It was supposed to be a di-saster, a painful moment for the City of Dawson Creek. But the day Memorial Arena was shut down for the sea-son and its future put in doubt has since been turned into an opportunity to rewrite the future of hockey in Dawson Creek.

Saturday night moved the city one step closer to getting some outside help with its are-na issues when it was named a finalist for the Kraft Hockeyville competition.

That comes with a guar-anteed $25,000, along with a chance to win a $100,000 up-grade to the current ice facilities and an NHL pre-season hockey game next fall.

“Sometimes out of a neces-sity comes innovation,” Peace River South MLA Mike Ber-nier explained shortly after the announcement on Satur-day night. “I mean, we have so much passion in the commu-nity for hockey, to lose an ice surface is really devastating for the sport here. The parents, the kids, everybody deserves this

announcement.” Mayor Dale Bumstead said

that hearing the words “Daw-son Creek” over the airwaves of Hockey Night In Canada was a special experience in its own right.

“You just feel the pride in your community when people stepped up and put themselves on the line to get your com-munity to have an opportunity like this,” he said. “That’s what

the passion of a community is. That’s why we’re the number one small city in Canada.”

Bumstead also noted that, as an optimist, his belief that Dawson Creek was going to be one of top 10 communities never wavered.

“I always have this opti-mistic view of things, so I was feeling like we were a winner anyway going into the day,” he said.

'we are hockeyville'“Seeing the work that these guys have

done and the work they put through to the nomination, the number of nomi-nations we have accumulated... Now the icing was tonight, to see your com-munity have an opportunity to win a national competition, to finish in that sort of category, all the benefits of it are just one more example of why we are a great city.”

For Bill Darnbrough, being named to the top 10 was confirmation of what he already knew. “We’re really excited,” he said. “The whole community has come together. The hockey community, the community in general — we are a hock-ey town and we are Hockeyville. We’re top 10, we have to beat out four other communities from the west to be top two and I think we can do it.”

Darnbrough was one of the key orga-nizers of the original nomination.

He explained that the real work for

the community starts now. Prepara-tions are in the works to set up online voting stations where people can cast a vote to make Dawson Creek the next Kraft Hockeyville.

Voting will begin at about 11 p.m. EST after the Hockey Night in Canada broadcast on March 21 and conclude March 23.

“I think the momentum of get-ting here was one step but the next step now,” Bumstead said. “I hon-estly believe that people will see this — and now you’ll see voting parties, you’ll see events taking place in the community trying to engage people into it. We have an opportunity to do something really, really cool — how amazing would it be to have two NHL teams coming into Dawson Creek to play a pre-season game?”

Almost three weeks ago Saturday, the rivalry across the river came to a head with an over-time showdown that resulted in the Fort St. John Huskies (14-16-0) eliminating the Dawson Creek Junior Canucks (14-12-4) from the North West Junior Hockey League Playoffs.

That would turn out to be the last win of the season for the Huskies after being swept by the North Peace Navigators, and provided a mo-ment of refl ection for opposing head coach of the Junior Canucks Eric Fulton.

“It started last month,” Fulton said about when preparation will start for next season. “It started when we brought those young guys up. We know we are losing some guys.”

Fulton’s message was a similar one to what Todd Alexander delivered after the Huskies bowed out in the NWJHL playoffs with a game four 4-3 to the North Peace Navigators.

“We’ve got some recruiting to do for sure,” Alexander said about the future of his club.

“So that’s something we’ll look at doing as well to help out to bring some of the younger guys along. We defi nitely have room to pick up some 20-year-olds because we don’t have many 19-year-olds… we have some good pieces com-ing back next year that were a little bit part time last year.”

Both teams were veteran heavy this season, the Huskies had six 21-year-olds this season at some points, while the Junior Canucks had four. With injuries to key players coming at in-

opportune times to both sides, young players, particularly those from the Northeast B.C. and Yukon Midget Trackers got a chance for an early taste of life in junior B hockey.

“It’s a learning experience for a lot of these guys,” Alexander said. “We haven’t been getting a pile of kids out of minor hockey here lately. That’s starting to change. We are getting some pretty good coaching going on… now we’re starting to get hockey players with a little bit better knowledge of the game when they get to us.”

The Huskies will have eight 21-year-olds heading into next season given the state of their current roster and will be forced to cut that number down signifi cantly when the season starts in October.

The Junior Canucks will have fi ve 21-year-olds without any roster changes from this year to next, also something they will have to offset heading into the 2015-2016 season.

Up front, both teams were led in scoring by a 20-year-old who will likely return, Junior C’s forward Colton Gies had 32 points in 28 games, and Huskies Cayle Bell who had 35 points in 26 games.

The Huskies will lose two top defenders, with John Apsassin and Daylen Pearson aging out for Fort St. John, and late season captain Brendan Lazinchuck will not return for Dawson Creek.

The key for both teams will be in net, as each will lose their starting netminder.

Josh Round will be heading to University of Central Oklahoma next season, while Tra-vis Mclean is unsure of his status for next year

Construction work is progressing well on the Dawson Creek/Chetwynd Area Transmission Project (DCAT).

Between mid-March and early April, some helicopter work will be taking place along the DCAT right-of-way, as follows:

Second half of March: The initial stages of conductor stringing will be taking place on the west segment of DCAT. You may notice helicopters working between the new Shell Groundbirch Substation site (Highway 97, just west of 281 Road) and the new Sundance Lakes Substation site (Highway 97 about 19 km east of Chetwynd).

First half of April: Helicopters will be used for an aerial survey of the entire DCAT line, from the Dawson Creek Substation to the Sundance Lakes Substation site. This will involve several flights along the right-of-way over a period of about four days.

Please note that helicopter work is weather dependent, so all dates are approximate.

BC Hydro and its contractors have obtained the necessary permits and permissions, and will be in compliance with Transport Canada requirements.

For more information on the DCAT project, visit bchydro.com/dcat or contact BC Hydro at [email protected] or toll free 1 866 647 3334.

Both the Dawson Creek Junior Canucks and the Fort St. John Huskies will have the tough task of retooling theirrosters next year after losing several key veterans this season.other than to hint that he would like to mind the net for the Senior Flyers next season.

That leaves the Junior C’s with rookie Nathan Anderson, who was a respect-able 6-3-1 this season with a 3.54 GAA and an .873 save percentage. Trackers goalie Mitchell Traichevich is also on Dawson Creek’s radar.

The Huskies will likely rely on Daimon Derouin if he decides to re-turn. Derouin played 12 games this sea-son for the Huskies, going 6-6-2 with a 4.17 GAA and a .874 save percentage.

If the Huskies choose to go in a dif-ferent direction, they did get one posi-tive start this season from Logan Ed-

wards, who won his only start making 28 saves.

Both coaches’ emphasized injuries that played a crucial role in the way the season turned out, and expressed depth as an important part of the off-season search to help solidify rosters this season.

Either way it will likely be a youth movement on display for the 2015-2016 season in the Peace Region and that de-velopment will be the most intriguing story when camps kick off in Septem-ber.

The view from Dr. Charles Helm’s office in Tumbler Ridge looks out onto his other office: the town’s expansive wilderness. Since moving to the community in 1992 from South Africa, Helm has undertaken more projects than he ever imagined and says that he wouldn’t have it any other way.

“I had two colleagues here in the early 1990s that I was at medical school with in Capetown and they let me know there was this opportunity here,” says Helm. “I came here and realized, okay, this is where I’m going to spend the rest of my working life because it’s so cool.”

After finishing medical school Helm spent some time working in rural remote South Africa, where he was one of four doctors for 100,000 people.

“It was very basic services and essentially your nurses there would function as the doctors would be here and you would just see the cases they send to you,” he says.

Growing up in South Africa, he says there was a great deal of racism and a political climate that really encouraged his ultimate decision to emigrate.

“As an activist I got involved in the politics at the time, as a student and as a young doctor, for better or for worse I eventually did not see myself as a martyr for a political cause as much as I’d been involved,” says Helm. “:I made the decison at that point to make Canada my home.”

On arriving in Tumbler Ridge, Helm describes his first thoughts as: mountains, rivers, forest, undeveloped.

“I’m a mountain guy and here you end up in this place in the wilderness, in the mountains where there’s so much exploring to do. You could end up in a place like

Jasper or Banff in a national park where everything has been done, all of the trails are built; you can’t contribute, you can live there and enjoy it but you can’t contribute,” says Helm. “That’s kind of been the story of our lives whether it’s through the hiking trails which we’ve designed and built about 70km and we maintain them still, every year or the dinosaur stuff that my son was involved in, in the beginning, and creating this museum product here which is now sort of unique in Canada and British Columbia certainly, and now we’re talking about trying to become this global Geopark.”

So much of Helm’s work has been towards developing a different side of the community than was the temperamental resource base that nearly saw the extinction of the community around 1999-2000. Right around the time when coal prices plummeted, causing closures in the one-resource town, Helm’s son – 8 years old at the time – and a friend came across dinosaur tracks in rocks just outside of town.

“When the kids showed me this thing I tried to be skeptical and think what else could this be, and they said can’t you see it’s a dinosaur trackway?” recalls Helm. “I said well, what else could it be, let’s think, let’s be sensible here folks. They were right, I was wrong but I did introduce the idea of skepticism which is good.”

After that first discovery, Helm says they reached out to paleontology experts, namely Rich McCrae who has now been in Tumbler for more than a decade.

“He actually came to visit and said ‘yeah, the kids have found something really important,” says Helm. “We created this museum and they created this paleontology research centre and we are now Continued on Page 10

vertebrate ichnology – dealing with tracks and trackways – enterprise in Canada.”

Looking back, Helm says they can say that slowly but steadily, they built the Dinosaur Discovery Museum and the Peace Region Paleontology Research Centre up from nothing to something that is now potentially of international significance.

“There is a recipe here: scientists drive the research which enables these things to be exhibited, volunteers get so inspired that they lead and drive the project – there’s a bottom up grassroots endeavour, politicians get on board and support it, the community gets excited, and we try and get this positive message through to the UNESCO global Geoparks network folks and we cross our fingers that it is good enough.”

Delegates from the UNESCO Global Geoparks Network will be conducting a site visit in June, which would be the final stage in determining The Tumbler Ridge Aspiring Geopark status. Helm, president of the Tumbler Ridge Aspiring Geopark Society, says it’s an exciting time but also a tense one.

Helm notes that at the time of the mine closures in the community, there were several groups working towards different opportunities to kept he community going.

“When things go badly for the town which happens periodically in a coal mining town, people feel this is totally beyond our control … people get drepressed and they want to quite and give up,” says Helm. “There’s been this incredible core of people in Tumbler Ridge that have said ‘no, this is such a brilliant place to live we cannot let this community die, we are going to try and make sure that we survive.”

Another of the areas Helm and his likeminded group got to work on is the extensive network of trails encircle Tumbler Ridge. The trails are self-sustaining, with all necessary funds for upkeep and administration coming from another initiative that grew out of the the years of economic struggle.

“One of the things we’ve created here, we’ve created this monster, in 1999-2000 that’s when the community was facing extinction, so we thought what can we do?” says Helm. “We can create a mountain run because we’ve

got these beautiful mountains.”Since its inaugural year with 35

participants, organized by just a few people, the Emporer’s Challenge has become the largest off-road run in British Columbia. This year’s run filled up within 36 hours, crashing the website repeatedly as people logged on to grab one of the 1,000 spots.

“We’ve created this monster now but we keep going year after year, but it’s such fun,” says Helm. “It’s a lot of work. A small committee, very hard working wonderful volunteers but at the end of it every year after the Emporer’s Challenge we say, ‘Yeah, we survived another year and we’re still here’.”

In Tumbler Ridge, Helm and his family’s contributions have been significant, leading to one of my most pressing questions for him: how do you have time?

“No alcohol, I’m a non-drinker,” is his first response, with a laugh before he continues. “I walk to work, two minute walk to work two minute back. compatred that to living in the city you’ve probably got two hours a day of time. and having awife and kids that just belive in the same thing, we do things together we help each other out

but things are busy, yes.”Helm’s work between the trails

and museum are only a portion of his life in Tumbler Ridge.

“I would never have ever guessed as a medical student that I would have ended up in the mountains of British Columbia with this wonderful hobby of tails and dinosaurs and paleontology but I couldn’t think of a better way that my career could have developed,” says Helm.

As one of two doctors at the town’s medical clinic – he says this is the first time in a while they haven’t been short-staffed – Helm says everyday is different.

“The medicine is good, you’re on the frontier, you’re the front line but I’ve got lovely patients here; really good, solid, salt of the earth people,” he says. “Medicine has been really fulfilling, challenging sometimes when you’re on your own and have a big emergency.”

Helm says he doesn’t quite know what drew him into medical school in Capetown, but recalls a conversation with doctor at a job fair back home before he applied to school.

“The doctor there said ‘if you go into medicine, you will never have a boring day because every day there is something new that comes across your desk or examining room’ and there’s so many other jobs where you don’t quite have that,” says Helm. “That’s the one thing I remember: the rest of my life can be exciting and a challenge everyday and something new, and that was very true especially in a place like Tumbler Ridge where anything can walk through your door, anybody with any problem and you never know what’s coming next and you’ve got to do your best to try and sort it out. It’s an intellectual and a practical challenge every day, which is great.”

On call days, which Helm says offer some down time occasionally, he’s taken up another hobby: writing.

“I got into the habit of writing books because you have to be available and can’t be out all of the time, so I use that time constructively. I’ve written seven books now on the region and I’m busy with an eighth now, hoping to publish that soon,” says Helm.

His books are focused on Tumbler Ridge: the trails, the dinosaurs and how to enjoy the place. He has also written about early explorations of the region, a children’s book on the dinosaurs. as well as photography and picture books on the area.

Helm’s latest book looks into the 1874-75 expedition from Quesnel to Winnipeg, for the Canadian Pacific Railway.

“They went through the area just south of here in the middle of winter through the pass, almost died, and it’s one of the great stories in Canadian history and it hasn’t been properly told,” says Helm. “So we’re publishing their original journals and reports with a commentary.”

Helm says being an immigrant to Canada, in a way, helps him appreciate what the country has to offer without the sense of normalcy that someone born and raised here might have.

“Canada has been so good to me, what a wonderful place to end up,” says Helm. “Who would ever have thought I would be researching and writing Canadian history, but know one else seems to have done this and here’s this opportunity to give back to Canada.”

Environment

Ten years from now, 1.8 billion people will live in areas affected by absolute water scarcity.

Did you know that nearly 700 million people in 43 countries around the globe are currently affected by water scarcity, and that by 2025, 1.8 billion people will be living in areas affected by absolute water scarcity? These statistics dem-onstrate the importance of promoting the sus-tainable management of freshwater res ources. That’s why the United Nations has headed up World Water Day every March 22 since 1993. This year’s theme is Water and Sustainable Development.

Water is central to sustainable development, and better management of reso ur ces would help to increase access to water and slow the progression of this scarcity. Although water is a natural resource (the world has enough fresh water for 6 billion people, but it is un evenly dis-tributed), it ta kes people to build access to it and make sure it is pure enough to drink.

Unfortunately, large amo unts of water are wast-ed, polluted and managed uns ustainably. During the 20th century alone, water consumption has increased more than twice as fast as the popu-lation, and regions that lack water are rising in number.

On World Water Day, take the time to re fl ect on your own water consumption and think of ways to reduce waste. Turn off the tap while you soap, stop watering the lawn and fi x leaky faucets. Remember, every drop of water saved can make a difference.

Water, an increasingly scarce resource

Improving my clients self esteem and ability to eat their foods properly is my #1 goal. I understand how important it is for everyone to smile with confidence and to enjoy a meal with friends and family.

14 years in the industry has given me the experience necessary to help each individuals specific denture needs. I feel fortunate to have the opportunity to work and help the community from which I grew up in.

Continued from Page 7So far, it is the only “small market” venue an-

nounced for Clarkson. Other tour dates include Toronto, Montreal and Calgary.

“We’re so privileged to have such a great, amazing, international act, not only with Kelly, but with Nick Jonas and Tyler Shaw,” said Ryan MacIvor, the Encana Events Centre’s general manager.

“We’re not part of a secondary tour, or tertiary tour … we’re on center stage with all the big acts, and others in terms of being on the A-list market. We’re very fortunate and pleased.”

Clarkson began her climb to fame as the win-ner of the first season of American Idol, and is arguably its most famous

winner.Since her career began in 2002, she has won

three Grammy awards and has sold over 20 mil-lion albums worldwide.

Jonas started his career singing on Broadway at age seven, and in 2005, barely a teenager, he formed The Jonas Brothers — with his brothers Kevin and

Joe — which went on to sell 17 million records.In 2010, at the age when most kids are graduat-

ing high school, he left the band to pursue a solo career.

Jonas briefly reunited with his brothers in 2012, but since then he’s performed

solo.Clarkson is promoting her new album “Piece

by Piece.”[email protected]
