NEWS BRIEFS Province rejects Northern Gateway The B.C. government has recommended rejection of the Enbridge Northern Gateway oil pipeline project in its final written submission to the federal environmental panel. Environment Minister Terry Lake announced the decision Friday, two weeks after an election where pipeline politics played a key role. He said the B.C. government isn’t satisfied with the company’s plans for spill control on the twin pipeline proposed to run from northern Alberta to a tanker port at Kitimat. “Northern Gateway has said that they would provide effective spill response in all cases,” Lake said. “However, they have presented little evidence as to how they will respond.” Ministry staff evaluated the 192 conditions proposed by the Joint Review Panel, the federal agency that will make a recommendation for permits to Ottawa next fall. The B.C. government and Northern Gateway officials will give their final oral arguments to the panel when hearings resume in Terrace on June 17. Enbridge has argued that its submissions to the federal panel included 7,000 pages of technical reports and nine separate witness panels have answered every environmental question put to it. The panel has conducted 69 days of cross-examination of company officials by B.C. and other representatives. Lake said the B.C. government is not opposed to heavy oil pipeline projects in general,.

New medical society may act as a model Ruth Lloyd Caledonia Courier In what has been an ongoing process for about a year, the Fort St. James Primary Care Society has officially formed. The society will be working in partnership with Northern Health to take over the Fort St. James Medical Clinic. The non profit society, has a mandate to provide administrative oversight and governance to the previously private Fort St. James Medical Clinic. Previously the clinic was owned and operated by Dr. Paul Stent, who is looking towards retirement. The formation of the society was precipitated last year with the loss of the majority of the physicians in Fort St. James, leaving only Dr. Stent to become the lone physician for the area, and the goal was to create a new model for the physician clinic to continue to operate. The medical clinic’s day-to-day operations will still be managed internally as before. Chairperson of the society, Laura Chernowski, said everything to do with the society and their partnership from Northern Health has been developed from the ground up, so it has
been a complex process, but the group is excited to be working with Northern Health to set up this “unique model.” Northern Health has supported the formation of the group by funding a lawyer who specializes in not-for-profits to consult with the group. The community of Burns Lake also has a not-for-profit society working with Northern Health on local health care, but it is not as far along in the process and is not structured the same way. “This is the only one that I’m aware of,” said April Hughes of Northern Health. “It’s truly a partnership between the community and the health authority.” “People will be looking at this particular formation to either replicate it or to do something similar based on the learnings that have come out of this particular organizational structure.” The board currently consists of nine members: Chernowski as chair, Ann McCormick as co-chair, Kris Nielson as secretary, Monica Grill as the treasurer, and directors Chester Hiebert, Ross Ramos, Aileen Prince, Riley Willick and Joan Burdeniuk. The board is meeting with Northern Health this week to continue to work on the plan for the society and the clinic.
Fort drivers urged to mind their manners
RCMP in Fort St. James have been responding to an increasing number of reports of driving offences. Spinning tires, speeding through the community and other reported potentially dangerous driving is being reported with increasing frequency. RCMP are reminding motorists to drive with care and attention and obey the laws or they could face significant fines and potential charges under the Motor Vehicle Act. Doing donuts or other “stunting” is an automatic vehicle seizure and seven days impoundment of a person’s vehicle and a large fine.

Dr. Stent honoured
Ruth Lloyd Caledonia Courier
Dr. Paul Stent was the recipient of some much-deserved recognition on May 29. Stent was given the Measuring up the North Award of Excellence for his many years of service to the community at a lunchtime event at the Stuart Lake Golf Club. Mayor Rob MacDougall called Stent a “pillar of the community� in his speech recognizing Stent’s dedication to the people of Fort St. James over the years. MacDougall said it came as somewhat of a shock when he found out Stent was the recipient, because every community under 5,000 people north of 100 Mile House was competing in the category in which Dr. Stent was nominated. “It was a shock somewhat, but like I said, very well-deserved,� said MacDougall. In the District of Fort St. James’ letter nominating Stent, they praised Stent’s past and present work in providing local health care. The letter spoke of Dr. Stent’s choice to stay on in Fort St. James even when he was the only physician left, and to continue to work to develop health care in the community to make it more sustainable. “He persevered to not only provide continuous and essential health services for the community, but also assisted in reshaping the medical clinic organizational model used to attract physicians, and has now seen four new physicians hired on to bring about a full physician complement� said the letter. MacDougall acknowledged the contribution Stent has made to the community by shouldering the significant load of so many people’s health on his shoulders, as well as making it possible for seniors to “age in place.� Stent accepted his award with his usual humble manner, thanking the First Nations in the area for their support and for his local friends the Playfairs and Rasmussens. “We’ve got our own family in Fort St. James now,� he said. Stent said it has been a privilege to be involved in the birth of over 500 babies throgh the years in the community, and he thanked his staff for putting up with the short staffing and stress over the years. Stent was also given a birthday cake in honour of his 64th birthday, which he celebrated on May 30. While Dr. Stent had been hoping to retire earlier this year, he has since agreed to stay on full time in order to be the necessary supervisor for the new physicians, the Van Zyls, who as foreign-trained doctors require a local physician to oversee their initial transition here in Canada. He now hopes to aim for scaling back his practice by the end of next year instead.

Leading ladies
Ruth Lloyd Caledonia Courier
This week I have had so many opportunities to be impressed by the number of strong women taking leading roles in the community I just had to write it down. After my interview with the new Product Development Officer for the Fort St. James National Historic Site, April Hilland, we were chatting about some of the things going on in the community, and she mentioned some of the inspiring women we know and the things they have initiated in the community. While it was a sad week for Fort St. James last week, losing one of the community’s most tireless advocates and volunteers, Kandace Kerr, who has moved to Sooke, there was a bright light of hope in what Hilland had to say. She mentioned the hard-working women of the District of Fort St. James Office: Mel Chesnutt and Emily Colombo, who are initiating some brilliant new things like the newcomer potlucks and Bike to Work Week Fort St. James, for two easy examples. Hilland herself is bringing new ideas to build on the already significant contribution Kevin Gedling made to reinvigorating the historic site. She will be adding her own creative touch to the events and outreach programs, to help draw new visitors as well as to draw locals back to see the site they have seen so many times.
Earlier in the week I was also running with Renada Walstrom, who has been featured in the paper as an inspiration for her running program and leadership in health and fitness in the community. Walstrom continues to inspire me each week, with her great attitude and dedication. After my first run back on returning from my vacation, I was again impressed by how much fun we have had running with her, and the continued enthusiasm for running she has inspired is exciting to be a part of. The volunteerism of Izzy Willick also continues to impress me, as she dedicates countless hours to coaching the high school girls volleyball team and running the Murray Ridge Ski School year after year. There are so many women in this community who continue to give of their time and energy to not only give to the community, but to make Fort St. James a great place to be and inspire the next generation of young women. This is not to say there are not men around providing inspiration, but I just was struck by the many strong leading women driving the community forward and making things happen. So here’s to all the leading ladies out there in Fort St. James making things happen and getting it done - keep up the great work. If anyone would like to share stories of some other leaders in the community, contact The Caledonia Courier at newsroom@caledoniacourier.com or 250-996-8482.

May 23 at 9:20 a.m., a plainclothes officer in downtown Fort St. James observed a male driving a white Chevrolet pickup allegedly consuming alcohol. The driver was then pulled over by an RCMP vehicle and subsequently failed a roadside screening of his blood alcohol level. The driver was subsequently given an immediate roadside prohibition from driving for 90 days, the vehicle was impounded for 30 days and the driver was issued a number of tickets. The suspect was also a new driver and therefore was in violation of his licence restrictions On May 12:20 p.m., a disturbance was called in from Fort Trailer Court. Two females were reportedly intoxicated and fighting. Upon arrival, RCMP did not find there was any continued disturbance, however, one of the women in the residence was found to have an outstanding warrant and so was subsequently arrested and held in custody until she could appear in court. May 25 at 2:30 a.m., RCMP were called to Airport Road after a report of an attempted theft of a vehicle. The resident reportedly chased off the suspect but there was damage done to the vehicle in the attempted theft. Upon investigation, RCMP searched the neighbourhood and then discovered a residence which had also been broken into. The owner of the home was out of town, and RCMP are still waiting for a list of what items were stolen from the residence. At 10:30 a.m. the same day, another call came in to report tools stolen from yet another residence on Airport Road. Anyone with information related to these thefts please contact the Fort St. James RCMP at 250-996-8269 or to remain anonymous call Crimestoppers at 1-800222-8477. On May 28 at 7:48 a.m., RCMP were
called to report a motor vehicle incident at the 17 km on the Leo Creek Road. A driver swerved to miss an animal and pipe in the back of the truck came through the vehicle and hit a passenger in the vehicle in the back of the head. The passenger was transported to hospital and RCMP reported no serious injuries were likely resulting from the incident.

develop a Municipal Master Trails Plan. The plan will set municipal development goals and actions for connected active transportation and to support sustainable economic and community development through trails and transportation planning. Included in the Trails Master Plan will be a map (provided both hard copy and electronically) which will highlight local and regional trails in our area. Some limited trails signage will be implemented as a component of this project.

Seniors group delivers a good service
Ruth Lloyd Caledonia Courier
The Fort St. James Seniors Delivery Service is six months old and going strong. The delivery service, which brings groceries and prescriptions to the clients on their list, has done 118 deliveries and purchased $4,717 in groceries over 47 shifts. It has also saved clients $525 through discounts offered by Sana’aih Market and
Overwaitea Foods. The deliveries will be continuing until December, and serve 15 self-identified seniors and people with mobility issues in the community. While the contract for the coordinator position has now ended, the service is able to continue operating through the District of Fort St. James municipal office and is working on plans to possibly deliver for the soup kitchen and the
food bank. “We’re going to take it one step at a time,” said Emily Colombo, economic development officer for the district who has been working with the Seniors Action Committee on the service since the beginning. Colombo said a survey of the service’s clients indicated all of their clients thought it was an excellent program and was helping to improve their quality of life.
Four senior volunteers do the deliveries, which also then has benefits for them as well, building relationships within the community and gives both the clients and volunteers a social outlet. The service is looking for more drivers for Monday shifts on a weekly or biweekly basis and those interested in being added to the client list can contact the District of Fort St. James at 996-8233.
