THE HILLS ARE ALIVEAlpenhorn players Keith Berg & Jane Houlden, above, take it to the heights of Hudson Bay Mountain in celebration of Homecoming last Wednesday near Crater Lake, where they performed for several people. The event was part of the plethora of reunion and centennial-based activities occuring throughout the Bulkley Valley until August 11.

Smtihereens came out in droves to celebrate the official week-long centennial homecoming opening ceremonies on Saturday afternoon at the newly renamed Bovill Park.

“We have an absolutely incredible community,” said Mayor Bachrach, welcoming the crowd. “And I’m so proud to be apart of this celebration.”

After Mayor Bachrach said a few words, he welcomed special guest Claire Ackroyd, great granddaughter of Smithers’ namesake, Alfred Smithers, to the stage.

Bachrach presented her with the official flag of Smithers, and made her an honourary Smithereen.

“This is amazing,” said Ackroyd. “I am so flattered to be here and I thank you for inviting me to your party.

“I feel like a bit of an impostor, I think some of my more illustrious cousins should be here, but too bad for them. I get to have all the fun and tell them all about it.”

After, head of the organizing committee, Gladys Atrill came to the stage to thank everyone who contributed to the homecoming preparations and to

present the centennial quilt.

“This centennial project was quite a ride,” Atrill said. “Taylor talked about what this valley is all about and this quilt is one little snapshot.

“This quilt represents artists, the history, and hundreds of hours of work. It’s what happens when someone gets it in their head that something must happen.”

Local politicians Doug Donaldson, Bill Goodacre and a representative for MP Nathan Cullen also spoke to the crowd.

Interspersed with the speeches, a slew of local musicians, from Mark Perry to Alpenhorn players, to ‘Smithereens’ composer Art Henkel entertained the crowd all afternoon.

The ceremonies concluded with the presentation of the centennial cake, baked by Bri Sikkes from Paul’s Bakery.

With the opening ceremonies finished, the rest of the festivities were just getting started. An assortment of bands played on Bovill Stage all afternoon, and Mark Perry capped the day off playing for the street dance party from 8-10 p.m.

The night before, the town held its official naming ceremony of the newly built Legacy Stage.

“We want this to be more than a performance venue,”

Bachrach said to the crowd. “We want this to be a place where people can come for other reasons, too. Though the city owns the land,

this is your square and we hope that everyone takes a sense of ownership.”

History enthusiast Harry Kruisselbrink

then said a few word about the history of the plot of land the stage was built on.

At its inception the lot was a restaurant

called the OK Cafe, run by a man named Ban King, whose nickname was ‘Irish’.

Legacy Stage renamed Bovill SquareDuring the great fire of

1945 the cafe burned to the ground and the land was bought by the Bovill family, who ran a construction company in town, he said.

This history was a prelude to the naming ceremony,

“Council really wanted to make sure that whatever name we chose was a doorway for people not familiar with the community to learn a little bit about what had gone on here before,” Bachrach said.

“The name that we have

chosen is also a tribute to a fellow that was not only an important member of the business community but also who did so much to revitalize Main Street.”

Two members of the Bovill family were came up on stage and the new name of was

revealed. “And the square will be

called Bovill Square, folks,” Bachrach announced.

Shortly after the name was revealed, the stage was put to good use when Wet’suwet’en drummers entertained the crowd.

Vandals spray-paint businesses againBy Ryan JensenSmithers/Interior News

Smithers business owners are upset after their properties were vandalized less than 24 hours from the time they painted over graffiti from a previous incident.

Sometime overnight on July 30, four businesses, two public buildings and a vehicle were hit between Main and Toronto streets.

“Suspects spray painted the exterior walls of the premises with different types of logos and vulgar phrases,” said Smithers RCMP Corp. Andrew Hunter.

“The buildings and vehicle appear to have been picked randomly as the suspects headed in a westerly direction.”

The vandalism occurred just 16 hours after Dean Moore, who owns the buildings occupied by Bulkley Valley Printers and Tales and Ales U-Brew, and Grace Kwan, owner of the Twin Valley

Motor Inn, painted over graffiti that had recently been painted on their properties.

Kwan and Moore did so after they had been sent letters from the Town of Smithers asking them to paint over graffiti on the back of their buildings.

The letters asked the business owners to remove the graffiti within 10 days or face a $100 fine or be required to pay the town for the cost of removing it.

“Studies indicate that the best response to graffiti is timely removal,” said Matt Davey, prevention and community safety officer, in the letter.

“Areas left unattended for extended periods tend to attract more vandalism and create areas of increased crime and negative activity.”

Within two hours of being notified of the incident, Smithers RCMP had a 25-year-old man in custody. Police have recommended eight charges of mischief

under the Criminal Code. The suspect was released to appear in Smithers Provincial Court on Sept. 24.

Moore applauded the Smithers RCMP for catching a suspect but said until more serious sentences are handed out buy the courts, he has little confidence the situation will improve.

“It is just senseless, ignorant behaviour but until the court

system makes an example out of those caught, nothing will change,” he said.

His buildings being targeted with graffiti is a constant issue, Moore said.

“It goes on steady until the jerks run out of room and move onto another bare canvas somewhere else,” he said.

“The new graffiti will stay there until the person they have

in custody comes with a roller and paints it. There’s no point painting over it again until all these people make public restitution when they are caught.”

Smithers RCMP believe more than one vandal is involved and ask anyone who saw suspicious activity that evening to call them at 250-847-3233 or CrimeStoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

‘Glitch’ reason behind unreturned 911 callBy Amara JanssensSmithers/Interior News

An investigation into why an abandoned 911 call at the end of May received no callback, has resulted with no agency accepting responsibility.

Both Public Safety Answering Point and BC Ambulance Service investigated the incident, with PSAP saying the best explanation is that “a glitch” occurred.

On the evening of May 21, a 911 call for ambulance service was made on the corner of King Street and First Avenue.

Both PSAP and BCAS confirm the call came in at 19:58:49 to the 911 dispatch centre in Prince George. At that point, the caller requested ambulance service and told the operator her location. The call was then transferred to the BCAS dispatch centre in Kamloops, but by the time the call was answered, the caller had hung up.

According to BCAS, the call was answered by one of their operators at 20:00:17 “due to a high call volume at the time the call was placed.”

“After answering, the [Emergency Medical Call Talker] determined that there was no caller on the line,” Kelsie Carwithen said.

However, the caller did not receive a callback, despite policies from both agencies to reconnect with an abandoned

emergency call. “It is our standard

practice to always phone a caller back in the event that the call is disconnected,” Carwithen said.

But BCAS said this wasn’t possible in this

case because the call transfer was not fully completed by PSAP.

“We only receive information regarding the caller’s phone number and geographic location if the call is fully connected to us by a PSAP,” Carwithen said, explaining that a fully connected call means the caller is still on the line.

Chris Spence of PSAP said that sometimes information is not fully transferred when 911 calls are made with cell phones, compared to those made from landlines. Landlines automatically state to PSAP who the landline is registered with, the address and phone number through Telus.

However, with cell phones, the cell phone subscriber appears, but the GPS coordinates can be somewhat unreliable, especially in places where cell towers are not as plentiful.

Yet, whether or not the caller information

was transferred, no attempt was made by the BCAS operator to reconnect with the PSAP who had the caller’s information and location, said Spence. Spence also said it is the secondary

agency’s responsibility to initiate the call back, in this case that would be BCAS.

“Unfortunately with ambulance, they don’t always know which PSAP to call back,” Spence said explaining there are several PSAP centres.

However, Spence said he has been working at PSAP in Prince George for five years, and this is the first incident of this kind that he’s seen.

Spence said through their investigation with BCAS, the best explanation as to why BCAS did not receive the caller information was the result of a glitch. The caller was Interior News

reporter Amara Janssens

Celebrating the 100th anniversary

of Smithers with a Homecoming week speaks to many factors, but most of all it highlights a strong sense of place.

In academic literature we are a “place-based” people. Before you ask “what else could a person be?” think about what that actually says regarding the society in which we live.

Most people these days are not united by a geographic location which means by an attachment to particular land and water – a place. They are more united by a ‘community-of-interest’, or cultural

or social reasons, but not because they have a deep relationship with, and are influenced by, the natural world in their own backyard.

So it makes Smithers, and a number of other remote, rural northern communities, unique and the people who come from them, those returning for Homecoming week for example, holding something that many in B.C. don’t experience – that strong attachment to natural place.

It is an experience we share with the Wet’suwet’en on whose traditional territories Smithers was built, even if we

are talking several magnitude of order difference on time scales – 100 years and 10,000 years. Yet it is a common thread that needs to be highlighted so we can overcome challenges borne of yesterday and today, and build a more inclusive future together.

The deep relationships we forge with each other and the natural world surrounding us in small northern communities results in many never wanting to leave, and others returning with a sense of groundedness.

Instead of leaving for economic reasons for instance, many stay and find ways to support themselves and their families. Much of the history of Smithers and the Bulkley Valley has its roots in people finding ways to stay based on natural elements – the soil, the forest, the minerals, the water, the fish and wildlife. And that is another common thread that

requires exploration and highlighting with the Wet’suwet’en who have always depended on those natural elements for their existence as well.

The question nowadays is one of pace and scale of exploitation of those natural elements, here and elsewhere, and the impact that has on our sense of place which is really at the essence of who we are.

As we celebrate the 100th anniversary, and Homecoming week for Smithers, what better time could there be to get excited about having these important conversations with our friends and neighbours?

T he Interior News has been the media of record in the valley for more than 106 years.

These past months the volume of requests for access to our archives and permission to copy have shown just how much about our community is preserved in your local hometown paper.

Social service

providers

let down by

governmentEditor:

The social services sector provides supports to citizens in communities throughout British Columbia. After months of bargaining an agreement was reached and ratified in April 2013 under the co-operative gains mandate. However, there was not the ability to reach an agreement without some additional money. Government agreed to the additional funds required and the sector ratified the April 1 2012 – March 31, 2014 collective agreement (CA).

The success of our work is the result of our exceptional employees. The recently negotiated CA recognized both the tight fiscal environment we find ourselves in and the ongoing need for the sector to attract and retain skilled employees. We have implemented the CA and the wage increase as we are legally required to do. In addition to managing the wage increase, we are faced with increasing business related costs, increased costs for health and welfare benefits and we have not received the funding for the Family Day statutory holiday.

We have now heard a shift in the message from government in their commitment to fund these increases. First, they said that

they would ensure that service levels will not be affected; however, this is changing. They are passing this funding gap on to the service providers.

Our sector has worked together with our funders over the last few years to find savings through efficiencies and innovations. This includes agencies asked to cut overall costs by 1.5 per cent in 2001 and agencies asked to cut costs by a further 1.75 per cent in 2003.

Over the past few years our cost pressures have brought us to a situation where we are not fully funded for services being rendered. Some cost pressures include: several years of “net zero” contracts whereby staff received no pay increases to cover cost of living increases; government refusal to pay costs for hospital visits or medical supplies; implement the wage increases; additional increases in health and welfare benefits, CPP, EI, & MSP premiums; additional Family Day statutory holiday; and municipal pension plan increases.

We recognize that the financial situation that the government finds itself; and yet, while this is very

challenging, we will do our part to continue to operate in a highly cost effective and sustainable manner.

Many agencies throughout the province are struggling to meet increased costs, with some in a deficit position and wondering how they will meet the next payroll. The services that we provide throughout British Columbia are essential and contribute significantly to the health and wellness of our communities.

We need our community and our province to stand up; to ensure that the services rendered here locally and throughout the province are funded properly and appropriately. We call upon all of you to speak up to your government representatives. Make your voice known. Be a beacon of hope that government will fully acknowledge their responsibilities to meet their obligations to individuals, families, and our employees; which will strengthen stronger communities throughout the province.

Blind date?Editor :

We (residents) are suddenly the belle of the natural resource ball. Many suitors (LNG, mining and oil companies) are vying for our hand (social license and support). We’re interested in being courted because relationships come with many benefits (jobs, skills training, tax revenue, etc.). But we are overwhelmed by the attention and don’t know exactly how to deal with it.

First, it’s really hard to get to know each suitor and understand what they are all about - especially when many look the same from the outside. Then, when we start to talk to the suitors and get to know them, we aren’t sure whether to believe what they say. We’re slow to trust because we know from previous relationships that people can make big promises and fail to deliver.

We’re also a little uncomfortable with the suitors wooing techniques, which are a little different from what us small town girls are used to. While they are trying to impress us with shiny gifts, we’d prefer to have them over for a home-cooked meal and simple conversation so we

can get to know them better.

Also, instead of talking to us directly, many are going through our guardians (councils and economic development offices). Sure, these people are our family and know us pretty well, but they don’t know exactly what we want.

We want to have our say. This is our life and our future we are talking about.

Like anyone in the beginning of a relationship, we want to be heard and understood. We want suitors to see us as real people, not just prizes to be won. And we definitely don’t want them to tell us not to worry, they’ve got it all figured out. That only makes us worry more and trust less.

Everyone in our region seems to understand we are now in the dating game. Some are excited about the prospects. Others are afraid. Many are simply overwhelmed - and common reactions to feeling overwhelmed are procrastination and tuning out.

Something needs to change so that interested regional residents can and are encouraged to take an active role in this dating game. Maybe all the suitors from the same industry need to look beyond competition, present their information together, and aim for a well-suited match instead of simply trying to win.

Bulkley ValleyCREDIT UNION



Soccer playing brothers Dan and Dominic Imhoff, along with members of the Bulkley Valley Soccer Society, have begun campaigning the Town of Smithers for an upgrade to Chandler Park.

They argue that the turf is hard and full of bumps and as a result, it’s discouraging some soccer players from playing the sport they love.

Their proposals range from improving the current fields, to overhauling the entire park, taking out the running track and adding a third turf field.

Though no one has calculated the varying degree of costs for each option, an overhaul and turf field instillation would likely exceed $1 million.

Director of Recreation, Parks and Culture, Andrew Hillaby was pragmatic when asked about the conditions of the fields and the prospects for upgrading them.

“Is it a good idea to improve the quality of the fields? Yes,” Hillaby said.

“Are there other competing uses for municipal tax dollars? Yes.”

However, it’s clear that two sides disagree about the current condition of the fields, and subsequently, the urgency of the project.

The Imoffs and the BVSS say that the fields are in terrible condition and are in serious need of improvement.

“The fields are overused,” Dan Imhoff said.

“Kids roll ankles, we’ve seen broken legs and they quit because it’s not fun and many people just don’t want to play anymore. It’s just a matter of time before someone gets seriously hurt.”

“Ideally the field would be done before next year, it’s in dire straits,” Dominic Imhoff said.

“After a couple of games I’m hurting. My back is sore, my knees are sore, it’s one of the worst fields I’ve ever played on in my life.”

Hillaby has heard different reviews of the field.

“I think their comments are strong, but they don’t mention any of the positives. One of the comments I’ve received from the British soccer instructors that hold their camps here is that they were pleased with our pitches compared to other places in B.C.” Currently, the town

is undertaking a study on the usage levels of the fields around town, in an attempt to assess how necessary adding a third field is.

Dominic Imhoff hopes the study takes into account the need for soccer fields to lie fallow from time to time.

“Soccer fields aren’t like ice rinks,” Dominic Imhoff said.

“You can’t use them again and again, they need time for recovery. And right now, we are using the fields non-stop, every day.”

At a meeting last November, Brian Irvine, Matthew Monkman, Ruth Mintz and Daniel Imhoff of the BVSS raised a series of 17 questions for Town Council.

They were geared towards determining how interested the council was in upgrading the fields and how flexible they were about tackling the problem.

At the end of the meeting, Town Council agreed to support the initiative for a three field design, in principal.

“There are a lot of different options available,” Mayor Taylor Bacharch said.

“But upgrades are certainly not out of the question. Once we

have a plan in place we can try to come up with the money to make it happen, but, often, these things depend on how much momentum is out there in the community.”

Money raising initiatives could

include government grants, corporate donations or community fundraising. But, considering how long it took to get the money together for the recent second ice rink in town, a revamped field may

be further off than most supporters of the initiative would like to think.

The Town has purchased a new aervator to soften the turf and change the soil structure, but the results haven’t impressed detractors

of the field condition.Dominic Imhoff

isn’t hopeful that anything will happen in the near future.

“Right now the only prospect of getting better fields for us to play on is if I purchase some land and build one myself.”

Condition of Chandler Field sparks debate

Hazelton Wolverines won’t ice team for

2012-13 CIHL seasonBy Nolan KellySmithers/Interior News

Executives from the Hazelton Wolverines tried to revive their dormant franchise for the upcoming CIHL season, but because of financing issues, they were unable to come up with the funds needed to put together a team.

“We were really hoping to get a team back in the league,” Alan Tolmie, vice-president and Wolverines player said. “It was just an issue of needing more help and needing more money.”

The Wolverines executives were able to get the $2,000 team registration fee together, but they wanted to raise another $20,000 for an operating budget that would cover travel expenses, ice time fees and referee wages.

Some of the expenses could be recouped with gate receipts and concession sales, but with the uncertain nature of crowd attendance at senior men’s games, most

teams like to build up operating expenses in the event of a lean year.

Tolmie sent word around town and called various companies in the area to see if they might be interested in sponsoring the team, but had no luck.

“We tried everything we could, but local businesses don’t seem to be too interested in sponsoring hockey teams.”

The good news for Senior Men’s hockey fans in Hazelton is that the executives will try again next year.

On the plus side, Tolmie said the Wolverines did have 30 players committed to the team for next season. When the Wolverines ceased operations in 2012, many of the players were unable to commit to full seasons because of the nature of many of the jobs in the area.

Next year, Tolmie says the will be better prepared from the experience and will likely start fundraising sooner.

“I learned a lot abut the process

of getting a team together,” Tolmie said.

“We’re going to try and build up our bank account and start getting things together for next year shortly.”

Anyone from the Wolverines who was planning to play on the team this year can contact Smithers Steelheads GM, Kelly Zacharias, who still has a few roster spots available for the coming season.

The CIHL is comprised of teams from around the northwest region. Hazelton was scheduled to play in a division with the Smither Steelheads and the Houston Luckies.

The Wolverines last made the CIHL playoffs in 2009-2010, but lost in two straight games in the opening round.

Last season the CIHL had three divisions, of three teams, but with Hazelton dropping out, the divisions for next year have yet to be set.

Prescriptions for Living Well

Too much time in the sun gives you sun-burn, and wrinkles. It is also the leading cause of skin cancer.

Does this mean you have to stay indoors all summer? Not at all, provided you take certain sensible steps.

• Limit how long you stay in the sun – especially when the sun is strongest (from 11 am to 4 pm day-light savings time).

• Look for shady spots to enjoy your favourite magazine,

a picnic lunch, or a snooze.

• Wear a wide brimmed hat.

• Guard your eyes, and reduce future eye problems (including cataracts) by wearing sunglasses that fea-ture UV protection.

• Use lipbalm with sunscreen. Excessive sun can also bring out coldsores.

The Skinny on Sun-screen

If you do have to be out in direct sun, slap on some sunscreen.

Check the label to see if it protects against both UVA and UVB. You’ll also notice an SPF number. Try to use at least SPF 15. If you burn easily, choose SPF 30.

Be generous with sunscreen. Many peo-ple do not use enough, and get sunburned as a result. Cover every bit of exposed skin, and apply two hours later, after swimming, or if you sweat a lot.

Northwest soccer players try out for Aboriginal GamesBy Nolan KellySmithers/Interior News

The Aboriginal Sport Recreation & Physical Activity Partners hosted regional soccer tryouts last weekend in Hazelton with the hopes of forming teams that will represent the northwest region at the BC Aboriginal Games on Seabird Island from Aug. 23 to 25.

Organizers were

able to make two teams from the players that tried out, a U-17 male team made up of 17 players and a U-15 male team made up of 16 players.

Only 12 girls came out for tryouts – not enough to form a complete team – but the managers are still trying to fill out the roster.

“Overall the weekend was a success, the kids had a lot of fun,” Toni Muldoe, team

manager said. “We had about 45 kids from Haida Gwaii, Burns Lake, Terrace and our local villages.”

The team begins weekly practices this Monday, but some of the kids won’t be able to make it because of the distances between towns, so they’ll train in their own.

“The camp was good, there were a lot of good people there,” player Joel Patsey said. “We

should do fairly well, we’ve got a good team.”

The first day, organizers put the kids through shuttle drills, passing, and scrimmaging. On the second day of camp they did skill testing.

“The drills they put us through weren’t too hard, but they weren’t too easy, either,” Patsey added.

The northwest teams will be in tough against southern region who

have the population to support two teams in many cases. During the tournament they’ll go up against the teams from the interior, coastal, northeast, fraser and island regions of B.C.

“We have a couple really good teams,” added Muldoe. “I hope they do well, but really, we just want them to get the experience. It will be the experience of a lifetime for some of

them.”The BC

Aboriginal Provincial Championships and camps are a part of the Partners Council’s provincial strategy to develop a coordinated Aboriginal Team BC program and to prepare athletes and coaches for the 2014 North American Indigenous Games.

Regina is hosting

the 2014 games, from July 20-27. The event will feature a variety of sports, and competitors from all over Canada.

Anyone who missed the tryouts and would still like to join can email Toni Muldoe at [email protected].

Organizers are still looking for female players to join.

Jr. Canucks to host hockey camp hereBy Nolan KellySmithers/Interior News

Young hockey players from Smithers and the northwest region will have a chance to show off their skills in an effort to make the Dawson Creek Jr. Canucks between August 9 to 11 at the Smithers Civic Centre.

The Dawson Creek Canucks play in the Junior B, North West Hockey League, that features teams from around B.C. and Alberta.

“We were trying to search for areas in the province that don’t have junior leagues, but do have a lot of hockey players,” Ashley Rude, Jr. Canucks general manager said.

“We’re hoping to find a few players that just aren’t getting the exposure or the opportunity.”

For young players growing up in the northwest region, there aren’t a lot of options available between midget AAA and senior men’s leagues. For many, travelling to another town is the

only way they can continue their career.

If a player from the camp makes the team, they would then move to a billet house in Dawson Creek for the winter. The season is 35 games long beginning in late October and going until the early spring, with most games happening on weekends.

In addition to playing hockey for the club, the team has offered to help incoming players find jobs or schools in the area.

“We’ve got a lot of employment opportunities right now, with the oil fields booming and if the kids are looking towards school, we have a local high school and the Northern Lights College.”

And there is always the possibility of getting a U.S. scholarship.

“We have two division II schools from the U.S. that are scouting us this season and four former players trying out for the Junior-A Olds Grizzles, so there are chances to move on or move

up.”So far, the Jr.

Canucks have 10 to 12 returning players for next season, so they’ll need to add between 11 to13 more before opening night.Currently about 15 players have signed up for the camp, but the organizers are hoping for up to 40 participants.

The camp will

feature a mixture of game and practice situations. Action gets underway on Aug. 9 at 7:30 p.m., goes all day on the 10th and wraps up with a final scrimmage on Sunday afternoon. The camp is open to spectators.

Cost is $135 for the weekend with early registration, $150 at the door and

players from 16 to 20 years old are eligible.

“If things work out and this camp is successful, we would love to come back next year. We know this whole area is a hockey hotbed and we would love to have some players from the area come out to Dawson Creek and continue their hockey careers with us.”

New subdivision closer to reality for Smithers

By Ryan JensenSmithers/Interior News

The groundwork is being laid for Smithers’ newest subdivision, Ambleside, located behind Canadian Tire on 16th Ave.

Underground services are now being extended into phase one of the development and Remax Bulkley Valley realtor Leo Lubbers said there has already been a lot of interest in the subdivision, as six of the available 13 sites have already been sold.

“It’s looking really promising, the response has been very good so far,” Lubbers said.

“The lots are a good size, it’s a nice area and you can have basements here.”

The land for this project was sold to developer Ambleside Projects, Ltd. out of Campbell River, explained Town of Smithers director of development services Mark Allen.

“[Selling the property] was a staff recommendation about 10 years ago based on the fact [the Willowvale lots] sat vacant for

around 11 years before they finally sold,” Allen said of the town-developed subdivision.

Lubbers said the developers are hopeful construction on the first homes in the subdivision can begin this fall.

Jim Dobinson, Ambleside president, has been interested in developing in Smithers for some time and is please with the progress thus far.

“Smithers has so much to offer its residents and it’s my firm belief that with its new parks, trails and pedestrian connections our master plan will meet the communities expectations,” Dobinson said upon signing the purchase agreement with the Town of Smithers.

When fully finished, Ambleside will have 105 lots over 44 acres, surrounded by park land, with the Perimetre Trail running through, Lubbers said.

Ambleside Projects Ltd. belongs to a privately held group of companies with more than 20 years of residential and commercial development experience across western Canada, according to its website.

Smithers’ new arena project received a $250,000 boost last week, as the Northern Development Initiative Trust announced a generous grant for the project.

“It’s a big announcement and good news for our community,” said Smithers Mayor Taylor Bachrach.

“We’re trying to build an arena for $5 million and there are a lot of arenas out

there that cost more so it’s going to be very important that we’re able to fundraise the entire budget.”

NDIT chair Evan Saugstad said the arena project fits within the board’s scope of supporting community infrastructure projects. As a hockey player

himself, he also sees the benefit to having a second arena in Smithers.

“For someone who’s played hockey and played oldtimers… if you’re playing at midnight you can really appreciate when there’s no ice time available,” he said.

Bachrach said he feels the second arena will be an important economic driver for the entire region.

“Our long-term economic success is going to rely heavily on being able bring in new residents, people moving to the north for economic opportunities are looking for a community that has the amenities and is a good place to bring up a family,” he said.

“Having a second sheet of ice and having those recreation

opportunities is key in people’s decision making about where they want to live.”

The $250,000 grant had already been factored into the project’s budget.

While the grant has helped to close the funding gap, the Second Sheet of Ice Committee still needs $400,000 to bring the total committed to the project to $4.7 million.

Committee chairman Al McCreary was on hand for the announcement and said more donors

will be announced on Aug. 8 at the Celebrity Charity Hockey Game.

“Danny [Hamhuis] would like to see all $400,000 done by the [Aug. 8],” McCreary said.

“I think he’s optimistic, but to have his support is really important.”

If the fundraising goal is not met, certain aspects of the arena design will need to be scaled back and possibly built at a later date, as funds become available.

With the

Smithers Centennial Homecoming week upon us, Bachrach said he hopes this event will inspire new and old Smithereens to contribute to the project.

“We’re really asking the entire community to get behind this project,” he said.

“I think there’s a growing level of excitement as we see the work taking place on the site and we’re certainly hopeful that residents and visitors are going to come forward and make contributions.”

OFF TO NATIONAL COMPETITIONThe Moricetown Volunteer Fire� ghters are headed to Ontario after winning the provincial competition for the second year in a row. Moricetown, now Team B.C., placed seventh in last year’s competition.

Some local children will have a chance to get their hands dirty when the Groundbreakers Collective holds a Kids Get Food Day Camp from August 19-23 at the Princess Street Garden.

During the camp, children will harvest food from the garden, cook local food, and learn local food recipes. They will also visit local farms and make food art under the direction of local artist Linda Strangefellow.

“Kids can see how much food actually comes out of gardens and how much good food they can make from it,” said organizer Jen Hegan.

After the kids have harvested their food each morning, they head to a kitchen to

prepare it for lunch“I think the kids

will really enjoy the harvesting,” said Hegan. “For example, we’ll pull potatoes out of the ground and then go make french fries with them.”

At the end of the program the kids will get to bring home seed gardens and some food from the garden to try out some of the recipes.

The Princess Street Garden is community owned and operated and citizens of Smithers are welcome to plant their own crops. Currently, they’ve got a wide range of

vegetables, fruits and herbs that will be on sale shortly, out front of the garden.

The cost of the camp is $95 per child, but there are bursaries available. There are 12 spots available and kids from eight to 12 are welcome to participate. To sign up, drop by Nature’s Pantry on 1st Ave., or call Helene Fleury at 846-5575.

“The idea is to get kids who might not have a garden of their own to come out and get their hands in the dirt and learn about how to grow and cook your own food.”

Kids get chance to learn about food

“ I think the kids will really enjoy the harvesting ... we’ll pull pota-toes right out of the ground. ”

Smithers family decendant arrivesBy Nolan KellySmithers/Interior News

The centennial opening ceremonies had a surprise in store for those who came out to the Bovill stage on Saturday afternoon as Claire Ackroyd, the great granddaughter of Smithers’ namesake, Alfred Smithers, was introduced as the guest of honour for the week-long celebration.

“This is amazing,” Ackroyd told the crowd. “I am so flattered to be here, thank you for inviting me to your party.”

Though the majority of the Smithers clan still resides an ocean away in England, Ackroyd didn’t have to travel quite that far to make it here.

In the 1960s, she left home to travel, landed in America, and never left.

“I was born in 1947, so when the 60s came around, I was ripe for whatever this 60s produced,” Ackroyd said. “I found it very oppressive to grow up with all the expectations of a

privileged family, so I took off and went to France, and the U.S.”

Her travels took her to the northeastern states, where she attended the University of Vermont and the University of Maryland. She earned degrees in plant and soil science and horticulture before beginning her own landscape and garden design company.

Eventually she settled down and had a daughter.

Though she is the lone member of the family to leave England and set up shop in America, she travels back to visit quite often.

Much of the Smithers clan still resides in the town she grew up in, Knockholt, the place where her family has its roots.

Ackroyd’s great grandfather, Alfred Smithers, made his money in the stock market at the tail end of the Industrial Revolution. He built a large home in Knockholt and made himself into an English gentlemen. Through his contacts, he landed the position as head of the Grand

Trunk Railroad, in it’s last years, before it became nationalized. While building the railroad, Smithers spent four years in and around the Bulkley Valley.

“We have a diary

back home filled with notes about his time here,” Ackroyd said. “The pages aren’t too exciting, but they’re filled with comments about how beautiful it is.”

After finishing

the railroad, Alfred Smithers returned home, raised his family and became a politician. When he died, his son, Waldron Smithers, took over his seat as a Tory, and kept it for

the next 35 years. He raised two sons and two daughters, all of whom lived on the country estate.

“When we were growing up we always knew there was this town called Smithers,

but it could have been in Africa or Mongolia for all we knew. It was just a piece of mythology, a name.”

But that’s changed for Ackroyd, now that she’s come to visit.

“To drive in here and see the name, and see that this is a real place full of real people – and it’s a most beautiful place – I didn’t know what to expect. It’s amazing.”

During her week in town, she plans to soak up as much Smithers culture and nature as she can.

“I am interested in ecology and farming, so I would love to learn more about the land and the valley,” Ackroyd said. “And I would like to know more about the family history, so if anyone has a story they would like to tell me, I hope they will.”

Ackroyd’s daughter is getting married in Idaho in just under a month, so the trip to the west fit in perfectly. After her week in Smithers she’s planning to drive east, through the Rocky Mountains and Calgary, on her way to her daughters wedding.

Claire Ackroyd, great granddaughter of Alfred Smithers, addresses the crowd at the Smithers homecoming week opening ceremonies.

An ad hoc committee of local history buffs has compiled a list of more than 100 titles dealing with the history of the Bulkley Valley.

The list provides the title of the publication, author and publisher where available, and a short description of the content.

“We did it to help celebrate Smithers’ 100th birthday,” said Lynn Shervill, one of the contributors to the bibliography.

“But the list actually covers the whole of the Bulkley Valley from Houston to Hazelton and east to Babine Lake and is divided into First Nations and Euro-Canadian sections for the ease of researchers.”

Shervill said the bibliography covers a time period stretching from the earliest First Nations’

villages near Hazelton to the present, including information on the Collins Overland Telegraph through the valley, the paddlewheel and pack-train era and the completion of the Grand Trunk Pacific Railroad.

“It’s all there,” he said. “From the first dugout canoes

to the first commercial passenger jets.”

Shervill said most of the publications listed in the bibliography are available for loan or viewing-only at the Smithers Public Library.

The bibliography will be updated regularly and is available for purchase for $5 at the library, Mountain Eagle Books and Interior Stationery.

All proceeds go to the library. Other contributors are Kathy

Wilford, Harry Kruisselbrink, Mark Tworow and Jane Stevenson.

Lynn Shervill, Kathy Wilfod and Harry Kruisselbrink pose with a copy of their recent history of the Bulkley Valley bibliography. The book is on sale at the library and Mountain Eagle Books.

Guitar camp set to host youthBy Amara JanssensSmithers/Interior News

A popular and unique camp will be welcoming youth next week who want to improve their guitar skills.

The Youngster Guitar Camp is organized and run by the Bulkley Valley Folk Music Society and will be held at Camp Caledonia on Tyee Lake from next Tuesday, August 13 to Saturday, August 17 for kids aged 10-18.

Melanie Monds, an organizer for the youth camp, said kids of all skill levels from beginner to experienced are welcome at the camp.

But spaces are filling up quickly.

“There’s only a few spots left,” she said.

Kids will have fun packed schedule at the camp, with guitar lessons from impressive instructors, rhythm classes, as well as some time set aside for some active fun, such as dancing and swimming.

In the evenings, students will share their music around the campfire.

This year, Monds said the camp will be particularly

exciting as they had the opportunity to purchase 18 drums and hired drum instructor Taylor Poffenrotch, thanks to a grant from

the Wetzin’kwa Community Forest.

“It’s so freakin’ awesome!” Monds exclaimed.

“It was a tremendous gift.”

At the camp, kids will be preparing for a special night where they will be able to perform songs they wrote themselves, with the goal of “encouraging everyone to be creative,” Monds said.

But she also wants everyone to see some of Smithers’ talented young musicians.

Their performance will be the opening act for the BVFMS

Guitar Camp Instructors’ Concert being held at the Hudson Bay Lodge on August 17.

Guitar instructors at this year’s youth camp are: Theresa Pasaluko, Ben Brookes, Tedhi Russell, Madeline Lough, and Theresa Mohr.

For more information, email [email protected].

Youth from the Bulkley Valley and surrounding area will be taking part in the Bulkley Valley Folk Music Society’s younger guitar camp. The camp runs from Aug. 13 to Aug. 17 and is held at Camp Caledonia on Tyee Lake.

Three Rivers’Ksan museum looking to avoid closing, Smith-WilsonBy Jerome TurnerHazelton/Interior News

The ‘Ksan Historical Village and Museum is in dire need of funding after six years of scraping by financially was deemed unstable enough to have its bank account frozen by the Canadian Revenue Agency.

The organization needs $25,000 as soon as possible to remain open to the public, which is nothing new, according to Laurel Smith-Wilson, ‘Ksan museum curator and executive director.

“People in the community have known we’ve been on life support for some time,” Smith-Wilson, adding ‘Ksan has been treading water since the flood in 2007.

“We have nothing to hide and it’s important that we speak the truth to the community. Instead of pulling the life support I really think we can pool the resources of the surrounding area to brainstorm and stay open.”

The museum portion of ‘Ksan began as the Skeena Treasure House in 1959, which was the first aboriginal museum of its kind in Canada.

The Skeena Treasure House took nearly 20 years of work by then Village of Hazelton Mayor Polly Sargent, Albert Douse and Jefferey Johnson, who were all part of the Hazelton Public Library Board, according to the ‘Ksan website.

“Development for the museum was directed by the fundamental principle that the economic and social problems of Hazelton would diminish if all people, both First Nations and non-First Nations, understood the stature and richness of Gitxsan culture,” according to the website.

The ‘Ksan museum has been at the current location since 1970 and has hosted several unique events, Smith-Wilson said.

“It would be a shame if it had to close,” she added.

Since 2007, when floods hit northwest B.C., the ‘Ksan Association has been near the high water mark where its budget is concerned. The group is asking for help to cover basic expenditures which will allow the organization to stabilize.

THREE RIVERS REPORT

‘Ksan board appeals to community for fundsFrom KSAN on B1

The current board of directors has attempted to raise funds through the various organizations in the area and it isn’t about to give up, Smith-Wilson said.

“The current inability to fund our basic infrastructure is by no means because of a lack of effort on our part,” Smith-Wilson said.

“When it comes right down to it all we need is a loan guarantee. We could then shuffle the finances in a way that will allow us to remain a welcoming place for all tourists that come through the area.”

The only reason ‘Ksan has remained afloat thus far is by tourists buying art

and other wares available within the buildings at the historic village site, Smith-Wilson added.

“The flood in 2007 hit us hard,” she said.

“You can’t be successful when you’re shut down for the bulk of tourist season as we were then. We have never really dug ourselves out of that hole.”

Another contributing financial factor is the fact ‘Ksan is not funded publicly like every other museums along Highway 16, Smith-Wilson said.

“We’re always borrowing from Peter to pay Paul,” she said.

“I don’t know why the founding members never opted for a stable, public

revenue stream? I don’t think we’d be faced with this if the local band offices and municipalities were involved from the beginning.”

It would take less than $5,000 per year from the six local band offices to maintain operational, she added.

The ‘Ksan board has also approached the Gitxsan Development Corporation for assistance, but has yet to garner funding from the organization.

“We spoke with them at length and talked about what ‘Ksan needs,” she said.

“We’re still waiting for a reply, but I’m optimistic as ever. They said they would consider a $10,000 grant-in-aid before they shut down in May. That was the last

straw for the bank. We basically were playing Russian Roulette with the CRA and couldn’t keep the wolf outside the door any longer.”

Currently the CRA has ‘Ksan’s account frozen which funnels any money put into the account to the federal agency.

“This is preventing us from paying all sorts of other necessary bills,” Smith-Wilson said.

“The $25,000 would clear us up and then we’d still have to deal with employee wages and other fixed costs. We’re doing the best we can and still hope the community will show what this place means because it is still a treasure.”

Ban on Skeena food fishing until Sockeye passBy Jerome TurnerHazelton/Interior News

After consulting the Gitxsan membership the Gitksan Watershed Authority brought down a closure of the Skeena River food fishing due to a lack of Sockeye returning from the ocean.

Two meetings, one July 26 in Gitanmaax and another July 30 in Gitsegukla, were held by GWA and although the total number of people at both meetings was less than 100, an immediate decision was necessary, Charlie Muldon, GWA technical co-ordinator said.

“We haven’t seen low numbers like this since the 1950s,” Muldon said.

“This is definitely the worst return of Sockeye in my lifetime.”

Returns could dip to 400,000, as opposed to the more than one million Sockeye normally making their way up the Skeena annually, Mel Kotyk, Department of Fisheries and Oceans director, said.

“On [July 26] 20,000 Sockeye

came through the Tyee test fishery,” Muldon said in Gitsegukla July 30.

“That’s the highest escapement for any day this year. We expected that to continue through the weekend, but it didn’t. The passed two days have seen 10,000 and 8,000 Sockeye come through, which tells us that the fish aren’t late - they’re just not coming.”

Sockeye salmon are sought by most people due to its rich flavour, which translates to the best fish for preserving over the winter, which is why the closure of food fishing on the Skeena has caused some to question the decision.

Walter Wilson Jr., who collects Sockeye for elders in Gitanmaax, attended both GWA meetings and didn’t hold back where his thoughts on the matter were concerned.

“This doesn’t seem fair,” Wilson said.

“If we’re going to do this we better make sure people upstream like the [Babine Nation] aren’t taking the fish we let pass by. What would be the point if we let our people starve while others are allowed to

continue taking these fish?”Wilson may have reason for

concern.“We appreciate the leadership

[the Gitxsan] have shown here,” Kotyk said.

“DFO has also taken further measures to protect the Skeena Sockeye. Right from the marine waters all the way up the Skeena and Babine Rivers to the Babine fence. We’re still working with the Babine Nation as to what restrictions are possible there, as

they have yet to be able to collect any food fisheries.”

Muldon expects the Babine Nation to follow the Gitxsan, DFO and other First Nations’ lead, which if the final number of return is near 400,000, would ensure a Sockeye return in 2017.

“Implementing conservation measures is seen as necessary by everybody in the northwest,” Muldon said.

“So far this year there have been no area four sockeye

commercial fishing and measures have been taken on the Nass to limit the interception of Skeena Sockeye. Both First Nations and DFO are on the same page concerning conservation efforts.”

The GWA and DFO both issued press releases stating as of 10 p.m. Monday, July 5, 2013 all food fishing, including gill nets, catch-and-release and angling for Sockeye salmon will be prohibited until further notice.

“Anglers can still fish for Steelhead, Chinook and Coho,” Kotyk said.

“But Sockeye fishing is completely shut down.”

It remains unknown why Sockeye numbers are so low this year, but GWA co-ordinator, Chris Barnes, believes it has something to do with the tsunami of the coast of Japan in 2011.

“We really won’t have any idea until all the the data is in after the Sockeye season is done,” Barnes said.

For more information call the Gitksan Watershed Authority at 250-842-2151 or the Department of Fisheries and Oceans at 250-627-3241.

The Tyee test fishery shows last year’s Sockeye salmon run, dark line, as opposed to this year’s run during the months of June and July. Estimates predict just over 400,000 Sockeye will return to the Skeena River which is the low threshold allowing for a strong return in 2017.

New Hazelton the latest target of rampant thievesBy Jerome TurnerHazelton/Interior News

Last week several New Hazelton residents were the victims of theft from vehicles, which is believed by locals to be connected to similar crimes in Old Hazelton this summer.

The RCMP have received several complaints of items and money missing from vehicles in the Hazeltons and have come up with little proof regarding the identity of the person or persons committing the crimes, New Hazelton Corporal Wenda Leask said.

“Most of these incidents are more of a vandalism-type event,” Corp. Leask, describing the New Hazelton break-ins, said.

“Some vehicles didn’t have anything taken from them and others were left open. People are still leaving their vehicles unlocked with items visible to any who pass by.”

Failing to lock a vehicle, especially after it has been broken into, is baffling, Corp. Leask added.

“When something has been taken it is likely they’ll go back to see what else they can get,” she said.

“I think this proves whoever is doing this isn’t afraid to take risks.”

Marlise Zurbrugg is one New Hazelton resident who has had her vehicle broken into more than once.

The first time, July 29, nothing was taken, but on the second occasion, July 31, items, which Zurbrugg doesn’t wish to divulge, were removed.

Whoever is breaking into the vehicles is apparently planning before heading out, Zurbrugg alleges.

“My vehicle was locked the second time and they somehow managed to leave no fingerprints,” Zurbrugg said.

The forensic unit that travelled from Kitimat to collect fingerprint

data scoured Zurbrugg’s vehicle, but said it is unlikely there will be any print aside from family members, Zurbrugg added.

“They told me they think the thieves were wearing gloves,” Zurbrugg said.

Another New Hazelton resident, Kara Weeber, who works at B.C. Cafe in Old Hazelton has been hit multiple times in both towns.

“Once was at work during the day,” Weeber, who saw three youth who she believes were working

together near her vehicle, said.

“It was around 3 p.m. and I was in the back of the restaurant and I saw this kid at the front window watching for me. It wasn’t until a few hours later that I got in my car to find my glove

compartment was open along with my middle console.”

The contents of Weeber’s vehicle were turned upside down and her sunglasses were taken, she said, but in a strange twist were put back in her locked vehicle later.

“I obviously just missed busting them because they were right by my car,” Weeber added.

Yet another New Hazelton resident who lives on the opposite side of town from Weeber and Zurbrugg had a large sum of money taken.

Robert Wagner, whose vehicle doesn’t lock properly on one side just wants his money back at this point.

“I’m pretty choked,” Wagner said.

“I worked for that money and was planning on getting something good with it.”

New Hazelton RCMP are asking anyone with information regarding any theft in the last few months to come forward.

After dusting for prints not one was found on Marlise Zurbrugg’s vehicle by the Forensic Identification unit that travelled from Kitimat to assist in the investigation.

Herbal Retreat brought to Hazeltons by BCRBy Jerome TurnerHazelton/Interior News

On Saturday an all-female retreat will begin at the Bulkley Canyon Ranch to promote a community mind-set and deliver information about food available anywhere the Earth’s surface is forested.

Women of Wisdom, Spirit and Power: Accessing Earth’s intelligence for self care, health and healing is the name of the two-day workshop and Beverley Gray,

author and long-time herbalist, has been invited by the BCR to host the event.

Laurie Gallant and Bill Crosson are the owners of BCR and sought out Gray to facilitate workshops after finding her book last year.

Gray, whose most recent book, The Boreal Herbal: Wild food and Medicine plants of the north, is excited to host her second natural food workshop at BCR. “It’s going to be great to have her back,” Gallant said.

“Her book is full of so much knowledge about plants we can find all around here. I’ve tried out several of the recipes and they’re great.”

Allergies began natural food quest, GrayHERBS from B8

Gray began her personal education with herbs and natural-based food at a young age due to suffering from allergies.

“My first real experience with plants was ‘oh my God I’m allergic to them’,” Gray said, who didn’t let that stop her.

“But then I dug deeper and learned what plants also helped to combat the allergic reactions like nettles, vitamin C and other plants.”

Gallant is hoping the workshops provided by BCR will generate a locally-based group who will be able to host more herbal events.

“It would be amazing to not have to import people like Beverley, but at this point there’s nobody around here with her knowledge base and

willingness to share,” Gallant said.

“Having local people would also make the workshops way more affordable and frequent.”

However, after last year’s workshop Gray has heard nothing but stories of continued success and the formation of a local, natural food knowledge-base.

One attendee, Melanie Stephens, started her own herbal business based in Kitwanga.

“She sent me a message saying her business was on doing very well,” Gray said.

“Other people also have told me they are collecting herbs for salves, teas, creams. It is always good to hear about people applying what they’ve learned at my workshops to their lives.”

Activities such as personal journals

and meditation will be balanced by group sessions about self-care, such as, self-massage, making body oils and yoga.

“It’s going to be a very relaxed weekend,” Gray said.

“As we transition through our lives as women it’s really great to have time for self reflection which gives the ability to recognize certain health issues and provides us the tools to prevent certain diseases. Nature provides us with so many of those tools and Laurie and Bill’s land is a perfect place to begin learning those things.”

There will be an open campfire where visitors are welcome Saturday evening, which will begin around 7:30 p.m.

Three spaces remain at $299 plus $20 per night to camp and $5 per breakfast.

For more information visit bulkleycanyonranch.com or phone 250-847-1399.

Beverley Gray will facilitate an all-woman workshop beginning Saturday, which will be part spa, part personal introspection and part group learning.

International artist, Perry Rath, began his, Patient Quest, exhibit titled at the Misty Rivers Art Gallery last Friday, which will be on display until September.

The exhibit’s title is derived from Rath’s personal experience and honing his ability to allow the his pieces time to come to life organically.

“I’m on a creative exploration where I interpret my life and the things around me,” Rath said.

“It takes a lot of patience. You can’t rush it.”

Rath is father of three and works at Smithers Secondary School as the art teacher, so the limited time he does get to create must be efficient.

“As an artist you can’t always wait for the muse,” he said.

“Otherwise you’d never get much done. You have to make the time to work, but you also have to be diligent to not force anything. I’m often relegated to working late into the night.”

What Rath creates is all his own, but he

draws from a well of art in Canada, which always involves elements of the natural world, he said.

“My paintings are about experiencing the landscape,” Rath said.

“More specifically they’re about how we as humans try to understand the environment around us, which reflects our inner environment. And the textures you’ll find on my work reflect things like rock, lichen or decaying wood.”

It is difficult to categorize what Rath puts to canvas, which is a mixture of such things as photographs, salvaged material and organic matter like tree bark, but he has gotten to the point where he has developed a distinct signature that is easily recognizable.

“It’s a style that I’ve created over the years,” Rath said.

“I’ve accumulated a variety of techniques that I employ to various degrees for

each piece. Some of them have a photo-transfer which is a sort of acrylic skin.”

Sometimes Rath incorporates what he does recreationally into his art.

“I use maps of areas in some pieces with photos I’ve taken while hiking those same areas,” he said.

“Canada has lots of landscape paintings, but this is my own, modernized version so to speak.”

While Rath’s unique canvas work doesn’t have much of a political component, his installations are definitely meant to send a specific message, he said.

“The installations are clearly anti-pipeline,” Rath said.

“Some of my work has been part of the ‘Oil-Free Coast’. One of the pieces is called ‘Reclamation Pipe’.”

The latter is an eight-foot long pipe

on a foundation of antiquated colonial

themed books with different types of feathers sticking out of the pipe, Rath described.

“The books were being discarded by the library,” he added.

“If you could flip through them you’d find nothing but old, archaic takes on colonizing Canada. In short, this piece describes how

pipeline and industrial development is just a modern form of colonialism.”

Patient Quest includes paintings, installations and screen-prints created over the past few years.

To view the entire collection visit the Misty Rivers Art Gallery in Old Hazelton this month.

LEA, Peter passed away peacefully on July 24, 2013 in the Bulkley Valley District Hospital in Smithers, B.C. at the age of 68 years, due to complications from a very fast but heartfelt fight with Pancreatic Cancer.

Peter was born in Toronto, ON, on April 28, 1945 to Arthur and Daisy Lea. After their deaths, he moved to the Williams Lake area to live with his Uncle Jack and Aunt Terry Ross. While attending barber school in Vancouver, Peter became an accomplished goalie playing for the Vancouver Juniors Club and later played with the Williams Lake Stampeders Hockey Club while pursuing his profession as a barber.

He married Ruthanne Leith of Coquitlam, B.C. on May 28, 1966 and they settled in Williams Lake, B.C. They had two children Christopher and Jenniffer. Peter and Ruthanne then moved to Dawson Creek in 1979 and lived there for four years before moving to the lower mainland where Peter was a barber in Port Coquitlam until 2008 when he had to retire due to medical issues with his heart.

Peter and Ruthanne moved to Smithers to be closer to their daughter and her family and have made good friends and a supportive church family. Peter will be sadly missed by all who have come to know him over the years.

Peter is survived by his wife Ruthanne, son Christopher Lea; daughter Jenniffer (Kerry) Brandon; grandchildren Brennain Lea and Brynn Brandon.

In lieu of flowers donations can be made in Peter’s name to the Community Cancer Care Services at PO Box 370, Smithers, B.C., V0J 2N0. No service by request.
