Ta ke A P aws How to choose a puppy

Rivers Animal Hospital

SCORING

Three or more A’s This pup is dominant and shows aggressive tendencies. This is not a good pup for first-time owners, for families with young children or someone with a passive personality. This pup needs an adult household, with non-physical but firm training methods. This dog might be a good pet or working dog for an experienced knowledgeable owner.

Three or more B’s (or a combination of A’s and B’s): This pup will tend to be outgoing and dominant. He is not good for first-time owners or for families with young children, although older kids would probably be OK. Three or more C’s: T his dog will adapt to most households and should be suitable for families with children, older people or first-time owners.

This dog should take well to training.

Three or more D’s: This submissive dog will need kind and gentle handling, but could be a good companion for a senior citizen or quiet adult.

This dog needs to be protected from rough handling.

Three or more E’s (or a combination of D’s and E’s) This dog may be antisocial or shy. If this pup has an A in its rating, it may bite when faced with stressful situations. This is not a good dog for children or inexperienced dog owners.

Hopefully this test will help you in successfully finding a puppy that is suitable for your family.

There have been many pets surrendered to the SPCA due to the fact that it wasn’t suitable for the environment in which it came from. To avoid this problem, it is very important to go through steps of picking out a puppy, and realizing that this responsibility is long term.

Puppy’s or adult dogs can bring much joy into your family lives, so good luck in picking our next family member!

David Keane, the President of the B.C. LNG Alliance, believes that liquefied natural gas opportunities will “constitute the largest investment ever seen in this province.”

Keane was a featured speaker at the Northeast B.C. Resource Municipalities Coalition meeting in Fort St. John last week.

Liquified natural gas is a method of cooling down natural gas to easily compressed liquid form to carry it over long distances. Many of Keane’s business partners in the Alliance are hoping to create projects like these, but some analysts have cast doubts on all of these projects going through.

Keane, however, remained optimistic.

“I have seven members, so I’ll say seven (projects will realistically

go through).”

Even though this may happen, there are still some questions that Keane’s group wants answered. One of them is the regulatory environment in B.C. “In terms of the fiscal structure, we need more clarity and certainty around the LNG tax,” he said. “We know what the tax rate is, but we don’t know what’s included in the tax – what’s deductible, what’s not, etc. “ Other factors that would need to be addressed would include, with provincial help, how many people to train in what areas, he added.

“We need to strike the right balance, to receive fair value for the sale of natural resources, while recognizing enormous technical and financial challenges of projects,” he said. “B.C. will be a supplier to many of the large, not only Asian countries, but European countries…

(LNG buyers) • Employment Assistance Services will want to di• Trades & Apprenticeship versify their risk, • Training Assistance and I think BritProviding Holistic Training Services ish Columbians for the Aboriginal Peoples of NEBC will have a significant portion of Main Office: 785-0887 that supply base.”

Should we be attempting to colonize Mars?

If space is the final frontier, then Mars is the first step. Rich in potential fuels, relatively close and with gravity comparable to Earth’s, Mars is the ideal first venture out into the wide expanse of space.

There’s a diplomatic allure to this dream of living on Mars. Imagine the first child born, not a citizen of Earth, but a Martian. Geographic lines that are so useful yet so limiting on our home planet suddenly have to be reimagined.

Some are afraid of that first step. Even NASA refuses to consider a mission to Mars that does not have an exit strategy for the first explorers to inhabit the red planet.

This stands in stark contrast with the first European settlers who not only braved the weeks-long sailing expedition, they did it knowing full well that they would probably never see any of their old life or home again. For all of their faults, that pioneer spirit sparked an age of ingenuity and exploration that lasted for many years.

Curiosity about the world – and galaxy – we live in sparks these acts of heroism that weave together to become part of the great narrative of humanity.

The colonization of Mars would unite and excite humanity, in the same way the first Earth orbit did, or the first Moon landing. But unlike those events, this would be the single greatest achievement of human kind to date, both in its consequences and its challenge.​

Digging out of Canada's mining dilemma

It sometimes seems people in the mining and fossil fuel industries — along with their government promoters — don’t believe in the future.

What else could explain the mad rush to extract and use up the Earth’s resources as quickly and wastefully as possible?

Global mining production, including fossil fuels, has almost doubled since 1984, from just over nine-billion tonnes to almost 17-billion in 2012, with the greatest increases over the past 10 years.

It’s partly to meet rising demand from expanding human populations and supply the cycle of consumerism that fuels the global economy through planned obsolescence, marketing unnecessary prod-

ucts and wasteful technologies. And, as the British Geological Survey notes, “It may be uncomfortable to acknowledge, but wars have been the drivers for many of mankind’s technological developments. Such technologies depend on secure supplies of numerous mineral commodities for which demand inevitably escalates in times of war.”

Mining is important to human well-being, but the current economic system means it’s often aimed at maximizing profit with little regard for people or the environment. It’s one area where Canadians can make a difference. Canada is a global leader in mining, especially in Latin America.

According to the Mining Association of Canada, “Almost 60% of the world’s public mining companies are listed on the TSX and TSXVenture Exchanges, and 70% of the equity capital raised globally for mining companies is raised on these exchanges.”

The association adds, “Canadian-headquartered mining companies accounted for nearly 37% of budgeted worldwide exploration expenditures in 2012.” Canada has

Mike Carter

At some point, scientists say the Sun is going to progress into its final stage of life “the red giant stage” and expand to about 100 times its current size, making life on Earth uninhabitable.

Scientists are so fond of the idea, they’ve taken the opportunity to preemptively come up with a solution – let’s all go to Mars.

It’s a terrible idea. Have another puff, Professor Frink.

Sure, Earth is closer to the sun and an escape to Mars would save us all from burning to death. But are you willing to give up that easily? If we can transform an entire planet to become inhabitable by humans, surely to goodness we can harness that awesome technological prowess into somehow making Earth a permanent home, even when the Sun is 100 times bigger and therefore, much closer.

I am kind of fond of this planet. Unlike Mars, it has an atmosphere – for now, and temperatures that generally hover above the average of -55 C. Plus, coming from a planet with such beauty to behold as the Rocky Mountains and the maritime ocean views on both coasts – not to mention the vast and varied land in between – the landscape on Mars is pretty boring.

Living in the north we are all pretty familiar with cabin fever, that horrible feeling you get from being cloistered up indoors when it’s freezing cold outside.

Now imagine that PERMANENTLY. Personally, I’d rather be fried like the Colonel’s chicken than live a boring life on the red planet. I’ll give the afterlife a shot.

also tied foreign aid to support for mining interests.

Canadian mining companies haven’t always had a great record for environmental and social responsibility in communities where they operate — but public scrutiny and pressure may be helping to change that. In the face of criticism, industry leaders insist practices are improving.

“The Canadian mining industry, and certainly what our members are doing now, is much, much different now than what it was 20, 25 years ago,” Canadian Mining Association president and CEO Pierre Gratton told Global News in response to a critical Council on Hemispheric Affairs article.

According to the June 2014 article, “Large-scale Canadian mining companies, and the Canadian government that oversees such commercial ventures, have failed to adhere to reliable standards of international law, which assert that home states are responsible for the actions of their citizens abroad.” The article points to evidence that Canadian mining corporations have often operated with little regard for nature reserves and protected

areas, and have depleted scarce water supplies, neglected indigenous rights and disrupted communities and created health problems through air, water and land pollution.

“Each year, a number of protestors who raise concerns against mining activities are seriously injured, persecuted, or even killed.”

That appears to be the case at a gold- and silver-mining operation in Guatemala run by a subsidiary of Canada’s Goldcorp. According to the Guardian, it’s drawn numerous local complaints for “intimidation, threats, social division, violence, bribery and corruption of local authorities, destruction and contamination of water sources, livestock dying, houses shaking, cracked walls, the criminalization of protest, forest cleared, and appalling health impacts such as malnutrition and skin diseases.” An indigenous man who spoke against the mine was beaten and burned alive by hooded men who first questioned him about anti-mining activities. Goldcorp has denied the allegations.

In the past, Canadian companies haven’t been held responsible for actions of for-

eign subsidiaries — but that may change. A number of people from Eritrea and Guatemala are suing three Canadian mining companies in Canadian courts for alleged abuses at mines in those countries, which include forced labour, human rights violations and assault. The Financial Post said lawyers are getting around the “corporate veil” by “suing the Canadian parents for negligence and other traditional torts on the grounds that management hasn’t lived up to the standards outlined in their public pronouncements.” In other words, the companies are being held globally to the standards they publicly claim at home.

Mining is important but, as with much human activity in the face of rapidly growing populations, we must learn to develop and use resources in ways that aren’t wasteful, destructive and unsustainable.

And mining companies must be held to high standards for environmental and human rights protection — at home and abroad.

Taylor clinic busier than ever

William Stodalka Staff Writer

Since the Taylor Medical Clinic reopened, it has had more patient visits on a monthly basis than when it first originally opened, according to information presented to Taylor council.

Data showed that since it reopened last June, it has had 172 patient visits a month on average. Previously, those numbers ranged from 100 to 113 visits per month.

The clinic originally opened in 2009, but in February 2014, the District learned that it could not continue to provide doctors to Taylor because many of them had left. The clinic was forced to close last March.

But in June, it was re-opened, operating under a different model. This time, it was done with LiveCare, with doctors who re-

side elsewhere examining patients via special cameras. (One doctor has since come to the clinic, where she works full time.)

Since then, it has seen about 880 patients, with about 1,204 patient visits.

From 2010 to 2013, the patient counts for operations ranged from about 1,200 to 1,500 per year.

According to staff, patients feedback was “unanimously positive.”

Still, not everyone feels same way.

“The convenience and accessibility of services such as Medeo is a double-edged sword and it’s growth will likely hasten the demise of local health services in rural communities in much the same way that shopping over the border decimates local businesses,” wrote Fort St. John Dr. Paul Mackey in a letter last August.

CHARLIE LAKE CONSERVATION SOCIETY BI-WEEKLY POINT OF INTEREST

A Fearless Family Outing After nibbling on all those sugary goodies, the entire family needs an outdoor escape and what a better place to burn off a little energy and extra calories than in the Peace region.

Sounds like a great family plan but you’re left wondering about the safest and best area to go to. If we head to Charlie Lake, will the ice be thick enough for skating or sledding on? How safe are other rivers and lakes in the Peace region and what thickness of ice is recommended for safety?

Now to keep everyone housebound, you can stay on the couch and throw in a little fear into the family by retelling the Inuit story about the Qallupilluit. The popular story describes the imaginary Qallupilluit as grotesque, troll like creatures wearing parkas made of loon feathers that live in the ice on Hudson’s Bay. With the speed of lightning, the Qallupilluit grab innocent children, who come near the open shore or stand too close to cracks in the ice, dragging them to the bottom of the ocean never to be seen again.

Of course the whole story was created to keep the Inuit children away from the ice but that doesn’t mean that your family has to miss out. Charlie Lake is a safe lake and whether you’re planning on doing a little skating, jam pail curling, hiking, ice fishing, skiing or snowmobiling, everyone will enjoy the outdoor activities and feel better for having participated.

A post season sale is a great time to pick up an ice auger and then you can drill a test hole to discover the colour and the thickness of the ice. As a rule of thumb, the ice should be bluish white – not gray – and STAY OFF the ice surface if it is less than 4” thick.

If the ice surface is more than 4” (10cm) thick, it’s safe for walking, skating, ice-fishing or curling on. Add another inch (5” or 12cm) and you can snowmobile or ride your ATV on it. Do not drive your vehicle on the lake unless the ice is more than 12” (30cm) thick and even if the ice is thick enough to support your vehicle, drive slowly as driving too fast can create waves beneath the ice surfaces and cause dangerous cracks to occur like a underwater tsunami.

Lakes in general are safer to play on than rivers as rivers vary in depth and have underwater currents or springs. Rocks and logs often absorb the warm sunlight and as a result, the surrounding surface is thinner or has air pockets.

So, take the time this holiday season to gather the family around a bonfire to toast marshmallows and listen to the Qallupilluit moaning below the ice’s surface - knowing that you’re perfectly safe and out of the Qallupilluit’s arms way!

Huskies get two crucial wins

Fort St. John Huskies goalie Travis Mclean makes one of his 36 saves on Friday night in a 4-2 to win over the County of Grande Prairie JDA Kings at the North Peace Arena.

Byron Hackett staff writer It’s long been said that more than winning hockey games, getting hot at the right time is the crucial way to define a successful hockey team.

With three wins in three games to start the new year, the Fort St. John Huskies have done exactly that.

The Huskies disposed of the second place County of Grande Prairie JDA Kings in a dominating 4-2 home ice performance on Friday, before heading to Beaverlodge and putting forth its best offensive game of the year with a 12-4 win Saturday.

Head coach Gary Alexander said finally being able to dress a full lineup of pure junior hockey players, along with a full 60-minute effort made the difference for his team on Friday.

“We finally had a full compliment of players which helps a whole bunch,” he said. “We put 60 minutes of hockey in tonight and that’s a big difference from about 20-25.”

On Friday, before one of the rowdiest home crowds of the 2014-2015

season, thanks to some boisterous minor hockey youths, the Huskies came out firing on all cylinders and got off to a 1-0 lead just three minutes in with a Joshua Robinson goal.

League leading goal scorer Corey Wamsteeker evened the score with just 30 seconds remaining in the first period for the Kings.

The furious pace of the first period seemed to settle in the second, before the Huskies leader in points Cayle Bell, put the home side ahead with his 16th goal of the season.

Robinson would score his second of the night and the eventual game winner just two minutes later to seal the victory for the Huskies.

The Kings did add a tally midway through the third to close the gap, but Jerome Throne put the nail in the coffin as time expired to finish the evening with a 4-2 win.

The third period belonged to Huskies veteran Goalie Travis Mclean, who made 36 saves in the win was

called “very determined” by his head coach after the game.

“He is just real focused. He was seeing pucks really well and he was holding them in, no rebounds. Played an awesome game, looks good on him to beat [one of] the top teams,” Alexander said.

Mclean said despite turning away 28 shots in the final 40 minutes, the win was all about his teammates playing the way the coaching staff asked.

“Everybody stuck to the game plan,” Mclean said.

“Todd [Alexander] did a good job this week getting us ready for tonight’s game. It was a big game for us … It’s a big one getting ready for playoffs and everybody just stuck to the game plan, the boys played really well tonight.”

The win on Friday also meant the Huskies had topped every team in the league so far this season, and Mclean believes that will be a positive going forward for his club.

“It’s huge,” Mclean said of Fri-

day’s win. “It means we can beat any team in the league, on any given night no matter what the standings say or what we’re doing … any team can win on any given night.”

The Huskies were able to ride that momentum into Beaverlodge Saturday night when they took on the Blades, and after falling behind 2-0 in the opening frame, Fort St. John finished the first period leading 4-3.

It was all downhill from there for the Blades, as the Huskies outscored them 8-1 in the final two periods to secure the 12-4 win.

Leading the way for the Huskies was Thomas Webster who had five assists on the night and was playing in his first game since Dec. 17.

Thorne continued his hot streak with two goals and two assists, that’s now five goals and eight points in his last three.

The Huskies defensive rock, John Apsassin had four assists to extend his point total to 16 on the season.

Shawn Wilson, Ricky Bateman and Robinson each had three point nights.

Newcomer Matthew Deveau, Cayle Bell and Davis Rose added two goals a piece to round out the scoring for the Huskies.

With the trade deadline last Saturday, the Huskies have also solidified the roster adding two defenseman (Jared Barilla and Matthew Deaveau) along with Austin Braid up front, who played with Cayle Bell and Jordan Harder on Friday night.

Each new addition has contributed a point in the Huskies' last two games.

If the Huskies hope to hop over the Dawson Creek Junior Canucks and snag home ice advantage in the playoffs, they will have to do it on the road with three of its five final games coming away from the North Peace Arena.

Next up for the Huskies is a tilt with the North Peace Navigators on Jan. 24 before returning home on Jan. 30 to take on the Beaverlodge Blades.

Hello reader, This month Coys's and Buerge's are in the spotlight, here is what they said.

“My goals in 4-H are to get well acquainted with the members and the project, to learn all about the cattle industry, and to teach my calf what she has to learn. With my calf I want to accomplish successful halter breaking communication through body language and overall, a healthy calf. I think this project will be a great experience for learning and accomplishing these things. There is real life experience and the answers to many of my questions in this project”. ~ Daniela Buerge “Because this is my first year in 4-H, everything is still pretty new to me.

Showing animals has always interested me, and now I'm thrilled to have this opportunity to learn showmanship.

The art of grooming cattle has also sparked my interest, so learning more about that is definately going to be a highlight for me.

My steer project is already beefing up and showing great potential, which encourages me to be faithful in working with him.” ~ Danielle Coy “This year I am doing a heifer project and a steer project. I hope to have a big,muscular, gentle steer. This is my second year in 4-H so I hope to become a better groomer, showman,and judge. My heifer has a nervous disposition, I am working with her and am hopping that she will be calm and lead very well at the Achievement Days.” ~ Carrisa Coy As you can see we are busy working with our projects.

On December 23rd we had our ski-trip at Whispering Pines Ski Hill in Worsely. Benjamin McCord had his birthday on that day and the ski hill had made him a birthday cake that we enjoyed together besides having good pizza for lunch. The day was a blast!

The den just inside the Hood River's front door is in an ideal location for a home office. A few steps further through the foyer is a set of stairs that lead you down to the daylight basement. At the bottom of the stairs, you find yourself in a large family room, where natural light streams in through wide windows at the rear, and sliding glass doors open onto a covered patio. Two bedrooms and a bathroom are down the hall.

Bold stone-veneer columns draw eyes to the Hood River's lofty entry.

Built on a down slope to the rear, this home is really much larger than it looks, thanks to a large daylight basement.

Its low-pitched hipped roof and widely overhanging eaves clearly mark it as a Prairie-style home. Frank Lloyd Wright originated the style in Chicago in the early 1900s.

High ceilings overarch the living spaces, from the entry right through the center to the rear. Entry and foyer ceilings are 13 feet high, while the vaulted ceiling in the expansive great room soars to even greater heights. Stacked windows, angling up to a low-pitched central peak, fill most of the rear wall.

Flames in the gas fireplace on the right can be enjoyed at a moment's notice.

Only a drop in ceiling height indicates the transition between the great room and the kitchen and dining area. A curved work island/eating bar anchors the kitchen's center. Counters, cabinets and appliances span walls on two sides.

Sliding glass doors open onto a covered deck.

All-Time Top Driver’s Bio

This Week’s Racing News

This year, NASCAR will use 45 remote HD cameras to record every pit stop and automatically check for rules violations such as the pit crew entering the pit stall too early, equipment leaving the pit stall and drivers pitting outside their stalls. “It records everything in the pit stalls,” said Shawn Rogers, NASCAR managing director of planning and business operations. The cameras will feed into a trailer in the TV compound at each track, where eight NASCAR officials will sit at workstations with two computer screens each, and double-check the penalties. Rogers added the video clips will be sent randomly to the officials “to avoid favoritism” and “won’t have the same drivers throughout the race.” The data will be forwarded to the control tower where penalties will be determined by the race director. If a violation is found, it will be radioed up to NASCAR race control in the timing and scoring area. Race officials will then enforce the penalty per NASCAR’s rule book.

Racing History

In what place did Jeff Gordon finish in his first Cup Series race? a) 9th b) 15th

c) 27th d) 31st

Born: Aug. 4, 1971 Cup wins: 92 Cup top-tens: 454 Cup championships: 4 Jeff Gordon was five years old when he first performed laps on a makeshift racetrack. After his childhood and teen years, Gordon moved on to NASCAR and won Rookie of the Year in 1991. The next year he signed with Hendrick Motorsports and has gained 88 wins during his career, third on the all-time Cup wins list and the most wins in NASCAR’s modern era (1972–present). Gordon’s 74 pole positions lead all active drivers, and is third all-time. He has won at least one pole in 21 consecutive seasons, a NASCAR record. He is also the active iron man leader for consecutive races participated in with 725 as of the 2013 Ford EcoBoost 400. In 2009, Gordon became the first NASCAR driver to reach $100 million in career winnings. Gordon, along with Rick Hendrick, co-own the No. 48 Chevrolet driven by Jimmie Johnson, who won six Cup championships from 2006 to 2010, and 2013.

Answer : d) Gordon finished 31st in the 1992 Hooters 500. It was the first Cup Series race of his career and Richard Petty’s last.

January 21, 1973 - Penske driving ace Mark Donohue took a surprising victory in the season opening 500 miler at Riverside. Donohue’s first career Cup win came in only his 5th start, driving a Matador. That race was Penske’s first NASCAR win in a long history of NASCAR participation and remains to this day, the last non-regular (non-full schedule) driver to win a NASCAR Cup Series road race.

Lessons from the Golf Pro “When it’s breezy swing easy.” How many golfers have heard this old saying when it’s windy outside? Let’s get into just a little bit more detail about this. What will swinging easy do for you when the wind is up? For one thing, it increases the chances of solid contact creating a more penetrating ball flight. For another thing, it compresses the ball less causing it to spin less, which also creates a more penetrating ball flight. Notice the theme. A solidly struck ball with a more penetrating trajectory is less affected by the wind. Swinging harder when the wind is blowing is a powerful instinct to overcome. But if you can discipline yourself to use more club and swing easier it will have a wonderful effect on your ability to control the ball in the wind.
