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 autobi-ography 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 fam-ily 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 be-tween 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 differ-ent things like that. It was a ne-cessity 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 pic-nic, that’s for sure, but we en-

joyed it,” she says. “Whatever your lot is, you’re silly if you don’t try to get some-thing out of it. That’s what I think any-way.”

I can remember the long hot sum-mers and the longer cold cold winters. My mom was an excellent knitter and good at sewing. Most of our cloth-ing 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 home-steader’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 at-tend 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 needle-work, 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 lis-tening 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 commu-nity, 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 teach-er 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 cen-tre of Dawson Creek.

“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 feel-ing 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 re-morseful 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 re-turnman. 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 ser-vice in the First World War and the Sec-ond World War, her father was passed the age of eligibility in the 1940s, so en-listed at home. The Home Guard was re-sponsible 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 re-sponsibility was guarding Japanese prisoners down south in British Colum-bia and he got to enjoy them very much, there was good people among them.”

Stein says her father spoke about re-ally respecting the Japanese people he

was posted to watch over.“He thought they were a pret-

ty 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 six-teen years old and with three younger siblings I had many re-sponsibilities. 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.

SportsJr. Canucks fall in penalty-� lled a� air

Jonny Wakefi eld - STAFF WRITER

During the second period of Friday’s game against the County of Grande Prairie JDA Kings (18-3-0), the Dawson Creek Junior Canucks (10-10-0) 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 de-

scribe the mental state of some of his players af-ter the Kings netted three goals within the fi rst two minutes of the third. After a promising 40 minutes of hockey, the Juniors C’s spiralled to-wards 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 fi ne, 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 fi rst, only to have the goal disallowed be-causethe net was off its moorings.

The Kings responded with two goals, and the fi rst 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 sec-onds into the third, and Dawson Creek collapsed.

Corey Wamsteeker followed up on his broth-er’s goal under a minute later, while Zach Ben-nett 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 pen-alty box.

Six players from the Kings were also booked for the brawl.

The teams recorded a total of 73penalty 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 thebox for 16 minutes.“He went loco,” Fulton said. “It was an out-

burst of frustration.That’s not like him.”

Hunters meet to speak against new allocationMike Carter - STAFF WRITER

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 ses-sion hosted by the BC Wildlife Federation regarding recent changes to the province’s hunting allocation policy.

The meeting was more of a presenta-tion than an open discussion, but it did still allow a chance for the region’s hunt-ers to crystallize their main message to Forests, Lands and

Natural Resources Minister Steve Thompson: don’t “privatize” the prov-ince’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 be-tween resident and non-resident hunters were announced.

“This decision has been very uncom-fortable 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 increas-ing 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 oppor-tunities 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 cul-tural importance of the wildlife heritage to the residents of BC. Those are the mes-sages 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 outfi tters are professionals, unlike most resident hunters, and the increase in per-mits 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 alloca-tion percentages. At a recent meeting of

the provincial hunting and trapping ad-visory committee, Gitscheff said discus-sions were held about doing away with what are called “accompany to hunt” per-mits,

which allow resident hunters to bring family members along for the kill.

“Many of us that live here have rela-tives 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 min-ister has not confi rmed to me, whether this [issue] is on the table,” he said, “but it could be. I found out about these alloca-tions 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 is-sue, Zimmer said he is behind local hunt-ers.

“I am a gun guy, and I support these causes,” he said. “Our ministers can do whatever they want but we are represent-ing you and your interests so let us know what those are.”

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 De-cember 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 actu-ally 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 Champion-ships 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 Janu-ary 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 week-end 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

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 my-self in a race mentally has improved quite a bit this year,” he said.

Skating everyday along side an Olym-pic 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.

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 Cou-gars along with Paige Wards and Tanel Boeckman of the Peace Country Storm on the women’s side.

For Shipton, the experience of step-ping on to the ice at the ScotiaBank Sad-dledome in Calgary for the final was enough to make the experience one to remember.

Oh it was incredible,” he said. “I’ll re-member 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 boost-er 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 com-ing 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 tour-nament on the female side for the third time this season, her second with the Peace Country Storm from Grande Prai-rie.

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 Ta-nel 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 hock-ey 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.”

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

What does it take to stop a 325 km-h family car? Big

Brembo-brand brakes, of course.

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 stock-car 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

an added power bulge on Hellcat versions), new fenders and a reshaped rear deck also add significant visual impact, as does the rear roof pillar that has been moved slightly rearward to accentuate the Charger’s fastback shape. There’s now a total of 14 different wheel designs, but what you get largely depends on which Charger model you select.

The interior has also been updated, but not quite to the same extent as the body. The redesigned control panel now comes with a standard seven-inch touch-screen display, with a larger 8.4-inch version available.

Other than the SRT Hellcat’s supercharged V8, most of the Charger’s engine choices are similar to the 2014-model-year offerings. The entry-level SE and SXT get the 3.6-litre V6 that makes a respectable 292 horsepower, or 300 horses when equipped with the Rallye Appearance Group that includes a cold-air intake and a sport-tuned exhaust. For those placing a priority on fuel economy, the V6 Charger is rated at a solid 12.4 l/100 km in the city and 7.7 on the highway.

The R/T and R/T Road & Track models run with a 370-horsepower 5.7-litre “Hemi” V8, while the new-for-2015 R/T Scat Pack and SRT 392 models use a 485-horsepower 6.4-litre V8 (up from 470 horsepower for 2014).

All powerplants are mated to eight-speed automatic transmissions. An electronic floor shifter replaces the previous cable linkage unit and paddle-shift controls are standard with most models, including of course the Hellcat.

All-wheel-drive is on the Charger’s option list, but it’s now only available with the V6. Previously it could be ordered with the 5.7-litre V8. The system is automatically activated when tire slip is detected, whenever the windshield wipers are functioning (which indicates wet/slick roads) or in cold-weather driving conditions. The rest of the time the car remains in rear-wheel-drive mode.

At a base price of $34,200 (with destination charges included), the SXT arrives with plenty of amenities such

as dual-zone air conditioning, keyless entry and start and a six-speaker audio system. The SXT adds heated front seats and a 12-way power driver’s seat, while the R/T starts with heated and ventilated front seats, leather

coverings, backup camera and heated steering wheel

As you would expect, the $66,200 SRT Hellcat comes with plenty of performance-related goodies, including a beefed up transmission plus two electronic key fobs: a black one that reins in engine output to 500; and a red one that unleashes all 707 horses and 650

pound-feet of torque. There are also settings on the “performance pages” of the touch-screen for the suspension as well as “launch control” to make the quickest possible getaways without massive tire spin.

The 2015 Charger makes an enticingly bold statement regardless of what’s under the hood. And as for getting out of NASCAR? Well, this Dodge might actually be faster, anyway. Is there a better attention-getter? Not likely.

The SRT Hellcat is getting all the attention, of course, and

it apparently has a slightly higher top speed than the two-door Challenger outfitted with

the same powertrain.

An up-to-date bathroom: a home showpiece Design trends this year are showing bathrooms that complement the rest of the home, all while being a universe unto themselves. 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. Similarly, vessel sinks are also suspended or placed on a wall-mounted countertop. In the same vein, freestanding baths are in, as well as walk-in showers with completely

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

source of additional heating in the room, also helping to dry and warm towels on cold winter mornings.

TREND: BLACK AND WHITE Black adds drama to otherwise neutral bath-rooms and can be used in the ceramics, faucets, accessories, fi xtures, 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: 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-

ing a strip of trompe-l’œil PVC into the fl ooring or wall, either for the colour or the effect that the material gives.

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 fl ow of the water and soaking up its power to calm. Wood and plants should be incor-porated into this type of design. Moreover, ceramic fl oor tiles that imitate a barn’s wood fl oor are a must in a Zen style bathroom.

Home centres and bathroom specialty stores are full of inspiring ideas and specialists just waiting to help you. Remember that if you identify your needs and tastes before going shopping, you’ll optimize your consultation time.

Cont. from Page 3she 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 chil-dren 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 saw-mill 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 mar-ried 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 li-noleum, 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 Furni-ture. Stein remembers one of the Dawson Co-op’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 awe-struck 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 fa-ther 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 mar-ried for two years,” says Stein. “I’ve been alone ever since.”

The two moved into the house she lives in to-day; a comfortable bungalow in Dawson Creek that she says is in the best part of town, with ac-cess to the stores, the hospital and good neigh-bours.

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.”
