UNBC Room Admin 1007, Prince George

Regular meeting after from 4:15pm-5:30pm

On the morning of Thursday, Sept. 12, RCMP busted a marijuana grow operation on Pinchi Road near Fort St. James. After an investigation of the property, RCMP had been issued a search warrant, and in the process of executing the warrant, found the 67 marijuana plants as well as four pounds of dried marijuana. One adult male was taken into custody by the RCMP and has since been released on a promise to appear in court. RCMP are recommending charges of cultivation of a narcotic and possession of a narcotic to the Crown. RCMP estimate the plants would have produced around the equivalent of 6,700 joints.

Tears for Justice in Fort St. James

A van plastered with posters and photos was drawing attention to a very important cause on its route through Fort St. James last week. A group of volunteers taking part in the Tears for Justice walk, which began June 21 in Nova Scotia, were helping to bring attention to the missing and murdered women from across Canada. The walkers were hosted by Nak’azdli First Nation, which donated food, gas, motel rooms and a $700 cheque towards the project. They also held a raffle and were continuing to take in donations last week. “This band helped us immensely,” said Gladys Radek, founder of the Tears for Justice walk. The group is on their way to Prince Rupert, in an effort to create continued interest in the many missing women files across the country and especially along the Highway of Tears. Radek, who is from Moricetown, is no stranger to the Highway of Tears story and families missing loved ones. Radek’s own niece went missing eight years ago. Tamara Lynn Chipman was 22 years old when she disappeared, leaving behind a young son, who is now 11 years old. “What are they doing I ask?” said Radek. She was also critical of the Immaculate Basil search and what she saw as the lack of effort on the part of the RCMP. “Something could have been done,” said Radek. Radek feels not enough is being done by authorities to work on missing first nations women’s cases.

“They have to be willing to work with us,” she said. “We’re not just Indians, we’re human beings.” Radek wanted to draw attention to cases like Basil’s, and driving around in a van literally covered in posters and photos of missing and murdered women, she is doing just that. She also has some company on her journey. With her are a group of everchanging supporters from across the country. William Dick joined the walk in Ottawa on July 6. “I thought it would be good for unity,” said Dick, who joined as the

second man in the group at the time. Dick said he thinks a lot about the kids who have been left behind by the missing women, perhaps partly because his own mother was killed by a vehicle when he was nine years old. His aunt and grandmother also both passed away soon after, and so he was adopted. Kelly Hoole from Winnepeg spent 27 years as a sex trade worker in Winnepeg, and is now walking with the group. Hoole now works as an outreach worker, helping people get off the streets, and was inspired to join the walk after having lost a friend in the sex trade.

Still summer, for now Ruth Lloyd Caledonia Courier It appears I was premature in dreaming about winter powder towards the end of August. The cool weather as August closed out got me mentally preparing for the long hard in-between season before the mountain once again consumes my weekends in leg-burning happiness. However, instead, there has been sunshine sans sweaters, with more beach time. While the dropping water level has made the wade out to swim a more involved affair, there are still beautifully warm and inviting water temperatures. But instead of pulling the bikini back out of the drawer, I’ve taken to mountain biking, motorbiking and more renovation work. While the cool breath of fall is definitely sliding in through open windows as morning breaks, the days are still warm enough for open doors and t-shirts under leather on motorbike rides. I can enjoy the cool air from under the duvet and know the day will thaw the chill from my bones. Of course, it is making it hard to focus on things like preparing for the long winter by harvesting my garden and wood gathering, but I’m not complaining. Farmer tan here I come.

•Letters

Editor: Looking over the 120-plus signatures that Cindy and I gathered last Wednesday (in less than four hours I might add) makes me so proud of us in Fort St. James! So many names, all familiar - friends, family and acquaintances - makes the heart go warm and fuzzy and we thank you all. A nice surprise was when a retired RCMP officer stopped by and gladly signed our petition. Also, a much love retired nurse. Thank you sir and thank you ma’am. Send your friends. We will be up town again this Wednesday and hopefully most of the Wednesdays left in our 90day campaign. A terrific start for a cause whose time has finally come. Registered voters interested in supporting Sensible B.C. may stop in and sign. I have great faith in our town, so I know we’ll be seeing you.

Smear campaign

Editor:

The last few weeks The Courier has been reporting on the conflict between two female volunteer firefighters from the fire department and Fire Chief Rob Bennett. I was shocked at the amount of information each week that was posted about the allegations against Mr. Bennett by his accusers during, what appeared to be, an ongoing investigation. What are the District of Fort St. James’ policies around confidentiality and an employee’s rights to a fair process? This came across as a one-sided, subjective account of someone’s actions. Placing this information in the paper against the fire chief before any firm conclusions had been reached by the District appears to have been a smear campaign. Whether Mr. Bennett is guilty of the offences described or not, I feel he should have still had the same right as the women that were accusing him to a fair, confidential and unbiased assessment of the situation. Playing this out in the community newspaper has put Mr. Bennett at a distinct disadvantage, as the accused many times carry the stigma forever whether the accusations are ever substantiated or not.

A piece of history Ruth Lloyd Caledonia Courier

was born in France. Cumberland also has a copy of the book Notes archaeological, industrial and sociological on the Western Dene by Morice which was inscribed by David Boyle. Boyle is considered by some the "grandfather of Canadian archaeology

Dennis Cumberland recently brought home a little piece of local history, thanks to the world wide web. The benefits of the global village allowed Cumberland to find four copies of Father Adrien Gabriel Morice's Carrier Language: A Grammar and Dictionary, printed in 1932, two of which he bought for himself. Father Morice was an oblate missionary who served with the Catholic Church at Our Mother of Good Hope and the Stuart Lake Mission in Fort St. James, after being in Williams Lake at St. Joseph's. The dictionary, bought online and sent to Cumberland from Germany, was one of a few books Morice published on the local Carrier peoples and Morice was well known for his work on the language, as he helped to create the first written version of Carrier (Dakelh) using syllabics. Morice spent many years in and around the area studying the local first nations. He published some of his research in Dennis Cumberland shows the dictionary by Father French and some Morice he recently purchased. The Integris in English. Morice

and the inscription was written for George Dorsey, who was the head of the Chicago Museum. Morice used the proceeds of one of his books to purchase the printing press which he had while in Fort St. James and used to print reading material for the local people.

Cities in revolt over new recycling costs

Jeff Nagel Black Press

Cities across B.C. are crying foul over the rollout of a new recycling agency that the provincial government has put in charge of blue box pick up. Multi-Material B.C. (MMBC), an industry stewardship group made up of major retailers and producers, is set to take responsibility for collecting and recycling packaging of all sorts by next May as a result of new provincial regulations. It has promised to let interested municipalities continue to run their own recycling operations by acting as contractor, if that’s what they prefer. But the cities say the prices offered by MMBC are far too low to cover their costs and that other terms are unreasonable, starting with a take-it-or-leave-it signing deadline of Sept. 16. “I’ve never seen a contract come through as one-sided as what they’ve done with this,” Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan said. “The idea you’re going to come in and replace our pro-

grams and take over recycling is out of line – most municipalities are really concerned about that.” Cities fear they’ll lose money if they continue providing the service their residents expect under the pricing structure MMBC has offered for recyclables. They can opt to decline a contract and MMBC will contract recycling pick up out as it sees fit, but the many mayors fear that. The Lower Mainland mayors predict many cities will reject the deal as offered now and demand action from provincial government ministers at next week’s Union of B.C. Municipalities convention, which opens on the day of MMBC’s deadline. Prince George has already refused MMBC’s contract offer, as has Coquitlam, where Mayor Richard Stewart warned in a letter to Polak that “Coquitlam council is gravely concerned that no reputable collector would concede to these conditions and this would inevitably lead to an unacceptable degradation of the existing quality of service.” One objection is MMBC’s requirement that loads of recycla-

bles contain no more than three per cent contamination of other materials. MMBC managing director Allen Langdon rejects claims the proposed contracts short-change cities on collection costs, adding programs in 23 cities were reviewed to determine fair pricing. “We think those costs, based on our research, provide for compensation for an efficient and effective system,” Langdon said. He said cities that don’t like how the system unfolds can terminate their contracts without penalty on six months notice, or opt for dispute resolution. Langdon also defended the short notice for cities to sign up, saying timelines are tight to identify collectors and line up processors in time for a May 19 launch. Note: District of Fort St. James mayor and council voted to reject the MMBC offer to take on recycling in Fort St. James at their latest council meeting last week, citing concerns over unanswered questions and concerns over projected costs to taxpayers.
