New uses for DL With one million of its new high-tech drivers’ licences in use, the B.C. government is preparing to use them for access to medical records, applying for student loans and a range of other uses. The new driver’s licence was introduced a year ago, with a digital chip that replaces the existing medical CareCard system. The health ministry estimated that there were more than nine million CareCards in circulation, about twice as many as there are residents of B.C. Andrew Wilkinson, minister of technology, innovation and citizens’ services, released results of a public consultation on the new cards this week. With digital security similar to bank cards, he said the public appears prepared to use them to apply for prescription renewals, birth, death and marriage certificates, voter registration and criminal records checks.

Front left to right: Marvin Martin, Clayton Hempke, Eric Sam, Willy Moise, and Hank Prince. The Islanders defeated the Canyon Bears of Moricetown 10-5 on Sunday to earn top spot in the six team tournament. The Bears, which featured a couple Burns Lake players, took home the silver. Earlier in the day, the Tribe team captured the bronze medal by downing the Burns Lake Bruins 10-4. The hockey tourney was one of several sports featured in the CSFC Winter Games. The Salty Islanders are named in honour of Barry Salt, “A great man who played hockey in Fort St. James,” said Chris French. Salt died in a drowning accident and French said “Fort St. James lost a very fun and loving man who loved to play sports.” Michael Riis-Christianson photo

Possible improvements for Cottonwood Marina
The District of Fort St. James will be making some changes to Cottonwood Marina and is looking at security, the reservation system and more. There was a wharf user meeting on March 21, 2014 to discuss some possible options for improving the municipal wharf. The meeting came about after Blaine Dionne had come forward last year with some concerns he had and changes he was requesting at a council meeting. Mayor Rob MacDougall and council were receptive to his ideas and asked if Dionne would then be interested in helping them look at possible changes to the marina and the security.
Dionne, Ken Duncan, Kevin Crook of the District of Fort St. James and Rick Claughton from public works were at the meeting which resulted in three suggestions being brought to council at their last meeting: a reservation system which would give last year’s user’s priority, fuel sales at the dock, and increased security. The changes to the reservation system suggested would mean people who were users in the previous season should be given a chance to reserve ahead of the general booking period. A list of pros and cons was included for each suggestion, with one of the negatives to the new reservation system being it would make it harder for new users. Fuel sales at the docks was proposed as a way to generate income and reduce fuel theft from boats
and Councillor Riley Willick said it could possibly also be environmentally beneficial, as people filling boats with jerry cans is more likely to result in spills than a fuel pump with a proper nozzle. Council will be considering the changes, with further consultation requested and some research on the part of administration. The wharf runs at a loss, with the income from boat users generating $14,905 last year. while expenses were $45,046. Revenue was down from projected revenue partially due to a late start while ice damage was repaired. The expected revenue was $18,104. Mayor and council have budgeted an additional $9,000 in upgrades and $32,397 in operating expenses for Cottonwood Marina in 2014, based on projected revenues of $25,000.

Public input sought on forest licences Ruth Lloyd/Tom Fletcher Black Press The public is being invited to provide input into converting some volume-based forest licences to area-based tree farm licences. The announcement of the consultation included the release of a discussion paper on the topic available at: engage.gov.bc.ca/foresttenures, where comments can be made which will be part of the consultation. The forest tenures or licences are agreements allowing a person or company logging rights on Crown land. With volume-based licences, certain volumes are allotted and multiple licensees can operate in a timber supply area. With areabased licences, the licensee essentially has exclusive harvesting rights within a certain area. B.C. is the only province which manages forest land mostly through a volume-

based system, the rest use mostly area-based systems. B.C allocates about 60 per cent of logging on Crown land through volume-based forest licences. The call for input marks the beginning of a public engagement process looking at converting some forest licences as one of the recommendations which came out of the allparty special committee on mid-term timber supply report in 2012 which looked at ways to address the looming mid-term timber supply shortage due to the
mountain pine beetle. Thomson said the proposed changes to area-based licences are meant to encourage longer-term investment in planting and silviculture for increased productivity in the long-term. NDP forests critic Norm Macdonald said the experience with existing area-based tenures, called tree farm licences, is that they have not improved forest stewardship. About 15 per cent of B.C. lumber production is from tree farm licences, and the ministry can’t show evidence that they are
better managed, he said. Many of the existing tree farm licences are on the B.C. coast, where log exports have increased. Macdonald said B.C.’s big forest companies have lobbied Premier Christy Clark for the change, which effectively privatizes large tracts of Crown forest, and now the forests ministry is being directed to implement the change. Consultation will include on online conversation as well as conversations compiled by independent facilitator Jim Snetsinger after he travels to at least 10 B.C. communities to consult with stakehold-
ers, First Nations, local governments and the public. The consultation tour will have stops in Nanaimo, Kamloops, Prince George, Quesnel, Burns Lake, Williams Lake, Smithers, Dawson Creek, Cranbrook and Vancouver. Details will be posted on the consultation website when they are finalized. Snetsinger is a former provincial chief forester and he will produce a report and recommendations after the consultation is completed. The consultation period will run until May 31, 2014, and the report is due June 30, 2014.

End of an era Ruth Lloyd Caledonia Courier Dear Fort St. James, this will be my last two weeks writing to you. While I’m sure I will send in the occasional letter to the editor or something, I am finishing up my time with The Caledonia Courier on April 11. It will be bittersweet to move on, the excitement of starting something new and being able to enjoy other possibilities will be tempered by missing getting to interact so directly with this great community. I will miss my weekly meetings with the RCMP, with municipal staff, and with countless community members who I may never have had the opportunity to meet had it not been for this job. But I’ll still be in Fort St. James, and so you will still see me from time to time, I just won’t be visiting you here, in the written word every week. I have gotten so many really great opportunities to get out and see so much of what the community has to offer, covering events I may never have seen and meeting so many people, it has been a whole lot of fun and a whole lot of learning. Now, there are going to be some who will be relieved to not have to read my voice over and over, and hopefully there will be a fresh new face and voice for the paper very soon, change is inevitable and it can always lead to something better. For now, you can still submit any material
(photos, letters, releases and written stories) to newsroom@caledoniacourier.com and the helpful staff in Vanderhoof will gladly use what local content they can get until a replacement is found. I am looking forward to starting something new and to have the opportunity to be outside more often and potentially to have the freedom to travel again, which was a big adjustment for me in this job — going from five to six months off a year to two weeks vacation after two years was challenging. Canada Day, the Santa Claus Parade, Moonlight Madness, and so many more events will be so different now as a participant instead of a documentarian of it all, it will be a new way to see them all over again. I’m pretty sure I’ll still take a few pictures though…. So thank you Fort St. James for your support and help, there have been so many really great stories and interviews and photos over these past nearly four years, but there are still so many more out there, I know a fresh face and voice will help to get even more stories told. I’m looking forward to reading about you all in the future, and to hearing it through another’s perspective. I would love to be able to thank each of the awesome people who have helped me out, but it would fill up this entire paper with names, so I’ll just have to say a general thank you from the bottom of my heart. Fort St. James, you are awesome.

If a pine beetle tree falls in the forest Bill Phillips Prince George Free Press When the Mid-Term Timber Supply Review came out a couple of years ago, it contained some dire warnings about timber supply in mountain pine beetle hit areas. “In the Prince George Timber Supply Area, the pre-beetle allowable annual cut was 9.3 million cubic metres. The current AAC is 12.5 million cubic metres and the mid-term timber supply projection is 6.4 million cubic metres per year,” it stated. That would see employment in the forest sector go from 13,371 before the beetle epidemic to 8,763. It stated that taking measures, such as allowing harvesting in old-growth forests could mitigate, somewhat, the job losses. The province struck a committee, headed up by Nechako Lakes MLA John Rustad, to examine ways to mitigate the job loss. Suggestions have been put forward, such as eliminating viewscapes, logging oldgrowth forests, and allowing licensees to harvest marginal pine stands with the bonus they could “access the entire timber harvest land base.” The Forest Practices Board, however, this week threw another unforeseen wrinkle in the looming decrease in allowable annual cuts in mountain pine beetle areas.
A report on the forest industry’s harvesting of beetle-killed timber confirms that industry has been meeting government’s expectations for concentrating harvesting on dead pine trees, but says the harvest of other kinds of trees is increasing more than expected in some areas of the province. “The switch from harvesting dead pine trees to live non-pine trees means the mid-term timber supply is starting to be cut now and not five to 10 years in the future,” said board chair Tim Ryan. “The issue, simply put, is that the more live trees that are harvested now, the lower the sustainable harvest level will be after the salvage program is finished. We believe the chief forester needs to respond to the rapidly changing situation with timely updates to the allowable annual cuts.” The majority of the pine trees harvested last year were dead, but over the last four years, the total amount of pine in the harvest has been steadily decreasing and was under 60 per cent of the harvest last year, he said. The Forest Practices Board is encouraging government to re-evaluate decisions about what should be harvested in those areas, taking into account the current dynamics of salvage harvesting. It’s sage advice and advice that should be heeded. The only question is whether our LNGfocused government will pay attention to what’s happening in the forests.

Celebrating northern animals Ruth Lloyd Caledonia Courier What do you do when your son falls in love with a book full of foreign animals and you want to offer him a chance to do the same with more local animals, but you can’t find the right book? You make a book. Or you do if you’re Kristen Cooper, one of the most creative and crafty people I have ever met. “I wanted him to see animals that he would actually see around here … so I just started painting them,” said Cooper, describing how her son Kesten had received an animal book full of exotic jungle animals for Christmas which became one of his favourites. But she wanted him to get to know the animals around Fort St. James as well, and so she started a project with the paintings. Cooper had not done a lot of painting since she took a few classes at university, but she didn’t let that
Kristen Cooper holds two of the 27 animal paintings she did to create her children’s book on the animals of northern B.C.
Ruth Lloyd/Caledonia Courier
slow her down. Cooper compiled 27 paintings and information she researched into a children’s book titled My Northern Animals, which she has now self-published through the website Blurb. The book is 30 pages, with each of the 27 animals having been painted by her and accompanied with some interesting facts on each one and the Dakelh (Carrier) word for each animal as well. Cooper, new to the
north, has been fascinated by the wildlife in the area, which is so visible in small communities like Fort St. James, and she said the northern animals often don’t get the spotlight they deserve. “We’re raising (our son) in the North and we want him to have an appreciation for the land and the environment he lives in,” she said. Researching the animals was a fun job for Cooper, who said
she could have written a book about each one, and there were so many animals she couldn’t include them all. Some of the facts she includes in her book are details like how the boreal owl uses its hearing to hunt under the snow, and how cougars can jump nearly as high as a twostory house. But she said there were plenty of things she didn’t get to include which were just as interesting, like the
fact adult wolves will leave their pups with “babysitters” in the pack when they go out to hunt and the sevenyear population cycle which connects the snowshoe hare and the lynx, something documented since the early days of the fur trade. Cooper used some local knowledge as well to help with the book, consulting Guy Prince on the Dakelh spellings and names and she spoke to Sandra Sulyma, a local biologist, who helped her select some key animals in the area to include. “Having only been here about four years, I have been so fascinated by the abundance of new wildlife that I have seen,” said Cooper. “Writing and painting the book has been a great way for me to personally learn more about the local animal life and to have a deeper appreciation of it.” She said the project has inspired her to take up the hobbies of snowshoeing and tracking
animals tracks. “I hope that in writing this book that I can share some of that wonder with others,” she said. Cooper spent about one hour on each of the paintings and countless hours researching the animals thanks to her fascination. She began the project in January of this year and just recently published the book. She has also published a painted alpha-
bet book for children, a project she started after she got married and only recently completed, taking her five years. But she wanted to finish it for her son Kesten. Cooper and her husband David Nutbrown are expecting their second child very soon. To preview the book, go to: www. blurb.ca and search for A Painted Alphabet or My Northern Animals.

“Every river crossing is unique and will be met with proven world-class engineering solutions.” – Ray Doering, P. Eng. Lead Engineer, Northern Gateway Director of Project Services, Northern Gateway
Meet the expert:
Northern Gateway understands and respects British Columbia’s unique environment. That is why we have detailed engineering and environmental plans for each unique river crossing. GUIDANCE FROM LEADING EXPERTS Many specialists have lent their expertise to Northern Gateway, including Ray Doering who has over 25 years of experience and an extensive knowledge of engineering solutions in challenging environments. “The Northern Gateway pipeline traverses a wide variety of environments between Alberta and the coast of British Columbia. This terrain includes many river crossings which have high values in terms of fish habitats and ecosystems.” Northern Gateway’s crossings will be designed and built to the best standards in the world today.
and construction of Northern Gateway, our team has and will continue to work closely with regulatory agencies, First Nations, environmental specialists, and local residents with expert knowledge of the areas. INDIVIDUAL PLANS FOR EACH CROSSING After careful study of each river and stream on the Project’s route, Northern Gateway has developed individual plans for each crossing. “The type and design basis for the river crossings incorporate the latest technology and methodology available anywhere and are selected based on habitat, geology and other environmental considerations. These include horizontal directional drilling, direct pipe bores, open cut and micro tunneling in addition to isolated and other trenched crossing methods. Burial depth and pipe thickness will be engineered to ensure that the pipeline will withstand the most severe geologic and hydrologic events that might occur.” Northern Gateway is committed to doing everything possible in order to build a safer, better project.

Ray Doering is one of the lead engineers who has been working on Northern Gateway for nearly a decade. He specializes in construction and operations engineering for the pipeline.

“The object of the 4-H competitions is to train the heads and hands of the boys and girls; to give them broad and big hearts; to improve their health by giving them an interest in outdoor life; and to encourage on the part of all British Columbia citizens, a stronger and more intelligent interest in agriculture.” Such was the goal of the 4-H movement when it started in 1914 in British Columbia. During this first year, over 200 young people between the ages of 10 and 18 were involved in competitions sponsored by the Department of Agriculture. Originally the program focused on potatoes as a project but was expanded later that year to include poultry in order to interest more youth and to widen the influence of progressive farming practices on the BC farming community. Clubs were originally known as Boys and Girls clubs until they were renamed 4-H clubs in 1952 to more clearly represent the four H’s - head, heart, hands and health. Swine, beef, dairy, corn, potato and poultry projects were
Courier
popular in the early years, with the Department of Agriculture being instrumental in providing project training, instruction in judging and, support. In the 1950’s and 60’s, more effort was placed on recruiting and training volunteer leaders to assist with the clubs. While project training continued to be an important part of the program, the development of the individual 4-H member was given greater emphasis with a focus on public speaking, judging, citizenship and self development. Provincial Club Week began in the 1960’s as did member travel to national 4-H programs in Canada and the United States. In 1965, the Provincial Advisory Council (now called the B.C. 4-H Provincial Council) had its first meeting. Today the Council, comprised of volunteer representatives from each of the eight 4-H regions across British Columbia and the Yukon, continues to be the policy making body for the BC 4-H organization. In the 1970’s and 80’s, non-agricultural 4-H projects including crafts, environment, and outdoor
Regional Search and Rescue trains in Houston Nearly 40 people from Search and Rescue teams from across the region gathered in Houston for a day of training using iPads. Houston SAR Director Andy Muma is leading the region in a Search and Rescue game changer, which is drawing provincial and national interest, said Chris Mushumanski, Director of the B.C. SAR Association. Muma is applying iPad technology to the needs of SAR, and spent last Saturday in Houston training SAR teams from Vanderhoof, Burns Lake, Smithers, Fort St. James and Houston. Several SAR members from Prince George attended to learn about the potential of iPads for SAR. Muma will present the iPad and train 24 SAR teams from the entire B.C. north, from Fort St. John to Prince George on May 2 to 4. “It will be the first time ever that all the teams in the north have met together and trained,” said Mushumanski. “There’s significant things developing in the north that isn’t happening elsewhere in the province.”
living, were introduced as more non-farm youth joined the 4-H Program. Since the start, the BC Ministry of Agriculture and Lands has been highly supportive of our Program. Through the current partnership agreement, the 4-H Provincial Council is responsible for administration, management, policy making, marketing and sponsorship for the provincial 4-H Program. The Council currently employs four staff members to carry out these responsibilities in concert with the Council and it’s committees. Operating out of the new office in Vernon, the staff consists of a Manager, Administrative Coordinator, Fund Development Coordinator, Fund Development Assistant, Program Coordinator, and a Communications and Marketing Coordinator. Ministry Youth Community Development Programs staff are responsible for leadership training and program development and delivery. This partnership encourages 4-H’s increasing responsibility and ownership of it’s own program. Today, almost 3,000 young people between
the ages of six and 21, together with thousands of volunteer leaders, families, alumni and sponsors, make up the 4-H Program in British Columbia. Horse, beef and sheep projects are the most popular, however, increasingly more members are enrolling in projects such as dog, rabbit, swine, llama, Cloverbuds and others. There are abundant opportunities for both members and leaders - travel, training and education, scholarships, ambassadorship, fun and friendships. 4-H is also cross-generational! Many former members whose parents were club leaders, become leaders themselves as their children enter the 4-H program. 2014 will mark the 100th anniversary of 4-H in British Columbia. While 4-H has changed and evolved a great deal since it’s start in 1914, the impact of the program on our young people is as relevant today as it was back then. 4-H continues to teach young people to successfully meet the challenges not only of their own futures but also the future of their communities.

RCMP report Some files of note from the Fort St. James RCMP between March 27 and April 2, 2014. On March 27 at 7:07 a.m., a male complainant called from the Nak'azdli Reserve to report an intruder in a residence. The caller said a man was sexually assaulting his sister, who was unconscious at the time. The man said he fought with the suspect who then fled the scene. RCMP then located the suspect in another residence on the reserve. The suspect was known to the victim and the caller, and he was arrested for sexual assault. The suspect will appear in provincial court on June 16. March 29 at one minute after midnight, RCMP patrolling on Highway 27 observed a Blue Dodge Dakota driving erratically by the Petro Canada station. The members initiated a traffic stop and the male driver from Fort St. James admitted to drinking previously. The driver was also reported to display signs of alcohol impairment and subsequently produced a fail reading on a roadside screening device. The driver was issued a 90-day roadside prohibition, his vehicle was impounded for 30 days and a quantity of Budweiser beer was seized and destroyed at the scene. March 29 at 10:13 a.m. RCMP received a call from an off-duty member who reported a highly intoxicated female was stumbling around in the Fields store. RCMP arrived at the store and located the female suspect, arresting her for public intoxication. Upon searching the suspect, RCMP found a number of T-shirts with tags still on them, a chocolate bunny and a bottle of Listerine, still unopened on her person. When she could not provide evidence of having purchased the items, RCMP spoke to the staff of both Overwaitea and Fields who had observed the suspect in both stores. The staff reported they had not sold the
suspect the items, however management declined to press charges. The suspect was held until sober and released. March 29 at 3 p.m., RCMP conducting traffic enforcement on Highway 27 between Fort St. James and Vanderhoof checked a vehicle at 120 km per hour in a 100 km per hour speed zone. RCMP then stopped the vehicle and spoke to the male driver, reporting a strong odour of alcohol was coming from the vehicle. The driver did not have a driver's licence and was asked if he had been drinking. The man admitted to having had a drink earlier and subsequently failed on a roadside screening device. The driver was issued a ticket for driving without a licence, having open liquor in a vehicle and speeding. His vehicle was impounded for 30 days, and he was also issued a 90-day roadside prohibition from driving. March 30 at 1:45 p.m., RCMP members patrolling near King's Diner located a suspect passed out in the driver's seat of a van. There were empty wine and beer containers in the seat next to him. The driver, known to RCMP, did not have a driver's licence. The man woke up and had the keys to the vehicle in his pocket. He subsequently produced a fail reading on a roadside screening device and was issued a 24-hour driving prohibition and the van was impounded for 24 hours. March 31 at 1:59 p.m., a male attended the Fort St. James RCMP detachment to report an assault. The male complainant said he and a suspect had argued over salvage taking place at the Fort St. James transfer station. The man said he was then struck with a bike tire and choked by the suspect. Both men are residents of Fort St. James and the suspect was then located and arrested for assault with a weapon and will appear in court on July 21.

First sign of spring
NEWS
Wednesday, April 9, 2014 Caledonia Courier
LEFT: Signs of spring are showing through on Stuart Lake, as some open water is visible from the pergola next to the View Hotel and King’s Diner. Bare ground means the mud is beginning, the first step towards summer. Ruth Lloyd/Caledonia Courier
Student of the Week ✦ Grade 11 Fort St. James Secondary ✦ Nominated by Kelly Inden
Rachael Crook
“She’s a very all-around kind of student,” said Inden, who called Rachael a “phenomenal writer” who is very perceptive and writes beautifully structured pieces. “She has a maturity in her thinking remarkable for a Grade 11 student.” Rachael volunteers in the community as a speed skating coach for younger skaters and with Brownies and is in the social justice club at FSJSS. “I can always count on Rachael,” said Inden. Rachael helps with digital media work and is artistic. “She’s very well-rounded,” and “always works very hard,” said Inden.
Year-round riding Ruth Lloyd Caledonia Courier For most people, the biking season in Fort St. James is likely from May until September or October. There may be some who are more dedicated, and push into November, depending on snow. But if you're Eric Ravnaas, you pretty much ride yearround on the local trails, snow or no snow. "We have an awesome set of trails here," said Ravnaas. He likes riding the local mountain bike trails so much he does not quit when winter sets in and the snow begins to fall. Instead, Ravnaas shovels a section of trail (for those who know the trails by name, from Boneyard to the top of Lumpy's). Ravanaas estimates the section of trail he maintains at four kilometres long. He said he does get help from Jeff Jones, a coworker who is also a dedicated mountain biker and can be seen riding his bike to work at the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Management through the winter, but Ravnaas doesn't look at it as work. "No biggy at all - it's perfect," said Ravnaas, who called the shovelling a win-win, as he gets exercise from the shovelling to keep himself in shape, and then also gets to ride the trails after. He said he normally goes out to shovel for a couple of hours at a time. While he said the trails can be a little more challenging with snow and ice in some sections, he doesn't even use studded tires, which Jones does, he just lets out some air from his tires to increase the traction and goes for it. "It's just so smooth, it's so much fun," he said. Ravnaas credits his job with the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Management with allowing him the time to work on the trails. When he gets sections of leave in December and January, he gets out and tries to keep the trails clear while it snows. This time of year, as the trail goes through the freezethaw cycle, it can get icy, so Ravnaas sands the trails, carrying up sand in a pack frame or in buckets. Once the snow and ice are gone, he will work on 14-16 km of trails with a rake to maintain the trails. His goal is to keep the trails from degrading, and he said the man who built many of the trails years ago had a keen eye for where to put them on the landscape. Ravnaas said he didn't come up with the idea to keep the trails open in the winter himself, and credits Gord Martin with that, but said he has been doing it for many years and can't remember when he started. Ravnaas is only loosely affiliated with the local mountain biking club, and doesn't ask for help from other members, enjoying the job himself at this point. "I kind of love living in this little cocoon," he said. "When they do the autopsy on me, they're going to find out my skull's a little thicker," he joked.
Don't let the snow stop you...
Ruth Lloyd/Caeledonia Courier
The fifty-six year-old doesn't just do it for himself either, he knows his work helps others who walk, bike or run the trails. "A lot of people enjoy it," he said. He approaches the job with a very pragmatic attitude. "I'm kind of of the mind that if you want to go do it, you (MJHP TZY \JJPQ^ Ć^JWX have to get out and put the work in," he said.
