Smithers Interior News, May 21, 2014

By Ryan JensenSmithers/Interior News

The Town of Smithers is taking steps to attract and retain more retail business to the downtown core.

At the regular council meeting on May 13, Councillor Phil Brienesse put forth a motion to reduce the parking requirement for retail uses in the C1 zone between Railway Ave. and Highway 16 from one space per 60 square metres of floor space to one space per 180 metres.

The bylaw amendment was an effort to retain new business and

encourage redevelopment to keep Smithers’ downtown unique and vibrant, Brienesse said.

Currently, building owners are required to provide one parking space per 60 square metres of gross floor area.

They can either build the spots on site, provide parking on another property within a certain distance if they are granted a covenant by the property owner or they can pay the town $9,500 for each space.

Any funds collected by the town are placed in a special reserve which is only used to develop parking lots.

Brienesse said he has

heard time and again, this cost is another roadblock entrepreneurs face when considering whether to set up shop on Main Street.

“Everybody recognizes there’s a problem,” Brienesse said.

“Everyone is throwing in their two cents about what they think would be the way to go. The business community and the retailers are not expecting us to do nothing. They would like us to do something about the problem.

“We just cannot let this sit any longer and keep saying, ‘well, yeah, we recognize this is a problem but we’re not smart enough to come up

with a solution.’ That’s not good enough for our community.”

After a lengthy discussion, council voted to amend the bylaw to reduce the parking requirement to allow one parking space per 100 square metres of floor space.

Mayor Taylor Bachrach said he hopes the amendment will send a positive message to the community.

“There’s a real desire in the community to do something to try to retain retail downtown,” Bachrach said.

“I think it sends the signal that we’re going to make the costs quite a bit

less for people wishing to get into business.”

Councillor Mark Bandstra put forward a separate motion, which passed, asking town staff to report on options for lessening the development requirements for parking lots in order to reduce the costs for business owners.

That report will be discussed at an upcoming meeting.

Council last went through the parking regulations in detail in 2008. They made 11 changes at that time, including moving from one space per 45 square metres to one space per 60 square metres.

Houston and Smithers RCMP teamed up capture a prolific offender after he was allegedly observed stealing a truck from a commercial business parking lot east of Houston.

Ryan Laidlaw, 25, of Smithers was arrested and charged with Theft of a Motor Vehicle, Possession of Stolen Property, Breach of Recognizance and Driving While Suspended after an employee at the

business noticed a co-worker’s truck driving away by a male who had been observed hitchhiking on Highway 16 moments before.

The owner of the stolen pickup and a co-worker drove west on the highway to look for the truck while police coordinated a response from the neighbouring detachment in Smithers. As police responded, the vehicle owner called back to report that the truck had been located

driving west on Highway 16 just east of Telkwa.

As police closed in, the suspect pulled off the highway into a residential area and fled from the stolen pickup on foot. With the assistance of witnesses and neighbours, police were able to locate the suspect hiding behind a fence where he was taken into custody without incident.

Police later located a duffel bag, that had been dropped by the suspect, which contained his court documents arising from his release from

custody just 14 hours earlier.

“The quick call to police and assistance offered by the complainant and residents in Telkwa led to the apprehension of this prolific offender by the Smithers RCMP,” said Houston RCMP detachment commander Sergeant Stephen Rose. “The seamless cooperation between the two detachments ensured that this offender was quickly apprehended and brought before the courts.”

REPORT

Quick-thinking employee aids RCMP

By Nolan KellySmithers/Interior News

A packed house attended the Village of Telkwa council chambers last week to welcome Enbridge delegates for a presentation on the Northern Gateway pipeline.

“We think the pipeline is something that the citizens of Telkwa and all of western Canada can be proud of,” Enbridge’s Donny Van Dyk said, during his initial address to council.

The meeting was requested by the Village of Telkwa two years ago, after they raised six major concerns about an oil spill’s effect on their water supply.

“During a meeting at council in June of 2012, we decided that our main responsibility was to ensure that this is in the best interests of our community and the biggest threat to our community concerns our water supply, because our intake comes from the Bulkley River.

“So all of our questions were surrounding that,” councillor Rimas Zitkauskas said.

Enbridge’s current route would see the pipeline cross the Morice river, which runs into the

Bulkley. A study conducted

by Enbridge found that it would take roughly 11 hours for a spill to reach the Telkwa water supply.

Council’s issues centered on the cleanup time in the event of a spill, who would cover the costs and how clean water would be delivered to citizens, should the currently supply become contaminated.

Without going into detail, delegates told council that, as part of the 209 conditions, Enbridge would be responsible for all cleanup costs and for ensuring delivery of clean drinking water.

“The Joint Review Panel found that the pipeline was in the best interests of

Canadians and these conditions are an absolute requirement to operate, if the federal government approves the project,” Van Dyk said.

However, the delegates failed to get into specifics and to address concerns over their past track record.

“I have read the Kalamazoo report,” one citizen said, referring to an Enbridge spill in Michigan that leaked four million litres into the Kalamazoo River.

“And I was really alarmed and frightened.

“I assume you had a lot of conditions for that pipeline as well. Did you follow those conditions? Because obviously something

went wrong there. Your track record is awful and I don’t think you should be allowed to operate a pipeline after that.”

The lack of detail provided by the delegation and their canned responses, drew the ire of many in attendance.

“I’m not saying if I am for it or against it,” another resident said.

“But you aren’t showing how it’s going to be safe. You aren’t showing the technology that you’re using to make it safe.”

The delegation wasn’t expecting to answer specific questions from citizens, as their purpose in attending the meeting was to address Telkwa

council’s original concerns.

Council said it would welcome a town-hall style meeting and a presentation by Enbridge, but considering it took two years for a delegation to come to Telkwa, they did not sound optimistic about the possibility.

“I think the questions were answered in a general way,” Zitkauskas said. “But I personally didn’t feel any more assurance after the meeting.”

During the presentation, the possibility of a plebiscite or a referendum on the pipeline was brought up.

A plebiscite would have to be requested by Telkwa citizens and voted on at council, whereas a referendum would be led by council.

“It might be good timing to have a plebiscite,” Zitkuaskas said.

“If the community feels they want one, it would be a good opportunity to schedule one around the fall elections, to save costs, organizational time and trips to the voting booth.”

The Village of Telkwa has decided to refrain from taking an official position on the pipeline at this time.

Wetzin’kwa grant deadline nearingSmithers/Interior News

The application deadline is approaching fast for submissions to the Wetzin’kwa Community Grant Program.

This is the sixth year the organization will hand out about $150,000 to successful Bulkley Valley applicants. The deadline is May 30.

The Wetzin’kwa Community Grant Program distributes revenue from the forest tenure back into the community by funding projects that return the greatest long-term benefit

to Bulkley Valley residents. Since 2009, the program has invested more than $600,000 in community initiatives, funding dozens of projects in the Smithers and Telkwa areas.

Individual grant awards are limited to a maximum $10,000 per successful applicant.

Examples of past grant recipients include the Bulkley Valley Cross Country Ski Club, Smithers Mountain Bike Association, Smithers Centennial 2013, Telkwa Museum Society, Moricetown Food Bank Society and Northern Society for

Domestic Peace. The community forest’s

purpose is to support the local economy through job creation and the distribution of annual profits back into the community from a 32,000-hectare community forest tenure jointly held by the Village of Telkwa and Town of Smithers, and managed with the Office of the Wet’suwet’en’s support and participation.

For more information about the Community Grant Program visit www.wetzinkwa.ca/grant-program.html.


The Groundbreakers Collective, and the Bulkley Valley Farmers Market are teaming up to teach kids about local food.

“It’s about connecting ourselves with where our food comes from and helping our kids to discover local, sustainable food,” Bulkley Valley Farmers Market coordinator Kala Hooker said.

Two weeks ago Hooker and the Groundbreakers Collective held a local food day at Telkwa Elementary school.

They brought in animals for a petting zoo, taught specific lessons about eggs and milk and gave some kids a tour of a local

farm.The food day

was part of a larger Groundbreakers Collective initiative, featuring lesson plans designed for elementary school kids that are focused on experiential food education.

One teaches kids about local food security, through calculating how far their food has travelled to reach their plate and how to access that locally grown food.

The other takes a more hands-on approach, allowing kids to design and plant their own gardens.

“We get them to draw a garden using chalk and they have to scale out how much room they have for their cabbages or their potatoes,” Groundbreakers’ Jen Hegen said.

“They have to consider all the factors that go into planning vegetable growing.”

So far, the collective has taught the program to kids at Telkwa and Muheim and they have reached out to Walnut Park about beginning one there.

The collective is also planning to release their annual local food directory – a guide to local food producers in the Bulkley Valley – in the coming days.

Of note: the farmers market is starting up a local food ambassador program.

Hooker is hoping to recruit volunteers to come out to work on local farms for a day to learn about the process, then teach what they’ve learned to others at a booth at the farmers market. For more information, contact Kala at 250-643-908

Kids learn about food

If you missed Dr. Stephen Norris’ A Case for Physical Education last April, there will be a screening of his speech at the Della Herman Theatre on May 25 at 7 p.m.

Dr. Norris, the vice president of WinSport in Calgary, visited Smithers to discuss physical literacy and athlete development, and specifically, how those topics relate to kids.

His message is founded on the belief that children should experience a variety of physical experiences and that it is important for adults to routinely structure activities for youth.

“Being a relatively small community, we are well positioned to make chances to our organizations

to better serve our kids,” organizer Derek Holland said. “If you are at all interested, please attend this screening and become a part of the conversation. If not for yourself, then for our youth.”

Norris has worked with many

of Canada’s national sport organizations over the past two decades.

He has played a critical role in propelling dozens of Canadian athletes to the Olympic Winter Games, having helped many of them reach the podium.

Norris has always played a key role as a primary consultant for Canada’s Own the Podium campaign between 2005 and 2010.

Currently, he runs his own sports consulting business.

Norris combines a mix of humour and in-your-face science to pound home his ultimate message that community, sports, and goals should be what’s best for kids.

To that end, Smithers could implement several changes at the grassroots level that would ensure youth are provided with the opportunity to reach their full physical potential, Holland said.

Admission to the screening is free and entrance is on a first come, first served basis.

Prince Rupert Gas Transmission Ltd. (Proponent), a wholly owned subsidiary of TransCanada PipeLines Limited, is proposing the Prince Rupert Gas Transmission Project (proposed Project), an approximately 900 km natural gas pipeline from near the District of Hudson’s Hope to the proposed Pacific NorthWest LNG liquefied natural gas export facility on Lelu Island, within the District of Port Edward.

The proposed Project would involve the construction and operation of a 48-inch (1,219 mm) diameter pipeline, metering facility, and three compressor stations, with provision for up to an additional five compressor stations to allow for future expansion. The proposed Project will have an initial capacity of approximately 2.0 billion cubic feet (bcf/day) with potential for expansion to approximately 3.6 bcf/day.

The proposed Project is subject to review under British Columbia’s Environmental Assessment Act.

The Proponent has now submitted its application (Application) to obtain an environmental assessment certificate, which is required before any work can be undertaken on the proposed Project.

Dr. Stephen Norris makes a case for physical education

Dr. Stephen Norris

The B.C. School Trustees’ Association is

calling for a mandatory high school course on the history of residential schools set up to assimilate aboriginal children into European culture.

Trustees propose a 25-hour course required for all graduating students, using interviews with residential school survivors, presentations by aboriginal leaders and discussion of current events.

This would build on aboriginal courses already in offered in B.C. schools, and a public education effort that began with Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s 2008 apology and compensation for

Canada’s residential school policy.

B.C. Teachers’ Federation vice-president Glen Hansman gave a speech on the need for mandatory education to a 2012 teacher conference. He said current aboriginal culture courses are poorly attended, and went on to denounce a school system he said is still based on “colonialism” and a “settler construct” of history.

“We need to acknowledge that racism is the norm in public schools – still today,” Hansman said.

Is it really? He also claimed that the purpose and legacy of the residential schools have been “deliberately

hidden” from school curriculum.

In lieu of evidence, Hansman recounted old anecdotes of American-style stereotyping from his own schooling in Ontario. But mostly he demanded social engineering in schools that must of course include more funding, more teacher professional development time and an affirmative action program to recruit more aboriginal teachers.

Do Hansman’s allegations reflect the kind of attitude that would lead to truth and reconciliation? Or are they signs of another unfortunate legacy, that of the victim studies mentality

that permeates our universities?

Here’s a suggestion for this mandatory course. Students could spend a couple of hours on one of the definitive works of B.C. aboriginal history, A Stó:lo Coast Salish Historical Atlas. A long-term project of

the Stó:lo Nation, the atlas has meticulously documented chapters on European contact and residential schools, and others that piece together oral histories and what few written records there are of B.C. First Nations life at the time of European contact.

A journal kept at Fort Langley from 1827 to 1830 documents some of the raids between aboriginal communities on the Fraser River and Vancouver Island, corroborating elders’ accounts. During those three years, Cowichan men attacked the Chilliwack Stó:lo community four times. In the same period, the journal records 30 incidents

of inter-community violence, some reaching down to present-day Washington state.

Archaeological study of stone fortifications and weapons at fishing sites in the Fraser Canyon traces a history of inter-community violence back at least 3,000 years.

Historians characterize some of this as warfare. British colonial authorities had some “settler constructs” about these activities: they saw them as assault, robbery, abduction and murder as well as slavery.

This is the seldom-discussed backdrop for the European settlement of British Columbia, the

imposition of British law and the later establishment of church-run residential schools.

None of this is to excuse the forced removal of aboriginal children from their families, the horrendous abuse and neglect or the multi-generational damage to a culture already weakened by waves of smallpox. This 1928 plan to fix what was called the “Indian problem” deserves to be understood by everyone.

But glossing over historical context and presenting a guilt trip to students would serve no one well.

RCMP deserve more praise

Editor:This past Mother’s

Day my family was travelling back to Smithers from Terrace. As we neared Kitselas Canyon, a large number of RCMP vehicles raced past us. A disturbed man had set his car on fire, effectively blocking the highway in both directions. He attacked an approaching vehicle with an axe, apparently threatened others and then sat down with his axe to await a confrontation, one he never received due to the expert intervention of the RCMP on the scene.

The motorists, gathered a safe distance from the scene, watched for several hours as the police carefully set up a perimeter, ensuring safety for everyone involved, including the man who started the problem. Our predictions for how it would end ranged from Tasers, to gas, or far worse. While we could not hear or see what occurred very well, we could tell they were patient and kind in their treatment of him. The confrontation ended peacefully, even though clearly that was not the man’s intention.

Too often, our news outlets only report these situations when they end badly, and we rarely hear of the likely hundreds of successful situations like this one. That opinion has been confirmed by the lack of coverage of this event. I would like to take the time, on behalf of my family, myself and the other grateful motorists that day, to thank all of the members involved

for their fine work. I think this is especially important to say during RCMP week! There are people out there who appreciate what you do.

No abortion laws in place

Editor:Thank you for

being a newspaper that does not shy away from the topic of abortion.

Abortion can be such an off limits subject but it shouldn’t be. We are trying to make people aware of the facts and most people do not realize:

1) The Supreme Court struck down the abortion law in 1988.

2) Since then Parliament has not come up with a new law. This means that there is no law on abortion.

3) A woman can have an abortion right up to minutes before giving birth and even at times unwanted babies are left to die (a post-birth abortion).

4) Canada is the only democratic country in the world with no restrictions on abortions.

5) North Korea and China also have no restrictions, so we are on par with those two communist countries.

6) Sex selective abortions are very common in India and China but it is also a problem in Canada (gendercide).

7) A girl needs her parents’ consent to have her ears pierced or go to a tanning salon up to the age of 16 or even 18 but she can have an abortion at 14 without her parents’ knowledge!

8) The father has no legal rights when it comes to an abortion.

If the woman decides to have an abortion he can do nothing to stop it!

9)Abortion has many long term psychological and physical effects that are generally not talked about.

Polls show that most Canadians would like to see a law with at least some restrictions on abortions. And that is what the We Need a Law campaign is all about (weneedalaw.ca). It does appear that after the March for Life in Ottawa that saw 23,000 people peacefully gather on Parliament Hill, and during which Niki Ashton was writing a motion that will see the House of Commons debate the issue, as well as Justin Trudeau’s announcement regarding “Pro-Life Candidates need not apply,” that the abortion topic is waking up.

People need to be aware of the facts, not talking about abortion is not the answer. Thank you for your time.

Cullen to be applauded

Editor:I would like to

respond the Letter to the Editor entitled “Sneaky politicians,” that appeared in the

May 14 edition of The Interior News.

I’ve been following the Zalinski issue for some time. The Zalinski was utilized as a US Army transport vessel that hit a rock in Grenville Channel in 1946 and sank.

The vessel was using Bunker C oil as a fuel source, and when it sank it came to rest upside down on a small shelf. Over the years the hull of the vessel has corroded and the rivets are seeping oil. The vessel was carrying cargo (possibly ammunition); if the vessel shifts or is disturbed in some manner it may cause safety concerns for those who are working to rectify the situation. Hartley Bay is less than 10 kms from the site.

The environmental damage could be worse than the sinking of the Queen of the North Ferry which devastated this community, whereby, thousands of gallons of diesel was released when the ferry sank. The diesel fuel coated everything. I was involved in the environmental work from the beginning, and the overwhelming smell of the fuel in the air was hard to take. Living in Prince Rupert afforded me the luxury to leave at the end of the day. Those who lived in Harley Bay stayed to assist in cleaning up

their community and their “dinner plate,” the ocean.

The Zalinski is an environmental ticking time bomb waiting to go off, and the community of Hartley Bay and other nearby communities want action to prevent another disaster.

I personally applaud our politician in keeping this issue in the forefront. It’s more than just a cup of oil. Try dipping your next steak in diesel, and eating it. That my friend is what is facing those who live remote areas and the constant fear of another spill where they rely on the ocean to provide their food.

BVX is an event for all

Editor:In regards to the

recent turmoil with the BVAIA / Fall Fair board, that has been reported in The Interior News, the Quick Women’s Institute (QWI) members feel that the manner in which April 26, 2014 meeting was conducted circumvented democratic process and seems somewhat questionable.

Robert’s Rules of Order, which many reputable organizations follow in some fashion, evolved for the purpose of fair and

equitable process. There is procedure and process for fair proposal, discussion, debate and voting on issues relevant to the greater good of an organization.

Regardless of the issues and persons involved, every BVAIA member should have been informed, in full, prior to the meeting, of the purpose for the meeting, including but not limited to full disclosure of any proposed motions in order for all members to have time to review and a forum for open and honest discussion. With issues and proposals this significant to the operation of this society, another special meeting should have been held at a later date for voting purposes.

We also feel strongly that those with voting rights should be required to be members for a specified period of time prior to casting a vote at any meeting (not just the AGM), to prevent any real or perceived “stacking of votes.”

The utilization of terms such as ‘special general meeting’ can be perceived to circumvent regular process and use ‘loopholes’ for gains not in the greater good of the membership.

Some of our members are also members of the BVAIA, but did not attend the meeting because it was their understanding that this was a discussion meeting only and it conflicted with another annual event; therefore they feel they were not given their democratic opportunity to vote.

We are saddened to hear that the BVX general manager

and several board members felt that they had to step down due to non-confidence by some of the members. We do believe that there are others in the community, like us, who were pleased with the job these members did, but did not get to express their views.

We would like to thank those who have chosen to step down/resign for their dedication of time to the BVX over the years.

As a group, we represent and value the many faces of agriculture. We believe representation from each organized group is integral on the operational team; however we feel that it may be better if those on the board of directors consist of members with no conflict, real or perceived with any organized group that takes part in the Fall Fair in order to be able to look at the overall picture and make decisions in the best interest of all groups to best facilitate the BVAIA to grow and move forward.

Considering all the turmoil that decisions made at this meeting have caused, including stepping down of board members and resignation of the general manager, we hope that the new board of the BVAIA do what is democratically right and hold a proper discussion and a vote for all members to have the opportunity to partake.

The BVX is an event for all; sponsors, attendees and participants.

Respectfully submitted,

Quick Women’s Institute

OPINION

The misleading half truths from our oily friendsThe U.N., major

scientists, climatologists,

and much of the rest of the world, understand the causes and risks of climate change, and what we have to do to arrest global disasters, rising sea levels and acidification of the oceans.

Yet we still have many uninformed and self-motivated naysayers, including some of our supposedly intelligent political and business leaders, who all want bigger profits, bigger salaries, bigger houses and new limousines.

The David Black opinion in The Interior News, April 30th “Building a Refinery in Kitimat is the best solution,” and the full page greenwashing pipeline ad of May 7, “A solid plan years in

the making,” are both excellent examples.

They are as misleading and dishonest as students at a residential school being told that it is acceptable to be abused by their supposedly holy men.

There are only two burning issues —either we know and care enough to acknowledge climate change, or we as persons are ignorant of the facts (or just couldn’t care less).

If we continue on our present irresponsible fossil fueled path, we may condemn billions of innocent people to being climate change refugees.

I dare you to ask the people of Bangladesh (150 million people in a country 1/67th the size of Canada) how happy they will be having their tiny plots of subsistence

farms three feet under water, with no way to feed or rescue themselves. Millions of them live in straw or bamboo shacks and they don’t have any trees to build a saving ark. Besides, where could they possibly go—to Kitimat perhaps?

The latest greenwash ad by the pipeline folks describes our oil reserves as “our most valuable commodity,” and that deserves an honest second look.

My Merriam Webster dictionary describes ‘commodity’ as: 1) a product of agriculture or mining, 2) an article of commerce, and 3) something useful or valued.

Man (you, your children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren) can live about five minutes without

air, about five days without water, and about 50 days without food.

That makes it clear to me that even if the pipeline was packed end to end with gold or diamonds (instead of black, polluting crude oil) that still wouldn’t qualify as ‘our most valuable commodity.’

In May of 2013, I had the privilege of listening to Dr. John Hiemstra, a science professor

at King’s College in Edmonton, who has spent about 10 years studying the tar sands and scientific details of the fossil fuel industry.

Dr. Hiemstra made two very significant points: 1) that we (all of us) have to choose between our public and private wants (me, me, me) and the needs of the generations to come, and 2) that if we use up/burn more than 1/5th (20 per cent) of the current known fossil fuel reserves, we will exceed the two-degree Celsius threshold, and we are dooming our great, great grandchildren to a slow, agonizing descent into a living hell of our own creation.

Canada’s (and the world’s) most valuable commodities, are clean, breathable air, clean, drinkable (and

fish habitable) water, and clean, productive agricultural soil.

We (and the generations to come) can’t eat non-existent vegetables, grains, or fruit which won’t grow on oil contaminated land; we can’t eat non-existent beef from non-existent oil contaminated pasture lands; we can’t eat fresh water fish which have been destroyed by oil and pipeline spills; and we can’t eat ocean seafood products which have been destroyed by crude oil tanker spills.

The only thing we can truly say about oil, is that it may enable short term, unsustainable and irresponsible profit for big oil and pipeline proponents, at the probable fatal expense of future generations.

I know that

you and I want much more than this for our great grandchildren—and it’s up to you and me to make it happen.

Our clean air, soil, lakes, rivers and coastal waters belong to the people who live here, now, and for the generations to come.

They do not belong to big oil, big pipeline, or any provincial, federal or foreign jurisdiction—they are in trust with us for our great grandchildren.

The Cree Indian Prophecy states: “Only after the last tree has been cut down, only after he last river has been poisoned, only after the last fish has been caught, only then will you find that money cannot be eaten.”

Please think about energy alternatives, and thank you for caring.

Bike to Work Week rolls on May 26

By Marisca BakkerSmithers/Interior News

A community event that celebrates bikes as a fun and healthy way to get around runs May 26 to 30.

“People should participate for the fun of it,” said one of the organizers, Jeremy Shriber. “Biking to work is a great way to start the day, it is more enjoyable than driving a car. It’s a good time to try it out, other people are doing it which makes it fun.”

The week kicks off on Monday, May 26 at noon at Bugwood Bean. An easy family ride will take place at 6 p.m. and riders can meet at McBike. There will be a lunch on Tuesday at C.O.B. and a ladies ride happens later that day. On Wednesday, anyone who bikes to the BV Pool will get in free. Nature’s Pantry will be hosting a lunch on Thursday and there will also be dinner specials for

bikers at the Aspen Riverhouse. The week ends with a celebration at Bovill Square on Friday at 6 p.m.

Town of Smithers prevention and community safety officer Matt Davey wants to remind cyclists that the Motor Vehicle Act and town bylaws apply to them as well.

This means riding on the road not the

sidewalk and always riding with traffic, on the right side of the road. Having front and rear lights on the bike is a good idea if you ride at dusk, night or in low visibility. Bikers need to stop for red lights and stop signs. Also, wearing a helmet is mandatory.

Businesses can register their workplace team at biketowork.ca/smithers.

Smithers’ Bike to Work Week is May 26-30.

Action group marches for lifeFive Bulkley Valley

residents were in Ottawa earlier this month for a conference and meetings with Members of Parliament, including Skeena-Bulkley Valley representative Nathan Cullen.

The group travelled to Ottawa on behalf of Bulkley Valley Association for Reformed Political Action (ARPA), a political advocacy group from the Reformed church community. While there, they had meetings with NDP MP Charlie Angus, who is spearheading a motion that would advance a national palliative care strategy, Green Party MP Elizabeth May, Conservative MP Alice Wong and five other MPs and a senator. They also took part in a special event for parliamentarians about

a biblical perspective on restorative justice.

The delegates had the opportunity to participate in the annual March for Life on Parliament Hill, with 23,000 other Canadians who believe parliament needs to make a law to protect preborn children.

Since the Supreme Court struck down the abortion law in 1988, Canada has not yet come up with any law, meaning a woman can have an abortion even past 40 weeks gestation. As a result, Canada is the only democracy in the entire world with no law on

abortion.“We were excited

to meet with Nathan Cullen in his parliamentary setting to talk about issues that are important to us and encourage him in his work,” said ARPA member Carol Kanis.

Safety Tip:If you’re taking a road trip this May long weekend, be realistic about travel times as highways will be busier. Plan rest stops every 1.5 to 2 hours to avoid becoming fatigued while driving and check drive.ca for road and

weather conditions before setting out.

Question of the WeekWould a 10 cents per litre increase in the price of gas at the pump cause you to cancel a driving vacation?

Hyundai raises the bar with world class GenesisVERNON – There is little chance of falling asleep at the wheel of the 2015 Hyundai Genesis, even on one of those long summer driving vacations.The twisty route around the Okanagan lake coun-try, chosen to show off the agility of this new luxury sedan from the Korean manufacturer, guaranteed all behind the wheel kept their eyes glued to the road ahead.But should such external stimulus not be available for the long distance driver, there is a nifty little gadget below the glove box. An industry-first sensor control system detects when CO2 levels are too high and boosts the cabin with fresh air. Research by Hyundai engineers determined that drowsiness increases when CO2 concentrations inside the cabin exceed 2,000 parts per million. Of course, cracking a window works the same way but many do not detect the onset of a sleepiness until it’s too late, while others are reluctant to let in that cold mountain air during a winter jaunt. Count me in that group.Gadgets aside, there is much to stimu-late the senses in the all-new Genesis. Its eye-catching design, with giant front grille, would not look out of place parked next to a BMW, Audi or Merc, which is precisely the intent. It’s bench-marked against such German Masters at a price segment below what one would

expect to pay for the Eu-ropean leaders. Will they hold their price in resale? – Likely not during this generation, but if the am-bitious Koreans continue to prove reliability and quality then they will.Meanwhile, an owner is going to enjoy years of driving a performance oriented in comfort and style. The fit and finish inside rivals those with which it chooses to compete for the dollars in the wallets of the well-heeled. The subtle use of leather and micro suede is classy; with Napa leather and real wood trim available as an option. Double

stitched leather seats always look good but it’s what’s inside that counts on a lengthy trip! The foam beneath in this case offers both support and comfort in the right places. Both front seats offer 12-way power adjustment and there’s a power-adjustable thigh extension with side bolsters that’s available for the long-legged.A new power trunk lid goes a step further than the new trend to enable opening by swinging your leg under the rear to pop the trunk. Tired of stand-ing on one leg with two arms full of groceries? When your pocketed key nears the trunk, it automatically opens after three-seconds. A High-Beam Assist (HBA) function

switches to low beams when an oncom-ing vehicle is detected. Other options include a panoramic sunroof, a heated steering wheel, ventilated front seats, tri-zone automatic climate control, and rear door window blinds. Driver-assist safety technologies are also available in abundance for those who like the car to do some thinking for them.The new Genesis is also a statement of intent: it heralds what will be the look of the seven new less-premium Hyundai products expects to grace our show-rooms before 2016.When it comes to driving, it’s really a tale of two cars. The top-of-the-line model offers a big V8 5-litre power plant, with 420 horses at its disposal. Ironically, it’s best enjoyed jogged along at low speed on the highway, where it has the feel of an old-fash-ioned big family sedan. (It’s not a lot of fun on the twisting lakeside roads of the Okanagan.)Cars destined for the Canadian market will come with an all-new HTRAC

active wheel drive (AWD) system. Says Hyundai: “Performance of the vehicle’s all-new platform was validated in some of the world’s most demanding driving environments, including Germany’s famed Nürburgring Nordschleife and Korea’s Yeongam Formula 1 racing circuit.” The large variety of proving grounds offered by the northern Okanagan was much more appealing to me. And especially so in the car equipped with the 311 horsepower, 3.8-litre GDI V6 engine. Flipping between the Normal, Eco and Sport modes and tapping the gear-changing paddles on the steering wheel made for an enjoyable drive. Little lean in the corners and sprightly up hill. Both engines are coupled to an 8-speed automatic transmission with a SHIF-TRONIC manual mode. The base price is $43,000, $48,000 gets you the Luxury version, and $53,000 loads up the tech features. If you want the V8, get ready to spend $62,000.

Luxury and hi-tech systems abound in the 4x4s that show up in the local media test fleets.When I stepped out of one of the more loaded examples the other I got to thinking about yesteryear.Some might refer to them as the good old days – judge for your-self. I remember – not that long ago – four wheeling in a truck when the standard transmission shifter was so loose, you

didn’t know you were in gear or neutral. Anti-lock brakes were when you lost your master cylinder to a stick, while (independently minded) power steering kicked in when you hit the corner of a rock so hard it ripped the steer-ing wheel out of your hand and if you weren’t careful your thumb as well. Traction control came in the shape of new tires. Automatic four-wheel-drive was achieved by asking your passenger to step out and lock the front hubs. The parking brake was a log shoved under the rear tire. Soft suspension meant your shocks were blown. Off-road suspension meant you spent more time hitting the roof with your head and back than you actually spent on the seat, which if you were lucky had some remain-ing padding still in it. Your seat belts would tighten up on every bump and if you didn’t stop you would be suffocated. You would be lucky if your radio would bring in a few channels on the AM band only! And the CB radio might just reach the driver in front of you. Wheel articulation really indicated your leaf spring was broken in half. Air condition-ing was driving with your windows down and trying to breath in between dust clouds. GPS was your buddy screaming out, “I think it’s this road”. Most people used to sleep in the back of their trucks. However, I remember one time after a long day of four-wheeling pulling into an open area by a river where I found a nice sandy mound. With the aid of my flash light I quickly spread the sand out with my arms making a flat area in which to put my tent. It was about 5:30 am when I first noticed the red ants crawling all around my sleeping bag. I was tired so killing the one at a time was not a big deal until I saw many climbing the side of the tent. I quickly climbed out of my tent to discover the soft sandy mound I found was actually a giant anthill. The vehicles of today have the capabilities of descending steep hills without even putting your foot on the brake and you could discon-nect your sway bar end links to allow for more articulation. Ability to stop on a hill without rolling back is nice. Comfortable seats are really an improvement, especially on long trips. Although we can’t relive the past, it’s import-ant to remember technology is there to help us. There is no replacement for common sense, so don’t let your truck drive you, drive it and be safe. If you have any fun and not-so-fun truck tales to share, please drop me a line.

Smithers Secondary School hosted their track zones last weekend, and a few athletes set records and personal best.

“I think everyone did a great job,” head coach Jody Barber said. “I am really pleased with how our athletes performed.”

Eight schools from the northwest zone made the trip out to Smithers, to compete in the usual running, jumping and throwing events.

Leading the way, Grade 8 Hannah Pow set a zone record in both the 800 metres and the 1500 metres.

“I think she just had great fitness coming into the season and there was no one who could challenge her,” club coach Neil Currie said.

“It’s pretty hard to set a record when you are all by yourself.”

Barber was also impressed with Pow’s breakaway speed.

“She has great endurance,” Barber said.

“At the end of the race on her last lap she turns it on and sprints past everyone. It’s a remarkable thing to watch.”

Pow was one of three Smithers athletes at the tournament given an outstanding performance award.

Senior Patty Spicer also had a strong weekend, finishing first in the

discus, javelin and hammer throw.

Perhaps more extraordinary, her hammer throw mark of 33.89 metres was a personal best and she did it after only one practice this season.

“What really impressed me was

the distance of her hammer toss,” Currie said. “It was better than qualifying standards at nationals, which is pretty hard to do.”

Rounding out the trio of Smithers’ athletes that received outstanding

performance recognition, Janay Ma hit 1.45 metres in the high jump.

Many other athletes at the event qualified for provincials, but with so much going on at this time of year, Smithers Secondary

won’t be sending a team.

Some of the athletes will head to the B.C. Games in Nanaimo and the B.C. Championships in Kamloops this summer, though those team lists have yet to be finalized.

All in all, it was a great meet for head coach Jody Barber, who will step down next year at Smithers Secondary to allow Neil Currie to take over.

“I just want to give a big congratulations to all

of the athletes that competed,” Barber said.

“Everyone put in a great performance. They used their skills the best they could and the put in their best effort.

“That’s all you can ask for.”

Soccer season in full swingThe Smithers Men’s Soccer League got underway with two games last week.

Nolan Kelly photo

BV Rapids: On May 11, Bulkley

Valley Rapids U18 boys travelled to Terrace to play their U18 boys, a team that last year finished second in the province in the U17 competition.

Both teams scored early. Bryce Deveau continued his goal scoring streak, volleying in a cross for the BV Rapids. But Terrace responding soon after.

Mid-way through the first half, the Rapids pulled in front 2-1 with their second goal, on a powerful header by midfielder Gabriel Price, perfectly crossed into space from the wing.

There were chances at both ends. Goalkeeper Will Kiskila maintained the BV Rapids’ lead with a pair of great diving

saves. The contest

remained close until two Terrace players were sent off in two separate incidents for kicking BV Rapids’ players and Ryan Wright scored a third goal for the BV Rapids from a well taken penalty.

Earlier this month, the Bulkley Valley Rapids U18 boys played its first games of the season, a two game series at SSS versus Prince George U18s. Both games were fast paced, intense affairs.

There was lots of hard tackling and lung busting runs, which caused major fitness challenges for BV players used to short shifts and playing in a gym.

Neither team was able to dominate.

Prince George won the first game 1-0. Bulkley Valley won the second game 1-0.

The winning goal for Bulkley Valley in the second game was a well taken volley scored by winger Bryce Deveau.

The shutout was recorded by goalkeeper Matt Deveau, Bryce’s older brother.

Smithers Men’s League begins:

The Smithers Men’s League got underway last week with all four teams in action to start the season.

On opening night, the BV Rapids U18 beat the Smithers Men 3-1 behind two goals from Gabriel Price and one from Dylan Delany.

Shane Flynn added the lone marker for the

Smithers Men.The second game

of the season took place last Friday evening between the SC Gunners Reds and the Aspen Gunners.

Macel Barralon scored two and Nataniel Henning added another to give the SC Gunners a 3-2 victory.

With that, the league is in full swing. The four local teams will play games until late June.

Champions League final at the Aspen: The Aspen is

opening the bar a little early on May 24, to welcome in soccer fans for the Champions League final between Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid.

Texas Scramble marks season startA record 172 golfers came out to the annual Texas Scramble last weekend at the Smithers Golf and Country Club.

Nolan Kelly photo


The Smithers Golf and Country Club held its annual Texas Scramble last weekend, and judging by the record turnout and the atmosphere in the clubhouse afterwards, the event was a major success.

“It was a great event and a great way to kick off the season,” head

professional Chris Herkel said.

“We usually don’t open until the last week of April, so to have a tournament within the first month is a great way to get everyone back on the course.”

A record 172 players comprised 43 teams to compete in five flights of the best-ball event.

With the exception of the E flight, every one was decided by less than two strokes,

which made for some exciting finishes.

“There were a few teams that, if they would have made a putt on 18, it could have changed their standing,” Herkel added.

Players from all over the northwest came out to the event, that ended on Sunday night with a dinner and prize draw.

Prizes were bought from or donated by local businesses. Big

ticket items included a lawnmower, TV and iPods.

Up next, the club will host the Kilpatrick Tournament, which goes from May 29 to June 2.

Ladies and Mens’ nights are in full swing and will continue this week.

The Hudson Babes BV are bringing roller derby to the rinks of Smithers this summer.

The fishnet stockings and wild make-up allows housewives, school teachers, pharmacists and really any woman over 19 the opportunity to express their inner derby girl said Denise Dilny, the head coach and founder of the Bulkley Valley Hudson Babes.

“It’s definitely a good way to get some frustrations out,” Dilny said,

“But, it’s the whole persona that a girl gets to create on the track and as her roller derby persona you get to express the side of yourself that you don’t get to at your normal job.”

“Our first night in the rink last Tuesday, oh my God it was amazing,” Dilny said. “It was all of the girls

first time on a big full-size track.”

Dilny said that the first-time skaters had a, “derby love explosion and turned into amazing skaters in one practice.”

The girls of the Hudson Babes have been practicing a lot outdoors and the cement can be damaging to the skates, and their bodies.

Attempts to rent out a school gymnasium for practice went belly up.

“They were like, ‘Oh no! You’re not doing that on my floor!’ Our skates have rubber wheels, we’re fully padded, we have full insurance for your building and for us personally for injuries. We’re fully covered,” she said. “Our asses falling on your floor won’t hurt it,” she said.

The team is made up of 11 girls and in order to play a bout teams are required to have 14 members.

“We’re still just really

trying to get the word out. There are still a lot of people who don’t know much about roller derby, or that kind of shy away from it,” Dilny said.

Roller derby is a full-contact game, played on quad-skates. Two teams race around a track in groups called a pack, while one player of each team attempts to pass the pack to earn points. These girls are

called jammers and are easily recognized by the star on their helmet. The girls in the pack act to block the opposing jammer from passing through physical contact. Although, there are no elbows, hands or knees allowed.

Each girl is clad head to toe in safety gear including mouth guards, wrist guards, knee pads and helmets. Dilny said her main

priority in practice is to teach the girls how to fall and stop in a controlled fashion to reduce chances of injury.

July 12 will be the first bout that Smithereens have ever seen. Tickets will be available for purchase for $10 while suicide seating will be around $15.

“You’re front and centre and in the middle

of the action,” Dilny said. “Having girls flung at your feet pretty well.”

The Hudson Babes BV roller derby team will be represented at the Main Street Festival on June 15. They will be there to answer any questions, and of course, to skate around and look fierce.

“The doors are always open for any skill level, we don’t want to restrict anyone from

showing up,” Dilny said.

Practices are open for any one to drop in and check it out. Dilny and her team always has extra gear and for $5 you can skate around with some tough derby chicks and learn the basics.

A girl can get a decent set-up for around $200, including skates and all of the other gear.

The BVCS Royals’ golf team of Adam Veenstra, Joel Veenstra, Nathan Steenhof, Aaron Steenhof and Josh Veenstra has qualified for provincials for the first time in the school’s history.

Their golfers took on Houston Christian in a home and away, two round, winner take all qualifier last week, winning by a combined score of 745-567.

“I think making provincials is a big deal,” head coach Ron Van Driel said. “I was surprised by some of our scores in Houston, they did quite well.”

Round one was played at the Willow Grove Golf and Country club in Houston. Adam Veenstra led the way with a 74, followed closely by brother Joel, who shot a 79. After day one, the Royals led 418-323.

Head coach Ron Van Driel expected a strong performance in the return leg, but a few of the golfers struggled at home.

Still, they cruised to victory. Adam Veenstra was clutch again, shooting a 69, the best round on the day.

The team is off to Osoyoos to compete at provincials against 12-16 other teams from around the province.

Since it’s their first time at the competition, Van

Driel isn’t sure what to expect from his team.

“I think the goal

is going to finish in the top third, but, as a team, we are so young, this is a great

opportunity to get some experience.”

“At that age they have to learn to deal

with the pressure of playing golf, which can be difficult at times.”

The BVCS team is made up of two Grade 10 golfers, two Grade 8 golfers and one Grade 11.

At provincials, they’ll be going up against more experienced programs, comprised of juniors and seniors.

Normally, the winning teams shoot combined score averages in the low 80s, which will be difficult for the Royals to keep up with.

“The schools that are there year after year have really good golf programs.

“They are always replacing their older kids with younger ones, but we aren’t

quite at that point yet.”

In the lead up, the Royals’ golfers will continue to practice daily.

“Those guys are out there every day, trying to put in as much practice time as possible,” Van Driel added.

They head to Osoyoos on May 26 and 27.

After that, high school golf season in the Bulkley Valley will come to a close.

Final scoring from zones:

Adam Veenstra: (74-69-143), Joel Veenstra: (79-88-167), Nathan Steenhof: (82-87-169), Aaron Steenhof: (88-87-175) Josh Veenstra: (92-92-183).

COMMUNITY

By Alistair BurnsFor The Interior News

Catholics in Smithers will unite this weekend to celebrate a centenary of worshiping at St. Joseph’s Church. To mark the joyous occasion, Bishop Stephen Jensen of Prince George is travelling to the Bulkley Valley.

“From the very beginning of the town, the Catholic presence was there,” said Father Rectorino Tolentino, pastor of St. Joseph’s.

He estimated 200 families currently belong to the parish.

In 1913, the bustling railway town of Smithers, 375 kilometres northwest of Prince George, was founded. Just a year later the sacraments were available in St. Joseph’s Church.

The priest told his parishioners this jubilee is especially a “good reminder that God is always present in our midst, as the God of the past, present and future.”

Father Tolentino quoted the last verse of the Gospel of Matthew:

“Know that I am with you always; yes, to the end of time.”

Two days of centenary celebrations will include a banquet May 24.

The next morning Bishop Jensen will say Mass and welcome a number of people into the Church through the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults.

The Jubilee Committee has been planning the event since September.

They thanked local merchants, some of whom have been extremely generous in offering door prizes.

The theme for the gathering will be “Celebrating God’s faithful blessings, yesterday, today and tomorrow.”

Father Tolentino wrote that his parishioners continue to receive numerous blessings through community involvement by the Catholic Women’s League, the Knights of Columbus, and St. Joseph’s Elementary School.

Rosemary McKenzie, principal of St. Joseph’s

School, said, “People are coming to Smithers for this. Catholics are coming back for the celebrations.”

She pointed out that in February, students dressed up in everyday clothes from 1914 to recognize another centenary.

No plastic lunchboxes were allowed as 190 schoolchildren and teachers gathered in the gym for a picnic lunch and looked back on the year when a bloody conflict began that engulfed the world in war.

“In music class, students learned old songs from the era,” McKenzie said.

Father Tolentino asked the faithful to seek guidance from St. Joseph, who “from the very beginning has been and will remain the silent and humble protector of the Catholic presence in the Bulkley Valley.”

Smithers Relay for Life looking for more participantsBy Marisca BakkerSmithers/Interior News

The Canadian Cancer Society’s Relay for Life is looking for more participants for this year’s event.

The annual fundraiser takes place in Smithers on June 7 from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m.

Canadian Cancer Society community giving coordinator Michelle Taylor said

they are hoping more teams sign up soon. There are nine teams registered but normally in Smithers, about 25 teams participate.

She added there is incentive for signing up soon. Teams that sign up before May 30, will get a ballot for every $300 they raise to be entered into a draw for a $1,000 travel voucher from Hawkair.

Last year’s event brought in about $60,000. The goal this year is to raise about

$65,000. All the money raised goes to help support the Canadian Cancer Society with research, prevention initiatives, financial assistance, Camp Good Times and accommodation for cancer patients at the Kordyban Lodge in Prince George. In the past year, 89 people from Smithers and Telkwa have stayed at the lodge while receiving medical treatment.

Taylor said the event isn’t just about raising money. The relay kicks off with

a victory lap for cancer survivors. She said this gives the community a chance to applaud survivors’ fights against cancer. There will also be a luminary ceremony where survivors are honoured and loved ones that were lost to cancer are remembered. Luminaries are lit and the aim is to provide light and inspiration to participants.

People can register for the relay on the Canadian Cancer Society’s website.

The innovative potential of northwestern B.C. was made clear at SNCIRE’s Northwest Innovation Challenge hosted in Terrace May 9.

SNCIRE, or the Skeena-Nass Centre for Innovation and Resource Economics, hosted the innovation contest for the first time and communications director, Sarah Artis, couldn’t be more excited about the results.

“I was so impressed by all the different types of ideas,” Artis said.

“I really do think this showed how much creativity there is in our region.”

Fifteen-year-old Brandon Greenall from Hazelton took home the Mountain Prize of $1,750 for his upcycled solar heater.

Inspired by the frightful costs of heating houses in the winter months,

Greenall began to research a new way to keep warm. In his research he came across convection heaters.

Greenall’s solar heater was constructed out of 120 aluminum cans, a recycled battery, salvaged wiring and computer fans, recycled insulation and a solar panel.

“The heating output of the solar heating

was outstanding!” he said, even if there was clouds or minus degree weather.

“Who knew a bunch of cans and scraps could be thrown together to create a money saving, green heating alternative that has the power to decrease your monthly utility bill and your emissions?” he said.

Applicants were asked to innovate something that would

“Turn the Model Upside Down,” They were evaluated by a panel of eight judges based on the strength of the innovation, the regional relevancy, the potential impact and their enthusiasm.

“Judging is always kind of crazy, but when you like something so much and you’re really into it, it’s quite a breeze,” he said.

This is not

Greenall’s first win with this device. Last year he entered a solar power heater in the regional science fair and later bronzed in the Canada-Wide Science Fair in Lethbridge, Alta.

“It was really fun, and I definitely like working with this kind of design,” Greenall said, adding that he would enter again next year.

More than 100 people were there to check out the 12 finalists’ innovations and $8,500 was awarded to the prize winners, including Smithers’ own, Claire Lesawich.

Lesawich took home the Rock Prize worth $1,000 for her theory, “Wood Ash replaces Road Salt.” The seventh grader conducted a research project that illustrates the advantages of using wood ash instead of road salt for traction.

“It was a really cool experience, I’ve never been to anything like that before,” Lesawich said of the challenge.

Glenwood WI celebrates 69 years

Correction: in my last column I reported on

the AGM for Friends of the Library as April 28 and it is May 28! Everyone invited to attend. Learn what was done last year and what is planned for the coming year.

April 26, The Glenwood Women’s Institute (WI) hosted the 69th Bulkley Tweedsmuir District WI Conference, gathering 31 women from four Branches: the Southside WI, Quick WI, South Hazelton WI and Glenwood WI. Delegates from the four Branches spoke on “What the Women’s Institute Means to Me.” Held elections. Coffee breaks overflowed with sweets, lunch was homemade soups, buns, sandwich fillings and more sweets.

Pauline Mahoney spoke eloquently on free trade chocolate. We viewed a short film on the young people enslaved to pick the cocoa beans, held captive without pay in terrible conditions. I now look at chocolate differently. We had a demonstration on

propagating plants from Carla Attherton, Sheri Wertz, Janet Harris, all belonged to the Driftwood Garden Club.

For fun Joanne Nugent and Shelley Worthington took out guitars and led us all in old time songs.

The silent auction had wonderful donations from Harley Davidson, Winterland, others were a basket of cookies, several hats and scarves, goodie bags from the BVCU filled with fudge from Heartstrings, beautiful smelling soap from Narnia Farms, handmade bookmarks, pens and paper, a coupon for Pharmasave. A Bring and Buy table overflowed with garage sale items.

I bought a stuffy for Rosie the Pug, she

expects something if I am away for a day. So good to see everyone enjoying themselves, visiting, singing along, sharing wonderful food and memories.

Years wrinkle the skin; but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul.

Don’t forget: May 24, Giant Garage Sale at the Glenwood Hall. Call Fay, 250-847-9539 to rent a table, $10, we do the advertising. Do your garage sale in comfort!

Saturday marked the day that Rough Acres Bible Camp celebrated the renaming of their dining hall to reflect upon the camp’s heritage and the Pousette family’s involvement in the start-up of the camp.

The building is now named the Pousette Dining Hall.

At the celebration,John Pousette and his wife Evelyn received a plaque that honoured their hard work and contributions to the camp.

Stewart Christensen

shared stories of John and said that his colleagues will always remember that he is brilliant, humble and compassionate, a religious scholar and a man of God.

“He is always looking out for others,” Christensen said.

Pousette had a relaxed and content expression the entire evening. After all, he was surrounded by his camp family. The family that he helped start.

Saturday was also Rough Acres’ annual fundraising dinner event. A silent auction, including original artwork and photography, handcrafted items and a guitar were up for grabs. All the proceeds

went to the camp. Rough Acres Bible

Camp is an outdoor camp that offers youth a week-long escape into the wilderness to live in a “group atmosphere where Christian leaders have an opportunity to share Christ’s love and forgiveness,” according to their website.

The camp was established in 1973 and summer camps have been going on for more than 30 years, usually hosting around 300 summer students between the ages of six and 17.

The kids are provided with three square meals and tuck—a term

referring to snacks, usually consisting of sweets.

A typical day at summer camp is jam-packed with activities including field games, archery, arts and crafts, kayaking, canoeing, team building exercises and chapel.

Of course, no day is complete without a campfire with hot chocolate and sing-a-longs.

By the time the day is done the kids retire to their cabins pooped and amped for what’s in store for tomorrow.

Andrew Hillaby has met many people through volunteering at the camp. He’s been donating his

time for more than six years. He said that the camp is a magical place.

“It is a place where campers can be who they are, and they make friends really quickly,” he said.

Hillaby said that many teens who aren’t keen at first end up being the ones who never want to leave, and they are the first to re-register.

“I’m actually getting teary eyed,” he added, underscoring the power of the camp and the strength of the community.

Summer camps run in July and August, but the campsite is rarely empty.

The facility is also available for rentals for

school trips and marriage retreats.

Rough Acres requires up to 80 volunteers over the summer who are between the age of 15 and seniors. They come from all over. Many are from Vancouver, Calgary and Prince Rupert.

“It’s quite a place,” Andrew Hillaby said.

“Most kids beg to come back to camp,” Janice Hillaby, the camp’s executive director, said.

Janice said that she is excited for this summer and that the numbers of those already registered are fairly high.

MAY 22, 23, & 24Cullen skeptical

of tanker rulesBy Cameron OrrKitimat/Interior News

The Government of Canada announced last week that they will be implementing new tanker safety systems which were first brought forward by the Tanker Safety Expert Panel.

However Skeena-Bulkley Valley MP Nathan Cullen does not believe these new measures actually amount to improvement.

The government says that, among the recommendations, they will establish new area response planning for regions projected to have high levels of tanker traffic.

The region encompassing Kitimat however is not highlighted. Among the areas are St. John and the Bay of Fundy, Port Hawkesbury, Nova Scotia, and the Gulf of St. Lawrence, Quebec.

The announcement will alter Canada’s Ship-Source Oil Pollution Fund, including removal of the $161 million limit of per-incident liability “in order to make available the full amount of the SOPF for a single incident — currently around $400 million.”

The SOPF will also now compensate those who have lost earnings due to an oil spill even if their property was not contaminated by a spill.

Cullen, meanwhile, sees no value in the announcement and said it merely attempts to reassure the public ahead of a Northern Gateway decision.

“The announcement looks like what it actually is which is trying to soften the mood in B.C. against supertankers on the coast and oil pipelines. But when you get into the details more and more you start to get a bit more worried.”

He said the upcoming decision by the federal government on the proposal has put Prime Minister Stephen Harper between a

“political rock and a hard place” and that Harper has to convince a reluctant public about the risks associated with oil spills.

In this instance though, taxpayers are still on the hook for spills over $400 million, which is not much considering the Kalamazoo River spill in Michigan has cost Enbridge in the ballpark of $1 billion.

“We think the polluters should pay and that means all of it, the idea that they have this liability caps is not something we give to any other industry,” he said.

By Marisca BakkerKispiox Valley/Interior News

Concerns are growing about the amount of water being taken from the Kispiox River by a LNG company doing exploratory work.

Shannon McPhail, executive director of Skeena Watershed Conservation Coalition said it is a very confusing situation because of the changes coming to the Water Sustainability Act and whether the Ministry of Environment or the BC Oil and Gas Commission is supposed to regulate the water use.

“What used to be illegal, is now legal, that is in the unregulated and unlicensed water withdraw, sucking up water from rivers and streams for oil and gas activity,” she said.

“The OGC gave a drilling permit to TransCanada to drill on both sides of the Kispiox River

and told them they did not need a licence to suck up 5,000 litres of water a day, up to 150,000 over the duration of the drilling, which is unprecedented.”

McPhail said she contacted both the MOE and OGC to find out why this is allowed and both pointed her back to the other. She’s frustrated with the lack of answers.

“LNG is proposing to come to our watershed and they promised to be open and transparent and to work with communities but this is the exact opposite of that.”

McPhail’s father Gene Allen lives near the river where the drilling is taking place.

“I can’t legally put a pump into the river and water our garden and yet they have tickets to remove 5,000 litres per day out of the river. Right where they are removing water is where the steelhead spawn.”

Correction In the May 14, 2014 Sullivan RV advertisement, there was an error on our part. The

advertisement should have read taxes and $469 doc fee not included. Lakes District News apologizes

for any inconvenience this may have caused.

By Marisca BakkerHazelton/Interior News

A resolution co-sponsored by the District of New Hazelton was endorsed by the North Central Local Government Association at their annual general meeting recently.

The NCLGA will support lobbying the provincial government to make the necessary changes to BC Hydro to allow all communities to reach locally appropriate solutions to switch BC Hydro-owned streetlights to LED.

New Hazelton Mayor Gail Lowry said this will help achieve carbon neutrality because streetlights represent a significant portion of electrical usage. She said BC Hydro owns most of the streetlights in the district and there is currently no way to allow them to change lights to LED, even if they pays for the retrofit. Currently, the district pays the electricity bill for the lights and LED technology could save the community up to 65 per cent in electrical consumption and carbon emissions.

Port Clements, Queen Charlotte, Masset and Stewart teamed up with New Hazelton to bring the resolution forward.

Lowry attended the annual meeting in Fort St. John along with Councillor Ray Sturney and chief administrative officer Wendy Hunt.

The resolution will be passed along to the Union of British Columbia Municipalities for their support in September.

VAN BAARSEN, Ali (nee OUD)May 22, 1930 – May 9, 2014

After a courageous battle with cancer we announce the peaceful passing of Ali at the age of 83. She is now at peace. Born in the Beemster, Netherlands, Ali was the youngest daughter of 12 loving brothers and sisters. Ali married John on July 18 1957 and in January 1964, Ali, John and their two young sons Peter and Albert immigrated to Canada. They lived in Smithers, BC where their daughter Mari was born. In 1970 they moved to Ladner, BC, shortly after Ali proudly became a Canadian Citizen. Ali and John had a genuinely caring relationship, based on mutual respect and support with a deep love for each other. They loved travelling and filled their retirement years with many overseas adventures. Ali’s children and grandchildren were the pride and joy of her life. The legacy of Ali’s kind spirit and zest for life will live on through them. Ali was a beautiful woman, a wonderful wife, sister, sister in law, loving mother and Oma. She loved people, always had a smile, looked for connection everywhere, forgave easily, considered the feelings of others and stood strong in her beliefs when it counted. Ali will be greatly missed by all who knew her. Ali is survived by her husband, John of nearly 57 years, her children, Peter, Albert and Mari and her grandchildren, Amanda, Adam, Andrew, Katie, Sarah, and Mackenzie & Lachlan (in New Zealand) Thank you to family, friends, nurses and doctors who have all cared for Ali, and a special thanks to Dr. Ken Lai. A Celebration of Ali’s life will be held on May 22nd at 2pm at Valley View Funeral Home Chapel, 14660 – 72nd Ave, Surrey. Donations will be gratefully acknowledged to either your local Hospice or The Irene Thomas Hospice in Ladner.

Restoring a ‘67Mustang!

DrivewayCanada.ca

By Caitlin ClowHazelton/Interior News

John Field Elementary School in Old Hazelton is getting a new name and logo.

The school will now be called Majagaleehl Gali Aks to better represent the community and students.

The new name means “flowers of the rivers,” referring to both the children and the numerous waterways in Gitxsan territory.

Although the new name originates from the Gitxsan language, principal Mark Newbery understands the importance of recognizing all aspects of the school’s culture.

“There was a request that we somewhere, somehow, recognize the French curriculum that we are teaching at this school,” Newbery said, adding that the French immersion program is a big part of the school.

Principal Newbery said that 80 per cent of the student body is Gitxsan so the name change “provides a sense of ownership.”

“It helps the kids see their culture reflected, respected and recognized by the

school,” he said. Despite the tricky spelling, “most people

not familiar with the Gitxsan language can pronounce it with some degree of accuracy after practicing anyway,” he reassured.

Newbery explained that the process of choosing the new name was a community effort including students, teachers, a committee, local chiefs and elders.

The logo will be done in a similar fashion. “We put out a request to local artists with

the direction that the logo should celebrate the English, French and Gitxsan,” Newbery said.

The grand prize is $500 and the contest is open to all local artists.

“The logo will represent the name, so, a river, a flower, and then perhaps, three Gitxsan symbols—each one representative of English, Gitxsan, and French,” he said hoping to spark the creative juices in local artists.

Newbery said that by the contest closes at the end of May and they are hoping to have plenty of entries to choose from.

“It’s exciting!” The name change and logo will be in

place for next school year.

New camping rules introduced for Kispiox Valley Rodeo

This year’s Kispiox Valley Rodeo is May 31 to June 1.The Interior News file photo


The Kispiox Valley Rodeo is coming up and some changes around camping are coming.

Spokesperson Brenda Nelson said this year they will be enforcing the policy of no early camping at the rodeo grounds. She said this is in response to parking and camping problems in the past. Campers may start coming in on Thursday, May 29 from 5 to 9 p.m. and then after 8 a.m. on Friday for the rest of the weekend. Nelson said there are no reservations.

The gates will be locked during the week prior to the rodeo. There is a private campground at 2058 Kispiox Valley Road that campers can use as an alternative before the event.

The rodeo will be held on May 31 to June 1. There will be entertainment and rodeo action with food concessions, including the famous BBQ Beef.

New Hazelton RCMP responded to 77 calls during the week of week of May 8-14.

May 8 - 10:05 p.m., police were called to the 3900 block of Pugsley Ave. in New Hazelton where a male wearing a cowboy hat, white shirt and blue jeans was seen attempting to gain entry to a residence. The male was frightened off by a neighbour.

May 8 - 9:24 p.m., while patrolling Gitanmaax, police located an intoxicated male urinating in the Fire Hall parking lot. The male was identified and determined to be on release conditions which prevented him from being outside his home while intoxicated. The male was arrested and released the following day. Charges are pending.

May 9 - 2:30 a.m., police

Shirley Stanley-Belisle is running a marathon in Iceland to raise money for the Canadian Diabetes Association.

The chronic disease, in which the body either can neither produce insulin or properly use the insulin it produces, affects more than nine million Canadians, including Stanley-Belisle’s granddaughter.

Brianna was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes in September at the age of 10.

“She gives her self insulin five times a day,” she said.

“She’s a real trooper. After only a couple of months, she was giving her

own injections. But it is a struggle all the time. It was a life-changing experience and she is still coming to terms with it,” Stanley-Belisle said.

“There isn’t much you can do except support her and her family. I can run, so I decided to join Team Diabetes and run a marathon in Iceland. We wanted something positive to come out of her diagnosis.”

She has named her team, Team Banana, because that’s her nickname for her granddaughter.

Stanley-Belisle has almost raised her goal of $6,100. She said she has had amazing support from the community. Most of the donations have come in at her bake sale, a fitness day and

a garage sale. She has also been selling banana bread to tie in with her team name.

Anyone still wishing to contribute can do so on the Canadian Diabetes website. Stanley-Belisle’s profile is on the site so people can donate directly to her run.

“I don’t think my run in Iceland is going to cure diabetes but hopefully some money will go into the research pot and maybe one day there will be a cure.”

Stanley-Belisle’s family will be traveling with her to Reykjavik, Iceland in August. Some members of the family will being doing smaller portions of the race.

The run is on August 23.

Davis Sheremata, Spokesperson for TransCanada Corporation, said they have provided the OGC with Environment Management Plans. He said they are withdrawing freshwater from the Kispiox River, but only a small amount.

According to the Water Act, TransCanada does not have to seek approval to withdraw water for its geotechnical activities because it is not located in a park, the diversion point is not less than five metres wide and it is not legally designated as sensitive or a stream subject to a temporary reduction order under the Fish Protection Act.

“OGC is the approving authority, and they carefully review each application to ensure it meets the appropriate standards before any activity can take place,” Sheremata said in an email. “Notification is also given to local aboriginal communities prior to commencement. In the cases of the Skeena and Kispiox

drilling, we have the support of the Gitxsan houses on whose traditional territory the drilling is taking place.”

Near the Kispiox River, TransCanada has been given investigative permits to conduct borehole drilling. It is being done back from riverbanks, typically 50 to 70 metres, and Sheremata said there is no impact on the rivers during testing.

He explained the drilling is being done to determine the technical feasibility of safely constructing a pipeline at each crossing.

The testing is being done for the proposed Prince Rupert Gas Transmission Project that would deliver natural gas from a point near Hudson’s Hope to the proposed Pacific NorthWest LNG facility on Lelu Island, within the District of Port Edward, if approved.

The project is currently being reviewed by the B.C. Environmental Assessment Office.

- Catherine Pennington, Senior Manager, Community Benefi ts & Sustainability

“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.
