Becoming an organ donor just got easier AUTUMN MacDONALD Observer Reporter Registering has never been easier. The province and BC Transplant have partnered to make organ donation as easy as a click away. Starting Monday, Service BC centres in Quesnel, Dawson Creek, Port Alberni and Salmon Arm will offer citizens a variety of opportunities to register their decision to be an organ donor, including the above service locations as well as online registration. “We know that British

Columbians support organ donation,” BC Transplant provincial executive director Dr. Greg Grant said. “We are excited that this partnership with Service BC will make it easier for people in many of B.C.’s smaller communities to register their decision.” More than 95 per cent of British Columbians support organ donation but only 19 per cent have registered. With close to 500 citizens on the transplant waiting list, signing up to become an organ donor could

help save lives – possibly the life of a neighbour, coworker, friend or family member in need. “There are nearly 400 British Columbians who are currently waiting for a life saving kidney transplant,” B.C. Branch Kidney Foundation Executive Director, Karen Philp said. “This initiative is a critical first step in making organ donations easier, and for the many people awaiting transplants this will signify a very hopeful first step. “On behalf of those awaiting donors and the

entire Kidney Foundation family I would like to thank Minister Wilkinson and Minister Lake for their leadership.” Quick Facts: • Nearly 400 of the people on the list are waiting for a kidney. • A single donor can save up to eight lives. • A decal on your driver’s licence is no longer enough. A potential donor also needs to register using a BC Services Card or CareCard at: www.transplant.bc.ca • You should still register no matter how old you are. Canada’s oldest organ

donor on record was 93. • Service BC delivers hundreds of services for government programs to residents, businesses and visitors - in person, online and over the phone. There are 61 Service BC centres located in British Columbia, serving more than 1.34 million people every year. • BC Transplant, an agency of the Provincial Health Services Authority, provides provincial oversight for all organ donation and transplantation activities in B.C. “With so many British Columbians waiting for a

transplant it’s great to be able to use government resources in creative ways to help increase the number of potential donors in B.C.” Minister of Health Terry Lake said. “Donor registrations help save the lives of patients in need of a transplant,” Minister of Technology, Innovation and Citizens’ Services Andrew Wilkinson added. “I’m proud that we can support this program through our Service BC centres and help increase awareness about the importance of organ donation.”

UBCM THIS WEEK This week local leaders from across our province will meet in Whistler for the annual Union of B.C. Municipalities (UBCM) Convention. As minister responsible for local government, I am honoured to play a part of this great opportunity that opens lines of communication and strengthens relationships between local governments and Victoria. Today, municipal, provincial, and federal improvements are supported through taxes and fees. And while there are many types of taxes, there is only one taxpayer- and that’s you. As a former City Councillor, I understand the importance of working with all levels of government to keep spending affordable. Local governments play such an important role in the lives of British Columbians, especially in the Cariboo. They help provide social services, support economic growth, attract investment and make decisions on a variety of complex issues and concerns for their communities. For local government delegates, the UBCM Convention is an opportunity to meet faceto-face with myself and my provincial colleagues and directly discuss issues that shape their communities such as transportation, the delivery of health care, natural resource development or policing matters. Our government holds UBCM’s convention in high esteem and focuses months of work ensuring the time local and regional representatives is well spent during the week. Like myself, so many of my colleagues have been elected to municipal office. We know full-well that individuals and neighbourhoods improves quality of life and creates vibrant, successful communities. Today, strong communities are important to embrace innovation. The 2014 UBCM convention theme of “Leading Edge” supports this notion of working together to pinpoint challenges and obstacles ahead, develop solutions together and explore innovative ideas that encourage responsible stewardship of public resources. As minister, I have the privilege to address all the delegates through a keynote speech, but it’s the face-to-face interaction that counts the most.

Search still on for Deena Braem’s killer It’s been 15 years today (Sept. 24) since the disappearance of Deena Braem. The following is the last public update in 2007. RCMP continue to investigate. Anyone with information is asked to call RCMP or Crimestoppers. Jim Braem expects to go to his grave never knowing who murdered his daughter Deena. RCMP say their investigation into Deena’s 1999 murder remains one of their top priority unsolved cases, but Jim isn’t optimistic about a solution. “If they’ve got nothing after eight years, that’s exactly what they’ve got, nothing,” he said. Coping hasn’t come any easier for the Braem family.

“On the outside, we look like we’re OK but you’re never OK,” he said. “You never get over it but at the same time you can’t stop living.” Sept. 24, 1999, 16-yearold Deena Braem was excited about a party she was planning to attend that evening. It was her birthday weekend. Deena was turning 17 on Sept. 28. She slipped on a pair of silver-coloured blue jeans with flare bottoms and a blue-gray sweater with a wide, multi-coloured strip across the middle. Before she left the house she also threw on a bluegray hooded jacket with a pouch in front and then put on Airwalk running shoes. Deena went to school as usual and then headed to

the party with her friends at the four-by track. The party was a good one, by all accounts, but Deena eventually tired and, with a friend, caught a ride into town. Leaving her friend at the home of another acquaintance, Deena decided to continue on hitchhiking home. Quesnel RCMP need information and are still keenly interested in talking to people who might have seen her on North Fraser Drive in the early morning hours of Sept. 25. Several citizens have come forward in the past and have confirmed seeing her near Bartels Trailer Park between 3 and 4 a.m. But two males, reportedly hitchhiking the same stretch of road at about the same time have never spoken to police.

They are described as male, in their late teens, one wearing a ball cap and bomber style jacket, both described as 5’8” to 5’10”, both wearing dark coloured baggy pants, one possibly wearing a green jacket. Several people remembered seeing the teenager at the side of the road in those early morning hours, but for one reason or another, they didn’t pick her up. She never made it home to Bouchie Lake. An exhaustive search netted nothing. Then, Dec. 10, 1999, Deena’s body was discovered by a hunter under a pile of brush near Pinnacles Park. She was murdered. Jim echos the RCMP call out to anyone who might

have seen anything that Saturday night to come forward, especially the two teenage boys believed to have been on North Fraser Drive and possibly spoken to Deena. “If those two guys are still around here, for the love of God, come forward and say something,” Jim passionately pleaded. “People are reluctant to co-operate with police and don’t want to get involved. Some just couldn’t care less. Somebody out there knows something about this.” Jim said he’s thought this through every which way and said he could see almost anyone as the killer. “But that drives you crazy,” he added. “Whoever did this is one cold-hearted son-of-abitch.”

CAPSULE COMMENTS

With Kim B.Sc. (Pharm) We mention exercise a lot in this column but what does it really do for your heart? It improves the health of your blood vessels so they open up and blood flows more freely through your body. It also helps your nervous system reduce your heart rate. Your heart loves you when you exercise. Make it part of your day...every day. Food allergies can occur at any age but most often occur in children under the age of five. The top ten foods that cause allergies are: eggs, milk, mustard, peanuts, seafood, sulphites (preservatives found in dried fruits), sesame, soy, tree nuts, wheat and other gluten-containing grains. The United Nations has a goal to have at least 50% of the world’s newborn babies be breast-fed for at least 6 months by the year 2025. It is well understood that this practice will give the child a better start in life with better nutrition and a stronger immune system. UN experts say that if 100% of all newborns were breastfed for the first six months of life, 800,000 lives could be saved yearly. Sleeping problems can be caused by snoring, sleep apnea, restless legs syndrome, talking during sleep and just inability to sleep through the night. Often this causes problems for the spouse of the person with the sleep disorders. One solution that can help is separate beds or even separate bedrooms. We all need a good night’s sleep and if you feel this could help, give it a try. The people who work in our pharmacy are our greatest asset. Let one of them serve you soon.

Spirit of British Columbia is one of two ferries planned for a refit to LNG fuel.

Contributed photo

Ferries to be converted to use LNG B.C. Ferries is converting its pair of Spirit-class vessels to a dual-fuel system that uses liquefied natural gas, estimated to be half the price of marine diesel. The Spirit of Vancouver Island and Spirit of British Columbia are the workhorses of the Tsawwassen-Swartz Bay run, carrying a quarter of the fleet’s passengers and vehicles and accounting for about 15 per cent of the fuel used. The conversion will be part of their midlife refit, aiming to save $9 million a year in fuel costs for their remaining 27 years of service. It is scheduled to be completed by the spring of 2017. B.C Ferries president Mike Corrigan had previously rejected the idea of LNG conversion, saying it was too costly. BC Ferries awarded contracts this summer for construction of three medium-sized ferries designed for dual fuel. The refits will also include a low-friction

hull coating and modifications to the bow and stern to reduce drag. The refit will include electrical and

passenger service modifications and “increase ancillary services net income,” B.C. Ferries said in a statement.

Transportation Minister Todd Stone announced in February a pilot project to put slot machines on ferries.

BC growth

Quesnel Cariboo Observer

tatistics Canada’s latest population projections do not bode well for B.C.’s future, on a number of counts. The federal agency has B.C. falling to fourth-largest province in the country, with Alberta moving ahead of it to third. This is projected to happen over the next 20 years or so. B.C. will still be growing — but at a lesser rate than Alberta is projected to grow. Perhaps more dramatically though, B.C.’s population of seniors is expected to grow the most, to 27 per cent of the population by 2038. This is a higher-than-usual percentage of seniors, who for the most part will not be working and contributing to long-term economic growth. At the same time, they will put added pressure on the health care system, which already has significant challenges in keeping up with demand. This is not to say that seniors are bad for a province or an economy. It is simply that their needs bring new challenges to an economy which is already hobbled by minimal growth, and to a province where every resource-based proposal is met with a fury of opposition, leading to very few economic growth options coming to fruition. B.C. is already a very expensive place to live. At the same time, few younger people have the opportunity to make really good incomes, and are thus handicapped from getting ahead. Taxes in B.C. are already quite high, which is masked by the sleightof-hand about low income tax rates. However, when the seven per cent PST, ICBC rates, ferry fares, BC Hydro rates (all of which are tax increases), TransLink taxes and MSP premiums are taken into account, taxes are quite onerous on many people already. Low economic growth will inevitably lead to even higher taxes. The provincial government is trying to expand jobs in the province, by working hard to attract LNG plants and at least having an open mind on pipelines, mines and other projects. It meets opposition at almost every turn, and many B.C. residents simply don’t understand economics. B.C. weather and scenery are great, but they don’t pay the bills. –Black Press

Report card time for local politicians

his November, voters will be hiring local politicians for a four-year term, rather than three. It’s a good time to ask some tough questions about the performance of councils on the job they are assigned to do, as opposed to posturing about senior government matters. Remember when it was fashionable for city councils to declare their communities “a nuclear weapons-free zone”? You can still see the signs entering Vancouver and Nanaimo. Alert voters may wonder: “Did they really think we’re that stupid?” Yes, they did. And some of them still do. To illustrate, allow me to introduce my poster child for bad local government, Victoria city councillor Ben Isitt. A long-time NDP activist, Isitt got elected three years ago after raising his name recognition with a couple of runs for mayor. His rookie term has been notable for a series of stunts that extend his career as a professional student, campus radical and occasional history lecturer. One of Isitt’s big studies is the influence of Soviet

Tom Fletcher

B.C. Views communism on the B.C. NDP. He was on one of his visits to Russia earlier this year when President Vladimir Putin was having his way with Crimea. Isitt’s fondness for state control was on display last fall when aboriginal protesters disrupted natural gas drilling in New Brunswick, torching several police vehicles in the process. Isitt took to his Facebook page to decry the federal government’s use of police against the population, and suggested Canada should emulate Venezuela, where petroleum resources benefit the people rather than corporations. Venezuela sells gasoline for nine cents a gallon, the late Hugo Chavez’s gift to his people after nationalizing the oil industry. The capital, Caracas, is

build a retirement home. The dispute centres on aboriginal burial grounds and artifacts, and Isitt appointed himself advocate for the grievances of native people. When the B.C. government didn’t follow his instructions, he demanded that the CRD expropriate the land and evict the owner. Island politics being what it is, this was actually considered before cooler heads prevailed. And how are things with the CRD’s real job while the Isitt circus rolls on? The most over-governed region in B.C. remains locked in a bitter turf war over a federally mandated sewage treatment project, and is on the verge of forfeiting hundreds of millions in provincial funds. So voters should ask themselves a couple of questions this November. Is your council doing the job it was hired to do? And do you trust these individuals with your wallet until the fall of 2018?

famous for extreme poverty, brutally suppressed riots, and a crime rate so bad it ranks among the world’s most dangerous cities. How does Isitt’s political outlook translate to his role in local government? This week local politicians gather in Whistler for the annual Union of B.C. Municipalities convention. One of Isitt’s first contributions a couple of years ago was at a UBCM workshop on how to finance local infrastructure. Isitt proposed setting up a municipal income tax. Presumably this would be on top of property taxes. In its wisdom, Victoria council appointed Isitt as their Capital Regional District representative. In that capacity he led the charge against Canada Post’s decision to wind up door-to-door delivery for the minority of people who aren’t already using community mailboxes. After instructing Ottawa to accelerate the bankruptcy of this Crown corporation, Isitt began ordering the province to intervene in a dispute over Grace Islet, a rocky point off Salt Spring Island where an Alberta man is trying to

It is with great sadness that the family of Catherine C. Halliday announce her sudden passing on September 10th. Catherine was the youngest daughter of Vancouver mayor Charles Cates, born on the same night the Lion’s Gate Bridge opened; November 20th, 1938. In 1971 she and her husband Dennis moved their family of six to Quesnel, where they raised their four children and remained together until his passing in 1995. Catherine was an accomplished pianist and singer, skilled typist, cat lover, and worldly traveller Often expressing fond memories of Newfoundland and England. She had an excellent memory of her adventures in the Cariboo, and often told

stories of the many friendships she forged during her time here. Catherine is survived by her son and three daughters, and four grandchildren, whose fond memories of her will always keep her spirit alive. A tea service to remember Catherine’s life will be held on October 5th at the Baker Creek Community Hall from 1-4pm. In lieu of flowers, please donate to St. Paul’s Hospital or the charity of your choice.

For the past five years, ac&d (Quesnel) Insurance Services Ltd has provided sponsorship for our Report to the Community and a Safe Ride Home from our annual Awards Gala. Sandra Lewis, Manager, does this because she loves community – more specifically, she loves our community. “I am so impressed with how this community steps up to help those in need, with the incredible volunteers, and the generosity of the people who live here.” The first time Sandra attended a QCF awards Gala, she was astonished at the variety of organizations that received grants – health groups, church groups, sports and recreation, arts and culture, social services – all providing programs and services to make our community better. She knew then that she needed to be a part of the Foundation, to help us invest in the future of Quesnel and the groups and organizations that keep us going. Sandra has lived in Quesnel for seven years, and this is her home. “I live here, I shop here, I give here,” she says. “We are all people together, this is our community, and we need to support one another. This is what makes Quesnel such a beautiful place to call home.” For more information on how you can be a part of the Quesnel Community Foundation, visit our website at www.quesnelfoundation.ca or email us at qcf@shaw.ca SUSTAINING PARTNERS

Fire fighters work as a team and each is equally valuable

Proud volunteer

ANNIE GALLANT Observer Reporter

t takes an entire team to fight a fire and Dave Ross is proud to be part of the West Fraser Fire Department team. He joined the department in 2011 out of a sense of community and a desire to learn new skills. For new recruits like Ross, the first three months are a chance to assess their suitability and aptitude for fire fighting and also a chance for the recruit to see if its right for them. With ongoing training, including risk assessment and controlled environment practices, recruits learn what they need to know before ever attending a real call out. Each recruit also acquires their level one first aid. Despite how fire fighting is depicted in the media, the range of fire fighter responsibilities are varied. Ross was quick to add not all of the roles of the fire fighter are risky, in fact many, just as vital as the front line fire fighters, are critical to successful fire fighting but don’t necessarily put the volunteer in the line of the fire. “Many jobs support those on the front line but are just as important and necessary,” he said. “For me, I was okay with all aspects of fire fighting.” Ross also said there are very few instances where fire fighters enter a burning building, “most are fought from the outside.” His first fire call as fire fighter came three months after he completed his training. His pager went off and Ross said he was excited and eager to see what it would be like. “I headed to the fire hall which was maybe eight minutes away, and suited

up,” he said. “When we were on scene it was a chimney fire and we already knew no one was inside the structure.” He was instructed to climb a ladder and with a thermal imaging camera, checked for hot spots. Once down on the ground again, he entered the structure with his superior ensuring there were no other hot spots. With the

The main City Ofcials recruit using LocalWork.ca

situation under control, the fire fighters returned to the fire hall. “Back at the hall there’s still a lot to be done,” he said. “Everything must be cleaned, packed away and put in readiness for the next call out and we usually discuss the event.” He admitted he enjoyed that first fire experience.

“I was happy to help and the residence wasn’t destroyed,” he added. Ross knows his confidence on a call out is certainly largely due to the excellent training by seasoned veterans in his fire hall and the teamwork fostered by everyone. “The experienced fire fighters like our Chief Phil Megyesi, are amazing, they instil a true sense of what it means to be a volunteer and how to be part of a team,” he said. “Our officers are trained to make the tough decisions and I trust them and will do as they tell me to do.” Having attended many call outs since joining the WFVFD, Ross says so far nothing has scared him. “There are certainly things I know will scare me but we are so fortunate in Quesnel to have a training facility where we can practice a wide variety of scenarios,” he said. With the full support of his wife and family, Ross looks forward to continuing to learn and gaining experience and encourages anyone with some time to volunteer to consider fire fighting. “I tell anyone interested in fire fighting to give it a try, see if its right for them,” he said. “You have nothing to lose and everything to gain.” Ross see other opportunities with the West Fraser Fire Department. He’s already taking air brake training so he can drive the fire engine and is considering his Class 1 licence in order to drive the tender. Quesnel has six volunteer fire departments serving the area and each could use more volunteers. If you’re interested in a rewarding volunteer career in fire fighting, contact any one of these departments. Oct. 5 – 11 is Fire Prevention Week.

Fall activities underway at Golden Centre and Senior Centre

Rotary Club Thanks The Rotary Club sponsored a tour to Barkerville. Ruth Scoullar was a participant and sent this report. On a chilly morning Sept. 10 seniors who had previously registered gathered at the Quesnel arena for the annual Rotary Trek to Barkerville. The 120 seniors plus several Rotarians climbed aboard one of two buses for the scenic drive which included seeing a cow moose and her calf. One of the buses carrying walker and caneassisted seniors drove passengers directly to the theatre. The whole experience was most enjoyable – the choice and fare of restaurants for lunch and the pleasure at seeing improvements and addition of another small school and exhibits. To top it all off was the thoroughly enjoyable performance at

Supporting Our Forest Industry

has been a part of the industry for over 60 years and is dedicated to the development of our Forests and our Community.

Biomass – what is it and does West Fraser use it? Y

ou may have heard a lot lately about the future opportunities from the use of “biomass,” however, you might not know what biomass is and what the opportunities are. While biomass can refer to any biological or plant material, the most abundant and available source is what Quesnel’s economy is based on – wood. Woody biomass is quite simply any part of a tree, living or dead. We tend to think of it as more of a left-over available after harvesting (aka “slash”) or by-products created during the manufacture of lumber or plywood such as bark (aka “hog” from debarking), chips (from squaring up a round log), sawdust (from milling) and shavings (from planing the rough, kiln-dried lumber to a finished product). Wood products facilities in Quesnel are integrated and all of the by-products of wood processing are used in town, including at West Fraser’s own five mills that employ 1,300 people and work with more than 500 local business and contractors in this community. For example:

• Wood chips are used by West Fraser’s pulp mills, Quesnel River Pulp and Cariboo Pulp and Paper, to make thousands of tonnes of pulp for paper and paperboard products • Bark and woody debris fuel West Fraser’s biomassdriven energy plant – a 27 megawatt co-generation turbo generator at Cariboo Pulp and Paper and a number of thermal energy plants that kiln dry our lumber, plywood and MDF, pre-heat peeler logs and provide heat to the employees within the mills • Sawdust and wood shavings supplied to WestPine make medium density fibreboard (MDF), a highend panel product that is manufactured into highquality furniture, millwork and cabinetry • West Fraser also provides trim blocks to a local manufacturer to make finger joint lumber West Fraser’s pulp mills in Quesnel require more chips than are available from local sawmills, so we harvest pulp logs (logs that do not meet sawlog standards) and purchase chips which

maximizes all of the fibre available in the forests within the area. What little fibre remains at roadside within harvested forests is available for people to cut for firewood or for pellet plants to grind up and consume in their facilities, two of which are located within 45km of Quesnel. West Fraser is also exploring exciting future uses for biomass in new potential bioproducts. The company has established a team of bioproducts professionals in Quesnel to research and develop new opportunities to make the most out of every fibre. It’s important to recognize that the forest products companies in Quesnel are making use of all available fibre produced in the area that may once have been considered waste. Local businesses rely heavily on each other to maximize the use of forest biomass as well as their own profitability. Every part of a log has a home in Quesnel, a valuable use and employs friends and family throughout our wonderful community.

FORESTRY WEEK - Sept. 21-27

ELECTRICAL SUPPLIES This year’s theme for Forestry Week is Sunrise in the Forest.

Canadian Forestry photo

Sunrise in the Forest

ational Forestry Week is Sept. 21 – 27 with this year’s theme Sunrise in the Forest. The theme recognizes: A new day is dawning across Canada’s forests – one with great opportunity and great rewards. Today’s forestry is high-tech, diverse, innovative and green. Be part of the responsible stewardship of our most important renewable resource. Wake up to a career in the forest sector – where bright minds make the future brilliant. Established circa 1920 as Forest Fire Prevention Week, the intention was to encourage greater public awareness towards Canada’s forests. At the time, there was no apparent shortage of trees for industrial expansion – the greatest threat came from forest fires, due mainly to human causes. Since then, National Forest Week, as it was renamed in 1967, has evolved to encompass the many and varied human and environmental aspects of Canada’s forest resources – past, present and future. 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. National Forest Week is observed annually during the last full week of September, Sunday through Saturday. National Tree Day is observed on the Wednesday of National Forest Week. “As the Minister of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations, I look forward to celebrating National Forest Week. “This year’s theme, Sunrise in the Forest, not only speaks to the natural beauty of B.C.’s forests, but the resiliency of the forest sector. Since the downturn of 2009, B.C.’s forest economy has been steadily recovering. From 2009 – 2013, timber harvesting has increased 47 per cent, the value of B.C.’s forest product exports increased by 53 per cent to a total of $11.6 billion and employment increased by 13 per cent providing 58,000 direct jobs throughout the province. “In 2009, government introduced the Wood First Act to require that wood be considered as a primary building material in public sector construction and 53 local governments, have

followed suit by adopting Wood First bylaws, policies or resolutions of their own. Changes to the BC Building Code in 2009 increasing the maximum height of wood frame residential construction from four storeys to six, has translated into over 200 midrise buildings completed or under construction. “To ensure we have forests for future generations to enjoy, companies are legally required to reforest the areas they harvest. While an average of 200 million seedlings are planted each year, in 2014, we managed to plant over 240 million. We manage our forests for 11 different values, including provisions for wildlife habitat, cultural heritage, biodiversity and recreation. “The provincial National Forest Week coalition has also produced a Tree Identification App. It will be available for download from www.abcfp. ca on Sept. 23, 2014. The app provides photos and information on every native tree found in B.C., and also allows you to take photos and record notes and GPS the location of your favourite trees! “I encourage you to take the time to enjoy and learn more about B.C.’s forests this National Forest Week.”

It’s a swing and a hit for Quesnel Fembots WHITNEY GRIFFITHS Observer Reporter It’s second place for the second year in a row for the Fembots, Quesnel’s ladies slow-pitch team. The Fembots took on provincials in Vernon, B.C. Aug. 30 – Sept. 1. It was a rocky start for the team with coach Darren Joly being called into work the day the team was travelling to Vernon for the competition. Although it was a great disappointment for the team that Joly would be unable to attend, Gary Perry stepped up to the plate and help coach the team all the way to the finals, commented Fembot Carol Lettington. At last year competition the Fembots placed second in the D division. This year’s the team moved up the ranks into the C division and were met with success.

It was tough competition, taking a lot of hard work and dedication if they had any hope of success but the Quesnel’s ladies were up to the challenge. The team was going strong as they entered the

finals, with five wins and no losses. “After a great run, our bats went flat in the final game and we placed second,” said Lettington. “But our ladies played their hearts out, some with injuries. These ladies

have a lot of heart, love for the game and love and respect for each other. We have been together for about six years.” It was a triumphant way to finish the season. The team received overwhelming community

support for many of their various events over the years. The team members send thanks to the community of Quesnel, “we wanted to thank all of our sponsors and all the people of Quesnel

who supported our fundraising events and all the people who offered us the DDriving events and other fund-raising jobs.” Even as the weather changes and the season comes to a close, the Fembots are still hard at work in anticipation ofanother exciting year. The Quesnel ladies will be attending the 2015 National in Niagara July 31 – Aug. 4. The team will be fundraising throughout the winter to help with the cost of attending the event. The team is planning on serval fundraisers, including DDriving for Christmas parties and any other functions that are in need of drivers to make sure everyone can get home safely. For information or to sponsor the Fembots contact Carrie Johnson at 250-991-8673 or Cherie Mailloux at 250-9835539.

Whether you are hitting the field or taking to the stage, Emma Jarrett is inviting you to improve the way you move. “Imagine you love to ski but your body struggles with the chair lift,” Jarrett explains. “You love to skate but your legs are achey; you’re getting into yoga but you’re frustrated with your body’s flexibility. No matter what your job, your passion, your game – your body is a tool and your brain is either working for or against you.” Jarrett takes a different approach to coaching, working with individuals in the performing arts as well as athletics. This approach can be used in daily life as well. Jarrett was trained in England and certified to teach the Interactive Teaching Method. This method is based on the work of F.M. Alexander. With performance coaching Jarrett hopes to help individuals use their bodies by getting better at using their brains, combining physical performance ad mental skills. It is a way to break out of the habits we have created and work around selfimposed limitations. “People come to see me and have their habitual ways called into question,” Jarrett said. By discussion and by a hands-on teaching element, Jarrett helps to determine what is a necessary in your movements and performance and which areas of your body you have unnecessarily tensed. It’s a process of unlearning habits and learning to approach things differently. “You don’t need more things to do,” Jarrett said, “more stretches, bigger workout or deeper
