This week’s customers are Norm & Nicole Hanson from Dawson Creek. The Hansons had a couple of tired trucks to trade for a new work truck. They both really like the F-350 Lariat and after working out a fair trade value a deal was made! Norm was in a hurry and didn’t have time for a picture, so Nicole got to drive it first! Why not get yourself a Capital deal from Cam today?

rapidly advancing efficiency of the technologies.” Heyman added that as climate change progresses, British Columbia may regret pursuing a massive and controversial $8.8-billion hydroelectric dam that will flood prime agricultural areas. In an email to the Alaska Highway News, Ministry of Energy and Mines spokesperson David Haslam said CanWEA’s decision to leave B.C. and focus on other jurisdictions was made because Alberta and Saskatchewan have a long way to go to catch up to B.C. in the clean energy sector. “We have a target of generating 93 per cent of our power from clean sources and last year, more than 97 per cent of our power came from clean sources,” Haslam wrote, adding that independent power projects provide about 25 per cent of British Columbia’s electricity and will “continue to play a vital role in meeting the province’s growing energy needs.” Haslam also pointed to a memorandum of understanding signed last year between BC Hydro, the provincial government, and the Clean Energy Association of B.C. as proof that the province is committed to renewable energy sources. “The (agreement) will… strengthen B.C.’s competitive advantage of reliable and affordable clean electricity and support continued investment and growth in the independent power sector,” Haslam wrote. He added that the province’s plan to meet future growth in demand through a mix of conservation, renewing contracts with current independent producers, and Site C, which he says “provides us with firm, cost-effective energy and capacity over many decades.” dcreporter@dcdn.ca

POUCE COUPE — Tanner Merrick and Kaiden McGowan are being credited with helping a police officer who crashed his vehicle following a high speed pursuit Tuesday night in Pouce Coupe. They say they were eating supper when a diesel truck flew by McGowan’s house on 57 Avenue, followed closely by an RCMP SUV. Soon after, there was a flash of light up the road and the power went out. “We saw the light and the power went out so we went up there,” Merrick told the Alaska Highway News. When they got to the scene, the boys saw the police SUV on its side leaning against a power pole. The hood had come loose and a fire had sparked in the engine block. “We jumped out of my truck and ran over to the cop car and started banging on (the windows),” Merrick said. There was no answer at first. “We started pulling on the door,” McGowan said. “We had to pry it open because it was all jammed (and) bent up. Then he crawled out himself pretty much. Merrick gave him a hand and when he got out we started throwing snow on the fire right away.” The officer then grabbed a fire extinguisher and asked them to step back while he sprayed it down to make sure it was out. The boys said the officer didn’t appear to be hurt too badly. “He was shaking and wasn’t saying much but he didn’t seem too injured,” McGowan said. After that, they gave a statement to police and returned home. In an email to the Alaska Highway News Thursday morning, North District RCMP Cpl. Dave Tyreman
Coming Soon:
said the officer was trying to catch up to a “suspected violator.” As he applied the brakes while approaching an intersection, the vehicle slid off the road into a ditch and landed on the driver’s side. Tyreman said the boys held the door of the vehicle open while the officer climbed out. The officer was uninjured, Tyreman added, but was taken to hospital for precautionary reasons. BC Hydro wasn’t immediately able to confirm how long the power was out and how many were affected by the outage. dcreporter@dcdn.ca

From the P harmacist’s File Osteoporosis NUTRITIONAL APPROACH Osteoporosis is characterized by bone loss leading to increased bone fragility and risk of fracture. Women and the elderly are more at risk. The disease can be prevented, or at least reduced, by making certain changes in lifestyle or diet Here is some general advice: • Being physically active early in life will promote a more massive bone structure and help prevent osteoporosis. In fact being physically active at any time during one’s life will help maintain one’s bone structure; • Smoking contributes to bone loss. Yet another reason to stop smoking; • Regular and substantial alcohol consumption slows bone formation. Drink alcohol in moderation; • Caffeine increases the elimination of calcium, which is essential for bone formation, and thus contributes to bone loss. Limit your caffeine intake. A diet rich in calcium is essential for bone tissue formation, maintenance, and regeneration. Here is addtional information to guide you in choosing the right foods: • Although milk is an excellent source of calcium it is not the only one! Swiss cheese, calcium enriched tofu, plain yogurt and whole sesame seeds also contain significant amounts of calcium. Other foods rich in calcium include various types of cheese (mozzarella, cheddar, etc.) and canned sardines and salmon with bones. Most legumes, whether cooked or canned, broccoli and oranges also contain calcium. • Several calcium enriched products are now on the market Read the labels carefully to see how much calcium they really contain. • Milk and dairy products are the only foods
LOCAL SPORTS Srinivas Chalagalla B.Pharm., PhD
that contain large quantities of calcium. Recommended daily intakes vary with age (adolescents, adults, menopausal women) but include at least two daily portions, which should provide 75% of the necessary intake. A portion is defined as one cup of milk (250 ml), 3/4 cup of yogurt (175 ml), 1/2 cup of cottage cheese or ice cream and 45 g or 1 1/2 ounce of cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, swiss); • Vitamin D needs increases in adults over 50. All adults over the age of 50 should take a daily vitamin D supplement of at least 800 IU in addition to the amount obtained from dietary source (following Canada’s Food Guide recommendations provides 200 Ul daily). For postmenopausal women, the Society of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists of Canada (SOGC) recommend in their Osteoporosis Clinical Guidelines a total intake of 1500 mg of elemental calcium from dietary and supplemental sources and, to ensure optimal calcium absorption, a 800 IU of vitamin D supplement each day. Latest canadian recommendation suggests doses up to 2000 Ul daily. This is much more than the Canada’s Food Guide recommendations. • If you think you might need a vitamin supplement, ask your pharmacist The general population, and women in particular, should exercise regularly and make sure that they meet the recommended daily intakes for calcium and vitamin D in order to reduce their risk of osteoporosis. Always watch your diet: it has a strong impact on your health!

Dawson Creek & District
LOCAL NEWS Dawson Creek Fire Department receives funding for water tanker DAWSON CREEK — The Dawson Creek Fire Department has received $450,000 in funding from the Peace River Regional District to replace its aging water tanker truck. The new water hauler will ensure that the fire department has the capability to provide fire service to the rural areas surrounding the city, the regional district said in a report provided to the board at its Feb. 11 meeting. The purchase will also help the regional district accomplish its goal of
providing access to protective and emergency services to its residents by 2018. The new truck will replace a 20-year-old one the fire department currently uses, and will be funded from reserves. Dawson Creek’s old water hauler will be sold for $7,500 to the Charlie Lake Fire Department to replace its 29-yearold truck. —Mike Carter

SPCA steps up animal cruelty enforcement with new officer Jonny Wakefield
staff writer | reporter@dcdn.ca
SOUTH PEACE — A new officer is taking on animal cruelty investigations in the South Peace. Erica Hilbach joined the South Peace SPCA as a special provincial constable with the animal cruelty unit in January, and will carry out investigations in both the South and North Peace. "I'll be conducting investigations on anything that comes in through the hotline," she told the Alaska Highway News. The position was vacant through parts of 2015, which made it difficult for SPCA staff to follow up on cruelty complaints. "You need a constable to write a warrant, to follow up on specific (court) orders, to follow
something into court, if that's required," shelter manager Wendy Davies said. Unlike other shelter staff, Hilbach can recommend charges under both the Criminal Code and the provincial animal cruelty act. Dawson Creek has been in the headlines in recent years for several bizarre animal cruelty cases. In 2011, a resident found a "large block of ice" on his lawn containing the body of a black dog, which appeared to have been frozen inside a rubber storage bin. The case was never solved. The next year, in an almost identical case, a cat was discovered in a block of ice dumped at a Dawson Creek trailer park. While neither of those cases resulted in convictions, the SPCA was able to convict a resident who attempted to neuter their own dog last year, Davies said. She added that to enforce the law, the SPCA
needs reports from the public. "We see that people aren't making those calls," she said. "We can't be everywhere, the Peace Region is huge, (so) if we're not getting these calls reported to us, then we can't be out there protecting those animals." On Tuesday, animal cruelty officers were involved in one of the largest puppy mill busts in B.C. history, seizing 66 neglected animals from a breeder in Langley. They included Old English sheepdogs, Bernese mountain dogs, standard poodles, and Portuguese water dogs. Anyone who witnesses animal cruelty can report it at 1-855-622-7722. reporter@dcdn.ca

HAVE A HEART | JONNY WAKEFIELD PHOTO
For more than 18 years, Dawson Creek’s Norma Modahl has been raising money for the Heart and Stroke Foundation during its February fundraiser. On Tuesday, Modahl pulled out the donation jar (heart-shaped, of course) one more time. Residents at Spruceland Manor enjoyed baking, snacks and coffee at Modahl’s fundraiser, and around 16 people chipped in to the cause. On Thursday, she said the fundraiser had brought in around $200. While there’s still time to donate, she was down from the $500 that came in last year. “I’m down quite a bit, but then I kind of expected it because times are hard now,”she said. “Last year, we might have got a $20 bill, I got a $5 bill this year. But it’s good how it went.”

DAWSON CREEK- The Dawson Creek Junior Canucks finished the regular season with a win and a loss this weekend, downing the Sexsmith Vipers 4-1, before a 3-0 loss at the hands of the County of Grande Prairie JDA Kings Saturday. After Friday's game, head coach Gene Cooper felt his group left something to be desired during the final home game of the regular season. “That wasn’t our plan… [the] coaches plan anyway,” Cooper said about the grind them down style the Jr. C’s played early on in the game. “We wanted to more or less stick to our system and make some clean plays and get the puck moving out there. We wanted to continue where we left off last week and I don’t think we were there tonight.” Despite a Jr. C's relatively high possession rate and 13 shots on net the home side had nothing to show for it and that was perhaps a sticking point for the coaching staff. Especially considering the Vipers dressed just 10 skaters after an apparent flu bug was travelling through their locker room. “We fought the puck early on in the game and we didn’t have the jump that we needed,” Cooper said. “If you’re feet aren’t moving you are going to fight the puck, you’re feet have to be moving to get a little flow into the game or the puck is going to follow you or you’re arriving at the time the puck is there. Tonight it wasn’t there it was a real choppy game, chippy game, just not a lot of flow
to it.” If there was any bright spot Friday, it was the fourth game in the last five the Jr. C’s came roaring out of the gate in the second, scoring twice in the first five minutes of the middle frame to all but sink any hopes of a Vipers comeback. “I said to the boys I really don’t want to see another period like we just had,” Cooper added with a chuckle. “I didn’t feel it on the bench at all as far as any chemistry or fun out there and we need to find it. Two goals in the second it was kind of a relief.” Kohlman Brinsky opened the scoring on a great individual effort and Justin Greyeyes tallied his third goal of the season. Greyeyes added his fourth of the year in just his eighth game this season midway through the third period and is starting to develop some chemistry with Junior Canucks leading scorer Jordan Rea. “Justin is pretty solid,” Cooper said. “He’s getting better on the defensive end which helps us utilize him a little bit more. With him and Rea, I hope they can get a little chemistry going forward and get those goals when we need them.” Josh Round made some big saves when he had to for Dawson Creek, turning aside 31 shots in the win. Heading into the playoffs, Cooper hopes to his team can ramp up the intensity when the games start to mean the season is on the line. “More intensity,” Cooper said bluntly. “I think that would help us out a lot more. More intensity and fight hard for that goal and get the jump on them. Put them on their heels and keep pushing.”

1105 Obituaries Daniel Wayne Backer
Daniel Wayne Backer was born on February 9th, 1954. He was the first of five children born to Red and Eleanor Backer. Dan spent his childhood in Fort Nelson and Campbell River. As he matured into adulthood he spent time living in California and heli logging on Vancouver Island. At the age of 29, Dan became a father to his only child Brittany. A few years later, Dan moved his family back to Vancouver Island. While living there, he transported seafood from the Island to the Vancouver market. Tumbler Ridge was the next stop for Dan and his young family. Tumbler was one of Dan’s all-time favorite places to live and visit. In 1992, Dan took a trip to Hawaii, which was one of the best times of his life. Later that year, Dan moved to Pouce Coupe and later on Dawson Creek. Many people knew Dan as “Dan the fish man” as he spent a few years selling seafood from his blue van. Dan spent many years working as an equipment operator. That job brought him many places in the Peace region, Fort Nelson and Hudson’s Hope. The absolute highlight of Dan’s life came in September 2013, when the birth of his grandson, Jack, made him a Grandpa. Jack was Dan’s pride and joy. Dan passed away peacefully on Friday, February 5th, 2016 with his daughter and son-in-law by his side. Dan was pre deceased by his father John “Red” Backer and his sister Sandra Carnegie. Dan is survived by his daughter Brittany Backer (Marin Burmas); grandson Jack Burmas; mother Eleanor Backer; siblings Eldon Backer, Linda Feldmann, and Dean Backer; nephews Martin and Jonathan; nieces Anna and Kailee; and great nieces Madison, Emma, Zoey, Jada and Olivia. A Celebration of Life service was held February 13, 2016 at Bergeron’s Funeral Chapel, Dawson Creek, British Columbia. Arrangements were entrusted to Bergeron Funeral Services & Crematorium Ltd.

Ruth Joy Graham 1924 - 2016
The family of Ruth Graham would like to thank their friends and relatives for their loving support during this very sad time. Ruth was born in Creelman, SK on November 23, 1924. She passed away February 1, 2016 at the age of 91. She was the beloved wife of George Thomas Graham (GT) who pre-deceased her in 2011. She was also pre-deceased by daughter-inlaw Cathy and grand-son Kevin. She was the mother and grandmother to Ronald and Lynn (Rebecca and Timothy Swejda, David and Nicole Graham and Jonathan and Rya Graham); Michael and Brenda (Trina and Mark Volkhamer, Brenden and Stephanie Graham; Ken and Erika (George Graham and Janina Joy Graham); Richard (Diana and Darrell Crull, Debbie Graham). She was the great-grandmother to Jude and Zoey Swejda; Gabe and Gracie Graham, Reid and Charlie Graham; Samantha and Laura Volkhamer; Devon(Ana) and Dalina Crull. When Ruth was just 5 years old, she moved to the Gundy area along with her parents, Arthur and Alice Bulley and 6 other siblings. Her parents went on to have 3 more children for a total of 10 children. In 1946, while working in the Dawson Creek post office, she met George Graham. They were married on August 2, 1946, and settled in the Rolla / Doe River area where they farmed and raised their family. George and Ruth were successful farmers. In the late 1940’s they raised bees and produced an excellent crop of honey. One year they entered a sample in the Toronto Royal Winter fair and won 1st prize for all of Canada. The next year they also won 1st prize at the Vancouver PNE. In 1967 Ruth and George undertook another successful business venture. Husband George had been delivering propane for a company called JET Propane out of Girouxville, AB. In 1967 they purchased the truck and other assets and started their own company. What to call it? Ruth’s middle name was Joy and it wouldn’t take much to change the name on the side of the truck so George suggested, “Why don’t we call it Joy?” Thus JOY Propane was born and went on to be a successful company, serving the Peace River Country for 40 years, until it’s sale in 2007. Ruth was always plagued with health issues, although you would never know it as she was not a complainer. Back in 1952 she had one lung and part of the other one removed. She went on to have her 2 youngest sons after that major surgery. When she turned 65, the doctor advised her to go on oxygen, and that would give her a couple more years of life. She went on to live for 26 more years! The family would like to say a special Thank You to Ruth’s caregivers including Marlyn Lim, Lennette Villanueva and Bea McCoy. Without their loving care and many kindnesses she wouldn’t have been able to live in her own home until shortly before her death. A memorial service was held on February 6, 2016 at Reynars Funeral home in Dawson Creek. We would like to thank Michael Graham (son) for officiating and June Scheffer and friends from the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah’s Witnesses for arranging the tea. Also, Nicole Graham for putting together the special video of Ruth’s life and the staff at Reynars for their support and assistance. Very Respectfully Reynars Funeral Home and Crematorium.
