Smithers/Interior News

School District 54 board of trustees announced they are spending more than $1 million to renovate several schools over the summer last Tuesday at their last meeting of the school year, June 18. The largest ticket item is the renovation of the gymnasium at Houston Secondary School with a bill of almost $1.3 million. “It’s been a long time in coming,” School District 54

secretary/treasurer Steve Richards said. The renovations, under the Ministry of Housing’s building envelope program, a province-wide program, are intended to improve the school’s envelope to stop water leakage. The exterior of the HSS gymnasium will be completely replaced. At the same time, Richards said the drainage around the school will be improved Work on the gymnasium is expected to be underway this week

with a projected completion date some time in September. The school district is also spending close to $85,000 from their annual facility grant money to improve the insulation of several schools in the district. HSS, Twain Sullivan Twain Elementary and Silverthorne Elementary schools in Houston, as well as Telkwa Elementary and Smithers Secondary schools are receiving renovations to their thermal barriers to

reduce the amount of heat lost, especially during the winter. The heat loss was identified using a thermal imaging camera, Richards said. “You can lean against a building, walk away, then pick up your thermal imprint on the wall,” Richards said. “It allows us to see where there are tremendous gaps [in insulation] and leakage around windows and doors. “It really provides some guidance as to what the priorities should be to try and

save on heat costs.” Some of the buildings, Richards said, have little to no insulation. “They’re fairly inexpensive fixes and good value on the return,” Richards said. “Those are really good projects.” The work at the five schools includes weather stripping air sealing and the installation of additional insulation. School board trustees also gave unanimous approval for the 2013/2104 budget, based on an anticipated enrolment figure

of 2,178 students, although Richards admitted there were challenges ahead to meet the budget projections. With a total budget of approximately $22 million, Richards said the biggest challenge to the budget would be uncontrolled costs, with the largest contributors being sick-leave and legal costs. Other pressures included increased costs of the teachers’ pension fund and workman’s compensation in addition to the effects of inflation.

Smithers fire trucks get second life in Peru

By Ryan Jensen Smithers/Interior News

A couple of retired Smithers fire trucks will soon be filled with bomberos, rushing to the scenes of emergencies in Peru. The vehicles are part of a shipment being put together by Firefighters Without Borders, a national non-profit organization that is dedicated to assisting fire departments in need of specific skills, training or resources related to the fire service. Firefighters without Borders national president Bob Dubbert was in Smithers last week to pick up the trucks, along with one from Kitimat, for transportation by shipping container headed for South America. “It’s huge,” Dubbert said. “A lot of people really stepped up to make this happen.” Many South American firefighters face desperate situations and Dubbert said it is not unusual to see departments where there are 30 firefighters

sharing one selfcontained breathing apparatus. In Lima, there are 58 fire stations, all staffed by volunteers, Dubbert said. “You go down there and there are towns the size of Smithers, and bigger, that don’t even have fire stations.

“They get major fires every day in their cities and it’s amazing what these guys do.” Dubbert estimates the trucks will be in use for another 15 to 20 years in Peru. Smithers Volunteer Fire Department chief Keith Stecko said the two vehicles, a ladder

truck and a crash truck, would have eventually been sold off for scrap because

Canadian safety standards only allow them to be in service for about 25 years.

Sending them to Peru to help people less fortunate was an easy decision, he said.

“This is a real opportunity, I believe, for Smithers to be a global citizen and to support and pay it forward for another community that is less fortunate and perhaps play a role in saving someone else’s life,” Stecko said. Mayor Taylor Bachrach said there was no hesitation on the part of Smithers council to support the donation when they were approached by the fire chief with the idea. “I think it’s a fantastic initiative and I really applaud Keith and the fire department for showing the leadership to bring this forward to council,” Bachrach said. Over the years, Firefighters Without Borders has donated equipment and vehicles to countries such as Belize, Congo, Paraguay, Thailand, El Salvador and Nicaragua.

New Hazelton resident missed Kurtis Adams found in Seeley Lake, June 16

By Jerome Turner Smithers/Interior News

People in northwestern B.C. were shocked by the passing of 16-year-old Kurtis Greg Adams. He was swimming with two friends in Seeley Lake on a Father’s Day when tragedy struck. It remains unknown why Kurtis was unable to continue swimming with his friends, who were headed to an island in Seeley Lake. Adams became distressed halfway to the island, according to a B.C. Coroner’s report. A search-andrescue team found his body below the surface of Seeley Lake on its initial search, according to a RCMP report. A funeral service was held for Adams on June 22 at the Seventh Day Adventist Church in Two-Mile. Several people attended his service, including older sister, Katrina AdamsBowker. “Life will go on but not as it once did,” Adams-Bowker wrote on her brother’s Facebook wall. “For we now only

POINT O F V IEW

A look back No time for complacency

uesday night’s turnout for the public meeting called by the Bulkley Valley Community Association to discuss means of financing the civic centre project was a big disappointment to the executive in view of the importance of the undertaking. Certainly more of the community’s business leaders and heads of the organizations should have been present to offer their support or to make suggestions. This is a project which calls for a union of all organizations and the wholehearted support of every resident of the community! This is not time to “let the other fellow do it” or place the load on the shoulders of a few willing workers. And there is no getting away from the fact that everyone will have to dig deep to finance this civic centre. A covered arena for skating and hockey and many other sports and forms of entertainment has long been talked of - now that the time for action has arrived how about everyone getting in the act? Interior News - Sept. 30, 1954

Community is proud of their graduates

t has been another exciting year in schools across the Bulkley Valley, culminating in the recent graduation ceremonies held at Houston Secondary and Smithers Secondary. As noted in many of the grad speeches, many people have played a role in getting the students to this point in their journey. In the Bulkley Valley, we live the old saying, “It takes a community to raise a child.” I cannot communicate how appreciative we are to the parents, families, volunteers, community services, businesses, support staff and teachers who have helped guide this journey.

As parents you have given us your most treasured possession with the expectation that they grow and develop the necessary skills to navigate a rapidly changing, increasingly complex world. Graduates, you are the treasure that has brightened our hallways, theatres, music rooms, gymnasiums, and indeed our lives as we see the hope in your potential. Moreover, you have challenged us to adapt and to help you find your way in your own unique and sometimes messy fashion and we are richer for it. As a community we are extremely proud of your various accomplishments throughout your

GUEST VIEW Chris van der Mark school years and know that success will look different to each of you according to your journey. These successes reflect our pride as a community and a school district and our belief in offering a rich, diverse, and rigorous educational program that reflects our community.

At one of our Education Forums, we asked the community to tell us what they expected of an educated citizen in the Bulkley Valley. Their responses were nearly identical to those identified in Tony Wagner’s, The Global Achievement Gap: critical thinking and problem solving, collaboration, agility and adaptability, ingenuity and entrepreneurship, effective oral and written communication, ability to access and analyze information as well as curiosity and imagination. Our community added two others to this list: community volunteerism and environmental awareness.

I would suggest these two additions should be the foundation upon which the others take root. If we apply the above seven skills to being good to others and our environment, regardless of where we go or employment we engage in, we can be proud. And to the graduating class of 2013, we are proud. We are proud and we are thankful to have shared this time with you and to have been inspired by your exuberance and optimism. May you go forward with the same curiosity you started with! Chris van der Mark is the superintendent for School District 54.

TO: Taxpayer funds being misused by NDP

Editor: I just received the latest taxpayer-funded newsletter from our MP, Nathan Cullen. I have long been unhappy to have my tax dollars used to promote political parties but this latest issue is way over the top. Why should I be forced—through my taxes—to pay for NDP literature thinly disguised as news from Ottawa? Our tax dollars paid for the printing and our tax dollars and postage stamps supported its “free” distribution. I have no problem with subsidizing legitimate communications

between residents of Skeena-Bulkley Valley and our elected representative. However, the use of this privilege to shamelessly promote the NDP and its leader is nothing short of taxpayer abuse. More than that, it’s an abuse of democracy itself. After the last federal election, the NDP received over $10 million in “reimbursements”

from Canadian taxpayers. That’s $10 million they could spend on self-promotion without using the MP’s local newsletter as a propaganda tool. To use the perks of office and incumbency to push the NDP agenda at taxpayers’ expense is self-serving and unfair to voters and the future candidates of other parties who do not have this privilege.

Thomas Jefferson said that it is tyranny “…to compel a man to furnish contributions of money for the propagation of opinions which he disbelieves…” I couldn’t agree more. CHP Canada, in contrast, receives no taxpayer money and any literature we distribute is paid for by our own supporters, not by taxpayers.

Do you have a dream lifestyle? Would you like to increase your chances of achieving it? Most people would say yes! Just like a blueprint for building a house, so having a financial blueprint can help you build the future you want. Where to start? First, think about what you want to accomplish, both short- and long-term, these are your objectives. Then, determine your risk tolerance and find appropriate investments that will meet your needs. Taking too much- or too little-risk can mean you won’t be able to reach your goals. Different objectives may require different investments, so make sure you understand what you have and how it works. Your next step would be to develop the financial strategies needed to reach your goals. Be sure to review these on a regular basis with your advisor to ensure you are still on track for financial success. For a free financial consultation and 2nd opinion on your investments please call me at 250-847-4686 and I would be very happy to review where you are and make recommendations for a better financial future.

talent out there to be good parents or to succeed at K - 12 education, structurally there are reasons for why this is happening, Donaldson said. “We need to address those because education is a key component in lessening dependency, so I’ll be advocating for better approaches to First Nations’ in K - 12 as well as in postsecondary education.” “Those are the kinds of things I will go through in the budget estimates with the new minister,” Donaldson said.

and the extreme social and economic issues that are faced by First Nations and B.C. is no different.” Education is also of concern for Donaldson especially the lower completion rate among aboriginal students. “We have a child welfare system where 50 per cent of the children in care are aboriginal and we have very poor completion rates in the K - 12 system for aboriginal students, which isn’t because there aren’t people with the skills and

is intimately tied to land-use issues. Part of the solution, Donaldson said, would be for the Liberal government to deal with individual First Nations. “There’s been a lack of government to government negotiation on development across their traditional territories,” Donaldson said. “The B.C. Liberals in the past have left it up to the companies to do the negotiating, the consultation and accommodation, but court cases have said it has to be a government to government relationship.

north and in the rest of the province.” One of the many issues facing First Nations as well as the respective government ministries is the multitude of proposed development projects on the land across the province. How those projects move ahead is going to depend on how the B.C. Liberal government can work out relationships with First Nations on their traditional territories, Donaldson explained. “In the big picture this is a role [Aboriginal Relations and Reconciliation critic] that is going to have a huge impact on how we are able to proceed up here in the rural areas, in the north and in the rest of the province,” Donaldson said. The fact that there are few treaties between the province and the many First Nations in B.C. is not helping matters as it

In addition, Donaldson pointed to the widening gap between the haves and have nots, with aboriginals falling in the have not category. “If you look at poverty and our province has the largest gap between the top 20 per cent and bottom 20 per cent, I would say that many First Nations are in the bottom 20 per cent,” Donaldson said. “The United Nations has condemned Canada for failure to act on First Nations issues

Doug Donaldson, NDP MLA for Stikine, is heading back to the B.C. legislature with a new role, one he said that suits him well. Following the swearing in ceremony, June 12, NDP leader of the opposition, Adrian Dix, appointed Donaldson to the position of Aboriginal Relations and Reconciliation critic. “I’m really happy in the role he’s [Dix] chosen for me,” Donaldson said. This is Donaldson’s second term as a member of the legislative assembly and he’s counting on his previous experience to help him be more effective as an opposition critic. In his first term, Donaldson spent some time as mining critic. “The first time was brand new, I was a rookie,” he said. “Now I know a little more about what’s ahead of me especially in the opposition role and I’m really happy to be going back to Victoria

and raise issues concerning our area.” The budget will be the first topic addressed when MLAs return to the legislature and Donaldson said he will keep an eye on the amount of funding and resources the Ministry of Aboriginal Relations and Reconciliation receives. The ministry, Donaldson said, is facing many issues it must resolve and it needs sufficient funding to properly address those issues. “The Ministry of Aboriginal Relations and Reconciliation has a multitude of areas they are responsible for and they’re dependent on other ministries to do negotiating on their behalf, whether it be child and family services, education, health, or energy and mines, or forest, lands and natural resource operations,” Donaldson explained. “In the big picture this is a role [Aboriginal Relations and Reconciliation critic] that is going to have a huge impact on how we are able to proceed up here in the rural areas, in the

Joseph strikes silver By Ryan Jensen Smithers/Interior News

Bulkley Valley Otter Monica Joseph swam to a silver medal in the 200-m butterfly at the AA provincials in Victoria last weekend. The 12-year-old also made it to the event finals in the 200m individual medley, 400-m individual medley and 100-m butterfly. “Monica always works hard and never fails to give her best,” said Otters’ coach Tom Best. “She has developed into a very tough swimmer with the 200-m fly and the 400-m medley as two of her best events. “Many swimmers avoid these events because they think they are too hard but not Monica.”

Wrestlers advance to summer games By Ryan Jensen Smithers/Interior News

Wrestlers Alex Schell and Jamie Tersago are headed to the Canada Summer Games. The Smithers Secondary School athletes qualified for the national competition through their results at the provincial championship earlier this season and with solid performances at the trials in May. Schell is wrestling in the 46-kg division and said working on her cardio is a major focus for her in preparation for the games. “I need to get my fitness back up,” she said. Schell must also gain more experience wrestling against opponents with a similar body type to hers — lean and tall — Coach Don Roy said. “When she wrestles girls like Jamie, it doesn’t bother her because she’s used to wrestling short,

Kids can bowl free all summer long By Ryan Jensen Smithers/Interior News

Smithers Bowl owner Salina Kennedy wants to introduce bowling to a wider audience. To achieve this goal, Smithers Bowl is taking part in the Kids Bowl Free program for the first time this summer. On Sunday of each week, parents can sign into their account and receive coupons for two free games of bowling for every day Smithers Bowl is open — Wednesday to Saturday from 1 p.m. to 7 p.m. The only cost to take part is the $2 fee for shoe rental. For youth over the age of 15 and families, discounted

rates are available. For a flat fee of $24.99, a family of up to four members will also receive two free games of bowling for each day Smithers Bowl is open. “I had one parent say to me: ‘ There’s a catch, tell me what the catch is. Nothing’s free,’” Kennedy said. “Honestly, the catch is we hope your kids love bowling so much they bug you and want to join a bowling league in September.” Normally, Smithers Bowl is closed over the summer months as business slows to a crawl. But the response so far, less than one month into the program, has

been overwhelming, Kennedy said. Nearly 200 kids have signed up to take part and more than 20 families. “I was hesitant to run it because I wasn’t sure what kind of response we would get,” Kennedy said. “But we thought we would try it as a nice way to give back to the community.” Not only is it fun, Kennedy said, but bowling is a great form of exercise. “You still burn calories, you still use more than 200 muscles when you bowl.” Kids Bowl Free runs until August 30. To participate, parents need to go to www.kidsbowlfree. com/smithers and register their children aged 15 and under.

Groot brings hockey history to life

By Ryan Jensen Smithers/Interior News

Smithers is well known as a hockey town. So for Tracey Groot, compiling more than 50 years of Smithers’ hockey history was no small feat. It took her well over 1,000 hours to put together the Smithers Hockey Museum that is opening at the Smithers Civic Centre on July 2. “It’s not hard work, it’s just very, very time consuming,” Groot said. The museum includes photographs, trophies and other mementoes, and more than 5,000 articles gleaned from the pages of The Interior News, beginning when the Smithers Civic Centre opened its doors in 1958. The hockey museum runs until July 22 and ties into the centennial celebrations. What became apparent to Groot was that while Smithers has produced an unusual number of professional hockey players over the years — Jim and Joe Watson, Rob and Ron Flockhart, Dan Hamhuis and Haleigh Callison to name but a few — it’s the town’s reputation for sportsmanlike play that kept showing through. “We’re not just known for our hockey ability, but also the dedication and behaviour of our fans and players,” she said. For Groot to be the one putting together the history just makes sense. She was the one responsible for putting together 50 years of the history of hockey in Smithers for the civic centre’s 50th anniversary in 2008 and her family has spent a lot of time over the years at the arena, Groot said. “At one point, all of our kids actually played,” she said.

Smithers historian Tracey Groot has spent well over 1,000 hours putting together exhibits for the hockey museum as a part of the upcoming centennial celebrations.

“We just about rented a room at the rink.” An interview Groot conducted with Smithers’ most famous hockey mom Mary Watson is one of her favourite

memories of the time she has spent over the years in researching and putting together the hockey history of Smithers, she said. “It was unbelievable the stories that women

could share,” Groot remembered. “It was toward the end of the season and someone had checked Joe into the boards. “Mary basically leaned over, grabbed a hold of him and told

him that was her son.” Entry to the museum is by donation and all proceeds are earmarked for the Town of Smithers Affordable Recreation program.

S PORTS Schell, Tersago continue impressive wrestling season WRESTLERS from A14 “I think it will be good because I’ll be faster than them so I think it will work out well,” she said. “I’ll be working on engaging and initiating the attack more and just wrestling smoother.” Coach Don Roy said for Jamie it is all about gaining more experience as she is only a secondyear wrestler. “Jamie’s got the defence part

pretty much figured out and she’s got some good offensive techniques,” he said. “Now she has to string it together and learn how to execute it all under pressure. “The more you wrestle, the more experience you gain and the easier it is to do because you’re not panicking.” In preparation, the girls are

attending training camps in California and Idaho over the next month-and-a-half. These trips are self-funded and Roy said they are in need of some financial help to allow the wrestlers to attend the camps. “We’re scrambling, trying to find ways to cover the costs,” he said. “If someone out there has a

few hundred Air Miles they aren’t using, we would love to have them.” Regardless of their results at Canada Summer Games, this wrestling season has already been very successful for the two Gryphons. Earlier this year, Schell was crowned provincial champion in the 47-kg division and Tersago

earned a silver in the 54-kg class. Also, in April, Schell placed third at the Cadet/Juvenile National Championships. “They’re on the right trajectory, they have the right mindset, they just have to keep trying to get better,” Roy said. The Canada Summer Games run Aug. 2 to 17 in Sherbrooke, Que.

Scouts program needs volunteers

A21

SmitherS, B.C.

By Ryan Jensen Smithers/Interior News

Smithers Scouts are in need of some new blood. There’s an interest from the children in taking part in the different levels of the program, but no adults who have come forward to lead the Beavers (three to five year-olds), Cubs (five to eight year-olds) and Scouts (11 to 15 year-old) programs for next year, said Trevor Bruintjes, who is currently in charge of the Cubs scouts. “We probably have at least 10 kids right now that would join Beavers but we don’t have a leader,” Bruintjes said, adding the Scout leader, after many years with the program, is also stepping aside. The groups meet every week and a time commitment of about 10 hours is required. They get together for two sessions

a year, running from September to December and from January to April. Other than the time involved, the qualifications for Scout leaders are fairly simple, Bruintjes said. “You have to want

to be outdoors with kids and teach them outdoor skills,” he said. Leaders must be over the age of 18 and go through a criminal record check and a brief interview. The training can all be done online and

all associated costs are covered by Scouts Canada. A pre-set curriculum for the leaders to follow is also provided for each age level. “Scouting offers a world where you can discover the best in

yourself and the best in others,” the Scouts Canada website states. “Along the way, Scouts develop into capable, confident and well-rounded individuals, better prepared for success in the world.”

Rhubarb muffins a bonus from rainy weather

an you believe it, as I speak to you today it is raining again. No thunder at the moment but that could still rock my world. Poor dogs! If nothing else wild flowers and birds like all this muggy, buggy weather. One vegetable that is growing in leaps and bounds is rhubarb. Rhubarb is easy to grow, comes back year after year and best of all is it very good for you. Rhubarb is very low in calories as well as low carb for those who pursue that way

SPICE OF LIFE Brenda Mallory of life. Mind you once we add enough sugar to make it less tart rhubarb is no longer low carb.

Rhubarb is very high in vitamin C. It is also very high in fiber. That is a good thing. If you wonder if you are getting enough calcium rhubarb will give you some of that as well. It contains vitamin K which is good if diabetes is part of your life. When I pick rhubarb I get rid of the leaves. They can be poisonous if consumed. I try to pick the stalks that are mostly red. More goodies in that. Now you have picked it what can you

do? I chop up a lot of it and freeze if for winter. I like it boiled with an apple or two. It is a great addition to plain yogurt. I do like a good rhubarb pie. Mind you someone has to make it. Pies and I don’t mix. A simple crisp could perk up a bowl of ice cream. How about some jam or chutney? I have decided that I wanted to share a recipe for rhubarb muffins. - 2 cups whole wheat flour - ¾ cups brown

sugar - 2 ½ teaspoons of baking powder - ½ teaspoon baking soda - 1 tsp cinnamon - 1 cup sour cream - 4 ounces melted butter - 2 eggs - vanilla - 2 ½ cups diced rhubarb. I mix the whole business in one bowl. Probably should separate dry and wet. Put the oven at 400 degrees and cook 12 muffins for 20 minutes or so. Share your recipes when you call 250846-5095. Send recipes to mallory@bulkley.net.

Your Valley Dairies

Faith Matters Smithers Canadian Reformed James Slaa 250.847-5879 Once in a while my young son asks me to play blocks. Not only is it a fun time together, away from the seriousness of my regular work, but it’s also instructional. I can teach him simple things. Like colours: yellow, blue, red, and green. Or shapes: triangles, rectangles, circles, and squares. Playing blocks with my son makes me think about the concept of truth. Think about it. I suggest we make a tower with green blocks. When my son takes up a yellow block, I tell him, “no, that’s not green, that’s yellow.” He’s not colour blind; so if he argues that the yellow one is green, and the green one is red, I will correct him. I will tell him he is wrong. It’s a simple concept, but I am teaching him truth. Green is green. Yellow is yellow. Same for red and blue. Am I allowed to correct him? If he thinks red is yellow, and yellow is green, are they not, for him? Do I have any business making him think otherwise?

It makes me think about the gender issue in the news these days. We are told today if a girl thinks she is a boy, then (s) he is, and we may not suggest otherwise to her (him). If a boy thinks he is a girl, and therefore insists on using the girls room at school, we may not stop him (her). When my son was born, we all said it together – I, my wife, our doctor, the attending nurse, the balloon – “It’s a boy!” That was the truth. The Bible tells the truth on this issue: God created them male and female. Let’s not confuse things. Let’s keep it simple, true, and helpful. We give God great dishonour, and we do our children and society a great disservice, if we do not speak the truth on the gender issue, correcting where necessary. Despite what a girl might feel, her physical make-up and chromosomes tell the truth. She is a girl. Boys are boys. And green blocks are green.

Sunny weather greets Music in the Park By Ryan Jensen Smithers/Interior News

The weather cleared and a good crowd was on hand at Eddy Park last Thursday to take in the first Music in the Park concert event of 2013. Shauna Hunter McLean opened the performance, followed by The Shaggy Manes. Music in the Park is now in its fourth year and is organized by the Telkwa Community Initiatives Society. The Village of Telkwa

provided a $1,000 grant-inaid to assist in the running of the event. Village of Telkwa councillor Rimas Zitkauskas said the concert series is becoming an event people in the Bulkley Valley really look forward to. “It’s a great social event and it adds life to the community,” he said. “People of all ages came out and it’s becoming kind of a tradition in Telkwa.” There will be three more Music in the Park performances: July 18, August 15 and September 12.

VOH drafting bylaw amendments for new housing Council also creates new committe and revamps grant-in-aid policy By Jerome Turner Hazelton/Interior News

At a regularly scheduled council meeting June 18 the Village of Hazelton passed the first reading of two zoning bylaw amendments and received notice of a proposed natural gas pipeline twinning. One zoning bylaw amendment proposes to rezone Block 2, Plan 7307, Schedule G from R-M low density to R-M medium density use. The second zoning bylaw amendment proposes to rezone Block 2, Plan 7307 from rural residential to multiple family residential designation. The rezoning is in connection to a proposed development by Three Rivers Co-Housing Project (TRCP). Pacific Northern Gas Ltd. notified the VOH of its proposal to twin or ‘loop’ an existing 525-kilometre pipeline between Summit Lake, B.C. and Kitimat, B.C. “The purpose of this project is to increase the capacity of the PNG system,” Greg Weeres, PNG president, wrote to council. “To transport natural gas from

the Spectra Energy pipeline system at Summit Lake to a proposed small-scale liquefied natural gas export facilities.” This project is not to be confused with any proposed large-scale projects by international companies, the letter added. Construction of the proposed 63-centimetre ‘loop’ could begin as early as 2016, according to the letter. Planning is underway, including an environmental assessment, the letter states. A cost estimate report of wood needed to construct the new Skeena Ice Arena was submitted to the SIA association’s building committee. Structurlam, a Penticton company, is currently developing the timber for the new structure. The full report is available at the VOH office upon request. During the June 4 VOH council meeting, Zeno Krekic, city planner, delivered an overview of certain local government responsibilities regarding land use under the B.C. Local Government Act. “One of the essential duties [of local government] includes managing land use and development,” Krekic said.

“This is fundamental to the development of [local] economy and this important responsibility is vested in local government.” Krekic recommended mayor and council update the Official Community Plan to allow for such projects as proposed by TRCP, which is underway with the proposed zoning bylaw amendments. Trevor Morrison and Alan Tolmie, both former Hazelton Wolverine players, asked VOH for any financial support it could afford to help them establish a new men’s hockey team called the Hazelton Thunder. Morrison and Tolmie submitted their report outlining all financial needs, but council was unable to grant any money. Part of the reason for a lack of funding available for grant-in-aid is the VOH has only $500 remaining in the discretionary grant pot after $7,000 was allotted to the Hazelton Public Library and $1,500 towards bursaries, according to a report from Tanalee Hesse, interim chief administrative officer. Hesse proposed a policy change which will hopefully avoid future shortfalls in the grant-in-aid pot.

“This policy puts the onus on a group that is looking for funding,” Hesse wrote. “To approach the Village in a timely manner and to provide complete information.” Council is reviewing the draft report. The Hazelton Area Theatre Society (HATS) and Gitxsan Health Society (GHS) both applied for grant-in-aid funding. HATS was offered the purchase of a $25 ad in its playbill and the potential for a non-monetary donation should the organization host a fundraiser for the upcoming summer production. GHS was awarded a non-monetary item to be included in a door prize draw for its GHS run on July 21. The VOH also approved the creation of the Old Hazelton Image Committee: Tera Brooks, Leah Pipe, Tammy MacKenzie, Carol Sutherland, Chris Lawrence and Jody Tetreau as appointees and chaired by Councillor Bud Smith. Part of the OHIC’s purpose is to produce a rebranded, recognizeable tourism package to draw visitors to the Village. The July 2 and August 6 VOH council meetings have been cancelled.

AIR BRAKES COURSE B.V. Driving School Ltd.

New Southtown art school possible By Jerome Turner Hazelton/Interior News

A new school is being proposed to fill the vacant South Hazelton Elementary School building, but what the school will actually offer has yet to be determined. An online petition was initiated by South Hazelton area resident Rene Chandler with the specific intention of opening a fine arts school. Chandler is the first to admit if anything is to open in the vacant school it will be a decision made by residents of the Hazelton area. “So far we have more than 100 signatures online for this to be a fine arts school,” Chandler said. “But we’re a long way from deciding what will fill the void left when the school shut down.” SHES had nearly 90 students registered when it closed in June 2010. The school, built in 1996, was relatively new and cost less than $180,000 per year to operate. One online petitioner, Derek Flynn, now a nurse, who attended SHES, left a comment on the petition board. “This is the newest school in the district that sits empty

and it’s slowly rotting away,” Flynn said. “It is time to utilize it for something good. “The community can only benefit from its use as a fine arts school.” Flynn, Chandler and others want more for Hazelton area students than the current public school system provides. “Learning about the arts is as integral as reading and writing,” Chandler said. As the school year comes to a close there is much to be done before September 2013, which was when the school was planned to open, Chandler said. A face-to-face with the local school district has yet to be scheduled, Chandler said. Lynn Newbery, School District 82 trustee, is currently on medical leave. “I was informed of the idea, but have not yet had a meeting with the proponents to learn what it is they have in mind.” In the early 1990s a school in Dunster, on the verge of being shut down was repurposed as a fine arts school following a local push to keep the school open, Pete Amyoony, who taught at the school since the 1970s, said.

The school kept a steady population of more than 30 students, Amyoony said. The Dunster school was boarded up in the summer of 2010 and has since been purchased by the Dunster community and reopened as a private institution, Amyoony said. Before the school shut down it was fully funded by B.C., but since it has opened as a not-for-profit community-owned facility

it has been able to offer whatever courses they wish, Amyoony said. “The courses we offer are such things as Apple tree grafting, bee-keeping, Ukrainian egg painting and computer courses,” he said. If a school similar to the one in Dunster was to open Chandler and company are sure it will succeed, she said. “We just want to offer children in the area more opportunity,” Chandler said.

Smith’s JFE book launch a cultural display By Jerome Turner Hazelton/Interior News

John Field Elementary students spent Aboriginal Day learning about three indigenous cultures, Gitxsan, Maori and Fijian. The theme of the event was ‘how sweet it is to learn about culture’. The Gitxsan component was in the form of a book launch by JFE teacher, Dr. Jane Smith titled, The Breath of our Ancestors. The book is a collection of Gitxsan quotes which always have a moral, Smith said. She began by reminding the audience of a song her two sisters just shared with the audience, where her sister, Angie, shook a rattle throughout. “When you shake the rattle you will hear its breath,” Smith said. “The rattle is what we use to communicate with our ancestors and all realms of the universe. “Traditions are valuable, they are a great container of identity.” Smith urged everyone in attendance to read the quotes in her book to glean whatever they can to guide their future. “If you read the quotes you will want to know more about Gitxsan traditions and culture,” Smith said. “Hopefully the quotes will help you form questions to ask so you can continue learning as you go.” Creativity and imagination are the cornerstones of progress and Smith hopes the quotes in her book inspire those who take the time to read it. The Breath of our Ancestors was edited by Hazelton resident, Erica Ball, who told a story about her brief time in New Zealand at the age of seven.

“It was a fairly brief part of my childhood,” Ball said to the students. “But I’ll always remember the story of Hinemoa, the brave woman who saved her people.” Hini, Ball’s deskmate in elementary school, told the Ball family the origin of her name while sharing dinner one night. Ball retold the story Hini shared that evening, which was of Hinemoa and her encounter with a Taniwha, a large lizard monster. A Taniwha, which can be a guardian or an enemy, was looking for food and was headed to Hinemoa’s village. Hinemoa swam across a large lake in time to warn her people of the oncoming danger. Hinemoa’s people packed and hid from the Taniwha and nobody was eaten and the village was spared certain destruction. “The neat thing about stories is there’s always something you remember from them,” Ball said. “Sometimes a saying just sticks in your mind and stays with you for life.” Ball said it was a privilege to have worked on the book Smith wrote. “I got a sneek-peek and for that I am grateful,” Ball said. Shortly after Ball was done, a trio of Fijian men, finishing a tour of the northwest, told stories and taught students the nuances of rugby. Adults and children in attendance were introduced to the Fijian word, bula, which is a greeting which also means life and is used similarly to the word, aloha, in Hawaii. Masi Nuku, Orisi Vukivanua and Peni Koroi shared a few Fijian songs with the JFE throng. “We are here today because of the connection we have made with Dr. Smith,” Masi said.

“She is a very special lady and we are honoured to share in today’s festivities.” Students and adults danced and clapped to the upbeat acoustic songs. Mark Newbery, JFE principal, was pleased with the days events.. “This is such a great way to celebrate aboriginal day,” Newbery said.

John Field Elementary students were treated to stories and songs last Friday as part of a book launch for Dr. Jane Smith, second from left. Fijian’s, left to right: Orisi Vikivanua, Masi Nuku and Peni Kovoi shared several songs from their homeland as part of the cultural showcase. Jerome Turner photo

NHE playground split in three By Jerome Turner Hazelton/Interior News

Some parents of New Hazelton Elementary students are concerned because their children are prevented from playing together on the existing playground. NHE Principal, Carol Pickering, understands the issue is under some scrutiny, but has had to follow the policy her entire term at NHE. “The main reason we have a separate play area is safety of the younger students,” Pickering said. However, every Friday students are allowed to roam freely and few problems have arisen from those days, she said. “There is a middle ground where students are free to play during any break regardless of age, but despite the Friday and neutral play areas students tend to stick to their own age group by choice,” the principal added. NHE and the parent advisory group are considering all options and covering the bases regarding the future of the playground areas. Pickering is attaching a survey, to year-end report cards, about the potential to amalgamate the entire play area for the 20132014 school year. “We want to have a good representation of parents for any decision about the playground,” Pickering said. A new playground set is scheduled to be installed in the

intermediate area during the summer. “It’ll be geared toward older students,” Pickering said. There has only been a swing-set for students in Grades 4 to 7 to play on during the segregated policy era. The first PAC meeting of the fall will begin the decision making process based on all data collected over the summer months. “We want at least one response from each household,” she said. The segregated playground has been in effect since the early 1990s and over the years the NHE PAC has had the issue come up several

times. The segregation began because there was more than 200 students attending NHE, according to a NHE PAC newsletter. “PAC has been discussing the separation for the last three years,” the newsletter states. “Today we know there are some parents for [abolishing] this separation and some parents who would like to keep it.” Some of the most vocal parents have children who are in both primary and intermediate divisions and are mainly concerned about siblings who cannot play with each other from Monday to Thursday.

We thought of you today, But that is nothing new. We thought about you yesterday, And days before that too. We think of you in silence, We often speak your name. Now all we have is memories, And your picture in a frame. Your memory is our keepsake, With which we’ll never part. God has you in his keeping, We have you in our hearts. You were a wonderful husband, father, and grandfather. Words do an injustice in explaining how much we miss you. We love you always and forever, we will never forget you and your wonderful memories. From your loving wife, children and grandchildren.

Please Don't Litter. Spay and Neuter. In just 7 years, one unspayed cat and her offspring can produce over 450,000 cats! (average litter of 3, twice a year). BC SPCA There really isn't a good reason not to have your pet spayed or neutered as they make better companions and live longer and healthier lives.The benefits of spaying or neutering, especially if done during before six months of age include: Reduced aggression and dominance | Reduced desire to roam | Decreased risk of several types of cancer | No unwanted suitors of the opposite sex | Less chance of spraying by male cats | No unplanned kittens to care for.

If you are a resident of the Bulkley Valley or Hazeltons and would like to stop the cycle but cannot afford the full cost of spay/neuter procedures for your cats, please fill out a low-income spay and neuter application at BV Vet Clinic (3155 Tatlow Road) or Babine Pet Hospital (3851 1st Ave.) in Smithers. Your application will be subject to approval by representatives of the society. If you are approved, we will help pay a significant portion of the cost of spaying or neutering your cat. If we can acquire additional funding, we will expand this program to include dogs. We are gratefully accepting donations at all BV Credit Union locations.

SETTING THE RECORD STRAIGHT

The detail and scope of our application is matched only by our determination to do it right. WRITTEN BY JANET HOLDER

Janet Holder Janet Holder is a proud Britsh Columbian and the senior executive responsible for the Northern Gateway

Project. Janet lives and works in Prince George.

After a decade of careful planning, our application is now before the regulatory authorities. But that doesn’t mean we are finished in making the case for Northern Gateway to British Columbians and all Canadians. The Northern Gateway Project Joint Review Panel (JRP) deadline for Final Argument has come and gone, and we believe we made the best case for an energy pipeline application ever in Canada’s history. Critical questions, affirmative answers. It all boils down to two questions the JRP must address in their report to the Governorin-Council. One is whether Gateway is in the Canadian public interest, and the second

Joint Review Process. BY THE NUMBERS

Our application to the National Energy Board (NEB) was one of the largest and most comprehensive submissions ever presented in Canada.

Application

17,500

submitted

pages

8 years

Participants is the Project’s likelihood of causing significant adverse environmental impacts. The answers are clear. Gateway is urgently needed, meets all requirements for approval under the National Energy Board Act and is definitely in Canada’s interest. Given the commitments and safety measures we have proposed, the Project is not likely to cause significant adverse effects on the environment. Backed by independent experts in their fields. Northern Gateway’s written and oral JPR evidence was prepared and presented by many of Canada’s and the world’s foremost experts on the related subjects. Each had thorough knowledge of the Project and the relevant scientific and engineering studies completed in support of the Project. Their evidence in favour of Gateway was comprehensive, conclusive and compelling. Unprecedented in scope, detail and potential. Our application was defended by answering thousands of Information Requests and presenting a series of nine witness panels. Together with our partners, we will have spent approximately $500 million on this Project, before receiving approval, including environmental assessments, traditional land use studies, detailed engineering and consultation with communities and First Nations—all over the course of a decade.

Our application details the enormous value of connecting Canadian resources to markets that need those resources for their own economic and social development. We are completely confident that Gateway can be designed, constructed and operated in a safe and responsible manner— first and foremost. Flowing from this, there are the enormous benefits in terms of jobs and dollars to support schools, hospitals and social programs that define this country and this province.
