Students in foster care eligible for full tuition waiver at UNBC Jesse Cole Caledonia Courier

Students who are currently or used to be in the care of a government agency will be eligible to attend university for free after the University of Northern British Columbia (UNBC) announced its plans to offer a full tuition waiver. The waiver, aptly titled, Youth in Care Tuition Waiver, will pay the entire cost of tuition for an undergraduate degree or certificate for a student who has spent time in care under British Columbia’s Child, Family and Community Services Act. The tuition waiver would only apply to those seeking their first degree or certificate. The waiver comes in the aftermath of a challenge posed in 2013 by British Columbia Representative for Children and Youth Mary Ellen Turpel-Lafond. Turpel-Lafond challenged all British Columbia’s post-secondary institutions to waive tuition for youth in care. The proposal to waive tuition for youth in care was propagated by Social Work Professor Glen Schmidt of UNBC who said in a press release, Continued on P. 2

All candidates forum meeting packs Music Makers Hall Jesse Cole Caledonia Courier

All the seats were filled for the all candidates forum last Thursday, Nov. 6 in Fort St. James. The forum was held at Music Makers Hall in downtown Fort St. James from 7 p.m. until 9 p.m. and was co-sponsored by the local members of the B.C. Northern Real Estate Board and the Fort St. James Chamber of Commerce. Chairman of the Chamber of Commerce moderated the forum. All the candidates running for municipal council attended the forum as did candidates for the electoral area 6 position of School Board Trustee. Candidates began the forum with an opportunity to present their platform and qualifications via a two-minute speech before moving into a question and answer period. Candidate Russel Gingrich was the first to speak followed by Dave Birdi, Brenda Gouglas, Kris Nielsen and Brad Miller. Each candidate spoke on their prior experience within municipal council and other volunteer organizations with the exception of Miller who has no prior experience on council. Miller did outline his plans to take on road reforms and his dedication to “give back to the community” in

his speech. During the question and answer period candidates were asked things running the gamut from drug and alcohol abuse to municipal road repairs and even questions about the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. The first question asked of candidates revolved around drug abuse, particularly among the youth population of the region, and how candidates would address these issues. Candidate Gingrich offered “peer pressure and guidance to those individuals with problems” as well as rehabilitation programs put in place in the area could help to solve those problems. Candidate Birdi said that keeping people active and engaged was a better method to keep them away from substance abuse and conceded that it was not an easy topic to address but that providing services for addicts was important. Candidate Gouglas echoed Birdi’s sentiments saying services for addicts need to be provided within the Fort St. James community rather than Prince George. Candidates Nielsen and Miller both agreed with the idea of bringing services to address addiction directly into Fort St. James with Nielsen adding that focusing on the transition back into the community from care should be paramount

and Miller saying that an increased level of sports and youth programs would be beneficial. Despite all agreeing on some form of substance abuse facility in Fort St. James, no candidate gave any specifics on just how they would pay for, implement or organize such a facility within the town. Moving towards local industry, the question was asked of candidates how they would bring money back into the community citing the fact that numerous outside businesses are profiting from resource development in Fort St. James while the local businesses are not. Candidate Miller suggested that local businesses and major companies work together to give back to the community in ways such as a jointmaintenance strategy of the North Road which Miller said is primarily used by industry vehicles and should be a responsibility of theirs. Candidate Gingrich addressed the question with a level of realism stating that while it’s an important issue, there are no easy answers. Gingrich said that his past terms have involved trying to figure out a solution to the problem but that industry remains resistant to commitment. He said if elected he would try to work on “fair share” agreements with the province. Continued on P. 2

Voting for School Board Trustee for electoral area 6, which encompasses Fort St. James, Manson Creek, Germanson and Takla Landings will take place on Nov. 15 with voting stations available at the Fort St. James District Office, Kwah Hall on Nak’azdli Reserve and Germanson Mercantile in Germanson Landing.

JESSE COLE Caledonia Courier

More than just council candidates came out to participate in the all candidates forum last week as school board trustee candidates Lucille Duncan and Alexandra Luggi both made appearances to appeal for the towns vote. Taking place at Music Makers Hall in downtown Fort St. James, Luggi and Duncan both outlined their platforms with introductory two-minute speeches followed by taking part in the question and answer period along with the candidates running for municipal council. Luggi, who hails from Nak’azdli First Nation, and Duncan, from Tl’azt’en First Nation, both presented strong and thoughtful speeches but Duncan’s opening remarks were stronger and more concise than that of Luggi’s. Duncan spoke to the need to take a more holistic approach to schooling and wishing to be an effective member of the school board to bring about those kinds of changes. Luggi’s opening speech outlined her academic achievements and history in the town of Fort St. James with less of a concrete platform to present than Duncan’s. However, the playing field was levelled during the question and answer period as Luggi’s jitters wore off and the candidate came into her own during question and answer period. Both candidates were subject to difficult questions in-

cluding questions dealing with topics like drug and alcohol abuse and LGBTQ rights and awareness within School District 91. When asked about drug and alcohol abuse among Fort St. James’ youth and adult population Luggi responded that the creation of a peer-support program in schools have proven to be effective in helping to curb drug abuse levels and help recovery in youth. Additionally Luggi outlined that more youth oriented activities and programs would also be helpful. Duncan recognized that drug and alcohol abuse have been ongoing problem throughout the area and suggested that proper education and awareness need to begin in the schools with teachers and counsellors reaching out to students. Duncan also recognized that there are underlying causes for drug and alcohol abuse including family and self esteem issues that could be addressed through the school system. Both candidates were asked whether, given the chance to serve as trustee, they would move to join the other 37 school districts that have passed a pro-LGBTQ policy in their schools to which Duncan said that she would be in support of such a policy saying that “we are all equal” and that her culture “respects the two-feathered people.” Candidate Luggi held the same position on the matter saying that it is “important that we show kids at a young age that we are all equal.”

How to Improve Life for Rural Canadians Canada Post became a Crown Corporation to improve network services. The Canadian Postmasters and Assistants Association (CPAA) wants to ensure this multi-billion dollar public network remains viable and able to serve the public. We have found a way to make this sustainable. A recent study shows that nearly half of post offices outside of Canada’s big cities are in communities with no bank or credit union. In those communities that still have a bank or a credit union, many residents have to contend with limited, part-time banking hours. Our survey of Canada’s 3,300 rural post offices: “Why Post Offices should offer banking services” is available for free download at: http://bit.ly/1r8U3fj. Offering financial services in post offices would create a new revenue stream for Canada Post. Equally important, it would benefit numerous communities in Canada whose residents, in order to get to a bank or credit union, are forced to travel long distances. That costs time and money and stifles economic development. Many other countries similar to Canada, such as the United Kingdom, France, Switzerland, Japan, Italy and New Zealand, have very successful banking services right in their post offices. We, at CPAA, believe that our study is significant because of the value of this public asset. Canada Post is uniquely positioned to offer financial services throughout rural Canada. When Canada Post can make more money and offer more services to Canadians who need them, we have a perfect opportunity. Let’s not lose it. Please Support Rural Canada. Write to Lisa Raitt, the Minister in charge of Canada Post, and ask her to make this happen. Her letter of suggestion can be found at: http://bit.ly/1pxhMVZ. CPAA represents over 8,700 employees of Canada Post who work in over 3,300 rural post offices across Canada. These offices make up over 50% of all postal outlets. Our membership, consisting of 95% women, serves communities in every province.

Small town charm makes appearance at debate Right from the onset it was clear that the all candidates forum in Fort St. James had something that was missing from other elections: friendship and togetherness. As citizens and candidates piled into Music Makers Hall, candidate Kris Nielsen approached candidate Dave Birdi to express concern over seeing one of Birdi’s candidacy signs had been overturned (either by a vandal or merely the wind). Nielsen told Birdi she wanted to make sure he knew so he could fix the overturned sign. This is so out of place to someone who is used to watching elections as hostile and frigid as the recent Toronto municipal election. It was refreshing to see some warmness between political rivals. As an Ontarian and former Torontonian, the Toronto municipal election is indicative to me of what we’ve come to expect from politics: attack ads, backstabbing, hostility and even racism. But here in Fort St. James, the sense of togetherness and community overcame that. It’s characteristic of what makes places like Fort St. James appealing; a feeling of oneness and friendship even in a realm as unforgiving and self-centred as politics. That small town charm can easily be exemplified by Nielsen and Birdi’s exchange. Say what you will about the nature of politics, it’s a dirty game, but every once and awhile you see small moments of decency in an arena as indecent as politics can be. In the end, candidates came together for a photo, putting arms around each other and laughing. It was nice to see a community that can rise above petty squabbling even in a forum that is designed to produce squabbling. Jesse Cole Caledonia Courier

Youth sorely missing from candidates forum

On Nov. 6 the all candidates forum for the upcoming municipal election was held at Music Makers Hall in downtown Fort St. James. All candidates showed up to the forum and all did an exemplary job. However, there was one thing that was notably missing from the debate: the youth. Aside from myself, who was there merely as an observer, there was one other young person in attendance. It’s not surprising, the low level of youth engagement in municipal politics, given the fact that candidate talking points and citizen questions were all but devoid of any youth-related issue. It’s disappointing to see a community whose youth are so disconnected from the political landscape of their town, but it’s far from anything new. The trend of voter decline has been experienced all over the country. The 2011 federal election had the second lowest voter turnout in Canadian history with just 61.1 per cent of the population voting. But how can we expect our youth to become interested and involved in the political landscape of our towns, regions, province and country if we don’t give their issues the same level of importance that we do to others. How can we expect young people to engage in a debate that’s almost entirely geared towards seniors and industry? Don’t get the message wrong, seniors are an important part of the community and with an aging population they’re an important topic of discussion, but so are our youth. I believe the first step to involving the younger demographic is to include them in the collective discussion. To not just pander to our own demographics but

Look for us online at : caledoniacourier.com

to all demographics. While some candidates were notably less in-touch with Fort St. James’ youth, it was in reality almost all of the candidates (outside of the school board trustees) who ignored the youth vote. Even the audience had very little concern for them. Of all the questions asked, of which there were many important and interesting topics, only one addressed youth in the community in any way: How do we keep our children off of drugs and help those with drug and alcohol issues. The question itself was one that has been asked of nearly every politician at some point and regardless of the validity of the question, I raise you that the answer to this question is simple: engage them. Provide for them a voice to speak on their concerns and engage them in the collective discussion rather than ignoring them. Drug use is most often a consequence of boredom and desperation, so engaging the youth and working to provide them with spaces and stimulating activities in their community can have significant impacts on the level of abuse associated with them. “Rehab and peer-pressure” that many of the candidates included in their answers should not be the first line of defence. I would have liked to see more youth voters in attendance, but I can’t blame them for their lack of interest. I’d like to have seen young people as a key issue during the debates, but maybe I should have been the one to raise a question. Jesse Cole Caledonia Courier

J.K. Johnson: Portrait of a Veteran.

The oldest man in town talks about his experiences in the armed forces as well as his life in Fort St. James.

SERVICEMAN: J.K. Johnson served as a Flight Officer during the WWII conflict prior to moving to Fort St. James in 1947 where he was instrumental in building the towns first Legion building. Submitted Photo.

JESSE COLE Caledonia Courier

J.K. Johnson lives with his wife Irene in a modest bungalow house on Stones Bay Drive overlooking the scenic Stuart Lake in Fort St. James. At 89 years old Johnson has lived in Fort St. James for 67 years making him, as he put it, the oldest man in town. It’s his claim to fame, he says. Johnson is also one of the last living veterans of WWII in the province, if not the country. Born in 1925 in Calgary, Johnson enlisted in the Canadian military in September of 1943, towards the end of the conflict, after returning to Alberta from California where he had been living and studying aircraft mechanics. “I guess I shouldn’t have [joined] really, because I had previously been taking an aircraft mechanics course down in California and I had a job in Minneapolis, Minn.” Alas, Johnson’s patriotism got the better of him in the end as he made his way back up to Canada to

enlist. “It was take the job in Minneapolis, Minn. or go home and join the armed forces.” Enlisting in the airforce, Johnson originally tried to join the navy. “I went into the navy recruiting office and they weren’t recruiting at that time,” Johnson said. “Right next door was the airforce, I went in and joined.” Johnson initially trained as a radio operator for an aircraft gunnery before training as a navigator and finally, upon discharge in September of 1945, a Flight Officer. During his military career, Johnson was stationed throughout western Canada in cities such as Edmonton, Saskatoon and Calgary, he was never deployed overseas. Johnson remembers his service years with fondness, urging young men and women continue to enlist, saying, “I enjoyed every minute that I was there. I would strongly suggest that any young man [or woman] who is more or less at loose ends should join the

services. The navy, army, airforce, whatever. It’s a great experience.” Johnson served until the end of war when he was discharged. After the war he studied in Calgary for a few years before deciding that he was too much of an outdoorsmen to be stuck behind a desk. It was then that he made the trip to Fort St. James in 1947. Married on his birthday to his wife Irene, in 1953, John-

son and Irene had five children: Kevin, Brett, Royce, Janine and Marilyn that they raised in Fort St. James. Ever the patriot, Johnson set about organizing and building the town’s first Legion building. “I was involved with the Legion right from the beginning,” Johnson says. In an account he wrote down, Johnson details the stages of the buildings creation including a trip by bush plane to Germanson Landing to observe log building methods in 1969 and the Legions first celebration in 1970. “Most of the labour was volunteered for which we thank Walt Taylor, Dutch Forshner, Olv Luthehouse, Jerry Playfair, Bob Vandlander, Bill Wilkes, Art Strong, Jim Perrin, Jack Spry, Ed Chrysler, Tom Browne, Jack Day, George Warning, Earl Hemminsgon, Art Besudreault, Art McInnis, Ralph Iilerbrun…” The list goes on and on ending finally in “There are others who’s names were not recorded but their assistance was appreciated.” John played an intrical role in the

Legions operations in the years following its building, but in his old age he had taken a step back from the veterans organization. “My conscience bothers me a little bit, because at one time I was very involved in the legion and now I’m taking a back seat.” He says the Fort St. James Legion has gradually begun to go downhill, attributing the decline to low membership, financial woes and “a sign of the times.” Johnson is still very involved in the military going-ons in Canada today, weighing in on the current military mission in Iraq. “…The problem is now what we’re fighting is not the type of war we were all used

to. It’s easy to point a gun at a man or an airplane or boat and shoot it, or get shot, but the type of war we’re fighting now, which includes terrorism, are some of the most heinous crimes man can commit; to pick on innocent people to prove a point, that’s the part that

really bothers me.” Johnson recounted his first experiences in Fort St. James and a record of the towns inhabits in the late 1940’s in a short memoir he wrote. That work, along with his record of residents is available on our website at www.caledoniacourier.com

The purpose of the proposed Pest Management Plan (PMP) is to manage invasive alien plants and/or noxious weeds on provincial Crown land in Central and Northern BC. The PMP applies to areas located within the Thompson-Nicola, Skeena-Queen Charlottes, Kitimat-Stikine, BulkleyNechako, Fraser-Fort George, Stikine, Peace River Regional Districts, and the Northern Rockies Regional Municipality. The PMP applies to areas located within the vicinity of the communities of Albreda, Valemount, McBride, Fort Nelson, Fort St. John, Dawson Creek, Chetwynd, Mackenzie, Prince Rupert, Terrace, Smithers, Vanderhoof, Prince George, Kitimat, Fort Fraser, Fort St. James, Burns Lake, Houston, Hazelton, Dease Lake, Atlin, and communities on Haida Gwaii. The pest management methods proposed for use include manual, mechanical, cultural, and biological control, and the use of herbicides within the area to which the PMP applies. The common name and examples of the trade names of the herbicides proposed for use under this plan include: aminopyralid (Milestone), clopyralid (Lontrel), dicamba (Banvel), diflufenzopyr (Overdrive), fluroxypyr (Sightline), glyphosate (Vantage Plus Max), imazapyr (Arsenal), mecoprop-p (Dyvel DX), metsulfuron methyl (Escort), picloram (Tordon 22K), 2,4-D (2,4-D Amine 600), and triclopyr (Garlon XRT). Selective application methods include: wick/wipe-on, injection, squirt bottle, cut surface, and foliar applications using backpack or vehicle mounted sprayer. The proposed duration of the PMP is from June 10, 2015 to June 10, 2020. A draft copy of the proposed PMP and maps of the proposed treatment areas may be examined in detail at: Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations (2000 S.

security after Ottawa attack

RCMP officers dressed in formal red serge were often unarmed. That has changed in the wake of the shooting of Cpl. Nathan Cirillo.

Submitted Photo

JEFF NAGEL Black Press

Last month’s attacks on Canadian soldiers in Ottawa and Montreal have prompted the RCMP to arm officers who appear in public in red serge and to take extra steps to protect auxiliary constables who volunteer unarmed in the community. The new requirement for direct supervision is expected to mean more armed regular RCMP officers accompanying unarmed auxiliaries at major public events than did in the past, according to Assistant Commissioner Dan Malo, the Lower Mainland District Commander for the RCMP. “Our reality changed after the events of Ottawa,” Malo said, referring to the killing of Cpl. Nathan Cirillo as he guarded the National War Memorial on Parliament Hill. He predicted the main impact will be on police staffing of major summer festivals. “It’s a shift in our cultural thinking on how we deploy police officers or anybody that is identifiable with law enforcement.” Operational decisions on exactly how those events are staffed will be up to the local commander based on their assessment of potential threats and other factors. Malo was not able to say whether the changes will increase costs to cities or decrease the number of offices on duty to respond to other calls, but added

Province offers $250 wood stove rebate to Bulkley Valley residents JESSE COLE Caledonia Courier

Residents of the Bulkley Valley will be eligible for a $250 rebate as part of the Wood Stove Exchange Program thanks to funding from the province. A sum of $10,450 in funding was given by the British Columbia government to the Bulkley Valley Lakes District Airshed Management Society in an effort to persuade Bulkley Valley residents to replace their wood stoves with more environmentally friendly, cleaner burning stoves. The incentive would give residents a $250 rebate on any purchase of a “new, certified domestic solid fuel burning device” or “high efficiency appliance, including gas, propane, pellet or electric stoves” said a

B.C. caucus press release. Nechako Lakes MLA John Rustad commented on the rebate saying, “Replacing an old wood stove with a more environmentally friendly model through the Wood Stove Exchange Program is a practical and effective way to reduce emissions,” adding that by making a switch to a newer, cleaner model residents can contribute to improving the community’s air quality. A total of $190,000 is being given to 13 communities through the province as part of the Wood Stove Exchange Program in 2014. Launched in 2008, the program has contributed over $2.3 million to help purchase cleaner burning models. It has contributed into a reduction of over 370 tonnes of particulate matter flowing into B.C. air.

policing costs will likely rise for some festivals. That prospect has alarmed Coquitlam city council, which voted to write to RCMP national headquarters to protest the change. The letter warns the new policy directive threatens cost-effective policing and will impact a broad range of community programs in schools and parks that are staffed by Coquitlam’s 49 auxiliaries. “Such a change will also have a significant financial impact if sworn officers are required to provide direct supervision of all activities performed by our auxiliary constables,” the letter states. “Our existing complement of regular members will no longer be freed up to attend to other scheduled duties.” More than 1,100 auxiliaries assist with policing across B.C. and Malo said it’s appropriate to be more careful than in the past, depending on the circumstances. “I consider them community heroes,” Malo said. “They’re volunteers who volunteer hundreds if not thousands of hours to wear an RCMP uniform and serve their community. We have to make sure these local heroes are protected.” RCMP officers appearing in the community in red serge often were not armed in the past. That has changed and those officers will now carry firearms, including at Remembrance Day ceremonies. “At things like funerals it’s very traditional we were not armed,” Malo said. “Now you will see when we are identifiable we are always armed.”
