Playoff crunch time for Cougars

The Prince George Cougars weren’t doing any scoreboard watching Wednesday night in Kamloops, but that will probably change this weekend. A 7-4 loss to the Blazers tightened up the race for the final few playoff spots in the Western Conference of the WHL. With the loss, the Cougars remain at 61 points with five games left in the regular season. The Blazers moved to 59 points, also with five games left. The Tri-City Americans are on 57 points, but have six games left, including one at home...

Cariboo Cougars hope for a Royal treat

The Cariboo Cougars didn’t have an easy time with the Fraser Valley Thunderbirds in the first round of the B.C. Major Midget League playoffs, but coach Trevor Sprague wasn’t surprised. “It’s playoff hockey,” The Cougars coach said after a 4-2 win Sunday in the deciding third game. “They have some older guys on their team, and they were ready to play some hard hockey.” The Cougars finished first in the league during the regular season, while the Thunderbirds were eighth. The expected...

McLean brings wit and wisdom

Stuart McLean admits that the description of him as Canada’s favourite storyteller may be built on a bit of self-hype but as he pointed out Sunday, he was in good company “in a room full of liars” at the CN Centre. After all, doesn’t everyone in Prince George say they live in the North – when a quick look at a map of B.C. tells us otherwise? So he caught us in a little lie – but he found us in good humour. We had fun, we laughed out loud, mostly at the telling of the hilarious antics of...

Antoine back to roots of art

Michael Antoine has returned to his roots and his art. “I was so busy for so many years with my daytime jobs – I worked as a roofer, carpenter and landscaper. And when I got home at the end of the day I was just too tired, physically, to get to my art,” he said. “For a long time, I left it alone. Now I have found time to come back to it.” Antoine was one of the First Nations artisans at Aboriginal Days held at CNC’s Gathering Place on Wednesday. He facilitated a workshop during the two-day...

CNC staff facing layoffs

A number of programs at the College of New Caledonia may not be taking in new students, as the school attempts to find ways to balance its budget now and in the future. “There are no programs being cut,” president Henry Reiser said, “but there are some program intakes being suspended.” The programs being looked at are dental programs as well as the Aboriginal Early Childhood Education (AECE) program. Reiser says the motivation for each is different. “For AECE, it’s a question of low...

Small-town newspaper life resonates on film

It may have been the stage portrayal of Marie Antoinette during Theatre North West’s recent production of W.O. Mitchell’s The Black Bonspiel of Wullie MacCrimmon that brought it all to mind. Or perhaps it was a closed-session meeting of sweet-toothed councillors at City Hall. No matter, the decree has gone out throughout this northern town with due pomp and circumstance: Let them eat cake … with royal icing and lots of calories. In honour of Prince George’s 100th anniversary (March 6)...

Terrified of terror

You will likely hear that the media is over-blowing concerns about the Conservative government’s new anti-terror bill. Well, the media does have, to use a sports cliché, some skin in the game. If you are wondering why the media hate this bill (even Conservative apologist Nathan Geide has some concerns), it’s because history has shown that when police states emerge, the media is first to come under attack. No one is suggesting that Prime Minister Stephen Harper is going to start rolling out...
