Skatepark now open
FORT ST. JOHN – The Rotary Skate Park opening couldn’t come any sooner for skate-boarders, bikers and scooter-enthusiasts.
“It feels like a long time comin’, at the same time I’ve been gone for the last little while so I feel like it just appeared, but I know that a lot of people worked really hard on it,” said skate park committee co-chair Adam Kirsch-ner, who has been in between Fort St. John and Vancouver for the past year. “And the weather hasn’t been cooperating as much as they’d like to throughout the summer. So I think everyone is just excited to fi nally have it be out here, and able to try it out.”
On Sept. 3 a multitude of kids, youth and adults equipped with their preferred set of wheels covered the 25,000-squre foot park for the opening day. They were joined by city of-fi cials, the Fort St. John sports council, a repre-sentative from the MLA’s offi ce, sponsors and skate park committee organizers Kirschner and Clinton Green.
“We had a lot of hoops to jump through in this project and this is the end result,” said Green.
The skate park committee approached city council in the summer of 2011, where they got the go-ahead to proceed with their project. The city donated the land, which is located on 93 Street and 93 Avenue, across from the devel-oping new fi re hall. The rest of the fundraising was left to the committee. In two years they

FORT ST. JOHN – Mayor Lori Ackerman and city manager Di-anne Hunter took a two-day trip to Fort McMurray last week in hopes to learn from a community that has been down the road Fort St. John appears to be heading.
“We have a very steady growth rate right now, and at this time it’s just manageable,” explained Ack-erman. “There are a few projects on the books that, if approved, could really increase our growth rate dramatically. So, the intention of the trip was to go and visit a com-munity that has experienced that type of growth rate from a resource industry perspective and see what they did and how they managed it.”
The mayor and city manager met with the regional municipality’s mayor Melissa Blake and the chief administrative offi cer.
The main lesson Ackerman and Hunter brought back was the im-portance of planning. “Plan big, and communicate those plan, if you don’t grow as quickly at least you got that plan for the future,” said Ackerman on what she learned from Blake.
“What [Fort McMurray is] fi nd-ing now is that buildings or streets were put in place because it was easy to do, only to fi nd out a few years later that perhaps that street should not have been put there.”

DAWSON CREEK - Railroads have helped shape and develop the nation and still play an important role today. The Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM) has re-cently struck up a working group to ensure they continue doing so in a safe manner.
After the train derailment in Lac-Megantic, Que. on Jul.
6 that resulted in the explo-sion of multiple tank cars carrying oil and the con-fi rmed death of 47 people, FCM president, Claude Dau-phin received several emails from members that were concerned about rail safety.
“You can imagine all the municipalities, all the coun-cillors, all the mayors of the cities were concerned be-cause we all have a railway system in our community. Where I live, where I’m the mayor of, it’s everywhere,” Dauphin said.
The National Municipal Rail Safety Working Group (NMRSWG), comprised of nine municipal representa-tives across Canada, had their second meeting on Aug. 23 and after several hours of discussion came to a consensus on three items of action to address rail safety issues.
Their fi rst priority is to equip and support municipal fi rst responders to rail emergencies. Dauphin and the rest of the working group believe it’s important for municipalities to know what dangerous goods are being transported through their communities in order for fi rst responders to be pre-pared in an emergency situation.
“Firefi ghters, police offi cers, they need to know so... lo-cal services can plan and respond effectively to emergen-cies. The problem right now is that there is no regulation that requires railways to share this information. This is why we’re calling for a partnership, a real partnership and we need to know in regulation so that our fi rst responders are fully equipped to respond to emergencies,” said Dauphin,
adding that different products being transported need dif-ferent emergency responses.
Inquires made to CN about the cargo going through Dawson Creek and the Peace River Regional District were not returned as of press time.
Rail companies are responsible for the safety of their rail line infrastructure, equipment and operations. This in-cludes inspection, testing, and maintenance, according to Sara Johnston, communications offi cer at Transport Can-ada. She said that Transport Canada’s oversight includes monitoring the railway companies for compliance with rules and regulation; they conduct audits, inspections and where appropriate, investigations.
The second item the group adopted was to ensure federal and industry policies and regulations address the rail safety concerns of municipalities.

DAWSON CREEK - After a delay of approximately eight months Shell has fi nished construction on their latest natural gas plant, Saturn 1, and have entered the commis-sioning stage.
Operators and staff will take the next two months to be trained on the equipment and conduct a series of tests be-fore the plant will become operational. Once in operation, the plant will be able to produce a capacity of 200 mil-lion cubic feet of natural gas a day. Operations manager for northeast B.C. Rejean Tetrault said this amounts to approx-imately six per cent of what is produced in the province.
“It’s the start of constructing gas plants...we believe that we can construct them effi ciently and cost effectively, and we see it as a start really of one day being able to deliver larger volumes of gas, potentially to the coast,” said Tet-rault.
The natural gas produced from Saturn 1 will be deliv-ered east through the TransCanada Groundbirch extension pipeline.
Saturn 1 is the sixth natural gas processing plant built in Shell’s Groundbirch Venture, developed on 300 square miles of land in the Sunset Community Pasture.
Two more plants are expected to be built at the Saturn 1 location within the next decade. Saturn 1, 2 and 3 to-gether will have a maximum production capacity of ap-proximately 600 million cubic feet a day. Tetrault predicts this to be approximately 20 per cent of the gas produced in the province; he said the natural gas could potentially feed TransCanada’s proposed Coastal Gaslink Pipeline.
Up until this point the biggest plant Shell has constructed was their Montney Four plant which began producing last year.
“We’ve done smaller plants, this is the fi rst time that we’ve done a plant to this size...this is the fi rst one which we’ve sort of designed from the start if you would, with a fully integrated water management system, so we can do
the water recycling, etcetera,” Tetrault said. Shell partnered with the City of Dawson Creek to de-
velop a water reclamation facility where residents’ waste water was cleaned and piped to the Groundbirch Venture to be used for hydraulic fracturing.
Tetrault said it’s with this type of innovation that will help Shell become a major competitor in the natural gas industry. He lists the onsite turbines as another one of the project’s innovations. There is currently no power in the area, and Shell is planning on using the turbines for elec-tricity until BC Hydro’s Dawson Creek Chetwynd Area Transmission line is installed.

raised over $626,000 with an additional $6,000 of in-kind donations. The provincial government pre-sented a grant worth over $450,000 and the Fort St. John Sunset Rotary Club donated $150,000. Local companies and community residents donated the rest of the funds.
When the skate park committee fi rst started they teamed up with the sports council. “A group of young people approached our committee with a dream and a request,” said Gail Weber, a representative from the Fort St. John sports council. “They showed us the importance of all rec-
reation for young people in our community. Through their eyes we saw the need for unstructured recreation for those who can not take part in registered sports for many reasons, those who choose not to be part of reg-istered sport and those who are registered in sport but still want something else to do in their free time.”
The park is open to all age groups and has the po-tential to be expanded in the future. It is designed to ac-commodate all riding levels as it features different stair lengths, tabletops, ledges for grinding and sliding and a pool-style bowl.
“This has everything you need to progress in what-ever extreme sport you’re doing,” said Kirschner.
New Line Skatepark, a company that has built many parks across Canada and northern B.C, con-structed the outdoor facil-ity. While the park has been openly welcomed by its sponsors and users, one neighbour remains skep-tical of the location. Roy Stagne lives on 93 Street, a few houses from the in-tersection that connects to the park. He said he’s con-cerned the park will draw kids “who are up to no good” into the neighbour-hood.
The location was chosen so it could be easily moni-tored by driving by. “It’s good, you know, you can keep tabs on [kids/youth] and you know where they are,” said Kirschner.

FORT ST. JOHN – The growing natural resource industry has brought thousands or people into the Peace region, but for one couple it’s done the exact opposite.
Wayne and Jackie Allan were the own-ers of the Sikanni River Campground and RV Park, located two hours north of Fort St. John on the Alaska Highway, for the last nine years. They recently moved to Chilli-wack (their retirement destination) sooner than they anticipated.
“We thought we would be here another fi ve years before we had to leave, just be-cause of our age,” said Jackie, 58, “But we have been less happy this summer in partic-ular. The last couple of years, we’ve been putting up the fi ght to just keep industry a little bit at bay.”
The noise pollution is what had been keeping the couple up at night, as well as their customers who stayed at their camp-ground, according to Jackie.
“This summer is the fi rst summer in our nine seasons that we had people making complaints … we had certainly noticed the noise and the trucks, I also noticed a real increase in the traffi c on the highway driv-ing it ourselves,” she said.
Jackie doesn’t believe the traffi c will subside anytime soon, so her and her hus-band have decided to beat the rush.
“We’re on our way, we just feel sorry for the people who aren’t on their way,” said Jackie, like those who have deeper roots to the area like their neighbours and surround-ing First Nations.
“I’ve spoken to neighbours about it, and they are not as vocal as I am, but they get it, and then there is a large contingent of the neighbourhood who are making money,” said Jackie.
This past season the couple reaped the benefi ts of the growing industry, with many workers purchasing full-time RV stays.
“Wayne and I had a profi table year this year because the amount of work in the area,” explained Jackie.
Yet, despite the increase in clientele, it’s not enough to keep them grounded along the Sikanni River.
“We could stay here and take the money if we wanted to, but my guts just can’t stand it. I just want to cry when I see what’s going on in the area, it’s just not me. We bought this place because it was a pretty piece of land and it was a quiet little spot to call home.”
Hardy Friedrich, communication man-ager with the Oil and Gas Commission, said maintaining quality of life for resi-dents near oil and gas activity is a priority for the Commission. “Many quality of life requirements are addressed early when in-dustry submits an application to the Com-mission—such as decibel limits for opera-tions,” said Friedrich in an email.
“After a permit is issued, if there is a complaint from a resident regarding noise, Commission inspectors are available 24-7 and will visit the scene with a decibel me-ter. If noise is above thresholds necessary actions will be taken. Industry also uses various techniques to minimize noise such
as buffers and noise-reduction muffl ers.”While the Commission, a regulator for
oil and gas companies as well as citizens, take these measures to combat noise pollu-tion. Jackie didn’t push for any action to be taken. “We’ve mentioned it in passing, but with it being at the Alaska Highway, every-one can use it as they see fi t.”
Last year, though, she put up a fi ght to re-duce water withdrawal from the Sikanni River for frack-ing purposes.
“The one activity we put a lot of time and effort into was to ensure there was a compromise, was to make it bearable to offer our guests an enjoyable evening,” ex-plained Jackie.
The BC OGC issued a water-withdraw-ing permit in the Sikanni area near the Al-len’s campground. “[The permit] contained a number of conditions to ensure noise re-
duction and continual noise monitoring,” said Friedrich. “Also, a landowner liaison was dedicated to working with the camp-ground owners and the company to ensure information was being shared and fi nd solu-tions to reduce noise levels,” he added.
While that situation did improve, it was only a matter of time until noise pollution presented itself.
“[Industry activity is] just starting to happen … it will get busier and busier and busier, and there will be more cut lines, more roads pushed in, more berry patches
bulldozed, and the moose will be harder to fi nd,” said Jackie.
Jackie isn’t new to the north, or the Alaska Highway. “I’ve lived on the Alaska Highway for a lot of years, and been an advocate for tourists,” she said. Jackie and Wayne raised their family north of Fort Nelson for 30 years before they bought the RV Park.
“As this activity increases, I don’t be-lieve the tourist will experience the true Alaska Highway adventure that we re-member years back, until they get north of Fort Nelson,” she said.
Jackie has written Letters to the Editor to community newspaper in the Peace region regarding her situation, as she feels it’s important to voice experiences that are happening around the area.“Even if you don’t share the popular
opinion that it’s all about economic devel-opment, if they have something to say they should feel comfortable saying it.”
We could stay here if we wanted to, but my guts just
can’t stand it. I just want to cry when I see what’s going on in
the area

There’s never an easy way to call a family, friend or coworker of a person who has passed away—especially if you’re not sending condolences.
Yet this is something that journalists deal with every day. My fellow journalists have encountered this time and time again, myself included.
Nobody wants to be the person who comes knocking on the door, or making that phone call to get a quote, but at the end of the day it’s still part of our job description.
From my experience, it doesn’t get any easier.I don’t particularly want to make those calls. It’s not
something that excites me, or entertains me. I don’t do it because I think it will make my story ‘juicier’ or more eye catching. I don’t bask in this. Not one bit.
I do, however, make these calls, or approach those who
have lost someone to understand the story to it’s fullest. I know that there is never one side to a story, and so my job, or should I say duty, is to present the other side.
If I get a news release about a death that I feel the public should be aware of, as it may raise safety or social issues, my duty is to fi nd out how and why. This may lead me to contacting those who may have been personally or profes-sionally affected.
There is no easy way to do this, and I understand being turned down. I get it, if I was on the other side of the line I’d most likely do the same thing. But there is a standard of reporting that I must abide by. I know that as journalists I am not going to be liked by everyone, but I have to take chances that may possibly give me an insight into the truth.
When it comes down to it, I seek accuracy. That may mean I’ll step on toes, but I’d rather have taken those steps than nothing at all.Kyla CorpuzAssistant editor
Reporting on a death
It is hard to believe that it has been 4 months since the election. Things have been very busy and very exciting rep-resenting Peace River South and I am happy to give this update. I was offi cially sworn in at the beginning of June and began my fi rst month-long session in Victoria shortly after. After returning home from Victoria, work began on my new constituency offi ce which is now open. I am very fortunate to have Cindy Fisher running the offi ce and we are ready to assist you in any way we can. We are hoping you will join us on September 13th for our Grand Opening and Open House taking place from 10 am to Noon at the new offi ce at 1100 Alaska Avenue in Dawson Creek.
August was a very busy month in the South Peace. I was privileged to be invited and participate in the West Mober-ly Days and assist Chief Roland Willson with the pancake breakfast. (It seems like pancakes and MLA’s go together so I better get a treadmill) Once again I had the privilege of being part of the annual Dawson Creek Fall Fair pancake breakfast and parade. I would like to give a big thank you to Dale and Maxine Campbell for once again generously providing my wife Valerie and I horse drawn transporta-tion for the parade. I also attended the Roman Mine an-nouncement in Tumbler Ridge with Minister Bill Bennett which will add more sustainable jobs to our diverse region. I then enjoyed a great morning at the BC Parks celebration at Gwillim Lake for the opening of the new playground do-nated by Tech and Walter Energy. Thanks to all the parks staff, volunteers, organizers, and the members of the Doig River First Nation for the hospitality.
September is gearing up to be a very busy month with committee meetings in Victoria, the annual Union of BC Municipalities Annual Convention and travels around the Peace making presentations.
I am looking forward to doing monthly updates to let you know what is happening that affects all of us in the South Peace and what I have been doing to represent you. Please remember to let me know if you will ever be in Victoria, if it is while I am there I would love to show you around the Legislature.
Cindy and I are happy to help with any issues concerning the Provincial Government. Please use any of the contact methods below or go to my website at www.mikeberni-ermla.ca to send us an email message. Please remember to include your full address in any correspondence so that we can contact you.Mike Bernier,MLA South Peace

FORT ST. JOHN – A historic home-stead and government building have been brought back to its former glory and its doors are now open for the public at the North Peace Museum.
The museum hosted a ribbon-cutting cer-
emony on Sept. 7 with special guests Har-old Billings and Alene Peck.
Billings worked for the BC provincial police and the RCMP as well as a safety in-spector before retiring in 1985. He was the honoured guest for the opening of a B.C. government building that was used twice as a jail. The building was fully renovated with police barracks, a kitchen and exhibits of past offi cers who served the area.
It took over a decade to fi nish the police barracks. It was renovated and moved sev-eral times before it was fully completed for viewing at the museum.
The other site was the Paddy Carroll and Peck cabin. It once belonged to Peck, the second special guest.
It was originally built in the 1940s by Paddy Carroll, who sold it to the Pecks 10 years later.
The cabin had then been rented to dif-ferent couples, but always remained on the Peck’s land. In 2004 the Peck’s sold the property to Gene McGregor who donated the cabin to the North Peace Historical So-ciety.
Heather Longworth, the North Peace Museum curator said the two buildings were renovated through grants from the Regional District.

Zimmer to back D.C.’s next water security moveJILL [email protected]
Photo Jill Earl MP for the Prince George-Peace River riding, Bob Zimmer, made a special visit to Dawson Creek council, Sept.3.
DAWSON CREEK -Water Security has been on the minds of city councillors and residents alike for over a year. Member of Parliament for Prince-George-Peace River Bob Zimmer has also become aware of the city’s water issues, after hearing concerns from a number of residents.
During a special visit to council on Sept. 3, Zimmer noted that the most popular con-cern he’s heard from his constituents is wa-ter security.
He recognized the City of Dawson Creek’s partnership with Shell and their collaborative development of the water rec-lamation facility to reduce industry’s use of potable water, and highlighted the impor-tance of being able to sustain the growing oil and gas industry.
“I still hear the long-term concerns of being able to sustain an industry that needs water, and municipalities that needs water as well,” Zimmer said.
“Fort St. John has already got the oil in-dustry and you have it here in a big way, too, and it’s expanding. We wouldn’t want to limit that growth for something as simple as water, or something like that,” he added.
Council is currently examining different sources of water the city could access for future sustainability. Their SureWater cam-paign has provided an opportunity for pub-lic feedback. Zimmer said that he would like to help the city in securing their water through whichever method is decided.
“If you want to pursue another water source in the way of a pipeline or wells ... I’d like to pursue that with you. If you want to go for federal money, I would like to help you that way. No guarantees, but I would defi nitely go to bat for it,” he said.
Zimmer added that he would try and track down any source of funding he could for the potential project, however; city council would fi rst need to approve the project before funding can be sought. Zimmer acknowledged that this situation can become a lot like the chicken and the
egg paradox: municipalities need to know where their source of funding for projects is going to come from before they can ap-prove the project and apply for funding.
“The project needs to be initiated and start before I can go and seek funding for it,” Zimmer said.
After meeting with the president of the Union of British Columbia Municipalities Mayor Mary Sjostrom, Zimmer heard their organization wanted more investment into infrastructure.
The MP added that infrastructure was an issue across Canada, and that the federal government would need to make cuts in or-der to fulfi ll Sjostrom’s request.
“To accommodate the extra spending in infrastructure, what would you like us to cut? Because there is a fi nite amount of money, it’s called the taxpayer’s wallet. We can only keep going back to that wallet so much before people say enough, and I think people are there now,” he said.
Zimmer said the government is look-ing for advice on how it should pay for the
resquested infrastructure projects and areas where they believe funding can be cut or maximized.
“We need some advice, [such as] ‘we think you’re spending too much here or there,’ and just give us your response,” Zimmer added.
Last year, Zimmer opened up an offi ce in Dawson Creek. Coun. Shaely Wilbur thanked Zimmer for doing so, stating that many of his constituents appreciate it.
Zimmer is only able to visit his constitu-ents in his large Prince George-Peace River riding a week out of the month. He said he is hoping to extend the hours in the Dawson Creek offi ce, but is still working out how he can make that possible with three other offi ces open.
“It’s good to have a presence here and open up the offi ce at least one more day a week, but we’ll see how that can happen with current staffi ng as well. It’s good to be here and good to have the offi ce open fi nally,” Zimmer said.

extension, said Ackerman, who added that extending the city limits is vital in ac-commodating growth.
“We’re looking right now at a boundary extension and what that would look like. Regardless of whether or not the plans would actually go forward we need to plan what a community would
look like,” she said.Boundary extension has
been on the table since the late 2000s, but has been met with opposition from rural residents.
“Extending the bound-aries is crucial with the growth that is expected to come,” said Ackerman. “We’re just about at our end for land that is available, and so, if we’re going to
grow in a sustainable fash-ion with dense residential areas then they need to be connected to a community water and sewer system.”
While Fort McMurray is looked upon as a resource town that has succumbed to its rapid growth, after mak-ing the visit Ackerman has a different view on it.
“I think after being in Fort Mac, if someone said to me ‘Never go to Fort Mac,’ I’d say, ‘You’ve nev-er been there.’ You need to experience it … even though they have a differ-ent type of industry … it’s a community that has some fabulous attributes and I think we could defi nitely learn from their lessons.”
Extending the boundaries is crucial with the growth that
is expected to come

PEACE REGION – Certain mine-permitting processes for low-impact exploration ac-tivities can now be expedited online, announced the provincial government last week.
“B.C. is delivering on its promise to make the permitting process more effi cient for the mining industry while ensuring that our health, safety and environmental standards are maintained,” said Bill Bennett, energy and mines minister, in a press release.
“It is important that we are responsive to industry needs as regulatory burden can stall economic growth and development,” he added.
There are three activities where a 30-day advanced notice is needed, given that a Mines Act permit has already been issued to the company: Induced polarization (charging the ground with an electrical current and measuring the response), exploration drill programs on operating mine sites and extending the timing of proposed exploration work by up to two years.
Within the 30-day period a mines inspector will pass the notice on to First Nations. This was one comment the government heard from the First Nations Energy and Mining council when they held a public consultation at the end of last year.
“First Nations in particular identifi ed a strong preference for notifi cation of activities from the Province, not proponents,” read a report from the Mines Act: Deemed Authori-zations.
Through the new regulations and permit exemptions, the gov-ernment anticipates a 15 per cent reduction in coal and mineral exploration permit applications.
NDP Energy Critic Scott Fraser, MLA for Alberni-Pacifi c Rim riding doesn’t disagree with fast tracking the mining process in principle.
“Speeding up the permitting process is actually something we campaigned on,” said Fra-ser. “We raised it in the House a number of times calling for more resources because there were huge line ups in permitting, they weren’t being processed quickly at all.”
Through the new regulation, mining companies can refer to an online site called Front-Counter BC, which gives companies quick and easy access to information they need, ac-cording to a government press release.
However, Fraser still remains skeptical about the Liberal’s approach to eliminate per-mits processing that have caused a backlog in previous years.
“Unless more resources, more people are put in place, more money, more budget—I’m afraid this might cause more problems. The reason I’m saying this … one of the concerns is that this might be paid for by reduced monitoring, so we might see reduced standards

You want your children to benefi t equitably from your estate – and you want your legacy plan to include distribu-tion methods that minimize taxes and fees while passing on maximum value to your benefi ciaries. There are four basic estate distribution methods to choose from and each has advantages and disadvantages:
1. Gifting assets before death 2. Inter vivos trusts 3. Distributing assets through your will 4. Distributing assets on death outside your will
Each of these options requires careful consideration but let’s look inside the ‘gifting option’ because it could lead to an unintended reduction in your child’s inheritance.
Generally speaking, when you gift assets by passing them to your benefi ciaries while you are still alive your es-tate can usually avoid certain administration and probate fees in common law jurisdictions. However, a capital gain may result when you transfer capital assets worth more than you paid for it – meaning you would pay the taxable portion of the capital gain. Typically, any future growth in the value of the gifted asset will be taxed in the hands
of the recipient – except in cases where you gift income-producing property to your spouse or minor children, in which case the income may be attributed back to you. Also, by gifting the asset to someone else, you lose control of it.
Let’s say that instead of ‘gifting’ an asset to your child, you decide to provide money they can use now to help with buying a home or for any other reason, or as an advance loan on their future inheritance. In your will, you should clearly state how you wish that ‘loan’ to be treated at the time of your death: Forgive it, demand repayment, or have the amount of the loan deducted from that child’s share of your estate.
If your choice is to reduce your child’s share of your estate by the amount of the ‘loan’, you must keep careful records of the amount(s) you provided to your child. If your choice is to provide a ‘living’ gift with no strings attached, leave explicit directions to that effect in your will, other-wise the loan or gift may be considered an advance on the child’s inheritance which will result in a reduction in the amount of that inheritance.
It’s also a good idea to formalize any fi nancial transac-tions with your child. A formal ‘promissory note’ proves that your child received ‘borrowed money’ and can help to protect the amount of the ‘loan’ or anything purchased with it (such as a home or property) from creditors or in the event of a marriage breakdown by assuring the amount of the loan must be repaid to you before your child’s assets are
attached or split. You want your legacy to be left exactly as you wish –
that’s why you should take the time to talk with your law-yer or professional advisor.

CHETWYND - Physicians in the district have now doubled with the recent hiring of Dr. Vanderheide and Dr. Johannes Schreve.
Both doctors will be seeing patients at the Chetwynd Medical Clinic and at the Chetwynd Hospital.
“At the moment we are not recruiting any further doctors but that puts the number up to four full-time physicians [in Chetwynd]. There has been some discussion over whether or not we should look to increase that number to fi ve, but it is not presently increased to fi ve,” said Dr. Becky Temple, northern medical director for Northern
Health. A physician has also recently been hired
to fi ll the long-standing single vacancy in Hudson’s Hope. While Chetwynd, Hud-son’s Hope and Fort Nelson have currently met their physician quota, Northern Health is still actively recruiting for the commu-nities of Dawson Creek, Fort St. John and Tumbler Ridge.
Temple said that a physician quota is infl uenced by population, distance from higher levels of care, how many hours phy-sicians want to work, and to some degree the number of physicians that have histori-cally been in the community and different characteristics about the community.
“A lot of the things in the city that might
be done by specialists in these communi-ties are done by family practitioners with advanced skills, so you actually need more family practitioners than you would in the city to cover the same population,” she said.
Northern Health is seeking fi ve general practitioners in Fort St. John and four gen-eral practitioners in Dawson Creek. They are also looking to fi ll a vacancy in Fort St. John for general surgery for the Spring of 2014 and another vacancy in Dawson Creek for obstetrics and gynecology that will become open in late Spring next year.
According to Temple, it’s common for Northern Health to start recruiting and planning to fi ll positions at least three to six months or more in advance.
“It is because we are in a rural area. It always takes us longer to fi nd the right fi t. There’s not a lot of physicians out there ac-tively looking to change their employment or actively looking for work, so that when vacancies come up it takes signifi cant time to fi ll them,” she said.
As part of an agreement between the Ministry of Health and the B.C. Medical Association, physicians moving to rural areas in B.C. (including the whole Peace River Regional District) are entitled to a $20,000-signing bonus as an incentive for physicians to work in the area. While Northern Health is actively involved in recruiting physicians, they do not employ them.

DAWSON CREEK - The Peace River Regional District is continuing to investigate the potential for a waste to energy project, that if implemented, would support their overarch-ing vision of having zero waste in the region.
The directors have recently commissioned a study that will look at potential regional partnerships for developing and building a waste to energy facility.
The recommendation came from the Solid Waste Committee; they asked that the board commit $10,000 to hire Conestoga-Rovers and Associates to carry out the investigation. The recommendation was approved during their Aug. 22 meeting.
As a part of the contract, the associates will scan and search for companies that produce a lot of waste in the area. They will then conduct interviews with possible partners to determine whether they have the potential to integrate a waste to energy facility within their operations. After assessing each company’s industrial process, their energy use and description, fuel type currently used and their steam and heat requirement, the associates will rate each on project compatibility and suggest which potential partnerships the district should pursue further.
“They are basically going to pound the pavement and knock on some doors of heavy industry that have a large amount of waste, to see if anything can be garnered in producing a facility that might ultimately take our waste rather than burying it,” said Shannon An-derson, deputy chief administrative offi cer and general manager of environmental services for the district.
Anderson said that the project would just be another option for the region to achieve their overarching goal of zero waste. He said that the region hopes to divert waste from their landfi lls and promote recycling materials as an alternative to taking them to the dump.
“We must look at alternatives to burying our garbage. Waste to energy plants are throughout the world and are ef-fective and effi cient with almost no pollution. We toured one in Denmark that was 99.97 percent clean. We must do something different than what we are presently doing,” said Solid Waste Committee chair, director Bruce Christensen, via email.
Waste to energy facilities usually incinerate the collected waste and then through different mechanisms convert it into energy. That energy then has the potential to be sold to the grid with an opportunity for some cost recovery.
Investigating the possibility of an energy to waste proj-ect is a part of the Solid Waste Management Plan, adopted by the board in 2008. The board has already explored the feasibility of the project; a report from 2010 stated that the regional district does not produce enough waste to justify the development of a facility. It said waste to energy facili-ties need at least 300,000 tonnes of waste a year, the PRRD only collects approximately 60,000 tonnes of waste at its landfi lls annually.
If the district does attract an interested partner, a num-ber of things would have to happen before construction begins, according to Anderson. The project would have to go through an environmental assessment and gain approval, impact studies would have to be completed, and entering into a long-term agreement with the company would also have to be investigated.
“This isn’t something that would happen over night...by the time that it is built and then by the time it’s producing energy, you’re talking a number of years down the road,” Anderson said.
“It’s just an investigation, we haven’t agreed to anything. We’re looking at it, it doesn’t mean that we’re going to run out and do it tomorrow...we’re not building this tomorrow, it’s just purely feasibility at this point and seeing what can come out of this,” he said.
Conestoga-Rovers and Associates expect their investiga-tion to conclude within two months.

DAWSON CREEK - The local Sons of Norway Lodge 79 celebrated their bicentennial last weekend doing what they do best, hosting a party complete with food, music and dancing.
While president of the club, Vern Braaten, said that the organization likes to keep a low profi le in the community, their social gatherings are always lively.
“It was a really fun organization to be involved in and we had lots of good times together and I guess what we do best is have fun and eat lots of Norwegian food,” he said.
Braaten’s brothers were active in the Sons of Norway lodge in Prince George. They promoted opening a lodge in Dawson Creek. Eventually, a district organizer visited the city and Lodge 79 offi cially formed on Aug. 10, 1963. They had 53 members at the time. The Sons of Norway are a fraternal organization who at fi rst aimed to help newcomers into the country to integrate into society. They have since started to promote their cultural heritage.
“It’s evolved now to where we kind of try to keep some of the traditions alive for the younger generations, so that’s kind of what it’s all about. There’s some things in the arts and cooking and things like that that we try to keep alive,” said Braaten.
In the past the lodge has hosted cooking classes where at-tendees learned how to make the traditional fi sh dish, lute-fi sk, and their popular lefse dessert. Workshops teaching how to speak Norwegian, do Hardanger embroidery and Rosemaling (a type of decorative painting) were also held for members during the past 50 years. In previous years, they have also hosted a skiing tournament.
Members meet once a month through September to June to attend a number of social activities. Every May 17, the group celebrates Norway’s national holiday, Norwegian
Constitution Day, when Norway was declared an indepen-dent nation in 1814.
Although the Sons of Norway are not a recognized ser-vice club, they do try to lend a hand whenever it is needed. They have helped in the purchase of two saunas for the Centennial Pool, equipment for the ski hill, various bench-es around the city, and furnishings for a room at Peace River Haven. They have also made cash donations to sev-eral charitable organizations including: the Dawson Creek Senior Citizens’ Building Fund, Canadian Cancer Society, the Library Association, the Dawson Creek and District Hospital Foundation, the Salvation Army, and the Child Development Centre.
“Once in awhile, we always like to do some little thing that will help somebody along the way...we just used to do a few projects and support worthwhile causes, even though it’s not our sole purpose,” said Braaten.
Their membership is currently hovering around 80, and although it has grown since 1963, membership is also de-clining from where it once was. Braaten said that the av-erage age of their membership is getting older and he is fi nding less youth want to be involved; he said this is the trend with other clubs in the area as well like the Elks and the Royal Canadian Legion.
“Our world has changed, young people aren’t as inter-ested in lodges...every club has that problem and we do too...it’s the way things are now...so probably this lodge won’t see another 50 for sure, but it’s served a really good purpose for a lot of years,” he said.
Braaten said he believes it will be awhile before the lodge closes, and in the meantime will continue to enjoy the fellowship the Sons of Norway offers.
“I think just enjoying the fellowship and I guess helping the older people as they get older...it’s important to keep them involved and I guess it’s the one thing in their life that has been pretty constant,” Braaten said about the organiza-tions plans for the future.

The City of Fort St. John hereby provides notice that the Silviculture Trail located in Fish Creek Community Forest is closed until further notice. For the safety of all residents
and visitors, we ask that the public stay away from the area as there appears to have been a landslide causing many po-tential hazards, including potentially unstable grounds and fallen trees.
The Fish Creek Forest provides an opportunity for the people of Fort St. John to actively take part in the integrated management of a forest. There are three interpretive trails
to help residents become familiar with the plant life and wildlife of the area, including the Anatomy Trail, Silvicul-ture Trail, and the Multi-Purpose Trail.
The public is still welcome and encouraged to continue to utilize the Anatomy and Multi-purpose Trails during the closure of the Silviculture Trail system.

FORT ST. JOHN – A 40-year-old male was fl own to an Edmonton hospital early morning on Sept. 5 after crashing
his motorcycle, which landed him unresponsive in a ditch, according to Fort St. John RCMP.
Witnesses say it appeared the motorcyclist was travel-ling at a high speed immediately before the accident, and “failed to negotiate a corner” before landing in the ditch, read an RCMP press release. “In the fi le it says that the wit-nesses saw him leave the road and go into a ditch, so I’m not sure that … he didn’t turn it or didn’t brake,” in short, Cpl Jodi Shelkie added: “He didn’t make the corner.”
RCMP were called to the scene at 1:15 a.m. Po-lice found the man, a Fort St. John resident, near El-evator Road on the East Bypass Road. He was taken to the Fort St. John hospital by ambulance and later air lifted to Edmonton. The latest update from the Edmonton hospital is
that the man is still in critical condition, said Shelkie.Just over a month ago, a 23-year-old Taylor resident died
after a collision on his motorcycle with a commercial trac-tor trailer. At the time of the incident, RCMP had not ruled out the motorcycle’s speed as a contributing factor to the accident.
While Shelkie said it’s important for drivers to be mindful of motorcyclists, motorcyclists should also take extra caution because they are not guarded in the same way as a driver in a vehicle.
“[Motorcyclists] really need to obey the speed lim-its and be at your top driving
abilities. [Motorcycles] are so much more dangerous in that if there is a crash in a motorcycle you’re likely to come out of it harmed.”

CALGARY– The energy industry took a signifi cant step [on Sept. 9] to address the issue of rising workplace fatigue with the offi cial launch of a set of guiding principles, the Fatigue Risk Management Guiding Principles. Six industry associations applied their stamp of approval to the docu-ment which represents a foundation for advancing aware-ness and mitigating the risks.
“Compounded by the labour shortage, fatigue is a growing safety issue in the workplace,” said Enform President and CEO Camer-on MacGillivray. “Today’s
launch is an important fi rst step – it represents an industry consensus and recognition that managing the risks associat-ed with fatigue is a top priority and a shared responsibility.”
According to Alberta Human Services, fatigue has a similar impairment effect as alcohol on workers. After 20 hours of sustained wakefulness, a worker may be as func-tionally impaired as someone with a high blood alcohol concentration.
Enform, the safety association for Canada’s upstream industry, and its six industry association partners, agreed to create a set of principles as a fi rst step towards a larger awareness-raising campaign, the development of industry tools and resources and the redevelopment of Enform’s Employers Guide to Designing and Implementing a Fa-tigue Management Program.

Energy industry address workplace fatigue
FORT ST. JOHN – More than 30 war-rants were handed out on Sept. 4 to arrest and detain Fort St. John residents—all for a good cause.
Community members nominated a friend, family member or coworker to be taken away and hauled off to a fake cell, where they sat and made phone calls look-ing for pledges that meet their bail amount.
Rae Evans, division director at the Inves-tors Group, was handcuffed at 11 a.m. and brought to a mock jail at the Totem Mall for the ninth annual Jail N’ Bail fundraiser for the Canadian Cancer Society. She was arrested for escaping from the former penal colony of Australia.
She spent three hours behind wooden bars, rais-ing money for pediatric cancer, specifi cally Camp Goodtimes (a summer trip for children diagnosed with cancer).
“It’s a good cause and you make the most of it,” said Evans. “I’ve donated before but it’s my fi rst time being on this side of the bars.”
Evans’ bail was set at $300, by the time she fi nally asked to be released, she surpassed her bail amount to $3,600. “Most people have been willing to donate,” she said.
Fort St. John offi cer in charge Insp. Pat Egan said it’s no surprise that the ‘criminals’ they take into custody are willing to stay locked up longer than their sentence.
“You really see people rise to the ocas-sion, they come in their bail is set at $300 or $500 and very often they will leave with $1,000 or more and that is really good to see,” said Egan. “The community steps up to the plate and gets behind the cause.”
Last year, Fort St. John raised $33,000. This year their goal wasn’t to beat last year’s amount, rather the amount raised by Dawson Creek.. The nighbouring city’s Jail N’ Bail raised just over $39,000.
By the end of the day, the bail amounts raised over $30,000, not quite beating the Dawson Creek Jail N’ Bail, however the entire scope of the Fort St. John’s RCMP detachment raised around $53,000 for Cops for Cancer.
The other aspect of this fundraiser was
not only to raise money but awareness. “The annual Jail and Bail for Cops for Cancer is in support of the Canadian Cancer Society
and the idea is to fi rst of all raise awareness of cancer and the Society’s fundraising to-wards Camp Good Times,” said Egan.

Railroad safety Continued from Page 2.
“Who gets the impact after that? Impact on public safety, impact on the economy, impact on the environment, the river in Lac-Megantic was full of oil. We’re stuck with the impact after that,” he said.
The last priority approved was the prevention of down-loading of rail safety and emergency costs to municipal taxpayers.
Their hope is that all rail companies will be expected to get third party liability insurance, even in the event of bankruptcy, to prevent the downloading of liability costs on taxpayers.
“ T h e insurance coverage s h o u l d reinforce our regulation to make sure these companies have a very very good insurance coverage, and if they are self-insured they should have suffi cient liquidity to make sure that we won’t be stuck with the bill,” Dauphin said.
FCM and the NMRSWG are working together with the Ministry of Transport to come up with feasible recom-mendations and policies. After the group agrees on rec-ommendations, they will be brought to the FCM board in November in hopes of adoption. If they are adopted by the FCM, the recommendations will then go to the Ministry of Transport for possible action.
Dauphin said that the collaboration with the Ministry of Transport is essential for information sharing and develop-ing the best recommendations possible.
“It’s a great, great collaboration, that’s why I’m very confi dent for the future ... Three days before she [Minis-ter of Transport Lisa Raitt] was appointed by Prime Min-ister Harper, she came to Lac-Megantic; she came on the grounds, she came to see the people... it’s a clear priority for them and it has to stay like that,” Dauphin said.
DAWSON CREEK - Although In-ternational Literacy Day has been cel-ebrated for over 40 years by the United Nations, this is the fi rst year Dawson Creek Literacy Now has joined in on the festivities since forming in 2006.
Last Sunday the organization hosted a read-in at the public library, where residents of all ages were en-couraged to sit down and read for 15 minutes. Children’s books were given away to the fi rst 50 people, and crafts were also onsite for younger readers.
“Reading for 15 minutes a day can increase a child’s readiness for kindergarten, it can improve people’s litera-cy skills, and for older peo-ple, help maintain literacy skills,” said Michele Mob-ley, literacy outreach coordi-nator for D.C. Literacy Now.
Mobley said that she knew of other communities do-ing read-ins in the past and thought it would be a good way to raise awareness on a local scale. She said that just over 40 per cent of Canadi-ans have low literacy skills. Further, that in a lot of cases
around the world, low literacy skills can lead to exclusion, violence, in-equality and racism.
“On a more local scale having high-er literacy rates is important to people for their physical health, for rates of civic participation, stronger econo-mies, more resilient communities. On a global scale having higher literacy rates can remove obstacles to things like having a better quality of life,” said Mobley.
She said that while 40 per cent of Canadians are functionally literate, over a quarter of those 40 per cent can only deal with very simple reading tasks and about 15 per cent have prob-
lems with all printed material. This year’s theme was Literacy
for the 21st Century and Mobley had small presentations prepared about how today’s communication and tech-nology has changed our world view. Wireless devices, having the ability to record video and take photographs anywhere in the world and shares across continents, have changed the way we perceive the world.
“It is so instantaneous, and it’s very raw...it has changed the way we as a global community do everything. It’s how we communicate it’s how we share information, it’s how we access information,” Mobley said.

FORT ST. JOHN - Inspector Pat Egan was pleased to present a $750-scholarship to Mandy Wuth, a recent graduate from North Peace Secondary School. Mandy will be attending the University of Toronto and working towards her Undergraduate Degree in Forensic Science.
The Fort St. John RCMP scholarship is awarded annually to a local student who is pursuing a career in Law Enforcement, Corrections or associated studies.

there because they have to pay for the permitting end of it somehow,” said Fraser.
According to a govern-ment report, the activities that are exempt from the permitting process will al-lows mines inspectors to focus on higher impact activities inspections. “By reducing the administrative burden on Mines Inspec-tors, the Ministry can in-crease the amount of time spent in the fi eld conduct-ing inspections and ensur-
ing compliance.”Mineral exploration has
increased from $29 million in 2001 to $680 million in 2012. The province reached its reduced backlog target in 2012 and is working on reducing the average turn-around time, which is 65 days as of this past June.
The Association for Min-eral Exploration BC sup-ported the government’s latest move to expedite mining processes through online sources.
“The launch of the on-line permitting process is a positive initiative towards
obtaining a permit for ex-ploration programs in a more effi cient and effec-tive manner,” said Gavin C. Dirom, president and CEO of AME BC, in a press re-lease. “By using this new online system we are op-timistic that our members will have their permit ap-plications reviewed in a more timely way so that they can re-focus their time and money on discovering mineral deposits that can be developed safely for the socio-economic benefi t of all British Columbians.”

Doing a little fall clean-ing has lot to do with con-servation as well as preser-vation, and it starts right in your own house and your own backyard.
This September round up the family and have a fall work bee! Autumn is a great time to de-clutter in the great outdoors as well as the indoors - especially when many bugs, pests and rodents are hanging around waiting for an invitation to winter inside a nest of throw aways, a pile of lum-ber or debris.
Special attention should always be given to the type of cleaning products be-ing used because we’ve learned that everything we add to the watershed even-tually works its way back to us. Phosphate levels and chemical levels matter and using grandmother’s recipe of vinegar, hot water, bak-ing soda, soap plus a whole lot of elbow grease is still the best recipe to clean by.
Outdoor Checklist• Wash the outside
of your windows.The sum-mer can be just as harsh on windows as the winter.
Don’t wait until spring to give your whole house a brighter outlook by wash-ing your windows
• Before you store your patio furniture and children’s outdoor toys, wash them off and cover them in plastic or old bed sheets
• Check the caulk-ing, seals and weather strip-ping around all windows and doors and repair as needed. Wipe down win-dow wells and ledges. Hose and wipe down exterior doors
• Drain and store garden hoses. If you have an in-ground sprinkler sys-tem, have it professionally blown out and winterized
• Check gutters, downspouts and clear out debris to avoid ice dams
• Clean out your garage and hose out all the summer dirt and grime
• Indoor Checklist• Have your fi re-
place and chimney in-spected, cleaned so that it’s ready for winter use
• Change your furnace fi lters every 2-3 months for cleaner air and a
more effi cient heating sys-tem
• Fall is a good time to replace batteries in your smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors.
• Get your beds ready for a cozy winter without mites or bedbugs. Fall is also a good time to do twice-annual mattress turns. Flip your mattress this fall and next spring, turn it end-to-end. Launder or dry clean all bedding you don’t do every week, such as mattress pads, pillows, blankets, bed skirts and bedspreads
• Schedule a pro-fessional carpet cleaning or rent a carpet cleaner and do it yourself
• Clean out your kitchen cupboards and pan-try, paying particular atten-tion to baking supplies and dates that have expire

Shell Saturn 1 Continued from Page 3
“If you aren’t able to deliver gas to market at an attractive price you will essentially go out of business, so we’re a marginal business and we need to be looking at every dollar and cent. We believe that through innovation we can actually leverage technology to es-
sentially become the most competitive company in the fairway,” said Tetrault about the importance of innovation.
Saturn 1 took approximately 18 months to construct, and at one time had approximately 600 workers on site. Tetrault said that the amount of workers became a challenge, as each person had to be clear of their task. He also said it was hard making sure each worker was utilized; non-productive time was not where they wanted it to be.
The next plant Shell will begin working on is the Sunset 2 plant, also in the Groundbirch Venture, not the Saturn 2. Tetrault said that Shell decided not to build Saturn 1 and 2 con-secutively, because they had too much to learn from Saturn 1’s construction.
“One of the things that we are trying to determine right now is how to cost effectively build plants. You probably get a fl avour of, ‘it wasn’t easy,’ we had to bring in people and resources and specialists to make it happen, so the automation technology in the plant was a big challenge,” he said.
“If you build them consecutively, you can’t learn...so we said we are going to take a pause for building the next plant,” Tetrault added.
Saturn 1 will operate 24 hours a day, employ approximately ten operators and another ten to 20 contractors and maintenance providers. Approximately 140 workers are em-ployed in the Groundbirch Venture.
“We have skilled tradespeople, specialists, and engineers that are working at the facil-ity...they work hard at what they do. It’s important what they do, they are providing us with energy. I want them to be proud of it, and and I want the local community to be proud of it,” Tetrault said, adding that many workers are local residents.
Saturn 1 has an estimated lifespan of 40 to 50 years.
