Landowners fume over oil-by-rail plan By Ryan Jensen Smithers/Interior News

Terry Charter and Sylvia Sommer are “mad as hell” the federal government is even considering shipping oil by rail through the Bulkley Valley. Last week, Greenpeace revealed they had obtained a federal government briefing note that shows a high level of interest in shipping oil to Asia by rail through the port of

Prince Rupert. The note was prepared by Lisanne Baznet of the Petroleum Resources Branch for the Natural Resources Canada deputy minister in preparation for a March 1, 2013 meeting with CN to discuss the idea. On Feb. 21, 2012, 46 loaded CN Rail coal cars derailed beside Charter and Sommer’s 160-acre property located on MoriceTelkwa Forest Service Rd., 16 kms west of Houston. The train tracks sit 200 feet from

the couple’s property boundary. Sommer was at home that afternoon when she heard a train engine blowing its horn. Seconds later she heard the deafening sound of crashing metal. It wasn’t long before CN rail officials were asking for permission to go through their property to reach the derailment site to begin the mitigation work. “They were there pretty darn quick,” Sommer said. “It was like the

army descended,” Charter said. “There were pieces of heavy equipment, trucks, vehicles, for a mile either way within 24 hours. They ripped up our whole field to get to the derailment.” No one was injured in the incident and B.C. environmental officers said it appeared that no coal or train debris had impacted a nearby creek or the Bulkley River. The rail line was reopened within about 36 hours. The derailment

has really opened up Charter and Sommer’s eyes, they said, to just how precarious a position residents of the area are in when it comes to dangerous goods shipped being by rail through the area. Both wildlife and people will be negatively impacted, all for the sake of the “almighty dollar,” Charter said. For the record, the two are also vehemently opposed to Enbridge’s Northern Gateway pipeline. Prince Rupert

Port Authority’s manager of corporate communications Michael Gurney confirmed discussions around shipping oil from Prince Rupert have taken place with the Chinese energy giant. “Nexen has been, and continues to be, in conversation with the Prince Rupert Port Authority for a possible oil-by-rail solution,” Gurney said. “But at this point, that is strictly conversation.” See RAIL on A9

Third Ave. speed being reduced

By Ryan Jensen Smithers/Interior News

The Town of Smithers is one step closer to reducing the speed limit along Third Avenue. At the regular council meeting tonight, the first three readings of a bylaw to lower the speed from 50 km/h to 30 were passed. The concept of reducing the speed limit was in response to a town hall meeting held during the summer on making Third Ave. a dedicated bike lane. While that plan didn’t go ahead, it was decided to mark the street indicating the route is being shared by vehicles and bikes and to reduce the speed limit to 30 km/h. “There are a number of 30 zones along

The speed limit along the length of Third. Ave. will be reduced soon from 50 km/h to 30.

Third so this is simply connecting those up,” Smithers Mayor Taylor Bachrach said. Counc. Mark Bandstra opened up some discussion of dropping the speed

by just 10 kilometres per hour, to 40, but the idea gained little traction around the council table. Bachrach said council is looking to staff to provide

direction as to how the education and enforcement component of the changes to Third Ave. will roll out. “We’re open on feedback to how it’s

working for people and I think it’s going to work relatively well,” he said. “The new sharrow markings on Third indicate we encourage bikes to use the lane where it’s narrow because in the on-street parking and the traffic lane there really isn’t any room to ride along the side of the traffic with traffic passing.” Adoption is expected to take place during the next regular Town of Smithers Council meeting Oct. 8 and the new speed limit signs will be in place shortly after that. “Our intention for Third Ave. was really to slow traffic down. To say, ‘ If you’re looking for a route to get across town quickly, this isn’t the best one,’” Bachrach said. “We want people to feel it is safe to use a bicycle on and it’s safe for kids.”

Cullen warms to leadership bid

Sunday BREAKFAST Buffet

By Jerome Turner Smithers/Interior News

MP Nathan Cullen is starting to come around to the idea of running for the leadership of the B.C. NDP. Hot-button issues in the province such as development in the Sacred Headwater region, LNG and the Northern Gateway pipeline are some of the topics that are making the decision between Ottawa and Victoria difficult for him, he said. In a media scrum last Thursday, Cullen shared his thoughts about the potential of becoming a leadership candidate. “At first I was cool to the idea,” Cullen said. “But now, after receiving calls from a number of people, I have begun to consider the real possibility. Initially I thought this was a decision needing to be made in a week or two, but it will definitely be made before Christmas. I’m trying to be calm about it and make the right decision.” There are some determining factors which would prevent Cullen from choosing to run, he said. “If [the decision] would bring hardship to or threaten the happiness of my family,” Cullen said, adding that he isn’t concerned about the potential logistics of a campaign. “Politics comes and goes, but your family’s meant to stay. Also, if I felt like the work [in Ottawa] was more effective and more direct in affecting the things that I care

about and the people I represent. If it felt like leadership in B.C. would take me down a different path away from that purpose, then I wouldn’t do it.” But no matter what his decision is, Cullen said he feels the provincial party will be in good hands. “I know a lot of the people whose names have been mentioned in the conversation,” he said. “They are all formidable leaders and great voices in their own right. David Eby has been rumoured, one of the new MLAs, who this year took down Christy Clark in her own riding. So, there’s not a great worry in my mind that if I don’t go it’s going to be Bad News Bears.” The leadership of the party is, however, not pulling the party apart, Cullen added. “The dominant

part of the conversation is about winning [the election] in four year’s time,” Cullen said. “We are less concerned with internal party politics as we are with the people’s politics.” The current issue with the most traction is the dispute between Fortune Minerals’ anthracite coal venture and the Tahltan. “First Nations have a Constitutional right to be consulted and accommodated and those things are sometimes achieved and sometimes they’re not,” he said. “When they’re not certainly First Nations have a strong authority.” However, Cullen does not feel First Nations, like the Tahltan, have veto power on any proposed project if they have been consulted and accommodated properly.

“It is always in any company’s interest to make sure that [government] is doing the consultations and doing it well,” he said. Cullen used Enbridge’s Northern Gateway project as a prime example of what not to do regarding social license-building with First Nations and said he hopes the burgeoning natural gas industry doesn’t follow suit. “You don’t have to look further than Enbridge to find out what corporate hassle that can cause,” he said. “It’s not the right way to go. It’s very expensive, causes a lot of uncertainty and a lot of grief. When good companies come forward and try to work with First Nations and try to understand the perspectives, generally speaking, there’s success that’s met.”

Emily McGiffin, right, who recently moved from Smithers to Toronto, attended a rally outside Fortune Minerals’ head office.

• Produce • Canning • Baking • Jewelery •

Earlier this year, Fortune Minerals’ proposed 40 square kilometre open-pit mine and associated infrastructure entered its environmental assessment process despite unanimous opposition from the Tahltan First Nation. The event occurred only months after the B.C. government, Shell Canada and the Tahltan entered into a tripartite agreement that many observers read as a commitment on the part of the B.C. government to seek the protection of the area. Robin Goad, Fortune Minerals CEO, wouldn’t face the crowd, but claimed in an interview on CBC radio’s As It Happens,

We would like to send out a big Thank You to the following sponsors: • Twin Valley • Tylers Towing • Evergreen • • Bv Home Center • Hawk Air • Terrace Speedway • • BVCU • Wetzin’kwa • • Coast Mountain GM • Tatlow Tire • • Gus Poirier Construction • Moricetown Esso • • Kyah Industries • Moricetown Enterprise •

that, “coal mining is relatively benign,” when compared to other metallurgical excavation. Most residents of the region seem to disagree. “To have Fortune come in and attempt to start an open-pit coal mine after Shell was evicted is just too much to take,” McGiffin said. “These companies don’t seem to understand the negative impact they will have on the Tahltan way of life.”

The demonstration makes it clear that the protection of the Sacred Headwaters is a national concern and that support for the Tahltan and others opposing the project extends well beyond provincial boundaries, McGiffin added. “The support shown by people of Ontario for the protection of the Klappan was incredible,” she said. “People travelled for over two hours to attend the demonstration. They understand that in standing up for the protection of this area, the Tahltan are doing a tremendous service for present and future Canadians.”

a new season

Dozens of concerned citizens gathered outside the head office of Fortune Minerals Ltd. in London, Ontario, to send a message to the company that their proposed open-pit coal mine is not welcome in the Sacred Headwaters. Although the protesters applauded the company’s withdrawal for the season, they strongly opposed Fortune’s stated commitment to move the project forward. The exploration activities undertaken by Fortune Minerals disturbed traditional hunting activities that the Tahltan were carrying out at their camps adjacent to the exploration site, causing significant friction between the groups which led to a stand-off and eventual occupation of two Fortune Mineral drill sites. “I think we sent a pretty strong message,” Emily McGiffin, who recently moved to Toronto to pursue a PhD in environmental science after many years as a resident of Smithers and Hazelton, said.

CANADIAN COMMUNITY NEWSPAPER AWARD 2013

Should letters be edited?

hould Letters to the Editor be edited for factual accuracy? This discussion started in the newsroom last week after Smithers Mayor Taylor Bachrach made a post on his Facebook page, clarifying some factual inaccuracies in a letter we ran the week before. “A letter published in this week’s Interior News included reference to the Town spending $400,000 on bike racks. I have checked with staff and they have confirmed that the 75 new racks cost $34,895 including labour and materials. This was offset by several grants we received. I’m sure the author of the letter has the community’s best interests at heart but unfortunately the numbers she cited are not correct,” Bachrach stated. A few comments were made in the post criticizing The Interior News for not correcting those figures. If this is “a rule” as one respondent pointed out, it’s one I am not aware of and have never been taught. From my research, it appears this is handled differently depending on the newspaper and company. Our policy has always been to simply edit grammar, spelling and to ensure letters are not slanderous or libelous in any way. Outside of that, I believe you are welcome to express your opinion, informed or not, in a Letter to the Editor. If your beliefs are based on some outto-lunch figures you have never bothered to confirm with the source, then I think having those numbers remain as written is an important part of the letter. Those community members who are more informed or read about the bike rack costs in The Interior News know better. Letters to the Editor are opinion pieces. You may not agree with them but they’re part of a larger community dialogue. If you see things you know or believe to be factually inaccurate, please write a letter in reply. Do you think letters should be edited for factual accuracy? We think not. Ryan Jensen, The Interior News

Science losing ground to superstition From Stockholm to Sydney to Sicamous, September was a bad month for science. In Sweden, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change finally issued its widely leaked update on human-caused global warming. As expected, it downgraded predictions of temperature rise in the face of 15 years of measurements that show little or no average surface temperature increase. The official spin also went as expected. The revelation that more than a dozen computer prediction models have all more

or less agreed, and all have been wrong, was played down. The IPCC went from “very likely” to “extremely likely” to affirm its belief in human-caused warming, even as its own core evidence went the other way. Again and again we are told that the vast majority of scientists believe in human-caused warming, and those who don’t are labeled “skeptics” or even “deniers” with hidden agendas. The problem is, science isn’t supposed to be done by polls or popularity contests, or assertions of faith like those that greeted Galileo’s wild claim that Earth

and the shifting theories advanced to explain them. Speaking of temperature data, David Suzuki had a problem with that at a TV town hall in Australia. Polite, wellinformed questions soon revealed that while Suzuki rails constantly about the horrors of global warming, he doesn’t actually know much about the latest science. As I’ve written before regarding his CBC-funded attacks on Canada’s oil and gas industry, Suzuki is not only behind on his homework, he resorts to cheap, sensational tricks to exaggerate

and misrepresent hazards. His tactics are identical to the U.S.-financed environment groups that obsessively target Canadian petroleum. As for his appearance on Australia’s public broadcaster, don’t take my word for it. Just Google “An Audience with David Suzuki” and watch the show for yourself. It’s ironic that as the “information age” accelerates, our society, overwhelmed by conflicting messages, slips back towards superstition.

Survey a fishing expedition Editor: People should be aware of a survey currently being conducted by Ipsos-Reid on pipelines. We were contacted by IpsosReid last week and being familiar with them as a reputable polling firm, agreed to answer their “survey.” However it soon became apparent that this “survey” is not much more than a fishing expedition. No matter how much we tried to get the point across that our personal opinion is that we feel pipelines are a threat to the environment and not worth the risk, the person at the other end of the line responded time and time again with questions like, “yes but, what do you think are the benefits

of a pipeline?” When we asked who their employer was, they indicated that, “you could tell by the questions,” it was indeed a pipeline company. I have a feeling when the survey “results” are in, the company will be trying to tell Canadians that their survey indicates that the people of B.C. are in favour — something to watch for.

Is LNG for us? Editor : The northwest is on the cusp of a massive change. Sometimes change is for the better. Sometimes it is not. Currently there are 14 natural gas pipelines and LNG plants proposed for the northwest. It is highly unlikely all of this will proceed. But how many will and where will they be? Some “proposals” are becoming realities of slashed

and staked survey lines. Landowners are being offered wads of money. This is how the natural gas industry works. Pipelines need compressor stations with turbine engines and flare stacks. Pipelines will bring fracking. If you value your fishing spot or a favourite stretch of river to walk along, it is time to get involved. If you value mushroom picking or moose hunting, it is

time to get involved. If you drink water or breathe air, it is time to get involved. All bound for foreign markets, the world’s largest tankers will enter our ports. How secure is the price of natural gas on the world market, as numerous other countries join the race? The B.C. government claims this is our golden goose. We’ve all smelled a rotten egg before. We’ve seen boom/bust economies that fill pockets overnight, and leave a legacy of turmoil. Education is the key to understanding what is proposed, and how it will affect us. As communities and stewards we need to decide what we want for the future, for ourselves and for the northwest. Marnie Pole Kispiox Valley

N EWS N. Health visits town By Nolan Kelly Smithers/Interior News

NEW LOCATION

Representatives from Northern Health visited Smithers last week to undertake a seniors’ wellness and healthy aging consultation at the Pioneer Activity Centre. Around 75 seniors from Smithers and the surrounding community turned out to partake in the informal, roundtable discussion. Northern Health’s objective was to listen, record and report on the experience of senior citizens and their hopes and ideas. “We got some fantastic feedback and it will be really helpful as we compile the information going forward,” Steve Raper, Northern Health director of communications said. Northern Health’s goal is to find out what is and isn’t working in various communities across the north, and

allow them to compare and contrast their own policies once the report is released. “It’s a range of things. It’s not just health issues. It can be something simple like changing a light bulb or mowing the lawn. These don’t seem like major issues, but when they compound it can make it very difficult for senior citizens to stay in their homes,” Raper said. “With just a little more support or help, these people could realistically stay in their homes longer, which is where most seniors would like to be.” Other issues might include: access to recreational facilities, walking trails and social gatherings. Past consultations on different health issues have produced meaningful results. During a previous seminar on mens’ health, Northern Health’s report found that men were more likely to visit

FA R ME

a temporary clinic in a convenient location, rather than their doctor. So they recommended setting up temporarily clinics at workplaces and events. “Quite often, men won’t go and see their doctor,” Raper said. “But if they can make a quick trip down to see a physician on their coffee break, the can get screened earlier for something that might cause major health issues later on.” Though their report isn’t binding, Raper hopes that communities around the north will take stock of what areas they can improve upon. “We just want to illustrate it. We know that through this report and these consultations we can influence the decisions within a community.” Northen Health will travel through 12-14 different communities this fall and release their findings in a report next spring.

Communities ill-equipped to deal with derailment From OIL on Front Even prior to the oil-by-rail document reaching the media, Smithers Volunteer Fire Chief Keith Stecko was sounding the alarm as to our area’s vulnerability if a derailment of hazardous materials were to occur. Stecko told a recent town council meeting his department is not prepared to deal with spills or explosions like the one that happened in Lac-Megantic, Quebec. “The real issue is, what would happen if that type of event occurred here and where would this kind of response come from?” Stecko asked. “Certainly I can tell you our fire department is not trained for this kind of event. This would require specialized equipment, specialized training.”

In the past, Stecko said CN had a hazardous materials response team stationed in Smithers. Now, it could take half a day to get people and equipment here, he said. “My concern is when this event occurs, where is the response coming from? How quickly can it get here and how quickly can the situation be mitigated?” Stecko said. “Largely, these types of responders are contractors that come from distances away from our community. Response times in excess of 12 hours I’ve been told.” Skeena-Bulkley Valley MP Nathan Cullen said he is hearing from his constituents that not enough is being done to equip communities with the tools needed to respond to a train derailment where

hazardous materials are involved. “That’s not me saying that, it’s our local fire chiefs and mayors,” Cullen said. “It just feels like more and more is coming down the line and CN hasn’t done a great job of bringing communities alongside and funding both the safety infrastructure that we need, overpasses in certain places, as well as the training that is required if something were to go wrong. For someone to come in and propose, literally, thousands and thousands of tankers with bitumen in them, in light of the disaster in Quebec seems like a recipe to turn the public off even before the conversation starts. “The public is very wary of this idea in the north.” CN Rail did not respond to an interview request by deadline.

In Feb. 2012, 46 CN Rail cars containing coal derailed 16 kms west of Houston.

Fire Prevention Week 2013

Smithers Fire Rescue Reminds Smithers Residents to “Prevent Kitchen Fires” Smithers, BC, October 1, 2013 - It’s time for Fire Prevention Week, and from October 6th to 12th, Smithers Fire Rescue is joining forces with the nonprofit National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) to remind local residents to “Prevent Kitchen Fires.” During this year’s fire safety campaign, firefighters and safety advocates will be spreading the word about the dangers of kitchen fires - most of which result from unattended cooking and teaching local residents how to prevent kitchen fires from starting in the first place. According to the latest NFPA research, cooking is the leading cause of home fires. Two of every five home fires begin in the kitchen - more than any other place in the home! Cooking fires are also the leading cause of home fire-related injuries. “Often when we’re called to a fire that started in the kitchen, the residents tell us that they only left the kitchen for a few minutes,” said local Fire Chief, Keith Stecko. “Sadly, that’s all it takes for a dangerous fire to start. We hope that Fire Prevention Week will help us reach folks in the community before they’ve suffered a damaging lesson.” Among the safety tips that firefighters and safety advocates will be emphasizing: •

Stay in the kitchen when you are frying, grilling, broiling, or boiling food.

•

When you cook, wear clothing with tight-fitting sleeves.

•

If you must leave the room, even for a short period of time, turn off the stove.

•

When you are simmering, baking, or roasting food, check it regularly, stay in the home, and use a timer to remind you.

Keep potholders, oven mitts, wooden utensils, paper and plastic bags, towels, and anything else that can burn, away from your stovetop.

•

Clean up food and grease from burners and stovetops.

•

If you have young children, use the stove’s back burners whenever possible. Keep children and pets at least three feet away from the stove.

Fire Prevention Week is actively supported by fire departments across the country. Fire Prevention Week is the longest running public health and safety observance on record. For more information: Keith Stecko Fire Chief Smithers Fire Rescue 250-847-2015 kstecko@smithers.ca

Equipment purchase increases pool’s accessibility By Ryan Jensen Smithers/Interior News

The Bulkley Valley Regional Pool is now more accessible that ever. Last month, the pool spent about $16,000 to purchase and install new lifts throughout the facility. One has been placed in the wheelchair-accessible family changeroom and tracks are positioned above the tot pool and between the hot tub and the main pool making all areas of the pool open to those with physical disabilities. “We don’t want anyone who is in a wheelchair to feel like they can’t use the facility,” said manager Michial Seginowich. “There’s a lot of people in town who haven’t

“... I’d love to see them get in the water for the first time,” -Michial Seginowich BV Pool and Rec Centre facility manager

been in our pool and I’d love to see them get in the water for the first time and enjoy our facility.” All staff at the BV Pool are trained in the lift’s use and Seginowich said he is looking at other additions to the system that can be purchased in the future to add to the facility’s accessibility. Besides being an enjoyable pastime, Seginowich said the health benefits of regular

time in the pool are well documented. With the new lifts, aquafit classes and swimming lessons are now within reach for those who previously were not able to get in the water, he said. If anyone in the community is interested in seeing how the lifts work and if they can use them they are encouraged to come down to the pool, Seginowich said, and the staff can provide a demonstration.

Facility manager Michial Seginowich and lifeguard Robert Hamelin demonstrate one of the new lifts installed at the BV Pool last month.

Ink Spots take me back to my twenties

ttended two concerts: Mark Perry and then The Ink Spots. I had heard Mark Perry sing before at the Music Festival but with the background noise I really never “heard” him. His sense of humour, talking away during the performance, was as great as his music. I certainly am a fan now. I have a short interview program on CICK and one time I was sitting in the station with Glen Ingram, station manager, discussing the fact that I did not have a guest for that day’s program. Trying to come up with a solution, someone came to the station door. Glen greeted him and then suggested I interview this fellow. I had no idea who he was but said sure, he came in and sat down. We were well into the program before I realized he was Mark Perry! With the Ink Spots I was carried back to my twenties with each song. A walk down memory lane! Very

hard to continue sitting, almost overcome by the need to get up and dance. A woman came up to me a day later to tell me a story. She belongs to a singing group, was in the grocery store and overheard this man singing to himself. She was impressed by his singing ability and went over to speak to him. “You have a great voice,” she told him. He replied with a thank you. She asked him if he was from Smithers and would he be interested in joining her group. He smiled and pulled out a poster,

pointing to himself on the poster; in big letters the poster said, “The Ink Spots.” Also attended a workshop hosted by Northern Health: Let’s Talk About Healthy Aging and Seniors’ Wellness. We were asked to answer two questions: what is working in your community to help seniors stay healthy, get better and live well with illness; what could be improved in your community to help seniors stay healthy, get better and live well with illness. The Northwest Animal Shelter and the Smithers Saltos Gymnastics have been selected to receive funds generated by the Smithers presentation of the Banff Mountain Film Festival October 3. A thank you goes out to Sieghard with Outdoor Essentials for selecting them. Tickets available at Outdoor Essentials and Frontier Chrysler. Closing with: It takes as much energy to wish as it does to plan. Eleanor Roosevelt.

Birds have started storing food

FOR THE BIRDS Brenda Mallory

y goodness is this a nice time of the year! The wasps have left for the most part and the bears are still here which is fine by me. I still have coyotes roaming the yard on the lookout for a rabbit feast. Poor rabbits. Today was a fascinating time as far as the sharp-shinned hawk and the crows are concerned. For quite a long time, the birds chased each other from here to there. Then when they needed a rest both birds would sit on the same branch. Have a rest and let’s go again. If you have hawks and crows in your area you will notice the high pitched sound of the hawk with the crows

An increasingly common sight this fall: geese flying south for the winter.

adding a gurgling kind of sound. No pigeons for them today. I have had several calls about the collared doves this week. Will they be a problem I am asked? I gather that they will be quite invasive as time goes on. Someone mentioned that they had heard about a bounty on the birds in Ontario. Finally I have heard a stellers jay in my forested area. Maybe the bird will stay for the winter. I will have to buy some peanuts

in the shell. Blue jays in Fort Nelson are storing food already. I hear from Dease Lake that the gray jays are busy storing as well. Collared doves there too! Some ducks etc. reported from here as well as from Shelley’s Lagoon near Prince George. A few mallards, ruddy duck and an American coot or two. Have you seen all the cranes? I sat in the field last night and watched very long skeins of this big bird

fly over. I never can quite figure out how many are in a group. Hundreds for sure. At least seven big groups. A couple smaller groups of Canada Geese. Some cranes flew over Parker Lake in the Northeast. I hope you don’t mind if I move

away from the birds for just a moment. Today I bought a new chainsaw! It is a Stihl battery powered machine. Now this is very slick. I bought it at Evergreen in Smithers. One good thing about a small town you know for sure that help is forthcoming when you buy stuff. I had the lesson on how things work. I was oiled so to speak and sent home all pleased with myself. They did think my name is Wilma. What can you do? We soon figured out who I am. Those of us who live in small towns are so lucky to be able to buy what we need. How is the saw? Haven’t used it much yet but it is quite powerful. Not too heavy for this old widow. Let me know if you see any of the little migratory fellows. Call 250-846-5095.

Sea Cadets send Fitzpatrick to South Korea Smithers boy sees the world through free youth program By Ryan Jensen Smithers/Interior News

After just more than four years in the 204 Babine Sea Cadet Corp., Zach Fitzpatrick has had some amazing opportunities to see Canada and the world. This summer, the 16-year-old was one of five Cadets from across Canada chosen to go on a trip to South Korea. Zach put his name forward to be included on all of the international exchanges available to the 204 Babine Sea Cadets and was selected for the South Korean trip. Fitzpatrick joined a group of two dozen other youth from South Korea, Thailand, China and the UK on the three-week tour. “I was ready to experience anything,” Zach said. “It really opened up my eyes and I definitely want to travel more now.” Among the highlights of the trip were visiting Seoul, a mega-city with a metropolitan population of about 26 million people, going to the Demilitarized Zone in between North and South Korea and experiencing

an amusement park. “It was like a Korean Disneyland,” Zach said with a laugh. The cadets also had the opportunity to visit traditional villages, historical sites and explore Korean culture

and food. Colin said he was very impressed with how well the exchange was run and was never concerned about his son’s safety in this contentious part of the world. The family even

received regular email updates from the Canadian commanding officer on the trip. “His mom was a little bit concerned,” Colin admitted. “If anything were to go sideways, the Department of National

Defence would have been able to get them out of the country quickly.” In his time as a Cadet, Zach has travelled to Montreal and participated in camps in Vernon, Cold Lake, AB and on Quadra Island.

He’s learned to sail, been taught marksmanship and worked his way through a fitness course. “It’s been really good to learn team building and you get to meet a lot of people,” Zach said of some of the benefits of the Cadets program. “It’s really good for leadership experience as well.” All of the program costs are covered by the DND. In fact, Zach was even paid a small amount for his trip to South Korea. With his younger son also in the program, Colin said he is very appreciative of what they have learned in the program and said he’s amazed more families don’t take advantage of the opportunity.

Cuba picks up Latin Grammy nomination By Ryan Jensen Smithers/Interior News

Alex Cuba’s latest Latin Grammy nomination for his video Eres Tu involved a real team effort. And most of those team members call the Bulkley Valley their home. Last Wednesday, Cuba was in the middle of an interview with a Chicago radio station when the Latin Grammy nominations were announced. Once it was over, he noticed his phone was blowing up with messages of congratulations from friends from all over the world. “I’m particularly happy with the

nomination, not just for me but for all the other people who worked on the video,” said Cuba from his hotel room in Louisville, Kentucky. “We are very lucky to have people like this in town.” The nomination isn’t uncharted territory for Cuba. He won a Latin Grammy in 2010 for Best New Artist. What makes this nomination special, he said, is the number of people from the area who came together to create the amazing music video. It was co-directed by Taylor Fox and Christian Bielz. This is the third video Cuba, Fox and Bielz have collaborated on. Facundo Gastiazoro looked

after the props, Hans Saefkow was responsible for the lighting, Carter’s Jewellers chipped in and Mark Perry helped Cuba secure the building for the shoot (now torn down, it was located on CN Rail property). Salt Boutique proprietor Caroline Marko also made a guest appearance. Cuba’s network of support also played a large role in the video’s success. “I had the support of my whole family and that makes it beautiful for me,” he said. The filming of the video followed a path Cuba has been travelling since he came to Canada. And he hasn’t had to compromise

quality by staying independent, he said. “I’m always able to do more with less,” Cuba said. “I’m a firm believer that even when you work with limitations, if you’re talented, your talent will come across. A creative soul will seek out other creative souls.” Cuba is in the middle of a U.S. tour that has seen him perform from Cleveland to Louisville, Kentucky. He’s playing in Northampton, Massachusetts tonight then in Shippensburg, Pennsylvania tomorrow and Potsdam, New York on Friday.

A year-long community creative process ends this month with a celebration. On Oct. 4 at Hazelton’s Misty Rivers Gallery and Oct. 11 at the Smithers Art Gallery the Life Exposure, Images of Community exhibits will open. It was inspired by Positive Living North’s Reflections of Hope Camera Project. Participants were asked to answer one or all of the questions through photography: How do I see my community? How is my culture alive? How do I see myself? and What brings me joy? More than 200 entries were received for the project. “I think one of the things I realized is how willing our community is to take part in a project that they feel invited into,” BV Arts Council member Miriam Colvin said. “I was so astounded to receive photos from a six-year-old, people who are homeless and grandmothers.” Ninety photos in total will be on display in the two galleries. Both exhibits can be viewed all month. The openings start at 7 p.m.

Trio head to 100 Mile to pursue junior dreams By Nolan Kelly Smithers/Interior News

Three former minor league hockey players from Smithers are suiting up for the expansion 100 Mile House Wranglers in the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League this season, hoping that a jump to Junior-B will pave the way to future hockey success. Mike Lynch, Luke Santerno and Stephan Egan all grew up together, their Smithers hockey careers culminating in a season for the Midget Storm under head coach Brendan Hutchinson last year, “We had a really good group of kids last year,” Hutchinson said. “They’re good people, good players, they took instruction really well, so it’s great to see them having success at the next level. There is lots of buzz in 100 Mile House about the team and it sounds like the kids are having fun with it.” By expansion standards, the Wranglers are off to an excellent start with a 3-3-1 record after seven games and the trio from Smithers have been major contributors. Luke Santerno leads the team in goal scoring

Luke Santerno, Mike Lynch and Stephan Egan have all moved to 100 Mile House this autumn to play Junior-B hockey for the expansion Wranglers.

Gaven Crites photos

with six goals, forward Mike Lynch has two assists through seven games and Stephan Egan has been a defensive, physical force, killing penalties and leading the Wrangler’s checking line. They ended up with

the Wranglers after attending the team’s hockey camp last spring. Each player brought something different to the table, but they all caught the eye of first year head coach Doug Rogers.

Employees meet employers here…

All three were offered conditional cards at the end of the tryout, and were pursued heavily by Rogers throughout the summer before they eventually decided to commit. “We had been

watching each of these guys for quite awhile last year,” Rogers said. “Heading into the season, getting them on our team was our primary focus.” The trio are hoping that a successful season in Junior-B will lead

to bigger and better things. First, a chance at playing Junior-A, and then a scholarship at a U.S. college or Canadian university if all goes to plan. Before getting there, each player is working to improve upon their

skill sets and fitness. Head coach Doug Rogers preaches hard work above all else. “He is awesome, he really works us hard,” Egan said. “As an expansion team, our focus is to outwork everyone and he is really helping with that.” For 17-year-olds in a league with players as old as 20, the adjustment can be harsh at times, but so far none have looked out of place. Fortunately, they all have the necessary attributes to succeed. Egan probably won’t burn out the goal lamp this season, but his intangibles are off the chart. “Stephan is extremely physical,” Hutchinson said. “He’s great on the penalty kill, a great forechecker, he’s a good leader and a good teammate. He’s one of those players that every team needs and wants, but doesn’t always get the recognition they deserve.” “The more you watch and the longer you’ve been around, you realize those players are a real asset.” Santerno’s off to a scorching start, which has a lot to do with his on-ice smarts.

S PORTS Happy Ads to Remember” High School students take to the ice “Moments “Happy Birthday” By Nolan Kelly Smithers/Interior News

The Smithers Secondary Hockey Canada Skills Academy Program is back for its second season. This year, the program has roughly doubled in size, from 30 students to 50, and now includes Grade 8 and 9 students. The course allows hockey players to take either an elective or a physical education credit and spend it on the ice rink. They then focus on individual skill set development, not on learning systems. It was developed by Hockey Canada as a way for young hockey players to get away from the rigours of team practice and focus more on creativity; it’s meant to compliment the skills taught by minor hockey teams. As such, one of the requirements is that students must be registered in minor hockey. “It’s targeted towards players who have already played hockey,” teacher and program director Derek Holland said. “It’s meant to be a

development course, not an intro to hockey course.” The students are split into junior and senior groups with the Grade 8 and 9s practicing three times a week in the morning, and the seniors three times a week in the afternoon. Students are on the ice for three 80 minute sessions and two off-ice sessions per week. The off-ice training focuses on goal setting, strength and conditioning, nutrition and injury awareness and management. At the beginning of the year, Holland asks each player what they would like to work on, then incorporates it into his program. So far, after two years of full enrolment, he’s pleased with the results. “As far as I’m concerned, I think it’s going really well, from our perspective, but you’d have to talk to the kids.” The kids agree. “I’ve been playing hockey for 12 years, so signing up was a no-brainer,” student Cole Michelle, who also plays house league midget, said. “It’s increased my skill a lot, it teaches us

all around ability. Holland helped get the program going two years ago. “I had been wanting to do something like this for a long time. It was just a matter of getting the school and the administration on board and for whatever reason, last year just seemed like the right time to do it.” Eventually, Holland would like to expand it to elementary schools as well. “I think once the second sheet of ice is ready to go, we will look into expanding. I know the school board and the administration are keen to get

something going for the younger age groups.” The Hockey Canada Skills Academy Program was created at the Open Ice Summit in 1999, after the Canadian Men’s hockey team’s fourth place finish at the Nagano Olympics. Their goal was to, “Promote cooperative efforts between school

Here is another source of free money and we all like free money! By opening an RDSP you can receive free money. First, is the disability savings grant where you can get up to $3500 per year, this grant is available if family income is below $85,414. If family income is above that the grant can be as much as $1000. The lifetime maximum for grants is $70,000 over the lifetime of the beneficiary. But there’s more, there is the disability savings bond for households below $24,863, for family incomes between this and $42,707 the bond is based on a formula in the disability savings act. The maximum for the Bond is $20,000. Grants and Bonds are also backdated to 2008 if you qualify. This could add up to $90,000! To open an RDSP a person has to qualify for the Disability Tax Credit, be under age 60, has valid SIN# and is a Canadian Resident. If you feel you or a household member has a disability or already qualifies for the disability amount, give serious thought to an RDSP.

S PORTS Steelheads begin quest for elusive three-peat this week By Nolan Kelly Smithers/Interior News

The two-time defending Central Interior League Champion Smithers Steelheads are back and ready to defend their title. Though most of their championship team is intact, the Steelheads have made a few key changes. Last season, the Steelheads ran away with the CIHL Central Division, posting a 15-3-0 record, 16 points clear of the second place Omenica Ice, while leading the league in goal scoring (106) and goals against (44). The Steelheads are the odds on favourite this season, but they’re missing a few key pieces from last year’s championship squad and will need their recent additions and role players to step up and take on bigger roles. Gone are the team’s third and fourth leading scorers, Lane Perry and Jody Pederson, who’ve left town for school and work. Their combined 23 goals and 49 points will be difficult to replace. Pederson led all defensemen in CIHL scoring last season with 24 points (12-924). “It was a bonus to have Pederson last year,” head coach Tom DeVries said. “We knew ahead of time that he might be here temporarily. These guys are still young, so they are looking into school and other opportunities.” With Pederson out and fellow defenceman Spencer Brooks a question mark to return, DeVries might play a forward or two on the back end. At this point, Ian Smith is the leading candidate but they might get help from former Wolverine Keegan Jack, who is still deciding whether or not he’ll play. “Both Pederson and Brooks are big, good skating defenceman and it

will be a big blow to lose them on the back end,” captain Daryl Young said. “We are just going to have to step up and play better defensively as a team. We still have some top defenceman in this league though. Ryan DeVries, Devon Booth and Eric Smith are all great players.” Up front the Steelheads have added two big pieces to the puzzle, in centre Amedee Marshall and winger Kirk Meaver. Marshall last played for the Hazelton Wolverines during the 2009-10 season, where he averaged just under a point a game. “He’s going to be a great asset for us,” DeVries said. “He’s got finesse, he’s a playmaker and he’s a goal scorer.” Meaver is a former four year WHLer, who spent parts of two seasons with the Prince George Cougars. He hasn’t played competitively in a few years, but DeVries is impressed with what he’s seen so far. “He’s a very good player. He just moved to town, but he doesn’t look out of place at all.” The additions of Meaver and Marshall will go a long way towards replacing some of the offence the Steelheads lost last year. In net, the Steelheads still boast the CIHL’s best goalie, Mike Wall, though they’ll have to do without him for the first month or so of the season. Tyler Perreault and Steve Andrade, who backed the Steelheads to their recent Challenge Cup victory, will share the duties until Wall returns. As usual, the Steelheads top competition will come from the Williams Lake Stampeders and the Kitimat Ice Demons. “Kitimat is always up there, but I feel like we can still beat them,” Young said. “Williams Lake is probably going to be our biggest competition. They have a revolving case

of guys that always seem to do well.” “Our expectations are another title,” DeVries said. “But even though you’ve won a couple in a row, you still have to go out and prove yourself.” “Up until last year, we’d never won two in a row, so this would be something.” Their title defence 24 UNIT begins this Friday when they travel to Houston to take on the Luckies.

From TRIO on B1 “Luke has a really strong hockey IQ,” Hutchinson said. “He’s one of those guys that just naturally sees the game at a slower pace. He’s a great passer and he protects the puck really well.” Santerno was recently named an affiliate player by the Merritt Centennials of the BCHL, meaning, he’ll get a chance to practice with the team this season and will likely suit up in Junior-A. “It bodes well for him, being on the radar,” Hutchinson said. “He’s had a good

start to the season there and teams above are taking notice.” As the oldest of the three, Lynch has the smallest window to play Junior-B, but his game is a little more advanced than the two players his junior. Lynch was one of the last cuts at the Cowichan Capitals Junior-A camp this fall and from the sounds of it he’ll be one of the top players on the team this year. “Mike is one of the most offensively gifted players on our team,” Rogers said. Though being one of the last cuts at camp can be tough for

a player to take, it can also be a blessing in disguise. “Mike is a special player,” Hutchinson said. “But it’s a big jump from tier three hockey to junior. You have to learn systems, you have to learn how the game is played. I think this year playing Junior-B will be good for him to help him bridge the gap.” Coach Rogers hopes that all three will play a major part in helping the Wranglers make the playoffs in their inaugural season, and, in the process, further their own minor league careers.

SAFE ON SHORE Gitksan Watershed Authority workers, Shawn Harris, above, and Rodney Harris saved a juvenile Grizzly bear from drowning in mid-September. The two GWA employees were doing routine reconnaissance when they discovered the bear caught in a fishing net in the middle of the Skeena River near the village of Gitsegukla. It took some time, but the two managed to get the animal safely to shore where it quickly removed itself from the net and disappeared into the forest. See story on page C2. Contributed photo

Rescue rangers save bear from peril

normal run the GWA make during the fishing season. “We pulled up and the bear was looking pretty tired, out in the middle of the river. We pulled as much of the net in as we could.” First the duo pulled the anchor line, which is the end of the net, ashore, but the bear was still unable to free itself from the net. “Then we went to where the net was tied up on shore and pulled the net in until the bear could stand up. Once he got to a point where the tension from the river was off him he bit the ropes off and ran away.” The daring rescue took nearly

Hazelton/Interior News

When Shawn Harris and his uncle Rodney, a ranger with the Gitksan Watershed Authority, set out for a routine check of the Skeena River in mid-September they had no idea they would be saving a bear’s life. They rounded a corner on the river near Gitsegukla close to noon and spotted a three or four-year-old Grizzly struggling to keep its head above the swiftly moving water. “It was the last net we regularly check,” Rodney said, about the

two hours from start to finish, but waiting for other authorities wasn’t an option, Rodney said. “We called the conservation officers right away,” he said. “They were going to use a tranquilizer when they arrived, but we managed to get it done just before they showed up.” Rodney said some people who happened by were pleased with the decisions made by the GWA employees. “They were happy we weren’t going to shoot the bear,” Rodney said. “They were more mad at the people who didn’t check their net that morning.”

Ness earns first solo Gitxsan art show in Seattle By Jerome Turner Hazelton/Interior News

Arlene Ness is set to have her first solo exhibit of her northwest coast creations in Seattle beginning Nov. 9, but she never intended art to be a career when she began. When she began formal training in northwest coast-style art in 2006 she never imagined it would lead to a full-time endeavour. Ness, who teaches at the same school she began her training, ‘Ksan Carving School, now works mainly out of her home studio in the village of Gitanmaax. “I was always interested in our art,” Ness said. “I was exposed to the Gitxsan style, like anyone is, living in this community. When I started my formal training I realized that I had a lot to learn.” To this day, Ness seeks out more established Gitxsan and northwest

coast artists to ensure she is adhering to the rules that keep the art distinct, but at the same time help to propel the style, she said. “I’m glad I have people to talk to about the fundamentals because they are important to uphold,” she said. “However it is also important to make your own recognizable style while staying within the boundaries of the art form.” Vernon Stephens was Ness’ main instructor at the ‘Ksan school and he was constantly encouraging his students to push the boundaries of Gitxsan and northwest coast art, she added. “All my research that leads to what I create are from the old pieces that are in homes around the world. What set the Gitxsan style apart, especially in masks was the human features. I strive to keep that style with my own fresh additions.”

Arlene Ness works on a mask, which will be part of her first solo art show in Seattle next month.

The ‘Ksan school now runs every two to five years depending on funding and enrolment.

“Unfortunately there isn’t always enough people to keep it going,” Ness said. “But there are

luckily other schools.” In ‘Ksan’s stead, the Frieda Diesing School of Northwest Coast Art, which happens mainly at the Northwest Community College in Terrace, picks up the necessary slack. In October, Ness, who also attended the Diesing school, will be teaching a carving course in Terrace. “All of the courses I teach are introductory,” Ness said. “This one will be teaching students how to make their own carving tools.” Ness will lead students through the basics of molding steel into various shapes needed to produce northwest coast art. To do so, students will use torches, sanders and grinders, she said. Ness learned how to make tools from Vernon Stephens, a well-known Gitxsan artist who has been teaching at ‘Ksan for more than three decades. “I was very privileged to learn from Vernon,”

Ness said. “‘Ksan really shaped the artist I am today.” The main mask depicted on posters for her upcoming show, Copper Woman Moon, tells a story, like all Gitxsan art, Ness said. “She was Wegyet’s wife,” Ness said. “She had an affinity for salmon and they would always come to her call or whistle. She leaves Wigyet because he was foolish and she took all the salmon with her. So through lack of care Wigyet loses a good woman who cared for him.” Ness’ show, Children of the Sky, runs from Nov. 9 to 23 at the Steinbrueck Native Gallery in Seattle. “I’m happy and excited,” Ness said. “There’s a definite sense of accomplishment. Up to this point art was not something I really considered a career. Somehow this all just came together and it feels good to be moving in a positive direction.”

Nothing that frightens me more than the prospect of surrendering the future to an ill equipped generation. Somewhere between Happy Days and Who’s the Boss an entire throng of ‘I’m rights’ were raised. Before I go any further, let me explain what I mean by the ‘I’m rights’. They are people who have enough intelligence to recognize a problem, but don’t have the slightest idea how to go about attaining a proper solution. They lack the confidence to act. In turn, they raised the next generation to believe

everything they did was the best thing to ever happen. None of this would be of any concern to me, except that there are so many of us that our short comings have the potential to derail everything. Perhaps, like some claim, we have gone past the point of no return and all is lost. I am of the notion that the doomsday clarion calls are nothing but a bunch of hot air. The ‘I’m rights’ may be the blowhards, but the ‘Golden Children’ may just facilitate a self-fulfilled outcome.

a 90-day Immediate Roadside Prohibition was enforced and the vehicle towed and impounded for 30 days. During this week, police responded to a total of four calls involving people apprehended under the Mental Health Act. The people were transported to the Wrinch Memorial Hospital to speak to a doctor and mental health worker. The RCMP have received complaints from locals of computers receiving e-mails informing people that the RCMP were monitoring their computer and they will have to pay a fee to have the computer repaired. This is a virus and scam and the RCMP are not involved in any way.
