Two weeks ago, a 12-person jury found Legebokoff guilty of four counts of � rst degree murder in the 2009/ 2010 deaths of Jill Stuchenko, Natasha Montgomery, Cynthia Maas and Loren Donn Leslie.

Before handing down the mandatory sentences, B.C. Su-preme Court Justice Glen Parrett gave a summary of what is known about each of the murders. He described extensive injuries, “dis-� guring and degrading acts” and indignities in-� icted upon the victims.

“These are not the actions of a simple kill-er,” he said, “but some-thing in� nitely worse.”

He outlined evidence such as DNA analysis in the Crown’s case against Legebokoff . Nothing in the evidence, raised a doubt about Legebo-koff’s guilt, he said.

“It is clear [from the verdict] that the jury, in my view, rejected much of the accused’s evi-dence.”

The judge gave his own � ndings about some evidence and pro-vided his opinion of the man who committed the murders.

“He [Legebokoff] should never be allowed to walk with us again,”

said Parrett. Legebokoff will not

be eligible for parole until November 28, 2035. However because his offences were com-mitted before Dec. 2, 2011 he may still ap-ply for parole under the faint hope clause, after serving 15 years.

In the murder of Legebokoff’s � rst vic-tim Jill Stuchenko, 35, Parrett said while others were enjoying Thanks-giving dinner Oct. 10, 2009, Stuchenko was most likely dead or dying. Her body was found Oct. 26 in a shal-low grave off Otway Road. Stuchenko had suffered massive blunt force injuries to her scalp, with cuts and multiple bruises to her forehead, both arms and knees. Her blood loss was “so extreme” that a pathologist in the case said he had a hard time getting a blood sample.

Natasha Montgom-ery, 23, likely died around August 31 or September 1, 2010. Her body has not been found. However, shorts worn by Legebokoff when he met with Loren Leslie on November 27, 2010 had areas of DNA matching Montgom-ery’s genetic pro� le. An axe found in a hallway closet at Legebokoff’s Liard Drive apartment yielded 14

Omineca ExpressJust in time for autumn, students returned to classes last Mon-

day, Sept. 22, nearly a month after school had been scheduled to resume.

Classes ran for a half-day on Monday, the � rst of� cial day of school, ending three hours earlier than regular with Tuesday see-ing students in class for their � rst full day in months.

Not everyone has returned to classes as of yet however, with Babine Elementary School set to open tomorrow, Sept. 25 for its � rst full day back.

Classes returned after the B.C. Teacher’s Federation (BCTF) voted in favour of accepting a negotiated contract. Of the more than 30,000 teachers who voted on the deal, 86 per cent voted in favour of it.

Despite 14 days missed during this school year so far, the B.C. Ministry of Education is saying that school calendars will not be changed or extended in any way to make up for the lost time.

Minister of Education Peter Fassbender commented on the agreement in a press release saying “I want to thank and congrat-ulate B.C. teachers for voting in favour of the agreement reached

earlier this week between the BCTF and the BCPSEA bargain-ing teams.” Fassbender added “We can now focus in the path forward. This long-term agreement is an historic opportunity to work together for students - to enhance their education experi-ence and support their achievements.”

The deal reached between the two parties will see among nu-merous other things, a wage increase for B.C. teachers of 7.25 per cent over the next six years.

The deal also included the creation of a committee made up of representatives from the BCTF and the government to strat-egize about how to best bring teachers salaries to a level that re� ects those of the rest of their peers in both the private sector and across the country.

Teachers also received $105 million in regards to grievances stemming for the 2014 ruling by Justice Susan Grif� n in regards to the British Columbia government’s violation of class size, composition and specialist teachers ratio which Grif� n ruled was stripped unconstitutionally by the government in 2002.

School District No. 91, which operates here in Vanderhoof said in a press release that they are pleased with settlement and that students and staff can � nally return to school. They also noted that they thanked parents for their patience during a trying time.

Legebokoff verdict

They’re baaaaack! Students prepare to hit the books as school resumed early this week

From frontmatches to Mont-

gomery, along with oth-er bloodstains found on curtains, comforter in Legebokoff’s bedroom, cuttings from a carpet, box spring mattress and linoleum � oor – all matches to Montgom-ery’s genetic pro� le.

Cynthia Maas, 35, died Sept. 10, 2010. She suffered blunt force trauma to her face and head, 16 impacts to her skull, fractured ribs and injuries to her ver-tebrae. Parrett noted her body had been left naked from the waist down. He described DNA evidence in her case including from bloodstains on a picka-roon found in Legebo-koff’s bedroom and on black shoes seized from his Liard Drive apart-ment which yielded 25 matches to Maas. The judge found Maas was murdered and that the pickaroon or logging tool was “one of the tools” used in that mur-der.

Loren Leslie, 15, was found dead, lying face down, having been dragged into the bush “in an apparent attempt to conceal or delay” � nding her body, said Parrett. Her pants and underpants were pulled down around her feet – similar in manner to that of Maas. Leslie’s body was discovered around midnight Nov. 27, 2010 by a conservation of� -cer near a logging road off Highway 27 (north of Vanderhoof).

On that night, po-lice now had in custody a suspect for Leslie’s murder who had never been on their radar be-fore (as a suspect in other murders), noted Parrett.

Reading from his written comments, Par-rett commended a par-ticular RCMP of� cer involved in that case. He was aware, he said, that “we should all be eternally grateful,” to a young and inexpe-rienced police of� cer – Const. Aaron Kehler – whose instincts and actions taken Nov. 27, 2010 led to the arrest

Legeboko� sentenced to lifeof Legebokoff and a � rst charge of murder in Leslie’s case. Good luck (in timing) and good fortune initially brought Kehler to that location to connect up with another of� cer (Const. Sidhu) around 9:35 p.m. he noted. Legebokoff who was noticed by Kehler as he came off the logging road at a “high rate of speed,” was pulled over and questioned. That police investigation led to the merging of the other murder investi-gations (Stuchenko, Montgomery and Maas) that resulted in the other three � rst degree mur-der charges laid against Legebokoff.

The judge said text messages between Leslie and Legebokoff before they met are “highly revealing and chilling” when closely examined. They also provide a timeline of events leading up to the murder, he said.

Parrett found that Leslie had self-defence wounds from warding off her attacker and that none of her injuries, speci� cally cuts to her

neck, were self-in� ict-ed.

Similarities in the murders pointed to the fact all four victims were killed by one per-son. Further, Parrett read out several passag-es in Legebokoff’s “cur-rent version of events” given in his August 26 and 27 testimony as ex-amples of where Lege-bokoff may uninten-tionally have provided us with a glimpse of what resides within him and show that he lacks empathy or remorse.

“His responses were, in my view, highly re-vealing,” said Parrett.

The judge said Lege-bokoff “dehumanized” Leslie when he referred to � nding her body as “it” in an interview with Sidhu. And he dis-missed Legebokoff’s claim that he was pres-ent during the mur-ders but that people he would only identify as X, Y and Z did the kill-ing.

“I do not believe that X, Y, or Z exist or that they were in-volved in the murders (of Stuchenko, Maas, Montgomery),” said

Parrett.Parrett said Tuesday

“nothing useful” could come of proceeding with Legebokoff’s ci-tation for contempt of court which arose from his refusal to put names to “X,Y, and Z.”

There was an order that Legebokoff’s name be added to the national sexual assault registry and he must submit to giving samples of his DNA.

But Parrett had kind, compassionate words for the murdered wom-en’s families whose victim impact were statements in court on Friday.

Looking up from his notes, Parrett said

he’d been torn trying to decide whether or not to “quote extensively” from victim impact statements – or respect-ing a degree of privacy for the families by not reading them out.

In choosing the lat-ter, Parrett assured them – in an unsteady voice that choked up as he spoke – that he had read each one over “more than once.”

After Parrett left the bench, and as Legebo-koff was being led away by sheriffs, a man in the public gallery yelled at him to, “tell us where her [Montgomery’s] body is.” Legebokoff did not respond and kept on walking.

On Wednesday, Sept. 17 at around 11 a.m. Vanderhoof RCMP were advised of a harassment case in which a male had been reported as watching the house of an ex-part-ner. A subsequent in-vestigation by Vander-hoof RCMP found that an occurrence of crimi-nal harassment had occurred and RCMP of� cers arrested the suspect under their vio-lence and relationships policy. The suspect, a 42 year old male, was charged with criminal harassment and ap-peared in court on Sept. 19 in Prince George for a bail hearing.

The Vanderhoof RCMP noted that they take issues like this one very seriously and pur-sue them to the fullest extent possible.

***On Thursday, Sept.

18 at around 11 a.m. Vanderhoof RCMP of-� cers responded to a report of suspicious material at the L&M Lumber mill in Van-derhoof. L&M Lumber initiated evacuation measures and RCMP of� cers secured the scene and began an investigation into the report.

B.C. RCMP Explo-sives Unit was contact-ed in regards to the sus-picious material which was initially believed by some to be an explo-sive device.

The subsequent in-vestigation led RCMP of� cers to a home in the area of Vanderview Drive. Of� cers secured the home of the suspect without incident and they were taken into custody.

Residents in the Vanderview Drive area were evacuated and others were told to remain inside their homes while of� cers investigated.

RCMP Of� cers with the advice from the B.C. RCMP Explosive Unit recovered the sus-picious material and through an investiga-tion determined that the material posed no threat.

derhoof RCMP detach-ment said in a press release, “At no point during this investiga-tion was the public put in harm’s way and we are very pleased with the way that the mill re-sponded to the incident and the way our mem-bers responded in this potentially high risk situation. We are re-lieved that this is where the evidence took us and pleased with the outcome.” The sus-pect was lated released by RCMP of� cers.

Of� cers reported that now that school has re-

sumed it is important to be aware of school zones while driving. Speeding penalties in school zones are sig-ni� cantly stiffer than regular speeding � nes and can affect your in-surance premiums, im-pound your vehicle or hurt your bank account.

Penalties for trav-elling one to 20 kilo-metres over the speed limit while in a school zone carries with it a � ne of $196, whereas a normal � ne would be $138. Driving at a speed that is 21 to 40 kilometres over the speed limit in a school zone carries with it

a � ne of $253 com-pared to a regular � ne of $196. Travelling in excess of 40 kilometres

in a school zone war-rants a charge of exces-sive driving that carries with it a � ne of $368, a

ciated with aggressive driving that lasts for three years.

John Rustad’s Min-istry of Aboriginal Re-lations and Reconcili-ation has appointed a new chairperson to the Minister’s Advisory Council on Aboriginal Women (MACAW).

Chastity A. Davis, a member of the Tla’amin Nation on the coast of British Columbia, will be replacing Wendy Grant-John who has been the chairperson for the council since 2011. Davis is the lead con-sultant with Chastity Davis Consulting and the director with the Industry Council of Ab-original business. She is also a member of the Minvera Foundation, a B.C. women’s charity, council and previously served as the vice presi-dent for the Aboriginal Women’s Leadership association of B.C.

Davis said in a press release regarding her appointment to the council, “I am hon-oured to be appointed as chairperson for the Aboriginal Women’s Advisory Council and look forward to con-

tinuing the great work started by Wendy and all the extraordinary women on the council who contribute their time, energy and wis-dom sel� essly to this important body.”

The MACAW was conceived as a result of the B.C. government’s co-host role at the Col-laboration to End Vio-lence: National Aborig-inal Women’s forum that took place in 2011.

The MACAW’s goal is to help advise the government on ways to improve the quality of life for aboriginal wom-en in British Columbia. They hope to, as out-lined in a throne speech commitment, to create a comprehensive strategy to help end violence in B.C. and provide women with the support structures they need to help escape and prevent violent situations.

The ministry will also be welcoming two new members to the ad-visory council includ-ing Barb Ward-Burkitt, the executive director of the aboriginal friend-ship centre in Prince George and Dr. Lorna Williams, the chair-

In July of 2014 the Parliamentary Secre-tary for Healthy Living and Seniors, Michelle Stilwell, awarded Van-derhoof $1,000 in hon-our of being labelled an age-friendly com-munity.

Earlier this month at municipal council, council decided to do-nate that $1,000 to the Seniors Connected organization and the town of Fort St. James to help bring the Coun-cil of Senior Citizens’ organization of B.C. (COSCO) to Vander-hoof for a series of senior-oriented work-shops.

To have achieved the award and recognition, Vanderhoof competed four steps including creating an advisory committee, passing a local government reso-lution, conducting an age-friendly assess-ment and developing an action plan.

The workshops would be on topics

Vanderhoof, Fort St. James to host seniors workshops such as memory and ageing, mature drivers assessment procedure, frauds and scams and caregiving.

Workshops would take place on two con-secutive days with one day in Fort St. James and another in Vander-hoof.

Seniors Connected would arrange trans-portation to and from the communities.

The $1,000 received would be used to cover facilitation costs for workshops in Van-derhoof including the price of the venue, food and refreshments, mar-keting and promotional material and more.

Stilwell said about the awardment, “these communities recog-nize the importance of helping seniors remain independent and active.

Whether it is something as simple as installing benches or making lo-cal services more ac-cessible, participating the age-friendly pro-gram is an investment in the wellbeing of seniors. I’m con� dent that other communities in British Columbia will recognize the val-ue of this program and join the age-friendly movement.”

SENIORS CONNECTED... is

looking for Seniors in need of Outreach &

Transportation. We are also taking applications for Volunteers wanting to take part in the VSC Program. Vanderhoof

Seniors Connected is a program dedicated to

improving the quality of life for Seniors/Elders in our community through

VICTORIA – This November, voters will be hiring local politi-cians for a four-year term, rather than three.

It’s a good time to ask some tough questions about the perfor-mance of councils on the job they are assigned to do, as opposed to posturing about senior government matters.

Remember when it was fash-ionable for city councils to declare their communities “a nuclear weap-ons-free zone”? You can still see the signs entering Vancouver and Nanaimo. Alert voters may won-der: “Did they really think we’re that stupid?” Yes, they did. And some of them still do.

To illustrate, allow me to intro-duce my poster child for bad local government, Victoria city council-lor Ben Isitt.

A long-time NDP activist, Isitt got elected three years ago after raising his name recognition with a couple of runs for mayor. His rook-ie term has been notable for a series of stunts that extend his career as a professional student, campus radi-cal and occasional history lecturer.

One of Isitt’s big studies is the in� uence of Soviet communism on the B.C. NDP. He was on one of his visits to Russia earlier this year when President Vladimir Putin was having his way with Crimea.

Isitt’s fondness for state control was on display last fall when ab-original protesters disrupted natu-

ral gas drilling in New Brunswick, torching several police vehicles in the process.

Isitt took to his Facebook page to decry the federal government’s use of police against the popula-tion, and suggested Canada should emulate Venezuela, where petro-leum resources bene� t the people rather than corporations.

Venezuela sells gasoline for nine cents a gallon, the late Hugo Chavez’s gift to his people after nationalizing the oil industry. The capital, Caracas, is famous for ex-treme poverty, brutally suppressed riots, and a crime rate so bad it ranks among the world’s most dan-gerous cities.

How does Isitt’s political out-look translate to his role in local government?

This week local politicians gath-er in Whistler for the annual Union of B.C. Municipalities convention. One of Isitt’s � rst contributions a couple of years ago was at a UBCM workshop on how to � nance local infrastructure.

Isitt proposed setting up a mu-nicipal income tax. Presumably this would be on top of property taxes.

In its wisdom, Victoria coun-cil appointed Isitt as their Capital Regional District representative. In that capacity he led the charge against Canada Post’s decision to wind up door-to-door delivery for the minority of people who aren’t already using community mail-

boxes.After instructing Ottawa to ac-

celerate the bankruptcy of this Crown corporation, Isitt began or-dering the province to intervene in a dispute over Grace Islet, a rocky point off Salt Spring Island where an Alberta man is trying to build a retirement home. The dispute cen-tres on aboriginal burial grounds and artifacts, and Isitt appointed himself advocate for the grievances of native people.

When the B.C. government didn’t follow his instructions, he demanded that the CRD expropri-ate the land and evict the owner. Island politics being what it is, this was actually considered before cooler heads prevailed.

And how are things with the CRD’s real job while the Isitt circus rolls on? The most over-governed region in B.C. remains locked in a bitter turf war over a federally mandated sewage treatment proj-ect, and is on the verge of forfeiting hundreds of millions in provincial funds.

So voters should ask themselves a couple of questions this Novem-ber. Is your council doing the job it was hired to do? And do you trust these individuals with your wallet until the fall of 2018?

In the aftermath of the conviction and sentencing of serial killer Cody Legebokoff, a series of photographic, audio and video evidence shown to the jury and the courts were made public and appeared in an article by the Prince George Citizen on their website.

The evidence included photographs of crime scenes and Legebo-koff’s home and personal affects, audio and video recordings of his arrest and subsequent interviews and interrogations by police person-nel.

Regardless of the ethical issues of releasing these types of record-ings to the public, what the photos and recordings did was provide a rare opportunity to examine Legebokoff in more depth than the aver-age citizen will ever get to, or want to.

Upon watching some four hours of the over 12 hours of footage made available one thing stood out to me above all else. Legebokoff seems throughout all of the recordings, at least externally, normal.

Even moments after his arrest and committing the murder of Loren Leslie, Legebokoff seems completely at peace and utterly average.

Perhaps that is what is most frightening about the tapes; how in-credibly innocuous he appears on the outside.

It is that that is terrifying, that Legebokoff could be anybody: the boy next door, the hunter down the street; that he appears for all in-tents and purposes sensible, good-natured and remarkably average.

And yet, as we all sadly have found out, he is anything but. The tapes offer brief glimpses of what is underneath the facade of

a “good ol’ northern boy.” A moment of cavalier here, a tone of voice there all in regards to the brutal murders of four women.

These tapes are so terrifying because they illustrate just how nor-mal a predator can appear to those around them. They could be walk-ing amongst us and we would never know and that is truly chilling.

The question lies in how to identify and prevent these types of predators from doing what it is that they do and that question seems to me to be harder than ever to answer after viewing these tapes. We like to imagine that all those that would do us and our children harm are identi� able, but the sad truth is that many of them appear exactly like Legebokoff did: normal.

Police tapes reveal terrifying

normalcy

Canada’s Pipelines

KEEPING CANADA’SENERGY HIGHWAYS SAFE

HOW PIPELINE COMPANIES ARE TAKING STANDARDS TO A NEW LEVEL

Pipelines – known as energy highways – are vital to our country’s energy infrastructure.

Without them, we wouldn’t be able to do many of our daily activities, like travelling or heating our homes.

That’s why it’s critical pipelines are efficient and safe – we need them to reliably deliver 80 per cent of the oil and gas products Canadians use.

Canada’s pipeline companies carefully follow a strict set of standards and regulations and use sophisticated equipment at every phase of a pipeline’s life – from design and construction to operations, maintenance and emergency response plans.

These measures and innovative practices allow Canada’s pipeline industry to boast a 99.999 per cent* safety record.

But we’re not stopping there. We’re committed to zero incidents; to reach it, we are focusing on new pipeline innovation, employee safety and emergency management through an industry led program, CEPA Integrity First®.

Safety doesn’t just influence our plans, processes and standards – it defines them. It is the top priority of our industry, now and in the future.

Learn more about Canada’s pipelines and our safety standards.

It’s not very often that we hear the words � nancial institution and philanthropic in the news these days. We’re more accustomed to hearing them associated with words like embezzle-ment, fraud and tax eva-sion. However, the north-west’s Integris Credit Union has been working to change that stereotype through it’s philanthropic work via it’s sister or-ganization the Integris Community Foundation.

Started in 2002, the Integris Community Foundation is a grow-ing capital fund, which means that it is a sum of money earning (or pos-sibly losing) income on the global market. with a base capital sum of $1.7 million, Integris Com-munity Foundation has yet to lose any money on the market and typically brings in anywhere from $35,000 to $50,000 in in-come each year, money that it uses to fund its philanthropic work.

Work such as the Community Garden program in Vanderhoof which they helped fund, the IDIDALAP4CAN-CER fundraiser, the McLeod Wetland project and the Cops 4 Cancer Tour de North that the foundation has been in-volved with for a number of years.

In continuation of their ongoing support for Cops 4 Cancer, this year the Integris Community Foundation organized, and paid for, the � rst varsity football game of season, organizing and paying for transportation

of the Quesnel Clansmen out of pocket to ensure that the event would happen and the Cops 4 Cancer riders would have a venue to spread their message as a halftime show.

The Integris Community Founda-tion serves Vanderhoof, Fort St. James,

Prince George, Quesnel, Clinton and the outlying smaller areas like Fraser Lake and Fort Fraser and is headed up by a board of community and Integris Credit Union members who oversee the foundations work and � nancial man-agement.

The Community Foundation is so committed to community-oriented philanthropy that the organization ac-tually pays its employees to volunteer and donate time and money to worthy causes, not only giving employees a incentive to help out, but cementing

their reputation as a community-cen-tric organization � rst and a � nancial institution second.

Integris Community Foundation is currently accepting applications for funding through their website www.integriscu.ca

Green living can be a tough ay to live, so lets talk about ways to focus and make it happen in your home.

Last week we talked brie� y about the kitchen, so the next place that will make the most impact.. laundry room. simplify your life by using castile soaps, baking soda, and organic products rather than 30 different types of cleaners. Elbow grease and simple ingredients make amazing cleaning combatants. By consolidating your household cleaners, you reduce waste, save money and most of all no chemical residues in your home, on pets or in the mouth of little children who crawl on the � oor.. and let’s face it.. put everything in their mouths.. . dryer sheets are another big environmental de� ler. If you’ve got static then consider hanging or running the clothing over a metal bar, or hanging your clothes to dry instead. (you may even have a few days of weather good enough to hang laundry outside)

No idea where to begin? Then give me a call and we can make a plan that � ts for you.

Too often aside from chemical components in cleaning products, you � nd many underlying breathing, skin and mood issue that are connected to a toxic overload from fumes and residues in the home that over years and years accumulate to something more. Remember to air out your home as it is one of the most toxic environments ( due mostly to chemicals, air fresheners, aerosol sprays, detergents, cleaning sprays, waxes, glows, shines you name it… )

Next week.. let’s focus on food!

B.C. recognizes local innovationJesse Cole

Omineca Express

A Vanderhoof man has re-ceived a $2,500 award for his work in stewardship and inno-vation regarding regional wood-lots.

Clayton Foster received the award for the North region from Forests, Lands and Natural Re-source Operations Minister Steve Thomson in recognition of his practices in woodlot manage-ment.

Clayton is a woodlot licens-ee, meaning that he manages a small, area based tenure. There

are over 860 active woodlots in British Columbia, each one cre-ating jobs in areas like harvest-ing, constructions, maintained, silviculture and small-scale tim-ber processing.

Foster was one of just four British Columbians who was recognized for their innovation.

The awards were given out in a presentation at the Federa-tion of B.C. Woodlot Associa-tions Annual Conference held in Golden, B.C.

Nechako Lakes MLA John Rustad addressed the win by one of his constituents saying “Woodlots across our province

create jobs in planning, road construction, harvesting, main-tenance, reforestation and small-scall time processing. Under the dedicated leadership of people like Clayton Foster, the woodlot industry makes a difference to our local and provincial econo-mies. Congratulations, Clayton. Thank you for making a differ-ence in our region and province.”

President of the Federeation of B.C. Woodlot Associations, Mark Clark also echoed Rus-tad’s congratulations saying, “The Federation is very pleased to join with Minister Thomson in recognizing these exceptional

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21Gemini, you have plenty of motivation to get a project started. All you need is some help to get things off the ground. Others will be inspired by your enthusiasm.

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22Cancer, others seem to spend time in the spotlight, but you’re more comfortable spending time in the shadows. Make the most of this time for quiet reflection.

Nathan Nunn and Michael Hooper both attended Evelyn Dick-son Elementary. They also both attended Nechako Valley Second-ary School. They both graduated in 1992 and, believe it or not, they’re both professors at Cam-bridge, Mass. Harvard University.

Just how did these two, small-town boys manage to go from Van-derhoof to Harvard? They did so by sticking to their guns and refus-ing to give in to any small-town stigma that might have blocked their paths.

“I don’t feel like this is the only route by any stretch and I have a real respect for people who choose to stay local - I think that’s fantastic and that can be very grounded; you make huge contributions doing that,” said Hooper. “But I think sometimes one of the challenges is that it’s easy to have your curiosity dampened down and to curb your goals, whatever they may be, based on the community around you… sometimes that can take a bit of courage to stick to your guns, whatever those divergent paths mighty be in a smaller community.”

Both Nunn and Hooper grew up just outside of Vander-hoof’s downtown core and both of them have gone on to pursue academia in some of the most well respected schools the globe over.

Nunn attended the University of British Columbia where he studied Communications before moving onto economics at the University of Toronto and � nally being offered a job at the Michigan Institute of Technology (MIT) and Harvard, where he � nally settled and was offered tenure and named by the International Monetary Fund as one of the worlds leading economists.

Similarily, Hooper graduated from NVSS and went on to

attend McGill University, Stanford and MIT before taking position with the United Nations and � nally a position with Harvard’s Graduate School of Design.

Hooper believes that his work, which has taken him to places as diverse as Kenya and New York City where he studied land use and land claim con� icts, stems from his ex-periences in Vanderhoof.

“It was probably, truthfully, my experience in Vander-hoof,” said Hooper. “…The fact that land and land use are a big part of life in Northern Canada and British Columbia and in Vanderhoof.” Adding that he feels that his work is the natural extension of his interests and time spent in Van-derhoof.

Both Hooper and Nunn’s affection for their hometown was clear in their voices with both of them saying that Van-derhoof was a “great place to grow up in.”

Despite all the opportunities and bene� ts of growing up in a rural environment like Vanderhoof, some of the towns youth feel a pull to a different life than the one most com-monly pursued in rural towns and Nunn and Hooper spoke to the challenges that can be associated with leaving a small, northern town for the big city life of universities.

“If you grew up in Vanderhoof almost everyone you talk to is someone you have heard of,” said Nunn. “That’s one

thing, meeting people you know nothing about, it’s kind of a new skill that you don’t experience as much in Vanderhoof.” said Nunn.

Hooper also weighed in on the challenges of mov-ing from the north to aca-demia’s heart saying,

“One challenge is that sometimes the certain path you take can make you feel a little bit disconnected from that rural existence while you never quite in-tegrate into a community like Harvard, either. Add-ing, “It’s probably very healthy, actually, that you occupy that in-between space. Truthfully you’ve had to relinquish some of the connections to your background but at the same

time you haven’t become subsumed by a very urban, met-ropolitan and global institution. You kind of maintain this detachment which I think is health, the downside is I think you’re slightly divorced from both poles.”

While both professors commented on the dif� culties of growing up rural and moving to an urban environment, but also said that there is nothing wrong with choosing to stay in Vanderhoof as well as noting that it is always possible to pursue your goals, regardless of what they may be.

“I’d say in general, it’s totally � ne if you want to stay in Vanderhoof, it’s an awesome place to live and you can’t beat the quality of life. However, I think it’s bene� cial and helps a person to leave after high school and to go see the world,” said Nunn on leaving Vanderhoof. “Then you can make a choice in an informed way of whether or not you want to come back and live in Vanderhoof.”

While neither Hooper nor Nunn currently live in Vander-hoof, both of them say they have fond memories of their youth spent in the Nechako Valley and if nothing more both Nunn and Hooper can serve as a beacon to their fellow Van-derhoo� ans that regardless of where you come from or what you want to do if you work hard enough you can achieve your goals.
