By Kyla CorpuzFORT ST. JOHN - Only 60 votes separated Lori Ackerman and Don Irwin

from claiming the title as mayor.Ackerman received 1,269 votes while Irwin cut it close with 1,209 votes.

Mike Murray, who was also in the race, staggered behind with 198 votes.Ackerman made her transition from city councillor to mayor. In an interview with EnergeticCity.ca, Lori expressed her relief that the race

was finally over.“I’m feeling glad it’s over, the race is run,” said Ackerman moments after the

results were revealed.“The tone at the top will change,” she said. “We need to realize that there’s

no magic potions to fix absolutely everything — but I think that with consistent measures focused on the vision we have for the community, we will be able to achieve the community that we’re hoping for.”

Ackerman said she was looking forward to celebrate her success with her supporters.

EnergeticCity.ca also caught up with Irwin who said the differences in campaigning tactics between him and Ackerman are what brought the race to a close call.

“I went at it as if it was going to be close, and it was. So, I made sure I went to every door and tried to get every vote,” said Irwin.

Though Irwin’s votes were just shy of Ackerman’s, he said in an interview with the Northeast News, that he doesn’t know what he would have done dif-ferently in the campaign.

Voter turnout for this civic election was 21 per cent, a two per cent drop from the last election.

RE-ELECTED CounCiLLoRs NEW couNcillors

Continued from page 1.

New addition to council, Parslow, who was out of the country for the majority of election season, had the most votes with 893, followed by the youngest councillor 18 year old Duncan Malkin-son with 867 votes. Shuman had the third highest of votes with 825, then Kenny with 772, McFadyen with 747, and Wilbur with 721 votes.

Malkinson and Wilbur attribute their success to reaching out to the community on a personal level.

“It’s just meeting them face-to-face. There’s no better way to intrude upon somebody’s consciousness than to meet them face-to-face, and that was the emphasis of my advertising and my campaign,” Malkinson said.

He went door to door to get his name out there. “I attribute the votes that I got to hard work, reaching out to

the community, and putting myself out there. I don’t think that people should have to come to you I think you should go to the people and I think I did that and it paid off for me and I’m happy to represent them,” said Wilbur.

Throughout her campaign Wilbur used various social media sites to engage people, she intends to continue using those meth-ods as well as personal meet and greets to connect with the com-munity.

“My facebook, my twitter account, and my webpage are go-ing to continue on. I’m also going to make arrangements once a month to be somewhere in the community once a month so people can engage me in the community...I want to continue that, you cannot know what’s going on in your community if you

don’t engage them, so I think that’s important,” Wilbur said.

Wilbur, Kenny, and Shuman believe that the new council is a good mix of individuals that will likely bring about healthy debate.

“I think the new people on council will bring some dif-ferent ideas and aspects that maybe the incumbents weren’t ware of, so I think together we’re going to be a strong team and we will move this com-munity forward for everyone,” said Wilbur.

“It’s great to be re-elected, and it’s an honour to have peo-

ple vote for you and trust you...I’m humbled that people believe in me and want to see me in there again...I think we’re going to have some pretty good debates going on in the councilor cham-bers, and I think we will have some fresh input and ideas. Debate is good,” Kenny said.

“I think there’s a really great mix of demographics - age groups, women, and that kind of thing,” Shuman said.

While all successful candidates were no doubt happy about the news, they were a little disappointed with the low voter turn-out, 1,668 of approximately 7,000 eligible voters.

“I’m very happy, very very happy with the results. I’m not so happy with the turnout, I think that that is an absolute pitiful turnout to our election. I don’t know if it’s because there’s no mayor running, people weren’t coming out to choose the mayor and whether they feel that councillors aren’t as important to vote for,” said Shuman.

“It’s very disappointing that people don’t come out and vote, I think it’s complacency that they’re not paying attention to how decisions are being made with the city. I would rather that people be engaged and understand why the decisions are being made…This is an opportunity to come out and speak up and that’s disappointing that people aren’t that engaged. But on the other hand maybe they feel that everything’s fine and that things are going to roll, no matter who’s on council, and that’s unfortu-nate because it does make a difference,” Kenny said.

Chief Elections Officer Brenda Ginter believes the low voter turnout is due to not having a mayor race.

“There was no mayor race, therefore no voter turnout…they (voters) feel that that’s the most important spot and many don’t realize he’s one vote out of the whole council,” she said.

Wilbur thinks the lack of vot-ers was due to the weather.

“I consider two factors, the weather the roads are definitely and issue, and the fact that the community is accustomed to voting at the central middle school, which is a more cen-tral location so maybe having it out and the Encana events centre is a change for them so that maybe effected numbers,” Wilbur said.

Two new councillors for Fort St. JohnFORT ST. JOHN - Gord Klassen and Byron Stewart are Fort

St. John’s newest councillors. Current incumbents Larry Evans, Dan Davies, Trevor Bolin

and Bruce Christensen were re-elected. The results were announced on Nov. 19, shortly after polls

closed at the Pomeroy Sport Centre. In a phone interview with the Northeast News, Klassen said

after being announced his new title, the meaning of being a city councillor really sunk in.

“Fairly quickly, the person realizes the weight of that decision as well and the responsibility that comes with that, so I think that was a big part for me as well,” he said.

He said he looks forward to being a “team player”, and sup-porting the overall effort of council to move the city forward.

Klassen received 1,693. He was a trustee on the School Dis-trict 60 School Board for the past six years. He is also involved as a pastor at the Fort St. John Alliance Church and is a chaplain at the Fire Department.

Byron Stewart received 1,296 votes. This is Stewart’s second time running for city council. He ran during the by-election in 2006, after the death of his father, then councillor Don Stewart. Stewart is the manager of the Lido Theatre and is involved with KidSport.

Stewart was not present during the election results and the Northeast News was unable to get a comment from him before press.

Once again, Evans received the most votes, with 1,831. Evans has been a city councillor for the past six years. He is a Fort St. John historian, and a former Fire Chief. Evans received 1,839 votes in 2008, more than any other councillor or mayoral can-didate.

Coming in second is Davies with 1,749 votes. Davies has been

a councillor for the past six years. As well as being a grade 5 teacher, he is the Chair of the North Peace Economic Develop-ment Commission and is involved with cadets and the Restor-ative Justice Program. Davies received 1,753 votes in 2008, the third highest of any candidate.

A close third, Bolin received 1,742 votes. Bolin has been a city councilor for three years. He owns real estate agencies in Chetwynd, Dawson Creek and Fort St. John and has his hand is several other businesses. Bolin received 1,558 votes in 2008.

Christensen, the fourth in-cumbent elected, received 1,614 votes. Christensen has been a city councillor since 2006 when he was voted in during a by-election. He is an alternate director on the Peace River Regional District and works with the Rotary Club and Elks of Canada. Chris-tensen received 1,781 votes in 2008, the second highest of any candidate.

The other candidates, who all tried their hand at a coun-cillor position for the fist time, didn’t receive votes over 1,000 – however Sarah Palmer came close with 907 votes.

Fluoride will stay in Fort St. John’s water system

By Kyla CorpuzThe addition of fluoride in the city’s water system will remain. One thousand five hundred and ten people voted ‘yes’ to keep fluoridation while 1,102 people

voted to give it the boot.In 2009, council passed the resolution to include this referendum in the 2011 civic election;

since then the city hosted a fluoride information session where two experts spoke on the pros and cons.

The city currently adds between 0.7 milligrams per litre to 0.9 milligrams per litre of fluoride to the water system.

By Jill Earl DAWSON CREEK- After two independent reviews of the

Agricultural Land Reserve, Minister of Agriculture, Don McRae proposed a new legislation that would help the Agricultural Land Commission become more proactive as apart of Bill 19, Monday, Nov. 14.

The new legislation aims to help preserve farmland, encour-age farming, increase enforcement of ALR violations, upgrade information services, hire a CEO and make the chair’s position able to have greater oversight of regional panels, make ALC’s operations sustainable, and introduce a Minister’s bylaw stan-dard that would help municipalities develop while protecting farmland.

“Today is an exciting day in many ways we are strengthening the ALC, both in terms of positive legislative changes, we are injecting some new dollars into the ALC, and in the near future are looking to hire a CEO for the Agriculture Land Commission. All of which we believe will allow the ALC to be proactive in the future in regards to its mandates which is to protect farm-land, preserve farmland and also to promote farming in British Columbia,” said McRae.

The ALC’s current annual budget of approximately $1.92 million will potentially get a boost from an additional $1.6 mil-lion: $600,000 for the current fiscal year, and $1 million for 2012-2013. The additional funds are supposed to help make the commission more sustainable. The ALC is also hoping to take advantage of revenue opportunities and is considering charging fees though it is not certain of when, what, who, and how much they will be.

“There’s also an opportunity for the ALC to become more self sufficient going out, but there’s still a lot of consultation that needs to be done in terms of changes of structures and such before that can happen,” said McRae.

“We don’t have any sort of preconceived perception of what those fees are going to be, anytime that fee changes would hap-pen would require extensive consultation, not just with the ALC but with the communities in general and the individuals in gen-eral to make sure we get a sense of what they’re looking for and not looking for,” said ALC chair, Richard Bullock, adding that any fees would have to go through the Order in Council.

Among the changes to the Agricultural Land Act, is a five-year moratorium period for repeat ALR applications. Bullock explains that the ALC can receive 600-1,000 applications a year, and some of these applications appear before the commission five or six times a year with little or no changes made to the application. He says that rejected applications reapply because they think the commission’s feelings may have changed or there may be a new commissioner. Bullock identifies this a very time consuming problem.

“Having them know there is a waiting period if they are turned down… we want to make sure that they actually bring forward the best application possible, they do the work in advance to know that it’s going to meet the mandate of the ALC…if they don’t meet the test, that’s just the reality that they face,” Bullock said.

Amid the changes are upgrades to information services through their online application tracking system and mapping services.

“One of the first things we’re going to do is have a look at our mapping and get our technology up to date there’s a lot more ability to be far more active then when this thing was put to-gether in 1973, so that’s way up on top of the list of things to do,” said Bullock.

The ALC is also hoping to conduct a land review. “We can’t do the whole province at once but we’re going to

highlight the East Kootenay’s, the interior and the Peace River…the first thing we have to do is get our capabilities up to snuff so we can do it well and do it quickly,” Bullock said.

These new substantial changes made to the Agricultural Land Act will encourage the ALC to becoming more proactive, Bull-ock and McRae hope.

“We have been a very reactive organization, I would like to take us away from that and be one that works with others with the interest to put boundaries around the ALC and let us get sub-stantially out of the way and let communities develop with the proper thoughts and processes in place…I think this starts us down the path very nicely,” said Bullock.

Proposed legislation to help Agricultural Land Commission

Jill Earl photoCaptain Francie Lee and David MacDonald of the Dawson Creek Salvation Army receive a cheque from Brian Lieverse, Community Relations Advisor for Encana, in the amount of $10,000 and a cheque from WPCA chuckwagon driver and 2011 Food Driver of the Year, Mark Sutherland, in the amount of $7,300 for their food bank. The donations are apart of the $23,654 that Dawson Creek raised during this summer’s Race Against Hunger. In the five communities the program visited a combined total of more then $57,000 was raised.

By Kyla CorpuzFORT ST. JOHN – A recent report provided a list of improvements to potentially reduce inci-

dents at 10 intersections.The Identification of High Risk Collision Intersections report conducted by OPUS International

looked at the 10 most vulnerable places for crashes to occur.The report then analyzed what changes should occur to make those impact zones safer. The intersection by Sobeys on 96 Street and 93 Avenue topped the list but changes have already

been made to decrease the number of crashes. “Last year we put the left-turn arrow in, that has already made an impact,” said director of

infrastructure and capital works Victor Shopland.In addition, installations for left-turn signals on 93 Avenue’s east and west lights would further

improve it said Shopland. There were three fewer crashes from 2009 to 2010.100 Avenue and Alaska Highway by Kal Tire was listed as the worst highway intersection — it

saw 15 crashes in 2010 and a total of 87 crashes in the past five years.Shopland noted The Ministry of Transportation was ultimately responsible for this road and the

city would have to work in conjunction with it to improve the intersection.The last time the city used a report to improve its streets was approximately seven years ago,

according to Shopland, however that report only looked at the main corridors. “We had worked through the corridors study recommendation and it was decided that we

should work with ICBC for a whole network screen,” he said.With traffic volumes fairly large and busy, Shopland said the city and ICBC were taking the

approach of being “proactive”, that is why the study was conducted.

“It was time to look at the whole network again, and see where we could possibly make some more improvements,” he added

The report was brought to Council, who decided on Nov. 14, that expenses to make improve-ments, outlined in the report, would be considered during the 2012 budget deliberation process.

The City and ICBC will make the improvements and costs to do so will be shared.Of the 10 intersections listed, six were “selected as strong candidates for providing a high return

on road safety investments”.The estimated cost to

improve the six intersections is between $369,500 to $429,500 whereas the annual crash costs sits at $3,452,000, according to the report.

OPUS International used crash history from ICBC’s records to determine which intersections saw the highest volume in collisions.

The reports originally gath-ered 30 intersections that need-ed improvement, but only ana-lyzed the top ten.

New study finds 10 intersections that need improvement

Results for SD 60, Taylor, Hudson’s HopeBy Kyla Corpuz

SCHOOL DISTRICT 60 – School District 60’s zone five has two new trustees.

Joining current trustee, Jaret Thompson, is Darrell Pasichnyk and Linda Nielsen.

Nielsen, a former cadet instructor, tallied up the most votes with 1,334. Thompson was right behind with 1,321.

Pasichnyk gathered 866 votes, beating out Adrian Telizyn by 55 votes.

HUDSON’S HOPE – Three new council members will join acclaimed mayor Karen Anderson and current incumbents Gwen Johansson, Darryl Johnson and Travous Quibell.

David Heiberg received 230 votes, just four votes behind Johansson. Nicole Gilliss followed closely behind with 210 votes and Kelly Miller gathered 200 votes.

Just fewer than 55 per cent of the eligible voters in Hudson’s Hope hit the polls. Chief election officer Bill Lindsay said that was a decrease from the 2008 civic election, which he said had an approximate 70 per cent voter turnout.

TAYLOR – It seems like all the visits to Taylor’s council meetings have paid off for Brent Taillefer, who now joins the remaining three current councillors: Betty Ponty, George Barber and Brad Filmer.

Taillefer received the most amount of votes with 177 ballots casted in favour of his name.

Ponto, Barber and Filmer all received in and around 150 votes, leaving behind David Bigcharles who received 71 votes.

Mayor Fred Jarvis was acclaimed. Taylor had a 27 per cent voter turnout .

MLA Pimm looks back at Remembrance Day

By Michelle Mobley - Literacy CoordinatorOver fifty percent of young people in Canada have their own

mobile phones, and many say they can text with their eyes closed. With this extensive use of technology among youth, how do we teach them to text responsibly, or protect them from bullies or predators? Talk to them about cell phone use right from the first phone plan, and lay down some guidelines. Only give your mobile number to family and close friends, and never post your phone number online.

If you are being harassed or bullied, do not respond. Instead, kids should discuss the problem with a trusted adult. You can also report harassing texts to your service provider. Emphasize the importance of being careful with personal information. Make sure your child understands how to use their mobile phone ethically and responsibly.

Texting provides a quick, easy way for youth to stay in touch with parents or caregivers, and it is relatively inexpensive. With a little bit of sound information and guidance, cell phone use can be a positive and practical way to communicate. If you would like to know more about safe texting, visit www.textED.ca. The site was developed to teach youth about responsible wireless communication, and they have also provided an ‘acronictionary’ for those of us who need help with translation. tafn tlk2ul8r!

I was pleased to see the parade and service in Fort St. John, as well as the dinner in Hudson’s Hope so well attended. It was heartwarming to see British Columbian’s showing their support for the sacrifices that our Veterans - past and present – make, so that we can live the life that we sometimes take for granted. I am so proud of the young men and women that have shown their bravery so that we can have the rights and freedoms that we enjoy.

This fall brings the local municipal and several First Nations elections. I will be spending the better part of January going to some of these communities to congratulate them and begin working with them to bring their issues to the provincial level.

I will also be going to as many rural communities and halls to hear your concerns. Please call my office if you have any concerns that you would like me to be aware of or to attend any meetings or public discussions.

Speaking of elections, I would like to say a couple of words about our newly elected Premier Christy Clark. Premier Clark travelled into the Peace Country and the Northern Rockies Regional Municipality during her bid for

the leadership of our party, she then came back to Fort St. John and held her very first Open Town Hall meeting. She also returned to Fort Nelson and spoke at the BC Energy Conference and then she was again in Fort St John for the evening to honour former MP Jay Hill. I just wanted to make this point because she has been B.C.’s Premier for less than a year and she has already been in our North Peace

riding several times. To me this says an awful lot about our new Premier and

I am very happy to say that she truly gets what our region means to the province. I have no idea how she manages to juggle her schedule around to get to all of the communities that she does, but I’m very happy she’s found the time to visit us here in the Peace region.

By Jill Earl DAWSON CREEK- Fans of roots music are in for a treat as singer songwriter, Marianne Girard,

is taking a break from her White Knuckles tour to do a Home Routes tour throughout the north-east. Girard is scheduled to make several stops including Hudson’s Hope, Fort. St. John, Terrace, Chetwynd, and Dawson Creek.

On her set list are songs from her 2009 album, Pirate Days, but she also plays songs from her two older albums When it Hurts and In This Town, as well as freshly written material.

Girard takes inspiration for her songs from the places she’s been and the people she meets. “I’m a product of my environment, everywhere I go I seem to take on that in my expression and

my creativity. I was just in Italy recently, so all my songs are influenced by being in that environ-ment,” she said.

She describes her songwriting as narrative pieces, preferring to tell stories then anything else. “I like to paint, literally paint pictures and tell stories in the songs is my main focus. That hasn’t

changed because that’s what I like to do. I’ll hear a story that inspires me and it will come back out in a song,” Girard said.

“Traditionally, folk singers were attributers, so they spread the news from town to town, that’s really where that style comes from and that’s kinda what I do. These are personal stories, or stories that come to me that no body would ever hear, but they have to move me in some way, I have to have some organic connection,” she said.

A lot of singers like to write from experience, telling their audience about their own personal lives. Although many would find the life of a singer/ songwriter interesting, Girard likes to keep the attention on others.

“I find other people much more interesting,” she said. Growing up in Delaware, ON Girard started singing very young and joined her school and

church choir. “I do remember being very young, playing like I was a singer, it was never encouraged. There

was always singing in school, there was a choir and there was a church choir, there was lots of opportunity to sing then,” she said.

She formed a duo with her older brother and played a coffee house in the University of Western Ontario in London as her first gig in 1974. Her brother wrote the songs and they played weekly there for a year before she went off on her own.

“That was pretty much into the fire, that was it after that,” Girard said about her passion for writing.

“I think it immediately got into my bones, we had a regular gig every week after that at the same place. So it was within a year that I knew that I was a writer and needed to write and went and left on my own, it must have been in my bones…I wasn’t writing by then, but it was really obvious to me that I needed that expression in my life, so my entire life has been based on that,” she said.

Girard left home when she was 18 years old and moved to the foothills of Nashville for a year to write, living off of money saved and occasionally playing gigs and writing music for publishing houses. She explains that in the 70s Nashville was not a partying tourist city but one dominated by studios and publishing companies.

“I had worked and saved, I did get gigs but for the most part I just knew that I really had to make a shift in order to start writing…I just wanted to write, I just wanted to be a writer, so it was more ending up in the foothills in a cabin then it was Nashville, but Nashville was sort of a byproduct of that, Nashville wasn’t my destination it just happened to be close by. That was just an interesting organic connection,” she said.

Moving and traveling around the United States to sing and write for years, Girard left the music industry in 1992 to raise her family. She retrained as an art therapist and worked in schools and clinics for ten years doing art therapy before returning to the music business in 2002.

Throughout Girard’s long career she has traveled all across North America and Europe, wrote the ceremonial song for the United Nations Peace Conference in Toronto in 1991, and she was nominated for the Best Contemporary Singer at the 2010 Canadian Folk Music Awards. She has never had major industry support, but that’s never really bothered her.

“I’ve never had a major label, or major industry support, it’s always been my own thing…if I landed a song then that would be great, but my main focus is to write and to play and to get my work out there and that’s the best way for it to be noticed,” Girard said.

“I know lots of people who have had industry support and it’s been a nightmare, so I really think it’s a double edged sword. You get the profile and you get the funding and you get all that but you’re pretty much tied financially and creatively to that company, and I know people who have been released from the company because they haven’t had a major hit or something, they’re really relieved, like the stress is off,” she added.

Girard hopes to have another album out within a year. Until then, her tour-ing continues until she reaches home December 24, arriv-ing by train, which she will be entertain-ing on.

“I’m taking the train but I’ll be en-tertaining on the train back to Ontario, so that will be fun, that will give me time to just chill”

Girard will be play-ing in Dawson Creek on Wednesday, Nov. 30 at the Art Gallery.

By Jill Earl DAWSON CREEK- Energy Services BC recognized Shell

as the first supporter of their BC Based Business Certificate Program last Tuesday, Nov. 15. The program officially began June 1st of this year, and now has 240 members.

“What we are is the voice of the service sector, we have approximately 240 members as we speak, is there room for more? Absolutely. We’d like to see 400 or 500 members,” said Dave Turchanski, President of Energy Services BC.

“We have all kinds of different people in the service sector industry that are apart of our membership, whether it’s road builders, pipeline contractors, facility construction contrac-tors…we have a number of contractors that do support the in-dustry,” Turchanski said.

The BC Based Business Certificate Program was developed by Energy Services BC to help promote B.C. businesses in the energy indus-try. Businesses can register to be certified by answering 10 questions on the Energy Services BC website. Questions ask whether the compa-ny has a local physical address, if their vehicles are insured in B.C., if they do business locally, and if they’re incorporated in the province of B.C. After the company sends proof of these things, they will be added to the database and producer companies can search for their desired service.

“We’ve come up with this BC Based Busi-ness Certificate Program, it’s basically 10 ques-tions, you go through it and you answer ev-erything, and if you can prove that you’ve got insurance in the province of British Columbia, and there’s other criteria that you have to meet then you are considered a B.C. based contrac-tor,” said Turchanski.

Turchanski says that the program has room for a lot of growth, as there are approximately 2,500 direct and indirect energy services in the northeast region. He says a lot of companies hire out of the province because they’re unaware of the services available here.

“A lot of that stuff comes out of the engineering firms or the offices in Calgary and a lot of times there might not be the resources available, or if the resources are available they are overlooked a lot of the times…don’t do their ground work or their homework to see what’s available in British Columbia…That’s probably the biggest part of the problem, or it’s just who they know…So basically it’s the knowledge of the area, and it’s the companies that are here that we have to get those guys in Calgary to be familiar with. They can go on to our website to check it, some will, some won’t, but it’s just to get everybody educated as to what’s up here,” said Turchanski.

Certified members can also use their certificates as market-ing material.

“One of the reasons Shell likes it, is because it identifies a local business, so the certificate will help a local small busi-ness or large business say ‘hey we are local, I know you guys are committed to hiring local companies, we’re actually certi-fied local.’ So it’s a great marketing tool,” said Brad Caldwell, President of Audit Tree, the company that developed the soft-ware for the online certification program.

Rej Tetrault, Operations Manager for northeastern B.C. for Shell Canada, received recognition on behalf of Shell.

“Shell is really proud to support Energy Services B.C, we want to really show you how motivated we are to Dawson Creek and the Fort St. John communities, not only in the cities but the smaller towns as well…we want to see ourselves as

apart of the community, I certainly do,” Tetrault said. “In order to increase our confidence level in finding busi-

ness, Shell prefers to rely on information provided by inde-pendent parties, we proudly encourage contractors and suppli-ers to be B.C. based…The certification program will assist in identifying local businesses, to be contractors or the supply of goods and services. The use of business is key to our ongoing operations…we need local businesses and suppliers to meet these really important business milestones, with them there would be no projects,” Tetrault said.

Streeper stays on as Fort Nelson mayorBy Erica Fisher (EnergeticCity.ca) and Brent Hodson

Fort NelsoN - Fort Nelson has reelected Bill streeper as its mayor. streeper received 65.2 per cent of the vote, while the challenger Doug roper received 33.2 percent.

He was elected as a city councillor in 2002 and has been mayor since 2009. streeper was voted in by acclamation three years ago, after his two opponents dropped out of the race.

since then he boasts a multitude of improvements to the city under himself and coun-cil, including finishing the recreation centre on time and on budget, improving the streets

and roads, creating the regional municipality and the increase of local workers in the Horn river Basin. streeper ran his own oil field company until 2006 is now retired.

Joining streeper will be newcomers laurie Dolan and Danny soles. returning to their previous seats on council are Kim eglinski, todd osbourne, ron Vegeant and Doug McKee

Voter turnout in Fort Nelson was 39.4% with 1609 out of 4082 eligible voters.school District #81 (Fort Nelson) school trustess will be linda Dolen, lorraine Bum-

stead, Mike Gilbert, Doug tofte and eric Ashdown.

By Kyla CorpuzConfusion lingered around whether or not land had been pur-

chased for the proposed Energy Interpretive Centre (Saa Maa Centre) and at what cost.

Before residents casted their final votes on Nov. 19, a com-ment made by, then mayoral candidate Lori Ackerman (who has since claimed title as mayor), regarding the $2 million land purchase, stirred confusion by some.

On Nov. 14, Ackerman said her and her colleagues “honestly believed that the process was not complete in the purchase of the land.”

Mayoral candidate Mike Murray, addressed the project at the all-candidates forum on Nov. 9. Shortly after, an audience member questioned the feasibility of the proposed $17.5 mil-lion Energy Interpretive Centre.

In response Ackerman stated that: “the land had not been purchased. An offer has been made on it and it is being held by the owner.”

In recent clarification by city manager Dianne Hunter, the land has been purchased at $2 million.

The original resolution passed by council in 2010, was that the city committed $1 million towards a $2 million-lot; with the remaining balance to be paid off within five years.

Hunter added the balance was paid off quicker than expected. “When we realized we could pay it off earlier rather than carry

a debt, we paid it right off.”Before the City paid off the

landowner, John Herron, there was an agreement that the City would hold title of the land despite the remaining balance.

“The original intention is that he would hold title until the amount was paid off in full. That’s what nor-mally happens,” said Hunter. “However, he preferred that we held title, the sale went through on that condition.”

Ackerman said she was unaware the land went under the City’s name as well as the full payment — that is why she stated that the land wasn’t purchased. She said she received clarification after the all-candidate forum.

The Energy Interpretive Centre is a proposed attraction site coupled with the Visitor Information Centre.

WHERE DID THE MONEY COME FROM?

The $2 million came from the Fair Share Reserve Land funding, not taxation, accord-ing to city manager Dianne Hunter.

The City was able to fund the Visitor Information Centre

portion of the project through Fair Share that covers aging infrastructure, said Hunter.

Questions were raised over a council document on Oct. 12, 2010 that stated there was “a line transfer from the Fire Hall capital project to the Saa Maa Centre project for the City’s $1 million dollar commitment.”

But Hunter said, the City didn’t go into the Fire Hall account but that the Fair Share budget intended for the Fire Hall that year wasn’t fully used.

“We had some projects that didn’t proceed, so we said we can either move it [funding] forward into next year, or pay off some of our other obligations,” said Hunter — evidently, they chose the second option.

If the project gets the go-ahead by new council, the extra $1 million contributed by the city will be refunded through fund-raising efforts.

GRANT FUNDINGFour years ago the City received a $2 million-grant by

Western Economic Diversification. But with the uncertainty surrounding the project, two years

later the City asked for an extension to hold on to the grant, which now expires on March 31, 2012. Hunter said the provin-cial and federal government are aware that the project is going through a number of revisions.

However, if the project does not go through the city will be required to return the grant because it’s purpose is intended solely for the construction of the Energy Interpretive Centre.

In addition, Hunter noted that the City received five other grants from supporting industries that helped fund the planning of the proposed Centre.

BACKGROUNDIn 2010 Council made a decision to purchase the eight-acre

piece of land that sits along the Alaska Highway at the entrance of the city. The purchase was also slotted in the 2011 capital budget.

“The decision to purchase the land was to assist Council making a determination whether or not the project was fea-sible or not,” said Hunter. She added that in order to continue with the Energy Interpretive Centre’s business case: cost to construct, build and service the land, the land itself had to be secured.

According to Counc. Bruce Christensen, a study was done to determine the feasibility of the initial funding proposal.

What was brought back to Council was a $17.5 million busi-ness plan, which Christensen said was not “stomach-able,” therefore the project was stalled and decided that it would be looked at after the 2011 civic election by new council members.

“Once the new council is formed, they would then ask staff to re-look at the business plan … to see if there is an appetite for a diminished scale,” said Christensen.


With the passage of the Teachers’ Act and the transition of the BC College of Teachers to the new Teacher Regulation Branch of the Ministry of Education, there are some changes that may require you to take urgent action.

All persons who hold a non-practising or non-practising [retired] certificate must upgrade to a practising certificate by January 6, 2012 in order to retain a teaching certificate.

Non-practising certificate holders who have not paid the $120 practising fee or $60 top-up fee to the College by January 6, 2012 will lose their certificates under legislation upon the College’s transition to the new Teacher Regulation Branch in early January. After January 6, former BC College of Teachers members who held these certificates would be required to reapply for new certificates under the requirements in place at the time of application.

Members who hold non-practising certificates but are currently in receipt of LTD benefits are exempt from this change.

By The Investors Group PEACE REGION – Over the past year, the Canadian dollar – the Loonie - is doing well relative to the U.S.

dollar and many other major global currencies. But for Canadians with foreign mutual fund investments, a rising Loonie can have negative consequences – unless you ignore the current currency volatility and stay the course for the long term. Here’s why.

Historically, the Canadian dollar has had many ups and downs against its U.S. counterpart. In 2002, the Loonie hit a low of 61.79 cents followed by a climb to parity and beyond.

Oil is a major reason why the Loonie has appreciated. Historically, the Canadian dollar is highly correlated with the price of oil. Canada is a significant oil supplier and as demand (and crude prices) increase, the demand for Canadian dollars increases as more must be purchased to pay for this commodity.

For Canadian dollar investors with international investments, the ascent of the Loonie has meant a portion of returns generated by global indexes have not been fully realized. Even though Canadian investors buy units in foreign investments with Canadian dollars, those dollars must be converted into foreign currencies so the fund manager can buy foreign securities. When the Canadian dollar appreciates, the foreign currency will be worth fewer Canadian dollars – causing a negative effect on that Canadian investor’s foreign assets. When the Loonie depreciates, the foreign currency is able to buy back more Canadian dollars than originally invested – causing a positive effect on the value of the foreign fund.

Forecasting geopolitical events and currency movements is a mug’s game – even the experts won’t try. Like market volatility, currency volatility tends to smooth out over time so the best strategy is to continue investing according to your personal time horizon and tolerance for risk. Your professional advisor can help you determine a beneficial strategy for your situation.

Editor: The past five and a half years in the Peace Country as President and CEO of

Northern Lights College have been very fulfilling. The potential I noted for NLC when I decided to apply for this position is

evolving and becoming a reality. The addition of the Centre of Excellence for Clean Energy Technologies in Dawson Creek, combined with the Jim Kassen Industry Training Centre/ Oil and Gas Centre of Excellence in Fort St. John, allows Northern Lights College to fulfil its brand as B.C.'s Energy College™.

NLC is committed to providing the skilled workers for these expanding industrial sectors and supporting the economic development of the region. Given the scope of the industrial expansion in our region, a major part of my role at the College was to build capacity through partnerships with other post-secondary institutions and industry, and to ensure that funding provided by the government supports the breadth and depth of needed programming.

I knew Northern Lights College was a "classy" institution when the first person to welcome

me to my new job was the former President, Jim Kassen. He committed 25 years to NLC and provided me with a firm foundation on which to build.

T h e institution is fortunate to have capable faculty and

staff, and has been able to recruit experienced leaders in many departments. The leadership team members are exceptional and I have been proud to work with them. Further, the clarity of the College's vision is attracting experienced professionals who want to contribute to an organization that "knows where it is going".

It also has been gratifying to collaborate on Dual Credit programming with local School Districts, industry, Aboriginal agencies and other post-secondary partners through Northern Opportunities. The Peace Region is very fortunate to have a group of exceptional leaders committed to expanding the scope of this program and to spreading the word on the benefits of this innovative educational initiative. I have been very impressed by the passion for learning these leaders bring to the table, but also for their continuing commitment to finding learning solutions for the youth of the region.

Over the years, I have received support and encouragement from local politicians, including: Senator Richard Neufeld, the former Minister of Energy, Mines and Petroleum Resources; Jay Hill, former Member of Parliament for Prince George-Peace River; Blair Lekstrom, MLA for Peace River South and former Minister of Energy, Mines and Petroleum Resources; and Pat Pimm, MLA for Peace River North. And I would like to acknowledge the exceptional municipal and regional leadership provided by the Chiefs and Band Councils, Mayors and Councils, and Regional District Boards. I was impressed by the quality of leadership demonstrated by members of the oil and gas and renewable energy industries. Thank you to all for being willing to work with Northern Lights College on joint planning that benefits the region.

The College’s Board of Governors recruited me to make changes and supported me when the changes became uncomfortable. I was very appreciative of this support and pleased that the original Board and succeeding Boards provided progressive direction and encouraged innovation. I am particularly proud that we continued to focus on the fundamental mandate of providing education for quality of life in the region, and that we were responsive to requests by industry for new programming.

I am looking forward to the innovative initiatives and opportunities for applied research in clean energy technologies that are in the planning stages. Through partnerships with provincial, national and international leaders in this evolving industry, Northern Lights College is poised to demonstrate the strength of its vision. I will be cheering from afar as these plans become operational.

My husband Gordon and I made friends with a number of very special people in the north and we will miss you. We were treated to the unique brand of warmth, enthusiasm and innovative spirit we now associate with northern British Columbia.

A fond farewell to you all and our sincere thank you for your many kindnesses. D. Jean Valgardson, Dawson Creek

DAWSON CREEK- The Mile 0 post has temporarily been replaced by a humongous Christmas Tree for the holiday season. Last Friday, Nov. 18, residents celebrated the 20th annual Christmas Tree Light-Up thanks to South Peace Oilmen’s As-sociation and the City of Dawson Creek.The celebration at the intersection of 102Ave and 10th Street escaped the power outage caused by a semi-truck hitting a power poll earlier that day that effected the east side of the City.Attendees sung Christmas carols and were treated to complimentary hot chocolate courtesy of CICB, Mayor Mike Bernier handed out candy canes, and Dawson Creek Realty gave out apple cider and Santa hats.Santa Clause made a special appearance to help light up the tree. See more pictures on page 3.

By Kyla CorpuzFORT ST. JOHN - The season of giving is back and so is the

Share a Bear program at the Fort St. John B.C. Liquor Store. “B.C. Liquor Stores have sold plush teddy bears every No-

vember and December, and for ever sale, we donate a bear —

its twin — to a children’s charity to match each one a customer buys,” reads last year’s Share a Bear program press release.

This popular program has garnered a wealth of community support.

For the past eight years the city was the number one Share a Bear seller throughout the province, with 2,400 bears sold and over 3,000 bears donated back.

Fort St. John has one BCL; so coming out on top is a com-munity effort.

“The community is right be-hind the program,” said Fort St. John BCL senior manager Warren Mears.

Mears added there are much bigger BCL locations in the province; so theoretically, Fort St. John shouldn’t “win”.

But it’s a recipe for success when the community in Fort St. John is big enough to bring in a large amount of custom-ers yet small enough that it’s still ‘community minded’, said Mears.

Last year the donated bears were given to the Child De-velopment Centre, Salvation Army Hamper Fund, Fort St. John Hospital Foundation, Fort St. John Ambulance Service, RCMP Victim Service, Stock-ing for Kids and ride for Dis-abled the Special Olympics.

“The smile that it brings to the kids’ face — anyone would appreciate a bear,” said Mears.

He said the charities that the Fort St. John BCL donates to

have already started inquiring about being recipients of the bears this year.

“There’s memories and words that can’t express what that bear gives,” he said.

The Fort St. John BCL received its furry friends last Friday and hopes to sell them out again this year.

The Share a Bear program has been an initiative by BCL’s across the province since 1989.

By Kyla CorpuzFORT ST. JOHN - The basement of the Abbeyfield House

was stocked with donated Christmas goods that were up for sale. In addition to the sale was a silent auction, with all the pro-

ceeds going to the Abbeyfield House, a non-profit organization.

The sale was on Nov. 18 and Nov. 19, the items that didn’t end up going to a new home were donated back to a local thrift store, said president of Abbeyfield House Ann Bergen.

Last year was the first Christmas sale raised $4,000.

Abbeyfield Annual Christmas Sale

By Jill Earl DAWSON CREEK- Northgate Mennonite Brethren Church

held their 10th annual Ten Thousand Villages sale last Friday and Saturday. Ten Thousand Villages is a nonprofit organiza-tion that sells Fair Trade crafts from artisans in over 35 coun-tries. They sell books, coffee, chocolate, jewelry, toys, soap, baskets, and other hand made treasures from around the world.

“They retain crafts people from around the world and pay them a fair wage to produce all of these crafts,” said Wayne Plenert, this year’s sale leader.

The Mennonite Central Committee formed the organization 65 years ago, and was brought to Dawson Creek by the Catho-lic and Mennonite churches.

“To me what this represents isn’t so much our effort, but the community of Dawson Creek really accepting the idea that they should support crafts people from around the world who are starting out and so forth. The idea of Dawson Creek coming out and buying Christmas presents so that they can support new

little businesses all around the world, that’s what excites us and that’s why this is such a neat project,” said Plenert.

The sale ran for 12 hours and afterwards the left over product headed back to one of the organization’s warehouses.

Plenert says the sale sold approximately $16,980 worth of goods, around 75% of their inventory. The sale is run all on a volunteer basis.

“One of the fun things about is, is how many differ-ent churches are represented in the volunteers here? I would think five or six differ-ent churches of volunteers…we’ve had Catholics, we’ve had Anglicans and United…it’s really a wonderful inter-denominational exercise,” he said.

By Kyla CorpuzFORT ST. JOHN – The Native

Christmas Art Sale was not only an op-portunity to get some holiday shopping done but also a platform to build a fea-sibility study.

The Northeast Aboriginal Business and Wellness Centre is looking at inte-grating an art gallery into the downtown office.

“This [Christmas art sale] is part of a feasibility study to see if it’s feasible to have an art gallery within this space so that in the future we can access that as a social enterprise for this non profit or-ganization,” said Manon Joice, member of the NABWC.

Having the space will allow local artists to pro-mote their work, but also help them in their journey as entrepreneurs.

Manon said the NABWC would mentor them in things like ac-counting and points of sales. “All those types of supports are meant to be sure that our clients will be successful in their en-deavours,” she said.

Though it may take some time before the NABWC find out if their study is a success, the opening day of the two-day art sale may be a foreshadow of what’s to come.

“We know there’s a market, I mean, there were 98 people who walked in here today, that’s a pretty big number,” said Pau-

lette Flamond, NABWC mentor. “It’s a hugely successful show, as far as I’m concerned.”

The Christmas Art Sale sold items such as paintings, to authentic mukluks and moccasins with all the proceeds go-ing directly to the artists.

“We’re not just here to sell local art, but build up the skills of the entrepre-neur,” said Flamond.

“It is our job to empower and also support our clients in order to have a sustainable income,” said Manon.

The Native Christmas Art Sale was held at the NABWC on Nov. 18 and Nov. 19.

Native Christmas Art Sale may lead to new gallery

Kyla Corpuz photoThe North Peace Cultural Centre has added some

Christmas spirit to its art gallery. All the products are locally made and are available until Dec. 24.

By Kyla CorpuzFORT ST. JOHN – Heavy snowfall may

have stopped Mr. and Mrs. Claus’ trip to Fort St. John last Friday, but the jolly cou-ple is expected to be in town tomorrow.

In the meantime, the North Pole News made a call to the North Pole to find out what brings Mr. and Mrs. Claus back to the Energetic City every year.

1) Why weren’t you able to make it to Fort St. John last Friday?

Oh!! Ho ho ho….. the snow was very deep and well… I could have flown over top the snow but then the children would not have been able to see both Mrs Claus and I. It is the one chance for us to see the young ones and didn’t want to miss it. It was also very cold and we were concerned that we would not see a lot of the little ones because they would stay home.

2) What will you be doing in Fort St. John?

Just as in the past, we will be in the sleigh at the end of the pa-rade waving to all the boys and girls! When we get down to your Centennial Park, we help to light up the Christmas tree and then we get to see all the children who are bundled up snug and warm. It is a nice time for Mrs Claus and I to visit with some of the children and hear what they want for Christmas. We can check our lists to make sure that we get the right things for them for Christmas.

3) What’s your favourite thing about making a stop in the Energetic City?

All the smiling faces of course! Ho ho ho!! We know that all those young ones have tried so hard to be good year round. Mrs Claus and I enjoy hearing all their stories about the past year. It’s always nice to have a cup of hot choco-late with everyone too! Ru-

dolf and the reindeer also like to stop here because they know that the children really love them. I read that in their letters every year.

Nothing bought in a store or on-line can match a gift that is made from the heart. Storytelling has been a global tradition for millennia, so why not tell a story to someone special? Whether your story is real or imaginary, it’s

a project the whole family can be involved in. Write it on paper, or type it on the computer. Have children draw pictures to go along with the story, or compile photographs in a collage or a scrapbook.

Whether you are writing a fanciful tale or retelling a special event in your family’s history, both children and adults will benefit from this creative project. The process of writing can increase concentration, organization, vocabulary and reading skills! The more we engage in

storytelling of any kind, the greater our ability to identify, understand, interpret, create, and communicate in print. So create a story for someone you love this Christmas; you’ll be giving a gift to everyone involved!

Dawson Creek Literacy Now: Christmas Creativity

Dawson Creek Literacy Now: Christmas CreativityBy Jill Earl

DAWSON CREEK- The South Peace Players performed their 16th annual production, The Trouble with Trent by Fred Car-michael, last week. The players entertained audiences Thursday through Saturday with a dinner theatre, and a matinee and des-sert performance on Sunday at the South Peace United Church Hall.

Director and actor Everett Beaulne and his wife Mary, who produced the production, chose the play for it’s light atmosphere and majority of women characters.

“What we really aim for is that it’s got to be more women then men, simply because it’s hard to find enough men. It’s lighter, like it’s dinner theatre; we’re not trying to teach anybody any-thing. We try to go for the laugh and it’s just what strikes peo-ple’s fancy,” said Everett Beaulne.

Actors in this mystery play have been working since Septem-ber for twice a week, in October practices became more frequent at three times a week.

“In the end you do it until you’ve done it enough,” Everett said, he has directed the past four plays for the theatre group.

The players rely on volunteers to help put the play together, Northern Lights College students for instance provided hair and makeup services for the production.

“We have an awfully lot of outside people come in and help us...there are a lot of people who do the serving, just people we

know in other organizations...whoever we can talk into it,” said Everett.

They also rely on the interest in the community to support the players by being apart of the audience. The performance sold out on Friday and Saturday night and had a good attendance on Thursday and Sunday.

“We’re quite fortunate and appreciate that the general public supports this,” Everett said.

“I really want to thank all the people coming out and attend-ing, that’s what makes it all worth while, that’s why we do it. We

raise money but the reason why people do the acting isn’t for the money, it’s for the experience of being up on stage…unless we have the audience to support us, there would be no reason to do it,” he said.

The players formed as part of a church committee but over the years expanded out into the community. Proceeds from the show went to the church to help pay for general maintenance and upkeep.

By Kyla CorpuzFORT ST. JOHN – A local community group wants to unite

the cultural diversity of Fort St. John by hosting a Block Party. The Welcoming and Inclusive Communities and Workplaces

Program is putting the party together on Nov. 26 at the Central School/ École Central, from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m.

The Block Party is a way to celebrate the different cultures that thrive in the community said Clarice Eckford, literacy outreach coordinator.

“It’s to celebrate the diversity and culture in Fort St. John.”Eckford said the celebration is open for families and

children. Performers from around the world will entertain audiences, and those who come out will have the chance to learn a new dance move or two.

Eckford said there will be a Mexican singer, Japanese stu-dents from the Cultural Centre who will perform dances and henna painting, to name a few.

The Block Party is not just an event to celebrate multiple cultures, but also the culture that already prospers here, said Eckford, adding that there will be a giant Twister board.

“It’s just a time for the community to gather and have fun.”The Welcoming and Inclusive Communities and

Workplaces Program in Fort St. John is funded through the B.C. government.

“The program is meant to bring awareness to communi-ties about cultural diversity, how to make communities a more welcoming and inclusive place,” said Eckford.

The program also offers dif-ferent workshops to support immigrants.

The organization puts on events, like the Block Party, throughout the year. In the past they have hosted Community in Colour and Winter Wonderlands.

Block Party celebrates culture
