Pipelines a potential cash cow for RDBN By Ryan Jensen Smithers/Interior News
The Regional District of Bulkley-Nechako (RDBN) could almost double its tax base if five of the proposed pipeline projects go ahead. In a memo to the RDBN board, financial administrator Hans Berndorff summarized the estimated tax impact of the proposed natural gas pipelines: Transcanada Shell Coastal Gaslink, TransCanada Progress Energy, Apache Corp. Pacific Trails and Spectra Energy and the Enbridge Northern Gateway oil pipeline project. The five projects would contribute an additional $5.5 million to the RDBN’s general revenue, Berndorff estimated. Last year, the total tax revenue for the RDBN was $7.2 million. “The board would have to decide what to do with that, whether to reduce taxes for everyone else or to spend it on improving services,” Berndorff said. “Whatever is done, it would have to be a board decision every year.” The projections are based on 2012 tax rates. School taxes and other provincial property taxes are not included in the numbers. But added tax money doesn’t necessarily translate into lower tax rates or more amenities for people in the region, cautioned Smithers Mayor and RDBN director Taylor Bachrach. “We need to make sure
we’re looking at the full picture,” Bachrach said. “As several other communities in BC have shown, rapid industrialization rarely increases general affordability, despite increases to the tax base. “This is for a number of reasons including increased housing costs and increased impact on infrastructure.” Because the pipelines do not go through Town of Smithers boundaries, there would not be any direct impact to the town’s tax base. All of the proposed pipelines run through the RDBN and are taxed based on BC Assessment rates, determined by the pipeline classification: production, transmission or distribution. Distribution lines are assessed based upon the cost to build them, while all other pipelines are assessed using rates determined in close consultation with industry stakeholders. As enticing as a neardoubling of the tax base sounds, RDBN chair Bill Miller said it’s highly unlikely all of the projects would receive approval. “Realistically, we’re not going to see all those lines,” Miller said. “All those players realize that there’s not going to be five pipelines. “We may end up with two, or one, or four, but not everybody is going to be there.” The key for the future of the region, Bachrach said, is to find a balance between economic growth

and environmental responsibility, something he feels the town has done pretty well so far. “We’re fortunate to have quite a diverse, resilient economy here in the valley,
it’s not boom and bust,” he said. “We’re in a position to make smart choices based on community values, longterm thinking and good information.” All five pipelines are
in various stages of the approval process. Only Apache Corp. Pacific Trails pipeline has completed all environmental assessments. - With files from Lakes District News.

GTS loses staff and lawyers By Jerome Turner Smithers/Interior News
The Gitxsan Treaty Society has laid-off all seven of their staff and had their legal team Bull, Housser and Tupper LLP file to no longer represent the society. GTS staff, in a letter from chairperson Jim Angus, were formally notified of the change in employment Feb. 7. The reason for the lay-offs, in the letter, is to ensure funding for the current legal battles the GTS is involved with. “We need to stretch our money to the end of the year,” Gordon Sebastian, GTS executive director, said. “Plus it will give people a chance to relax and hopefully end the sore feelings.” Employees are scheduled to be
welcomed back after the fiscal year is over on April 1, Sebastian said. GTS board and Gimlitxwit meetings will still occur as scheduled, Sebastian added. Sebastian noted that 15 Hereditary Chiefs have completely separated from the GTS and are no longer represented by the society. The GTS remains a question mark pending a B.C. Supreme court decision. “Everything’s adjourned until the judge decides on Section 85,” Sebastian said. Section 85 refers to the Societies Act, specifically, in this instance, whether or not the GTS is a legal entity. “As soon as Justice McEwan decides on Section 85, we can plan a course of
action.” Part of Justice McEwan’s previous orders to the GTS was to normalize itself by creating a board and establishing a proper membership. Since a 2010 B.C. Court of Appeals decision only members of a society are able to appoint directors and board members, whereas, it was possible for people outside of a said society to do so previously. “All we have done since Justice McEwan’s orders is to conform with that 2010 decision,” Sebastian said. All of the current court battles the GTS is mired in hang in the balance as Justice McEwan deliberates. Unfortunately that is not where GTS troubles end. The GTS is also in transit where their own legal
representation is concerned. Bull, Housser and Tupper LLC (BHT), a firm that has represented the GTS for nearly four years has also created distance between itself and the GTS. The BHT hearing to remove themselves was on Jan. 31. There was no opposition from any other concerned party regarding the resignation. BHT has been paid over $2 million by the GTS since the 2010 fiscal year began. BHT filed an official affidavit on Jan. 10 in Vancouver to officially part ways with the GTS. The official reasoning behind BHT’s resignation is not part of public record, as per confidentiality rules. The GTS is now represented by Miller, Thomson LLP, a
national business firm. In the meantime the GTS is attempting to do what it was initially created to do, sign a beneficial treaty between the Gitxsan Hereditary Chiefs and the Canadian government. Canada has initiated a new “results-based” treaty negotiation system, but the GTS are steadfast, according to a letter from GTS negotiator Beverley Clifton-Percival. Clifton-Percival’s main concern, stated in the letter, is changes that would stagnate progress already made under the 1995 treaty framework. A final agreement is possible before 2016, the letter states.

Safety starts with a tanker acceptance program that’s as stringent as any in existence — and includes an independent review of all tankers, weeks ahead of their scheduled arrival. Tankers mooring at the terminal will be double-hulled and no more than 20 years old, and will be required — by independent third parties, before they enter Gateway’s shipping channels — to show a sound maintenance and operational history. As they approach Kitimat, all vessels will be boarded and guided by B.C. Coast Pilots with expert knowledge of our coastal waters. Simulations conducted in varying weather conditions have shown that the largest tankers can be safely navigated without the help of tugboats. Still, Gateway is adding a tug-escort system as an additional safety measure. The Douglas Channel is already one of the deepest and widest inland waterways on North America’s west coast, and Gateway’s tug-escort

system, according to risk assessment data, would reduce the already unlikely chance of a grounding incident by a further 80 to 90 per cent. As another Gateway marine safety initiative, we’re introducing landbased radar to B.C.’s North Coast for the first time. This radar system will be bolstered by extra navigational aids such as lights and channel markers. These enhancements aren’t just for Gateway — they are for all vessels on B.C.’s North Coast. Groups who oppose this project use fear tactics. They’d have you believe an oil tanker spill is inevitable. It isn’t. But don’t take my word for it — visit our website and read for yourself about all the work that has gone into making Gateway’s marine operation one of the safest in the world. Then, decide for yourself what’s true.

Canada on the Brink?
T
he press and radio of Canada are filled these days with reports of the growing fear of a devastating recession unless governments, particularly the Federal Government, Business and Labor make a determined effort to curb unrealistic expenditures and demands for higher prices and wages. There are definite signs that the federal government is leading Canada down the rosy path to ruin, such as the fact that Canada’s debt is rising faster than that of the U.S., despite the fact we are not involved in a major war effort. The Union of B.C. Municipalities, in convention at Prince George this week, might well take into consideration urging the federal government to put the brakes on spending in the proverbial “drunk” style.
Ban on Hallowe’en
T
he Union of B.C. Municipalities convening this week in Prince George should take the perhaps drastic, but necessary, steps to ban the ridiculous Hallowe’en observance in this province. The riots which marked the observance of this event last October should be reason enough for this august body to see the handwriting on the wall. It is the last straw which makes such a step the only alternative.
Independent MLAs have a dream I
magine a province where roving gangs of influence-seekers aren’t allowed to join multiple parties, and the rule is actually enforced. One where corporations and unions have to advertise in their own name instead of financing political parties and then disclosing millions in donations months after the election is over. Imagine a province where elections are held based on audited financial statements, not a collection of election promises that will be dismissed as a work of fiction by the new regime if the incumbent party is defeated. A cat joined the
B.C. Liberal Party to support Christy Clark. Adrian Dix won the NDP leadership with the help of bags of $10 bills stapled to new memberships. As parties go to online voting, multiple PIN numbers may be activated from the same phone number or the same address. These and other problems with our party-based political system were highlighted last week in a set of reforms proposed by three independent MLAs, Vicki Huntington, Bob Simpson and John van Dongen. There are some good ideas in the independents’ reform package. One is to give backbench MLAs a meaningful role in

have prevented this error, he said, but it didn’t because it never meets. Party voting irregularities could be addressed by giving Elections BC authority to supervise party leadership votes, the way it does elections and referenda. The independents had high hopes for one fundamental reform, moving B.C.’s set election date from the spring to the fall. This would take a simple amendment. The idea is for the government to table the annual budget, present the audited public accounts for the previous year, then have an election that rests on tested financial statements and initial results for
the current forecast. Both the B.C. Liberal Party and the NDP have expressed support for this idea. The independents suggest the three-week legislative session is a good time to do it, so the next government can implement it. I asked Mike de Jong, the B.C. Liberal finance minister and house leader, if he would consider it. He allowed it is interesting, but it’s not contemplated for the pre-election session that will be dominated by returning the PST and the usual jousting over untested spending and revenue proposals.

Telkwa less than silver Editor: I am writing to provide information regarding your article about Telkwa’s silver medal at the LivCom awards. Neither The InteriorNews article nor Telkwa’s own website gives a complete picture. Telkwa’s website states, “The Village was awarded Silver out of 21 other international projects under the socioeconomic category.” There were 27 finalists in Telkwa’s category. Of these, five were gold medalists, nine received silver, and seven bronze. Telkwa’s performance in other areas in the year 2012
follows. Following a 20 per cent mil rate increase in 2011, the 2012 property tax increase on the average Telkwa home was approximately twice the rate of inflation. The amount spent on legal fees by Aug. 20, 2012 was 182 per cent of the annual budget. In 2012, spending on wages and benefits for village staff increased from 2010 to 2012 by approximately 33 per cent. In 2012, the number of meetings held seeking public input into the new municipal office project was zero. There are holes in the east side of the new office building have been open to mold and vermin infestation for at least six months.

Councillor Fuerst sums things up in this recent exchange with a Telkwa resident: Fuerst: “I think we have made huge strides in where this Village has gone in the last three years.” Resident: “Where has it gone?” Fuerst: “Well we now have money in reserves so we can...” The greatest success of Telkwa Council has been to take residents’ money and put it into a Village bank account, readily
available to spend on a whim without public consultation. Darcy Rypen Telkwa

children in the same sport activities as anyone else, but we still get prejudice attitudes telling me that I should go back to my reserve, where I have never been raised, and told to stay were we belong. I’ve seen a lot of racial outburst come out the last few months against the “Idle No More Movement” but it’s a reminder, that as long as the rivers flow and the grass grows, we will protect the land that we once owned, not just for our ourselves, but for everyone, because fighting for something that has been our culture for many generations before us and have residential school almost completely take that away, isn’t just something small,
it’s in our tradition. So fighting for our rights is not over, it’ll still continue, because culturally we are not the same. Candice Freebird Smithers

The Dze L K’ant Friendship Centre is a community-based organization founded in 1974 by a devoted group of Aboriginals in Smithers, British Columbia. We are one of twenty-five Friendship Centres located across the province committed to building a stronger community. We were initially founded as the Smithers Indian Friendship Centre. As we began to grow into our role of providing programs and services to the community our name was changed to reflect the local Wit’suwet’en culture. The name Dze L K’ant was chosen. It means “Foot of the Mountain” and represents where the centre is now located, at the base of Hudson Bay Mountain. Annette Morgan has been with the centre for twenty years and is the Executive Director and President of the BC Association of Aboriginal Friendship Centres. She takes the same philosophy to her work as she takes in her own life; with words and communication we can get through anything. Annette’s hands on approach to community involvement has led her to accept the Executive Director position at the Dze L K’ant Friendship Centre, in Smithers B.C., in 2001. Annette contributes strategic direction, cultural knowledge and leadership skills to the team. She prides herself on building a team founded on trust, compassion and perseverance. She works hard to create this environment in the office and in the community. Annette says, ‘It is easy to do when you have such a great team and community beside you.’ But promoting and implementing the programs that the Friendship center delivers is no small undertaking. Annette works with many groups, funders and committees to help ensure the community is provided with the right services and the best services. Annette works hard to maintain a healthy balance between her family and work with one goal in mind: ‘I want to create a brighter future for the children living in the community of Smithers – including my own.’
The Dze L K’ant Friendship Centre continues to build on its vision to provide quality services to the community. These services support people on their journey to become more self-sufficient and self-reliant. The Friendship Centre also dedicates time and resources to promoting awareness among Aboriginal people. Cultural pride, cultural identity, and confidentiality are the pillars of our organization. We believe in our community. We can help one another to learn and grow. We believe that developing skills incorporating spiritual, emotional, mental, and physical well-being can help us all to become more self-reliant. We believe we can become a stronger community by improving awareness. We strive to provide an environment where all can belong. Whether you are a youth, elder, adult, or mother-to-be, in need of confidential assistance for major road blocks in your life or are simply looking for ways to improve your life skills - at the friendship center. We are non-judgmental with only acceptance in mind. The Friendship Centre provides and administers a wide variety of programs and services. Their Alcohol and Drug Program offers help to those with drug and alcohol are addictions which require extra support and guidance to overcome. The Dze L K’ant Friendship Centre aspires to help people develop a healthy balance in all areas of their lives. What’s more: Through one on one, group, or family counseling, as well as referrals to treatment, we work closely with the individual or family to assist you on your healing journey – when you are ready. At the Friendship Centre our doors are open: We provide services to inform the community of Smithers about the lasting effects that drugs and alcohol have on the individual and the family. We provide workshops designed for prevention and awareness in the community. We offer
They run an HIV/AIDS Program This disease can affect us all – that’s why British Columbia has adapted a strong vision focused on managing the epidemic. The Dze L K’ant Friendship Centre supports this vision. Our HIV/AIDS program is built on the very foundation that B.C. has been at the forefront of battling the AIDS epidemic in Canada. May we continue to walk together in the humble spirit of healing! We provide services to support the community of Smithers, and inform about the prevention and spread of the HIV\AIDS epidemic. The whole community is invited to participate in our workshops that detail how to prevent contracting HIV. We can provide Five Needle Protocol, a chemical free detox therapy using auricular acupuncture, for those who are serious about quitting risky IV drug use. The protocol assists with withdrawal symptoms such as tremors and high blood pressure. Repeated treatments after the detox stage help to reduce cravings, depression, sleep disturbances and other side effects. We are here to support those who are currently affected by the virus, both those living with the virus or those who are in close relationships with someone who has been infected. They carry on a Mental Health Program. Mental health concerns can range from mood disorders to stress and anxiety, eating disorders, and psychosis. What’s more: “Mental illnesses can take many forms, just as physical illnesses do. Mental illnesses are still feared and misunderstood by many people, but the fear will disappear as people learn more about them. We offer programs designed to reduce stress in the household. These programs include, but are not limited to, understanding the impact of the residential school legacy upon generations of First Nations peoples and everyone to whom they are connected. We provide workshops on family violence, sexual abuse and anger management. We offer culturally relevant activities to reconnect people to the land as they learn about the traditional medicines of their ancestors.
The Multipurpose Aboriginal Youth Centre Program Youth Now, is a free after-school program, open Monday though Friday, for youth ages 15 to 24. It is part of the Urban Multipurpose Aboriginal Youth Centre Program network and operates out of the Dze L K’ant Friendship Centre. What’s more:, the mission of Youth Now is to reconnect urban Aboriginal youth to their culture and traditions. The program promotes leadership, and academic and personal development, by providing access to resources such as the internet, tutors and counseling. We also offer healthy entertainment alternatives by providing access to an Xbox, fooseball table, air hockey table, and a digital projection TV with a 132” screen, as well as outdoor recreational activities such as soccer, baseball and hiking. We provide support, programs and activities for youth to help develop social skills and enhance knowledge that will assist them in their transition to adulthood. We provide resources that all youth and students can access, as well as a variety of activities and a centre where young people are able to develop communication skills and recognition within the community. We have created a supportive and healthy environment to encourage youth to stay in school. We provide a non-judgmental environment for both Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal youth to work together and overcome challenges, improving their economic, social and personal prospects. They also provide a Legal Support Program. Fact: Not everyone is fully aware of their own legal rights, in terms of the workplace, personal safety, discrimination or harassment. Both the Law Foundation of British Columbia and the Dze L K’ant Friendship Centre recognize the importance of legal support programs for the Aboriginal community, and make education about our legal system part of their service offering. It is important to have access to information about our legal system. Understanding your rights and passing on the information to others, such as children, helps to empower and strengthen our community. We offer one-to-one support, workshops and seminars to help educate you about the legal system. We can provide information to help you understand how the court system works. We will help you understand your legal rights. If you require crises intervention, counseling and assistance with
advocating for personal rights, we can provide this to you. We provide information about where support can be accessed in your community. Then there is their Family Support Program. It’s a fact that raising a healthy family, keeping up with the house work, cooking nutritious meals and paying the bills can be challenging for everyone at times. The Dze L K’ant Friendship Centre strives to enhance the quality of life for families living in the community. The centre can provide customized strategies to develop and maintain a healthy balance for your family. We want to start you on a positive path which will help to build a solid foundation for you and your children. We facilitate many workshops, support groups and individual counseling to assist families with issues from cooking quick, healthy meals to parenting styles that will help to instill positive qualities in a child. We also help families reconnect to their cultural activities, reconnect with extended family, and understand the clan systems. We can help you learn more about various government programs such as the Child Tax Benefit, HST, pensions, as well as other financial issues. Did you know that in the community of Smithers, British Columbia, there is an Aboriginal Health Support Worker available to everyone - free of charge?

We run a Community Action Program for Children (CAPC) “At the 1990 United Nations World
Summit for Children, the leaders of 71 countries made a commitment to invest in the well-being of vulnerable children. CAPC is the largest program of this initiative.” What’s more: CAPC is one of three national programs that provide local services to improve the health and development of children; the others are the Canada Prenatal Nutritional Program (CPNP) and Aboriginal Head Start (AHS). These programs are governed by certain guiding principles, focusing on the philosophy of ‘children first’. They are community-based, committed to equity, accessibility, strengthening and supporting families, flexibility, and partnerships. At the Friendship Centre, our doors are open: We provide services, information and support as a host agency for programs serving the communities of Houston, Smithers, Dease Lake, Terrace, Kitimat and Prince Rupert, British Columbia.

We believe it really does take a community to raise a child. Full Circle Support Parenting with FASD. Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder is a broad term that describes a range of disabilities affecting those who were exposed to alcohol while still in the womb. Some of the resulting diagnoses include: Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS), partial Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (pFAS), alcohol-related neurodevelopmental disorder (ARND), and alcohol-related birth defects (ARBD). Children and adults who have FASD may have trouble learning and controlling their behavior. However, people with FASD can still lead
FASD in our community. We also provide around the clock, seven days a week support to those who are currently dealing with the disorder. We will work with you to help develop your pro-active parenting techniques and strategies, including life skills, budgeting, menu and recreation planning, as well as participation and discipline techniques. We offer transportation to and from your necessary appointments. We offer support, seven days a week, to assist parents with issues; verbal assurance by phone and in-person; and we also help with interventions when required. We operate a Pregnancy Outreach Program in Dease Lake. If you are pregnant or have just given birth, you may experience some natural changes to nutrition habits, sleeping patterns, and energy levels. Even though these changes are natural you can still take control by making healthy choices - for you and your baby. We believe that pregnancy and becoming a new mom are times in a woman’s life that can be both challenging and rewarding. That is why we focus our efforts on delivering appropriate services to you and your child. We work closely with other service agencies in the community of Smithers, British Columbia, to ensure that newly pregnant women and new moms can access prenatal and postnatal services. Our Connecting Elders Program seeks to increase recognition of the value of healthy elders in the lives of children, families and communities increase community networks and human connection among elders and urban aboriginal families; and to decrease the level of stress experienced by urban aboriginal families. The intention of this service is to create, develop, and nurture a registry of healthy elders who will be providing home support to families who may be isolated (financially, socially, and /or culturally) and would otherwise have difficulty accessing quality help.

GUM seeks transparency
GUM from A7 Thirty five million dollars would build a lot of houses, send a lot of students to university or provide a lot of health care and extra support to those in need. Unfortunately most of the money never got to the people who need it. Chief Theresa Spence and her Attawapiskat hunger strike have brought a lot of attention to the topic of money management. The Gitxsan Unity Movement (GUM) asks you to read the recent Deloitte and Touche Audit Assessment of the GTS very carefully and draw your own conclusions as to what is going on. You can obtain a copy from any Gimlitxwit member or from GUM, an electronic copy is also available. A careful reading and some spread sheet manipulation of the audit numbers indicate the GTS is spending over 80 per cent of their funding on themselves. More than $350,000.00 was spent on outside consultants some of whom have questionable credentials. Close to half a million dollars was spent on three Gitxsan individuals with no indication of what they did for this money. There have been payments of more than $5 million dollars a year on other suppliers such as lawyers, bookkeepers,

hotels, promotional items, signs and meeting planners. etc. Also, how can three people spend a quarter million dollars a year on travel. At $1000 a day that means these folks are travelling 250 days a year. Draw your own conclusions or ask for an accounting. The goal of GUM is to bring harmony between the Gitxsan government and the values, law, and will of the Gitxsan. Our goal is open, honest, transparent management and communication. We ask you to have a critical look at all the material available and draw your own conclusions Don Camsell Ottawa
Views tainted by Enbridge Editor: Carmen Graf’s guest view, The Interior News, Feb. 6, 2013, is the perfect product of Enbridge’s “education.” If you only go to the open houses where the word “spill” is not even mentioned and if you attend the Community Advisory Boards (CAB) as he did, albeit he had to remove his representation as the Mayor of Telkwa because he hadn’t sought permission of his Council to do so, you successfully become an Enbridge propagandist. Never mind that a spill like
Kalamazoo in July 2010 showed the company in disarray and unprepared when the spill happened, and the US National Transportation Safety Board concluded Enbridge’s Integrity Management Program was inadequate, as was the performance of the control center which had inadequate training and developed a culture of deviance. Never mind that there are still more than 100 acres of submerged tar sand oil at the bottom of the river which the company refuses to clean in spite of an US- EPA order. Never mind the great majority of jobs will be temporary construction jobs and possibly include a significant proportion of foreign temporary workers. Never mind that we, like those living along the Morice/ Bulkley will bear all the risk with no benefit after the pipes are built. Never mind that clean up does not really exist but we’re assured that within 10 days at sea, any oil will disappear from our eyes so we should be satisfied. I suggest Mr. Graf “inform” himself instead of being educated by the big PR Enbridge machine and start with the Kalamazoo incident report finding at: http://www.ntsb. gov/investigations/ summary/PAR1201. 12DWD189 html.

Steelheads take game one from Ice Demons By Ryan Jensen Sports Reporter
Kitimat started stronger but the Smithers Steelheads struck first and never let up on Saturday night to open Round 2 of CIHL playoffs with a 4-1 win. After weathering a more inspired Ice Demon team in the first 10 minutes, Ian Smith scored at 11:04 to slow down the Kitimat advance. “Scoring the first goal is key,” head coach Tom DeVries said. “It kind of silenced the crowd.” “It was fantastic to go into their rink and steal a game from them.” The Steelheads went up by two goals after Ian Smith scored again, this time on a penalty shot. “We had a powerplay and someone threw him a bomb at the other blue line and he had a breakaway and the guy pulled him down from behind,” DeVries said. “It was definitely a penalty shot, I thought.” Mark Arnold added a powerplay goal with five minutes remaining in the second period to increase the lead to three before Kitimat’s Brandon Wakita put one past Wall with about one minute left. In the final frame, Smith sealed Kitimat’s fate with a powerplay goal assisted by Adam DeVries and Daryl Young with just under five minutes remaining. It was Smith’s third of the game and fifth in the last two matches. Special teams may have been the deciding factor in this match as Kitimat failed to score once on any of their 10 powerplay opportunities, while Smithers converted on two of their 10 chances. The Steelheads’ penalty killing and goaltending was excellent, DeVries said, as Wall made a number of standout saves and the Steelheads kept most of the Ice Demons’ chances to the outside. Kitimat outshot Smithers, but the Steelheads led in quality scoring

opportunities. Game 2 in the three-game series is in Smithers, Saturday night. The puck drops at 7:30 p.m. Game 3, if necessary, goes Sunday afternoon. Goaltender Mike Wall said scoring a sweep in the series will come down to who’s more disciplined. “The clinching game is always the hardest to get,” Wall said. “Our rink is a lot smaller so the game will probably
be a lot more physical, not as wide open as it was in Kitimat. “If we stay out of the box and limit their opportunities, we’ll be fine.” Keeping nerves in check with the deciding game on the line at home is another factor, DeVries said. “We just have to stay calm and play our game,” he said. “That’s all.”

Otters show heart in Surrey By Ryan Jensen Smithers/Interior News
Bulkley Valley Otter River Stokes-DeYoung captured five gold medals as the team made a name for itself at the AA Provincials in Surrey Feb. 8, 9 and 10. Stokes-DeYoung won the 200-m freestyle, 400-m medley, 1,500-m freestyle, 400m freestyle and 200-m individual medley at the event. The 11-year-old swimmer also qualified for AAA Provincials with his time in the 1,500-m freestyle. “Another coach said to me that River had a small body but a heart the size of a whale,” head coach Tom Best said. “I think they’re all like that. “It’s one of the hardest working groups I’ve ever had the honour to coach.” Cassie HorningWandler also swam to some amazing results, earning gold in both the 200-m backstroke and 200-m butterfly as well as three silver medals: in the 400-m individual medley, 200-m individual medley and the 100-e backstroke. Horning-Wandler’s
time in the 100-m backstroke was good enough to qualify or the AAA provincials. Nathan Hartnett earned a silver in the 400-m freestyle and a bronze in the 100-m breaststroke. “Nathan has been working on the 100-m breaststroke all year and has become very good at it,” Best said. “He was focused and ready.” Unfortunately, Hartnett missed his AAA qualifying time by less than one second. Also competing were Gabrielle Correia, who placed fifth in the 200-m backstroke and Monika Joseph, who finished eighth in the 400-metre medley and
the 100-m butterfly. Each member of the Otters made at least one final at the event, something Best said he was incredibly proud of. “I’ll admit I had tears in my eyes more than once when I saw how deep they were going into the wells of desire,” he said. “I think that a big part of their success has to be that they are all very hard working young athletes who are unwilling to give less than their best. “They don’t back down and they don’t say can’t. “They always seem to find a way to get it done.” Tanner and Bailey Espersen and Luke

Smithers/Interior News
August 20-24
The Bulkley Valley is rich in recreational opportunities. Now, one of the owners of Dawn 2 Dusk, Damian Kern, is leading the wave of kite skiers and boarders in Smithers bringing one more activity to the sporting landscape. Kite skiing/ boarding is a relatively new development, where the rider is pulled across the snow by a kite. The kites are similar to those used in paragliding but are smaller as they don’t need to provide lift to raise the rider into the air. This winter, Kern and Dawn 2 Dusk have hosted demo days for the sport on Hudson Bay Mountain, on the prairie, near Crater Lake. “The sport is definitely growing rapidly,” Kern said. “It’s awesome, it’s a beautiful place to hang out, for starters.” “It’s a really cool sensation, there’s nothing like it. “Once you try it, you want to do more and more, which definitely instills that drive into you so you want to progress rapidly.” Kern comes from a windsurfing and

sailing background and said he’s always been fascinated by the breeze. “I’m really intrigued by the wind and how it works,” Kern said. “It was a natural progression for me, sport wise. “And the fact that there’s this really cool zone here, it just makes sense.” Kite skiing and boarding is also a fullseason sport, which makes it even more attractive for riders. Using the same kite, bar, lines and harness, it can be done on land and on water.
And it can be done in most conditions, Kern said, as it takes only 15-20 knots for a good session. In addition to skiing and snowboarding gear, a kite and harness are needed. Dawn 2 Dusk has a variety of packages for someone looking to get into the sport. Kern recommends starting out with a trainer kite. Dawn 2 Dusk is holding their next Demo Day on March 16.

Maximum RRSP Contribution Question: What is the maximum contribution allowed as a tax deduction for Registered Retirement Savings Plans? Answer: If you are NOT covered by a pension plan, the deduction limit is the lesser of either $22,970 or 18 percent of your 2011 earned income, plus any RRSP contribution room carried forward from previous years. However, if you’re employed and covered by a pension plan, your maximum RRSP contribution is reduced by the amount of the pension adjustment which appears in Box 52 of your 2012 T-4 slip.

Skiers in midst of busy year Landscaping
& Parking
By Ryan Jensen
Smithers/Interior News
It has been a busy couple of weeks for members of the Bulkley Valley Cross Country Ski Club. On Sunday, the Bulkley Valley Nordic Centre played host to racers from Houston and Smithers for the Chris Dahlie Open under a beautiful sunny sky. Bulkley Valley skiers took the top spot in every category except the Masters Men 7.5 km Free event, won by Morice Mountain’s Greg Yeomans. “For the kids targeting Nationals it was a really good training race,” said head coach Chris Werrell. “It was a really good day for everyone else, too.” Gabriel Price counted the fastest time of the day at the event. The week prior, Bulkley Valley Cross Country Ski Club members Travis Pete and Gabriel Price won aggregate awards at the Teck BC Cup Championships at Otway Nordic Ski Centre in Prince George Feb. 2. The aggregate awards take into account all the skier’s results throughout the five Teck BC Cup events this season. Price won the Junior Boys 7.5 km Classic event and Pete placed second in the Midget Boys 2.5 km Classic category. Other first-place finishers for the ski club were Kathleen Woods in the Junior Girls 7.5 km Classic, Karl Elisson in the

Variety lends a helping hand Festival of By Percy N. Hébert Smithers/Interior News
T
he 47th annual Show of Hearts Telethon, set for Feb. 16 and 17, is much more than a telethon for some residents of the Bulkley Valley. Money raised during the telethon has made its way to Smithers and Telkwa and the Wacholtz family is very grateful. “Without Variety we would definitely have been hooped,” Michelle Wacholtz said. Braxton, 13, son of Michelle and Gregory Wacholtz has a condition called Arnold-Chiari malformation, a deformation of the brain which can disrupt the flow of cerebrospinal fluid. Symptoms of ACM range from headaches, fatigue and muscle weakness in the head and face, to nausea, impaired coordination and in severe cases, paralysis. In Braxton’s case, the condition wasn’t detected until he was 10 years-old. “He just had a seizure out of the blue,” Michelle said during an interview, the day before she and
Braxton made their 18th trip to Vancouver for doctor’s appointments. “Six days later he had another seizure. A CT scan revealed a benign tumour at the base of Braxton’s brain. Michelle and Braxton travelled to the B.C. Children’s hospital in April 2010, with the cost of travel and accommodation covered by Variety. The tumour was removed, but an MRI revealed the Arnold-Chiari malformation. They stayed until June. In April of 2011, to try and alleviate the symptoms associated with the ArnoldChiari malformation, Braxton underwent a fourhour operation where surgeons at B.C.
Children’s Hospital cauterized the parts of the brain growing into his spinal column and chipped some bone away to relieve the compression. Nonetheless, Braxton and Michelle make several trips a year to the Children’s Hospital. Because of the type of tumour, Braxton and Michelle have made regular trips back to Vancouver for follow up and will continue to do so until 2015. “It was hard at first,” Braxton said of the frequent trips to Vancouver. “I missed classes and missed my friends.” On the positive side, the surgeries have paid off as Braxton has been cancer free for close to three years and symptoms associated with the
Arnold-Chiari malformation have disappeared. “I’m feeling good,” Braxton said. Variety continues to cover groceries for Michelle and Braxton who can be in Vancouver for up to three weeks at a time. “We’re proud supporters of the Variety Club,” Michelle said. “We’re proud supporters of the Starlight Children’s Foundation and Ronald McDonald House.” For Variety, the Show Of Hearts Telethon is its main fundraising event. “All of the money raised in B.C. stays in B.C. and goes to families and organizations who need our help,” Bernice Scholten, Variety’s Executive Director said. “Every year more families turn to Variety for help. “The more money that is raised, the more that need is met, children who have special needs are given the opportunity to walk, speak, hear, and learn – for the first time in their lives.”
Braxton, 13, has made 18 trips to B.C. Children’s Hospital with his mom Michelle since April 2010.
Nations bridges divide
By Percy N. Hébert Smithers/Interior News
The seventh edition of the Festival of Nations is underway, Feb. 12 - 16. “The Bridging Committee’s mandate is to create cross-cultural understanding and education through events such as the Festival of Nations,” Birdy Markert, committee cochair said. Formed in 2002, the Bridging Committee includes various community organizations, all concerned with racism, domestic abuse, child and family development and other issues. By hosting events in Smithers and Moricetown, Markert said the committee hopes to encourage residents from the community to participate and learn about other cultures. The Festival of Nations kicked off Tuesday, Feb. 12, with two events, beginning with the Taste of Nations which featured ethnic foods at several restaurants in Smithers, the Capri Family Restaurant, the Twin Valley Inn, the Steakhouse on Main, Two Sisters, The Grendel Group and Daddios. Also beginning on Tuesday, the Northwest Community College hosts a cultural exhibit, From Time Immemorial: A celebration of Wit’suwet’en history. Wednesday, Feb. 13, sees the popular Wit’suwet’en feast at the Moricetown Multiplex. The fest runs from 4 - 8 p.m. Last year’s feast drew about 400 visitors. In conjunction with the Festival of Nations, the Town of Smithers hosts the Spirit of the Mountain Festival, Feb. 12 - 16. The Bridging Committee is offering a free shuttle service between Moricetown and Smithers on Feb. 12, 13 and 16.

Valentine’s Day a big money affair
V
alentine’s Day has many mysteries surrounding its beginning. One belief in Europe is that February 14 was the beginning of birds’ mating season, adding to the idea that the middle of February should be a day for romance. Today an estimated 1 billion Valentine’s Day cards are sent each year, the secondlargest card-sending holiday following Christmas at an estimated 2.6 billion. Women purchase approximately 85 per cent of valentines. Happy birthday to Russel Borrett, 12 years-old. At Safeway one of the checkout ladies beamed telling me she and her husband are taking all the family to Maui to celebrate their anniversary. Toby and Andre Coupe are celebrating their 35th anniversary. You two have the dance of life down to a beautiful, loving waltz. At the hospital, waiting my turn for a blood test, I chatted with a young woman who decided to come as the next day was her birthday, didn’t want to have a blood test on her birthday, she had better things to do. Speaking of birthdays and anniversaries the book The Feminine Mystique by Betty Friedan will celebrate its 50th year since first published.

book that had a huge impact on being a woman. Wouldn’t hurt to read it again. I’m presently reading The Fountain of Age by the same author, published in 1993, still relevant today. Direct quote from the first page, she writes about research she did, “Despite continued reports of advances in our life expectancy, there was a curious absence-in effect, a blackout-of images of people over sixty-five, especially older women, doing, or even selling, anything at all in the
mass media.” Further down, same paragraph, “Seemed to be a growing impatience for some final solution to that problembefore the multiplying numbers of invisible, unproductive, dependent older people, unfortunately living beyond sixtyfive, placed an “intolerable burden” on their families and society with their senility, chronic illnesses, Medicare, Meals on Wheels, and nursing homes.” This is on the first page, the first paragraph. The chapter is titled, Denial and the “Problem” of Age. Today’s fancy word: ageism. I shouldn’t be reading this book as it just reinforces, reinvigorates my will
to prove them all wrong. I shall not go down easy! Gardening fever has hit me hard, the weather has been so mild, I am getting out my gardening tools. Search, gardening, black thumb, scroll down to one that says 17 plants to grow from kitchen scraps. You can grow onions, lemon grass, pineapple, garlic, potatoes, lettuce, celery, even sweet potatoes. I am going to give it a try.

Super Bowl ads agitating
I
seem to have been agitated for days. What caused that you ask? First it was all the carry on about the Super Bowl. What is the deal with those ads that some company will pay $4 million for a 30 second spot? Doesn’t anyone feel just a bit manipulated? I have to admit I didn’t see the ads. I actually don’t see many ads because of the negative feeling they give me. I did by some mistake see one the other day. It was a family going to visit grandma and everyone was told to be careful with the old girl. That is until the door opened and this goofy old broad wanted to play hide and go seek. Do grandmothers really act like that? Not in my day.
Spice of Life Brenda Mallory I have to admit there’s one ad I thought was cute. Two little fellows sharing some Oreo cookies. One child was new to the neighborhood and didn’t speak English, but the children understood each other perfectly. Wouldn’t it be nice if the world was like that? Next on my list of aggravations was something I heard when while doing my morning chores, a TV show instructing
parents on how to get a child not to be a finicky eater. Am I missing something, again? The food thing was loaded with ideas to introduce new food to the picky eater. Now tell me if you can what was wrong with the way my mother made us eat certain foods, the old eat it or else idea. Mind you many of you like me had parents that came through a couple wars and a depression. We ate what was placed in front of us, period. I have to tell you I feel so much better now. Good thing an old fuddy duddy like me can get rid of my frustration by telling all of you about it. Thanks for listening . Do feel free to call me at 250-846-5095. An e-mail sent to mallory@bulkley.net is a good idea.

Minding Your Money
How to use your tax refund Congratulations on your tax refund. Now that you’ve got it, what should you do with it? You could spend it or you could use it in other ways that will be more beneficial to your longer term financial future. Let’s look at a few good alternatives. • Use it to make your 2012 RRSP contribution right now and you’ll get the benefit of nearly an extra year of potential long-term tax-deferred growth and a tax deduction against next year’s taxes. • Put it in a TFSA. You are allowed to save up to $5,000 a year in a Tax-Free Savings Account (TFSA). Your contributions are not tax-deductible but you will not be taxed on the investment income generated by your TFSA and you can re-contribute any of your tax-free withdrawals in a future year. • Invest it. If your RRSP eligible investments and TFSA are topped up, consider adding to your nonregistered investments. It’s a sound strategy to hold stocks and equity mutual funds outside RRSP eligible investments or a TFSA because these types of investments are taxed at a more favorable capital gains inclusion rate and Canadian investments qualify for the dividend tax credit. • Set up Registered Education Savings Plans (RESPs) to fund future education costs for your kids. RESP contributions are not tax-deductible but their growth is tax-deferred and they qualify for Canada Education Savings Grants (CESG)1 of up to 20 percent of your contribution. • Pay down costly credit debt with high interest rates and then pay down non-deductible debt such as your mortgage – a single prepayment could potentially save hundreds or thousands of dollars in interest payments. • Got a large refund? Consider parking that cash in a short-term investment that you can access without penalty. You’ll have a ready source of money for a rainy day or maybe a new car without having to borrow or use your credit card. (You can also use a TFSA as a rainy day fund.) A tax refund might put a little extra money in your pocket once a year. A comprehensive tax-reducing financial plan definitely puts you on track to achieve your life goals. Talk to your professional advisor about how to make it work for you. CESG is provided by the Government of Canada This column, written and published by Investors Group

Guillon takes step back from biathlon By Ryan Jensen Smithers/Interior News
It’s safe to say the Bulkley Valley Biathlon Club would not exist in its current form without Frank Guillon. He was launched to the head of the club almost by default but wound up fostering the development of numerous national-class athletes and brought the club to its current state of robust health. “He was the one that held it together and kept it going for quite a few years when it was small,” Bulkley Valley Cross Country Ski Club board chair Jill O’Neill said. “By himself, basically. “But over the last few years registration has been on a steady upswing. Now it’s first come, first served because we have a limited number of targets and rifles. “It’s very popular right now.” Guillon moved to Smithers in 1974 and married a local girl the following year. In 1984, he moved to Vanderhoof where he became involved in the cross country ski club. Guillon taught the Jackrabbits program there. He also became friends with the Collard family through the association with the ski club. During this period, Michelle “Tuppy” Collard began competing in biathlon. Tuppy eventually went on to compete for Canada in biathlon at the

Nagano Olympics. This was Guillon’s introduction to biathlon. In 1991, Guillon returned to Smithers and became involved in the Bulkley Valley Cross-Country Ski Club (The biathlon club is a part of the Bulkley Valley Cross Country Ski Club) after his son started taking part in the sport. When Smithers was
chosen to host the BC Winter Games in 1994, there became a need to build a biathlon range. Everyone looked to Guillon. “I knew a bit about biathlon,” Guillon shrugged. That first year, Guillon helped a group of really strong cross-country skiers turn into biathletes. The club had impressive results from the very beginning as

one athlete qualified for the Canada Winter Games the first year. “For the tiny club we had, there were a lot of kids that went to the Nationals during that period,” O’Neill said. Once his son stopped competing in the sport, Guillon stuck around and continued to volunteer. For him, it was all about seeing the kids advance and
develop as they learned the sport. And the camaraderie shared, not only in the local club, but in the sport at large. “I really enjoyed the coaching,” he said. “When they knock down their first target, it’s very exciting.” Over the years, Guillon has worn many hats: chauffeur, head coach, range safety officer, mentor and
friend. Peter Tweedie is currently the head coach of the Biathlon Club and said Guillon’s assistance has helped him develop as a coach as well. “I’m glad I had the opportunity to start in biathlon when Frank was still involved,” Tweedie said. “He’s very keen on sportsmanship and fair, equal and consistent application of the rules to everyone. “He’s quick to jump in and get involved and never shy to provide an opinion or solution. “I’ve learned a lot from him and we miss having him around.” Earlier this year, the Bulkley Valley Cross Country Ski Club unveiled their newest building at the biathlon range, the Frank Guillon Cabin. “I’m not sure [how it feels] yet,” Guillon said. “It’s a huge honour but there were so many people over the years that helped out. “The assistance from the parents has been unreal, they come up and stay and do whatever needs to be done. “It’s been really easy because of that.” After more than 20 years of involvement with the Bulkley Valley Cross Country Ski Club, Guillon is finally taking a step back. He’ll still help out occasionally, he said, but more often than not, he’ll be at his cabin on Babine Lake.

said.” Women get hopeful and have all these romantic ideas that don’t come into reality.” Because of these romantic ideas, men, and even women, feel pressured on Valentine’s Day and so I’m sure they lose many of the tender feelings it’s supposed to bring. This is also a problem for teens in relationships too. “I feel like I have to leave that day open in case he wants to hang out”, Tasha Mitchell, Grade 11 student said. In high school, Valentine’s Day brings a lot of awkwardness out in the halls, be it because of newly made couples, recently turned down teens or overt public displays of affection. Generally, young couples don’t seem to know what they should

do about it. These couples, though not entirely happy, are still the lucky ones; those that are single are often pestered about their relationship status. Even teens get this, which is odd seeing as it seems to be the public’s general opinion that we know nothing about real love. All that teens supposedly know about is hormonefueled infatuation.
This is probably one of the reasons SSS holds ‘Red Ribbon Day’ on Valentines; a day where girls can’t talk to guys without losing their ribbon, effectively discouraging inter-gender conversation. I would just like to point out that, no matter what stage of life you’re at, the feeling of love is generated by hormones. And like people of all ages, lonely teens
want to find someone to spend Valentine’s day with. Around this time, there are probably millions of Facebook posts about Valentine’s Day, about half of them on my newsfeed. After a few days of “Valentine’s Day is soon… If anyone’s in love with me, now would be a good time to tell me know ;)” I, along with many others, tend to avoid my newsfeed.

Solving bullying is our responsibility By: Cianna Pawluk Smithers Secondary
In light of recent events, several students and adults are questioning the way in which Smithers secondary school deals with bullying. Throughout my time at SSS, I have sat through a plethora of presentations outlining the ways in which we can all help put a stop to bullying. We have been given large quantities of online and in school resources for dealing with it. One thing that has constantly been stressed is that we must not be bystanders and we should always stand against the wrong doing we see around us. Nevertheless, in one situation, school authorities have actually put a damper on this. During a lunch hour a few weeks back, a student was being picked on and harassed. Another student nearby interjected, telling the bully to “layoff.” Apparently he was then attacked by the bully and reacted with what has been described as self-defence. Both students were given detention, the bully for five days and the other student for four days. Under the SSS code of conduct, both violence and bullying fall into the category of severe infractions. It’s understood the student’s form of self-defence can only be described as violence, but it seems to me and others that the fact that he stood up to the bullying wasn’t even taken into account. His sister tells me school authorities informed him he shouldn’t have approached the bully at all and that by telling the other student to lay off he helped provoke and escalate the violence. The right thing to do he was told, was to turn his back and go straight to a teacher who would deal with it. However, most students at SSS agree going to a teacher can be difficult and may not attain the best results. Twelfth-grade student Emily Clougher sums this up perfectly. “I don’t think that the school authorities realize that going to a teacher rarely makes it better, long term, it often makes things worse,” Clougher said. “Because once you go to a teacher, not only are you a victim in the bully’s eyes, you’re a victim who snitches so to speak, someone who could possibly have the power to bring about a consequence, and the bullying behaviour not only becomes worse, it often becomes more subtle, and harder to pin down and correct.” Grade 11 student Rebecca Lowe

agreed “People don’t like to talk about bullying, lots of times when you tell someone the bullying only The way SSS handles increases,” bullying keeps some Lowe said. students in the Violence shadows. is never the Cianna Pawluk Photo answer, but shouldn’t it be considered valiant that this student was able to stand up against bullying, even if it wasn’t the preferred method? Over the last few weeks I have been aware of a number of people expressing their distaste in how bullying is dealt with at SSS. However, I believe school authorities are doing just fine in most cases. “I don’t know how they’d effectively deal with it, bullying is always going to be there on every level of life,” Kaydee Hayward says. Yes I do think the student in this situation deserved a pat on the back for standing up to bullying, but it is my belief that SSS does do their best to eliminate bullying behaviour and they must stick to their zero tolerance towards violence also. So to sum it up, it’s the students responsibility to keep our school safe. If more of us were willing to say something and to let others know what is right, we could drastically decrease bullying behaviours. It’s like William Golding, author of The Lord of the Flies, a book we will probably all have to read in high school, tries to show. The only way society evolves depends entirely on the ethical nature of each individual, not on the political system upon which society is based.
Many people believe the biggest oxymoron of the 21st century is “Internet safety” and while this can most definitely be accurate in some situations, the Internet is also one of the greatest resources when used properly. Now, I won’t deny that you can find yourself in big trouble very quickly if you start haphazardly spreading your personal information all over the place, but most teenagers have the capacity to recognize that this is a really stupid idea. We’ve all been read the riot act about not giving away our mailing address to people we’ve never looked in the eye, we know what’s at stake. Parents are often blinded by this fear of strangers and lack of knowledge, maybe not realizing that there’s an incredibly large network of people out there that their teen can rely on when they feel alone. The internet is probably one of the best places to find help for your problems, but you must be smart about it. Many teens find solace in the people they have found there when the people in their lives have felt inadequate for helping them. Don’t get me wrong, there is no substitute for real-life friends, but sometimes it feels like there’s something missing. People always have holes in what they can do for you and sometimes they can shroud over your problems and emotions. One of the neat things about social networking sites is that there is virtually always someone who knows how to or is dealing with the same thing that you are, and often they’re willing to help you, or even just actually talk to you about it. There are also places to search up that weird thing that’s happening to your body that you’re not sure won’t eventually sprout into a vestigial tail, turn out to be leukaemia or something equally as scary but you don’t feel comfortable telling anyone about. Even if you aren’t trying to figure yourself out, these social networks, like Twitter, Tumblr, and MySpace, are full of people willing to listen to you vent about school, family, friends or anything else that could possibly ruffle your
feathers. There are people whose blogs revolve entirely around giving advice, talking people down from terrifying precipices or offering virtual shoulders to cry on in the absence of real ones. People can and have become very close friends over the internet; people who may never have met or helped each other were introduced through a common need in a common place. People who live in different hemispheres have literally saved each other’s lives. The dictionary definition of a friend has nothing to do with the distance between people, it only speaks of a mutual caring, and that is what many people have found online. The fact that you’ve maybe never seen the person face-to-face does not make them any less of a friend. It’s also one of the best places to get away from the ridiculousness that is high school. Between exams, tests, homework, teachers and all the unwanted extra people, things can get a bit tense. It’s a great place to watch dumb things that slap a smile on your face and for a moment or two, just to give you some time when all the junk of life is not at the forefront of your mind. It may not help the problem itself, cat videos cannot do your homework, but they can help restore what cognitive function was sapped by the horrible bus ride home. You can definitely get yourself tangled up in some particularly nasty things if you aren’t careful online. Because although there is good, it is often mixed in with the bad. The internet is just like the world, if you only ever skirt around it for fear of what people have told you, you’ll miss out on a lot, but one must still tread carefully, lest these stories come true. “The internet isn’t bad, as long as it isn’t misused. If you plan on meeting someone make sure that you’re not alone, and that the person is in fact who they say they are” says Mardy Bussiere, a Grade 11 student at Smithers secondary. “I think it’s fine, it’s just that they need to know the consequences of what may happen” said another student.

Blue Warblers headed for Smithers By Percy N. Hébert Smithers/Interior News
Natalie Edelson and Kim Beggs, otherwise known as The Blue Warblers, are only a year into their musical relationship as a duo, but are happy to be on the road to share the music they love. The Blue Warblers hit the stage at the Old Church, Monday, Feb. 18 at 7:30 p.m. The duo are touring in support of their first CD, Pretty Good, featuring a couple of songs written by Edelson and a handful by Beggs. Although the pair first met in 1991, both regulars at campfire singalongs around Whitehorse, Yukon, it wasn’t until several years later the two women sat down with a single purpose. “It was really organic, the way we first found ourselves musically and then found each other,” Edelson said from a train bound for Edmonton. “It just gradually grew to writing songs. With confidence gained around the campfire, both Edelson and Beggs forged solo careers. But Edelson admits she wasn’t comfortable with the experience. Getting gigs, promoting herself and her album in the Yukon and beyond often left Edelson feeling out of tune. “It wasn’t the right fit for me,” she said. “I wanted to be at home at the cabin playing music. “It felt lonely. “At a certain point, at least for me, the promotion part felt like, ‘Oh I have to try and get people to like me.’ “The promotion part was hard.”

Beggs eventually asked Edelson to join her on stage for a tour, where Edelson sang harmony and played an array of instruments. It was a trip to England, in 2008 to sing in Trafalgar Square on Canada Day, that helped galvanize their partnership, Edelson said. Edelson started opening for Beggs, then staying on stage as part of Beggs’ band. “It sort of grew out of that.” Being part of a duo, Edelson said, changes the experience. One key difference, Edelson explained, is having a name, The Blue Warblers, gives her a bit of an arm’s length relationship to the experience. “There’s a definite difference between being a solo artist and being part

of a duo, she said. “It makes the whole process a joy.” Any musician will admit being on tour has its drawbacks and surprises. “Surprises are the best part, but also the worst part,” Edelson said with a laugh.

VOH hears pipeline concerns By Jerome Turner Hazelton/Interior News
The Village of Hazelton council met last week and heard two delegations, one from concerned community members and one to explain a bioheat business opportunity. First up was a presentation by Kispiox Valley residents Graeme Pole and Carole Ponchet about their concern regarding the number of pipelines being proposed through northern B.C., and the seven liquid natural gas conversion plants needed to condense raw natural gas for transportation. Three of the plants are proposed for the Kitimat area, two in the Prince Rupert area and one is as yet without a specified location. Pole raised one evident point of contention. “BC Hydro has already
stated that there is no way they can provide enough electricity to power the LNG plants,” Pole said. He also questions the exact economic benefit for the Hazelton area if the pipelines were to be built. “When you do talk to Spectra ask them exactly how many jobs will be available for people here,” Pole pleaded. “Are we just going to ship everything we have away and be left with an empty bag in 20 years?” Ponchet noted local rivers and inherent food supply is a resource that shouldn’t be put in jeopardy. “A lot of people here live off the fish in the river and we can’t be playing with that,” Ponchet said. “This area is too special to risk losing for a bit of money.” Mayor Alice Maitland responded. “I think you’re preaching to
the choir,” Maitland said. Some councillors disagreed. “Whose choir?” Nick Marshall said. “This seems to be people that are looking for work against people that don’t want to work.” Maitland assured all in the room any decision regarding pipeline development would happen only after all the facts were heard. “We aren’t saying no to every proposed project,” Maitland said. “But we can say they have to be done a certain way. “Lets remember that we’re just about the last wilderness in North America and we’re valuable just as we are.” Ponchet urged council to visit Pole’s website dedicated to providing information on all proposed pipelines in northwestern B.C. titled nomorepipelines.ca.

T HREE R IVERS R EPORT Bioheat plan shown to VOH VOH from p. B1 Rick Connors, Gitxsan Development Corporation CEO, then presented a potential bioenergy plant that would be located near Wrinch Memorial Hospital. The purpose of the presentation was to attain a letter of support from council. The Evergreen BioHeat plant would be able to heat homes in Hazelton for a fraction of the cost of current BC Hydro or pellet stove costs. “The technology is not
new,” Connors said, pointing to several large cities in Europe that use bioheat, but there is also more local useage. “We just did the ice arena in Burns Lake.” “We’re looking to expand the system to the residential community as well.” To complete the infrastructure in Hazelton a web of pipes would have to be laid through the town to all main amenities, such as, the schools and the hospital. A feasibility study must be completed to determine the
total cost of the project. Council was undecided as to whether or not to support a feasibility study of the bioheat plant. Jack Mattson was awarded the contract to reinforce the dike on the Skeena River next to Old Hazelton. Mayor Maitland was nominated to become a member of the Aboriginal Community Consultative Group, a group that would work with local RCMP to engage the aboriginal community .

Application No: PE-1505
ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION NOTICE Application for Permit Amendments under the Provisions of the Environmental Management Act. We, Maclaren Forest Products Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Xstrata Copper Canada Corporation (“Xstrata”), PO Box 10424, Pacific Centre, 1300-777 Dunsmuir Street, Vancouver, B.C. V7Y 1K2, has submitted permit amendment applications requesting authorizations to construct and operate a water treatment facility and related components in order to safely discharge treated water from the Bell mine site. The Bell mine site is a decommissioned open pit copper mine located in north-central British Columbia on Newman Peninsula in Babine Lake, approximately 12 km north of the Village of Granisle, Range 5 Coast District and within the Skeena River Watershed. Xstrata has effectively managed reclamation activities at the Bell mine site according to the 1992 Closure Plan accepted by the province of BC. Since closure and as per the plan, the Bell pit has been used to safely store water from site collection ponds and runoff from mine related facilities. The water elevation in the pit has been measured annually since closure to monitor the filling rate. It is expected that the pit will reach its upper operating level in 2018. Xstrata’s application to the British Columbia Ministry of Energy, Mines and Natural Gas (BC MEMNG) and Ministry of Environment (MOE) proposes to amend the existing permits for the Bell Mine – Mines Act Reclamation Permit M-35, issued on 4 October 1991, last amended on 16 February 1993, and Environment Management Act Permit PE-1505, issued on 21 April 1972, last amended on 25 May 2012. The amendments are for the construction of a water treatment plant to treat and discharge water to Babine Lake.

Xstrata proposes construct a new state of the art water treatment facility on the Bell mine site utilizing the High Density Solids (HDS) process technology to treat the pit water.

T HREE R IVERS R EPORT Documentary draws concerned crowd By Jerome Turner Smithers/Interior News
Last Thursday, Two Sisters restaurant hosted a preview of the documentary movie Fractured Land for an audience of just under 20 people. Local residents watched the movie and were asked to offer any comments or voice questions and concerns they had following the preview. Freda Huson and Warner William (Toghestiy), who live in a cabin on Unist’ot’en territory in the path of the proposed Pacific Trails pipeline, were in attendance. Following the movie, Toghestiy was quick to point to the reason he and Huson made the trip from their cabin to support the preview of the documentary.
“We’re here as part of the same movement,” Toghestiy said. “We want to let the people know there’s worldwide support for this environmental movement, but locally there really isn’t much momentum or awareness of our motivation to live out on the land.” Educating the general population and raising awareness about the potential damage to the ecosystem is the reason the Unist’ot’en live on the proposed pipeline route, Toghestiy said. “You can’t eat money,” Huson said, about those who support, what she thinks is, unsound resource extraction. Huson and Toghestiy fully support Fractured Land, especially the data presented in the movie about the

alleged dangers of hydro-fracturing and proposed massive hydro-power projects like Site C, a third dam on the Peace River in northwestern B.C. “A huge misunderstanding is the term ‘natural gas’ itself,” Toghestiy said. “The process is the
furthest thing from natural anything could get.” The documentary follows the main character, Caleb, a member of a Dene nation in northeastern B.C., on a journey through the territory coveted by industry for pipeline development.
Caleb is well on his way to becoming a lawyer and has made his career choice to stand in opposition to, what he sees as, further environmental damage being done to B.C. For more on the film, set for release in 2014, visit fracturedland.com.

Spartans prep for zones By Jerome Turner Hazelton/Interior News
The Hazelton secondary school senior boys’ basketball team went 0-2 in a Houston play-day last Saturday, but Coach Tamara Stoney said her team is improving every game. Defence was the main obstacle in the morning game against Houston. “I think I was asking a bit too much of them,” Stoney said. “We ran a different defence than we have all year this morning.” Colton Murrel led the Hazelton Spartans with 15 points, 8 rebounds and 3 blocks, but the team ended up losing 56-36 to the hosts. The afternoon game looked to bring more of the same for the Spartans. Smithers jumped out to a 10-2 lead in the first quarter. Stoney urged her team from the sidelines to remember their defensive positioning and they responded by clamping down. The Spartans went on a 8-0 run pressuring Smithers players and stealing their errant passes. However, Smithers scored late to take a 12-10 lead as the first quarter ended. The Spartans increased the defensive intensity and
were up 16-15 midway through the second. Smithers took advantage of a few missed assignments by the Spartans and ended the quarter on a 6-2 run to go into halftime up 21-18. Coach Stoney was pleased with the effort and asked for more of the same. “Keep your feet moving on defence,” she instructed her team at the half. “And don’t be afraid to box out.” The beginning of the third saw both teams hit the floor with little enthusiasm and missing shots. Eventually, Hazelton tied the game with free throws with three minutes left in the quarter. Brendan Wilson and Ryan Wright combined for a smooth give-and-go, which Wilson finished, to put the Spartans up 25-24. Smithers began to pull away as the Spartans’ defence became lax and Smithers continued to dominate the glass when it mattered. Smithers finished the quarter on an 8-3 run to take a 32-27 lead heading into the final frame. Wilson brought the Spartans as close as they would get with a three-point basket to close the gap to 38-35. The final score was 44-37 for Smithers. Coach Stoney said

ourselves,” he said. “They won’t change their minds after the fact.” The Kispiox men lost their first game 75-60 against New Aiyansh. Starting point guard Jesse Olson said his team just couldn’t hold onto the ball when it mattered. “We had some turnovers that gave them some easy baskets,” Olson said. The Kispiox men faced Terrace on Feb. 11 at 8 p.m. See ANT on p. B15

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.

Hudson Bay Mountain’s
Pass Holder Appreciation Day!
Gitanyow falls to Vancity ANT from p. B9 The Kispiox women were set to face Vancouver at 8 a.m. last Monday. The women’s team is very accustomed to playing together and have the boost of a returning player who had medical complications last year and couldn’t play. “I’m just lucky to be here,” Tamara Stoney, who also coaches at Hazelton secondary, said. The men’s team from Gitanyow also faced a team from Vancouver in their first game and lost 82-41. Isaac Rush, first-year coach, was very proud of his team

being in the tournament. The last time players from Gitanyow were in the All Native tournament was more than 40 years ago. “We have a good team this year,” Rush said, but he also knows they lack experience. “Being our first year we just want to build up our players so they know what to expect in years to come.” Lastly, the intermediate team from Gitanmaax faced Skidegate in their first game on Monday. Skidegate is usually playing late in to the week in all divisions. Gitanmaax is coached by

Marty Smith, a former player in the tournament. Marty’s son Travis leads the team and is confident heading into the tournament. “I think we’ll win,” Travis said, when asked about how his team will fare against Skidegate. “It all depends on how quick we come out.” The All Native Basketball Tournament goes from Feb. 10 to Feb. 16. Most games are at the Jim Ciccone Civic Centre, but there are also games at Charles Hays secondary school as well. For more information on the tournament visit anbt.ca.
