Costumes...how to make them for Billy
Barker Days without costing a poke of gold!
Lorraine H i p k i s s and
Verna Cummins are oul to
paint the town with a historic paintbrush.
The two are introducing a crash course 'how to
make y o u r o w n B i l l y
Barker Days costumes' on a
depression type budget. Or,
as Verna puts it, "why rent
when you can recycle?"
Says Verna as to why
she and Lorraine are doing
this:
"At one time everybody used to dress up for
Billy Barker Days. " N o w if
you dress up people look at
you kind of funny."
So with that in mind,
the
talented
tailors/seamstresses are oul
lo get Ihe whole town lo
dre.ss up for B B Days 1996.
Through Continuing
Education Ihe pair will host
a Costumes for B i l l y Barker
Days course. The sessions
run Tuesday nights on Feb.
13, 20 and 27 from 7 to 9
p.m. at the textiles room of
Maple Drive Junior Second-
ary.

and the pattern, by the time
you're finished it could cost
you up to $1.50," says
Verna who once operated
Past Creations - a long time
costume rental outlet. "But
by being creative, looking
for good buys, or remodelling something you might
have in yoirr closet, and
doing it yourself, you could
probably get away with
spending no more than
$20."
Verna and Lorraine are
getting a bit panicky. It's
going to take 10 registrants
to make Ihe course go. Cost
per pupil is $22.47. Cash or
gold accepted.
"We can accommodate
up to 30 people in this
course,"
says
Verna.

bring in their rags and turn

After a l l , Verna and

Rancher Kerstin LIndholm succumbs
Our mother and
friend, Kerstin Lindholm, died of cancer at
the age of 60 years, on
January 26th, 1996.
She was a strong, courageous, loving woman who
will always be missed.
Born in Uppsala, Sweden in 1935 to Ann-Marie
and John Molin, Kerstin
grew up with her brother
Organ in the cottage in
which her father was bom.
As
a teenager she
worked at farms, driving
horses and tending animals,
and developed a love for
nature.
At age 16, she fell in
love with Rune while at her
girls school, which was
across the river from his
boys school. They married
in 1956, just-before Rune
started dental college. Her
four children. George, Erik,
Karin and Anna were
always the pride of her life.
In Sweden, Kerstin
worked as an aide in extended care hospitals. She emigrated with her family to
Canada in 1971.
She always considered
this her greatest adventure.
Rune started a dental practice in Quesnel in 1972,
where Kerstin worked as his
dental assistant for many
years, during which time
she met many of the people

Kerstin worked as a

July 2nd, 1918 in Leader,
Saskatchewan. She was predeceased by her parents,
Lambert and Anna Laturnus, and brothers Andy and
Eddy.
She will be sadly missed and lovingly remembered by her husband Ed;
children Ted, Allan (Lori),

she would have to find
some of her own.
Her two grandchildren,
Vance Lindholm and Graham Howe, appeared late in
her life.
In 1992, Kerstin and
Rune moved from North
Quesnel to a ranch in Kersley, where mom watched
the birds and the sunset
until her death, with her
dog, Molly and cat. Peach.
Kerstin enjoyed fishing
and camping with Rune and
being outdoors. She loved
to travel and fulfilled a
dream to see Alaska when
she took a cruise last summer while battling her disease. She also travelled to
Sweden, England and California while undertaking
chemotherapy.
Singing was a joy to
her and she was a dedicated
member of the Quesnel
ladies Batbershop for many
years. She was an excellent
cook.

On The Take
by Stevie Cfimeron. (Non-fiction)
When Brian Mulroney's Tories leR office in 1993,
Canadians breathed a collective sigh of relief
Canadians knew they didn't like the T017 regime, but
they didn't know half the story. V e t e m investigative
reporter Stevie Cameron's speUbinding account of nine
years of political corruption uncovers a cast of shrewd
opportunists, freelance rogues, and thieves in high
places whose connections stretched from the office of
the Prime Minister to the dens of organized crime.

by Gail Sheehy. (Non-fiction)
People are taking longer to grow up and much longer
to die, thereby shifting all stages of adulthood. Baby
boomers in their forties are rejecting the whole notion
of middle age. h i it's place, Sheehy discovers and maps
out a completely new frontier- Second Adulthood in
middle life. M e n eind women who embrace a Second
Adulthood are progressing through entirely new
passages into lives of deeper mesuiing, renewed
playfulness, and creativity beyond menopause and
mede menopause. New Passages tells us we have the

Kleedehn, who won the
1995 long distance race,
repeated as the A Division
champion this year. The
Carcross, Yukon resident
covered the 280 kilometre
course in a time of 34 hours
and 56 minutes.
Vogler captured the
mid-distance race, or B
Division, a distance of 170
km., with a time of 11
hours, 42 minutes and 58
seconds.
With his time, Vogler
smashed the old record of
14:19:00, set in 1994 by
John Douglas.
In 1995, the Lac La
Hache native took home the
C Division title.
And in the C division, a
distance of 67.5 kilometres,
Elaine Hamilton crossed the
finish line first with a time
of four hours, three minutes
and 15 seconds.
Hamilton, who hails
from Washington State,
beat Marcel Erzinger of Lac
La Hache, who placed second, by seven minutes and
four seconds.
What made this year's
race different from previous
races was this weather.
Chilly minus 30 and
"There were so many
variables as to why we
closed the last section of the
A
race
down," says
G R T S D R member Jeff
Dinsdale.
"The weather was certainly a factor. We didn't
want our volunteers standing outside in -40 degree
temperature. Logging truck
traffic was another; without
volunteers, we couldn't
monitor truck traffic."
"But
despite
such
adversities," Dinsdale adds,
"we had a lot of positive
response from all the competitors."
"One racer even told
me it was the best organized
race he'd ever been too,"
adds Dinsdale.
The race featured many
stories within itself.
For example, two sledders, Frankie Ortloff and
Rusty Rise, decided to sleep
outside in the -40 lemperature.
Ortloff crashed in a
sleeping blanket while Rise,
who didn't want to unroll
his sleeping blanket, threw
some hay on the ground and
went to sleep.
Rise, deeply concerned
about the cold weather.
thought that if he warmed
up, he wouldn't want to finish the race.
Incredibly, neither of
them froze
to death,
although Rise did get up
later that night and went to
sleep inside a nearby checkpoint cabin.
In the morning, Judy
Kushman thought Ortloff
had died. After trying to
wake Frankie up, who
showed no response, Kushman thought the Burns Lake
resident had frozen to death.
Ortloff, who said her
bed was "toasty-warm",
was just dog-tired and
didn't want to get out of
bed.
Ron
White,
who
received a hard-luck trophy
for having dog-trouble iast
year, had dog trouble this
year.
His animals literally
tangled with any other dogs
that came near them.
In the long distance
race, only three of the
racers, Kleedehn, Rise and
Ortloff, completed the
course.
A lot of American
entries were received this
year, which means word
about the race is spreading
beyond Canada's borders.
One racer bought cheap
jackets for his dogs to wear;
and apparently they worked
quite well.

The Quesnel Millionaires secured a
playoff spot over the
weekend.
A CRISIS?
I
The competition at
the B.C. Interior Curling Playdowns was
tough.
A n d local curling team
of Jim Jensen, B o b B l a y lock, Larry Giesbrecht and
Bob Pethick found out first
hand.
The Ouesnel rink, who
earned a spot at the Interior
Championships two weeks
earlier w i t h a w i l d c a r d
berth, lost all three games
they played.
But despite going 0-3,
Jensen says the experience
was great. "We had a great
time in Salmon A r m ; it was
a great l e a r n i n g experience."
"There was some fantastic compjetition there and
we seen a lot of good games
played," he adds.
In their first match, on
Friday afternoon, they took
on T r a i l ' s Paul Devlin and
lost 11-4.
The two blanked the
first two ends before Trail
.scored two in the third. In
the fourth, the locals replied
with two of their own.
B y the end of six, the
score was tied 3-3. Then
Trail blew the game open,
as they scored four in the
seventh and another four in
the ninth, and went on to
win.
Later that day, Quesnel
took on T o m S h y p i t k a ' s
club from Cranbrook and
lost 7-2. Results from that
game were not available.
On Saturday, the locals
lost 8-3 to Wayne L^tace of
Vernon.
The
Vernon
team
jumped out to a quick start,
as they scored one in the
first, one in the second and
one in the third.
Quesnel
responded,
scoring their fist point in the
fourth. V e r n o n , however,
increased their lead, as they
scored two in the fifth, two
in the seventh and one in
the ninth.
For their part. Jensen's
club scored one in the sixth
and one in the eighth.
W i n n i n g the P l a y downs was Fred Puetz of

the hands of McPhee's rink.
Spartans fourth
The Spartans battled their way to a fourthplace finisli in Prince George.
At the D P . Todd senior boys basketball tournament
last weekend, Quesnel Secondary's squad won two of three
matches and claimed the consolation championship.
In their first game, the Spartans were matched up
against Duchess Park, one of the province's top-ranked A A
teams.
Despite playing solid defence, Q S S , plagued with turnover problems, lost in the end to the Trojans, who feature a
trio of 6 " " forwards. Matt Tobin threw in 189 points while
Doug Mackay chipped in 11.
The Spartans next challenge was against Kelly Road, a
team who had beaten them just three weeks ago.
W i t h Q S S showing an improvement in their team
defence lately, Kelly Road proved to be no match for the
Spartans. At the half, Quesnel led the Prince George schtnil
60-4t). A n d from there, they cruised to an 88-77 win.
