Job Search Board

The survey regarding employ­
ment opportunities in Tumbler
Ridge identified a need for current
job listings to be posted in a specific
place within our community. Those
who discussed the results of the
survey at the November Community
Crossroads Meeting suggested that
the job listings be posted at the
Chamber of Commerce building
which is the location of the Human
Resources Development "Job
Information Centre" and automated
job bank.
Local employment counsellor,
Donna Dockendorff of Employment
Plus, volunteered to put up the post­
ings. Since December, Donna has
updated the listings daily. The job
listings include any local listings
that are available and also employ-

ment opportunities in BC and
Alberta. In addition, Donna has
compiled a binder which is a broad
range list of oil and gas, mining and
pulp and paper companies in BC
and Alberta.
Updating the job board on a daily
basis is quite a commitment and
finding people who are willing to
help with the task has been difficult.
If you can volunteer 3 hours of your
time one or two days a week, call
Donna Dockendorff
Employment Plus, at 242-4025.
This is a great way to help your
community and to find out where
the jobs are.
The automated job bank is avail­
able to the public from 9:00 AM to
5:00 PM, Monday to Friday and is
closed from 12:00 - 1:00 PM daily.

In Just Six Days,
Snowarama Riders will
make a Difference in the
Lives of B.C.'s Children
with
Disabilities
Snowarama '97 is on the horizon.
In just a few days, snowmobile rid­
ers from will take their machines on
local trails and hills to raise money
for B.C.'s children with disabilities.
It is a ride of adventure and com­
passion that has raised more than
two million dollars since 1978.
"The countdown is on and we're
that close to the starting line," said
local Snowarama chair Ron Ford.
"But we need a few more pledges
and a few more riders to come out
Feb. 8 at 9:00 AM to help us reach
our goal of making Snowarama '97
the highest fundraising year yet."
People who make a minimum
$10 donation to a Snowarama rider
automatically are entered into a
draw to win a trip for two to Reno,
Nevada. Every $10 donation will
be entered before the draw is made
in April, 1997. Riders who choose
to gather pledges and participate can
win valuable prizes from Arctic Cat,
Polaris, Ski-Doo and Yamaha.
Of course, the real winners are
B.C.'s children with disabilities. All
money collected during Snowarama
will help fund several Lions Society

of B.C. programs to help give chil­
dren abilitiess. Snowarama raised
slightly more than $150,000 in
1996. The biggest fundraising focus
for riders are the Easter Seal Houses
in Vancouver and Prince George,
where more than 9,000 children and
families stay each year to receive
treatment, diagnosis and extended
care at nearby hospitals.
"Everyone should consider this a
personal invitation to eitehr bring
their machines along and ride with
us to raise funds, or to make a
pledge and then come enjoy the day
with us," said Ford.
"It doesn't matter if you belong
to our local club or not - everyone is
invited to take part in this exciting
and fun event and to help raise
money."

Local private employment counsellor Donna Dockendorff of
Employment Plus, volunteers a couple of hours each weekday to
update the job listings at the Job Information Centre located at the
Chamber of Commerce building. Out of work? Want to know where
the jobs are? Call Donna at 242-4025 and volunteer your time to
update the job listings.

Editorial
by Kathy Cope
Slow down! I can't get out of you
way! That was my comment to a
driver coming up the hill on
Northgate the other day. Of course,
he couldn't hear me, as we worth
both in different vehicles and it is
winter-time. But, I was stuck at the
corner waiting for someone to come
out of the parking lot at the
Community Centre and he was
coming up the hill and in a very big
hurry.
After the accident Monday morn­
ing on Willow, where a young girl
was hit by a vehicle (and the vehicle
must have been going very slowly,
as the child was not seriously in­
jured). I thought that this might be
a good time to remind everyone to
drive slower. And be aware of
those walking, something I have
been doing a little more of lately. A
lot of driver seem to barrel along,
without paying any attention to
those trying to cross the street.
Especially when it is so called out,
you should be even more aware of
those shivering in the cold, trying to
cross the street (and by the way they
do have the right-of-way, you are
supposed to let them cross).
Something I noticed that seems to

be lacking at the School Zones.
This winter we have had a lot of
snow. Most people will acknowl­
edge that fact. Although it is not by
any means an inordinate amount,
nor was last year (despite comments
to the contrary), we actually haven't
hit a peak any higher than 1990
(365.3 mm). But, what we have not
had, and have had in every year that
I can remember, is a chinook to take
some (if not most) of the snow
away. So that every flake of snow
that has fallen this winter is still sit­
ting there on the ground. Making it
hazardous to drive, slick when the
weather and vehicles warm up the
road surface enough and then it
freezes again. Hard to see over the
piles at the end of your driveway, or
the school grounds, etc.
Please take it easy, give yourself
and everyone else more time, slow
down and watch for the slick roads,
sidewalks, etc. Especially let the
children have more time when they
are cross the streets, going to school
(they do slip and fall, or tend to play
on their way). Slow down! And as
the old saying goes, 'we can have
the pleasure of talking to you, in­
stead of about you!'

YOUTH ALCOHOL & DRUG SURVEY RESULTS ALARMING!
On January 16, 1997 an open fo­
rum was hosted at our high school
to review the results of the recent
drug and alcohol survey, completed
by 1721 students in the district rang­
ing from grade 7 through grade 12.
The majority of questions were de­
vised by youth themselves, as the
point of the study was to determine
what youth believed and saw with
regards to alcohol and drug use in
their community.
In Tumbler
Ridge, grade 7 students were not
surveyed. The 243 responses sub­
mitted by our students represents
approximately 67% of the estimated
school population at that time
(Feb./96).
Specific results from Tumbler
Ridge sees students identifying the
following points:
1. Tumbler Ridge has the highest
percentage of students who say they
have ever used both alcohol and
drugs.
2. Tumbler Ridge has the highest
percentage of students who say they
attend bush parties often or very of­
ten.
3. Tumbler Ridge also has the
highest percentage of students who
say they do not consider bush par­
ties safe places to party.
4. Tumbler Ridge has the highest
percentage of students who say that
their parents do not know they at­
tend house or bush parties.
5. Tumbler Ridge has the highest
percentage of students saying they
used fake I.D. to get into bars un­

derage.
6. Tumbler Ridge students report
lying to their parents about alcohol
and drug use significantly more of­
ten than students from other towns.
7. Tumbler Ridge students most
often use their allowances to buy al­
cohol and drugs rather than money
earned from work.
8. Tumbler Ridge has the highest
percentage of students who think
there is an alcohol and drug prob­
lem among teens in their commu­
nity (72%).
The initial public forum on Jan.
16th to discuss the survey results
saw in attendance the following
panel members: Drug and Alcohol
Counsellor Clarence Longmore,
three representatives from the
Family Support Society, Sergeant
Dodds and Constable Prosser from
the RCMP, Dr. Brian Morgan repre­
senting the physicians in town.
Ministry of Children and Families
representatives Sharon McLean,
town Councillor Jim Corkan, parent
representative Margaret Shelley,
student representative Amanda
Way, T.R. Secondary School prin­
cipal Al Johnson, a number of other
school representatives, Dennis
Miller, EFAP, and Gertie
Brzezinski, Mental Health.
Shannon McKay, who organized the
public forum, reports that approxi­
mately 30 community members also
were in attendance.
General parent and professional
responses to the survey results

and the need to develop an action
plan that would make the healthy
kids/ healthy community theme
more real for Tumbler Ridge than
presently seems the case. Panel
members met the following morning
and by the end of the 3 hour
meeting, committed themselves to
pursuing this issue as members of
CAAD (Community Against
Alcohol and Drugs). As the name
suggests, action is to be a commu­
nity response. This of course will
involve getting information out to
the community and surveying both
student and parent response to the
survey results.
Questions to Parents

yes no
1. Are the results of this survey
real fro you and your children? ___
2. Would you attend a public
meeting, whose purpose would
be to share information and de­
velop solutions?

CAAD urges all of you to take a
minute to answer these two ques­
tions, and, at your earliest conve­
nience, to drop your responses into
boxes located in the Health Centre,
Shop Easy and community Centre
entrances.
CAAD will meet again on
February 24th/ 97. These survey re­
sults are essential in determining
overall community response and
support regarding the development

of a preventative and corrective ac­
tion plan.
Watch for follow up articles on
parent response and questions
coming from our initial forum on
January 16th.

Sneak Peeks at

Cyndy Lorincz, and Margaret

store for the future.
NAIT (Northern Alberta Institute
of Technology) and NLC (in
Dawson Creek) are looking at an
agreement wherein NLC graduates
of the cook training program will be
able to transfer into 2nd year of the
NAIT program. They are hoping
that the agreement will be signed by
this Spring. Another agreement re­
cently signed is with Fairview
College and GPRC (Grande Prairie
Regional College) to share pro­
grams, facilities and faculty.
Another program, AME, has re­
ceived an endowment of $11,000
from August Lehmann, two students
per year with benefit from this en­
dowment through bursaries.
SWAT - System Wide
Advancement in Technology will be
helping electronically to benefit
students in the classroom.
Webpage - homepages connect
students (and those interested in be­
coming students) www.nlc.bc.ca
soon you will be able to file your
application electronically.
The College also has something
to gloat about. A study done of
grads has found that out of 86 key

Pre-School - Ages 32 months to 5 years
Daycare - Ages 3 to 5 years with 2 spaces for
30 months to 36 months $2.50/hr

indicators NLC qualifies with more
1st, 2nds and thirds than any other
institution in BC. Not saying that
there isn't room for improvement,
(but still they do have an enviable
record.)

Margeret Jerke, Prior Learning
Assessment, coordinator. She can
help you get credit for all your work
experience, volunteer work, certifi­
cate courses, etc. All experience
that you have attained, could get
you closer to that goal of receiving a
College credential.
All colleges across BC are part of
this program. This can shorten the
time, and cost, of your education.
The belief being that all learning is
learned, no matter how you go
about getting that learning.
Councillor Dall asked what day's
Margaret Jerke will be in Tumbler
Ridge. She replied that she sched­
ule appointments flexible at the
campus in TR. Weekends, evenings
whatever is necessary. Or drop in
when she is in town, her schedule
will be posted. Everyone has skills
that they have learned, whether
formally, or less formally through
volunteer work, teaching kids, etc.
And these skills can be transferred
to a formal record for your future
education.
