Workers from Farr Installations get ready to take the legs and one arm of Mr. PG from its location at the corner of highways 16 and 97 on Thursday morning. The longtime city symbol will get some rest and restoration work, then return at the same corner, but on the other side of Highway 16, next to the Prince George Playhouse.

Outgoing city manager gets pay hike

Politicians say they have to keep up with salaries in other communities DeLynda Pilon newsroom@pgfreepress.com

The process to find a new city manager is underway and will likely take about six months, according to Prince George Mayor Shari Green. A firm is managing the process, Green said, to fill what she described as a critical leadership role within the city. A handout documenting the results of a restricted council meeting on Aug. 20 reviewing the wages paid to the city

manager confirmed her statement that Prince George is on the low end of the pay scale when it comes to what other city managers are earning within the province. Green pointed out this may make the task of filling the position even more challenging. City manager Derek Bates announced last month that he will be leaving at the end of the year. According to the document released at Monday’s council meeting the 2011 sal-

ary for the position was $202,000. Other cities listed paid their managers anywhere from $13,000 to nearly $82,000 per year more than Prince George. A subsequent vote led to an increase in salary in 2012 to $212,000 with a $10,000 annual car allowance (comparable to what is offered by other cities) and a one-time retroactive vacation leave of 10 days on top of the 35 days of annual paid vacation leave already received. Green added the right person for the job will be aiding the city as it goes

14320 100 St., Grande Prairie

through many changes, incorporating recommendations resulting from the core review. The person will also need to be someone who can work well with council and integrate into the community. “The city manager is as much of a leader as the mayor,” she said. She added there will likely be internal as well as external applicants interested in the job. Where the candidate comes from, she added, doesn’t matter, however the person’s ability and expertise does.

Name released in RCMP shooting Derek John Matters, 40, was the man shot and killed by police in Prince George Monday evening. The BC Coroners Service confirmed the identity Wednesday afternoon. Matters had been involved in a stand-off after he became the subject of an investigation on Sunday. The RCMP called in the Emergency Response Team and established a perimeter. On Monday evening the situation escalated to the point where an RCMP officer fatally shot Matters. The Independent Investigations Office (IIO) confirms that investigators remain on the ground in Prince George in response to the incident. The matter was reported to the office, which now investigates all police-involved shootings involving injury or death. In a release issued Thursday morning, the office confirmed that the officer involved is a member of the RCMP Emergency Response Team. Independent Investigations Office personnel were deployed within hours of notification and were at the scene by midnight after the shooting. Nine IIO staff are in the area conducting investigative activities such as scene examination, interviews and the collection of evidence. It is expected they will remain in Prince George until later this week. During the course of the investigation, the IIO will continue to work collaboratively with the other involved jurisdictions, including the BC Coroners Service, who have the responsibility of confirming the identity of the deceased and providing any other information related to their investigation. The IIO confirms that the involved RCMP are respecting and co-operating with the terms laid out in the Memorandum of Understanding that was signed by the Chief Civilian Director and B.C.’s police services in July 2012. Once the IIO investigation is completed, the Chief Civilian Director will determine if he believes an offence may have taken place. If yes, he will refer the case to Crown counsel. If there is no report made to Crown counsel, the Chief Civilian Director will release a public report relating to the IIO investigation and his findings. The intent behind releasing this type of public report is that any reasonable member of the public reading the report would understand why the Chief Civilian Director did not make a report to Crown counsel.

NDP touches base with students DELYNDA PILON

newsroom@pgfreepress.com

New Democrat advanced education critic Michelle Mungall and skills training critic Gwen O’Mahony visited Prince George this week, stopping by CNC and UNBC, talking with students in an effort to find out what issues they feel are important. “We’re touring provincial campuses,” Mungall said. “We want to connect with students, welcome them back to all the studies, and connect with the issues that are important to them.” Paramount in most conversations, she added, are financial concerns. Mungall said the NDP, should it be elected in 2013, has committed to $100 million in financial need-based grants for advanced education, a fund she said was removed by government but which they intend to return, then pay for through a corporate capital gains tax. When the government removed the tax and the corresponding grant fund, in 2008, it was supposed to create more jobs, but that didn’t happen, according to Mungall. Now, going into an election year, the NDP have promised to bring both back to 2008 levels. She said the tax is still low in comparison to other areas, and will earn about $150 million per year. “So we will reinstate the revenue and source the revenue to the grant program,” she said. “Affordability is the key topic among students. Rather than students going into debt, grants recognize the contribution they are making

in the province.” She pointed out that currently a student coming out of a four year program is about $27,000 in debt. The debt load stops them from contributing to the economy since they cannot afford to buy a home or purchase major assets. And they are expected to take entry-level positions within firms, jobs that generally don’t pay well, making it difficult to repay their De Ly nd a PILON/ Fre e Pre s s loans.

Northern Development Initiative Trust has the same amount of money in the bank today as it did when it was first created. Thanks to the support of more than 40 municipalities, nine regional districts, one regional municipality and dozens of First Nations and businesses, Northern Development is well positioned to develop and deliver critical grant, loan and capacity building programs that support community and economic development for years to come, says Janine North, CEO. “Achieving the milestone of funding 1,000 projects that build a stronger north across communities throughout central and northern B.C. is an inspiring achievement for the communities we serve

A hotel condo complex planned for downtown earned a requested variance at Monday’s city council meeting. The complex will be 12 stories, host 151 rooms and offer 34 condo units. It will also have a restaurant, lounge and rental tenancies. The requested variance allows the developer to construct two rather than five loading spaces on the south elevation of the building, which will be situated at 1355 10th Ave., close to the Coast Inn, Civic Centre and current RCMP detachment. The proposed spaces will be sufficient, according to the recommendation on the variance given by city staff, based on the large size of the spaces, the shared internal access for all tenancies, and the convenient access and egress provided on-site. The presence of one of the project developers afforded Coun.Brian Skakun the opportunity to clarify how a proposed walkway between the hotel and nearby facilities would work. Dan Milburn, who spoke on behalf of the developer, said the walkway will be a pedestrian connection between the hotel, the civic centre and the library.

“This project was made possible through the Walmart-Evergreen Green Grants Program”

The July to December 2012 Utilities are now due. Payments received by Friday, September 28, 2012 will receive the discount.

Q PACIFIC WESTERN BREWERY

Prince George - News - Free Press

Friday, September 14, 2012

Orlik takes on brewmaster role many thirsty beer lovers as possible. His formal brewing education began at age 16 in his native Germany. After seven years of serious schooling and brewing, Henryk received his final master brewer degree from the world-recognized Doemens School of Brewers and Maltsters. He then threw himself into various roles and progressively senior positions to fully absorb and learn the art of fine brewing in the real world. With traditional German thoroughness and passion, his next pursuit was a Masters of Business Administration to round out his understanding of brewing great beer with equal business acumen. His next brewing adventure was a move across the Atlantic to the U.S., where he was among the leaders in the craft brewing movement, culminating in the management and ownership of a successful and popular Louisiana-based microbrewery. “Recently, I’ve been longing for a more German-style brewing opportunity and climate and Prince Georgebased Pacific Western Brewery fit the bill, and stein, perfectly,” said Orlik. “I’m thrilled to be here and join this passionate and professional brewery team.”

The new brewmaster at Pacific Western Brewery is Henryk Orlik, originally from Germany. Orlik’s deep understanding of both the art and business of great brewing and breweries has lead to a steadfast commitment to Reinheitsgebot or, more simply, to use only the best quality basics to brew great beer: water, barley, hops and yeast and occasionally natural spices to create unique styles and flavours. He also believes it’s vital to test every fresh batch of beer and adjust the recipes as needed to accommodate the slight variations inherent in different crops and ensure consistency in flavour and colour over time. Finally, he’s a team player: committed to mentoring, encourag-

ing and also learning from those around him. Orlik’s looking forward to getting to know his new community of Prince George and to getting out and travelling through beautiful B.C. to connect with the locals over a glass of Cariboo Genuine Draft or Pacific Pilsner (his two current favourite brews). Once he’s got his feet, and his whistle, wet on B.C.’s beer preferences, he plans to work a little bit of German brewing magic to create some special surprises for B.C.’s beer lovers. So stay tuned for new Pacific Western Brewery beers to delight your palate.

Congratulations! Raylen & Owen Back to school with their new lap tops!

“I began selling Student 1st chocolates 6 months ago. The youth program has helped me with better communication, being more confident with people in face to face scenarios. It has also helped me gain a grade point in school because of my new math skills. Since starting I have enjoyed spending money as well as learning to manage money. It felt great buying gifts for my family last Christmas without asking help with cash. Having a new laptop is awesome and I believe it will enhance my learning in school. I am very grateful for the job skills I have aquired selling Student 1st chocolate and I feel that the experience gained here will help me in life. Thanks for the opportunity and I am very gratefull for the awesome new laptop. I think Gary has been a great role model for young people.”

Numbing numbers

N

umbers. It’s all a matter of how you look at them or, perhaps, twist them. Jobs Minister Pat Bell was stomping the beat last week, and rightly so, sounding off about the robust job numbers in B.C. and Prince George. According to the numbers, 51,800 people are employed in Prince George. According to Bell, B.C. is outpacing Alberta in terms of jobs growth and his ministry issued a press release entitled: “B.C. job growth first in Canada since August 2011.” And he attributes this to the Liberal Jobs Plan. Of course companies are hiring people because the Liberals announced a jobs plan … why else would they hire anyone? Back to the numbers. Former NDP MLA and constant thorn in the Liberals’ side, David Schreck, says Bell’s claims are a bunch of hooey (okay, our words, not his). He points out in order to make the claim that B.C. is leading the nation in job growth, Bell is playing a little fast and loose with the numbers. “The trick Bell used was to rank provincial job growth by absolute numbers rather than by percentage growth, hence with its larger population B.C. would almost always outrank the smaller provinces,” Schreck writes in the Tyee. “When percentage job growth is considered B.C.’s 2.3 per cent job growth between Aug. 2011 and Aug. 2012 is less than Saskatchewan’s 3.6 per cent or Newfoundland and Labrador ’s 3.1 per cent.” It’s a good point. Percentages are a better way to compare entities that are not of the same size. However, just as Bell perhaps played with the numbers, so does Schreck by the age-old sin of omission. He fails to mention that job growth in Ontario over the same period was 0.4 per cent and in Quebec it was 0.6 per cent. In Ontario, with a population three times that of B.C., 24,300 new jobs opened up, compared to the 51,700 during the same period in B.C. In Quebec, with a population twice that of B.C., 24,500 new jobs materialized. Was Bell using a bit of trickery by comparing absolute numbers rather than percentages? Yes, he probably picked the best numbers to tout in order to make things look better. However, either way you look at it, British Columbia’s jobs numbers are better than most of the rest of Canada. The bigger story here is, perhaps, the decentralization of Canada. What the jobs numbers really tell us is that the three western provinces are doing much better than central Canada in terms of jobs and so is Newfoundland. Alberta had a percentage growth of 2.1 per cent or 43,300 jobs over the past year while Saskatchewan’s 3.6 per cent increase resulted in 18,600 new jobs in that province. Newfoundland’s 3.1 per cent job growth resulted in 6,900 new jobs. Both areas are seeing the benefits, like it or not, of the oil and gas sector. (Dutch disease? Shudder at the thought.) As we mentioned above … numbers are all in the way you twist, er, … look at them.

Big praise for Little Britches

Editor: Can we use your well read editorial section to offer our warmest congratulations to all the volunteers of the Lakes Community Horse Club who hosted their tenth anniversary of the Little Britches Rodeo at Nukko Lake on August 18 and 19? There was a good turnout of appreciative fans for both days and no wonder. The year-long preparations were in evidence right from the first clear direction signs to the last hour of clean-up. Every aspect of the event was carefully prepared with lots of attention to details like plenty of available water and well-dampened arena dirt. The holding pens are strong and well-constructed as is the covered announcer’s booth. The grandstand is sturdy and well-built with a shade tent available for weather protection. A concession booth provided tasty food both days. There were enough portable toilets strategically placed to handle the large crowd. The beautifully illustrated complimentary programme was easy to read and readily available. When we asked how did they ever pull it all together the club members were unanimous in praising the sponsors rather than themselves. Westjet Airlines provided a popu-

lar raffle prize of a return trip for two to any Westjet destination in the world. Tim Hortons sponsored a high points saddle and belt buckles as well as banners, DWB Consulting Services sponsored a saddle as did Kodiak Electric and the Lakes Community Horse Club. Double Take Signs sponsored T-shirts. In all over three dozen sponsors are given credit in the programme for making a great weekend. The volunteers at the event stayed cheerful even though they were working in the sun. Dave handled the announcing with professional aplomb while encouraging every contestant through their events. Nathaniel and Tony kept the arena dirt in great shape for every rider. The comedy acts were provided by the Nukko Lake rodeo clowns, Nathaniel and Caleb. The club showed real thoughtfulness in prize selection because all the prizes were practical, plentiful and useful as well. The Lakes Community Horse Club volunteers and all their sponsors staged a rodeo that came off safely and was lots of fun – another great example of Central Interior hospitality. Thank you and congratulations to you all. Marilyn Hinton Sutherland, family and friends

A symposium at the beginning of October will be of interest to anyone involved with human resources in business. Stefanie Young, a member of the advisory council for the B.C. Human Resources Management Association (BCHRMA), says the symposium is not just for members. “It could be anyone from HR professionals to business leaders. Anyone who is responding to the changing work environment and how human resources are part of it can get something from this symposium.” The symposium will be held Oct. 1 and 2 at the Coast Inn of the North, and is an annual event. “This is the eighth annual Northern Symposium,” Young says, “and its theme is Learning, Leading, Legacy.” The BCHRMA holds an annual conference, usually in Vancouver, but Young says the October event is “more targeted to the North.” Among the topics which will be presented are recruiting and retention for a diverse workforce, workplace health and safety, and a look at current HR challenges from a legal perspective. “There are breaks scheduled during the day for people to do some networking,” Young says, “but there is also a networking dinner Saturday night. You don’t need to be at the symposium to take part in the dinner, and it’s a great time to network. “It will also be when we recognize our new CHRPs, which are the people who have recently been certified as HR professionals.” The deadline for early-bird registrations is this Friday, Sept. 14, and Young says two people from the same organization who register at the same time will receive a 10 per cent discount.

Shuttleworth returns to stage with TNW

TERESA MALLAM arts@pgfreepress.com

Like his new character, Daryl Shuttleworth is a family man. The Vancouver actor portrays Jack in Theatre North West’s upcoming play That Summer. Written by playwright David French, the memory play has Margaret Ryan returning to her Ontario cottage where she vacationed with her family 32 years earlier. For Margaret (who is narrator) and her sister Daisy, it was a time of beauty and discovery. The play is powerful and poignant. One in which both youth and adults can see snippets of themselves, says Shuttleworth. The actor returns to the stage in his TNW debut after a 12-year hiatus spending time caring for his three children, Erin, 19, Malcolm, 17, and Sarah Jane, 9. He kept his acting skills alive doing voiceover work in Vancouver and making television and film appearances. “I missed the theatre,” he said. “I took 12 years off from it to raise the kids. I was the freelancer in the family, so it made sense for me to spend time at home with them. Right now Erin, the oldest, is looking after the nine-year-old (Sarah Jane) while I’m up here doing this play.” Would we know his voice in a popular animation? The actor laughs. Maybe if we were a cow and the part called for a farmer.

Jack (Daryl Shuttleworth) with daughters Maggie (Lucy Hill) and Daisy (Karyn Mott) in rehearsals for Theatre North West’s play That Summer, by David French. The show runs Sept. 20 to Oct. 10. “I’m a good farmer,” he said. “I get lots of farmer parts – I have that deep, manly, low voice.” That same voice of authority is heard from Jack in That Summer when he talks with his daughters. It helps define him as the “man of the house” in keeping with the play’s setting. “By the 60’s, Jack has two daughters, 12 and 11,” says Shuttleworth. “His wife has died of cancer at 35 and he’s remarried, one year later, to a woman who looks like

his first wife – tragic flaw. He thinks by remarrying, he’s doing what’s best for his daughters, but things don’t go smoothly.” The key to Jack is love lost, says Shuttleworth, who notes “the play itself is about love, loss, hopes and dreams.” He may be playing TNW for the first time, but he’s shared the stage with one of its founding members. “I’ve never been to Prince George before but I do know (former TNW artistic director) Ted Price

very well. In 1989 we were in a play together for Alberta Theatre Projects and we had this rock and roll band on stage.” The rest of the story related by Shuttleworth is pretty funny, but we won’t embarrass Price with details of his “fall from grace.” Suffice to say, Price – professional that he is – never missed a beat in his performance. Shuttleworth laughs at the remembrance. “He just went right on like nothing had happened – and he kept right

in character.” While he likes the unexpected in theatre, the magic and tradition are also important. “I believe theatre is a special place where we share stories. This play by David French should touch everybody. “It’s almost spiritual (on stage) and there’s a connection that happens between the audience and the actors.” In the 30 years he’s been acting, Shuttleworth says he’s watched theatre evolve and change.

“It’s changing – it’s got to change to keep up with the times. Some people talk now, during performances, but the important thing is, audiences are still coming out and supporting us.” Shuttleworth likes the instant reaction of live theatre. “Every show is different. Every audience is different and takes from [the play] something different, they have different reactions to it. “The energy is amazing – even when there’s not a full house. One of the best shows we ever did was to a handful of people who had come out during a storm – they really wanted to be there so it was a great show.” Since Grade 3, Shuttleworth knew that he wanted to act. “We did shows in our classes and in Grade 5, I played Fagin in Oliver.” Not surprisingly, he has made acting his life, performing with theatre companies from coast to coast. Film and TV appearances include many movies of the week as well as Supernatural, Stargate SG-1 and recurring roles with The L-Word and North of 60 and in Rachel Wyatt’s Crackpot (Alberta Theatre Projects, Calgary). Theatre North West presents That Summer by David French from Sept. 20 (preview night) to Oct. 10 at Parkhill Centre, 36-556N Nechako Rd. Tickets are sold at Books and Company.

Special to Free Press

The Adventures of Tintin I went into the movie The Adventures of Tintin not knowing anything about its history. It made what I saw exciting and a great movie. I think all of you should watch. After doing some research when I got home, it made sense to me how the opening credits start with paper animation. The movie is based on a comic strip from 1929 written by Georges Remi. When the movie starts it then goes to life-like animation that was used by the actors really acting out the scene and then computers animating over them. As it progresses (goes on), Tintin buys a model ship called the Unicorn. And it is said that there was a hidden cargo (stuff) on the ship and that there was more than one ship. This is the basis for an amazing adventure full of everything you could want in a great movie. Also, be on the lookout for these crazy things: a diving tank, a flying ship, a flying car, a car chase with a bird, and the biggest sword fight you may ever see. I can’t wait to see the sequel. Oh, and for some good reading, check out the original comic series. I give this movie 4.5 smiley face people out of five. Warning: This movie is rated PG for some violence. Sam Lybbert is a member of the journalism club at Harwin Elementary and will be providing the Free Press with movie reviews.

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.

There is a chill in the air but Diane Fairservice has a warm smile on her face as she enters the Free Press building Wednesday morning for what she calls a “voyage of discovery.” In her arms, she carries a satchel of goodies. “I have no idea myself what’s in here because people just keep bringing me things,” she said, laughing. Indeed, a legion of community volunteers help to make the annual Mennonite Fall Fair a success. Fairservice pulls out knitted booties, beautiful quilt, whimsical sock monkey, babywear and an assortment of homemade items. The fair also offers fresh produce, Fair Trade coffee, plants, used books, crafts tables, quality used goods and a silent auction. One of the most sought after commodities at the fair – after borscht, Helmi’s perogies and farmers’ sausage from Manitoba – is homebaked items, everything from cookies to breads to pies.

Darrien Chow takes inspiration for her art as she finds it – and as it finds her. Sometimes it quite literally falls from the sky. “Inspiration comes in many forms for me, my background is German and Chinese. My mom, my family and friends motivate me to step out of my comfort zone and try new things. “’I love nature and being outside. Music is a huge part of my art. It helps me escape and get into my painting. I have recently found inspiration in small things – such as feathers that I found lying in my studio.” Born in Vanderhoof and raised in Prince George, Chow is as hard-working as she is creative. Amazingly, she finds time to paint in the evenings after working fulltime days as a certified dental assistant and on Saturdays at Speedee Printers. Although she’s selftaught, with no formal training, Chow has a natural talent that has set her apart from other artists. “I really started getting into painting in 2008 but I have always loved art,” Chow told the Free Press. “At the age of four, I would sneak out and watch my mom paint into the middle of the night. I usually did abstract painting and drawing but in 2008 I really got into painting and being free.” By being free Chow includes the freedom to experiment. Although she loves working in acrylics, she recently delved into spray painting with her art. “My preferred medium is acrylic paint. I also enjoy incorporating spray paint, gel mediums and crackle paste, there are limitless options for paintings. I’m looking into art getaways right now. My plan for the future is to continue on this creative path and to further the development of my art.” Chow’s art work has been exhibited at a number of events this year including the Spring Spring Fling Bazaar, Multicultural Splash, Art Work at PGX booth and Summerfest.

The knowledge, insight and respect I gained through the MCPM certification helped me immeasurably in my role as IMIT Project Manager for Northern Health’s highly successful Fort St. John Hospital and Residential Care Project. In June, I attended a UNBC information session led by Dr. Dale Christenson. I’ve known of his work for a number of years. Among many things, he developed the B.C. Government’s Project Management Centre of Excellence, and has now created his own organization. UNBC’s program improves this certification in some highly innovative ways – including an exciting real-world project that offers profit sharing opportunities for the students. Great to see this certification now being directly provided by UNBC, for those of us here in the north! It is definitely worth looking into…

The Cariboo Cougars have announced their 20-player roster for the 2012-13 season. The list was released on Tuesday. The majority of the lineup, 15 of the team members, is from Prince George. A different looking Cariboo squad, only six m e m bers of b last season’s team are back: f o r Trevor Sprague - Cougars coach w a r d s Michael B e l l , Ryan Forbes, Tyler Povelofskie and Logan Styler, defenceman Kenny Nordstrom and goalie Nathan Warren. Returning players also make up three of the five from outside of Prince George, with Bell from Kitimat, Povelofskie from Williams Lake and Nordstrom from Terrace. Lien Miller-Jeannotte of Fort St. John and Riley Pettitt of Whitehorse also cracked the final roster. The other 12 players on the team are: forwards Liam Blackburn, Braiden Epp, Kirk Hards, Donovan Law, Brad Morrison and Tre Potskin; defencemen Bryan Allbee, Scott Cullen, Nick Headrick, Stephen Penner and Zack Smith; and goalie Jeremy Matte. “It’s a different team, obviously a different year,” Cariboo head coach Trevor Sprague said. “Last year we were pretty good throughout our forward lines

and we had stronger D core. Then you move it back to our goaltending with the experience of David Readman, having him, so it was pretty calm throughout. I think last year’s team didn’t like being in first place. “We gave up a lot of points where we should’ve been in first place and stayed in first place, so we just weren’t comfortable in first place so this team here I think is going to be comfortable if they’re a first place team. I think they’re going to be a team that’s hard to knock off out of that first place position.” Of course, first they have to reach the top of the standings. Like the 2011-12 season, Sprague will have a lot of offensive options this year. He noted that his defence looks promising. “They all got great potential to be great D men, but some of them aren’t as confident as they should be, and I think that just comes down to them really believing in themselves and knowing that they are good D men and that they’re going to have their ups and have their downs.” Warren returns after spending quality time forming the goaltending duo with Readman last season. As the clear-cut Number 1 netminder, more is expected of Warren this season. “He’s a guy who’s looking to get listed by a Western Hockey League team so it’s more important for him when we break down to make saves,” Sprague said. “He can’t be letting things in soft and weak and not being ready to play.”

Prince George Cougars forward Colin Jacobs skates the puck through the neutral zone during their Western Hockey League pre-season game against the Edmonton Oil Kings on Friday evening at CN Centre. The Cougars won that game 3-1, but fell short by a 4-1 score in the second game of the doubleheader on Saturday. season home games will unfold at CN Centre, starting with the opening doubleheader against the Fraser Valley Thunderbirds on Sept. 22 and 23. Other home dates listed include a neutral site two-game set against the Thompson Blazers in McBride on Nov. 10 and 11, and a contest against the Vancouver Northwest Giants on Dec. 16 at the Coliseum. The rest of the Cougars’ home dates are scheduled for: Oct. 6 and 7 - Vancouver Northeast Chiefs; Oct. 20 and 21 - Kootenay Ice; Dec. 1 and 2 - Vancouver Canadians; Dec. 15 - Giants; Jan.

5 and 6 - Valley West Hawks; Jan. 26 and 27 - Kootenay Ice; Feb. 2 and 3 - Okanagan Rockets; Feb. 23 and 24 - South Island Royals. Sprague is pleased they’re able to hold the majority of their home games at CN Centre. This is a unique season for the team. In years past, the vast majority of their games have been held in Kin 1. But the 2015 Canada Winter Games’ Kin Centre Enhancement Project is keeping Kin 1 off limits for the 2012-13 hockey season. “Facility operators have done a great job in Prince George minor

hockey on being able to work hand in hand with the Cougars, as well as making sure that we’re able to play there in the afternoon,” Sprague said. The Major Midget League will hold a pair of showcase weekends, both at the Langley Events Centre. In the first event on Oct. 13 and 14, the Cougars will play the Giants. On the second showcase on Jan. 19 and 20, the Cariboo squad will meet the Canadians. The second weekend features the league’s all-star game on Jan. 18.

Spruce Kings head coach Dave Dupas, centre, and assistant Jason Garneau, left, run players through a practice session on Wednesday morning at the Coliseum. The Spruce Kings will be back at the Coliseum tonight for their home opener, 7 p.m. against the Trail Smoke Eaters. record of 54 wins, four losses, zero overtime defeats and two ties (544-0-2). Not only is the 54 wins in one season a BCHL best, but they won 42 games in a row, a Canadian Junior Hockey League record for consecutive victories. “I hope their bus breaks down,� Dupas jokingly said. “They’re real good again, and it’s a big challenge. It’s a huge challenge for us at the beginning to see where we stack up and what we may need to do to improve our team.� Although there may not appear to be any love lost between the Spruce Kings and southern interior teams, these games may have a different feel than past seasons. With realignment that saw the Spruce Kings and Chiefs move into the Mainland Division this year, Interior Conference squads are no longer divisional rivals. The Rivermen, Coquitlam Express and Surrey Eagles round out the five-team Mainland Division. The Smoke Eaters, Vees, Vipers, Centennials, West Kelowna Warriors and Salmon Arm SilverBacks are battling in the six-team Interior Conference. The league’s other five teams compete in the Island Division: the Capitals, Victoria Grizzlies, Nanaimo Clippers, Alberni Valley Bulldogs and Powell River Kings. In a battle of undefeated teams, the Vees play the Warriors in West Kelowna tonight before making the

trek north to Prince George. Four teams are undefeated, with Coquitlam also carrying a 2-0 record into this weekend. “I would imagine, if they can defend the way they are with all that firepower, they’re going to be a formidable opponent,� Dupas said of the Express. Tonight’s game starts a threegame homestand that ends with a visit from the Centennials on Sept. 22. On the injury front, the Spruce Kings were down three defenceman this week. David London has the most serious injury, a broken collarbone that’ll keep him out of the lineup between three and four months. Latrell Charleson is expected to miss another week of action with a bruised kidney. Mitch Eden, who was day-to-day with a knee injury, may be in the lineup tonight. Forward Tanner Fjellstrom is also on the injury list. Recovering from an ankle injury, he’s between one and two weeks away from returning. Dupas hopes the home crowd boosts his players. “Obviously when there’s more atmosphere in the building, everybody gets excited. The players get excited, the game seems more exciting. Everybody wants to play harder for more people. It’s just much better that way for us.�

The Prince George Spruce Kings won both their B.C. Hockey League exhibition games against the Trail Smoke Eaters. They’re 2-0 in the regular season, while the Smoke Eaters are 0-2. So they should have no problem defeating the visitors in tonight’s home opener (7 p.m. at the Coliseum), right? Head coach Dave Dupas knows better than to take the opposition lightly. “They come, they play hard,� the Spruce Kings bench boss said following a practice Wednesday morning. “They’re struggling to score any goals here right now so hopefully that continues to stay in here Friday night.� The Spruce Kings may also consider themselves fortunate to start the campaign with two wins. The victories were collected at the BCHL Showcase Weekend in Chilliwack, where each of the league’s 16 teams played two games from Friday to Sunday. “We weren’t overly happy with the whole organization of our team. It was kind of scrambly,� Dupas said. “But I think it was the case for most of the teams. It wasn’t the best hockey because it was such a short (training) camp for everybody.� At the Showcase, the Spruce Kings defeated the Merritt Centennials 4-1 on Saturday before edging the Langley Rivermen 6-5 in overtime on Sunday. Trail also hit the ice against Merritt, a 4-1 defeat on Sunday. In their first game, the Smoke Eaters were hammered 8-1 by the Cowichan Valley Capitals. The Penticton Vees visit the Coliseum on Saturday evening. Like the Spruce Kings, the Vees won twice at the Showcase to jump out to a 2-0 start. They picked up a 2-1 win over the Chilliwack Chiefs on Friday before downing their Okanagan rivals, the Vernon Vipers, with a 3-2 overtime triumph on Saturday. The Vees, by the way, are the defending national junior A champions. They topped the 2011-12 regular season standings with a

Wolves host West This weekend, Canada West comes to Prince George for the first time. The first of the UNBC soccer teams to play at home, the Timberwolves’ female squad has a pair of home games. They’ll play a pair of B.C. teams, the Victoria Vikes on Saturday and Fraser Valley Cascades on Sunday. Game time is noon both days. The Timberwolves carry a 0-1-1 record into Saturday’s game. In their first game as a member of the Canada West Universities Athletic Association, they tied the Winnipeg Wesmen 0-0 on Saturday. They stayed in Winnipeg on Sunday, suffering a 11-0 blowout at the hands of the Manitoba Bisons in their second Canada West contest. The Bisons are one of three teams sitting atop the 13-team standings with six points. The Trinity Western Spartans and UBC Thunderbirds are also 2-0. Victoria carries a 1-0-1 mark into this weekend. Fraser Valley sports a 1-1 record. On the men’s side, UNBC will return to the road, seeking its first win after a pair of losses to the Vikes on the weekend. They play the Alberta Golden Bears in Edmonton on Saturday before travelling to Saskatoon to meet the Saskatchewan Huskies on Sunday. In Victoria, the Vikes defeated the Timberwolves 3-1 on Saturday and 8-0 on Sunday.

Cougars, Blazers wrap up pre-season

They’re a pair of teams which haven’t seen each other since the 2011-12 regular season ended in March. But given their history and Kamloops’ location as Prince George’s closest geographical Western Hockey League rival, it won’t take long for players to reacquaint themselves tonight in the southern interior. The Cougars and Blazers meet at the Interior Savings Centre in a game scheduled to begin at 7 p.m. It’ll be the final pre-season contest for both squads, with the regular season beginning in a week. Although it’s only pre-season, teams are closing in on opening day rosters and tonight’s match could give the Cougars an idea what they’ll be up against in the BC Division this season. The Blazers return the core group of players from last season when they topped the fiveteam division. Last in the division and conference in 2011-12, the Cougars will try and return to the playoffs this season. Although they’ve played four pre-season games, tonight marks the Cougars’ first look at a conference opponent. They have three wins and one loss this pre-season. The Blazers will try and finish the preseason undefeated, with four wins in as many games entering the clash with the Cougars. The Cougars open their regular season schedule on Sept. 22 in Everett, Wash.

YT has invited Prince George figure skater Justin Hampole to represent the province at the Sask Skate Invitational, Sept. 28 to 30 in Regina. Hampole is the only skater from this region to receive the

invitation and the only skater from B.C. and the Yukon to compete in his category. This will mark his debut in pre-novice and it represents an opportunity to test his programs before sectionals.

“Justin has moved up four levels in a year and a half. In the Juvenile Men’s event he was the youngest skater in the province and still achieved great results, I am sure he will have some challenges in Pre-Novice,” Ham-

pole’s coach Rory Allen stated in a press release. Hampole was also recently selected to be on the new BC/YT Prospect Team, a squad designed to foster growth in up-and-coming talent.

The Gladiators responded with a 13-5 victory on Sept. 5. In Game 3 on Sept. 7, the Gladiators outscored the Tigers 9-2.
