Province recommends

rejecting Enbridge

By Sam ReddingOmineca Express

As of Friday, May 26 B.C. has recommended re-jecting the Enbridge Northern Gateway pipeline in its submission to the federal environmental panel.

“British Columbia thoroughly reviewed all of the evidence and submissions made to the panel and asked substantive questions about the project including its route, spill response capacity and financial structure to handle any incidents,” said Environment Minister Terry Lake in a press release. “Our questions were not satisfactorily answered during these hearings.”

“Northern Gateway has said that they would provide effective spill response in all cases. However, they have presented little evidence as to how they will respond,” Lake said on Friday. “For that reason, our government cannot support the issuance of a certificate for the pipeline as it was presented to the Joint Review Panel.”

MLA John Rustad agrees with Lake. “Enbridge and what its put forward in its current form has not met the five conditions yet and my hope is that [they] have an opportunity to do some work to meet these conditions.”

NDP Leader Adrian Dix said that, although wel-come news, the Liberal decision is “a case of too little, too late.”

In a press release on Friday, May 31, Dix said “The B.C. Liberals signed away decision-mak-ing authority to Ottawa in 2010 and that has not changed. We know Ottawa continues to support the project, so saying ‘no’ today is a toothless gesture and the Liberals know it.”

This doesn’t affect other pipeline projects such as the Kinder Morgan Trans Mountain pipeline

expansion or the Kitimat Clean project, those will be judged on their own merits and on the province’s five key conditions.

Those conditions include oil spill prevention and response on both land and water, completion of the environmental review process, addressing Aboriginal rights and treaties, and that B.C. receive a fair share of the profits.

Nathan Cullen, MP for Skeena--Bulkley Valley, sub-mitted his final arguments to the Joint Review Panel on Friday as well.

“If this project proceeds,” said Cullen in a media release. “It’s an indication that this abusive process by the government and these reckless proposals by En-bridge can become the new norm. It tells us that this can and will happen anywhere in Canada – no matter the impact on the environment or the communities, or what kind of reputation the company has.”

British Columbia will be presenting oral final ar-guments to the Joint Review Panel when hearings re-commence in Terrace on June 17, based on B.C.’s final written submission. Omineca Express photo

BC Gun Amnesty Month

Intern coming to local government

Running from June 1 to 30, B.C. RCMP are encouraging the public to call their local police to pick up unwanted � rearms, weapons and ammunition.

The Gun Amnesty program is for anyone with unlicensed or un-

used � rearms to bring them in guilt-free and get rid of them.

Do not drop off any items at police depart-ments.

“It just gives people a chance, its probably been weighing on their mind for a long time,”

said Sgt. Jason Keays Vanderhoof RCMP. “We’re not out to chop up everybody’s guns, we’re just trying to make the streets safer.

People are also en-couraged to ask a local gun collector because their ancient ri� e might

be something very valu-able that they want to pass on, provided they can legally pass it on.

“This amnesty is a chance to take guns and ammunition out of homes and off our streets, and make our province safer for ev-

eryone. It’s an impor-tant partnership be-tween police and British Columbians as we work together to minimize needless and avoidable tragedies,” said Shirley Bond, Minister of Jus-tice and Attorney Gen-eral.

This year, for the � rst time ever, UNBC gradu-ates will be part of a pro-gram introducing them to local governments.

“The program was developed in response to communities in central and northern B.C. that were having challenges with succession plan-ning and developing fu-ture managers and future chief administrative of� -cers,” said Janine North, CEO of the Northern Development Initiative Trust.

The new local gov-ernment management internship program is designed to help young people discover and pre-pare for careers in local government. All candi-dates for the internship have to be committed to staying and working in northern B.C. One lucky graduate is coming to Vanderhoof this June.

The Vanderhoof local government will receive a grant of $35,000 to pay for the interns salary.

Gavin Ireland, a po-

litical science graduate, spent a month in Prince George, receiving lead-ership, communications and economic develop-ment training.

“I was extremely hap-py that Vanderhoof chose me,” said Ireland. “I’m very glad I’m going, I’ve only been there a couple times but every time I have, everyone has been really nice.”

An example of what Gavin will be working on is updating both the ex-ternal and internal com-

munications program here. He has a detailed work plan developed by the municipality which includes several projects in a range of areas. He will be busy for the 11 months of the internship.

The Northern De-

velopment Initiative Trust has partnered with UNBC and the Local Government Manage-ment Association to pro-vide students with this necessary step to landing a permanent position in local government.

BRIEFLY

A 17 year old female was picked up from Valhalla High school in Vanderhoof for underage drinking on Monday, May 27.

She was described as extremely intoxi-cated and possibly on some kind of medi-cation, RCMP were called in to assist BC Ambulance but the girl was stable.

Two incidents of inappropriate touching occurred in downtown Vanderhoof Sunday, May 26. The incidents occurred in a populated area near Stewart Street at about 2 p.m.

Two females in their late 20s were grabbed from behind by a man believed by RCMP to be mentally disabled.

The man, although described by his mental health worker as hav-ing mental and social disorders, is non-vio-lent and easily fright-ened off. One woman that was touched slapped him and he im-mediately stopped and ran away.

The man has been remanded into custody after being charged with sexual assault. He will be held in a psychiatric facility pending a 30 day psych assessment.

The Nechako white sturgeon is al-ready endangered and current efforts to save them may be futile, accord-ing to a letter written by a committee dedicated to preserving the � sh.

The letter implies that the stur-geon can no longer reproduce suc-cessfully and right now extinction is inevitable unless something is done.

Sent to Lynda Currie, chair of the Nechako Environmental Enhance-ment Fund Management Committee, the letter suggests that money spent on hatchery releases of white stur-geon will be ineffective. The paper was written by the executive of the former Nechako Watershed Council.

Mayor Gerry Thiessen said that he agreed with a lot of the ideas pre-sented in the paper, but added that the paper is still a personal opinion of three people.

“There’s something we can learn from this, my hope is that the stur-geon recovery centre will be a place that we will learn from,” said Thies-sen. “We will say okay, this is what happens to a river when we make a decision as dramatic as the Kenney Dam was on the Nechako River.

“As a person who was born, raised, and lived on the Nechako river for most of my life… we need to learn from what we do when we make decisions that gives industry access to resources as important to us as the Nechako river.”

The Nechako White Sturgeon Conservation Hatchery presents the solution of introducing juvenile sturgeon into the river to combat the losses. However, this solution is � awed, states the paper.

“Aside from the trite maxim that hatchery-reared � sh are a weak sub-stitute for naturally-reared popula-tions, releasing juvenile sturgeon into an environment in which the species cannot survive demonstrates very serious planning � aws. While the hatchery program is a valid and necessary interim measure, it does nothing whatever to address other is-sues related to the ecological health of the river.”

The paper’s main argument is that because the environment is so hostile for the sturgeon, the existing measures to help the � sh are futile.

Solutions must start with restoring the � sh’s habitat and creating more natural seasonal � ows in the river.

But the Nechako Watershed Council’s argument isn’t unique in suggesting the hatchery will not be enough to save the Nechako white sturgeon. According to Don Peter-son, president of the Freshwater Fisheries Society of BC, the hatchery has long been known as only a short-term measure to protect against the extinction of the species.

“For them to come out and say that this hatchery isn’t going to save the sturgeon because it’s a habitat issue, that’s not news, thats been known for a long time,” said Peterson.

“The recovery plan was written 10 years ago. The fact of the matter is, without the hatchery to capture the genetic material present in these last mature sturgeon that exist in the river, 40 years of age or older, there won’t be any sturgeon to live in that habitat in the future. It’s buying time and that’s the strategy with the hatch-ery.”

The hatchery is expected to be up

and running by next spring and will be functioning for about 30 years while work continues on resolving the habitat issues.

Water � ows in the Nechako Riv-er are governed by the 1987 and 1997 settlement agreements with Rio Tinto Alcan. In the paper: “The 1987 Settlement Agreement estab-lished � ow levels to protect Chinook salmon and to control summer water temperatures for migrating sockeye.”

The paper further suggests that the $100 million Nechako Environ-mental Enhancement Fund (NEEF) is an ineffective investment, like treating only the symptoms of a dis-ease rather than the disease itself. The NEEF funding is to be used for working on the Nechako Watershed area, including a Cold Water Release Facility at Kenney Dam and a small portion of that funding to go towards a sturgeon hatchery.

The only way to really save the habitat is to shut down the dam, and thereby Kitimat, which isn’t going to happen in the near future.

“Even if that were to happen, it

would likely take decades for the riv-er to repair itself, so you know that’s not happening,” said Peterson.

But Peterson stated, the water release facility will provide bene� ts to the Nechako, it will de� nitely be an improvement. Just maybe not enough of one.

“I think it would be an incredible shame to lose a species thats been here for millions of years. If they’ve been here for that long, to allow it to totally drop off the face of the planet, to not � ght for it, would be a real shame,” said Thiessen.

The white sturgeon is North America’s largest freshwater � sh, it can reach up to 6 metres in length in southern B.C. and 3 metres in the Nechako. The Nechako white stur-geon is a genetically unique species that can live for more than 100 years and there are fewer than 300 � sh left in the river.

Attempts were made to contact Lynda Currie, Chair of the NEEF Management Committee, but she did not respond to interview requests by press time.

Sturgeon hatchery not enough

Recently I was fortunate enough to attend a 100 year Celebration of three pioneer families in the Vanderhoof area, the Reid family, the Armishaw family and the Gilbert family. These three fami-lies walked into the Vanderhoof area with covered wagons, arriving on May 24, 1913. Three notable families, I might add.

Upon arriving to the outskirts of town we had expected some sign on a billboard expressing ‘Congratulations and Welcome’ to greet the out-of-town folk, and/or those past residents returning to join in the celebration. But no, NOTHING. Even as we traveled throughout town we were amazed there was no mention of the gathering at all.

Shame on the township of Vanderhoof! Over time each of these families have contributed to the community and helped shape the town of Vander-hoof and surrounding area. I feel you, the council missed a golden opportunity to promote the town and it’s colourful history. Missed an opportunity for the whole town to honour and embrace it’s her-itage, where they could take pride in the history of the area and celebrate along with the families. I am not suggesting that the rest of the town would

have had to be included in all the luncheons/din-ners. But if the event had been promoted to some degree the towns people could have attended some of the tours. It would have been nice to have some official come out and say a few words. I heard at one point there was a bit of a parade planned but that was discouraged.

We are reminded all the time that our history is what shapes our present and our future. This is tangible history, with many descendants still liv-ing in around the area.

All the planning and hard work fell on the shoulders of Patricia Griffith and her cohort Na-dine Frenkel. These two women went to an incred-ible amount of work and did an amazing job!! All on there own. Shame on you!

There is an old adage that says ‘it takes a vil-lage to raise a child’ well this was an opportunity for the children to acknowledge the village and the village to say thank you to three good and faithful children.

Vanderhoof dropped the ball.

Sincerely,(Mrs.) Corinne Mufford

Minister, My name is Kari Rae and I wanted to make you aware of some

things that are happening in our school district: District 91, Nechako Lakes and speci� cally the town of Vanderhoof. School District 91 administration has put forward options for increasing the utilization of the schools in our town. All scenarios considered, except maintain-ing the status quo, involve closing two schools that are full and that maintain high academic standards and achievement.

These are sister schools; Prairiedale Elementary, which is K-3 and Sinkutview Elementary, which is 4-7. These schools have huge paren-tal involvement and support and are an integral part of the community. The schools’ closures are considered to increase the utilization rate at another school in town that is currently not fully utilized and is in need of extensive repair. The district administration has expressed an interest in trying to get a new school to replace this one but we have been told it will not be in the near future.

As parents we feel our full and thriving schools are going to be closed to over� ll an under-utilized one in the hopes that 10 years down the road a new school will be realized.

The district administration had been reluctant to share information during the community consultation period that has now ended. Re-marks from the superintendant and school board chair have belittled the parents efforts to maintain our children’s positive eductional en-vironment. The matter is now with the board of trustees to vote upon, which could happen as soon as June 17th. This is dependant upon whether the district provides requested information to the trustees to enable them to make an informed decision.

I feel this is information your of� ce should have. We have done much research on the topic of school closures over the past several months and can � nd no reference or precendance for the closure of full schools. We realize that school closures have been a reality in many communities and these were due to declining enrollment and underutilization in those schools.

Why is this school district closing full schools? This is not a legacy to be proud of.

Thank you for your time and if you have further questions please feel free to contact me.

Regards:Kari Rae

The last article we talked about how someone’s weeds are another’s treasure and how some ‘weeds’ are actually of great bene� t for health and survival!There are some plants that when introduced to a new area become invasive, no matter how great they may be for health purposes or otherwise, they can have a negative impact on the surrounding area. Invasive weeds invade, they can choke out existing plants, they can take over more than just a garden plot but & spread hundreds of miles, for those gardeners out there imagine planting some mint in a garden... you would know how its roots can spread and take over if you are not diligent, or plant it in a container, They can also cause some harm to wildlife and some farm animals who may ingest them.When gardening this year, try to be aware of the plants you are buying, planting and seeding! Take a garden tour here in Vanderhoof, meet your neighbouring gardens, respect your neighbours planting decisions, but also if you notice any invasive plants, perhaps let your neighbour know to call the weed hotline to get some good tips on how to best deal with the situation.The best way to get rid of weeds is not weed killer, which may damage neighbouring plants, or endanger local wildlife. If you happen to be growing plants that are considered invasive, make sure to take proper precautions about their spreading, and try to keep them contained!

Watch for: Leafy spurge, diffuse knapweed, � eld scabrous, common tansy, marsh plume thistle, policeman’s helmet, orange/yellow hawkweed, spotted knapweed, hounds tongue, scentless chamomile, Japanese knotweed, scotch broom, yellow toad� ax, baby’s’ breath etc. Reporting locations may be of help to the northwest invasive plant council.

Sinkut View Ele-mentary School’s Grade 6 class went on a math journey. In their Data Analysis and Probabili-ties unit they designed and ran a survey from start to � nish. There were many steps in-volved in the process and the students did all of them. The students ran the survey in all the classes at Sinkut View and crunched the data and made bar graphs of the results which they presented to the school at an assembly.

The questions ranged from: What is your favourite type of pizza? All the way to, should Sinkut view

have lockers? Or should students have uniforms for school? The answers were not what the students expected and that taught them that pre-conceived expectations and what ac-tual results are can be dif-ferent and that is why we run a survey.

It was amazing to see the students put math theory into practice so the students could see a real world example as to how the math they are learning is applied in real life.

The local air cadet squadron held their 30th annual ceremonial review on Wednesday, May 29.

The cadets were re-viewed by the of� cer in charge of all cadets in B.C. Commander Bates, Glenda Wasylenko of the Air Cadet League of Canada, their command-ing of� cer Captain John Callaghan and Mary-Lou Hascarl the 899 sponsor-

ing chair.“The [cadet] program

offers something to ev-eryone no matter what their interest,” said Has-carl to the assembled cadets. “Remember that you are successful be-cause of the skills and determination that you learned from this pro-gram.”

Awards were given out to members of the

899 Vanderhoof Royal Canadian Air Cadet Squadron in recognition of their many accom-plishments, including the Legion Medal of Excel-lence. This was awarded to Sgt. Michael Ray.

Recognition was also given to the family of the late Of� cer Cadet Leanne Burchill who was tragi-cally killed in a car crash last March.

Vanderhoof Air Cadet awarded scholarshipFor the � rst time in twelve years, a

cadet from 899 Vanderhoof Squadron has been awarded a scholarship to at-tend the Regional Gliding School (Pa-ci� c) in Comox, B.C. Sergeant Mike Ray was one of 45 cadets selected from across British Columbia to at-tend the intensive 7 week course that is paid for by the Royal Canadian Air Cadets.

While any person enrolled in the Air Cadet program may apply for the scholarship, quali� cation requires a great deal of hard work and dedica-tion. Recipients must complete a 10 week online ground school course, pass a written exam, pass an avia-tion medical exam, be interviewed by a three person board, be involved in community activities and maintain good grades in school.

Sergeant Ray, a 3 year member of the 899 Vanderhoof Air Cadet Squad-ron, is a grade 11 student at Fraser Lake Elementary Secondary School. His ultimate goal is to become a com-mercial airline pilot. The hands-on experience in the basics of � ying that Mike will attain through this scholar-ship course will give him a signi� cant boost toward achieving this goal. The course will be demanding, requiring the students to do classroom training in the mornings and practice � ying a glider in the afternoons. It is quite a commitment, but Mike is certainly up to the challenge.

The Air Cadet program is open to all girls and boys between the ages of 12 and 18. In addition to many other activities offered to the youth enrolled, the program also provides the oppor-

tunity twice each year for the Cadets to participate in gliding or � ying train-ing. This training is free for members to take part in.

For those Cadets who discover that � ying interests them, opportu-nities are available to receive � ying training through the Royal Canadian Air Cadets which is what Mike Ray is pursuing. Other aviation career op-portunities in � elds such as aviation mechanics and air traf� c control are also available through the Air Cadet program. If � ying is not their speci� c interest, then training is available for cadets in leadership skills and wilder-ness survival. Certainly, a terri� c addi-tion to any person’s resume.

Vanderhoof area teens interested in enrollment in Air Cadets may contact the local squadron at 250-567-4652.

According to a 2012 report in Brides magazine, the aver-age American couple spends just under $27,000 on their wedding, while their northern neighbors in Canada spend slightly more than $23,000 on average for their big day. Clearly couples, regardless of which side of the border they call home, can expect to in-vest a substantial amount of money for their weddings.

While many couples � nd the cost of a wedding is well worth it, others would like to � nd ways to save so their big day isn’t a budget-buster. Such savings aren’t always easy to come by, especially for couples with a very distinctive picture in mind of what their wedding should be. How-

ever, even couples strongly committed to a certain wed-ding style might change their minds once they realize how much such a dream wedding will cost. For those couples as well as couples who simply want to save some money, the following are a few ideas to avoid busting your bud-get without venturing too far from your dream wedding.

* Trim the guest list. The guest list is perhaps the easiest place to begin saving money. Many reception halls will charge by the head, so consid-er if you really need to invite 150 guests or if 100 will do. Such trimming can save you a substantial amount of money. For example, a banquet hall that charges $200 per guest

will cost couples with a guest list of 150 $30,000 for the reception alone. Cutting that guest list to 100 reduces that cost by $10,000. When put-ting together the guest list, remove those candidates who would best be described as acquaintances. This can in-clude coworkers with whom you don’t socialize, as well as old college friends to whom you rarely speak. Distant cousins you haven’t spoken to in years can also be cut from the list.

* Don’t go overboard on the gown. Styles are ever-changing, so there’s a strong chance brides won’t be pass-ing down their wedding gowns to their own daugh-ters someday. What’s popular

WeddingServicesSimple ways to save on your wedding

now will likely seem outdated by the time your daughter walks down the aisle. Keep this in mind when shopping for a wedding dress, which can be made in the same de-sign as the one you try on but with cheap-er fabrics that are a fraction of the cost.

The disparity between gown costs in the United States and Canada should paint a good picture of how easily brides can save money on their gowns. According to a sur-vey of wedding trends conducted by Wed-dingbells, an online resource for Canadian brides, the average Canadian bride in 2011 spent just under $1,800 on her wedding gown, while the average American bride spends roughly $1,100 on her gown. Though the reasons for that disparity are unclear, it’s safe to say there are savings to be had for brides who don’t want to break the bank paying for their wedding gowns.

couples prefer to get married sometime between the months of May through Oc-tober. During these months, venues and vendors, including limousine services, caterers, photogra-phers, musicians, and deejays, are more expensive. If you are willing to switch your wedding date to the off-season you can save a substantial amount of money. In addition, you likely won’t face as much competition for the best venues and ven-dors as you will dur-ing the peak wedding season.

* Trim your bever-age budget. The bar tab at the end of the reception can be con-siderable, but there are ways to save money while ensur-ing your guests can still toast you and yours with a few liba-tions. Rather than of-fering a full bar, limit the choices to beer and wine, which will be perfectly accept-able to most guests anyway. In addition, rather than paying the caterer for the wine, buy your own and you’ll save a considerable amount of money. You may have to pay the ca-terer a fee to pour the wine, but that fee is negligible com-pared to what you’d pay the company to provide the wine.

* Choose a buf-fet-style dinner over waiter service. Many guests will no doubt prefer a buffet-style dinner instead of waiter service, so take advantage of that and choose a more affordable buffet-style dinner that allows diners to choose their own en-trees and side dishes.

When it comes to trimming wedding costs, couples will have to make com-promises. But those compromises don’t have to come at the cost of a beauti-ful and memorable event.

A bride who’s willing to be � exible with respect to her wedding gown can save a substantial amount of money.


WeddingServices

Weddings are a celebration wherein guests look forward to the reception as much as the actu-al ceremony, and the food served at the wedding is often hotly an-ticipated.

Wedding re-ceptions feature a bevy of dif-ferent foods to tempt the palates of those in at-tendance. From appetizers served during the cock-tail hour to the last crumb of cake, food plays a big role in a wed-ding reception. Choosing foods for a reception can take a little forethought, es-pecially when the wedding party is especially large. The following are a few suggestions to ensure most guests are happy with the menu selections.

The first rule of thumb is variety. As much as bud-get allows, give guests the choice over what they dine on. During the cocktail hour -- if there is one -- couples can play with many different tastes and offerings. For those who want to be creative, this is the time to do so. Exotic flavors can be served alongside more traditional offerings that guests recognize. For example, of-fer Asian fusion appetizers that may have spice alongside more traditional items, like miniature quiches.

During the main course of the meal, give guests a few op-tions. Most ca-tering facilities will offer sugges-tions in their meal

Variety is the spice of life with wedding cuisinepackages. Couples can typically choose to offer a meat dish, a poultry and a seafood. This ca-ters to a wide variety of diners.

It is important for couples to recognize that many people have food allergies or are on restricted diets. While it may not be possible to provide for everyone’s specific requirements, it is possible to make some accommodations First, ask the catering manager how his company pro-vides for guests who are vegetarians or vegans. Ensure that the meal will not be simply a bunch of garnishes and vegetable side dishes lumped to-gether.

In addition, couples should recognize that many people have now adopted gluten-free life-styles. More and more restaurants and estab-lishments have expanded their offerings to include gluten-free items, so it is important for the bride and groom to confirm. People who are diabetic and must limit their con-sumption of sugars and carbohydrates may appreciate a selection of sugar-free des-serts or lower carbohydrate foods. When couples focus on meeting the needs of their guests, it shows they have put in the effort to make everyone feel welcome and comfortable at the wedding.

Couples who have the environment in mind can choose to serve organic foods and look to catering facilities that purchase

foods from local vendors and farms. If a banquet hall does not make such conces-sions, ask if specialty items that benefit organic and local food producers can be brought in. Some caterers will be happy to make the change, but it will likely affect the cost of the wedding package to do so.

Food and drink will be some of the most costly portions of a wedding, and couples who are interested in keeping costs down can still offer quality foods if they make

some changes. Varying the time of day that the wedding is held can enable a brunch or luncheon wedding to take place. These foods are often less expensive and labor-intensive to prepare, and therefore the cost savings are passed down to the bride and groom. Some couples opt for a cocktail and hors d’oeuvre-only recep-tion -- which should clearly be indicated on the invitation so that guests can plan accordingly. An informal wedding may feature only a selection of desserts and specialty liquors. This may be the least expensive option.

Food is an important factor at a wed-ding and it is in a couple’s best interest to ensure that the food served is tasty, full of variety and acceptable to the majority of the guests who will be attending the reception.

Kids will � y high on new skateboard parkFraser Lake is

finally getting a skateboard park. After years of hoping and wait-ing, Fraser Lake Skateboard Club will be off the sidewalks and onto the concrete ramps.

The park is lo-cated by the base-ball diamonds on the east side of town and is pro-jected to finish on Canada day, July 1. The Skate-board Club will hold a lunch and sell hot dogs and T-shirts.

“They’re al-way riding on the sidewalk or on some parking space,” said Mi-chael Walsh of the Fraser Lake skate-board club. “There’s probably about two dozen or more and they don’t have much space to do it in. This will be just one more way for families to en-joy themselves instead of getting up and mov-ing away to some town

with more to do.”Walsh is also at-

tempting to hold an art contest to try and get some nice artwork on the park.

Vanderhoof Mayor Gerry Thiessen has stated that he would love to see a skate-board park in Vander-hoof.

“I would like to hear from young people in the commu-nity that would use a skate park. I think that there’s a real need to have some recreation that’s not an organized recreation.”

Thiessen would like to encourage the safe use of skateboards. He

hopes to see some rep-resentation coming to council and presenting a need for such a park as its very difficult to build something un-less you can see that people would use it.

Dispelling wor-ries that the skatepark might increase drug use and crime, Thies-

sen said that crime actually goes down in communities after parks are built.

“The more you have young people in-volved in any kind of sport its a great deter-rent for any misuse of time that you might have in the commu-nity,” said Thiessen.

Construction under way on Fraser Lake skate-board park. Expected to � nish on July 1.

quite a while, and came into us severely matted. We were more concerned with removing the painful mats than maintaining her beautiful haircut, so she has some unsightly bare spots where the mats used to be. The good news is, after removing the mats, she began to trust us more and started to purr and snuggle while being pet. Missy is still a little shy and would do best in a quiet home, free of children, dogs and chaos. She needs a warm, loving lap to lay in and someone who will brush and pet her and keep her coat beautiful and mat free. Please come and meet Missy as soon as possible as she is one of a kind. Missy is 4 year old spayed female, and she is ready to be adopted.

Thirty-six regional teams from Van-derhoof, Fraser Lake, Burns Lake, and Fort St. James filled the high school soccer fields on May 25 for the annual Active Start Soccer Festival held and hosted by the Fort St. James Youth Soc-cer Association.

A total of 700 players aged four to 10, parents, coaches, volunteers, and spectators participated in the tourna-ment.

With an emphasis on fun, participa-tion, and good sportsmanship, the teams did not play for a trophy but rather to develop their skills as a team and as individual players in a competitive set-ting.

The games were a success thanks to our local businesses Overwaitea Foods for donating complimentary ice cream sundaes to the players of the tournament, Integris Credit Union for providing our local teams and their coaches with reusable water bottles, and the youth and adult volunteers who organized the tournament concession and refereed the games.

Fraser Lake will be hosting the next divisional tournament on June 21 for player aged 11-18.

If you are someone with an interest in refereeing soccer games for mini and divisional level games within Fort St. James and the region, or are a parent, coach, or player who wants some extra knowledge on the game, the Soccer Club will be hosting a referee clinic for all interested.
