Pot proponent in town to sign up petitioners for Sensible Policing AUTUMN MacDONALD Observer Reporter He’s looking to legalize marijuana – sensibly. Dana Larsen, who last year ran for the leadership of the BC NDP, is hitting up the Gold Pan City to promote the Sensible Policing Act, which would effectively decriminalize cannabis possession in the province. Larsen is speaking to supporters in Quesnel, Wednesday, 7 – 8:30 p.m.,
at the Arts and Recreation Centre. “The Sensible Policing Act directs all police in B.C. to stop spending any time or resources on searching, seizing or arresting anyone for simple cannabis possession,” Larsen said. “The lawyers at Elections BC have confirmed that this legislation is within provincial jurisdiction and suitable for a referendum.” Larsen is leading the

Sensible BC campaign to have a referendum on the Sensible Policing Act, organizing volunteers to collect the official signatures needed from September to November of 2013. So far, he’s been on tour to 22 B.C. cities and towns since mid-October. “There’s no reason we cannot decriminalize possession in our province,” he said. “In 2003, B.C. joined seven other provinces in
refusing to enforce the Long Gun Registry. “At that time, the attorneys general said they didn’t want to bother with otherwise law-abiding citizens who were in possession of an unregistered long gun. “We’re asking for the same sensible perspective when it comes to people in possession of cannabis.” Larsen feels the recent votes to legalize cannabis
in the US states of Washington and Colorado has given the Sensible BC campaign a solid boost. “I have had dozens of media interviews in the last three days,” he said. “Reporters from around B.C. and across Canada have been calling to find out how we plan to do in B.C. what activists accomplished in Washington and Colorado.” Larsen explained that the Sensible Policing Act is similar to the Washington
initiative. “In Washington, they have legalized possession of up to an ounce of cannabis right away and mandated the state to figure out how to open cannabis shops within one year,” he said. “Our legislation would also decriminalize possession in B.C. and set up a commission to figure out the rules and regulations needed to create a legally regulated system in our province.”

The Gold Pan’s Indo-Canadian community is inviting everyone to come help celebrate Diwali-Deepmala.

Community invited to celebrate Diwali-Deepmala The Indo-Canadian community of Quesnel is gearing up for celebration of Diwali-Deepmala, the festival of lights. This year it falls on Nov. 13th but is being celebrated on Nov. 17th. The religious ceremonies associated with the big event are going to be held at the Gurudwara, Cariboo Gurusikh Temple in West Quesnel, Mr. Sital Singh Purewal, the president of Gurudwara society announced. In an interview with Poonam Miglani, Dr. Mahinder Paul Singh, the former head priest of the Gurusikh temple, who is here in the town for Diwali celebrations, explained the origin and the story of the festival of illuminations. The people of India, irrespective of religion or ethnic background celebrate Diwali as an expression of human spirit, joy, happiness and reunion. In fact, it is a cultural and seasonal festival. It takes place at the onset of winter when the weather is pleasant and there is not much snow and it’s not very cold. On this particular night lights are arranged in different patterns which reveals the meaning of Deepmala.
People dress up in gorgeous clothes, exchange sweets and ignite fireworks. In other words, it’s like an Indian Christmas. The event has religious components as well. Hindu society celebrates it as a triumph of goodness over evil when Shri Ramachandra, the divine incarnation, came back to his home town after 14 years of exile. Laxmi, the goddess of wealth is also worshipped on this night. For the Sikh society, it is very important religious, cultural and social event also. The sixth guru, a divine teacher, came back to Amritsar, the most sacred place of the Sikh religion. He was imprisoned by the Mughal emperor of the day. Guru Har Gobind suffered this punishment for his teachings of love for God, mankind without discrimination and dignity of human value. After several years the emperor was forced to release Guru Har Gobind along with 52 other rulers, kings and nawabs who were in the same prison. Guru set the release of others as a pre condition to his own freedom, otherwise he would not go. In history the Guru is known as the liberator.
He is also known as the Master of Miri and Piri (spiritual and worldly power) and was given a huge reception on his arrival back at Amritsar, with great display of lights, lamps and fireworks. Since that day, Deepmala has become one of the greatest Sikh festivals, celebrated with unusual fervour and dedication especially at the Golden Temple in Amritsar, Punjab India. With multi coloured lights and dazzling fireworks, the festival presents a heavenly site. Millions of people from all over the world come to pay their respects as well as enjoy the festival of Deepmala. Here in Quesnel at the Gurusikh temple, the East Indian community is celebrating the festival Nov. 17th, Saturday evening in traditional style. Mr. Purewal and the executive committee of the temple invite one and all to join the celebrations. Happy Diwali-Deepmala and God bless all humanity with peace and joy.

Landfill Changes start in two weeks Scales open November 28 Hours of Operation 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Seven Days per week
Closed Christmas Day and New Year’s Day • • • • • • •
The landfill will run in “test mode” until January 8. The scales will be open, allowing staff and residents time to get used to the new system. The garbage and recycling drop-off will remain open 24 hours per day until January 8. From January 9 on, the landfill, recycling area and garbage drop-off will only open during the hours noted above. The new system is designed to reward those who recycle and separate their waste. Residents who have less than 350 kilograms of household garbage, and who separate their recycling, will pay no fees. But an individual who wants to throw a mix of garbage, recycling, yard waste and other waste types in one bin will pay by weight.
Why?
• It is environmentally responsible. Residents already recycle a great deal of material - recycling and yard waste disposal will remain free of charge. • It provides greater control over what is disposed of in the landfill. • It extends the landfill’s life, saving taxpayers money. • There is a desire in the community for projects that consider a wide range of sustainability pillars, such as finances and the environment.

LaFlamme still at large
AUTUMN MacDONALD Observer Reporter Shadow Darrell LaFlamme is still at large. RCMP issued the warrant for the Quesnel resident in early November. The 22-year-old fled from police Friday night, after resisting arrest and jumping out a third-storey balcony. Shortly after 8 p.m. Nov. 2, RCMP were called to an apartment in the 1200 block of Lark Avenue on an unrelated matter. Upon arrival, police located and arrested LaFlamme for possession of a controlled substance. The arresting officer attempted to apprehend the suspect but he resisted arrest. A struggle ensued which ended when LaFlamme fled the apartment out of a third-storey balcony striking his arm and leg on a second floor balcony before
landing on the ground. He then fled the scene on foot. LaFlamme is currently wanted for possession of a controlled substance for the purpose of trafficking, assaulting a police officer, being unlawfully in a dwelling house, possession of stolen property and trespassing at night. LaFlamme is approximately 5’8” and 145 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes. Anyone with any information, call 250-992-9211 immediately.

CAPSULE COMMENTS With Jessica Joly B.Sc. (Pharm)
During the flu season, pharmacists often hear comments like “I’m pretty healthy, I don’t need a flu shot.” Flu shots protect not only you but the people around you, especially babies under the age of six months and older people with chronic diseases. There is safety in numbers because the more people that get their flu shots, the fewer that will get the flu. It’s early stages for researchers in Australia who are developing a micro motor, about the size of a grain of salt. It will be used in clearing up clots in blood vessels in the brain where surgery is unable to work. It promises to be extremely useful in navigating through the convoluted blood vessels in the brain. In 2011, 1803 organ transplants were performed in Canada. Over 4000 Canadians still wait for transplants, 75% of them for a kidney. In 2011, 195 Canadians died waiting for organ transplants. Are you an organ donor? If not, sign up today. About 8% of 8 year-olds still wet their beds at night occasionally. However, this problem doesn’t usually signify a major problem and will usually resolve on its own. It can distress the child and sometimes simply restricting fluid intake at night will work. There are alarm systems available to remind the child to go to the bathroom at night. Medications are also available. Ask our pharmacists. Our pharmacists have access to solutions to many healthcare problems. We are always willing to talk to you and give you information to help you solve yours.

The unusual sighting of a snowy owl at the Victoria courthouse.
Snowy owl visits downtown Victoria
Contributed photo
Connecting Our Community
TOM FLETCHER Black Press Downtown Victoria’s courthouse had an unusual visitor Thursday, a snowy owl that made a rest stop on the sixth floor. Sporting plumage better suited to swooping down on winter-white rabbits hopping over snowdrifts, the elegant bird stood out among the street crows and seagulls that dominate the sky in the B.C. capital. But according to bird experts, such sights are rare but not unknown around B.C. and beyond as winter sets in. Canadian Geographic notes that while their thick feathers are suited for year-round life in Arctic regions of North America and Eurasia, some head south in winter as far as the U.S. state of Georgia. Unlike most owls, snowy owls are not nocturnal. It is believed their daytime hunting behaviour developed during the almost constant daylight of far north summers when they typically nest and breed. Male snowy owls can be completely white, while females always have some brown feathers. A 1994 article by Alan MacLeod for British Columbia Field Ornithologist reports sightings in the Martindale Valley in southern Vancouver Island’s Saanich Peninsula. “Snowy owl has been recorded and it’s no surprise,” MacLeod writes. “The flats are well suited to this species’ habitat preferences; in their periodic ‘invasion’ years, Snowies are as likely to turn up at Martindale as anywhere else on the peninsula.”

Change M
arijuana reform advocates hope Washington and Colorado states’ vote last Tuesday to legalize and tax marijuana sales will add momentum to their push for change in B.C. While it’s not yet clear if the U.S. federal government will allow stateby-state legalization of recreational marijuana use – other states already allow medical marijuana sales – the vote has huge implications here. Washington state estimates it would collect $560 million in the first year from a planned 25-per-cent tax on the sale of licensed, regulated marijuana through authorized stores. If enacted, this could also cause a partial collapse of B.C.’s estimated $7-billion-a-year illegal pot industry, as growers relocate to the U.S. to avoid the need to smuggle. Recently, the Union of B.C. Municipalities passed a resolution calling for marijuana to be decriminalized. They’d rather pot be regulated and taxed instead, much like alcohol. The U.S. votes are a progressive move toward responsible marijuana use. It’s time for B.C. to take a similar step toward decriminalization, if not legalization of marijuana. The potential tax revenue and the opportunity to reduce law enforcement costs, and help unclog our court system is too much to pass up. The poll results south of the border sent a message that U.S. drug policies are not working. As Canada’s drug policies follow the U.S. closely, it means ours aren’t working either – it’s time for a change. Sensible B.C., a campaign headed by B.C. marijuana activist and medical pot dispenser Dana Larsen, wants to follow in the footsteps of both Washington campaigners and B.C.’s successful anti-HST drive. The group aims to get enough signatures on a petition to force a provincial referendum on marijuana decriminalization, through B.C.’s Recall and Initiative Act. The proposed Sensible Policing Act would block B.C. police from spending time or resources on searches, seizures or arrests for simple cannabis possession. It’s time we take our antiquated marijuana laws and follow the lead of our neighbours to the south and let the people decide if it’s time for a change. –Black Press
Salmon mystery far from solved B
efore the 1,200-page, $25-million Cohen Commission report on the Fraser River sockeye salmon fishery slips beneath the waves, allow me to dip my toe into the river of data that has flowed by in the past three years. If your information on this hugely complex subject consisted of skimming a few news stories or watching protesters on TV, you will likely conclude what urban people have been indoctrinated with for years. The whole issue is salmon farms and whether they are bad or catastrophic. “Freeze new salmon farms on sockeye migration route: Cohen” said the headline on a Black Press report. Those who read past the headline would learn that Justice Bruce Cohen recommended a freeze on further salmon farms around the Discovery Islands group near Campbell River until 2020. It’s up to the industry to show by that time that the risk is “minimal,” or farms there should be shut down. A B.C. Salmon Farming Association spokesman said only nine of 70 B.C. salmon farms are in that area. There are no current applications for more.
Tom Fletcher
B.C. Views Let’s say you decide to plunge in, and download the full report from www. cohencommission.ca. If you go to Volume 2, page 102, you will see a series of graphs that show sockeye runs from rivers other than the Fraser, from Washington all the way up to Alaska. It’s not a pretty sight. From Washington up to the Central Coast, the Skeena, Nass and up to Yukon’s Klukshu and Alaska’s Alsek, most runs show a decline starting in the 1980s or early 1990s. This includes runs that migrate down the west side of Vancouver Island, away from salmon farms. Alaska doesn’t allow farms, preferring “ranching” – a strategy that floods the ocean habitat with millions of hatchery fish. These are commercially fished and marketed as “wild.”
decline. Impact from extra runoff due to pine beetle infestation couldn’t be evaluated. Poaching on the Fraser? Cohen didn’t get around to that. His biggest concern was climate change, warming sensitive river waters and affecting ocean conditions. During the Cohen commission hearings, the 2010 Fraser sockeye run came in gangbusters, with 35 million fish. One leading theory is that ash from an Alaska volcano fertilized the ocean, producing algae that supported more salmon feed. Could it be that salmon ranching from Alaska, Japan and elsewhere is simply depleting the food supply? That too is inconclusive. Finally, Tides Canada, a U.S. front group that diverts attention from U.S. salmon and oil tankers, spent $25,000 to publicize Cohen evidence. But only as it relates to B.C. salmon farms, and how bad they are. Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press and BCLocalnews.com tfletcher@blackpress.ca

B.C.’s North Coast has never had salmon farms. The area has been subject to a moratorium since an NDP-controlled legislative committee gave its verdict on the problem in 2008. The popular villain in those days was sea lice. Skeena MLA Robin Austin chaired the committee that called for an end to openpen salmon farms in five years. Then-agriculture minister Pat Bell approved one NDP recommendation, a moratorium on salmon farms in North Coast waters. This was after the Pacific Salmon Forum conducted its own four-year study, led by former fisheries minister John Fraser. Similar to Cohen, Fraser concluded that there is no simple answer to this complex problem. And they agreed that salmon farms don’t explain it. Cohen’s report makes it clear that the problem is far larger than could possibly be explained by salmon farms. How about logging impact? Cohen concludes after much testimony that stream protection has improved significantly during the time of observed sockeye

City focuses on landfill improvements
y now you will have received a special edition of the Q-City News regarding the changes to the Quesnel Landfill. There’s a lot of great information in that newsletter, but I thought Mary Sjostrrom I’d take a minute, MAYOR’S MESSAGE highlight some of the key points, and answer some issues into consideration of the questions I’ve been when making decisions. getting. Sometimes they are First off, it’s most environmental concerns; important to note that sometimes they are we are making the financial or social changes at the landfill concerns. for overall improvements The more sustainability to sustainability at the “pillars” are included landfill. I’ve written in a project, the more in the past about how sustainable a project it is. sustainability means The landfill is a great taking a wide A Nrange D of DECOR
model of a sustainable project. Our first concern is the environment. Controlling access to the landfill and what is deposited in it is a key environmental consideration. Operating a landfill is also an expensive venture. By controlling our costs, and lengthening the life of the landfill, we are being more fiscally responsible. So those are a couple of the key reasons behind making the changes. As for questions, the most common one I’ve heard is “Will I have to pay to drop off my garbage?” And for the vast majority, the answer is no.
As long as you are bringing household garbage to the landfill, and you have less than 350 kilograms of it, you won’t pay when the new fees take effect in January. That said, if you have a pick-up full of garbage, cardboard, recycling and other items, and you want to dump it all into one bin rather than sort it out, you will pay for it. Some of the other questions I get are around the hours and when the changes will take effect. On November 28, the landfill scales will open from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. During those hours, landfill visitors will use the scales and be weighed
in and out. This is a “test period” if you will – an opportunity for our staff and you to get used to the new system and the traffic flow. The landfill drop-off areas will remain open 24 hours a day until January 8. On January 9, the new fees and the scheduled hours of service will start up. This means the landfill will be open from 8 a.m to 6 p.m., seven days a week, with the scales in use at all times, and fees being charged when appropriate. As I mentioned, check out the special edition of the Q-City News we sent out last week. (If it’s
already made it to your recycling bin, don’t worry. You can download a copy from the City’s website at www.quesnel.ca). It should answer a lot of your questions! If we all take some time to recycle and dispose of our waste responsibly, we can help reduce our impact on the environment while saving taxpayer dollars in the future. Now that’s a win-win! Do you have a question for Mayor Mary Sjostrom? E-mail it to us at newsroom@ quesnelobserver.com and we’ll forward it to the Mayor so she can answer it in an upcoming column.

Alison Duddy relies on the availability of accessible parking spots. Laura Hobbs photo
Leave disabled parking spots for those who really need them ANNIE GALLANT Observer Reporter
A
s shoppers enter the hectic Christmas season, it’s time to give a little thought for those unable to jump out of their vehicle and run into a store or business. In recognition of these valued customers and clients, public and private parking areas have set aside disabled parking spots close to entry ways. Even if you believe you’ll only be briefly stopping at a given location, using the disabled parking spot prevents a deserving person access to these vital spots. Alison Duddy has been confined to a wheelchair for several years and knows the challenges presented to disabled people during the winter months. “Snow and slush are very difficult to navigate,” she said. “That’s why close parking spots are more
important than ever in the winter.” She added in summer she usually finds a central parking spot and can accomplish most of her errands from there, but in winter that isn’t always possible. “In winter crossing streets is one of the biggest challenges,” she said, “Snow accumulates in intersections.” She was quick to add that Quesnel isn’t any better or worse than other communities, however it is a problem everywhere. Duddy also said that misuse of the disabled parking spots also happens within the disabled community. Either through improper use of the a permit or not acquiring the proper permit. “These parking spaces are for persons with a disability, entering and exiting the vehicle,” she said. “The permit is attached to the person, not the
2012 QUESNEL
vehicle. The permit holder can use the display sign and access the spaces from any vehicle.” Duddy explained that often an able-bodied person parks in the spot, with a permit holder in the car, but it’s the ablebodied person who exits and enters the vehicle and that is a violation of the permit. The parking spaces can only be used when the disabled person is getting in and out of the vehicle. “We have gentle reminders we leave on windshields to remind non-permit holding drivers to please use the many other spaces available to them,” she said. “There’s various groups working on comprehensive programs for reporting and enforcement of proper permitted parking spaces but I’m not interested in regularly monitoring or reporting violations, I’d rather just leave a reminder should I happen
to see a violation. Many people aren’t even aware its an offence under the Motor Vehicle Act to park in a designated parking space without a valid permit. Duddy said parking close to the entrance is also a safety issue for those with disabilities, especially if they are in a wheelchair. “Wheeling through a parking lot is dangerous,” she said. “We’re lower to the ground and difficult to see from behind a vehicle.” She also said wider parking spots are crucial for anyone exiting their vehicle and trying to get into a wheelchair. Not only are designated parking spots being taken by able-bodied drivers, Duddy said with Quesnel’s growth rate, the community is likely to require more accessible parking spots. “I’ve often had difficulty finding an accessible parking spot,” she said. “We need more.”
Having been in a wheelchair for 25 years, Duddy said she’s seen huge strides forward in accessibility, but it still needs improvement. “I remember at first there were very few cut downs (slope from sidewalk to roadway) and virtually no accessible parking,” she said. “And I’m confident we’ll bridge the awareness gap between able-bodied and disabled. Together with Lynne Turner, who’s also in a wheelchair, we’ve had so much good feedback during our October awareness campaign.” Duddy said accessible awareness is going to be ongoing and they are looking for a comprehensive northern awareness campaign. “We travel just like everyone else,” she said. So as you are hurrying from one store to another, running into offices and facilities, remember, unless you are disabled, stay out of the designated

spots. The majority of public spots have upright signs but sometimes private spots are limited to surface signs which can’t be seen when snowcovered. However, until all designated spots have upright, forward-facing signs, remember where the spots are and stay out of them. “People shouldn’t have limited mobility because they can’t find accessible parking, it’s an exclusion issue,” Duddy said. “People should be able to access their community for as much as they want.” She also encourages speaking out, whether disabled or able-bodied when they notice misuse. “In a tactful way of course, this will help with awareness.” Those requiring a valid parking permit can contact www.spacbc. ca/parking-permit or contact Seniors Advocacy Service, 250-99198664 for details and requirements.

Community Water Ceremony
Join the interactive soundweaving celebration ANNIE GALLANT Observer Reporter
D
anielea Castell loves nature in a fiercely-passionate way and isn’t hesitant to show it. In addition to her communing with trees, Castell began focusing on water in the spring of 2012. “I am guided to do soundweaving where I believe our love can serve the most and right now this is waking up our living, loving relationship with water,” she said. “Although this is my response to the Northern Gateway proposed project, it also is in response to other threats to clean, accessible water in our everywhere.” Castell is bringing a group Water Ceremony to Quesnel, Nov. 18 at Ceal Tingley Park, 1 p.m. at the confluence of the Quesnel and Fraser Rivers. In partnership with Terri Boyd, a youth Elder with Lhtako Dene First Nations who will offer opening and closing prayers and prayers for the salmon which will be woven in between interactive water chants, group sound weaving, drumming
and prayers of gratitude for the Fraser River. Sound weaving is about harnessing the power of love and gratitude and directing it through intentional sound to connect, honour, appreciate, communicate and ultimately bond with local natural water, Castell said. In order to assist people in this pursuit, she is also offering workshops, totally 9.5 hours, Nov. 16 – 17. “I invite people who really love nature and desire to have a creative way to express their love directly with nature,” Castell said. She went on to say the part of her that creates the bridge to nature is in her body and is drawing on her innocent playful childlike self. “It’s my authentic self I offer in sound and song and nature responds to me,” she said. “One of the key parts of the workshop is looking at barriers to fully feeling our love for nature, e.g., guilt and grief over what’s going on in the world and our lifestyle choices. In the workshop I help
people move through those barriers through healing medicine melodies.” She also said people have limited confidence in their voice with comments like “I can’t sing” or “I’m not good enough.” “I haven’t had any lessons and I say to people ‘what you think is beautiful is the sound of my love’ and the sound of everyone’s love is always beautiful and true,” Castell said. One of her main musical instruments is the North American frame drum and she will be teaching the basics of drumming in the workshop as well. “Drumming is also a simple direct way to connect with mother earth.” Which all come together in the Water Ceremony through sound weaving. “Sound weaving is a form of sound healing,” she said. “Its power comes from clear intention, visualization, focus, repetition and the energy of love and gratitude, magnified by the number of people. This is why we come together in groups as we do in the community Water Ceremony.”
Participants of the water ceremony will also be asked to bring a jar of water they have gathered from a favourite natural source and an organic offering gathered by the person to give to the river – which can include plants, wood, crystal, rock or other organic items. To pre-register for the workshops to be held at the Sun and
Sage Yoga studio, 394 Anderson Dr., contact Doris Stonehouse, dorristonehouse@ hotmail.com or call 250-9928990. Castell’s website is www. oneconsciousvoice. com The public is invited to attend the free Water Ceremony on Sunday beginning at 1 p.m. in Ceal Tingley Park.

Playing with the big dogs
Clan earns berth in provincials down south JONAS GAGNON Observer Reporter There’s at least one group of people thankful for the brief respite the storms allowed them. The Correlieu Clan Soccer team headed into zones with an injured team member in goal, while Coach Rob McGregor tried to find a plug for the injured player’s spot as striker. The team, as it looked going into the provincials, looked nothing like the team McGregor usually fielded. “It was a whole different team,” McGregor said. Their first game, against the P.G.S.S. crew, ended up looking really bad for the team, as they went down to the Prince George team, 4-0. Between the injured tender, who was reluctant to kick the ball due to his leg
injury, and a P.G.S.S. player who seemed to be able to score at will netting the P.G.S.S. boys three points in the game, the Clan couldn’t manage to do anything in the Prince George end. The Dawson Creek team was easier, though the Correlieu boys were still in emergency set up. Despite the unorthodox set up, the Clan beat Dawson Creek 4-2. So, with P.G.S.S. sitting at two wins, Correlieu with a split win and a loss and Dawson Creek sitting at two losses, the snow hit Prince George on Oct. 28 and the city closed down the soccer fields and the teams retreated to their respective cities to regroup and let Prince George plan the next step of the tournament. After the fallout, P.G.S.S. found an indoor pitch, at U.N.B.C. for the teams to continue the tournament on.
Dawson Creek decided to forfeit to save on expenses. Correlieu, however, came back with almost their whole usual team in action. Levi Glover, who was playing at a hockey tournament during the previous games, had hurt his shoulder in the tournament and was unable to play. Wyllie Mednis, who had been playing goal injured previously, had healed enough to play in his usual striker position, so Konrad Teetzen had been cycled to goal keeping duties. Knowing he had an edge with his new set up of players, McGregor went into the game with high hopes. Teetzen opened up The Clan’s scoring in his new position in goal. The game stayed close through the first half but began to open up in the second, with the Clan scoring two back-to-back, which discouraged the P.G.S.S. team,
who had expected an easy win like last time. After a second half heavy with scoring, the score sat at 8-7 in favour of the Quesnel boys, upsetting the strong P.G.S.S. team. The Correlieu Clan next takes on 16 teams from the Lower Mainland in provincials. McGregor is optimistic his team will stand their ground against the Lower Mainland squads. “We’ve played four or five Lower Mainland teams and have been competitive every time,” he said. They will, however, come up against the number one ranked team early in the tournament, as they will be seeded in the lower half of the positions not being a in the Lower Mainland ranking system. The team is back on the pitch Nov. 2224 in Burnaby.

Winter crickets JONAS GAGNON Observer Reporter
A sport of green fields, white attire and the kindly sun, Canadian winters can put a kink in cricket, but the club here in Quesnel is sidestepping old man winter's heavy white jacket by bringing their game indoors. This weekend, the cricket club will be inside at the QYSA facilities keeping the edge on their game on November 18th, 3 p.m. The club will hold practices three times a month, except in Nov. which will have two practices, through the winter, ending in early April.

DLE jumped into the lead in the second end with a shocking four ender against the Karin's Deli and Health Foods team. Despite some questionable shot calling and shaky deliveries by the DLE squad, they held off Karin's team as they put the pressure on for the rest of the game.
