CUPE workers threaten strike By Amara Janssens Smithers/Interior News
Students in the Bulkley Valley are heading back to school this week, but their return to classrooms may be short lived. If negotiations fail between CUPE support workers and the province, it could force school closures as early as mid-September. The Canadian Union of Public Employees, the union representing education assistants, secretaries, custodians and bus drivers, began bargaining talks with the province today which are expected to last until Friday. Barbel Schroeter of CUPE Local 2145 said the union is asking for a two per cent wage increase over the next two years, something she said has been given to other provincial employees. “We haven’t had a wage increase in four years and our last
contract expired a year ago.” Schroeter said support workers are not “rolling in money” as the average salary is about $24,000 a year. “I’m hoping we come to a fair agreement.” While negotiations take place, the province is looking for options on how a wage increase could be funded. School District 54 Bulkley Valley superintendant Chris Van der Mark said the province has asked school districts to come up with a savings plan. “We don’t know how much of a savings plan we need to find,” Van der Mark said. If a fair agreement between the province and union doesn’t come together, job action could result. And it could come in the form of a strike, something that could have school doors closed. “The teachers have already stated their support to CUPE,” Schroeter said.

Smithers woman clipped by train in Telkwa By Amara Janssens Smithers/Interior News
A Smithers woman is lucky to be alive after being struck by a CN train in Telkwa near Coalmine Road on Saturday night. At approximately 11 p.m. first responders arrived on scene after the conductor reported the
train he was driving had struck the 39-year-old woman. Smithers RCMP Cst. Joey Mindel said the conductor saw the collision and felt the impact. RCMP said the woman was walking alongside the tracks on the highway side when she was clipped by the train. Only her right arm was struck, and
appeared broken, Mindel said. The woman was rushed to Bulkley Valley District Hospital by BC Ambulance at 11:45 p.m. She was conscious and suffered no blood loss. “It could have been way worse,” Cst. Mindel explained. “She’s a lucky girl.” Police are cautioning
the public who cross the railway tracks not all train incidents end this well. “We are realists and we know that people use that thoroughfare as a very easily accessible way to get to and from this area of town. “But I would definitely caution them, this is one woman who got extremely lucky, hopefully we never
have to deal with this again. I hope people are a little more careful when they are going across those tracks,” Cst. Jennifer McCreesh said. The Telkwa Volunteer Fire Department was first on scene, as emergency responders including RCMP and BC Ambulance were on location at the nearby Telkwa BBQ.

SMILE FOR THE WEEK
Council continues recycling debate
By Amara Janssens Smithers/Interior News
The Town of Smithers has taken another step toward curbside recycling, but with a risky condition that could send council back to the drawing board. After much debate during the regular meeting Aug. 27, council agreed to sign a contract in principle with Multi-Material British Columbia to provide curbside recycling services for the town. However, it was decided to sign the contract with a condition the town would only continue talks if MMBC agrees
the recycling centre not be further away than the current facilities. MMBC confirmed the recycling facility would not be further than 60 kms away from the town, but councillor Bill Goodacre said 60 km is just too far and for him is a dealbreaker. “Let’s face it, [MMBC] don’t live here. When they say 60 kms up here, they look at a map. They don’t know what 60 kms means up here to us.” “Take the time to listen to what we’re saying and realize we’re not being facetious,” Goodacre added. Mayor Taylor Bachrach
stated his concerns about signing the contract with this stipulation, as MMBC said they would not be open to any conditions on the initial contract. He said he would rather get to the negotiating table first. MMBC approached council about implementing the curbside recycling program in May, and since then council has been debating the merits of the program. The Town of Smithers has until Sept. 16 to decide whether they will sign the contract with MMBC to provide curbside recycling services. “We need to know if they’re in or not,” Al
Your Valley Dairies New Comers Thousand Hills is one of the newcomers to the list of Dairies in the Bulkley Valley. Both Ed and Brenda Ewald were born and raised in Smithers, growing up on hobby farms with many good friends in the farming community and plenty of work experience with animals, crops and business. “Thousand Hills started out as a dream and an application to BC Milk Marketing Board’s Dairy Farm Start Up program in 1986 shortly after Ed and Brenda Ewald started working in the Dairy industry for George and Tina Veenstra at Glenwood Dairy on Snake road. In 2009 the Veenstras made the decision to sell their cows and quota. After 23 years Ed’s time
at Glenwood Dairy was about to come to an end but at the same time his name rose to the top of the Dairy Start Up program list. Decisions had to be made. The Veenstras generously gave us young stock which could be used as a foundation for a future herd. We took some time to explore several possibilities: find another career, buy a working farm or buy land and build a dairy. Meanwhile Brenda took a job as a classroom aide to maintain some income during the transition period. While sorting out the different options and having our plans change multiple times it was pretty obvious that God was making everything fall into place to start our business successfully. Following the Lord’s plans for our
lives has always been a priority , and choosing the name Thousand Hills dairy acknowledges God’s sovereignty, claimed in Psalm 50:10 where God claims all the animals of the forest and the cattle on a thousand hills as His. We are just stewards of what God has given us. After much prayer, careful consideration and helpful advice a dream was about to come a reality. Many things had to come together to make this new venture work. The Dairy farming community was very helpful and supportive in our new endeavors. We can’t thank them enough for their wise advice, support and encouragement. Ed took business courses through Nadina Community Futures which helped to understand and develop
Langdon, managing director for MMBC explained, adding that having firm commitment from municipalities is necessary in order to begin talks with collectors. “Municipalities should use [the 60 km distance] as a worst-case scenario.” Other concerns include the pick-up schedule, with three plans proposed. Council seemed to favour the first of the three options, which would see garbage picked up one week and recycling the next. If council’s contract is accepted, Smithers will recieve a $55,000 annual incentive from MMBC.

Weir tours tar sands
GUEST VIEW Josette Weir
I
feel run down and my throat hurts. Is it because I feel choked or is there something I cannot swallow? I have just returned home to Smithers from an Enbridge sponsored guided tour of the Fort McMurray tar sands. Upon request and to their credit, Enbridge agreed to include me in their latest junket in spite of my open opposition to the Northern Gateway pipeline project. Fort McMurray is a hole in the boreal forest, 467 kms north of Edmonton. From the air the sprawling housing for its more than 100,000 inhabitants looks as if it is bursting at the seams because Crown land allocations are limited and there are seemingly constant traffic jams. Everything is young and new, including the population whose median age is 31. Superlatives abound: largest airport traffic in Canada, nearly completed largest recreational complex in Canada. Average house prices have reached $650,000. There are two methods for extracting tar sands heavy crude called bitumen; mining and in situ recovery. Both require large quantities of water and energy. Mining is an open pit operation using the gigantic trucks often shown in the media. Interestingly 30 per
cent of the truck drivers are female who are very much liked for their gentler handling of the equipment. Bitumen mining requires the controversial tailing ponds lining the Athabasca River, which also receives the “treated” water. In situ recovery uses steam and does not require tailing ponds. Suncor boasted about their 200 ha reclaimed area representing less than 1 per cent of the land they used. A new directive from the Alberta Energy Regulations requires them to reclaim 50 per cent in the future, albeit nobody knows if this is even possible. While there, I felt a mix of fascination and horror; fascination came from witnessing the technological prowess and accomplishments. Horror came not only from the scale of the destruction, but also from a sense of planetary disconnection. There is no doubt that the young, happy, extremely well paid people and the significant number of foreign workers who could not dream of a $80,000/yr salary drying laundry in their own country, are all there for the money.
However this is an unprecedented destruction of land, water and air allowed by extremely lenient federal and provincial regulations. A recently released report (July 2013) shows 4,063 chronic and repetitive contraventions by the major players between 1996-2012 with an enforcement rate of 0.9 per cent and a median penalty of $4,500. Further, the area affected is larger than the extraction area. Carcinogenic products associated with bitumen extraction were found in lake sediments 90 kms from the extraction site. None of that was mentioned in the factoids delivered by the attractive tour guide. Neither was mentioned the contribution of the tar sands extraction to global warming, the most crucial issue of our time. Even if as claimed the contribution is only a few percentage points to global carbon emissions, such added percentage points can be the tipping point for disastrous consequences to come. It appears like a delusional world propped up by our heavily lobbied federal leaders promoting their aggrandized vision of

Canada as a super energy power. By tripling production in the next 20 years, the CAPP representative explained that there still will be 100 years left of production (instead of 500). Are we to continue letting giant oil multinationals decide on our behalf or are we to develop a vision that will protect the planet and include the wellbeing of future generations? The importance of the contribution of tar sands extraction to the Canadian economy is not supported by the numbers presented during the visit. If Alberta is receiving $2.3 billion in royalties, why has it recorded a $2.8 billion deficit in 2012? Federal taxes amounting to $1.5 billion represent a rather small percentage of the $1.74 trillion Canadian GDP. No wonder I feel choked. For those of us who have not stepped into the “bitumen bubble,” it is clear that the future lays in careful planning for the reduction of our energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions with a renewed sense of world citizenship and deep care for the future generations.

Soup kitchen needs volunteers Editor: We are writing on behalf of the St James Soup Kitchen. The soup kitchen has been in operation since late 1996. The number of people using our service has certainly grown from those first days. While our numbers have more or less stabilized at around 80 we have had more attending at other times. The kitchen is operated as nondenominational and everyone is welcome. While we certainly welcome new helpers or soup makers, our prime concern now is to find a group leader. We now have the soup kitchen set up so that a team works one Saturday per month. This

RCMP set up camp at Klappan By Amara Janssens Smithers/Interior News
RCMP have settled into the centre of the Mount Klappan mine controversy. Last week less than half a dozen officers set up camp in the remote region to keep the peace between Fortune Minerals staff and Tahltan protestors. “We’re there to keep the peace and to act as impartial observers,” Cpl. Dan Moskaluk said. The protest has remained peaceful, said Marie Quock, Iskut chief councillor. “The activities that are taking place are mainly drum rallies by our elders,” Quock, said. But it’s the location of the protest that has the RCMP concerned, especially if an event were to arise, police response would be a
few hours away if a camp were not set up. “It’s the remoteness of the site that has dictated us to be there,” Moskaluk said. “We’re aware there are tensions and tensions can mount.” Nearly 50 Tahltan have been protesting since the Tahltan Central Council served an eviction notice to Fortune Minerals on August 14 at Beauty Camp, a culturally significant site. “The demonstrators have displayed a very respectful manner to how they go about their protest,” Moskaluk said. Fortune Minerals has continued work on their environmental assessment since August 19, following the weekend meeting between the Tahltan Central Council and Fortune Minerals executives.
Happy 60th Birthday Harold

“Fortune Minerals is permitted to conduct lawful activities in the area and the protestors should really address their concerns to the B.C. government,” Troy Nazarewicz, investor relations manager for Fortune Minerals, said. Quock said a request to meet with the province has been sent by the TCC, but as of late last week, they had not received a response.

Carol Huynh inducted into wrestling HOF By Nolan Kelly Smithers/Interior News
Two-time Olympic medalist Carol Huynh is ready to take her place among wrestling’s greats. The Hazelton native has been inducted into the International Federation of Associated Wrestling Styles (FILA) Hall of Fame. “To be recognized by FILA in front of my peers, and to be inducted amongst so many amazing wrestlers that came before me, is a great honour,” Huynh told The Interior News via email. The ceremony will be held on September 20th in Budapest, at the wrestling world championships. “I’m excited about attending because my husband is coming with me and I get to watch the Canadian team compete.” Huynh won gold at the 2008 Beijing games in freestyle wresting and bronze four years later in London. In world championship competition she earned a silver medal in 2001 and three bronze medals in 2000, 2005 and 2010. Her election to the FILA Hall of Fame ranks highly on her personal list of accomplishments. “Hands down, the greatest moment of my career was my

Olympic results. (Can’t beat that gold medal),” Huynh said. “But this definitely ranks up there with my world championships and my other podium finishes.” But her hall of fame recognition isn’t based solely on her success on the mat. Since retiring from competition in 2012 she has dedicated her life to coaching in Canada and to improving the standing of wrestling worldwide.
Currently, Huynh is in Buenos Aires with members of FILA, lobbying the International Olympic Committee to bring wrestling back to the Olympics for the 2020 games. Last year, wresting was removed from the Summer Games, but it will appear as a demonstration sport in Rio De Janeiro, 2016. It’s exclusion came a shock to wrestlers and
fans alike. “Wrestling being recommended to be removed as a core Olympic sport might have been the best and worst thing that has ever happened to our sport,” Huynh said. “On the one hand, it has been the catalyst for many great changes and developments in our sport that would have taken much longer to occur if it hadn’t happened.” Since then, FILA has been
busy, attempting to modernize wrestling in the hopes that they can make the sport viable for the 2020 Olympics. Among the recently adopted changes, the federation approved more categories for women, eliminated ties and altered the format of bouts from three two-minute periods to two threeminute periods. “We had the strength to change,” said FILA president Nenad Lalovic. “We made mistakes in the past for sure. Now we are looking forward.” If FILA is not able to convince the IOC to bring wrestling back, the sport could suffer from lower interest and participation over the long haul, something that worries Huynh. “If we do not return to the Olympic program, it will stifle the growth of our sport domestically and internationally and maybe even turn the hands of time backward,” Huynh said. “It took 3,000 years for women wrestlers to enter the Olympic stage and we don’t want to give up that ground now. The Olympic dreams of millions of young wrestlers will be dashed and the opportunity to create international role models from this sport will diminish.” See HUYNH on A8

The defending CIHL champion Smithers Steelheads are holding tryouts for local hockey players at the Smithers Civic Centre on September 14 and 19. “It’s an open tryout for this year’s team,” said Steelheads general manager Kelly Zacharias. “We have a lot of returning players, but we are definitely looking for some new blood.”
The club will look to add depth to its returning core of all-star calibre players. Most of the key pieces that helped the Steelheads lead the league last year, will be back, with the exception of forward Jody Pederson, who recently moved to Calgary. “It’s a working man’s league,” Zacharias added.” “Sometimes players have shift work, sometimes we are a little short, so we want to make sure we
have a full roster.” The depth will also help keep the notoriously up-temp Steelheads fresh for the long season. “We are a puck possession team and we like to role four lines and wear the other team out,” Zacharais said. “We had a good team last year but we need a few more players to guarantee a consistent turnout.” The camp will feature a mix of drills and light scrimmages, led by head coach
Tom DeVries. In addition to locals trying out, the Steelheads could get a boost from a few exHazelton Wolverines players, who have all been invited to the tryout. Hazelton was attempting to ice a team for the first time in two years, but fell short at the last minute. “We encourage anyone who things they would like to come and try out to be there on the 14th and the19th,” added
Zacharias Shortly after tryouts, the Steelheads will head to Prince Rupert to take on three other teams (Kitimat, Terrace and Prince Rupert) from the Northwest in the annual Challenge Cup. It’s a great opportunity for coaches and executives to get a look at the team ahead of the regular season, which begins on October 5 in Houston against the Luckies.
Huynh lobbies IOC to include wrestling From HUYNH on A7 But the wrestlers have power and history on their side. Many world leaders have spoken out in favour of wrestling’s future in the Olympics, including Russian President Vladimir Putin, who called the Olympic exclusion “unjustified” on the basis of its 3,000year history and participation in every Olympic games since 1900. Wrestling is
competing with softball/baseball and squash for one available spot in 2020. After she returns from Argentina and Hungary, Huynh will get back to the coaching grind in Calgary for the winter. Last year she worked at the high school level and assisted the University of Calgary varsity and club teams. In addition to coaching, Huynh is training to become a
registered psychologist, hoping to work as a mental performance consultant in the future. “Coaching is a lot different than competing,” Huynh said. “You have to think about skills and strategies and teaching styles for multiple people. You feel the ups and downs of all your athletes and you have almost no control over your athlete when it comes down to the competition.”

It’s given her a new appreciation for the coaching she’s received over the years. “I have a new respect for my coaches and I appreciate them even more than I did before. It is very difficult, but I enjoy the challenge. I care about my athletes and want to help them be the best wrestlers and people that they can be.” Though Huynh now resides in Calgary, she still makes the

S PORTS Volleyball BC comes to town By Nolan Kelly Smithers/Interior News
Volleyball BC hosted their second annual summer camp this past week at Smithers Secondary School. In total, 30 kids between the ages of 13-17 signed up for the five day clinic, that boasted Dan Huzar, one of the best volleyball coaches in the province. “I had a lot of fun here last year and I was happy to come back up here when the asked me to,” Huzar said. Huzar currently coaches the UBC women’s team, Canada’s national team, Team BC and a few high schools in the lower mainland. His goal over the week was to teach proper basic techniques and instill a love of the game among the players. “We keep it simple,” Huzar said. “There is a lot of basic stuff that we teach all the way through, but I also do that with a lot of the higher level teams that I coach as well.” The younger kids at the camp spent more

time playing fun games, while the older kids focused on technique and preparing for the upcoming high school season. “We get them to touch the ball a lot, we try new drills and engage them and make sure they are having fun.” The camp began two winters ago when town Rec. Director Andrew Hillaby asked BC volleyball to come to Smithers to do a few weekend coaching clinics. They were well attended, so the town
began discussions to see if BC volleyball was interested in coming up for a full week in the summer. Last year the first camp filled up and this year there was a 20 person waiting list. “We are going to try and do two camps next summer, one for the younger ages and one for the older,” Huzar said. “There are two types of camps you can run and it sounds like both will be full, which is a positive thing.” In addition to the multiple summer camps, Hillaby is also

S PORTS Smithers set to host Four Aces camp By Nolan Kelly Smithers/Interior News
Mountain bikers from around the Bulkley Valley will get a chance to train with one of the best coaches in B.C. this weekend, when Trail Dynamics’ Steve Wilson hosts his two day mini-camp in Smithers Wilson, a former Prince George resident and current general manager of Trail Dynamics, normally runs courses in the lower mainland, but he ‘s kept his eye on Smithers for a long time. “Growing up in Prince George, I have been to Smithers to ride before, and every time I come back I am blown away,” Wilson said. “They have unreal trails. So, we want to teach people how to ride them safely and how to use their bikes better.” The camp is geared for riders of all levels. It focuses on perfecting the basics and fine tuning from there. “It’s called Four Aces because we focus on four fundamentals:
eyes, elbows, hips and heels. If you can ride with those things, you are guaranteed to be a stronger rider.” Wilson has been a mountain bike coach for the last 12 years. He used to work in Whistler with Summer Gravity, but settled in the Lower Mainland after staring a family. “We noticed that there wasn’t any coaching in the Fraser Valley, so we decided to set up shop there, but the vision has always been to spread out a bit and include northern B.C. in our Steve Wilson brings a wealth of coaching experience to Smithers. plans.” Contributed photo Originally, the camp was scheduled September to give “We are hoping Cost for the program for mid-August, but people a chance to get to come up here and is $125 for both days, organizers pushed some practice in.” run the camp twice a and doesn’t include it back to early If the camp is a year and eventually equipment.

Smithers cadet awarded prestigious bursary By Nolan Kelly Smithers/Interior News
Chief Petty Officer 2nd class and Smithers native, Travis Verbeek was awarded the Bernard Brown Bursary last week aboard the HMCS Quadra at the cadet summer training centre. The bursary will help Verbeek in his goal of becoming a Naval Combat Systems Operations Officer. In order to apply for the bursary, Verbeek had to list his accomplishments with the cadets and the benefits he has received from his five-plus years in the program, which he said were numerous.
“Cadets has been a huge benefit for me,” Verbeek said. “It has taught me about leadership, it’s helped me overcome difficulties and it’s taught me new ways to go about my life to use wherever I go.” Last summer, Verbeek was one of six cadets in Canada chosen to be a senior cadet at the training centre in Comox, on Vancouver Island. There, he helped supervise and train 500 younger cadets and 150 staff cadets. “I find my job so rewarding, being able to influence so many other youth from across Canada. I love being able to give the same training I received to the new

cadets and seeing them succeed. It makes it all worth it.”
In addition to his supervisory role, he was present at some
important Navy events. “My favourite part was performing
as a Naval Field Gun Captain at the Ceremony of the Flags in Victoria and HMCS Quadra,” he said, after receiving his bursary. “These field guns are over 100 years old and were last used in service during the Boer War.” Verbeek graduated from Smithers Secondary School last June and he’s hoping to put his bursary to good use by attending the Royal Military College in Kingston, ON next fall. After completing the program, his goal is to enter the Navy as an officer. It’s an intense fouryear program that comes with obligatory service in the Navy afterwards.
“It’s a lifestyle that I enjoy. There are lots of benefits: travel, adventure and being involved in your community in a positive way.” Royal Canadian Sea Cadets is a national youth program sponsored by the Department of National Defence and the Navy League of Canada. The program is offered to all Canada youth, from age 12-18 and is provided at no cost to the families. “Cadets, generally, is an amazing program,” Verbeek said. “They can do so much for you, teach you so many skills and there are so many trades you can learn about. They opened doors for me.”

Thoughts are young, the body isn’t
S
ent to me by my nephew, Ross Huguet, a voice-over artist: Aging is for the body, not for the mind. You can’t find a 100-year-old leaf on a 100-year-old tree. Thoughts are young, but the body is not. While at the fair a discussion ensued over what are crowberries? None of us knew, resulting in a computer search. Crowberry or black crowberry is native to most northern areas, likes acidic soils, shade and moist areas. Berries are edible, used for purple dye and as ground cover. Another name brought up was scotch cap. Other names for this berry: wild black raspberry, black caps, thimbleberry. Edible fruit, useful as natural
dye, is now being studied as a possible cancer treatment for Barrett’s esophagus due to being high in anthocyanins (antioxidants). The ripe fruit is black with a unique taste. I continue to follow the young fellow biking across Canada. He sent a video of Yukon River kayakers. They have super skills. Back in the late 1800s the Yukon River was a main transportation route for the Klondike Gold Rush. The video is of two local kayakers “playing” underneath the Rotary Centennial Bridge near Whitehorse. www.vaguedirection. com.

It’s a flat object made from a tree with flexible parts on which are imprinted lots of funny dark squiggles. But one glance at it and you’re inside the mind of another person, maybe somebody dead for thousands of years. Across the millennia, an author is speaking clearly and silently inside your head, directly to you. Writing is perhaps the greatest of human inventions, binding together people who never knew each other, citizens of distant epochs. Books break the shackles of time. A book is proof that humans are capable of working magic. Carl Sagan.

t must have been a slow day in the weather department or maybe it was that no political event had stirred our curiosity. It was just one of those days when a few of the “village” people had gathered for a morning coffee or a dandy breakfast at the Midway in Telkwa. What was the topic that day? Zucchini for heaven sake! Mind you it is that time of the year when gardeners will have a big crop of this popular summer squash. If you know a gardener I have an idea you will be offered a zucchini or two.

PJ Perry brings joy of sax to valley By Ryan Jensen Smithers/Interior News
P.J. Perry loves playing in Smithers for what he calls “a very hip audience.” “These days, people’s tastes have matured and there is a jazz audience up there [in the Bulkley Valley],” Perry, who calls Edmonton home, said. “I’m very much looking forward to coming up there again.” Perry is one fourth of the P.J. Perry Quartet, a group made up of renowned jazz musicians who are performing at the Della Herman Theatre on Sept. 13. The accolades for Perry’s work are many. He won a Juno for Best Jazz Recording and he has recently been performing his own show, “The Joy of Sax,” with orchestras from across the country. He has shared the stage with the likes of Dizzy Gillespie, Woody Shaw and Tommy Hunter. Rounding out the P.J. Perry Quartet are: Neil Swainson on bass, Chris Sigerson on piano and Nels Guloien on percussion. “People can expect to see virtuoso saxophone playing, I can say this I think without too much

Percussionist Guloien is Perry’s youngest brother and his sister, Janet,

on the knowledge to the younger generation that the music is here to stay and that it is indeed valid and important. It’s a music that incorporates honesty, beauty and technique. I consider it my responsibility to pass it on to the younger generation.” Perry has performed twice before in the Bulkley

Pipeline crews working without permits, OGC By Jerome Turner Hazelton/Interior News
Survey crews conducting research on proposed natural gas pipeline routes near the Hazelton area are operating without official permission from the BC Oil and Gas Commission, a quasi-judicial branch of the B.C. government. When asked if the BCOGC, created to regulate oil, gas and pipeline activities in B.C., has issued any permits for tree removal or land alteration to crews in the Suskwa or Kispiox valleys the response was clear. “I can confirm the BC Oil and Gas Commission has not approved any applications for activity in the area you mentioned,” Hardy Friedrich, BCOGC communications manager, said. However, there is some differing information coming out of the Hazelton Ministry of Forest, Lands and Natural Resource Operations office. Lou Tromp, Skeena Region natural resource officer, in correspondence with Graeme Pole, creator of the website nomorepipelines.ca, sent a message contrary to Friedrich’s. “We have checked into your complaint and have found that all of the survey crews are fully compliant with the law, just as we suspected,” Tromp wrote. “Everything that they are doing is perfectly legal.” In the same correspondence Christopher Lind, MFLNR field operations supervisor, added that all permits associated with natural gas pipelines are the responsibility of the BCOGC. “I’m asking them, now that
they’ve said it’s a legit operation, how it’s legit,” Pole said. “They’ll probably respond by stating a surveyor, who has never been here, approved the operations. My question to that is, is that acceptable procedure?” Pole became concerned with the amount of traffic on the Kispiox Valley road near his family home last May and approached the crews himself to learn of their operations. “There are zero pipelines approved through this area, so I began wondering who all these people were that drove in and out of the Kispiox Valley every day,” Pole said, adding all the work trucks he has observed have Alberta license plates. “I asked the oil and gas commission what was going on and got a quick reply that no permits had been issued then either.” Pole had a chance meeting with one of the people working on a crew in the area and heard from them what they were doing. “They said, ‘yeah we’re near the Helen Lake Road and we’re cutting down trees to survey a pipeline route’,” Pole said. After the conversation with the worker in the Helen Lake area, Pole began his correspondence with the MFLNR and was surprised by one response from Tromp regarding what was happening near the Helen Lake Road. “There is a real slight chance that the OGC people would know but that is even highly unlikely,” Tromp wrote to Pole. “Next time you were out there you could ask for the names and registration numbers of the surveyors and see what

they say. I would be very surprised however if they were not licenced.” To which Pole responded. “Asking a concerned member of the public to investigate a complaint is not an acceptable response from the

ministry that you represent,” Pole wrote. “Apparently, trees are being cut by TransCanada pipeline crews off the Salmon River Road as well. An individual spoke with one of the people on a falling crew and asked if
they had permits and the reply was “no.” I request that you promptly get staff out of your office to investigate, and report your findings.” The Interior News was unable to contact TransCanada before press time.

T HREE R IVERS R EPORT Yee puts Hazeltons in international spotlight By Jerome Turner Hazelton/Interior News
Aug. 25 Regan Yee took on half the world and came away with a sixth-place finish at the Pan American Games to cap a stunning season and set the stage for a university track career. Yee faced two firsts in Medellin, Colombia, where the Pan Am Games were held and she met the challenges head on. “It was my first attempt at a 3,000 metre steeplechase. I think things went pretty well,” Yee said. “I did the best I could and didn’t hold anything back. I’m happy with my sixth-place finish. This was my first international meet, so the competition was the toughest I’ve ever faced. These were the fastest girls in the Americas, so it was pretty intimidating.” In addition to running a longer race than usual, she had the more than 1,500 metres of elevation to contend with, which has a drastic effect on the available oxygen, which was around 20 per cent less than what is available at sea level. The thin air affected every racer,
according to Neil Currie, coach of the Bulkley Valley Athletics club, of which Yee was a member. “Her time is very impressive as almost everyone in the field ran 40 to 50 seconds slower than their seasonal best,” Currie said. Had Yee known what to expect in Medellin she may have taken home the gold medal, as the winner of the race finished within 50 seconds of Yee’s time of 11 minutes and 13.61 seconds. “The altitude hit me way harder than I expected it to, but I’m excited to see what my time will be like at sea level now,” Yee said. Her former coach thinks the sky’s the limit for Yee. “She just keeps getting faster and I don’t know when that is going to stop,” Currie said. “She’s clearly the best junior steeplechaser in Canada right now. She set a B.C. record and is the third fastest junior in Canadian history, so hopefully this transfers into the senior ages.” She begins her post-secondary this week at Trinity Western University, where she will also study pre-engineering.

Yee remains a Spartan in Langley YEE from B1 TWU’s athletics team name will help Yee with the transition, as her former school, Hazelton Secondary shares the same name, Spartans. Since deciding to join the TWU team she has been welcomed with open arms. “The TWU team already considers her one of them,” Currie said. “They cheered for her at meets all summer which was really nice. She’s going as one of the best high school graduates in Canada.” Yee currently holds the B.C. record in the 2,000 metre steeplechase at six minutes and 43.22 seconds, which she set this summer in Kamloops at the B.C. Championships. She is excited to be able to focus solely on running at TWU, whereas she also played basketball, but running has always been her focus. “Next summer I am aiming to qualify for Team Canada for World Juniors which are being held in Eugene, Oregon,” Yee said. She begins her new track season in January 2014 at a meet in Seattle, Washington.

Ding, ding, ding! By Jerome Turner Hazelton/Interior News
The Hazelton Boxing Club is starting again on Sunday Sept. 8 and is accepting applications from anyone interested in joining. The club, now in its fifth year, is hoping to bolster numbers and begin to schedule matches for members who wish to compete against other nearby community clubs. Dan Marshall and Wenda Leask, who is a member of the New Hazelton RCMP, are the driving force behind the club and both coaches are looking forward to the upcoming season. “We offer several different levels during

our practices,” Leask said. Marshall agrees the upcoming season is for a range of people either looking to get in shape or hoping to hone skills to compete against other clubs. “We encourage anyone to come check out what we have to offer,” Marshall said. “We’ll be starting out at a much slower pace in the first couple of weeks.” If a person wants to use the boxing practices to get in shape the cost will be $20 for the year, Leask said. However if prospective members want to spar they all have to pass muster with both coaches and wear the required safety equipment,
Marshall said. “To be able to spar a certain skill level has to be met,” Marshall said. “We will never put our students in a position where they’re a danger to themselves or anyone else.” Both Leask and Marshall bring several years of boxing experience and technical training to the club and Marshall is going to register himself to compete against others in the northwest, as well. “Yeah, I’ve wanted to compete again for a few years and think this will be the year I get it done,” Marshall said. Marshall would compete in the B.C. Amateur Boxing circuit in the
heavyweight category. To compete he has registered with Boxing BC, which is also necessary to spar during practice, Marshall said. To register with Boxing BC and be able to spar the total cost would be about $70 per year. The cost remains low due to donations from the community, namely the New Hazelton RCMP, who supply all the necessary training equipment from gloves to heavy punching bags, Leask, who is also a RCMP constable, said. “Basically all a person needs to bring is shorts, a mouth guard and a don’t quit attitude,” Marshall said.

August 24, 1927 – August 27, 2013 With heavy hearts we advise the peaceful passing of our dear father, Franz, at the Prince George Rotary Hospice House on August 27 at the age of 86. A special thank you to the truly extraordinary, amazingly wonderful, caring staff and volunteers that enriched each day for Dad, and our entire family, during his final months at the Prince George Rotary Hospice House. Sincere gratitude also to Smithers Hospice, Smithers Home Support and the Adult Day Care staff at Bulkley Lodge. Thank you to Doctors Predo, Hart and Bastian. A memorial service, to be held in Dad’s beloved home town of Smithers, will be advised at a later date. In lieu of flowers, a donation to the Prince George Rotary Hospice House, or charity of your choice, would be gratefully appreciated. Rest in peace Dad, your spirit is now free, and know that you will forever remain in our hearts - Elfriede Graham (Rix), Brigitte Leffler, Frank (Carla) and Mariana (Darrell Kloschinsky), and his special grand children Daniel Cuglietta (Marisa), Sydney and Savannah.
