Panagrot clips
ers wings
A pair of pugnacious players
on opposing teams has
each been assessed single
game suspensions for their
involvement in separate incidents
in the same Cariboo
Hockey League game.
CHL president John Panagrot
of Quesnel, in "supporting
the referee's decision",
last week announced he had
meted out the one-game penalties
to Gord Merritt of the
Prince George Mohawks for
"unsportsmanlike conduct"
and to Howie Parks of the
Quesnel Kangaroos for the
"unnecessary instigation of a
fight".
Panagrot said the two forwards
will have to sit out this
• Saturday's scheduled Civic
Arena encounter between the
two teams.
Merritt was involved in
fisticuffs with the Ttoos George
Nickerson nearly 15 minutes
into the final period,
which apparently was precipitated
by a highsticking infraction
for which the Prince
George player was also penalized.
An infuriated Merritt also
allegedly struck penalty timekeeper
Lprne Perry as he was
attempting to enter the box,
an action which it is understood
he evidently apologized
for to Perry later.
With just over a minute
remaining in the contest,
captured by the "Roos 6-1,
Parks took several strides
towards the "Hawks winger
Grant Williams, and appeared
to level the Prince George
player with a premeditated
punch.
Williams quickly covered
up on the ice and Parks was
accorded the lone penalty, a
five-minute major in the episode
which occurred along the
side boards closest to the'
bleachers.
Quesnel's Eric Sanderson
was tossed out of the game a
second before the buzzer
sounded in the middle period
with a match penalty for
wrenching the hair of his
combatant Wayne Lazar during
a short scrap between the
two players.
Panagrot stated Sanderson
wfll have to serve the minimum
three-game suspension
set out in B.C. Amateur
Hockey Association rules for
such a violation, but added he
will not be imposing any
further punishment.
The CHL president was
also displeased with the abusive
verbal dialogue that
took place between the teams
as they slowly departed for
their respective dressing
rooms at the conclusion of the
game.
Panagrot issued a blunt
warning to the clubs that he
will not •permit such indecorous
behaviour in the future.
Gymnasts
exercise
Budding gymnasts from
clubs in Fort St. John,
Dawson Creek, Prince George
and Quesnel will compete in
the Southside Gymnastics
club annual invitational meet
this coming weekend.
The two-day meet, scheduled
to begin with opening
ceremonies Saturday at 9:00
a.m. at Maple Drive Junior
Secondary school gymnasium,
will feature the midget and
argo classes during the opening
day and the tyro and
novice divisions on Sunday.
Judges from the Lower
Mainland will appraise the
young athletes in action and
award the marks in the
various events, as well as
conduct instructional clinics at
the conclusion of each day.
The public is welcome to
watch the competition free of
charge.
Locals win again
From page 15
a local letdown in the third
with tallies by Rigler and
Dean Kjemhus within 40
seconds to equalize the score.
The visitors' comback aroused
the home team, and
the Millionaires came to life
and gave the partisan crowd
which numbered about 150
something to cheer, with
goals by Melnyk andDumaine
at 9:01 and 11:53 to move in
front 7-5. Roy Heppner, using
enemy defencemen as a shield
backhanded the eighth goal in
at 16:38.
Quesnel coach Inglis, still a
little jittery from the third
period scare, did not think his
Millionaires were at their
best, but hastened to add that
it is difficult to criticize their
record.
"It wasn't ideal hockey, and
postional play was pretty well
unheard of the whole weekend.
They never seem to. put
60 minutes together, but I
can't really knock their success.
It's hard on the nerves,
though", Inglis remarked.
The Quesnel coach noted he
is employing Halvorson and
Heppner back on the blueline
from time to time to "give.us a
little depth" on defensive
experience.
"I mixed up the lines and
that does not help positional
play," he stated.
The Millionaires and Fort
St. John Golden Hawks are
tied for top in the league with
20 points, two in front of
Dawson creek Kodiaks.
But, Quesnel has two games
in hand to both the 'Hawks
and Kodiaks.
In other weekend games,
Fort St. John extended its
winning string to six games,
with 5-3 and 10-4 home-ice
triumphs against the Williams
Lake Mustangs.
On November 14 , the
Hawks downed visiting Dawson
Creek 7A.
Williams Lake had a winless
northern swing, losing
14-2 to the Kodiaks Friday
evening, after a long bus ride
to the Peace River.
The Mustangs had climbed
aboard their bus shortly after
midnight Friday following a
Thursday 10-4 hometown victory
over visiting 100 Mile
Blazers.
The Kodiaks registered
narrow 6-5 and 6-4 wins
against the Prince George
Spruce Kings last weekend.
The Kings have a two
win-four loss ledger in their
last six games.
Ted Cosens connected for
the winner for Dawson Creek
in overtime Saturday.
Grande Prairie, which will
have played Quesnel five
times in a row in 15 days after
this weekend, now is a .500
hockey club with seven wins
in 14 regular season fixtures.
The short-handed Millionaires
encountered perhaps
their stiff est competition of
the young season November
11 and 12 but managed to pull
a pair of victories out of the
fire in the Peace river country.
Before a Remembrance Day
crowd of about 1,000 fans in
Dawson Creek, the Millionaires
fired four second period
goals and hung on in the final
session for a 5 - 4 decision over
the Kodiaks in the first
meeting between the two
clubs this year.
The Quesnel scoring was
evenly shared among Lance
Johnston, Lyle Inglis, Doug
Festerling, Gary Gronskei,
and Don Loeppky.
There was a meager turnout...
estimated at slightly
over 200 people by Quesnel
manager Norm Kjemhus...for
the November 12 match-up in
Grande Prairie, as the Millionaires
collected two goals in
the opening two periods for a
4-3 triumph over the North
Stars.
Inglis, Kevin Lust, Bryan
Dumaine, and Roy Heppner
accounted for the Quesnel
scoring, while Grande Prairie's
outstanding centerman
Doug Rigler rapped home two
of the trio of Stars' goals.
Quesnel coach Wayne Inglis
abandoned his alternating goaltending
policy in those games
starting local minor hockey
product Shane Patchett on
both occasions.
The other half of the
Millionaires' netminding due.
Dean Haworth, watched from
the bench.
Kjemhus said minor injuries
were also a factor in the
Sunday contest.
Defenceman Dave Fraser
dressed for the game but did
not see any action due to a
shoulder bruise suffered the
previous night, while speedy
forward Doug Festerling was
hampered by a knee injury.

Hesseis captures curling cash
A veteran Quesnel skip led
her local ladies' rink to the
qualifications round before
the local quartet was eliminated
from the annual Molsons'
Tournament of Champions
cash curling bonspeil in Prince
George November 10 to 13.
"I really didn't think we'd
do that well", Marj Hesseis
said of her rink's performance
on the women's side of the
major invitational competition.
The Hesseis entry won five
of seven matches during preliminary
play in the 32-rink
contest and emerged one of
the eight survivors for the
prize monies in the championship
section the final d^y.
However, Hesseis was knocked
from the bonspeil by Lila
Johnson of Prince George, 8-4,
in the draw.
Johnson eventually lost 7-4
to Heather Haywood of Richmond,
the defending B.C.
ladies' champion, in the final.
Noreen Magee of Williams
Lake edged Marian Radcliffe
of Kelowna 5-3 to determine
the third and fourth place
finishers.
Johnson advanced to the
final by mowing down M. jee
11-2 in the semi-final, while
HESSELS
...happy skip
Haywood had her problems
disposing of Radcliffe 8-7 in an
extra end in the other.
The Hesseis foursome, which
included Shirley LaPlante
at third, Clara Bachman at
second, and Marjorie Watt
throwing lead shorts, pocketted
$400 for their efforts.
LaPlante and Bachman curled
with Hesseis last year.
Hesseis edged Bodnar of
Smithers 9-8 in the first match
for the Quesnel team, but lost
the second 8-5 to Haywood.
The Quesnel women came
Far East ball teams
may play in Quesnel
back to bomb the Whalley
entry from Mackenzie 8-1 in a
six-end 'B' event contest, and
followed that up with a 7-4
victory over Burton of Fort
Nelson.
June McKenzie of Kam-
' loops sent the Quesnelites to
the 'C with an 11-3 triumph.
"None of us curled well in
that game. They scored four
in the Erst end. We just all
had a bad game", Hesseis
recalled.
Hesseis then put together
back-to-back wins of 9-6 over
McMillan of Prince George
and 9-2 against Fox from
Fairview, Alberta, to qualify
as one of four from the 'C
side.
"They got two, we came
back with two, they got two
more", Hesseis described the
opening ends of the see-saw
sudden-death playoff against
Johnson.
"But, we had a bad end
in the ninth", she explained
the defeat.
It was the first time in the
history of the Prince George
event that a Quesnel entry
made the playoffs.
"Marjorie Watt curled
well", Hesseis said.
And when asked about her
execution as skip, she commented
that she "thinks she
curled pretty well."
Three other Quesnel rinks,
headed by Marg Patchett,
Madeleine Copeland, and Jean
Blacklaw also took part in the
'speil, but failed to qualify for
the finals.
Hesseis indicated the same
rink will try for the local
curling crown in the club
playdowns slated for December
9.
Blacklaw and Copeland are
challenging Hesseis for the
right to represent the community
in the Cariboo zone
playdowns in 100 Mile House
in January.
Next step in the women's
playoff trail is the district
tournament in Quesnel January
20 and 21.
A relatively unknown curler
Arnold McEwen topped
the field of 48 in the Molsons'
tournament for the men,
downing Stan Trout 10-6 in an
all-Edmonton final to take
home $8000 in cash.
Mike Mathews of Prince
George upset the celebrated
Bernie Sparkes from Vancouver
to win third spot.
The Alex Coffey rink of
Quesnel came up with two
wins before suffering three
straight defeats.
Coffey registered victories
against Mike Shelest of the
host city and Frank Bailey
from Calgary before losing to
the well-known Mel Watchorn
of Fairview in a game the
Quesnel skip feels his team
should have won.
"In the first two games, the
rink played well. But I missed
some big shots against Watchorn.
We could have beaten
Watchorn easily", Coffey claimed.
The local entry was subsequently
defeated by Jerry
Wilson of Edmonton and
Bryan Mooney of Prince George.
Zone girls volleyball
CitadeUes finish in fifth s
Although she hr.d hoped for
a higher finish, Quesnel Correlieu
coach Kathy Fowkes
was generally pleased with
her team's fifth place showing
in the North Central zone
senior girls volleyball finals
for double 'A' large schools, in
Prince George last weekend.
Fort St. John Ookpiks
knocked off Prince George
Polarettes 10-15, 15-3, 15-3 in
the championship match Saturday
to earn , the right to
represent the zone in the
provincial finals in New Westminister
November 30 to
December 2.
The Polarettes had topped
the field of six teams in the
round - robin preliminary
play. ";'
Defending zone champion
Dawson Creek South Peace
secondary came third overall.
While the Williams Lake
Columneetza Cougarettes, the
1976 area winners, were fourth.'
Prince George Duchess
Park condorettes were last in
the two-day tourney, behind
the Correlieu Citadelles.
The Quesnel girls were
victorious in one of their five;
matches, defeating Duchess
Park 15-7, 15-10, in straight
games of that set.
"The kids really played
well. It was really tough
compt tition," Fowkes commented
on her club.
And the Correlieu coach
noted it was the first time in
four seasons the Citadelles
had not been at. the bottom of
the zone tournament.
Dawson Creek downed Correlieu
15-7, 15-10, while Fort
St. John was a 15-7, 15-9
winner over the local squad.
The Polarettes got past the
Citadelles 15-9, 15-7 while the
Quesnel girls forced Williams
Lake to a full three games
before losing to the Columneetza
crew.
Basketball loop bogs down
The Quesnel men's basketball
league apparently has
fallen on hard times.
But, it seems only a lack of
organizational expertise has
prevented the local loop from
being put on a formal footing.
Indications are that there
are plenty of potential hoopsters
in Quesnel and area, but
some have lost interest, judging
by the dwindling turnout
in recent weeks for the
games Tuesday evenings at 8
pjn. at Correlieu senior secondary
school gymnasium.
One player told the Obser :
ver there was initial talk of
expanding from four to six
teams this year and also the
possibility of utilizing a second
school gym.
However, he said he was
seriously thinking of throwing
in the towel and trying
another type of winter recreation
because it seems "poorly-organized."
There have been reports of
no referees nor scorekeepers
for recent games, and another
participant said just six or
seven players have been
showing up for the teams.
Q U E S N E L H I R E S E R V I C E L T D .
That's why this is
the best winter
tire you can buy!
It is understood that one of
the league's key organizers
last year has been forced to
withdraw.
Men's basketball functions
under the wing of the Quesnel
school district continuing education
program.
So, unless persons willing
to help in an organizational
capacity come forward, and
further players do attend, it
would appear the Quesnel
men's basketball circuit will
be merely a pair of empty
hoops and barren backboards
for 1978.

Why does the Ice Radial

Let's abolish the NHL and create the North American
- Hockey League.
• We'll divide it into two main divisions — Canada and the
U.S., with the countries themselves, being sub-divided into
Western and Eastern divisions.
The Canadian division could be'made up of teams from
Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, Winnipeg, Regina. The
eastern group would have teams from Toronto, Montreal,
Quebec City, Hamilton and maybe Ottawa. The states would do
the same with an equal number of teams from each Division of
their country.
The schedule would be interlocking with the Canadian West

'while American and Eastern Canadian clubs would visit the
Canadian West, etc.
- This would give good exposure throughout the season, so
• that all fans in both countries would get to see all of the teams
•at least twice a year.
Buy why bother changing the present format? Because the
• NHL, despite a goodly supply of talent and a supreme selling
'•'job on the part of Hockey Night In Canada, is suffering from
*-over-exposure and a strong sense of identification. Only when

.'there a real opportunity to identify with the team and the
'•players, and only then is there a sense of national pride.

Private companies insure
mortgages for a fee of about
one percent of the mortgage
amount. .This means the borrower's
down payment is 10
percent. And it must be from
your own resources-not borrowed
money.
Your mortgage may also be
insured by a government
agency, Central Mortgage arid

Housing Act.
They will insure only within
town of Quesnel boundaries.
The CHMC fee amounts to
7/8 of one percent, or one

the house is an existing
structure or a new one.
CMHp sets dollar limits on
the amounts it will insure.
Limits vary from region to
region. In the town of Quesnel,
the maximum is $44,000.
You can put down less
money as a down payment if
CMHC insures your mortgage/
rather than a private
company. The CMHC-insured

private insurers, the down

:
A group of 10 people met
September 14, 1959, to form
an Association for Retarded
Children.
Among those present was
Eileen Ramsey, the tireless
dedicated health nurse, for
whom the present health
clinic is named.
They drew up a constitution
and bylaws which was duly
registered under the Societies
Act. Then they went out to
sell memberships at $1.00 a
piece, to support this Association.
The Treasurer's report for
the first meeting as taken by
Pete Bergen on September
14,1959, listed a bank account
of $26, and 33 paid-up members.
From such small beginnings
has come the Association for
the Mentally Retarded as it is
known today.
At Mrs. Ramsey's request,
Retail food costs
For the week ending October
21, the Vancouver average
basket price stood at
$56.14, a drop of only one cent
from the figure for the
previous four weeks. It amounts
to an insignificant
decrease of 0.02 percent in the
basket price.
The figure includes prices
of several commodities which
comprise an average basket of
groceries.
A sharp decline in fresh
fruit offset several increases
in other items.
• The Vancouver average
basket price is 11.12 percent
higher than a year ago. It's
20.03 percent higher than two
years ago.
Retail banana prices decreased
after prices zoomed in
September.
Retail orange prices stayed
high, and will go higher.

Processed fruit also took a
jump - of 5.42 percent.
Canned peaches, fruit cocktail
and canned apple juice moved

Cake mixes and salted
crackers helped raise the
cereals and bread component

producer prices continued to
fluctuate. Sirloin steak, round
steak and blade steak all
advanced at retail levels by 10
to 20 cents a pound. Beef,is

Hazel Anderson, a qualified
registered nurse, became the o
first teacher of the retarded
children. She started with
two children in the, basement
of the Helen Dixon school.
This soon became 10 children
in a schoolroom with a small
workshop combined.
Over eight years ago the
Association bought the defunct
youth centre in West
Quesnel, which had a large
floor space but the roof was
caving in.
With the help of volunteer
labour, mainly from the men
who were building the pulp
mill at that time, the old roof
was removed and a new one
put on, and the inside was
finished.
The proposed gymnasium
became a hall which is rented
out for social functions. The
remaining area was divided
into a three-room Thrift Shop,
a woodworking room, a workshop
room, a dining area and a
display room. There are ample
kitchen facilities for the
hall, bathrooms and wide
hallways.
The enrolment grew over
the years, and moved to the
new building but was later °
taken over by the administration
of the school board and
was subsequently moved to
the basement of the Helen
Dixon Annex, which was a
kindergarten and previously
had a Special Class taught by
Mrs. York.
This year, the kindergarten
has been phased out and
the whole building has been
taken over by handicapped
children. There are two teachers
and three assistants.
Should the association's
grant application be accepted,
it is hoped any structure
purchased might become a
facility to be used by other
groups as well.

To make your Unemployment There's nothing new about the
Insurance Program more responsive to the system itself-it's just being measured
more finely in 48 regions, rather than 16.
The length of time a claimant must
work to get UI remains the same. It
varies from 10 to 14 weeks, depending on
the unemployment rate where the
claimant lives. And regionally-based
benefits have the same maximum.
special needs of different areas of Canada,
there are now 48 economic regions for
UI. (Up to now,.there were 16 regions.)
With this change, UI benefits
will more accurately reflect your local
employment conditions.
It's all part of a plan announced
over a year ago.
Each of these new 48 regions will .
have its own unemployment rate. This
will set the length of time a claimant must
have worked to become eligible for Unemployment
Insurance benefits. And it
will govern the length of benefits as well.
November 23rd & 24th, 1978
The change will only affect those ,
whose UI claims start after November 12.
This map and the information
with it will show you the new economic
boundaries in your area.
Clip the map and save it for
reference, if you like.
