Lhtako Dene Nation seeks connection DANIKA M. HÉBERT Observer Reporter Chief Clifford Lebrun of the Lhatko Dene Nation asked council for their support in a request for a connection to the city’s water supply. Chief Lebrun wrote a proposal to the city of Quesnel, which he presented at last Monday’s meeting. In the proposal, Chief Lebrun mentioned the need for 21 total water connections in the Lhtako Nation, including 19 housing units and a band office and small community hall. “We have eight serviced lots ready for future development,” the proposal explained. “The current water infrastructure consists of a community well and water tower with a distribution system and fire hydrants.” The Lhtako Dene Nation has been battling water conditions which they have found to be of some concern. “The water source at the Lhtako Dene Nation has been a concern for several
decades and is tested on a regular basis,” the proposal said. “The community goes through several periods of boil water advisory each year and the community has been on a bottled water only advisory from time to time.” Lebrun told council the Lhtako Nation has ranked in the top 10 percentile on the priority list to fund and address the health concerns. Lebrun said there have been different options discussed by their engineers, the Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development (AANDC), council administrators and council representatives, with the most favoured option being the integration of the Lhtako Nation into the Quesnel water system. “AANDC have had band engineers carry out feasability studies providing options to address the water quality concerns and providing for at least three options,” the proposal explained. “The most feasible option to AANDC and the Lhtako
Dene First Nation is the connection and long term supply from the city of Quesnel.” The reason this option has been the favourite is because it requires minimal constructions, seeing as Quesnel already has the infrastructure in place as well as the testing system and staff. “Since Quesnel already has the entire system in place, the option to linking to Quesnel’s system makes the most sense,” Lebrun said. Linking to the Quesnel water system would also alleviate safety concerns for the Lhtako Dene Nation. “The supple of safe, clean water and expertise equipment and infrastructure to support and maintain the water supply is assured,” the proposal said. Lebrun said these types of discussions to have the Lhtako Dene Nation connect their water supply to Quesnel’s has been going on for seven years without any sort of real progress. He explained the last seven
years have seen council member changes on both sides which has hindered the discussion. “In past meetings and discussions, we have lost focus on the simple outcome we are trying to accomplish and have lost ourselves in discussions over who should be paying for what, if this project was to proceed,” the proposal explained. Lebrun made it clear he wasn’t asking council to cover costs associated with the connection of the Lhtako Dene Nation to the Quesnel water system. “We are not asking you to pay for the connection or infrastructure costs or even to provide the water free of cost, “ the proposal explained. “AANDC are prepared to cover the capital costs for the installation of the water line extension to connect to the band water system.” City manager Byron Johnson mentioned a report the city is working on, which highlights areas in the city which aren’t currently serviced with water.

with Lee-Anne Williams B.Sc. (Pharm)
The Canadian Cancer Society reported a 21% drop in cancer deaths in men between the years of 1988 and 2007. For women, the drop was only 9% mainly due to the fact that women took longer to cut back on smoking than men. The classic symbol of the prescription is the Rx sign. It is from the Latin verb recipere meaning “to take”. The symbol is often found on doctors’ prescription pads implying the patient is to take this medicine. The good nutrition that pregnancy requires should continue during breastfeeding as well. In fact, eating a bit more (400-500 more calories per day) is indicated. There is no special diet for breastfeeding moms but it should include whole grains, fruits and vegetables and enough water daily to keep hydrated. If the urine is too dark, drink more water. The number of completely new drugs in the research “pipeline” is increasing. These are new molecular entities, not “me too” type variations of medications already on the market. There is a trend to looking for medicines for rarer, under-treated diseases like melanoma, lupus and hepatitis C....good news for sufferers of those diseases. One of our goals as your pharmacists is to keep current on all the new drugs that are coming on the market. Lifetime learning is a philosophy we believe in. It helps us be better pharmacists and a better healthcare resource for you.

Understanding B.C.’s Education Plan
L
ast year the Ministry of Education introduced B.C.’s Education Plan, a framework to stimulate thinking and discussion about changes we could make to improve our education system. Although British Columbia’s education system is ranked one of the best in the world, other high performing education systems are also undergoing change. Our present education system is based on a model of learning from an earlier century. Social, economic and technological change is happening now at a faster pace than ever before and we need to ensure our students are learning the skills they need to be successful. Our challenge is that many of the opportunities and jobs we are preparing students for do not even exist today.

As a community we are being asked to respond to five key questions that will provide input into the development of the Graduation Requirements. In early November, a community meeting will be held for parents, educators, students, representatives from the business community, social agencies and other stakeholder for that purpose. Watch for information about this important meeting. We hope you will attend. Cynthia Bernier is director of instruction – Curriculum and Sue-Ellen Miller is superintendent of schools.
Phase 2 of cancer survivorship care plans underway Patients who receive a clean bill of health following successful cancer treatment often need resources to deal with the emotional aftermath – a challenge for those living in remote communities. Access to physicians and counsellors is limited for the approximately10,500 cancer survivors living in Northern B.C., leaving many to feel alone while they navigate their road to recovery. A pilot test funded by the Public Health Agency of Canada is attempting to change that by studying the unique needs of survivors in eight communities across the north. The $213,054 grant has allowed scientists to complete the first phase of research, which was to meet cancer survivors and healthcare staff in the north, to inform the creation of care plans to better support patients post-treatment. A First Nationsspecific plan has also been developed in consultation with four First Nations communities that participated in the study and provided insight into culturally-specific needs. The second phase of the study is currently ongoing, with
preliminary results indicating patients and providers feel the plans have positively impacted their care. “The investments that we have made over the last ten years have been designed to enhance cancer care services in the north and allow cancer patients to receive their treatment closer to home. This research grant will give us the insight we need to
provide appropriate support to cancer survivors in their recovery, recognizing the unique challenges they may face as a result of living in Northern BC,” Prince George-Valemount MLA Shirley Bond said. Survivorship care plans are tools to help cancer survivors in their journey post-treatment. The care plans developed
through the study include: information on medical history and follow-up guidelines; potential side effects and late effects to watch for; healthy living recommendations and other resources specific to cancer survivors in Northern B.C. A feature of the survivorship care plans includes a large focus on self-management, giving patients the

OPINIONS Bullying not beauty
B
ullying has been around since cavemen gathered around the campfire and emotional development allowed feelings to influence behaviour. That doesn’t legitimize bullying and with the sophisticated advances in social communication even the most basic skills allows people a multitude of options to kick their peers in the ego, both figuratively and literally. I fully endorse the need for crackdowns and any other measures designed to reduce, if not eliminate, the torture inflicted by bullying. But I take exception to almost every public depiction of Amanda Todd, the bullying victim who took her own life, as a beautiful young woman. Does that mean she was less deserving of the bullying then say, a fat girl, an ugly boy, a special needs student or the socially awkward? Remember Reena Virk? She was bullied, beaten and murdered by her torturers in 1997 but you never heard her described as beautiful. To add that adjective to Todd’s name every time seems to indicate that was an important part of the story. It’s not. No student should have to live with the kind of abuse both Reena and Amanda endured, regardless of their physiology. There’s already tremendous pressure on teens to be beautiful (however that is defined) to fit in, to grow up, to handle adult issues and define themselves, however, for the media to define this desperate young woman as beautiful can set other teens to see themselves as ugly and unworthy. Every teenager needs to feel confident about how they look, who they are and be taught responsibility for their actions. That includes the bullies. Let’s not loose site of the real issue here, its not that a beautiful young girl took her own life, but rather a vulnerable young woman didn’t see a way out of an intolerable situation. – Annie Gallant, Observer

Attack of the U.S. celebrities
here was palpable disappointment among reporters when Greenpeace organizers clarified that U.S. actors Daryl Hannah and Mark Ruffalo weren’t actually going to join the sit-in against heavy oil pipeline proposals at the B.C. legislature on Monday. I was disappointed too. I would have liked to learn more about what a washed-up mermaid and an easily confused Incredible Hulk really believe about the North American oil industry. In the spirit of celebrity slacktivism, both sent statements of support. To be fair, Ruffalo may still be busy searching for the “truth” about 9/11. In 2007 he declared that the official U.S. government report on the terrorist attacks was “completely illegitimate” because “buildings don’t fall down like that.” I wonder what the relatives of those aboard the hijacked airliners think of him. Hannah has had lots of free time since starring in the 1984 mermaid fantasy Splash. Now she’s mostly famous for getting arrested and she did so again in Texas on Oct. 3, standing in front of earthmoving
Tom Fletcher
B.C. Views equipment building the southern section of the Keystone XL pipeline. It’s worth noting that the project Hannah tried to stop has the support of the Barack Obama administration. The southern section from Cushing, Oklahoma oil storage facilities to Texas refineries is indeed being built by the sinister foreign TransCanada Corp., but it doesn’t carry the dreaded Canadian “tar sands” oil that eco-celebrities are convinced will end life on Earth as we know it. It’s the northern section that Obama has temporarily opposed, after fervent demonstrations such as the one in Washington, D.C. where Hannah’s first celebrity arrest occurred in 2011. At that time, Hannah recited the familiar talking points of the U.S. environmentalists who
and blamed it on oil sands mining. Headlines blared around the world. George details the Alberta Health Services study that followed, identifying three such cases in 12 years. Statistically higher, yes. A general risk, no. Other types of cancer in Fort Chip were lower than the general population. This finding was endorsed by Australian, New Zealand, U.S. and Canadian researchers. The doctor who diagnosed the original bile cancers admitted: “These results were based on a small number of cases – there is no cause for alarm.” Was this news trumpeted around the world? You can guess the answer. My point here isn’t to make fun of ill-informed celebrities. It’s to counteract the fawning, scientifically ignorant coverage they are routinely given by the mainstream media. And I’m not promoting the oil sands or pipelines. I’m saying they should be considered based on facts, not foolishness. Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press and BCLocalnews.com, contact him, tfletcher@ blackpress.ca.

exclusively target Alberta. In a new book, oil sands pioneer and Suncor founder Rick George dissects Hannah’s claims and asks why they were reported so widely and uncritically. Hannah claimed “the contribution to the carbon in the atmosphere is unprecedented.” George cites a Royal Society of Canada report that concludes the entire oil sands operation is responsible for five per cent of Canadian emissions. Fossil-fuelled electricity generation is 16 per cent of Canada’s total. Vehicles and other transportation account for 27 per cent. “How does the oil sands contribution possibly qualify as unprecedented?” George asks. Another Hannah quote: “I’ve been hearing about how many people have cancer that live downstream from the tar sands project.” Canadians heard that too, thanks in large part to an alarmist CBC documentary by David Suzuki featuring jet-set movie director James Cameron. George describes how this allegation was made in 2006 by a doctor who claimed a cluster of rare bile cancer cases in the remote village of Fort Chipewyan

FEEDBACK
Dubious at best Editor: Sept. 9, Stephen Harper signed the Canada-China Investment Treaty. It is arguably the biggest trade deal Canada has entered since NAFTA. The Canada-China Investment Treaty gives Chinese government owned companies full access to Canada’s resources, will bind Canada for at least 16 years and should obviously be carefully analyzed and debated in Parliament. The Harper Conservatives though almost dictatorially tabled the treaty to the House of Commons on Sept 26, set it for automatic approval on Oct 31st, and won’t allow any debate or vote to take place amongst our elected representatives. Chinese state owned companies have already bought $13 billion of the oil sands (huge chunks of Syncrude, Penn West Petroleum, Opti Canada, Daylight Energy Ltd., and the MacKay River oilsands project.) The Chinese Government holds $1.3 trillion in US t-bills (debt) so you can multiply these takeovers by 1,000 – which wouldn’t leave much left of Canada. Soon most of us could be working directly for the Chinese government. During the 2008 election, the Harper Conservatives vowed to block the export of Canadian bitumen for processing offshore. Obviously if companies refine
bitumen in Alberta and pipe high quality oil directly, they: (1) eliminate a second pipeline and huge amounts of wasted energy piping and shipping condensate and bitumen mud, (2) thereby cut the spill risk in half (3) make more money here in Canada by selling superior refined oil products. Who wouldn’t take a simple step to save more money, make more money and cut the environmental risk in half? Chinese state owned CNOOC or Sinopec or other Chinese stakeholders? Makes sense – they want more money for China and probably don’t care much about environmental damage in Canada. State owned companies are playing by a different set of rules with potentially unlimited financing and staying power. Definitely something that should be thoroughly debated and analyzed in parliament. That’s what these guys are elected to do and to by-pass that process is dubious at best. Even if it is a great deal for Canada, Harper should have a full legislative review of the Canada-China Investment Treaty to avoid setting any un-democratic precedents for any future corrupt governments that take huge bribes to pass a similar lousy deal for Canada in complete secrecy. Graham Gerry Quesnel
Hopefully they remember Editor: It can surely be no surprise to anyone to read the report from staff to council, advising that the city will likely be $200,000 overspent in their staffing budget (reported in the Observer on Sept 26). Obviously, it costs taxpayers money when you give a gift of $177,000 to the city manager when he resigns. Add to that terminating me without cause and paying me my severance bi-weekly for a year, plus paying someone else to do my job over the same period and clearly it soon starts to mount up. In addition, there are the hidden costs of advertising, training, higher wages, lawyer fees etc., all of which appear as other line items in the budget, but all associated with these actions.
Letters to the Editor
As usual, it is staff that will have to do the work to bale the elected officials out of the pickle they get the organization into and try to make them look good. I don’t feel these elected officials are qualified to run an organization the size of the city of Quesnel and need some training in how their decisions impact the bottom line. They need to put the needs of the organization over their own petty agendas. Hopefully taxpayers will remember the waste of money by the time the next election comes around. I am sure that a lot of capital projects or community support groups would have benefited greatly, had mayor and council avoided this unnecessary overexpenditure in the first place.

Local photography students accepted in Northern Print Salon ANNIE GALLANT Observer Reporter For some, taking pictures is a way to capture a moment in life, but for others photography is a form of personal expression, a craft to be honed – much more than a record of an event or person. Northern Persona’s Tineke Ziemer, a seasoned professional photographer offers a class, Image Expressions, to help students at all levels of photography advance their skills and develop their own personal expression through the lens of their camera. From time to time, competitions are presented and students have the choice to submit their work. Recently, Ziemer suggested students could submit up to five images to the Professional Photographers of Canada, B.C. Northern Region Print Salon. “Being accepted for this show is a challenge which stretches you as a photographer,” she said. Ziemer was pleased nine students (including her daughter Mikayla Theisen, 10, the youngest to ever enter this competition) plus Ziemer herself submitted photographs for consideration in the non-member categories. “All 10 of us had images accepted, some more than one and some also received further recognition in several categories,” she said. Laura Hobbs had two images accepted, one of which went on to receive a merit standing. “I got serious about photography about two years ago, but I’ve always loved taking pictures,” Hobbs said. I was so happy to have two images accepted, but receiving merit standing for an image I was really emotionally connected to, well I just about came out of my skin.” All 10 photographers from Quesnel were in attendance as the judges reviewed the submissions and decided which of the 125 entries would be accepted. Acceptance to the Print Salon is based solely on the image submitted not on the photographer. They accepted only 62. “Being in the room as the judges decided on the accepted images was a learning experience I really value. Even if my work wasn’t accepted, I wouldn’t have wanted to miss that,” Hobbs said. “Tineke is our fearless leader, her honesty prepared us for the experience. From her teaching, to critiquing to support and encouragement, she’s awesome.” Tineke said in her course, it’s not just about a picture, its about expressing who they are through their artwork. “I’ve been there for each of my students from the first time they turned their cameras from auto to manual and they’ve never looked back,” she said. “The journey has been one of challenges, successes, emotional healing and truly friendships. Learning the technical side of photography allows free flow from the creative and emotional side.” Everyone is excited about next year’s competition and Ziemer said, as all the students who entered are in her Portfolio Builder course (assignments and advanced photography rather than basic techniques) the assignment nature of the course allows for personal growth and being open to interpretation. “This is an excellent learning and sharing opportunity,” she said. “The students are already preparing and shooting with a more critical, educated eye.” The students whose work was accepted for the Print Salon include Sarah Barber, Skye Perry, Darcie Weston, Stacey Gilbert, Michelle Taylor, Tineke Ziemer, Mikayla Theisen, Laura Hobbs, Krista Roessler and Maria Novak.

LIFESTYLES HISTORY
Visit the drawers at the Quesnel museum
P
otpourri sounds so much better than hodge-podge. This column is pretty much a potpourri of what’s been happening at and with the museum over the last few weeks. Most importantly, Quesnel Museum and Archives is advertising for new commissioners to serve on the board. If you are a person who knows the importance of preserving our past and are willing to give of your time and talent to do just that, then consider this volunteer position. We meet Wednesdays once a month for a couple of hours to make decisions regarding the preservation of our local artifacts, our oral history and heritage buildings in Quesnel. Remember, 2013 is the 50th Anniversary of the Quesnel Museum so serving on the commission means you could/ would have input into how we celebrate this important occasion. Watch for the ads and put your name forward. Guaranteed you will enjoy yourself. Manager Elizabeth Hunter and her staff have been re-working several exhibits as more and more artifacts present themselves. The sewing accessories have some new additions and if you are a doll collector or aficionado, you will enjoy the display. With the addition of the CD Hoy safe, the General Store has a new face-lift and your trip back to yesteryear will consist of several authentic artifacts you may not have seen on your previous visits. One interesting little part of the museum is one you might have missed. That is the drawers. The drawers are units that have enclosed glass drawers that you pull out. One houses a beautiful selection of ladies’ fans. Another holds
PAST TIME Victorian secrets. The jewelry and accessories collection is proof-positive that skill and craftsmanship were a prerequisite for jewellers and watchmakers in Victorian times. And gentlemen in those days wore accessories, so be certain to check those out as well. Of interest to the gentlemen of today might be the bird display that is now by Dude Lavington’s cabin. A
taxidermist’s delight.

Your Health Naturally Connecting Our Community
CSS Purchases Defibrillator with QCF Grant Money An automated external defibrillator or AED is a portable electronic device that automatically diagnoses the potentially life threatening cardiac fibrillation and is able to treat them through defibrillation, the application of electrical therapy which stops the arrhythmia, allowing the heart to reestablish an effective rhythm. The machine is centrally located by the theatre/gym door and is available to the general public who use the school. All grade 10 students each year are required to complete a first aid course through SD28 Cont. Ed. in which they are trained to use an AED. The machine is relatively simple to operate - once turned on it gives instructions and graphic images that outline the 3 step process to activate and successfully operate the AED. The machine determines when and if a shock is required and also instructs the responder how to provide CPR to the victim. It is important to remember that time is critical - 5 minutes response time is borderline too long. Thank you to QCF for your continuing efforts to make Quesnel a vibrant and good place to live. SUSTAINING PARTNERS
Preparing Your Diet for the Season When we are in the summer mode our diets typically are about gardens and fresh veggies and fruit which are lighter foods as well most of us are more active and outside more enjoying the sunshine. This summer was so beautiful and very plentiful which can make it difficult to get prepared for the colder season. As the frost moves in and gardens are pulled and produce is frozen or stored for the winter months we tend to begin a hibernation process and energy levels slow down. Choosing foods that support the body to burn more efficiently and for longer periods of time vary depending on where you live but two things remain the same, the need for more fat and more protein. Using virgin, first or cold pressed oils are always higher in nutrients and usually quality. Coconut, olive, safflower, sunflower, hemp, flax, avocado, sesame and fish oils are some that are good choices. Use them according to their ability to be stable without compromise so monitoring or varying temperatures will change from oil to oil. Storage and oxygen also plays an important role in the freshness of oils so don’t buy volume unless you are going to use it in 6 weeks or less. Proteins can also be varied depending on lifestyle and dietary needs. Lean clean protein is always optimal, whether it is in the form of a protein drink or healthy food source. If you are a meat eater please be aware of where your animal products come from and how the meat is prepared. Wild game and organ meats are rich and typically higher in vitamins and minerals along with organic or free range farm raised animals not to mention local purchased meat from an established butcher is also great for your community. Beans and lentils are not complete protein and must be eaten with a complex carbohydrate such as brown or wild rice. Other favourites such as homemade soup or chilies with lots of spices balanced with root vegetables or squash of the season and some fresh organic greens. Mornings started with hearty whole grains such as quinoa, steel cut oats, teff or buckwheat with dark antioxidant rich berries are also great starting meals of the day. Don’t be afraid to jazz it up with some cinnamon, nutmeg, cardamom, ginger, raisins, cranberries, coconut or dates. Keeping your activity level up with some outdoor sport or some great indoor exercise equipment is a must. If you are sedentary and eat heavier foods you will likely put weight on. Don’t get stuck in a rut, get started on a healthier path right from the beginning and winter will come and you will have fun, Naturally!

Fight for what we have Four of us from Quesnel had the opportunity to attend COSCO (Council of Senior Citizens Organization) conference in Richmond Oct. 1 – 2. The national conference ‘The Joys & Tears of Living Longer’ explored opportunities and challenges of Canadians’ increased longevity. There were 430 delegates from throughout British Columbia, advised president Art Kube in his opening address. They had planning sessions with many seniors and a line up of excellent speakers and workshops. Ralph Sultan, Minister of State for Seniors says half the budget of health care in the province is for seniors. Speaking on behalf of World Health Organization, Paul Ehrlich says there are six million seniors in Canada, with a ratio of five females to one male. The world is becoming female dominate. The United Nations principles for active aging are participation, health and security. There should be retirement security for everyone according to Dr. Tine Rostaard, PhD of a Danish university. Raising eligibility age to 67 for OAS/ GIS would mean nonworking, low income seniors on provincial social assistance and disability programs would have to wait another two years for transition to the OAS/ GIS program meaning

35 percent of OAS recipients who would be entitled to GIS at 65, mostly women, would lose those benefits. Men receive $643.46, women $476.87.

Quesnel runners qualify for provincials JONAS GAGNON Observer Reporter Quesnel Junior Secondary and Correlieu have fielded an array of fieldtopping runners this year, with the girls doing exceptionally well. Last weekend, at zones, they stayed on pace. The students were in Prince George running the same track on which they will compete for the provincials. The girls ran a 4.3 km race, while the boys took the long, 6.3 km route. Pat Marsh, the coach for Correlieu, was pleased with the performance of all the runners. Four QJS runners, Grace McTaggart, Kyra Teetzen Dylan Cathcart and Brennan Schwartz, along with three Correlieu runners, Katrina MacLean, Laura Dunn and Konrad Teetzen, will head up to Prince George this weekend to take part in the provincials.
Grace McTaggart, from QJS, once again dominated her class, finishing with a time of 19:22, nearly half a minute ahead of the runner in second in the female bantam category. Her time was also good enough to seat her with girls much older than her in the top five for women overall. Kyra Teetzen, another QJS runner, hit the top spot in the female junior category, finishing at 19:58, which was good enough to break the top ten in the female overall category. Correlieu runner Laura Dunn took fourth in the junior category with a solid time of 20:12. Marsh called it her best race to date. In the senior category, Katrina MacLean, of Correlieu, managed fourth as well, crossing the finish line at 19:46. Due to a problem with her knee, that precluded training for most of the year, MacLean had not run during the rest of
the season, only being able to train by running in the pool. Her time kept her firmly in the top ten overall. "She's a tough customer when it comes to competing," Marsh said of her return. On the strength of those runs, the Correlieu female team, the only category either of the schools had the numbers to field a team for, got fourth place. Though it didn't allow the team to go to the provincials as a team, Marsh is happy to have a team, noting that few of the other schools at the zones had one. "I'm hoping in the next couple of years we'll be able to have a boys and girls team," Marsh said. On the boys side of things, Correlieu runner Konrad Teetzen broke into the top three in the junior category with a time of 27:10. Marsh is pleased with Teetzen's success, noting that he is still young and has two years left to run with the school.
Brennan Schwartz, a QJS runner, took fourth in bantam with a time of 29:19. In Juvenile, Dylan Cathcart represented for QJS with a time of 27:39, which netted him fifth in his category. This is the first time the provincials have been in the North-Central zone, Marsh said. Last year cold weather in Kelowna surprised the runners from Vancouver, and Quesnel runners are half-hoping for snow Marsh said. For her part, though, she is hoping the weather is nice, as the trip up north has disgruntled some southern running teams and cold weather may dampen the runners desire to come back up north in the future. Marsh is looking forward to the provincials and is sure the event will be up to par. The athletes will next be in action in Price George running against students from all over the province on Nov. 3.

A hard road to hoe on the road JONAS GAGNON Observer Reporter A hard second period in last Saturday’s game buried the ‘Roos. Despite out scoring the Williams Lake Stampeders in the first and third on the road last weekend, the ‘Roos lost the game 8-5. “As a team we decided we would be known as a hardworking team and we fell off that in the second period,” coach Brian Kozak said. “The big thing for the team is how do we react to that. And we reacted just the way we’re supposed to. We didn’t whine or complain, we pulled up our socks and came back in the third.”
The ‘Roos started off the scoring with Braden Penner sending the puck in at 4:51. The tied it up Stampeders half-way through the first, but they didn’t stay out in front for very long. Just two minutes after Williams Lake’s equalizer, Levon Johnson got an unassisted goal to put the ‘Roos in front for the rest of the first. “We carried more than our share of the play,” Kozak said. The trouble came in the second, with a couple hard penalties that set the ‘Roos off their game. A hit by Braden Penner turned into a fight, which cost the ‘Roos two defencemen they couldn’t afford.

McMillan and Dany Kirkham, two forwards, on defence, the ‘Roos tried to keep up the momentum. The Stampeders took control of the second, taking the wind out of the ‘Roos. They ran the score, putting them up five goals on the ‘Roos, who couldn’t manage a goal in the second. A dressing room talk from Kozak brought the team back in line for the third. “We came back in the third outscored them three to one, out shot them three to one. We just didn’t come back enough,” Kozak said. Kozak was impressed by the dedication of the team, despite going into the third down
by five and being outplayed in the second. With the bad taste of the second still on their palate, the ‘Roos hit the ice hard and scored within the first two minutes of the period. Nick Tomassetti netted a shorthanded goal unassisted to start the ‘Roos up. The Stampeders didn’t just sit on their heels with the lead, managing to score again five minutes
into the period. The ‘Roos rounded out their five points with goals by Joel Boyetchko and Jeff Gagnon in his first game of the season. This weekend the ‘Roos face off against the Smithers Steelheads, who didn’t lose a game last year in the regular season and the Houston Luckies on Sunday. Game time is 7:30 p.m. on Saturday and 1 p.m. on Sunday.

PAPERBACK WRITER
score five straight for a well deserved 6-4 victory. The Builders have obviously been paying attention to the front runner’s secret to success as they also iced eight skaters which paid
dividends after a sluggish start. Cueing the comeback was (Billy) Joel Marsh with his third and fourth of the season to go with an assist on Lee (New Knee) Naeth’s hat trick marker which gives him six in two games versus the Bear Boys. Notching his first of the campaign on an unassisted beauty was Doug Mack (Truck) as Jim (Great) Scott dominated both ends of the ice and earned a trio of helpers. Keeping up with his Brother-in-law in the goal scoring category
was the Bear’s Chris (Crown) Royle who has now put the biscuit in the basket in four straight contests. Taking advantage of some sloppy Serenity play early was Shane (The Pain) Baker on a shorty as (Silent) Seth Phillips rounded out the scoring as he dipsy doodled his way to his first of the season. The other contest saw more spills and chills than the Nazko highway as Blue Collar found their work ethic in a four all tie against the league-leading Chevy Crew. Showing his
teammates and the opposition the meaning of howitzer was BCS’s Kevin (Knightrider) Hesslegrave with 3 missiles that no mortal goalie could have stopped. Earning a hat trick in the assist department was (Rocket) Rod Albers who finally showed the BCS executive that his two figure contract was worth the risk. Also getting off the Schneid was (Jungle) Jim Kurta whose first points of the year couldn’t have come at a better morning. Driving his
GM dream team forward into the FHL Penthouse was Ian (Heartbreaker) Hannah who scored a pair and drew two helpers as Ken (Mercury) McMillan notched a singleton and collected a pair of assists. Punching 3 more Beliveau like assists was Jarett (The Ferret) Dumas who has equalled his total for all of last year (six) barely a month into the season!

QJSS House 3 students were distributing grocery bags to households in North Quesnel asking residents to fill the bags for pick up by the students Wednesday morning between 8:30 – 10:30 a.m. All donations are for the Quesnel Salvation Army Food Bank. Other House 3 students will be collecting within the school. The bags were placed in mailboxes Monday and Tuesday and the students are asking residents to be generous for those served by the food bank in the community. The House teams are in competition for the most food collected and so far Ms. Brackett’s division is in the lead with 82 items, but Stevenson and Gerich are close behind. Annie Gallant photo
