Derrick earns Jubilee Medal
By Jerome Turner Smithers/Interior News
RCMP Const. Troy Derrick is one of the latest recipients of the Diamond Jubilee medal, which is given to 60,000 Canadians for community service. Const. Derrick has been working out of the South Surrey detachment for over six years and is currently the First Nations liason officer in the area. “I never really wanted to be a police officer,” Const. Derrick said, laughing. “I was a chef and chef instructor for three years and I just kind of made it happen.” Derrick was working in the area and teaching an adult education cooking course when one of the students challenged him to become part of the RCMP. “I always told them they could be anything they wanted to be,” he said. “One of them said if they could do it I could too and a bit later I
decided to accept the objective.” He admits that he followed through partly to prove that anyone can do anything providing a will and a predetermined goal. The challenge came in 2003 and in 18 months he was done training, but he made sure to prepare to succeed. Having no idea what else he was getting in to he made sure that he took care of something he could control, his body. “I knew very little about the police,” Const. Derrick recalls. “As soon as I signed up I knew I had to be in shape and I trained on my own constantly.” He found that the training in Regina, Saskatchewan, where all RCMP get put through the paces, was much easier than if he had done no training back home. The ability to relate past experiences to questions posed was also key to Derrick’s successful application with the RCMP. “Either you’ve been through something or you haven’t,” he said. See RCMP on p. A3

Downtown legacy project moving forward By Dan Mesec Smithers / Interior News
Smithers’ centennial legacy project is moving ahead after council approved a recommendation to select one of two concept drawings for the new town square, due to begin construction in the spring. Council met with the legacy committee last week
in a Committee of the Whole to discuss the finer details of the project including site layout as well as design and construction of the stage. After months of compiling information gathered at public input sessions adopted one of the concepts to be submitted for construction drawings this winter. Mayor Taylor
Bachrach said he was pleased with the way the process was handled and is excited to move to the next stage. “I think this is exactly the kind of process council wanted to see out of this” Bachrach said. “I’m really pleased with the designs and the process that led to those designs.” “It’s been really thoughtful, we heard
a lot of feedback from the community. The square will serve as a gathering space with conceptual landscaping and art installations. There was also discussion of incorporating carvings throughout the stage design to reflect Smithers past, present and future. Although the idea of erecting a totem may have fallen short
of expectations, Bachrach is still hopeful to incorporate First Nations artwork into the plans. “We have an opportunity to reflect the First Nations culture of our area, it’s one of the things that makes this part of the world so unique,” Bachrach said. “Using First Nations art has the potential to be
a celebration of the work we have done together as neighbors.” “We got some great feedback from council and the committee appreciates the support from staff and council.” Currently the committee is still working towards their fundraising goal of $240,000 with almost half the finds confirmed.

Bike Task Force submits recommendations
By Dan Mesec Smithers/Interior News
Council received the long-awaited recommendations from the Bike Friendly Task Force last week as council prepares to conduct a pilot project for a cyclists corridor on Third Ave. After several meetings the task force concluded Third Ave. served as the best possible solution to creating a cross town corridor that will be safe enough for cyclists of all ages. Councillor Phil Biernesse felt the recommendations were moving in the right direction to ensure the town makes improvements
“The key is a pilot project. See how it works and how the community receives it...” — Councillor Phil Biernesse
that won’t break the bank. “The recommendations the task force came up with are really strong,” Biernesse said. “They’re all reasonable and doable, things we can achieve which I think is very important.” Bike task force member, Ellen Hansen, said the committee recommended Third Ave.
for the pilot project because they looked at all other routes and concluded Third Ave. has the best access with the least amount of impact to congestion and businesses in the community. “We looked at all types of traffic, having connecting corridors but also how viable it would be to use that corridor, Hansen said. “Third Ave.
doesn’t have a whole lot of businesses compared to others areas.” “Third Ave. seemed to us to be more doable than other corridors to make the space and not interfere with other with other uses.” After the meeting Biernesse noted the ultimate goal for the recommendations is to have more people biking rather than

driving cars in the community, which hopefully creates a deeper sense of community, he said. “The key is a pilot project,” Biernesse said. “See how it works and how the community receives it, if it makes a difference in the number of people biking.” “What we’re trying to do is increase the total number of people biking in our community.” “In order to do that we need to go the extra step and provide them with a safe place to be.” Council will discuss the recommendations and move forward with the pilot project at their next council meeting in November.

N EWS RCMP followed his own advice to career RCMP from A1
Although the only academic pre-requisite is Grade 12 or equivalent a person should do what interests them and see where that takes them, according to Const. Derrick, who works with a lot of at-risk youth. Derrick spent a portion of last summer paddling for sixday as part of the Pulling Together Canoe Journey, which is a follow-up to the Vision Quest canoe trips in the northwest. He paddled with several others to the Sliammon reserve near Powell River, B.C. “Some of the communities we’ve been to are only accessible by boat or plane,” he said. “We make a point of reaching those communities.” The journey is intended to reach youth in the community by interaction and common experience and it has, according to Const. Derrick. “We have a number of native bands in our community [which] will allow our detachment to achieve that extra outreach,” Derrick said on the RCMP website. “Life experience is far more beneficial than reading a book.” Const. Derrick is working to learn about his own culture, but has to go about it a bit differently than most due to his current location. He’s never really lived in his home community, so he’s begun to pick up traits that he thinks are similar to Gitxsan culture from the people he encounters daily. “Every year it’s a learning experience for me,” Derrick said. “I’m into dozens of different communities and they all have the yearning to better themselves.” The potential and problems he sees in the lower mainland are the same as those he’s witnessed during trips back home and he would like people to know he works constantly for his Nation. “Just because I’ve never lived back home my entire life doesn’t mean I don’t care about what happens there,” he said.

SMILE FOR THE WEEK
“I wish I could spend more time up there to learn our culture.” “I’m doing what I can to learn down here.” The Semiamhoo people are teaching him some of the main tenets of being aboriginal. “I’m learning a lot of the B.C. history,” Derrick said. “Each community has its own personality and the only way to get to know those similarities and differences is by being in them.” Derrick has been an avid skateboarder and likes to go to a skate park in Tsawwassen, whether in plain clothes or uniform, to have some fun and connect with youth. He has done some mural graffiti projects and is currently attending kick-boxing classes with youth. “It’s establishing a relationship so we can, hopefully, avoid the us against them scenario,” Derrick said. “Through my office we are working to build a sense of community.” Weekend camp-outs are common through Const. Derrick’s office, which involves mostly, but not exclusively, First Nation students in high school. “For urban kids it’s really an eye-opener when they leave the city,” Derrick said. “Most of them are like, ‘wow, this is right in my backyard!” Derrick realizes the power he has to affect change in peoples lives and he takes his role seriously. “I love this job, it’s something that I’m driven to do, because it puts me in touch with so many people,” he said. “But it’s a matter of using this position, not abusing it and doing the best with what I have.” People ask him why he isn’t angry about the devastation visited on, not just the Gitxsan, but all aboriginal people and his response is simple. “I have all my ancestors behind me,” he said. “If I do nothing positive with my life then they’ve died for nothing.”

Entrance Project stymied by winter weather By Percy N. Hébert Smithers/Interior News
Mother Nature has taken a stand and so it is coordinators and volunteers of the Downtown Entrance Project have set their tools aside for now. “We thought we’d be further along,” Alan Cormier of the Central Park Building Society said. “But winter came early.” Despite best efforts of project manager Tom Havard and a crew of volunteers, the onset of winter conditions put completion of the Downtown Entrance
The Smithers Rotary Club was busy over the last month as they worked on the Downtown Entrance Project on the south side of Highway 16 at the corner of Main St. Dan Mesec photo
Project on hold. Nonetheless, Cormier, said everything is in place to complete the project next spring, adding some work will take place this winter at the Central Park Building. The building is having new washrooms installed, as well as a new front door to allow for universal access, Cormier explained. Organizers have thus far raised $110,000 for the project, just $10,000 shy of their goal. Cormier said there are still bricks and commemorative benches available for
purchase through the Town of Smithers. The bricks are $100/square metre and the benches are $1,000. Each donation receives a tax receipt from the town. Although there are just six benches left, Cormier said the size of the project, which includes open space on the north and south sides of HWY 16 at the corner of Main St. is large enough that more benches could be incorporated into the space. There is, however, one detail that hasn’t been tended to and that’s a name for the
space. “We haven’t decided on a name yet,” Cormier said, adding suggestions were more than welcome. For information or to suggest a name call 250-8479126, or e-mail winnipegbarber@ gmail.com 250-847-5341

Province of B.C. Streamlines Community Forest permit process
By Dan Mesec Smithers / Interior News
The province of B.C. is introducing single cutting permit procedures to make it easier for local governments, First Nations and non-commercial organizations to harvest timber from community forests. Currently, operators have to apply each time they want to log a section of land within the community forest. The changes allow eligible organizations to apply for only one permit, good for
up to four years to streamline the process to make it simpler and to support the governments forest sector strategy commitments to improve access to forest tenures for a range of users and identify community forest agreement opportunities. “Right now we get a cutting permit for each block that we harvest,” Bill Golding from the Wetzin’kwa Community Forest said. “So there could be 20 small blocks in a year or four big ones, but each one requires
we follow the same process.” “A single cutting permit is probably a move in a positive direction, particularly for small tender holders because administration is a disproportionate size of their budget.” Minister of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations, Steve Thomson said the B.C. government wants to support community forests the best they can in small communities. “Community forests support local social, economic and environmental
priorities,” he said. “They help maintain jobs and recreational opportunities, foster long-term environmental stewardship and build a stronger community.” Despite these new permits, Wet’suwet’en resource manager, David DeWit said they will still have to oversee any new permits that come into effect and supports the idea of single cutting permits. “With a single cutting permit approach, it wouldn’t limit us in our
involvement looking at and implementing alternative management strategies on all blocks,” he said. “But for other community forests that don’t have this level of engagement with First Nations, it’s going to be harder to incorporate those values into management through a single cutting permit process.” Golding mentioned that some of the value added manufactures aren’t looking at 20 hectares, they’re looking at 20 trees and that’s where the real value-added
advantage would come into play. “If there’s a small value added enterprise, that needed a particular sort of timber, we can go amend our cutting permit to include that piece of ground after we’ve done the public and First Nations consultation,” Golding said. “But we could probably get it out to them in a quicker turn around time. “So there’s probably some advantage just in the time and efficiency of doing some of these things.”

C AR N EWS Japanese brands tops in Consumer Reports’ 2012 Car Reliability Survey, Ford continues fall Scion, Toyota and Lexus Sweep All Top Spots in Consumer Reports’ Annual Reliability Study Toyota’s three brands – Scion, Toyota and Lexus – swept the three top spots in Consumer Reports’ annual reliability survey, which analyzes subscribers’ experiences with 1.2 million new vehicles to predict future reliability. Of the 27 models in the brand’s lineup, 16 earned the highest rating. The subcompact Toyota Prius C received the top score overall. “Japanese brands dominate the latest Consumer Reports’ Car Reliability Survey, claiming the top seven spots in new-car reliability. At the other end of the spectrum, Ford now ranks second from the bottom,
followed closely by Lincoln. The top three brands all hail from Toyota. Each Toyota brand touts that their entire product range has average or better predicted reliability. The subcompact Toyota Prius C earned Consumer Reports top reliability rating overall, although it did not score well enough in our testing to be recommended. Only two years ago, Ford was Detroit’s reliability leader. It cracked the top 10 among brands in Consumer Reports predicted-reliability scores, with more than 90 percent of its models being average or better. Now, 60 percent of its models are below average, with the worst being literally off the chart at 226-percent worse than the average car.
Several factors contributed to Ford’s decline in Consumer Reports reliability rankings. A few new or redesigned models, including the Explorer, Fiesta, and Focus, came out of the gate with more problems than normal. Further, the MyFord/MyLincoln Touch electronic infotainment system has been problematic so far, and it has been added to many vehicles, impacting reliability across several models. In addition, three historically reliable models--the Ford Escape and Fusion and Lincoln MKZ-were redesigned for 2013 and not included in the analysis. Cadillac is the top domestic brand, having moved up 14 spots this year. All General Motors nameplates--Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet, and GMC--rose
in the ranking. The Volt extended-range electric car continues to have above-average reliability, and the compact Chevrolet Cruze, dismal in its first year, improved to average. Chrysler brands had a few setbacks. This year, Consumer Reports has enough data to report that problems with some of the recently revamped Chrysler and Dodge models have dragged the nameplates’ rankings down. Last year Jeep was the top-ranked domestic brand, but it has since slid down six positions. Separating its trucks into a new nameplate, Ram, didn’t help Dodge’s standing. The story from Europe is decidedly upbeat, with all of the German luxury brands showing improvement. Six

of the seven Audis in CR’s survey rated average or better, as did 10 of the 12 BMWs. Mercedes-Benz made a good showing, with the turbocharged, four-cylinder C250 sedan doing well in its first year and the V6 E-Class sedan moving from average to above average. But the redesigned M-Class came in below average in its first year. Volkswagen had mixed results due to troubles with the Beetle, GTI, Jetta, and Touareg. As is the case every year, there is much movement across
the industry, underscoring the importance of not making assumptions simply based on brand reputation. Within a brand’s portfolio, there are models that are better than others. The findings from Consumer Reports 2012 Annual Auto Survey are based on subscribers’ experiences with 1.2 million vehicles. The organization uses that extensive data to predict how well new cars that are currently on sale will likely hold up. The complete report and rankings are now available at
ConsumerReports. org on model pages and Ratings charts.”

ore than 117,000 Canadian soldiers have given their lives to protect people from the myopic tyranny and cruelty of megalomaniacs around the world. The efforts and lives of fallen soldiers, the true cost of war, are remembered by crosses dotting landscapes in Europe and Canada. Many more Canadian soldiers returned home with the guilt of being alive and/or injuries, physical or otherwise, serving as permanent reminders of the cost of conflict. Just as many families struggle to restore the innocence that should infuse every life, the joy of a camping trip, a birthday, Father’s Day, Mother’s Day, Christmas Day, New Year’s Day, Canada Day. Remembrance Day is for all of these individuals who have sacrificed their lives, love and family for the greater good of the planet. Remembrance Day is a day when all Canadians should take part in local ceremonies to acknowledge and express their support towards the veterans and their families. But in the end, every day should be filled with remembrance, to acknowledge the price paid for our freedom, our way of life, then maybe in that brief moment of reflection, the pettiness of everyday life will be put in perspective.

Was Deloitte & Touche GTS audit a conflict of interest?
T
he Gitxsan Treaty Society (GTS) board has no interest in negotiating a treaty, and BC and Canada like it that way. What we, the Gitxsan people, are left with is a corporate model in the narrowest sense. Why else would the GTS concentrate its energies on the vaguely defined Gitxsan Alternative Governance model and fast-track the Gitxsan Development Corporation? GTS policies and procedures over the last 18 years have divided the Gitxsan nation. There is nothing wrong with economic development, but economic development alone is
not nation building. All Gitxsan people should be concerned about this. We should also be concerned about Canada and B.C.’s bottom line when it comes to the treaty process. The bottom line is Canada and B.C. treaty policies undermine the 1997 Delgamuukw decision. Chief negotiator Elmer Derrick’s $7 million deal with Enbridge last year pushed the anger of many Gitxsan people to the breaking point and this led to the seven-month blockade of the GTS office in Hazelton. Under threat of a GTS court order, the protestors withdrew their blockade in return for what many

Touche (Deloitte). Deloitte’s findings on the Black Goose investment and other matters left many unanswered questions. But we shouldn’t blame Deloitte for their findings. They did what their client (in this case Canada) instructed them to do. However, Canada should have been careful about having Deloitte conduct the assessment. Pan Terra and Energy Exploration Technologies Inc. (NXT) were in a strategic partnership arrangement with Black Goose in 2007. In the fall of 2007, the GTS invested in Black Goose and set up a company, Del ga goka, to hold Black Goose shares in trust. The GTS’ chief
negotiator was the sole trustee. This put Deloitte in a conflict of interest because Energy Exploration Technologies was their client going back at least to the year 2000 and perhaps intermittently through to 2007. It won’t do to whitewash the problems of the past as Canada has done with regard to their terms of reference for Deloittte. Canada has failed us before and will do so again.

Wright victim of prejudice Editor: (re: Hazelton RCMP allegedly went too far, Interior News, Oct. 17). Throughout my 24 years in Hazelton I’ve worked in various community positions on and off reserve. I’ve met and heard about wonderful RCMP officers. Conversely, I’ve met and heard about officers who’ve been outrageously abusive to people I’ve known and worked with. Lena Wright is an amazing and outstanding young woman. She’s intelligent and motivated and has contributed to her community in many ways. She’s currently attending college in Terrace and will, no
doubt, go on to get a degree. Lena took a shortcut through her community to get home from a dance. The distance is short, thank goodness she and her friend are intelligent and didn’t drink and drive. Sadly, I think her only problem was being an aboriginal woman. I really believe that many people get into policing for all the right reasons. Sadly, there are those who are on a power trip or are jaded and prejudiced. Perhaps better psychological screening is long past due. This type of violence is unacceptable and, so I thought, against the law. Bev Busby South Hazelton

B.C. not so natural Editor : (re: Enbridge not for my backyard, Letters, Helene Fleury, Interior News, May 2, 2012). Our intact natural places, the only such place that would be near the proposed Enbridge pipeline is the Great Bear Old Growth Rain Forest which is thousands of acres of rotting trees and other vegetation that daily spews out more carbon dioxide
into the atmosphere than all the motor traffic in the city of Vancouver. The terrain through which the pipeline would go is no more rugged than the one that has been pumping crude from Edmonton to the Burrard Inlet for the last 60 years. The pristine Douglas Channel has been plied by cargo ships for over 50 years, since Alcan and Eurocan have been in operation. There have been no collisions or other

mishaps. It is very much to the advantage of the transport companies operating these ships to make sure that this continues. That would also apply to the transport people who would operate the tankers serving Enbridge. There are more salmon and other fish killed at our various fish control weirs than have ever died from oil spills in our rivers, lakes or along our coastline. I did not specify
the fuel source of the future, with renewable or otherwise, simply because I do not know what it may be. However, to say that we should go the way of the sun or the wind would only be realistically feasible if man could gain complete control of the elements.

Wet’suwet’en Voice newsletter and the motions which speak to agreements signed with PTP (Pacific Trails {gas} Pipeline), we would like to reaffirm the Wet’suwet’en Hereditary Chiefs position on this project and provide some clarity on what the signed Confidentiality and Communication and Engagements Agreements mean. Clan meetings are being planned to present the PTP Communications and Engagement Agreement and the Confidentiality Agreement. The Wet’suwet’en Hereditary Chiefs have never supported the PTP project. These recent agreements don’t change this position. See PTP on p. A11

Letters PTP from A7 In fact there are clauses in the agreements that directly speak to this issue. Out of 17 First Nations the Moricetown Band Administration and the Office of the Wet’suwet’en (OW) are the only First Nations that have not signed benefit agreements with the company or the government.

(EAO) Certificate that PTP received in 2008, this is not a negative thing. Wet’suwet’en Clans and House members are still able to reaffirm and make their own decisions. The Confidentiality Agreement does not restrict the OW from providing information to Wet’suwet’en Clan and House membership. The Agreement provides the Office of the Wet’suwet’en access to raw data/ information PTP considers propriety property. This information was used to create the PTP project application and the same information presented to address over 500 conditions attached to the PTP Environmental Certificate. OW needs to assess the rigour and adequacy of the information PTP has gathered, as the current regulatory process is very weak in this area.

We are the Dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved and were loved, and now we lie In Flanders Fields.

BulkleyValley veterans remember By Dan Mesec Smithers / Interior News
In 1945, the world celebrated as the Second World War came to an end. Six years of global conflict finally ended and sons and daughters who went to war packed their bags and headed home from European battle fields. That was the last time the world shuddered at the sight of a global conflict. Hundreds of men and women from across the Bulkley Valley enlisted, many never to be heard from again. For those who remember it, it was an exciting time. Young and foolish, there was nothing to stop young men and women from finding a great adventure over seas and return home to build a life and family after the most deadly event in modern history. “I tried to enlist in the air force first and they were over capacity with guys in air crew and I didn’t want to go on ground crew so I tried to join the navy and they wanted to put me in as a medic and I had visions of handling bed-pans so I went and joined the army,” David Havard said. Gong through basic training, Havard said was the hardening off process. Going to Chilliwack, then to
Manitoba and finally to Kingston, Ontario where he was trained in artillery. Moving in a light armoured vehicle, Havard said he would climb into church steeples to get better coordinates to send back to the guns and on more than one occasion took fire trying to exit their post in the steeple. “Church steeples were kind of risky places, they knew we were going up there and they frequent shot at them and I got out of them two or three times just in time,” Havard said. Havard said when your young you don’t really think about the overall implications of war. “Civilians had it really hard in Europe and here at home,” Havard said. “I left home and I was the only son and they didn’t know if they’d ever see me again and you don’t think about it when your young but it must have been horrendous for them.” Being in the army, was one thing, being in the navy was another. Frank Parker knew the Navy well, after he decided to enlist and ship off to Nova Scotia for basic training. “When I went to sea, I can’t remember what year that was but I do remember the watch,” Parker said. “When your out

there and you’re looking for something you better make sure there are no submarines around.” In the Navy, keeping your lunch down was an all day effort Parker said. Enlisted as a gunner, Parker said despite some of the harsh times there were some good ones too. After leaving Smithers to be a welder in the shipyards of Prince Rupert, a friend told Parker he was joining the Navy and Parker thought, why not. “Pete Peterson said to me he was going to join the Navy and I said me too, and that’s how it happened,” Parker said. “I was in the Navy about a year before we shipped out, they don’t have much to teach you other than don’t puke.” In the north Atlantic hunting for German U-boats, Parker said a lot of the time it wasn’t as
dramatic as some might believe. “We were young, we really didn’t care, there was no worry if you were going to get up in the morning it was just part of the day,” he said. “Were not great heroes I can assure you, but we were young and we didn’t know any different and enjoyed it as much as we could.” In the years that followed both Parker and Havard found prosperity in the Bulkley Valley, finding gainful employment and raising families. Still, out of the disasters and triumphs they’ve seen, life continued to move on. Just as it did for many in the Bulkley Valley. But being apart of such a trying time of human history has undoubtably left its mark, a mark that few will ever know. A mark that Parker and Havard wish no one ever has to bear.

N EWS Smithers Fire Department donates trucks to help brothers in red in Peru By Dan Mesec Smithers / Interior News
The Smithers Fire Department has upgraded their fleet of trucks this past year and with an excess of fire trucks have decided to donate two trucks to Firefighters Without Boarders to help the brothers in red abroad. “We’ve never done this kind of thing before, this is a good news story for our community it provides us an opportunity to give another community around the world a leg up in terms of allowing another fire department to have some equipment and support their community with the prevision of emergency service,” Smithers Fire Chief, Keith Stecko said. The trucks in question, a 1976 Hendrickson/LTI 85 foot platform ladder truck and will be going to fire station #78 Guillermo Crosby Tizon in Arequipa, Peru. The second truck is a 1987 1987 Amertek crash truck will also be going to Peru, and will be utilized as a rescue and wildlands vehicle where they will find new life as the primary vehicles of a 10,000 person strong volunteer fire department in the Arequipa area of Peru. “Most of the trucks are over 30 years old,” Bob Dubbert, president of Firefighters Without Boarders said. “The Peruvian firefighters (Bomberos) are very dedicated and want to advance their skills and equipment. In April 2013 we will be undertaking our
4th training deployment to Peru. All our members pay their own airfares and use their own vacation time to go on these deployments.” The Peru Fire Service consists of 10,000 firefighters (Bomberos) who are all volunteer. The City of Lima, with over 10 million people, is served by volunteers. There are 195 fire stations in the entire country and 95% of the equipment has been donated from Canada, the U.S., Great Britain, Germany, Italy, Finland, France, Belguim, and Japan. At any time up to 60% of the trucks are out of service due to mechanical problems. Currently Firefighters Without Boarders are preparing to move the vehicles to Vancouver so they can be shipped to Peru, but may have to wait because of the coming winter road conditions. Firefighters in South America face some of the most intense situations fighting fires given the face that a lot of communities don’t have sufficient access to fire prevention equipment and techniques. However, with the help of fire departments like Smithers, firefighters can get the leg up they need to fight and prevent fires in their own communities. “The idea that our community has played apart in this really puts on a world scale of being a community that cares world wide,” Stecko said. “So were eager to make sure this thing goes through.”

You’ve thought about it for years – the day you move into retirement. But now that ‘the day’ is just around the corner, you may be having other thoughts. Have you done everything you can to prepare for that day? Are there important things left undone? Let’s relieve the stress right now with a review of retirement basics. Your retirement income will derive from public sources like the Canada/Québec Pension Plan (CPP/QPP) or Old Age Security (OAS), from company pension plans and from your personal registered and non-retirement savings. You will need to apply for CPP/QPP and OAS. You can choose to start receiving CPP/QPP benefits any time between 60 and 70 but the benefits are reduced if you receive them before 65 and increased if you do so between 65 and 70. A retiring allowance from your employer that compensates for loss of employment, recognizes long service, or pays out accumulated sick leave benefits. It is fully taxable but you may be able to transfer portions of it to your RRSP and claim a deduction for the amount you contribute. Your employer-sponsored pension plan may allow you to transfer your accumulated benefits into a locked-in, personally-directed plan. You then assume the investment risk but you also reduce the risk of forfeiting some of your pension assets in the event that you and your spouse die prematurely. Your group health coverage will likely end at retirement. Critical illness, long-term care and other supplemental health and dental insurance coverage may be needed to fill the gap. Your RRSP income can kick in when you retire or, if you don’t need the income, you can contribute until the end of your 71st year when you have the choice of cashing in your plan, converting it to a Registered Retirement Income Fund (RRIF) or buying an annuity. Plan for a fulfilling retirement lifestyle. Here are six keys to success*: 1. Have a clear vision of your future – all the facets of your retirement life. 2. Practice good health and wellness 3. Decide whether your retirement will be freedom from work or freedom to work at something you truly enjoy. 4. Be adventurous, find a happy leisure ‘life balance’ 5. Enjoy your personal relationships 6. Feel financially comfortable – and take steps to ensure that inflation and ‘new’ costs for prescriptions and medical care don’t whittle away your purchasing power and savings. The Investors Group Retirement Readiness ™ quiz at www.investorsgroup.com will help you assess your financial, emotional, social and physical readiness for retirement, compare you to other Canadians and provide advice on the steps you can take to prepare for retirement. Take the quiz, then talk to your professional advisor about how to get the most out of your retirement years. *Source: The Retirement Lifestyle Centre This column, written and published by Investors Group Financial Services Inc.

Next week, the Bulkley Valley Research Centre hosts Adding It All Up: Balancing Benefits and Effects of Resource Development. The focus of the three-day conference, Nov. 14 – 16, at the Hudson Bay Lodge, is to explore the cumulative effects of resource development and potential solutions to those problems. Given the importance of the resource industry in the Bulkley Valley, the conference is timely and relevant. “The Bulkley Valley Research Centre’s primary focus is conducting research in the public interest, BVRC spokesperson Amanda Follett said. “Cumulative effects studies take into account the full spectrum of how our communities are affected by development, jobs, environment, culture and lifestyle. “Because the north is facing an economic boom, we feel this is a timely conference topic.” The conference also provides an opportunity for much-needed dialogue between diverse perspectives, research project manager with BVRC, Rick Budhwa said. “With multiple large-scale projects proposed for the North, it takes a timely look at where our region is headed and how we can balance economic growth with maintaining our northern lifestyles.” Conference organizers have lined up several notable speakers, including keynote speaker Lorne Greig. Greig, a systems ecologist with expertise in a variety of areas including adaptive management, policy analysis, facilitation and public consultation and cumulative effects assessment, addresses conference participants Nov. 14 at the banquet. Greig’s talk, entitled Adopting a Cumulative Effects Mindset, describes how best to assess cumulative effects. “All of the significant environmental issues that we deal with today are matters of cumulative effects,”Greig said in a BVRC press release. “The effect that you’re concerned about is the effect on a species at the end of a causal chain.

Giguere: Horseshoeing at its best By Percy N. Hébert Smithers/Interior News
T
here are snowflakes drifting about and the thermometer is below zero, but Jacob Giguere is
smiling. Giguere is a farrier and there’s nothing else he’d rather do. “The horses,” he said was the initial reason he became a farrier. “I really enjoy the horses and the people.” Giguere, 30, initially entered the world of horses as a guide, but a need to tend to the hooves of the horses on the trail gave Giguere a bit of an introduction to the farrier trade and he discovered he had a knack for it. After a few years, Giguere said he felt he was at a crossroads. As a guide, the work is seasonal, and Giguere said he was looking around trying to figure out what his next move should be. He looked back on happy moments in his life and the one common theme was being around horses. “So I figured I needed to find a job to be around them,” he said as he reached for a hoof knife. Once he decided he wanted to be a farrier Giguere headed to California where he took a 2.5 month course at the Pacific Coast Horseshoeing School in Plymouth, California. He pares back the frog, a pad of dead tissue on the bottom of the hoof, then clears the dirt out of the sulcus, a groove, on either side of the frog to minimize the risk of the horse contracting thrush, an infection of the hoof. Being a farrier is not exactly the safest of professions, and rookies can make many mistakes.
Jacob Giguere tends to the hoof of one of the trail horses owned by Mike Danielson.

“Not stretching,” he says with a laugh, but he’s serious because he spent most of this day hunched over to tend to the

hooves of more than 20 trail horses. The owner of the horses, Mike Danielson appreciates Giguere’s skill.
“He does an awesome job and he’s good with my horses,” Danielson, owner of Little Dease Ventures, said. While reaching for a hoof clipper, Giguere adds farriers also need to be able to read and understand horses and know how to interact with them. “They [apprentice farriers] don’t present themselves to the horse properly,” he said. “You need good horsemanship skills.” With the hoof trimmed back, Giguere reaches for a long file and smooths out the edges, then moves around to the next hoof. Giguere is in demand, a testament to his skill, with clients as far away as California, in addition to the Bulkley Valley and the Cariboo. Another aspect of horseshoeing Giguere appreciates are the ongoing learning opportunities. In addition to learning on the job and from watching experienced farriers on subtle differences in the fitting of horseshoes on trail horses as opposed to rodeo horses or dressage horses, Giguere attends yearly conferences to learn more about the art of being a farrier. This year Giguere is up for the Rising Shoeing Star, a recognition of just how talented a farrier he is. “I was humbled when I got the call,” he said. Although Giguere makes quick work of tending to the hooves, he admits there really is nothing easy about being a farrier. “It’s a hard job, it’s not easy,” he said. “You have to be mentally focused everyday, if not you’re going to get hurt.” Despite the difficulty and the risk of being stepped on or kicked, Giguere has no intention of switching careers. “I’m passionate about it,” Giguere said. “That’s why I’m in it.”

Juncos and bears enjoy feeders Our clocks have been changed and now we feel as if we are right into winter mode. So far I would say the weather hasn’t been too bad. Compared to the folks in the eastern part of our continent we’re lucky indeed. Could change of course. Tonight as I walked the dogs in the field I saw a white swan fly overhead. Not sure what kind it was but it was very beautiful. Just after that the northern harrier did a fly by. In a bushy area I could hear the gray jay. Talking about the gray jay, I was asked the other day if the jay and the northern shrike could look similar. The northern shrike which is classified as a song bird is the one who

will take other smaller birds and impale them here and there. It has a large head with a hooked bill. It also has a black mask over the eyes which doesn’t extend over the bill. Hope this helps. Seems like a few owls around now. One that has been seen is the short-eared owl. This owl is often active during the day. It will often be seen in open fields. I hear from the northeast that the
golden eagles are still around Muncho lake. They have been there for many years. What a sight to see. Chickadees have come in great numbers now. Some are seeing the mountain chickadees and the boreal in the northeast. Karen from Fort Nelson has tried making those pumpkin dog treats. So far so good as far as the dogs are concerned. I’ll have to make some this week. I was talking to Mark and he’s made a wind protector for his platform feeder. The birds seem to be coming in greater numbers. Lots of juncos and chickadees. The grouse like the feeder as well. For sure it’s time to put out your suet feeders. That is of course as long as the bear has left your area.

Earthquake a not so gentle reminder
W
hat were you doing when the earthquake rattled your chimes? I was doing dishes, thought I was having a stroke. Then I saw things swaying, felt a general shudder run through my home. Funny now, not so funny then: desperate for news, switched on The Peak, in the middle of broadcasting a hockey game. One announcer said, “Was that an earthquake?” the other interrupted with “he scored,” and they excitedly commented on the game. Then one said “That was a 7.5 earthquake,” interrupting that again with more excited hockey reporting. People from Kamloops were on Facebook, asking if we were OK up here. They had heard all sorts of frightening things.

Doogan-Smith honoured for dedication to music By Dan Mesec Smithers / Interior News
Local music teacher, Mike Doogan-Smith was honoured by his peers with a Professional Music Educator Award from the province last week at Smithers secondary school. The award came as a surprise to Doogan-Smith, who didn’t know he was being considered for the award. “Unbeknownst to me, my principal and other parents have been nominating me for quite sometime and I guess I was the lucky recipient this

year,” Doogan-Smith said. As one of the most prestigious provincial music awards, Doogan-Smith said he was honoured and humbled to receive the award and felt blessed to be at SSS to build one of the
strongest music programs in the north. “I’m just trying to provide as many musical opportunities as possible to the kids here with the time and resources we have,” Doogan-Smith said.
Smithers has become a hub for culture in the north and with several commercial performances each year at the Della Herman, DooganSmith tries to encourage his students to push the boundaries of their musical abilities. “I think because we’re in a northern community, we don’t have a symphony orchestra at our finger tips,” Doogan-Smith said. “Whenever we bring people like that up there’s always a cost and I’m willing to do that to give these students the best musical experience possible and I’ll continue to do that.”
Some of the students from the Smithers secondary school drama department are flexing their funny bones and muscles. The students and special guests are offering an evening of sketch comedy at the Della Herman Theatre, Nov. 9 at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $8 and are available at the door.

The performance is directed by Roxi Dykstra, Sharon Carrington is the project manager and harpsichordist and Laura Wimbush-Hols is concertmaster.

Steelheads edge Bulkley Rivals 5-1 By Dan Mesec Smithers / Interior News
The Smithers Steelheads lead a convincing win last weekend against their Bulkley Valley rivals, the Houston Luckies in a 5-1 victory at the Smithers Civic Arena Friday night. Despite a slow start and several unnecessary penalties, the Steelheads hammered the Luckies, taking control of the puck in Houston territory for most of the game. “We started out all right, but after a while we fell asleep and started taking penalties and weren’t in the game for a while but it still worked out,” coach Tom DeVries said. “You get a bunch of penalties and you get all the lines out of whack and just can’t concentrate on hockey and it upsets the whole game.” It was the first game of the season for captain Darryl Young, which brought more depth to the Steelheads roster. After being off the ice so long Young was just happy to be back in the lineup. “It’s great to be back on the ice, I’m
excited about the year because our team looks as good if not better than last year. It’s great to finally be part of that,” Young said. The Steelheads looked flat footed right out of the gate and faced two Houston attacks before they got their footing and headed down the ice. In the second half of the first period, the Steelheads finally made their move and forced one in on a three-on-one. As time was winding down, a shot from the slot put two up on the board for the Steelheads with only seven-second left in the first. The second period started off harmless enough with the Luckies drawing a penalty a minute in. However, as Mike Wall was skating to the bench to put a sixth man on for the delayed penalty, a pass to the blue line was missed and the puck sailed into the Steelheads own net, putting the game to 2-1. Less than a minute later the Steelheads regained a two goal lead burying the puck past Brock Henrickson to make it 3-1.

heated moments that ended in ejections for both teams, the Steelheads got back on track and scored a fifth goal in the final minutes of the game, to make it 5-1. Despite drawing
several penalties, Young felt the Steelheads still played all right but need to regroup and keep the penalties to a minimum this weekend against Houston. “I don’t know why we took so
many penalties, there were a couple of lazy ones that we shouldn’t have taken, I don’t know if the ice was heavy or just a bit sluggish but we’ll talk about them and we’ll correct them and
hopefully they won’t happen as often,” Young said. The Steelheads face the second Battle of the Bulkley this weekend in Houston, Saturday night. Puck drops at 7:30 p.m.

Smithers Midget Storm Tier 3 team faced their first loss of the season last weekend at a tournament in Quesnel, but not before hammering the competition and making it to the finals. This season the Midget Storm have been doing exceptionally well. Beating out most of the teams in the Skeena division with a solid squad of second and first year players. Coach Brendon Hutchinson said, getting a lot of second year players back really made a big impact on the team and the first year players have been stepping up to the plate all season. “A few of the guys could have gone on to play junior B but a lot of them decided to come back, so that was a huge boots for our team,” Hutchinson said. “We got a lot of skill and experience we didn’t anticipate getting and a solid core group of second year players.” Despite losing to a tier 2 team in the final game of the tournament in Quesnel the Midget Storm have remained undefeated, now holding a 12-1-1 record. Two weeks ago they

beat Prince Rupert 6-4 and 7-3 in a double header in Smithers, clearly displaying their dominance in the league. “There are some weak teams this year which sometimes causes other teams to play down to that level but we’ve just played to the best of our abilities every game,” Hutchinson said. “Terrace is our toughest competition but we’ve lined up five tournaments this year so
I think that will be our biggest challenge, prepping for zones and going for provincials.” Bobby Jo Love, a forward for the Midget Storm said, although they’ve been winning pretty decisively, they still have a lot of work ahead of them if they want to be successful at provincials. “Our positional play is really key to our wins and our success has been due to our work ethic and team play,” he

S ports SSS Rugby 7’s hit hard in Williams Lake By Dan Mesec Smithers / Interior News
The Smithers Secondary boys and girls rugby 7’s teams did remarkably well two weeks ago at northwest zone finals in Williams Lake. The junior boys team won all of their games followed by the girls only losing one in the final day of the tournament. Unfortunately the team had to head home early because of deteriorating road conditions but were well in a position to capture gold or silver if they’d finished the tournament. Despite that, coach Cobus Jonker was very pleased with the season and is hopeful next year’s season will take Smithers rugby to the next level. “The 2012 rugby season ended on an unexpected high note. I am particularly happy with the performance of our juniors,” Jonker said. With decisive wins against Prince George and Vanderhoof the Smithers Secondary rugby program is getting much needed rejuvenation and next year promises too top this years achievements. For more information about Smithers Secondary Rugby contact the athletic department at 250-8472133.

Smithers grade eight boys volleyball teams were battling it out on the courts last weekend as they prepare for zone finals this weekend. “It’s mainly about skill development at this level,” BVCS coach, Chris Steenhof said. “We’re trying to get them use to a position, whether they’re a setter a middle or power,we get them to grow in that position and try to figure out where their strengths are.” In the early stages of development there is still tough challenges to overcome. According to Steenhof despite being a small filed, there are some great teams in the northwest zone and said he was pleased with the way BVCS handled their games. “Centennial is a really strong team and they did okay against them so we’re happy with the way they’ve played so far,” he said.

games, coach Clairinda Penninga said the boys are progressing well but still have a lot of work to do. “The boys did fine, they still have some work to do but it was definitely a good tournament for them,” Penninga said. “We’re working on getting the basics set ups. Serving is always important when they start and then getting
a good set up on the court, bumping to the setter and set up for a hit.” Granted Ebenizer is a young team mostly made up of grade sevens, they have filled in their positions well, said Penninga and are continuing to develop as a team. “They’ve had a big improvement from the beginning of the season, they still have
their struggles but they’re working really hard and doing well,” Penninga said. But despite having a rough start to the day BVCS finished strong and are looking ahead to zones this weekend in Smithers. With zones in their sights, Luke Berarducci said the team is ready but still have a few things to work on this week in practice

Kitimat: A safe option There’s no mistaking the importance of Kitimat, B.C., to the Gateway project. It’s where the pipeline ends, and it’s where marine operations begin. I’d like to set the record straight on why we chose Kitimat, at the head of the Douglas Channel, as the site for Gateway’s marine terminal. The answer took thousands of hours of research, planning, engineering, environmental science, oceanography consultation, weather monitoring, and simulation. But the simple reason is . . . safety, all the way. The Douglas Channel is one of the widest and deepest inland waterways on North America’s west coast. Government research had already determined Kitimat to be among the safest ports in B.C., and about 1,500 tankers carrying petrochemicals have docked safely at Kitimat over the past quarter-century. Strategically speaking, Kitimat provides the lowest environmental risk for all aspects of Gateway operations. It offers a safer endpoint for the pipeline route, from a geotechnical perspective. The marine terminal at Kitimat also provides safe approaches for tanker traffic — with a suitable turning basin in Kitimat Arm, and natural deep-water berths that are sheltered
from open-water wave conditions. At its very narrowest, the Douglas Channel is 1.4 kilometres wide — three times wider than Transport Canada’s recommended width for two-way tanker traffic. Water depths in the marine channels are up to several hundred metres. As an added measure, full simulations of vessel traffic in the Douglas Channel were carried out at a world-leading facility in Denmark. It tested the largest proposed vessels in environmental conditions that tankers would experience in the marine channels. The result was a thumbs-up on the shipping route, endorsed by both government departments and the British Columbia Coast Pilots. Why Kitimat? Why the Douglas Channel? It’s the safe option for Gateway.

The Bulkley Valley is home to a lot of elite athletes. Some say there’s something in the water, others say people are just born into athleticism. But, by design or not the Bulkley Valley continues to turn out one great athlete after another and Hazelton’s Regan Yee is no exception, ranking among the best steeplechasers in Canada and the World. “All the ranking happened this past summer in competition,” Yee said. “I think I raced my best this year in Kelowna during the steeplechase.” Yee said, being in Hazelton is not always the best for training, so she has to make her way to Smithers week in and week out to keep up with her development as a steeplechaser. “I’m in Hazelton right, so we don’t really have the facilities here for training so I’ve put a lot of time into making the trip into Smithers three or four times a week to train,” Yee said. “Competing has been a big time commitment too because you have to travel pretty far from Hazelton to find
good competition.” Despite being ranked first in the country and 9th overall in the world in amateur steeplechase, Yee said her training regiment is not as intense as some might think. “I train about three times a week usually,” she said. “I focus a lot on eating right and getting lots of sleep and on training day you just have to push yourself as hard as you can for that day.” Steeplechase is more of an off beat track and field event. It’s not as popular as the 100 metre dash for instance but it takes a lot of grit to run 3000 kilometres at a time, jumping in and out of huge puddles. But for Yee it was a surprise she never thought she would have. “In grade 9 at the zone championships, I had never heard of steeplechase before and my coach told me on the day of the meet that I should try it out,” Yee said. “I get to jump in a water pit, kind of exciting. So I tried it out and really liked it and I’ve stuck with it ever since.” Now that she’s secured one of the top rankings, Yee said she hopes to continue her steeplechase into university and maybe

some day will take her far beyond her imagination. “We’ll see where steeplechase takes me,” Yee said. “The Olympics, of course, is the ultimate goal but I don’t know I’ll see if I can get that far.”

S ports BVCS Sr. Girls Volleyball team finishes northwest playday undefeated By Dan Mesec Smithers / Interior News
The Bulkley Valley Christian School Sr. girls volleyball team defeated Hazleton in two straight sets last weekend in the final game of the last northwest playday before zones this weekend. Coach John Swanson said the team has excelled this season and is looking ready for zone competition, sharpening up their skills, remaining undefeated last weekend, one last time before the tournament. “The girls did fantastic, Swanson said. “We’re really excited because this is going to be our last play day before zones and all year we’ve played a lot of different players,
giving them lots of experience and as we get closer to zones now the expectations are raised in the way they play. We went undefeated so we’re really happy that everyone really stepped up to the plate.” Although the girls have been playing well this season, clinching key wins against SSS and Ebenezer, there’s still work to be done as they fill into their new formations. “The new serve receive formation, we’ve had time to work on, they’re much more comfortable with it and now we’re able to start with some hits and swings,” Swanson said. In the early matches of the playday, BVCS faced off against their toughest competitors from
Ebenezer but after a hard fought battle were able to edge them two sets to one. Still, despite their improvements, Natasha Steenhof said the girls still need to work on their confidence if they are to have a shot at zones and provincials. “We’re pretty confident, I think beating Ebenezer, which we’ve lost to all season, it felt really good,” Steenhof said. “Our passing has been a lot better with the new formation and it helps us hit well so I think we’re doing much better. If we can just play like we can, be really positive and keep the energy up we know we can win.” The BVCS Sr. girls travel to Terrace for zone finals this weekend.
BVCS defenders block a hit from Hazelton Secondary to take another point late in the final match of the day at BVCS in Smithers Saturday afternoon. BVCS prepares for zones this weekend. Dan Mesec photo

C ommunity The College of New Caledonia offers new communications training By Dan Mesec Smithers / Interior News
The College of New Caledonia and Cybernet have partnered to bring much needed communication technologies to the north, with a new program in Prince George. Jacqueline Skalin of Cybernet Communications said the additions Cybernet is providing the Computer Network Electronics Technician program fills a need in the north as integrated communications systems become more common in rural
locations. “I think what’s unique about it is it’s a new opportunity for the people in the north,” Skalin said. “Previous to this course people had to go all the way to Vancouver to get this type of training.” “Now with it being offered in Prince George people don’t have to go as far and there’s a high chance those people will stay in their community.” Skalin said during the lead up to implementing the new program CNC recog-
nized they had a gap in their programing. They didn’t have the wireless, technical programing component in any of their courses. They surveyed companies in the area and found Cybernet was the best choice to partner for a program such as this, and they approached Cybernet to integrate that training. The program offers students a comprehensive introduction to internet infrastructure and communications technologies. With dozens of in-
ternet installation and support companies in the north, that cover everything from satellite link ups to DSL installations. In the new year, program coordinator Allan Nordal said CNC will conduct the pilot program throughout the semester. “We have 17 students enrolled,” he said. “One is an introductory level, the second level is more of a hands on experience, learning about the problems we face as wireless provides
and security of that data. The third level is a professionals level which is a certification level, which will give students certification as a wireless security professional.” Wireless technologies have become increasingly integrated into our everyday lives that the need to have trained professionals in the field, keeping these systems running smoothly is essential for moving the economy forwards.
Especially in remote areas of the northwest, Nordal explained. He said the CNET program will give students the tools they need to secure a job right out of the gate. It will also give industry a steady flow of specially trained individuals that will meet their needs in the field. Industry leaders have been talking with CNC for years about the shortages in finding properly trained technicians. This
course will help fill that gap. “Because of the landscape and diversity of this province, this type of training is relevant whether you’re in Kelowna or Dease Lake,” Nordel said “We want to see this course flourish and hopefully will ‘cut the fluff out’ and bring all the essential, instructors and material together to make sure what the program teaches is exactly what is needed.”
Flu season is fast approaching! Pharmasave will be offering flu vaccines – free of charge for anyone that is eligible. This includes: • People with chronic medical conditions (i.e. asthma, heart conditions, immune disease, diabetes) • Health care workers • Family members/household contacts of the above people.

SSS helps to end local hunger with We Scare Hunger Campaign
By Dan Mesec Smithers / Interior News
Students at Smithers Secondary rallied together to raise money to end hunger in Smithers last week, taking part in the Free the Children’s We Scare Hunger Campaign. Artica Cuningham, a member of Students for a Better World said the campaign was trying to bring attention to hunger issues in the community and help students understand struggling to keep food
on the table is not just an urban issue but also a rural one. “We’re trying to bring awareness to child hunger within the school and we’re trying to increase the amount of food bank donations,” Cuningham said. “It’s getting colder outside and it’s really important the food bank stocks it’s shelves. “We’ve partnered with Free the Children’s We Scare Hunger Campaign so we’re going to be collecting donations
for the next month in the school and we’re hoping kids will start to understand it’s not just a big city problem but there’s a lot of people in our own community who are struggling with this quietly and we’re trying to bring attention to that issue.” The students ran a series of games and Halloween costume and pumpkin carving contests to raise funds for the local campaign and to help the local food bank stock up for the winter.

Hazelton war veteran ran for his country
By Jerome Turner Hazelton/Interior News
Neil Benjamin Sterritt was born August 9, 1913 in Glen Vowell, B.C. When he was 27 (1940) he became part of the Canadian Army, which was populated by many from the area before him. He spent the years leading up to his military service doing things he enjoyed. such as, baseball, hockey, hunting on horseback and fishing. From athletics to academics Sterritt excelled when he put his mind and body to task. When he wasn’t at school he learned from Charles, father, and Kathleen, mother, and nine siblings. Sterritt grew up loving the outdoors and when he was old enough began working
in mining for Buena Vista Mining Company Ltd. or guiding for geological survey groups in northwestern B.C. Having developed a sense of adventure, Sterritt decided to join the military in 1940. He was stationed in Prince Rupert, Esquimalt and Nanaimo, B.C. then in Ontario for a month. While in Ontario he was offered a job at a Ford manufacturing plant, but declined. The military was where he wanted to serve and with that decision Sterritt was sent to England to full-war. He doesn’t like to speak about his service overseas and rarely takes part in Remembrance Day ceremonies by personal choice. As the war effort was winding down, circa 1945, Sterritt used his athletic gifts
to lift spirits. He participated in several track and field events in Holland, England and the Netherlands. The highlight of those events was a silver medal for his 440 relay team, which beat the top-ranked Canadian team, but could not best the Dutch team. During his off-duty time Sterritt returned home to be close to family, play sports and work. He toiled in the Red Rose Mine in the Roche De Boule mountain range in 1943, which produced ore until 1954, when tungsten was deemed unprofitable. When the war ended Sterritt returned to his family in Hazelton. He now holds the name Wii Gaak, Lax Gibuu (Wolf clan), which was passed to him in 1983. See VET on p. C3

Drag their feet
A
t the best of times, the provincial and the Federal governments drag their feet in reconciliation talks. At first they did not want to talk outside of their mandate, the Land Selection, which dictates that only a portion of traditionally claimed territory can be given through treaty. They have finally agreed to explore the notion that Gitxsan society existed prior to colonization. We are not alone in this situation and why should we be surprised? In the mean time we must deal with Industry. We know how we should interact with industry according to the law. Industry has no problems abiding by the law. At the Summit last month all industry representatives told the Chiefs they fulfill their legal obligations. The dragging of feet has everything to do with the Government’s ability to reconcile the pre-existence of Gitxsan culture. Some Band led groups can live with land selection because they are indoctrinated to accept something
that will, in essence, be a bigger reserve, hence the spinning wheels. Some bands, on the other hand, do not agree with land selection. From Mary Johnson’s perspective, a plaintiff in the Delgamuukw case, in the early 70’s a fair agreement, “will likely not happen in my lifetime, maybe not yours,” she says.
The Canadian and provincial government does have an interest in settling the, “Indian problem” and we feel Delgamuukw encompasses the remedies necessary here. We would like for nothing less than all of our 33,000 square kilometres. Which begs the question: Where do we go from here? We are implementing what we can, creating the climate that translates to good paying jobs. When the time comes for the province to hear how reconciliation works, in many cases, we will already have the groundwork completed. Overall we protect our interests in the manner that we are expected to. We do not lose sight of the principles left for us by Mary Johnson et al, bless their souls.

But the night when Lena allegedly suffered a chipped tooth, scrapes and bruises, while walking home, at the hands of the RCMP, is still a hot-button issue. “There was nothing really legal about what happened based on what Lena says,” Barbara Barker, defense attorney, said. “People were choosing not to drink and drive and [RCMP] were waiting for those people.” People should feel safe in their own community and
Hazelton/Interior News
Residents of Hazelton held a walk last Monday in opposition to alleged RCMP shortcomings. Members of the community shared their recommendations with the RCMP to make the community more comfortable for all.
The main message at last weeks Respect for All rally in New Hazelton was, “Serve and protect not abuse and neglect,” and the message is gaining momentum. Although Lena Wilson (Wright), the person involved in the incident that sparked the rally, could not make it, stories were shared by some in attendance of instances where law enforcement officers

that is the reason for the rally, according to organizers Cristina Soto and Cynthia McCreery. Yet problems remain for Wilson (Wright). “I’m still frustrated that I have all this paperwork to fill out,” Wilson said. “And at the end of it the RCMP get to investigate themselves anyway.” Wilson feels she is being rushed through the paperwork and alleges the RCMP is telling authorities she has signed documents when she hasn’t.

Veterans past from Hazelton
VET from C1
When asked about getting a standing ovation at his son Neil John’s graduation he said, “Not bad for a bad boy from Glen Vowell.” There are several veterans from the Hazelton area that preceded Sterritt in the military. In the First World War four Hazeltonians are listed on the Aboriginal Veteran’s honour list. Andrew, Charles and David Mowatt and Peter Wilson. Three of the above fought in the 143rd Battalion of the Canadian Expeditionary Force, the latter were called “storm troopers” by Axis forces and were noted for exemplary field work in the Vimy Ridge and Passchendaele offensives. H.W. Tait, Wet’suwet’en, is also listed as battling in the Second World War from the Hazelton area. Kenneth Edward Harris, Glen Vowell, is also listed, but no time frame is given for his services to the Canadian armed forces.

By Jerome Turner
Hazelton/Interior News
The Hazelton Minor Hockey Association (HMHA) is doing all it can to prevent a repeat of this year’s inactive bantam team in the future and to do that they’re urging parents to register their kids early next year. This year’s Novice team barely found enough players to fill the bench but they pulled some players down and up from other divisions to fill out the roster. “It’s something that we need to address quickly,” Ryneld Starr, HMHA secretary, said. “If kids wait until atom or peewee to start playing hockey they’ll have a tougher time catching up skillwise.” With some players moving away and girls usually opting to play with their own gender around the bantam age (13-14 years-old), there wasn’t enough players. “Five of our players had to play in Smithers this year,” Starr said. Three of the players forced to go to Smithers had to move up a division as well. “These are 13 yearolds playing against 17 year-olds.” To get the numbers up Starr wants parents to know there are misconceptions when it comes to a kid playing hockey these days. “Hockey’s not as expensive as some might think,” he said. KidSport Canada will give each player up to $300 and CanadianTire’s Jumpstart program will sponsor children

as well. “All it takes is a little research and money for your kid will be available,” Starr said. Chevrolet buys helmets for virtually every 5-year-old that applies to their Safe and Fun hockey program with nearly 10,000 helmets available this year. There are full hockey kits for kids that have everything but skates that cost close to $100, according to Starr. Another up and coming opportunity is for girls teams in the near future. “We have five girls on the novice team this year,” Starr said. “So if we get a few more out there will be enough for a full team.” B.C. minor hockey was also close to eliminating checking in house leagues, which would make the game safer during the development stages. There are close to 100 players in the HMHA currently.

Top three resume makeover tips The Basics: Formatting
Like any good brand, your resume needs to be eyecatching and effective. Choose a professional font, such as Arial or Times New Roman, and ensure the font size is legible, generally 10-12 point, except for your name and headings which can be larger and bolded. Most hiring managers prefer an at-a-glance format. Use bullet points rather than paragraphs, although ensure you keep your sections lined up and consistent throughout the document. Be cognizant of the length, one or two pages for less experienced and non-management roles and three pages for senior-level applications. Also, proof read, proof read, proof
read. Surveys have shown that as many as three out of four hiring managers will discard a resume with as few as two typos. Don’t put your faith in spell- check; have others review and try reading from the bottom up to catch any additional errors.
Reverse chronological or functional? That is the question. Most hiring managers prefer a reverse chronological format, listing the most recent job first with previous jobs following. This gives hiring managers a more fluid account of your career progression and typically highlights the most pertinent skills in greatest detail. This may not be
the right format, however, if you have any breaks or gaps in employment or if you have a fragmented background with many jobs, professions or industries worked in a short time period. In this case, a functional resume, summarizing key areas of experience, may be a better solution. Another option, however, is using a reverse chronological resume and closing the gaps or fragments in employment. For instance, if you did temporary work or education between permanent roles, list this information. Likewise, if you performed the same job function with several companies in a short time period, group this information together. For instance: Administrative Assistant, Company A, Company B,

Company C 20072009. This answers some of the questions hiring managers will have about your experience and career progression as well as increase your chances of securing an interview.

How much is enough? For older job seekers who fear age discrimination, you don’t need to include your full career summary. While situations differ based on the number of jobs held, think of including either the last three to four jobs or 15 years of experience, whichever is less. For those lacking experience, it is acceptable to include voluntary, unpaid or relevant educational involvement on your resume. If you were a

Wilson wows crowd at Misty River gallery By Jerome Turner Hazelton/Interior News
Wade Wilson, who grew up in Hazelton, returned home and opened his monthlong photographic display, Poetic Light, last Friday with a bit of personalized poetry at the Misty River art gallery. Gallery organizers made sure there was ample entertainment, but Wilson’s visual and written art was the focal point. After a few songs from local vocalists, Li’ Trio, Wilson let fly with some spokenword poems. “Winter solstice is upon me and its fingers grip me tight,” Wilson recited from rote to the audience from his poem The Longest Night. “It’s as hard as a shard that impales you in the night.” Nearly 40 people attended the opening and Wilson held young and old in rapt attention with his words. “His poetry was almost like rapping,”
Wade Wilson has a photography show called Poetic Light at the Misty River gallery in Hazelton until November 30. Contributed photo
Phil Muir, retired physician, said. “It really makes you think.” After his poems he shared what it meant to return. “I’ve been gone for 18 years,” Wilson said. “To come home and display my art is a pretty cool feeling.” Wilson began
writing poetry in the mid-90s and went on to earn a degree in English literature at Simon Fraser University. During his journey through university Wilson acquired a passion for photography. While teaching in England he worked
in graphic design and during trips around Europe he was able to capture some vivid images. “It’s really something I’ve picked up on the side,” Wilson said. “My family got me the camera and I’m eternally in their debt.” His photos usually involve some aspect of nature and captures a unique aspect that translates something unexpected to the viewer. Whether it be a small girl interacting with dolphins at the Vancouver Aquarium, which resembles a Poltergeist movie poster or sunlight beaming through a hole in a veiny leaf, Wilson captures moments that inspire him. “I pretty much had to have my camera on the ground to get this one,” Wilson said, as he described a juxtaposed shot of a still-standing portion of the Berlin wall in front of the Potsdamer Platz building.
“This is where the treaty was signed that established the wall in the first place.” “As soon as I found out he was coming home I asked him to do a show here,” Rene Chandler, gallery restaurant owner and volunteer for the arts council, said. Locals and the recently emigrated were thrilled Wilson was brought to the gallery. Kathy Toff, new to Hazelton, noticed some of her old haunts in Wilson’s photos. “I used to live in Langley and some of his pics make me miss the ocean,” Toff said. “Amazing colours.” “I’m always looking for new perspectives,” Wilson said. “Its harder to find angles and places that I’ve never shot, but I’m going to keep looking.”

Strict marine safety standards will ensure we respect our neighbours above, around and below us.
Although tankers have been safely navigating the north coast and its channels for decades, marine safety remains a top priority for British Columbians. We have been planning the Northern Gateway Project for over a decade, with a particular focus on protecting the environment. We have added specific safety requirements to our marine operations plan to help make the waters of the north coast safer not just for tankers serving the project, but for all marine vessels.
Tankers will reduce speeds in the channels…
Qualified BC Coast Pilots will board and guide all tankers… To prevent spills, all tankers serving the project will be modern and double-hulled, and will be vetted by independent, third party agencies before entering Canadian waters. Once strict safety and environmental standards are met, they will be guided through the Douglas and Principe Channels by qualified BC Coast Pilots.
Tankers travel slowly, but to make sure that marine species and their habitats are respected, tankers will be required to reduce speed as they pass through certain sections of the channels. Even their escort tugboats will have quieter engines to reduce underwater noise.
Powerful tugboats will escort tankers… Additional radar and navigational aids will improve safety for all vessels…
Tugboats have been shown to significantly reduce tanker incidents worldwide. Powerful tugboats that have been specially commissioned for Northern Gateway will assist in the safe arrival and departure of tankers. All tankers will be attended by a close escort tug. In the channels, laden tankers will have two tugs–one tethered at all times. These tugboats will have emergency response equipment on board and will be capable of assisting any marine vessel.
Ad #EN018-11/12E REV
For increased safety and sure guidance, additional radar systems and navigational aids, such as beacons, buoys and lights, will be installed throughout the routes. This will not only improve safety for tankers, but for all marine traffic on the north coast.
Discover more about our rigorous marine safety plan and join the conversation at marine.northerngateway.ca.
It’s more than a pipeline.
It’s a path to delivering energy safely.

Richard (Dick) Stewart McDiarmid
Dearly loved husband of Sue, and “Father Dearest� to Rick (Carla), Zerena, Stewart (Jen), and Jess, Dick spent his life in BC from his birth in Kelowna on September 6, 1944, to his passing on October 25, 2012, in the Bulkley Valley. Dick spent most of his time outdoors, building roads, establishing plantations and fighting forest fires across the province during his long career with the Forest Service and as a consultant afterward. In recent years, Dick spent winters on his trap line near the family farm in Quick. With bootlaces flapping and a roll of flagging tape hanging out of a pocket, Dick covered thousands of miles of the province’s most remote regions. He had a deep knowledge of BC’s wilderness and great respect for it, which he passed on to many colleagues, family members and friends. Dick also travelled widely across Canada and in Europe and Africa and spent many hours reading about and debating world affairs and politics. At ease whether determining road layouts or reciting poetry, Dick told good stories, wry jokes and enjoyed working on community projects, helping out neighbours and visiting with friends near and far. Dick is sorely missed by his sister Wendy Banta of Smithers, brothers Ian and Greg (Terry) of Salmon Arm, grandchildren Gavin, Caysen, Linden and Abbigael, and nieces, nephews and many friends. Donations in Dick’s memory can be made to the Round Lake Community Association (care of Treasurer Mary Hall, 11687 Round Lake Rd., Telkwa BC, V0J 2X2) or Northern Health Home and Community Care at the Bulkley Valley District Hospital. His life was gentle, and the elements So mixed in him that Nature might stand up And say to all the world: “This was a man!� William Shakespeare

Stephen Point retires as Lieutenant Governor By Tom Fletcher Victoria/Black Press
Wearing a kilt representing the clan of a Scottish ancestor, Lieutenant Governor Steven Point ended his five-year term Thursday with a unique ceremony at
the B.C. legislature. In the ornate rotunda now decorated by his hand-carved dugout canoe, B.C.’s first aboriginal Queen’s representative joined a choir and band to perform an original song he dedicated to the people of B.C.
Real Estate
Premier Christy Clark presented Point and his wife Gwendolyn with gifts, and Point was visibly moved when presented with a hand-crafted guitar made in Kamloops. Clark praised the couple for their work during the past
Real Estate
Real Estate
five years, including a partnership with Rotary Clubs on literacy in remote B.C. communities. Clark recounted Point’s career, starting as a chief of his own First Nation, moved on to Grand Chief of the Sto:lo Tribal Council, earning two
Real Estate
law degrees, becoming a provincial court judge, and serving as chief commissioner of the B.C. Treaty Commission before accepting Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s invitation to serve as Lieutenant Governor. “He set out to be a
Real Estate
role model for First Nations people, to inspire young people, and he has reached that goal,” Clark said. Point praised Clark and said the country needs more women leaders, and also showed his penchant for humour.

“Well, it’s all over,” Point said. “I feel like Dorothy at the end of the Wizard of Oz. “I’m going to go home now.” Chilcotin rancher Judith Guichon was sworn in Friday as B.C.’s 29th Lieutenant Governor.
