Olympian preaches passion at girls hockey jamboree

Becky Kellar remembers

Dawson Creek well, with under-standably mixed emotions.

Her time here wasn’t pleasant in 2010, but that’s the way it was

supposed to be.She loved it, the city and the

people, but the training, some of the hardest she had ever been

through in preparation for the Vancouver Olympics was gruel-ing.

It included an 85-kilomtere bike ride with her team through the valleys in Tumbler Ridge, many 12 hour days running to the rink, and every other possi-ble training facility you can think of.

She’s back now, for a more pleasant opportunity.

Kellar was the head instruc-tor for the fourth annual Encana Female Hockey Jamboree and after speaking to the 37 girls reg-istered for the camp on Friday night, she shared some of her hockey knowledge on the ice Saturday and Sunday.

As a whole, Kellar hopes she Coninuted on Page A6

In the downtown core of Daw-son Creek, there is a building that has housed everything from a post office to a bowling alley—all before 1970.

It’s also played host to an ice cream parlour, rooming house, land registry office, craft shop, clothes store, and a newspaper called the Polar News.

This winter, it will be the newest place to grab a bite to eat in the Mile Zero City.

The building might not look like much right now, but is a venerable land-mark on 102 Avenue, bursting with the history of a town that is literally at the crossroads of a unique part of Canadian history. Those crossroads have inspired the name Alcan Smokehouse, standing in for the Alaska-Canadian Highway.

The building has been owned by the Triebel family, of Lothar Triebel Jewel-lers, since 1962 when the family moved to Dawson Creek after immi-grating to Canada from Germany a few years earlier.

When Lothar passed on, he left the business, and the building, to his son Gerald, who kept it open until 2013.

“We knew even then that per-manent retire-ment wasn’t our future,” Gerald’s wife Melanie said. “We didn’t see a future in small industry like that and we didn’t want to be the last ones to turn the lights out. We fig-ured let’s go while people still like us, before we become caricatures of our-selves.”

That left them with a choice: sell the building as is or put some work into it, and rent it out.

It could have been the end of the line for the structure. But, with help from their children and their significant oth-ers, the Triebels decided to bring 932

102 Avenue back to life as a restaurant.“It's an exciting venture,” Melanie

said, “but it certainly is something way different from being grandfathered into a business that (Gerald) grew up in. (He) never knew anything else.”

It was around January 2015 when the idea started becoming a serious one. Their sons, Ethan and Brandon, were already working in the restaurant in-dustry, along with their significant oth-ers.

“It did seem like a natural fit,” Mela-nie said. “We had a building, we had the management experience between the two of us, and the desire to offer great service. Then, we needed a theme that fit the building,” which they came up with after watching the Food Network.

“We thought we might do this, but we knew we needed a theme, and we thought we'd do something different. We don't want to do what everybody else is already doing well already.”

They decided to build a restaurant that was distinctly of Dawson Creek. The second floor will be a showcase for that, with pan-oramic windows displaying the downtown, bring-ing the city into the dining room.

It was an idea Gerald had.

“I stood up there and looked out across to Bear Mountain where the ski hill is,” he said. “The ski hill lights were on at that particular time. I thought, with windows up here, you could

see the Mile Zero post and the Christ-mas tree in the winter, out to Bear Mountain and down 102 while looking down on traffic. That concept intrigued me to say, 'lets put windows all the way around.'"

The upstairs will also have a bar. Many elements of the building’s rich

and still growing history will be por-trayed when the Triebels open their doors sometime before Christmas.

“My hope that residents in the city

How does the fl u spread?The fl u spreads through droplets that are spread

by people infected with the fl u. These droplets are spread through coughing, sneezing or even talking. Sneezes can send germs fl ying as far as six feet. The fl u is also spread by direct contact with objects and surfaces that have come in contact with fl u germs, e.g., toys, eating utensils, drinking glasses, and most importantly, unwashed hands. Flu germs can live on surfaces for 2-8 days.

Remember that people may be contagious BEFORE they know they have the fl u and AFTER their symptoms have gone. People may be contagious for a few days before symptoms begin and for 5-7 days after becoming sick.

What are the health consequences of the fl u?Most people will recover fully in about a

week or 10 days, but some may develop serious complications. Approximately 12,200 Canadians are hospitalized because of the fl u and its complications each season; about 3,500 Canadians die from complications of the fl u.

In addition to the fl u shot what are other important ways to prevent the fl u?

There are other important ways to help prevent catching or spreading the fl u. These include:

• Maintain a healthy and active lifestyle• Wash your hands frequently, and for at least 20

seconds, using warm water and soap• When soap and water are not available, use an

anti-bacterial soap• Use a tissue when you sneeze or cough and throw

away used tissues and wash your hands immediately• If a tissue is not available, sneeze or cough into

your elbow or upper arm to avoid spreading germs to your hands

• Clean household surfaces and children’s toys often• Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth if you

think you may have come in contact with fl u germs• Don’t share drinking glasses or eating utensils• Give each family member his/her own towel• Try to avoid crowds during the fl u season• If you have the fl u, stay at homeWho is most at risk if they catch the fl u?Certain people may be more at risk to develop

complications and become more ill from the fl u. The fl u vaccination is especially important to help protect these people:

• Children aged 6-23 months – these children may be more likely to develop complications from the fl u and are more likely to be hospitalized because

of them• Adults and children with chronic diseases that

require them to have regular medical attention or hospital care, e.g., chronic heart and lung disease and chronic conditions such as diabetes, anemia, cancer, weakened immune systems, cystic fi brosis, HIV or kidney disease

• Children and adolescents on long-term aspirin (ASA) therapy – people with these conditions are more likely to develop complications if they get the fl u

• People aged 65 and over – seniors have the highest rate of hospitalization and death from the fl u. The most common complications in seniors include bacterial infection and pneumonia. NOTE: the fl u vaccine may be less eff ective in this population, so it is very important that all family members, health care providers, and caregivers have a fl u shot to better protect seniors.

I’m a healthy adult. Why should I have an annual fl u vaccination?

The fl u is a serious illness and can lead to serious complications, hospitalization and even death. Many people think that only people with health problems need an annual fl u vaccination. This is NOT true. Healthy people can also get very sick from the fl u and spread it to others. The fl u can leave you ill for up to seven days or more. The good news is that fl u vaccination eff ectiveness is greatest among healthy adults and older children. Everyone six months of age and older should have an annual fl u vaccination.

Get your fl u vaccination early in the fl u season so that you are already protected when the fl u starts circulating in your community. It takes about two weeks for your body to become protected from the fl u vaccination. Once you have been vaccinated, you will have the benefi ts of protection for as long as the fl u is circulating. An annual vaccination is needed because, protection from the vaccination will decline over the year. In addition, the circulating fl u strain changes every year and every year the fl u vaccine is formulated to match the current strain to help protect against the fl u more eff ectively. So for the best protection, an annual vaccination is recommended.

Trying to leave more than just hockey behind

It’s just hockey, only bigger.The players are bigger than most who come

through the Peace Region, despite being just 16 years old.

There’s intermission entertainment, which features ice bowling or players scrambling down the ice frantically putting on gear.

There’s broadcast crews, full press boxes

and scouts galore.There are seminars from the best minds in

hockey, from former Edmonton Oilers coach and B.C. born now president of Hockey Can-ada Tom Renney along with Hockey Canada Chairman Joe Draggo.

The World Under 17 Hockey Challenge ar-rived officially in Fort St. John Sunday with all the bells and whistles, shine and colour of brand new car.

But what will be left when that’s all gone? A good question, one that Ren-ney, in his first year as Hockey Canada CEO hopes he sees clearly.

“There has to be much more left in your wake than just hav-ing watched the game,” Ren-ney said, as he watched Can-ada Black take on Sweden in Exhibition play on Friday.

“When we go into commu-nities it’s really important to talk to coaches, it’s important to talk to officials, it’s impor-tant to talk to parents, it’s im-portant to have those semi-nars and those opportunities when you can just talk about the game and play catch with your audience and leave more than just the game behind—I think that’s most important. I think Hockey Canada has been very good at for years and years and years, is leaving more than just the game.”

Draggo added that impact-ing minor hockey players by showing them what their fu-ture can hold, has long been the mandate for Hockey Can-ada.

“In my mind, this is really what we have to showcase for minor hockey in order to create some interest and get some new people involved in our game,” he said. “We have so many new Canadians that really don’t know what our game is all about and it’s im-portant that we let them know, not only is it a fun and inter-esting game, but it’s safe and something that they should be getting involved in.”

Olympian preaches passion at girls hockey jamboree

MIKE CARTER PHOTOS(Above) Olympian Becky Kellar-Duke, in conjunction with Hockey Canada and the Dawson Creek Minor Hockey Association, held a female hockey jamboree Saturday afternoon in Dawson Creek at the Memorial arena.(Below) The girls were put through their paces on drills that worked on puck han-dling, skating and hockey sense.

Continued from Page A2can leave one thing behind.“I think it starts with passion. If you

don’t love it, it’s really hard to be very suc-cessful at it. I mean you can like it, and do okay and have fun in the game, but if you

really want to succeed at the next level you have to have that passion,” she said.

In conjunction with hoping to infuse some passion, Kellar, who started her hockey career first as a ringette player, knows what the most important skill for

young female hockey players is on the ice if they hope to have success in the future.

“Skating. If you can’t get to the puck, you can’t win those races and those bat-tles,” she said.

“I know watching my own kids go through the system now there is a huge emphasis on that now in the early years before they get into a lot of the other stuff. These girls are a range of ages too, so we did all sorts of skill development.”

And while Kellar was happy to see the enthusiasm from the young girls, she was even happier that most of the girls in the region have chance to play on an all girls team.

“I think it’s huge for the development of the game,” Kellar said of exclusive girls teams.

“There are a number of girls that will go play boys hockey and they will feel com-fortable there and they will like it. But re-ally I think the larger number don’t want to be on a boys team.

“I think they prefer to be with girls. I’ve found with my own experience that you lose a lot of what hockey has to offer when you are not in the change room, which a lot of the times the girls aren’t. I think it’s great that they are developing their own teams… most of them want to be in that environment where they feel more con-fortable and that’s with other girls.”

One last piece of advice Kellar hoped to leave with the young girls that gathered from Dawson Creek, Chetwynd, Clear-view, Fort St. John and Taylor was that in the long run, having a dream isn’t easy but the reward when you accomplish that dream is far greater if the road wasn’t an easy one.

“I just think that’s not easy,” she said. “There will be challenges and bumps

along the way, there certainly were be-tween the time that I first had said this is what I want to the last day that I skated with team Canada. It had its moments where it was a bumpy road. But I think sometimes fighting through those chal-lenges is what made it so worth wild in the end.”

Local NewsUNBC hitchhiking study expanded to include the Peace Region

Why do people hitchhike in northern B.C.?

Researchers at the University of Northern B.C. are trying to get to the bottom of that thorny question. For the first time since launching the hitchhiking study in 2012, the Peace Region will be part of the answer.

Researchers were in the Peace earlier this month for a series of interviews with hitchhikers.

The joint UNBC and RCMP study was touched off by the 2006 report of the Highway of Tears Symposium, which noted little is known about who hitch-hikes in northern B.C. and why they do it.

The symposium studied the factors contributing to more than a dozen murders along Highway 16—many of them in-volving aboriginal women—be-tween 1969 and 2011.

Dr. Jacqueline Holler, a mem-ber of UNBC's Women's and Gender Studies Department, said the aim is to produce rec-ommendations for government that could make transportation safer in the north.

"We're not experts on trans-portation, we're just talking to the people who are hitchhik-ing," she said. "They're knowl-edgeable about what (services) they might use."

While interviews have only begun in the Peace, Holler said the research will show whether hitchhikers face distinct risks in different parts of the north.

“The Peace is in some ways more remote than the Highway of Tears,” she said. “If you think of the areas north of Fort St. John, that’s a pretty desolate highway. Not a lot of traffic there a lot of the time.”

What those recommendations might entail remains to be seen.

“Anyone who thinks they can eliminate hitchhiking by having a bus once a day or something like that, they’re going to find things Continued on Page A12

THE LEGION REMEMBERS THOSE WHO SACRIFICED

By Cmrd. Day RobertsRemembrance Day, is one day a year set

aside to pay tribute to those who lost their lives during both World Wars, the Korean Confl ict, the Gulf War, the confl ict in Af-ghanistan, and while serving with Canadi-an and international peace-keeping forces, and is a time to honour all veterans who served the cause of peace and freedom in all corners of the world.

Each year the Royal Canadian Legion perpetuates the memory of the fallen and those who served and were wounded, with ceremonies across Canada at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month which was when the guns fell silent signalling the end of the First World War.

We as Canadians have much to be proud of, and the very least we must do is remem-ber those sacrifi ces made on our behalf, by the men and women who served and con-tinue to serve our nation.

The Royal Canadian Legion continues to honour the memory of our veterans by en-suring the maintenance of the Poppy Cam-

paign, the implementation of the National Remembrance Ceremony in Ottawa and the co-ordination of local Remembrance Ceremonies across the country. As well the Legion supports the veterans and their families in need, promotes the continua-tion of Youth Literary and Poster Contests, and through other national and local pro-grams continues to promote the Two Min-utes of Silence.

During the First World War (1914-1918) 628,736 Canadians served, 66,573 died, 138,166 were wounded, 2,818 were taken prisoner of war and 175 merchant seamen died by enemy action.

In the Second World War (1939-1945) 1,031,902 males and 49,963 female Ca-nadians served, 44,927 died, 53,145 were wounded, 8,271 were taken prisoner of war, and 1,146 merchant seamen died by enemy action.

PRAYER OF REMEMBRANCE (IN UNISON)

Almighty God we come together today to remember past wars and to pray for peace. We thank you for the assurance of your love in times of peace and in the midst of confl ict and war. We thank you for the land in which we live and for those who are willing to defend it. We especially give thanks to those who gave their lives and for those who have suff ered from the physical and psychological scars of battle. May the memory of these acts of heroism inspire and encourage us as we work for peace. Be with our nation’s leaders; help them to govern to ensure justice and peace for us and all the world. This we pray in the name of God.

HYMN: ABIDE WITH ME1. Abide with me; fast falls the eventide: The darkness deepens; Lord, with me abide; When other helpers fail, and comforts fl ee, Help of the helpless, O abide with me.2. I need thy presence every passing hour; What but thy grace can foil the tempter’s power? Who like thyself my guide and stay can be? Through cloud and sunshine, O abide with me.3. I fear no foe, with thee at hand to bless; His have no weight, and tears no bitterness. Where is deaths sting? Where, grave thy victory? I triumph still if thou abide with me.4. Hold thou thy cross before my closing eyes; Shine through the gloom, and point me to the skies; Heaven’s morning breaks, and earth’s vain shadows fl ee; In life, in death, O Lord, abide with me.

GIVE PAUSE ON REMEMBRANCE DAYThroughout history, millions of soldiers have marched

into wars to protect the freedoms of their countries. Remembrance Day is a solemn time to commemorate those soldiers’ achievements and sacrifi ces and to pay respects to soldiers who died in battle.

In the United States, people honor their present and past military on Veterans’ Day. In British commonwealth countries and territories, including Canada, November 11 is known as Remembrance Day. Since the end of World War I, memorials to remember those of the armed forces who fought in battle and perished in the line of duty have been dedicated on this day.

Armistice Day originsRemembrance Day was once known as Armistice Day

because it marks the signing of the armistice that put an end to the hostilities of World War I. On the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of the year, guns fell silent after more than four years of continuous warfare between the Germans and Allied troops. The armistice agreement was signed in a French train carriage at 11 a.m. Later, the carriage where the historic event took place was placed in a specially constructed building to serve as a monument to the defeat of Germany. Although it was moved by German forces and later destroyed during World War II, after that war ended a replacement carriage, correct in every detail, was

rededicated on Armistice Day in 1950. Remembrance Day evolutionArmistice Day was renamed Remembrance Day after

World War II to commemorate soldiers from both world wars. It is now used as a way to pay hommage to any fallen soldier.

Each year a national ceremony takes place at the Cenotaph in Whitehall, London, a monument erected as a memorial to soldiers buried elsewhere. The Queen will lay the fi rst wreath at the Cenotaph, while others will leave wreaths and small wooden crosses.

In Canada, Remembrance Day is a statutory holiday in many provinces and territories. Offi cial national ceremonies are held at the National War Memorial in Ottawa. Events begin with the tolling of the Carillon in the Peace Tower, during which members of the Canadian Forces participate and congregate at Confederation Square. Similar ceremonies take place in provincial capitals across the country. Very often moments of silence are offered for lost lives.

What about the poppies?One of the unifying symbols of Remembrance Day is the

poppy that is worn to honor lost soldiers. The bold, red color of the fl ower has become an enduring symbol of those who died so that others may be free.

The poppy became a symbol for a specifi c reason. Some

of the most concentrated and bloody fi ghting of World War I took place in Flanders, a region in western Belgium. As a result of the fi ghting, most signs of natural life had been obliterated from the region, leaving behind mud and not much else. The only living thing to survive was the poppy fl ower, which bloomed with the coming of the warm weather the year after fi ghting in the region had ceased. Poppies grow in disturbed soil and can lie dormant in the ground without germinating. Without the war, they may have never come to the surface.

John McCrae, a doctor serving with the Canadian Armed Forces, was moved by the vision of poppies fl owering in Flanders and wrote a poem titled “In Flanders Fields.” After the poem was published, it received international acclaim, and the poppy became a popular symbol of those lost in battle.

Men traditionally wear the poppy on the left side of the chest, where a military medal would be placed. Women wear it on the right side because that is where a widow would wear her husband’s medals.

Remembrance Day is celebrated every year, providing people humbled by the sacrifi ces of soldiers an opportunity to remember those soldiers’ efforts to secure freedom.

LEGION EXTENDS SINCERE THANKS

Legion Branch #141 extends a sincere thanks to the businesses and individuals who helped dis-tribute poppies, especially thanks to members of Dawson Creek Air Cadet Squadron #353, to the mer-chants, groups, service clubs, and others who purchased wreaths, and to members of the general public who donated money to the annual poppy campaign. Your sup-port of the poppy campaign is very much appreciated.

Legion Branch #141 extends grateful thanks to School District #59 for the generous use of Un-chagah Hall for the Remember-ance Day Services. Dawson Creek Legion began indoor services in 1991. Some other northern Legion Branches which usually faced cold temperatures and icy conditions, also moved their ceremonies in-

doors out of respect for their aging members, the general public and for the very young children who continue to take an active role in Rememberance Day Services.

monwealth subjects of federal voting age may be eligible for Le-gion membership in one of three categories: ordinary, associate, or affi liate membership. For more about Legion membership, inter-ested persons should contact one of the many Legion branches lo-cated in communities across the country. Membership application forms and informamtion about

“Sometimes people just need to go right now. They need to get away from a bad situation, or there are no transportation options until the next day.”

HOCKEY - continued from Page A4 a region that might never get a chance to see hockey like this again, Renney would like to think youth will be inspired in both their pur-suit of the game and interest in it as well.

“Any time children get an opportunity to watch this calibre of play, especially when it’s international like this, it just heightens their awareness of the game and hopefully their de-sire to play. We understand it’s a family deci-sion. We hope that mom and dad are here with them experiencing this with them and under-standing just how terrific this game is.

“This doesn’t have to be the end point for them either, they don’ have to be an under 17 player on one of these three teams at any point and time. Most important of all is they choose hockey as an activity to participate in for life and I think this helps set the table.”

While there are no direct Peace Region con-nections that will take the ice over the seven-day tournament, a goalie from each commu-nity has already had the chance to suit up for a practice and a game, due to an injury in Team White’s net.

“You just never know how that might inspire him to do whatever,” Renney said of the first local goalie to temporarily suit up for Canada.

“It doesn’t have to be hockey at the end of the day. He had a special experience and I’m sure he loved it, I told our coach today, I said make sure you tap him on the shoulder and tell him he’s got to go today because our starter got hurt and see how he reacts to that.

“But it’s just terrific, it reminds me of the old national team days when I was coaching that team and we would inevitably have to pick up a local guy to jump into our lineup because someone got hurt on one of our tours. It’s won-derful, that’s Canadiana, all the way through.”

Preliminary action continues on Monday and Tuesday in both Fort St. John and Dawson Creek with game one of the day starting at 2:30 and game two each day going at 7 p.m.

DAWSON CREEK — Half a world away, a group of American teenagers found a little piece of home in Daw-son Creek.

Not knowing what they were walking into, the 20 teens from Team USA, along with their coaches and USA Hock-ey representatives in town for the World Under-17 Hockey Challenge, strolled into the downtown Alaska Highway House museum on Oct. 31 and were astounded at what they saw.

Most did not know that the town would not be what it is today if it weren’t for the U.S. military, which used the area as a base camp for the construction of the Alaska Highway in 1942 to serve as a north-south supply route during the Second World War.

It’s a little-known piece of their country’s history that they were introduced to for the first time.

“I didn’t know much about it,” assistant coach Eric Fohr said. “It’ll be a good little his-tory lesson for the team that they wouldn’t get otherwise.”

In the United States National Development Team pro-gram, the team plays together for two years, travelling to international events. So, head coach Don Granato isn’t too much worried about team building at this point with ex-ercises like this.

“This is not a hockey day,” he said. “This is beyond hockey, this is a life day. It’s more about how this is impor-tant history.”

How did this all come about? Hockey USA representatives, some of whom have trav-

elled the highway before and have been to Dawson Creek, approached staff at the local tourism office to set up a pri-vate tour.

“It’s great that they have this place and people that can explain to us in detail what this is all about,” Granato said.

Of the three big trips the team does each year, they al-ways try to take the team out to learn about the local his-tory of the places they visit, Fohr added.

Finding a slice of home ice advantage in a semi-remote northern Canadian town is something coach Granato

might use to help his team’s mental prepa-ration in the lead-up to the tournament.

“This is a fun event because the Under-17s, (the players) really have no idea what they’re in for,” he said. “They don’t have any experi-ence. So, by the time you get these guys to the Under-18 year, they’ve had three events at least where they’ve had interna-tional competition.”

The team's win over Canada Red on Oct. 30 was the first time the group had played against an-

other country. “This is what our program is for,” Granato said. “It's set

up so we give them two years against international com-petition, with our jersey on, and they get not only the ex-perience, but the pride.

“In Canada, you don't have to help your players de-velop pride in (their national hockey program), they grow up on it. In the United States, they grow up on baseball, football, basketball, and Hollywood movies. Hockey isn't

at the forefront and as much a part of the social fabric as it is here in Canada. For us, it's different. We have to work at getting our players, that are passionate about the game, exposure at a high level.”

Over the next week, the coaching staff and the play-ers will learn where they fit as a hockey team on the in-ternational stage. Saturday afternoon, they learned about the contributions their country made on that same stage, shaping a town from its pioneer roots into what it is today.

Team USA finds a slice of home half a world away

Someone, or something, still resides in the Johnson Home.

That's the theory of a group of para-normal investigators who've taken an in-terest in the pioneer homestead in Daw-son Creek.

Members of Grande Prairie-based SPIRIT, the Supernatural Paranormal In-vestigation Research Institute, visited the 30s-era log cabin in the Pioneer Village this summer.

Relocated to the museum in the 1970s from its original site north of Rolla, the log cabin once belonged to the family of Dorval Johnson.

Darcy Baruta, an investigator who works as a security guard, said paranor-mal activity wasn't obvious in the two-storey building when the team visited in June.

Baruta and other ghost hunters use a device called a K-II Meter that lights up when it encounters electromagnetic fi elds supposedly emitted by spirits, as well as audio equipment to record so-called elec-tronic voice phenomena (EVPs).

When Baruta and co-investigator Charles Flowers listened to an enhanced recording, they heard a voice.

"When I was in there asking ques-tions—'is it okay for us to be here? We just want to talk to you'–one of the voices in the old house came back and said 'go away, get out.'"

Skeptics say EVPs are simply people hearing what they want to hear, but Ba-ruta said the voice was clear.

"I've never gotten anything that strong and that clear before," he said.

Village manager Anne Haycock said that while the museum has a mix of rep-lica and original structures, the SPIRIT team only noticed activity in the real buildings.

"That was my little trap I was setting up for those ghostbusters. If they told me there was stuff going on in a replica build-ing, I wasn't going to be very impressed with that.

"I'm not saying I'm not a believer," she said with a laugh.

Baruta and SPIRIT also found signs of paranormal activity in the village black-smith shop, and hope to investigate the Dawson Creek Museum, which is ru-moured to be haunted by a young woman and a soldier.

The group previously investigated the theatre at Grande Prairie Regional College for spirits.

"I believe it's the old piano in there that's got an energy," Baruta said.

He became interested in the paranor-mal activity when he was a kid in Clear-water, B.C.

"I was the only one that saw the appa-ritions in the house, but my brother saw animals, cats run up the stairs and disap-pear."

As for why a spirit might hang around the Johnson Home, Baruta couldn't say for certain.

"If it's a house they really attached themselves to, they just don't want to leave for whatever reason, that energy can still reside in the house."

THAT'S

One wouldn’t expect a man with a bunch of dolls to sell out venues all over the world.

But then, most men with dolls aren’t Jeff Dunham.

The world famous comedian and ventriloquist will be per-forming, along with his band of dummies, at the Encana Events Centre in Dawson Creek on March 20, it was announced on Wednesday.

Dunham hand-crafts each character personally from conception to the final coat of paint. His beloved troupe of sidekicks include: Walter the Grumpy Retiree, Achmed the Dead Terrorist, the beer-fueled redneck Bubba J, the manic

purple creature Peanut, the spicy pepper Jose Jalapeno and Little Jeff, a mini-version of Dunham himself.

In November 2014, Dunham and his sidekicks began their six month residency at Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino in Las Vegas. By popular de-mand “Not Playing with a Full Deck” was held over through October 2015.

This past August, Dunham shot his seventh comedy spe-cial “Jeff Dunham: Unhinged in Hollywood” during a two-night stand at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles with Special Guest Brad Paisley. The special pre-miered on NBC Sept. 17 to 7 million viewers.

Juno award winners and multi-plat-inum chart-toppers Hedley announced today that they'll be stopping in Daw-son Creek May 12 with special guests Carly Re Jepsen, and Franceso Yates.

The band promises their 2016 tour will be their most impressive show to date, with staging elements that will be-ing the band closer to the fans than ever before.

"Playing live is who we are, and go-ing on tour is the ultimate way for us to interact with our fans," frontman Jacob Hoggard said. "We're about to unveil the most spectacular tour. We can’t wait to connect with each and every one of our fans, in person... an pull some pret-ty amazing tricks out of our sleeves. We have some pretty amazing fans and we can't wait to share this with them."

Supporting Hedley on the Hello World Tour is Carly Rae Jepsen, whose infectious “Call Me Maybe” was one of

the biggest hits in the world in 2012. Returning to the charts in 2015, Carly Rae’s latest album E·MO·TION features the hit singles “I Really Like You” and “Run Away With Me”. Rounding out the incomparable pop lineup, Francesco Yates is only 20 years old but his debut single “Better to Be Loved” has already rocketed him into stardom, and was quickly followed by the swoony ballad “Call”.

VIP packages are available now at hedleyvip.com. The packages include exclusive merchandise, a meet and greet with the band, and for the first time ever, an intimate one song acous-tic performance at the meet and greet. VIP package holders will also be entered to win one of ten mysterious and very exclusive “Golden Tickets”. Check the site for details.

Tickets will go on sale Nov. 6 through livenation.com and Tiger Box Office Plus.

Local News‘Suffragette’ is

an unglamorous look at important

fight for rights

The story of women fighting for the right to vote is all too recent, and for some, all too forgot-ten. Director Sarah Gavron and writer Abi Mor-gan bring the history of the British suffragette movement to bear in the film “Suffragette,” as a reminder of the struggles that have come before, and the achievements that have yet to be won. The resulting film is dark and unglamorous, but it burns with a determined fire, giving these women a revolutionary hero treatment.

“Suffragette” is carried by the excellent Carey Mulligan, who does career-best acting in an un-showy role. Her Maud Watts is a fictional stand in for the working class women drawn into the movement in the early 20th century, fight-ing alongside real historical figures Emmeline Continued on Page B8

Jeff Dunham coming to

Dawson Creek

Continued fromPage B3Pankhurst (Meryl Streep, in a glorified cameo) and Emily

Davison (Natalie Press). As Maud, Mulligan is drawn and wan, her eyes tired, her mouth pulled into a wry, sad smirk, like she can’t even believe her situation herself. From a contemporary perspective, it’s hard to comprehend the realities of this bru-tal, bloody battle.

Maud works in a huge industrial laundry run by a sadistic, lecherous man, Taylor (Geoff Bell). As she testifies before a government committee, she was born there, her mother car-rying her on her back while she worked. Maud started work at age 7, and at 24, the dangerous, injurious work of steam, irons and clouds of linen are all she’s ever known. Her hus-band, Sonny (Ben Whishaw), is passive, cowardly. The great-est, and only, joy in Maud’s life is her small son, George (Adam Michael Dodd).

At the laundry, her mouthy friend Violet (Anne-Marie Duff) starts to spout off about “Votes for Women!” and with the prodding of proud suffragette pharmacist Edith Ellyn (Helena Bonham Carter), and upper-class activist Alice Haughton (Ro-mola Garai), Maud is soon embroiled in the fight.

Spurred by entreaties to civil disobedience espoused in Emmeline Pankhurst’s secret speeches, they become a group of feminist terrorists, which garners the attention of law en-forcement. Like many other freedom fighters and revolution-aries throughout history, they are subjected to government surveillance, imprisonment and torture while fighting for their rights. These suppressive actions, enacted by a group of men scared to lose their power, only inspire the women to fight back with even more ferocity.

The torment that Maud is put through is devastating, but “Suffragette,” as a film, often robs itself of its own emotion-al power. The film is shot with hand-held cinematography, which helps to bring an immediacy to early 20th century London. But during dramatic moments, the handheld close ups are chaotic and confounding. During a powerful scene where Maud stands up to her nemesis, Inspector Steed (Bren-dan Gleeson), her face is partially obscured by his shoulder. It could be a visual metaphor for the continued presence of oppressive patriarchy that obstructs her path, but it’s also a frustrating obstacle in the audience feeling Maud’s vigor when she fully comes into her own power.

Despite these questionable aesthetic choices, “Suffragette” successfully ties together varied themes that place the move-ment within a wider context of civil rights struggles. The right to vote is motivated by economic and labor issues, and stoked by government persecution. This revolution looks like others that we’ve seen on screen, and the film legitimizes it while also offering a stark reminder that the fight is far from over.

‘Suffragette’ is an unglamorous

look at important fight for rights
