Volunteer ‘burn out’ puts DC archives in jeopardy
South Peace Historical Society pushes council for full time archivist
Volunteer burn out is put-ting the long-term viability of Dawson Creek’s archives in doubt, members of the South Peace Historical Society told city council Monday.
The group is pushing the city to put up $50,000 for a full-time professional archivist to man-age the society’s collection of books, newspapers, documents and photographs.
Volunteers are putting in around 110 hours a week at the archives, located in the base-ment of the Calvin Kruk Centre, which opened last fall.
Caitlyn Triebel, a member of the historical society, told council that an “extensive” project to digitize the archive's collection is taking its toll on members.
“Quite frankly, a lot of peo-ple are getting burnt out,” she said Monday.
The group is asking council to consider a new fee-for-service in its 2016 budget for an archi-vist.
F r a n k Breault, an-other histori-cal society m e m b e r , told council that Dawson Creek has be-come the de facto centre for historical artifacts in
the South Peace. The group has around 30 requests for grants out to various organizations, and while some money has come in, the group needs sus-tainable funding.
He added that Peace River and Grande Prairie both em-ploy full-time archivists to look after the towns’ historical re-cords.
The Fort St. John museum
has a curator who does some archival work, but not a full-time trained archivist, Breault said.
Faced with a deficit—known as the fiscal gap—it seems un-likely the current council would support a new annual expendi-ture of $50,000.
However, Coun. Charlie Parslow noted that the city paid for a “first-rate” facility for the archives when it renovated the Kruk Centre.
The new office has comput-ers, workspace and a climate-controlled room for historical documents.
He said council should look at the books next year to see if money could be found.
“We’re at a point where council needs to make a deci-sion: do we wish to be a cen-tre for archives?” he said.
“Because we need to have this professional support.”
Council will consider the re-quest in 2016. [email protected]

Stew Flinn stood with blueprints in hand, smiling as the lumber load ar-rived and was placed near an empty lot in Dawson Creek’s Walter Wright Pioneer Village.
The president of the South Peace Historical Society was watching 14 students from Northern Lights College and their instructor getting busy, tap-ing off where a new building founda-tion will be laid.
Flinn is seeing his plan come to life. The college has partnered with the
society and the Mile Zero Park to build a new complex for Pioneer Village that should be open this spring.
A replica bank, doctor’s office, newspaper building and hair salon will be built from the ground up by the school’s carpentry students—a unique chance for them to gain some hands-on experience.
These students could go on to have long careers and yet never have a chance to build another building quite like this one.
“It’s about the 1930s era, that’s what we’re heading for,” Flinn said.
“We were very fortunate on the ma-terials. We got a gentleman in Grande Prairie to make all the wood; shiplap lumber for drop siding, which was standard at the time.”
In all, the building will only cost about $20,000 of the society’s own
money once donations for materials and cash are accounted for.
And then, of course there’s the col-lege, which will be using their class time to build it.
“We’re pretty dang happy to have them do it,” Flinn said.
The hope is to have the building in lock-up stage (enclosed) by Christ-mas, carpentry instructor Ryan Mayoh said as he took a break from giving stu-dents some on-site instruction Thurs-day afternoon.
“We’ll start full on Monday digging the hole for the foundation. We have all our own equipment, so the stu-dents will get to go first hand, running the equipment—the skid steer, (the) excavator—and learning how all that
stuff works.”Some of the students are in
dual credit programs, coming from Fort St. John and Dawson Creek schools.
These Grade 12 students will Continued on Page 10

The late Walter Wright, joined Rotary in 1953. He became treasurer in 1954, and a year later was given the dual executive position as Secretary-treasurer. He held that position until 1962. Walter was president for the 1967-68 term, and served as District Governor for 1971-72. “Mr. Rotary,” as he is familiarly known, served his club and the community well. He was an alderman, a member of the Junior Chamber of Commerce, Senior Chamber of Commerce, and a member of the Historical Society.
Among his community achievements was the establishing of the NAR Station as a museum and the founder of the Walter Wright Pioneer Village.

Cab operators would be required to standardize the appearance of their ve-hicles and could face new fines under a new bylaw before Dawson Creek city council.
The city is considering an update to its taxi bylaw, after hearing concerns from a local operator about how non-standard cabs were affecting business.
If adopted, cab companies in the city would be required to standardize the decals, colour and striping of their vehicles.
The bylaw would also force compa-nies to stop their meters after arriving at the destination “to accommodate un-loading or handling of payment.” New fines for companies that fail to adhere to the rules are also being considered in the bylaw.

Compression stockings are used to relieve symptoms of venous insuffi ciency and to help prevent related complications. It is important, fi rst and foremost, to understand the diff erence between compression stockings and support stockings. Support stockings are only used as a preventive measure when one’s legs feel heavy or tired, whereas compression stockings have a therapeutic eff ect. They exert pressure on the leg veins and help blood fl ow back towards the heart. They reduce pain, slow disease progression and delay the onset of complications.
Compression stockings are divided into 4 diff erent categories, based on the level of compression they exert:
• Class 1 - 20 to 30 mmHg• Class 2 - 30 to 40 mmHg• Class 3 - 40 to 50 mmHg• Class 4 - 50 to 60 mmHgSupport stockings usually exert about 15 to
20 mmHg of pressure.Class 3 and 4 stockings are mainly reserved
for more severe cases of venous insuffi ciency.When to wear themUnless told otherwise, it is not recommended
to wear these stockings continuously. Furthermore, it is pointless to wear them when exercising or lying down, since venous return is usually not an issue in these situations. Wearing them when sitting or standing for prolonged periods is what is most important. They are particularly benefi cial for people with occupations that require them to stand in one position (hairdresser, sales associate, nurse), or who travel long distances by car, train or plane, for example.
Choosing the right stockingThe following measurements should be
taken by a specialist before you purchase your stockings: the circumference of the foot at its thickest point, the circumference of the heel, of the thigh and of the knee, as well as the distance between the crotch and the ground. The discomfort associated with wearing
Compression stockingsSrinivas
ChalagallaB.Pharm., PhD
compression stockings is most often the result of ill-fi tting or ill-adjusted stockings. Although you may be somewhat bothered when you fi rst start wearing your stockings, they will soon bring you some relief and begin to feel more comfortable.
The level of compression best suited for your needs should be determined by your doctor, and will be based on your medical condition.
How to put them onTo make putting on your stockings as
easy as possible and to maximize their eff ectiveness, it is recommended that you put them on as soon as you get up in the morning. You may fi nd it easier to wear rubber gloves when putting them on as they will give you more gripping power. Be careful not to damage your stockings with jewellery, watches and long nails.
Here are some step by step tips on how to put on your compression stockings:
1. Lie down and lift your leg2. Fold the top half of the sock down to
the heel3. Slide your foot into the sock to the heel4. Roll the folded top half back up towards
the ankle, then up the rest of the leg without pulling
5. Adjust the sock with the palm of your hand, without pulling
6. Make sure there are no foldsIf you fi nd it diffi cult to unroll the stocking,
put some talcum powder on your foot and leg before putting on the stocking. Special accessories are also available to help you put on your compression stockings.
Care InstructionsHand wash your stockings with a mild soap
and hang them to dry. Machine washing and drying is not recommended.

When Col. Chris Hadfield comes to
town, he means business. According to those who spent time
with the renowned Canadian astronaut during his 24 hours or so in Dawson
Creek last week, Hadfield is meticulous in his planning and forthright about what you can expect from him.
“Pretty near every minute of his time was booked from the minute we (picked) him up from the airport until we (dropped) him off the next morning,” said Dale Campbell, a Ro-
tarian and co-chair of the District 5370 Rotary Conference organizing commit-tee. “He’s a very organized individual and he wants to make sure that we get our money’s worth.”
Of course, Hadfield is used to having every minute detail planned ahead of time to avoid all possible error. After all, you don't want things going sideways when you're in space.

Local NewsFrom outer space to the Twittersphere, renowned Canadian astronaut has passion to explore, sharetion at the Encana Events Centre Satur-day night with endless feedback from his microphone, he appeared a bit peeved. But like a pro, he made it part of the act.
“I came here to explore the idea of: ‘What If?’” he began, referring to the con-ference theme as the mic squealed. “What if we didn’t have feedback?”
The audience laughed. It was that friendly jab that let us know Hadfield is able to connect with just about anyone. On top of the well-known abilities that made him commander the International Space Station (ISS), he’s a people person as well.
Over the course of the next 60-or-so minutes, the packed Encana Centre crowd was taken on a journey through space, and the colonel did not disappoint.
Beyond the need for perfection, Had-field harbours a passion for learning and exploration, and it's something he wants to share.
During his stay as commander of the International Space Station from Dec. 21, 2012 to May 13, 2013, Hadfield carried out 130 experiments in 146 days, including a stretch that February when he and his crew conducted a record-setting 71 hours of research. Cont. on Page 15

Graham came away from his home-ice Canada Winter Games appearance last February with a gold medal in the 500m, a moment the 19-year-old Daw-son Creek native still thinks about to-day.
But life has to move on, and for Gra-
ham the new focus in 2015 is becom-ing the best athlete he can be, and that started in Calgary on the weekend with the 2015 Fall Classic at Calgary’s Olym-pic Oval, where Graham has been train-ing this summer.
He broke three personal bests: in the 500m (36.08), 1000m (1:11.61) and 1500m (1:55.06) and said it was a big ac-complishment to start the season that way, but knows he can still go faster.
“I wasn’t really expecting personal bests,” Graham said, before correcting himself. Cont. Page A11

Continued from Page 3earn part of their college credits on the proj-
ect, getting first and second-year hours and theory.
Thanks to this opportunity, they’ll be second or third-year apprentices when they graduate.
“This is unique,” Mayoh said. “This is the only college I know that does a project like this where we go every year and build a project of (this size).”
Normally, he says, students would do a six-week in-school session, and then apprentice at a job where they would get all their hands-on experience.
“Now, they are getting all their hands on right at school, right from the ground level, it’s pretty neat,” Mayoh said.
The students will work Monday to Friday, six hours a day, until the building is locked up, be-fore returning to class to do book work.
Flinn says the beauty of this project is that all of the circa-1930s equipment needed to out-fit and decorate the interior is already stowed away. Now, he says, people will be able to see it and enjoy it.
“It’s been an ongoing plan,” he said. “I am just thrilled about this building. It’s going to be right on the main boardwalk. People can’t walk by and not see it.”
New careers, old buildings
It may have been a trial run for Zone Provincial Championships later this month, but the 50 plus athletes at the annual Dawson Creek Sneak were deal-ing with more than just a new course when they organized at the start line on Saturday.
It was minus one and there was at least a few inches of snow on the ground at the Bear Mountain Nordic Ski Trials and although it seemed like it at times, skiing wasn’t on the agenda for the an-nual cross country event.
“Considering the lovely conditions,” Dawson Creek Secondary School cross country coach Eric Wolf said with a cold chill in his voice and as much sarcasm as he cold muster.
“It went quite well, we don’t usually have a big turnout for our elementary races which is not surprising, especially since our elementary series is going. Re-ally good turnout from my team, and it’s the first race for Fort St. John and Tumbler Ridge students got a chance to come to…It’s great for them to get a chance to be on the course…this was a great experience.”
Wolf added that the conditions on the trails Saturday were less than ideal and in difficult weather, it’s all about preparation.
“You plan your warm up and keep warm really…in these kind of condi-tions you just want to keep your body warm and stay warm as long as you can,” he said.
“I love a good race like this every once in a while because it teaches them… now you need to wear gloves, you need to wear a hat, you need to bring these things so that’s more of the lesson.”
The race was broken up into two categories, first 14 students ran 1.6 kilo-metres in the elementary category, with Emalee Chapple of Fort St. John coming out with the top time of seven minutes and 52 seconds. Drake Horseman was second with a time of 8:04 and John Gar-wah was third in 8:07.
In the combined junior and senior high school race, in the 4.3km distance, Jordan Lundstrom had the top time of 16:36 and Ashley Wangler had the top fe-male time in 20:07. Hannah Lundstrom was second in the Jr. high girls race with a time of 20:46 and Kenzie Chillcott from Dr. Kearney Middle School was third in 21:42. Adam Wangler of DCSS was the
second Jr. boy to finish in 17:06 and Dario Staples finished third in 17:07.
Shauna Wangler was to top senior girl, finishing the 4.3km race in 20:19. Jaston Stockall was second with a time of 22:10 and Savanna Bice finished in 22:53.
There was some confusion in the 6.3km race for the senior boys, as several ran more than the required distance and a few ran just short of the distance. Tyler McElderry from DCSS ended with the best time of 29:56. Chris Nelisson fin-ished second in 32:37 and Branson Tuf-ford had a time of 32:39.
Overall, Wolf thought his team ran well and is in a good situation to finish the season strong.
“I have a pretty good plan about what to expect to do [over the next three weeks],” he said. “They are working hard, their running form has really im-proved and they are getting faster… a bit harder workouts and get a bit more speed out of them. The girls are running quite well and as a team they are really cohesive together.”

Cont. from A8“In a way I was because this was the first time
I’ve trained in Calgary for the whole summer and I was feeling a lot stronger. But in terms of skat-ing technically well and touching race speed for the first time, I wasn’t sure how it would go so I was pretty excited... I think there’s still a lot (of time) to come off.”
Graham topped his best ever time in the 500m by only .15 seconds, but was more than a second faster than his best time of 37 seconds in Fort St. John at the Canada Winter Games last year. In the 1000m he was also about a half second faster and he was more than a second better than his best 1500m time.
Graham has been building on his success last season while training full-time at the Olympic Oval with the Canadian National Long Track team as part of the development/NextGen pro-gram, and it was that work he put in this summer that helped him achieve the early season posi-tive results.
“We did a lot of aerobic power through July and this month as well, August was kind of a vol-ume block,” he said.
“We’ve been training right up to this competi-tion, training through it basically. I think we will taper off a bit before the World Cup Trials and hopefully skate faster at that meet.”
That work helped Graham improve his big-gest weakness: fitness.
“One of my main weaknesses was just fitness and I’m in a group this year with a lot of the guys who are better at long distance and pretty strong guys so it feels good to be able to start to keep up with them a bit more or do as well as they do in practice, it’s pretty motivating. They push me to dig deep and get everything out of practice,” he said.
The World Cup Selections will be the first true test for Graham, which get underway on Oct. 22 in Calgary.
“For me, obviously I want to see how well I can do at the competition but I’m kind of just tak-ing this year to put no pressure on myself to see where I rank compared to some of the older guys and have fun with it,” he said.
“Right now it’s mostly just personal goals and times that I’d like to see and technical things in my races, like how I execute my races. I’d just like to tighten up those things and become a better athlete and racer overall.”
Dawson Creek native Braden Clouthier, who is also in the program, broke a personal best of his own, racing a 3:57.33 in the 3000m. Clouthier was one of four skaters top their personal bests in that distance last weekend.

Local NewsTwo Dawson Creek home invasions could be linked: police
Two home invasions that took place in Dawson Creek last week are likely linked to the struggle for con-trol of the city's drug trade, RCMP say.
Police revealed on Monday that a home on the 900 block of 102 Avenue came under attack Sept. 22 when three men kicked in the door and gained entry.
This came before multiple bullets were sprayed at a duplex on 119th Avenue early Friday morning as sev-
eral people tried to force entry into a home on the 1000 block of that street around 6 a.m.
The victims of both home inva-sions are known to police, and inves-tigators believe both incidents were targeted.
It’s not yet clear if the two are con-nected, although police believe they could be.
“We believe they are connected, but we can’t say 100 per cent for sure,” Sgt. Ed Reinink told the Alaska Highway News. “Our victims aren’t really forthcoming so we don’t have a lot of information.”
Police did recover evidence from both scenes that will be sent away for forensic analysis.
“It’s all part of the ongoing strug-gle for control of the drug trade,” Reinink added, saying it was related to the same "drug war" that involved an incident in Dawson Creek on Feb. 21 when a man was abducted while walking along 17 Street. The man was taken to the Radar Lake gravel pit where he was shot in the legs mul-tiple times.
Police are continuing their investi-gation into both home invasions. Al-though they believe the crimes to be gang related, police are not willing to publicize the names of the suspected
criminal gangs carrying out the acts for fear that they may "go under-ground," Reinink said.
Police add that these incidents pose a serious risk to public safety.
“These idiots are spraying bullets on a house, they may not (hit) the in-tended target,” Reinink said. “There is a risk to the public in the sense that these people have no discretion when they do target people.”
The groups carrying out these acts are believed to be tied with the trade of several illegal substances in Daw-son Creek, including marijuana, co-caine, fentanyl, methamphetamines and heroin.

Glenn McTavish, a lifelong resident of Dawson Creek, B.C. passed away on Sunday, September 20, 2015 in Dawson Creek at the age of 92 years.
Glenn was born on August 17, 1923 in Cedarville, Ontario to parents Archie and Stella McTavish. Glenn was the oldest of eight children, followed by Howard, Murray, Shirley, Carson, Marnel, Mavis, and Lois.
In 1942 Glenn and his dad Archie headed out to the Peace Country. West of Edmonton they met the Jeannotte boys and a lifelong friendship was born.
In Dawson Creek they hauled supplies up the Alaska highway. By 1943 the rest of the family joined them and the Peace became their home. They left behind the Ontario McTavish clan and the Ireland family in Saskatchewan.
However, the connection was never lost with these families.In 1945, Glenn married Eva Jeannotte. They had six children: Dale,Tiny, Butch,
Lana, Pam and Glenna. Sadly, in 1958 Glenn’s wife Eva passed away. He later married Doris Nelson and her son Terry became part of the family. Many years later, Glenn was remarried to Denice and had a hobby farm at Farmington.
Over Glenn’s lifetime he did many jobs, from trucking, working in sawmills, running a cat, farming at Goodlow and road construction. However, most of Glenn’s life was spent farming.
Glenn was predeceased by his parents Archie and Stella, his siblings Howard, Murray and Carson, his sons Dale and Butch, his son-in-law Rick, and his wives Eva, Doris and Denice.
Glenn is survived by his siblings: Shirley, Mavis, Marnel, Lois and their families, his sisters-in-law Maxine and Vernice, his children: Tiny (Wayne), Lana (Phil), Pam (Kent), Terry (Joan), and Glenna (Ron), daughters-in-law Yvette and Helen, his stepdaughter Laurie, his grandchildren and their spouses: Darren, Tanya, Lisa, Tracey, Troy, Curtis, Jason, Nicole, Mike, Liz, Jesse, Kaitlin, Garret, Emily Rose, Nicholas, Colton, and stepgrandson Devon, his great grandchildren: Cole, Jaden, Amanda, Tanicia, Danai, Megan, Dylan, Dawson, Braidon, Abigail, Laine, Chris, Abby, Clay, Aubrey, Olivia, Sydney, Cooper, Casey, Brodie and Kai, his great great grandson Hudson, along with numerous nieces, nephews, in-laws, extended families, and all who knew and loved him.
A Memorial Service was held on Saturday, September 26, 2015 at 2:00 PM at the South Peace United Church. Reverend Elizabeth Gillot officiated. Interment was held in the Dawson Creek City Cemetery. Friends further shared the day with Glenn’s family for tea at the Sudeten Hall in the Walter Wright Pioneer Village, Dawson Creek, B.C.

Continued from Page 7During his stay as commander of the Interna-
tional Space Station from Dec. 21, 2012 to May 13, 2013, Hadfi eld carried out 130 experiments in 146 days, including a stretch that February when he and his crew conducted a record-setting 71 hours of re-search.
When he wasn’t revealing clues about the possi-ble existence of dark matter, or probing the extreme physical toll that living in microgravity has on the human body, Hadfi eld was reinvigorating people around the world with a sense of adventure as part of a social experiment.
He was sharing photos of what he saw and de-scribing how it made him feel. For Twitter users across the world, it was like a front seat at the peep show.
It was NASA tapping into our everyday lives. The bygone era of the Apollo 11 moon landing (the mis-sion that inspired Hadfi eld to be an astronaut) was once again made relevant, this time through social media.
“This is right on the edge of ‘What If?,’’ he said in Dawson Creek. "What if you could see the whole world?"
From the ISS, “you get a real, direct and un-fettered sense of the age of the world and its gorgeousness,” he said.
Hadfi eld described fl oating through the space station with a loaded camera card in his pocket to a laptop with a "primitive" Internet connection.
Instead of having to keep the magic in his pocket until his return to earth, “I could im-mediately type the words of whatever this pic-ture meant to me and then hit send,” he said.
From a glance out the window, he could see Florida, the Bahamas, and the entire east-ern seaboard up to the Great Lakes. He saw the unique colours of each continent.
“There are glass windows on the fl oor of the ISS so that the whole thing glows with the colours of the world,” he said. “You know immediately when you are over Australia be-cause the whole space station is glowing or-ange, yellow, purple, and red.”
Over the course of his nearly fi ve months in space, Hadfi eld’s Twitter following grew to 1.2 million people.
"We weren't trying to sell or convince any-body of anything," he said. "This was just an invitation to see what I was seeing and feel it the way I was feeling it."
It was a rare and powerful social experi-ment that paid off for NASA. As his Twitter following grew, so did the number of people who were looking at scientifi c data on the ISS
website. “If people take an honest interest in what you’re
doing as another human being, then you will change their behaviour,” he said. “You’ll open up their eyes.”
Since his mission, NASA has refocused its social media strategies, he says.
“They use it really extensively now as a way to let people share in some of the incredible things that are happening.”
His take away? This sort of connectivity and immediate, total ex-
perience is only a hint of what is to come. "Social media is really poorly used," he said.
"We're just starting to understand it. But, it’s an im-mensely powerful communication tool. It’s a de-mocratization of thought all around the world and it’s going to be amazing to watch what it does over the next decade.”
Hadfield’s social experiment
