RCMP are reporting a fairly “uneventful” BB Days weekend, credit-ing, in no small part, event organizers.

“Advanced planning by event organizers and increased police pres-ence resulted in a very successful and relatively uneventful Billy Bark-er Days for Quesnel RCMP,” media relations stated.

Police resources from Quesnel as well as neigh-bouring detachments in-cluding 100 Mile House, Williams Lake and Prince George were on hand to ensure safety at various events through-out the weekend.

Increased police pres-ence included numer-ous police road blocks; foot and bike patrols of venues; police dog units and uniformed and plain clothes mobile patrols throughout the commu-nity.

Between noon on Thursday and midnight Sunday, RCMP inves-tigated a total of 289 police files – the bulk of which involved intoxi-cated persons.

Police arrested 96 peo-ple for being intoxicated in public and responded to several assaults, some property-related crimes and other general calls

for service. Seventy Li-quor Act tickets were is-sued for various offences under the Liquor Con-trol and Licensing Act.

RCMP Traffic Services issued; two, three-day immediate roadside prohibitions; six, 90-day immediate road-side prohibitions; five, 24-hour roadside suspensions; one crimi-nal code impaired; two, 12-hour suspensions; two driving prohibited charges; two excessive speed charges (over 40 km over speed limit); 10 vehicle impounds; nine drug seizures; 89 violation tickets and 72 warnings.

RCMP sends a spe-cial thank to the Billy Barker Days organizing committee, the Quesnel RCMP auxiliary con-stables and Citizens on Patrol.

“Quesnel celebrated the 40th Annual Billy Barker Days Festival in fine fashion. What an awesome week-end,” Elaine Kopetski, BBD Society president said.

“We had terrific weath-er, food, fun, music, and a park full of people – all the makings for a great party.

“Thank you Quesnel, for the 40th time, you hosted a fabulous free family festival. See you July 17 – 20, 2014.”

tender Call for Building Demolition

“Tangible evidence that a new Provincial building in Quesnel is finally in the offing can be taken from a tender call issued this week for demolition of the old building that has served this area since 1913. Bids for demolition of the old building must be in the hands of the Government Agent here by 2 P.M., August 16, and removal of the building must be completed by September 30. No announcement has yet been made regarding a start of construction on the new building but it is anticipated that work will get under way this fall. Plans have been drawn for a four-story structure, with an east wing containing facilities for Assize Court, County Court, and local Magistrate’s Court. Main floor of the new building will house all departments coming under the Government Agent. Offices such as that of the Dept. of Recreation and Conservation, and Agriculture will be located on the second floor, and the entire third floor will be taken up by the Welfare Branch.

Quesnel’s proposed Multi-Centre is less than $5.5 million from becoming a reality and fundraiser Carol Pit-kin is counting on the community, including individuals, families, businesses and corpora-tions to dig just a little deeper for the remain-ing funds.

When considering the amount still needed, it’s important to realize this is a facility that will serve residents from all over the North Cariboo providing recreational, educational, conference, entertainment, sports and community needs

in a way no other facil-ity can.

Every dollar raised brings the project one step closer to breaking ground.

To put the dollar fig-ure into perspective, re-search shows just what that kind of money could buy in the world of luxury collections.

Recently, Marilyn Monroe’s famous white dress from the movie Seven Year Itch sold for $4.6 million and a brand new Lambo-rghini Veneno is on the market for $3.9 million. Interested in a New York Central Park Condo? That will set you back $5.5 mil-lion. Frank Sinatra’s

3,200-square foot Man-hattan four-bedroom penthouse duplex sold to a Chinese tech ty-coon (who bought it for his daughter) for $5.49 million. Longing for a big diamond? The Nassak diamond, with 43.38 flawless carats, is valued at $5.5 million.

You could even buy an entire 413-acre is-land, off the coast of South Carolina for that price.

Just imagine the square-foot value to our community of a multi-use complex that would serve thousands of local residents every single day.

“The Multi-Centre is everyone’s asset,” Pit-

kin said.“The benefits would

serve generations to come. Lets build it for our future.”

If you haven’t yet pur-chased a seat in either the arena or the theatre, if you don’t have a pebble on the mural or haven’t had a discus-sion with your com-pany of the advantages of such a facility, Pitkin urges you to do it now.

There are a multitude of ways to assist in this endeavour and she would love to discuss the possibilities any-time.

Contact Carol at 250-991-2878 or Bernice Heinzelman, 250-747-1727.

There’s no sense in crying over spilled milk. Unless,

of course, it happens unknowingly in the trunk of my car, creating a curdled stench that brings tears to my eyes.

Okay, let me just start off by admitting this wasn’t my first curdled-milk-in-the-car experience. Also, I only have myself to blame. After all, it was me who transferred the pile of grocery bags into the house and put everything away. And it was also me who had been shopping, and was now unable to locate the milk I had just bought.

But rather than check my VW Beetle for a missed bag, like I’ve done before, I just assumed I forgot it at the store.

Days went by, possibly weeks, when I finally found the milk in question, as I was madly trying to locate the source of a disgusting mystery odour within my vehicle. Lodged in the far right corner of the trunk, hiding in plain sight, was a plastic bag that contained not just an empty milk

carton, but an empty ice cream box as well.

At first I thought the discovery was garbage and wondered what it was even doing in there. But the soggy disintegration of the containers, and the sticky, mucky mess that now covered a jacket, some jumper cables, a beach towel and some other items brought home the reality of the situation.

Having no sense of time, and just coming back from a few days away, I couldn’t figure out exactly how long the dairy products had been left in the trunk, cooking away in my car-oven. But at this point, all I cared about was getting their remains in the trash as quickly as possible before the leakage

spread any more than it already had.

Adding insult to injury, after I had finally managed to clean up the mess so the car was somewhat breathable once again, an intoxicated friend threw up a few times all over the passenger side when I was driving her home from a party. I will spare you the gruesome details of that particular mess and just jump to the part where I try out this amazing service called car detailing.

Several years ago I had a friend in the business who would offer to clean my garbage-can-on-wheels - also known as my Beetle - inside and out, all for $250. Not able to afford that, I’d opt to do it myself and accept my so-so results as being not great, but good enough.

However, with this funky spillage, coupled with my current crazy schedule, I decided to bite the bullet and get it cleaned professionally.

My old friend was no longer in the business, but I’d had a recent offer from

a new friend, so I took my stink-mobile to him at Auto Trim Line in Kelowna, BC. Four hours and $90 later I picked up my shiny, orange bug and immediately opened the door, anxious to see its innards.

Looking and smelling like a brand new car, I vowed to keep it that way as I hugged Buck LaRoche for his amazing work. I gave my kids a little lecture on doing the same and they nodded in agreement.

And then somehow, someone accidentally made a big mess a couple of days later when they ate a jelly donut in the front seat and got a bunch of the sugary white powder residue all over the gear shift and more.

Once again I only have myself to blame since I was the donut-eating dummy. Luckily a wet cloth cleaned that mess up quickly and I didn’t need to go see Buck. But realistically, it’s only a matter of time.

Letting a pro do the dirty work

On A Brighter NoteLori Welbourne

Who had a beer while watch-ing the rodeo this weekend? I had a refreshing beverage

in the beer gardens while taking in Roller Derby, as the arena was HOT.Who had a beer while taking in any

of the concerts in LeBourdais Park?Now there’s a dangerous question.

There were people out there with beer in their Granville’s cups or mixed drinks in their water bottles, I’m sure. Some of them got caught and some of them didn’t and it affected nobody.Does no one else see the strange

stretch of logic that says it’s ok to have a drink at Savalas’ or in the beer gar-den at the rodeo, but not in ‘public’?You can drink until you’re rowdy

at the barn dance, but sipping a beer while watching the races is verboten.Vancouver is starting to change

its opinion on the matter, though it hardly matters as it’s a provincial issue: they’re looking at allowing alcohol on the beach because people are al-ready drinking alcohol on the beach. Yes, there are people who are going to drink too much and get rowdy and police will have to deal with them, but that’s already happening. Many other countries, including

Japan and the U.K. allow consumption of alcohol in ‘public’. In Japan, drink-ing in public, sake under the blooming cherry trees, is a cultural institution.But here we view that licentiousness

as debased behaviour worthy of a visit from a gruff policemen. Because drink-ing alcohol is best done in secret, in dingy holes where the goal is to get drunk and then pour out into the com-munity. Or we could teach our kids that wine

is a drink and no matter where you drink it you have to maintain some control over yourself, like adults will have to do at the Airshow, where they’ll be able to get a beer and go sit with their families.Banning alcohol piecemeal and dub-

bing it a legal taboo is not a helpful way of regarding booze – it’s a con-fused statement to everyone in our cul-ture, including the children and leaves no place for a beer with your entertain-ment or wine with your picnic.

I would like to thank the citizens of Quesnel who all came out to look for the little four-pound dog, Dora the chihua-hua that could. She was out on her own for six days and six nights, scared, hungry and alone.

She is home now. We are very happy and I’m sure Dora is too.

A special thanks goes out to Scott Moore and his son Liam for their help and inspiration.

Finding Dora goes to show what a small town can do.

Thanks.Dora, Sandi and

BrianQuesnel

Dora happy to be home

Spa Rivier supports Multi-CentreDeanna McCulloch, centre right of Spa Rivier proudly hands over $1,000 to Multi-Centre fundraiser Carol Pitkin, centre left. The funds were won in Wella’s The Hairdressers at Heart program. Together with Shaw’s John MacKenzie, McCulloch produced a Multi-Centre video and they were successful in placing in the top 20 in North America. Spa Rivier received the third prize of $1,000. Spa Rivier, Adonis Salon and Outer Limits hair studio worked together to further the education of local stylists and would like to thank the community for their involvement in the video, voting and supporting the three salons.

Editor:Am I the only voter who

feels as though I’ve been deceived and misled by politicians?

The information issued by the city with regard to the Multi-Centre stated quite clearly “You don’t

get taxed until the money is actually borrowed and no money will be bor-rowed until ALL funding is in place” (their emphasis).

With regard to CRD tax-payers, it appears that we have been pre-taxed on the multi-centre and that they

intend to use this pre-tax money in order to achieve the $15 million that needs to be raised prior to being able to proceed to the next step. This despite the fact that CRD taxpayers voted against the Multi-Centre and the referendum only

passed (narrowly) because of city taxpayers.

Surely it is clear that if the project were whole-heartedly supported by the taxpayers, the funds would have been raised well within the required five years?

And to allow the project to proceed after, what I feel, is misleading voters in such a way simply brings the whole process into question and invites yet another court case.

Author, historian, impresario and performer, Rich-

ard Thomas Wright, came to the Cariboo 30 years ago to write a book on Barkerville. He completed his task and published four editions of the book and has sold 35,000 cop-ies. But he says the stories kept on coming and the mystique of Barkerville continued to grow as he and other historians dug up more information.

Now Wright has rewrit-ten the book and with Heritage House Publish-ing has published the � fth edition of Barkerville and the Cariboo Gold� elds this year. It includes new material on all the gold camps and creeks sur-rounding Barkerville.

“It’s a complete rewrite,” Wright told an enthusias-tic audience at his recent book launch in the Bear’s Paw Cafe in Wells.

“We keep digging up new information on the gold rush.”

He said one of the newer bits of information is how the characters of Barker-ville were actually part of a larger moving social circle of friends and as-sociates who worked the

gold rush diggings across North America and as far a� eld as Australia.

“Barkerville illustrates a speci� c time and place but there was a deeper gold rush society of moving so-cial entities,” Wright said.

“The same people keep showing up in gold rush to gold rush, from Geor-gia in 1828, to Califor-nia in 1848, Australia in 1852, the Cariboo in 1859, Omineca in 1871 and the silver strikes in the 1870s in Arizona and Nevada. We found the same people in all these rushes.”

Some of the gold seekers were very good at what they did and prospered because they had the knowledge and capital behind them. Many of the people who made a name for themselves in the Cari-boo were familiar faces in other places too. These included Billy Barker, Cariboo Cameron, Wel-lington Delaney Moses, Madam Fanny Bendixen and William Ross “Doc” Keithley.

“There were 70 people identi� ed as mining or working in California before moving to the Cariboo,” Wright said, ex-

plaining how he gleaned his new information from police and court records, census data, newspaper articles, biographies, memoirs and death re-cords.

“A census from Tomb-stone, Arizona had some of the same names as people in Barkerville.”

One Cariboo court record showed that James McMillan testi� ed in court that he knew Eliza Ord in California 15 years earlier by another name, Mrs. Christian.

Similarly, David William testi� ed that he knew Mary and Samuel Nathan in Australia in 1852.

Wright pointed out that at least 20 Barkervillians had been in the Austra-lian gold � elds and half a dozen men who found themselves in the Cariboo around the same time had been in the Royal Engi-neers together. Another half-dozen had been in the Crimean War and a few had been in India together.

A miner’s notoriety tended to follow him as well. Liverpool Jack was banned from California in 1854 by the Committee

of Vigilance and banished to New York, but he returned to the west and ended up in Barkerville, where he was widely known as an outlaw and a petty criminal.

Outlaw Boon Helm, who murdered three merchants near Quesnel Forks, and others in Idaho and Montana, was eventually hanged and buried in Virginia City, Montana.

One of the rumours that Wright’s new edition helps dispel is the number of miners who actually worked the gold� elds of Barkerville at the same time.

“There were maybe 6,000 people working the North Slope mines but certainly not 20,000 people that some histori-ans have reported.”

Wright bases his infor-mation on the number of mining licenses issued.

“The population de-creased by ten-fold in the winter.”

Other facts peg the average age of the miner at 33 years old, slightly higher than some earlier estimates and certainly not the army of 19-year-olds that some people

have carelessly tossed out there. In one census only 17 were under the age of 20 and 17 were over the age of 50. The average gold� eld death age was 56, mostly due to mining accidents. The average age of death in British Colum-bia outside the gold� eld at that time was 66 years old.

The miners had an inter-esting array of nicknames like Black Jack, Wildgoose Bill, Flapjack Johnny, Wake-up Jake, Cotton-vest Bill, Six-toed Pete and Bill “Two-man” Brown.

The three towns along the two-mile stretch of Williams Creek each had their own personality. Rich� eld had the court-house and was the city for lawyers, Barkerville was the rendezvous for sports-men and business enter-prise and Camerontown was the home of miners.

Wright, who man-ages the Theatre Royal in Barkerville with his partner Amy Newman, had a partisan audience at his Bear’s Paw launch.

A high percentage of those soaking up this new information were already fans of Barkerville. About a third of them were tour-

ists eager to learn more about the gold rush town, so it didn’t take much encouragement by the author to have them hanging on his every word.

Wright was obviously speaking to the converted.

You could sense the demon gold fever itself, lurking on the periphery as Wright continued to sow more seeds of curios-ity.

“The more we travel and do our research, the more we’re convinced there’s a Rosetta Stone somewhere that will ex-plain the whole gold rush era thing,” he stated.

“There are more photos to be found...journals to be discovered...maybe in Germany.”

Barkerville and the Cariboo Gold� elds can be found in bookstores wherever Heritage House books are sold and if you happen to catch the gold-� eld bug, don’t be shy to trundle up to Barkerville and meet Richard Thomas Wright in person.

The Theatre Royal show alone is well worth the journey.

We regret to announce the peaceful passing of Julie Neufeld on June 25, 2013 in the Quesnel G.R. Baker Memorial Hospital. She was surrounded by her loving family.

Julie was born in Vimy, Alberta to her parents Philip and Olga Zilinski and was the eldest of 5 children. On August 16th, 1952, Julie married Harold Pike in Edmonton, AB, where their son Randy and daughter Marlene were born. In 1959 they moved their young family to Prince George. Shortly after the birth of their son Brian, they moved to Quesnel. In 1965, Harold built a new home for their growing family just before the birth of their daughter Sharon. Sadly, Harold passed away at the young age of 41.

Julie later met and married Jake Neufeld who also had

four children. Together, Julie and Jake enjoyed 38 busy years of marriage, raising their large family. Julie was a loving mother and grandmother who enjoyed spending time with her family and friends. Both Jake and Julie enjoyed travelling and were able to take a few trips to Hawaii, Mexico and Las Vegas. For many years, Julie was a long standing member of the Ladies Legion Auxiliary and the Ladies Royal Purple, where she was Royal Honoured Lady in 1982. She also enjoyed many years of bowling, curling, golf and playing darts.

Julie was predeceased by her � rst husband Harold in 1971 and second husband Jake in 2010, as well as her parents Philip and Olga Zilinski, parents-in-law Bill and Elsie Pike, sister-in-laws Lillian, Peggy and Dorothy, brother-in-law Ray, step-children Jenny and Jim, and grandchild Michael.

Julie is survived by her children; son Randy Pike (Nita), daughter Marlene Brunt (Larry), son Brian Pike (Becky), daughter Sharon Pawluk (George), step-sons Gary Neufeld (Judy), and Dennis Neufeld (Launa), 18 grandchildren and 9 great grandchildren.

Julie also leaves behind three brothers, Edward (Anne), Ernie, Allen (Faye), and her sister Betty (all living in Alberta), along with numerous nieces, nephews and extended family.

A memorial service was held on July 2, 2013 at Clayton’s Funeral Chapel with Internment at the Quesnel & District Cemetery. A reception tea followed the service at the Billy Barker Hotel Banquet Room. Those wishing to honour Julie’s memory by way of donation may do so to the Quesnel & District Palliative Care Association.

We would like to thank all of our family and friends

for all the love and warmth you have shared with

us and special thanks to the sta� of Wildwood

Residential Care Home for the excellent care extended to mom over the past year.

We will miss our mom dearly.

Many people in the Cariboo know of Ross Douglas for his nine years as musical direc-tor, actor and song-writer at Theatre Royal in Barkerville. During that time, Ross also wrote some of the most poi-gnant, funny and honest songs about life in the community of Wells and the Cariboo in gen-eral. His songs may be set in the recent past or the present, but they still carry a timeless message.

To the rest of the world, Ross Douglas lives in Van-couver, has produced three independent CD’s, acted, wrote and sang in such hits as Billy Bishop Goes To War, Angry Housewives, Rocky Horror Show and more. He’s won international awards for his jazz, folk, and roots song-writing skills and has fans in 115 countries around the world.

The Bear’s Paw Cafe will host Ross Douglas for what has become his annual visit to Wells, on July 30, 7:30 p.m. at the Outdoor Stage. His live shows are a fabulous blend of a wide variety of musical genres. They are played on an equally varied collection of musical instruments, from

keyboard to mandolin. In addition, he interjects history, comedy and theatre in a show that guarantees to please crowds.

Ross is promising to play a wide selection of his Cariboo favourites, including the gold standard of song-writing...Wells, from his second album, Cariboo Eclectic. This song describes Wells in its hey-day in the 1930s. The lyric; I’d rather be a miner with a smell, than a dis-infected hobo beg-ging nickels in Quesnel, is just part of a tender and roman-tic ballad. Kokanee Canary Canoe, a Gold Award and

Grand Jury winner in the 25th Annual Mid-Atlantic Song Contest is another tune that is actually inspired by a fishing trip on Bowron Lakes.

Ross’s third album, The Art of You and I has received more airplay around the world and features even more songs about life and Ross’s own varied experience, includ-ing the folk/country feel-good hit Love.

“We’re thrilled to have Ross returning to our venue. It doesn’t really matter whether it’s a song with local flavour or any other tune, Ross’ craftsmanship and showman-ship bulge out from his per-formances and really make his performances special,” Dave Jorgenson, owner of the Bear’s Paw notes.

The Bear’s Paw Cafe, in Wells, hosts a variety of musical and theatrical events throughout the year.

The Ross Douglas show is just part of a one-week performance series that also features David Newberry and Jenny Ritter Aug. 1, and four days of music as one of the open stages for Artswells Music Festival starting on Aug. 2.

Cemetery of the automobile

JONAS GAGNONObserver Reporter

It came down to three cars winding their way through the vehicular graveyard the oval had become at the Bob Wilson Memorial Crash to Pass: then Tyler Beckman's #4 car went out with a bang, issuing from somewhere under the hood; then Justin Price couldn't get his #96 car to move, spinning his wheels (sans tire) on the asphalt; until finally Brodie Thibault, in his #43 Chevy truck, was the only one running, for half a lap and then he too broke down and completed the final lap pushed by one of the pit trucks.

And those were just the final laps of the Crash to Pass

Thursday night, leading up to the eerie silence in the tire-smoke mist at the end.

Rewind 15 minutes and the action was intense.

Three cars flipped this year, including Brian Heppner in his Canada themed pick-up truck, the WWII airplane themed car of Travis Giesbrecht and Pat Fahrer's Crystal Glass Ford Van. Both the truck and the van were flipped back on to their wheels by zealous groups from the pits. Both restarted, but the truck made a lot of noise and fury but signifying nothing as

it didn't translate into forward movement. The van both started and moved, but a ripped seat belt kept the vehicle from re-entering the fray. The car, however, stayed on it's roof for the rest of the race.

Thibault's win in the main event was a continuation of his streak, as he won both the B dash and the A heat.

Colin Trask in his Superman car, replete with billowing, red cape, was voted best appearing

by vote of voice by the mass of spectators on hand and also won the D dash, but was put out of commission later despite his 'car of steel' paint job.

Byron Hesselgrave won the A dash and went on to place fourth in the main event and dubbed one of the three 'crowd pleasers' with his antics in his green

#42 street stock. Fahrer, the flippee to Hesslegrave's flipper, was also dubbed a crowd pleaser in his Crystal Glass Van. Tyler Beckman and his more-creased-than-origami #4 car, which went out with a very literal bang as the engine threw a fit and possibly a connecting rod, was also dubbed a crowd pleaser.

Kyle Syvertsen took first in his E dash and the C heat. Jamie Mitchell took first in the C dash and Ryan Wilson took first in his B heat.

For the minis, Kaleb Paige took first in the A dash, but was unable to keep his car going long enough in the main event to make the top three. Sam Pratchet took the top honours in the mini main event.

Clockwise from top: The last few cars dodge car car-casses in the tire smoke fog during the dying laps of

the Crash to Pass; the #42 car spins #97; the crew collects the detritus of cars; Brodie Thibault (centre)

celebrates his victory as Terry Braman awards him the trophy; a team from the pits rights the Crystal

Glass van; Colin Trask stands on top of his best ap-pearing ‘car of steel’.

July 28 - August 3, 2013ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20Aries, a challenge arises that requires you to have the utmost confidence in your abilities. Some self-confidence and hard work are all you need to successfully tackle this challenge.

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21Taurus, you can choose from among many paths, but this week you will have to carefully think about which way to go. Otherwise you may end up having to backtrack and start over.

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21Gemini, unless you change your line of thinking, you may have trouble in the romance department this week. You don’t have to be a smooth operator, but just sweeten your sentiments.

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22Cancer, sometimes you like being the center of at-tention, and other times you are content to blend into the background. This week you will have to embrace the spotlight.

LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23Leo, after letting things slide for awhile, you will need to get a better handle on your finances this week. If you feel as though things have gotten out of control, then talk to a professional.

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22Issues at work may have you contemplating a career change, Virgo. But you may want to hold off on changes for a little while longer until things settle down.

LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23A quick visit with family can make you feel refreshed and renewed, Libra. There is nothing like spending time with the ones you love to improve your mood.

SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22Scorpio, catch up on some overdue health screen-ings. There has never been a better time to get these things done, and you don’t want to put your health on the back burner.

SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21Sagittarius, there is only so much persuading you can do before you must let others choose their own paths. A difficult conversation has you second-guessing something.

CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20Do something for yourself this week, Capricorn. It’s a good time to treat yourself before you must devote more of your time to others in the near future.

AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18Aquarius, something has been on your mind but you just can’t put your finger on it. Forget about it for awhile, and you just may come to a realization.

PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20Few things that escape your notice this week, Pisces. Always detail-oriented, you need to figure out how to use the information.

Gold Pain hits too hard at Gold Rush RumbleJONAS GAGNON

Observer Reporter

The Gold Pain girls brought a little too much pain to their � nal bout of the season at the second annual Gold Rush Rumble, which kept the penalty chairs warm and the home team � ghting to keep up with the Fort St. John KillBillies until the Gold Pain's 212-180 loss.

“When our jammers were serving penalties the other jammer can just go through and go through and you can lose a whole jam on that,” coach Reani Rink Rash said.

The � rst 15 minutes of the bout promised to be exciting as both teams battled for the lead and the scores stayed tight.

Then, about 15 minutes into the � rst half of the bout, Gold Pain ran into some serious penalty trouble, giving the Kill Billies a bevy of chances

to rack up the points in power jams due to a host of misdirection of play penalties.

Near the end of the � rst half, the Gold Pain were so deep in penalty trouble they had a single skater on the track, while the Kill Billies were working with a full line up, and they took advantage of the situation. Even the Gold Pain’s jammer was in the box, so they had their hands tied in any effort to score.

By the end of the � rst half, the Gold Pain were down 76-120. Despite the lopsided score they didn’t give up.

The Gold Pain came back out in the second half of the bout reenergized and ready to � ght back.

Slowly, the Gold Pain started to creep back through in the initial ten minutes of the half.

It was slow going, as the KillBillies weren’t letting the Gold Pain off the hook

and nearly, but not quite, matched Gold Pain point for point.

With ten minutes left, the game started to get tight once again, with less than a 20 point gap separating the teams.

With each trip around by the jammer netting the teams � ve points, the Gold Pain knew they were causing the KillBillies worries.

But as the clock ticked down, the Gold Pain girls got a little too pushy once again in their search for the win and once again the skaters got a little too familiar with the penalty area.

And, once again, the points started to climb for the KillBillies.

A single Gold Pain skater once again found herself on the track against a full lineup of KillBillies that wanted revenge for their loss to Gold Pain early that month and the KillBillies

points mounted.With � ve minutes left, the

Gold Pain calmed, down, but it was too late to come back.

It was Gold Pains’ last bout of the season and, despite the loss, their coach was happy with how it had played out.

“I’m really, really proud of my girls. They played really hard. We’ve had an excellent season. We have done exactly what we wanted on the track. We have created a really competitive team that people have to work really hard playing against,” Reani Rink Rash said.

Already the team is looking forward to next year, with a ‘Fresh Meat’ course starting in September running for 11 weeks and open to anyone who wants to join.

The regular season will start in January, bringing some colour to winter and continue through to July.

JONAS GAGNONObserver Reporter

Local racer Dave Olson lead all 100 of the laps at the ASA OK Tire Challenge 100 lap main event on Saturday, taking first on the La-Z-Boy recliner to relax after the adrenaline charged race.

Qualifying started at 5 p.m. and racing continued through to 9:30 p.m. under a beautiful blue sky. It was the kind of weather that should have birds chirping, but by the oval, the roar of small explosions contained by V8s ran roughshod over every other sound within a kilometre.

The sound chased the bright streaks of colours around the track in a whirlwind of noise and fury when the ASA cars took to the track.

Olson started on the pole position and never let up, trailing all 21 cars in the field, despite a host of yellow flags that kept the cars close together for most of the race.

It was second place finisher, Korbin Thomas of Williams Lake who was fastest around the oval, making the lap in a bit over 15 seconds.

The Street Stocks and Mini Stocks warmed the crowd up for the sound and the fury that was the 100-lap main event, with a little less noise and a little less speed, easing the spectators into the main event.

In the street stocks, Cam Graham beat the local racers to finish first in the main event.

Williams Lake's Tim Westwick took the checkered flag in the A dash, with John Chatwin ad Matt Byrd taking the B and C dash.

Byron Hesslegrave, of the QARA, took the A heat, with Chatwin winning again in the B heat leading up to the main event.

Graham took the fastest lap of the night for the street stocks.

In the Mini Stocks, Dustin Brown of QARA won the A heat on the way to winning the main event.

Brian Zipser had the fastest time of the night for the smaller cars.

Chris Closson of QARA won his C dash, then went on to win the B heat.

PGARA's Devin Barks was the lone winner from out of town, taking the checkered flag in the A dash.

Mike Garcia was the fastest in the B dash and Delena Sargent took the D dash.

The racers will take to the track again Aug. 17 to continue their quest for the lead in the points championship.

Down and DirtyOnce again North Cariboo Mud

Racers Association held their 21st annual Billy Barker Day Mud Races this past weekend. Racer's came from all over the province to this sanctioned event to put on a show that had mud flying and ears plugged.

New and old racers alike were impressed with the track conditions. It took a lot of preparation by volunteers and a lot of water to keep the track muddy during the scorching heat wave that drivers, pit crew and spectators endured.

Quesnel racer, Tyler Lefebvre was the youngest racer this weekend, racing in the A Class. Age 14, he raced ‘Rebel Child’, a modified Land Cruiser with a 460 gas engine that he and his dad and friend Bob built. His first race was a few weeks ago in Merritt. However, just before the Quesnel race, Ty ran into some distributor problems which put him out of racing on Saturday. He came back to race on Sunday only to bend a piston.

Despite mechanical issues, I asked Ty what he thought of our track conditions, “They were great” he said, adding, “I'm going to the next race in Valmont on the

August long weekend.” Lefebvre's sister Victoria also

took in some mud racing in the Powder Puff class taking first place for the women.

Previous racer and president of the NCMRA, Ken MacDonald also raced in the A class with his new mud bogger “Not Quite Rite” taking 4th place over all. Bob Diewold had a successful race taking a second place trophy. He raced ‘All Mucked Up’ a 79 Ford 3/4 ton with a big block Ford gas engine. When asked what his goals for mud racing are, Bob replied, “To beat Mud Springer from Chilliwack and to complete the mud racing circut.”

Street Class brought out 28 racers from Quesnel and Prince George all willing to get dirty. Members Clinton Crossman driving for Fountain Tire Racing took sixth overall, with Gerald Plischke racing ‘Butt Ugly’ following close behind finishing seventh.

It was a great weekend with great weather and fun had by all. NCMRA plans on putting on a fun race at the Quesnel track this fall. For any inquiries, call Ken at 250-992-5664.

Awesome Wonder

I looked out of my window in awesome wonder,At the Lords creation that caused me to ponder.The diamonds did sparkle on the meadow below,The frost on the snow, in the moonlight did glow.My thoughts � ew to to things that so come to mind,For my love of creation, my soul does entwine.

I’ve laid in the grass and watched the northern lights scamper.They sped across the sky with nothing to hamper.They hissed, and they zipped, and they did change their color,Pink, green and blue, they chased one another.

I’ve ridden horse back out under the stars.And listened to sounds that came from afar.Heard the call of a little spotted fawn,Little mewing sounds as it called to it’s Mom.

Oh horse back we’ve sat overlooking Dragon Lake.Mother bear with three cubs, made a picture to take.The Osprey was � shing, for � sh the right size.While the Eagle was waiting to take his prize.

I’ve watched sand hill cranes on the meadow did dance,Their feathers were ruf� ed, as they did prance.Canada geese that � y in their vs.,Makes a welcome site for all to see.

We’ve taken pack horses out on the plateaus,Watched herds of Caribou as far as it goes.We’ve crossed many rivers and hills we did climb,And listening to the wind as it sang through the pines.

I’ve watched mother deer, send her little ones to hide,In some thick tall grass, right where I did ride.They dropped in the grass and didn’t make a sound,As I rode on past, they were up with a bound.

A cow moose I watched, with a calf at her side,Hoping for safety in a place she could hide.From the Bear who silently followed behind,For she knew of him and all of his kind.

Heard the howl of the coyote, out under the sky.Off in the distance came to other reply.Or listen closely, for the grouse that will drum.Hoping to call a hen, to him she would come.

I stand at my window with these thoughts in my mind.This glorious world, what beauty to � nd.Of these pleasant memories, I will always hold near.Of the times spent with families and loved ones so dear.

June Harnden Anderson

The Rodeo

We left for the rodeo, of course we were late,The people were lined up to get through the gate.It wasn’t too long, we were stamped on the hand,

The next thing we knew, no seats in the stand.

Next year we’ll be getting ourselves into gear,But for now we’ll head to the garden for beer.

There’s a place to sit down, but nothing for shade,This wonderful idea is the choice that we made.

The stock is alive, the riders are best,The whole competition’s been put to the test.

The bull is performing, the rider has pride,It sure would be nice to score on this ride.

But try as he might, he’s dumped in the dirt,We really do hope he’s didn’t get hurt.

The whistle is blew, this ride had no time,The rider goes home, not winning a dime.

The clown is a riot, he’s doing his stuff,Adverting the bull who’s being real rough.

This day has been fun and well worth the wait,Of standing in line to get through the gate.

This stampede’s the best that we’ve ever seen,The stock is performing and sometimes is mean.

The bull riding section has been a real dream,The rides were exciting, they made us all scream.

Elaine Couldwell

For Our Children

Dear God I pray for you to watch over our children,please guide them and keep them absent from Satan’s den.

Help them not to be led astray,and when their dreams have ended, then show them the way.

Turn their heads away from evil things,and show them your grace and mercy and what it brings.

May they not curse you but praise you can give you their love,so someday they can rejoice in the Heaven above.

Please bless our children with wise hearts and wisdom,for they are our future and you hold the future for them.

PLAN NUMBER 2-3-730 CONTEMPORARY FAMILY HOME

This handsome two-storey home, with its steeply pitched roof-line, o� ers everything a contemporary family requires for today’s busy lifestyle. Entry is through a covered porch and into the ground-� oor foyer, which boasts a dramatic double-height ceiling. A coat closet is located near the stairs to the main � oor, and the laundry room is tucked behind the closet. Extra storage is located under the staircase.

To the left of the foyer is a den, ideally located for a home o� ce, since visitors and clients won’t have to traipse through the home to reach it. Upstairs, the great room occupies the front of the home. With a vaulted ceiling to add � air, this room also enjoys access to a large L-shaped sundeck. Open to the great room, the dining room features a distinctive dropped ceiling and an optional built-out bu� et. A covered deck area beyond French doors will make the perfect spot for year-round barbecuing. The kitchen is separated from the dining room by an eating bar, just the place for casual meals and snacks. The e� cient U-shaped counter con� guration will save steps for the cook, who will also appreciate the spacious pantry and easy access to a covered patio that overlooks the back garden, making outdoor meals a breeze.

A touch of luxury pervades the master suite, situated at the back of the house for privacy and featuring its own built-in entertainment unit. French doors that open on to a secluded patio, a vaulted ceiling and a spacious walk-in closet all add to the atmosphere. The large ensuite features a soaker tub with its own window, as well as a corner shower stall. The second and third bedrooms share a three-piece bathroom, and a linen closet is conveniently located nearby. The second bedroom’s built-in desk is sure to make studying less of a chore. On the exterior, shingles and wood siding lend an air of old-world charm, enhanced by the mullioned windows, painted trim and stone chimney. The front door boasts a side window, and a wooden pilaster with a stone base echoes the other stone accents.

All interior ceilings are nine feet high. The double garage is roomy enough to include a small workshop.

Measuring 39 feet wide and 55 feet, six inches deep, this home contains 1,453 square feet of living space.

Plans for design 2-3-730 are available for $579 (set of 5), $657 (set of 8) and $702 for a super set of 10. Also add $30.00 for Priority charges within B.C. or $55.00 outside of B.C. Please add 7% P.S.T., 13% H.S.T. Or 5% G.S.T (where applicable) to both the plan price and Priority charges.

Tip of the MonthMost new builds require electrical outlet boxes to be placed 12" off the � oor. Adding an extra 4" and placing them 16" inches high, however, can be a lot more convenient and will not affect the look of the room. It's also useful to think about where furniture will be located and place the outlets accordingly; for instance, directly behind side tables instead of behind the sofa, to avoid running unsightly cords along walls unnecessarily.
