LOCAL NEWSLow snow pack threatens water supplies in the region

Below average snow pack in the Peace Re-gion will translate into lower water fl ows in the coming months, potentially putting a strain on municipal and industrial water supplies.

David Campbell, head of the provincial River Forecast Centre, says snow pack levels in the region were at about 66 per cent of normal levels as of Feb. 1, while in the Liard region, they sit at only 64 per cent.

Unless some wet weather moves in, Peace Region residents can expect a drier than usual spring and summer, Campbell says.

“Once snow melts you can quickly transi-tion into drier conditions,” he said. “Having less snow on the ground you can expect (that) would happen earlier.”

The concern is heightened in areas like Northeast B.C. that are closer to Alberta.

The centre collects information from re-mote measuring stations in several locations across the province that relay data via satellite.

Over the last six years, there have been two particularly dry summers in the Peace, the re-sult of similar conditions, Campbell noted.

“We have had similar conditions,” he said. “We have actually kind of gone through cycles of dry and wet up north. A couple of years ago it was quite wet, but in the last fi ve or six years we have had ... drier conditions in the Peace.”

It’s good news in terms of a low fl ood risk, but it could put stresses on municipal and in-dustrial water supplies and fi sh habitat.

Kevin Skrepnek, chief fi re information offi -cer for the BC Wildfi re Service also noted that his offi ce will be keeping a close eye on the wa-ter fl ow data.

“It isn’t super tightly correlated to fi re ac-tivity,” he said, but “it does give you a broad indicator. We certainly factor that in. (When) we’re a little further into the spring, we’ll start to get a better idea. Certainly in broad strokes (it shows) how early the season is going to be, but not how intense it is going to be.”

The dream track and field season for Dawson Creek native Fiona Benson that closed last year when the calen-dar turned continued on the weekend with a win at the Canadian Indoor Open Championships in Montreal.

Benson won the women’s invitational 800 metres in thrilling fashion, hold-ing off a significant challenge on the homestretch from American Chrishuna Williams. Benson finished the race in 2:06.01, just 0.04 seconds ahead of the American.

Benson’s time of 2:06.01 is six seconds off the Canadian record pace put up by teammate Melissa Bishop on a race on

the same day in Glasgow. It is currently second ahead of New Brunswick runner Grace Annear who has the third best in-door time early in the season.

The indoor time is well back of the 1:59.59 personal best Benson raced at the Beijing IAAF Track and Field Cham-pionships.

Well the accolades continue to pile up, Benson was also named the Dawson Creek Athletic Association Sam Wilson ‘Athlete of the Year’ Award winner in De-cember and the award is annually giv-en to athletes who have accomplished something of merit at the provincial level.

LOCAL NEWSLocal hiring policy in the works in Dawson Creek

While they won’t be binding, Daw-son Creek is developing local hiring guidelines for oil and gas companies operating near the city.

Mayor Dale Bumstead, who trav-

elled to Calgary last week to meet with oil and gas companies about municipal issues, said several repre-sentatives felt a policy defining what the community considers “local” would be helpful.

“Industry are really keen about it, because they see the benefits of get-

ting social licence,” he said, referring to local buy-in for natural resource projects.

The South Peace Economic Devel-opment Commission, a committee made up of mayors from Dawson Creek, Tumbler Ridge, Chetwynd, Pouce Coupe and electoral area di-rectors, is working to craft the policy.

However, the city has no binding say in how companies hire.

“You’re not asking them to change their existing procurement policies, you’re asking them to have a look at your aspirations and see if that’s something they’d accept,” Chief Ad-ministrative Officer Jim Chute told council at Monday’s meeting.

“You’re not talking about regulat-ing, you have no authority to regu-

late.”Bumstead said the policy could

include lists of local service com-panies, including water haulers, vac trucks, and industrial first aid pro-viders. The policy would also open lines of communication between in-dustry, local government and busi-nesses in the region, Bumstead said.

He did not know of other resource communities with similar guide-lines.

“It gives local companies the op-portunity at being considered,” he said. “Our expectation is that if in-dustry are coming in here and build-ing a pipeline, they will give local companies an opportunity at bid-ding on that.”

LOCAL NEWSWeak oilpatch could be boon

for Dawson Creek paving plans

When it comes to gravel, cement and asphalt, it’s a buyer’s market.

Dawson Creek city council hopes the downturn in the oilpatch will make for big savings on its summer road-work budget.

On Monday, council voted to re-tender its 2016 road re-pair contract. The proposed plan, which still needs coun-cil’s approval, includes pav-ing:

• 10th Street from Alaska Avenue to 104th Avenue

• 15th Street from 108th to 111th Avenue

• 8th Street from 96th Av-enue to 100A Avenue

“I think the most competi-tive pricing we’re going to see is this year, because I believe the industry turns around by the end of the year,” said Mayor Dale Bumstead, who expects to see investment in a liquefied natural gas plant in 2016.

“When that happens, then it’s a whole different game in terms of having the trucks, the equipment, all that stuff.”

City staff said prices are low for gravel, cement, and trucking, as well as the oil used in asphalt.

Last year, the city awarded its summer roadwork con-tract to Peter Bros. Construc-tion. The company offered to do the work again for the same price.

While staff noted last year’s work was on-time and on-budget, the city is bet-ting it can get a lower price

through an open bid.“We wouldn’t advise ex-

tending (the contract) be-cause we do think people’s pencils will be sharper now,” said Chief Administrative Officer Jim Chute.

The city’s road repair bud-get is set at $2.64 million this year, according to a report to council. The three-year roads plan calls for $7.43 million in spending.

Coun. Mark Rogers floated the idea of accelerating road

upgrades to take advan-tage of low prices. However, council has yet to make a de-cision on that proposal.

The city is also adding or fixing sidewalks on both sides of 13th Street from 103rd Avenue to 105A Av-enue, and on the east side of 13th Street from 105th Av-enue to 10th Street.

Council and staff will hold a public meeting on the 2016 budget March 8 at the Calvin Kruk Centre at 7 p.m.

Jonny WakefieldSTAFF WRITER | [email protected]

| PHOTO BY JONNY WAKEFIELD One of the roads in Dawson Creek paved last summer. Without stiff competition from the oilpatch for cement, gravel and trucking, the city is betting it can get a steep dis-count by re-tendering a road work contract.

LOCAL NEWS

Since November, a unique fi tness-based and team-building program put on by the RCMP has been taking up one hour a week

for students at Chetwynd Second-ary School.

The program is called Code Blue and is being co-ordinated by

Cst. Sue Harvey, the local detach-ment’s Aboriginal liaison.

Harvey is hoping to soon ex-pand the program to the whole Peace Region.

What is Code Blue?Answering that question takes

us to Surrey, where Harvey got her start in policing almost six years ago, and where Cst. Troy Derrick came up with the idea, initially aimed at engaging First Nations students with police.

Harvey says Derrick asked stu-dents in Surrey how he could get involved in their lives and most of them said they wanted to work out and get fi t.

“As time passed, more and more kids joined and eventually it didn’t matter (if they were First Na-tion),” Harvey said.

“A neat byproduct of that was that not only was it growing a posi-tive connection between police and youth, which is so important, it was also bridging a gap between First Nations kids and other kids,” she said. “As much as we don’t like it, there is still that divide between us in society.”

But, Harvey adds, “(students) realize we’re all the same when we’re all huffi ng and puffi ng at the end of a workout. It’s really amaz-ing what it has become.”

Harvey wasn’t introduced to the program until she went back to the Lower Mainland after being posted to Chetwynd in 2014, for an Aboriginal policing conference.

“I was brand new to Chetwynd and my mind was being blown at this conference ... and while I was there, Cst. Derrick presented on Code Blue,” she said. “He became an inspiration to me in my new

role.”Harvey knew she wanted to

bring the program to Chetwynd and started co-ordinating with Derrick.

“It was a matter of reaching out to Surrey. They had everything for me and were willing to share it,” she said.

This past December, Derrick visited Chetwynd Secondary to give Harvey some training.

Starting from three members in the Code Blue Chetwynd group, the program has grown to between 10 and 15 students who attend ses-sions one hour a week.

Although the focus is on physi-cal fi tness, the team-building as-pect also looms large, Harvey said.

“We’re not just getting the all-star athletes. We get everyone. It shows life lessons of being able to work with people regardless of their height, weight, strength, weakness, backgrounds ... it doesn’t matter.”

Harvey has visions of expand-ing the program to every commu-nity in the Peace and beyond.

“I would love for this program to be in every community in the province. There is no reason it shouldn’t be,” she said. “It ben-efi ts youth and communities as a whole.

“Kids go out on the weekends, they get drunk, they experiment with drugs. My goal is that I make them feel so good about them-selves that when they do that, they realize they feel like crap and then steer away from it, realize it’s not worth it,” she said.

“I can hope that’s the result of what we’re doing.”

From the P harmacist’s File

• Weight loss: reduces airway blockage• Sleeping on your side: helps keep the

airway open• Exercising: helps reach a healthy weight

and improves sleep quality• Avoiding alcohol and sedatives: reduces

snoring• Stopping smoking: reduces throat

irritationsThe same lifestyle changes are

recommended for moderate to severe snoring, in addition to other measures. If snoring is due to nasal congestion (cold, allergies), a decongestant or nasal vaporizer can really help improve the situation. Breathing strips can also help open the nasal passage.

A treatment known as continuous positive airway pressure is another common solution. In other words, a constant fl ow of air fl ows through a mask, keeping the throat open and preventing the soft tissue from collapsing. This method is highly eff ective but becomes a crutch since it does not resolve the problem. The mask must be worn every night.

A dental splint can also be used to prevent the soft tissue at the back of the throat from creating a blockage and prevent the tongue from falling back into the mouth. These devices can be uncomfortable and are not for everyone.

Surgery can be eff ective in removing redundant soft tissue. The objective behind all these methods however is essentially the same: keep the airway clear.

Snoring is the sound produced by the vibration of the soft palate and the uvula. Although snoring may not necessarily disturb the snorer, it can certainly have a detrimental eff ect on those around him as the noise emitted can, on occasion, be compared to that of a truck. Furthermore, snoring can be indicative of other problems such as sleep apnea or a deviated septum. It should not be taken too lightly.

CausesThere are a wide range of factors that can

cause snoring, including:• large tonsils; • an elongated uvula;• nasal congestion (cold, allergies);• alcohol, sedatives or sleeping aids;• sleeping position (on the back); • smoking;• deviated septum; • excess weight.SymptomsAlthough snoring is a symptom in itself, it can

cause various “side eff ects” if serious enough. Such side eff ects include:

• chronic headache;• fatigue or daytime drowsiness.DiagnosisPeople with snoring problems should speak

to their physician. The physician will be able to determine whether the snoring is related to sleep apnea or any other critical condition that may require a diff erent treatment. He will also be able to provide the patient with various options aimed at resolving the snoring problem.

TreatmentThe most widely recommended treatment for

mild snoring involves lifestyle changes such as:

Warren Viener

FORD COUPE

This is a unique car and story. The car was originally Warren’s Grandfathers stock car race car back in the 50’s and 60’s. Recently Warren tracked down the car. It was sitting in the tall grass, no trim, no engine, no interior. Over a very short time, Warren took the old hulk and turned it into a labour of love and remembrance of his Grandfather. The car was an overwhelming top ten choice and received more votes than any car in the history of Summer Cruise.

14 teams from Dawson Creek, Peace River, Grande Prairie, Sexsmith, Birch Hills and Fort St. John made the trip for the weekend from Feb. 27-28.

In the end, the home side played generous hosts and lost gold medals in both the U16s, and the U17/18 portions of the event.

The Central Peace Panthers beat DCVC U17/18 girls in the fi nal 25-14 and 25-15. The Grande Prairie Wolves beat the Fort St. John Ice in the U17/18 third place game 26-24 and 25-20 to take bronze.

Next up for the DCVC girls is a trip to Calgary on March 5-6 for the second premier tournament of the year.

The DCVC U16 girls also claimed sil-ver, losing in a three set thriller to the Sexsmith Sonics (25-15,21-25, 15-12).

The FSJ Ice U16s grabbed bronze, beating the Grande Prairie Wolves 25-18

Marjorie (Peters) KetolaOctober 26, 1923 – February 5, 2016

It is with great love and blessings we announce the passing of Marjorie (Peters) Ketola on Friday, February 5, 2016.

Marjorie was born October 26, 1923 in Didsbury Alberta, the fourth of six children to Marshall and Jean Miller. After being hailed out three years in a

row, her father Marshall decided to check out the rich land of promise, the Pouce Coupe prairie, where crops could grow as high as your shoulders. After spending ten days in the area, land was purchased and the Miller family was on the move in November of 1927. They finally arrived at their new home in South Dawson December 7, 1927. Marjorie and her siblings attended the South Dawson School a half mile from their farm. Her final year of school she passed into grade nine. She did not go any further as she was needed at home to help with the farm. After reaching the age of 18, Marjorie continued working for her father in a mobile cook shack. Marshall had a contract for gravelling the Rolla Road and Marjorie’s job was to keep the men well fed.

In her spare time at home on the farm, Marjorie enjoyed riding her horse Shorty around the countryside. One day she happened to ride up to a fellow “John Peters” and his car stuck in the mud. John harnessed up her Shorty horse and pulled out the car. That fall John and Marjorie were married and soon the children began to arrive, Marshall, Jeanne, Randall, Rodney, Darrell and Garry. It was a good life in Dawson Creek with a very busy home as most were at the time. To keep a family of eight well fed, large gardens and home-baked bread were the norm. In the fall the garden was harvested and freezing and canning were carried out. The children as they grew were encouraged to participate in sports and youth clubs. Marshall was the air cadet, Jeanne a dancer, and the other four boys, hockey, baseball, and cubs and scouts.

Sundays were always time for Sunday school and church. Marjorie was a life-long member of the United church, her faith in God and teachings of Jesus gave her a quiet confidence that served her well throughout her life. In 1973 John passed away due to cancer. As the children were for the most part raised by this time, Marjorie found employment at SS Kresge’s working daily. This enabled her to be out of the home more, pay the bills and also meet and enjoy new friends. She worked at Kresge’s for three years, and one evening, while out for dinner met a man by the name of Ted Ketola. Ted, also know as Blondie, was working and living in Fort Nelson at the time as a heavy duty mechanic. Love was in the air and Marjorie and Ted were married May 27,1975 with Fort Nelson being their home. In addition to Marjorie’s six children, Ted also had seven; Lorraine, Judy, Richard, Howard, Gail, Kari and Lori all became members of Marjorie’s large loving family. Life with Ted in Fort Nelson was a new adventure. Ted was a prospector and lived for the oppor-tunity each summer to go out into the wilderness searching for gold. So, for at least a month or so every summer, off Marjorie and Ted would go, truck, camper, river boat and tents. They would pan in every river and stream they came to. One summer they found a really good showing in the Highland River and a claim was made. The real work then began. They worked the claim for a season or two but unfortunately Ted’s health was beginning to fail, their last trip up the Highland was the summer of 1987. Ted passed away November 20, 1988.

Although Marjorie’s son Garry and his family were living in Fort Nelson at the time, life was just not the same for Marjorie. So with Garry’s help Marjorie move back to Dawson Creek in 1995, living at Rotary Harbour and then later at Rotary Village. She enjoyed being back in the country of her youth, with all the memories and acquaintances of her past. She particularly en-joyed being closer to her sisters, Edna, Leona and Thelma. Sundays were of course her favourite day of the week with church services followed by brunch at Darrell’s home. Every birthday in the family was a reason for a dinner and a celebration. Dawson Creek was very central and through-out the years both immediate and extended family would come for visits. Marjorie would greet everyone with a hug and there was always enough food for an extra plate or two.

In 2010 Marjorie’s life changed with a heart attack. While in the Dawson Creek and District Hospital recovering she fell and broke her right arm making life very difficult. No longer able to live independently she was moved into Rotary Manor where she resided until her passing. For the most part she enjoyed the manor, giving her the opportunity to work on her crafts, and in the early years, partake in the field trips around the country. She particularly enjoyed the social get togethers, her favourite of course being Christmas.

Marjorie was predeceased by her parents Marshall and Jean Miller, husband John, son Mar-shall, husband Ted, sisters Edna and Leona, brother Clarence, grandson Christopher and grand-daughter Jayde.

Marjorie will be remembered for her beautiful smile, her welcoming hugs, her generosity for family, and her warm, friendly conversations over tea. She will be remembered in our hearts forever.

Lovingly remembered by her family Jeanne (Ray), Randall (Gena), Rodney (Natalie), Darrell (Monique), Garry (Colleen), daughter-in-law Sherri (Ray). Lorraine (Terry), Judy, Richard (Gail), Howard (Penny), Gail (John), Kari (Stan), Lori (Tim) and their families, 22 grandchildren, 24 great grandchildren, and 5 great great grandchildren. Sister Thelma, brother Bill (Joyce) numerous nieces and nephews.

The family wishes to thank the management and staff of Rotary Manor for their kindness and care. We also thank the many friends and family that have visited and brightened her days.

A memorial service was held Thursday February 11, 2016 at the First United Church in Daw-son Creek. Donations in Marjorie’s memory may be made to the Rotary Manor Resident Council Fund: 1121 – 90thAve, Dawson Creek, BC V1G 5A3.

| DARREN GIERSCH PHOTOSParticipants in the Alcan 5000 car rally made a pit stop in Dawson Creek on Friday evening, posing for photos in front of the Alaska Highway welcome sign. More than 30 drivers took part in the rally, held every four years since 1984, to test their skills against some of the world’s toughest winter roads. Motor-sports enthusiasts call it a time/speed/distance rally—not a race—a drive that’s more about precision than speed. The rally, sponsored by the tire company Nitto, began in Seattle before making its way through Quesnel and the Peace Region, and up to Yellowknife for speed trials on Great Slave Lake. From there, drivers dip down to Fort Nelson today, picking up the Alaska Highway to Fairbanks. The rally will reach its northernmost point at Coldfoot, Alaska, before crossing the finish line in Anchorage on March 5.

DAWSON CREEK- It was a thrilling weekend at the Dawson Creek Curling Club earlier this month for the annual Ladies Spiel from Feb. 19-21.

16 teams participated and according to curling manager Jeff Ginter, “It was an exceptionally fun event, and the la-dies enjoyed a weekend of entertaining games and camaraderie,” he said in an email.

The club decided to run the cham-pionship in a different format this year, with the eight championship event

qualifiers coming from the A, B and C events. Each team then played a single elimination knockout to decide the championship on Sunday.

Ginter added that the format pro-duced some surprising finalists, with Shirley Smithard’s rink beating Rita Su-derman in the final. Gail Stefanyk and Penny LePage were the semi-finalists.

The D event featured all the teams that failed to qualify for the champi-onship event and was won by Danyell Dutka.

Next up at the DC Curling Club is the annual Men’s Spiel from March 4-6. Deadline for entry is today, March 1.
