Mayor Mary Sjostrom’s name has been added to the five other councillors being sued over severance paid to former city man-ager John Stecyk.

In the amended petition, Sjostrom is named as an official respondent. She was personally served the papers Monday.

“I am not surprised to be named in the amended af-fidavit,” Sjostrom said.

“There were many errors in the original petition and as mayor I was part of the decision. Council was act-ing under the legislation given to them and some folks disagree. This is a

waste of time and taxpay-ers money and I hope clo-sure for everyone can hap-pen quickly. As for Coun. Sushil Thapar not being named in the suit he has sworn an affidavit and is part of the stance against council.

“That is his decision and the rest of council remain united. We have many great things happening in our city and we are mov-ing forward.”

Back in April of this year five city councillors were served, they were: Couns. Micheal Cave, John Bris-co, Ed Coleman, Scott Elliott and Laurey-Anne Roodenburg.

According to the docu-ments, the seven petition-ers were seeking $170,469

to be paid back to the City of Quesnel.

That amount was the fi-nal payout Stecyk received when he “resigned for per-sonal reasons” in May of 2012.

The petitioners: Sylvia Battley, Wayde Battley, Larry Dunn, Jean Geli-nas, Jan McKinney, Wally McKinner and Linda Bux-ton are seeking two or-ders:

• “… pursuant to the Community Charter that each of the respondents has voted for a resolution authorizing an expenden-diture of $170,469 con-trary to the Community Charter and is personal-ly liable to the City of Quesnel for that amount.”

• Cost of the proceeding.

In addition to finances, the petitioners are seeking, in line with the Communi-ty Charter, that each coun-cillor and the mayor who voted for the severance be disqualified from office for three years from the day of the vote.

The amount in question stems from departed city manager John Stecyk, his contract and a final pay-out upon his departure of $170,469.13 – a payout that was voted on and ap-proved by the five council-lors in question.

Stecyk was hired in De-cember 2010, his contract conditions were for a five-year term with an an-nual income of $125,000, “that the city could ter-minate the contract with

just cause without notice or pay in lieu of notice and the employee could terminate the contract by providing three months’ notice.”

At a meeting on April 16, council resolved to termi-nate the contract with Ste-cyk for cause.

Numerous other meet-ings were held in which the city’s executive committee, the mayor, some council-lors, the city’s lawyer and Stecyk’s lawyer discussed Stecyk’s termination.

In May the city issued a press release:

“Quesnel city council has announced it has ac-cepted the resignation of city manager John Stecyk effective immediately.

Stecyk, who is resign-

ing for personal reasons, came to the city in Janaury 2011.”

The petitioners maintain the release is false because “council had not autho-rized such a release; Stecyk has not resigned for per-sonal reasons; and while the mayor and some coun-cillors had discussed pay-ment of some severance to Stecyk, council had not discussed the issue.”

At a meeting on May 7, the five councillors cur-rently served each voted for a resolution that the city pay Stecyk sever-ance in the amount of $170,469.

The respondents have 21 days to file a response and any counter-claim.

JNA brings secondary suites survey to council

DANIKA M. HÉBERTObserver Reporter

Quesnel mayor and council heard from the Johnston neighbourhood association at Monday evening’s delegation meeting.

Ron Campbell presented a survey the association conducted to find the opinion of the residents in Johnston Neighbourhood (JNA) regarding secondary suites.

Since the discovery of a secondary suite, which was built without permits before being reported by a neighbour, many residents have expressed concern with the rising numbers of secondary suites, especially since a lot of them purchased homes in the neighbourhood due to its single family zoning.

After the discovery of the secondary suite on Leonard St., which was built without permits, the owner went through city council and received a spot zone for the property, allowing his suite to remain.

In the survey, conducted by members of the Johnston Neighbourhood Association, residents were asked numerous questions regarding secondary suites.

Questions included:• Do you own or rent?• How long have you

lived in the Johnston neighbourhood?

• Do you agree the city should allow income producing secondary suites in Johnston neighbourhood?

• Has the city provided sufficient opportunity for public consultation as they move forward allowing secondary suites in all areas of the city?

Of those who replied, which Campbell said was nearly half of the approximately 300 residents, 12 per cent said the city should allow income- producing secondary suites in Johnston neighbourhood, 78 per cent said the city should not allow them, seven per cent weren’t sure and three per cent did not respond.

When asked if the city

had done enough public consultation on the matter of secondary suites in Johnston neighourhood, five per cent said yes, 74 per cent said no, six per cent weren’t sure and three per cent didn’t respond.

JNA have been very vocal with the city about the issue of secondary suites.

Although most who’ve spoken to the issue have been against secondary suites due to its effect on traffic and safety, some residents are saying secondary suites could be essential to the neighbourhood and city affordable housing issue.

Others have said it could create housing near the college for students.

Since the city and council have awarded the spot zoning to allow secondary suites in the neighbourhood, JNA have decided to take legal action.

Members are currently in the process of raising funds for such lawsuit.

Imagination Park is gearing up for another summer

of excitement for Quesnel kids.

For the first time, all new staff members are coordinating the camp, bringing fresh ideas to the table, while keeping favourites to ensure a fun-filled week.

Melia Moorhouse, the newest coordinator for the program, is starting her first year as coordinator after spending 10 months studying in Ireland.

“I wanted to do something fun and exciting,” she said, explaining why she decided to apply for the position.

“I wanted a job where I actually had more of a purpose, a job that was more than just work.

“I wanted a job to make my summer more fun.”

Although she is studying political science, philosophy and economics in Dublin, Moorhouse brings plenty of experience to the table.

“I coached ringette for quite a few years, did refereeing for ringette and soccer,” she explained.

“I also did a lot of theatre and directed some stuff.”

The weekly camp, which runs Monday to Thursday from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., is based on a different theme every week.

“We have nine themes this summer,” Moorhouse said.

“The first week is I Am Canadian week, the second week is Hawaiian adventures.

“After that, we have Quesnel’s Got Talent, which will see

the kids divide into groups and have dress rehearsals – then we go to LeBourdais Park and invite all the parents for the kids’ performances.

“Our next one is Mad Scientist, then H2O Yeah, a week full of water activities.

“We have Sports For All Sorts, where kids can try out all kinds of sports, the week after that is August Christmas.

“After August Christmas, we have the Hunger Games Week and the last week is Summer Survivor week.”

Activities

throughout the week include trips to Yorston Farms, the corn maze and Moose Meadows.

Moorhouse is looking forward to one week in particular.

“I’m really excited for the Hunger Games week,” she said.

“We’re going to divide the kids into all the groups from the ‘districts’ and do activities based on that for the entire week.”

She said another highlight of the summer is the last Friday of the

program, the rec centre sleepover.

“The sleepover is a big one; it’s a chance for the kids to come at the end of the summer for one last big party.”

As much as she’s looking forward to coordinating the camp, Moorhouse is still adjusting to being back in Canada.

“I ended up coming in a little bit late,” she said.

“I’ve been trying to take over and get used to it. It was difficult coming home with a completely different sleep schedule and getting to work right away.”

Moorhouse had a lot of catching up to do, as none of last year’s staff returned, so she has started from scratch.

“I have what they did last year, but it’s basically up to me,” she said.

“I planned the first week and once my staff get here, they’ll help me plan all the other weeks.”

Registration for the camp is still open and will remain open until the week is full, although Moorhouse said some weeks are already full and have kids on waiting lists.

“Our maximum for the classes is approximately 30 and we expect them to fill up pretty quick, as they have in past years,” she explained.

Costs vary depending on the week.

Four day weeks are $82 for residents and three day weeks are $63. All kids between the ages of six and twelve are welcome. For more information, call the Quesnel and District Arts and Recreation Centre at (250) 992-8200.

“I wanted to do something fun and exciting, I wanted a job where I actu-ally had more of a purpose, a job that was more than just work, I wanted a job to make my summer more fun.”

A sophomore dona-tion from the TELUS Community Action Team towards Barker-ville Historic Town’s Educational Program-ming: K-12 School Students ensured the Barkerville School Program kicked off its 2013 season in style – Victorian style, that is.

“TELUS is proud to have supported Barkerville’s Educa-tional Programming: K-12 School Students again this year,” Rod Peck, Manager of TELUS’ Field Sup-port CSD Home Team in Quesnel said. “Partnering with the Barkerville Heritage Trust ensures that our youth understand the importance of the Cariboo Gold Rush and its place in Cana-dian history.”

The National His-toric Site of Canada’s award-winning, curriculum-based interpretive School Program has provided exceptional interactive history lessons for British Columbia students for decades.

Thanks to a recent contribution from the TELUS Com-munity Action Team, which allocates an-nual grants to chari-table organizations in Northern British Columbia, the 2013 Barkerville School Program launched with tremendous excitement and much appreciated supplies, May 16.

Barkerville used the TELUS funds to help facilitate a compre-hensive program schedule for students of all ages partici-pating in the 2013

Barkerville School Program, as well as purchase materials and supplies required for the implementa-tion of fully-immer-sive, educational experiences.

“The support of TELUS’ Community Action Team has had an immediate and measurable impact on our School Program this year,” said Judy Campbell, Barker-ville’s Chief Executive Officer.

“Nearly 2,000 students, teachers and parents from

49 different British Columbia schools will ultimately benefit from TELUS’ gift.”

TELUS has been a part of Western Ca-nadian communities for more than 100 years and as part of its corporate man-date chooses to “give where they live.”

This is the second year TELUS has part-nered with Barkerville to assist in the presen-tation of Barkerville’s Educational Program-ming: K-12 School Students.

The Barkerville

School Program runs from mid-May to late-June of every year and includes seven core elements: early justice, the William’s Creek schoolhouse, Chinese schoolhouse, China-town tour, Wendle House, blacksmith and mining in Barker-ville.

For information about Barkerville’s School Program, contact Judy Mooring at 1-888-994-3332, ext. 29, or email [email protected].

Are Your Investments Getting Enough Exercise?

Now that summer is almost here, it’s easier to get outside to run, bike or take part in other physical activities you enjoy. And the more active you are, the more efficiently your body will work. This conventional wisdom can hold true for your investments: The more “exercise” they get, the more potential they have to work on your behalf.

Just how can your investments get more exercise? Through lots of activity in at least two ways: systematic investing and dividend reinvestment. How Systematic Investing WorksWhen you participate in systematic investing (also known as dollar cost averaging), you’re continually putting your money “in motion.” In other words, you put the same amount of money into the same investments at regular intervals. For example, you invest $100 per month in Company ABC stock. You could even have the set amount sent directly from your chequing or savings account.

Of course, as the price of ABC stock, like those of all stocks, is constantly changing, your $100 investment will most likely buy different numbers of shares each month. This can work to your advantage, because when ABC stock price goes down, your $100 will buy more shares. When the price goes up, you’ll automatically buy fewer shares, just as you’d typically buy less of something when its price goes up.

Over time, systematic investing typically results in a lower average cost per share than if you were to make sporadic lump-sum investments. If you can lower your investing costs, this may help boost your investment returns. This also can be an effective way to fund your retirement account(s) each year. (Keep in mind that systematic investing doesn’t guarantee a profit or protect against loss. You’ll also need the financial resources available to keep investing through up and down markets.) How Dividend Reinvestment WorksDividend reinvestment is similar to systematic investing in that it lets you build more shares of an investment. But when you reinvest dividends, you don’t even have to take money from other sources to increase your shares. Instead you can simply request that the cash dividend be reinvested into more shares of the same stock or mutual fund. It’s an effortless way of adding shares. Similar to systematic investing, dividend reinvestment imposes investment discipline — you automatically keep putting money in the market during up and down periods. (Don’t forget that dividends can be increased, decreased or eliminated without notice.)

Exercising your investment dollars in these ways can help you keep your portfolio in good shape, which can enable you to make healthy progress toward your long-term financial goals.

Arlene Height, owner of Naicam Flowers, generously supported the Ques-nel Autism Parent Support Group with a cash donation from the sales of Gerbera Daisies during Autism Awareness Month in April.

The funds will be used to offer a 4th annual community barbecue in Septem-ber for families who may be affected with Neurological Disor-ders. This barbecue raises community awareness regard-ing Autism Spectrum Disorders and other neurological disorders and plays a small

part in enhancing the lives of families in our community.

Picture below – The Autism Parent Group acknowledges Naicam Flowers’ donation though a celebration ceremony on June 3 where the cheque was presented to Sarah Wemyss. Sarah, the childcare provider, has worked for many years with the children whose parents attend the support group.

“This support group offers an opportunity for children to spend time with other chil-dren who accept them for who they are,” Wemyss said.

The Autism Parent Group had been sup-ported by the Quesnel and District Child Development Cen-tre for many years.

However, due to funding issues, it was necessary to apply for outside funding to sustain the group. A grant offered from BC

Children’s Hospital Fam-ily Support Groups/ Network Funding Committee made this possible.

Yes, the buzz word again this week is

SUSTAINABILITY. I’m referring to

our city’s Integrated Community Sustainability Plan (“ICSP” or “Plan”) through ourQuesnel and over the next months, I am going to cover, in more depth, the process as well as each of the key strategy areas. There are ten strategy areas in all but for my column this week, and to follow my column last week, I’d like to talk about the process used in reaching our Plan.

The ICSP does not go into the extensive research that was done prior to the start of the Plan so I’d like to provide you with a little bit of background.

Planning for sustainability started back in 1972 with the Stockholm Conference on the Human Environment and in 1980, with the World Conservation Strategy of the International Union for the Conservation of Nature. The leaders of our world realized the need to create an organization whose sole purpose was to raise awareness of the need for sustainable development. The Brundtland Commission’ mission, formerly known as the World Commission on Environment and Development, was to unite countries to pursue sustainable development together.

Our Task Force needed a statement or description of what sustainability means to Quesnel. Sustainability or sustainable development is defined in many different ways. In our commentary, we refer to the description given by the Brundtland Commission in their report entitled Our Common

Future, produced in 1987, “…activities that meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.”

Although the statement is powerful, it required

additional clarity and precision for effective strategic planning and action toward the desired outcomes. We understand that meeting needs is dependent upon three things; our economic system, human society and a healthy functioning environment. Using this connection, a sustainable community is one with a robust, resilient economy within and serving a strong, equitable society, supported by and living within a highly functioning natural environment. Does this sound like our Quesnel?

The cohesion between outside enterprise and the City has already begun. We will move to the variety of community groups to find out what their vision is and how we can assist them in making their vision a reality.

I will be covering all of the strategy areas over the next year, so please, if you have any questions or comments, let me know.

Help us move forward.Be a part of the City’s

sustainability plan.We have a great community

and our council and staff are committed to moving Quesnel forward!

If you have a question for Mayor Mary Sjostrom, please e-mail it to us at [email protected] and we’ll forward it to the Mayor so she can answer it in an upcoming column.

My friend posted a craigslist ad online from

a Vancouver restaurant looking for solo musicians to play in their venue for free, with the privilege of promoting their music. A funny responder to the ad posted a counter offer for a restauranteur to come to their house and cook in their home for free, with the privilege of promoting their food.

Like many people, I shared the posting to my Facebook account and the comments went wild. One was from a restaurant owner defending the exploitive offer, but most came from frustrated artists who were tired of being disrespected and taken advantage of.

“You want entertainment? Pay for it,” Rick “Poppa Dawg” Hallishef, a well known, well paid local musician posted under the owner’s comment. “The plumber ain’t gonna come and clean your toilet for tips and neither should we. If you are too cheap to pay, then you don’t deserve live music. And if you play for free, you are getting what you are worth.”

Ouch, his last sentence stung.

I’m not a musician, but as a writer I am an artist and I’ve worked for free many times over the years. It hasn’t felt good, but it’s what artists do, isn’t it?

As expressive people with a burning desire to get our work out of our minds and into the world, we often will accept exposure in lieu of money because having our creations read, seen or heard is vital. Sadly, artists can’t even do that sometimes.

“Get a real job,” is the advice most of us receive, probably because almost everyone knows at least one starving artist that they pity. It doesn’t seem to matter if that person is the most talented person they’ve ever met - unless they’re making

a decent living at what they’re doing, in our society, their value isn’t worth much.

Jock Hildebrand is my friend who shared that craigslist ad in the first place. He’s an incredibly gifted sculptor who has been at it for decades with an impressive collection of art that is now world renowned. But he remembers all too well the expectation that he give his art away for free, or at a drastically reduced rate, to charity auctions for the so called “exposure” he would gain. Now, together with his wife Carmen, they are calling on everyone involved to stop this practice because those kinds of fundraisers reduce the price of art and keep artists in a subordinate position with no benefit to their career.

“Public art galleries should be our biggest championing the arts,” he said. “But they’re doing the opposite when they take someone’s work for free, or for cheap. New artists wanting to break in are promised great exposure by someone who speaks with authority, but in my

experience, it never pays off. I don’t know anyone whose career has skyrocketed due to giving their art away at a fundraiser.”

Gallery giveaways are detrimental to artists because they’re allowing their work to get lost amidst other art in exchange for low bids, or no bids. They’re usually not putting their best foot forward by showing their best work either, since it’s a freebie situation.

“It does nothing for the artist and that kind of exposure will do the opposite of helping them,” he said. “Yes, I’ve done it. But it’s not something I would recommend to any artist.”

If art is wanted for a fundraiser, he suggests it be paid for by a donor, and then given away at the full value that it’s worth. Like PoppaDawg said, the plumber ain’t gonna play for tips, so why should we?

On A Brighter NoteLori Welbourne

Who pays?Amid all the salacious Senate

scandals recently, I had com-pletely forgotten that I had

lunch with Mike Duffy a few years ago.Well, it wasn’t just he and I, but

rather I attended a Conservative fund-raising luncheon at the Ramada. Cari-boo-Prince George MP Dick Harris in-vited me to the soiree and, as it turned out, I was the only media person in attendance. Guess that counts as an exclusive.Harris sat me down at the head table

with Duffy and I got to chat a little bit with the journalist-turned-Senator … and now, Senator-turned-Senate-reform-whipping-boy.I do remember that I was somewhat

disappointed in Duffy’s speech when he was here, though, as it was as par-tisan as partisan can be. I was, prob-ably naively, hoping for something less esoteric. However, it was a party fund-raiser, so I was probably hoping it was something more than it actually was.Duffy did make one remark, though,

that might come back to bite him and, according to my new source at Ma-clean’s, he made in several places back then.Duffy was relatively new to the whole

Senate thing and wasn’t afraid to pok-ing fun at the institution.He quipped that being an MP is a

thankless task while being a Senator is a task-less thanks. Yup, I can see that one coming back to bite.The big question about Duffy’s visit

here, of course, is who paid for it.His luncheon was clearly a Conserva-

tive party fundraiser. The Conserva-tive party should have picked up the tab. And the lines do get fuzzy. For example, if Premier Christy Clark flies up to Prince George for a Liberal party fundraiser, which she and her predeces-sor have done, should the electorate pick up the tab for that? Clark, and her predecessor, travel with an entourage that includes an RCMP security detail. Should the public or the party pay those expenses if the trip is to attend a party function?Politicians often get around this by

making an announcement in the af-ternoon prior to the fundraiser, thus making it “official business.”And politicians wonder why the pub-

lic often thinks they’re fleecing them.– Prince George Free Press

Editor:I am writing in response

to Colin Kinsley’s recent letter to the editor.

I attended the city council meeting where Mr. Kinsley made a submission in support of the Northern Gateway Project.

He stated that he had grandchildren and he was doing this for their economic future.

Many scientists, climatologists are very worried about runaway climate change and they believe we are at a tipping point now. Our carbon levels are now at 400 ppm, higher than it had been in the last 2 million years. They have stated that if the two pipelines, Northern Gateway and Kinder Morgan, are built, it will certainly mean that we will have runaway

climate change. I believe this to be true.

Runaway climate change will have disastrous consequences for civilization and will be irreversible.

Many people will be displaced from rising sea levels, food shortages will be become severe and there will be many crop failure.

Hungry people become angry leading to conflict and wars. It will become uncomfortable to live and there will be severe storms, droughts, floods and fires. Volcanoes will erupt as the ice caps melt in Iceland.

Mathane (a greenhouse gas 20 times for potent than CO2) are being released from the melting permafrost and from the Arctic ocean.

So, I would like to ask

Mr. Kinsley, do you think your grandchildren will be thanking you for this? I have a better idea.

We need effort and resources to replace fossil duels with “green” energy and technologies. Instead of promoting Enbridge’s northern gateway and the tar sands, you could promote bio-fuels and energy from our forest waste or wind energy in the Peace river country or geothermal energy in Nazko or tidal power on the coast or any number of other green initiatives.

Just think, if we shut the tar sands down we could burn all that “unfracked” natural gas that is presently used to melt the oil out of the tar sands to heat our houses and run our vehicles for the next 100 years.

I would like to suggest

to Mr. Kinsley, that he could promote conservation.

This alone could reduce our dependence on oil by up to 50 per cent. Instead of driving a 4x4 pickup, he could drive a small fuel efficint vehicle that gets 60 mpg. Or he could live in a house that costs $200-$300 to heat a year instead of $2000 to $3000.

Mr. Kinsley could lobby the government to increase the carbon tax on fuel that could be put into public transit or green initiatives. He could lobby the government to change the building code to include quadruple sealed windows and green roofs.

All these initiatives would create employment and grow the economy.

The same night that

Colin Kinsley presented his perspective to city council, Katrin McLean also made a well-researched and passionate presentation about the potential threats to the eco-systems and wild life and stressed that the Northern Gateway project should not proceed.

I was impressed with the knowledge and awareness about the issues of our city councillors and mayor. I am sure they will do the right thing and NOT endorse the Northern Gateway project.

Even if the project is as safe and as good for the economy as Mr. Kinsley claims, with its harm to our climate, it is not a good project for BC, Canada or the world.

I was watching the national news the other

night and Alison Redford was making a joke, I think. She said they “were stewards of the environment.”

I didn’t think it was very funny. Canadians are second only to the Americans in the amount of CO2 emitted per capita (about 20 tons/year) and we are rapidly becoming #1 in the world.

We need the same world wide effort to combat climate change as the effort that defeated Hitler in the Second WW.

That means me, you, government and corporations and everybody else joining the effort.

Please help make me a proud Canadian and be a leader against climate change.

RENOTIME

Renovations aren’t just about updating the design and comfort of your home or cottage, they can also be a great way to incorporate better approaches and sustainable technologies that cost very little, but lead to big savings.

It’s often hard to know where to start when considering a green renovation.

If you’re considering a partial or full home renovation and want to go green, visit www.cagbc.org/greenhomes for a valuable list of resources, including local architects, advisors or contractors who are best qualified to help.

Here are some simple tips to get you thinking about renovating your space with an eye to saving – both money and the environment:

• Often in renovations you

have the opportunity to fill un-insulated spaces to make them more energy efficient.

To go green, consider rock wool or cellulose insulation. Both are available at most home renovation centers and contain recycled content, are made in Canada and have the potential to reduce your monthly heating costs.

• The biggest single electricity user in an average gas heated home is your refrigerator. While renovating a kitchen, consider recycling your old fridge (many utility companies will pick it up for free) and purchasing an Energy Star fridge. Choosing a smaller size will also reduce the monthly energy cost. Compare the EnerGuide rating that is listed on each fridge before you buy one – this will tell you which ones will save you the most energy and the most money.

• Reducing water use and hot water bills when renovating your bathroom is easy. Installing a low flow or low flow dual-flush toilet can reduce your water use by up to 25 per cent. A smart way to sort through what works best on the market now is to visit www.map-testing.com.

• Did you know showers use about 40 per cent of the hot water in your home? Installing the right low flow shower head, especially one that is 1.75 gallons per minute (GPM) or less, will save you up to 30 per cent.

• When looking to replace or install new windows, look for those that are Energy Star rated for zone C or D.

You could also consider installing casement windows, which tend to be less drafty as they age when compared to slider and double hung windows.

Renovating your home smartly can help save you money. News Canada photo

Home tips to save money

Before renovating your home, you prob-ably have a number of questions and con-cerns about making smart investments.

How much will a new furnace lower my energy bill?

Should I replace my windows, or install more insulation? What options are most cost effective?

Measuring the

energy efficiency of your house before your renovations will help you make smart choices when choos-ing upgrades.

The EnerGuide Rat-ing System (ERS) is a national rating and recommen-dations tool designed to support home-owners and meet the needs of communities across Canada. An

EnerGuide evalua-tion is the first step in smart home renova-tion and provides a roadmap to help homeowners make the most energy and cost efficient choices for their prop-erty.

An evaluation expert will test your house as a complete system by looking at equipment and con-

struction together to see how your home’s energy efficiency may affect your bottom line. Your home is scored and compared to similar properties in your region, giving you objective infor-mation to make in-formed choices.Since 1997, more than one million homes have received ERS ratings.

Years ago, when our boys were just little tykes, the freshly

plowed garden was the favourite place to play in the spring time. They loved to run barefoot through the just-turned dirt and sink up to their little knees. And just to improve on a “perfect” playtime, they sometimes got the hose going to make lakes, rivers and watering holes for the animals.

One day when they came in for lunch, they left the water running and on returning to play sank into the mud, stepping right out of their gum boots and up to their little hips! Cries for help rang out, but when rescued, I just released them to have a wonderful, squishy romp in the mud, to sling mud-mitts across the garden and generally enjoy pig-heaven – something I hear can be very expensive at fancy spas.

Looking back, I am amazed to remember how perfectly “safe” and normal the wet mud hole appeared before the boys entered the quagmire. So many things in life puzzle me

and trip me up with similar deception. I know that I am in good company with many others in remembering situations when several options appeared to be safe, but when I made a choice, the quicksand of disaster appeared.

Some may react to situations like this by stepping back and refusing to make any choice. But this little gem comes to mind regarding that option: “There is only one way to avoid criticism – do nothing, say nothing and be nothing.” Many of us have found out that by doing nothing, we actually are “doing something.”

Jesus had something to say

about this in His story of the talents. The servant who received one talent decided that in order to avoid doing “the wrong thing,” he would do nothing. Ironically, that was the very thing not to do. We see the application in life, merely abstaining from evil does not make one good. Thus no number of don’ts can make a person a Christian. Adding up don’ts is like adding up a column of zeroes; the answer is still zero.

We meet many people who pride themselves on the 1,000 bad things they don’t do, but they are unable to point to a single, positive, good thing that they do.

Merely doing nothing is a most dangerous mistake for us to make. In order to be a force for good, we must engage life and act when we see a way to make a positive difference.

Well done, my good and faithful servant. You have been faithful in handling this small amount – let’s celebrate together! – Matthew 25:21

ANNIE GALLANTObserver Reporter

When the military arrived at Pen-Y-Bryn farm, just south of Kersley, it

wasn’t so much a military exercise as an outdoor classroom where horses were desks and Paul Nich-ols, his family and several local equine experts were the teachers.

Nichols is a member of the 4th Canadian Ranger Patrol Group. The role of the Rangers is to provide a military reserve presence in those sparsely settled north-ern, coastal and isolated areas of Canada which can not conve-niently or economically be covered by other elements of the military. They provide lightly equipped, self-suf� cient mobile forces in support of the Canadian Forces’ sovereignty (above the 60th paral-lel) and domestic operation tasks.

However, up to now that has never included on horseback.

Nichols saw an opportunity to bring his extensive horse skills to the Ranger training program.

The 4th Canadian Ranger Patrol Group covers Western Canada from Haida Gwaii to Manitoba and provides the eyes and ears for Canadian Forces and the Govern-ment of Canada, Commanding Of� cer Lieutenant-Colonel Tim Byers said.

There are 42 patrol locations within the 4th Ranger Patrol, 25 of which are in B.C.

“We go into areas and recruit those with existing skills such as hunting, � shing, trapping, boat skills and other local expertise. They know their area very well,” he said.

“What we’re looking for is to tap into existing skills which the military needs to operate in every part of Canada. These rangers are essential to Canada.”

Nichols is uniquely positioned to be a Ranger as he has a military background in addition to his horsemanship and other skills.

As ex-military, Nichols brings the ability to bridge between civil powers and regular army. He knows both sides.

Rangers came for the horse training course from across the patrol area and somewhat un-usual, the students also included regular military personnel.

“Most of the soldiers and rang-ers had very little exposure to horses so we went through a few days of introduction to horses then some went on advanced trail rides,” Beyers said.

“To be fair, some of those on the advanced rides had never been on a horse before coming to the course.”

Nichols said he was out to prove, in � ve days, he could take people

with no riding experience, teach them the skills they need and cover ground inaccessible to all-terrain vehicles.

“And we did it,” he said.But Nichols wasn’t alone. He

drew on the expertise of local horse people such as Gary Nich-olson and of course his own wife Terry and daughters Jordan and Kirsten.

“We had a really great crew at the farm. I think as challenges came up we quickly worked together, everyone was very like-minded with different approaches to solving the same problem,” he said.

“Of course there were problems, but nothing we couldn’t over-come.”

Both Beyers and Nichols agreed the week-long training session was a huge success.

“I think it went outstanding,” Beyers said.

“We’re looking to do it again next year.”

He also said with the training session including regular soldiers it was a great introduction of the rangers and their skills to armed forces personnel.

“Rangers aren’t as well-known to the regular soldiers, but in cur-rent military thinking, rangers are considered an essential service, so as we better educate the regular soldiers on the abilities of these rangers, it’s excellent for the mili-tary and the Canadian Govern-ment,” he added.

The operations group will be back in Quesnel in September to discuss next year’s training and other options for incorporating horses in not only the ranger pro-gram but also possibly the regular military. There are also possibili-ties for a horse program with the Junior Rangers, which are similar to the cadet program.

Nichols looks forward to new opportunities and says one of the things Pen-Y-Bryn farm does very well is partnerships.

“With such groups as CHAAPS, high school programs and 4-H horse programs, we provide the facility and we help them out where we can, but basically they’re on their own,” he said.

“This is just another partnership for us, but one that is very close to my heart.”

Terry and Paul are hosting a barbecue on Sunday, June 23, 6:30 p.m. at Pen-Y-Bryn for all the lo-cal people who assisted with the week-long Ranger training session.

“Kersley Community Association was particularly helpful.

However, they also welcome to public to drop by to � nd out more about Pen-Y-Bryn, the Ranger program and what the Nichols family does on the farm.

Teen in-school mentor Ashley

describes her experience as a mentor.

“I have participated during two semesters in the Big Brothers/Big Sisters program. The first semester I took the program as part of Grade 11 psychology class and I found it very inspirational. I was lucky to have two little buddies in kindergarten and one of them had special needs. I was unaware of my one buddy’s special needs until I started comparing his mental capacity to my other buddy. I then worked to make games fair for both of them. For example, I would let my buddy with special needs create a game based on a real sport my other buddy would want to play. It was very interesting to see how their minds worked and how sincere and passionate they were for being such a young age. I had a remarkable time learning with my buddies, as well as about them and being able to provide a friendship for both of them. I believe I made a greater impact on my buddy with special needs because I was his only friend willing to have patience with him and work at his speed at the time. The look on his face when he would see me enter the playground, while waiting by the supervisor was absolutely priceless. I have never seen a larger smile on a child before and it gave me a wonderful feeling of importance and satisfaction with my role in this program. I learned how to makes games fair and how to interact officially and as a friend with my little buddies without one of them feeling left out. I learned how remarkable their minds are and just how great it feels to provide a secure friendship by being a big buddy.

“I was so inspired from the first semester of being a big buddy that I am now participating in the program again during my spare in Grade 12. I go every Thursday to see my same little buddy with

special needs as in Grade 11. He is still the remarkable and inspirational boy I developed a friendship with the year before. He remembered who I am and was quite willing and content with having me as a big buddy again,

which really showed me that I made an impact on him last year and what the program is really about. I have tried to teach him my name, but he just wants me to be known as his big buddy, which always puts a smile on my face. I have learned the obstacles he struggles with and I have found ways to overcome them with him. I have learned how simple it really is to work with a child with special needs as long as you have patience and take the time to become their friend. Working with my little buddy has truly shown me the great purpose of this program by being a friend to someone who doesn’t have any. I know I have impacted my buddy’s life in a positive way, but I also know that this knowledge has a greater effect on me. I am proud to be a part of the Big Brothers/Big Sisters program and to have had these experiences to learn the needs of others and just how great it feels to truly help someone.”

The Teen In-School Mentor program has been a great success. Our organization is now planning to expand with a Senior In-School Mentoring program. This project is funded in part by the Government of Canada’s New Horizons for Seniors program. We are encouraging seniors to contact our office (250-992-7257) to discover how they can contribute to a young person’s life and enjoy contributing to the community.

Dianne Holyk passed away peacefully in Victoria, BC after a brief illness on Tuesday June 11th, 2013 with her family by her side at Victoria General Hospital.

Dianne was born in Leoville, Saskatchewan on December 13th, 1947 to Antoinette and Elmer Doucette. Dianne was the eldest of eight children born to her parents. On August 2nd, 1968 Dianne married David Holyk and together they had two children, Jackie and Michael. In 1975 Dianne and her family moved to Quesnel, BC where she made her home for the next 38 years.

Dianne was known as a sel� ess individual and a hard worker, having spent 23 years working at Quesnel Forest Products, before her retirement. She frequently volunteered for the various sports organizations her children or grandchildren belonged to. She could often be found shuttling Jackie and Michael and their friends or teammates to the Quesnel Civic Arena or the various softball and baseball � elds around the city. She was much admired for her devotion to her

children and grandchildren and their dreams. In her retirement years she could most often be found in her yard tending to her gardening or spending time with her beloved dogs, Maggie and Ben.

Dianne is predeceased by her parents Antoinette and Elmer Doucette. She is survived by her husband David, daughter Jackie (Ron) Richert, son Michael (Kari) Holyk, sisters; Lucille Robins, Angela Fjeld, Laurette Peet, Annette Nolette, brothers Andy Doucette, Hubert Doucette, Laurent Doucette grandchildren; Regan, Alena, Casey and Timothy.

Dianne will be deeply missed by all of her friends and family and will be remembered by all who knew her as someone who had a tremendous impact on those around her. She liked to help others with as little fuss or attention as possible and leaves this trait as her greatest legacy to her children and grandchildren.

Her family would like to thank all of the dedicated health professionals who assisted Dianne during her illness with a special Thank

You to the nursing sta� in the Neuroscience, ICU and Acute Care wards of the Victoria General Hospital. These wonderful men and women provided Dianne and her family with a peaceful and digni� ed � nal few days together.

Friends and family are invited to Dianne’s funeral which will be held at St. Anns Catholic Church in Quesnel, BC on Saturday, June 29th at 11:00 am. There will be a tea hosted at the Parish Hall after the internment to celebrate Dianne’s life. In lieu of � owers, Dianne’s family would like to have any donations be made to the Quesnel School District Breakfast program. She found her work with the students of Red Blu� Elementary School in the breakfast program extremely meaningful and it was one of the most rewarding experiences of her retirement.

Obituary TributeLeo Rutledge Sr.August 13,1938 ~ June 15, 2013

It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved husband, father, grandfather and brother. Leo Rutledge Sr. passed away peacefully at home, surrounded by his family, on Saturday, June

15, 2013.

Leo was born in 1938 in the Ft. St. John hospital, and was raised on the family farm in Hudson Hope, B.C. Af-

ter Agricultural College he worked on the family farm until 1965, followed by a couple of years in the oilpatch before join-

ing the Ministry of Highways. He spent the next 27 years in the northern part of British Columbia, moving to Quesnel in 1988. In 1991 he retired from road maintenance and owned Rutledge Excavating followed by Rodeo Creek.

Leo is survived by his loving wife of 50 years, Glenys, his daughter, Christine (Paul) Kennedy, and his sons, Leo (Sandy) and Stephen (Marni); all his ‘favou-rite’ grandchildren, Jennifer (Tyler) Selzler, Stephanie, Kayla, Kimberly, Kassidy, Jared, and Alissa. He is also survived by his two sisters, Valerie Powell, of Ft. St. John, and Linnet (Peter)Kiss, of Edmonton, and their families.

He is predeceased by his father Leo in 2005, his mother Ethel in 2011, and his brother-in-law Hubert Powell in 2008.

Leo loved being outdoors, hunting, � shing, gol� ng or team roping. But above all else, he will be remembered as a proud and devoted family man.

The family wishes to thank Dr. Buys, Dr. Casses, Dr. Evans, Dr. Walker, Dr. Verma, everyone at GR Baker Hospital and the community nursing sta� for all their care, compassion and support during Leo’s illness.

A memorial team roping and celebration will be held at Alex Fraser Park on September 7, 2013.

Ready, set, go! The 5th annual Quesnel Amazing Race will be held Aug. 10 at Lebourdais Park. The Quesnel and Dis-

trict Hospice Palliative Care Association and the Canadian Cancer Society are co-beneficia-ries of all the funds raised. These two organi-zations have an 18-year history together! The Amazing Race sends teams on a race filled with many clues and challenges that need to be ful-

filled.E x t r a o r d i n a r y

things are hiding in places you may pass by every day but never think to look at. Teams will need to be capable of completing chal-lenges correctly in the midst of per-sistence. There will

be 8 – 10 events which will test you physically and mentally and fabulous prizes include train rides to Jasper, a flight to Vancouver, raft trips, golf passes and many more! This event will push you to become an adventurer in search of something. Life can prove to be like a parachute jump where you have to take chances, or you find yourself falling over and getting up again. With cancer, there comes many questions and few answers. There comes pain and suffering. Sometimes, the only weapon a person has left to fight with is hope.

The event needs more volunteers and if you are interested in lending your time and talents, contact the Quesnel unit office at 992-6551. If you are interested in registering, please drop by the Canadian Cancer Society office or the Ques-nel Observer to pick up a form. The registration deadline is July 31 and registration packages are now available. If you have any questions/concerns call Judy Monych at 250-985-5816.

I will leave you with a quote from one of my favourite books, My Sister’s Keeper (if you’re looking for a good summer read, I strongly sug-gest it.) Maybe who we are isn’t so much about what we do, but rather what we’re capable of when we least expect it.

Summer office hours for the Quesnel unit start-ing June 1 – Sept. 3 are Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, 11a.m. – 1 p.m. The next meeting is Sept. 11 at noon.

In Loving Memory of

Brendan KennedyJuly 11, 1947 ~ December 31, 2012

A long time resident of Quesnel Brendan Kennedy passed away peacefully on the morning of 31 December 2012 in Prince George Hospital.Throughout his career he was widely acknowledged as a tireless advocate for the least advantaged members of the community.He will be missed. Mostly he was known as someone to call upon if you needed help.Brendan is survived by his wife Edith and his brothers

Vincent, Desmond and Gerard and his family.

Friends and colleagues will be welcome to join in

celebration of his life in June 29, 2013

at Balsam Avenue 1:00 pm to 4 pm.

The time is just about upon us for the first annual Stompin’ Tom Connors Festival at the Sunset Theatre in Wells, B.C., beginning June 29 – July 1.

This grassroots gathering celebrates a great Canadian’s life, spirit and songs. Musicians such as Joey Onley are performing selections of Connors’ repertoire and festival-goers will have the opportunity to take part in singsongs, plus dance their boots off at the Cariboo Clogeroo.

“Stompin’ Tom was not only a creative force,” festival organizer, Wells artist and resident Bill Horne said,

“he was a cultural provocateur who worked tirelessly to open our ears and eyes to the beauty of Canada and its people. What better way to honour his vision than to bring people together to hear and sing his songs?”

In addition to music, the festival includes poetry, prose readings and theatre inspired by Connors. A “Good One Side” art exhibition is also mounted

at Amazing Space Studio, also in Wells.

And of course special ‘spuds’ will be available at local establishments.

From page to stage, organizers expect the Stompin’ Tom Connors Festival to inspire new work as well as pay homage to a Canadian hero.

Wells, a small northern gold mining town, is well suited to host this festival. As legend has it, back in the 1930s, when he

started the Cariboo Gold Quartz mine, Fred Wells liked to hire hard rock miners who were musical.

To this day, at a coffeehouse or concert in Wells, audiences do not hesitate to sing along, when asked.

Organizers believe that willingness fits perfectly with Stompin’ Tom’s call to sing about Canada.

For tickets, general information and dates, contact the Sunset Theatre, 250-994-3400 or [email protected].

Passing off the glovesCoach Wally Doern passes the club on to the next generation

JONAS GAGNONObserver Reporter

Come next boxing season, the boxing club, and the community at large, will notice a hole somewhere very near its heart.

Doern, a stalwart of the community and founder and coach of the Two Rivers Boxing Club, is heading off to Alberta this summer to follow a job. Though the boxing community may miss him, he’s found a family to make sure it doesn’t crumble in his absence.

Matt Tessier and Tracy Murphy will be taking over the club, with their son Kyle Tessier helping out.

The Tessiers have been part of the club ever since they put Kyle in the club just over three years ago.

The Tessier’s commitment to the club, with Kyle never missing training and the both Matt Tessier and Murphy coming along with their son to watch, impressed Doern.

A year ago Murphy started doing secretarial and treasury duties when Doern was feeling spread thin and Kyle took on a leadership role within the club as well, leading stretches and taking on some of the training from the older boxers whose careers and families weren’t letting them out to the club as much.

So when Doern needed someone to fill his shoes, he turned to the Tessiers.

The transition won’t be an easy one, as the family moves to take the place of a coach that has nurtured the club since it’s very beginning.

“We have some big shoes to fill so hopefully everyone still comes and supports us,” Murphy said.

Though this will be Matt Tessier’s first foray into coaching boxing, he said it’s been a passion of his for a while. He also brings some martial arts knowledge to the club.

His real training though has been through Doern.

“Wally’s an excellent coach and for the past three years I’ve been watching him,” Matt Tessier said.

“We’ve been here three days of the week every time and I’ve been learning from him.”

This isn’t the first time Doern has left town to follow job prospects, but it is the first time he will hand the reigns of the club over to another coach.

Last time Doern closed down the club, a few of the boxers tried to keep it going but couldn’t put up with the weight of the club.

“It’s a lot of responsibility. Doern

said. “As a coach if you feel sick or like you

don’t want to go, you have to go because you can’t have that door locked with people coming there. That’s not the way to do it.You have to go whether you want to go or not, or make sure you have someone to back you up.”

This time however, Doern doesn’t know if he’ll ever make to back to Quesnel, forcing him to find someone who’s willing to take on the responsibility if he wants the club to continue.

He said he’s happy to have found the Tessiers and is confident in their ability to continue the work.

The Tessiers, for their part, are happy to take a bigger part in the club.

Though Kyle has only been learning the sport for three years, he took to teaching when he was asked to head up the stretches.

Over time, that has morphed into teaching in other ways. And that teaching, in itself, has become a passion for the young boxer.

“I really enjoy teaching it; I love it actually,” he said.

“Sometimes I enjoy teaching more than learning.”

But the boxing club has always been about more than just learning how to punch and guard. For Doern, it has been about teaching young people respect and good companionship and keeping people out of trouble on a Friday night. And giving all of that at an price that was made affordable for everyone.

“Either you paid or you didn’t,” Doern said of system of fees for the boxers.

Having a child go through that training, the Tessiers knew how it could affect the young boxers for the better.

Matt Tessier said the training has had a big, positive affect on Kyle and Kyle agrees. Seeing that positive change in his son, Matt wants to help.

“We thought it was a great idea to keep the club open and keep his legacy going and have somewhere to come for the kids to showcase their skills.” Matt said.

And Doern isn’t going to abandon them to their own devices. Both the Tessiers and Doern realize that the transition will be hard and with the technology of the day communication will be easy. Between phone calls, Skype and emails, there are plenty of ways for Doern to communicate.

And when it comes down to it, Matt knows that simple distance won’t change Doern’s status in the club.

“If he comes to town it’s still his club essentially,” he said.

Cariboo memories from the ringfrom A20

Of course, the change isn't easy after 12 years of coaching.

"I have mixed emotions. It was my creation but I know at this point in my life I have other plans I want to see done,"

There are many memories Doern said he holds dear and acievements he’s proud of from his time in Quesnel.

One of the biggest things for Doern is watching young people in his gym, some with a history of trouble, sweating it through a training sessions of a Friday night.

“It was my biggest achievement,” he said.

It was efforts like that, to get troubled teens off the street, offering boxing as an option no matter what financial problems families might have, that made Doern an important part of the community at large, culminating in a nomination for Citizen of the Year.

And when he got those young people in the gym, it wasn’t fighting he was trying to teach them, it was respect and good sportsmanship in the guise of pugilism training, because respect and good sportsmanship can continue with a person as they continue their way through a life after boxing

One of his greatest memories ringside is taking the B.C. junior boxing team to nationals in St. Johns, Newfoundland.

The community also recognised Doern for his work in getting people to visit Quesnel by putting on his Rumbles by awarding him the community booster award.

The pinnacle of his time as a coach came just this year when he was inducted into the B.C. Amateur Boxing Hall of Fame for his efforts to build the sport here in central B.C.

It’s the people and the community Doern said he’ll miss, as the sport itself is portable and will be going with him in his training schedule.

“It keeps the blood pressure down,” he said with a laugh.

Doern waid he’ll miss watching the kids grow and coaching them through the sport, especially with a few up-and-comers that he sees some potential in.

But Doern, just like the dozens of boxers he’s coached in the past, has seen it’s time to move on with his life.

The boxers that have grown under his tutelage will miss him though.

“I'm definitely going to miss Wally,” Kyle Tessier said.

“Without him I don't think I'd still be in the sport . He encouraged me to keep going, to go to the bag and to compete. He even encouraged me to start teaching.”

Dan Mott, one of the older boxers at the club, will be sad to see Doern, who he said was the main reason the club has stayed open, go.

"It sucks to lose him because he's so passionate," Mott said.

Now it’s up to the Tessiers to provide the passion as Doern moves on with his life to Alberta.But where ever Doern goes he’ll be a part of the club; after all, he’s just a phone call away.

Doern trains a student at the club.Observer File Photo

Pitchers gathered in the horseshoes club last weekend for the Quesnel Open.

Vic Vallee of P.G. stood on top in the men's class 'A' with an unmarred record of three wins. Mike Cunningham, also of P.G., and Joe Brietkopf of Abbortsford, were caught in a second/third tie, both with three wins and a pair of losses.

Prince George's Ida Boschman won the women's class 'A' with two wins and a loss, followed by Quesnel's Helene Boudreau with the opposite record.

Boschman went on to take first in the mixed 'A'.

Vallee also dominated the men's 'B' class, with six wins and nary a loss. Cunningham once again came in second to Vallee, losing two of his six games, and Phil Erickson rounded out the top three with a pair of wins and four losses.

Jeanette Ferrara took the top place in the women's class 'B' with four wins, followed by Helene Boudreau.

Boschman took first in the Mixed 'A', the senior's mixed and the senior ladies and men mixed. Helene Boudreau took second with two wins and an equal amount off losses in the senior ladies and men mixed.

Vallee once again found victory in the senior men's 40 foot, though not as handily as his other victories as he was forced into a playoff for the top spot. Erickson came in second with five wins and a couple of losses. Cunningham came in third with a four win, two loss record.

Marcel Pinette took first in the senior men's 30 foot.

Ferrara took first in the women's 'C' class, followed by Boudreau in second.

Erickson found his way to first in the men's 'C' class with five wins and a single loss, though he had to win a playoff to get there. Herb Boschman of Prince George took second with two losses in his six games. Cunningham and Brietkopf tied for second/third, each with three wins and a pair of losses.

Harold Noakes took first in the men's 'E' class.

TOM FLETCHERBlack Press

Premier Christy Clark has rolled back salary increases for political staff, after getting an earful from voters.

Clark told reporters Wednesday that salary increases for her chief of staff and new positions with the same title in ministers' offices will not go ahead.

"I have heard a lot from British Columbians in the last week about this issue of changing the pay scales and pay levels for political staff, so today I am rescinding those changes, because leader-ship means listening to people," Clark said. "Although the original change would have meant we were underspending the budget by $100,000, I've heard loud and clear that people didn't like it."

The lone exception is Clark's new deputy chief of staff, Michele Cadario, hired for the premier's office after serving as deputy cam-paign manager for the B.C. Liberal election campaign. Cadario will receive a salary of $195,148 to do the operations and policy roles formerly done by two people.

Dan Doyle, Clark's chief of staff, remains at the same salary as Cadario. A government spokes-

man said Doyle never accepted any raise, but recommended the maximum for his position be in-creased to $230,000 to attract the best candidate for his successor.

The top rate for ministry chiefs of staff, formerly ministerial as-sistants, will remain at $94,500 a year. The top rate for them was first increased to $105,000, then rolled back to $102,000 before being cancelled. Five of the people appointed to those jobs have had raises cancelled.

NDP leader Adrian Dix, con-tacted in Kelowna where he is campaigning in a byelection where Clark hopes to win a seat, said the raises show the government is "tone deaf" to the concerns of ordinary people.

Dix said the decision to scrap the raises is "the first victory for Car-ole Gordon," the NDP candidate in the Westside-Kelowna byelec-tion.

Gordon is running in the byelec-tion called for July 10, after Clark was defeated by NDP candidate David Eby in a bid to retain her Vancouver-Point Grey seat.

In the May 14 general election, Gordon lost by nearly a two-to-one margin to B.C. Liberal incum-bent Ben Stewart, who resigned last week to allow Clark to run.

That all my little handprints,Will be too hard to recall.

So here’s a special print,just so you will know,

exactly how my fi ngers looked,when I was 4 years old

Sarah
