Not done yet
District of Fort St. James has female firefighter sign confidentiality agreement Ruth Lloyd Caledonia Courier The District of Fort St. James had sexual harassment complainant Kirstin Rudolph sign a confidentiality agreement in relation to her allegations against then Fire Chief Rob Bennett. This was the condition upon which the District agreed to release any information to Rudolph on the investigator’s report into complaints she and another female volunteer firefighter filed with the District against Bennett for sexual harassment. The confidentiality agreement is a standard agreement employees of the District are supposed to sign upon beginning employment, including volunteer firefighters, said Kevin Crook, chief administrative officer for the District of Fort St. James. “It was something that probably should have been done a long time ago,” he said. While Rudolph could not comment after she signed the agreement on Sept. 3, her husband Phillip Smith did say he was concerned with the fact the District did not meet with the complainants prior to announcing Bennett’s resignation and the report’s recommendations at a meeting with some volunteer firefighters after a practice. Smith also questioned the inclusion of Bennett’s denial of the allegations in the District’s release, while they chose not to release anything from the investigator’s report.
Smith said the statement makes it look as though the District is acting as an agent for Bennett and not for the complainants. Kevin Crook, chief administrative officer for the District, said the inclusion of Bennett’s denial of the allegations was meant to make it clear the announcement of his resignation was not meant “to imply whether wrongdoing happened or not.” Smith said “the complainants don’t consider the matter closed.” “From my perspective, looking at the whole process to date, some of the things that jump up is them not following their own policies,” said Smith. Smith said the fact the complainants were not informed separately or specifically about the outcome of the investigation prior to the public meeting at the fire hall contravenes the District’s own harassment policy which says complainants will be informed in writing as soon as possible. Bennett was told of the outcome of the investigation the week prior, after which he resigned as fire chief. “Neither Rob nor the District has stepped up and acknowledged something wrong has happened,” said Smith. While Joy Rierson was not one of the firefighters who filed a formal complaint with the District, she was one of the female firefighters interviewed by the independent investigator regarding an alleged incident she experienced. She also said she was not informed of the outcome of

the report herself, but instead heard “through the grapevine” as she had to work the night of the fire practice when Crook and councillors attended the fire hall. “To me there doesn’t seem like a whole lot of closure,” she said. “I don’t appreciate it.” Rierson is not critical of the District’s handling of the affair, but still struggles to deal with the emotional toll of the alleged incident and the investigation into it. “It just doesn’t go away,” she said. “You still wake up with nightmares.” “It effected me way more than I thought it was going to.” Rierson said the training the District is proposing will be positive for the fire department and those involved can begin to move on. “It is a good thing, it’s just going to take me a little longer than I thought, which sucks,” she said. “It’s like, so you go to work and carry on and I’m the one going ‘Okay, now how do I work through this?’” The allegations against Bennet have not been proven and the District said they will not be releasing details of the investigator’s report. The criminal investigation into Bennett’s alleged behaviour still continues and Crown has not yet approved charges in the case. The District of Fort St. James has posted the position of fire chief and hopes to have a replacement fire chief in place as soon as possible after the application deadline of Sept. 27.

Many small towns are friendly, but Fort St. James can now say it is also business friendly. The Fort is one of 15 finalist communities from across the province for the 2013 Open for Business Awards. “I was so excited,” said Emily Colombo, economic development officer for the District of Fort St. James, when asked how she reacted to the news Fort was a finalist. Fort St. James is in the running alongside Valemount, Central Saanich, Chilliwack, Coquitlam, Kelowna, Pitt Meadows, Lake Country, Langley, Peachland, Pemberton, Penticton, Emily Colombo, economic development officer for the District of Rossland, Squamish and Vernon.

The Yekooche First Nation, which has been struggling with leadership issues for over a year, is again receiving their federal transfer payments. While a recall vote and by-election for the position of chief had halted payments from Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development Canada (AANDC), it appears funds have once again begun to flow to Yekooche. The band is still pursuing civil action against Henry Joseph, a full time position elsewhere, Colombo wants to alter the position slightly to make it more business-oriented and continue it through the winter after the success she saw with it in the summer. “I’m just so happy with the work that she did,” said Colombo. The awards will be announced at the Union of British Columbia Municipalities annual conference in Vancouver on Sept. 19.
Mining and community health
Submitted
A local project recently received almost half a million dollars in funding from the Canadian Institutes of Health Research. The funding is to continue the project’s work of tracking and monitoring the impacts of the Mount Milligan mine on community health and well-being in Fort St. James, Nak’azdli, and Tl’azt’en. It’s a project unique in the mining world, and it’s garnering a lot of attention. Together, community health and social service providers and the research team, Dr. Janis Shandro (University of Victoria/ University of British Columbia), Dr. Aleck Ostry (University of Victoria) and Dr. Malcolm Scoble (University of British Columbia) are working to enhance understanding of the health impacts and health opportunities mining and extractive industry development
can hold for communities with a strong focus on culturally appropriate Social Determinants of Health. In 2012 the team completed a community health base-line assessment, and are now monitoring community health and sustainability conditions through the opening phases of the mine. The work is guided by the Stuart Lake/Nak’al Bun Research Advisory Board, which provides oversight to this project and seeks to ensure that other health and sustainability research occurring in the region brings positive health benefits. This work was launched by a Community-based Health Research Grant from the Vancouver Foundation and an Aboriginal Health Priority Grant from the Canadian Institutes of Health Research. What’s unique about the project is that, as far as the project team is aware, this is the first time
the health impacts of a mine on communities have been tracked across a mine-life cycle. It is also unique in that the communities initiated this initiative with the intention to “be ten steps ahead”. Kandace Kerr and Anne Marie Sam, the two project research associates, recently made a presentation about the project at the World Mining Congress in Montreal that was attended by 2,500 global mining industry representatives. Members of the project team will be in Fort St. James over the next week and a half interviewing local health and social service providers about the changes they have seen since the baseline was completed. The public will have an opportunity to share their observations and learn more about the project at an open house at the Fort St. James Public Library on Tuesday Sept. 17 from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m.
who had been elected chief but was removed in a recall along with then-councillor Mathew Ernie Joseph. Chief Allan Joseph will now serve as chief alongside councillors Angelic Rose Joseph, Mitchell Joseph and Miranda Joseph until January. Yekooche has offices in Prince George where the finance office is located and 223 registered members, some of whom still live on the reserve on Stuart Lake.

Virtual life or virtually living? Ruth Lloyd Caledonia Courier With the increasing use of social media and handheld devices in our society, it may be somewhat like beating a dead horse to raise the topic one more time. But it has been making me think lately. I recently read an article detailing how two parents took control of their child’s online identity before she was even born. They searched her name before they chose it to make sure there were not lots of negative search results associated with namesakes. After choosing a name, they then registered a domain name (internet website address) an email account, Twitter, Facebook and Instagram accounts, all in her name. The idea was not to create her identity, but instead to prevent others from creating one for her. The parents do not post photos of their child on Facebook or other social media, due to their concerns over facial recognition software and the implications for how this could impact her later in life. They don’t allow their friends to post anything related to the couple’s new child either. Now these steps seem a little extreme to me, in an age where the majority in our society will be growing up with an online presence before they are even born, it will be a shared experience the couple’s child will not

know, but is this such a bad thing? Probably not. And while we’re at it, maybe the rest of us could do with a little less online presence. Well, let’s be realistic, our online lives are here to stay, but perhaps we need to also be present where we are a little more often and worry about showing off to the rest of the world how awesome our bike ride/child’s birthday/night out are going a little less. I also recently read a great article on the constant documenting of our lives and the impact it is having on us. Our obsession with our online lives can distract us from enjoying our actual lives, and can also create the phenomenon known as FOMO or fear of missing out. Instead of focussing on what we’re doing, we might actually find ourselves constantly checking our Instagram or Facebook feeds to find out what everyone else is doing. Researchers are beginning to study these things, which would suggest the problem is not getting better or going away. I used to think television was the problem - people watching someone’s pretend life instead of living their own, but maybe social media is just as dangerous. My advice: go outside and play, and leave the phone at home once in awhile. #IMO #justasuggestion #adviceonlife #intendedirony.

did not immediately return calls for information on the fire and the response from their fire department. Josh Hallman, Binche Separation Committee chair, said, the incident reinforces Binche's reasons for wanting to separate and be able to rely on the local community. Hallman said he wants to see a fire truck in Binche instead of one which has to respond from Tache and will continue to ask Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development Canada for this.
A vacant house on the Binche Reserve burned to the ground on August 31. While the Tl'azt'en Fire Department was called, no one was reportedly available to respond to the fire, which it is estimated took place between 4 a.m. and 6 a.m.. RCMP were also called to the fire at 6:45 a.m. and said the house, which had been abandoned for years, was boarded up prior to the fire. They have no evidence to further investigate.

Cashing out Ruth Lloyd Caledonia Courier The Calendar for a Cause project finally cashed out and presented cheques to the three beneficiaries of the project. The Fort St. James Humane Society (FSJHS), the Greening Up Fort St. James (GUF) Society and Justicemaker Veronica Marisol Quiroga Pando who works with women in Bolivia to help promote human rights in the Bolivian justice system, all received the proceeds of the project. Each one received $3,484 from the calendar, which was a volunteer-driven project to create a calendar of local vintage vehicles and local models in pin-up style clothing. The models were all from Fort St. James, but Vanderhoof car owners and Wallace Studios also participated in the project. Mel Chesnutt thought up the project, and in total, she recruited over 40 volunteers to bring the calendar to life. The funds were presented by some of those involved to both the FSJHS and GUF at the Soup Wallah last week, and the other funds were wired to Bolivia. "You guys are breathing new life into GUF,"
said Louise Evans-Salt as she received the cheque for the recycling organization, which she said has not yet fully recovered from the devastating fire which destroyed their recycling centre over a year ago. She called the project another example of why Fort St. James is such a great place to live as so many people come together to give so generously of themselves, demonstrating a connectedness you may not see in large cities. "It is so inspiring that a group of young people donated their time and talents and then chose to give to a group whose mission is sustainability," she said. "It can feel at times that no one cares about the environmental issues affecting our world." "This is a reminder that many people are aware and want to do something so GUF wants to say a big thank you to all involved and to those who believe in the vision GUF has of a more sustainable community." Jasmine Kendall accepted the cheque for the FSJHS and said the funds would likely go towards helping to complete the shelter out at the fair grounds, which still needs electrical work. "We'd like to see the shelter up and running year-round," she said.

The weigh-in for the Atkins Greenhouse onion growing contest will take place on Sept. 14 at 10 a.m. at the Atkins Greenhouse. The contest, a forfun event to encourage people to grow onions for the food bank, was free to enter and open to all. Anyone who grew an onion and especially those who were given an onion at the Atkins Greenhouse for the contest can bring it in to be weighed and then the weighed onions will be donated to the local soup kitchen and food bank. All varieties of onions can be entered, but they do have to be

Registration and Business Fair There were around 400 visitors through the Registration and Business Fair on Sept. 4 at the Fort Forum. With 10 vintage car owners showing their vehicles, recreation groups providing registration opportunities, local non profits and small businesses creating awareness of their services, there was a lot to see. The Stuart Lake Sailing Club brought a unique boat to display. The Hobie Cat brand boat is like a kayak with outriggers for stability, has a mast and sail, and comes with
pedals for times without wind. Groups like minor hockey and women’s hockey were providing registration opportunities, as were the Stuart Lake Hospital Auxiliary, Friends of the Historic Site and others. Some small businesses showcased their products as well. The College of New Caledonia Professional Cook students prepared samples of freshly made crepes for visitors to the event and helped draw people to have a look at other programs the college is offering.

Ditnikwun (Dakleh for Thunderfire) went to California last week, a goal the group had been working towards for months. The group spent five days down there and competed in friendly competition against the Soboba First Nation Tribe of San Jacinto, California. In three different events, golf, fastball and volleyball, Ditnikwun played off against the Sobobans of Los Angeles. Leon Erickson, team leader described some of the action: “The first event saw a co-ed fastball game between the Soboba AllStars and Ditnikwun.

The Fort St. James presence was felt, with some good showings in the results. Kid’s Events This year’s Big Pig kicked off with the kid’s events on Friday night. A record 48 youth came out to test their skills. The youth had the option of entering in downhill, cross-country and pump track event. Tye Peters of Ft. St. James was the fastest boar downhill rider.
