QUESNEL COMMUNITY FOUNDATION FAMILY CAMPAIGN

Did you know that The Quesnel Community Foundation has been offered a matching donation of 50,000? There are many founding families or individuals that deserve to be remembered. What better time than now! If $50,000 is raised by Dec. 15th 2012 that matching donation of $50,000 doubles up to $100,000 toward the fund. The time is now to establish a family fund. $5000 is the amount needed to set up a family fund but you can also build a family fund over time with smaller family or personal contributions. Your money would be invested along with the matching donation and the Quesnel community will bene� t from the interest. By creating a Family Fund, you will establish a legacy of giving for our community that will continue for many years. So if have you been thinking of what to buy your mom, your dad or a friend for Christmas , birthday or anniversary WHY NOT START A FAMILY FUND IN THEIR NAME. Join these families - John T Richardson, the Keis family, Glen & Loretta Barr, Harry & Mildred Keen, Brian & Ann Rankin, the Warden Family and many more you can � nd listed in the community report. Why not yours? For more information on how to start a Family Fund, please visit our website at www.quesnelcommunityfoundation.ca or call Dan Canuel at 250-992-6392

ANNIE GALLANTObserver Reporter

Quesnel was hit hard by an large early snow storm. Beginning on Sunday and continuing until early afternoon Monday, drivers were challenged with as much as 12 inches of snow in the Bouchie Lake area and several inches elsewhere.

HMC area manager John Andrushko said the roads were bare south of Marguerite Ferry and even Prince George, where the majority of the snow was predicted, received less than our area.

HMC’s winter shifts were in place in the Wells area Oct. 14 and in Quesnel were slated for full winter shifts Oct. 28.

However Andrushko said they were out overnight Friday with wet snow and rain already falling.

“We were out Saturday, all night Saturday night and Sunday we were out with everything we had,” he said.

“Every grader and piece of equipment was on the road.”

They continued to work on the roads right through Sunday night and Monday morning and once the snow stopped for a while Monday afternoon, Andrushko said they took the opportunity to do some clean up.

“We were salting as well, in prep of the next snow fall.

That leaves some salt residue for a bit of a jump on the next weather event.”

He went on to say they’re now fully on winter shifts and all their sand and salt piles are in place along with salt brine also ready to go.

“We’re watching all the forecasts and if there’s any question of weather getting close, we have people on shift and on call for overtime to make sure we are prepared.”

With the weather forecast for much warmer temperatures by the weekend, Andrushko said this is a good wake up call for the public and a good test of their equipment.

He remarked about seeing many vehicles in the various tire outlets on his way in to town.

“It’s definitely snow tire time,” he said.

Andrushko advises the public they can call the office at any time, night or day, for conditions HMC might not be aware of and also suggests

people check drivebc website where they can not only find what road conditions exist but also view the webcams for our area.

“There’s lots of information out there for the public

to know the conditions,” he said.

He also wanted to remind the public to be aware that plows and other snow removal equipment are now on the road regularly and advises drivers never to pass these vehicles, especially on the right side.

“It’s hard for our machinery drivers to see vehicles behind them,”

Andrushko said.“Be patient, they’ll

pull over when its safe to do so and let traffic get by them.

“But personally, I prefer to slow down and stay behind the plow.”

Front Street was slow-going Monday morning. Karen Powell photo

“This is going to be awesome,” said my friend, Jaden, as we pulled into the parking lot of the haunted corn maze.

“Yeah I can’t wait,” I replied.

When we got out of the car, we started to walk toward the colossal field of corn, when we saw some of our ringette friends.

We exchanged hellos and decided that we would go through the corn maze together.

When we got to the entrance, we slowly started to walk into it.

In the background, you could hear screaming and yelling and the chainsaw.

I heard about the man with the chainsaw from my older brother.

He said he pops out of the corn and revs his

chainsaw at you.I shuddered at the idea of

encountering him.As we kept walking, we

came to a fork in the path.We looked to the path

to our right and saw a zombie guy standing there staring at us!

So we decided to go on the other path.

As we were walking, I looked back and saw the zombie guy following us, so I said “hey guys,” and

they all looked back and screamed so loud that it almost shattered my eardrums.

About two minutes later, the sound of chainsaw sounded like it was one turn away.

So we turned the corner and saw…nothing.

We all said, “oh it must be around the next corner.”

All of a sudden, “VRRAMMM!”

He jumped out of the

corn and into the middle of the path!

So we all just booked it through the middle of the corn until we found a path we could take.

Finally we reached the end.

Jaden and I said goodbye to everyone and headed back to her vehicle and her mom drove me home.

That was the best haunted corn maze I’ve been to yet!

KYLE EGGERTGrade 3, Barlow Creek

Once upon a time there was a little boy named Timmy. One day he went for a bike ride to the store to get a chocolate bar.

When he was going home, he heard something in the graveyard. It sounded like screaming so he parked his bike. He went in and it got louder.

He went to the end of the graveyard and saw a huge house. It had slime dripping from the roof and spiders on the wall. He ran to his bike faster than he ever did before.

He was finally on his bike heading home. He got home by dinnertime. He grabbed all the supplies he needed.

At 12 a.m. he left to the graveyard. He went in the big scary house. When he got in, the only light was a candle that wasn’t lit. So he got out his lighter and lit it. There wasn’t much light so he got a flashlight and turned it on. He shined it on the wall. There was a door covered in bushes. He went in and got bit by a vampire. He turned into a vampire and partied with all the other monsters.

Once upon a time there was a ghost who wouldn’t stop scaring me.

Jake woke up and went to the bathroom it showed up in front of him.

It was white, that’s all.

He saw a monster ghost.

It was very scary and Jake heard kids running around in the hallway. It scared everyone in town.

It went house to house, on and on, each night until someone in this town captured him.

3 hrs of labour, Inland Kenworth - $300 valueRemote Starter - Bear Communications - $170 valueDeluxe Tim Horton’s Gift Basket - $75 value

At its last meeting, council approved upgrading the transit � eet by replacing three aging “Polar” buses with two new “Vicinity” and one “ARBOC” bus.

Staff brought forward a revised plan that would see two additional aging Polar buses replaced by two ARBOC vehicles, one year ahead of schedule.

The additional cost is $8,000 over three years.

It is estimated that cost increase will be offset by savings in maintenance to the older buses.

Once complete, the new � eet of buses will be low-� oor, easy-entry buses, improving accessibility.

Other newsThe city will provide

three loads of gravel for the upcoming Rotary Auction. This falls in line with past practice and costs the

city about $600. Council approved

the sale of a city-owned property at 1340 Twan Avenue. The city acquired the property at tax sale in 2001, and leased it out until 2012; it is currently vacant.

Sealed bids will be accepted at city hall until 2 p.m. PST on Friday Nov. 23.

A local volunteer � re� ghter will be deployed to either Peru or Panama as part of the Fire� ghters Without Borders Canada program.

It’s an opportunity to share training and experience with a foreign � re service.

Council approved using approximately $1,500 from the volunteer training budget to support the initiative.

A request to create a Community Garden at 325 Lewis Drive (near the skating rink) was approved.

The Climate Action Group, in coordination with the Baker Creek Enhancement Society, made the request, which would see city property used for the initiative.

This same group has run a successful garden at Quesnel Junior School for the past three years.

It provides bags of fresh produce for those in need. Council also approved providing $4,800 to

install a water service at the site.

Council approved the city renewing its Building Inspection Agreement with the District of Wells.

The new contract expires Dec. 31, 2016.

The fee for 2012 was $1,500; that fee will increase by the Consumer Price Index percentage each year.

B.C. Liberal delegates gathered for their convention on the

weekend at the Chateau Whistler, the same luxury hotel where Gordon Campbell fired up the troops in 2008.

Back then the advertising slogan was “Keep B.C. Strong.” Unveiled at Premier Christy Clark’s pre-election pep rally: “Together. Building BC.”

This slight change hints at the big difference. Campbell led a front-running party to a third straight majority, while Clark is a struggling underdog pleading for unity to turn back an NDP tsunami.

Hence “Free Enterprise Friday,” a discussion open to non-party members. Clark began with an upbeat speech urging party members to “reach out our arms, open the tent and be as big as we can possibly be.”

So did they?Dashing between three

concurrent sessions, I missed a fair amount of it, but there were some provocative suggestions to appeal to those inclined to support the resurgent B.C. Conservatives.

An accountant spoke to a packed room about the

growing unfunded liability of public sector pensions, most of which are still of the “defined benefit” variety. Based on bond interest rates that have since sunk to all-time lows, these government-guaranteed pensions are now a free ride for those lucky enough to have them, funded by the taxes of private sector workers who, in many cases, have no pension plan at all. There was talk of passing a law that all new public sector hires be restricted to a “defined contribution” plan where the employee and employer contribute equally and the pension is based on what those contributions yield.

This would provoke the mother of all confrontations with the B.C. Federation of Labour, but there was no evidence yet this is going beyond the talking stage.

The resolutions continued

the theme of confronting the labour movement, ritual combat that seems to be an inescapable part of B.C. elections.

Delegates passed two motions, one calling for public sector unions to disclose what they spend on salaries, political activities and lobbying and another advocating a ban on unions spending compulsory dues on political campaigns.

This is a pet project of Nechako Lakes MLA John Rustad, whose constituency sponsored both motions. Rustad presented a private member’s bill last year to require detailed disclosure, but it was left to die on the order paper.

Like all the policy resolutions debated at the convention, these ideas are not binding on the government.

Again, there is no actual change on the horizon.

Delegates rejected another motion that would have made membership in the B.C. Teachers’ Federation optional.

This would have been a declaration of war on B.C.’s most militant union, just as Clark and Education Minister Don McRae embark on a long-shot bid to end the decades of

confrontation that have defined that relationship since teachers were relegated to the industrial union model of labour relations.

There was a brief debate on a motion to scrap the carbon tax, sponsored by northern members who see it as unfairly punitive on those who endure cold weather and long highway drives for themselves and the goods they need to have trucked in.

This was rejected too, after delegates were reminded that the tax now takes in more than $1 billion annually that is used to reduce business and personal income taxes.

Scrapping it would amount to announcing across-the-board income tax hikes, contradicting 12 years of B.C. Liberal policy just before an election.

The good news for Clark is that the 2012 convention was a high-energy, well-attended event that contradicts the notion of a party in disarray.

The bad news is, nothing has really changed.

Little new in B.C. Liberal renewal

B.C. ViewsTom Fletcher

Money talks

Days away from the presidential election our American neighbours are

finding out how much $2 billion looks like. And it’s looking a lot like a massive

money-pit, championed by negative spin doctors. Comparing Mitt Romney and Barack

Obama, the New York Times, has an impressive list of money raised, spent, allocated and leftover. Obama’s team, to the end of

September, had raised $934M and spent $852.9M. Mitt Romney’s camp had raised $881.8M and spent $752.2M.As of Oct.17, Obama had reserves

of $134.7M, while Romney sat a bit prettier (by cash flow standards) with a total of $193.3M in reserves. Overwhelming TV ads, door-

knocking, mail-outs, pop-up ads, print, radio – name it and the two candidates have covered their campaign bases.And while no one can scoff at the

power of advertising, the massive ad campaigns launched by both parties has turned the election into an ad campaign, rather than an issue-based one. And it seems both camps knew it

from the get go.This is the first year both presidential

candidates agreed to opt out of a system that sets limits on how much each party can raise and spend. Had they went with the financing system of capping funding efforts, both would have been tied to a maximum of approximately $100M.But it seems both knew they would

raise and spend much more. It raises concerns of outside money

sources, influential big-money backers and reeks of a need for financing reform. The American people should be

paying attention to the issues, the candidates and their platforms, not who had the most commercials or the best zingers. This type of over-financed, un-

regulated campaigning leaves far too much room for further corruption and big money controlling our already endangered democratic system.

Editor:An open letter to mayor and council.I am writing because I was absolutely

devastated to discover the conditions that my neighbours in Red Bluff have been living in.

I thought lack of access to potable water was a third world problem. Apparently not.

The Lhtako Dene Nation has been requesting that they be able to pay for access to city water for seven years now.

I have heard the argument that Lha tako Dene should not be given access

to City water while there are still residents within City limits without it. (Racing Road, Dragon Lake etc.) However, these residents all have access to safe water.

If the Lhatako Dene Nation is willing to contribute all costs, I do not see how anyone with drop of humanity in them could say no.

This is injustice. We have an opportunity here to build some bridges.

Everyone can safely shake their heads at historical wrongs, but let’s do something now before we go down in history as the next generation who didn’t give a damn.

Thanking you in advance,Christine Kinnie

Quesnel

CAPSULE COMMENTSSafeway

With Jessica Joly B.Sc. (Pharm)The folic acid found in prenatal vitamin formulas is essential in preventing neural tube defects in the developing fetus. These defects can develop within 28 days after conception so it is important to start taking prenatal supplements about three months before planning to become pregnant. Continue taking them throughout pregnancy and breastfeeding as well.Donating blood is a very selfless thing to do. It is easy to do, too and you can’t catch any disease by donating. You can donate every eight weeks but if each Canadian eligible to donate did it only twice yearly, there would be enough blood for all medical needs. Our Canadian blood system is the safest it has ever been.Readers of this column know we are great supporters of regular walking as an exercise. Using walking poles can be useful especially when walking over uneven terrain. Used properly, the poles help exercise the upper body muscles more and help us maintain our balance better. Many medicines originate in nature, so it’s no surprise when it’s found that the lavender plant reduces the number of falls in the elderly in nursing homes. In the study, they used patches infused with lavender comparing it to unscented patches. However, lavender oil could provide the same benefit.Whatever the source of new medication therapies, we make it our job to know about them.

Drake had the stu-pidest costume ever.

He wanted to be Darth Vader but he looked like Darth Hobo.

His mother wouldn’t buy him a Darth Va-der costume because it was too expensive.

“Drake Sweeny,” his mother said, “if you want a costume that expensive, you can buy it yourself.”

So he had.An old cracked

Darth Vader mask,

a ripped cape and a black shirt and pants.

It was Halloween night, Drake put his costume on and grabbed a pillow case and � ashlight, ready to depart.

Just as Drake was about to leave, his older brother Parry asked if he could go to his friend Evan’s house, of course he got to go, his brother got everything.

Drake left the house and went down the street to the left and visited all the houses on his road.

When he � nished with his road, he went on to the next street which happened to have Will and Chester on it.

He was just about to ring the doorbell on the � rst house when a blob of chewed double bubble hit the back of his head.

He turned around to see Will and Chester, his arch nemeses with their hands full of gumballs.

Chester threw an-other gumball and hit the eye hole

of his mask.Only able to see

through one eye, he ran.

While he ran, he tore off the gumball and turned around to see that a hose was spraying at Will and Chester.

A hose can’t spray by itself and he thought that he heard the laughing of Parry and Evan, then he saw their silhouettes as Will and Chester ran away with their sopping wet candy.

Death comes to everyone.

It takes compassion and understanding to be a hospice/palliative care volunteer who is trained to be a companion with a listening role for both the dying and their family.

Susan Peck has volunteered for the past year.

“I always felt I wanted to do this type of volunteer work,” she said.

“I lost both my parents suddenly and didn’t have a chance to say good-bye, however I did get that chance with my stepmother and it was a very different journey.”

Peck’s role with hospice/palliative care is to visit people in the Hospice/Respite unit at Dunrovin Park Lodge where she introduces herself and is available should the person or their family need anything.

“Hospice is the best environment for both those dying and their families,” she added.

“Everyone gets a lot out of being here and it eases many of the issues including medical.”

Peck also comment-ed that today’s society is a death-denying one.

“150 years ago people died at home with everyone around them.”

James Waldon has been a hospice/pallia-tive care volunteer for the past 12 years and sees his role as reach-ing out to the com-munity and helping people at the worst time in their lives.

His volunteer work takes him mostly to home visits as well as co-facilitating the grief recovery group.

“It keeps me going, I know the pain and suffering and I want to help others,” he said.

Once families re-quest a volunteer, that volunteer becomes part of the patient’s health care team and

provides input on the patient’s health man-agement.

A request for hospice/palliative volunteer services can result from information supplied by medical staff, word of mouth or other sources and as a result, volunteers are assigned to the person living with a life-threatening illness and their family.

Maureen Upton also has 12 years of hospice/palliative care volunteer experience.

“Sometimes the � rst thing they need is a bit of respite from the bedside of a loved one,” she said.

“Death has no time line and families can burn out.”

She added many don’t have family close by and volun-teers � ll the gaps when family can’t be there.

As a companion with a listening role, Upton said they certainly talk of dying

but often its just con-versations about life.

Upton said it was an honour to be the per-son the dying person con� des in.

Waldon added vol-unteers help families in the transition from this life to the next.

“As they progress and get sicker, fami-lies get exhausted and we’re there to sit with the person,” he said.

“We are a comfort to those who don’t want to die alone. Providing comfort, even just the presence of another person or a hand on their shoul-der, can be a help and its very rewarding to the volunteer know-ing they’ve been of service.”

Every volunteer receives a minimum of 30 hours training before they take up their duties and part of that training is be-

ing able to handle death in the con-text of their own lives.

“We’re a happy lot in general and we laugh a

lot,” Peck said.Upton added every-

thing said to a volun-teer is con� dential.

“We’re not known as chatty,” she said.

Karin Lynch, co-or-dinator of volunteers and grief support for the Quesnel and Dis-trict Hospice Pallia-tive Care Association (QDHPCA), said be-ing comfortable with discussions about death and dying is important for those grieving.

However, she added part of her role is monitoring volunteers and keeping them refreshed.

“Volunteers have said that being a volunteer has helped them through their own grieving,” Lynch said.

“Learning and ex-periencing death this way is non-stressful.”

Peck said often, for the volunteer, it’s giv-ing back, especially if they’ve reaped the bene� ts of a palliative care volunteer.

But every volunteer’s primary concern is what the patient wants or needs.

“Not all patients are maudlin,” Upton said.

“Some just want to talk about their life.”

She said they often read to patients and they also sing and pray if that’s what the person wants.

Waldon added each situation is different and volunteers use their own judgement as to what patients’ needs are and how personal the conver-sation becomes.

Lynch said they always advise families to come visit sooner rather than later while the dying can still communicate.

“However, at the moment of death the goal is to have peace – whatever that means to the person,” she said.

If this kind of vol-unteering appeals to

you, sign up is ongo-ing. Each potential volunteer must have a criminal record search, references, be interviewed and par-ticipate in 30 hours of training before volunteering begins. The program focuses on the philosophy of hospice palliative care, the role of the volunteer and the health care team. Communication skills, self-awareness and issues surround-ing death and dying, spirituality, cultural awareness, grief and loss and self care are explored. Volunteers are asked to com-mit to a minimum of three hours a week.

QDHPCA volun-teers support individ-uals and families in their homes, in hos-pital, in the hospice unit, in residential care and also offers a bereavement support group.

For information on becoming a volunteer or those in need of volunteer services, contact Lynch at 250-985-5815.

We’re a death-denying society. 150 years ago people died at home

JONAS GAGNONObserver Reporter

A snazzy ‘Roos team, decked out in new hockey pants, faced off against two very different teams, for two very different games, over the weekend, with a win and a loss to show for it.

Going into Saturday’s game the coaches and the players knew it would be difficult, citing last year’s unbeaten streak in the regular season.

And the game proved to be a tough one, with the ‘Roos going down 5-1 to a strong Steelheads team, backed by a very strong goalie in Mike Wall.

“That’s the standard. That’s what the league is right there. That’s the best team and if we want to do something that’s the team we have to beat.” Coach Brian Kozak said, adding the team had the rest of the season to grow.

The ‘Roos came out strong. The first saw some very fast, competitive hockey from both teams, with some nice chances and nice saves on both ends.

The period stayed tight through the first ten minutes until Mike Kaluzny, in his first game with the ‘Roos, took a shouldering penalty, leaving the ‘Roos down a man, which the Steelheads took advantage of, with Ryan DeVries taking the shot that finally made its way past ‘Roos’ goalie Ryan Manderson, putting the ‘Roos under pressure.

Manderson did his best to keep his team in the game, logging 16 saves through 20 minutes, but the ‘Roos couldn’t find the back of the net, despite some chances that had Wall standing on his head.

In the second, the Steelheads found momentum, keeping the ‘Roos on their heels for the duration of the period.

The Steelheads’ Jody Pederson opened up the scoring in the second with a shot from the point four and a half minutes in. Three minutes later Bobby Smith would get another through some heavy traffic in front of the net. Their third of the period came Courtesy of Rob Miller, on quick wrist shot through traffic.

The ‘Roos posted a couple nice chances with some nice rebounds, but Wall made like his name and stopped everything that came his way.

In the third, things got rougher, with a bevy of penalties being handed out in an otherwise free-flowing game.

The ‘Roos kept the period even, with each team netting a goal a piece.

The Steelheads’ came courtesy of a wrist shot from Mark Arnold at 11:38, while the ‘Roos got their point in style,

with Justin Fulton feeding a pass on a rush to Levon Johnson in front of the net, who one-timed it past Wall to break the shutout.

Sunday’s game opened with the ‘Roos hitting the ice with everything they had, in a fast, rough win over the Houston Luckies, 8-3.

“Nobody should come into this rink and feel comfortable and I think the guys did that well,” assistant coach Bob Marsh said.

Mike Kaluzny got the opener not quite three minutes in, burying a rebound which pinged off a post.

A three man rush got the ‘Roos their second, with a soft shot by Fulton

dribbling through the legs of Colton Wardrop three quarters of the way through the first.

Not two minutes later Johnson got another one through on a rush with Fulton, who fed it to Johnson in front of the net for the assist.

The second began with a couple of fights, and a couple of game misconducts, which decimated the Luckies’, already shallow, bench, leaving the team with only four skaters on the bench.

The bumping

continued for the rest of the second, with the ‘Roos down to three skaters at one point and fights breaking out, or threatening to break out, for much of the second.

The ‘Roos continued to score through the second, piggybacking goals with two early and two late.

The first flurry of goals came within a minute of each other with Fulton scoring his second of the night, followed by the Luckies’ Tyler Poznikoff scoring not 15 seconds later. Joey MacDonald capped the flurry within a minute with a quick wrist shot past Wardrop.

Scoring didn’t resume until late in the period, with Fulton finishing up a hat trick at with two and a half minute left, followed by Johnson netting his second 15 seconds later.

In the third, the game calmed down as the Luckies didn’t have players to spare.

The Luckies opened up the scoring, with two goals in the first seven minutes, closing in on the ‘Roos.

The ‘Roos wound back up in the last half of the period, with Curtis Gassoff netting his first of the night at 11 and a half minutes and Joel Boyetchko netting a goal in the final two minutes.

Ted Law was escorted off after getting hit by a stray stick on the bench, which resulted in bleeding from the neck area. After cleaning it, John Norman, the team’s trainer, saw the cut was on his jaw line. Law stayed out of the game due to a concussion from the incident.

1st overall vs winner game 17 1

JONAS GAGNONObserver Reporter

A pair of teams have kept themselves on top of the Quesnel Super League for the first three weeks without a single loss.

DLE and A&W both have kept their 3-0 record stirling.

DLE kept their record shiny against wily Willis Harper.

The DLE boys pulled off a big come from behind win over Willis Harper scoring four in the last two ends for a 6-5 stinger over the new team. Harper now sits at an uneven win and two losses.

A&W shone their record against Frank's Supermarket.

They continued their winning ways with an 11-3 convincing win over Frank's (previously Handi Self Storage). A&W scored four in the second and three in the fourth for a 7-3 lead going into the fifth. Stealing four more in the fifth, the boys from Frank's didn't feel like having ice cream that night, with their record a now lopsided win with two losses.

CDC and Cariboo Pulp have a

slightly tarnished record, with a loss taking bit of shine off their two wins.

It was Karin's Health Foods, notching their first win of the season, that brought the first marks to CDC's near-steak of wins, the first notch in Karin's win column.

They controlled most of the game, with the score sitting at six to three after six ends. Which the health girls scored three in the seventh to end the game.

On sheet E Cariboo Pulp were shining up their record, with a win over Billy Barker, their second loss of the season to put them at 1 win and two losses, with Cariboo Pulp having the exact opposite record – two wins and a loss.

A key three-ender in the sixth end allowed Cariboo Pulp to coast to a 7-6 win over Billy Barker.

Investors Group made short work of JAR Tansportation to get their first win of the season. JAR has yet to see victory on the sheets.

The action continues Wednesday evening.
