DAWSON CREEK — The Bear Mountain Ski Hill is wrestling with mild, dry conditions, but still hopes to open for the season Dec. 11. Ski club head Paul Gevatkoff said crews on the hill have been using what little cold weather the region has seen this winter to make as much snow as possible. "We're just not getting co-operation with the weather. There's no snow, obviously, and it's been mild," he said. The hill typically opens before the start of local schools' winter break in the middle of December. The hill used its snow blowers to make snow for around eight hours last week, but a hole in the water line shut things down for a day-and-a-half, Gevatkoff said. "Now we're waiting for cold weather. The optimum is -15 C or colder," he said. "We're pushing the limits on (snow making) a little bit. We need some cold weather, is what we need." Many forecasters are predicting warm, dry El Niño conditions for the winter. Gevatkoff added that in his 40 years in the Peace Region, he has seen winters where there is no natural snow by New Years.

Warm, dry weather likely to stick around 'Pineapple Express' air flows from Hawaii pushes Peace Region weather above normal Mike Carter
ALASKA HIGHWAY NEWS
PEACE REGION — November didn't scorch any weather records in the Peace Region, but it was warmer and drier than normal. And, with December rolling in today with abovezero highs and buck-naked ground missing a few layers of snow, meteorologists say residents can expect the warm, dry weather to stick around throughout the winter. Temperatures in Dawson Creek and Fort St. John hovered around an average of -3.3 and -3.8 C for the month, respectively, Environment Canada meteorologist Lisa Coldwells told the Alaska Highway News, about three degrees warmer than average temper-
atures for November. "November was characterized by strong southwesterly air flows starting off the beginning of the month, then there was a little bit of coldness in the middle, and, once again, we're returning to that strong southwesterly flow," Coldwells said. Dawson Creek saw its warmest day on Nov. 7, posting a high of 7.9 C, while the warmest day for Fort St. John happened over the weekend — the mercury reached 6.1 C on Nov. 28. But if you think November was unseasonably balmy, the cities were a far cry from records set on Nov. 2, 1949. That's when Dawson Creek posted a record high of 18.9 C, and Fort St. John 18.3, Coldwells said.
Meanwhile, if November was a summer month, the region may well have been considered in a drought — Dawson Creek posted just 6.5 millimetres of precipitation for the month, with Fort St. John posting only 12. 8 mm — a far cry from normals of 29 millimetres, Coldwells said. The region can thank warm air flowing in from Hawaii, appropriately called a "Pineapple Express," Coldwells said. "What we find with a southwesterly flow is once it hits the Rockies and it comes up and over the tallest mountains and starts to descend, you end up with the warmer air coming down to the surface, and that's why you get these temperatures like 7.9," she said. That air dumps most of its precipitation on the
West Coast, while the rest is "squeezed out of the clouds across B.C.," Coldwells added. "When it gets to the other side of the Rockies and to the Peace Country, like Alberta, you get this warm, dry air coming off the mountains," she said. Meanwhile, El Niño weather conditions are continuing to build up in the Pacific Ocean, and will have a greater impact on the province's and region's weather in January and February, Coldwells said. She compared the winter B.C. will see this year to the winter of 2010, when the Winter Olympics were hosted in Vancouver and the Lower Mainland. editor@ahnfsj.ca

Francis Turner leaves an industry that has changed a lot since her first day on the job Mike Carter
ALASKA HIGHWAY NEWS
DAWSON CREEK — After 46 years, Francis Turner notched her time card for the very last time at the downtown post office Friday night. “When I punch out tonight, it’s done,” Turner said with a hint of joy in her voice. “Now, I can get to be the customer.” Turner started working at the post office in 1969. Born in Halifax, Nova Scotia, she moved to the city as a child. It was different back then, she said. “There was lots more volume of letters. At Christmas time, cards were five cents and the ones that only had five words in the message were just three cents,” she recalled. “I can remember people mailing 400 Christmas cards.” But, she's pleasantly surprised that
some people still carry on that tradition today. “I had a lady here yesterday that bought 120 of them to mail,” she said. “I think the younger generation, it isn’t as much to them as it is to the older people. Older people, I think, like to keep their cards and go through them. As time goes by, even as people pass, you’ve got cards from them that are hanging up at Christmas time.” The downtown post office was in a much larger building than it is now when Turner was first hired. It was located near where the Calvin Kruk Centre sits today. It was “way bigger,” she said. “Now it’s all split up because there is the processMIKE CARTER PHOTO ing plant where all the letter carriers work After 46 years at the post office, it's the people and the tourists Francis Turner will out of.” Mail came in on the train in those days, miss most. 'They're almost like family,' she said, before punching her time card for and was sorted there before it ever came the last time on Friday. into the post office. “They used to have a fellow on the train that sorted the mail,” so at every drop it was all ready to go, she said. “I can remember when we used to send an order to Eaton’s and we’d expect it back in a week,” she said.

15 games this season that the Jr. C’s have been held to one goal or less. December will be a critical stretch for Dawson Creek, with four of their next seven games at home, and three of those against the rival Fort St. John Huskies. The Huskies sit five wins above the Junior Canucks in the NWJHL standings. The two teams will square off this week in Dawson Creek, with a weeknight matchup on Wednesday, Dec. 2 at Memorial Arena. sports@ahnfsj.ca

The Dawson Creek Junior Canucks were handed their unlucky 13th loss of the season Saturday against the second place North Peace Navigators in North West Junior Hockey League action. The Junior Canucks will next hit the ice Wednesday against the Fort St. John Huskies with puck drop set for 8 p.m. at Memorial Arena.
On November 13, 2015, British Columbia Hydro and Power Authority (BC Hydro) filed the W.A.C. Bennett Dam Riprap Upgrade Project application and statement of capital expenditures with the British Columbia Utilities Commission (Commission) for acceptance pursuant to section 44.2 of the Utilities Commission Act. The proposed W.A.C. Bennett Dam Riprap Upgrade Project (Project) will address inadequate longterm erosion protection of the W.A.C. Bennett Dam located on the Peace River approximately 18 kilometres west of the town of Hudson’s Hope. The Project involves: • replacing portions of the failed rock armour layer, also known as riprap, on the upstream face of the Dam; • development and operation of the Sand Flat quarry to source the required volume of riprap; • transportation by truck of the riprap from the Sand Flat quarry to the Dam; and • temporary stockpiling of riprap near the Dam. Quarry construction is scheduled to start in 2016 which allows for Dam construction to be completed in 2019 and reclamation of the quarry in 2020. The Project cost is estimated at $137.1 million within a range of capital expenditures from $109.7 million (-20%) to $171.4 million (+25%). BC Hydro’s customer rates would initially be impacted in 2018 and for the $137.1 million capital estimate would increase by a maximum 0.18% in 2021. The corresponding maximum rate increase is 0.14% and 0.22% for the -20% and +25% capital cost estimates respectively.

Burns
Burns are very common skin lesions. Location, surface area. depth and cause are what determine the severity of a burn. Burns of course, can be minor but can also be life threatening. Causes The most common causes of burns are scald burns from boiling water and contact with flames. In children. burns most commonly occur in the home and involve scalding from unsupervised casseroles or playing too close to the fireplace. There are however. many other sources that can cause burns: • Hot liquids (the more • Radiation consistent the liquid the • Hot objects more serious the burn) • Chemical products • Electricity Symptoms Burn symptoms vary according to the type of burn. There are three types of burns based on the skin layer affected. The three types of burns are first, second and third degree. First degree burn First degree burns affect the epidermis - the superficial layer of the skin. The skin is usually red and there may or may not be swelling. During the first few days, the area affected may itch. This however, should disappear quite rapidly. First degree burns usually heal within one week and are occasionally followed by a scaling of the skin. There is no scaring. Sunburns or coming into contact with a hot object can cause this type of burn. Second degree burn Second degree burns affect the dermis, burning through the epidermis. The epidermis is therefore completely destroyed and the dermis may be affected in part or in whole. The skin takes on a pinkish color and appears humid and soft and is very painful. Liquid may seep from the skin and blisters may form on the burn. There is a risk of infection since the skin no longer provides a protective barrier. The healing process generally takes 2 to 6 weeks and may leave a scar. Second degree burns may occur as a result of severe sunburn or scalding from boiling water. Third degree burn Also known as carbonization, a third degree burn destroys the epidermis, the dermis and the hypoderm which is the deepest skin layer. Muscles, nerves, tendons and even bones may be affected. This type of burn, over a large surface area, can be life threatening. Affected areas appear white

or brownish. Once the burn has been sustained, there is very little pain since the nerve endings have been destroyed. The area around the burn however, can be very sensitive. The skin, which regenerates at a very slow pace, will be severely scarred. Elderly persons whose sense of touch is damaged or persons suffering from desensitizing diseases are more at risk for this type of burn. Diagnosis The severity of a burn. regardless of its type, takes into consideration the affected surface area and the age of the burn victim. A burn that covers more than 10% of the body requires medical attention. Treatment Treatment varies according to the type of burn. First degree burn 1. Run cool water over the burn for at least 5 minutes or cool with a cold, damp compress. 2. Do not cover or cover with a non adherent sterile dressing. 3. To help the healing process, apply a water-based hydrating lotion. Second degree burn 1. Run cool water over the burn for at least 5 minutes. 2. Remove any clothing that may be in contact with the burn. If a piece of clothing has adhered to the burn area, do not attempt to remove. 3. Cover with a sterile non adherent dressing. 4. To help alleviate the pain, acetaminophen tablets (TylenolTM) may be administered. Third degree burn 1. ••• Do not immerse in cold water ••• 2. Remove any clothing that may be in contact with the burn. If a piece of clothing has adhered to the burn area, do not attempt to remove. 3. Cover burn with a pillow case or bed sheet. 4. Keep the person warm and seek medical care. Note Never apply butter or margarine to a burn. It will not lessen the pain but may in fact increase the burning feeling and will increase the risk of infection. Do not apply ice directly to a burn as it may cause frostbite. r0011010729

The blaze damaged an out-building and several sections of fencing, but did not spread. While the investigation into the cause of the fire is ongoing, it could have been sparked by a cigarette butt in some tall grass nearby, Deputy Fire Chief Bob Fulton told the Alaska Highway News.

Saulteau supports wolf cull, chief says Jonny Wakefield
ALASKA HIGHWAY NEWS SOUTH PEACE — The chief of Saulteau First Nations says he supports the B.C. government's controversial wolf cull, saying the program is needed to shore up declining moose and caribou populations. The cull, which enters its second season this winter, will see around 200 wolves shot from helicopters in hopes of preserving dwindling caribou populations. "Moose, caribou, everything is getting hammered by (wolves)," Saulteau Chief Nathan Parenteau told the Alaska Highway News at a signing ceremony with provincial government ministers Nov. 22. Forestry and oil and gas development in the South Peace have opened up the backcountry with roads and clearings, making ideal hunting grounds for wolves. Rightof-ways and roads built for the Site C dam are expected to put even more pressures on ungulate populations in the region. "Site C isn't even done yet," Par-
enteau said. "Oil and gas and forestry, and the access that's created for wolves, creating new roads and pathways for them to follow, it's allowed their populations to skyrocket. "It's a matter of balance," he said. "We've put it into an area where it's unbalanced, now we have to bring that balance back. Part of that may be a cull." Seventy-three wolves were killed in the first season, well below the target of 200. A ministry spokesperson said unseasonably light snow last year made it difficult to track the predators. Critics say the cull doesn't address habitat loss, which they believe is the root of the problem. Singer Miley Cyrus emerged as one of the most visible opponents of the cull in September, when she made a well-publicized trip to the Great Bear Rain Forest. While there are no culls planned in that region, the conservation group that arranged the trip said the singer met with local First Nations opposed to the grizzly bear hunt. At the event in Saulteau earlier

Tip of the Week
SECOND-HAND SMOKE CAN HARM YOUR PETS TOO! Irritation from cigarette smoke can cause redness of the eyes and make conditions such as bronchitis, allergies or asthma worse for your pet. When pets, especially cats, groom themselves they ingest toxic particles that land on their coats. Several studies show a link between second hand smoke and pet cancers such as lymphoma in cats and nasal tumors in dogs. Wood smoke can also contribute to “unhealthy” air in the home. It is hard to quit smoking, but your pets health is one more factor to consider. r001948393

Dawson Creek Canucks forward Chris Stevens had a record setting night Thursday with nine points against the Fort St. John Flyers in North Peace Hockey League action.
Easy, Relaxed Spaces
DAWSON CREEK- Thursday night was a wild evening at Memorial Arena. The Dawson Creek Senior Canucks put the boots to the Fort St. John Senior Flyers 10-5 in North Peace Hockey League action. Not only was the win huge for the confidence of the Canucks, who beat their Alaska Highway rival twice last week, it was also a record setting performance. Chris Stevens had nine points in the game, the four goal, five assist performance was the most any player has put up against Fort St. John in league history. Stevens leads the NPHL with nine goals this season. Jeff Taylor also had a six-point night, with two goals and four assists. Taylor now sits third in league scoring
with three goals an 12 assists on the year. It’s also the first time in 10 years that the Flyers have allowed 10 or more goals. In the 33rd game between the two teams, it was the first that Dawson Creek has ever put up 10 goals in a game against the Flyers. The Canucks scored their 10 goals on just 37 shots. Lincoln Carriere grabbed the win for Dawson Creek with 26 saves on 31 shots. Travis McLean was handed his first NPHL loss with the Flyers, allowing all 10 goals. The Canucks will next hit the ice for a home game on Saturday, Dec. 5 against the Manning Comets. sports@ahnfsj.ca

So long, Fran, and thanks for all the mail Continued from Page A3
“We used to have the airmail here,” she also recalled. “We tied the bags out at night and they’d take them from the Windsor Hotel up to Fort St. John to the airport. It went straight to Vancouver, Victoria, Edmonton, Calgary, Winnipeg, Toronto or Montreal.” Now, she says, “it all goes to Edmonton, is sorted there” and then comes back to post office’s like the one downtown. It’s not any better or worse,
just different, she noted. Although she is happy to be retiring, Turner will miss interacting with people. “They get so they’re almost like family,” she said. “It gives you a perfect opportunity here to intermingle with the tourists because they come to buy stamps.” She recounted one story about a letter carrier from Germany that dropped by. Turner exchanged a Canada Post pen for his letter carrier’s tie. She is hoping to spend some more time in her garden this summer, and plans to take computer courses at Northern Lights

College in the spring. “I am not very computer literate so I would like to take some time and learn it,” she said. Turner leaves an industry that has changed a lot since her first day. It’s a job that, in some ways, was held in a higher regard in years past. “It’s a different attitude that people have,” she noted. “Not all of them.” But, “the general public doesn’t see you like they used to.” Turner plans to come back as a member of the public and give her former coworkers a bit of guff from time to time. All in good fun, of course. dcreporter@dcdn.ca
