THE FANTASTICKSPAGE A9

AUTUMN MacDONALDObserver Reporter

The Ontario Civil Liber-ties Association (OCLA) has thrown their support behind local journalist Arthur Topham.

“My wife and I are extremely pleased and re-lieved that � nally a presti-gious organization such as the Ontario Civil Liberties Association has taken the time to review the case and rightfully conclude that it is a precedent set-ting one and important to Canadians everywhere

in terms of their Charter right to free expression,” Topham said.

“In 2012, the Conserva-tive government repealed the former Section 13 hate crime legislation then contained in the Cana-dian Human Rights Code because it was deemed unconstitutional.

“Now we’re seeing the OCLA challenge the last remaining hate propa-ganda laws in the Crimi-nal Code, Sections 318 to 320; laws that tend to bene� t only certain small portions of Canada’s

population and are very susceptible to political manipulation. This initia-tive will hopefully free all Canadians of these draconian laws that have no place in a free and democratic society.”

Topham was arrested and his house searched and items seized in late May of 2012 after it was determined there were “reasonable grounds the offence of promotion of hatred was committed.”

The OCLA statement regarding Topham’s case states:

“Topham is a peaceful married man, a father of four, grandfather of eight and a small business man in a rural community, who has not previously been charged with any crime. In 2012, he was arrested in front of his spouse, detained and has been subjected to a broad house-invasive seizure, and to many preliminary court proceedings, in which he is now self rep-resented by necessity.”

The document then goes on to highlight justi� ca-tion for support.

“The Ontario Civil Liberties Association be-lieves that the proceedings against Mr. Topham are systemically political in nature and should not be consuming public, police, and judicial resources.

“We believe that the proceedings are harmful to Canadian society, in addition to being unac-ceptably unjust towards a citizen.

“The Ontario Civil Lib-erties Association knows of no scienti� c basis (so-ciological or psychologi-cal) whereby the emotion

of “hate” can be caus-ally and deterministically induced in a person by a communicator of words posted to a website.”

The organization is ask-ing the attorney general to retract “her consent for the proceedings against Topham in the interest of preserving a just and democratic Canada.”

Topham is next in court Oct. 27 if convicted he faces two years in jail.

Community Engagement Session

TOWN HALL OPEN HOUSE

Do you ever feel like every level of

government has their hands

in your piggy bank?

Do you ever wish you had more say?

Here’s your chance...

At this session, the CRD will be seeking input to help us prepare for the 2015

budget and five-year financial plan. There will be a set presentation at 5:30

p.m. Residents will have an opportunity to provide input and feedback on the

budget and services provided in your area.

West Quesnel land stability program open house slatedThe City of Quesnel is

hosting an open house at the Royal Canadian Legion Hall on Thursday Oct. 2. The open house will begin at 6 p.m. with a formal presentation at 7 p.m. All residents are invited and encouraged to attend.

This open house is to provide residents with detailed information on the 2013 Annual Monitoring Program and the final report of the Phase I work which was completed in 2012.

Although this movement is specific to West Quesnel, the impacts on the entire community are substantial and the West Quesnel Land Stability program is pertinent to all Quesnel residents.

To date, the City of Quesnel has committed over $4.4 million to the program. We know what the solution to the situation is however,

the costs for completing the remediation program are well beyond the financial ability of the City or its taxpayers.

“We continue to meet with senior government officials and our conversations about Phase II are ongoing,” Mayor

Mary Sjostrom said.“The West Quesnel Land

Stability program continues to be the highest priority for the City.”

“Residents in the area have experienced significant damage to their homes and the general state of disrepair will continue if a solution is not fully implemented,” councillor and chair of the West Quesnel Land Stability Advisory Committee Mike Cave said.

“A continued commitment from government will go a long way towards allaying fears and helping provide our community with the news that they are committed to providing a solution.”

West Quesnel is a desirable place to live and an attractive community to approximately 20 per cent of the city’s population.

“A continued commitment from

government will go a long way towards allaying fears and helping provide our community with the news that they are

committed to providing a solution.”Mike Cave, Coun.

Agreement reached

ANNIE GALLANTObserver Reporter

For Quesnel volunteer fire department fire fighter Brian Dean there’s just one word to describe how he feels about his volun-teer commitment – serv-ing.

“I moved here from South Africa in 2011 and thought joining the fire department would be a great way to get to know people in Quesnel,” he said.

“I also wanted to be useful in the city, playing my part in the commu-nity beyond my everyday work.”

Dean began his train-

ing in January 2013 and qualified as a fire fighter in January 2014.

For him, Dean knew from try-outs that he would enjoy doing this type of volunteering and after his extensive train-

ing and exposure to a lot the possibilities associated with fire fighting, he knew he’d been right.

“This is something you have to commit to stick-ing with,” he said.

“It’s not glamorous and can even be a little mundane at times, but the rewards of being part of a group of people commit-ted to others and the sat-isfaction of helping others in dangerous situations makes it worthwhile. Go for it.”

However, Dean was quick to add it’s certainly never about being a hero.

“It’s much more about being willing to play any role on a heroic team,” he said.

“Some tasks seem less exciting, but every task is important.”

Dean recalls his first couple of call-outs when his services weren’t even required. But his first response was to a fire at one of the mills.

“It didn’t go as I had pictured it and I need help carrying equipment up and down many stairs, but it was great to be part of a team. Of course, I had visions of grandeur that may have involved rescuing someone, but it was not to be. Never-theless, I returned feel-ing elated and without regrets.”

Being a fire fighter and part of the Quesnel team

means many things to Dean. Words that spring to mind are camaraderie, hard work, team, sense of duty, friendship, commit-ment, discipline, training, more training and yet more training.

“We don’t always get to douse the fire in time and sometimes it’s a false alarm, but being available when you are needed – even just to set people’s minds at ease, is very rewarding,” Dean said.

As a recent recruit, Dean understand the need for ongoing recruitment.

“People are regularly relocating or retiring and some are unable to continue due to changing commitments to work or

family, so new recruits are key to a continued strong force.”

Dean was quite clear that fire fighting isn’t for the lazy or feint-of-heart.

“There have been many exhilarating moments in burning buildings, on ladders, in thick smoke and extreme heat as well as vehicle accidents but its not about that, its about those willing to go the extra mile to serve the people of Quesnel at their time of need.”

Quesnel has six fire halls and each could always do with a few more fire fight-ers. Oct. 5 – 11 is Fire Prevention Week. Anyone interested in volunteering call any of the fire halls.

Fire fighting takes commitment and teamwork

The big story at this year’s Union of B.C. Municipalities

convention was a report commissioned by the B.C. government that reveals municipal pay increases for unionized staff have been running at twice the rate of provincial raises.

When I asked Premier Christy Clark about the intent of this report, leaked just before the annual UBCM convention, she was blunt. It’s to get this issue onto the agenda for the November municipal elections, which the province has decreed shall be for four-year terms instead of three.

After local elections, discussions with surviving and incoming municipal politicians will resume.

Things have been going pretty well for the main municipal union, the Canadian Union of Public Employees, for the last couple of decades. As local election turnout has gone from bad to worse, municipal employees themselves have become an increasingly dominant voting bloc.

Then there are the “labour councils” in urban centres, now almost entirely fronts for public sector unions. They quietly survey council

candidates to determine their level of affection for ever-growing public payrolls, and dole out campaign funds accordingly. Sometimes they organize full slates, with cuddly names like “Protect Coquitlam” to appeal to low-information voters.

During last week’s convention in Whistler, I caught up to Finance Minister Mike de Jong in a brief break from the dozens of meetings cabinet ministers have with mayors, councillors and regional directors.

Is the province going to impose some kind of solution?

“There’s not some hidden legislative agenda,” de Jong replied. More data needs to be gathered, and the report shows ongoing problems with management salaries at the provincial level as well.

Is this the first step to imposing a tight-fisted

centralized bargaining agency, such as the government set up last year to wrestle the B.C. Teachers’ Federation to the ground?

“We haven’t formulated our answer,” de Jong said. “What the data does suggest, however, is that there may well be some merit [to centralized bargaining]. One of the recommendations points to a more coordinated approach to some of the negotiations that take place.”

Will the new municipal auditor general have a role in this?

“The purpose of the auditor was not to become an enforcement mechanism,” de Jong said. “It was to play a traditional audit function on whether taxpayers are getting value for money. To that extent I suppose a municipal auditor might be able to comment on the advantages of coordinating efforts.”

NDP leader John Horgan’s attack on the compensation report was as predictable as it was selective. In his speech to delegates, Horgan called it “one-sided, politically motivated, shoddy work” designed to embarrass local politicians on the eve of their elections.

Did he question Ernst

and Young’s numbers, the pay increases for municipal union staff of 38 per cent between 2001 and 2012, compared to 19 per cent for unionized provincial staff? Did he question their calculation that over that period, inflation totalled 23 per cent?

No. The facts being against him, he went with an emotional pitch to distract from them.

Recall that during the final days of the teachers’ strike, Horgan suddenly decided that what was really needed was binding arbitration. This was 24 hours after the teachers’ union took that position.

So there’s the big question to be considered by voters as local elections draw near. Which candidates are looking out for your interests, and which ones are working on behalf of CUPE?

There’s another troubling trend in manipulation of local government that was more evident than ever at the 2014 UBCM convention. I’ll discuss that in a future column.

Rolling

The Liberal wave keeps roll-ing across Central and Eastern Canada.

Brian Gallant led the provincial Lib-eral party in New Brunswick to victory in this week’s election, in the process becoming, at 32, the country’s youngest premier.The Liberal victory in New Brunswick

followed Liberal triumphs this year in elections in Ontario, Quebec and Nova Scotia. While there may not be an official alliance between provincial and federal Liberal parties, the elector-ate does not necessarily know or care for details of any relationships. To the average voter, a provincial Liberal is a federal Liberal and vice-versa – and that is usually true in terms of policy and politician, with the glaring exception of the British Columbia Liberal Party, which would be more at home federally standing alongside the Conservatives.There is little doubt the emergence

of Justin Trudeau as federal Liberal leader has influenced voters provincially in those provinces that have recently elected Grit governments.Despite his off-the-cuff gaffes (on

China’a dictatorship and the Ukraine-Russia conflict) and controversial, seemingly sudden, policy decisions (pro-marijuana legalization, pro-choice candidates and removing the Liberal tag from all erstwhile Grit senators), Trudeau resonates with enough voters to have become a serious threat to the status quo in Ottawa. Since the 2011 federal election, in

which the Conservatives won a major-ity, there have been 13 by-elections. Of those, only two seats changed hands — and the Liberals stole both, from the Conservatives and New Democrats.It would seem Prime Minister Stephen

Harper is facing a serious threat.And, if trends are any indication,

consider the red wave soaking most of Atlantic Canada. The last time the Lib-erals held power in Canada, there were Grit governments in New Brunswick (1987 to 1999), Newfoundland and Labrador (1989 to 2003), Prince Ed-ward Island (1993 to 1996) and Nova Scotia from 1993 to 1999.The Election Act of Canada dictates

that the next federal election be held on Oct. 19, 2015. However, the governor general can still call an election at any time on the advice of the prime minister.Harper, it would seem, has a hard

decision to make — wait to see if Trudeau’s popularity wanes or risk it getting more pervasive.

Editor:I fail to understand why

special interest groups continue to sensationalise the Mount Polley mine incident.

Yes, a damn failed and thousands of litres of water and mud knocked out a swath of trees and deposited them into Polley Lake.

However, the water was not toxic as many

claim and, from my understanding, the mixture contains minimal amounts of naturally occurring minerals, metals, rock, sand, silt and mud.

Yes, the site looks horrendous.

But it’s not unlike any other naturally occurring mud slide that happens regularly all over B.C. Thankfully no one was

hurt or injured, and the water tests continue to confirm that the water in the creeks and lakes is fit for human consumption and perfectly safe for fish.

Scientists also continue to confirm that arsenic, mercury and lead levels fall well below the maximum allowable limits for drinking water.

Today, people are once again watching fish jump

in the lake and can drink the water, and there is every reason to expect that in a year natural

vegetation re-growth will render the incident almost undetectable.

Yes, we need to find out

why this happened and do what we can to ensure that it does not happen again.

But I am not going to let all the “anti-everything” alarmists out there continue to suggest that we shut down an industry so many families rely on. Instead, let’s make it better.

Donald LeungBurnaby, B.C.

year natural vegetation re-growth will render the incident almost undetectable.

No university in Canada has a history like UNBC’s. Imagine 16,000 people calling on government to create a northern university. It happened here. Before UNBC was a university, it was a social movement that instilled a strong sense of ownership, purpose, and adventure in the region, which carries over to our students today.

LIFESTYLES

ANNIE GALLANTObserver Reporter

Quesnel Live Arts first show of their 2014/2015 season is a dynamic combination of Canadian folk hero, Valdy and the blue-haired priestess of the bassoon, Nadina Mackie Jackson, Oct. 7, 7:30 p.m., Chuck Mobley Theatre.

For more than 34 years, Valdy has been part of the fabric of Canadian pop and folk music. From Newfoundland to Vancouver Island to Texas and New Zealand, he’s a man with a thousand friends.

It’s said he catches the small but telling moments that make up life and delivers them to eager audiences around the world.

“I’ve been lucky,” Valdy said when asked about his

career’s longevity.“I’ve worked with

some amazing people, players, innovative products, great songwriters.”

He pauses, pulls his whitening beard and adds, “And I married the right woman.”

Immediately upon graduation from the Curits Insititute of Music in 1981, Nadina Mackie Jackson began her career with the Montreal Symphony. She is the principal bassoonist of the grip of 27, the Aradia Baroque Ensemble and a regular guest with FViolons du Roy.

She records and performs worldwide on both modern and historical bassoons, has recorded 11 solo, concerto and chamber music CDs and can be heard on more than 100 orchestral recordings on the London Decca, Sony,

ATMA and Naxos labels.

Her 2013/14 season included 37 solo appearances in recital and with orchestras across Canada, including four premiers of new concerti written for her.

Valdy and Jackson perform with jazz pianist Karel Roessingh and bassist Joe Phillips where the Valdy songbook, jazz and classical works including Vivaldi

provide a concert that delights audiences of all ages and backgrounds.

Tickets are $25/

show or $125 for seasons tickets (six shows) regular admission or $20/show and $100 for

seasons tickets for seniors and youth. Tickets may be purchased at Save-On Foods, K-max,

Green Tree Health and Wellness, at the door or in advance by calling 250-747-2207.

Bev Pontius and Janice Butler share a moment

during rehearsals.Contributed photo

KMT proudly presents The FantasticksANNIE GALLANTObserver Reporter

Kersley Musical Theatre (KMT) is back.

Yes, Janice Butler and Cathy Heinzelman are back directing and producing The Fantasticks. The longest running off-Broadway musical of all time is coming to Kersley Hall Nov. 2 – 8.

The show has a dual purpose, first they are hoping to raise funds for Bev Pontius who is currently in the medical battle of her life.

She has been the piano player for KMT since their first production almost 15-years-ago.

Not only did she play at every rehearsal and for all the shows but she also took on the music for the ‘YES’ shows and some of the Cottonwood Musical Theatre shows. Pontius is best known for her never-ending patience and love.

“You could look over at the

piano anytime and just see how much she loved the music, the shows and probably most of all, the antics of the crazy cast members that kept her on her toes,” Butler said.

“Bev has been ill this past year and is in need of support and KMT wants to help her out and what better way for a band of actors/singers/dancers to raise money than to put on a show.”

The second reason for this production is to also raise funds for another production.

No one is saying what that production might be but rumour has it that it might be about an English nanny who flies into some children’s lives with an umbrella and a huge carpet bag full of magic.

“Oh, and there also is talk of penguins,” Bulter added with a chuckle.

The Fantasticks is a 1960s musical which tells the story of two neighbouring fathers who trick their children into falling in love by pretending to feud.

Once the children discover the deception and lies, they reject the arranged love match and separate.

Each then gains disillusioning experiences of the real world, then return to each other bruised but enlightened and they renew their vows with more maturity.

The show’s original off-Broadway production ran a total of 42 years and 17,162 performances, making it the world’s longest-running musical.

“It’s a fun but very different production with a very small cast. The music for this production is much more sophisticated and challenging than many musical scores,” Butler and Heinzelman said.

“I’m very pleased with the cast of eight. They’re experienced and seasoned and very easy to work with. I’m very impressed and they all have very big hearts for Bev.”

The cast includes seven males,

Denver and Brody Lamarche, Don Peeke Vout, Bert Koning, Stephan Davies, John Matheson and Jeff Sandve and one lone female, Jenaya Barker.

Butler added its been wonderful to slip back into a very comfortable role as director.

“It’s been four years since we’ve been in any rehearsals,” she admitted.

When asked why this play, she said she’d directed this particular play before and knew it was a small show, very manageable in a hurry.

“There’s minimal sets, only one costume for each actor and the story is timeless and enchanting while being funny and endearing.”

From read through to stage is just two months.

For producer Heinzelman its a bit more complicated as much of the infrastructure from previous productions no longer exists or must be salvaged from storage.

“We’re starting from scratch with costumes and fortunately there’s not much for sets,” she said.

“I just take care of anything that needs doing. It’s bittersweet with Bev’s illness.”

Cathy Walsh is the pianist for this production and although she doing an admirable job filling Pontius’ shoes, both Butler and Heinzelman said they miss Pontius very much.

Lacy MacDonald is Janice’s assistant for this play and with her extensive experience with KMT, she is able to assist in most areas.

Tickets for this production will go fast so be sure to pick yours up right away at the Tourist Info Centre, Kersley General Store or Bo Peep Boutique.

If you’re interested in advertis-ing or donating to the Bev Pon-tius fund contact Christy Ken-nedy, KMT’s public relations person, 250-983-2423.

CAPSULE COMMENTSSafeway

With Jessica Joly B.Sc. (Pharm)We’re getting close to the flu season again a time when some people try to decide whether to get a flu shot or not. Why suffer through the flu if you don’t have to? Although the shots haven’t been 100% effective, they certainly reduce the chances of your getting the flu and at the same time you are protecting others as well.

The flu vaccine can’t give you the flu. It contains only a killed virus which cannot infect you but builds up antibodies against the flu virus. Nasal vaccines do contain a live virus but have the parts of the virus removed to reduce side effects.

Some people feel that if they get the flu once in a season that are protected from getting it again. Not so. Both types A and B flu viruses circulate each season and if one infects, you still could be infected by another strain.

People talk about side effects of flu vaccine. In 2012 in Ontario, 7.8 million publicly-funded flu shots were given. Of those, there were 252 sore arms, 137 rashes and 47 fevers. And only 56 of the adverse effects were labeled “serious”. Flu vaccines are very safe and side effects are very few.

By the way, it is safe to get a flu shot if you are pregnant. Because pregnancy puts extra stress on the immune system, there is an increased risk of getting the flu if you aren’t vaccinated. You are also doing your baby a favour as well. If you have any questions about flu shots, our pharmacists will be very happy to answer them.

Premier Christy Clark wants rising municipal pay rates to be front and centre in November elections around B.C., and that’s why her government set off a storm at the annual local government convention by releasing an unflattering comparison study with provincial pay.

In her speech to close the annual Union of B.C. Municipalities convention Friday, Clark told 2,000 local government delegates she is “not here to point a finger” at local governments, but she wants them to do the hard work of negotiations as the province did in the recent dispute with B.C. teachers.

A study by Ernst and Young was released days before the convention by the Canadian Taxpayers’ Federation. It calculated that unionized municipal staff received pay increases of 38 per cent between 2001 and 2012, twice as much as unionized provincial staff, and ahead of inflation of 23 per cent during the same period.

“I think it’s a legitimate issue to be discussed because it’s taxpayers who pay for these compensation costs,”

Clark told reporters after her speech. “Further than that we’ll wait until we have new municipal councils to speak with, and then we can talk about the next steps.”

NDP local government critic Selina Robinson said the report, prepared and leaked without notice to the UBCM, “hit a group of people over the head with a two-by-four.”

Robinson also objected to Clark urging B.C. residents to choose peaceful accommodation,

saying the long and bitter strike that shut schools for five weeks is a poor example.

In her speech, Clark emphasized the importance of resource development, an apparent reference to the battle led by Burnaby against the proposed expansion of the Trans Mountain oil pipeline.

Clark announced the appointment of Cariboo-Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett to lead a rural advisory committee to give rural communities a “fair

share” of resource development. She used the example of Princeton, a community of 3,000 that generates $750 million in economic activity from forestry and the Copper Mountain Mine.

Clark admitted the B.C. government has “fallen behind”

on a long-standing government promise to extend broadband Internet to small communities, and vowed to renew efforts for communities such as Granisle, where fibre optic lines stopped just short of the community.

Clark wants municipal pay to be election issue

Fraser River changes course, grabs a gear and pulverizes

Bue Collar 7-5 as Bear mauls Serenity 7-3 thanks to “Killer’s” continued hotstreak.

Based on last week’s preliminary results, odds makers had BCS as a slight favourite over Fraser River, but that turned out to be a risky bet as the Chevy Crew blew the doors off the BCS crummy 7-5.

Leading the beat down was “Captain” Kevin

Hesslegrave as he scored a hat trick with super-sub Wade Price “Was right” chipping in a pair of goals and assists.

Also having a fine morning was Jason

“Junior” Johnson with a trio of assists and Derek “Mike” Kitamura who scored once and earned one assist.

Scoring the goal of the game (GOG) was Shane “The Pain” Thon who split his own D before roofing the puck where the sun don’t shine.

Replying for the BCS side who seemed a bit discombobulated at times was Les “Knuckles” Nylen and Colin “Kevlar” Keis who both scored a pair to go with an assist.

Also scoring for BCS was Ian Hannah “Alberta” who nicklebacked his first of the year.

Meanwhile back in the Barn on Barlow that looked more like a sauna than an arena Bear started off and ended strong as they frustrated Serenity at every turn in the 7-3 win.

The lucky centre man who got to play with “Killer” this week was Lee “Nitro” Naeth who seized the opportunity scoring four

goals and an assist as Randy “Killer” Crofts continued his wonderful start with a post and in rocket and three first half assists.

Anchoring the #1 line was Brian “Big Papi” Inwood who bounced one in and added a helper.

Also getting into the act was Steve “Sayonara” Dodge whose flail on the backhand found the twine as “Dynamite” Derek Burdekin scored the “GOG” with a shorthanded, end to end,

water bottle blasting beauty.

Replying for a suddenly sullen Serenity squad was Wade “The Blade” Fenton on a toe drag clinic as he also assisted on Dan “The Man” Lowdnes mesh rippler as Chad “The Comet” Swanson scored at least one goal but was only credited with a singleton.

– Steve Dodge is a defensive winger with Bear Communications and an Observer contributor.

September 28 - October 4, 2014ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20Aries, though you are usually up for a conversa-tion with someone you don’t know, this week you could be in a more conservative mood. You’ll have future chances to chat.

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21You have been on a shopping binge of late, Taurus. If you have unlimited funds, this would not be so problematic. But finances are tight, and you should be more cautious.

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21Gemini, you are often an entertaining and fun person to have around. This is probably why you get so many invitations to parties and other social occasions. Enjoy your fanfare.

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22Surround yourself with children this week, Cancer. They’ll provide the unedited, honest information you desire right now. It can certainly be eye-opening.

LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23Spend some quality time with a romantic partner this week, Leo. He or she can provide more of what you need, such as true affection and com-panionship, than what’s offered by friends.

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22Virgo, you deserve credit at the office. If you’re patient, some measure of recognition will come your way this week. It’s a start to getting what you need.

LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23Few people will accuse you of being uncommu-nicative, Libra. In fact, you’re usually downright chatty. It’s one of the traits people will admire most in you this week.

SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22Scorpio, a new person comes into your life and your attraction to this person catches you off guard. It’s okay to flirt, but if you’re already at-tached to someone, leave it at that.

SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21Sagittarius, you’re often the one to take the lead in conversations in your group of friends, but this week someone else takes the lead. You’re content to sit back and simply listen.

CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20Capricorn, once you have gained enough confi-dence in a special interest, you may be able to turn it into a career instead of just a hobby. Keep working toward that goal.

AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18It’s time to tie up some loose ends, Aquarius. Rustle up some energy to take care of all those little things that need to be wrapped up. You’ll feel a weight lift afterward.

I didn’t know anything about the sport when

my 7 year old daughter came home and said, “I want to try ringette.”

I’m always up for my kids trying a variety of activities so I went along with her and signed her up.

Little did I know that she would develop a love for the sport, drag me along as well, and pass the same ringette bug to her younger sisters.

Ringette is a sport similar to hockey.

You strap on your equipment, lace up your skates and step on the ice.

The similarities to hockey end there.

Ringette zones force more passing, step up the speed of the game and ensure that all players get involved in the play.

There is no checking in ringette.

You need to play the ring first, but “incidental” contact while attempting to play the ring is common and you quickly learn to stay strong and skate hard.

Most ringette players I know are fiercely devoted to

their sport. When my daughter

started playing ringette I was astounded by the universal love of play.

Talking to older girls or women who have played the sport their response to Ringette was always the same.

“I loved playing ringette.”

My girls love the competition, speed and physicality of ringette, but it is the teamwork that really drives their passion for the game.

They are very aware of how much they have improved. How much faster they can skate.

SportS

Ringette, a true team sportfrom A12

How much stronger they have become.

But, in true ringette fashion they also celebrate the success of their teammates.

A hat trick for one player is fantastic, but that celebration is easily eclipsed when a girl scores her first goal.

Ringette is truly a team sport.

The Quesnel Ringette Association

has been active for 25 years in our community.

This year we are sending three Quesnel players to Team BC to play in the Canada Winter games.

Only one other association in British Columbia is as well represented as Quesnel. One.

Not bad for a small town association.

Ringette is a game focussed on skating,

passing, teamwork, speed and fun.

If you want your kids to learn to skate, and have fun doing it, ringette is the game to play.

The Quesnel Ringette Association is open for registrations and currently has a $99 deal for any new players. The association can supply equipment as well.

If your child wants to skate and have fun there is no better time to try ringette.

One of my favourite quotes about ringette came from a rough and tumble logger from Kelowna who played hockey growing up and now coaches ringette.

“Ringette is one beautiful game.”
