Local News Community comes together for literacy Farmington and Bessborough raise more than $7,000 for books at Parkland Elementary Mike Carter
ALASKA HIGHWAY NEWS
Parents and community members in Farmington and Bessborough came together to raise more than $7,000 for early reading books to be used in Mrs. Weingart's Kindergarten Grade 1 class at Parkland Elementary School. "They're a set of books that reading specialists tote as good ones to use with new readers," Parkland Principal Joanne Dueck said. The books look no different
than any other children's book, but are designed to help gauge a child's reading skills to help teachers evaluate literacy levels. That is why they are sometimes called benchmark books. "They are designed to be progressive," Dueck said. "They have a lot of the patterns, high frequency words and engaging characters that kids like to help them read." The pictures and characters encourage the kids to pick up on what's being told in words, allowing them to draw the connection.
As a student progresses through each level, they become less reliant on the illustrations, and keep engaged through words. "They start with these really dense pictures," Dueck explained. "Once they catch on, they realize they're supposed to
look at the picture and get the meaning in their head, then look at the letters to double check that meaning." Weingart saw the need for the books in her classroom and approached the school. There was Continued on Page 9

Just three weeks ago, runners sat shivering on the starting line in four inches of snow, most likely wondering what the heck they had signed up for. The crazy group of cross country runners that day were back at Bear Mountain Nordic Ski Trails just outside of Dawson Creek on Saturday to compete in the high school provincial zone qualifying race for the North Central Region. 96 runners in total raced throughout the morning looking to book their ticket to provincials in Vancouver on Nov. 7,this time with no snow underneath their feet.

with the team of junior girls from Dawson Creek Secondary School qualifying for provincials in the first race of the day. Ashley Wangler and sister Shauna were the top finishers for DCSS, coming through the 4.3 kilometre trail run in sixth and seventh place. Sarah Shoemaker finished 11th and Jenna Mezaros finished 15th to help the team meet their goal of a trip to Vancouver. “The hope was we would have at least a few go to provincials and hopefully the team. I think that was the overall goal,” Emma Casey said, who took on the role of de facto spokesperson for her team as they huddled together for an interview. “We also like to push each other a little bit. We encourage each other.” Continued on Page 13

Every now and again, growing communities need to talk about themselves and refocus old ideas about where they're headed. That's exactly what happened in Dawson Creek last Saturday. Leaders from the city have been gathering for the past five months as part of the Banff Centre's Peter Lougheed Leadership Institute. Those sessions culminated in a community forum at the Calvin Kruk Centre for the Arts. "It's about inviting all kinds of diverse voices into the conversation on the community and considering what kind of cross roads the city might be facing," Laurie Edward of the Banff Centre said. "Then, we look to find different ways in which people might imagine the future they'd like to see in the community and just begin to have conversations about
that." Saturday involved break-out sessions that the community at large took part in alongside those who had been participating in the five months of background sessions with the Banff Centre. One issue that came to the fore was the lack of a definitive way for co-ordinating how residents communicate Cont. Page 12

"I wrote the Parental Advisory Committee (PAC) a letter with a wish list of books," she said. "We tossed around some ideas and that night, one of the moms that was at the meeting came to my house with a $1,000 cheque." Impressed with the support from the community, Weingart's husband decided he would also donate $1,000. "That's when I knew this could work," she said. From there, the money kept pouring in. Another teacher at the school approached her husband who owns a company and brought back $500. The Bessborough Community Club donated $500. Another mother phoned after hearing about the fundraiser and came up with a cheque for $1,500. Over the Thanksgiving weekend, the topic came up at the dinner table and families started chipping in even more money. In total, more than 60 sets of books have been purchased to help young readers at the school gain literacy and comprehension.

It’s not just schools that bring in donations—businesses and people in communities across Canada can also take part in the program. “It’s a good thing to start the school year, “ Principal Amanda Roberts said. “It allowed the students to realize and appreciate what we have.” The school will take part in the program again next year, Roberts said. It will also be collecting nonperishable items during the upcoming Christmas concert.

TransCanada aims to reroute pipeline amid Aboriginal concerns Jonny Wakefield
ALASKA HIGHWAY NEWS
TransCanada is applying to reroute a portion of its Coastal Gaslink Connector, a natural gas pipeline that would run from Dawson Creek to Kitimat. Faced with concerns over wa-
ter quality in the Morice River in northwest B.C., TransCanada has asked for permission to shift 55 kilometres of the line around five kilometres north. According to a press release, the reroute is being considered after concerns from the Wet’suwet’en
First Nation. While the First Nation has signed a benefits agreement with TransCanada, the pipeline has been blockaded by the Unist'ot'en, a subset of the Wet’suwet’en. In a TransCanada release in August, chiefs of the Wet’suwet’en took issue with "recent media

From the P harmacist’s File Insomnia Everyone experiences restless nights from time to time, nights when sleep is elusive. This is normaL But, when a person can’t sleep night after night and the lack of sleep prevents the person from functioning properly during the day, it is a problem and is called insomnia. The severity of the insomnia is assessed with regard to the symptoms experienced during the day, and not with regard to what happens-or-not during the night. Thus insomnia cannot be measured in terms of hours of sleep. If the person has no symptoms during the day, then the lack of sleep is just fine. All of us have our own needs when it comes to sleep. While some of us require at least 8 hours of sleep, others get along just fine on 4. Usually as people age they need less and less sleep. Typically, the perception of not having slept all night is due to frequent awakenings rather than a real lack of sleep. Types of insomnia: Temporary insomnia • Lasts a few days; usually caused by normal life stress or illness. Short-term insomnia • Lasts from a few weeks to a month or two; usually caused by severe stress, such as the death of a loved one, divorce, or job loss. Chronic insomnia • Also called long-term insomnia, may last several months or even years. Most often caused by depression, but also by substance abuse (alcohol, stimulant drugs), or certain chronic illnesses, such as chronic pain. TRUE OR FALSE Everyone needs 8 hours of sleep. FALSE.Many adults need only 4 to 6 hours of sleep a night, while others need 10. When calculating how much sleep you are getting, do not forget to include naps. Insomniacs have difficulty falling asleep. SOMETIMES.Some people have difficulty falling asleep, some have frequent sleep interruptions during the night, and others just wake up too early in the morning. Only when the person has difficulty functioning properly during the day can this be called insomnia. People should try to sleep for a longer period when they want to catch up on their sleep. FALSE. There is no way to catch up on lost sleep.
Srinivas Chalagalla B.Pharm., PhD
The purpose of sleep is to regenerate and repair. There is nothing to gain by sleeping more than 10 to 12 hours at a time. In fact, sleep that lasts more than 12 hours is usually less effective. It is better to get up and take a nap during the day, if necessary, than to sleep more than 12 hours. Tips for beating insomnia. Here are a few suggestions to help you sleep better: • drink a glass of warm milk before going to bed; • exercise regularly but not late in the evening; • engage in relaxing activities, such as reading or listening to music, prior to bedtime; • make the bedroom quiet, dark, and comfortable; • go to bed only when tired; • wear a mask or use earplugs; • do not stay in bed if you can’t fall asleep; • go to bed and get up at about the same time every day; • adopt a simple bedtime routine to prepare for sleep; • avoid alcohol before bedtime; • avoid caffeine or other stimulants in the evening; • avoid daytime naps. If necessary, nap for no more than 30 minutes, early in the afternoon; • eat lightly before going to bed; • check with your pharmacist to determine if your medication is the source of your sleep problems. Sleep Medication While there are several drugs (hypnotics) that can help you find sleep, these agents cannot fix the root of the problem. The most effective and safe products are available with a prescription. They are used over short periods of time and the smallest possible dose is prescribed. They are safe and effective for occasional use only. Sleep aids should not be used every night and for prolonged periods (more than 3 weeks). They are useful only when the problem is temporary. For chronic insomnia, the first step is to investigate for the cause. Meanwhile, you may need to learn some relaxation techniques, start an exercise program, but avoid using sleep aids excessively.

For homeowners: • Remove items from your yard or porch that might trip a child. • Sweep wet leaves from your steps and driveway. • Use alternative to candles in your pumpkins, such as a flashlight or a battery-operated candle. • Remember that some children have food allergies.

Halloween can be a fun and exciting time for kids. These safety tips for parents, children and homeowners will help keep everyone safe and happy this Halloween. For parents: • Place strips of reflective tape on the back and front of costumes, so that drivers can better see your child. • Dress your child for the weather. Add layers if needed. • Remove make-up before bedtime to prevent possible skin and eye irritation. If your child is going out without an adult: • Make sure your child is in a group of at least 3 people. • Give them a flashlight. A cell phone is also a good idea if you have one. • Discuss in advance the route they should follow. Ask them to call you if they plan to go on a street that isn’t on the route. • Set a curfew (and make sure they have a watch with them). • Tell your children not to eat anything until they get home. For children and youth: • Carry a white bag or pillowcase for your candy, and add some reflective tape. • Don’t visit houses that are not well lit. Never go inside a stranger’s house. • Don’t criss-cross back and forth across the street. Work your way up one side of the street, and then start on the other.

All proceeds go to the Dawson Creek & District Hospital Foundation.
Continued from Page 8 with each other. "That sort of tended to be a common theme that emerged," participant Jerimy Earl said. "A basic desire for a more central resource for accessing the various things that go on in town." Judy Kucharuk, another participant in the forum and the leadership program, echoed that theme. "People feel that we need to have better ways of communicating within our city," she said. "It's often very difficult for folks when they move into a new community to be able to reach out and connect with people." The conversation around improvements to the city never really ends, but instead gets pushed in different directions and evolves in one way or another. "(We need to) give ideas room to breathe and develop on their own, and not try to impose structure," Earl said, "I don't think the goal for this kind of project is for there to be an end... I think the idea is for it to be a kind of living enterprise that continues on." Participants in the leadership program will present to city council at a later date, possibly with an eye to updating the community vision. "(It'd) be nice to share that with council," Kucharuk said. "(To) say look, these are our hopes and dreams, our fears and wishes and the possibilities we see and perhaps we should look at changing the vision of our community so that we can better align ourselves to who is living here now." dcreporter@dcdn.ca

Continued from Page 4 That camaraderie she described was also evident for DCSS cross country coach Eric Wolf, who explained how relying on your teammates has been huge for his group. “Yes it is, and it’s part of the development with cross country,” he said. “We really have that here, although they run individually, there is that team component and we see it in may of the other races. Even if you are not on the same team you are cheering on the person beside you…that’s part of the great nature of cross country and makes it really fun to do.” The junior boys didn’t have the overall team strength to qualify for provincials, Adam Wangler finished second with a huge push in the final 400 metres of the race to take over the position with his boisterous teammates screaming encouragement from the sidelines. “I really wanted to just pass him and get that one extra spot,” he said. He was also careful to temper expectations for the upcoming trip to provincials, where the starting line could have more than 300 runners compared to the 30 or so at Bear Mountain. “Not really, just want to do my best,” he added. Teammate Tyler McElderry will also make the trip to provincials with a fourth place finish in the event and explained it was Adam that pushed him to finish as quickly as he did. “I think it was a beautiful race,” he said. “I was going for top 15, so I easily met my goal. I felt like that was my best race all season. I can always seen Adam in the race, but still quite a ways behind. And so this race I wanted to keep up with him and I think I did that.” Wolf, who took the team to provincials last year said he was extremely proud of how his entire team raced on Saturday and knows they will be ready come provincials. “From what I heard from the other runners they were happy with the course,” Wolf said. “I’m pleased with my team, we had a big group and some great finishes out there. Adam coming from third and suddenly in the last 400 metres just running past, that was just incredible. I’m looking at about 8 to 10 kids going to provincials. So I’m extremely pleased with the season.” sports@ahnfsj.ca

Ronald John Stanek
Ronald John Stanek passed away October 7, 2015 in Dawson Creek at the age of 83. He was born April 10, 1932 in Rosetown, Saskatchewan. At age 4, his mother died leaving his sisters and aunt and uncle as his caregivers. Ron attended a small country school and played hockey, baseball and raced stock cars. After graduation, Ron obtained his journeyman electrician certificate. Ron wired the family farm with underground wiring, very innovative in the early 50’s. He took a job running cat and loved it, helping build the road to Diefenbaker Dam. In 1956, Ron married Donna Smith, six years later they moved with their three sons, Don, Tim, and Greg, to Farmington, BC. Tracy and Michele were born after the move completing the family. In addition to farming, Ron had a forge and did electrical work and welding for neighbors. He was involved with the Farmington Hall and did the metal work for the cairn at Mathews Park. He often worked off the farm driving cat, painting, and welding. Ron was a jokester and many fell victim to his practical jokes. He was a huge sports fan and loved hockey, going on many road trips to watch the grandkids play. Ron enjoyed curling and was the ultimate Blue Jays fan. He was an inventor, always with something in various stages of construction or repair in the shop. Ron was reluctant to say something needed replacing as he preferred to repair. After farming, Ron drove bus to Tumbler Ridge as well as the city transit bus and worked in the maintenance department of Northern Lights College. He drove cat for his son Greg’s logging operations. In 2009, Ron and Donna moved into Dawson Creek, continuing to enjoy time spent with family and friends. During his illness, the family cared for Ron at home and would like to thank the home care nurses, especially Julia, Niamh, and Reilly, for their excellent care, support, and compassion. Ron was predeceased by his parent, Frank and Annie Stanek, siblings Gladys (Malcolm) Kemp, Ruby (Pete) Arsenault, Norm Stanek, brothers-in-law Walter Hayes and Mick Smith, and sister-in-law Edna Hay. He is survived by his wife Donna, children Don (Theresa), Tim (Gisele), Greg (Louise), Tracy (Tracy), Michele (Darcy), 18 grandchildren and their partners, 7 great-grandchildren, and a large and precious extended family. A memorial service was held October 13, 2015 at the United Church in Dawson Creek, officiated by Reverend Marilyn Carroll. Inurnment followed in the Brookside Cemetery. The Farmington Farmerettes provided a lovely lunch in the church hall.
