The Gold Pan’s museum is receiving a much-needed lighting upgrade, thanks to close to $40,000 in federal funding.

Last Friday Cariboo–Prince George MP Dick Harris announced the funding under the Infra-structure Improvement Fund (CIIF).

The investment of $39,905 will be used for ren-ovations, including the installation of new light-ing to improve the safety and accessibility of the facility.

“ Right now we have fluorescent, office style lighting throughout the museum with a few spot lights added in the new wing,” museum curator Elizabeth Hunter said.

“We will be replacing approximately half the existing fluorescents with new low energy fluo-rescents for basic ambient lighting and replacing the other half with fiber optic spotlights.”

Hunter explained the lighting has several advan-tages, including environmental as well as helping to preserve precious pieces in the museum.

“Finally, with the spots we can direct the light to pick out more significant artifacts, text panels etc. so the exhibits should look better,” she said.

Hunter explained the museum will also be in-stalling fiber optic lighting in many of the exhibit cases, ensuring visitors have the best visual pos-sible.

“The end goal is lower energy consumption, lower operating costs and add more effective or dramatic lighting,” she said.

“By making these investments in local infra-structure, we are helping boost economic activ-ity and maintain a high quality of life for the re-gion,” Harris added.

CIIF is a two-year national program that will invest $150 million to rehabilitate and improve existing community infrastructure across Cana-da. It works to help modernize infrastructure and provide broad-based economic benefits to com-munities.

“The upgrade to the lighting in the museum will not only make our facility green, thus reduc-ing energy and operating costs, it will help pre-serve our treasured collections and visually en-hance our striking exhibits, making it even more appealing to visitors,” Mayor Mary Sjostrom said.

Lighting is expected to be installed in the fall, once tourist season slows down.

Proposed B.C. re� nery switches technologyTOM FLETCHER

Black Press

Newspaper publisher David Black is revising his B.C. environmental assessment application for a large-scale heavy oil re� nery in Kitimat to use a new re� ning process to reduce its environmental impact.

Black gave an update on the project to a B.C. Chamber of Commerce breakfast in Vancouver Wednesday, saying he has found most of the $25 billion in � nancing needed and buyers for the re� nery’s fuel products. He said customer contracts and � nancing are to be � nalized within two months.

Black also released a Mustel Group poll conducted in February that shows three out of four people support the idea to re� ne crude oil in Kitimat.

A 57 per cent majority continue to oppose the Enbridge Northern Gateway plan to pipe crude to Kitimat and load it on ocean tankers. Black said rejection of pipelines would only push crude oil producers to use rail

transport to reach his re� nery and other buyers.

The new process makes synthetic fuels from the heavy tar left over from conventional oil re� ning, instead of extracting the carbon as petroleum coke as is done in Alberta and elsewhere.

Black said in an interview there are currently four other heavy oil re� neries under construction around the world, two in Africa and two in Saudi Arabia. All are about the same scale as his proposed Kitimat Clean plant, processing about 400,000 barrels per day of heavy oil using “cokers” that extract the coal-like byproduct.

A re� nery of that size would � ll 100 rail cars per day with petroleum coke, which is typically burned for metal production and contains sulphur as well as similar carbon intensity to metallurgical coal.

Shell’s re� nery at Anacortes, Wa. currently processes Alberta oil sands crude using cokers, selling the petroleum coke for aluminum re� ning.

The new process adds

hydrogen from natural gas to combine with the excess carbon in heavy oil, increasing the amount of gasoline, jet fuel and diesel produced.

“It will be 50 per cent cleaner than any other re� nery in the world,” Black said. “It’s going to cost about $3 billion more and I’m going to organize the money for it.”

The process received a Canadian patent last fall for Calgary-based Expander

Energy. It adapts a process developed in Germany in the early 1900s to convert coal to synthetic gas, which was relied on for vehicle and aircraft fuel by the German armed forces while their conventional fuel sources were embargoed during World War II.

Expander’s modi� ed process converts bitumen, petroleum coke, biomass or municipal solid waste into gas products used to make synthetic diesel and jet fuel.

Publisher David Black says he has the financing and buyers to com-plete a large-scale refinery at Kitimat, which can get Alberta heavy oil by rail if necessary.

“At a Special Committee Meeting last night, Town Council gave approval to an immediate start on the new Museum and Tourist Bureau building here which is to be located on park property at the foot of Carson ave. immediately across from the Highways Department Offices. A tender call for construction of the foundation and floor slab appears in today’s issue of the Observer. All bids must be submitted to the town office by 5p.m. next Wednesday, March 6. The project is to be carried out under the WinterWorks Program and construction will be supervised by Art Micky, town works foreman. Council stipulated last night that local workmen will be engaged exclusively. It is hoped that the 80 by 20 foot concrete block structure can be completed by May 31. While the Winter Works Program is scheduled to be closed April 30, it has been extended to May 31 the past two years and council anticipatesthat this will prove the case this year.”

Simpson calls for best practicesCariboo North

MLA Bob Simpson called for a roundtable process to develop best practices for placer mining last week during question period. Documents released last year via a freedom of information request revealed the Ministry of Environment and Ministry of Mines disagreed about the level of regulatory compliance in the placer mining industry.

“A Ministry of Environment audit concluded that 74 percent of the placer operations they inspected were out of compliance,” Simpson said.

“The Ministry of Mines responded to that audit, saying Environment staff violated the Mines Act when they conducted the inspections and that the placer mine operations that were audited were

actually 94 percent in compliance.”

The Indepdent MLA asked the ministers to clarify the discrepancy.

Minister of Mines Rich Coleman responded there were “unresolved issues respecting methodology,” but the industry is “expected to adhere to environmental standards.”

Simpson asked the minister to bring together stakeholders including ministry staff, placer miners, local governments, and First Nations representatives for a roundtable process to develop industry best practices.

“What we need is a roundtable with all the relevant parties to make sure that not only the ministries are aligned, but that First Nations, local governments, and the placer miners are all on the same page,” Simpson said.

Simpson noted the District of Wells had raised concerns about increased placer activities.

Minister Coleman noted that the ministries have been working with the Cariboo Mining Association “to bring awareness of current safety and environmental standards,” and in response to Simpson’s questions he pledged that those conversations would continue outwards to include First Nations throughout 2013.

“Mining development is an important part of diversifying our regional economy and placer mining has been a significant contributor to our region for over 150 years,” Simpson said.

“Placer miners need clarity on the exact

regulatory framework they are to adhere to, and the community needs to know that placer activities will always reflect and be held accountable to the best possible practices.”

DriveABLESimpson tabled

a petition in the Legislature signed by 1,001 residents who want a DriveABLE testing centre in Quesnel.

“Seniors are tested to ensure their safety and the safety of their fellow drivers, but those tests have to be done in a fair and accessible way,” said Simpson. “Right now we don’t have a DriveABLE testing centre in Quesnel, which means seniors have to travel to be tested in either Prince George or Williams Lake, which is

unacceptable.”While the petition

asks for DriveABLE testing in Quesnel, seniors would prefer to see the program eliminated, arguing that they should have the right to take an actual driving test in their car and in their community.

“We have Service BC offices throughout the Cariboo that provide regular driving tests as well as computer-based tests for new drivers,” said Simpson.

“The Cariboo is growing, and an increasing number of seniors are choosing to call this region home. Government services for seniors, including driving tests, should be available in the closest urban centre.”

Why So Secretive?The Liberal government has been facing uncomfortable questions about leaked internal emails outlining their “multicultural outreach” strategy. This completely inappropriate vote-getting plan would have mixed party and public resources to court different cultural communities across BC, and it appears to have been coordinated by high-level staff in the Premier’s inner circle.

What’s interesting about the leaked documents is that the email addresses were all private accounts, putting them outside the reach of Freedom of Information (FOI) requests. Earlier this week the Information and Privacy Commissioner released a report on the increasing number of FOI requests that come up blank. Requests to the Premier’s Office resulted in “no responsive records” 45 per cent of the time in 2011/12, up 15 per cent over the previous year. Twenty-five per cent of requests government-wide also return no results.

When Christy Clark ran for the Liberal leadership, she made a number of commitments to “open government” and transparency, but the Privacy Commissioner says there’s a culture of verbal government in the Premier’s Office. Emails are only used to set up phone calls and in-person meetings, and those “transitory” records are deleted. When no records exist, British Columbians might never learn the details behind important government decisions.

You may remember that there were apparently no records created during the removal of the Premier’s Chief of Staff, Ken Boessenkool; Deputy Chief of Staff Kim Haakstad, who resigned over the most recent scandal, says those records probably did exist, but they were deleted. According to another FOI request, apparently no emails or letters were ever exchanged between the Premier and the Finance Minister or Prime Minister about the HST. Right.

Freedom of Information legislation should make it easier to do my job, but our requests also come up dry, even when we have evidence that records must exist. When there are documents, we’re frequently told there will be stiff fees – sometimes thousands of dollars – to cobble together what we’re after. If we pursue one of those large requests, public money starts to move around in a weird cycle – from our office back to crown corporations and ministries – just so we can get the information we need to hold government to account.

It’s hardly “freedom of information” when written records don’t exist and information isn’t free. What happened to the promise of open and transparent government?

So many reasons to relayImagine yourself

standing in LeBourdais Park.

It is a bright, sunny morning in May, hundreds of people lining a track laid out with pylons and flagging tape.

There are decorated tents everywhere, a giant balloon arch marking the start of the track, and a feeling of excitement in the air. What captures everyone’s attention, though, is the group of people in yellow shirts gathering at the balloon arch.

They’ve washed the paint off of their hands after signing their name and their cancer-free years on the banner of hope.

They line up under the arch as the music swells and the local paddling clubs raise their paddles high in the air.

These are the survivors, people of all ages who have battled cancer and forced it into remission.

As they walk the track with pride and happiness, some walking strong on their own feet, others with the aid of friends or family, and others in wheelchairs, the other Relay For Life participants cheer, clap, wave, and even cry.

Watching the survivor lap brings a rush of emotion as hope infuses all

those at the event, a soft whisper from the heart that says, “This is why we relay; so that anyone diagnosed with cancer will be able to celebrate their continued life year after year and need not live in fear.”

Imagine yourself standing in LeBourdais Park. It’s a cool evening in May after sunset, hundreds of people gathering in front of the Friendship stage. Each person holds an unlit candle, while behind them the tents have been taken down and the park is nearly empty but for the luminaries which now mark the track with their light.

From a single candle all the others are lit, and a solemn walk begins along a path lit by the soft glow of hundreds of luminaries.

As people pass these small white bags illuminated by a candle, highlighting the names of loved ones, some stop to smile, to hug, to mourn, and to cry.

As we witness this emotional ceremony, as the candles glowing on the hillside shift from “hope” to “cure” to “life,” and as the music lifts to a hopeful tone, a truth is known among all gathered.

“This is why we relay; to remember

those who have lost their lives to cancer and fight for a world where we no longer lose our loved ones to this terrible disease.”

Imagine holding your loved ones close when they tell you they have been diagnosed with cancer. Imagine the fear, the uncertainty, the worry, the desperation.

Now imagine a world where a cancer diagnosis no longer carries those fears and emotions.

A world where cancer can be treated easily and effectively and a cancer diagnosis does not alter your life expectancy.

This is the world the Canadian Cancer Society is working towards.

This is why we Relay For Life.

It’s Time for a Cure.For more

What’s an hour worth

to you?The concept of time is

just as subjective as the concept of flavour... or the

concept of what good music is.We’ve all got our own ideas

and we’ve all got a date with a changing clock this Saturday night.The fact that some folks don’t

think it’s a big deal only goes to illustrate the point made above.What’s widely accepted is that

one hour makes a pretty extreme difference across the board. It’s like the difference in one or two degrees spelling the difference between a bumper crop and a famine.Authorities will likely report

a spike in car accidents during morning commutes following Saturday night’s seasonal adjustment to our clocks.People who study such things in

extreme depth can estimate the dollars lost to society by way of eroded productivity thanks to that lost hour of shut-eye.Some of us are not likely to

lose too much sleep worrying about such things, we’re already consumed by enough critical points to ponder.The main thing is that we’ve

got more daylight with which to revel in the joy of North Cariboo living, and that more than makes up for an hour of lost wink-time.Don’t think we won’t appreciate

getting it back next fall, by then, we’ll need it.

–Black Press

Last week I was told that I looked really good for my age.

A couple of days later a friend said that I was probably a real stunner when I was in my twenties.

On both occasions I believe these people intended their remarks to be compliments. But to me, neither of them felt exactly like that. I thought it odd they tainted a perfectly nice thing to say by bringing age into the equation, but remarks like these are nothing new.

As with many things that amuse and/or puzzle me, I put the comments on Facebook and asked people which of the two they’d rather be told.

Most saw the remarks as backhanded compliments, and didn’t like either. Some offered up funny things they’d been told themselves:

“You look good for someone your size. ”

“I like your haircut, it’s 10 times better!”

Also: “You look slim from the front.”

Backhanded compliments have continued to fascinate me ever since I received one from my first boyfriend.

“You’re pretty,” he said.“You could never be on a

magazine cover or anything like that, but you’re pretty.”

I remember sitting there dumbfounded, trying to figure out if he intended to be insulting or if he was simply clueless. I found a smarter boyfriend after that.

Over the years I’ve encountered many incidents where I was left wondering what was meant. I finally got up the nerve to ask when I was 25 years old.

“You have a nice figure for such a big-boned girl,” a co-worker had told me.

“I can’t tell,” I said timidly.“Did you mean that as a

compliment?”“What are you talking

about?” she responded, confused.

When I said it would have felt more flattering if she hadn’t added the big-boned

part, she looked at me like I was a raving psycho, so I dropped it.

When this kind of thing happens now, I might wonder their intended message, but I rarely bother to ask, because it’s not important what they think of me.

I must confess though, I have also said some stupid things.

A few nights ago I met a gorgeous, young lady with super long, brown hair and I told her she looked like Alanis Morissette.

I wanted to add that she was an even prettier version of the singer, but instead of saying that, I said this:

“You look like Alanis Morissette – but less horsey.”

Everyone around us laughed, including her, so I felt safe that it was regarded as funny and nothing more.

But it occurred to me later that I may have insulted her, which was not my intention at all.

The fact is, I think Alanis Morissette is beautiful and I thought the girl I met was even more beautiful.

But how would she know that? Maybe she

was left feeling that I was some old hag giving her a backhanded compliment, exactly the way I felt when the woman commented on my “big bones” 20 years before.

The point is, we never truly know what people are thinking or if their words are sincere. But it shouldn’t matter. What matters is what we think of ourselves.

I’m trying to teach my nine-year-old daughter that concept, since she’s at that age where backhanded compliments and in-your-face insults are a frequent occurrence.

Life is too short to take negative, or perceived negative comments, personally. What others say and think about us is their business, not ours.

As the former First Lady of America Eleanor Roosevelt once said: “No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.”

She couldn’t have been more right about that. Those are words worth living.

Whether we talk about projects we

need to do this year or projects we’ll need to address 30 years from now, the common refrain in those discussions is sustainability.

As I’ve written before, a common definition of sustainability is being able to meet our needs without sacrificing the ability of future generations to meet their needs.

Over the past year, we’ve been working on defining what a sustainable future for our community looks like.

We put together a task force under the leadership

of Coun. Ed Coleman to envision that future and to draft a roadmap for how we get there.

That work culminated this week with the release of the ourQuesnel: Integrated Community Sustainability Plan.

This document provides a vision for a successful and sustainable future; describes our priorities for

success in the long term; and lays out strategy areas that contain actions that will help us reach that sustainable future.

The task force created this document, informed by an advisory team made up of citizens, Council, staff and partner organizations.

We received a lot of public input at several steps in the process – thank you!

Through this document, we’re focusing on 10 strategy areas: economy, work, education and skills training; transportation and mobility; energy, water, resources and waste; food; social

and community well-being; ecosystems, natural areas and parks; communications and connectivity infrastructure; buildings and sites; arts, culture, recreation and leisure; and housing and land use.

We’ve also created a series of 2013 actions in these areas to lead us to greater sustainability.

The goal of this process was not just to create another plan; rather, it was to create a new approach to strategic planning for the community. City Council as well as the Quesnel Community and Economic Development

Corporation have already adopted the approach in their strategic planning processes. I hope other organizations will look at this document and process and refer to them in their own planning as well.

What we need now is to hear your thoughts about where we stand. Do you like the approach?

Do you want to learn more about how your organization can use the ourQuesnel process? Do you have ideas on how we can improve it?

Let us know – we want to hear from you.

You can view the draft ourQuesnel ICSP at www.

ourquesnel.com.You can direct

your comments to [email protected] or [email protected]

You can also like us at www.facebook.com/ourquesnel.

Today’s generations have a responsibility to those of the future to create a more sustainable decision-making process.

I’m excited to hear what you think about it!

Do you have a question for Mayor Mary Sjostrom? 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.

For the past 20 years, discerning consumers have made the Legion Flea Market one of their shopping

musts. Various quality gently-used items are clearly displayed on tables in the lower level of the Quesnel Legion hall, ready for that special person to purchase.

Perhaps the most important aspect to this shopping experience is where

the money is put to use. Every penny is income for the Quesnel Legion for services to veterans and their families.

“The � ea market is a critical part of keeping the Legion doors open and providing services to veterans and their families,” � ea market volunteer and long-time Legion member Ken Lewington said.

However, donations are key to the success of the � ea market, which is now open Wednesday – Saturday, beginning at 9:30 a.m.

Lewington, who is the pickup and

delivery man, says he’ll pickup anytime, seven days a week, anywhere in the Quesnel area, just call him at 250-747-4591. The only items the Flea Market doesn’t sell is clothing and for those donations, Flea Market manager Coletta Telford said, give them to either the Salvation Army or Big Brothers Big Sisters of Quesnel.

The Legion Flea Market is a victim of its own success. At one time their storage room was packed to the rafters with donations but now, with their extended hours and excellent bargains, they are in

need of donations and encourage anyone with items to drop them off anytime Tuesday – Saturday in the Legion foyer, where Lewington will then move it to the lower level for sorting and sales.

Telford and Lewington, along with the third in the � ea market trio, Jean Johnson, thoroughly check all donated items and electrical items, such as small appliances, are also inspected and tested.

“The public has been very good to us and we want to thank everyone for their support and look forward to that support continuing,” Telford said.

She encourages the public to drop in and � nd that perfect item or take this early springtime to � nally purge those unwanted items.

“Coletta is so good with the public, people come back because of her and the great service along with her limitless compassion,” Lewington added much to Coletta’s humble embarrassment.

To � nd out more about donating to the Legion Flea Market call Coletta, 250-992-6140, Ken, 250-747-4591 or the Legion of� ce, 250-992-6819.

Fundraising is critical to the Legion and in addition to the � ea market, there will be pie and layer cake sales, March 30 in the Legion foyer, noon – 5 p.m., where the public is welcome to shop for a special baked item.

Watch for other fundraisers as the season progresses.

Quesnel Film Club’s fourth film presentation Amour, is an award-winning movie and an official selection at the 2012 Toronto International Film Festival. Amour is scheduled for March 14 at the Carib Theatre.

Master director Michael Haneke draws on the extraordinary talents of two of the finest and most legendary performers in the history of French cinema – Jean-Louis Trintignant and Emmanuelle Riva – to create a powerful and moving portrait of an elderly couple struggling with their mortality.

Ensconced in an apartment that fits them like an old glove and settled happily into their long-established domestic routines, retired music teachers Anne and Georges Laurent have their comfortable world cataclysmically upended when Ann suddenly displays symptoms of a stroke.

With Anne now partially paralyzed, Georges struggles to care for her at home, with each day bringing new, painful challenges.

A visit from the couple’s dutiful daughter Eva only further indicates how distant Georges and Anne’s lives now are from the rest of the world – a private realm that grows even more solitary as Anne slips slowly,

unbearably away.It would have been easy, with

material such as this, to slip into the conventions of a tearjerker, but Haneke unerringly steers clear of sentimentality, cliche or pathos.

Humane, compassionate and featuring exquisite performance from three of cinema’s greatest actors, Amour is a magisterial work from

one of contemporary cinema’s most brilliant and fearless artists.

Tickets for Amour are $9 (regular admission) and $7 (seniors) with film memberships included in admission price.

Royal Bank BathtubIn 1928, when the new Royal Bank was built, many of the employees lived in rental accommodations without running water. Therefore, it was decided to install a bathtub with a supply of hot water for the employees to use. Later on, when a special event was happening in town, others were allowed to use the bathtub, a schedule being set up to accommodate them. Imagine how luxuri-ous the experience would seem when you could merely turn on the tap, fill the tub and enjoy. You wouldn’t have had to carry buckets of water into the house, heat it on the wood stove, pour the water into a washtub or bathtub (small by our standards) and then, when finished, carry out buckets of used water. Hav-ing a bath at home could involve a considerable amount of work and planning. Not to mention, for maximum efficiency, you might be the third or fourth person to bathe in that water, after the little ones in the family had their turn. Museum Commissioner Lorna Schley says this is one of her favourite exibits.

Melanie Arlene MightonAugust 8, 1953 ~ February 14, 2013

Melanie was born in Saskatoon Sask. to Cli� ord and Marion Cave. At 2 years old her family moved to Southern B.C. Melanie did most of her schooling in Burnaby, until grade 12 when they moved to Moose Heights in Quesnel.I couldn’t believe my good fortune to have a gorgeous 17 year old move in next door. I was lucky enough to marry that girl and we spent 42 years as best friends. We were blessed with two beautiful daughters Laurel and Amber. Later we welcomed three grandchildren; Nicholas, Jalen and Annika. Melanie

touched so many hearts; her family, friends, and throughout her career at Save On Foods, that includes all of her co-workers and countless customers over her 22 years there. The loss we feel is immeasurable and there will always be an ache in our hearts, but knowing she was loved by so many people will, hopefully, somewhat ease the pain. She will be missed by all that knew her.There are so many people we would like to thank for their outpouring of love and support, it is mind boggling! To my sisters Colleen and Debbie for their amazing work helping me, to Cole Petersen for all his help and outstanding Eulogy, all of our families and friends, Dr. Dorothy Craig, Dr. Gerald McFeteridge, Dr. Michelle Evans and her entire sta� at Ambulatory Care, all of the sta� at G.R. Baker Memorial, to the Dunrovin sta� and the Palliative Care sta� at the Hospice House, OMG! Words alone are not enough to express our gratitude for the care Melanie received while there. To Save On Foods, Arrow Transport, The Kotzer family and kitchen sta� at the Billy Barker, thank you for all you have done. To the countless people that have sent food, � owers, made donations in Melanie’s honour and support of all kinds, you know who you are, Thank You from the bottom of our hearts.

Joe, Laurel, (Shane) Amber, (Cole), Nicholas (Colleen), Jalen, Annika and the entire Mighton and Cave families.

A well-used

stew potMuseum commis-

sioner Lorna Townsend holds up a copper pot belonging to Cariboo’s famous Judge Begbie.

“This is my favourite artifact in the museum because Judge Begbie

is so integral to the history of the whole

province and we have this unique part of him

in our local museum. Every time I look at it, I conjure up images of this tall, distinguished,

British gentleman, complete with his

infamous long, black coat, tall boots and

black hat, astride his equally large horse and

this large, heavy, cop-per mulligan stew pot, beat up and obviously

much-used, hanging from his saddle. I won-

der how all those dents got there. Did it keep

falling from his saddle? Was it campfire events that caused the dam-

age? I love the artifact because it makes our

province’s history come alive.”

The Daffodil Campaign is taking

place and you can pre-order your flowers now!

Daffodil pins will also be avail-able at numerous businesses around Quesnel. Flower orders may be placed now until March 15 by calling The Canadian Cancer Society Quesnel Unit Office at 992-6551, through fax/e-mail or dropping by.

Delivery of flowers is March 28 to local businesses and individuals can pick up their flowers at the Quesnel unit of-fice anytime between 11 a.m. – 3 p.m. on Thursday.

The fundraiser celebrates the Canadian Cancer Society’s mission to fight cancer and raise awareness.

The daffodil is one of the first flowers of spring and was chosen as a symbol of hope.

You may order daffodils for

yourself or give to someone special, or even make an anonymous gift to a cancer patient.

Everyone is touched by cancer at some point in their lives.

This could be you or someone you know. Through cancer we learn what is important and what is not and we are reminded of the love and support of others.

The yellow daffodil pins help raise money for cancer research and programs, but it is also a symbol that individu-als suffering from cancer are not alone.

Order your daffodils and show your support by wear-ing a yellow daffodil pin; we need to show those af-fected by cancer they are not alone and we are fighting with them.

The Canadian Cancer Soci-ety is also actively recruiting

volunteers for the 2013 Daf-fodil Campaign in Quesnel. April is Daffodil Month and we need community involve-ment to ensure the Daffodil Campaign events are success-ful.

So, if you are interested in helping us with the campaign, stop by the office or call 250-992-6551.

The Canadian Cancer Society is a volunteer driven organization with more than 15,000 volunteers located throughout the province.

Without volunteer support, we wouldn’t be able to pro-vide the support services and programs that we do.

Please support us by order-ing daffodils and wearing a daffodil pin in support of cancer fighters and sur-vivors; to honour and to remember.

Ivana Topic is a volunteer with the Canadian Cancer So-ciety in Quesnel and regular Observer columnist.

On Friday, March 1, my husband and I welcomed our first child into the world, a daughter who we named

Vanessa. While we have both been anticipat-ing this day for the past nine months, and even beyond that, nothing could have prepared us for the moment we first laid eyes on her beau-tiful face. In that moment, we both acquired a love for her that can not be put into words, but must be experienced in order to be understood. A parent’s love – now I get it.

I also now under-stand all the pas-sages in the Bible where God calls us each His beloved child – and there are a lot of them! While I appreci-ated the concept before – I am blessed enough to have experienced

my parents’ love for me – it is only now that I can truly marvel at the depth of our heavenly Father’s love for us.

First John 3:1 states, “How great is the love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called the children of God! And that is what we are!”

How wonderful it is to be loved in that way by the Creator of the universe. How awesome it is that the God who holds the whole world in His hands also looks down on each and every one of us with the deep love of a new parent for their child.

As I hold my sleeping baby girl, I picture my-self being cradled in the arms of my heavenly Father in a similar way and find comfort in the fact that I am as loved and cared for by Him as I love and care for my daughter.

If you have not yet experienced this type of love in your life, look no farther than God, who calls you His beloved child and longs for you to call Him “Daddy.”

Laura Van Schaick is a lieutenant with the Salvation Army in Quesnel.

love

Farm leaders from across Canada met in Ottawa late last month for the annual general meeting of the Ca-nadian Federation of Agri-culture (CFA) – Canada’s largest national farm orga-nization – to discuss policy priorities for the sector.

“The meeting brings to-gether expertise and insights from across the country. Our members bring forward concerns and solutions from within their memberships to develop common positions at the national level, re� ect-ing the voice of farmers across Canada,” said CFA President Ron Bonnett.

Many of the discussions this week focused on pol-icy obstacles affecting the growth of the industry, in-cluding: concerns around large-scale farmland pur-chases by farmland trusts, foreign entities, and private � nancial sector investments; the need for a clear under-standing and transparency around the � ve-year agri-

cultural policy framework – Growing Forward 2 – in order to properly inform the next suite of federal ag-ricultural policy; the impact of employment insurance changes and its impact on farmers and their seasonal workers; the need for in-creased commitment to ag-ricultural research funding and capacity; the need for an impact assessment and proper consultation with affected players on changes to container standards; and the need for a rail costing review and concerns around amendments to the Canada Grain Act.

The delegates were pleased to hear from Agriculture and Agri-Food Minister Gerry Ritz who provided details on the Outlook on Farm Income released later that morning, as well as answer-ing a variety of producers’ questions dealing with the winding down of the Shel-terbelt program, changes in regulations of container size,

research, succession plan-ning and concerns related to Agri-recovery limitations in assisting those who experi-ence severe drought in East-ern Canada.

The delegates also appreci-ated the opportunity to have an open dialogue with NDP Agriculture Critic Malcolm Allen and Liberal Agricul-ture Critic Frank Valeriote.

The delegates heard from former president of the Ca-nadian Auto Workers trade union Buzz Hargrove, who spoke to the power behind the collective voice.

Huw Williams, President of Impact Public Affairs, shared best practices for govern-ment relations for Canadian associations.

Representatives from the Conference Board of Cana-da, the National Food Strat-egy® (NFS), and Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada pre-sented on the panel, “Unit-ing the Vision of Agricul-ture and Food in Canada”. The panel highlighted the

strong similarities between the Conference Board’s Ca-nadian Food Strategy and the industry led NFS and the need for government to move forward on building on the work done to date by industry in adopting a food strategy for the country.

This year was an election year for the CFA. Ron Bon-nett returns for a second term as President.

Humphrey Banack of Al-berta was acclaimed � rst Vice-President and Marcel Groleau of Québec, second Vice-President.

The CFA was also pleased to welcome Equine Canada as an Associate Member.

“It’s an exciting and criti-cal time for agriculture. The discussions had at this meet-ing generated strong policy positions and solutions to address the challenges fac-ing the sector today, and I look forward to working with our members, the gov-ernment and stakeholders,” Bonnett said.

Farmers have a reputation for being “strong,

silent types.” Growing up on a farm and getting my hands very much dirty alongside my father, I don’t disagree with some of this “salt of the earth” mystique, but I also think it’s time to move beyond the stereotypes.

Farms nowadays can be complex, highly industrialized businesses with product to develop and markets to access. But I know you know that already.

What you might not know is how important communication is in this new world of complex, production agriculture.

When working with producers on developing written health and safety plans, I always tell them that safety policies, standard operating procedures, and other critical workplace safety documents are not worth the paper they are written on if they aren’t communicated effectively to employees and contractors.

It seems sensible but

it’s harder said than done. The best bet for achieving outstanding communication is to start off on the right foot. Stress that employees are valued and their health and safety is a priority. Ensure they understand the importance of working safely. Ask them about their previous work experience. Did they receive any training? Remember to get copies of any certi� cations or accreditations they may have for your records. If they are a new hire, check their references to ensure they have a positive safety record.

Set a positive example. Make sure your safety policy is communicated to new hires and is posted openly for

everyone else to see too. As a farm owner, you set an example for health and safety on the farm. So be clear about your responsibilities and live up to them.

Safety is a two way street though. Workers will invest in a safe workplace if they feel comfortable raising questions, contributing to safety solutions, participating in safety inspections, and openly discussing safety concerns, incidents and near misses. If you make pre-operational checks on tools, machines, and equipment non-negotiable, and insist on providing your workers with adequate safety education and training, safety will become a part of your

everyday workplace culture.

In the event of a near miss, don’t forget, re� ect. Conduct an investigation and ask your workers several questions: Who was involved?

Where did the incident happen? When did it happen? What were the immediate causes? Why did the incident happen? And how can a similar incident be prevented?

Everyone has a role to play in ensuring the safety of your farm, so cultivate an open, positive working relationship with your employees based on communication and trust.

For more information on communicating farm safety information

or developing your own written health and safety plan, visit www.agsafetyweek.ca.

B.C. Amateur Boxing Hall of Fame

Entering those hallowed hallsJONAS GAGNON

Observer Reporter

In the back room of the Native Friendship centre on North Fraser Rd., at

the Two Rivers Boxing Club, Wally Doern trains young men and women, developing their strength, self control and instilling pride in their abilities.

The room is simple, with years of use showing in its walls and floor. Booms, with heavy bags hanging from them during training, are the only specialized equipment, other than a temporary ring the boxers set up when it’s time to spar. It’s something of a spartan environment, but it warms up when the athletes file in.

The young boxers line up to throw a series of punches at Doern or one of the older athletes, or gather in large circles to do jumping jacks to music, the bass of which rebounds around the room. Doern at intervals sits back and watches, takes part in the training and encourages the boxers in their efforts.

Many of the boxers, from the pre-teens to the over thirties, dream of getting to the real ring, the one on a dais that people gather around and the air turns electric when a bout opens up and the boxers deliver jab after jab, swing after swing, chasing opponents to corners, or being chased themselves.

Before that happens, Doern has to gather outside boxers, organize the event and promote the bout. Only after all that work by Doern will boxers find themselves in the ring, with Doern sitting ringside and proffering words of encouragement and advice to his boxers each time he unfolds their stools for their break.

For that work, in the gym,

in the city and ringside, Doern has been inducted into the B.C. Amateur Boxing Hall of Fame.

The induction is a cap on a long career in boxing, both inside and beside the ring.

“A real honour,” Doern calls it, “ in the twilight of my career.”

The boxers he trains are happy to see their coach get some recognition.

“I think Wally greatly deserves this honour,” Kyle Tessier, who joined the club three years ago, said.

Tessier credits Doern’s teaching with an improvement in self-confidence and skill.

“He’s never harsh; he’s patient and he gives everyone a chance to compete when they say they’re ready.” Dan Mott, a Two Rivers Boxer of three years, said of Doern.

It’s the patience and the gentleness in criticism that Doern feels has found him success with his boxers.

Boxing, for Doern, started in Hope, where he grew up.

Terrorized by bullies in school, Doern hated to go to school and hated coming home from school as bullies often waited for him along his route. The answer to the bullying, for Doern, was boxing.

In the ring and in the gym he found pride and the ability to gaining stick up for himself. The empowerment he felt when he started training hasn’t left him; now he tries to instill that in the young people he trains, giving them somewhere good to be on Friday nights, along with skills to be proud of and a dose of confidence.

In 1964, Doern came north to Quesnel and three years later he opened his first boxing club. Since then, he’s had a string of clubs, opening them when he could, working around career

constraints as much as possible by taking flexible jobs, and closing them when family or career required him to put his passion on hold. The last hiatus was in 2004, when Doern worked the oil patch for five years prior to retirement.

Now retired, Doern doesn’t have to juggle the gym with a job.

After years of pouring energy and passion into boxing Doern has flown high and, at times, felt closer to the bottom.

“The boxer has the advantage in some ways, if he doesn’t want to come, he’s not feeling well or something, he can stay at home, but with me, you know, to be honest there are nights when I really don’t want to go, but I have a commitment and I have to be there,” Doern said.

But the remedy for the doldrums is exactly where he’s headed: to the kids.

“Once I get to the club and I start working with the kids, especially the little fellows with the enthusiasm in their eyes and how hard they’re trying to learn the skills and how hard they’re training, for me it’s very rewarding.”

The highs in his long career are easier to see, characterized as they are by a long list of awards, both in Quesnel, 2003 community booster and 2002 Club of the year, and in the larger boxing community, the Harrold Mann Achievement Award, along with a trip in 2000 to the Nationals where a boxer he trained medalled.

As Doern sits on top of the years of experience, and this crowning award, he looks forward and doesn’t see himself stopping anytime soon: the club is too precious to close and he hasn’t found his successor quite yet.

With Fraser River all but assured of finishing in top spot, the fight is on to determine who will avoid playing

them twice as the FHL push to the playoffs heated up in the last February games.

Blue Collar currently holds down the fourth and final spot, but only assumes that position because of fewer victories than Serenity, who they are knotted in the point department with.

Knowing full well they control their own destiny, BCS upset the rascally rabbit Fraser River squad 6-5, thanks to the return of their franchise player rear guard Brad (Like a good) Neighbour, who earned three assists

while solidifying a D-core that has struggled all year. Collecting another hat trick was Blue Collar sniper Kevin (Hustler) Hesselgrave, whose third tally turned out to be the winner. Scoring his first of the season for his beloved BCS was (Marky) Mark Courtney as Brian (The Dominator) Domeris and Glen (The Chemist) Boudreau both added singletons to go with an assist. Replying for the Chevy Crew who fought back from a 5-2 deficit was Jarett (Stoll) Dumas who scored twice, Randy (Travis) Crofts and Ian (Heartbreaker) Hannah with a goal and assist each, as Bruce (Turn him lose) Broughton unleashed his patented howitzer for his second mesh rippler of the campaign.

The other contest featured some breathtaking goal tending in the first half, as Serenity and Bear were deadlocked at goose eggs before the Builders capitalized on a couple of bounces enroute to the three-nil victory. Earning the shutout was (Have trapper will travel) net-minder Darryl (The Monster) McManus who, despite giving up some juicy rebounds, stifled any Bear second chances. Continuing his domination of Bear, whose candy cane uni’s must bring him to his happy place, was Lee (Nitro) Naeth who broke the stalemate with a wrap around after a shot careened off the glass. (Nitro) wasn’t done there, as he took advantage of what appeared to be an off-side loose puck and gift wrapped Doug (Big) Mack’s ninth of the season, which he made look easy thanks to several seasons of Yorston Street Hockey practice. Also scoring for the Builders was Rob (The Hammer) Lentz, who has flourished on the wing this season after several years on the blue-line.

From searing and rotis-serie cooking, to planking and smoking, gas grills now provide chefs with several different grilling techniques to develop � avours, textures and aromas.

With a quality gas barbecue, the right set of features and these grilling methods, the culinary possibilities for a backyard chef are endless.

So what features do you need?

To get the most out of dif-ferent cooking methods, a gas barbecue has to be designed with these performance fea-tures: Excellent heat retention; searing power and � avour vapourization at the grids; full coverage stainless steel � avour wave, or heat medium; precise heat control; a side burner and a rotisserie burner.

Mastering the Techniques

One of the unique and deli-

cious methods to grill food uses a wooden plank. The smoke created from the plank sitting directly above a lit burner infuses the meat with a delicate smoky � avour.

Using a plank is simple:• Soak it in water for at least an hour and pat it dry.• Pre-heat your grill on high for 10 minutes.• Coat both sides of the plank with olive oil then place the seasoned meat on it.• Place the plank on the grill directly over the lit burner and reduce the heat to medium/low.• Cook the meat to its desired doneness.

Grilling planks are speci� cal-ly designed for the barbecue and there a variety of � avours to choose.

Cedar planks are ideal for salmon, but don’t be afraid to try other meats. Pork goes great on a maple plank and lamb is delicious on alder.

Try planking today with this easy recipe for salmon using a

cedar plank.

Tahini-Sesame Salmon

Ingredients:¼ cup tahini (Sesame Butter)¼ cup honey¼ cup soy SauceWhite wine (for consistency)

• Coat the salmon � llets with a light dusting of salt and black pepper.• Mix the tahini, honey, and soy sauce. Add white wine as necessary if the mixture is too thick. It should be creamy, but still light enough to drizzle and baste.• Coat the � llets with the glaze and arrange them on the planks and place planks on the grill.• Close the lid and cook for 15 – 20 minutes. Salmon is cooked when it is opaque in colour and � akey to the touch of a fork.
