Province recommends rejecting Enbridge By Sam Redding Omineca Express As of Friday, May 26 B.C. has recommended rejecting the Enbridge Northern Gateway pipeline in its submission to the federal environmental panel. “British Columbia thoroughly reviewed all of the evidence and submissions made to the panel and asked substantive questions about the project including its route, spill response capacity and financial structure to handle any incidents,” said Environment Minister Terry Lake in a press release. “Our questions were not satisfactorily answered during these hearings.” “Northern Gateway has said that they would pro-

vide effective spill response in all cases. However, they have presented little evidence as to how they will respond,” Lake said on Friday. “For that reason, our government cannot support the issuance of a certificate for the pipeline as it was presented to the Joint Review Panel.” MLA John Rustad agrees with Lake. “Enbridge and what its put forward in its current form has not met the five conditions yet and my hope is that [they] have an opportunity to do some work to meet these conditions.” NDP Leader Adrian Dix said that, although welcome news, the Liberal decision is “a case of too little, too late.” In a press release on Friday, May 31, Dix said “The B.C. Liberals signed away decision-making authority to Ottawa in 2010 and that has not changed. We know Ottawa continues to support the project, so saying ‘no’ today is a toothless gesture and the Liberals know it.” This doesn’t affect other pipeline projects such Omineca Express photo as the Kinder Morgan Trans Mountain pipeline
expansion or the Kitimat Clean project, those will be judged on their own merits and on the province’s five key conditions. Those conditions include oil spill prevention and response on both land and water, completion of the environmental review process, addressing Aboriginal rights and treaties, and that B.C. receive a fair share of the profits. Nathan Cullen, MP for Skeena--Bulkley Valley, submitted his final arguments to the Joint Review Panel on Friday as well. “If this project proceeds,” said Cullen in a media release. “It’s an indication that this abusive process by the government and these reckless proposals by Enbridge can become the new norm. It tells us that this can and will happen anywhere in Canada – no matter the impact on the environment or the communities, or what kind of reputation the company has.” British Columbia will be presenting oral final arguments to the Joint Review Panel when hearings recommence in Terrace on June 17, based on B.C.’s final written submission.

BC Gun Amnesty Month Running from June 1 to 30, B.C. RCMP are encouraging the public to call their local police to pick up unwanted firearms, weapons and ammunition. The Gun Amnesty program is for anyone with unlicensed or un-
used firearms to bring them in guilt-free and get rid of them. Do not drop off any items at police departments. “It just gives people a chance, its probably been weighing on their mind for a long time,�
said Sgt. Jason Keays Vanderhoof RCMP. “We’re not out to chop up everybody’s guns, we’re just trying to make the streets safer. People are also encouraged to ask a local gun collector because their ancient rifle might
be something very valuable that they want to pass on, provided they can legally pass it on. “This amnesty is a chance to take guns and ammunition out of homes and off our streets, and make our province safer for ev-
eryone. It’s an important partnership between police and British Columbians as we work together to minimize needless and avoidable tragedies,� said Shirley Bond, Minister of Justice and Attorney General.
Intern coming to local government This year, for the first time ever, UNBC graduates will be part of a program introducing them to local governments. “The program was developed in response to communities in central and northern B.C. that were having challenges with succession planning and developing future managers and future chief administrative officers,� said Janine North, CEO of the Northern Development Initiative Trust.
The new local government management internship program is designed to help young people discover and prepare for careers in local government. All candidates for the internship have to be committed to staying and working in northern B.C. One lucky graduate is coming to Vanderhoof this June. The Vanderhoof local government will receive a grant of $35,000 to pay for the interns salary. Gavin Ireland, a po-
litical science graduate, spent a month in Prince George, receiving leadership, communications and economic development training. “I was extremely happy that Vanderhoof chose me,� said Ireland. “I’m very glad I’m going, I’ve only been there a couple times but every time I have, everyone has been really nice.� An example of what Gavin will be working on is updating both the external and internal com-

Underage drinking A 17 year old female was picked up from Valhalla High school in Vanderhoof for underage drinking on Monday, May 27. She was described as extremely intoxicated and possibly on some kind of medication, RCMP were called in to assist BC Ambulance but the girl was stable.
Inappropriate touching
www.ominecaexpress.com A3
Two incidents of inappropriate touching occurred in downtown Vanderhoof Sunday, May 26. The incidents occurred in a populated area near Stewart Street at about 2 p.m. Two females in their late 20s were grabbed from behind by a man believed by RCMP to be mentally disabled. The man, although described by his mental health worker as having mental and social disorders, is non-violent and easily frightened off. One woman that was touched slapped him and he immediately stopped and ran away. The man has been remanded into custody after being charged with sexual assault. He will be held in a psychiatric facility pending a 30 day psych assessment.
The Nechako white sturgeon is already endangered and current efforts to save them may be futile, according to a letter written by a committee dedicated to preserving the fish. The letter implies that the sturgeon can no longer reproduce successfully and right now extinction is inevitable unless something is done. Sent to Lynda Currie, chair of the Nechako Environmental Enhancement Fund Management Committee, the letter suggests that money spent on hatchery releases of white sturgeon will be ineffective. The paper was written by the executive of the former Nechako Watershed Council. Mayor Gerry Thiessen said that he agreed with a lot of the ideas presented in the paper, but added that the paper is still a personal opinion of three people. “There’s something we can learn from this, my hope is that the sturgeon recovery centre will be a place that we will learn from,” said Thiessen. “We will say okay, this is what happens to a river when we make a decision as dramatic as the Kenney Dam was on the Nechako River. “As a person who was born, raised, and lived on the Nechako river for most of my life… we need to learn from what we do when we make decisions that gives industry access to resources as important to us as the Nechako river.” The Nechako White Sturgeon Conservation Hatchery presents the solution of introducing juvenile sturgeon into the river to combat the losses. However, this solution is flawed, states the paper. “Aside from the trite maxim that hatchery-reared fish are a weak substitute for naturally-reared populations, releasing juvenile sturgeon into an environment in which the species cannot survive demonstrates very serious planning flaws. While the hatchery program is a valid and necessary interim measure, it does nothing whatever to address other issues related to the ecological health of the river.” The paper’s main argument is that because the environment is so hostile for the sturgeon, the existing measures to help the fish are futile.

Solutions must start with restoring the fish’s habitat and creating more natural seasonal flows in the river. But the Nechako Watershed Council’s argument isn’t unique in suggesting the hatchery will not be enough to save the Nechako white sturgeon. According to Don Peterson, president of the Freshwater Fisheries Society of BC, the hatchery has long been known as only a shortterm measure to protect against the extinction of the species. “For them to come out and say that this hatchery isn’t going to save the sturgeon because it’s a habitat issue, that’s not news, thats been known for a long time,” said Peterson. “The recovery plan was written 10 years ago. The fact of the matter is, without the hatchery to capture the genetic material present in these last mature sturgeon that exist in the river, 40 years of age or older, there won’t be any sturgeon to live in that habitat in the future. It’s buying time and that’s the strategy with the hatchery.” The hatchery is expected to be up
and running by next spring and will be functioning for about 30 years while work continues on resolving the habitat issues. Water flows in the Nechako River are governed by the 1987 and 1997 settlement agreements with Rio Tinto Alcan. In the paper: “The 1987 Settlement Agreement established flow levels to protect Chinook salmon and to control summer water temperatures for migrating sockeye.” The paper further suggests that the $100 million Nechako Environmental Enhancement Fund (NEEF) is an ineffective investment, like treating only the symptoms of a disease rather than the disease itself. The NEEF funding is to be used for working on the Nechako Watershed area, including a Cold Water Release Facility at Kenney Dam and a small portion of that funding to go towards a sturgeon hatchery. The only way to really save the habitat is to shut down the dam, and thereby Kitimat, which isn’t going to happen in the near future. “Even if that were to happen, it
would likely take decades for the river to repair itself, so you know that’s not happening,” said Peterson. But Peterson stated, the water release facility will provide benefits to the Nechako, it will definitely be an improvement. Just maybe not enough of one. “I think it would be an incredible shame to lose a species thats been here for millions of years. If they’ve been here for that long, to allow it to totally drop off the face of the planet, to not fight for it, would be a real shame,” said Thiessen. The white sturgeon is North America’s largest freshwater fish, it can reach up to 6 metres in length in southern B.C. and 3 metres in the Nechako. The Nechako white sturgeon is a genetically unique species that can live for more than 100 years and there are fewer than 300 fish left in the river. Attempts were made to contact Lynda Currie, Chair of the NEEF Management Committee, but she did not respond to interview requests by press time.

Why close full schools Minister, My name is Kari Rae and I wanted to make you aware of some things that are happening in our school district: District 91, Nechako Lakes and specifically the town of Vanderhoof. School District 91 administration has put forward options for increasing the utilization of the schools in our town. All scenarios considered, except maintaining the status quo, involve closing two schools that are full and that maintain high academic standards and achievement. These are sister schools; Prairiedale Elementary, which is K-3 and Sinkutview Elementary, which is 4-7. These schools have huge parental involvement and support and are an integral part of the community. The schools’ closures are considered to increase the utilization rate at another school in town that is currently not fully utilized and is in need of extensive repair. The district administration has expressed an interest in trying to get a new school to replace this one but we have been told it will not be in the near future. As parents we feel our full and thriving schools are going to be closed to overfill an under-utilized one in the hopes that 10 years down the road a new school will be realized. The district administration had been reluctant to share information during the community consultation period that has now ended. Remarks from the superintendant and school board chair have belittled the parents efforts to maintain our children’s positive eductional environment. The matter is now with the board of trustees to vote upon, which could happen as soon as June 17th. This is dependant upon whether the district provides requested information to the trustees to enable them to make an informed decision. I feel this is information your office should have. We have done much research on the topic of school closures over the past several months and can find no reference or precendance for the closure of full schools. We realize that school closures have been a reality in many communities and these were due to declining enrollment and underutilization in those schools. Why is this school district closing full schools? This is not a legacy to be proud of. Thank you for your time and if you have further questions please feel free to contact me. Regards: Kari Rae

Letter to the Editor
Unacknowledge history Editor Recently I was fortunate enough to attend a 100 year Celebration of three pioneer families in the Vanderhoof area, the Reid family, the Armishaw family and the Gilbert family. These three families walked into the Vanderhoof area with covered wagons, arriving on May 24, 1913. Three notable families, I might add. Upon arriving to the outskirts of town we had expected some sign on a billboard expressing ‘Congratulations and Welcome’ to greet the outof-town folk, and/or those past residents returning to join in the celebration. But no, NOTHING. Even as we traveled throughout town we were amazed there was no mention of the gathering at all. Shame on the township of Vanderhoof! Over time each of these families have contributed to the community and helped shape the town of Vanderhoof and surrounding area. I feel you, the council missed a golden opportunity to promote the town and it’s colourful history. Missed an opportunity for the whole town to honour and embrace it’s heritage, where they could take pride in the history of the area and celebrate along with the families. I am not suggesting that the rest of the town would
have had to be included in all the luncheons/dinners. But if the event had been promoted to some degree the towns people could have attended some of the tours. It would have been nice to have some official come out and say a few words. I heard at one point there was a bit of a parade planned but that was discouraged. We are reminded all the time that our history is what shapes our present and our future. This is tangible history, with many descendants still living in around the area. All the planning and hard work fell on the shoulders of Patricia Griffith and her cohort Nadine Frenkel. These two women went to an incredible amount of work and did an amazing job!! All on there own. Shame on you! There is an old adage that says ‘it takes a village to raise a child’ well this was an opportunity for the children to acknowledge the village and the village to say thank you to three good and faithful children. Vanderhoof dropped the ball. Sincerely, (Mrs.) Corinne Mufford

Local Air Cadet Squadron review The local air cadet squadron held their 30th annual ceremonial review on Wednesday, May 29. The cadets were reviewed by the officer in charge of all cadets in B.C. Commander Bates, Glenda Wasylenko of the Air Cadet League of Canada, their commanding officer Captain John Callaghan and Mary-Lou Hascarl the 899 sponsor-
ing chair. “The [cadet] program offers something to everyone no matter what their interest,” said Hascarl to the assembled cadets. “Remember that you are successful because of the skills and determination that you learned from this program.” Awards were given out to members of the
899 Vanderhoof Royal Canadian Air Cadet Squadron in recognition of their many accomplishments, including the Legion Medal of Excellence. This was awarded to Sgt. Michael Ray. Recognition was also given to the family of the late Officer Cadet Leanne Burchill who was tragically killed in a car crash last March.
Vanderhoof Air Cadet awarded scholarship
For the first time in twelve years, a cadet from 899 Vanderhoof Squadron has been awarded a scholarship to attend the Regional Gliding School (Pacific) in Comox, B.C. Sergeant Mike Ray was one of 45 cadets selected from across British Columbia to attend the intensive 7 week course that is paid for by the Royal Canadian Air Cadets. While any person enrolled in the Air Cadet program may apply for the scholarship, qualification requires a great deal of hard work and dedication. Recipients must complete a 10 week online ground school course, pass a written exam, pass an aviation medical exam, be interviewed by a three person board, be involved in community activities and maintain good grades in school.
Sergeant Ray, a 3 year member of the 899 Vanderhoof Air Cadet Squadron, is a grade 11 student at Fraser Lake Elementary Secondary School. His ultimate goal is to become a commercial airline pilot. The hands-on experience in the basics of flying that Mike will attain through this scholarship course will give him a significant boost toward achieving this goal. The course will be demanding, requiring the students to do classroom training in the mornings and practice flying a glider in the afternoons. It is quite a commitment, but Mike is certainly up to the challenge. The Air Cadet program is open to all girls and boys between the ages of 12 and 18. In addition to many other activities offered to the youth enrolled, the program also provides the oppor-

tunity twice each year for the Cadets to participate in gliding or flying training. This training is free for members to take part in. For those Cadets who discover that flying interests them, opportunities are available to receive flying training through the Royal Canadian Air Cadets which is what Mike Ray is pursuing. Other aviation career opportunities in fields such as aviation mechanics and air traffic control are also available through the Air Cadet program. If flying is not their specific interest, then training is available for cadets in leadership skills and wilderness survival. Certainly, a terrific addition to any person’s resume.

The answers were not what the students expected and that taught them that pre-conceived expectations and what actual results are can be different and that is why we run a survey.

Invasive ‘weeds’ The last article we talked about how someone’s weeds are another’s treasure and how some ‘weeds’ are actually of great benefit for health and survival! There are some plants that when introduced to a new area become invasive, no matter how great they may be for health purposes or otherwise, they can have a negative impact on the surrounding area. Invasive weeds invade, they can choke out existing plants, they can take over more than just a garden plot but & spread hundreds of miles, for those gardeners out there imagine planting some mint in a garden... you would know how its roots can spread and take over if you are not diligent, or plant it in a container, They can also cause some harm to wildlife and some farm animals who may ingest them. When gardening this year, try to be aware of the plants you are buying, planting and seeding! Take a garden tour here in Vanderhoof, meet your neighbouring gardens, respect your neighbours planting decisions, but also if you notice any invasive plants, perhaps let your neighbour know to call the weed hotline to get some good tips on how to best deal with the situation. The best way to get rid of weeds is not weed killer, which may damage neighbouring plants, or endanger local wildlife. If you happen to be growing plants that are considered invasive, make sure to take proper precautions about their spreading, and try to keep them contained! Watch for: Leafy spurge, diffuse knapweed, field scabrous, common tansy, marsh plume thistle, policeman’s helmet, orange/yellow hawkweed, spotted knapweed, hounds tongue, scentless chamomile, Japanese knotweed, scotch broom, yellow toadflax, baby’s’ breath etc. Reporting locations may be of help to the northwest invasive plant council.

Simple ways to save on your wedding
According to a 2012 report in Brides magazine, the average American couple spends just under $27,000 on their wedding, while their northern neighbors in Canada spend slightly more than $23,000 on average for their big day. Clearly couples, regardless of which side of the border they call home, can expect to invest a substantial amount of money for their weddings. While many couples find the cost of a wedding is well worth it, others would like to find ways to save so their big day isn’t a budget-buster. Such savings aren’t always easy to come by, especially for couples with a very distinctive picture in mind of what their wedding should be. How-
ever, even couples strongly committed to a certain wedding style might change their minds once they realize how much such a dream wedding will cost. For those couples as well as couples who simply want to save some money, the following are a few ideas to avoid busting your budget without venturing too far from your dream wedding. * Trim the guest list. The guest list is perhaps the easiest place to begin saving money. Many reception halls will charge by the head, so consider if you really need to invite 150 guests or if 100 will do. Such trimming can save you a substantial amount of money. For example, a banquet hall that charges $200 per guest
will cost couples with a guest list of 150 $30,000 for the reception alone. Cutting that guest list to 100 reduces that cost by $10,000. When putting together the guest list, remove those candidates who would best be described as acquaintances. This can include coworkers with whom you don’t socialize, as well as old college friends to whom you rarely speak. Distant cousins you haven’t spoken to in years can also be cut from the list. * Don’t go overboard on the gown. Styles are everchanging, so there’s a strong chance brides won’t be passing down their wedding gowns to their own daughters someday. What’s popular

Catering to your taste
now will likely seem outdated by the time your daughter walks down the aisle. Keep this in mind when shopping for a wedding dress, which can be made in the same design as the one you try on but with cheaper fabrics that are a fraction of the cost. The disparity between gown costs in the United States and Canada should paint a good picture of how easily brides can save money on their gowns. According to a survey of wedding trends conducted by Weddingbells, an online resource for Canadian brides, the average Canadian bride in 2011 spent just under $1,800 on her wedding gown, while the average American bride spends roughly $1,100 on her gown. Though the reasons for that disparity are unclear, it’s safe to say there are savings to be had for brides who don’t want to break the bank paying for their wedding gowns. * Get hitched in the off-season.

couples prefer to get married sometime between the months of May through October. During these months, venues and vendors, including limousine services, caterers, photographers, musicians, and deejays, are more expensive. If you are willing to switch your wedding date to the off-season you can save a substantial amount of money. In addition, you likely won’t face as much competition for the best venues and vendors as you will during the peak wedding season. * Trim your beverage budget. The bar tab at the end of the reception can be considerable, but there are ways to save money while ensuring your guests can still toast you and yours with a few libations. Rather than offering a full bar, limit the choices to beer and wine, which will be perfectly acceptable to most guests anyway. In addition, rather than paying the caterer for the wine, buy your own and you’ll save a considerable amount of money. You may have to pay the caterer a fee to pour the wine, but that fee is negligible compared to what you’d pay the company to provide the wine. * Choose a buffet-style dinner over waiter service. Many guests will no doubt prefer a buffetstyle dinner instead of waiter service, so take advantage of that and choose a more affordable buffet-style dinner that allows diners to choose their own entrees and side dishes. When it comes to trimming wedding costs, couples will have to make compromises. But those compromises don’t have to come at the cost of a beautiful and memorable event.

Wedding Services
Variety is the spice of life with wedding cuisine packages. Couples can typically choose to offer a meat dish, a poultry and a seafood. This caters to a wide variety of diners. It is important for couples to recognize that many people have food allergies or are on restricted diets. While it may not be possible to provide for everyone’s specific requirements, it is possible to make some accommodations First, ask the catering manager how his company provides for guests who are vegetarians or vegans. Ensure that the meal will not be simply a bunch of garnishes and vegetable side dishes lumped together. In addition, couples should recognize that many people have now adopted gluten-free lifestyles. More and more restaurants and establishments have expanded their offerings to include gluten-free items, so it is important for the bride and groom to confirm. People who are diabetic and must limit their consumption of sugars and carbohydrates may appreciate a selection of sugar-free desserts or lower carbohydrate foods. When couples focus on meeting the needs of their guests, it shows they have put in the effort to make everyone feel welcome and comfortable at the wedding. Couples who have the environment in mind can choose to serve organic foods and look to catering facilities that purchase

some changes. Varying the time of day that the wedding is held can enable a brunch or luncheon wedding to take place. These foods are often less expensive and labor-intensive to prepare, and therefore the cost savings are passed down to the bride and groom. Some couples opt for a cocktail and hors d’oeuvre-only reception -- which should clearly be indicated on the invitation so that guests can plan accordingly. An informal wedding may feature only a selection of desserts and specialty liquors. This may be the least expensive option. Food is an important factor at a wedding and it is in a couple’s best interest to ensure that the food served is tasty, full of variety and acceptable to the majority of the guests who will be attending the reception.
Van de foods from local vendors and farms. If a banquet hall does not make such concessions, ask if specialty items that benefit organic and local food producers can be brought in. Some caterers will be happy to make the change, but it will likely affect the cost of the wedding package to do so. Food and drink will be some of the most costly portions of a wedding, and couples who are interested in keeping costs down can still offer quality foods if they make

Weddings are a celebration wherein guests look forward to the reception as much as the actual ceremony, and the food served at the wedding is often hotly anticipated. Wedding receptions feature a bevy of different foods to tempt the palates of those in attendance. From appetizers served during the cocktail hour to the last crumb of cake, food plays a big role in a wedding reception. Choosing foods for a reception can take a little forethought, especially when the wedding party is especially large. The following are a few suggestions to ensure most guests are happy with the menu selections. The first rule of thumb is variety. As much as budget allows, give guests the choice over what they dine on. During the cocktail hour -- if there is one -- couples can play with many different tastes and offerings. For those who want to be creative, this is the time to do so. Exotic flavors can be served alongside more traditional offerings that guests recognize. For example, offer Asian fusion appetizers that may have spice alongside more traditional items, like miniature quiches. During the main course of the meal, give guests a few options. Most catering facilities will offer suggestions in their meal

Kids will fly high on new skateboard park Fraser Lake is finally getting a skateboard park. After years of hoping and waiting, Fraser Lake Skateboard Club will be off the sidewalks and onto the concrete ramps. The park is located by the baseball diamonds on the east side of town and is projected to finish on Canada day, July 1. The Skateboard Club will hold a lunch and sell hot dogs and T-shirts. “They’re alway riding on the sidewalk or on some parking space,” said Michael Walsh of the Fraser Lake skateboard club. “There’s probably about two dozen or more and they don’t have much space to do it in. This will be just one more way for families to enjoy themselves instead of getting up and moving away to some town

with more to do.” Walsh is also attempting to hold an art contest to try and get some nice artwork on the park. Vanderhoof Mayor Gerry Thiessen has stated that he would love to see a skateboard park in Vanderhoof.
“I would like to hear from young people in the community that would use a skate park. I think that there’s a real need to have some recreation that’s not an organized recreation.” Thiessen would like to encourage the safe use of skateboards. He
hopes to see some representation coming to council and presenting a need for such a park as its very difficult to build something unless you can see that people would use it. Dispelling worries that the skatepark might increase drug use and crime, Thies-

BC SPCA your first adoption option! Missy is a luxurious, long-haired cat with striking blue eyes. If this were not enticing enough, Missy is also polydactal; extra toes for an extraordinary lady. Unfortunately, Missy was outside for quite a while, and came into us severely matted. We were more concerned with removing the painful mats than maintaining her beautiful haircut, so she has some unsightly bare spots where the mats used to be. The good news is, after removing the mats, she began to trust us more and started to purr and snuggle while being pet. Missy is still a little shy and would do best in a quiet home, free of children, dogs and chaos. She needs a warm, loving lap to lay in and someone who will brush and pet her and keep her coat beautiful and mat free. Please come and meet Missy as soon as possible as she is one of a kind. Missy is 4 year old spayed female, and she is ready to be adopted.

FSJ Youth Soccer Association hosts regional mini soccer tournament Thirty-six regional teams from Vanderhoof, Fraser Lake, Burns Lake, and Fort St. James filled the high school soccer fields on May 25 for the annual Active Start Soccer Festival held and hosted by the Fort St. James Youth Soccer Association. A total of 700 players aged four to 10, parents, coaches, volunteers, and spectators participated in the tournament. With an emphasis on fun, participation, and good sportsmanship, the teams did not play for a trophy but rather to develop their skills as a team and as individual players in a competitive setting. The games were a success thanks to our local businesses Overwaitea Foods for donating complimentary ice cream sundaes to the players of the tournament, Integris Credit Union for providing our local teams and their coaches with reusable water bottles, and the youth and adult volunteers who organized the tournament concession and refereed the games. Fraser Lake will be hosting the next divisional tournament on June 21 for player aged 11-18. If you are someone with an interest in refereeing soccer games for mini and divisional level games within Fort St. James and the region, or are a parent, coach, or player who wants some extra knowledge on the game, the Soccer Club will be hosting a referee clinic for all interested. Contact Dave at dbirdi@fortstjames.ca for more information.
