From the P harmacist’s File Insomnia

Bronwyn Scott

Alaska Highway News

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.

P

erforming ice water rescues in Alaska. Supplying medical equipment to families in refugee camps. Supporting women coming out of Islamic State captivity. Sonya Clark, from Fort St. John, does it all.

Born at Mile 60 on the Alaska Highway in a 180-square foot house without running water, Clark’s life has taken a far different turn than she could have imagined in her younger years.

“If somebody would have told me 10 years ago that I’d be 45 and jumping out of a helicopter, I’d tell them they were cracked,” she said in an interview with the Alaska Highway News.

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.

Sonya Clark and her three team members will return to Iraq in the New Year to assist refugees.

As the founder of Mahwahdayoh Medical Rescue (MMR), primarily a service provider for the oil and gas industry, Clark has made it her life’s mission to help others. If somebody needs help, such as the three people who fell through the ice in Bethel, Alaska, last winter, she’ll readily execute the rescue on her own dime.

This Thanksgiving, her MMR team was happy to return home from Iraq, where they were providing medical care in a refugee camp.

“People just throw their belongings in their vehicle and they get away from the situation that they’re in, that they need to leave, so they leave with a bunch of clothes and whatever they can get,” Clark explained.

The group regularly travels around the world to crisis situations, assisting where they can. At the Iraqi refugee camp, that included tracking down a container of baby milk when supplies ran out.

Another fellow they helped at the camp had a colostomy, and was forced to leave his house with only one spare colostomy bag.

“If you know anything at all about colostomies, I mean they fill up, they need to be sterile . . . and he’s got one, I mean he uses one and he washes one. It’s disgusting. So we accessed an entire case of colostomy bags for him in the country,” said Clark. “It just is the right thing to do.”

Clark, whose business is based out of Grande Prairie, is by profession a primary care paramedic. When she works in Alberta, she’s an emergency medical technician. When she’s overseas, they call her ‘Doc.’ It all started in 2009. Clark was working two nonmedical jobs, trying to make ends meet, when an old friend contacted her over social media asking her if she would be his medic that winter.

She responded instantly with a firm "no." After all, she wasn’t qualified. But when he told her what they were willing to pay, she quickly changed her mind.

Volunteers fill shoeboxes for Operation Christmas Child william stodalka photo

Tara, Gilan and Heather Karnell pack items for Operation Christmas Child last Saturday at the Peace Lutheran Church in Fort St. John.

Alaska Highway News

The boxes will go to the Alliance Church in Fort St. John for packing in November. Either way, the charitable spirit for its volunteers won’t just end on Dec. 25.

“Tomorrow, if I see something on sale, something that could go in the shoe box, I’ll start again,” said Alexander. “(Operation Christmas Child) gives you a chance to be kind all year round." reporter@ahnfsj.ca

Christmas arrived early for Susanne Alexander.

Alexander was one of about 30 volunteers who gathered in the basement of the Peace Lutheran Church on the weekend to help stuff shoeboxes full of school supplies, toys and more for Operation Christmas Child. The charity delivers the shoeboxes year-round to poor and war-torn countries, including Haiti, Ukraine, and Nicaragua.

Alexander was inspired to help after hearing stories from her husband’s missionary trip visiting poor Nicaraguan children.

Should Daylight Savings Time be abolished?

Should daylight savings time be eliminated? I don't think so, but only because time in the Peace seems to be very relative.

I've been here around seven months, and in that time I've met people who operate strictly on Alberta time, or people who keep their clocks the same year round. It's somehow poetic—this sliver of land whose loyalties vacillate between Vancouver and Edmonton with the changing of the seasons.

Somehow we've survived this long.

Daylight savings time works well for my own purposes, especially when I need to call someone in Victoria for a story. Having an extra hour gives those folks a little more time to not actually answer my questions.

But more than anything, daylight savings time serves to illustrate the extent to which time is a social construct completely devoid of any inherent meaning. I'm really fun at parties.

Science Matters David Suzuki

Democracy isn’t just about politics; it’s about all of us

I’ve lived through many elections, but I don’t recall many in which emotions ran so high. In the heat of such a campaign, things get said, disagreements arise and tensions increase. Now that we’ve elected a new government, I want to commend Prime Minister-elect Justin Trudeau on his positive campaign and congratulate him on his party’s sweeping victory. I still think the new government has an opportunity to strengthen its climate change policies, but more on that later…

We also have to thank the people from all parties who have devoted so much time, energy and money to serve the country, from the candidates,

successful and not, to the volunteers, who believe enough in this country and its democratic traditions to give their all. Their families also deserve a lot of credit. Whether or not we agree with a candidate, leader or party and their policies, we can be grateful that they dedicate themselves to keeping our country strong and free.

Most of all, I want to commend Canadians. Voter turnout jumped to more than 68 per cent — not perfect, but better than in some time.

Canadians sent a loud and clear message that they want to live in an open, progressive country that promotes diversity, social justice, environmental protection and respect for First Peoples.

Those of us who work in the environmental movement look forward to a renewed relationship with our federal government. We know our elected representatives won’t always agree with us, but we’re hopeful our new leaders will give us a fair hearing and respect that we’re all trying to

William Stodalka

Just because an idea worked doesn't mean that it will always work.

There was once upon a time when daylight savings made sense. However, this was when the world was more rural and dependent on the sunlight.

Now, though, it comes with certain costs with an increasingly urban and industrial world. Just this year, for the first time, 50 per cent of the population lived in urban centres.

Even though, for many of them, it doesn't matter when the sun rises or sets, their schedules are still affected by daylight savings time.

It can be cute if only one person forgets to spring forward or set back their clocks for the changeover. But this is not the case, as a surprising number of people seem to forget. Studies have shown that on these changeover days, there are more accidents on the road than not as people are in a rush or have to suddenly re-adjust their schedules. A study from the University of British Columbia in the 1990s found an eight per cent jump in trafic accidents on the move ahead dates.

Also, from personal experience, I can say that it certainly doesn’t feel like I’m getting an extra hour of sunlight. It mostly just feels like an inconvenience that I’m glad modern cell phones have been programmed to remember. It also disrupts my sleep schedule, and to me, there’s nothing more important than getting a good night’s sleep, even for an extra hour. contribute to making Canada a positive example for the world.

The new government has its work cut out. On top of initial administrative duties, dealing with trade agreements and appointing Cabinet members, it will also be expected to prepare for the UN climate summit in Paris in December. As some people know, during the lengthy campaign I had a disagreement with Trudeau over his party’s climate policy. I still think his climate plans need to be strengthened, especially with clear and ambitious targets for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. But I’m confident the new government will take this issue seriously, and I hope it will draw on the expertise of other parties and their leaders, who offered innovative proposals.

I also hope they will consult with experts from the David Suzuki Foundation and other organizations, who have been researching and proposing viable solutions for many of the environmental challenges Canada faces, including ocean

health, species and habitat protection, toxins and pollution and clean energy and climate change.

No one is suggesting we should do an immediate 180-degree turn on resources and economic priorities. But it’s time to shift our thinking.

Continuing to make fossil fuel extraction the country’s economic priority is a thing of the past. We can create more jobs and a stronger economy by ending fossil fuel subsidies, putting a price on carbon pollution, promoting energy conservation and encouraging the clean technology and clean energy sectors.

We must also remember that the government is here to represent the interests of all Canadians — and not just those who voted for it. We’re the ones most affected by government policies. Corporate interests are important, but they should never outweigh the interests of citizens.

So many Canadians got engaged with this election, holding conversations, watching debates, sharing informa-

tion on social media and through letters to newspapers, volunteering and, finally, voting. The government has its work cut out, but so do we. A democracy is as strong as the people who make its values come alive, every single day.

It’s not all up to the politicians.

It’s up to all of us to stay engaged, ensure our interests are looked after and work with people of all backgrounds and political stripes to make sure Canada continues to be strong, prosperous and free, with respect for diversity and the progressive values that have made Canada one of the best places on Earth to live.

There’s a lot of work ahead for all of us. But right now, I want to say how proud I am to be Canadian, to live in a country where people care enough to make it work.

Continued from page 2 Clark hopped on a plane to her hometown of Fort St. John and signed up for the courses she’d need. The plan: to work for a winter, make a bunch of money, and leave come springtime. That isn’t what happened.

“I just fell in love with it,” she said. “I went and got my EMR (emergency medical responder) and then I went and got my EMT (emergency medical technician), and then I got into the fire side and the rescue side, and I am just so in love with the learning process.”

Clark hasn’t stopped taking courses. She went to Denmark and took combat medicine, and took flight medicine in Florida. Several times each year, she and the rest of MMR update their skills with fire response, medical and rescue training.

Her company, which she started in 2010, now conducts rescue missions around the globe. She and her small team of three try to do two or three big medical rescue missions

each year. MMR funds it all.

“We have very low operating costs, so at the end of the year we look at ways that we can give back,” Clark said.

Recently, MMR teamed up with Steve Maman, president at the Liberation of Christian and Yazidi Children of Iraq, who lives in Montreal. His organization specializes in liberating women who have been kidnapped

by ISIS, and returning them to their families.

MMR helps by providing medical support for the women coming out of captivity.

“We go with them to the exchange point and we see these women and these children and we provide their emergency medical care... we provide any support that we can, and anything that’s identifiable we provide that immediately,” Clark said.

Next year, she and her MMR team plan to return to Iraq and provide further care to the refugees there.

“It’s just life giving to be part of that,” Clark said. peacereporter@ahnfsj.ca

Huskies win weird in OT

B yron Hackett

Alaska Highway News

The Fort St. John Huskies might as well have reinvented the wheel with their win on Saturday night in Sexsmith.

On a play that assistant coach Todd Alexander said he’d never seen work in all his hockey years, the Huskies scored with a man in the penalty box and the goalie out of their own net with just 19 seconds left in regulation.

“That’d be the first time I’ve ever been involved in pulling the goalie to make it 5-on-5 and actually score a goal short-handed that tied the game in all the games I’ve ever been involved with, so that was pretty impressive,” Alexander said in an interview Monday.

Jacob Lang was the Huskie who got his stick on the puck in the dying minutes to help them tie the game at four.

Kody Disher scored midway through overtime after they killed off the rest of the penalty and

grabbed the Huskies a much needed two points after losing 6-5 to the Fairview Flyers Friday.

“Saturday night we carried that momentum, good to see we weren’t feeling sorry for ourselves,” Alexander said.

“We got right up off the mat, it was an important game for us because we were starting to fall behind in points a little bit. A lot of pressure to get two points out of that building…they responded well.

We started a little sluggish our goalie had a really good first period for us…the second, third and overtime period we definitely dominated the shot clock and the possession time.”

Along with Disher’s overtime winner, Keenan Larson, Shawn Wilson and Lang had the goals for the Huskies against Sexsmith.

Against the undefeated Flyers (9-0) on Friday in Fairview, the Huskies couldn’t pry away the momentum from the league leading squad despite a monster four goal performance from Cayle Bell.

“Friday night was a hard fought battle in a small

arena. It was a physical affair. I thought we played pretty well, I thought we deserved a better fate, not to take anything away from [Fairview]. If we had mixed in one key save I think we would have come away with two points there,” Alexander said.

“We play hard defensively. I think Fairview only had 30 shots against us. They eeked out five goals on us there but that wasn’t because of the defense.

The coverage was great, I thought for the most part the majority of the shots were from the outside.

That’s all we ask from the guys to give their goalie a chance.”

Bell now leads the Huskies in points with 12, and the veteran after being challenged by the coaching staff to help bring the young players along has stepped up.

“We’ve been pretty hard on these guys getting going here and trying to lean on our veterans to step up and he definitely did,” Alexander said.

“He plays on a line with a couple 16-year-olds so, he has to make sure he’s leading the right way

and having the right attitude… that line has clicked real well and played excellent together. It’s a testament to his leadership and showing them the way to play the game.”

Alexander hopes the character win on Saturday will carry forward with his team and help create an understanding about what it takes to win in the North West Junior Hockey League.

“Pretty proud of the boys effort on the weekend, I think going forward that's the way they have to play," he said.

"40 second hockey, hard hockey, they have to finish their checks and we can’t be moping around or stick checking. That’s the style of game we’re going to have to play that gives us success... We’re around the third best offense in the league right now.

We just need to knuckle down in net and continue to build on what we did defensively in front of our goalie this weekend.”

The Huskies will have the next 11 days off during the World Under 17 Hockey Challenge before resuming play on Nov. 7 against the County of Grande Prairie JDA Kings. Their next home game is scheduled for Tuesday, Nov. 10. sports@ahnfsj.ca

A picture is worth . . . a longer life

Alaska Highway News

A picture may be worth a thousand words, but it could also contribute a culture of healthy aging thanks to Northern Health’s latest photo contest.

Residents of northern B.C. are encouraged to send in photos depicting healthy aging for a chance to win weekly prizes, as well as a grand prize that has yet to be revealed.

Northern Health’s Healthier You Promotions and Engagement committee has launched the contest to draw attention to healthy aging through a focus on social connectedness and creating welcoming, inclusive communities.

“Northern Health’s community consultation on healthy aging and seniors’ wellness found that social connection and community involvement are pivotal to health,” said Sandra Allison, chief medical health officer, in a press release.

“This, combined with a population in northern B.C. that is aging more rapidly than in the rest of the province, is why the committee is focusing on healthy aging in 2015 and 2016 and why we’ve launched a photo contest to support this focus.”

The contest will have a different theme each week, showing communities being in-

clusive, fostering volunteerism and supporting strong relationships.

The photos that best capture the theme of healthy aging and social connectedness will be turned into posters and materials that will be distributed to local health units.

The contest is now open and runs until Nov. 8. All photos submitted will be eligible for the grand prize.

Credit union promises to protect graves William Stodalka

Alaska Highway News

The North Peace Savings and Credit Union promises to take special steps to ensure that graves behind the old St. Martin’s Anglican Church will remain undisturbed as it builds its new office building.

Last Thursday, the credit union held an open house at its Fort St. John office to discuss its plans for the new building.

There are about eight graves in a 12 by 15-metre area behind the demolished church. The lot is currently zoned commercial, but the bank wants approval from the city to re-zone the graveyard area to parks and natural areas.

“Throughout the planning phases, we’re doing everything we can to ensure that the integrity of the cemetery is intact,” said Janice Van Dolah, senior marketing man-

ager for the credit union.

“It is going to be upgraded and finished to a degree that’s pleasing to the (families of the deceased).”

Church rector Enid Pow said the church was too expensive to maintain, and was sold to the credit union.

The plans, which Van Dolah said were preliminary, call for the cemetery to be gated, “to ensure that people can’t just wander through it.”

The plans also call for memorial signage, a high branching tree, lighting, and a two-metre high ornamental permanent fence.

City council has yet to vote on and approve the plans. reporter@ahnfsj.ca

First aid fraud St. John's Ambulance sounds alarm over fraudulent tickets

Angela Laczo, branch manager at the Fort St. John Ambulance Training Centre, is concerned about fraudulent first aid certificates that are coming out of Dawson Creek.

Bronwyn Scott

Alaska Highway News

A St. John Ambulance official is raising the alarm over fraudulent first aid certificates that appear to have been issued by a non-existent branch in Dawson Creek.

In recent months, Angela Laczo, branch manager at the St. John Ambulance Training Centre in Fort St. John, has run into three examples of false first aid tickets.

All of the tickets appear to have been issued in fall of 2014 in Dawson Creek.

“Dawson Creek is not an approved venue for a St. John Ambulance course,” Laczo said in an interview with the Alaska Highway News.

“We don’t have a branch in Dawson Creek, and the students that are holding these certificates have informed their employers that they took a course in Dawson Creek.

“This affects a lot of people, they’re out of time, they’re out of money, and they are not certified; they’re not qualified on certain jobs. So the employer is left hanging going, ‘OK, now what?’”

Laczo has tried to speak with the students to gain more information about the course they claim to have taken, but has thus far only been able to speak with their employers.

She has opened a file with the Dawson Creek RCMP, who is looking into the matter.

But the biggest thing for Laczo is the danger of having someone who believes they’re qualified to respond to an emergency who is, in fact, not able to respond appropriately.

“If they’re going into a medic-type position, then they don’t have the training or the experience to be able to help somebody that is injured,” she said.

“A lot of employers, they just require (employees) to have a level one first aid ticket and an H2S ticket, for employment needs. But with that still, again, they’re not properly trained to attend to somebody that is injured.”

IPAC Services Corporation in Fort St. John has had two recent incidents where employees believed they were qualified to perform first aid, but whose certificates turned out to be fake.

“We do have instances where people, they go and pay somebody to make them a ticket, and they know that they’re getting a false ticket, and that’s a different situation,” said Nicole Brugger, senior human resources co-ordinator with IPAC Services.

“But we have these two gentlemen in particular who say they took a course in Dawson Creek and they were led to believe that it was a legitimate course.”

One of these employees believed he had an entry-level first aid certificate, and the other held an Emergency Medical Responder ticket.

“That’s typically a two-week course, and this gentleman did it in a day,” said Brugger.

That, in addition to the fact that the format wasn’t in the usual St. John Ambulance style, was a red flag.

“Whenever we see irregularities in the ticket, we call the St. John Ambulance offices to verify the validity of them,” she said.

“We actually see false tickets more often than we would like to, so it’s not something completely out of the ordinary for us. But, what was out of the ordinary was these guys were oblivious to the fact that they weren’t real.”

The employees in question weren’t hired into first aid positions. All IPAC Services’ field staff must have first aid training, Brugger said. peacereporter@ahnfsj.ca

Fire cleanup continues as U-17 hockey tourney nears Bronwyn Scott

Alaska Highway News

Visitors to the North Peace Arena for the World Under-17 Hockey Challenge might feel a bit of a breeze as they get their snacks and settle into their seats.

A wall on the city's recreation complex has been torn down, and the City of Fort St. John says it may well be that way for the international hockey event that’s slated to start Oct. 30.

The wall in question is part of the work being done to evaluate damages caused by a blaze that destroyed the North Peace Gymnastics Association’s space, housed in the same building as the North Peace Arena, on July 18.

“As part of the claims process for the damage caused by fire at the gymnastics centre, a contractor has been hired to partially demolish the damaged areas and remove any hazardous materials (asbestos) to facilitate a more thorough inspection of the undamaged structure,” city spokeswoman Julie Rogers told the Alaska william stodalka photo Highway News in an email.

Restoration crews continue work at the Fort St. John “Once this is complete and the inspec- recreation complex to remove hazardous materials and tion can be finalized a plan for restoration will be further assess damages. determined.”

In a subsequent interview, Rogers said that the torn down wall won’t affect hockey.

“Yes, it might be (that way for the Hockey Challenge), because they needed to… further assess the damage, so they knew how much more demolition was needed,” she said.

“It won’t impact hockey at all, it’s on a 2-year TELUS Your Choice plan*. just not pretty.”

The Word U-17 Hockey Challenge is a prestigious event that’s being co-hosted by the City of Fort St. John and the City of Dawson Creek, with teams from the United States, Russia, Finland, Sweden and the Czech Republic, as well as three Canadian teams.

When the announcement was made at the Pomeroy Sport Centre in June, Mayor Lori Ackerman praised the international event as an opportunity to show Fort St. John and Dawson Creek to the world.

“Not only will this be some exciting hockey, but it’s going to bring the international world again to our doorstep. We know, through the events that we have held here in Fort St. John, that this is a very positive economic opportunity for the community, and the region,” she said.

Ta ke A P aws Keeping your pet safe during the holidays

Dr. Justin Sewell

Rivers Animal Hospital

You and your pet can have a merrier holiday if you take care to avoid some potential hazards around your home this time of year.

Harmful foods include chocolate, onions, fatty foods, salt, macadamia nuts, and bones. Baking chocolate is one of the most serious. As little as 1/4 oz. can cause toxicity to a 10 lb. dog. Turkey bones are hollow and splinter and if swallowed cause a number of potential problems. Many holiday plants can also cause problems, these include Poinsettias, Holly and Mistletoe. Poinsettias irritate the mouth and stomach causing vomiting and nausea. Mistletoe can cause cardiovascular problems.

Holly can cause lethargy, vomiting and diarrhea.

The tree and gifts under it can be too much temptation for many cats and dogs.

Ribbons and tinsel off the tree, if swallowed can potentially become tangled in the intestines. The tree itself may seem to be a playground to some cats so it is wise to tie the tree to the

wall to prevent it from being knocked down breaking ornaments and potentially injuring your pet. Puppies like to chew and in more than one case puppies have been electrocuted chewing on cords. Plug in cords where they are not easily accessed or tape them to the floor.

If you are thinking about getting a new pet, remember, new pets need a lot of attention and with the hustle and bustle of the holidays finding time can be a challenge. If you are giving a pet as a gift be sure the receiver is ready for this new pet and willing to look after them properly. A new pet is a long-term commitment.

During the holidays try to give your pet its standard amount of exercise, quiet time, playtime, and regular food. After walks on salty roads always wipe your pet's feet off well to avoid irritation and ingestion of the salt. Indoor pets can't handle cold weather this time of year so do not leave them outside without protection from the elements.

Have a safe and happy holiday season and leave the cookies and milk for Santa!!

Halloween Safety for your Kids and Pets Safety first in kids’ Halloween costumes Dressing up and engaging in role play is an important component of childhood learning and having fun. Although costumes are regularly used in day care centers, schools and at home, they become the center of attention when Halloween arrives.

The practice of wearing costumes dates back at least 2,000 years to ancient Europeans and Celts. These cultures celebrated a holiday called Samhain, which represented their new year.

Samhain fell on November 1 and marked the first day of winter after the summer harvest.

These ancient people associated the winter with coldness, darkness and death and believed the day before Samhain -- October 31 -- established a distorted boundary between the living and the dead. Therefore, individuals wore costumes and masks to avoid being recognized by the ghosts that came out on the night of Samhain. They would also place bowls of food outside of their homes to satisfy the ghosts and keep them from entering the home.

R0021089481

Always walk on sidewalks or paths.

If there are no sidewalks, walk facing traffic as far to the left as possible. Children should walk on direct routes with the fewest street crossings.

250-785-1207

Although Halloween has transformed more into a commercial holiday than one associated with death and the afterworld in the literal sense, many adults and children continue to participate in the rituals that were set forth many years ago, most notably wearing costumes. Parents may want to ensure that the costumes their children wear are safe to help make Halloween a day without injury.

* Create a cape that doesn’t choke. A long cape can be stepped on and then tug at a child’s neck. Instead, make a cape that has arm loops to keep it in place instead of a tie around the neck. This way there never will be a choking hazard.

* Check makeup labeling. There are many safe Halloween cosmetics on the market, but some should not be used around the eyes or mouth because allergic reactions could occur. Double-check all ingredients lists and package warnings before using makeup on children, who tend to have more sensitive skin than adults. Also, it is a good idea to do a test patch of the product. Put a small dab of

the makeup in the crook of the inside of the child’s elbow. Wait 24 hours and see if any itching or a rash forms.

This could indicate an allergy to the product. * Keep eyes open. Masks are popular components of Halloween costumes, but some designs can obstruct vision or even impair breathing. Masks always should be comfortable to wear and offer good forward and peripheral views. * Choose natural materials for costumes. Buying a pre-made costume at the store may save you time and money, but there may be safer options if you construct a costume yourself. Many costumes are made overseas and may contain materials that are toxic or off-gas volatile organic chemicals (VOCs), particularly plastic and vinyl products. Breathing in the fumes can be dangerous to young children. By making the costume yourself, you can control what fabrics and other materials are used. * Go organic. There are a number of companies that are now making Halloween costumes from organic fabrics and recycled materials. A simple online search can give you a host of prospects for purchasing these costumes. * Make it visible. Trick-or-treating at night can be, well, tricky. Darkness can make it hard for drivers and other pedestrians to see costume-clad children. If going doorto-door will be happening at night, consider giving children glow sticks or flashlights to carry. There also are reflective tapes that can be attached to costumes that make them light up when lights shine on the tape. * Avoid choking hazards. Many costumes come with small detailing or accessories that may be hazardous to young children. Youngsters who do not yet know what items should and should not be put in their mouths should not wear costumes with removable or small detailing.

Also, avoid the use of fake teeth (such as vampire fangs) and fake blood or goo capsules that are meant to be bitten, so they won’t be swallowed.

Halloween is meant to be a time of fun and adventure.

Ensuring costumes are safe for children can help make the day even more enjoyable for all involved.

Slow down and be especially alert in residential neighborhoods. Children are excited on Halloween and may move in unpredictable ways.

Protect pets from harm this Halloween

Halloween is full of decorations, costumes and, of course, trick-or-treaters. While the excitement can be thrilling for children, pets can easily grow scared.

Animals generally become creatures of routine, and anything that takes them out of their comfort zones can be a cause for agitation. Spooky decorations hung throughout the house and outdoors present new sights and smells. The doorbell ringing every few minutes could put skittish pets even more on edge -- especially when they come face-to-face with hordes of costumed trick-or-treaters.

Candy, and chocolate in particular, poses a large risk as well. Even relatively small amounts of chocolate can be harmful to cats and dogs. That’s because chocolate contains caffeine and the obromine, two differ-

Cross the street at crosswalks and never assume that vehicles will stop

ent types of stimulants that can wreak havoc on an animal’s central nervous system. Hard candies may be swallowed and become lodged in the throat or digestive tract. Artificial sweeteners are harmful to animals, too.

“Spooky decorations and costumes can increase a pet’s anxiety on Halloween”.

To help keep pets safe, it is best to consider the following tips for Halloween. * Keep pets indoors for the day. Animals that are frightened may run away or grow disoriented and get lost. Also, you never want your pet to be the victim of a Halloween prank. Sometimes black cats are stolen on Halloween. Dogs left outside may be at risk for teasing and taunting, too. * Don’t take dogs trick-or-treating. Although you may have a calm, well-mannered dog, the crowds in

the neighborhood may excite man’s best friend, whose behavior might be difficult to predict. Also, other animals that get loose from homes when the doors are opened may provoke your dog. It’s enough to keep your eyes on your children, never mind being mindful of your dog, too. * Skip costumes for pets. You may think it’s a great idea to dress your pets in costumes, but there’s a good chance your pet does not share your enthusiasm. It may stress out the animal, so avoid pet costumes. * Be mindful of holiday decorations. Strings of lights, fake spider webs and other decorative items can be tripping hazards for pets, while electronic devices could pose a safety risk. Avoid lit candles in the home because cats or dogs may knock them over. * Store collected candy out of reach. Pets are inquisitive, and they may be drawn to the sweet smell of candy and treats. Candy wrappers and the candy itself can be hazardous to pets. Therefore, store candy where pets cannot access it and be sure children discard candy wrappers.

House Week THE A bright stucco facade and high, arched windows give the Mediterranean-style Corsica a beguilingly sunny look. Keystones add a classic touch, centered on garage-door lintels and at the apexes of all five majestic front arches.

Passing through the lofty arched porch, you step into an exceptionally bright entry.

Natural light washes in through sidelights as well as a graceful half-circle transom. All of these windows are gridded, echoing the patterns seen in the other arched windows.

The foyer's ceiling soars 13 feet in height. A recessed display niche lines its right side, opposite a set of ornamental columns that flank the living room's wide opening.

Stacked windows fill the great room's rear wall. The top edge of the upper windows forms a gentle arch. Built-in cabinetry on both sides of the gas fireplace can be used to house a home entertainment center, or put to other purposes.

We came at 4 and it started at 5 so we had lots of time to decorate and get ready for the awards night. It was MC'd by Kyra Taylor from our club and Kiera Harmon from Green Valley Club. The MC's hosted it and started out with the awards from each club and having them stand up at the front; all of them including Beatton Community, Green Valley, Prespetou, Lakeshore, Silver Willow and 101 Clubs.

They also had ambassadors who went to the PNE stand up and speak one person from our club went; Marissa Fell and also the people that went on the 4-H exchange to Ontario, I was the only one in my club that went. I went on it and was a really good experience. I stayed at a goat farm and we got to see lots of Ontario, we went and saw Niargra Falls, the CN Tower, an Anne Frank play and museum, a blue jays game and I really liked that, it was in August.

After that we played a game where we had to guess 4-H related questions and the first answer rights table got to eat first and then the other people after. After that we cleaned up and left.

We are starting up our club again in November for any horse people that want to join i will have more details on my next report. Thank you to all our sponsors and see you next time.

Thank you to North Peace Veterinary Clinic for sponsoring this page.

Racing News

Points: 4000

Brian Pattie will take over crew chief duties for Greg Biffle in 2016. Pattie has worked as a crew chief for Michael Waltrip Racing for the last four seasons.

He started his NASCAR career with Joe Nemechek in 1994. In 2008, Pattie was assigned to the #42 Target team midway through the season as the third crew chief to work with former Formula 1 driver Juan Pablo Montoya. Together, Pattie and Montoya won one race, seven poles and posted 16 top fives and 39 top-10 finishes.

Pattie also guided the team to the 2009 Chase for the Sprint Cup - Montoya’s only appearance in the NASCAR post-season.

Carl Edwards Points: 4000

This week’s race is the seventh in the Chase for the Sprint Cup and first race of the Eliminator Round. The first race at Martinsville Speedway was run on September 7, 1947 and Robert “Red” Bryon won $500 out of a $2,000 purse. NASCAR was formed in 1948 and Martinsville Speedway ran its first NASCAR race on July 4th of that year. At slightly more than half a mile, Martinsville Speedway is the shortest track on the NASCAR Sprint Cup Circuit but it has 800foot straights, turns banked at only 12 degrees and has been called “two drag strips with a turnaround on each end.” The demanding layout consistently produces some of the wildest fender scrubbing, push and shove racing on the tour.

Kevin Harvick Points: 4000

Brad Keselowski Points: 4000

Joey Logano used a controversial finish at Talladega Superspeedway to sweep the second round of Nascar’s Playoffs and end Dale Earnhardt Jr.’s championship chances. The race ended under caution when reigning Sprint Cup champ Kevin Harvick stumbled on the final restart to trigger a multi-car accident in the middle of the field. Because NASCAR said this week it would make just one attempt to finish the race under the green flag, the field was frozen and Earnhardt was denied the chance to race Logano for the win. Logano went 3 for 3 in this second round of the Chase for the Sprint Cup and in doing so, the Team Penske driver eliminated two of the top title threats.

Earnhardt, who led a race-high 61 laps Sunday, finished second but was eliminated in the second round of the playoffs. Also knocked out of the field was Matt Kenseth, who was spun by Logano last week as the two raced for the win at Kansas.

Golf Trivia Which golfer holds the record for most consecutive top 10 finishes on the PGA Tour? a) Jack Nicklaus c) Phil Mickelson b) Byron Nelson d) Vijay Singh

?

Answer: b) Byron Nelson finished in the Top 10 in 65 consecutive PGA Tour events, beginning with the 1942 Texas Open and continuing until the 1946 New Orleans Open.

Players planning to participate in this week’s CIMB Classic in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, were advised via an e-mail from the PGA Tour of potential risks associated with a recent typhoid outbreak and poor air quality. There have been over 30 cases of typhoid reported in Kuala Lumpur since the beginning of August. No fatalities have been reported from the outbreak and players and staff were advised to only drink bottled or boiled water and avoid ice and raw fruits, vegetables and meats. The e-mail also warns of poor air quality around Kuala Lumpur because of severe drought conditions.

Lessons from the Golf Pro One of the first things that we need to learn when we get ready to tee off is to have the proper ball position. More than half the time, the ball is not lined up with our body properly, resulting in an errant drive. For every inch that the ball is teed up too far back in your stance, it puts the flight of the ball some 15-20 yards off of your intended line. It is almost a universal rule that the ball should be close to even with the tip of your front shoulder. This will allow the clubface to make a full rotation through the ball, maximizing your distance, accuracy and consistency. Place the ball in line with your front heel and make sure that the heels of your feet are shoulder width apart.
