FORT ST. JOHN – Forget the confessionals of Catholi-cism, a new Facebook page has over 2,000 ‘likes’ after

little more than a week in a confessing trend that could do more harm than good.

Confessions: Fort St. John was created on July 4 as a platform for locals to share secrets without disclosing their identity. Dawson Creek and other cities have similar pages. Although sharing personal information online goes back

as far as the Internet, the localized aspect can pose problems for online confessors.

“You don’t know who’s going to read it and put two and two together and go, oh that’s so and so writing that, and ahh, they just had an affair with my wife, I can just figure that out now . . . it’s more dangerous in a small town than in a bigger one,” said Cindy Hardy, psychology chair at UNBC.

But sharing a secret can be good, she said. “There is some research that shows that just writ-

ing in a journal about things that are stressful have a positive health effect.”

While the idea of confessing is attractive to people because it carries with it the idea that the confessor will be absolved of their wrongdoing, confessing anonymously may not be as beneficial.

“I would think maybe it doesn’t always have the same effect if the audience doesn’t know who you are, then it’s not you saying it,” said Hardy.

But it’s possible the identity of the person shar-ing their secrets online doesn’t carry as much weight as the audience receiving that confession.

“My guess would be that it would have quite an impact, because even though your name isn’t attached to it, you have the sense that there’s a large audience. It’s an imaginary audience, be-cause you don’t know who they are, you don’t know if they’re even there,” said An-drew Feenberg, Canada Re-search Chair in philosophy of technology at SFU.

Before the Internet there was reality TV, which was predicated on the idea of making public your most pri-vate feelings and experiences in order to entertain people, explained Feenberg. With confessing online, there’s also an element of entertain-

ment.“This is just another scene on which people can do what

they do on reality TV. But it’s like the difference between demonstrating in the street and signing an online petition: there’s a little risk if you go out in the street, there’s none at all if you sign an online petition. So there’s a little risk if you go on reality TV, there’s none at all if you confess anonymously,” said Feenberg.

You’re not exposed to any consequences if you’re con-fessing anonymously online – unless you get caught – but if you confess to an actual human being who knows who you are or who can easily find you, there might be conse-quences. What’s missing is the social control that comes with any normal human interaction.

“In everyday life where we meet people in physical en-vironments we can segregate what we reveal in different environments just by moving from one place to another, so what you say to your doctor is not going to be known to people in a restaurant where you’re ordering food” said Feenberg.

“But online there’s no segregation by environment any-more . . . instead they are acting anonymously before the whole world. They’ve sort of turned inside out the way in

which peo-ple main-tain the boundaries b e t w e e n public and private.”

F e e n -berg com-pared the trend to s e x u a l confession

websites in Turkey, which have become popular as a revolt against strict Islamic morality.

“In the case of the Turkish sites . . . it’s clear that there’s some kind of sense of liberation involved,” he said. “But in this case, nothing these people are talking about is all that taboo, it’s just private. So it’s much less easy to understand the motivation.”

There’s the cathartic explanation, where talking about a problem can alleviate stress or pain. Such is the case for one confessor who shares that she’s never had an orgasm during sex and her husband doesn’t know, and another con-fessor who says she wants to steal all the beautiful children because she can’t have a child of her own.

Other confessors could be motivated by a desire to communicate, as in the case of the post that reads, “To the hot neighbour next door. Today around 5:30 I saw you in the window getting na-ked and I couldn’t help but watch.”

There is an element of risk, or of excitement, and the possibility that maybe some-one will think they know who you are, said Feenberg. After all, the whole idea behind confessing is to get caught, to turn yourself in.

Others use the confessor page to simply share how

DAWSON CREEK - As part of coun-cil’s 2014 Strategic Priorities, the City is calling on residents interested in becoming a part of a task force that will address the City’s fiscal gap.

With oversight from councillors and se-nior staff, the task force will be charged with developing a policy framework for long-term financial sustainability. The ob-jective is to ensure the City has capacity to finance services, programs, capital invest-ment and debt obligations without impos-ing a burden on future generations. Ac-cording to a posting on the City of Dawson Creek website, downsizing municipal ser-vices may be necessary, and the task force will establish guidelines as to what level of service is required to meet the needs of the community in the future.

“We need to understand it [the fiscal gap] today so that we are not making a re-ally tough decision or leaving it for some-body five or ten years down the road,” said Mayor Dale Bumstead.

He said community involvement is im-portant to understanding the critical and discretionary services provided to resi-

dents. During a meeting on June 19, 2013, chief

executive officer Jim Chute described the fiscal gap as a financial imbalance between expected revenues and promised expendi-tures. A gap means that the City of Daw-son Creek would potentially not be able to maintain all the services that they currently offer.

“You’re looking at where your reve-nues are going to come from in the future and you’re looking at the assumption that you’re going to provide the services and infrastructure that you’re providing now. In the case of every municipality in Canada and certainly in Dawson Creek, if you look at those two numbers, they don’t match,” he said, adding that the City balances their budget annually.

Council voted to refer the issue in Octo-ber to their 2014 strategic planning process, after being presented with a report outlin-ing a three phase approach and potential work plan for proceeding to address the fiscal gap.

Those interested in becoming a part of the task force are required to submit a letter to the City, summarizing their background experience and any additional information that will assist in the selection of candi-dates. Applications are due on July 31.

Red Deer Creek fire now contained JILL [email protected]

TUMBLER RIDGE - According to the B.C. Wildfire Management Branch, as of July 14, the estimated 3,852 hectare fire in the Red Deer Creek area has been 30 per cent contained.

Crews have been working to extinguish the Red Deer Creek fire, approximately 61km from Tumbler Ridge, since July 6.

The reported cause of the fire was lightening, and the

region’s wind, hot and dry weather conditions encouraged significant growth.

Since July 8, the Wildfire Branch has increased resources to the area and as of July 14, 120 firefighters, 12 helicopters and 31 pieces of heavy equipment were assigned the fire.

On July 8, the Peace River Regional District issued a State of Local Emergency and Evacuation Order to the Ojay, Grizzly South, Red Deer Creek and areas southeast of Tumbler Ridge. The evacuation order was originally in effect until July 15, however, on July 11, the District chose to extend the evacuation until July 22.

Peace River Regional District briefs: July 10JILL [email protected]

Kelly laKe Cree NatioN requests Mou froM PrrD

Representatives from the Kelly Lake Cree Nation told directors of their efforts to become a recognized band by the Canadian government. Chief Clifford Calliou explained that they would like to be recognized under the Treaty 8 agreement, but would like to remain independent and gov-ern themselves. He requested that the district sign a Memo-randum of Understanding with the group, in order to work together for their community.

The board directed staff to work with the Nation to ex-plore what they could do with them in terms of an MOU. Chair Karen Goodings warned that any work will likely not be immediate, considering the amount of work already pri-oritized to staff.

letter is a waste for ChroNiC wastiNg sigN

The council of Saddle Hills County requested that the Peace River Regional District send a letter to the Ministry of Transportation, Ministry of Environment, B.C. Wildlife Federation, Guide Outfitters Association of B.C., and the Habitat Conservation Trust Foundation, asking for the re-moval of the Stop Chronic Wasting Disease sign on High-way 49.

Chronic Wasting Disease is found amongst members of the deer family, and can cause weight loss and death in them. Saddle Hills County said that to address the disease more effectively, the Province should educate all hunters through existing hunting regulations, social media and mail outs. The board resolved to send them a letter of thanks and advise them that they are prepared to discuss the matter fur-ther at an interprovincial meeting, with representatives from the Ministry of the Environment in both B.C. and Alberta.

PestiCiDes ProbleMs forwarDeD to aaC

The Agricultural Advisory Committee will advise re-gional district directors on the matter of banning neonicoti-noid pesticides in the region. The issue was raised by Wesly Olsen, who asked the PRRD their position regarding neo-nicotinoid pesticides in a letter on June 24.

Oslen is a former bee keeper and believes that the use of neonicotinoid is contributing to the decline of bees. In his letter, Olsen said that he believes the ban of these products is essential to ensuring proper food supply in the region.

The board has been approached to ban cosmetic herbi-cides in the past, but has declined to become involved in the matter upon advice from the Agricultural Advisory Com-mittee.

Directors approved eleven recommendations be submit-ted to the B.C. Environmental Assessment Office as their comments following a report from the Joint Review Panel Secretariat on potential conditions for BC Hydro if their Site C project is approved. The recommendations regard-ing statutory right of ways, contingency funding and the op-portunity to comment on the project’s plans and programs, were made by consensus during a Committee of the Whole meeting on July 3.

During the regular meeting, staff were directed to bring a report to the board regarding identifying a professional negotiator to assist the PRRD in their talks with BC Hy-dro on Site C project issues raised by the board that impact communities.

Directors also accepted a meeting with BC Hydro at the Union of B.C. Municipalities conference later this year. Topics of discussion will include reliability of service, staff-ing levels and power outages.

FORT ST. JOHN – We might not have volleyball nets on expansive sandy beach-es in the northeast, but Impact Volleyball Camp ensures a lack of access doesn’t stop local athletes from pursuing their potential.

Fort St. John is one of the original three camp locations, Grande Prairie and Atha-basca, Alberta, being the others. Since its inception in 2004, Impact Volleyball Camps have expanded into six northern centres in B.C. and Alberta.

“The goal of the camps was to bring and give access to athletes in places that didn’t really get access to top level coaches, or re-ally didn’t get a chance to meet their nation-al players,” said Michael Amoroso, camp director and professional player.

Coaches at Impact Volleyball are all current professional players from Canada and abroad. This year’s camps will feature Edmonton’s Kaila Whitton, Danish play-ers Casper Munk Christiansen and Martin Stenderup, who have extensive playing ex-perience in Europe, and British player An-neka Hastings, with a “formidable” resume, said Amoroso.

“A lot of camps will use local coaches or will use players who are so far past their playing days that it’s not relatable for the athletes, whereas I finished university two years ago,” said Amoroso. At 25 years old, he isn’t so far off from the youth he men-tors. “We find this way it’s a lot easier for the athletes to make the connections,” he said.

It all started when founders and aspiring volleyball athletes Ryan Pomeroy, from Fort St. John, and Daniel Kurylo, of Grande Prairie, met as teammates at Grande Prairie Regional College in 1998.

Four years later, they encountered one another again when they played against each other in Indonesia. By 2004, the pro-fessional athletes were teammates in the Azores Islands of Portugal, and together they planned the camps that would connect their communities with top of the line train-ing.

This year’s camp tour goes from Leduc, to Westlock, to Grande Prairie, to Barrhead and then to Spruce Grove in Alberta, before crossing the B.C. border into Fort St. John for the week of July 28 to Aug. 1.

In each location the day camp spans a week, and runs from Monday to Friday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. It is open to boys and girls entering grades 7 to 12. Early regis-tration is already over, but players can sign up until the morning of July 28. Last minute reg-i s t r a t i o n s , h o w e v e r , will cost an a d d i t i o n a l $50.

Moving north, we didn’t think we’d see our friends for a long time, and we definitely thought we’d be the ones travelling south, not have it be the other way around. But a couple of weekends ago, my boyfriend and I had the unexpected privilege of having friends plan a camping trip in our neck of the woods. What ho! What a pleasure. The summer was slipping by and we hadn’t yet experienced the warmth of a campfire on a cool summer night, or the long passing of a day spent lazing on a sandy beach. Bliss was in store.

We decided on Crooked River Provin-cial Park, just north of Prince George, since mutual friends who live nearby were join-ing us. We hastily wrapped up our work for the week and, still hastier, packed for four days. Tent: check. Clothes: check. Bathing suit: check. Off we went for our first fun of the summer.

We made good time. We thought we were getting near when we saw Crooked River road signs, but as we drove for another 10, 15 minutes without a camping area in sight, we began to think Crooked River snaked its way across a good chunk of the northeast, and drove on, convinced another hour, at least, of driving lay ahead.

When the turnoff appeared quite sud-denly on the left, we skidded to make the turn. We were there two hours before our projected arrival.

Celebratory drinks were had. Hot dogs burnt over the campfire were had. Marsh-mallows, hot chocolate and Bailey’s were had. The weekend was off to a good start. We went to bed without a care in the world. What we forgot, our friends brought. Some-one even packed a brand new axe.

Boy, was it a nice axe. It chopped like butter. That’s what my boyfriend said, anyway. That you could shave with it. I wouldn’t know, since I no longer use axes. I once scared myself while chopping wood.

I reached to correct a falling log, and pulled away just in time to spare my hand. From then on I would leave the woodcutting to the men.

Off they went to haul fallen, dead trees back to the campsite for splitting. One by one they returned, all filled with gusto, adrenaline and booze.

Our friend readied himself with his new axe, the tree well positioned. Whack. Whack. Whack. Chips were flying, the fire was crackling. But then there was an unex-pected sound, a dull and heavy thunk, and the terrifying call for first aid.

He was on the ground. He wasn’t get-ting up. Nobody had seen the error, nobody knew exactly what was happening. As he re-peated, “first aid, get the first aid kit,” from his knees, everybody went scrambling to his vehicle, none of us sure where to look.

“No matter how bad it is, don’t freak out,” one guy said in a hushed tone to the lot of us girls looking for the elusive stash of bandages and gauze.

I wanted to know what we were dealing with. I went to him.

“What happened?” I asked. “First aid,” was the response. I scanned his hands: all fingers in tact. I couldn’t very well see his feet from the way he crouched on the dirt. It was his leg. He’d managed to lodge his shiny new axe into his calf. We later learned that he’d simply and casually meant to swing it by his side, but got his leg instead.

Blood spilled out onto the ground, form-ing a thick, viscous, brilliantly red pool. We poured water over the wound. It was deep and long. He needed stitches. That much was clear.

“Oh, you’re fine,” his macho friends as-sured him, as if making the statement made it true. The friend who’d told us not to over react looked over to me and, with his hand, made a motion as if sewing. We nodded. He agreed that he needed stitches. But all the

boys would say was, “he’s fine,” as if all the girls who wanted to find him a doctor were irrational for suggesting it.

It was a strange situation to be labeled that way, as the drunken men ignored their girlfriends’ suggestions for finding help. And while one of them agreed with us in secret, he wanted to stay on the boys’ side.

It was apparently our job to say he needed medical attention, and it was the boys’ job to flatly deny us. I’d been naïve to think that those gender roles were mostly obsolete, but at that time, my gender pigeonholed me. Not only was my opinion not valued, it was, ap-parently, out-of-this-world-crazy. Although I was calm, and waited to see the cleaned cut before I said anything, the suggestion of stitches clearly indicated that I, and all the other girls, was overreacting.

The first aid kit was eventually uncov-ered, and our friend’s leg was wrapped up. The bandages soaked through with blood.

But he’d become adamant that he would not get stitches, that he did not need them. He was also heavily intoxicated.

His sister and I went off looking for a park ranger to see if he had any supplies, or a phone that we could use, since none of ours had service. We returned empty hand-ed. We’d all been drinking, we couldn’t drive, and we were miles away from any kind of help.

Our injured friend kept pounding back beers. Much later into the night, or maybe even the small hours of the morning, he would tell us, “You know? My leg kind of hurts.”

When we got up the next day, it was still bleeding. But the party kept on going.

He’s still alive, and he has his leg, as far as I know, and so I guess the guys were right: it was just an axe in the leg. He was fine.

Dear Editor,More violent, erratic often unprec-

edented weather events. More torna-does of ever increasing strength. More wild fires,f looding than ever before.The enormous and unsustainable cost of these events and huge increases in insurance costs. The proven scientific knowledge that global warming, climate change and unprecedented destructive weather events are caused by the extrac-tion and burning of huge quantities of fossil fuels. Canadian and other govern-ments that are subsidizing the fossil fuel industries with our tax dollars. In light of this knowledge it requires insanely radical, suicidal governments and elec-tors to support the unlimited expan-sion of the fossil fuel industries. What could be more destructive and radical than Keystone XL, Northern Gateway or Kinder-Morgan? The currently pro-posed LNG industry is extremely and radically destructive. The very concept of 48 inch gas pipelines and their rapid depletion of our natural gas resource and pollution of our atmosphere is insane. The amount of upstream pollution is in-sane as is the downstream pollution and ecological destruction. The most basic common sense demands that B.C.’s pro-posed LNG industry be downsized to enable resource, environmental and eco-logical sustainability. Production should not be increased in the tar sands for the same reasons. There is recent news of young Calgarian and other Muslims that have become “radicalized” and are now on a suicidal and murderous path. In my opinion, our own governments and un-conscionable corporate greed have put our country on a similar suicidal and de-structive path, only on an exponentially larger scale. Radicalized Muslims are “choir boys” in comparison. Thank you.

ARTS&CULTUREAmy Thiessen delivers ‘that heartfelt oommph’

Photo Credit Bronwyn ScottAmy Thiessen performing at Whole Wheat ‘N’ Honey Café in Fort St. John on Thursday evening, July 10.


FORT ST. JOHN – Singer songwriter Amy Thiessen graced Fort St. John with her angelic voice and stage pres-ence at Whole Wheat ‘n’ Honey Café on Thursday eve-ning, July 10.

The Calgary native is on tour promoting her second al-bum, In Between Goodbyes, an introspective collection that navigates the high seas of her emotional journeying and hits home.

“I tend to feel things really, really big, and so getting to the truth of things and the heart of how I feel is definitely a huge motivator,” said Thiessen, discussing what inspires her music in an interview with the Northeast News.

“Dreams can motivate me, or situations in peoples’ lives around me can definitely motivate songs as well,” she said.

Born into a farming family an hour southeast of the city, Thiessen went on to receive a bachelor of arts in commerce and was on course for a practical career.

But when she entered Canadian Idol in 2005 and landed in the top 100, she decided to take her musical talent seri-ously.

Unsure how to move forward, she continued with school, developed a business plan, and graduated in 2007 with the skills she would need as a self managed artist.

She released her first EP, a recording with more music

than a single, but not enough for a full album, in 2010, called Tell Me, and in 2011 she released her first full length album, Give Up the Fight.

On May 31 she released her second album, In Between Goodbyes.

“Honestly I really love this album, I’m really proud of it and really excited by it,” Theissen said. “The songs that I love or I connect with the most will change every day depending on where I’m at.” She doesn’t have a favourite.

Before Theissen rendered the crowd at Whole Wheat ‘n’ Honey spellbound, she performed for a full house at Rolla Pub on Wednesday evening, July 9, an experience she re-ferred to as “super adorable.”

DAWSON CREEK - After approxi-mately two years of work, staff at the Peace River Regional District presented directors with the new Parks and Trails Master Plan during a Committee of the Whole meeting, July 10.

The plan hasn’t been adopted yet, how-ever it is positioned to replace the current plan that was adopted in 1977. Directors will consider approving the plan during their next regular meeting.

The plan provides a guideline for how the board should manage and operate their trails and five regional parks in the future: Blackfoot, Montney Centennial, Sundance Lake, Spencer Tuck and Minaker River. Trish Morgan, manager of community services for the PRRD, said that the plan would be a living document, giving the board flexibility to make changes as new opportunities and challenges arise.

“At any time it can be updated by the board, nothing is set in stone. It’s just pro-viding us that general roadmap of how we are going to proceed in the future,” said Morgan.

“It’s been a long time coming,” she said. Goals of the new plan include: provid-

ing residents and visitors with opportu-nities that support a good quality of life,

providing a quality regional park system, establishing an effective communication strategy for the parks and trail system and supporting all aspects of recreational trail development through a user-groups grant program.

For Blackfoot, the plan recommends the following: the development of 10 new campsites between 2015 and 2016, the de-velopment of walking trails within the park in 2019, investigating the feasibility of an on-site sani-dump, and implementing a park attendant pilot project.

Morgan explained that Blackfoot par-ticularly was experiencing some challeng-es like theft, vandalism, drugs, gun use, pets off-leash and ATV users in the camp grounds. She said that hiring a park atten-dant may help to curb some of those chal-lenges, and that a fee-for-service was one way to help pay for the project.

Plan priorities for the Montney Centen-nial Park include: the development of ad-ditional campsites, improving the boat launch, assessing parking access, and con-sulting with ATV user-groups to see if ad-ditional opportunities for partnerships ex-ist. In Spencer Tuck, priorities include the installation of a permanent picnic shelter, replacing the outhouses, and investigating available land across the road for future ex-pansion of the park.

You’ve saved and planned for this day, and it’s almost here: In a few short weeks your son or daughter will be heading off for their first year of post-secondary education.

And now it’s time to tap into the investments held in the Registered Education Savings Plan (RESP) you diligently built for so many years – and that should take some careful thinking because you have decisions to make about how you withdraw your RESP funds to best take advantage and get the full benefit of Educational Assistance Payments (EAPs), which consist of the Canada Education Savings Grant (CESG) 1., the Canada Learning Bond (CLB) and the income you’ve invested in the investments within the RESP.

Know your withdrawal options. Once your child is en-rolled in an eligible program and as the plan subscriber, you can withdraw plan contributions tax-free and use them any way you wish – to support your child or even for your personal purchases.

Know your limits. In most cases, the government re-stricts the withdrawal of plan income EAPs to a maximum

of $5,000 in the first 13 weeks of your child’s quali-fying educational program. In some cases, the limit may be $2,500 per 13-week pe-riod. EAPs must be used to ‘further’ your child’s post-secondary education and can include tuition, school/student fees, textbooks and even ‘reasonable’ costs for moving, rent, food, and transportation.

Get government permis-sion. You can request the permission of the Minister of Employment and Social De-

velopment Canada to exceed the $5,000 or $2,500 limits on plan withdrawals. Make your request in writing and send it in as early as possible.

Avoid paybacks. If there is any money received remain-ing in your plan after your child’s post-secondary program has been completed, you may be required to refund some of the CESG monies your plan had received. To avoid any potential CESG paybacks, be sure to deplete your plan’s earnings first.

Take advantage of left-over contributions. Any con-tributions remaining in the plan after your student finishes college or university are yours to use as you wish – transfer them to another child’s plan or withdraw them for personal use.

Be tax-savvy. Remember that earnings withdrawn from your plan will be taxed as part of your child’s income. This could be a tax advantage if your child’s income is low be-cause these earnings could be effectively tax-free.

Education is expensive - and getting more so by the day. An RESP vehicle is the vital foundation of a well-funded post-secondary experience. But, there are other steps you can take to ensure your financial stability and achieve a debt-free education for your children. Your professional advisor can provide a critical helping hand every step of the way.

CHARLIE LAKE – It was a déjà vu win for Greg Pallis-ter at the second annual Senior Oilmen’s Golf Tournament at Lake Point Golf and Country Club in Charlie Lake on Weds., July 9.

Pallister, 68, won last year’s tournament as well.He took up the sport in 1991, and although he’s played

“quite a bit” since then, he hasn’t been out on the course too much lately.

“We used to play a lot more than we do now, but it’s a really good hobby,” he said.

The seniors’ only event is modeled after the Fort St. John Petroleum Association’s Oilmen’s Golf Tournament that is open to everybody in the oil industry, and is consistently over subscribed. The maximum number of players is 304, and a substantial waiting list is the norm.

“It gets a little hard when you get older to compete with the guys that can hit the ball 300, 350 yards, when we hit them like 250 (yards),” said Pallister.

“But it’s all good golf and it’s all good fun anyway, and this particular event is a whole bunch of really nice people that come together to socialize and have a good time and play some golf.”

The idea behind making a separate tournament for play-ers 55 and older was to take some of the load off of the Petroleum Association Tournament, said Darwin Pimm, event organizer.

“The oil industry is probably about 65 years old now so it’s just getting to that point that there’s getting to be a lot of retirees here in the summertime,” he said.

Despite dark, threatening clouds and intermittent show-ers on Wednesday, golfers, including Jordan Descoteaux, 80, managed to stay mostly dry and have a good time.

Descoteaux is a regular at the Oilmen’s Golf Tourna-ment, and has been playing at Lake Point for 35 years. For him, the seniors’ only event is a hit.

“I really like the tournament,” he said.While the regular Oilmen’s tournament features prizes

for winners, the seniors’ event is a benefit for the golf course.

“Basically what they said was at this point in their lives they don’t need, they called it a ‘toaster,’ as a present or as a gift or as a prize, so they basically said, we’ll just give all of the prize money, so to speak, back to the club.”

Last year they raised $10,000, which went towards building and improving walking bridges on the course, said Troy Knight, general manager at Lake Point.

FORT ST. JOHN – There was an acci-dent at the construction site of the old Fort St. John Hospital on Wednesday afternoon when an excavator tipped over.

No one was hurt, according to one of the workers on site.

Bystanders stopped to marvel at the un-usual site and take pictures.

“They’re lucky that nobody was standing next to it when it fell,” said Mike O’Connor, who stayed to watch as the workers at-tempted to flip it right side up.

“Who knows why it went over?” he asked. It was already on its side when he showed up.

The foreman on site refused to comment on the situation.

It was a question on many peoples’ minds.

“They either don’t know what they’re doing and they’re in a rush, or they’ve done it so many times they’re not paying atten-tion,” said one passerby who asked to re-main anonymous.

He’s been a construction worker for 15 years, and said he’d nearly flipped an ex-cavator the day before on his own job site.

“Once they slide on tracks, they’re gone. Tracks don’t re-grip,” he said.

“It doesn’t stop until the bottom, so you don’t take them up anything you don’t 100 per cent know you’re going to make. And rock is really bad, rock slides like ice, you track on rock like you track on ice.”

By 4:20 p.m. workers were still trying to get the excavator upright.

WorkSafe B.C. was on site.

FORT ST. JOHN – It’s time for local cowboys and cow-girls girls to get a little sand in their pants at the third annual Sand Sensations B.C., the only international sand sculpting exhibition in the north.

Cowboy Country is the theme of this year’s event, which takes place at Peace Island Park in Taylor, and runs from July 25 to Aug. 3, with professional carvers working on their sculptures throughout the week. This year’s five pro-fessional carvers all hold World Champion titles in sand carving.

For the first time, organizers are hosting an Amateur Challenge, which will run from July 25 to July 27, in ad-dition to the Family Challenge on Aug. 2. Registration is now open for both competitions. The professional exhibi-

tion will run from July 28 to Aug. 3. This year’s carvers are Susanne Ruseller, from the Neth-

erlands, and Dan Belcher, from the U.S., who are both new to Sand Sensations B.C. Ilya Filimontsev, from Russia, is back after participating in the first year of the event and cre-ating a larger than life sculpture of gold miners with their horse and cart.

David Ducharme, from Winlaw., B.C., has carved crowd pleasing sculptures each year and will be directing the preparations. Peter Cogelaar, who lived in Fort St. John for many years and has since become famous for his snow, ice and sand carvings, will travel again from Winlaw to inter-act with spectators and create amazing sand work.

In preparation for the profes-sional exhibition, the sculptors will have worked the previous week to prepare the sand for carv-ing.

“There’s wooden forms put down, and there’s sand, tonnes and tonnes of sand . . . they pound the sand with wa-ter and real pounders, like the cement pounders, the gravel pounders, and they do that for a whole week to build up all the forms,” said Sue Popesku, event organizer.

As they carve, from the very top, they pull off the first layer of wood and they carve that, then they move down to the second layer of wood, they carve that,” she explained.

The professional carvers will be on hand to offer advice and tips during the Family Challenge. To register, call Joc-elyn Eisert at 250-793-0272, or email her at [email protected].

Keeping the Peace, one stroke at a timeBRONWYN [email protected]

FORT ST. JOHN – “Anybody who wants Site C has no soul. They are ab-solutely black and soulless inside.”

That was the message that Ray Ea-

gle, one of the protesters at the 9th an-nual Paddle for the Peace on Sat., July 12, shared with hundreds that gathered to show their objection to the proposed Site C dam.

More than 600 participants and about 225 boats launched into the waters for the cause. A series of speeches set the

tone, including Ea-gle’s.

At 83 years old, he was one of the oldest in atten-dance. Eagle feels a close affinity for the Peace River and came from the low-er mainland specifi-cally for the event. He’s been paying close attention to the various rami-fications of Site C since 1972, when he visited friends in Hudson’s Hope.

“I crested the rise and saw the valley in front of me, and I stopped, and I just stared for several minutes at its beau-ty,” he said.

DAWSON CREEK - Inquiries from electoral area direc-tors weren’t totally satisfied during the regular board meet-ing of the Peace River Regional District on July 10, when they asked directors involved in the Northeast B.C. Re-source Municipalities Coalition more about their commit-tee and their recent discussions about Fair Share funding.

“We just want to know how it works,” said chair of the board, Karen Goodings.

Fort St. John Mayor Lori Ackerman said that the coali-tion is a group of municipalities working together to build sustainable municipalities in a very intensive resource de-veloped area.

“We will let you know as soon as we figure it out,” she said, committing to release more details to the directors as they are set.

Currently, members include Fort St. John, Dawson Creek, Taylor, Chetwynd, Tumbler Ridge, Pouce Coupe and the Northern Rockies Regional Municipality.

Ackerman, Goodings, Mayor of Dawson Creek Dale Bumstead and Mayor of Taylor Fred Jarvis met with Min-ister of Community, Sport and Cultural Development Co-ralee Oaks about Fair Share funding (and other issues) on March 31. In a letter to the March 31 meeting attendees, Oaks assured that the provincial government is committed to supporting the PRRD to prepare for the growth and eco-nomic opportunity arising from liquified natural gas devel-opment.



Electoral areas want fair discussion on funding

The Province will only pursue a joint activity if it is conducted as a partnership with all local governments in the region. This must in-clude representation from the regional district and

electoral areas.

DAWSON CREEK - The Mile Zero Cruisers celebrated their 20th Annual Sum-mer Cruise Show and Shine last weekend, July 11-13.

This year the group celebrated the 50th

anniversary of the Ford Mustang and made it a goal to attract one from every year in production.

Over 250 cars from all over the region and the province were expected to attend the event in Dawson Creek. The city’s downtown core was blocked off on Sunday, so residents could view the hot rods, clas-sic cars, motorcycles, custom and race cars.

ANNUAL GENERAL MEETINGJuly 24 - 10am-3pmPomeroy Hotel & Casino

11308 Alaska Road, Fort St. John

DAWSON CREEK - Readers and nonreaders are get-ting down to business this summer, with tons of prizes and incentives to be won during the Dawson Creek Library’s Summer Reading Club.

The annual club will once again be offering crafts, spe-cial events and the opportunity to win prizes– just for en-joying books! The club has gotten so popular that on open-ing day, July 2, children’s librarian Pam Morris said that there was a lineup of regulars ready to sign-up.

“Our regulars were lining up at the door. First thing be-fore we were open there was a lineup of kids wanting to get there first, it was great,” Morris said.

By their second day, Morris said that the club had over 200 participants register.

“For the last few years it seems to be around 500 [partici-pants] is where we top out, around 500. It’s pretty busy, it’s

pretty great,” she said. This year, the theme of the club is Funny Business. Mor-

ris said that it’s all about why the chicken crossed the road. She said their mascot this year is a chicken, and that activi-ties will have a somewhat comedic aspect to them. While the Library usually creates their own theme, this year’s comes from the BC Library Association. Through the As-sociation, the Library has been able to realise a significant cost (and time) savings.

“They supply all the public libraries with the reading re-cords and things like bookmarks and stickers and it’s all free to us. They supplied us with 540 reading records, for free,” said Morris.

Readers 14 years old and under, and want-to-be-readers (infants), will be rewarded for the first 10 books they read this summer with either a coupon for a free ice cream from Dairy Queen, a free swim at the Kenn Borek Aquatic Cen-tre, or a small stuffed animal. For every ten books they read, their own personal chicken will move to different boards and receive a sticker. For every five books read, participants will receive a ballot slip for a draw on every Friday, for a variety of prizes. Readers are also awarded with coupons for reaching two other reading landmarks.


Reading Club Special Events:

July 30: Street Festival- 2-4pm. Join us in the parking lot for tons of games, food, face-painting and a “That’s gross” obstacle course.

Parks plan Continued from Page 8.

For the Sundance Lake Regional Park, the plan recom-mends assessing whether to expand the boundary of the park on the east side of the lake to include campsites and assessing whether to install a boat launch on the lake. No capital improvements are planned for the Minaker River Regional Park, but the plan recommends improving road access and assessing dangerous tree situations, noxious weeds, gymkhana amenities and safety and liability of ex-isting amenities.

Iver Johnson Memorial Community Park, in the Hasler community, is listed as a regional park; however, it is cur-rently not being used as a park. The plan states that it is currently under review to determine its best use.

For trails, the plan suggests: supporting the creation of a regional map showing the location of all registered trails and trailheads and their intended recreation use, establish-ing a communication project that will provide opportuni-ties for user groups, and establishing partnerships in main-taining trails and trailheads. It also recommends creating an annual budget for a Recreational Trails Support Grant to

help user-groups maintain trails. The plan suggests a budget of approximately $4,290,000

over the 10 year life of the plan, and believes it could be covered by a tax rate allocation of $0.19 to $0.31 per $1,000 of assessed value on improvements only. Cost to residents would be approximately $2.80 to $4.58 on prop-erty improvements of $150,000. During a 2011 Parks and Trails Master Plan survey, 84 per cent of respondents sup-ported a tax increase of some level to provide additional funds for the regional parks and trails budget.

Work started on the plan in 2011 with a number of com-munity consultations, open houses and a survey. An ad-visory committee was formed to review the feedback, de-velop goals and objectives and identify recommendations. A draft plan was released last year for further consultation.

“This was one of the best ones [committees] that I had ever been on, mostly because of the tremendous wisdom and guidance of our staff, the consultants, and the tremen-dous input from the public, the general public,” said Parks and Trails Committee chair, Mayor Fred Jarvis.

“It’s taken a long time to put together, but it’s got a lot of credibility with the public input,” he said.

After the plan is adopted, policies and bylaws will be created and approved before implementation will begin.

Summer Reading Club Continued from Page 18.

The Library will also be offering weekly crafts and a bal-lot slip for a draw on Wednesday, registered participants just needed to have visited the Library that week for a ballot slip. Also, weekly, if readers find Beatrice the Bunny (who will be hiding in different spots in the Children’s Library throughout the summer), they will receive a small toy.

The goal of the program is to encourage kids to read during the summer months and increase literacy skills, but Morris said that she hopes it will also encourage more peo-ple to come to the Library.

“The kids, they like to read, but when they have an in-centive, then they are even more enthusiastic,” Morris said.

“I love to see new faces coming in, like introducing the library to people who may have never been here before. Reading is the biggest part of it...but just new faces in the door, who maybe have never visited the library,” she added.

The Library will also be offering a Teen Summer Chal-lenge for the second year in a row for those aged 12-18. There are 26 challenges that participants can choose to complete, for every challenge completed, participants will get a ballot to enter weekly draws for gift certificates.

“It just keeps them from being bored, if they are not go-ing anywhere or doing anything this summer, that’s some-thing that they can do. It’s really really fun, it’s nothing that feels like work or school work, it’s really fun stuff,” Morris said.

Proceeds from this year’s tournament will likely go to-wards expanding those bridges, and a possibly building a cart bridge.

Although the dollars raised from this year’s event hadn’t been calculated by press deadline, it will be significantly less than last year, as there were 40 fewer registrants. Last year there were 72 players, whereas this year there were just 32. The oldest player on course was 82.

they’re feeling.“Here is a guy who says, ‘I am a You Tuber who uses

views and videos to forget about how monotonous and shitty I feel like my life is. Yet I really don’t have it that bad. I guess I use my depression as an excuse to not make an effort and fix it,’” Feenberg said, reading off of the Face-book page.

“So that’s someone talking to himself, right? Only he’s

talking to himself in front of this imaginary audience that he, I guess, imagines gives him some kind of confirmation, gives some validity to his inner monologue.”

It has something to do with the sense that things become real for us and significant for us through sharing them by communicating with others.

Confessing online, whatever the motivation, gives peo-ple a chance to feel a situation out and see what people think.

“Social media allows you to test things. It’s the idea, well, if I say this, let’s see what the Internet says. And if the Internet thinks it’s nega-tive, well then the people who love and care for me might think it’s negative too,” said Jesse Miller, an expert on social media communities, renowned public speaker and graduate student.

“But the Internet doesn’t love and care for me, so the re-action might be a bit more harsh, whereas the family might not be as harsh with an actual confession.”

There are positives and negatives to sharing on social media, and websites like the Fort St. John confessions page can be an incredible communication tool.

“Let’s say you’re in a conservative community in the middle of the United States, and a person goes to a confes-sion page, and says, I think I’m gay. Well, in a very con-

servative community where there is zero identified people who are gay, there’s not a support network, maybe they’re using that to see is somebody else might pop up and say, hey, you’re not alone,” said Miller.

“That’s an amazing tool to have, as opposed to waving a flag where you’re hoping that somebody either acknowl-edges and says, hey it’s ok, but you’re fearful that some-body’s going to turn around and say, well we don’t want you in town.”

The Internet allows for people to communicate in different ways, and for a lot of people, just being able to say something helps them find support networks.

“There’s positives and nega-tives, and within that, if a person’s trying to find comfort in a confes-sion, maybe there’s somebody else

that turns around and says, you know, that’s not a big deal, don’t worry about it. Everybody does that.”

But there are dangers to posting online in a small town based on the verifiability and the consequence of content.

“Let’s just say you’re a person who posts something about a person that they’re infatuated with, well could that have a negative impact on the person? Of course it could. It could have a negative impact on the person’s relationship too. Of course, because the person’s spouse is like, well I think this is about you.”

Those potentials are always there.

If you’ve been reading my column from time to time, (and of course you have) it’s probably sinking in that the world energy scene is changing rapidly. Renewables are coming on strong, and for many good, solid economic reasons.

For this column I have chosen a few strong examples of the global renewable uptake: solar electricity is reaching “grid parity” around the world; investment in renewables is exceeding fossil investment across the board; and auto manufacturers are scrambling to catch up with the all-electric Tesla, now rated best car in world.

Solar reaches grid parityGrid parity means that the cost of solar

electric power is equal to or less than the regular price of electricity bought from the grid. In other words, if you put a solar array on your roof and feed power into the grid for credit or cash, over the life of the system you will pay the same or less for power than if you just bought if off the grid. Grid parity has now been reached in China, California, Chile, Australia, Turkey, Israel, Germany, Japan, Italy, Spain, Greece and Mexico. This list will quickly become longer as the price of solar continues to decrease while the cost of conventional power continues to increase.

In 1976, solar panel power cost about $75 per watt; by 2002 it had dropped to $4 per watt, and today it hovers around $1 per watt. These dramatic price drops have been driven by huge increases in solar panel pro-duction to meet what appears to be a rap-idly growing and almost limitless global

demand.Even big petrodollar countries are bet-

ting on solar. The Saudis are investing more than $100 billion in 41 GW of solar (41 bil-lion watts, or 41,000 megawatts, roughly the equivalent of 41 Site C dams), and most of the other Gulf States also have big solar plans. Worldwide, investment in solar and wind power has now outstripped invest-ment in new fossil fuel sources and nuclear plants combined. As Bloomberg New En-ergy Finance head Michael Liebreich puts it, “What we’re seeing is clean energy com-petitive with what I call alternative energy – fossil fuel energy.”

Tesla rated best carConsumer Report has declared the Tesla

Model S its car of the year, scoring the ve-hicle at 99 out of 100, higher than any of the other 259 vehicles tested. Inventor and Tes-la CEO Elon Musk not only produces the best EV (electric vehicle) the editors said, he makes the best car you can buy, period.

Tesla has also liberated all of its patents to the public domain. “It is impossible for Tesla to build electric cars fast enough to address the carbon crisis,” said Musk. Re-placing the world’s existing stock of bil-lions of fossil cars with electrics as quickly as possible will require a massive effort, one the other car manufacturers are not serious about, he says. “We believe that Tesla, other companies making electric cars, and the world would all benefit from a common, rapidly evolving technology plat-form.” Wow, this should be interesting!

For its part, GM will invest some $450

million to streamline a plant in Michigan where it assembles Chevrolet Volt and Ca-dillac EL electric vehicles, in addition to a factory that builds lithium batteries for the cars. Tesla’s stock is now trading around $237; GM’s is at $36.

Other manufacturers are also scrambling to catch up. BMW, citing brisk sales of its i3 EV, is ramping up production to 100,000 units per year by 2020. Tesla is targeting 500,000 per year by the same date.

Electric bicycles and scooters have long held a strong market share, but now Har-ley Davidson has launched a tour that will invite customers to test drive 22 new proto-type electric motorcycles in 30 cities across

the U.S. For power and acceleration, elec-tric bikes will leave fossil bikes in the dust, (electric motors go from zero to full power in a split second) but public acceptance of this “quiet bike revolution” has yet to be proven.

Meanwhile, the all-electric Drayston B12 race car has set a world record in the U.K. What does an electric race car sound like at 200 MPH? Whoooooooooosssssshhhhh!

Think of that as the sound of renewables sweeping onto the energy scene. Clean, quiet and powerful. Whooooossshhh!

POUCE COUPE - The initiative to develop a commu-nity garden in the Village of Pouce Coupe started over a year ago, but the project is continuing to grow.

Although still in the planning stages, Coun. Colleen Ev-ans said that council has committed to building the gardens and even rezoned a village-owned lot last year for the proj-ect.

During their last meeting on June 23, council received a draft work plan for the development of a conceptual design from Urban Systems.

Their plan includes the creation of a project team, a site visit and analysis, conceptual draft designs and a finalized design. They estimate the cost to complete the work plan to be $3,790. Council didn’t approve the draft plan on June 23, and instead elected to discuss it further at a fu-ture meeting.

While the report didn’t recommend a timeframe for project development, Evans said that she hopes the gar-den is up and running by next summer, but that it will depend on the number of volunteers who are willing to get involved.

“We’ve been trying to get people’s interest because we don’t want to do it, council doesn’t want to do it, the Village doesn’t want to do it. We want to be able to pro-vide the place to have a gar-

den and then have the community take over, so at this time, we’re having a hard time getting people to volunteer,” Ev-ans said.

She said that after the garden is constructed, the financial commitment from the Village shouldn’t be significant. So far, all work that’s been done has been with grant money.

“I don’t want it to be something that is going to cost the residents a whole bunch of money if they aren’t going to use it. If it’s not going to be something that’s going to be viable, and run by volunteers, then maybe it’s something that we shouldn’t do; but, I don’t want it to be something that’s a money hole. After it’s set up it shouldn’t cost any money, it should just be volunteers,” said Evans.

Raised on a farm, Evans said that she thought it would be nice for fresh vegetables and fruit to be available to those in town who wanted their own plot. She also thought that

it would be a great recreational opportunity for residents. “It brings the community together as well, and we are

missing that, disconnecting with our cell phones and inter-net and that kind of thing,” she said.

Evans said that Northern Health has even offered to do workshops on canning and making jams and jellies when the garden is finished.

“Plus we have this wonderful land that we’re not utiliz-ing... it’s by the school and you can’t have anything indus-trial. It’s a nice place to have a garden and a place that’s recreational,” she said.

“Everybody was really good at listening, and it was interesting because it’s a lot of guys that, truck drivers, etcetera, and it’s me singing feeling songs, and every-body’s listening, so it was pretty amazing.”

To promote her new al-bum she’s touring across the country, and has already per-formed in Edmonton, at As-tral Harvest, a music and arts festival near Lesser Slave Lake, Alberta, in Dawson Creek and Grande Prairie, before returning to Calgary for weekend gigs.

“We’re all here to have some fun on this great river, this amazing piece of Planet Earth,

this place that’s so much history, so many kinds of history, so many cen-turies, so many millen-nia of human lives told on this river and told by this river and contained in this river, thousands and thousands of years, right up in the time when Canada was barely under-stood, and the nation was born here, so many na-tions, and here we are to-day on the living, breath-ing edge of history being made the way it’s always been made, been made by the people who show up,” he said.

Fair Share Continued from Page 16.

She encouraged them to initiate work on their own, in-cluding all local governments in discussions.

“I encourage you to make this discussion inclusive of the region as a whole. Looking ahead to our discussions, the Province will only pursue a joint activity if it is conducted as a partnership with all local governments in the region.This must include representation from the regional district and electoral areas,” she said in her letter.

The current Memorandum of Understanding for the Fair Share agreement doesn’t expire until 2020. Oaks said that discussions about Fair Share likely wouldn’t be able to be-gin until later this year.

Chetwynd Mayor Merlin Nichols said that communica-tion between the Coalition and the board should be clear and open and that the region-al board should perhaps be involved in the Coalition in some way.

“At least as an observer, a participant in some level of this committee, so that information flows smoothly, openly, clearly, transparent-ly,” he said.

Ackerman said that the Coalition made the commit-ment to work with the PRRD on the Fair Share agreement.

Ackerman also suggested

setting a meeting so that Fort Nelson Mayor Bill Streeper could be involved in the discussion, but Goodings preferred the discussion to be referred to another board meeting and suggested that Streeper could participate via conference call.

“The intention of me bringing this forward was to have discussion at the regional board table, not at a separate meeting because we have a lot of people out there really wondering what is going on,” Goodings said.

“Whenever you’re ready to share more information let us know,” she added.

We have a lot of people out there really wondering

what is going on.

FORT ST. JOHN – A second annual soccer tournament hosted by United Way and MNP on Fri., June 20, raised $2,416 for local charities.

Players raised significantly more than last year’s total of $1,320.

“It builds community spirit and it’s fun, at the same

time we’re benefitting people in the community,” said Niki Hedges, community development and campaign officer for United Way.

Another recent and notable United Way contribution of $70,000 was raised at their annual golf tournament on Thurs., June 12, according to a press release.

Programs like All that Kids Can Be, Poverty to Possibil-ity and Better at Home at the seniors’ centre are some of the funding recipients for United Way fundraising efforts.

future, in the same way it’s been in the past.”Brian Churchill, of the Peace Valley Environmental

Association, spoke to the Joint Review Panel’s assess-ment, and expressed optimism about the future. “We got a very good environmental assessment. Those guys don’t think this should be built. They said there is rea-son not to build it . . . this is not a done deal, there is going to be no dam here, and one of these days, us and First Nations are going to celebrate the dedication of this valley for the future and forever for the enjoyment of people and the ecology,” he said.

Grand Chief Stewart Phillip took the mic to share his perspective, and was heartened at the turnout.

“As I walked in today my spirits were lifted by the number of young people that we have here with us to-day and young people, no matter how young, no mat-ter how small, they’re incredibly brilliant, they’re in-credibly perceptive, and they’re watching, and they’re listening very, very closely to what we’re doing here today,” he said.

The West Moberly first Nations, the Halfway River First Nation, the Treaty 8 First Nations, and the Peace Valley Environment Association hosted the event, which featured a pancake breakfast before the boat launch and a barbecue afterwards.
