June 24, at approximately 4:40 p.m., the Quesnel RCMP received calls from two separate residents in the Uplands neighbourhood of Quesnel reporting a male entering their homes.
In the first instance, two young children were home and the male entered the residence through an unlocked rear door.
The suspect was startled when he saw the house was occupied and fled on a bicycle.
In the second instance the male was interrupted by the resident coming home and the suspect was seen fleeing the area on a bicycle.
Upon police attendance the suspect was no longer in the area. With the assistance of the public, police were able to locate and apprehend the suspect in West Quesnel.
The male was charged with two counts of breaking and entering a residence and one count of possession of a controlled substance.
The 42-year-old Quesnel resident, who is well known by the police with a history of property related offences, was subsequently held in custody and will be making his next court appearance on July 15.
The suspect did not get any valuables, cause any property damage or harm anyone.
With the hot summer weather upon us, the Quesnel RCMP would like to remind the public to ensure their doors and windows are locked and remain secure even when they are inside their homes to prevent similar instances from occurring.

The Cariboo Regional District (CRD) Board of Directors endorsed a resolution from the North Cariboo Joint Planning Committee (NCJPC) to award the contract of prime consultant for the North Cariboo Arena Replacement Project to CEI Architecture.
The pre-referendum Request for Proposals indicated that “it is the Owner’s intention that should the referendum be successful, negotiations with the successful proponent for full design services/prime consultant will immediately take place, with a view to contract signing and moving forward with the work immediately following the referendum.”
A total of nine architectural firms submitted proposals.
As prime consultant, CEI Architecture will be responsible for co-ordination of the architectural, structural, mechanical, refrigeration, electrical design, as well as civil engineering and site development and landscaping. They will be responsible for providing design and engineered documents and for ensuring code compliance.
CEI will also be responsible for interior design including furniture layout and circulation, integration of conservation and green building technology, building envelope design, the demolition of Arena 1 and the integration
of Arena 2 into the overall site-plan. Construction of the project will begin in April, 2015, while substantial completion is scheduled for September, 2016.
“We were pleased with the pre-referendum work that CEI completed for us, given the rather tight time constraints they were under,” CRD Vice-Chair Ted Armstrong said.
“We look forward to working with them on the next phase of this project, and are expecting the same excellent service we received from this firm during the pre-referendum design stage.”
“We are extremely pleased that CEI Architecture will continue to work with our
community with respect to the design for our new arena,” Mayor Mary Sjostrom said.
“The design work previously done by CEI Architecture provides a great level of confidence in their ability to engage with the community and develop a sound design for Quesnel.”
Staff are continuing to work with the architect to update and revise their work plan.
The CRD and the City of Quesnel, in collaboration with CEI will be undertaking another design charrette (consultation) process July 21 and 22, 2014.
Further details about next steps and consultation sessions will be announced soon.

Farewell to Dr. John Havens After 50 years with G.R. Baker memorial hospital it is time for Dr. John Havens to say good-bye. Dr. Havens is an avid cyclist who often bikes to and from work and on this final day he was joined by Jill and Trish Simpson in celebration of his retirement. The sun was shin-ning on these riders as Dr. Havens left work for the last time. There were many other friends and family members who were hoping to join in the ride but scheduling conflicts kept them away. From left to right: Jill Simpson, Trish Simpson and Dr. John Havens.

Struggling with the challenges of providing care to someone with dementia from a distance?
Local family caregivers can get help from a free tele-workshop offered by the non-profit Alzheimer Society of B.C.
Called Long Distance Caregiving, the Tuesday, July 15 tele-workshop offers strategies to better cope with the situation, including assessing needs, identifying resources, maximizing visits and sharing responsibilities with others.
More than 70,000 people in the province – many of them in the local area – live with dementia, and that number is increasing dramatically as the population ages.
The tele-workshop starts at 7 p.m.
Connecting to the sessions is as easy as phoning toll-free 1-866-994-7745, then entering pass code 1122333 when prompted, or visiting momentum.adobeconnect.
com/alzheimerbc and entering as a Guest to listen to and view the presentation online at the same time.
Tele-workshops are learning sessions designed for family caregivers, but are also open to health-care providers.
Recognizing that many caregivers are unable to attend in-person workshops, the sessions can be accessed by telephone and online (optional). Participants can ask questions and share with others who are in similar situations.
For more information about other upcoming tele-workshops or to view shortened recordings of past sessions go to www.alzheimerbc.org/We-Can-Help/Telephone-Workshops.aspx.
For more information on Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias, which affect one in 11 Canadians over the age of 65, visit the Society website at www.alzheimerbc.org.

With Kim B.Sc. (Pharm)The Sun Protection Factor (SPF) is a number on sunscreen labels to indicate the relative sun protection the product gives. If you normally burn in 5 minutes without sunscreen, using a SPF 30 product will give you 150 minutes of protection. An SPF of 50 will give you 250 minutes of protection.Whatever sunscreen you use, be sure to apply it about a half hour before sun exposure and reapply, especially after swimming and sweating. Also apply enough...about a teaspoonful for each leg and also the same amount for each of your chest, stomach and back and half-tsp each on arm, face, neck and ears.It’s sad to read stories of someone dying from a preventable disease. Meningitis is one of those. There is a vaccine available and the Centre for Disease Control recommends it be given to all children 11-18. Good personal hygiene is important as well as not sharing food, drink containers, utensils, towels and cosmetics. Regular hand-washing is also important.Speaking of immunization and prevention of disease, a recent analysis of the global economic effects of immunization shows that vaccinating our children saves billions in future direct and indirect costs to healthcare. As well, it saves over 42,000 lives and over 20 million cases of disease yearly. Vaccination works.Our pharmacists are knowledgeable about vaccines available to prevent disease.

The Supreme Court of Canada’s decision upholding aboriginal title in the Nemiah Valley in B.C.’s Southern Interior has major implications for provincial government policy, and the most immediate may be to forest licences.
The ruling comes as the B.C. government considers the results of a province-wide consultation on converting volume-based timber cutting permits to area-based permits, to encourage longer-term forest stewardship by licence holders on Crown land.
About 40 per cent of B.C.’s timber is harvested under 180 volume-based forests licences on Crown land. Private land is not subject to these licences, and was also excluded from the Tsilhqot’in Nation aboriginal title case that struck down a forest harvest licence issued in 1983.
B.C. Attorney General Suzanne Anton said it will take some time for the province to consider amending
the Forest Act and other legislation that has been affected by the decision.
More than 90% of B.C. is Crown land, and much of that is subject to forest licences as well as unresolved aboriginal land claims.
In the Tsilhqot’in territory west of Williams Lake, the high court’s landmark ruling clarified the effect of aboriginal title.
“Now that title has been established [in the Tsilhqot’in claim area], the timber on it no longer falls within the definition of ‘Crown timber’ and the Forest Act no longer applies,” wrote Chief Justice Beverley McLachlin in the unanimous judgment released June 26.
McLachlin wrote that the B.C. government can still enforce “general regulatory legislation” such as that dealing with pest invasions or forest fire control in areas of proven aboriginal title. But a timber licence in such an area is “a direct transfer of aboriginal property rights to a third party” that would have to be agreed to
by aboriginal title holders or justified as an intrusion of their constitutional rights.
The judgment left it open to the B.C. government to amend the Forest Act so it conforms with aboriginal title as it is declared. In recent years the province has begun
negotiating resource sharing agreements with aboriginal communities, including forest tenures and shares of provincial royalties from mines.
Two weeks before the Tsilhqot’in judgment, the B.C. government announced a three-
year “stewardship agreement” with five Tsilhqot’in member communities.
The province is providing $670,000 per year for projects to address forest and wildlife effects from the mountain pine beetle epidemic in the region.
Aboriginal title upsets B.C. forest policy
Forest products are mostly harvested from Crown land in B.C., subject to aborigi-nal title over large areas of the province.

Happy birthday
Yesterday (July 1) was Canada’s 147th birthday and for most of the past 147
years, it has been respectful of other countries and of its wide variety of people, who come from widely disparate backgrounds and traditions.There are some significant
exceptions, however, which must be stated up front. Canada has done a generally poor job in maintaining good relations with the aboriginal people who were here before any immigrants arrived. For the first 100 years of our independence, there were ongoing efforts to assimilate them, take away their land, unique cultures and heritage, and subjugate them.It is only in recent years that more
Canadians have started to appreciate the unique perspective that First Nations people bring to this country. Here in B.C., where we have a wide variety of very different First Nations groups, most of whom have no treaties, First Nations issues are front and centre, as was demonstrated on Thursday by a Supreme Court of Canada decision on aboriginal title, brought forward by the Tsilhqot’in Nation.The other blot on our history comes
in the treatment of Asians, particularly the Japanese during the Second World War. While there have been apologies and financial settlements, that aspect of our history is a shameful one, as were the discriminatory tactics used to keep out prospective immigrants from China and India.What Canada does do well, however,
is to learn from our mistakes. This country has always been a grouping of different people. In 1867, it was the aboriginal people, those of French and British backgrounds.Since then, people came to help
populate our wide-open spaces from all over the world. At first, most came from Europe and the United States. There were also early settlers of Chinese and Japanese backgrounds. In the past 50 years, the doors have been opened wider for people from all over.Together, these diverse peoples
have forged a country respectful of religions, traditions and cultures; committed to fight injustices; economically strong and well-positioned — and one of the best places in the world to live.Happy Birthday, Canada.
The Supreme Court of Canada’s landmark decision
on aboriginal title held by the Tsilhqot’in Nation leaves many questions to be answered.
Perhaps the biggest is this: Will British Columbia exist as we know it today by the end of this century? Or will it devolve into dozens of semi-autonomous regions, through treaties or similar court actions, as the only Canadian province that never completed historic treaties?
The Tsilhqot’in decision appears to uphold the key finding of the 2007 trial, that 1,700 square kilometres of the Nemiah Valley west of Williams Lake are essentially owned by the people who occupied it hundreds if not thousands of years ago.
It’s not quite ownership. Federal and provincial jurisdiction still applies, and their authority varies with the strength of the aboriginal title claim.
Chief Justice Beverley McLachlin ruled that the province overstepped its authority by issuing logging permits in the valley in 1983. McLachlin noted that lawyers for B.C. first
argued that the logging was to control mountain pine beetle, then dropped that argument in its first appeal.
She also upheld the decision of the trial judge, one-time NDP leadership contender David Vickers, who rejected B.C.’s position that the economic value of the timber to the province overrode the then-vaguely defined aboriginal title.
Here’s McLachlin’s definition:
“The nature of aboriginal title is that it confers on the group that holds it the exclusive right to decide how land is used and the right to benefit from those uses, subject to the restriction that the uses must be consistent with the group nature of the interest and the enjoyment of the land by future generations.”
That’s not land ownership in the fee-simple sense of the
term. It locks in communal ownership, which I and many others have argued is at the root of the poverty seen in many aboriginal communities.
Another big question: Is there any future for B.C.’s 20-year-old treaty process, or will this precedent-setting case send more First Nations to court, or to the barricades as the Tsilhqot’in did on a logging road in 1983?
One of the unique advantages that have emerged from the handful of modern treaties in B.C. is that aboriginal communities have more options in land ownership. By voluntary agreement, they can convert land to fee-simple ownership, making it available for mortgage or sale. Modern treaty holders also get out from under the federal Indian Act, which remains in force despite this latest decision.
One of the big questions asked in the days after the Tsilhqot’in decision was this: Is the Northern Gateway pipeline project dead?
None of the aboriginal communities along the pipeline route has this kind of declared aboriginal title.
Few if any would have a similar strength of claim as the Tsilhqot’in, who fought a small war to defend their territory from a wave of gold seekers in the 1860s.
One that does is the Haida Nation, whose occupation of a beautiful group of islands was long defended militarily, and never challenged by any other aboriginal group.
Among others, the Haida Nation was represented in the Tsilhqot’in case as interveners.
Council of the Haida Nation president Peter Lantin said after the decision that his team is preparing its own aboriginal title case for trial.
Few doubt that this assertion of title will be successful, either by negotiation or court ruling. But there is a unique aspect to the Haida claim that would set another precedent.
They claim title to the ocean around Haida Gwaii, a challenge to anyone wishing to sail tankers through.

As science progresses the findings of life
around us becomes more astounding.
A study of whales has progressed to where there is a movement that wants to raise whales to the human status.
Science found out there is a very strong family connection among whales as well as a strong connection with the clan that whales belong to. A clan is made up of a certain amount of families.
The clans gather at traditional places and sing songs. These are just a few examples of the study. Crows have been studied in several countries around the world. The
reason was to see if the crows reacted in the same way around the world. This study concluded that crows also have a strong family life and mourn their dead.
Again their family relationship is very close to that of humans and they train their young for an exceptional long time. Crows also train their young to recognize places and faces of humans who
are dangerous. Crows make a forked tool from branches they strip and cut to length to get at a certain food. A test was conducted where a crow was placed in a large room in which there were several smaller cages at each end.
The cage on one end contained a thin five inch long stick and a cage at the opposite end a forked tool needed to get at food, it did not take the crow long to pick up the stick at one end and use it to scrape the forked tool within reach. Some people still think that animals act only by instinct.
I don’t know how that is possible when one takes the time to observe
or study them. The legendary friendship between a polar bear and a Inuit sleigh dog is well recorded by the National Geographic magazine.
The friendship between a young elephant and a sheep, who were inseparable has been recorded and shown on TV. One example that I thought was remarkable was the friendship between a Labrador dog and a donkey. When the donkey was the same size as the dog , they roughhoused and ran together, but when the donkey grew to full size, roughhousing was not possible anymore.
Then one day the dog came to the donkey with a stick in his mouth and
started to jump around and tease the donkey to try and get the stick. The donkey just stood there and watched his friend go through his antics. But when the dog dropped the stick the donkey picked up the stick, prevented the dog from getting it and then ran around with the stick in his mouth and the game was on.
One of the last examples I like to mention is a news item on TV.
A little boy was sitting down in his yard when attacked by a large dog who started to maul him. Out of nowhere came the house cat running full speed into the dog clawing, biting and snarling.
The dog took off and the
boy only needed stitches on his arms.
That story could have ended very different without that brave house cat.
Then there is the dog who swims with his dolphin friend in the harbour. The dog knows when his friend is in the harbour so he jumps in the water and swims around with his friend.
I think these examples are enough to show that animals are not living by just instinct but are capable of deep friendships with other species. I believe these friendships also include love.

This is a little story about my father, Roddy Roy Moffat and his One Mile Foot Race
on Dominion Day, 1914 (now called Canada Day.)
On the � rst of July, back in the good old days, the Village of Quesnel gathered in LeBourdais Park for a panic; fun and games for everybody. They didn’t have ferris wheels and stuff like that, but they did have foot races for all ages and the big feature was the horse races.
In later years, a committee of volunteers arranged all the events. There was boxing on Friday night and a big dance in the Rex Theatre on Saturday night.
Jim Donnelly, a well-to-do prominent citizen, was in charge of the foot and horse races and Scotty Mitchell was in charge of the horse billeting; and they even had parti-mutuels. They ran six or seven races in the course of the day and people could lay their money down and bet on their favourite steed.
They came from Kamloops, Wallachin, Williams Lake, Chilcotin, Cluskus; some taking two or three days to get here. There were 20 stalls up where the curling rink parking lot is now and the rest of the visitors and their horses were billeted out around town. It was a two-day event and the competition was very
keen. Lots of locals had thoroughbreds. Nellie Baker, who had her own racetrack at the G.R. Baker farm (where Cariboo Pulp is now) had four good racers, well trained; and the Twans, Willy, Allan and Dave and the Websters were competition to be reckoned with. The Frizzy’s came all the way from the Chilcotin and Rita Cunningham, a similar minded lady to Nellie, brought three or four thoroughbreds.
But let’s get back to the footrace. My dad was born in 1891 at Alexandria, so he would have been 23. He loved to run; in fact all the Moffats were known around town as fast runners. The Moffat ranch was two miles from the Windt ranch. When dad was courting my mother, Ella Windt, he would run the two miles to visit and being hot and sweaty, would throw himself in the horse trough and then carry on courting, wet and cool. When July 1 race time came, my dad was in great condition and Jimmy Donnelly knew
that. The foot race track in LeBourdais Park was half a mile and the race was set for one mile, two times around. Jimmy had a few nickels to spare and he brought in two professional runners from the coast just to beat Moffat. Nevertheless, the big money was on Roddy Moffat and Jimmy was taking all bets. I have an old grainy pictures of Roddy
Moffat breaking the � nish line ribbon, with the next competitor so far back that he can hardly be seen.
Also in they picture is my grandfather throwing his bowler hat about 20 feet in the air. I think Jimmy said good-bye to more than a few nickels that day. His winning prize was a gold locket with an embedded diamond and suitably engraved. Ironically, Jimmy Donnelly was the sponsor. They said that dad could run the mile in four minutes, eight seconds. That was pretty good for a farmer in bare feet.
Twenty years later – July 1, 1934Ronny Moffat’s One Mile Race (son of
Roddy Moffat)This may sound familiar. Ronny was
18 at the time. Schooling was over and he was exiled to the ranch at Alexandria, where he ran the mile to the highway and back. On race day, July 1, at LeBourdais Park, Ronny showed up at the start line, along with other local lads as well as a couple of professional racers from the coast, all dressed up in suits and track shoes. Ronny said, “I never felt so embarrassed. There I was in my boots and blue jeans and I was going to race against those city slickers. So I took off my boots and hat and ran the race in my socks and blue jeans.” Just prior to the race, Ronny’s dad, Roddy and Cliff Johnson had taken him up to Cliff’s house where he was treated to a good shot of whiskey (for courage.) Ronny won, of course. Ronnie passed away at the age of 94 in October 2010. I have a silver cup, engraved “One Mile Race, Champion of the Cariboo, 1934, won by Ronald Henry Moffat.”
LeBourdais Park was the home of the Quesnel Dominion Day picnic and races for many years, until the races moved to Williams Lake which became the Williams Lake Stampede, but that’s another story.

Like horses running free across the lands in the early days of the Chil-cotin region, pilots likely experience the same feeling of freedom as they maneuver through clouds and power to speeds that cannot be described.
Clarence E. Moore soloed for the � rst time 61 years ago and since then has led a life straight out of the old westerns.
Aptly named, Chilcotin Cowboys in Airplanes is homage to those adven-tures; taking his readers to the interior outback of B.C. where he faced off against a moose (and won) and chased cows from the cockpit, inches off the ground.
Did you dream of being a commer-cial pilot when you were a kid? Moore exposes his readers to the gritty lifestyle of a bush pilot and crushes the stereotype of luxury that follows airline pilots, all the while providing laughs in the process. Take a wild ride with this Cariboo type as you explore what it takes to be a commercial pilot in rough Cowboy Country Canada.
Clarence E. Moore’s Chilcotin Cowboys in Airplanes, now published by Friesen Press, is about the lumps, bumps and humorous happenings in the everyday life of a commercial pilot, sometimes pilot of a different name.
His many pilot hats include: bush pilot, executive pilot, freight hauler
pilot, chasing cows pilot, hauling government agent’s pilot, working with RCMP pilot, hauling doctors and nurses pilot. Clarence is the real high-� ying deal, a pilot to the aspiring pilots in us all.
Chilcotin Cowboys in Airplanes is available for order from FriesenPress.com/bookstore, Amazon and most other major book retailers. The eBook edition is available for order for the Kindle, Barnes and Noble’s Nook, iTunes and GooglePlay.

This Cessna T210 Centurion is Clarence Moore’s commuter aircraft. Top cruising speed is 200mph but he prefers to be a little late and save a lot of fuel at 185 mph. The plane seats six with the pilot and is owned by two companies. Moore flies for moving crews, parts and big wigs. Moore first soloed in 1953 and holds an active commercial license since 1958.

Raising $389.30 in the past two and a half months for
BC Children's Hospital; a young Quesnel student is learning the importance volunteering, donating and helping raise awareness to BC Children's Hospital.
As Jaden Sull was preparing to celebrate her eighth birthday with her family and friends, she was asked a simple question by parents Archie and Balj Sul, "for your birthday, would you like presents or make a donation to BC Children's Hospital?"
Jadens immediate response without hesitation was inspiring."I want to donate to BC Children's Hospital."
For the Sull family, BC Children's Hospital has played a significant role in their lives as Jaden has spent time there in the past two years being treated for her seizures/epilepsy.
Jaden felt the opportunity to give
back is important and worthwhile because of the positive impact that BC Children's hospital had on her.
Once Jaden planned to donate her birthday funds and allowance back to the hospital that cared for her, she went to work on finding ways to raise more funds for the hospital.
The first fundraiser she did was creating rainbow looms which she sold by donation at Quesnel Junior Secondary (QJS) office with secretary Stacey Gilbert.
Jaden hand made all the rainbow looms and placed the coloured loom bracelets at QJS.
Secondly, Jaden received a donation box from a
student of Greg Gerichs Grade 9 QJS woodwork class that had spent time at BC Children's Hospital as a child.
The student used a scrap box and sanded it down and put a hole at the top for donations.
After labelling, decorating and placing the Cycling 530 newspaper article on it the box was placed at Bliss Coffee.
Thirdly, Jaden has been learning the importance of being involved in the community.
Not only has Jaden been active with her own fundraising, she's recently been working side by side learning from her mom and dad as they have been fundraising through a samosa fundraiser and raffle ticket sales and much more for Cycling 530 BC Children's Hospital cycling event.
Jaden is not only learning the importance of giving back, but most importantly learning about sharing values
that are important to her family.
Despite living with epilepsy Jaden is an active child who loves school; especially reading and math and can be found participating in TaeKwonDo, golf, soccer, cycling and hip hop dance.
Jadens summer plans include accompanying her mom, and at times cycling beside her dad next week as he will be cycling from Quesnel to Whistler to Vancouver to BC Children's Hospital.
Quesnel Cycling is Rob Gardner and Armajit (Archie) Sull. They are riding to Whistler this summer to raise funds for the B.C. Children’s hospital.

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22Virgo, you may think your intentions are obvious to others, but sometimes you send mixed signals. You may have to be more concise to achieve your desired results.
