Vivian Tom makes a public plea in Fort Fraser, B.C. on April 17, 2013, for information that will help with the investigation into the death of her daughter, Destiny Tom. Destiny was found dead outside of a residence on the Nautley Indian Reserve near Fraser Lake on March 23, 2013. Her death has now been officially attributed to foul play. Photo by Walter Strong

A Mother’s pleaWalter Strong

Black Press

Wednesday April 17, the RCMP announced that the death of Destiny Rae Tom, 21, was the result of foul play.

On March 23, 2013, police re-sponded to a call at around 5:30 a.m. and discovered Destiny’s body out-side of a home on the Nautley Indian Reserve on the east end of Fraser Lake.

Many of Destiny’s extended fam-ily - members of the Wet’suwet’en First Nation near Burns Lake - gath-ered at Village of Fort Fraser council chambers in support of Vivian Tom, Destiny’s mother. She delivered a public plea for help with the investi-gation. She implored anyone with in-formation about her daughter’s death to come forward and cooperate with the RCMP.

“Our daughter’s badly beaten body was discovered on the Nautley Indian Reserve just outside of Fort Fraser,” said Tom. “Whoever is responsible for Destiny’s death is still out there.”

“We believe that someone out there knows something and is yet to come forward with information sur-rounding Destiny’s death.”

The RCMP expressed the same concern. Despite an arrest made shortly after the discovery of Des-tiny’s body, no charges have been laid either against that individual or any-one else.

“We’re still missing the piece of the puzzle that we need to bring clo-sure to this family and this commu-nity,” said RCMP Cst. Lesley Smith.

On the evening of Destiny’s death, there was a gathering or party at the residence where Destiny’s body was found. Although some present at the gathering have come forward to pro-

vide information, not all have.“It is those people that she was last

with that we want to speak to,” said Smith.

An autopsy was conducted earlier this month and the report confirmed that Destiny Tom died as result of foul play. Police are unable to provide further specifics with respect to the findings as this would jeopardize the integrity of the investigation. Investi-gators continue to follow up on infor-mation and speak with individuals.

“This investigation remains a prior-ity for the RCMP and we encourage those who knew Destiny and were last with her on the Nautley Reserve, to come forward and speak with in-vestigators” stated Cst. Lesley Smith, North District Media Relations Officer

“RCMP investigators are work-ing closely with Destiny’s family and friends and they continue to work diligently in order to find the answers we all need to bring the individual(s) responsible for her death, to justice”.

Anyone with information is asked to call the Fraser Lake RCMP at (250) 699-7777. If you would like to remain anonymous please Call CRIMESTOPPERS at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS).

“Whoever is responsible

for Destiny’s death is still out there.”

The Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, the country’s largest bank, has agreed to take part in financing a large-scale oil refinery proposed for Kitimat.

Kitimat Clean Ltd., a company owned by Black Press chairman David Black, announced the sign-ing of a memorandum of understanding Thursday. The agreement commits the bank to “be the Chi-nese financial advisor to Kitimat Clean and cooper-ate in the financing of the proposed Kitimat refinery and associated pipelines and other elements,” Black said in a statement.

“Chinese companies will be involved in the en-gineering and construction of the refinery,” Black said. “Up to 100 per cent of the output from the refinery is planned to be sold to Asian markets, in-cluding China and India.”

He added that majority control of the businesses will remain in Canada.

Liu Yanping, deputy head of corporate banking, and Huang Jifa, deputy head of investment bank-ing at the Chinese bank, said in the statement: “We are very pleased to be working toward a compre-hensive agreement to finance a refinery in Canada, which is planning to export refined fuels to China and other Asian countries in the future.”

Black released a Mustel Group poll in February that found three out of four B.C. residents support the idea to refine crude oil in Kitimat rather than export the raw product, diluted bitumen  from the Alberta oil sands, by tanker.

Chinese bank backs Kitimat refinery

The same poll found that 57 per cent respon-dents opposed the Enbridge Northern Gateway pipeline project.

Black has suggested his project may grow to include an alternative pipeline proposal, or oil shipped by the CN Rail line that already connects the Edmonton area with the North Coast.

The first Queen Basketball Tournament for cancer saw five teams vie for the championship on April 19 and 20.

Prince George #1 was the class of the field and won the tournament.

Every member of each team received a momento. Thanks to the generosity of the many local sponsors, tournament director Vicki Siemens, reports over $1,800 was raised for IDIDALAP4CANCER.

Other money raised was for the Marion Rice Memorial scholarship, thank you to fellow teammate Pam Campbell Morrison’s donation of an art piece, approximately $800 was raised.

Ironically a former 1978 Viqueen Peble Sutton Fehr won the picture. A nice touch of the tournament was a spaghetti feed sponsored by the Vanderhoof Co-op.

Player of the game award was

also given. A big thanks to tournament director Vicki Siemens, all of the volunteers, referees, players and sponsors who made the tournament a success.

  On Thursday April 11th, 2013, a General Duty officer on patrol checked a suspicious male walking on Redwood Street in the City.  The check found the man to be Sameer MADHOK, 40 years old.  MADHOK had an outstanding arrest warrant for weapons possession and the theft of a motor vehicle dating back to February 2013.  He was arrested without incident.

MADHOK was held in custody until court the following day, where he was released on conditions including a curfew.

 On the evening of Monday April 15th, 2013, a General Duty officer conducted a curfew check on Sameer MADHOK at his residence on Spruce Street in the City.  MADHOK did not present himself to the door as required by his curfew conditions.

  At approximately 3:30 am on Tuesday April 16th, 2013, another General Duty officer observed a man walking on Oak Street.  A check of the man found him to be Sameer MADHOK.  The officer arrested MADHOK without incident for breaching his conditions.  He has been held in custody at least until Court today.

 Mark Anthony STEWART, a 30 year old man previously from Vanderhoof, BC and Regina, Saskatchewan, is still wanted by police for offences he is alleged to have committed with MADHOK in February.

 The Prince George RCMP believes STEWART likely has access to firearms and is a threat to the public.  STEWART has a lengthy Criminal history and should be considered Armed & Dangerous.  Do NOT approach him, call Police immediately.

The ins and outs of the IIORuth Lloyd

Caledonia Courier

Ralph Krenz of the Independent Investiga-tions Office (IIO) of BC visited Fort St. James last week to educate people on the organiza-tion.

The IIO was estab-lished to provide a civil-ian group to investigate when the RCMP or municipal police (on or off-duty) are involved in incidents where a civilian was seriously harmed or killed.

While Ontario has had an independent investigator for these kinds of cases for much longer, B.C. only re-cently came out with their own, after inci-dents such as the 1998 death of Frank Paul and the 2007 death of Rob-ert Dziekanski in the Vancouver International Airport.

The Braidwood Commission report laid out how the IIO would work, and in September of 2012, the IIO office opened their doors.

While the head of-fice is in Surrey while the organization gets es-

ablished, Krenz said there are plans to eventually have sat-ellite offices across the province.

Krenz laid out the jurisdiction of the organization, and how the defi-nition of "serious harm," which comes from the insurance definition, does lim-it their oversight on certain matters.

For example, an alleged sexual as-sault by a police of-ficer would not fall under their jurisdiction because the definition of serious harm they use only includes inju-ries which may result in death, cause serious disfigurement or may cause substantial loss or impairment of mobility of the body as a whole or of the function of any limb or organ.

Krenz said "morally and ethically" sexual assault likely should be looked at by an outside investigator, however at this time those investi-gations are still done by the police force them-selves.

There will be a leg-islative review in 2015

which could potentially address some of the problems with the defi-nition of serious harm being used.

Krenz also explained some of the require-ments of working for the IIO, which will make the organization more and more inde-pendent from police in-fluence as time goes on.

While at this point there are around two-thirds of IIO investiga-tors have experience as former police inves-tigators, over time he said this will decrease as the organization can train people from within their organization. The

investigators can not have been a police of-ficer in B.C. during the five years before taking the position, so already there is some separation from their previous af-filiation with a police force.

The goals of the IIO are to complete fair, thorough investigations of incidents, to improve the timeliness of the investigations and to provide transparency and accountability in each case. Krenz also discussed some of the obligations of the police officers at an incident when it does occur and how initially, preser-

Ralph Krenz of the Independent Investigations of-fice of BC spoke in Fort St. James on April 18.

Ruth Lloyd/Caledonia Courier

vation of the scene and evidence does fall to the local po-lice force, but is then handed over to IIO investigators or over-seen by experienced IIO forensic experts.

The IIO was called to investigate an incident in Van-derhoof on March 10, when a truck was stunt driving but an officer did not pursue the vehicle when it left the scene.

The officer later discovered the ve-

hicle crashed into a post near Burrard Street and Highway 16. The offi-cer reportedly spoke to the driver, who later fled the scene.

Three passengers were also in the vehicle, two of which were se-riously injured in the crash.

The investigation into the incident is on-going.

School District 91 NewsOn Monday, April 15, 2013, the Board of Edu-

cation of School District No. 91 (Nechako Lakes) held its Board Meeting at the School Board Office, in Vanderhoof.

A presentation was made from Ms. Kari Rae, on behalf of the Prairiedale PAC, to the Board regard-ing the Vanderhoof Schools Reconfiguration pro-cess. The PAC gave each Board Member a booklet that was put together with input from students and members of the community. This booklet, along with Ms. Rae’s presentation notes, will be placed on the School District 91 Webpage. The Board appreciates hearing from parents and community members and will continue to provide answers to the questions raised.

A student presentation was made by Rylan Tsuji, an award winning grade 10 student at Fraser Lake Elementary Secondary, who was invited to present his research on Residential Schools in Can-ada. Rylan worked closely with his grandfather and other community members as he sought to gain a better understanding of this period of Canadian his-tory. Board members were very impressed by the presentation and thanked Rylan for his outstanding work and congratulated him for winning recogni-tion at the Heritage Fair.

Mrs. Lynda Maertz, Trustee, was happy to in-form the Board that the Scholarship Committee has 78 district scholarships to award this year. Each scholarship is worth $1000.

Two rising wrestlers from Nechako Valley Secondary School, Jonah Reinke and Jennor Nohr, attended the Canadian National Championships in Saskatoon, Sask., on April 4.

At the competition, Reinke, a grade 12 student, and Nohr, a grade 10 student, represented the Vanderhoof Vikes, a co-ed wrestling team consisting of some 40 elementary and high school students that attended numerous tournaments

and championships in Kamloops, Edmonton and Duncan in 2012 and 2013.

Although the Vikes didn’t place as high compared to other teams in the provincials, some of which had 10 wrestlers, Nohr said the experience was more important than finishing in a top spot.

This mentality, he said, relieved some of the pressure of competing in the biggest wrestling competition he has ever attended.

“I didn’t feel intimidated by anyone, but I felt as though I should definitely try my hardest,” he

High hopes for NVSS wrestlers

said.Nohr finished the regular 2012 and 2013

season with a near impeccable record of 24 wins and five losses and plans on attending nationals in 2014.

“I’m glad I was able to go, gain the experience and realize I was wrestling some of the best in the country,” he said.

“That will set me up for next year.”Since Nohr started wrestling in 2008, his

wrestling has improved considerably to the point where he is seriously considering pursuing a college or university scholarship, or even competing in the Olympics, should the sport remain an official event.

But for the time being, Nohr is concentrating on graduating from high school.

Nohr thanks his father, a former wrestling coach, his mom and his grandparents for sending him to the national championships.

He also thanks his grandfather, Ron Nohr, for traveling to tournaments in Edmonton and Smithers all the way from Prince George.

“It meant a lot to me,” said Jennor Nohr.

Dear Editor,

On April 24th, explorers and miners from all over BC will meet in Terrace for the annual Minerals North Conference. It’s an opportunity to get the word out that prospectors exploring the BC frontier can once again dream and believe that an idea combined with a little risk, some hard work, and maybe a dash of luck could pay off. It’s this reality that has brought inves-tors, geologists, risk-takers and entrepreneurs back to British Columbia in recent years.

Prospecting and exploration in BC result in eco-nomic activity that supports small business, first na-tions, you, me, and our families, by creating safe jobs and helping drive BC’s economy forward. That’s why we cannot afford to send a message to risk-takers that would have them look for more fertile ground else-

where. Unfortunately, there are those in this province who

want to load up one side of the scales so that we lose the balance that has been moving exploration and our economy forward. We need to ensure that BC is a place where people can still dare to dream and believe that their exploration efforts can be fruitful.

Yes, we have to explore and open mines with care, but the safeguards, proper permitting and environmen-tal checks and balances are all in place. So, let’s con-tinue to focus on our future and maintain the balance that has encouraged investors, entrepreneurs, planners and geologists alike to stay in BC and help grow our province for future generations.

Paying for PamelaBill Phillips

Prince George Free PressPamela Martin called me the other day.Well, it wasn’t actually Pamela Martin, it was a recording of Pamela

Martin’s voice.At first I was worried there had been a security breach in the public

records office in Victoria because the last time Martin was up in this neck of the woods she was helping out with the creation of a seniors’ advocate in B.C., so what would the seniors’ advocate want with youthful ol’ me?

But my fears were soon allayed. Pamela (I can call her Pamela because she calls me at home on the weekends now) was calling to let me know that Liberal leader Christy Clark was delivering a 30-minute campaign ad on television Sunday night and that I should watch.

Whew, my secret was safely tucked away with that ever-greying por-trait hanging in the attic (OK, even that isn’t doing a good job, but you get the picture … pun intended).

Pamela intoned to me how important the message was and that the upcoming election was very important. It took about 10 nanoseconds for my age-addled brain cells to click into gear.

“Aren’t you a civil servant?” I asked, hopefully with my inside voice but quite likely not judging by the startled dog that suddenly needed to go outside.

“Aren’t you paid with taxpayers’ dollars? Why am I, a taxpayer, paying for you to campaign for the Liberals?” Yet, there she was … a civil servant being the voice of a blatantly political call.

And, had I watched the half-hour commercial (due to my advancing age and Big Bang Theory rerun, I forgot to watch), I would have noticed that Pamela actually hosted the commercial.

For the record, you pay Pamela about $130,000 per year. As my col-league at Kamloops This Week Chris Foulds quipped, “Tony Parsons only wishes he could be so vital to democracy.”

But this isn’t the only time that Pamela has been out on the campaign trail while pulling down a nice cheque courtesy of you and I.

Blogger Alex G. Tsakumis, who has dug up more dirt on the Wood Innovation and Resource Centre than the excavators working down there now, raised the issue about a year ago when Pamela was out campaigning with Liberal candidate Laurie Throness.

Tsakaumis called the premier’s office about it and was told that Martin was “on vacation” on the day she was seen out conducting plainly partisan duties. So, it’s a year later the Liberals get caught up in the ethnic vote scandal.

A cabinet minister and senior official in the premier’s office fall on their swords when it breaks that, among other things, there was a plan to use civil servants for partisan Liberal purposes.

One would think that with all those savvy political operatives operating in the premier’s office someone would have figured out that government employees work for the people of B.C., not the Liberal party.

They just don’t get it.

Last week we started to talk about the work of Dr, Masaru Emoto. We learned about how Positive words can help, build up and help someone flourish. We also learned how negative words have an equally if not more powerful effect on the destruction of a living thing.One of the things you can do to start to change negative thoughts or feelings is to surround yourself with good and positive things. “Humans possess deep emotions; and it’s natural to feel irritated, disturbed, sad, or lonely. There is no need to feel bad about the fact the you can’t feel love and gratitude all the time. So when you’re feeling despair or darkness in your heart, though, all you have to do is borrow some of the power of words. Words have power and energy, write the phrase “Love & Gratitude” on several pieces of paper, then put them in prominent places.” You can put positive words anywhere around you, in your home or workplace, notebooks or locker.One of the hardest lessons in life to learn, is that you do not require anyone to validate your life, you need to understand that happiness comes from within in order for it to be a part of your life, it doesn’t need to rely on anyone. But you must also know that your thought, actions and words can help others too and also yourself! Nurturing relationships gives them a strong foundation, and enriches the relationships you already have.This is the difference between being angry at someone for doing something, or feeling saddened for that person to have felt that was the way to do things. It means making an extra effort with the children of today to make sure they have a better chance at not becoming those people who feel the need to do bad things to feel heard, accepted or for the attention they seek.Changing the way you think about things now, can change our world...one person at a time.

NEWSExpressVanderhoof community comes to help after

Maxine’s Greenhouse burns downSubmitted

On April 10, 2013 at approximately 8:30 am a fire started in the main work greenhouse at Maxine’s Greenhouse on East Stewart Street in Vanderhoof. Thanks to the quick response time by the Vanderhoof Fire Department, the blaze was contained to one greenhouse.

Unfortunately for Eileen Bjornson, the owner, it was the greenhouse with all of her supplies, dirt and most of her young seedlings. Eileen was now faced with the decision to either go ahead with this greenhouse season or to give up in the face of this crisis. She decided to start over.

Eileen called supply companies and before the end of the day of the fire she made the decision to replant and to open May 4, 2013 as she had previously planned.

The job she faced was huge and Eileen didn’t know if she could do it with her small crew.

After the fire, turning to the Maxine’s Greenhouse facebook page, many women from our area offered their help. After some thought Eileen decided to take the people of our community up on their gen-erous offers.

Supplies and seedlings take time to ar-rive, but arrive they did. On Wednesday, April 17 a work crew was assembled.

Eileen, her mother Maxine and her crew were amazed by the response to her plea for help. Many people showed up in-cluding the owners and crew from Atkins Greenhouse at Cluculz Lake, and students from Nechako Valley Secondary School.

People dedicated their day or a few hours to help Eileen and Maxine fill pots and plant to get ready for the busy season ahead.

Eileen’s facebook page read - Wow! Wow! Wow! What incredible people we have in Vanderhoof and Cluculz Lake. We are so amazed at the turnout and the amount of plants we got planted.

We would like to thank each and every one of you for your help. This gift of your time has touched our hearts in ways we

For inspiration and advice, we present three young B.C. eco-heroes whose community-based environmental actions have (or will potentially have) a global impact.

Vancouver’s Claudia Li was inspired to start sav-ing sharks after watching biologist and activist Rob Stewart’s documentary Sharkwater.

“That night I couldn’t sleep,” Li says. “The documentary talks how important sharks are for our ocean ecosystem…and how some species are being pushed to the brink of extinction because they’re being overfished to make shark fin soup.”

Shark fin soup symbol-izes face and respect at dinner banquets, mainly weddings, and is consumed in mainly middle- to higher-class Cantonese style dinners.

Li had tasted shark fin soup mere weeks before at her cousin’s banquet and was deeply troubled when she realized that she, her family, and her commu-nity were unwittingly par-ticipating in this ecological disaster because they didn’t know any better.

In response to this, Li began what would become Shark Truth, a grassroots not-for-profit aimed at pro-moting shark conservation by implementing a cultural perspective shift.

“Start with what and who you know,” says Li. “The place where we can make the most powerful im-pact is within a community we understand.”

Shark Truth has raised public awareness and saved the lives of 2800 sharks.

Kimberly Gulevich of Fort St. John is an active volunteer at Student En-ergy, a non-profit organiza-tion that is working towards a future of sustainable energy. She came into the public eye as a high school student whose science project on methane capture entitled “Got Gas?” was awarded the 2010 Weston Youth Innovation Award. “There are many ways to help the environment,” Gulevich says. “By starting with small actions yourself, and moving to educating others, a great impact can be had.”… Community groups are a great spot to start – environmental and science and technology groups are good resources.” Gulevich also stresses the importance of networking and connecting with people you know who may be able to help further your initia-tives. project or cause.

“My project opened my mind to the possibility of environmental engineering as a career path,” says Gu-levich. “It also showed me how willing a community is to surround you in a project, and how encouraging youth, and females, in science is important. And it proved that it does not require a lot of technology or capital to implement small scale environmental options.”says Gulevich, who has attended four Canada-wide science fairs, the 2008 Taiwan International Science Fair and the Intel International Science Fair (2010) and who has been on the receiving

end of $50,000 in academic scholarships. Who says being green doesn’t pay?

 Vancouver’s Veronika Bylicki says that the list of things you can do to help the environment in your community is endless.

“There are so many different levels to work on,” says the 18-year-old. “Whether you want to work hands-on towards local conservation efforts at a bog or you want to make a ban on bottled water at your school…or, if there is

a proposed pipeline in your region, you can mobilize a group of people to rally against it. The possibilities are endless.”

Bylicki is the creator of Plan-It Earth, an environmental conference that mobilized over

200 youth to become aware of and engage in issues of urban sustainability.

“Never ever feel like you are too small, in-significant or incapable of making a difference,” she says.

Feeding wildlife may seem like an enjoyable way to connect with nature, but it can often lead to serious prob-lems for species like squirrels, rac-coons, deer and bears.

Wild animals who get used to a hand-out will often take the easy route despite ample natural foods be-ing available – even in urban areas. Although it might seem harmless and cute to feed a squirrel on a park bench or ducks at the local pond, these activ-ities can lead to increased habituation. Fed wildlife can become dependent on unreliable food sources and suffer nutritionally when given inappropri-ate foods. Habituated wild animals are also more susceptible to predators and vehicle collisions, as they lose their fear of people and the associated flight response. In other cases, wild animals who have been fed regularly can develop food-seeking aggression and can become hostile towards peo-ple and pets.

Human carelessness can also lead to urban wildlife becoming habitu-ated. Putting garbage out the evening before pick-up, using non-wildlife-proof bins, keeping pet food outside, leaving fallen fruit on the ground and littering can lead to situations where wild animals – and their offspring – are killed unneces-sarily.

One area where the experts disagree is on the feeding of migratory birds. Whether you agree or disagree with feed-ing birds, it is the most widespread and popular form of human-wildlife interac-tion worldwide.

Although the BC SPCA prefers you

to attract birds naturally with native plants, if you are going to feed mi-gratory birds, please:

•Ensure feeders are not acces-sible to other species, use baffles and “proof” feeders;

•Keep cats indoors and ask your neighbours to do so as well;

•Clean feeders regularly with a 10% bleach dilution to prevent dis-ease outbreaks;

•Feed only seasonally when natu-ral resources are limited;

•Consult your local bird feed or nature store to determine the right feed for the season and the species;

•Place feeders in protected areas, out of the rain, snow and wind;

•Place feeders as far away from windows as possible. If it must be near a window, place it less than one metre away and use UV window de-cals to prevent injury;

•Don’t ground feed, and clean spilled seeds frequently to avoid at-tracting rodents;

•Do not use herbicides, fungicides or pesticides in your yard;

•If maintaining a hummingbird feeder in winter, ensure that it does not freeze, as it is likely the only food source for the birds who are using it; and

•Never feed gulls, herons or eagles.For more information, visit spca.bc.ca.

Feeding wildlife can do more harm than good
