After provincial me-dia made “negative” remarks regarding the status of the West Quesnel Land Stabil-ity Program, the city is remaining positive.

“We had a great turn out for the West Quesnel Land Stabil-ity meeting and I be-lieve, with the very preliminary results on the de-watering, it looks positive as we move forward with the balance of the project,” mayor Mary Sjostrom said.

“As a city we were disappointed in the Provincial me-dia coverage that was alarming to our resi-dents. We have been open and transparent in this process and have involved our property owners in every step of the way and will continue to do so as we move for-ward.”

More than 70 Quesnel residents at-tended the open house last week to learn more about the stabil-ity program.

City staff and engi-neering consultants were on hand to speak with residents as well as provide an overview of the pro-gram’s progress.

“Engineering stud-ies have indicated that removing groundwa-

ter from the area will stabilize the land to a manageable level,” the city stated.

The 2012 full-scale dewatering program was a $4.731 mil-lion project designed to help reduce land movement in the West Quesnel Land Sta-bility study area. A review of the 2012 works was presented, which included geo-technical, civil and environmental works. The geotechnical and civil works in-cluded 13 productive pumping wells, 13 monitoring wells, 10 horizontal drain sites consisting of approxi-mately 64 drains, ma-jor storm drainage work on Hawk and Stork Avenues and the installation of con-nection piping on all pumping wells and horizontal drains to carry the water from these wells off site. Environmental work consisted of monitor-ing the ponds in the area for water levels and quality, vegeta-tion, amphibians and birds. The monitoring system takes into ac-count surface move-ment, groundwater levels, flow data from the horizontal drains and pumping wells, and precipitation data.

“The completion of this phase and the continuous monitor-

ing of the area would not be possible with-out our federal and provincial partners and for their financial support and commit-ment to the project we are grateful,” Sjos-trom said.

“The West Quesnel Land Stability issue is and will continue to be a top priority of council,

“From a prelimi-nary perspective, these first monitoring results are an indica-tion that our previous trial programs were

on the right track and we are optimis-tic about the eventual outcome. Thank you again to the residents and property own-ers in the study area who have supported and worked with us throughout the pro-cess.

“I strongly support the efforts of City staff and engineers for their geotechnical and civil works and com-mend them for their environmental leader-ship throughout this process,” Coun. Mike

Cave added. “I too feel confident

of the work we are do-ing and look forward to the next steps.” On-going monitoring in the key areas will con-tinue for the next 12 to 14 months and will include all new and existing installations as well as 134 auto-mated instruments generating data by the minute and 47 quar-terly GPS readings. Once the 2013 annual monitoring report is submitted, we will be better able to assess

what effects the full-scale dewatering pro-gram has had. More than $3.154 million was provided by the Government of Can-ada and the Province of British Columbia, through the Building Canada Fund-Com-munities Component program, part of Canada’s Economic Action Plan for this project.

The City of Quesnel also contributed more than $1.557 million to pay for the full-scale dewater-

ing program.In addition to fed-

eral and provincial contributions, the City of Quesnel has invested more than $2.1 million on the West Quesnel Land Stability Program since 2000.

The city said next steps include inter-preting the data, fur-ther design work, addressing defi-ciencies and lobby-ing senior levels of government for con-tinued financial part-nership.

The City of Quesnel has received its � rst microbrewery application.

The proposed microbrewery is planned to be at 185 Davie St.

As the city has never had an application for a microbrewery, there are no bylaws or zoning restrictions.

Due to this, city planner Tanya Turner has recommended a spot zone for the lot.

Several factors were considered during the city’s research into the possible implications of microbreweries and its potential impact.

These were compiled into a report by Turner which was presented at Monday’s meeting.

These factors include garbage out� ow, water and wastewater usage, aroma and odour, storage, traf� c, as well as gas and hazards.

Concerning the garbage out� ow, the proponents have indicated solid waste from the microbrewery would be composed of residual malt and hop materials and unused yeast.

“The spent grains and hops can be collected and given

or sold to local farms where it will be used to feed their livestock,” the proponents said.

Regarding water use, the proponents explained about � ve hectolitres (hl) of water are needed in order to produce one hl of beer and for every hl of beer produced, four to six hl of water is sent to the sewer.

“Water usage for this scale of brewery is anticipated to be less than a restaurant,” the proponents said.

In terms of smell, brewing beer is said to give off a smell reminiscent of Cheerios.

However, the proponents plan to use a ventilation system which would minimize and possibly eliminate odours, making it unlikely to be detectable from outside the building.

According to the report, the gases used in the microbrewery during the process will be carbon dioxide and oxygen, which will be delivered by suppliers.

“A conventional natural gas � red boiler is used to heat the water used for brewing and a food-grade glycol chilling unit for refrigeration,” the report said.

The proponents

are expecting to be open � ve days a week, during regular business hours, creating little traf� c.

“Traf� c to the store is expected to be less than the average cold beer and wine store,” the report explained.

“Combined with a short shopping time, parking requirements are minimal.”

Coun. Sushil Thapar was concerned with the infrastructure and whether it was suitable for the microbrewery.

“It’s the taxpayers who are paying for those pipes and the water the microbrewery is sending to the sewer could deteriorate the system,” he said.

“We need to take measures to protect the infrastructure.”

Director of public works and engineering, Ken Coombs, told council the microbrewery would be in a good place for its water use due to its proximity to the main sewage drain.

Coun. Scott Elliott was looking forward to the potential opportunities this new business would bring to Quesnel.

“This microbrewery would bring a lot of potential tourism to Quesnel,” he said.

Coun. Mike Cave pointed out the

carwash across the street and asked whether that impacted the drainage and asked if this impacted the sewage infrastructure.

“I don’t see any negative impact from this microbrewery,” Coombs said.

“The water supply and sewage are large enough; this location is probably the most suitable site in Quesnel for a microbrewery.”

The proponents made it clear they are interested in conserving as much water as possible during the production of beer.

According to the proponents, they are going to do everything that is reasonably practicable to minimize their water use, including:• Reclaiming their cooling water for use in the next batch;• Using a clean-place system which uses far less water than historical methods;• Examining the possible capture and re-use of � nal rinse water;• Investigating the use of steam for cleaning and sanitizing. This method can replace the use of caustic cleaners and would save the large quantities of water required for rinsing

and neutralizing the caustic and could eliminate a very signi� cant chemical from the process as well.Mayor Mary Sjostrom said she thinks the microbrewery would add much needed diversi� cation to Quesnel.

“We’re always talking about diversifying and I think this proposed business would be a good way to diversify,” Sjostrom said.

A public hearing is slated for June 10, at 6:30 p.m. in the city council chambers.

British Columbia has one of the best oil recovery rates in Canada at 80 per cent, however, every year more than 17 million litres of used oil goes unaccounted for.

As part of their campaign to promote public awareness and encourage responsible recycling, the BC Used Oil Management Association (BCUOMA), a non-profit organization, has launched their eighth annual province-

wide Summer ambassadors Tour.

This year, Tire Stewardship British Columbia [TSBC] has partnered with BCUOMA in an effort to increase awareness of not just oil and antifreeze, but also tire scraps.

This past week a team of Ambassadors spent Tuesday and Wednesday visiting facilities across Quesnel, communicating the important

message “Every drop. Every tread. Every day.”

As part of the ambassadors’ efforts, the team is dedicated to educating the public on the hazards of used oil, antifreeze and tires ending up in landfills, as well as the benefits of recycling and reusing them.

The Ambassadors’ tour can be tracked on their blog www.bcusedoil.com or they can be followed on Twitter at @bcusedoil.

A few years ago I saw a video featuring a woman and her

daughter preparing fresh fruits and vegetables while demonstrating their Today I Ate a Rainbow charts.

I immediately took notice because they were promoting health and nutrition to children in a fun, creative way and I knew my kids – like most – would respond to their strategy.

Fast forward to last week and it’s not just children responding to Kia and Hannah Robertson from Kelowna, BC, but media from all over the world.

It wasn’t their Rainbow business that got them noticed though, it was the speech nine-year old Hannah delivered in person to Don Thompson, CEO of McDonalds at their AGM in Chicago. She told Don that she didn’t think it was fair when “big companies try to trick kids into eating foods that aren’t good for them by using toys and cartoon characters,” and asked “Don’t you want kids to be healthy so they can live a long and happy life?”

Their three-and-a-half minute exchange is available on YouTube and I’d recommend viewing

it if you haven’t heard already. Not because you’re guaranteed to agree, but because it’s not every day someone that young bravely takes on the CEO of the most powerful and influential fast food restaurant chain in the world.

Like many parents of today, Kia taught her daughter that kids have a say and that their opinions matter. The “children are better left seen and not heard” way of thinking has thankfully passed.

“We helped her write the letter,” Kia said.

“But Hannah is passionate about health and nutrition for kids and she meant every word she said.”

Reaction to her confrontation brought on a media frenzy and attention from people all over the globe and it’s been an unexpected surprise to the duo, as well as to the

“Mom’s Not Lovin’ It” group they accompanied to Chicago. But not everyone has been kind.

“Online reaction has been about 60/40 in support,” Kia said. “And some of that 40 per cent has been downright vicious.”

Having to grow a thick skin in a hurry, she said people can say whatever they want about her and her parenting, but her daughter’s off limits.

“We’re not telling people not to eat at McDonald’s,” she said.

“We just wanted to plant the seed in the minds of the CEO and shareholders that marketing junk food directly to children through cartoons and toys is irresponsible and encourages kids to pester their parents for something they might not realize isn’t good for them.”

Of course some people agree with Don Thompson and point to their apple slices, fat free milk, salads and McNugget happy meals as being healthy.

And some even argue that the burgers and fries aren’t bad either. But my teenage employment and subsequent 85-pound weight gain while working there tells me otherwise.

I love what Hannah said and I love that she’s getting so much attention for it, even if the sheer magnitude of it has been lost on her.

“She wasn’t fazed when she was on Good Morning America,” Kia said.

“But when the Daily Courier came by to interview her, she thought ‘wow!’ because she was going to be in the local newspaper.”

Excited to continue with her “Today I Ate a Rainbow” business and the additional interest it’s recieved after four years of slogging away, Kia holds out hope that McDonald’s will stop marketing directly to children and will continue to add healthy choices to their menu.

But she also knows that ultimately it’s up to the consumer to make their own decisions. If McDonald’s adds healthy items to their menu and we don’t buy them, they’re not going to continue.

either one of these choices will see Ford no longer the mayor of To-ronto.His handling of this affair has been

less than stellar. With his blustery and dare I say cocky attitude, he hasn’t endeared the public, espe-cially those who aren’t familiar with the man outside the scandal, to his cause.He seems a man determined to

hang on to this plum political po-sition regardless of the really bad optics.I can’t see an upside to this drama.

Either way, Ford loses and I think his chances of hanging on to the mayor’s chair are slim to none.And he should have gracefully

bowed out, recognized this wasn’t going to end well and will, more than likely, kill any kind of political future he may have aspired to.Going into politics is a crap shoot

at best. With modern investigative technology, your past doesn’t stay in the past very long.

BOB CAMPBELL

Editor:Having been born and

raised in Quesnel, one of the highlights of my summer activities was a trip to Barkerville.

This tradition continued once we had our own

children and each year, it was always a new adventure.

For Cathy Walsh to suggest that it is “almost ho-hum” is extremely negative and offensive, especially now, during our

tourist season.The great day she ended

up having in Barkerville could have been expressed without the comment that “little seems to change from year to year.”

Her letter would

have been much more refreshing if she simply shared her fantastic day in Barkerville.

Having hosted many international students and teachers through our school district

program, we always include Barkerville in our activities, but not because there is no place to take out-of-town visitors.

Perhaps Cathy should take a look at her fellow Rotarian Ron Paull’s

Visitors’ Guide where he boasts 101 activities to do in our beautiful City and in Barkerville.

Super Dave says buy a ticket

Airshow pilot Super Dave checks out the 2002 Mustang Coupe being raffled off by Skyfest - Quesnel’s International Airshow. With only 1,000 tickets being sold, the mineral grey Mustang

with custom rims and tires, premium speaker system, grey leath-er seats, four-speed automatic and 3.8L engine will go to one

lucky ticket holder. Tickets, at $20 each, are available at Cariboo Ford, Integris Credit Union or any Skyfest committee member. Skyfest and Iris are partnering for a fundraising, promotional

barbecue in Iris’ parking lot June 8, 10 a.m. – 4 p.m., where they will be selling hot dogs and other grill items. Along with Mus-

tang ticket sales, there will be a draw prize for some very fancy sunglasses donated by Iris.

Deadline : June 10, 2013 - 4pm

In light of the recent provincial election, it seemed � tting to remember some lo-cal B.C. politicians who were also Past

Masters of Quesnel Lodge No. 69.John Anderson Fraser was elected as

MLA of the Cariboo district the same year he became a Freemason in 1912. Born in Shakespeare, Ontario in 1866, Fraser be-lieved his success came from his attitude to “take whatever job is offered” and to “not be choosy.” True to his word, he held many jobs including lumber piler, longshore-man, teacher, manager, school trustee and merchant. In 1925 he was elected Member of Parliament for the Cariboo and was instrumental in obtaining government fund-ing for the Quesnel Hospital. He kept that seat until 1935. In 1960 he was raised to the Grand Lodge above at the age of 94.

Another local B.C. politician was Louis Adelbert LeBourdais, who joined Quesnel Lodge in 1923. Af-fectionately known as “Louis of the

Cariboo,” LeBourdais was born in Clinton, B.C. in 1888 and came to Quesnel in 1914 as agent for Yukon Telegraph. He was well known for his tales of the colourful charac-ters of his beloved Cariboo. He later served the Cariboo District as MLA for 12 years until his death in 1947. LeBoudais Park is named in his honour.

Last but not least, Rupert Williams Hag-gen was raised to the sublime degree in 1914. He was born in New Zealand in 1887 but came to Canada as a child. Hag-gen arrived in the Quesnel area about 1913 working as a land surveyor. He later settled in the Kooteneys where he represented the electoral district of Grand Forks-Green-wood in the Legislative Assembly of B.C. from 1949 – 1956.

Quesnel No. 69 is proud to count among its past brethren these upstanding and industrious members of B.C.’s political his-tory.

James Climenhage is a member of Quesnel Lodge No. 69 and current Lodge Historian.

Quesnel Historical society meets“Pale green was the color decided on for the interior of Quesnel Museum at last Thursday’s meeting of the Quesnel Historical Society, held at the home of Alvin Johnston. A committee of three will take care of decorators and layout displays, Mrs. Ursula Lalonde, curator of the museum, Mrs. Marie Hutchcroft, assistant curator, and Mrs. Kay Rines. President of the local society. Operation of the Museum will be in the hands of volunteers, at least at the beginning, and Les Cook of Barkerville, who is with the Provincial Parks Board, has promised any help he can give. An interesting clipping was read to the group: “ an Order of Cariboo Pioneers, the Cariboo Brotherhood, was established in April, 1913, and branches organized in Stanley, Quesnel, Ashcroft, Lytton, New Westminster, and Vancouver.The insignia of the association was a miniature gold pan.” None of the old-timers present could remember anything about this organization formed 50 years ago.”

Results from a large-scale national research study

conducted by Centre for Addiction and Mental Health provide independent and reliable evidence for the impact of Big Brothers Big Sisters mentors on Canada’s youth.

When compared with young people who have never been matched, youth who have been matched with a mentor are two times more likely to: have high levels of school bonding; two times more likely to have high academic achievement; two and a half times more likely to participate in extra-curricular school activities; 48 per cent less likely to have behaviour problems in school; 43 per cent less like have conduct problems in school; and 34 per cent less likely to allow themselves to be victimized or bullied by peers.

Mentored youth simply do better.

The Community and the Teen In-School Mentoring programs will soon be

wrapping up for the school year.

Thanks to all the mentors who gave their time to a young elementary student.

If you are interested in participating in the program, give us a call (992-7257.) We are encouraging seniors who have one free hour a week to spare to join in.

We can prepare you to start at an elementary school in the fall.

All proceeds raised by our various fundraising events stay with our local agency.

LIFESTYLES

Kent Pietsch, in his 800-pound Interstate Cadet with a 37-foot wingspan, stumbles a descent then scrapes his wingtip down the runway, the crowd gasps, not certain if this is part of the act or truly a tragedy unfolding before them.

It’s all part of this veteran airshow pilot’s spectacular show which he’s bringing to Skyfest – Quesnel’s International Airshow, Aug. 3 – 4 at the Quesnel Airport.

But Pietsch has other tricks in his bag, including a dead-stick routine from 6,000 feet and a rooftop landing on a moving RV.

When Pietsch is at the controls of his plane, it’s impossible not to watch him

perform.“If you can’t entertain, you have no

business being out there,” he said.

“The grati� cation is in knowing that people are enjoying themselves.”

Since 1973, Pietsch has performed his incredible aerobatic routines for millions of people at more than 400 shows that have taken him to quality venues throughout Canada and the United States. And now he’s adding Quesnel’s Skyfest to that impressive list.

Tickets are available at Circle ‘S’ Western Wear and the Tourist Info Centre for

weekend passes, day passes and weekend camping packages.

For information on Skyfest visit www.quesnelskyfest.ca.

The Winner of this year’s $1,000 Power Pioneers Community Achievement award was Danielle Robert, a student from Correlieu High School. She has demonstrated giving back to her community through her involve-ment in Scouts, Air Cadets, Rotary and Big Brothers and Big Sisters of Quesnel.

Her local contribution started out with Girl Guides of Canada and continued when she transferred into the Baden Powell Scouts in our area.

Her community involvement included event volunteering and fundraising, community clean up and she also branched out to an interna-tional initiative to send scout uniforms to groups on the Ivory Coast of Africa. Through these experiences she learned valuable team building and leadership skills that Danielle went on to use as a scout leader in France, guiding the growth of a group of youths ages 11 – 14. She then went on to mentor a Grade 7 student in Big Brothers and Big Sisters in Quesnel. Danielle joined the Royal Canadian Air Cadets Program and had the same suc-cesses as in her previous endeavours.

She was a Rotary exchange student in France and while on this exchange she tutored other students in English.

She has now taken on the role as a mentor for outbound students and has become in-volved with Rotex, a branch of past exchange students who organize events for the new-comers and act as guides for these youth from other parts of the world.

Danielle will be off to Simon Fraser Univer-sity next fall. She was a very well deserving recipient of this year’s award.

For Marion Gordon, 2007 Quesnel

Volunteer Citizen of the Year, irises and raspberries, herbs and sunflowers, potatoes and scarlet runner beans all just flow together in her bountiful combina-tion garden. She loves working in all that beauty and has never found it too much effort.

“It’s good for the soul,” she said.

The soil in her Red Bluff garden looks rich and dark, but Marion says it’s actually heavy clay and takes a long time to dry out in the spring. But, she does have full sun and the plants flourish. She lays out her rows in a variety of configura-tions to create a more interesting display.

When she and her husband Gerald began gardening there more than 20 years ago, they knew they needed to amend the soil, so they hauled 40-year- old, black sawdust from an abandoned mill site near Alexandria. Over the years they added in their own compost, leaves and grass clip-pings. She collects the coffee grounds from the Seniors’ Centre and egg shells from

all their pancake breakfasts. Those are crushed and placed around the base of the tomato plants to add calcium. She cuts up banana peels and soaks them to extract the potassium and adds that to her watering can. No artificial fertilizers are needed here.

She has few pests, but did wage a re-lentless war against slugs last year. Every evening at 8 p.m. she walked her garden rows for an hour with a bucket of salt and water and collected

any beasties she could find. It took a while to get past the ‘yuck’ factor of handling them, but she forced herself as she hated them so badly.

Her famous raspber-ries, more than 120 feet of them, produce more than enough for her children and grandchildren, as well as 25 ice cream buck-ets to sell to faithful

customers who return year after year. One year, when her grand-daughter Brandy was getting married, Grandma made 165, four-ounce jars of jam to present to the wed-ding guests.

The raspberries are the first job in the spring and they get tilled and pruned after any winter killed canes have been

removed. She keeps them low enough that she and Gerald can easily pick them. In the fall she throws

compost on their base.

She’s never had a green house, so plants directly into the gar-den for most things. A few things like broccoli, cabbage and sweet peas get started in a small kids’ bath tub that she hauls out into the sun in the morning and back in-side for protection at night. She’s in no rush to plant early due to her clay soil, but potatoes are in by the end of April as they can tolerate a slight frost. She saves many of her own seeds and is using potatoes that originated in her father’s garden in Alberta; he has been dead for 13 years.

She waters by hand and only what needs to be done. No large rotating sprinkler or irrigation system here.

Marion has a variety of fruit trees: two

apples, a sour cherry and a crabapple, all of which end up in her 23 cu.ft. freezer. They rest alongside rhubarb, blackber-ries, elderberries, all colours of currants and strawberries. No wonder she won a prize for “A Large Vegetable/Flower Garden” with Com-munities in Bloom.

They have a pump house that can be heated during severe cold spells and here she stores her gunny sacks of potatoes, car-rots and onions. By the end of the season the freezer will be full and the shelves lined with pickles and jams.

Marion’s garden will be featured on our Food Garden Tours in late June when her irises are at their peak. Please join us and be inspired.

JONAS GAGNONObserver Reporter

A trio of women from Quesnel made their way to Kelowna to take part in the FEMSPORT challenge, a women only strength challenge. Mack Attack, so named by taking the first letter of each member's names: Amelie Deyaeger, Kelli Cyca and Megan Booth along with a 'C' for coach, took third in the novice category.

While the impressive finish added spice to the weekend, being in the competition as team mates and competitors cheered, was a great experience.

"All of us were on a high all day; it was so uplifting," Deyaeger said.

The podium finish pushed the experience over the top though.

"We had a smile on our faces from the moment we got the medal through the rest of the day. Even driving back we couldn't stop smiling," Deyaeger said.

The women hauled, lifted, pushed and dragged their way through a series of five challenges: box jumps, which entails jumping onto an 18 inch high box 50 times over three minutes; the kettlebell lift, which entails carrying five kettlebells (20kg–32kg), one at a time 30ft and putting them on a series of ledges of

varying heights ( from 3ft – 5ft); the tire pull, which is essentially as it sounds – pulling a 120 lb tire 75 feet; the tire flip, which is a type of relay with team members flipping a 260 lb tire five times; and finally the obstacle course, which included carrying 45 lb water jugs, a variety of agility areas and ended with pushing a vehicle.

Booth took three podium finishes over the course of the competition, a third in the tire drag and a second in both the obstacle course and the box jumps.

"We all did personal bests in the box jump, so we were all very pumped about it," Deyaeger said.

The team faced off against 14 competing teams, plus unaffiliated competitors, from all over western Canada.

After putting themselves through the difficult competition, the team, including their coach, is not letting up, with plans to take on the Tough Mudder competition soon. They haven't decided on their plans for further Femsport competitions but for now they're just happy to be done.

"One thing we’re very happy about is that we don't ever have to do a box jump again," Deyagaer said.

"They're quite horrendous."

Hunting the elusive Sasquatch

The sound of the birds gets interrupted every couple of minutes with a loud twang of metal on metal that signals another arrow sacrificed to the Sasquatch.

At its feet lay a pile of bent and broken arrows that testify

to the hunger of the sasquatch for its sacrificial victims.

Not all targets were hungry for arrows at the Quesnel Rivers Archery Club 3D shoot though.

Archers gathered at Gamache’s Arena, walking

the trails through the brush and enjoying the scenery and competition.

Archers faced a variety of challenges in the shoot, including shots with drastic elevation changes and bushes encroaching in sightlines.

Clockwise from top left: an archer is surprised after hitting the beast right between it’s eyes

and hearing the ping of it bouncing off;

concentration is the most important part of

archery; eye spy with my little eye a cougar, can you see it?; the shoot is very family friendly,

with all ages showing up to try their hand; bows

ranged between ‘regular’ recurves to fancy com-

pound bows.Jonas Gagnon photo

Osborne took first in the senior men 40 foot, with a 3-1 record. Boschman took second with an

June 2 – 8, 2013ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20Don’t make assumptions this week, Aries. You just can’t trust your gut instincts too much right now. It’s better to get all of the facts and act accordingly.

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21Playing matchmaker isn’t so easy, Taurus. You have to understand when people are compatible and when there just isn’t a spark. Let this one go.

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21Gemini, you may have to pull back your focus on a problem in order to see it in a new light. Take some time away to regroup and then you can come back at full strength.

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22A romantic relationship can be a balancing act, Can-cer. You will learn this first hand this week when you have to come to a compromise with your partner.

LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23Leo, don’t apologize if you feel like you have to go your own way this week. Even when everyone seems to be going in another direction, sometimes you just have to set your own course.

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22Virgo, while others may not be able to handle the confusion this week, you are fully capable of multi-tasking and making it through unscathed.

LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23Libra, you may feel more emotionally charged this week but you still have to think with your head and not your heart. A financial decision may need to reassessed.

SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22Scorpio, look at a situation with a practical eye. Is this really the best answer for the time being? Although you may be leaning one way, you might want to reconsider.

SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21Sagittarius, you need to get work done this week and that can’t happen when you are continually distracted. You might have to nip this one in the bud -- quickly.

CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20A friend needs your support more than ever, Capricorn. Go to great lengths to give this person what they need, even if it means rearranging your schedule.

AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18An email or other correspondence from a past friend could stir up feelings you weren’t ready to deal with right now, Aquarius. Put this on the back burner until you are ready.

PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20Pisces, you are more interested in independence this week than hanging out in large groups. This includes hanging out with your spouse or partner.

JONAS GAGNONObserver Reporter

CJ Directory won last weekend’s Icebreaker for the bantam/midget baseball league, taking the final with a solid defense.

“It was a very defensive game,” CJ Directory coach and bantam/midget director Ray Schwmeler said.

The tournament featured four teams, CJ Directory, Cariboo Ford, Teal Roofing and Cariboo Pulp, playing in a round robin format, with the best two teams facing off in the final.

CJ Directory, Cariboo Ford and Teal Roofing each came out of round robin play with a 2-1 record, forcing the decision to goal differences. Cariboo Ford, at +14, and CJ Directory, at +11, made the finals, leaving Teal Roofing and Cariboo Pulp to fight it out for third and fourth.

Teal Roofing beat Cariboo Pulp to claim third.

CJ Directory and Cariboo Ford took to the diamond for the final, ending in a 5-1 win for CJ.

“It was a nail biter,” Schwemler said.

A game like that can turn around on you in one inning.”

Schwemler credited the depth of his pitching talent with much of the win. Cariboo Ford had only two hits in the game, with a mistake in the outfield allowing their only run.

Schwemler was happy with the weather for the tournament, having had early to call off the

skills competition due to rain. The games only suffered a couple light showers, allowing the tournament to continue as scheduled.

Though the weather was not a factor, absences and injuries did have a large impact on the teams, with players playing injured and teams lending opponents players to allow games to take place.

“There were lots of injuries,” Schwemler said.

“I suspect at the end of the year the results will be different.”

The injuries, however, made for some interesting plays, including Marshall Browne batting in a cast, and getting a couple hits on base.

“It was quite the highlight,” Schwemler said.

Life’s been busy for soccer players, as they have been travelling about the province finding teams to test their mettle against.

On the May Long Weekend four Quesnel teams, the U13, U15 and U17 girls as well as the U15 boys, went to the Kamloops Youth Soccer Association Slurpee Cup.

While the U17 Girls and U15 Boys struggled, the U15 girls and U13 girls both finished third in their groupings, the U15 girls going 2-1-1 and the U13 girls 2-2.

Last weekend the U15 Boys, U12 Boys, U15 Girls, U13 Girls and U11 Girls went to Prince George to play Cariboo League games.

The U15 boys played two older U16 teams, one from Prince George and the other from Williams Lake. Though they controlled most of the play against Prince George, they we unable to finish and fell 0-3. Against Williams Lake, the older team's experience was difficult to match, with the game finishing in a loss.

The U15 girls faced two Williams Lake teams, but had a difficult time finishing as well, with the games ending 2-1 and 4-0 in Williams Lake's favour.

The U13 girls came out strong and scored early in their first game against Prince George's U14 girls. Prince George answered late in the first half, bringing the teams even at half time. Quesnel again regained the lead in second half, but Prince George answered and tied the game seconds before full time. The U13 girls second game was a rematch of their first game, facing the U14 Prince George girls again. This ended in a 0-4 loss under difficult weather conditions as a thunderstorm moved in.

The U12 boys split their games with a loss against Prince George and a win over Williams Lake.

The U11 girls finished similar with a 3-1 loss to Prince George and a 1-1 tie against Williams Lake.

Overall the Quesnel teams played well. The U13 girls and U15 girls are busy

preparing for their provincial qualifying matches against 100 Mile (to be played on June 9 in Williams Lake). The U15 girls will be in PG playing exhibition games with Prince George and Terrace, while the U13's will be hosting a match with Prince George Sunday at 3:45.

The U17 Girls will also be in PG this weekend for exhibition games.

YesteryearsThe things once done in yesteryears,were full of fun and sometimes tears.Remembering things we did for fun,like playing football in the sun.Skipping school just for a lark,then hanging out, down at the park.Our Junior school, named Cariboo,the corner store and Teddy’s too.Spending weekends with our friends,and thinking friendship never ends.We found that cars and booze don’t mix,the year of Nineteen Seventy Six.That year we lost some of the best,like Rocky, Vicki and all the rest.Still left behind were those who cared,a heartfelt sadness we all shared.Yet even though our friends were gone,the rest of us found that life went on.We children now, are fully grownand most have children of our own.We sometimes think of Yesterday,as time moves past us more each day.Yet, even though these times are past,our memories ... will always last.

Gravity-Fed Fresh from school they married youngWhile pregnant with their future son

By twenty-two their world would changeThe children’s ward would know their names

~Diagnosed at three years old

Devastated when they were toldNine � oors up their lives froze stillAmong the clouds, among the ill

~Innocent paintings clothed the walls

Bedtime stories � lled the hall From that day on the years took shape

A hospital bed would be their fate~

No chance to enjoy their brand new home Prescribed and put on prednisone

Gravity-fed from thereon in Their lifelong � ght would then begin

~Between their treatments the children played

As if no sorrow had come their wayThough at times it seemed no hope survived

Especially when someone’s child died~

Many were taken against their willNine � oors up where time stands still

But my brother was one who would get wellAnd his battle is now a story to tell

~Matt Merna

The Puzzle of My Home City of QuesnelThe longer I stay in this beautiful Home City of Quesnel,the more pieces of the puzzle I can connect and dwell.My � rst sighting of this decorative city was when trees lined the streets,and I captured the time when Billy Barker Days did our meets.

The comments that are awarded to the citizens who take such good care of my wonderful community,furthers the gratefulness that I have for God who blessed me with such a marvellous city.The mills announce their being with their tails of smoke in the air,which marks a sure sign of growth and blooming pro� ts to bear.

I will conclude with a means of pride and glory for my city,for the years that I have lived in Quesnel are like pieces of a puzzle that mark no pity.

PLAN NUMBER 3-2-359 GREAT ROOM BOASTS A VAULTED

CEILINGThis two-bedroom, three-level home, with decorative bracing and wooden shingles on its two gables, is sure to please anyone seeking room for a growing family or space for a mortgage-helper or in-law suite. The covered entry to the main floor is reached via a flight of stairs to the right of the double garage. From the foyer, which includes a handy bench for changing foot-wear, as well as a coat cupboard, it’s a few steps down to the great room and a few steps up to the bedrooms. The great room boasts a vaulted ceiling and a corner gas fireplace, as well as access to a sundeck, and flows seamlessly into the dining room. The kitchen area is separated from the dining room by a prep island with an eating bar. French doors open on to a covered deck.The kitchen’s L-shaped counter configu-ration promises efficiency. A pantry will provide always-needed storage, and the window over the sink has an extra-deep sill for displaying plants or collectibles.Upstairs, at the rear of the home, the mas-ter suite opens onto a private sundeck with stairs to the back garden. Boasting its own fireplace, this room will make a secluded getaway. The walk-in closet is reached through the four-piece ensuite, which fea-tures double sinks. Next to the nearby linen closet is a display niche. Also upstairs, a second bedroom is served by a three-piece bathroom adjacent to the laundry room. On the landing outside the laundry room is a computer area with room for two seats. The unfinished basement has room for two bedrooms and a den, as well as a crawl space. Plumbing for a bathroom is roughed in, and there is access to a covered patio at the back. The garage includes space for tool storage. The home measures 32 feet wide and 56 feet deep, for a total of 1,399 square feet of living space.Plans for design 3-2-359 are available for $579 (set of 5), $657 (set of 8) and $702 for a super set of 10.

Tip of the Month"Now that homes are becoming increasingly airtight, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and other noxious substances can build up in the air and pose a health risk for the occupants. Use paints and primers labelled “VOC-free” or “low emissions” to protect your health."
