City water manager gets award

Dawson Creek Water Resource Manager John Kalinczuk is the 2014 re-cipient of the Operator of the Year award from the Environmental Opera-tors Certifi cation Program (EOCP).

Kalinczuk was chosen from his counterparts across British Columbia and the Yukon.

A news release stated, “John Kalinczuk was se-lected for his outstanding contributions to the in-dustry and his infl uence within his community.”

Kalinczuk said he has been in the position for three years – moving to

Dawson Creek in 2011 from Salmon Arm – and said the award was one of his career goals that he was working toward.

“It’s pretty exciting,” he said. “I wasn’t expect-ing it this early on in my career.”

Kalinczuk said he began his studies in Kelowna in 1997, and has continued to take courses over the past 14 years, whether online, at university or through various agencies and certi-fi cation programs.

He said his ongoing training maintains certifi -cation standards and is a continuous part of his ca-reer goals.

Michele TaylorStaff Writer

The Peace Region Songwriters Association held its last Coffee-house Open Mic of the year re-cently, and the area’s music com-munity came out in full force.

Karen McGowan opened the evening at Faking Sanity with a sweet melody she wrote over the past two years and followed up with a second original piece, a yodeling song she wrote about her father back when she owned the restaurant.

“I wanted to learn how to yo-del,” she said of the song. “It’s about my dad, and he was a super-duper yodeler.”

Linda Eby and Marilyn Belak proffered poetic prose to the enjoyment of the audience, re-galing stories in verse of grow-ing up, technology, drinking

BYRON HACKETT PHOTOOlympic hockey gold medalist Cherie Piper gives a pep talk to some of Dawson Creek’s up-and-coming skaters during an on-ice session at the Encana Girls Hockey Jamboree last month.

A busy Memorial Arena showed Dave Hamilton that girls hockey in Dawson Creek is stronger than ever.

More than 80 girls aged 7 and up attended the third annual Encana Girls Hockey Jambo-ree recently, lead by three-time Olympic women’s hockey gold medalist Cherie Piper.

Hamilton, who has been at the head of girls hockey in the South Peace since the Women’s

Olympic team was in the region in 2010, said the event was defi-nitely a catalyst for the ongoing developments girls hockey has seen in the area.

“We have just created an atom-aged girls team. Which has drawn more interest in hockey, because not every girl wants to play with the boys,” he said. “We’ve got this team going – we’ve actually had to split them up into two groups, and now we are going to start playing other communities.”

All in all, the Peace Region now supports three full-scale

girls teams, up from just one last year, and all three have been travelling and playing tournaments this year.

The girls came from all across the Northeast for the weekend camp, including as far as Fort Nelson, to learn from Piper. The Ontario native explained that for her, it’s all about teaching skills that are not just good for hockey, but life as well.

“My big thing is fun, if you are having fun and are passionate about something, it’ll be a life-long game for them,” she said.

Girls hockey still growing in DC

“A lot of time things get lost in wins and losses, and that’s not the perspec-tive we need to have as mentors, as par-ents, as coaches – the focus needs to be on the lifelong process of being healthy and being active; being in the game, learning life skills through sport. And sometimes I think that gets lost.”

Piper added that if seeing her and her teammates play back in 2010 was a rea-son for the continued development of female hockey in the region, it would be a tremendous source of pride.

“Absolutely. I hope that it was partly because we were here,” she said of the impact the national team’s appearance might have had.

“And these young girls could watch women play hockey. And they can see that it is normal for girls to play, and it is OK for them to be active in sport. I would hope part of the reason is be-cause we were here and the community was so great to us.”

The weekend camp in Dawson Creek included several ice sessions where girls learned the basics of hockey, along with off-ice training sessions. There was also a meet-and-greet where Piper shared her hockey story for the group, along with showing off some of her Olympic medals.

The men and women vying to lead Dawson Creek through an impending natural gas drill-ing “boom” made their cam-paign pitches to an audience of around 100 voters last Tuesday night.

The auditorium of the Cal-vin Kruk Centre for the Arts was packed for the only coun-cil candidate forum of the 2014 Dawson Creek elections.

Ten of the 12 people run-ning for council attended the forum.

The candidates discussed everything from the nuts and bolts of recycling, sewer and road maintenance, to big-pic-ture questions about where the city will get its water in the long term and how it will sort out its fi nances.

By the end, the incumbent councillors looked secure, while no clear winner emerging among the other eight seeking two open seats.

Voters will elect six of the 12 candidates to council on Nov. 15. Terry McFadyen, Charlie Parslow, Cheryl Shuman and Shaely Wilbur are all seeking reelection. Current mayor Dale Bumstead won his seat by ac-clamation.

Three challenger candi-dates have sat on council be-fore – Paul Gevatkoff and The-resa Gladue both served on council prior to 2011, while Wayne Dahlen was mayor from 2001 to 2005.

Neither Dahlen nor Thorpe were able to attend Tuesday’s forum, which was organized by the Dawson Creek Chamber of Commerce.

Candidates had a chance to make an opening statement,

and answered questions from the audience one by one.

Overall, the format did not allow for many direct exchang-es between candidates, and criticisms of the current coun-cil’s decisions were rare.

PRAYER OF REMEMBRANCE (IN UNISON)

Almighty God we come together today to remember past wars and to pray for peace. We thank you for the assurance of your love in times of peace and in the midst of confl ict and war. We thank you for the land in which we live and for those who are willing to defend it. We especially give thanks to those who gave their lives and for those who have suff ered from the physical and psychological scars of battle. May the memory of these acts of heroism inspire and encourage us as we work for peace. Be with our nation’s leaders; help them to govern to ensure justice and peace for us and all the world. This we pray in the name of God.

PRAYER

HYMN: ABIDE WITH ME1. Abide with me; fast falls the eventide: The darkness deepens; Lord, with me abide; When other helpers fail, and comforts fl ee, Help of the helpless, O abide with me.2. I need thy presence every passing hour; What but thy grace can foil the tempter’s power? Who like thyself my guide and stay can be? Through cloud and sunshine, O abide with me.3. I fear no foe, with thee at hand to bless; His have no weight, and tears no bitterness. Where is deaths sting? Where, grave thy victory? I triumph still if thou abide with me.4. Hold thou thy cross before my closing eyes; Shine through the gloom, and point me to the skies; Heaven’s morning breaks, and earth’s vain shadows fl ee; In life, in death, O Lord, abide with me.

O God, our help in ages past,Our hope for years to come,Our shelter from the stormy blast,And our eternal home.

Under the shadow of Thy throneThy saints have dwelt secure;Suffi cient is Thine arm alone,And our defense is sure.

Before the hills in order stood,Or earth received her frame,From everlasting Thou art God,To endless years the same.

A thousand ages in Thy sightAre like an evening gone;Short as the watch that ends the nightBefore the rising sun.

O God, our help in ages past,Our hope for years to come,Be Thou our God while life shall last,And our eternal home.

You might think the legacy of WWI hangs on by a tenuous thread — as sad as it is, there are no longer any living veterans of that war. But we have the red poppy pins, In Flanders Fields, and countless books and movies to keep the story alive and to remind

us of what Canadians won and lost in the confl ict of 1914-1918. Here are a few of the reads that best recount the era, with all its glory and losses.

YOUTH FICTION. The book Road to War: A First World War Girls’ Diary, 1916-1917 is a fi ctionalized fi rst-person account that makes it real. The author puts a young woman in an active role as a WWI ambulance driver on the French front.

YOUTH NON-FICTION. The Horrible Histories Handbook: Trenches: Would You Survive World War One? is an engaging look at the stark realities of ground warfare with great illustrations.

NON-FICTION. For a Pulitzer-prize winning overview, read The Guns of August: The Outbreak of World War I, by Barbara W. Tuchman. For a contemporary re-examin-ing of Canada’s role in the confl ict, check out military historian Gwynne Dyer’s Canada in the Great Power Game: 1914-2014. For an interesting twist, try Ca nadian anthropolo-gist Wade Davis’ swee ping account of WWI and what it meant for mountaineering; it’s called Into the Silence: The Great War, Mallory, and the Conquest of Everest.

NOVELS. First published in 1920, Erich Maria Re marque’s All Quiet on the Western Front has become a classic. For the romantically in clined, Birdsong, by Sebastian Faulks, has been on best book lists for the last 21 years.

World War One comes off the page


Bud Melin was a 19-year-old sawmill worker when he got the call to join the Canadian army to fight the war against Hitler.

It was 1943, just seven days into the New Year, when Melin joined the service in Edmonton.

He took his basic training in Camrose, Alberta for about six months and went straight on to advance training in Saskatchewan for another six months and then he was shipped to Europe to a place called Pulborough, on the south coast of England.

Soon after landing, Melin and several other soldiers were refreshing their wireless operator course when the Germans attacked.

“The Germans happened to bomb the southern coast and there were 24 wireless operators from the regiment were killed,” Melin said.

With a shortage of commutations soldiers, Melin was posted to the third division of the 17th Duke of York’s Royal Canadian Hussars Regiment.

Melin’s first task with his new regiment was to work on water-proofing their armored cars so they could land in four feet of water – on Juno Beach, which years later would be the site of victory.

“We were lucky with our landing craft – we had a young English Captain, and he said ‘I’ll put you right up on the beach,’ so we drove right off,” recalled Melin. “We dropped the front doors down and drove right off on the sand.”

Melin went on to tell of the battle that he and his fellow soldiers drove into.

“It was a real calamity,” he began. “There were shells flying in all directions. We had our own artillery shells and their shells… Everybody was scared, but you had to just grin and bear it, I guess.”

The biggest battle Melin endured was in the Falaise Gap near Normandy, France.

“We were reconnaissance [there],” he said. Also known as the Falaise Pocket, this battle was a victory for

the Allied forces. “There was a big battle there,” recalled Melin. “That’s when

things got loose… the Americans, they were coming in from the south side, and the British and Canadians from another side and surrounded [the Germans].”

The battle resulted in the vast destruction of the German forces and the capture of thousands of the enemy.

Paris was freed two days later. Melin said that he and the rest of the regiment were scared, but

with the Germans withdrawing and eventu-ally surrendering, it was well worth it.

Melin then travelled to Belgium, then Holland, where he was posted to protect a bridge.

“The Germans were trying to blow it up,” he said. “They were floating explo-sives down the river.”

Parked on a little hill along the river, Melin and fellow soldiers were ordered to get rid of anything floating down the river that could pose a threat to the bridge.

“I don’t know how long we were there, but we had guns and if we saw a stick or anything floating down the river we had to blow it up,” he said. “The bridge was still there when we left.”

From there, Melin went to Germany, which was pretty well defeated by then, he said.

The day the war ended Melin ended up in hospital suffering from diphtheria.

“I ended up with diphtheria in the hospital, so I got cross-posted to the southern Alberta regiment, because I was in hospital for 38 days,” he said, noting he was very lucky he never got wounded during the war. “I never got a scratch,” he said.

Once the war was over, Melin was obviously relieved to go home after being away for three years.

It was tough to get back to a normal life and Melin said he used alcohol to help him through it.

“I believe it did [change me]. When you’re in the war you get sort of a, ‘I don’t give a damn’ attitude and it’s pretty hard to get over it when you get back,” he said.

When asked why he decided to join the army and fight in Europe, Melin said it was for freedom and to stop Hitler.

“Some people say well you join the army to see the world and what have you, but in all the cases as far as I knew were against Hitler and his belief,” said Melin. “[We] wanted to put a stop to it.”

Melin said Remembrance Day is an important occasion to

observe. “I made a solemn vow,” he said. “I remember…

Remembrance Day is to not forget the fact that all these peo-ple lost their lives.”

HOCKEY continued from A5

“It’s tough in a two-day period – there is only so much you can teach. In each session, we’re hoping to do a little bit of skating, get a little edge work in just so they are more comfortable on their skates,” Piper explained.

“Other than that a lot of puck skills, just getting them used to having the puck on their stick and wanting the puck on their stick. Finding creative ways to make them enjoy that. Some of it is stick handling some of it’s shoot-ing. In the end, it is just about getting them out there and moving and having fun.”

The sessions included three age groups of girls. Arena Recreation Programmer for the City of Dawson Creek Megan Pickett explained that it’s great to see a turnout of 80 for girls hockey.

“It’s just a really positive response,” she said. “Because it shows that there are female athletes in our region and that they are interested in coming out and improving on their skills. And im-proving the sport.”

Meanwhile, the Clearview Colts are the central female hockey in the North Peace, and that growth will culminate in March 2015 when they host the Ban-tam A Female Championships in Fort St. John.

Most female players from Fort St. John play their hockey with Clear-view – or with boys’ teams, because there are no all-female teams in Fort St. John.

This was Piper’s second trip to the region, after the Olympic team visit in 2010, when they came to Dawson Creek to train for the Vancouver Games. It was that experience, along with her passion for the game, that has brought her back to the South Peace.

“I’m excited to be back in Dawson Creek,” Piper explained.

“We spent time here training as a na-tional team preparing for 2010. Now to see that girls are aspiring to play hockey – the game means so much to me, so it’s good to see that for a lot of these kids they are going to have similar experi-ences – gain lots of friendships and just have something in their lives that is very productive.”

BYRON HACKETT PHOTOSThe girls who took part in training went through several on-ice and off-ice sessions. Below, Piper shows a young skater a couple of gold-medal techniques.

KALINCZUK from A2

“I try and do at least a course every three months, whether I need it or not,” he said. “It’s just something I do to stay up to speed on things.”

He said his workday sees a variety of duties, from monitoring and report-ing to the Ministry of Environment and Northern Health, to supporting op-erations at the wastewater facility and mentoring the two operators there.

He said he mentors his operators through academic and on-the-job train-ing, with the understanding that he is there in a support role to assist in further-ing their careers.“Just to keep us working together is my main focus,” he said.

Resource management is not the only time Kalinczuk gives to the community. He said he also volunteers his time as an auxiliary officer with the Dawson Creek RCMP, and helps with public access and education through the Watershed Stew-ardship program.

Kalinczuk requested he be present-ed his award here at home in Dawson Creek on Nov. 17, rather than travelling to Burnaby.

He says he wanted not only his family there, but also his co-workers who have supported him during his time with the city.

“Just having the support from every-body here, from management down ... so I may as well take it at home,” he said.

COUNCIL from A7

The biggest disagreements came over water infrastructure, the city’s finances and “mega projects” like the Encana Events Centre multiplex and the arts centre where the debate took place.

The first question was addressed to Gevatkoff, who earlier, along with several other local business owners, pushed a plan to build a water pipeline to the Peace or Murray river to allow for a larger population and water-intensive industries like fracking.

Council shelved the project this sum-mer, after its Sure Water campaign re-vealed most citizens would not support a pipeline if it raised their taxes.

Most candidates supported the Sure Water report’s recommendations to increase capacity of the city’s existing water supply and treatment facilities, though Gevatkoff defended the pipeline idea as a ten-year priority.

“Water to me is one of the highest-priority issues in the city. Without [ad-ditional water access], we can’t attract new business,” he said.

The discussion came back time and again to the growing gap between the city’s income and expenditures, the so-called fiscal gap (also known as a defi-cit.) Going forward, council will be look-ing for ways to close the gap, including by cutting spending.

Mark Rogers, a recently retired con-tractor, said closing the gap was a simple business proposition of cutting services that lose money. He said the current council had “no practical strategies or solutions” for addressing the fiscal gap.

Charlie Parslow disagreed, saying that the city operates many money-losing endeavours as services, and that cutting them was not as easy as people believe.

“The Canadian landscape is littered with people who are elected to slash budgets and then faced a taxpayer’s re-volt,” he said, citing a similar case in Prince George. “People balked, the coun-cil caved in and nothing has been done.”

Housing also came up repeatedly. Candidates talked about how they would improve residential develop-ments, which some say have been marred by secondary suites and room-ing houses for oil and gas workers.

Kevin Zarifeh said some new devel-opments were “gross,” while Johanna Kunz said the combination of duplexes and single family homes in some neigh-bourhoods looks like “mayhem.”

However, Shaely Wilbur pointed out that council created a housing commit-tee earlier this year, recommendations from which are being debated in coun-cil presently.

Justin Pylatuk, who said he has a mental disability, said he would advo-cate for shorter wait times at supportive housing units for “those guys who don’t have a voice for themselves.”

Another attendee asked candidates if they were aware that long-term care pa-tients are living in Dawson Creek Hos-pital, and whether as councillors they would “fight” Northern Health for im-proved services.

The candidates were also asked whether they support curbside recy-cling, and increased efforts to reduce the city’s carbon emissions.

Lovable to the max

Huge robot inspired by ‘a toddler with a full nappy’ is this fall’s blockbuster /B2

In Big Hero 6, cultures don’t clash, they compound. The film is a loose adaptation of a long-defunct Marvel Comics superhero series, but it’s Disney down to its marrow. It takes place in a mashed-up metropolis called San Fran-sokyo – think of a happy Blade Runner – where Telegraph Hill is topped with a seven-story pagoda, and the steep rows of clapboard houses are lined with saku-ra in full blossom.

There are robots and car chases and portals to alternate dimensions and fly-ing sequences that treat skyscrapers like slalom poles. The song is a gearing-up anthem by the Chicago pop-punk band Fall Out Boy. In short, it isn’t Frozen 2.

Team Disney launched Big Hero 6 at the Tokyo International Film Festival last week, where it became clear that one of its characters – the living embodiment of its blend of eastern and western pop cultures – was destined for global star-dom. He’s Baymax, an inflatable robotic nurse, and he’s Disney’s most straight-forwardly adorable character since Rob-in Williams’ Genie in Aladdin.

In the film, Baymax’s inventor is Ta-dashi Hamada, a student who perishes in a suspicious fire at San Fransokyo Tech one night, shortly after his younger brother Hiro is accepted into the faculty.

Heartbroken, Hiro falls into a de-pressive stupor, but Baymax, who’s pro-grammed to make people feel better, draws him back out of his shell.

In reality, Baymax’s inventors are Don Hall and Chris Williams, the co-direc-tors of Big Hero 6.

It was while he was finishing work on Winnie the Pooh in 2011 that Hall suggested to John Lasseter, the director of Toy Story, co-founder of Pixar and, since 2006, Disney’s chief creative of-ficer, that a Disney version of a Marvel superhero story might be fun. Two years previously, Disney had acquired Marvel Entertainment for $4.24 billion, and the deal entailed not only the rights to Iron Man, Thor and the other A-list charac-ters with established fanbases, but also the thousands of others stashed in the Marvel vault.

Lasseter gave Hall the go-ahead to rummage, and he came back with Big Hero 6, a series from the Nineties about a sextet of Tokyo-based super-heroes, led by an X-Men-style mutant called Silver Samurai. In the original book, Baymax was a shape-shifting golem who could morph into a dragon and a robot for battle.

“It was the opposite of fa-mous,” says Hall, a pink-cheeked, floppy-haired Iowan who arrived at Disney in 1995 to work on Tarzan.

“I’d never heard of it, and I was a big comic-book nerd. I liked the title – I thought it sounded cool – and a Japanese superhero team, well, that’s cool too. Then I read the com-ics, and the tone was light, and I thought OK, we can do some-thing with this.”

From that, Hall extrapolated the story of a 14-year-old ge-nius who loses his brother and is then restored back to emo-tional health by his brother’s in-vention. Fresh as he may look, Baymax falls into the Disney tradition of elder-sibling sur-rogates: Pumbaa and Timon, Thumper, Baloo, Timothy Q. Mouse, Jiminy Cricket.

The existing version of the character, a giant marauding dragon/mecha, didn’t seem quite right for the task, so Hall and Williams redesigned him from the ground up. (Marvel took a hands-off approach to the property’s Disneyfication, but two executives, Joe Que-sada and Jeph Loeb, sat in on work-in-progress screenings.)

“Our mandate was to do something nobody had ever seen before, and I was hooked right off the bat,” Hall said. “ I just thought, ‘We’ve found a hug-gable robot.’ Everything about Baymax’s character, personality and design stemmed from that.”

Encouraged by Lasseter, Hall and Williams then flew to Ja-pan to look for further clues to

Baymax’s personality. “We’ve both been inspired by Japanese animation since we were very young,” says Williams, a lean Missourian with a goatee and ruffled hair who joined Disney as an intern in 1994.

“During our search, we noticed that the more realistic a robot looks, the creepier it looks,” adds Hall, “so that fed into the thinking that Baymax had to be simple.”

During a visit to a Shinto shrine, Hall noticed that the copper suzu bell above the altar seemed to be smiling at him – “it had such a peaceful, pleasant ex-pression,” he says – and he realised he had found Baymax’s face. To find his walk, the directors and their animators looked for cute movements in nature: after consulting much source footage, they decided on a toddler with a full nappy was the cutest.

In fact, the film’s Japanese publicity campaign sidelines the heroism entire-ly, and focuses on the relationship be-tween boy and ‘bot. (Despite the title’s syntactic tumble, ‘Big Hero 6’ isn’t a translation: in Japan, the film is simply called Baymax.)

At a festival seminar in Tokyo’s Ex Theatre the day after the Big Hero 6 pre-miere, Lasseter, dressed in an orange and cream Hawaiian shirt patterned

with Baymax’s face, dissected a key bus-stop scene shot by shot, calling it “one of the most amazing sequences ever put on film in history”.

“It’s the opposite of Hollywood film-making, where the attitude is always ‘I’m going for popcorn, you’re bor-ing me’,” he said. “Miyazaki celebrates the quiet moments in films. In this se-quence, there’s nothing happening, but the beautiful, prolonged moments it de-picts are so special.”

Accordingly, Big Hero 6 contains similar, though briefer, passages of calm. After Hiro builds Baymax rocket boots, and the pair go flying through the streets of San Fransokyo, they soar up above the clouds and sit on top of a hot-air balloon, watching the sun set and twisting their feet in the breeze.

“John. That was John Lasseter,” says Hall, as soon as the words “Whose idea was it for the feet….” leave my mouth.

“The sequence was already animated with Hiro twisting his feet, and it was beautiful, and then John looked at it and said, ‘Do you know what would be really cute?

Items #43: The Pen and Note padTOOLBOX

The Pen and Note padThere’s nothing like kicking it old

school. Where ever Jonny goes he takes a notebook and a pen,

just in case.

The batteries will never run out and there is never a technical

glitch, plus they’re easy to throw in a bag and forget

about until you need them. This is why these essentials

are tools are never far from a reporter’s reach.

If you want to learn more about what ink makes it onto the

page, give Jonny a call at250-782-4888 ext. 119or shoot him an email at

[email protected]. Who knows, he might even give you a peek

between the pages...

does she have to offer me in 2014? I am a 20-something girlchild who likes to think she wouldn’t resort to calling someone mean in a song if the chance arose. But I must put all preconceived notions aside and get into the zone.

“This is the fi rst Taylor Swift album I’ve listened to in its en-tirety,” I mutter.

“And it won’t be your last,” replied Colin Kerrigan, a col-league.

Here goes nothing.Listen along for yourself, the

entire album’s been streaming since last weekend.

“Welcome to New York:” I could get into these synths, but the blatant push of New York tourism (like that city needs any more of it) makes me won-der the song’s intentions.

“Blank Space:” “Got a lone-ly Starbucks lover,” is a lyric I swore I heard. Alas, turns out diction isn’t one of Swift’s strong suits and the true line in question reads “Got a long list of ex-lovers.”

“Style:” The fi rst 20 seconds of this track might be my favor-ite on the album. The shallow — possibly skewed? — vision of Swift’s own self (“Red lip clas-sic thing that you like”) can al-most be ignored by the time the

bridge rolls around. I can’t help but want to yelp “Just take me out!”

“Out of the Woods:” Despite Jack Antonoff’s magic touch, I get lost in the weird descrip-tion of the nightmareish regur-gitation of Swift and ex Harry Styles’ snowmobile accident.

“All You Had To Do Was Stay:” Generic girl longing. Yawn. Random high note on the word “stay.”

“Shake It Off:” The album’s fi rst single and likely the worst song on the record. I’ll make the pun for you: I’m gonna hate, hate, hate, hate, hate.

“I Wish You Would:” This is the point on almost every al-bum where I start to get lost. It’s tough to keep my attention seven tracks into any collection

Taylor Swift’s ‘1989,’ track by track

Disclaimer: It should be said that I am not a fan of Tay-lor Swift’s and I never have been. However, I am a fan of music (which can be said about most people, I assume) and, therefore, I have used as

much of an objective stance as possible.

Without further ado, here is the initial track-by-track reac-tion to Taylor Swift’s fi fth re-lease, 1989, which came out last Monday.

Before I start: Deep breaths. I can’t believe I’m about to do this. Taylor Swift? Really? What

of tunes and this one falls vic-tim to the same curse. “We’re a crooked love in a straight line down.” What does this even mean?

“Bad Blood:” Sort of gives me a new-wave Tegan and Sara vibe. “Band-Aids don’t fi x bullet holes,” she whimpers. And like that, T. Swift is a doctor.

“Wildest Dreams:” Lana del Rey inspired, for sure. Swift tries to do dreamy and alluring. Almost there. Almost.

“How You Get The Girl:” An-other pop-yawner. Possibly a frivolous addition just so the tracklist could get to the star’s coveted track-count of 13.

“This Love:” Stripped down, lauded by Haim, pulls at my heartstrings as much as I hate to admit it. So lovely.

“I Know Places:” Single po-tential. Probably because it’s boring but catchy as heck.

“Clean:” An impressive col-lab with Imogen Heap, still featuring some lackluster one-liners: “You’re still all over me like a wine-stained dress I can’t wear anymore.” And who is this 10-month-sober bad boy she’s referencing? I can’t keep up anymore.

Takeaways: Test-tube pop from a chick going through a musical identity crisis. The lyri-cal edge she may have had in her country days clearly have gone to the wayside when opt-ing for countless repetitions of whatever points she’s trying to make.

1989 is a clear example of manufactured pop, designed to appeal to adolescent girls — the ones who beg their parents to buy them tickets to massive stadium tours. This might’ve been Swift’s plan given the sud-den foray into the genre and desperate pleading to label big-wigs allow her to make the change. But given that’s its pur-pose, it succeeds stunningly.

William Buddy (Bud) Melin was born near Veteran, Alberta on November 13, 1923. He passed awayOctober 25, 2014 at the age of 90.Bud worked on farms and in sawmills, and played hockey and baseball until he joined the army in 1943. His desire was to become a professional baseball or hockey player, but those dreams faded after 3

years in the army. In 1946, Bud went to work for the Alberta Department of Highways, before joining his dad and brothers in the lumber business at

Slave Lake. He moved to Dawson Creek in 1957 to work at the air base and became Secretary Manager of the Royal Canadian Legion.

Bud retired 24 years later, but remained active in the Legion and Veterans Affairs. Bud was an ardent curler and loved a good old sing song; his favourite tune was Blue Bells.Bud was predeceased by his loving wife Ruth, parents Victor and Leta Melin, brothers Frank, Donald, Philip, and Ralph, sister Joyce, and grandson Michael LaPointe. Bud will be remembered by his children Verona Lea (Glenn) Flanders, Lura Mae (Dennis) LaPointe, and Lorne Melin, grandchildren Bret (Jessica) Flanders, Jennifer (Mike) Van der Hoek, and Jeffrey LaPointe, and great grandchildren McKenzie, Madison, and Jordon; Ruth’s family, Heather Woodwark (Wayne Kostiuk), Randy Miller (Judy McAuliffe), Rob (Lynda) Miller, Janet (Shane) Loiselle, their children, Stephanie (Jared) Giesbrecht,Jill Woodwark, Scott Miller, Jason (Julia) Miller, Alissa Miller, Meagan (Sam) French, Jenni Miller, Jay Miller, Kassi and Kodi Loiselle, and great grandchild, Spencer French, along with numerous nieces, nephews, and friends.A Celebration of Life service will be held Saturday, November 8, 2014 at 2:00pm at Bergeron’s Funeral Chapel, Dawson Creek, British Columbia.Expressions of sympathy in memory of Bud may be made by way of donation to the charity of your choice.Arrangements were entrusted to Bergeron Funeral Services & Crematorium Ltd.
