Grade 10 students from the Energetic Learning Campus were given a tour of the Fort St. John Hospital last week, but it was not a traditional field trip.

They were there as part of the RCMP’s P.A.R.T.Y. program — which stands for Prevent Alcohol and Risk Related Trauma in Youth — where they were shown real-world consequences for risky behaviour.

“This is not to scare them, but to explain that these are the risks that you take when you do drugs or alcohol, or just take risks in general,” explained Cpl. Jodi Shelkie of the Fort St. John RCMP. This is the 10th year that the program has been running in Fort St. John. “[When a] youth has been injured I hear, ‘I never thought it could happen to me’ or, ‘I didn’t realize the outcome could be this.’ Well, we show them, this is what the outcome could be,” she said.

At times it was graphic.

Doctors and nurses explained what happens when someone is brought into the hospital. On one end is the morgue, where families would come to identify the body. If they are injured, they show them the extent to which they would need physiotherapy to recover.

A funeral director explained how difficult it is to deal with grieving families.

“Because there are a lot of emotions involved with it, it sticks with them,” said Shelkie.

Grade 10 student Nick Gauthier said he wasn’t phased by the talks, but noticed a lot of other people were affected.

“When the funeral director was talking, he was telling us to imagine if one of us died, and we had to imagine our parents mourning over us, and I think that’s what set a lot of people off,” he said.

It is a different message than the one they so often hear, said Sheklie, and it targets teenagers just as they’re getting their first drivers licenses.

“Teachers can say to them 'don’t do drugs' because this will happen; they expect police officers to say to them 'don’t do drugs' because this will happen. We’re not saying that,” she explained. “We’re saying this has happened. These nurses say from my experience, this is what I see. This is who I see in the morgue, from my experience, and this is what I’ve seen in the emergency room.”

Grace Basisty, another Grade 10 student, said the day had a profound impact on her.

“I don’t drink at all, but I’m going to be really cautious if I do ever, and avoid getting into cars with drunk drivers and not doing drugs,” she said.

And according to Shelkie, it works.

“It’s a great reaction, I use these students often the next year to promote P.A.R.T.Y. A lot of them are hesitant, saying, ‘We’re going to the hospital for the day — how boring is that going to be?’ And then afterwards they’re my greatest advocates,” she said.

She added that many of the members of the police force and doctors who contribute went through the program when they were in school, and it had a profound impact on them.

Foundation hosts radiothon David Dyck Staff Writer

The Fort St. John Hospital Foundation is hoping to raise money it needs for a new wireless fetal heart monitor.

After a 12-hour day posted up at a booth in Safeway, executive director Ashley Bent-

ley said they raised just over $14,000 of their $25,000 goal.

The heart monitor costs $36,000, and they’ll continue raising money at their next event, a poker tournament, being held at Chances Casino on March 21.

According to Bentley, this would be the hospital’s eighth wireless monitor.

“The hospital currently has wired ones which means the mom is stuck in bed, she can’t get out of bed because it connects onto her stomach and then it’s wired to the machine,” she said.

“The one we’re hoping to purchase is wireless, so she can get up, walk around the room, walk around the hallways. They’re also waterproof so she can

go into the tub as well during the labour process.

"It’s all about making moms more comfortable,” she added.

A total of 659 babies were born in the birthing centre in 2014, said Jill Earl, a public relations representative for the foundation.

“That’s a very busy birthing centre,” she said.

Does Roll Up The Rim prove Canadians have a gambling addiction?

Roll Up the Rim in and of itself isn't gambling, because gambling is taking a substantial risk to get a substantial reward. When a good honest Canadian lines up at a Tim Horton’s and plunks SUMMER OFFICE HOURS: down that Twoonie and change, they’re already a winner. They get a steaming hot cup of Canada’s underwhelming-yet-somehowMonday to Thursday favorite breakfast beverage.

8:30 am - 5 pm Whatever happens after that is all just gravy. The customer Fridays 8:30 am - 4 pm could win a car, or a snowmobile, cash or another coffee, but that Subscription rates are $40 doesn’t change the fact that you’re sipping on a pretty sub par cup per year, payable in advance. of coffee that you paid good money for.

What might constitute a gambling problem is if someone Regional Manager walked into a Tim Horton’s, paid for said coffee, and then dumped William Julian the contents into the garbage and rolled up the rim, hoping to score more than just another coffee. Then repeated that until they won Managing Editor something. It’s possible that some people do that, but that kind of Matt Lamers behavior strikes me as not typically Canadian.

Assistant Editor Some might point to a spike in coffee sales during Roll Up the Aleisha Hendry Rim season. While having the opportunity to win big might make Advertising Consultants one more inclined to go to Tim Horton’s, my point still stands: at the end of it all, win or lose, you still have that cup of coffee.

Science Matters David Suzuki

Bees matter, so restricting neonics is the right thing to do No matter how you feel about Ontario’s proposal to restrict use of neonicotinoid insecticides on corn and soybean crops, we can all agree: bees matter. But as important as bees are, there’s more at stake. Neonics are poisoning our soil and water. This problematic class of pesticides needs to be phased out globally to protect Earth’s ecosystems. By implementing restrictions now (the first in North America), Ontario will have a head start in the transition to safer alternatives.

Not surprisingly, Ontario’s proposal has drawn the ire of the pesticide industry.

Neonics have only been around for a couple of decades, but annual global

sales now top $2.6 billion.

They were initially embraced because they are less directly toxic to humans than older pesticides and are effective at low levels, reducing the volume used. They can be applied to seeds and are absorbed into the plant, which then becomes toxic to insect pests, reducing the need to spray.

We now know these characteristics are the problem.

These chemicals are nerve poisons that are toxic even at very low doses and persist in plants and the environment.

They affect the informationprocessing abilities of invertebrates, including some of our most important pollinators.

Bees have borne the brunt of our unfortunate, uncontrolled experiment with neonics. Beekeepers report unusually high bee death rates in recent years, particularly in corn-growing areas of Ontario and Quebec.

Virtually all corn and about 60 per cent of soybean seeds planted in Ontario are treated with neonics. A federal Pest Management Regulatory

Look no further than the hallowed halls of the Alaska Highway News to understand the addiction to Roll Up the Tim. One employee has registered more than ten opportunities in one week to claim Canada’s greatest prize— a free coffee from a free coffee.

Several other employees around the office routinely talk about their “stats” aka how many more losses on a roll up coffee they have than wins.

That’s the real problem with Roll Up the Rim, is it makes an already addictive substance even more appealing.

Mostly harmless sure, but there is plenty of proof that spending money everyday on a coffee could add up to a reasonable amount of savings in the long run.

Therefore alluding to an addiction.

And consider the draw of Roll Up the Rim, enticing customers to buy more of a product than they most likely need— just to hunt for a winner.

It’s not that first coffee than Tim Hortons wants you to buy with roll up anyway, it’s that second and third coffee that you find yourself wanting after the potential was so great (even though its statistically unlikely you will win).

There are plenty of worse things to be addicted to in this world, like drugs, alcohol or big ticket gambling, but in the life of a Canadian, roll up the rim pushes dangerously close to the territory of terrible addictions.

Agency investigation concluded that planting neonictreated seeds contributed to the bee die-offs.

Europe reached a similar conclusion and placed a moratorium on the use of neonics on bee-attractive crops, which took effect last year.

Critics emphasize that other factors — including climate change, habitat loss and disease — affect pollinator health. But these factors are not entirely independent; for example, chronic exposure to neonics may increase vulnerability to disease. A comprehensive pollinator health action plan should address all these factors, and scaling back the use of neonics is a good place to start.

Apart from the immediate and lethal effects on bees, neonics represent a more subtle threat to a wide range of species. The 2014 Worldwide Integrated Assessment of the Impacts of Systemic Pesticides, the most comprehensive review of the scientific literature on neonics, pointed to effects on smell and memory, reproduction, feeding behaviour,

flight and ability to fight disease. Jean‐Marc Bonmatin, one of the lead authors, summarized the conclusions: “The evidence is very clear.

We are witnessing a threat to the productivity of our natural and farmed environment equivalent to that posed by organophosphates or DDT. Far from protecting food production the use of neonics is threatening the very infrastructure which enables it, imperilling the pollinators, habitat engineers and natural pest controllers at the heart of a functioning ecosystem.”

Is there some uncertainty involved in calculating these risks?

Absolutely.

Uncertainty is at the heart of scientific inquiry. The precautionary principle requires that where there is threat of serious or irreversible harm to human health or the environment, the absence of complete scientific certainty or consensus must not be used as an excuse to delay action.

In the case of neonics, the weight of evidence clearly supports precautionary action to reduce — or even eliminate — them.

Ontario’s proposal to restrict the use of neonictreated corn and soybean seed, starting next year, is far from radical. The idea is to move away from routinely planting neonic-treated seeds and use neonics only in situations where crops are highly vulnerable to targeted pests.

The government expects this will reduce the uses of neonic-treated corn and soybean seed by 80 per cent by 2017.

It’s no surprise that the pesticide industry and its associates oppose even this modest proposal and are running expensive PR campaigns to obscure the evidence of harm. The industry’s objection to restrictions on neonics is eerily similar to big-budget advertising campaigns to create a smokescreen thick enough to delay regulatory responses to the obvious harm caused by cigarettes.

Let’s hope today’s decision-makers have a better grasp of the precautionary principle and a stronger commitment to protecting the public good, because bees really do matter.

CHARLIE LAKE CONSERVATION SOCIETY BI-WEEKLY POINT OF INTEREST

Get Ready for the Great Backyard Bird Count February 13 – 16, 2015 Last year’s bird count in the Peace Region was highly successful and involved more people that ever before. A big thank you goes out to the many participants who sent in their tallied results to the GBBC Canada website with over 2300 people in the province of BC taking part.

Since 2004, residents from the Peace Region have gone online in February to register and take part in the Great Backyard Bird Count. This annual 4 day event is for winter bird lovers from United States and Canada who take the time to record or tally the number and different species of birds spotted in their backyards, parks, pastures or fields. The year 2014 recorded the highest number of participants ever and took place in over 113 countries.

Just check out the user friendly site at www.birdcount.org. and resolve to get the entire family, or better yet, an entire classroom counting. Every participant enters online and can print the online data form to use as a guide. All involved record the number of sightings per day (suggested time 15 minutes), and then tally the number of sightings. Four day results are submitted online or may be mailed in following the count.

In the Fort St. John area, usually a dozen species are observed and recorded during the four days. This year be on the lookout for Snowy Owls, Grosbeaks, Gray and Blue Jays as well as the Common Red Polls. Although the sighting numbers of Common Red Polls have decreased in the interior of BC, the number of sightings of the Common Red Poll in the north has increased significantly. This year be on the lookout for the Hoary Red Poll.

Be a part of this year’s 2015 count to make sure that the Peace Region is once again on the map! The Great Backyard Bird Count is a great project or activity for school children, teachers, parents, social groups and grandparents to get involved in but don’t let it stop there.

With the online checklist for the Peace Region, you’ll be able to discover a hundred other species of birds that quietly visit our region, not just during our winter, but throughout the entire year.

REVIEW Team BC curling rolling at games “Get The Good Stuff” 9224-100 St., Fort St. John

785-0463

Byron Hackett Staff writer

It has been a dream start for the hometown Team BC curling at the Canada Winter Games in Prince George.

Three games and three wins started off the bonspiel on the right foot for team Tardi and Fort St. John Native Sterling Middleton.

One of those wins included a nationally broadcast game on TSN this past Sunday, in which Middleton’s team took down team Alberta 14-4.

In the second game on Sunday, team Tardi continued their dominance in the second draw beating Yukon 11-2.

On Monday the B.C. boys

were at it again, taking home a win against team New Brunswick 5-3.

Middleton and his team will curl once on Tuesday and once on Wednesday before being set up for the cross over final.

Team B.C. is currently tied at the top of group B with Nova Scotia, both of whom are undefeated after three draws.

If team BC can win their pool, it would result in a bye to the semi-finals on Thursday, Feb. 19, which will also be shown on TSN. Middleton and his team are the only curling team competing at the games that is spread out across a province and this year is the first time in which a circumstance has been allowed.

Elks Strike Gold in Saskatoon

Submitted by Fort St. John Elks Speed Skating Club

Six members of the Elks Speed Skating Club travelled to chilly Saskatoon for the Canadian Age Class Long Track Speed Skating Championship on Feb. 7-8.

As members of Team BC and skating in minus 20 temperatures the skaters braved not only cold temperatures but a headwind which caused some frostnip.

Yuna Lovell won three gold medals in the 100, 300 and 500 meters and a silver in the relay. Lovell was the Overall Canadian Championships in her age class for Team BC. This was the second overall title for Lovell who was the Canadian Champion for her age last year in Quebec.

Other skaters who were skating in their first championships had impressive showings include Joshua Telizyn who won Gold in the 100 meters and finished 4th overall in his age group.

Michele Kalkman had a strong meet and finished 6th overall. Amanda Mitchell won a silver in the team relay and finished 8th overall.

Brooke Braun skated very well and finished 8th overall.

Erin Stickel finished 15th overall and was a great role model for the younger skaters.

The Elks Club will travel next to the BC Provincial Championship for Short Track and any members selected for Team BC will finish the season in Selkirk, Manitoba for the Canadians.

BC Hydro looks local for more workers

Mike Carter Staff writer

A BC Hydro linesman walks elementary students through how the job is done. The students were attending a try-a-trade event at Northern lights College earlier this year. BC Hydro is at high schools in Chetwynd, Dawson Creek, Fort St. John and Hudson’s Hope this week, recruiting students interested in what they have to offer.

R001673985

Continued from page 5

Gammer says BC Hydro isn’t limiting their intake at the moment to any particular trade.

“We’re not being picky at this point,” he said. “We want everybody who is thinking about any kind of trade to know what we want from them.”

That includes electricians, power line technicians and protection and control technicians.

Gammer said the information sessions and the trade fair

There is still more time to apply for Personal Credits of up to $3000 for educational, language or cultural programs.

Délai prolongé pour présenter une demande de crédits personnels d’une valeur pouvant atteindre 3 000 $ pour des programmes éducationnels, linguistiques ou culturels.

Les bénéficiaires du Paiement d’expérience commune en vertu de la Convention de règlement relative aux pensionnats indiens peuvent recevoir jusqu’à 3 000 $ sous forme de crédits personnels pour des programmes ou services d’éducation.

Individuals who received a Common Experience Payment under the Indian Residential Schools Settlement Agreement are eligible for up to $3000 in Personal Credits for education programs and services.

Cela comprend des cours dans des universités, des collèges ou des écoles de métier ou de formation, ou des programmes ou ateliers fournis par des groupes communautaires ou des centres culturels qui offrent des activités liées aux langues ou à la culture autochtones. Les crédits personnels peuvent être utilisés par les bénéficiaires du Paiement d’expérience commune ou partagés avec un ou deux membres de leur famille, ou encore mis en commun dans le but d’obtenir des services d’éducation collective.

La date limite pour présenter une demande a été prolongée au 9 mars 2015. De l’aide pour remplir le formulaire d’attestation de crédits personnels est offerte.

These include courses at universities, colleges, trade or training schools or for programs and workshops provided by community-based groups or cultural centres for activities related to Aboriginal language and culture. Personal Credits can be used by a Common Experience Payment recipient, shared with up to two family members or pooled for group education services.

The deadline to apply has been extended to March 9, 2015. Help with completing the Personal Credits Acknowledgment Form is available.

itself is not tied to recruiting efforts for the Site C dam.

“I mean sure, could it provide a spin off benefit ultimately? I guess so. But this is coming locally from the regional manager of our generation facilities.”

Gammer later clarified that Site C recruiters would be present at the trade fair in Hudson’s Hope.

“They were invited to be there. There will be a booth. But as I said before, this is being driven by the regional manager of our existing facilities.”

WONOWONMonthly 4-HReport BEEF CLUB Hello reader, This month we have the McCords in the spotlight!

“My 4-H project this year is a Market Steer. My goals for this year are to have good gain on him, achieve high marks in grooming class, and to learn more about how to raise a market steer. I also hope for a good price on him so I can buy another heifer. 4-H helps me buy my heifers and breed heifers so I can learn more about agriculture.” - Justin “I am taking a Market Steer into 4-H this year. I have been in 4-H for five years now, and I am enjoying it very much. Last year I got Reserve Grand Champion Market Steer, and this year I hope to do as well or better. I hope I do well in Grooming this year too. I am very glad to be in 4-H and I also want to send a thanks to all of the BUYERS that have have come for so many years to support all of the 4-H clubs in and around Fort St. John.”- Ben “My projects this year are a Market steer and a cow/calf pair. My main goal is to do well in grooming and to have a high priced steer. The money I get from 4-H helps me to get more heifers and expand my own little herd. I appreciate the 4-H agriculture projects teaching me more about farming.” - Michaela We had our Club Communications this month.

Last Week: Brandt Snedeker won at Pebble Beach

?

Answer: a) Snedeker has not won a major championship, but has finished T3 in the Masters and the Open Championship.

Tiger Woods announced last week that he is taking a break from the PGA Tour and won’t return until his game is “tournament-ready.”

“My play, and scores, are not acceptable for tournament golf,” he wrote in a statement on his website. “Like I’ve said, I enter a tournament to compete at the highest level, and when I think I’m ready, I’ll be back.” Woods said that the injury that forced him to withdraw from the tournament at Torrey Pines is not related to the back surgery that he had last spring. He says he is receiving physical therapy daily and “feeling better.” He plans to practice this week at his home course in South Florida and will reevaluate his game.

Lessons from the Golf Pro One of the most difficult things for the amateur golfer to adjust to is the long putt on the green. Long putting is a skill that is rarely practiced and, consequently, whenever we have a very long putt to attempt, the end result is usually not what we want. Most amatuers faced with a long putt automatically go into the thought process that they need to smack the ball to get it to the hole. This thinking pattern will get you a three-putt more times than not. When you try to kill the putt, all of the motion in your putting stroke comes from the wrist. The ball usually pops up off the ground and there is little to no chance for success. A long putting stroke needs to be generated by the shoulders with nothing to do with your wrists.

Racing News

The Daytona 500 is widely considered to be NASCAR’s most important and prestigious race. It’s NASCAR’s Super Bowl and is the race every driver dreams of winning. The Daytona International Speedway is the most famous track in NASCAR racing mostly because Daytona Beach is where NASCAR began. Some of the most legendary drivers in the world have won the event, including Richard Petty, a record seven times, Cale Yarborough, and even Indy 500 winners Mario Andretti and A.J. Foyt. Dale Earnhardt Jr. won his second Daytona 500 last year, breaking a 55 race winless streak.

Jeff Gordon won the pole for Daytona 500 In his final Daytona 500, Jeff Gordon claimed the pole in the first-ever group qualifying session for NASCAR’s biggest race of the season. “That feels good.

That’s awesome,” Gordon said. Gordon and Hendrick Motorsports teammate Johnson locked down the front row in Sunday’s qualifying session, which was done in knockout rounds for the first time in 57 years. Gordon qualified at 201.293 miles per hour, the first time the Daytona 500 pole speed was above 200 mph since Bill Elliott’s record run of 210.364 mph in 1987. “This is one of the more gratifying poles here at Daytona that I’ve ever had, not just because it’s my final Daytona 500, but because you’ve got to try and plan it out and play that chess match and play it really, really well,” Gordon said. Jimmie Johnson qualifying time was only .035 seconds slower than Gordon’s. Sunday’s qualifying determined only the front row for

the Daytona 500. Starting positions 3-43 will be determined in Thursday night’s Budweiser Duel at Daytona qualifying races. The top-15 finishers in each Duel will be locked into positions 3-32 in the Daytona 500 field. Positions 33-36 will go to the four cars that were fastest in qualifying but failed to race their way in via the Duels. Positions 37-42 will be based on owner points from last year. Position 43 will go to a past NASCAR Sprint Cup Series champion who otherwise failed to qualify. If that slot is not needed, it will be awarded via owner points.

c) 2 d) 3

Answer : c) Kenseth won the Daytona 500 in 2009 and 2012.

Track Details Distance: 2.5 miles Shape: Tri-Oval Banking/Turns: 31 degrees

Last Weekend’s Race: Matt Kenseth won the Sprint Unlimited Sprint Unlimited Top Ten Driver Winnings 1. Matt Kenseth $198,475 2. Martin Truex Jr. $84.475 3. Carl Edwards $44,450 4. Casey Mears $38,450 5. Kyle Larson $37,450 6. Joey Logano $35,450 7. Jeff Gordon $34,950 8. Kyle Busch $32,950 9. Dale Earnhardt Jr. $30,950 10. Danica Patrick $29,450

Matt Kenseth finally accomplished what he couldn’t do all last season - win a race. Martin Truex Jr., was the runnerup in Saturday night’s 75-lap Sprint Unlimited exhibition race at Daytona International Speedway. He also did what he was able to do only once in 2014 - lead a lap. Coming to the finish line on the last lap, Kenseth blocked Truex’s move off Turn 4 and crossed the finish line in his No. 20 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota .219 seconds ahead of Truex.

Truex led four times for 28 laps after leading just one lap in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series all of last year. The victory was Kenseth’s first in the non-points race, but it was the second straight win for Joe Gibbs Racing.
