Downtown DC mental health drop in centre vandalized

Rob Brown Managing Editor

A downtown mental health support centre is the latest victim of vandals and destruction in Dawson Creek.

“We’ve been located in the down town core for over 30 years with little to no incidents up until this past year and a bit,” says coordinator at On Our Own, Tammy Lockhart.

“My staff member arrived to work Wednesday morning at 5am to see the front door glass smashed in. There was no other damage to our centre other than my office door slightly damaged by a failed attempt to get in.”

The thieves were able to gain access to the building, which houses many other businesses and vital programs. This is the second break-in to the building this summer.

“The staff and patrons that are a part of our most vulnerable population in Dawson Creek, have faced multiple verbal and violent physical assaults this year by individuals in our streets,” adds Lockhart.

“The threats don’t just happen on the streets, they end up on our door step or in our place of operation. The centre that has served as a safe haven for our individuals, has been threatened and violated. These senseless crimes have not only affected our community financially, but emotionally- by taking our peace of mind and sense of security in our homes and businesses,” she adds.

A town hall/open house is slated for 6 to 8pm on Sept. 21 at the Ovintiv Events Centre, Co-op Mercer Hall to discuss downtown crime.

“Hot” topic: Pouce Coupe fire services survey offers ‘no service’ option

Fire chief Blair Deveau says he hope anyone with comments or concerns attends.

The village currently has a survey on their website that also went out to residents this week considering four options for fire services – including full cancellation.

The options are:

1. No service

2. Attending to exterior fires only; not authorized to enter buildings

3. Attending to exterior and interior with many regulations.

The Village of Pouce Coupe is circulating a survey for residents with options to choose for cutting fire services in the village.

The village is hosting an open house next week looking for ratepayer feedback about the survey, and fire services in the village.

Councillor Dani Veach says the issue has been a burning topic of discussion of council for the better part of a year.

“We’re looking for community to come out and support the hall and department, and let us know what they want from village fire services, and if they have any concerns.”

4. Full-Service Operations Tier 3 (Level 3)

The Pouce Coupe fire department is currently a FullService Operations Tier 3 (Level 3) which includes extinguishing fires in the area, protecting life and property in the event of fires in the area.

This includes assisting and protecting people in the event of a road traffic collision and rescuing and protecting people in the event of other emergencies.

The open house is slated to run from 7 to 9pm on Sept. 20 at the Pouce Coupe community hall.

Social prescribing largely exists to ll in healthcare treatment gaps. For example, loneliness can cause stress, which can eventually affect sleep, nutrition, and physical health.

But if you tell your primary care provider, “I’m lonely,” they may not be able to offer much in the way of immediate care.

That’s when a community connections worker steps in. They can provide information on where you can get specialized support if you struggle to meet basic wellness or social needs on your own.

Cops for Cancer tour kicks off from Dawson Creek

Tour de North has grown on the strength of dedicated riders and caring communities from Prince George to Prince Rupert, and from Dawson Creek to Williams Lake. Over the past two decades, Tour de North has raised over $3.5 million for children and families living with cancer.

RCMP put the pedal to their mettle last week - touring a trio of Mile Zero schools before heading to Taylor and seven days of Peace Region cycling for cancer awareness.

Paramedic Jamie McPherson says Cops for Cancer focuses on childhood cancer fundraising to that children and youth can attend camp while also getting

chemotherapy and radiation treatments.

“This started all in 1994 in Edmonton and now is throughout western Canada and into Ontario,” McPherson says.

Dawson Creek RCMP Cst. Matthew Yu has been with the detachment for a couple years and is riding in his second tour.

“A couple years back we were only able to do local rides so it is good to get back out on a longer tour,” he says.

This year marks the 21st Cops for Cancer Tour de North.

Peace bond for antimasker

An Alberta man who gained notoriety for a confrontation over COVID-19 policies at a Dawson Creek grocery store last year has been sentenced.

Kevin James Johnston was given a one-year $1000 recognizance after an allegation of assault in provincial court on Sept. 6.

Johnston is also under conditions to not go within 50 metres of the No Frills in Dawson Creek and to have no communication with store owner David Krane.

Johnston was charged March 25, 2021, after he live-streamed his confrontation with No Frills staff while buying soap without a face mask, against the store’s policy. He had been in the Mile Zero city for a rally against COVID-19 mandates and restrictions at the time.

Johnston and his entourage were asked several times to leave the store while filming, and the altercation eventually spilled out into the store’s parking lot.

During the incident, Johnston claimed he was assaulted by Krane, and said he was making a “citizen’s arrest.”

VOTING DAY REGISTRATION

There is no need to pre-register to vote as the registration of all electors for this election will take place at the time of voting.

• be a resident of the City of Dawson Creek on the day of registration; and

• not be disqualified under the Local Government Act or any other enactment from voting in an election or assent voting and not otherwise disqualified by law.

Brenda Ginter Chief Election Officer

RCMP were called to the disturbance, where officers promptly arrested Johnston instead.

Johnston was sentenced to jail in Ontario last October for hate speech and contempt of court, according to CBC.

He was also sentenced in Alberta last year for inciting his followers to defy COVID-19 public health measures, the broadcaster reported.

Wednesday town hall for Mile Zero business owners to discuss downtown crime

Save the evening of Sept. 21 to talk about Dawson Creek crime in a town hall setting.

With a series of break ins and ongoing vandalism to businesses downtown Dawson Creek, owners and stakeholders are calling for an open house/town hall.

“The business community has asked the Chamber of Commerce host a town hall regarding the increased number of incidents and criminal behaviour happening in the downtown core,” says Chamber CEO Kathleen Connolly.

She adds concerns about the Snow House, the Nawican Friendship Centre’s bed/ injection site, the new BC Housing complex, and concerns about loitering and other related issues are being discussed by stakeholders and more.

“We are hearing many rumours about these facilities

and clarification is needed from Northern Health, elected officials and of course strategies to manage and mitigate these issues going forward.”

The City of Dawson Creek recently noted they were dealing with a serial planter and flower vandal throughout the summer of 2022.

The event is slated for Sept. 21 at the Co-op Mercer Hall at the Ovintiv Events Centre from 6 to 8pm.

“Everyone will have an opportunity to speak to your role in ensuring a safe community for all,” says Connolly.

“We will allow question and answer with the public but of course will outline our expectations for a respectful and safe discussion for all.”

If you are looking for thousands of books at discount prices – or are looking to get rid of a handful of your books stacking up – this is the week of the Friends of the Library Book in Dawson Creek.

“We are accepting book donation for this year’s sale,” said library officials. No need to call, just bring books in good condition to the library during business hours.

The book sale goes September 22 to 24 with proceeds going back to the Library.

B&T takes it to the next generation

Second generation ownership.

B&T is keeping business in the family.

After 37 years of serving Dawson Creek, Brenda and Terry Sewell have sold their business to their daughter, Corey.

The store has made many changes over the years going from B&T Whiteware (1985), to B&T Ceramics & Crafts (1992), to B&T Gifts (1999). The store is now officially named B&T Dawson Creek.

Corey Sewell has been working in the store full time for nearly two years now, and doesn’t plan on making any major changes.

“In the past two years we have implemented a loyalty points system, added a youth clothing section, an art activity section and nearly doubled our ladies clothing section. I’m excited to grow and make small changes to the store

and the products we carry,” Corey says.

The heart of B&T has always been the Christmas season and, with that being her and her son Nathan’s favorite time of year, the tradition of going over the top at Christmas will continue. The store boasts over 25 decorated Christmas trees for a complete store transformation.

You will likely still see Brenda and Terry around the store helping out from time to time.

“We would like to thank the residents of Dawson Creek and surrounding area for their continued support over the years, and hope that they embrace our next generation. Our customers have stuck by us in good times and bad and we treasure the friendships we have made - so many of them feel like family.”

DCSS junior girls volleyball ready for season

Rob Brown Managing Editor

When it comes to the 2022 season – DCSS Junior Girls volleyball team expects to be competitive this year.

Coach Terri Spencer says the team is beginning their season this weekend with a trip to Prince George.

“Their hectic schedule begins with weekend with the College Heights tournament,” she says.

North Peace will host a tournament mid October, while the DCSS Junior Girls will host a tournament of their own Oct. 28/29.

Regionals are shaping up for Nov. 5/6, with zones to follow. Top three teams head to provincial play come end of November.

“It should be a very competitive year – with little time off,” says Spencer.

About the weekend, Spencer said it was amazing.

“We lost our first match to North Peace in three sets, winning the first, losing the second, and then losing a close third. We finished out pool play with wins over PGSS and College Heights which placed us in 2nd in our pool,” she says.

“Our crossover was a match-up between us and College Heights (B team) which was a fairly easy win. We advanced to the semi-final, which ended up being against PGSS - we had a strong game and win to put us in the final game against North Peace! It was a great match up - our teams are both strong and each have different strengths.”

The team took the first set quite easily, with a 2516 win. North Peace took the 2nd set, 26-24 and we lost the 3rd set 15-11.

“The girls played great for our first tournament of the season. The draw was a bit tricky for us as we ended up playing the quarter final, semi-final and final game all in a row with no breaks.”

Tyler Schmidt was named “Player of the Tournament” for our team. Lillian Moore from NPSS was named the same for NPSS.

BOOK REVIEW: The String Quartet

Editor’s note: Every once in awhile, I throw out invitations to send me books. One day earlier this year, ‘The String Quartet’, arrived in the mail.

- Rob Brown

The story is the thing. The first half of The String Quartet is a slower, paced-out jog and change, with some stops along the way for meals, and more. The last third is a mind-melding mix of great pace and storytelling, top flight turns, and mixes. I get I am dealing with a translation here.

Last 100 pages are excellent. First 180 should be cut by 60 or 70 pages. Leaner and cleaner. Meaner.

I always prefer an opening with a cut into a scene midstream – not the set-up of a la The Canterbury Tales.

My issues are not tough with The String Quartet – the first half is dense dense dense. Formatting is sometimes non-existent on the page. Hit return.

For example - when it is two-hander scene –you don’t need to say and show and tell who is speaking each line. The words do it. The vocal performance of the two characters talking will do it.

Oh so torn. Most runs need a cut. But yet, this is great. The table of contents has me hooked. Strikes me as a solid piece of literature. A couple characters established – okay. Now who here is the smartest?

80 pages in – the work is all too much reflective. Get off the horse of set up and questions, and drive the car.

Dense text. Dense presentation. Dense worry. Dense story. Dense pages. Very Kubrickian.

Sometimes for a novelthat is not the end of the world.

The second half sees the voice more deductive, less didactive, more of a finger grip lock on the wild stallion of the story.

The voice is not unrelatable, still almost unsure – but not the characters though. The characters all start strong – then become lost in the middle.

After an intriguing start and the author has set up the world – so bring on the presentation and plot. The author seems unsure trying to figure it out a bit.

I enjoy that a bit – but here is it overpowering , it seems always there for the first half of the novel.

Shift to the second half and the build to the ending …is great.

Part II is a revelation. Still needs a translation cut. But it is not a go nowhere.

Once Jos Langens’ The String Quartet slaps to the plot, the pace, and read and all pick up in a great, runaway train way.

The musicians and author aren’t playing the paper anymore, they’re in the pocket. The ending is building up to a Revival or Cell type Stephen King vehicle.

Solid. Didn’t see this ending nor climax coming. 40 pages to go. It picks up in plot language, mechanics, and writing. Tighter. Nice.

I do love and appreciate when genres slam together. You have two, three, or four on the end of this one.

A great ending.

Langens lands the tricky, tricky plane he took off in. Once the story gets to where it is going - it is truly original and impossible to see coming.

The Invitation – a slick, classic haunted house movie

A great Gothic opening.

We then cut to the here and now, and a more modern story viewers are familiar with. Haunted house with some shining old school pastiche and scares.

A modern day – hangout horror picture that begins to ramp up 25 minutes in with final cleaning rounds of the staff in the gothic mansion.

Great turns by Sean Pertwee play another Alfred Pennyworth-type (in look only) Butler of a Wayne-ish manor.

Once the story gets moving, the film can rely on movie scare tactics, and jump cuts for some work. Song used

in the Shining gets a bit of a needle drop and viewers are set for the ride.

The play for the third act (of four) turns into a play – with the scenes and long talking. The action picks up as the secrets of the house and the staff are revealed.

Combination of those 1950s and 60s haunted mansion movies, and the nouveau Jordan Peele modern wash and polish. A professional and proficient movie rolling into October.

Playing this week in the Creek.

Fort Nelson writer shortlisted for CBC literary prize

Fort Nelson author Kerissa Dickie has made the shortlist for the 2022 CBC Nonfiction Prize.

Dickie is one of five finalists for the $6,000 grand prize award, which also comes with a writing residency at the Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity.

Her story, Seh Woo, My Teeth, is an excerpt from a forthcoming memoir, according to CBC Books — “a love letter to my grandmother,” as Dickie describes it.

As a finalist, Dickie has received $1,000 from the Canada Council for the Arts, and her submitted work published on CBC Books.

A statement on the CBC Books website shares, “Kerissa Dickie is Dene from Fort Nelson First Nation, a community across the river valley from the town of Fort Nelson, B.C. Her passion for writing was stoked while helping create a book of stories by residential school survivors in her community.

“Afterwards, she immediately enrolled at the University of Victoria to continue to hone her craft. She won a national writing award just before graduating with her BFA that brought her to Ottawa.

The winner will be announced on Sept. 22.

A can’t-miss holiday side dish

Side dishes are just as important to a holiday meal as the main course

Side dishes are just as important to a holiday meal as the main course. It’s perfectly acceptable to o er a few new and unique dishes on your holiday table, but guests likely will be expecting some tried-and-true classics as well.

Green bean casserole is a staple of many holiday dining tables. Alongside mashed potatoes and candied sweet potatoes, green bean casserole is a beloved holiday recipe — and it’s easy to make as well. This recipe for traditional “Green Bean Casserole,” courtesy of Campbell’s®, can hit the right tone for guests who want a taste of holidays past this year.

Green Bean Casserole

Serves 6

1 can (101⁄2 ounces) Campbell’s® Condensed Cream of Mushroom soup or 98% Fat Free Cream of Mushroom soup or Condensed Unsalted Cream of Mushroom Soup

1⁄2 cup milk

1 teaspoon soy sauce

4 cups cooked cut green beans

11⁄3 cups French’s® Fried Onions (divided)

Heat the oven to 350 F. Stir the soup, milk, soy sauce, beans and 2⁄3 cup onions in a 11⁄2-quart casserole. Season the mixture with salt and pepper.

Bake for 25 minutes or until hot. Stir the bean mixture. Sprinkle with the remaining 2⁄3 cup onions.

Bake for another 5 minutes or until the onions are golden brown. Variations: This recipe can be customized as one sees t. Double up the amount of condensed soup if you desire a wetter casserole, or change the avor by selecting a di erent avor soup variety, such as Cream of Asparagus. You can add grated Parmesan cheese or shredded cheddar if you want a cheesy option. Some people prefer to use French-style green beans instead of the thicker cut variety.

Alternate cooking method: The traditional recipe has you cooking the casserole in the oven. However, if you have a large enough toaster oven, you can cook it in there to free up oven space; otherwise, prepare the casserole as directed in a slow cooker and cook on low for around 3 to 4 hours, until tender. Then add the remaining onions and transfer the casserole to the oven to crisp up for 5 minutes. (Check that the slow cooker crock is oven-safe; otherwise, spoon the mixture into an oven-safe dish for the nal baking and serving.) HL22A328
