AUTUMN MacDONALDObserver Reporter

Cariboo motorists are urged keep an extra close eye out for wildlife during the months of October and November.

“Although a collision with wildlife can hap-pen at any place and at any time, on Cariboo roads, there is a sharp spike in wildlife vehicle collisions that begins in October,” Regional Manager, B.C. Conservation Foundation Barb Waters said.

“The critical times to watch for wildlife on the roads are between 6 – 8 a.m. and 5 – 8 p.m.”

Drivers are particularly advised to watch out for moose, deer and other animals on local roads, especially Highway 97 from 100 Mile House to Quesnel, which has been identi� ed as having a very high number of deer vehicle col-lisions. There can be up to two or three wildlife collisions every day in October and November.

According to ICBC statistics there are more than 900 animal collisions every year in the Cariboo area. Annually in northern B.C., about three people are killed and 140 people are in-jured in wildlife collisions.

The Wildlife Collision Prevention Program of-fers the following hints for the highway:

• Both drivers and passengers must actively watch for wildlife on the road and roadside area.

• People think of the road as a dangerous place, but in fact, animals are often attracted to the road and roadside area. Drive expecting to see wildlife.

• During the rutting season animals are fre-quently on the move and vehicles might be the last thing on their minds.

• Animals don’t think or perceive danger the same way that humans do. They may not recog-nize a vehicle as dangerous or a horn as a warn-ing or even if they do, they may not react safely.

• Animals are unpredictable in their behaviour and may bolt in front of a vehicle or cross and then immediately re-cross the road.

• Deer are often seen in groups, so if there is one animal there are usually more. The deer you are watching may not be the one that poses the threat; it may be the second or third deer fol-lowing behind that causes the problem.

Gold Pan native Vagn Moore, a Jazz studies

student at Vancouver Island University (VIU) is coaxing beautiful sounds from a classic grand piano generously donated by a Nanoose Bay family.

A Heintzman grand piano was delivered to VIU as a donation by B. Ellesmere Hugh and is available to students in the Jazz Studies program

for practice, rehearsal and performance.

“This is an amazing and very generous donation and we are very grateful that the Hugh family thought of us when they decided to � nd a new home for this � ne instrument,” chair and instructor in Jazz Studies Bryan Stovell said.

A friend of the Hugh family, Nanaimo lawyer Rod Mont, made the

suggestion to the Hughs to consider donating the piano to VIU when they moved from their home.

Mont joined President and Vice Chancellor Dr. Ralph Nilson, Arts and Humanities Dean Ross Mackay and Stovell to welcome the new piano to VIU and hear a few songs played by Jazz Music student Vagn Moore.

Moore is a second year Jazz Studies student from

Quesnel, focusing his studies on piano. He also

plays alto saxophone and guitar and looks forward to having access to the new grand piano.

“I’m really happy about the new piano and I look forward to playing it during my remaining years at VIU,” he said.

“I also sing and play alto saxophone and guitar – I want to develop my musical skills and become a professional performing musician.”

B.C. on the Move

In the Cariboo, our livelihoods depend on access to roads and highways. Transportation and improving access to our roads have never been more important than they are now.

Our government has announced that we are developing a new 10-year provincial transportation plan, “B.C. on the Move”, and is inviting all British Columbians to share their ideas to improve future improvements in areas such as North Cariboo and surrounding rural regions.

Engaging with the public is one of our top priorities, and that is why we’ve provided you with the opportunity to review the online Discussion Guide that can be downloaded here: http://engage.gov.bc.ca/transportationplan/and will run until December 12th.

You will be able to see an outline of accomplishments and highlights of strategies moving forward, and it may even start the ignition to ideas of your own. Following this, a website will launch on December 14th and then the final B.C. on the Move plan will be released to British Columbians in the new year.

We look forward to hearing from British Columbians as our government develops this short and long-term strategy plan that will benefit our province over the next decade and well into the future. We hope to continually look at strategies to enhance the safe and reliable movements of goods and people, growing the economy, and connecting and strengthening communities such as ours.

With the resurfacing of Highway 97 completed by the end of this month, the paving completion on Plywood Hill, and safety improvements made to the Cariboo Connector – we are traveling in the right direction, but we still haven’t reached our destination. There is still room for improvement, such as the need of a new truck route in Quesnel. Our office has forms available to request this truck route or feel free to call 1-866-991-0296 for more information.

Through this discussion, we can build a new plan that will benefit and improve transportation in our region and across the province. A plan that will reflect the transportation priorities of families, communities and commercial motorists. We look forward to hearing from you and we are eager to advocate for a transportation strategy that reflects your priorities in the Cariboo region that is second to none.

Ready, set … let’s go!

The bypass is a necessityIt has

been a year since

we moved to town.

I did not think I would adapt that quick, but I did. Living in a town or just shopping there is a big difference.

We walk or ride our bikes, something we could not do when we lived on the Barkerville Highway and we have learned the short cuts. There are a lot of things one never does when just shopping here like going to West Fraser Park or have the time to look closer at the funny fire hydrants or going to a movie on the spur of a moment.

One thing I never thought about was the highway going right through town and the need for a bypass. Several people have asked

me to write about that, so here goes.

Living in North Quesnel, I can sometimes hear when railway cars are being shuffled around, but

only when I’m in the back yard.

A while ago I became aware that we lived between a highway and a railway. I also realized that dangerous goods are shipped via both transportation systems. Which means that if an accident would occur with vehicles carrying dangerous goods on the North side of town the only way out will be via the narrow bridge before Dragon Lake hill.

I don’t think it will be a pretty scene when the town has to be evacuated in a hurry. The same is true

when something goes wrong with the railway it will be a crazy situation when everybody tries to get on the narrow Front street in order to get on to the flats.

Unfortunately that is not all, I have been told by hospital personnel that the hospital vibrates when heavily loaded trucks go through town. The same is true for the Fraserview Medical building to which I can testify. I also have been told that cracks are occurring on Front street north of the Fraserview Medical building.

However one looks at it, all the buildings on each side of Front street are not far from the highway or the Fraser River.

I wonder if the constant vibration when heavy trucks go through town will eventually result in a possible slide towards the river, or if a dangerous goods spill occurs if there

are any evacuation plans for the hospital or the citizens.

The possibility of oil or dangerous goods spilling in the river is another aspect that requires thought.

With the increasing traffic to the north eastern part of this province the chances of an accident also have increased.

I think a truck bypass is becoming a necessity instead of a possibility.

I wonder if our MLA, Coralee Oakes, could persuade this government to put a bypass on the priority list.

After all the $100 million given to the pulp industry could have built all, if not most of this bypass which I think should have been more of a priority especially if the loss of human life is a possibility.

Hands up. That famous command is attributed to

Bill Miner, an American career criminal who is also credited with B.C.’s first train robbery, at Silverdale on the Mission border in 1910.

A more genteel, and of course perfectly legal, trackside transfer of wealth is underway in the B.C. legislature. It’s called the Canadian Pacific Railway (Stone and Timber) Settlement Act, and it provides for taxpayers to hand over $19 million to CP Rail to settle a lawsuit over historic logging, rock and gravel rights given to B.C.’s pioneering railway builders.

Students of B.C. history will know that while Bill Miner got the headlines, it was the early coal, lumber and railway barons who really made out like bandits. And CP Rail inherited some of this by 1912 when it took over three early railways that had been granted vast tracts of provincial Crown land.

Deputy Premier Rich Coleman revealed the settlement in the legislature this month. It seems that when CP Rail took over the B.C. Southern Railway

Company, the Columbia and Kootenay Railway and Navigation Company and the Columbia and Western Railway Company, there were some clerical errors along the way.

“I am pleased that Canadian Pacific Railway and the province have recently reached an agreement regarding the disputed ownership and value of timber and stone rights on 145,000 hectares of Crown land and 68,000 hectares of private land in the Kootenay and Okanagan regions,” Coleman told the legislature.

“The province granted land to three railway companies between 1892 and 1908 to subsidize railway construction. These railway companies reserved timber and stone rights for their own use when they sold the land to

third parties in the early 1900s. These reservations were not recognized in many subsequent land transactions, and many of them were not registered in the current land title system.”

These discrepancies came to light in the early 2000s. They involve some 1,600 properties, so you can imagine the lawyer fees that would be accumulated to sort through those in court. And Coleman’s statement suggests that the government has conceded its records are in error, rather than those of the railways.

Given the Wild West ways of B.C.’s early settlement and railway development, it’s not surprising there were some loose ends. For a fascinating look at this period, I recommend Barrie Sanford’s book Steel Rails and Iron Men (Whitecap Books, 1990).

Sanford recounts the fateful decision of the CPR to turn north at Medicine Hat and push Canada’s defining railway through the Kicking Horse Pass, leaving the mineral-rich Kootenay region open to competitors for rail freight service.

A key figure of those days

is James Dunsmuir, who inherited his family coal fortune and served as B.C. premier from 1900 to 1902. He ended up owning a large part of Vancouver Island in exchange for building the Esquimalt and Nanaimo Railway, which he sold to the CPR in 1905, the same year he locked out miners in his coal operations for their push to organize a union.

Dunsmuir’s hard line provided a boost for a rival, James Jerome Hill, who built the Great Northern Railway in the 1890s and later quit the CPR board in a bitter feud. Hill was happy to supply coal from Fernie.

Dunsmuir took a turn as B.C.’s eighth Lieutenant Governor, sold his coal business and retired to his estate, Hatley Castle, which is now part of Royal Roads University.

He is buried at Victoria’s Ross Bay Cemetery. As Halloween approaches, it’s easy to imagine a chuckle from his grave as the railway barons once again rake it in.

One last holdup on railway tracks

B.C. ViewsTom Fletcher

Be preparedThere are going to be some

residents who question why the Interior Health Authority

is putting resources into Ebola response.How can the disease that’s infecting

and killing thousands in western Africa show up in the Okanagan?However, consider that there have

been confirmed cases in Texas while there have been several individuals across Canada tested for Ebola-like symptoms.We live in a world that is

increasingly small, with local residents travelling well beyond our valley for employment, recreation and humanitarian efforts. As an example, the North Okanagan-Shuswap School District recently agreed to students going to China because the original destination was Ghana, which has been impacted by Ebola.It’s entirely reasonable to think

that someone from here may be in western Africa or another destination, such as Texas, where Ebola is present.As a result, IHA has to be prepared

for someone with Ebola-like symptoms to walk into a hospital, including in Vernon. What will the initial response be from medical personnel?Where will the patient be

quarantined from everyone else? What resources will be needed in an Interior community to ensure the patient is treated properly and sufficient steps are taken to prevent the possible spread if Ebola is diagnosed?The B.C. Nurses Union has

raised alarm bells about the health authority’s ability to handle a case of Ebola, and as health care professionals, nurses provide a wealth of expertise. But everyone at the table — doctors, nurses, technicians, etc. — need to work co-operatively instead of finger-pointing or pursuing individual mandates.Obviously we hope Ebola does not

arrive in the North Okanagan, but if it does, all of us, residents and medical personnel, need to ensure we are prepared.

Editor:On the heels of the

recent highway lane improvement downtown here along Carson Avenue and the upcoming local elections, here are two suggestions that I am hoping our local planners and politicians take into consideration as possible ways to continue to improve traffic flow and safety in the Quesnel area.

The first is the long-suffering industrial truck route that would run beside Cariboo Pulp, crossing the

Quesnel River at the most cost-effective site, then continuing on to connect at the Highway 97, Barkerville Highway junction.

This route would be for mandatory for industrial vehicles only: logging trucks, semis, chip trucks etc.

All other vehicles would use the regular highway 97 route through town, including RVs. This would do a lot to improve safety and air quality in the downtown core and protect downtown

businesses from economic loss of traffic. This has been discussed at length and now it’s time to act on it.

The second suggestion is to deal with the traffic congestion at the Museum, RCMP, BC Rail and Marsh Drive intersection. This is a new concept that bears consideration.

The roundabout system in traffic flow is used to great effect in many places around the world and I think it could be useful at this horribly

inefficient intersection. We already have an

efficient roundabout of sorts at the south end of the Johnston Bridge so Quesnelites know what they look like.

Obviously the museum Roundabout, as I call it, would be a larger project but one that I think in time would do a lot to improve traffic flow in the downtown and West Side corridors.

If the truck route came to pass, there would be less traffic at that intersection making it

easier for fewer vehicles to use the roundabout.

I realize these are big projects that require considerable planning and critical thinking.

Whatever happens in the November elections, I am hoping that these suggestions are in the discussion somewhere.

With a sitting MLA on the government side, I am hoping the province will step up and help the truckers move their products more efficiently through the Quesnel area.

I know for certain that the Quesnel bottleneck is a nightmare for the north south shipment of goods.

We all know that.The industrial truck

route would do much to cut down on the time it takes to get through Quesnel for us all and Front Street seniors would be crowing about it for years.

Thanks for your consideration, one and all. Good luck, candidates.

Genetics and their role in impacting cancer risk can be

a daunting subject. Not only is it easy to get

lost in science-speak, but sometimes the subject can bring up fears in people who feel they are ‘doomed’ because a family mem-ber had cancer. But did you know that only a few cancers – between � ve and 10 per cent – are caused by inheriting a gene mutation? So, what’s a gene mutation? I recently found an explana-tion on the Canadian Can-cer Society’s website, cancer.ca, that made the entire topic a little less complex.

All cancers are caused by a permanent change in, or damage to, one or more genes.

A change in a gene is called a gene mutation. A mutation in a gene changes the instructions it gives to the body and stops it from working properly, which

can upset normal develop-ment or cause a medical condition. Gene mutations have varying effects on health but can cause cells to grow out of control and contribute to cancer devel-oping.

Each cell has the ability to spot changes in DNA and � x them before they are passed on to new cells. Sometimes a cell’s ability to make these repairs fails and the change is passed on to new cells.

The cells that have dam-aged DNA are more likely to become cancerous. Sev-

eral mutations usually have to occur before a normal cell changes into a cancer-ous one.

Some cancers are due to the genes we are born with. Other cancers are due to gene changes that happen during our lifetime.

Sporadic (acquired) can-cers are due to mutations that happen as we get older or because of age, chance or something we are exposed to (carcinogen). Sometimes these mutations are errors that occur during cell divi-sion.

They can also be caused by something that damages the cell’s DNA. Mutations can affect the structure of the gene and stop it from working properly. The ma-jority of cancers are sporad-ic (caused by acquired gene mutations).

Only a few cancers (again, about � ve to 10 per cent) are caused by inherit-ing a certain gene muta-

tion. These are commonly referred to as inherited (hereditary) cancers, but this term is not very accurate. Cancer cannot be inherited. Instead, a particular gene mutation is inherited.

This mutation makes a person more susceptible or predisposed to developing cancer. Although inheriting the mutation increases the risk of developing cancer, it does not always mean that a person will de� nitely get cancer during their lifetime.

Often with hereditary cancers, the person who develops cancer tends to develop it at an earlier age than the rest of the popula-tion.

I encourage you to visit cancer.ca to � nd out more about genetics and their impact on your cancer risk. It’s not as daunting as you may have thought.

Kersley Musical Theatre is hard at work on The Fantasticks, with opening night (Nov . 2) coming up quickly.

Last minute touches to costumes, bits and pieces of props to paint, assemble, organize then try, reject and look again. Where in the world can we get denim coveralls in the right size? Does anyone have a ladder with steps on both sides? Who can sew? Let’s try this.

We are having a great response in ticket sales and are grateful to the public who will get to see some astounding performance skills from this quality band of actors.

We’ve been rehearsing in two places, the United Church has been extremely generous in loaning space and once the Kersley Players were done their Festival we’ve been in to the Kersley Hall. Walking in to the Kersley Hall for the � rst time was de� nitely a feeling of coming home.

We are proud to be able to present this as a fundraiser for our dear friend Bev Pontius. She’s been able to attend a few of the rehearsals and enjoys watching the show come together. She’s known some of the actors since they were in diapers and has been an integral part of the musical skills they’ve acquired.

Tickets are available at the Quesnel Info Centre by the Museum, Kersley General Store and Bo-Peep Boutique, $20 each. The matinee is Nov. 2, 2 p.m. and the evening shows will have the door open at 7 p.m., 7:30 p.m. showtime. A concession will be available, with homemade goodies. See you there.

Thanks to a grant from the Quesnel Community Foundation, the Friends of the Quesnel Museum were able to hire a con-servator who specializes in industrial artifacts to

assess the equipment on the Riverfront Trail and prepare a maintenance

plan. Carl Schlichting visited Quesnel and Barkerville in June

this year. His report is already having an

impact, helping to guide the work contracted by Public Works. When you next walk the trail, ad-

mire the shiny new paint on the centrifugal pump and the steam shovel in Ceal Tingley Park. Even more important for the long term preservation

of these relics of our region’s mining history,

wooden caps on the pump were replaced with steel plates to

prevent water from get-ting inside and a proper

foundation is under construction to support

the steam shovel.Contributed photo

REMEMBERTO RECYCLE


Don’t let your operating costs leave you in the cold this winter. As a small business, you probably want to focus on making money. FortisBC can help reduce your operating costs with no-cost and low-cost energy saving tips to help lower your monthly natural gas bill and reduce your environmental footprint. If you’re in the position to upgrade space and water heating systems or commercial cooking equipment, FortisBC also offers rebates on high-effi ciency models.

Small actions can add up to savings Think about cutting costs where you won’t notice it. If your business uses natural gas for heating or cooking, here are some easy tips from FortisBC to help you save energy and money.

Save hot water

■ Fix leaky taps and install water-saving aerators on kitchen and bathroom faucets.

■ If running a commercial kitchen consider installing a low-fl ow spray valve to pre-rinse dishes. These devices use approximately 50 per cent less water than standard types.

■ If you can access your hot water pipes, wrap them with foam or rubber pipe insulation to prevent heat loss.

Save heat

■ Install a programmable thermostat and program it to 20 °C when at work and no more than 17 °C when no one is there.

■ Your space could stay warm for up to an hour before the heating system needs to kick in again, so why not program your thermostat to turn down the heat an hour before you close shop.

■ If you operate a street front business, don’t leave the door open on cold days as it’ll push all your heated air out the door.

Upgrading can save you two waysWhen it’s time to upgrade, check out FortisBC’s rebates for high-effi ciency boilers, water heaters and cooking equipment. In addition to the rebate, you’ll experience ongoing savings on your natural gas bill with more effi cient appliances installed. If you’re not sure what upgrade is right for your business, consider a free consultation from a business energy advisor. It’s all part of how FortisBC is helping businesses save energy and money.

Chamber membership offers many benefits

With 226 Chamber members

in Quesnel and more than 36,000 Chamber members across British Columbia, the B.C. Chamber of Commerce is the largest and most broadly based business organization in B.C.

This volume of membership gives the Chamber of Commerce a powerful voice to advocate on behalf of business and allows it to provide numerous benefits to its members.

The B.C. Chamber partners with many companies to negotiate cheaper rates on merchant services, fuel and hotel discounts, email and newsletter services and payroll solutions services.

Many of these benefits have been successful at saving businesses money and time that would be better spent growing and promoting their business.

While these benefits are meant to support businesses, not all business models are able to take advantage of such benefits.

Local Chambers of Commerce then look to their community and members to find other benefits to provide its members.

The Quesnel Chamber of Commerce offers many programs and services to support businesses in the community such as quarterly luncheon meetings, a new partnership with CJ Directory for a member directory to highlight our members and plans for a Home and Outdoor Adventure Show in 2015.

The Chamber feels that a trade show is necessary to highlight the businesses in Quesnel and to showcase the products and services available in the area.

The programs and services offered locally provide our members with opportunities for advertising, networking and learning.

As the Chamber is always striving to improve its services and expand to include all sectors of business, we have implemented a 12@12 lunch session that we

believe will prove to be highly valuable in getting feedback on business needs in our community. Members are invited to lunch with Chamber Directors and engage in an open conversation on issues that create challenges or obstacles for their

business.This information

will be used to tailor programs and services to meet the needs of our members and to guide policy development.

Being a member of a Chamber of Commerce can benefit your business in numerous ways, not the least of which is being a part of your community and its development.

For more information on becoming a member and what your Chamber can do for you, feel free to call 250.992.7262, e-mail [email protected] or stop by the office at 335E Vaughan St anytime Monday to Friday, 9 a.m. – 4 p.m.

#IBOUGHTITINQUESNEL

ANNIE GALLANTObserver Reporter

When Tom Moffat enlisted in the air force at a mobile recruit-ing unit in Quesnel in 1942, he couldn’t have imagined, 72 years later he would be an honoured guest to remember the remark-able effort of the Allied Forces during Operation Market Garden (OMG), an airborne military op-eration fought in the Netherlands and Germany in mid-September 1944.

During the Second World War, all Allied Forces bomber crews were under the direction and con-trol of the British Royal Air Force (RAF) Bomber Command (BC) and that included Moffat who was assigned as a bomb aimer with a primarily British crew and � ew 11 missions in a four-engined heavy bomber Lancaster.

As 91-year-old Moffat was preparing for a solo trip to Africa he received an invitation to the Netherlands’ 70th Anniversary Commemorating Operation Market Garden. He was one of two Canadians invited to the celebrations. Only 10 honoured guests were invited including two British, two Americans, two Germans, two Polish and two Canadians which represented the cross-section of nations which participated in the OMG 70 years ago.

The offensive began on Sept. 17, 1944 with a plan devised by Field Marshall Montgomery to hasten the end of the war. In total, 35,000 U.S., Polish and British paratroopers were � own 63 miles behind German lines in an attempt to capture the bridges between Lommel in Belgium and Arnhem in Holland.

Although the operation was considered a failure, the Dutch people are eternally grateful to all the Allied Forces for their ef-forts to free the Netherlands and defeat the Germans.

Moffat remembers OMG as a distaster.

“In one mission, Montgomery dropped 5,000 paratroopers across the Rhine River to capture the Arnhem bridge before the Germans blew it up but support-ing British troops didn’t arrive in time and the Germans captured

and killed many paratroopers,” he said.

Despite those memories, he was thrilled to be invited to this auspicious com-memoration. Lorne Constantin-eau from Ontario, an army sergeant who participated in several of the OMG battles was the other hon-oured Canadian guest.

Celebrations including festivi-ties at six different battle sites.

However, before the commemora-tive activities began, Moffat was treated to a very special private celebration. He was met at his hotel by three Dutch Legion members including Harm Kuiiper who escorted Moffat to a soccer stadium where he had dropped food from his Lancaster bomber in April 1945.

“It was quite a thrill,” Moffat said.

“I remember we had to � y very low [20 feet from the ground] and almost didn’t make the drop because so many people were there and we were afraid of hurt-ing someone.”

The drops occurred during three days of amnesty to help the starv-ing Dutch people, he added.

“We dropped � ve tons of food at a time,” Moffat said.

“I was part of that because I was under RAF Bomber Com-mand. American and Polish bomber command also dropped food. People rushed from the stands to get the food and we were afraid we’d hit someone. We almost chose to drop the food in the street.”

Moffat said he was treated like royalty during his recent trip to the Netherlands, but during the war he said it was just his job to do what he did, along with all the other enlisted personnel.

“Delivering that food was a nice change but we were just doing as we were told to do,” he humbly said.

The people of the Netherlands see it differently and continue to keep their grati-tude and memo-ries alive with such celebrations.

One of the six sites was the re-creation of paratroopers and glider landings. They offered one of the honoured guests to take a glider ride and Moffat was the only one to vol-unteer.

“We went from zero to 100 km an hour in six seconds,” he said

with a smile.When asked if he was at all

frightened by this experience, Moffat responded with a twinkle in his eye.

“I wasn’t scared, I was con� dent and relaxed, it was great.”

While in the Netherlands, Mof-fat celebrated is 92nd birthday and received a huge card from his fellow honoured guests during one of the nightly banquets. At his table the night of his birthday was General M.J.M. VanUhm, Deputy Commander of the Royal Netherlands Army who handed Moffat a birthday gift.

“We were treated so well and felt very honoured to be a part of these celebrations of missions that were pivotal in ending the war,” Moffat said.

One very special moment for him was seeing the 98-year-old American honoured guest, James “Maggie” Megellas, the most highly decorated living American soldier, who led a re-enactment of the capturing of a bridge. Megel-las had led the original mission that captured that bridge in 1945.

Moffat holds the memories of this trip close to him but says he probably won’t accept any more invitations (one invitation was extended while he was in the Netherlands) claiming he’s getting too old, however he spoke fondly of his plans to visit Churchill, Manitoba to see the polar bears.

At 92, Moffat still honoured as WWII air force veteran

With Jessica Joly B.Sc. (Pharm)Eggs seem to be making a bit of a comeback from the bad books of nutrition. Eating an egg a day is no longer taboo. The yolks do contain some cholesterol but also some heathy nutrients like vitamins A and D, iron, zinc and folate.Social media repetitive stress injuries are becoming more and more common especially among teens. With some teens texting more than 3000 times per month, it’s no wonder some are experiencing pain in the thumbs, neck, shoulders and elbows. Texters are not about to stop doing it so good posture while texting is important. Sitting up straight and taking a break from it for a few minutes will help minimize the problem. If it persists, see a physiotherapist.Pharmacists often are asked about certain herbal medications and whether they are safe and effective for certain conditions. An example is the herb feverfew, a member of the daisy family and some have suggested it may help those with migraines. There is “fair” but not convincing evidence that it may help prevent migraines. However, it should be avoided in pregnancy and avoided for 2 weeks prior to surgery because it may affect blood clotting.Most pregnant women experience morning sickness during the first trimester although it often lasts longer than just mornings. Various non-drug treatments have been tried. These include acupuncture, chamomile, lemon oil, vitamin B6 and ginger. The evidence for ginger and B6 was greater (although still weak).Our pharmacists are familiar with these products. We’d be glad to help.

The Royal Canadian Legion, #94, will again be holding the Annual Poppy Campaign beginning on October 31, 2014.The money collected is put in a Public Trust Fund which is used to assist Veterans and their Dependents locally.If there are extra funds, they can be used to purchase medical equipment for hospitals or medical facilities, such as Dunrovin, where Veterans and the public would benefit.

Thank you for your support.Helene Boudreau--Poppy Chair

2015 Marks Our 50th anniversary

and we’re looking for new members to help make next years Rodeo Season Outstanding. If you enjoy the sport of rodeo,

here is your opportunity to become part of the action.

Rodeo Club

ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

LifestyLes

Did you ever wish you could try

pottery? Or acrylic painting? Or collage?

Now’s your chance. The Art Gallery is sponsoring a weekly seniors’ art gathering featuring qualified artists who are only too happy to bring their skills to showing seniors a new way to express their creativity.

“One of the goals of the program is to remove accessibility issues,” arts coordinaor Elizabeth Waldorf said.

“So the sessions are brought to the places where seniors gather.

“Some of the barriers to attendance this program addresses are issues such as transportation, distance to the Art Gallery and the cost of participation.”

Sessions are free and will run every Friday, 1 – 3 p.m. until the end of January. Those wanting to participate must register ahead of time. Waldorf makes sure there are qualified instructors and an

assistant to help with the projects and she provides high-quality art materials to use. Registration ahead of time ensures that if the sessions at the live-in locations aren’t filled, outside individuals can participate.

Abstract painting with acrylics will be the session at Shiraoi House on Oct. 31. Remember, register to participate and have fun.

Fraser Village Voice

Welcome to a guest writer this month for our seniors’ column. Dianne Becker lives in Fraser Village complex.

Hello out there. Are you a senior, a baby boomer or just thoughtfully looking towards the future?

We have our own library here at good old 451, 461 and every now and then I ask people if they’re down-sizing and would like to find a good home for their books. A good book is like comfort food – it’ll make you

feel warm, cozy and satisfied.

We’re looking for westerns for the retired cowboys, historical romances and the English jockey mystery writers; science fiction and fantasy and for those who like a lot of meat in their sandwich Wilbur Smith, Clive Cussler and Jonathan Kellerman. Local books written by Quesnel’s finest are also popular.

Here at Fraser Village we’re looking for books, jigsaw puzzles and maybe, just maybe, fresh vegetables if your garden produced an abundance. As far as food goes, it seems the better it is for you the more expensive it is. But who wants to live on Kraft Dinner and Ichiban noodles with the odd wiener thrown in for protein?

Kudos to the Lion’s Club who help us

out every month with food to round out a few square meals. If you have friends or family in good old Fraser Village go see them or call and bring them a coffee and maybe a muffin. You brighten their day and maybe, just maybe, they’ll brighten yours.

Seniors’ Centre Events Potlucks have

changed their time. On Oct. 29, the festivities begin at 1 p.m. with the doors opening at noon. We are trying the earlier time to see if the attendance improves, but if attendance continues low the potluck will be cancelled.

Help. Looking for members to volunteer at either the hospitality table (four-hour shift) or kitchen help. Members, if you could help us once a week or once a month it would be greatly appreciated. Contact Marj Hessels or Lil Peterson.

Instructors are badly needed for computer classes.

Bear bounces back into the win column with a last minutes 3-2 thrilling victory over Serenity as BCS continues it’s awesome play with a 5-3 win over Fraser River.

After suffering the penultimate loss in FHL history (Red beat Green 14-5, Nov 22, 2006) Bear thought for a while that they were headed to another defeat until a pair of last second goals to end the first and second halves had them grinning like cheshire cats.

Serenity had built a lead thanks to playing a rope-a-dope counter attack strategy to perfection as Wade “The Blade” Fenton used moves he perfected

at TJ’s circa 1992 to score his fourth of the season as “Captain” Dan Lowndes made it two zip with a quick release that surprised the much maligned Bear tender.

That was when the all-important “Going gets Tough, Tough gets Going” chant started for the Communicators as even though their captain

goalie had just let in 86 per cent of the oppositio’s last 18 shots, they knew they still had a chance.

Scoring his second in as many games was Bear’s Kieron “The Roadrunner” Langen who put on a stick handling clinic to cut the deficit in half with “BIG” Bob Merta on a deft deflection with seven seconds left in the half tying it up at deuces wild.

Inspired by the play of his Clan of the Cave Bear’s, Mike “Port” Moody burned his “Human Sieve” placard and put on a second half show stopping everything that was shot at him including a point blank chance with the clock

winding down. Then with Serenity

focused on their second straight shoot-out adventure, Lee “Nitro” Naeth scored on a Howitzer that hand-cuffed the Builder tender to give Bear their first lead with 20 seconds remaining.

With stop time suddenly being invoked, the Builders had a couple of chances which were quickly gobbled up by the Bear defence to preserve the comeback victory and their spot alone in the FHL Penthouse suite.

The other contest saw Fraser River put up a good fight only to see BCS extend their winning

string to three with a 5-3 victory.

The penalty-filled affair saw tempers flare on several occasions as not many Lady Byng or RBM candidates are on either teams rosters.

However, there are more than enough talented skaters to go around with Fraser River benefiting from exquisite unassisted tallies by Kris “Haymaker” Hayman and Kevin “Captain Crunch” Hesslegrave that sandwiched Wade Price “Is right” collecting his third marker of the year.

Leading the Blue Collar Silviculture crew who have outscored their opposition 23-7 the past

three weeks was Justin “Time” Rasmussen and Ian “Heartbreaker” Hannah who both scored a pair of awe-inspiring goals.

Meanwhile, somewhere between the breakfast table and the rink, somebody must have made Colin “The Hulk” Keis angry as he dominated the score sheet with a Gordie Howe Hat trick FHL style as he scored a goal, earned two assists and was sent to the showers early after three minor penalties.

WHITNEY GRIFFITHS Observer Reporter

The Knee Draggers raced in for a successful ending to their season at the Pacific Coast Mini Racing Club’s (PCMRC) event at the Greg Moore Raceway in Chilliwack last month.

Three Quesnel locals, Chris Kelly, Mike Beaudoin and Doug Bolton, geared up and took to the road, competing alongside fellow racers from across B.C and even Alberta.

Taking on an unfamiliar track, the trio spent Saturday afternoon racing along Chilliwack’s track, practicing for following day of racing. The track was much longer, with sharper corners Kelly remarked and it would take the team some practice before they took on the competition.

This marked the Knee Draggers second and final event of the season.

It was a rough start for the Quesnel racers with two members crashing in the first race of the day.

With more than 24 riders on the track for the first event, it was tough to keep the fast bikes from colliding.

Beaudoin was the first Knee Dragger to take a hit after the rider in front of him took the track’s 10th corner wide during the third lap of the race. Beaudoin collided with the rider ahead of him unable to stop in time as the rider stood-up on the 11th corner.

This would take Beaudoin out of the remainder of the races, having suffered a burn on his leg from the crash.

Quickly adding to the crash list was Bolton.

Taking the corner too deep Bolton’s accident left him relatively unscathed though his bike would be out of the competition having damaged the front

caliper during the unfortunate crash.

“Off the start three people crashed,” Kelly said.

“The race was red flagged after only eight laps.”

Kelly would take eighth place in the first race, the Formula Spec and remained the only Knee Dragger left racing. Kelly also raced his way into ninth place in the Formula Over 21 and eighth place in the Formula Super Sport.

The final event for the Quesnel competitors was the endurance race and despite having crashed earlier in the day, Bolton was up and ready to race again, though because of his injury Beaudoin would sit this event out.

The endurance race used one bike with a team of up to four racers, Kelly and Bolton recruited a Chilliwack and a Surrey rider to assist them in this final event.

The Knee Draggers along with their temporary recruits raced in on Kelly’s bike completing 94 laps in two hours, taking a trophy and a first place victory back to Quesnel.

Next season these Quesnel street bike racers are hoping to host regionals as well as nationals at our

local raceway. “We will be in the

endurance race so we will be fighting to keep out title,” Kelly laughed.

Though the season is quickly coming to a close, the Knee Draggers are always on the look out for new recruits, having picked up several new riders throughout the season, with the hopes of eventually starting up a local points for these speed enthusiasts.

“We are trying to promote this to young people,” Kelly said.

“We want to teach them how to rider properly, then if they get a street bike of their own they will know how to handle it and what their limits are.”

Wranglers can’t

handle the Heat

Two home town hockey players make their way back to Quesnel. Tavis Roch (13) and Lane van de Wetering (6) are travelling with the 100 Mile House Wranglers, facing off against the Junior ‘B’ competition. The two Quesnel boys had the chance to skate on their home ice last weekend when the Wrangles took on the Chase Heat at the Twin Arenas, Oct. 18. The teams were well matched, each struggling to take the upper hand. After a night of nail-biting action the Heat scored the final goal in the third period, launching them into the winning spot with a one point lead. The final score was 3-2.
