Tip of the Week All ChewToys not equal

r001948318

Chew toys can satisfy your dog’s natural desire to gnaw. Gnawing helps with boredom, massages the gums and keeps teeth clean by removing soft tartar buildup. All chew toys are not created equally though. Bones can break teeth and both bones and rope toys can cause intestinal issues if eaten. Rawhides without knots, non-toxic durable rubber and nylon chew toys are your safest bet for those avid chewers, but should be given under direct supervision.

It’s been 55 days since the Dawson Creek Ju-nior Canucks last made the trip down the Alaska Highway to take on the Fort St. John Huskies.

But like a dysfunctional family coming to-gether for Christmas, it didn’t take long for the blood to start boiling between the two long-time rivals.

On Saturday it was the Junior Canucks who took the fi rst swing in what is now a guaranteed playoff match, beating the Huskies on North Peace Arena ice in decisive 4-1 fashion.

The win was also a strong step towards lock-ing up home ice advan-tage for the Junior Ca-nucks in the fi rst round of the playoffs.

Head coach Eric Ful-ton said he served a re-minder to his club be-fore puck drop about the importance of Saturday night’s matchup and he was pleased with the re-sponse.

“I told the guys before the game, this is a play-off game. This is going to help us get to the next round or not and I thought they came through tonight,” he said.

A surely worrisome point for the other side, as the Huskies coaching staff realizes the lack of success their team has had so far against Dawson Creek.

“They have to come out and prove they can play against Dawson,” Gary Alexander said Sat-

urday after his teams’ fourth loss to the Junior Canucks this season. “They’re the only hockey club we haven’t beat this year…it’s not impos-sible— it’s just our attitudes coming into the games.”

It was the Junior Canucks who got on the board before the ice was dry, as 17-year-old rook-ie Dustin Bahm notched his fi rst goal of the year in just his third game.

The Huskies responded four minutes later when Blair Karasiuk knocked home his own re-bound for his fourth goal in his last three games.

Connor Rose broke the dead lock midway through the fi rst, before Tyler Norris snuck a shot

under the arm of Hus-kies’ goalie Daimon Derouin to make it 3-1.

Derouin looked to be battling the puck in the fi rst, allowing three goals on just eight shots but settled down the rest of the night, fi nishing with 22 saves.

On the other end, Junior Canucks goalie Josh Round bailed his team out time and time again in the opening frame, turning away 15

of 16 shots. Round fi nished the night with fi rst star honours and a calm 34 saves.

Rose added his second goal of the evening in the third period to tie him for the team lead in goals with 12, to close out the 4-1 win.

Fulton said it came down to some bounces and hard work paying off for his club on Satur-day.

BYRON HACKETT PHOTODawson Creek Junior Canucks goalie Josh Round steers aside one of his 35 shots on Saturday night during his team's 4-1 win over the Fort St. John Huskies at the North Peace Arena on Saturday night.

Continued from Page 2“We’re getting some puck luck around

the net… not so much luck, the guys are working for their goals so it’s nice,” he said.

It was the opposite story for the Hus-kies, who fi red 35 shots at Round but couldn’t seem to fi nd a break after put-ting 12 goals up against the Beaverlodge Blades on Friday night.

“No, certainly a long way from it,” Al-exander said of the result on Saturday. “We didn’t play a bad hockey game out there. We had the opportunities we just couldn’t burry them. It’s just one of those nights where you couldn’t get a drop to fall anywhere you wanted it.”

With three games remaining for Daw-son Creek, including trips to Beaverlodge and Sexsmith, teams the Junior C’s have not lost to this season, fourth place and home ice advantage in the series against

the Huskies seems all but secured. The Alaska Highway rivals will have

one fi nal game this season on Wednes-day, and both coaches believe their squad have more to offer.

I think they’re missing a couple guys and weren’t a 100 per cent healthy and we were missing a couple guys and not 100 per cent healthy. So I think it’ll be even better games. I think they’ve got more to offer and so do we,” Fulton said.

Alexander echoed that same message. “We’re still pretty positive that we

can come up with a better effort than that… we’ve gone out there with the at-titude that we were going to beat them and then we’ve fl oated through a lot of times— we wasted a lot of our efforts,” he said. “We just need to get a little more mentally tough when we come out against Dawson.”

(NC) The commercial use of unmanned air vehi-cles (UAVs), sometimes called drones, has taken off, literally. Over the past four years, Transport Canada has seen a 1,400 per cent increase in requests for commercial permits to fly the aircraft, particularly to capture aerial imagery. Requests jumped from 66 to 1,020 between 2010 and 2014.

Transport Canada says the number could be higher except many Canadians users, both com-mercial and recreational, are unaware that they may need special permission to fly certain sizes of unmanned aircraft. Their use in the agriculture, oil and gas industries is particularly high, with permits numbering the highest in the Prairies and Ontario.

Under new regulations recently announced by Transport Canada, users may not need to apply for a Special Flight Operations Certificate if their UAV

weighs 25 kilograms or less. The new rules apply to commercial users and will help make Canadians in the air and on the ground safer.

“This approach will dramatically improve the ability of Canadian businesses to safely make use of this extremely capable technology while sub-stantially reducing the time it takes to get authori-zation for more complex operations,” says Stewart Baillie, chairman of Unmanned Systems Canada. “Coupled with the recently announced awareness campaign, I believe that Canada now has one of the most effective and progressive regulatory frame-works in the world.”

Recreational users must ensure they fly safely and legally. Transport Canada’s UAV webpage, www.tc.gc.ca/SafetyFirst, provides information on operating guidelines and responsibilities.

Local Reflections

A 70-year old retired teacher and (re-cently) former restaurateur, has decided five years was long enough for her wild-ly popular Indian restaurant in Pouce Coupe, Curry et cetera, which closed its doors in January.

“Growing up I always wanted to be a teacher,” Parmar says, “My wish came true. And when I came to Dawson Creek there was no Indian restaurant in the whole

region.”Parmar arrived in BC in 1967, from

Punjab in northern India. She spent a year in Prince George before securing a teach-ing job in Dawson Creek.

After retiring from teaching, Parmar started on her second dream: owning a restaurant.

“The day I retired from teaching, I went and signed the papers to buy a restaurant in Dawson Creek.”

The building had an architectural de-sign that suited her vision, however it was much larger than she had wanted.

She was lucky, and the real estate agent

gave her the deposit on the building back when things didn’t work out.

Parmar then bought the Sears outlet in the Co-op mall in 2003, and sold it af-ter five years. She later got a call from her friendly realtor, who suggested a build-ing in Pouce Coupe that had just become available.

“So I looked at this one, and this is an older building, a lot of work was done, but it worked out just fine for me.”

The building has a varied history. Built in the 1930s, it was first the site of Capital Motors, which has since moved to a prime location on Alaska Avenue in Dawson

Creek. After that, it was a music store for many years. Before Parmar took over, it was a church.

“When I come here, I say I am going to Church every single day,” she chuckled.

After pouring “lots of money” into the building, it was finally ready to open to the public on Nov. 13, 2009.

Parmar’s former colleagues with School District 59 were the first to come, but be-fore too long she had many regulars who dropped by almost every one of the three days she was open each week.

Based on Parmar’s month-to-month numbers, in the five years it was opened Curry et cetera fed in excess of 50,000 peo-ple.

“Theoretically, everybody in Dawson Creek, Tumbler Ridge and Chetwynd could have eaten here at least once,” she said with a smile.

Her final Saturday night, Jan. 17 was the busiest of all the five years she said, total-ing 153 orders.

But Parmar didn’t set out to feed ev-eryone in the Peace Region. Her original dream of owning and operating a restau-rant morphed over time, and she decided she could do more with the proceeds than simply put it back into the building or her bank account.

“On the side was my desire to help some children in India,” she explained.

Through World Vision she was able to support 29 foster children in total. She has an entire back wall of the restaurant dedicated to them, where each poverty-stricken face is a ray of sunshine for her on any bad day.

She also was able to pay tuition for 10 girls to attend school in her hometown of

Hoshiarpur.“Over here I had stirred for hours

sometimes, doing dishes or whatever and I thought ‘oh my goodness’ you know, go-ing to school and having masters degrees and standing here and doing dishes … But in India, people go to a temple, they wash the dishes as service to the temple. So here I am standing in a former church,

doing the dishes, feeding the people, making the money, and sending the mon-ey to kids.”

Now that these three dreams have been realized, teaching, owning a restaurant and helping children from her homeland, Parmar is ready to move to her next goal. She thinks perhaps the next move for her would be to open a math academy.

Looking back on what was, no matter what anyone writes in any newspaper, or says to her on the street, the restaurant business was a personal success.

But it has had its time, because, “no-body at the age of 70 years should be working for 17 hours a day. It’s not quite civilized. However, it was all fun, I would do in a heart beat all over again but in a 40 year old body.”

Local landmark closes its doorsWildly popular Indian restaurant in Pouce Coupe, Curry et cetera, closed its doors in January

Do you have a low credit rating? You may have had a few hard knocks, but you can improve your credit standing with a bit of patience and discipline. It won’t change overnight, but it’s important to take control of things right now; your efforts will be well worth it if you want to have a more secure financial future. Here are three tips to get you pointed in the right direction.

1. Pay your bills on time Get into the habit of paying your bills

before the due date. Even if you can only manage the minimum amount due on your credit card this month, make sure you pay it on time. You’re much better off paying the minimum on time than the full balance late.

2. Don’t max out your carDs Don’t push the set limits on your credit

cards. Experts believe that you should keep your credit utilization ratio (what you use versus how much you have to use) below 30 percent. This rule applies to each individual card, and to the cumulative debt of all your cards.

3. limit your aPPlications for creDit Each time you apply for a loan —

a line of credit, personal loan, car loan, or credit card — your applica-tion appears on your credit rating.

Multiple requests can negatively affect your score, as creditors wonder if all your credit queries are hiding a seri-ous financial problem.

Are you wondering if you should go to one of those companies that promise to improve your credit rating? Be careful; Industry Canada’s Office of Consumer Affairs says that only your creditors them-selves have the power to change the infor-mation that is recorded in your credit report. One thing you can do is order a copy of your credit report before you apply for a loan to ensure there are no errors. To do that, all you have to do is contact one of the Canadian credit bureaus, either Equifax (www.equifax.ca) or TransUnion (www.transunion.ca).

There was never much telling who or what might be in front of Sharon Smith’s camera lens on a given day.

It could be a happy couple at a wedding, or a child hauled in by grandma for Christmas photos. Or, it could be a piece of factory damaged merchandise, a horrific workplace injury.

Smith and her husband Dusty, who own Rainbow Studios, first bought a camera store in Dawson Creek in 1979. Since then, her lens has documented joy, pain and everything in between.

On Saturday, they closed Rainbow Studios, the final step in their long-standing plan to retire.

Smith started out taking photos of her kids and the scenery, before “getting carried away” with a good camera.

She found work managing the camera department at Kmart in the Dawson Creek mall in the late

70s.In 1979, she and Dusty

People of the Peace

bought a Kits Camera franchise. In 1984, they went into business as Rainbow

Studios, eventually opening a Fort St. John location.

Even then, cameras were growing smaller, easier to use and more ubiquitous than Smith could have imagined.

The introduction of autofocus, where a motor in the lens determines which point in the field of vision to highlight, was the first sign that photography was opening to the masses.

“When they first started coming out with autofocus cameras, that frightened the heck out of me,” she said. “We though it wouldn’t be as

good [as manual focus], but of course it was.”

They adapted and diversified.Photo finishing and enlargements

continued to be popular, along with early photocopying — where a speciality lens was used to take a photo of a photo to create new negatives. At its peak, the studio employed 11 people.

As one of a handful of commercial photographers in the region, Smith was always busy.

“In the early days, I had no summers, never, none,” she recalled. “It was always wedding time.”

Outside of wedding season, there were school portraits, holiday photos and a host of other assignments.

Smith regularly took photos for use as evidence in legal proceedings. In one case, she documented shipping damage to an expensive rifle, so the buyer could take the company to court for a refund. He won.

Photos for workers compensation claims were also common.

Smith said she photographed “quite a few varieties of injuries,” each one requiring special camera techniques.

“If [the injured person] told me something that was key — like how it’s very important that I show

how badly this shoulder blade has dropped on their back, I would set the lighting up so it would create

a little bit more shadow and show that depth, how it’s not how it’s

supposed to be,” she said.Dusty closed down the Fort St. John

location in May, and when the lease came up at the Dawson Creek mall, the Smiths decided not to renew.

It’s not clear what role a studio has in an age where anyone can take a quality photo and share them online instantly.

For decades, Smith helped people both record change and to freeze a moment in time.

She recalls a number of grandmothers who, without fail, would book the grandkids for Christmas photos.

“All they wanted for Christmas was [photos of] the kids,” she said. “They wanted to watch them change in the pictures.”
