How do you plan on celebrating Interna-tional Day of Peace?

Rotarian Dr. John Havens hopes Gold Pan residents will show their solidarity for peace by attending one of the peace poles located at the two Community Gardens at noon on Sunday with a minute of silence.

“Peace isn’t just about the absence of war,” he said.

“It’s about peace of mind, community, the environment, interactions with one another.”

Havens said International Day of Peace is even more important right now when think-ing of the recent Polley Mine incident, the government and teacher dispute and Syrian con� ict.

Christopher Loat of the West Vancouver Sunrise Rotary noted it’s not just about grand gestures of peace but rather a uni� ed commitment.

“If we all decide to stop the war in Syria, that might be a bit ambitious,” he said.

“But if we all did a little bit for peace, all those little bits can make a difference.”

Peace Days is an enduring initiative pro-moting a culture of understanding, good-will, peace and compassionate action that originated in 2010 in Winnipeg at the Forks with a noon hour concert for peace present-ed by World Peace Partners (WPP) a stand-ing committee of Rotary International Dis-trict 5550 Inc.

Peace Days also works with Rotary Peace Fellowships which funds individuals at pre-mier universities in � elds related to peace and con� ict resolution and prevention. Programs last 15 – 24 months and require a practical internship of 2 – 3 months dur-ing the academic break. Each year Rotary awards up to 50 masters fellowships

“Everyone has a different concept of peace and what it means to them and their family,” Havens said.

Anyone interested in fellowship informa-tion, contact Havens at [email protected].

Moffat honoured with invitationLegendary Gold Pan resident Tom Moffat was

honoured last week.Moffat will be spending his 92nd birthday in

Amsterdam and will be honoured by the Dutch Government for his participation in Operation: Market Garden during WWII. He is one of two Canadians so honoured and one of 10 from around the world.

Moffat was born and raised in Quesnel. He was delivered by Doctor Baker and his wife, Nellie in September, 1922. At 19, he joined the Royal Canadian Air Force and went overseas with his cousin Milton Hill, one of the 19 Ques-nel boys who did not return from WWII.

Upon arriving in England, Moffat was at-tached to the Royal Air Force, the only Cana-dian in the crew in the Lancaster Bombers. In 1944, Moffat flew in a Lancaster bomber, one of the planes that dropped food supplies to the Dutch people in Operation: Market Garden.

Moffat will be attending commemorations and events such as the Airborne Operation near the Bridge of Grave to link up with ground troops as well as the crossing of the River Waal in Nijmegen by the 82nd Airborne. He will then attend a huge celebration of the Operation: Market Garden. His invitation comes from Lieutenant General M.C. De Kruif, the Com-mander of the Royal Netherlands Army.

Whatever cease-fire emerges from the latest round in

the war for control of B.C.’s public school system, the next court battle is ready to proceed.

Lawyers for the provincial government and the B.C. Teachers’ Federation have filed their written submissions to the B.C. Court of Appeal. At issue is whether legislation removing union contract terms that dictated class size and teacher staff levels was a violation of members’ constitutional rights to freedom of association.

When B.C. Supreme Court justice Susan Griffin found that it was, the government changed legislation again. The same judge ordered that struck down and the 2002 contract language reinstated retroactively for every contract since then, imposed or negotiated.

The government says that would create chaos as well as billions in expenses, pushing out full-day kindergarten and other allocations of space and money that have proceeded since union control was removed.

Griffin’s order is stayed pending this appeal. If you think the latest strike has been disruptive, you don’t want to see what this

judge’s vision would look like.

Government lawyers argue that the BCTF’s constitutional right claim is “wrong in law” and amounts to a veto that blocks the province’s ability to legislate in response to changing conditions.

“According to the BCTF, legislation may improve on collective agreement entitlements but cannot remove them over the objections of the union without violating [the Charter of Rights and Freedoms],” the government’s submission says. “On the BCTF’s theory, collective agreement entitlements become constitutionally protected in perpetuity.”

What that would mean to voters is when they throw out an NDP government that handed the keys to the treasury to public sector unions, the unions can veto that too. And

when mandated minimum teacher-librarians sitting in rooms full of paper books become the equivalent of buggy whip weavers, they must remain as long as the union wants.

BCTF’s lawyers submit that the government is wrong in fact as well as law. Its arguments are technical, dwelling particularly on the fact that the government didn’t appeal Griffin’s first ruling.

For instance, there have actually been two negotiated deals since 2002. The one in 2006 provided five years of raises and a bonus to get the government past the 2010 Olympics, and in 2012 there was a pre-election truce negotiated with the help of mediator Charles Jago.

The government argues that re-imposing 2002 conditions would overturn other contracts that were agreed to by the BCTF. BCTF’s lawyers say, in effect, the deleted terms covering working conditions weren’t there to negotiate.

The Coalition of B.C. Businesses has entered the case as an intervener, arguing for the supremacy of elected governments when providing public services.

Its submission notes that

unlike private disputes, the right to strike is often curtailed in the public sector and sometimes eliminated as in the case of police and health care.

“When critical aspects of public policy are jeopardized by employee demands, those aspects could be legislated; where a fiscal downturn or inflationary pressures required austerity measures, they could be implemented through legislation; where strikes jeopardize important public services, the legislature could pass back-to-work legislation, and so on.”

It’s been obvious for many years that the BCTF doesn’t function like a normal union, and isn’t much interested in starting to do so.

Its leadership sees itself as an agent of “social justice,” a belief demonstrated by its promotion of flawed poverty statistics and pronouncements on everything from U.S. labour law to conflict in the Middle East.

Its decades-old instruction to government is blunt: raise taxes and give us the money.

Off to school and to court

B.C. ViewsTom Fletcher

Eyes wide open

As a society, we’d rather skirt the issue of domestic violence and spend our time debating

hockey player salaries or Justin Bieber’s latest arrest.Using the anniversary of a tragic

mass murder to forward an agenda is almost as distasteful.Almost.Wouldn’t it be nice to live in a world

where our government responded to gaps in our social services, so that Sunny Park, her young son Christian and her parents could rest in peace and their friends and relatives could mourn and remember them as they lived, instead of reliving the horror of how they died each year?Park told police her husband Peter

Lee had hit and kicked her before intentionally driving their car into a pole, breaking her arm. She told police he had threatened to kill her and her family. At the time of the murder, Lee was also facing charges of aggravated assault and unlawful confinement against another man. Still, he was released from jail.The system failed Park and her

family in 2007 and it continues to fail them today. But many, mostly women and children, are being helped and those suffering in abusive situations should know help is out there. It is not a lost cause.The government has implemented

and is bringing in more specialized domestic violence units and is developing programs for Aboriginal women, men and children affected by domestic violence. There has been increased training and integrated information-sharing systems implemented.Is it enough? No. And nothing will

change the awful tragedy of the Park-Lee murder suicide.But as a society, we can open our

eyes to domestic violence. We can use this heart-wrenching anniversary to shed light on the topic and encourage the government to fund anti-violence programs to its maximum capability.VictimLink BC is a toll-free,

Editor:As a B.C. resident, I

have been involved with schools and education in a variety of ways. I was a long time parent volunteer and then a public health nurse, a Healthy Schools Coordinator and a Nursing Supports Services Coordinator (for special needs children) in my region.

During that time, I observed the dedication and compassion with

which teachers interacted with their students. I know that the majority of teachers work long hours and that often the resources used are bought by the teachers themselves because the resource budget given to them is not adequate for the student needs.

I was involved with the transition of special needs students into the classroom.

While I believe totally in

the concept of inclusion for all children, the way it is being implemented today often does not meet the needs.

The concept of inclusion means that every child is included and supported within the education system so that every child has an equal opportunity to develop physically, emotionally and academically to the extent of his/her abilities.

While students with the

designation of autism or down syndrome may have adequate teacher aide support, the children with undiagnosed medical conditions or those children with behavioural problems increase the work load for the teachers but do not receive teacher’s aide support for their conditions.

When teachers receive inadequate support, it means that all children in the classroom can be

negatively impacted too. This is the reason why

class size and composition in the classroom is so important. In my opinion, the standoff between the British Columbia government and the B.C. Teacher’s Federation in terms of bargaining in good faith is a travesty. I am totally disgusted by this turn of events, and lobby both the B.C. government and the Teacher’s Federation to

end this quickly.I would also like

to encourage every parent and interested person to lobby the involved parties to work together efficiently and comprehensively to reach a collaborative settlement of this issue. In addition to that send a letter to your MLA indicating your displeasure with this situation.

The Quesnel Live Arts 2014/2015 season has a lineup of performers with something for just about everyone.

Beginning Oct. 7, Valdy and Nadina Mackie Jackson take to the stage. Ranging from folk to baroque, Canadian folk idol Valdy teams up with bassoonist Nadina, weaving their musical paths into a tapestry of musical styles.

Nov. 15 brings Dockside Drive to Quesnel. This group is one of the West Coast’s newest swing and show bands with music from the 1940’s, 50’s and 60’s. Incorporating both vocal and instrumental tunes they present songs by Ray Charles, Irving Berlin, George Gershwin, Cole Porter and other favourites.

Into December, Foothills Brass Quintet performs Dec. 3 at Northstar Church with more than 30 years of

entertaining. Whether they’re dazzling youngsters with high energy and interactive programs or enlightening adults to the incredible versatility of the brass quintet, Foothills Brass delivers serious fun.

Kicking off 2015, Wolak Donnelly Duo takes to the stage armed with a clarinet, a piano and their personable stage presence. They present a remarkable blend of classical and jazz music rarely heard in live performance. Kornel Wolak and Chris Donnelly captivate audiences with virtuosity, familiar melodies and a profound passion for music and performing.

Shawn The Harpoonist Hall and Matthew The Axe Murderer Rogers will perform in Quesnel Feb. 11, bring an arsenal of harmonicas, a mess of

foot percussion and a road-worn Telecaster to the stage and kick out raw and primal blues in the tradition of a decades-deep blues style while infusing the genre with a jolt of renewed energy.

To � nish off Quesnel Live Arts season is Ballet Jorgen’s Cinderella March 3. The company’s innovative take on the classic fairy tale includes amazing choreography which takes the audience through the misfortunes and fortunes of Cinderella and her stepsisters.

All shows except Foothills Brass Quintet are in Chuck Mobley Theatre at Correlieu senior high school and start at 7:30 p.m.

Season tickets are $125 for all six shows for adults and $100 for seniors and students. Individual show prices are $25 (adults) and $20 (seniors and

NEWS REMEMBER TO RECYCLEThere are only 17 days left

until the 21st edition of the Women’s Fall Challenge.

On Oct. 5, take a look around and you might notice the several generations sharing the excitement.

We have grammas and granddaughters, mothers and daughters. We even hope for a three to four generation spread this year.

This will be Racheal’s second year. Last year, health concerns loomed heavy and biopsies were ordered to determine the cause. With this scare in mind, and after chatting with a friend about how to begin running to improve her health, she decided that the QWFC would be her first race ever. It was an easy and great place to start. Racheal really enjoyed the experience and looked forward to more but those biopsies proved positive and the next months were dedicated to attacking that cancer. It took a while but she eventually got back into her sneakers and hit the road. Determined to participate this year, she is using a running app on her phone and has revisited the course. Delightfully, her son and her daughter, Danica, have joined

her. What a great way to spend those days off school. Eagerly anticipating the event, Danica will be running her first race at the age of six. She wants to share her enthusiasm with others and has been building loom band bracelets and necklaces to give away. She has chosen teal and white, the colours that represent cervical cancer. They also hope to dress in neon colours. Way to go, Danica and Racheal.

One mother, her sister and her daughter will be lacing up for their first time in the five kilometre run. They knew of the run, knew of others who had tried it but had never before made the push to get involved.This year, with a desire to make lifestyle changes to improve health, the

group decided that the Fall Challenge is a great way to work towards these goals.

They have done some training and are excited to be part of the multitude. Welcome.

This will be Ella’s first time and she’ll be walking with her Gramma Vivian, who is a 20 year veteran of this event. For Vivian, it began as a great way to spend a lovely autumn morning with family and friends and turned into a unique celebration. After the first few of years, Vivian encouraged her sister Debbie and Ella’s other Gramma, Trish, to walk with her. These ladies dove into the spirit with bright pink hats and wigs. Come rain or shine, fog or wind, the smiles have been there every year. Ella really likes how her Grammas dress up and get excited about the walk and since she also likes to dress up and she also likes to walk, Ella decided to join the fun. The ladies are still hoping that Ella’s mom will join them too and if that is the case, they will be our first family with three generations. These ladies appreciate the fact that the funds are raised and kept in our community.

For many, Jim Savage is a savvy businessman and

community planner, however there are many sides to the Cariboo native including gardener, musician and artist.

It was about 10 years ago when the artist in Savage was awakened. Always interested in the arts, he pursued other interests, letting that side of himself lay fallow.

“I met an amazing artist who also was a teacher,” Savage said.

“She had great mastery of many techniques and just meeting her, seeing her work, ignited the impulse in me to pursue art. I was overwhelmed.”

Savage eventually took courses from that artist and has been painting

ever since.The current show at the

Quesnel Art Gallery in the Arts and Recreation Centre features Savage’s work inspired by West Fraser Road which he calls an iconic rural B.C. back road.

West Fraser Road closely follows the west bank of the Fraser River from Quesnel to south of the Rudy Johnson bridge, just north of Williams Lake and is approximately at the intersection of the Fraser basin and the Chilcotin plateau.

“It’s a rich lode of inspiration – sweeping river, forest and ranching landscapes, great stories and people, old buildings, ranching, mining and logging equipment, domestic and wild animals,” he said.

The paintings hanging on the gallery wall cover

a great cross-section of life on the West Fraser Road, both literally and interpretively. Any one of the paintings could evoke a memory in a viewer of time spent along West Fraser Road, whether it’s exactly as the scene exists or a scene Savage has created.

Whether it’s masterful attention to detail or the capture of sweeping vistas, Savage’s work speaks volumes of the diverse and beautiful landscape of the West Fraser Road.

Of particular note are the unusual and captivating techniques he employs on several of the canvases. In one particular painting, the mood is moonless, midnight, sombre and brooding with a comet of bright colour spreading from the train stack.

With staggering raised detail in the same dark tones, the image demands a closer look to appreciate the wonder of it.

Another seizes the moment, frozen in time, where logging equipment is working by arti� cial light, in the depths of the forest, at night.

None of these strikingly different paintings in any way diminishes the more realistic paintings of strong visuals and even more impressive wildlife work.

Savage admits one of his challenges is to push himself to produce, especially when a show is looming on his horizon. However, he still � nds himself reluctant to sell his work.

“Creating artwork is so personal,” he said with a

smile.“But its a deliberate

step-by-step process to become a better artist, create more and sell my work.”

Savage also said he’s on the move creatively with each painting in the show very different from its neighbour.

“I don’t feel settled artistically, nor do I want to,” he said.

“My work to date is usually highly realistic, but expressionist tendencies are creeping in.”

Savage’s West Fraser Road Show opened to a warm and enthusiastic

crowd where more than 100 people attended, enjoy beverages supplied by Barkerville Brewing Company and entertainment provided by Amber Gregg, a solo guitarist.

“I deeply appreciate and feel honoured every time someone chooses to purchase my artwork, it’s so af� rming to be well-supported.”

Later this fall, Savage plans to have his website up and running, jamessavagearts.com and invites people to watch for it.

The show is sponsored by West Fraser Mills. The public is encouraged to drop by the gallery and witness his work where originals and reproductions are available for purchase.

The show hangs to the end of September.

want to.”Jim Savage, artist

For Nancy, taking part in

the fall challenge is a way to show her daughter that fun and activity is not just for kids. All ages can be active and families can share that fun. Whether it is skating or walking or playing in the park, all ages can play.

In Nancy’s past, as with many others of this era, children found ways to play while adults did adult things. There wasn’t much time spent playing as a family.

Wanting to be a good model, it is important for Nancy to show her daughter, Sophia, that a healthy lifestyle is important at every age. Sophia is now an experienced walker and

she feels ready to run part of the course this year.

Awesome, mother and daughter; living and loving life together.

The QWFC is just a few weeks away but there is still time to register. We will accept registrations until Oct. 5, race day.

Please encourage your mother, daughter, grandmother or even great grandmother to participate. Six is the youngest and we have walkers in their 90s so which family will be the first to walk with four generations? Please join us.

Walking for Terry A crowd gathered at LeBourdais Park on the chilly early morning of Sept. 14 to help raise awareness and funds for cancer research. People of all ages walked, ran or rode bikes along the river walk for the Quesnel’s 34th annual Terry Fox Run. Registration was at 9 a.m. with participants gathered for a group warm-up before the run and leaving the park at 10 a.m. From left to right: Jaden Sull, Daneeta Aulakh and Khya Aulakh have participated in the Terry Fox Run since they could walk and they were back for another year.

Breaking records since 1984

WHITNEY GRIFFITHS Observer Reporter

Over the years, Quesnel’s school track and field teams have been throwing, jumping and sprinting their way to the top ranked athletes in out zone, with many of these records still holding today.

In 1984, a Bantam girls relay team from Correlieu ran to first place with a time of 00:54.96 in the 4x100 m race.

Also running to a record setting time in the 4x100 m relay race was our junior girls really team in 1994, with a time of 00:52.95.

Kelly Yorston set the record for the senior girls high jump in 1996, with a measurement of 1.67m this has been proven a challenging zone record to beat.

For shot put, senior girls participant Brooke Wiles’ throwing arm and skill helped her to earn a record setting 10.28m throw in 1999.

This was the second zone record for Wiles.

In 1998, Wiles met with record setting success when she participated in the discus throw.

Senior girls competitor Bevin Kennelly still holds a record she set in 2002, for the 400m hurdles with a time of 1:08.11.

In 2003, hammer throw competitor Marie McMillan threw her way into a record setting standing for the junior girls.

Hayley Hills set the bar high with her 2003 record in the juvenile girls high jump event.

In 2004, for the senior girls hammer throw, Kesley Shaughnessy beat the previously held record with a throw of 37.46m.

Correlieu’s team dominated yet another 4x100m relay race, this time it was the senior girls with a time of 4:13.15.

This record settling time has been held since 2006.

In 1992, the senior boys relay team ran in the 4x100m event setting the long-held record with a time of 00:44.94.

It was another relay win for Correlieu, this time for the juvenile boys, racing in for a time of 3:44.06 in the 4x400m event in 1997.

Also coming in the zone records for Correlieu in 1997 was juvenile boys participant Josh Guggenheimer in both the 400m and 200m events.

Guggenheimer was met with

success in 1998 as well, this time competing in the junior boys events, sprinting in for zone records in the 100m, 200m and 400m races.

Also taking zone records in 1998 was Jeremy Edwards for the junior boys shot put and discus throw, as well as Kurpreet Nijjar in the senior boys 100m dash.

In 2000, senior boys competitors Nijjar and Guggenheimer still share the record for the 200m dash with a time of 00:21.97.

That same year, Guggenheimer set another two records for Correlieu one in the 400m dash and another in the 400m hurdles.

Junior boys participant Kurt Fowkes broke the previously held zone record for the hammer throw in 2000.

Also setting another zone record for Correlieu in 2000 was Brett Festerling for the bantam boys javelin throw and Jeremy Edwards in the senior boys discus throw.

In 2004, the record setter for Correlieu was Adrian Bears, racing in with a time of 00:48.26 in the 300m hurdles.

Quesnel secondary school track and field teams also came through with some zone records.

In 1998, juvenile girls competitor Justine Boulin raced in with a time of 2:25.95 in the 800m event and 4:51.45 in the 1500m event.

Boulin set several more zone records for Quesnel, one in 1999 for the junior girls 1500m race and two in 2001 for the senior girls, the 1500m and the 3000m events.

Even Maple Drive still hold zone records.

In 1998, Kellen Heine raced in with a record setting time for the bantam boys 100m hurdles.

Also in 1998, bantam boys participant Ted Law set the long standing zone record for shot put.

It was a win for Maple Drive’s juvenile boys 4x100m relay team in 1999.

Racing in with a record time of 46.85 was the junior boys 4x100m relay team in 2000.

For the javelin throw in the junior boys category, Owen Kirby’s skill earned him a zone record in 2001.

September 14-20, 2014ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20Aries, you can have all of the inspiration in the world, but without some practical application, your idea will stall. Spend some time thinking things through.

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21You are torn between two choices, Taurus. Family matters are on one side, and work responsibilities are on the other. It may take a few days to work out a decision.

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21Gemini, it’s difficult to contain all of your enthu-siasm, so share your excitement and happiness with others. Try tackling some other people’s projects.

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22Cancer, you will be front and center in the days to come. Don’t be nervous, as you’re fully capable of handling the extra attention. Enjoy the spotlight while it lasts.

LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23Leo, you will be full of energy this week. Use this energy and enthusiasm to your advantage, tackling projects you have let go unfinished but want to get done.

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22Virgo, immerse yourself in activities that put you first over the next few days. Whether it’s a date or simply alone time, enjoy it and start tending to your needs.

LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23Libra, getting back into the swing of things after a long vacation can be challenging. But you will have no problem getting back into a groove and getting all of your work done.

SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22Try turning something you enjoy doing for fun into a career, Scorpio. Loving what you get paid to do is a key to a happy life, so figure out a way to make that happen.

SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21Sagittarius, you may be adept at finding an easy way around a difficult thing, but sometimes taking the hard road offers good life lessons along the way.

CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20Family needs take precedence over your obliga-tions at work, Capricorn. Higher-ups will just have to be patient if they want to keep you on as an employee.

AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18Aquarius, everyone expects you to provide advice, but this week you may be in need of guidance. It could be because you have been tackling so many projects lately.

PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20Few things escape your attention, Pisces. However, this week you can expect to be happily surprised by good news.

CAPSULE COMMENTSSafeway

with Lee-Anne Williams B.Sc. (Pharm)By 2020, about 1 in 3 Canadians will be diabetic or pre-diabetic. If you haven’t been screened for diabetes and are over 40, check with your doctor. Diabetes can be prevented through lifestyle changes....weight-loss, better nutrition and exercise.As we age, our eyes sometimes don’t produce enough tears to keep the eye moist causing “dry eye syndrome”. This can also be caused by certain medications as well. It’s important to keep the eye surface moist. Talk to our pharmacists about this. We can check your medication list for possible drug causes and recommend a suitable moisturising eye drop or ointment to help.Pharmacists are often asked for something to reduce heartburn. There are drugs available for this but often just making a few changes in your life might do the job.Avoid eating less than three hours before bed. Eat smaller meals. The more you eat, the longer it takes for the stomach to empty which can contribute to heartburn.To reduce heartburn, try to identify which foods cause it. Common culprits are tomatoes, garlic, milk, coffee, cola soft drinks and chocolate. You might try sleeping on a bit of an incline using a wedge-shaped cushion. Lastly, lose those extra pounds that could put more pressure on the stomach causing contents to move up the esophagus. If all this doesn’t reduce your heartburn, talk to our pharmacists. There are a number of products available without prescription that may help.

Quesenl wrapped-up another successful rodeo season. The crowds flocked to Alex Fraser Park for the BCRA championship, Sept. 12 – 14. Clockwise from top left: Taylor Cherry holds tight to the reins as she barrels through the course; rider Steve Hohmann takes the win in bull riding; rodeo champion Allan Puhallo; Denton Spiers storming in for first place in junior steer riding; charging in for a win in tie down roping was Steve Lloyd.
