Child seriously injured in vehicle accident Sam Redding Omineca Express A 4-year-old boy in Vanderhoof was injured in a crash with a vehicle while riding his bike down 4th Street East and Riley Avenue. The accident occurred at about 3 p.m. Thursday afternoon in the school zone near Evelyn Dickson elementary school. The 22-year-old male was driving west when the boy
appeared from the south and failed to stop at the stop sign while coming down the hill. The boy suffered serious injuries to his face and head and was taken to St. John Hospital and then taken to University Hospital of Northern BC. His older brother, age nine, stopped by the RCMP detachment to thank the officers for their quick response and to inform them that his brother was released from hospital with a few stitches. Several witnesses came forward immediately to help the
boy, placing towels under his head around a pool of blood. The mother was close by to assist him as well. “Its really important for people, especially children, to be wearing their helmets,” said RCMP Sgt. Jason Keays. The areas of the child that were struck when he received the injuries would have been covered had he been wearing a helmet added one RCMP officer. Although it may not have prevented the injury it certainly would have lessened it. Neither speed nor alcohol were deemed a factor and the driver is not being charged with anything at this time.

Former Vanderhoof resident, Joseph Knelsen, has pleaded guilty to charge of second-degree murder as of Monday, June 3. Knelsen was charged with the first-degree murder of Gordon Berg of Langford, B.C. According to the Times Colonist, Crown prosecutor Tamara Hodge described the night of the murder in “chilling” detail to a jury on May 27. Gordon Berg and his girlfriend, Laura Carey, were in the bedroom when a masked man burst through the window spraying bear mace. Carey fled upstairs and hid with the homeowner, Shannon Henson, in the upper suite, believing Berg to be right behind her. Carey and Henson hid in the locked bedroom while the assailant hammered on it. “They see a hammer coming through that door,” said Hodge in court. “Shannon opens the door to a man whose face is obscured. He is holding a hammer and he is covered in blood. The man grabs her by
the throat. That’s when Shannon and Laura recognize the accused.” The 53-year-old Gordon Berg was found dead in the downstairs kitchen, reports the Times Colonist. He had been hit at least 10 times in the head and stabbed five times. On May 28, evidence and photographs were shown to the jury by RCMP forensic identification officer Sgt. Nav Hothi who spent two days examining the crime scene. The jury was shown evidence ranging from the battered and bloody doors to the screwdriver, hammer, knives, Vise-Grips, and homemade mask in court on Tuesday. They were also shown pictures of blood on the foyer, on the bannister and the stairs. After the bail hearing in May 2011, Knelsen was released on a $100,000 surety bail and moved back to Vanderhoof to live with his mother. He was not allowed to leave without a family member unless he was going to work. Nor was he allowed to consume alcohol or leave the province.

New CNC campus within five years Sam Redding Omineca Express Vanderhoof has long been in need of a new postsecondary educational facility and that time will come within the next five years. This time last year, the College of New Caledonia submitted their capital plan which included a new Vanderhoof campus. The new college campus will be a 40,000 square foot purpose-built facility designed to hold over 200 full-time students, more than double the current students in Vanderhoof. The current facility operates out of a building leased that was part of St. John Hospital and the problems with the facility are many. “It’s not a college campus facility, it’s not designed to be that,” said John Bowman, president of the College of New Caledonia. “[It’s] ancient, classroom space is inadequate, too small, there is no space for student activities, it’s cost us a lot to operate because it’s a very old building and the community and college need and aspire to something better.” The new campus will include real classrooms, trades training shops, computer labs, gathering space, offices and other spaces to accommodate the increase in student population. Bowman added that he believed Vanderhoof to be “the least well served” community in the CNC region even though hundreds of thousands of dollars has been spent maintaining the campus. The next step to getting the new campus finished will be to receive a funding commitment from the provincial government, this is expected to happen within the next year or two. The campus is expected to cost $15 million plus operating fees.
At the same time, a contractor has been hired to scout out a number of preferred sites to build the campus, they will then submit those sites to the government within the next two months. “We’re hopeful that MLA John Rustad and his colleagues will be supportive of making a capital investment and additional funding required for the campus to meet the needs of the community,” said Bowman. The educational plan to be offered at the new cam-
pus is being put together by people from the community. According to Bowman, the educational advisory committee is made up of “industry representatives, first nations, representatives from the community, major industry, municipality, and development agencies.” So everyone from the community is involved in assuring the college offers the right programs at the right time. Vanderhoof Mayor Gerry Thiessen shared his thoughts on the opening of a new college facility. “It’s an absolute necessity,” he said. “Nobody is going to attract workers into the community, no industry is going to come unless they know that there’s people who have been educated and trained in the trades and technical fields.” Although CNC’s capital plan calls for a new campus within the next five years, Bowman said that realistically, within
Oil and tire recycling ambassadors Sam Redding Omineca Express The British Columbia Used Oil Management Association has partnered with Tire Stewardship BC for their eighth annual Summer Ambassador tour. They are traveling all over the province to promote recycling of oil and tires. Jordana Fridman and Sonia Sandhu were the ambassadors to northern B.C., they visited Kal-Tire in Vanderhoof on Monday, June 3 for a tour as
Kal-Tire is one of the few recycling facilities in the community. Their goal is to increase collection rates for used oil, antifreeze, and scrap tires. “The BCUOMA is a non-profit organization that promotes and encourages B.C. residents to recycle their used oil antifreeze filters and containers and dispose of them properly in a way that is environmentally friendly,” said Fridman. “We’re spreading the message about used oil antifreeze and tire recycling ..just to let them know that
there are these options are available and to encourage them not to put these materials in landfills.” The ambassadors were hoping to speak with the manager of Kal-Tire to get feedback about the program and to see where they keep their used tires, how many they have and what condition they’re in but the manager wasn’t in. Both BCUOMA and TSBC are non-profit organizations dedicated to cleaning up the province and minimizing contamination of the environment.
the next three or four years, a new college will be open and ready to welcome students.
Congratulations!

BRIEFLY Bones scare at construction site Sam Redding Omineca Express The Vanderhoof RCMP were called to the St. John Hospital on June 5 to investigate bones that had been found by the parking lot construction crew. “It was during the excavation for the construction at the hospital,” said Sgt. Jason Keays, Vanderhoof RCMP. “They were doing some digging and found what looked to be human skeletal bones.” The bones were found only about three feet down while the construction crews were digging in the topsoil. The bones were seized by the RCMP and the Coroner’s Service and construction halted at the site. A forensic anthropologist was then called in who determined the bones to be animal not human.
Dr. Bret Batchelor, of the Omineca Medical Clinic, recently completed a year of Enhanced Surgical Skills training at the University of Saskatchewan. This training is essential for doctors to maintain their proficiency and keep up to date with current practices. The surgical skills training is essential for the St. John Hospital as well. Without it, not enough doctors can be around to work in the operating room, which is one of the extremely few operating rooms to be found in northern B.C. “It’s actually an incredible privilege in Canada right now to have something like this,” he said. “It’s very unique, there’s only 11 sub-sites in B.C. right now.” Without the training, the operating room wouldn’t be in operation frequently enough, without operations it would close. If it closed then there would be less doctors in Vanderhoof. So it’s a cycle that, thankfully, is being addressed by sending doctors such as Batchelor to surgical training programs. “Basically it’s a year-long training program, six months focused on surgery and six months focused on obstetrics and gynecology,” said Dr. Batchelor. “It’s intense surgical training specifically geared towards people that work in rural areas.” The training program allows Batchelor to perform a number of things he couldn’t before and keeps the room in use. Only a couple of local doctors use the operating room a couple times a week, the rest of the time is taken up by doctors traveling from Prince George or elsewhere.

er babies, in a small town is the point of focussing on rural areas. Without the training, there would be no operating room in Vanderhoof, and no possibility of Caesarean sections. “This will allow it to provide a better service to the community, and Vanderhoof is a good example of that. We have 14 or 15 physicians now and it’s because we have that operating room… it also allows the doctors here to do a larger breadth of practice and to do it safely.” Dr. Batchelor was born and raised in the South Okanagan and came to Vanderhoof, a place he had never heard of, as a trainee. He has never once considered living anywhere else.

FCL provides $5 million gift to children and families across Western Canada passion and support to children and their families during some of the most difficult times in their lives.” Of the $5 million, B.C. Children’s Hospital Foundation receives $550,000; Alberta Children’s Hospital Foundation in Calgary, $825,000; Stollery Children’s Hospital Foundation in Edmonton, $825,000; Children’s Hospital Foundation of Saskatchewan, $1.7 million; and The Children’s Hospital Foundation of Manitoba, $1.1 million. The money was divided using a formula developed by FCL to allocate fairly regionwide gifts of this nature, and was agreed to by all parties. The money to the Saskatchewan and Manitoba foundations is in addition to money already raised from Co-op/ Rider and Co-op/Bomber “Game Day Approved” co-branded products. In response, the five Children’s Hospital Foundations thanked FCL and retail Coops for their generosity. Teri Nicholas, President and CEO, B.C. Children’s Hospital Foundation, said, “FCL and retail Co-ops’ support for our Foundation will have a direct impact on children and families in every community in British Columbia.”
Saifa Koonar, President and CEO, Alberta Children’s Hospital Foundation, said, “FCL and retail Co-ops’ generosity will make a tremendous difference for the 82,000 children and families who need our hospital every year.” Mike House, President and CEO, Stollery Children’s Hospital Foundation in Edmonton, said, “We appreciate FCL and retail Co-ops’ support of medical excellence at the Stollery, and commitment to patient care for children and families who need it most.” Brynn Boback-Lane, President and CEO, Children’s Hospital Foundation of Saskatchewan, said, “The support from FCL and retail Co-ops is a game changer that will allow the Children’s Hospital Foundation of Saskatchewan to get one step closer to bringing a children’s hospital to the province.” Lawrence Prout, President and CEO, Children’s Hospital Foundation of Manitoba, said, “Thanks to FCL and retail Co-ops’ generous support, we will be able to fund important care and research initiatives that will lead to brighter and healthier futures for all children in our province.”
Drug charges laid in FSJ On June 6th, 2013, members of the RCMP Crime Reduction Unit were investigating a suspicious occurrence in a wooded area near downtown Fort St. James. A male was then reportedly located in possession of crack cocaine and other drug paraphernalia. Donald Service has since been charged with possession of cocaine for the purpose of trafficking and will appear in court on September 10, 2013. On May 31 at 1:30 p.m., RCMP were called to a possible fight at Petro Canada in Fort St. James. A male was reportedly assaulting a female, and upon arrival, RCMP found the male suspect to be behaving in a way which endangered his or others’ safety. The man was then taken into custody under the Mental Health Act and taken to Stuart Lake Hospital for assessment by a physician. The man was then sent on to Prince George for further treatment. On June 1 at 11:12 p.m., RCMP were called to
assist the fire department at Stuart Drive and Ash Street. Someone had reportedly thrown a molotov cocktail-type device onto the road, which was subsequently burning. The bottle was on the street and the fire department suppressed the fire, but RCMP are asking anyone with information related to the incident to call Fort St. James RCMP at 996-8269 or Crimestoppers, as the incident created a serious risk to public safety.

Federated Co-operatives Limited (FCL), on behalf of local Co-ops that make up the Co-operative Retailing System, knows it is important to do what’s possible to make children and families feel at home while in hospital. That’s why FCL is making an historic gift of $5 million over five years to the five children’s hospital foundations in Western Canada. The gift is also the first time that the five children’s hospital foundations have received a single donation to be shared between them. For nearly a century, Co-ops have built their reputations on being the local business that cares about people and communities, partnering with others that hold similar values in support of causes that matter to each of us, says FCL CEO Scott Banda. “Like you, we care about our children, our families and our communities,” Banda told an audience gathered in Saskatoon and via web broadcast to sites in Winnipeg, Regina, Calgary, Edmonton and Victoria. “At the end of the day nothing says ‘you’re at home’ more than children and family. That is why we support the five children’s hospital foundations and the work they are doing to provide an environment that offers com-

Breasts are amazing! As a nice lady-like follow-up to mother’s day, today we will be discussing breasts. Did you know that’s breasts love to be free? That underwire bras are one of the worst things for a breast as it restricts the movement of the lymphatic fluid which drains toxins from areas of the body, natural movement through exercise, dance and just regular everyday walking can help the health of the breasts. We learned before that the lymphatic system requires the movement of your muscles to push its way through the body, it does not circulate on its own, because breasts do not have muscles to push lymph, it is the exercise and massage that enhances circulation. Take your time getting to know your breasts so that you can spot any differences while doing breast exams, this way you may notice changes that may not be for the best. Did you know that a mothers breasts will synchronize with her newborn to help regulate their own temperature, keep the baby warm? That’s one of the reasons why skin to skin contact between mother and child are meaningful. Breastmilk actually changes minute by minute, day to day, to provide exactly the right nourishment and immunities that a baby needs as determined by the breast through receiving information from the baby’s saliva on the areola. Breastmilk is also used by wise mamas for many purposes including putting on diaper rash, earaches, pink eye, sore throats, and many other healing needs. When a women breastfeeds the breastmilk bathes her milk ducts as it passes through to her baby, thus providing increased breast health and preventing breast cancer in direct relation to how long she nurses. Breasts are extremely sensitive, they receive information from the environment and their tissues collect toxins and hormones, Breast cancer is now the most common form of cancer for women in the US letting us know that our environment is toxic and we must make changes in our health, diets, exposure, and detox.

Volunteers sidelined by the courts
One has to wonder when B.C. Court of Appeal judges volunteered in their community? If they did, they would understand there is an extremely short supply of individuals who willingly give up their own time to help organizations around them. And it’s increasingly difficult to get people to lend a hand as life seems to get busier. So what did the B.C. Court of Appeals do? They have made it more difficult for groups to attract volunteers by declaring that elected officials are in conflict of interest when participating in a nonprofit society that receives civic funding. In Enderby, there has already been one casualty as Coun. Brad Case has resigned from his role with the chamber of commerce. That’s unfortunate as Case brought a wealth of business and community experience to the chamber. And, in turn, he could provide knowledge about the chamber’s inner workings to his council colleagues. Many communities, and particularly small ones, don’t have the luxury of differentiating between people who sit on municipal council or regional district and those who volunteer with a service agency or business group. Often multiple hats are worn. Yes conflict of interest can occur but there is provincial legislation that clearly outlines the guidelines. And the simple solution is for a politician not to be involved in the discussion on a group they belong to, particularly if that organization receives public funding. The provincial government needs to review the court ruling and make changes to legislation to ensure conflicts are avoided while allowing volunteerism to continue. Black Press

Yet, on a Hooterville Hoot weekend the misspelling “gas movement” was appropriate. Peter Rodseth The Omineca Express is published every Wednesday in Vanderhoof by Black Press Ltd.

Hooterville Hoot
Omineca Express Wednesday, June 12, 2013
Vanderhoof filled up with great looking cars and trucks the weekend of June 2. The annual Hooterville Hoot was a great success, many classic cars attended and were joined even by some new ones. And the kids got in on the fun too, joyriding around on the little train.

4-H rally day for Vanderhoof
4-H food drive
The youth of Vanderhoof’s handful of 4-H clubs got together to judge each others’ animals. There was swine, beef, horses, rabbits, dogs, lamb and poultry to judge. And the Cloverbuds were judging too.
The Vanderhoof district’s 4-H clubs gathered 1063.5 kilograms of food and $145 for Neighbourlink. A big thank you to the district of Vanderhoof and Fort St. James for participating in the 4-H food drive in celebration of 4-H’s 100th anniversary. It is suggested the food donated to Neighbourlink will last it through the summer months into fall. Again a big thank you to all involved in making this possible. Contributed by Shawn Pyy
