A contractor lined up to demolish the brown cab-ins is treating the property as a hazardous site.

“There’s asbestos, black mold, sharps,” mayor Bob Simpson said.

“It’s another indicator of how bad those properties are.”

Council directed staff to proceed with the demolishing of the build-ings during Monday’s

council meeting. The decision came after

a number of steps, kicking off in September of 2013 when the city received a request for a business ap-plication to increase the number of rental units.

Business licenses are required for properties with three or more rental units.

The business license was then refused following an inspection of the prop-erty in May 2014 due to a number of safety and

health concerns. In September 2014 the

use of the property as a rental unit was ordered to stop.

In October of 2014 council directed staff to work with the property owners to encourage “re-mediation of the site and pursue a remedial action order should no action be taken.”

The city reiterated its cease business order, how-ever operations continued and no plans to improve

the site were provided.In April of this year,

council declared, under the Community Charter, that the buildings “create an unsafe condition and are a nuisance.”

“In a span of three years there were 79 calls for emergency ser-vices,” Coun. Scott Elliott said.

“That’s unacceptable. There’s much better ways our emergency services can be used.”

Owners had until June 1

to demolish the buildings, failure to do so resulted in council lining up a con-tractor.

Staff provided a report to council Monday, advis-ing the demolition costs for the site are estimated at $53,725.

“This amount will be added to the owners’ tax-es,” Simpson said.

“Whether they pay it or not, is up to them.”

The two tenants residing in the cabins were offered replacement housing.

“Staff at Seasons House have been phenomenal,” Simpson said.

“Places have been found for both of them.”

As of Tuesday the water had been disconnected, once the BC Safety Au-thority gives the green light, the gas and power will be shut off.

“Once that’s done our contractor’s ready to go,” Simpson said.

The demolition will take approximately 1.5 – 2 weeks.

Be aware on the roadsOn June 2 a collision between a vehicle and a motorbike occurred at the intersection of Shepherd Avenue and Front Street. Motorists are reminded to be aware of motorbikes while travelling the roads.

Cariboo residents are invited to comment on proposed amendments to the boundaries of about 400 existing old growth management areas (OGMAs) in the Quesnel Natural Resource District.

OGMAs help protect the biological diversity of old-

growth forests by ensuring that stands from different ecosystem types are protected.

These areas are excluded from commercial timber harvesting, which helps preserve plant ecosystems, wildlife habitat and cultural values.

The proposed

amendments to the old growth management areas in the Quesnel Natural Resource District are required under the Land Act, due in part to the salvage harvesting of trees killed by mountain pine beetle infestations within those areas.

The portions

that were salvage harvested must be replaced with an equivalent amount of old growth management areas.

In addition, the amount and distribution of old growth management areas are determined by ecosystem mapping and

Use A COMPOsT!

I try to shed some light on as many subjects as

possible in this garden column: perennials, trees and shrubs, annuals, vegetables and pests and disease.

So here is a topic about a common disease, a virus, called downy mildew that hit one of the favourite shady annuals in the horticultural world, the impatiens plant.

You may or may not have heard about it, never mind have had any experience with it.

At first the leaves turn a light yellow or mottled yellow and green. Then, the leaf appears wilted as the edges curl under and a fluffy white growth covers the lower surface of leaves. Next, the flowers and leaves start falling off and the stems collapse and lay on the ground. You would have noticed.

The common variety of impatiens, called Impatiens walleriana, is susceptible to this disease but it doesn’t

mean that they have the disease. We did not have any on our impatiens last year.

However, impatiens hawkerii, New Guinea impatiens are highly resistant to impatiens downy mildew. There are some new and beautiful varieties of these New Guinea mpatiens in Divine and Infinity series plus the new Bounce series of impatiens hybrid.

It is very important to understand that if you did have this happen last year in your garden you must not plant impatiens walleriana back into that site.

The spores stay in the soil indefinitely and you will just have problems again. It is time to change it up and try some new plants such as New Guinea impatiens, coleus or begonias are a few to consider.

Impatiens can be planted into an area that has no history of downy mildew but make sure you are purchasing disease

free plants. Take time to inspect the plants. Look for yellowing foliage and turn the leaf over to check for any white downy growth.

If you are unlucky to have an infection, remove the entire plant, roots and all. Don’t compost it but dispose of it into a plastic bag. Fungicides are futile.

It is always a good idea with all your plantings to space plants out so air can move easily between them.

A deep watering in the early morning is best, rather than a shallow infrequent irrigation in the evening. Using drip irrigation is ideal if possible as this keeps the foliage dry.

If you are looking for some new varieties to try I would suggest the Bounce series. It looks like the I.walleriana, with the same flower form but is completely downy mildew resistant. Blooming from spring to fall in the sun or

shade it will surely brighten your garden.

The Divine and Infinity series are New Guinea types perfect for the shady patio pot.

These all bring vibrancy and a

tropical feel to your garden, which we could all benefit from after our long winter.

from A2the boundaries of the

relevant ecosystem units have been updated since these old growth management areas were originally mapped in 2006.

This has affected their distribution and percent target requirements, so the proposed boundary amendments would correct those discrepancies.

Members of the public are invited to submit comments about the proposed amendments to the boundaries of these old growth management areas during a 60-day review and comment period that ends Aug. 4.

Written comments can be mailed to:

• A total of about 4.5 million hectares of old-growth forest are protected within old growth management areas, provincial parks, national parks, ecological reserves, land conservancies and recreational areas in British Columbia.

• The Quesnel Natural Resource District covers about 1.8 million hectares of land in the southern Interior. It extends from Macalister in the south to the Cottonwood River in the north and from the Itcha Ilgachuz Mountains in the west to the Fraser River Divide in the east.

Council members who attended the North Central Local Govern-ment Association (NCLG) conference and Annual General Meeting in Prince George reported to Coun-cil. In general, council members felt the confer-ence was productive and informative. Three of the City of Quesnel’s resolu-tions were passed at the convention and will be

forwarded to the Union of BC Municipalities Con-vention in September. A resolution from the City of Quesnel calling for a national inquiry into the

missing and murdered indigenous women (High-way 16) was recognized at the convention as the best crafted resolution of 2015.

 Highway 97 Traffic Study – Funding

Council is continuing its lobbying efforts with the Provincial Government regarding traffic conges-

tion along Highway 97 through the City. Coun-cil passed a resolution requesting the Minister of Transportation and Infrastructure to commit the funds necessary to conduct a comprehensive assessment of the op-tions available to improve traffic flow and the safety of Highway 97 through Quesnel.

Choose wiselySome choose to think on the

positive plane of change.Those people are ones in

which, hopefully the majority of us choose to try to emulate.Change, for the most part, is good.One can change their outlook, their

viewpoint, their manners in which they portray oneself, the aura in which others seem to want to gravi-tate; hell changing ones hairstyle or eating habits can make a huge differ-ence in attitude.Today we speak of our fair city’s

first ever pride parade.It’s a step, a change for the positive.

Anyone looking to say otherwise is trapped in a very narrow-minded, archaic mind set.We should feel badly for those

people.Obviously everyone is entitled to

their own opinion and as Canadians we should feel blessed these opin-ions, whatever they may be, are pro-tected under the beautiful, and often times taken for granted, freedom of speech.But the comments stating such

ridiculous statements as: “Why do they need to showcase themselves?” And my favourite: “Why don’t we get a day?” are as simpleton and backwards as one can get.This isn’t about showcasing, this is

about embracing. Embracing every-thing good and different and versa-tile and vibrant and enthusiastic and loving.It’s about having pride in oneself,

how we chose to act, how we choose to react, it’s about who we choose to surround ourselves with, it’s about who we are, owning it and being the very best version of it. Nothing more, nothing less.If you choose to be an ass about it,

go for it. That’s your choice. Have fun Judgey McJudgington.If you choose to come take part on

what should be an amazing, fun-filled day. Full of pride, love and laughter – by all means please do so.My son and I choose to attend,

for all the reasons stated above and beyond.Please join us this Saturday at the

Bruce Jenner, the man who became a national hero during the 1976 Olympics, when he won a gold medal and broke a world record in the men’s decathlon event had a different kind of vic-tory this week: he finally re-vealed himself to the world as a woman.

The cover and photo spread showing his new identity in Vanity Fair mag-azine titled “Call me Cait-lyn” hit the Internet on June 1, along with a request to be referred to with female pronouns rather than male. The media quickly honored her wishes.

A Twitter page for Caitlyn was set up the same day and broke Barack Obama’s re-cord for the shortest time to reach one million followers, achieving the mark in four hours and three minutes.

Not everyone reacted with kudos or acceptance though. Some were disgust-ed with the gender change and others by all the expo-sure this story is getting.

For the former I’d like to explore the reactions. For the latter, I chalk that up to Bruce Jenner being a member of the most famous reality TV family, the Kar-dashians, of which millions are tired of hearing about. Considering her new name is spelled with the letter C rather than a K like the oth-er six women she’s related

to, Caitlyn may share that sentiment on some level.

I don’t watch the popu-lar program, but I’ve been following this particular story since the media started speculating about Bruce Jenner’s gender reassign-ment. Photographs taken over the last couple of years suggested that the famous athlete was taking on more of a feminine appearance through cosmetics and sur-gery. That was confirmed in a recent exclusive interview she had with Diane Sawyer.

Knowing Bruce Jenner as an Olympic champion since my childhood, I found this transformation intriguing. Especially since I have a friend who’s secretly been a cross dresser for decades.

To protect his identity I’ll call him John. Married with children, John and his wife are from religious, conser-vative families. For that reason and others he has gone to great lengths to hide his love for dressing like a woman, restricting himself

to only indulging when he travels out of town.

When he came to Kelowna a few years ago from Van-couver, my girlfriend and I met up with him at a hotel and for the first time I met his female persona. She was lovely, and beyond happy in her beautiful dress, high heels, wig and make up.

The transformation took hours, and during that time our friend was like a kid in a candy store, enjoying ev-ery moment of the process with our mutual pal, who helped.

His impulse to dress like a female started when he was a young boy who felt trapped in a body of the wrong gender. As a child he hid his desire to be a girl, and as an adult he has continued to hide his crav-ings to be a woman. When he momentarily shared this side of himself with his wife early on in their relationship she expressed revulsion.

Not wanting to lose her, his family, or his reputation in the business community, John has tried repeatedly to put an end to these strong feelings, but he hasn’t been able to. His secret persists and anxiety over its possible discovery intensifies.

Bruce Jenner felt these same pressures and stress, with millions watching and the paparazzi documenting as much as they could. Be-

coming Caitlyn at the age of 65 and finally realizing her lifelong dream of being a woman has her now feeling like her authentic self.

 “Bruce always had to tell a lie,” she explained in her Vanity Fair interview. “He was always living that lie. Every day, he always had a secret, from morning until night. Caitlyn doesn’t have any secrets.”

She also said she didn’t want to end her days full of regret.  

Living with this decision isn’t easy though. According to a recent U.S. National Transgender Discrimination Survey 41 per cent of trans or gender-non-conforming people surveyed have at-tempted suicide – a stagger-ingly high statistic. I hope Caitlyn’s experience will inspire John, and anyone yearning to live their truth, to not be afraid of what others think, to do what makes them happy, and to stay strong throughout. 

 Sharing her story, as oth-ers before her have done, can only help to break down the barriers created by judgment and intoler-ance and build a foundation for the kind of respect and acceptance we all deserve as human beings.

Most of us know or have known older people

who spout wisdom like “ when I was young we never…” or “when I was younger we never wore clothes like that….”

My grandparents were like that and wore black clothes as far back as I can remember. I know there are still people who criticize the present youth without accepting that they have grown up in a world very different than the world we grew up in.

Every generation has gone through stages where changes were very notable. One of these changes that most of us who were born before 1950, do remember is the period before and after the “hippy culture.”

Just look at how music has changed since that era, from swing, jazz and blues, to rock and heavy metal. There are a whole lot more varieties of music such as classic, folk and country, but even these have changed, but so have cars, planes, houses and morals.

One could go on about all the changes in our lives, but I think they would not even fit in a book. So I asked myself: how much have I changed, and am I rejecting new technology and mental concepts?

One of the types of music that I did not listen to, was the kind of rock called “heavy metal.” Keeping in mind that every era had its music that was popular, there is a lot of music to remember as one gets older.

Heavy metal was a kind of music I had trouble with because I could not hear the words and I found the sound too penetrating. A while ago my wife and I went to a birthday party where there were only a few people fifty

and older and the vast majority were about thirty and younger.

The party was for a young musician who we like very much and since he is a very good musician, there were quite a few bands at the place of celebration.

The music ranged from country to rock and

heavy metal. Our young friend plays in a heavy metal band, so when his band came on stage I walked up to just beside the stage where I could see and hear the band without interruption.

I was amazed how tight this group was. Rhythm changes and breaks were faultless and the words dealt with the now in our society. I cannot say that I can listen to it from morning to night, but it is now part of the music repertoire that I listen to because I cannot forget the enthusiasm and musical ability.

I know it is not an important part compared to what is happening in the world around us, but it made me aware that I have been shutting new experiences out.

It also makes me happy because I am now aware that an old sock like me is not like my grandparents who rejected most things new. This does not mean that everything new is acceptable.

We only have to look at the world around us and we know that there is a lot that has gone wrong and is not being fixed. With the overflow of information available to us it is not that easy to find out what is right or wrong at all times. I think that common sense, honesty and an open mind are the first things to look at.

COMMUNITY

Life expectancy has chased Bob

Costerton. With it constantly at his heels for the past 50 years, Bob has watched as the cystic fibrosis (CF) average life span grew from less than 5 years to its present all-time high at 37 years of age.

For Bob, there will be 51 candles on his birthday cake this year and he has had to fight for every single one.

Sitting across from Bob, you would never guess he was diagnosed with CF. A tanned picture of health, to a passerby Bob’s lean physique and smile lines simply look like a life well-lived, not the diagnosis his parent’s received when they were told he might not see his fourth birthday.

“I have always wondered what is possible for my life,” Bob said.

“Could I have a happy life, live to adulthood, go to university, fall in love? Could I be a father?” 

Few of us dream of living ‘just’ an ordinary life, but for Bob dreaming of the ordinary life has empowered him to fight. And fight he has, for every single breath.

Breathing problems described as ‘drowning on the inside’, are the effects of CF. This disease is the most common, fatal genetic disease affecting young Canadians. CF affects the lungs and digestive system, resulting in chronic

lung infections and a loss of lung function, as well as difficulty digesting fats and protein.

There is no cure.As an adolescent,

Bob recalls bringing home a school project and telling his mom that he was researching cystic fibrosis. Bob’s mom later confessed a feeling of dread because he might find out he was already on borrowed time.

In 50 years, Bob has watched that fateful number steadily grow. Because of generous donations, CF researcher’s steadfast efforts have elevated our understanding of the fatal disease.

“Sometimes I think my life is owed to good timing,” says Bob of the arrival of new CF treatment and therapies just as his condition demanded it.

While the timely arrival of this research undoubtedly added candles to his cake, Bob is known for his unwavering dedication to life that has truly influenced how his story is written.

Bob must push his lungs to their limit every day. For the 4,000 Canadians living with cystic fibrosis, daily exercise

and treatment are necessary, life-saving measures. Regular airway clearance helps prevent a build-up of mucus in the lungs.

And so, Bob decidedly battles. A war waged mostly upon the pedals of his bike.

But sometimes his rigorous coughing attracts unwanted attention. An opponent once commented during soccer that Bob really should see a doctor for that cough. When the player had been reassured that a doctor had been consulted, he said, “You should see a different doctor!”

“If he only knew…” laughs Bob.

Aptly named the invisible disease, there is little outward evidence of CF in Bob’s life (that is until you open his car’s glove box to find his plethora of medical treatments).

Many of the items on Bob’s bucket list have been realized. Successful engineer and entrepreneur, Bob lives in Kamloops B.C. with his wife Kathy, and his son Liam and daughter Nicola. Their home is scattered with the evidence of countless family trips, but the

richness of Bob’s life manifests itself in his garage. Here you will find this talented family of four’s hiking boots, bikes, skis and 19 canoes and kayaks—Bob’s wife Kathy makes note that the boats are all Bob’s.

Yet, on Bob’s bucket list there remains a few items unchecked.

“I didn’t want to share my story until it had a happy ending,” says Bob and while his story isn’t finished yet, he has finally chosen to tell it for the first time.

The mother of a son and daughter, both diagnosed with CF, recently reached out to Bob because her daughter had succumbed to the disease, and her 17-year-old son was struggling.

Bob calls the young man with CF. He tries to tell him, it’s worth the fight.

“Did I get through to him?” Bob questioned. “I don’t know.”

And, Bob has decided that now is the perfect time to cross one of the last items of his list.

“I don’t want CF patients to have to live with a number looming over their head counting years,” Bob said.

“I want them to have every opportunity to live. I’ve tried to never let the disease define my life.”

Staying alive for

Bob has always been mission impossible—but with countless donations to research, Bob’s will and the help of others it became mission possible.

This time Bob faces a new mission impossible—by choice.

Bob has decided to take on the 1,200 km, nine-day cycling marathon from Vancouver to Banff, called GearUp4CF, to support CF research. At 50 years old, he is the oldest person with CF, with or without a lung transplant, to attempt this feat.

This challenge makes one thing clear: Bob is living one extraordinary, ordinary life.

Support Bob and his niece Laura, in their nine-day marathon of 1,200 km from Vancouver to Banff to support those who dream of an ordinary life.

Guess who’s back?? Th at’s right! I’ve been laying low. But, your favourite curber is back and looking to make some ex-tra cash!

Folks were catching on to my scams at home, so I needed a change of scenery. And, what could be better than the Cariboo in the summer? I picked a friendly town, hoping for less suspi-cious customers.

Now, I just had to lure them to my so called “lot”. How? Clever advertising, of course. I needed to get creative! Time to add fl yers and a website to my typical Craigslist ads. Th is

was a blitz, not a trickle!Of course, the vehicles I had

for sale weren’t the most ap-pealing. If I told the truth, it would take forever to make a sale! No, I had to get customers

thinking they were gems. I had fi ve vehi-cles, including the RV that I was sleeping in.

In typical Walt fashion, I altered an odometer or two, hid some oil leaks, covered up the smell of mould. Used every

detailing trick in the book. When they all sparkled, I got to work.

I gave my “dealership” a name – Walt’s Wheels. I just

pulled some photos from the internet that looked better than my cars, and added a few more for good measure. I’d just say they were already sold. Create a sense of urgency and get them to buy another! Th e old bait and switch!

And here’s another secret – the prices on the fl yers and the website were not my real price.

I just had to get them to bite. With no prices on the cars like a real dealer, once they were in love, I’d just tell them the low price was a misprint! Surprising how often it works.

I looked at my fl yer and frowned. Something was miss-ing. Ah yes, the fi nal touch. I wrote “Sale! Family Deals” in big yellow letters. Surely that

would grab someone’s attention! And the calls came in! As usu-

al, from people who put price fi rst. I told them I was waiting for permits to open my dealer-ship – but I could come to them. Convenient for them, and I stay in the shadows – everybody wins! Well, sort of…

My blitz was a success. Sure, I had some who walked as

soon as they learned the real price. And two who wanted a CarProof Vehicle History Re-port to prove what I said. Boy, I dropped them fast! But I needed only fi ve. I sold them all within the week.

W here next? 100 Mile House, Wil l iams L ake or Quesnel? I can’t wait. Time to get some inventory.

Walt prowls the Cariboo

Walt really gets around…and he’s looking for gold!

Th e Vehicle Sales Authori-ty (VSA) oversees the licensed motor dealer industry in British Columbia. Despite more than 1300 consumer enquiries, near-ly 800 dealer inspections and ongoing advertising monitor-ing, the last 12 months generat-ed the following limited compli-ance activities:❚ Over 500 consumer-initiated investigations resulted in the return of $1 million to 189 con-sumers from 430,000 transac-tions, or $10 billion in regulated vehicle sales.❚ Th is included voluntary ac-knowledgement and action by four dealers that errors were made during the representation and sale of vehicles, as docu-mented in signed undertakings.❚ Five dealers faced hearings before the Registrar of Motor Dealers regarding allegations of deceptive business practic-es – Auto Empire, Golden Year Auto, Northland Chrysler Jeep Dodge, Silk Road Autos, and Trinity Auto.

❚ And, as a result of licensing reviews, three salesperson li-cences were denied, one was suspended and two were issued with conditions based on prior conduct.

In addition, three licensing and business practice decisions of the Registrar were upheld by the BC Supreme Court, fol-lowing applications for judicial review.

The program runs Wednesdays at the Nature Education and Resource Centre in West Fraser Timber Park from 10 – 11:30 a.m.

Snacks are provided but participants are reminded to bring a water bottle, reusable dish, hat, sunscreen, bug repellent and an attitude for adven-ture.

Activities will most certainly take the group outside into the natural surroundings as well as exploring the many wonders of the centre.

Suggested donation is $2 per child and $5 for families with more than two children.

For information or to get a schedule, call Laurie 250-255-7513 or email ecosproutsb-ces.gmail.com.

RE/MAX supports students at Skyfest 2015Watch for complementary tickets in elementary student report cards

Skyfest director Betsy Van Halderen, left delivers Skyfest student tickets to River-view elementary school principal Kathy Fowkes, right.

ANNIE GALLANT Observer Reporter

With the school year coming to a close, report cards for elementary students will be arriving in homes across the Quesnel school district the last day of school, June 25. Parents need to be aware there will be something extra in the report cards, student tickets to Skyfest 2015, Quesnel International Air Show.

Thanks to the commitment and support of RE/MAX, 1,875 tickets will be distributed to students in Grades K – 7, including North Cariboo Christian School and St. Ann’s school.

“We didn’t want to miss anyone,” RE/MAX sales representative Bobbi Momer said.

This is the second time the company has distributed student tickets and Momer said the Skyfest volunteers have been wonderful partners for this program.

“This year we’ll track the impact of the program,” she added.

The idea was to make family costs of Quesnel’s Airshow affordable and Momer said Skyfest 2015 is going to be a great family experience.

“One of the Quesnel Skyfest Society’s purposes is to promote and encourage an interest in aviation among the youth of the Cariboo and RE/MAX Quesnel Realty has partnered in this project by sponsoring the students of SD28,” Skyfest director Betsy van Halderen said.

“If for some reason you do not receive a Skyfest ticket with your child’s report card, get in touch with RE/MAX Quesnel Realty office, 355 St. Laurent Ave., in July.”

Momer went on to say how pleased the company was to be

involved with Skyfest.“As realtors we

deal with families all the time and this is a great way to give back to the community and families who support us,” she said.

The tickets are unique from other Skyfest tickets and so parents need to not only retrieve them from student report cards and backpacks but also keep them in a safe, visible spot to use during Skyfest 2015, July 31 – Aug. 2.

They are good for either Saturday or Sunday events.

Momer comes from a family who value volunteering and knows the kind of commitment it takes to stage such an impressive event.

“I remember the Snowbirds’ flyby during the Kelowna regattas,” she said with a smile.

Momer is looking forward to attending Skyfest 2015 and reliving the thrill of such demo teams as the Snowbirds, CF-18 and all the daring performers slated for the airshow.

RE/MAX has been encouraged to provide a company presence at the

airshow and in addition to their name on the student tickets, there will be an inflatable RE/MAX balloon on site.

As a realtor, Momer said partnering with Skyfest 2015 is important.

“We live here too, it’s our home,” she

said.“Communities

support us and in turn we really

appreciate that. We want to be part of these events and what makes Quesnel a wonderful place to live.”

The RE/MAX slogan is Make our home your home and Momer said that fits perfectly with supporting events such as Skyfest 2015.

“I hope everyone has fun and realizes the work of the army

of volunteers that it takes to make Skyfest the enormous success it is.”

Tickets (adult, youth, family and weekend camping package) for Skyfest 2015 are available

at Circle ‘S’ Western Wear, the Tourist Bureuu or online at www.quesnelskyfest.ca/tickets.

Mustang tickets can be purchased at various venues including Circle ‘S’,

CapIt or contact any Skyfest director.

On May 21, I went to Shiraoi House to observe the delegation students on their progress during a Japanese lesson. They were each practicing enunciating Japanese words for their introduction. To-moko went around to each one as they read their speech.

We could see the excitement in all their faces, as this delegation has about a month before they embark on their journey that will change their lives and nourish their imagi-nations forever.

Some of the students had so many questions, what if this happens or that?

“Don’t worry too much about things which may never happen,” Tomoko replied.

Later that afternoon the students got up and practised their dance, they will be performing in Shiraoi.

Then Tomoko went through their itinerary. Where they will be meet-ing in Vancouver Airport,   how long the trip will take to Japan, etc. There will be about a 11-hour jour-ney heading to one of the airports near Tokyo, Japan on the first leg of their busy schedule. They leave June 28 and arrive June 29 in the afternoon in Japan.

“Should we sleep on the plane?” one student asked.

Tomoko replied, yes you should

sleep as much as you can and whenever you can.  

“They will have a very busy schedule once they arrive in Ja-pan,” she added.

The delegation will stay on the main island of Honshu in Tokyo for few days, then on Shiraoi, Ja-pan on the island of Hokkaido.

While they are in Shiraoi, they will be staying with host families. Their days will be filled with differ-ent historic locations to share as a group. At other times they will be with their host families and experi-ence things their host families want to share with them.

“The students will have a panel discussion with the students in Shiraoi to exchange their culture and thoughts,” Tomoko said.  

This delegation will come back with many stories to share with the rest of the community. They re-turn to Canada July 10 and on this flight they will gain a day.    

My husband Bob and I traveled with a delegation to Shiraoi, Japan in 2006, so we know some of what this delegation will be experiencing this July.   We were very thankful for this opportunity to share the Japanese culture and see the sur-roundings.  

– submitted by Diane Graham Students worked hard on learning Japanese words they’ll use in their introduction once they arrive in Japan.

The Quesnel SeaLion’s first swim meet of the seasonWHITNEY GRIFFITHS

Observer Reporter

The Quesnel SeaLions are back in action and wasting no time having started training May 4 and taking on their first meet of the season in Mackenzie, May 30 – 31.

The SeaLions started the season with a bang and returned victorious from this first meet taking first place with 428 points. This was 165 points more than second place winner and host team the Mackenzie Rainbows.

Prince George swam to third and following in fourth was Dawson Creek.

The SeaLions had many individual aggregate winners at this event.

For girls division 1, Ava McGillivary placed first.

Taking first place in girls division 2 was Natalie Bergeron, while fellow SeaLion Taylor

McGillvary took third. Owen Larsen took first

place for the division 2 boys.

Bringing in yet another first place for Quesnel was girls division 3 swimmer Lauren Pastachak.

For division 3 boys, first place went to Shawn Fisher.

The SeaLions took first and second place in girls division 4 and division 5.

First place in division 4 was Audrey Jesperson, with Lucy Jesperson diving in for second place.

Olivia Crocker placed

first in division 5 girls and Megan Pastachak took second place.

Earning second place in division 5 boys was Dawson McGillivary.

First place for division 6 girls went to Baylee McGillivary.

And finally, swimming in for a second place win for division 6 boys was Logan Nixon.

With high scorers like this on the SeaLions team this year it’s no surprise that coach Chris McGauley is confident in the club’s ability to bring in provincial medals,

especially those who have not previously medalled, and even set a few more records this year.

“I would like to see lots of development in the club and lots of younger swimmers start swimming at a faster speed,” McGauley said.

“Just a lot of growth with the younger athletes. The older athletes I think are ready to start swimming fast, at provincials and upcoming meets we are going to be the ones to look out for. Our club’s definitely starting to get to the point

where we turn head at provincials.”

As well as practice and meets the SeaLions will also be participating in Hell Week swim camp, June 20 – 24.

Next up for the SeaLions is a swim meet in Fort St. John June 13 – 14.

The Quesnel Crossfire take on the Cowboy Ranch Stylers at a home game.Whitney Griffiths photo

WHITNEY GRIFFITHS Observer Reporter

Quesnel Employment Services Crossfire took on the competition at home, facing-off against the Cowboy Ranch Stylers Saturday, May 30.

The teams were well matched, neither gaining the upper hand early in the games.

By the end of the first period it was anyone’s games, with each team racing in for four goals.

Scoring for Crossfire was Devon Whalen, Bryston Waffle, Jess Wallace Webb and Jacob Sewebb.

Going into the second period with a tied score it seemed Crossfire burned with a new determination, wanting to leave the Styers scrambling to catch up and that they did.

During the second period Crossfire brought in seven goals and try as they might the Stylers only managed to get three goals by their opponents.

This left the Stylers four points behind going into the third and final period.

Scoring for Crossfire in the second period was Levi Robertson, bringing in two goals. Whalen ran by the Stylers for two goals as well.

Bringing in the other three goals for the home team was Eric Chrona, Dylan Cathcart and Jarret Moore.

Four goals behind, the Stylers needed to bring their A game to the final period if they had any hopes of winning the match.

Though the visiting team provided tough competition in the final period, scoring five goals in this period, Crossfire still maintained the lead.

Crossfire Robertson raced in for a goal on the Stylers and his third goal of the night.

Coming in for his second goal of the night was Waffle.

As the final buzzer sounded the score was 12-13 in favour of Crossfire.

It was a rough game for the Stylers racking up a total of 18 minutes of penalty time to Crossfire’s six.

Assists of the night went to Devon Whalen with five, Cole Daniels, Jess Wallace and Chase Ballendine all earned two assist points and racing in with one asset each was Levi Robertson, Dakota Gatzke and Greg Seigeurdson.

The next game for Crossfire is Thursday, June 11 against the Devils at the Twin Arenas. Come down and cheer on the local lacrosse talent.
