Caring for the community

THIS WEEK'S FLYERS:

Days of Caring is a joint effort between the United Way and businesses in Fort St. John Latest initiative had Progress employees help out at the Community Gardens William Stodalka

Alaska Highway News

The United Way is enjoying more success with its Day of Caring charity initiatives in Fort St. John than in other places, according to its Northeast coordinator.

“It’s really, really taken off in the last fourand-a-half years since I’ve been with the United Way,” said Niki Hedges, the charity’s campaign development coordinator for the Northeast B.C. region. “Fort St. John just has this wonderful unique ability to jump on

Eye Injuries

Dr. Justin Sewell

Rivers Animal Hospital

Eyes are a very delicate organ, and in some breeds they are not that well protected. Dogs have been bred for appearance, and in many breeds that desired appearance includes large “puppy-dog” eyes.

These large protruding eyes are susceptible to abrasions, punctures and a condition called proptosis.

Proptosis, seen commonly in the Shih-tzu (seen commonly in Fort St. John), is where the globe or “eye-ball” protrudes out of the socket.

Trauma is usually the cause. Tension on the nerve connected to the eye can be devastating for future vision, as can the dryness that results from not being covered by the eye-lids. This is a condition that is an emergency, day or night. Do

not try to push the globe back in. Keep the eye wet and call your veterinarian.

Proptosis is one of the more severe eye problems we see, but no problem should be neglected.

Most commonly we see simple bacterial infections and scratches to the eye. These problems, though minor if dealt with quickly, can progress rapidly and cause loss of a functional eye. Any scar tissue that forms on the otherwise transparent cornea will cloud or even obstruct vision. We need to minimize trauma and scarring and promote healing as quickly as possible. So if you see any squinting, redness, clouding or discharge from the eye deal with it right away.

A veterinarian needs to be involved in these ones; keeping an eye on it just won’t work.

Nausea and vomiting during pregnancy

Up to 90% of pregnant women experience nausea and vomiting during pregnancy.

Symptoms usually start around the 6th week of pregnancy and stop around the 12th week.

Some women however, will continue to experience nausea and vomiting throughout their entire pregnancy. Contrary to popular belief, nausea and vomiting can occur at any point during the day, not only in the morning.

Causes The exact cause of this ailment is unknown.

Many believe that it is triggered, at least in part, by hormonal changes that occur during pregnancy.

Although symptoms interfere with daily activities (family, professional and social activities), nausea and vomiting do not, generally speaking, harm the fetus or the mother. Nausea and vomiting are more common in first-time mothers, teenagers and women who are overweight.

Prevention Taking multivitamins before becoming pregnant appears to reduce the risk of suffering from this ailment. However, the iron contained in multivitamins may worsen symptoms in some women.

Although there are no guarantees, certain lifestyle strategies may help reduce symptoms: • Before getting out of bed in the morning, eat a few crackers or some bread • Wait 15 minutes before getting out of bed and get up slowly • Eat small meals or snack often so your stomach is never empty • Avoid strong odours - the smell of lemon and ginger is said to alleviate symptoms • Avoid spicy and fatty foods • Rest, since fatigue worsens symptoms • Get some fresh air and avoid heat

• Eat what you feel like eating and eat when you are hungry • Avoid drinking while eating Treatment Although meditation, hypnosis, acupuncture and acupressure (wristbands that apply pressure to the wrist) are harmless, their effectiveness has not been scientifically proven.

In Canada, safe and effective medication is available to treat nausea and vomiting during pregnancy. It is recommended that you seek treatment for nausea and vomiting as soon as possible to avoid complications. That said, do not hesitate to consult your healthcare provider for a prescription.

What to be aware of When nausea and vomiting affect you to the point where you are skipping meals day after day, if you cannot tolerate any food or drink, if you are losing weight or feel dehydrated, it is important that you consult with your healthcare provider as soon as possible.

If nausea and vomiting only appear after the 9th week of pregnancy, or if it is accompanied by headaches, abdominal pain or fever, consult your doctor. It is likely that your nausea and vomiting are not related to your pregnancy.

There is no reason for you to feel alone, ask for help and support from family members and loved ones. Also, do not hesitate to consult your healthcare provider to talk about treatment that will help relieve your symptoms and allow you to enjoy your pregnancy.

Hydro's Old Fort meeting doesn't go well

Alaska Highway News

BC Hydro is in hot water with a group of local property owners.

Peace Region resident Jared Giesbrecht said he has contacted a lawyer because of the impacts Old Fort Road residents would face during construction of the Site C dam.

“It’s in the works right now, and we’re hoping to move ahead pretty quick,” said Giesbrecht. “The interest is there, it’s just a matter of getting the logistics, contributions and getting the finances together and getting it all lined up.”

The province has said it plans to move forward with the dam as soon as relevant permits are granted, which will be located 7 kilometres from Fort St. John.

If construction goes ahead despite legal challenges, about 50

homes located along Old Fort Road would be impacted.

“During the construction phase there will be a massive workers camp parked just around the corner from our neighbourhood,” said Giesbrecht. “The traffic, dust, smoke and noise will make life in the Old Fort extremely unpleasant.”

The dam is currently facing multiple legal challenges.

Giesbrecht said Old Fort residents are displeased because they will not receive financial compensation for impacts on their community.

BC Hydro held a meeting with Old Fort residents last Tuesday.

Giesbrecht and other residents had attempted get the meeting with BC Hydro for years.

It was the first time BC Hydro sat down with Old Fort community members to talk about the dam's construction since the project was proposed in 2008.

When asked about mitigation

measures for the homeowners, Dave Conway, BC Hydro spokesman for Site C, said that Hydro has already committed to some measures. “[At earlier meetings, Old Fort residents] told us they were concerned about things like traffic volume, the narrowness of the road,” he said. “We’re upgrading 12 kilometres of road to a higher standard.”

Conway also said they will add a shoulder to the road, and will restrict operations during school bus hours.

“We’re avoiding construction delays during peak hour periods,” he added.

When asked about the possibility of a siren to warn of a dam breach, Conway said they are still looking at dam safety management plans, and those would need to be approved by local governments. “[A siren is] something we would look at, absolutely.”

Nonetheless, Giesbrecht says the steps BC Hyrdo have taken so far at addressing the concerns of the community aren't enough.

“We can’t get BC Hydro to care about the harm to us, never mind take any tangible steps to mitigate or compensate for our loss,” he said.

“We couldn’t even get a committal on a siren to warn us if there’s a breach.”

Should the governments step in to make housing more affordable?

Cities and governments have collaborated on affordable housing projects for years. Some successfully, some not.

The ones that haven’t been successful are usually badly managed and badly thought out to begin with. Is that a case for doing away with them altogether?

The City of Toronto has run a successful affordable housing program in partnership with both the provincial and federal governments for over 60 years.

The city is better for it.

But isn't the provision of fordable housing a provincial and municipal issue? Why is the federal government involved?

Mobility is at an all time high. Part of a successful transition is finding an affordable place to live.

The federal government has a responsibility to this group of migrating workers moving predominantly from east to west because of opportunity. But there is another demographic: young families. A lot of whom would rather stay in the city than build a house on an acreage outside of town.

Then you have the unique situation in northern Alberta and British Columbia resource towns, where prices are high because people who work in lucrative resource jobs can afford to pay ridiculous rent rates — pricing the average person out of the market.

So yes, the feds have a role to play — but I'm not sure exactly what it is. Let's hope they're working on it.

Science Matters David Suzuki

On World Oceans Day let’s learn to treat the seas better June 8 is World Oceans Day. In Canada, it’s a time to celebrate the rich marine life in three great oceans off the longest coastline of any nation — trillions of plankton, billions of fish, millions of seabirds, thousands of whales and myriad other creatures great and small.

Yet, we have little to celebrate when it comes to looking after this natural legacy. Although the federal government has committed to protect 10 per cent of our oceans by 2020, it has so far protected just one per cent.

Canada passed the Oceans Act 18 years ago, with a promise to safeguard our oceans and coastal ecosystems. It took another eight years to prioritize five

large ocean management areas: the Beaufort Sea, the Gulf of St. Lawrence, the North Pacific Coast, the Eastern Scotian Shelf and Placentia Bay/Grand Banks. The process has languished and we’re now 10 years behind schedule and contending with escalating demands for ocean uses, impacts from climate change and emerging issues such as ocean acidification and plastics pollution.

Marine planning, conservation and protection have never been more important.

Energy development, shipping, fishing, conservation and ecotourism are bumping up against each other with no clear direction. This lack of coordination is like allowing a city to grow without zoning or planning, with schools built next to highways and industrial areas, residential neighbourhoods developed with no green spaces and first responders unable to get to those in need.

In the absence of federal leadership on marine planning and conservation, other levels of government have stepped in to take the

Johnny Wakefield

As someone who moved from a $650 basement suite in East Vancouver to a $700 apartment in the oilpatch, I have been so thoroughly been beaten down by rental markets I don't know what to believe anymore.

Should the government step in to make housing more affordable?

Probably not. Rent controls, essentially a limit on what landlords can charge a tenant, have at best been a mixed bag. In some cities, rent controls have killed any incentive to build new housing stock, leading to crumbling buildings and a bottle neck in supply that makes housing more difficult to find.

Not that the free market argument about affordability is much better. In Vancouver, the argument has always been that supply will bring down prices. Like pretty much every West Coast city, Vancouver has a limited foot print on which to sprawl. Smart cities have densified. But somehow, despite cramming more people into more glass boxes, prices have only gone up. Anger over this state of affairs boiled over again last month, with people calling on the province to somehow curb foreign investment.

In both cases, the cure is probably worse than the disease. There are very few governments I would trust to effectively implement rent controls or any sort of limit on foreign speculation. So this is where this world-weary 24-year-old admits to having no new ideas on solving housing affordability. Sorry, guys.

lead — just as they have with climate change commitments.

On B.C.’s Pacific North Coast, marine planning has moved ahead without the federal government, which dropped out of the planning process in 2011. Even without national representation, the results are encouraging.

Eighteen coastal First Nations and the province of B.C. have come up with their own plans for coastal ecosystems.

Communities in this region have been defined by their relationship to the marine environment. With competing claims for ocean use and proposals to dramatically increase shipping traffic for oil and gas exports to Asia, these marine plans chart a course through challenging waters.

Good public consultation and planning can help avoid expensive and disruptive conflicts that arise with so many interests competing for marine resources. These plans also provide meaningful engagement for industry and government with First Nations, a requirement highlighted in

the Tsilhqot’in First Nations Supreme Court decision last June.

B.C.’s coastal communities are leading the way in our country’s ocean planning. I’m happy to honour my relationship with 12 of those communities by embarking on a tour in June to talk about the many issues coastal communities are facing, including climate change. We can see its effects along the coast: shellfish die-offs, low snow packs affecting salmon runs, rising sea levels and altered growing seasons.

These communities depend on healthy oceans for their cultural, social and economic needs and are searching for solutions. Ian Mauro, an award-winning community-based researcher and filmmaker who has also documented climate change in Atlantic Canada and from an Inuit perspective, is joining the tour with a new film that features climate change’s impact on West Coast communities.

Oceans produce half the oxygen we breathe and absorb a third of carbon dioxide emissions. If that

weren’t reason enough to protect them, there’s also a strong business case.

According to a WWF report, oceans provide an annual economic value of at least $24 trillion. In Canada’s Great Bear Sea, ecosystem services are estimated to provide $101 billion in annual benefits to local communities. Tourists pay to experience a clean, healthy ocean with an abundance of life, and marine recreation is projected to be among the fastest-growing sectors in B.C.’s economy for the next 20 years.

Marine wildlife and resources are rapidly declining around the world, and our oceans are changing faster than ever, endangering this economic engine and the security and livelihoods it supports. But our oceans are bigger and longer-lasting than any economic system. Canadians love their oceans and want their abundantly rich ecosystems to get the care they deserve. This World Oceans Day, let’s honour our coastal waters and all the creatures that depend on them — including ourselves.

Iris Wenger 4-H Reporter

Oh the joys of judging! Actually, a state of panic followed by the joy of being done.

In case you are new to 4-H, Judging is where you are given four items or animals to judge. You rank them in order of best to poorest and then explain why you placed them that way. You are judging the class by the quality of what is before you according to the class title. For example, in Beef you would judge a class of market steers differently than a class of replacement heifers.

So at the sound of the horn, we were off! There was Rabbit, Sheep, Swine, Beef, Photography and Identification.

If you were a senior you also had to do an oral report. An oral report is when you judge a class without writing anything down. You have a minute to evaluate the class and then you tell the judge your reasons for how you placed that class. Usually this is done with a class about a project you are doing. For example, if you were in Swine you would do your oral report on market hogs.

Thankfully, after we were all done judging we could relax while the adults did the hard work of marking and tallying our score sheets. Some of us just sat down and talked, while most of the club went swimming in Bergen’s pond. A few of the newer members learned an important lesson: no matter how warm they say it is, the water will always be cold. A group of adults talked and kept watch over everyone, but no one got hurt and it was a lot of fun.

After all that running around and the stress of judging, we were ready to eat! Before we said the 4-H grace the leaders led us around the ID table and told us what everything was. Then we received our ribbons for 1st, 2nd and 3rd. After supper we helped clean up and then started home, ready for the district judging rally on June 6th.

Thank You to Smith Fuel Services for sponsoring this page!

straight championship flight victory.

McNee, now the general manager of M & M Resources cruised over the three-day tournament, which included an 18-hole 2&1 win in the final match over Warren Haugan.

“Got lucky again,” McNee said with a laugh after his round about how he was able to secure his third straight win.

“I don’t play a whole lot, I don’t practice a whole lot but when I come back here it’s kind of lucky.”

Whether it was luck or not, McNee still had to win five matches over 54 holes to be crowned the champion.

This year the tournament featured 272 golfers and 17 flights, down from the usual 300 plus golfers of past years likely because of the downturn in the economy.

Despite the slightly lower turnout, chairman of the Oilmen’s Golf Tournament Lee Hartman said the three-day event was a success and a good time for all involved.

“Really good,” Hartman said. “The weather was fantastic, committee members went above and beyond the call of duty and I think everybody had fun.”

Ultimately, having fun and coming together with old friends is what has kept the now three-time champion returning year after year.

“This golf tournament means the world to me,” McNee said. “I grew up living out here and I worked at the golf course. The atmosphere, it’s the golf course. The people.

The people especially, I come back here and I see people I

haven’t seen in an entire year and it’s like I’m taking to my best friend.”

Ted Pimm, general manager and CFO of Pimm's Production Equipment and 16-year member of the petroleum association added that in a tournament like the oilmen’s, building relationships often comes ahead of the golf.

“Camaraderie,” Pimm explained as a major factor for the people continuing to come out to the tournament.

“It’s all the guys who work in the oil industry and this is sort of the down time. So guys get a chance to mingle with other guys and network a little bit.”

The event also finished off with a dinner and a dance featuring Liquid Blue on Saturday night, a band from San Diego that played at the tournaments fiftieth annual event.

Hartman added that the 22- person organizing committee deserved a ton of credit for putting on the event, and once again Lakepoint was the perfect venue for the tournament.

“The course was in great shape, Lakepoint did a great job in hosting it for sure,” said.

McNee expanded the praise for his once home course, and where the oilmen’s tournament has been played every year since it began.

“Once you got the ball on the green they were absolutely phenomenal,” he said. “Kudos to the grounds crew and the golf course. [The greens] were perfect.”

CHARLIE LAKE CONSERVATION SOCIETY BI-WEEKLY POINT OF INTEREST

Gull-able Guests Gull darn it - those seagulls are a menace in the summertime! Most often seen in large, noisy flocks congregating wherever food is available, gulls are best known for being intrusive scavengers. They can always be found around fishing boats, picnic grounds, parking lots and garbage dumps pecking at everything we want to avoid!

Gulls belong to the large family named Larus. The word Larus is from the Greek word meaning “ravenous sea bird.” There are at least twenty-eight types of gull species found in North America and five of those species are found right at Charlie Lake. Although most people consider the gull to be a nuisance, almost all species actually help by hunting around our lakes and marshes for pesky insects, spiders, small fish and berries.

TREE SERVICE Len’s Tree Service Ltd.

All gulls prefer to winter further south but by early May, Franklin’s Gull arrives eager to gobble up earthworms and other invertebrates stirred up by the farmer’s cultivator. The Franklin Gull builds its nests along marshes and lakes amongst rushes, cattails and natural grasses.

Loud squawking and squealing announces the arrival of the Bonaparte’s Gull to Charlie Lake in June. This small gull is 45cm in length and has a dark head, white neck, gray body and wings - with its most noticeable characteristic being its bright orange feet. During breeding season, it eats insects that it catches in the air or plucks from vegetation or from the surface of the water.

It is the only gull in this area that prefers to nest around the lakeshore above ground in fir or spruce trees.

July is the month you’ll discover additional gulls at Charlie Lake but you’ll need a pair of binoculars to make a distinction. The Ring-billed Gull has a yellow bill with a black ring near the tip – hence the name - and is also about 45cm in length. These gulls will eat almost anything and will forage or fight for their food while in flight, swimming or walking.

The sociable Herring Gull prefers to nest in colonies and usually at ground level. Larger than other gulls, the adult body length is roughly 60cm with wingtips that are gray with black and white spots. Herring Gulls feed mostly on fish.

The last gull to visit Charlie Lake is Sabine’s Gull and it feeds mostly on insects and aquatic insect larvae. The sightings on Charlie Lake are rare but do occur in late June, September or October while the gulls are on their migratory route to and from the Arctic.

So, gull darn it…don’t worry about being bothered by pesky insects and grab your binoculars to check out the various gulls at Charlie Lake today!

?

Lessons from the Golf Pro One of the biggest weaknesses that the amateur golfer has is the tendency to get very tentative when it comes to putting. We try to hit the putt so perfect that we are looking for it to “die” as it reaches the hole. This is a good strategy on long putts where you want to lag them near the hole, but we do it too many times on the short putts. You need to have the reverse mindset and try to slam the putt into the hole. The area within a couple feet of the hole is where everybody walks during their round. As a result, there is a greater likelihood of having more spike marks in place to knock putts off-line. Therefore, you need to put enough authority into the short putts to make sure you keep the line. Even if you go past the hole more than a few times, this is a better way to make more putts in the future.
