Ruth Lloyd Caledonia Courier One local resident is displaced after a house fire burned his residence to the ground on Feb. 6. The Fort St. James Volunteer Fire Department was called by residents of Nak’azdli to a report of a fire across the lake on Kring Road around 5 a.m.. The homeowner, Chris Elliot, was at work when the fire took place, and fire-fighters arrived to a fully involved structure fire.
Ruth Lloyd/Caledonia Courier
There were 13 firefighters on the scene for about four hours, with two fire engines, one rescue truck and one water tender. At 10 a.m., two firefighters were still cooling down some hot spots and a water tender was still bringing water. In the freezing temperatures, firefighters were dealing with ice while watering down the still-smoking remains of the house. Fire Chief Mike Navratil said the water tender dumped a further three loads on the fire and worked until 3:30 p.m., dumping an estimated
10,000 gallons on the fire. While there were still some hot spots, the fire was deemed safe to leave and to be reassessed in the morning. Elliot is being put up through the provincial Emergency Social Services program, providing him with three days of food, shelter and clothing. Elliot did not have insurance. The cause of the fire is undetermined but still under investigation, there was no gas to the house and no space heaters, which Navratil said are the most common cause of house fires at these tem-
peratures. The house fire was ending a busy week of calls for the fire department. On Feb. 4, firefighters were called out at 5:30 a.m. to a house in the Sowchea area. Residents had an alarm going off in their home and could not find the source of the problem and called firefighters to ensure there was no carbon monoxide or other dangers in the house. Jan. 31 firefighters were called to a chimney fire, which firefighters were able to contain.
Blackwater project deferred At council on January 20, Bob Gallagher, president and CEO of New Gold, announced plans to defer the construction of the Blackwater mine so that now its operational date will be in 2019 instead of 2017. The price of gold has dropped and New Gold is focusing on their other projects which will cost less. “Certainly we all wish that things would go as quick as possible but on the other hand
2013 MODEL
it gives us a great opportunity as a community to get ready,” said Vanderhoof mayor Gerry Thiessen. “I think that we as a community want to know as much as we can about New Gold’s plans to make sure that we are as prepared as we can be. We need to make sure that we have people educated, everything from welders, to camp cooks or truck drivers.” “Building in a low price environment” is something Gallagher mentioned to council
and that means keeping costs low for now since this is “not an environment to be raising money in, but if we get a strong turn around in gold price that date could accelerate.” The Blackwater project, located south of Vanderhoof, is still very much on New Gold’s agenda though. The mine is expected to cost almost $2 billion but is nearly twice as large as their other mine project, Rainy River, so is estimated to hold something like 8 million
ounces of gold. The project will also create about 500 permanent jobs in the region. But not until it’s finished, five years from now. For this summer, the mine will keep five or six rigs in operation and continue with their exploration phase. The mine is completing all of its permits including environmental assessments in the interim.

Courier RCMP report
Jan. 30 at 8:07 p.m. RCMP responded to a report of a domestic assault on Mountain View Road. The female complainant said her common-law partner pushed her after an argument. The suspect was located nearby and arrested for assault. The argument was reportedly over the male’s excessive drinking. Police are required to pursue these incidents even when complainants do not want to follow through with charges when the complaint involves domestic violence. The male suspect was released when sober and will appear in court April 4. Jan. 31 at 3:27 a.m. A male caller reported another male was in his house on Greenview Drive and was refusing to leave, was intoxicated and attempting to burn down the house. RCMP arrived and located the suspect in
the kitchen of the residence. He exhibited signs of intoxication and RCMP report he admitted to also using crack cocaine. RCMP attempted to arrest the suspect, which he resisted. RCMP then used some force to subdue the suspect and bring him into custody. The complainant refused to cooperate with the investigation and no charges were laid. The suspect was released when sober. Feb. 1 at 1:04 a.m. A female called to report a car stolen from a residence on Stuart Drive. She reported she had been at a party at the residence and had been attempting to return to her home on Mountain View Drive but could not find her keys, forcing her to leave the party without her vehicle. When she returned to get her vehicle, a blue Pontiac Sunfire, the car was no longer
on Stuart Drive but was found on Mountain View Drive with a tire changed out, a damaged tire in the trunk, empty cooler cans in the rear seat and the gas tank nearly empty. Feb. 2 11:45 a.m. A female from Fort St. James called to complain about in incident in a construction zone around seven miles south of Fort St. James. While she was driving to Fort St. James from Vanderhoof she was waved through a construction zone by a flag person. While driving through the work area, a construction worker stepped out and swung a shovel at her vehicle, damaging the side mirror. RCMP spoke to the flag person and construction worker, and the construction worker admitted to overreacting and swinging at the car. He apologized and expressed frustration at drivers coming
through the work zone too fast. The road maintenance company promised to ensure the damage was paid for and the driver of the vehicle was satisfied and did not want to pursue charges against the worker. Feb. 2 1:52 p.m. The manager of Overwaitea called to report of a shoplifter detained in the store. RCMP arrived to find the female suspect was intoxicated and in possession of goods she had not paid for. She was arrested for theft under $5,000 and upon her release, was issued a promise to appear in court on May 6. Feb. 2 5:54 p.m. A caller reported an unknown male shooting dogs on the Tache Reserve. While RCMP were enroute to the incident, another caller reported his mother’s dog had been shot. The caller identified two male sus-
Prince George man dies on Rainbow FSR RCMP were called to a report of a logging truck driver in medical distress on the morning of Feb. 5. RCMP, ambulance and Mount Milligan first aid attended a logging truck stopped on the Rainbow Forest Service Road, north of Fort St. James. The driver had reportedly pulled off at
around 18 km on the forest service road and was suffering from a possible heart attack or some sort of medical distress. The male driver from Prince George had passed away at the scene before police arrived. RCMP did not believe the death to be suspicious and referred the matter to the B.C. Coroner’s Service.

pects. RCMP located the two suspects and detained them for careless use of a firearm. A 22-caliber rifle was seized from the vehicle the men were in and the suspects admitted to shooting some dogs but neither claimed ownership of the firearm. Feb. 2 6 p.m. The manager of a mobile home park reported a female trying to stab him. RCMP responded and discovered the female suspect had left the scene after police were called. The caller alleged the female had attempted to pay her rent with good he believed were stolen and he refused to take them. The female then became upset and attempted to stab him. The caller did not want to proceed with charges and the matter was dropped.

Generally speaking Ruth Lloyd Caledonia Courier Generalizations. We all use them, they can be useful tools to help humans understand one another or our experiences. Sometimes generalizations might help us relate to certain ethnic groups or look at a trend in society. While generalizations are often based in a real trait or trend, stating a generalization as broad statements is not useful. It does not allow for an open mind, it closes us to possibilities - group defined, mind set, move on. I recently had someone in my house making generalizations about an ethnic group. The generalization may have been based in facts and statistics, however, a member of this particular ethnic group was in the house at the same time, and therefore I found it disrespectful and asked the person to stop, which he did. It made me think about how sometimes there is a fine line to being politically correct and being considerate or sensitive. This person may have thought I was trying to be politically correct, but I was trying to be respectful. The conversation did not have to stop but it did need to stop using a racist generalization. It is one thing to say something and identify it as a generalization like: Nordic skiing is a fairly popular sport in many Scandinavian cultures or many blue-collar construction workers have lower education levels than white-collar workers. While - in general - these may be true statements (I’m not saying they are, I just wanted to use an example not based on race), but they allow us to understand there are also exceptions - there are in-
formed and educated blue-collar workers and Scandinavians who don’t cross-country ski. One of these statements made into a blanket generalization would be something like: Blue-collar construction workers swear a lot and aren’t very educated. If you are a blue-collar construction worker you will probably be offended by a statement negatively generalizing about blue-collar construction workers in this way. Of course, even if you do fit the profile, you would likely find this offensive, as it just assumes things about you based on your job, and this is a gross oversimplification of who you are or why you do what you do. It dismisses you as a person. So why not identify what you are saying as a tendency but allow for exceptions and individuality. If we want to be able to identify trends or address something which might need to be addressed, like a social problem or perhaps working on blue-collar education levels, we need to talk about them, but do we need to be disrespectful when we do? It’s not about being politically correct sometimes, it’s about not being a jerk. No one wants to be thrown into a group and spoken about as though they have no individuality and are being judged solely on their job/race/religion/ whatever. Just like saying all hockey players are bullies, you can not and should not make statements which dismiss people’s individuality. Or go ahead, generalize away and then others will probable be generalizing about you right back (perhaps as a member of the privileged white middle class having never experienced direct discrimination based on a generalization?). When we begin to be more civil and open-minded in our conversations we may be more productive.

Auxilliary update
Editor: In 2013 our New Year’s baby was not born until March, gifts and flowers were purchased and given to her family. We had a new venue for our Appreciation Day and hope we will be able to use it again this year. We had a table set up at the Farmer’s Market in the Spirit Square and got to visit, many people though-out the afternoon. We hold this event to show our appreciation for the donations from community members and businesses. Donations help us purchase equipment and items for the hospital geared towards patient comfort. Come share coffee, tea and snacks with us again this May. In June a local student was awarded a bursary during graduation for her future studies in the medical field. The garden, flower barrels and boxes around the hospital looked great this year, thanks to all the members who planted, weeded and watered for much of the summer. Some of the residents took very good care of the plants on the patio as well. In October we held our popular annual Turkey Dart Shoot at the Legion. This is our biggest fund raiser and last year was our record breaking amount of money raised- Thank you again Fort St James, we could not do it without you. In October the Youth Volunteer Program begin again after the summer break. If you know any youth who would benefit from this program, please have them contact us or visit our website for more information.
This fall we began conference planning with auxiliary members in Burns Lake though teleconferencing. We are holding the northeast and northwest area conference here in Fort St James Sept 19-22, 2014. Fifteen auxiliaries from Terrace to Fort Nelson to Bella Coola are invited to come for three days of entertainment, education and networking. Much time and effort will be needed to see this through. In December we held another annual event, the Christmas Raffle. Since most of the items were donated it too was a profitable event. Then vending/gift cupboard, memorial collection/plaque and the executive remain active year round through many hours of volunteerism. A total of $11,247.84 worth of items has been purchased for the patients and residents of our hospital in 2013. Some of the items include: two basic wheelchairs, one bariatric wheelchair, three commodes, lamps for patient rooms, refrigerator for palliative room, four T.Vs for patient rooms, games for the permanent residents and an intravenous pump. If you are interested in joining or want to know more about the Stuart Lake Hospital Auxiliary, we now have a website you can visit, as well as, an email address. Website: hospitalauxiliary.fortstjames.com Email: slhauxfsj@gmail. com I feel very grateful to be associated with such big-hearted people in Fort St James. Whether you are a generous donor or a fellow auxiliary thank you for all you do. Julie-Ann Mortenson SLH Auxiliary

Novice tournament Ruth Lloyd Caledonia Courier It was two days of fun tournament action for young minor hockey players on Feb. 1-2 in Fort St. James. A novice minor hockey tournament drew teams from Burns Lake, Houston, Fraser Lake and Vanderhoof to play against Fort St. James, which entered two teams into the tournament because there are so many players in the novice age group of 7-8 years old. The tournament brought together 81 athletes for a total of 720 minutes of hockey, and 157 goals, and created “piles of smiles” according to Christie Hoy, one of the novice hockey moms. Coach Jeremy Johnson said the teams played well and the kids had fun, which is the ultimate goal. They are not allowed to have championship tournaments at this level of play, so there was no rank-
ing for the teams, and instead, 24 players were awarded hustler awards to recognize their outstanding efforts and energy shown during play. The hosts also managed to raise some money at their raffle table to go towards ice time and travel costs for minor hockey. The fans scored some great raffle
items including an iPad mini, Mikita tools, and a Tassimo coffee machine. The White team from Fort St. James finished with three wins and one loss to Vanderhoof, and the Black team finished with two wins and two losses, losing to Vanderhoof as well. Johnson said the great thing about playing in Fort St.
James is the number of spectators who show up to watch the games, even if they don’t have kids in the tournament. The game pictured against Vanderhoof saw Vanderhoof win the game 7-4, with Fort St. James’ Diego Johnson scoring two goals, Lakota Julian scoring one and Nate Frederick scoring one as well.

NEWS
Public talk about pipelines Ruth Lloyd Caledonia Courier With pipeline proposals coming hard and fast in B.C. these days, it is hard to keep them straight. Some initiatives by First Nations groups are aiming to help with this. One key to understanding the multiple projects on the go is a website which includes a map of some of the proposed liquified natural gas (LNG) projects and information specific to the interests of First Nations being impacted. The website (fnlngstrategy.ca) is aimed at creating a strategy around LNG by First Nations, for First Nations, offering a location for information on proposed projects and a place for opinions and identifying issues specific to First Nations communities and culture. Also aimed at helping to get information out to communities, a recent open house was held at Kwah Hall on Nak’azdli to help the public understand the pipeline application process, how to provide input and learn about specifics of some of the projects. Nak’azdli First Nation hosted the on Jan. 30 and invited representatives from the B.C. Environmental Assessment Office (BCEAO) and the B.C. Oil and Gas Commission (BCOGC) from Smithers and Victoria, speaking to those in attendance.
ABOVE: Cory Waters of the BCEAO spoke to the community during a pipeline open house at Kwah Hall on Jan. 30. Caledonia Courier
There are currently five natural gas pipeline projects in northern B.C. in the works, one of which has been granted an environmental assessment certificate. The Pacific Trails LNG pipeline which would carry LNG from Summit Lake north of Prince George to the Kitimat LNG Terminal was granted a certificate and now is securing financing. There are also four natural gas facilities proposed for the coast, one of which has received an environmental certificate (Kitimat LNG Terminal). Cory Waters presented for the BCEAO and explained the process of applying for pipelines, jurisdiction and answered a number of questions about First Nations consultation and more. Waters spoke on the purpose of the environmental assessments (EA) to assess the potential impacts
of major projects, including the environmental, economic, social, heritage and health. and the regulatory framework around pipeline projects. He detailed the regulatory framework, which begins at investigative permitting, allowing companies to investigate for submitting their proposal. The environmental assessment process follows, which in itself has a number of stages, some of which have timelines and some of which do not. The application screening must be done in 30 days, and determines whether there is enough information in the application. The public comment period comes after this, in the initial stage of the application review. The total time allowed for the application review process is 180 days. This timeline was raised as a concern at
the open house, as it gives very short time periods for comment submissions from First Nations and the public and with so many projects on the books at the moment, it is difficult to inform a community about the projects in enough time to get specific feedback. There were also concerns voiced about how the BCEAO can deal with so many applications all at once and give enough attention to each one. Cory Waters of the BCEAO said his office is well-staffed and they want to create a “coordinated and efficient process for everyone involved.” The BCOGC also gave a presentation on the role of the BCOGC in natural gas development and then one on hydraulic fracturing by Deputy Commissioner James O’Hanley. The first presentation explained the role of the BCOGC and the second explained
hydraulic fracturing, often known as “fracking.” This is a process which uses fluid to create pressure underground to open cracks in underground rocks containing natural gas. The presentation attempted to address concerns over risks to drinkable groundwater, giving schematic diagrams which explained where the different types of wells exist underground, with domestic water wells normally at depths less than 150 m and the fracking taking place near 2,000 m and lower. The presentation also discussed some of the materials used in hydraulic fracturing, from the waterbased fluids to the additives put in to do things such as prevent corrosion of the pipe and stabilize the materials at high temperatures and finally the proppant, sand or other materials added to hold the fracture apart. According to the presentation, over seven million cubic metres of water was used in 2012 in hydraulic fracturing in B.C.. There were representatives at the open house from area First Nations, the public and Brenda Gouglas of the Fort St. James Sustainability Group, and while the numbers changed throughout the day, there were around 35 in the audience for the first presentation and question period.
