help him remove the item safely without causing more damage,” Bentley said. The hospital had an adult-sized scope for such purposes, but needed one for pediatrics. Another big-ticket item the foundation purchased with the funds last year was a gastroscope, for use on adults. The hospital did have one, but the camera would only give the surgeon a straight-ahead view. The new gastroscope gives a 360-degree view. “It’s used for multiple things, like ulcers in your stomach, looking for things like that,” said Bentley. The foundation hasn’t determined what equipment the funds raised during this year’s campaign will go towards. They’re waiting to learn what equipment is most needed, information that will come from Northern Health. This year’s fundraiser includes a formal dinner gala, a three-day radiothon, and the sale of paper ornaments to be hung on a 15-foot Christmas tree in the hospital lobby. Tickets for the gala, are nearly sold out. It will take place at the end of the month. The radiothon, called Light-A-Moose, will take place from Nov. 18 to 20 in the Unforgettable Memories park• Employment Assistance Services ing lot. • Trades & Apprenticeship To hang a paper ornament on the hospital tree, dona• Training Assistance tions can be made at the Hospital Foundation location, at Providing Holistic Training Services 8407 – 112th Avenue, or at any financial institution in Fort for the Aboriginal Peoples of NEBC St. John.

FORT ST. JOHN — The Fort St. John Hospital Foundation’s 18th annual Be An Angel Campaign has taken flight to raise funds for medical equipment at the Fort St. John Hospital. The campaign, which began Nov. 1 and runs to the end of the month, is the foundation’s biggest fundraiser of the year. Last year, it raised $325,000, which was $75,000 more than their target of $250,000. “Absolutely amazing,” said Ashley Bentley, executive director of the Hospital Foundation. Those funds purchased 30 different pieces of hospital equipment throughout the year, including a $30,000 pediatric scope, useful for locating and safely removing dangerous objects from a child’s body. “When a child in our community swallows something sharp, either a pin or a toy maybe that has a sharp edge, the surgeon would use the scope to

damage. There is a multitude of bandages on the market. Although there is no perfect bandage, here are some tips to help you find the one that is best suited for your needs: • The bandage must be large enough so that the adhesive does not touch the wound. • It must adhere to the healthy skin that surrounds the wound and remain in place for a few days. Every time a bandage is removed, the healing process is impaired. • It must prevent bacteria, dirt and water from reaching the wound. • It must absorb fluids weeping from the wound without drying it out. Your pharmacist can help you choose the bandage that best suits your needs. 4. Medical consultation You should see a doctor for any of the following types of wounds (you may need a tetanus shot if you are not up to date. Tetanus vaccinations are good for 10 years). • Human or animal bites. • Serious or complicated wounds (deep cuts, open wounds, “crush” wounds, or wounds that will not stop bleeding). • Puncture wounds made by a pointed object (e.g., nail, screw, etc.). • Very painful wounds. • Wounds made by dirty or contaminated objects or that remain dirty or clogged with debris even after having been carefully washed with water. • Signs of infection (inflammation, redness. heat, pain, pus, fever). For more information on first aid and firstaid kits, speak to your pharmacist. They are there to help you and your family.

Use a bandage to cover cuts, scrapes, and superficial skin injuries to improve healing conditions and help prevent infection. Keep your first-aid kit stocked with a selection of bandages to cover different wound sizes. TREATMENT 1. Bleeding If you are bleeding from a wound in one of your extremities (hands or feet), raise the wound above heart level, and, using a clean cloth, apply direct pressure to the wound. If the wound is elsewhere on the body, consider lying down as you continue to apply pressure. If the bleeding does not significantly diminish within 5 minutes, seek medical attention. 2. Cleaning Once the bleeding has subsided, clean the wound in order to eliminate bacteria and debris: • Wash your hands thoroughly. • Gently rinse the wound with cold running water. • Wash the area around the wound with mild soap. Try not to touch the wound itself with the soap. If dirt sticks to the wound, gently remove with tweezers that have been sterilized with alcohol or with clean gauze. • Avoid the repeated use of antiseptics such as hydrogen peroxide, rubbing alcohol or iodine tincture. These products can damage the cells that are regenerating and are not beneficial. 3. Bandages The purpose of applying a bandage is to keep the wound moist, accelerate healing, absorb any discharge, and increase comfort. Change the bandage if it gets dirty or wet. Before applying a new bandage, gently wash off any blood or dried secretions with water. If the bandage is stuck to the wound, run water over the bandage to help dislodge it without causing it to bleed or to prevent further

New schools take top priority in SD60 capital plan
Staff Writer
FORT ST. JOHN — Replacing École Central Elementary and building a new school in the northeast of town top the list of School District 60’s capital plan submission to the Ministry of Education. During its meeting on Nov. 2, the school board prioritized the top 12 projects in need of funding. The submission was mailed to the ministry this week, according to Leah Reimer, executive assistant to secretary-treasurer Doug Boyd. École Central was built in 1945, and although it’s been expanded and kept in good order, a replacement school is long overdue, Reimer said. Every year, the school board submits a capital plan, and Central School has been on
the list for 20 years, Reimer said, adding that the district’s maintenance department has done a good job of maintaining the school, but “at some point it’s just old.” Replacing Charlie Lake Elementary ranks third on the list. It, too, was built in 1945. Fourth on the school district’s wish list is funding for a new middle school in the northwest of town. SD 60 has acquired the land for new elementary and middle schools, but not the funding to build the schools. Mechanical upgrades, the replacement of three school buses, and roof replacements at Hudson’s Hope Elementary-Secondary, École Central and North Peace Secondary are also prioritized on the board’s submission. peacereporter@ahnfsj.ca

Should Christmas items be banned from stores during the month of November?
If we keep all the Christmas stuff out of stores before December, how will people know what season they should be focusing on? They might forget that it’s the time of year to spend a ridiculous amount of money on frivolous items in order to guy the love and affection of their friends and family! We can’t have that, now can we? Besides, isn’t it better to get started on all this Christmas stuff well in advance? Avoiding the mad rush that comes from shopping closer to the big day, despite the fact that bigger sales are to be had the closer we get — paying full price for something means you truly love that person, don’t you know? If anything, we ought to get the Christmas-ing on the go even sooner! The Wishbook comes out in July now, I think, so why not get things really going then? It’s so hot in the summer anyway; thinking about the holiday season will help keep everyone cool! It’s for the betterment of us all.

The many marvels of the mysterious mushroom
Until 1969, biologists thought mushrooms and other fungi were plants. They’re actually more closely related to animals, but with enough differences that they inhabit their own distinct classification. This and more recent findings about these mysterious organisms illustrate how much we have yet to learn about the complexities of the natural world. New research reveals mushrooms can even help plants communicate, share nutrients and defend themselves against disease and pests. There’s far more to mushrooms than the stems and caps that poke above ground. Most of the organism is a mass of thin underground threads called mycelia. These fila-
ments form networks that help plants, including trees, connect to each other, through structures called mycorrhizae. Scientists believe about 90 per cent of land-based plants are involved in this mutually beneficial relationship with fungi. Plants deliver food to the mushroom, created by photosynthesis, and the filaments, in turn, assist the plants to absorb water and minerals and to produce chemicals that help them resist disease and other threats. And, of course, a myriad of other life forms benefit from the healthy plants. The structure and function of the mycelial networks and their ability to facilitate communication between physically separated plants led mycologist Paul Stamets to call them “Earth’s natural Internet.” He’s also noted their similarity to brain cell networks. According to a Discover article, “Brains and mycelia grow new connections, or prune existing ones, in response to environmental stimuli. Both use an array of chemical messengers to transmit signals throughout a cellular web.” Research by Suzanne Simard at the University of
Johnny Wakefield
Yes, ban Christmas items from stores in November. Too soon, I say. A line must be drawn. The B.C. Liquor Store is already stocking those craft beer advent calendars, as well as peppermint schnapps and other liqueurs that mix well with eggnog (as much as anything can be said to mix with eggnog, but I digress). Fliers are going up advertising company Christmas parties (I'm still in the process of forgetting the last one). Ingredients for various toddies are already being procured. I'm sure there are other, non-alcoholic items on display in other stores that give equal offence. For those of us given to excess, the holiday booze burnout is eminent. I say it's incumbent on the state to step in an do something. Save us from ourselves, Prime Minister Trudeau. Establish your anti-free market credentials early on by saying "non" to Christmas party planning in November. Royally piss off the provincial booze arms. Christmas cocktail creep is an issue that ought to be dealt with in the first hundred days, to my mind. The clock is ticking, sir.
British Columbia found that Douglas fir and paper birch trees transfer carbon back and forth through the mycelia, and other research shows they can also transfer nitrogen and phosphorous. Simard believes older, larger trees help younger trees through this process. She found that the smaller trees’ survival often depends on large “mother trees” and that cutting down these tree elders leaves seedlings and smaller trees more vulnerable. Researchers in China found trees attacked by harmful fungi are able to warn other trees through the mycelia networks, and University of Aberdeen biologists found they can also warn other plants of aphid attacks. It all adds to our growing understanding of how interconnected everything on our planet is, and how our actions — such as cutting down large “mother” trees — can have unintended negative consequences that cascade through ecosystems. Scientists are also finding that fungi can be useful to humans beyond providing food and helping us make cheese, bread, beer and wine. Stamets
believes mushrooms can be employed to clean up oil spills, defend against weaponized smallpox, break down toxic chemicals like PCBs and decontaminate areas exposed to radiation. He credits his interest in fungi to another fascinating aspect of many mushrooms around the world: their hallucinogenic properties. During college, Stamets spent a lot of time in the Ohio woods, where he first tried psilocybin mushrooms. They had a profound effect on him, and after his first experience, his persistent stutter went away. He later quit a logging job, because the work was destroying mushroom habitat, and began studying fungi at Evergreen State College in Olympia, Washington. Since then, his research has led to fascinating discoveries of multiple possible purposes for fungi, including nuclear decontamination, water filtration, biofuels, increasing agricultural yields, pest control and medicines. Research is also shedding light on potential benefits of the psychotropic properties of mushrooms, such as the 144
species that contain psilocybin. Indigenous people have long used hallucinogenic mushrooms for ceremonial, spiritual and psychological purposes — and with good reason, it turns out. Psilocybin has been shown to improve the brain’s connectivity. Researchers are finding the chemical can help combat depression, anxiety, fear and other disorders, and increase creativity and openness to new experience. This makes them potentially beneficial for posttraumatic stress, addiction and palliative care treatments. We humans have made a lot of technological and scientific advances, and this sometimes gives us the sense that we’re above or outside of nature, that we can do things better. Sometimes it takes a fascinating lifeform like a mushroom to shake us from our hubris and show us how much we have yet to learn about the world and our place in it.

All Hallow's Eve has passed, and Christmas is coming. During these popular occasions we receive many calls and visits for dogs consuming chocolate. Most people are either not aware of the problem or are over concerned about small amounts of chocolate. We want to clarify the risk and increase awareness of the problems chocolate can create. Chocolate contains theobromine and caffeine which affect the nervous and cardiovascular systems. If enough is ingested, we may see muscle tremors, seizures, heart failure, coma and even death. In short, keep the dog out of the chocolate!!! If your dog eats chocolate, don't panic. It takes a lot of chocolate to see significant problems. Eating a couple of cookies or chocolate chips will merely result in an upset stomach. The toxic dose varies by the dog's size, but 25 grams of milk
chocolate or 5 grams of baking chocolate per pound can be problematic. Example: an average sized Jack Russel Terrier may show symptoms after consuming about a pound of milk chocolate or four ounces of baking chocolate. A larger dog could consume more chocolate without any symptoms. For a little dog, a child's bag of treats could be harmful. If your dog consumes a large amount of chocolate, you can make him vomit by forcing him to consume either salt or hydrogen peroxide. By adding a bit of water to a large amount of salt in the palm of your hand, you can make a "salt ball" and get your dog to swallow it like you would with pills. Open the mouth, toss the salt ball in, and hold the mouth closed until your dog swallows. Do not wait to see if symptoms develop. It is too late to prevent absorption once signs develop. The safest option is to call your veterinarian. Better yet, keep your dog out of the chocolate.

Energy conscious and just plain curious members of the community will have a chance to experience the Fort St. John Passive House on Nov. 14 and 15. Fort St. John is participating in International Passive House Days, when owners of passive homes around the world open their doors to the community to help educate about energy use and conservation. A passive house only requires a small amount of energy to heat and cool. It’s built to be nearly air tight, and gets most of its heating from the sun. The Fort St. John Passive House is the most northern one in North America, and one of just three single-family passive homes in Canada. “The house is not just energy efficient, it is extremely comfortable. There is a very even temperature maintained year round. No drafts and consistent, reliable, cheap heating is a very significant advantage in our cold climate,” said Victor Shopland, general manager of integrated services with the city. The city began the project in 2012, and it was completed last January. In July, it was certified by Passive House Institute US. Construction of the house cost $363 per square foot. According to a city press release, the average home cost in 2014 was between $250 and $350 per square foot, depending on finishing details chosen. There are two caretakers currently living in the home, and so far this fall there have been no utility costs. “In Fort St. John, energy is not just a commodity, it is a responsibility,” said Mayor Lori Ackerman in a written statement. The house, located at 9904 94th Street, will be open to the public between noon until 4 p.m. on both days. peacereporter@ahnfsj.ca

Canada White came together as a collective

Canada White rolled to a 6-2 victory over Russia in the gold medal game of the World Under 17 Hockey Challenge at the Encana Events Centre in Dawson Creek Saturday.
Byron Hackett
O
wen Tippett was elevated to hero status in Dawson Creek on Saturday at the World Under 17 Hockey Challenge. The 16-year-old almost single-handedly propelled Canada White to a 6-2 gold medal win over Russia as the winger put home three goals in the biggest game of his young hockey career. "Owen Tippett tonight— three goals, the guy's a game breaker. He’s ready to go at all times. But he also did some great back checking, tracking and great forechecking,” Canada White Head Coach Scott Walker said after the game. It was the first time Canada had won gold at the event since 2011. “It’s unbelievable. I can’t even explain it really. It’s pretty surreal playing in front of a crowd like that," said assistant captain Jaret Anderson-Dolan, who won a number of key faceoffs for Canada White and had a late second period goal. "They were buzzing all night and everybody feed off it. It was unreal." Tippett scored a minute and a half into the game and got the fans at the Encana Events Centre all worked up, before Russia spoiled the party. They scored twice in the span of six minutes to silence the Canadians. “We were saying in the room just stick to it,” Anderson-Dolan said about the message when his team was trailing 2-1 after 20 minutes. “We had come back in a couple games this tournament and there was never a doubt that we were going to come back. We were all positive in the room and we just stuck to the Canadian way and it ended up good.” Early in the second, the Tippett show began. The Peterborough native scored on the power play 33 seconds into the period. A second Canadian goal from Gabe Vilardi sent Maxim Zhukov fleeing from the Russian net, an extremely surprising move in a 3-2 game considering he was named the top goalie of the tournament following the final.
Arseni Akhmetov, who had not played a minute in the tournament, held his own for a brief moment before Canada broke things open in the third period. That included a bullet of a one-timer from Tippett. "It wasn’t coming [earlier in the tournament] and today was the day I guess,” the humble forward noted about his breakout performance. Matthew Struthers scored the sixth Canada White goal short-handed in the third. Ian Scott manned the net again for Canada White and while few of his 21 saves will make his career highlight reel, steadiness was once again his calling card. “Unbelievable, “Walker said. “So composed, so calm in the net, he’s a lovable guy off the ice. He’s very confident and you could tell that the players believed in him.” What seemed to separate Canada White was the way they were able to come together as a collective when the games became the most important. "They have a high level of talent and skill and all that stuff,” Walker added. “But you know the little things they learned and the little things they were doing at the end of it are what’s going to make them pros. They were blocking shots and getting pucks in deep, cycling. We talk about that all the time, all the great things they can do.“ Although Tippett wasn’t able to collect the few hats that fluttered onto the Encana Events Centre ice after his third goal, he was quick to thank the fans of Dawson Creek for the continued support throughout the tournament. “We couldn’t thank them more,” he said. “They supported us every game and every shift, it was all for them and we wouldn’t have done it without their momentum.” sports@ahnfsj.ca
known to mount a comeback. Fabian Zetterlund had two of the three goals and Erik Brännström added the third for Sweden. Considering both teams had experienced devastating one-goal losses in their semis, neither could have been blamed for a poor performance Saturday. That said, the Swedes clearly felt less pressure after nobody even expected them to play for a medal with such a poor showing in the round robin. “Yes it was,” Lundberg said when asked if his group was always confident they could win a medal. “And we also felt we won that exhibition game versus Canada Black and we knew we could win over here as well but of course it was tough to find a way from those three losses. But I’m really proud of the guys to get back on the track and play like this.” In the Swedish net, Arvid Söderblom outplayed Canada red goalie Michael DiPietro, who will likely be the goalie of the tournament. Söderblom was torched by Canada in the first game of the tournament 4-1 only making 15 saves. “I haven’t played since the first game against Canada Red and to come in and play here was really fun and a [I got] lot of shots. Fun game,” Söderblom said after being named player of the game in a shutout performance where he made 29 saves. Too many penalties cost Canada Red their spot on the podium, which combined with a simple inability to convert on scoring chances in the
final two periods made the difference. “They’re a pretty skilled, fast moving team and I think they caught us off guard at the start but as the game went on we started to adjust,” Canada Red forward Jordan Bellerive added. “Little bounces could have gone either way. We just couldn’t find the ones we were looking for tonight.” sports@ahnfsj.ca
Sweden captures bronze at U17s
Staff Writer
One team looked like they had the weight of the world on their shoulders and the other played like they had nothing to lose. Unfortunately for the hometown crowd, Sweden was the free and easy team on Saturday afternoon in Dawson Creek. They cruised to a 3-0 win over Canada Red to capture the bronze medal at the World Under-17 Hockey Challenge. “They were very driven and from the three losses in the preliminary round, we have done really good from there,” Swedish Head Coach Ulf Lundberg said. We knew what makes it, it’s the hard work and everybody every time, as we say.” Canada Red had gone the opposite of the Swedes, losing two of their final three games, which frustrated head coach Kris Knoblauch, who said with a bounce or two the result could have been much different for his squad. “There had been some mistakes, but for us to play the five periods that we have and not being rewarded with a goal (was) pretty heartbreaking for our guys,” he said. “The effort was there. I think they are disappointed. But there was no quit ever.” The Canadians allowed three goals in a seven minute and 34 second span in the first period, and looked dejected and defeated after falling behind, despite being a team throughout the tournament that had been

Man found dead in worker camp, drugs suspected
Staff Writer
FORT ST. JOHN — A 20-year-old man was found dead at a worker camp north of Fort St. John late last month, Coroners Service officials have confirmed. Coroners Service spokesperson Barb McLintock said the man died in his room on the evening of Oct. 25. The cause of death is not known, though a WorkSafeBC spokesperson said the death appears to be an overdose. "He was found there the next morning by the housekeeping staff, who notified the camp medical staff, who notified 911. He was deceased on the scene," McLintock said. The man, a labourer, was living at the Royal Camp at Mile 109 of the Alaska Highway outside Wonowon. McLintock said the man was an employee of Patch Point Oil Services. The Coroners Service will carry out a number of tests to determine the cause of death, including toxicology. The results of those tests are not expected for at
least three months. The camp is "dry," McLintock said, meaning employees are screened for drugs and alcohol. "Obviously, that's a pretty young age to die, 20. We're doing the necessary tests to find out precisely what the cause of death was," McLintock said. WorkSafeBC has ended its investigation, saying the incident does not appear to be work-related. No stop work or safety orders were issued, WorkSafeBC spokesperson Brett Mineer said. "One of the first things we do is determine whether someone is a worker under the (Workers Compensation) Act, whether their injury or occupational disease or whatever happened to them stems from their duties," he said. "In cases of drug overdoses, you just happen to be in a worker camp but it's not in the course of your duties." Calls to Patch Point were not returned by press time. reporter@dcdn.ca
A powerful duo
- Paul P. Harris Rotary Founder
Save $100 off the iPhone 6 on a 2-year Your Choice plan*
Our 1.2 million-member organization started with the vision of one man— Paul P. Harris. The Chicago attorney formed one of the world’s first service organizations, the Rotary Club of Chicago, on 23 February 1905 as a place where professionals with diverse backgrounds could exchange ideas and form meaningful, lifelong friendships. Rotary’s name came from the group’s early practice of rotating meetings among the offices of each member. Rotarians have not only been present for major events in history—we’ve been a part of them. From the beginning, three key traits have remained strong throughout Rotary: We’re truly international. Only 16 years after being founded, Rotary had clubs on six continents. Today we’re working together from around the globe both digitally and in-person to solve some of our world’s most challenging problems. We persevere in tough times. During WWII, Rotary clubs in Germany, Austria, Italy, Spain, and Japan were forced to disband. Despite the risks, many continued to meet informally and following the war’s end, Rotary members joined together to rebuild their clubs and their countries. Our commitment to service is ongoing. We began our fight against polio in 1979 with a project to immunize 6 million children in the Philippines. By 2012, only three countries remain polio-endemic—down from 125 in 1988.

PEACE REGION — Rural residents in Areas B, C and D took to the polls and voted no to both establishing a domestic sewage receiving facility and a potable water service on Nov. 7. The Peace River Regional District held two referendums, one in Areas B and C asking if residents were in favour of allowing the regional district to establish a domestic sewage receiving function at the Charlie Lake Sewer Treatment Plant. Of the 932 ballots cast, 510 residents voted no, while 420 voted in favour, according to preliminary results. Two ballots were spoiled or rejected. The turnout represents just 12 per cent of the 7,785 eligible voters in Areas B and C. The turnout for the second referendum question, for residents of Areas B, C and D, was slightly better, with 13 per cent of the voting population casting a ballot, according to preliminary results. The referendum question asked whether or not residents would permit the regional district to establish capital and operating reserve accounts to construct or upgrade potable water tank loader sites at various locations. Of the 1,466 ballots cast, 701 voted for it, and
763 against. There were two ballots that were spoiled or rejected. Karen Goodings, director for electoral Area B, was “disappointed” with the low voter turnout. “We tried very hard this time to make sure that people had information so that we could get a better turnout and so therefore, I think, a better vote,” she said, in an interview with the Alaska Highway News. While it wasn’t surprising that residents voted against the sewage facility, because most rural residents have lagoons, the results on the potable water function were less predictable. It’s not clear what the next steps are for area directors, or whether the PRRD can be do anything to establish potable water facilities. “I know we have communities that were really looking forward to having a source closer to home, but I’m not sure how we can accomplish that now,” Goodings said. “Maybe we just get the message that they don’t want us involved in water and we aren’t involved anymore. At this point, I don’t know.” The domestic sewage facility is nearly ready to open, but the referendum results mean that it will be on a user pay basis. peacereporter@ahnfsj.ca

Answer: d) In the 1949 Motor City Open, there was a sudden-death playoff that lasted 11 holes between Cary Middlecoff and Lloyd Mangrum. Tournament officials, with their mutual consent, declared them co-winners.
Golfers no longer face automatic disqualification for two violations, including an incorrect scorecard, under the latest set of rules that reflect a little more leniency in handing out penalties. The Royal & Ancient Golf Club and U.S. Golf Association announced changes to the 2016 edition of the Rules of Golf, which is updated every four years. Players will avoid disqualification if the incorrect scorecard is the result of penalty strokes they didn’t know about when they finished their rounds. The penalty also was softened for players using artificial devices, such as training aids, in the middle of the round.
Lessons from the Golf Pro We talk all the time about how to gain strokes on our golf game and working around the green is a vital component. However, one of the areas that we hardly ever work on is the very short wedge. We are talking anywhere from the 20-yard to the 50-yard shot that is very difficult because we never take a full swing like a pitching wedge or with our irons. Here are a couple of drills to practice to improve your short wedge game. The first drill is to set a goal for yourself on the range or around the green and practice hitting the ball consistently that distance. This helps you get a feel for how much backswing you need to hit the ball the appropriate distance. The other drill is to roll golf balls underhand a set distance in order to try to develop a rhythm for those tricky short pitch shots.

Matt Kenseth was suspended from NASCAR for the next two NASCAR Sprint Cup Series championship events and placed on NASCAR probation for a six-month period following issuance of the penalty notice. “Based upon our extensive review, we have concluded that the #20 car driver, who is no longer in the Chase, intentionally wrecked the #22 car driver, a Chase-eligible competitor who was leading the race at the time,” said Steve O’Donnell, NASCAR executive vice president and chief racing development officer. “The #20 car was nine laps down, and eliminated the #22 car’s opportunity to continue to compete in the race.”
4) Martin Truex Jr. Points: 4076
This week’s race is the ninth in the Chase for the Sprint Cup and the final race of the Eliminator Round. Next week will be the final race of the Chase for the Cup. In 1964, when Phoenix International Raceway was carved out of the foothills of the Estrella Mountains, it was intended to be a new jewel in the crown of American open wheel racing. Drivers like Mario Andretti, A.J. Foyt, Parnelli Jones and the Unsers soon came to love the one mile paved oval with the unique bend in the backstretch. But it wasn’t until 1988, when NASCAR Sprint Cup Series racing came to PIR, that auto racing in Phoenix really became a major sporting attraction for the “Valley of the Sun.” Today, Phoenix International Raceway has a tradition that is unmatched in the world of racing.

Last Weekend’s Race: Jimmie Johnson won the AAA Texas 500 Jimmie Johnson foiled Brad Keselowski’s dominant day at Texas Motor Speedway, rallying to win the AAA Texas 500. Johnson led just six laps but denied the eight remaining contenders in the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup playoffs an automatic berth among the championship-eligible quartet. His fifth win of the season was his sixth at the 1.5-mile Fort Worth track and the 75th of his premier-series career. Johnson’s Hendrick Motorsports No. 48 Chevrolet led the final four laps of the 334-lap race, by passing Keselowski’s Team Penske No. 2 Ford after applying heavy pursuit during the final green-flag stretch. Keselowski -- the Coors Light Pole Award winner in Friday qualifying -- led 312 of 334 laps, winding up 1.083 seconds behind Johnson at the checkered flag. “I just kept pressure on him,” Johnson said in Victory Lane. “I could see that he was really tight and that was the first I had seen him that vulnerable all day. I just kept the pressure on him, kept searching for a line.”
