Judge gives GTS order to organize By Jerome Turner

RELAY REASONS

www.interior-news.com

The Gitxsan Treaty Society has essentially received a clean slate by B.C. Supreme Court Justice Mark McEwan, when he ordered them to elect a new board of directors May 31 in a Vancouver court. In his 25-page decision, McEwan gave the GTS 30 days to bring the organization into compliance with Section 85 of the B.C. Society Act. It is yet to be determined if the GTS is a legal society and the organization has until June 25 to hold an extraordinary general meeting to appoint directors, which would settle the sec. 85 matter. Beverley CliftonPercival, GTS negotiator, is relieved a decision on sec. 85 has been reached. “It’s a simple fix for the Society’s Act,” Clifton-Percival said. “We’re just going to implement what we’d already set out to do. “This is a good thing and will help us get organized. “It is now

entirely up to the Wilp members and chiefs to appoint representatives for the new GTS board.” There are currently more than 40 GTS members and only they will be able to vote for the new 12 member board, Clifton-Percival said. However, over the next two weeks any of the more than 7,000 Gitxsan can become a GTS member by being accepted by their head chief and filling out GTS paperwork. There was potential for the GTS to be dissolved entirely, but that’s been avoided by this decision and the future of the Gitxsan Nation hangs in the balance, Neil J. Sterritt, lawyer representing the Gitxsan Nation in the Delgamuukw trial, said. “If the board of directors and the chair don’t have the skills, experience and values to do the job that needs to be done then it will be business as usual,” Sterritt said. “Last year’s assessment for forensic audit told us where we’re at and if things don’t change our future is in peril.”

Town considers developer’s concerns

By Ryan Jensen Smithers/Interior News

The Town of Smithers is looking into ways to become more business friendly. At the regular May 28 council meeting, councillors Mark Bandstra and Charlie Northrup asked staff to look into how other communities in the region deal with new developments to see if changes could be made to make Smithers more open to business. The direction was in response to a story in

the May 15 issue of The Interior News in which Smithers developer and business owner Kim Tran highlighted some roadblocks he encountered in building the Sunshine Inn and Estates hotel as well as in his current residential development. Specifically, Tran mentioned the more than 100 per cent deposits required for off-site work as being one reason he will look to other communities first when considering his next development project. “I don’t say I won’t

do any commercial business here but it’s not likely I will,” Tran told The Interior News. “First you round up the money to try to put the project together, which is hard enough, then you have to put down a deposit?” The District of Houston, for example, withheld Tran’s occupancy permit until he finished the off-site work instead of asking him to come up with a couple of hundred thousand dollars in security when he built a

hotel there recently. Planner Adam Cseke explained The Town of Smithers requires a 110 per cent security deposit for off-site works in commercial developments and in residential projects, a 120 per cent security deposit is held for offsite works and a 100 per cent security deposit is needed for landscaping. “The rationale is if the developers don’t do what they say they’re going to do, then the town can take the money and do it themselves,” Cseke said.

Bandstra said he thought it would be worthwhile for staff to find out what other communities are doing in similar situations. “I was hoping we would hear back from staff on what other communities do and what’s required,” Bandstra said. “I understand the reason for a deposit, it’s to protect our interests but at the same time, I’d like to hear the full story. “I’m just looking for some more information.”

Houston students get a little more than talk about puberty By Percy N. Hébert Smithers/Interior News

Some parents at Twain Sullivan Elementary School in Houston are upset with the material covered by a public health nurse speaking to about 25 students in Grades 6 - 7. The boys and girls received the instruction separately. What was meant to be a discussion of puberty and healthy relationships, turned into a discussion of sexual positions and proper techniques to put on a condom, Amai Barden, a parent of two schoolchildren present during the classroom discussion, said. “I trusted them [teachers],” Barden said of why she decided to allow her children to take part in the presentation. Barden said it isn’t the discussion around puberty that had

her and her children upset, but rather the material covered by the public health nurse during the question and answer period. ‘Gross’ and ‘way too advanced’ is how her children described the latter part of the presentation, Barden said. Another parent, who wished to remain anonymous, was also upset with the information transmitted by the public health nurse. “She [public health nurse] screwed up,” the mother said. The problem began following the presentation when the students were invited to ask questions. Some of the questions were quite pointed and led the nurse to cover topics such as the proper technique of putting condoms on, to explain flavoured condoms were favoured for oral sex and some sexual

S Y A D LY! OuNne 5 - 15 J

positions, among others. Barden wondered why the teachers didn’t put an end to the questions when it went beyond the curriculum, beyond what the parents expected their children to learn. David Margerm, principal at TwainSullivan school, explained the subject is a difficult one to teach partly because the students usually have varying degrees of knowledge on the topic and some may ask very pointed questions. “There are going to be sensitive or controversial issues and it’s good to educate the kids, but it has to be balanced and it has to be appropriate,” Margerm said. “When you have guest speakers it’s more difficult to control.” The responsibility of dealing with

questions and how to answer questions typically lies with the public health nurse. “The teachers have become used to the health nurse being able to handle all of this stuff very effectively,” Margerm said. However, this year, the public health nurse who typically delivers the presentation on puberty is on leave. The nurse hired to fill in does have experience dealing with sex education, but it was her first presentation in an elementary school. Usually, the classroom teachers and the public health nurse will consult each other prior to the presentation. “We’re going to make sure there is a lot more consultation before,” Margerm said. “Everybody’s learned a lesson, this will not happen again.”

School district 54 assistant superintendent Michael McDiarmid agreed some of the material discussed is not prescribed under the Ministry of Education curriculum for healthy living. “It appears there was some content that was intended for older students,” McDiarmid said. “Everyone is going to be paying a lot more attention and being more thorough about how some of the content is presented and what is said.” One parent did call Northern Health to complain about some of the material presented. Northern Health communications officer Eryn Collins said staff were discussing with the school how to alleviate the concerns raised by the parent and in developing best practices to ensure a

similar situation does not arise in the future. “We’re taking this as an opportunity to learn,” Collins said. “Challenges can

come up when you’re dealing with questions from students.” For more visit www.interior-news. com.

Memories and blessings

ike many, those dear to me, family and friends have been touched by cancer and I have witnessed their struggles, triumphs and in some cases their loss to cancer. But at this time of year I focus on the positive, the battles won, so far. My dad, otherwise known as pappy-pooh, has survived four children, 11 grandchildren and even a mitt-full of great grandchildren, but more importantly he survived three different and separate cancer diagnoses. Today at the ripe and not-so-old age of 84, pappy-pooh is still puttering, slower than he used to, but he is still puttering and smiling and for that I am grateful. Then there is my dear friend Sue. I first met Sue 30 years ago, a vibrant and smart young lady finishing her master’s degree in psychology. This summer, Sue will mark the second anniversary of a mastectomy. I was there when she woke up after the operation, apprehensive as to how she would be feeling, how she would react and yes, how I was going to react. I will always be grateful to her for making it easy for me to be there for her. More recently, a colleague at Black Press also underwent surgery for cancer. It brought an unsettling quiet to the office that is usually abuzz with laughter. She is back to work, but more importantly she is healthy and I’m keeping my fingers crossed the news continues to be positive for years to come. Unfortunately, these are just some of the people I know who have been touched by the big C. Recent statistics from the BC Cancer Agency show and estimated 9,587 British Columbians will die as a result of cancer of one form or another in 2012. In the area covered by Northern Health, cancer will claim the lives of an estimated 595 people. So, it is with these thoughts that I will take part in the Smithers Relay for Life, to remember family and friends who succumbed to cancer and to count my blessings that pappy-pooh, Sue and Trina are still with us. This year’s Relay For Life, which is a community event, is set for June 8 at 1 p.m. in Chandler Park. For more information visit the Canadian Cancer Society office at 1070 Main St. Percy N.

B.C. rejects Enbridge pipeline plan

he B.C. government has recommended rejection of the Enbridge Northern Gateway oil pipeline project in its final written submission to the federal environmental panel. Environment Minister Terry Lake announced the decision Friday, two weeks after an election where pipeline politics played a key role. He said the B.C. government isn’t satisfied with the company’s plans for spill control on the twin pipeline proposed to run from northern Alberta to a tanker port at

Kitimat. “Northern Gateway has said that they would provide effective spill response in all cases,” Lake said. “However, they have presented little evidence as to how they will respond.” Lake said any heavy oil proposal would be subject to the B.C. government’s five conditions, which include spill prevention and response, aboriginal participation and a share of oil export revenues for B.C. Enbridge Northern Gateway vice-president Janet Holder said Friday the province’s position is not the end of the

GUEST VIEW Tom Fletcher discussion. “The five conditions cannot be fully met until the end of the Joint Review Panel process,” Holder said. “We are working hard to meet the conditions and earn the confidence of the

government and the people of B.C.” Ministry staff evaluated the 192 conditions proposed by the Joint Review Panel, the federal agency that will make a recommendation for permits to Ottawa next fall. The B.C. government and Northern Gateway officials will give their final oral arguments to the panel when hearings resume in Terrace on June 17. Enbridge has argued that its submissions to the federal panel included 7,000 pages of technical reports and nine separate witness panels have answered every

environmental question put to it. The panel has conducted 69 days of cross-examination of company officials by B.C. and other representatives. Lake said the B.C. government is not opposed to heavy oil pipeline projects in general, such as the pending application to twin the 60-year-old Trans Mountain pipeline from Alberta to port and refinery facilities in Burnaby and Washington state.

L etters Never mind past, look to future Editor: I’ve been reading the various letters to the Editor, regarding the First Nations; their trials, tribulations, their abuse and poverty. The wars, the history, the blame. The alcoholism, the health and welfare of their people, their children. I will be honest, I’m tired of it alI. The rehashing of history, each person supposedly “educating” the previous person who wrote to the Editor regarding the “correct” version of this history. I think we whites along with the First Nationscould learn a lot from President Obama. Most races in history have endured unmentionable horrors, the millions of Jews, the blacks, the various religious sects that continue to war on today. Focusing so much on the past, from my observation, keeps a race stagnant and unable to move to any productive and positive future. It would be a refreshing and enlightening change if there were letters that spoke of the future instead of the past; that spoke of plans, hopes and endeavors instead of continuing the blame game in history. People need to be independent and responsible, pay the same taxes, get the same breaks, be a positive family role model and simply be a

productive member of society. In President Obama’s speech below, I read it with the First Nations in mind and absolutely agree with everything he said. No more excuses and blame, let’s move on, nobody is forgetting anything. President Barack Obama told graduates of Morehouse College Sunday that they have a responsibility as black men to set an example in improving their communities and the world. As the nation’s first black president, Obama publicly reflected on his own upbringing without a father and the challenges facing young black men. He spoke movingly of his struggles to discuss the responsibility of men as fathers and husbands, and the need for the young graduates to be role models. “We know that too many young men in our community continue to make bad choices,” the President said. “Growing up, I made quite a few myself. “Sometimes I wrote off my own failings as just another example of the world trying to keep a black man down. “I had a tendency sometimes to make excuses for me not doing the right thing.

“But one of the things that all of you have learned over the last four years, is there’s no longer any room for excuses. “I understand there’s a common fraternity creed here at Morehouse: excuses are tools of the incompetent, used to build bridges to nowhere and monuments of nothingness. Well, we’ve got no time for excuses – not because the bitter legacies of slavery and segregation have vanished entirely; they haven’t. “Not because racism and discrimination no longer exist; we know those are still out there. “It’s just that in today’s hyperconnected, hypercompetitive world, with millions of young people from China and India and Brazil, many of whom started with a whole lot less than all of you did, all of them entering the global workforce alongside you, nobody is going to give you anything that you haven’t earned. “And moreover you have to remember that whatever you’ve gone through pales in comparison to the hardships previous generations endured — and they overcame, and if they overcame them, you can overcome them too.” Obama also

cautioned against a lifelong focus on profit, saying, “it betrays a poverty of ambition if all you think about is what goods you can buy instead of what good you can do.” More important than anything, Obama added, is family. “Everything else is unfulfilled if we fail at family,” he said. “I still wish I had a father who was not only present, but involved,” Obama said. “And so my whole life, I’ve tried to be for Michelle and my girls what my father wasn’t for my mother and me. “I want to break that cycle. “I want to be a better father, a better husband and a better man.” Mary French Smithers

YOUR POINT O F V IEW that went to the polls, it was determined by the majority of people in B.C. who just couldn’t be bothered to become involved in the process of democracy. My reaction to Dante’s quote was to consider that if fewer than half the people can’t be bothered to vote, we no longer live in a democracy, rather we are governed by an intellectually apathetic majority who “maintain(ed) their neutrality”. It has been pointed out that there are people all over the world dying in order to obtain the right to a democratic election. The fatality figures from Syria alone exceed 100,000. All died fighting for a democratic society in which they have the right to elect their representatives. Whether you come from one side of the political equation or the other, you have a responsibility to become informed of the issues and then to elect the government we want, not necessarily the government we get. Respectfully, Bob Haslett Smithers

For the Record In the May 22, 2013 issue of The Interior News, the penultimate paragraph of Igor Steciw’s letter should have read: The problem is that the good experiences are generlly discarded since they are inconvenient to those who are seeking sympathy and money for the “survivors.”

New arena funds needed By Ryan Jensen Smithers/Interior News

The big push has started to raise $400,000 to help fund the construction of a new arena in Smithers. At a special public meeting held April 29, Smithers councillors voted to increase the new arena project’s budget by about $1 million to $4.7 million. Currently, just under $3.7 million has been raised in confirmed funding for the project. The difference will be made up using $400,000 from the town’s land sales reserve, $250,000 from a Northern Development Initiative Trust grant that has not yet been secured and $400,000 in community fundraising. This week, the second sheet of ice committee began sending out letters to community members and businesses, requesting help in reaching their fundraising goal. Any money raised will be held in a refundable deposit account until the end of the year and if the project does not go ahead, donors will receive their funds back. See ARENA on p. A11

Yee wins double gold at B.C. meet By Ryan Jensen Smithers/Interior News

Regan Yee is a B.C. champion, times two. The South Hazelton Track star returned from the B.C. High school Championships in Langley last weekend with gold medals in the Senior 3,000-metre race and the Senior 1,500-metre steeplechase. Yee previously finished third in 2011 and second in 2010 in the steeplechase at the event, and ran a very smart tactical race to take the top spot, coach Neal Currie said. “She got boxed in right off the start and was nearly last for part of the first lap but gradually moved up and took the lead for the last lap and pulled away from the other girls to win comfortably,” Currie explained. Because of a false start, Yee was wary about starting too soon, she said, which meant she was playing catch-up from the beginning. “I didn’t panic, though, and slowly picked my way to the front,” Yee said. In the 3,000-metre, Yee set the pace for the first half of the race but Alex Siemens

keep my head up and reel her in, so I put everything I had into that last 200 metres and was able to catch her by the end of the curve,” she said. Yee is competing this

Shogun produces National champs

By Ryan Jensen

Your commitment is your success.

Smithers/Interior News

Shogun Dojo continues to produce some of the best martial artists in Canada. At the World Karate and Kickboxing Council national championships over the Victoria Day Long weekend in Ottawa, 28 members competed, taking home more than 20 topthree medals. From the event, seven club members have earned the right to represent Canada at the world championships in Taranto, Italy in October. Two more will also likely be attending the

— Marwan Abu Khadra

event as spares. In kickboxing, Dave Percy fought to two gold medals and one bronze. In karate, Tareq Abu Khadra finished third in both continuous and point fighting. Lisa Ramos was first in point fighting and second in forms. Martin Roberge earned a gold in continuous fighting and a bronze in point fighting and forms. Rob Henry finished

first in point fighting and second in continuous fighting. In Team Forms, Riley Tchida and Sage Lawson placed third. In point fighting, Jake Tchida and Liam Sandberg were named as spares. Percy credits the leadership of Abu Khadra and the commitment of the club members with Shogun Dojo’s excellent results on the national stage. “We have a really good

club here with lots of good talent,” Percy said. “That’s why we do as well as we do.” Many of the club members travelling to worlds have already competed at that level and are expected to do well at the event, said Shogun Dojo owner Marwan Abu Khadra. To be successful at the next level, he said the club members need to continue to train hard. “Your commitment is your success,” Abu Khadra said. The club will be taking part in fundraising events over the next few months to help pay for the trip to worlds.

Gryphons golfers end season fifth in B.C. By Ryan Jensen Smithers/Interior News

The Smithers secondary school golf team ended a very successful season last week with a fifth-place finish at B.C. High School Championships in Duncan. The Gryphons top player was Grade 12 student Nathan Cachia, who shot a 75 and 77 for an individual third-place finish. “The weather was a little bit rainy and the course was pretty soft,” Cachia said. “We always talk about trying to stay away from the high scores, trying to keep it at a bogey maximum. “I hit the ball pretty well but I had quite a few three putts and just didn’t make many putts at all.” Cachia’s results were the top finish ever for a Smithers

secondary student at the tournament. Grade 9 student Riley Coish finished in 14th spot overall with his two-day total of 161. “He’s got a really good short game, that’s for sure,” Cachia said of his young teammate. The team was made up of Cachia, Coish, Rhys Wilson, Skler Stahel and Mitch Turko. Kaleb Gorbahn was unable to play in the tournament because he was on stage as the lead in Smithers secondary’s production of Macbeth. The provincial tournament was the culmination of what had been a highly successful golf season for the team. Early in the season, before the course in Smithers was open, the Gryphons placed sixth at a very competitive tournament in

Vancouver and followed that up with four straight northwest zone wins. “When looking back at this season, I cannot be more proud about how we played, how we acted and how we represented our school,” Gryphons golf coach Dana Gorbahn said. “These young men have great accomplishments to be proud of and we look forward to more years of the same.” Cachia is moving to Billings, Montana in the fall to play golf on a scholarship with Rocky Mountain College.

“We’re trying to respect the other partners in the community forest, recognizing that we are in a partnership as a shareholder and that Wetzin’Kwa operates as an arms-length body from council,” Mayor Taylor Bachrach said. “This arena project is a regional initiative, even though it’s been spearheaded by the Town of Smithers, people from all through the region will use the facility.” If successful, the town would use the money to replace the $650,000 in long-term borrowing approved a few years ago that is included in the project’s confirmed funding. For anyone wanting to donate, cheques can be made out to, “Town of Smithers - Second Sheet,” and dropped off at town hall.

Smithers unites in battle against cancer By Ryan Jensen Smithers/Interior News

On Saturday, the Bulkley Valley will be uniting with one common goal: to fight cancer. Taking place at Chandler Park, the Smithers Relay for Life begins officially at 1 p.m. The luminary ceremony, where those who have lost their fight against cancer will be honoured, is at midnight. Debbie Courtliff, who has been involved in organizing and publicizing the event since it began 11 years ago, encourages people in the community to come down to take in the event, even if they have not registered as a team or plan on making a donation. “To me, the Relay is about

fundraising, obviously, and also about supporting those who have cancer or have lost someone to cancer, but it’s as much about awareness and education,” Courtliff said. “Come down and take part in the festivities.” Outside of organizational duties, Courtliff has also participated in the event for 10 of the last 11 years. In the beginning, she felt it was important to participate in honour of her sister who died from cancer at the age of 45. A couple of years later, Courtliff herself was diagnosed with cancer and is now a survivor. A retired teacher, she’s part of the Classless but Classy team. Sheila Radu is a member of

the Gryphon Waywalkers team. She also has a personal connection with cancer as her sister-in-law has battled against the disease and she now has a very close friend who has been diagnosed. “When I take part in the Relay, I feel like I’m fighting for them,” Radu said. Cancer survivor Debi Lyn Smith is one of the people who will make a speech at Saturday’s event. “A favourite analogy of mine is that becoming a cancer statistic is one big lottery,” Smith said. “We’re all born with a ticket or two. “The more you mistreat your body, the more lottery tickets you rack up, eventually giving yourself a greater chance of

your number being called. “This is one lottery you do not want to win. “Going through any cancer at any level is devastating.” Smith recently wrote a book, Running from Cancer, about her fight against the disease and will be doing a reading and signing on Friday from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Mountain Eagle Books and at the Smithers Public Library from 7 to 9 p.m. A portion of the proceeds from every book sale will be donated to the Bulkley Valley Health Care and Hospital Foundation. Trina Anne Gleason-Zubek began taking part in the Relay in memory of her grandfather Francis Gleason, who passed away from cancer. This year, in addition to his

memory, her team, Keeping Loved Ones Alive, is taking part in honour of all those in the Tahltan nation who have have been touched by cancer. “The most emotional part of the Relay is at the end where they announce the names during the luminary ceremony,” Gleason-Zubek said. “To hear [my grandfather’s] name be called was a reality check. “Our basic goal is to keep doing this event, raising money, to keep all our loved ones alive.” It’s not too late to sign up for this year’s Relay for Life. Visit www.relaybc.ca for more information. Donations will also be accepted on Saturday at Chandler Park.

Centennial quilt a labour of love for Heinrichs By Ryan Jensen Smithers/Interior News

Bulkley Valley quilter Carli Heinrichs, with the help of some of the area’s most talented artists, gave the Town of Smithers a priceless Centennial gift. The 84” x 70” (2.1 m x 1.8 m) work of art, which took more than 1,000 hours to complete, was officially presented to the town during the regular council meeting May 28. “It’s a one-of-a-kind, original piece that no one can ever make again,” Heinrichs said. Heinrichs, maybe better known for her quilts made of second-hand T-shirts, began planning the project more than two years ago. “The quilt started with the realization that a community as friendly and as lovely to live in as Smithers was going to turn 100 years old,” she said. “I just think that money can’t buy everything and you do what you can in terms of improving your world in one way or another. “This has been my way.” She then put the call out for artists from the area to assist her. Nicole Tessier, Perry Rath, Anne Havard, Martha Wertz, Linda Stringfellow and Todd Tracey Lace all stepped forward to help out

Carli Heinrichs, far left, presented the Town of Smithers Centennial quilt to Mayor Taylor Bachrach, second from right and council May 28.

with the project. Only Tessier was a quilter, so the artists would create their block in a variety of mediums, then Heinrichs would transfer their images onto the quilt. The centennial project took Heinrichs more than 18 months to complete. She went through 11 redesigns before deciding on the quilt’s final layout. The quilt features recognizable Smithers’

landmarks such as the Old Church, Alpenhorn Man, Hudson Bay Mountain and the Babine mountain range as well as Sir Alfred Smithers, wildlife and a traditional Wet’suwet’en home. “It’s by far my best work,” Heinrichs said. “What this did for me, personally as an artist, was to challenge me in every way possible and it caused me to grow and stretch.

“I have horizons I didn’t see before.” Heinrichs also said she hopes those who are familiar with her work realize she is not just a onedimensional artist. “It felt like the community, or the people that know me, pigeonholed me into that recycling lady who only makes T-shirt quilts,” she said. “I can do a whole bunch more.”

Now, the quilt is in need of a permanent home. The sheer size of the artwork has made it difficult to find a suitable location to hang the piece so it can be enjoyed by as many people as possible, Mayor Taylor Bachrach said. “It’s a beautiful quilt, I was totally impressed so hopefully we’ll find a great spot to display it,” Bachrach said. “We would love to

display it at town hall but we’re having difficulty finding a space that’s big enough. “We’re certainly open to suggestions of public buildings that would make a good display space and we referred it to the centennial committee to ask for ideas of where to put it.” For more on the Heinrich’s Centennial quilt journey, visit her blog at www.goodearthquilting.

Village of Telkwa welcomes new chief, deputy chief

By Percy N. Hébert Smithers/Interior News

The Telkwa Volunteer Fire Department has two new faces at the helm, sort of. Randy Cunningham is the new fire chief with the TVFD. Cunningham, 56, with almost 20 years of experience with the TVFD, steps up from his deputy fire chief position to take the lead of the TVFD. “Everyone left the room except for me,” Cunningham said with a chuckle to explain how he got the nod as the new fire chief. On a serious note, Cunningham said his years of experience will serve him well as the new fire chief, especially considering most of the TVFD firefighters have about six years’ experience. Filling the deputy chief position is Stuart McKinnon. McKinnon, a seven-year veteran with the TVFD, said he felt a sense of duty to step up and take on

Village of Telkwa mayor Carman Graf (middle) welcomes Stuart McKinnon (left) and Randy Cunningham (right) to their new positions as deputy chief and chief of the Telkwa Volunteer Fire Department. Percy N. Hébert photo

the position of deputy chief. “Somebody had to step forward,” McKinnon, who works at the Bulkley Valley Home Centre in Telkwa, said. “It’s not that I wanted the job, but it’s necessary. “As one of the key players on the team I felt it was my turn to step forward.” Both Cunningham and McKinnon said their biggest challenge

is not the day-to-day operations of the TVFD, but rather the recruitment of new volunteers to the TVFD. The TVFD currently has 18 volunteer firefighters and Cunningham would like to see another handful of volunteers join their ranks. “These days, recruiting volunteers for any organization, is a big challenge,”

Cunningham said. “If you don’t recruit, you end up without a fire

department,” McKinnon said. The key, McKinnon said, is to get volunteers through the door, to take the step into the unknown. “Once they’re through the door they really enjoy it,” McKinnon said. Although he is looking forward to the challenge, Cunningham, like former TVFD Chief, Corey Kortmeyer, said his main concern is making the wrong decision. However, Cunningham said, he knows he is surrounded by a great group of volunteer firefighters “When you do make a wrong decision, hopefully

you have people around you who will help you get back on the right track,” he said. “I believe in people, I believe in their

strengths. “I’m looking forward to the challenges ahead and know I have a great group of men and women around me.”

Pilot: Industry jeopardizing lives and business By Jerome Turner Hazelton/Interior News

Craig Roy, a helicopter pilot based in Terrace, has more than 15 years flying experience in the northwest and is unhappy with the helicopter traffic because no northwestbased pilots are working for industry in the area. Spectra Energy, the company proposing a pipeline that will travel in close proximity to the Skeena River and terminate on the B.C. coast near Kitimat, has helicopters in the air in the northwest constantly to support its project research. Roy has to travel to Alberta weeks at a time for work and wants an opportunity closer to home. “You’d think with the growth in the northwest and all the helicopters overhead we would not have to leave town to go to work,” Roy said. Roy has kept informed of what industry says it brings to the northwest as well. “I came across

an illustrated page the other day about a $25 billion dollar investment and 16,000 jobs in the northwest in the year 2012,” Roy said. “The brochure fails to mention who is doing these jobs.” On top of the financial consequences Roy points to what he thinks is the most startling problem. “I have been present when both Spectra Energy and TransCanada pipelines have given a speech about how important safety and having skilled workers is to them,” Roy said. “Spectra brought a helicopter company into town and it shortly crashed in the mountains killing the three people aboard and they continued using the same company until their next accident.” Following the first crash, 14 kilometres west of Terrace near Sleeping Beauty Mountain in June 2012, Spectra refused to hire local machines or pilots, Roy said. “Unfortunately the only work I or another local operator will

attain is when one or perhaps more aircraft will crash, we will then be able to bring out the bodies and wrecked aircraft,” he added. Roy compares this to Enbridge putting most of the safety of super-tankers on the B.C. coast from Kitimat to the open ocean on local tug boat captains and crew. “A pilot’s experience is usually very specialized,” Roy said. The companies that Spectra has hired are based out of Fort St. John, while TransCanada, the company that would build the Northern Gateway pipeline has a federally-owned company hired. “They are not locally owned nor do they supply local pilots,” Roy said. “It’s sad I have to leave for work while the inexperienced pilots from abroad are busy flying every day over my house. “I have a hard time seeing the advantage of such projects.” Representatives from TransCanada nor Spectra did not return calls before press time.

HSS FUN ENDS IN TIE Hazelton Secondary School held its annual Fun Day last Thursday. The day had four teams; Skeena, NorWesters, Bulkleys and Rockies battle throughout the day in events like dodgeball, team bump [Brandon Wale of the Skeenas (above)], oreo cookie relay and the slurp and run relay. The Rockies and Bulkleys tied for first 725 points, while NorWesters compiled 625 and Skeena tallied 605. Jerome Turner photo

T HREE R IVERS R EPORT

Gathering moves aboriginal learning forward By Jerome Turner Hazelton/Interior News

Hazelton Secondary School hosted a First Nations education meeting May 31 with keynote speakers from Victoria and educators made the in-district trip from Terrace to take part. More than 40 educators from School District 82 attended HSS to learn how to foster a brighter future for indigenous students and raise the profile of traditional B.C. First Nations culture in the school system. Dr. Jane Smith, John Field Elementary teacher and author, led a group through storytelling and its importance in the Gitxsan culture. “It doesn’t matter how many times you hear these stories there’s always more to learn from them,” Smith said.

Smith relayed to the crowd the Gitxsan world view before getting into the stories. “Everything is circular,” Smith said to explain how Gitxsan beliefs affect the way Gitxsan children learn. “Educators might bang their heads trying to get our kids to think differently. “But even though our kids aren’t sat down and told about this Gitxsan worldview they know and feel it.” Donna Flett, from Victoria, led the From Despair to Dreams session which told the stories of students who managed to find something they were successful in that helped them to maintain interest in academics. Despair to Dreams was in keeping with the message from one of the opening speakers, Richard Sampson, F.A.S.T.

program, who told a personal story. “Luckily I found basketball,” Sampson said. “I was ready to quit school by Grade 4 because the other kids would bug me for being so tall. “I got to thinking I was dumb, but that wasn’t the case at all.” Sampson told the audience how important it was to have parents that practiced and taught parts of the Gitxsan culture to him, which was the subject of the most popular workshop of the day. The Indigenous Language workshop was led by Oscar, Ryan and Reg Dennis. The trio are part of a resurgence of the Tahltan language in their home village of Iskut an they came to share how they’ve achieved the success. “It was good to come and share,” Oscar said. “And network too.”
