––––––––––––––CHETWYND – Frank, Nic and
Seb are a long way from home.Pedaling into the TLC Thrift
Store parking lot on Wednesdayafternoon, they lean their heavytouring bikes, stock-piled withseparate tents, water, camp sup-plies and an unused, gifted fishingrod against the building. Theirlarge piles suggest it may be timeto unload a few items.
“We don’t want to know howmuch we’re carrying,” saidNicolas Provenzani.The 29-year-old amigos are
childhood friends cycling fromAnchorage, Alaska to their home-town Altagracia Cordoba,Argentina.“Friends from childhood. Same
city, same school, same girlfriends.We share everything,” saidProvenzani, with a laugh.They agree such a thing as a per-
fect time exists and allowed their
trip to take shape.“We are single, no kids, no job,”
said Sebastian Espina.Espina flew with Provenzani
from Argentina and rendezvousedwith Francisco Camara inAnchorage on July 7, 2012.Prior to leaving, Provenzani
closed his travel agency businessso he could have this adventure.“It was a wealthy business, but
there are things that can’t wait,”said Provenzani.

The freebie fairy won’t solve the debt crisis
You're reading anewspaper edito-rial. That's a
hopeful sign. Althoughit means we're onlypreaching to the con-verted: the people who
really need to read thisare too busy gawking atphotos of a naked PrinceHarry, or OMG-ingabout `Chavril' (look itup - or better yet, don't).There's no nice way to
put this. We're becomingshallow.Not all of us, of course,
and even shallow peoplecan be kind, generous,loving and good. But ifthe media we surroundourselves with is any indi-
cator, many of us care a lot- too much - about verysilly things.From pollution to the
economy, medical care tocyber-security, the worldis getting more complicat-ed at an exponential rate.As near as we can tell, theresponse of most people isto give up. Retreat.Cocoon with technology,secure in the false beliefthat hearing about some-thing and registering sur-
prise, outrage or joy - "Iclicked `Like'!" - is thesame as actually being anactor on the world stage.There's nothing wrong
with fun. We like swamppeople grinning gapped-tooth smiles at us from theTV as much as the nextperson.And we agree with all
the yadda-yadda abouttechnology's power toaffect change.Except that's not what
most of us are doing withthis wonderful, digitalpower. Most of us arereading fart jokes andspamming pictures ofpuppies in tutus.If you start paying
attention, though, you geta glimpse behind the wiz-ard's curtain: The peoplepulling the strings don'talways have your bestinterests at heart, and theycertainly don't have theanswers. They're busy
playing strip billiardswith Prince Harry, or par-tying backstage withChavril. They're people.Flawed people. Theywon't save us. Manywon't even save them-selves.It's time to grow up. The
freebie fairy won't solvethe debt crisis, politicalpromises will rarely mate-rialize, and the only waythe future will be better isif we make it that way.

WHAT DO YOU THINKABOUT U.S. REP. TODDAKIN'S REMARKS ABOUT"LEGITIMATE RAPE?"
“Insensitive. In 32states the Father of arape has just as manyrights as a legitimatefather, it is a creepshow! ”
-Mitch
“He is an embarrass-ment to his party and hiscountry. He could dowith a good educationon the subject andmaybe others. Sad thingis, there are more like
him out there with thatkind of mentality, somein positions of power!Scary.”
-Deborah
“Oh this makes menauseous. He needs tobe taken out and hisparty membership with-drawn. What a rottenhuman. Obama is right,it's men trying to dictatewomen's care. It's timefor women to be able toput forth that decision orhave a party withwomen to supportwomen's choices. He'san uneducated, preten-tious pig. He needs toshove off.”
-Jessica
“ A vote for Republicanthis time around, is a
vote against Women'srights.Obama will get re
elected, He may not bethe best man for the job,but at least he isn'tRepublican.Todd Akin should be
commited, he is obvi-ously off his rocker.”

No public resistance to Site C?To the Editor,In response to:
http://www.vancouversun.com/business/Hydro+poll+shows+strong+public+backing+p r o -posed+Site/7142568/story.htmlIt is an insult to the peo-
ple of the Peace that BCHydro has concludedfrom their recent provin-cial poll that 80 per cent ofBC citizens support Site C,while also admitting that50% had never even heardof it! Of course people who
don’t live in the Peace andwho aren’t informedabout the impacts of Site Ccan be construed as sayingwe need a dam to, ‘ensureenergy supplies for futuregenerations’. Clearly, Hydro’s poll
neglected to mention thatconstruction of the damwill destroy over 13,000acres of agricultural landand 12,000 acres ofwildlife habitat.They also likely didn’t
mention that the majorityof the people of the Peacedon’t want the Site C dam.
We know the benefits ofspending time enjoyingnature and the beauty ofthe Valley; that’s why wechoose to live here. Weknow the multi-genera-tional farm families whoselivelihoods and historywill be destroyed. Weknow that we don’t wantto destroy wildlife andfish habitat that the Valleysupports. We know thatthe Peace is sacrificing farmore than its fair sharewith all the industrialactivity happening herealready. All of thesethings matter to the peo-ple in northeastern BC. Would the City of
Vancouver conduct a pollin the Peace Region, ask-ing whether it’s a goodidea to build a landfill sitein Stanley Park?Did Hydro neglect to tell
interviewees how muchtheir Hydro bills will haveto increase to support this$8 billion project? Theylikely also didn’t say thateven without Site C,Hydro’s cumulative debtis in the ten-of-billions-of-dollars range.
I wonder, in the courseof this poll, if Hydro toldpeople that earlier thisyear, Premier Clark statedthat all of the power fromSite C is needed for liquidnatural gas plants? Didthey say, “By the way, ifyou shell out your hardearned dollars for Site C,we guarantee profits forindustry?” Perhaps not.A final point: how can
BC Hydro state that thereis no public opinion resist-ance to Site C? Over 1000people from all over theprovince attended ourrecent Paddle for thePeace event in July.The vast majority of peo-
ple in BC are very con-cerned about environmen-tal issues in our beautiful-ly endowed province. Doyou really think that if thepeople of BC were fullyinformed of the issues sur-rounding Site C, that 80%would support it? Not achance.

To the Editor: A short question: Could the
Chetwynd folks imagine theAlberta boundary reaching asfar west as the Pine Passbetween themselves and PrinceGeorge? The 'have not provinces' for
years have been using theTRANSFER PAYMENT moneyto TOP UP the SALARIES &BENEFITS of their CIVIL SER-VANTS. What is left goes toeducation and Medicare.Source: Brain Lee Crawley
while he was a director of theHalifax -- Atlantic Institute for
Marketing Studies (AIMS)organization. Today he is withthe Montreal Institute. Crawleyrevealed that information whenhe addressed the audience at theCalgary Congress in 2006. Themajority Alberta crowd wereshocked to hear that story: MostAlbertans realize they are shaft-ed everyday while they remaina province in Canada.Unfortunately for Canada andits "precarious" future--the "TopUp" story was another blowbeneath the Alberta belt.This week's national news
about the 'lion's share' of trans-fer payments going to Quebec isold news in Alberta: Shocked asthey were; discovering moreabuse of Alberta's money--sim-ply adds more people to thegrowing numbers of westernCanadians that realize--for their"very survival"--they must soonabandon the Canadian Titanic.The time has long past where"rearranging the deck chairs" on
this doomed ship will save it.The growing Ontario and
Quebec debt is out of control: Acombined debt of "half a Trilliondollars == 500,000 million dol-lars"--Add the Maritimeprovinces' debt and the BC debt{$60 Billion} -- normal thinkingpeople in the west --lead byAlberta and Saskatchewan willsoon make the decision to go italone: A new nation in the westwill not necessarily include the"NDP and Liberal free loaders"on the west coast andVancouver Island. The BCrefusal to build the pipeline Ibelieve will see the BC PeaceRiver district soon abandon theBC government and move theirland and assets into Alberta. Alberta and Saskatchewan's
trump card --is -- regardless ofthe present problems in the U.S.;AB & SK can always ship theiroil and gas through the PacificNorthwest states. TheAmericans are responsible in
the first place for helpingAlberta develop their oil andgas industry; in the beginning,Ontario and Quebec were notinterested in -- investing inwestern petroleum--too riskyand expensive they said:Ontario and Quebec missed theboat on the largest industrialcomplex in the history of NorthAmerica: In those days centralCanada owned the rights to thewestern resource base, theynever thought they would losethose rights. Ontario andQuebec never got over losingcontrol of the west's naturalresources: The 1931-33 Statute ofWestminster granted westernCanadians the right to "owntheir own mineral rights". Premier W.A. C. Bennett real-
ized years ago that in order tokeep the BC Peace district a partof BC he had to build the PacificGreat Eastern Railway ( thePGE). Subsequent governmentschanged the name to BC Rail:
The fraudulent deal to sell BCrail to CN Rail was the "strawthat broke the back" of the BCLiberals-- not to mention "fraudat ICBC and BC Hydro". CNwas one of the largest contribu-tors to Gordon Campbell's elec-tion campaigns. Most of the BCConservatives I travel withbelieve Campbell and ShiftyChristie--she was his deputypremier-- ordered his attorneygeneral and a BC judge to sealthe evidence of the sale in acourt order. Shifty's familymembers are believed to beinvolved in this deal. The cor-ruption is a mile deep. The HSTand carbon tax are serious prob-lems--unfortunately they arejust 2 of two many problems,causing the Liberals to selfdestruct. Only in Canada, eh?

Whether he will returnto the shop in two years,only time will tell.“We’ll see where my
head’s at in two years,”he said.It took Camara the first
month and a half to settleinto the trip. He spent thelast four years cyclingthrough Japan. Solo. Withlittle time to breathe inbetween, he hopped a jetfrom Japan and met his
pals in Anchorage.I’m grateful for the time
alone in Japan and amhappy to be travellingwith friends now, he said.The three will spend
roughly two yearscycling home without aset agenda.“We have plenty of
time,” said Provenzani.Since July, they have
received an abundance ofgenerosity fromstrangers – food shelter,free camping and ran-
dom gifts including afishing rod.Regardless of Canadian
hospitality, these three areracing against bitingwinds, which blowrumours of winter. Theycan’t wait to hit the tropics, and land on a beachsomewhere in Mexico,they say.“Big headwinds yester-
day,” said Espina.“It’s a huge country,
but beautiful,” saidProvenzani.
They arrived inChetwynd Tuesday andleft Wednesday hoping toreach Prince George inthree days.Loaded down with
gear, they don’t debatethe necessity of eachpacking separate tents.“We need our own
space,” said Sebastian,suggesting this is thesecret to preserving nearlythree decades of friend-ship.

BC Hydro is upgrading homes and businesses with new smart meters. Moving to a more efficient, modernized grid will help us meet the growing demand for electricity while continuing to deliver safe, reliable power throughout the province.
Here’s what you can expect:
Typically, meter installation will take place Monday to Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. PST.
Meter installers will have BC Hydro and Corix logos on their trucks and uniforms, and photo identification badges.
You don’t need to be home, as long as we have safe and clear access to your meter—please remove any physical modifications that prevent a meter exchange.
In most cases, the exchange will take less than 10 minutes.
You will experience a brief power interruption, in most cases it will last 60 seconds.
For more information about the smart meter installation process, visit bchydro.com/smartmeterinstall.
WE’LL BE IN CHETWYND, EXCHANGING THE OLD BC HYDRO METER ON YOUR HOME WITH A NEW SMART METER.Submitted

–––––––––––––– CHETWYND – When
Amy Meyer presented infront of council on behalf ofthe Chetwynd CommunityGroup on June 12, it wouldstart a series of lettersbetween the District ofChetwynd, Tembec andconcerned members of theChetwynd Communitygroup.The battle to preserve
Sandy Lakes area frombeing logged continues.Calling it a necessary recre-ational and trapping area,the community group hasattended council meetingsthroughout June and July,while corresponding toTembec and asking theDistrict to take an intereston the community’s behalf.They hope to protect the
Sandy Lake area includingthe historic mail trails fromlogging. Meyer also addedthe importance of preserva-tion lies in finding uniquegeographical kettle forma-tions, which are landdepressions from glacieractivity over many years. The community group is
hoping to make Tembecand the Ministry of Forestsaware of the importance ofpreserving Sandy Lakes,which has acted as a recre-ational area for nearly 40
years.In June, the group asked
council to write to theRainforest Alliance andTembec stressing the valueof Sandy Lakes.At that time, council
reviewed the group’sreport.With Tembec’s doors set
to close in September,Sandy Lakes could have ashot at being preserved.However, there is nothingstopping another companyfrom obtaining the samepermits to log the specificcut block.
“Again Tembec insists onlogging and our position isno logging on this tiny area,three per cent of their annu-al harvest. The question isdo they support the com-munity,” said GeorgeKalischuk member of theChetwynd CommunityGroup.On July 16, group mem-
bers Norm Sawchuk, DavidSawchuk and Kalischukreceived a letter from ChrisMcDonell, manager ofAboriginal and environ-
mental relations forTembec.McDonell’s letter provid-
ed a follow up toMcDonell’s and TroyHromadnik’s visit to theTembec forestry block atSandy Lake on May 29th. Due to the perseverance
of Chetwynd communitymembers their concernswere “bumped-up” andreviewed earlier than usual,suggesting that Tembechopes to resolve the matteras soon as possible.Sawchuck, a longtime
resident of Chetwynd, hasspent decades trappingover the 25,000 hectares inSandy Lakes area and stilltraps.McDonell acknowledged
the trapper’s rights in BC to“harvest fur bearing ani-mals in the trap line territo-ry.” The flip side however, is
Tembec’s permit under theForest Stewardship Planpossess “rights to harvesttrees subject to terms andconditions.”“Recently some attempt
has been made to consultfrom a logging bias. This iscompletely unacceptable,”said Kalischuk.McDonell wrote the next
step is for the trapper andforestry company to meet,hear the concerns and dis-cuss a fair agreement.

• Chetwynd Echo: May 15 1974 •
A mass of steel and debris is all that remains of the east section of the ChetwyndHotel following an early morning fire on Thursday. Customers and registeredguests were evacuate shortly after the fire alarm at 1 am. Smoke and flames spreadquicly and within three hours, the bar lounger and restaurant section were demol-ished. The newer section built in 1964 housing offices remains standing but is ex-tremely damaged. Cause of the fire is still under investigation.

When school beginsanew, students are oftenexcited about seeing theirfriends again and spend-ing time with classmatesthey will be learning along-side all year. Though whoa student sits next to inclass is important to stu-dents for one reason,teachers have differentmotives behind classroomseating arrangements.Classroom layout plays
a role in how studentslearn, concentrate andbehave. Before the schoolyear begins, teachers mayestablish a seating andlearning environmentunique from other classes.Throughout the school year, adjustments may be
made in the best interestin children.According to Scholastic,
oftentimes elementaryschool-aged children learnbest when they're allowedto move throughout theclassroom. Learning sta-tions that allow such
movement have becomemore popular in class-rooms. One station maycater to auditory learning,while another may featuremanipulatives that is idealfor students who thrive bylearning with tangibleitems. Computer stationsare also common, and this
variety of stations breaksup the monotony of onetype of learning by keep-ing students interestedand engaged.Some teachers prefer to
arrange desks in differentfashions depending on theteachers' teaching styles.The design of long rows ofdesks all facing the front ofthe classroom is notalways practical for stu-dents or teachers. It canbe difficult for teachers tosee students in the middleor the back of the room,while students may find itdifficult to concentrate onlearning if they're staringat the backs of otherclassmates' heads.Common desk layouts
include grouping a fewdesks together to face oneanother for collaborativelessons. Some teachersprefer a "U" or circle layoutto encourage discussions.Students prefer different

be wise to create differentscenarios inside of theclassroom. An isolatedcubicle or desk shieldedby bookcases can be agood retreat spot for achild who likes quiet forpersonal study. Other stu-dents like to study andwork together, so a roundgroup table may be theideal place for them togather. The classroomneed not always be bright-ly lit for learning either.Teachers can think aboutusing different types oflights to set up nooks inthe classroom to facilitatelearning.Hard seats, hard desks
and the same locationover and over can some-times be uncomfortable.Teachers with novel edu-cating styles may prefer toswitch environments fromtime to time to keep stu-dents' minds engaged.For example, they maytake science lessons out-side for children to learnfirst-hand about nature oranimals. A trip to theschool's theater or all-pur-pose room may be betterfor a language artsassignment, such as act-ing out a play. Studentsfrom the same grade may
swap classrooms withanother class so they ben-efit from a different teach-ing style and environment.Sometimes teachers putall students together for agroup lesson to exchangenew viewpoints.Some designers and
architects also have viewson how classroomsshould be designed. In2011, the Laboratory forVisionary Architecture,with offices in Sydney,Stuttgart and Shanghai,designed a concept forthe "classroom of thefuture." It's a prefabricatedand portable classroomunit that integrates intothe landscape whileenhancing the learningenvironment. The materi-als are cost-effective andsustainable.Classroom environ-
ments may once havebeen about rigid rows ofdesks where all eyes werefocused on the black-board. But today teachersand innovators have real-ized the benefits ofswitching things up to tapstudents' learning poten-tial. From the use ofsmartboards and comput-ers to the rearrangementof seats, variety in theclassroom is often advan-tageous to students.

Attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder, or ADHD,affects between 5 to 8 percent of school-aged childrenand between 2 to 4 percent of adults, according to theNational Resource Center on ADHD, which also saysthe condition is characterized by problems with atten-tion, impulsivity and overactivity. Once known asADD, ADHD has a very strong neurological basis.While there is no known cause, researchers nowbelieve heredity plays a significant role. In instanceswhere heredity is not a contributing factor, ADHDmay be linked to problems during pregnancy, prena-tal exposure to alcohol and tobacco, premature deliv-er, low birth weight, and postnatal injury to the pre-frontal regions of the brain.

Most of you willremember yourintense feelings
of sadness and sympathyfor the victims, and evenfear for our own millworkers, on hearing thenews of the explosions ofthe Babine sawmill inBurns Lake and theLakeland sawmill inPrince George – tragicevents of just a few monthsago. Following thedestruction of the
Lakeland mill, I participat-ed in a conference calloriginating from Canfor’shead office that linked anumber of sawmill execu-tives with northern electedofficials. Lakeland wasfresh in our minds and wewere hopeful that wewould be given someunderstanding of the riskshanging over othersawmills in the region. Todate the cause of the disas-ters has not been unequiv-ocally identified, butsawmill operators areworking closely withWorkSafe BC to eliminatepotential flash points.During that conferencecall, I requested thatChetwynd Council be
scheduled for a tour ofCanfor’s Chetwynd opera-tion. We felt a need to seefor ourselves the environ-ment to which our millworkers go each day asthey earn their bread andbutterDuring the past week
Council with our CAO andEconomic DevelopmentOfficer toured the Canforand CFI mills. We camefrom our tours with a greatappreciation for the twoplants that are so vital tothe livelihood of our com-munity. We walked outinto the sunshine withenormous respect for theskill and integrity of themill management. Andwe came back to our own
work with renewed confi-dence in the operationsthat support hundreds ofour neighbours andfriends.From the log intake to
the strapped bundles oflumber destined for worldmarkets, we saw it all. Wesaw the professionalism ofthe workers and derivedconfidence from the waythey remained on taskunder the scrutiny of big-eyed tourists. Logs,round, lumpy, and barkywere reduced in just sec-onds to smooth boardsgrade-stamped and bun-dled for market. Woodwaste – bark, log ends,broken chunks, sawdust –was carried efficiently to
its destination and it wasobvious that the efforts tocontain and redirect fugi-tive dust were working. (Ieven ran my fingers overseveral flat surfaces to testthe level of collected dust.) Our guides were candid
with their appraisal of thework they were doing toreduce potential hazardsand were pleased thatCouncil took an interest intheir work. For our part,we recognize that we arenot the experts in hazardreduction in sawmills butwe do care that the opera-tors are taking their rolesseriously and are movingtoward eliminating haz-ards that are now recog-nized.
We should not be sur-prised that the topic is stillvery much alive on theprovincial scene. It wasjust this morning, August21, that CBC Radio wasinterviewing workers whoexperienced the Lakelandexplosion. We are thank-ful that Chetwynd hasbeen spared, and trust thatcontinuing vigilance willcontinue to spare ourworkers and our commu-nity from the pain that oth-ers still feel.

DAWSON CREEK– An article pub-lished in The Province last week says theformer Hells Angels affiliate found guiltyin April of manslaughter, has had hisappeal dismissed. 31 year old RyanRandolph Holden received a ten yearprison sentence for the June 2007 fatalshooting of 60 year old Kelly Roney out-side a pub in Dawson Creek. That sentence was reduced to two
years after he was given credit for pre-sentence custody. However, not satisfied with that, he
then appealed the sentence, instead seek-ing time served with probation. Heargued the sentencing judge failed togive adequate consideration to rehabilita-tion and other mitigating factors, includ-
ing his four-year pre-trial custody, andhis mental illness.Now, in a ruling released yesterday,
B.C. Court of Appeal Justice ElizabethBennett dismissed the appeal.During trial testimony, it was revealed
that prior to the shooting, Holden andRoney had been rivals in the drug trade,here in northern B.C.In 2007, Holden saw Roney's car out-
side Rockwell Pub in Dawson Creek, andwent home to get his rifle. Once back out-side the pub, Holden shot Roney in theheart, disposed of the weapon, and fledthe province. He was arrested in SaultSte. Marie, Ontario more than twomonths later.A spokesman for the Hells Angels has
denied the two were ever associates withthe motorcycle club.

Creationism not good to teach children: Bill NyeQMI AGENCY––––––––––––––
Scientist and children’stelevision personality BillNye, in a newly releasedonline video, panned bibli-cal creationism andimplored American par-ents who reject the scientif-ic theory of evolution notto teach their beliefs totheir youngsters.“I say to the grownups,
’If you want to deny evolu-tion and live in your worldthat’s completely inconsis-tent with everything we’veobserved in the universethat’s fine. But don’t make
your kids do it,’” said Nye,best known as host of theeducational TV series “BillNye the Science Guy.”The video, titled
“Creationism Is NotAppropriate for Children,”was posted on Thursdayby the online knowledgeforum Big Think toYouTube and had nettedmore than 1.3 millionviews as of Monday.In it Nye said widespread
public doubt in the scientif-ic concept of evolution —which holds that humanbeings and all other formsof life developed from a
process of random geneticmutation and natural selec-tion — would hinder acountry long renowned forits innovation, intellectualcapital and a general graspof science.“When you have a por-
tion of the population thatdoesn’t believe in (evolu-tion) it holds everybodyback, really,” he said.According to a Gallup
poll that surveyed 1,012adults in May, 46 percentof Americans can bedescribed as creationistsfor believing that God cre-ated humans in their pres-
ent form at some pointwithin the last 10,000years.Education advocates
have argued for decadesover what children shouldbe taught in public schoolsin regard to the formationof the universe, life andhumans.The U.S. Supreme Court
ruled in 1987 that requiringbiblical creation to betaught in public schoolsalongside evolution wasunconstitutional as a viola-tion of the FirstAmendment separationbetween church and state.
In April, a law waspassed that protects teach-ers in Tennessee who wishto critique or analyze whatthey view as the scientificweaknesses of evolution,making it the second state,after Louisiana, to enableteachers to more easilyespouse alternatives to evo-lution in the classroom.Nye said that while many
adults may believe in cre-ationism, children shouldbe taught evolution inorder to understand sci-ence. Absent a grasp ofevolution, he said, “You’rejust not going to get the
right answers.” And hecalled evolution the “fun-damental idea in all of lifescience, in all of biology.”Teaching children the
building blocks of scienceis essential for the country’sfuture, he added, saying,“We need them. We needscientifically literate votersand taxpayers for thefuture.”Nye’s popular show, pro-
duced by Disney’s BuenaVista Television, aired fromSeptember 1993 to June1998 on PBS and was alsosyndicated to local televi-sion stations.
