By Brent Hodson PEACE REGION – The announcement on

Nov. 3 by Premier Gordon Campbell that he would be resigning as premier of British Colum-bia came as a surprise to some and not a surprise to others.

In Campbell’s statement, he said the public debate focused on him overshadowed what was being discussed for the best interest of the prov-ince. He felt when that situation arises, it’s time for a change.

“This decision is what I believe is in the best interest of British Columbia, our government, our party and the people of our province. At a time like this, everyone’s attention should be focused on helping our economy rebound from the global recession and moving forward with an agenda that families can see is in their long-term interest,” Campell said. “It’s time for a new person to lead. I am asking the party to move as quickly as possible to organize a leadership con-vention. I intend to ensure a smooth and orderly transition. My goal is to return public attention to what is important to British Columbians – their jobs, their families and how government can best support them.”

Campbell added he was very blessed to have been in the premier’s position longer than most of his predecessors and to have been a part of BC’s history.

Peace River South MLA Blair Lekstrom said he was surprised by the decision and he didn’t expect the announcement to be made after the recent Cabinet shuffle and Campbell’s televised address where he made announcements for tax cuts and new learning initiatives.

“I think it’s fair to say the people had reached a point where he (Campbell) had lost the trust of the public. When you get that feeling from the people you represent, it doesn’t matter what poli-cies you’re working on, the issue becomes the individual rather than the policy and the govern-ment,” said Lekstrom.

Earlier this year, Lekstrom left the BC Liberal party to become an independent MLA. Lekstrom said he didn’t leave government because of Campbell, but rather the government’s unwill-ingness to listen to the public on the HST. He said the Liberals will have to reevaluate their po-sition on the HST, adding the government needs to have a frank and open dialogue with the public on expectations related to the budget.

Lekstrom did not rule out running for leader-ship, but he will give it some time to discuss with his family, and out of respect for the Premier and the office.

“Does it interest me? Most definitely it does, but I would do things so much differently than

the way they’ve been done, and I mean that with no disrespect to the Premier,” he said.

He said he anticipates candidates will start coming forward within a week to 10 days.

Wayne Dahlen, president of the South Peace BC Liberal Riding Association, said he was not surprised by the decision. He said he thinks Campbell has done some wonderful things for the province, turning it around from a “have-not” province before he took office into one of the best economies in Canada, but it was the right decision for the party, the government and the province.

Dahlen said as the former mayor of Dawson Creek, he can appreciate that government lead-ers can overstay their welcome. With regards to the HST, he said many in the public seemed to be more concerned the Premier than the issue itself, and with Campbell stepping down, it might get people to rethink their opposition.

The North Peace BC Liberal Riding Asso-ciation President, Andy Ackerman, said the an-nouncement caught a lot of people off guard. He said he is sad to see Campbell is leaving as he feels the Premier had a great vision for the prov-ince and the strength to carry it out.

“Its going to be an interesting time and it will be interesting to see who steps up and puts their name forward,” Ackerman said. “The process of selecting a new leader takes a bit of time and the provincial board for the BC Liberals will be

working on where and when this will happen.“Peace River North MLA Pat Pimm said he

learned of the Premier’s resignation the same time the public did.

Pimm said Campbell has worked very hard and we should celebrate the achievements he made for the province. He said he thought there would be an announcement from Campbell, but he did not think it would come so quickly.

“It’s a sad day for the province,” Pimm added. He said he would not speculate on possible

leadership candidates, adding he would not be adding his name to that list.

The BC Liberal Party had scheduled their 2010 Biennial Party Convention for Nov. 19 and 20 in Penticton, but given Campbell’s announcement, the convention is going to be rescheduled so the leadership convention can be called.

“In these circumstances our constitution has provisions to move forward, and in keeping with those, we will be rescheduling our party conven-tion once the date for the leadership vote is deter-mined by the party executive.” said BC Liberal Party president Mickey Patryluk.

The BC Liberal Party executive will meet in the near future to set a date for the leadership vote. In accordance with the party’s constitution, the leadership vote must be scheduled within six months of that meeting. Campbell will remain as Premier until a successor has been chosen by party members.

JohN eWoNUS

SOLD

By Matthew Bains NORTHEAST – British Columbia con-

tinues to break ground, literally and figura-tively, in expanding market opportunities for BC wood in China.

Pat Bell, Minister of Forests, Mines and Lands, reported on some of the successes on Nov. 2 during a trade mission.

He said the previous day marked three major events, with the most significant be-ing a groundbreaking ceremony for a new mid-rise residential building in Tianjin, about 160 kilometres southeast of Beijing. Four of five floors of the building will be wood-framed.

“It’s really the breakthrough we’ve all been looking for in terms of getting into the mid-rise housing market,” said Bell, adding that market represents about 70 per cent of housing construction in China.

He said the project includes three more s i m i l a r buildings on the site, and two smaller ones, and is the result of a Memo-randum of Understand-ing the Gov-e r n m e n t s of British C o l u m b i a and Canada signed with the Chinese M i n i s t r y of Housing and Urban-Rural De-velopment. Canada will con t r ibu te design sup-port, lumber m a t e r i a l s , and quality a s s u r a n c e during construction, representing about 15 per cent of the total costs.

“In the past, we’ve tended to have to pro-vide the entire project and turn the building over,” said Bell. “In this particular case, it is only a small portion of that.”

He added Canada will provide technical expertise and quality assurance for three other projects.

The minister said next he visited Lang-fang City, located between Tainjin and Beijing, for the opening of a roof truss manufacturing facility. He said the facility has a capacity to create 400 roofs per year from structure-grade lumber, and already has orders for three months, with lumber coming from Mackenzie, BC.

The Forestry Innovation investment of-fice in China provided a $30,000 roller press to the facility and Canada Wood Group will provide technical training to operate the press, but the local govern-ment assumes all other costs. Bell said the Province of Hebei, where Langfang City is located, has a strong wood frame construc-tion policy, led by a vice governor who used to be the federal forests minister in China.

Thirdly, Bell said he took part in sign-ing a Memorandum of Understanding with

Beijing Na-tional Build-ing Materials (BNBM) to build the first wood frame building in C h e n g d u , capital of Si-chuan Prov-ince in the Chinese inte-rior, as part of an earth-quake recon-struction pro-gram. Canada and B.C. are s p o n s o r i n g the project with design support, qual-ity assurance, and lumber m a t e r i a l s . The minister said the par-ent company,

China National Building Materials, is the largest importer of lumber from British Columbia into China. In fact, he said

Canada has now surpassed Russia as the largest softwood lumber supplier to China, as of the first quarter of this fiscal year.

“That is a real benchmark to see Canada move ahead and take the strongest position in the Chinese market,” he said.

Bell said the competitive pricing and durability of BC lumber is what will drive demand in the Chinese market going for-ward. He added the Chinese are very keen on reducing their carbon dioxide emis-sions, and see wood frame construction as being key over traditional light steel con-struction.

He added there may be further opportu-nities for other wood products as well.

“Pulp is a huge opportu-nity, and the incremental tonnage, particularly in the tissue market here, is astro-nomical.”

He said a large percentage of BC pulp is already com-ing over to China, and that market is helping drive pric-es to record highs, and sus-tain solid wood manufactur-ing in British Columbia. He said wood pellets are a rela-tively new product in China,

and he doesn’t expect significant imports of pellets for some time, but there may be an opportunity to convert coal-fired power plants to wood-burning ones in the future.

Bell said he also met with about 40 of the largest developers in China, and was interested to learn resort home construc-tion in China could represent a significant market opportunity going forward.

New opportunities for BC wood opened in China

By Matthew BainsCHETWYND – Chetwynd Mayor Evan Saugstad re-

cently announced he will not be seeking re-election for a fourth term as mayor next year.

Saugstad said after what will be his ninth year as mayor, he’s looking to return to private life and make time for some of the things he’s had to put on hold. He added he is

also not looking to overstay his welcome.“It’s not that I may be welcomed or unwelcomed, it’s

just when you get into some of these elected positions it can be easy just to sit there until somebody votes you out.”

He said especially in small communities like Chetwynd where not many people come forward to run anyway, hav-ing a long-serving, incumbent mayor can discourage new people from putting their names forward. He said that’s one of the reasons he made the announcement well before the civic elections next November.

“Right now, nobody I know of has expressed an interest in being mayor, so I thought it was time to put it out there a year ahead of time to get people thinking about what they want to do,” he said.

Looking back, Saugstad said he sees a change in the way the community sees itself.

“I think the people are a lot prouder of the community in how it looks and how it feels.”

He said one important factor has been the Chetwynd In-ternational Chainsaw Carving Championship, which not only has garnered international prestige, but has left a leg-acy with all the carvings that now decorate the town. He added the expansion of the Chetwynd and District Rec-reation Centre, the addition of the skateboard and BMX park, and other developments are all factors.

His time as mayor hasn’t been without challenges, though. Saugstad said Chetwynd was enjoying a relatively steady period of growth for the last decade until the global economic recession of 2008. Between late 2008 and early 2009, the town saw the closure of the Canfor sawmill and the Tembec pulp mill, curtailments and layoffs at the near-by coal mines, and a major wind project put in financial limbo. He said the diversification of the local economy helped Chetwynd weather the downturn better than many other resource-dependent communities.

“I don’t think people here lost hope we would come back – it was just a matter of time.”

The mayor said despite the challenges, he never lost fo-cus on pushing for economic development in Chetwynd.

“Anybody in this position should be out there saying what they want, believe and what they’re working to, rather than just sitting on the fence and seeing which way the wind is blowing,” he said.

Saugstad has been an advocate for economic de-velopment throughout the region as a member of the South Peace Economic De-velopment Commission, and

starting this year, as board chair of the Northern Develop-ment Initiative Trust. He said he’s enjoyed working with the other directors on the board of the Peace River Re-gional District, especially his colleague representing the rural areas outside of Chetwynd, Electoral Area E director Tim Caton.

“We have one of the best regional districts I think there is,” he said. “In terms of our local economies, we’re all tied together …if you believe in a strong economy, you have to believe in each other.”

The mayor said now that the local economy has stabi-lized, and the mines are looking to expand, the biggest challenge for Chetwynd going forward will be to develop in a way to accommodate new workers.

As for himself, he said he will continue working with Spectra Energy as a community coordinator, and looks forward to having more time to hunt and fish, and perhaps do some more traveling. Saugstad had put his name for-ward as a BC Liberal nominee for the MLA position in the riding of Peace River North in 2009, but he said another run at provincial government is not in the cards right now.

By Matthew BainsDAWSON CREEK – The Dawson Creek community

once again showed oceans are no barrier to their compas-sion.

Individuals and businesses donated generously during the third annual Malawi Dinner at the George Dawson Inn on Nov. 3, hosted by the Interact Club, a group of young Rotarians.

All the proceeds went to Astikana Pa Ulendo (Girls on the Move), an all-girls school in a rural area of the African nation of Ma-lawi. Unfortunately, co-founder and director Mem-ory Chazeza was unable to make it to the dinner, but co-founder and Canadian di-rector Christie Johnson was in attendance.

She said this year, funds are being directed towards construction of a cafeteria for the students. She said currently, they are cooking for 320 students in a struc-ture so small the girls have to eat in shifts, and they cook over fires that fill the place with smoke. She said the cafeteria would double as a hall/multipurpose room for gatherings, and could be rented out to the surround-ing community to generate some income for the school.

“When the cafeteria comes in, then we’ll have electric-ity, and it will be cheaper for running the school, healthier for the girls, better for the environment, and they’ll all be able to fit under one roof all together.”

Johnson added the build-ing will cost $219,000, but they already raised about $100,000 before the dinner.

She said the facility is part of their long-term sustain-ability plan for the school, which is to make it the best girls’ school in the country. She said with the best facili-ties, they can attract the best teachers, and with the best teachers, they can attract private students who will pay their own tuition but also subsidize the girls who can’t afford it.

“We feel we can’t contin-ue to pour money from Can-ada to Malawi forever. Our plan is the school is going to be independently run.”

Johnson said the support from Dawson Creek has been beyond compare. She said the community funded the construction of three and a half of the nine build-ings at the school, and sup-ported at least 100 students through direct sponsorships. She said last year, their donations funded a third classroom block, allowing another 80 girls to go to school. She added the local Rotary Clubs have support-ed the school for longer than any other clubs in Canada.

“There’s something about this town – the young people have energy and they’ve really bought into this idea,” said Johnson.

One of those young people is Blair Wade, 17, president of the Interact Club.

“It’s such an honour to see everyone come out to our event, and all the generous donations we’ve had from businesses in town for our auction,” she said. “We couldn’t do it without their support.”

Wade added what makes her and the other young Ro-tarians so passionate about the cause is that they see the difference their actions make on the lives of Malawi girls every year.

“We can see the impact it’s having on these girls …they become strong, inde-pendent woman and deci-sion-makers for their own lives. We’re giving these girls the opportunities that I so often take for granted.”

Johnson said the support of the Schilds family, espe-cially, has been unwavering, since they made an initial donation, in memory of the late Beth Schilds, in 2007 to help construct the first class-room block. Husband Fran Schilds said his family rec-ognized the difference they could make in the lives of Malawi girls.

“The girls weren’t being educated, just the boys were,

and there was no chance for the girls,” he explained. “The girls were only 12 or 13, getting married, having babies, getting HIV …so we decided this would be a real oppor-tunity to educate these girls.”

He added he’s proud to know the first girl he sponsored went to school for three years and went on to become a welder.

Community continues to support Malawi girls school

Matthew Bains photoChristie Johnson, co-founder of the Astikana Pa Ulendo girls school in Malawi, told Rotarians and members of the Dawson Creek community their support has been crucial in building the school to what it is today.

Can you believe the weather so far for November? With the warmer weather we have right now, why not get out there and take a walk around your community and see what is going. If you see something cool that you want to let your friends know about, add me to that list and email [email protected] - I would love to hear about what is going on in your neck of the woods.

This week I wanted to touch on 2 organi-zations and 1 business that are all planning on an event over the next little while.

First off is NEAT – the Northern Envi-ronmental Action Team. NEAT has been able to grow this past year and now are set up in Fort Nelson. They offer some great programs up there that are similar to the ones here in Fort St. John or in Dawson Creek but of course, more tailored to the needs of the Northern Rockies Regional Municipality. NEAT has teamed up with Encana and the Minerva Foundation to bring the residents of Fort Nelson the Sec-ond Hand Clothing Give-away. Until Nov.

10, residents have the oppor-tunity to drop off clean, gen-tly used clothes and hangers at the Northern Lights Col-lege drop box. Then on Nov. 12 from 6:30 p.m. – 8:30 p.m. and on Nov. 13 from 10:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. you can head up to the Fort Nelson Second-ary School band room where you can find that perfect piece to add to your wardrobe. This is a free event and gives you the opportu-nity to give your clothes a second chance at a new life and find something to add to your wardrobe. Don’t mind the pun, but this is a really neat event.

I got my first email last week from a reader who had an event. On Nov. 20 the Peace Valley Environmental Association will be hosting a fundraiser. “Protect the Peace” Silent Art Auction will be at Whole Wheat & Honey cafe on Nov. 20 at 7:00 p.m. This event will feature BC artists that either currently live in the North Peace

or have lived here in the past. There is going to be paintings, quilting, pottery and photography available to buy. You can actually view the art now until Nov. 20 as its being displayed at the Cultural Centre in the upstairs loft or on Sunday, Nov. 14 in the downstairs foyer as part of the Christ-mas Market event. Tickets

are only $10 and available at Peace Gallery North or at Whole Wheat & Honey café and it includes coffee, tea and dessert and there will be local entertainment.

I talked about social media in my edito-rial this week and this is an event that if you want to know about social media then you should be attending it. You can Join Motion Media for a full day workshop on how you can embrace Social Media and get your online presence off the ground. On Tuesday, Nov. 30, from 9am - 4pm, there will be a full day of discussion and

conversation based around how to improve your online experience, and lunch and snacks will even be provided.

They will start off the day talking about the basics of the Internet and how some say your website is your business’ other front door. Moving on from websites to Social Networks, they will ease the way into Facebook and Twitter and how using both can be beneficial to growing the com-munity around your brand. Learn how to become a trusted source within the com-munity and how to become transparent. At the same time they will discuss helpful tools to use and how to monitor engage-ment. They will also go over why connect-ing Twitter and Facebook may or may not be a good idea for your situation and why spamming your community wont get you anywhere online.

This will be quite the event to go to if you have any questions about social me-dia. For more information, you can email [email protected] or on Twitter @Motion_Media


Power of Social MediaWords of Opinion EDITORIAL

Community Outlook

Giving clothes a second chance, BC artists and being a tweeter

A few years ago, the Internet changed. Facebook became a word in everyday life and soon after that, we started to twitter about the goings on in life with the use of 140 char-acters. I jumped on the Twitter bandwagon back in 2008 and lately noticed just how powerful social media can be.

Social media has surged in popularity in recent months due to the quick nature it can be used in delivering the news and pop culture events. It can also be a tool that is used to help promote events, businesses and even personal lives.

In October, I had gotten the City of Fort St. John to proclaim the month of November as “Movember” for the Movember Campaign. After this event, I had twittered and facebooked the images of the proclamation and talked about it. Shortly after using Twitter, I had received a mes-sage from the Canadian Movember campaign as to how this proclamation happened and what it entailed. Next up, I had received a message from Peter Verge, a guy that lived in Vancouver who was helping out with the Movem-ber campaign there. Peter and myself chatted for a bit and I sent him the info concerning the proclamation and with that info, he was able to get the City of Vancouver to also proclaim the month of November as “Movember” and the Fort St. John proclamation was featured as a news story on http://ca.movember.com.

This surprised me because it showed me the power of social media and how something that would remain a local story can go global. With the right information and topic, stories now are reaching a more global population and peo-ple in Nova Scotia are now staying up to date on things back here in B.C. as an example. I really didn’t see the full effect of this until that event, and it made me realize how social media can play an important part in our lives.

FEEDBACK

Editor:I breathed a sigh of relief hearing Camp-

bell’s resignation as Premier.His attitue towards us folk last spring at

the Hudson’s Hope airport on his visit to an-nounce the next Site C Dam process, when Stage 2 was a governmental farce was appaul-ing.

The same applies to the “Paddle to the Pre-mier” event in Victoria in mid-September. He then realized he should apologize to First Na-tions people for not turning out and came to Fort St. John and to the Treaty 8 building two weeks ago now. Was he too stupid to real-ize residents of the Peace River Valley were also in attendance in Victoria along with many other anti Site C Dam objectors. No apolo-gizes for not turning out to them. He was fast becoming a dictator to all British Columbians and a traitor also to the First Nations.

Nick Parsons,Farmington, BC

Editor:Believe it or not, although BC generates over 90%

of its energy through renewable hydroelectric sources, dirty energy is still very much a part of our homes’ and offices’ energy consumption. This is because BC shares its electrical grid, the Western Interconnection, with much of the coal-burning Western USA--all the way down to California.

BC is not only making bold moves toward relying more and more on green energy like wind and run-of-river but is also one of the cleanest energy producers in North America. And yet the dirty energy produced by the US is running through our part of the grid as well as theirs -- the grid does not, after all, know how the energy flowing freely through its veins was produced.

Our energy future is very closely tied to the USA’s.

And if the USA is not taking sufficient action to lessen its dependence on greenhouse gas emitting sources of energy then let’s help them out by sharing our green gifts with them. This would not only be a great poten-tial source of revenue for BC but also a way of ensuring our care for the planet does not end at BC’s borders.

Editor:This is my dad – he was a Regi-

mental Police Officer, rode an Indian motorcycle and part of his job was taking dispatches to the front lines – dangerous job as the Germans wanted to prevent orders from arriving at the front so would shoot motorcyclists if they could.

He served with the Algonquin Reg-iment from 1939-45 in the European Theatre – mainly France, Belgium and during the liberation of Holland – also in Germany.

I just returned from Europe where we toured the battlefields from Vimy Ridge to Juno Beach and many plac-es my dad had been in France and Belgium. We had two vets on our all-Canadian tour. Both were flying

officers who had been shot down and became POWs – we all felt hon-oured to have them with us and as they said – all gave some – some gave all.

Time to remember those who served for us

A week or so ago, I was honoured to be appointed Parliamentary Secretary for the Natural Gas Initiative to the Minister of Energy.

As the natural gas indus-try continues to grow and change it will be a great benefit to have a voice from our region to work directly with Energy Minister Bill Bennett, and I will keep you informed as to which initia-tives I will be focusing on over the next few months.

Although the natural gas industry in our area is projected to provide jobs and re-sources for the province for the next 100 years, it is important to remember that the forest industry has been a major building block of our province for the previous 100 years.

The devastating effects of the mountain pine beetle and the drastic slump in the US housing market have brought hardship to the industry and the communities it sup-ports.

Fortunately, our government has been working in partnership with the federal government and the forest industry since 2003 to diversify the market for B.C. forest products by expanding into China.

And it’s paying off.August was a record-breaking month for

B.C. softwood lumber exports to China with 257 million board feet exported over a

one-month period. In just the first eight

months of the year, the value of these exports to China are valued at about $342 mil-lion, up 71 per cent com-pared to $200 million for the same period last year.

And we’re not done yet. This week, Minister of

Forests, Mines and Lands Pat Bell and the the largest-ever B.C. forestry trade mis-sion will be in China from

Oct. 28 to Nov. 8 to further increase lumber sales and keep this momentum going.

Several agreements will be signed, in ad-dition to tours of new wood manufacturing facilities, earthquake reconstruction and commercial wood-frame building sites.

Through the course of the 10-day mis-sion, B.C. delegates with meet with more than 35 major developers, construction firms, manufacturers and suppliers. The mission is also an opportunity to re-connect with senior government officials and re-view how the China marketing strategies are working on the ground.

What does all this mean to you?When our key industries are doing well,

they can attract additional investment and expand job opportunities for your neigh-bours, friends and family.

Together, we are going to use the indus-tries of the past and the present to lead our province into the future.

Resource Industries Will Keep B.C. StrongPeace River North MLA Report

By Matthew BainsNORTHEAST – The provincial government has outlined

a 10-year plan as it attempts to improve service delivery and outcomes for British Columbians dealing with mental health and addictions issues.

The report states in a 12-month period, about one in five individuals in the province will experience significant mental health and/or substance use problems, affecting people of all ages and walks of life. It states in 2008/09, the Province spent over $1.3 billion on services that directly addressed mental health and substance use, and it costs the province $6.6 billion annually in lost productivity.

The plan outlines milestones that include increasing the number of British Columbians who experience positive men-tal health; decreasing the number of students use alcohol or cannabis before the age of 15; increasing the number of peo-ple who receive mental health and substance use assessments and planning interventions by primary care physicians; and reducing the number of days mental health and substance use patients occupy inpatient beds.

Actions to achieve those milestones include enhancing pro-grams and services that promote maternal and family health and early childhood development; launching a nurse-led, in-home individual parent training program for first-time, at-risk parents and their infants; expanding mental health promotion and substance-use toolkits in schools; using existing national initiatives to reduce the stigma of mental health and addic-tions; collaborating with employers and unions to develop and implement workplace supports, and more.

In the Northeast, Northern Health continues to pursue a more holistic approach to mental health and addictions by combining those services where they were previously sepa-rated, said Jim Campbell, executive lead of Mental Health and Addictions Services. He said that includes a centralized intake process for people who have been referred to those services.

There have been calls for a residential treatment centre for substance abuse to be built in the Northeast, but Campbell said from the studies he’s read, building a new, expensive centre may be missing the point in improving treatment outcomes.

“What seemed to make a difference in the type of facility or the type of program was more the connection for the person back to their home community, and also if the services were

part of a continuum of care,” he said. “You could have an ex-tremely luxurious or expensive residential program, but if the person went there and received the service, but there was no connectivity back to the community, they would quite often fail.”

To that end, Campbell said part of the planning around day-treatment programs in northern communities has involved community service agencies. He said they have contracts with all the Friendship Centres in the North to provide services to First Nations in a culturally-sensitive way. He said they also have a Aboriginal Health Improvement Committee that in-cludes representatives from service agencies, and that model is being implemented in the Northeast as it has been in the Northern Interior and Northwest.

“In the Northeast there are some very good examples,” he said. “In Fort St. John, some of the family doctors are working with Mental Health and Addiction clinicians doing what they call group medical appointments – basically information and education sessions.”

He said Northern Health has for the last year been imple-menting Practice Support Program modules, which include family doctors being trained by other physicians and psy-chiatrists to indentify the mental health and/or addiction is-sue. He said doctors are given a training manual that provides them with assessment guides, so when a person comes in that they’re not sure has as issue, they can ask questions, decide the severity of the condition, and prescribe some treatments based on those assessments.

The BC Women’s Hospital and Health Centre is working on a province-wide initiative, called Building Bridges, to link the physical, emotional and sexual abuse of women to mental health and substance abuse issues, to provide a more integrat-ed approach to services.

“We felt the direction our province and Canada were going might not be reflecting some of the issues around violence against women, so we wanted to bring some evidence to that discussion,” Jill Cory, senior program leader with the Woman Abuse Response Program.

“In our data, women are very clear that, for the most part, violence and abuse precedes the development of mental health and addictions, so if we want prevention strategies we need to look at addressing violence.”

She said she hopes their data can be added to the province’s 10 year plan, so that violence against women can be seen not only as a social concern but also as a health concern.

The BC Women’s Hospital has partnered with service pro-viders, including the South Peace Community Resources So-ciety based in Dawson Creek, to deliver a more integrated, low-barrier approach to services.

By Michele MobleyIn our information and technology based society,

workplace literacy is becoming more important than ever. For example, forms that were once filled out by hand and mailed are now sent electronically. If some-one doesn’t know how to use a computer very well, that can be very difficult. Equipment in most areas of

business is becoming more computerized, and employ-ers need workers who can adjust to those changes in technology. Four out of ten Canadians do not have the literacy skills they need to fully take part in the work-place.

By building literacy skills workers are better able to understand safety manuals and instructions, and work-

place injuries decrease. Good workplace literacy can also improve communication, step up productivity, and build employee loyalty. Employees who have better lit-eracy skills also have a better chance at keeping their job as technology continues to change. So whether you are a worker or an employer, increasing workplace lit-eracy helps everyone!

Literacy in the Workplace may improve productivity

The Fort St. John Petroleum Association is hosting the 50th Annual Oilman’s Bonspiel on Nov. 17-20 at the Fort St. John Curling Club. This annual event brings in players from all over the North and South Peace.

This year’s event has $50,000 in prizes and includes special guest speaker Olympic Gold Medalist Kevin Mar-tin and his team. They will be at the Thursday stag ban-quet.

48 rinks will take part in the bonspiel with 5 events and each rink is guaranteed to play 4 games.

The Fort St. John Petroleum Association is celebrating their 51st anniversary this year. The purpose for the as-sociation is to:

• To create a nonprofit fraternal organization for educa-tional, benevolent and social purposes.

• To create a medium through which the society mem-bers may express themselves in Social activities, Educa-tional pursuits and Athletic endeavors.

• To contribute to the community in supporting worth-while projects as decided upon from time to time by the society.

• To provide entertainment that is enjoyable, instructive and beneficial to its mem-bers and families.

• To encourage a spirit of good fellowship among the society members.

To be a regular member of the association, the mem-ber is directly engaged and derives 85% of his subsis-tence from any of the fol-lowing petroleum industry enterprises:

• Manufacturing• Exploration• Production• Marketing • Drilling• Contracting• Construction • Consulting• Services• SuppliesFor more information

about the Oilman’s Bon-spiel, contact Ed at 250-787-0808 and for more information on the Fort St. John Petroleum Associa-tion, visit www.fsjpetroleu-massociation.com.

By Dave TolleyWhat a year it has been at Northern

Groove. There have been so many excit-ing new changes in our world that we just have to share them. It’s been a year since we made a bunch of changes and it’s time to say thanks!

So, what is Northern Groove? What does it mean for you? Why should you care? Over the past year the amount of arts and cultural events in Fort St. John have “gone-off” Local artists, non-profits, regional business’, and other members off this community have invested so much time and passion into connecting this community through all aspects of the arts. What do we do? We tell you about it and we show off who is doing it.

What’s New?First, there’s a new website. This is for

you, the community to use and find out what is going on in Fort St. John. Have a look! Music, art, theatre, books, reading, poetry, food, community, dance, every-thing!!! Who is putting on an event, where it is, and why you should go are all things you can find out.

Have an event? Post it for free. Tell the community about it. Where is it? What is it? When is it? Fort St. John wants to know what it is and we want to help. It’s a community posting board for all that is going on here, in FSJ.

Giving back. This is important to us. We have been supported by the commu-nity and we want to give back. We can’t thank everyone enough for supporting our dream of having a place where everyone in Fort St. John can go to find out about event. So, every month we are going to

select a local non-profit or charity and give $5.00 for every post that is placed on NorthernGroove.com. This month we’re donating to The Women’s Resource Centre. What can you do to be a part of it? Have a look, read, and do something! Take action, go to the theatre, check out the cultural centre, and have a beer and listen to some music produced right here in FSJ.

Go To: www.northerngroove.com for more info.

What’s with the magazine? You can never replace a hard copy. Something to hold, something to read, something to leave at home that you can come back to. We’re still reading magazines, we’re still tweeting, and we’re still making friends on-line. Let’s work together to support the arts and culture in Fort St. John and spread the news to everyone. Check out the No-vember issue on line right now, Stage North presented Chicago, we finally got Shawn Loftus to stand still long enough to hear his story and there are many more great stories.

Now we’re looking for artists from the region that want to get involved with our December issue. We want to promote all of the great regional potters, sculptors, writ-ers, musicians, etc. Promoting local artists and groups is our mandate and we want to encourage the community to buy local. What about a great hand-made painting, mug, or cd gift to give for Christmas? We want to do a feature on for the mag and show off all of Fort St. John’s talented art-ists. If you want to get involved drop us a note at www.northerngroove.com

Support Local.....Be Local!

Northern Groove update

FORT ST JOHN, BC – Two of the region’s foremost photographers, Wayne Sawchuk and Don Pettit, bring their images and expertise to the stage in Sustaining the Peace: Two Visions of the Peace Country, a power packed

evening of entertainment and information.Pettit will unveil his new book, Power Shift: the hope

and drama of monumental wind power and premiere his original film of the same title. Sawchuk will discuss the Muskwa-Kechika in an Era of Change and show his stun-ning photographs of this wilderness treasure.

Sawchuk will talk about issues such as climate change, the impact of new oil and gas discoveries, the effects of Pine Beetle kill and the advent of wind energy installa-tions in Northern Rockies Caribou range. He will also re-count highlights of the 86-day 2010 packhorse expedition to the Muskwa-Kechika. This is a rare opportunity to hear about the region and to see the collection of this excep-tional artist’s work.

Artist, explorer and conservationist, Wayne Sawchuk has received many honours and awards for his work to preserve the Muskwa-Kechika Wilderness. He is the au-thor of the book, Muskwa-Kechika; the Wild Heart of Canada’s Northern Rockies and has led expeditions for the past 25 years aimed at exploring the region and docu-menting it in magnificent photographs.

Award winning author photographer, Don Pettit’s latest book and film, Power Shift: the hope and drama of monu-mental wind is a fascinating and picture-rich account of the past, present and future of wind development. Pettit is a founding member of Peace Energy Cooperative and has become one of the region’s foremost experts on wind en-ergy. He will premiere his film and talk about wind energy and what it means for the Peace Region.

For 35 years, Pettit has documented the Peace Region in award winning photographs and books, including The Peace: an exploration in photographs and The Peace: a history in photographs, which have become national best sellers.

Sustaining the Peace: Two Visions of the Peace Coun-try is a rare opportunity to see, hear and talk to two of the region’s leading artists and conservationists about their work and their passions. Sustaining the Peace takes place one evening only, at 7 pm on Thursday, November 18 at the North Peace Cultural Centre. Admission is $10 at the door, children and seniors free. A question and answer and book signing will follow the presentations.

By Matthew BainsDAWSON CREEK – A program in Daw-

son Creek that helps link at-risk youth with edu-cation, life-skills and counseling is looking for a new home with the help of the community and a grant from Pepsi.

R e c o n n e c t Youth Services is vying for a $100,000 Pepsi Refresh grant, which will awarded to the project that re-ceives the most online votes before Dec. 31.

If they were to win, $80,000 would be used to replace the existing drop-in cen-tre – a pre-war, one bedroom home – with a modular unit. Another $15,000 would go towards appliances and furniture, $2,500 to-wards programming and equipment, and the remaining $2,500 towards groceries for a hot meal program.

Deanna Sudnik, department manager for the South Peace Community Resources So-ciety, which administers the program, said the current location is ideal, and they own the land, but the existing structure is falling down around them.

“We’re actually quite concerned we won’t get through the winter with it,” she said. “There’s foundation problems and plumbing problems on a fairly large scale, and we don’t want to be putting more money into it.”

She addedSudnik said the program simply has out-

grown the space as they’ve continued to see

more youth use the drop-in centre over the years.

“The program cannot continue to grow within our current struc-ture. Some of the programs and projects the staff would like to im-plement are re-ally hindered by the fact we don’t have the space to provide them.”

She said they have an agree-

ment with Hart Modular to provide a modu-lar unit at a discounted price, and the grant cover the majority of that cost. She said SPCRS would still need to contribute to the project, and find other donors, but winning the grant would make things a lot easier.

“It’s probably not realistic to say we’re go-ing to raise $150,000 from within the com-munity, that’s a huge amount of money,” she said.

Youth worker Sheldon Cooke started the grant application, and said it would be a huge benefit if they won.

“It would rejuvenate everything that we do,” he said. “We’re currently constrained by everything that’s wrong with this facility.”

He said, for example, there’s not a quiet space where youth can do homework or re-ceive one-on-one mentoring. He said the kitchen is too small and doesn’t have the ap-pliances to offer a hot meal program to up-wards of 20 youth at one time. He added the cramped space even creates friction between the youth because they’re always stepping on

each others toes. Both Sudnik and Cooke

encouraged the community to go online to www.refreshev-erything.ca/reconnectyouth to vote for the project. Votes can be cast once a day for a project.


2010 EXCELLENCE in INNOVATION AWARDSInnovation at Work Award

Recognizes the company, individual or organization that has implement-ed an innovative process or product created within the workplace that

promotes efficiencies or introduces new processes within the operation.

Winner: District of Taylor & Spectra Energy

A major partnership between Spectra Energy and the District of Taylor, with cooperation from Suncor (then Petro Canada) and Pembina Pipelines to re-use Secondary Effluent from Spectra Energy operations for irrigation water at the District’s Lone Wolf Golf Club. At 100% efficiency, this water line allows the golf course to utilize upwards of 500,000 gallons of Secondary effluent per day for irrigation. This project has received Ministry of Environment approval and not only mitigates this volume of water being returned directly to the Peace River, but allows it to be re-used and tertiary filtered by the golf course and substrates on its way back to the river water table. From the District perspective, finding an alternative source of irrigation water for the golf course was crucial in moving forward with community growth, protection and water efficiency. Being able to utilize this Secondary Effluent has directly reduced the demand for potable water by over 10 million gallons in 2010 - sav-ing costs of treatment, costs of pumping, and costs of excess wear and tear on infrastructure. Simply put, this project epitomized strong visionary leadership from industry and municipal government to create a solution with an extremely positive numerative, environmental and aesthetic upside for the community! This is believed to be one of the few, if not only, projects of this magnitude partnering Industry and Municipal Government in BC with a common goal to better the Environment and work together as partners for the benefit of the community.

Kaylen Fredrickson and Lori Ackerman awarding Mayor Fred Jarvis for their hard work and innovation.

By Matthew BainsDAWSON CREEK – The manager of a program that

helps teens and young adults overcome barriers to employ-ment was devastated to learn funding for the program is be-ing cut next year.

Dorothy Smith said an official from Service Canada, which provides the core funding for Yo! (Youth Outlook) 360, informed her in August that their contract would not be renewed after it expires on April 1, 2011.

“Service Canada said they have different priorities, that’s the only explanation they gave me. They’re going to fund a different program,” she said, adding she wasn’t told what the program would be.

The program has been running since 2005, and Smith said since that time they’ve served well over 100 youth directly, and another 50 indirectly by providing job ideas or helping to create resumes.

“There’s actually more demand now than before,” she said. “I used to have to go out on the street and talk to kids about coming into the program and getting their lives going, and now I never have to, they come here automatically.”

She said while they’re a lot of jobs available in the area, the program is more than just linking young people with employ-ment, it’s about giving them the skills to succeed in those

positions. “That’s what we do here, is get the youth that have barriers

to employment coming in, getting them stabilized and getting them used to being somewhere on time and having tasks they have to complete.”

Navarone Auger, 21, said the program helped her to up-grade her school courses, obtain Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System (WHMIS) and FOODSAFE training, and find her a job at Safeway a year-and-a-half ago.

“It kept me out of trouble,” she added. “It was a good pro-gram, for me anyways.”

Auger said Yo 360 provided funding to pay for the training to obtain her certificates, and she probably wouldn’t have had the ability or ambition to obtain them on her own.

Yo! 360 has also been heavily involved in volunteering around the community for events like the spring cleanup, and starting this year, KidSport, a volunteer-led organization that funds children to participate in sports who can’t otherwise afford to. Smith said she can’t see that program being able to continue without the volunteers from Yo! 360.

She there are, perhaps, other funding sources available, but those typically take a year to put in place, and she can’t devote time to that while managing the program at the same time. She added she hopes agencies like the Dawson Creek

Literacy Society can help fill in the gaps in service once the program ends.

The only response received as to why the funding is be-ing cut was from a spokesperson from Human Resources and Skills Development Canada, who stated the current agree-ment expires on April 1, and funding decisions for project proposals in communities in the Northern Interior have not been finalized.

DBC_1118_LB_CAR_JOUR.indd 1 11/5/10 12:59 PM

By Beth Thompson NORTHEAST –The Northern Environmental Action

Team (NEAT) has been working in the local communi-ty for over twenty years to create awareness and dem-onstrate solutions for sustainability. Our latest project is focused on an industry that is currently facing a new set of regulatory challenges – the construction indus-try.

The Peace River Regional District will be imple-menting various measures in the coming months to encourage waste reduction, segregation and recycling in various sectors, including the construction and de-molition industry. One of these measures will be the development of incentive-based tipping fees that may result in much higher fees being charged at landfills for mixed waste loads than is presently the case. In re-sponse, NEAT, the Peace River Regional District and the EcoDepot are working together to facilitate the cre-ation of a district-wide Construction and Demolition Waste Working Group.

The Construction and Demolition Waste Working Group (CDWWG) is designed to assist the construc-tion industry in identifying opportunities and obstacles that exist in the management of the industry’s waste stream. Construction and demolition (C&D) waste comprises up to 25% of the solid waste stream going to the landfill in many jurisdictions. It is estimated that no more than approximately 10 per cent of all C&D waste materials are currently being recycled, even where recycling markets are available to divert much of these materials. This waste stream involves a va-riety of materials (wood, roofing material, structural steel, drywall, and concrete) which pose unique and significant challenges.

New building standards, such as LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design), are being in-troduced locally and provincially which require an ex-treme level of environmental commitment from build-ers, often at a prohibitive cost. Currently, many waste materials are being shipped out of province in order to meet the disposal criteria for green buildings. The goal of the working group is to find economical solutions to upcoming environmental requirements. NEAT is com-mitted to working with local industry to develop local solutions and twenty years of experience in design-ing programs in response to community needs ties in nicely with the Peace River Regional District’s Solid Waste Management Plan.

Major industry players from throughout the region, such as architects experienced in traditional and green initiatives, contractors, suppliers, construction students and instructors, waste and recycling facility owners and operators provide a league of industry intelligence to build a strategy for C&D waste reduction and diversion for the region. An important factor in forming the CDWWG is the desire of all participants to embrace this forward- thinking concept. The group will partici-pate in structured meetings and discussions designed to

evaluate the current situation, iden-tify existing barriers to C&D waste reduction, and develop further local opportunities for reduction.

If you or someone in your com-pany has a vested interest in finding local and economical solutions to construction and demolition waste disposal and would like further in-formation on this project, please contact NEAT at 1.888.689.6328. The first meeting is scheduled for November 24, 2010, at 10 a.m. in the Bell Mobility Meeting Room of the Pomeroy Sport Centre. If you would like to attend, please contact Jeff Rahn (250.784.3226 or [email protected]) with the PRRD.

Fort St. John Kinsmen Atom Flyers want to see the World Junior Hockey Championship

By Matthew BainsPEACE REGION – Two candidates vying to represent the BC

Peace region, as well as north and central Alberta, as the District 1 director on the Canadian Wheat Board, discussed their vision for the board with the Northeast News ahead of a candidates forum in Dawson Creek on Nov. 9.

Henry Vos is the current director, elected four years ago. He holds a degree in agriculture from the University of Alberta, and has farmed in Fairview, Alta., for the past 20 years. He has been presi-dent of the Alberta branch of the Canadian Seed Growers Associa-tion, a public governor of the Winnipeg Commodity Exchange, a director of the Alberta Agricultural Research Institute, and currently sits on the board of the Canadian International Grains Institute.

Vos said he sees a big challenge in the long-term profitability of Canadian wheat and barley relative to other crops. He said total pro-duction has been declining for decades in Canada as farmers move to more profitable crops.

“That to me represents a serious threat to the wheat board in the future – the most significant one, I think.”

“What I’m seeing in the world marketplace is that end of the wheat market is not growing in market share. The share that is grow-ing is middle classes of wheat, more in the centre of the quality spec-trum,” he said, adding yields, not just prices, need to be considered to achieve the best returns for farmers.

Vos added the board needs to be more vigilant in ensuring costs around marketing, transportation, handling and administration of

wheat are reduced so farmers can get a better return on their crops.He said he would also like to see a change from the current con-

tract call for grain to a system where farmers could choose whether to deliver earlier in the year at a bit lower price, or later in the year and receive storage and interest payments.

He said that change would also allow farmers to manage their cash flow according to their needs, especially for new farmers who don’t necessarily have the cash flow or storage capacity established farmers might have.

His challenger for the directorship is Dan Gauthier of Donnelly, Alta., a third generation farmer. He has served on the Canadian Canola Growers Association and the Canola Council of Canada, and the Western Canadian Canola/Rapeseed Recommending Com-mittee.

Gauthier said he is a firm believer in the single-desk approach of the board. He said Producer Pay-ment Options have allowed for more pricing flexibility in recent years, and new programs are con-stantly being designed.

“Just about all the options you would have in an open market we have now, and we still have the advantage of price pooling and market power by being a group together.”

Gauthier said if elected, he would be a strong voice for improving access to producer car loading sites and grain elevators, which are issues he said he heard from many producers as he traveled through-out the district in recent weeks. He added the wheat board should push the federal government to undertake a full rail cost review.

Gauthier said while he agrees profitability of wheat and barley is an issue, he doesn’t think having more market opportunities for other crops is a bad thing. He said the drop in wheat prices is a result of more production internationally, and from his own experince, he doesn’t think the difference is as significant as Vos suggests.

“A lot of years – close to 70 per cent of the time – my wheat has out-netted (net profit) any of the other crops I grow.”

He added he doesn’t agree that quantity over quality is necessar-ily the way to increase revenues for farmers.

NewsA SpeciAl Supplement to the northeASt newS • Volume 1, no. 45 • noVember 18, 2010

Once upon a time a man called Nicholas lived in Patara, a town in the East. Because he was very fond of children and was kind and generous to them, they came to think of him as their dear friend and their beloved saint. So it was that after a time the wonderful things he did were woven into a beautiful legend. You know that Santa means Saint and Claus stands for Nicholas, and that is how he came to be known as Santa Claus.In Santa Claus’s own town, Patara, lived a great lord who had three daughters. He was very poor, so poor that one day he was on the point of sending his daughters out to beg for food from his neighbors. But it happened that Saint Nicho-las not long before had come into a fortune, and as he loved giving to those in need, he no sooner heard of the trouble the poor lord was in than he made up his mind to help him secretly. So he went to the nobleman’s house at night, and as the moon shone out from behind a cloud, he saw an open window into which he threw a bag of gold, and with this timely gift the father was able to provide for his eldest daughter so that she could be married. On another night Santa Claus set off with another bag of gold, and threw it in at the window, so the second daughter was provided for. But by this time, the father had grown eager to discover who the mysterious visitor could be, and next night he kept on the lookout. Then for the third time Santa Claus came with a bag of gold upon his back and itched it in at the win-dow. The old lord at once recognized his fellow townsman, and falling on his knees, cried out “Oh! Nicholas, servant of God, why seek to hide yourself?”Is it not wonderful to think that this was so long ago, sixteen hundred years, yet we still look for the secret coming of Santa Claus with his Christmas gifts? At first he was said to come on his own birthday, which is early in December, but after awhile, as was very natural with Christmas so near, the night of his coming was moved on in the calen-dar, and now we hang up our stockings to receive his gifts on Christmas Eve. In some countries children still put their shoes by the fireside on his birthday. In others they say it is the Christ-Kindlein or Christ Child who brings the gifts at Christmastime. But it is always a surprise visit, and though it has happened so many hundreds or times, the hanging up of the Christmas stocking is still as great a delight as ever.

By Rosolynn KalbHappy November everyone! At least it is today as I

write this column. We are loving this mild weather and so are all the dogs and cats at the shelter.

I want to report on a very happy story this month re-garding a lost dog, her pups and some w o n d e r f u l people at the Oil and Gas Commission. We received a report of a small dog at large at the Mile 81 rest stop. Pass-ersby were feeding her but, because she was f r igh tened , no one was able to catch her. I took a trap up to try and catch her but had no luck. Shelley Calder from the Oil and Gas Commission asked one of her co-workers, Josh McIsaac, to try on his way home and he too was unable to catch her. A day later, someone brought 4 newborn puppies to our shelter saying they were found at the Mile 81 rest stop. We knew who they belonged to. In the meantime Shel-ley Lang and Sarah Warner from the OGC, on their day off, also travelled up to Mile 81 to try and help. Josh got the idea of putting the blanket the puppies were wrapped in inside the trap. It worked like a charm and mama dog walked right in. Needless to say, all were soon reunited at the shelter and are now being fostered until they can find forever homes.

I can’t say enough about Shelley and the other staff from the OGC who, on their own time, decided to spend it trying to help this dog and her pups. That’s not all they do – Shel-ley and her co-workers always participate in our fundrais-ers and hold some of their own fundraisers to support us. This year, Shelley was the top fundraiser at our Paws for a Cause Dog Walk too. So thank you Shelley, Josh, Shelley, Sarah and all the others at the OGC that have supported us during the past 10 years – in so many ways.

It’s been awhile since I have done a column and we have had many animals come through our doors in the last few months. One of them was Taylor, a female German Shep-herd mix who was found by Mile 28 with a broken hind leg. Sadly, the leg needed to be amputated but, happily, Taylor is recovering well and is available for adoption. She is very energetic, great with other dogs and would love a forever home in a family with children.

Some of you may remember a recent article in the news-paper about another dog, Gracie, who also had to have her

leg amputated. The vet felt that she had been caught in a leg hold trap and she was very emaciated when she arrived at the shelter. She has now recovered and is in foster care pending adoption. Thank you to all who helped out with donations toward the medical costs for Taylor and Gracie.

Our medical budget is very limited and even with discounts from the vets, these procedures are very expensive. These are highly adoptable animals and will make very loving pets. Please consider one of them.

A big thank you to participants of the CNRL Golf Tournament for choosing us as their charity. They raised over $9,000.00 on our b e h a l f . Thanks so much to all of you.

S p e c i a l thanks to C o r r i n e and Perry S p i t z e r from the N o r t h Peace Vet-

erinary Clinic who held a pet identification awareness event and donated the pro-ceeds of $307.00 from that event to us.

Our annual Halloween Howl was a great success and the weather cooperated again. Our next fundraising event will be Pet Pics With Santa. This event is usu-ally held early in December so stay tuned for dates and times.
