The Music on the Mountain Society is so pleased with this year’s new venue for the festival—the old fair grounds—that they’ve already spoken with the snow-mobile club (which owns the grounds) and arranged for next year’s festival to be held there.

Society President Lionel Conant couldn’t be more pleased with this year’s event. “It went really well. We had about 800 people this year, close to 300 more than last year, and the gate was up by 50%. The venue was stunning—very village-like—and very easy to work with and manage.”

Conant admits that there were a few early fears about fi re and dust as a result of the long stretch of hot, dry weather, but in the end Mother Nature helped out. “We had rain on Thursday, and that helped,” he says, adding that concert go-

ers even got a bonus: a display of North-ern Lights late on Saturday that accom-panied the action onstage.

Although the police came by occa-sionally to check on things, there was no security trouble at all throughout the concert, something Conant attributes to the atmosphere that organizers have tried to cultivate. “There were 70 to 80 kids under the age of 12 at the festival, and that gives it a real family atmo-sphere, which really helps to mitigate the situation.”

Although the next MoM festival is still a year away, the work never stops. “We’ll be doing some work at the site this fall,” says Conant. They won’t have to take the stage down, but it needs weatherproofi ng before winter, and there are a few other jobs to be done. And the business of rais-ing funds, booking bands, and writing grants starts now. “We’re also planning house concerts and other gigs around here over the winter, as part of our mandate as

a Society to promote art and culture. It’s a great mentorship opportunity for lo-cal youth, being able to come and talk to working musicians.”

Volunteers are always appreciated, for ongoing events and for next year’s fes-tival. Asked if the festival will offi cially be changing its name, Conant laughs. “Music on the Meadow was never its of-fi cial name, and we’ve had a few people say it could still be called Music on the Mountain. If anyone has any suggestions that fi t the MoM acronym they’d like to toss at us, we’d love to hear them.” The Society can be contacted via e-mail at [email protected]

“We’ve had overwhelming local sup-port and help from people, government, and businesses,” says Conant. “And we had a number of musicians who came up to us and said that of all the festivals they’ve been to, this was their favourite event of the summer. We’re glad they’re happy to be here.”

The new venue for Music on the Mountain was a huge success. Here, members of Di Done (pronounced Dee Dough-nay, and meaning “All Nations”) kick off the festival at the old fair grounds.

Annual allowable cut set to be droppedBARBARA RODENBlack Press

The Annual Allowable Cut for the Prince George Timber Sup-ply Area—which includes Fort St. James and Vanderhoof—looks set to be dropped when the fi nal report comes out by the end of this year.

Andrew Wheatley, Resource Manager for the Ministry of Forests, Lands, and Natural Re-sources offi ce in Fort St. James, says that during the last AAC re-view in 2011, the Prince George TSA had the cut dropped from 14 million cubic metres to 12.5 million. “This is the largest TSA in the province,” says Wheatley. “You could call it the province’s breadbasket, or fi bre basket. The AAC here is usually substantially bigger than anywhere else in the province.”

Wheatley points out that the

mountain pine beetle had changed everything. “We’re entering a time in forestry that we’ve never been in before. We would have got there anyway, but the pine beetle sped it up.” He’s referring to the necessity of better manag-ing forest resources, in order to think of the future. “The AAC has to be dropped in order to maintain a better steady supply of wood rather than taking it all now, and having no green plantations tall enough to cut in 50 years’ time.”

There are still some pine bee-tle-infected trees standing, but the diffi culty of getting to them means they’re unlikely to be logged. “We don’t have the infra-structure to harvest them, and the region is too vast to get them all.” There is also a danger to using pine beetle trees, as the older they are the more brittle they become, and could explode going down the line to be processed. Once a

tree hits the ground, it has to be got to within one year, and even then may not be salvageable.

Wheatley notes that pine bee-tle wood has its uses. “It’s still strong, and can be used by pel-let mills, log home makers, and craftsmen and carvers.” But the devastation caused by the pine beetle has led to a reassessment about how we manage the for-est. “We’re considering more values now when we look at the AAC, such as First Nations and wildlife,” says Wheatley. “For example, the moose population is shrinking, and we need to fi nd out why.”

And they need to look to the future. “We have to stretch our timber supply and keep it contin-uous,” says Wheatley. “It means we have to tighten our belts a bit now, but it’s for the good of mak-ing sure we have good strong for-ests in the future.

The District of Fort St. James looks set to proceed with a proposed sale of park land to BC Hydro, after putting the mat-ter to voters via an Alternative Approval Process (AAP).

The AAP calls for 10% of registered voters (121, in the case of Fort St. James) to submit their opposition, in writing, to a proposal. If that threshold is reached, Council can decide to turn the matter over

to Assent Voting, more commonly known as a referendum. However, as of Aug. 28 no opposition had been received, with the deadline for fi ling being Aug. 31. No com-ments had been received about the AAP process, although early on there were a few questions about the land sale.

BC Hydro has asked the District to sell it 0.188ha of unused park land to the east of the substation on Murray Road, in exchange for a 0.188ha parcel of land to the north of the substation that is owned

by Hydro. The exchange will facilitate upgrades to the substation, which are re-quired to tie in power that will be gener-ated by the Fort Green Energy Project, due to come online in 2016.

The “Land Disposal and Exchange Bylaw No. 951, 2015” was given fi rst, second, and third reading at the Council meeting of July 12, 2015. The lack of op-position via the AAP means that the by-law is likely to be adopted at the Council meeting on Sept. 9.

The B.C. Treaty Commission is looking for the best summer harvest photographs from the prov-ince’s First Nations, with three winners receiving Visa gift cards. All submitted pictures will be kept in the BCTC’s photo bank, and may be used on their website, on social media, or in publications.

It doesn’t matter what’s being harvested, so if you have pictures of berry picking, fi shing, hunt-ing, or seaweed harvesting, send them in. You can do this by tagging your photo #bctreaty on Twit-ter or Instagram, or by e-mailing it to [email protected]

Treaty Commission does not negoti-ate treaties, but is an independent body responsible for facilitating treaty negotiations among the gov-ernments of Canada, B.C. and First Nations in the province. It was established in 1992, and oversees the negotiation process to ensure that the parties involved are being effective and are making prog-ress. The BCTC also provides public information and education resources, and allocates funding to First Nations to provide support for the negotiation process.

Many Canadians, in an attempt to differentiate them-selves from Americans, like to fi nd something that we do better here—or at least think we do better—and then pro-claim how superior it is to the American system. A case in point is federal elections, where Canucks like to point to our fi xed election campaign term: no less than 36 days, and usually not much more, between dropping the writ and the day that voters decide who gets to redecorate the Prime Minister’s offi cial residence at 24 Sussex Drive.

So it was rather amusing to note the muffl ed screams from Canadians when the Prime Minister tore up the rule book and announced an election campaign that was go-ing to last for 11 whole weeks; the longest Canadian elec-tion campaign in modern times. Our friends to the south dream of an election campaign that only lasts for 11 weeks, since the American election process seems to start within 48 hours of a new President being sworn in, and is more or less constant after that. The national conventions in the States, where the Republican and Democrat candidates for President will be elected, are almost a full year away, but as of the time of writing there are already 17 people who have declared as Republican nominees (18, if you consider whatever lives on Donald Trump’s head to be a sentient creature whispering instructions to him, which would ac-tually explain a lot). These people have been all over the airwaves for what seems like decades, and it will only get worse over the next 12 months.

The truth is, of course, that the three main political parties here in Canada have been in election mode for

some time. The Conservatives have been reminding us for months now about all the great things they’ve done, or have planned for the future, if we’ll only give them an-other chance. Hey, did you know it’s Canada’s 150th an-niversary in two years? If not, then you probably haven’t watched any TV, listened to the radio, or read a newspaper since last year, as the Conservatives have been reminding us of this patriotic fact since roughly forever. And ever since the spring, when the election went from “some day” to “coming soon”, it’s been impossible to turn on the TV without seeing ads in which one party is attacking an-other. About the only person who’s emerged unscathed is Green Party leader Elizabeth May, largely (I suspect) because the other parties know there’s little point spend-ing money to attack a party that has no hope of forming the next government.

All this frenzied scaremongering will only get worse as the main parties continue to slug it out on the airwaves in the run-up to Oct. 19. All the political parties swear they won’t stoop to attack ads, but you can’t turn on the TV without seeing the Conservatives attacking the Liberals (is it just me, or is the Tories’ preoccupation with Justin Trudeau’s hair a little weird?), the Liberals attacking the Conservatives, and the NDP trying to decide who best to attack, because they might need to form a coalition with one of the other parties, and that’s hard to do when you’ve spent weeks slagging them off to the electorate. And these messages are almost impossible to avoid, no matter how hard you try. If you have a Canadian IP address you can’t even watch a YouTube video without running the risk of being forced to sit through a message from one of the main parties fi rst. Things are getting out of hand when, months

before the election, even cat videos are not beyond the reach of political advertising. Is nothing sacred anymore?

I imagine things are just as frantic behind the scenes. The Prime Minister’s team is trying to teach him to smile in a way that seems authentic, rather than like an unfortu-nate facial tic. Justin Trudeau’s people are attempting to make him look more like a statesman and less like a high school Student Council president who’s wandered into the staff room by mistake. At Stornoway, the residence of the Leader of the Opposition, focus groups are trying to determine the answer to “The Beard: Yes or No?” while Thomas Mulcair waits impatiently, razor in hand. And at Green Party headquarters, Elizabeth May and her crew are probably hoping one of the other parties will aim an attack ad her way, just so she won’t feel left out.

The only group of people that has it worse right now are polling companies. These fi rms don’t have a stellar track record of late, having spectacularly failed to predict the results in the last two Alberta elections, the last B.C. elec-tion, and the recent election in Britain. Having confi dently predicted outcomes that failed to happen, in rather stunning fashion in all cases, they’re trying to fi gure out what went wrong even as they tell us that such-and-such a party is now ahead in the polls. Do you want an accurate prediction of who’s going to win come October? Flip a coin; you have just as much chance of being right as the pollsters do, but at least you’ll have something tangible to show for it.

So we’re in for a long haul, between now and Oct. 19, assailed on all sides by political ads, pollsters’ (supposed) fi ndings, and pundits trying to explain it all. Good luck try-ing to avoid it, because if YouTube is anything to go by, they’ll fi nd you, no matter hard you try.

Four federal political parties have offi cially named candi-dates in the riding of Skeena-Bulkley Valley. The most recent candidate is Brad Layton, who received the Liberal nomina-tion on Aug. 19. He joins Nathan Cullen (NDP), Tyler Nesbitt (Conservative), and Donald Spratt (Christian Heritage Party) in the contest for the riding. The Green Party, which has an-nounced plans to run in each of the country’s 338 ridings, has yet to name a candidate in Skeena-Bulkley Valley.

Layton, who works in the forest industry and had just start-ed his second term as a Councillor in the village of Telkwa, was the only person seeking the Liberal nomination in the rid-ing. He does not plan to start heavy campaigning until mid-September, when a traditional 37-day federal election period would normally be starting.

He will be going up against heavyweight incumbent Nathan Cullen, who has held the riding for the NDP since 2004. The four-term Member of Parliament spent two years (2012-14) as House Leader of the NDP in the House of Commons, and in 2014 was named “Most Knowledgeable MP” by Maclean’s Magazine in its annual “Parliamentarian of the Year” awards.

Tyler Nesbitt, born and raised in Prince Rupert and now a resident of Terrace, has a B.A. in anthropology from UBC. The 32-year-old father of three works as a construction manager for the Nechako Group of Companies. Donald Spratt has served as a pastor, gospel singer, recording artist, Bible teacher, evange-list, and missionary. Over the last 45 years he has also owned and operated various construction, sales, and installation busi-nesses, and has worked as a paramedic, business development manager, salesman, and machinery operator.

The federal election will be held on Monday, Oct. 19, with advance voting taking place from Oct. 9-12. For information about where and how to vote, visit the Elections Canada web-site at www.elections.ca

The B.C. legislature is being recalled Sept. 28 for a fall session that will likely deal with increasing penal-ties for distracted driving and careless smoking.

The B.C. government has signalled its intention to increase penalties in both areas. Justice Minister Su-zanne Anton announced preliminary results of public consultation on distracted driving penalties at the end of June, with 90 per cent of respondents calling for stiff-er penalties for using smart-phones while driving.

Anton said the current $167 ticket for distracted drivers is not suffi cient for repeat offenders, who could have their vehicles im-pounded. Saskatchewan has introduced a one-week sei-zure of the vehicle for driv-ers who get two distracted driving tickets less than a year apart.

After dry conditions sparked an early start to the B.C. forest fi re season, For-ests Minister Steve Thom-son announced a review of penalties for violating campfi re bans and tossing lit cigarettes.

Thomson appointed Prince George-Mackenzie MLA Mike Morris, a for-mer RCMP superintendent, to lead a similar review of those penalties. Morris said

Careless driving, smoking penalties on way

B.C. Premier Christy Clark will be targeting careless driving and smoking, in-creasing the fines for both, when the legislature is recalled on Sept. 28.

he was considering the vehicle impoundment option for careless tossing of cigarette butts, and prohibiting people from camping in pro-vincial parks if they violate campfi re restric-tions.

Fire bans allow use of camp stoves or bar-becues with briquets for cooking, but conser-vation offi cers continue to fi nd people lighting wood fi res that give off sparks and can spread in dry conditions.

The fall session will complete an unusually busy year for the B.C. legislature, which was recalled in July to authorize a project devel-opment agreement for the Pacifi c Northwest

LNG gas export project proposed for Prince Rupert.

Fort St. James RCMP members took it all off for Cops for Cancer; their hair, that is!

Members of the Fort St. James RCMP de-tachment participated in a Cops for Cancer Tour De North fundraiser at the North Arm Pub last week. The evening featured a Greek dinner, silent auction, and head shaves.

Several offi cers had their heads shaved for the cause, including a brave Const. Ab-bey Thacker, who let her locks go. Const. Carlie McCann has been growing her hair since 2013, and cut it off to be made into wigs.

Then the donations started fl owing when some of the male offi cers offered to have their legs waxed for $5 per strip. Three of-fi cers stepped up for the cause, with Const. Lee Best throwing caution to the wind and offering up his chest hair. Strip by strip, he pulled in $300, bringing the total raised to $5,500 for the night.

“I won’t lie, it was unpleasant at fi rst, then the numbness set in, and the donations fl owed,” said Lee. “I can’t think of a more worthy cause, and I’m assured it will grow back in time for next year!”

The Fort St. James RCMP would like to thank the community for their generous do-nations and help with this fundraiser. Const. Andres Sanchez is riding in the tour this year, representing the Fort St. James RCMP, and we are proud of him and wish him the best of luck.

Farmers’ markets are an integral part of many communities. They not only provide a way for local growers, farm-ers, artists, and artisans to connect with a market; they’re a place for residents to meet and mingle on a weekly basis. The Fort St. James Farmers’ Market, which takes place every Friday at Spirit Square, usually has between 8 and 12 vendors, selling items as diverse as clothing, honey, produce, jewellery, and woodwork.

September 12-19 is Farmers Appreci-ation Week, and the B.C. Association of Farmers’ Markets (BCAFM) is inviting all British Columbians to submit origi-nal poems that honour local farmers. It’s their third annual “Ode to a Farmer” poetry contest, which is looking for ag-riculture-themed poems before the dead-line of Sept. 13. The grand prize winner will receive a $150 certifi cate to spend at the B.C. farmers’ market of their choice, and there will also be a $50 winner from each of the province’s regions: Cariboo-Chilcotin-Coast; Kootenay-Rockies; Northern B.C.; Thompson-Okanagan; Vancouver; Coast and Mountains; and Vancouver Island.

Entries will be judged based on sev-eral criteria: relevance to the theme (25%); judges’ impression (25%); po-etic structure (20%); spelling and gram-mar (15%); and originality (15%). The contest is open to all British Colum-bia residents, and there is a 500 word limit. Submissions—in the form of a haiku, sonnet, poem, or limerick—can

Farmer’s Market contest

be sent via e-mail (http://fl uidsurveys.com/s/fawpoetry/?TEST_DATA=&_cb=hiQrQKMn40) or by mail to “ATTN: Poetry Contest, B.C. Association of Farm-ers’ Markets, 203-2642 Main Street, Van-couver V5T 3E6”. “We’re looking for peo-ple to use their creativity through words to show their appreciation of local farmers who contribute greatly to our communi-ties, health, and well-being,” says Georgia Stanley, the BCAFM’s Communications Manager.

“There is a great tradition of writers fi nding inspiration from the land that is

continued through the ‘Ode to a Farmer’ contest,” says Tamara Leigh, president of the B.C. Farm Writers’ Association, and a contest judge. “I look forward to seeing how people connect creatively with food and farming, and bring it to life in their poems.”

The BCAFM is a not-for-profi t associa-tion that represents 125 farmers’ markets across the province and works to support, develop, and promote farmers’ markets in all regions of BC. For more information on the BCAFM or to fi nd a farmers’ market near you, visit www.bcfarmersmarket.org.

Fort St. James is just one of the many communities in the province that has a weekly Farmers’ Market in summer, in the Fort’s case at Spirit Square.

It’s almost time for back to school, and that means a change of rou-tine for many par-ents and children, more cars on the road, more activity around schools, and more opportuni-ties for children to fi nd themselves in an unsafe situation. Here are a few tips to make sure that everyone stays safe before, during, and after school.

Traffi c pat-terns will change when school is back in session, as parents drop off and pick up children, so be aware of this and of the extra vehicles around schools. Also note that the speed limit in school zones is 30km/hour, and that unless signs indi-cate otherwise, this speed limit is in effect from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm on schooldays. The fi ne for speeding in a school zone ranges from $196 to $483, and also car-ries three driver penalty points.

Watch out for those making their way to and from school on foot or by bicycle, and who might dart suddenly into the road. Par-ents should ensure that children walking or riding to school know the rules of the road and that they remain alert to what’s going on around them. It’s also a good idea, with younger children who may be walking on their own for the fi rst time, to go over the route with them and point out anything that might be a hazard.

Parents should tell children to cross the street at designated

crosswalks, and not in the middle of a block.

If you’re dropping off a child, have him or her exit the vehicle on the same side of the road as the curb or sidewalk, rather than on the road side, where they could be struck by a passing ve-hicle.

Be careful around school bus-es, and make sure to stop when a school bus has its yellow lights fl ashing. Even when you’re clear to drive on, make sure to watch for children at the side of the road.

Stress the importance of your child staying on the school grounds at recess and lunch-time (unless they come home at lunch).

The provincial government has recently released a new Emergency Management Plan-ning Guide, designed to help schools, students, and teachers be prepared for any emergency which might happen. Parents and guardians can help by participat-ing in drills or exercises related

to emergency preparedness, and by encouraging students to take these drills and exercises seri-ously.

Make sure that your child’s contact, medical, and student release information is current and includes any new/changed telephone numbers and health information. This information is vital to schools in the case of an emergency.

If your child has a serious health issue, such as diabetes or a severe allergy, make sure to let staff at the school know. Also make sure that any necessary medications or foods are left at the school, and that staff know where they are and when/how to administer them.

Keep your child safe from identity theft by ensuring they do not carry their Social Insur-ance Number (SIN) around with them. If a school asks for your child’s SIN ask why they need it and how it will be stored. Also ask what the school’s policy is on things such as surveys, data

Back to school safetybreaches, and programs that require personal information, who has access to this information, and who they are allowed to disclose it to.

If you would rather that your child’s picture did not appear in school newsletters or the local paper, or on a school’s social media pages, make sure you do not sign the release form your child will get when school starts.

Many children are on their own for a time when they return home after school. Make sure that they know a few basic safety rules, such as keep-

ing doors locked, and go over what they should do if someone calls or comes to the door. Keep a list of emer-gency phone numbers (parent’s work and cellphone numbers; the doctor’s offi ce; neighbours or relatives who live nearby and can quickly come over to help if necessary) in a promi-nent place. If there will be younger children in the care of an older child, make sure any potential hazards such as medications, cleaners, razors, and tools are locked away.

Have a safe and happy new school year!

The Fun Page

ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20Con icting instructions make it dif cult to please others this week, Aries. Try your best to meet others’ needs, and look to others for help if the need arises.

TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21Taurus, your stubbornness can sometimes be an asset, but don’t let it get in the way this week. Approach a task with a new perspective and don’t hesitate to solicit others’ opinions.

GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21Gemini, even though you are reluctant to show your hand this week, others know what’s on your mind. It’s tough for you to remain aloof when you seem like an open book.

CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22You are full of energy this week, Cancer, so put it to good use. Lend a hand to others who have a lot on their plates and tackle some lingering projects of your own as well.

LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23Leo, don’t take anything for granted this week. A project might go off without a hitch, but you need to be prepared in case it does not. Remain aware.

VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22Virgo, you may be so engrossed in your own routine that you miss some of the subtle goings-on at work. If suddenly you feel out of the loop, make an effort to be more in the know.

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23Libra, speak up about a situation that you feel needs to be addressed. Your voice won’t be heard if you remain quiet, but your point of view offers some valuable insight.

SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22Scorpio, rather than focusing on your own progress this week, see what you can learn from others without making everything a competition. This can be a special learning process.

SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21Sagittarius, you may be doing your best to demonstrate your good intentions, but others may not be satis ed with your efforts. Reexamine your approach.

CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20A big payoff awaits if you work hard and exercise patience this week, Capricorn. Although you may be pushing for immediate results, the outcome will take some time.
