NVSS X-Country Runners Make History On November 2nd, sixteen of the best runners from Nechako Valley Secondary school took part in the 43rd annual BC High School XCountry Championships at Aldergrove Lake Park in Langley. The weather was terrible in Langley, with 50 to 80 millimetres of rain that fell during the four championship races. First, the girls’ team ran 4.3 kilometres and placed fifth overall making it the fourth time in the past five years that they have placed in the top six overall at the provincial level. Which made history for NVSS said coach Brian Nemethy. On the girls’ team: Cierra, Kaitlyn and Georgia Verduzco, Julia Steinebach, Alison Desmarais, Bridian James-Schneider, Anika Wallace and Taryn Stephen. “This is a huge accomplishment for a small school such as NVSS,” said Ne-

methy. “My girls have to compete against school populations of 1,200 or more students and to have a team of girls run almost as fast as the teams in front of them, just shows what a small school can do if the right team dynamics are in place.” Anika led the way for the girls and placed 74th out of about 250 girls. Julia placed 75, Georgia was 92, Kaitlyn was 98, Alison was 110, Cierra was 147, Bridian was 179 and Taryn was 172 in the Junior race. The girls placed fourth in 2009, sixth in 2010, fourth in 2011 and now fifth in 2013. As for the boys team, they were 19 last year and made it to 13 this year, most of the scores were very tight though. Alexander Nemethy placed 20 overall. Charlie Borek placed 78, Kelton McKee was 127, Jonathan Mueller was 172, Patrick Harraway was 173, Kyler

Boucher was 198 and Tristal Buller was 223. Linus Jia ran the Junior race and placed 201.

“Overall it was a fantastic effort made by all members at the Championship race. They stepped up to the line

and gave their best,” said Nemethy. “What more could a coach ask for. I was very proud of them all.”

Pool designs coming Sam Redding Omineca Express Vanderhoof representatives were in Vancouver on October 31 for a tour of aquatic facilities similar to Vanderhoof’s future swimming pool. Councillor Steve Little and Chief Administration Officer Evan Parliament toured three facilities with architect Bruce Carscad-

den who will be in Vanderhoof on November 18 to unveil new designs. “We also toured a YMCA facility which provided some interesting revenue streams in terms of other programs that we can incorporate with the pool,” said Parliament. “The YMCA offers all kinds of things from daycare service to children programs to adult learning, everything that they stand for, they bundle and put in one facility, including a swimming pool. So we looked at

that operation in terms of an alternative service delivery model on how to run a pool facility.” They also had an opportunity to receive input from the architect and the City of Vancouver to discuss whether the pool should have four lanes or six, how deep should it be, how much spectator space, how much meeting room space and hot tub space. “The City of Vancouver suggested that we focus on more leisure play space and

go horizontal not vertical,” said Parliament. “Meaning don’t build a deep tank that services only a small population, go horizontal and increase space for seniors and kids where all the cross-sections of society can play.” Other comments were on whether to provide space for training exercises such as scuba diving. All of these things will be presented to council on the 18 of November.

Express Illegal dumping a problem Sam Redding Omineca Express

The Conservation Officer Service in Vanderhoof is looking for help from the public in tracking down those responsible for depositing large amounts of garbage and waste materials in rural areas near Vanderhoof. Cam Hill, Conservation Officer, has been trying to keep people from dumping at two different sites. One is just off Barlow Forest Service Road at 2.5 kilometres in. In early October, Hill found what appeared to be construction material, shop supplies for heavy duty equipment and various other items dumped on the ground. The other problematic site is in Mapes Pit just off Blackwater Road. A freezer full of meat and a large hot tub were found along with a large pile of tires which were later set on fire releasing contaminants into the air. When asked if he thought there were other dumping sites out there that nobody has checked, Hill said â&#x20AC;&#x153;Oh thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lots of them.â&#x20AC;? These dumping sites are serious problems because they can create garbage habituated bears who will then seek out more garbage and potentially cause an incident with humans. Another danger is the pollutants that can be found in some of the sites. In Barlow, Hill said that he found oil filters and cans of used motor oil, those kinds of pollutants take a long time to naturally decompose and break up. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In 2010 and 2011 we made an absolutely huge dent and my thought was if somebody doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t start the cleaning process itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s never going to happen,â&#x20AC;? said Hill. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Once we got the ball rolling there was an awful lot of interest in clean-

ing up these areas. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what makes it sad, you get all these volunteers that volunteer their free time to clean up other peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s messes and then thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s individuals that go out there and continue to throw their garbage in the bush.â&#x20AC;? In 2010 and 2011 Conservation Officer Hill and Natural Resource Officers with the Ministry of Forests Lands and Natural Resource Operations coordinated the volunteer cleanup of over 40 illegal dump sites in the Vanderhoof area. The equivalent of more than 70 pickup loads of garbage was removed from rural areas. Fines for littering and other pollution related offences under the Environmental Management Act can range from a simple $250 violation ticket to court imposed fines of up $1,000,000 depending on the type and amount of material deposited. Residents of the Nechako Valley are very fortunate to currently have access to the regional district transfer station and landfill facilities with no tipping fees for general waste disposal. One individual near Striegler Pit was charged $250 for dumping by Hill, but he agreed to go off and clean it up which is his ultimate goal. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It seems like every weekend a new pile of garbage shows up,â&#x20AC;? he said. Although Hill does have some leads into who may be responsible for the Barlow mess he is seeking the publicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s help and asking for any information which may lead to the successful prosecution of those responsible. Anyone with information on these or other fish, wildlife or environmental crimes may contact the Conservation Officer Service Call Center at 1-877-952-7277.

Fire protection upgrade Sam Redding Omineca Express The District of Vanderhoof has installed two large in-ground tanks to help out with fire protection services. One tank is at the corner of Derksen and McDonald Road and the other is buried near the western intersection of Loop Road and Old Loop Road. “If you’re in an area with no fire protection, no hydrants or water mains, you have to keep transporting water all the time,” said Paul Carver, Director of Operations for Vanderhoof in an interview before the new tanks were installed. “Now we have those storage tanks there so it reduces the need for us to go back into district, so it helps the outlying areas, Each tank holds 20,000 gallons of water to supplement fire protection

in that area. They are noticeable as big piles of dirt with warning signs nearby. There were two tanks installed near the Vanderhoof airport that have been in service since late last year. These tanks are actually former fuel tanks that have been repurposed to hold water. The municipal budget cost for each tank is $30,000 each. The tanks have to go through a lot of prep work and retrofitted before they can be placed in the ground. So now there is improved fire protection at the airport, not only just for the airport but also for the outlying area. These tanks will assist the fire department, whereas the fire departments will not have to commute as far to obtain water. The department’s equipment will be able to draw water directly from these tanks.

$66 million spent to ‘talk’ about aboriginal kids Tom Fletcher Black Press The B.C. government has spent 10 years and $66 million on meetings and consultants to discuss aboriginal “governance” of children in protective care, while actual services such as domestic violence safe houses remain inadequate to meet the need. That conclusion emerges from a new report from B.C.’s Representative for Children and Youth, Mary Ellen Turpel-Lafond, who calls it a “confused, unstable and bizarre area of public policy” where millions continue to be spent without accountability. “For example,” Turpel-Lafond wrote, “nearly $35 million was spent discussing regional aboriginal authorities, including large expenditures on paying people to meet, hiring consultants to facilitate those meetings, and producing materials of questionable practical value following such meetings that almost never addressed the actual difficulties children and youth were experiencing in their lives – issues such as parental addiction, domestic violence, poverty, neglect and the need for mental health services or special needs support.”

LOCAL CO-OP’S OFFER CATTLEMEN VALUE ADDED PROGRAMS FOR THEIR LIVESTOCK OPERATIONS Under the B.C. Government Loan Guarantee Program Are you looking for financing for grass cattle or replacement heifers to breed?

Hoteliers sought after Sam Redding Omineca Express Vanderhoof council is looking at options to make the district more attractive to hoteliers in the hopes of building a large flagship hotel. One local operator is looking to expand their current business and Vanderhoof may try to make it easier for businesses by taking part in a hotel evaluation study. In the council meeting of October

28, council heard from Evan Parliament, Chief Administration Officer, on how to show interested parties that there is a market in Vanderhoof. “Council needs to be aggressive and they’re going to consider how we can assist in locating a hotelier to come to Vanderhoof by way of incentives,” said Parliament. “Working with NDIT, with NKDF, maybe doing a hotel evaluation study. All these things will be considered during the 2014 budget considerations.”

Feeder Cattle Program

The 2014 budget discussions will be happening on November 18 and then it will go to late March or early April. The discussions will be open and members of the public are encouraged to attend. “This is taking a proactive sort of aggressive approach,” said Parliament. “Working with industry to bring a hotel to Vanderhoof that can service not just the locals but service the tourists and industry… It is on council’s radar to aggressively pursue a flagship hotel.”

RBC donates Back in time to 80 years ago Sam Redding Omineca Express Let’s go way back to 1933, the world was waking up to the dangers in Germany but the Nechako Chronicle still didn’t have the big picture, many of the newspapers of the day did not. The one mention of Hitler went “Chancellor Hitler is making a plea for the return of several African German colonies.” In the November 11 copy of the Nechako Chronicle in 1933 there was one article on a famous singer who was refused entry into Germany. Madame Schumann-Heink was German born but because she had one Jewish grandmother she was barred from coming back into the country. “They are doing many stupid things in presentday Germany.” Niagara Falls Review. In Vanderhoof, the Chronicle reported an accident with a gun involving two high school students. The one student was accidentally shot in both of his feet by his playmate. Probably a good thing we don’t let high school students horse around with guns these days. On a more happy note, the Chronicle announced the marriage of Signe Larsen to Ned Jensen and apparently the Richards moved into a new house. And Thomas Roussel, one of the original pioneer settlers of the Nechako Valley, passed away. There was also a story two women who found commercial success breeding bullfrogs on the Walking Frog Farm. They raised them to eat, taste just like chicken apparently. One more story from 1933: a book was found to be bound in the skin of its author, published in 1837. Entitled, the Narrative of the Life of James Allen, Alias George Walton, Being His Deathbed Confession to the Warden of the Massachusetts State Prison.

Workout - Warm Up With the cold weather fast approaching, warmth may be first most on your mind, so be sure to keep that in mind when planning working out, sports or other strenuous activity. Regardless of the type of workout you choose (at school, before walking, hitting the gym, martial arts etc). Warm up exercises will prevent sprains and strain that may be harmful to you continuation of activity, but a sustained injury can be deleterious to your daily activities. In winter time it is suggested that warm up exercise be increased so help prepare those already colder than normal muscles (muscles get tighter in the cold, thus injuries are more common). Some great warm up ideas, use all or combinations of them: (consider your workout and which muscles you will be using the most, be sure to target those during a warm-up) 1- Static stretches - stretch your legs, arms, hamstring, quadriceps, Achilles tendon and back no matter the type of exercise you are planning. 2- Arm circles - also some side to side as well as up and down is nice 3- Twist - legs stationary, twist and turn that torso 4- Jumping jacks - to follow stretches and not as a starter warm up 5- Walking - especially prior to a run. a good 5 minutes is great and if you feel pressed for time, here is a good place to do your arm stretches simultaneously 6- Squats - a nice difficult all body warm up - just be sure to do them correctly 7- Jump rope - (or pretend to) a little more intense to increase that heart rate (ideally tried after having completed some warm ups already) 8- Mimic - imitate your work outs moves eg. Imagining the sport will activate those same muscles to a lesser degree

Untangling oil pipeline politics VICTORIA – Reaction was swift and scattered after the “framework agreement” on new oil pipelines announced last week by B.C. Premier Christy Clark and Alberta Premier Alison Redford. First, here’s what it doesn’t mean. “B.C. blinked,” according to one Toronto commentator, based on the popular notion that B.C. gave up its claim to a share of Alberta’s resource royalties from heavy oil. Clark never made such a claim, so it would be difficult to give it up. Her often-repeated condition of a “fair share” of revenues from any new oil pipelines is purposely vague, but after repeated protests from Alberta, Clark clarified as far back as last June that provincial royalties are not on the table. There is no constitutional way to make such a demand, a point Redford has made several times. NDP leader Adrian Dix and the usual chorus of professional protesters claimed that Clark flip-flopped, opposing the Enbridge Northern Gateway proposal before the election and then embracing it once she was re-elected. This is also inaccurate. Clark’s five conditions were set out before the May election, demanding approval by a federal environmental review, “world-leading” spill prevention and response capability on land and at sea, meeting legal requirements to consult and share benefits with aboriginal communities, and the undefined “fair share” for B.C. Clark said numerous times during the campaign that the conditions have not been met, and made pessimistic noises about Northern Gateway, but she very carefully did not campaign against it. The B.C. Liberal platform also endorsed a Kitimat-area oil refinery proposed by this newspaper’s owner, and Clark repeatedly referred to that sort of industrial expansion as one of the potential “fair share” components for B.C. The B.C. Liberal government made its opposition to Northern Gateway “as currently proposed” official on May 31, two weeks after the election, in its final submission to the federal review panel. If Clark had wanted to jump on the anti-pipeline bandwagon for political gain, that move could have been made earlier. NDP environment critic Spencer Chandra Herbert said the B.C. government has taken the position that more oil will reach the West Coast, by rail if not by pipeline. I’m not sure if or when that claim was made, but it’s true that rail shipments are already permitted. Here’s what Redford and Clark agreed on. Redford accepts B.C.’s five conditions, provincial royalties excluded, and Clark endorsed Redford’s proposed “Canadian Energy Strategy,” which B.C. rejected last year. A draft of the strategy released last summer contains no specifThe Omineca Express is published every Wednesday in Vanderhoof by Black Press Ltd.

ics on how it would facilitate a pipeline project from Alberta to B.C. It talks about developing Canada’s energy reserves and at the same time somehow reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and promises a final version next spring. Oh, and Quebec refuses to participate. Ottawa has sole jurisdiction over inter-provincial projects such as Northern Gateway and the proposal by Kinder Morgan Canada to expand the 60-year-old Trans Mountain pipeline to Burnaby and refineries in Washington. If there is to be some extra revenue for B.C. from oil

traffic, it could theoretically take the form of a toll on pipelines. Redford pointed out the problem with that idea in her speech to an energy forum in Vancouver last week. She noted that 42 per cent of B.C. natural gas is piped through Alberta to markets. If B.C. can toll Alberta oil, the same could be done with B.C. gas. None of B.C.’s five conditions has yet been met. Legally, they don’t have to be, except for the one about accommodating aboriginal title.

War Amps anniversary Dear Editor, I belong to Operation Legacy, a group of members of The War Amps Child Amputee (CHAMP) Program dedicated to preserving Canada’s military heritage and teaching other young people how to carry on the remembrance message. This year, The War Amps is celebrating a major anniversary. Ninety-five years ago, First World War amputee veterans formed The Amputations Association of the Great War. The name was changed to The War Amputations of Cana-

da when Second World War amputees joined their ranks. These men later started the CHAMP Program to assist young amputees like me. In addition to having had the privilege of learning about Canada’s military heritage from a young age, I also know what it is like to live without a limb – a strong bond that I share with war amputee veterans. Because of this, I feel it is my duty to ensure that the stories of war are preserved and its lessons never forgotten. I have been fortunate to be involved with Operation Legacy by participating in local Remem-

brance Day ceremonies and laying wreaths on behalf of The War Amps. I have also donated documentaries from The War Amps Military Heritage Series to the Cranbrook Public Library. I encourage everyone – particularly young people – to learn more through The War Amps Military Heritage Series documentaries, which are available at a costrecovery price at waramps.ca. Sincerely, Nicole Byford Operation Legacy Member, Cranbrook

Remembrance Day ceremonies at school

Mauve Friday is Coming. Black Friday will never be the same.

Sam Redding Omineca Express Two minutes of silence were observed at the eleventh hour on the eleventh month but not on the eleventh day for the schools of Vanderhoof. NVSS and other

Vanderhoof schools held their Remembrance Day ceremonies on November 8. There were representatives from Vanderhoof RCMP, the Fire Department, the Rangers and many others including Saik’uz First Nations. The Saik’uz repre-

sentatives presented a story about Dick Patrick, a veteran of the Second World War. Patrick was from the Stoney Creek band and served for six years in the European campaign as a scout among other duties. Patrick came back

from the war and walked into a Vanderhoof coffee shop and ordered a coffee. But First Nations were not allowed in some shops and weren’t allowed in bars either so Patrick was arrested. Luckily Patrick had contact with a lawyer who got him out of trouble. But Patrick went right back to the coffee shop and tried again, the Saik’uz representatives at NVSS said that Patrick was arrested and released 11 times for “disturbing the peace.” The ceremonies continued with a rendition of Amazing Grace performed by Sarah Ebert and the high school band class. Also played during the ceremony at NVSS were Fantasy on a Irish

jig, It’s the Soldier, and the song Highway of Heroes by The Trews.
