NEWS BRIEFS Break and enter foiled
Two would-be thieves reportedly were caught in the act on April 28 at Suspender’s. RCMP received a call of a possible break and enter after the alarm at the store was tripped. Within seven minutes, RCMP were at the store, and one suspect was caught immediately by the members, with a second fleeing into the bushes. A search in the forest then led to the apprehension of the second suspect. The pair had reportedly gained entry into the store via an office window, taken alcohol, cigarettes and some coins in cash amounting to about $140. The two suspects are both youth and can not be identified, and have been released until they appear in court to face charges of break and enter with intent to commit theft and theft under $5,000.
Mind your neighbour As the warmer weather has more people out enjoying their yards and the fresh air, RCMP have been responding to more and more noise complaints in the community. RCMP would like residents of the area to remember to be respectful of their neighbours and reduce the noise level after hours.

Fort St. James RCMP report On May 9 at around 11 p.m., the RCMP were called to assist the Ministry of Children and Families in apprehending children from a home. In the process of taking the children into custody, RCMP discovered a male allegedly in breach of conditions who then fled the scene. The suspect was apprehended and appeared in court on charges of breach of an undertaking. May 10 at around 5 p.m., RCMP were called to a complaint of a domestic dispute in the downtown when a man was reportedly seen kicking a woman. Upon arrival, RCMP determined the woman was not seriously injured in the incident, however the male was allegedly in breach of conditions and was subsequently charged with assault and failing to comply with a probation order.
As a result of the incident, Wesley Duncan pled guilty in court and was sentenced to 42 day in custody for assault and 45 days for breach of conditions, followed by an additional year of probation. May 11 at 4 p.m., RCMP were called to a report of a green two-door car driving erratically in the ball diamond area. The vehicle reportedly had no licence plates as well. RCMP then located the vehicle and stopped the male driver, who then was found not to have a valid licence, the vehicle had no insurance and was not registered. The incident resulted in Motor Vehicle Act charges against the driver. RCMP also noticed open liquor in the vehicle and the driver was given a roadside screening for blood alcohol, which he failed. The driver was then
arrested for impaired driving and has been released on a promise to appear in court. The vehicle was towed. On May 13 at 9:05 a.m., RCMP responded to a reported break and enter on the Yekooche Reserve. Some cigarettes and food items were reputedly taken from a home on the reserve. Anyone with any information please call RCMP or Crimestoppers at 1-800-222-8477. On May 13 at 10 a.m., RCMP were made aware of the theft of a piece of farm equipment parked in a rural area south of Fort St. James. A Rome breaking disc was reportedly taken from a property near Dog Creek between May 1 and May 8. Anyone with any information related to the case contact RCMP or Crimestoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

the time and place of residential schools.A team of six, including Newman, will travel on gathering trips to different parts of Canada. “We would certainly like to see widespread participation and have the public engage all across the country, all ages and backgrounds,” said Newman. “It is open to anybody who has connection or want to participate in any way.” Newman said people can contribute items that they may have kept from those days and this can include stories of what happened. They are building a virtual version of the blanket, an exact replica. People will be able to click on an image and interact in a different way than with the physical blanket. Continued on Page 8
To speak of things that happened in residential schools only brings them back into focus and many who were sent to these places rarely talk about their experiences.

Courier Fort youth part of mental health study
Contributed Last September three researchers from the University of British Columbia: Joy Johnson, Emily Jenkins and Robin Repta, travelled to Fort St. James to interview youth in grades eight through twelve about their experiences with emotional distress and resilience. This study was undertaken to better understand the stories behind statistics indicating that 30 percent (or three in every ten) youth experience some degree of emotional distress. As part of the Researching Adolescent Distress and Resilience (RADAR) study, the team interviewed 27 young people, met with two
youth groups and spoke with various community stakeholders. In mid-May, Jenkins and Repta returned to Fort St. James on May 14 to host a “Community Forum on Youth Mental Health� at Fort St. James Secondary to share the findings from this study. The forum was intended to provide a venue for dialogue regarding this important topic and to gain a variety of perspectives on how, as a community, efforts could be made to improve the mental health outcomes of youth in Fort St James. All community members were welcome to attend. Ideas that came

New Gold open houses Nearly 250 people attended New Gold’s Blackwater Project open houses, held May 6-14 in Vanderhoof, Fraser Lake, Burns Lake, Quesnel, Fort St. James and Prince George. “The open houses were a great opportunity to meet with people and learn more about their family, business and community interests,” said New Gold Director of Environment and Sustainability Tim Bekhuys. “They also provided us with important feedback we can use to design the project in a way that leaves lasting benefits to the region.” At the open houses, partici-
pants expressed interest in jobs and contract opportunities, and asked questions about environmental management and local training initiatives. Blackwater Project staff was on hand to answer questions and local businesses had the chance to add their names to a directory of potential suppliers New Gold is building to support local contracting. In 2012, New Gold reports the company spent more than $100 million on goods and services in the local region. Following the environmental review process, New Gold expects to hire 1,000 to 1,500 (peak) work-
ers during construction and 500 full time workers to operate the mine. The Blackwater Gold Project New Gold’s Blackwater Gold Project is located along the northern flanks of Mt. Davidson in the Nechako Plateau, approximately 160 km southwest of Prince George and 110 km southwest of Vanderhoof. The proposed mine is currently in the advanced exploration phase, with construction forecast to begin in 2015 and production in 2017. The project is subject to a federal and provincial environmental review.
Witness Blanket
From Page 5 “With the blanket I can hopefully make a powerful legacy but I can’t put all (the stories) into it. This will be another dimension crossing the boundaries between art and digital media,” said Newman. “It means anyone can visit the blanket.” The stories, which won’t be part of the Witness Blanket itself, will be there for posterity. Stories like the ones Carey got to hear from his father. Victor got kicked out of residential school in Mission when the guys got together to get into the wine cellar. The smallest of the group was sent in through a window and pulled out some holy wine. They went into a field and under an apple tree they polished off the wine. When they were found out, he’s not sure how many others were kicked out of residential school. That’s one of humourous stories Carey’s father tells. “That’s a lighthearted impression of dad at residential school,” said Newman. “He had his own rebellious way of dealing with it.” The others weren’t so funny.

Cancer clinic celebrates patients and community LEFT: Henry van Andel (in wheelchair) attended a tea held to celebrate the Ruby van Andel Community Cancer Clinic this month. Henry van Andel's generous donation of $200,000 helped make the clinic possible.
Submitted Ruby Ellen van Andel Community Cancer Clinic held a tea this month. The purpose of the tea was to honor the patients and their families for the struggle they contend with and to thank the community for ongoing support. The wall was decorated with a sun, grass, flowers and birds to represent donated monies and some butterflies were shown in honour of those that have passed on that were treated at the clinic. There were a few speeches made by some of the survivors. The clinic has been open for five years thanks to a generous donation of $200,000 in 2008 from Henry van Andel. It has grown from giving 262 chemotherapy medications in 2008 to 726 in 2012 and serves Fraser Lake, Fort St James, Vanderhoof and Burns Lake. ARO Automotive gave a $25,000 donation and Gord Armstrong presented the cheque for the Cancer clinic to Marilyn Moore from St John Hospital Auxiliary (picture). The Fraser Lake support group has raised over $30,000 in a couple of years and has donated $10,000 to “outfit” a room at the Kordyban Lodge in Prince George for patients that need radiation. Another $10,000 is being held for the Cancer clinic for a new IV pump. The Rose Bowl florist in Vanderhoof also has brought the clinic a fresh vase of flowers every week for the last five years. This is enjoyed immensely by patients and staff alike. The Vanderhoof Golfers Association donates money made from several events over the year and they have also done this consistently for the last four years.
