Honing representing Canada at 2022 World softball championships from our front -

While she is often representing BC and Canada –Dawson Creek’s Roxy Honing was recently down in Las Vegas, Nevada helping out Washington State at midfield and centre field in their world qualifier.

She’s thinking this spring might bring ball camps in the area for youth.

“I’d like to keep the sport active in Dawson Creek and

area, and introduce kids and the younger generation to the sport,” she says.

Honing says support local from businesses, including the Dawson Creek Mirror, help spread the world about the sport and cover equipment and travel expenses. “McLevin Bros., United Spring and Break, Cartwright Ranches, Moat Farms, Harp’s Process Servers, and Rebel Fitness are all board.”

Gibson second at Vancity Showdown, headed to nationals

from our front -

“Prep is important for last weekend,” she says. Gibson finished second in Vancouver last weekend at the Vancity Showdown, setting her up for the national stage. The showdown is a a tested fitness, figure, physique, and bodybuilding show held in British Columbia.

“The goal was a top three finish.”

This week sees Gibson headed to Toronto for the 2022 Canadian National Pro Qualifier. Should she finish first overall – the Ms. Olympia stage is not far away.

Gibson, who started cutting weight in June to prep for these weeks, is the first winner of the Ryeley Palfy scholarship handed out by Gridiron Fitness in Dawson Creek this past summer.

“We started 16 weeks ago but the last three weeks step it up with increased cardio to 90 minutes 6 days a week, and workouts 5 days a week and slightly lower my intake each day.”

The PRRD will be looking for voter feedback on a handful of questions for ratepayers and residents this fall

coincide with the municipal election.

In addition to voting for area municipal leaders, including PRRD area directors, on October 15, five assent voting opportunities will be held in the Peace River Regional District, and qualified voters will be asked to vote on a handful of questions concerning the entire region.

These include several bylaws seeing tax requisitions for the entire region, including municipalities for; sport and cultural events, Dinosaur Museum, Regional Connectivity work and the Global Geopark.

If approved, they each would see a maximum annual tax requisition limit that is the greater of $200,000 or $0.0125/$1,000 of net taxable value of land and improvements, and assessed on improvements, imposed in the entire Peace River Regional District, while regional connectivity is pegged slightly higher at $375,000, or $0.0234/$1,000 of net taxable value.

Area B will also be voting on bylaw for financial contributions for the Fort St. John Public Library.

“Are you in favour of the Peace River Regional District adopting Electoral Area B Fort St. John Public Library Financial Contribution Service Establishment Bylaw No. 2484, 2022’ for the purpose of creating a new service function in Electoral Area B, that will authorize provision of an annual financial contribution to the Fort St. John Public Library to fund the costs of operating the library, at a maximum annual tax requisition limit that is the greater of $100,000, or $0.0281/$1,000 on the net taxable value of land and improvements, and assessed on improvements only, in Electoral Area B?” – reads the question.

Mile Zero woman picks up $500K lottery win

Rob Brown Managing Editor

Judy McConnell’s family will soon be relaxing beachside in Hawaii as McConnell plans to surprise her loved ones with a holiday after winning a $500,000 bonus prize from the Aug. 29 Daily Grand draw.

The Dawson Creek resident was at the Dawson Co-op Gas Bar on 8th Street when she discovered her win after purchasing and checking the ticket there with the retailer.

“It said the ticket was a winner when the clerk checked it,” she recalled. “I had to call my husband to tell him… I was in disbelief!”

Her husband was also in disbelief of her win.

“He didn’t believe me and said, ‘Really?!’”

McConnell is a local business owner and loves what she does for a living. Aside from taking her family on vacation, she looks forward to continuing to enjoy life, just a little more comfortably now thanks to her prize.

“It’s exhilarating… I feel nervous, lost and all kinds of words. Oh my goodness it’s exciting.”

Noll seeks SD59 trustee seat

Lynnsy Noll reached out for a conversation concerning her candidacy for trustee in SD59.

Noll is born and raised in Mile Zero, with an education degree from the University of Alberta. She has taught four years in Quesnel, and two years in Dawson Creek. She was also a non-cert substitute and worked for grounds keeping with the district.

Q - What issues do you think the district should be specifically looking at?

A - Attraction and retention of all staff i.e., qualified teachers, eas, youth support workers, counsellors. Etc. I think teachers are finding other places to teach and work, but there are educators from all over Canada and all over the world that could love dawson creek.

Other districts do offer more – helps with housing leads, other business that make it more attractive than here, welcome packages, even something as friendly as a thank you email.

Q – Are there education issues specific in the north?

A - Agriculture and Energy – we could be looking at more partnerships for funding, or apprenticeships with post-secondary institutions in British Columbia, improving graduation rates to get kids into trades and STEM.

Q – What are you doing leading into Oct. 15?

A - Meeting with youth organizations, what are the gaps with the district – how can we best assist Those who do have a child, or will have a child in the district, and talking to students.

Q – What are some of those gaps?

A - Parents concerns about class set-ups, buildings too small. Teachers covering more than one grade and class at a time.

Q – Anything else?

A - If I can affect change for the better – this is a focus. More core French, mote mental health, and work with First Nations directions for education in the district.

Fundraising for bear attack victims approaches $25K

Rob Brown Managing Editor

A pair of gofundme fundraisers for victims of a vicious bear attack on Bear Mountain are approaching a combined fundraised amount of $25,000.

One fundraiser for Analyn Shurtliff and family is being organized buy DeAnna Wry. Click here.

“I am fundraising to assist Analyn’s family, her husband and two teenage children. The funds will be used to help with costs of travel to Vancouver, and loss of income; as Analyn worked very hard to provide for her family and her husband has only recently started a new job. And also with future recovery costs, as Analyn faces a lengthy hospital stay and recovery process.”

The second is for Leosette Canoy organized by Wennali Canoy. Click here.

“(She) is facing a long recovery after the bear attack and she was critically injured. She was confined here in the Edmonton Royal Alexandra Hospital.”

Police say the two women were critically injured Monday evening after a black bear attacked them while hiking the cross-country ski club trails on Bear Mountain, south of Dawson Creek.

The bear then prevented family and emergency responders from the victims until it was killed, making way for the victims to be airlifted away with severe lifethreatening injuries from the atttack.

Dawson Creek looks for new CAO

Rob Brown Managing Editor

The City of Dawson Creek is looking for a new CAO.

Being billed as city council’s key advisor and strategist, the City is looking for someone with top-level skills in interpersonal communication, problem solving, conflict resolution, organizational analysis, research, presentation, and client service.

The deadline for the position is early November. Blair Lekstrom was named CAO in February of 2020. He was elected a city councillor in 2018. He announced his retirement as CAO this June.

Peace River ridings safe in electoral boundaries proposal

The provincial Electoral Boundaries Commission is recommending the two Peace River ridings in Northeast B.C. be kept in the legislature.

“We considered combining the two Peace River ridings, but that would have exacerbated already significant transportation and connectivity problems,” the commission wrote in its preliminary report, released Monday.

“We also looked at moving some of the communities just west of the Rocky Mountains into Peace River South; however, an electoral district that spans the Rocky Mountains makes little sense given the lack of reliable transportation routes.

“Importantly, South Peace communities have different interests than those of communities west of the Rockies.

“We concluded that the geographical size and communities of interest in this riding make its current boundaries necessary.

“We propose no changes to them.”

The recommendations come after months of consultations across the province, which drew large crowds at hearings held in Northeast B.C. in May.

The three-member commission heard there

was a need for greater representation from the northeast in the legislature, due both to its importance to the provincial economy and the incredibly large size of the ridings.

At 175,795 square kilometres, Peace River North (pop. 40,375) is the second largest riding in B.C., according to the commission.

“Travel within the district is difficult because of its size, limited transportation options and severe winter climate,” the commission noted.

The commission has proposed what it described as technical mapping changes for boundaries of the riding that pass through water bodies.

By comparison, Peace River South is 30,362 square kilometres in size, population 25,635, according to the commission.

The commission said that while it considered consolidating the six northern ridings into five, “we are convinced that any such changes would deprive residents of these districts of effective representation,” it said.

“The very large geographic size of many of these ridings and their challenging terrain and weather, along with limited transportation options and poor internet connectivity, persuades us that it is truly necessary that they retain their current boundaries.”

Residents are invited to provide input on a plan for a network of marine protected areas in B.C.’s northern coast

The waters of British Columbia’s coast have been home to rich marine life and the habitats that sustain them for millennia. They are a source of food and job opportunity for people throughout the north coast, and have provided for First Nations since time immemorial. The Northern Shelf, a coastal stretch from North Vancouver Island to the Alaska border, is home to Pacific salmon, Pacific herring, colonies of corals and sponge reefs, three types of killer whale, sea otter, a variety of rockfish, groundfish and shellfish, and lush kelp beds and eelgrass meadows. These waters are today facing an increasing number of threats, including the impacts of development and climate change.

A landmark partnership between First Nations, the Province of B.C. and the Government of Canada is working to proactively protect areas of the Northern Shelf. Throughout September and October, coastal residents are invited to provide input on a draft Network Action Plan to guide future implementation of a network of marine protected areas (MPAs).

MPA networks help restore coastal habitats, protect ecological values, and support environmental, cultural, social and economic benefits. The proposed Network of MPAs combines a range of designations and management tools to protect and conserve key marine habitats and species, as well as areas of cultural importance to First Nations. Ultimately, the Network can help reduce threats to biodiversity and support the long-term sustainability of marine life in the region.

The draft Network Action Plan includes the proposed design for the MPA Network and provides recommendations to support its implementation, governance, and adaptive management. While this process began in 2015, the draft plan is the outcome of over a decade of collaboration between three orders of governments, and consultation with industry, coastal communities, and other stakeholders.

Residents are invited to provide input on the draft Network Action Plan via an online survey and attend webinars and in-person open houses from now to the end of October. Preliminary findings from the public engagement are expected to be shared this winter and a full report made public in spring 2023.

The final Network Action Plan is expected in early 2023, to support next steps towards implementation. Additional opportunities for engagement and input from First Nations, stakeholders, and the public will be available as this process continues.

To learn more and share your input, visit mpanetwork.ca/protect-prosper-preserve

The commission has recommended that six new ridings be created to address what it called “rapid population growth” in Langford, Burnaby, Langley, Surrey, Vancouver, and Kelowna.

If adopted by the provincial government, the legislative assembly would grow from 87 to 93 members.

“Before we began our deliberations, we travelled throughout the province, meeting as many people as we could, seeking input on electoral boundaries. We held 50 public meetings in 43 communities and received over 1,300 submissions,” said Justice Nitya Iyer, who chaired the commission.

“Our recommendations are the result of the considerations in the Act, the data we collected and the diverse perspectives of British Columbians.”

The commission says its final report is expected to be published in spring 2023.

Public input continues to be gathered, with an online survey open until 11:59 pm on Nov. 22.

Vaccination is Cheaper than the Consequences

CHLOE JACKSON, UCVM DVM Student

Most people know that vaccinating your dog against parvovirus (CPV) is essential, but do you know why? Parvoviral enteritis (“parvo”) can be a costly, and life-threatening

condition in your puppy. It is caused by a highly contagious virus which is acquired by ingestion of feces, which means that your dog may pick it up via licking, sni ng, or ingesting stool or anything that their poop has touched. Your puppy could pick it up at day care, dog parks, the pet store, and boarding facilities. Unvaccinated and young dogs (6 weeks to 6 months of age) are most susceptible to the disease.

The disease results in extensive damage to the gastrointestinal system, and bone marrow, leading to immunosuppression. This results in poor absorption of nutrients and uid and allows bacteria that normally lives in the gut to migrate into the bloodstream, resulting in life-threatening problems. If your pet is not treated immediately, they will become very ill and their chance for survival is reduced. Prognosis depends on numerous factors, but a survival rate of up to 90% has been reported if a patient is treated immediately with intensive care.

Clinical signs include frequent or severe, bloody, foul-smelling diarrhea, vomiting, dehydration, weight loss, reduced or no appetite, marked depression/lethargy, and fever.

If you think your puppy has parvo, please call the clinic immediately. REMEMBER that parvo is extremely contagious so DO NOT enter the clinic on your own or with your puppy to prevent spreading to other dogs. Call us at 250 782 5616 to book an appointment. When you arrive, the veterinary team will meet you outside at your vehicle and will collect a fecal sample. A SNAP test (looks at antibodies against the virus) is performed which takes about 10

minutes to run. If the result is positive, along with an appropriate clinical history, a diagnosis is made.

Depending on how sick your puppy is on presentation, hospitalization or home care may be selected. Treatment includes antibiotics, nutritional management, anti-nausea/vomiting medication, and IV uids. Prognosis depends on how quickly aggressive treatment is initiated. Patients that survive the rst 3-4 days typically recover.

Your puppy should be kept away from other susceptible animals for 2 weeks after clinical resolution of infection. CPV is very stable in the environment and is resistant to the e ects of many disinfectants. As such, a 1:30 bleach solution (1 part bleach to 29 parts water) should be used and can be applied to all surfaces. A contact time of 10 minutes is needed to kill the virus.

Vaccinating your pet is therefore critical to prevent disease. It is recommended to vaccinate as early as 6 weeks of age, and to get your puppy boostered every 3-4 weeks until 16 weeks of age to ensure appropriate immunity. If your dog is not vaccinated during this time, or misses a vaccination, please consult your veterinarian to ensure they are receiving appropriate immunity. It is best to keep your puppy away from unvaccinated dogs until at least 2 weeks after their last set of vaccines to ensure this virus does not get contracted.

contact Dawson Creek Veterinary Clinic should you have any questions about this disease, or if you would like to book your puppy in today for their vaccines!

Six-six-six short films will screen Thursday, Oct 27 at KPAC as part of MacWood’s Horrorfest.

The Hunter, Back to Killin, Nice Guys Copy Last, Anxiety, Back 2 Killin’, and All You Have to Do is Scream, will all screen on the evening.

MacWood Productions is a local film company owned by Ryan Leawood and Grady MacTavish.

“There are some jump scares, some fun scares and more,” says MacTavish - the Mac in MacWood. The team has grown with each film – these six represent new work and work going back to 2017.

The films are in the realm of PG-13 – some language, violent scenes and blood.

The works will screen, followed by a Q & A the films.

Pumpkins and winter squashes are popular in fall, and their versatility undoubtedly contributes to that popularity.

Roasted Pumpkin Soup with Pumpkin Crisps

Serves 6 to 8

3 to 31⁄2 pounds pumpkin

6 tablespoons olive oil

2 onions, chopped

3 garlic cloves, chopped

1 3-inch piece of fresh ginger root, grated

1 teaspoon ground coriander

1⁄2 teaspoon ground turmeric

Pinch of cayenne pepper

4 cups vegetable stock

Salt and ground black pepper

1 tablespoon sesame seeds Fresh cilantro leaves, to garnish

For the pumpkin crisps

Wedge of fresh pumpkin, seeded

1⁄2 cup olive oil

1. Preheat the oven to 400 F. Prick the pumpkin around the top several times with a fork. Brush the pumpkin with plenty of the oil and bake for 45 minutes or until tender. Leave until cool enough to handle.

2. Take care when cutting the pumpkin, as there may still be a lot of hot steam inside. When cool enough to handle, scoop out and discard the seeds. Scoop out and chop the esh.

3. Heat about 4 tablespoons of the remaining oil (you may not have to use all of it) in a large pan and add the onions, garlic and ginger, then cook gently for 4 to 5 minutes. Add the coriander, turmeric, and cayenne, and cook for 2 minutes. Stir in the pumpkin esh and stock. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer for about 20 minutes until tender.

4. Cool the soup slightly, then puree it in a food processor or blender until smooth. Return the soup to the rinsed out pan and season well.

5. Meanwhile, prepare the pumpkin crisps. Using a swivel-blade potato peeler, pare long thin strips o the wedge of pumpkin. Heat the oil in a small pan and fry the strips in batches for 2 to 3 minutes, until crisp. Drain on paper towels.

6. Reheat the soup and ladle it into bowls. Top with the pumpkin crisps and garnish each portion with sesame seeds and cilantro leaves.

PJ Stokes works up a Thanksgiving dinner in one bite last week at the DC Co-op’s NLC cooking demo Thursday. Turkey, cranberry salsa, asparagus, sweet potato wafer, poultry julien and more combine for a mouthful. BROWN

Even though we know winter is coming, there are a couple of things to be thankful for. The first is that as we get older this will provide us with the mandatory “winter storm” story to tell our kids and grandkids. The second thing we have to be thankful for is that winter doesn’t last forever.

We may not always have sunshine, but we have the promise that the rough times and winter, won’t last forever.

ARIES – MAR 21/APR 20

Aries, others are counting on you this week, so you’ll need to direct all of your attention toward a special project. Don’t let distractions get in the way.

TAURUS – APR 21/MAY 21

Taurus, rather than wishing for some thing to happen, figure out a plan to make it happen. Before taking action, consult with a few close friends for guidance.

GEMINI – MAY 22/JUN 21

Someone may come to you this week with a problem asking for your advice, Gemini. It’s tempting to react right away. However, take a few hours to mull things over.

CANCER – JUN 22/JUL 22

Someone at work may not agree with your point of view lately. Rather than cause friction, try to look at things through this person’s perspective.

LEO – JUL 23/AUG 23

Freddie Valentine Willich

It is with profound sorrow that we announce the passing of Freddie “Fred” Valentine Willich, a long-time resident of Dawson Creek, British Columbia, on Sunday, September 25, 2022, at the age of 85 years.

Fred Willich was born February 14, 1937, to William and Anna Willich. The sixth of nine children, Fred grew up on the family farm in the Sunrise Valley district of northern British Columbia. In 1960, Fred met and married Ruth Hall. They had four daughters, Debora, Terry, Brenda, and Deana and made their home in Dawson Creek.

In 1982, Fred moved Ruth and their two youngest daughters to Nanaimo, British Columbia, where he lived until shortly after Ruth passed away. A few years later, in 2017, Fred moved back to Dawson Creek where he spent his remaining days. Fred worked hard to care for the needs of his family. His career was in the lumber industry in British Columbia. As a young man he worked for West Fraser in Dawson Creek and when he moved to Nanaimo, he returned to working in the local mills for the remainder of his career.

Fred loved sports. Many evenings were spent at the local softball diamonds, hockey rinks and bowling alleys. In later years he enjoyed camping with family, the local rodeo, especially the chuckwagon races, and even had a bout with golfing, though that was short lived.

His love of hunting got him outdoors and gave him the opportunity to spend time with many of his brothers. A glance through old family albums always contains pictures of these times. In the mid-seventies Fred took a record buck mule deer on one of these hunting trips. He had a mount completed and always proudly displayed it in his home. He donated this mount to the Pioneer Village in Dawson Creek, and it can be seen there today in the Trappers Cabin display.

Fred’s biggest loss came with the death of his beloved Ruth in 2008. Fred was also predeceased by his parents William and Anna Willich; brothers Henry (Hank), Bill, Irvine; sisters Francis and June.

Fred is survived by his daughters Debora (Randy) Flinn, Terry Stellaard (Ron Andress), Brenda Willich (Jay Prepchuk), Deana Thorne (Mark Bremner); 6 grandchildren; 5 great-grandchildren; brothers Louis (Buster), Leroy; and sister Pearl.

With respect to Fred’s wishes no formal Funeral Service will be held, but his immediate family will meet next year to place his ashes beside Ruth’s in Nanaimo, British Columbia.

For friends so wishing, donations may be made in memory of Fred to the Rotary Manor Council Fund, 1121-90 Avenue, Dawson Creek, British Columbia, V1G 5A3, where Fred spent his last years.

Very Respectfully, Reynars Funeral Home and Crematorium
