First Nation chief supports land protection at Eagle Spirit

Energy chief gatheringRebecca WatsonOmineca Express

Nadleh Whut’en First Nation Chief Martin Louie is show-ing partial support for a proposed Eagle Spirit Energy (ESE) pipeline.

“I’m not selling out to nobody. Things need to be changed so everyone can survive, the planet can survive. It’s not just about us it’s about everybody in Canada and the world. This earth is dying and people don’t care.”

Eagle Spirit Energy plans to transport crude

oil from Alberta to B.C.’s northwest coast. At their chief’s gather-ing June 2 the energy company met with 30 First Nations from more than 50 tradi-tional houses who also say ‘yes’ to partnering with ESE.

After a day of presentations from top global environmental, pipeline and energy experts, participants heard from key leaders and chiefs as to why they were supporting ESE.

Chief Louie said he will continue to focus on the protection of the land as a way to sup-port moving resource development projects forward in B.C. encour-aging both the B.C. and Alberta governments to engage in a more mean-ingful and respectful way.

“I’ve researched it and there are more than one billion cars in the world sold each year, 17,000 commercial airlines and just about 50,000 ships running product. I look at all these things and think, no matter who you are, oil depends on these things. Everything in your car is made with oil, every plastic bag and plastic bottle. It’s not going to stop so, how can we do this to make it safe. If it’s go-ing to happen it’s going to happen so is there a safe way to allow it to happen?” Chief Louie said.

At the gathering, developing an environ-mental model for all us-ers of natural resources was discussed and how no one should provide a blanket endorsement on

resource development. However, hundreds of aboriginals, including Geraldine Thomas-Flurer of Saik’uz First Nation in Vanderhoof, are still not fully convinced and would like to see the changes Chief Louie speaks about.

“If we’re talking about creation of environmental laws, that’s what were fi ghting for so anything that is going to put our laws out there we are defi nitely in support of it. That doesn’t mean I’m in support of Eagle Spirit but defi nitely in support of enforcing our laws.”

From the beginning, Eagle Spirit has ac-tively met and engaged with First Nations along the proposed pipeline route initiat-ing First Nation input. Their approach has been to give aboriginal people the opportunity to address environ-mental concerns and to accommodate propor-tional economic value in the projects equity.

“But these things are not about money it’s about the environ-ment reform in B.C. and [Eagle Spirit] told me if the environments not safe were not doing anything,” Chief Louie said.

Eagle Spirit has proposed that the envi-ronmental model needs to be developed by aboriginal people.

Chief Louie ex-pressed his interest in their approach to de-veloping a world-class environment model.

“The Eagle Spirit proposed model may afford our communi-ties and others with a timely opportunity to confi rm our sup-port for an initiative that promotes our roles as environmental stewards…a role that is often ignored by gov-ernment and industry,” Chief Louie said in a press release.

Nechako Valley junior crushes provincial-wide records at high

school track championshipRebecca WatsonOmineca Express

Nechako Valley Secondary School grade eight student Simon Nemethy ac-complished what he set out to do at this years provincial track championship.

The 48 annual provincial high school track and fi eld races were held in Lang-ley June 4 to 6 on three of the hottest and driest days seen this summer.

“It was really hot the whole time but I had lots of fun. It feels really good I broke two records and broke my brothers record,” Nemethy said.

Beating out competitive students from 114 different high schools, Nemethy came fi rst in both the 1,500 and 3,000 meters races setting new provincial-wide records and personal best times.

“For Simon to be the number one guy

from B.C and he’s from this town is just awesome,” NVSS track and fi eld coach Brian Nemethy said. “Obviously I’m so proud of him. The times are quite fast, it wasn’t an easy win, and he smashed those records really well. Not to mention he’s a hockey boy that just likes the run-ning but clearly does well at it. I’m just so happy for him.”

The junior high schooler athlete beat the old 1,500 metre time previously set by Ross Wiens at 4 mins 31 seconds with a new record breaker and personal best time of 4 mins and 29 seconds. Nemethy also beat the 3,000 metre race time previ-ously set by his older brother and now senior, Alex Nemethy, by eight seconds. The former record held by Alex was 10 minutes and two seconds. Simon ran it in nine minutes and 54 seconds.

Simon is now gearing up for upcom-

ing club track meets and says it will be different since the distances get shorter.

“Instead of 1,500 metres its 1,200 me-tres and instead of 3,000 metres its 2,000 metres, so my new goal is just to break my times from last year,” Nemethy said.

Seven students from Nechako Valley took part in the province-wide track and fi eld tournament. The requirement was placing top two at the regional track and fi eld meet that was held last month in Prince George. “I’m really proud of the entire team. Seven of them went down and we had lots of personal bests. Indi-vidually they did well and quite a few of them broke NVSS school records again. They worked so hard and because they are in competition with people faster, they just keep getting better. It shows what good competition can do,” coach Nemethy said.

All this talk about germs and illness. Just a few tidbits about priming a healthy immune system. I’m sure reading over this list you won’t be surprised that its good for you all around, being healthy keeps bugs away, so here are some pointers

· If you can’t eat well, it’s a good idea to think about supplementing with a good multivitamin (good quality, remember some companies are in it for the health and have studies to back up their products, others want to produce anything a consumer will buy and are not necessarily a good quality, so you usually get what you pay for)

· Get enough sleep – being sleep deprived puts a huge amount of stress on your body, saps your energy and you end up running on empty much sooner, pushing your body more and more, and eventually into an earlier breakdown, your immune system is shot when you are sleep deprived

· Manage and or reduce stress, meditations, herbal teas, group therapy, prayer, deep breathing… there are so many options available, you need not limit yourself, even exercise in moderation helps decrease stress and helps you feel good, or if you know you get easily stressed or are entering a stressful situation consider carrying around Bach Flower Rescue Remedy and take as needed, a fl ower essence that has no contradictions with any medications but may help your body cope with stressful events.

updateRebecca WatsonOmineca Express

Little rain was observed in the Nechako reservoir area over the past week and the upcoming seven day forecast is show-ing to be relatively dry. According to Rio Tinto Alcan as of June 17, if the current trend in reduction of the reservoir infl ow continues, the spillway discharge will be reduced to approximately 300 m3/s on Wednesday. This will result in the fl ow of the Nechako River at Vanderhoof to be between 400 m3/s and 500 m3/s by next week.

Hats off to responsible pet owners

Michele Taylor

Caledonia Courier

Pet owners were out in numbers between June 13-15, taking ad-vantage of the veterinarians, veterinary technicians and volunteers who were in Fort St. James for the Canadian Animal Assistance Team’s (CAAT) Animal Health Care Clinic at the Fort Forum Arena.

CAAT does a great service for remote communities that don’t have easily accessible veterinarian services. This volunteer led pro-gram brings veterinarians and technicians to remote communities and provides spay and neuter services and is run solely on donations.

Teams arrive and set up a temporary clinic right in town - the arena in our town’s case - and set to work performing a variety of veterinary services such as spay and neuters, vaccinations, micro-chipping and education on population management for adults and dog safety for children.

According to the Canadian Federation of Humane Societies, Brit-ish Columbia comes in second behind Ontario with 40 humane soci-eties and SPCA shelters across the province. According to its statis-tics 172 humane societies and SPCA shelters in Canada took in over 103,000 cats and over 46,000 dogs in 2013.

Adoption rates were very similar at 47 per cent for cats and 45 per cent for dogs and of those animals taken into shelters in 2013, 38,000 cats and 8,000 dogs were euthanized.

The weekend clinic provided 38 spay or neuters on Saturday, an-other 45 Sunday and was expecting to see at least another 45 to 50 on Monday.

A pet is a big responsibility, and can be an expensive prospect should something unexpected happen. It was great seeing pet own-ers being responsible for their animals and taking care of their pet’s health at the clinic. Hats off to the team of volunteers from CAAT and the Fort St. James Humane Society for providing this service to our pet owners - often free of charge – and encouraging people of all ages and from all walks of life to care for their animal’s well-being.

NECHAKO RESERVOIR UPDATE

12 June 2015

Reservoir Elevation: 853.53m (2800.31 ft.)SLS Discharge: 510 m3/sCheslatta Falls: 489 m3/sNautley River: 220 m3/sVanderhoof: 653 m3/s

Water fl ow into the reservoir over the last day was slightly lower than outfl ow. Spillway discharge will remain at 510m3/s in order to reduce reservoir elevation to the normal maximum operating level of 2800 feet as soon as possible. Flow level in the Nechako River at Cheslatta Falls and Vande-rhoof will likely remain near the current level for the next few weeks.

Some precipitation is expected over the next several days. The 5 to 7 day forecast is signifi cantly wetter than it was yesterday. There could be up to 40 mm of rain falling in the reservoir area early next week.

If the current trend in reduction of reservoir infl ow continues, fl ow in the Nechako River will be reduced in the last week of June.

Please note that the fl ow from Nautley River from the Water Survey of Canada gauge (shown above) is not accurate due to back pressure from the high wa-ter level in the Nechako River.

Visit website www.wateroffi ce.ec.gc.ca for up to date real-time fl ow information for the Nechako River.

Thank you!

Thank you to our wonderful sponsors,

volunteers and everyone that joined us

on June 7th for the Healthy Kids Day Picnic!

YMCA celebrates Healthy Kids Day

On Sunday, June 7 the YMCA in Vanderhoof joined over 1,000 communities across Canada in celebration of Healthy Kids Day.

This national day is dedicated to improving the health and well-being of kids.

To mark the inaugural event in Vanderhoof, organizers decided to host a family-friendly picnic in Ferland Park and invited the community to come out and celebrate the day and engaged in healthy activities.

“Go outside, spend time together, laugh, run around, eat your fruit and veggies, soak up a bit of sunshine, smile, get a bit crafty now and then… really it’s the basics to healthy living, a lot easier than some may think and good not only for the kids, but for everyone. I am thrilled to see so many families out enjoying the day together,” Kristin Webster, YMCA Recreation Coordinator and event organizer said.

The staff and volunteers at the YMCA fi lled Ferland Park with bubbles, bouncy castles, arts and crafts, face painting, healthy snacks, prizes and a good ol’fashioned watermelon eating contest.

Big congrats to our winners Kassittie Kennedy and Dawson Knackstedt who ate 11 slices of watermelon in two minutes!!

The YMCA would like to thank all of their volunteers and the families that came out to join us on Sunday as well as the District of Vanderhoof for their support as well as the Vanderhoof and District Co-op and Independent Grocer for the donation of all of the fruit kebobs and watermelons for the event.
