The Cariboo Regional District has expressed its support for the restricted restart of the Mount Polley Mine to the Minister of Energy and Mines, The Honourable Bill Bennett and the Minister of Environment, The Honourable Mary Polak.

The CRD has also requested the government include the Cariboo Regional District and

the community of Likely in future discussions regarding the mine and its operations, to share the Emergency Response Plan with First Nations, the Cariboo Regional District and the community of Likely; and to maintain and expand the role of the Public Liaison Committee to truly gather input from the community.

The Cariboo Regional

District Board has been receiving regular updates from the provincial ministries on the restart application and has been provided with the submissions made to government during the public consultation process.

A decision on the restricted restart of Mount Polley is expected to be rendered by the province by mid-July.

BC Womens Hospital and-Health Centre, in collabora-tion with its research partners, has launched the Canadian Sexual Health Survey(CSHS). This research study is about sexual health and how women and girls access family planning knowledge, services and methods in their commu-nities.

Healthcare professionals have been conducting surveys in person with invited, eligible girls and women aged 14 49 in communities across B.C. since winter 2014.

The CSHS began surveying in the Gold Pan City in June and will continue surveying in communities throughout sum-mer 2015.

Households in communities across B.C. have been ran-domly selected to participate in this survey. If you have been selected and choose to participate, here is what you can expect:

Selected households will receive an introduction letter prior to the survey.

The surveyor will then go door-to-door in vari-ous neighbourhoods to see which households have eligible*participants (female,

aged 14-49) interested in par-ticipating.

At that time, eligible girls and women can decide if they would like to participate.

Participation in this survey is completely voluntary and all eligible women and girls can refuse to participate, choose not to answer a ques-tion, or stop the survey at any time. All participants are anonymous and all informa-tion collected is con dential. Women and girls who are selected and choose to par-ticipate will be offered a $20 honorarium in compensation for the time they spend to assist us to better understand their experiences.

This research follows the highest academic and ethi-cal standards and has been approved by the UBC-Chil-drens and Womens Hospital Research Ethics Board and the Canadian Institutes of Health Research.

The research will be com-piled and shared publically once it is complete. It is ex-pected the research ndings may assist healthcare profes-sionals and policy-makers to best focus healthcare resources that will meet the

sexual health needs of women and girls.

BC Womens Hospital and Health Centre is the prov-inces only facility dedicated to the health of women, new-borns and families. It is one of the countrys busiest maternity centres, delivering more than 7,000 babies annually, and serves as the provincial re-source for high-risk maternity care, as well as the centre for the largest neonatal intensive care unit in B.C.

More than 50,000 women are seen annually through its specialized women and family programs, which include world-class services in medical genetics, HIV care, reproductive health, maternal substance dependency, osteo-porosis and complex chronic diseases.

The Provincial Health Services Authority (PHSA) plans, manages and evaluates selected specialty and prov-ince-wide health care services across B.C., working with the ve geographic health author-ities to deliver province-wide solutions that improve the health of British Columbians.

CITY COUNCIL NEWS

Plenty to do in Q-town

Mayor Bob [email protected]

Bob Simpson, Mayor

This column is paid for by the City of Quesnel.410 Kinchant Street, Quesnel, BC V2J 7J5

www.quesnel.ca

I grew up in the slums of Glasgow, Scotland where our main entertainment involved sling shooting rats and playing in empty lots. I dont remember having access to a playground and our football (soccer) pitches were simply open patches of dirt or grass. This was pre-TV (yep, Im that old); so, no video-games or binge-watching TV shows or movies. In short, we entertained ourselves with whatever was available and mostly outside.

So, I get a little annoyed when I see com-ments on Facebook or hear chatter on the street about there being nothing to do in Quesnel. This is, simply put, a ridiculous claim. Quesnel offers plenty of opportunities for people to be active, entertained, and engaged. Its one of the many reasons my family has remained here over the past 30 years, despite having had opportunities to relocate.

The Citys recently released Master Parks Plan shows that Quesnel has more parks, playgrounds, green space and playing fields than most other communities in BC on a comparative basis. For example, we have four times more city park land per capita than the BC average. Also, the majority of Quesnel residents are well within the rec-ommended 10 minute walking distance of a park or green space. We also boast 13 ball diamonds, compared to the five that similar sized communities generally have.

We also have an indoor and outdoor soccer complex, free tennis courts, a full recreation center with a pool, two arenas, a skate-board park, a bike park, a lawn bowling facility, a horseshoe pitch, a curling rink, a bowling alley, an Agriplex (with an indoor arena), rodeo grounds, and a diverse array of racetrack facilities for motorized sports. We have a phenomenal cross-country ski venue with well laid-out snow shoe trails and a full rental shop. Troll Resort is nearby and very affordable for downhill ski enthusiasts. The city is also surrounded by lakes and an ex-tensive network of trails for cycling, running, hiking, horseback riding, and for ATV and snowmobile use.

Very few communities can boost such a complete list of venues and the opportuni-ties they provide for individuals and families to do something.

To top all of this off, we have plenty of op-portunities to enjoy festivals, art and cultural events, and heritage sites most of which are either free or have a nominal cost.

Enjoy all that Quesnel has to offer this sum-mer (and fall, winter, and spring). Dont take what we have for granted. And, if you hear someone complaining that theres nothing to do in the Q, take them by the hand and show them it aint true.

TOM FLETCHERBlack Press

The Red Chris cop-per and gold mine in northwestern B.C. is ramping up produc-tion after overcoming protests, declining metal prices and three reviews of its tailings facility.

Imperial Metals received its Mines Act permit for Red Chris June 19, after addi-tional scrutiny of the open-pit mines con-struction in the wake of the August 2014 tailings dam breach at the companys Mount Polley mine near Wil-liams Lake.

That breach trig-gered independent reviews of nearly 100 mine tailings ponds with permits across the province, looking for design or op-erational weaknesses that indicate risk.

The Tahltan Nation

commissioned its own assessment of Red Chris, located 18 km southeast of the Tahl-tan village of Iskut, before community members voted 87 per cent in favour of a bene ts sharing agree-ment for the mine.

Powered by BC Hydros new north-west transmission line, the project will truck ore concentrate to the bulk shipping terminal at Stew-art near the Alaska border.

Energy and Mines Minister Bill Bennett said mines like Red Chris can operate pro tably even in the current low-price market for copper, if their processes are ef- cient. Imperial Met-als conducted drill tests showing higher-grade copper and gold deposits deep below the surface ore body.

Imperial has applied for a permit to reopen Mount Polley, using an empty pit to hold tailings as work con-tinues to repair the dam and remediate the washed-out creek below. Bennett said inspectors are expect-ed to make a decision on that permit in July.

Another mine ex-pected to begin opera-tion this summer is

Brucejack, an under-ground gold mine 275 km northwest of Smithers. Under-ground mines pro-duce less waste rock than open-pit opera-tions, and Brucejacks owner Pretivm plan to return some of the rock underground as cemented paste.

Another under-ground mine prepar-ing for operation

is Silvertip, an ore deposit near the Yukon border that was rst identi ed in 1957. The province and the Kaska Dena First Nations signed an engagement agree-ment in 2012, deter-mining a structure for resource permits for Silvertip and other projects covering millions of hectares in northern B.C.

Unitedwe stand

Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, its the only thing that ever has.

Margaret Mead

Bravo Quesnelians and Cariboo residents. Last weeks announcement of UK company Reckitt Benckiser Inc. suspending buying Cariboo farmland for tree-planting in exchange for carbon credits is a huge coup to those not giving way to big business and the unfortunate how do we fight this mentality.Communities across our beautiful

province, specifically in the Peace, Prince George and the Cariboo (yah!) stood firm and united in their quest for governments ear and guess what? They listened. It goes to show what we can

do when we focus together on a common goal, that of protecting our land, our resources, our future. Our intent is to review all aspects

of the program including land buying criteria, Reckitt Benckiser Inc. spokesperson Lynn Kenney told Black Press.We will do so through discussions

with stakeholders including provincial and local governments, community representatives, our suppliers and others with an interest in the program.Yeah thats right, you review the

crap outta this while residents give themselves a huge pat on the back.Big shout out to NDP critic Lana

Popham for holding a meeting in May for concerned farmers and residents and community leaders including council, mayor and MLA Oakes. But a big hells ya to those residents

and farmers who stood united in their quest for change. Its far too easy to give up, to feel as though no one would listen, or better yet truly hear you, but they did. Dont mess with Texas? Pffftt.

Youre in Cariboo country, son.Autumn MacDonald, Observer

Ive just spent two weeks viewing events from the opposite side of Canada, in and around St. Johns Newfoundland. Its the same country, but you wouldnt know it sometimes.

Here on the West Coast, kayaktivists paddled around a Shell offshore oil drilling platform being serviced at Seattle, striking poses of resistance for the media from their petroleum-based watercraft.

Meanwhile at Bull Arm outside St. Johns, work continues on a massive gravity-based structure that will soon be drilling into the Hebron oilfield 350 km offshore. It will have living quarters and drill rig above and a tank with capacity for 1.2 million barrels of crude below.

Offshore oil has turned St. Johns into a boomtown. With one industrial park nearing capacity on the edge of town, a second is under construction. Locals call it Dannyland, after its developer, former premier Danny Williams.

St. Johns Airport is buzzing with flights back and forth to Edmonton and Fort McMurray and crew helicopters shuttling back and forth from offshore oil rigs. Tourism is picking up,

with a new cross-Canada ad campaign and WestJet starting service to Dublin and London.

A foreign supplier won a contract for tankers to bring oil ashore. With no media-connected environmental groups to steer the subject to far-fetched disaster scenarios, debate in the Newfoundland and Labrador legislature turned to concerns about maintaining local employment.

Outside the city, parallels with B.C. become evident. Tiny towns struggle to hang on as young people choose opportunity over isolation, and the only expansion is at church graveyards. While cities struggle with high housing and recreational property costs, homes in remote areas are going for a song.

Up north in Labrador, a hydroelectric dam at

Muskrat Falls is under construction. Its $8 billion estimated price tag is in the same range as BC Hydros Site C project on the Peace River, which will part a sea of protesters and lawyers and move ahead this summer. Nalcor Energy, Newfoundlands electrical utility, is dipping into contingencies in an effort to keep it on time and on budget.

Here on the Left Coast, enviros and the Green Party rail against hydro as well as oil and gas and of course you cant even mention nuclear.

Climate activism proceeds in a logical vacuum in these parts, as it often does in Europe.

Prime Minister Stephen Harper signed on to a farcical carbon free in 85 years pledge at the G7 meeting in Germany. But hey, its an election year, not a time for serious discussion of issues.

Imperial Oils Kearl oilsands mine at Fort McMurray has started production from its $9 billion second phase, with the help of many Newfoundlanders. Production continues to grow, heavy oil prices have surged with paving season,

and large-scale liquefied natural gas export plans begin to take shape in B.C.

With the legislature about to be recalled to endorse the Petronas-led LNG export project, Premier Christy Clark has assembled a climate action team with representatives from industry, First Nations, local governments and a couple of professional protesters for good measure.

They have an absurdly short deadline to recommend changes to B.C.s token carbon tax, as gasoline consumption returns to pre-tax levels despite continued high pump prices.

In St. Johns, another long, cold winter has finally loosened its grip after piling snow to doorknob levels. Every street in sight is being patched and repainted.

The Neanderthal and the early homo sapiens, who lived together on this earth about half a million years ago, left burial sites in Southern France and North Africa.

It is interesting that these old gravesites contained not only the person buried, but also items that would aid these people on their journey to the hereafter.

This time period is usually called the Hunters and Gatherers or the Stone Age and is one of the oldest time periods where cave paintings and other artifacts were found from

about 150,000 years ago.From these cave

drawings and other artifacts we have come to understand more how they lived, but not why they believed in a hereafter.

In many different cults and religions animal power and sacrifice were also present and that went

on for a long time. It is not that long ago that two scientists became aware that gorillas dance and jump in a frenzy during a thunderstorm.

Humans would also have been aware of the immense power of a thunder storm that came from the heavens. It is quite natural to think this power came from a God in the heavens who was to be feared, but although it is very possible, there is no positive proof.

Appeasing this unknown God with a sacrifice would be a logical conclusion, because sacrifice has been and still is common in human

stories. Early in the Bible Abraham was asked by God to sacrifice his son, later in the New Testament God sacrifices his own son. It is known the Aztecs sacrificed humans and today we sacrifice many young people by sending them to war under the motto of freedom. In parts of the Muslim religion suicide bombing is allowed even today.

It is interesting that small parts of the animal power belief remains with names of cars like mustang, cougar and cobra, while in sports teams like the panthers, the black hawks, the

orioles. Almost half a million years of humans on earth, has produced volumes and volumes of both archeology and mythology research.

The overall picture is that over a very long time, humanity has gone through a lot of changes from body sizes to the way we think and live.

Yet some very old beliefs still exist. In the Muslim world where sacrifice still exists in the form of suicide bombers and in the Christian churches God is praised and thanked for sacrificing his Son.

What I think is very strange, is that in one

of the Christian Church rituals, the communion the words spoken by the clergy when they hand out bread and wine are Take this it is my body and drink this it is my blood.

However I look at it, I can only see it as an indirect form of cannibalism.

For me it is strange to even think of eating human flesh.

Whatever the case, the existence and whereabouts of a hereafter remains a mystery.

The Filipino Canadian Community of Quesnel (FCCQ) celebrated Philippine Independence Day June 13 14 on Legion Beach with festivities, feasting and fun. The theme was freedom, culture and fun.

Independence for the Filipino nation was not easily achieved and although June 12, 1898 is considered by Filipinos to be the of cial date of their declared independence it wasnt until July 4, 1946 when they truly gained their independence from the United States. The US has been instrumental in defeating the Spanish at the Battle of Manila in the nal battle of the Spanish-American War. Although this ended 300 years of Spanish occupation of the Philip-pine archipelago when the US wrestled control from Spain just before the turn of the 20th century, the mighty Americans then assumed control over the edgling nation, not relin-quishing that control until just after the Second World War.

Filipinos have always maintained their inde-pendence began on June 12, 1898 and so the celebration on Legion Beach commemorates 117 years of independence.

The celebration kicked off at 2 p.m. with a short ceremonial parade that marched slowly out Hydraulic Road heading to Legion Beach and was led by FCCQ president Jimmy Bau-tista, followed by of cers and advisers of the community and Filipino-Canada families.

The program began with the unfurling of the Philippine and Canadian ags while the Canadian and Philippine National anthems were sung. Elenita Loureiro provided a brief historical background on the Philippine Inde-pendence.

The program culminates with a showcase of Filipino talents including folk dances and the Philippine national dance. Displayed for all to enjoy were exhibits of Filipino products and artifacts and a variety of sumptuous Filipino cuisine.

On the Sunday, it was a family day where ev-eryone gathered to enjoy camping, games and pontoon riding on the lake.

This celebration was aimed at commemorat-ing the Declaration of Philippine Independence and at the same time, promoting Philippine culture and building up camaraderie among the Filipino-Canadian families in Quesnel.

The celebration was enhanced by the efforts and creative mind of Ayana Ein eld and many volunteers.

The Philippines, of cially known as the Republic of the Philippines, is an island nation made of more than 7,107 islands comprising the Philippine Archipelago, located in South-east Asia, with Manila as its capital city.

Filipinos around the world continue to exuberantly celebrate Philippine Independence Day June 12 and are proud and protective of their hard-fought independence.

On June 26, the Occidental welcomes MNGWA, a mixed band with truly global perspective.

Mixing elements of psychedelic rock, cumbia, dub and afrobeat they also sing in four different languages.

Based in East Van-couver, MNGWA is earning a reputation as a juggernaut party band, hosting under-ground shows which include video projec-tions, costumes, pup-pets, live artwork and a colourful entourage of weirdos.

Their entrancing live set leaves a trail of sweaty dance floors behind as they embark on a mini B.C. tour.

Also on stage that evening will be Blocktreat, from Williams Lake.

If you thought you sensed a tree planter idiom in the name, you would be correct.

The band seamlessly meshes elec-

tronic and acoustic instrumentation to make a soothing mosaic of earthy pulsating goodness.

Brandon Hoffmans electronics and effects-drenched mandolin is smashed

against the percussive energy of Brent Morton.

Kenneth James PollockJuly 30, 1950 June 24, 2014

With great sadness, we announce Kens sudden passing after a very short diagnosis of cancer, at the Selkirk General Hospital. Missing Ken very much is his wife Dianne. The day of Kens Memorial June 30, 2014, would have been their 40th Wedding Anniversary. Also missing Ken are Tom & Jean Pollock, Traverse Bay, MB; Nora & Earl Shermerhorn, Carseland, AB, Grace & Huntley OConnor, Regina, SK; Delma & Ken LeBlanc, North Sidney, NS; as well as mother-in-law Anne Burla and Reg & Gloria Burla, Inglis, MB; Don & Jean Burla, Oakville, MB; Rob Burla, Calgary and Randy Burla, Victoria; as well as many nieces, nephews and cousins.

Ken was predeceased by his parents Rev. Thomas & Victoria Pollock, sister and niece Coralie & Lisa Schaay, father-in-law Neil Burla; also by many pets including their much loved Furry child Buddy.

Ken was born in Norway House, and met Dianne, the new teacher, at Wabowden, MB. where he operated Kendale Bus Lines Ltd. Much of their married life was in Alberta running Di-Laryn Transport Ltd. Ken also worked as a Journeyman Machinist; and in Wells-

Barkerville where Ken was self-employed in trucking and mining industries. Ken & Dianne enjoyed time at Northstar Baptist Church and Wells Community Church and their semi-retirement years in their log home east of Barkerville, and winters in Arizona & Maui; and more recently moving back to Manitoba near Grand Beach, MB.

Kens strength, positive character and faith in God were with him to the very end, when he said Im ready to goready to meet Jesus.

Kens wish was to be cremated, and his brother

Tom carved a beautiful wooden box with scenes

from Ken and Diannes life. Pastor Alex Cross performed

the Memorial Service at their Church, Wayside Gospel

Chapel, Grand Marais, MB.

Diannes current address is Box 273 Belair, MB. R0E 0E0

With Jessica Joly B.Sc. (Pharm)Sunburns can be painful and damaging to the skin in the long term. A few tips on treating a sunburn: Move to a cool place; have a cool shower then apply a moisturizing cream and drink plenty of water. You can take an age-appropriate dose of ibuprofen to help with the inflammation and pain. Best way to prevent a sunburn: use a good sunscreen and avoid those hot times of day from 11 to 4.Just as water under too much pressure can damage a hose, if our blood pressure gets too high, it can damage the hoses carrying the blood around our bodies. Blood pressure in men starts to rise around the age of 45 and if left untreated can cause heart attack and stroke as well as cause damage to our kidneys. Men, if you havent had your blood pressure checked lately, get it done soon.Its been said that 60% of Alzheimer case are preventable. Here are a few ways: exercise your brain and your body by learning another language, challenge your body by using the opposite hand for teeth or hair brushing. Get a good nights sleep every night and keep your levels of stress to a minimum. Also, keep socially stimulated and involved in your community. The allergy season is here again. If you are an allergy-sufferer, we invite you to use the knowledge of our pharmacist staff to help you choose an antihistamine that is appropriate for your medical condition and relieve the allergies as well. This is especially important if you are a senior. Use our knowledge to increase your knowledge about the medications you use.

WHITNEY GRIFFITHS Observer Reporter

Quesnels 17th annual poker run raised $307 for the Quesnel and District Hospice Palliative Care Association (QDHPCA).

Any contribution, big or small is always greatly appreciated, vice president for the QDHPCA Barb Watson said.

The 44 bikers attended the Poker Run started the ride off in the rain, but the sky soon cleared and they were able to enjoy the remainder of the run rain free.

Winning for highest hand was Dave Jackson of Williams Lake. Local rider Dave Campbell took lowest hand, hidden and went to Owen Crossman. Winning Mileage was Harvey Thompson and taking furthest ride was Bernard Valois from Merrit.

Poker Run coordinator Marc

Valois sends a big thank you to the team and helpers who made this years run possible; Jackie MacBurnie, Colin Lawson, Frank and Shelley Diggins, Ray and Gina Valois, Owen

RecipesGourmet pairings for your grilling this summer

Summer is barbecue season in Canada. Its a time for friends, family and neighbours to gath-er on patios across the land to enjoy the outdoors, as well as sumptuous meals prepared on millions of barbecues across the country.

Nothing tastes better on the barbecue than authentic European, naturally smoked sausages like Knackwurst, Grillwurst, or Bratwurst.

While sauerkraut and grainy mustard are classic accompani-ments, Pillers corporate chef, Darryl Fletcher - Chef D, also recommends gourmet, home-made pairings for the barbe-cued sausages that will appeal to the sausage gourmand. His tasty toppings include warm carrot and onion slaw, celery root saut, and roasted garlic aioli, and his specialty, a pa-prika glaze for sausage kebobs.

There are several ideal drink pairings that go best with the companys fully cooked sausages. Beer and sausage are a natural t. Chef D suggests selecting a Golden Pilsner to go

with Bratwurst and Grillwurst sausages, and a Pale Lager which pairs well with Knack-wurst. For white wine, he advises that a Riesling with just a hint of sweetness pairs nicely, and for red wine, a Zinfandel.

In order to best utilize these pairings, know the difference between the types of sausages you choose.

Bratwurst, which originates from southwest Germany, is made from coarsely ground pork seasoned with mar-joram and butcher pepper. Knackwurst is a short, plump Frankfurter-style sausage made from nely chopped pork, well spiced with coriander and pep-per, and named for the knack meaning crack in Germana reference to the tendency of the natural casing to snap or crack when you bite into it.

These drink and side dish pairings are the perfect accom-paniment to the smoky, succu-lent avour of sausage that will be a sure re hit at your next family barbeque.

Spice things up with grilled jalapeno mozzarella poppersBring sophistication to a pub-style favourite by saying

goodbye to the deep fryer and ring up the barbecue. Grilling jalapenos brings out their sweetness to counter the spice, which complements the rich avours of moz-zarella and bacon.

Grilled Jalapeno Mozzarella PoppersPrep time: 15 minutesGrilling time: 10 minutesMakes 12 poppers

Ingredients: 2 tbsp (30 ml) olive oil 1 clove garlic, minced 1 tsp (5 ml) lime zest, fi nely grated tsp (1 ml) each salt and ground pepper 12 jalapenos, halved and seeded 6 oz (175 g) Saputo Mozzarellissima cheese, cut into

twelve inch (1-cm) by 2-inch (5-cm) pieces 2 tbsp (30 ml) cilantro, fi nely chopped 6 slices bacon, halved lengthwiseDirections:1. Preheat grill to medium-high and grease grates well.

Combine olive oil with garlic, lime zest, salt and pep-per; brush over cut sides of jalapenos. Stuff one piece of Mozzarellissima into half of the jalapenos and top with cilantro; cap each with an empty jalapeno half. Wrap each pair with a piece of bacon and secure with a toothpick.

2. Place on grill and cook covered, turning occasion-ally, for 5 to 7 minutes or until bacon is lightly crisped.

3. Reduce heat to medium-low and continue to cook covered for 5 minutes, or until the cheese starts to melt and the jalapeno is tender. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to remove excess grease, then serve.
