Crown counsel has dropped the charge of obstructing a police officer against Lena Wilson. The charge was laid following Wilson’s arrest by Constable Kevin Mack, New Hazelton RCMP, during Thanksgiving weekend 2012. Wilson, who is attending the social worker program at Northwest Community College in Terrace, is still pursuing charges against Const. Mack. Early Oct. 7, 2012, Wilson was walking home with a classmate from a wedding dance at Gitanmaax Hall, near Old Hazelton, when she was allegedly abruptly thrown to the ground by Const. Mack
without warning. Wilson was subsequently charged with obstruction of a police officer for allegedly struggling during the arrest, during which Mack allegedly struck Wilson while she was pinned face down resulting in one of Wilson’s teeth being broken after making contact with the asphalt road. “I’m relieved the charges have been dropped,” Wilson said, explaining a criminal record would have prevented her from pursuing a career as a social worker. “But I still feel violated and want to seek justice for what happened to me.” For Wilson, justice would be a finding of guilt on the charge of excessive use of force and unlawful arrest against Const. Mack. Crown counsel, Brett
Weber shed light on the reason Wilson is no longer facing a criminal charge. “Since the initial charge assessment we received additional information from the ongoing investigation,” Weber said. “We concluded there was no substantial likelihood of conviction based on recently gathered witness statements and evidence.” Now, two barriers prevent Wilson from pressing charges against the RCMP officer. First, the New Hazelton RCMP detachment did not request the involvement of the Independent Investigation Office of B.C. (IIO), a civilianled organization mandated to investigate police-involved incidents where death or harm occurred. See WILSON on p. A4

Poachers and dogs hound wildlife
By Percy N. Hébert
that if a dog chases a deer on your property it’s OK,” Nixon explained. “But it’s not.” Conservation officers prefer to use education to solve the problem, in some cases that education can come in the form of a $230 ticket, Nixon said. The worst case scenario, is to put the dog(s) down, Nixon added. As if being chased by dogs wasn’t enough, local wildlife are always the target of poachers. In fact, conservation officers are seeking the public’s assistance in solving the most recent case of poaching. On Feb. 28 at about 8 a.m., a female moose was shot and left on the side of Telkwa High Road, approximately 3.5 kilometres northwest of the junction with Snake Road. “The pregnant cow moose was not removed from the kill site and was left to waste,” Knibbs said.
Smithers/Interior News
It’s that time of year, unfortunately, for wildlife. With the snow depth melting away, Sgt Kevin Nixon of the Conservation Officer Service said, dogs are having an easier time of getting around to chase wildlife, especially deer. As with previous years, conservation officers are seeing an increase in the number of incidents of dogs chasing and in some cases attacking wildlife. Nixon recalled an incident last year where a group of dogs tracked down a deer. “They literally shredded the deer, but left it alive,” he said. The onus to prevent dogs from chasing wildlife is on dog owners, Nixon said. This extends to potential interactions on a dog owner’s property. “There’s a misconception
The local Conservation Officer Service is seeking the public’s assistance in finding the person(s) responsible for killing this female moose on Telkwa High Road.

New arena debate not over yet
By Ryan Jensen Smithers/Interior News
The second sheet of ice project was the focus of the Town of Smithers Let’s Talk forum March 19. The meeting gave council an opportunity to explain what has been done to this point and what steps are required to move forward with the initiative, Mayor Taylor Bachrach said. At this time, a design-build tender has been advertised, with bids to be opened March 28. The tender was to build a modest NHL-sized arena, with about 350 seats, six change rooms and public washrooms. The dimensions of the arena will also allow for seating to be added in the future if there is a need and funding is available. “The vision here is a really positive one,” Bachrach said. “We’re talking about a new recreation amenity for our community and it’s going to be one more thing that attracts people to Smithers and it makes us a really awesome place to live, work and play.
“We’ve been hockey can’t grow,” he RDBN Rural Area talking about this for said.

SD54 hears request for immersion at SSS By Percy N. Hébert Smithers/Interior News
At their March 19 meeting, the School District 54 board heard a delegation from Patrick Witwicki, executive director of L’Association des Francophones et Francophiles du Nord-Ouest (AFFNO). During his presentation, Witwicki urged the board to consider offering a French immersion program at Smithers secondary school. According to Witwicki, the enrollment of students at Muheim elementary school’s French immersion program is the highest in the northwest on a per capita basis. “That’s amazing,”
School District 54 Superintendent Chris van der Mark and the school board Percy N. Hébert photo
Witwicki said of the statistic. Projections for the 2013/2014 school year also bode well for the program with 190 students expected to enroll in the kindergarten - Grade 7 French immersion program. “There is clearly a
demand,” Witwicki said. SD54 Superintendent, Chris van der Mark, said he was impressed with the presentation by Witwicki, but said any decision regarding a French immersion program at SSS is still a ways down the road.
“I though he gave us some good information,” van der Mark said. “Now it’s going to go to the board and they’ll have a discussion as to what the pros and cons, if any and what such a program would look like and what the impact and pressures might be.” The board of trustees also considered a hike in their rate of remuneration. “They don’t get a lot,” van der Mark said of the trustees remuneration. “We have a very keen sense of fiscal responsibility and that’s something they believe in. “So what we saw is not only do they walk the walk, they talk the talk. “I think we can all
Wilson maintains pursuit of justice WILSON from A1 Any investigation involving the IIO happens at the request of the RCMP where the incident originated, Owen Court, IIO manager, said. “This process doesn’t make sense at all,” Wilson said. “How is it they get to decide if they are going to be investigated or not?” The IIO officially opened on Sept. 10, 2012 and Wilson’s arrest occurred within 30 days. On the same evening, as the Wilson arrest, a man in Cranbrook was arrested and the IIO was not immediately involved by the Cranbrook RCMP after an initial assessment determined “serious harm” didn’t happen. The Delta Police Department took over the investigation and IIO
reviewed its findings and it was determined the Cranbrook incident required IIO involvement. IIO Chief Civilian Director Richard Rosenthal stated, “It was in the public interest to assert [IIO] jurisdiction regardless of the ultimate determination of the level of injury.” The Cranbrook man received immediate medical attention, whereas Wilson claims she was repeatedly denied medical attention despite multiple appeals to Const. Mack during the arrest. Wilson missed two weeks of classes due to injuries, including, a bruised hip and swelling around the rib cage and spine, which she allegedly sustained during the arrest. She has also recently
undergone a root canal on her chipped front tooth. The second major obstacle is the process for filing a charge against a RCMP officer requires an investigation, which in this case was conducted by the Smithers RCMP detachment. The case has been closed by Staff Sargent Kirsten Marshall citing a lack of evidence against Const. Mack. “They told me I didn’t submit my evidence in a timely manner,” said Wilson, who claims not all of the evidence was considered before her file was closed. “I am a single mother, a full-time student and have been dealing with depression since that night.” Staff Sgt. Marshall was unavailable for comment.
be very proud of the discussion and their resolve. The trustees have not had an increase in pay since 2009. The current increase, based on the consumer price index would have added about $90 to their paycheques. “I don’t think any of us are here for the money,” Les Kearns, chair of the board, said. “It doesn’t seem appropriate.” The motion to increase trustee remuneration was defeated unanimously.

Ask your Live Well Pharmacist What is the difference between a generic and brand name drug? Typically a brand name drug will cost about 40% more than the generic band. A generic drug is a less expensive copy of the brand name drug and contains the same active ingredient in the same amount as the brand name drug. A generic drug works exactly the same way in the body to treat a particular medical condition as a brand name drug does. The active ingredient in the generic drug is chemically identical to the brand name drug, and usually the non-medical ingredients, which give the drug its colour and shape of the pill, are the same or very close. Fact: The manufacturers of a brand name drug have spent approximately $1.3 billion over a 15 year period by the time you see it the pharmacy. Fact: The manufacturers of a
generic brand spend only $1 million dollars over 2–3 years to develop this same drug. Why the difference? The manufacturers of a brand name drug spend their money on the discovery of the drug and clinical trials. The manufacturers of generic drugs spend their money on making an identical drug and demonstrating to Health Canada that their “copy-cat” brand will give the same blood concentration as the brand drug when ingested. Both brand name and generic drugs play an important role in your health. Generic drugs keep the cost of medications down and keep the market competitive, while funds from brand name drugs help drug companies develop new treatments and improve existing ones.

Federal budget irks Skeena-BV MP Cullen Changes to Gas Tax Fund potentially good news for Smithers
By Percy N. Hébert Smithers/Interior News
Skeena-Bulkley Valley NDP MP, Nathan Cullen, isn’t impressed with the budget released by the Conservative federal government last week, claiming the federal government is playing the shell game with existing program funding. For example, Cullen said, money that was going to the provinces for training is being clawed back by the federal government to manage itself as part of the new Canada Jobs Grant which will potentially provide training for up to 130,000 low-skilled workers and Canadians who are ineligible
for employment insurance. Under the Canada Jobs Grant, applicants are eligible to receive $15,000, with $5,000 coming from the federal government, from monies they are clawing back from the provincial jobtraining program they established in the last budget, with $5,000 coming from employers and $5,000 from the provinces. “This is strange because it was this Conservative government that gave this money [job training] to the provinces in the first place saying the provinces could do it better. “We think the provinces have a better sense of the skills needs in the different regions.
“All this budget does is move the money from one pot to the other.” The move isn’t going to make up for any shortfalls in the demand for skilled workers, Cullen said, especially skilled-labor jobs where proposed projects could lead to a rise by tens of thousands. Given the focus on job training, it was expected the budget would funnel money into postsecondary institutions such as Northwest Community College that offer training in skilled labour jobs. “That’s too bad [NWCC didn’t receive additional funding] because the college does great value for money, but it really needs a lot more local [provincial]
control,” Cullen said, referring to the federal government’s clawback of job training funds. Part of the job strategy announced in the budget is a $109 million workfare program directed at aboriginals living on reserves who receive social assistance. The program is only available to reserve communities agreeing to a mandatory participation policy, including a set of compliance measures. “What’s frustrating is that we had a decent skills and apprenticeship program that would give First Nations people access to the skilled labour jobs in the resource world,”
Cullen said. “Instead the government’s saying that the problem is First Nations youth and young people in general are just lazy so we’re going to force them into workfare programs. “No other Canadian has a workfare program imposed upon them. “That smacks of racism.” Smithers Mayor, Taylor Bachrach, saw some good news in the federal budget, namely around infrastructure funding. Of note, Bachrach said, are changes to the Gas Tax Fund which make recreation facilities, such as the proposed second arena, eligible to receive funding. “They’ve expanded the criteria to include
recreation facilities,” Bachrach said. With plans for a new arena in Smithers, Bachrach said the new criteria would make it easier to raise funds for recreation facilities which are typically difficult to fund. Another welcome part of the budget, for the Canadian Federation of Municipalities, including Smithers is a $47 billion infrastructure program with a 10year run. “It falls within the need for long-term planning,” Bachrach said. But, Bachrach also added, the amount falls short of what Canadian municipalities really need to tend to their infrastructure needs. Cullen agreed,
noting the infrastructure monies promised in the budget would barely make a dent in the more than $200 billion municipalities across Canada need to make upgrades to their aging infrastructure, from buildings to sewers and roads. Cullen also noted the funding was already in place and the amount promised didn’t take one important factor into consideration. “They don’t account for inflation over the 10 years, they’re pretending there’s going to be no inflation for the next decade ,” Cullen said. “Even considering a low increase in inflation, the cost to the infrastructure program would be $5 billion.”

uring discussions at a regional meeting of the regional district economic development commissioners and the local industrial development committee, the need for a skilled workforce became obvious. It also became obvious that none of the school institutions in the central region has the capability to provide the training required. A story was recited of one mining company having to send for technical help to eastern Canada, “to do a one hour job.” As the ministry of education is presently constituted, as its attitudes are such that it cannot concede the importance of developing vocational and technical schools suitable for the nature of the area, it seems imperative that such bodies as the commission, municipalities and those with a strong interest in developing some measure of skill self-sufficiency for the central region should combine. Closely associated with this interest is the need for the central region, through its won efforts, to encourage rapid development of supportive industry in mining agriculture and forestry, small and medium manufacturing units capable of working closely with industry and of being innovative enough to adapt and adopt equipment to the peculiarities of the region. With activity in this direction a commitment should be made to establish the schooling institutions necessary to provide the skills and expertise required and force the unions, if necessary to accept full apprenticeship programmes. The only way this will be achieved is by the co-ordinated effort of the central region and through its own financial resources. While the central and northern regions contribute more than their share to the general revenue of the province, it must be recognized that no government is Victoria will think seriously of re-allocating funds to cater to the wishes to this region. The fact the NWCC’s budget is being reduced by inflation is an example. Expanded and better institutions, therefore, must be through the initiative of private and public interests with the dollars up frond to do it. There is latent leadership available to accomplish these aims. It is important, however that such leadership be encouraged to reject the ‘they should do it” syndrome with vague wavings toward Victoria and Ottawa. Interior News, May 13, 1981
Area-based tenures - a cautionary tale
M
LA Bob Simpson’s
comments regarding forest tenures in the Lakes District News, should be a wakeup call to everyone who lives in and cares about the Lakes District. Most of the forest tenures in the province are volume-based and there are good reasons for this. Government retains land use rights, the control of management practices on the land base and determines the volume cut for the tenure holder. The tenure holder has no authority to sell any rights to the land. The tenure
holder just has rights to a certain volume of timber. Area-based timber licenses are called tree farm licenses. There are still a few on Vancouver Island. They are vastly different than volume-based tenures. The tenure holder is given complete control (rate of cut, where, replanting requirements or lack of) over the tenure area and government has no authority over what takes place. They get stumpage but even that could be marginal. The most alarming feature is the government would have to pay handsomely to get the

tenure back. This is why it’s called privatization (via the back door). They technically still own the land on paper but have no rights to its use. Let’s put this into perspective. The Liberals want to legislate area-based tenures to Hampton in exchange for rebuilding our mill. They want to “hand over” “basic ownership/rights to” large swaths of

the Lakes District. Hampton rebuilds the mill, runs it until all merchantable timber is cut and then decides to close the mill and go back to Oregon. They now have the right to sell their area-based tenures to anyone (think China) without any compensation to local citizens. And, we do not have any guarantee they will be resold to a timber company. There was a scandal on Vancouver Island a few days ago after the Liberals allowed the sale of an area-based tenure to non-timber entity. So, in a number of years, we could be faced with no mill,
a much shrinking timberland base; a Chinese state ownership of much of our forest land and no hopes of future employment for our children. Is this really the future we want in exchange for running a mill for a few years. Why can’t we give Hampton volumebased tenures until the wood runs out without signing away our rights to the land? There must be a reason why the Liberals would consider such a foolish/devastating proposal. What do you think it is? Judy Stratton is a resident of Burns Lake.

Thank you to museum Editor: March 5th of this month I brought my Grandmother’s cedar hope chest to the Bulkley Valley Historical Society. I wish to thank Fergus Tomlin, Museum Director, Melissa Sawatsky, Curator and Colin Bateman, CHA, General Manager of Aspen of Inn & Suites. The museum said they would gladly be the forever keepers of one your pioneers treasure. Fergus gave us a wonderful time. David and I toured the Culture Crawl and visited some of the stores that were recommended. The fudge was lovely and so tempting. We had a wonderful visit.
Fergus, I made David keep his wallet in his pocket in the fishing tackle store. The lady thought we were quite funny about that. Wherever we stopped on the crawl, everyone made us welcome. My grandmother Josephine Pauline Roccia married my grandfather Frederick James Sait, Dec 24, 1917 at Hagwilget, New Hazelton. Grandad was the section foreman G.T.P. This hope chest was made by one of your locals and so it should return to rest with Museum. Thank you again. Lucille Bates Salmon Arm

(re: Legacy Square moving ahead, Interior News, March 6, 2013). We have such an incredible opportunity to have an amazing legacy remain for decades to come from our Centennial celebration - some green, public space on our vibrant Main Street. The public engagement on various landscaping, seating and other ideas provided the community a chance to give input and feedback into this space that has the
potential to be a focal point downtown. A meeting place, a resting stop, a chance to engage with neighbours, etc. While it is appreciated that the committee has sought a grant and drawn up a big stage for the space, the handful of times it’ll be used for events compared to the rest of the area on a daily basis (if done right), means perhaps more than ten percent of the existing budget should be for landscaping and seating instead of the

stage. Celebrating our amazing arts and culture community with this space is only going to be stronger if we have a balanced approach and get it right before construction begins. Nikki Skuce Smithers
Housing isn’t affordable in Smithers Editor : (Re: Housing is affordable in Smithers,
Letters, Interior News, March 20, 2013). I read with sadness the recent letter from Mr. Mairs regarding the affordability of housing here in Smithers. I agreed wholeheartedly with his sentiment that a stable place to call home can allow people to build healthy families and communities. I also agree that good, affordable housing is the foundation of communities and an essential part of smart growth. Despite those two statements, a clear financial picture was not given as to the true cost of living in northern BC. I have not met many “average” families in the Bulkley Valley. Many families that I know do not have a net income of $36,000
a year. Let me give you a picture of the average family of four that I see in the north. With most available jobs paying minimum wage and offering fewer than forty hours, a family is lucky if both parents can find work in this community. A single parent, of which there are many in this community, has the added difficulty of only one, often low income. An apartment may run $825 a month but few are available at that cost. In addition to the cost of this “available housing” are the other costs of living. According to a report called The Cost of Eating in BC, the average family of four would have to spend $841 a month to provide healthy, balanced meals. See COST on p.A9

L etters COST from A7 Add a $50 monthly Hydro bill, and factor in transportation costs which, with a car payment, insurance and fuel, could be another $500. At least $60 more will be needed for a telephone. This is a base cost of $2,276 per month. Will the family need clothing and school supplies? Those items add up. What if someone in the family has a health issue? Even a “small thing” like being gluten intolerant, a growing problem these days, can add hundreds of dollars a month to a stretched budget. Pray that these families don’t have bigger health issues. Hope that no dentist appointments are needed and that the children don’t want to participate in any sports. Even a school field trip can be out of reach for some.

The true picture of financial matters in the Valley is a lot rougher than Mr. Mairs painted. Even with two people working, families are forced to cut costs in ways that cause physical and emotional hardship. The reality is that affordable housing is not the only issue facing a family in our community, but that cost contributes to a very hard economic life for the 80 per cent of the population cited as choosing to work for a living. I feel sad for the 20 per cent who may not be able to work due to disabilities and other issues. Rick Apperson Telkwa
Be careful with dog park Editor: (re: Duo push for dog park in Smithers, Interior News, March 6, 2013). On the face of it, a
dog park in Smithers is a great idea and I applaud the two women who have initiated the petition for a dog park. However, before people sign the petition I urge them to become aware of the problems and dangers associated with dog parks. There is an article from a dog training website that speaks to dog parks being a bad idea. You can find the article at www.leerbur. com. This is just one of
2nd Annual Dummy Downhill
many websites. If you Google this topic, you will find many articles and first-hand experiences from people who have been at dog parks when thigs got out of control. If the Town of Smithers does decide to approve a dog park, join me in urging them to ensure that safety precautions for both dogs and owners are strictly enforced and that mitigative meaures are put in place.

Honored Smithers’ Lady at Big Surprise Party
Admiration and respect for Mrs. J.S. Gray was beautifully exemplified at a surprise party arranged by friend and held in the Anglican Hall on Saturday night, there being over 100 present. While a few preferred bridges, the majority indulged in the dancing provided, and a very happy evening was spent in the celebration of Mrs. Gray’s birthday. With the serving of refreshments, Rev. David Donaldson, as spokesman for the big gathering expressed the sentiments of Mrs. Gray’s staunch friends, and on the behalf made a presentation to Mrs. Gray as a memento of the happy occasion.
Merchants OK Present 6 Day Store Opening
Smithers Retail Merchants voted to continue their present six-day week opening when they held their annual meeting in the Municipal Hall on Thursday evening of last week with a comparatively good turnout. This was one of the major items of business on the agenda, and once again arguments for and against a full work week showed the pros to have a small majority. The matter of purchasing “litter baskets” to be hung on existing light standards on Main Street provoked considerable discussion, mainly in view of the high cost. It was originally hoped to be able to purchase 14 of these baskets, which are the same as the one presently in use in front of Super-Valu.

Police quotas disputed
The deputy police commissioner does not agree Smithers needs seven police officers. According to a letter sent to town council from police analyst Judy Reykdal, the deputy commissioner “cannot agree to police the town with the numbers of members proposed by your council.” Smithers’ council had proposed seven officers, now that the town has exceeded 5000 people. Municipal policing is mandatory over that number. Nevertheless, the deputy commissioner “is prepared to be flexible,” the letter continues. The police services branch would consider nine police here, provided the town agrees to move toward eleven members in the future. Council will discuss the issue at its committee of the whole meeting next week.

The Dairy Farm on Snake Road was first operated by Tony and Sophie Yelich who homesteaded the main farm site in 1940. They cleared land and built the existing large squared timber barns over the next decade. In 1947 they started shipping milk in 10 gallon cans that were taken into town and shipped on the CNR passenger train to the Valentin Dairy plant in Prince Rupert. In 1964 the Yelich’s sold the farm to Jim and Beth Davidson, who moved their 20 registered Holstein cows to the farm along with their growing family of 5 children, 3 more arrived in the following years. In the beginning, Jim and Beth milked the cows in a stantion barn for 8 years; this requires moving a milking machine to each cow and then packing buckets of milk to a milk cooling tank.
A Project of your Bulkley Valley Dairy Association and the Interior News
In 1972, a modern milking parlour was built allowing the milker to stand in a sunken pit area at the same height as the cow’s udder; this was a lot easier on the milker’s back and knees. At the same time a pipeline system was installed to move the milk from the parlour to the milk cooling tank. Over the next decade with a stable milk marketing arrangement in place with the Fraser Valley Milk Producers Co-op, the dairy farm grew to 45 cows and evolved into a family farm corporation, now called Canyon Creek Farm Ltd, with sons John and Paul joining the management team in 1980 and the other siblings being shareholders. At present the Dairy operation milks 55 cows with an average daily production of 1000 litres per day, or an average cow production of 18 to 20 litres per day. Winter feed includes a mixed ration of silage, barley, protein and mineral supplements. During the summer
months the cows graze nearby pastures so they are close to the milking barn. The farm also operates an 80 beef cow / calf operation with the beef herd roaming the pastures along Canyon Creek and up into the hills near Malkow Lookout. Farming in the Bulkley Valley is always interesting and never the same two days in a row. A couple of memorable events over the past nearly 50 years include a trail drive of over 100 beef cows and calves and 1 big Bull from the Collingwood ranch on the Telkwa highroad to the crossroad with Snake Road, then along Snake Road and down Snake hill across the bridge and back to the Davidson Farm .... All the neighbours along the way helped keep the cows out of their driveways and gardens.... the trip nearly ended in disaster when the Bull wanted to go visiting with the neighbours herd but our dependable
dog kept him moving along. Another memory was the day our dog was a little slow bringing in the cows one afternoon; he couldn’t get the last cow to keep up with herd..... As they got closer it was clear that the dog was bringing a black bear along in front of him. Sarge was sure disappointed to be told to stop the job ... he was just getting this guy tuned in.... Of course other jobs not to be missed on the farm are picking rocks and roots from newly cleared hay fields and moving square bales by hand every Summer, each of the big barns held 5,000 of them! Farming is a job that requires a lot of time and patience ... we would like to Thank our neighbours for their patience when our cows go visiting their gardens and lawns and their time helping to get them back where they belong. Congratulations Smithers on 100 years of working together with the Valley’s Agriculture Community.

Bantams, Midgets claim bronze at provincials By Ryan Jensen Smithers/Interior News
The Smithers Bantam and Midget Storm both won bronze medals at their provincial tournaments last week. The Midgets, who were given a second chance to take part in the competition, thought they had a real chance of winning the tournament, but fell just short. In the end, they took the Bronze medal game to the second overtime period before Luke Santerno scored the winner to secure the victory. “It was a real heartbreaker,” coach Brendan Hutchinson said. “We felt like we had a team that could win the provincials and play in the finals and it was disappointing for us not to get that opportunity. “Having said that, I’m really proud of the boys, it was a great effort and a great week.” The Midgets opened the tournament with a decisive 8-0 victory over
The Smithers Midget Storm won third place at the Tier 3 provincial championship last week on Vancouver Island. The Bantam Storm also placed third at their provincial tournament.

Dawson Creek and never looked back, defeating Port Alberni and Merritt and tying Langley to finish first in their pool in the round robin. “We stayed positive throughout all the games and everybody wanted to win,” said third-year Midget Owen Rowsell.
In the Semi-finals, the Storm faced off against Whistler. Whistler took an early lead in the game, eventually winning 2-0 and advanced to the finals against Port Alberni. With the loss, Smithers ended up in the bronze-
medal game against Quesnel. Santerno opened up the scoring in the first period but Quesnel answered back with two of their own to take a 2-1 lead into the dressing room after 20 minutes. In the second, Wyatt Vanderheydn scored the
lone goal of the period to tie the game. In the final frame, Smithers took the lead off a Nathan Cachia goal and with 12 minutes remaining, Quesnel answered back to tie the game at three. There was no scoring in the first overtime
period and at 15:42 of the second overtime, Santerno scored the winning goal. Smithers outshot Quesnel 46-29 in the contest. The final game was not quite as close as the score suggests, Hutchinson said. “We doubled up on them in shots and in chances,” he said. “We dominated the game.” Storm player Bobby Jo Love said he was very happy with the thirdplace finish but said one of the highlights of the tournament was the time the team was able to spend together away from the rink. “It was a great team bonding experience,” Love said. “Third in the province, that’s pretty good. “It’s pretty special.” Santerno, the Storm’s leading point getter during the regular season, scored eight goals during the tournament. “I’m really proud of the boys,” Hutchinson said.

S PORTS Smithers hockey teams third best in B.C. From BRONZE on A13 “They grew a lot as hockey players but even more so as people. “I’m hoping that some of these kids move on to junior hockey, if that’s what they’d like to do. “There’s a good group that has the potential to do so.” As a third-year player, Rowsell said the provincial tournament was a great way to end his Smithers Minor Hockey career. “I couldn’t really ask for much more,” Rowsell said. “I got to hang out with my buddies and share this experience with them, it was pretty awesome.” The provincial tournament for the Smithers bantam Storm played out similarly to the midgets. The team began the competition with a 7-2 win over Langley before defeating Port Moody 12-0 and Dawson Creek 8-4. “We dominated most of our games in the round robin,” Storm captain Brendan Moore said. “All year, we’ve been forechecking really hard. “That’s one of our strengths, keep it in their end and tire out their defence.” With three straight wins, the
Storm secured first place in their round robin pool, before facing off against Whitehorse. Whitehorse won the match 5-3. Matt Walker, Adam Veenstra and MitchTurko scored for the Storm. In the semi final, Smithers faced off against Castelgar. The Storm opened the scoring, but Castlegar netted four unanswered goals, eventually going on to win 5-3. The loss placed Smithers in the bronze-medal game against Whitehorse. Whitehorse got up early, taking a 2-1 lead into the dressing room after the first period. The second saw Smithers score a pair and Whitehorse scored a single to bring the game to a 3-3 tie after 40 minutes. In the third, the teams traded goals and the game looked destined for overtime but Riley Coish scored with just under two minutes remaining to give the Storm a 5-4 win and the bronze medal. “We came out hard and played hard all game, knowing it was the last of the season,” Moore said. “We should be pretty proud. “A big thanks goes out to our coaches for giving up all their time to better us as players.”

Wetzin’kwa Forest Talk WHERE SKID ROAD MEETS SKI TRAIL: WINTER RECREATION IN YOUR COMMUNITY FOREST Picture it: You’re exploring your favourite trail, enjoying the snow-laden pines, when suddenly you enter a clearing. The sun hits your face and the mountains appear. A meadow? A helpful beaver? If you’re in the community forest, perhaps those trees have been cleared for your enjoyment. Forestry and logging carved out many of the trails and roads we use to access outdoor recreation. Wetzin’kwa Community Forest builds on this mutually beneficial tradition by considering recreation in its plans and working cooperatively with local outdoor organizations. Skiing Probably the most frequented winter recreation destination within Wetzin’kwa Community Forest is the Bulkley Valley Nordic Centre. Established well before the current community forest tenure, the Bulkley Valley CrossCountry Ski Club is involved in any decision to log within 100 metres either side of ski trails. Trails are cleared where they can be most enjoyed by skiers. For example, recent logging resulted in a new skid road in the Nordic centre’s Pine Creek area. Cross-country skiers—particularly those with four-legged friends—will know the road as the new 2.5-kilometre Hound Haven trail. According to a memorandum of understanding between Wetzin’kwa and the cross-country ski club, a portion of profits from logging within the 200-metre-wide trail management area is shared with the club. The community forest also consults with the club on logging outside the 200-metre area. Snowshoeing Smithers is more than just a ski town, and Wetzin’kwa makes an effort to support other types of recreation. One of those is snowshoeing, which is done on hiking trails in the community forest. A popular snowshoe destination is Seymour Ridge Trail, which enjoys south-facing views and brilliant sunshine even on shortest winter days. Seymour Ridge, the Nordic centre, and

the network of trails between recently became the Smithers Community Forest BC Recreation Trail, under jurisdiction by the provincial government. The area is co-managed by Wetzin’kwa, the cross-country ski club and Smithers Community Forest Society (SCFS). SCFS oversees trails within a designated special management zone of the community forest and is consulted on any harvesting in recreation areas. It provides a connection between the community forest, Recreation Sites and Trails BC and the local recreation community—including Bulkley Valley Naturalists, who have established their own interpretive trail within the community forest. The Nature Trail is accessed between the Nordic centre’s lower parking and the day lodge. The Bulkley Valley Naturalists produced a self-guided trail brochure describing 20 points along the trail. A second brochure describes a side trail into Goldeneye Lake. Copies can be found at Smithers’ Chamber of Commerce. Snowmobiling While the Smithers Community Forest Special Management Zone—which stretches from the last residence on Hudson Bay Mountain Road to just above McDonnell Lake Road—is designated non-motorized, unplowed logging roads and trails beyond the special management zone make for great snowmobiling. Cleared roads also provide access to trails, although anyone on active logging roads should have a rugged vehicle and use a radio. The Smithers Snowmobile Association recently worked with Recreation Sites and Trails BC and Wetzin’kwa Community Forest to establish a three-kilometre trail that reduces recreation traffic on McDonnell Lake Road. Pine Creek Connector Trail leaves Piper Down parking lot, above the McDonnell Lake Road turnoff, following McDonnell Lake Road for three kilometres before heading south into the Microwave-Sinclair riding areas and beautiful alpine beyond. Wetzin’kwa Community Forest also supports local recreation through its grant program and has contributed to organizations such as the Bulkley Valley Search and Rescue, Smithers Volunteer Ski Patrol, Bulkley Valley Outdoor Recreation Society, Bulkley Backcountry Ski Society and the cross-country ski club. Wetzin’kwa strives for a healthy balance of economic, environmental and social values, including commercial forestry and enjoyment of the outdoors.

Junior squash taking off By Ryan Jensen Smithers/Interior News
Mark Edwards is passing on his love for squash to the next generation. Edwards, a fixture on the courts at the BV Pool and Rec Centre, started a youth squash program with the assistance of his youngest daughter, Sophie, who is a talented squash player in her own right. Six young squash players are signed up for the program.
The players have been focusing on the basics, Edwards said, like keeping an open grip and placing the ball where their opponent is not. Earlier this season, the Smithers Junior Squash World Championships were won by Hannalise Laskowski over Mason McKay. Edwards and Malcolm Macmillan also instruct the youth squash program for students at Smithers secondary school every Monday

Midget girls gain experience By Ryan Jensen Smithers/Interior News
The Smithers Rugged Edge midget girls rep hockey team now knows what it takes to compete against the best in B.C. The team, which also has four players from Terrace, two from Houston and one from Prince George, lost all five of their
games at the provincial championships in Richmond last week. The team was at a distinct disadvantage at the tournament as their closest competition is in Kamloops, coach Troy Larden said. “We’re a really good skating team,” he said. “We move the puck fairly well and they anticipate the play well, too, but when we
got down to the higher level of competition, the puck pressure was a little bit different and we were panicking with the puck.” Throughout the season, the girls stayed sharp by playing games against the Terrace bantam girls rep team, Smithers bantam house team as well as playing in a couple of women’s tournaments.

a tournament in Kamloops, did the girls face-off against other teams at their level. But this was not the reason they were winless at the provincial tournament, Larden said, the girls simply did not play as well as they could have. “In my opinion, I don’t think the girls played to their potential,” Larden said.
“There were teams down there that were beatable by us. “We could have won games, easily.” The team did not come home empty handed, though, as they were awarded the Fair Play trophy. “They weren’t dirty,” Larden said. “They took a couple of penalties but they were hard-work penalties.”

BVRC celebrates 10th AGM By Percy N. Hébert Smithers/Interior News
Although Buckey the beaver didn’t make an appearance, that didn’t stop members of the Bulkley Valley Research Centre from celebrating their 10th annual general meeting. Established in 2002, the goal of the original board members and executive was to foster a community of researchers dedicated to learning about the natural environment in the Bulkley Valley. The highlight of the evening was the presentation of several awards recognizing research and volunteer achievement. Phil Burton and Dave Coates shared the Jim Pojar Award which recognizes important contributions to the scientific literature. Burton was nominated as co-author of a book entitled, Salvage Logging and its Ecological Consequences, while Coates was nominated as coauthor of a book entitled A Critique of Silviculture, Managing for Complexity. Both are go-to books for forest ecologists around the world, BVRC President Sybille Haeussler said.
“Both have received international attention and received glowing reviews in the prestigious scientific journals,” Hauessler said. “They really highlight the worldclass research going on in our region.” Dave Bustard received the Irving Fox Award, which recognizes life-time contributions to the sustainability of natural resources in northwestern B.C. “He’s made huge contributions in to
fisheries management in his career and tireless contributions to the community” Haeussler said. Bustard, an aquatic biologist, was nominated especially for his long-term monitoring of regional watersheds associated with mining activity. “Long-term monitoring is something the BVRC promotes and Dave is one of those people who’s done that,” Haeussler said. The BVRC also
recognized Bustard’s efforts regarding the National Energy Board’s joint review panel of Enbridge’s proposed Northern Gateway pipeline. An aquatic biologist, Bustard examined the potential risks to fisheries from an oil spill from the Northern Gateway pipeline. The BVRC also recognized the efforts of Bob Henderson in developing the Recreation Access Management Plan.

Bellies and Bambinos delivers
Smithers/Interior News
For Ali Shervill, the idea of establishing a maternity boutique in Smithers was born of necessity. Bellies and Bambinos, located on Main Street in Smithers, opened December 1, 2012, after Shervill’s own experience looking for maternity clothing. “When I was pregnant, I couldn’t find anything to wear,” Shervill said. From this experience, Shervill felt there was a need for a maternity store in Smithers. Mom, Kate Hepburn, joined the venture for one simple reason. “Ali needed a business partner and financial backing,” Hepburn said. Of course, Hepburn was more than willing to help her daughter, knowing young families often don’t have enough capital to start such ventures on their own. “I’m a little older and more established and was able to get the credit,” Hepburn said. With little business knowledge or knowledge of suppliers, the pair put their shoulders to the grindstone in September and set a target of a December 2012 opening to hopefully take advantage of Christmas shopping. Since opening in December 2012, both Shervill and Hepburn said one of the nicest surprises was the reaction of the people that come into the store. “The reaction has been very positive,” Hepburn said. From the colour of the store to the lighting, the products the store carries and the consignment area, comments have been positive. Although, Shervill said, another common comment leaves them wishing they had opened earlier. “Many ask us why
we weren’t here a year ago,” Shervill said. In addition to the obvious financial benefits, Shervill said helping women find something to wear when they’re at probably the most uncomfortable stage is another reward the new business provide her. “They’re not familiar with their own bodies and to be able to give them something to wear that makes them feel good, I think is really important. “And it feels good for us,” Hepburn added. When asked if the business relationship had put a strain on the mother-daughter relationship Shervill smiled. “We work really well together,” Shervill said. “I think this has actually probably made us even closer,” Hepburn said.

Jo Anderson was five years old when the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway brought her family to Smithers in April of 1940. Her dad, Leslie Buchanan, was the new government telegraph agent and Jo vividly recalls those early days of adventure in this rising village. “The roads were logs in mud. The logs kept disappearing into the swamp making it necessary to regularly add more logs.” On one occasion, Jo’s mom almost reached her breaking point when she rescued curious Jo out of a mucky ditch alongside Main Street. Despite her mother’s initial misgivings, Smithers became a well-loved home for Jo and her family. “We had a wonderful childhood; we played outside a lot, neighbourhood kids did things together in those days.” Jo recalls skating on the outdoor rink on King Street with the soldiers brought here to help build the airport and fondly remembers the camaraderie shared between the community and newcomers to the growing town. Jo has always been active in the Smithers community. In 1953, she became the first “Miss Smithers” at the Winterfest sponsored by the CNR. For many years, Jo held etiquette courses for the candidates for “Miss Smithers” and the 4H Rodeo. She continues to be involved with “Relay for Life” and the Cancer Survivor Luncheon. Jo, her husband George and their children Art and Kim won a prize in 1967, Canada’s Centennial, for the “Best Dressed Family” in Smithers. She sewed all four outfits. Jo also volunteered for Smither’s 75th Anniversary Homecoming. Once again Jo brings her expertise to our 100th Anniversary Homecoming Week, August 2nd -10th, 2013; she will be volunteering, as enthusiastic as always, at the Hospitality Centre.

Smith, in only his first year as a member of the Bulkley Valley Special Olympics Alpine Ski Team, won the top spot in slalom at his only competition of the year in Kelowna in February. Because of his result Smith was moved from the Novice division, the first-year ski category, to Advanced Division 1, the second highest category. If he continues to improve at this rate, Smith is on track to become one of the best in the world, coach Shannon Hurst said. “He is a total delight to work with and travel with and I’m very excited and optimistic about the future,” Hurst said. “I’m confident Luke has what it takes to be one of the best. “Providing we don’t have any unforeseen complications in the next few years, there is no doubt in my mind that Luke is podium bound at regionals, provincials, nationals and the worlds.” The 17-year-old Grade 12 Smithers secondary school student has been skiing since the age of two but his prowess on the hill was not passed down by his parents, Rod, his father, said. Rod began skiing as

a teenager and his wife, Donna, is not a skier at all. “I’m not a good skier,” Rod said. “Luke leaves me behind on the hill. “He stands at the bottom and waits for me.” A self-professed speed
demon, Luke has always been a strong skier, but he’s worked hard on refining his racing technique this season. “It’s fun,” Luke said, a wide smile spreading across his face. “I like the speed.” Contributing to Luke’s success is a partnership

between the Special Olympics and Hudson Bay Mountain and the Smithers Ski and Snowboard Club. The partnership allows him to practice racing using gates and Smith practices many more times than his counterparts in other
areas of the province. “The ski hill and the ski and snowboard club got on board with the Special Olympics program and have been awesome,” Rod said. “If it wasn’t for those two, this program would not happen.” Once the snow
melts, Hurst said she has planned an intense dryland training program to prepare Smith for next ski season. Hurst has her sights set very high for Luke. She believes he has the right stuff to qualify for the World Championships in Austria in four years. “He has the strength and solid background in skiing,” she said. “He has the ability to listen and follow instruction and the drive to be the best.” While it’s nice to win, Luke and Rod said the social aspect of the Special Olympics program is what they find especially rewarding. “As they become adults and get out there in the world, it’s pretty exciting for them to be able to socialize with these other athletes,” Rod said. “It’s pretty amazing the opportunities that are out there for him.” But more volunteers are required to make sure the Special Olympics program can continue to expand and evolve. “We know there’s more people who want to take part but we need more coaches and assistant coaches or the program can’t grow,” Rod said. For more information on the Bulkley Valley Special Olympics program, call Rod at 250847-9004.

MOVING EXPENSES
It’s possible I’m a fuddy duddy Sometimes common sense gets the better of me You know I am starting to think I am a fuddy duddy. Maybe it is an old lady syndrome. I am sure someone has a word for what I have or what I am. For instance, I seem to say, quite often, to myself or my dogs, “I just don’t get it.” Let’s see now. Here is a topic many have asked me to mention. Now that it is spring in the legal sense we know in the north that it is true. All along the highway garbage is rearing its ugly head. Tell me if you can, if you are on your way to the dump how is it you can’t secure your load? You must notice that a couple bags are missing when you get there.
SPICE OF LIFE Brenda Mallory
Or, if you have finished your coffee and snack why for heaven sake do you have to throw the empty container along our roads? I just don’t get it. I know some dedicated young
people will take time to clean up the mess but why should they? Beats me! Here is another snippet of my aggravation. I was told yesterday by a local person that they will not vote in the election. No sense I was told since all politicians are crooks. I didn’t know that but I do figure if I don’t like who is in office I can vote for someone else. What the heck, it doesn’t cost anything and you will be part of the process. I tell you it must be the old lady thing. I heard a commercial the other day for diapers. Not that I was interested mind you but the words coming
at me said that every flush should be celebrated. I finally positioned myself in front of the TV only to be told that there is now a computer program that will entice a child to be toilet trained. I have an idea some old folks will at some point need instructions along the same line. I just don’t get it. What is it about tattoos I ask you? I don’t mind a small something or other on a person. A rose or a butterfly. I have to tell you I really don’t like the full arm tattoos that look for all the world like a landscape. It just seems to me the more business one adds to the surface of
their skin the more ugly it gets. It looks like the person is not clean. I know it is some sort of statement but I have to tell you the statement will be altered once your skin gets old and sags. Those images will take on a whole new life. Maybe it is just me but I still don’t get it. I have to tell you that I do feel so much better getting some of this off my chest. You are probably reading this and thinking that you don’t get it either. I know I missed some of life’s aggravations. You can tell me yours when you call 250-846-5095 or e-mail mallory@ bulkley.net.
Question: What conditions make moving expenses a valid tax deduction? Answer: You may deduct certain moving expenses if you move within Canada at least 40 kilometres closer to your new work place to earn wages or income through self-employment, at the new location. You may not claim expenses which have been or will be reimbursed. There are many moving expenses which are commonly overlooked. NOTE: The straight-line method of measuring the 40 km minimum distance has been replaced by 40 km measured over the shortest practical route.
STUDENT MOVING EXPENSE Question: Can students claim moving expenses as a tax deduction? Answer: Students who move from full-time post-secondary school attendance to take a job in Canada, including a summer job, may be able to deduct the moving expenses from that employment income.

Curiosity is a good thing and students at Telkwa elementary school tried to quench their curiosity recently with their very own science project Maddie Barendregt, a 12-year-old Grade 7 student, chose her project to compliment her interest in music. “I kind of wanted to do something with heart rate in it,” she said. For her project, Barendregt measured the heart of friends, before and after she had them listen to Thunderstruck by ACDC, which happens to be her favourite song. Although she enjoyed doing the science project, Barendregt admitted the judging process was a bit nervewracking. “I stumbled a bit, but it was OK,” she said. The judges made some good points, Barendregt said, points she would include should she repeat the experiment. Nonetheless, judges noted Barendregt was on the right track. “What we liked about Maddie’s project was that she had a hypothesis,” Richard Overstall said as judging partner Kiri Daust nodded. That Maddie proved her hypothesis wrong was not a problem, Overstall said. “That can be the most interesting because you can learn something new,” Daust explained. Daust should know, he’s been taking part in science fairs

since Grade three. “It’s very much an important part of my life,” Daust, 15, said. “It’s a great opportunity for people to get to study the world around them and to learn about questions they’re interested in.” Overstall, a former geologist, turned lawyer, said science fairs are essential to help youth think outside of the box and to develop critical thinking skills. Overstall and Daust were positive in their assessment of the projects on display in the Telkwa elementary school gym, commending the students for the obvious effort in conducting their projects and the originality of the projects. “Compared to some of the other schools I’ve visited this year, the Telkwa students projects are more advanced,” Daust said. Nonetheless, Overstall and Daust did have some general advice for students contemplating a science project. “Think carefully
Check e h t t u o great ! s r e y l f
about the scientific process,” Overstall said, alluding to the fact some of the projects lacked a hypothesis. “Try using more replicates,” Daust added. “I love the kids’ enthusiasm for the projects,” science fair organizer Gail Currie said was the best part of organizing the science fair. For the students, Currie said, the joy of the science projects comes in the discovery of how science works all while learning how it goes together and how precise they have to be and the process of thinking through how their project is going to be displayed so people can understand it. “It’s a huge process, it takes about two months to do it all,” Currie said. “They have a lot of fun along the way. “They feel successful.” About one-third of the projects move on to the regionals in Terrace which adds to the enthusiasm about science and the sense of success, Currie said.

A ROUND TOWN
Focus on youth raises cash for library By Percy N. Hébert Smithers/Interior News
Justice Cumiskey, a Grade 11 student at Smithers secondary school, hoped someone would bid on his print, but admitted he had no idea someone would bid $105 for the piece of photographic art he created. Cumiskey and about a dozen other students from SSS had their photographic art up for auction at the Smithers public library last week. The prints were on display at various businesses throughout Smithers, and last Thursday’s auction was the culmination of the exhibition. The idea for the exhibition came from Vicki Alton, librarian at SSS and a member of Friends of the Library. “I was seeing artwork that was amazing and thought it needs to get out into the community,” she said. Alton said the public library is always looking for partnerships as is the school and thought the exhibition would be a win-win. “I had no idea how it was going to turn out,” Alton said of her original thoughts about the success of the venture. “But the kids are excited about having their work out there and having people look at their art,” Alton said as her hand waved towards the various prints around the library. Proceeds from the evening are divided between the library, receiving 50 per cent, while SSS receives 25 per cent and the students received 25 per cent of the top bid their work received. In addition to securing the highest bid, Cumiskey admitted the process did kindle the idea of a

art into the public, Duncan said. “I thought it was a great exposure for the students. Although the prints were based on photographs taken by the students, several of the students then manipulated the photographs digitally, in some cases to produce intricate art designs.

There were plenty of giggles, guffaws and belly laughs as the Smithers secondary school drama students hosted an evening of improv comedy last week as a fundraiser to cover travel costs to provincial theatre championships in the Lower Mainland. Left, Jake Miller and Ashlynn Jackson play a variation of charades, the theme was split ends; right, Seth Jex, centre, with the help of classmates and drama teacher Heather Lytle enact the birthing process during another skit.

Bulldogs bring home a gold from Richmond By Jerome Turner Hazelton/Interior News
The Hazelton Bulldogs hockey team won the Spring Classic peewee tournament last week in Richmond and had to battle the elements just to play. They drove 1,100 kilometres through a blizzard to play, have fun and succeed. Each player brought home a gold medal and another trophy to display proudly at their home rink. The 11 and 12-year-old girls and boys team, with help from two 10-year-olds, took top spot in the annual Richmond Minor Hockey Association Spring Classic against 16 teams leading to elimination matches that ended Monday. Participating peewee teams came from Seattle, White Rock, Surrey, Richmond, Nanaimo and Lake Cowichan. In four days the Bulldogs played seven games, winning six, including overtime victories of 2-1 and 4-3 and a 1-1 tie. The strong play allowed the Bulldogs the opportunity to play the Richmond Ice Dogs in the final. See BULLDOGS on p. B2

Fans rally Bulldogs to win BULLDOGS from B1 The final proved to be less challenging than the two previous games and the Bulldogs cruised to a 5-1 victory. Over 50 fans travelled to watch the team play and the team responded to the support, according to Gordon Wood, from Steveston and was there in support of the Bulldogs. “They travelled the farthest of any of the teams, played some of the best hockey I’ve seen in a long time, played not individually but as a team,” Wood, who coaches in the RMHA, said. “Each of the Bulldogs put Hazelton on the map and made your friends and family proud,” Wood said.

New trout regulations for Skeena region By Jerome Turner Hazelton/Interior News
Beginning April 1 trout and char will be off-limits for anyone wishing to bring one home following recent amendments to fishing regulations by the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations. After extensive input from communities and multiple stakeholders, the ministry decided that an expected increase in access to streams and rivers in the northwest would put the fish at risk. However, between July 1 and October 31 a person will be allowed to keep one trout of more than 30 centimetres in length per day. For the remaining eight months trout fishing in the Skeena area, or Region 6, is now strictly catch-andrelease. “It is in the interests of conservation and maintenance of recreational value to reduce harvest quotas until a better assessment of risk can be made,” the ministry said. “The regulation affects only the retention of trout and char in streams, and does not change the opportunity to angle for these species in streams, or to harvest salmon in streams or wild and stocked trout and char in lakes.” A comprehensive study regarding the exact population of char and trout in Region 6 has not been done by the ministry in part because the area stretches from south of Kitimat east of Burns Lake and north to the Yukon border. “Assessment of stream trout and char populations is particularly challenging, due to the complexity of their life cycles and population structure, and large number of stream systems in the region which support these
species,” said the ministry. This proactive move will keep the population of trout and char healthy despite changes in the region. “Habitat disruption is part of the concern, including increasing road access and climate change,” according to the ministry. “The ministry makes regulations based on all factors when managing for conservation reasons. “Non-retention for November 1 through June 30 will help protect trout during a more vulnerable part of their life cycle.” If found poaching or having too many fish an initial fine of $100 will be levied and $50 for each fish over the daily quota up to $1000. The regular fishing licence requirement remains the same throughout B.C. First Nations food harvesting practices are not affected by the regulation change. “First Nations right to harvest for food, social and ceremonial purposes are not affected,” the ministry said. “This particular regulation was actively presented to the fisheries representatives of six First Nations in the region.” The Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations recommends local residents to report any violations of the Fisheries Act through the Report All Poachers and Polluters (RAPP) hotline at 1-877-952-RAPP (7277). New fishing regulations by the Ministry of Forests, Lands and For more information visit http://www.

Skilled students head to provincial competition By Jerome Turner Hazelton/Interior News
Two Hazelton secondary students have earned the opportunity to go to the 19th annual Skills Canada provincial competition next month. Ben Williams will display his command of the culinary arts and Scott Beertema will show his mastery in mechanics Apr. 17 in Abbotsford at the TradeX centre. Williams remembers being blind-sided about participating in this year’s zone competition at the Terrace Northwest Community College campus. “A counsellor asked me if I would like to enter two weeks before and I kinda forgot about it,” Williams recalled. “Then it was less than a week and he asked me if I was ready and I nearly lost it.”
After the initial shock wore off, Williams resolved to go, but nearly backed out at the last minute. “I was really nervous and didn’t know if I had enough to win,” Williams said. Williams became interested in cooking through his older brother, who now cooks in mining camps and the time spent learning from his older sibling paid off. Once the competition began Williams asked several questions as he went along, which made the judges take notice. “I didn’t know where anything was in there,” Williams said. “So I just kept asking.” Another reason Williams stood out from the rest of the competitors was his attitude in the kitchen. “I was singing and dancing around and having a great time,” he said. Of course, the competition was
ultimately won by the food he prepared. He and the others had to make mushroom soup, chicken cordon bleu and a root vegetable ragu. “I was a bit intimidated by the cook next to me,” Williams said. “He made a cheese crisp for the garnish on his soup and sautéd his mushrooms in white wine. And there I was with my little bowl of soup.” “I felt that either he over did it or I didn’t do enough for mine.” The food was judged on taste, but also presentation and his brother’s advice came in handy when it came time to plate the chicken. “He always said to cut the chicken on an angle so it looks nice,” Williams said. Both Williams and Beertema won out over 12 other competitors from the northwest zone to qualify for provincials.

SOFIA DEWIT June 2, 1932 – March 10, 2013
Less than one year ago Sofia was delighted to turn 80 years old, celebrating an amazing milestone with family and friends. When she was almost 62 Sofie had suffered a serious heart attack that resulted in early retirement from her kitchen staff job at BVD Hospital and having open heart surgery. She lived the rest of her life with several health complications but with much contentment and a loving heart that was so characteristic of this special lady. Sofia began her life the fifth of eight children born to Anton and Catharina Konst in Oosterblokker, NH, Netherlands. Her father had a carpentry business and her mother ran a grocery store out of the front of the family home. After graduating Grade 7, Sofie went to homemakers school for two years where she gained wonderful skills that she used so well through the rest of her life. She lived much of her childhood during the occupation of Holland, a time when her father was heavily involved in the Dutch Resistance; her mother died after a prolonged illness in 1949 before Sofie turned 17. The family immigrated to Canada four years later, arriving by ship in Halifax and then travelling by train across the land. They arrived in Smithers on March 10, 1953 (amazingly, 60 years later to the day, she completed her final journey to her eternal home). One month later Sofia married her sweetheart, Nicholaas DeWit, in a triple marriage which included her sister, Alice, and older brother, John. The DeWit family grew quickly, as on the day of Sofia and Nick’s fourth wedding anniversary they welcomed their third son, Nick Jr, little brother to Tony and Johnny, who were two and three years old. During these years Nick worked in sawmill bush camps, and Sofie loved the rustic life, enjoying the camaraderie with other wives who became her lifelong friends. A home was built in Smithers, and two more children completed the family, Peter in 1963 and Lynda in 1968. To supplement the family income, Sofia did janitorial work and housekeeping. There was a move to Houston for several years where Nick worked at a mill and she chambermaided at the Pleasant Valley Motel, at one time taking over the managerial position while the owners went on vacation. In 1974, however, Nick was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. Much later Sofie told Peter that when she received the news of his father’s illness, she went into her bedroom and let out a deep horrible scream, when that was over, she kneeled and asked Jesus for his help. The family moved back to Smithers to be close to the support and care of relatives. Sofia got on at BVD Hospital where she worked for 20 years while caring for her husband and family, and becoming a happily devoted grandmother (Oma). She was known for her prolific knitting and crocheting that kept all the family warm with sweaters, toques, mitts, and afghans, as well, she did fine handwork including embroidery, needlepoint and lace doilies. Eventually Nick had to be hospitalized and later he was a resident at the Bulkley Lodge. The dedication and care that Sofie showed through all those years until his death in 2001 was a beautiful testament to our family and the community of unselfish commitment and love. Sofie leaves her five children, each one so dear to her, and their families, including 15 grandchildren and four greatgrandchildren; sisters Agnes Derksen and Tina Konst; brother Jos Konst and sister-in-law, Vera; and many nieces and nephews. She loved us all so well! Goodbye Mom, Oma, Sister, Auntie, Friend . . . until we meet again, we’ll miss you!
Adriana Janna Dieleman was born June 16, 1922 in Zaamslag in Zeeland, Netherlands. She grew up on a farm just outside of Axel, Zeeland. She was third in a family of six children. All of her siblings preceded her in death. In 1946, after World War II, she married Francois van Cadsand. In 1949, their first child, Sara Jacomina, was born, followed by Meeuwis (Marvin) in 1952. When Marvin was only two months old, the family immigrated to Canada. Their destination in Canada was the Bulkley Valley because Jane had an uncle and aunt living on a farm on Hungry Hill. These were the family’s only relatives in Canada. The family has many fond memories of special celebrations at the Dieleman farm. With her husband working in the logging industry, the small family lived in various places in northwest B.C., including Barrett, Houston, Telkwa and Kitwanga. In 1961, while in Kitwanga, Peter John was born. A year later, in 1962, the family was devastated when Jane’s husband Francois died following an operation in Kitimat. They had been married for only 16 years, and had been in Canada for only 10. Some of Jane’s friends and relatives counseled he to return to Holland, where she had more family, but she was insistent that Canada was now her home, and she said, “I would miss the mountains.” With her three children, she moved to Smithers in 1963 where she had a rooming house built on King St. Over the years, the rooming house provided a home for many people. In 1980, Jane had Bert Haar build a new house for her and Peter on 10th Avenue. It was her home for the next 32 years. Last year, as her health was failing, she moved to Bulkley Valley District Hospital and remained there until she went to be with the Lord Tuesday, March 5. It was a beautiful, clear, calm day with the sun shining brilliantly. Shortly before she died, the nurses turned her to face the window with a view of the mountains that she loved. She passed away peacefully just before noon, with her children at her side. Throughout her life, through good times and in adversity, she lived by faith in her Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. She will be missed by her family and friends, in Canada and in Holland. She always maintained a close relationship with relatives in Holland, writing regularly, visiting several times and welcoming visitors from “the old country.” We will miss her keen interest in our lives, her positive outlook and many other things that brought joy and laughter. Thank you to Dr. Flynn, the nurses and the rest of the staff at BV District Hospital. You made her last months and days the best that they could be. We will always be grateful for your gentle ways and caring words. The van Cadsands

Small political parties begin staking out turf ahead of election
By Tom Fletcher Victoria/Black Press
As the NDP widens its lead over the governing B.C. Liberal Party in a new poll, the B.C. Conservatives and B.C. Green Party are hoping an early rollout of their policy platforms will help their support grow. An Angus Reid Public Opinion poll released Thursday showed the NDP the choice of 48 per cent of decided voters, up one point since February. The B.C. Liberals were down three points to 28 per cent of decided voters. The B.C. Conservatives and B.C. Greens were both up slightly in voter intention, tied at 11 per cent support. The poll surveyed 809 B.C. adults March 18 and 19, claiming

a margin of error of plus or minus 3.5 per cent. The B.C. Conservatives released their “pre-election platform” Thursday, describing it as a “living document” that could change before the May 14 provincial election. It devotes much of its 28 pages to criticizing the province’s 20-year record on taxes, spending and debt. As party leader John Cummins has signalled, the platform promises the elimination of the five-year-old carbon tax on fossil fuels. It emphasizes the disproportionate impact the tax has on rural and northern parts of B.C., but does not specify if offsetting income tax cuts would be reversed to make up the revenue to the province. The B.C. Conservative pledge to balance budgets is emphasized, but the platform doesn’t identify any reduced spending or tax increases. It decries the low health

care spending relative to other provinces, and also calls for an unspecified increase in justice system budgets. The B.C. Green Party’s 40-page platform contains many promises, from creating “green-collar jobs” to doubling B.C.’s park area to 20 per cent over the next 100 years. The Green platform is also described as a “living document,” released last November and updated at the end of January. It also lacks costing for an array of costly policies, including 24-hour medical clinics in rural areas and replacing all existing income assistance programs with a “guaranteed liveable income” for everyone. The Greens also vow to reduce taxes on businesses that promote health, phase out medical premiums and eliminate gambling in B.C.
