Union takes legal action against NWCC By Percy N. Hébert Smithers/Interior News
Last Thursday, the Union of Academic Workers applied for legal action against the Northwest Community College. The union claims NWCC violated Section 23 of the College and Institute Act when it tried to reconcile it’s budget with funding received from the provincial government. Section 23 of the Act relates to the advisory
role of the education council in providing advice to the board of governors regarding the development of educational policy, including the addition of new courses and programs, as well as the removal of courses and programs. “We want the employers to do the right thing,” Cindy Oliver, president of the Federation of Post-Secondary Educators of BC, said. “They are violating section 23 of the College and Institute Act which clearly states they must
consult with the education council before they make changes.” The FPSE claims NWCC administrators did not consult with the education council prior to making changes in course and program availability. The application for legal action apparently caught NWCC administrators off guard. “We’re not sure where this is coming from,” NWCC President Denise Hemmings said in a press release. See LEGAL on p.

Prime Rib Special
NWCC assures semester will not be affected LEGAL from A1 The changes Oliver referred to came about as NWCC administrators, in an attempt to reconcile their budget, made changes to the availability of several programs and courses. A total of 24 courses or sections of work for faculty members, including laboratory classes, in the University Credit Program in Terrace, Oliver said. These cuts affect close to 30 full-time instructors and close to a dozen part-time instructors. “That’s significant for students,� Oliver said. It’s a small college and those numbers will have an impact on the students.� The crux of the legal action is the cuts were made without consulting the education council. “Apparently the Academic Workers Union feels we have not adhered to the act,� Henning said. Exactly where the cuts are being made is difficult to say, Oliver admitted, given the fall semester has yet to begin. Of the courses cancelled, 13 are in the Arts and 11 are in the Sciences, Oliver said. Three of the science courses are second year biology courses with a laboratory component. Oliver also pointed to some computerrelated courses and some First Nationsspecific programming

in Prince Rupert that has been cancelled. As of yet, no courses have been cancelled at the Smithers campus. Despite the application for legal action, Henning said the issue was an internal matter and it would not affect the start of the fall semester in September. “It’s business as usual when classes commence in September,� Henning said. “We want to assure students coming to campus in a couple of weeks that they should feel secure that instructors and staff are on the job and there to help their learning experience.� Oliver also said the September semester, at present, was not in jeopardy. The college has 10 days to respond to the application. The legal action launched by the union is not without precedent.

“That decision made it crystal clear that administration needs to consult with the education council,� Oliver said.

If you have one or more of the following big problems you may need them: • Tired legs • Swollen feet and ankles • Varicose veins What are compression stockings? Compression stockings help support the veins in the legs by applying gentle pressure, thereby improving circulation. The only ‘support’ hosiery that is therapeutic and will aid in circulation is ‘graduated’ compression stockings. Graduated compression means compression is greater at the ankle and gradually reduces along the length of the leg, so venous flow is encouraged, not restricted.

CARS: a family affair Three generations lead Hoskins into future By Percy N. Hébert Smithers/Interior News
I
t started with Gordon Williams Sr. landing a job with Hoskins Ford Sales in
1945. In 1947, he became a shareholder in the business and then became president and general manager in 1963, he bought the business from Oswald Hoskins with Al Ford who acted as secretary and office manager. Williams Sr. admitted, back in the day, he was just looking to feed his family when he started working at the dealership at the corner of Main and Highway 16 and the idea that the business would turn into a family affair never crossed his mind. Today, 67 years after landing a job with Hoskins Ford, Williams Sr. retired in March 2012, a few months after he watched with pride as his grandson Mark Williams took the helm. “It was a collective decision,” Williams Sr. said. In his 67 years with Ford, Williams has seen many changes in the automotive industry, but the one change that has impressed him is the quality of the cars being sold today. “I’m impressed with the quality of the cars we’re selling today, the production methods in those days didn’t make it possible to produce the quality cars that are being offered today,” he said. In November 1970, the dealership moved to its current location on Highway 16. By then sons Colin and Gordon Jr. were al-
ready hanging around the dealership. “I was car washing and cleaning up around the lot,” Colin said to describe his chores around the lot when he was 12 years old. Gordon Jr. officially joined the company as a salesman in 1979 and a year later, after finishing a degree at BCIT, Colin joined Hoskins Ford as the office manager. “It’s something I always grew up with, I never thought about it, I guess it was a foregone conclusion that I would join the business,” Colin said with a chuckle. Gordon Jr. and Colin took over the business in 1983. Although he described himself as a number cruncher, Colin did say he was impressed with the evolution of technology over the last 30 years.

I N O UR O PINION
Mind your tongue
L
aughable. Well intended perhaps, but obviously misguided considering the current reality of Canadian politics, especially when it comes to dissenting voices. Supporters of Nadezhda Tolokonnikova, a member of the now infamous female punk band Pussy Riot, are asking Canadian authorities to step in and help her out of a bind. If you haven’t heard, Tolokonnikova and two band mates have been sentenced to two years in a Russian jail for singing an anti-government song in a Russian church, while a church service was in progress. Hooliganism is the charge. Apparently, Tolokonnikova is a permanent resident of Canada. Supporters say that is enough to warrant the government’s help in getting the naughty Pussy Riot girl back to Canada. The Canadian Department of Foreign Affairs says ‘au contraire’, permanent residents do not have the same rights as citizens of Canada. That statement is laughable, it assumes Canadians have rights, the right to voice their dissent publicly. For example, take the case of Canadian Senate page Brigette DePape. By all accounts a brilliant 21 year old, she was fired from her position for protesting against Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s disrespect for Canada and its citizens. Senators and Parliamentarians called the move disrespectful and inappropriate, yet they have no problem supporting the dismantling of the Department of Fisheries and Oceans, the Canadian Coast Guard, cutting corporate taxes and destroying the environment. If that is what the people who voted for the federal Conservatives stand for, then we’re in trouble. Then there’s federal scientists, the very people who should be guiding policy on all matters scientific. They are forbidden from discussing their findings and conclusions with the media, that is without permission from the uppity ups in the federal government. The muzzling of federal scientists has twice been condemned by the prestigious science journal Nature. We’re paying for their research. That gives us the right to hear about what these scientists are doing and their results and conclusions and not some watered down, fully spinned version. Dissent is not allowed in Canada Good luck Ms. Tolokonnikova. - Percy N. Hébert/Interior News
Time for investment in forests T
he B.C. government’s emergency committee on timber supply has produced its report, but it leaves many questions unanswered. Can the Burns Lake sawmill, destroyed by fire last winter, be given enough timber to rebuild? It’s likely, committee members concluded, if areas currently considered “marginally economic” are harvested. With nearly half the pine in that region dead from beetle infestation, and much of the better timber already cut, that means harvesting areas that
would produce only about two thirds of the volume currently considered economical to log. Will eight more sawmills have to close once the beetle-killed timber becomes too degraded to cut in the next few years? The committee hopes extending the cut to less economic timber stands can reduce this impact as well. But some industry contraction seems inevitable. All this depends on adequate forest inventory and investment in replanting, fertilizing and provision of
GUEST VIEW Tom Fletcher additional ditional roads and power lines that would allow access to timber and potential bioenergy development. And that is where the political fight lies ahead. The timber supply

committee delivered a unanimous report, despite the harsh divisions between the B.C. Liberal and NDP members who serve on it. NDP forest critic Norm Macdonald, vice chair of the committee, agreed it did good work during the seven months it has toured affected areas tour of tthe B.C. interior. But he said the B roots of the problem root go back a decade, to when the B.C. Liberals started reducing support for forest health just as the beetle epidemic was spreading. Ten years ago the government removed
the obligation for the province to reforest areas affected by disease and fire. This was not only at the peak of the epidemic, it was one year before devastating wildfires raced through interior B.C. in 2003. If nothing else, the pine beetle epidemic has forced the B.C. government to consider some of the intensive forest management in Scandinavia, one of those places that supplies B.C. with wood furniture.

So, why are the media carrying out this insanely hypocritical attack on Christy Clark? A prime example: CKNW has a women-only political panel going after her! Is it because the media have become so rigidly biased against Christy Clark that anything goes now?

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Good-bye hard-rocking brother Editor: I’d like to take this time to pay tribute to one of the greatest keyboard players ever. Jon Lord, one of the founding members of Mark Two and Deep Purple, who passed away in July 2012 of cancer. Mark Two went from 1970 to 1973, then from 1984 to 1987. They recorded Deep Purple in Rock (1970), Fire Ball (1971), Machine Head (1972), Made In Japan (1972), Who Do We Think We Are (1973), Perfect Strangers
(1984) and House of Blue Light (1987). Deep Purple and Led Zeppelin paved the road for hard rock. Listen to the booming thunder of Smoke on the Water from Made in Japan or Highway Star/Space Truckin’/ Pictures of Home and so on from Machine Head. Deep Purple in Rock will blow your mind. It’s just straightforward, inyour-face hard rock. Richie Blackmore’s guitar will make you want to take up guitar. Jon Lord’s keyboards will make you go out and buy a good Yamaha
keyboard. Singer Ian Gillon is one of the best of best-ever hard-driving singers. With me it’s Deep Purple #1, Led Zeppelin #2, Black Sabbath #3. Those three groups made butt-kicking hard rock. They paved the road. Deep Purple fans and hard rock fans around the world will mourn the passing of Jon Lord. So I say to my sweet Lord, we will miss you with all of our hearts. May you rest in peace my hard-rock brother. Fred Romanov Topley
Women-only attacks hypocritical Editor: Why is Christy Clark being singled out and criticized for holding “womenonly” outreach events when politicians of all stripes have been doing the same for years. I recall that Gordon Campbell
regularly met with groups of women when he was Premier of British Columbia. And yet he was never attacked for it. Likewise, the NDP have a gender and sexual orientation policy which dictates who can and can not be nominated as a candidate. And don’t tell me Adrian Dix has never attended a “women’s meeting”? continued top right

Editor, Media mogul David Black has my full support for his proposal to build a $13-billion oil refinery near Kitimat to process heavy oil from the Enbridge pipeline. I’ve had the same idea myself. Why should we let the Asian countries buy our Canadian crude oil and refine it for their markets when we could add value by refining it “Why should here in BC and shipping we let the Asian them the finished countries buy product? This is a strategy our Canadian that would create local jobs for our own crude oil and citizens and address the refine it for their environmental concerns markets”. around oil tankers travelling in BC’s coastal waters. I know for a fact that Alberta wants to do this because I worked on a project in East Edmonton (a stone’s throw from the refineries in Fort Saskatchewan) that would have seen it become a reality. And as long as Enbridge meets the conditions and standards set out by the Premier, moving heavy oil from Alberta through a pipeline would be a heck of a lot better than shipping it by rail or truck. That’s why BC should be working with Alberta on exactly the kind of joint interprovincial venture David Black is proposing, a venture that would bring valueadded tertiary oil refining to BC along with the heavy oil pipeline. Shipping gasoline, jet fuel and other refined oil products by tanker is just as practical as shipping crude oil and lot safer from an environmental standpoint. So let’s not waste this opportunity and the revenue and jobs it could bring to our province. There’s a lot we could do here in BC with a piece of the oil industry pie. Roop Virk Chilliwack

Business all about people HOSKINS from A5 “The leaps and bounds that they’ve progressed through is unreal,” Colin said. “Today a vehicle can basically park itself. “Ten years ago we would never have dreamed that would happen.” “Looking forward to retirement,” Colin said was the best part of what he does nowadays, as he sits in his office taking care of the accounting side of the business. “I’ve always enjoyed the comptrolling side, the accounting side of the business,” Colin said. For Mark, getting a job on the lot wasn’t a given, he apparently had to convince father and grandfather to put him to work. “I was thirteen when I finally convinced them to let me wash some cars. At 13, Mark couldn’t drive the cars to the washing station, so someone else had to drive the car over to where he was washing.
“I think I was more of a nuisance, I think giving me the job was more of a charity case than it was a business decision,” Mark said with a grin. Mark said, like most 13 year olds, he hadn’t mapped out his life yet, but grew up with the car business at the dinner table and when he began working at the dealership it was already into the second generation, something he said the family was proud of. Having a car dealership in the family had some perks, or so Mark thought, but rather he was dealt an important life lesson. “My dad gave me a brand new F150 pickup for my birthday when I turned 16,” he said. “I was very ecstatic about this. “But as I learned more, the birthday present was that my dad made the financing available to me and the payments would start in one month. “It went from being pretty
exciting to being a reality check, nothing comes for free.” Eventually Mark saw Hoskins Ford as a place he wanted to work and eventually lead into the future, but admitted at the time he was unsure if the economy would continue to hold the dealership in good fortune to see that dream come true, But things did work out and in January 2012 Mark became the third generation owner and dealer principle of Hoskins Ford. “I’m proud of the fact that we made it happen and I’m honoured to be the third generation,” Mark said. Besides the truck and the life lesson, the pride of being a third generation owner of the Hoskins Ford dealership, Mark said the best part of going to work was working with friends and family. “I think I’m like my grandfather, my favourite part about coming here is the people,” he said. “That’s my strong suit, I love the people.”
Though my time in jail was short it was a fruitful learning experience. I would like to thank ... Heartstrings, Glacierview Sattelite, McBike, Investors Group, Coast Mtn GM, Salt Boutique, Shoppers Drug Mart, Glacier Toyota, Aqua North, Carters Jewellers, La Petite Maison, Alpine Cut, Percy Hebert, Laura Botten & Ada Wohland for their generosity and understanding by bailing my butt out of jail to the tune of $580.00 ... well over my bail of $400.

COMMUNITY
Community cancer care team provides support By Percy N. Hébert Smithers/Interior News
They’re not a society at the tip of everyone’s tongue, but there are 44 cancer patients and their families in Smithers who are grateful for the existence of the Bulkley Valley Community Cancer Care Team. The CCCT has been around for a number of years now, chairperson Kathy Johnston said, and became a charitable society in 2006 so they could issue tax receipts.
Johnston and others, with the Smithers office of the Canadian Cancer Society, moved to establish the CCCT after seeing some local cancer patients slip through the cracks. “We saw a need,” Johnston said. Much of the need was financial, especially with regards to travel. “Because of our location, the cost of travel is prohibitive and not everyone qualifies for support from the Canadian Cancer Society,” Johnston explained. See CCCT on p. A14

CCCT fills financial gap in cancer care CCCT from A13 Also difficult for local cancer patients, the Canadian Cancer Society doesn’t pay for escorts for adults going for treatment in the Lower Mainland. “We felt no one should face a diagnosis or treatment by themselves,” Johnston said. “That was one of the main reasons we started raising money, we wanted to raise money so a patient could travel with an escort.” And raise money they did. The group, Johnston said, has raised $42,000, partly through donations as well as a variety of events including Christmas at the station, a $100-a-plate dinner at the Logpile and a cookbook sale that raised more than $17,000. “Local foundations have made some very generous donations andprivate individuals, the Lions Club and the Provincial Employees
Community Fund have all provided support,” Johnston said. Several donations are made in memoriam, Johnston said, and many prefer donating the money to the CCCT to make sure the money is put to use in the community. Although they have been successful in raising funds, Johnston said there is always a need for more money. “We’ve never turned anyone away that have met the criteria,” Johnston said. The first criteria the CCCT has is individuals must apply to the Canadian Cancer Society first. If the CCS is unable to help, then they are more than welcome to request support from the CCCT. Another criteria, given the CCCT does have limited funds, is financial need. “We really want to help people who simply can’t go for
their treatments, or it’s a huge financial hardship,” Johnston said. Despite there best efforts, Johnston said some people in need of their help are unaware help is available from the CCCT. “We want to increase the awareness about the CCCT,” Johnston said. As with other charitable societies,
the CCCT hope more people and organizations will donate money. Johnston also encourages cancer patients in the Bulkley Valley, who may be facing financial hardship attending treatments or to making it out of town appointments to contact the CCCT. “They’re have been people who were unaware of the
financial support available from the Canadian Cancer Society and from us [CCCT] ,” Johnston said. The CCCT is located in the Healthy Living Building at 1070 Main St. at the corner with Alfred St. For information call 250-846-5838, 250-847-3663 or 250847-6219.

Congratulations Tanya Mueller
Dragon boat racers ready By Dan Mesec Smithers/Interior News
Doug Boersema and a crew of dragon boat paddlers will be hitting the waters of Terrace, Sept. 8 for the coveted Lakelse Dragon Boat Mix-Up Regatta. Boersema and the team started training in the early spring to build stamina and technique and now their ready for the big show. “We have to all work together,” he said. “That’s why people come, they love working as a team.” Some members of the team have been padding for the past three years, and although they have never won, or hosted a race for that matter, are hard at work and this year hopes are high. With 12 teams entered in the regatta, Smithers is clearly the youngest of the heavy hitters like Kitimat, Prince Rupert
and Terrace. “This year we’re hoping to have our own team,” Boersema said.” “And everything looks very promising in that regard.” Despite the fact Smithers has been struggling in the past couple years, the interest in the sport has exploded Boersema said. More people in northern B.C. are paddling dragon boats which means the competition is improving and Smithers has a chance. “I think we’re looking very good,” he said. “It might be a little tough for us against the best team from Kitimat but last year we raced a few times and finished just a couple of feet behind the lead, never a full boat length. So this year I think we’ll do even better.” The regatta kicks off in Terrace in Furlong Bay Doug Boersema and a crew of dragon boat paddlers will be on Lakelse Lake Sept. 8 at hitting the waters of Terrace, Sept. 8 for the coveted Lakelse Dragon Boat Mix-Up Regatta. 8 a.m.
On your Bachelor of Arts Degree in Psychology with a Minor in Law and Society from the University of British Columbia. We are all very proud of your accomplishment and wish you all the best in future. With love from Mom, Dad, Kyle, Vanessa and all your extended family.

Q
I have had recent surgery, what can massage therapy do for me?
A
2-10 days after in the acute post surgical stage we can reduce pain and swelling with manual lymph drainage. In the subacute stage we can reduce pain, muscle spasm and scar tissue using neuromuscular therapy, nerve mobilization, gentle myofascial release, and craniosacral therapy. In chronic stages of healing we can increase mobility and mobilize scar tissue with joint mobilization, fascial release, and remedial exercise. If the surgery was for an organ such as the gallbladder, stomach, colon, heart, hysterectomy or c-section then visceral mobilization is also indicated. You can markedly reduce pain and shorten the healing time, help prevent complications and compensations in the body utilizing the skills of an experienced RMT. Please call our clinic to speak to a therapist for more info.

Students harvest awards and knowledge Learning about dairy farming a must
Farming in Bulkley Valley poses challenges By Andrew Hudson
By Percy N. Hébert
Smithers/Interior News
Smithers/Interior News
Bulkley Valley students are distinguishing themselves in class and on the farm. Jeremy Rouw and Daniel Vandenberg, both from dairy farming stock, each won an award last spring at Lakeland College near Vermillion, Alta. For Vandenberg, 20, going to Lakeland was an easy decision, wanting to further his knowledge of the livestock industry. “The diploma does a great job of every aspect of livestock production,” Daniel said. Another selling point, was the student-run farm at the college, something that makes Lakeland unique, he said. At most agricultural colleges, Daniel explained, biosecurity reasons prohibit students from entering the barns. At Lakeland, on the other hand, students manage the farm and are involved in all aspects of the day-to-day running of the farm, including the finances. “It’s very hands on and student involvement is a key factor, it’s a great learning environment to be in,” Daniel said. A graduate of Bulkley Valley Christian School, Daniel said he particularly enjoyed the livestock nutrition course. “I enjoy formulating diets,” he said. Formulating diets is one thing, but meeting the nutrient requirement for livestock can be challenging, especially doing it with cost efficiency, Daniel explained. In addition to a course on nutrition, Daniel also completed courses in anatomy, physiology, pharmacology and livestock production.
Committed to our area’s over all well being by offering LOCAL produce, meats, baked goods, seafood, and more.
By 5 a.m. Wednesday, Jeremy Rouw had his eye on the thunderclouds gathering above the mountains near his family’s dairy farm on Walcott Road. Rain had already wiped out plans to make hay at a nearby farm the previous day, and Rouw was hoping for a sunnier start. That’s a typical morning for a B.C. farmer, maybe, but not your average 20 year-old. Rouw is one of a handful of Bulkley Valley farm kids looking to get their start in an industry where the average farmer is more twice their age. “It’s a little different,” he says. “It’s more of the older generation right now, and we’re kind of barging our way in.” Rouw just graduated from

Taking the courses was a necessary step towards his goal of taking over the family-owned dairy farm in Smithers, Daniel said. “There’s so much research going on and new ways of thinking, it can be hard to keep up,” he added. “So this was a great opportunity for me.” With one year to go before graduating from Lakeland College, Daniel is unsure what his next step will be.

Lakeland College, an agricultural school near Vermillion, Alberta. Jeremy’s dad, who also went to Lakeland, likes to say that his son chose it because of the pretty girl on the college brochure. “That’s his story,” he says, laughing. But judging by the scholarship Rouw earned there last year, let alone his 5 a.m. Wednesday, it seems farming was the bigger draw. At Lakeland, Rouw studied animal science, covering everything from anatomy to animal nutrition and disease. “It’s a lot of hands-on stuff,” he said. In his senior year, Rouw’s class broke into beef, sheep and dairy teams and ran a student-managed farm. Rouw took charge of dairy production. At one point, when the students over-shipped their milk quota, he brokered a deal with a neighbouring dairy to lease some of the quota they weren’t using. And while Lakeland instructors didn’t set their work hours, Rouw said he and his roommate would be in the barn at midnight if they had to. “You get what you put into it,” he said. Set on rolling prairie hills just a half hour from the Saskatchewan border, Rouw said Vermillion farming is a far cry from the Bulkley Valley. “They can build their barn and have their land right around them, whereas we’ve got the mountains and the creeks to fight with, trees to drive around,” he said. Alberta dairies also have lower shipping costs, he said, noting most grain gets hauled here from Westlock, Alberta while Bulkley Valley milk has to be shipped either to Edmonton or to Abbotsford.

It’s a huge undertaking but Michell and a team of band officials dug deep, and made it happen, tracking down several kids that had lost touch with relatives in Moricetown. “A lot of these kids have never seen where they lived,� Michell said. “We wanted to create an experience to show these kids they come from a strong nation, a beautiful nation. “We take good care of each other.� Most of the children found were very young when they left Moricetown, too young to remember much of the experience.

Although Tate noted her dad, who was adopted is still bitter about the experience he had, she feels privileged to have Haley back in her life, after relapsing on alcohol when her daughter was only four months old. “This is extremely important to us,� she said. “Native culture has been taken away from us, I grew up in a white family, I don’t know old teachings so it’s really important for our culture,� she said. “To know there are people out there who care about where you are and what you’re doing.� Although many of the kids who retuned this year were minors and easier to find, some retuned home later in life.

daughter knows where her family comes from. “My dad spent a lot of years looking for me and now with my daughter we’re reconnecting with family,� he said. This has led Michell to vow that Moricetown continue the tradition and keep their culture alive wherever their people may be. “Every time they come home they will know there is a place there for them,� Michell said. “Seeing a grandfather who had never seen his granddaughter before break into tears because she looked so much like his sister was incredible to watch.

Young dairy farmers committed to staying in Bulkley Valley VANDENBERG from A20 Daniel is considering pursuing a university degree in agriculture at the University of Alberta. His efforts at Lakeland paid off as he earned the John Nicol Agricultural Award which came with a $300 cheque and the recognition of his top marks and ambition to succeed. “I was surprised, but it felt good, because my schooling here is something i am very passionate about and I worked hard” Daniel said of the recognition, adding with a chuckle, “Something that I didn’t do enough during high school.” Although he may attend university in Alberta, Daniel said he has every intention of returning to farm in Smithers. “Smithers is a unique community for northern B.C., it has a large number of dairy producers in the area, and a strong dairy background,” he said. “I feel very blessed to have the opportunity to stay and work in this wonderful community.”
ROUW from A20 Those factors partly explain why Alberta dairies are nearly double the size of the national average. While Rouw enjoyed seeing how Alberta farmers run their dairies, he is hoping that upcoming free-trade talks don’t shut down the Canadian milk quota system that is so vital to dairy farmers here. “I think it’s good for Canada to control supply and demand in our own market,” he said. “We can keep our dairies small, like family farms, rather having to upgrade to 500 cows just to make it.” At $40,000 per cow, Rouw said Canada’s milk quota isn’t an easy thing to start on, even with the first-year break for starting farmers. “It’s a big commitment to just jump into and pay off,” he said. “A million dollars doesn’t seem like so much anymore.” But working at his family’s Goldoni Dairy and a nearby farm at Robin Creek, Rouw seems on the right track.

Minding Your Money Notice Kitimat-Stikine Hazelton District Public Library Grant-in-aid Amendment Bylaw No. 617, 2012. The Regional District of Kitimat-Stikine at the request of the Hazelton District Public Library Board gives notice that it proposes to amend the “Regional District of KitimatStikine Hazelton District Public Library Grant-in-aid Local Establishment Bylaw No. 303, 1993” by adopting “Kitimat-Stikine Hazelton District Public Library Grant-in-aid Amendment Bylaw No. 617, 2012”. Bylaw No. 617 is currently at third reading and may be adopted as early as September 14, 2012 Board meeting. The purpose of the Bylaw is:
Increase the maximum annual requisition limit that can be levied from $80,000 to $100,000 to meet current operational needs and provide for incremental future increases as required.
This Grant-in-aid service was established in 1985 by Supplementary Letters patent and converted to a local service in 1996 by Bylaw 303. In 1996, the maximum requisition was increased from $50,000 to $80,000 by electors assent in the District of New Hazelton and a portion of electoral Area “B” and by consent of the Village of Hazelton Council. To continue maintaining existing and future service levels the Hazelton District Public Library Board has requested the maximum requisition be increased to $100,000. A tax requisition in the order of $90,000 is projected for 2013 with incremental services thereafter as required. No change in the service area boundary is proposed. Costs are expected to continue to be recovered primarily by means of a property value tax based on net taxable value of land and improvements. Based on current assessments the net residential tax rate for different requisition amounts are estimated as follows:
$.52/$1,000 of net taxable value of land and improvements on a requisition of $80,000. $.58/$1,000 on a requisition of $90,000. $.65/$1,000 on a requisition of $100,000.
Persons wishing to inquire or inspect this Bylaw can view it on the Regional District’s website or contact the Regional District of Kitimat-Stikine at 300, 4545 Lazelle Avenue, Terrace, BC V8G 4E1; telephone (250)-615-6100 or 1-800-663-3208; www.rdks.bc.ca office hours are from 8:30 am to 4:30 pm Monday to Friday excluding holidays and can also seek additional information from the Hazelton District Public Library Board.
Time for a portfolio check-up Your personal health is important to you. That’s why you have periodic check-ups, follow your doctor’s recommendations on diet and exercise, and take your medications. Your financial life is also important to you. That’s why you should periodically perform a portfolio check-up and follow this prescription for maintaining its health. Why a check-up? For two very good reasons: • One, the value of each investment in your portfolio will change over time as a result of fluctuations in its market value. By periodically rebalancing your portfolio, you’ll get it back on track to reaching your financial goals. • Two, your financial situation and goals change over time – and that means your portfolio probably needs to be revamped to meet your evolving needs. When to check-up? You get statements from your bank, mutual fund investments, registered plans, stock purchases and sales, and your other investments. Review them at least every three months to compare your current returns against your longer-term goals and overall financial plan and if you’re off-track, make changes. Your prescription for portfolio health Here are a few important strategies for successful investing: • Follow a planned asset allocation strategy by constructing – and, very importantly, maintaining – a portfolio with a mix of investments across the three principal types of financial assets (cash, fixed-income vehicles and equities) that balance risk, create diversification, and will deliver the long-term returns you need to reach your financial goals. • Diversification is always the right way to go – even to the point of looking beyond Canadian markets. International markets don’t always follow Canadian or U.S. patterns. By adding foreign investments to your portfolio, you can lessen volatility and add the opportunity for enhanced returns. • Balance is the key. Experts and study after study agree that a balanced portfolio strategy is best over the longer term. Avoid chasing ‘winners’ and quickly dumping ‘losers’. If you do that, your portfolio is bound to become seriously unbalanced. • Rebalance to match your tolerance for risk. Your optimal asset mix depends on your age, income expectations, retirement dreams and much more – and it should contain investments that allow you to sleep comfortably at night. When the mix is right for you, you are not overly concerned about volatility or which asset class is performing or not performing at any particular time. Your financial plan is not written in stone; it’s a reflection of your changing life. A professional planner can help you perform a portfolio check-up that maintains your financial health.

Babine village yields treasures By Andrew Hudson Smithers/Interior News
Standing on what was once the floor of a Carrier longhouse standing by the Babine River, archeology student Adam Kantakis bends to point out a corner of folded birchbark just visible in the freshly dug soil. If lab tests of birch bark, fire-pit charcoal and other organic materials at the site prove at least as old as a smaller 2009 excavation some
50 metres away, the longhouse site may prove at least 1,500 years old. Kantakis, one of several grad students who worked on the dig this July and August, says the birchbark is likely the corner of a large container, about three feet wide at the mouth, used to store smoked salmon, berries and other household goods. It’s one of some 400 artifacts recovered from the site this summer by a team led by UNBC professor Farid Rahemtulla and funded by the
Lake Babine Nation. Some, like the remnants of a brick oven, may date to the years before the first contact between European settlers and Carrier peoples. Closer to surface were several historical artifacts, like a Hudson’s Bay Company harmonica and a flint-fired musket ball from the late 1790s, that already suggest what a major hub the riverside village was. “We’ve only done a small part of it,” Kantakis said.

Ganokwa Camp ramps up education By Dan Mesec Smithers/Interior News
Northwest Community College and the School of Exploration and Mining celebrated their Ramp up to Employment event last week with a tour of their field training facility at Ganokwa Camp. Showcasing their unique approach to developing the newest group of exploration miners and drillers in the Bulkley Valley. “This model is unique to Canada,” Industry liaison and employment advisor for the School of Exploration and Mining, Tony Harris said. “It only works because of the synergy between the Smithers Exploration Group and Northwest Community College. That partnership has allowed us to have this field camp and the camp belongs to our industry partners.” Ganokwa camp was developed in partnership with some of the industries top employers. As Smithers continues to grow as a hub for mining and
exploration in the northwest region, the School of Mining and Exploration is continuing to pursue prospects that demonstrate only the highest qualities desired by industry leaders. “I really feel like what we’re doing is modeling to [possible employees] what will be expected of them,” Harris said. “It’s a unique teaching method. A lot of our students haven’t done that well in school, it’s not really their forte. We feel that handson, out in the bush, experiential field training kind of stuff is the key to it all.” The Ramp Up to Employment tour of Ganokwa Camp was introduced to allow people the ability to witness what would be expected of them if entered into the program. Each year Harris is charged with the task of selecting the next round of students. With over 160 applicants already looking to join the fall semester, Harris has his work cut out for him and said finding something special that an applicant will bring
to the program is the key for successes. Harris said, because of the meticulous selection process and the intense seven weeks in camp, which puts prospective employees to the test in a field camp environment, it takes away a lot of the risk for employers once they decide to hire a fresh graduate of the program. “That to me is where the real value for industry is,” he said. “They don’t have to do basic training and essential skills training. We already to that for them and they’re very supportive of it.” WorkBC Employment Services Centre Manager, Cheryl-Ann Stahel said the Ramp Up to Employment program was developed to bring service providers together to discuss how to streamline employment opportunities for those looking for work in industry. She said programs like that offered at Ganokwa Camp are essential for employers looking for specific skills in their workers and is a steady flow
for employment. “The Ramp Up events are really cool because it’s all of these service providers picking a number of things to do during the year that are going to benefit our respected clients and participants and students,” Stahel said. “The Ganokwa tour is the second time we’ve had this tour and it’s to introduce prospective students to go and see an actual training camp. “It was incredibly successful last year and it looks like it will be a successes again this year.” Stahel said tours like these allow people to see where a good fit would be for them. The general attitude in camp, safety aspects and the psychological affects of being away from home for an extended period of time. Ganokwa Camp was set up with a number of class room tents with wood stoves and large screen TV’s. Ganokwa Camp is a replica of a long established camp drillers and exploration miners would typically see in the field. Equipped with a first aid tent,
a galley, a kitchen, washrooms and showers, a gathering tent for meeting and down time and sleeping quarters for every student. The program has been so well received that last February Harris traveled to northern Quebec to conduct a presentation to industry leaders in the East about what they’ve been doing at Ganokwa Camp. Harris said that come September two representatives from the Quebec regional government will be in Smithers to witness first hand how valuable a program like this is to the industry and will be looking to replicate the same success in northern Quebec. A value that is catching on, not only across the country but the continent.
With a student to teacher ratio of 1-6, the program was built around the needs and wants of the industry as told to them by industry leaders in the field. Mostly looking for safety requirements and certificates before they enter the work force. Fitness is a high priority. In most cases, once students graduate it will not be uncommon for them to put in a 10 hour day everyday. Hiking up steep mountains and hauling several pounds of equipment into far off camps. However, an experience like this is invaluable said Brennan Bailey, a recent grad, “It opens up a world of opportunity. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain,” he said. Cole Lamke, 19,
another recent grad of the School of Mining and Exploration program, said although the program isn’t for everyone, it is a reality check for anyone entering the industry who may not be familiar with it. Lamke said other than learning how to build and maintain camps, they learned valuable skills like how to survive in the bush, what kind of moss is good to eat and how to navigate alpine conditions with a compass. “It’s a tough experience but it’s a good one to have,” Lamke said. “If you can survive seven weeks of this, you can survive anything.” For more information about the School of Mining and Exploration contact Tony Harris at 1-877277-2288, ext. 5831.

Condoms, sponges and lip balm tips When cleaning out your medicine cabinet or kitchen cupboard consider a few things that might need to be tossed, including condoms by the expiration date on the wrapper, which is usually no later than four years after the condom was manufactured. I never thought they had an expiration date. But if kept in a cool, dry place they can last. If stored otherwise the material can break down, opening the door to unplanned pregnancy and increasing the risk of sexually transmitted diseases. Best storage place for condoms is your night stand drawer, not in your wallet or purse. Solid over-the-counter (OTC) pain relievers, toss no later than three years after their expiration date. Kitchen sponges kept and used for weeks, even months can harbor
bacteria. Wipe a counter with one, your smearing bacteria around instead of cleaning. Soak in a disinfectant solution daily for a few minutes or microwave them for 20 seconds daily (make sure they are moist before putting them in there) will zap bugs. Toss your water filter every three months, otherwise bacteria and mold can build up within the filter. Kitchen cutting boards when they develop cracks or other visible signs of wear. Bacteria can get inside the grooves. Wash the cutting board by hand, use one tablespoon of bleach per gallon of water, pour on, let stand for a few minutes, rinse, pat dry with clean paper towel. Toss your lip balm after you have a cold, flu, cold sore or any infection near

Then the Princesses and the Rodeo Queen, all riding horseback. The Rodeo Queen’s horse was a paint and truly a royal ride. Something that had
people moving back was a man wearing the hide of a bear, someone said a grizzly. His performance when he bent down and posed was riveting and scary. Main Street was crowded with bystanders who cheered and waved to the ones in the parade. Search and Rescue were there and I think this was a first time for them as well, don’t remember them last year. Not as many old cars this time but those in the parade were lovely. The CICK Community Radio float was made of various musical instruments with a real DJ sitting on top playing music.

Bennett’s dream of a school still alive By Shannon Hurst Hazelton/Interior News
The Dalai Lama XIV said “there is a saying in Tibetan, ‘Tragedy should be utilized as a source of strength.’ No matter what sort of difficulties, how painful experience is, if we lose our hope, that’s our real disaster.” While there are many great examples of this in the world, Hazeltons’ Tiffany Bennett is a living testimony to those words for many, especially David and Sky Jones. In August of 2008, tragedy struck the Patrick-Jones family and while hope seemed something that was lost at that moment, over time it began to surface and it came in the form of Bennett. Two years ago Bennett joined the Social Justice Club at
Hazelton Secondary School and each student decided to create and take on an idea. Some challenged corporations to better their practices, others started green initiatives in their school and the community and Bennett decided to honour her good friend and former classmate Savanah. This came in the form of fundraising to build the Savanah Patrick-Jones Memorial School. She contacted World Vision and learned that it would cost $15,000 to build a school in a third world country and started out on the fundraising trail. She held a variety of events such as bake sales and coffee houses. However, when she was nearing her goal at the end of last year she was thrown a curve ball. “It was supposed to cost $15,000 originally and we were
just nearing the goal I went on their website and found out they had increased their price to $22,000,” Bennett said. “So that meant we were now aiming for $23,000 because we want an extra $1,000 so we can get school supplies too.” Although Bennett was off to University in a few short months, she was determined to reach her goal, David said and she lined up yet another fundraiser for the next time she would be returning to the Hazeltons. “She (Bennett) showed up directly from UNBC at Christmas last year,” David said. “She was sick with a cold. “But when she makes a commitment she makes a commitment and that girl just gave it her all and raised even more money.” With Bennett heading back to school, it made the past year
a little harder for organizing events. But Bennett kept her eye on her goals and hopes was not to be deterred. When she returned home at the end of the school year Bennett once again began planning fundraisers and a few weeks ago held another one at the Kispiox Valley Community Hall. “Things are going really good,” she said. “After the coffee house we did, it put us within $2000 of our goal and there is still cheques coming in. “We have still have money coming in from the sales of the Social Justice Coffee and I have had a lot of people approach me and ask if they can donate. “The support from the community has been amazing.” There is hope that in a few weeks they will have reached
their final goal which meant Bennett could start to plan the next steps. “I contacted World Vision recently about naming the school after it’s built and possibly building it in Mexico because Savanah did some volunteer work there,” she said. “Also if it was in Mexico it would be a lot easier for people to help build it and a lot of people from Hazelton want to be a part of that. “It would be so great if we could send a big delegation of volunteers and it would be a lot fun I think.” For David, the idea to build a school in Mexico is something he things would be a great idea. “Lynn and Savanah went down to Mexico several times and in March 2008 Savanah was there on Spring Break with a friend,” he shared.

Spectra Energy –A gas line proposal through Gitxsan lands
T
he Hereditary Chiefs welcome development, but the latter has to meet environmental and operational standards. The Chiefs have to be involved in any development through consultation, traditional use studies and who will conduct them, applicable training that will benefit to the House groups; discussion pertaining to significant investment, a sports complex for example, what future and present jobs are available in all phases of proposed development on Gitxsan territory. One such development proposed is a gas line through Gitxsan country. Spectra Energy first met with the Watershed chairs and Gitxsan Corporation where they showed Chiefs where the proposed project would be on the territories. Spectra Energy
was then told they had to meet with the Title holders of potentially affected areas, which they did on Aug. 20, 2012. The track record of Spectra Energy, as usual, was of paramount concern, specifically its safety record regarding water contamination. The answer from Spectra regarding its track record has been two leaks in fifty years. That this gas dissipates if a break happens, unlike crude oil. Educating Spectra Energy facts like we are legally recognized in Canada as Title holders of 33,000 square kilometres and we
have no Canadian government affiliation. Any agreement signed would have to take the latter into account. Will there be a refinery? If so will locals benefit from cheaper heating and fuel costs? Overall the Hereditary Chiefs will continue talks and take a field trip of this proposed route that will happen on August 22nd. Further meetings will happen sometime in September. This why the Hereditary chiefs put together the Gitxsan Development Corporation, when companies come in the GDC can speak them on level terms. Our resource policies can be implemented as the environment sustainability is a must. Will update further development sometime in September, the process will be a long one. I welcome your comments on this or any other article.

Mountainview Bible camp another success By Shannon Hurst Hazelton/Interior News
This year’s Annual Mountainview Church Bible Camp for children three years of age and older was another huge success according to organizer Peggy Muir. “We had such a great turnout again this year with almost 30 children at our Mountainview camp,” she said. “The team from Shaughnessy United Church in Vancouver provide such great leadership and so many fun activities for all the children and we are just so blessed to have them here again.” The group from Shaughnessy held two camps again this year, a morning camp in Hazelton and an afternoon camp in Gitsegukla. Participants made unique crafts every day, such as decorating mugs, playing games inside and out, singing songs and learning about the Word of God. Muir also sent out a huge thank you to Charlette Lindford who opened her home to the nine adults and teens who came as well as all the parents and church members who made baked goods and supplied the snacks for the week at both the Hazelton and Gitsegukla camps. “We have so much support from everyone and we really hope we will have the chance to have the group from Shaughnessy back again next year,” she shared.
The children and leaders joined together on Friday to create a circle of thanks and the adults and teen leaders shared what they were grateful for after their week of fun with the children.

School will be a reality SCHOOL from B1 “They took a bunch of sports equipment like used soccer balls to a Montessori school in Akumal,” David said. “It would be really great to build a school down there especially with the motivation of being able to have people from Hazelton go and help build it.” While it is still unclear whether or not they will be able to build the memorial school in Mexico, Bennett said she is asking for anywhere in Central or South America. “I am eagerly awaiting to hear from World Vision,” she said. “It’s all starting to come together and it’s really exciting.” David added that wherever the school gets built it will be wonderful and he is very grateful to both Bennett and the community. “This community has been incredibly supportive and generous and Bennett has been a relentless leader,” he said. “This is her baby and she has done a great job shepherding it. “She is a really special young lady. “She’s such a classy kid, she’s a straight A student, a World taekwando champion, so for her to be as committed as she is, is an honour to Savanah and to herself. “She has been raised well and is a true class act.” For those who would like to donate to the school, there is an account set up at the Bulkley Valley Credit Union.

THREE RIVERS REPORT
Hazelton businesses all about community service I
t has often been said that the degree of a businesses success can be determined by the personnel and quality of the service provided especially when it comes to a company that deals with the public. While there are always exceptions, it’s a pretty safe statement to say that many of the local businesses in both Smithers and Hazelton will, and do, go above and beyond when it comes to customer service. This willingness to help out people and go the extra mile is not only truly appreciated by most but it also goes a long way to ensuring the company’s success. Just to name a few in the past week alone, Northline Collision not only made a huge effort to help us out but they also have such an incredible staff from their mechanics to their amazing office ladies on the front line. The Bulkley Valley Credit Union in New Hazelton is the most people oriented bank I have ever known and in fact, many people are surprised at the level of service that they go to. They know their customers, are always smiling and seem to find a way to make things work for so many.
MY TOWN Shannon Hurst
MacDonalds Grocery Store in New Hazelton and the Country Herb Health Food store will bring in special things for customers and always help out to local causes. The same can be said for places like the New Hazelton Town Pantry, Bertema’s in Old Hazelton, Geraco, Mountainview Tire and both Gitanmaax Food and Fuel and the Kispiox Gas bar. In fact, just about every business in the Hazelton’s will
oast Mountains Board of Education School District 82
do everything they can for their customers. I like to think it’s yet another benefit to living in a small town. One would be hard pressed to walk into a city store and find that level of commitment and service to their customers, yet it does happen. In addition to local business, many of our services such as Wrinch Memorial Hospital and the Access Centre also have great staffs that not only knows their customers but will go the extra distance distanc to help out. The same can be said for many of o our local government representatives represe such as Lyn Newbery Newbe our Hazelton Trustee for the Board of Education or Doug D Donaldson or Alice Maitland and on and on I could go. I wish I had room to name every business, service and person and all their great staff to give recognition where it’s due. So if you’ve made someone’s day, done that little bit extra for someone, given your best at your job and then some, we the people of the Hazelton’s thank you. You have made our community a great place to live and work.
HERBAL HUNGER Black bears are looking healthy this year according to local Conservation Officers but there is a shortage of berries in the alpine regions this year which could force the bears into town as the Fall progresses.

Pioneer Day results The chess and checkers competition was won by Marrisa Denny. The under-13 watermelon eating contest went to Austin Owen, the 13 - 18 age-group winner was Dustin Muldoe, and the over 18 winner was John Olson. It was a lucky day for Pam Torres, she won the helicopter ride raffle and the Art and Antler Pioneer Day print titled, The Half Remembered Pasture. Best costume for the men was Rowan Edwards and Charlotte Sullivan on the women’s side. Once again the parade was a success with lots of floats and participants. This year’s winners were: First place was the Gitxsan Child & Family Service float, the Conservation Camp float was second and third place went to the Gitanmaax Brighter Futures float. Honorary mention went to the RCMP with the full contingency in red serge. For the Fun Run, Alec Busby won the five-kilometre race and Richard Joseph took the 10-km run. Other highlights for the organizers this year included the Skeena Watershed Conservation Coalition who offered rafting trips and the Hazelton Area Theatre Society, led by Regan Kern and Brittany Morrison who performed around town for spectators.

THREE RIVERS REPORT
Candles by the River a success Hazelton/Interior News
For the past for seven years Jude Hobenshield has been holding the Candles by the River Celebration during the Annual Pioneer Day festivities in Old Hazelton. The luminaries are a fundraiser for cancer research. For Hobenshield, cancer is an ongoing concern as it has affected her family for many years. “Just about every female in my family has had breast cancer,” Hobenshield said. “Seven females in my family have passed away from the disease and I know that one day it will be on my doorstep. “So I would rather raise money now and try and make a difference while I can as it’s a big thing on my mind, especially having three daughters.” Every year the turnout for the Candles by the River Celebration has increased and while raising money
may not have been the sole reason for creating the ceremony, it’s a large part in trying to find a cure and helping those with the disease, Hobenshield said. “The Canadian Cancer Society does a lot of things to help people,” she said. “They do put a lot of money into research and finding a cure but they also help people by giving them a place to stay and a support network.” For example, there’s the Canadian Cancer Society, they have a place in Vancouver where cancer patients and their partners can stay for $44 a day while they are undergoing treatment. That includes three meals a day, Hobenshield explained and sometimes they can do even more for people. It was this type of information that inspired Hobenshield to take the luminary event in Hazelton to the next level . So, two years ago she opened a bank account at the Bulkley Valley Credit
Union in Hazelton. “A few years ago we opened an account at the credit union called Gifts from others,” she said. “This is for people who can’t afford to go and get treatment. “Our community has so many people with cancer and many of them can’t afford to get anywhere so we wanted to find a way to help them out.” Hobenshield also said the bank account was important to have as it allows people to donate all year long. “In the past I would send all the money raised from the event to Cops for Cancer as it’s another great fundraiser,” she said. “But now we’ll be putting half of the year’s donations into the bank account.” This year was Hobenshield’s most successful in terms of fundraising, an accomplishment she attributes to the addition of a raffle as well as the return of the Demolition Cars for Cancer which she held a few years back.
• •
“This year’s turn out was awesome,” she said. “We raised $600, which is my best year yet and sold a total of 113 luminaries. “I think the combination of luminaries, Scentsy raffle and cars for cancer was awesome. “The Cars for Cancer was so cool.” The cars were a hit with the kids, Hobenshield said and that lured the adults over, and once they realized why the cars were there, they paid to paint them. “It turned out great,” Hobenshield said. “Sam and Gil Turner, Jaclyn and Keith Whitecotton, Gerald Whitecotton and his girlfriend Rena, were all responsible for that and I cannot thank them and everyone who supported the event enough.” For those who missed out on the Candles by the River this year, Hobenshield said she would like to remind everyone they can donate any time at the New Hazelton Bulkley Valley Credit Union.
