NEWS BRIEFS Highway speed limits, tires reviewed The B.C. government is inviting public input on changes to speed limits on rural highways and winter tire requirements. Transportation Minister Todd Stone said it’s been more than a decade since speed limits were reviewed, and in that time the ministry has invested $14 billion in highway improvements. The review is to make changes based on citizen and expert input about long stretches of highway between communities, Stone said. The review will also look at requiring snow tires with the snowflake or “M&S” (“mud and snow”) tires with sufficient tread on 80 sections of B.C. highways with winter conditions. Tire requirements were last reviewed in 1986. Community meetings begin in Kamloops on Dec. 3 and Kelowna on Dec. 4. The series resumes Jan. 8 in Dawson Creek, Jan. 9 in Vancouver, Jan. 14 in Cranbrook, Jan. 15 in Nanaimo and Jan. 16 in Chilliwack.

Ruth Lloyd Caledonia Courier Fort St. James has a farmer’s market through the summer, fishing and hunting are common sources of meat and you can buy local beef in stores, yet locally produced food does not make up the majority of the community’s diet. But Nak’azdli is looking at changing this. With the construction of one greenhouse, the Mt. Pope Greenhouse project began production this year, growing a range of tomatoes to see what would work in local conditions. Tomatoes were sold in the Sana’aih Market for the community later in the summer, once the necessary cleaning processes were in place. It was a small step, but the first step in what could be a major project for the community and could lead to more sustainable food production. A forum on the
Greenhouse Manage Andrew Staris adresses the forum. Ruthlloyd/Caledonia Courier
project to collect feedback and ideas from the community gathered around 50 people in Kwah Hall on Nov. 28 for the open forum on agriculture and food production on Naka’zdli territory and included guests from the Ministry of Agriculture office in Smithers and Community Futures. The Greenhouse Manager Andrew Stairs highlighted what had been achieved so far with the first greenhouse, through the first sale of tomatoes to businesses in the community. A secondary crop of
strawberries was also planted, with first production expected next year. The forum offered Stairs an opportunity to discuss a proposed model farm project, which would expand the food production to more greenhouses, raised beds, a vegetable field and potentially even livestock. The forum also brought forward the idea being proposed by the Upper Fraser Fisheries Conservation Alliance to help offset Fraser River salmon population decline with extensive lake stocking. But the focus was on agriculture, and Stairs introduced the proposed model farm and then allowed people to form breakout groups for discussion and brainstorming on the specific topics of: greenhouse crops, medicinal plants, field vegetables, livestock and fish. There are many issues left to address, Stairs acknowledged, including land use is-
sues and competing interests with industry. The forum was to get community involvement and start people thinking about food by “collecting ideas that can be translated into action,” said Stairs. He said the sky is the limit for ideas, but they have to be grounded in reality. After the forum, Stairs said he will be compiling the information and ideas into a report he will present to the Nak’azdli Band, likely next spring. While he said it is a bureaucratic process, the steps need to be taken and after he has prioritized the results of the first consultation, this can be used to guide the future investments in infrastructure. Stairs said elder Betsy Leon put it best when she opened the forum by talking about Nak’azdli’s past traditions with sustainable food production, when the community had their own gardens. He said even though we live in north-central
New youth centre Ruth Lloyd Caledonia Courier A new youth centre is another project being worked on by Nak’azdli Band. A meeting held on Nov. 19 brought together 20 people from across the community including the Nak’azdli Youth Council members, Fireweed Collective Society, community members, Nak’azdli band members, band employees and representatives from the District of Fort St. James. Youth between 15 and 18 years old were in attendance. The meeting was held to bring together members of the community to discuss options and ideas for a new youth centre which would better serve the needs of youth in the entire community. The hope is that by creating a new youth centre it will increase the numbers of youth being served by the centre and create more youth space and activities in the community.
Nak’azdli’s current youth centre is located behind the covered arena across the road from Petro Canada. The discussion centred around getting a new building in a central location. Ideas were brought forward on new locations. Some of the suggested locations were: behind Kwah Hall, behind the Nak’azdli Natural Resources Office, behind the Nak’azdli Daycare and the old Chevron Town Pantry site. The Nak’azdli Youth Centre is currently used by between 10 and 20 young people each night of the week, with different days of the week having activities focused on different age groups. Mondays and Tuesdays are for Grades 2-5, Wednesdays and Thursdays are for Grades 6-8 while Fridays include activities for Grades 8-12. The steering committee on the project will bring the ideas forward to the chief and council at their next meeting.
B.C., it is possible to have a viable agricultural enterprise. Agriculture could provide long-term employment for the community, said Stairs, while mining and forestry provide shortterm resource-dependent jobs. “We’re looking to the past to create the future,” said Stairs.

Pipeline benefits – promises questioned Editor: Employment and economic benefits seem to be prominent selling points for the proposed Enbridge Northern Gateway pipelines project. The benefit numbers presented to the public by Enbridge Northern Gateway in their advertisements and through face-to-face engagement meetings in an effort to gain support of the project appear to be portrayed as though they are fact. However, their witnesses’ replies to the Joint Review Panel and intervener questions about the benefits proved them to be anything but. In their 2012 newspaper advertisements Enbridge Northern Gateway stated: “New jobs will be created – Many people will be employed to build this project. Here in B.C., over 3,000 high-paying construction jobs will be created during the building phase. And over 500 new long-term jobs will open up when it is completed-jobs to monitor and maintain the pipeline, jobs at the Kitimat Marine Terminal, and indirect jobs in areas such as food and hospitality, accommodations, and transportation. And all right here in B.C..” When I questioned the Enbridge Northern Gateway witnesses on the factuality of the employment and economic benefit numbers in November 2012, they replied: • There are assumptions made around direct employment, purchasing patterns and total project costs. • In their benefits calculations they assumed
the pipe will come from Canadian mills and the model reflected that, but the company may not use pipe manufactured in Canada. They have spoken with the Korean company Daewoo about pipe provision. • The employment and economic benefit numbers have never been revised to reflect the effect foreign procurement of the pipe could have; but the witnesses said they would go down. • Indirect and induced jobs are not necessarily new jobs, some may be new, some may simply be people working harder. • Northern Gateway does not have control over indirect and induced effects, indirect effects are not managed by what Enbridge Northern Gateway does other than the arrangement for procurement itself. • Even though 74 per cent of the project is in B.C., B.C. regional residents could see less of the employment during construction, the balance of the jobs will likely be given to companies already in the pipeline construction business. Enbridge Nothern Gateway witnesses acknowledged that as reported in a news article, Petro China, a Chinese government owned company, spoke with them about their interest in building the pipelines. • The estimated number of new direct employment by Enbridge Northern Gateway in B.C. during operation is 234. The public consultation panel witnesses were asked in March 2013 why the public wasn’t being told that the employment and economic benefit numbers are at

best estimations, even by way of something as simple as a disclaimer or footnote in their advertisements. Northern Gateway’s Janet Holder, executive vice president, replied: “If you think about it, we have to provide so much information in a limited amount of space and a limited amount of time. So to put all the information in that ad ... it couldn’t be done.” She went on to say: “I don’t think we’re hiding behind anything because we’ve presented that evidence before the JRP.” This October Enbridge Northern Gateway embarked on a new advertising campaign which included a pamphlet distributed through the mail, with these same jobs numbers. For that multipage pamphlet they had room to include a basic disclaimer or footnote stating the numbers in that pamphlet to be estimations, or any of the other descriptors the witnesses used, but they chose not to. What could the reason be for Enbridge Northern Gateway not telling the public the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth about the employment and economic benefits, like their witnesses did in their sworn testimony? The only answer that I can think of is that the truth would not gain public support of the proposed Enbridge Northern Gateway pipelines. Brenda Gouglas Fort St. James

NEWS Trapper rescued on Morice Lake
Caledonia Courier Wednesday, December 11, 2013
A trapper was rescued in extreme temperatures on the shores of Morice Lake after being thrown from his boat. After receiving a 911 call from a satellite messenger GPS unit on December 2, 2013, the Houston RCMP, with the assistance of local residents, Houston Search and Rescue and the Department of Fisheries and Oceans, located the device and its owner on the Morice Lake, approximately 85 km southwest of Houston. The SPOT Unit had been activated at 3:45 p.m. which prompted a call to police.

Courier
After determining the terrain in the location provided by the GPS coordinates, police contacted Search and Rescue and local residents that had knowledge of the remote area and a boat which could be used to access the lake. Facing overnight temperatures of -20 degrees, strong winds and complete darkness, the rescuers made their way to the Morice Lake where a rescue effort was launched. After several hours on the water rescuers reached the GPS coordinates provided by SPOT and located the trapper on shore.
The trapper had activated the beacon after being thrown from his 16-foot boat by strong waves which forced him to swim to shore. The trapper was wet but in good health and was transported back to Houston where he demonstrated his appreciation by sharing breakfast with his rescuers. “This is a great example of an avid outdoorsman who ran into trouble in the wilderness but had the equipment and clothing to keep himself safe until help arrived,” says Sergeant Stephen Rose, the Detach-
ment Commander for the Houston / Granisle Detachment. “Moreover, it demonstrates the tenacity of our Search and Rescue group and the willingness of local residents to help emergency services offer help to someone during their time of need. The willingness of local residents to risk their own lives to save another is outstanding.”

Fort St. James RCMP report Nov. 30 at 1 p.m., RCMP were called to the Stuart Lake Hospital where a female victim had been assaulted and also possibly sexually assaulted. The alleged incident took place on Tache Reserve and the female victim was reportedly very intoxicated at the time of the offence. She could recall being beaten by a male in dark clothing but little else. Consent for sexual activity can not be given if a sexual partner is highly intoxicated. In the eyes of the law, this is sexual assault. The matter is still under investigation. Nov. 30 at 10:30 a.m., RCMP responded to a report of a break and enter at the Fas Gas building. The last check of the building had been at 11 p.m. the previous night and upon arrival at 10 a.m., a broken window was discovered.
Energy drinks were reportedly on the floor of the store, but it was not known if anything else had been taken as much of the stock is being cleared out to make way for the takeover by new owners. RCMP have no suspects at this time and anyone with any information in relation to the break and enter can contact the RCMP at 996-8269. On Dec. 3 at 3:45 p.m., two RCMP members conducting foot patrols in the downtown observed a Green 96 Firebird pull into a parking lot. The driver was reportedly a known prohibited driver and police walked over to the vehicle. They confirmed the driver was prohibited after a previous incident. The driver will now face additional charges and appears in court on Feb. 22.

RCMP attended and were told a male had reportedly hit his girlfriend in the head and he had been drinking. Police located the suspect on Carrier Drive and checks confirmed the man was on conditions not to consume alcohol. After uttering suicidal remarks, the suspect was taken to the Stuart Lake Hospital for evaluation by a physician. He was arrested for assault and breach of probation and was appearing in Prince George court last week.

Fort vs. Vanderhoof
Ruth Lloyd Caledonia Courier
It was an unfortunate end to a good game. With two ladies hockey teams playing Nov. 24 in the Fort Forum Arena, there were even a few fans in the stands to watch the action. Vanderhoof came out of the gates strong, scoring one early in the first period. Fort St. James came back to tie it up with a goal by Nadine Gingrich, and Vanderhoof pulled ahead once more with their second goal by number 10 Veronic Priest. Then Fort St. James’ defensive player Mary Willick tied it back up, assisted by Trudi Saharchuk. The game was back and forth off and on, and as Fort St. James gained traction in the third they were spending
more time in the Vanderhoof end but couldn’t get the puck in the net. Vanderhoof did, however, and Christa Braun knocked a third into the net for her team. Then, with only one minute to go, Vanderhoof player Sarah Fitzpatrick fell back on the ice during some action in front of the Vanderhoof net, effectively ending the game. Fitzpatrick was taken off the ice by ambulance as a precaution, to ensure there was no serious neck injury as a result of the fall and the game was called. Her injury was later confirmed to be a case of whiplash. There were only two penalties during the game, one for too many players on the ice against Fort St. James which allowed Vanderhoof to get a power play, during which they scored their second goal, and one against Vanderhoof for tripping.
