SD 60 enrolment still booming

William Stodalka

Alaska Highway News

Early enrolment numbers suggest School District 60 will see more than two per cent more students this year than it did last year.

These numbers could change when the final school enrolment numbers are released, but for School District 60 superintendent Dave Sloan, it's evidence that his school district growth won't be temporary.

"The region used to have a boom and a bust cycle," he said. "We don't think we're in that cycle anymore. It's a cycle of continuous growth."

Sloan said early enrolment numbers showed 130 to 140 more students across his district, up from more than 6,000 students the district saw last school year.

Charlie Lake Elementary is taking in much of this growth, and Sloan said it is now much larger than other elementary schools in Fort St. John.

Charlie Lake Principal Charmaine Chretien said the school has already had to add another classroom to the school.

Last June, Charlie Lake had 16 classrooms of varying sizes, from 22 to 30 students. This September, with the extra classroom, there are just over 410 students.

The school has added a portable classroom to accommodate the extra students.

Irvin "We are quite fortunate that Tang we had a portable that was used (for an) art room and a prep room; also be present. The perianal area becomes itchy because that is where the female worm deposits we've turned that into a classroom." her eggs.

the anus and collect a sample of the worms and eggs by placing tape, with the sticky side out, on a tongue depressor, for example. Press the skin around the anus using the tongue depressor then fold the tape over on itself. The sample can be brought to the doctor who will then be able to identify the worm under the microscope. Worms can also be seen in stool.

Treatment To get rid of pinworms, you need to take 2 doses of the prescribed medicine, 2 weeks apart. The 2 doses are necessary because the drug only kills adult worms and the larvae take 2 weeks to mature into adulthood. Family members and those who have been in close contact with the affected individual must also be treated to prevent reinfection.

Itchiness around the anal area may be relieved by applying petroleum jelly (Vaseline) or other medicated creams or ointments.

Transmission Pinworms spread through the direct transfer of eggs from anus to mouth. This happens when people eat food that has been contaminated by an infected individual who handles food without first washing his or her hands! Good hygiene is essential to preventing reinfection: keep nails short and clean, wash hands frequently, especially after using the toilet, change underwear daily, and do not scratch the perianal area. Pinworm eggs can survive outside the body for as long as three weeks at room temperature. It is therefore important to wash all bedding, clothing and toys in order to kill all the eggs.

Additionally, children should wear closed sleeping garments (one piece pajamas) or tight fitting underwear when sleeping to prevent contact between hands and eggs.

Families have moved here from Fort Nelson seeking employment, due to changing economic conditions in that community, Sloan added.

Worms that inhabit one or several human organs, impairing their functioning, are known as parasites. They are a widespread medical problem; an estimated 1/3 of the world’s population is host to one type of parasitic worm or another. Infestations are more common and serious in developing countries where sanitary conditions are poor and therapies inaccessible to most people. Each parasitic worm species has its own characteristics and preferred target organs. In Canada, the most common parasitic worms reside in the intestine. They are: • Pinworms (Enterobius): they are the most common parasitic worm infections in Canada (see below).

• Roundworms (Ascaris): inhabit the small intestine and are transmitted through contact with contaminated soil or foods. The larvae migrate into the lungs, causing a cough.

• Hookworms (Ankylostoma): inhabit the small intestine and are transmitted through contact with contaminated soil or foods. They penetrate the skin and may cause itching. The larvae migrate into the lungs causing a cough.

• Whipworms (Trichuriss): are transmitted by ingestion of infested raw pork. Symptoms include vomiting, shivering, and fever. The larvae hide in human muscles, causing muscle pain and inflammation of the lungs and myocardium (the muscle that envelops the heart). They can also affect the nerves. Corticosteroids and anthelmintic drugs are used for treatment.

• Tapeworms (Taenia): are renowned for their length: they can grow up to 4 to 12 metres long! They reside in the small intestine. Humans get tapeworms by eating infected raw beef or pork or raw freshwater fish. Symptoms include loss of appetite, diarrhea, and sometimes weight loss. Taenia tapeworms can be eliminated with a single dose of the appropriate drug.

Only a physician can diagnose these worm infestations with a thorough medical history and laboratory analysis. Once the correct diagnosis is made, therapy is usually highly effective and easily tolerated.

Pinworms Canada’s most common parasitic infestation, enterobiasis, mainly affects school-age children.

Pinworms inhabit the large intestine. Scratching the perianal area (especially at night), restless sleep, irritability and inability to stay in place are telltale symptoms of a pinworm infection. Abdominal pain, loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea may

BLOCK PARTY FIRES UP THE CROWDS

despite the rain William Stodalka

Alaska Highway News

A dousing of early morning rain wasn’t enough to deter the crowds that packed downtown Fort St. John for the third annual Moose FM Block Party on Saturday.

Hundreds took to the streets to take in a magic show, sample local food, participate in a variety of children’s activities, and watch live music, along 100th Street.

Adam Reaburn, owner and station manager of Moose FM, was pleased with the day's turnout.

“We believe strongly in the community of Fort St. John and that’s what (the block party’s) all about,” Reaburn said.

“People talk all the time that there’s nothing to do in Fort St. John. That’s not true. We want to be a big part of the community, and this is one way of showing it.”

Should celebrities have influence over wildlife management?

Celebrities should absolutely NOT have influence over wildlife management. They simply don’t have the necessary background of an average human existence to have a say in the matter.

Think about it: celebrities are supposed to look good, and be talented at singing or acting. Because everyone knows who they are, their sense of humanity is distorted. Their egos become inflated, and they do ridiculous things with their money. I’m pretty sure most of them wear real animal fur, for starters. Plus, just look at how they spend their money!

Did you know that Lady Gaga bought a $50,000 ghost detection machine?

And Nicolas Cage once bought a $276,000 dinosaur skull. If these people truly cared about wildlife management, they would be supporting natural habitats and working to restore the populations of endangered animals.

Instead, what are they doing? Buying golden bathtubs, and fleets of cars for themselves. Or worse, buying wildlife, like Mike Tyson, who once bought two white Bengal tigers.

Clearly, celebrities are different: they’re greedy. Their perspectives simply do not align with that of mainstream society. While Miley Cyrus’s call for an end to B.C.’s wolf cull may seem well intentioned, we shouldn’t let ourselves be deceived. She could be planning to swoop in and take all the wolves for herself, either to keep them and raise wolf pups in her mansion or kill them and re-vamp her wardrobe. So let’s get real here. Celebrities should stick to what they’re good at: looking good, and singing.

Science Matters David Suzuki

Vote for a better, cleaner Canada

No matter what anyone says during this long federal election campaign, climate change is the biggest threat to Canadians’ health, security and economy. The scientific evidence is incontrovertible, the research wide-ranging and overwhelming.

Wastefully burning fossil fuels at such a rapid rate is jeopardizing the planet’s lifesupport systems — harming human health, destroying landscapes and habitat, causing widespread extreme weather events and contributing less to the economy and job-creation than clean energy development. Not only that, our rate of using and exporting these fuels means reserves will be depleted before long. In the meantime, as easily accessible sources run out, fossil fuels have

become more difficult, dangerous, expensive and environmentally damaging to exploit.

Canada has a long history of extracting and exporting raw resources to fuel its economy. But that’s no longer a sensible long-term plan, especially with non-renewable resources. It’s incomprehensible that a country with such a diverse, educated, innovative and caring population can’t get beyond this outdated way of doing things.

The recent oil price plunge illustrates the folly of putting all our eggs in one fossil fuel basket.

As world leaders prepare for the December UN climate summit in Paris, we need our government to play a responsible, constructive role.

Canada has been chastised at previous summits for obstructing progress and working to water down agreements. The summit’s goal is for all the world’s countries to reach a legally binding pact on climate change and greenhouse gas emissions to keep global average temperatures from rising more than 2 C, the threshold beyond which experts and world

Johnny Wakefield

I for one welcome Ms. Cyrus's input on the B.C. wolf cull. If we play our cards right, Ms. Cyrus might even attend a Site C protest.

Some might say the former Hannah Montana star (that's what she was in, right?) is simply meddling in affairs she does not understand. Perhaps, these observers might suggest, Ms. Cyrus ought confine herself to rhythmically shaking her bum for the teenaged set. I disagree. I'm confident Ms. Cyrus is as qualified anyone to discuss the complex interaction between resource development and northern caribou populations. Ms. Cyrus has no doubt studied the submissions in the Blueberry River First Nation's cumulative impacts lawsuit, a potentially precedent-setting piece of jurisprudence. She is, of course, familiar, like any responsible observer, with the report of the Site C joint review panel and its recommendations vis-á-vis ungulate populations and predation. Her Instagram post, if anything, revealed a depth of understanding of the myriad issues facing wolf populations in this part of the world.

When it comes to cumulative impacts of resource development, we're all just making it up as we go along. Ms. Cyrus has, in her wisdom, elevated the debate.

leaders agree could bring catastrophic consequences.

The consequences are already severe and will get worse if we don’t act.

Increasing extreme weather, including heat waves, floods, droughts and storms put lives, agriculture and economies at risk. Subsequent conflicts over resources reduce global security and exacerbate refugee problems. Pollution from burning fossil fuels increases heart disease and respiratory illnesses, including asthma.

Deep-sea drilling, oil sands mining and mountaintop removal destroy the ecosystems, habitat, wildlife and natural capital on which our health and survival depend.

Everyone seeking election must get serious about the climate, so no matter which party or parties form government after October 19, Canada will be part of the solution.

Continuing with business as usual will only ensure more extreme weather leading to floods and droughts; negative health impacts, including increases in premature deaths; harm to food production and security; more pipeline, rail and marine acci-

dents; and missed opportunities to diversify the economy.

Although climate change, resource development and infrastructure have been raised in this election, the talking points don’t always match the severity of the problem. It’s up to all of us as voters to question candidates and inform ourselves about the various party platforms before casting ballots — and to make sure all the parties and their candidates listen and make climate change a priority.

Canada is a great country, an example to the world of how people with diverse views, backgrounds and cultures can live well together and take care of each other.

We are blessed with spectacular nature, abundant clean water, fertile agricultural land, rich resources, an educated populace, vibrant democratic traditions and strong social programs. But we can’t take any of it for granted. We must protect what we have and strive to be better, to move beyond our outdated ways of thinking and acting.

There are numerous election issues that can’t be ignored, including health,

child care, jobs and the economy, infrastructure, education, international trade and relations, and our global responsibility to confront terrorism. Addressing climate change by shifting from the short-term prospects of the polluting fossil fuel economy to a more stable, healthy, green economy would go a long way to reducing healthcare costs, creating jobs, diversifying the economy and improving our international reputation.

We have an important choice, as voters and as a country. We can heed the scientists, health-care specialists, religious leaders, politicians, international organizations, business people and citizens around the world who say we no longer have time to lose when it comes to protecting the climate and ourselves. Or we can carry on as if nothing is wrong, and live with the mounting consequences.

Exercising your democratic right as a voter is a critical step.

CHARLIE LAKE CONSERVATION SOCIETY BI-WEEKLY POINT OF INTEREST

Check Your Sewage Treatment System in September A properly maintained sewage treatment system can provide a service life of 20 years or longer. Your sewage system provides an effective means for domestic wastewater, provided the system is properly designed, located, constructed and maintained.

Domestic wastewater contains large quantities of organic and inorganic pollutants can seriously affect public health and water resources. For Home owners, the contaminants that cause the greatest concern are nutrients (nitrogen and phosphorous) and disease-causing organisms (bacteria, viruses and parasites).

Giving your treatment system a check-up every spring and fall is a great habit to get into, and one that might just save you from replacing your system in January!

You can optimize the performance and service life of your system if you follow this simple guideline. Make sure that your septic tank is pumped out once every 1 to 3 years. Once the amount of solids in your tank becomes excessive, they will discharge into the field system and contaminate or clog the soil.

There’s no need to use septic tank additives. Sewage systems rely on natural processes to treat and get rid of wastewater. They require no additives other than what naturally flows into them to work properly. Let Mother Nature look after this one.

Always exercise water conservation and watch what you flush. Use lowflow toilets to dispose sanitary waste only and never flush kitty litter, ashtray contents, diapers, tampon applicators or pharmaceutical drugs down your toilets.

Avoid the use of strong cleaners and disinfectants. Excessive use of toilet bowl cleaners, drain cleaners, bleach, disinfectants as well as harmful chemicals, such as solvents, antifreeze, oil, herbicides and pesticides, will kill the natural bacteria in the septic tank and the disposal field.

While 40% of the world’s population lack access to water for basic hygiene, the people of the Peace River Region are fortunate to be surrounded with clean lakes and rivers. Let’s keep it that way for decades to come and please, check your system this week!

Battles heat up at trackers camp

byron hackett photos

The Northeast B.C. and Yukon Midget Trackers held their main camp on the weekend at Taylor Arena. Hopefuls from across the northern portion of the province battled to earn a spot with the Trackers. The team will play six over seven exhibition games over the next several weeks to gear up for the upcoming season. Head Coach Shawn Brinsky said he would ideally like to cut the roster down to 25 players before those games.

Low scoring difficult Lakepoint club championship B yron Hackett

Alaska Highway News

With almost every step on the course at the Lakepoint club championship, there was a noticeable “splish, splosh” that’s better associated with kids playing in puddles than a golf tournament.

Despite the less than ideal conditions, 25 golfers enjoyed a fun weekend and competed at the annual tournament for the right to become this years’ champion.

In the championship flight it was Shando Goodard who took home the title with a two-day total of 150. Goodard led by one stroke after play on Saturday and by two until he ran into trouble on the 12th hole on Sunday.

“It was challenging out there. With all the rain it was umbrellas out, rain gear on and the course was playing tough because it was so wet but I was able to get it around pretty decently given the weather,” Goodard said.

“I ended up making a nine on the par five 12th hole which really stung a bit, but then I was able to follow it up with three birdies in the next four holes and put myself right back in it.”

The solid run by Goodard to finish the round helped

clinch his second club championship win, this time by just one stroke over playing partner Ritch Hosker.

“We have good competition in the championship flight and I’ve been playing against the likes of Travis [Eggers] and Ritch for a lot of years. It was a nice close game today,” he said.

Goodard’s second club champion win is impressive, but in looking at the women’s club championship trophy it was hard to see a place that isn’t covered by Annette Reader's name.

Reader has won the trophy more times than she can count, and although she’s taken the last few years off from the tournament, she hasn’t been too far from the game.

“No secret, I just like competition. I had just been to the B.C. Seniors Games in North Vancouver and got in the competitive mood,” she said.

Reader shot a two-day gross total of 178, 12-strokes ahead of runner-up Kelly Smeeth.

Reader said it was her putting that really helped set her apart on Sunday.

“Yesterday I couldn’t putt,” Reader said on Sunday. “So I was three putting a lot of things yesterday and today I found some putting technique, but I was hitting the ball well today.”

Larry London was the senior flight champion with a twoday total of 161, two strokes ahead of Dave Orkrainec.

Ron Smeeth was the first flight winner with a two-day total of 171.

Lakepoint will wind down the golf season with a couples tournament on Sept. 19. sports@ahnfsj.ca

Former councillor Jeanne Pryndik passes away

Bronwyn Scott

Alaska Highway News The flag flew at half mast at Fort St. John city hall Sept. 10 for Jeanne Elizabeth Pryndik, a passionate, committed member of the community who passed away on Mon., Sept. 7. She was 86.

Pryndik won many awards and recognitions over the course of her lifetime, including the Order of Canada, and the Service Above Self Award from the Rotary Club of Fort St. John in 2002.

When she first arrived to Fort St. John by way of Greyhound bus in 1969, she and her husband Alec planned to stay for only five years. Forty-seven years later, and they still called Fort St. John home.

Pryndik was known to have put countless volunteer hours into various non-profit organizations, including the North Peace Chapter of the Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada and the Canadian Cancer Society.

For years she handled the registration for the Oilman’s Golf Tournament, and was an active member of the Oilwives Club as well as the Royal Canadian Legion. Schoolchildren knew her as ‘hot dog Jeannie’ for her commitment to School District 60’s hot lunch program.

Ever passionate about politics, Pryndik successfully ran for council in 1990. For 12 Dr. Justin Sewell Rivers Animal Hospital years she bettered her community as a city councillor.

House

THE The Arden is designed for use as a vacation home, but there's nothing to stop a person from living in it year round. In fact, the kitchen, utility room and great room/nook are every bit as spacious and well appointed as those found in many primary residences. And the plan also has three bathrooms -- at least one more than is typical in a home this size.

Square wooden posts support a front porch that spans most of the front facade. A rustic wooden handrail bounds all but the entry section of the porch and wraps around to enclose the long side deck as well. An oldfashioned porch swing would be right at home here on the covered porch.

The side deck is directly accessible from both the great room and one of the bedrooms.

Families with small children, grandchildren or dogs could create a secure outdoor play area by simply gating this deck left of the entry.

A lofty vaulted ceiling slopes up from both sides of the

great room to an apex centered over the entry. Windows on three sides, including four on the second level, make this an exceptionally bright space. A freestanding wood stove (could be gas or pellet, if preferred) provides warmth on chilly days and comes in handy for drying soggy footgear and the like.

One of the secondary bedrooms has a walk-in closet and a private bathroom complete with shower. The other has direct access to the main bathroom.

Side shed dormers expand the available headroom in the Arden's loft, creating a space large enough for a double bed and windowed sitting area.

Three more windows brighten the bathroom, which has a large soaking tub/shower combination.

Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy will play in the PGA Tour’s season-opening Frys.com Open next month at the Silverado Resort and Spa. They will play as part of an agreement the two made with PGA Tour commissioner Tim Finchem when he allowed them and six others to participate in a lucrative exhibition in Turkey in 2012 that conflicted with that year’s Frys.com Open.

Woods played in the 2011 tournament, while the second-ranked McIlroy will make his first appearance. Woods, 39, is coming off his worst year on the PGA Tour, having missed the cut in the past three major championships and has slipped to No. 272 in the world.

Lessons from the Golf Pro The golf cart is one of the great innovations on the home course for the amateur golfer, but it can get us into a world of trouble at times. The biggest error comes when we park our cart, walk to the ball out in the fairway and then realize that we brought the wrong club. More times than not, in a rush, we just decide to go ahead and swing with the club that was brought and a poor shot is the usual result. The resolution to this quandary is quite simple. On the ride to your shot, think about the club selection that you are probably going to need. Consider all factors including yardage, wind direction and any elevation changes involved. Then, the most important aspect is to carry multiple clubs from the cart to your ball.

While this will cause a bit more strenuous exercise, getting the right club is what needs to be done.
