It’s official.Tuesday the North
Cariboo Joint Planning Committee awarded Vic Van Isle Construction (VVI) the West Fraser Arena contract.
The selection of the Kelowna based company was based on a range of criteria including their fee proposal, work plan and schedule, experience of personnel assigned to the project, and their use of local trades. VVI proposes an aggressive schedule that anticipates construction to start in the early spring of 2016, with substantial completion of the new building anticipated as early as the spring of 2017. VVI will utilize a significant number of local trades in the project
and will be using a local contractor as their site superintendent.
The committee reviewed the total estimated project costs at the January 26 meeting and set a budget ceiling of $20.6 million, which will include all construction, architectural design, project management and site development costs. Staff will be working with VVI and the project manager to bring the project costs down below this maximum ceiling without significantly diminishing the functionality and the utilization of this new community asset. The decisions from the North Cariboo Joint Committee will now go to the Cariboo Regional District (CRD) Board of Directors
meeting February 10 for final endorsement.
Price inflation for the project is a result of the combination of a significantly depressed Canadian dollar and that the steel and the major mechanical components for the arena need to be sourced from the United States. The bid price reflects significant cost savings made by the Committee to the original concept design. If the Committee had not made these changes prior to the Request for Proposal process, the fee proposal would have been substantially higher.
“There are no incremental tax implications for sub-regional recreation taxpayers as a result
of this decision and no reduction in funding for other North Cariboo Recreation and Parks programs and services,” Committee Co-Chair, Mayor Bob Simpson said.
“The project will be completed within the $7.5 million borrowing and taxation authority obtained through the 2014 referendum.” Simpson also notes that the incremental costs will be covered by capital reserves within the North Cariboo Recreation and Parks budget.
“The Committee believes that delaying or re-designing the project will not result in any gains,” Committee Co-Chair, Electoral Area B Director Jerry Bruce added.
“It will only result in a diminished project for the same or even greater cost.”
“The CRD and the City of Quesnel are deeply disappointed that there is still no federal contribution toward this critical recreation amenity,” Simpson said, noting that the CRD’s submission to the Federal Gas Tax Strategic Priorities Fund for $6 million was unsuccessful.
“We are committed to keeping this project on track, on time, and on budget,” Bruce said.
“While the project cost is higher than anticipated, it will not result in a taxation increase. We can look forward to seeing this exciting community project under

RYAN GRAHAMObserver Reporter
Mount Polley Mine officials delivered a presentation last week at the Best Western hotel with sights set on returning to full time operations.
During the meeting they talked about how they would go about their plan moving forward. Mount Polley project engineer Luke Moger said they submitted the application in November of 2015, so they can return to full operations but need authorization.
“We have to get a joint authorization from the Ministry of Energy and Mines as well as the Ministry of Environment and they both have different responsibilities,” Moger said.
“They both have different acts that they regulate under, so the mines act is for the onsite activities at Mount Polley and the and the environmental management act is for the protection of the environment offsite as well as onsite.”
Onsite activities involve the physical mining and the consideration of the operation, which they focused on during the meeting. The
focal point of the presentation was on water and tailings management and the considerations for the site going to closure in the future.
Moger said the water management proposal talked about the discharge from the site and how they would deal with a situation if one arose.
“With the mine plan we proposed we talked about how we would mange water onsite,” Moger said.
“We have a discharge from site and the water offsite we have a different set of permits that regulate that. It’s showing how we’re going to manage the water under this proposed operation to make sure that we’re not creating a situation that’s not going to be handled.”
Currently they are operating on a one year restricted permit, granted in July 2015, but it came with conditions. They were limited with the amount of ore they could process, which was 4,000,000 tons that will be reached in April.
Officals also took question at the end of the presentation and one that came up was if the discharged water was toxic or not.
“The water that is being discharged is non toxic at the end of the pipe where it leaves the water treatment plant,” Golder Associates environmental chemist, Jerry Vandenberg said.
“It actually has to be clean enough so fish can live in it.” Mount Polley began the discharging of the treated water on Dec. 1st, which goes from Hazeltine Creek through a pipe into Quesnel Lake.
They had a tailings breach in August of 2014.

Marijuanalimbo lawsThough it was an election
promise, Justin Trudeau’s Liberals aren’t going to
be able to legalize marijuana overnight.In fact, the legalization of pot
might take longer than the four years they are guaranteed before the next federal election in Oct. 2019.Undoubtedly, the federal
government would like to get started on this promise, since it’s worth millions of tax dollars every year. But when you consider what they already have on their plate, what with ISIS, Syrian refugees, assisted dying and, oh yes, the economy, it’s understandable that legalizing pot might not be the top item on the Liberals to-do list.Still, the promise was made,
and with pot already legalized in Washington and Colorado, there is a certain expectation that it is a promise they will follow through on. That leaves our police and justice system in a bit of a legal limbo.All the existing prohibitions are
still in force, but police have had a hard enough time enforcing those and getting punitive judgments without the concept of legalization hanging over their heads, in addition to the limited legalization of medicinal marijuana.Maybe we need to set out a
timeline of how this is going to happen and set some preliminary regulations for licensing and regulation of sales.

Jeff Clark’s first day of retirement began peacefully on
January 1, 2015 when he took his dog Charley for a leashed walk in their quiet neighbourhood in Peachland, B.C. The morning took a horrifying turn after they encountered two canines on the loose without their owner: Buddy, a pit bull, and Jake, a Perro de Presa Canario – a pit bull type dog.
Jake sniffed the 30 pound Llapso Apso/Wheaton cross and without any warning, he bit him on his side. Clark kicked Jake’s head to force him off, and as Charley lay on the ground whimpering, Buddy attacked his face and neck and wouldn’t let go. Jeff pounded on Buddy and screamed at him as a neighbour tried to pull him off. The men managed to release Buddy’s powerful grip, and Clark covered his dog with his own body until he was able to rush him to a veterinarian. Tragically Charley’s injuries were so severe he could not be saved.
A responsible owner who cared about public safety would have agreed to euthanize the killer dogs he’d failed to contain. Drew Panton did not do this. Instead he legally fought
to keep them alive at the emotional expense of the Clarks, and the financial expense of taxpayers.
Judge Wallace came to two different decisions on July 31 regarding their fate after reviewing testimony, case law and expert assessment. Buddy’s behaviour was attributed to anxiety and it was determined he was aggressive only while in the company of Jake. Panton could get Buddy back with conditions such as having to leash and muzzle him in public, and ensure an enclosed back yard with a five foot fence. This was an unsatisfactory provision given the fact pit bulls were bred for bloodsport and Buddy had already acted on his genetic instincts. Pit bulls are also exceptionally athletic and many of them can easily escape enclosures much higher than five feet.
Jake, on the other hand, was considered a “grave
threat to other dogs” and the order for him was humane euthanization.
Panton disagreed with the ruling and appealed. He said a dog with no history of aggression should not be put down after one dog fight. His belief that a violent attack on a passive pet could be considered a dog fight is disturbing.
The Supreme Court of British Columbia upheld the decision to euthanize Jake on January 19, 2016. The Regional District of Central Okanagan (RDCO) requested Panton pay for its legal costs as well as the impound fees which totalled $22,216.
Mr. Justice Barrow declined, saying they were costs the local government incurs on behalf of the citizens in discharging its obligations towards their safety.
Panton wasn’t happy he couldn’t save his dog’s life, but he didn’t appear bothered taxpayers would be picking up the tab.
The RDCO was right to try and protect the community from his canine killers. What truly needs to be stopped is irresponsible and entitled owners having a say in the fate of their vicious dogs they don’t control. Both Buddy and
Jake should have been euthanized after their deadly attack.
Owners of pit bull type dogs only make up one percent of the population, yet this vocal minority has effectively bullied the majority of lawmakers, members of the media and the general public into allowing their desire to own bred-to-kill dogs take precedence over public safety.
Implementing breed specific legislation (BSL) for pit bull type dogs is more cost effective, saves lives and cuts down on the number of devastating assaults on humans and animals. Rather than a reactionary measure, its goal is to be preventative by implementing reasonable regulations to create a safer community.
It would also include a mandatory six figure liability insurance for the owners of inherently dangerous dogs. The financial responsibilities of preventable dog attacks should never fall on the victims and taxpayers. Without BSL it almost always does.

Editor:I want to stay in my home in
the Cariboo.And there is one thing we
surely all know.When the winter solstice
comes aroundWe are going to get our fair
share of snow. Every year it has to be cleared
to keep the city running on track.
I like snow, the mayor likes snow and maybe you do too.
From my point of view city crews do well attacking the annual occurrence
They work night and day as snow dictates, you have to give them their due.
Some home owners also have snow to clear from driveways
long and short.I appreciate the services we
taxpayers get for services for which we pay.
Like clearing 18 inch snow windrows from driveways, when snow fall is four inches deep.
For some of us especially old timers like me, it makes for a far, far, easier day.
Observer editions 8 and 13 January 2016, our mayor Bob Simpson extols
“Neighbours helping neighbours” a statement which I practice and agree.
I mow my lawn in summer time and also for senior neighbours aged 79 and 83.
I also clear snow from three
driveways, for the same two neighbours and myself.
Graded Snow windrows are moved from the city street and deposited in driveway entrances.
The compact snow is as hard as cement and that makes me physically nervous.
Snow windrow removal is an “incremental” and “nice to do service” so says our city mayor.
In my opinion city snow windrows are not driveway snow and should be classed as “included service.”
When city snow windrows are blocking our driveways with no way of moving our cars,
A medical emergency, what if it happened now, and a ambulance could not get in.
To lift a gurney over a city snow windrow would be a difficult task to be sure.
Incremental? Nice to do service? I think Bob’s classification is a loss not a win.
When the big front end loader clears city snow windrows it is a great relief for me.
It gives me a sense of security; from what I’m doing I observe and I pause.
I breathe a sigh of relief that our cars are no longer trapped in our driveways. It’s almost as good as on Christmas Eve seeing the great Santa Claus. Shovelling snow windrows is obviously not a big deal for our good city mayor.
He is fairly young and looks to be in great shape, tough and physically fit.
When I was his age I would not even comment of a snow windrow, just move it.
But I’m pushing 86 with two detached biceps and with three driveways to clear,
I need all the help I can get.

History of Relay for Life
in QuesnelThis year
Quesnel’s Relay for Life celebrates 15 years of fundraising for the Canadian Cancer Society.
In its peak year (2009), the event hosted 62 teams and raised $185,000. Although still a popular event in Quesnel, Relay for Life has had declining participation and revenues.
The past 14 years, Quesnel’s Relay for Life has raised more than $l.68 million.
Every year, funds from Relay for Life are designated to research, advocacy, prevention and support programs that bene t all Canadians.
In 2014, $37M was designated to cancer research in Canada.
Of that, $5.6M was invested in research in B.C.; third in the country, topped by Ontario and Quebec.
Sixty per cent of the research projects targeted more that 20 different cancer types; 40 per cent of the research projects had implications for multiple or all cancer types; 20 per cent of the submitted world class research projects were approved for funding; more were recommended for funding – if CCS had more dollars to put towards research.
All good reasons to relay.
ANNIE GALLANTObserver Reporter
It’s a new day, a new venue and many new faces under the leadership of Relay for Life 2016 chair Deb Burton.
This year, Relay for Life falls on Friday, May 27, 5 – 11 p.m. and will take place in Baker Creek Park, next to the West Park Mall. The plans are owing for this year’s event with a theme of Healthy Living.
“More than half of cancers are preventable,” Burton said.
She added they are planning fun events to help get the message across.
First and foremost, the organizing team’s task is to encourage as many people as possible to form teams and sign up. Each team has 10 members and each team member needs to fundraise $150. Teams can register online at relayforlife.ca/quesnel; pick up a package at the CCS of ce at the back of the Fireside Heating building at the top of Dragon Lake Hill; request
a package on their Facebook page, Relay for Life Quesnel; or contact Burton, 250-255-8225.
Their Facebook page is also a great place to tell your cancer story, sign up as a volunteer, or read other’s stories.
Some of the popular aspects to Relay will remain the same such as doing the laps around the paved trail in Baker Creek Park and the traditional survivors lap to begin the event.
Onsite, especially in keeping with the Healthy Living theme, there will be mini-spin classes (stationary bikes), yoga, zumba, massage and much more.
This is a Relay for Life celebration and the entire community is invited to join the gathering, regardless if you are on a team or not. A sit-down dinner, by donation, is planned and this is also open to the community.
Bring the kids as children from infants to teens will nd the entertainment irresistible. Activities for children include a bouncy castle, a newborn and toddler centre, crafts, scavenger
hunts and face painting. However, organizers are just getting started and have loads of great ideas, so watch for much more information as we get closer to the event date.
If plans work out, organizers hope to have a Relay for Life fun run.
On stage in the park will be four major performances, each an hour
long. Closing ceremonies and luminaries will conclude the event.
Relay for Life is a community fundraiser and is designed for everyone, regardless if you have a connection to cancer or not.
Relay is a reason for the community to come together, have fun and raise money for much-needed cancer research.

LIFESTYLES
A Christmas card from a cousin
brought greetings, news of family, but also a request to help ll in the blanks in our family tree.
Little did I know that it would open up lines of communication with other members of the family I scarcely knew and led me to a real search for an old address book containing a niece’s address.
For some reason we did not continue correspondence although I thought of her from time to time.
When I found my little old tattered book and called my niece it brought so much joy to both of us.
Tracing our roots can be a very worthwhile and meaningful project. As well as giving us some form of legitimacy, it gives us a source of pride. While we feel pain in the memory of those no longer with us we can recall the joy they brought to us in their short lives.
Each of us will have memories of those who have touched our lives, even outside our families, and how they helped us along the Road of Life.
That is one of the reasons why I think it is so important to maintain
communication of some kind with each other as much as possible.
A quick phone call or short e-mail. For those on Facebook there is an ability to maintain ties easily. I still like receiving and writing notes in cards and dropping them in the mail.
It is something tangible to hold in your hand.
But however it’s done the important thing is setting a time aside in your busy day and getting into the habit of reaching out to someone you think may need contact.
Sometimes they just need to hear our voice and don’t really need to go into issues that are bothering them.
In search of Cariboo storiesAt their monthly
Jan. 20 meeting the Quesnel Wordspinners writers group made a decision to invite submissions of anecdotes to be published in their upcoming future project – Cariboo Memories. No

Large turnoutat seminar
More than 130 people attended the informative seminar in the Legion Hall Jan. 20 when Clayton’s Funeral Directors held a free seminar regarding such topics as wills, executors and power of attorney.
They touched on the importance of having a will and to name an executor or executors. They must know where the will is kept. The more speci c the better. They also spoke about nancial advisors and notary publics.
When planning an estate the rst call should be to the funeral home.
They will copy essential papers to make it a lot less work for the executors and give the
family peace of mind.Documents
necessary to complete vital statistics registration and CPP death bene t application are: birth certi cate, will (if one exists), social insurance number (SIN) on government document, personal health number (Care card), parent’s names and birth places with maiden name of mother.

It is with great sadness that the family of John Sherran Morrison announces his sudden passing on January 15th 2016. John spent every day of his life on a quest. He thrived on new experiences whether he found them in a recipe, book, or fishing boat. John was a collector, but it was not unusual for him to give something away to someone it meant more to. In the past two years John enjoyed being a grandfather,
trail running, and growing cherry tomatoes in the greenhouse he built. John grew up in Port Alice, B.C. His father worked in a mill and his mother was a school teacher. He earned a BSc in Marine Biology from the University of British Columbia. He worked at Cariboo Pulp & Paper Mill in Quesnel, B.C and as an Environmental Protection Officer for the Government of Nunavut.John leaves behind his wife Jan, mother Nina, siblings Ian (Sherrie),
Marlys (Steve), Wendy (David), Gregory,
his daughter Megan (Kyle)
and his grandson Lachlan.
Waiting for him in heaven are his father Jack, his brother Charles, his daughter Jamie, and several loyal canines.Friends and family will be remembering John at a private memorial.
Few hearts like his, with virtue warm’d,
Few heads with knowledge so inform’d;
If there’s another world, he lives in bliss;
If there is none, he made the best of this-Robert Burns
John Sherran MorrisonOctober 15 1948- January 15 2016
TOM FLETCHERBlack Press
The B.C. government has released the first phase of its aerial survey of mineral deposits in a largely unexplored region of northwest B.C.
GeoscienceBC, a non-profit established by the province a decade ago to stimulate mining activity in areas affected by the mountain pine beetle epidemic, released data from an area from Smithers south to Kitimat and east to Houston.
Maps of geological formations are constructed from magnetic surveys done by helicopter.
The results were released Tuesday at the Association for Mineral Exploration B.C. Roundup conference in Vancouver. Energy and Mines Minister Bill Bennett said the project is assembling the largest geoscience database in B.C. history, with much more precision than an earlier survey in the 1960s.
The next phase will be be to the east, from Houston to the Vanderhoof area. The region has had little surface prospecting because it is covered with glacial deposits from the last ice age.
“There are Highland Valley copper deposits out there,” Bennett said.
“There are Brucejack gold deposits out there. There are huge zinc, silver, lead deposits out there. They’ve been found before in B.C.”
With mining investment stalled by low commodity prices and some existing operations shut down, Premier Christy Clark opened the
conference by announcing a plan to let mining companies defer their BC Hydro bills to keep operating.
The bills would have to be paid later with interest, when metal and coal prices recover.
The association released its own study before the conference, detailing that more than half of the province is either off limits to mineral exploration or restricted. Some of that is from parks or protected areas, while other areas are subject to land use plans the association described as “overlapping and sometimes ambiguous.”
Bennett said he appreciates the reminder about land restrictions, which he described as difficult to change even when wildlife habitat or other circumstances have changed since restrictions were imposed.
The industry also has to accept that public and First Nations expectations have changed greatly in recent years, and mining has to adapt to that reality, he said.

“There are Brucejack gold deposits out there. There are huge zinc, silver, lead deposits
out there. They’ve been found before in B.C.”

Serenity keeps trying to put out fire with gasoline and this time
got burnt by Fraser River who overcame a 4-1 deficit to earn a 6-5 shootout win. After their embarrassing 10-3 loss last week, Fraser River listened to ground controls sage advice of taking their protein pills and putting their helmets on which didn’t look like enough in the first half when they were down by three.
Leading the Chevy Crew to the comeback victory circle was Waylon “and Willy” L`Heureux who really made the grade as he scored once in regulation, added three assists and pot-ted the shootout winner for extra measure. Showing his squad that he could be a hero, just for one shot anyway, was Randy “Queen of” England who feathered in a puck from the point for his first FHL tally in 11 years, eight days and seven minutes. Also having a big game was Tyler Coleman “Lantern” who scored
once and added two assists as Chris “Ziggy” Royle and Dan “Starman” Lowndes both scored once and added a couple of thun-dering body checks. Bright lights for Serenity, who have gone to a shootout in five of their past eight games, was Ian “Heartbreaker” Hannah who scored twice and added two assists as Gord “Sling-shot” Salmons rocketed in a pair with Eric “Frantic” Stanick scoring the Builders final goal with a blast from the point.
Meanwhile, in the new
rink which is closer to 30 than 20, BCS found their scoring touch in an 8-6 thrill-er over Bear. The sometimes chippy af-fair needed a six pack of
Molson three star selec-tions as several players made huge impacts on the game’s outcome. BCS`s “La première étoile” was Justin “Time” Rasmussen who scored a couple of beauties and added a trio of assists as “King” Kieron Langen notched the winning and in-surance markers. Separated at birth twins Wade “The
Blade” Fenton and Darcy “Whirling Dervish” McGil-livray also got into the act with a goal and an assist apiece for BCS who sport the best record at 4-1-0 the past five contests. Enjoying his finest hour and a half since who knows when was Bears Budd “Crash” Carter who scored two of the pret-tiest goals of his career.
The only other multipoint producer from the see-ing Red corner was Jason “Firecracker” Foreman who tallied twice and assisted on another as he and Justin “Time” Rasmussen share the scoring lead with 42 points.

RELIGION
Day of small things
Zechariah 4:10 For who has despised the day of small things? (NIV)
As I have been reading and teaching the book of Acts, the story of the church in Antioch has been an encouragement
to me. It began as a foot-note in “Some of them, however, men from Cy-prus and Cyrene, went to Antioch and began to speak to Greeks also, tell-ing them the good news about the Lord Jesus.” Acts 11:20 (NIV) Jerusa-lem was the place where it had all started. Jerusalem was where the Apostles were. Jerusalem was the holy city.
Off in Antioch we would find a mixed group of Jews
and Gentiles. It seems it was a church separate from Synagogue worship. In that local church were a group of men waiting on God in worship and fast-ing. God spoke and they obeyed. What God said was to separate two men to the work He had given them to do.
So they fasted a little more, laid hands on Saul (Paul) and Barnabas, and sent them off. Little did they know the far-reach-
ing effect of that act of faith. This small team be-gan by visiting Synagogues in other cities and preach-ing a simple message of faith in Jesus Christ.
It was that message and this small band of men that changed the course of history. In each of the plac-es they visited there was a church established, pagan-ism and worship of false gods was brought down and over a period of time the faith they preached be-
came the Church of Rome. That faith is alive today because a relatively small group of people in a newly planted church were lis-tening to God and obeyed when he spoke.
“For the eyes of the Lord run to and fron through-out the whole earth, to show himself strong on be-half of them whose heart is perfect toward him.” II Chronicles 16:9 (KJV)
That’s an old story and what does it have to do
with us today? God is still looking for hearts that are fully his. It doesn’t have to be in the largest, most like-ly location. It can begin in a small, newly formed group. My question is, if God were to show him-self strong in your behalf, what would it look like and what might you do? Let’s find out by making our hearts fully his!
Rawlin Falk is a pastor with Maple Park Alliance Church in Quesnel.

PLAN NUMBER 7-4-892 ELEGANT TWO-LEVEL EXECUTIVE HOME The open design of this elegant two-level executive home makes it ideal for enter-taining large groups or hosting house guests. But it’s also a practical family home, with four bedrooms upstairs, plus a den on the main floor. For casual events, visitors will gravitate to the kitchen where food and drinks can be set out on a raised eating bar incor-porated into the work island, or served in the bayed breakfast nook overlooking the garden.

Room sizes are generous throughout, with plenty of space in the family room to accommodate large, comfortable pieces of furniture, as well as a big-screen TV and other audio-visual equipment. The master bedroom features a luxurious ensuite bathroom that occupies a bayed-out turret area that is equipped with a soaker tub, a separate shower and his and hers sinks. A second full bathroom on this level also contains enough space for two sinks. Laundry facilities are conveniently situ-ated upstairs, next to the bedrooms. A mud room off the kitchen provides space for a freezer and a closet for outdoor clothing. Special features include a three-sided gas fireplace in the living room, a decora-tive arched wall that separates the family room from the dining rooms and a built-in wine cabinet. The welcoming exterior boasts oversized arched windows, a staggered façade clad in stone and traditional wood siding and a covered front entry. This home measures 68 feet wide and 53 feet, 9 inches deep, for a total of 2969 square feet of finished living space, plus the unfinished basement.Plans for design 7-4-892 are available for $935 (set of 5), $1005(set of 8) and $1061 for a super set of 10.
