HANGING AROUNDRosalie Brandsma has had the opportunity to take some amazing pictures this summer of bears hanging around her family’s property on the Telkwa Highroad. “I walk every day, and don’t really feel afraid,” she said. “However, I do have to be very aware of where the mother and cubs are so I don’t get in between them.”

Mixed reaction to

transparency act

By Ryan JensenSmithers/Interior News

Three northwest B.C. First Nations’ bands are among the few Canadian aboriginal groups who are following new federal transparency rules by posting their financial statements online.

The First Nations Financial Transparency Act, which was passed by the federal government last year, requires band councils to make public their audited financial statements for the last year within 120 days of their first quarter. That deadline was midnight Aug. 5.

As of Monday’s press deadline, the Moricetown, Gitwangak and Gitsegukla bands had the information posted online.

The Hagwilget, Kispiox, Glen Vowell, Gitanyow and Gitanmaax bands did not.

As of late last week, about 200 of the 617 First Nations’ bands had complied with the new act.

“First Nations, like all Canadians, deserve transparency and accountability from their elected officials,” said Bernard Valcourt,

minister of aboriginal affairs and northern development, in a prepared statement. “This act is one example of how our government is taking action to ensure First Nations have access to information detailing how public funds are spent in their communities.”

On the Moricetown Band’s Schedule of Salaries document, the top two earners on council are Chief Barry Nikal and councillor Margaret LaRose. Nikal was paid a base salary of $63,466 and LaRose earned $52,806. After honoraria and travel costs, the amounts increase to $76,797 and $55,636, respectively.

A large part of Nikal’s salary was for his work as the manager of Kyahwood Forest Products, he added. His chief’s salary amounts to less than $10,000 annually, he said.

Nikal said it was a priority of the band to be upfront about how much the council is paid.

“There’s nothing wrong with having to be transparent about your wages,” Nikal said.

Tahltan blockade Red ChrisBy Ryan JensenSmithers/Interior News

The Klabona Keepers of the Tahltan Nation have set up a blockade of the Red Chris copper/gold mine property in response to the Mount Polley disaster.

Red Chris is owned by Imperial Metals, the same company who operates the Mount Polley Mine. Last Monday, a tailings dam failed,

spilling billions of litres of waste water and silt into creeks, lakes and rivers in the Cariboo region.

The Red Chris copper/gold mine is located 80 kilometres south of Dease Lake.

The Klabona Keepers began their blockade at 1 p.m. last Friday.

Spokesperson Rhoda Quock was not immediately available for comment.

Imperial Metals is the sole owner of the Red Chris mine.

They also have a 50 per cent stake in the Huckleberry Mine.

According to their website, the Klabona Keepers is an organization of Tahltan elders and families who live and use traditional lands in the Iskut area.

Imperial Metals vice president of corporate development Steve Robertson said he expected the mine to reach the commercial production stage in October or November. See FIRST on A3

Boston Pizza getting set to re-openBy Ryan JensenSmithers/Interior News

Boston Pizza is back. The restaurant is

familiar but you will hardly recognize the inside—the entire bar and restaurant is being redone, said general manager and part owner Adin Bennett.

It will again be one of the best places in town to watch sports, he said.

The setup will feature 10 60-inch TVs and four 70-inch sets.

“Every seat will have a good viewing

position,” he said. The Team Room

is gone and a stage is

being built.The restaurant will

be open until midnight

during the week and later on weekends, giving travellers and

residents another late-night eating option.

Bennett knows the Bulkley Valley well. His family used to live in Smithers but moved away in 1989.

He most recently lived in Prince George before coming back and joining an ownership team with Stuart Ramsay and Chad Kinsley.

“I’m just really happy to be back in Smithers, it’s such a beautiful place,” he said.

Boston Pizza will open in the first or second week of September.

Airport secures equipment funding By Ryan JensenSmithers/Interior News

The Smithers Regional Airport is three for three.

This week, the Town of Smithers announced they had received funding for two more pieces of equipment through the federal government’s Airports Capital Assistance Program. One is to purchase a runway sweeper for just more than $208,000 and the second is to buy a plow

truck and plow, with a price tag of $259,000.

In March, the town was also successful in securing about $255,000 to replace an aging ramp hog plow, a piece of equipment used to clear snow around the terminal.

“Our airport equipment has been aging and maintenance has become an expense and it’s time to replace these pieces of equipment,” Smithers Mayor Taylor Bachrach said. “It will be something that will make it easier for us to

operate really efficient airport services for the travelling public.”

To receive three ACAP grants in the same year is unusual, Bachrach noted, especially since the town had been unsuccessful in its last six attempts to secure funding.

“It is somewhat unprecedented and it’s certainly something we hoped for but we didn’t expect it,” he said. “I’d like to give kudos to our airport manager, Rob Blackburn, for his work on this.”

Last December, the town held a meeting with Stikine MLA Doug Donaldson and Skeena-Bulkley Valley MP Nathan Cullen and asked for their help in securing the funding. Both men wrote letters to federal Transport Minister Lisa Raitt, expressing how important the facility is to the town and the region.

The funding announcements come at a great time for the Town of Smithers. They recently opened up the airport lands for

industrial subdivision, a marketing plan with new logo has been created and they are working on a phased terminal expansion.

“The airport has really been a strong, strategic focus of this town council and we’ve been investing a lot of resources and time trying to position our airport as a competitive facility in the region,” Bachrach said.

“This funding announcement really fits into all this in a really important way.”

First Nations have 120 days to complyAccording to the

financial statement for the year ending March 31, 2014, the Moricetown Band received about $5.44 million from Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development Canada, about $725,000 from the provincial government and earned about $2.3 million through the gas bar.

The band spent almost $3.2 million in wages and benefits over that same time period.

Gitwangak chief councillor Brian Burke, over a period of 11 months, took home just more than $4,500, which is made up of a $3,000 honourarium and $1,183 in travel expenses. Councillors Debbie Bright and Lana Maitland made $65,145 and $45,346,

respectively, including a $3,600 honourarium and travel expenses.

None of the chief or councillors of the Gitsegukla band earned more than $7,000, not including travel expenses, according to their Schedule of Remuneration and Expenses.

The Gitanyow Band is currently working on getting together the

financial information, said administrator Beverly Russell.

“As far as I know, we’re waiting for our audited financial statements to be received and once they’re signed off on, they’ll be turned over to the Gitxsan Government Commission to be posted,” Russell said.

Calls to the Hagwilget, Kispiox,

Glen Vowell and Gitanmaax bands were not returned.

First Nations who do not follow the new act may have federal funding withheld and active grants may be terminated until they comply.

From ACT on Front


We all know about the three

Rs —reduce, reuse, recycle—but what may not be so well known is that not all the Rs are created equal.

Though recycling may be the easiest of the Rs to live by, we have to try to incorporate the other two Rs into our lives as part of our daily habits. Recycling is not the be all, end all solution for waste disposal; indeed it is the least favorable of all the three Rs.

The most important ‘R’ is reduce—this means making an effort to reduce the amount of waste each of us produces by

decreasing our use of disposable products, purchasing products with less packaging, and trying to use what we have before buying new. Bring your own Tupperware for take-out food, your own bags for purchases and your own cup for coffee to go. You will be surprised at how much waste can be reduced just by eliminating many single-use, disposable items from your life.

The second R in the hierarchy, reuse, reminds us to get crafty and think about alternative uses for items that we already have. Jars can turn into drinking glasses, a paper bag can wrap

a gift and plastic take-out cutlery can be used for picnics or kids’ lunches. Save papers, cardboard and magazines for crafts, donate them to a local school for the art program. Use yogurt containers and coffee cans to organize your

workshop, office space or shed.

And lastly, there’s recycle. Recycling should be considered a last resort for items that you cannot avoid purchasing/receiving (usually packaging) and items that cannot be reused for another purpose.

Recycling is not the ideal solution to our waste problem, however, for now, we have to do the best we can with the systems that we have in place. Also, we should be constantly working toward finding new solutions and innovations for our waste problems.

We can also expand on the traditional three Rs: refuse, rethink,

recreate, and reinvent. Finding creative and new ways to divert waste from the landfill can be fun and fulfilling. When we throw something “away” think about where exactly that “away” is and how it is affecting other people, wildlife and the natural beauty of our world.

Let us all remember to use less, use what we already have and rethink ways to keep items out of the landfills.

GUEST VIEWAlexie Stephens

The hierarchy of the three Rs

The B.C. government’s intentions for the Agricultural Land Reserve have been clarified by a public consultation that

proposes new commercial and industrial uses on farmland.

Political watchers may recall that this was the hill the NDP was prepared to die on this spring. It was going to be a farmland looting spree for right-wing property developers and all hope of “food security” would be dashed.

As I attempted to explain at the time, the changes have little or nothing to do with ALR exclusions. Now a discussion paper poses a series of questions, some of which illustrate the need to bring farmland regulations up to date.

The first one deals with restrictions on retail sales, a case study in arbitrary state control. There is a strict maximum floor space. A minimum one half of retail sales must be produced on that farm. Food packing, preparation and processing are similarly restricted.

This requires multiple duplicate operations of questionable viability. It brings to mind Mao Tse Tung’s Great Leap Forward, where farmers all had little iron smelting furnaces out back to make tools. But I digress.

And did you know that wineries and cideries are allowed on farmland but breweries, distilleries and meaderies aren’t? (Mead is made from honey, and doesn’t have to be drunk from a bronze mug while wearing a horned helmet.)

There are proposals to bypass the Agricultural Land Commission for certain kinds of farmland subdivision in zone two. These are where the subdivided parcels are a quarter section (160 acres) or bigger, or where they are divided by a road or waterway.

And finally there are proposed exemptions from ALC scrutiny of leases, to allow “intergenerational transfer,” so retiring farmers don’t have to plead for state permission to remain on their own property. Another exemption would “encourage the use of otherwise unfarmed land by existing or new farmers.”

NDP agriculture critic Lana Popham, who circulated a photo of herself with a samurai sword in a theatrical “Kill Bill 24” campaign, continues to insist that these changes open up 90 per cent of ALR land for “development.”

It’s a hypocritical as well as a misleading statement, since a portion of her own Saanich farm property is rented to a successful craft gin distillery.

Tom Fletcher

POINT OF VIEW

Farm changes a leap ahead

Why not just stay home?

Editor: When hearing a pretty

minor complaint, someone, no doubt wiser and more content than most, responded, “Find something real to worry about.”

I am not heeding this advice because after a recent trip to the recycle depot on Tatlow Road, I felt like committing hari kari and I don’t even work there.

At the depot, every sad, sagging bin I deposited recyclables in had “stuff” in it that didn’t belong.

Honestly. Like in the plastic milk jug bin some brainiac had put in milk cartons. Duh. It’s not what’s on the inside that counts. Other items also tossed in which weren’t like the others were clear plastic fruit trays and fruit juice bottles which could be returned for cash.

Then there was the lazy do-gooder who dutifully hauled down a half a dozen boxes, neatly nestled one inside the other and left them stacked in front of the slot marked ‘flattened cardboard.’ Really. Also propped up in front of the slot was a slightly damaged marble rolling pin—no doubt put there by someone sure that it would go to a needy home. Ever heard of the Recycle Shed at the Transfer Station?

In the rubber trash cans designated for the charitable donation of cash returnable bottles and cans were several foil pie plates. And predictably there were a number of non-returnable glass bottles in there too—including a large olive oil jug. Like that can be taken in for cash by the children of the orphanage or the Save the Honeybee Foundation.

Finally, when I went to discard my emptied bags into the “film bags only please” bin, I discovered the wording had been interpreted to mean “for your vehicle and other garbage, please.” Wow.

You know, people have to voluntarily drive to this depot which is conveniently located next to nothing and on the way to nowhere. And then some of them indulge in this kind of slovenliness? It makes no sense.

Why make such an effort to practice stupidity? Stay home.

R. McKenzieSmithers

Fundamental rights not being observed

Editor: Sir, in reply to Jerry

Mencl’s letter where he writes “...it’s irrelevant what the public wants or doesn’t want.”

In matters of rights, the rights of Canadians, the Canadian courts are our walls of security in maintaining an ethically coherent society to counter the whims and greed of those wishing to profit or benefit from unethical behaviour.

There are several large corporations and a federal government that wish to diminish the rights of Canadians so that great wealth can be generated without observing these fundamental rights, in this case in resource extraction.

Do we wish to compromise our rights so that we may financially benefit?

Keith Cummings

Telkwa

Move changes perspective

Editor: I have just returned back

home from a visit to the beautiful Bulkley Valley. I think we can all agree, “It is a place of incredible

beauty.” I’m sure we “all want clean water, wild salmon, and local job opportunities for our kids and grandkids.” As for opportunity—I dare say the valley lacks this in many forms.

I for one (among many I know) left the valley that nurtured and raised me for lack of opportunity. Walmart would provide a lot more jobs and opportunity for our children and grandchildren, than say the one family run and operated hardware store on Main Street, as just one example. Boston Pizza would for instance provide more jobs and opportunities. It would also perpetuate and generate a town and region character more conducive to increased tourism, influx of people and maybe somewhat stem the exodus of your young people, which would be your most valuable “natural resource.”

I understand the instinct to try to keep things as they were, and the heartache of the family business becoming obsolete. I fear this myopic and stagnant worldview is not healthy for

this valley. It is better for one business to become obsolete, than the whole town or region. To keep things the same, because of fear of progress and industry, is to be left behind by your youth, your fellow Canadians and globally. To borrow some of the

tactics of the “no” camp that I see in their arguments (mainly the hyperbole and fear mongering). Barkerville has stayed the same for many decades, with no new development, jobs or projects.

Yes, there is no “evidence” in Grant Harris’ editorial. However, one could argue that anecdotal evidence (examples seen in the way life plays out for others), is sometimes more succinct than numbers, percentages and figures. Development, projects, industry et cetera does bring money, people, exposure, influx, a core and foundation to build a life, to prosper, to enjoy the pursuit of happiness. They do perpetuate an atmosphere of relevance and create an attraction for people (tourists, citizens, young people and taxpayers).

When reader’s responses, I saw no facts, or possibility of facts, anecdotal or otherwise. I read innuendos and assumptions purported to be facts.

It is not proven that Enbridge is a bad project. It is assumed and almost wished really hard.

They seem to be under the

belief that if you wish it hard enough and try to force that belief on enough people, then it is true.

“Pipelines spill frequently.” Really, there’s only three or four I can think of over the last what 30 years in North America. Compare that to all the oil transported over all the thousands and thousands of miles of pipeline crisscrossing all over North America, and you have catastrophic facts to engage in fear mongering to champion your point of view at the expense of all your neighbours and fellow citizens who would benefit from the project. Yes there was one Exxon Valdez accident 25 years ago. Did you catch that? Twenty-five years ago.

“ ...locating a terminal in the Skeena Salmon Nursery.” Maybe we can have them swim through the pipes. A terminal in Kitimat is not in the nursery.

“I am united with the majority of British Columbians (against Enbridge)” Really? I could agree perhaps “with the majority of extremists and vocal fear mongerers who always seem to have more time for protest than the silent majority of people who are quietly working and positively contributing to their communities.” Yours is an assumed majority hoping to sway others to your cause.

“ ....jobs probably filled by temporary foreign workers.” Hint: if a sentence begins with probably, it is not a fact.

“Some of us might have higher standards and don’t believe in any job at any cost.” If you are that superior to me, and I am such an irresponsible, destructive, ignorant hick, how can I deem to shake your hand at the Fall Fair.

Some questions to ponder:Where does the money come

from to provide tourism, increase the education budget, and maintain and service a living, growing, vibrant citizenship?

If you continue to snub and frustrate an industry (oil) that fuels your homes, automobiles, fishing boats, logging trucks and tractors, what will become of your industries when the oil industry falters?

If you continue to negate, or frustrate the concerns of your neighbour province, how long before they no longer want to visit you (tourism), buy your fish (fisheries), your milk (dairy) or work with your lumber (logging)?

Multi-sport camp comes to Smithers

By Kendra WongSmithers/Interior News

Young athletes have the opportunity to lace up their cleats and tie up their sneakers with a brand new multi-sports camp , the first of its kind in the Bulkley Valley.

In addition to the annual British Soccer Camp, Challenger Sports is also offering a new week-long British Multi Sports Camp that combines soccer, rugby, tennis and cricket.

“This is the only British multi-sport camp in the area. It’s unique to Smithers,” said Richard Unsworth, regional director of B.C. for Challenger Sports. “It’s a combination of other sports from the U.K. that kids might not know too much about or might not have experienced before and give them a taste of something British.”

Unsworth added the camp will provide kids with an opportunity to learn about a new sport.

“For those who have never found a sport that they loved, maybe this is something that will give them a unique experience and maybe a love for something they never thought about before,” he said.

Participants will learn technical skills and take part in daily

drills and tournament-style play from qualified instructors.

Andrew Hillaby, director of recreation, parks and culture with the Town of Smithers, hopes the camp will inspire people to start new clubs in the community.

“It will open [people’s eyes to] rugby and tennis and maybe that will bring out a few more people, maybe that will spur people on to create a new Smithers rugby club and create a new Smithers tennis club,” he said.

In the past, they have had roughly 75 to 100 people sign up for the soccer camp and are expecting roughly 20 to 30 participants for the multi-sport camp.

“It’ll be a fun week for them and an introduction to some unique and fun sports that we’ve grown up with and experienced in Britain for many years,” said Unsworth.

The British Soccer Camp runs from Aug. 18-22 at Chandler Park field.

The multi-sport camp runs from Aug. 25-29 at Chandler Park and Montreal Street tennis courts and costs $154 for the week. All equipment is included.

For more information about the camp visit challengersports.com.

Registration can be done at the Town Hall at 250-847-1600.

A Smithers resident won one of the few disc golf tournament in Northern B.C. with a narrow victory over his competitors last weekend.

Byron Turner took home the top prize in the advanced category, finishing with a minus one and beating his competition only by a few strokes during the 2014 Trilogy Tournament at Ranger Park Sunday afternoon.

“It was great. It was a really clean game, lots of pars and not a lot of bogeys,” said Turner.

“I didn’t win by much though, the second and third winners were only a couple of strokes

behind me so it was really close after all.”

But it was the last of the 12-hole course where Turner faced the most trouble, he admitted.

“I birdied out the last hole and dropped

back to minus one, which is below par,” he said, adding that he tried to keep the game simple, playing for par and tossing close to the basket.

Glen Ingram and Mark Parminter finished second and third, respectively, in the advanced category after an intense

sudden-death three-hole playoff.

Isaiah Sinclair came in first in the novice category shooting nine over par with Val Anderson in second place with 16 over

par.In the tournament,

each of the 17 participants were given three brand new discs to play with that are not yet on the market.

According to tournament organizer, Ben Anderson, the discs did give some players trouble, but

it also helped get all participants on an even keel.

“It definitely evened the playing field,” said Anderson. “There were people who haven’t played all year and they did

really well . . . but everyone was pretty excited to get new discs. It really made you slow down and think about your shots.”

Turner agreed that playing with new discs was a challenge.

“It was really sketchy, you’re not quite sure what

they’re going to do,” he said.

Rebecca Goalder, who came in last shooting 26 over par, said the terrain was the most challenging part of the tournament for her.

“It was two holes that took me down, I don’t know what it was, but my disc was magnetically attracted to trees,” she said. “Otherwise, I would have been on par with all the people in my group.”

Despite coming in last, Goalder said she would try it again.

“It’s always a good time when you come out and do it. I’ll never be as competitive as some of the guys here who do it, but it’s fun,” she said.

In total, there were nine other trilogy tournaments across Canada.

“There were people who haven’t played all year and they did really well.”

Safety Tip:Children are often transported by relatives, friends’ parents, and other caregivers in the summer. Parents know the law requires children be secured in car seats or booster seats until they are 4.9” tall or at least nine years old.

Make sure their seat or booster goes with them.

An Escalade worth the waitCadillac recently held the introduction of its all-new Escalade in the heart of Toronto, specifically the heart of Yorkville. This upscale slice of Toronto real estate is home to spendy shops, exclusive restaurants and luxurious ho-tels. This is a place to be seen or be seen in a vehicle that projects the image one wants to portray. Media guests for the Escalade launch stayed at To-ronto’s very first boutique hotel, The Hazelton. As one Torontonian put it, “that’s about the fanciest place in town.” It certainly draws an upscale crowd of rich people, or posers, looking the part. With a steady lineup of Ferrari, McLaren and other exotics parked outside, Cadillac was front and centre showing off its new full-size luxury SUV to a young, well-healed crowd of Toronto socialites and business people.

LooksGetting a full-size truck into a boutique hotel is like trying to park in one of those parking spots labelled “small car”. To get around this, the party part of the launch was held on a garage rooftop, transformed into a nightclub, complete with gourmet finger food, fancy

cocktails and live performers, including the requisite fire-twirling entertainers. There was even an Escalade-inspired golf cart to shuttle guests to the roof. The star of the show was the all-new 2015 Escalade, a vehicle Cadillac hopes will make up about 20 per cent of its overall sales. With a $6,000 price drop and very competitive packages, they hope even wealthy shoppers will stop to see the value in this SUV. It sure got attention, thanks to the fabulous LED projector headlamps and taillights. The angular shape is very contemporary and the sleeker sheet metal looks up to date.InsideThe Escalade has always made an impact when it arrives at any destination; the sheer size and attitude it projects says a lot about the person driving it. It is inside that needed to be refreshed the most, and the attention to detail Cadillac infused in its new truck should pay dividends. Any luxury buyer expects leather, wood, and smart infotainment and Cadillac delivers on all of these. The dash and doors are cov-ered with hand cut leather. The open-grain wood and contrasting interior materials like faux suede all make it look as rich as the buyer expects. Front and centre is Cadillac’s CUE entertainment system that I find easy to operate and interact with. The buttons below it are touch sensitive, there are no knobs or switches. The front passengers just swipe over the surface to change the volume and heat controls. DriveOne reason to buy a big truck-based SUV is to move people in numbers or tow a trailer to a cabin or cottage. That latter experience came with the drive portion of the Escalade launch, driving north of Toron-to to The Briars, a 100-hectare resort on the edge of Lake Simcoe. This family run complex includes a huge stretch of lake frontage, golf course, pools, tennis and activities for all ages and the Escalade fits right in. For moving a large family around in comfort, the

Escalade is wonderful as there is plenty of room to stretch out when the long wheelbase (ESV) model is chosen. Granted about 70 per cent of all buyers choose the shorter wheelbase as it looks less imposing and some might not need the interior vastness. Under the hood is GM’s premium 6.2L V8 with a whopping 420hp and 460 lb.-ft. of torque. This might seem like overkill but this larger engine can switch off to just four cylinders under light load, more often impacting fuel economy. The power goes to just the rear wheels, all four wheels or automatically controlled, all by a switch on the dash. My experi-ence driving for the day returned about

12L/100km in mostly highway driving. Not bad for a big truck.

VerdictThe new Escalade adds about $10,000 worth of new equipment like standard magnetic ride control for a more nimble ride. The cabin is much quieter, for doing big business deals on the phone, and the ride overall is much more refined than before. Starting at $79,900 the Escalade is for the well healed, but Cadillac representatives told me that most buyers shoot for the moon and buy the top Premium model for $90,500. The new Cadillac is fresh and much more refined, with features like never before. Do young wealthy buyers like the Cadillac brand and where it is going? The short answer is yes. GM claims this is the fastest growing luxury brand in Canada and B.C. is a hot spot for the Escalade. It has been seven years since we’ve had an all-new Escalade… the wait was worth it.

Bike LanesHere’s a summer time teaser for those with designated bike lanes separated by a physical barrier – curb stone – in their community.On a regular road if a bike flies by on the right, just as you are making a right turn on a green, it’s a ticketable offence for passing on the right. However, these new separated lanes seem to have given cyclists a false sense of security because they ignore the rule. They just assume drivers will yield the right of way as they zip by.

There’s a sight for a sore eyes on these very hot summer days – a monster ice cream truck.

The almost six-metre high truck was featured in an award winning series of TV ads in Europe for the new Skoda Octavia vRS model. It proved so popular with viewers that the Czech manufacturers toured the UK serving free ice cream to all comers.

Quilt show raises $7,000 for BV HospiceBy Kendra WongSmithers/Interior News

They came in all shapes, patterns and sizes. They were intricately designed, featured vibrant colours, were hand crafted with care and put on display for people to admire.

More than 200 people gathered in Smithers for the first lakeside quilt show and tea garden fundraiser that helped raise more than $7,000 for the Bulkley Valley Hospice Society — one of the largest donations they’ve ever received.

“I think quilts show so well outside because there’s natural light. So you see all the colours and you can get up close,” said Wendy Brassard, one of the organizers of the event.

“The whole

atmosphere of the quilt show was very relaxed. People just enjoyed the gardens, the quilts, the tea.”

There were 102 hand- or machine-sewn quilts on display at a house on Lake Kathlyn on July 19, many of which were on loan from 40 different quilting groups or individuals from around the northwest.

One of the most popular displays of the day was sewn by Smithers quilter Rosamund Pojar.

Organizers agreed the event was a huge success, raising $7,028 in one day and drawing people from Switzerland, Kitimat and Prince Rupert.

“I think the community supports the [Bulkley Valley Hospice Society] and the idea of keeping money within the community,” said

Kathy Davidson, another event organizer. “I think it was a real community feeling. People met and talked to people

that they haven’t seen in a long time.”

According to Brassard, they put together the fundraiser because she

wanted to give back to the community.

“I was feeling guilty about not doing a lot of volunteer work,” she said. “I

thought ‘okay, what do I like to do — I like to quilt and I like to garden’ and how do I turn that into a fundraiser?”

The hospice society was the natural choice for their donation, noted Davidson.

“They do so much for the community and in such a variety of ways that I don’t think anyone really knows what they do,” she said. “They see and help families when they’re in a crisis. At a time that they’re emotionally overloaded as well as physically drained.”

Denise Kalina is a coordinator with the BV Hospice Society and also attended the event.

She said they were floored with the success of the event.

“I was just blown way by the amount of work and organization that went into the

event. They were beautiful gardens,” she said. “It was beautiful, unless you attended it, it’s hard to put things into words.”

Kalina noted about half of the money will go toward a new Roho mattress, which prevents the breakdown of skin, while the remainder of the money will go toward equipment and education.

“I am not aware of any other fundraising event that raised this large of a donation for BV Hospice Society,” Kalina said.

Brassard added that the event would not have been possible without the help of some 50 volunteers and Peggy Armstrong who provided the tea.

And will Brassard and Davidson organize another quilt show fundraiser?

“Yeah,” they replied in unison.

Fishing. Open Sundays !

Happy Fishing!

The Coho are starting to show up in the local rivers and the returns are looking good. Coho Salmon are fun to fi sh for and are one of the more delicious in the salmon species. Most fi shers use lures like Gibbs Koho’s, Vibrax Blue Fox’s or Gibbs Colorado blades. Koho Salmon are usually caught in a slower water than Chinook Salmon or Steelhead. Fish for Coho in slower or just in slack water near the seam between the two. Cast your lure upstream so that when it drifts you can feel the resistance or wobble of the lure but make sure you start reeling in once it hits the slack water or you will get stock on bottom. Wearing a set of fi shing waders allow-ing you to stand in deeper water will reduce the amount of lures you will use.

Good things are growing on Railway Ave.By Marisca BakkerSmithers/Interior News

The community garden on Railway Avenue is full of beautiful blooms, vegetables and fruit trees. While it may seem exclusive, anyone is welcome to take a tour and anyone can rent some space.

Northern Roots Community Gardens runs the space and society chair Scott McMillan plants his vegetables there because his own yard is too shady for most things to grow. He said he got involved when another community group tried to create a demonstration garden across from the hospital on 8th Avenue a couple of years ago. A lot of residents in the neighbourhood were concerned that it would look messy and decrease the value of their homes. This sparked McMillan to become an advocate for community gardens and straighten up the one on Railway. He said there are lot of benefits for the town to have gardens like the

Northern Roots. “A lot of food is grown here,” he said.

“Some non-profit groups also have plots in here, so it is a win-win for everyone.”

Grendel Group is one organization that has several plots plus a greenhouse.

The values-based organization provides programs and educational support and ongoing work experience for people with cognitive and physical disabilities.

“In addition to gardening and being outside, which has a lot of positive benefits,

the program because we act like a business, we provide the participants with an experience more work-like so it does have that sort of satisfaction of doing something meaningful,” said Dmitri Cody, coordinator for the Grendel Grow program.

The vegetables produced by the group go to Groundbreakers Collective and some also get sold with the proceeds going back into the group. The root vegetables are kept for Grendel’s catering service.

The land the Railway garden sits on is owned by the town and leased for a small price to the society. The plots rent out for $50 and that covers the water bill and insurance. There are also a few raised beds for seniors so they don’t have to bend too far down to garden. Those rent out for $10 a year. There is currently only one senior taking advantage of that deal. McMillian is hoping to rent out all of the raised beds next year. Anyone interested in renting out some space next season can contact McMillan at 250-847-2832.

Something to think about: Delmar Lamb, father to one of my neighbours, resumed playing golf three times a week.

What is awesome is that

Delmar is 95, the oldest golfer in Prince George.

He is a little hard of hearing, takes no medication and has had no major ailments.

Enjoys gardening, walks as much as he can and said he has no cut and dried answer to the secret of a long life. Maybe golf is the magic youth pill?

Closing with: The thing always happens that you really believe in; and the belief in a thing makes it happen. Frank Lloyd Wright.

Gitxsan eviction suspended

Hazelton celebrated its history with Pioneer Days on Saturday. For more photos see B7.

Marisca Bakker photo

By Marisca BakkerHazelton/Interior News

The Gitxsan Hereditary Chiefs of Gitsegukla and Gitwangak have suspended their eviction notice until Aug. 25.

In a press release issued Aug. 8, the chiefs said they are holding off on the eviction pending critical discussions between the Crown and Kitselas and Kitsumkalum First Nations.

“The chiefs are open to the discussions and the process so we are hoping for a good resolution,” said Gitxsan Treaty Society negotiator Beverley Clifton Percival. “They see a little bit of hope and a little bit of progress right now.”

Clifton Percival said the chiefs feel they needed to give the governments a reasonable amount of time but they also wanted it to be immediate.

The GTS wants the provincial and federal governments to

withdraw offers of Gitxsan lands to the neighbouring Kitselas and Kitsumkalum Indian Bands. The Gitxsan said they have been making efforts for two years to work with both levels of government to solve the matter.

The suspension comes less than a month after the Gitxsan nation ordered all those involved in sport fisheries, the forest industry and CN Rail to leave their territory by Aug. 4.

The original eviction notice said that businesses and government operations will not be allowed back on the 33,000 square km territory until both Crowns have obtained the required consent of the Gitxsan Hereditary Chiefs.

The Gitxsan Chiefs believe the Crowns have carried on fraudulent consultation process in regards to BC Timber Sales and have not implemented any consultations before allowing sportfishing and transportation of goods by CN Rail.

Gitxsan to keep pressure on governments

However, the eviction didn’t stop CN Rail when it was active. The rail company said it was business as usual throughout northern B.C. shortly after the Gitxsan Hereditary Chiefs and members of the Gitxsan nation said they will shut down the railway running through their territories.

CN director of communications and public affairs, Mark Hallman, said operations remained fluid and normal and there were no interruptions.

CN applied for and received, from the Supreme Court of British Columbia, an injunction barring anyone from trespassing on CN’s rail line between Smithers and Terrace, B.C., or physically obstructing CN’s train operations in this corridor.

Hallman said CN obtained the injunction last week to ensure continued rail service

for the benefit of its customers in this important rail corridor. He added they expect the injunction to be respected.

“The British Columbia and Canadian

governments are working to address issues raised by Gitxsan chiefs, and CN hopes the process will resolve the situation. Only the governments are in a position to address the outstanding issues,” Hallman said.

“Our government encourages resolution of issues through dialogue wherever possible and believe negotiation is the best way to resolve issues that concern

asserted aboriginal rights and title. We have met with Gitxsan leaders and hope to continue to meet as we work to address their concerns.” Attorney General and

Minister of Justice Suzanne Anton said in an email. “We recognize the public’s right to engage in peaceful protests and lawful assembly. Most Canadian protestors, whether aboriginal or non-aboriginal, are peaceful and law abiding. We ask everyone to remain respectful of one another on the ground while we seek a resolution to the issues raised by the Gitxsan.”

Skeena-Bulkley Valley NDP MP Nathan Cullen thinks this conflict will resolve itself, he just doesn’t want anyone in the northwest to become unintended victims of this strong action taken by the Gitxsan.

“I’ve been dealing with the Gitxsan themselves, their leadership as well as the federal and provincial governments and many people who have been calling and coming into our offices very concerned,” he said. “This is a very serious tactic and while I understand very much the frustration of the Gitxsan dealing with the Christy Clark and Stephen Harper governments, we are speaking peace on the land and calling on those governments to get to the table and negotiate so that there isn’t this uncertainty and potential conflict.”

The Gitxsan Hereditary Chiefs said they will still maintain their camps along highways, railways and rivers.

The Bulkley Valley Exhibition August 21-24, 2014

Only one week until Fair Time! Are you ready for the 95th Bulkley Valley Exhibition August 21-24? Well, we are and the Claude Dohler Stage is ready to rock with these boys! On Saturday August 23rd at 8:30pm, right in Smithers BC, the Chris Buck Band will be bringing all the fun to the Bulkley Valley! Your gate admission is your ticket to the show!

Chris Buck is well-known for his Reggae/Country style and energetic stage presence. Chris’s band is made up of a group of guys in their 20’s: Phil Puxley, Jordan Pritchett, Seamus O’Neill and Michael Vanderlans.The boys have played every major country festival/venue in British Columbia and many other parts of Canada within the last 2 years. After playing at Merritt Mountain Music Fest (where he was called “one of the highlights of the festival,” by Gabby’s Country Cabaret), Chris Buck has quickly become one of the busiest country performers on the west coast, playing close to 150 shows this past year. Chris was also nominated for the Ray MCauley Horizon Award at the BCCMA’s for New Artist in 2012 and won the 2013 CCMA Jiffy Lube Fanfest contest to represent British Columbia at the CCMA awards.

Even with his busy performing schedule Chris has always made time to focus on his original music. His first song he recorded, “Okay,” had great success and was played on over 38 stations across Canada in its first 2 weeks.Chris just finished his CD with

award winning producer Tom McKillip (Aaron Pritchett, One More girl) and is excited to release his new single/album/video in 2014.

Don’t miss lots of local entertainment leading up to the Chris Buck Band starting at 10am Saturday morning. Jenny Lester, Meghan Brady, Guitar Camp, and Ranger Smash will entertain you right up to 2 pm. The stage pauses while the 4-H Auction takes place in the livestock ring. At 4 pm Music with Marnie is back to perform their 2nd of 3rd performance over the weekend. Kids don’t miss the opportunity to dance and sing along with “Bucky” the mascot and Marnie’s cute and loveable friends. Wes Barker is back for his last performance to amaze you and make you laugh with his comedy-magic show. Playback from “Terrace” warms up the stage for Smithers own Mark Perry, and the Bad Reputation from “Terrace” leads up to the Chris Buck Band. Saturday on the grounds is a very busy day!

Raymond Ashford LongDecember 10, 1931-June 17, 2014

Ray was born in Burns Lake on December 10, 1931 to John Alvan and Katherine (Porter) Long. He was the youngest of 11 children. He grew up on the family ranch in Palling. His family life involved farming, logging and saw milling. Ray was his sister Jean’s, pride and joy! They grew up knowing how to work hard-milking cows, fencing and riding. Ray was an excellent horse man as horses were always an important part of his life.Ray married Eirien Kathleen Kempple on April 2, 1960 in Burns Lake. They made their home in Decker Lake where Ray had his own truck and hauled logs for Star Planer. Ray was in a serious accident with his truck and a train in August 1960. Kathy was born the night before the accident. Ray spent many months in the hospital in Vancouver recovering. After his recovery he returned to work. Pam was born in 1963. Ray and Eirien moved to Houston in 1966 where Ray hauled logs to Buck River Lumber and worked with Ernie Lund there. In 1968 Brent was born and completed their family. After several moves within Houston, the “Long” family reached their final destination in 1977-the current “Long’s Farm” on the Buck Flats Road.Ray became a well known logging contractor under the name “Long Trucking Ltd.” He started his own cattle herd and always had horses around. He enjoyed rodeos, roping and hunting trips on horseback. You could often see Ray at the local rodeo at Henry Murphy’s place as a pick up man. He also took an interest in the local pony club where he would participate in the ‘Smoke Race.’ He rode horses up until the last couple of years, checking cattle and fence lines as well as participating in numerous Poker Rides with Tori and Bill Vernon.Ray was always the first one to lend a hand to friends and neighbours. He had a keen sense of humour and always had time to visit. There was no such thing as a quick trip with Ray! He was an avid story teller!!When Brent was old enough to drive the logging truck, Ray took a step back and focused on his farm and cow herd.Ray loved to dance, tour around the country, visit and trade stories.The joy of his life was his grandkids, Brittany, Brooke, Shea and Tori. He was always very patient with them and taught them to drive, hay, farm, ride horses and play cards. He bought an old Crowne Victoria car at an auction in Grassy Plains for the grandkids to learn how to drive.In his later years, as his health failed, Ray wasn’t able to be as active, however, his wit always brought a smile to everyone’s face! He enjoyed the odd trip out for a strawberry milkshake and a tour of town with his little black dog at his side.Ray was a man of many words and had a heart of gold! Heaven has gained one heck of a cowboy!Survived by his wife, Eirien, daughter, Kathy (Randy), Pam (Devin), Brittany & Brooke and son Brent (Lia) Shea & Tori.A celebration of life was held on June 21 at the “Long Farm”.

The Long family would like to thank the Houston Ambulance crew, the staff at the BV District Hospital and the staff at the Houston Residential Care facility for their

wonderful care and compassion. Also, thank you to all the thoughtful, caring people that sent cards, food & flowers.

The support was truly overwhelming!

WE ARE NOW HIRING!

VAN BAARSEN, Johannes (John) CornelisJan 22, 1928 – Aug 2, 2014

After bravely trying to cope with the loss of his wife, Ali, it is with great love we announce the peaceful passing of John at the age of 86. Born in the Netherlands, John was one of 11 brothers and sisters. John married Ali in 1957 and in 1964, John, Ali 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.

John had a great strength of conviction and resilience; was a captivating story teller and had a clever sense of humour. He was a loving husband, father and Opa who will be greatly missed. John is survived by his children, Peter, Albert and Mari and his grandchildren, Amanda, Adam, Andrew, Katie, Sarah, and Mackenzie & Lachlan (in New Zealand) A Celebration of John’s life will be held on Friday Aug 15th at 2pm at Valley View Funeral Home Chapel, 14660 – 72nd Ave, Surrey. Donations will be gratefully acknowledged in support of your local hospice or The Irene Thomas Hospice in Ladner.

Ralph Douglas Ayers Ralph Ayers, known to friends as “Breezy,” passed away

June 27, 2014 after a long battle with dementia. He was 87 years old.

Ralph was born in Gilbert Plains, Manitoba to William and Ruth Ayers on Jan. 20, 1927. After Ralph graduated, he moved out west to Burnaby, B.C., where he met his wife Dorothy. He started a career with BC Tel that lasted 36 years. Ralph and Dorothy started a family and moved to Smithers in 1966, staying until he retired in 1983. He and Dorothy then moved to Saltspring Island and were there from 1984-2003, finally settling in Chilliwack.

Ralph’s passion was his organic gardening and his secret was hard work and patience. His memory for detail and love of entertaining made him a tremendous story teller.

‘Journey’ on Riverboat GalleryBy Marisca BakkerHazelton/Interior News

A local artist is showcasing her art at the Riverboat Gallery this month.

Virginia Morgan’s exhibit is made up of mainly carved Northwest Coast-style masks but also includes a bent box and some spoons.

“I am inspired by the stories, morals and wisdom that has been passed down by my ancestors. I was fortunate to learn from parents and grandparents that were immersed in their culture,” she said. “I continue to be inspired by artists like Vernon Stephens, Ken Mowatt, Earl Mowatt and Arlene Ness. Although they create Northwest Coast-style art, they all have their own very stylistic art.”

She attended Kitanmaax School of Northwest Coast Art in 1989 under the direction of Vernon Stephens and Ken Mowatt. It was there that she learned to draw basic design, carve and make her own carving tools.

Her exhibit is called “Journey” because she said it is about the journey through time and space, a way to transmit ideas, stories, and morals through carved expression.

“My favourite piece in the show is the moon mask. She is very feminine, but is very powerful. She holds the power to pull the tides. The design on the mask is the eulachon run.”

“I would like people to know the power of expression from the ideas behind the masks, and want them to be drawn into the expression itself.”

The gallery is open seven days a week from 11 a.m. - 5 p.m.
