Cullen exits NDP leadership contest

By Ryan Jensen Smithers/Interior News

Nathan Cullen will not be seeking the leadership of the BC NDP. The SkeenaBulkley Valley MP announced on Friday he had decided to step aside from the contest to focus on his duties in Ottawa, where he also serves as Official Opposition House Leader. “I gave it a long, hard look over the last couple of months and now have decided to keep on in my role as a federal MP for Skeena and work towards building that government we’ve so long wished for in 2015, which is when we expect the next election to be,” Cullen said. “We started something with Jack

[Layton] and have continued so strongly with Tom [Mulcair]. I don’t think that job is done either.” Some major issues will be decided federally for the province, like the Enbridge Northern Gateway pipeline, and Cullen said he felt he was well positioned to fight for the interests of residents of northwest B.C. “British Columbia is really the battleground for us and the Conservatives,” he said. “I think where a lot of this fight will happen is with Mr. Harper and what his visions are going to be for Canada and for B.C.” Stikine MLA Doug Donaldson told The Interior News he had spoken with

Cullen numerous times over the last couple of months and also felt the MP’s work federally could play a pivotal role in some key B.C. issues. “Given the importance of the issues we face in the northwest that are influenced by the federal government it would be really good for him to try to win government in Ottawa... and that seems like it’s becoming more of a possibility,” Donaldson said. Despite last May’s election disaster, Donaldson said he was confident in the future of the BC NDP. “We’ve been doing some analysis and I don’t think that everything necessarily went wrong,” he said. “We need to look at

a few things, make some adjustments. I think we have people in place who can become good leaders and lead us to a win in 2017.”

B.C.-Alberta pipeline deal reached

Service Selection Satisfaction

Bulkley Valley politicans say nothing really gained

By Ryan Jensen Smithers/Interior News

Stikine MLA Doug Donaldson called Premier Christy Clark a “sell-out” after she signed a framework agreement on pipeline development last week with Alberta Premier Alison Redford. In the deal, Redford endorsed all five of B.C.’s conditions that have to be met before Enbridge’s Northern Gateway pipeline can go ahead. Clark signed on to support the Canadian Energy Strategy and agreed to lay no claim on Alberta’s royalties. “I don’t think the announcement should come as a surprise,” Donaldson said. “It seems like the premier has had constantly shifting positions and it seems like if the price is right, she’ll sell out and the unfortunate part is she failed to make that clear before the election.” The five conditions laid

down by the B.C. Liberal government before they allow pipeline development are: successful completion of an environmental review for such projects, “world-leading” marine spill response, land oilspill prevention, and addressing aboriginal legal requirements, treaty rights and opportunities from such projects and revenue sharing on heavy-oil projects. The framework also said each province will negotiate separately when dealing with industry on economic benefit issues.

Of course now, the puck is passed to the federal government.” Des Nobels, executive committee member of Friends of Wild Salmon, said the decisions made by the two premiers are not theirs to make. “Alberta is not in a position to satisfy B.C.’s five conditions which include world leading marine and on-land oil spill response and legal requirements around

First Nations’ rights and title. The B.C. government’s own lawyers clearly articulated how impossible it would be to clean up oil spills in the ocean and in the remote, mountainous parts of the proposed pipeline route. A framework is one thing, proving that an effective spill response is possible is quite another,” said Nobels. Gerald Amos, chair of Friends of Wild Salmon and past president of Coastal First Nations said people in the area feel they have been lied to. “For Premier Clark to clear the way for this project would be a massive betrayal of northern communities and First Nations who for years have raised their voices in opposition,” Amos said. Friends of Wild Salmon is a coalition of First Nations, sport and commercial fishermen, community organizations and concerned residents who have come together to protect wild salmon.

N EWS Thierry Vrain brings anti-GMO message to Smithers By Nolan Kelly Smithers/Interior News

Dr. Thierry Vrain brought his antigenetically modified organisms message to town last week, speaking in front of a packed house at the Della Herman Theatre. His argument was simple: GMOs harm both the planet and the people who live on the planet. “When I was in the field I thought we were going to do wonderful, beautiful things,” Vrain told the crowd. “I thought we were God. But I have changed my position.” Vrain spent 30 years working as a research scientist, a social biologist and a genetic engineer at various biotech companies, before retiring to become an

organic farmer. “Tonight I am going to give you disturbing information. Some of you will be shocked, some of you will be angry.” His speech wasn’t heavy on prescription for putting an end to GMO use, rather, it was intended as a scientific approach towards understanding why GMOs are harmful. “I’m a scientist, not an activist,” he told the crowd at the onset. Though laypersons may have had trouble following in depth descriptions of chemical action, Vrain was able to get his message across. He argued that 90 per cent of the genetically engineered crops today are modified to resist Roundup, a powerful

Dr. Thierry Vrain herbicide. Roundup was developed in the 1960s and patented by Monsanto in 1973. Now it is used in conjunction with GMO crops, designed to resist its detrimental affects. From there, he showed correlation studies detailing the incremental increase of various diseases since GMOs came on the market in 1996. He noted that everything from liver disease to celiac disease to increased

incidents of various cancers. To his credit, he noted the total lack of reliability of correlation studies, stating one could “correlate these curves on the graph with the number of Toyotas on the street. And that is true, but the data is interesting.” Finally, he argued that weeds have adapted to resist the Roundup herbicide, a result that was predicted by scientists at the time of its inception. The super-

weeds are coming, he said. “Half the acreage in the USA is infested with 40 different types of weeds. We don’t have them in B.C. yet, but they are coming.” The adaptation of weeds has forced Monsanto to change the Roundup chemical composition, to 2 4-D, a more nuanced version of Agent Orange, he said. It’s prompted many european countries to ban GMOs in various regions across the continent.

Open Houses and Invitation to Comment Pretium Resources Inc. (Proponent) is proposing to develop the Brucejack Gold Mine Project, approximately 65 km northnorthwest of Stewart, B.C (proposed Project). The proposed Project would be an underground gold and silver mine with a production capacity of 2,700 tonnes per day.

The Proponent must obtain an environmental assessment certificate before any development can be undertaken on the proposed Project. However, prior to submission of an application for a certificate by the Proponent, the Environmental Assessment Office (EAO) of British Columbia must first approve Application Information Requirements. The Application Information Requirements will specify the studies to be conducted and the detailed information to be provided by the Proponent in its application. EAO has now received draft Application Information Requirements from the Proponent and invites comments on this draft. In order to provide information about the Application Information Requirements, and to receive comments from the public, EAO invites the public to attend an Open House. There will be five Open Houses, to be held as follows: at:

farmers to make it reasonable to expose the environment, famers and the people to even the slightest risk.” Afterwards, Vrain took questions from the audience, and in one case, received a tongue lashing from a spectator who vehemently disagreed. “You’re not being objective,” she yelled out, arguing that though the Roundup pesticide was harmful, it wasn’t nearly as bad as some of its predecessors.

CANADIAN COMMUNITY NEWSPAPER AWARD 2012

CANADIAN COMMUNITY NEWSPAPER AWARD 2013

Remembering

very year in the lead up to Remembrance Day I spend some time thinking about war. Here are few recent quotes I’ve come across that have given me pause for reflection. Harry Patch, the last surviving British soldier to fight in the trenches during World War I: “I felt then as I feel now, that politicians who took us to war should have been given the guns and told to settle their differences themselves instead of organizing nothing better than legalized mass murder.” And no one since that day has been able to show that the Great War brought any gain for humanity that would be worth one human life. This was a class war, where the advanced capitalist countries of Europe sent the poor to their graves en masse, over boundaries, colonies and spheres of influence. General Dwight D. Eisenhower: “I hate war, as only a soldier who has lived it can, as only one who has seen its brutality, its futility, its stupidity.” Too often, war is romanticized and propagandized when in reality, it is a horrid affair and the lives of those involved should be taken with the utmost seriousness. Sociologist C. Wright Mills: “The roots of war lie in poverty.” There is perhaps no greater example than Germany during the rise of Adolf Hitler. The harsh conditions imposed by the Treaty of Versailles at the end of WWI coupled with the onset of the Great Depression, left the German people bitter and impoverished. Hitler rose to prominence on a wave of nationalism and racial identity, promising ‘freedom and bread.’ A poor, hungry, people, filled with resentment over mistreatment turned ugly. Sadly, in our post-scarcity world, too much of our money is going towards war and too little towards the elimination of poverty. The U.S. spends 57 per cent of its budget on its military, while 20 million of its children live in poverty. Author and polemicist Chris Hitchens on the Iraq and Afghanistan wars: “Those of us who support this intervention do so precisely because we are scrupulous about human life and reverent when it comes to its protection.” I vehemently disagreed with the ex-left winger at the time, and still do in many ways. But the truth is rarely black and white. For the first time in Afghanistan’s history, thousands of girls and women are getting an education because the Taliban were overthrown. The religious tyranny of zealots is not yet a thing of the past in Afghanistan or Iraq, but it may soon be. Nolan Kelly, The Interior News

Liberals fail on aboriginal rights and title

he New Prosperity federal environmental assessment report concluding the proposed gold/copper open-pit mine west of Williams Lake would have significant adverse effects for the Tsilhqot’in is a condemnation of the BC Liberals approach to aboriginal rights and title. The position the Premier and the BC Liberals are taking on the proposed project is creating more uncertainty and is unhelpful for resource industry jobs in rural areas of the province. The panel found the project will have significant adverse effects that cannot be mitigated on Tsilhqot’in use of the land and resources. It

also concluded there would be adverse effects on aboriginal rights and title. It’s the same conclusion that was reached on the original Prosperity proposal three years ago. Despite this overwhelming evidence, Premier Clark continues to ignore science, reject an independent panel and lobby Prime Minister Harper for project approval. That approach of wilfully disregarding aboriginal rights and title does not create conditions for certainty on the landbase which we need if we want to attract investment and see jobs in rural areas. The federal review panel released its report Nov. 1. The final verdict on the

GUEST VIEW Doug Donaldson proposed mine now rests with the federal environment minister Leona Aglukkag who is expected to make a decision by March 2014. Under the BC Liberals, the provincial environmental review process was not able to consider as many factors as the federal process and approved the Prosperity mine proposal in 2010.

As a result, the BC Liberal government decided a review of the New Prosperity mine wasn’t necessary. Premier Clark has backed her government into a corner on aboriginal rights and title. This is a concern for the rest of us living in this province as the stakes are high. The BC Liberals are ignoring the issue of governance in favour of a narrow, short-term focus. What we are seeing as the results of such a strategy are increasing incidents of delays, confrontation and uncertainty for communities, First Nations and industry, whether it’s in mining, forestry, resort development or other activity on the landbase.

A positive step would be for Premier Clark and her mining minister, Bill Bennett, to demonstrate they understand the body of legal and scientific evidence behind aboriginal rights and title by reversing their tact, supporting the federal panel findings and encouraging the Harper conservatives to not approve this project. It’s time we work together with First Nations on the rights and title issue. Premier Clark needs to step back, be more rational and take a considered approach before her government poisons the well for other mining projects in the Chilcotin, or elsewhere, and for the future of other natural resource-dependent projects in B.C.

L ETTERS Learn more with War Amps 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. Ninetyfive years ago, First World War amputee veterans formed The Amputations Association of the Great War. The name was changed to The War Amputations of Canada 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 Remembrance 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 cost-recovery price at

Gov’t is wearing blinders

Editor: Recently I was out for a drive and decided to go have a look around Paul Lake on my way home from Granisle. I was shocked by what I saw, and later I was furious that Canfor has been allowed to harvest the immature green pine in the area. They plan to continue harvesting these immature stands for the rest of this winter from what I have been able to learn. I was a silviculture contractor in the 1980s and did some Silviculture Juvenile spacing work in the Houston area in 1988 and 1989. I viewed and bid a lot of contracts for age class ¾ spacing, so I know how much of the taxpayer’s dollars were spent to improve the quality of the stands in the Paul Lake area. There was commercial thinning done, juvenile spacing by chain saw crews and money

was spent to do foliar analysis and several aerial fertilization applications. These stands promised to provide quality wood for the midterm timber supply. They were not hit hard by the Mountain Pine Beetle, and they do not meet the criteria for harvesting in the Morice TSA. These were healthy pine stands that had a significant investment of taxpayers money spent on them. Canfor has harvested and continues to harvest immature green pine and the government is doing nothing to hold them accountable. The waste in the piles is excessive and provides no value. I question the wisdom of this, when other industries would like to have the fibre but

are not allowed to take it. It is simply burned, contributing nothing to the economy and reducing the air quality in the area, which is already poor for a lot of the year. I have inquired about this and been told that the timber companies are allowed to do their own waste and residue assessments, so again there is no accountability to the taxpayer. Canfor says on the sign outside of their mill that their “roots are in the community.” It is difficult to believe that they intend to stay in the community when they are harvesting their future timber supply. Houston is a community that has a completely timberbased economy. When the mill is finished taking all the midterm

wood, they will close up shop and Houston will follow suit. This is my home and I cannot sit by and watch this destruction of Houston’s economic future and not say anything. When the licensee is done harvesting the immature forest, it will be 50 years or so before there are once again viable forests to sustain the industry. The government is sanctioning this by their inaction. They are supposed to be public servants looking after the public interest, but they are failing us. They are also failing to safeguard the other values in the Paul Lake area. This area used to provide prime ungulate habitat. I didn’t see a single moose track when I was out there. I have hunted and

fished in the Houston area for many years so I am quite aware of the changes that are taking place. Residents, First Nations and tourists value the beauty, recreational opportunities and wildlife in this area. It is the duty of the government to protect these values. I believe that the public has the right to know how their tax dollar investment in this intensive silviculture has been wasted. People in Houston depend on the forest industry for their livelihood and seem to be afraid to say anything for fear of losing jobs. However, what I think they fail to truly understand is that once the midterm is harvested and there is no wood available for the mills, these companies will simply move on and Houston will be another dying resource town with no other industry to support it. That is a loss that can be avoided by the government holding the forest companies accountable and reducing the amount of timber they are allowed to cut each year now. There would still be a reduction in

the industry for the Morice TSA, but it would at least allow a viable forest industry to remain and the consequences for Houston would be much less dire. The government is listening to the Canfor executives but not looking at the reality of the situation. They are wearing blinders and not seeing the impacts on the ground and the ultimate price that Houston will pay for their inaction. That is unfair to the public, the taxpayer and ultimately to the forest companies who are trying to follow the rules around harvesting. The impacts of the Mountain Pine Beetle epidemic and the intensive harvesting to try reducing the impact of the beetle have already significantly reduced the availability of timber for the future. Harvesting immature stands now is irresponsible. Ron Harris Houston, B.C.

Enbridge should redirect dollars

Editor: Enbridge is “gracing” us every week with full page coloured ads in local newspapers noticeable for their bad poetry — in fact not poetry at all — while showing us the beautiful features of the Northwest they are putting at risk. Such ads costs more than $1,000/wk for just one local paper. I wanted to contrast this lavish spending with their 2012 $18,000 donation to 14 foodbanks, averaging $1,286 per food bank for a whole year. I suggest Enbridge should redirect their wasted advertizing campaign money to food banks which could greatly benefit from such largesse. Josette Weir Smithers

N EWS Rally against pipeline Saturday Smithers/Interior News

With a decision on the Enbridge Northern Gateway project expected in mid-2014, the Friends of MoriceBulkley and the Office of the Wet’suwet’en are hosting a protest rally and march on Saturday. Nadia Nowak, with the Friends of Morice-Bulkley, said it’s important to let the federal and provincial governments know the risk is too great to have a pipeline crossing the region. “With Christy Clark clearing the pathway for Enbridge, this is

a critical moment to demonstrate our opposition,” Nowak said. “First Nations, northern communities and the majority of British Columbians have said no to this project that threatens our wild salmon watersheds.” The event is a reaffirmation of the Wet’suwet’en stance on the pipeline project, said hereditary Chief Na’moks. “We, as Wet’suwet’en, never changed our stance on Enbridge,” he said. “The answer was no and remains no. It is up to the Wet’suwet’en and

Faith Matters

the guests who reside on our traditional territory to stand up for the quality of life that we enjoy together.” The Smithers event is part of the national Defend our Climate, Defend our Communities day of action. Similar events are being planned across the country. The Smithers rally and march starts at 12:15 p.m. in front of the Office of the

Wet’suwet’en on First Ave. “We must maintain our freedoms on the land, the right to clean, pure water and to ensure our communities remain safe and healthy,” Na’moks said. “Regardless of what policy and legislation changes may happen, we all have a duty to stand up for what is right and proper for us as Canadians.”

owning a car. Once you have a vehicle in mind, get an insurance quote. Regular maintenance costs are easily figured but some cars can be very expensive if parts have to be brought in from around the world. Once you have a handle on the above, you can narrow your choice. It is important you like the looks of the second most expensive purchase of your life. However, make sure it serves its intended purpose by answering some questions. Typically, how many people do you need to transport and how far? Is there enough stowage space in the cabin and the trunk or luggage compartment? Do you need V8 power or will an economical four-cylinder suffice? Now go and kick some tires at a variety of dealerships and consider multiple brands because they all have much to offer.

Say Hy to Five New Hybrids By Bob McHugh

‘‘

its battery. Stored e-power pulled from the grid allows it to be driven further (about 34 km) in a pure electric-vehicle mode. Depending on everyday driving demands, CMAX Energi could actually function as an electric vehicle for many urban owners. A functional tall, wagon that can seat five, the rear seatbacks in the CMAX Energi also fold flat to expand the cargo space. Price: $36,999 Fuel economy (combined city/ highway): 3.1 L/100km Acceleration (0 to 100 km/hour): 8.9 seconds. Braking (100 to 0 km/ hour): 43.0 meters The hybrid version of the new Infiniti Q50 offers 354 net horsepower making it a high-performance sport sedan. Impressive propulsion comes from the combined efforts of a 3.5-litre 24-valve DOHC aluminum-alloy V6 gas engine and a 50 kW electric motor that’s rated at 67 horsepower, plus an innovative one-motor/twoclutch motor control system. The Q50 Hybrid is available in both rear-wheel drive and what Infiniti calls Intelligent All-Wheel Drive. Precise handling is provided by its 4-wheel independent multi-link suspension and an innovative Direct Adaptive Steering with five handling modes. Price: $47,000 to $49,500 Fuel economy (combined city/ highway): 7.0 L/100km Acceleration (0 to 100 km/hour): 5.8 seconds. Braking (100 to 0 km/hour): 42.8 meters The Porsche Panamera S e-Hybrid is a four-door, four seat supercar with a lavishly luxurious interior. The “e” denotes that it’s a plug-in hybrid and it has more than double the electrical power (95 horsepower) of its hybrid predecessor, plus a new li-ion battery pack. Its electric-only driving range is 18 to 36 km and it has a top speed of 135 km/hour in e-drive. Stomp on the gas pedal and a 416-horsepower, 3.0-litre V6 gas engine bursts into action and the G-forces can pin you to the seatback. Top speed is now 270 km/hour, but mercifully the brakes (regenerative) are even more powerful at bringing the Panamera S e-Hybrid quickly to a halt. Price: $113,300 Fuel economy (combined city/ highway): 6.4 L/100km Acceleration (0 to 100 km/hour): 5.4 seconds. Braking (100 to 0 km/hour): 37.7 meters bob.mchugh@drivewaybc.ca

Hybrids not only save on gasoline, they also save on maintenance, especially brake system repairs, and they typically come with longer drivetrain warranties.

There’s a new breed of hybrids hitting the streets that are closer in performance and price to their gasoline counterparts. Not only has the hybrid driving experience improved, lighter and more compact new battery technology takes away less cargo space and fuel economy is even better, especially with plug-in technology. Hybrids not only save on gasoline, they also save on maintenance, especially brake system repairs, and they typically come with longer drivetrain warranties. These new hybrid examples are all entries for 2014 Canadian Car of the Year. The braking and acceleration stats are from the recent Testfest evaluation event. Jetta Hybrid is not just the first Volkswagen hybrid; it’s the first hybrid with a turbocharged gas engine and a rapid-shift 7-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox (DSG), instead of the usual CVT automatic. A compact lithium-ion battery pack also takes up less trunk space and even allows a pass-through feature (with fold-down rear seats) for longer items. Preserving Jetta’s sportsedan qualities, the hybrid’s electric motor boosts powertrain performance and optimizes fuel economy. A clever “power meter” on the instrument panel translates what’s happening under-hood into an easy to understand driving Bob McHugh efficiency gauge. Price: $28,490 to $35,300 Fuel economy (combined city/ highway): 4.4 L/100km Acceleration (0 to 100 km/hour): 9.0 seconds. Braking (100 to 0 km/hour): 47.1 meters Honda Accord Hybrid is the first full-hybrid from Honda. Its unique two-motor powertrain operates in three distinct driving modes in which the Atkinson cycle engine is completely de-coupled (EV) used as an electrical generator (Hybrid) or drives the wheels (Engine). The result is incredibly good fuel economy, considering this is a fully equipped (including leather and nav), big sedan. The under-hood powertrain gymnastics are barely discernible inside the cabin. Price: $35,690 Fuel economy (combined city/ highway): 3.8 L/100km Acceleration (0 to 100 km/hour): 8.0 seconds. Braking (100 to 0 km/hour): 46.3 meters The new Energi version of the Ford CMAX is a plug-in hybrid, which means it can be plugged into the electrical outlet to recharge

The Canadian choice: compact cars and compact SUVs By Zack Spencer So many cars to choose from, so few words available in this tight space! Yes, I know that’s the complaint of every writer but we truly do have a lot of choice today. And the quality of vehicles is so much higher than it ever was so there is much to celebrate. In the run-up to 2014, I will be testing a lot of what’s new and improved. Today, I’ll just offer you five models to consider adding to your shopping list. 2014 Mazda3 The compact car segment in Canada is the biggest by far, with over 20 percent of all vehicles sold. So, the introduction of the Mazda3 is important because it is currently the fourth best seller in this class. The outgoing car was already one of the best handling cars and now with a lighter and sexier looking body, this new car is both eye catching and solid on the road. The base engine is a 2.0L 4-cylinder with 155hp, thanks to direct injection. The larger 2.5L engine puts out a healthy 184hp. It is the interior buyers will care most about, and the Mazda3 is a nice surprise, due to class leading available options and a high level of finish. Starting at $15,995 and running up to $29,895, there is a Mazda3 for all budgets. Zack Spencer

’’

2014 Toyota Corolla Continuing with the compact car theme, the Toyota Corolla is the third best selling car in Canada but Toyota believes this new model can take the overall sales crown away from the Honda Civic. This new 2014 model is made, and partly designed, right here in Canada with our needs in mind. The Corolla now has a longer wheelbase for amazing interior space, especially in the back seat. The dash is wide and flat for ample room and covered in nice looking and feeling materials, plus there is an

available centre screen to use for the radio and backup camera. Powering the 2014 Corolla is the same 132hp 1.8L engine from the last model, with one exception. The LE Eco model has a modified valve system to improve fuel economy and pump the power to 140hp. The biggest change is the introduction of a continuously variable transmission for a greater range of gears, improved economy, and a smooth drive. 2014 Volkswagen Golf This new Golf will be made in Mexico along side the Beetle and Jetta sedan and will go on sale in the spring of 2014. It is wider and longer than the last Golf but also significantly lighter and safer. The base engine will be a new turbocharged 1.8L engine with 170hp but don’t worry the TDI diesel is carried over. The sportier GTI trim is fantastic, with an estimated 225hp, in the Canadian Model, thanks to a new 2.0L turbo engine. The interior materials used inside are almost Audi quality. No price yet but building these new cars inside the NAFTA zone will save money and that will be reflected in the price. 2014 Jeep Cherokee The Cherokee is back and it looks nothing like the boxy truck of old. In fact, this new, small SUV is based on the same Alfa Romeo platform used in the Dodge Dart. It is smooth and quiet and a pleasure to drive. The Cherokee is also the first vehicle in the world to be equipped with a 9-speed automatic transmission. The base engine is a 2.4L 4-cylinder with 184hp or the optional 3.2L V6 with 271hp, for just $1,300 more, offering good value. Not to worry Jeep fans, this new Cherokee is available with three AWD systems.

a new vehicle. With this in mind Nissan has an all-new Rogue compact SUV with enough room inside for three rows of seats and room for 7-passengers. This is practical for people who require extra capacity but don’t want to buy a bigger or more expensive mid-sized or larger SUV. Under the hood is a 2.5L 4-cylinder used in other Nissan products and is matched to a new continually variable transmission featuring more available ratios and reduced friction. The interior is very well executed, with a dash that looks similar to the bigger Pathfinder. Goes on sale just before Christmas. zack.spencer@drivewaybc.ca

2014 Nissan Rogue You might notice a trend with my 2014 model choices are all compact cars or compact SUVs. This is the direction Canadians are heading when it comes to buying

Drives-U-Crazy . . .

Intersection Idiots

A myth abounds among self-righteous, over-cautious drivers that only one left-turning car at a time is permitted to enter an intersection on a green light. Those who adhere to this unwritten ‘rule’ annoy those behind and hold up the flow of traffic. It is especially annoying when so many larger BC centres have intersections large enough to accommodate two and often three vehicles. What drives-u-crazy. keith.morgan@drivewaybc.ca

By Alexandra Straub

A vehicle doesn’t have to be exorbitantly expensive, have mega horsepower or a fancy Italian badge on it to be fun to drive. In fact, a lot of people seem to agree with that statement too since there are a few pocket rockets available on the market that might not compete for the top power specs, but can certainly get the party started. Ford Fiesta ST- $24,499 If its exterior colour, say the one clad in Green Envy, doesn’t catch your eye, perhaps its exhaust note will. When you rev 1.6L, 4-cylinder, turbocharged, EcoBoost engine of the Fiesta ST, you’ll probably turn your head. Yes, it’s a subcompact but it doesn’t feel like it when you’re working through the gears of the 6-speed manual transmission. Ford’s newest mini powerhouse comes with a whopping 197 horsepower and 202 lb-ft of torque. It’s the same engine paired with the Focus ST, but in a smaller packaged. Its sport infused suspension, gearbox, phenomenal handling and host of creature comforts sound good to you, it’s even better to drive. You just might make your friends green with envy because you’re having so much fun behind the wheel. Mazda3 Sport- starts at $15,995 For the 2014 model year, Mazda completely overhauls their number-one selling sedan and hatchback: the 3. Expect more mature (but not dated) styling, a driver-focussed cabin and a host of technological gadgetry that makes staying “connected” behind the wheel more user friendly. Of course, without trying to take away focus from the act of driving. Among its tweaked features, you’ll find brand new interior and exterior styling along with the implementation of their high compression ratio engines, better known as SKYACTIV. Two engines and transmissions are offered. There’s the 2.0L, 4-cylinder SKYACTIV engine with a 6-speed manual transmission or an available 6-speed automatic transmission- available on either the base GX or mid-grade GS models. It produces 155 horsepower and 150 lb-ft of torque. Then there’s a 2.5L, 4-cylinder SKYACTIV engine for the GT trim, which only comes with a 6-speed automatic.

BCGMCDEALERS.CA BCG GMCDEALERS.CA It generates a healthy 184 horsepower and 185 lb-ft of torque. Either is a treat to drive with excellent urban or extra urban characteristics. 2014 Fiat 500L- starts at $19,995 For Fiat fans, if the 500 was too small, here’s your answer: the 500L. The longer wheelbase cutie is more practical than the pint-sized version and has more room. And two more doors! Powering it is a 1.4L, 4-cylinder, MultiAir turbo engine that pumps out 160 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque. Since it’s a bigger car, it feels bigger to drive. But visibility isn’t compromised and there are a couple of great gearboxes to choose from: a 6-speed manual or a 6-speed Euro Twin Clutch automatic transmission. Toyota Corolla- starts at $15,995 No, you’re not reading that wrong. I did include the 2014 Toyota Corolla on my list. Yes, it’s like automotive bread and butter; you always know you’re getting and it’s very predictable. But with a complete overhaul for 2014, you could say the Japanese manufacturer has added some jam on top to make it sweeter. New styling on the inside and out makes it more desirable to the eyes. It’s still not as exciting as most of its competitors but the 1.8L, 4-cyinder does a bang up job of delivering 132 horsepower and 128 lb-ft of torque. The cabin is quiet and I’ll hand it Toyota for matching it with a CVT transmission that is just fabulous. Kia Soul- starts at $16,995 Kia’s box-mobile continues to deliver strong sales despite angularly-shaped vehicles becoming a trend of the past. Why? Because it has personality. Describing it in one word, I’d say it’s funky. And now, the all-new soul is built on a bigger platform, increasing legroom up front and in the rear. It’s also quieter on the road when revving its 1.6L, 4-cylinder engine. There’s also a 2.0L 4-cylinder available with 164 horsepower and 151 lb-ft of torque. alexandra.straub@drivewaybc.ca

Steelheads drop third road game in a row, 3-2 By Nolan Kelly Smithers/Interior News

It’s only midNovember and already the Steelheads have as many losses as they did all of last season. Their latest came at the hands of the Kitimat Ice Demons, last Saturday, in heartbreaking fashion on a gamewinning goal in the final minutes. Still, if there is reason for optimism, it’s that the Steelheads have had short benches in each of their three losses and all have come on the road. Saturday evening they were without number one defenceman Ryan DeVries, number one scorer Ian Smith and captain Darryl Young. In addition to those key losses, they were also short on the backend. Regular forwards Adam DeVries, Josh Aspenlind and Randall Groot were all forced into defensive duty. Defenceman Brendan Hutchinson also suited up for his first game of the year. The Steelheads got off to the perfect road start, when Amadee Marshall sniped his fourth of the season to put them up 1-0 and take the crowd out of the

The Steelheads are reeling, after dropping their third straight, but the team has had to deal with injuries and a short bench for the last three weeks. They return home this weekend.

game early. The rest of the period was scoreless. Starting goaltender Tyler Perreault was solid when called upon. In the second period the Steelheads doubled their lead on Marshall’s second of the game, assists on both of his goals going to Adam DeVries and Josh Aspenlind. Down two, and, perhaps fearing their second loss of the season to the Steelheads, the Ice

Demons upped the chippy, physical play. Both teams took a combined eight roughing penalties in the middle frame. It looked like the Steelheads would carry a two-goal advantage into the third period, but the Ice Demons got one back with four minutes left in the second. In the third, forward Josh Slanina tied the game up with just under 10 minutes to go. With the game

headed for overtime, Slanina scored his second of the game to put the Ice Demons up for good. The Steelheads had their chances to put the game away, but they couldn’t finish Kitimat off – a developing trend in the young season. “It was a very well played game by both teams,” head coach Tom DeVries said. “Both goaltenders played very well and we just didn’t score enough. We just

aren’t scoring a lot of goals right now. In their last four games, the Steelheads have only scored more than three goals once, a far cry from the team that averaged six goals a game last season. Part of the problem is health, part of the problem is a lack of bodies for road games. DeVries is expecting a few players back from the sick bay this weekend. Starting

goaltender Tyler Perreault couldn’t be blamed for any of the three goals against. “You can’t fault him on any of those goals. I think there were two tip ins and a screen shot that went top corner. He played really well for us.” With two goals, former Hazelton Wolverine Amadee Marshall stood out as well. “He is getting better every game for us. He’s a really

clever, crafty player.” The Steelheads will look to get back in the win column this weekend, when they host the Terrace River Kings on Saturday night and the Quesnel Kangaroos on Sunday afternoon. It’s their first matchup of the season against Terrace and second in three weeks against Quesnel. “We don’t know what to expect from Terrace, but they usually bring a scrappy physical game,” DeVries said. “And Quesnel will have a good squad again. We out played them and out shot them last time. Hopefully we’ll have some more bodies and score some more goals.” Terrace is in fourth place in the West Division, five points back of the Steelheads, while Quesnel is 4-4-0 and in second place in the east. DeVries is hoping some home cooking and added fan support will provide the Steelheads with a little something extra this weekend. “A little encouragement at the rink is never a bad thing. We hope to see lots of fans there to cheer us on.” Schedule: Saturday, 7:30 vs. Terrace; Sunday, 1:30 vs. Quesnel.

Mike Wall transitions to defence Smithers/Interior News

Moving from goalie to defence is about as difficult a transition a player can make in sports. But Steelheads goaltender Mike Wall is attempting to do just that. The former NHL netminder, who has backed the Steelheads to consecutive championships in the CIHL, is looking for a new challenge and so far, he’s adjusting well. “For me it’s something new,” Wall said. “Playing goal was always something I was hesitant to do. I’ve had fun, but there are other players who can handle the job.” He’s committed to learning the position and making sure he’s following the team’s system and limiting his mistakes. “I’m always bugging Daryl (the team’s defence coach) when I come back to the bench to tell me what I’ve done wrong, and he’s been really helpful,” Wall said. Having played the game for so long, at such a high level, Wall understands positioning and flow, it’s just a matter of making his feet catch up to his head. “I understand what’s going on, and the speed of the game isn’t too far off where I feel like I’m behind the play, it’s just a matter of getting used to everything again. It’s a lot of little things.” The biggest, little difficulty for Wall is playing on different skates. “The goalie’s skates are flatter and easier to balance on, so that’s been a bit of an adjustment.”

In four games so far this season, Wall has one goal and three assists (1-3-4), good enough for second on the team in defenceman scoring, just one point behind stalwart Adam DeVries. On the Steelheads’ recent road trip to Lac La Hache, head coach Tom DeVries singled Wall out for his strong play. He’s been impressed with the improvements Wall has made in his game over the course of the first month of the season. “I think at the beginning of the year it took him a little while to get it going because he hasn’t played there in awhile, but I don’t think it has been a work in progress,” DeVries said. “He’s a strong guy, he handles the puck well and he’s played there before.” DeVries is still holding out hope that

Mike Wall makes a move in front of the net last month against the Tomahawks.

when it comes down to crunch time, Wall might strap on the pads again. “I haven’t talked to him about it lately,” DeVries said. “We have some other great goalies that really want to play, but when it gets closer to playoffs we’d like it if he’d play again.” In Wall’s stead, Tyler Perreault has been solid, posting a 3-1-1 record, a 4.03 GAA and a .877 save percentage, in the notoriously high-

scoring league. Wall comes across as a consummate team-first player. “For me it’s not something I need to do, but we have such a good group of guys and it’s just nice to be able to play with them. “Obviously we are struggling for bodies and if there is something I can do to help out by contributing somewhere else, than that’s a positive thing.”

SMXA still looking for permanent home By Ryan Jensen Smithers/Interior News

Smithers Motocross Association members will have a place to ride next spring. Earlier this year, the SMXA was told to find a new home after a number of concerns were raised over the track’s location on Donaldson Rd., which is on top of an old landfill site. This summer, the Regional District of Bulkley-Nechako agreed to help the club find a more suitable permanent location for their

track. While they have yet to find a permanent home, SMXA president Aaron Miles said club members will still have a place to ride next year. “Nothing is set in stone, said Miles. “We will have a track to ride on whether it is on the existing property or a new site.” RDBN director of planning Jason Llewellyn said they have identified a couple of sites that may work well as a motocross track but because it’s Crown land, they have to wait for government

approval. “We have a potential site or two identified and we’re waiting for some feedback from the province regarding the availability of those sites,” Llewellyn said. “We’re hoping that process can get sorted out soon so the motocross track can get going and they can begin their planning for next season.” The RDBN has committed to working with the SMXA to find grants for development of the new track once a permanent home has been found.

S PORTS SSS boys host play day, head to zones By Nolan Kelly Smithers/Interior News

One week away from zones, the Smithers junior boys hosted their first home play day of the season last Saturday. Teams from Terrace, Houston and Prince Rupert made the trip to Smithers to compete, along with cross-town rival BVCS. The SSS boys went 2-2 on the day, beating Houston Christian and Caledonia and losing to BVCS and Charles Hays. The days was representation of their season as a whole, with the hot hand coming out on top of the six evenly matched teams in the northwest zone. Overall, head coach

Teresa Monkman is impressed with how the junior boys have come along this season, given that the team is comprised mainly of Grade 9 students. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am really proud of the boys this year,â&#x20AC;? Monkman said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The goals for our team this year was to do the very best we could and for each guy to have good growth over the season.â&#x20AC;? The junior boys were shorthanded right from the get go, after losing a few players to rep hockey teams. They were forced to leave the team after finding out they had games during volleyball zones. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Boys at this age have so much going on and so many options for different sports, so

we thought we might lose a couple.â&#x20AC;? Monkman doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what to expect from next weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s zones, but she knows her team has a shot if they play at the level they are capable of. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to have to play exceptionally the whole time, if we want to make it to provincials.â&#x20AC;? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s difficult to tell if thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a favourite after the regular season, because teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s use a full rotation and lots of bench players during play days. Once zones come, the starting rotations are pretty much set. It may come down to luck. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is a real feeling of mutual respect between all the teams in our zone, we

Breakfast and Books gives students a head start By Ryan Jensen Smithers/Interior News

Breakfast and Books is a great way for the students of Walnut Park Elementary to start their day. The program runs once a month and provides all students with a healthy breakfast and an opportunity to spend time reading before their regular classroom schedule begins. Breakfast and Books is partnership between Smithers Community Services Association and the school that started this year after Walnut Park teacher-librarian Lynn Rutley approached SCSA executive director Cathryn Olmstead about providing funding for the program. SCSA redirected their efforts from its Good Food Box program to Breakfast and Books in the hopes these children will grow up and continue to eat healthy food, Olmstead said. “The [Good Food Box program] wasn’t embraced by as many people as we had hoped,” she said. “The whole intention around it was to encourage people to eat healthy foods and try different things. We thought one way to achieve this objective was to approach it at a younger age and create ways for kids to see what it’s like to have a healthy breakfast in the morning.” Rutley said she sees Breakfast and Books as an opportunity for education as well. In connection with the program, Rutley also said she is working with a Grade 7 leadership group to promote the

Grade 5 student Isabella Storey and Bailey Tendall and Avary Wells, Grade 3, read after having a nutritious breakfast at Walnut Park last Wednesday.

link between healthy eating and learning readiness. “It is hoped that Breakfast and Books is also an opportunity to strengthen our school

spirit by creating a venue for students, parents, teachers, and members of our community to come together and celebrate good nutrition and reading,” Rutley said.

Walnut Park works closely with nutritionist Jody Eskelin to make sure the foods that are being served are truly healthy. While the importance

of eating a healthy breakfast for a young student isn’t up for debate, Breakfast and Books is more than that, said Walnut Park viceprincipal Nicole Davey.

“It’s been a huge success,” Davey said. “But it’s so much more than breakfast. The kids instantly feel welcome and it’s a really nice start to our day.”

Alex Cuba doc appearing on Knowledge Network By Ryan Jensen Smithers/Interior News

Although Alexis Puentes was born and raised in Cuba, he chooses to call Smithers home. Which is why the town is featured on an upcoming Knowledge Network documentary on the musician. Take Me Home is a half-hour show that focuses on 36 B.C.based personalities and explores what home means to each of those highlighted. The stories represent a diverse mix of ages, cultures, regions and backgrounds. “Home is the place where you settle, the place where you feel comfortable, welcome, relaxed and happy,” Puentes said. “For me, that’s Smithers. I was in Cuba last week

and I had a really strange feeling — I didn’t feel like I was home. I felt far away from my home.” Filmed by Vancouver-based Hyphen Communication, director and cinematographer Brian Johnson and recordist Jeff Carter met up with Puentes at Vancouver International Airport and followed him back home to Smithers. Among the familiar sights on the documentary are Main Street, Mountain Eagle Books as well as Puentes’ wife Sarah and daughter Rose. The documentary was filmed last January. Other B.C. personalities featured in the series include Trevor Linden, Nelly Furtado, Joy Kogawa and Wade Davis. The series airs on Sunday nights from 6:30 to 7 p.m., starting Nov. 17.

Museum exhibits open Nov. 15 Smithers/Interior News

The Bulkley Valley Museum is paying homage to people who have served their country in times of war with two new exhibitions, opening this week. The first exhibition is the museum’s annual commemoration of Remembrance Day, The Bulkley Valley Remembers. Some of the contributors to the exhibit include a display on Canada’s role in Afghanistan put together by a Grade 11 student, model airplane makers and a young historian. The second exhibit comes from the Osoyoos and District Museum and Archives, titled The War of 1812 and the West: The Oregon Country Legacy. This exhibit focus on the War of 1812’s legacy in Western Canada, specifically on the little-known repercussions on the Oregon Country region. Although the war was declared in June of 1812, news of the event did not reach the Pacific coast until January 1813. The gala opening for both exhibits is Nov. 15 from 7 to 9 p.m.

sure sign of Christmas: bazaars and the Christmas Hamper Program. The 2013 Hamper Program is up and running, now accepting hamper applications at the Smithers Community Services office in the train station. You can also get in touch to sponsor a family or to make an offer to volunteer. Cash donations are always appreciated. Anne, Hamper Coordinator, can be reached at 250-877-0405 or scsahampers@scsa.ca. A Christmas Bazaar at St. Joseph’s Nov. 16, 2 – 4 p.m. Winter Gold at the Art Gallery is Nov. 29 and 30. Both are great ways to find unique gifts. I remember making pot holders when I was learning crochet and sewing. Have you ever seen a recipe that lists a potholder as a necessity? Yet it is impossible to cook something in the oven without using a pot holder. Don’t know who invented pot holders but some history shows pot holders around 1880 and 1920. Patterns appeared and by the

1930s they were a popular item to make. Are there any pot holder collectors in this area? I have some crocheted ones: several owls and a set of pretty squares bordered in yellow. I also have a few quilted ones. In the ‘50s there are examples of crocheted pot holders made specially for parties and holidays but lots of the fancy ones were really just for display, not sturdy and thick enough to protect hands. Still they are great for collections.

MEMORY MAKERS SCRAPBOOKING, YARN & CRAFTS,

Just relax, enjoy and stay healthy

SPICE OF LIFE Brenda Mallory

Breakfast I can manage. I usually have a cheese omelette or something else in the protein department. Lunch — more soup. Snacks are usually a hunk of cheese or blueberries mixed in yogurt with some Fibre One cereal. As long as I am not cooking too much I am fine. I talk to many widows and other single folks and they do tell me getting the

hang of eating for one is an issue. What can you do? I still think a soup or stew is the best for us. Lots of vegetables, some lean meat and you are good to go. If you can’t eat it all freeze some containers of the food and you will have some cooking-free days. Everyone deals with life alone in different ways. For some I know winter is a lonely time. Sitting at a table with

et me set the stage for you. It is dinner time for me. Here is how that situation looks. I had made a big pot of clam chowder earlier. So there I sat in front of the TV. My woodstove is crackling away. The chair is an old one from the Smithers beer parlour. I had a tea towel bib covering my t-shirt that had already been turned one way or the other. Anyway the extra large designation was in plain view. My soup was in a plastic container. What a sight I tell you! I then started myself thinking about others like me who live alone. Do they have similar habits or do some set the table and sit down like we should? That would work fine I suppose if you still make a regular dinner. Not me! I can manage the soup or stew plan. From time to time I will make a cabbage carrot salad. However, to be honest I don’t really like a salad. Beside more often than not the stuff I buy for that gets a tad mucky before I eat it. Good think I have rabbits.

A27

a wee dinner for one sounds lonely. I am not saying we should all belly up to the TV to eat and certainly you don’t need to look as goofy as I do but it might make you feel less alone. All the goodness you want in one bowl. Add some flax meal to the soup or stew. Great way to get the fibre we need. A good hearty bread to soak up the juice or maybe

some nice dumplings in the stew. You see how easy that was. Your food for the day taken care of. Lots of vegetables, flax meal or oatmeal and fruit. Don’t worry about your former standards when more people ate in your home. Relax, enjoy, and stay healthy. Give me a shout at 250-846-5095 or e-mail your idea to mallory@ bulkley.net.

T HREE R IVERS R EPORT Voyeur suspect identified, drug bust and car returned By Jerome Turner Hazelton/Interior News

A 53-year-old man from Gitanmaax has seven counts of voyeurism pending following incidents where a camera was placed in an envelope and used to capture images up women’s skirts, Terrace RCMP Const. Angela Rabut said. “Investigation led us to the identity of the man and he was subsequently arrested,” Rabut said, adding no tips from the public assisted in the arrest. No confirmation of whether the camera used in the schemes, last of which occurred on Sept. 25 at the Skeena Mall in Terrace, was recording video or set on a timer to capture still images.

One count of voyeurism carries a maximum penalty of five years in prison (Criminal Code of Canada, section 162). A 49-year-old New Hazelton woman was arrested and released with charges of drug possession for the purpose of distribution and various weapons infractions, a Nov. 5 RCMP press release stated. On Nov. 4 New Hazelton RCMP, acting on an official search warrant for the Templeton Ave. premises, found marijuana, an abundance of unknown pills, cash and other items known by police to be associated with illicit drugs. Four men were also arrested, but only the 49-year-old woman, who was released with instructions for a court appearance in Hazelton Feb. 21, 2014, is charged. Last week a car stolen from a South Hazelton

residence was recovered in Kitimat after a relative of the vehicle’s owner spotted the vehicle driving the Kitimat streets. “My cousin’s boyfriend spotted my car and he tried to follow it,” the victim said. “He lost it and then found it after searching for it for awhile. He said it was empty except for a few beer cans.” Kitimat RCMP and the forensic unit are currently investigating the vehicle, a red Toyota Echo, looking for clues leading to suspects of the theft. The owner is happy her vehicle is found, but saddened by the news of her belongings’ disappearance. “I had about $1,000 worth of stuff in there,” the owner said, which included a booster seat for her niece. “Insurance doesn’t cover any of that stuff and I feel like I have to pay for my vehicle being stolen.”

Happy Ads “Moments to Remember” “Happy Birthday” “Happy Anniversary” “Congratulations...” The Hazelton Secondary School senior boys’ soccer team travelled to a very cold and rainy Abbotsford last week. They returned with a 1-4 record, but also with an abundance of experience for next year, which according to coach Simon Dodd, will hopefully include a return trip to the provincial tournament.

Sr. Spartans 12th at provincial tourney By Jerome Turner Hazelton/Interior News

They battled through torrential rain and played the best this province has to offer and their coach is proud of them. The Hazelton Secondary School senior boys’ soccer team placed 12th in a 16 team provincial championship in Abbotsford last weekend. As all sports go, the difference between winning and not is a matter of centimetres and if the ball bounced a different way in a couple of games the Spartans would’ve placed much higher, coach Simon Dodd said. The team played a total of five games and started with playing the first ranked team Glenlyon Norfolk, a private school from Victoria. “We had a pretty good game against them,” Dodd said. “It was 3-1 late and they scored two more close to the end of the game.” Glenlyon took the tournament for its fourth straight single A provincial championship. Glenlyon is but one of the private schools the Spartans could potentially face

and the small-town school was able to see much tougher competition than they have ever faced in the northwest. But the Spartans held their own in most areas, Dodd said, specifically against Kelowna Christian School. “That was a weird game,” Dodd said. “We had way more scoring chances than them but lost 4-0. They scored on every chance they created it seemed. If we had capitalized in this game we would’ve been top eight.” The Spartans defeated Nakusp Secondary School 3-1, which also included battling the Lower Mainland elements. “There was standing water on the fields we played on,” Dodd said. “That’s not making any excuses. A result is a result.” The most exciting game of the tournament for the Spartans came against St. Patrick’s Regional Secondary, which if victorious would’ve put the Spartans in the running for ninth place. “We were up 2-1 and they scored late to tie it up,” Dodd said. “They eventually beat us in penalty kicks.”

The one part that was a bit disappointing from the coach’s perspective was the final game of the tourney. “We might as well have mailed that one in,” Dodd said. “Some of our guys didn’t even warm up. It would’ve been nice

to compete to the end.” Warren Maitland, Ryan Wright, Richard Hillis, Levi Turner received playerof-the-game nods with Wright earning an all-star for the tournament. This was the first time in five years the senior boys’ have

made it to provincials and the team will remain relatively intact, as there are five Grade 12 players. “The players we’re losing are good players no doubt,” Dodd said. “But there’s some very good talent remaining on this team for next year.”

Hazelton gets first midwife

By Jerome Turner Hazelton/Interior News

Angela Smith is now one of only two midwives in northwest B.C. after completing the necessary educational components this year. Having become a registered midwife in July from the B.C. College of Midwives, which took four years of school and practical training, she needed to obtain hospital privileges, which Smith earned on Oct. 17 from Wrinch Memorial hospital in Hazelton. “Now I can be a primary birthing attendant from prenatal through to after the baby is born,” Smith said. “I hope to be able to help as many families as possible in the Hazelton area.” A midwife is an alternative to having a doctor and hospital staff during pregnancy, birth and post-natal care, which gives the expecting parents more say in all areas of the birth

Angela Smith is looking forward to delivering babies for families in the Hazelton area after she returns from Nunavut in December. She is one of only two midwives in northwest B.C. Contributed photo

process, Smith said. “In general, appointments are much more personal and longer than meeting with a physician,” Smith said. “We provide

all the information about the birthing procedure and the expecting mother and family get to choose how the birth will take place. It’s more of a partnership in

pregnancy and birth, as opposed to being told how things will happen as you go.” For instance, at 28 weeks an expecting mother normally gets a glucose screen to see if there is risk or onset of diabetes, but a midwife will give all the relevant information and the expectant mother will decide if the test will happen at all, Smith said. The cost of a midwife is covered by most B.C. medical service plans and Smith hopes to serve expecting families primarily in the Hazelton area, but first she needs to take a trip to the far north. “I am going to Rankin Inlet [Nunavut] for six weeks,” Smith said. “It is about a fivehour flight north of Winnipeg. I’m going there because women have regular, low-risk births up there.” Smith will return mid-December to five current expecting mothers, who have opted to have Smith deliver their babies.

T HREE R IVERS R EPORT Everyone should be heard to find the best way forward In 1909, seven Kispiox chiefs set up a blockade to stop road building in the Kispiox Valley. The chiefs went to jail, the roads went in, settlers arrived and fences went up. The logging industry boomed in the Kispiox and for years heavy logging trucks plied the roads and clear cuts appeared. Many people in our various communities made good livings from the logging. Now here we are, just over 100 years later after the chiefs were jailed for protesting the roads and now it’s pipelines. Ironically it’s those very same roads that make the valley attractive to pipeline companies because the roads provide easier access. Today, however, the strong voices of opposition to the pipelines come from the latest generation of settlers (in the Kispiox Valley) who don’t want their valley to change. The Gitxsan must make the decision for their traditional territories and we must trust that these decisions will be the right ones. The Gitxsan are the ones who have

the best way forward can be done. Secret meetings involving only select people with vested interest can only lead to the demise of the Gitxsan hereditary system. Perhaps this would make it easier for industry to have its way with our area, much like the waning forest industry has. The feast hall is where all business should be conducted. Yes it is slow, but that is because decisions within the feast hall are the culmination of house-group meetings and the gathering of as much information about the decision at hand. Education is needed to make proper decisions and some settlers in Gitxsan territory will offer information for free. Every person who stands to be impacted by industry needs to be heard, including house members and settlers. The way forward requires working together and putting everything (pros and cons) on the table for all to see.
