4 - QUESNEL CARIBOO OBSERVER. TUESDAY. FEBRUARY 9. 1982<br />
B.C. Winter Games. <strong>Quesnel</strong> R C M P reported<br />
A l l <strong>the</strong> hundreds of absolutely no problems at all<br />
volunteers kept <strong>the</strong> athletes with <strong>the</strong> 2,000 or so visitors to<br />
moving from event to event, <strong>the</strong> city, as revelry was kept to<br />
The<br />
Just because it hasn't been<br />
mentioned for a little while<br />
shouldn't mean that <strong>the</strong> issue<br />
has been accepted and forgot<br />
ten.<br />
The matter of <strong>the</strong> <strong>Cariboo</strong><br />
Regional <strong>District</strong> rotating its<br />
meetings in <strong>the</strong> three major<br />
<strong>Cariboo</strong> communities on an<br />
equal basis, that is.<br />
Almost exactly a year ago,<br />
<strong>Quesnel</strong> city council passed a<br />
motion asking <strong>the</strong> C R D to<br />
rotate its meetings equally bet<br />
ween <strong>the</strong> region's three<br />
municipalities.<br />
The C R D , true to form,<br />
turned <strong>the</strong> request down.<br />
But since <strong>the</strong>n, <strong>the</strong> city<br />
council has been very quiet on<br />
<strong>the</strong> matter, being more oc<br />
cupied (distracted?) with<br />
<strong>Cariboo</strong> Centre rezoning and<br />
o<strong>the</strong>r matters.<br />
Directors of surrounding<br />
electoral areas have rolled<br />
over and are playing dead on<br />
<strong>the</strong> issue. With that kind of at<br />
titude, it's no wonder little<br />
progress has been made.<br />
We're not that much into<br />
<strong>the</strong> new year yet, and pressure<br />
should he hrousht to hc*ir on<br />
lit I il lit t i i) tti '\<br />
easy way out<br />
and vocally advocate that at<br />
least four monthly meetings<br />
be held in <strong>Quesnel</strong> every year<br />
by <strong>the</strong> regional district board.<br />
Businesses and individuals<br />
should at least privately lobby<br />
<strong>the</strong>ir representatives, and civic<br />
groups should forcefully be<br />
heard in letters to <strong>the</strong> editor<br />
and in letters to <strong>the</strong> board<br />
about <strong>the</strong> lack of a presence of<br />
<strong>the</strong> C R D in this city.<br />
Out of sight, out of mind. It<br />
simply must not happen.<br />
<strong>the</strong> participants.<br />
Over all, <strong>the</strong> wea<strong>the</strong>rman<br />
was reasonably co-operative,<br />
except for opening<br />
ceremonies, when snow fell as<br />
<strong>the</strong> torch was lit.<br />
It is impossible to single out<br />
<strong>the</strong> hundreds of individuals,<br />
both known and unknown,<br />
who did <strong>the</strong>ir little bit to make<br />
<strong>the</strong> Nor<strong>the</strong>rn Winter Games in<br />
<strong>Quesnel</strong> <strong>the</strong> resounding suc<br />
cess that it was.<br />
But. know that thousands of<br />
nor<strong>the</strong>rn athletes and<br />
residents will remember for a<br />
long, long time <strong>the</strong> genuine<br />
hospitality, friendliness, and<br />
good time that <strong>the</strong>y experienc<br />
ed in <strong>Quesnel</strong> in February,<br />
1982.<br />
Not very poplar<br />
"It says here that Keith Blackwell<br />
is grinding up poplar trees- and<br />
feeding <strong>the</strong> mash to cows," I said<br />
without looking up.<br />
Gramp Wiley and I usually read<br />
our morning papers toge<strong>the</strong>r. One<br />
of our unwritten rules is that we can<br />
comment on what we're reading<br />
without expecting or hearing an<br />
answer.<br />
That's why I was surprised and<br />
somewhat annoyed when Gramp<br />
dropped his paper on <strong>the</strong> floor and<br />
asked to see <strong>the</strong> column I had just<br />
started to read.<br />
He studied <strong>the</strong> story for ten<br />
minutes or so before he nodded in<br />
agreement with himself and said, "I<br />
wondered how long it would be<br />
before that caught on." *<br />
"I've never heard of feeding cows<br />
wood mash, Gramp. I thought it<br />
was something new."<br />
"Daow," said Gramp. "My Uncle<br />
Ern fed Maggie The Cow poplar<br />
before <strong>the</strong> First World War."<br />
"He discovered it by accident.<br />
Made Maggie a tie-up in <strong>the</strong> barn<br />
out of small green poplar poles.<br />
Within two days she'd chewed <strong>the</strong><br />
tie-up down to her knees. When he<br />
realized he'd never seen so much<br />
thick rich milk before, he started<br />
feeding her poplar poles as a steady<br />
diet."<br />
"But, like so many o<strong>the</strong>r men<br />
who have a good thing, Uncle Ern<br />
wanted to make it better. He could<br />
€5 JUS<br />
h<br />
Jfumble<br />
Robert Skoglund<br />
see that all <strong>the</strong> time Maggie was<br />
wasting in chewing up <strong>the</strong> stick<br />
could have been used in producing<br />
more milk."<br />
"That's probably why <strong>the</strong>y grind<br />
it up into mash," I said.<br />
"Well, <strong>the</strong>re's o<strong>the</strong>r good reasons<br />
why cows shouldn't gnaw on <strong>the</strong><br />
raw log."<br />
"Uncle Ern, who could do most<br />
anything, made Maggie a first class<br />
set of case-hardened steel teeth.<br />
They worked so well she was soon<br />
eating half her weight in wood every<br />
day."<br />
"The only drawback was that <strong>the</strong><br />
younger children were afraid to help<br />
out with barn chores—she looked<br />
and sounded terrible when she was<br />
eating. Even Uncle Ern took to<br />
wearing safety goggles when he was<br />
around her for fear of getting a flying<br />
splinter in his eye."<br />
"That's why <strong>the</strong>y grind it into<br />
mash today?" I persisted.<br />
"No. When you fit a cow with<br />
steel teeth <strong>the</strong>y undergo a serious<br />
to SO<br />
personality change—an identity<br />
crisis."<br />
"It didn't take Maggie long to<br />
discover she could bite right through<br />
a barbed wire fence like it was candy.<br />
Uncle Ern said he could have lived<br />
with that, but one afternoon <strong>the</strong>y<br />
found her out in <strong>the</strong> woods, gnawing<br />
down poplar trees, and trying to<br />
dam up <strong>the</strong> brook."<br />
While I was still thinking about<br />
that, Gramp continued.<br />
"When fall came Maggie started<br />
to drive deer. That's when Uncle<br />
Ern knew he'd have to take some<br />
kind of action."<br />
"He hated to lose her, for he'd<br />
discovered that if he poured her<br />
cream out in a large flat pan, when<br />
it set up he could sell it for particle<br />
board.<br />
"But <strong>the</strong> neighbors were telling<br />
<strong>the</strong>ir kids that if <strong>the</strong>y were bad,<br />
Maggie The Cow would get <strong>the</strong>m.<br />
And Uncle Ern was afraid that even<br />
if <strong>the</strong>y were good, perhaps Maggie<br />
The Cow would get <strong>the</strong>m. So he<br />
finally butchered her."<br />
"I'll bet a cow that lived on<br />
poplar tasted like one of those fast<br />
food hamburgers," I said.<br />
"Well, I don't know," confessed<br />
Gramp. "I wasn't <strong>the</strong>re. But I heard<br />
tell instead of <strong>the</strong> 600 pounds of<br />
meat <strong>the</strong>y'd expected. They ended<br />
up sawing her into enough two-byfours<br />
to frame up a new summer kitchen."<br />
The Crow rates must be revised<br />
By Bruce Pepper<br />
President<br />
Vancouver Board of Trade<br />
Wouldn't it be great if we could<br />
still pay nineteenth-century prices<br />
for <strong>the</strong> things we want today? It<br />
seems a very good idea but probably<br />
an impossible dream.<br />
<strong>the</strong> service and facilities <strong>the</strong>y know<br />
are necessary.<br />
While <strong>the</strong>y have been losing approximately<br />
a million dollars per<br />
day in grain-handling for years,<br />
<strong>the</strong>ir ability to cope, and to avoid a<br />
capacity crunch, is coming to an<br />
end.<br />
one? No, but we are sure that this is.<br />
not a problem to be solved by <strong>the</strong><br />
band-aid help to <strong>the</strong> railways from a<br />
deficit-ridden federal government.<br />
A lasting solution must be sought<br />
through <strong>the</strong> co-operation of <strong>the</strong><br />
railroads, <strong>the</strong> grain producers and<br />
<strong>the</strong> government.<br />
A revision of <strong>the</strong> Crow Rate is<br />
vital. Our railways must be made<br />
commercially viable. If this causes a<br />
large rate increase for <strong>the</strong> grainproducers,<br />
so be it.<br />
Any subsides needed for <strong>the</strong> hauling<br />
of grain should be paid to those<br />
producers and not to <strong>the</strong> operators<br />
of <strong>the</strong> transportation facilities. We<br />
believe in a user-pay policy.<br />
It is very surprising, <strong>the</strong>refore, to<br />
find that <strong>the</strong> rate that prairie graingrowers<br />
are paying <strong>the</strong> railways to<br />
carry <strong>the</strong>ir grain to <strong>the</strong> coast was<br />
established in 1897 by government<br />
decree.<br />
For <strong>the</strong> record, <strong>the</strong> rate is 16<br />

A valuable message to eveyone<br />
By John Gorman<br />
Much has been said during <strong>the</strong><br />
past 18 months about <strong>the</strong> cost of<br />
Canadianization of <strong>the</strong> oil industry<br />
versus <strong>the</strong> benefits, and so far no<br />
one has made a compelling case for<br />
Canadianization.<br />
It's nice to be able to wave <strong>the</strong><br />
flag, but a slumping economy with<br />
high unemployment rates is a heavy<br />
price to pay.<br />
Horst Schmid, <strong>the</strong> diminutive<br />
fireball who represents <strong>the</strong> province<br />
of Alberta as Minister of State for<br />
Economic Development and International<br />
Trade, put a perspective on<br />
Canadianization in a recent speech<br />
which has obviously been overlooked<br />
by <strong>the</strong> policy makers.<br />
Speaking to a Chamber of Commerce<br />
group in rural Alberta,<br />
Canada's only immigrant cabinet<br />
minister was extolling <strong>the</strong> merits of<br />
salesmanship in <strong>the</strong> international<br />
area and he gave some examples.<br />
Apparently some Alberta<br />
manufacturers recently participated<br />
in an oil and gas exploration<br />
technology and hardware trade<br />
show in Houston, Texas.<br />
Based on that one week of exposure,<br />
<strong>the</strong> Alberta group returned<br />
to <strong>the</strong> icy north, <strong>the</strong>ir pockets bulging<br />
with firm orders to <strong>the</strong> tune of<br />
$21 million.<br />
B.C.<br />
Follow-up contacts have indicated<br />
<strong>the</strong>y can look forward to a<br />
harvest of about $260 million from<br />
this one show.<br />
"I was asked by some American<br />
friends, how it was that Alberta<br />
technology and hardware could be<br />
so popular with U.S. customers, in<br />
<strong>the</strong> heart of <strong>the</strong> country where all<br />
good oilfield technology is<br />
spawned," said Mr. Schmid.<br />
"Simple," I replied. "We bought<br />
it from you in <strong>the</strong> first place, improved<br />
it, and now we're selling it<br />
back."<br />
It seems to me <strong>the</strong>re is a valuable<br />
message in all of this.<br />
Here we are reaping <strong>the</strong> benefits,<br />
not just for Alberta but for all of<br />
Canada, of improvements and innovation<br />
related to technology <strong>the</strong><br />
Americans taught us in <strong>the</strong> first<br />
place. And it also seems that this is<br />
<strong>the</strong> healthiest kind of trade conditions<br />
between two countries.<br />
It shows that Canadians have<br />
benefited greatly from <strong>the</strong>ir<br />
American bro<strong>the</strong>rs who introduced<br />
us to <strong>the</strong> oil business in <strong>the</strong> first<br />
place. And now we are gaining fur<strong>the</strong>r<br />
benefit because we have added<br />
a few Canadian wrinkles which have<br />
served to improve <strong>the</strong> product.<br />
In a word, it's called competition<br />
and without it nothing improves.<br />
lis!<br />
WW?<br />
Mr. Schmid went on,to say that<br />
since <strong>the</strong> Alberta government began<br />
pushing for provincial trade in <strong>the</strong><br />
international market, <strong>the</strong> various<br />
trade missions have resulted in <strong>the</strong><br />
sale of $488,757,000 worth of<br />
Alberta-made goods.<br />
Currently negotiations are under<br />
way with certain foreign countries<br />
on <strong>the</strong> sale of $7 billion worth of<br />
contracts on enhanced recovery of<br />
oil technology, all developed in<br />
Alberta.<br />
Enhanced recovery refers to<br />
methods by which more oil can be<br />
produced from conventional oil<br />
wells by use of chemicals or o<strong>the</strong>r<br />
methods.<br />
But it was <strong>the</strong> Americans who<br />
first worked with enhanced recovery<br />
techniques. And <strong>the</strong> Canadianization<br />
policy imposed along with <strong>the</strong><br />
National Energy Program says let's<br />
discriminate against Americans and<br />
send <strong>the</strong>m back where <strong>the</strong>y came<br />
from. We have no fur<strong>the</strong>r use for<br />
<strong>the</strong>m.<br />
First of all <strong>the</strong>y have always been<br />
our friends, and <strong>the</strong>y have been<br />
pretty good customers to boot. It's<br />
nice to be able to invade <strong>the</strong>ir territory<br />
and sell <strong>the</strong>m back <strong>the</strong>ir own<br />
mousetrap with a few Canadian improvements<br />
on it.<br />

Pear Sir:<br />
The illness of <strong>the</strong><br />
downtown core seems<br />
to be taking a good deal<br />
of time and worry.<br />
I would like to offer<br />
a few suggestions that<br />
may be of interest.<br />
As <strong>the</strong> merchants<br />
and businesses of<br />
downtown <strong>Quesnel</strong><br />
desire to make <strong>the</strong>ir<br />
area more attractive<br />
and competitive, may I<br />
suggest...<br />
1. Put in publicwashrooms.<br />
<strong>Quesnel</strong><br />
serves, in addition to<br />
<strong>the</strong> urban area, about<br />
18,000 people and such<br />
a facility is a necessity.<br />
There is competition<br />
now and town core<br />
businesses must wake<br />
it's your page<br />
up.<br />
2. Wipe out <strong>the</strong> one<br />
9 two-way streets<br />
way streets, with <strong>the</strong><br />
parking congestion that<br />
is now so evident.<br />
3. Replace parking<br />
meters and have <strong>the</strong>m<br />
checked regularly.<br />
4. Have lights installed<br />
at <strong>the</strong> corner of<br />
Reid and St. Laurent<br />
and probably at Reid<br />
and Barlow. I suggest<br />
scramble lights for<br />
pedestrians.<br />
5. Install pedestrian<br />
crosswalks at <strong>the</strong> Post<br />
Office and at <strong>the</strong> middle<br />
of 200 block Reid,<br />
and enforce <strong>the</strong>ir<br />
usage.<br />
6. Bring in a food<br />
store.<br />
A market <strong>the</strong> size of<br />
<strong>Quesnel</strong> should have no<br />
trouble attracting a<br />
'Sacrificial' region for greater good<br />
Dear Sir:<br />
I humbly entreat that<br />
this area (being that<br />
shrouded by <strong>the</strong> plume,<br />
say roughly a radius of<br />
300 miles from <strong>the</strong> proposed<br />
Hat Creek Plant)<br />
be designated a<br />
"Region of National<br />
Sacrifice'". -<br />
" ""<br />
• The -concept of-<br />
Regions of National<br />
Sacrifice follows directly<br />
from <strong>the</strong> notion that<br />
unlimited economic<br />
growth can somehow<br />
be coupled with <strong>the</strong><br />
finite resources of <strong>the</strong><br />
real world...giving<br />
birth to an ever-upward<br />
spiralling standard of<br />
living.<br />
In this squeeze, it<br />
soon becomes plain<br />
that certain regions<br />
must give <strong>the</strong>ir all, and<br />
<strong>the</strong>n somc, ( for <strong>the</strong><br />
"Greater Good".<br />
That is—it is not so<br />

'No price too large 9<br />
Dear Sirs:<br />
I'm a mo<strong>the</strong>r of four<br />
children, and like<br />
everyone else, I have<br />
searched <strong>the</strong><br />
newspapers and ran to<br />
turn up my radio or<br />
television cverytime I<br />
hear anything on <strong>the</strong><br />
Olson case.<br />
Lately <strong>the</strong>re has been<br />
a lot of controversy<br />
over <strong>the</strong> $90,000 pay<br />
out to Olson for <strong>the</strong><br />
recovery of <strong>the</strong> bodies.<br />
1 can't help feeling if<br />
I had been B.C.'s Attorney<br />
General Allan<br />
Williams, that I probably<br />
would have done<br />
<strong>the</strong> same thing he did.<br />
I feel <strong>the</strong>re is no price<br />
too big, to recover <strong>the</strong><br />
bodies of those children<br />
and to know I would be<br />
putting Olson away<br />
permanently.<br />
As for <strong>the</strong> $40,000<br />
per year, we as taxpayers<br />
are paying to<br />
know Olson is <strong>the</strong>re,<br />
again to me, is not too<br />
big of a price to pay.<br />
I know I'm only a<br />
mo<strong>the</strong>r but, knowing<br />
<strong>the</strong> love I have for each<br />
of my babies, it makes<br />
me sick how six months<br />

done almost anything<br />
to see Olson found and<br />
behind bars, and now<br />
that he has been found,<br />
all that is supposed to<br />
