Worker sparked oilpatch 'incident'

Details are trickling in from the province's worker safety regulator about a Nov. 17 "in-cident" in the oilpatch that has led to an investigation of a Fort St. John-based pipeline

construction and mainte-nance company.

A spokesperson for Work-SafeBC confirmed Wednes-day that the agency was in-vestigating a worker safety incident involving a pipeline contractor at an ARC Re-sources facility in the South Peace. Trish Knight-Cher-necki, the spokesperson, said initial reports didn't reach WorkSafeBC until last Tuesday.

Candoo Oilfield Services was being questioned for the length of time it took to report the incident,vshe said.

While the incident “involved a propane tank,” Knight-Cher-necki said, investigators did not have any additional details as of Thursday.

However, she said the in-spectors were unaware of any injuries, adding that the investi-gation is ongoing.

Karen Nielsen, ARC Re-sources’ VP of operations, said a worker accidentally sparked a

barbecue propane tank stored in an enclosed space on site. She said a “small

explosion” left the man with some minor burns to his face.

The man was wearing a fire resistant balaclava which limited some of the injuries, she said. The employee was sent to hospital as a precaution and has since returned to work.

The contractor believed they had reported the incident to the correct authorities, Nielsen said. The length of time between the

incident and the report to Work-SafeBC could lead to “or-ders” from the safety regulator, Knight-Chernecki noted Thurs-day, though she could not clarify whether any penalties would be attached to those orders. “It was more of an issue of the length of time it took them to report to WorkSafe,” she said.

“When it’s not reported right away, we don’t know about it.”

Staff at the South Peace Community Resourc-es Society hope a ribbon campaign will encour-age men to speak up about violence against women.

SPCRS is organizing a White Ribbon cam-paign as part of its annual remembrance cer-emonies for women who have been victims of violence. The Canada-wide campaign was first launched in 1991, following a 1989 incident in which a shooter killed 14 women at École Poly-technique in Montreal.

"Wearing a white ribbon is a pledge by a boy or a man to never commit, condone or remain silent about violence against women," said Ste-fan Pavlis, a manager at SPCRS.

Ribbons are available for free at a number of local businesses, as well as North-

ern Lights College. The campaign runs through Dec. 10.

SPCRS will also hold a memorial service for women "whose lives ended in an act of gender-based violence" at 7 p.m. on Dec. 6 at the Unit-ed Church.

Jane Harper, the executive director of the Society, said between 70 and 90 per cent of instances of violence against wom-en go unreported. That includes rapes, sexual assaults and spousal or partner abuse.

High-profile allegations of abuse in both gov-ernment circles and at the CBC have pushed the issue into the forefront.

"We're hearing it everywhere," said Harper. "All these women haven't reported, and that's part of the issue."

In the last 83 years, the Daw-son Creek Athletic Association (DCAA) has been a staple in the community of Dawson Creek.

Last Wednesday, the DCAA got together for the organi-zation’s 83rd Annual General Meeting and as become cus-tom over the last several years, handed out three awards to community activists involved in sport at the Bear Mountain Ski Lodge.

The first, named the Earl Johnson Memorial Award, was given to a volunteer in Daw-son Creek Minor Hockey Asso-ciation for their efforts over the

years and contribution to the game.

This year the award was presented to Gene Cooper, a coach in the organization for more than 20 years.

Cooper said he was sur-prised to hear that his name was put forward for the hon-our, and spoke after the pre-sentation about why he has stayed involved in the game for so long.

“I was really shocked to know that I was going to be receiving this honour— abso-lutely,” he said. “The one thing that I would really like to do is thank my wife, for allowing me the time to do it— but it’s the passion to try and bring a

group together and become successful… and that to me is where the passion is for me.”

Alvie Shearer, president of the DCAA said that the deci-sion to present Cooper with the award was an easy one after the awards committee received the nomination from the DCMHA.

“He’s been involved in hock-ey here forever, he probably played minor hockey here,” Shearer said. “Minor Hockey brought his name forward with a little bio and we looked at it… He’s contributed a lot to minor in this town… and that’s where that award goes, if you’re giv-ing back, we’d like to recognize you.”

DCAA hands out hardwarethe Brian McPherson award, and was given to business in the community that supports youth sports and sporting or-ganizations within Dawson Creek.

Shearer explained during the presen-tation that he believes there isn’t a sport that happens in town that does not get support from the award winner Joe Loo-mis Trucking.

Lindsay Loomis, who was on hand to accept the award said that the reason her business chooses to help out in so many sports throughout the commu-nity comes down to a commitment to employees and their families.

“I think because of all of our employ-ees, they all have kids. Our own kids are into something. We know how hard it is being part of other clubs and organiza-tions and how hard it is being part of other clubs and how hard it is to raise money,” she said. “So when we can give a little bit that makes somewhat of a difference or gets people involved— it makes a difference.”

The third award was the Sam Wilson

‘Athlete of the Year’ Award and in 2014 the recipient was Jerrett Arndt.

The award is annually given to ath-letes who have accomplished some-thing of merit at the provincial level.

The 26-year-old power lifter re-cently competed in the UBC Thunder-bird Powerlifting Challenge held in the southern part of the province and was named the top performer overall along with capturing a provincial record in his 93-kilogram weight class.

Arndt told the Alaska Highway News of the performance at the time: “I actu-ally wanted to beat my previous bench in contest, which didn’t happen be-cause I got flagged. I did the lift but I was flagged on technique,” he said. “The deadlifts were actually bigger than I ex-pected to be able to do. I just took a shot at it because it was my last lift of the day. I was actually pretty happy about that.”

Participating in only his second meet, Arndt said when he arrived he found some motivation in the records that were posted.

“They had the records posted so that’s kind of what I was gunning for. I was pretty excited though because it’s pretty hard to make your lifts in a meet they are very strict with form and every-thing,” he said.

Over the phone on Monday the pow-erlifter said he was surprised to know his name was put forward for the award

and that he is being recognized for his accomplishment.

“I was pretty psyched about it. I was pretty proud of that,” he said. “I was just shocked when Wayne [McIntyre] phoned me up. But it’s a pretty nice award to receive.”

Airport traf�ic could quintuple: Hawkair CEODawson Creek's airport could handle "between �ive and seven thousand people" a month

without major infrastructure upgradesJonny WakefieldStaff Writer

The president of the airline taking over service from the Dawson Creek Regional Airport believes passenger traffi c could quintuple without major infrastructure upgrades.

While on a tour of the aircraft mainte-nance hangar at Northern Lights College Wednesday, Hawkair president Jay Dilley told Alaska Highway News that Dawson Creek’s airport could move “between fi ve and seven thousand people” a month – up from the one to 2,000 monthly passen-gers the airport currently handles.

On Dec. 1, Hawkair took over full ser-vice to and from the Dawson Creek air-port from Central Mountain Air. (Hawkair already operated the route on behalf of CMA.)

Since Hawkair announced they would take over for CMA last month, the airline has fl oated the idea of add-ing a second daily Vancouver fl ight, with possible new routes to and from Calgary

and Edmonton if there's demand, Dilley said.

"We can move an absolute ton of people through this airport without any real big changes to the runway," said Dilley. "There can be changes or modifi cations to the boarding lounge, that kind of thing, but we're not talking about earth shattering, big things."

That runs counter to the "if you build it, they will come" attitude many cities have about their airports, he said.

"We're bad as an industry at getting people to make investments, and once the infrastructure and investment are there, we may not utilize it," he said. "I would not want a community to go out and make a huge investment and then fi nd out that, well, no, we're not going to use it."

At a roundtable with elected offi cials and industry executives last week, Ter-race, B.C. was held up as an example of an airport where a runway expansion was not one hundred per cent neces-sary.

In 2005, Terrace extended the aging runway at the Northwest Regional Air-port by 1,500 feet in hopes of attracting new carriers and larger planes.

That airport's longest runway is 7,500 feet, compared to Dawson Creek's 5,000 foot tarmac.

Carman Hendry, the airport manager in Terrace, said the larger jets have yet to materialize, but that overall traffi c to the airport has increased.

The original goal was to "entice more airliners to be able to fl y into the airport to service the community," Hendry said, adding "we haven't seen larger jets, but we have seen more aircraft coming in."

The airport now has fi ve carriers (Hawkair is based out of Terrace), and averages 21,000 passengers a month.

He believed the airport is well posi-tioned, should oil and gas companies decide to invest in upstream liquifi ed natural gas projects in the area.

Terry McFadyen, the councillor who has been Dawson Creek's point person on airport issues, said he would likely sit down with Hawkair in the new year to see what upgrades would be worth con-sidering.

Improved aprons and a hangar are possible upgrades, he said.

"We'll be sitting down [with Hawkair] and asking what they need and what they can offer," McFadyen said. "[Dil-ley] says he has equipment and crews to put on more fl ights, it's just a question of where to." [email protected]

MCCParties come in many forms, from intimate dinners

with professional colleagues to boisterous backyard gath-erings with family and friends. Although celebrations can be especially lively with kids in tow, certain occasions call for an adults-only affair. Coordinating a child-free party is not diffi cult, but it may require a certain measure of fi nesse and a little extra planning.

* Provide ample advanced notice. In addition to ac-counting for jam-packed calendars, giving advanced notice enables parents and other caregivers to arrange for babysit-ters on the day of the party. Keep in mind that sitters may charge $10 and up per hour, so plan the event accordingly so that it can be an affordable party for those guests who require the services of a sitter.

* Hire a bartender or delegate the work to one person. Alcohol is a part of many adults-only affairs. A spirit-ed drink or two can loosen up nerves and make it easier for

guests to mingle. But excessive alcohol consumption can lead to unruly behavior and land hosts in legal hot water if guests get out of hand. Bartenders may stretch your bud-get, but bartenders can monitor guests’ alcohol consump-tion and halt service if necessary. Be sure to have other beverages available for guests who do not want to partake.

* Plan for designated drivers or other transportation. As a host, you are responsible for your guests, and that includes ensuring they make it home safely. In addition to monitoring behavior and alcohol consumption, you will need to arrange for a ride home if a guest is too impaired to drive. Keep the phone numbers of various cab services on hand and make advanced arrangements with guests who agree to carpool and act as designated drivers.

* Arrange for entertainment. Although many adult parties can be successful with just music and mingling, plan for games or other entertaining activities to guaran-tee guests have a good time. Activities can be tied into the theme of the party. If your’s is a particularly musical crowd, a karaoke or sing-along may make the night more memorable or hire a band or disk jockey to keep guests on their feet throughout the night. If the crowd is unlikely to cut a rug, hire another type of entertainer, such as a magi-cian or palm reader, to amuse guests as the evening wears on. Popular yard games, like volleyball, bean bag toss or horseshoes, also may be fun when hosting an outdoor party.

* Be specifi c on invitations. Unless clearly worded, guests may assume the party is open to children, particu-larly if you’ve thrown parties with both kids and adults in the past. When addressing invitations, include only the names of the adults invited on the envelope. If you are sending electronic invites, you may want to specifi cally state that this is an adults-only party. Be polite and state, “Adults only, please” or “Please arrange for a sitter.”

* Cater to adult tastes. When only adults are in at-tendance, you can experiment with foods and fl avors that are more mature. Seafood or more expensive items are often acceptable for adults-only parties. Quiche and exotic cheese can replace the chips and nuggets of children’s parties.

Certain occasions call for adults-only parties. Make

the most of time spent with friends and family and plan an event that is seamless and enjoyable.

Local Reflections

BYRON HACKETT PHOTODawson Creek Junior Canucks goalie Josh Round steers away one of 26 shots he faced on Friday night in a 2-1 win over the Fort St. John Huskies at the North Peace Arena. Round won first-star honours after holding tight despite facing an extended 6-on-4 opportunity.

If they recorded hits in the North West Junior Hockey League, some-body would have had a tired hand trying to keep up with all the bodies banging around last Friday night at the North Peace Arena.

In a tough and physical match-up, as it almost always is in the “battle of the Alaska Highway,” the Dawson Creek Junior Canucks (8-5-0-2) topped the Fort St. John

Huskies (5-8-0-0) 2-1 on the Hus-kies’ home ice.

Canucks head coach Eric Fulton said after the game that his team was able to grind out the win de-spite not bringing their best effort to the Energetic City on Friday.

“I don’t think we played that great,” he said. “I thought we played pretty scramble-y (sic), but we did what we needed to do to win – and those are always good when you don’t always deserve it. I thought they played a better game than us.”

Fulton added that the two groups constantly competing against each other throughout the years fuelled the heated matchup, which saw 54 penalty minutes be-tween the two teams.

“These guys all grew up playing against each other. We get some guys from Chetwynd, they get some guys from Chetwynd ... everybody

knows each other,” he said.“I talked about it on the way up

here: it’s always more fun to beat your friend than an enemy.”

Goalie Josh Round earned first-star honours for the Junior Canucks – and maybe more importantly, the pink hard hat awarded by the head coach for the hardest-working player of the game. He made 25 saves Friday night.

Round said post game that his job was made easier by his team-mates’ willingness to get in shoot-ing lanes and clear away rebounds in front of the net.

“The guys played well,” he said. “They blocked shots when it really counted. They took away some op-portunities that would have been a really big save, so you can’t ask for much more than that.”

Cody McManus opened the scoring for the Junior Canucks with just over a minute remaining in the first, forcing the Huskies to chase the game from the outset.

Classifiedsthe Jr. Canucks move into third

BYRON HACKETT PHOTODawson Creek Junior Canucks defenseman Tyler Graham drives around Fort St. John Huskies defenseman Daylen Pearson to give the visitors a 2-0 lead midway through the game Friday. The Ju-nior Canucks went on to beat the Huskies 2-1 at the North Peace Arena on Friday night.

Continued from Page 12minutes the teams traded

blows – something Fulton said wasn’t in the game plan, but always seems to come out in the rivalry matchups between the two sides.

“I think it just went that way,” he said of the physical-ity throughout the game.

“Both these teams, every time we play it’s a good game. It was physical tonight – lots of big hits. I like watching that. Both sides came to play hock-ey and it was good to watch.”

The Junior Canucks man-aged to pull further ahead at the 12:10 mark of the second period on a gorgeous end-to-end rush by defenseman Tyler Graham, who scored his first goal of the season.

The Huskies struggled to find any offense for their fifth straight period, after being blanked against Beaverlodge last Saturday, and not finding the mark in the first and sec-ond on Friday.

It wasn’t until the opening minutes of the third period that team-leading goal scorer Cayle Bell jumped on a loose puck at the bottom of the fa-

ceoff dot and put it high over the shoulder of Round to give the Huskies some life in the third.

The Huskies pressed in the final minutes but couldn’t crack Round, despite an ex-tended 6-on-4 opportunity.

“I think that we don’t need to squeeze our sticks,” Hus-kies assistant coach Todd Al-exander said of his team’s of-fensive woes.

“We have a pretty good of-fensive hockey club. I see it in practice every week. We were doing a lot of stuff where we are ahead of last year, and for whatever reason we can’t get it into a game. Like I said before, as a coaching staff we need to step up and figure out how to get out kids in the right posi-tions on the ice.”

Then, on Saturday, the Ju-nior Canucks played the third of four straight road games, earning another win against the Sexsmith Vipers, also by a score of 2-1.

`The C’s will face the final road test of the four-game set this Saturday, Dec. 6 in Grande Prairie.

� ere is nothing worse than being ill or in pain, and not knowing the reason why. Countless trips to the Emergency Room at all hours of

the day, trying to explain to a doctor where it hurts and to rate it from 1-10, valuable time spent in the waiting room or laid up on a stretcher, missing work or school as they look over lab tests and x-ray results…

And then hearing the dreaded news of “ we need to send you for more tests.”

� e Dawson Creek and District Hospital o� en uses a fundamental tool in the diagnostic process called a CT scanner. It is an x-ray machine that produces 3-D images that can give the radiologist and doctors a very detailed “picture” of what is going on in your body. � e very � rst CT scanner was purchased with the hard work of the Hospital

Foundation and generous donations from the community in 1998. It has been replaced twice since then, and now we have an opportunity to purchase a state of the art so� ware upgrade, which would in essence,

give our diagnostic imaging department a “new CT scanner”.

� is CT so� ware upgrade will enable higher quality images, all the while decreasing the radiation dose to the patient. Wouldn’t it be wonderful for us to have a better diagnostic tool that not only

produces clearer images, but also is safer for our patients?

Please � nd it within your heart to donate this holiday season to the Dawson Creek and District Hospital Foundation. You will be

contributing to an amazing opportunity for not only the diagnostic imaging department, but also for the community that it helps to

diagnose and treat every day of the year.”
