The two torch

Organizers anticipate
some 2,100 athletes will
qualify for the Winter
Games.
BEFORE T H E FIRST snowfall, cold weather inspired Lawrence
Wskynyk to rough it while working on Dragon Lake Road. A loader-
operator, Wskynyk was tired of eating his lunch in the cab, and decid­
ed to get some fresh air. But, it was a little too cold for comfort and he
built a fire to keep warm while eating. Chances are he has since gone
back into the cab to eat. Tom Burley photo available m observer office.

PHARMACIST'S IDEA PROVES COSTLY
By Don Lohh
Local pharmacist Don Dickie
decided earlier this year to inject
some 'free enterprise principals' in­
to the drug dispensing industry.
It has been a costly experiment
thus far and may become even more
costly for Dickie and his business
partner, but it has saved in his
estimation about $100,000 for local
and provincial taxpayers.
What Dickie undertook was to
reduce the charges in his store for
dispensing drugs. Rather than the
going rate of $5.75, Dickie charges
only $2.50.
It is a brave undertaking, since
under the Pharmacy Act, Dickie
and all other B.C. pharmacists are
not permitted to increase the price
of drugs they dispense. Those drugs
must be provided to the customers
•TOUGH BUSINESS
at the pharmacist's acquisition
price.
If the pharmacist pays $1 per cap­
sule, the customer must be provided
the drug at $1 per capsule, or at
whatever price Dickie and the other
pharmacists can buy them at in
bulk.
Dickie ran afoul of the College of

BYPASS, CITY H A L L
Mayor Mike Pearce, in his in­
augural address to Quesnel city
council Monday night, announced
that he will head a special committee
to deal with the construction of a
new municipal hall, new police sta-
don, a second bridge across the
Fraser River and a highway bypass
around the community.
Pearce named first-term alder­
man Gurdial Sangha to a second
new committee to develop
markedng strategy and sell the lots
in Industrial Park.
"Ov6r the past year, we have seen
many projects progress satisfactori­
ly. Long standing matters-such as
Marsh' Drive improvements, Coih-
mons Avenue, the downtown
revitalization project and the suc­
cessful completion of the Quesnel
Aquatic Centre in conjunction with
the Cariboo Regional District and
the school board.
"We have also seen developments
toward construcdon of two major
water reservoirs. Projects which will
benefit our city for many years to
come," Pearce said.
The mayor added, "We will soon
be in a position to connect our sewer
system so that it will discharge into
the Cariboo Pulp and Paper mill ef­
fluent ponds, resulting in an unique,
innovative system of sewage
disposal in B.C.
"We have also seen a total com­
mitment from the Ministry of
Highways to improve Highway 97
on the Dragon Lake Hill. The city

•COMMITTEES N A M E D , PG. 3
has played a major role in pressing
for these improvements over the last
few years and finally the matter is
being brought to a satisfactory con­
clusion."
Pearce also thanked the 1983
council members individually for
their effort, including Alec LeBruri,

students. A picture of the major award winners may be found on page

"I shall be appointing Aid.
Sangha to a new committee to deal
with this matter and he will be ex­
pected to bring forth a marketing
plan for the Industrial Park.
"In the next year I expect Aid.
Sangha will have sold all the lots in
the park and will have a building
erected on each of them," Pearce
said.
"I have departed somewhat in
tradition by amalgamating some of
the committees and certain commit­
tees will be meeting this week to
select their own chairman. The
chairmen will be responsible for
reporting to council as well as
developing and recommending cer­
tain policies for council's considera­
tion."

The problem surfaced on six pro­

shallow dug weels, other drilled,
suddenly went dry after the sewer
installations were completed west of
Highway 97 at the top of the hill,
across the road from Frank's Super­
market.
Residents in the area appealed to
the CRD for relief and they were in­
formed that claims forwarded by
the regional district to the insurance
company had been investigated by
project engineers and no blame
could be attached to the develop­

However, residents in the area

counts. All of the breaches of the
Pharmacy Act, alleged to have been
committed by Dickie involved his
price slashing of dispensing fees.
It was charged by the College of
Pharmacists that Dickie used, or
permitted to be used, descriptive in­
formation in respect to the prices of
prescribed drugs in advertisements
published in The Observer on Jan.
13 and 20, 1983.
What Dickie and his partner had
agreed to display in the newspaper
was an ad showing Dickie's picture
and the advice to Ask Don, and
what upset the college members in
Quesnel and elsewhere in B.C., was
that he had enclosed the ad in a
border composed entirely of the
figures $2.50.

more people think­
ing of fitness and
ways to improve
their overall health,
we asked you what
is needed to live a
long and healthy
life:
Elizabeth Fisher: "You
need to enjoy your job.
Exercise goes hand-inharid
with a balanced
diet. Close family relations
helps, too."
Roland Auger: "The
answer, I feel, is to
have very few problems
to worry about. Live a
quiet life if it's possible
with no war or threats
of war."
Harry Stromme: "I
would probably advise
people to eat lots of
good, wholesome food,
don't smoke, drink
periodically and live a
good life."
Osvaid Nicolaisen:
"My suggestion is to
eat good and have good
foods. It's probaby a
good idea to have some
outdoor sports and
fresh air as well."
Dan Barreau: "People
would probably live
longer if they didn't
smoke, or get drunk.
Everything nowadays
seems to be bad for
you!"
Ken Fenton: "Eat lots
of good food and have
someone to look after
you, someone who
loves you. Good health
and nutrition are important,
too."

and work is well

on Phase 3B," John
reported Monday.
He said Brent
Stallard, the project
engineer, was pleased
with progress to date
and that a delay in
delivery of components
for the sewer lift stations
was all that had
kept Southwest Construction
from completing
Phase 3B.
"Southwest made
remarkable time installing
the sewer mains in
3B and if we had been
able to obtain the required
material for the
lift stations, that phase
might well be
complete," John said.
Asked when the first
domestic sewage was
expected in the system,
John said there would
be no hookups permitted
until next spring.

begin to be levied the
moment the hookup
occurs and until the
system is nearer completion,
we want to
delay any hookups.
"If we made a few
connections this year
there would not be
enough volume to
maintain the system
and we don't want a lot
of stuff lying in the
pipes over the winter.
"Our surveys indicate
current septic
systems should be entirely
adequate for one
more season and the
hookups to private
dwellings will begin as
soon as possible next
spring."
John said the remainder
of the project,
about 60 per cent of the
actual contracts, will
involve the areas
known as old Red Bluff
and the area around
Dragon Lake.
"As far as the
regional district is concerned,

of the project

completed after that
date, we have done extremely

"We are satisfied we
achieved at least 10 per

due to the fact
that winter came late.

that it will be substantially
