POLICE BRIEF
By Matthew Bains DAWSON CREEK – A partnership between a conserva-
tion group, an oil and gas company and a local family has resulted in a new wetlands habitat being created near Dawson Creek.
The Piper Pond was unveiled on June 1, just north of the city on the 217 Road. The total area of the pond is 11.8 hect-ares, with a maximum depth of two metres. The land belongs to the Piper family, but was donated to Ducks Unlimited Can-ada to transform it into a permanent habitat for waterfowl and other wildlife.
“I think it’s tremendous that we have a jewel like this close to town, it’s such a highlight,” said Darryl Kroeker, head of conservation programs in the BC Peace Region for Ducks Unlimited Canada.
He said they’ve already observed swans, geese and differ-ent species of diving ducks using the pond and they’ve hired a biologist to conduct duck surveys in the area.
“We get [the biologist] to start surveying these projects as we bring them online because we’re trying to get an idea about how quickly these wetlands become productive and we
use that when we’re designing our future projects,” said Kroeker.
The quality of the soil and the fact that the land was al-
for insects, which the birds feed on. He said that will only be enhanced now that there’s a permanent body of water and once more vegetation is established.
“The land is productive,” said Kroeker. “If it can grow a good crop, it can grow ducks and can grow wildlife.”
He said as a precaution they built a large, L-shaped ditch that acts as an emergency spillway.
Kroeker said in a worst-case scenario, they have the ability to drain the whole pond, which was a requirement of the licence.
Kane Piper explained the land was always too wet and muddy for his family to farm on it. He said his father, Perry, had done some work previously with Ducks Un-limited Canada and was the one who came up with the idea for the wetlands.
Kane’s daughter, Gillian, is a wildlife enthusiast who has on several occasions joined the biologist to conduct
the duck surveys and has done her own exploring.“It’s really fun,” she said. “I just really enjoy going around
and watching the birds, seeing where they nest, the babies grow and discovering everything about the animals around the pond.”
The 18 year-old added she sees a future for herself in biol-ogy and conservation.
Kane said the pond is located on private property, and while they don’t mind people walking by to have a look, they would appreciate some notice. He said he is concerned about ATV’s and dirt bikes disturbing the area and will probably put signs and fencing up to discourage that from happening.
The $100,000 cost of the project was funded by EnCana Corp. from a $1 million sponsorship the company gave Ducks Unlimited to conduct wetlands projects in British Columbia and Alberta.
Mike Fargo, vice president of business services and stake-holder relations, said work is ongoing on the Hartnell project, a wetland being restored near Doe River. He added some of the money has helped Ducks Unlimited map wetlands in the
boreal forest in the Fort Nelson area, which is useful for them and for companies operating in the area.

Ridge would like to have funding security
for the future so it can continue digging up
the past and is looking to BC Hydro for
help.
Palaeontologists with the research centre
have requested from the Crown corpora-
tion that a $27 million endowment be cre-
ated to help hire more staff, purchase more
supplies and equipment, and enhance the
centre’s ability to store and catalogue fossil
resources. The request comes from a desire
to see fossils in the Peace River Valley dis-
covered, documented and salvaged before
the proposed Site C Dam becomes opera-
forever.
Palaeontologist Richard McCrea said

Peace Canyon Dams and although the im-
pact of a third dam is not known, he said he

Canadians who work hard, contribute to
our society and play by the rules deserve
Canada Pension Plan (CPP) and Old Age
Security (OAS) payments. Mass murder-
ers sitting in jail cells do not!
Yet Canadians were shocked this past
March to learn that convicted serial killer
Clifford Olson is collecting OAS and the
Guaranteed Income Supplement while
serving multiple life sentences for his hei-
nous crimes.
It is offensive and outrageous to Ca-
nadians across this country and our Con-
servative Government that someone who
murdered 11 children, forever altering the
lives of their families and traumatizing
the communities where he committed his
dreadful crimes, is receiving these entitle-
ments while in jail.
Those who broke the rules of society
and are in prison for their crimes should
not receive the same entitlements as law-
abiding, hard-working citizens.
That’s why our Government introduced
legislation this week to eliminate govern-
ment entitlements for incarcerated crimi-
nals. If Bill C-31 is passed by Parliament,
implementation will begin with inmates
who are incarcerated in federal penitentia-
ries for two years or more. We will work
with provinces and territories
to continue implementation
in provincial and territo-
rial institutions for criminals
serving sentences of greater
than 90 days.
In other legislation our
Government introduced in
recent days, we are working
to tighten laws surrounding
activities that an increasing
majority of Canadians under-
take each and every day…e-mail, Internet
and cell phone use.
E-mail and wireless “spam” is not just
an annoyance. It discourages the use of
electronic commerce, undermines privacy
and increases the risk of identity theft and
for businesses that must use precious re-
sources to minimize the risks associated
with spam.
Among other measures, Bill C-28 pro-
-
ing e-mails and for attempts to steal per-
sonal information. It would
also allow for civil action
against those who violate
the law.
To compliment these
measures, our Government
simultaneously introduced
Bill C-29 to safeguard Ca-
nadians’ personal infor-
mation. This legislation
protects consumers from
identity theft and privacy
breaches. Yet it also encourages contin-
ued growth of businesses in the digital
-
dence in their ability to secure the person-
al information they must collect to serve
their clients.
A key proposal in the legislation re-
quires organizations to notify affect-
ed individuals of data breaches.It also
strengthens law enforcement and security
investigations.
consultations with a wide range of stake-
holders, including business, consumer and
privacy advocates, the Privacy Commis-
sioner of Canada, provincial governments
and law enforcement authority.
The online marketplace and the digital
economy are playing an increasing role in
our every day lives and in the prosperity
of Canada’s economy. It’s imperative that
our laws keep pace.
legislation in more detail in the coming
weeks and months, I am hopeful they rec-
ognize that our legislation to end govern-
straightforward, just and urgently needs to
pass! Every cheque a criminal like Clif-
ford Olson receives is another blow to
victims, their families and their communi-
ties!

Just think about it
By Jay Hill
Words of OpinionEDITORIAL
MP Report
Incarcerated murderers are not ‘entitled’ to entitlements
Imagine being in a grocery store and your favourite food
item is on the top shelf – just out of reach.
You manage to get it down, but only after either asking
for help or honing your baseball skills to whack it down.
and make your way through the parking lot – it’s a beauti-
ful day, why drive?
Not everyone thought that and as you head to the side-
walk, someone backs up not noticing you’re there and, at
the last minute, you’re able to get out of the way.
You breath a sigh of relief and make your way home
but, just like on the way to the grocery store, you face the
dilemmas of potholes in the streets, curb cuts and though
they may seem slight to most people, hills.
Doesn’t sound easy does it? Well, it’s the life of some-
one in a wheelchair and, with something as simple as a trip
to the grocery store, it’s the challenges they face.
It’s also a challenge members of the community took on
recently at an Accessible Awareness Day on June 3 and it
didn’t take long before reality reared its head.
The city has admitted these are just some of the chal-
lenges that need to be addressed, and will be addressed in
the coming months.
the importance of making the city more accessible.
Although a lot of work has been done to progress the
city’s streets, sidewalks and businesses, there’s still more
to be done.
Just imagine the possibilities.

FEEDBACKEditor:After reading the Mr. Pat Pimm’s letter defending
and advocating for the proposed HST, a glaring error of reasoning stood out. Mr. Pimm defends the pro-posed BC HST on the grounds that it will be the low-est HST in Canada. He compares BC’s proposed HST with those of Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick as well as to the VAT in Que-bec and the proposed HST in Ontario. He argues that BC’s proposed HST is superior to the combined taxes in each of these other jurisdictions because ours will be 12 per cent and the others are all 13 per cent.
First of all, Mr. Pimm sets the boundaries of the debate by comparing BC only with other provincial jurisdictions that already have or are proposing a combined sales tax system. By comparing BC only to other provinces who have gone or are going with
boundary around this debate. Why is BC only com-pared with other provinces that already have or are soon to implement an HST of their own? Of course within these imposed limits to the debate, BC looks a bit better, albeit only marginally (12 per cent as com-pared to 13 per cent). But why are we only compar-ing BC to other provinces with their own existing or future HST?
Secondly, all the provinces Mr. Pimm compares BC to are a long way away and are not among the provinces that BC competes most with for business. In my mind Mr. Pimm’s argument in favour of the HST is weakest not because of what he says but be-cause of what he doesn’t say. Looming large in the debate over the HST is something Mr. Pimm only mentions in passing: Alberta. The province next door. Both provinces have forestry, farming, ranching, oil and gas, tourism, manufacturing, mining, power gen-eration, technology, etc. But Alberta has no HST and is proposing none and that is because Alberta has no PST to contemplate combining with the federal GST. This gives Alberta, our closest neighbour and without question our biggest provincial competitor, a distinct economic edge over us. When Mr. Pimm, referring to the implementation of the HST, states, “this will without question be the single most important thing
-bia and Alberta,” I can’t help but ask the obvious. Can the provincial Liberals not think of a single thing that
-cial competitor far more than implementing the HST? If not, let me enlighten them. How about eliminating the PST so that we have the same 5 per cent tax as
the one the provincial government is proposing which would still have a distinct slant toward Alberta.
Whether you take things as they currently stand, with a 5 per cent GST and a 7 per cent PST or you combine the PST and GST to form an HST, 7 per cent plus 5 per cent still equals 12 per cent. This is com-pared with Alberta, where 5 per cent GST plus zero per cent PST equals 5 per cent sales tax. One small example: anyone in Northeast BC knows that if you want to make a major purchase it often pays to drive an hour or two and save 7 per cent. How will imple-menting the HST reverse this trend? Easy answer: it won’t. Until now, BC’s way to deal with this has been to try to punish people and companies that do
responsibility and free-market thinking. The market dictates what people will do and if the market is more attractive elsewhere that is where people will go. It is the same for attracting business to our province. Busi-nesses are attracted to jurisdictions where taxes are lower, not combined. The HST doesn’t substantially change the thing which matters most for economic activity: the bottom line.
Mr. Pimm concludes his letter with what he un-doubtedly sees as the point that should end all debate on this issue: “Almost every credible, leading econo-mist in the country agrees: Harmonizing sales tax is the best thing we can do to strengthen our economy, improve our competitiveness and create jobs.” I guar-antee that the only way almost every credible, leading economist in the country (including the C.D. Howe Institute) would say this is if they were told from the start that eliminating the PST was not an option and not part of the discussion. I know of no economist, credible or otherwise, that would tell you 12 per cent tax is more favourable for attracting business, foster-ing growth, creating jobs and spurring economic in-vestment than 5 per cent tax. No economist except perhaps those who are part of our provincial govern-ment.
As to whether I favour Gordon Campbell’s HST or Bill VanderZalm’s separate GST and PST, frankly I don’t know which one would be better. But in my mind having to decide which of these two options is better is like being asked which is the best way to travel the Alaska Highway, by horse or by mule. This
between the better of two inferior options. I prefer travelling the Alaska Highway by car. And I prefer a third way when it comes to debating the future of goods and services taxation in our province: forget the HST and eliminate the PST instead. I’d like to see a referendum on that.
Dan GloverFort St. John
Some thoughts about proposed HSTEditor:It’s still not too late for the BC Liberal government to take the
initiative and reinstate the municipal business vote to bring back some accountability in civic elections. Unfortunately the Local Government Elections Task Force could not reach a consensus on this issue, even after the Canadian Federation of Independent Business (CFIB) supplied a 12-page submission to the group.
Until 1993 small businesses in BC enjoyed the opportunity to participate in civic elections and have a voice in how decisions are made regarding the assessment of taxes by voting for candidates
this right was removed by the government of the day and succes-sive elected civic slates have imposed exorbitant property taxes on small businesses, employers that are the backbone of BC’s bur-geoning economic recovery.
Even local civic politicians have taken up the cause and are throwing their support behind this proposal. They realize that in order for their business communities to grow and prosper, a bal-ance must be struck between residents and business interests.

BC Fort St John Special Olympics
Thank you!
An allocation plan prepared by Mc-
Crea shows a $3 million cost ($500,000
a year from 2010 to 2015) to conduct
surveys of the Peace River/Williston
Lake areas, with a particular focus on
marine vertebrates and terrestrial verte-
brate tracks.
Specifically, the research centre is
proposing to excavate, recover, prepare
and store the world’s largest marine ver-
tebrate fossil ever found, an ichthyosaur
(marine reptile) found north of Willis-
ton Lake in the 1990’s. Palaeontologist
Lisa Buckley said it’s even bigger than
a 23-metre-long one found north of Fort
St. John in the 1990’s, which is housed
in the Royal Tyrrell Museum of Palae-
ontology in Drumheller, Alta.
“This is one example of really unique,
region-specific fossils that come from
this area,” said Buckley.
They would also like to uncover and
document more of a track site discov-
ered near the WAC Bennett Dam in
2008 that could be more than 2,400
square metres in size. They say the site
could be developed into a major tourist
attraction for the region.
However, in order to take on all of
that work, they are requesting $16 mil-
lion to hire two more palaeontologists
– establishing four permanent research
chairs at the centre – and cover the costs
of field research, travel, equipment and
other costs.
Another $6 million would establish
and maintain four permanent technical
assistant positions. Buckley said those
positions would be critical to preparing,
restoring and replicating fossils so they
could be put on display for the educa-
tion and enjoyment of the public.
The remaining $2 million would es-
tablish and maintain a palaeontological
reference library.
Buckley said having secured fund-
ing instead of having to fundraise every
year would give them a lot more time to
focus on research and field work.
“We’ve been doing a pretty good job
with what we’ve had so far, but just
imagine what we could do if we could
fully devote our energies to being the
researchers and the fossil collectors,”
she said.
McCrea said securing operational
funding would also make the business
case much stronger in pursuing capital
funds for a larger, purpose-built muse-
um in Tumbler Ridge.
He added an endowment of this kind
is not unprecedented for museums.
“In our profession we see this happen
a lot where companies will grant muse-
ums endowment funds or private funds
towards a particular project,” he said.
The Peace River Regional District
threw its support behind the endow-
ment request in a vote on May 27.
“This endowment would bring some
stability to our research centre,” said
Tumbler Ridge Mayor Larry White.
He said the museum continues to
draw tourists to the town and the region.
“Just the other day, a family made a
plan to come up to Tumbler Ridge all
the way from 100 Mile House just to
see the museum.”

By Matthew BainsNORTHEAST – The provincial government will enact a
four-point plan to support the struggling BC cattle industry, Agriculture and Lands Minister Steve Thomson announced during the annual general meeting of the BC Cattlemen’s Association on May 28.
Through cost-cutting measures, Thomson said his minis-

Thomson said the two recommendations requiring further analysis relate to regulations governing range lands.
The minister was joined for the announce-

Guichon said while the funding isn’t a huge amount and doesn’t solve all the industry’s

“I think it’s a
as much as any-thing,” she said. “What this an-n o u n c e m e n t showed us is this minister is
very supportive in wanting to see our industry prosper.”
Both Guichon and Lake emphasized the opportunities
Lake said 80 per cent of the
last year was for export, and while per capita consumption

By Matthew BainsDAWSON CREEK – Cheryl Smith is
normally a private person and wouldn’t ask for attention to be focused on her but a battle with multiple sclerosis has left her with no choice.
Friends of Smith have organized a ben--
ceive a new treatment in the United States, which could cost upwards of $5,000.
She explained she was diagnosed with MS in 2000, though looking back she re-members experiencing warning signs with-out knowing the cause.
“The attack I had when I found out I had MS was I couldn’t talk, and when I did talk it was like I was drunk, my words were really slurred, and my balance was really bad,” said Smith.
However, she said, the symptoms are wide rang-ing.
“ L a t e l y I’ve been re-ally shaky,” she said. “The fatigue is horrible, you’re just tired all the time. You wake up tired, and
when you have a shower, you have to lay down and rest after the shower.”
She said she’s in a relapsing and remitting stage of the disease and takes daily injections to slow down the frequen-
disease, thinking she would get better or there would be a cure, but she’s now concerned she way be getting worse.
Smith said having MS has affected her whole family. She said she hasn’t been able to drive for years, and perform-ing household tasks can be challenging, so her husband has been forced to work and take care of the home. She said she can’t go very far outside the house, and when she goes for walks, she has her son follow her with a scooter just in case.
Smith said she became desperate and started researching
found was a treatment not offered in Canada.That treatment is described in an article published in Ma-
cleans magazine last month. According to that article, an Italian professor of medicine conducted research last year into the disease, in which he found all 65 patients in the study had blockages in veins in their neck or thorax, a condi-
“When their blockages were cleared with a basic venous angioplasty, many found their symptoms improved; others saw the degenerative disease’s progress halt altogether,” the article states.
Smith said her researched showed the procedure was being performed in India and Kuwait, for example, but not in Canada. The Macleans’ article documents the struggles of other MS patients trying to receive the procedure in Canada.
“When Canada takes a wait and see attitude, well it’s hard to wait and see when you
She said she thought she might have to go overseas at great expense to have the proce-dure, but she found a medical centre in New York that will perform it. She said it can be as cheap as $5,000, but depends on the procedure. She said they insert a dye into her veins to determine if there is a blockage and then they perform a balloon angioplasty to clear the
so that’s where the cost is unkown.Smith said she’s not expecting a miracle but any alleviation of the symptoms would be
a marked improvement.“It’s kind of like the lottery – if you never play it you’re guaranteed not to win, and if
you play it, you’re probably not going to win, but you at least have a chance,” she said.
Hall on June 23 at 7 p.m. Joanne Anderson explained the evening will feature perfor-mances from local country and gospel acts.
She said admission will be by donation, so people are encouraged to give as much as they can afford.

She said she’s in a relapsing and remitting stage of the disease and takes daily injections to slow down the frequen-
disease, thinking she would get better or there would be a cure, but she’s now concerned she way be getting worse.
Smith said having MS has affected her whole family. She said she hasn’t been able to drive for years, and perform-ing household tasks can be challenging, so her husband has been forced to work and take care of the home. She said she can’t go very far outside the house, and when she goes for walks, she has her son follow her with a scooter just in case.
Smith said she became desperate and started researching
found was a treatment not offered in Canada.That treatment is described in an article published in Ma-
cleans magazine last month. According to that article, an Italian professor of medicine conducted research last year into the disease, in which he found all 65 patients in the study had blockages in veins in their neck or thorax, a condi-
“When their blockages were cleared with a basic venous angioplasty, many found their symptoms improved; others saw the degenerative disease’s progress halt altogether,” the article states.
Smith said her researched showed the procedure was being performed in India and Kuwait, for example, but not in Canada. The Macleans’ article documents the struggles of other MS patients trying to receive the procedure in Canada.
“When Canada takes a wait and see attitude, well it’s hard to wait and see when you
She said she thought she might have to go overseas at great expense to have the proce-dure, but she found a medical centre in New York that will perform it. She said it can be as cheap as $5,000, but depends on the procedure. She said they insert a dye into her veins to determine if there is a blockage and then they perform a balloon angioplasty to clear the
so that’s where the cost is unkown.Smith said she’s not expecting a miracle but any alleviation of the symptoms would be
a marked improvement.“It’s kind of like the lottery – if you never play it you’re guaranteed not to win, and if
you play it, you’re probably not going to win, but you at least have a chance,” she said.

She said admission will be by donation, so people are encouraged to give as much as they can afford.

Local woman asking community’s help to receive treatment
Contributed photo-
-
By Melanie RobinsonFORT ST. JOHN – On Nov. 28, 2009,
Fort St. John resident and business owner Pat McClarty collapsed in her home and could not move her body.
To this day, doctors are unsure what caused the incident, even after extensive testing, but they feel it might have been a bacterial in-fection. McClarty, however, remains on life support in Penticton where she is paralyzed from the damage to her spinal cord.
Now, McClarty and her three daughters, who all grew up in the area, are calling on the community for support in helping their mother receive the care she needs.
“It’s really about getting the best treatment for her,” said Sheila Zilinsky. “This one par-ticular facility in Penticton doesn’t feel it has the proper resources to accommodate her
very sensitive situation.”That sensitive situation
involves the family purchas-ing two ventilators and a bed
which could cost as much as $100,000.
The cost is so high, said Zilinksky, because medicare doesn’t cover it.
Zilinsky said her mother can be described as a kind, hardworking woman, who will help people in any way she can and often gave back to the community.
McClarty was an Avon lady in the community for years but recently, after years of training, got into massage therapy and opened her own business –A Kneaded Touch by Patricia.
More importantly, said Zilinsky, she’s known as a dedicated mother and grand-mother.
An account has been set up at the Fort St. John Royal Bank under the name ‘Pat Mc-Clarty Medical Fund’, which will be open from June 1 to June 30.
Zilinsky said while she knows not every-one can afford to give to the family, even thoughts and prayers make a huge differ-ence.
“We would just even be really grateful if we could be in people’s prayers, our family,
even prayers would be more than enough,” she said.
Bobbi (McClarty) Sloan at (250) 498-4259.

THE HIGHEST STANDARDS OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESPONSIBILITYThe Northern Gateway Pipeline project will be built by one of the Global 100 Most Sustainable Corporations in the World and one of Canada’s greenest employers.
Ensuring Safe Passage
All tankers visiting Kitimat will be safely guided by certified marine pilots. These master mariners know the intricacies of BC’s coastline and work together with the captains of ships to safely navigate vessels into our ports.
Environmental ProtectionA team of over two hundred environmental experts and scientists carefully examined the proposed route, focusing on marine biology, soil, vegetation, wildlife, water resources, fish, archaeology and other areas.
The findings of their analysis were incorporated into our planning to ensure safe and environmentally responsible construction and operations.
Through Enbridge’s Neutral Footprint Program, Northern Gateway will work
with conservation and environmental partners
to counter the impacts to land and trees caused
by the project.
Tree for a treePlanting a tree for every
tree removed to create the pipeline right-of-way
Acre for an acreSetting aside an acre of land for
habitat conservation for every acre of wilderness impacted
Kilowatt for a kilowattCreating a kilowatt of renewable power for every kilowatt of power
used by pipeline operations
We’re building more than pipelinesWe’re building sustainable communities through jobs and investment. And we are doing it to the highest standards of safety and environmental responsibility.
To learn more, visit northerngateway.ca
Environment and Safety Measures
The pipeline will be buried underground at a depth of one metre, which meets or exceeds federal regulatory depth requirements.
The route was carefully chosen to minimize the number of sensitive water crossings and avoid critical habitat.
The pipeline will be monitored and controlled 24/7 from our operations centre.
Well-proven environmental safeguards, including safety control valves and leak detection systems will be implemented.
All vessels entering the Kitimat Marine Terminal will be modern and double-hulled and will be escorted by custom-built tugs.

Matthew Bains photosThe City of Dawson Creek held the inaugural “Solar Days” on the grounds outside
of City Hall on May 28. The event showcased some of the many applications of solar
power being used around Dawson Creek, including in residential construction and
the new interpretive centre being built at the Northern Lights College campus. Here,
Coun. Cheryl Shuman shows off her family’s holiday trailer, equipped with solar
panels that power the appliances inside. Duncan Redfearn with the City of Dawson
Creek explains how a solar hot water system in City Hall saves on the cost of heat-
ing the building. There are similar systems installed in six other public buildings in
the city.

Frank Beatton lived at the Hudson’s Bay Post on the north shore of the Peace River and kept entries of daily life in early Fort St. John. The recordings of this early Hudson’s Bay Company Factor have been digitized by The Cemetery Seekers and brought home to Fort St. John. This project was funded by the North Peace Savings and Credit Union. Over 4,000 images were photographed at the provincial archives in October 2008.
