Has COVID-19 affected mental health in BC youth? Study aims to find out. Rob Brown Managing Editor How has COVID-19 affected mental health in B.C. youth? Provincial researchers want young people and their parents help to answer this question. A study of how the COVID-19 pandemic has affected youth mental health in British Columbia is well underway – and researchers want more parents and youth to weigh in. A research team at BC Children’s Hospital aims to identify the frequency of mental health concerns in children and youth during the COVID-19 pandemic, describe the type and severity of these concerns, and guide families to relevant mental health resources to help with any identified concerns. Parents and youth can help inform mental health resource planning by participating in this study. For this Child and Youth Mental Health During a Pandemic Study, researchers have examined emergency visit numbers for mental health issues for children in B.C. over the past decade. “We’ve seen an exponential rise in visits
to address mental health concerns,” says Dr. Quynh Doan, associate professor of pediatric emergency medicine at the University of British Columbia, to the Dawson Creek Mirror. “We’ve also seen a high frequency of psychological and social issues in children and youth seeking help for non-mental health-related concerns when we screen for them.” While safety measures such as physical distancing have helped reduce the spread of COVID-19 in B.C., the stress of the COVID-19 pandemic along with the strain related to public health restrictions may have impacted the mental health of children and teens and led to increased anxiety, depression, self-harm and substance use.
on what youth mental health services to access. If the self-assessment triggers any severe and urgent concerns, a study research nurse will check in and help ensure appropriate help is accessible. The last step comes three months later with a short follow-up survey and second selfassessment. The study uses MyHEARTSMAP, an online self-screening survey for youth mental health, which was created with input from youth and families. MyHEARTSMAP was adapted from HEARTSMAP, an electronic, clinical assessment tool developed at BC Children’s to improve care for children and youth presenting to the emergency department (ED) with a mental health concern.
Children and youth aged 10-17 in B.C. can complete a self-assessment for The Child and Youth Mental Health During a Pandemic study, and parents of children aged 6-17 can complete an assessment for their kid(s). Participants register, receive a call from a research assistant, and then complete an assessment, which takes about 30 minutes.
The tool was designed by the Doan research group and has been in use at BC Children’s Hospital pediatric emergency department (PED) since 2015 and implemented in emergency departments across BC.
Once completed, each participant will receive a report with recommendations

NLC student Stephanie Honeyborne practices the railroad technique. SUMMER
Northern Lights College’s salon program is now taking clients, offering fresh cuts and colouring to the community. Residents interested in looking their best can book an appointment over the phone and come down to the South Peace Campus. Program Instructor Tara May says the COVID-19 pandemic slowed them down, but they’re ready to accept clients for students to practice on. “It’s been consistent - but we’re always looking for more. But it’s been pretty good. Of course we were shut down last year due to COVID. So we didn’t get the full extent of our salon out there, which was unfortunate.”
Student Sydney Dingwell says the hands on experience exceeded her expectations, going beyond bookwork. “Things have kind of been up in the air since COVID, but we’ve definitely found a way to make it go smoothly, and it’s been a good course so far. It’s really informative you learn a lot, it’s in-depth.” She added she already has employment prospects lined up after she graduates, apprenticing full-time with one of the local hair salons. “Eventually I’m going to go for my Red Seal and then I’m going to open my own business. There’s actually quite a few of us who have apprenticeships lined up already.” Anyone interested in getting a cut or more can give the salon a call at 250-7847614. tsummer@ahnfsj.ca

The province is launching a pilot project in Northern B.C. courts this week, moving bail hearings to a virtual format only. On April 19, the Northern Bail Pilot Project will test a centralized bail hearing model by installing MS Teams equipment in seven RCMP detachments and the Prince George Regional Correctional Centre. The project was created in consultation with Legal Aid BC, BC Prosecution Service, Public Prosecution Service of Canada, defence counsel and police. Accused persons will appear by video conference or audio conference from detachments in these locations: • Burns Lake • Dawson Creek
Dear editor, All winter long, British Columbians have been heading outside to stave off boredom amid travel and gathering restrictions. When I’m out in the provinces’ parks, I meet all kinds of people, from casual walkers to serious backcountry skiers. Unfortunately, parks underfunding has created bottlenecks for the crowds who are eager to get out this season.

The project aims to reduce time spent in-custody awaiting a bail hearing, overnight remands in police cells, transports of prisoners by sheriffs to courthouses and correctional facilities, and reduce or eliminate interruptions to previously scheduled trials due to unscheduled bail hearings for newly arrests.

Quote Of ThE WEEk
NICHOLS: talking about flower power, and hellish times Flower Gazing In these times of uncertainty (choose your own descriptor), ambiguity, frustration, futility, confusion, fear, my temptation is to focus on the issue and try to fix it with words, all the while knowing in my soul that words alone are not the answer. Nor is flaccid acquiescence. Is there an answer? There is, I am sure. But maybe our first need is to change our focus. More than 200 years ago Japanese poet Kobayashi Issa recorded these memorable thoughts: “In this world, / we walk on the roof of hell, / gazing at flowers.” Sounds like 2021, doesn’t it? Except we haven’t heard much about t h e flowers, at least not in my writing (for that I repent), or in much I have heard or read. With the flower season just around the corner in our northern clime, it is time to take our gaze off hell and consider the lilies. What about the lilies? For one thing, lilies “toil not nor spin,” says the ancient Teacher, yet the richest of monarchs could not clothe himself like one of them, nor eat as well. Their Creator cared for them. That ancient Teacher, of course, was Jesus Christ in rural Galilee. Whatever you think of Him, He was a real human being, living in really tough times under the harsh Roman heel. So He knew what it was for people to be hungry and afraid. He may have been hungry and thirsty from time to time, but never afraid. We are living in hellish times, too. So, what? Here’s what: Let’s get our minds off the hell, the uncertainty, the ambigu-
ity, the fear, and consider the lilies (“they toil not nor spin”). Gaze at the flowers, let them turn our thoughts to their Creator – and ours, and drop our fear of the hell in which we live. Fear can and will weaken our physical and emotional resistance and leave us more susceptible than before to the thing we fear. As we give up fear and focus on the beauties of creation still remaining, we will realize that even on “the roof of hell” there is beauty all around us – in the sky (brilliant blue this morning), in the trees preparing to leaf, in the birds gathering building supplies for spring nesting. Astonishingly, they will pay no attention to any ban on purchasing nonessential stuff for their nests. They’ll just go on building. (Consider the birds.) And while considering the birds and the lilies, there is also something very practical that you can do; perhaps several things that will have a real and lasting effect on your health and the length of your life. Build up your body and mind defenses: get fit, stay fit, take Vitamin D, the sunshine vitamin every day even when the sun shines (it’s cheap and readily available). Don’t neglect Vitamin C and zinc and other defenses, also
cheap and available. I’m not practicing medicine. Leave that for the docs. I’m just repeating what the docs have written. You can find the complete information yourself. I used to get sick before D but I can say now that I haven’t had even a cold for years. (You probably know that the common cold is caused by a corona virus of which there are several.) We, all of us, have to take basic responsibility for our own health. That basic responsibility starts at home; it doesn’t require a physician to prescribe. It takes only a will to be in charge of ourselves as much as is humanly possible. And certainly, the docs are there when we need them. In taking care of our own health, we’ll also take a load off the overburden public system. By the way, here is an ancient Wisdom that could inform our media (and the rest of us): “Where there is no wood, the fire goes out; where there is no talebearer, strife ceases.” Merlin Nichols

Dear editor Please send my sincere thanks to Rob Brown for his question to Dr Henry on her BC Covid Update yesterday, Monday April 12, 2021. I seldom watch these BC Health Ministry updates. They tend to be repetitive, and reporters seldom seem willing to ask questions that attempt to keep these Health Officials and Politicians honest. Not so yesterday. Your Mr Brown asked, how does the BC PHA respond to the majority of PHO imposed fines being tossed by the courts. Ms Henry’s face and response was surreal in it’s surprise, denial and then, classically, Global immediately “cut the feed” to avoid any further questioning.
there worth looking for. Officially sanctioned censorship “is the smoke” needed to know there’s indeed a fire somewhere within. I do hope mainstream reporters and news media begin to realize it’s their JOB to investigate, to ask tough questions, to get to the bottom of increasingly important questions. Thank you Rob Brown for yesterday, for at least this brief moment, doing just that.

Richard Shatto
To see the exact place in the media scrum where Rob asks his question and see her response it is here at 48:50 timestamp. Enjoy, I sure did! Respectfully,
What is censorship? Censorship carries with it great risks. Societies that allow the voices of dissent to be silenced cannot call themselves democratic. By silencing opinions we widen the divisions that exist in our society. Our governments and the world health organization are telling us that “misinformation” is dangerous. And they are deciding what is defined as misinformation. We currently have online “fact checkers” arbitrarily determining what information is valid and what isn’t. There is as well a movement to censor opinions using the validation of prohibiting “hate speech”. This raises the question as to who will define “hate speech” and how this label can be misused. There is legislation now being proposed that would allow our government to decide who would be allowed to publish news and who would not.
Healthcare workers and medical staff have been threatened with job loss or reprimand for speaking out. Our right to assembly is under attack (in the name of the public good). We are treading on dangerous ground. Ultimately the most dangerous form of censorship is self censorship, where people have been coerced into silence by fear of reprisals. The sharing of information is vital for us to determine a correct course of action as a society. It is every individuals right,responsibility and duty to do their own research and discern fact from fiction. If statements or information are untrue then they need to be met with reasoned discussion and debate, not censorship. Dave Carter

If they bring in or show proof of five dinners - entrants will be entered to win a dinner for four with the South Peace MLA at the local restaurant of their choice.
“We can still support great dine-in restaurants by ordering from them. Then, once restrictions are done and finished - we will sit down and have some dinner.”
“We’ll be spreading the word over the next few days,” he says.

Traverse: digging into the dirt, cultivating community Dillon Giancola Reporter/Photographer
Tiffany Traverse had been interested in seed and soil trials for some time, always interested in seeing what vegetables could thrive in the unique Peace Region climate and environment. In the last couple years, she thought about doing her own project and research, and began forming relationships with different agricul-
tural groups to see what opportunities might be available, as she lacked the funding to do something like this on her own. She connected with the Beaverlodge Research Farms, part of Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada. After some time working together on an idea, Traverse, together with AACF researchers Charat Shrestha, Minka Gorzelak and Greg Semach, are embark-
ing on a $55,000 pilot project to test different types of soils over the next two years. The trial will be done at Traverse’ Fourth Sister Farm near Progress, B.C. “We decided to do the trial here because it is the northern most trial location over the last couple years. We have a short season, challenges with soil, and face drought conditions some years, and I want to see what the best op-

tions are,” Traverse said. The trial will test bovine, swine, poultry, and equine manures, as well as composting, to see which work the best. However, for Traverse, this project isn’t only about testing different kinds of soil. “Being Indigenous, I wanted to break down the barriers between us working on the ground and those working in academic areas. Through the partnership, I had say in how the trial was laid out, the plot size, the different variety types, and how I did the planting,” said Traverse. “They gave me the reigns to dictate what’s happening here on my land.” She was asked to do a two-acre plot, but said as she’s only one person without a fulltime farm business, she needed to do what worked best for her. “I’m not interested in canola and forage crops. I wanted to create something that a community member, or First Nations community could use with their own gardening,” she said. Traverse acknowl-
edges that similar trials to see which fertilizers work best have been done in the past, but as climate and temperatures have changed, she was really curious to see what would happen now. “Research done 20 years ago won’t be the same as today,” said Traverse. Traverse can’t wait to get started on the project. “I’m really excited. There will be a lot of work to do, especially as just one person. If people want to volunteer and are interested in helping out, whether that’s with planting or weeding, and in turn receive mentorship from me, that’s something that could be very helpful,” she said. Traverse made sure to emphasize that this project is for the local community and for community groups. “I’m not interested in continuing to fuel that capitalistic, big-agriculture circle. I’m interested in what community members need and want,” Traverse said.

Chabot signs with GPRC volleyball team Maddie Chabot is excited about the chance to play setter for the GPRC women’s volleyball team next season. Though Chabot lives in Spirit River, she played for the Dawson Creek Volleyball Club this season, and is one of five DCVC players who will play college volleyball next year. “I’m really excited to play with the college girls, I know a quite a few of them already, have played with some of them in the past. It’s close to home, and it will be a good starting point
for myself,” Chabot said. Chabot practiced with DCVC this year, as Alberta’s PHO restrictions differed from B.C.’s and even practice wasn’t permitted for much of the club volleyball season. Spending a full season practicing without games might not seem like much, but it’s a lot different when you can’t have any kind of formal training and playing at all. “I would get the odd invite to come to Dawson Creek when they had workshops. When
Alberta shut down, the coach asked me to come for practices, and I’m happy I got to play with the DCVC,” Chabot said. “It was really beneficial. As a setter, if you aren’t working at it constantly you can lose that touch, so it’s nice to be keeping up with it and working on your base skills.” DCVC coach Aaron Powell was glad to have Chabot be a part of the club this year. “(Chabot) worked re-

the 2021-22 college volleyball season is still half a year away, Chabot can’t help but be excited but the chance of finally playing meaningful games after almost two years of not.
“I think this year, with the girls that were there, they were all very motivated and very nice team people. Everyone was really encouraging, and it especially helps to have those people when you’re trying to get into a college,” Chabot said.
“The chance to play games again would be amazing. I can’t wait to get on the court and just play, without being restricted in any way. Hopefully the restrictions lighten up and we can go out there, have fun, and just play,” said Chabot.

Virtual Open House gives you access to Coastal Gaslink Coastal GasLink, like everyone else, looks forward to the day we can be together in person. But since we can’t meet at coffee shops, community halls, or at local events for now, we’ve developed a safe, innovative, and convenient way to stay connected. Coastal GasLink recently launched its Virtual Open House platform and invites everyone to learn more about the 670-kilometre project, and engage with our team from the convenience of their own home. “Our commitment to engage with Indigenous and local communities spans the life of the project, and we didn’t want to let the pandemic stop us from doing that,” said Kiel Giddens, Coastal GasLink’s Public Affairs Manager for British Columbia. “The virtual experience can’t replace the relationships we’ve built together, but we hope it continues to keep communities informed and connected with us in a way that prioritizes health and safety,” he added. Visitors to the Virtual Open House will have the flexibility to interact with content, watch videos, explore the project route, and pose questions and comments when it is most convenient to them. Key features of the platform include an interactive project map, a flyover of the 670-kilometre project route,

and ‘stations’ where visitors can engage with subject matter experts, much like a regular open house. Information on contracting and employment opportunities, training initiatives, community investments, and current construction progress can also be found on the site. “The team at Coastal GasLink have always done an exceptional job of ensuring that the communities along the route of this project are well informed,” shared Mayor Dolores Funk
from the Village of Burns Lake. “The virtual open house is no exception. I encourage everyone to explore all the information that has been provided here and reach out to Coastal GasLink staff with any questions and concerns you might have.” Feedback from Indigenous and local communities has been instrumental in helping to shape the project being built today. Visitors to the Virtual Open House can continue to provide Coastal GasLink with feedback,

A round up of the local links Thanks to a warmer-thanusual March, Peace Region golf courses are further along than they would be in a typical year, as snow continues to melt rapidly. Most of the courses have yet to set an opening date, and the double-digit temperatures forecasted for the next couple weeks will likely be interrupted by a one-day snow out of nowhere, but golf season is upon us and it’s time to clean off the clubs and stock up on golf balls. Heading into the summer, things feel as uncertain as ever in regards to what PHO restrictions will be in place and what sports the community will be able to engage in. However, golf is one of the few sports not currently restricted in B.C., and the local courses are looking forward to an exciting and joyful season. Dawson Creek Country Club

The earliest that the Dawson Creek Golf Club has ever opened was April 9, according to manager Jim Wickstrom. While that date has come and gone this year, Wickstrom things the club could have nine holes by this upcoming weekend if the weather goes as forecasted.
“Our average opening day is April 25, and we’ll be ahead of that for sure,” said Wickstrom. “It’s been a long winter, and I’m optimistic that this will be a great golf season.” Farmington Course

The snow is off of Farmington Fairways, and the tarps are off the greens. Owner John Rigsby likes the shape the course is in, and is ready for a busy year. “We were a lot busier last year than in previous years. People don’t have much else they can do and I think you’ll see the same this year,” said Rigsby. He things Farmington is still a couple weeks from opening, but anticipates starting earlier than April 24, the 2020 opening date. Rigsby said the driving range should be open by the weekend. “At this time last year there was still snow all over the course,” he said.

Summer Solstice Run on for June The 2021 Summer Solstice Run is going ahead in person this year, after organizers opted for a virtual run in 2020. The run will start at 8:30 a.m. “We are full go for an inperson run, unless restrictions get worse than they are now,” said organizer Jordana Moxon. This year, funds raised will be donated to the Dawson Creek Hospital Foundation, to help purchase patient care equipment. Each year, the organizers donate to a different non-profit, and had planned to give to the DCHF a year ago before the event was switched to a virtual run. In 2019, the run brought in $2,700 for the Mizpah Transition House. “We have a full safety plan in place. We won’t have more
than 50 people congregating at one place at any time, and there will be no awards ceremony afterwards. We will stagger the starts, with only 10 runners starting at a time, and we’ll have a chip on every runner’s ankle to keep track of their time,” Moxon said. “We’re really excited about it. This year has been hard on everybody and their mental health. Being able to run and train this year is really great and allows us to get the community spirit going again.” Registraion is open now, with three distances to choose from: half marathon, 10km, and 5km.

Tumbler Ridge’s Emperor’s Challenge bumps back registration for August South Peace race The 2021 Emperor’s Challenge remains scheduled for August 7, but as the year goes along, it’s uncertain if a race will be able to go ahead by then or not. As a result, the planning committee has pushed registration back from May 18 to June 7, in hopes of having a clearer understanding of the PHO restrictions at that point. “I know, we’ve pushed it back once already, but the hopes are case numbers will be on the way down by the start of summer,” reads a post by the planning committee on Facebook.
The post mentions several options that will be considered to meet health restrictions, depending on what the restrictions end up being. Some of the options include a staggered start, a masked start, changing the starting point, and limiting the number of entries, among others. “We’re doing all we can to make the race happen as close to normal as possible, but as with everything in this time, things are a moving target,” the committee said. There was no Emperor’s Challenge in 2020.

There will be a South Peace Junior Soccer (SPJS) season this year, but it won’t be a typical one. The club executive gave themselves a deadline to get a season started and have details in place, but with the ever-changing nature of PHO restrictions, weren’t able to reach it. However, the City of Dawson Creek will be partnering with SPJS to help players have a season of some sort, however different it may end up being. “Given everything going on with (COVID-19) and the restrictions, and not knowing where things would be at, we couldn’t open registration and order uniforms on time. It won’t be a usual season, but there will be soccer this year,” said SPJS President Jennifer Combres. The city will be handling registration, as well as all the requirements regarding a COVID-19 safety plan and other precautions.
Details on when registration will open, dates, and age rangers are still to be announced. Combres said the club has partnered with the city in the past for several soccer camps, and things will go smoothly. The club will provide the equipment, with parents and volunteers making up the coaches as in previous years. Combres expects most of the on-field action will revolve around working on skills and practice drills. “As a board, we’re really happy we could offer something for the kids this year. It’s needed social interaction, and we want them to have fun out there,” Combres said. “We want to run a sports program, but we also want everyone to be safe.” There was no SPJS season last year.
The Perils of Politeness in a Pandemic I was talking to a friend the other day about masks and she mentioned that when she was getting a facial the beautician did not wear a mask. She thought it was odd because her hairdresser wears a mask even though she doesn’t get as close. She admitted to feeling uncomfortable but was also not comfortable asking the person to put on a mask; afraid that it might sound rude. Masks have become a contentious topic since March. Conflicting information from too many sources has left many of us unsure how and when we should be ‘masking up’. But how and when we wear a mask is something we have control over. The how and when other people ‘mask up’ is not. But we do need to be aware of how their choice affects us, and to speak up when we are not comfortable with that choice. I’m not advocating that we go out and chastise everyone we meet who isn’t wearing a mask. I’m just saying that if you’re in a situation where you’re not comfortable with a mask-less face hovering too close, it’s okay to say so. You can still be polite. In my friend’s case, she could have said something like “I really enjoy these facials, but I’d feel a lot more comfortable if you would wear a mask, please.” Most people respond much
better to a polite request than to shaming or rudeness. An older person recently told me they wear a mask when they go shopping but sometimes feel very self-conscious because so many others are not wearing them. At one time it would have been very unusual in our town to see someone wearing a mask in public, but I think we’re all getting used to seeing this now and we certainly shouldn’t allow what others do influence our decision to wear a mask. Whatever your views on masks, politeness and respect are still pillars of a civilized society and with all the added stress that 2020 has brought, we really need to keep our society civil.

It is with heartfelt sorrow we announce the passing of Gayle Daniel, resident of Sunset Prairie, British Columbia, on Sunday, April 4, 2021 in Dawson Creek, BC at the age of 79. Gayle was born August 31, 1941 to Arni (Ole) and Luella Einarson in Rose Valley, Saskatchewan. Gayle grew up on her grandparents farm and was always outside with Grandpa Larson, dad and the farm animals. She really liked to ride grandpa’s horses. Gayle loved music and could sing and play the guitar effortlessly. Gayle competed in and was a fan favorite at many local music contests and talent shows during her teenage years. She had many favorite songs over the years and listened to a variety of old time country music and many country classics. At an early age Gayle was interested in hairdressing and graduated from the Marvel School of Hair Dressing in Saskatoon. In 1960, while working in the hair salon in Saskatoon she met George Daniel and they married in May of 1961. They soon started their family with the arrival of Bonnie followed by Dean. In 1965 they decided to move to Dawson Creek and Lona arrived a short time later to complete the family.

Gayle continued with hair dressing while working from home or going to the homes of the many customers she had acquired who needed a cut or a perm. Gayle also worked at the Dawson Co-op in the hardware department at the old store by the mile zero post and in the Co-op Mall, then on up to the Co-op Service Center. In 1973 Gayle and George made the final move to the family farm in Sunset Prairie to raise cattle and horses. Gayle loved her farm animals and in the early days raised chickens, a few pigs, milked the cow twice a day for a fair number of years and raised her beloved horses. She really enjoyed her horse Blaze and together they travelled many miles checking on the cows in the Sunset Community Pasture. Spring was her favorite time of year as she always looked forward to the arrival of all the newborn calves. There was always something to do on the farm which was an adventure to her and that was what she liked. Over the years she grew many a fine garden and home canning was a necessity to carry the family through the following winter.

Gayle was very sports minded and was an avid curler and ball player. She really liked to watch George play hockey and was his biggest fan cheering him and the team he played for on. Some might say that her cheer leading with the rest of the fan club was what won the hockey game. Gayle was diagnosed with Parkinson’s and lived with it for most of her adult life but she never let it get her down. She always had a positive outlook on life and was able to ride her quad around the farm and over to her son Dean’s place as much as she could while checking on all the farm animals and the wildlife up until the fall of 2020. Gayle so loved all the wildlife which she said was something she got from her dad Ole. Gayle leaves to mourn her husband George and children, Bonnie (Ken) Titford, Dean (Colleen) Daniel, Lona (Don)Gies, grandchildren; Tanis (Greg), Lisa (Mark), Clarke, Jayme (Cheralynn), Jason (Robyn), Jessica (Chad), Shanai, Lane (Morgan) and 13 great grandchildren and numerous family members and dear friends. Very Respectfully, Reynars Funeral Home & Crematorium
