Just a few kilometres south of Quesnel is Austra-lian Ranch’s Corn Maze. Several year’s ago, the Yor-ston family created the � rst corn maze on a nine-acre section close to their home. Always designed as a fun activity, they were ready to share with the public. The Corn Maze has become a North Cariboo attraction with hundreds of visitors every year.
This year, in celebration of the ranch’s 110 years of continuous operation, Bob and Lenore Yorston chose to create something special.
Planting of the maze’s corn begins in May and with the use of a rototiller they carve out the trails, which entertain visitors all season long. The 2013 maze includes the circle Z which is the ranch’s cattle brand and now part of the corn maze logo. Below the logo, the text Australian Ranch Ltd. 110 years is also inscribed. Viewed best from the cockpit of a plane, the design is still enjoyed from the ground and visitors have the added pleasure of � nding eight red barn doors containing farm related trivia ques-tions.
Much of the season, Bob and Lenore rely on the honesty of visitors and it seems to be working very well.
Open from dawn to dusk until mid-October, visitors need only to drop a toonie for each member of their party in the coin drop at the entrance to the corn maze, then enjoy.
Although they expect a de� nite code of conduct, the family still manage to create a fun environment.
“Please act like you’re visiting your grandma’s house. Be respectful, watch your language, don’t throw any corn cobs, do not come intoxicated and try to leave the corn stalks upright. We don’t want to have to chase you with a wooden spoon,” their website suggests.
As autumn settles in, the family are preparing for their corn maze � nale. The Haunted Corn Maze and Haunted House, Oct. 4, 5, 11, 12 and 13. Admission for this extravaganza is $5 each and the special events run from 7 – 9:30 p.m. They also offer a daytime event for small children and sensitive adults from 11 a.m. – 3 p.m., Oct. 6 and 13.
In addition to the spooky, they offer tractor wagon rides and families are en-couraged to roam the farm to look at the chickens, turkeys, guineas, pigs, mini horses and cows as well as the onsite concession.
This activity is not avail-able during the evening activities as this poses a safety risk.
The haunted corn maze began eight years ago and is one of the area’s premier fall family events, not a drop off of your children or teens event.
So, whether you are look-ing to enjoy a challenging, enjoyable afternoon in the corn maze or frightening your friends and family at the haunted event, now is the perfect time to visit Australian Ranch.
For full information, visit australianranch.ca.
The Australian Ranch corn maze is in perfect condition, with the corn high and the trails in great shape. Rain or shine it’s a great family fun activity. The Yorston’s are also busy with preparations for the an-nual Haunted Corn Maze and Haunted House.Karen Powell photoA special thank you to Dennis Gaetz for his aviation contribution

SHANNON STEVERObserver Reporter
To celebrate International Literacy Day, Sept. 8, Adults Learning Together (ALT) set up a booth at the Farmer’s Market to promote their program, which provides help with learner’s permits, help with forms, or even help with math for trades or with ESL programs, according to Katie Molloy, the Literacy Coordinator at the North Cariboo Aboriginal Family Program Society (or “The Long Name” as it is affectionately known), located on 324 Hoy Street (West Quesnel). Included in the festivities was a scrabble word game, and events were organized into two categories (youth and adult.)
ALT is a program pairing tutors with learners in a one-on-one environment for the purposes of enhancing literacy skills. Meetings can take place at the public library, college, or even at the learner’s or tutor’s home – the program offers � exibility by leaving time and location up to the discretion of the learning pairs. Tutors are provided with a variety of up-to-date Canadian content by the Quesnel Literacy Society, designed for learner immersion and encouraging discussion prior to readings in order to help facilitate familiarity. For example, with articles on the environment, there is a suggested conversation included, so that by the time [the learners] come to reading the word environment, the word has already been triggered.
The program also offers a well-stacked library to help with the process. But as Molloy states, “it can only function with volunteers.”
As for the volunteers, Molloy asks, “do you enjoy reading? Do you have two hours to spare to help someone enjoy reading as well?”
With support prepared for tutors, including training at the CDC Building (located at 488 McLean Street) from 9 a.m. – noon the � rst three Wednesdays in October, as well as helpful staff on hand, interested volunteers can contact either Molloy at 250-992-9160 or Quesnel Literacy co-ordinator Rebecca Beuschel at 778-414-9119.

North District Com-mander, Chief Superin-tendent Rod Booth and the Mayor of Quesnel, Mary Sjostrom, for-mally announce the appointment of S/Sgt. Steve Vrolyk to the position of Detachment Commander of Quesnel Detachment and con-gratulate him on this new role.
With more than 20 years of operational po-licing experience – the last four of which have been in Quesnel, S/Sgt Vrolyk brings a solid understanding of both policing and the com-munity he serves.
S/Sgt. Vrolyk was born and raised in South-western Ontario. After obtaining his Bachelor of Arts from the University of Toronto, Steve followed his lifelong dream of becoming a Mountie. He joined the RCMP in 1992, graduated from Depot and was transferred to Chilliwack, where he was stationed from 1993-2001.
While in Chilliwack, Steve worked in both a uniformed and plain clothes capacity, serving as a general duty investigator before transfer-ring to the Property Crime Section.
In 2001, Steve was transferred to IMPACT (Integrated Municipal Police Provincial Auto Crime Team).
In 2003, he was promoted to the rank of Corporal as a Watch Commander at the Upper
Fraser Valley Regional Detachment (Chilli-wack) where he oversaw a team of general duty police officers. In 2007, Steve and his wife, Krista sought the quality of life of-fered by life in Northern B.C. and transferred to Prince Rupert where he served for two years.
In 2009, Steve was promoted to Sergeant as the Operations NCO for Quesnel Detachment responsible for overseeing the day to day polic-ing operations where he has proudly served for the past four years.
“I feel extremely honoured and privileged to have been entrusted with serving the City of Quesnel and the surrounding communities as their Chief of Police. It is a responsibility that I do not take lightly. As the incoming Detach-ment Commander, I look forward to serving the community of Quesnel and in providing a high quality of policing service to its citizens,” Vrolyk said.
“This is a tremendous opportunity for me and my family. We have been blessed to be a
part of this amazing community for the past four years and look forward to continuing to be an active part of the community and enjoy all that it has to offer for many years to come.”
Steve and his wife, Krista, have two school-aged children.
In his spare time, Steve spends much of his time at the rink watch-ing his kids play hockey, camping, riding his motorcycle and volunteering as vice president of the Quesnel Rotary Club.
“I am a firm believer that everyone needs to give back to their community. I encourage our members to become involved in the communi-ty by volunteering in local service clubs, youth sports or other community based organiza-tions.”
Under S/Sgt Vrolyk’s leadership, the Quesnel RCMP will continue to employ crime reduction strategies including targeting prolific offenders, monitoring crime trends and developing intelligence-led strategies in order to reduce and prevent crime in our com-munity.
“My goal is to continue to build strong part-nerships with all of our community partners and citizens to ensure that Quesnel is a safe place for everyone to live, to work and to enjoy.”

Dividends: A good source of income
Looking for a way to add both income and growth potential to your investment portfolio? Consider dividend-paying stocks.
What are dividends? They’re the portion of profits companies pay out to shareholders. Typically larger, well-established companies pay dividends – usually quarterly, semi-annually or annually. Younger or smaller companies may not pay dividends because they prefer to reinvest their profits in the company to further growth.
When you invest in shares that pay dividends, you have the potential to receive a stream of income while your investment may potentially increase in value. That means dividend-paying stocks can help meet your income requirements and potentially boost your wealth – if you’re willing to take on more risk. However, keep in mind that dividends can be increased, decreased or eliminated at any point without notice.
An investment in dividend-paying stocks doesn’t mean you have to go overboard on risk. While stocks are inherently more risky than conservative, interest-generating investments, sticking to dividend-paying shares of blue chip companies can help you manage that risk.
There are more advantages to dividend investing than you might think. In addition to producing a stream of income, dividend-paying investments can be less vulnerable to rising interest rates than some other income investments. Plus, dividend payments have the potential to rise as company earnings grow, while interest payments from most investments remain static.
Dividend-paying stocks can also help reduce the overall volatility of your equity portfolio. Although past performance is not a guarantee of future results, price moves of these stocks historically have been less than those of non-dividend-paying equities. Because of their income potential, investors are less likely to sell these stocks in turbulent markets, which can temper price swings.
There’s also an income tax advantage. Dividends from Canadian corporations are eligible for the dividend tax credit, which reduces the tax you pay on income from these shares. Interest income, on the other hand, is fully taxable. And if shares increase in value there are also capital gains, which receive preferential tax treatment. For more information, please consult your tax professional.
How do you pick suitable dividend-paying stocks? Consider investing in companies that are capable of generating an uninterrupted stream of dividends, perhaps with the potential of increases down the road. Here are some possibilities to consider:
• Large, blue chip companies with good cash flow and profit histories
• Companies that have a solid record of paying uninterrupted dividends
• Companies that have consistently raised their dividends
However, never invest in a company simply because it offers a good dividend. The longevity of that dividend and the health of the share price can depend upon whether the business is sound and has good prospects for the future.
To get a better understanding of how dividend-paying stocks could help with your income needs, speak with your financial advisor. He or she can help assess not only the companies offering dividend-paying stocks but also how they may fit into your risk tolerance and overall portfolio objectives.

September 22 - 28, 2013ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20Aries, someone whose opinion matters to you may disagree with you on an important point. Use your powers of persuasion, and both of you will be better for it.
TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21Take your upbeat attitude to new heights this week, Taurus. New challenges will emerge in the coming weeks, so find new inspiration and things will go smoothly.
GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21Gemini, keep your head on straight over the next week, which figures to be hectic. Cool heads always prevail, and your calm approach will be noticed by others.
CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22Cancer, your ingenuity is treasured among the people closest to you, but those who do not know you may be unfamiliar with the tricks you have up your sleeve. Take time to show them.
LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23Leo, someone wants to take your relationship to another level, so let this person know you are on the same page. Otherwise, you both may be floundering around for some time.
VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22Virgo, good news awaits on the job this week, even if it is totally unexpected. Nonetheless, it can be exciting to know that someone is watching out for you.
LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23Libra, you may be excited about an upcoming event or getaway, but don’t let your anticipation get the best of you. Remember, you do need to plan and pack.
SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22Scorpio, embrace a challenge that presents itself this week. No matter the scale of the challenge, you will soon find you’re up to it, and so will those around you.
SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21Sagittarius, be open to new experiences, as you do not know when surprises are going to come around the bend. This week may prove to be a real eye-opener.
CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20It’s time to ditch any bad habits that have been hold-ing you back, Capricorn. Set a new course, with new goals, and those old habits will soon be an after-thought.
AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18A heightened sense of urgency may have you jumping into a situation, Aquarius. But give this situation the careful consideration it deserves. Keep your eyes on the future.
PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20Pisces, now is the time to redirect some of your pro-fessional ambitions to your personal life. It’s an effort worth making.

NEWS
The CBC aired a documentary called Oasis on TV.
As I watched it, I felt sad and worried at the same time.
The show dealt with fresh water and what has been done to preserve it and what is left.
The little that is left is still squandered while one third of the world population is already drinking polluted water or have no or very little water.
Rivers and lakes are drying up at an alarming rate and it will not be too long before it is impossible to live in many places that now are still heavily populated.
The reason is that even the ground water is disappearing at a faster rate than was expected.
California is one of the places that will be a desert in a about 10 – 15 years and Las Vegas does not even have that long before it will disappear
in the desert sand.In northern B.C., gas is
produced by fracking, a process that uses a lot of fresh water that, combined with poisonous chemicals, is pumped under high pressure deep underground and forces the gas out.
Part of this gas goes to the tar sands, part is exported and part comes to us at a high price both financially and environmentally.
The area where precious groundwater is used for fracking in Northern B.C. is very large.
Mr. Harper thinks this is okay and good for the economy and Christy Clark
our premier is looking at it as a financial boon. In a leaked secret document, Mr. Harper’s office calls environmentalists and other people like media and scientists enemies.
I thought we lived in a democratic country where freedom of expression or having a different opinion is a necessity to maintain democracy.
So millions of Canadians who think different than Mr. Harper are enemies of Mr. Harper’s cabinet?
It is starting to look like we are dealing with Mr. Harper’s regime instead of a democracy.
I don’t like regimes because I lived five years under the regime of a man with a funny black mustache who yelled sieg heil a lot and killed a lot of people.
I have come to the solid conclusion that Mr Harper does not care about people or the environment.
A man who thinks it is
okay to sell asbestos to third world countries where people unload the stuff standing in their bare feet and throwing it up with their bare hands.
In India where most asbestos goes, the asbestos is used to replace perfectly good tile roofs for asbestos roofs that let more heat in and poisons people.
Thank you for stuffing our pockets India and please have mercy on the people who face a miserable death.
A man who killed the Kyoto Accord, who picks on veterans, seniors, the disabled and many public services is not a man I can respect.
I know I am definitely not in Mr. Harpers good book because I have been president of an environmental group and I have openly expressed my dislike for this man, but I don’t care.

Friday, September 20, 2013 Quesnel Cariboo ObserverA8 www.quesnelobserver.com
The first time I met my friend Mike Harvey he was
homeless.He wasn’t living out of
his car, or so sick that he wanted to die anymore, but he was still very much what society would consider ‘on the skids.’
It was at a local soup kitchen where we first spoke a year and a half ago. I was on location at the Kelowna Gospel Mission covering a fundraising competition between local chefs for Shaw TV and he was working as the dishwasher and living there as well.
I saw him and many of the mission’s residents that week, as well as the hungry people who came in for a hot, healthy meal. It was both heartbreaking to see people needing the help and heartwarming to witness them getting it. In so many countries around the world this wouldn’t happen.
Once my week of covering that story was over, Mike and I exchanged email addresses and vowed to stay in touch.
I went back to my life with a newfound gratitude for the roof over my head and the love of my family and he continued his journey
of self-healing and the rebuilding of his life.
As depressed as he was when he first arrived at the mission, he wasn’t content doing nothing and accepted a volunteer position working as their dishwasher.
For about nine months he worked in the kitchen all day, seven days a week, while starting up a “Law of Attraction” support group that promotes emitting positive energy to attract more of the same.
“Mental attitude controls our thought patterns,” he said.
“And I needed to change mine.”
He also needed to change his eating habits and had accomplished that.
Years prior, Mike had contracted Lyme disease, which damaged his brain and left him feeling crazy. Unable to work for a long period of time and living
alone in his car in the U.S., his daughter eventually kidnapped him and brought him back home to Canada.
“I’m lucky she did that,” he said.
“At that point I wanted to die.”
Extremely sick, and initially not knowing the reason, Mike had also developed an extreme sensitivity to MSG, which he found to be in almost everything.
“It wasn’t until I started making juice with organic produce that I started to feel better,” he said.
He also discovered he had lead poisoning, which he believes he got from the drinking water where he grew up.
Ridding himself of that allowed him to improve his physical state and the work he was doing on his mental health increased his possibilities.
He was offered a job at a restaurant, affording him the ability to move out of the shelter. He later applied his skills working at Home Depot and then started up his own handyman and contracting business in Calgary, where he had moved.
I had coffee with Mike this week while he was in town for his daughter’s wedding.
He had just come from a volunteer shift at the Kelowna Gospel Mission where he visited some of his old “inmates” as he jokingly calls them.
“I think all these shelters should offer some kind of ‘Law of Attraction’ program,” he said.
“And educate people on the chemicals they’re probably consuming. It could change their lives like it did for me.”
People become homeless for a variety of reasons and they all have a story to tell.
Thank goodness for shelters and food banks and all the wonderful people in the community who donate time, money or food.
And thank goodness for someone like Mike Harvey, brave to share his experience. He’s a good reminder of how easy it can be to lose everything, and how important it is for us to help each other when needed. To contact Mike visit: Call4Mike.ca

On A Brighter NoteLori Welbourne
Hand-free no better
Should phoning and texting while driving carry the same penalties as drunk driving?
That was the topic of the August 25 episode of CBC Radio’s Cross Coun-try Checkup. Guest host, Ted Blades, introduced the topic with the statistic that distracted driving, such as talk-ing on phones and texting, has become the No. 1 cause of highway deaths in Nova Scotia and Saskatchewan. It is No. 2 in Ontario, behind speeding but ahead of drunk driving.Laws prohibiting hand held but al-
lowing hands free cell phone use were exposed as problematic. According to guest Jeff Walker, the National Vice President of Public Affairs for the Ca-nadian Automobile Association (CAA), the data says that hands free cell phone use, whether voice to text or talking, is just as bad and may be worse than having the cell phone in your hands.We get frustrated and angry every
time we think about British Columbia’s laws that prohibit hand held but im-plicitly endorse hands free cell phone use. Perhaps our law makers were misin-
formed about the dangers of distracted driving when we brought in the law. As the statistics for distracted driving injuries and deaths climb, how can we not yet have woken up to the truth and changed the law to prohibit cell phone use while driving altogether? Perhaps politicians don’t like to admit when they’re wrong, particularly after having caused a mass purchase of hands-free cell phone technology.We forgive you for being wrong.
Please, just do what’s right. How many hundreds of millions, perhaps billions, of tax dollars and other costs to British Columbians need to be wast-ed in emergency services, medical care, economic and other losses, before we start taking steps to solve this growing problem?Given our collective ignorance about
the dangers of cell phone use while driving, it’s fuelled by a lack of le-gal prohibition when that behaviour is done hands free. Once we learn about how dangerous the behaviour is, though, I would argue that the sober choice to engage in a dangerous driv-ing behaviour is even more morally reprehensible than making the alcohol impaired choice of driving drunk.

Editor:Finally another voice.Thank you Heide
Krause, I feel you hit the nail on the head when you say that mayor and council are sore losers.
I have said time and time again they are not listening to the taxpayer, I am not for the Multi-Centre. The time has passed, let us move on.
I don’t feel city staff are not helpful as those they answer to, mayor and council, they forget we pay their salary. I have joined the ranks of the apathy group. I was
tired of sounding like a voice in the wilderness.
I am glad someone has taken up the slack. Maybe, just maybe one day our elected (not anointed) officials will actually acknowledge input from and listen to the taxpayer.
I just wish more people like Heide would start questioning our so called representatives on council.

Editor:I am writing you as I’m
hoping perhaps you or one of your readers could give me some information. It concerns my aunt and uncle, who lived in Quesnel years ago.
My uncle was Alex Sahonavitch and my aunt was Hazel Sahonavitch. Aunt Hazel’s maiden name was Ridley. She had two sisters (both deceased now) Ruby Marquirite and Bertha Ann. Ruby was my mother – first married name was Felton and her second married name was Fraser. My mom
lived in Chilliwack, B.C. Aunty Bertha’s married name was Boise. My Aunt Hazel and Uncle Alex started the Cariboo Digest, and it was changed to North West Digest (or visa versa.) It’s now called BC Outdoors. My aunt did all the illustrations while my uncle wrote the articles.
Now, I’m 73 years of age myself, so I really think maybe there’s no old timers that would remember my aunt and uncle, but perhaps there’s some youngsters out there that may remember they had a daughter Ann (don’t know if
she spelled her name with an “e” or not.)
My question is would anyone in Quesnel know a young girl by her name – Ann Sahonavitch?
I have an old photo of her sitting in front of a fireplace with a cocker spaniel dog. A black and white photo. Ann is about 5 – 7 years old in the photo.
Any and all responses would be greatly appreciated.

two mile flat residents adopt local services Act
“In a turbulent meeting, held at the Canadian Legion rec-room last night, residents of the Two Mile Flat Area decided to proceed with a fire protection agreement with the Town of Quesnel under the Local Services Act rather than the Water Improvement District Plan. The stormy gathering, which saw charges and counter-charges hurled from the chair and from the floor, passed a motion of non-confidence in the group’s chairman Richard Gook, and elected Ray McGregor to head the committee. Other members are A. Harvey and C. Leonard, who called the meeting. Mr. Gook was called upon to explain why he had written the Department of Municipal Affairs in Victoria asking that fire protection be withheld under the proposal made by the other committee members. Mr. Gook replied that 92% of the residents had signed a petition favouring the Improvement District Plan and that this was what he had been working toward.”

ANNIE GALLANTObserver Reporter
In her book Fancy Feet, Heidi Cave chronicles a journey few have traveled – the road to hell and back.
After a car crash in the Lower Mainland, which killed her best friend Betty and left Heidi battling life-threatening injuries, the brave 23-year-old eventually triumphed over catastrophic injuries, severe mental anguish and challenging rehabilitation.
The collision, where a reckless driver going more than 100km/hour
crashed into Heidi’s vehicle, sent the car careening down an embankment coming to rest on a roof, killing Betty instantly and leaving Heidi injured. It was the ensuing fire which burned 52 per cent of her body that created an incredibly difficult recovery which sent the young woman on a different life path.
Written by Heidi, Fancy Feet takes the reader from the moment she remembers (she still has no recollection of the accident) – the moment she awakens from a two-week coma.
Her memories of this time are vivid, the
pain, the treatments, the trauma, the life-altering decisions beginning with her commitment to live, to the recovery of her new normal life.
Through it all, Heidi comes to terms with her vulnerability, exposure to necessary medical indignities and the excruciating long recovery, including adjusting to prosthetic feet and lower legs.
However, this is not a story of depression and hopelessness, it’s truly a story of survival, discovery, growth and hope for her future.
Through it all, Heidi relied on the support of loving,
devoted family, friends and the man who would become her life partner, Scott Cave. Together they parent two children and Heidi has forged a career providing inspirational and motivational seminars.
Scott is grandson to local pioneers Phillip Warden, Sr. and Toby Cave.
This book was riveting. Long past the initial shocking story, Heidi writes with a passion and skill that keeps the reader turning page after page, eager to find out what happens next to this remarkable young woman.
Published by Behler Publications, more information about the author’s experiences and the book Fancy Feet is available at the author’s website heidicave.com.
The book is also available through Amazon.ca or Amazon.com and locally at Caryall Books.
From horrific to hopeTransforming tragedy to inspirational
Heidi Cave chooses life after an accident
strips her of all that was familiar.

COMMUNITY
The hustle and bus-tle of back to school is starting and with it comes more traffic on our roads.
Baker Creek En-hancement Society is encouraging everyone to walk, bike, or car-pool to school.
It’s fun, free and reduces harmful particulate matter in the air.
Still have to drive? No problem.
• Walk to lunch in-stead of driving (your waistline will thank-you too!)
• Turn off engine when picking the kids up from school.
• Go into a business, rather than using the drive-through.
We can all do our share for cleaner air. Please contact 250-992-5833 or [email protected] for more information.

On Aug. 26, 2013, I walked from Quesnel to
Barkerville, starting at the Gold Pan at the bottom of airport hill.
What made this trip seem impossible was I have spent many years � ghting liver disease and the last few years � ghting colon cancer. When I got the all clear from my doctors, I decided to celebrate this victory and to prove to myself it was really gone. I was going to walk to Barkerville.
I’m sure some people thought I may have set the bar too high, seeing that I’m already 61 years old.
My family was behind me all the way but when you are � ghting this relentless disease, you are alone and somewhere deep inside you have to � nd the strength and desire and will to overcome this terrible enemy. You need hope and some never get the
chance.The � rst day, I walked
to the other side of the Mexican Hill. My daughter came to check on me and best of all brought me a Tim Horton’s coffee. My wife picked me up and we marked the spot with a ribbon and slept at Cottonwood House. Some people don’t know you can rent cabins there. It was more than reasonable and very clean. In the morning, we set off again from where we had stopped the previous day. Half way through the day a car stopped on the side of the road. It was a family friend who was also an ambulance attendant here in town. She had heard from my daughter what I was trying to accomplish and came to check on me. She brought me a Tim Horton’s coffee.
As I walked, people waved, some honked. A lady from Wells offered
me a ride but that would have defeated my intention of walking to Barkerville, I explained and sent her on her way with thanks. I � nished the second day at the 2100 Road, about half way down Devil’s Canyon. My wife picked me up and we slept at Cottonwood House that night. The next day I walked into Wells and my daughter came to check on me and, you guessed it, brought me a Tim Horton’s coffee. By now my knees and feet were sore. I think sometimes it’s easier to walk up hill than downhill. I was almost ready to quit, thinking to myself, Wells is good enough. Then I saw them, signs made by my grandchildren and family, pounded into the side of road “Go Grandpa Go”, “We Love You”, “We are so proud of you”. It made my heart swell. This gave me the push I needed to � nish my journey and
when I got to Barkerville, my two daughters put a sign that said “You Made It” and crepe ribbon for me to cross. Barkerville staff found out what I had done and they presented me a book about Barkerville, gave us free entrance and a stagecoach ride. Thank-you to the staff at Barkerville for their generosity. It was a perfect ending.
So why did you do it? So many people have asked
me. This week many places are celebrating Terry Fox’s journey. Every May, my family and I take part in the Quesnel Relay for Life. I felt that my journey might bring hope and I felt that it was appropriate to show folks that cancer can be beaten. The C word is hard to deal with but there are many people who are there to help us � ght this insidious enemy.
They are in your corner
all the way.To those on the second
� oor of our hospital – thank you for all your help. To the doctors – thank you.
And if you think you are having a bad day, go up to the second � oor and see such courage that I can never describe and a zest for life that I still can’t put into words.
Most of us know someone who has been affected by cancer. Something happens when you come face to face with your own mortality that changes you.
Thank you to all my friends and family for their prayers on my behalf. Even as I write this, another friend of ours succumbs to this disease.
My word of encouragement to all that are facing this enemy, remember, you are not alone.

Saturday, Sept. 14 dawned sunny and warm, a great day for the B.C. Thanksgiving Food Drive.
With the help of 20 families and about 250 hours of work, 8,000 pounds of food was brought in to the Quensel Food Bank, more than double last year’s amount.
The Salvation Army is incredibly grateful to everyone who donated to the food bank.
About 2,400 homes were col-lected from, more than 60 per cent higher than last year; next year, organizers would like to get to more areas around Quesnel. If anyone would like to help with a route next year and volunteer 4 – 5 hours, get a hold of Graeme Armstrong, 250-92501808.

LIFESTYLES
This bridge now known as the John-ston subdivision
bridge, collapsed on Sunday evening June13, 1954.
The south section of the bridge gave way as a heavy Public Works truck haul-ing a 40-ton rock crusher unit started across. The 70-foot section settled in a sharp V, dropping the truck and cargo 20 feet to the shore of the river. Driver Frank Herrod scrambled up the steeply sloping deck and ran to safety on the north shore as shattered timbers were still setting. Collapse of the bridge halted all Cariboo Highway traf� c through Quesnel, cut off long-distance phone facilities and snapped the water main feeding residents in Johnston sub-division. District engineer E.W. Hall was on scene less than � ve
minutes after the span went down and within a half hour he had a crew gathered and was start-ing on a � ll which would provide motor vehicle access to the P.G.E. bridge, now serving as emergency crossing. Until the rail bridge was decked to allow motor travel, automobiles were re-routed by way
of Alexandria Ferry. Greyhound bus-ses transferred their passengers at that point, bring them north on a bus moved south from Quesnel over the Fraser road on the west shore. Monday morning the P.G.E. crew also joined in the emergency job, dumping gravel for a � ll on the south shore at the Patchett mill site and spiking heavy planking on the bridge as fast as it was delivered. By Monday evening approximately 24 hours after
the highway bridge went out, traf� c was again � owing over the river. Meanwhile village workmen had effected emergency repairs to the damaged water main and outside telephone communications had been restored.
The Quesnel River bridge was repaired and back in service in just over three weeks time after the collapse on June 13,1954 this opened the highway to full traf� c.
This 1927 King Truss bridge was actu-ally the third bridge crossing the river at this point. The � rst bridge was built in 1875 here, it was washed out the same year. The second bridge was built at the same spot that year and lasted until the King truss bridge was built. In 1974 the current bridge, built with steel beams and open deck grating, was built.

Do you recognize these soldiers?
These two framed pictures of First World War soldiers were donated to the Salvation Army as part of an
estate liquidation. One of the volunteers purchased them last fall and tried to research them but with no names, no identification, not even rank, she passed
them on to Legion director Al Onischak who is at-tempting to locate anyone who might have informa-
tion. If you have any details that might help or would like to have a better look at the photos, visit the

CCBAC supports log home productionThe manufacture of
log and timber homes has been a key indus-try in the Cariboo Chilcotin for many years and recently the Cariboo Chil-cotin Beetle Action Coalition (CCBAC) has been proud to support the indus-try in research and marketing initiatives that address industry issues that are barri-ers to penetrating new markets.
The manufacture of log and timber homes is important to the Cariboo Chilcotin. The industry adds value to our forest in-dustry and positively impacts the overall economy of the area.
These homes are in demand throughout the world, with their high quality, beauty and excellent crafts-manship.
The small environ-mental footprint com-pared to traditional building methods holds them in high re-gard in the burgeon-ing green economy.
In order to ensure these homes can expand their market presence locally and beyond, it is critical that they are easily able to meet current and future building
code standards world-wide.
CCBAC is proud to have been able to support the research required to prove the energy efficiency of log and timber homes.
By testing varying methods of log home construction for en-ergy consumption and comparing the results to traditional building methods it is hoped that these structures will be soon be rec-ognized as a certified and approved product in the building codes
of most, if not all, jurisdictions.
This recognition will also be an important marketing tool, as en-ergy consumption is a key factor for people considering a log or timber frame home.
An effective mar-keting strategy is a key element of this project and is critical to the ongoing success and growth of this industry.
Marketing surveys have been conducted and strategies are being developed to ensure log and timber
home manufacturers can operate success-fully now as well as plan for future mar-ket trends.
As market condi-tions improve in the United States, we are confident that we will see a resurgence of this industry in the region.
We encourage you to visit; http://www.bclogandtimberbuild-ers.com/ and learn more about the indus-try that is so much a part of our history and our culture.
The focus of
CCBAC is on eco-nomic diversification, education and social sustainability and this project is an excellent example of what can be done when stake-holders work together for a common cause.
CCBAC was pleased to work with the Pine Beetle Epidemic Response Branch of the Ministry of Jobs, Tourism and Skills Training, the BC Log and Timber Building Industry Association, Western Economic Diversification and the other beetle action
coalitions to ensure the success of this project.
Other examples of CCBAC supported projects in the region include The Gavin Lake Trail project; the “Ride the Cariboo” Mountain Bike Proj-ect and “Art is Your Business” workshops.
The Gavin Lake Project was spear-headed by the Gavin Lake Forest Education Centre and provides acces-sible trails so that locals and visitors can enjoy the outdoors,
even with a physical disability; the “Ride the Cariboo” project is led by the Cariboo Mountain Bike Con-sortium and promotes the mountain biking experience in Cariboo communities and is already proving to be a significant draw for tourism; and the “Art is Your Busi-ness” workshops led by Island Mountain Arts provided area artists with the tools they need if they wish to create an income from their passion.
The manufacture of log and timber homes has been a key industry in
the Cariboo Chilcotin for many years.

Forest trivia – Did you know...?
How to celebrate forestry weekDuring National Forest
Week (NFW), Canadians are invited to learn more about our forest legacy and to raise awareness about this valuable and renewable resource.
Forests are fundamental to our economy, culture, history and future.
Communities, families and individuals of both rural and urban settings are linked to our forests –their health is our health.
Although special activities are promoted across Canada, National Forest Week remains first and foremost a challenge to individual Canadians to learn more about their forest heritage and support greater recognition of this valuable resource.
The theme of this year’s National Forest Week is The Greenest Work Force. The Canadian Forestry Association and Canadian
Institute of Forestry are proud to be partnered with the Forest Products Association of Canada’s new program TheGreenestWorkForce.
This program, in conjunction with this year’s NFW theme, is intended to highlight the important work of forest practitioners and to promote the value in choosing forestry as a career.
New and exciting opportunities for growth and innovation within Canada’s forestry sector offer something for everyone.
Future forestry leaders can live their dream of working where their passion lies – in the woods.
Remember: forests are crucial to the ecological, economic and social health of communities across Canada.
How to Participate in National Forest Week
• learn about organizations
that demonstrate or help others with sustainable forest management
• tour a forest sector industry or processing site
• learn about the positive and negative effects of forest fires
• contact a provincial forestry association for teaching materials
• get involved with your local CIF/IFC section
• arrange a tree planting (www.treecanada.org, National Tree Planting Day is Sept. 25)
• take a walk in woods nearby and get to know your forest—listen to birds; identify different plants; enjoy being in nature
• care for a newly planted or neglected tree and study its species
• identify all the things at home or school that are made of wood
With forestry comes logging trucks. Here are some tips for driving on resource roads:
• Expect large industrial ve-hicles that need more space and time to stop.
• Reduce speed, never exceed 80 km/hour and drive accord-ing to road conditions and vis-ibility.
• Yield to industrial traffic.• Drive with your lights on.• Stop only in safe visible lo-
cations.• Observe and obey road
signs.• Always have an emergency
plan and kit, extra food, cloth-ing and water.
• Don’t drink and drive.• Stay alert! Focus on driv-
ing.• Wear your seatbelt.“Every day needs to be a safe
driving day on all our roads. My best advice to anyone, whether driving for business or pleasure, is never get in a vehicle to drive unless you are well-rested, prepared for the trip and ready to give 100 per ent of your focus and attention to the road,” said Rick Wal-ters, Director Transportation, BCFSC.
About BCFSC:The British Columbia Forest
Safety Council was created in
September 2004 as a not-for-profit society dedicated to pro-moting forest safety in the for-est industry. The organization provides training, informa-tion, guidance, safety advisor advocacy, safety reviews and audits to industry. The focus is on preventing fatalities and injuries by helping all industry participants implement best practice safety performance in every forest harvesting job. This covers silviculture ac-tivities and timber falling, to machine operators, log truck drivers, heli-logging opera-tions, water haulers and more. Unsafe is Unacceptable.

Big actions results in big injuriesMany Quesnel motocross
racers attended BCMA's race in Williams Lake this past weekend.
With only three races left in the season, racers from all skill levels put their best effort forward.
Beginners, Juniors, to Vet Master's turned up the heat in the all ready 30 degree weather making it one of the most fast and furious races of the season.
Along with the fast pace came many accidents, causing the most injuries on a single day of racing.
Williams Lake emergency room was very busy after at least five separate incidents.
Jr A/Mx2 saw the worst pile up five seconds into the race, with seven bikes tangling after the first corner, causing the race to be red flagged.
Once the track was cleared of injured riders and broken bikes, they restarted the race.
Top rider # 671 Jackson Nickolet went back out despite suffering some injuries. He came back to take second overall on Sunday in Jr. A class.
Friends on and off the track,
Nickolet and #82 Colton Shepherd put on an exciting race in the Schoolboy class, at times side by side in the air, flying over the 90 ft jump while battling for points to earn top positions as the season is nearing the end.
For Nickolet it was a sweet birthday victory taking first place both Saturday and Sunday in Schoolboy.
Shepherd took a third place trophy overall in Schoolboy and a third place trophy in Jr.A/Mx3.
Supermini racer's Austin
Watson and Dayne Cutrell went fast and furious on their 85 cc's with # 63 Watson finishing second on Sunday and #55 Cutrell taking a trip to the emergency room.
Coming around a corner at the top of the hill just after the step up, Catrell went down with several other riders resulting in a broken arm.
Catrell will also be sadly missed amongst the Quesnel rider's along with Jordy Davis also on leave due to an injury.
Scott Davis, Brian Watson, Haiden Watson, Jordan Brears,
Jared Lucus and others were amongst the Quesnel racers who rode successful races in Williams Lake, however, for many other racers from out of town, the weekend also ended with trips to the emergency room, resulting in some minor and more serious injuries.
The weekend of Sept. 21 – 22, BCMA racing will be hosted in Prince George for their second to last race of the season with the last race to follow on Sept. 28 and 29 in Ashcroft.

B.C. Lions salute amateur football
A pack of excited football players jetted south last weekend to show off their skills to a CFL-sized crowd at BC Stadium.
The pee wee Cariboo Bombers joined their counterparts from P.G. and Vanderhoof to take on a team from the Cowichan Valley in a scrimmage during the half time for the B.C. Lions/Montreal Alouettes.
The Bombers were allowed onto the field during warm up to get autographs and chat with the professionals.
While the pee wees were scrimmaging on the big field, the atoms were winning their second game against Prince George.
The atoms took charge of the game, winning it handily, at 13-0.
Celebration of Football in QuesnelIt’s been quite a start for the Cariboo Bombers and
they, along with the Correlieu Clan football team, hope to celebrate it with the whole community this Saturday.
All three teams will be playing games at Cariboo field,.
This will mark the first home game for the pee wee and atom Cariboo Bombers and a rare treat for the Clan.
“We’re thrilled to be hosting our first regular season home game in many years,” Clan coach Jeff Morris said.
Games start at 10 a.m. for peewee, 1:30 p.m. for Atom and 2:45 for Correlieu vs. PGSS.

In record Cariboo Mountain temperatures, last weekend, 60 participants from 16 cities tromped the skyline in the seventh Annual 7 Summits Bike and Hike Challenge.
This 60 km event covers seven mountains in seven stages, with more than seven thousand feet of elevation gain in just one day. The event starts on the streets of Barkerville Historic Town in the North Cariboo Mountains, near Quesnel. Participants finally end their day, as much as 12 self-propelled hours later, in the picturesque town of Wells to celebrate their accomplishment.
This Cariboo Mountain event is notable for the challenging mountain weather conditions of the North Cariboo in Fall. However, the challenge this year was in keeping hydrated in temperatures in the high 20s while hiking or biking uphill.
With more than 40 km of biking and more than 20 km of hiking, this event was accomplished this year with an average time of more than nine hours from start to finish.
Although some may ask, “Why do it?”, this unique event challenges individuals to push their personal limits in a social and non-competitive environment that combines beautiful
hikes in the North Cariboo alpine with a festive atmosphere.
With more than 20 women registered, including two women from Prince George who ran the entire distance without bikes, the event has wide appeal. 55 people completed the entire route. Event organizer Dave Jorgenson was thrilled by the results.
“Everyone commented on how happy this event makes them feel,” he said.
“Here's our ultimate goal: to get people to experience the mountains, acknowledge and respect our alpine treasures, connect
with the history and have a great day! Clearly it's working.”
Peter Findlay, of Kamloops, improved on his first place finish time by another 10 minutes this year, reducing the 60 km event to a 5 hour and 3 minute course. Stephan Widmer, of Prince George followed close, a mere 10 minutes behind.
However, the perpetual trophy for this event goes, not to the fastest, but the 'Most Average' Time. At 9 hours and 6 minutes, Matt White of North Vancouver was immortalized on the perpetual trophy for exemplifying the spirit of enjoyment of the mountains. In
addition, being the seventh 7 Summits a special pottery piece was commissioned from artist Joan Beck, of Williams Lake, for all seven participants who were closest to the 'Most Average Time' this year.
Noted for its quirky style, this event draws some of the top trail athletes from around British Columbia, as well as a variety of participants from every region of the province who are attracted by its raw beauty, inclusive style and relaxed and communal atmosphere.
The7 Summits Bike and Hike Challenge was created at the Bear’s
Paw Café in Wells and is sponsored by a variety of local businesses and supported by a cadre of dedicated volunteers.
The entry fee includes a hot lunch, prizes, unique pottery participant awards and more.
This event is the recipient of an 'Environmental Stewardship Award' from the Wilderness Tourism Association. All the profits from entry fees go to support the Friends of Barkerville and the Cariboo Goldfields, whose hard work has helped to preserve the many historic trails on which we are privileged to travel.

It was nip and tuck if the H2O in rink 1 would be in a liquid or solid state for the start of the FHL’s 20th season and
despite most of the players looking like they were skating in quicksand, Bear out lasted BCS for the 2-0 victory.
Scoring what proved to be the winner on a scramble was Brody (Hands of Silk) Neighbour, who also had a breakaway attempt thwarted as he and Doug (Big) Mack peppered their favourite Mike in the BCS cage.
With all four FHL net minders sharing the same name, it may get confusing at times, but this week’s ‘Mike of the Match’ was Mike (Arrow) Smith, who earned the shutout in his FHL debut, as he stopped all of the rubber BCS shot at him thanks to a style reminiscent of a young Dominic Hasek.
Rounding out the scoring for Bear was Brian (The Bull) Inwood, who blasted a shot into the empty net from just inside the Blue Collar blue line as the clock slowly wound down.
The other contest saw plenty of scoring as Fraser River jumped out to a 6-4 half time lead that they nursed to a 7-4 victory over the Builders.
Savouring a chance to play with new line mates was Kevin (Nightrider) Hesslegrave, who scored the hat trick and assisted on a pair, as he and (Sugar) Shane Baker, who scored once and had three assists, enjoyed a chemistry that should make their wives take note.
Also having fine games were the Boudreau boys as (Gentle) Glen scored once and added a helper with (Mad) Mark chipping in a pair of assists. Replying for the Builders was Lee (New Skates) Naeth, who scored twice and added a helper as Todd (The Body) Gryschuk tapped one in and assisted on Les (Knuckles) Nylen’s first FHL marker.
With this being the 20th anniversary season of the FHL, each week we will feature a “Blast from the Past” that occurred on the same week in the previous 19 seasons.
This week, Season 2 (1995) saw Brian (Kitkat) Nielson score a hat trick as Garry (Hulkster) Horley, Rick (The Wizard) Izzard and Brad (La, La, La) Lavigne all scored a pair of highlight reel goals.

Born April 16, 1925, Gord passed away on August 29, 2013 at the New Denver Pavillion.He is survived by his wife of 64½ years Elizabeth (Betty), son Doug (Holly) of Quesnel, daughter Penny (Mike) of Nanaimo, sons Blair of Kelowna, Stuart (Diane) of Silverton and daughter Cindy (Walt) Osip of Quesnel. He is also survived by 14 grandchildren, 11 great-grandchildren, sisters Mary (Dave), June (Kent) and brothers Ab and George (Karen). He was predeceased by sisters Margaret and Frances.
Gord was born and raised in Silverton where he raised his family and worked his whole life. He brightened everyone’s day with his big smile and twinkling blue eyes. Let’s not forget his stuttering humour. He knew everyone and treated
all as his friend with never a negative word to say about anyone.
If you don’t remember Gord as the guy with a pipe in his mouth driving the Esso fuel truck with Scottie dog in the passenger seat, then you remember him, again with the pipe, driving the school bus also with Scottie at his side.
Gord had nicknames for everyone and was never short of rhymes and riddles. Right to the end he was still trying to smile and to make us smile. He will be so missed by us all.
Special thank-you to Dr. Burkholder and Dr. Meiger and the nursing staff . Thank you to the New Denver Hospice Society. Your presence, compassion and support helped dad and our family in ways we can’t fi nd words for.
Dad was able to be at home these last 3 years with the help and wonderful support of Lara and Ann of Community Home Support Services. Thank you Theresa, Eva, Candace, Lora-lee and all who came into Mom’s and Dad’s home.
There will be no service. Dad’s request was for donations in his memory to BC Children’s Hospital Foundation, 938 West 28th Avenue, Vancouver BC V5Z 4H4, of which mom and dad have been life-long supporters.
