AUTUMN MacDONALDObserver Reporter

After a rash of thefts Quesnel and Prince George RCMP are team-ing up.

A small organized group of persons are believed re-sponsible.

Summary of incidents:• At approximately noon

May 30, a member of the RCMP’s regional provin-cial traffic services unit based out of Quesnel ob-served what was believed to be two men attempting to steal a skid steer trac-tor and trailer on Dennis Road in the community. The two suspects fled the area in what was later confirmed to be the Ford F250 stolen from Jenson Road in Prince George, May 28. The two suspects abandoned the vehicle and

fled into a wooded area off Northstar road in Quesnel. Prince George RCMP’s Police Service Dog ‘Astro’ and his handler attended the area and successfully tracked the suspects more than 1.5 kilometres into the wooded area.

One suspect surrendered to officers and was found in possession of bear spray. The other suspect received minor injuries as a result of wounds sustained from a dog bite. He was treated in hospital and released back into custody.

• On the morning of May 28, Prince George RCMP received a report of a stolen black Ford F250 from a residence on Jensen Road on the west side of the city. The vehicle was taken sometime overnight. The keys were left in the vehicle.

• During the early morn-ing hours of May 29, a gate to a commercial prop-erty on 22nd Avenue was rammed and a green Ford F350 pick-up was taken. In addition, two other pick-ups were attempted to be stolen.

• May 29 at approxi-mately 4:30 a.m., there was an attempt to steal a trailer with an excavator from a residence on Forest Avenue in the Pinewood area of Prince George. Investigators believe the green Ford F350 stolen from 22nd Avenue was used in this attempted theft.

• Sometime between 10 p.m. May 29 and 6 a.m. May 30, a grey Ford F150 pick-up was stolen from a driveway on Kovachich Road in the Blackburn area of Prince George.

• Sometime between 10 p.m. May 29 and 6 a.m. May 30, a red Chevro-let Silverado pick-up was taken from the driveway of a residence on the 1800 block of 12th Avenue.

• May 30 at approxi-mately 2:30 a.m., Prince George RCMP were called to the Purden Lake area for a report of a truck on fire.

The truck was complete-ly burned. Investigators have been able to identify the truck as the Chevrolet Silverado stolen from 12th Avenue.

• On the morning of May 30, the stolen green Ford F350 from 22nd Avenue was recovered, abandoned on Highway 97 south of Prince George;

• While police attended the address on Highway 97 south, a neighbour re-

ported a stolen side by side ATV and trailer. Sometime overnight the 2013 Polaris Ranger six seat ATV was taken from the property. In the process, approxi-mately $5,000 damage was done to the gate of the property.

• The morning of May 30, Prince George RCMP received a report of an attempted theft of a Ford Ranger pick-up from a residence on Baker Road. Valuables were in the ve-hicle, but were not taken.

• During the early eve-ning May 30, Prince George RCMP received information from the pub-lic that an ATV and trailer believed to have been sto-len was on a property on Vanhill Road in Prince George. Police attended, located and seized a side by side ATV and trailer

that was confirmed to have been stolen from Highway 97 south earlier in the day. Police were also able to locate and seize the Ford F350 stolen from Kovachich Road earlier in the day.

The suspects were not lo-cated and investigators do not believe the property owner is a participant in these criminal offences.

Charges have now been sworn against the two sus-pects arrested in Quesnel on May 30.

Dale Al West, a 33-year-old Prince George resi-dent, is facing charges of theft over $5,000, posses-sion of property obtained by crime over $5,000, fail-ure to stop for police, and possession of a prohibited weapon.

CRD presents top invasive plants speciesDANIKA M. HÉBERT

Observer Reporter

The Cariboo Regional District has named its top ten invasive plants.

These invasive plants, or noxious weeds, are hard to get rid of and can destroy biodiversity.

Their unpalatable nature make invasive plant species an economic problem as it reduces the quality and quantity of natural forage available for cattle ranchers.

Invasive plants also threaten habitat because their aggressive nature causes them to out-compete native species and displace them.

Invasive plants are spread in a variety of ways, mostly due to human activity.

Gardeners should be aware of any invasive plant species in their gardens and make sure they control them and dispose of them properly.

The top ten invasive species listed by the

CRD are:• Baby’s Breath:

a perennial which can withstand dry climates and spreads by seed. Baby’s Breath chokes out native vegetation and reduces forage for livestock.

• Knotweed spp.: quickly becoming a problem in many areas globally, this species resembles bamboo and invades wetlands. Knotweed blocks sunlight, erode shorelines and out-compete native species.

•Himalayan Balsam: The Himalayan Balsam can be distinguished by its pink and white flowers, which resemble orchids. This species is often planted in gardens, from where, if not kept under control, it escape and takes over natural habitat, causing shoreline erosion as well as reducing native plant habitat.

Invasive plants in the Cariboo threaten native speciesfrom A2

• Mountain Bluet: this species is resilient as it is sun, drought and shade tolerant. The Mountain Bluet spreads by root and seed, making it hard to eradicate. It produces a bright purple flower.

• Himalayan Blackberry: this invasive species came to North America from Europe in the 1800’s for its fruit. Himalayan Blackberry can spread through seeds which are transported by birds as well as human transplanting of canes for fruit.

• English Ivy: this plant is often planted into gardens, where it can escape and take over surrounding forests. The English Ivy can engulf trees and shrubs and can reach heights of 50 metres and depths of 1 metre.

• Purple Loosestrife: the thing which makes the Purple Loosestrife a particularly invasive plant is its ability to adapt to environmental changes as well as its ability to dominate terrestrial and aquatic environments. Purple Loosestrife are easily identified with their spiky purple flowers on top of square stems.

• Yellow Flag Iris: this toxic species create infestations of plants with pale to dark yellow flowers and blade-like leaves. These flowers are reducing natural habitat and narrowing waterways.

• Flowering Rush: one of the top five alien plants in Canada, the Flowering Rush is a European native plant which is an aquatic perennial. The Flowering Rush produces white and pink flowers and its formation of leaves, which are triangular in cross-section.

• Common Periwinkle: this European plant can be distinguished by its purple flowers and glossy green leaves. Periwinkles in garden clippings

can escape property boundaries and take over ecosystems.

The Cariboo Regional District offers many resources for those who wish to eradicate establishments of invasive plants on their properties.

One of the easiest ways to prevent the widespread of invasive plant species is properly disposing of them.

To dispose of the clippings properly, collect them in a heavy plastic bag and bring them to a landfill.

Alternatively, pack out flowers and seeds and leave uprooted plants to dry out and decay.

Yellow Flag Iris infesta-tions take over bodies of water, choking out native plants and contributing to erosion.

After a long and valiant battle against numerous medical problems, Pat passed away on May 28, 2013.

Devoted wife to Lawrence, cherished mother of Margaret (Dave), Marilyn (Greg), and Jim (Christine). Loving sister to Tom Windt (Dauna) and Bob Windt (Doris). Proud grandmother of Heidi, Trisha, Megan, Leighton, and Hunter, and great-grandchildren Alexis, Darien, Christopher and Brock. She will be lovingly remembered by her cousins, nieces, and nephews, and a wide circle of friends. Pat was predeceased by her daughter Lorraine (1972), mother Alice Windt (1984), father Thomas E Windt (1985), and sister Lorene Harris Rome (2009).

Pat was born in Quesnel in 1929, and grew up on the family farm three miles south of Australian. The original log home built in 1901 is still standing. Pat and Lawrence were married in 1949, and purchased 40 acres on Hold road. They resided there until 1957, when Lawrence went to work for Westcoast Transmission in Australian. In 1967, they were transferred to Fort St. John and lived in that area of the province for the next 20 years. When Lawrence retired in 1988, they returned to Kersley.

Pat always had a smile and an encouraging word for anyone she met. She was an organizer, and wherever they lived, she was always actively involved in the community, making lifelong friends along the way. She was an accomplished curler, an avid golfer, and loved working in her garden. Pat and Lawrence put thousands of miles on their motorhome, travelling with family and friends to the Queen Charlotte Islands, Parsnip River, Arizona and across Canada and the US.

When health issues limited her mobility, Pat learned to use the computer, and took on the role of family historian, spending many long hours researching and recording information for the family tree. She also helped document the history of the Kersley Women’s Institute, and provided valuable historical information for the Kersley reunion committee.In addition to her activity with the Kersley WI, Pat was also instrumental in setting up the Quesnel chapter of the Osteoporosis Support Group.

The family would like to thank all those who helped her to continue living at home, especially her friends Norma Harrison and Lori Coumont, and Lorna from Cherished Moments HC services.Cremation has taken place. At Pat’s request, a Celebration of Life will be held at a later date, when all her family and friends can be together.

Expressions of sympathy through a donation to the Heart & Stroke Foundation, or Osteoporosis Society will be appreciated.

I’m FreeDon’t grieve for me now, for now I’m free.

I’m following the path God laid for me.I took God’s hand when I heard the call;

I turned my back and left it allI could not stay another day

To laugh, to love, to work or playTasks left undone must stay that way,

I found that place at the close of the day.If my parting has left a void,

Then fill it with remembered joy.A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss.

Ah, yes, these things, I too will miss.Be not burdened with times of sorrow,I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow.

My life’s been full, I savored much,Good friends, good times, a loved one’s touch.

Perhaps my time seemed all to brief;Don’t lengthen it now with undue griefLift up your heart and share with me-God wanted me now, God set me free.

NEWSCome check us out on Facebook today!Taseko Mines has partnered with

the British Columbia Aboriginal Mine Training Association (BC AMTA), with a number of initia-tives to support educating First Nations on the mining industry in the Cariboo Region.

BC AMTA, a federally registered charity, prepares First Nations candidates for sustainable careers within the full cycle of mining including exploration, develop-ment, operations and reclamation. The charity is associated with six schools across B.C., including Thompson Rivers University in Williams Lake.

Taseko has donated office space to BC AMTA’s Williams Lake Chapter, which will serve as the chapter’s office as well as an edu-cation center for mining associated training and courses. Located next door to Taseko, the space is condu-cive to training opportunities from Taseko and Gibraltar staff, allow-ing the students to learn firsthand about a career in Mining.

“BC AMTA provides more than training and jobs, it provides change. Change that drives opti-mism and hope, not only for the candidates that successfully earn jobs, but for the whole commu-nity,” Sharon McLeod, BC AMTA Regional Manager, BC Northeast campus said.

“We are excited to partner with Taseko and to provide First Na-tions youth the opportunity to

learn firsthand about the roles in mining in order to prepare them for a long and successful career.”

The most recent mining skills for an entry-level workforce program had 37 graduates. Taseko-Gibral-tar hired graduate Lance Williams from the Xatsull First Nation. Lance, who started with the Com-pany in April hopes to further his career path in mining.

Brian Battison Taseko Vice Presi-dent, Corporate Affairs stated, “Jobs for First Nations build stronger communities. At Taseko, we look forward to our partner-ship with BC AMTA and providing opportunities for long term, stable employment for local First Nations in the Cariboo Region. These op-portunities will allow First Nations members, particularly youth, to train and work where they live and remain in their communities.”

Today, mining is the largest pri-vate-sector employer of First Na-tions people in Canada.

Contact: Christy Smith manager, Community and Aboriginal Affairs 250 392-3100 for information on Taseko’s support for BC AMTA.

Taseko Mines Limited is a public-ly traded British Columbia based mining company with properties including: the Aley Niobium Proj-ect, the 75 per cent owned Gibral-tar Copper-Molybdenum Mine, the New Prosperity Gold-Copper Project, and the Harmony Gold Project.

Taseko teams with BC AMTARCMP looking for witnesses

mer Prince George resident that now resides in Quesnel, is facing charges of theft over $5,000, possession of property obtained by crime over $5,000, failure to stop for police, and resisting arrest.

Quesnel RCMP are looking for more wit-nesses to the attempted theft of the skid steer tractor and trailer that occurred on Dennis Road May 30 at approximately noon.

Call Cpl. Stu Murray of the Quesnel De-tachment if you have any information that can further this investigation at 250-992-9211, or his cell, 250-991-2833.

The RCMP believe these offences are con-nected and that a small organized group of suspects are carrying them out.

Prince George RCMP are actively seeking two well known prolific offenders thought to be responsible for many of the above crimes. Arrest warrants are pending against a 24-year-old man and a 32-year-old man, both from Prince George.

All pick-up truck, ATV and light equip-ment owners are being urged to take extra precaution securing their property.

If you have any information about these Criminal offences, contact the Prince George RCMP 250-561-3300, the Quesnel RCMP 250-992-9211 or anonymously contact Crime Stoppers, 1(800)222-8477, online at www.pgcrimestoppers.bc.ca (English only), or Text-A-Tip to CRIMES (274637) using keyword “pgtips”.


Obituary Tribute

A vivacious, loving, and beautiful person has left us behind. Theresa Cundi� passed away peacefully at Cranbrook hospital on May 27, 2013. Theresa’s thoroughly satisfying life in Kimberley was uprooted eight months ago with the onset of an aggressive leukemia. She endured intense medical treatment with remarkable fortitude and grace. Life had previously been so wonderful she wanted more, but it was not to be.

Theresa was a conscientious, highly-respected teacher in the Kimberley School District for thirty-one years. The majority of her career was spent at Chapman Camp Elementary School. She positively a� ected the lives of countless students and was the creative and musical force behind many a school production.

She retired at � fty-� ve years of age and never looked back. She was o� on a new adventure and it was the best time of her life. Material possessions did not mean a lot to Theresa, she was more interested in relationships and life experiences. She sea-kayaked in Australia, Fiji, and Sweden. Loved hiking in the Rockies. Her bike/hike trips with girlfriends were a huge joy. She travelled the world enough such that she had no regrets.

She saw the good in all people and always made an e� ort to keep a personal touch in some way. Her huge circle of friends is a testament to her as a person. Theresa would like everyone to remember that life

is about the journey, not the destination.

She is survived by her loving husband of forty-three years, Gerry, sisters Cathy Hanson, Elenore (Evan) Clark, Donna (Werner) Karolat, Ann (Rob) Mckay, Yvonne (Eugene) Schilling, Gloria (Matt) Schooley, Bonnie (Cecil) Damery, Iris (Derrin) Doyle, one brother Sam (Sherry) Woolley and numerous nieces, nephews, grandnieces, and grandnephews. Also, her sister-in-law Bev (Keith) Thompson, brother-in-law Steve Drane, and nephew Al Thompson.

Theresa’s funeral will be at the Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Kimberley on Saturday, June 8/13 at 11:00 AM. There will be a gathering afterwards at the Kimberley Conference Center up at the ski hill.

With Jessica Joly B.Sc. (Pharm)When you burn your skin, the damage continues to occur until you can cool down the area of the burn. Best advice is to immerse the burned area in cold water (no ice) for at least 15 minutes. You’ll find this reduces the pain as well.

People looking for an alternative to DEET as an insect repellant might look for products containing icaridin. It is effective against mosquitoes, black flies and ticks and is available as a pump spray, aerosol spray and towelettes. It is safe for adults and children over the age of 6 months. Examples of brands containing this include Deep Woods and Avon.

B.C. rejects Enbridge pipeline planTOM FLETCHER

Black Press

The B.C. government has recommended rejection of the Enbridge Northern Gateway oil pipeline project its final written submission to the federal environmental panel.

Environment Minister Terry Lake announced the decision Friday, two weeks after an election where pipeline politics played a key role. He said the B.C. government isn’t satisfied with the company’s plans for spill control on the twin pipeline proposed to run from northern Alberta to a tanker port at Kitimat.

“Northern Gateway has said that they would provide effective spill response in all cases,” Lake said.

“However, they have presented little evidence as to how they will respond.”

Lake said any heavy oil proposal would be subject to the B.C. government’s five conditions, which include spill prevention and response, aboriginal participation and a share of oil export revenues for B.C.

Enbridge Northern Gateway vice-president Janet Holder said Friday the province’s position is not the end of the discussion.

“The five conditions cannot be fully met until the end of the Joint Review Panel process,” Holder said.

“We are working hard to meet the conditions and earn the confidence of the government and the people of B.C.”

Ministry staff evaluated the 192 conditions proposed by the Joint Review Panel, the federal agency that will make a recommendation for permits to Ottawa next fall. The B.C. government and Northern Gateway officials will give their

final oral arguments to the panel when hearings resume in Terrace on June 17.

Enbridge has argued that its submissions to the federal panel included 7,000 pages of technical reports and nine separate witness

panels have answered every environmental question put to it.

The panel has conducted 69 days of cross-examination of company officials by B.C. and other representatives.

Lake said the B.C. government is not

opposed to heavy oil pipeline projects in general, such as the pending application to twin the 60-year-old Trans Mountain pipeline from Alberta to port and refinery facilities in Burnaby and Washington state.

Show some restraint

The Canadian Federation of Independent Business has taken aim at municipal spending

across Canada, just as municipal leaders have gathered in Vancouver for the annual convention of the Federation of Canadian Municipalities. The scrutiny is long overdue.The CFIB notes that municipal

spending has grown by 55 per cent in the last decade, even as the population has grown by 12 per cent.Here’s some direct quotes from a CFIB

press release:“It is reasonable to assume that

municipal spending would keep pace with increases in population and with increases in prices (inflation). Across Canada, population growth between 2000 and 2011 has been 12 per cent. In Vancouver, population growth was 15 per cent.“Over that same time period, inflation-

adjusted municipal operating spending increased by a jaw-dropping 55 per cent and 50 per cent respectively.“In other words, the pace of municipal

spending growth was over three times the growth in population and inflation.“Put another way, municipalities have

increased per-person spending by over 30 per cent.“Do you feel like you are getting

30 per cent more services from your municipal government?“Municipalities claim they are

falling behind on one of their core responsibilities — infrastructure. At the same time, they say they need more revenue to deal with problems not addressed adequately by other levels of government, like housing and health.“Municipal employment increased by

double the rate of population growth over the past 12 years. In addition, municipal employees make 36 per cent more in wages and benefits than equivalent jobs in the private sector. Wages and benefits make up 67 per cent of Vancouver’s budget. To unravel the overspending, this is where we must start.”CFIB makes some excellent points.

Municipal wages are considerably higher than those for similar workers in the private sector.Tough bargaining is needed to help

rectify the imbalance. A close look at all benefits that go to municipal employees is also needed.Municipal governments need to start

exercising some restraint.–Black Press

One of Premier Christy Clark’s first tasks of the

new term will be to resume trade talks with Alberta and Saskatchewan.

Several daunting tasks await. Clark must repair relations with Alberta Premier Alison Redford after B.C.’s theatrics over oil pipelines before the election, and prepare for the results of a federal environmental review of the Enbridge Northern Gateway proposal in the fall.

Some people were surprised on Friday when the B.C. government released its final written submission to the federal environmental review panel on Northern Gateway. It was widely interpreted as B.C.’s outright rejection of the project, but it’s not as simple as that.

Clark and B.C. Environment Minister Terry Lake signalled several times before the election that they were not getting the answers they wanted from Enbridge. But they stuck to the principle that the hearings must be completed.

The NDP repeated for months that the B.C. Liberal government had forfeited its own review and

handed jurisdiction over the environmental assessment to Ottawa. In fact, a pipeline that runs across two provinces is by definition a matter of federal jurisdiction. B.C. could have held its own parallel set of hearings, which was the NDP’s stated preference, but in no circumstance does the province have a veto. And both the B.C. Liberal government and Enbridge were careful to leave the door open for further talks.

A closer reading of their comments shows that the key difference at this stage is one of timing.

“The panel must determine if it is appropriate to grant a certificate for the project as currently proposed on the basis of a promise to do more study and planning after the certificate is granted,” Lake said. “Our government does not believe that a certificate

should be granted before these important questions are answered.”

According to Enbridge executive Janet Holder, those important questions can’t all be answered until the hearings are over. The company maintains that every river crossing and spill response plan can’t be done in detail during the two-year hearings.

B.C.’s final submission runs to nearly 100 pages. It goes into detail on the inconsistencies and unanswered questions on such vital topics as whether diluted bitumen can sink in water.

In short, the province argues that it can sink if the oil is in fresh water, or if it is exposed to weathering so lighter fractions evaporate, or if it is mixed with sediments that increase its density.

These are pertinent conditions if heavy oil were to leak into a river in springtime, when water runs fast and cold and brown with sediment.

Then there are the obstacles presented by responding to a spill in remote wilderness and heavy snow.

Given both provincial and

aboriginal opposition in B.C., the Enbridge pipeline is unlikely to be imposed, and last week Conservative cabinet minister James Moore clearly ruled that out.

The B.C. government has consistently maintained that the current project does not meet Clark’s often-repeated five conditions, including the vaguely defined “fair share” of revenues, and Moore said the federal government agrees with those conditions.

The B.C. government has to face some other uncomfortable realities as well. If heavy oil pipelines are such a risk, how does B.C. manage the one that has stretched across remote and populated areas for 60 years?

Does the government take a stand against new pipelines, and then watch as rail cars full of heavy oil cross those same rivers? No permit is required for that, and in fact there are more hazardous materials than oil moving by rail and road across the province today.

For quite a while, the economical and the environmental

interests and opinions have been clashing.

On one hand the economical side does not believe, or ignores, the warnings and risk factors in the exploration of natural resources and their use.

On the other hand, the average temperature on earth has risen more than one degree.

Whatever the case, only people with blindfolds on will deny that the climate is not changing. It is a proven fact that the amount of carbon monoxide as measured in the polar ice has increased steadily and at a much

faster rate since the industrial revolution.

Whether the earth was already warming as suggested by some scientist is a moot point because a slower rate of warming gives nature a better chance to adjust. The rate of the earth’s warming has affected us already.

We have seen a small example here, the pine

beetle would not have survived if we would still have winters where there was a week or two of temperatures twenty degrees below zero as there used to be.

The industrial revolution has caused some strange effects in the world of trade and money policies as well. Starting at the 1850’s, it did not take long before large factories were mass producing items such as linen and furniture. Long hours of work, very small wages and child labour were the norm. In 1872, child labour was abolished and not too much later the poor working conditions and poverty line wages were the reason unions

were formed.Union organizers were

for a long time considered to be criminals and were treated as such. As time progressed conditions and wages improved thanks to unions and mass production was stepping out of its child stage. Then the first major depression hit, people lost their jobs, businesses went broke and misery was wide spread.

At the height of the depression, World War I started in 1914 and when it finished in 1918, there was lots of work and things were fine until the depression of the dirty thirties. Again at the height of the depression, World War II started in

1939 and ended in 1945.The similarity in both

depression periods is that the economy faltered for some strange reason. The mills and the resources to keep them going were there, there were fish in the ocean, but the fishing fleet lay idle, farms were operational, but farmers could not afford to feed their cows or sow their crops. People were desperate and hungry, but there was no money to buy food.

What I don’t understand is, how can an economy that is capable to maintain itself falter because there is no money? Is that not the same as saying I had to stop building my house

because I ran out of in inches to measure with?

There is another very strange thing, both depressions ended with a war, where did all of a sudden the billions and billions come from to start these wars? After all, battle ships, cruisers, tanks and war planes do not come cheap, nor does outfitting and feeding soldiers. We now live in a world with constant fighting, fear of depression and environmental worries.

Time is running out, we need governments that are for the people and the environment.

ANNIE GALLANTObserver Reporter

It's better to have it and not need it than to need it and to not have it. This is never truer than when the CF-18 Demonstration Team comes to town. In anticipation of Skyfest, Quesnel International Air Show, the Canadian Military must deploy a Barrier Arresting System just in case the CF-18 requires assistance during take off or landing.

Sergeant Stephen Best and Sergeant Aaron Segall arrived in Quesnel May 10 to ensure our airport was suitable for installing the arresting equipment. They conferred with airport manager Harlene Hunt and discussed what their requirements were and scoped out where they would be installing the critical safety equipment.

"This is a very nice airport," Segall said.

"It's all going to work very well."Canada's CF-18 is the only Canadian

aircraft with a tail hook (a system similar to that used on aircraft carriers to stop vehicles in a short distance).

The primary use for such portable systems is on battle-damaged runways and in extreme northern ice conditions.

It takes an eight-person team several days to install the rotary friction brakes (fully secured in the ground),

cable system (a 1 1/4-inch steel cable stretched across the runway at a height of two inches) and have the system fully certified.

The CF-18 Demo team will participate in 19 Canadian air shows, however arrester teams need only be deployed to those shows where the runway isn't long enough for full safety stops.

Quesnel's airport at 5,000 feet is 2,500 feet short thus requiring the mobile arresting system. If you've ever seen jets landing on an aircraft carrier, that is similar to what is required in Quesnel.

The arresting system can stop the CF-18 in about 900 feet.

Although the CF-18 is Canada's only tail hook equipped aircraft, Canadian airports are required, as part of its NATO commitment, to supply the arresting system to all tail-hook NATO aircrafts. This has created experienced military teams capable of installing and operating this very important safety equipment.

One such experienced local, Fire Chief Sylvian (Sly) Gauthier, will be watching with much interest as the arrester team arrives and installs the system.

Gauthier spent 28 years in the Canadian Air Force as a firefighter with three of those years devoted to participation with the arrester deployment team at air shows across

Canada and the United States – wherever the CF-18 Demo team performed and an arrester system was required.

"I loved it," Gauthier said."The travel, the people you meet – it's

a lot of hard work setting up the system but then you were at the air show, it was fun."

As a military firefighter, Gauthier said he was deployed to several military bases, including the high Arctic, where permanent arresting systems were in place and he learned a great deal about the system.

Throughout the time he spent at air shows, he said there never was an emergency and he was glad of that, but knew they were fully trained should something have happened.

He expects the CF-18 pilot will want to do a demonstration of the tail hook deployment and said the cable is rated for many hits before requiring replacement.

"The standard landing approach speed for the CF-18 is about 130 – 140 knots (about 160 miles an hour)," he said.

"But anytime a cable is used at more than 200 knots (240 miles/hour) it's replaced immediately."

Gauthier plans to drop by for the installation in the week leading up to the air show.

As Quesnel's fire chief he will be assigning 5 – 6 local volunteer firefighters to the two-day event with very specific responsibilities.

And he knows exactly where the line is drawn between military and civilian firefighters.

"Our guys will be putting out any fire. It's the military firefighters' responsibility to handle the personel in the aircraft."

This also applies to the Snow Bird team.

"I'll be chatting with the arrester installation team prior to the air show ensuring everyone knows their role."

Skyfest – Quesnel's International Airshow is scheduled for Aug. 3 – 4.

Tickets for Skyfest 2013, Aug. 3 – 4 are online advance, adult day pass $15, weekend $25; youth day pass, $4, weekend $7; family (two adults and four youth) day pass $40, weekend $65; hard stock advance, available for sale throughout Quesnel, adult day pass $15, weekend $25; youth day pass $4; family day pass $40; at the gate, adult day pass $20; youth day pass, $5; family day pass $50.

For those wishing to camp, three nights camping (Friday to Monday), two-day family show admission is $135.

Sheila 250-747-2577

What do you get a mother who has everything she needs? No more perfume or chocolates.

Christa had always joked that she needed a donkey because there seemed to be one of every other animal on their ark. So that is what Willow decided to get her.

One of Willow’s friends had rescued a horse and donkey from Mission. The animals had been knee deep in mud and malnourished.

He found a place for the horse but didn’t know what to do with this donkey until he talked with

Willow.Sight unseen, a

donkey, Sea Biscuit, entered their world. He was eight years old and not gelded.

His overgrown, curling hooves looked like skis and it was painful for him to walk. That made him very grouchy, a real ‘ass’.

The work began. With the help of a local ferrier, Sea

Biscuit’s hooves were trimmed and cleaned every two weeks. He did not like this at all!

He nailed the girls many times with a loose hoof, so they learned that it took two or three of them to get the job done.

The next mission was to get him gelded.

Since he had come from the coast and was in very poor shape, he did not have time to build up a good winter coat. They noticed that he was shivering, so

Robin made him a blanket from an old house coat and then some ear muffs.

With a proper diet, hoof care and love, Sea Biscuit turned into a Romeo.

Now, at 13, he is very much a character and family pet.

He lives with the llamas, loves to be petted and has even taken � eld trips to the Fall Fair.

New Focus recognizes child care providersLast week the Quesnel Child

Care Resource and Referral Program (a New Focus Society program) held its annual Care Providers Appreciation night

This year, several individuals were honoured for their com-mitment to children and fami-lies.

Receiving certificates for be-ing with the program for five years were April Wulff, owner of Boonies daycare and Shelly Ubell, owner of Six Mile Day-care. Celebrating 10 years were Kerry Thaler of Discovery day-care and Sharon Noeth, a Reg-istered License not Required caregiver. Also being recognized was Rose Chard of Hixon Play and Learn for 20 years provid-ing care.

The evening also included the

inaugural awarding of the annu-al Ina Kaebe Memorial Award.

The Ina Kaebe Memorial Award recognizes the accom-plishments of individuals who work in all areas of child care, including those who work di-rectly with children. Nominees for this award must have given their time, talent and energy to enhance the lives of children in Quesnel.

Kaebe, 1953-2013, worked in the Early Child Development field for 21 years. She was an outstanding and outspoken ad-vocate for numerous children and families in Quesnel. Kaebe was a mentor to many here in the ECE field and it is through this award that we honour Kaebe by recognizing individu-als who have made an outstand-

ing contribution to the field of child care.

We were thrilled to announce that this year’s recipient of the Ina Kaebe Memorial Award is Bernie Milthorpe.

Bernie has worked for the Child Development Centre for the past 23 years as a Preschool Educator and a Special Needs consultant. Before that she worked for Under The Rainbow Preschool.

Crossfire assaultCrossfire rebound early to take second victory of the season

JONAS GAGNONObserver Reporter

The Quesnel senior mens lacrosse team, the Crossfire, took their second win of the season in a strong showing against the Assault last week. Despite a slow start, the Crossfire were able to take control of the game, winning 11-7

For the Crossfire, it was more than just a game victory, but a mental victory as well.

“It’s the first time we’ve beaten them. Last time we played them, they just crushed us,” coach Pat Gibbs said.

The game started out looking like it was going to resemble the Crossfire’s past performances against the Assault. They came out of the gates quick,

snatching three goals from the Crossfire, causing Gibbs to consider his options and see what he could pull out of a deteriorating situation.

“It looked like it was going to be ugly,” Gibbs said.

That pessimistic thought didn’t last long though.

The Crossfire hit back hard, putting away five of their own to take the lead.

Before the period was out, the Assault put away another one to end the period 5-4.

The second proved to be something of a turning point for the Crossfire, though they only traded a couple goals with the Assault.

“That was a nice change, because usually we get lit up in the second

period,” Gibbs said. “But we switched something up

defensively so that wouldn’t happen to us.”

Each team nabbed two goals over the second twenty minutes, keeping the same two goal gap going into the final period.

With such a small margin and the chance to finally break the Assault barrier, the third was a little nerve wracking.

The Crossfire came out and got two early goals, then padded their lead with another in the middle of the period.

The Assault scrabbled to keep themselves in the game in the third, missing some chances and being shut down on others, but were able to put

away a single goal to keep them within striking distance at 10-7.

Hunter Krebs, however, put an end to their hopes with three minutes left, scoring the Crossfire’s 11th goal.

“That took the wind out of their sails,” Gibbs said.

With a four goal lead and a deflated opposition, the Crossfire killed the last three minutes to win the game.

Chase Jaegr scored four of the Crossfire’s 11 goals and took two assists, making him as the top scorer in the game.

The Crossfire take their game on the road next week to take on the Bandits in Prince George, but will be back home June 13 to reprise their game against the Assault.

JONAS GAGNONObserver Reporter

Had the rest of the bout been slow, the last five minutes of the Saturday’s roller derby bout pitting the Gold Pain Girls against Rated P.G. would have been worth the entrance fee.

In the final two-minute jam of the bout, Killswitch brought the crowd to a fever pitch as she reeled in the Rated PG girls. With the final rally, the Gold Pain girls fell just 27 points short of their Cariboo rivals, with a final score of 229-202

Coach Willow (Willowmeana) Eyford was happy with the team’s success against the more experienced derby girls.

“That’s how were going to

get better, by playing teams that are better than us. They gave us a good reality check,” Eyford said, adding, “But we did fantastic.”

Rewind to the start of the game and the only aspect that could be said to be slow is Quesnel’s start.

The Gold Pain Girls were facing a strategy they’d never seen before and were struggling to stop P.G.’s jammer from sneaking through the pack to nab lead jammer and a handful of points every jam.

Early on in the first half, as the Gold Pain Girls were trying to react to this new system, Rated PG had control of the game, nearly tripling the Gold Pain Girls on the scoreboard.

“Everyone was thrown off in

the first half by the new things Prince George was trying and the equipment failures and the stupid penalties we took,” Eyford said.

“Everyone was losing it and they couldn’t compose themselves. Once we got our heads around it and calmed down and we knew what they were going to do, that’s when we started to get the points again.”

Gold Pain didn’t finish the period without a fight, however.

Late in the period, Gold Pain tightened up their ranks as they got used to Rated PG’s strategy and started to fight back, with Risa Lightning leading a strong jam boosting them forward to finish the first half 118-76 for P.G.

A gentleman’s game

Cricket has long been a gentleman’s sport, giving rise to the exclamation, ‘that’s just not cricket,’ meaning something isn’t fair, or someone has cheated. While in hockey and soccer players seek to gain the advantage by devious means, illegal hits or taking dives, in cricket professional players have been known to call themselves out.

If you think you’ve got the gentlemanly comportment to play such a dignified sport, have loved the game your whole life and want to play it and not just watch it on the telly, or if you just want to know what the Brits and the Indians are on about, the Quesnel Cricket Club invites you to have a go with them at the École Baker school grounds at 3 p.m. on Sundays.

The club brings bats and balls so all you have to bring is yourself and the dignity of a gentleman and the field is yours.

A sport to bring out the gentleman in everyone.Contributed photo

Gold Pain regroups at intermissionfrom A13

The intermission gave the girls time to calm down and get a better hold on Rated PG’s clever strategy so they could nullify its advantages.

“We knew what they were going to do going into the second half. They were capping the line every time. We would make a line and they would put a skater beside us and push the whole line over, so we knew that’s what they were going to do – it worked the first half so we knew they were going to do it again. So that’s when we were able to get lead jammer again and get points again.”

With their new strategy hammered out, the Gold Pain girls didn’t allow Rated P.G. the leeway to increase their lead, but couldn’t manage to reel the PG girls in either.

The bout remained close through nearly all 30 minutes of the final period, with the hometown team remaining around 50 points behind the visitors as the scoreboard numbers climbed at an even pace.

With ten minutes left in the final half and the score sitting at 182-131 in favour of P.G., the results looked foregone, even as the Gold Pain Girls kept their pace and energy up.

But in the final jam of the game, Killswitch found some energy still lingering in her, even after nearly an hour of

hard fought derby, and hit the gas, getting lead jammer and notching points as she found her way through the pack again and again. Then Rated PG’s jammer got in penalty trouble, allowing Killswitch to rack up points until she was winded by the constant sprint.

The last minute rush wasn’t quite enough to bring the Gold Pain Girls even, with the last jam stopping at its full two minute mark while Gold Pain still sat 27 points behind their visitors.

The close game shows the growth of the Gold Pain Girls,

as their last games against Prince George the team got, in Eyford’s own words, ‘destroyed.’

Next up for the Gold Pain Girls is a road trip up to Ft. St. James for a bout against the Killbillies in Ft. St. John June 15, before coming back for their final game of the season at the Gold Rush Rumble, July 19.

Intent on putting on as good of a show as they are able to, the Gold Pain Girls are looking for volunteers to help them make the Billy Barker Days really rumble.

Getting your green thumb – safelyGardening can be

a fun family activity. In the warmest months of the year, many of us head outdoors to tackle home improvement projects and get our hands dirty in the garden. It’s important to make safety a top priority before you put your shovel in the ground.

Know what’s belowWhether you are

planting trees or designing a new garden, it’s important to call before you dig There could be utility lines or natural gas pipes buried beneath

your lawn and it’s the law in Ontario to determine their location before you start digging. Contact Ontario One Call at 1-800-400-2255 or www.on1call.com, at least one week in advance. They will coordinate with member utilities to locate underground lines, mark them, and leave a locate sheet providing instructions on how to proceed safely. This is a free service.

Planting treesTrees offer many

benefits for your home and for your

neighbourhood. Privacy, cleaner air, shade, and habitats for wildlife are all benefits that can be enjoyed by planting trees on your property. Trees can also add to the curb appeal of your house, and even help reduce energy costs. As Enbridge Gas Distribution suggests, planting evergreen trees on the north and east sides can protect your home against winds and help reduce heating costs. Planting deciduous trees (trees that lose their leaves in the

fall) on the south and west sides of a home can provide shade and help to lower air conditioning costs during the summer months.

Be mindful of the meter

When planning new gardens, or planting trees, be aware of your natural

gas meter. Try to keep gardens and trees away from your meter to allow workers access if they need to read or work on your meter. More tips are available online at www.enbridgegas.com/safety.

www.newscanada.com

1. Although it may look untidy, leave grass clippings on your lawn when you mow it to provide nutri-ent recycling.

2. Aerate compacted soil in the fall to help oxygen, water and nu-trients reach roots.

3. Over-seed patchy areas in dif-ficult spots.

4. In heavy traffic areas replace grass with mulch or paving stones.

5. Check your lawn for early signs of pests and other problems such as holes caused by small ani-mals digging for insects.

6. Set your mower so that your grass is 7 to 8 cm high to encour-age deeper roots and help fend off weeds.

7. Water infrequently, but when

you do, make sure you allow the water to get deep into the soil (about 1.5 cm) to promote deep roots. Over-watering starves the soil of oxygen and invites disease. Apply at least 2.5 cm of water. Put a container on your lawn to mea-sure how much you’ve watered. An empty tuna can is about the right height.

8. Maintain good soil with ample depth and organic matter to pre-vent problems.

9. If physical control methods fail and you use a pesticide, be sure the one you pick lists the pest you are trying to control on the label, and follow all the other instructions to use it safely.

Do away with weeds

Gardening can be a peaceful pastime. But

ensuring safety is of upmost importance.
