Smithers elects councillors, trusteesBy Chris GareauSmithers/Interior News
Smithereens elected a mix of new and familiar faces to represent them on town council and the school board.
After the retirement of three councillors, 1,281 voters chose from nine candidates for six seats.
All three incumbents were returned to council for the next four-year term. Frank Wray, Phil Brienesse and Bill Goodacre will join newcomers Gladys Atrill, Greg Brown and Shelley Browne at the new council’s first meeting on Dec. 9.
Atrill was the biggest vote-getter, earning the confidence of 942 residents in her first campaign.
“Of course it feels pretty good. I’m pretty amazed and I’m very appreciative for the support that
I received,” said Atrill, who plans on staying involved with Tourism Smithers.
Atrill pointed to her contributions in tourism and volunteering as reasons why people supported her run. She added that her ability to see different sides of an issue also helped. Work on the official community plan (OCP) is something she and other councillors are looking forward to.
“We need a lot of different things in town to make it healthy, and I think the OCP process is an opportunity for residents to contribute to that,” said Atrill.
Greg Brown said his engagement at the door helped him connect and earn him the third-highest vote total.
“If you give people the opportunity to think about things, they will be thoughtful. What I liked is first they had a
position like ‘Smithers is closed for business’, so I asked ‘how would you like to change it?’” said Brown.
“That was the beginning of how I want to spend the next four years.”
Brienesse said the turnover due to retirements helped incumbents, as did the last council’s availability with residents. He sees councillors new and old working well together. He said he plans to avoid the last council’s rocky start.
“Just getting to know each other and our own personal styles so we can have a really productive council that gets along well and discusses things without getting personal and making sure that we focus on the issues,” said Brienesse.
Wray said he was honoured to be re-elected, and hopes his experience will be helpful.
“I think my role is to provide context and history for some of the
decisions that we have made, and also help pass on the knowledge of the processes that we have to follow,” said Wray.
Dawn Hanson is one of the new faces on the Bulkley Valley School District 54 board. She said her message of more communication resonated with voters.
“I think we need to explore ways we can connect with people, and I think that comes from a broad conversation as a board to help gather ideas; I think it comes as a broad conversation with community members on how is the best way to communicate with them and share and be open; and I also think there are roles you can do individually as a trustee, having social media that you use... to share information that is public,” said Hanson.

Many new faces elected in TelkwaBy Kendra WongTelkwa/Interior News
The Village of Telkwa has a new mayor for the next four years — and his name is Darcy Repen.
Repen defeated mayoral candidate and councillor Rimas Zitkauskas with 283 votes, 104 more votes than Zitkauskas and 240 more than Vicky Rokstad, according to unofficial results that were released late Saturday night.
“It’s super exciting and I think the most exciting part for me was the number of people who turned out to vote,” said Repen, who watched the results trickle in from the village office.
During this election, 508 people cast their votes out of 1,024 eligible voters, according to unofficial results. That is a 49 per cent turnout.
In the 2011 election, the voter turnout rate was 35
per cent with only 298 votes cast.
“The people are ready for a change in the government and a change in the approach,” said Repen. “I really feel like people do want to participate in the village and the government and in the decision-making process and that was a key to my platform.”
Once he is sworn into office, Repen hopes to begin engaging with the community.
“My number one priority is getting in place a mechanism so that we can engage the people that are here with that government process,” he said.
Not only does the village have a new mayor, but there are three new faces joining council this term as well.
Leroy Dekens, the owner of RaceTrac Gas Station, was elected with 370 votes, the most that any councillor or mayoral candidate received.
“I was happy. [I’m] interested to see how everything is going to go. I’m very happy for the support that I got,” said Dekens.
“I think the Village of Telkwa wants some change and I think it’s a good thing. Hopefully I can live up to what they want.”
All for Less owner Coralee Karrer and Annette Morgan will also be joining the ranks after receiving 274 and 239 votes, respectively.
Brad Layton rounds out the pack, returning for a second term after receiving 229 votes, only seven votes more than councillor Rick Fuerst.
Layton will be the only one with previous council experience.
John McDivitt received 204 votes, while outgoing mayor Carman Graf received 192.
In the race for school trustee for Electoral Area
3 Telkwa/Quick, Billie Jean Beaubien ousted incumbent Judy McIntosh by a mere three votes.
“There was a big cheer on the airplane. We’re pretty excited. A little nervous, but I think it will be good,” said Beaubien who was on a flight back from Fort Lauderdale when she found out she won.
“It could have been [McIntosh] just as easy, I think it was just maybe a few extra people that I knew. I wasn’t even here to vote for myself.”
According to the Elections B.C. guidebook, after the final count, the district electoral officer must ask for a judicial recount if the candidates are separated by less than 1/500 of the total ballots considered.
The last day for applications asking for a judicial recount is on Nov. 24.

Columbia Dr. rezone approvedCDC expects to start move in early spring
By Chris GareauSmithers/Interior News
The Bulkley Valley Child Development Centre can now purchase the property at 1471 Columbia Drive and move its services there after Smithers town council passed a contentious rezoning last Monday.
The vote, held in front of a packed gallery of residents opposed and for the rezoning, was 3-2, with councillors Charlie Northrup and Frank Wray opposed, Mark Bandstra recused, and Norm Adomeit absent. Mayor Taylor Bachrach and councillors Phil Brienesse and Bill Goodacre voted for the rezoning.
CDC executive director Kerri Bassett Kluss said she had to pace the hallway outside council chambers to fight nerves as council members each explained their reasoning before the vote.
“We can move forward
as an organization in a new location that’s inclusive and accessible for children and their families in Smithers. We’re very excited and very pleased with council’s decision tonight,” said Bassett Kluss.
Mayor Bachrach, who has called this decision the hardest of this council’s three-year term, was the deciding vote after the four councillors present stated their intentions and reasoning. He told those gathered at the meeting that the decision was ultimately
about land use.“I’m going to support
the P2 zoning tonight in the knowledge that we plan to tackle (permitted uses in P2) and clean up what has really been a bit of a grab bag zone that we’ve stuffed a bunch of uses that we didn’t know what to do with into that zone.
“Just for the future of the town it behooves us to take a really good look at it, to clean it up. There’s been talk of a larger bylaw review; I think this one’s important enough that
maybe we should deal with it separately,” said Bachrach before the vote, noting he was also concerned about leaving the site vacant.
“There’s a good, sound building there that has worked in a public use capacity for many years and people have co-existed together. Why now is the only use we could do for it is rip the thing flat and put up duplexes? That doesn’t make sense to me, there have to be other uses for it,” said Brienesse before the vote.
Most opposed to the rezoning did not have a problem with the CDC moving in, it was the possibility of a future sale years down the road for a different permitted use that concerned them.
P2, or public use two, had to be amended to allow the CDC to move in. It currently also allows cultural and recreational facilities, assisted living and retirement housing, schools, government offices, medical centres, and youth centres.
The Christian Reformed Church on Columbia will become the CDC’s new home

B.C. NDP leader visits Smithers
By Chris GareauSmithers/Interior News
John Horgan made his first visit to the Bulkley Valley since becoming opposition leader this spring.
The B.C. NDP leader visited with Wet’suwet’en leaders and Hy-Tech Drilling before sitting down at Stikine MLA Doug Donaldson’s office in Smithers.
Horgan said he saw a rejuvenation in Hy-Tech workers.
“It speaks well to Smithers as a place to put down roots and get involved in manufacturing of all things. People think of the
Northwest as resource extraction, tourism, not manufacturing,” said Horgan, who added that while he is against the Northern Gateway oil pipeline project, he does support LNG development and pipeline routes where locals want it.
“When pipeline proponents say ‘we can’t go that way, it will cost too much’, then I think you’re going to have to build that into your business model; because if the Wet’suwet’en, whose territory by title is theirs to determine the future of, if they don’t want your pipeline then you should find another place for your pipeline,” said Horgan, who also visited Hazelton later that day.

CFIB report on Telkwa spending includes B.C. programBy Kendra WongTelkwa/Interior News
A former Telkwa councillor is calling out the Canadian Federation of Independent Businesses, saying that a new report that they released analyzing municipal spending is based on misleading information.
The federation recently released its annual B.C. Municipal Spending Watch 2014 looking at how well municipalities across the province have been spending taxpayers’ money over the past 12 years.
In the report on increases in operating expenses, the Village of Telkwa was ranked the lowest in the Bulkley Valley at 138 out of 151 municipalities with a tax spending per capita of $1,881.
But Rimas Zitkauskas, former mayoral candidate, said the numbers the federation complied are not accurate.
“The figures in the 2014 report are inaccurate according to the operating budgets
that we filed for the years in questions,” he said, adding that when initially asked about the 2014 report, he answered in reference to the 2013 report. “The CFIB report said that our per capita operating spending is $1,881. A more accurate figure is about $1,236 in 2012, not $1,881.”
He noted the village collects roughly $1.2 million from taxpayers annually, and $625,000 from other levels of government.
“That spike in 2012 is obviously due to the inclusion of non-operating expenditures by the CFIB,” said Zitkauskas, noting that the 2014 operating budget per capita is lower than the 2013 numbers.
He also added that in 2012, the village was paid $900,000 from the province to clear vegetation in the area as part of the province’s Strategic Wildfire Prevention Initiative to fund Telkwa’s Community Wildfire Protection Plan.
According to Zitkauskas, no village money was put into the project, but said they were asked by the province to
include it in the annual report as part of their operating budget under protective services.
In 2011, the budget for protective services was $227,326, which then jumped to $1,078,710 in 2012, because of the $900,000 included from the province. The following year, the budget decreased back down to $384,995.
“We’re the one of the few communities that put our name forward to do [the program],” he said.
According to this year’s report, protective services costs were included after having been excluded in previous editions.
“Policing costs have been included in this year’s report,” said the report. “An implication of this inclusion is that this year’s report is not comparable to previous editions of the B.C. Municipal Spending Watch, since policing costs were excluded in previous editions.”
Operating costs include protective services, staff salaries, and anything that is not a capital — or physical building — project.
OCP concerns raised By Alicia Bridges Smithers/Interior News
Bulkley Valley residents took advantage of a public hearing last Monday to raise concerns over waterfront usage measures in the proposed Smithers Telkwa Official Community Plan.
A handful of residents gathered at the Old Church on Nov. 10 to comment on the land use plan, which is in the final stages of development.
Prepared by the Regional District of Bulkley-Nechako, the plan aims to provide direction for future land use planning and development by summarizing a vision for the area.
A perceived lack of measures to protect “riparian” or shoreline areas dominated discussion at the hearing, which was held for affected residents to provide input rather than ask questions.
Terry Stuart, who lives at Lake Kathlyn, was among those to voice their concerns over whether the plan offers enough protection for riparian areas.
The plan states that Lake Kathlyn, Tyhee Lake, Seymour Lake and Round Lake are at, or have exceeded, their capacity for development.
It recommends that rezoning applications for the creation of additional lake-front parcels should be discouraged.
Stuart said more protections
were needed to avoid development on blocks in the area surrounding Lake Kathlyn, and to enforce restrictions on land-use on existing waterfront lots.
“With regard to riparian area protection, apart from some feel-good statements in the plan such as we support the maintenance of greenbelts, there is precious little in the way of riparian area protection in this document,” said Stuart.
“That is doubly unfortunate because it is similarly absent in the zoning bylaw.
“Apart from a building setback, that is about the full extent of riparian area protection in either one of these documents.”
He said Bulkley-Nechako was one of the few jurisdictions in the province that did not “seriously” address riparian area protection.
Regional district director of planning Jason Llewellyn said there was a recommendation in the plan to approach Lake Kathlyn property owners about introducing a permit system for development in the area.
“Typically what a development permit area will do, we will set a set-back distance from the high water mark and any development in that area, including tree-cutting and soil disturbance, can’t be done without a permit through the regional district,” he said.
“The challenge with those for the regional district .. the most important one is the issues around enforcement..”
It’s that time of year again. Hockey fans are busy digging out hockey gear, getting skates sharpened and taping sticks — getting ready for the first puck drop of the season.
Unfortunately, hockey has a dark secret — one that’s more commonly associated with Major League Baseball. It’s a problem you can neither see, usually, nor smell. Organized hockey has a tobacco problem that has made its way into the sport — from children as young as 13 to NHL professionals. The problem is the use of chewing tobacco or snus.
The Sport Medicine and Science Council of Manitoba recently surveyed 2,000 athletes aged 12-21 regarding substance use. The survey found that 52 per cent of male hockey players used chewing tobacco or snus. By the age of 20, 75 per cent of Manitoba hockey players who took part in the survey reported that they had tried
“chew.”They also found that
youth in Grades 9-12 who participated in team sports had nearly double the risk of trying smokeless tobacco.
Another study by the Waterloo Sports Medicine Centre and University of Waterloo in 2010 found that smokeless tobacco use among Canadian hockey players appears to be common, with results comparable to similar studies in the U.S.
We’re all aware of the dangers associated with the use of smoking. However, I’d be willing to bet a bag of pucks that not many of us are aware of how many hockey players use smokeless tobacco. For hockey parents, this can be particularly troubling as the sport that they put their child in to keep them active and healthy could potentially lead to tobacco use.
But there are some things you can do about it:
If you’re a hockey parent, make sure that you talk to your children about tobacco. Be involved in the game and help out. Don’t just drop your child off in the dressing room and then head for the bleachers. Make sure you know what’s going on.
Coaches have a big influence on the players they work with. If you’re a coach, use that influence to send the message that tobacco and hockey don’t belong in the same arena.
If you’re a player, don’t use any form of tobacco. Whether you play in a fun recreational league or a highly competitive elite league, some young hockey player is probably looking up to you. To your children, you are the best player on the ice. Set the example for them.
Hockey organizations and municipalities can also develop, promote, and enforce tobacco-free policies that address tobacco use.
Tobacco-free policies send the message that hockey and tobacco don’t mix, but to be effective, they also need to be promoted and adhered to. That means everyone from the fans in the arena bleachers to the players on the dressing room bench has to be in the game.
Hockey is a great sport with a lot of benefits for those who play; we just need to work together to bench tobacco.
Information on tobacco-free sports, is at playlivebetobaccofree.ca. If you or someone you know wants to quit using tobacco, they can receive free counselling, information and support, visit www.quitnow.ca. Free nicotine replacement products are also available through provincial programs.

The CFIB Municipal Spending Watch re-ports are never provided directly to Telk-
wa. We usually receive them from the Union of BC Municipalities, with their comments a few months after the release.
CFIB’s website, as of this writing, only provides up to 2013 reports. In my original interview with Kendra Wong, she was provid-ed with access to the CFIB’s 2014 and I was referring and commenting on the 2013 report. Both of us made assumptions that we were on the same page.
(Thursday), Mayor Graf and myself spent time with the publisher, editor and reporter to clarify why the 2014 report showed such an abnormal jump in our expenditures. Working together, The Interior News calling the Prov-ince, and village staff and councillor’s review-ing our operating expenditures we found the anomaly. The 2012 year included $900,000 of 100 per cent grant funded expenses for our Fuel Mitigation and Fire Prescription Pro-gram.
Budget Year | Operating Expenses | Population2009 $1,530,406 1,3222010 $1,409,460 1,3532011 $1,695,197 1,3832012 $1,740,303 1,4322013 $1,692,259 1,471

CFIB reports are always produced with a two-year lag. So the 2013 budget year report will come out in 2015. As we can see, when we exclude the $900,000 provincially funded Fire Mitigation Plan, we actually see a gradual re-duction in the Village’s per capita spending. We expect that trend to continue, as we spread out our operating costs over a growing popu-lation base.

Uneasy at Site C wool over our eyes
Editor:
Re: B.C. business wel-comes Site C.
The various business folks wrote: “Site C can provide British Colombi-ans with...lower prices for residents...”
Omitted from their letter is that the vast bulk of the power generated by Site C will be used to drive massive pumps and refrigeration units for pro-posed B.C. LNG projects, and virtually none will be used for B.C. residential purposes.
Just thought that was important for BCers to know, and you can bet that folks in the various business associations would prefer to keep that under their hats when they slyly “suggest” BCers will be left with lower electrical prices thanks to Site C.
I get uneasy when businesses and business associations try to pull the wool over our eyes to gain their controversial objec-tives. Why not just be open and informative rather than deceptive?

Do fuel compa-nies have us over
a barrel?Editor:
Points to ponder: A few years ago when crude prices were +/- $120/bar-rel we’re paying $1.39 per litre. Now the crude barrel price is below $80 and dropping.
The price of fuel at the pumps in Smithers ($1.29 per litre) is at the high end in the province, and we do not have a transit tax tagged on!
Here are just a couple of examples: Alberta aver-age price $1.04 per litre; B.C. average price $1.22 per litre; Lower Mainland with the transit taxes $1.06 to $1.12 per litre; New-foundland $1.23 per litre.
Fuel companies have never had to apply for bailouts. They are re-cording huge profits as we speak.
Do they have us “over a barrel” so to speak? Are we being had? Just asking!

We have become jingoistic
Editor:
My grandfather was in the infantry in WWI and I saw the damage that experience had on him and all those around him. In my youth I worked for many years as a civilian in-structor with some of the finest soldiers one could ever know. These people and others like them have my lasting respect. And I am not a pacifist. What then would explain the growing discomfort I have been experiencing with wearing a poppy to show my respect? In Canada we have seen profound chang-es to our national char-acter. We have become a jingoistic and militarist ag-gressor in world conflicts when arguably we have no moral or legal right to be so. Since Afghanistan we see regular efforts by the Government of Canada
(aka the Harper govern-ment) to inject sophisti-cated marketing images into the lives of Canadians for the sole purpose, I submit, to desensitize us to our new role as a military aggressor and to boost a bogus nationalism in us that will never result in positive outcomes. Never has and never will. Think about the day-to-day pres-ence of things military in our lives, things as small as soldiers training where 10 years ago none would have been seen, or regular overflights by military aircraft, or the onslaught of military focused media or public events (think hockey games for one example). These are not random events but a shrewd marketing cam-paign designed to change who we are as a people and what we believe in. So while I will always have the utmost respect for our soldiers who rightly or wrongly place themselves
in harm’s way for our benefit, I cannot abide by the government’s inten-tional strategy to reshape who we are as Canadians. It will, in the end, come to no good. So next time you are called upon to support our troops, force yourself to think deeper and consider who might be trying to manipulate
you and your values.... And for what purpose. On reflection you might be quite surprised and disturbed about your con-clusions.

Income-splitting won’t help 85%
Editor:
The federal Conserva-tive government will forgo a surplus this year and instead borrow money to pay for income-splitting and other new tax mea-sures, according to its own fall economic update.
In the last two months the Conservatives an-nounced more than $3 billion in tax changes for this year, including an expensive income-splitting scheme. If they had fol-lowed the plan laid out by the late Jim Flaherty, the federal budget would have a small surplus this year instead of a $3 billion deficit.
Earlier this year, Mr. Flaherty called on the Conservatives to abandon their income-splitting scheme, saying “I think income-splitting needs a long, hard analytical look … to see who it affects and to what degree, because I’m not sure that overall, it benefits our society.”
He was right. The Con-servatives’ new income-splitting scheme (which they call “the Family Tax Cut”) won’t give a dime to more than 85 per cent of Canadian households. But it will cost Canadians $2.4 billion this year alone.
We don’t think it’s fair to ask middle class fami-lies to pay to give families like the Prime Minister’s a $2,000 tax break. A Liberal government would focus on helping the middle class instead.
The economic up-date also showed that the growth rate for the Canadian economy will slow down each and every year between 2015 and 2019--and that the recent Conservative tax measures will do nothing to turn it around. That’s not good enough. It’s time for the government to change course, focus on the economy, and start putting Canadian jobs and growth ahead of politics.

Roughly 70 figure skaters from around the Northwest descended on Smithers over the weekend for the first ever jamboree the local skating club has hosted.
Skaters from the Terrace, Hazelton, Prince Rupert, Vanderhoof and Houston figure skating clubs, among others, hit the ice for the third annual Northwest Jamboree at the Smithers Civic Centre on Saturday and Sunday.
“It was a huge success. The northwest area basically goes from Vanderhoof through to Prince Rupert. We had skaters from just about every community along the way,” said Tyler Dykens, head coach of the Smithers Figure Skating Club.
During the fun competition, skaters from all clubs were grouped into four teams: white, teal, purple and green.
They performed a variety of events including solo, creative and interpretive skates, as well as spins and field
movements. In the end, the purple
team glided into first, with the green team in second
and the white and teal teams in third and fourth.
Smithers club skaters in the winning group
included Adison Labonte and Kiara Elson.
According to Dykens, this was the first jamboree
the club has hosted in its history and the first competition they’ve held in a number of years.
“To be honest, it’s due to a lack of ice availability,” she said.
“But we’re fortunate that it worked out this year. It’s a big undertaking. Lots of commitments by parents and club executives.”
Even though it was a fun competition, Dykens said it gave roughly 16 girls from the club an opportunity to get back onto the ice.
“It was the first competition of our skating season. Everybody did really well,” she said.
Skaters also received
report cards evaluating their performance, which allowed them to see what they did well and what needs improvement.
“They get feedback from that and just kind of taking a look at the feedback and building on that,” said Dykens, adding they would consider hosting similar competitions in the future.
Last year, the competition was held in Prince Rupert.
The club’s first competition of the year is the first week of December.
“It was the � rst competition of our skating season. Everybody did
really well,”-Tyler Dykens

Saltos welcomes new head coachBy Kendra Wong Smithers/Interior News
The Saltos Gymnastics Club has welcomed a new face into its midst.
Henry Condor has been named the head coach of the club and started the position last week.
“I hope to bring my enthusiasm and passion about gymnastics,” he said in an email. “I want to create a strong, professional team of coaches, which will produce high-level athletes for B.C. and Canada.”
Condor has 18 years of coaching experience under his belt, having started gymnastics in a small town in the Ukraine when he was just seven years old.
But he admitted, he wasn’t quite sure what the sport entailed at first.
“My coach met me on the street on my way from the grocery store (I was carrying bread and milk),” said Condor. “He asked me [if] I like gymnastics. I answered ‘yes’, but frankly I had no idea what it was and I remembered how I called my mom’s work place and proudly said that I was invited to the gymnastics club. Since that day, I have really loved gymnastics.”
He moved to Canada 10 years ago and was living in the Lower Mainland with his wife and two kids prior to moving to northern B.C.
“When I was a kid, I watched a TV series called
Due South and was amazed by the personality of RCMP officers from Canada,” he said. “Later, I heard more and more good things about friendly Canadians . . . and of course, there was
no doubt for us to move to Canada.”
Condor made one of his first trips to Smithers earlier this month when he accompanied former Saltos head coach Alana Jensen to help with a training camp over the Thanksgiving weekend.
“He responded very well to the kids and the kids responded very well to him,” said the club’s Becky Stavast.
“He was very interactive with the kids and they liked him right away.”
He has already introduced new drills and training techniques.
“He’s going to bring lots of great gymnastics knowledge and skills,” said Stavast. “I think he’s going to be a good role model for our up and coming coaches.”
While Condor’s passion for the sport is clear, he said it’s the look on an athlete’s face after performing well that he enjoys the most.
“I feel proud when I see happy kids’ faces when they hold their gold medals on a podium,” he said.
Condor replaces Jensen who moved to Maple Ridge at the end of the summer to teach gymnastics at Flip City in Langley.

Little keeps Steelheads in gamesBy Kendra WongSmithers/Interior News
From a young age, David Little had shin pads and a goalie mask strapped to him and was thrown in front of a net.
“I have two brothers who are quite a bit older than I am,” said Little.
“They always needed a goalie to shoot on. Ever since I was three or four I had the pads strapped to me and was the target.”
Since then, Little has grown up playing minor league hockey right through to midget in Burns Lake.
For the last two seasons, the 19-year-old has suited up between the pipes for the Houston Luckies.
But since the Luckies couldn’t find enough players to ice a team, Little was left without one.
It was by chance that he stumbled upon an
opportunity to play for the Smithers Steelheads.
“I wasn’t planning on playing hockey at all this year,” said Little. “I’m mutual friends with Brendan deVries and they needed a goalie. But I’m definitely happy to be playing hockey again.”
The netminder has started four of five games the Steelheads have played with a save percentage of 0.885 and 138 saves in the season so far.
Though he has only
led the team to two victories, Little has faced a barrage of shots from opposing teams in all games played, seeing as many as 43 shots in a single night.
Head coach Tom DeVries said Little has exceeded his expectations.
“He’s been great. I remember him playing last year in Houston and I thought ‘let’s get him along’, but I didn’t know he was that good,” said DeVries.
Michael Wall,
a goalie with the Steelheads for two years who also played against Little in Houston, said the young player has adjusted well to his new team.
“It’s tough for a goaltender to come in like that, but I think he’s done well for the team, stepped up and made some big saves when they needed it,” said Wall.
“He’s a big goalie and covers the net well. The more he plays with our team, the more he
gets to know the guys, he’ll only get better.”
Little’s commitment is also a huge factor in general manager Kelly Zacharias wanting to keep him.
“We enjoy the commitment that he has because he lives in Burns Lake and can make the games,” said Zacharias. “His commitment is another key issue there for us.”
Being one of the many new faces on the team, Little said making the transition from one team to another has been easy.
“I felt pretty welcomed by the team, they’re a bunch of good guys. I just like being part of a team and playing with your buddies,” he said.
“I think Mike Wall is playing now so I’m probably going to spend a bit of time on the bench, which is alright. I’ll still be backing up or playing the odd Sunday game, hopefully.”
Burns Lake acquisition David Little has made 138 saves in just four games with the Smithers Steelheads this season.

Safety Tip:Intersections can be particularly dangerous for pedestrians, accounting for 75 per cent of all crashes involving pedestrians. During the darker fall and winter months, drivers should use extra caution near intersections
- watch out for pedestrians and help share our roads safely.

Move over Obama, make way for the HellcatWashington D.C. - The U.S. capital is an exciting place to be, with all those presidential comings and goings, and crowds gathering near the gates of the White House in the hope of catching a glimpse of the leader of the free world.But on a recent day, all the exciting action was happen-ing at Summit Point Raceway, about an hour and half away in neighbouring Virginia, where a smaller crowd of journalists got more than a glimpse of the new 2015 Dodge Charger Hellcat.
LooksThe first leg of the launch event was held at Ronald Reagan airport, in a hangar cleared to display the entire Charger lineup. They looked like colorful jellybeans scattered in different trim levels ranging from the base V6 model to the R/T models featuring a 5.7L V8, then to the SRT high performance 392 model, and the all-new, for 2015, Hellcat with 707 hp. The 2015 Charger gets an all-new exterior, the only holdover pieces are the roof and rear doors, and the rest is new, more aggressive, sleeker and muscular. The nose now has a less blunt look, with a slimmer headlight design that is meant to look like a bandit, wearing a mask. Each trim has different grille openings and in the case of the high horsepower Hellcat, all the air intakes, scoops and vents not only make the car look more menacing, but they all serve a function. The Charger has an aggressive stance but this is also a car that can blend into the crowd: it doesn’t need to scream at the top of its voice. That is left for the engine to do.
InsideWhen the last version of the Charger was refreshed, the focus was on updating the dash to improve the feel of the materials and the overall finish. The 2015 model takes things up a notch, with even more technology and improved style. The dash is covered with an aluminum
fascia, which has not migrated to the shifter surround. The shifter too has been updated to a T-style that re-minds older drivers of the Chargers sold in the original muscle car era. The steering wheel is new and has up-dated switches to control two new screens in the dash. They include a base 5-inch screen in the console or optional 8.4-inch version, plus a standard programma-ble screen in the instrument cluster for a quick glance
when driving. The high performance SRT models get a steering wheel with a flat bottom and heavily bolstered seats for track-ready driving. The real story is that this isn’t a track car, rather a solid family 4-door with room for all passengers.DriveOn the way to the racetrack, I drove the ($39,495) R/T, Hemi-equipped Charger over highways and some backcountry roads. This new model has a much more grownup feel and is a fantastic long road trip machine. Passing is a snap but the Charger was happiest at about 130km/h, maybe thanks to an all-new 8-speed automatic on all trim levels. Greeting us at the track were 5.7L Hemi cars, the 6.4L V8 Scat Pack model and the new Hellcat with a 6.2L V8 and with a big supercharger bolted on. This engine has 90 per cent of the parts
upgraded from the regular engines and each one is put on a 40-minute dyno test before being shipped to the customer. When the supercharger is up to full capacity, this engine will gulp 13,000 litres of air in one minute. I had a chance to drive all the models starting with the least powerful 5.7L with 370hp, then the 485HP 6.4L and continuing the rest of the day with the 707hp Hellcat. Each is very capable on the track but the Hellcat is so much more car, capable of a run to 100km/h in less than 4 second and it can stop with just as much viciousness. The impressive thing is just how easy this monster is to
drive. It needs to be treated with respect but getting on the power or the brakes is very smooth and effortless. The sound from the screaming engine, the Pirelli P-Zero tires squealing under acceleration or diving into each corner was a sensory overload. After dozens of laps around the track with a top speed of 230km/h down the straight, this car is nothing short of amazing. Every-thing else just feels slow.VerdictThe average buyer will still opt for the ($32,495) V6-equipped cars sold with a solid 300 hp going to the rear wheels or all wheels, the V8-equipped cars are not offered with AWD any longer. The most amazing, but unspectacular part of the trip was driving the Hellcat back to Washington, D.C. through heavy traffic on the highway and downtown core. As we pulled up the W Hotel, just a block from the Whitehouse, the 707 hp Hellcat returned 9.9L/100km. Nothing short of amazing considering the cars output, but it might come down to the 411 lb.-ft. the engine puts out at just 1,200 rpm, allowing it to loaf along effortlessly. This and the $64,495 price tag will get a lot of car fans sitting up and paying attention; the world’s fastest four-door family car is an amazing engineering marvel and the price is as jaw-dropping as the car itself.The LowdownPower: 707 hp from a supercharged 6.2L V8Sticker price: $32,496-$64,[email protected]

Nissan has announced its new partnership with Adam Levine, lead singer of Maroon 5 and coach on NBC’s Emmy Award winning “The Voice”. The partnership marks an ex-pansion of the automaker’s existing multi-season sponsor-ship of the show. New program elements include a series of on-air vignettes featuring Adam Levine and several season seven contestants in video segments.
The first vignette, debuting during the Nov. 18 episode of “The Voice,” will feature Adam Levine giving viewers their first chance to hear a live rendition of “SUGAR” from the new Maroon 5 “V” album while driving Nissan’s 545-horsepower supercar, the GT-R. View online at NBC.com/Nissan from Nov. 18. The remaining vignettes featur-ing season seven artistes, will air on Nov. 25 and Dec. [email protected]

With the nights getting longer and the dark grey days ahead, anybody venturing out to do a little four wheeling will tell you good off-road lighting is a must. Make sure you only operate them off-road. Good quality wiring of a set of off-road lights is important when install-ing them on your truck, SUV or 4x4.Simply running a power and ground may work but is not the correct way to wire them. Most off-road lights draw a lot of power when switching them on, and this load should never be applied directly to the switch. Using a relay for the switching duties will save your switch and lights as well as make for a safer installation. Relays are easy to install and some lights come with them, but if not, you can pick up a relay from your local auto parts store. Install a switch in the cab of your truck in a location that is convenient for you to reach, or tap into the high-beam circuit of the headlights to power the relay. Mount the relay inside the cab, under the dash or other location out of the way and out of the elements. Run a wire from the battery or other positive source to the switch. This is the positive feed to switch the relay on. You will also need to run a ground wire to the switch from the frame or other ground then run a positive feed wire from the battery to the positive in position on the relay. There will be four connectors on the relay, a positive, a negative, a positive out and a posi-tive in from the battery. Read the packaging or directions to determine which is which. Find the ground position on the relay and run a wire from it to a good ground on the chassis of the vehicle. Anywhere on the frame or other metal structure of the vehicle will normally produce a decent ground. Run a section of wire from the switch output to the switched power input on the relay. Again, this will be marked or identified on the directions that came with your relay.
Run the last wire from
the relay positive out position to the lights and connect it to the positive feed on the lights. Ground the lights by attaching the black or ground wire to the frame or other ground on the truck. HID lights have be-come more popular with off-roaders these days. Installation is a little more work. But the principles remain the same. Be sure to follow the instructions provided in the kit. HID stands for High intensity discharge which refers to a new technology that relies on an electrical charge to light the xenon gas con-tained in a sealed bulb. Unlike the halogen bulb, the HID bulb does not have a filament, because there is no filament the bulbs are not suscepti-ble to vehicle vibration damaged. There are however effected by and fluctuations in the ve-hicles electrical system and depending on the vehicle they may require some resistors. The HID bulb creates light by bridging an arc between two electrodes, instead of heating a fila-ment. This light is similar to the energy transfer when lightning strikes. The arc stimulates the xenon gases producing bright white beam of light. The next wave of off-road lighting tech-nology is LED. Rigid is a leader in this technolo-gy. Low amperage and superior light projecting forward is why most off-road racers are switch to this type of light. Check them out at [email protected]

Shelter seeks donations for hungry cubs
Dash replaces Relay for Life after decline in numbers
By Kendra WongSmithers/Interior News
The Northern Lights Wildlife Society is looking for food donations to help feed 30 orphaned cubs before they go into hibernation for the winter.
The 26 black bear cubs and four grizzly bear cubs, which come from around the province, are underweight and need sustenance.
“Most of them came in late this fall and they’re underweight so they won’t be able to hibernate,” said Angelika Langen, owner of the shelter.
“It’s a little bit of an unusual situation for us; Usually, we get cubs earlier in the year and about half the group is asleep around this time of year.”
She said they only have eight cubs that are the appropriate
weight to go into hibernation, but the rest will need to be fed daily.
A bear’s staple diet includes almost any kind of fruit and vegetable, fish, meat and grains in pellet forms.
“With the colder temperatures and them being underweight, they’re ravenously hungry. We’re putting a lot of stuff in there and they’re eating it . . . We will be needing a lot more food
throughout the winter than we usually do,” she said, adding that each cub will need roughly 15 pounds of fruit or vegetables a day.
A normal grizzly cub weighs between 70-100 pounds, while
black bears will weigh between 50-70 pounds; but some of the cubs in the shelter weigh as little as 17 pounds.
On average, the shelter cares for 20 cubs over the winter, with just 10 in
residence last year.However, this
season they have a high number of cubs to feed, something Langen attributes to a poor food crop and mother bears being killed in motor vehicle accidents.
“The animals came closer to humans because humans typically settle in areas where there’s a nice setting of nature, which means it’s good water and good food supply so the bears travel there to find their food supply,” said Langen.
“We have a really high number of bear moms killed this year in car accidents. Two of the grizzly bears we have the mom got hit by a vehicle and several of the black bears as well. It’s been really common this year.”
After hibernation, the bears will be released into the wild where they came from in June or July.
In the meantime, Langen said they are looking for any food donations of fruit vegetables, fish or meat.
Monetary donations can also be made at www.wildlifeshelter.com.
There are 26 black bear cubs and four grizzly bear cubs currently in residence at the Northern Lights Wildlife Society that need to be fed. The society is asking for donations of fruits, vegetables, � sh and meat to help nourish the bears.

A 40 per cent decline in the number of people running the Relay for Life in Smithers has prompted the local Canadian Cancer Society (CCS) to downsize with a new event called the Daffodil Dash in 2015.
Relay for Life has been held in the Bulkley Valley since 2002 however participation has dropped in the past three years.
As a result, the Smithers unit has created a new, smaller event called the Daffodil Dash to encourage greater
community involvement. CCS unit president Debbie Courtliff
said the Daffodil Dash would require less volunteer output than the relay, which was a 12 hour event.
“[The relay] was not a set distance but someone on your team would be on the track for the 12 hours,” said Courtliff.
“The new event is a distance event, with choices of 2 km, 5 km and 10 km.
“It is inclusive so people can walk, run and bike their choice of distance.”
Organizers also hope to incorporate a survivor’s luncheon and possibly a silent auction or barbeque.
Scheduled for April to coincide with
Daffodil Month, the dash will replace the relay as the main fundraising event for the CCS in Smithers.
Money raised from the events goes towards research, prevention education and support for one of five cancer society lodges that house and feed cancer patients while they are receiving treatment in major centres.
A CCS committee meeting will be held at the Healthy Living Centre this month.
For more information about how to get involved, or to provide planning input, contact the society office by calling 250-847-0230 or emailing [email protected].

Environmental Assessment of the Proposed
Kemess Underground Project
Invitation to Comment
AuRico Gold Inc. (Proponent) is proposing to construct and operate an underground gold and copper mine (proposed Project) in north central British Columbia, approximately 6.5 km north of the past producing Kemess South (KS) Mine. The proposed Project would include extraction of up to nine million tonnes of gold/copper ore per year. The proposed Project would make use of the existing KS infrastructure including the mill and the KS open pit for the tailings & waste rock storage facility for the proposed Project. The proposed Project is subject to review under British Columbia’s Environmental Assessment Act and is also undergoing a substituted environmental assessment under the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act. The Proponent must obtain an environmental assessment certificate before any work can be undertaken on the proposed Project. However, prior to submission of an application (Application) for a certificate by the Proponent, Environmental Assessment Office of British Columbia (EAO) must first approve Application Information Requirements. Key to the Application Information Requirements is the identification of Valued Components to be studied and the areas with in which the studies would occur. This is done through the Valued Component Selection Document which EAO has now received and invites comments on. There are 37 days for the submission of comments by the public in relation to Valued Component Selection Document. The comment period will begin on November 26, 2014 and end on January 2, 2015. All comments received during this comment period in relation to the Valued Component Selection Document will be considered. The intention of seeking public comments is to ensure that all potential effects – environmental, economic, social, heritage and health – that might result from the proposed Project are identified for consideration as part of the assessment process. At this stage of the process, the primary intent is to receive
feedback about the studies or information required for a comprehensive environmental assessment. After taking public comments into account, EAO will finalize the Valued Component Selection Document for incorporation into the Application for an Environmental Assessment Certificate. EAO accepts public comments through the following ways: • By Online Form at
http://www.eao.gov.bc.ca • By Mail:

Air quality advisory and burning
restrictions issuedBy Chris GareauSmithers/Interior News
The first air quality advisory of the winter season was issued last week by the Ministry of Environment and the Northern Health Authority.
The advisory came with open burning restrictions for Smithers, Telkwa, Houston, Burns Lake and surrounding areas.
“This is the first advisory related to wood smoke, which is the primary culprit. There’s also road dust as part of the particulate matter,” said Barry Watson, air quality meteorologist for the B.C. Ministry of Environment.
Smoke was trapped with no mixing of the air under a high pressure system according to Watson, who added that most of the smoke around Smithers was likely not from industrial slash pile burning.
“That would have been illegal because the venting index has not been what you need: good and fair... those conditions have not
existed for a little while, so people shouldn’t be lighting up a fire,” said Watson.
The geography of the valley means this likely won’t be the last advisory this winter. Watson said he has more precise instrumentation to capture particulate matter, so there is potential for more advisories than in the past.
“That of course depends on the weather and how people mange their wood stoves primarily,” said Watson.
During advisories, people with chronic underlying medical conditions should postpone strenuous exercise until they are lifted.
No new fires may be initiated and no additional material may be added to existing fires while advisories are in effect. Smithers and Telkwa clean air bylaws also prohibit the use of wood-burning appliances when under an advisory, except for sole wood burning heat users.
Air quality information can be found at bcairquality.ca.
Rebates offered to trade in old wood stovesBy Jackie LieuwenHouston Today
The B.C. government gave $10,450 to boost the Wood Stove Exchange Program.
Run by the Bulkley Valley Lakes District Airshed Management Society, the program is to encourage residents to replace old wood stoves with cleaner burning models.
The funding from the B.C. government gives residents a $250 rebate on the purchase of any new certified domestic solid fuel burning device or high efficiency appliance. That includes gas, propane, pellet or electric stoves.
“Replacing an old wood stove with a more environmentally friendly model through the Wood
Stove Exchange Program is a practical and effective way to reduce emissions,” said Nechako Lakes MLA John Rustad.
By exchanging stoves, “families in our community will help improve air quality in our community,” he added.
New emissions-certified wood stoves burn one-third less wood and reduce smoke and particulates entering the atmosphere by up to 90 per cent.
This year $190,000 is being provided to 13 communities though the Wood Stove Exchange Program. Since it was launched in 2008, over $2.3 million has been provided to purchase over 6,000 cleaner burning models, equating to a reduction of more than 370 tonnes of particulate matter being pumped into the air.

Kimberley’s Kitchen looking to expandBy Kendra WongTelkwa/Interior News
Walking into Kimberley Mulla’s kitchen in Telkwa, it looks like a scene out of a cooking show.
The colours are warm and vibrant, there is a pristine white bookshelf with methodically placed cookbooks and pottery, and there is the slight smell of indescribable sweetness in the air.
Mulla is the owner and operator of Kimberley’s Kitchen.
She makes a variety of artisan confections such as brittle and gourmet marshmallows in flavours such as vanilla bean, strawberry, peppermint, pumpkin spice, and a year-round favourite, chai.
Mulla hand-makes all treats with organic fair trade chocolate, vanilla beans, coffee and local ingredients.
“It feels nice to make something that’s a part of people’s lives in such a positive way. Adding something sweet and delightful to people’s every day is very meaningful and the actual crafting of it is a lot of fun,” she said.
Mulla started the business four years ago when she was on maternity leave in the Lower Mainland, and eventually settled with her family in Telkwa in 2011.
Over the years, she has experimented with many recipes before eventually perfecting the product she sells today.
“The marshmallows really took off because
I embraced the ability to create seasonal marshmallows. My first season I probably produced 20 different flavours and from that point on set a dangerous precedent to constantly come up with new ideas,” she
laughed. Mulla has crafted
and sold her sugary treats from a rented kitchen in the village and through her online store to people all around Canada.
Angela Souter has tried the
marshmallows at events, but this was her first time buying a batch at the Smithers Farmers’ Market last weekend.
“We think they’re delicious, we love that they’re homemade,” said Souter, whose
daughters each bought the peppermint and vanilla bean flavours.
Leanne Perry, a food blogger in Vancouver, has been a fan of Mulla’s marshmallows for years.
“They’re amazing. Marshmallows can be tricky to make sometimes, they turn out too light or too dense,” said Perry. “Once I tried them, it was like a whole new world. The flavours are amazing.”
Now, Mulla is looking for a larger space to make her marshmallows.
She recently launched a kickstarter campaign to build a certified commercial kitchen in the basement of her home.
Kickstarter campaigns are online funding platforms
where anyone can donate to a cause.
Through the campaign, she hopes to raise $5,700 by Dec. 7.
Pledges will be used to purchase appliances and furnishings, and pay for trades people to renovate the space for the kitchen.
If all goes according to plan, construction will begin in January.
“In order to be able to ramp up production, I need to be able to work and have availability to a kitchen whenever I can work,” she said, adding that she would one day like to expand her business to a store-front.
For more information on the campaign, visit www.kimberleyskitchen.com.

People in Smithers are coming together to help raise money to send a boy and his sister to Chile to say a final goodbye to their late grandmother.
Eighteen-year-old Satsi and her 16-year-old brother Nenli Naziel currently live in Prince George and attend Prince George Secondary School.
Their mother recently travelled back to Temuco, Chile to spend time with her mother who was diagnosed with terminal cancer.
“They met [their grandmother] when
they were quite small, but they were able to Skype with her quite a few times in recent years,” said their father Warner.
Unfortunately, she passed away recently.
“It’s been really hard on a lot of people because their grandmother had come up here a few years ago when Satsi was born. She spent about a month here and got really close with a lot of family members,” said Warner.
Since then, family members in Smithers have organized a series of events to raise enough money to send the duo back to Chile.
“Their grandmother had hoped to see her grandchildren and that was one of
her final wishes,” said Lillian Wilson, a family member. “As a way to honour her wishes, we’re still doing the fundraiser, the kids are still going to Chile so they can spend some time with their other relatives and get their closure from their grandmother’s passing.”
Roughly two dozen people attended a concert at the Old Church organized by Nenli’s relatives Sa-yez and Simb’iyez Wilson, two weeks ago.
“We’ve had a lot of donations even before the event happened. There have been a lot of supportive people,” said Simb’iyez
The next day, a breakfast and craft fair was held in Moricetown as well.
“They’re both honour roll students, they’re on the principal’s list. They just need help to get to Chile,” said Lillian.
So far, they have raised $1,000 from the concert and roughly $600 from the breakfast and craft fair.
There was also an online Facebook auction where people bid on items such as paintings, jewelry, a Trevor Linden jersey, clothing and accessories.
Warner said he was deeply touched by the outpouring from the community to help his family during such an emotional time. “It’s really touching, it’s amazing,” he said. “If there was something more than ‘thank you’, I would use them right now. I’m really touched by it.”

TD scholarships up for grabsBy Kendra WongSmithers/Interior News
Jasmine Tehara lived in a different Smithers in the early 1990s than what is known today.
“In Smithers Secondary School, we had pretty significant issues around diversity or racism,” said Tehara, noting that there was not a large population of south Asian or Chinese people living in the area.
“We had issues at school and it was something that I cared about deeply. Everyone wants to have a feeling of belonging and wants to know they have a place.”
In an effort to make students of different ethnicities feel more at home, Tehara organized a weekend-long multicultural camp where students talked through their issues and figured out ways to solve them.
Her drive to start the club helped earn
her a TD Scholarship for Community Leadership in 1997.
Tehara went on to receive an Honours Bachelor of Arts in Applied Economics and Political Studies from Queen’s University.
Currently, she works at TD Bank Group as the vice president of HR shared services in Toronto.
The scholarship program is celebrating its 20th anniversary, and Tehara was the only person from northern B.C. to be selected as one of the 20 faces of the program.
“There are over 350 scholars and it’s hard to believe that I was in the early years,” she said. “To think that I was selected among the group of 20 is hugely flattering.”
Jane Thompson, executive director of the scholarship program, said Tehara is an excellent role model.
“It’s a rare person like Jasmine who steps up and says
‘okay, I can do something about this,’ and actually create change,” said Thompson.
“She showed a lot of sophistication in her ability to do stuff coming from a very small town.”
Applications are now open for the TD Scholarships for Community Leadership Program. Each of the 20
scholarships is valued at up to $70,000.
Students must be in their final year of high school and be able to demonstrate a consistent effort to better their community.
For more information or to apply, visit www.td.com/scholarship.
The deadline to apply is Friday, Nov. 28.

A & EFour years ago it was
Handel’s Messiah, two years ago it was Vivaldi’s Gloria and Magnificat, and this year it is Howard Goodall.
The Bulkley Valley Classical Strings and the Community Choir are at it again, busy since September with rehearsals to prepare a concert scheduled for the Dec. 5 weekend.
But who is Howard Goodall?“Goodall is a contemporary
British composer of choral work,” said Laura Hols-Wimbush, conductor of the string orchestra.
“A friend sent me a recording of his work and when Sharon [Carrington] and I listened to it, we both knew that’s what we wanted to do.”
The concert will feature two of Goodall’s works.
The first, Enchanted Carols, is just that: a selection of joyful Christmas carols, familiar tunes in new arrangements by Goodall.
The First Nowell, O Little Town of Bethlehem, and In Dulci Jubilo are just three of them.
This work is for female voices only and features many local soloists. It is accompanied by a chamber orchestra.
The second work by Goodall is Eternal Light: A Requiem.
This might seem like an odd choice for a Christmas concert, since a requiem is traditionally recognized as a piece of music written following the death of a major figure such as a king or
queen. Goodall saw it differently.
He focuses instead on ordinary people who are left behind to grieve following the loss of a loved one.
Recognizing the restorative power of music, he created arrangements for words that are meant to comfort and offer hope.
Christmas can be a difficult
time for those experiencing this kind of loss, and Eternal Light is being performed to offer, in Goodall’s words, “some solace for the living that mourn.”
Eternal Light is being
performed by the choir, soloists and orchestra, all residents of the area spanning from Houston to Hazelton.
It is being directed by Sharon Carrington with Hols-Wimbush as concertmaster.
The evening’s performance includes two concertos, a concerto being defined as a composition for solo instrument(s) accompanied by orchestra.
Opening the evening will be the Allegro from Vivaldi’concerto for flute and violin in G major, featuring Toby Moisey on flute and Kiri Daust on violin. Moisey has recently returned to the valley after completing a Masters degree at the St. Petersburg Conservatory.
Violinist Daust is well-known in the Smithers area, having been featured in many local performances.
Later on in the program Handel’s organ concerto #2 in B flat will feature Alfred Lakowski on the splendid pipe organ in the Canadian Reformed Church.
Tickets for the Dec. 4, 5, and 6 concerts are available at Mountain Eagle Books and Interior Stationery in Smithers, and at CountryWide Printing and Stationery in Houston.
Performances start at 7:30 p.m. at the Canadian Reformed Church, 2788 Upper Viewmount Rd., Smithers.

Repeat victory for incumbent mayor Lowry By Alicia BridgesHazeltons/Interior News
Incumbent Mayor Gail Lowry will lead the District of New Hazelton for a second term after she was re-elected in a landslide victory against challenger Rob Henwood at Saturday’s B.C. municipal election.
In a repeat of the 2011 election result, when Lowry received 111 votes to Henwood’s 31, the incumbent was re-elected with a substantial lead of 95 votes to the challenger’s 18.
Lowry waited for the result at the New Hazelton Meeting Centre, where votes were counted after polling closed at 8 p.m.
She said she was pleased she would have the opportunity to continue working on projects and initiatives she was passionate about.
“I’d love to see more businesses come into town, I would really like to see that, and from there everything kind of falls as well,” she said.
“(Plans for a new Upper Skeena Arena), that’s probably our biggest thing that we are doing right now, it’s our big push.
“Ever since I’ve been mayor we’ve been working on it, going down to Victoria, meeting with ministers, every time we go to UBCM we bring it up.”
A total 113 votes were cast from an estimated 403 eligible voters. Voter turnout dropped significantly in 2014, with about 28 per cent of eligible
voters placing ballots compared with approximately 37 per cent in 2011. Mayor Lowry said she was disappointed only 113 of 403 eligible voters turned out
on the day. “I was disappointed that it wasn’t higher ... but having said that people did come to
vote and that’s the main thing,” she said. Councillors Janet Willson, Ray Sturney, Braunwyn Henwood, George Burns, Peter
Newbery and Mike Weeber were returned by acclamation. The Village of Hazelton Mayor Alice Maitland and councillors Wendy Blackstock,
Shirly Muldon, Buddy Smith and Nick Marshall were also acclaimed.

Horgan talks funding during Hazeltons visit
A Ken Trombley Memorial Arena employee shows BC NDP leader John Horgan some of the problems with the existing ice arena during the opposition leader’s tour of the Bulkley Valley last Wednesday.

Social issues in the Hazeltons and the planned Upper Skeena Arena were the main topics discussed when John Horgan toured the villages last week for the first time since he became leader of the BC NDP in May.
Horgan last visited the Hazeltons when he was still the party’s energy critic to gather information about the Enbridge Northern Gateway Pipeline.
This time around, the leader shifted his focus to social support services and community projects.
After spending the morning in Smithers, Horgan and Stikine MLA Doug Donaldson met with a group of social support workers at the Storytellers’ Foundation in Old Hazelton.
The foundation is a
literacy organization with a wider focus on empowering the community and reducing poverty in the Hazeltons.
Storytellers’ community organizer Sarah Panofsky told Horgan about the work the Foundation was doing to tackle issues surrounding domestic violence, abuse.
“As you can see around the table there [are] so many strong community members, especially strong women, who have gone through the cycle of violence themselves and come out the other side or just people who are matriarchs and central to their communities,” said Panofsky.
“[They] are saying, ‘this is enough, we need to give voice to what we are seeing and hearing in our communities and we’ve had enough and we are going to put a stop to this’.”
Some of the women
at the group opened up to Horgan about their own experiences with violence and substance abuse.
They also highlighted the disparity between the type of social support resources available in the Lower Mainland and those in the Hazeltons, where they said more services were needed.
Horgan said he was moved by the stories and raw honesty of the women at the meeting.
He said he would advocate for the government to provide more small grants for organizations like Storytellers’ in isolated communities like the Hazeltons, where he said a small amount of money could make a big difference.
“Basic things like coordination grants, just $5,000, $10,000 $20,000, can go a great distance in a small community,” Horgan said.

A Hazelton woman has helped return Mark Jirik’s (second from left) $3000 bike that was stolen near Terrace last year during a charity ride. The Chicago cyclist had given up hope of finding the bike.

A Chicago man has expressed his disbelief and gratitude after a Hazelton woman helped return his bike that was stolen near Terrace during a charity ride last year.
Mark Jirik and Nate Prescott were cycling from Alaska to Argentina last August to raise money for the Erie Neighbourhood House in Chicago.
One month into their 14-month trip, Jirik’s
$3,000 custom-made, long-haul touring bike was stolen while he slept at a campsite about 30 kilometres from Terrace.
In the days after the bike was stolen, Jirik wrote of his dismay in a post on his blog.
“One month into this trip of a year-plus in the planning, with 14 more months to go and thousands more miles to ride, and I’m left stranded, bike-less at a rest area in Canada,” wrote Jirik.
“I panicked, I screamed, and then, overwrought with emotion, I couldn’t stand up any longer and I sat down on the verge of tears.”

Mark Jirik carries a replacement bike over a washed out road near Columbia on the South American leg of his charity ride from Alaska to Argentina.
Contributed photo
Jirik and Prescott’s spirits were lifted when Paul Bertrand and Bruce Martindale from the McBike sport shop in Terrace, which is now called Wild Bike and Backcountry, offered to help the cyclists build a new bike.
Using spare parts from the basement, the cyclists and the shop staff spent two nights building “Fannie the Frankenbike”, which carried Jirik as far as Seattle.
Jirik was able to claim insurance to cover most of the cost of the original bike, a Surly Long Haul Trucker outfitted with racks on the front and back and custom-built 48 spoke-hubs.
The rest of Jirik’s trip, down the pacific coast and into South America, was completed on a near-replica replacement bike.
The cyclists parted ways in Mexico City and Jirik travelled as far south as Quito, Ecuador.
With his budget running low, he decided to end the trip early and return to Chicago.
He and Prescott raised a total of about $3,000.
Last month, more than a year after the bike was stolen, Jirik received an email from Hazelton woman Fabienne Calvert Filteau.
She had purchased the long-haul touring bicycle, her “dream bike” from a classified advertisement in the Hazeltons for $150.
When Calvert Filteau showed it to her friend Shawn Clarke, a bike enthusiast who used to work at the McBike and Sport shop Smithers, he was quiet at first.
“I told him the story and he kind of looked at me and said ‘hmm’ and did some research,” said Calvert Filteau.
“He sent me the [newspaper] articles from the previous summer when the bike had been stolen ...
for me at that point it was a no-brainer.
“I’ve had bikes stolen ... and it’s so heartbreaking. It feels like such a violation.”
Calvert Filteau tried to make contact with Jirik through bike shops in Chicago and Terrace.
She said when she reached him by email he was shocked.
“He just kind of said that this was yet another step in a long line of amazing things that had happened in the fallout of losing the bicycle,” she said.
Jirik recalls being in disbelief, and then overjoyed, when he received her message.
He said it was acts of kindness by total strangers like Calvert Filteau that made his trip truly memorable.
“To be back home and all of a sudden experience yet another good deed totally out of the blue ... I couldn’t believe I had the good fortune,” said Jirik.
“I remember reading Fabienne’s email and then this stupid big smile overtook my face for the rest of the day.”
Jirik paid Calvert Filteau back the $150 she spent on the bike and she arranged for it to be sent back to Chicago via Bruce Martindale from the Terrace bike shop.
He said he could not thank Calvert Filteau, (her partner) Greg Horne and Martindale enough.
“For Fabienne and Greg to purchase the bike, to have the sense it was stolen, to actually look into it, to find me, contact me and offer to return it, it’s amazing,” he said.
“And Bruce not only helped facilitate our contact but also disassembled, boxed and coordinated the shipping of the bike too.
“I consider myself very lucky to have inadvertently crossed paths with these folks.”

It was a close race for the seat of Electoral Area B director with the Regional District of Kitimat-Stikine,.
Just 25 votes separated the winner, incumbent Linda Pierre, and the losing candidate Dean Paranich.
Pierre, who received 165 votes to Paranich’s 140, said she was thrilled with the result.
She said she ran an educational campaign because some First Nations voters within the regional district were not aware they could vote, or what the district does.
“When I went around to the different villages too, what I did was talk to the band councils and the health clinics and tell them about the function of the regional district and hope they would be able to pass it on,” said Pierre.
She said in her second term she hoped to encourage more involvement from different communities.
Her priorities included the
development of the planned Upper Skeena Arena and the work of the Resource Benefits Alliance.
“[Through the alliance] we are negotiating for a percentage of the profits from some of these resource developments so that we can share a legacy rather than [be subject to] the boom and bust cycle,” said Pierre.
Shar McRory was elected trustee of the Coast Mountain School District 82 Electoral Area 5 (Hazelton) with 333 votes, defeating Larry Joseph who received 88.
McCrory was elated when she heard the news at home, where she had been watching the results with her family.
After she is sworn in, she said one of the first steps would be to speak with the outgoing trustee Lynn Newbery and prepare for upcoming consultations.
“We have some very important changes or proposed changes going on in the Upper Skeena region and I want to be involved with the consultation process with that,” she said.

Hundreds of people braved the sub-zero temperatures to pay their Remembrance Day respects at Old Hazelton last Tuesday in a ceremony that made special tribute to soldiers killed in Ottawa and Quebec last month.
With poppies worn over their hearts, a big crowd gathered near the cenotaph at Bastion Park for the ceremony and parade on the banks of the Skeena River.
Members of the RCMP and Scouts Canada marched from the Village of Hazelton office to the cenotaph, where they were met with the solemn sounds of the bugle playing The Last Post.
In addition to the minute’s silence and the singing of O Canada and God Save The Queen, the ceremony also included a number of recitals and sermons.
Reverend Bart Metcalf, one of several church leaders who
addressed the crowd, said this year’s Remembrance Day was especially significant after the fatal attacks on Canadian soldiers Cpl. Nathan Cirillo and Warrant Officer Patrice Vincent in Ottawa and Quebec last month.
“On this special Remembrance Day let us not fail to remember those who stood in the way of hatred and violence, who gave so sacrificially of themselves in order that we might have the freedoms we so richly enjoy today,” he said.
After the sermons, Gitxsan women performed an honorary song before the laying of the wreaths took place.
District of New Hazelton Mayor Gail Lowry and Stikine MLA Doug Donaldson were among those who laid wreaths.
RCMP officers also removed the poppies from their hats and placed them at the cenotaph.
After the ceremony, Gitxsan drummers provided entertainment at a public gathering at the St. Peter’s Anglican Church Hall.
Hazelton residents gather to remember
Scouts march proudly to the cenotaph to lay their wreath last Tuesday.

“Little amounts of money in smaller communities can go a long, long way.”
Horgan said his role was to push the government to recognize that they have a responsibility to all B.C.
residents, even in rural areas. “Talking about the arena is a
good example of that as well,” he said.
“We have a $44-billion budget and this community is asking for $4-million that they can leverage into so much more, not just the physical infrastructure but the health and safety and wellbeing of young people as they are growing here.”
Horgan and Donaldson met
with members of the Skeena Ice Arena Association and Village of Hazelton Mayor Alice Maitland.
The association members explained to Horgan their difficulties securing funding from government at various levels.
The opposition leader agreed with Donaldson’s statement at the meeting that the arena was the most important new
infrastructure in the Stikine electorate.
He told the members he would investigate non-traditional funding opportunities, such as infrastructure grants traditionally reserved for structures like roads and bridges.
“[I will be] talking to the government whenever I get the opportunity,” he said.
“They have historically not
funded recreational facilities with infrastructure grants, it’s usually roadways, bridges, that sort of thing [but] I think we need to open up the envelope.
“There is so much need in communities and it is not just about double-lining a highway or painting new lines or making a bikeway, there is physical infrastructure that leads to social and economic activity as well and an arena.”

Docherty wins literacy award Storytellers’ Foundation executive director
Anne Docherty has been recognized for her work rebuilding literacy in the Hazeltons with the 2014 Council of the Federation of Literacy Award for B.C.
Docherty was honoured for her work developing community literacy with the Gitxsan First Nation through storytelling and other Aboriginal traditions.
Education Minister Peter Fassbender congratulated Docherty for expanding
the public’s understanding of how literacy and learning contributes to the health of a community.
“She has reminded us how important it is to respond to the unique nature of our communities if we are to be truly effective,” said Fassbender.
Premier Christy Clark said Docherty had worked tirelessly to spark literacy by finding, celebrating and sharing the stories of those who live in the Upper Skeena.
