ALASKA HIGHWAY NEWS
DAWSON CREEK — Tourism Dawson Creek is in a fight for its life after city council voted to end its contract in October. But it's getting some help from the Chamber of Commerce. The current contract is set to expire on May 31, what happens after that is unclear—there is no plan to deliver tourism services in Dawson Creek. The timing couldn't be worse, Chamber of Commerce executive director Kathleen Connolly said, because after the May long weekend is when tourist season kicks into high gear. And the the low Canadian dollar could make for a particularly busy summer. "It may have been a knee jerk reaction to try and find budget cuts," Connolly said. “Regardless, we feel this contract needs to be extended so that our businesses can benefit (and so) we can come up with a new model that everybody agrees on.” Council asked city staff to work on a report detailing what tourism services would look like in the wake of the decision. On Monday, acting mayor Mark Rogers said the decision not to renew the contract was made for “financial considerations.”

The city has been looking to trim costs to deal with its deficit, known as the fiscal gap. Tourism costs the city around $500,000 a year. Connolly said she wasn’t sure the city left itself enough time to come up with a plan. “To get that done by May next year would nothing short of a miracle,” she said. Austin Weaver, tourism development co-ordinator with Tourism Dawson Creek, is wasting no time rallying support. On Wednesday, he brought together local businesses and other partners, including the City of Dawson Creek, to explain the implications of losing the service. “We got an indication of the value or tourism in the community,” he said. “We also came out with a recognition that Tourism Dawson Creek has to be a little more financially sustainable.” That could mean charging visitors for local attractions and programs. Weaver said that he gets the sense there is “a bit of a misunderstanding” of what his office does. People “understand the value of tourism,” he added, “but they may not understand what I do. We are an integral part of this community.” With important dates on the horizon like the 75th anniversary of the Alaska Highway, which happens to coincide with the 150th anniversary of Canada, “we need somebody to plan how we are going to capitalize on that opportunity,” Connolly said. Weaver and the newlyformed Tourism Advisory Board is expected to make a proposal at the Dec. 21 council meeting in support of extending the contract past its May expiry date. “From our perspective you can’t just not support this industry, and it’s a big industry in our community,” Connolly said. dcreporter@dcdn.ca

Cattle rustler gets house arrest after guilty plea Jonny Wakefield
ALASKA HIGHWAY NEWS
DAWSON CREEK — A 21-year-old man accused of killing a calf in the Groundbirch Community Pasture has been sentenced to six months house arrest. Cody Lee Housego, one of three men charged with shooting and butchering three calves in the pasture July 26, entered guilty pleas on seven charges in Dawson Creek provincial court Friday. He has been ordered to pay two ranchers $1,000 each in restitution for the calf he killed. An RCMP constable tracked Housego and the two other men to his home in Dawson Creek after receiving a tip. The of-
ficer found the hind leg, hip and shoulder sections of the animals in a box in his truck after obtaining a search warrant. Travis Wiebe and William Blanchard, the co-accused, are set to be arraigned Dec. 15. On the morning of July 26, an acquaintance received a call from Housego, saying he was stranded around 10 kilometres into the Groundbirch pasture with a flat tire. When he arrived, the man saw Housego and the co-accused with the remains of the calves. After deciding what he’d seen was “not kosher,” the man called the police and Cattlemen’s Association, Crown prosecutor Tamera Golinsky said. Continued on Page A6

Local News CATTLE RUSTLER -
Continued from Page A3 RCMP later arrived on the scene, and two witnesses were able to identify the remains of the calves as belonging to Clinton and Gina Odden, and Victor Remple. Somehow, the three accused were able to make it back to Dawson Creek, where they were arrested. Golinsky said the case law on how to sentence people convicted of stealing cattle dates back to the 1970s. In the past, offenders in New Brunswick and Saskatchewan had been given jail time. She cited two cases which stressed
the importance of deterring people from abusing community pastures, which she described as systems “built on trust.” However, Housego’s guilty plea saved the court considerable time, which the judge looked upon favourably. During the first four months of his sentence, Housego will only be allowed to leave home for work or medical emergencies. The conditional sentence order bans him from having firearms for five years. Housego was also ordered to stay away from Wiebe and Blanchard. reporter@dcdn.ca

Local News Merry Christmas from Lori Lalonde Mortgages
F O R
Hey everyone! We’re well into December now, and you know as well as I how quickly the rest of the month will go by. So before we all get swept up in the rush of buying presents, making plans, writing cards, and baking treats, I thought it would be nice to reflect on where we’ve come since the start of 2015.
L I V I N G
For starters, January saw the bank of Canada drop its overnight lending rate by a quarter of a percent, which the Big 6 Banks responded to by dropping their lending rates by just 0.15%. Despite that, mortgage rates for Canadians were the lowest they’d been in years, and the market in Northern BC especially was absolutely on fire. That was made particularly evident the very next month, when BC’s 2015 budget marked it as the only province in Canada with a surplus – and one of almost a billion dollars, at that. And remember, not only was the surplus double what it was predicted to be by finance experts, but we’re expected to run a surplus for the next three years. So even though these last few months have been a little rougher, we came into the downturn from the strongest possible position. In fact, in July the Bank of Canada dropped the overnight lending rate by another quarter of a percentage point. The Banks responded the same as last time, with a drop in their own lending rates of a measly 0.10%. Any cut is a net positive for Canadians, however, and as I explained a bunch of times this past year, the Big 6 Banks aren’t Canadians’ only option when it comes to mortgages. I have access to over 40 lenders who are willing to provide the perfect rate, and I was able to match up a record number of clients with those lenders in 2015. That success, and the continued success throughout Northern BC, came despite the falling oil prices at the end of summer. As I pointed out then, even oil-sensitive regions like ours were faring pretty well. As a matter of fact, this has been one of my most successful years ever as a mortgage broker, for a whole slew of reasons (and if that doesn’t convince you that our housing market is alright, I’m not sure what will). Not only did I have the opportunity to hire several talented people to my team, but I opened my own office in the heart of downtown Dawson Creek. All of this has only been possible with the support of the North, and all my friends and colleagues in this beautiful province. My year here has been so wonderfully rewarding, and I’m committed to having a whole lot more of them.

Really, that’s what I wanted to leave you all with as we make our way into 2016. I know some of you are wary of the new federal government, and the lower price of oil is obviously a concern for most of us, but the important thing is that Northern BC is as strong as it’s ever been. We started the year with a bang, and that’s what we’re gonna do next year, too – slightly higher interest rates or not. I’m so thankful to be a part of this incredible, hard-working community, and I look forward to finding the perfect mortgage for as many people as possible in the coming year (and years)! As always, my number is (250) 782-9665 and my phone is always on. My new year’s resolution is to continue doing as much as I can to make this province great – and I know that’s yours too.

t probably comes as no surprise that more traffic fatalities due to drunk driving occur at the New Year than any other time, but of course, you should never drink and drive. With your safety in mind, these community sponsors urge you to review these important tips for hosting or attending a safe celebration!
• Plan an alcohol-free celebration – Host a fondue or “make your own” ice cream sundae party as a fresh alternative. Add some fun party games to keep guests entertained without drinking! • Check your keys with the host – This is an effective strategy for giving the host some control over inebriated guests. • Keep the number of a taxi company handy – A good tip for both party guests and hosts alike. • Offer to drive a guest home – Start the New Year off right by performing a good deed and help keep drunk drivers off the road. • Appoint a designated driver – Use the buddy system and you can return the favor next time. • Provide lots of snacks to party guests – Drinking on an empty-stomach rapidly increases alcohol’s debilitating effects. • Post transportation info on party invites – Include information for public transportation, car pools and taxi company phone numbers. • Don’t let a friend drive drunk – Take the car keys away or use one of the strategies above to see your friends safely home.

For the 2015 holiday season, we are reaching out once more, in hopes of opening your hearts to those residents in our hospital who need just a bit more care in their lives.

These patients could also be coming to our hospital for comfort and care for the duration of their passing from our lives. Regardless of the reason behind their stay at the hospital, all patients deserve quality care in their visit, and that is something for which the Foundation strives, to the best of our ability. We work tirelessly throughout the year in a variety of ways, supporting departments across the Dawson Creek and District Hospital, in hopes of providing the finest care possible for you, your family and friends, both now and in the future.

Please find it within your heart this holiday season to donate to the Dawson Creek and District Hospital Foundation. You will be contributing to the quality of care that the hospital is able to provide to all of its patients, and in so doing, supporting our community of mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters, and grandparents and children.

Songwriters' association member Linda Studley said she felt it was important to recognize the MacDonalds for their work with youth. "They worked with the local kids, and it was wonderful to see the kids have that sense of accomplishment," she said, noting the group disbanded after some of the kids grew up and moved away. "They used to do a lot of shows, and raised a lot of money for different charities." The group performed in the dark under black lights, using illuminated gloves to spell out words and create images.

From the P harmacist’s File Blood Pressure
Nutritional approach Hypertension increases the risk of cardiovascular disease and stroke. Oftentimes, the cause of hypertension cannot be determined. Although changing your diet may not eliminate the need for medication, it can, through a few simple measures, enhance the effectiveness of your treatment and may even help reduce your risk of cardiovascular disease. The DASH Diet The DASH or Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension diet is an eating plan aimed at preventing and controlling high blood pressure. The focus of this diet is on increasing one’s intake of fruits, vegetables, low fat milk and dairy products, whole grains, chicken, fish and nuts, and decreasing one’s intake of fat, red meat and sugar. Reduce your sodium intake Eating too much sodium can increase blood pressure. If your pressure is already high, you can help reduce it by decreasing your sodium intake. The Canadian Hypertension Education Program recommends limiting sodium intake to 2,000 mg (5 g of salt) per day. You can limit your salt intake by avoiding very salty foods, such as: • Delicatessen and smoked meats • Chips, cookies and salted nuts • Large amounts of cheese (except cottage cheese and salt-free cheese) • Vegetable or tomato juice • Seasonings (celery salt, onion salt, garlic salt) • Olives and pickles • Canned soups, soup mix, condensed, cubed or concentrated consommes and bouillon (such as Bovril®, Oxo®) Tips to reduce sodium (salt) consumption: • Choose low-or reduced-sodium, or no-salt-added versions of foods and condiments when available. • Choose fresh, frozen, or canned (low-sodium or no-salt-added) vegetables. • Use fresh poultry. fish, and lean meats, rather than canned, smoked. or processed types. • Choose ready-to-eat breakfast cereals that are lower in sodium. • Limit cured foods (such as bacon and ham), foods packed in brine (such as pickles, pickled vegetables. olives. and sauerkraut), and condiments (such as mustard, ketchup. and soya sauce). • Cook rice, pasta, and hot cereals without salt. Cut back on instant or flavored rice, pasta, and cereal mixes.
Monday - Friday: 8:30 AM - 5:00 PM Saturday: 9:00 AM - 1:00 PM

• Rinse canned foods to remove some of the sodium. • Use spices instead of salt. When cooking and at the table, flavor foods with herbs, spices, lemon, lime, vinegar, or salt-free seasoning blends. • Use salt substitutes under medical advice only. These substitutes can be harmful to people with certain medical conditions. • Remove the salt shaker from the table at home and ask that it be removed from your table when dining out at restaurants. • Read the Nutrition Facts labels on foods to compare the amount of sodium in products. Look for the sodium content. Choose foods that provide less than 5 percent of the daily value for sodium. Foods that contain more than 20 percent of the daily value for sodium are considered high. • Make these changes gradually. Increase your potassium intake Potassium appears to have a protective effect on the body. It is found in fresh foods such as potatoes, tomatoes, mushrooms, oranges, bananas, cantaloupes. dates, dairy products, nuts, whole grains, legumes. lean meats, peanuts. almonds and dried apricots. Warning! Potassium can interact with several drugs. If you are taking medications to control your blood pressure. talk to your pharmacist to make sure that you can safely increase your potassium intake. Manage your weight Hypertension can be caused or worsened by excess weight. Try to maintain a healthy weight. If you need to lose some excess weight, talk to your dietician who will suggest ways to modify your diet. Once you reach your healthy weight, try to maintain it by eating balanced meals. Limit your alcohol consumption There is a strong link between hypertension and consumption of 4 or more drinks per day. It is recommended that you limit your consumption of alcohol to a maximum of 2 drinks per day and consumption for men should not exceed 14 drinks per week and 9 drinks per week for women (one drink is equal to a glass of wine, one beer or one ounce of spirits). Always watch your diet: it has a strong impact on your health! r0011010731

Ray “Buttons” Kimber, longtime resident of Dawson Creek, British Columbia, passed away on November 4, 2015 in Edmonton, Alberta, at 78 years of age. Ray was born March 19, 1937 in Blaine Lake, Saskatchewan. He was the fifth child of eleven born to Alvina and William Kimber. In 1964 Ray and Esther Engstrom were married and raised their two children Shelly and Garnett in Dawson Creek, British Columbia. “Buttons” worked for the city for 14 years. He also hauled asphalt for Arrow Paving for 3 years, taking his family up to Yellowknife for the summer. He worked his later years driving Wapco at Quintette Coal Mine in Tumbler Ridge, British Columbia. He retired early after 17 years. All through his life Ray enjoyed sports, playing hockey for the Old Timers and even joined the same baseball team as his adult children. When he had spare time, he enjoyed fly fishing in the summer and ice fishing in the winter. In Ray’s younger years he took his family camping, and as a senior he liked to quad and had many backyard BBQs. Ray loved to joke, laugh, and visit with friends. After he retired he became an avid walker, making his route through the downtown area and was seen by many with a friendly wave. He enjoyed his grandchildren, Sydney and Aaron, whether picking them up from school or spending time at Man Made Lake. Ray played his guitar daily, enjoyed Christmas traditions and singing with friends and family. Ray was a husband, father, uncle, grandfather, and friend. He will be missed by many. A funeral service was held Thursday, November 12, 2015 at Bergeron’s Funeral Chapel, Dawson Creek, British Columbia. Officiated by family friend Jim Mah.
