One of the most fundamental principles of a functioning democracy is that citizens and elected officials will make informed decisions; decisions based on fact and reasoned dialogue, not rumor and misinformation. Unfortunately, in today’s society, people are often “too busy” to inform themselves of the facts and social media tends to amplify gossip and speculation as if they were facts.

Council’s desire to build a new public works facility is a case in point. The rumour mill has us building a “Taj Mahal” and abusing our authority by using the reverse petition process. The facts are:

1. we are simply proposing to build an efficient, functional workplace for one-third of our workforce;

2. the reverse petition process is an appropriate way for us to test the public’s will in advance of a potential referendum if ten percent of the voters express concern about the proposed budget ceiling for this project.

Our public works crews build and maintain our road, water, sewer, and storm drain systems. They keep our roads clear of snow, streets clean in the summer, maintain our parks and flowerbeds, maintain the City’s cemetery, pick up our garbage, and manage our landfill. Currently, this work is done out of 11 different buildings spread throughout the City. The two main locations beside the Johnston Bridge are on the floodplain; in the event of a flood our crews would have to move all their equipment to higher ground first before being able to do their job of protecting the City.

In 2001, the Council of the day decided it was time to replace the aged out public works buildings, but it took until 2013 before a Council (under the previous Mayor) purchased the old soccer fields on Sword Road for this purpose. No significant investments were made in the current facilities during this time and the cost of building a replacement yard grew every year. The current Council has decided to get on with the long overdue job of building a new facility.

There are three main reasons Council has decided to act now: the price of a replacement facility will simply keep escalating; we have a financial plan to make the debt payments without a tax increase; and, investing now will allow us to create local employment at a time when the general economy is weak. The proposed timeline for this project would see us begin to build the new facility next year just as the Arena project winds down.

Some have suggested an appropriate price for this project should be $6.5 million not the up to $10 million we are asking permission to borrow. In reality, the main public works building in the proposed project is estimated at about $5.8 million. The rest of the costs are associated with yard development and much needed storage facilities; there is also a $1 million contingency built into the project estimate. We are working with our local contracting community to ensure that the actual cost of building a replacement facility will be below the borrowing authority we are asking for.

I hope you will make an informed decision in this matter. For more detailed information about this project visit: www.quesnel.ca/pwfacility.html.

If you’ve already voted and feel you did not make an informed decision one of the benefits of the reverse petition process is that you can reverse your vote by simply dropping in to City Hall and signing the appropriate form.

Distracted driving is responsible for approximately one quarter of all fatal crashes in B.C.

Each year, on average, 15 people are killed in distracted driving-related crashes in the North.

Most drivers understand that using their phone increases their risk of crashing yet many still do it. That’s why ICBC, police and the B.C. government are teaming up to launch a month-long distracted driving campaign in March.

According to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, the odds of crashing increase by � ve times when using your phone, whether dialing, texting, reading or using social media.

Police are ramping up their enforcement of distracted driving across the province. Cell Watch volunteers will be roadside, reminding drivers to leave their phones alone. And ICBC road safety coordinators will be attending community events with a driving simulator the public can try.

You can take a stand against distracted driving and encourage others to do the same by picking up a free decal to display on your vehicle at ICBC driver licensing of� ces and participating Autoplan broker of� ces.

The campaign features radio advertising and digital advertising which will appear online as well as in restaurants and bars. You can view an infographic on this month’s distracted driving campaign at icbc.com.

“Distracted driving remains a serious concern and we’re committed to taking steps to make our roads safer for everyone,” said Mike Morris, Minister of Public Safety and Solicitor General. “Police across B.C. are doing their part

to change behaviours by enforcing the law and we can all do our part by letting every phone call or text wait until we reach our destination,” Mike Morris, Minister of Public Safety and Solicitor General said.

“Safety on our highways and in our communities is our top priority,” said Todd Stone, Minister of Transportation and Infrastructure.

“You’re � ve times more likely to crash if you’re using your phone while driving so leave your phone alone and stay focused on the road.”

“B.C. drivers know it’s against the law, but far too many still make excuses for their behaviour, and put themselves and others at risk by using their phone while driving,” said Chief Constable Neil Dubord, Chair of the B.C. Association of Chiefs of Police Traf� c Safety Committee. “That’s why we’re cracking down on those who cannot police themselves. Even when you’re at a red light or in slow moving traf� c – you’re still in control of a vehicle – and the law still applies.”

Lindsay Matthews, ICBC’s director responsible for road safety.

“Distracted driving

puts everyone on the road at risk - it’s one of the leading causes of crashes with pedestrians, cyclists and motorcyclists,” said Lindsay Matthews, ICBC’s director responsible for road safety. “Ipsos Reid recently conducted a survey for us and found that 34 per cent of cellphone owners

said they use their phone between one and � ve times out of every 10 driving trips. It’s time we all commit to leaving our phones alone and avoiding other forms of distraction when we’re behind the wheel.”

Regional statistics:Every year, on

average, 27 people are killed in

distracted driving-related crashes in the Lower Mainland.

Every year, on average, 10 people are killed in distracted driving-related crashes on Vancouver Island.

Every year, on average, 31 people are killed in distracted driving-related crashes in the Southern Interior.

Three women and a host of volunteers brought the dream of a fundraiser to help Syrian refugees to fruition, March 5 at the CNC/UNBC campus.

Soup for Syria was a master-ful accomplishment where more than 50 volunteers, 33 varieties of soup, 30 individu-ally decorated tables by 30 different volunteers, locally-sourced sourdough bread and donated desserts and coffee created a powerful message that love can conquer fear and foster a strong sense of community all with a bowl of soup.

Many businesses, individuals and groups worked coop-eratively and joyfully and attendees donated generously to a total of $8,170.

Of this, the amount donated to PG Citizens for Refugee Support was $4,450, and an additional $1,000 was given

by four young Dragon Lake elementary students through their coin drive.

An additional $700 was raised for the Karam Founda-tion and two families were sponsored.

The remaining funds raised, $3,025, was donated speci� -cally at the event to support bringing a family to Quesnel.

A fund has been started at Integris Credit Union in Ques-nel which is now accepting donations.

It costs between $27,000 and $30,000 to privately sponsor a family.

The event clearly showed no crisis is too huge, too foreign, too complicated for people to change it, even in a small way through the impact of work-ing together for a common cause.

Perhaps the highlight of the evening was the inspirational presentation by Lejla Mu-

ratsphahic of living through the Bosnian war as a teenager.

Her sharing of the pain, fear and trauma of all that she experienced brought the audience to their feet and a standing ovation.

During the event, local artist Lee Anne Chisholm created a live painting titled Love Over Fear. The painting hangs in Integris Credit Union and the public is invited to bid on it.

Musicians, poets and other artists also contributed their talents to the evening.

Amy Quarry, Amanda Wool-lends and Janette Parkinson guided this dream to its suc-cessful conclusion and have plans to hold other events to continue their quest of bringing a Syrian family to Quesnel.

CAPSULE COMMENTSSafeway

With Jessica Joly B.Sc. (Pharm)If you have ever visited some Asian countries, you may find you have to squat to use the bathroom facilities. It’s an uncomfortable way to have a bowel movement but ironically it provides a clearer exit pathway and the muscles are more relaxed. There is a special device on the market that raises your feet as you sit on a normal toilet. It’s supposed to be the same as squatting.Marijuana is often painted as a safe drug. However, in teenagers it can be quite detrimental because their brains are still in development and the synapses are still making connections strengthened by the experiences they take part in. The “unfinished” brain makes teens more susceptible to wanting to carry on with the drug…more so than in an adult who starts the drug later in life.New Zealand and the U.S. are the only two countries in the world that allow drug companies to advertise directly to the consumer. Billions of dollars are spent on this form of promotion and there is a move to curtailing this type of advertising and direct some of this money into reducing the cost of medications.In the U.S. there has been a huge crackdown on health products that contain hidden ingredients not on the label. These products often claim to help “sexual enhancement” and weight loss. Health Canada in our country is always on the lookout for these types of products and will ban the sale if found. Many of these products can be found on-line. Remember: if it’s too good to be true, it is.If you are concerned about a product, talk to us. We will look into it for you.

The pilot of a recreational drone that forced waterbombers from smoke-filled skies around Oliver last summer was never located, but future offenders who impede forest firefighters will face higher fines.

Fines for 19 offences under the Wildfire Act, including interfering with wildfire protection efforts, are being increased to among the highest in Canada, Forests Minister Steve Thomson said Thursday.

The fine for failing to comply with fire restrictions such as campfire bans will increase from $345 to $1,150.

A new penalty of failing to comply with a stop-work order made because of fire risk will carry a maximum penalty of $100,000 and one year in prison.

Thomson

said there are “constitutional” issues with a proposal to seize vehicles from people who toss cigarette butts out the window while driving, but the province is still considering its options.

A proposal to ban people from B.C. parks if they violate campfire restrictions

is also being considered, but is not included in the current changes.

Thomson said the legislation will redefine “interference” with firefighters so it doesn’t mean intentional interference.

That would apply to boaters who blocked air tankers from filling with

water on Okanagan Lake, as well as the drone pilot who caused aircraft to land as vineyards, homes and a school around Oliver were threatened by fire.

Oliver Mayor Ron Hovanes the battle against two fires threatening the community last August were likely due to a recreational drone flown because

“somebody just wanted a closer look.

“It was very hard to drive by the airport and see helicopters quiet on the ground, no bombers in the air, all the while people were clinging to the hope that the fire wouldn’t reach their homes, their businesses,” Hovanes said.

My sister, my friend

Mary would have been 70 this year. She would have been a busy woman. Both

in her career as a social worker and her leisure time where she embraced curling (although she wasn’t all that good) weaving and certainly social-izing with her many friends.All her life she was like a second

mother to me (even though she was only four years older) and always offered advise (sometimes unwant-ed) support and countless sugges-tions on how to make my life better.It wasn’t until she died of cancer

in 1991 that I realized how vital all these things were to me.I had already come to appreciate

her unflagging interest and involve-ment in my life. She loved her nephews, all eight of them, kept in constant touch with her brother and sisters and her loving parents.Although this may sound as if she

was perfect, that was far from true. But her flaws made her human and she was well aware of her imperfec-tions.For many years I could still hear

her voice. I kept letters she’d sent me and remembered my life before she died.No one ever wants to lose a loved

one, however that process also makes you stronger, more empathet-ic to those who’ve lost their loved ones and reminds us how precious our family will always be.My sister and I still talk about our

lost sister and remember her with extreme affection.Mary never married, never had

children, but she lives on as we share her with our families frequent-ly.Mary, you are loved and remem-

bered. As we approach Relay for Life and later in the season The Women’s Fall Challenge, it’s a spe-cial time to reflect and hold close the memories of those who lost their battle with cancer. Fight on!

Annie Gallant, Cariboo Observer

As the B.C. govern-ment spends mil-lions on an interna-

tional brand campaign with the recycled slogan “Super, Natural B.C.,” another brand identity has spread across Canada.

This one’s unintentional. It hit a new peak last week with the arrival of two young men from Saskatch-ewan, who were given one-way tickets to Vancouver and Victoria by typically burdened social services ministry staff in North Bat-tleford.

Sorting through the bliz-zard of soothing sound bites and sympathetic TV clips, a clearer picture emerges.

In his initial interview with the Saskatoon Star-Phoenix, Charles Neil-Curly, at 23 the elder of the two, said he decided to head west when shelter staff told him his time had run out and he asked for bus tickets to B.C.

“When they asked if I had a place to go, I just said, ‘yeah’,” Neil-Curly said. “I was going to the next home-less shelter anyway.”

Transients and panhan-dlers aren’t the only ones who say whatever they figure will get them through another day. Politicians do

it too.Admitting she knew little

about the arrivals, Premier Christy Clark suggested that both were mentally ill and deserve every support the province can give them.

B.C. housing czar Rich Coleman has also demon-strated factual flexibility as he presides over the creation of his latest single-room-occupancy drug ghetto in a residential neighbourhood in Victoria.

After quietly proposing a closed-down nursing home called Mount Edwards Court as a temporary solu-tion to the filthy “tent city” that sprang up on provincial property last fall, Coleman abruptly announced from his Langley office Feb. 5 that the building had been bought and partly renovat-ed for $4 million. It would house 38 people for up to

a year.I asked him if the pur-

chase meant the conversion of Mount Edwards into permanent “low-barrier” housing for 100 people was a “done deal,” as area residents believe. “They’re wrong,” Coleman indig-nantly replied, and there would be community con-sultation over the next year.

In subsequent comments to reporters, he said the province doesn’t really need city zoning, but will apply for it anyway. (That won’t be a problem with Victoria’s far-left city council, which is keen to add a supervised injection site too.)

On Feb. 24, Coleman was asked if he is concerned that the 88 housing units at two locations would fill up and other transients would arrive to take their place. By that time the tent squat appeared to have about 100 people in residence, with the usual overdoses, violence and prostitution.

Coleman assured us it hasn’t happened in Abbots-ford or Maple Ridge, where tent camps have finally been cleaned up after shelters and housing were provided.

The next day, he was asked if transitional accom-

modations would be suf-ficient to end the camp.

“They’re not actually all that transitional,” Cole-man replied. “We’ll take Mount Edwards through a zoning process. We’ve got about 100 beds there. We’ve bought the building so it’s hardly transitional. We’ve permanently done that.”

Fast forward to March 11. The 38 Mount Edwards spaces are full, another 40 rooms and camping spaces at a former youth custody centre are almost full, and the province applies for a court order to clear the Victoria camp. 

A representative of the advocacy group Together Against Poverty Society goes on local radio to pledge le-gal support for the campers. How many are there now? At least 100, he says.

Meanwhile in Maple Ridge, where the “home-less” problem is all fixed, Coleman has just extended temporary shelter funding and paid $5.5 million for a 61-room motel to fix it some more.

Editor:Open letter to the

Minister of Education.For the past several

years, the Quesnel School District has faced mounting financial pressures which have ultimately led to investigate potential school closures in order to ensure balanced budgets in the near future.

At the February 17 Board of Education meeting, trustees voted unanimously that a letter be written to the Minister of Education and other partner groups to convey frustration and displeasure regarding the downloading of

unfunded costs to school districts within the province of British Columbia.

Three examples impacting the 2015 – 16 Budget are noted below.

The submission of the 2015-16 amended budget for which the cost pressures facing our district were highlighted, also comes on the heels of the provincial announcement for funding of the 2016 – 17 school year which provides little expectation of an increase in per-pupil funding.

First, our district had an “administrative savings” of $202,000

taken from our operating grant which came primarily from reducing both the Manager of Transportation and Manager of Finance positions from full-time to part-time.

This savings amount also led to a reduction in non-enrolling resource teacher time and loss in custodial time due to lost programs.

These administrative savings will further be felt in the 2016 – 2017 year as an additional $177,000 of administrative savings has been mandated.

Secondly, as per the previous letter written to

the Minister of Education in December, the board was disappointed the thaw of the wage freeze for some exempt staff, and subsequent salary increase was unfunded by the ministry.

Finally, the Next Generation Network upgrade was a mandated conversion and while we understand the benefits that will come from the upgrade, the costs are still being downloaded to school districts and place a significant burden on an already tight operating budget.

For the Quesnel School District, $83,000 was taken in July 2015 for

the set-up fee, another $76,000 is to be taken on or before March 2016 and it is anticipated that an additional $80,000 will be needed to do upgrades within our school to ensure compatibility.

This amounts to $239,000 coming out of the 2015 – 16 operating budget alone.

Based on just the financial pressures noted above, the Quesnel School District must fund more than $500,000 in unplanned costs in this school year.

This does not include additional cost pressures due to increased costs to

MSP, hydro and other inflationary costs.

In light of the above however, the board is pleased that the ministry has committed to allow districts to keep and repurpose the savings that will be realized in the 2016 – 17 budget from reduced employer contributions to the teacher pension plan.

We are also pleased to see that there was a $34 million increase in the K-12 capital projects budget which we hope Quesnel can benefit from due to the aging schools in the district.

City of Quesnel employees, their families and friends have participated in Relay for Life for at least 10 years and 2016 is no exception. They are looking forward to the changes to the event and feel it will enhance the

team spirit they have always brought to their participation.“Having it condensed to � ve hours � ts people’s busy schedules,” team captain Kari

Bolton said.She is still working hard to encourage city staff to join the City Slickers team, but is

con� dent they will have a minimum of 10 members.“We encourage spouses, children, friends and are sure our fundraising efforts will

meet the $150/member goal,” she added.During the interview the three team members in attendance were pleased to hear

about the community dinner planned for the event and all agreed they’d be there. They are already discussing how they plan to decorate their tent and City Slicker Nancy Coe was excited about � guring out team costumes.

Each person who signs up for Relay has their own reasons, for Bolton her grandmother died of breast cancer which they were assured if it had been diagnosed earlier she could have survived.

For Coe it was also very personal.“I watched my father die of liver cancer,” she sadly said.“I’ve also witnessed friends being diagnosed with cancer and some have passed

away.”For City Slicker Tanya Turner she lost her mother to lung cancer in 2006.“I joined the city Relay team right after that,” she said.Bolton said she’s sure everyone has been touched by cancer in some way and

encourages other to join the � ght and form a Relay team.“We’re really looking

forward to the event,” she said.

“It’s fun and a great way to raise money for an incredibly worthy cause. We challenge other organizations and other city departments to join us or form their own teams.”

Bolton said they’ve extended the invitation to mayor and council to join

the team and so far one councillor has already signed up with City Slickers.Relay for Life is slated for May 27 in Baker Creek Park from 5 – 11 p.m. The

half-kilometre paved track, which team members walk, winds its way through the park. Organizers are busy � nalizing details of the activities planned including the community dinner.

Teams can sign up by registering online, relayforLife.ca/quesnel. This is the easiest

method and it also allows team members to challenge their friends and family and the community at large to donate online, donors get their tax receipts electronically and almost immediately after making their donation.

Even if your not participating on a team, drop by Baker Creek Park and join the fun, there’s something for everyone on Relay day.

Quesnel Film Club’s last film in their winter series, The Legend of Barney Thomson, March 17, 6:30 p.m. at the Carib Theatre, is an audacious and inspiring movie based on the first novel in Douglas Lindsay’s seven-part Barney Thomson series.

Directed (directorial debut) and starring Scottish-born Robert Carlyle, The Leg-end of Barney Thomson is a darkly comic thriller about a downtrodden mild-mannered Glaswegian barber whose mundane life is turned upside down when he inadvertently finds himself embroiled in a rash of serial murders.

Carlyle stars as the socially awkward Barney, whose dark fantasies become a startling

reality after the murder. Rather than reporting the

incident to the police, Barney turns to his hilariously fierce mother Cemolina (Emma Thompson) for help – but Cemolina has a secret of her own, which leads to a chain of unexpected events.

While the hapless haircutter clumsily tries to cover both his and his mother’s tracks, police inspector Holdall (Ray Winstone) fights his own bat-tles within his inept homicide department as he tries to solve the crime of the century.

A black, bloody (and bloody hilarious) comedy of errors, The Legend of Barney Thom-son brings Lindsay’s long-run-ning series to vivid cinematic life.

Outfitted with a ratty fur coat, a hideous wig and re-markable aging makeup, the always wonderful Thompson steals every scene she’s in as Barney’s indomitable mother, while director and star Carlyle demonstrates that he is just as adept behind the camera as he is in front of it.

Deliciously dark and savagely funny, this movie is sure to leave audiences in stitches.

Tickets for The Legend of Barney Thomson are $9 (regular) and $7 (seniors). For information on the Quesnel Film Club call 250-747-7422 or 250-747-3979, join the Facebook page at Quesnel Film Club or visit www.quesnelfilmclub.ca.

The Quesnel Lacrosse Associa-tion (QLA) held an all-girls clinic March 3 at Lakeview elementary school.

The clinic was instructed by Naomi Walser, who is a former player that represented Canada at the 1994 Commonwealth Games and has also played in four field lacrosse World Cup competitions, two for team Canada (1995 and 1997) and also the Haudeno-saunee national team (2009 and 2013).

President of the QLA, Lisa Scott says girls lacrosse is starting to get big.

“There is just a huge push for girls lacrosse right now,” Scott said.

“We wanted to try to get more development and get the girls playing.”

She says they want to add more girls team because of the benefits that are available to them.

“There is a lot of opportunities through scholarships for girls, so it’s nice to have Naomi come up from the Island and help promote this,” Scott said.

She also added that Walser has been huge when it comes to devel-opment for lacrosse throughout the province.

The QLA will be hosting a fun-draising show at Billy Barker Casi-no March 17, featuring an AC/DC cover band. Tickets are $30 each and are available at the casino or by calling Scott at 250-991-2897 or email at [email protected]. Doors open at 6 p.m.

The Gold Pain City Derby Girls are a well known roller derby team in Quesnel but there is also a junior team, the Gold Nug-gets who are entering their fifth year.

The Gold Nuggets are for girls from seven – 17 years of age, who enjoy the sport of roller derby.

Currently, they have 19 members which is the second larg-est team in Western Canada for junior girls. Parent, Fritz Wyssen says it is a great sport for the girls to get involved with because it gives them confidence.

“Once girls and more importantly the parents see how the girls interact at a sport level they can see the benefits from that,” Wyssen said.

“They learn team skills probably more than any other sport I’ve seen.”

He adds that the girls don’t even real-ize the score when the games are completed because of how much fun they are having.

“That’s not the im-portant part to them at all,” Wyssen said.

“The important part is they’ve worked hard and had fun.”

Wyssen says the sport provides a so-cial aspect along with the physical fitness.

“They work togeth-er as a team,” Wyssen said.

“When they work together it really works on those social interaction skills as well as it being a very physical sport.”

They are coached by Jennifer Bird a member of the Gold Pain City Derby Girls, who brings her expe-

rience and love of the sport to help develop the girls’ derby skills.

The Gold Nuggets are always taking new members and allow people to come and check out their practices. More information is avail-able at https://www.facebook.com/GoldNuggetsJuniorRollerDerby/?fref=ts.

March 13 - 19, 2016ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20A recent development may bring you luck and turn out in your favor, Aries. If financial deals seem lucrative, go ahead and trust your instincts to move ahead.

TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21Taurus, maintaining a long-distance relationship or friendship can be challenging, but you have what it takes to make the most of the situation.

GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21Gemini, fun is ahead if you are willing to take some risks. Take a chance and hang out with a new crowd this week. These might be just the people to add some hop to your step.

CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22This is a terrific week to sit down and talk with someone you have not seen in a while, Cancer. Enjoy this reunion and all the laughs that come with strolling down Memory Lane.

LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23Your love life may take an exciting turn, Leo. Prepare for what’s ahead by letting someone else take control for a little while. Expect something to happen out of the blue.

VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22Virgo, you may feel a bit more free now that you have unburdened yourself of some debts. Enjoy this newfound financial freedom but remember to watch your spending.

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23You are feeling helpful and generous this week, Libra. Spread that spirit to others who may be less fortunate than you by volunteering at a soup kitchen or pitching in elsewhere.

SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22Scorpio, joint ventures are the way to go this week. Pooling your resources provides the chance for you and a friend to go bigger and better on something you both want to do.

CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20Capricorn, it is important to speak your mind, even when you are not sure how your opinions will be received. Share your opinions and ask others for theirs.

AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18Aquarius, communication is your best bet this week. Make an effort to speak openly with loved ones and you will be glad for having made the extra effort.

RYAN GRAHAMObserver Reporter

Quesnel is passion-ate about the sport of hockey and that’s not only on the ice. Correlieu secondary school hosts a floor hockey intramural league, which allows students to improve their hockey skills and have fun while doing it.

This year the league has 11 teams, includ-ing one girls team with more than 100 students and staff participating. Aaron Kainth a student at Correlieu says he be-came interested in the league in Grade 10.

“There was a lot of hype in Grade 10 and since then I have become addicted to it,” Kanith said.

He adds that he en-joys the competition, but also he is able to play hockey with his friends.

“When we’re play-ing we really try our hardest,” Kanith said.

“Our team is based on all of our friends not the competition. If we’re not good it doesn’t matter be-cause it’s our buddies we are playing with. Winning is not every-thing for us.”

There is also a replica Stanley Cup, which was created by students in 2006 that will be played for the championship on May 19.

With a large num-ber of students com-peting in the intramu-ral league it shows the school spirit that is at Correlieu.

Correlieu school spirit alive and well

A group of students from Correlieu high school watch their peers play a game, as one of their classmates holds a replica Stanley Cup that the students will compete for on May 19.
