City advising residents of debris burning
Thursday, September 2, 2010
There will be some burning of land clearing debris in the area of the West Bypass in Fort St. John starting Friday.The area is located between 102 and 106 Ave. and 108 and 116 St.
The land developer is going to be using excavators to put the debris into large drums where it will be burned.
The drums will also be fed considerable amounts of air to hasten the burning.
The City wants to advise residents that the contractor has obtained all required permits from the Ministry of the Environment and has been working with the Ministry and the fire department on a burning plan.
City officials say the contractor is aware of the issues associated with burning debris within city boundaries and is attempting to ensure the process is done efficiently and effectively.
They add the burning should only occur in two locations at any given time.

The Sweet Dreams Initiative gave a comfy thank you to the Fort St. John community with a pyjama BBQ.
The Western Financial Group held a free BBQ lunch at the Totem Mall, Thursday, as a thank you to community members that helped the initiative raise money for two local organizations.
The meat items for the BBQ had been donated by the Butcher Block and people were encouraged to wear their pyjamas to the event.
The money raised over the course of their campaign went towards the Women’s Resource Centre and Child Services to provide them with 1,000 sleep kits.
Each sleep kit provides a child at the centre with a book, toothbrush, toothpaste, nightlight, a teddy bear and a pair of pajamas, along with a thank you card and a pencil, says Connie Sal, general manager of the Western Financial Group who orchestrated the drive.
The group was able to raise $30,000 a month ahead of schedule.
Sal says the fundraising began in February but because of overwhelming community support, the goal was reached by the first week in August.
At the last City Council meeting, Mayor Bruce Lantz declared Sept. 2, 2010 as the official “Western Financial Pyjama Day”, showing the City’s support for the local cause.

Man sentenced after Grande Prairie pursuit
Man sentenced after Grande Prairie pursuit
Thursday, September 2, 2010
A 28 year-old Edmonton man has been sentenced to two years in jail after pleading guilty to five criminal charges after fleeing police in Grande Prairie last month.
Kenneth Zukowski had been charged with evading police, dangerous driving, failing to stop, and two counts of possession of stolen property after he tried to escape police on Aug. 22.
Grande Prairie RCMP had attempted to stop a 2003 Subaru for a traffic infraction but the driver refused to stop.
The next day, Zukowski was spotted and police attempted to stop him.
He again refused to stop and was pursued over several streets, eventually hitting a concrete median.
He then attempted to flee on foot but was eventually caught and arrested without further incident.

The arraignment hearings for Pamela Moore and Andre Paul Dupas have been adjourned until Sept. 29.
Dupas had been charged with second degree murder in the stabbing death of Josh Lequiere on May 20 and is currently in custody in Prince George. Moore was charged with being an accessory after the fact and is in custody in Burnaby.
Moore was quiet while she appeared by video link at the Fort St. John courthouse, on Wednesday. Her defence attorney, Sigrid Thompson, says Moore has been cooperative with police during the investigation and has completed a polygraph.
Thompson told the court that Moore has still not had a bail hearing which will be something they will be looking into. She added that it is still taking time to review the 3,300 pages of electronic documentation and that Moore has not yet seen the disclosure of information.
Crown Counsel Paul Swartz told the court that someone had come forward in the investigation and that information would be provided to the defence shortly.
The delays in court have been difficult, says Jim Lequiere, Josh’s father, but adds that the lengthy process is to be expected.
He says the whole City has been supportive which is making the process easier.
Josh’s sister, Brittany, says the process has been very difficult, especially knowing how much more time both cases may take to go through the court system.
Lequiere’s family members say they will be at all court dates for the two accused, including if and when Moore applies for bail.

Speed-skater Denny Morrison joined local dignitaries on Wednesday, as the City unveiled two pieces of Olympic memorabilia at the Enerplex.
Morrison, who won a gold medal in the team pursuit at the Vancouver Games, is currently in Fort St. John to help coach an Elks speed skating camp. During a break from skating, he joined Mayor Bruce Lantz to pull the black curtains away from two pieces of art now gracing the walls of the Enerplex.
The two pieces - a torch used during the cross-country relay and a painting created during the Fort St. John relay event - were framed and hung on the walls near the facility’s concession.
“Having the memorabilia is an excellent reminder of all of the hard work that went into the Olympic torch relay, both here and elsewhere” says Mayor Bruce Lantz after the unveiling.

Lantz says the Enerplex is just entering its second full season of ice and the City is only just beginning to see the versatility of the building, pointing to the speed-skating, hockey, and figure skating camps all currently underway.
He also says that, while the facility was built primarily for ice-sports, the City aims to open it up to other uses, including classroom space, trade shows, and summer sports camps.
Latnz also said that he expects the third-floor running/walking track to be open “within days.”
Morrison may return to his hometown for the grand opening of the Enerplex, scheduled for Oct. 13th. The Fort St. John native says the ‘controlled environment’ of the facility will allow the Energetic City to continue to produce top-level athletes.
Lantz says he does expect more art to find a home at the Enerplex, though he’s not sure how the City will go about acquiring it. He says officials will be looking for pieces that “fit the building” and are also “symptomatic of the community.”

Credits bring infrastructure to Northeast
Credits bring infrastructure to Northeast
Tuesday, August 31, 2010
The Province is giving more than $115 million in royalty credits to natural gas and infrastructure projects.The Infrastructure Royalty Credit Program will give 16 companies credits for 21 road and pipeline projects, which is expected to help support exploration and development in the northeast.
It is also anticipated that the projects will help create development in areas that are currently underdeveloped and be a source for new jobs in the region.
Energy Minister Bill Bennett told CHNL that the province's investment should help generate more revenue from royalties.
The program gives natural gas and petroleum companies up to 50 per cent of a project’s costs through royalty deductions if they invest in road and pipeline infrastructure. However, companies are required to fund the entire project on their own and only receive the deductions when a project is finished.
The current projects were chosen due to their potential economic benefit to the province.
In the past six years, the program has awarded more than $485 million to these types of projects which led to the completion of 71 road projects and 83 pipeline projects.
New garbage bins in effect Wednesday
New garbage bins in effect Wednesday
Tuesday, August 31, 2010
Roll out those garbage bins.
On Wednesday, Fort St. John will begin its new garbage initiative with the new bins that have been distributed to residences around the City.
Residents are allowed to fill the bins with as many bags as they want, as long as the lid shuts.
The bins hold approximately three full garbage bags, but if anyone requires a second bin, Don Demers, the City's director of public works, says they are available at a cost of $75 plus the annual $120 pickup fee.
One new feature of the bins is a barcode that corresponds to a specific address.
The barcodes mean if a bin goes missing and city workers find it elsewhere, it can be returned to its proper address.
The bins are expected to cut down on messes made by animals that tear into garbage bags that are placed on the curb. Furthermore, garbage collection times will decrease around the city as the trucks will pick up the bins and dump them into the truck without a worker having to leave the truck.
Anyone who has not yet received a bin should contact public works at 250-787-8150.

Site C protest moving to Victoria
Site C protest moving to Victoria
Monday, August 30, 2010
The fight against the Site C dam is heading to the Provincial Legislature.
The ‘Paddle to the Premier’ will be taking place on Sep.19 with a paddle along the Gorge Waterway from the Selkirk Waterfront to Victoria’s inner harbour.
The Wilderness Committee is working in conjunction with the Peace Valley Environmental Association and Treaty 8 to put on the event.
The Paddle to the Premier is going to bring the dam issue to the attention of B.C. MLAs, says Sandra Hoffman, co-ordinator of the Peace Valley Environmental Association.
The event will help raise awareness about the impact the proposed dam would have on all B.C. residents, says Tria Donaldson, the Pacific Coast Campaigner with the Wilderness Committee.
The event will include several notable speakers such as David Suzuki, Grand Chief Stewart Phillip of the Union of British Columbia Indian Chiefs, and Susan Howett from the B.C. branch of the Sierra Club of Canada.
Two days before the event, a First Nations leadership summit will be taking place in Fort St. John. Those who are from affected communities will be getting together to draft a joint message to the Premier about their opposition towards the dam project.
The Province needs to look into alternatives rather than putting in another dam, says Treaty 8 Tribal Chief Liz Logan.
Despite the controversy surrounding the proposed Site C dam project, it is currently in Stage 3 -the environmental review - of a five step evaluation. According to the BC Hydro website, if the project passes the regulatory review phase, the dam should be completed and generating electricity by 2020.
