Glaim memorial vandalizedBy Kendra WongSmithers/Interior News

A memorial for a Telkwa man that was put up less than a month ago was the target of vandalism early last week.

The memorial for 29-year-old Stephen Glaim was put up on a tree trunk in Riverside Park next to the Bulkley River in mid-June following a walk in his memory.

His mother Lisa went to visit the site last Wednesday only to find the tree completely stripped of the bandanas, sunglasses, eulogy and cross that family and friends put up.

“We went down there and everything is gone,” said an emotional Glaim. “I don’t know if they

realize what they took, but I would really like it back.”

Though she doesn’t know who did it, Glaim speculated the act may have occurred overnight on July 15

since she visited the memorial on July 14 as well.

Smithers RCMP said they are aware of the situation but because it’s a makeshift memorial

and not one officially sanctioned by the town, there is little they can do to help.

According to Glaim, the investigation into Stephen’s death is still

ongoing and the site offered a place for people to grieve and remember him.

“I’ve got feelings too, his sister, his aunts, his uncles, they all have feelings and that’s where we go to spend time with Stephen,” she said. “I just feel empty now.”

Glaim understands it’s too late for the smaller things, but insists she just wants the cross back.

In the meantime, she is in the process of finding a new home for Stephen’s memorial in Riverside Park.

“I’m starting over again. . . . I’ll find a new place for it by the river,” she said. “I just want my son’s stuff back.”

Stephen committed suicide in May in Prince George.

Last month, friends and family of Stephen Glaim put up a memorial at Riverside Park. It has since been vandalized.

NWCC expands university offeringsBy Ryan JensenSmithers/Interior News

Smithers students will soon be able to take up to third-year university courses at Northwest Community College.

Starting in September, the Smithers NWCC campus, in partnership with the University of Northern British Columbia, is offering a wide range of third-year university-level courses in accounting, psychology, philosophy and geography.

These courses are in addition to the numerous first and second-year courses already being offered, said Phil Burton, chair of UNBC’s Northwest Region, which include business and anthropology, for example.

The increased course offerings are part of UNBC’s mandate to have more programming available outside of their Prince George and Terrace campuses, Burton said.

“We’re taking the

approach of trying to develop some general programming at all of the major campuses and Northwest Community College is our partner in that, where they typically offer first and second-year university credit courses then we take over the upper divisions,” he said.

“In looking at enrolments in the college over the last five years, we’ve found the greatest numbers have been in sociology and psychology.

We’re thinking now as a short-term goal to build on those programs.”

Looking further ahead, Burton said the plan is to be able to offer programming that leads to a full degree in the most popular courses, such as geography, geology and environmental sciences.

It’s the hope that offering more university-level courses at NWCC will allow more people to further their education, he said.

“For many people, including mature students who have a partner with a job, a mortgage and kids, if they can get their education completed in their home community, it makes it feasible whereas relocating to Prince George or even Terrace for a year or two is not.

“The cost of student accommodations continues to rise in Vancouver, Victoria, Nanaimo, Kamloops and now even Terrace, making the option of taking as much post-secondary education in Smithers as possible an attractive option for students and their parents.”

More information on the programs can be found on the UNBC or NWCC websites.

Applications must be made by Aug. 1.

Students can go to www.unbc.ca or www.nwcc.ca and follow the Admissions links or email Alma Avila at Terrace’s UNBC campus at [email protected] or call her directly at 250.615.5578.

As the salmon start swimming into nearby rivers, the Department of Fisheries and Oceans is reminding anglers to watch for hatchery fish.

Mike O’Neill, manager of the Toboggan Creek Hatchery, said people can tell if a coho or chinook is a hatchery fish by looking for the adipose fin. If it is clipped, that means the salmon is part of the sport head recovery program and has a coded-wire tag embedded in its head.

The tag is a one millimetre piece of wire that is laser etched with a number and injected into the nose cartilage of young salmon.

The department places about 5.5 million tags in salmon every year, using more than five-kilometres worth of wire. The tags help figure out the abundance, distribution and survival of the fish. It also helps to determine the trends for planning next year’s fishing season and the run timing in salt and freshwater areas.

O’Neill said that

it is important to turn in heads from terminal or freshwater sites and even though people fishing close to hatcheries can assume the origin of their catch, data will be not recorded unless the heads from fin-clipped salmon are turned in.

Anglers that catch a hatchery fish and keep it, are asked to drop the head off at one of the three depots in the area, which includes Country Wide Sport in Houston, McBike and Sport in Smithers and the Toboggan Creek Hatchery.

“Each angler will receive a letter that

tells them the age of the fish and where it was raised. We’ve had the odd one up here that has come here from a different hatchery but we are the only hatchery upstream of Terrace,” said O’Neill.

People that drop off hatchery heads are also eligible for prizes. The prizes were drawn last week for the 2013 season. Tim Hicks from Quesnel picked up $250, Tracy De la More of Houston won binoculars and Smithereen Paul Davis was awarded a knife.

O’Neill is hoping to get a lot of heads turned in this season.

“Looks like sockeye will be strong, which is good because last year was very weak and there was no fishing. Chinook, it is hard to tell but there is a test net on the Skeena and the index isn’t great. It is a bit early to tell yet for coho as well.”

The hatchery in Evelyn, 13 kilometres west of Smithers, is open to the public for tours. The best time to check it out is in the summer and fall months when they have up to 60,000 juvenile salmon on hand. They also have a ballpark, picnic area and outdoor shelter.

One question that I get asked a lot when

I am speaking with residents is, “Where is the recycling taken to?” First off, I can tell you that it is not heading to any landfill in the province. I am happy to hear that residents are concerned about where the recycling is going, it is important to follow up and to ensure that industry is doing as they say.

As a contractor to Multi Material BC (MMBC), the Town of Smithers is obligated to drop off recycling at the designated post collection facility. Once the Town of Smithers drops off the materials, our job is done. From there, it gets bailed and

transported south. Before we get

too far ahead, some background information: MMBC has two sides— curbside and depot collection of materials and post collection sorting and preparing for market. The first part is run by contractors and subcontractors —municipalities, regional districts or collection companies. The second aspect is run by a newly founded recycling collective called Green by Nature (GBN) —consisting of three well-established recycling companies: Cascades Recovery, Merlin Plastics and Emterra Environmental.

At present, there

are only two registered GBN sorting and preparation facilities in BC, located in Kelowna and Surrey. This could be for a variety of reasons; there are not a lot of facilities that can handle the volume of recycling coming in for processing (in Smithers

alone we collect close to 20,000 lbs every other week!); GBN has standards that need to be upheld to ensure that the end product is as valuable as possible; lastly, MMBC is a complex program with a huge range, it will take time to establish new processing facilities. Also, it is important to keep in mind, that for many materials that are collected, the end market is overseas, and the major port in B.C. is in the Lower Mainland.

Of course some materials are being processed and then sold to markets within BC and Canada. In BC we are blessed to have a number of companies that upcycle materials into value added

products. There is a company that makes plastic lumber and another that presses Styrofoam into door and window frames. And of course, there is the extensive pulp and paper industry as well. There are markets in B.C. However there are also markets abroad that purchase large volumes of prepared recycling to make new products. This variety of markets is important for a viable recycling industry and economy.

Where does my recycling go?

It’s been my experience living here that the thing for some to do is to just say “no.” No LNG projects, no Kinder-Morgan pipeline,

no Enbridge, no mining development... no double tracking... no big box department store... nothing that even so much as slightly impedes upon their own vision for our town, valley, province and country. One that keeps Smithers exactly as it is. Is that what we really want for our future? I wonder if they, or actually any of us, have considered answering the question “What if I’m wrong?”

It’s about time we heard more from the yes side... yes to jobs... yes to well funded education, yes to growth.

I, like many others, feel that in order for me, my children and my grandchildren to look forward to a life with meaningful work in an economically and ecologically fair way, we will need the tax dollars and wages generated by a resource-based economy.

Face it naysayers... how can you drive a car, ride your bike, jog on cushy runners, take a flight, use your tablet, laptop or smart phone, enjoy shopping for organic produce, have the education system no less affordable as it is, have lights when you want lights and heat when you want heat without the careful extraction and prudent use of our raw resources?

If we all just said no, where would you or I be? Am I wrong? I might be but then so were the

smart hunter gatherers more than 12,000 years ago who discovered a better way to kill fish. That skill at resource extraction, gave their family an increase in nutrition and an easier lifestyle allowing for even better ideas to be brought about.

I say yes. Grant Harris, publisher, The Interior News

Cops for Cancer lead by example

Editor: The riders for the

2014 Cops for Cancer Tour de North have been taking quite the proverbial beating both in the local media and the community after a photo of myself, Const. Jennifer McCreesh and Rohitha Fernando was featured in the July 9th printing of The Interior News. The reason? No helmets!

Let it be mentioned that this was a staged photograph with no helmets both to allow for better recognition of the riders as well as to visually illustrate the length of hair that I am planning to donate to the cause later this year.

Please let it also be mentioned that we are aware of our position within the community and the expectation that we lead by example. Both of us maintain, with the exception of this one staged photograph, full compliance with the helmet regulations.

Rohitha and I are both in good spirits and prepared to accept good-natured ribbing for this lid-faux-pas. I have even gone so far as to donate $100 my own Cops for Cancer Tour de North donation page as payment for a no helmet “fine.” I will also henceforth be handing out coupons sponsored by the Bulkley Valley Brain Injury Association and RAYZ Boardshop to youth who are seen around the Bulkley Valley without helmets of their own.

All joking aside, however, don’t let something like a posed photo allow you to lose sight of the big picture of what we are trying to accomplish. Help spread the messaging: leading a healthy active lifestyle is and always will be the first line of defence against disease prevention.

Looking forward to seeing everyone at the Cops for Cancer fundraising barbecue on Saturday

at Bulkley Valley Wholesale from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Stand up to the CBC

Editor: Like most of you,

I recently received an appeal in my mailbox from our local NDP MP, Mr.

Nathan Cullen. In it, he calls on citizens to rally in support of guaranteed funding for the CBC. Meanwhile, the CBC—our taxpayer-funded national left-wing propaganda machine—continues to shape public attitudes as it sees fit by largely ignoring opinions in which it disagrees and promotes heavily those ideas which its reporters, anchors and producers are fond of.

Gay marriage, access to abortion, promotion of divisive cultural aspirations and lavish spending of taxpayer dollars are all high on the list for CBC. Negative commentary attacking Christian values or belittling homeschoolers and pregnancy care centres is common fare.

Why should taxpayers continue to foot the bill for such socialist propaganda?

The CBC should be reporting the news, not telling Canadians what they want them to think and how they want them to vote. Lopsided election coverage may work well for the NDP but it does not justify the ongoing entrenchment of Canada’s version of PRAVDA.

Stand up to the CBC! Since it no longer represents the

taxpayers who fund it, we should demand that it be privatized. It troubles me that I should be paying for the brainwashing of the Canadian people who have been led to believe they are getting unbiased reporting.

Oh yes, by the way, that’s also my tax money Nathan’s using to print and distribute his householder mailouts. How convenient! An ad for the NDP, a bit of propaganda in support of our national socialist broadcaster... and all at taxpayers’ expense!

That’s why we continue in our struggle to proclaim truth and restore sanity...without taxpayer funding and without the help of the CBC.

Three years ago, Sa-yez Wilson didn’t even know what wrestling was.

But over the years, he has poured his blood, sweat and tears into the sport and will make his first-ever wrestling appearance at the North American Indigenous Games this week.

“My sensei for judo was going through some [personal] difficulties, so he took a year of absence, but I wasn’t going to get any exercise so I was disappointed,” said the Smithers Secondary School student. “I was walking through my school and I heard the announcements talking about wrestling and I wondered what it was, I’d never heard of wrestling.”

Since then, he has competed in tournaments around the province, however, the North American Indigenous Games in Saskatchewan will be one of the largest stages Wilson will compete on.

But the 17-year-old isn’t nervous.

“I feel pretty good. I’ve been working a lot to save up some money to go,” said Wilson. “I like meeting new people and fitness.”

He will be joining Team B.C. with three other wrestlers from Vancouver Island, he said.

“I’m shadowing it in my head, visualizing it,

thinking about it,” he said of the upcoming competition.

Though he admits he hasn’t trained in about four months, he attended a wrestling camp in Port Alberni recently, and wants to try some of the moves he’s learned.

“This camp was the only thing I could train at. It’s not the typical camp that I would normally go to, but we got 15 hours of training,” he said.

“We learned a couple of new things [and] how to do new moves.”

Wilson does have some go-to techniques that he hopes will lead him to victory.

“I like throwing because I’m also in judo. I think my favourite one is single-leg though,” he said.

According to his father, Shane, Sa-yez is proud and excited to represent the Bulkley Valley.

“He loves the competition, he loves the physical aspects of being active,” said Shane. “He’s a very dedicated athlete and he loves everything that he gets to do.”

However, his three years of wrestling have not been without injury.

He has suffered concussions, and tore his muscles and rotator cuff.

“I’ve been injured at tournaments, like at provincials, I got a

concussion,” he said. “So I wasn’t allowed to continue wrestling.”

However, his father insists he is ready for the Games.

“Right now, he’s fit as fiddle,” said Shane. “He’s been jogging home from work on a daily basis. He’s really committed. When he realized he’s going to be competing against kids from the Northwest Territories and Eastern Canada, it was quite an eye-opening moment.”

Despite being injured multiple times, it has opened up new doors for Wilson.

“I’m going to do college for two years. But what I’m really looking to do is to become a massage therapist or a chiropractor because I notice how much people get injured and I noticed how much I got injured.

“This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for me,” he added.

Wilson will be competing in the under 69 kilogram weight class in Regina between July 20-27.

Smithers’ Luke Santerno has inked a deal with the Cowichan Capitals.

The 6’3” 185-pound powerhouse forward led the 100 Mile House Wranglers in scoring last season with 45 points and 18 penalty minutes in 47 games. He also led the team with 24 goals and 10 power play goals.

According to Santerno, signing with the Caps was a no-brainer.

“I’m really excited, I’m looking forward to being on the [Capitals] and playing in the [BCHL],” he said in a press release. “My coach from midget [Brendan Hutchinson] used to play there and he had a bunch of great things to say about the team so we talked about it for awhile

with my parents and him and decided this was a good choice to make.”

According to Capitals head coach and general manager Bob Beatty, Santerno’s size and skill are game -changers.

“Luke is a forward with a great set of hands and good offensive instincts,” said Beatty.

“Luke was coached by former Capital captain Brendan Hutchinson in midget hockey in Smithers and has a year of Junior-B under his belt. We like the combination of size and skill that Luke brings and feel he will develop into a top-end forward in the BCHL.”

Santerno also appeared in five BCHL games last season as an affiliate with the Merritt Centennials, one of which was against the Capitals.

Saltos’ coach wins bursaryBy Kendra WongSmithers/Interior News

Saltos’ gymnastics head coach Alana Jensen is the only person from the Northern Interior to be named a hometown hero by a community foundation this year.

“It was a real honour,” said Jensen, who attended the award ceremony two weeks ago in Prince George.

Jensen, along with three other B.C. athletes, was awarded a $2,000 bursary from the Pacific Western Brewery Community Foundation for her efforts to better the community.

And she already

has big plans to use the bursary to further her coaching career.

“There’s a level four coaching program that you have to get accepted into and you can only apply for it every two years, so I’m going to apply for it next year, or else I’ll use to go to U.S. National Congress next year,” said Jensen.

She has been coaching for the past 15 years at Saltos, which is where she originally got her start.

“I started off as a gymnast in the club and I started coaching as a teenager. I really love coaching,” she said.

Since then, she has

expanded the gym to nearly triple its size, and has implemented educational and mentorship programs in Smithers and other nearby communities.

“We’ve been trying to do an outreach program. I went to Houston this year and did gymnastics there,” she said.

“We also did school programs and Kids Can Move, which is bringing gymnastics to the schools instead of having people come to the gym.”

Becky Stavast, who nominated Jensen for the award, said she is the perfect role model for her kids and the community.

“She’s very supportive of all the

kids at the gymnastics club,” said Stavast. “Alana is wonderful, she’s great with the kids, she goes above and beyond in every aspect.”

Brian Kieran, spokesperson for the foundation echoed Stavast.

“[Jensen] is a good role model for other athletes who become coaches, she’s a good role model for her community because she’s dedicated to her craft and she’s taking it beyond to other communities,” he said.

Jensen is moving on to Flip City in Langley next month and will be working under renowned gymnastics coach Cathy Chapell.

Q i

DrivewayCanada.ca | Welcome to the driver’s seat

Ford parties on with fun new FiestaTORONTO: It’s a lovely day on the backcountry roads of suburban Ontar-io, just west of Toronto, chosen to show off this ‘special’ version of the popular Ford Fiesta. It’s an enjoyable drive through a pretty landscape, dotted with quaint farms, moving along at a decent speed. Easy to forget the Fiesta is powered by Ford’s smallest engine, the 1.0L EcoBoost.With three-cylinders, an output of 123 horses and peak torque of 125 lb-ft., it’s not something to scoff at. Furthermore, there’s an overboost feature that will give you access to 148 lb-ft of torque for up to 15 seconds. Furthermore, Ford touts it as having the best highway fuel economy in its class. It uses an estimated 4.3L/100km on the highway and 6.2L/100km in the city. Along with this new engine, there are also a few tweaks for the 2014 model year.You’ll find new headlamps with chrome accents, a new decklid and tail lamps. Inside, there are new steering wheel controls, a new door design, a new cluster design and additional chrome accents on the door handles and throughout. Not to mention the

additional cupholder in the rear!Complete with a new interior and exterior look, the Fiesta certainly adds life to the party.It exudes pep and still has a lively personality. That can be attributed to a 5-speed manual trans-mission. With the 5-speed manual, the gear throws felt a little long, but then again, we’re not talking about the ST, its the Fiesta’s performance-ori-ented sibling. Noteworthy: the cabin stays serene even at highway speeds; when you’re cruising in fifth.

Keeping unwanted noise out of the car’s interior is always high on the priority list for subcompacts. It has a roomy trunk, accommodating up to 422L behind the second row in the hatchback.Of the two body styles offered – there’s a sedan or 5-door – I fancy the hatch-back. I also think its styling has a little more flare.As for handling, we had the chance to put it through an autocross-style track to demonstrate its abilities in tighter, higher speed turns. While many people probably won’t drive the Fiesta like this – even though it’s quite fun – it can handle its share of bends without

faltering. Matched with its electric power-assisted steering, you have a good amount of steering feel whether driving at high or low speeds.The engine is its strongpoint but it’s not just a one-trick pony. I like the interior a lot. The steering wheel is soft to the touch and I like that you can control various functions like the audio, Bluetooth, or cruise control from it. The centre stack has charm, too. Atop sits a colour display, followed by Ford’s infotainment system, followed by the climate con-trols. It’s hard to get lost in its setup, and the buttons are clearly marked with large writing. Equipping the Fiesta with the 1.0L en-

gine has a $1,295 premium. What that gives you is the extra bit of power and the fuel economy savings. This engine can only be outfitted on the SE trim, which has a starting MSRP of $14,866. However, it’s available on both the sedan and hatchback models.Overall, the Ford Fiesta 1.0L has its benefits. A snappy engine, a great look and a comfortable ride quality. Whether you just drive it around the city or beyond, the Fiesta one-litre is a sturdy road companion with impressive fuel economy. Visit www.ford.ca for more information.

Station wagons are officially and en-dangered species in North America.Richard Nixon was president when the last really cool one was built in America. A quick look at the cars on this list might make you re-think any preconceived notions that wagons were all “Mom Mobiles” for the pre-minivan generation.1955-57 Chevrolet Nomad — The iconic Tri-Five Chevy, built from 1955-1957, was likely the post-war high-water mark for Chevrolet. It came in myriad body styles and was available with the first version of Chevrolet’s legendary small-block V-8. The two-door Nomad wagon gives even the convertible a serious run for its money in the cool

department.1959 Pontiac Safari — The 1950s were littered with cool station wagons with over-the-top styling. Our vote goes for the ’59 Pontiac Safari. That was the model year in which tail fins reached their absurd apex. The ’59 Safari actu-ally had two sets of fins on the top and the bottom of the rear fenders, making it look like a Redstone ballistic missile – which was probably not an accident.1964-65 Chevrolet Chevelle — Two-door wagons are very impractical to the point of defeating the purpose of hav-ing a wagon in the first place, but they look cool. We love the first-generation Chevelle two-door wagon for its handy size, great looks and the fact that all

of the performance parts from the two-door SS coupe will fit on the wagon, making it a great sleeper muscle car.1968-72 Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser — The Vista Cruiser and the Ford Country Squire are the cars that immediately come to mind when referring to the “back backseat,” and it was probably in one of these wagons where the classic slow-burn phrase “Don’t make me come back there” was first uttered by an agitated father. The Olds gets the nod in terms of cool, simply because we love the glass roof and GM’s spot-on styling work.1971-73 Volvo 1800ES — Volvo of the 1960s and ‘70s wasn’t exactly a compa-ny synonymous with high style. Frumpy

but practical 544s, Amazons and brick-like 240s were the stereotypical Volvos of the day. But the P1800 coupe was gorgeous, and for a few brief model years it was available as a very pretty two-door sports wagon. Nicknamed “Cinderella’s Coffin” by some for their long, flat roof lines and generous glass, these wagons are among the few truly collectible Volvos — and they run virtually forever.Rob Sass is the vice-president of con-tent for Hagerty Insurance. Hagerty is the world’s leading specialist provider of classic car and boat insurance.

Call Coast Mountain Chevrolet Buick GMC at 250-847-2214, or visit us at 4038 Yellowhead Highway 16 West, Smithers. [License #10041]

Drives-U-CrazyStoppingStop signs mean stop now, not eventually. There’s little that’s more scary when you are moving briskly along a major city arterial route than to be confronted suddenly by a car rolling at a clip over a stop line from a side road on the right. The driver knows whether the car is going to stop before entering the highway. I don’t because I’m not a mind reader. What drives-u-crazy?

What [email protected]

What do you get when you combine the world’s best-sell-ing zero emission vehicle with innovative paint technology that repels mud, rain and everyday dirt?

Answer: a Nissan LEAF electric vehicle that might just be the “world’s cleanest car.”

Created to demonstrate its potential use in future pro-duction vehicles, this LEAF’s exterior was treated with a specially engineered paint that is designed to repel water and oils.

The “self-cleaning” paint, called Ultra-Ever Dry, creates a protective layer of air between the paint and environment, effectively stopping standing water and road spray from creating dirty marks on the LEAF’s surface. [email protected]

Community groups bene� t from Wetzin’kwaBy Amanda FollettTelkwa/Interior News

Wetzin’kwa Community Forest Corporation hosted its annual open house and handed out cheques for the 2014 Community Grant Program at Telkwa council chambers July 16.

Almost all 30 community groups who received funding attended the event, along with members of Wetzin’kwa’s board of directors and several Village of Telkwa council members.

“We had a great turnout for the event, with just about every grant recipient coming out to pick up cheques and learn about each other’s projects,” Wetzin’kwa general manager Bill Golding said.

“It’s nice to see these revenues flowing back into the community.”

This is the sixth year for the community forest’s Community Grant Program.

The program distributes revenue from Wetzin’kwa’s forest tenure by funding projects that return the greatest long-term benefit to Bulkley Valley residents.

Since it began in 2009, the program has invested more than $750,000 in community initiatives, funding dozens of projects in the Smithers, Telkwa and Moricetown areas.

Individual grant awards are limited to a maximum

of $10,000 per successful applicant.

This year’s grants totalled $178,778—the largest amount to date—and included a variety of community organizations

from between Moricetown and Telkwa, such as Smithers Snowmobile Association, Smithers Mountain Bike Association, Telkwa Museum Society and the Glenwood Hall

Committee Association. A full list of recipients can

be found at www.wetzinkwa.ca/grant-program.html.

TheWetzin’kwa Community Forest’s purpose is to support

the Bulkley Valley economy through job creation and the distribution of annual profits back into the community from a 32,000-hectare community forest tenure.

Almost 30 community groups attended the Wetzin’kwa Community Forest Corporation’s annual open house at the Village of Telkwa of� ces on July 16. Nearly $180,000 in grants were handed out to the organizations this year—the highest total ever.

Peters’ Shafted draws inspiration from Bulkley ValleyBy Ryan JensenSmithers/Interior News

Driftwood author Sheila Peters’ new mystery novel, Shafted, is set in familiar territory.

The recently-released book is Peters’ first mystery and takes place in and around Smithers.

Not only that, but the book was

the product of a lot of talented area residents.

It was published by Creekstone Press, which is owned by Peters and Lynn Shervill, the cover artwork is the work of Hans Saefkow and layout and book design was done by Tom Grasmeyer at Bulkley Valley Printers.

“There are two main characters and one is a newcomer to town,” Peters explained.

“She’s an auxiliary RCMP officer who also works in a theatre job at the high school. The other main character was born and raised here, knows everybody, knows the local history, knows the family connections and he’s a keen outdoors guy who is working to get the Babines turned into a park.

“It’s all set in April, so the underlying theme is that’s when people around here really go crazy. They make

it through the winter but the snow starts melting, it’s freezing one day, hot the next. It’s sort of about how Smithers has this facade of this pretty little mountain town where everyone is happy.

“It pokes at that facade, just like when the snow melts in April, there is all this other stuff beneath it.”

A whole lot of fun!Sockeye Salmon Fishing

with a Fly rod.

Come check out the selection Sockeye Salmon

Rod & Reel Combos

Happy Fishing!

The Sockeye salmon returns are living up to the predictions for the 2014 year = lots of fi sh. For fi shing Sockeye Salmon in the fresh water you will need a 7-9 wt fl y rod with a fl y line that has a very fast sinking tip (sink Rate 7-10 feet per second). You will need to use a leader 2-4 feet long of 12-15 pound test as Sockeye are pretty feisty for their size. They have been known to jump over people shoulders and often go between the fi shers legs while hooked . As for a fl y use a bright pink or chartreuse ( fl orescent green) fl y tied on a size 2 or 4 fl y hook. Common places to fi sh are the Babine river just below the fi sh weir and Ferry Island in Terrace and on the Kitwanga back road. When looking for the right type of water to fl y fi sh for Sockeye you are looking for fast moving water over a shallow riffl e ( water depth 2-6 feet)

Mystery Shafted available now

Driftwood author and publisher Sheila Peters just released her � rst mystery novel, Shafted.

Ryan Jensen photo

While Peters draws inspiration from the Bulkley Valley, she said all characters and situations in Shafted are completely made up.

“It’s fiction, I’m not writing about real events,” she said.

“I’ve found that when you write fiction, people don’t ever really believe you’re writing fiction, they think it’s thinly-veiled fact. The characters in the

book are fictitious.” Peters started writing Shafted

years ago but it had laid dormant until she was re-inspired to pick the manuscript up after a workshop she attended, hosted by a mystery writer.

The official launch party for Shafted takes place Aug. 15 at the Smithers Art Gallery, beginning at 7 p.m.

Peters will do a short reading

and said she plans on holding more this fall.

Shafted is available now at Interior Stationery and Mountain Eagle Books.

The title is also available as an ebook and Peters is serializing the novel on her website—www.sheilapeters.com. A new chapter will be posted each week, starting Aug. 1 and she will also be reading it on CICK.

Softball president Bill Jex steps downBy Kendra WongSmithers/Interior News

Sitting in the living room of Bill Jex’s home and his love for softball is obvious.

His porch is cluttered with old softballs, bases, bats and jerseys and his living room is sprinkled with more softball gear to be donated to another softball league.

Jex has one philosophy when it comes to softball: kids first. And it is that belief that has helped him rebuild the softball league from the ground up in the Town of Smithers.

“I think seeing some of the kids grow and knowing that the clinics we’ve done for the umpires and seeing how that’s helped kids grow is probably the best thing,” he said.

After six years of running the Smithers Junior Softball League, Jex is stepping down as president.

He took over the league with a friend, but has since taken on any and all responsibilities of running the league including sponsorship and administrative work, such as registering with Softball B.C., getting umpire certification and establishing the town’s first girls

softball team. “I think we’ve

achieved all the goals,” said the Ontario native.

“When we started out, we wanted the league to be solvent, so we needed sponsorship and we’ve accomplished that. We wanted to make sure we were a part of Softball B.C.’s long-term development program and we are. This is the second time we’ve had teams going down to the B.C. Summer Games.

“Terrace and

Kitimat have always been the strong, powerhouses in terms of softball — that’s not the way it is

anymore. They have some skilled players for sure, but as an organization, I think we’re in really good shape,” said Jex.

The league has almost doubled in size over the past few years to 180 from 85 kids on average every year, he

added.Joe De Gisi,

equipment coordinator of the league, said Jex has virtually been a one-

man-show running the league over the years.

“He figures out what needs to be done and how to do

it and those are the kinds of people you need volunteering in a community organization,” said De Gisi.

“He has lots of energy and he puts all that energy toward people who play ball.”

In the upcoming season, Jex is hoping to take a more back-seat approach.

“Next year is my youngest son’s last season playing ball. I really wanted to coach and that’s sort of what’s pushed this along because if I don’t do it now, then I would miss that opportunity.”

His wife Diana, who also played softball at the national

level, believes it’s time for him to take on another role in the league.

“I’m excited to see him step back and give back,” she said. “He’s always in the back of everything. To be frontline and on the field with the kids again — he’s a great coach. He won’t leave it, he’s just stepping back a bit.”

De Gisi agreed, adding Jex will never stop being involved in the game.

“We know that he loves the game too,” said De Gisi. “He’s not going to walk away from the game of ball because he’s stepped away as president. We’ll be looking at him for continued inspiration.”

Jex said he’s received half a dozen emails from parents looking to get involved in the executive.

And he does have some words of wisdom for the next president.

“The next president should believe in the kids-first approach,” he said.

“Ultimately, everything that is done in the league should be done to benefit the players or the youth umpires and if you have that as your philosophy everything else just falls into place.”

Bill Jex (left) helps umpire a softball game. One of Jex’s proudest accomplishments has been getting young umpires proper certi� cation so they can help ump other games in the league.

By Marisca BakkerHazelton/Interior News

Hazelton and area residents were given a chance to learn more about the Regional District of Kitimat-Stikine’s plans for the Hazelton Landfill Phase 2 expansion last week at an open house.

Roger Tooms, manager of works and services at RDKS, said the idea to expand started in 1994 when a solid waste management plan was done.

That plan had several recommendations in it, one of which was to find a new long-term landfill facility for the Hazeltons. The RDKS went in 1996 to look for sites and they found eight to 12 sites and did some preliminary investigations, including the site adjacent to the existing landfill. It turned out that the space beside the original landfill was the more favourable site to pursue further.

A landfill site advisory committee at the time helped consider those sites and a lot of feedback from the community. Residents said they liked the location.

“Some communities don’t like the landfill so close but they are fine as along as it was tucked away and didn’t feel any impact from it. They liked the convenience of the location. We even looked at transferring garbage from Hazelton to Terrace to see if that would save money. But it was about the same cost and residents were clear they wanted their own landfill,” said Tooms.

“Last year we floated the concept at an open house, to get more feedback, there was zero negative feedback on the locations and design. We brought in an environmental specialist to update the environmental aspect of it because it had been a couple of years since we looked at the biology component of this and modified the site accordingly.”

Dr. Tony Sperling was brought on to help design a concept. He’s a professional engineer and has been doing landfill engineering for more than 25 years and has worked on just about every landfill in B.C. at one time or another.

He did a lot of detailed site investigation to understand the

geology and hydrology, the aquatic environment and the wildlife and adapted the design as information came in.

“From talking to people at the last open house there has been a high level of concern that we don’t impact the streams and surface waters, in particular to protect the salmon and their spawning grounds,” he said.

The expansion includes lining the engineered facility with a geo-membrane system.

“Once you line the site, you have to deal with 100 per cent of the leachate, so whatever is produced you have to deal with. We planned a sophisticated treatment system that included a retention pond and aeration pond. That does a fairly good job of treating landfill leachate,” said Sperling.

But that’s not all.“We did not want to rely on that, so

we tweaked it so the holding ponds are increased to allow that leachate to be held for a full year and not discharged in the winter when the ecological system is dormant.”

The plan was also recently adapted

to add a sand filter and a hybrid poplar plantation.

The polished material will be irrigated into about a thousand poplars. The trees are fast growing and soak up a lot of moisture.

Sperling said the goal is not to discharge any leachate but in case it happens, the site is in a spot where it will go to a natural polish area.

“Overall, it will be as protective of the environment as any other landfill in B.C. and sets the bar pretty high. The residents can feel that their waste is going to be pretty well managed,” said Sperling.

Ron Saimoto, senior biologist for SKR Consultants Limited, also worked on the site design with Sperling.

“We’ve gone over the old environmental assessments done in 2000 and found that some of the issues have changed and took that into account. We refined and updated it to ensure that residents would be content that an appropriate level of environment assessment has been conducted,” he said.

THREE RIVERS REPORT

Hide tanning course at ‘Ksan wraps upBy Marisca BakkerHazelton/Interior News

About 40 more people in the Hazelton area know how to make leather after hide tanning courses were held at ‘Ksan Campground.

The workshops, put on by the Northwest Community College, were taught by two different instructors, Mary Dennis, a Tahltan elder from Iskut, and Benjamin Laurie, a new resident of Hazelton.

“It has been amazing. We do things a bit differently and we are learning from each other as well. She learned from family and has been doing it since 1982. I’ve learned from more of a scientific approach, where people have done research on different tanning traditions throughout North America,” said Laurie.

“Everybody worked together and they did the whole process of tanning the hide. There are about seven steps to it, so they did it all, right to the smoke,” said Dennis.

Laurie added there was also a wide variety of students. While some participants were Gitxsan, there were also some non-native people and the ages ranged from 12 to 70. There were about 40 people who took the course over the two weeks it was offered.

Kispiox resident Tom Morgan said the course was worthwhile and

recommends it if it runs again. “I wanted to take this course

because I do a lot of crafts and don’t do a lot with tanned hides because of the cost. Learning how to tan hides will cut down on that cost, it creates a lot of effort but saves a lot of money. Then you can turn around and start making money but I like doing crafts for my family and keepsakes for myself.”

Morgan, who is Gitxsan, is hoping to pass down what he learned last week.

“I’m hoping to teach my children, if they want to learn. Hopefully I’ll create enough interest for them to want it but in order to do that, I have to be busy in it. You can’t talk the talk without walking the walk.”

Curt Dilks, left, sews the softened hide to a towel to prevent it from burning during the smoking process. Ben Laurie, above, smokes the hide.

Veril Bulah JonesJuly 13, 1926 - July 9, 2014

Veril passed away peacefully at Royal Inland Hospital surrounded by her loving family.

She was predeceased by: her parents Laurence and Gladys Paul, her husband Daniel, her brother Marvin, her sisters Ethyl and Phyllis, son-in-law-David, her great-grandson Grayson and partner Fred Kennedy. She is survived by her children: Edwin (Marian), Dave (Val), Margaret, Daniel (Connie), Gordon, Hazel, and James (Donna), 15 grandchildren, 10 great grandchildren and 10 great-great-grandchildren, her sisters Millie, Faye, Joyce, Dorothy and brother Laurence

Veril was born on a farmstead in Herchel, Saskatchewan during the Great Depression. She moved to British Columbia to find employment where she met her husband, Daniel Jones. After her children were old enough, she worked for many years as a cook at the hospital in Smithers. She loved family weekend camping and fishing trips at lakes in the area. She was an active sports participant in her early years, playing baseball and curling.

Upon retirement she moved to Osoyoos and loved working in her garden and entertaining friends and family. She joined the legion and took great pride in all the good work she did with them, cooking and organizing events. Mom’s last years were spent at the Shores in Kamloops where she had many friends.

Mom loved life, and had a great sense of humour. She was strong-willed and determined. She provided a wonderful home for her children and friends. She lived life as strong as she could. She will be missed by everyone who knew her.

The family wishes to extend heartfelt gratitude to all of mom’s health care providers.

No formal service by request.

Isabella Paulsen Isabella Paulsen, a longtime resident of Telkwa and a

familiar figure at the post office until her retirement there in 1982, has died in the Shuswap area at age 97.

Born Isabella Cathcart in Wayburn Sask., she moved to northern British Columbia with her family during the “Dirty Thirties.” Her parents took up a farm near Vanderhoof.

In Prince George, she met Thorvald Paulsen, who had immigrated to Canada from Denmark with his brother Bill in 1924. They first homesteaded in northern Alberta but they, too, had moved to B.C. in search of better economic opportunities during the 1930s.

Thorvald was working as a butter maker when he and Isabella got married and started their family — three daughters, one of whom died within days of her birth but who was never forgotten. Thorvald contracted tuberculosis and spent years in the sanitarium at Tranquille.

When he was released, minus a lung, he moved the family to Telkwa where he had bought a creamery with his partner Bill Kinney. Their Bulkley Valley Creamery butter, wrapped by Thorvald’s daughters Kathrine and Ellen, was well-known in the valley.

Thorvald was an active member of the community, serving as councillor, as a member of the Centennial Committee in 1967, and as chef for many years at the annual Telkwa barbecue. Besides working in the post office, Isabella kept busy with her church, providing meals and visits to some of the old bachelors who had logged, prospected and trapped the north in the early days.

Both took pride in their substantial garden. Thorvald had built a greenhouse for tomatoes and peppers and also had a small collection of fruit trees. On a crab apple he had grafted branches from other species so he was getting five different kinds of apples from the one tree.

When Dairyland built a large plant in Smithers, BC and outbid Thorvald for farmers’ production of milk, he closed Bulkley Valley Creamery and retired. Until his health failed and he was unable to get around much, he used to delight his grandchildren by taking them into the woods to forage, they would bring back a cardboard box full of ink cap mushrooms and Thorvald would cook them up for a mushroom feast.

After he died in 1988, Isabella sold their house on Highway 16 in the middle of Telkwa and bought a two-bedroom unit in a development in Sicamous, her first ever brand-new home. Her move brought her close to her daughter Ellen, who, with her husband Gary Ingham, had moved there from Prince Rupert when Gary retired from a plumbing and heating company. They wanted a place without a lot of rain.

Isabella, who had open-heart surgery and received a new heart valve in her 70s, maintained good physical health but her vision and her memory began to fail her. She passed away at Bastion Place in Salmon Arm on July 13, 2014. She leaves her daughters Kathrine (Barrie) and Ellen (Gary), grandchildren Tony (Carol), Tracy (John), Carol (Randy) and Janice, ten great-grandchildren and four great-great-grandchildren. No public service is planned.

Ronald McDonald House® BC is growing.

The new Ronald McDonald House BC opens in June. A home away from home for seriously ill children receiving treatment at BC Children’s Hospital, the new and bigger House has enough room to welcome 73 families every day, keeping 2,500 families per year together when it matters most.

111129672-1_RMH BC New House_BlackPress_2.8125x4.indd 1 5/14/14 9:47 AM

Have you ever found yourself engaged in a meaningful and inspir-ing conversation that you simply lose track of time. I met with Mary Doyle-Powell not long ago. Mary is a brilliant woman who works with Gifted Children in Ireland.

Mary told me “Gifted children have special needs that are unique. It is often said that “the cream rises to the top” but it is not true- even gifted children will not succeed on their own without help” Many people who ‘do not succeed’ are unsuccess-ful because they do not have someone simply believing in them and acknowledging them in their uniqueness. Every person needs someone else to draw out of them their potential.

Now stop and think about this for a minute

“Christians would be far more like Jesus if they focused on draw-ing out of people what God has already put in them rather than trying to put in what they think God has left out”

How many times do we take a ‘cream’ men-tality to our leader-ship development and people development? Maybe some of the greatest leaders in your group/class/organiza-tion are the quiet ones who don’t seem to fit

in or are hiding their giftedness to avoid be-ing isolated from their friends.

Those ones who make your job difficult and are somewhat a strain on your patience - they are probably the ones who could make a significant difference in your organization/community. Think for a moment about the beauty and wonder of God’s amazing Cre-ation. Every person created has a unique-ness to contribute to humanity [a special giftedness].

We must ask our-selves ...

• Does our value system embrace their unique-ness? ...

• Does it allow them to grow and discover who they are? ...

• or does it re-quire a certain conformity to fit into our ‘value currency’?

• Or are they sim-ply a commod-ity that can be exchanged in our human-econom-ic system?

• Who around you today needs you to draw out of them their God given potential?

4H Showmanship

Have you ever wondered how the 4Hers make their animals look so great and behaved at the Fall Fair time? Well, what if I told you it’s because we get a dress rehearsal.

Every May or June, 4H members with animal projects from all four clubs in the Bulkley Valley 4H District go to the BV Fall Fair grounds for Spring Show. 4H project animals (steer, sheep, pigs, rabbits, and poultry) are brought to the fair grounds for the first time to practise in showmanship classes.Because this is before the August BV Fall Fair and Exhibition, it

is like 4H’s version of a dress rehearsal.In 4H when you par-ticipate in showman-ship classes with large animals, it involves leading your animal around an area with or without a halter in front of a judge. The animal is not judged

on how close it is to a certain standard. Instead, the 4Her is judged on how well he or she shows off the animal and its best qualities. We groom and clip our animals, because we are judged on how good we are able to make our animal look. Good grooming and appear-ance is also important for the 4Her, which is why we have required show clothes. The judges look at how

we present ourselves and our animals, how well we are able keep control of them, and in some cases re-gain control of them, and on how focused we are on the judges while still being aware of how our animal is presenting.

When we are all done showing in our classes we get to take part in showing workshops given by experienced leaders and judges. This helps us better understand what judges are looking for and giving points for. They even give us tips and trick on how to present ourselves and our animals in the best possible way.

Remember this is what happens when showing large 4H animals. So to find out more about showmanship of small and large 4H animals I encourage you to come to the 2014 BV Fall Fair and Exhibi-tion and ask us 4Hers your questions.

Australian rocker coming to Kispiox Valley Music FestivalBy Marisca BakkerKispiox Valley/Interior News

Ash Grunwald is gearing up to play at The Kispiox Valley Music Festival this weekend.

“I’m best known for doing the one man band thing. It is very driving and makes a powerful sound with one person. It is music for dancing to and partying to. I have a kick drum on one foot, a snare for the other foot and if I can, I have a wall of amplifiers and away we go,” said the Australian rocker.

Grunwald’s bio says he plays anything from his own brand of swampy, stomp-box-driven Delta blues’ covers to keyboard heavy, Euro-pop-sounds to hip-hop.

He played the Fusion Festival in Surrey last weekend and will be in Whistler on Thursday.

After playing Kispiox, he will be at the Duncan Cowichan Festival the following weekend, then Port Alberni, Pender Island and Nanaimo.

“I’m really stoked to be playing some festivals in B.C.,” he said. “I’ve been working really hard for the past

couple of years, touring around B.C. trying to get something happening. I’m happy to start being accepted by the festivals and in general, a Canadian audience.”

In the past, he has opened for James Brown, Bo Diddly, the Black Keys and toured with Jack Johnson and Xavier Rudd.

He will be selling his self titled, 17-song compilation of his ‘best so far’ at the festivals.

This album includes songs from his early days playing blues covers and his signature song, entitled Dolphin Song about the day he was saved from a shark attack by a pod of dolphins.

He will be on the River stage on Saturday night at midnight. The full schedule for the weekend can be found at kvmf.ca.

THREE RIVERS REPORT

“There is very low impact potential for anything on fish-bearing waters. We’ve set up water quality monitoring stations downstream of the small drainage area that the expansion will be in so we will be able to track and monitor the changes,” said Saimoto.

The next step will be to go to request for proposals to

hire the landfill engineer to detail the plans so it can go to construction. It will hopefully be done and ready for use by 2017.

The total capital cost to expand the landfill, including converting the Kitwanga and Stewart landfills to transfer stations will be about $4.8 million. A federal grant brings that number down to just under $3 million. However,

Verna Wickie, treasurer for the RDKS, said residents won’t notice too much of a difference on their taxes because of a redistribution of costs.

There was also information at Thursday night’s open house about recycling.

“We look at different options for waste, basically waste diversion,” said Zero Waste outreach specialist

Kathryn Goodwin.She said that backyard

composting is a great idea. “On average, 30-40 per cent

of people’s household garbage is organics so we are trying to promote people to take that out is a huge component. Also, because when organics go to a landfill they create methane which is a potent greenhouse gas so keeping those out and putting them

back into the soil instead is a great option.”

The RDKS, along with the Skeena Ice Arena Association, ElectroRecycle and Encorp Return-It Electronics, also hosted an electronics round-up and barbecue on Saturday.

Residents were able to drop off things like kitchen appliances, computers and power tools to be recycled for free.
