MoM breaks evenRuth LloydCaledonia Courier

It was sunshine, some sand and sweet music, but it wasn’t just a beach party.

The Music on the Mountain festival had their most successful year yet, essen-tially breaking even for the fi rst time, and they give all the thanks to the community support from sponsorship and volunteer-ism.

“We had such a broad spectrum of people there from the community,” said Lionel Conant of the Music on the Moun-tain Society. “We bring all this talent, but without the audience and the volunteers, it just doesn’t go off.

We really, really pulled this together as a community.”

With large donations coming in this year from a number of local businesses and organizations, including the munici-pality and local First Nations and a signifi -

cant grant from the provincial government coming through with an extra $10,000, MoM fi nally found itself in the black in 2012.

The festival ran for three days again on August 24, 25, 26, and drew music lovers from Fort St. James, Vanderhoof, Prince George, Quesnel, Williams Lake and be-yond.

Conant said the group plans to continue to grow the festival in the future, with the help of the community.

There were more kids at the festival than in past years, he said and more week-end pass-holders and more campers on site.

The live music was incredible, crossing a number of genre lines, including every-thing from folk to bluegrass, punk to hard rock, there was a bit of everything for ev-eryone.

Miss Quincy and the Showdown rocked the house and put on three sets - one

each day - of everything from rockabilly to country covers in their own style.

The group was ending an eight-month tour which crossed Canada and also went abroad to include Europe. While their Fri-day night set was not as tight, the mellow Saturday night “B” stage show of country covers showed another side of the talented women’s skill set, and the Sunday show was every bit the Miss Quincy a person could hope for.

There were a number of highlights, with Folky Strum-Strum being mentioned by a number of festival-goers as an amaz-ing surprise, lead singer Iyan Bruvold has a voice every bit as unique and plaintive as Eddy Vedder, only he sings while also rocking the banjo.

Members of the group, from Rolla, B.C., host the Sweetwater 905 Art Festival each year, now the fi rst festival in central B.C. of the year.

The Steve Brockley Band, High Soci-

ety, Broken Mirrors, Kate Reid, Corwin Fox, Blackberry Wood, Linda McRae and many, many more artists brought their talents together to make an amazing “las-tival.”

Another highlight was the on-site painting being done by artist Crystal Char-lotte Easton. Over the entire festival, Crys-tal worked on a large painting she called “Mothers and Sons” which was up for silent auction the entire time.

On Sunday, after fi nishing the incred-ible painting, she presented it to the crowd and to the winning bidder, Kelly Inden and Fireweed Collective Society. She called the group’s purchase of the painting “soul-touching” and she tearfully acknowledged the group’s importance to her, as she had helped to found the group when she lived in Fort St. James.

Easton now lives in Nanaimo, B.C., but returns to Fort about twice a year to visit family and friends.

September ER updateDue to challenges securing locum coverage, the emer-

gency room in Fort St. James will experience a temporary closure for the month of September. Northern Health will provide updates should the status change.

Northern Health has secured additional coverage for the clinic with a Nurse Practitioner and locum physicians. The Nurse Practitioner will be at the Nak’azdli Health Centre on September 14 and 28, and at the Fort St. James

Cullen battles over fi nal hearingson Northern Gateway

Skeena-Bulkley Val-ley MP Nathan Cullen is fi ghting to be able to raise certain questions at the fi nal hearings for the Enbridge Northern Gateway Joint Review Panel.

Final hearings are a chance for intervenors to ask questions of experts and Enbridge about the project, but are strictly controlled in terms of what can be discussed.

New information can not be submitted in the fi nal hearings, instead, questions will be limited to infor-mation on the public registry, ie. already presented before the review panel.

Cullen, who would like to be able to ques-tion federal depart-ments at the hearing has been countered by the Department of Justice on behalf of the Attorney Gen-eral. While the letter from the Department of Justice argues the topics Cullen pro-poses are not directly related to the evidence. Cullen, alternatively, says the topics “are in fact related to testing the credibility of the evidence that has been fi led on the record.”

A decision on whether Cullen’s line of questioning would or would not be al-lowed had not been made by press time.

The Nak’azdli Elders Soci-ety was over $2,000 richer thanks to Sana’aih Markets Community Rewards Pro-gram. Sana’aih Market once again chose a local charity to receive the funds from the program, and here Rob Gar-den (left) is handing over a cheque to Margot Sagalon of the society. Sagalon said the Nak’azdli Elders Society will likely use the funds for improvements needed at the First Nations Cemetery. Stores which are members of the Associated Grocers participate in the program in which an amount from each item purchased from the Community Rewards fl yer over a six week period is then donated to the char-ity. Sana’aih also held two hot dog sales which the el-ders helped with to raise the funds.

Lars Sabbe has his moustache removed by Rupi Samra at the Cops for Cancer fundraiser dinner on August 29. Sabbe was one of seven local men who gave up some body hair to help raise money for kids fi ghting paedeatric cancers.

Moustache massacre makes $Ruth Lloyd Caledonia Courier

It was a full house at Stone’s Bay Pub for the annual Cops for Cancer fundraiser dinner.

The event, organized by Greg Pichler, was the most success-ful yet, raising nearly $6,200 to benefi t the Canadian Cancer So-ciety and Camp Good Times in Maple Ridge on Loon Lake, for kids with paediatric cancer.

For $20, guests were treated to a delicious steak dinner, com-plete with cake for desert.

But the real attraction was the entertainment of watching a number of brave souls volunteer to have some of their body hair removed for a good cause.

There was some great lead-up and expectations were high, with some amazing auc-tion-style encouragement by Lars Sabbe to round up some extra funds as the momentum

built up.Rupi Samra of Rupi’s Salon

and Studio was the lady with the clippers, shearing off a com-bined moustache growth of over 100 years.

Rob Garden’s 30-year-old daughter came to see the big unveiling of her father’s face, as the woman had never seen him without his moustache. He said it had been at least 36 years since he had been clean-shaven.

Mayor Rob MacDougall also had not been clean-shaven in over 20 years, and his wife Ter-ri-Lee had also never seen him without his facial hair.

The third Rob on the chop-ping block was Fire Chief Rob Bennet, and all three managed to raise hundreds of dollars, with Rob Garden raising over $600 before the night began and the crowd then ponying up even more for the fi nal event.

The generosity of the crowd

was impressive, and organizer Greg Pichler gave up his mous-tache, but also convinced his boss Staff Sergeant Paul Thal-hofer to lose some hair for the cause.

Not having a moustache, Thalhofer instead had some leg hair removed. His legs were prepped with the help of Beauty By Vengeance’s Jasmine Kend-all, but the honour of the fi nal ripping off strips of hair went to those willing to put up a little bit more cash for the cause.

Constable Mark Hilland also had his legs waxed, and had the dubious honour of going fi rst for the night.

Integris’ Credit Union was also there, with Joan Burdeni-uk helping to offi ciate. Integris Credit Union is a major con-tributor to the Tour de North event, with Integris purchasing new bikes each year for some of the riders.

LEFT: The three Robs who gave up their moustaches for a good cause. L-R Rob Garden, Rob Bennett, and Rob MacDougall were all fresh-faced and clean-shaven after a trim by Rupi Samra’s clippers. The night helped raise nearly $6,200 for the Canadian Cancer So-ciety.

Park or parking lot?Ruth LloydCaledonia Courier

Recently, one night at a little after 9 p.m., I was dropped off at home by a friend. As we drove by Cottonwood Park, there were exactly fi ve semi-trucks parked in Cottonwood

Park.Now, it is a frequent spot for semis to pull over, some for a brief time, some for longer, some for

overnight.But more and more trucks seem to be utilizing the conveniently large area for semi truck and trailer

parking.Now, Cottonwood Park is a municipal park, frequented by children, visitors to the area, and local

residents, on a daily basis.It is not often I can look out the window and not see someone walking on the beach or parked

overlooking the water.However, there are also some other things the extremely large parking area is being used for.It is a convenient spot for the drivers of large trucks to pull over, it seems, and there are few options,

and none as scenic as Cottonwood Park overlooking beautiful Stuart Lake.But when does a park become a parking lot?Initially, I was frustrated with the increasing numbers of large trucks in the park, with people walk-

ing their children and pets, kids riding bikes through the park, it just seemed like a bad situation which detracted from an other wise beautiful spot, and could possible pose a danger to the park users having to navigate around the large vehicles.

There is a bylaw in place which makes it technically against municipal law to overnight in the park,

but then I began to wonder, where else can these truckers stop to sleep?The options in such a small community are limited, and in Fort St. James it appears this is very

true.I have heard comments from Rob Garden, manager of Sana’aih Market, trucks parking behind his

store can cause problems with their delivery trucks.Now, if drivers were to continue on southbound, they have few options until they hit Vanderhoof

most likely. I only know of the one pull out area on Highway 27 heading south, and there is probably only room for a handful of trucks there, likely not the fi ve which were in Cottonwood the other night.

Now to me, this poses somewhat of a problem for the community, and while I’m not sure where exactly the responsibility lies with such a dilemma, I can say I don’t think the answer is to turn Cot-tonwood Park into a truck stop.

But perhaps options can be looked at and ideas proposed to address the problem.A pullout on Highway 27 where the new passing lane is going in might help. In terms of keeping trucks out of Cottonwood, perhaps one option for the future might be keeping

a pull-through for RVs for the waste station and then have parking along the front edge of a barrier moved back to line up with the edge of the Junkers model as far as the existing barrier fence goes would help to deter a lot of overnight parking by large trucks.

The loss of the large dirt area would only disappoint youngsters doing donuts in the park. Park-goers who want to sit in their vehicles overlooking the lake would still have a perfect view but be set back far enough they would no longer bother people using the beach itself or pose a danger to playing children and pets. Then there would not be the massive vacant lot space to attract semis to overnight, but there would still be more than enough open space for events and the grassy area for overfl ow park-ing or semis temporarily stopping on the pull-through.

Hurray for MoMEditor:

I just wanted to send a letter to the editor to con-gratulate the organizers, the sponsors and all the

volunteers for an absolutely fantastic 2012 Music on the Mountain Festival.

Good on Fort St. James for hosting and sup-porting such a wonderful weekend of music and

art - you should all be very proud. Art and culture make good communities

great! Here’s to many more successful years!

The neighbour who lives across the street from a proposed wom-en’s shelter remains concerned for their property, but will be moving.

Nadine Hoy and her husband own the home across the street from the large home purchased by Fireweed Collective Society.

Fireweed would like to have the property rezoned in order to al-low the house at 241 Second Avenue West to become the location of their women’s shelter, but was turned down in their rezoning applica-tion to the Fort St. James District and Council.

Since then, Fireweed has indicated they will be reapplying for rezon-ing of the property and is currently circulating a petition in support of the move.

Nadine Hoy, for her part, feels the petition being signed by people who won’t have to live next door to the shelter makes her feel uncom-fortable, and she wants the community to un-derstand where she’s coming from.

“It just seems like the whole town is for it and I feel like we’re drown-ing in this mess,” she said. “Nobody in Fort St. James has a problem with it, because there’s only a minimal amount of people that live here … to me, it’s unfair to say that these people on this street don’t count.”

While she an her

husband have pur-chased a new home on Necoslie Road to move out of the municipality so they can get away from these types of is-sues, they will continue to rent out the home on Second Avenue.

“The renters should have a say too, because it’s their home, it’s where they live,” she said.

With Second Avenue already a busy street with foot traffi c walking to and from the liquor store, and incidents like one where she watched a man stash a bag of needles under a nearby church, she worries the shelter will add traffi c and an even more un-healthy element.

“I just think that there’s already so much going on on this street that we don’t need to add something else to it,” she said. Hoy said she worries if the Fire-weed counselling ser-vices moved to Second Avenue, there would be even more people com-ing and going from the building. While Fire-weed said they will be putting security and have 24-hour staff on the site at the shelter, her concern is people hanging around looking for a place to go may go to nearby homes in-stead.

“And we don’t have money to put up securi-ty cameras and security and stuff like that,” she said.

Hoy believes the shelter would decrease the value of their home on Second Avenue and

will make it harder for her and her husband to fi nd renters for the suites in the home.

Hoy hoped the council, instead of simply refusing the Fireweed rezoning re-quest, would help the organization to fi nd an

alternate location.“I just think that

why can’t they build something somewhere that’s not going to effect people who are already there,” she said.

“I think that there is a need for a women’ shel-ter and I understand that

the work that they’re doing is important, but I’m just thinking about my neighbours, and I’m thinking if I was liv-ing here right now I’d be really distraught if I wasn’t able to buy a house and move,” said Hoy.

The mysterious stein

Above: This stein has piqued the curiosity of its owner and the may-or as to its origins and what era it might be from.

Caledonia Courier Photo


She found it in a thrift shop.In south Vancouver, in a

Salvation Army Thrift mart, the New Westiminister resident dis-covered a beer stein with a crest and the name Fort St. James on it.

The unique piece of Fort St. James vintage caught the wom-an’s eye, and not only because her stepson, Jeffrey Lovell, was living in Fort St. James at the time.

In fact, she herself had been to Fort St. James a couple of years ago to visit Lovell, who works for the district offi ce.

She had spent a bit of time

in the community, and had ex-pressed her frustration there were so few options for purchas-ing souvenirs with the name of the community on them.

So when she found the stein, she felt like she had hit the jack-pot, and she bought it and gave it to Lovell a coupled of months later, to prove there at least used to be someone producing local memorabilia of some kind.

But the mystery of the stein is not yet solved. No one who knows the origins of the stein has yet come forward, and so the story was suggested by Mayor Rob MacDougall himself, in the hopes someone in the com-munity might still know when or where the stein was made, and

for whom.The stein has the words

“made in the USA” and “deco-rated in Canada” on its base, and 22K gold leaf.

“I’ve never seen anything like it,” said Lovell.

The stein has been sitting on Lovell’s shelf since he returned with it, but he would like to fi nd out the mug’s history.

Was it a Royal Canadian Le-gion special creation? Was it per-haps the work of some enterpris-ing craftsman who wanted to sell something for passing tourists to remember their visit by?

If you know whence the stein came, please email: [email protected] or call 996-8233 weekdays.

Stephanie Gagnon, a 19-year-old woman who recently moved from Fort St. James has been reported missing in Ed-monton.

The young woman had left the Fort recently and was staying with her mother, Corinne Gagnon, in Edmonton.

According to her older sister Tawny Gagnon, Stephanie was last seen by her mom on Friday afternoon.

She was then reportedly at a neigh-bour’s party the same night, but after an argument with someone at the party, she left and was last seen by a neighbour in the back alley at 5 a.m. Saturday morning with a purple suitcase and her grey purse.

A man she was with at the party re-turned her cell phone and some personal items the next day, another cause for con-cern by her family.

“It’s not normal for her not to come into contact with anyone,” said Tammy. She said Stephanie normally would not go anywhere without her cell phone ei-ther.

RCMP were not yet involved in the in-vestigation because as an adult Stephanie can come and go as she pleases, however if no one had heard from her by Tuesday RCMP were going to enter into an inves-tigation.

Stephanie still has family and friends in the Fort St. James area, and anyone

who hears from her should contact RCMP or her sister Tammy Gagnon at 250-552-4400.


NEWSCourierBusy weekend for

RCMPRuth Lloyd Caledonia Courier

It was a busy weekend for Fort St. James RCMP.

On Aug. 24, a woman reported an as-sault by her boyfriend at 11:30 p.m..

She reportedly had been punched in the face, dragged behind an ATV and then taken and confined to the man’s residence until she could escape.

RCMP are seeking a warrant for the suspect’s arrest. Both the victim and as-sailant are residents of Tache Reserve.

Also on Aug. 25, at 11:47 p.m., RCMP were called to a complaint at No. 11 Eagle Court.

An alleged argument between a brother and sister caused the father to intervene. The suspect then chased the father out of the house with a kitchen knife and when RCMP arrived, they reportedly found the father with his left ear cut up.

RCMP then located the suspect and ar-rested him.

While family members were not willing to come forward, there were enough other witnesses of the incident for RCMP to go forward with charges against the suspect for aggravated assault, breach of recog-nizance, and break and enter with intent. The suspect remained in custody until

Aug. 28, when he will appear in court.Aug. 26, at 2 a.m., RCMP were called

to Stuart Lake Hospital.A man had been dropped off who had

been severely injured and was then taken to Prince George Hospital by ambulance. The person dropping him off said he had found the man on the side of the Tachie Highway.

He had life-threatening injuries which required operation immediately to deal with internal bleeding and tears in his bowels.

The victim reportedly did not recall what had happened, however his vehicle was recovered on Monday and appeared to have driven off the road on the Tachie Highway, not having made a corner.

The RCMP believe alcohol to have been a factor in the incident and will be sending their report to ICBC.

On Aug. 26, RCMP were called to Nak’azdli Reserve at 7:46 p.m..

Two males had reportedly been fight-ing, and one was alleged to be wielding an axe.

RCMP found an adult male with a lac-eration to his upper lip and then located the suspect who they subsequently ar-rested.

The suspect was held in custody and would be appearing in court on Aug. 28.

We are very pleased to be serving commu-nities in the Nechako Region. The College of New Caledonia (CNC) is involved in many initiatives that meet community educational and so-cial services needs. CNC Nechako lives by the college’s mis-sion statement as be-ing “a comprehensive college, providing access to lifelong learning to facilitate in the achievement of personal and educa-tional goals. We are responsive to the di-verse needs of our cli-ents, our employees, and the communities of our region. In the dynamic, consulta-tive environment, we deliver quality pro-grams and promote the success of every student”.

C N C - N e c h a k o Region includes campuses in Fort St. James, Vanderhoof and Fraser Lake; it has been serving adult learners in the respec-tive communities for more than 30 years. The regional cam-puses serve 12 multi-cultural communities of varying sizes with a total population of over 18,000 in a geo-graphical area cover-ing 1,105,900 hect-ares – half the size of Vancouver Island.

The role of CNC-Nechako is to equip learners to identify and meet the complex and evolving needs of their communi-ties in ways that are culturally appropri-ate, economically and socially relevant, and wholly refl ective of the adult learner. In addition to providing education opportuni-ties the community campuses provide many social programs that benefi t our local youth, adults, and se-niors/elders.

Our vocational education program offerings develop and strengthen a variety of employability skills for individuals seek-ing to enter and re-enter the workplace.

The Administrative Assistant Certifi cate program is one exam-ple of a program that is truly a career kick-starter for many of the graduates. Many of the graduates have a job to go to before they have completed the program, or soon after!

The Nechako cam-puses are working closely with mining companies to en-sure we are deliver-ing training relevant to their needs. The Mining Resource In-dustry Certifi cate, Drill Core Technician and Surface Diamond Driller’s Helper will continue to be de-livered at both our Vanderhoof and Fort St. James campuses. The Mineral Pro-cessing Operator is a new training program available this fall for individuals interested in mine processing employment opportu-nities.

Through the Min-istry of Jobs, Tourism and Innovation - Em-ployment Skills Ac-cess funding, campus-es have successfully delivered fulltime training programs for Industrial Field Medic, Basic Secu-rity, Essential Offi ce Skills, Resources Based Industries, Lumber Manufactur-ing, and Environmen-tal Field Assistant. Due to the popularity of the Targeted Initia-tive for Older Work-ers (TIOW), all three campuses have offered multiple deliveries in Fort St. James, Fraser Lake and Vanderhoof. This very successful program is directed to unemployed workers age 50 to 64 years of age where they up-date their skill sets that builds confi dence in their ability to se-cure future employ-ment.

The Aviation and Business Certifi cate program started in September 2011. The Aviation program called PilotPlus and is the only one offered in the north and pre-

pares new commer-cial pilots for imme-diate employment as pilots in command in single engine aircraft operations with small and mid-level aviation companies. The Col-lege has an agreement with the University of the Fraser Valley and Coastal Pacifi c Avia-tion to transfer to a full four year bach-elor’s degree in Avia-tion Business. The Aviation program uti-lizes two-state-of-the-art full motion fl ying simulators and is now expanding to offer a range of shorter length courses.

Partnership and cooperation are key elements to the suc-cess of CNC Nechako Region; each initia-tive includes estab-lishing multiple part-nerships that assist us in addressing pro-gramming require-ments that meet the economic and social needs in the commu-nities we serve. Due to our commitment to social community development, we have taken the lead to support programs such as Neighbour-hood Space, Seniors Connected, the Van-derhoof Youth Centre,

Fort St. James and Vanderhoof Commu-nity Adult Literacy Program (CALP) and ESL among other initiatives. All these have demonstrated to be very positive for participants as they become more engaged in their own communities.

CNC’s staff in Fort St. James, Fraser Lake and Vanderhoof are involved in the community and par-ticipates in several local community or-ganizations, includ-ing the Chamber of Commerce, Good Neighbours Commit-tee, Fort St. James Pioneer Place Hous-ing Society, Nechako Valley Community Social Services, Fort St. James Community Foundation Society, Literacy Now Task Group, Success By Six, Nechako Valley Food Network, B.C. Cattlemen’s Associa-tion, Central Interior Feeder Cattle As-sociation, Enbridge Community Advisory Board (CAB), OBAC Agricultural Imple-mentation Committee, Nechako Community Arts Council, Mount Milligan Community Sustainability Com-

mittee, Fort St. James Indicators for Mining Community Health and Sustainability Committee, and Fort

St. James Community Literacy Task Com-mittee.

These partnerships speak to the active in-

volvement and com-mitment to support diverse initiatives that benefi t the College communities.

Pets need peopleFort St. James Humane Society still working to complete shelter and keep going


Education is the key to many things, and the Fort St. James Humane Society is hoping it might be the key to improving the lives of pets in Fort.

The group is reinventing itself after founder Angela McLaren has moved to Prince George and a new board of di-rectors has since taken up the job.

The group was created in 2008 to help to provide a much-needed service in the communi-ty helping to deal with area cats and stray or wandering dogs on Nak’azdli and other places outside the District of Fort St. James municipal boundaries.

Monica Grill of Nahounli Kennels has a long-standing contract with the municipality to pick up stray dogs within their boundaries, but there was a need for something to be done outside of the municipality as well and so the society was created to fi ll the void.

The group does a huge job, dealing with stray cats and dogs, fi nding foster homes for the animals, keeping the animals fed and taken care of and ensuring they get veterinary care until the animals can hopefully be adopted out. The society now has a partnership with the store Petland, and the store makes spaces available to put pets from the society up for adoption.

It’s a never-ending job and one which continues to grow as awareness about the society also grows.

The group is funded partially by a contract with Nak’azdli Band to do animal control and transport animals to be spayed or neutered, as well as by donations and various fundraising activities.

The group, run by volunteers who also have full-time jobs of their own already, are continuing to struggle to raise the funds to help complete a shelter so they can more properly accom-modate dogs and cats year-round.

Currently, there are two catteries and a basic building shell for a permanent shelter, but no money to fi nish the electrical, plumbing and fi nal construction to make them year-round fa-cilities.

The group is now working on raising $10,000 to get power

and water to the buildings, but now they’re struggling to keep operational because they need more volunteers and more members for their board of directors, which they say is very rewarding work, and would be much less demanding if they had just a few more people to share the load.

“We all really enjoy it,” said Monica Sillje, one of the board members.Every day volunteers go out and clean the shelters and play with the dogs.They also hold some fundraisers throughout the year, with an annual Feasts for Beasts

dinner, which this year raised $1,700 and some bingo night raffl e tables and bake sales. Pet-land has also helped out the society and raised over $1,000 this year at an adoption event.

The group also collects bottles at the local bottle depot, so funds from bottles returned can be donated to the society and offers bartending services for events to help raise funds that way.

But the many fundraising efforts still have the group a long way from the total of $30,000 it would take to completely fi nish the shelter and have it providing year-round space for the animals. Right now, animals are fostered out over the winter, and there are far less spaces in the months when animals need the most help.

The group is now developing a strategic plan with Emily Colombo, economic develop-ment offi cer with the District of Fort St. James, and hoping they can fi nd more people to help with the growing need.

“We’re struggling,” said Sillje. The group also puts out a monthly newsletter and main-tains a web presence with a Humane Society Facebook Page.

To contact the group or for more information call 996-3370 or go to www.fsjhs.org.
