Kettle kick-off Since the first kettle was set up in 1891 in San Francisco and the first in Canada in 1906 in St. Johnn’s, Newfoundland, kettle workers (or bell ringers) have relied on the public’s generosity and the familiar kettles are now seen in more than 2,000 locations across Canada. This year in Quesnel there will be five permanent kettle locations set up Monday – Friday, Dec. 1 – 24, as well as a roving kettle which will be out at various locations across the city. Previously, the kettle campaign has raised in excess of $30,000 in Quesnel and that is this year’s goal as well. With the help of generous donors, the Salvation Army in Quesnel hopes to raise an additional $40,000 through its mail-out campaign as well. This money continues to allow the Salvation Army to operate various programs which continue to support those most in need in the community. This past year, 16,000 hot meals were served and 1,440 food bank hampers were distributed as well as many other services and programs which aim to promote dignity and well-being for those in the community. The Salvation Army would like to thank the commuinity for all it’s done in the past and continues to do today to support the Salvation Army.

After more than three weeks at large Shadow Laflamme has turned himself in. At approximately 9:15 a.m. Nov. 26, Laflamme turned himself in at the Quesnel RCMP Detachment. Laflamme was 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. The 22-year-old fled from police Nov. 2, 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 remains in police custody until his next court appearance Tuesday morning. Check further Observers for updates.

City presents affordable housing strategy

DANIKA M. HEBERT Observer Reporter The city of Quesnel hosted a meeting Monday afternoon to discuss plans regarding an affordable housing strategy. The city worked with Wilco van Bemmel, of Dunefield Consulanting from the Netherlands, to help put together a strategic plan as well as prioritize Quesnel’s affordable housing needs. Three main priority items were found: • Improve the quality of emergency and transitional housing options for people in immediate need • Provide more supportive housing options for those who can’t live independently (yet) • Provide more low-cost and attractive market housing options for independent seniors and single income households Each priority was further broken down into different goals to help achieve said priority item. The goals for the first priority are to bring and keep current accommodations in good physical condition and add space for much needed services. These goals have been broken down

“We’re developing a community with all the parts and pieces.” Tanya Turner, city planner

into two items which will combine to achieve the goal. The first item is to have Seasons House in good physical condition, with four to eight new emergency beds as well as two to four new youth beds within the next three years. The second item is to have the Amata House in good physical condition and have it more accessible with an improved children’s area in the next four to eight years. The second priority item hopes to “create supportive housing in safe and stable environments that meet the needs of singles, single parents and seniors,” according to the strategy. To help achieve this priority item, the strategy plans for 10 to 15 more supportive homes for singles, single parents and seniors in the next three years as well as 20 to 40 more supportive homes for singles, single parents and seniors in the next four to eight years. According to the strategy, the third priority aims to “implement incentives to stimulate market development

of diverse, medium-density and affordable housing options.” To help reach those goals, van Bemmel would like to see 10 to 25 more affordable homes for median income households in the next three years and an additional 40 to 75 more affordable homes for median income households in the next four to eight years. City planner Tanya Turner was on hand to speak to the strategy and said she’s “proud of what’s happening here.” “Housing is a basic need,” Turner added. “We’re developing a community with all the parts and pieces.” Turner also explained affordable housing means more than cheap homes. It means providing housing options for all kinds of demographics. It’s more about having safe, affordable and attainable housing for different needs. As this is just a draft, any suggestions from the public are encouraged.

Are you looking for the right time to replace that smokebelching woodstove you’re using? If so, the time is now. Cariboo residents are being offered a cash incentive to upgrade their old woodstoves as part of the Cariboo Woodstove Exchange Program. There are only 25 rebates in total. Therefore, it is on a first come first serve basis that residents who replace older inefficient models with more efficient and clean-burning appliances can receive a cash rebate. Did you know that new certified wood stoves burn onethird less wood and can reduce smoke and particulate matter entering the atmosphere by as much as 90 per cent. The first 25 stoves to be turned in are eligible for a $250 provincial rebate and if residents live within the Quesnel Airshed boundaries they will receive an additional $300, meaning there’s as much as $550 available. The Woodstove Exchange Program is not only helping British Columbians replace inefficient appliances but also helping to raise public awareness about the importance of smokefree burning. For more information about the Wood Stove Exchange Program, call the Exchange Hotline in Quesnel at 250-992-5833 or toll free at 1-877-9925833.

fundraising efforts. All funds stay here in Quesnel for environmental projects and help to provide quality nature education programs for youth and adults. This year’s holiday fundraising campaign features over 40 different wildlife prints. With a tax deductible donation of $40 or more you can choose one of these limited edition pieces of art. As an added bonus, Carrie’s Custom Picture Framing is offering 15 per cent discount custom frames for the wildlife prints. Baker Creek Enhancement Society is a testament to what a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can accomplish if they roll up their sleeves and pitch in. What started out

as clean-up of the Baker Creek has turned into one of the most long-enduring environmental stewardship groups in Canada. BCES would like to remind everyone to shop local and help reduce waste and excess this holiday season. You may find it rewarding to exercise your creativity and decorate your home using easy-to-find natural items. Pine cones, fir and cedar boughs, ribbon, popcorn and dried fruit are traditional decorations that go a long way toward creating a holiday atmosphere. If we all take little steps toward environmental wellness, the cumulative impact will be huge!

The Cariboo Regional District (CRD) met with good success on the resolutions floor at the Union of British Columbia Municipalities (UBCM) in Victoria. The CRD had submitted a total of 10 resolutions to be discussed and voted on the resolutions floor; nine were endorsed by the UBCM membership. The successful resolutions included: • Strategic Engagement Agreements • Community Access Program Funding • Protection of Potable Water • Fencing Adjacent to Highways • Fencing of Agricultural Interface The CRD resolution which was not endorsed by the membership dealt with Noxious Weeds & Range Lands. During the convention, the CRD, along with the mayors of 100 Mile House, Quesnel, and Williams Lake had the opportunity to meet with Premier Christy Clark and

the Minister of Jobs, Tourism and Skills Training and the Minister Responsible for Labour, the Honourable Pat Bell. During this session, the CRD discussed its Strong Regions report and the need for increased alternative revenue streams for local governments. The province has committed to working with the CRD to potentially act upon some of the recommendation laid out in the report. “It was a productive conference for the Cariboo Chilcotin. With an array of excellent speakers and professional development opportunities, we are able to bring back information and key learning’s to continue building communities together,” CRD Chair Al Richmond said. “I would like to commend the board and staff for taking concepts and

issues raised by our residents and turning them into successful and meaningful resolutions such as the Rural Tourism Assessments.” Cariboo Chilcotin Regional Hospital District (CCRHD) Chair, John Massier and staff had the

opportunity to meet with the new Minister of Health, the Honourable Dr. Margaret MacDiarmid. Chair Massier, expressed the CCRHD’s concern in ensuring the Cariboo Memorial Hospital Master Plan be given priority.

Sales of Pacific Western Brewing’s low-priced Cariboo beer line helped push the company’s production up to a tax threshold that could have triggered millions in retroactive taxes and forced a pre-Christmas shutdown of the Prince George company.

Black Press photo

Tax change helps small breweries TOM FLETCHER Black Press The B.C. government has changed its policy for taxing smaller breweries, to stave off a possible pre-Christmas shutdown at a Prince George brewery and promote growth in the craft brewing business. Smaller breweries are taxed at a lower rate than big commercial operations, until this week paying a flat tax of $1.75 per litre of bottled or canned beer and $1.20 per litre of draft. That rate applied until annual production reached 16 million litres, at which point the higher commercial brewery rate applied to the entire production run. Reaching that threshold would trigger a tax increase in the millions of dollars and Pacific Western Brewing of Prince George was the only B.C. producer getting close, partly from increased sales of their low-priced line of Cariboo beers. The company notified its employees last week that it was facing a shutdown for

HiV is a real concern within our communities. You can contract HIV primarily through unprotected sex and by sharing needles. HIV can live in your body for years without you knowing and all the while you can be passing it to others. At least 25 per cent of people who are HIV+ do not know and these 25 per cent are estimated to be responsible for 75 per cent of new infections. Northern Health, in collaboration with its community partners, is working with the Province of BC to prevent the spread of HIV by expanding HIV testing, treatment, and support services to British Columbians.

OPINIONS

Believer beware

t’s less than a month to the apocalypse. Have you finished your Christmas shopping yet? Will you even bother, considering the end of the world is nigh? The ancient Mayans predicted Armageddon for Dec. 21, 2012, the date they stopped calculating their calendar. That’s when the renowned astrologers and mathematicians said the 26,000 year grand cycle of evolution would cataclysmically crash to a halt. The Mayans aren’t the only doomsayers. Christian denominations reference a Judgement Day that is the culmination of a great battle between good and evil. Ancient Norse mythology foretold of a final showdown between the gods. There are physicists who calculate the end of mankind as a mathematical inevitability, astronomers who say it’s only a matter of time until we’re all snuffed out by a collision with an asteroid or the demise of the sun, geologists who predict we’re one giant volcano eruption away from eternal darkness. And don’t forget, there were some computer scientists who said Y2K would be the demise of us all. Of course, for every doomsday scenario, there’s a screenwriter poised at a keyboard trying to turn it into the latest Hollywood blockbuster to be directed by disaster-meister Roland Emmerich. There’s nothing like a little end-ofdays escapist entertainment to help take your mind off your current problems, like paying the mortgage, getting the kids to soccer practice, chafer bugs decimating your lawn. It’s all enough to make you curl up in a ball on the couch and tune in for that marathon session of Dr. Phil you’ve been denying yourself for so long. Or maybe empty your bank account and go on one last spree of travel, trinkets and T-bone steaks. Just keep in mind, when it comes to doomsday predictions, it’s believer beware.

Poverty of politics continues

.C.’s ritual day of shame over child poverty has come and gone once again, with politicians trading blame and time-worn talking points. The occasion was an annual gathering staged at the B.C. Teachers’ Federation office in downtown Vancouver. It is organized by First Call, an umbrella group sponsored by the BCTF, the B.C. Government Employees’ Union and a collection of like-minded “anti-poverty activists,” as they describe themselves in their latest report. The familiar script unfolded. The report misinterprets federal income statistics from two years ago and calls for a long list of uncosted, but hugely expensive measures that they assert will make B.C. the first jurisdiction in human history to eradicate poverty. A sampling: provide raises for employees and contractors at all levels of government until they are making an unspecified “living wage,” because we all know how public sector workers uniquely suffer from pay and pension inequality. Raise the minimum wage again and index

B.C. Views it to inflation. Establish universal public dental care, prescription drug and eye care programs, and daycare. (Dismiss targeted programs that already provide this.) Raise welfare rates and expand eligibility for employment insurance. Cut tuition and provide more student grants. Eliminate homelessness. And so it continues toward a socialist Utopia and certain bankruptcy for provincial and federal governments already deeply in the red. I wrote about these numbers when Statistics Canada released them back in June. They showed a modest improvement nationally and provincially in what they measure, which is not poverty, but the relative relationship between income groups. First Call dismisses that improvement as “a dismal record.” My point is not to deny

script. The best path out of poverty is a job, she said. This is true, but also obvious. Then Cadieux went on about the “B.C. Jobs Plan,” which has its own sorry record of misrepresented federal statistics. Here’s one of the report’s more blindingly obvious section headings: “Child poverty concentrated in big cities.” No kidding. The whole population is concentrated in big cities. Herein lies a clue that is missed by “activists” for ever-larger government. Poor people are increasingly crowded into the most expensive places. If I’m on welfare or working in a low-wage job and receiving a provincial rent subsidy (one of those things LICO doesn’t measure), should I live in downtown Victoria or Vancouver? Shouldn’t I relocate to a smaller community where housing is cheaper? There are lots of complications to this, but some kind of incentive to relocate could help big and small communities.

that there are many poor people in B.C. and Canada. There are. But at this point we don’t even have a reliable way of measuring the problem, let alone effective solutions. The report states: “Statistics Canada said the child poverty rate in Greater Vancouver was 18.4 per cent in 2010 …” No, Statistics Canada didn’t say that. They said what they always say, that “LowIncome Cut-Off,” or LICO figures, are not an accurate measure of poverty. The political response was equally predictable. Veteran NDP MP Libby Davies led the charge in Ottawa. The government must establish a national anti-poverty strategy with firm annual goals, she said, reciting the identical script of the B.C. NDP. Davies didn’t mention that Manitoba is among the provinces with such a plan. It’s the only province that finished below B.C. in the percentage of children living in low-income homes. These plans are mainly gesture politics, providing the appearance of action. Social Development Minister Stephanie Cadieux spoke on behalf of the B.C. Liberal government, and she, too, stuck to a familiar

Ever-changing Sky: A Cariboo memoir

Doris Lee had been married less than two years when she moved from northern California with her husband, John, to Big Lake. It was February, 1951, an odd time of year to start ranching in the Cariboo. To top it off, Doris was a city girl from Redding and hardly prepared for such a radical shift in lifestyle. John was several years older than she and grew up on a ranch. Doris was a school teacher with only a couple years of teaching under her belt. She had different dreams and ambitions than heading to the wilds of British Columbia so far from family and friends. But it was the woman’s duty in those days to go where her husband could support his family and she did. In fairness, John was a kind and gentle man and allowed his wife to make the difficult choice to join him as a rancher’s wife so far away from home. It took Doris several years to stop being homesick and to learn the skills of backwoods living. She persevered and drew on her strength of character learning to pull calves,

work in the hay fields, trap, hunt, herd their big flocks of sheep into the alpine of Yank’s Peak north of Likely and raise their two sons, Michael and Gary. Sixty years later she sat down to write her story. Doris’ memoir, EverChanging Sky: From Schoolteacher to Cariboo Rancher, published by Caitlin Press, takes the reader by the hand on an intriguing journey. Through the eyes of a newcomer, you are introduced to the demands of ranching, the warm friendliness of country neighbours, the challenges of making do

without all the modern conveniences, putting food by for the winter, the births and raising of her two boys, trapping, hunting, guiding, breeding and training Kelpie stock dogs and some hairraising adventures. “Despite the many tears and exciting and sometimes horrendous experiences, I had accomplished the feat of becoming a rancher’s wife,” she writes. She was now considered a good hunter and an excellent shot. “I was also a rugged individual who could strap on a backpack and compete with the best. Guiding was

something I could do well.” Doris tells of one discovery in August 1963, while exploring with her kids at their Yank’s Peak sheep camp. Following some blazes they came upon a towering grave marker. It was inscribed, “Sacred to the memory of William Luce – Native of Maine, USA, Died 28 May, 1881, Aged 60 years.” Nearly 30 years later, Doris took historian, Dave Falconer to the site and the grave marker was still there unchanged except for a lengthwise crack. They took the headboard to the Cedar Creek Museum in Likely and left a replica in its place. Doris Lee will be at the Quesnel Museum Tea on Dec. 1, 1 – 3 p.m. to personally autograph copies of Ever-Changing Sky: From Schoolteacher to Cariboo Rancher. She will be joined by Williams Lake author, Sage Birchwater, who will have copies of his latest book Flyover British Columbia’s Cariboo Chilcotin Coast that he co-authored with Chris Harris. – Submitted by Sage Birchwater

CAPSULE COMMENTS With Jessica Joly B.Sc. (Pharm)

The safety of cutting boards in your kitchen was tested 20 years ago in the U.S. They compared wooden to plastic boards and found that the wooden ones had less bacteria in them than the plastic ones. Plastic boards were dishwashersafe but the temperature of the water in dishwashers wasn’t high enough to disinfect the boards. Glass and metal boards disinfect easily but also dull knives quicker. The “morning-after pill” is 89% effective if taken up to 72 hours after intercourse. It is available in pharmacies across Canada without a prescription. Our pharmacist staff can talk to you about this product. Chest discomfort is not a symptom of a stroke. It could be a sign of a heart attack, though. Stroke symptoms include weakness, confusion, difficulty speaking, vision problems, headache and dizziness or loss of balance. Call 911 immediately and you will greatly improve your chances of survival and recovery. The popular “liberation treatment” for Multiple Sclerosis has not proved that effective. Newfoundland recently did a study on those who had the therapy and concluded that the treatment resulted in no real permanent positive outcomes. It’s important to be an advocate for your own health. Be an active learner about all health matters and treatments, including the drugs you take. We can help you with this information.

QDHPCA offers a reading resource

SAVE TIME. SAVE MONEY.

Quesnel and District Hospice Palliative Care Association have donated books to School District 28 for students to read, helping them come to terms with a significant loss. Left to right: QDHPCA board member Darlene Osborne, elementary counsellors Emily Ingram, Niki Mamic, Rubyn Anderson, Elizabeth Clode and QDHPCA co-ordinator of volunteers and grief support Karin Lynch puruse the various books donated. “In donating resources to the school libraries, we hope the children will read them at their leisure. If a death or loss occurs maybe they will remember the story in the book they read and will remember they too can work their way through their feelings,” QDHPCA president Sally Service said. “These resources will help children understand that grief and loss is normal and natural. Hopefully it will make death less frightening.” These resources will help the staff support grieving children in the community. So much of a child’s day is spent in the school environment where teachers, principals, school counsellors and support staff see the sadness, the tears and frustrations children go through when they suffer a significant loss.

It is with great sadness to announce the sudden passing of H.E . Ted Speer. Ted passed away at the Prince George Regional Hospital Nov.13, 2012 after a short illness and surgery. His loving wife and soul mate was by his side. Ted was born in Vancouver BC March 4, 1942. He and his brother moved frequently from coast to coast and many places in between with their parents thru childhood as their father was in the RAF. At the age of six Ted was stricken with Polio and spent some time in a wheel-chair. This however did not hold him back but rather assisted him in developing determination to become an achiever in life. While growing up, Ted and his family enjoyed summer visits to grandparents at Sayward BC. That is where Ted learned from his grandfather the skill and love of fishing and boating. Those two enjoyments were what Ted loved to do all his life. In his latter teens Ted joined the military and was a member of The Queen’s Own Rifles. With honourable discharge he left the military about the same time his father was leaving the RAF. In 1960 Ted with a young wife, accompanied the rest of his family to move to Quesnel. The family bought ranch land south of Kersley and formed Green Mountain Ranch venturing into the ranching industry. Starting off with a very small number of cattle, Ted had to find other

means of income to support his growing family. He found work at the Kersley Sawmill but with no vehicle he walked many miles in all types of weather to earn very small dollars. It was also at this time, in the late 1960’s, in order to continue helping the ranch and his family he formed the first roping school in Quesnel which has now grown to what it is today. On weekends from the late 1960’s until 2001 with his family, he enjoyed attending and participating in local and surrounding rodeos. He was very successful at winning prizes including cash. Ted moved forward into logging trees off the ranch. Since logging provided better income he concentrated on his logging along with the roping school’s, which helped the ranch to grow. Over the years Green Mountain Ranch became very successful and prominent in the community. In the late 1980’s Green Mountain Ranch was sold and Ted moved onto being a cowboy, a ranch hand and or foreman at well known ranches such as The Stirling and The Gang Ranch. In Ted’s working career he was also a logging truck driver for many years. Ted actively contributed and assisted the late Hon. Alex Fraser (Politician) in a successful political campaign in the late 1960’s. Ted was a member of The Quesnel Cattleman’s Association for many years. He was a past member of the IRA, CPRA and BCRA. He was a member of The

Quesnel Rod and Gun Club and The Quesnel Power Squadron. Ted was predeceased by his father Vernon (Vern) Speer, his mother Catherine (Kay) Speer and brother Bob Speer (Valerie). He is survived by and greatly missed by his wife Isobel (Susie) Speer Daughters: Lindy Gilson (Mike), Barb Nicholson, Angie Speer Son: Steve Dubuc Speer (Debbie) Stepson: Jamie Dubuc Speer (Carol) Stepdaughters: Christine Olsen (Jason), Susan Walton (Dennis), Lisa Williams (Byron). Grandsons: Shawn and Tim Gilson, Dustin Nicholson, Cody Ernst, Justin Speer (Jessica), Tyler and Travis Speer. Grand Daughters: Jody Gilson, Melissa Brousseau (Jeremy). Step-Grandsons: Keith Brown (Tatiana), Jason Brown (Pamela), Brandon Baker, Trevor Olsen, Chris Walton, Ryan Williams.

Costs of generic drugs reduced

The B.C. government is moving ahead with a new price policy for generic drugs that will reduce the cost by 10 per cent starting April 1. The new policy sets the price of generic substitutes at 25 per cent of the brand-name product, whether the cost is paid by the B.C. Pharmacare program, private health insurance or the patient. A further reduction to 20 per cent is set to take effect in April 2014. The health ministry cited the example of Lipitor, a widely prescribed drug for reducing cholesterol. A one-month supply of the brand-name drug costs $55, and in April the cost of a generic equivalent will go from $19 to $15. The 2014 decrease will take it to $11 a month. Health Minister Margaret MacDiarmid said the second reduction will make B.C. generic drug prices the lowest in Canada for some drugs, and save the Pharmacare program about $110 million over the first two years. The provincial savings will be reinvested in the B.C. health care system, some of it in Pharmacare, MacDiarmid said. The budget for Pharmacare has risen by about 80 per cent in the past decade, but MacDiarmid said there have been offsetting savings as new drugs improve treatment and reduce the need for surgery. NDP health critic Mike Farnworth said the B.C. Liberal government has made the right move, but it should have done it in 2010 when Ontario took action. Now some of the savings are at risk again as the federal government negotiates a trade agreement with the European Union.

Perhaps that heavy snowfall in late October provided a wake up call to do something about winter tires, preparing flower beds, seeing to water barrels, unhooking hoses and other preparations for winter. Somehow those brochures depicting a cruise in a warmer climate seem attractive momentarily. But when I get back to reality it’s easy to get caught up in the anticipation of the flurry of events leading up to the Christmas season. But just what would we miss if we were to leave for a warmer climate? One must keep in mind this is very difficult time for those who have lost a loved one and the cheery music is not in sync with their mood. Some of the bazaars and craft sales have already occurred and there’s a line up of things to come including special concerts and Christmas dinners. The Indoor Farmers’ Market is scheduled at the Quesnel

SENIOR’S UPDATE and District Recreation Centre Dec. 1 and Dec. 8. Again a gentle reminder to think of your neighbour who may not have transportation after hours for buses.

CHRISTMAS OPEN HOUSE One of the events to keep in mind may be the Christmas Open House at Century 21. The Seniors Advocacy Service would like to thank our great community of Quesnel for all their support this past year. You are invited to attend Century 21’s office at 353 Reid Street where we are located for some hot cocoa and cookies Nov. 30,

7 – 9 p.m. while you are enjoying Midnight Madness Shopping downtown. All children with parents, please attend. Merry Christmas, Susan, Ruth and volunteer staff. A special thank you to everyone who so generously supported our annual Musical evening at Northstar Baptist Church, Nov. 24. The public gave to both SAS and Good Cheer in record donations.

GERIATRIC TEAM A total of 42 people turned out Nov. 15 at the Golden Centre to Dr. Larry Dian’s ‘Successful Aging’ presentation. Dr. Dian of Vancouver has been attending in Quesnel since the inception of the Geriatric Assessment Team and his presentation was brought to us by Northern Health Home and Community Care. He touched on a number of topics including diet, lifestyle, habits, our attitude, the importance of exercise

and taking vitamin D. Dr. Dian answered some of the questions from the floor following a slide presentation. He reminded us that our body changes as we age and encouraged us or have someone look up Successful Aging information on Google with respect to our own health issues that we may be concerned about. Looking at the Second 50 Years of our Life, it states psychologist’s research is changing their attitude about what it takes to live the good and longer life. Joe Volz, of the Monitor Staff says, “the urgency, now, has begun to shift from that of medically prolonging life to ensuring that a prolonged life is worth living.” Thanks also to the OAPO Golden Centre for making the presentation possible free of charge. Ruth Scoullar is a seniors’ advocate and regular Observer contributor.

A ‘Roos weekend

3,156 km, 14 points, 1 win, 1 loss and a lot of hockey

Rampage captain Jared Meers looks on as his shot is stopped by Quesnel's Ryan Manderson during third period action on Sunday afternoon.

JONAS GAGNON Observer Reporter The ‘Roos gained two points and a lot of kilometres in last weekend’s travel-happy double header. Waking up with a hockeyhangover Monday morning, after getting home in the wee hours of the morning following a game and bus ride back from Prince Rupert, coach Brian Kozak was grateful for his team, who showed up despite the hardship of hitting the office after a long weekend of travel and hard hitting hockey. The ‘Roos opened up their weekend Saturday against the Western Division–leading Kitimat Ice Demons. Despite a strong showing from the ‘Roos, the Ice Demons ran away with the game in the third, with a 6-1 win. “We had a good chance to turn the game around,” coach Brian Kozack said, “ but we just didn’t capitalize.” The final was not visible in the first two period of play, through which the two teams played a near-even game, but attrition tripped up the ‘Roos finally in the third. The Ice Demons opened up

the scoring in the fifth minute of play, with Wade Masch weilding the stick that did it. Then, the ‘Roos lost Harvey Gilks to an injury after he was clipped on the chin by a defenseman’s helmet on what was otherwise a clean check. After 20 minutes of play both the score and shots on goal, 10-12 in favour of the Demons, were close. A set of back-to-back goals in the scond rocked the ‘Roos back on their heels. Daniel Jerret got the first of the two goals, logging his at 7:25. Not nine seconds later, Kory Finn netted the second of the period to put the Ice Demons up three to nothing. Through ten more minutes of play, the ‘Roos battled hard to get back within striking distance. Just over a minute before the end of the period, Joey MacDonald managed to get the ‘Roos first, and only, goal, putting them only two points behind. Disaster struck in the final seconds of the second when

Joel Boyetchko got thrown out for slashing after his stick rebounded off a defensman’s stick and went up into his face, drawing blood. Waylon L’Heureux got caught up in the penalties when he went over to talk to the refs and got a minor for unsportsman-like conduct. This sent the ‘Roos into the third with two penalties to kill, which they did. “Our penalty kill was absolutely incredible on the weekend,” Kozack said. The ‘Roos were now down two players on the game, with another player having stayed home because of the flu, the team was low on lines and tiring. The Ice Demons saw their chance and pounced. Terry Whelan was the first to take advantage of the situation, scoring half-way through the third. Ian Coleman then knocked two in within three minutes of each other to make the final score. Sunday, the ‘Roos played the second of the weekend’s two games, facing off against the

Prince Rupert Rampage on their home turf. The ‘Roos came out hard against the Rampage in the first, getting a team hat trick of sorts — an even strength goal, a power play goal and a shorthanded goal. Nick Tomassetti netted both the first and third goal of the first. “He had a hell of a game,” said Kozack. The first goal came about six minutes into the first, when Tomassetti came in on his offwing, pulled a head fake that fooled the goalie, who went down, then put it top shelf, cracking it off the crossbar on its way in. Joel Boyetchko joined in halfway through the period to put the ‘Roos in a comfortable lead. Then Tomassetti, after beating two defencemen to find free space in a breakaway, then fooling the goalie again – going right when the goalie guessed left, notched up the final goal in the first. The second wasn’t quite so lovely for the ‘Roos.

Jared Davis started the unsuccessful comeback against the ‘Roos, flipping one past goalie Ryan Manderson at 4:48 into the second. Jean-Luc Fournier was next up, engaging warp ten to score two minutes later. Keith Muvold got the tying goal with just over three minutes left in the second, setting the stage for a nailbiting third. With pressure mounting, the ‘Roos gave everything they had not to let success slip away, unfortunately the refs saw everything as too much, keeping the ‘Roos short of a full five for the duration of the third. With their penalty kill on point, the ‘Roos closed down every chance for the Rampage, whether short-handed or even strength at four-on-four. On an evened-up call early in the period, Justin Fulton, the lead scorer in the CIHL, took the chance, scoring the go ahead goal. After that the ‘Roos hung on, despite a hard working Rampage, coming out the other side with the 4-3 win. The ‘Roos head out on the road once again this Friday to take on the Williams Lake Stampeders.

Correlieu just short of provincials JONAS GAGNON Observer Reporter

The Correlieu senior girls fought for the continuation of their season, mid-month in Prince George. The girls faced P.G.S.S. and North Peace Senior Secondary in their zones, beating both in round robin before a heart breaking loss in the second round. The Correlieu girls were facing off against the 4-A zones teams in an effort to make provincials and continue their season. Despite the loss, Coach Mick Windt is proud of hit team's play. "I'm very pleased with how well the team played," Windt said. "In the final we played very strong again, but not quite enough." The team was looking good in the preliminary rounds. Their first challenge was a strong P.G.S.S. team. Despite meeting P.G.S.S. on home turf, the Correlieu girls took the three game set in the first two, beating P.G.S.S. 2519, then 25-18. The girls then went on to play North Peace. North Peace challenged Correlieu, pushing the meeting

to three matches before capitulating before Correlieu. Correlieu took the first match 25-20, but, with their backs against the wall, North Peace came back to win the second set 25-18, leaving the decision for the third game. Now facing a loss for the first time in the tournament, Correlieu planted themselves and took the game 15-8. The wins against both teams in their zone earned them a bye into the finals as P.G.S.S. and North Peace vied for a place in the finals. North Peace came out on top, so Saturday afternoon Correlieu faced a rematch against the girls who had pushed them to three games in a best-of-five match. The North Peace girls came out hard against Correlieu, gaining momentum in their first win, 25-22, that Correlieu never found the chance to break as North Peace continued to win. They took the second game 25-20 and the third 25-22 to take the match in three games. Jordan Pawluk and Brooke Garvin were named to the all-star team in the

Though the loss and exclusion from provincials was difficult, Windt is happy with the girls season "We've had one of their best seasons in a number of years and have been a great team to coach," Windt said, citing good tournament results in a competitive field.

Super skills, Super League Curlers were super busy again last weekend slipping about on ice in an effort to put stones close to dots. Particularly proficient at the dot finding was DLE who managed to out score A&W. In the feature match, the Kubota boys feasted on the A&Ws, one buddy burger at a time, finishing at 5-0 and "shut the front door." Billy Barker and Investors group played to a much closer finish, with Billy Barker taking the match 7-5. With a steady day on the market, the Investors made sound investments, until the market turned bear. At the closing bell, the people decided to gamble their bets on the Billy Barker Casino for the win. JAR and Karin's Deli layer everything they had down on sheet 'D'. In a tightly fought game, JAR stole one in the eighth to get the win over Karin's Deli. Over on sheet 'E' it was an even closer game

between Frank's and Cariboo. It took two extra ends before the eve revenge effluent makers ran out of steam, and it was the Frank's beaters smiling long and proud with the 8-7 victory. Free jackets were given out to diehard fans. CDC found a much easier game in the 6-3 win over Willis Harper. Willis Harper came riding in on their magic carpet, but the kids swept them under the rug, maintaining sole possession of first place. There was no lesson that day — school's out. The curlers will get down with their bad selves on the ice this Wednesday at 7:30.
