Local NewsJob fairs postponed

BC Hydro has postponed Site C job fairs scheduled for this month as it reevaluates its open house policies following Thurs-day's deadly police shooting out-side an event in Dawson Creek.

On Tuesday, the Crown utility

announced that job fairs sched-uled for July 28 to 30 in Tumbler Ridge, Fort St. John, and Chet-wynd will be postponed to Sep-tember 2015.

“BC Hydro is currently evalu-ating its policies and procedures for public meetings,” the com-pany wrote in a release. “The postponement of the job fairs will

give us time to complete this task. Our intent is to ensure the safety of our staff and members of the public.”

It’s unclear what policies and procedures are being re-evaluat-ed, or if they could mean added security for future events. It’s also unclear what specific days in Sep-tember the events will happen.

Calls to BC Hydro asking for more information were not re-turned as of press time.

Last Friday, James McIntyre, 48, was killed by police outside the Fixx Urban Grill in Dawson Creek while a Site C open house took place inside.

The Independent Investiga-tions Office of B.C. is still investi-gating the matter.

McIntyre was reportedly wear-ing a Guy Fawkes mask, used to identify someone as a supporter of the Anonymous hacktivist group, at the time of his death.

“As in the past, Anonymous will not stand idly by while our own are cut down in mask,” a video online posted by members identifying as part of the Anony-mous group stated.

“We will most certainly avenge one of our own when they are cut down in the streets while protest-ing the earth wrecking environ-mental policies of the Canadian government.”

More than 500 petitioners, 20 letter writers and four speak-ers registered their concerns about a proposed frack sand shipping facility with Dawson Creek city council at a packed meeting Monday.

Criticism against the proj-ect has been mounting in re-cent weeks as bulldozers clear the site north of the CN rail tracks between 8th and 15th Streets—what some are calling the downtown core.

The proponent, who owns a nearby cement plant, said the 50,000-square-foot facility

would unload the sand from rail cars for shipping in trucks bound for the oil patch. How-ever, details on the plant itself are scarce, as a development permit has not been submitted to the city. Fracking sand, also known as silica, is a "proppant" used to keep fissures in oil and gas beds open during produc-tion.

Project proponent Dar-ryl Wiebe told Alaska High-way News that his compa-ny planned to ship "clean, washed" sand, adding "there won't be anything dangerous in the city." Others weren't convinced, citing studies on silica dust's link to respiratory ailments.

Tim Schram, owner of near-by Corlane's Sporting Goods, said the facility isn't worth the risk.

"I run a business not 600 feet from the border of that facility, we have 20 employees in the building, and I'm gravely con-cerned about it," he said.

"I don't imagine how they could possibly contain the sil-ica dust." "When you put that type of a facility in the centre of a community—how many homes are just to the north of that location? We have chil-dren playing in backyards. I don't think I'd want my chil-dren across the street from that. I don't want my em-

ployees any where near that type of facility," he added. Paul Davey also weighed in, saying too little was known about the impact the facility would have on traffic, property values and "the overall appearance" of the area. "Will it be an eyesore?" he wondered.

The plan has been vehe-mently opposed by the owners of the Upper Montney Estates Apartments, whose 300 resi-dents would share a property line with the facility. They told council earlier this year that they would have never made their $26-million investment had they known a facility like

the one proposed could go in next door.

Owners Doug Scott and Scott Butler planned to bring a specialist to council to speak on silica's health impacts, but were denied because they had presented at an earlier meet-ing. They've launched a well-funded digital and direct mail campaign aimed at influencing public opinion on the plant. Council had previously consid-ered rezoning the land, which is currently light industrial, to give time to consult citizens on the proposal. However, the city backed off after a meeting with CN Rail, citing legal advice.

Anaphylactic shock is the body’s reaction to an allergen. The most common causes are food, insects (stings) and medications. Reactions usually develop within an hour of exposure to the allergen, and can be life-threatening.

Asthma and certain diseases may increase the severity of reactions.

SymptomsSymptoms usually develop soon after exposure

to the allergen. Characteristic symptoms can be divided into categories based on the a� ected organ:

• Skin and mucous membraneo Swelling and redness around the eyeso Swelling of the lips and tongueo Urticaria, itching, redness

• Respiratory systemo Di� culty breathingo Cougho Throat swellingo Bluish lips

• Cardiovascular systemo Palpitationso Drop in blood pressureo Excessive sweating

• Digestive systemo Di� culty swallowingo Nausea, vomitingo Diarrheao Stomach cramps

• Nervous systemo Headacheo Dizzinesso Confusion

It is important for allergy su� erers to be able to recognize the symptoms associated with anaphylactic shock. The sooner they can identify the reaction, the faster they can get treatment.

Anaphylactic shock

SrinivasChalagalla

B.Pharm., PhD

PreventionAlthough di� cult in the case of insect

stings, the best prevention is to avoid known allergens. Any person at risk of going into anaphylactic shock (prior anaphylactic shock, severe allergic reaction, etc.) should have an epinephrine auto injector (Epipen, Anapen, Twinject) in their possession. The prompt administration of epinephrine gives the patient a 5 to 20 minutes window to get to the nearest emergency room. That said, when planning a trip or activity that is about 1 hour from the closest emergency department, a minimum of 3 doses of epinephrine is needed.

A person who goes into anaphylactic shock may be unable to self-administer the epinephrine. It is therefore important to inform family and close friends, as well as anyone left in charge of children, of particular symptoms to watch out for and how to administer epinephrine.

In the event of anaphylactic shockHave the person lie on his or her side and

clear their airway to make breathing as easy as possible.

Then, promptly administer the epinephrine in the leg muscle. The drug must be injected at intervals of 5 to 15 minutes, until a suitable response is achieved or until emergency services arrive.

Emergency services must be called immediately.

If you have any questions or would like to learn how to use the injector, do not hesitate to speak to your pharmacist

When a two-seat T-6G Texan fi ghter plane rumbled onto the runway at the Dawson Creek airport Wednesday, it was like a homecoming.

Seventy years ago, the planes would have been a common sight in Dawson Creek, then a de facto military camp at the start of the Alaska Highway.

In the cockpit Wednesday were Craig Lang and Jeff Geer, two Americans who have taken a

trip on their respective bucket lists and turned it into a multinational documentary project aimed at telling one of the untold stories of the Second World War.

Along with a support plane and a team of Russians in a C-47 transport, Lang and Geer are fl ying the route followed by the 7th Ferry-ing Squadron, the American pilots tasked with transporting planes to the Soviet Union to fi ght Hitler.

“More than 8,000 planes were fl own to Fair-banks where the Soviets were waiting on the ground,” said Lang, who has been sitting copilot

since the team took off earlier this month.

“We’d hand the keys to them, they’d paint the Red Star on the side and they’d fl y them the rest of the 3,000 miles to Krasnoyarsk.”

From there, Soviet pilots would train on the Texan be-fore eventually fl ying west in a fi ghter or bomber to fi ght Nazi invaders. If a Soviet fl yer de-stroyed a tank or a plane, Daw-son Creek played a small role.

On Wednesday, Lang and Geer landed in Dawson Creek, a trip eight years in the mak-ing.

Geer has been fl ying war-birds since 2004, and fl ying a biplane from Nome, Alaska, to Russia had been one of his dreams. When examin-ing route charts between the Lower 48 and Alaska, he dis-covered that the trip had been done before.

“[Geer] came back to me and he said ‘I found the Lend-Lease route,’” said Lang. “I said ‘what in the world is a Lend-Lease route?’”

The route, named for the Lend-Lease program that pro-vided both Russia and Britain with U.S. war material, follows a “trench” parallel to the west coast beginning in Great Falls, Montana.

“So we started discover-ing how they did it. It was like peeling away an onion skin because there was so much forgotten history,” said Lang.

He and Geer eventually formed a non-profi t, Bravo 369, in reference to the fi rst air route between the United States and Russia following the Cold War. They’ve since

planned a documentary, War-planes to Siberia, and have been charting their progress on social media.

Geer and Lang set out from Washington State in the Texan, stopping in Great Falls where they were seen off by veterans of the 7th Squadron and the Russian Ambassador to the U.S.

Working with the Russians has been a good experience, Lang said, despite tensions between the two governments over Russian aggression in Ukraine. He said both Ameri-cans and Russians have largely forgotten the “logistical feat” that helped defeat Nazi Ger-many.

“At the end of the war, Stalin said, ‘if you even mentioned we were helped by the Americans, that’s the end of you,’” Lang said.

“The United States was just so glad to be done with the war that we forgot about it. We thought this would be a great way to introduce young peo-ple to this story, and maybe in some small way improve US-Canadian-Russian relations,” said Lang.

In Fairbanks, Bravo 369 will hand off to Russian pilots, who will complete the journey. In between, they’ve stopped at the Peace Region airfi elds built to relieve squadrons making their way to Russia.

On Thursday morning, they were back in the air bound for Fort Nelson.

The Dawson Creek Seals Swim Club hosted their annual

invitational summer meet from July 18-19 and took advantage of their hometown pool, with a first place finish in the team competition by a wide margin.

The Seals finished the meet with 1,712 points, followed by the Fort St. John Stingrays who had 623 points. The Mackenzie Rainbow Swim Club came in

third with 381 points and the Prince George Pisces rounded out the field with 330 points.

The Seals had a huge contin-gent of swimmers at the meet

with 83 and a total of 130 from different clubs compet-ed over the course of the two-day meet.

Head coach for the Seals Danny Schilds was extremely pleased with both his own teams’ performance and the running of the meet.

“It was a really good meet,” he said.

“I would have to say the organization and the running was excellent... We had just a ton of best times and excel-lent swims. And what was re-ally exciting was we had a lot of new swimmers, that it was their first swim meet and they did really well.”

Those new swimmers have continued to improve from the first meet of the season according to Schilds and that is a huge reason why he viewed the meet as success-ful.

“Massive amounts [of im-provement] than we would normally expect to see from the first meet,” Schilds said.

“We’re just a little bit past a month from our first meet and we are still seeing kids taking time off and some of them taking a lot of time off. Not just tenths or seconds, but some of the younger ones even taking ten seconds off.”

Schilds added that one of the major highlights for him was the Seals “pup” swim-

mers that before this year had never even swam in a pool.

“When they first started they were basically non swimmers back in May,” he said.

“Just about every one of those kids were swimming a length by themselves [on the weekend]. A few even swam in the relays and did two lengths non-stop.”

In the aggregate boys di-visions the hometown Seals showed well, winning four of the six divisions.

Ty O’Dwyer was the division one champ; Jack Heily in divi-sion two; Jared Reid in division three and Caleb Harris in divi-sion five. Connor Brown from the Fort St. John Stingrays was the division four champion and Nova LeFresne from Mack-enzie was the best swimmer in division six.

In the girls divisions, the Seals took home five of a pos-sible 10 individual titles.

Kendra Huttema was the top female swimmer in division two; Adelle Bailey in division three; Courtney Lutz in divi-sion six; Tori Koutstaal in divi-sion seven and Kelsey Ginter in girls O Cat 8.

Sarah Hannaford from the Fort St. John Stingrays was top swimmer in the Girls O Cat 1 and was joined at the top of the aggregate winners by team-mate Emma Murdoch from Girls O Cat 2.

The next meet for the Seals will be the Prince George Invi-tational from July 25-26.

“Organizations like these help keep our youth and our residents healthy and active,” he said.

The grants were awarded under the sport, art and culture categories of the Com-munity Gaming Grant program.

Through the program, non-profit organizations apply for access to provincial gaming revenues from Casinos and Gaming Halls throughout the province.

The grants are dolled out through the Ministry of Community, Sport and Cul-tural Development.

Starting Aug. 3, Hawkair will be offering a $94 one-way tick-et from Vancouver to Dawson Creek three days a week.

Called the "ultra-econ" fare, the early morning fl ight departs Vancouver at 7:15 a.m., with a return fl ight from Dawson Creek at 9:40 a.m.

“The fl ight is for anyone that is tired of paying high fares to fl y out of Fort St. John and Grande Prairie,” said Jay Dilley, president of Hawkair.

“Should we see the loads in-crease, we’ll add a second fl ight but the traffi c has to be there,” he added.

“Great for a business day in Dawson and a return the next morning, or an afternoon meet-ing or event in Vancouver.”

Hawkair assumed daily di-rect service at the Dawson Creek Regional Airport from Central Mountain Air in 2014.

The shelves at the Dawson Creek Salva-tion Army food bank are beginning to look a little bit like mother Hubbard’s cupboards.

Joe Ludlow, family services coordinator at the food bank, says donations are typi-cally low in the summer, but this year has been particularly bad.

“During the summer for some reason our donations always dwindle,” he said.

But, this is the time of the year when low-income and food insecure families struggle the most because their kids are home from school where they receive food from break-fast and hot lunch programs.

“During the school year, it’s a little less stress at home making sure that [families] have food to feed their children. This sum-mer has been particularly bad, but we have still managed,” Ludlow explained.

This size of the hampers going out to food insecure families and individuals has shrunk over the summer because the food bank just hasn’t had access to staples it normally has like peanut butter, which is a source of protein.

“Most food banks get canned goods,” Ludlow explains.

Although they would never turn away donations of any kind, the canned goods don't offer a lot in the way of protein and that’s why Ludlow says they try to include peanut butter in every hamper that goes out, when they can

Thanks to a $1,000 purchase form the Dawson Creek Kiwanis group, the food bank has avoided a worse situation.

As far as meat donations go — the Salva-tion Army has no worries.

“During the fall and just after Christmas, we get so much meat donated to us that it actually carries right on through until that time next year,” Ludlow says.

But in other areas, they are lacking.“It’s coming to the point now where our

shelves are getting low and we give out any-where between ten to twelve hampers a day in the summer.”

People receiving hampers can get one every 21 days.

The hampers are put together every morning by a volunteer. Usually, the set number of items that go into a hamper are reviewed every three-months, based on supply. But lately, Ludlow says the food bank has had to do it on the daily.

“If all of a sudden, we are all out of some-thing we’ll try to substitute. But if we don't have anything, unfortunately the hamper goes without it.”

Anyone who is wishing to make dona-tions can drop them off in the bin at Safe-way, or at the food bank (1463 104th Avenue) between 10 a.m. and noon. You can also call Ludlow on his cell phone at: 778-875-6517 to arrange a donation at any time of the day.

“I know some people don't know what to buy,” he said, “so they just come in and drop off monetary donations. That’s fi ne too.”

City hands out $485K contract without open bidJonny WakefieldAlaska Highway News

Dawson Creek city council award-ed a $485,500 contract to upgrade dressing rooms at the Encana Events Centre to one company without a competitive bid process, according to new details about the city's bid to host a junior hockey tournament released from a closed meeting of council.

Councillors said that time was of the essence in awarding the con-tract, saying Hegge Construction had proven reliable under tight deadlines in the past.

But, a local government watch-dog was critical of the move, saying a contract of that size should be up for bid.

As part of hosting the World Un-der 17 Hockey Challenge, Hockey Canada is requiring Dawson Creek to upgrade the visitor locker rooms at the Encana Events Centre, which will host the tournament's gold medal game.

Council voted to co-host the tour-nament in a private meeting June 15 after Sault Ste. Marie, Ont., dropped out. The tournament will run from Oct. 30 to Nov. 7 with games in Daw-son Creek and Fort St. John.

Dawson Creek paid a fee of $100,000 to host the tournament.

That means the facility must be ready by early October, and tender-ing the dressing contract would have taken weeks the city does not have, councillors reached Friday said.

To speed up the process, council waived a policy requiring that any project over $75,000 be sent to open bid.

When contacted Friday, Council-lors Mark Rogers, Terry McFadyen and Shaely Wilbur said they sup-ported the move.

“Because of the time constraint in getting the change room built, we were pretty much left with no choice but to go with Hegge,” said Rogers.

“We could have gone through the

tender process and put it out and everything, but Hegge has done construction work for the city for years and we thought it was prudent to award them the contract.”

McFadyen and Wilbur agreed, saying the tournament would bring economic benefits to the city and allow Dawson Creek to host future tournaments at the Encana Centre.

Councillors Paul Gevatkoff, Cher-yl Shuman, Charlie Parslow and Mayor Dale Bumstead could not be reached Friday.

The city paid Hegge $5.2 million

for various projects in 2014, accord-ing to city financial statements.

The company finished an emer-gency repair of the Exhibition Grounds grandstands last year at a cost of $600,000, and came in as general contractor on the Calvin Kruk Centre after the company first hired by the city dropped out.

When contacted last week, Der-mod Travis of the watchdog group IntegrityBC was critical of the city’s decision to award the large contract in a closed meeting without a bid process.

“That should not be a sole source contract unless there’s a very good justification for it, which should be made in a public meeting,” he said.

“You don’t make these types of decisions overnight, you don’t com-mit to spending half a million in taxpayer’s money without adequate debate,” he added.

“It’s going to be ratepayers who pick up the bill, and ratepayers should be brought in at the earliest opportunity.”
