Joint review panel snubs Hazelton By Percy N. Hébert Smithers/Interior News
It’s a move that has most people scratching their heads. The National Energy Board joint review panel, hearing public comment on Enbridge’s proposed Northern Gateway pipeline project, has relocated hearings scheduled for July 30, to Smithers from Hazelton. “This is the kind of thing that continues to taint the whole process,” Stikine MLA Doug Donaldson said. “It’s an insult and further erodes public trust in the review process.” The joint review panel cited instances of unrest in Hazelton, as the reason why the panel would convene in Smithers rather than Hazelton. “There are a number of documented issues of conflict within the community including a
blockade of an office building in Old Hazelton,” Manager, Communications Operations with the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency, Annie Roy said. “Given the current community unrest in Hazelton, the panel is concerned with providing a safe and secure community hearing venue for the participants.” Although the joint review panel referred to the unrest in the plural, they only specifically mentioned the recent blockade of the Gitxsan Treaty Society offices by the Gitxsan Unity Movement. Nathan Cullen, MP Skeena-Bulkley Valley, isn’t impressed with the reason behind the joint review panel’s decision. “They’re [JRP] just accusing the whole community and by extension the Gitxsan of being violent,” he said. The Gitxsan Unity Movement and the Gitxsan Treaty Society are both perplexed by the decision, especially considering the blockade at the
GTS offices was peaceful. “We (Gitxsan Unity Movement and supporters) are a respectful, non violent group and proved that throughout the six-and-a-half month blockade of a disrespectful Treaty Society,” GUM spokesperson John Olson said. “Staff Sgt. Pelley, of the New Hazelton RCMP is on record saying we are a peaceful group of people. “We will stand up for our rights and way of life, in a peaceful, respectful way.” Donaldson echoed the views expressed by Olson. “To suggest otherwise [the Gitxsan are not violent] is an insult to the Hereditary Chiefs, the host municipal councils, the treaty society and all residents,” Donaldson said. “The review panel should reconsider their decision and reinstate the public hearing scheduled for the Hazeltons.” See JRP on p.

Council looking for community input By Dan Mesec Smithers / Interior News
Smithers mayor and council received two delegations last week asking them to write a letter of support for the Northwest Premium Meat Co-op as well as laying the ground work for a more inclusive design process for the 2013 Legacy Project. In the hopes of making the legacy project one everyone can take part in, Smithers council moved to open up community consultation as the design concept for the centennial project begins to take shape. “We’re currently gathering funds and moving into the design stage of the project. Today I’m here with council to discuss options for community consultation,” Legacy project committee member, Sean Mitchell said.
“I look forward to any community consultation process council brings forward and manages,” he said. So far the committee has raised $79,000 for the project and is optimistic corporate and other sponsors will make up the rest of the $314,000 price tag. With money coming from the Town as well as a Wetzin’Kwa Community Forest Corporation grant, council is eager to involve the community in the design process to make it a more inclusive project. “We want to design the park in such a way that there’s the highest likelihood people are going to use and enjoy the park we’ve created,” Mayor Taylor Bachrach said. “Last night we talked about engaging the public during the design stage of the space so people feel a sense of ownership for
it and have the highest chance of creating a vibrant, successful public space in our community.” Before the end of August, council and the Legacy Project committee will create a process in which the community can take part in designing what the final outcome of the Legacy Project will be. Currently the project is in the middle of reclamation of the site on the corner of Main St. and Broadway and is expecting the results from soil samples in the coming weeks. The Northwest Premium Meat Co-op approached council hoping to gather support as it prepares to present to the Northern Development Initiative Trust (NDI) regarding its accumulated debt, a project in which NDI enabled in the mid 2000s. NWPMC representatives asked council for a letter of
support as the project continues to grow, despite operating below 50 per cent capacity. Although the co-op is a huge resource for local meat producers, it faced its fair share of opposition during the discussion. Councillor Mark Bandstra opposed a motion to send a letter of support to NWPMC because of the previous history of the co-op and wanted to know more about the current operations before supporting the motion. “When I listened to their delegation it seemed like they have to almost triple the output to make the place succeed,” Bandstra said. “They obviously have the capacity to triple it but they haven’t been able to prove that market and so that’s my question, if you think or know the market’s there and you can

triple the volume, why haven’t you? There’s something missing here that we don’t have the answer to.” Although Mayor Bachrach removed himself from the discussion, he feels, as well as other members of council, that the abattoir is of vital importance to agricultural producers in the valley. “The meat co-op is critically important to our community,” he said. “Local agriculture is such an important part of what we do here in the Bulkley Valley. We need to come together as a community and make sure that this venture is successful. A lot of different regions in the province have lost their abattoirs and it really makes it a lot more difficult to provide local meat to a local market.”

Mayor wants Smithers to be a friendlier bike town COUNCIL from A2 Mayor Bachrach also shared comments about his experience at Velo-city Global, an international cycling and planning conference in Vancouver last month as council prepares to tackle its list of priorities. One top priority is to make Smithers a more bicycle friendly community. It was the first time the conference was held in Canada with
over 800 delegates from over 40 countries in attendance. “We had really interesting discussions on what different communities around the world are doing in terms of infrastructure and policy,” Bachrach said. “I think here in Smithers we’re going to start by striking a bicycle friendly task force that is going to look at what opportunities are here
in Smithers.” Mayor Bachrach mentioned the Fulton walk way and the possibility of expanding such paths and walk ways across town. “We’re really talking about active transportation. Which is more than bicycles, it includes mobility scooters and people walking,” he said. “It’s going to create a more kid-friendly community to help kids have safer routes

With train traffic expected to double to a million cars per year on its Edmonton to Prince Rupert rail line by 2015, Canadian National Railway is building new sidings near Moricetown and Robin Creek. Robin Creek is about 40 rail miles (64 km) south of Smithers.
Three other new sidings will be built in the Cariboo, Cedarvale, and Exstew areas. CN spokesperson Mark Hallman said the new sidings will be built longer than existing ones to handle trains up to 12,000 feet (3.6 km) long. Today, Hallman said, most trains on the B.C. North line carry containers to and from the Port of Prince Rupert, as well as

Relocation an insult to Hazeltons and Gitxsan JRP from A1 Hereditary Chief with the GTS Beverley Clifton Percival (Gwaans) described the decision to relocate the JRP hearing to Smithers as, “defamatory to the Gitxsan.� “It’s typical of how governments interact with First Nations,� she added. The decision by the NEB to have the joint review panel travel to communities potentially impacted by the Northern Gateway pipeline was to ensure local residents would have a say, recognizing people are more at ease making their oral statements in their home communities. The decision to relocate the hearings to Smithers from Hazelton goes against this important element of the joint
review panels terms of reference, Donaldson said. “Removing that option robs residents of the Hazeltons of the same type of access others have had.� The claim of unrest and conflict in the Hazeltons, to the point of posing a risk to the safety of the joint review panel, has members of the community bamboozled and upset. “I sincerely wonder what about Hazelton could be more dangerous than Smithers, Hazelton Mayor Alice Maitland said. “I also wonder if they are aware Highway 16 gives us dangerous Hazelton folks open access to Smithers where we shop, ski, swim, take our kids to
gymnastics, dancing, horse riding lessons, dentists, optometrists and many other necessities of life. “In other words, Smithers is our downtown and we have a transit bus that can take us there, we have buses and cars, so we will just be transporting our dangerous attitudes to the peaceful and welcoming streets of Smithers.� The joint review panel has kept the same date, July 30, for the relocated Hazelton session. The new location for the presentations is the Hudson Bay Lodge in Smithers. Given that some presenters may not be able to make it to Smithers, the JRP has allowed for written submissions, presentations by teleconference, or oral
presentations during another session. The NEB made a similar decision regarding JRP hearings in Bella Bella, the evening before the hearings were to start, after being met at the airport by a line of protesters on the tarmac. The protesters didn’t yell at or threaten the JRP. Eventually the NEB reversed their decision and held the scheduled four days of hearings in Bella Bella. Local politicians hope they can convince the joint review panel to reverse their decision. Donaldson said municipal, provincial and federal politicians as well as Gitxsan Hereditary Chiefs are working on a coordinated appeal to the NEB to reverse
their decision. As for the validity of the joint review panel process, Olson was blunt. “I feel that the JRP hearings are a canned process,� he said. “The Canadian government has plans, along with Enbridge, to build this pipeline no matter what.�

Phil’s Posse: Relay of honour By Marvin Beatty Smithers/Interior News
I
n November of 2008, family and friends of Phil Leroux gathered to say final goodbye’s as their father, husband, brother, grandfather and friend lost his year-long battle with lung cancer. Last May they gathered again, as they’ve done every year since 2009, to participate in the Canadian Cancer Society’s Relay for Life at Chandler Park Middle School in Smithers. The relay is Canada’s biggest cancer fundraiser and directly impacts the lives of those living with the disease. Calling their team “Phil’s Posse”, the team honoured the hard-working, unselfish, community-minded person that Leroux was, by working hard to raise money for cancer research. Michelle Golder, Phil’s daughter, said that finding the time and energy for the all-day event, comes naturally. Her father battled through 10 rounds of chemotherapy and Golder said she draws on the strength he showed when the yearly fundraiser begins. “When it’s dear to you, you put in the effort,” she said. This year Phil’s Posse raised more than $4,200 and they were just one of 26 teams that eventually brought in more than $67,000. That kind of effort was never in short supply in everything that Leroux put his energy into. The second youngest of 12 children born to Eusebe and Jessie Leroux, Phil probably learned at an early age that determination and social skills can go a long way. Described in his eulogy, given by friend Doug Kydd, as a hard-working, social, organized leader and “go-to” guy, Leroux’s life touched the lives of many people in positive ways. While his first priority was always his family, Leroux had a penchant for helping others. He was involved in coaching youth hockey, curling, softball and baseball teams, held memberships with the Smithers Curling Club and the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks. Leroux’s nearly three decade career working in the insurance business was, according to Kydd, a perfect fit as he helped people protect themselves from potential financial difficulties. In addition to insurance, Leroux also had four postings throughout B.C. as a member of the RCMP and also was co-owner of the Smithers Hotel for a period of about five years.
The Golder and Leroux families are grateful for the generous support from the Smithers community and, rest assured, they will be back for the yearly relay, until cancer is something that is talked about as something that people used to get. Inset: Phil Leroux. Contributed photos
Esther Leroux, Phil’s wife of almost 40 years, said that she and Phil had a five-year plan when they got into the hotel business. As happens with many who spend time in Smithers, the couple enjoyed the community and lifestyle here so much, they never left. No doubt Phil would be impressed by the effort put forth by his daughter, her family and all families and volunteers who gathered to help fight a diseases that touches so many people. “Cancer touches everyone,” said Esther. “Phil is one of three in his family that have died from it.” The number of cases, according to the Canadian Cancer Statistics 2012 report produced by the Canadian

Cancer Society, Statistics Canada, Provincial and Territorial Cancer Registries and the Pubic Health Agency of Canada, is startling. Over 186,000 new cases of cancer, excluding over 81,000 non-melanoma skin cancers, are estimated to occur in Canada in 2012. The disease is expected to claim more than 75,000 people this year alone. Of newly diagnosed cases, the report notes that more than half will be lung, colorectal, prostate and breast cancers. Phil’s sister Sandy Saito, is also now battling the same disease that claimed her brother. “She isn’t doing too well,” Esther said. “We just have to keep on fighting this.”

U. of Calgary tars sustainability - When money speaks the truth is silent. Proverb here was a time when universities were viewed as the hallowed halls of truth, knowledge and wisdom. All that has changed. Budget cuts have forced universities to find ways to increase revenues. One symptom of this new reality is increased class sizes that run well into the hundreds. Another symptom is the trend towards corporate sponsorship of departments or school and varsity sports teams. For example, in Canada, we have the John Molson School of Business at Concordia University, and the Richard Ivey School of Business at the University of Western Ontario. Usually these corporate sponsorships benefit the university, the students, the donors and the community. These are win-win situations. But not all corporate sponsorships bear edible fruit. For example, the Nancy Olivieri incident at the University of Toronto. Olivieri spoke out against a drug she was testing, and the testing was funded by the drug’s maker, Apotex. The University of Toronto terminated Olivieri. So much for academic freedom. Apotex and Olivieri have both sued each other. Ivory towers took another hit recently when the University of Calgary’s Haskayne School of Business teamed up with Enbridge Inc. to establish the Enbridge Centre for Corporate Sustainability. The ECCS says its focus is to, “Lead in developing and disseminating knowledge, in a meaningful and transparent way, about triple bottom line corporate practices: care of people, planet and profit.” One can only assume the University of Calgary was hard up for cash. If transparency was key, then the mission statement would have read, “Disseminating knowledge about the bottom line of corporate practice: profit.” Surely the University of Calgary was aware of the Kalamazoo, Mich. spill and the more than 600 spills attributed to Enbridge alone. The deal means only one thing. The University of Calgary has tarred its reputation, and the hallowed halls of wisdom are now simply hollow. - Percy N. Hébert/Interior News

Proposed timber plan has gorilla in closet
A
common question recently is, how can timber supply in B.C.’s central interior be increased? The alternate question, should the timber supply be increased is not asked and nothing is mentioned about the negative effects of continuing a completely unsustainable timber harvest into the foreseeable future. The Liberal Party’s forest management policies of reckless abandonment over the last decade have brought us to our knees. No timber inventories, few replanting/restocking requirements (for a
decade), doubling and tripling the sustainable harvest and underfunding/ gutting the Forests Ministry. Now we’re faced with a double tragedy, our mill burns down and our forest landscapes are in ruin. In recent public discussions nothing is said about the effects of aggressive salvage beetle kill logging and the current almost yearly flooding (past 5 years) in the Fraser and Skeena river watersheds. This is the gorilla in the closet. It shouldn’t be in the closet. The provincial government has known this for several years. In 2007, The Forest
GUEST VIEW Judy Stratton Practices Board studied Baker Creek, west of Quesnel, to see what effects the pine beetle kill and the subsequent aggressive salvage logging had on the flood risk in 2007. The study showed the mountain pine beetle kill increased flood risk by 60 per cent increasing to 92

per cent after salvage logging, representing a “major shift” in hydrology. Four more independent studies completed in 2011 came to the same conclusions. In our quest to salvage as much beetle kill as possible, we’ve set ourselves up for a catastrophic future of epic floods. Smithers, Houston, Burns Lake, Vanderhoof, Prince George, all the communities down the Fraser River and perhaps the communities that will be the most devastated in the years to come will be the Fraser Valley to Vancouver corridor. Now in a quest
to increase timber harvest in several communities to feed several mills, we’re promoting even more aggressive salvage logging around rivers and lakes, accelerating timber availability, shifting to more area-based tenures and associated more intensive forest management and increasing the level of intensive forest management. Can you imagine what the landscapes ravaged by the above aggressive salvage logging techniques and recurring 40-year floods over the next several decades will look like? What about the people who lose everything?

“They’re shutting down the only venue that people have to raise their voices.”
“I think so. Pretty much anything national will want to eliminate all the risk possible.”
“It feels that everywhere there’s most opposition, they’re cancelling meetings. It doesn’t seem there’s a real threat to safety.”
“Nobody really wants that pipeline in there, but I think whatever’s the fastest way to get it over with is probably the safest way.”
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Residents say no, Telkwa keeps spending Editor: At the Telkwa Town Hall Meeting on June 26th, residents learned the municipal offices would remain in the former milk plant building. Residents were also told major renovations would begin soon. During the Alternative Approval Process, an information package was distributed. It included a FAQ section. Question number two was, “What if the project doesn’t proceed, what happens to the building?” The answer in the
FAQ section was, “If the project doesn’t proceed for any reason, the Village Office can remain in the building with no renovations, or the building can be sold, and new options can be considered.” At a standing room only informational meeting, held prior to the referendum, members of Telkwa Council expressed their regret for the lack of public consultation. Council then stated their intent to solicit more public input in the future regarding the project. In December 2011, it was announced a Committee of the Whole meeting would be held regarding the formation of a Building Committee to address this issue. This meeting has
never been held. Over a year has passed since the AAP process was initiated. There is no Building Committee and consultation hasn’t occurred. New options haven’t been considered and the renovations are planned. Telkwa’s reserves fund is growing rapidly and it may be utilized to fund the proposed building renovations. Property taxes continue to go up in Telkwa, so as to assist in the growth of the reserves fund. In an interview with The Interior News, published November 23, 2011, Telkwa Mayor Carman Graf said he didn’t know what the Village of Telkwa would do with the
building but thought it was likely the village would do the renovations in stages over a period of time. He admitted it was an option he wasn’t happy with. “The thing that bothers me the most is when you piecemeal something it costs twice as much than if you do it all at once,” Graf said. “We might have to do that though.” Does this mean that after residents voted ‘NO’ to a $1 million village office, we might instead get
a $2 million village office without an opportunity to say ‘NO’ to? Darcy Repen Telkwa

The damages they’ve inflicted on the corporation are irreparable. Looking at the supposedly “integrated” Draft Resource Plan, the prediction for hydroelectric needs in British Columbia for the next 20 years, it becomes acutely clear there are three parallel and incompatible lines of thinking. First, BC Hydro’s mandate is to provide British Columbians with reliable and affordable electricity. Second, energy conservation continues to be the first and preferred strategy to close the gap between forecast need and supply. Third, a 50 per cent predicted increase in demand for hydroelectricity is mostly due to liquefied natural gas (LNG), specifically plants in Kitimat and Prince Rupert. Energy wasteful LNG plants, powered all over the world by natural gas, are declared, with the stroke of a pen by Christy Clark ‘green energy,” so long as it’s used for LNG plants and require electrification. Try to figure. Premier Clark must mean the same for the Enbridge pipeline which will simply hook up to existing lines. This will require a $95 million upgrading for the transmission line running to Terrace from Prince George. Shell Canada is laughing with the gift of the proposed Site C dam on the Peade River for their planned monster LNG plant in Prince Rupert. The plant will require more than 1.5 time its power. If more electricity will be needed (by those LNG plants, mining and pipeline projects), not to worry, we’ll buy it from Independent Power Producers at twice the price we will sell it to them at industrial rates. In short, BC Hydro’s mandate has shifted to subsidize wasteful greenhouse producing energy and mining projects, while keeping British Columbians busy changing their energy inefficient light bulbs.

Vandals wreck trail groomer By Percy N. Hébert Smithers/Interior News
In another example of the mindless attitude some people have, vandals targeted a snowmobile trail groomer belonging to the Smithers Snowmobile Association. “This is really disappointing,” President of the Smithers Snowmobile Association, Ron Fowler said. “This is wanton malicious damage. “There’s no reason for it.” The incident occurred between
June 3 - June 16. The trail groomer was parked in the parking lot at the foot of the Onion Mountain trail. Normally the machine is brought back to Smithers in May, but this year volunteers with the snowmobile association couldn’t retrieve the machine as per their usual schedule. Moving the trail groomers is not an easy task and requires planning and time, Fowler said. Moving the trail groomers involves finding a low bed truck and, because
the groomer is wide, a pilot car must also be secured. The trail groomer suffered significant damage, including smashed windows, mirrors, and stereo, the front blade was damaged and one of the wheel tracks was removed. “They used it as a bulldozer,” Fowler said. The vandals drove the trail groomer about a 1.5 kilometres up the trail. The preliminary estimate on the damage is $10,000, Fowler said. The Smithers Snowmobile
Association is a volunteer organization, Fowler said, with members putting in money, time and effort to enhance recreation opportunities for residents of the Bulkley Valley. In addition to the financial costs of the vandalism, the act also taxes the time of the association members, all volunteers, Fowler said. “We don’t need this,” he said. “We all have regular jobs. “This (retrieving the trail groomer) will take us a whole
weekend, never mind the cost.” The snowmobile association has raised more than $7,000 to use as reward money for information leading to the identity and arrest of the individual(s) involved in this most recent incident of vandalism. Referring to the vandalism at Twin Falls Recreation Site and the billboard signs on the highway, Fowler didn’t hide his disappointment. “There’s no accountability today,” he said. “They [vandals] don’t care. “It’s just sad.”

Bulkley Valley Farmers Market shares vision By Dan Mesec Smithers / Interior News
The Bulkley Valley Farmers Market Association held their open house last Thursday night hoping to open the lines of communication with councillors and residents in Smithers. “The open house is part of our strategic priorities and we really just want to open up communication with community leaders, local businesses and residents,” Hooker said. Hooker presented a number of items during the open house. Giving the packed room an overview of how the market has been growing over the past few years. In 2006 the BV Farmers Market had 45 registered members, now they have 90 members and counting. On average there
is about 40 to 50 vendors each week at the market including everything from local meat and vegetables to locally grown plants and crafts for all ages. The emphasise being that everything people see at the market is 100 per cent from the Bulkley Valley. This past year the BV Farmers Market also started going into schools to help students understand where their food comes from. Hooker mentioned, despite being in one of the richest agricultural zones in the province, a large percentage of students didn’t know where their food came from. The market hopes to continue social program during the next school year. Although most of the discussions were positive there was still some hesitation when trying to decide on how
to expand the market when the time comes. With the Legacy Project well on the way some think putting the market down the last section on Main Street would be ideal. However, the BV Farmers Market Association feels that the success of the market is due, in part, to it’s location next to the Central park building. Still, Hooker feels the discussion was constructive and looks forward to building a strong relationship with the community and businesses. “We feel that local business and the market are on the same side. If people are shopping locally at the farmers market they’re going to be shopping locally on main street as well. We just want to have a positive relationship with other members of our community.”

BV Museum chills summer with Hudson Bay Glacier exhibit By Andrew Hudson Smithers/Interior News
Curator Michelle Reguly says it’s no accident the Bulkley Valley Museum mounted its icy glacier exhibit in midsummer. “You can come in and cool off,” she said, laughing. Canada’s glaciers last peaked some 20,000 years ago, when 97 per cent of the country was covered by massive ice sheets. Today, hikers can get a small taste of the Ice Age by climbing the 5 km Glacier Gulch trail to Kathlyn Glacier—the focus of the museum exhibit. Reguly collected many stories about Kathlyn Glacier on Hudson Bay Mountain, beginning with the discovery of a molybdneum deposit beneath it in 1944. William YorkeHardy staked the first claims on the mountain in 1957, above a molybdenum deposit running some 200 to 800 metres below the rock surface along the southeast edge of Glacier Gulch. The brittle, silvergray metal is used to strengthen steel. To haul in supplies, miner Harvey Marko and Southwest Potash built the first trail up to the mine, which became today’s popular Glacier Gulch hike. Reguly said she heard some treacherous stories from those early mining days.
A heavy snowstorm knocked down a temporary plywood mining cabin, killing one man. Two others who tried to rescue him fell into a crevasse, but managed to escape unharmed. But the glacier is home to several happy stories as well. Last week, local residents Andy and Sherry Briggs celebrated their wedding anniversary, 26 years after Andy made his proposal on the glacier overlooking town. As well as Kathlyn Glacier, the exhibit surveys how glaciers are used around the world, including Chacaltaya, an 18,000 year-old glacier in Bolivia that is the main source of drinking water for the high-altitude city of La Paz. Chacaltaya is melting quickly, the exhibit notes, and has lost 80 per cent of its surface area since 1992. Glacial melt is a growing field of scientific study, Reguly said. “The big thing right now is the melt lakes that form on the ice sheets,” she said. “They’ll appear in three or four days, beautiful jewel-blue colours, and then all of a sudden the ice will crack and form a moulin or vertical waterfall and drain in an hour.” All About Glaciers is running now at the BV Museum, which is open from 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., Monday to Saturday

Draft trail-use plan open to review Smithers/Interior News
Outdoors enthusiasts who volunteered to draft a trail use plan for the Smithers area say the community-led process was fair and can work across B.C. But as it wraps up, many remain opposed to the plan, including the Village of Telkwa and 500 people who petitioned Premier Christy Clark to say its organizing body lacks a public mandate. Released in June, a draft copy of the Recreation Access Management Plan (RAMP) is available for public review until September 15. It covers 63 summer trails in the Bulkley timber supply area—736,000 hectares of Crown land that surround Smithers, Telkwa, Moricetown and Fort Babine. Only 17 people came to two June open houses held to launch the draft—a far cry from the divided crowd of 200 who packed the first open house in February. “I’m very satisfied with the process,” says Casey Pyper, a fan of outdoor recreation with 50 years in the Bulkley Valley. “Different groups were represented at the table, everybody had their say, and everybody listened to everybody else.” Pyper joined the 12-person RAMP table as a member of the public-at-large. Another eight joined to represent local cycling, off-roading, hiking and horse riding groups. Pyper said it’s better to get direct input from those groups rather than have a government agency try to guess what people want. As for the petition against the RAMP, Pyper said it could have waited until the draft report was done. “Everybody’s entitled to their own opinion,” he said. “But I think people should have waited,
seen what the outcome was, and then made an informed decision.” Local hunter Terri O’Neill says after reviewing who the RAMP applies to, she has good reason to oppose it. Speaking at a recent Smithers council meeting, where RAMP organizers were presenting the draft report, O’Neill said it’s unfair that the plan only applies to recreational and not commercial trail users. As a recreational user, O’Neill said if she sees a moose in an area the RAMP designates as nonmotorized, she won’t be able to harvest it. But if a guideoutfitter spots that same moose, he and his client can drive their ATVs right past her to get it. O’Neill also said many motorized users oppose the RAMP because of a perceived bias against their sport. “I find it a shame that they continue to push forward with this,” she said. “We really have to do some soulsearching here as to whether we’re doing the right thing for our community.” Before the final plan goes to the B.C. government for review, RAMP members will revisit eight alpine trails this summer to see whether they are on rocky, hard-packed or soft ground—a key factor in deciding what uses they can support. And while the draft RAMP does suggest creating a large area for off-road riders with banked turns, wet areas and steep hills, that decision is up to the province. “They’re certainly entertaining the idea,” said Bob Henderson, a RAMP organizer with the Bulkley Valley Community Resources Board. “Whether it can be done legally is apparently a problem.” To view a copy of the draft report, visit www.bvcrb.ca/ramp/.

Family, friends hold hope for P. J. Sebastian Jr. Relay guides P. J.’s spirit home By Percy N. Hébert Smithers/Interior News
They called it a Relay of Hope, hope that increased awareness of the disappearance of P. J. Sebastian Jr. would help trigger someone’s memory regarding his whereabouts. Sebastian Jr., 28, disappeared following a Christmas party south of Burns Lake. The Relay of Hope had family and friends walking from Nee Tahi Buhn, a reserve on the south side of Francois Lake, where P. J. Jr, was last seen, west to his hometown of Hagwilget, a distance of 260 kilometres. “We’re walking to increase the awareness that my cousin has been missing since December 26, 2011,” Kim Sebastian, P. J.’s cousin, said. The walk, which began June 23 and took six days to complete, was a heartfelt gesture P. J. Sebastian Sr.

Krause captures Tyhee Lake Triathlon in scorching heat By Dan Mesec Smithers / Interior News
Triathletes from across the northwest descended on Telkwa last weekend as they pushed themselves to the limit during the Tyhee Lake Triathlon that saw Peter Krause run it home on a scorching Sunday afternoon. “I was suffering a bit on the run today, not as many hours of training as in most years so I was happy to have a bit of a gap between me and the next guy so I just kind of cruised it in on the run at the end there and really enjoyed it,” Krause said of his win. Krause has participated in the triathlon for a number of years, however, he said this year the numbers were down a little bit from previous years which definitely helped towards the end of the race. Typically there’s a small group of runners competing right to the wire, but this year Krause said the warm weather slowed everything down which allowed him to cruise
across the finish line. “It’s always the run that’s the toughest,” he said. “You worry about going too hard on the bike and not having enough to finish the run. On a day like today you definitely have to slow your pace down.” Krause finished the Olympic Male Masters division with a time of 2:21:32, 57 minutes ahead of Jay Bobby in second place and Michel Marquis in third with 3:22:18. Jane Hollenberg, the sole competitor in the Olympic Female Open division blasted through the course with a time of 2:43:41, with an impressive 25 minute swim the second fastest of the day. After more than 10 years of competing in triathlons Hollenberg said although the heat was tough to deal with she was pleased with her results. “It’s really hot out so that was a bit of a challenge,” she said. Overall I think it went pretty well. This road is kind of hilly so you feel like your going much slower but

everyone’s in the same boat there.” With 36 competitors the Tyhee Lake Triathlon continues to attract athletes from across the northwest, including a team from Burns Lake picking up the firstplace win in the Olympic team division with a time of 2:16:48, just eight minutes ahead of the second place team. Alan Currie finished first in the Open Sprint category with a time of 1:32:27. Erin Hall came first in the Open Female Sprint category with a time of 1:29:00, 25 minutes ahead of Andrea Bustillo with 1:54:54. With only one competitor in the Tri-a-tri Female Open division Meghan McLellan, competing for the first time, finished with an impressive 55:11. After more than 20 years of Tyhee Lake Triathlons race director Jody Barber said it’s the sense of accomplishment and enjoyment that keeps people coming back year after year that makes the Tyhee Lake triathlon the elite competition that it is.
“Every year we have people doing the triathlon for the first time and that was the case again this year and when you see their enjoyment and sense of accomplishment they have for completing a triathlon, that’s an amazing thing,” she said. “We have high performance athletes and people doing it for the first time. It’s open to anybody and we’ll wait for anybody to finish. I think that when you get so much out of something like sport you want to pass that on, you want to give back and I want other people to enjoy that as well.”

Golfers from far and wide drive to Mr. and Mrs. tourney By Dan Mesec Smithers / Interior News
It was another outstanding weekend at the Smithers Golf and Country Club as Don and Janie Olson picked up another Mr. and Mrs. tournament shooting an amazing 144 during the two day event. “We played awesome again today,” Olson said. “We shot 72 both days. But I mean, warm weather, good company, the ball was flying good and we both putted very well so it was just an awesome weekend.” The Mr. and Mrs. tournament is one of the more popular events at the Smithers GCC, attracting couples from across the northwest and as far as Victoria. With a growing circuit of Mr. and Mrs. tournaments in the northwest Olson said it’s more like getting together with old friends than just out for a competition. “With all the Mr. and Mrs. tournaments each year you just get closer and closer and it’s just like one big happy family,” Olson said. Unable to count how many he and his wife have played, Olson feels very privileged to be
playing in such a great tournament. “It’s something you can do with your better half,” he said. “As long as you come out thinking about enjoyment first, meeting new people and just love the game of golf is why I think people love coming out.” This year’s Saturday night dinner was accompanied by a dance that had couples grooving until the wee hours of the night giving first timers just another reason to come back next year. With 58 couples participating, this tournament was easily one of the largest in recent years. According to course pro, Chris Herkel, people love coming to Smithers for tournaments, but it’s not just about the golf. “I think everyone really enjoys our golf course, it’s in phenomenal shape right now and our members reciprocate and go to Houston and Kitimat but everyone does love coming back here,” Herkel said. “It’s just a challenge for everyone and you can see just how popular it is with all the RV’s out there, it’s just a great time from
Friday to Sunday.” Although people roll in from all over to take part in the two day tournament Herkel said some just don’t want to leave and end up sticking around for a couple more days to take in all there is to do in Smithers which he says is a great way to showcase our community to outof-towners. “I think it’s great for our community,” he said. “People not only stay out here at the course but in town at hotels too. They come in to see the area, some people come in a few days earlier or stay a couple days later taking advantage of going up to the ski hill, doing some hiking so people aren’t just doing a twoday trek it’s more of a four or five-day trek they’re not just here for the golf but for everything else we have to offer so it’s a real bonus.” The Olsons picked up the overall low gross followed by Chris Courtney and Bonnie Armstrong with the overall low net shooting 120 over two days. Irv and Jackie Hemich picked up the first low gross in the A flight with a 156, followed by Derrick and Cindy Fuller in the B flight, shoot-

Minding Your Money Plan to get the most from your child’s RESP In a few short weeks your child or grandchild may be heading off to university or college for the first time. Of course you’re anxious about how successfully they will take this next big step in their life – but you are not anxious about how you will pay for it because you’ve long planned for this day by regularly contributing to a Registered Education Savings Plan (RESP). Now it’s time to start putting that accumulated cash to work – and with the right withdrawal strategies you can minimize the taxes your student will pay and get the full benefits of the Educational Assistance Payments (EAPs) that consist of the Canadian Education Savings Grant (CESG), the Canadian Learning Bond (CLB) and the income earned on the money you saved in the RESP1. Here’s how …
Avoid withdrawing contributions before your student begins school. Otherwise, you will trigger a repayment of the CESG. Spread out the EAPs over the expected length of the educational program instead of taking an all-at-once lump sum. This avoids burdening your student with a huge taxable income in the first year and takes advantage of his or her (presumably) lower marginal tax rates over a number of years. Make the right withdrawals to avoid clawbacks. You may be required to refund some of the CESG grant money if there are any earnings remaining in your RESP plan after your student completes (or leaves) their post-secondary program. To avoid a potential CESG clawback, use up your RESP earnings first.

Withdraw income before withdrawing contributions. As the subscriber to your student’s plan, you can elect to withdraw the income as an EAP in the hands of your student – and that’s the tax-wise choice because your student’s income is likely to be very low.

Be sure you’ll have the money when you need it. Before releasing an EAP, your RESP carrier will require proof of enrolment – so get that documentation to your carrier as early as possible. Take advantage of leftovers. If there are still contributions remaining in the plan after your student finishes college or university, you can use that money as you wish. Transfer it to another child’s plan or withdraw it for your personal use. An education can be expensive – and that RESP you started so many years ago is about to pay off. A professional advisor can help you make more of those good decisions that will achieve financial stability for you family and a debtfree education for your children or grandchildren. The Canada Education Savings Grant and Canada Learning Bond (CLB) are sponsored by Human Resources and Social Development Canada. CLB eligibility depends on family income levels. Some provinces make education savings grants available to their residents. 1

Smithers recreation to host BC youth sailing school By Dan Mesec Smithers / Interior News
The Town of Smithers plays host to the first ever BC Sailing Mobile Optimist Sailing School at Lake Kathlyn Beach July 30. “The sailing school is a great new addition to the Town’s recreation program,” Mayor Taylor Bachrach said. “No experience
is necessary, just a desire to have fun on the water and learn to sail.” Kids aged 6 – 14 are welcome to register and learn the basic skills needed to sail safely. As eclectic as our water sports are here in the Bulkley Valley, sailing is seldom seen. However, it is of interest for many. “In the past six years the program
has spawned over 13 community-run sailing schools in B.C. and we’re thrilled to add Smithers to the roster,” Daniel Cowan of BC Sailing said. “The response has been tremendously positive and it’s easy to see why. Very few camps today provide physical, educational, fun and safety oriented activities all at the same time. Kids as young as age six have
the opportunity to become the ‘captain’ of their own sailboats.” Seven-foot Optimist sailboats as well as two person kayaks are provided by BC Sailing during the program. With instructors trained by the Canadian Yachting Association the program promises to be a positive experience teaching not only safe boating techniques
but leadership and confidence on the water at all times. “I come from a background of teaching wind-surfing, sailing, canoeing and kayaking and I know all four of those are popular with children and teenagers,” said Recreation director, Andrew Hillaby. “I’m always looking for new ideas to attract people to our summer programs.”
“I remembered from one of the municipalities I worked for in the past that they had a provincial sailing program that traveled across the province,” Hillaby explained. “So in January I contacted BC Sailing and asked if they had the same. They said they go all they way to Prince Rupert and if Smithers would like to be part of it as well.”
Hillaby hopes the program this year is popular and wants to see a wider selection of water sport programs for next season for both teenagers and young children. To register for the BC Sailing School program, July 30 to August 4 call the Town of Smithers Recreation Department at 250-847-1600. Registration is ongoing.
Bulkley Valley Rapids U17 girls capture third at provincials By Dan Mesec Smithers / Interior News
The Bulkley Valley Rapids U17 Girls team are provincial bronze medalists, the first BV girls team to accomplish this amazing feat. “They did outstanding,” Brian Irvine said. “It’s the first girls team ever in Bulkley Valley history to medal at provincials so that’s great.” The BV Rapids have always had a strong team, however, when faced with more experienced teams from the south they haven’t been that successful in their endeavors. Three years ago the same team headed to the Lower Mainland for provincials and came away win less. The Rapids knew they needed to find their groove if they were going to have any chance at success in the future. Last year the Rapids pulled off a fourth-place finish at provincials and vowed to do better this year. With a clear vision of their goal, the Rapids trained tirelessly to better their record and the blood and sweat payed off. Not only did they pick up the bronze but they didn’t allow one goal against and tied the defending Nanaimo Impact 0-0. A rapid turn around of events to say the least. “The girls just played really smart soccer,” said Irvine. “There’s no doubt the other teams down
there have some very skilled players.” In the Lower Mainland teams typically have all year to improve and develop their skills whereas here in the north practise time is cut by more than half. To compete northern teams need to find other ways of gelling as a team before going up against tough competition. This year, was clearly different. “This was our first real tournament of the year,” Irvine said. “The girls just came together in April, May and June and are just smart athletes and ended up doing really well, they just played really good soccer.” The BV Rapids were up against some stiff competition right from the start. Taking on the Penticton Pinnacle and Vernon Untied in their first two games. The Rapids held strong on defence and fired in a couple of goals to keep them ahead. Taking on the Nanaimo Impact, the rapids knew they were playing one of the best teams in the province but managed to remain on top, forcing them to a 0-0 tie. Using aggregate scoring, the Rapids didn’t achieve enough goals to get into the gold medal round. However, they faced off against the North Shore Adrenaline easily beating them 1-0 and writing themselves into the books of provincial sports history. Proving they have what it takes to play
with the best of the best the Rapids are already looking ahead to what is possible next season. “I think there’s a chance for next year,” Irvine said. “They work really hard and they don’t make mistakes. Last year they played extremely well and got fourth so this year was to improve on that and they did, so hopefully next year we’re hoping to improve on this year’s win.” However, despite their third place triumph there’s still room for improvement. But they can’t do it alone. Development of skills is the most important aspect of their game the more they can practice the better they will play. But soccer pitches in Smithers are not always top drawer. They’re routinely bumpy and often blamed for ankle injuries. Still, Irvine says one of the toughest challenges is skill development and that requires flat, forgiving fields which Smithers is in short supply of. “The biggest challenge our teams have is they need to develop their skills in a very short season,” he said. “Our fields here are really bumpy. Down south when you make a pass it’s a true pass, it’s easy to develop your skills. Up here it’s a real challenge for these girls to develop their skills and they are, but we need to work on the conditions of our fields so we can improve our skills.”

He continued to say to accomplish this it will require a commitment from both the
community at large and the Town to ensure our athletes have the best possible tools
to develop their skills and continue bringing home the hardware. Irvine is scheduled
to present a delegation to Town Council on the subject September 11.

Volleyball duo return to BC Summer Games as coaches By Percy N. Hébert Smithers/Interior News
The last time volleyball players Teresa Monkman and Kelli Maskiewich returned to Smithers from the BC Games they had gold medals hanging around their necks and smiles as wide as the Bulkley Valley. That was 1979 and it was the first ever BC Games and volleyball was played at the Winter Games, but today, Monkman and Maskiewich go to the Summer Games as coaches for the North West zone girls volleyball team. Returning to the Games as coaches was an easy decision, a matter of giving back to the community. “It was simply that Kelli and I were keen to create an opportunity for Zone 7 girls to participate, so we signed up for the job,” Monkman said. Monkman and Maskiewich have played volleyball together since 1979, including stints with the Smithers club team and the University of British Columbia. More recently, the pair returned from the US Open Championships in Salt Lake City with a bronze medal in the 45 and over category. When asked, both Monkman and Maskiewich named Fred Jackson as the one coach that nurtured their love of volleyball and shaped their careers. “He was the critical element in Smithers being so successful in volleyball in those earlier years,” Maskiewich said. “It was his commitment to the sport that created a large number of women skillful enough to play volleyball beyond our high school years. “He taught me that if you’re willing to invest the time and willing to embrace the instruction, your potential is probably much greater than you imagined. “He was an absolute difference maker in my life, I will be forever grateful.” As they head off to Surrey, Monkman and Maskiewich carry a gearbag full of memories from their first visit to the BC Games, memories of friendship and of course the competition. “I do remember that was the first time I had ever flown on a plane,” Maskiewich said. “I think my favorite memory was winning the gold medal, beating the Vancouver Island team in the final at my first provincial competition. “It was the small town of Smithers against the much larger centers and we won!” As coaches of the Zone 7 team, Monkman

and Maskiewich want to inspire their players just as Jackson did, to provide them with the framework and the instruction to take their game to another level. More importantly, Monkman said a top priority was to help their players develop friendships, friendships such as theirs, born of the love of volleyball, of sport, that will last a lifetime. “I think we’ve already accomplished the goal the girls becoming good friends with people they otherwise would only compete against,” Monkman said.

Suzuki approach brings tunes into sync By Dan Mesec Smithers / Interior News

Smithers to crown first Rodeo Queen By Andrew Hudson Smithers/Interior News

Peanut settles in San Diego By Andrew Hudson Smithers/Interior News
It’s one small step for a man, one giant leap for a rodent. Peanut, a 10-weekold beaver who was orphaned by a bear attack in Prince George, is now safe and sound at San Diego SeaWorld. Peanut was first rescued by a couple phoned the Northern Lights Wildlife Shelter, near Smithers. That’s where Laurie Conrad, a SeaWorld bird curator, picked up Peanut on July 5 for a two-stage Jazz Air flight down to California. “It’s a little farther than we normally go, but we work with shelters all over,” Conrad said. SeaWorld rescues between 150 to 200 marine animals every year, she added, mostly California sea lions. They also rehabilitate a few hundred sea birds each year, primarily brown pelicans that either get blown off course or injured by fishing gear. While Conrad has flown on passenger planes with other species, usually penguins, her flight with Peanut’s was her first with a beaver. Peanut, who may be male or female, got a few extra laps in the swimming tub at Northern Lights to ensure a relaxed flight. Too young to fly in the cargo hold, Peanut had to get special permits from Jazz, Air Canada, U.S. and
Canadian officials to fly in a kennel with the rest of the passengers. “We’re going to keep a low profile,” said Conrad before the flight, noting that she would keep a blanket over Peanut’s kennel to keep the animal and fellow passengers calm. Now in San Diego, Peanut is getting veterinary check-ups and taking 30 days away from any crowds to adjust to its new lodge at SeaWorld. When fully grown, Peanut will likely weigh about 50 lbs. Conrad said Peanut will join SeaWorld as an animal
ambassador—a program where handlers speak to the public about animal protection and conservation efforts while giving them an encounter with creatures they are unlikely to see up close. Correction: In the July 4, page A9 Interior News story, “Northern Lights shelter opens its doors,” a photo caption mistakenly said part of a $140,000 Aviva community grant would go to a new shelter for Igor the Siberian lynx. In fact, funding for that project was done separately.
Sporting bright smiles and sequinned shirts, three girls competed in the first-ever Smithers Rodeo Queen fashion and speech finals on Friday. Houston’s Adele Murray, Amber Gregorowich and Becky Dallaire were all running for the royal title, which is also granted based on rodeo knowledge and horsemanship skills. Savannah Davies, the 2010 Williams Lake Stampede Queen, joined the contest as an emcee and mentor to the first-time contestants. She said the pageant is a major confidence builder. “I can speak in front of crowds now without batting an eye,” she said, noting that she and other rodeo royalty had to speak at pageants and stampedes all over B.C.

According to a report from the Smithers Chamber of Commerce Visitor Information Center, Smithers had 230 visitors from other Canadian locations in June, while the US/ Mexico contributed 80 visitors and another 48 visitors came from Europe/Asia/ Australia. Visitors gave their main interests in visiting Smithers as adventure recreation, accommodation, food/ beverage, shopping, community services and a big one – washrooms. Met two people having lunch, Ealaine West from Calgary, Alta. and Emeric Prevot from Bretany, France. Both are on a biking trip. Emeric has been on the road for two months. At 15 he had a
friend from Canada who spoke glowingly about this country. A dream to see what his friend described was born. Now 21, starting in Quebec, Emeric is on his way to Prince Rupert to put his feet in the Pacific Ocean. Ealaine is on her way to Prince Rupert also, but plans to go to Haida Gwaii then on tto Vancouver Island, Isla across to Vancouver, Van taking a circuitous circ route home. Travelling T by bike is not new to Ealaine. She has biked around China, Central America, Europe, Mexico. So far on this trip she has had nine flat tires, much to her chagrin. Ealaine and Emeric met on the road and have travelled together this far with plans to continue at least to Prince Rupert. They would like to tell everyone thank you for all the wonderful people, the kindness. This is truly a beautiful country!

Kootenays folk stand behind Enbridge opposition By Shannon Hurst Hazelton/Interior News
Opposition to the Enbridge Northern Gateway pipeline project is nothing new in northern British Columbia. However, having people from the Kootenays joining forces with people in the Hazeltons is a novel experience. A group of concerned citizens from Nelson and surrounding communities are heading this way in a caravan to show their support to stop the pipeline, Keith Wiley explained. “We’re carrying a message from the Kootenays to the First Nations and other communities on the pipeline route to say we support them in stopping the pipeline,” Wiley said. “We hope to raise awareness of how many B.C. citizens are
concerned about the danger this pipeline poses to our environment and livelihoods.” The group began holding informative events in February in Nelson and some suggested they should show their support to communities along the pipeline route. Now, months later the group are on their way, leaving Nelson last Monday and heading our way. “We’ve been fundraising to help cover the costs and we’ve developed a proclamation and we’re gathering signatures,” Wiley said. “People here [Nelson] are really supportive and many people wish they could travel with us.” The group has also gained recognition in their hometown with Nelson city council voting to oppose the pipeline project, Wiley said.

Gitxsan Hereditary Chiefs 1650 Omenica St., Hazelton, V0J 1Y0 Ph: 250-842-6780 Fx: 250-842-6709
July 10th, 2012
A Fine Line rom the Gitxsan point of view the Wil’naa t’aahl, or house group, has a Daagoog’m gyat (head chief ), Gaa’kaax (wing chiefs) and other people of rank. At the death of a Head Chief, elders of that house group carefully scrutinize the successor. The Head Chiefs have been our supreme leaders forever. At death of any house member, people look to them first. These leaders know they will have to take the shirts off their backs to get the job done. In the past, they went to great lengths to ensure good leadership in arranged marriages. A critical point of the key players in the Delgaamuukw win are the “Title Holders,” it is key to not tamper with it’s leadership. With the hereditary system, Head Chiefs are the Gimlitxwit. Even after updating
F
our system to the Societies Act it’s nothing new—that’s the way it’s always been. Neil John’s remedies are to fast track the Gitxsan, complete the final chapter in assimilation and lessen the value of being Gitxsan. If the courts and others push us out of the realm of “being Gitxsan,” the Head Chiefs will become window dressing for tourists, as they are in other native nations. What next? Will tomorrow’s Daagoog’m gyat continue to be in the forefront, working hard to do
their civic duties? There are so many formal societies out there that nobody talks about, and whose members are seen as symbolic only. Some have 10 members at most. With the new Gitxsan Society Act, the important part will be the by-laws that actually spell out who answers to who. My guess is that most of us will want to continue “being Gitxsan.” That is what got us Delgamuukw, and we are constantly reminded not go outside of it. All our wins are put in policy that sets out how our House groups are to be consulted and accommodated.
I welcome your comments on this or any other article.

THREE RIVERS REPORT
RCMP, search and rescue looking for filmmaker Search and Rescue teams and RCMP searched the Whiskey Creek Trail last Friday looking for a missing 26 year-old man supposed to be making a documentary film on Kermode bears. On July 10, New Hazelton RCMP received a complaint of an abandoned blue/grey Pontiac Torrent SUV with an Ohio plate at the Creek Trail trail head. RCMP said it had been parked since July 5. The
owner, Warren Andrew Sill told family he would be hiking for four − five days. He had not been heard from the following Tuesday. As of Sunday, RCMP had not located the missing Ohio man who’s family said they last heard from him on July 4. The search for Sill included all-terrain vehicles, helicopters, dogs and many volunteers. However, the Whiskey
Creek Trail heads into the Seven Sisters Provincial Park and mountains and is a difficult area to hike and to search for a missing person, RCMP explained. “Our search for Andrew Sill continues as we try to cover as much ground as possible including aerial search with the assistance of a helicopter,” RCMP Const. Lesley Smith told reporters on Sunday. “The fact that this young
man is not an avid hiker and he is not familiar with this terrain is very concerning.” The New Hazelton RCMP are asking for the public’s help and describe Sill as 5-10, 180 pounds with cropped blond hair. Anyone with any information is asked to call the New Hazelton office at 250-842-7077 or dial 911. The New Hazelton detachment had a busy week receiving more than
118 calls. On July 3, police received a call that a young male was standing on the Hagwilget bridge for a few hours staring at the water. Upon arrival, the male was located and admitted to the RCMP officers he was depressed. The male was then apprehended under the Mental Health Act and transported to the hospital for assessment. On July 6, two intoxicated males in
Kispiox called police to report they’d been jumped by other males who demanded alcohol and then pointed a 22 at them. While the officers on the scene at the time were not able to locate the suspects, the complaint is still under investigation. On July 10, police arrested a person in Old Hazelton for Possession of a controlled substance. The person was later released with a court date on a Promise To Appear.

THREE RIVERS REPORT
Rock Nest Ranch not just about going to chapel By Andrew Hudson Smithers/Interior News
As he waits his turn to fly down the 300-m zip line at Rock Nest Ranch, Gavin George ticks of the things he likes best about the summer Bible camp. “I like the games, chapel, and the food and all the new people I get to meet,” he said. Gavin, from Moricetown, joined a group of 30 First Nations youth at the camp last week. Built beside Irrigation Lake just north of Houston, the camp is run by United Indian Mission International and regularly hosts groups of up to 50 children and teens from towns between Prince George and Prince Rupert. For campers, a typical day starts with breakfast, cabin cleanup, and a service
in the chapel followed by activities— wall climbing, zip lining, canoeing, and a giant swing. Next comes lunch, “cabin Zzzs,” and free time before supper, more games, chapel and a campfire. Campers say one reason they enjoy Rock Nest is the volunteer staff. For his part, staffer Michael Lavoie says he goes to camp to encourage the boys. “I just want to be an example for them and help them out as best I can,” he said. The future of Rock Nest looks bright, as staff finish expanding a lodge to seat 250 to 300 people, be wheelchair accessible, and stay open year-round. Nearly $900,000 was raised for the lodge so far, Wendell Garrison said and about 80 per cent of its construction has been done by volunteers.

Anti-pipeline caravan to make several stops along Highway 16 SUPPORT from B1 “They [Nelson city council} also endorsed the caravan as a citizens’ way to show opposition. Wiley added Nelson city council isn’t the only one stepping up to support opposition to the Northern Gateway pipeline project. “Our Member of Parliament, Alex Atamanenko is speaking at the sendoff event, along with Michelle Mungall, our local MLA,” Wiley explained. “Candace Batycki, who brought the motion opposing the pipeline to Nelson city council is also speaking.” Atamanenko, MP BC Southern Interior, congratulated members of the caravan for their efforts and asked they add his voice to their message. “I recently spent time in the TerraceKitimat area and had a chance to see the opposition to Enbridge first-hand,” Atamanenko said. Also supporting the caravan and the message it carries is Nova Scotia MP Megan Leslie, the NDP’s environment critic in Ottawa. “The Kootenay to Kitimat caravan is a creative act of solidarity with the people, wildlife and wilderness areas threatened by this dangerous pipeline.
“I support the caravan and urge the people of southern B.C. to get involved in the growing opposition to Enbridge’s plan.” There is no shortage of support pouring in from all across the province now, Wiley said. The growing support, Wiley confided, is reassurance the caravan is the right thing to do for a great cause. B.C. MP and NDP fisheries critic Fin Donnelly also shared his support for the caravan. “He said, ‘I congratulate the caravan for putting forward strong opposition to the Harper Conservative
agenda, and wish them well on their trip,’” Wiley said. After pulling out at noon Monday the caravan headed to Castlegar, then Grand Forks. Tuesday the caravan met with people in Kelowna and held a street event. Wednesday, they did the same with people in Kamloops. Thursday the caravan heads to Williams Lake, Quesnel and Prince George and expects to be in Fort St. James on Friday where they host a large public event. The caravan plans to be in Burns Lake on Saturday at approximately 10 a.m., before making
their way to Hazelton for an event on Sunday. “While we aren’t exactly sure what the nature of some of the community events will be, we do have a mock pipeline with us and we’ll be collecting signatures on our proclamation,” he said. “We’re really hoping to connect with members of the Gitxsan and we aren’t sure what we are doing just yet but we’ll definitely be there on Sunday and holding a public event of some kind.” After Hazelton, the caravan plans to back track to Smithers to meet with Smithers Mayor Taylor Bachrach and then head west again to
Terrace and Kitimat. “We hope to meet with local mayors, politicians and First Nations leaders everywhere we go,” Wiley said. “We want to bring our message and support to the people
in northern B.C. and we want them to know we’re here and we support them.” Members of the caravan are posting photos and the progress of the project on Facebook and Twitter to give
everyone a chance to see who they meet and what they’re up to, Wiley said. For information visit Facebook: Kootenays for Pipeline-Free BC or call Wiley at 250-7772020 to get involved.

THREE RIVERS REPORT
TOTEM PREP Master carver, Yaya has started the task of mapping out the totem pole he is helping to create for a Kispiox Family. Everything has been done the traditional way so far from the blessing of the tree in the forest before it was cut down to the people carrying the pole across the River. There is a great deal of excitement surrounding this project Yaya explained as it has been a long time since a totem was created in the Village of Kispiox. Shannon Hurst photo

Mary Towle passed away suddenly in Smithers hospital June 30, 2012. Mary attended Gladstone Secondary in Vancouver, loved playing baseball, and met her husband on the ball field. She moved to Vanderhoof in the 70’s, worked for the government for several years and had a small hobby farm. During this time, her daughter Annette was born. Mary enjoyed the outdoors, hunting and fishing. She moved to the lower Mainland in 1986, returning north in 1999. Mary eventually settled in Smithers, worked for Northern Health, and made wonderful friendships. Mary adored her grandchildren, Hayley and Nick, treasuring her time spent with them. She enjoyed trips to Nevada, yelling Bingo, and until recently, loved walking the local trails. A service will be held to remember Mary, Tuesday, July 24, 2012, 2 p.m., at Mountain View Assembly, Smithers, B.C. Rest in peace my friend, you are loved, you are missed.

Elisabeth Maria Holenstein
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our Mom, Nana and Great-Nana in the afternoon of June 25, 2012 at the Smithers Hospital. Born in Switzerland on June 16, 1932. Left to mourn her passing are her children: Mark (Brenda), Monika (Richard), Lucy (Jack), Sylvia (Chuck), Cornelia (Orvy), Guido (Tanya), Anita (Rick), Claudia (Taylor) & Carolene; sister Adele (Karl) Gahlinger; 38 grandchildren and 28 great grandchildren. She was predeceased by our dad Karl Holenstein, and son-in-law Dave Hayhurst. Caring for people was what Mom committed her life to doing. She had a heart for missions and was always searching for ways to reach out to those in need. She has left us a legacy of prayer; daily bringing the needs of her family and her world before our Heavenly Father ... we pick up her mantel. How do you encapsulate a life well lived? 38 grandchildren that are each convinced that they were Nana’s favourite! “Her children rise up and call her blessed,” Proverbs 31:28. We would like to thank Dr. Freddie Strauss and the staff at Broadway Clinic, Dr. Biz Bastian, Katrina and Shelley and the staff at BVDH for their tender care and compassion. Special thanks also to Hawkair, and the many people who provided meals, cards, and other expressions of love ... Mom would have been so pleased. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to BC Children’s Hospital oncology ward in support of Mom’s granddaughter Marisa who is undergoing cancer treatment for Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma.

Aurora Borealis a nighttime treat for northerners
MY TOWN Shannon Hurst
T
here are so many great things about northern living at any time of the year and summer definitely has some huge highlights especially with the wonderful warm weather we have been blessed with this past week. However, in the cool evenings, there are other magical treasures to be found from time to time. While we don’t have fireflies here in the north we do have fire in the skies so to speak and the delightful Aurora Borealis were out and dancing this past weekend. According to my
treasured Auroral Alerts there was a significant event located on the Sun facing Earth on July 12, which translated into the Aurora or Northern Lights arriving in our night skies two days later on July 14. Observers of the night sky in North nig Am America were told to watch for aurora on the nights of the 14t 14th and 15th and depending on the configuration of the disturbance, the auroras may be visible as far south as the mid-United States. Not only did they showcase the night sky on the weekend here in the Hazelton’s but they were also seen in southern New Zealand, Tasmania, and of course, Antarctica. Now while the colours I once saw in the Northwest Territories in my youth ranged from reds, oranges, yellows to blues, greens and purples here in the near north, we get predominately greens with the odd reds and oranges during a big storm.
This past weekend I was delighted to see a variety of greens with yellows with hints of reds at times. However, due to another great advantage of northern living, longer daylight and no true darkness, it was hard to get the full effect. That’s not to say it wasn’t awesome. Many people I’ve
spoken with enjoy the night’s dancing lights as much as my family does and we often keep each other up to date through social media networks. Yet for those who would like a direct link to updates and warnings of upcoming shows visit www2.gi.alaska.edu/ mailman/listinfo/ gse-aa to sign up or
you can also check a great website during the event that gives forecasts for the lights on a 10 minute basis at www.softservenews. com/aurora.htm. So while relaxing after a long day of fun in the sun, take a few minutes to gaze up at the stars and see if the Aurora Borealis aren’t dancing in the night sky.

THREE RIVERS REPORT
Pensions for retiring Members of Legislative Assembly panned By Tom Fletcher Victoria/Black Press
Veteran B.C. Liberal MLA Murray Coell added his name to the list of politicians retiring from the legislature, as the Canadian Taxpayers’ Federation renewed criticism of the MLA pension plan. Coell, MLA for Saanich North and the Islands since 1996, announced Wednesday he won’t seek re-election next spring. Surrey-Tynehead MLA Dave Hayer announced the same decision earlier this week, joining several other members of the B.C. Liberal caucus effective May 2013.

On the NDP side, New Westminster MLA Dawn Black and Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows MLA Mike Sather have indicated they will complete their current terms and retire. More retirements are expected in both parties. CTF B.C. director Jordan Bateman used Hayer’s departure as an example of what they call gold-plated pension payouts available since the MLA plan was reinstated in 2007. The CTF calculated Hayer will likely collect $47,600 the year he turns 65, increasing to $62,900 a year by the time he is 80 due to inflation protection. Coell served in several cabinet posts, most recently as labour minister after the

2009 election. Since pensions are based on an MLA’s highest three earning years, Bateman calculates that Coell’s pension will kick in at $89,000 a year. The CTF says taxpayers contribute $4 for each dollar paid by politicians. MLAs must serve six years to be eligible. If defeated before then, they get a 15-month severance. The return of the pension plan for B.C. MLAs was overshadowed by steep pay increases they voted for themselves in 2007. The B.C. Liberal government adopted the recommendations of an independent committee that increased base pay for a backbench MLA 29 per cent to $98,000,

with automatic cost-of-living increases that bring the current base pay to nearly $102,000. In response to public pressure, the previous MLA pension plan was scrapped by former NDP premier Mike Harcourt in 1996. A group retirement savings plan was set up that matched MLA contributions dollar for dollar, a system the CTF says was fair. The current plan, established in 2007, allowed long-serving MLAs to buy back the years they lost when the more modest plan was in place. Most, including Premier Christy Clark, did so, at a cost of more than $20 million to taxpayers.
