Fraser Village tenants are close to tears over extreme temperature swings in their suites.

Norma Malic, a tenant at Fraser Village, has written a letter speak-ing out against the new heating and cooling system.

Malic said temperatures at Fraser Village have been inconsistent and prompted many residents to have erratic service in their suites.

“We received a grant, which was used to install a new heating and cooling system,” Malic said.

When the grant was received and the new system installed, Malic said residents were asked to dispose of their individual air con-ditioning systems, as they would not be allowed.

“Now [the residents] are almost in tears because of the heat in their units,” Malic said in her letter.

Although this has been an on-going issue, Malic said she’s wor-ried the winter months will be especially diffi cult, since there still hasn’t been any action to rectify-ing the situation.

The temperature has been so low on some days, tenants had to wear sweaters and members of the Fraser Village Society were un-able to make arrangements for the repair of the system.

“I blame myself,” society mem-ber Peter Nielsen said.

“But the society has their hands tied.”

The companies who installed and maintain the system are based in Vancouver, leaving the Fraser Village Society at a loss to take quick action.

“Although the society got the grant to do this, the hiring of con-tractors and distribution of the monies was looked after by BC Housing, who gave the contracts

to all out-of-town contractors, thereby leaving us with no local recourse,” Malic said in the letter.

The temperature in the Fraser Village has gone from 70 degrees Fahrenheit (21 degrees Celsius) to 86 degrees Fahrenheit (30 degrees Celsius).

Although many tenants were asked to remove their personal air conditioning systems, many have now reinstalled them and Malic said there hasn’t been any trouble.

Malic explained the installers also cut part of the suites’ doors off the bottom to help air circu-late, but that’s also been causing problems.

“When the system was installed, the installers said this would help circulate the air when the system was working,” Malic explained.

But since the system isn’t functional, when the temperature dips, residents who have space heaters in their suites are losing the heat.

Malic said action wasn’t taken immediately because many ten-ants didn’t want to speak up and ask for help.

“Seniors will often just accept what’s going on and won’t nec-essarily complain if something’s wrong,” she said.

Malic and Nielsen are hoping the new system will be fully func-tional before the winter, as many seniors have been leaving their ov-ens on for heat, which isn’t safe.

“That’s just asking for an ac-cident,” Nielsen said, adding the varying extreme temperatures could also lead to illnesses.

“The seniors are already at risk for getting sick, these tempera-tures are going to put someone in the hospital.”

The system is currently under repair.

Check back for updates.

There are hundreds of thousands of “apps”, programs for smart phones and electronic tablets. There is even one available for gambling addicts. Gambling addiction is a mental health problem and only 10% of those with a gambling problem seek help. The app is called Mobile Monitor Your Gambling and Urges (MYGU) and is downloadable for free from iTunes.Many of the drugs we use today originated from nature. It’s always interesting when a common product like thyme, formulated into a tincture, is found to have antibacterial effects that may make it useful in treating acne. It’s far from being available on our shelves for that purpose but it does show promise.Antibiotics have saved millions of lives since the discovery of penicillin in the 1940s. In 1900, the three main causes of death were tuberculosis, pneumonia and enteritis (intestinal infections). Antibiotics have reduced the threat of these medical problems immensely.When you receive an antibiotic prescription, our pharmacists will ensure you know how to make it work best for you. We help you understand how it works for you.

One Quesnel man is in critical condition after a single vehicle crash.

Shortly after 3 a.m. Saturday Quesnel RCMP, BC Ambulance Services and Highway Rescue were called to the scene of a single vehicle crash on Highway 97 near Ahbau Creek – north of Quesnel. The SUV was traveling northbound on Highway 97 near Ahbua Creek when it left the roadway after failing to negotiate a curve.

Emergency responders arrived to fi nd the 21-year-old driver pinned underneath the ve-hicle. The male was extracted by Highway Res-cue personnel and transferred to Quesnel’s GR Baker Hospital before being transported by air ambulance. He remains in critical condition.

His 20-year-old passenger was treated at GR Baker for non-life threatening injuries and later released. The cause of this crash remains under investigation.

Seatbelts save livesA three vehicle collision saw minor injuries,

thanks in large part to buckling up. Shortly after 5 p.m. Aug. 8, Quesnel RCMP

were called to the scene of a three vehicle col-lision on Highway 97 south near Alexandria School Road – north of McLeese Lake.

Investigation determined that a semi-truck and trailer travelling southbound crossed the centre line colliding with a northbound vehicle and causing it to hit another northbound vehicle.

All three vehicles ended up in the northbound ditch. Fortunately, all three vehicle’s occupants were wearing their seatbelts and no one sus-tained signifi cant injuries.

Police issued a violation ticket under the Mo-tor Vehicle Act to the driver of the semi truck.

“This is a classic example of the life saving role seatbelts play in major collisions. There is no doubt that the use of seatbelts was key in preventing injuries in this crash,” media spokes-person for the Quesnel RCMP, Cst. Krista Vro-lyk said.

Molly Hartley, a student at Carson elementary school, was on-line this spring checking out a website she had heard about, Earth Rangers.com.

Earth Rangers invites the public to sign up to raise money to protect endangered species across Canada.

Molly was very excited at the idea of helping to save an animal and chose to concentrate her efforts on the spotted turtle. The spotted turtle is native to Ontario and its numbers are decreasing due to poachers and construction, which destroys its’ natural habitat.

Fund raising dollars for the Spotted Turtle will, in part, go to creating an inventory of the animals and applying for a designation to provincially protect their habitat.

Eastmond’s Bakery was kind enough to help Molly with her fundraising. The shop has been making and selling candy turtles, with all proceeds going toward Molly’s Earth Rangers fund.

To date, Molly has raised more than $150 with the sale of turtles. Her goal is $500 by the end of August and she’s well on her way to meeting that goal through private donations, bottle collecting and money from her own piggy bank.

Molly urges those wanting to help out and satisfy that sweet tooth to check out Eastmond’s Facebook page at Eastmonds Bake Shoppe or call 250-747-0015.

And for those with a peanut allergy, no problem, Molly has a good friend with a peanut allergy, so she asked Shelley to make a peanut free turtle.

Regular turtles – caramel, chocolate and pecans or peanut free with caramel, chocolate and pretzels are six for $5.50 or 12 for $11.

The Rotary Club of Quesnel donated $1,000 and the Quesnel Lions Club donated $200 to help Quesnel RCMP teach the internationally recognized Drug Abuse Resistance Education (D.A.R.E.) program to 200 local Grade 5 school children.

Staff Sergeant Anthony Choy, the Non Commissioned Offi cer in charge of the RCMP Drug and Organized Crime Awareness Service which oversees the Quesnel D.A.R.E. program, said that more than 250 police offi cers teach D.A.R.E. to thousands of school children in more than 90 communities throughout British Columbia.

“The D.A.R.E. program equips our children with the critical thinking and life skills necessary to choose a drug-free life,” he said.

“While police offi cers teach the program, the cost of the student learning

materials is covered by community donations so the program can be offered free to all students. The learning materials cost approximately $10 per student.”

S/Sgt. Choy said D.A.R.E. BC is their main partner on the D.A.R.E. program. D.A.R.E. BC is a registered charitable organization responsible for raising funds from within each community to cover the cost of the student learning materials.

“We are very grateful to the Rotary and Lions clubs for their generous donations which covered the cost of learning materials for 120 students who took the program during the 2011-2012 school year,” he said.

The founder of D.A.R.E.BC, retired RCMP Staff Sergeant Chuck Doucette said next year’s DARE program starts in September. The community will need to raise $2,000 to cover the cost of learning materials

for the 200 students who are expected to take the D.A.R.E. program.

RCMP are appealing to the citizens of Quesnel to help provide the fi nancial support

needed to empower Quesnel’s school children in choosing a drug-free healthy lifestyle. Donations can be made on line by visiting the D.A.R.E.BC website. (www.darebc.com).

Balancing Electrolytes and Avoiding Dehydration

Whether you are an elite athlete dedicated to weekly work outs, enjoy working in your garden or like playing in the summer’s sun, staying hydrated and balancing fl uids in our physical body is very important. Maintaining a concentration of electrolytes is essential to normal functioning cells and tissues, nerve function, hydration of skin, muscle coordination, heart function and fl uid absorption. The fact is, we are roughly 75% - 80% water and our physical well being is very much dependent on the balance of organic and inorganic compounds. The charge from electrolytes will balance pH and ionic concentrations help to maintain the integrity and permeability of cells. Electrolytes will also keep the fl uids that are transferred to the cells regulated and ensure the even solute (substance to solvent) concentration. We can lose balance of these vital minerals from sweating, illness, medications, stress, diarrhea, sun exposure, exercising, poor nutrition or lack of water to name a few. The consequences when you are depleted can range from relatively mild such as headache, dry skin, lethargic, mood swings to extreme or severe such as confusion, infection, fainting, cramping (spasms), seizures, swelling of the brain and or coma. Where and how to get a balance of electrolytes? Certainly not from the over priced sugary or high sodium food coloured sports drinks. Start with what you have in your fridge and cupboards. Most fruits and vegetables are nutrient rich and choosing good organic sources or produce from local farmers or grown in the region are the best choices. Nuts and seeds are high in minerals and opt for those that are not processed and raw. Beans such as mung, lima, white, pinto and red prepared by soaking (for easier digestion) and do not over cook for optimal nutritious value. Dark leafy greens, spinach in particular has measurable minerals that are needed and also sustain a balance of good prebiotics. Bananas are a good source of the oh so important potassium. Sodium should not be added to food because in their natural state all foods have sodium in balance. A pinch of Himalayan or mineral rich sea salt or a tablespoon of raw organic apple cider vinegar with the mother in a good clean water source will replenish electrolytes rapidly. Out of convenience or lack of nutrients in your daily intake there are good quality supplements available in powders or capsules. Consult your trainer or a qualifi ed practitioner for more information and to customize your needs, Naturally!

The Sustainable Living Leadership Program stopped in Quesnel Aug. 11 while on a three-week journey from the headwaters of the Fraser River near Mount Robson to the Pacifi c Ocean near Vancouver.

Fin Donnelly, who swam the Fraser River to raise awareness about the health of the river in both 1995 and 2000, heads the program, along with Doug Radies who championed the conservation of the Cariboo Mountains. Amy Law

from the Baker Creek Enhancement Society in Quesnel, who was a participant in the program last year, joined this years trip as a trainee facilitator.

Seven participants from all along the Fraser Basin, including Jillian Simpson from Quesnel, were met with a warm welcome in Quesnel. They toured Cariboo Pulp and Paper Mill effl uent ponds before joining community members near the Fraser River for a dinner catered by Bliss and sponsored by Bob Simpson, MLA.

After dinner Jeff Dinsdale shared the history of the Fraser River in Quesnel, Wayne Strang and Pat Hagerty discussed how CPP mitigate environmental impacts to the river and Dora McMillan of Baker Creek Enhancement Society spoke of her many years of environmental involvement in Quesnel.

Donnelly, MP for Coquitlam and New Westminster, has as one of his goals the development of leadership qualities in young people through experiental education. Participants

travelled by Voyageur canoe through the Robson Valley, hiked and helped maintain the Goat River Trail and are now rafting from Soda Creek to Yale.

They fi nish their journey with a four-day Voyageur canoe paddle from Hope to Vancouver. Each participant comes to the program with a community project in mind, spends the entire 25 days developing their action plan, then returns to their community to make their project happen.

“For a community to be whole and healthy, it must be based on people’s love and concern for each other.” – Millard Fuller

This community never ceases to amaze me. The fourth annual

Amazing Race, held last Saturday, was a resounding success with 26 teams of two battling for top spot. Participants were tested on agility,

endurance, hand-eye coordination, attention to detail, and of course, teamwork. The event raised close to $15,000

from registration fees, donations, and raffl e tickets.That amount will be shared

with Quesnel and District Palliative Care and the Canadian Cancer Society – two amazing organizations. These events take an army of

volunteers to pull off and the support of businesses and residents. In no way could our community thrive in such a way without the support of those calling the Gold Pan City home. That needs to be celebrated, far

too often we focus on the negatives – unemployment rates, industry downturns, stalled housing prices... we could go on. But to live in a community in

which people come out day after day to work together to ensure services and support is in place for those in need, without asking for anything in return, is truly what community is all about. This speaks to our people far

more than City Hall happenings, crime stats or industry updates. This is the heart of a community,

this is what Quesnel is all about. Congratulations to all the

wonderful volunteers and participants of the Amazing Race – we could all take a page from your book.Thank you.

–Autumn MacDonald, Observer

Here’s a summer scene being played out all over North

America. Family van pulls up to the corner store to stock up on a few camping essentials: pop, chips, hot dogs, a case of beer and a bottle of vodka.

Not in B.C. you say? It happens every day at rural agency liquor stores around the province. As with many other issues, there is one reality for urban B.C. and another for the rest of us. Selling booze in grocery stores would presumably create anarchy in B.C cities and towns, but villagers and their visitors somehow manage it, just as everyone does across the line in Washington or Alaska.

These rural agency stores are “fl yspeck operators,” sniffs an acquaintance who spent his career as a union activist in government liquor stores. Picture dusty old bottles on a rickety shelf, greedy owners and poorly trained clerks more likely to sell to under-age drinkers.

Similar generalizations can be heard about the hundreds of private liquor stores that have popped up around B.C. since they were

legalized. And in fact there have been more violations in private stores, revealed in sting operations run by liquor inspectors. In the year ended March 31, 54 private stores were caught selling to a minor, for an 84 per cent compliance rate. Only four government stores were caught, a pass rate of 96 per cent. Five rural agency stores were tested, and one fl unked.

But here is the telling statistic. In 2010, the government allowed liquor inspectors to employ actual minors to test stores. Previously, they hired people who looked young but were old enough to buy alcohol, As late as 2009, two out of three stores (government or otherwise) sold to them. Problem is, that’s not an actual offence.

Now liquor inspectors send in undercover teens,

and relieve them of the evidence when they are allowed to buy booze. The watchdog now has teeth, and compliance has jumped.

The government glossed over the poorer performance of private stores. But in fairness, three times as many private stores as government ones were targeted in the new inspections, and the gap is narrow. Government stores also have a huge built-in fi nancial advantage in their wholesale rate, and are generally overstaffed by private sector standards.

The B.C. Liberals also moved this spring to make rural agency stores easier to establish. Regulation changes brought the minimum population served from 300 down to 200, and eliminated a vague requirement for a “bona fi de community” to exist around the store.

Meanwhile, the big booze story this year is cabinet minister Rich Coleman’s plan to sell B.C.’s warehouse and distribution monopoly to a private contractor. The B.C. Government Employees’ Union has protested, despite assurances that their jobs will continue.

B.C.’s burgeoning craft beer industry has looked to Alberta’s all-private model and predicts higher costs.

The B.C. Liberal government has been on the defensive from the start, with the NDP pointing to the paper trail of lobbyists with an apparent inside track. It’s great politics, but it matters little to consumers in an increasingly competitive but heavily taxed business.

Another new regulation took effect this summer, creating a $525 fi ne for adults serving minors, on the job, at home or as a bootlegger. Parents who provide booze for their own under-age children are exempted. Previously, penalties applied only to licensed establishments.

If the issue really is public safety and teen binge drinking, the key job for government is to regulate sales effectively. Once that is done, no justifi cation remains for government liquor sales.

Censure or censor?Editor:Thank you to all of

you who gave me such positive feedback to my previous opinion letter, Sushil Thapar Is Not The Problem.

Community and policy (politics) go hand in hand and it’s great to see your interest in it.

The mayor clearly dislikes Coun. Thapar’s accessing expense claims through the Freedom Of Information Act.

This is indeed perhaps why there’s foul language all around.

At city council’s meeting July 16, one reason mentioned to support censuring Thapar was his disrespectful use of language; swear words and the like.

Has no one ever been subjected to the mayor using inappropriate language?

The mayor has quite the vocabulary.She has a smooth veneer but I

believe it is very thin when you see it up close. Is this the transparency she talks about? In this case, I think council has exercised a double standard.

Another reason cited for censuring Thapar was “his running to the newspaper.”

Are they for real?Is this a censure or a censor?Are they in potential damage

control mode now, stopping someone, all be it a councillor, from running to the paper with his news?

What’s next, the radio?If there is wrongdoing, wouldn’t the

taxpayers and reading public want to know?

Thank you again, Coun. Thapar, for going to the newspaper on our behalf.

How thoughtful of you.City hall seems more like a city

wall.The community charter, I believe,

gives the mayor a lot of leeway on many things and she is allowed at her own discretion to divulge much more with us and is still choosing not to.

She ran on the platform of transparency and honesty.

One thing transparent is, in my opinion, her inability or unwillingness to share fi nancial information with the public.

Is the mayor’s everyday and every hour, work related,

where the city accounts will pay for everything and she pays for nothing?

Isn’t there a line where the public purse stops and her own payment begins?

There seems to be grey areas between what’s confi dential and what’s under the Freedom Of Information Act.

To my critics maybe it’s just the grey matter in my own head!

It will be found out in due course and the responsible citizen will aid in doing this through continued dialogue. For me, it is not the personality aspect; it’s not the Mary versus Sushil, she said he said saga; for me it’s about honest city money management.

Do we maintain a fi nancially healthy and vibrant city if we aren’t vigilant and in the know?

The mayor was indeed voted in, but that in no way implies she has remained honest and trustworthy. If she has, then that’s great.

Checks and balances are vital.One respondent said move on past

this, but politics are ongoing and in this case, I think we’ve only begun.

A lot of us have or have had job reviews, maybe all mayors in British Columbia could have a yearly one as well, not by their councillors but by an outside party?

I sincerely apologize to anyone who has felt offended by my remarks.

This was never the intent and thank you for your time upon reading this.

Also thank you to our town newspaper, the Quesnel Observer, that connects us all to our moment by moment news events, and yes, in feedback our individual viewpoints as well.

Only one opinion,Robert Wayne

The Second World War was a war

in which many inventions were created, such as the jet engine and radar. This photo shows two snowmobiles being repaired in Quesnel at the Public Works yard by the Canadian Army.

In 1943 or so, there was a great grinding of changing truck gears as a group of army trucks came down the hill into Quesnel.

It consisted of a whole bunch of army trucks, jeeps and

snowmobiles.This convoy, which

came down from Prince George, was part of an exercise called The Polar Expedition or the Polar Bear Expedition.

It was all hush, hush (as all wartime exercises were) and the story went they

were practicing to be dropped into Norway to destroy the fi rst heavy weight atom bomb (heavy water plants?)

Mike Cotton of Kelowna says he doesn’t think they ever got out of Canada.

His father was the District engineer for the Department of Public Works in Quesnel and he took the picture,

which shows two snowmobiles and an army 6X6 shop truck.

Compared with current snow machines, these ones look pretty rickety and often in need of repair.

The picture shows how many ideas were tried out in that period.

The Quesnel Golf Course played host to men from all over the province in last weekend’s senior men’s open.

From Terrace to Chilliwack, 99 golfers made their way to Quesnel to take part in the annual tournament.

Though a few less than last year, organizers were happy with the turnout and golfers were happy with the weather and condition of the course.

“It’s in the best shape of any golf course north of Kamloops,” golfer, and last year’s organizer, Darrel Wheeler said.

Despite the infl ux of talent from around the province, the tourament was won by two local men.

Dan Rosengren was the overall gross winner with a

score of 146. Martin Ritchie was the overall net winner with a fi nal score of 133. Both won a trophy for the impeccably shot games.

In fl ight A, Terry Edmonds, out of Prince George, took the number one spot with the gross winners at 148. Following, with a gross score of 153, was Kel Horning, also out of P.G. Local James Pederson rounded out the top three gross winners in fl ight A with a fi nal score of 153.

Gold Pan City resident Steve Sheldon climbed to number one in fl ight A of the net winners, with a 141 fi nal score. Local Barry Leifer followed close behind with a 145. Prince George golfer, Scott Norgren came in third with 146.

In fl ight B of the gross winners, local Stu Brears golfed his way to the top with a score of 156. Gerry Hudon,

from P.G., took second with 158, followed by local Archie Johnson with a score of 159.

In fl ight B of the net winners, Quesnel resident Bob Daniels came out on top with a score of 140. In second, Don Simons, golfi ng out of Williams Lake, scored 140, followed by Stan Haidish, out of P.G., with a fi nal score of 141.

Prince George golfer John Reinhart took fi rst in fl ight C of the gross winners at 164, followed by local Ron Graham with a score of 166. Norm Armstrong, from Quesnel, rounded out the top three with a score of 170.

In fl ight C of the net winners, Carl Arnett, out of P.G., took number one with a score of 139. In second for the fl ight, Tom Schutz, from Prince George, shot a 141, followed Claude Hoarau with a 142.

In the fi nal fl ight of gross winners, local Alex Coffey won the top spot with a score of 175. Steve Little, out of Vanderhoof, followed in second, shooting 178. Williams Lake resident Paul Rivet took third with a score of 180.

Local Brian Harrison was tops in fl ight D of the net winners with a score of 142, followed by local, Gil Dagneau with a score of 144. Terry Brown, out of Prince George, rounded out the fl ight with a score of 144.

The tournament included KP’s on holes three, seven, 14 and 16 for Saturday and Sunday. Norgren and and Rick Mintz, from Prince George, got the KP for hole 3 on Saturday. Little and Rosengren took the KP’s for hole 7. Mike Makin, out of Vanderhoof, and Bruce Larson, out of Fraser Lake, shot the KP for hole 14. Wes Walker, out of

Prince George, made the KP on hole 16.

Aug. 12 - Aug. 18, 2012ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20Aries, you may have to put your feelings on the line if you are to gain the respect of someone important to you. Although it may feel uncomfortable, forge ahead.

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21Taurus, some light will be shed on a problem from a past relationship this week. This will strengthen your current relationships with family and friends.

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21Expect a lot of passion and adventure this week and for the foreseeable future, Gemini. Talk to your partner about his or her desires as well.

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22Celestial energy will rejuvenate and reenergize you, Cancer. If things have been a little bit boring at home, someone you meet might just provide the spark you need.

LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23You can fi nd many inspirational forces around you, Leo, which will aid you in making tough decisions. Pay special attention to an overheard conversation.

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22Virgo, you may fi nd yourself on the path to some exciting places if you hang out with the right people this week. This is not a time to back out; act outside of your comfort zone.

LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23Libra, you may be looking for a new adventure but haven't a clue where to start. Anything is possible if you keep your eyes and ears open to everything around you.

SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22Don't put any limits on your love life, Scorpio. Even a relationship that has withstood the test of time can still prove exciting, spontaneous and adventurous.

SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21You may fi nd that the energy surrounding you is just a bit overwhelming, Sagittarius. This is remedied by simply staying out of the limelight for a few days.

CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20It's the little things that will catch your attention this week, Capricorn. A small detail, a particular color, a note in a song. If others overlook it, you'll probably zone in on it.

AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18Expect some surprises when attending a get-together with family and friends. An interesting person comes into your life to provide some inspiration.

PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20Pisces, a situation arises that forces you to think outside the box. Make decisions promptly but wisely, and you'll be happy you did.

JONAS GAGNON

Observer Reporter

Beach volleyball may seem to be more appropriate for the time of year, but inside the Correlieu gym volleyball lovers will fi nd a more satisfying experience.

The WolfPack Volleyball Camp is back in Quesnel for the ninth consecutive year next week.

"The camp has been a big success in Quesnel with lots of participants and many players moving on to play post secondary," Chad Grimm, event organizer, said.

Starting Tuesday, Aug. 21 the camp features sessions for student from grade 5 up to grade 12.

With two sessions for each of the four days, younger and older

students will be split for the camp.Younger students, grade 5-8,

have the morning sessions, 9 a.m.-11:30 a.m., while the later sessions 1-4 p.m., are for the older, grade 9-12, students.

The current assistant coach for the Thompson Rivers University WolfPack, and Correlieu alum, Chad Grimm runs the camp.

With experience playing volleyball at University levels at UBC, and professional level play in Europe, Grimm has a vast array of experience both as a player and as a coach of volleyball.

The camp is open to both boys and girls. Cost is $100 for the week, which includes a WolfPack t-shirt.

For registration email Grimm at [email protected].
