The Ranger Park preschool program will keep running for the foreseeable future after Smithers town council last Tuesday reversed a decision to close it on Jan. 1. The decision to keep the program was unanimous after a petition was signed by 563 people in the three weeks after the closure was made public. The original decision was made behind closed doors at an in camera meeting with the reasoning that because town employees would be let go, it could not be made public. Councillors for and
against the closure suggested the subsidizing of programs should be an election issue before the closure was reversed. An in-depth analysis of the preschool program over the past five years was prepared, comparing it to minor hockey. Declining enrollment and rising costs of the preschool led to the original closure decision. The estimated net loss of the program will be more than budgeted at $30,000 according to the report. The estimated net cost per registrant listed was $171, compared to $79 per registrant five years ago. See CHANGE on A2
It is rezoning redux for the Bulkley Valley Child Development Centre. Perhaps a sign that Halloween is approaching, the CDC rezoning issue in acquiring the vacant Smithers Christian Reformed Church property and building at 1471 Columbia Drive has risen again. Councillors at last Tuesday’s town meeting expressed the belief that most neighbours did not have a problem with the CDC moving in. The concern voiced by petitioners from the neighbourhood is to do with what would happen if the CDC needed to sell the property, specifically, who they would be able to sell it to. Another public hearing to rezone the property from its current P3

status that limits it to places of worship is scheduled for Nov. 10’s council meeting. The CDC could not secure financing for $600,000 in renovations with a prior rezoning attempt that included a covenent. “It’s only going to get more personal and it’s going to get sour,” said Coun. Charlie Northrup about bringing the issue back to public hearing. “I think you’ll find the public is prepared to show some patience with the CDC and trust that they will not create any serious problems for the neighbourhood,” said Coun. Bill Goodacre. “This is the hardest decision I’ve had to make in three years... we really want to make things happen for the CDC and at that location, but it comes down to what is our job as local government: making longterm decisions,” said Mayor Taylor Bachrach at the meeting.

Telkwa receives $100,000 for recreational upgrades
From RANGER on Front The net recovery rate of the preschool program has decreased from 71 per cent to 64 per cent. The arena’s recovery rate has been increasing, but is only at 66 per cent. The estimated net cost for minor hockey is $180 per registrant. The report does note that the comparison is difficult since the arena is used by many more users than hockey registrants. “If the numbers were down for minor hockey, would you consider closing the arena? Of course not, that’s absurd. Yet you will consider closing down an educational program that loses far less money,” petitioner and delegate Charla Kilback told council Tuesday before the reversal. “Why give up on 30 years of success?” Coun. Mark Bandstra was one of the councillors who changed his mind on the closure. “We’re not questioning the quality of the program, we’re questioning how we use our resources,” said Bandstra.

Telkwa is getting a boost from the regional district to complete muchneeded upgrades to some of the village’s most-used recreational sites. The Regional District of Bulkley-Nechako has designated $100,000 from its annual gas tax fund to go toward recreational projects such as the Dockrill Memorial Rink and the baseball diamonds at the Telkwa Barbecue Grounds. “We built a portable skateboard park that we put in the Dockrill rink and a lot of the kids in the regional district and the area use it. It was really well-used all summer,” said Mayor Carman Graf. “It’s not just for the village, but it will also benefit
people in the regional district.” According to Graf, some of the funds will be used to replace the boards at the rink along with other maintenance issues. He also speculated they might be able to add a few ramps to the portable skate park. The rest of the funding will be used to improve the baseball diamonds. Both recreational sites are heavily used, but haven’t received upgrades in quite a few years. “Not since I’ve been mayor — we haven’t had any money for recreation from the regional district for the Village of Telkwa,” said Graf, noting that they did receive funding for upgrades to the Telkwa Seniors Centre. “The rink was busy from daylight to dark all summer. Depending on the winter,
that rink will now be used pretty well 12 months of the year. Where before it was just used in the wintertime,” said Graf. Stoney Stoltenberg, director with the district, said he hopes the extra cash will help the village get more grants from other government agencies. “The idea was that if I gave them money to get them started that they could use it for leverage,” said Stoltenberg. “This will give them money to get started. They can use it as seed money to get more grants which enable them to do even more work.” Stoltenberg said Electoral District A or Smithers Rural gets roughly $270,000 a year from gas tax money, adding that the new director elected Nov. 15 will have to decide where the remainder of the money gets allocated.

N EWS Hudson Bay Mtn takes “drastic measures” to boost visits By Chris Gareau Smithers/Interior News
It is going to cost less to ride the powder at Hudson Bay Mountain Resort this winter. An aggressive marketing campaign coinciding with the arrival of new general manager Dikran Zabunyan means increased family discounts now requiring just one adult and one child, and an extension of Grizzly Growler prices to Nov. 7. “Now we have the biggest savings discount in northern B.C.,” said financial controller Michael Huffman. Changes came after focus groups held in
town. “We listened and we have taken some drastic measures to make sure they’re appreciated and we are viable,” said Zabunyan, who is travelling north B.C., the Yukon and Alberta to promote the resort. “The ski mountain is a big part of the community, and I know that the people I spoke with want it to succeed.” The ski and snowboard destination overlooking the town of Smithers also gave itself a face-lift over the summer break, adding six new features to the terrain park. A racing platform and lift hut is being built at the top of the Panorama T-bar. “It’s being built for progression, so riders

N EWS Off-leash dog park approved By Chris Gareau Smithers/Interior News
An off-leash dog park inside Heritage Park has been approved by Smithers town council on the condition that it be at no cost to the town. The park will be located at the corner of Highway 16 and Manitoba Street, with access off Manitoba. The location was one of seven proposed sites. The motion to approve the Heritage Park option passed unanimously at last Tuesday’s council meeting. “The tiny little run that they have in Houston attracts an enormous amount of RV traffic for people who just want to stop their RV and get their dog out and stretch its legs; so having it visible on the highway is probably not a bad thing,” said Coun. Phil Brienesse at the meeting. Future plans for water features to quench the thirst of man and beast can be accomplished by accessing the existing waterline running through the park at an estimated cost of $9,300. But the first step is to fence in the area between the playground and skatepark already in the park. Jesse Taggart is excited about the location. She has been advocating for an off-leash park for the last two years, first approaching town council with This week’s feature:

NW missing a powerful collective industry voice
I
have a question that has been percolating in my mind for the past five years and I’d like to share it: Where is the collective tourism industry voice of northwest B.C.? Such a voice is composed of municipal, regional, First Nation tourism organizations, front-country tourism operators, mid- and backcountry tourism operators, and independent public tourism such as clubs. If all these people pooled even a portion of their knowledge, expertise and resources together into a collective tourism entity, I think that the tourism industry of northwest B.C. would have a more powerful economic voice than it does at present. I’d like to specifically highlight the participation of Crown land-based tourism operators like fish and hunt camp outfitters, heliski, catski and helifishing businesses, wildlife viewing, horse trail riding, mountain biking, snowmobiling, quading, river rafting, cultural experience businesses. Many if not most of these businesses operate on Crown land and are part of a group referred to as adventure tourism or commercial recreation. The last time I looked, the province of B.C. still has the most Crown land of all the provinces in Canada at around 94 per cent. B.C. Crown land is land or land covered by water — like rivers, lakes — that is owned by the citizens of B.C.; the provincial government handles the disposition, administration and management of Crown land. With such a large diverse group spread over such a large land base, some people may say that cooperation or agreement is impossible; and that some businesses are mutually exclusive — like hunting and wildlife viewing. This may be true in very specific locations and situations; however, with communication ground rules and an over-arching vision of growing tourism in northwest B.C. that sustains livelihoods and lifestyles, a collective tourism entity could have a strong and positive economic voice and affect in northwest B.C. I know this is possible from my own personal experience on a local scale. My experience with tourism on Crown land has shown me that the fundamental product being sold is an experience. An experiential tourism industry requires environmental health, wellness and resiliency in perpetuity. With experiential tourism or tourism in general, the environmental health of northwest B.C. in many ways ensures the economic health of the region. If anyone is interested in pursuing this topic and discussion of a collective tourism entity in northwest B.C. to see where it can lead, feel free to contact me. Danelle Harris worked as a land inspector, land officer, and adventure tourism manager in northwest B.C. in the government from 2001 to 2010.
Flu vaccine Q&A
What is seasonal influenza (flu)? Seasonal influenza, commonly called “the flu,” is an infection caused by the influenza virus, which affects the nose, throat and lungs. Other viruses, such as the common cold, can also affect the upper respiratory tract but, unlike influenza, often do not cause severe and life threatening complications like hospitalizations, pneumonia, bronchitis, and death. Some people are more at-risk for influenza complications, such as people with certain health conditions, young children, pregnant women, and people over the age of 65. Why should people get vaccinated against the flu? Healthy people can get the flu and spread it to others. Even if you do not get sick, you can still spread influenza to those who are more at-risk for complications from the flu virus. Immunizations are safe and effective and are one of the
best ways to help protect you from illness and reduce the spread of infectious diseases to others. Immunizations are safe, effective, and one of the best ways to help protect you from illness and reduce the spread of infectious diseases to others. How do flu vaccines work? The flu vaccine causes antibodies to develop in the body about two weeks after being immunized. These antibodies help your immune system to detect the flu virus and fight it off if you become exposed. The seasonal flu vaccine protects against viruses that research indicates will be the most common during flu season. Typically, flu vaccines protect against three different influenza strains and immunity against those strains lasts approximately six months. If you are exposed to a strain that is not contained in the vaccine, your illness will likely be less severe. What are the side effects
from the flu vaccine? There are different types of influenza immunizations which cause slightly different side effects: The flu shot: - soreness, redness, or swelling a the injection site - low-grade fever - aches The nasal spray: - runny nose - wheezing - headache - vomiting - muscle aches - fever - sore throat - cough Can the flu vaccine give me the flu? No. Flu vaccines either contain no flu virus, or viruses that have been inactivated or attenuated (weakened) which means the virus cannot replicate in your system and give you the flu. However, people commonly feel mild flu-like symptoms such as fever, aches, and chills for 24-48 hours after their immunization as their

L ETTERS Trustees drive agenda
Editor: Thank-you for this opportunity to discuss some of the points you made in your editorial “A sad state of democracy.” In the editorial you seemed to imply that school boards are useless and “less democracy is almost almost always the wrong way to go, but with school boards, there is not much democracy lost.” I take exception to that viewpoint because in order to have a truly public school system one has to have the public be the final say in major decisions that are made. In the public school system, the public has the say in elections, in voting for their fellow community members who will speak out, consult, scrutinize, critique and vote on any matters that demand public input. At School District 54 this occurs constantly, much of which is not readily covered in the media. Moreover, you mentioned “District-specific ideas like the proposed multiplex in Smithers are mostly costed and conceptualized by the administration.” That is not entirely true. An initial idea such as a multiplex can be originated by any source, even administration. However, the board of trustees is always providing feedback and questions the concept and the possibilities. Additionally, costing and conceptualization is made by experts who do that for a living. At the end of the day, the board is in the process and garnering information from all sides in order to make recommendations and offer a final say, on behalf of the public. You also state that “The best way to be engage with what schools and school districts are doing is to show up at meetings, where the superintendent and the other administration usually run the show to explain the goings on.” That is partially true. I certainly encourage the general public to visit a school district board meeting or commit-
tee meeting. However, one must understand that the superintendent and administration are vital at board meetings in order to provide technical insight which trustees decipher and offer feedback. Moreover committee members and chairs drive the agenda by driving the questioning and examining of the vision of the district. That is not entirely different from a municipal council who are taking zoning recommendations from administrative staff. In final, I would invite you and anyone from your paper, or any other media, or citizens, to ask myself, fellow trustees or trustee candidates their vision and understanding of the role of trustees in this district. I welcome this discussion and engagement.

destination. The province now proposes to overhaul the B.C. Society Act and spend their time (instead of on the horrendous laundering problems) using millions of our tax dollars, looking into 27,000 B.C. registered societies who may or may not be working “in the public interest,” which is not defined. Included in the societies are environmental groups, which I have found to be working “in the public interest” to halt further climate change. The U.N. and climate scientists around the world deem it urgent to halt the rapid increase in fossil fuel use if this planet is to have a future that includes mankind. The amendments proposed by the province could be used
to harass small groups that have very little funding and no lawyers. I see this move by the province as “working for corporate interests” as always with our tax dollars. Our provincial debt is $68 billion. The present provincial government will owe the LNG industry gas producers over a billion dollars in credits by year end while our public services continue to deteriorate. I am losing my patience as a taxpayer with paying the bills for the fossil fuel industry. Our federal government gives the fossil fuel industry well over $20 billion in tax exemptions yearly. The jobs are specialized, we won’t be getting them and we will be buying the jobs we do get through our taxes. Exactly how is this “in the public interest?” If our provincial and federal governments were not working “in the corporate interest of the fossil fuel industries” we would be well underway with geothermal energy. B.C. alone has 170 hot springs and according to

the experts, “lots of low hanging fruit” which we could begin to develop inexpensively. How about jobs in retrofitting homes? How about solar and wind energy? Norway and Germany are so far ahead of us we look pathetic and they are not suffering folks! We deserve to have our tax dollars working toward “the public interest.” Now is not the time for despair. Take action, however small it may be. Find the petition to Help Save Our North Coast From Bulk Oil Tankers and sign it. Talk about it with friends and ask them to keep the jobs here in Canada. Tell them the Hecate Strait is the fourth most dangerous body of water in the world. Each act will lend a hand toward the goal of helping our kids have a future. Protect the fragility of the earth. Think what is right here. And work “in the public interest” knowing most of your fellow citizens are with you!

Fouling the nest Editor: Last week’s letter “Rednecks need to vote out council” merits more than one comment. Here is mine: “That fouling one’s own nest should require such an amount of feces is remarkable.”

Businesses diverting Editor: On “Rednecks need to vote out council”: I believe his comments were worth some concern about where Smithers seems to be heading. I hear quite a bit about local businesses diverting to Terrace and Kitimat, partly because of poor interest in our town council. I think there should be more effort by town council involved. But one thing we do have is the largest woodshed in B.C.

N EWS Bulkley Valley school trustees vie for votes
By Chris Gareau
Smithers/Interior News
On Nov. 15, seven school trustees representing four zones will be elected to sit on the Bulkley Valley School District 54 board. Incumbent Priscilla Michell is acclaimed as the trustee for zone one (Lake Kathlyn/ Evelyn/Moricetown). Board chair Les Kearns and Jennifer Williams are acclaimed as the two trustees for zone four (Houston). Zone two (Smithers/Glentanna/Driftwood) will see three trustees elected from the four candidates. Voters in zone three (Telkwa/Quick) will choose one trustee from the two candidates. Trustees up for election have been asked to make their case to voters. A moderated public forum will be held on Monday, Oct. 27 at the school district office in Smithers.
Zone three (Telkwa/Quick)
The Interior News
Wednesday, October 22, 2014
Bille Jean Beaubien A friend encouraged Beaubien to run. “I have children in the public school system and I have spent the last three years with a position on the Parent Advisory Counsel at Walnut Park... I think being a school trustee is a good way to bridge the gap between parents, students, and teachers,” said Beaubien. The candidate sees herself supporting current initiatives the next four years. “I am sure down the road there will be things that I will get to be involved with in the dreaming process,” said Beaubien, adding that she would add new perspective to the board. Judy McIntosh The 12-year incumbent has seen what she describes as tremendous political things provincially, adding school boards have become more streamlined. “We’re developing policy, managing the district finance, and supporting risk taking for our district; risk taking in a good way. We’re not trying to create new ways of doing things, we’re trying to create things doing them the Bulkley Valley way,” said McIntosh, who added that way is personable.
McIntosh wants to build on what the district has done. “My job is to support the superintendent who in turn can support all the staff in the district... It’s not about micro managing, it’s about keeping the big picture,” said McIntosh, adding a Telkwa trustee has to keep the entire district in mind.
Zone two (Smithers/Glentanna/Driftwood)
Lara Collingwood The incumbent believes the board was successful in creating more dialogue with the community through regular education forums on different topics every month. “Great connections were made and maintained between Northwest Community College, and the Town of Smithers. This increases options, choice, and opportunities for high school students for trades and athletics,” said Collingwood, adding she wants to work on making the proposed multiplex a reality and create more opportunities for sports and physical activity for students. Roxy Hirshfield The self-described working professional mother wishes to bring a positive and fresh influence, strengthening student/parent dialogue with the board through meetings like PAC. Hirshfield also wants to enhance the board’s understanding of the role technology plays in classrooms, and keep up with less remote areas. Strengthening local opportunities/needs with the interests of students can be done by diversifying elective opportunities, strengthening ties with colleges and career counseling, and closing employment gaps locally and nationally. Frank Farrell The board vice chair is vying for his third term. He pointed to board success like personalized learning, no deficit, and environmental initiatives like the award-winning boiler shared with the Village of Telkwa. Farrell wants to move the multiplex project forward. Quality in learning is important to the parent of a special needs child. “It’s important in a personal aspect for our family,” said Farrell. Dawn Hanson could not be reached by press time.

Steelheads stop River Kings comeback By Kendra Wong Smithers/Interior News
The Smithers Steelheads defeated the Terrace River Kings 5-3 as tensions ran high between the rivals in the team’s home opener last weekend. The Steelheads came out strong scoring three goals in the first. Defenceman Ian Smith, who played his first game of the season, opened the scoring at the 12 minute mark. Cole Hassel added to his point tally, scoring with a pass from Brady Taekema and Anthony Shepherd, while forward Brendan DeVries netted another just 44 seconds after at 10:02. “Everybody did really well. We got some key goals early in the game,” said head coach Tom DeVries. “They were putting the pressure on, they had a few power plays early. It was a really good game.” Smith stepped up with several big hits in the first, setting the tone early.
Tensions ran high against the Steelheads and the River Kings with a total of 68 penalty minutes handed out to the teams on Saturday.

“I was just trying to get involved and get in the play and a hit or goal gets you into the game pretty quick,” said Smith. In the second, tensions were high as a line brawl broke out in the Steelheads’ end with Randall Groot, Devon Hayhurst, and Kyle Thibeault receiving five-minute penalties and game misconducts. With a minute left in the second,
Cole Hasell received a roughing penalty resulting in a five-on-three power play for the River Kings. They capitalized with 10 seconds left on the clock with Josh Murray squeezing one past netminder David Little. In the third, the River Kings piled on two more at the 14:53 and 3:09 marks. But it was DeVries’ empty netter and third of the night

that sealed the deal. Saturday night’s hat trick was DeVries’ second in as many games. The rookie credits his success to good old fashioned luck. “Playing hard and shooting the puck when I have my chances. I have lots of good luck,” he said. In this third start, Little also had a solid performance stopping 42 of 45 shots on goal, while River Kings goaltender Patrick Leal saw less action with 26 shots. “What I’ve seen — the difference last night from the first two games, is an improvement big time. I’m impressed,” said DeVries. It was a heated game between the Northwest rivals with a total of 35 penalty minutes dolled out to the Steelheads and 33 minutes to the River Kings. But DeVries said it’s all part of the game. “There’s always [tension on the ice], but it’s a good rivalry between Smithers and Terrace,” he said. The next game is Saturday, Nov. 8 against the River Kings in Terrace.

Gryphons dominate at tournament By Kendra Wong Smithers/Interior News
The Smithers Secondary School senior boys’ volleyball team went undefeated in a tournament that gave them a chance to play their zone rivals over the weekend. The Gryphons went 4-0 at home on Saturday against zone AA and A teams. They kicked off the tournament with a win over the Prince Rupert Rainmakers 25-8 in the first set and 25-21 in the second. Stuart Van Horn, head coach of the Gryphons, said the team started off strong. “The guys played really well today. This was probably the best that they’ve played,” said Van Horn. “Right off the bat, it was our serving. We weren’t missing any serves and I think Rupert stumbled a bit in the beginning.” The team played well offensively, but also stepped up their defence.
The Gryphons went 4-0 at home on Saturday against Zone AA and A teams.

“They were blocking the big guys on the other team and when the balls did manage to come over they played good defence and were digging up the balls and making something out
of it,” he said. Co-captain Glyn Doyle said communication was the key to winning every game in straight sets. “We started off not talking much at the
beginning of the first game, but that picked up throughout the day,” said Doyle. “We were talking and that led to running more plays and hitting . . . We hit the ball hard.” The Gryphons went on to beat the Hazelton Spartans, 25-11 in the first set and 2523 in the second; they also beat the Houston Christian School 25-18 and 25-19. Before zones in November, Van Horn hopes to improve communication between team members on the court. But he is still glad the team got the win against their rival zone AA team. “[Prince Rupert] is the team we needed to see this weekend, so we have a good chance of beating them in the zones,” said Van Horn. Co-captain Matt Fowler added the team needs to practice its serving. The next zone tournament is in Terrace on Nov. 8 and will determine which team moves on to provincials.

Efforts are ramping up to prepare for the Canada Winter Games in Prince George next year and a local club is doing its part to help out on the slopes. The Smithers Ski Club has begun assembling a volunteer team to travel east to help set up courses at the Purden Ski Village in February. “We just felt that it was part of the commitment to sport and ski racing in the north to make sure we’re involved to help things run as good as they possibly could,” said Gary Huxtable, president of the Smithers Ski Club. Huxtable said eight volunteers have already come forward to dedicate their time and effort to the Games, four of whom have
extensive experience on the World Cup stage within North America. “Everybody who has signed up so far has had years of experience with that through the Smithers Ski Club and holding events on Hudson Bay Mountain,” he said. “It’s not stuff that’s new to us. We’ve just felt it’s important to make sure that we did what we could to make the Canada Winter Games events a success.” The team will spend 11 days there setting up for the alpine ski races. They will act as course crew and help set up netting, gates, flags on the gates, helping smooth starts and moving equipment around. Philippe Bernier, who worked with Alpine Canada for 10 years as the events director, has signed up to join the team. “I used to be the

Pic of the Week The Citroën C1 URBAN RIDE concept will never reach our shores even if it goes into production. But it’s always interesting to view European interpretations of city cars. The fold back top, which enables an almost convertible driving experience, is a throwback to the classic Citroen 2CVs from yesteryear. keith.morgan@drivewaybc.ca
Drives-U-Crazy Watched a car pull out of a gas station and take off in the curb lane like an F1 racer. A car planning to turn right in the second lane was signalling a move into that curb a second before the speeding car had entered the road. The speeder laid on his horn and gave the turner the finger. Technically, the speeder may have had the right to pass on the right but it was downright bad manners.

We have had a beautiful summer but you just know we are going to pay for that as fall rolls into winter. You no doubt have a trusty snow shovel but surely, it would be better to get in your truck and plow it out of the way. With a good blade, you could get that driveway cleared during the commercial break and return to watching the game. If you plan to buy a snowblade for just plowing your own driveway, a straight-blade will more than likely be just fine. Snowsport offers a personal plow that is perfect for the homeowner. This system attaches to a front mounted receiver just like a boat trailer would. The U shaped bracket is connected to the receiver and the snow blade rides up and down on these bars to allow for change in terrain your plowing. Because there no hydraulics are involved, all you do is back up and the snow blade lies back skimming over the surface. When driving forward the blade automatically re-engages for plowing. When you are finished, you lift the blade back over the push frame into the transport position. The cost of this option is $1,644. K2 is another brand of snowplow designed for the homeowner with acreage. Designed to work with a front receiver hitch, just like the Snowsport, it simply slides in the receiver and locks in place with a hitch lock. The winch is controlled from inside the cab and will raise or lower the height of the blade. The blade comes with a hardened steel cutting edge scraper, rubber snow deflector, skid shoes, and plow markers. It is available in 82”, 84”, and 88” lengths. Cost is $1,315. If you use your plow to make money, then you will want to be able to do the job quick and efficiently, so you may want to go with the multi-position. Multi-position plows are up to 50 percent faster because you can reposition the blades to all straight-blade positions in addition to the scoop and V positions. This makes the plow adaptable to nearly any job you need to do. When it comes to the composition of the blade you have the choice between steel and poly. The vast majority of snowplows on the market today come with steel blades, although the poly plows are becoming more and more popular. The reason for the growing popularity is that poly is just as strong as steel and maybe stronger. They also have a lower coefficient of friction, which saves on fuel costs and is easier on your vehicle. The poly plows are also saturated with color all the way through so nicks and scratches do not show like they do with steel, plus they do not rust. Attaching and detaching the plow is very important as well. You do not want to be freezing and trying to deal with getting a blade on and off your truck. Try the attachment system for yourself at the dealer so you can see firsthand how easy or difficult it is to use. Most snowplow makers use a single halogen light bulb, which are not bright enough; some makers have come out with dual halogen bulbs with the option of upgrading to High Intensity Discharge. These HID lights are four times brighter than standard halogen bulbs and also last ten times as long. Hydraulics is probably the most important part of the plow, along with the controls. Be sure that the hydraulics system is dependable and the controls are simple and easy to use. Go for quality rather than trying to save a buck. Remember “you get what you pay for” definitely applies here. Costs for these units are $6000 to $8000 depending on the model. When it comes to the warranty be sure to know exactly what you are getting and what the warranty covers. Some only cover parts, while others cover parts and labor. Warranties are usually either one year or two years. ian.harwood@drivewaybc.ca

Volunteers needed to help in PG From SKI CLUB on A11 “I would like to make sure that we help the volunteers and teach them how to properly run a race and hopefully there is a legacy that is built through the Games for northern B.C. so that even the Smithers Ski Club can profit from having
a great race track,” added Bernier. But they are still looking for more volunteers. “It’s a huge undertaking that Prince George has taken on and if there are people out there in the community having the time available and are willing to take the time to help
out,” said Huxtable. “We won’t see a Canada Winter Games this close to our community for some time to come and it’s important to get out there and help amateur sport as much as we possibly can.” Any interested volunteers can contact Huxtable at gary@ bvelectric.ca.

Hospital equipment renovations underway as fundraising climbs
By Chris Gareau
Smithers/Interior News
Donations are still coming in hot, pushing the fundraising total on the thermometer tracking money raised for new cardiac stress testing equipment at the Bulkley Valley District Hospital closer to the $80,000 goal. The Bulkley Valley Health Care & Hospital Foundation has passed the halfway point in its fundraising effort as of last week. The money is going towards a treadmill and diagnostic equipment. Renovations are currently underway in the connected rooms that will also house a stretcher, crash cart, laboratory, ECG testing, and IV therapy. Director of patient care and services Karen Clarke explained that three or four chairs for the IV
therapy will decrease congestion in the hospital. “They’re using space in our emergency department, and they’re not emergency patients necessarily,” said Clarke. Northern Health put $60,000 towards the renovations and moving mammography to the radiology department. “[Moving mammography to radiology] is much better for patient privacy,” said Cormac Hikisch, health service administrator for Northern Health. The stress testing equipment is being offered for the first time in the Bulkley Valley after medical staff suggested getting it with Dr. Chris Chandler, who is qualified to operate it, now in Houston. The equipment will be operating by February or March if fundraising and logistic goals are met.

Cullen seeks support for north coast tanker ban
Happy 50th Birthday Kelli October 18th
By Chris Gareau Smithers/Interior News
As a Russian cargo ship drifted powerless near Haida Gwaii Friday night, Skeena-Bulkley Valley MP Nathan Cullen was making his case in Smithers for a ban on tanker ships departing from B.C.’s north coast. “It shows that we’re not ready for much. We have a lot of shipping traffic, we have oil traffic going up the coast right now. To be so ill equipped while the federal government says we have world class response right now, puts truth to the lie,” said Cullen. While Cullen’s proposed Bill C-628 does not directly stop Skeena-Bulkley Valley MP Nathan Cullen makes his case for a ban on tankers pipelines like Enbridge’s Northern departing from B.C.’s north coast at the Old Church in Smithers Friday night.

MAYORS CHALLENGE VOTERS Smithers Mayor Taylor Bachrach and Tofino Mayor Josie Osborne challenge their communities to see who can increase voter turnout most during this November’s municipal election. “The loser will have to compose a song about the other community being a bastion of democracy,” explained Bachrach. The minstrel mayor will also have to perform their new composition with at least 20 people and chronicle the event with a video recording. Both mayors are acclaimed in their communities. The approximate turnouts in the last municipal election for Smithers was 41 per cent, and 56 per cent for Tofino, a community of nearly 2,000 on the west coast of Vancouver Island. Contributed photos

C OMMUNITY Bear trek a winding road By Chris Gareau Smithers/Interior News
The tenacity of Angelika and Peter Langen of the Northern Lights Wildlife Society, combined with help along the way, has two orphaned grizzly bear cubs safe and sound in Smithers. The call came in on Saturday that the two cubs needed to be picked up after their mother was struck by a vehicle in Canal Flats in the southeastern corner of the province. Volunteers were called in to care for the 17 black bears in care on the Thanksgiving weekend. The Langens packed up and drove through the night to make the transfer at Golden. The rescue hit a bump in the road when the

truck broke down 30 km outside Revelstoke. Dark was descending as the Langens searched desperately for a tow. After a plea for help on Facebook, BCAA called back to say they found a willing driver with Columbia Towing. Bonnie and Rob Lundberg offered a garage for the cubs and Grizzly Automotive lived up to its name with a morning repair. Shana and Cameron Bow from Kamloops offered Thanksgiving dinner to the Langens and cubs. They arrived in Smithers at 2 a.m. Tuesday. The cubs will be released and monitored in their native region as part of a pilot project between NLWS, the province, and International Fund for Animal Welfare that 15 grizzlies have entered.

Bakery brings European sweets to town By Kendra Wong Telkwa/Interior News
For Matthias Lexow, running a bakery is a true labour of love. He begins work at 2 a.m. almost every day to start kneading dough, whisking custards, stirring ganache and mixing soup stock as part of a fresh spread of pastries, bread and soups for Telkwa residents to enjoy. He works throughout the day, both at the counter and behind the scenes, serving customers and baking more pastries. Then around 8 a.m., he’ll pack up and go home and get some rest before he does the same thing over again the next day. “It’s a part of the job and I like my job,” said Lexow. “It’s routine — I start with cinnamon buns and pastries and then bread. But the morning hours are nice because there’s no interruptions, everyone is still sleeping . . . It never gets boring.” Lexow is the coowner and operator of Telkwa Baeckerei Kaffeehaus, also known as the Telkwa Bakery. The bakery is located just off Highway 16 on Madison Avenue, and

features a wide variety of freshly-baked croissants, bread, cinnamon buns, danishes, muffins, cakes sandwiches, bread, salads, soups and fair trade coffee all made from scratch daily with local ingredients and no additives. Lexow has always been a firm believer of producing quality goods from what he calls “clean” products. “The problem is today, many people have allergies and it’s caused by all these additives,” he said. “If you’re using a powdered base, there’s
so many additives in there . . . it’s always better to make everything yourself.” With treats made using less sugar

“Our products are real, real ingredients, real people. There is a lot of energy, we don’t compromise. We do our own thing and we
create something that we are happy with and our customers appreciate it,” he said. “People know us and they pre-order when they drive through. It’s nice.” Lexow has always been an avid baker. He became a pastry chef in Germany before immigrating to Canada in 1997 and even ran a series of similar bakeries, coffee houses, restaurants and health food stores in the Yukon before eventually settling in Telkwa and opening the bakery last year. “We decided to move to the Bulkley

Valley because it’s just beautiful here,” said Lexow. “I really feel comfortable here, people are very friendly and the nature is amazing. It’s a pretty special place.” Tammy Crofts has worked at the bakery for the past few months and said she loves coming in to work. “They’re super nice people to work for, very hard working. Their work ethics are amazing. If something doesn’t look quite right, they’ll make another one,” said Crofts, adding that she plans on staying a while. “When your work environment is so healthy, coming to work is a piece of cake.” Despite a craving to create the best sweets, Lexow admits he doesn’t grab a pastry when he goes home. “Because I work with sweets, I prefer savoury. So just having a simple piece of bread or cheese makes me more happy than cake,” he laughed. More than 100 votes were cast for this year’s leadership award between August and October. The bakery won by two with 31 votes. The award was established in 2011 to recognize the contribution of local businesses and business owners to the community.

Smithers film series brings variety to Roi Theatre Oct. 19 — Gloria (Chile) A raw and rich look at loneliness, love and aging. For each person who sees Gloria as someone else’s mother or co-worker, she’s quietly determined to be the centre of her own imperfect world. If the film itself doesn’t win viewers over with its refreshingly rounded story, Garcia’s offering of a vulnerable and tenacious heroine will. Nov. 2 — A Most Wanted Man (UK) Smart, subtle, and steadily absorbing, A Most Wanted Man proves once again that John le Carre books make
for sharp, thoughtful thrillers. As tense, intimate and methodical as espionage movies come, A Most Wanted Man is a contemporary tale of terrorism and intelligence gathering that is as thrilling as it is relevant Nov. 16 — Ida (Poland) Young and naive, middle-aged and cynical. An orphan raised in a convent and a chain smoking, hard-drinking judge, meet in Pawel Pawlikowski’s Ida, embarking on a road trip across the bleak terrain of 1960s Communist Poland — a road trip
at once tragic, hopeful, and unforgettable. Empathetically written, splendidly acted, and beautifully photographed. Nov. 30 — The Trip to Italy (UK) The scenery — the Amalfi coast, the vineyards of Tuscany, the streets of Rome — is sun-dappled and seductive, steeped in history and heartbreak. The food — hand-rolled pastas, seafood plucked straight from the Ligurian onto the plate — looks heavenly. And the company? Brydon and Coogan, approximating their real selves, quip, quaff, and gab about
their show-biz careers, their love lives, their middle-aged pangs of manhood. Dec. 14 — Boyhood (USA) Epic in technical scale but breathlessly intimate in narrative scope, Boyhood is a sprawling investigation of the human condition. The director has crafted what may be the most ingenious film of the century and given it a tone like no other. These films will be screened at 7:30 p.m. every second Sunday at the Roi Theatre on Fourth Avenue.

We know you because we’ve been there too. Home insurance • Car insurance • Business insurance Hazelton District Public Library assistant librarian Ruth Cooper and librarian Tara Williston will be running demonstrations on how to use the library’s e-readers, which are for loan during Canadian Library Month in October.

Library highlights free services this month By Alicia Bridges Hazelton/Interior News
October is Canadian Library Month and the Hazelton District Public Library is running a series of events to highlight some of the free services it offers to the community. The theme of the national event, which raises awareness about the valuable role that libraries play in communities, is “Libraries Connect.” Librarian Tara Williston said it was particularly relevant to the Hazeltons, where there are limited public spaces where people can gather, connect and access free services. “This is one of the only places in town where you can do that, whether you want to just come and hang out and read the newspaper and get out of the house, or whether you actually need to access information or use the computer or bring your child to a program,”
said Williston. Between Oct. 25-31 the library will be holding an Open House Week with free refreshments, library tours and demonstrations of the libraries e-readers, which are available to loan. Wordsmiths can put their vocabulary to the test with a Scrabble tournament at the library at 7 p.m. on Oct. 22. A new section for teen books will be launched with a contest and prizes. Also starting in October, there will be a program through which library members can waive their fees in exchange for a food bank donation. The latter will run into December. The existing Storytime Afternoon program for children aged three to five will continue to run between 2 p.m. and 2:45 p.m. on Wednesday afternoons. For more information, contact the library on 250-842-5961 or visit their website at www.hazelton. bclibrary.ca.
