Smithers Interior News, May 14, 2014

By Caitlin ClowKitwanga/Interior News

Traffic came to an abrupt stop on Highway 16 just west of Cedarvale on Sunday, after a man set his vehicle on fire and was swinging an axe at passing cars.

New Hazelton RCMP detachment commander Sgt. Jeff Pelley said police received reports of the man on the highway early in the afternoon. Pelley said he isn’t sure if the Hazelton man hit any vehicles.

When officers arrived at the scene the man fled to a driveway of a local

residence where, after a short negotiation, he surrendered to police without incident.

Bystanders explained that although the situation was unclear they saw a man in a white shirt running in and out of the treeline beside the highway.

One witness said the 39-year-old man had been talking with RCMP and said he would only speak to one specific officer.

More than 100 vehicles were lined up behind the RCMP blockade for more than an hour as they were told it could be another two to five-hour wait.

Earlier on Sunday

afternoon, The Interior News reporter Nolan Kelly received an unusual phone call from a Kitwanga man. He told Kelly that he had phoned the police to surrender, but only to RCMP officer Bradshaw.

The man said he was acting under “full civil disobedience,” and was in a “state of pervasion.”

He claimed he had been “persecuted by the state.” The caller said the “state had prevented him from wearing a kilt.”

The Interior News phoned local authorities to find out more information, but was told that no one by the name

he had provided Kelly with had called in.

There is no reported connection between the two incidents.

New Hazelton RCMP are recommending the 39 year old be charged with possession of a weapon dangerous to the public, assault with a weapon, intimidation by blocking a highway, arson and mischief.

Police are asking anyone who may have any information regarding this incident, or may have cell phone video footage, to please contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or the New Hazelton RCMP at 250-842-5244.

Contractor takes

on West Fraser

By Ryan JensenHouston/Interior News

A Burns Lake contractor is taking on West Fraser Forest Products in a dispute over ownership of a rail line near the Houston Forest Products mill.

Tahtsa Timber owner Klaus Posselt said he was fed up with being bullied by the forestry company over issues such as logging rates, changing terms of contracts and a general lack of communication.

On March 13, he took matters into his own hands and positioned an excavator over a rail line on his property located just off Highway 16 in Houston. West Fraser does not have an easement to the rail line and has no rights to it. Because of this, HFP has been unable to ship their product out by rail.

The action was the culmination of years of frustration of dealing with West Fraser, Posselt said.

When it was announced last year that HFP was shutting down, Posselt said he heard the information secondhand.

“When they shut down the mill, we heard it on the street,” he said.

“We’ve been a significant contractor for them for the last 18 years. Then we couldn’t get an answer from them on how it’s going to impact us and that dragged on for two months.”

On Friday, Posselt received a Notice of Motion to say West Fraser is seeking a special injunction allowing them access to the rail line.

He has until today to respond.

“They need to address the issues and give us some definitive answers,” Posselt said.

Contractor involved in rail line dispute“Logging is the largest

and most continuous business in our community and we’re in service to the big boys,” he said. “They say jump, and we do nothing but ask how high and when. Especially since they announced the [HFP] shutdown, they’ve been telling us how it’s going to be.

“They just run roughshod over everybody in so many ways. These guys are making huge profits and they’re in charge of a public resource.”

The rail line in question is on about 65 acres of

land purchased by Posselt about a year ago.

Posselt said his intention was to use the property for a new business venture and he believed the rail line would be an asset.

“I bought that property because I wanted rail access but I was afraid I wouldn’t be able to get it because I was told West Fraser owns it,” he said.

“When I investigated it, I discovered there’s no easement on the rail line, so it just belongs to the property owner.

West Fraser Forest Products did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Residents still opposed to pipelineBy Ryan JensenSmithers/Interior News

The answer is still no. That’s what more than

500 Bulkley Valley residents said loud and clear on Saturday morning as they gathered to voice their opposition, once more, to Enbridge’s proposed Northern Gateway pipeline.

A march and rally, organized by the Friends of Morice-Bulkley, began in front of the Office of the Wet’suwet’en before snaking down Main Street and ending at Bovill Square.

Wet’suwet’en hereditary chief Na’Moks was the first to address the large crowd.

“When I look at these beautiful children here I think we are doing the right thing and nobody can tell us we’re not,” he said.

Earlier this week, Chief Na’Moks travelled to Calgary with a group of other First Nations and northern B.C. residents to let their opposition be known at Enbridge’s annual general meeting.

“It was such a great opportunity to stand there and look at their CEO Al Monaco and make him nervous. Whether we were a small contingent or a large contingent, the fact is they understand British Columbia does not want that project,” he said.

“I wanted to reiterate to Enbridge shareholders that our traditional laws banned pipelines on our territory. These laws are older than those of Canada and we’re committed to upholding our laws.”

Stikine NDP MLA Doug Donaldson said while he

is convinced the project is more about money than the greater good, he also thinks if people in the region stand united against it, it will not proceed.

“There’s hope,” he said. “What we did, all of us

collectively, is forced this government into retreat on salmon farms, remember that? We’ve forced this government into retreat on coalbed methane drilling in the Sacred Headwaters, remember that? A tiny group of people in Kitimat, Douglas Channel Watch, they turned a major corporation and the BC Liberal government on its ear with a plebiscite a little while ago. So we can do it.

“We’re going to stand

with the Wet’suwet’en and the First Nations all across the northwest, all across B.C., to say, ‘No damn way is Enbridge going to happen.’”

Smithers Mayor Taylor Bachrach said he was proud to be a part of a community whose town council said ‘No’ to Northern Gateway and joined many other cities, towns and regional districts in northern B.C. in doing so,

“I don’t think there’s ever been a project in Canadian history that has posed so much risk and is opposed by so many and yet it seems that sometimes our voices aren’t being heard,” Bachrach said.

“We want our kids to inherit a world in which the fish still swim up the rivers

and in which they can drink the water right out of the ground, untreated, just like they do right here in the Town of Smithers.

“No matter how many glitzy, over the top, Orwellian television ads they bombard us with, we will never, ever, ever say ‘Yes’ to the Enbridge pipeline.”

Enbridge’s proposal is to build a twin 1,200-kilometre pipeline from Northern Alberta to Kitimat. One pipeline would transport up to 525,000 barrels of oil per day for transport to Asia through the Douglas Channel, the other would be used to carry condensate.

The federal government will make a decision on the project in the next month.

More than 500 Bulkley Valley residents came out to an anti-Enbridge rally Saturday.Caitlin Clow photo

A new 5 Star recycling centre is now open for business.

Like the hotel rating system, a 5 Star Depot aims to provide a clean, comfortable, returning experience to its customers. There is a demanding checklist that needs to be met in order for Encorp to certify a facility as a 5 Star location.

The bright and spacious facility will be he hub for all recycling needs including batteries, light bulbs, small appliances and electronics and of course, bottles and juice packs.

The $1 million, 6,800 square-foot facility will offer a space for customers to sort their cans and bottles before returning it for a refund. It also has a wash station to scrub that sticky stale beer off your hands afterwards.

Earnie Harding and Art Mortensen, directors of the Smithers and Area Recycling Society, explained that the main reason for the move was a lack of space.

The old warehouse was hard to keep clean, Harding explained, the new facility has “less dirt and more light.”

“The volume [of recyclables] has doubled in the last 5 years since we’ve owned the bottle depot,” Mortensen said.

Harding said that this new facility will enable a greater customer quality and will ultimately be able to hold more volume. 1,680 beer and pop cans can fit into one large bag enabling the crew to pack away more recyclables without taking up extra space.

Mortensen and Harding are a bit nervous about being the new home of the curbside recycling program because they are unsure of what, and how much to expect.

“It will definitely be a learning curve,” Harding said.

“It will be a big change for us,” added Mortensen.

Over the years, Harding and Mortensen said they have seen some strange things recycled including two dead dogs and a moose head.

“It’s an easy way to get rid of it I guess,” Harding said.

The facility is entirely paid for by the Smithers and Area Recycling Society, but due to its 5 Star rating the team can expect up to $10,000 annually from Encorp for maintenance and upkeep.

High Road Services Society, another organization that Harding and Mortensen are involved with, will be involved as well offering positions to those with special needs in commercial shredding.

The large facility will be home to the Smithers and Area Recycling Society, as well as other businesses and even a family. There will be a modern three-bedroom apartment for

The Smithers Lions club is turning 50. Fifty years of volun-teers serving Smithers and area, � fty years of a heritage of giving. In all that time many of the iconic land-marks of Smithers were either initiatives of the Lions club or supported with funds and manpower. For example many may not know that the Alpenhorn Man at the east end of Main street was bought and brought to Smithers by the Lions club. The rail car near to the Bulkley Valley Museum, currently the home of CICK Community radio was a Lions project to commemorate the railway’s contribution to Smithers. The mort-gage on the BV Child Development Centre was paid off with the help of the BC Lions

Society for Children with Disabilities. The Playground equipment at Princess Park was purchased and in-stalled by the Smithers Lions. There are many many more projects that have been headed up or supported by your Smithers Lions club.

The ever popular an-nual Jam Pail curling event has deep roots in Smithers. Back in the day the curling rocks were indeed made of a concrete � lled jam pail, over the years that transitioned though plastic water � lled rocks to the pres-ent day where kids en-joy learning the game with small sized easily handled and durable curling stones. They become pro� cient in short order. The Smithers Lions Club has been supporting

the event for the past four decades and has seen hundreds of kids in Smithers try their hand at the sport over the years.

The Alpine Man, the signature statue at the east end of main street was purchased around 1973. It originally stood outside the Edelweiss Motel in Rock Creek. After the motel burned down local Lion Andy Stalk-er traced the statue to the owner in Christina Lake and purchased it on behalf of the Lions to donate to the town. After an adventurous trip back to Smithers and some refurbish-ment it was installed where it stands today, the signature symbol for Smithers.

There are and contin-ue to be many proj-ects, worthwhile events

and legacies that enjoy the generous support of the Smithers Lions Club. A club with a long heritage where member ship allows you to give back to the community. Being a Lion ensures you an entry into a group of ready made friends should you travel or move to other places, anywhere in the prov-ince, country or the world.

The Lions will be celebrating the � ftieth anniversary of their charter with a ban-quet taking place this Saturday from six pm at the Seniors Activity Centre. Tickets may still be available for those who wish to en-joy the camaraderie of the Smithers Lions. To learn more call John at 250.847.4478

In a pristine corner of northwestern B.C. called the

Klappan, a drama is unfolding that might seriously compromise the relationship between First Nations and the booming natural resource sector in B.C.

The 4,000-square kilometre region southeast of Iskut is called the Sacred Headwaters by Tahltan people because it is the source of three wild salmon rivers—the Skeena, Nass and Stikine—and because it has been full of life for thousands of years.

Our territory is also rich in mineral and energy resources

and that has led to both success stories and conflict as the province and private companies have sought to exploit the natural resources of our territory.

Our people support responsible development that protects the environment and respects Tahltan rights and traditional uses.

Companies that understand this, and that commit to working with us in deciding how to use the resources of our territory, have thrived. We have partnerships with AltaGas on the Forrest Kerr, Volcano and McLymont power projects. We

are working closely with Imperial Metals on its Red Chris copper mine, and we have supported the construction of the Northwest Transmission Line into our territory.

However, companies that do not respect our nation’s stewardship responsibilities for the Klappan have faced conflict. In 2012, Shell Canada gave up its gas tenures in the Sacred Headwaters after a seven-year fight with our nation. Now, Fortune Minerals is at risk of failing to learn the same lesson. Fortune is trying to push ahead with its Arctos Anthracite Coal

Project, an open-pit coal mine at Mount Klappan. To move the coal, they want to rebuild an abandoned railway that will cut right through the heart of the Klappan and open up our territory to more development.

Our people are united in their desire to protect the Klappan from the impacts of Fortune’s would-be project. We have clearly communicated this to Fortune, and asked them to respect our nation’s stewardship role and invest its resources elsewhere. Despite this, the company continues to try to promote Arctos in our communities, including the distribution of videos that suggest working together would be a “win-win for both sides.” These efforts do not build support for their project. Rather, they strengthen our people’s resolve to

save Mount Klappan from destruction.

Fortune’s actions pose risks for not only their project, but also for development elsewhere in our territory. If our values and rights aren’t protected and respected in critical areas such as the Sacred Headwaters, conflict could become the norm, not the exception. Fortune needs to learn what Shell finally acknowledged in 2012 – without the support of our nation, their project will remain a dream on some office room drawing board.

We all need to work together to protect our values in critical areas

while building a sustainable economic future. We have demonstrated our willingness, readiness and capacity to move forward with companies and the province on projects that respect that vision. That is the blueprint for the future, and our people will continue to resist companies and projects that don’t truly embrace this vision.

Annita McPhee is in her third term as president of the Tahltan Central Council. She is a powerful advocate for advancing the social, cultural and economic prosperity of First Nations in Canada.

Pipelines to have devastating impactEditor:

I wish to say a few words to the proposed right-of-way projects for both the Enbridge and Pacific Trail pipelines.

Both will open new areas and will have a devastating impact not only on ungulate species but also on guide-outfitters and trappers utilizing these areas.

Road access will make it possible for anyone with a decent vehicle to get into now inaccessible areas.

Such right-of-ways will be used as jump-off points for ATVs and snowmobiles to get deeper into the backcountry, harass more wildlife, create wolf-highways and litter.

Established guide-outfitters and trappers will see a rapid destruction of their areas, camps raided and possibly burned down.

Who will compensate both guides and trappers for their losses?

Enbridge? Chevron or Apache? The B.C. government, with all the millions it will not make in oil and gas royalties?

My guess is nobody will pay one cent to people and families losing their livelihood!

Through my work in the forest industry I come across cabins in already semi-accessible areas that are broken into, damaged or burned. Most often empty alcohol containers and spent shell casings litter the area around such cabins.

Must everything be destroyed, maimed and killed so a few can make large profits?

Anton Seif Telkwa

Sneaky politicians

Editor: I noticed Nathan

Cullen’s website has a two-year-old article about a small amount of oil which he says is believed to have leaked from a US army transport vessel which sank in Grenville Channel south of Prince Rupert in 1946. The federal department of Fisheries and Oceans estimates it is about one cup of oil. Ships, fishing vessels, and boats of all types may periodically leak a tiny amount of oil. It is hard to see how one cup of oil in Grenville Channel is a threat to the environment.

But politicians will often use whatever they can get their hands on to try to get some mileage for their cause.

Bulkley Valley Exhibition going

aheadEditor:

The Bulkley Valley Exhibition will take place this year as it has been happening in the past.

Many of the plans are already in place. The directors, the staff, and many volunteers are continuing to work diligently as they have been for the past five months preparing for “95 years of Horsing Around,” at this year’s fall fair. We have a wonderful line-up of

entertainment, rodeo, livestock, hall exhibits, 4H youth, light horse and many other great events in the planning stage.

The remaining directors of the BVAIA are proceeding with the Society’s business as guided by our Constitution and will shortly return to our full compliment of nine directors of the BVAIA.

Our prize books are printed and will soon be circulated to numerous locations for pickup.

See you at the fair! BVAIA Directors

BVAIA needs another special

meetingEditor:

I am a member in good standing of the Bulkley Valley Agricultural and Industrial Association, and served on the board of directors for nine years.

I also attended the April 26 special general meeting of the BVAIA. The agenda that was sent out to all members showed the meeting as purely discussion. I’ve

spoken with many members who did not attend the meeting, as they felt they had no concerns with how the BVAIA is operating and that there were no decisions being made at that time. Some of the members in attendance came in and wanted to push a vote. It was suggested to wait for three weeks until all members could be notified so they could have an opportunity to vote. This suggestion was turned down. This was not the right thing to do. Jan McClary spoke as if she represented the entire membership and I do not believe she does.

The current board of directors was elected in February. As members, we elected them to do what is best for the association. In all the years of the BVAIA, the board has appointed their own delegates to the Fall

Fair Management Committee. In politics, like the Town of Smithers, the council decides which councillors will sit on specific committees.

Two of the directors that the membership elected, Gina DeHoog and Charlie McClary, both are in conflict of interest as they both have very close ties with other user groups of the fairgrounds. During my time on the board, I have experienced both the “working board” and “governance board” models, and felt the governance model respected all users and people involved with the Fall Fair. With a working board, when a conflict of interest is present, the only issues and groups who were heard are those which the directors are a part of.

I feel there should be another special meeting, where all members are informed and able to put forth motions. I also believe the vacant seats should be filled by election of the membership, not appointed by the remaining board of directors.

I have always felt the BVX belongs to everyone, whether a volunteer, sponsor, exhibitor or guest. I encourage you to become a member of the BVAIA, voice your opinion and stand up for democracy.

I personally, as a former board member, a member of the BVAIA, and as the livestock coordinator of the Bulkley Valley Exhibition have been very happy with the direction of the governance board and am very sorry to see it gone.

Geel provides employment

Editor: When LNG

opinions extend to criminal acts.

Geel Enterprises Incorporated (GEI) is an aboriginal owned and operated business providing much needed-employment in the Hazelton area. GEI recently started a sub-contract under the Gitxsan Development Corporation to do preliminary groundwork such as build helicopter and drill pads on the territory for the TransCanada PRGT pipeline.

Last week one of our employees parked his vehicle at the Gitanmaax Gas Bar while they went out into the field. When he returned his vehicle had been vandalized by somebody who scratched NO LNG on his door. The next day he moved his vehicle to private property to prevent further

vandalism but it did not deter somebody from scratching his vehicle again. Another employee was harassed for wearing our company jacket. I am also away of a threat made about another employee if he goes on the territory without permission. We ensure we have the permission before we begin work.

We are all entitled to have our own opinions but you have crossed a line when to start to vandalise personal property, harass and threaten people’s lives who may be working on a project. This is not acceptable and are criminal acts.

Catherine BlackstockHereditary Chief

Geel/President

Afraid of a

Sign?Editor:

A sign is a way of expressing in writing, for others to see, a view on issues. One such issue is the “YES” signs that were placed in a

couple of locations near Highway 16. There are numerous other signs along the Highway 16 corridor coming into the Smithers area.

I have noticed over the years that some of those signs are never vandalized. Others, because of a difference in opinion are constantly vandalized. A couple of signs have constantly been vandalized, such as the signs on abortion, and the other is the “YES to Jobs” signs.

The others remain untouched.

Why is that? Are some people so frightened by a difference of opinion, expressed by way of signs, that they have to sneak around in the dark of night with bamboo poles and “leak proof” tar to vandalize the “YES to jobs” signs? These signs do not reflect any thing other than some people want jobs for our younger generation.

There must be a medical term for people who are so

frightened by signs and a difference of opinion that they feel compelled to destroy signs that have different views than theirs. Some non-medical terms come to mind such as cowards, vandals, and terrorists. Some of those non-medical terms may be a little harsh but I would like to remind those who are compelled to destroy other peoples’ properties because they view things differently, that you may have accomplished your “mission” under the cover of darkness but the thoughts are still with those who feel differently than you.

Do you honestly think that “signs” cause people to think differently?

To those damaging property over a point of view, I only hope one day you will wake up and realize it’s OK to have a difference of opinion. It would be a pretty boring world if we all thought the same.

NEWSOn Tuesday, April 15th, 2014, at the regular meeting of the Board of Education, School District #54 (Bulkley Valley) resolved to give notice of closure of the Bulkley Valley Learning Centre (BVLC) building due to no student enrollment at this facility. This motion activated a sixty day consultation period that will conclude with a final decision by the Board in early July. This decision to close the BVLC building is due to a district reorganization of student programs, where the students now attend NWCC and there is no longer a need for this facility.There is a plan for further opportunities for public comment to the Board. Public input to the Board will be accepted throughout this 60 day review period. In addition, there will be a public meeting with the Board of Education and District Administration at the school board office on Monday, June 2, 2014 at 7 pm. Public input can also be provided to the Board through email or by written submission. Submissions can be addressed to the Dave Margerm, Secretary Treasurer. For more information please call the School Board Office at 250-877-6820.

Discovering beautiful B.C. in a classic car adventureOnly mad dogs and Englishmen drive open top cars in the extremely chilly B.C. high country at this time of year.But taking part in the three-day Hagerty Spring Thaw rally, staged by Classic Car Adventures, certainly turned on this Limey to the idea of a B.C. summer ‘staycation’ on roads that show natural beauty at its awe inspiring best.Since my old U.K. friend, George Holt, moved to Gabriola Island a few years ago, he’s pestered me to join him on a rally. Wild tales of his racing exploits persuaded me that my participation might make it the last wish on my buck-et list. Literally.When Hagerty Insurance invited me to take part in the non-competitive rally for pre-1979 touring and sports cars, covering almost 1,100 kilometres, I fig-ured this was the time to invite George.“I’m up for it, Sid, and I have the perfect car,” George responded. You get used to him calling every male, Sid, and female, Doris. He worked day and night to ready his 1954 XK 120 Jaguar roadster – it rolled off the production line in the same year I did. It cranks out 200 horses from an inline straight-six cylinder 3.4-litre engine housed under that long hood. The gleaming blue roadster with a large number 54 emblazoned on each side drew much attention at the rally start point in Squamish. The warming sun showed off the almost 80 other classics to their best, too. There were Alfa Romeos, many Minis circa mid-1960s, Porsches, Jags, MGs, Aston Martins – including a stunning 1934 Mk II owned by a gentleman from the same neck of the woods as George and me – plus a rare Noble M400.

We donned many layers of clothing, including leather aviator jackets and fetching, matching yellow helmets, then strapped in. George at the wheel, me by his side as his nagivator. We pulled out on the Sea to Sky highway and that journey to Whistler brought tears to my eyes, as did the rushing wind. The twisty Duffey Lake Road beyond Pemberton was no challenge for the mighty Jag. It stuck like glue to the hairiest hairpins down to Seton Lake. A rest stop at that watery stretch of tranquility brought the sounds of silence to our ears.George broke the silence: “It goes like stink, Sid.” I completed his sentence. “And stops eventually.” Recalling a recent bit of hard braking that had me worried for a while.It was then on to Cache Creek and des-ert country before climbing to the snow line towards Logan Lake where my face froze. The shower at the Kamloops hotel

brought back some colour to my cheeks.The second day would take us by Monte Lake and Falkland and on to Vernon – in the pouring, icy rain. The rains stopped as we stopped to look at a ‘car graveyard’ where rusty examples of steel steeds past caught George’s eye. “Look, Sid, my first car – a Ford Prefect.” I then misdirected us to a second graveyard near Arm-strong, populated by Sunbeams, Hillman and even old Zodiacs. He took careful note of the location so that he might return for his next restoration project.The sun peeped out as we were welcomed by the rug-ged northern end of the Okanagan Valley. We buzzed along the Lake Country lanes that run alongside Okanagan Lake, between the vineyards.

Then we bypassed Kelowna and headed for Beaver-dell, admiring the evidence of the now defunct historic Kettle Valley railway. Then the chilling hail hit but a single glass of beer at Rock Creek restored us. We weaved our way north along the valley, through wine country, to Penticton.“Piece of cake,” said George the next day as he looked at the route to Hope. The winding back road trail to Princeton was a joy but the last stretch home was not.First, we were hit by snow, then hail that numbed our faces as we descended from Manning Park. I thought I had made a significant anatomical discovery when it appeared that the icy wind blasting up my right nostril seemed to exit through my left ear. Of course, it could have been the hole in the left side of my helmet.There was one other little challenge. The panel failed so I had to peer at my handheld GPS to figure out what speed we were doing then shout at the top of my voice when George exceeded the posted limit.We made it safe and sound. “Next year, Sid?” “I’ll get back to you, George.”

You’ve got your license, you’ve got your proper gear, now all you need is your motorcycle. Here are a few things to consider before signing on the dotted line.BudgetEstablishing a budget is probably the most important thing to outline when it comes to your new ride. If you’re buying used, this is particularly important. You might be tempted to spend an extra couple of thou-sand on the bike of your dreams. But if the dream bike just happens to be a nightmare and costs you an unanticipated fortune on repairs, you might find yourself in a pickle. New or Used?There are differing benefits to buying new or used. New bikes have warranties, but a used bike that might not be too old could still have one. Is buying either way better than the oth-er? Not necessarily. Buying used you could get a more upscale model for your budget.Private Sale or from a Dealership?Speaking from experience, buying through a private sale can be a good way to go, especially on a budget. I found my bike on Craigslist. But if you can’t pay cash up front, dealers generally have financing or payment plan options. Private sales don’t. Dealers also have most likely done a tune-up or some service in preparing the bike for the sale. Check the VIN through ICBC or a Trusted Database It might cost you a few extra dollars to run a bike’s VIN through a trusted database but can save you multiple headaches in the end. It will show if the bike has been in any reported acci-dents and detail the damage. It’ll also show if there is money owing on the bike or if it was reported stolen. Keep in mind, if the bike is from out of the country, the record likely won’t show.When I went to buy my first bike, I had my heart set on a beautiful Yamaha R6. It looked brand new and per-fect. The seller said it had never been in any accidents and had all original parts. I left thinking that the next day I’d be riding this beauty home. However, I paid my $20 (at the time) and found out the bike had been in two accidents with damage costs of more than $3,000. If you’re buying through a dealership, they might even have the bike’s history on hand for you. It never hurts to double check.The Myth of DisplacementsMany new riders like to set a cap on the cc displace-ment they’re willing to get for their first bike. I had a reader write me asking what he should get. He’s 6’2”, 220 pounds and had long limbs. He didn’t want anything higher than a 250cc though. I asked him why. He said he wanted something manageable for his first bike. With long arms and legs, a 250cc bike wasn’t going to fit him! Or vice versa. I told him to look at cruisers, like the Harley-Davidson Sportster, Honda Shadow, Suzuki Boulevard S40, Yamaha Bolt. They might have a higher displacement but they’re going to be easy to manage and work much better with his body. What did he buy? A used 2006 Honda Shadow 750cc. And he loves it. I recommend buying a bike that you are comfortable on, both physically and mentally.Test RidesPrivate sellers won’t generally let you test ride, but ask. Dealers are more open to this, especially with newer models because they have demo fleets. Mechanical Inspection If you’re buying used, and you are this close to making

the decision, before you go to the bank and give up your savings, spend an extra $100-$200 to get a motorcycle mechanic to look at your potential purchase. Private sellers will generally ride the bike down to a location of your choice and let the mechanic work their magic. The mechanic will then let you know what things might need to be worked on in the near or distant future. If the seller thinks it’s too much work, then it’s your call if you want to continue to work with them. I wouldn’t buy a bike without knowing what I’m getting [email protected]

Buying the right motorcycle

for the right price

‘‘Establishing a budget is probably the most important thing to outline when it comes to your new ride.’’Alexandra Straub

When you head out to buy your motorcycle, Alexandra Straub advises arrive armed with a budget and stick to it.

Madison Richter is a national champion.

The 10-year-old bantam bowler from Smithers reached the pinnacle of five-pin youth bowling in Canada last weekend, after posting a 17-5 record at nationals in Winnipeg, en route to a gold medal at the event.

“It was pretty cool to win,” Richter said. “It was a great experience. I went there to have fun and it ended up going really well.”

The event featured provincial winners from across the nation, competing in a round-robin tournament, with the winningest bowler at the end, coming out

on top.Things didn’t start

well for Richter, though. She began with a loss and a score of 160, 35 points below her average for the tournament.

“After that game, I thought she probably wouldn’t have a chance to win it,” her mother, Karmen Richter said. “But she was composed and maintained the entire tournament.”

Madison’s biggest win came on the second-to-last day of competition. She trailed heading into the final frame of a must-win game against Newfoundland, but dug deep and came up with three straight strikes to pull off the victory.

“That was probably my

favourite game,” Madison said. “I didn’t feel like there was a lot of pressure because I knew it was going to be hard.”

On the final day, Madison wrapped up the national title before lunch time.

After the win, Madison and her family were too tired to celebrate. It was an exhausting tournament that saw Madsion play eight to 10 games a day.

“It was really tiring,” Madison said. “At the end, I had to rest-up.”

The win marked the end of a long series of big wins for Richter. She won zones back in January and provincials in Abbotsford last March.

It’s a lot to take

in.“We weren’t

expecting it all,” Karmen said.

“It was a huge accomplishment to win zones and make it to provincials. Then, to come away with the national title, I don’t even know what to say. It’s still shocking.”

Her coach, Cynthia Bergen was equally impressed.

“We have a huge zone up here in the north and that isn’t easy to win,” Bergen said. “Making it to provincials is a big thing. Beating the best bowlers in the country is something else altogether.”

Perhaps more remarkable than Richter’s title, she only started bowling two years ago.

Now, with the bantam title in hand, Richter will turn

her attention to the junior division.

She’ll continue to work on improving her strength, but, according to the national coaches in attendance, her form and aim are unparalleled for her age.

She has offers to join a club from Prince George and will likely train with one of her provincial coaches when the Richter family heads there in the summer.

“With her ability and her drive, I can see her going as far as she wants to,” Bergen said.

League youth bowling is finished for the season in Smithers, but the alley is offering a youth bowling league, where youngsters can bowl two games a week for free.

Gryphons win golf zones by 83 strokes over Kitimat

The Smithers Secondary golf team is off to provincials after a dominating performance at zones last weekend that saw each of their five golfers place first through fifth at the event.

After day one the team of Rhys Wilson, Riley Coish, Mitch Turko and Kaleb Gorbahn held a 39-stroke lead over

their counterparts from Kitimat. They finished the final round on day two, 83 strokes ahead.

Gorbahn posted the best score of the weekend, with rounds of 75 and 71 (146). Right behind him were Rhys Wilson (79-81=160), Riely Coish (77-79=156), Mitch Turko (84-79=163) and Jacob Cachia (79-81=160).

“It was a very good weekend for the Smithers Secondary golf team,” head coach Dana Gorbahn said.

“We put in the most dominant and impressive performance that I have seen in the northwest zone since I began coaching nine years ago.”

The team will head to Qualicum for provincials from May 25-27. Last year they finished fifth in the province and with a more veteran, deeper squad, expectations are high.

“I am hoping for a top-three finish, but it’s golf, so you never

know what’s going to happen. If we shoot the scores we are capable of, we could win it all. The boys are playing extremely well and they should be in the hunt.

“We have to keep doing the things we do right – focus on the process and not the results.

“If we take it one shot at a time and give it all the attention it deserves and accept whatever results come our way, we will do quite well.”

SSS boys and girls rugby teams qualify for provincialsBy Nolan KellySmithers/Interior News

Both the boys and girls rugby teams scored big wins over the weekend at their zones and have qualified for provincial tournaments as a result.

The Smithers senior boys team won comprehensive victories over Terrace and Burns Lake on Friday and Saturday morning and finished off the weekend with a 25-5 win over Houston to secure a

place in provincials.Top scorers

included winger Aiden Watson, hooker Matt Carrier and newcomer, inside centre Tristan Logan. Fly half Keaghan Foster also scored a brilliant drop goal at the tournament.

In a tightly contested game, the Smithers girls played Vanderhoof for a wildcard spot at provincials, eventually coming out on top 17-5.

In true rugby fashion, the two teams compared battle scars during

a movie and pizza night, hosted by the SSS girls, after the match.

The following morning, the girls began the day with their most lopsided victory of the tournament, a 39-0 drubbing of Williams Lake, before dropping their final match, 25-5 to Houston.

Stephanie Wilson led the way with four tries and a conversion. Ashlee Cocklin finished with two tries and two conversions and Shelby Anderson added two tries as

well.“I was pretty

happy with the performance of both teams,” head coach Cobus Jonker said.

The girls will travel to Port Alberni on May 20th, returning on the 25th. The boys team is undecided if they will be able to attend provincials, due to a lack of money.

“It’s a shame, but we lack the funding to do both,” Jonker said. “I didn’t foresee that both the teams would be going to provincials in one season.”

The Smithers Secondary Gryphons girls soccer team is going to provincials after an undefeated weekend at zones in Kitimat.

“It was a great effort from the girls,” head coach Brian Irvine said. “The girls played their hearts out, they worked hard and played a team game all the way through.”

The Gryphons had their most dominating performance of the tournament in their first game, with a pass-heavy attack that led to a 3-0 win over Prince Rupert.

From there, the defence took over. They tallied back-to-back 1-0 wins over Kitimat and Terrace on Saturday to post a 3-0 record over the tournament.

“The other teams just didn’t have a lot of scoring opportunities,” Irvine said.

“The team and our goalies played great defence and we managed to keep the ball in our opponents end and control the

play.”It was the girls’

seventh straight game without a loss to open up the 2014 season.

Now, the girls will gear up for provincials, which take place in Penticton in two

week’s time. They’ll try to get

an extra practice or two in before then in order to get themselves ready.

But with a long weekend coming up, and with all the usual end-of-school-year activities, it’s always

hard to squeeze extra training time in.

For a team from the north, with such a short season, going up against teams that play all year long, the just gaining experience is a victory.

“We always want to win, but more importantly, we want these girls to continue to develop as players and to develop a love for the game.

“Going down to provincials will expose them to a higher, more exciting level of play and help them elevate their games.”

Sixteen teams from various zones across the province will be represented in Penticton.

“Our boys have had some success there in the past, so hopefully we can go down there and surprise a few people.”

Gryphons win zones, go undefeated


The Mz. Judged pageant is back for 2014.

The Northern Society for Domestic Peace, in conjunction with the Hudson Bay Lodge, will hold the third, bi-annual Mz. Judged pageant this November.

The competition features men that will dress in drag and strut their stuff in eveningwear and

bathing suits. They will also have to impress the judges during the talent competition.

“We are hoping for a great turnout and hoping to put on a great event,” organizer Carol Seychuk said.

“We want to thank our past contestants and encourage new people to come out, have some fun and do something positive for their community.”

2012 winner Cache Harris, aka ‘Boom

Boom Raven,’ will be judging the upcoming event.

“It’s a great cause for a local society,” Harris said. “And I’ve never laughed that hard in my life.”

Harris won with his Evolution of Dance talent.

Tickets will go on sale later in the year. This time around they will be limiting the amount each person can buy.

“It was very popular last time and we sold out really

quickly,” Seychuk said. “People bought in huge quantities and some people weren’t able to get any.”

Seychuk hopes the event will raise somewhere between $25,000 and $50,000. The last event raised $30,000.

The society is now accepting applications for contestants.

All proceeds from the event support programs that address domestic violence in Smithers.


Presenter and motivational speaker Myles Himmelreich visited Smithers last week, to share the story of his life and his experiences living with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder.

He hopes that, raising awareness about the disorder will bring positive changes to those afflicted.

During his presentations, Himmelreich uses props to simulate what having FASD is like.

“I use bubbles and noisemakers, and I get someone to write something on the board, then I change the instructions.”

The technique illustrates what those suffering from FASD have to deal with on a daily basis.

“Sometimes there is too much information for people with FASD to process. You have all these smells, the feeling of the clothes on your body, the lights in the room. All of these things make it very difficult to concentrate.

“You’re learning all these things, but they aren’t fitting into different categories or files, so you can’t retrieve it easily.”

The sensory overload can make it difficult for younger kids with FASD to concentrate in class.

“I call it bubble trouble. It’s like there are all these bubbles moving around in your body. The teacher sees you squirming around and thinks you aren’t concentrating.”

Himmelreich doesn’t blame the teachers, but thinks that the

school system could do a better job of helping kids suffering from FASD.

“Teachers may have 35 kids in their classrooms, and they simply don’t have time to give to that one student who needs the extra attention. Kids with FASD have had success in special needs programs and I think we need

more of that.”Difficulties in class can have

long-term consequences.“Students then fall behind, or

don’t fit in. They then graduate, or leave school early, unprepared for life as an adult. We are sending kids with FASD out into the world at 17 years old, but they are functioning at an 11- or 12-year-

old level.”People with FASD are then

more likely commit crimes and suffer from drug addiction.

Later this year, Himmelreich will travel to Norway to speak at a doctor’s conference on the physical affects of FASD.

“A lot of the focus has been on the mental aspects of FASD, but it also affects your bones, your muscles and your tissues.”

“So when a kid is too tired to walk, it’s because their bones haven’t developed the same. We need to understand it and when we don’t fully understand the disease everyone assumes the problem is behavioural.

“FASD is a full body diagnosis. It affects the whole body and so, understanding that part of it is important.”

Himmelreich currently resides in Calgary, Alberta. During his week in the northwest, he travelled to schools and community centres, from Houston to Hazelton

Himmelreich started public speaking when a friend asked him to address a local conference on FASD in his hometown of Calgary.

“Public speaking came really easy to me. I have been doing it for a few years now and I guess word has spread.”

Somehow it feels like as a province we do not have a say in what happens federally. Recently a key question on abolishing the Senate was answered by the Supreme Court of Canada that said the consent of all the provinces would be necessary. There are times when changes

are made to our country and it feels like we were never asked if we wanted that change. This decision to ask us feels right.

Need a Crutch?

Pride goes before the fall. I experienced that first hand when I was in College. I was talking to another student and somehow the topic of sprained ankles came up. I told him that I grew up play-ing hockey which gives you strong ankles. Wrong thing to say! Within 2 weeks, I sprained my ankle so severely that I had to use crutches for a while. Crutches are useful when you can’t put any weight on your foot or ankle.

Some people be-lieve that Christian-ity or religion is just a crutch for people who can’t cope. In-stead of standing on your own two feet and forging your own way in life, you have to rely on God or a belief system to prop you up. The real question is not whether Christian-ity is a crutch or not but are you crippled?

Jesus told a par-able of two men who went into the temple to pray. The Pharisee thanked

God for what a good person he was – self-sufficient and self-reliant (no need of a crutch). The tax-collector wouldn’t even look up to heaven, but beat his breast and said, “God be mer-ciful to me a sinner.” He recognized his inability to be what God wanted and called out to God for mercy. Jesus concluded that the tax-collector was the one who went home justified rather than the Pharisee.

It would prob-ably be a shock to you that one of the most quoted Bible verses, “God helps those who help themselves” is actually not in the Bible. In fact, its message is just the opposite. God helps those who cannot help themselves by extending love, forgiveness, and strength.

So I freely ac-knowledge that I need a crutch, because I am spiri-tually crippled and need God’s help and mercy.

Faith Matters

Submitted by the Smithers Ministerial Association

By Marisca BakkerSmithers/Interior News

Laura Mackay, and a few members of her family are hiking to the top of Africa’s highest peak to raise money for the B.C. Children’s Hospital.

Mackay is a mother of five, a part time teacher and is training to tackle Kilimanjaro. She has teamed up with a non-profit group called Summit of Hopes to do the fundraising climb. The organization takes people all over the world to climb mountains to raise money and awareness for the children’s hospital in Vancouver.

Mackay is embarking on this expedition for the ongoing care her youngest daughter receives at the children’s hospital. Two years ago, at the age of five months, her daughter Emma had open heart surgery.

“Summit of Hopes brings together people with similar interests, we are all interested in helping B.C. Children’s and then we are interested in doing an adventure,” she said,

“We are doing this for Emma. We go down twice a year for follow ups and she may need another heart surgery in the future because she has one valve that isn’t working properly, so how could we not give back?”

Mackay added the care, compassion and support her

family receives made it clear the hospital is a very special facility.

Mackay’s parents, Dennis and Edith, and her oldest daughter, Katie Humble, are also joining her for the hike. This is the first time Summit of Hopes will have three generations climb at the same time.

They each need to raise $5,000. The money they collect goes directly to the children’s hospital. They have paid for the trip out of their own pockets. So far, the family has brought in about $1000 at a benefit concert with the help of musician Mark Perry. Their next fundraiser will be a BBQ at BV Wholesale on May 31. A raffle is also being held on that day. A couple of local businesses have donated a tablet, a digital camera and a remote controlled car.

Donations are also being accepted online at www.summitsofhope.com/climbers. Laura, Dennis, Edith and Katie’s profiles are on the site and people can click on whose campaign they’d like to donate to.

The four leave for Africa on Oct. 6 2014.

Dallas Smith headlines 102nd Telkwa BBQ

By Ryan JensenTelkwa/Interior News

The musical lineup for the 102nd Annual Telkwa BBQ is smoking hot.

Last week, the Kinsmen announced Loverboy would headline the rock night, along with opening band Kenny Shields and Streetheart.

Today, the Bulkley Valley service organization made

it official: Dallas Smith is headlining the country night, with opening act One More Girl.

“It’s going to be a great weekend,” said Kinsmen treasurer Mike Henfrey. “We’re really lucky to have him. He’s an up-and-coming artist and he’s quite the performer.”

A B.C. boy, Smith spent years at the front of another band, Default, selling more than one million records before turning to country music.

In 2012, he released his Canadian country debut, Jumped Right In, which earned him five 2013 Canadian Country Music Association award nominations.

Smith just finished touring with Florida Georgia Line.

One More Girl is made up of West Coast sisters Britt and Carly McKillip.

Carly, interestingly enough, is quite familiar with the Bulkley Valley as she played the starring

role in CTV’s short-lived 2006 series Alice, I Think, based on Smithers’ author Susan Juby’s book of the same name.

One More Girl’s single Drunk Heart is currently receiving radio play and they will be releasing a new album later this year.

Tickets for both nights go on sale June 1 at Bulkley Valley Insurance Services locations in Smithers and Houston, Bulkley Valley Credit Union locations, Total

Floors and Midway Service. General admission tickets

for each night are $35, preferred seating is $45.

The Telkwa Barbecue Country Night is sponsored by Hawkair, Glacier Electric, Coast Mountain GM and All-West Glass.

The Kinsmen are still looking at hiring more local acts for the event. Go to the Telkwa BBQ Facebook page for more information.

CHECK US OUT ONLINEinterior-news.comCommon snipe is out

Sunny days! What can be better than this? The

birds think so, too. This morning the hummingbirds were very busy. If you don’t have any of those little birds to watch come out to the Midway Café and see the great numbers there. Mind you that is a bit far for the northeastern birders.

Also today I had a very noisy pair of sapsuckers. They have been seen in the northeast as well. Out by the community trails.

This is such a busy time for all of you. Gardening has taken a front seat for many of us.

For me it is mostly cleaning up leaves, etc. I also had to remember to get the gas out of my snow blower. I was told I could put in stabilizer. I decided I would take out the gas. I used a turkey baster. Worked great. I know I could siphon the gas out but I had an idea I would suck up too much gas.

Marjory was asking which trees or shrubs I thought might be the best for the birds. Also have to consider the cold winters. The best I have found is the mountain ash and cotoneaster. Both have flowers and berries. The cotoneaster works well for a hedge.

I see the yellow warblers are here now. Warblers arrive and the cowbirds are here as well. Warblers lose many of their own to the patristic ways of the cowbirds.

The tanagers have arrived in this area. A reader from Topley saw a couple. I look forward to seeing that

bird as well. If they do show up they will be more than pleased if you cut an apple in half. Poke a hole through the apple and spear it to a tree branch.

Did you hear it? The common snipe is out there doing that winnowing sound. Seldom do I see that bird but it is out there. In fact it likes to make the noise in the middle of the night.

A call came to me yesterday from Tyhee Lake. A yellow-headed blackbird was seen from the viewing area. A good place to look at ducks and loons. It is nice to go there early in the morning. Good to miss the roar of boats.

I did have a big number of sparrows Mostly white-crowned. Two golden crowned were added to the group. They seem to have moved on for the most part.

Maybe they were a tad annoyed about the new batch of squirrels running about.

Also thanks to the students from Bulkley Valley Christian School for cleaning up the roadside garbage. It is appreciated.

The temperature is now at 20 degrees so I guess I should get outside. Thanks for taking time off from your sunny day activities to call me at 250-846-5095. Send an e-mail to [email protected].

Two Mile woman loses everything in fire By Marisca BakkerHazelton/Interior News

A woman in Two Mile lost everything in a fire on May 4.

Marianne Kloeckner was woken up by her dog after a fire started in her adjacent barn. The first person she called was her friend Edward Green who arrived to find a fully engulfed house, shop and barn. All five of her structures burned to the ground.

A neighbour helped save about half of her chickens and her goats were able to get away safely.

Green thinks it was an electrical fire. “Her house was actually built on to an old

trailer and the wiring was terrible. We were planning to fix it and rebuild a side of the house and make it into one whole house, instead of having it attached to a trailer. We had already started buying the supplies, wood, sinks. It was very expensive lumber and now it is all gone, lost in the fire.”

A campaign to help rebuild a house for Kloeckner has started. Green said she is fiercely independent and is having a hard time accepting the help. But Green said she deserves it.

“She will literally give the shirt off her back to anyone. If someone needs a ride, she gives it. She is just one of the those people who can’t say no to someone in need. She will bend over backwards to help someone. That’s Marianne.”

A farm on Edward Street in Two Mile was burned to the ground on May 4. Five structures in total were lost, along with some chickens.

Local company harassed for LNG workBy Marisca BakkerHazelton/Interior News

An aboriginal owned and operated business in Hazelton has been a target for vandals lately because it is doing work for the LNG industry.

Geel Enterprises recently started a subcontract under the Gitxsan Development Corporation to do preliminary groundwork for the proposed TransCanada pipeline on the territory. This work includes building helicopter and drill pads.

The Prince Rupert Gas Transmission Project is a 900 km proposed pipeline that would transport natural gas from near Hudson’s Hope to the proposed Pacific Northwest LNG facility, if it gets the green light.

Catherine Blackstock, hereditary chief and president of Geel Enterprises, said her employees are being harassed for the work they are doing. In an email, she said an employee’s truck was vandalized as someone scratched ‘NO LNG’ into it. On another occasion, an employee was wearing a company jacket and was razzed for working for Geel. Also, Blackstock

said a provincial employee had called with information she had received saying Geel is trespassing and it is against Gitxsan law to trespass on another territory. He told the employee people are going to take action and even threatened to beat up one employee.

“Under Gitxsan Development Corporation we ensure that the house is informed and approve of any work on the site. In fact, a house member is also present when we are doing the work.”

“Opinions are OK but breaking the law is not,” Blackstock added.

The Hazelton RCMP are investing.

Burton (Burt) Clyde WithamBurton was born in Minot, North Dakota on

September 1, 1919. He was raised in a loud and loving family of eleven children in Surrey, North Dakota. After high school he moved to Mohall, North Dakota to work for the Farmers Union. Burt joined the U.S. army in February, 1943 and served overseas during World War II. At the end of the war he returned to Mohall and married Louise Nelson on May 12, 1946. They were married for 67 years and had two children, John and Nan.

Burt’s wide range of interests and abilities brought him a number of opportunities throughout his life. Jobs in the propane business took the family to Regina, Saskatchewan in 1960 and to Fort McMurray, Alberta in 1964. In 1968 the family moved to Smithers, BC, where they lived until his retirement. Burt enjoyed mastering new skills. His many careers included carpentry, owning a tire and muffler shop and working as a millwright in gold mines in B.C and the Northwest Territories.

Burt and Louise loved to travel and camp. After retirement they travelled extensively in their RV. From 1990–1995 they lived full time in their fifth-wheel trailer, spending winters travelling in Arizona and California and summers as campground hosts near Fairview, Alberta. Burt loved to meet new people. He was happiest when he was talking to fellow campers and lending a hand with their RV’s!

Burt and Louise moved to Cherry Grove Estates in Oliver, BC in 1995. Burt’s days were filled with golf, pool, dancing and handyman work around the park. He became part of the Social Committee and he and Louise enjoyed the pot lucks and dances, as well as entertaining neighbours and friends on their deck. In 2011, Burt and Louise moved to Mariposa Gardens in Osoyoos, BC where he passed away peacefully on April 26, 2014 at 94 years.

Burton was predeceased by his wife Louise, son John, parents Blaine and DiaDama and eleven brothers and sisters. He is survived by his daughter Nan Bartlett (David), grandchildren Zackary Witham (Samantha), Kristin Witham (Charlie Peasley), Blaine Bartlett (Kristie), Brady Bartlett (Josefine Natterqvist) and numerous nieces and nephews. The family appreciates the kindness of the Mariposa staff who became like a family to Burt.

Services for Burton will be held at a later date. Condolences and tributes may be directed to the family

Together, we’ve built Canada. Together, we’ll build Gateway.

When working people benefit, Canada benefits. That’s why we support Northern Gateway.

Canada’s trade unions have always fought to ensure working people and their families benefit from economic growth. That’s why the Pipe Line Contractors Association of Canada and four national unions—representing the most experienced construction workforce anywhere in the world—are proud to support the Northern Gateway Pipeline.

Northern Gateway is a nation-building project that has the potential to secure long-term energy and economic security for the next 100 years. But only—and this is critical—if it is built right and for the benefit of average families and the communities in which we live.

The Memorandum Of Understanding our unions signed with Northern Gateway ensures the project is built to the highest possible environmental and safety standards. It supports Northern Gateway’s commitment to jobs and lasting social benefits for Aboriginal communities. And it helps ensure new training opportunities for young people—opportunities that will last them a lifetime.

As trade union members, we place a high value on protecting our natural environment. We have been building pipelines for over 60 years and know what it takes to protect the environment we all value. The Joint Review Panel process was

the most comprehensive environmental review for an oil pipeline Canada has ever seen, and its recommendation found that we can build Northern Gateway while still protecting our environment.

For these reasons, our trade unions— and the 300,000 Canadian working men and women we represent—believe Northern Gateway is the right choice for Canadian workers and their families. When working people and their communities benefit—as they do with Northern Gateway—then we all benefit with a stronger, fairer, and more prosperous country for every Canadian.

The above referenced human rights complaint (the “Complaint”) has been fi led on behalf of First Nations people who live in the Hazelton, B.C. area (the “Class”). Pauline Cole and Vernon Joseph have fi led the Complaint as representatives on behalf of the Class.

The Complaint alleges that the Ministry of Health, the Northern Health Authority and the United Church Health Services Society (collectively, the “Respondents”) have discriminated against the Class in the provision of a service customarily available to the public on the basis of race and ancestry contrary to section 8 of the Human Rights Code, R.S.B.C. 1996, c. 210.

If you are currently a member of the Class, you have the right to remain a member of the Class or to opt out.

If you wish to remain a member of the Class you do not need to do anything. In this case, you will be bound by the outcome of the Complaint whether or not it is successful. We will continue to publish important developments on the processing of the Complaint.

“People who live with mental illness, they have lots to celebrate in their lives.”

That according to David Mclennan, area monitor for Mental Health and Addictions for the northwest. Last week was mental health awareness week and Mclennan said Northern Health aims to reduce the stigma because any one person can suffer

from a mental illness anytime in their life.

Northern Health is part of the Hazelton Mental Health Wellness task force, a collaboration between several community groups including the RCMP and other health authorities. This task force pursues grants, has a community garden and social integration programs.

“We look at people’s mental wellness instead of looking at their mental illness,” Mclennan said. “We look at a person from a holistic point

of view.” Mclennan said anyone who has

questions or needs help can contact a mental health counsellor at Gitxsan Health or go to Northern Health’s Mental Health and Addictions office near Wrinch Memorial Hospital.

“If it’s a parent or someone who is concerned about a relative, we will have someone discuss their concerns with them and give them advice,” he said. “Anyone can refer anyone to our services, it doesn’t have to be a doctor. We have an open door policy.”

“I look at Northern Gateway and see a project that will build families and communities for generations.

That’s what I’m most proud of.”

We at Northern Gateway are committed to ensuring that jobs and business opportunities will be available to people living near the Project’s right-of-way.

DEDICATED TO MEANINGFUL ABORIGINAL INCLUSION Catherine connects willing job seekers with existing and emerging opportunities. She is focused on helping the Project meet its goal of having Aboriginal people comprise 15 per cent of the construction workforce. “Many Northern communities are experiencing or have experienced desperate cycles of poverty, in part due to a lack of the necessary skills for the existing employment opportunities. I believe people in Northern and North Western B.C. have yet to fully realize their enormous potential. By actively investing in better education and skills training, opportunities for advancement and connections to good, steady jobs, we know we can make a real diff erence.”

IT ALL ADDS UP TO COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT In Catherine’s experience, removing barriers to employment has a huge impact – not just on individual job seekers, but on their communities as well. When you connect someone to a job, you also build individual and social pride, enhanced connections, dignity and ultimately, stronger sustainable communities. “As a trained social worker with experience in community development, I have found it very rewarding to work in Industry. You have the opportunity to create really meaningful outcomes that are mutually benefi cial. Our model of shared responsibility for working with communities is unique and is being emulated by other companies.”

SUCCESS ACROSS THE NORTH We have held discussions with numerous training providers, colleges, universities and employment service providers in Northern B.C. to identify programming needs to help Aboriginal and local people take advantage of the surge in energy projects in the region. We have also worked to tailor programming to the needs of individual communities. “Fundamentally, there’s nothing more powerful than helping someone make that connection to employment, because it leads to a larger, more positive and healthier social outcome.” As a company and a neighbour, we want to see Northern residents get the best opportunities because that benefi ts us all. It’s how we will build more than a safer, better pipeline, we will help build a better B.C.

Catherine Pennington spearheads our community benefi ts and sustainability initiatives which include education and skills development.

For over 10 years, she has lived and worked in Northern B.C. with First Nation and Métis

communities, creating partnerships and programs that focus on improving employment and social

outcomes for the long term.
