It’s been a good tourism season for Smithers, despite changes to fishing regulations. From the top of Hudson Bay Mountain to the streets of Smithers and the surrounding rivers, speakers at the Smithers Chamber of Commerce luncheon had nothing but good news. Tourism contributes an estimated $25 million to the Smithers economy, Gladys Atrill of Tourism Smithers said. One of the big smiles belonged to Chrissy Driedger from Hudson Bay Mountain thanks to the success of the summer chairlift program and renovations to the Skyline Lodge. “We saw a 63 per cent increase in chairlift rides this summer,” Driedger said. Trips up Hudson Bay Mountain
were filled with an equal mix of residents and visitors. Adding to the success of the chairlift was the popularity of the halibut and chips visitors to the top of the mountain could purchase, Driedger added. With this summer’s success and good progress being made on the real-estate project atop the mountain, Driedger said HBC had one main focus. “We’re looking to make the ski hill a year-round destination,” she said. Fergus Tomlin, director of the Bulkley Valley Museum admitted he couldn’t be happier with what turned out to be a busy summer, especially for the museum’s Culture Crawl activity. “It was very, successful,” he said. The crawl is a self-guided tour of Smithers featuring unique
architecture as well as small museum displays set up in various businesses around town. “It gets people out of their cars and into businesses and the museum,” Tomlin said. With the success there are plans for expansion. Tomlin is developing a FiveRiver Crawl, encompassing nine museums from Burns Lake to Hazelton. Fishing is a big part of the tourism market for Smithers and recent changes to fishing regulations regarding non-resident anglers have put Smithers Tourism to the challenge. The result is a campaign branded as Steelhead Paradise, aimed primarily at out-of-country salmon fishers. New provincial regulations prohibit non-residents from fishing for salmon on weekends and as such
can impact how long they spend in the Bulkley Valley. The Steelhead Paradise strategy has a singular goal. “We want anglers to know they’re welcome here,” she said. The challenge, Atrill said is to keep the non-resident anglers in the Bulkley Valley when they can’t fish. The Steelhead Paradise website showcases options for non-resident fishers, including identifying river locations where non-residents can fish on weekends and where to fish for other species of fish. The website also lists a variety of activities visitors can take in while staying in the region, such as golfing and rafting, in addition to the restaurants and lodging facilities. “It’s a strategy to keep [nonresident] anglers busy when they can’t fish,” Atrill said.

The Village of Telkwa council are happy they received $15,000 from the Wetzin’Kwa Community Forest Corporation earlier this summer. The community forest also doled out a similar amount to the other two stakeholders in the forest, the Town of Smithers and the Office of the Wet’suwet’en. However, the Village of Telkwa is somewhat perplexed by the amount they received considering the community forest posted revenues of more than $2 million dollars. Telkwa Mayor Carman Graf met
with Dean Daly, a representative of the community forest to discuss the matter of funding. Daly told Graf the funding this year was based on the original agreement signed with the three stakeholders. “But there’s some disagreement on how the original funding model was set up,” Graf said. Graf plans to speak Taylor Bachrach, mayor of Smithers and representatives from the Office of Wet’suwet’en. The mood around the Village offices is still one of utter joy with the news Telkwa was nominated for a United Nations Liveable Communities Award. Adding to the excitement, three
people will be flying to Al Ain, United Arab Emirates to attend the awards ceremonies scheduled for Nov. 22 − 26. In other council notes, council gave the go ahead for
the construction of wheelchair accessible washrooms near the newly-built stage at the soccer fields. Village Council has applied for a grant to cover the costs of the construction.
Council also agreed to provide the Tyee Lake Dragons with Telkwa baseball caps. The Dragons are representing Telkwa at a provincial competition.

N EWS Prime Rib Special Council pushing for safer transportation Last Friday of every month
By Dan Mesec Smithers / Interior News
Representatives from the Town of Smithers representatives are in Victoria this week for the annual Union of British Columbian Municipalities convention, aimed at building solidarity among municipalities, as delegates work to lobby senior levels of government. Every year local governments submit numerous resolutions to UBCM for discussion during the convention focusing on local issues such as RCMP contracts, property tax management and local representation for aboriginal treaty negotiations. This year, Smithers council forwarded a resolution regarding the Highway of Tears to be included during UBCM’s convention. However, after a review of the resolution, that made specific reference to the 2006 Highway of Tears Symposium recommendation to establish and fund shuttle bus service between northern communities, UBCM referred the resolution back to the North Central Local Government Association (NCLGA). “This resolution was referred back to the area association because it concerns a very specific change to busing service in the region and so our resolutions committee felt it would be more effective for the area association to take the lead on this,� UBCM president, Heath Slee, said. Slee mentioned that UBCM felt it was a practical decision to refer such a specific resolution to the NCGLA in the hopes it would get the most support possible from delegates at NCGLA, to take the lead on lobbying the provin-

cial government for transit solutions. “The resolution makes good sense and I hope the issue attracts the attention it deserves by the area association,� Slee added. For Smithers Mayor Taylor Bachrach, however, the issue is of the utmost importance and essential to establish a safe and reliable form of public transportation in the
north, which could, over time, remove the stigma and deplorable labeling of Highway 16 as the Highway of Tears. “Private bus services are an option for many people in our community,� Bachrach said. “ “But what we’re trying to do with this resolution is provide an affordable, convenient transportation

option for the most vulnerable people in our community, especially young women.� Over the past 30 years, it’s believed close to 50 women have gone missing or been killed along the 1,347 kilometre stretch of Highway 16 from the B.C. Alberta boarder West to the town of Masset on the island of Haida Gwaii.
You see a dog tied day after day to a back porch or fence, lying lonely on a pad of bare, packed dirt. Abandoned, fed sometimes, mostly forgotten but chained up, it cannot move to comfort, shelter or companionship. Being alone goes against the dog’s most basic instinct.

N EWS Safe passage needed for Highway 16 UBCM from A3 So far, RCMP officials have not charged anyone in connection with the murders or disappearances of these women, most of which were hitchhiking along Highway 16 and never heard form again. Last year the RCMP released a composite sketch of a possible suspect. Still, no one has been apprehended. Although numerous billboards along Highway 16, urge people to refrain from hitchhiking, some have no other choice when faced with a $114 Grey-
hound Bus ticket from Prince George to Prince Rupert. “People who are hitchhiking are doing so because they don’t have another affordable option available to them,” explained Bachrach. “I really think as community leaders we can put our heads together, work with other levels of government, work with organizations working on the Highway of Tears issue and come up with a solution that works and I think all our communities will be stronger as a result.”

Alaskan fisher mauled by Grizzly By Percy N. Hébert Smithers/Interior News
Last Tuesday evening, an angler from Anchorage, Alaska was mauled by a grizzly bear along the Morice River. The attack occurred around 7:30 p.m., 23 kilometres up the Morice River Road, as the fisher was preparing to leave the area, Supervisor for the Bulkley Stikine Zone with the Conservation Officer Service Kevin Nixon said. “It was a very serious attack,” Nixon said. “He suffered severe injuries to his face and many puncture wounds and claw wounds to the upper torso.” The 65-year-old angler, whose name has not been released pending contact with family, is lucky to have survived the attack, Nixon said. Despite the severity of his injuries, the fisher crawled approximately 300 metre back to his vehicle along the Morice River Road where he was spotted by a woman driving by who upon noticing
Conservation officers posted signs and cordoned off the area where an Alaskan angler was mauled by a grizzly bear last week. Jackie Lieuwen photo
the wounds called emergency services. The victim was taken by ambulance to the hospital in Smithers, stabilized and medevaced to Vancouver General Hospital. Based on what Nixon described as, “difficult
communication,” the angler believes he surprised a grizzly sow with at least one cub. The Conservation Office Service closed off the area where the attack occurred and searched by foot and by air, but didn’t locate the
bear or the cub(s), although the area did have abundant signs indicating bears were in the area, including fur, scat, and claw marks on trees. Based on what the angler said and an investigation at the site, Nixon believes the angler
had kneeled, behind two fallen cottonwood trees on a gravel bar, to put his gear away. The sow approached but didn’t see the angler until he stood up to leave which startled the bear and provoked the attack. “It was just a whole
bunch of bad luck,” Nixon said. “We’re confident it was a defensive attack, there was at least one cub, maybe two, but we’re not sure.” The area of the attack remains cordoned off. Such attacks are rare in the Bulkley
Valley, Nixon, whose been in the area for 22 years, said. “Other than a couple of attacks around Burns Lake and a couple of minor attacks in the Hazeltons, we haven’t had an attack like this around Smithers in years,” he said.

Taking a stand
Stand by me - Ben E. King
O
ne of the nice things that happens as you mature, or at least get older, is the number of things you hold important get whittled down. I like to say I have reduced the number of lines in the sand I have, it prevents me from tripping over myself. By contrast, with youthful exuberance usually comes a chest full of things that are important, clothes, cars, sound systems, televisions, which restaurants you frequent and so on. With time the list gets whittled down to health, friendships and a healthy environment. At least for me it has. So it is a conversation with a younger person triggered these thoughts in me. She admitted taking a stand was difficult and wondered when is the right time to take a stand. The right time to take a stand is before it’s too late, before there’s no turning back. We have reached the precipice in so many areas. With more than seven billion people on the planet we are chewing through non-renewable resources like kids on a Halloween high. Just like kids on Halloween we’re eating the best and easiest candies first and with gusto. This is where I draw the line. I, along with many other Canadians have compromised long enough, so long we have hardly anything left to compromise. Selling oil or natural gas to China is only going help China and a few Canadian pocketbooks, perhaps even the federal and provincial coffers. But what happens when the tarsands and gas run out? Sure, I might be six feet under, but my children and grandchildren won’t. They are one of the few lines in the sand. So this is where I’m taking a stand. Percy N. Hébert/Interior News
Telkwa brimming with great volunteers
I
would like to use this guest view space to give credit to volunteers. Here in Telkwa we rely upon volunteers to be our first responders. These men and women in our small Village work hard to keep our citizens (and those in the surrounding area) safe and to offer help when we need it. We owe the Telkwa Volunteer Fire Department a big thanks. As Mayor of Telkwa I want to let the public know that the Bulkley Valley Kinsmen put on a top notch event this year for the 100th Anniversary of the
Telkwa BBQ. The Kinsmen put in hundreds of hours to fundraise, plan and carry out one gala dinner, two huge concerts and the biggest demolition derby the BBQ grounds have ever hosted. If you weren’t one of the 14,000 people to pass through the gates on the Labour Day long weekend, you missed out. Thanks are due to the Bulkley Valley Kinsmen for their huge amount of work to bring people to our Village for a safe and memorable celebration. Thanks also go out to Telkwa Community Initiatives Society, the

Thankful for RCMP and SVFD Editor: The hedge fire that occurred on Firday Sept 14, on Third Avenue, was unfortunately at my house. This hedge that was burnt up as I understand it was around 50 years old. I suspect that I will never see it look the same again in my life time. It was one of the most redeeming features of this property. It saddens me to think that this may have been the work of vandals and the damage is possibly $15,000 - $20,000 for the debris removal and replanting, should I decide to go that route.
Having said that, I must convey my appreciation to the Smithers Fire Department and the local RCMP. I was notified of the fire by my son who was in the house at the time. By the time I got home both the RCMP and Fire Department were at the scene. The fire was already out and was kept from doing any damage to my house or my neighbours. I would like to extend a big thank you to both of these organizations for a job well done. Dale Clarke Smithers

(re: Adult entertainment immoral, Interior News, Sept. 12, 2012) Mr. Grasmeyer states that, “families and relationships that have been ripped apart, having pornography as an element in their demise.” I have never heard of this happening in my almost 60 years of being on this planet. I certainly have heard of infidelity, money, physical and mental abuse,
substance use and many many other issues causing relationship problems, not once has porn been involved. From my experience most normal couples enjoy a little spice in their relationships. The Victorian Age ended, we now live in a society that allows for freedom of thought and expression, and that is our beautiful Canada, where there is room for all to share

Enbridge not worth it Editor: In my opinion the proposed Enbridge pipeline isn’t worth the risk. Take the time to think about it.
Do you really trust an oil company when they screw us at the gas pumps? Look at what we pay per litre, way over priced. It’s pocket padding in it’s purest form. Now they want us in northern British Columbia to put our environment at high risk just so they can ship Alberta oil to the East. Enbridge are nothing less than straight out liars and cheats who’ve been screwing us at the gas pumps for years, making stories on why they are always jacking up the price of gas. It’s one made up lie after another and now they want us to trust them. I say to Enbridge and other huge oil companies take your pipeline, your bucket’s
of money and your untruths and stick them where the sun don’t shine. Fred Romanov Topley

Letters Thank you to hospital staff Editor: My family and I were in Smithers in July of this year for our summer holiday. While we were there my step son Ben (who is epileptic) had a series of approx 8 − 10 seizures consecutively while as we came into town. We took him to the Bulkley Valley District Hospital. It was about 7:30 p..m. Once there it was really a matter of minutes before we were greeted
by a gentleman by the name of Dr. C Moisey, again this was after regular hours. He took the time to hear the concerns expressed by both myself and my husband regarding Ben’s health and current situation. This can be rare as Ben does not primarily reside with us. Dr. Moisey followed through in such a kind, supportive and professional manner. He had Ben spend the night for observations and by morning had run
as many tests as he could and contacted as many professionals who have worked with Ben in the past to get a thorough picture of Ben’s health status. Again may I remind you we are just visiting your lovely community. By the time we left the hospital we all felt safe, supported and cared for. This is more time and effort that has been put into any of us in the past. Ben had no further seizures during our holiday or on our trip back home. Once we arrived
home we also had contact from Ben’s specialist from B.C. childrens hospital and are now kept in regular contact with her, again thanks to Dr. Moisey. Thank you to the wonderful nursing staff that helped us get through that night and to you Dr. Moisey for doing all you do for your patients. For listening, caring, and following through. Your one in a million! Our kindest regards. Marc, Lisa and Ben Robitaille Kamloops

Cullen to face off against DFO By Percy N. Hébert Smithers/Interior News
Nathan Cullen, NDP MP StikineBulkley Valley, got part of his wish last week. Cullen sought and received approval from the National Energy Board’s joint review panel into the proposed Enbridge pipeline to crossexamine Department of Fisheries and Oceans officials at the JRP hearings. “My questioning will be specific to the role of the federal government,” Cullen said. “The response of DFO to the Panel’s requests for comment and risk assessment has been disappointing and in need of clarification. “I expect to get such clarification through my questions.” Cullen is looking for answers to specific questions. Cullen said he
wanted clarification on how the Fisheries Act applies to the proposed Northern Gateway Pipeline, specifically as it relates to habitat loss, habitat protection and water crossings. Unfortunately, the NEB joint review panel did not give Cullen the same courtesy regarding his request to cross examine officials from other federal government agencies such as the departments of transportation, natural resources and the environment. “These departments hold key aspects to the public’s understanding of the project and the government’s role in the process,” a frustrated Cullen said. “Their responses to the questions I seek to ask are important to my constituents and to all Canadians. “The full impact of the proposed project will be difficult to know if the hard
Check e h t t u o great ! s r e y l f
questions cannot be asked.” Cullen, NDP House Leader, also committed he and his colleagues in the Official Opposition will continue to question the Conservative government on the Enbridge project in Parliament. “The government should still answer these questions, unless they know that Canadians won’t like the answers.” The Enbridge joint review panel hearings are now in Edmonton for the technical phase. The panel is hearing submissions regarding the economic issues surrounding the proposed pipeline. In October, the joint review panel is scheduled to travel to Prince George to hear submissions regarding the safety aspects of the proposed pipeline. The panel then returns to Prince Rupert where it will

Cullen gets his chance to crossexamine DFO officials by telephone in Prince George in midOctober. Cullen is also scheduled to question DFO officials in person in Prince Rupert during the November 22 − 30 sitting days. The technical phase of the hearings is expected to end in Prince Rupert on Dec. 18. Final arguments will take place in March and April 2013. Canadian Diabetes Association

AIDS/HIV Walk for Life Walk raises awareness about preventable disease By Dan Mesec Smithers / Interior News
Smithers’ residents gathered at the Friendship Centre last weekend to bring awareness to the growing concern over HIV and AIDS in the north by walking down Main Street in solidarity. The group in Smithers was small but dedicated to seeing an end to the spread of a devastating disease that is preventable in every way. “I think it’s important to keep the AIDS walk alive in Morristown, Hazleton and Smithers because there are people we worked with that have passed on and one of the things they wanted us to do is keep passing on the message so others don’t fall victim to the illness,” organizer, Marilyn Morrison said. The spread of HIV is still growing in North America despite nearly 20 years of campaigning to educate and
introduce a greater awareness to the public. Nearly 25 per cent of people with HIV/AIDS don’t know they are infected, according to a Northern Health newsletter from 2011. Last year Northern Health launched a task force to engage northern communities with HIV discussions on where to get tested and how to avoid contracting the disease. Organizations like Positive Living continue to bring awareness to a disease that is often looked at with much stigma. One of their primary objectives is to debunk much of that stigma. The Scotia Bank AIDS Walk for Life is part of that campaign. “One of the things we hope for is to walk in memory of people we’ve lost,” Morrison said. “The hope for a cure and support and knowledge for people to protect themselves against
the illness.” Northern Health also just launched a new website dedicated to informing the community about what they can do to help in the fight against AIDS. HIV 101 is an online resource centre for many at risk of infection. With tips on how to prevent the spread of HIV, what you can do if infected and how to cope with the life-long struggles during treatments. For many, the Scotia Bank AIDS Walk for Life is more than just bringing awareness to the issue, it’s to remember those who were lost. “What drives me is to protect my family and friends from getting infected,” Morrison explains. “I don’t want anyone to live with a chronic illness.” “I’ve seen what happens to people and it’s not necessary to suffer through illness until you die, having to take medications everyday.”

Financial planning beyond the numbers What is a financial plan? Why do you need one? Good questions – and the answers should be as personal as your fingerprints. That’s because, even though financial planning might be perceived as a catch-all term for a set of steps and actions aimed at achieving financial security, your plan must be precisely designed for your unique situation and life goals. But to get you started in the right direction, here is a general answer to the first question: What is a financial plan? • A financial plan can include: investment planning, cash flow planning, insurance planning, estate planning, retirement planning, and tax planning. • To be successful, your plan should be developed according to the financial planning process, which includes: • Goal setting – to establish and prioritize your goals and concerns. • Data gathering – assembling all your financial info to understand your current financial situation. • Financial analysis – using your current and projected financial situation to find the best ways to reduce your taxes, assure you will have enough income to cover your expenses during retirement, meet your ongoing income needs, protect your family and income if you become disabled or die unexpectedly … and uncover any other personal financial questions that need to be answered. • Plan formulation and recommendations – discuss, review and decide on alternatives and solutions for achieving your financial and life goals. • Plan implementation – the steps you need to take to make your plan work. • Monitoring and plan review – you should review your plan at least annually or when major life events occur by looking at your important life goals, investment portfolio and performance, cash and savings management history, lifestyle protection (insurance), retirement planning, estate planning, and tax minimization strategies.

So, in a nutshell, that’s what a financial plan is. Now, to answer your second question: Why do you need one? That’s easy: If you have an income, a family (or the hopes of one), dreams of a comfortable retirement, or any of the dozens of other personal financial or life goals, you need a financial plan! Describing a financial plan is one thing, putting together a successful plan tailored specifically for you is another – and it can be a complex process. Your professional advisor can help you develop the plan that works for you and keep it on track to meet your ever-changing needs.

Mulla: Marshmallow maven Local ingredients inspiring By Jerome Turner Smithers / Interior News
Kimberley Mulla is the proprietor of Kimberley’s Kitchen, a home-based gourmet confectionary specializing in marshmallows, and she’ll soon be celebrating her two-year business anniversary. Mulla, who also manages human resources for the Bulkley Valley Credit Union, launched her marshmallow business in October 2010, when she and her family of four were living in Vancouver. She was on maternity leave and wanted to start a small business. “I really wanted to own a gourmet candy shop,” Mulla said. “I entered my first market with gourmet marshmallows, it was pretty successful and I realized I should probably stick to it.” Mulla began making marshmallows so she could have something non-manufactured for her children and since moving to the Bulkley Valley a year ago Kimberley’s Kitchen has not shown any signs of slowing down. “I’m fully booked for weddings this year,” Mulla said. “I do a lot of personalized orders for weddings and big events.” Mulla sells the marshmallows exclusively through Two Sisters cafe, but her marshmallows have a much wider appeal than the Bulkley Valley. “I have people from across Canada shopping on my on-line store,” Mulla said. One of her most popular specialties is her S’mores for Four kit, which Mulla made completely from scratch using local ingredients. “I make the graham cookies with whole wheat flour from the Kispiox Valley,” Mulla said. “I put a layer of chocolate on the
cookies as well.” Although her day-job and business keep her plate full, Mulla is maintaining a good work-life balance. “Kimberley’s Kitchen is a creative outlet for me, but time with my children and husband is more important than doing marshmallows,” Mulla said. Family time is one of the main reasons for the move from Vancouver’s atmosphere, but the fact that Smithers is a town with four distinct seasons could increase sales of certain items at Kimberley’s Kitchen. “I’m doing a pumpkin praline for the first time this fall, which is maple-candied pumpkin seeds on top of a pumpkin spiced marshmallow,” Mulla explained. “It’s a lot of fun coming up with seasonal flavours.” Mulla has been cooking since she was six, when her mom gave her the Better Homes and Garden’s Cookbook for Children, which she still uses with her two daughters. “It still has the best chocolate chip cookie recipe, so it’s tried and true,” Mulla said. Mulla said she would love to write a cookbook, but feels she doesn’t quite have enough to offer the baking world to produce her own cookbook. “The industry is saturated, so I would have to make sure there was a genuine need for what I would be offering,” she said. Some people compare the burgeoning gourmet marshmallow trend to it’s immediate predecessor cupcakes and Mulla welcomes the comparison. “I don’t think the cupcake trend is dropping at all and they’ve been around for a while,” she said. “There’s still tons of potential with gourmet candy and I don’t anticipate any drop in the marshmallow side of things.”
Kimberley Mulla is pleased with the success of her specialty marshmallow venture, but insists family time is the rule. Magna Vita Photography photo
Mulla enjoys living with her family in the Bulkley Valley and looks forward to many years here. “One thing that was also important to
me was good food and I’ve never seen a better Farmer’s Market anywhere else,” she said. “It feels like home.”

Off the wire Board recognizes National Forest Week Forest Practices board chair Al Gorley issued the following statement Monday, “This is National Forest Week in Canada. “British Columbia has some of the most diverse and biologically rich forests in Canada: forests that support our economy and our livelihoods, forests that provide food, shelter and water, forests that offer spectacular recreational and spiritual experiences. “About 95 per cent of the land in British Columbia is owned by the citizens of the province and managed by gover ment on their behalf.” B.C. is uniquely positioned in having an independent agency that monitors how well government and the forest industry carry out forestry activities on public land - the Forest Practices Board. “The board works to encourage sustainable management of our forests and continuing improvements to forest practices, so we can maintain all the important values that forests provide,” Gorley said. “Our 2011-12 annual report, which documents our efforts, will be released in the coming weeks. “We also have a new video on our website that briefly explains who we are and what we do in B.C. “Forest management in B.C. is facing significant challenges in the coming years, challenges brought on by climate change, global economic factors and changing public expectations. In these complicated times, the board will be looking at how we can contribute information and input to discussions on the future of forest management in B.C.” The Forest Practices Board is B.C.’s independent watchdog for sound forest and range practices, reporting its findings and recommendations directly to the public and government.

N EWS Telkwa stage a legacy for future generations
Margaret’s Healing Hands I can now be reached at 250-643-3731 for appointment bookings
LAKE KATHLYN PROTECTION SOCIETY
By Dan Mesec Smithers / Interior News
A faint cord rang out, the lights opened and Trooper stepped out. All the concrete pouring, chiseling, hammering, crashing, barbecuing, organizing and volunteering finally paid off, in what was by far one of the most spectacular events to echo down the valley in recent history. The 100th Telkwa BBQ was a hit. It’s safe to say everyone left, undoubtably rocked. Between the high-octane battle cry of crushing metal in the derby pit to the flesh-scraping slide into home plate for cheers of Sultan victory, this year’s Telkwa BBQ will be remembered for generations to come. Telkwa Mayor, Carmen Graf, has attended many barbecues over the years, but this one was extra special, an homage to the thousands of hands that have kept the Telkwa BBQ part of local tradition for a hundred years. “Keep it going for another 100 years,” Graf said. “This is a great event, it shows me the dedication of people that put this together for the last hundred years.” “I know there were some trying times, some hard times over the years that they had to cope with and they persevered and we can see it here today. “I’m really happy to be part of this.” To mark the centennial anniversary, the Bulkley Valley Kins-

men, who’ve been hosting the event for the past 50 years, took on an ambitious project. To construct a log canopy stage, solid enough to withstand the test of time for another 100 years. “The project, I couldn’t be happier with,” Nathan Murdoch said. (The contractor that built the stage.) “The final product was something to be proud of. It’s interesting because I grew up in Telkwa, I grew up on that derby and it was for as long as I can remember just a derby and so it was always a big part of my youth and it was really interesting to see that tradition change form and also become a music venue.” Murdoch was approached by the Kinsmen almost a year before the barbeque.
Statement of Property Tax Exemptions In accordance with Section 224 and 227 (1) of the Community Charter, The Village of Telkwa is proposing to adopt the 2013 Property Tax Exemption Bylaw 625, 2012. The impact of this exemption can be viewed on the Village of Telkwa Website (www. telkwa.com) or at 1415 Hankin Avenue. The 2013 Property Tax Exemption Bylaw No. 615, 2012 will be on the Council agenda for third reading October 9, 2012 with final reading set for October 22, 2012. Any questions or concerns should be addressed in writing before October 4, 2012 for the October 9, 2012 Regular meeting of Council.
He mocked up several designs and the Kinsmen picked the one that stands today. Laughing, Murdoched joked it was also the most sophisticated build. “The way we did all the joinery, it was all prefabricated at the shop so nothing was test fit. “It was all cut, then moved to the site and we slowly started to assemble truss by truss, it wasn’t until the last truss was in place that I could breath a sigh of relief,” Murdock explained. The amount of effort from volunteers that went into the stage was tremendous. More than 55 logs were donated by Dean
Daly and his wife Janette, to the massive slab of concrete from Moulder concrete and countless volunteers putting in their blood sweat and tears to make the 100th Telkwa BBQ one for the history books. “We felt like it was such an exciting legacy project and there was such a volunteer effort going into it, we felt compelled to help where we could and we happened to have harvested appropriate logs for them and wanted to make the donation to support the community,” Daly said. But the stage isn’t just for flashing lights and loud bands, it represents something more. An achievement
of sorts, the neverending dedication of local volunteers and the knowledge it will serve generations to come. “It’s going to be something that will be carried on for years,” Kinsmen President Leroy Dekens said. “It’s been a dream for a lot of us for a long time and the fact that it’s there now means we can utilize it for not just the barbeque but other events as well. “I think the legacy it leaves now is that we can evolve, there are many different things we can do. Now that we have the stage, it’s another section done, now we look to the future and what else we can do. We proved that we can do it.”

McGriffin nominated for CBC’s Poetry Prize By Dan Mesec Smithers / Interior News
Smithers’ own Emily McGiffin is on the list. The shortlist that is, for the 2012 CBC Poetry Prize for her Skeena Watershed inspired piece entitled, Stikine Country. A biologist by trade, McGiffin said poetry has always been part of her life and being nominated for the CBC Poetry Prize is definitely a high point. “It’s something I’ve always done and took a couple courses at the university level,” She said. “It was something that I did really privately until I happened to send in some poems for the Bronwen Wallace Award and they won. “That was quite something.” After being widely published in literary magazines across Canada, McGiffin was awarded the Bronwen Wallace Award for Emerging Writers in 2008. After many years of publishing poems, she put together a
manuscript that was published last may by Brick Books entitled, Between Dusk and Night. McGiffin said a lot of her work is inspired by landscapes and personal experiences that have left an incredible mark on her career as a poet. “I write a lot about landscapes but often as a way of exploring other issues,” McGriffin said. “Writing about life experiences or certain events, but usually as a way of thinking through some kind of question. “I like to think I pay a lot of attention to the musicality of lines and precision of language, rhythm of lines and imagery.” With a winner soon to be announced and already working on her next manuscript, McGiffin has come a long way and with accolades building her poetry career looks as bright as the wilderness landscape she writes so elegantly about. The 2012 CBC Poetry Prize will be announced Sept. 25.

The Northern Gateway Project is generating healthy debate. British Columbians are asking many important questions like, is this pipeline worth it for BC and its northern communities? The benefits that the Northern Gateway Project will bring to British Columbia are significant. It will create jobs, generate new tax revenue for BC, and strengthen the province’s economy.
New jobs will be created... Many people will be employed to build this project. Here in BC, over 3,000 high-paying construction jobs will be created during the building phase. And over 500 new long-term jobs will open up when it’s completed–jobs to monitor and maintain the pipeline, jobs at the Kitimat Marine Terminal, and indirect jobs in areas such as food and hospitality, accommodations, and transportation. And all right here in BC.
Over $800 million will be spent on local goods and services... During construction, hundreds of millions will be spent in Northern BC on equipment rentals, worker accommodations, trucking and fuel, just to name a few. Businesses will grow and new jobs will bring a steady source of family income, as well as opportunities for young people right out of school. All of this will have a positive impact on local businesses and community stability.
Local communities will have a brighter future... On top of new jobs being created, the project will generate $40 million per year in new tax revenue for BC–that’s $1.2 billion over a period of 30 years. This will make a difference to local communities who can use it to build facilities and strengthen public services.
Enbridge will also provide an additional $100 million to support communities near the pipeline in BC and Alberta. We are also committed to partnerships with Aboriginal communities–funding will be provided for community investment, scholarships and education programs, and Aboriginal business opportunities will be created.
People will learn specialized work skills... Individuals from towns near the pipeline will be given the opportunity to learn the skills needed to work in the energy industry. Enbridge has created the Gateway Education and Training Fund, a $1.5 million commitment that will support training initiatives that focus on pipeline construction skills. The knowledge and experience acquired during the construction phase will serve them well as the demand for skilled workers in the energy sector here in British Columbia, Canada and around the world continues to increase.
New global markets will open opportunities for new growth... As it stands, Canada relies on just one customer for its oil exports. The Northern Gateway Project will provide access to the growing economies and the huge markets of the Pacific Rim eager for our energy, which will increase Canada’s Gross Domestic Product by at least $270 billion over 30 years. So not only will the residents of British Columbia see an increase in tax revenue, employment and long-term job opportunities, they will see the economy strengthened in both their province and country as a new gateway to more trade partners opens up.
The project will bring significant economic benefits to BC. Discover more and join the conversation at benefits.northerngateway.ca.

GM celebrates 100 years of Chevrolet in the Bulkley Valley By Dan Mesec Smithers / Interior News
For more than 100 years Bulkley Valley residents have driven Chevy vehicles. Now with 100 years under their belts Smithers Coast Mountain GM is looking into the future for the next 100 years. “I think any time you can hit a landmark like 100 years in any type of business is pretty remarkable,” owner Dennis Groves said. “It shows the stability of the community. “Smithers has had it’s ups and downs but always seems to pull through and economically it shows that we’re diversified in our occupations and trade in the area.” After buying the dealership from the O’neal family in 1995, which had been in their family for 75 years, the Groves took it over, looking ahead for the next 100 years. “Before, the original business was called the Smithers Garage and Wigs/O’neal before that. It’s one of the longest standing dealerships in B.C.,” Groves said. This past weekend Coast Mountain GM celebrated the milestone with giveaways and
delicious pulled pork barbeque, giving back to the community that has sustained them for more than a century. This past year the GM dealership underwent a facelift, getting a fresh look for it’s 100th year. During Saturday’s celebrations the dealership raffled off a replica electric Camero as well as hosting Powder Puff competition to see who could change a tire the fastest, and a Chevy themed scavenger hunt and bouncy castle for the kids. Being around for more than 100 years is no small achievement, and Groves hopes that it will continue for another 100 years. “I’d like to say I’ll be here in another hundred years, but I think the outlook for our area is pretty good. We got everything done in preparation to handle some more business so we’re just looking for some economic growth in the area to keep everyone busy and hire more people,” Groves said. “Giving back to the community is one of the most important and rewarding things a business can strive for. Every year is a milestone.”

GATEWAY perspectives
Building skills Respect has been the cornerstone of our relationships with Aboriginal groups across Canada. That’s respect on their terms, not ours. And that means having an understanding of, and sensitivity to, the values and the issues that are important to them. When we started talking to Aboriginal communities about the Northern Gateway Project, they told us, unequivocally, that they wanted meaningful, long-term involvement in the labour force. That’s why we established a $1.5-million Gateway Education and Training Fund — and it’s not dependent, in any way, upon Northern Gateway regulatory approval. This fund supports training initiatives based in the pipeline, construction, and energy sectors. It is not training for the sake of training; it is totally focused on employment outcomes. And along Northern Gateway right-ofway communities, Enbridge is already connecting industry and community to help create Aboriginal career opportunities. Catherine Pennington, Northern Gateway’s Supervisor of Community Education, Training, and Skills Development, reports that we’re already co-funding training programs for surveyors and ironworkers. We’re purchasing seats in existing Aboriginal trades programs, and partnering with provincial and federal bodies to help develop skilled tradespeople in the areas
Join the conversation at
of heavy equipment operation, pipefitting, welding, and construction craft labouring. We’ve also co-ordinated the first of many “workforce connections” workshops, bringing together representatives of Northern Gateway equity First Nations and companies with labour-force needs for some meaningful employment discussion. We’ve heard, loud and clear, from Aboriginal communities that they don’t want to be bypassed anymore by economic opportunities created within, near, or around them — and we’re doing something about it. The Gateway Education and Training Fund shows our commitment to community and workforce development. We want to be connected to the Aboriginal community and not just because it makes good business sense. It’s about partnership. It’s about responsibility. And, ultimately, it’s about respect.

Tour de North rolls into Smithers By Dan Mesec Smithers / Interior News
The Cops Ride For Cancer, the Tour de North, rolled through Smithers last week as they cycled more than 880 kilometres from Prince George to Prince Rupert to raise money and awareness about pediatric cancer. With more than $220,000 raised at the halfway mark, the Tour de North is on track to reach their 2012 goal of $260,000 for Camp Goodtimes, a summer camp dedicated for children battling cancer. After four days on the road Smithers’ own Const. Hank Timmerman was all smiles and proud of what he and his fellow RCMP cyclists had accomplished thus far. “Hearing some of the stories from the kids that have been battling cancer you kinda think doing a bike ride like this is not so bad,” Timmerman said. Starting from Prince George the ride made stops all along the way in schools to promote a health lifestyle to prevent and raise awareness about pediatric cancer. Being able to talk to students who have gone through the worst only increased the riders resolve to see the disease
conquered once and for all. “When you hear those stories of appreciation from the kids who’ve gone to Camp Goodtimes, that really gets you going,” Timmerman said. “It was fantastic riding in, there were all of these kids cheering you on.” Timmerman started his fund raising just like everyone else, however there was one reason that made it even more important, Noah Stoltie. Stoltie was diagnosed with leukemia two years ago and after an intense 13 month treatment period he’s finally returned to school and this past summer completed his second visit to Camp Goodtimes. The trip to Camp Goodtimes, Noah’s mother Stacey said has made his battle that much easier to cope with especially when he brought his sisters along. “It’s such a foreign concept my son’s got cancer, my brother’s got cancer,” Stacey said. “So all of that put together, it was really cool and really important to me that they could all go to camp together. To all go to the same camp, a camp where having cancer is normal.” For Stacey it’s been a lot of ups and

downs. But what’s made all the difference is the fact there are people out there, virtually strangers, willing to give their time and their sweat to support her son during his battle with cancer. That, above all else, is truly what will overcome cancer in the end. “It’s amazing to get that kind of support from people you don’t know. “We didn’t know Hank before this so

the fact that he has a heart for kids and is willing to do something, to sacrifice all this time and effort to do something for my kids, even though he doesn’t know them, is really cool.” But it doesn’t stop there. Pat Egan has been on the ride for five years as road captain, keeping everyone on track and a solid front man to lead the way. For Egan, the ride is all about push-
ing ahead against something that has effected almost everyone you meet. Getting their message out is priority number one. “It’s all about trying to eradicate a deadly disease, every little bit helps, especially for Camp Goodtimes,” Egan said. Cancer is something that can take away your spirit. As Stacey reminds us, the shock of hearing
that a family member has cancer can be overwhelming. But with the support of places like Camp Goodtimes and the efforts of a few cops, people from all corners of the northwest are listening to what they have to say and helping to ensure every kid with cancer gets to do just that, just be a kid. “Cops for cancer is all about the kids and their families,”
Erin Reynolds, Tour de North coordinator said. “Because kid cancer is a lot different from adult cancer and the effects of kid cancer are a lot more profound because they’re still growing. “So it’s really important that we allocate funds for kids with cancer so we can do specialized research for them.” “People really connect with the kids.”

Prescriptions for Living Well
A Parent’s Guide to Runny Noses What causes a runny nose? Your nose (and your child’s) produce mucus every day, whether you’re sick or not. When it gets hit by a cold or flu virus, your nose produces more mucus than normal to help wash out the germs. After two or three days, as your body’s immune system gets engaged and produces antibodies to fight the infection, your mucus will get thicker and become white, yellow or even green in colour. Finally, after 5-7 days your runny nose should dry up as your mucus becomes clear again and your cold symptoms disappear.
How can I treat a runny nose? A simple head cold can be miserable for a young child, especially at night, when a runny nose often turns into a stuffy nose. Some parents find saltwater nose drops or rinses ease the discomfort of a stuffed nose for their child. A cool mist vaporizer can also be helpful. While there’s still no cure for colds, you can help your child get over
the worst more quickly by having them get plenty of rest, drink lots of fluids, and avoid strenuous activity.
Will antibiotics help? Antibiotics are not recommended and will not help your child get over a cold. Antibiotics are required only on your doctor’s recommendation, if the cause of your child’s runny nose in sinusitis. The symptoms of sinusitis can be similar to those of a cold, but they will persist for much longer. If your child’s “cold” carries on for ten days or more, it’s possible that he or she has sinusitis and it’s time for a visit to your doctor.
What’s the best prevention? If your child has a cold, you can help keep him or her from spreading the germs by having them wash their hands frequently, by covering their mouths when they cough or sneeze, and by throwing out tissues immediately after use.

Sports Upchuck goes to the top and back again By Dan Mesec Smithers / Interior News
Mountain bike crusaders were at it again last weekend, finishing off a killer season of up and downhill racing with the second and third installment of the Upchuck race on Hudson Bay Mountain. “It was great for a late season race, we had amazing weather and the trails were in perfect condition,” co-organizer, Oren MacDougall said. “We had 16 people come out, so good turn out for people who want to punish themselves on a 45 minute climb.” The Upchuck race is a staple for Smithers’ mountain bike enthusiasts. Completing the entire length of the Bluff trail system in one sitting. As MacDougall put it, “a truly enduro race.” This year’s top riders were no surprise, as Erin Hall conquered the women’s division with a total time of 77:34, from bottom to top and back again. “It was great, a lot of fun and a beautiful day,” Hall said. “I’m not a competitive racer so it was just a great day to come out and have fun with my friends and support the community.” It’s been a common understanding throughout the entire racing season that, although there are some overtones of extreme competitiveness, it’s still all about riding smooth and enjoying the great outdoors with great friends. For C.O.B.’s coowner, Dave Percy, growing the sport in the community has reached a high mark in recent years. Time and time again scores of people are getting involved and taking advantage of the amazing trails that now snake across Hudson Bay Mountain’s south face. The Upchuck is one of the most grueling trails ever constructed in the Bulkley Valley, but for Percy, it’s just another day at the
office. “It was awesome, it felt great,” Percy said. “It’s a great race because you get time to warm up on the way in. It’s a long race so when you’re heading in you’ll hopefully pace your self and then find a different gear. But, hands down it’s a tough race.” A familiar sight this year has been the growing number of youth taking the lead on numerous races. In some cases beating out the more experienced riders like Percy and MacDougall, something Percy encourages and hopes to see more of in the future. “I had to dig deep to beat a couple of these guys,” he said. “These kids, they’re in great shape and that’s the future there, so it’s pretty exciting seeing kids come out here like that. If we can get more kids coming out the more the better cause that’s how the sport stays alive. Those kids did great.” Although the season is winding down, there’s still some good riding to be had. The trails this year have

A Salute to Women in Business Business Women’s Day recognizes the value and contribution of women in the business world. The roots of this special day go back to the late 1940s. While men were off ¿ghting World War II, women ¿lled the void in the workforce. The returning soldiers found the women eager to have their men return. But, many women were not anxious to return to traditional roles in the home. Since this time, women’s role and contributions in the workforce have grown and evolved. Hilary A. Bufton Jr. and three Kansas City business women founded the American Business Women’s Association(ABWA) on September 22, 1949. The ¿rst Business Women’s Day was celebrated in 1982.

Smithers own Craig Richy tops U.S. Cyclocross By Dan Mesec Smithers / Interior News
Craig Richy, a Smithers native, is making waves in the Cyclocross world, picking up key wins on the U.S. circuit. “So far the cross season has only had two weekends of racing and I’ve raced four international pro races,” Richy said in an email. “Two in Rochester NY and two in Allentown, Penn. The consistency in results is nice for confidence that I can race at the front and that consistency also has me currently ranked second in the US Pro Cyclocross Series behind Frenchman Nicholas Bazin.” For the past two years Richy has been racing in Europe, putting up some decent times in unbelievably difficult conditions.
Cyclocross was originally established in Europe after mountain bike and road racers needed something to keep them going during the winter months. They started by racing the shortest distance between to towns, jumping over farmers fences and lugging their bikes across rivers and up hills. For Richy, however, his evolution into cyclocross found it’s roots in Smithers. “I rode mountain bikes recreationally and mostly cross-country ski race and wrestled in high school,” Richy wrote. “When I was 16 I got my dream job working at McBike and that definitely got me more interested in bike racing. “I started racing seriously in 2005 and my main focus was cross-country
mountain bike racing. After my results plateaued on the mountain bike I made the call in the summer of 2010 to switch my focus to cyclocross.” Since then Richy has competed all over the world and has never looked back. Leaving his job as an advertising consultant two years ago he continues to dedicate his life to cyclocross and everything it has to offer. Setting his sights high, Richy is looking to a great season and hopes to qualify for the Canadian Nationals in MidNovember and the World Championships in early February.

SMITHERS, B.C.
Doug Donaldson MLA, Stikine
BC Rivers Day is an annual province-wide event that seeks to raise public understanding of rivers and the many benefits they provide. Established in 1980 by the Outdoor Recreation Council, it attracts over 75,000 people to more than 100 events each year.
River folk from all around, take up your paddles and boats, it’s time to celebrate the glory of B.C.’s rivers. Rivers Day 2012 is upon us. On Sept. 30, Smithers residents join more than 75,000 British Columbians in celebrating the 32nd anniversary of Rivers Day with a flotilla from Quick to Telkwa, followed by a free wild-salmon BBQ and live music at Eddy Park.
“Rivers Day is a chance to get out on the water to feel the river that is so much a part of our lives here,” Gladys Atrill, flotilla coordinator and trustee with SkeenaWild Conservation Trust said. “We rely on the river for water, fish, recreation and many uses for our livelihoods. “Rivers Day is a chance to look closely at the river, to think about its long-term health, to remind ourselves we are connected to the natural world.”

Community Cranes and loons make for a good week The air is heavily scented with high bush cranberry. Such healthy little berries but so darned tart. Still I’ve been eating a few as I walk about. I could get my act together and make some sauce or something but it does take some sugar to make them taste better. Have you noticed that the birds and bears avoid those berries? The first reports of the sandhill cranes in this area came in on Sept. 15. I did see them myself. Certainly were very high. I called, “good luck,� to them . My resident bear comes most days to try for some Saskatoon berries. He has a lot of competition from a huge gathering of robins. Sharon from Telkwa thinks she heard a varied thrush.
SPICE OF LIFE Brenda Mallory
They are here. I saw one feeding on the mixed seed I had on the ground. Marnie from Chetwynd was telling me she had seen a turkey vulture 8 kilometers north west of Chetwynd. I recall a similar report last year. The purple finch have started to show
up at feeders. They will eat the sunflower seed but they prefer niger seed. You can get a feeder just for that seed. Charlie from Dawson Creek was telling me he seems to be seeing a lot of rough-legged hawks. He keeps excellent records and was saying last year he recorded five , so far this year he has nine. Keep an eye open for the sparrows. I have the savannah and the white crowned an so far. These are mixed in with a good flock of wi juncos. jun I still have a few siskins but I am told that there are not so many in the northeast. Some birders will be pleased to know that. Busy morning around here. The sharp-shinned hawk and the crows and attacking each other. No damage just a lot of noise. When next I went out there was a merlin
involved in the fun. Guess I will have to keep the pigeons in their coop until later. Margaret from Topley was saying the grouse are eating the berries on her mountain ash trees. The robins are eating the berries here. as well. Elaine from Fort Nelson had planted conteaster two years ago. This year lots of berries which she has noticed the blue jay taking away. Finally a confirmed sighting of the northern harrier in the nearby field. I thought for sure since there had been a family of fox the young hawks had been killed. That could still be the issue since the hawk I saw was mature. Nesting close to the ground might be mother nature’s design flaw. Western grebes reported from Swan Lake in the northeast and Ross Lake in this
region. The loons are still calling. Too bad there have been so many boats on the water of Tyhee Lake. Something should be done about that for the safety of people and loons. Something to consider. It is such a beautiful day so I think I will leave you for now and take my dogs for a long walk. After you check the birds in your area you can call 250-846-5095 or just e-mail a note to mallory@bulkley. net.

O
ctober 13, 10 a.m. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 3 p.m., Friends of Camp Caledonia are putting on a Heavenly Homes Tour of homes in the Bulkley Valley with outstanding character, location, style. A self-guided tour, you will have a map with eight house locations marked. There will be owners and/or monitors to check off your ticket and show you through the house. One location even has a short walk to a waterfall. Explore creatively conceived homes, gather ideas for building/renovating. I heard even the boot house is on this list. End with a delicious lunch served at Camp Caledonia between 11am â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 1pm. Tour the Caretakersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Residence, much in need of repairs, the beneficiary for the funds raised. Tickets and maps available at Mountain Eagle Books, $25 includes lunch. Information: Paulie Haines, 250-846-9096. Attended the Healthy Heart program, starting up a new season. If you have ever had heart problems of any kind, this is a super program, meeting once a month. All you need is a doctorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s referral, after that be prepared to learn how to get and stay healthy. We have had guest speakers from nutritionists, physical therapists, pharmacists, had our blood work results explained, medication questions answered, blood pressure taken and deciphered. This past session we learned about

stress, the impact it can have on your whole system. I used to travel to Fraser Lake for this program but now it is right here, easy to get to.

Trouble on the tracks Jerome Turner photo
Fortune Minerals Ltd. (FML) held open house discussions in three Gitxsan communities last week regarding their proposed Arctos Anthracite Project, but Tahltan and Gitxsan leaders arrived to show unified opposition to the project. The proposed mine is located on Tahltan territory 230 kilometres northwest of Hazelton and FML representatives have spoken with certain Gitxsan chiefs, whose territories may be impacted by, to work on details of a potential agreement. Tahltan leaders learned of the negotiations and open houses in Kispiox, Kitwanga and Hazelton and decided to join forces with the Gitxsan Unity
www.interior-news.com
Movement (GUM) to make a statement to FML representatives. “We want to make it clear, the Klappan is one of the most sacred and important areas for the Tahltan people,” Annita McPhee, Tahltan Central Council president, said. “It’s not an area the Tahltan people want to see developed.” In 2005 several Tahltan members were arrested when they erected a blockade to prevent access to a coal-bed methane development project. Four members of that group, the Klabona Keepers, were in Hazelton, one of which was Bertha Louie. “As of today, there’ll be no development in the Klappan,” Louie said. The area in question is referred to internationally as the Sacred Headwaters, which is the origin of four rivers: the Nass, the
Iskut, the Stikine and the Skeena. Several members of GUM stood in a line with the Tahltan, while Gitxsan Hereditary Chief Yvonne Lattie, Gwin’in’itxw, challenged her fellow Gitxsan chiefs, involved with FML. “We made a pact to protect the Sacred Headwaters,” Lattie said, regarding the 2005 blockade. “Is Gitxsan word not good anymore?” A response was offered from Gitxsan Hereditary Chief Alice Jeffrey, Miluulak, one of those whose territory the as yet realized railway would cross. “We invite you to sit down with us to deliberate as to how we can all work together,” Jeffrey said. “Let’s deal with it, because at the end of the day we have to take care of our families.” See TRAIN on p.

A Better Life here are many interpretations of what that might be. It is what we want for all Gitxsan. With talks it is about the ground rules of interaction with Governments. That basically means implementing what we won in our past court cases. Part of that betterment are: creating jobs, using the beneficial court decisions again, using consultation and accommodation to devise the Gitxsan Development Corporation. Fostering the development of the Northwest Transmission Line, like building blocks, will make other major development happen. If you check with the office above Point One 8 clothing store you will see that there are many jobs coming. For some you will need qualifications,

such as heavy duty equipment operator; unlike the 1950s and 1960s, when one could get by with previous experience. Visit their web at www.gitxsanbusiness.com for current job postings. When you take a good look back, like my
aunt Mary said, “ It will be a fight all the way.” Sure enough it is very true. This is why they wanted to leave a legacy of setting us up with a strong point called the Delgamuukw case and now we must build on that strong point. Yes, our canoe has had a rough ride of late and like everything else, the smoke will clear for better sailing eventually, but it will take work on our part. As a nation we can learn from that rough ride, fine tune the way we do things to mitigate any potential fallout. The second day of our 2012 Gitxsan Summit (Oct. 18) will be a corporate day for you to get some sense of the work the Gitxsan have been doing. Things are starting to open up and there will be much more as further developments get approval through previously determined channels. I welcome your comments on this or any other article.

New Gitanmaax Band chief in a bind centre. “We’re losing kids to alcohol and drugs and we need to ensure that our at-risk youth are shown they have a place in our community,” Morrison said. “We all need to work together to improve life here, it is the only way forward.” Marj McRae, former Gitanmaax Band Chief Councillor, claims that Gitanmaax Chief and Council need to better learn their responsibilities. Prioritizing issues needing attention is also of paramount importance, according to McRae. The most pressing issue, according to McRae, is for the current Gitanmaax Band Council to show support for a Gitanmaax
By Jerome Turner Hazelton/Interior News
Following the recent Gitanmaax Annual General Meeting (AGM), newly elected Gitanmaax Band Chief Councillor, Julie Morrison feels under attack since from portions of the community, but those accused of attacking say they were exercising their rights. Morrison, also Executive Director at Gitxsan Health, is still in the learning stage of her new position in Gitanmaax and she would like an opportunity to show what she can do before being written off. She puts her main concerns front and
Band initiated court, set for Sept. 26 and 27. The case, initiated by the former Gitanmaax Band Council other Band Councils in the Hazelton area, is asking the provincial court to dismantle the Gitxsan Treaty Society (GTS) and their pursuit of Gitxsan governance. If the court rules against the GTS it would effectively end all Band Office tenures and return governance to the Gitxsan Hereditary system. The Kispiox, Glen Vowel and Kitwanga band councils have already signed their Band Council Resolution (BCR) in support of the trial. “There are rumours in our community
that question the loyalties of the current council,” McRae said. “The BCR I put forward is only to get this council’s support for the court case, which our membership has asked for.” Morrison decided to table the BCR for examination and discussion at the next council meeting, which does not sit well with McRae, who held the Chief Councillor position for several years. Morrison feels the way the BCR was brought to council was ambush politics. “They were all hyped up and ready to go and the BCR had to be passed by the community and signed by our council then and there,” Morrison recalls.

Due process is needed to progress, Chief CHIEF from B2 “I told Marj that we were not following due process, which she agreed with on the spot.” There are two ways to get a BCR voted on, according to McRae. One is to have the resolution entered as a regular Band member into a council meeting and the other is to present it at an AGM or public forum. Both methods need prior notice to be added to the agenda and McCrae did not go through the proper channels to be heard, Morrison said. Band members attending the AGM stood up to voice their concerns, but Morrison, who was the Chair of the meeting, did not abide her duties in that role, according to McCrae. “I had the mic
and people were interrupting me,” McRae said. “Julie should have called a point of order and added them to the speaker’s list if they still wanted to talk.” Morrison denied a McRae’s request to have an emergency council meeting to discuss the BCR and her main concern is what the court case is costing Gitanmaax, which based on per capita has cost $636,000 of the $1.2 million total thus far. “I’m elected to represent everybody and voters think I have something to offer,” Morrison said. “The present council is a team and I speak for them and the entire community.” The next scheduled Gitanmaax Band council meeting is set for Oct. 3.
Julie Morrison, who has served three months as Gitanmaax Band Chief Councillor is asking for cooperation and patience to move forward. Jerome Turner photo

...because we live here.
TRAIN from B1 The proposed 147-kilometre railway would link to a semicompleted light-duty rail system started in the 1970s, when a railroad bed, the foundation for the ties and steel, was laid to the Dease Lake area. The light-duty rail will be replaced by CN Rail, who are currently leasing from BC Rail, to support coal-filled trains, which will link with the main CN rail near Prince George. There are currently no owners of the proposed railway and Jim Mucklow, FML manager of environment, said one possible deal could have the Tahltan and Gitxsan own the portion of the railway that spans their territories. “When we deal with any particular First Nation we only deal with their territory,” Mucklow said. The anthracite coal, a high-quality coal, is destined for Asian markets, namely South Korea, to be used in the manufacturing of steel. Posco Canada Ltd. (POSCAN), a branch of S. Korea’s POSCO Ltd., the third largest steel manufacturer in the world, has exclusive access to the FML mineral and are 20 per cent owners of the Arctos Anthracite Project. One per cent of known coal in the world is anthracite, which makes the

proposed mine more desirable to any investor. “One of the things with steel mills is they try to tie up resources so they have a future,” Mucklow said. China was the former lead exporter of anthracite coal in the world, but they now keep their coal in-house, Mucklow said. Global need for
anthracite coal is rising, as coal reserves drop off, and new technology is being created which will need anthracite to operate, according to Arctos project’s webpage. Despite the economic benefits of FML’s proposed project, GUM and Tahltan resolve remained firm. “My pockets may

Sebastian art at Misty Rivers By Jerome Turner Hazelton/Interior News
Robert Sebastian opened his latest exhibit in Old Hazelton at the Misty River Gallery last Thursday and several community members attended to eat, drink and be entertained by a well travelled story-teller. Sebastian has painted for nearly 35 years and credits his success to the two most important people in his life. “I would not be here now if it wasn’t for my mother, Dora Wilson, and my wife, Mavis,” Sebastian said. “They’re the ones that have to put up with me the most.” Sebastian said this during his address to the assembled crowd, whom hung onto his every word and gesture, on the upper floor of the gallery. “I had a wild side when I was young, but I lost that over the years,” he said. Sebastian has travelled to places, such as China, where he found a place he felt right at home. Located on the border of the Sichuan and Yunnan provinces is Lake Lugu and that is where the ‘Kingdom of Women’, a matrilineal society that doesn’t have a word for father, is located. Sebastian laughs
as he recounts his time there, while on a ‘Ksan dancing tour. “They wanted to keep me because they don’t have any big people there,” he said, running his hand over his stomach. “They wanted to have big babies.” As much as he respects the women in his life Sebastian only listed one person as a professional influence. “Bill Ried,” he said. But Sebastian works with countless other artists his mother is one and another is Phil Janze.
“Phil is incredible and my mom is the one who got me into designing.” Sebastian’s work has shifted from a strictly traditional style to a blending of cultures. He has animals like parrots, turtles and wild horses in his collection of work that have been put together using his traditional training, but with some added flair. “It’s colourful which is what I like about it,” Laurie Gallant, a recent client and owner of some of
Sebastian’s work, said. “I really love the Steelhead Falls.” “It’s kind of killing me and I want to take it home.” Steelhead Falls depicts six white salmon struggling up a wall of water under a sunset sky. Misty River Gallery president, Allan Arlon, is delighted his wife Gail approached Sebastian. “This is a nice getting together of all the people in town,” Arlon said. “We’re super happy with the opening and

even more happy to see the red stickers on the pieces.” The gallery is located in Old Hazelton at the Riverboat building beside the Hazelton Public Library.

Erna Henny J. Oevermann (Pape) was born in (Rustringen) Wilhelmshaven, West Germany, on Sept. 4, 1922. Erna and “Bill” (K.F. Wilhelm) were married Aug. 22, 1942, emigrated to northern Quebec in 1951/52, then to Kitimat in 1956, and to Smithers in 1969 to join son Ingo in business. Erna was predeceased by “Bill” on March 5, 1988. She is survived by her daughters Karin, of Stewart and Christina, of Smithers, and her son Ingo (Jean) of Smithers, grandchildren Tania, Peter (Jennifer), Tia Sue, Sean (Kristie), Ryan (Susan), and great grandchildren Lane, Shane, Lisa, Serena, Liam, Landon, Montana, Wade, Garrett, and Angelina. Erna had a serious heart attack in mid-summer and her loving heart gave up its struggle on Sept. 4, 2012 on her 90th birthday. Erna was a very loving and caring mother who will be greatly missed by all who knew her. Kindness in words creates confidence; Kindness in thinking creates profoundness; Kindness in giving creates love. As per her wishes, Erna’s ashes will join Bill’s in the Smithers Cemetery. A Celebration of Life service will be held in October. Erna loved flowers so any donation of perennials to the Town for all to enjoy, or a donation to the Heart & Stroke Foundation would be welcome. Mother’s Garden Our mother kept a garden A garden of the heart, She planted all the good things That gave our life it’s start. She turned us to the sunshine, And encouraged us to dream, Fostering and nurturing The seeds of self esteem. And when the winds and rain came, She protected us enough; But not too much because she knew We’d need to stand up strong and tough. Her constant good example Always taught us right from wrong; Markers for our pathway That will last a lifetime long. We are our Mother’s garden; We are her legacy. And we hope today she feels the love Reflected back from us. Author unknown We would like to thank Drs. Pretorius and Kotze, and the staff of the hospital and homecare for the care and consideration given to Erna during the past 12 years. Erna’s family

HSS Spartans soccer look to fill roster Drop 2-1 decision against Gryphons By Jerome Turner Hazelton/Interior News
The Hazelton Secondary Spartans senior boys’ soccer team kicked off their pre-season in Smithers against the Gryphons Smithers Secondary last Thursday with a 2-1 loss. Nonetheless, head coach Simon Dodd is looking forward to the season and is proud of his squad despite the early season result. “They played well considering we’ve only had three practices,” Dodd said, on the bus before heading back to Hazelton. “We just threw some guys together and they did fine.” During the firsthalf the Spartans’ Brandon Johnson had the opportunity to put
his team on the board with a penalty shot. Johnson beat the Gryphon net-minder, but missed the net. Later, Dustin Muldoe would get HSS on the board, when he fooled the keeper, who got a piece of the shot, but not enough to deflect the ball wide. With over 30 boys from grades eight to 12 competing for about 18 spots on the team Dodd has his work cut out. There may be enough grade eight players to form a team, but it’s too early to predict what the final roster will look like, Larry Denny, parent of a Spartan hopeful, said. For a complete schedule of upcoming games contact Simon Dodd at H.S.S. 250842-5214.

PUBLIC NOTICE
RECALL AND INITIATIVE ACT
This notice is published pursuant to section 4 of the Recall and Initiative Act. Approval in principle has been granted on an application for an initiative petition. The petition will be issued to proponent Dana Larsen on Monday, November 19, 2012 and signature sheets must be submitted to the Chief Electoral Officer by Monday, February 18, 2013. The Title of the Initiative is: An initiative to amend the Police Act. Summary of Initiative: The initiative draft Bill entitled, “Sensible Policing Act” proposes to amend the Police Act to no longer use provincial police resources on the enforcement of current laws in relation to simple possession and use of cannabis by adults. The draft law would prohibit the use of provincial police resources for this purpose, would require police to report in detail to the Minister of Justice any actual use of resources for this purpose and why it was necessary, and require the Minister to publish that report. The Bill also proposes that the Province would call upon the Federal Government to repeal the federal prohibition on cannabis, or give British Columbia an exemption, such that British Columbia is able to tax and regulate cannabis similar to the regulation of alcohol and tobacco. As well it proposes that British Columbia shall establish a Provincial Commission to study the means and requirements necessary for the province to establish a legal and regulated model for the production and use of cannabis by adults. Last, the Bill would make non-lawful possession and use of cannabis by minors an offence similar to possession and use of alcohol.
Initiative Advertising: Individuals or organizations who sponsor initiative advertising, other than the proponent and registered opponents, must register with the Chief Electoral Officer before they conduct or publish initiative advertising.

Greyhound struggling with B.C. regulations By Tom Fletcher Victoria/Black Press
Greyhound Canada is losing millions on its B.C. operations because of rigid provincial rules that require minimum bus trips on inter-city routes regardless of passenger demand. Minimum daily service levels are set by the provincially appointed Passenger Transportation Board. For Vancouver to Kamloops, and on the Trans Canada
Real Estate
Highway at Golden, for example, Greyhound is required to run four buses each way, seven days a week. “You have a minimum frequency that you have to run on every corridor, really regardless of whether you’re carrying 20 people or five people on each schedule,” said Stuart Kendrick, senior vice president of Greyhound Canada. Kendrick said the company lost $14 million on its B.C. operations in 2011, and previous years have seen similar losses. He wrote to Transportation Minister Mary
Real Estate
Real Estate
Polak asking the B.C. government to follow the lead of other provinces and deregulate bus service. Polak said she is aware that B.C. service is at risk, and ministry staff are working on options. “It’s obvious from what they’re saying that they need to make adjustments, or they’re going to have to pull out of the whole thing,” Polak said. The company has applied to the board to reduce service on B.C. routes, but not drop any routes entirely. Kendrick said
Real Estate
Real Estate
the rules don’t allow adjustments to reflect lighter traffic on certain days of the week, or seasonal adjustments. Kendrick said the B.C. rules are not only inflexible, but the application process takes too long. The company is required to advertise any route change in affected communities, and may need to hold public meetings as well. Polak said the government may be able to change regulations rather than amend legislation, which would have to wait until the B.C. legislature resumes in January.
