Highway speed limits, tires reviewed

The B.C. govern-ment is inviting pub-lic input on changes to speed limits on rural highways and winter tire require-ments.

Transportation Minister Todd Stone said it’s been more than a decade since speed limits were reviewed, and in that time the ministry has invested $14 billion in highway improve-ments. The review is to make changes based on citizen and expert input about long stretches of highway between communities, Stone said.

The review will also look at requir-ing snow tires with the snowflake or “M&S” (“mud and snow”) tires with sufficient tread on 80 sections of B.C. highways with winter conditions. Tire requirements were last reviewed in 1986.

Community meet-ings begin in Kam-loops on Dec. 3 and Kelowna on Dec. 4. The series resumes Jan. 8 in Dawson Creek, Jan. 9 in Van-couver, Jan. 14 in Cranbrook, Jan. 15 in Nanaimo and Jan. 16 in Chilliwack.

NEWSCourierTown Hall updates

the community on municipalityRuth LloydCaledonia Courier

A small crowd came out to a District of Fort St. James town hall at the new commu-nity centre on Dec. 5.

The town hall included booths on many of the servic-es, initiatives and projects the District of Fort St. James has been working on, from First Nations relations, to the trans-portation committee, to youth programs, economic develop-ment, housing and the community forest.

There were surveys to offer citizens a chance to provide feedback and prioritize some of the work being done or proposed and information on what has already been done.

The evening began with an opportunity for people to move around gathering in-formation at tables and speak to some of those involved, including councillors and committee members.

There were then smaller roundtable discussions, where community members could sit and discuss specific topics with District administrators or mayor and coun-cil.

The discussions ranged from recreation and health to infrastructure, policies and bylaws, transportation and the municipal budget.

After the breakout group discussions, District of Fort St. James council and staff and Nak’azdli representative Angel Ransom all highlighted some of the information

brought forward at the tables then community members had oppor-tunities to ask questions.

The event was a wealth of in-formation on municipal opera-tions and initiatives, from infor-mation on a recently completed housing survey to the Master Trails Plan public works opera-tions and transportation commit-tee highlights.

There were also some groups in attendance to inform people about their work, including the Fort St. James T.V and Radio So-ciety and the Fort St. James Vol-unteer Fire Department.

To access some of the informa-tion provided at the event, contact the District of Fort St. James at 996-8233 or go to fortstjames.ca.

Fort St. James has a farmer’s market through the summer, � shing and hunting are common sources of meat and you can buy local beef in stores, yet locally produced food does not make up the majority of the com-munity’s diet.

But Nak’azdli is looking at changing this.

With the construc-tion of one greenhouse, the Mt. Pope Green-house project began production this year, growing a range of tomatoes to see what would work in local conditions. Toma-toes were sold in the Sana’aih Market for the community later in the summer, once the necessary clean-ing processes were in place.

It was a small step, but the � rst step in what could be a major project for the commu-nity and could lead to more sustainable food production.

A forum on the

project to collect feed-back and ideas from the community gath-ered around 50 people in Kwah Hall on Nov. 28 for the open forum on agriculture and food production on Naka’zdli territory and included guests from the Ministry of Agri-culture of� ce in Smith-ers and Community Futures.

The Greenhouse Manager Andrew Stairs highlighted what had been achieved so far with the � rst green-house, through the � rst sale of tomatoes to businesses in the com-munity.

A secondary crop of

strawberries was also planted, with � rst pro-duction expected next year.

The forum offered Stairs an opportunity to discuss a proposed model farm project, which would expand the food production to more greenhouses, raised beds, a vegeta-ble � eld and potential-ly even livestock.

The forum also brought forward the idea being proposed by the Upper Fraser Fisheries Conservation Alliance to help offset Fraser River salmon population decline with extensive lake stocking.

But the focus was on agriculture, and Stairs introduced the proposed model farm and then allowed peo-ple to form breakout groups for discussion and brainstorming on the speci� c topics of: greenhouse crops, me-dicinal plants, � eld vegetables, livestock and � sh.

There are many is-sues left to address, Stairs acknowledged, including land use is-

sues and competing interests with industry.

The forum was to get community in-volvement and start people thinking about food by “collecting ideas that can be trans-lated into action,” said Stairs.

He said the sky is the limit for ideas, but they have to be ground-ed in reality.

After the forum, Stairs said he will be compiling the informa-tion and ideas into a report he will present to the Nak’azdli Band, likely next spring.

While he said it is a bureaucratic process, the steps need to be taken and after he has prioritized the results of the � rst consulta-tion, this can be used to guide the future invest-ments in infrastructure.

Stairs said elder Betsy Leon put it best when she opened the forum by talking about Nak’azdli’s past tradi-tions with sustainable food production, when the community had their own gardens.

He said even though we live in north-central

B.C., it is possible to have a viable agricul-tural enterprise.

Agriculture could provide long-term em-ployment for the com-munity, said Stairs, while mining and for-estry provide short-term resource-depen-dent jobs.

“We’re looking to the past to create the future,” said Stairs.

New youth centreRuth LloydCaledonia Courier

A new youth centre is another project being worked on by Nak’azdli Band.

A meeting held on Nov. 19 brought together 20 people from across the community including the Nak’azdli Youth Council members, Fireweed Col-lective Society, community members, Nak’azdli band members, band employees and representa-tives from the District of Fort St. James. Youth be-tween 15 and 18 years old were in attendance.

The meeting was held to bring together mem-bers of the community to discuss options and ideas for a new youth centre which would better serve the needs of youth in the entire community.

The hope is that by creating a new youth centre it will increase the numbers of youth being served by the centre and create more youth space and ac-tivities in the community.

Nak’azdli’s current youth centre is located be-hind the covered arena across the road from Petro Canada.

The discussion centred around getting a new building in a central location. Ideas were brought forward on new locations. Some of the suggested locations were: behind Kwah Hall, behind the Nak’azdli Natural Resources Of� ce, behind the Nak’azdli Daycare and the old Chevron Town Pan-try site.

The Nak’azdli Youth Centre is currently used by between 10 and 20 young people each night of the week, with different days of the week having activi-ties focused on different age groups.

Mondays and Tuesdays are for Grades 2-5, Wednesdays and Thursdays are for Grades 6-8 while Fridays include activities for Grades 8-12.

The steering committee on the project will bring the ideas forward to the chief and council at their next meeting.

Growing concepts, feeding a community

• LetterPipeline benefits

– promises questionedEditor:

Employment and economic benefits seem to be prominent selling points for the proposed Enbridge Northern Gateway pipelines project.

The benefit numbers presented to the public by En-bridge Northern Gateway in their advertisements and through face-to-face engagement meetings in an effort to gain support of the project appear to be portrayed as though they are fact.

However, their witnesses’ replies to the Joint Re-view Panel and intervener questions about the benefits proved them to be anything but.

In their 2012 newspaper advertisements Enbridge Northern Gateway stated: “New jobs will be created – Many people will be employed to build this project. Here in B.C., over 3,000 high-paying construction jobs will be created during the building phase. And over 500 new long-term jobs will open up when it is com-pleted-jobs to monitor and maintain the pipeline, jobs at the Kitimat Marine Terminal, and indirect jobs in ar-eas such as food and hospitality, accommodations, and transportation. And all right here in B.C..”

When I questioned the Enbridge Northern Gateway witnesses on the factuality of the employment and eco-nomic benefit numbers in November 2012, they replied:

• There are assumptions made around direct employment, purchasing patterns and total project costs.

• In their benefits calculations they assumed

the pipe will come from Canadian mills and the model reflected that, but the company may not use pipe manu-factured in Canada. They have spoken with the Korean company Daewoo about pipe provision.

• The employment and economic benefit num-bers have never been revised to reflect the effect for-eign procurement of the pipe could have; but the wit-nesses said they would go down.

• Indirect and induced jobs are not necessar-ily new jobs, some may be new, some may simply be people working harder.

• Northern Gateway does not have control over indirect and induced effects, indirect effects are not managed by what Enbridge Northern Gateway does other than the arrangement for procurement itself.

• Even though 74 per cent of the project is in B.C., B.C. regional residents could see less of the em-ployment during construction, the balance of the jobs will likely be given to companies already in the pipe-line construction business. Enbridge Nothern Gateway witnesses acknowledged that as reported in a news ar-ticle, Petro China, a Chinese government owned com-pany, spoke with them about their interest in building the pipelines.

• The estimated number of new direct employ-ment by Enbridge Northern Gateway in B.C. during op-eration is 234.

The public consultation panel witnesses were asked in March 2013 why the public wasn’t being told that the employment and economic benefit numbers are at

best estimations, even by way of something as simple as a disclaimer or footnote in their advertisements. Northern Gateway’s Janet Holder, executive vice presi-dent, replied:

“If you think about it, we have to provide so much information in a limited amount of space and a limited amount of time. So to put all the information in that ad ... it couldn’t be done.”

She went on to say:“I don’t think we’re hiding behind anything because

we’ve presented that evidence before the JRP.” This October Enbridge Northern Gateway embarked

on a new advertising campaign which included a pam-phlet distributed through the mail, with these same jobs numbers. For that multipage pamphlet they had room to include a basic disclaimer or footnote stating the num-bers in that pamphlet to be estimations, or any of the other descriptors the witnesses used, but they chose not to.

What could the reason be for Enbridge Northern Gateway not telling the public the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth about the employment and economic benefits, like their witnesses did in their sworn testimony?

The only answer that I can think of is that the truth would not gain public support of the proposed Enbridge Northern Gateway pipelines.

Fort St. James RCMP reportNov. 30 at 1 p.m.,

RCMP were called to the Stuart Lake Hospi-tal where a female vic-tim had been assaulted and also possibly sexu-ally assaulted.

The alleged incident took place on Tache Reserve and the female victim was reportedly very intoxicated at the time of the offence. She could recall being beat-en by a male in dark clothing but little else.

Consent for sexual activity can not be giv-en if a sexual partner is highly intoxicated.

In the eyes of the law, this is sexual as-sault.

The matter is still under investigation.

Nov. 30 at 10:30 a.m., RCMP responded to a report of a break and enter at the Fas Gas building.

The last check of the building had been at 11 p.m. the previous night and upon arrival at 10 a.m., a broken window was discovered.

Energy drinks were reportedly on the � oor of the store, but it was not known if anything else had been taken as much of the stock is be-ing cleared out to make way for the takeover by new owners.

RCMP have no sus-pects at this time and anyone with any infor-mation in relation to the break and enter can contact the RCMP at 996-8269.

On Dec. 3 at 3:45 p.m., two RCMP mem-bers conducting foot patrols in the down-town observed a Green 96 Firebird pull into a parking lot.

The driver was re-portedly a known pro-hibited driver and po-lice walked over to the vehicle.

They con� rmed the driver was prohibited after a previous inci-dent.

The driver will now face additional charges and appears in court on Feb. 22.

On Dec. 4 at 5:30 a.m., a Fort St. James resident called police to report hearing a male and female possibly in-volved in a dispute at an apartment on Stuart Drive.

RCMP attended and were told a male had reportedly hit his girl-friend in the head and he had been drinking.

Police located the suspect on Carrier Drive and checks con-� rmed the man was on conditions not to con-sume alcohol.

After uttering sui-cidal remarks, the sus-pect was taken to the Stuart Lake Hospital for evaluation by a phy-sician.

He was arrested for assault and breach of probation and was appearing in Prince George court last week.

Also on Dec. 4, two drivers attended the Fort St. James detachment to report a two-vehicle col-lision at the corner of Douglas and Ash Street.

A logging truck had stopped at the intersection, but due to slippery condi-tions had slid for-ward into the inter-section.

The driver then attempted to back up out of the way.

A driver of a BMW sedan was behind the truck, and the truck driver had not been able to see it in his mir-rors.

The frame of the logging truck punched through the hood of the BMW rendering the car inoperable.

A BMW was severly dam-aged in a motor vehicle incident on Dec. 4.

Trapper rescued on Morice LakeA trapper was rescued in extreme

temperatures on the shores of Morice Lake after being thrown from his boat.

After receiving a 911 call from a sat-ellite messenger GPS unit on Decem-ber 2, 2013, the Houston RCMP, with the assistance of local residents, Hous-ton Search and Rescue and the Depart-ment of Fisheries and Oceans, located the device and its owner on the Morice Lake, approximately 85 km southwest of Houston.

The SPOT Unit had been activated at 3:45 p.m. which prompted a call to police.

After determining the terrain in the location provided by the GPS coor-dinates, police contacted Search and Rescue and local residents that had knowledge of the remote area and a boat which could be used to access the lake.

Facing overnight temperatures of -20 degrees, strong winds and complete darkness, the rescuers made their way to the Morice Lake where a rescue ef-fort was launched.

After several hours on the water res-cuers reached the GPS coordinates pro-vided by SPOT and located the trapper on shore.

The trapper had activated the bea-con after being thrown from his 16-foot boat by strong waves which forced him to swim to shore.

The trapper was wet but in good health and was transported back to Houston where he demonstrated his ap-preciation by sharing breakfast with his rescuers.

“This is a great example of an avid outdoorsman who ran into trouble in the wilderness but had the equip-ment and clothing to keep himself safe until help arrived,” says Ser-geant Stephen Rose, the Detach-

ment Commander for the Houston / Granisle Detachment. “Moreover, it demonstrates the tenacity of our Search and Rescue group and the willingness of local residents to help emergency services offer help to someone during their time of need. The willingness of local residents to risk their own lives to save another is outstanding.”

SPORTSCourier


It was an unfortunate end to a good game.With two ladies hockey teams playing Nov. 24 in the

Fort Forum Arena, there were even a few fans in the stands to watch the action.

Vanderhoof came out of the gates strong, scoring one early in the � rst period.

Fort St. James came back to tie it up with a goal by Nadine Gingrich, and Vanderhoof pulled ahead once more with their second goal by number 10 Veronic Priest.

Then Fort St. James’ defensive player Mary Willick tied it back up, assisted by Trudi Saharchuk.

The game was back and forth off and on, and as Fort St. James gained traction in the third they were spending

more time in the Vanderhoof end but couldn’t get the puck in the net.

Vanderhoof did, however, and Christa Braun knocked a third into the net for her team.

Then, with only one minute to go, Vanderhoof player Sarah Fitzpatrick fell back on the ice during some action in front of the Vanderhoof net, effectively ending the game.

Fitzpatrick was taken off the ice by ambulance as a pre-caution, to ensure there was no serious neck injury as a result of the fall and the game was called.

Her injury was later con� rmed to be a case of whiplash.There were only two penalties during the game, one for

too many players on the ice against Fort St. James which allowed Vanderhoof to get a power play, during which they scored their second goal, and one against Vanderhoof for tripping.
