on highway applications and no doubt will be present in all applications in the future. For now, if you cannot � nd a similar LED lamp that is original equipment on a vehicle manufactured in North America, be suspicious of the approval markings.

If the lamps do not show any approval markings or words similar to “check with local authorities before using on the highway” are present on the packaging, it is highly probable these lights are not legal for use.

All non-approved lamps installed on your vehicle are

considered to be “off road lamps” and must be covered with an opaque cover when the vehicle is being driven on the highway.

Motorists could be open to a couple of violation tickets in Motor Vehicle Act Regulations (MVAR) section 4.02(1) unauthorized lamp with a � ne of $81 or MVAR section 4.25 Off Road Lamps uncovered when on highway with a � ne of $109.

There is also the option of a Notice and Order requiring the owner to either cover or remove the lamps or for the vehicle to be required to pass an inspection.

The general lighting requirements, as de� ned by MVAR state: 4.02 (1) a vehicle on a highway must only be equipped with and use lamps, re� ectors or other illuminating devices authorized by this division or authorized in writing by the director; (2) a vehicle on a highway must be equipped with lamps equivalent to those provided by the original manufacturer in accordance wilt the requirements that applied under the Motor Vehicle Safety Act (Canada) or a predecessor to that Act, at the time of vehicle manufacture; (3) all lamps, lamp bulbs and re� ectors required or permitted by this Division, must comply with (a) the approved standards established by the Motor Vehicle Safety Act (Canada) and the applicable SAE standards; (b)the conditions of use described in this Division, and; © the requirements of Table 1 of the Schedule to this Division; (4) the function of two or more lamps or re� ectors may be combined if each function meets the following requirements; (a) no turn signal lamp may be combined optically with a stop

lamp unless the stop lamp is extinguished when the turn signal is � ashing; (b) a clearance lamp must not be combined optically with a tail-lamp or identi� cation lamp; (5) the director may except vehicles of classes of vehicles from the requirements

of this section.With regards to

off-road lamps, section 4.25 of the MVAR states despite section 4.04 (2)©, a vehicle equipped with off-road lamps when on a highway must have the off-road lamps concealed with opaque covers.

In conclusion, when it comes to what is and is not legal for lighting accessories on any vehicle, it’s buyer beware and do your homework, before you incur a � ne for illegal lamps or lamp requirements.

public hearing

area a

Both of these applications have had a previous public hearing with their accompanying rezoning bylaws but were not adopted prior to the adoption of the new QFOCP. Therefore the old bylaws were rescinded and the bylaws above were created to reflect the new QFOCP.

Public hearings are for all persons who believe their interest in property is affected by the proposed bylaws. The public hearings are to be held by a delegate of the Cariboo Regional District Board. A copy of the CRD resolution is available for public inspection.

Written submissions regarding the proposed bylaw will also be received. These submissions may be submitted at the public hearing or should be received in the Cariboo Regional District office at 180 D North 3rd Avenue, Williams Lake, BC, V2G 2A4, (fax number 392-2812) forty-eight hours prior to the hearing. No further information or representations can be considered by the CRD Board after the public hearing. All verbal and written submissions will become the public record.

The bylaw and an information package may be inspected on our website or at the Cariboo Regional District office, #102-410 Kinchant Street, Quesnel, BC, V2J 7J5, between 8:00 am to 12:00 noon and 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m., Monday to Friday, from June 10, 2015 to June 17, 2015 inclusive (excepting public holidays). This information may also be inspected at the Cariboo Regional District office at 180 D North 3rd Avenue, Williams Lake, BC, between 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday to Friday, from June 10, 2015 to June 17, 2015 inclusive (excepting public holidays).

It’s not a firm quota, but construction unions have won a commitment from the B.C. government to require apprentices to be hired for public projects worth more than $15 million.

Jobs Minister Shirley Bond announced the new requirement Tuesday, and it takes effect July 1. Construction firms bidding on major projects such as schools, hospitals, roads or bridges will have to include their plans to hire apprentices.

Construction unions have pushed for the change, arguing that a lack of apprentices on public jobs is an obvious gap in the government’s skills training plan. B.C. Building Trades executive director Tom Sigurdson said he is pleased

with the agreement, and will give it a year to work before deciding if it goes far enough.

Bond said the coming year could see as many as 15 major projects that would qualify. She agreed with Sigurdson that many apprentices don’t complete their training because they can’t find a job placement between stints in trade school.

Bond said subcontracts worth $500,000 or more, with a focus on one of the 57 Red Seal trades, will also require an apprenticeship component. In her discussions with employers, she said they are looking to increase apprenticeships as baby boom trades people begin to retire in large numbers.

Houle Electric president Robert Lashin said the government has struck the right balance. “By having a

policy like this, government is setting a standard but is not being prescriptive,” he said.

NDP jobs critic Shane Simpson said his party has called for apprentice opportunities on publicly funded projects for years, but the government needs to go further.

“In the public service, including municipalities,

schools, universities, health care, there are only 300 apprentices in the whole province, and about half of them are with BC Hydro,” Simpson said.

B.C. Federation of Labour president Irene Lanzinger said “aspirational goals are not enough,” and the province should require one of four employees on major projects be apprentices.

Apprentices required for public construction

Highway 16 records destroyed, ex-staffer saysTOM FLETCHER

Black Press

The B.C. NDP is calling for an investigation of missing records they have been seeking on community meetings along Highway 16 in northern B.C.

NDP MLAs produced letters from a former assistant to Transportation Minister Todd Stone, who says a supervisor deleted emails from his computer to keep them from being considered for a freedom of information (FOI) request.

A history of missing and murdered women along the remote highway from Prince George to Prince Rupert led to a series of community meetings last year. Opposition critics have been demanding records from the meetings, and calling for additional bus service along the highway to keep vulnerable people from hitch-hiking.

Former executive assistant Tim Duncan wrote to B.C. Privacy Commissioner Elizabeth Dunham Thursday, saying his supervisor told him to delete a dozen of his emails in November 2014 after an FOI

request came to the ministry.

“When I hesitated, he took away my keyboard, deleted the emails and returned the keyboard stating, ‘It’s done. Now you don’t have to worry about it any more’,” Duncan wrote to Denham.

Confronted with the letter in question period Thursday, Premier Christy Clark said records should not be deleted once an FOI request is made. Citizens’ Services Minister Amrik Virk said not every email is considered a government record.

Stone said he intends to have a “frank” discussion with his ministerial assistant George Gretes about the accusation that Gretes deleted the emails.

In an email to NDP leader John Horgan’s office, Duncan acknowledged he had no evidence of the incident or the content of the deleted messages. He said he blew the whistle on the Highway 16 incident because his own father was murdered in a domestic incident in 2010, and he believes the families of missing and murdered people “deserve better.”

Duncan was appointed to his job in October 2014. He told the NDP he left “the cesspool that is

the B.C. government in March” and reported to Denham that he believes abuse of the FOI process

is “widespread and most likely systemic within the Clark government.”

Jobs Minister Shirley Bond and Tom Sigurdson of the B.C. Building Trades announce deal on public construction at the B.C. legislature Tuesday.

Where from here?

The Truth and Reconciliation Commission has issued its final report on the legacy of

the residential-school program in Canada — and the 381-page sum-mary is powerful reading.Justice Murray Sinclair, chairman

of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, said residential-school survivors endured a “cultural geno-cide’’ that tore apart their families and left them to deal with a lifetime of horrors connected to the abuse — physical, emotional and sexual — they suffered.The scandal is well known and has

been in the news for many years.In 2007, the Indian Residential

Schools Settlement Agreement was created. It included almost $2 bil-lion for compensation payments to former students and established the Truth and Reconciliation Commis-sion that spent six years crafting the report released this year.In 2008, Prime Minister Stephen

Harper offered a historic formal apology in the House of Commons for the residential-school system.Sinclair’s report includes 94 recom-

mendations, including the estab-lishment of a national holiday of remembrance and that the horrors of the residential-school system be taught more intensively in schools.But, the greater question is one

Gov.-Gen. David Johnston asked yesterday: “Where do we go from here?”In Kamloops, there is the matter

of the day-scholars lawsuit with which to contend. The Tk’emlups and Sechelt Indian bands are seeking compensation for those who attend-ed residential schools during the day, but went home at night.Across the nation, there are First

Nations groups who argue the federal government has not done nearly enough to address the wrongs — formal apology and settlement agreement be damned.Where do we go from here? It is a

difficult question to answer, but hav-ing everyday Canadians digest the report and talk to residential-school survivors would be the first step to answering it.

–KTW

After watching the news and reading the paper, I can’t

help feeling discouraged. Despite disasters, record temperatures, the disappearance of polar ice, to name few environmental issues, both the federal and B.C. governments are doing their best to torpedo anything that improves the lot of the average citizen or the environment.

While more and more Canadians are falling through the cracks, we have a middle class that is disappearing, a rising amount of Canadians living in poverty, while large amounts of tax payers money is being spent on large Corporations who financially and environmentally harm this country.

For instance, it is a crying shame that close to 50 per cent of the timber cut in B.C. is dumped in the ocean on its way to China and Japan.

This is not only a direct job loss, but very little or no timber will be left for our children.

Since the mid 1980’s it has been known that forests regulate the flow of water by absorbing it and releasing it slowly instead of creating flash floods. Forests also influence the weather and absorb carbon monoxide. Scientists in 1980 predicted an increasing wind and storm velocity, flash floods and wars over water.

I can remember writing about this for this paper in mid-1980.

The sad part is that since that time nothing or very little has changed. As a matter of fact I can take a lot of these articles change the names and time, print them and use them today.

The export of raw resources does nothing for the Canadian economy be it

the export of raw logs or oil resources.

The only thing it does is give the large Corporations a bigger profit by cutting out the wood processing and oil refining and have that done by cheaper labour outside of Canada.

At this point in time Harpers big oil sand dream hangs by a very thin thread and most of the big oil corporations are moving out leaving Alberta scrambling. In B.C. Christy Clark is welcoming natural gas corporations that obtain the gas by fracking.

Despite the fact that this process uses idiotic amounts of fresh water, poisons large areas of groundwater and is banned in Europe and parts of the U.S. Ms. Clark is proud of bringing these environmental disaster Corporations here. In a world lacking drinking water, the poisoning of large areas of drinking water is criminal and makes these areas unfit to live in for man or beast which is acceptable to Ms. Clark.

So is the building of the Sight C dam that will flood

large areas of valuable river bottom valleys.

It is all the more crazy since a number of smaller dams as suggested by economists, scientists and environmental groups will be less costly and more environmentally friendly have been rejected by Ms. Clark.

The only reason I can think of is that a large dam will keep the labour movement happy and give her more votes. Then there is the 100 million dollar gift to the Pulp Mill Industry of which West Fraser got a large share. This money would have built a much needed bypass in Quesnel.

The latest humdinger is letting large foreign corporations plant trees on land set aside for agriculture so they can pollute more. I think Mr. Harper and Ms. Clark should get married and live in the Nevada desert, where Harper can look for oil in the sand and Ms. Clark can look for arable land.

MLA and

team were great

Editor:In last month’s

Quesnel Cariboo Observer – a resident of Cariboo-North raised a concern about access to Cariboo-North MLA Coralee Oakes. I’d like to share a positive interaction that I received from MLA Oakes’ office recently.

As Area D Director of the Cariboo Regional District – I recently brought two matters, road lines and repairing of a phone line for a business at McLeese Lake, to the attention of MLA Oakes’ staff. Not too long after – I received satisfactory results from those two items I brought forward. A big thank you to Kiley Sales, constituency assistant to MLA Oakes, for helping to look after my constituents.

I encourage the public to contact MLA Oakes’ office should they have items of concerns to bring forward and I am certain that they will receive the same result I did.

Editor:An open letter to Premier

Christy Clark.We the undersigned

chiefs applaud the recent federal court decision to disallow the salmon farming industry transfer of fish infected with viruses to open net pens.

We understand the Minister of Fisheries can still override the Fisheries Act and allow this kind of transfer. We are in solidarity with the Wild Salmon Caravan of May 10-14, and the over 108,888 people who signed the petition that was delivered to you on May 27 in the Provincial Legislature, both asking you to:

Not issue Licenses of Occupation to the salmon farms trying to expand in British Columbia. Wild salmon are much too important to the world to risk for a dirty industry that refuses to contain its waste and pollutes our oceans.

The salmon farming industry has lost their social license. Wild salmon that we have title and rights to are currently being exposed to untreated farmed salmon effluent throughout their migration routes along coastal British Columbia. Our fishers have witnessed too many pre-spawn deaths, salmon discolored with open sores, too weak to swim

upstream and escaped farmed Atlantic salmon.

Governments and corporations must honour the duty to consult with, and obtain the consent of First Nation titleholders on industrial projects impacting their respective territories and Aboriginal rights. This includes salmon farming as it poses potential grave threat to First Nations right to a fishery.

Justice Bruce Cohen concluded in his commission report that fish farms may pose serious or irreversible harm to wild salmon due to disease, but his report and recommendations have been virtually ignored

at all levels of government.Given the mounting

evidence that fish farms on wild salmon migration routes are a threat to our wild salmon, we are writing you to inform you that the Province of BC must not expand existing farms, offer new licenses of occupation or renew fish farm leases without our consent.

In addition, there must be immediate independent and transparent testing of farmed salmon in the hatcheries determine whether they have viruses or diseases before they are placed on the migration routes of Fraser River salmon.

This letter will be further

circulated throughout the Nations of the Fraser River watershed.

My blitz campaign contin-ued to hit the jackpot all the way through the Cariboo. I sold my way from 100 Mile House to Quesnel. But, the towns are small. So I did my business fast. And then I got right out of there! Here today, gone tomorrow – that’s my summer motto!

I wanted to take a little break, so I settled into my latest RV and got on my way. I headed up a quiet road and

passed a small town, popu-lation 300. Th en I saw it. It was a sign. Yep, you guessed

it – I hit B.C.’s very own gold mine. Since I never pass up the chance to make a sale, could I strike gold in Barkerville!?

I had the per-fect vehicle to suit this tourist

destination, but the buyers were limited. And my RV was a little worn.With my recent travels, the odometer read-ing might be a deal breaker

for some.But, as you probably al-

ready know, I’m an experi-enced curber. I knew just the solution. I still had my odometer tool, so I rolled it back to hide some kilome-ters. Gave it a good scrub down, switched up the tires to match the miles – the usu-al. And of course, I left no

traces of what I’d done. A few days passed. Still no

calls. Th at’s odd, I thought. Th is never happens. My schemes never fail me! I was growing restless. Tourists came and went. And my RV remained “For Sale.” Why wasn’t I striking gold?

But I was in luck. In the campground, I chatted with

a family having serious en-gine troubles with their RV. Looked like their vacation might be derailed without some help. Lucky for me, a licensed RV dealer was some miles away and they trust-ed me. Th at’s my goal. Seem like the neighbor down the street.

Th e RV was safe, as far as

I knew, and their vacation was saved. But I sold it for way over its value. I loaded my things onto the motor-bike I had strapped to the bumper and headed home. Walt has offi cially conquered the Cariboo. Boy, I really do get around!

Watch for me! I could be in your town next.

Are you deciding between buying from a private seller or a licensed dealer? Private sales often have one perceived bene-fi t – lower price. But, even that can disappear when you look at the risks you’re taking on. Particularly if the private seller you buy from turns out to be a curber – really an unlicensed dealer intentionally breaking all the rules. And, many folks don’t know there’s a sales tax advantage when trading-in a vehicle at a dealer.

Unlike private sellers, li-censed dealers must be trans-parent in their selling practic-es. Th is means they must sell vehicles in a clear and open manner, while standing be-hind any representations made about the vehicle. Dealers can’t withhold information that would cause you to make an er-ror in judgment about whether or not to buy the vehicle.

Th is includes strict selling standards. Dealers must hire licensed salespeople who have passed a background check and a certifi cation course on motor

vehicle sales law. Dealers must declare prior out-of-province registrations and vehicle uses (if it was a lease, rental, taxi or emergency vehicle). Prior dam-age, above certain limits, must also be disclosed prior to pur-chase. And, licensed dealers are obligated to sell vehicles that meet safety requirements and are free of unpaid liens.

As part of being licensed, dealers contribute to a cus-tomer compensation fund that regularly settles eligible claims from around the prov-ince. Dealers also off er extra services and savings such as fi -nancing and warranty options. Finally, licensed dealers make an investment in their staff , operations, reputation and their community.

Curbers escape doing any of the above. And, the Vehicle Sales Authority can assist only with purchases from licensed dealers. If something goes wrong with a private sale, you’re on your own. Learn more at the vehiclesalesauthority.com

Curbers may get junk cars and sell them from parking lots while posing as private sellers. They advertise through local newspapers and online ads. They may not disclose the vehicle history to the buyer, hiding serious accident

damage or even a rolled back odometer. Licensed dealers are required by law to sell safe, lien-free vehicles and disclose vehicle histories. If you buy from Walt, you have none of the protections of buying from a licensed dealer.

Curbers are individuals and businesses selling vehicles for profit without a licence

ANNIE GALLANTObserver Reporter

The Quesnel Art Gallery’s June show features the work of the Quesnel Woodturners Guild and

the exceptionally beautiful creations by the members of the guild are well worth a look see.

Guild president George Thompson said the 15 – 18 members meet every month for club demonstrations, challenges and generally to share knowledge and learn from each other.

“The foundation of the club is our mutual love of turning wood,” he said.

“However, you can learn something from everyone.”

The club also works on various projects, many of which end up as donations to local clubs and community events.

“The guild created 20 bowls which were given away to dignitaries during the recent Canada Winter Games in Prince George,” he said.

“Guild members also demonstrated the craft in the Economic Development booth during the games.”

The group is open to new woodturners and veteran crafts people. Thompson said often someone new to woodturning will grow their skills to the point where the student becomes the teacher and the teacher becomes the student.

But everyone is drawn to the guild because they want to work on a lathe with wood.

New turners usually start with spindles, one of the simplest projects.

“You need to develop a feel for your tools and what you can expect when tool meets wood,” he said.

“Club members also help newcomers to learn safety and control of the tools.”

Whenever a turner begins a new project, Thompson said planning plays a part but more often than not, the wood dictates where the turner goes with a piece, especially in the more advanced projects.

This is particularly true with burls which present their own special challenges.

“There’s no grain pattern with burls, they’re growths on a side of the tree, like a cancer, then you must follow the dictates of the wood.”

There’s no wood species turners can’t work with, but most work with indigenous woods which the guild reclaims from various sources.

“Now that the land� ll charges tree removal companies to dump what they chop down, we get a call and everything we take away they don’t have to pay for,” Thompson said.

“It keeps incredible wood out of the land� ll.”

Quesnel boosts particularly beautiful

birch wood, the envy of many woodturners in other regions.

With unusual colour and variety, this birch is just not seen in other places, Thompson added.

The only wood they can’t use is rotten wood, and even then they’ll salvage any usable pieces.

When asked what his favourite wood was, Thompson and several members agreed they love all wood and enjoy changing up the species and projects.

Thompson said he dives into any project that interests him.

“I’d never made a lamp-shade before

and now I have,” he said with a grin.Between 10 – 11 members have

contributed to the Gallery show showcasing the skill and creativity of these turners.

Although Thompson said it’s possible to make a living as a woodturner, most of the Quesnel Woodturners Guild are retirees who practice their craft as a hobby. Although its not unusual for women to be woodturners, Thompson said Quesnel’s Guild is very lucky to have three women in the group.

“Every club member brings their own special qualities to the Guild and this show,” he said.

To appreciate the tremendous variety of turned pieces in the show, stop by the Arts and Recreation Centre and stroll the gallery.

A small metal tree with exquisitely turned Christmas tree ornaments and miniature bird houses sits beside an oversized, remarkable burl bowl. A unique wooden crate holds a collection of turned trees and treasure boxes. Tables, display stands and assorted other surfaces allow the viewer to cruise the room marvelling at the artistry of these crafts people.

The show, Once a Tree, truly re� ects the North Cariboo’s love of wood and is sponsored by Cariboo Pulp and Paper.

Gallery hours are Tuesday to Saturday, 10 a.m. – 4 p.m.

With Jessica Joly B.Sc. (Pharm)There really is no safe way to tan. In fact, in some circles, a “healthy tan” is an oxymoron. Skin experts say it takes only one painful, blistering sunburn during the first 10 years of life to double the risk of skin cancer. This is one situation where “an ounce of prevention” is certainly true. Protect your skin this summer.June is Brain Injury Awareness Month in Canada to raise awareness that “a concussion is a brain injury”. Brain injury is a silent epidemic. In fact, it is the number-one killer and disabler of people under the age of 44. The Brain Injury Association of Canada urges all Canadians to help prevent acquired brain injuries by wearing helmets while cycling, skateboarding and playing contact sports. Are you a slow eater? Good for you! Studies done on this topic show that those who take time with their meals and chew their food longer will consume fewer calories and you will feel fuller faster. Food digestion begins in the mouth so chewing longer will help this first phase of digestion.Dr. Ted Sourkes died in Janaury. His research provided a great step forward in the treatment of Parkinsons (PD) when he noticed that PD patients’ brains had lower levels of dopamine. Dopamine doesn’t pass through the barrier to the brain, but he noticed that a precursor to dopamine, L-dopamine, did enter the brain. This drug provided PD patients with a new lease on life.When new drugs are discovered, chances are that we will know about them. Keeping current with what’s new in medications is an important part of our job.

Make Tracks!!Funded in part by the West Fraser Mills Ltd Fund, the Cariboo Ski Touring Club receives $5000 towards the purchase of a new snowmobile . At the annual Gala on April 11, Brian Balkwill from West Fraser Mills presented the cheque to CSTC volunteer Tanya Gruene.The Cariboo Ski-Touring Club (CSTC) requires the use of a snowmobile between 4-7 days per week during the active cross country ski season, which is mid December to the end of March. CSTC uses a snowmobile for: pulling the emergency toboggan, packing the � rst snowfalls, daily setup for ski school, grooming with the Ginzu and transporting equipment to the biathlon range for practise and events.CSTC was formed in 1975 to further all aspects of cross country skiing in the Quesnel area and has been in continuous operation since that time. The full winter public recreation facility at Hallis Lake was developed under an agreement with the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations. The facility includes 75 km of ski trails, 10 km of snowshoe trails, biathlon range, 3.5 km of lighted trails, 2 play areas for children, equipment shop and an excellent day lodge. The current club membership is 520 with many others who prefer the day pass system or are enrolled in club programs.The long term goal is to operate the community recreation facility at Hallis Lake on a sustainable basis. The CSTC wishes to continue to expand the public use of the facility in all seasons but particularly in winter for cross country skiing and snowshoeing. Best e� orts have been made to expand the adult lesson program, skill development program and the elementary ski school program. Our success depends on the best possible grooming and conditioning of the snow and trails for the skiing public.

After some 30 years of beautiful singing and strong musical friendship, Quesnel’s much loved a cappella women’s music group, known as Sweet Harmony, sang their last song last fall.

During this time they have sung for community events of all kinds, from small gatherings such as weddings and birthdays to larger concerts and formal dinners. They have raised a considerable amount of money for various charities, becoming so popular they sometimes had to turn down requests because of their busy personal and performance schedule. A group highlight was their 20th Anniversary concert where they raised $5,000 for the Digital Mammography Unit at GR Baker Hospital.

The group started in 1984 when Connie Lee was kicked by a horse and received extensive facial injuries. Connie decided that singing would be good therapy so she contacted Shirley Cotter and they formed a group. Approximately 10

ladies got together to sing barbershop style harmony with encouragement and help from the Prince George Sweet Adelines. Bill Wood was the first conductor, followed by Marilyn Rummel, then Roy Carson.

By 1990, the group found themselves without a conductor and Betsy van Halderen stepped up to lead temporarily for almost 25 years.

For some time their main focus of

musical style was barbershop harmony but after Betsy attended a “Singing in Harmony” workshop lead by Dale Rasmussen, she introduced the choir to a more relaxed styles of music.

The larger choir found its musical niche of 3- and 4-part harmony singing – moving their musical repertoire away from barbershop.

With the continued growth of the choir and changing music

style – they changed their name and “Sweet Harmony” was formed.

Dale Rasmussen had such an impact on their music they invited him to Quesnel regularly to present music workshops.

Singers are exited that he is returning again this year and invite all Quesnel singers, both male and female, to attend the workshop.

This workshop may even generate

the interest to form a mixed community choir.

Come out to sing by joining Dale Rasmussen at a two-day workshop “Singing in Harmony” June 20 – 21 at Shiraoi House.

For information check out Dale’s website: www.dalerasmussen.com or call Cheryl 250-992-8618 or Kay 250-255-1352.

Give a tree or shrub a proper

home and it will repay you in years to come with its shade, � owers and fruit. We hope that you would give it a good start by following these planting instructions.

•Dig a hole at least twice as wide as the root ball (bigger is better), but no more than 15cm (6 in.) deeper.

•Add 1/3 compost or peat to 2/3 of the soil that was removed from the hole and mix together.

•Add ½ – 1 cup of bone meal to the bottom of the hole and mix in.

•If in a plastic pot: remove the pot. If in a fi bre pot: do not remove the pot. Puncture the pot with holes to help decay the � bre pot. If possible cut off the bottom. If wrapped in burlap: leave the tree in burlap or its wire

basket and place in the hole (see the next step) and backfi ll 2/3 of the hole. Remove the ties at the top and fold burlap and wire back.

•Place the tree in hole at the same level as the surrounding soil and add 2/3 of soil to hole.

•Fill the hole with water and Nurseryland Transplanter fertilizer and let sit until the water disappear. Add the remaining soil leaving a 5cm (2in.) depression at the edge of the hole.

•Water a #5 pot size tree with 5 – 10 gallons of water or 2 – 3 times as much water as the pot size. Water every 7 – 10 days depending on the weather. A good deep watering will encourage roots to grow deeper into the soil, rather than frequent small amounts which will result in shallow

roots.It is equally

important not to over water as it is to under water. The plant will exhibit symptoms of wilting for both. If in

doubt, dig down and feel the soil yourself.

LIFESTYLES

REMEMBER TO RECYCLE

If you hear the St. Andrew’s United Church bell ring out 90 times on Sunday, June 14, don’t think it is an emergency and call the � re department.

It’s because we are holding a service of celebration recogniz-ing the 90th Anniversary of the formation of our United Church of Canada – on June 10, 1925.

In 2011 we, here in Quesnel, celebrated the 100th anni-versary of our Church build-ing. St. Andrew’s was built as a Presbyterian Church, and opened its doors for services in 1911.

In 1925 it became one of the many Presbyterian churches across Canada that united with the Canadian Methodists, Congregationalists and Local Union Churches to Form the

United Church of Canada. When the United Church of

Canada came into being on Wednesday, June 10, 1925, the visionaries who brought it together recognized several different things:• a common sense of com-munity• a common theology• a commitment to sharing

It was becoming clear that churches needed to work together to provide ministry to people in all the new towns and villages and cities that were growing up across the nation.

The beginning of this union was marked with a huge wor-ship service, held in an arena in Toronto.

Since that beginning, the United Church of Canada

has had an amazingly strong presence in our country. It’s Canada’s largest Protestant denomination, with more than two million people in more than 3,000 congregations claiming it as their church home.

The scripture passage that was read at the inaugural service is from the Gospel of John, Chapter 17, verses 18 – 21. The words, that all may be one from verse 21 are embla-zoned on the United Church crest.

As that phrase suggests, The United Church of Canada is a church where everyone is welcome – and by the way, don’t be caught off-guard by the ringing of the bell!
