Pumpkin Cake
Soft, moist, and perfectly spiced, this Pumpkin Cake with cream cheese is going to disappear fast. Packed with flavor without being overly sweet, everyone will want a slice!
• For the Pumpkin Cake:
• 2 cups all-purpose flour (240g)
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 1½ teaspoons ground ginger
• ¼ teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1½ cups granulated sugar (300g)
• 1 15-ounce can pumpkin puree
• 1 cup vegetable oil (240mL)
• 4 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
For the Cream Cheese Frosting:
• ¾ cup unsalted butter room temperature, (Continued on page 7)
(170g)
• 8 ounces cream cheese room temperature, (226g)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• pinch of salt
• 3 cups powdered sugar sifted (360g)
• Instructions
For the Pumpkin Cake:
• Preheat the oven to 350F. Butter and flour a 9x13-inch cake pan or spray with baking spray with flour.
• In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and salt.
• In a separate bowl, whisk together sugar, pumpkin, oil, eggs, and vanilla, until smooth. Pour into the flour mixture and stir together just until combined. Pour into the prepared cake pan.
• Bake for 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few crumbs. Let cool completely on a wire rack.
• For the Cream Cheese Frosting:
• In a large mixing bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter until smooth. Add the cream cheese and beat on medium-low speed until the mixture is well combined, about 2 minutes. Scrape down the bowl as needed. Beat in the vanilla and salt.
• With the mixer on low speed, slowly add in the powdered sugar. Once incorporated, increase the speed to medium and beat until light and fluffy, about 1 minute. Spread over the top of the cooled cake.

Answers on Page 14
TAURUS
(Apr. 21-May 20)
Whatever you had to rethink when it comes to putting things in place since mid August will now allow you to be clear of mind to late September when it comes to something that might have been first discussed late July to mid August. You can now make decisions that please you. Don’t be tempted to spend too much though.
LEO (July 23-August 22)
Whatever financial decisions you may have first considered from late July to mid August can now be looked at more thoroughly, especially in relation to the best actions to take to be able to move forward. You need to be able to satisfy your own priorities, which may not necessarily fit in with the expectations of somebody else.
SCORPIO (Oct.23-Nov21)
You could come to the realisation, from now to late September, that it is better to scale down ideas you might have had late July to mid August to be able to take these things into the future successfully. Others might have bigger ambitions but you can be happier with small steps, allowing you to have a feeling of better control.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20)
Someone else can be very straightforward as to what they either like or expect from you. Be careful you don’t read into this more than is being offered, particularly if there is an expectation for you to take on responsibilities or to put things in place. Make decisions up to late September that will keep you in control of your finances.
VIRGO
(August 23-Sept.22)
Mercury, the planet of thought and communication and your ruling planet will move back into your sign for the second time until the 26th September. This will allow you tocometofinaldecisionsabout something you may have attempted or considered from late July to mid August. You will be energised to take action and move forward.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.18)
Something you thought had become evident since mid August where someone else’s decision making is concerned could again become more unknown to late September. It could be that they need to withdraw to make final decisions. These could involve taking your priorities into account as well as generating some sort of pleasure in life.
SAGITTARIUS
(Nov.22-Dec.21)
Having absolute confidence about how you stand on any matter will engender respect from others, even though they may not fully agree with you. This could result in clarity when it comes to commitment and support, which may have been an issue from late July to mid August and was left hanging. Be mindful of the obligations you take on.
PISCES
(Feb. 19-March 20)
Something that wasn’t made perfectly clear or finalised by somebody else between late July and mid August can now return to late September where final decisions need to be made by them. It can be up to you to ensure they do not avoid responsibilities that could leave you with too much to get properly organised or put into place.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
You are in an excellent position to be able to make decisions to late September that will take your life forward. You can feel as though you have greater personal choice or some control at last. There might be a second stage to this from January to Aprilnextyearandforthisreason it could be wise to ensure there is some flexibility.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct.22)
You are in a good position to come to realisations regarding any situations where you might feel as though you are taking on more than is reasonable on a regular basis. This is more about making decisions to bring matters to an end where commitments attached will have an inhibiting effect on possible future accomplishments.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.19)
You are in a position to late September to contemplate future plans and possibilities that you may have wanted from late July to mid August but could not finalise. You have the opportunity to engage with others and get a response. This could also have a lot to do with leaving the past behind up to 20th November so you can move on with a new life direction.
ARIES
(March 21-April 20)
You are in a good position to make some final decisions on something you may have first considered late July to mid August. The position of somebody else may be clearer now, particularly if they decide to bring something to an end. If this does happen it can make it easier in some way when it comes to normal routines in life.
In this photo from 1925, the Baron Byng was the first high school used until the construction of Duchess Park School. It was then used for shop classes. In the mid-1960s I recall taking Drafting, Electricity, Woodshop and Metal Work classes in this building. I believe this historic building ended as a practice fire for the PG Fire Dept.
Charges approved in 2023 drug investigation

Prince George
2024-09-09 08:55 PDT File # 2023-19794
Throughout the summer and fall of 2023, Prince George RCMP’s Street Crew Unit conducted targeted enforcement on drug traffickers working within Prince George, executing multiple Controlled Drugs and Substances Act search warrants at residences in Prince George as well as in Langley.
This investigation clearly demonstrated that the local drug traffickers are being supported by drug lines out of the Lower Mainland with ties to the B.C. Gang Conflict. We are confident this will send a message to these organized crime groups that there are consequences to importing fentanyl and other hard drugs into Prince George, states Sergeant Dan Morris, commander of the Street Crew Unit.
The Public Prosecution Service of Canada has recently approved charges against the following people in relation to this investigation:
Christine Melodie Poitras:
Participation in a Criminal Organization
Conspiracy to commit an indictable offense
Trafficking in a controlled substance
Possession for the purpose of trafficking
Lucas Benjamin Thiessen:
Instructing to commit a criminal organization offence
Participation in a criminal organization
Conspiracy to commit an indictable offence
Trafficking a controlled substance
Possession for the purpose of trafficking
Maria Evangilia Nikolov:
Participation in a criminal organization
Conspiracy to commit an indictable offence
Trafficking in a controlled substance
Possession for the purpose of trafficking
These types of interjurisdictional investigations present a challenge for a municipal detachment that is separated by large distances from other police forces, as Prince George RCMP is. This showcases the excellent work done by our investigators and we are supportive of the charge assessment provided by the Public Prosecution Service of Canada, states Cpl. Jennifer Cooper, Media Relations Officer for the Prince George RCMP.
Lucas Benjamin Thiessen remains in custody in relation to this matter. Christine Melodie Poitras and Maria Evangilia Nikolov remain in their communities on release orders with conditions.
This file is now before the courts.
