Zellers, Fields closing leaves department store void By Dan Mesec Smithers / Interior News
In a small town, department stores play a key role in the local economy. So when Zellers and Fields announced they’re closing their Smithers locations, it’s no surprise it has left a few people wondering where they will make their next department store purchase. “It’s not something we’ve talked about at council, I think it’s something we’re going to talk about because it’s a topic I’m hearing a lot from the community about,” Mayor Taylor Bachrach said. “People are very aware losing two low-cost retailers in town is going to have an impact on consumer choices.” Early last year Zellers stores across the country were bought-out by Target department stores as they continued to migrate from the United States into Canadian markets. “It is a lease non-renewal as the reason for the closer,” HBC’S Tiffany Bourre said. “We’re not currently looking at a new location [in Smithers] at the moment.” The transition means some Zellers stores would have to close their doors
completely because Target didn’t want to keep certain locations. After reviewing Smithers Target decided not to renew the lease with the building owners and as of February 27, 2013, Zellers will be closed for good. “It’s not concerning at this point because with Zellers closing we haven’t heard about what’s going to be replacing that,” Smithers Chamber of Commerce Manager Heather Gallagher said. “There are rumblings that something will be replacing that space.” However, Zellers is only half the issue. Fields is already on it’s way out and again nothing concrete has surfaced as to what will replace that space as well. Smithers is full of retail stores, however most in the downtown core are more niche than anything else. Offering higher priced items that can’t always accommodate lower income customers. Zellers and Fields offered a low-cost retailer and with that gap getting wider many are left without a local department store that will inevitably send dollars to Terrace and Prince George.

Chief’s resolve strengthens By Dan Mesec Smithers / Interior News
Chiefs and councillors from the Wet’suwet’en, Heiltsuk and Gitxaala First Nations visited the Alberta tar sands last week to speak with communities affected by the world’s largest industrial project and to tour Suncor’s Millennium mine.
“You have to realize how disheartening it is to stand on a piece of ground that is dead,” Chief Na’moks (John Ridsdale) said. “Spiritually it kills you. Physically, with the smell everything around you is unreal, to me it looked like a moonscape.” See TARSANDS on Page 2

Visit to tar sands a ‘spirit killing’ experience TARSANDS from A1 The First Nations leaders travelled to Fort McMurray to visit the source of the threat being proposed through Enbridge’s Northern Gateway pipeline. After touring the area by land and air the First Nation leaders said they’re more resolved than ever to stop the proposed project that would take tar sands bitumen from Alberta to B.C.’s north coast. “The scope and scale of the destruction was incredible,” Heiltsuk Chief Marilyn Slett said. “The tar sands expand for as far as the eye can see. It was emotionally, physically and spiritually draining to witness.” The group was accompanied by Forest Ethics senior energy campaigner, Nikki
Skuce who said, after speaking with elders from Fort McKay, she realized the impact the expansion of the tar sands can have on First Nation communities. “One of the elders said, ‘Whatever you do, don’t open the doors. If you open the door, then that’s the end,’ Skuce recounted. “I think the message that really hit home is that if we allow Enbridge’s Northern Gateway pipeline to be built that will not be the end,” Skuce said. Suncor is one of a handful of companies offering financial support for Enbridge’s proposed Northern Gateway pipeline. Although Suncor has said decisions to support expansion projects are apolitical, First Nations of B.C. continue to urge Suncor to withdraw it’s support.
In their 2012 report on sustainability, Suncor said it wants to reduce fresh water consumption by 12 per cent from current levels by 2015. As well as increasing reclamation of disturbed land by 100 per cent, improved energy efficiency by 10 per cent and reduce air emissions by 10 per cent. “We all basically want the same things - to build a strong society with vibrant communities, a healthy environment and job opportunities for our kids,” Suncor’s Vice President of Sustainability, Gord Lambert said. “When it comes to our shared energy future, we need to get beyond our differences to what unites us. We need to build bridges rather than walls.” However, these

claims have done little to win the support of B.C.’s First Nations, including the Wet’suwet’en who say they never relinquished title to their lands and don’t intend to no matter what the cost. “I’m more steadfast than ever that Enbridge will not go through the territory,”
Chief Na’moks said. “I can’t see our grandparents saying, ‘Hey I brought you into this world so you could ruin it, so you could give permission for someone to go in there and kill everything that they’ve worked for centuries to keep. I can’t see that.”

Department store in short supply in 2013 ZELLERS from A1 But the Bulkley Valley’s Economic Development Officer Allen Stroet is hard at work to ensure Smithereens spend their hard earned dollars locally. Although Stroet couldn’t say what will be taking over the empty Fields space, he has assurances from the owners there is something coming. Whether or not it’s a department store remains to be seen. “People just want to know where they can buy bed sheets and children’s clothes and shoes,� Stroet said. “As far as the Zellers goes, I’ve been working with the real estate company of the building and they’ve had some preliminary talks with interested parties,� he said. In a world of big box department stores it’s tough for a small town like Smithers to offer a large enough
space for the building alone not to mention the merchandise. For example, the Target store planned to replace Zellers in Prince Rupert is 40,000 square feet, making it the smallest Target store in Canada. The Zellers building in Smithers is 25,000 square feet, not even big enough for their storage rooms. Still, as small town rumors begin to build, Stroet tries to put them at rest. “Of course, there’s always the blue-vested elephant in the room,� Stroet said, referring to the rumors WalMart is knocking at the door again. “The stance of the BVEDA is that we’re not going to break down their door and invite them here but we’re also not going to push them away.� “The role of the BVEDA is to work with businesses that come to town.

Whether it be WalMart or any other business,� he said. However, Stroet said Smithers has another advantage at growing it’s economy. “Smithers is very good at attracting talent,� he said. “Brains come to Smithers.� Although several industrial firms are based in Smithers as well as many skilled trades people, Stroet is quick to point out
that not everyone is in the position to shop at the more boutiquetype shops in town. “It’s up to the Town, the Chamber of Commerce and the BVEDA to try and fill those voids and it’s up to business to be cognisant of what’s available,� Stroet said. But it doesn’t negate the fact that Smithers is still without a department store come February 2013.

An issue that has the attention of Smithers council. “I’m interested in working with the local business community to see how we can provide a local solution to that challenge,� Bachrach said. “Local business is important to Smithers, we need to emphasize the value of shopping locally. It supports our community in so many ways.�

District landfill getting facelift By Andrew Hudson
Workers install a new leachate collector pipe at the Knockholt landfill on Friday, Aug. 3. Jackie Lieuwen photo
from our hand s
When you climb 170,000 tonnes of buried Bulkley Valley garbage, you get a great view. Knockholt landfill, about 12 km east of Houston, is the last stop for all trash collected in the six towns from Smithers to Southside. And standing on its breezy top last Tuesday, it’s clear the site is extra busy this summer. Below, surveyors, excavators and pipe fitters were laying the base of a $200,000 expansion “cell” that will hold the next five years’ worth of garbage in a landfill expected to last until at least 2063. Ahead, a giant compactor with spiky steel wheels mashed a fresh layer of garbage, careful to avoid a pipe exhausting methane from the 12 years worth of garbage buried beneath it. And hundred of metres away, a worker measured outflow from the complex system of pipes, drain rock and clay liner that runs throughout the landfill, collecting any rain or garbage ooze that leaches out the landfill and channeling it through an artificial wetland full of toxicity-depleting cattails. But no matter how well Knockholt develops—its artificial wetland won a watertreatment award in 2010—Bill Miller, chair of the Regional District of Bulkley-Nechako, says landfilling is always a last resort. “It’s expensive,” he says. “And it has longterm ramifications.” At $3.2 million, waste handling cost$800,000 more than any other service in the RDBN last year. Miller said it regularly tops the RDBN budget, largely because of the district’s long hauling distances. See RDBN on p. A9

Small fortune: Bad hand dealt in 1930’s Eddie Westgarde, now 90 years old, grew up in Smithers and Telkwa. What follows is a edited story found in his upcoming collection, ‘True and Unusual Stories.”
T
he old man looked at a row of cards face up on his table. “I don’t like to tell you,” he said, with a verifying look. “Someone in your family is going to die soon—the summer won’t pass.” He looked at each of us four: my brother, his wife, their baby girl and me. We were in Smithers to see an old man who was famous for two things: doctoring sick horses and telling fortunes. I was ten and believe to a large extent in ghosts, demons, evil spirits and mediums. The horrible depression of the 1930s was on, and we had driven a Model-T Ford 50 miles to see if the old man had horse medicine. It was cold along the railway where the old man lived. Fifty peaky roofed houses puffed narrow wood smoke trails up high as the spruce trees. Inside, we drank coffee and ate home-made cookies. My brother and the old man talked about the horse. Then, suddenly, the old man said, “Here, I’ll tell your fortune!” I wondered if maybe he wanted to see if the horse would die. And I remembered my brother saying once, “Don’t ever have anything to do with fortune telling because only wicked spirits know the future.” The old man turned a deck of cards as he spoke to us. Then he turned up the ace of spaces and stopped talking. He looked stunned. He seemed to have gone into a trance, and I was scared, like a demon had walked into the room. Then he said, with effort: “Someone in your family is going to die before another summer is gone.” He gathered the cards and the house was quiet for long seconds, until my brother brought up the horse again. We left for home soon after. I was living with my brother and his wife. My dad was dead and my brother had taken his place in my life. Strangely, I don’t think we ever discussed or even mentioned the fortune-telling, neither on the slippery road home nor in the coming days. My brother was living in poor health. By 15, he had several operations for osteomy-
elitis, which was little understood at the time. I was with him when he lived through several painful attacks. I remember one night in particular, when we were walking out of a tie hacker’s camp. “Wait,” he said, slumping to the ground. He bowed his head, and I knew he was praying. It passed, and we walked on down the road. We lived in semi-wilderness country. Behind our old log house was a group of large spruce trees. In summer, I would go there to watch the birds and listen to their songs. It seemed like a special spot, and I felt that God, whom my brother studied, was close. Days passed. My brother was better and our days were full. Their girl Shirley, was the first baby I’d ever watched growing up and she was beautiful. Death came suddenly and without warning. Shirley died without even crying. A valve in her heart had never worked properly. I suffered inwardly as we prepared for her funeral. We had no money and were actually on the verge of starvation. The closest preacher was in Burns Lake and he wouldn’t come to the funeral since he knew we had no money. It was a long day when my brother and I made the coffin in the front room of the old house. And where did my sister-in-law choose to bury the little girl? Right by the five big spruce trees close to my little playhouse, where all the pretty flowers grew. The sun shone bright and the birds sang when we lowered the little box. My brother said, “For the day when God makes us perfect, when there is no more death and loved ones are returned by resurrection.” He talked to God, then we returned to the old house. I kept my emotions like a stone, but the anguish of my sister-in-law was too much. I ran out of the house, back into the woods and thought in bewilderment of the old man who said the summer wouldn’t pass. As death moves closer, I reflect on my first fuPhoto courtesy Abulic Monkey, Flickr neral, where big spruce trees grew like a paradise. Again, I see the peaky roofs in Smithers with their smoke trails and the ace of spades turn up in the old man’s fingers. I hear him say, “I hate to tell you…” The horse was looked after kindly and lived to be old. Old man Haftner was given credit for his medicine and became famous in Smithers for his fortune telling. He has many grandsons living in Houston today.

Save a species, smoke organic
F
indings by researchers in California may lead conservation biologists to form alliances with organizations promoting the legalization of marijuana. A research team led by Mourad Gabriel of with the Integral Ecology Research Center and the Veterinary Genetics Laboratory at the UC (Davis) found anti-coagulant rodenticides in the livers of several carcasses of the endangered fisher. Fishers are the largest members of the mustelid family, which includes martens, mink and weasels. Anti-coagulant rodenticides are essentially blood thinners that, as their name implies, prevent blood clotting. The authors noted the presence of open buckets of anti-coagulant rodenticides associated with illegal marijuana cultivations as a potential link with the deaths of the fishers. Given B.C.’s reputation for producing good quality pot, the results of the California study add another reason to the pile of reasons to legalize marijuana. B.C. has more than a dozen blue and redlisted avian and mammal species that can be impacted by anti-coagulant rodenticides. Smoking legal, organic pot could help save these threatened and endangered species, in more ways than one. First, certified organic marijuana cultivators will not be allowed to use rodenticides or any other form of chemical pest control. Win-win for endangered hawks, owls and mammalian carnivores such as weasils, fishers and their prey. Win-win for pot smokers as they would be assured the rodenticide didn’t make its way into the product they were buying. Even better, the revenue generated from the sale of legal marijuana could be poured into various programs aimed at helping the recovery of endangered species. Various estimates peg the value of marijuana sales in the tens of billions of dollars. Let’s just say $10 billion. At a 15 per cent tax rate, legal pot would generate $1.5 billion in tax revenue. Any biologist would be happy to see funding on just the interest generated by $1.5 billion. Given the potential funding windfall, it’s only a matter of time conservation biologists and government biologists call for the legalization of marijuana. Save a species, smoke organic. - Percy N.

Summer swim in the carbon tax pool
B
.C.’s carbon tax is making the BC Liberals feel a little too ahead of their time. “Premier Christy Clark has made it very clear we want to be a leader on climate action policies,” said Environment Minister Terry Lake, a day before the fossil-fuels tax hit its last hike July 1, raising the gasoline tax to 6.67 cents a litre. “But when you are a leader you expect others to follow,” he added. While most of Europe, Australia, even India and Rio de Janeiro have or will soon have ways to price C02 emissions, most of Canada and the U.S. are foot dragging. California is finally launching its cap-andtrade plan, but the
economy has given cold feet to nearly all the 25 other states and provinces that joined. Given that climate, the BC Liberals put the tax up for review. Minister Lake says they won’t axe the tax, which the BC Conservatives would do, and the BC NDP would have done in 2008. But Finance Minister Kevin Falcon did say its revenue neutrality is in question, and he hinted at some kind of subsidy to help B.C. farmers compete with those who don’t face the same fuels costs. For their part, the BC NDP would rather spend carbon tax money on things the public can see, like transit, and less on things they can’t, like cuts to corporate taxes. And the NDP is

go to northerners or farmers comes to the same thing—chipping away at the simplicity of a widely applied tax tied to emissions. In a way, even Smithers had a hand in this all-too-human thinking. Last year, council ask asked for and won the right for all munic nicipalities to spend car carbon tax money locally, rather than loc buying offsets from the Pacific Carbon Trust, a Crown corporation. Towns grumbled they paid a premium to run the Trust, which is true. And looking at the 16 retrofits the Trust did last year, most benefit major companies like Timber West and Encana. But towns also pay a premiums if they have to hire environ-
mental consultants. And the amount of carbon tax they pay—$9,956 in Smithers, $2,221 in Telkwa, and $9,728 in the regional district last year—is such a trickle that it would be better to pool it in the kind of industrial-scale retrofits the Pacific Carbon Trust is doing. After all, climate change is at least a province-wide problem, even if towns want to spend their money in their own backyards. Bulkley Valley towns would do well to follow Nanaimo, Lantzville and Qualicum Beach, which now combine their carbon tax rebates to take on larger-scale projects. It’s a compromise, but that’s what politics is all about.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Alberta Premier needs a shake Editor: Alberta’s Premier needs to consider the following hypothetical headlines and then give her head a shake: “Grain spill cleanup begins in B.C.” and “Oil spill cleanup begins in B.C.” The environmental and cost implications of these two headlines don’t even begin to compare. The same can be said for almost any other products shipped through B.C. from Alberta and vice versa. When was the last time anyone heard of a softwood lumber spill in Alberta resulting
in catastrophic environmental devastation and a multi-billion dollar cleanup? Monika Bonney Burnaby
Motive for moving Learning Centre must be clarified Editor: (re: Learning Centre finds new home, Interior News, June 13, 2012) An open letter to the Board of Northwest Community College and the Board of Trustees, School District 54. As a parent of two children who graduated through the
Learning Centre, a former School District 54 Trustee, and former Program Co-ordinator for Northwest Community College, I am at a complete loss as to how to rationalize this move as being in anyway a “win-win” for students of either institution. Letters to the editor from past instructors published in the same edition of the Interior News more than adequately described the value of the present model of the Learning Centre’s programing to both students and the community at large. There is no question that if you accept the provincially recognized concept that students learn at different rates and in different ways then this program is
essential in meeting the needs of 15 per cent of the high school population in Smithers. It would, therefore, seem care should be taken before the program is scrapped for any reason, let alone one that appears to have had little public consultation nor academic forethought. Both Boards should be aware the Learning Centre was originally housed in two portables in the parking lot at NWCC. As the program
grew it becam became apparent ther there was growing friction between the NWCC and the Learning Centre due to behaviors of some of the latter’s students that were deemed to be immature and at times destructive. Upon checking with past students and given what I was told as a Trustee, the old adage applied, kids were being kids, modeling behavior that was inappropriate but not unprecedented given their age.

As I understood it at the time the mutually acceptable result was to move the Learning Centre to its present location. It should be noted their was public involvement in this move, resulting in both moral and financial support. At the same time, the College needed a place to offer a welding program in Houston and spent considerable funds to upgrade the shop at the Houston High School so they could use it during those semesters that it was laying idle. One course was held there and while the college students were completely cut off from the main student body, except for the washrooms. At the end of the semester the program was moved, at considerable cost, partially because the shared washroom use The supposition that was deemed younger students are inappropriate by the school going to benefit by administration. Finally as late going back to the high as 2009, while school is the scariest participating as an instructor of all. in a college program, I was informed it was college policy not to enroll any students under the age of nineteen, due to risk management concerns. My question is, what has changed? My next question deals with the reported proposition this move will be in the interest of the students since they will have the opportunity to be mentored by college staff and the ability to ladder into college programing. While at first blush this sounds reasonable, it begs the question whether discussions have taken place with college staff as to their responsibilities in this regard and it also ignores the fact that laddering opportunities have been available for a long time with few high school students taking advantage of them. The supposition that younger students are going to benefit by going back to the high school is the scariest of all. In my view this shows a flagrant lack of empathy for those that cannot participate, for whatever reason, in the ‘big box’ style of education and as these individuals represent not an insignificant percentage of the total high school population surely it is incumbent on the school board to explain why this action is being taken, given their emphasis on allowing for some individualized training styles within the system. Further, given the fact the present model has seen successful graduation rates (23 graduates in 2010 alone) in the past, has the school board polled past students for their reaction to the move? Have they polled past staff ? I suspect this move has little to do with student success and everything to do with administrative convenience. See NWCC on p. A8

NWCC and School District must hold public consultation NWCC from A7 If that is the case, then be honest and say so and we, the public, can assess the move on those merits. Past experience shows the merging of these two separate and distinct groups has negative implications to the atmosphere and tone of their respective learning environments and since the mission statement for NWCC requires there be public review of such a radical change, one questions whether this has taken place? The same mission statement requires staff be included in such decisions. Has this happened? This requirement also applies to students. Have these discussions taken
place? What are the financial implications to both parties? Like it or not, this move signals a significant shift in how education will be delivered in the Bulkley Valley in the future. The decision will affect both college and Learning Centre students. The public has a right to be fully informed and consulted on the pros and cons of this move so that it can make a valued decision on the legitimacy of the change and whether it truly is the best interest of all concerned. I look forward to your answers to my questions. Bob Henderson Smithers

PUBLIC NOTICE
Innovations key to landfill strategy RDBN from A4 Some small innovations help to keep the costs from rising further. Miller pointed out that the regional district uses loaded rock trucks to compact the clay liner in new development areas. They stagger their wheel patterns when running over different sections, a driving technique that avoids the need for extra compactor equipment. Except for the drain rock surroundings its collector pipes, the landfill also uses onsite clays for capping, as well as waste wood composted in the landfill’s septage receiving bed. But recycling is still the biggest cost-cutter. Less waste at existing landfills delays the expense and task of siting and constructing new landfills, Miller said. “We’ve really been pushing for cardboard recycling because it’s such a high volume,” he said. A 2008 audit shows paper and cardboard make up about 20 per cent of all waste in the RDBN. Only organic material, at nearly 33 per cent, ranks higher in the breakdown. But while the RDBN does have an increasing number of recycling depots, and is aiming for more, standing above the landfill it was easy to spot piles of cardboard and scrap metal getting crunched under the landfill compactor wheels. “It’s amazing,” says Janine Dougall, the RDBN’s director of environmental
services. “We have tipping fees for construction and demolition waste, they’re currently at $60 a metric tonne. “it still doesn’t completely deter people from dumping metal products and other things that could be properly recycled.”
Junk science An environmental engineer, Dougall wrote her UBC Master’s thesis on landfills. So Dougall is happy to talk trash at Knockholt, from its moisture content (relatively dry) to its density (air-tight enough that its last underground fire was years ago). Just don’t call the place a dump. “These are fully engineered facilities, and there’s a lot of science that goes into these” Dougall says. “I get very agitated when I hear ‘dump,’” she added, laughing. Knockholt graduated from dump to landfill in 1998. That’s when engineers capped the original landfilling area under clay and topsoil, then built the landfill’s first leachate collector system. But the most innovative change came in 2007, when the RDBN built Knockholt’s artificial wetland. “It’s actually quite a neat little ecosystem that we’ve built,” Dougall said. When water flows down the long, clay-lined pool of the wetland, it filters through six berms planted full of cattails. Dougall explained
that it’s actually bacteria in the cattail roots that remove pollutants. All the leachate is tested before it flows from a 15,000 cubicmetre collector pool into the wetland and out into the ground. B.C.’s environment ministry limits outflow from the landfill to 100 cubic metres a day, and it only happens during spring and summer when the ground isn’t frozen. Groundwater is regularly tested at the Knockholt landfill. The Bulkley River, 800 meters away at its closest point, is also tested above and below the landfill area twice a year. Given that Knockholt is a fairly young, lowvolume landfill, Dougall said its leachate is relatively easy to treat. But if pollutant levels do rise, Dougall said the RDBN has room to install a second wetland area. Also, if needed they may bring in a solar-powered aerator machine to speed things along, Dougall added. “There’s always risk,” Dougall said. “But we’re managing it the best way possible with today’s technology and understanding.”
A fair deal on recycling By 2014, the B.C. government plans to bring in new product stewardship rules that will force industry to pick up the tab to collect and recycle 70 per cent of all their paper and packaging materials.
That could mean new recycling depots in the RDBN, as well as curbside recycling for every town that now has garbage pickup. “The stewardship program is really going to help, if we have them in our areas,” Dougall said. It’s a big “if.” The RDBN and other local governments in northern B.C. worry that, with their high transportation costs, industry may choose to simply write off their districts as part of the 25 per cent they aren’t required to collect. “That’s the big challenge,” Dougall said. “Unfortunately, the decision isn’t in our
jurisdiction. “It’s industry, and the province.” Multi-Material B.C., the new product stewardship agency, will release its first plan this fall. Given what a large part of the regional district budget goes to waste handling, Miller hopes it includes a rule that the 75 per cent collection rate applies equally across B.C. “Of course, it’s a struggle with all the province-wide services that we get,” he said. “But this one we feel is pretty important.” For updates on the new stewardship rules, visit the Recycling Councils of B.C. web site at rcbc. bc.ca.

Junior Open show cases Smithers growing golf talent By Dan Mesec Smithers / Interior News
Smithers’ up-andcoming golfers were on hand this weekends teeing off for top prize at the Junior Open, Aug. 4–5. It was as tight as they get as the final round ended with a single putt from Adam Veenstra to take the crown. “It was good, I made a few bad shots, but I was able to make a few birdies,” Veenstra said. Two years ago Veenstra was back in the same position, picking up a decisive championship. However, with the kind of talent that has matured in the past two years, Veenstra had his work cut out for him this time around. After the first day of the tournament, Veenstra, Rhys Wilson, Nathan Cachia and Riley Coish were all within three strokes of each other. That lasted until about the back half of the course. With only two holes to go Veenstra had a three stroke lead, Casa birdied on 17, putting him only two strokes behind. Coming down the fairway Cachia knew he needed to make a solid putt to bring it home. “I tried not to leave it short but I left it short and lots of bad putts out there. Lots of three putts,” Cachia said. But it wasn’t enough as the ball trickled ever so slightly to the hole and stopped still on the green, just too short. “I hit the ball pretty well this weekend, it was just my putting that was really bad,” Cachia said. After the disappointing loss Cachia said
there will be a lot of work being done on his short game in the near future. Although the tournament had some lower numbers this year, 17 junior golfers out of 78, it did attract Smithers top talent and it was prevalent in the final round. Wilson was also having a good weekend, nailing a couple key shots to keep him in the lead pack. “It was tough but I’m happy with the overall outcome,” Wilson said. In the final two holes Wilson tried to put in away quickly, but Veenstra wouldn’t allow it, squeaking through on the last putt. “I knew I wasn’t going to win gross but it was good because Adam deserved it,” he said. But it was Coish that seemed most agitated by his play on day two. Starting off the weekend, Coish shot a 75 on the fist day, three over par. However, that confidence would soon fade. “First day was good,” Coish said. “I hit the ball well and putted well. Came out with a 75. I was one back going into the second day and then had a bad start with two bogeys but came back for one birdie. But after that it was just downhill. No putts went in, but I almost birdied the last hole so I was happy with that.” Regarded as the biggest tournament of the year for the juniors Coish noted because of all the great layers they had it really came down to who came out ready to play. “It all depended on
Carol Huynh Wrestles today!
Go Canada!
who would go out and play and I didn’t go out to play,” he said. Though at this point still it’s all about development and Smithers gets top marks for their junior program. “These tournaments are extremely important for the development of the junior club,” Smithers Golf and Country Club pro, Chris Herkel said. A lot of courses in the North are having a tough time with their junior programs, in most cases numbers are down. But what Herkel is seeing in Smithers is a lot of younger kids getting into golf earlier, majority of them being eight or nine. Which means there is more time to develop their skills. Then as the junior open approaches it attracts the best juniors in the valley. “With the junior open you get your more experienced kids, so we’re starting to build for the future again,” Herkel said. Herkel continued to say the achievements from the junior club are very positive at the moment. Noting there hasn’t been this kind of depth of skill in the junior program for some time and that they future for these young athletes is very bright. “These kids are playing really good golf right now,” Herkel said. “Adam shot 73 today so it’s just one over par and I think Nathan did about the same. So there are some good scorers and our next big tournament is the Northern Open and maybe they’ll decided to play in it, I think it would be great if they did.”

Luke Berarducci swims to gold medal victory at provincials By Dan Mesec Smithers / Interior News
Luke Berarducci had an explosive showing last month in Richmond at the 2012 AAA Provincial, swimming to a first place victory in the 100 metre breaststroke event. Berarducci, 12, was under the umbrella of the Points North program representing the northwest zone with fellow Otter Brian Dohler. During last year’s competition, Berarducci placed second, with a mediocre time. However, this year was a completely different story. “His success shouldn’t come as a surprise because last year he came in second, but I was surprised at just how fast his times were,” coach Ali Howard said. Berarducci entered
the competition hoping to put up some solid times. Instead he set a personal best in his heat and on the day of competition destroyed not only his own record but the entire competition, taking home the gold. Berarducci put up a time of 1:19:78 to win the gold. He also grabbed three bronze medals as well as in the 800 and 200 metre freestyle and the 200 metre individual medley. Berarducci’s dominance didn’t just start at the provincials, it’s his dedication that has put him in the top levels of competition. “Luke made a big improvement over last year and big improvement in the long course race,” Howard said. “Particularly with the breaststroke the second place win last year really motivated him to do better this year. He was always working
on his breaststroke in practice.” Although Berarducci has always been a decent long distance swimmer, after his provincial performance, Howard sees more of a sprinter in future meets. “I think embracing that going forward we’re going to see some fast times from him.” “He’s built for speed that kid.” The Otters resume their season in September.

Roller derby girls to hit the rink By Dan Mesec Smithers / Interior News
Watch out Smithers the chuckle of roller skates is creeping into town. Roller derby is about to commence. Formed in the 1930’s roller derby has become one of the fastest growing contact sports in the world and now it’s time for Smithers to send out their ‘jammers’. “There is tons of interest,â€? organizer Christine AĂąonuevo said. “It’s a full contact sport but it’s about building a culture around having fun with something new, different and exciting.â€? Roller derby in the north is not exactly new however. Played by two teams with 12 players each, roller derby matches are referred to as bouts. During a bout teams will try to fling their jammer ahead of the pack so they can lap the other team. By doing so you collect point for each lap. However, players have to be cognisant of both offence and defence at the same time as they use strategy to maneuver through the pack. Smithers is just one of many towns looking to start a team. Already teams and leagues have been popping up all over the northwest. Fort St. John, Ter-

race, Prince George, Quesnel, Williams Lake and Dawson Creek all have or are starting up their own teams and eventually hope to hit the northern roller derby circuit. “There are a lot of leagues springing up in the north. Prince George now has a league with about 30 skaters and we typically play other towns,� Rated PG player Deanna Ruth said. “Our major goals right now is to organize as an official entity and register with the Roller Derby Association of Canada.� But Smithers’ roller derby girls are still trying to find a location to be ground zero for Bulkley Valley bouts.

As roller derby continues to grow in the north it’s attracting many who wish to relive the glories of roller skates and roller derby is just the place to do it. On Sept. 22 the Smithers roller derby girls will be heading for the Fresh Meat: Roller Derby tryout in Prince George for anyone interested in getting involved, contact Christine AĂąonuevo at 250-6433065

Strauss runs to multiple gold wins at B.C. Summer Games By Dan Mesec Smithers / Interior News
Laura Strauss has done it again. Exploding out of the gate at the 2012 B.C. Summer Games to a 100 metre dash gold medal victory, last month in Surrey B.C. “I felt great after the race,” Strauss said. “I just tried to do my best at everything. Competing since 2004, Strauss has proved many times
over that she has what it takes to compete with the best in the province. Coming off a spectacular season, she traveled to Surrey after being invited to compete at the games for the second time. This year was especially productive. After placing first in her chosen event, the 100 metre dash, Strauss continued on to win the 200 metre race as well as clinching gold in the long
jump and silver in the relay race. “I didn’t know it was going to be that close in the 100 metre,” Strauss said. “During the other meet I was way ahead but this time it was a lot closer. But in the 200 metre I was still far ahead.” Despite finishing second in shot put during a Special Olympic track meet in Langley B.C. previous to the summer games, Strauss placed
fourth with some room for improvement. “I did the long jump too and had someone help me with my shot put, helping me learn a new technique,” she said. However, with results like this Strauss shows no signs of slowing down. With excitement in her eye she mentions how it would be great if she made it to the worlds in two years
time. Now with 20 something medals hanging on the wall Strauss is excited about the future and hopes to add more to her already impressive collection of medals. “I always get nervous when I start a race, but then I feel good afterwards,” Strauss said. “I’ve never gone to world before, it’s big and kind of scary but I’d love to try it.”

Britton honoured to take helm of BV Foundation By Percy N. Hébert Smithers/Interior News
It’s a daunting task, but Geri Britton is glad she agreed to become the Bulkley Valley Community Foundation’s new executive director. Britton, who was the manager of the Smithers Chamber of Commerce, as well as the owner of a bridal shop, took a sabbatical from the business world some years ago to do this and that. “It’s a way for me to reconnect,” Britton said of her decision to dip her toe back into the world of business, but this time on the not-for-profit side of things. Although Britton can apply her business acumen to her new position, she did admit working for a foundation and the rules surrounding
their management and fundraising did present challenges. “The guidelines are different for charities,” Britton said, admitting she is still learning the ropes of how foundations operate, especially when it comes to raising funds. For example, Britton said, the foundation is not allowed to fundraise, rather they rely entirely on donations from companies and businesses, endowment funds, or donations made in memoriam. “There’s a fine line between donations and fundraising,” Britton said. An important source of funds for the BVCF is the annual Smithers Charity Golf Tournament, which this year, raised more than $30,000 for the BVCF and the Smithers Rotary Club
THANK YOU To all the People and Businesses who participated in the event that was held for us at the Telkwa Pub on June 23, 2012. Thank you for your caring, warmth, love and generosity. This will never be forgotten. Al and Norma
Help Wanted Apply Within Your path to a better job starts here.
The BVCF then applies the interest from the funds raised, to supporting various activities and groups around the Bulkley Valley. Thus far, the BVCF has distributed $25,000 in 2012, which includes six bursaries and scholarships fro students graduating from high school in Hazelton, Smithers and Houston. Other recent recipients include the Smithers Art Galley and the Backcountry Horsemen, the Central Park project, the Library in Houston, the Northern Society for Domestic Peace and the Grendel Group. Although the sums of money the BVCF distributes are significant, Britton said they also try to help as many individuals or groups as possible, which means
sometimes a request for financial support is only partially funded, knowing the BVCF funds can act as seed money and make it easier for the requesting organization to receive funding from other organizations. Because they aren’t allowed to fundraise, Britton said securing money for the BVCF, founded in 1991, wasn’t an easy task and one goal she has set for herself is to increase awareness in the community about the role of the BVCF. “I want to make the BVCF more visible and better known in the community,” Britton said. “Hopefully that increased awareness will lead to more donations which will allow us to build our endowment funds.” For information visit: www.bvcf.ca

Prescriptions for Living Well
How do you use oils as an insect repellent? Simply mix 10-20 drops of the chosen oil(s) with 1 cup of water, shake it up, and start spraying. If you have bugs on your plants you can spray the leaves to drive the bugs away with no harm to your plant. For ants, you can spray a line of peppermint, spearmint or catnip in doorways, on window sills, across your kitchen counter or floor, which will prevent the ants from crossing the line. For persistent bugs use a stronger mixture. For flies, you can knock them dead right out of the air with
one shot from your sprayer. Following are the recommended oils to use: ANTS: citronella, peppermint, spearment. APHIDS: cedarwood, hyssop, peppermint, spearmint & saltwater. FLEAS: citronella, peppermint, lemongrass, spearmint, lavender. FLIES: citronella, lavender peppermint, rosemary, sage. GNATS: citronella, patchouli, spearmint. LICE: cedarwood, peppermint, spearmint. MITES: eucalyptus, lavender, lemongrass, peppermint, thyme. MOS-
QUITOES: catnip, citronella, lavender, lemongrass. MOTHS: cedarwood, hyssop, lavender, peppermint, spearmint. SLUGS & SNAILS: cedarwood, hyssop, patchouli, pine. SPIDERS: peppermint, spearmint.

Something that I thought would always be there is the Pattullo Bridge. It spans the Fraser River going from New Westminster to Surrey. As teenagers we used to walk over the bridge and head over to the Turf Hotel where we would have a coke and walk back. It was a way to be courted by a fellow.

Sharp-shinned hawk keeps track of pigeons
FOR THE BIRDS Brenda Mallory
I
t often ft h happens when I am out and about that someone will ask me if I am the one who writes about the birds. Then there is a question. So it happened the other day. A young man asked me about a little bird that he had seen. Plump little fellow with a red crown patch that is not often seen. This is of course the bird not the young man. Do you think I could remember the name of the bird that is as so many of you know the ruby crowned kinglet? One of those senior moments. I can tell you for sure the Eurasian collared dove has created a talking point among the birders in
this region. Must still be breeding and having a second batch. A northern traveller called about a magpie seen on the road near Teslin. It was alive , just picking away at something I suppose. A sharp-shinned hawk ha is perched near the pigeon coop as we speak. sp I managed to get the pigeons back inside. ins I am sure the hawk will leave soon. Mind you it is now bothering the crows. What a commotion! Maybe all this is a result of the full moon that will happen in August. August is blue moon month. That means there will be two full moons in one month. August 2 and 31. It is a rarity. A “once in a blue moon sort of thing.” Some in this area feel that the hummingbird numbers are down. The northeast seems to be OK as far as the reports go. In fact there have been two reports from Fort Nelson about the Anna’s hummingbird. It is bigger than the rufous. Karen asked

why there had been so many shorebirds earlier in the season and now not so many. Actually by the end of June the first fall migrants of sandpipers and shorebirds will be seen in the Fort Nelson region and later here. The wild raspberries and gooseberries are ready for picking. The Saskatoon berries are also ripe. Friends from the coast told me today about buying blueberries.
Don’t feel left out if you don’t have access to blueberries. Did you know that our native Saskatoon berries are considered to be a super fruit. Apparently Saskatoon berries have more antioxidant value than blueberries. The berries will lower blood pressure, fight cancer and lower bad cholesterol. Not too shabby in the nutrient department either. It does contain calcium, carotene and iron.
Great for jams, pies or just eat them as I do. Robins and grosbeaks are enjoying the plentiful berry patches now. Of course we must not ignore the bears out there. When out and about picking this super fruit make sure you are always bear aware. I do hope I have returned all your calls. You called 250-8465095 and sent e-mail notes to mallory@ bulkley.net.

Bennett hosts benefit The Savannah Jones Memorial School fundraising project hosts a coffee house this Friday, August 10 at the Kispiox Valley Community Hall. Organizer, Tiffany Bennet, has worked on the project for several years and thought she had reached the fundraising goal last year. To her surprise the cost of building the school in memory of her friend had gone up drastically since the conception of the project and she found herself once again, on the fundraising campaign. However, Bennet is still confident she can raise enough money to see her goal and dream come to fruition and is looking forward to this week’s upcoming event, she said. “This will hopefully be the final fundraising event for the project,” she said. “There’s a showcase of acclaimed local musical talent and we have an outstanding concession.” To find out more about the fundraiser, to donate food or money or to get more information about the project, contact Bennet at 250-842-5543 or email her at tiffany.bennett@live.ca.

THREE RIVERS REPORT
Win or lose Hazeltons proud of Huynh I
t’s been said Canadians watch more of the Winter Olympics than the Summer Olympics. Yet, I think there are hundreds of people in the Hazelton’s that would beg to differ, especially this week. Our home town hero and 2008 Olympicg gold medalist, Carol Huynh, is set to take to the matt August 8. For the past few weeks the excitement surrounding her Y OWN event has grown and gathered Shannon Hurst momentum as many make plans to be up at 5 a.m. to watch her battle it out in one of the toughest competitions of her life. The field has changed she explained to reporters, but so has she. She’s worked hard to get here. She’s battled injuries, battled her self and throughout it all has come out on top and is ready to once again, step on to the world stage in a fight for a medal against the best there is. It would be no easy feat, but one she said she’s ready for. The Historic BC Cafe opened their doors bright and early, a large screen T.V. was set up outside, and win or lose, hundreds of people were there to cheer her on. While I could not know the outcome of the match when I wrote this column days earlier, there are a few things I do know for sure. Carol Huynh is a legend in Hazelton in so many ways and rightfully so.

BUILDING DECLARATION & SITING APPROVAL PERMITS New regulations apply when building in the Regional District of Kitimat-Stikine
As of July 01, 2012, prior to the start of any new construction an application must be made for a Building Declaration and Siting Approval Permit. This change, authorized under Development Approval and Notification Procedures Bylaw No. 613, 2012, takes what was formerly a voluntary service to a mandatory procedure. It applies in the rural (unincorporated) areas of the Kitimat-Stikine Regional District, but does not apply on Indian Reserves or within the incorporated municipalities such as New Hazelton, Village of Hazelton or Terrace. In addition, for some areas, Surveyors Certificates are required for all new dwellings, other "principal use structures," and larger ancillary buildings. Surveyors Certificates confirm building dimensions and location of buildings within a lot. There is no application fee for a Building Declaration and Siting Approval Permit. Applicants complete a two-page form and submit a site plan of the lot showing current development (buildings, driveways, septic system location, etc.) and the proposed construction. For more information, please contact the Planning Department of the Regional District of Kitimat-Stikine. 300 - 4545 Lazelle Avenue Terrace, BC V8G 4E1 Phone: (250) 615-6100 1-800-663-3208 www.rdks.bc.ca

Inside this Week:
She’s inspired countless people of ages, has never forgotten where she grew up, the people that helped her along the way and comes back to her home town as often as her incredibly busy schedule will let her. She shared her golden successes with all of us, with a heart so huge, a smile so bright and a way about her that is unlike many. Four years ago she had thousands of people across the country cheering for her amazing accomplishments and most of Hazelton bursting with sheer delight and pride with tears in their eyes. Two years ago she carried the Olympic torch to Hazelton and throughout all of the above, she has been a true champion, a people’s champion. There are few things that can bring a community together as well as she does every time she is here. And here we are again, four years after her phenomenal win making today tod another very special day for the people who are privileged to call the Hazelton’s their home. I for one, am extremely proud to be a part of it. It has been an honour to meet her, interview her, watch her interact with children, parents, her friends fi and her family. With all of that said, I truly believe if someone was to ask people in the area how to describe what the Olympics mean to them, I think it could be summed up with one name, Carol Huynh, Hazelton’s sweet heart who showed a nation that dreams do come true.

Theodore Blair Campbell Jr. Dec. 16, 1927 to July 29, 2012
Ted Jr. was born in 1927 at Coalinga, California. His parents moved the family to the Kispiox Valley in B.C. in 1928. The Campbells were among the early pioneer families of that area. Ted worked on the family farm until he joined the R.C.A.F. in 1954. He was a mechanic on F-86 fighter jets. After leaving the airforce in 1957, he joined the operating Engineers and became a “cat skinner.” Several years later, he returned to the family farm in the Kispiox Valley. He supplemented the farm income by working as a big game guide. In 1980, Ted and his wife, June, sold their share in the farm and moved to Telkwa, B.C. Ted returned to operating heavy equipment, building roads for the B.C. Forest Service. Ted’s hobby was buying, renovating and selling houses. He and his wife retired to Smithers, B.C. Age took it’s toll, and after a lengthy illness, Ted passed away July 29, 2012. He was predeceased by his wife, June, only a week before. Ted is survived by his brother, Glenn, six step children, 20 grandchildren, 21 great grandchildren and numerous nieces and nephews. Funeral services were held on Tuesday, July 31 at R.A. Schrader Funeral Home, followed by interment at Telkwa Cemetery, next to his beloved wife, June.
