LOCAL NEWSRPCS Lions defying the odds

As we sat down, head basketball coach Brent Tower joked, “if you have two hands and two feet, you’re on the basketball team.”

That may sound like hyperbole, but at a school of just a 160 kids – seven of which are in grade 11 and 12, it’s closer to an actuality than you think.

The Ron Pettigrew Christian School Lions boys basketball team from Dawson Creek is made up of just eight players, most of which are in grade 11 and several are grade 10— only the beginning of which makes the team’s journey a special one.

The Lions are classified as a ‘A’ school by the B.C. High School Basketball Association, defined as 75 students or less in grade 11 and 12, but on the court it hasn’t mattered and the team will continue their magical run with a second straight trip a to Langley for provincials next week.

“We’ll never see a team like this again, the stars aligned with a lot of talent coming together… it’s become quite the process. We’re very happy, the kids have done phenomenal. Exceeded our expectations,”“Our guards were just so much better than them… Our boys are just so self motivated,” Tower said. “[and] they were as good ambassadors [for the school] off the floor as they were on the floor.”

That booked them a trip to provincials

for a second straight year and this year they don’t just want to arrive, they want to make a statement.

“That’s been the goal since day one. As a matter of fact, 2017 was the goal… To win provincials is the ultimate goal for all these kids and so that’s what we’re working towards, but we could be early. We are peaking perfectly,” Tower said.

Last year travelling to provincials in Langley was an eye opening experience for Tower and his squad, several of whom had never travelled beyond the boarders of Dawson Creek.

“Last year was such a long shot that I didn’t really put big expectations on it,” he said as he explained they were overwhelmed in game one, losing by 50.

“We were a small team, a young team.

They played their hearts out and we lost our first two games and won our last two games. It was a learning experience of being in that environment. Where there is a lot of good basketball players and a lot of good basketball going on... now we know the lay of the land.”

Along with their experience last year, the Lions also lined up against two of the premier single A schools in the province early this season, Kelowna Christian and Osoyoos. They lost those games by 15 and 17, but learned a vital lesson in the process.

“We went down and played Kelowna Christian, who won the whole thing last year and we lost to them by 17,” the head coach added.

“We learned a lot… everything that we come across we just learn... They just keep learning and improving… we learned that we were close. We lost to them by 17, we didn’t have our big center and we didn’t have one of our guards…The boys know in the back of their head that we are close and that’s important… a lot of the boys said to me after, ‘they aren’t that good.’.”

Tower stopped short of a prediction for this year at provincials, but indicated finishing this year higher than the 2015 mark of 13 was more than just a hoop dream.

Anglers out in force at Rotary ice fishing derby

For Rick Hackworth, there’s something serene about dipping a line through a hole in a frozen lake.

But when he did so on Swan Lake this weekend, the scene was far from calm.

Dozens of anglers turned out for the Rotary Club’s ice fishing “frenzy” Sunday, and the event fit its billing.

Fifty holes were drilled in the ice for the catch-and-release fundraiser, with prizes for first fish caught, largest fish and biggest overall catch.

The event brought out many first time ice fishers. Hackworth, who has ice fished on and off for years, was one of the more experienced anglers on hand.

The club provided the rods and wheels, as well as the bait—a painted jighead with a rubber worm.

Hackworth said the idea was to level the playing field by standardizing the bait and tackle—adding some ice fishers use shrimp and minnows to attract fish. Northern Pike, walleye and perch make up the bulk of the fish in Swan Lake, he said.

“It’s your jigging technique, and you play with the depth that you’re jigging at to find out how deep the fish are,” he said. “There’s not a lot of other stuff you can do (to make the fish bite).”

Money raised at the event

will go towards a Rotary charitable fund, which in the past has helped social services like Networks Ministries, local food banks and the Mizpah Transition house. According to Rotarian Alex Reschny, some of the money could go to a splash park that’s being proposed at Rotary Lake in Dawson Creek.

“It’s to get people out and be active in the warmer part

of the winter months, to play on the snow and ice,” Reschny said of the event.

The club had a laptop with an internet connection on hand to register first-time fishers.

Hackworth said he expected many anglers would be back to fish for keeps.

“There’s nothing better than a fresh caught fish out of an ice cold lake,” he said.

| JONNY WAKEFIELD PHOTODrawings of a proposed apartment complex on 21st street included with a city of Dawson Creek development permit.

DAWSON CREEK — Dawson Creek city council has given the go ahead to a developer seeking to build a major apartment complex on the west side of town.

John Vetter hopes to build more than 160 apartment units in the 8600 block of 21st Street, phased in between a 120-unit building and six eight-unit structures. It would be among the largest apartment devel-opments in the city if completed.

In early 2014, council granted a development permit for the project.

However, the permit lapsed when work failed to start within the re-quired two-year period.

The city will inform nearby prop-erty owners of the project, which must go through a fresh round of public consultations.

Vetter hopes to start construc-tion on two of the eight-unit build-ings this summer. The eight-unit buildings would be 1,200 square foot strata properties.

Vetter added the plan is to phase in the development over the next two to three years.

Jack Cornish purchased a 1963 ½ Galaxie 500 XL back in 1991. It had sat in the old CN building on Alaska Highway for a number of years. The ceiling had fallen in on it and it was covered with insulation. It was rusted so bad you could look through the car at any location.“I found a body in Washington, USA, with no rust and only a few dents, so now I had something solid to work with. I built a rotisserie to roll the body to a comfortable repair height and to do the underside with it o� the frame.”“I purchased most of the parts from Greg Donahue in Florida City, Florida. The rest of the parts came from all over Canada and the USA. I took the car to Joey’s place in Edmonton and they installed the headliner, seat covers and all the snaps on the chrome with new clips after they had done a complete paint job. It took 12 years to restore the car.”“The reason I wanted the car is because it is an exact replica of the one my Father purchased new when I was a teenager. We drove it like we stole it. I really enjoyed the car and o� the starting line I saw very few tail lights. It had a 390 engine and I would hold the gas pedal down until it quit smoking the tires.”I enjoy my car very much and I am proud to be a part of the Mile Zero Cruisers.Jack Cornish

LOCAL NEWS As downturn drags on, domestic violence support services see ‘spike’ in demand

Social workers in Fort St. John and Dawson Creek say they’re seeing a “spike” in demand for domestic violence support services as families feel the strain of the economic downturn.

Officials with Community Bridge in Fort St. John and the South Peace Community Resources Society (SPCRS) say the slowdown in the oilpatch is leading more women to access victim’s services and seek help leaving abusive relationships.

It’s a trend seen across Western Canada as the region grapples with one of the worst oil and gas downturns in a generation.

Arden Smith, manager of family safety, counselling and support services at SPCRS, said layoffs and dwindling

employment insurance benefits are tied to increases in relationship violence.

“Financial stress is one of the big stressors in any relationship, whether it’s good or bad,” she said. “The more stress factors they have, the more things escalate.”

Karla Marsh, executive director of Community Bridge, told the Alaska Highway News that in the past year, the agency has seen a 100 per cent increase in the wait list for its Stopping the Violence women’s counseling program.

As of the end of January, there were 54 people were waiting for counseling, Marsh said last month.

“This is for women leaving abuse or dealing with domestic violence,” she said. “We’ve had a real spike in our women’s counseling.”

In Dawson Creek, wait lists for similar programs are also up, Smith said.

LOCAL NEWS As downturn drags on, domestic violence support services see ‘spike’ in demand

| JONNY WAKEFIELD“Financial stress is one of the big stressors in any relationship.” — Arden Smith, SPCRS.

Smith noted that only a small subset of women who experience domestic abuse will report it to the police or seek out social services.

Transition house demand remains high

The trend is less clear at transition houses for women and children fleeing violent relationships.

Community Bridge saw a 10 per cent increase in the number of nights spent at its transition house last year. However, demand has been flat so far in 2016.

Overall bed nights at the Mizpah Transition House in Dawson Creek were down year-to-year. However, SPCRS has had to turn people away because demand is so high. Smith said beds in the house are specifically for women and children seeking to escape abusive relationships, and that it is not intended as a shelter.

She said the house is full nearly every night.

Canary in the coal mineAccording to Smith, SPCRS staff in

Tumbler Ridge saw many of the same trends ahead of the rest of the region.

The community of 2,700 has struggled since the closure of its coal mines in 2014.

“When the financial supports were coming to a close and people didn’t have a new direction for themselves, (staff in Tumbler Ridge) started to see more and more people coming in quite desperate, having experienced relationship violence, escalations and other things,” she said.

She said anyone who hears a domestic violence situation should call the police.

“I think it’s critically important if ever you hear a person in distress, it doesn’t matter why, call in the RCMP,” she said.

“Sometimes neighbours have heard (people in) distress and not known what to do.”

JONNY WAKEFIELD PHOTOOsama Saed and his family fled their home in Damascus in 2012 as the country was engulfed in civil war.

Syrian refugee finds peace in Northeast B.C.DAWSON CREEK — When Osama Saed got a call say-

ing he was coming to Canada, he hung up the phone, convinced it was a prank.

The 31-year-old was not accustomed to hearing good

news. For nearly three years, Saed, his wife and two young

children had been living in Jordan—among the the es-timated nine million people displaced by the civil war in Syria. Before escaping the country, they spent a year fleeing violence after fighting spread to their home city of Damascus.

When the caller followed up with a text message, identifying himself as an employee of the United Na-tions, Saed realized it was no joke.

"I thought it's serious, it's true," he said in Arabic.Less than a month later, Saed, his wife Mona Khalef and

their sons Yanal and Nebal, aged 6 and 4, were in Dawson Creek. They were the first of a handful of Syrian refugee families to make their homes in Northeast B.C.

Saed and his family arrived Jan. 29., and were spon-sored by a group of Christian churches led by St. Paul's Lutheran.

"I'm happy I'm in Canada, very," said Saed in English.Saed told his story to Alaska Highway News through

Karim Hemmat, an Arabic-speaking business manage-ment instructor at Northern Lights College.

According to the Canadian government, 26,000 Syrian refugees have settled in the country. They are a mix of government-assisted and privately-sponsored, like Saed and his family.

Unsafe water, lack of basic sanitation and poor hygiene cause 80% of all sickness and disease and kill more people than all forms of violence, including war.

The biggest killer of children under the age of FIVE is unsafe water: 1.8 million children die every year – ONE child will die every 17 seconds and 5000 children will die today.

Without safe water and sanitation, life and livelihood are under threat:· 8000 people die every day from waterborne disease· Women and children (usually girls) spend hours each day fetching water,often under threat of violence

· Lack of sanitation and privacy lead to early drop-out from school among girls

· Every year, 40 billion hours spent collecting and hauling water in Africa alone

· Disputes over water jeopardize peace in every continent· Drought and starvation threaten lives and livelihood of millions of people.

At this moment, 900 million people in the world do not have access to a source of safe water within 1 km of their home; 2.5 billion lack access to adequate sanitation, 1 in 4 in the developing world has none.

Women in developing countries walk an average of 6 km daily to get water,and carry as much as 20 kg.

LOCAL NEWSTV medium Theresa Caputo

coming to Dawson Creek

Television medium Theresa Caputo is coming to Dawson Creek.

The star of the TLC Show Long Island Medium will bring her personal story to the stage at the Encana Events Centre Friday, June 3.

According to a press release, Caputo “will deliver healing messages to audience members and give people comfort knowing that their loved ones who passed are still with them, just in a different way.”

Caputo’s show is in its sixth season, and she’s appeared on talk shows across television networks, including Jay Leno, Jimmy Falloon, Dr. Oz, and The Today Show.

“The experience isn’t about believing in mediums. It’s about witnessing something life-changing” Caputo said in the release.

“It’s like Long Island Medium live, witnessing first-hand spirit communication.”

Caputo has been a “practicing medium” for more than 15 years, the release notes, and she has released two books in that time about her ability to communicate with people from the afterlife.

Her show hits the stage at 7:30 p.m., which will include a video display.

Tickets will go on sale on March 11 and will be available at the Encana Events Centre Tiger Box Office Plus. From Dawson Creek, Caputo will head to Prince George for a show at the CN Centre on June 4.

For more, contact the Encana Events Centre at 1-877-339-8499

Theresa Caputo of TLC’s Long Island Medium will be in Dawson Creek in June.

LOCAL NEWSEvery B.C. school to have next-

gen high speed Internet by year’s end, minister says

Every public school in British Co-lumbia will have access to high-speed Internet by the end of this year, Educa-tion Minister Mike Bernier announced in Dawson Creek Friday.

The province will spend $23 million bringing schools on the next-genera-tion network (NGN) by the end of 2016.

Bernier made the announcement at Dawson Creek Secondary, which re-cently received funding to upgrade its Internet access.

“Right now, only 81 per cent of the schools are hooked up to the next-gen-eration network, which is the next level of high-speed Internet,” Bernier said.

“It’s making sure eveyone has the

same opportunity, whether you’re in Vancouver or Dawson Creek,” he said. “Everyone has the same speed, the same access.”

While Dawson Creek Secondary pre-viously had high-speed Internet, though the Provincial Learning Network, Berni-er said the new system would be faster.

“One of the students came up to me and said ‘it used to take a minute for Google to load up.’ Now everything’s in-stantaneous.”

“The teachers said the same thing, night and day is a good analogy. Before if you started having too many staff or stu-dents on the Internet at the same time, it would slow everything right down.”

Telecom company Telus will install the network at urban and rural schools still using PLNet.

John Chahley, passed away Monday, February 22, 2016 at his home in Dawson Creek at 89 years of age.

He was born in Smoky Lake, Alberta, the son of immigrant parents who came to Canada with a few clothes and big dreams from the Ukraine. When John was a little boy, his parents moved to the Saddle Hills area with the promise of more land and opportunity.

He grew up there, helping his family of brothers, sisters, and parents to homestead and build a farm out of land that was mostly bush in the beginning.

John was an accomplished horseman and worked in the bush with a team of horses in the logging industry. He met Helen in the late ‘40’s. Some of John’s favourite stories were of him courting his wife, Helen, and how another man had been picked for her, but she fell in love with him. Some time went by and they moved to Dawson Creek, where Helen taught and John worked for Royal Fruit, Malkins, and Kelly Douglas(all the same company) until retirement. Their only child, Don, was born in 1953.

John was an amazing man; he loved a good joke, he was kind beyond measure, always worried about everyone else, slow to anger and quick to forgive. Most of all, John was a Christian. He believed in God and His promise of salvation with all his heart. He never doubted for a minute the love of Jesus Christ and His promise to us.

John’s last years were all about his lawn, garden, snow blowing, feeding his beloved birds, and loving his family. He was especially fond of his great-grandchildren;he always wanted to see them, play with them, and love them with his big heart.

John will be missed by all his family and friends.We can take comfort, though, that he is watching over us every day and that he is

with the Lord and his beloved Helen whom he missed so much.Expressions of sympathy in memory of John may be made by donation to theDawson Creek and District Hospital Auxiliary 11100 – 13th Street, Dawson Creek,British Columbia V1G 3W8.

Arrangements were entrusted to Bergeron Funeral Services & Crematorium Ltd.

From the P harmacist’s File

controlled with drugs called antiarrhythmic agents. These drugs work by restoring the heart’s normal electrical system. Drug selection is based on where the agent should act and how the action should be carried out For example, if a heart is beating too fast, a drug capable of slowing it down is selected. Conversely, if the heart beats too slowly, the physician will prescribe a drug that will make it beat faster.

Cardiologists (heart specialists) use electrocardiographs to analyse the heart’s electrical system. The results of the analysis are printed on a chart called an electrocardiogram (ECG). The doctor uses the ECG to determine what the problem is and where it is occurring-and then selects the appropriate drug needed to restore normal heart rhythm.

All antiarrhythmic agents cause adverse e� ects. More often than not, these e� ects are temporary or can be relieved with non-pharmacological measures.

Consult your pharmacist if you experience bothersome side e� ects.

What is a pacemaker?A pacemaker is a heart stimulator that is

programmed to deliver precise electrical stimulation to the heart. It is sometimes used for individuals with bradycardia (when the heart is beating too slowly). When medications are not able to restore the heart’s normal rhythm, your doctor may advise you to get a pacemaker.

Can someone die from arrhythmia?YES. Minor heart rhythm disorders are frequent

and rarely require medication. However, if the heart’s pumping function is severely impaired, blood circulation can become ine� ective and drugs have to be used to prevent strokes and heart attacks (infarction)

(Dysrhythmia- Tachycardia- Bradycardia)What is arrhythmia?Arrhythmia means the rhythm of the heartbeat

has altered either in time or in force.The heart is the muscle that pumps blood

throughout your body. The blood transports oxygen, which is essential for your organs to function properly. The heart is made up of four parts (chambers). These chambers have to � ll and drain in a speci� c order for the heart to work e� ciently. An electrical system controls the heart’s work, making sure that it beats in a constant and regular manner.

When the body is at rest, the heart usually beats between 60 and 100 times per minute. When the electrical system fails, the heart has dysrhythmia, meaning it is beating with an abnormal rhythm. If the electrical system fails in one chamber only, the heart’s e� cacy will be reduced because it will no longer beat in a synchronized manner. If there is too much current, the heart beats too fast (tachycardia). Not enough current, and it beats too slowly (bradycardia).

Whatever the cause, the result is always the same: the heart becomes an ine� ective pump and every organ, the heart included, receives less oxygen and wears out faster.

What to avoidIndividuals with arrhythmia should avoid all

situations that might over stimulate their hearts and thus make them work faster. For example, they should avoid certain foods, such as ca� eine and spirits, or strenuous sports, such as weight lifting, sprinting, or racquetbalL

Such individuals should also avoid stimulating over-the-counter drugs, such as oral decongestants, which are used to relieve nasal congestion due to a cold or the � u. They can, however, use topical decongestants (nasal sprays or drops), such as Otrivin TM.

Can arrhythmia be cured?NO. Arrhythmia cannot be cured, but it can be

Continued from Page 8Before the revolution began in March

2011, Saed worked in construction, restor-ing mosques, churches and other ancient structures. He lived in Damascus, the sec-ond-largest city in Syria, and enjoyed lifting weights at the gym.

At first, he thought the demonstrations would be short-lived—either the govern-ment would put them down, or President Bashar al-Assad would be overthrown. But by 2012, bombs were falling in Damascus and Saed realized his family needed out.

For a year, the family moved from city to city within Syria, fleeing the violence. Nebal was less than a year old at the time.

Eventually, the family made it across the border to Jordan, where they spent three days in the Zaatari refugee camp—a hot, dusty tent city of nearly 80,000. They were soon granted permission to enter the country itself after re-ceiving sponsorship.

“It was very bad in the camps over there,” Saed said of his family’s stay in Zaatari.

“Jordan camps are better than the ones in Lebanon, but it’s still very bad.”

For two years and ten months, the family was in limbo. Saed’s mother made it to Jordan, but the rest of his family remains scattered. He has three sisters and two brothers who are still in Syria. One brother, who fled the Syr-ian Army, made it out of the country. He has a friend who settled in Calgary, and a cousin in Windsor, Ont.

Saed and his family were eventually pro-cessed and flown to Montreal, where they spent 13 hours before boarding a plane to Fort St. John.

While a neighbour in Damascus had lived in Canada, Saed knew little about the coun-try, and was nervous when his plane touched down in his new home.

“I was worried, because it was me and my family alone,” he said, adding he began to feel more at ease after three days.

Now, learning English is his full-time job. He receives help from the Dawson Creek Lit-eracy Society, and takes lessons on YouTube and with a tutor. He wants his kids to go to school and is thinking about retraining to do construction work.

He hopes to see peace in his home coun-try.

“I believe the Syrian people are just asking for justice,” he said. “There was a lot of injus-tice in Syria and this is the only thing that the Syrian people are asking for—basic justice for all the people.”
