On a white notepad, Elsie Stein wrote out some of the significant parts of her life in perfectly straight lines of black handwriting. Years ago, local historian Dorothea Calverley suggested she write an autobiography but Stein wasn’t sure that she had stories people would want to read. Holding the brief summary of her life, Stein said it was a good exercise to jog her memory; at 89 years old, there is a lot to remember.

Growing up for a child during the mid-twenties and thirties on a homestead was at times quite difficult. We were a family of six children and learned at a very early age the value of being able to garden and of any other chores such as picking berries and milking cows. Born in 1924, Stein was one of six children growing up on a farm in Sunset Prairie. “I was born in our family between two boys and I was one of the three boys. My oldest sister, she was always helping

mom,” says Stein. “I worked as one of the boys I guess, helping dad fencing and doing different things like that. It was a necessity back in those days, you know? You weren’t born to this world just to be there, you were part of the family and in our family that’s the way we were raised.” Stein says she enjoyed the farm work and was lucky to be strong enough to do it. “Those were good days but they were hard. It was no picnic, that’s for sure, but we en-

in the Peace was posted to watch over. “He thought they were a pretty good bunch of people,” says Stein. “Well, because they were on the enemy’s side doesn’t mean to say they were bad people.” My mother passed away at age forty-one in 1941. I was sixteen years old and with three younger siblings I had many responsibilities. However, we were a close-knit group and went on managing. Dad came home from the Home Guard and kept us all organized. Most of my family live within a twenty mile radius.

“It would have been nice to go the full loop but back in those days there was no way I could do that from 40 miles away,” said Stein. “I always loved school. When I got out of grade eight and then September rolled around and school opened again, I stood in the window and saw all my friends walking to school by our place and I’d stand there feeling really sad because I wanted to go to school, but it was impossible to do so.” Although she would have liked to continue school, Stein is farm from remorseful about the path her life has taken. She says there are a lot of other ways to get an education than going to school, particularly regarding life and how to keep your children happy. “To me, that’s more important than having a certificate on the wall to say I graduated,” she says. My father was a returned Vimy Vet from the first war. He, along with other discharged veterans applied for land in the Sunset Prairie area, commonly known at that time as Township Seventy Nine. Staying on the farm for a number of years he then re-enlisted by joining the Home Guard of the second war. Stein says some men in town came back from the war telling stories and anyone they could that they were a returnman. Her father wasn’t that way at all. “He did not talk very much about the war. He said ‘It was hell while we were in it and I don’t even want to remember it’,” Stein recounts. With a long stretch between his service in the First World War and the Second World War, her father was passed the age of eligibility in the 1940s, so enlisted at home. The Home Guard was responsible for guarding prisoners of war in camps set up in Canada. “After living on the farm for a number of years and settling in as a farmer and making a place for his family he joined the Home Guard,” says Stein. “His responsibility was guarding Japanese prisoners down south in British Columbia and he got to enjoy them very much, there was good people among them.” Stein says her father spoke about really respecting the Japanese people he

joyed it,” she says. “Whatever your lot is, you’re silly if you don’t try to get something out of it. That’s what I think anyway.” I can remember the long hot summers and the longer cold cold winters. My mom was an excellent knitter and good at sewing. Most of our clothing was hand crafted by her. With her home spun wool we were well provided with warm mittens, scarves, socks and sweaters. Taking to knitting and spinning wool, among other duties, Stein says her mother worked very hard as a homesteader’s wife. “They all did but I just felt that she worked a little bit more than the most of them because she would not only attend to the knitting to all of our family but there would be little kids stopping in after school with cold hands and she’d have extra mitts on hand for them,” says Stein. “She was a wonderful knitter.” Stein got into some of her own needlework, although she says she was never as good as her mother. “I can remember us six kids sitting around the kitchen table with the coal oil lamp doing our homework and listening to the click, click, click of her needles,” says Stein. “She sat back in the shadows, she didn’t have to see what she was doing: she knitted. She’d come out there with a pair of mitts in an evening.” Growing up, Stein says Sunset Prairie was a small and very close community. “I can remember when there was no Dawson Creek,” says Stein. “Sunset Prairie was a thriving farming community, you get all those soldiers, young men raising their families. Ended up we had 40 kids in our school - a little one room school.” We lived one mile from the little log school house. One room and one teacher with the responsibility of teaching eight grades. The school was heated with a barrel heater in the corner of the room. At thirty-five below I was very thankful we only had to walk one mile. The school in Sunset Prairie ended at grade eight, with the closest high school at the time being in the developing centre of Dawson Creek.

Let us help you with your New Year Resolution!

During the second period of Friday’s game against the County of Grande Prairie JDA Kings (18-3-0), the Dawson Creek Junior Canucks (1010-0) played what coach Eric Fulton called “one of the best periods we played all year.” And then... “Loco” is the word coach Fulton used to describe the mental state of some of his players after the Kings netted three goals within the first two minutes of the third. After a promising 40 minutes of hockey, the Juniors C’s spiralled towards a 6-2 loss. Among the most loco was Brendan Lazinchuk, one of the main participants in a line brawl that cleared the ice with 11 minutes left in the third. Fulton said the brawl, the second in as many games, highlighted the need for the Junior C’s to toughen up mentally. “They beat us, and they’re not afraid to let you know it,” Fulton said of the chirp-heavy game. “That’s fine, that’s part of the game, but our guys have to be tougher mentally and show them on the ice.” Things could have gone very differently. The Canucks found the back of the net early in the first, only to have the goal disallowed becausethe net was off its moorings. The Kings responded with two goals, and the first period wrapped up 2-0 with Grande Prairie

outshooting the Junior C’s 9-8. In the second, captain Colton Gies beat goalie Andy Gilker on a shot that was assisted by from Ryan Friesen and Justin Greyeyes, making it 2-1 with 13:43 in the period. But then Joel Wamsteeker scored nine seconds into the third, and Dawson Creek collapsed. Corey Wamsteeker followed up on his brother’s goal under a minute later, while Zach Bennett also beat Dawson Creek goalie Josh Round before the period was two minutes old. After the third goal, some pushing in the crease sparked a melee that sent four to the penalty box. Six players from the Kings were also booked for the brawl. The teams recorded a total of 73 penalty minutes apiece, just under the 152 penalty minutes handed out when the two teams met Wednesday. Lazinchuk was particularly unhinged. The defenceman was hauled off by the refs, only to escape their grasp and continue to mix it up with another Grande Prairie player. In all, the affair put him in the box for 16 minutes. “He went loco,” Fulton said. “It was an outburst of frustration. That’s not like him.”

Hunters meet to speak against new allocation Mike Carter - STAFF WRITER

the provincial hunting and trapping advisory committee, Gitscheff said discussions were held about doing away with what are called “accompany to hunt” permits, which allow resident hunters to bring family members along for the kill. “Many of us that live here have relatives or close family members just across the border. We have the opportunity to take them out as a family,” he said. “They want to take that away as well.” Peace River South MLA Mike Bernier and Prince George-Peace River MP Bob Zimmer were both in attendance at the meeting. Bernier noted that he has no idea if the issue will be on the table for the upcoming legislative session, set to begin on Feb. 10. “I have absolutely no idea and the minister has not confirmed to me, whether this [issue] is on the table,” he said, “but it could be. I found out about these allocations at the same time as everybody else did. This has been ongoing for about 15 years and over the last 18 months there has been a lot of discussion in meetings with the minister.” Bernier encouraged residents to bring their concerns about the matter to him so that he can properly address the issue with the minister. Although the matter is a provincial issue, Zimmer said he is behind local hunters. “I am a gun guy, and I support these causes,” he said. “Our ministers can do whatever they want but we are representing you and your interests so let us know what those are.”

It was standing room only at a packed Calvin Kruk Centre in Dawson Creek Tuesday night, as hunters from across the region gathered for an information session hosted by the BC Wildlife Federation regarding recent changes to the province’s hunting allocation policy. The meeting was more of a presentation than an open discussion, but it did still allow a chance for the region’s hunters to crystallize their main message to Forests, Lands and Natural Resources Minister Steve Thompson: don’t “privatize” the province’s wildlife resources. Local hunters have been up in arms since Dec. 10, when proposed changes to the allocation percentages that divide the annual allowable harvest of animals between resident and non-resident hunters were announced. “This decision has been very uncomfortable for [the minister],”said Al Martin, director of strategic initiatives with the BC Wildlife Federation (BCFW), who has attended several meetings with Minister Thompson. Martin notes that increasing the percentage of licenses offered to out-of-province trophy hunters points to a worrying trend of the privatization of the province’s wildlife, a move that creates jobs for a few at the expense of many. “The management of hunting opportunities is much more about economic opportunities for a limited number of people in the guiding sector and it’s more about the environmental, social and cultural importance of the wildlife heritage to the residents of BC. Those are the messages that we need to be sending to all parties provincially and federally,” he said. Under the new policy, non-resident permit allocations would be increased to 40 per cent for grizzly bears, 20 per cent for elk, 25 per cent for moose, 35 per cent for mountain goats and 30 percent for sheep. Several residents noted that guided outfitters are professionals, unlike most resident hunters, and the increase in permits for them could mean fewer animals available for amateur hunters. The BCFW favours a 90/10 per cent split for moose and elk and a 75/25 per cent split for all other animals. “If they legislate [the proposed] splits than the window of opportunity to change them closes,” Martin noted. For Carl Gitscheff, the trend spreads beyond the proposed increases in allocation percentages. At a recent meeting of

Jacob Graham ready to breakout Byron Hackett - Staff Writer

18-year-old Dawson Creek long track speed skater Jacob Graham is poised to have a standout year in 2015. Graham was announced in late December as a member of the B.C. long track speed skating team for the Canada Winter Games.

That accomplishment alone was special for Graham. “I was pretty pumped because I had just missed it by one spot the last time about four years ago,” he said over the phone from Calgary on Wednesday. “I was feeling pretty good about making it but to actually do it was a bit of a relief I guess— it felt good.” But as most athlete’s do, the up and coming speed skater has his sights set higher— a spot on team Canada Junior long track speed skating team is on his mind, which will head to the Junior World Cup Final the same weekend as the Canada Winter Games. “Another goal of mine is to go to Junior World Championships and trials are at the end of the month, so I have still been working super hard to see if I can make that team,” he said. “Getting to wear the team Canada suit and you know, represent your country would be pretty cool.” Graham will try and qualify to wear the maple leaf at the Canada Cup #3 event held in Quebec City starting on January 23. To qualify he will need to be in the top two sprinters, with the best two combined times in the 500 metre and 1000m going to the Junior Worlds. Graham has been one of the fastest junior 500m skaters in Canada so far this season, posting the best time at the Canada Cup #1 in Fort St. John with 0:37,04 seconds. In Calgary this past weekend he continued to post some top times, with the third best time of 0:36,78 on January 4 and then fifth best on January

Local speed skating product Jacob Graham put forth one of the top times at the Canada Cup #1 event at the Pomeroy Sport Centre in the 500m. 5 with a time of 0:36,39. “I’ve done really well. I’ve been at the top of the sprinters for the last little bit. I was just a little bit behind at this competition,” Graham said. “I was just a little bit tired, I missed out on a little bit of training over the Christmas break. I think that in a couple weeks I will be ready to take that spot.” What has lead to Graham’s ascension in the junior speed skating ranks lies in two areas, both revolving around being able to train on a daily basis in Calgary. “I think part of it is just being able to skate everyday with a group. It’s a lot easier to stay motivated. As far as racing goes, how I prepare mentally and how I can push myself in a race mentally has improved quite a bit this year,” he said. Skating everyday along side an Olympic coach doesn’t hurt either, who Graham

credits with everyday improvements along with race preparations. “I have an awesome coach, he went to the Olympics, his name is Brock Miron. He’s awesome. He can get me pumped up for a race— always. I don’t know how he does it. But yeah, he is definitely a great coach and los of great feedback and stuff like that,” Graham said. Either way the next month shakes out for the teenager, he is ready and looking forward to competing on the big stage. “I think both competitions are going to be awesome, this year can’t really go bad for me because if I don’t go to World’s I’m going to Canada Games. Whatever happens I am still going to be positive about everything,” he said.

Trio competes at Mac's tourney

Three hockey players from Dawson Creek played at the prestigious Mac's Tournament in Calgary over the holidays. Byron Hackett - Staff Writer If three’s a crowd, Dawson Creek sent a crowd of players to this year’s famous Mac’s Midget AAA hockey tournament in Calgary from December 26 to January 1. 17-year-old Wesley Shipton was on the men’s side playing for the Cariboo Cougars along with Paige Wards and Tanel Boeckman of the Peace Country Storm on the women’s side. For Shipton, the experience of stepping on to the ice at the ScotiaBank Saddledome in Calgary for the final was enough to make the experience one to remember. Oh it was incredible,” he said. “I’ll remember that for the rest of my life.” His Cougars’ team, which is based out of Prince George got that chance to play on NHL ice by making it to the finals of the tournament where they played the Regina Pat Canadians. The Dawson Creek native continued the thrill by scoring the first goal for his team in the final, another career marker. “Yeah, it was a huge confidence booster that’s for sure,” Shipton said of the

opening goal. “We were playing a good team in Regina, it was a hard battled game and chances were going both ways, could have gone either way.” The hard fought battle ended in a 2-1 double overtime win for the Cougars and Shipton said there were no tired legs coming into the second overtime because of what was at stake. “Once we got to that point, we knew we had already got that far so we had to win it,” he said. 17-year-old Wards played in the tournament on the female side for the third time this season, her second with the Peace Country Storm from Grande Prairie. Although her team didn’t have the greatest tournament (they dropped all three games), Wards said via text on Wednesday the experience was still a special one for her last year of midget hockey. “It was more special this time because it was my last out of three years which meant myself and the other graduating players got to run warm ups and were in charge of getting the girls pumped up and ready to play which I loved!” She said.

“We wanted to make the last time as memorable and awesome as we could for everyone. It was also really cool that the boys team made it this year and got to go! Gave us someone else to cheer for and be proud of.” What made it even more special for Wards was being joined by another Dawson Creek native, defenseman Tanel Boeckman who is in her first year on the storm team. “It’s been fun!” Wards said in a text message about having another team-

mate from the Mile Zero city. “Nice to know we’re making our hometown proud! Someone else that knows what it’s like to move for hockey and had to start fresh on a team, school and with friends like I had to. We know a lot of the same people and have played hockey with many of the same people so it’s nice to have that in common.” sports@ahnfsj.ca

By MALCOLM GUNN WHEELBASEMEDIA.COM

What does the world need with a 300-km-h family car? Maybe it’s about what Dodge needs . . .

e don’t need NASCAR. That was the essence of a decision made by Chrysler Corporation’s management a few years back when it canceled Dodge’s participation in North America’s preeminent stockcar racing series. Back then, it seemed like Dodge might be de-emphasizing performance, but no one would have guessed that the exact opposite would happen . . . with a 707-horsepower four-door family car. Like the related Challenger Hellcat, the Charger version uses a mostly new 6.2-litre V8 engine with a big belt-driven supercharger sitting on top. There might be no practical point to 707 horsepower, but it does make from some good bragging rights, especially when the Dodge Viper sports car makes less power. It’s also how the newly restructured Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) is getting plenty of folks enthused about the Dodge brand that turns 100 in 2015. Maybe that’s the point. Dodge claims that the current Charger was somehow inspired by the second-generation 1968’70 cars. No matter how hard you squint, it’s tough to relate, but the most obvious change for 2015 is a new aero-look nose that replaces the open-mouth grille. It bears some resemblance to that of the compact Dart sedan, actually. A lightweight aluminum hood (with

What does it take to stop a 325 km-h family car? Big Brembo-brand brakes, of course.

Thanks to the right transmission and rear-end gearing — and the torque of the mostly new supercharged 6.2-litre V8 — top speed of the Hellcat is claimed to be 325 km-h.

Fitted out in nature-spa style, with black and white contrasts or cheerful colours, the trendy bathroom exudes style. The latest trends are driven by the desire to purify this room and free it of any superfluous elements. Floating vanities give an impression of opulence and facilitate cleaning.

transparent glass walls. Faucets, whether freestanding or wall-mounted, are definitely the trend for a more streamlined design that is squared and modern. TREND: SPA In this style of bathroom, the use of natural stone for the wall coverings and floor is the preferred option. The craze for square and rectangular shaped fixtures continues. Comfort is an important element of this style, so the installation of underfloor heating and a heated towel rail is essential. The latter device is increasingly popular and is a convenient

TREND: BLACK AND WHITE Black adds drama to otherwise neutral bathrooms and can be used in the ceramics, faucets, accessories, ﬁxtures, or wall colour. Sometimes the colour of the paint is the only way your budget will allow you to add a touch of novelty to the bathroom, but with black, it may be enough. Chic and contemporary, black can enhance the immaculate white of the bath, sink, and toilet by providing a very modern contrast.

TREND: NATURE Creating a bathroom inspired by nature is all about cultivating a Zen atmosphere. The key to this style is natural looking vessel sinks and streamlined open- or waterfall-spout faucets that leave you contemplating the flow of the water and soaking up its power to calm. Wood and plants should be incorporated into this type of design. Moreover, ceramic floor tiles that imitate a barn’s wood floor are a must in a Zen style bathroom.

TREND: COLOURFUL Another big trend this year is to set the mood by adding touches of colour. This mostly involves resin vessel sinks or toilet seats, as well as a variety of accessories in funky colours to set the tone. There’s also the possibility of incorporat-

People of the Peace Cont. from Page 3 she pauses in between her own stories to also fill in information about the smiling faces of her large family. Stein was married twice and had three children with her first husband. “My first marriage was to Wes Fraser, for 25 years, and he passed away with a heart attack,” says Stein. With her first husband, Stein farmed as well as cooking for crews of men at the sawmill business they operated. “Eight to 10 men all the time, baked all your own pies, made all your own bread, we didn’t have a way to run to the corner and get some milk,” says Stein. Although, she says she misses all of the cooking and baking she once did. Agriculture has always been my favourite way of life. Probably because I was born and raised to love the land. it is also very much a necessity as the world needs food. After losing her first husband in 1969 Stein took a job at the Dawson Co-op, moving into an apartment in Dawson Creek as she says driving back and forth to work at the time didn’t suit her. Her children were grown and most of them married by that time. “I worked for a number of years in the Dawson Co-op hardware department,” says Stein. “I was a cashier in there but not just a cashier; I cut linoleum, cut glass, mixed paint and did that kind of work in the hardware.” The Co-op at the time occupied the corner of 102nd and 10 Street, now home to Bing’s Furniture. Stein remembers one of the Dawson Coop’s founding members, Edgar Hauger. “When I was a little girl I’d come all the way from Sunset Prairie, all those 45 miles with my dad for a load of freight and he’d always stop at the Co-op. I walked in the door and there was a long stairway up and I said ‘Dad, who is that?’” Stein recalls, laughing. “He said, ‘that’s Mr. Hauger,’” Stein never told her father how awestruck she had been. While she was working at the Co-op in Dawson Creek, Stein’s father became ill and she moved in to his home in order to take care of him. She says she had been going with Cecil Stein when her father passed away. “I was alone for seven years and I remarried, and his name was Cecil Stein and he was killed in an accident two years later. We were just married for two years,” says Stein. “I’ve been alone ever since.” The two moved into the house she lives in today; a comfortable bungalow in Dawson Creek that she says is in the best part of town, with access to the stores, the hospital and good neighbours. We’ll close with one of my mother’s favourite sayings: “You cannot do a kindness too soon because you never know how soon will be too late.”
