N EWS Destination B.C. gives more details on funding changes
By Alicia Bridges and Chris Gareau Smithers/Interior News
Destination B.C. (DBC) has issued a letter to stakeholders outlining more details about proposed changes to the way it distributes funding for marketing to the regions. Bulkley Valley tourism stakeholders last week raised concerns about planned changes which would aim to align the work of regional tourism associations, such as Northern B.C. Tourism (NBCT), with the provincial marketing strategy. Tourism Smithers marketing director Gladys Attrill told The Interior News last week she feared the Bulkley Valley would only receive funding if it aligned with a province-wide marketing plan
devised in the lower mainland, citing a lack of communication from DBC about the changes. On Oct. 6, after she was interviewed by The Interior News, DBC chief executive Marsha Walden issued a letter to stakeholders outlining more details about the proposed changes and expressing her regrets about a perceived lack of transparency. “Some aspects of our proposed programs have become public and, in the absence of information from Destination B.C., this has generated interest in communities and the industry,” wrote Walden. “It is always our intent to be as transparent as possible, while respectful of our contractual relationships, and I sincerely regret the lack of

Teacher aims big
From SMITHERS on Front “One of the branches of this board is all to do with health and food in the schools,” explained Hubert, who said he did not think he was much of a speaker but was surprised by a rousing ovation from the teachers and officials who heard his speech in Ottawa. The teachers at the awards were asked to speak about their goals, which Hubert said for him was to instill confidence in students and promote healthy living. “I went up there and thought ‘I’m just going to talk right from my gut, from my heart and just say what I feel and believe’... It was the most incredible thing, I wasn’t finished my speech — I was about four minutes into it — the whole audience just started applauding. I had to stop my speech and wondered what the heck is going on?” said Hubert, whose wife’s battle with cancer for the last decade has in part inspired his passion. Staff at the high school recommended Hubert for the award. Principal Jaksun Grice showed off Hubert’s inventions
at the high school, including the geodome and a laser metal cutter hooked up to computer software for intricate designing. “Rick is one of those quiet, unassuming teachers that you don’t hear a lot from, but if you actually go in his classroom you see amazing things Smithers Secondary School principal Jaksun Grice peruses the yearhappening,” said round geodome Chris Gareau photo Grice, who added Hubert brings in people from the community to later for other regions that is done throughout the world,” make things happen. would tell grocery shoppers said the teacher who is not “Kids, if they come into the nutrients in the fruits and afraid to go big.

Telkwa meets with ministers at UBCM By Kendra Wong Telkwa/Interior News
The Village of Telkwa is hoping to get the ball rolling on initiatives that have been in the works for a while after meetings with several ministers at a convention in Whistler recently. Mayor Carman Graf and councillors Rick Fuerst and Rimas Zitkauskas represented the village at the Union of British Columbia Municipalities in September. During this year’s convention, representatives continued discussions around a resolution they put forward three years ago regarding the transportation of hazardous materials through the community. “The focus of the discussions were the response capabilities and our position that those capabilities aren’t at a level where they need to be,” said Zitkauskas. “We got a bit of traction there, we received a few follow-up calls from the ministry to expand on that see what the next steps are.” They also met with Minister of Community, Sport and Cultural Development Coralee Oakes and Premier Christy Clark regarding funding to build a new reservoir. “We got a favourable response
to our needs and we were encouraged to apply for the new round of Build Canada funding,” said Zitkauskas. “They also recognize the potential future need for housing in the North . . . and without the additional water storage capacity in Telkwa, we won’t be able to support those initiatives.” The village brought home the public sector collaboration award for the biomass district heating system that was built in partnership with School District 54. “There was a lot of interest from communities about the process,” said Zitkauskas. “It’s great to be able to share that and see that there are communities that are interested in replicating something that we’ve done in Telkwa.” The village also received $10,000 to complete a utility rate review to ensure rates for utilities are meeting operational needs. The convention was a chance for representatives to bring ideas from other municipalities back to their communities. Zitkauskas said he is most excited about the possibility of webcasting council meetings, something he intends to look into and see if it is an option.

A sad state of democracy I
t is well known that municipal and school board elections are the poorer cousins of provincial and federal contests when it comes to voter turnout. School trustees can be elected with a couple dozen votes in regions with thousands of voting age citizens. What is turning this election into a particulary pitiful example of democracy is the number of candidates, or lack thereof, looking to take the reigns of power at community councils, district boards, and school boards. The village of Hazelton has a choice of what they already have, and nothing else. Acclamations all around. Smithers is stuck with Taylor Bachrach for another term as mayor, whether Smithereens want him or not. Coast Mountains School District could not even get enough people to fill all the seats on its school board: only one person from Terrace decided it was worth the effort when the board has three spots reserved for the city of over 11,000 people. So what is the deal? Candidate apathy certainly won’t put a dent in voter apathy. This is not a good state of affairs, and calls for a closer look. An easy start would be to abolish school boards, or at least cut the number of board members. This should not be done because of voter apathy, but for efficiency. Less democracy is almost always the wrong way to go, but with school boards, there is not much democracy lost. A school board is beholden to the wishes of the province it resides in. Ever since Canada was founded in 1867, education has been a provincial responsibility. The province chooses the curriculum, how much money to spend, and where schools get built or closed. District-specific ideas like the proposed multiplex in Smithers are mostly costed and conceptualized by the administration. The school board seems to exist to simply vote on accepting money. A good trustee will try to engage the public in ideas like what technology to use in the classroom, but so does a good superintendent or teacher. The best way to be engaged with what schools and school districts are doing is to show up to board meetings, where the superintendent and other administration usually run the show to explain the goings on, or to join a parent advisory council. The councils carry more weight than any trustee could, which is the way it should be. A lack of municipal candidates is more troubling. They actually shape the community through boring but oh-so-important zoning bylaws. Those choices help a downtown thrive, or push business and services to decline. Chris Gareau

L ETTERS Rednecks need to vote out council
Editor: I was born in Smithers in 1972. I have lived there for the most of my years or in neighbouring towns and villages. Now we live in Merritt, B.C. Recently my wife and four children and I journeyed north for a cousin’s wedding, as to visit old friends. We first passed through 100 Mile House where we saw the world’s biggest set of cross-country skis. Further on we passed through Houston where we saw the biggest fly-fishing rod in the world. But it was a day after our arrival in Smithers, that we saw the world’s biggest WOOD SHED on the end of main street... yikes! We learned later from our friends (all of whom own businesses) of the huge cost in building this enormous wood shed. Double yikes! I cannot believe how far left Smithers has swung since my youth. When I was growing up I couldn’t count the number of five-axle logging trucks that dotted the streets in the afternoon when they arrived back from the bush, now the council and mayor have outlawed trucks from the town. Smithers has great potential to be the mining, forestry and agricultural centre for the Northwest, but from what I hear and read the mayor and council are making that very difficult to happen. Open for business? I think not! Rather I think Smithers is open for tourism only. The problem is, tourism will not pay for the social projects that the mayor and council have established; bike lanes, bike racks and community WOOD SHEDS! Time for the rednecks to come out of hiding and boot this mayor and council to the curb in the next election. Tyler Fox Merritt, B.C.

Editor: I wanted to express my thanks to the people of Smithers and offer an outsider’s thoughts on this place many of you call home. We have been traveling from Alaska, headed to our various homes in the States. As we traveled from Prince Rupert towards Smithers surrounded by incredible views, our car died. Finding ourselves, (three women and a dog) on the side of the road just after the sign marking the Highway of Tears, we were concerned and hopeful that we would find our way out of the predicament. We counted our bless-

ings when we found that we had enough cell service to reach a tow company that offered to reach us in 45 minutes. However, before that happened a car stopped and two women bravely and compassionately stopped to see if we were okay. I say bravely because my impression was that they felt they should look out for women stranded on the side of the road and at the same time didn’t really know if we were all women in the car as they hadn’t caught a glimpse of us all. Their help was invaluable, as the tow truck could not accommodate all of us. They directed us to a wonderful mechanic, a hotel and incredibly gave the dog and myself a ride.

Specifically thank you to the two of you. This is what I learned in Smithers and I hope that those who live and work here will find ways to make this information useful. The most amazing resource you have is the people of Smithers — more magnificent than that most magnificent Hudson Mountain. Respect, grow and celebrate this. Take good care of yourselves because you are a precious resource. Take good care of your neighbours because they are too. As someone who lives and works in the U.S., I am all too aware of the influence of government, institutional and corporate interests in my life. Encourage and partici-
pate in your institutions to lay a foundation that promotes the well being of those living in Smithers. Better that these institutions support you as individuals (as this is what they were originally created for and sometimes larger interests forget this). The examples I offer are these: I met a woman who needed to work in her retirement to meet people. I met a woman in home health who needed to give to others as they are not as they seem to outsiders. I met a woman who needed food so she begged. There are times in everyone’s life when we need help from others. Like it or not, it takes a community to raise a person through a lifetime. The larger institutions should support individual caregivers to assist in care that matches the person in need, not the other way around. One of the wonderful things about Smithers is that you are a group of individuals with a wide variety of ways to live a life from broad cultural and, I suspect, mixed back-
Editor: The Oct. 9 CBC article titled Enbridge Line 9B pipeline delayed by NEB over major water body concerns shows clearly the company’s disregard for safety and the environment. The attached conditions to the NEB approval of the reversal of Line 9A to carry bitumen to the east coast, required Enbridge to identify all major water bodies and put valves within one kilometre on each side of their crossings. The NEB reported that only six of the 104 such crossings appeared to have such valves installed. Worse, the NEB disagrees with Enbridge’s criteria for the determination of what a “major water crossing” is. I wonder if at the recent open houses that Enbridge held for the Northern Gateway pipeline project, they justified NOT placing valves on either side of major areas which only THEY have the right to designate. I also wonder how the paid anonymous members of the invisible Community Advisory Boards (CAB) on the Northern Gateway — supposedly representing our communities — are holding Enbridge to task on their empty promises.

Included in the letter is a “draft vision for new programs” with additional information about plans to increase cooperative marketing funding, decentralize access to funds and improve strategic alignment with DBC’s brand positioning. Tourism minister Shirley Bond also responded to concerns raised by Smithers Mayor Taylor Bachrach about whether the changes would impact local tourism marketing. “DBC is going to consult widely with RDMOs and with industry stakeholders so that each region’s unique marketing needs are met,” said Bond. “It is critical that there be consultation to ensure that regions and organizations have the ability to provide input from a local and regional perspective.” The letter also said that since the inception of DBC 18 months ago, the board and executive team met with hundreds of stakeholders to learn about the strategies and programs that the tourism industry is seeking. “B.C. has approximately 18,000 tourism businesses, so while hundreds of industry stakeholders sounds good, it is a very small fraction of what is out there. I am unaware of any consultation with businesses in this area,” said Atrill when asked for her response to the letter. The letter’s statement that more of the $90 million in the district marketing organizations (DMO) system was to be invested in marketing and not administration also caught Atrill’s attention, specifically the amount of money DBC was referring to. “The $90 million referred to is made up of approximately $50 million

B.C. wood moves up China’s value chain By Tom Fletcher Black Press
When B.C.’s wood products trade mission visited Nanjing, China five years ago, government and industry representatives watched lumber being hauled by labourers with ropes onto the roofs of a vast expanse of concrete apartment buildings. Trusses were built using hammers and handsaws, to replace thousands of roofs damaged by the deadly 2008 Sichuan earthquake. Builders were pleased with the new method, which replaced angle iron pulled up to the roofs and welded into trusses. When B.C.’s annual delegation returned to Nanjing this Thanksgiving weekend for its annual Asia
sales trip, Forests Minister Steve Thomson said the roof reconstruction work continues. But now wood construction has become more sophisticated in Jiangsu Province, a centre of electronics and other industries whose gross domestic product is half as much as all of Canada. “They’re doing residential properties, they’re also doing recreational properties, the villas, planned communities,” Thomson said in a phone interview from Nanjing Oct. 11. Thomson also met with executives of Sinar Mas, the Indonesian conglomerate that has invested heavily in B.C.’s wood pulp industry through its Richmond-based subsidiary Paper Excellence. The B.C. delegation toured
the world’s largest paper mill, which uses all of the production from Mackenzie Pulp in northern B.C. and most of Howe Sound Pulp and Paper. Paper Excellence also owns the pulp mill in Skookumchuck in the Kootenays, and this spring it purchased the former Tembec pulp mill in Chetwynd that has been shut down since 2012. The annual lumber trade mission is required by B.C. legislation. Thomson said the next stop in Beijing is for his first meetings with nationallevel Chinese officials, before the group heads to Tokyo and Seoul, South Korea. Lumber purchases to China have risen steadily in the past decade, with sales surpassing the U.S. for the first time in 2011.

Throne speech focuses on LNG, teachers By Tom Fletcher Victoria/Black Press
Premier Christy Clark’s government launched its fall legislative session Oct. 6 with a speech from the throne offering progress on resource trade, partnership with aboriginal people and labour peace with public school teachers. The speech described B.C. following the same path to Asia for liquefied natural gas as it did in expanding lumber trade
when the U.S. housing market declined. “Like forestry, B.C.’s natural gas industry has relied on exports to the United States,” said the speech, read by Lt. Governor Judith Guichon. “But the American shale gas revolution has meant the export south has dried up — and is never coming back.” The gas industry employs 1,700 people in the Fort Nelson area alone, and can be maintained only by reaching Asian markets.
The speech notes that Chinese LNG consumption rose by a fifth in the first half of 2014. “This is a chance — not a windfall,” the speech notes, after one of the leading investment groups warned of shifting conditions that could delay its participation. Clark told reporters after the speech that talks continue with Petronas, leader of one of the largest of 15 current LNG proposals, with a pipeline and gas export facilities planned for the B.C. north
coast. “We are good at negotiating in this government,” Clark said. “We’ve got a good record. We’re going to keep negotiating hard.” The government plans to table framework legislation this month to define the environmental standards and tax structure for the industry, which has more than a dozen international players considering LNG development.

Injured workers were in dryer area From PINNACLE on Front Two patients with minor injuries were then transferred to the University Hospital of Northern B.C. in Prince George before being released. The third patient was transferred to Vancouver. Scott McCloy from WorksafeBC said, “WorkSafeBC Prevention officers arrived on scene at about noon. They will be working to determine what happened and why it happened. WorkSafeBC officers are coordinating with the RCMP and other regulatory bodies, including the BC Safety
Authority, in this regard. At this point, it is difficult to determine how long it will take to determine the cause, but our hope is to determine the cause quickly. “It is my understanding that the three workers were in the dryer area at the time of the incident. We have not at this point determined whether there was an explosion or a fire.” Luke Strimbold, mayor of the Village of Burns Lake, said this: “On behalf of our entire community, I would like to extend our thoughts,
prayers, and support for a healthy recovery to the workers of Pinnacle Pellet.” WorkSafeBC last inspected this mill on June 17 of this year. At the time of that inspection it was determined that combustible dust issues were being managed. The mill has not been inspected since that time. However, WorkSafeBC launched another combustible dust effort related to the pellet industry on Oct. 1 and the Burns Lake facility is on the schedule to be inspected.

N EWS LNG bargaining power lost: NDP From THRONE on A11 NDP leader John Horgan said it’s been a year since the government first promised a tax structure for LNG, and now with a deadline looming at of the end of October, Clark is trying to back away from 2013 election promises to retire B.C.’s debt and slash taxes based on LNG revenue. “I think we gave away our bargaining power when it comes to liquefied natural gas,” Horgan said. “Everyone in the

sector knows that the premier is way out on a branch and made commitments that she cannot keep.” The speech described the recent six-year labour agreement with B.C. teachers after a strike that stretched from spring to the early weeks of the fall school term. “British Columbia can look forward to five years of labour peace,” the speech said. “This is unprecedented. We cannot let this opportunity pass.”

Throne speech lacks specifics: Donaldson By Kendra Wong Smithers/Interior News
Stikine MLA Doug Donaldson said Premier Christy Clark didn’t do enough to back up her words in a rare fall throne speech at the legislature last week. During the first fall address in three years last Monday, Lt.Gov. Judith Guichon delivered the throne speech outlining the B.C. Liberals’ priorities in the coming months which focus on moving forward with plans to develop a liquefied natural gas (LNG) industry. But Donaldson said the speech falls short and fails to go into specifics about how they intend to achieve their goals. “There were a lot of missed opportunities in the throne speech. There were a lot of contradictory words as well,” said Donaldson. “When you’ve got a thing like Mount Polley that happens
Stikine MLA Doug Donladson and then you say ‘the land sustains us’, it’s incumbent upon them to prove in their blueprint that they recognize that many people have concerns about the cumulative affects of LNG development.” He pointed out that there was no mention of the Northwest B.C. Resource Benefits Alliance, made up of municipalities in the region, who have met with the premier at the annual Union of British Columbia Municipalities last month to discuss revenue-sharing from such projects.
“She’s well aware of what they’re proposing,” said Donaldson. “They’re proposing that some of the benefits start flowing up front for communities to deal with the impacts of developments that are happening now and yet they didn’t take that opportunity in the throne speech.” Donaldson also said he would like to see the premier conduct an environmental assessment to find out how LNG projects would affect the region and address the safety of women on the Highway of Tears with a public transit system. “They could have put some meat to the words ‘the lands sustain us’ and ‘B.C. jobs and benefits to communities for resource development’ that they chose not to do and if you don’t back up you words with actions, people begin to distrust the government, in this case, even more,” he added.

Percy defends title at worlds
Lac La Hache Tomahawks

Smithers/Interior News
A Smithers man defended his title as a kickboxing world champion in Ireland last week. Dave Percy, coowner of C.O.B. Bike Shop brought home gold for the third year in a row at the WKC World Championships from Oct. 6-9. Coach Marwan Abu Khadra said Percy’s final fight was against an opponent who was roughly a head taller than him, but he still managed to control a majority of the fight. “It was intense. The last fight was the best fight where he won gold,” said Abu Khadra. “They both wanted badly to win the fight, but Dave mastered the ring quite well. He controlled the fight from the beginning to the end. He had the right timing, the right technique for answering to the opponent. It was very, very good.” He added that Percy was very well-prepared conditionally and fought aggressively to help him capture gold. Along with gold, Percy also took home bronze in two other categories: the team continuous fighting and the continuous

The Smithers Steelheads played back-to-back games dropping the first game and winning the second on the road last weekend. The first of two weekend games on Saturday night saw the Steelheads face off against the Lac La Hache Tomahawks. Houston’s Cole Hasell scored the team’s lone goal of the night. Despite the 6-1 loss, forward Randall Groot, who had a helper on the goal from Hasell, believes the game should have been a lot closer. “They have a really big rink there and it’s really tough to play,” said Groot. “There’s no glass on one side and a lot of funny bounces and we didn’t score on our chances there. It was a lot closer of a game than the score suggests.” The team registered 31
shots on net. Recent Burns Lake aquisition David Little was in goal for the first time and stopped 30 of 36 shots throughout the night. The team was also only playing with two forward lines instead of three, which began to take a toll on players. Putting a disappointing loss behind them and with more players able to suit up, the Steelheads took on the Quesnel Kangaroos, picking up their first win of the season 7-4 Sunday afternoon. “We started scoring on our chances finally and our goalie played very well,” said Groot. “We played really good in the defensive zone and had a lot of good saves from our goalie and just shot the puck from high-percentage spots and scored on our chances.” The team received an offensive boost from rookie centre Brendan Devries who scored his first hat trick in the Central Interior Hockey League.

“It feels good. I got a good pass from my brother Adam again and I threw it on net. Their D-man was screening . . . and the goalie didn’t see it and it went in gloveside,” said Devries, adding that he was glad to make up for his lack of scoring the previous night. His brother Adam also picked up a goal and Cole Hasell scored twice. Groot said the key to their success is simple: start scoring. “We have to start scoring if we’re going to win games,” he said. The Steelheads currently sit fourth in the CIHL with a record of 1-2. Their first home game is this Saturday at the Smithers Civic Arena. Puck drops at 7:30 p.m against the Terrace River Kings. Groot said the team is excited to play on familiar ice. “We’re looking forward to finally playing at home and hopefully get a good turnout,” he said.
fighting over 18 years old. Seventeen-year-old Tareq Abu Khadra made his fourth appearance at the world championships. But this was the first year he medalled, winning three silvers in continuous and point fighting for boys 16-17 years of age and team point fighting. According to Abu Khadra, Tareq’s best performance was in point fighting. “I didn’t have to coach Tareq at all. Tareq mastered that fantastically right at the beginning and he scored eight points to one. The German had no chance whatsoever,” he said. Tareq said training and perseverance helped him place for the first time at the worlds. “We did lots of training, you have to be focused. You can’t always win right off the bat, you need experience,” he said. “I spent lots of hours training during the week, never missed any classes and set it a priority above anything else.” Abu Khadra agreed. “It’s all training, routines and staying on the ball. You have to train to get the best results,” said Abu Khadra. See COMPETE on A14

Former Saltos coach returns By Kendra Wong Smithers/Interior News
A former Saltos gymnastics head coach returned to town where she spent over a decade teaching to run a training camp last Thanksgiving weekend. Alana Jensen, who was the head coach at the Saltos Gymnastic Club until a few months ago, was excited to come back to the club where she got her start. Jensen has been hard at work as the competitive coach at Flip City in Langley for the last few months. “I’m excited to see the kids again,” she said. During the two-day intensive training camp, Jensen taught girls of all levels. “I’m working with a lot of high-level coaches here. I’ve picked up new techniques and lots of stuff
for beam and flexibility over the last month and a half,” said Jensen. Becky Stavast with the club said Jensen’s familiarity with the kids made her a top choice for this year’s camp. She added that they normally bring in coaches for the semi-annual camp, but this is the first time they’ve brought back a former club coach. “[She has] lots of knowledge, plus she knows the kids, that time that coaches have to take to get to know the kids, she already knows what they’re working on and where they’re at,” said Stavast. Though she admitted she missed some of the girls she used to coach, Jensen is excited to share what she has learned with gymnasts in Smithers. “I want to pass on any new information that I have learned and just check on how the club is doing,” she said.

Hunt, Glanz compete From WORLDS on A13 “Most of the time the technical ability isn’t the question, it’s the conditioning and the stamina at the end.” Tristan Hunt, 13 and Ben Glanz, 8, also travelled to Ireland, but did not medal. Abu Khadra said both had excellent fights against older opponents. “Ben had to fight people four years older and that’s very tough, but he did very well,” said Abu Khadra. “Tristan just turned 13
and he fights people who are 15 years old.” Overall, Abu Khadra said all four Smithers competitiors held their own against fighters from around the world. “Their opponents were very, very strong, well prepared and we had a really hard time adjusting, but we achieved very good results, we won lots of events,” he said, adding that the Canadian team usually returns with the most amount of medals.

Drive What you can’t see is the 317 kgs that the ‘15 F-series has lost, thanks to that aluminum body and the increased use of high-strength steel in the frame – but, you can certainly feel it while driving. The truck is nimbler, has less wash in the corners and simply handles better. The cab is virtually silent and for comfort, the HVAC is split side-toside, front and rear. The hood and side windows have dropped in profile for better visibility, while the size, colours and quality of the computer generated gauges and controls simplifies operation while driving. I towed with the new truck and its manners are good if not improved. In part, this is assisted by the long list of towing features like trailer sway control; tow/haul mode; Dynamic Hitch Assist, SelectShift transmission and better tow mirrors. Off-road an electronic manual rear
differential locker has been added. This truck churns mud better than ever. Verdict Payload is up (to 900 kgs) and so is towing (approx. 5.5 tonnes) yet overall body weight is down by 317 kgs. Ford offers four engines and even the smallest 2.7L EcoBoost will still tow up to 3.8 tonnes. The cab is quieter, yet larger. The floor is flat yet has more storage compartments. The dash is less cluttered yet offers more information. Do you sense a theme here? Consider that the design phase of this truck took four years and the testing was the most intense ever. The result? A list of improvements a hockey rink long – that’s a fact. Now, how will they all work together? Well Ford’s claims will have to play out on roads, across Canada, in the coming years. But from what I’ve seen in Texas, I’d say Giddy Up!
Question of the Week The all-new Ford F-150 graces the front of Driveway this week as it looks to maintain its constant premier position as the truck of choice. What do its rivals have to do to make a bigger mark in sales? Go to DrivewayCanada.ca to submit your answer. QUESTION

With the distractions of technology, smartphones, television programming, life, video games and more, it can be tough to find an activity in which the whole family can participate let alone enjoy. Age differences between children, gender, and general interests can vary greatly. My brother and I couldn’t be more opposite. Rest assured, there is hope and some of it comes in the form of two wheels. Scott Ponuick, marketing and promotions manager at Popkum Motor Park, in Rosedale, raced snowmobiles and ATVs as a child. And he road raced for many years of his life. He also grew up around the racetrack as his father raced stock cars. You could say motor oil runs through his veins and that motor oil has since been passed to his family. He mentions: “Before we had kids, I bought Christine (his wife) a bike; a Honda XR 86,” since she showed interest in the sport. For all the time that Christine cheered on her husband, it was time for her to get in her own saddle. He fixed it up and it ran like new. She loved it. She explains: “It was fun watching him, but I’d rather be out there too!” Not too long after that, Christine became pregnant with their first child. “Before she (Taylor) was even born, we started talking about what bike we should get her and getting gear ready for her for when she was old enough,” Christine says. By the time Taylor was two years old she was on two wheels. With training wheels, of course. Then again, you could argue that she was on two wheels much before then because the only way she’d fall asleep as a baby was when her dad would ride her around the back yard in a harness. “She always wanted to get on the bike,” Christine recounts. “Taylor always wanted daddy to take her around.” Now that Taylor is six and her little brother, Chase, is three, they both can ride their own bikes and have a blast doing it. At home, the kids are on Oset electric trials bikes. They don’t make any noise so they can play in the back yard until the batteries run out! There’s also a “throttle” modulator that makes sure the kids can’t get themselves into too much trouble. Scott and Christine consider themselves very lucky because everyone in the family loves to get out onto the trails, even if they aren’t moving very quickly! “It’s so cool to see Taylor and Chase progress,” says Scott. Even though Scott’s employment brings him to Popkum Motor Park weekly, he said that he’d still take the kids on dirt bikes regardless. “It’s such a great way to build motor skills, coordination, a love of the outdoors and you just create so many memories together.” He talks about the families who come out to the Park. Moms, dads, and kids alike take to the track. “There’s one family that comes to mind… I’ve watched the kids grow up over the last 12 years. For example, the dad and daughter will show up, and then they’ll turn laps together. And then they pull over and chat about their laps and the things they can work on.” Christine comments: “You value time together more when you’re all doing something that you all love. As a full-time working mom, I’m so grateful we have riding as a common bond.” Some might be concerned about safety when it comes to speed and kids. But like any other sport, with the proper equipment, training and supervision, dirt biking is quite safe. And did I mention fun? “I couldn’t think of a better way to spend the day,” Christine remarks.

Telkwa mayor honoured with award By Kendra Wong Telkwa/Interior News
Telkwa’s mayor has brought home hardware honouring him for more than two decades of service as a public servant from an annual municipality convention that will be his last as mayor. Mayor Carman Graf received the long service award at the Union of British Columbia Municipalities meeting in Whistler last month. “I was quite surprised and very pleased. I never expected it,” said Graf. “I’d never even thought about it. I just put in the years and did my thing. It was a very humbling experience.” The long service award is handed out
to people who have served a total of 25 years as an elected member of a council or regional board. Graf served as an Alderman (before they were called councillors) for the Town of Smithers from 1971-80 and from 1989-93, he also served as mayor of Smithers from 198185. He is currently wrapping up his second term as mayor of Telkwa. In total, he has completed 27 years on councils in the Bulkley Valley. Jane Stevenson, the economic development officer with the Village of Telkwa, nominated him for the award. “He has made significant contributions to local government for many

years,” said Stevenson, who has worked with Graf for three years. “It’s been great working with Carman. He’s a real, solid, steady mayor. It takes as lot to get him frazzled and he’s
a strong personality at the council table.” In Smithers, his proudest accomplishments include projects as large as the revitalization of Main Street in the
‘70s, finding a new water source for and building a reservoir, to smaller things such as improvements to buildings and streets. Graf moved to Telkwa in 2005 after he retired and ran for
mayor in 2008. Most notably, his accomplishments include remodelling the community hall and installing the biomass heating system. But it isn’t just his accomplishments that make him worthy of the award. “He genuinely loves his community and he’s proud of Telkwa also, which is really great,” said Stevenson. “[His wife Joan] and Carman are really fantastic community members.” While he has sat on countless meetings, Graf admitted he doesn’t consider himself a politician. “I’m not much of a talker, but I like doing things, I like building things and being involved in the town,” he said. “I was never much of a politician
per se, but I like doing things and building things and I still enjoy doing what I’m dong.” However, Graf’s current term as mayor will be his final. He will be stepping down as mayor and instead is running for a seat on council. With Graf in a less high-profile role, he still has his sights sets on making Telkwa a better place for residents. “I just like to continue on with the beautification of the village and keep it neat and tidy and keep the water running and the sewer working,” he said. Graf also received the diamond jubilee award a few years ago, which recognizes significant contributions and achievements by Canadians.
Woman in recovery, selected as torch bearer in relay By Kendra Wong Moricetown/Interior News
On March 2, Helen Nikal’s world was turned upside down. Moricetown’s Nikal and her sister Beatrice Morris were driving near Hope when they were involved in a fatal car accident. When Nikal woke up, she was in Royal Columbian Hospital in the Lower Mainland with broken ankles, ribs and wrists. Doctors told her she wouldn’t be able to walk anytime soon. Even more devastating was that she found out she
also lost her sister in the crash. Nikal was in rehabilitation for months following the accident starting the recovery
regain strength in her legs and learning to walk again. Most recently, she has started walking with a cane or walker.
“The car accident was tough. We almost lost my mom, but she fought through all that happened,” -Penny Nikal Torch bearer Helen Nikal’s daughter process. Since the crash, she has spent months in physiotherapy trying to
“They told us it would be a long recovery, but she’s been battling,” said her daughter Penny.
“She’s proven the doctors wrong and gotten better quickly.” For Nikal, the speedy recovery can be attributed to the strength she’s drawn from her 18 grandchildren and five great-grandchildren. “I’ve been hanging on real good for my grandkids,” said Helen. “They’ve been my inspiration. They’re doing stuff for me all the time.” It is Nikal’s strength and perseverance after the accident that made Penny nominate her to be a torch bearer for the upcoming Canada Winter Games in Prince George.

Smithers mayor, RCMP address downtown safety
By Chris Gareau
Smithers/Interior News
From RELAY on A21 “The car accident was tough. We almost lost my mom, but she fought through all that happened to her,” said Penny. “She had surgery after surgery and the doctors told us she might not make it, but she pulled through everything. She’s just an inspiration for all of us.” Nikal is also a cultural advocate and teaches Wet’suwet’en culture. On Oct. 3, she made the treck out to Prince George where Nikal learned she was selected to be a part of the relay. “I just want to let the people know that I’m so proud to carry the torch for them,” she said. What’s even more special is that Nikal’s late sister was also a torch bearer during
the 2010 B.C. Winter Games in Terrace. Nikal doesn’t know which leg of the race she will be participating in and won’t find out until closer to the date. She said if she isn’t fully healed by the race, she hopes her family members will help carry the torch during the relay. “My grandson Joel Nikal might be with me when I carry the torch so he can help me,” said Helen. Overall, 150 people were selected from across the province to carry the torch from Victoria to Prince George before the Games from Feb. 13 to March 1. Other torch bearers from the Bulkley Valley include Dominique Melanson and Shirley Belisle from Hazelton and Cormac Hikisch from Smithers.

Complaints about lewd behaviour that made some feel unsafe walking in downtown Smithers was addressed by the mayor, councillors and the local RCMP last week. Mayor Taylor Bachrach said concerns raised on Facebook page “Smithers Customer Service Review”, usually a page reserved for rating area businesses, led him and deputy mayor Frank Wray to meet with Smithers RCMP, the Salvation Army, Broadway Place Shelter, Positive Living North and town staff to discuss the issue. Smithers RCMP Staff Sgt. Kirsten Marshall wrote a detailed letter on how the RCMP responds to public disturbance complaints, which while not covering all incidents that police have to deal with, was very clear in explaining why not many complaints can lead to the criminal justice getting involved. “One of the things that came out of the social media conversation was that there seemed to be a lack of understanding of how the RCMP engage with situations in our downtown, especially around inappropriate behaviour,” said Bachrach, who added he was pleased with the clarity of Marshall’s letter. The mayor said he understood

behaviour are linked, and the town was in a position to help by accessing grants for non-profit groups like Smithers Action Group. See MOST REMEDIES on A23

“One thing we can do is to start from a place of trying to understand the people better, because they’re our neighbours and we live together,” said Bachrach. Louie Wilson and Jim Thomas were hanging out at Bovill Square Friday afternoon, sitting on the stage. They agreed there was a problem with some younger people who had issues with alcohol, and that people needed to feel safe downtown, but believe there is more to do to help the homeless in Smithers. Too many are being turned away from shelter according to Wilson, who lost a sister on the Highway of Tears. It took a year to find Ramona’s body. Thomas lost his brother Wayne, who was sleeping in the bush. “They’re in need of winter clothing and proper boots,” said Wilson, explaining how to help local homeless. Letter by Smithers RCMP Staff Sgt. Kirsten Marshall: In Canada, we are privileged to live in a free and democratic society. This means that we limit government interference in the private lives of Canadians to lawful and necessary purposes. Any police interference with personal liberty must be justified by some prevailing government interest, in the case of the RCMP, enforcement of the law, preservation of the peace, and protection of public safety, among other things. Police are called to and respond to a variety of offences and behaviours on a daily basis; not all of them—indeed fewer of them than

most people think—end up with someone’s liberty being taken away. The Smithers RCMP receive a variety of complaints related to the downtown core, often related to behaviours that are disturbing to the general public (ie: profanity, shouting, sleeping in public places, public drinking or intoxication). When police respond to these types of calls they are obligated to assess what they observe, in conjunction with the information they received from the complainant, to determine what actions they will take next. The public often assumes if they call the police, it will result in an individual being arrested but this is not always the case. Many police calls for service, based on a totality of circumstances, do not identify a situation that represents an offence against the laws of Canada, the province or the town, or meet the threshold of something that does harm to the public peace. Even when an offence has been committed, this does not automatically give the police the authority to arrest someone. Police take their authority to arrest primarily from section 495 of the Criminal Code of Canada, although there are provisions in others Acts, such as the Liquor Control and Licensing Act (LCLA), to arrest if certain conditions exist. Under the criminal code, police may arrest someone who has committed, is committing, or is about to commit a serious offence. Police may also arrest someone who is committing a less serious offence, but all arrests must be in the public
interest. If an arrest is not in the public interest, it must not happen. Police may also apprehend (not arrest), with the goal of taking a person to the hospital and not to jail, someone who is apparently suffering from a mental disorder AND who is acting dangerously. In the case of public intoxication complaints, the police must ask, “is the individual able to safely care for themselves, or do they have someone reasonably close by that is able to take responsibility/ care for them?”. If the answer is yes, the police must not arrest the individual under the LCLA. If the individual’s intoxication leads to a criminal offence—causing a disturbance or committing mischief, for example—an officer MAY arrest if it is in the public interest to do so. Police have discretion in these cases based on the totality of the circumstances. Not all behaviour that may be disturbing to the public (e.g. catcalls, whistling, begging, leering, obscene conversation, talking to oneself) necessitates police intervention. In fact, most of it does not, and should not. Most of it represents social transgression whose remedies (such as tolerance, patience, and understanding) can not be found in the criminal justice system. When that behaviour interferes with the public peace, violates the law, or is dangerous, you can be sure that the police, based on reasonableness and proportionality, will consider all of the lawful remedies at their disposal, up to and including arrest.

Thanksgiving a year-round feeling
SPICE OF LIFE Brenda Mallory Even though Thanksgiving is over I am sure there is still a concoction of some turkey delight cooking for another dinner of leftovers. Probably a piece of pumpkin pie is getting a bit wrinkled in the fridge. Stuff that still tastes good. I wasn’t actually thinking about turkey
dinner but I had to start somewhere. I was thinking how lucky I am to have so much to be thankful for. I even talked out loud to my dogs and the two ravens following me as we all walked in the rain. Today I was thankful for Stoney and Ned working at rebuilding an archway over my driveway. Even the Christmas lights have been added. It is good friends like that who will go to all that trouble. Same two guys have made sure I have a good supply of wood for this winter. It is not all about me I hope. I do have to say I am thankful that my friend Bev has pushed

I can turn around quickly and there is no eye rolling happening. On their part anyway. I guess what I am saying is that the idea for Thanksgiving should not be for that one day.

I can look around this little house and see some beautiful quilted work and curtains Cindy made. This unfinished put together house looks quite nice. To me anyway. I guess it comes down to living in a little village where people care for each other. I can go out for coffee at Midway, meet up with friends, then feel positive about the rest of my day. I don’t need to travel far and wide to feel complete. It is the small things that mean a lot to me. Going to the Credit
Smithers and her dad had worked in Kitimat. Small world. The clinic in Fraser Lake is as I remembered it, having visited there for my first treadmill test after heart surgery and attending many Healthy Heart workshops. Had a chance to talk to people in the waiting room waiting for their turn. Altogether a good day. Seems cauliflower is the new kale. Noted as a super food, it helps fight free radical damage to arteries, may prevent heart disease, tons of vitamin C, anti-inflammatory, good for bone health, even has fibre. I remember being on a diet using cauliflower instead of potatoes, mash it with some butter and seasoning, was supposed to taste like mashed potatoes — it didn’t but wasn’t that bad.
The Glenwood Women’s Institute is having a giant Bazaar Oct. 18 from noon until 3 at the Glenwood Hall, Telkwa High Road. This year we have invited local home-based businesses to bring their wares to sell. To name just a few: Scentsy, Steeped teas, Discovery Toys, Isagenix (health products), two tables baking and crafts from the Quick Womens Institute. A small taste of who will be there, plus with the price of entry, $5, you get a lunch and one raffle ticket for a draw on a Harvest Basket, full of home grown vegetables, canning and goodies. This is the best value for your dollars and a chance to start that Christmas shopping! Seen at the post office: outside, all lined up looking
through one of the windows, five little people, all about the same size, perhaps four-yearsold. Sure cute. Also, all the gentlemen who are quick to hold the door open. Thank you so much, truly appreciate this act of politeness and manners. I moaned that a project was just too big to accomplish. A fellow asked me “Lorraine, can you eat an elephant?” I immediately saw this huge grey beast and was doubtful to say the least. He said “Yes you can, one bite at a time!” I always see that huge grey beast but know I can.

Access Smithers making it easier to get around town By Chris Gareau Smithers/Interior News
A community group in Smithers is doing its best to make life getting around town easier for as many people as possible. “Our goal is to work with a variety of different organizations and entities in the community to raise the awareness and commitment to apply the principles of accessibility in Smithers,” said board member Glenys SnowDymond, putting what Access Smithers does in a nutshell. When one breaks open that nut, they find a wide variety of things getting done by the group and its partners. Some measures may seem simple, but they make a world of difference to those they affect. Access Smithers had a hand in curb cuts that allow scooters and wheelchairs to more easily navigate sidewalks and street crossing. Another job done in the last few years was the town putting in audio signals at crosswalks, when the group was part of a town council committee that was investing money from the province’s Measuring Up program, a legacy of the 2010 Vancouver Paralympic Games. Other efforts include easier to reach buttons to open the doors at the Bulkley Valley Pool. SnowDymond is a polio survivor who is also an accessibility specialist with Spinal Cord Injury BC. Now using a cane to walk about town, SnowDymond said Access Smithers deals with much more than helping those with mobility issues., which is not to say they do not make a point of leaving notices on windshields of vehicles parked in handicap parking spots. “Recognizing all abilities with

disabilities; so the multi-cultural community, persons with literacy challenges, the vision impaired community, and hearing impaired, and mobility impaired, and anything else in between. When I go onto a project, I believe everyone has the right of access. I know that obstacles are very difficult. The greatest obstacle is attitudes. And if you have attitudes that are embracing, then all obstacles can be overcome,” said SnowDymond. “If we can empower the people
at the very edges, and have them to see themselves as equal, then we’ve actually done what the goal was.” The provincial government recently announced its goal to become the most progressively accessible province in Canada by 2024. “All the access community committees all over the place are now validated again. We don’t have any money; we’re not a committee in council; we’re not a non-profit society. We’re a volunteer group of people

who believe in the concepts of social equality,” said chairperson Carmen Nikal. A project the group hopes to get funding for is make the marshland off Pacific Street on the Perimeter Trail an accessible feature to locals and tourists. Access Smithers is looking for more members and partners to make their goals a reality. They meet the first Thursday of every month at the town hall from 12:30-2:30 p.m.

KEEPING AN EYE ON THE PRIZE Kohen Sanborn, 3, has his eye on the sweets offered at the Smithers Farmers’ Market as his dad Mike keeps an eye on him. The market has moved indoors as the leaves turn in northern B.C. It is open at the curling rink every Saturday from 9 a.m. to noon until Dec. 20. The market is then open every second Saturday from January through April before getting back outdoors.

Joyce and Rene say we can stand behind our beef quality because we follow a consistent genetic selection, feeding and health program that starts from day one and continues to slaughter and therefore can provide a most delicious consistent, tender beef eating experience.
Thompson Creek The Dielemans are a third generation family-operated Bulkley Valley Cattle Ranch located 26km east of Telkwa at the bottom of Hungry Hill. Cattle ranching at the base of Grouse Mountain has been their way of life for three generations. In the summer the cattle herds are either are up on Grouse Mountain or in the high country of the Poplar Lake range unit. This Ranch combines new technology with old and still relies on horses, cowboys and cowgirls to make pasture moves and fall gather. The fall roundup takes 2 to 3 weeks of gathering, trailing, sorting, and trucking them back to the home ranch and hay barns for the winter-feeding programs.
Every time you make a purchase from us, you should get the same consistent healthy product from each young animal that we raise for slaughter. Look for it by name at the Sausage Factory, contact us at the Ranch for side orders or Chefs, grocers and camps check out bcbeefnet.ca
Their cattle herd is raised in a very healthy and natural environment in harmony with their environmental farm plan and are Certified B.C.

COPS FOR CANCER CAUSE PULLS AT THE HEARTSTRINGS Smithers RCMP Cst. Jennifer McCreesh (centre) receives a donation from Heartstrings owners Tim and Sherri Matthews. McCreesh was at the Smithers store Saturday afternoon to share tales of her Cops for Cancer bike ride and to show off her new, shorter hairdo. She got the haircut during a stop in Smithers during the trip as part of the fundraiser. The Cops for Cancer charity took riders from Prince George to Prince Rupert this year. The effort raises money for pediatric cancer patients and research. A fundraising raffle was also held at Heartstrings Saturday. Rosemary Mckenzie was the big winner of the draw. Chris Gareau photo

Zombie Walk 2014

6X6 Auction fundraiser at Smithers Art Gallery The Smithers Art Gallery’s 6x6 Auction is back by popular demand for its third time! This is a fun and exciting community art event and a major fundraiser for the gallery. Up for auction is an amazing variety of 6”x6”-sized artwork created by Bulkley Valley (and beyond) community members, from well-known local artists to a variety of hidden talents waiting to be discovered. All pieces are signed on the back only, the auction is anonymous with the artists only being revealed to the winning bidders after the hammer falls, and this year we have added a fun theme — “song titles” — for people to use as inspiration for their artwork. To date over 300 blank panels have been sold, so this is on course to be another great community event! Blank 6”x6” panels are still available at the gallery for just $3 (while stocks last) and there is just one week to go for people to get their artwork in before the deadline of 4 p.m. on Oct. 15. All the beautiful community artwork will be exhibited at the gallery for bidding by silent auction from Oct. 21-24. Bidding begins at noon Tuesday and bidding tickets
are free! The Wine & Cheese Gala Evening at the gallery on Friday, Oct. 24, 7-9.30 p.m., marks the grand finale of the 6x6 Auction, with frantic final bidding closing at 9 p.m.! Admission is $10 which includes a free glass of wine or craft beer, fine cheeses donated by BV Wholesale, door-prize gift bags of art materials donated by Opus Art Supplies and a free bidding ticket! Tickets at the door. Any artwork which remains unsold after the auction can be purchased for a $10 flat fee on Saturday, Oct. 25 from 10 a.m.-1 p.m. All proceeds from the auction will go towards funding the gallery’s operations and educational programming. The gallery is a non-profit organisation run almost entirely by volunteers and depends on grants, fundraising, and revenues from commission on art sales to operate. Exhibition & bidding dates: Tuesday, Oct. 21 to Friday, Oct. 24 Wine & Cheese Gala Evening: Friday, Oct. 26, 7-9:30 p.m.

Youth heads to parliament By Alicia Bridges Hazelton/Interior News
A future in politics could be on the horizon for Hazelton Secondary School student Connor Coukell, who has been nominated to sit at the annual British Columbia Youth Parliament in Victoria in December. The Grade 12 student was approached by the District of New Hazelton after last Tuesday’s council meeting, where it was decided the district would sponsor a local student to take part. The Youth Parliament program, which invites young people to participate in the December parliamentary session, will not be Coukell’s first experience with Canadian politics. He travelled to Ottawa as part of another program for high school students, the Forum for Young Canadians, which is a
similar program at a federal level. Coukell said his interest in politics had grown since his visit to Ottawa. “That was kind of my gateway,” said Coukell. “I’d been interested in it because I am very eloquent with words and I take a good interest in people.” Although Coukell is planning to study speech pathology, he said taking part in programs like the Forum, and now the Youth Parliament, had planted the idea of a political career firmly in the back of his mind. “It’s always been something that I’ve had an interest in but didn’t really want to pursue but now, with these opportunities that have kind of presented themselves, I have taken it into consideration for sure, seriously that I could do this and pursue it as a career,” he said. Coukell said education was
A
the issue he was most passionate about on a provincial level. “It’s depressing really that we couldn’t have sorted it out the [B.C. Teachers’ Federation vs. B.C. government dispute] sooner because it went on for months,” he said. After the youth parliament in December, students in the program will be asked to develop community service projects in their hometowns. District of New Hazelton chief administrative officer Wendy Hunt said council had sponsored Coukell because they wanted to give a local student the chance to see how parliament works. “There’s not that many chances for kids from the north to get to do things like this so as a council they think it’s really important to give young adults a chance to experience that kind of a life,” said Hunt.

Our mother, grandmother, great grandmother left us peacefully on Sept. 30, 2014 in the Acropolis Manor in Prince Rupert, B.C. at the age of 94, with her son Lawrence and Lorie by her side. Jean and her twin sister Margaret were born on July 29, 1920 in the old Smithers town hall. She grew up on the Gregerson family farm in Evelyn and attended the one room school in that community. During the years before she married, she worked on the Low farm in Walcott and in the home of Dr. Green in Smithers. Mum married Reginald Heal on Sept. 8, 1943 in the old United Church in Smithers. They lived on the Ernie Heal farm until 1956 when they moved to Smithers into their home on 1st Ave. Mum was a very dedicated family person. She always remembered birthdays and loved spending time with all her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. Mum also kept track of relations in England and the States. She enjoyed gardening, knitting and sewing and was a Brownie leader for a number of years in both Telkwa and Smithers. Mum greatly valued her membership in the Royal Purple – her “ladies” were very special to her. She would even plan her holidays around their meetings. The Arthritis Society was also very important to her as well as the time she spent with the Seniors Centre. Jean is predeceased by her husband Reg Heal, twin sister Margaret, her brother Ted, parents Mary and Gilbert Gregerson and daughter-in-law Lenore. She has left behind her loving family; her son Lawrence Heal in Prince Rupert, B.C.; daughter Barbara (Brian) Hurstfield in Sorrento, B.C.; grandchildren Shani (Arnie) Parnell, Jordan Heal, Cynthia (Vance) Finch, Sonja (Ben) Thomas and Fiona (Andy) Warren; great grandchildren Cora, Caroline, Brett, Kassandra, Danielle, Myles, Brody, Madison, Rafe and Alexa along with a few cousins, nieces and nephews. Our family would like to thank the staff of the Acropolis Manor in Prince Rupert for the care and compassion given to our mother during her stay with them. It is very much appreciated by the all of the family. A Celebration of Life for Jean will be held at Easter in Smithers.

Hazelton student on way to Victoria in December From PARLIAMENT on B1 She said Coukell was chosen because he had shown an interest in politics through his involvement with Forum for Young Canadians. “When I phoned the school to ask about it Connor had heard about it already and had gone and asked about it so it turned out to be a perfect kind of a fit,” said Hunt. “I think Connor will be an excellent choice and a really good ambassador for New Hazelton.” Coukell also worked for the District of New Hazelton at the Hazelton Visitor Centre during the summer. Hazelton Secondary School career counsellor Andy deBoer said it was important that the community and the school tried to match students with relevant interests to the programs that became available. “There’s all sorts of different things that youth can do and the more of these things that we can tap into the richer a person’s experience at school is,” said deBoer.
“It’s unrealistic that each student at our school would get to do something like this, but as many of them as possible is [because] if we miss
something, then it’s not as good.” The Youth Parliament takes place Dec. 27-31. Membership applications for youth
aged 16-21 who wish to participate are available at bcyp.org. The deadline to apply is at the end of the month on Oct. 29.

Coastal GasLink Pipeline Project
The LNG Conversation CanSkate teaches children ages four to 12 how to master control, balance and agility on ice.
Alicia Bridges photo
CanSkate kicks off By Alicia Bridges Hazelton/Interior News
Helping beginner skaters master control, balance and agility on the ice is the focus of a learn-to-skate program which started in the Hazeltons last week. CanSkate, part of the nation-wide Skate Canada program, helps beginners find their feet and teaches skaters with basic skills how to improve. The Hazeltons
program is open to children aged four to 12. Hazelton-based Skate Canada coach Stacey Brown said CanSkate was not just for small children who don’t know how to skate. “A kid could come to us at 10 years-old not knowing how to skate at all and we would help them out,” said Brown. “The CanSkate is a learn to skate program. It’s meant for kids either going
into hockey, figure skating or ringette. “There’s a lot of NHL players who started off with CanSkate.” About 30 children were part of last year’s program in the Hazeltons, where skaters progress through six stages. CanSkate taught children everything from how to get up after falling down to backwards crossovers, spins and jumps.
What is LNG? Why are people talking about natural gas pipelines? Please join us for an up-close look at liquefied natural gas (LNG), and a live demonstration of its physical properties and behaviours using real LNG! The presentation will explain why and how LNG is produced, transported and used. We will also provide an overview of natural gas transportation to the LNG facility and TransCanada’s Coastal GasLink pipeline project. When: Tuesday October 21, 4:30 – 7:30pm Where: Smithers, Hudson Bay Lodge, Summit Room, 3251 Highway 16 East Presentations will begin at 5pm followed by a Q&A period. Light dinner and refreshments provided. For more information contact us at coastalgaslink@transcanada.com www.coastalgaslink.com

The Hazelton Farmers’ Market continued to grow in 2014, with more vendors signing up to sell hand-raised, locally-grown and home-baked goods at the weekly event. Organizer Jonathan Knight said despite lower tourist numbers, local crowds at the weekly market were big enough to attract more sellers. “We are definitely a market that focuses on our community and the people who live here,” said Knight. “The tourist traffic is sort of the icing on the cake. “In terms of our friends and neighbours it’s definitely been growing every year, this year included.” With another successful season completed, Knight said organizers would use the winter to plan for the 2015 season. He said the current format and
location was working so there were no plans to make changes. However, he noted the market was always looking for new vendors. “The more food vendors we can make it worth their while then the more food they are producing locally which is ultimately a great thing,” said Knight. “It’s really not just about farmers but it’s about craft industry in general and really helping to boost the local regional small-scale economy for the ground up.” Knight added that all of the vendors must fit the criteria for a farmers’ market, which means their goods must be locally made, baked or grown. “It’s not a flea market, no one is buying produce from the grocery store which they are turning around and selling,” he said. The last market for 2014 was held at the Hazelton Area Visitor Centre on Sunday, Sept. 28.

Red Apple store manager Darrel Shore at the shop’s bigger new location in New Hazelton.

Red Apple begins relocation By Alicia Bridges Hazelton/Interior News
The Red Apple store in New Hazelton has hired four new staff in preparation for its relocation to a bigger building in November. The budget department store, which is one of 165 in the franchise, is moving from its location on Highway 16 to a bigger space in the same lot. Red Apple store manager Darrel Shore said the current building is too cramped. “We were just too crowded in our store and wanted
to have a store that was accessible to everyone,” said Shore. “In our current store if you have a baby carriage or you have mobility issues it became very hard to shop the store.” Four part-time cashier-merchandisers were hired before Red Apple took over the building, leased through Bulkley Valley Development, on Oct. 1. Built in 1988, the space was originally home to the Copperside Foods grocery store, which occupied the space for more than 10 years. Although some new stock will be introduced at the new
location, Shore said the primary reason for moving was to give Red Apple space to arrange its current inventory. He said nine pallets of new fixtures had been shipped to New Hazelton in preparation for the move. “It’s a big upgrade for us and the community,” he said. “As soon as they found out about it they were excited. We’ve got a lot of support from the community here.” Red Apple will be closed on Nov. 2 before reopening in its new location on Nov. 3. A grand opening will be held on Nov. 7.
Skaters focus on three areas From CANSKATE on A7 “The three big areas we try to address are kids being able to control themselves on skates, have really good balance on one foot or two feet and agility ... and change quickly from forward edges to backward edges on either feet,” said Brown. In November, some of the older CanSkate participants will have a chance to test their skills in competitions at the Smithers Jamboree. Even for children who don’t intend to progress into competitive sports, Brown said the program provided a skill for life. “There’s not a lot, necessarily,
that we have facilities to do in Hazeltons,” she said. “The ice rink is something that we have so it’s really important to me that we use this local facility and our local coaches that we have. “Then kids can have a lifetime of fun skating either at the rink or out on the ice at the lakes.” A pair of skates and an ice hockey helmet is the only equipment needed for the program. CanSkate runs at the Hazelton ice arena from 5:15 p.m. to 6 p.m. on Tuesday and Friday. Established skaters can also register for the more advanced Starskate program. For more information visit the Hazelton Hockey Club Facebook page.
No university in Canada has a history like UNBC’s. Imagine 16,000 people calling on government to create a northern university. It happened here. Before UNBC was a university, it was a social movement that instilled a strong sense of ownership, purpose, and adventure in the region, which carries over to our students today. When Peter and Mary Stroet of Smithers supported UNBC in the 1980s, they had no idea their son Allan would one day be a graduate, that he’d meet his future wife there, or that their granddaughter might one day be a graduate herself.
