Angie Mindus Cariboo Advisor Police are still searching for evidence to help explain why a Dodge pick up truck with five occupants lost control and rolled several times on Remembrance Day afternoon, killing one and seriously injuring two others. According to Sgt. Bob Verbree, Commander of Cariboo Chilcotin Traffic Services, one young man died as a result of injuries he sustained as a passenger in the truck which left the road and rolled several times on Dog Creek Road, just before the intersection of Highway 20 shortly after 3 p.m. A young woman remains in serious but stable condition as does the male driver of the truck. One other woman and man were treated at hospital and released. “We’re trying to find out all the answers we can for the families,” said Sgt. Verbree, who had yet to release any details surrounding the victims or the deceased at press time yesterday, except to say the occupants were all from the Williams Lake area. Verbree said another driver on the road at the time witnessed the accident and used his cell phone to immediately call for police, who arrived on scene within three minutes. Other witnesses who happened by also helped the victims until emergency crews arrived. Verbree said the cause of the accident is not known at this time, however speed may have been a factor. “Anyone who witnessed or assisted (at this incident) are asked to give us a call,” Verbree said, asking for the public’s help. “We don’t want to miss any evidence at all.”

School Board Trustees upset teachers, parents Angie Mindus Cariboo Advisor The first in a series of School District meetings scheduled to take place at schools proposed for closure have left a bad taste in the mouths of both parents and teachers. CCTA representative Joan Erb said at a special board meeting last Thursday that teachers at Glendale Elementary school were left ”dismissed, humiliated and embarrassed” following their closed meeting with School District 27 trustees Tuesday, Nov 6. Following the meeting with the teachers,
the trustees then met with parents of the school proposed for closure which resulted in a Parent Advisory Council representative lodging a formal complaint with the district. Glendale PAC representative Janna Erickson said the initial mood at the meeting was respectful but fell off the rails shortly after parents gave a presentation on the advantages of their balanced calendar program. “I was shocked,” Erickson said of the response of one of the trustees, who said she found the school’s pre-
Suspects await bail hearing Angie Mindus Cariboo Advisor Four men accused in a home invasion Halloween night remain in custody awaiting a bail hearing. Catlin Billy, 26, Blake Johnny, 22, and Kyle Plummer, 22, are charged with break and enter with intent, mischief to property over $5,000 and theft of a motor vehicle. Mitchell Jeff, 21, is charged with break and enter with intent, mischief to property over $5,000 and theft of a motor vehicle as well as breach of a probation order and an undertaking. The charges stem from an incident Halloween night where where several suspects entered a home on Barnard Street. According to police at the time, the residents barricaded themselves in a back room and called police while suspects brandishing machetes, bear spray and bats ransacked the home. Police arrived on scene while the incident was still in progress and chased down several suspects who tried to flee. Billy, Johnny, Plummer and Jeff are all scheduled for a bail hearing today Wednesday, Nov. 14 at 11 a.m. in Williams Lake Provincial Court.
sentation “offensive.” “She was calling us racist ... no one wanted to get up and ask any questions. She was very out-of-line, very professional,” Erickson said. Erickson said she felt parents with questions were being publicly reprimanded, to the point where some parents just left the meeting. When contacted by The Advisor, the trustee in question deferred questions to Board Chair Will Van
Osch, who speaks on behalf of the board. Unfortunately, Van Osch was unable to be reached for comment by press time. Erickson said she believes the meeting should have been better facilitated and is awaiting a formal response from the school district and board to her complaint. “The trustee should have been redirected ... it really left a foul taste in everyone’s mouth.”
Meanwhile, at the special board meeting, District Parent Advisory Council President Rhonda McCreight told the board she is stepping down from her position, voicing her own frustration with the board for not involving parents in their decision making. The next school meeting promises to be no less emotional with trustees scheduled to meet at Kwaleen Traditional Elementary school Nov. 20.

Williams Lake Indian Band moves forward with big plans Williams Lake Indian Band (“WLIB”) announced last week that it is nearing completion of the detailed design of the infrastructure required to service its Coyote Rock development lands along Highway 97. “This is a huge step for our community and for the Williams Lake area as a whole,” states WLIB Chief Ann Louie. “We’ve been working on this project for two years, and now we’re poised to begin construction of the infrastructure this year, with the intention that the bulk of the work will take place in 2013.” The infrastructure planning will result in the servicing of the WLIB lands along Highway 97, extending from the WLIB
community core on Mission Road to the boundary of the reserve at Lexington subdivision. Works will include new water and sewer lines, booster and lift stations and a water reservoir. “We’ve invested $5 million in our recently completed water treatment facility, and these new works would allow us to extend potable water and community sewer along the highway corridor,” adds Chief Louie. “We’re exploring the possibilities for providing potable water to Lexington subdivision and there might be a great opportunity to address the needs of that community through our project, as well.” In January of 2012, WLIB was announced as one of 18 First Nations from across
We’re Not Just Realtors Selling A Home…
the country that would be the next group entering the First Nations Lands Management initiative, which will give WLIB a form of selfgovernment over lands management, and drastically improve the efficiency of lands transactions. WLIB is currently finalizing a conceptual plan of the subdivision that would be created as part of the infrastructure project. “The plan isn’t finalized, but we’re fairly certain about the major elements of the design,” says Byron Louie, WLIB Economic Development Officer. “The subdivision will include a multiphase residential development with approximately 90 lots. Fronting Coyote Rock
Golf Course will be an approximately 15 acre highway commercial development, designed to accommodate approximately 60,000 square feet of business space. Things are coming together amazingly. Our ability to proceed with the project will depend on Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development’s continued partnership, but everything is coming together better than could be expected. We’re working with the Ministry of Transportation and Highways on the design for the fourlaning of Highway 97 through our reserve, and the proposed highways works will dramatically improve access to our development lands. We have some incredible partnerships that we’re
We are your Neighbours, Your Friends, We are Community Volunteers. Most of all, We are a Team YOUR TEAM!
working on and hope to soon make some major announcements about our plans on that front. We also anticipate there will be a clean energy component to this development and we’ll soon have some exciting news about that as well. This would be a huge project four our region. It would really open up the development potential for the Williams Lake area, and the $4 million infrastructure construction project alone should create 24 direct and as many as an additional 35 indirect and induced jobs during the term of the project. The long-term economic spinoffs from lease revenues, property taxes, construction opportunities and employment would be gigantic.”

Fish Lake demonstration
Angie Mindus Cariboo Advisor Groups and individuals opposed to the New Prosperity mine at Fish Lake are organizing a demonstration in the city next week against the project. According to Jenny Noble of the Fish Lake Alliance, the groups want to show their support for the Tsilhqot’in National Government, who has reserved a time to address City Council at its next meeting, Tuesday, Nov. 20 at 7 p.m. Noble said the TNG plan to air their reasons for opposing the Taseko Mines project. “The Council of Canadians, Fish Lake Alliance and other community groups and individuals plan to attend in support,” Noble stated in a press release. Noble said the group plan to gather informally before the council meeting at the TNG office, 253 4th Ave N at 5 p.m., then walk together to attend the meeting at City Hall. “All who support TNG’s stand are welcome to join us in this peaceful demonstration.” Taseko Mines filed an environmental-impact statement in September for its proposed $1.1 billion gold and copper mine outlining how it will preserve Fish Lake in its new plan. The TNG however still stand vehemently opposed to the project, except for former Alexis Creek Chief Ervin Charleyboy, who has voiced his support. Taseko has argued the region will benefit from jobs and economic activity during the expected 20-year mine life with it employing 700 people during a two-year construction period, and between 375 to 500 once it's in production. The next stage in the process is the public hearings before the Federal Review Panel, with a decision expected sometime next year.

Travel tips for families on a budget Sean Glanville Cariboo Advisor Despite the burden of travelling with young children it is still possible for a family to take a memorable holiday without breaking the bank. Having three daughters, I’ve realized that a vacation can cost a ton of money and often will add more stress instead of relieving it. Our family has done quite a lot of travelling over the years and we’ve learned some helpful tips. We’ve been able to afford some fantastic destinations like Phoenix, Palm Springs and Las Vegas that often cost around the same as a shopping weekend in Vancouver. For the Fall Break we decided to thaw out in sunny Palm Springs, California. Having a family of five, the initial cost of the flights is often what helps determine our holiday destination. As soon as your child turns two years old they are no longer a lap infant and pay full price. This travel tip is wellknown to all by now; flying out of Washington State airports instead of B.C. can save you a ton of cash. With a strong Canadian dollar, Bellingham Airport which is only a half hour drive from Vancouver has seen a boom in busi-
ness and is now undergoing a major renovation to keep up with the demand from its B.C. patrons. Another great option is SeaTac airport just two hours down the I-5 in Seattle. Being a major airport it is often the best bet for more specific or international destinations. Another great tip is to price out all nearby airports within a couple hours of your destination. For example, if you want to head to Southern California, the major gateway is LAX airport in Los Angeles. However, there are several other major airports all within a reasonable distance including Long Beach, Ontario, Burbank, Orange County, San Diego, and Palm Springs. With this kind of selection it’s easy to find the airport that offers the best combination of both cost and convenience. Alaska Air which is the most popular airline out of Washington caters to all these airports. There is a search option when you type in Los Angeles to search all nearby airports. Alaska also has a lowfare calendar option which shows the lowest price for every day of a particular month which can save you even more money if your dates are flexible. Usually flying
mid-week such as a Tuesday or Wednesday often has the best deals. After some searching, I found flights to John Wayne Airport in Orange County for only $99 each way. Our five month old daughter is still a freebie so our entire family of five flew round trip from Seattle to Orange Country for only $800 taxes included. We also love using a smaller airport if possible as it is much less stress than a major airport and runs much smoother with little ones. When you consider flying from Williams Lake to Vancouver or Victoria can often cost this much for a single round trip, it’s easy to see why Canadians take advantage of these offers from our neighbours to the South. Then there is the rental car which is a must for a family. Our go-to website is www. carrentals.com, and the best time to reserve a vehicle is within about 20-30 days of your trip. The best part about renting a vehicle is no credit card deposit is required so you are free to check out prices and cancel anytime you come across a better one. Remember to book early as the prices tend to soar the closer you get to your arrival date. We were able to score a
Mitsubishi Eclipse for an entire week for only $88 unlimited mileage. Plan ahead and you won’t get sucked in to paying for the added insurance. Rental car companies charge about $15 a day for insurance when you can add a year of rental car insurance to your ICBC package for around $50. Some credit card companies also offer this as a perk if you pay for the rental car with their preferred card. A major argument is often whether the long drive from Williams Lake to Washington State is really worth the trouble. The cost of fuel, wear on the vehicle, getting fleeced by hotels who charge outrageous park and fly rates all add to the argument. However, the biggest variable to consider is your time, and you need to spend a good chunk of two days driving to get to your destination which eats into your precious holiday time. I remember when our dollar fell to 62 cents US back in the late 1990’s. With these good times we’ve enjoyed hovering near or above par with the green-back, I recommend everyone take an occasional trip South and take advantage of our high Canadian dollar while it lasts.
TRAVEL TIPS: John Wayne Airport, named after the famous Western star, in Orange County, California, is one of several smaller airports that can be used as an alternative to major airports like Los Angeles' LAX as your gateway to Southern California.
Coming up for air… or not One could only a guess what the weather was above us. A coralencrusted chunk of lava provided our group of night divers a granite recliner at 38 feet below sea level. Ribbons of eels wove their way by, and pencil-fish brought their curiosity over to visit. As bubbles from our scuba air regulators fizzed our flashlight beams, coastal mantas weighing half a ton or more, with ‘wings’ measuring up to 14 feet swooped over us fluently. Our air supply seemed sufficient, for the moment. Big Bertha and Lefty pirouetted and
Living out Loud with Rita Corbett looped above us, humbling the disciplined human graces of ballroom dance and ballet. In a surreal moment, a large manta investigated our effervescence and bumped head-on into my facemask. Eyeto-eye, they take your breath away!
Everything was working perfectly. The 3200psi in my tank dwindled gradually toward 1500 then 1000. Regardless of the enjoyment, the time would come soon when I would need air. If I stayed down too long, I would create my own risk, my own prison, and my own death. That seemed a stupid choice to make, so at 800psi I headed for the surface. I wanted to experience the beauty of eels, trunkfish, barracuda, and Nemo yet another day. The most breathtaking manta encounter couldn’t change the fact that I needed air! And, if
nothing else, I wanted to see my own little urchins again. If I had stayed beneath the water, I would soon have looked like a “fish out of water” - gasping, dying. Completely out of my element – air. But if I surfaced, I could consider my options again and again. Underwater, watching the gauge is pretty easy. Back on land, our risks may remain secret for a while. But if we fill our skies with pollution, and our lungs with self-ignited smog, we may run out of chances. James Cartter once said, “The reason to
smoke, and the reason to quit, are exactly the same. Both are an attempt to stop the craving.” Forgoing cigarettes may cause plenty of cravings, but dare we say those who continue to smoke continue those cravings even longer? There is enough sadness in this world without witnessing persons gasping like divers on empty tanks. Divers can see it coming, but smokers never know when the pressure dial will hit bottom. And think of all the breathtaking experiences they would miss! Doctors may some-
day again recommend smoking - perhaps around the same time we return to eight-track tapes. But for now, smoking is as likely to get a ‘thumbs-up’ as I would be to send my own little groupers under the sea without air. It's time to come up for air - real, fresh
air, and keep the final peg on the dial in its proper place. It’s time for all those spectacular creatures that love you and the unique vertebrate in the mirror, too. Perhaps some lit-up dollars could be saved for a trip to manta heaven, or some other place that takes your breath away.

Some breathing room? Bob Simpson MLA Cariboo North Now that the longwinded and obscenely expensive American presidential election is over there are three things to watch that will directly impact BC’s economy in the near term. The first is how President Obama tackles the tricky issue of the Keystone XL pipeline. Recall he only tabled further debate on that pipeline until after this election. In his highly rhetorical victory speech last night the President indicated that freeing the United States from foreign oil would be one of his priorities, and Canadian-sourced oil is fundamental to America’s energy security. Expect the Keystone pipeline issue to be revisited very soon, which will have implications for both the proposed Enbridge and Kinder Morgan
pipelines here. Second is the Obama administration’s interest in natural gas exports, and Obama’s support for fracking. As Minister Bell states whenever he gets a chance, there is no second place in the race to get LNG to Asia. An accelerated U.S. natural gas push to Asia could easily push BC out of the running for “first place� in the global LNG race. The third is how President Obama handles the gridlock in Washington and the “fiscal cliff � that’s coming as automatic tax and spending cuts kick in. The United States is a bankrupt and deeply divided nation, but there are signs it is pulling out of the depression it fell into after the 2008 crash. That’s been great news for our lumber sector and, if the positive trend continues, it may buy us

up, then we must use the breathing room this will give us to develop a real transition strategy for our traditional forest sector and the communities and workers that depend on it. We desperately need a true
vision and strategy that does not depend on a panicked opening of forest reserve areas to logging or a rapid and ill-thought out conversion of our public forests to quasi-private, area-based tenures.
Candidates ready themselves for provincial election Coralee Oakes of Quesnel will give independent MLA Bob Simpson and the NDP candidate a good run for their money in the provincial election next may. Oakes just won the Liberal nomination for the riding of Cariboo North that runs down into Williams Lake and out to Horsefly and Likely. Coralee was born, raised and worked in Quesnel. She has been the executive director of the Quesnel Chamber of Commerce for a number of years. Coralee has an engaging personality and knows many of the business people and residents of her proposed riding. I suspect Simpson, who ran under the NDP umbrella in the
- Hillside Trailer Park - Juniper - Kwaleen School - Kendal Acres - Mandarino Place - Marshall’s Store - Midnight Dr. - Mountview
We should also have a very spirited contest in Cariboo Chilcotin. Donna Barnett will wear the Liberal flag again while Charlie Wyse for the New Democratic Party will again be her challenger. Donna won by a short margin in the last provincial election. There could also be a Green party candidate in this riding and maybe one independent. As usual the two main parties, Liberal & NDP will be doing some fundraising before the election in mid May next year. I certainly hope the Provincial election advertising on regular and social media will not be as acrimonious as the recent United
States election. I understand that 80 percent of all advertising was negative. .

Recently I read about the two security guards who dumped a one legged man out of his wheelchair onto the ground. This happened in Vancouver, home of the Robert Dziekanski debacle, where he was killed by four RCMP officers using taser guns. I guess there are idiots everywhere, including security people and the oncerevered RCMP. There are jerks in every community including those in Williams Lake who

The short answer is NO
GLASS ALLOWED.
PLEASE DO NOT put glass in the recycling cart. Glass in the recycling cart could end up broken. Broken glass spoils the recyclables and puts the workers who do the sorting at a great risk of injury. Instead of putting glass in the curb side recycling cart, it can be taken to the Central Cariboo Transfer Station or Canadian Tire. DO’S
✔ Have the garbage/recycling cart at the curb before 7am ✔ Take the garbage/recycling cart off the curb the same day as it is collected. ✔ Put shredded paper in a bag. Loose paper may escape when tipping the cart. ✔ Record the serial number on the side of your cart to indentify your cart from your neighbors. ✔ Ensure the lid of the cart is fully closed. Partially open lids will not be picked up. ✔ Clean all recyclables before putting them in the recycling container.
DON’TS
✘ Don’t put your carts on the street the night before your collection day. The cart’s subject to vandalism. ✘ Don’t put the garbage/ recycling carts any closer together than 1 meter. ✘ Don’t leave your cart on the curb. This interferes with snow removal or street cleaning. ✘ Don’t put your cart any closer than 2 meters from any obstruction such as vehicles or landscaping. ✘ Don’t take the carts when you move. The carts belong to that address, NOT TO YOU.
Avoid putting organic material, such as grass clippings, branches, or garden waste, in the solid waste cart. These items only add unnecessary weight to the solid waste stream and increase the costs for every resident in Williams Lake. This material can be brought to the Central Cariboo Transfer Station on Frizzi Road and dropped off free of charge.
Other recyclable material, such as glass, lead acid batteries, or propane bottles that cannot be put in the curb side recycling cart can be dropped off at the Central Cariboo Transfer Station. Even more recyclable items can be brought to several locations in Williams Lake that participate in the product stewardship program. A list of these companies can be found at the Encorp website (http:// www.encorp.ca/cfm/), the Encorp toll free number 1-800-330-9767, or by calling the BC Recycling Hotline at 1-800-667-4321. Any questions can be directed to City Hall at 250 392-2311.

CRD Library to host Doris Lee book launch Williams Lake – The Cariboo Regional District Library will be hosting the launch of local author Doris C. Lee’s first published work Ever Changing Sky – Doris Lee’s Journey from Schoolteacher to Cariboo Rancher on November 16 at 7 p.m. in the Williams Lake Branch Library. In this compelling memoir, Doris Lee leads readers through stunning mountain passes on horseback, comes eye to eye with grizzlies and cougars, and provides deep insight into the rearing and protecting of two young boys in the remote wilderness. She becomes captivated by the magic of evenings spent around the comfort of a campfire, and finds spiritual connection in the mysterious beauty of the aurora borealis. The brutal winters of the Cariboo and the
never-ending demands of raising livestock shape her soul and challenge her to become stronger than she ever imagined. Ms. Lee was a twenty-four-yearold schoolteacher from Northern California when she moved to the central Cariboo to become a rancher in 1950. New to the challenges of country life, Doris was a willing learner with her husband, John, and relied on several old-timers as mentors. At their ranch at Big Lake east of Williams Lake, Doris learned to ride horses, round up cattle, herd sheep, swing an axe and live without the amenities she grew up with in the city. She and John raised two sons, Michael and Gary. Doris now lives in Williams Lake, BC. For further information about this event, visit the CRDL website at cln.bc.ca or call 250-392-3630.

TOURISM: Job Series
Mountain biking on the rise According to the City, mountain bike tourism in Williams Lake and the Cariboo region is a major contributor to the economy. It is also one of the fastest growing tourism sectors in the Cariboo. Since 2010, the Cariboo Mountain Bike Consortium has been working in collaboration with the City of Williams Lake to develop and promote mountain bike tourism. Infrastructure such as the Boitanio bike park, kiosks around town and highway signage, was implemented early on and helped to set a structure for visiting riders. With a world class trail network and infrastructure in place to support it, the Consortium and City worked together to advertise the region using the ridethecariboo.ca website as an information portal. With matching funds from Northern Development
Initiative Trust and the Community Tourism Opportunities program of the Ministry of Jobs Tourism and Innovation, the City invested in an intensive Pinkbike.com advertising strategy. Pinkbike.com is the largest mountain bike website in the world and receives over 1.5 million visits per month. A series of ads that focus on regional events and the general Cariboo riding experience was initiated in April of 2012. With additional funding from Northern Development, a strategic billboard was placed on the Sea-to-Sky corridor to drive traffic to the website. These tactics, in combination with general visitor feedback and word of mouth marketing through events and other activities, have generated a substantial increase in website traffic. Compared to 2011, the 2012 ridethecariboo.ca site activity has increased by 207 per cent to over 7,800 visits at mid-point
in the 2012 season. The number of page views has risen to 34,145 with a constant 30-50 per cent new visitor trend. This indicates the ridethecariboo.ca web initiative is proving to be one of the most successful of the Consortium strategies to increase visitors to the area. A current economic assessment completed by the Consortium shows that since 2010 there has been an average 30% increase in trail system usage. The 2012 estimates for direct mountain bike visitor spending are estimated
at $294,538 annually. Total indirect mountain bike visitor spending impact is estimated at $427,081 annually. The 2012 data indicates a 21 per cent increase in mountain bike visitor spending since 2010. “This economic assessment shows that our partnership is working, increasing trail usage and the number of visitors to the community,” says Mayor Kerry Cook. “Mountain Bike tourism has the great potential to attract even more visitors and economic activity as we move forward.”

Woodshop inspires students to build for Medieval Market Angie Mindus Cariboo Advisor When eager shoppers attend the Medieval Market at Columneetza later this month, they’ll have the chance to purchase some wood furniture made right in the school’s very own state-of-the-art woodshop. “I want all the kids to do a project, but they don't all want to take it home,” explains Columneetza woodshop teacher Andrew Hutchinson, simply
called ‘Hutch’ by his students. “So what do you do with all those extra projects?” Well, if you’re Hutchinson, you come in on your own time in the evenings and weekends and finish all those incomplete projects and have the kids sell them at the market for shop supplies. “Having a little extra in the budget is always good,” said Hutchinson, who uses the money to purchase supplies such as wood. He has also been saving
to buy a computerized CNC woodcarving router worth $4,500. “This is one of the best woodshops in B.C. and I want to try to keep it up-to-date.” Hutchinson has been the woodshop teacher since the new facility was built -- the old high school woodshop burned down in 2005. And all of Hutchinson’s extra efforts are not lost on his students. “He’s a really nice person,” says Grade
9 student Jordan Murphy. “He has a lot of patience when he’s teaching and he makes sure everyone’s included.” Murphy said his teacher always has them doing “useful” projects, some of which will be featured at the sale such as wooden lawn chairs, tote boxes, serving trays and coat racks. Classmate Wyatt Buller agrees. “It’s a really good class - we get to make some cool stuff,” said
Buller, whose parents have been the lucky recipients of a wood toolbox and pen and paper holders made by their son at school. “And we learn a lot about the different tools.” Murphy and Buller both plan to continue
their woodshop classes throughout high school and say they look forward to more difficult concepts such as learning how to build trusses as they get older. “It’s the only handson class where there’s no paperwork. It’s the
highlight of our day, coming to woodwork,” said Murphy. People will have a chance to see the students’ handy work in person and contribute to their fundraising efforts Nov. 24 and Nov. 25. at the Medieval Market.

Mark Bremner presents a $3,500 cheque to Denise Skarra and Deb Radolla for the Williams Lake chapter of Kidsport, which enables children from low income families to participate in sports. The money was raised from the annual Ryan Schonke Memorial baseball Tournament, held every summer in Likely. To date the memorial tournament has raised $19,500 for Kidsport.
Crowd cheers Stamps to victory Sean Glanville Cariboo Advisor The Williams Lake Stampeders had seven different goal scorers using a well balanced attack to defeat the Quesnel Kangaroos 7-4 on home ice in Central Interior Hockey League action Saturday night. The Stamps also had the support of a great crowd as nearly 600 fans filled the Cariboo Memorial Complex. Despite being without the services of their top scorer Tyrel Lucas, the Stampeders came out flying in the first period scoring five unanswered goals. Nathan Zurak scored to start things off scoring at 4:06. 53 seconds later Stu Sasges tallied to make it 2-0 Williams Lake. At 11:42 it was Matt Lees finding the net on the power-play to make it 3-0 followed by a Tyler Fuller marker at 13:27 to push the lead to 4-0. Jassi Sangha rounded out the first period scoring at 18:55 to
put Williams Lake ahead 5-0 at the intermission. In the second period Joel Boyetchoko got the ‘Roos on the board to make it 5-1. Andrew Fisher answered for Williams Lake to make it 6-1. The Stampeders once comfortable lead was dwindled down to just two as three consecutive Quesnel goals from Curtis Gassoff, Justin Fulton, and Nick Tomassetti closed out the second period to make the score 6-4. Fulton scored his CIHL leading seventh goal and 16th point. In the third period there was no scoring until Dave Gore iced the game with an empty net goal with 45 seconds to play to cap off a 7-4 win. With the victory the Stamps’ move to within one point of the Lac La Hache Tomahawks for top spot in the East Division with a 5-2-0 win-loss-overtime loss record and 10 points. Lac La Hache sports a 5-1-1 record and
11 points while Quesnel falls to 2-4-1 and five points. First place and local bragging rights will be on the line Friday when the Stampeders host the Tomahawks Friday night. The puck drop is at 7:30 p.m. Justin Foote picked up the victory in goal making with 35 saves on 39 shots as Quesnel out-shot Williams Lake 39-28. Williams Lake also picked up 44 penalty minutes compared to 28 for Quesnel. Seven Stamps’ players registered multi-point games including Tyler Fuller (1G, 2A), Jassi Sangha (1G, 2A), Stu Sasges (1G, 2A), Dave Gore (1G, 2A) Andrew Fisher (1G,1A), Nathan Zurak (1G, 1A), and Dylan Richardson (2A). Nathan Zurak and Lucas sit tied for eighth in CIHL scoring with 11 points, and Lees is tied for 14th with 10 points, and Stu Sasges sits 17th with nine points.

IN THEATRES THE TWILIGHT SAGA: BREAKING DAWN PART 2 Bella (Kristen Stewart) has given birth to a baby girl she names Renesmee, after her mother Renée, and Edward’s (Robert Pattinson) adopted mother, Esme. Jacob (Taylor Lautner) bonds with the child and helps the new parents keep the girl safe from his former wolf pack. When the Volturi hear about the child, they assume the Cullens have broken vampire laws and have created a newborn by turning a human child into a vampire child. Alice has a vision showing her that the Volturi are coming to kill them all, and no explanation will be good enough for them. The Cullens summon their vampire friends from around the world to get to know Renesmee so they can prove she’s a human/vampire hybrid. When Alice and Jasper disappear, the Cullens fear the worst and try to prepare themselves for an all-out war. THE MAN WITH THE IRON FISTS In 19th-century China in Jungle Village, the town’s blacksmith (RZA) is forced by radical tribal factions to create tools of destruction. When the war between the clans boils over, the stranger channels an ancient energy to transform himself into a human weapon. As he fights alongside iconic heroes and against heartless villains, he must unite his adopted people and harness this power to become their savior by destroying the clan traitor who wants to destroy them all.

Bonnie Raitt, Singer (63) Taurus, do not worry about being productive all of the time. You need to recharge to be in top form when you are called into action. Tuesday could be busy.
Gemini, expect some additional energy that enables you to sail through tasks at work in record speed. The sky is the limit when you have so much energy.
I do buy some roast and like serving that cut of meat for when I have company, especially when they come from non-cattle producing areas. It’s good to let them taste some real Cariboo beef. I also buy pure ground beef to

make into hamburger patties. I always like to eat a couple after they are freshly made and then the rest are frozen, ready to pull out and eat at a last minute’s notice. Here’s a recipe for steaks that should only take 10 to 20 minutes to cook, depending on how you like your steak done. Pepper Steaks 4 beef steaks, medium size 4 tbsp crushed black pepper 1 tbsp olive oil & 2 tbsp butter 4 tbsp brandy 1 tbsp mustard 5 tbsp cream
Leo, it’s smart if you hold your tongue for a few days until a situation at home has a chance to blow over. Otherwise you can run the risk of escalating things unnecessarily. Virgo, if there’s something that you have wanted to try, such as a hobby or sport, now is the time to do so. You have the confidence needed to try different things.
Steaks fit the bill for this ranching community Living in the Cariboo Chilcotin we have a number of ranches scattered across our region. Beef is big business here. I know most of the ranchers work long hours and the profits have apparently been only fair, over the years. We also consume a fair amount of the local beef here in the Cariboo Chilcotin and I participate in that process as much as I can. I must admit though I am being rather selective in the types of beef cuts I buy these days. My purchases are usually for steaks and they are either rib eye or sirloin.
NOVEMBER 9 Lou Ferrigno, Actor (61)
What you need most of all this week is to escape the confines of the four walls and simply spend plenty of time outdoors, Libra. Your mind will be cleansed. Scorpio, adventure brings excitement and you are ready for some creative flow of energy and a change of pace. Keep your eyes peeled for all of the opportunities coming your way. Sagittarius, this week you will take steps toward getting more organized at work and at home. Clean out drawers and closets and remove any clutter that has accumulated.
Rub the black pepper into the meat. In a frying pan, melt the butter, add oil and cook the meat to taste, 6-8 minutes for a rare steak, longer for medium and well-done. Sprinkle with brandy and flambé. Take the pan off the stove, add the cream to the pan. Add mustard and stir until
you have a creamy sauce. Pour it over the hot steak just before serving. Serve and enjoy! I hope you can support the beef industry, particularly here in the Cariboo Chilcotin, where we have some very good ranchers, and ranch lands. Bye for now and Goood Cooking
You may face a decision that gives you pause from an ethical or humanitarian standpoint, Capricorn. Give it some thought before deciding what to do. Aquarius, this week you may want to make a second attempt at something that didn’t quite work out the first time. You may be surprised by the results this time around. Pisces, your innovative approach could certainly work in your favor this week. Don’t be afraid to apply this approach to your finances.
