A blockade of some forest service roads in Tl’azt’en Nation territory was down on Friday after a week of action by some keyoh-holders in the area.

A group of keyoh holders were blockading the Leo Creek Forest Service Road and temporarily the Tanizul Forest Service Road as well over their frustration with the management of the resources in their keyoh.

The group agreed to bring down the blockade pending fur-ther discussions with the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Re-source Management and others.

Meetings have been set up for later this month.

Keyohs are areas of land man-aged by hereditary inheritance, a system of the Carrier peoples of the area predating contact with Eu-ropeans. An area is handed down through a family for food gathering through hunt-ing, trapping, fishing and berry-picking.

“We don’t want industry to destroy what we have left,” said Charlie Joseph, one of the keyoh-holders of the Nesanye keyoh in the area.

“There’s too much hunting. Our way of life is being infringed on,” said Alex Jo-seph, another member of the keyoh-hold-er group and a resident of Middle River.

The roadblock, set up at the 2 km point on the Leo Creek Road, was be-ing manned by a shifting group of about a dozen people through the week. The group was not letting any logging, min-ing-related, gas pipeline or hunting traffic through into the area. A blockade on the Tanizul FSR only lasted part of Thursday morning.

“We just went ahead and did it,” said Alex Joseph.

He said the loggers, Ministry of For-ests, Lands and Natural Resource Opera-tions and the RCMP had all been respect-ing the blockade. “Which we appreciate.”

The sign at the junction of the Tachie Road and the Leo Creek Forest Service Road had been defaced with derogatory comments, however. Someone had spray-painted “Hey, got two bucks” and another had spray-painted “No Indians.”

The blockaders’ demands were not specific, but Charlie Joseph said while compensation for some of the resource extraction and exploration has been going to chief and council, his group of keyoh-holders have not seen any benefits.

“Some sort of agreement must be made with us keyoh-holders,” he said. “If it’s monetary, let it be monetary. If it’s some sort of economic venture, we could start something along those lines.”

He suggested opportunities for those in the area to again own cattle and have access to forest range opportunities would be beneficial.

“I’m always saying to industry, if you take away from our resources, there has to be compensation.”

He said money or restocking of the re-sources and fixing the salmon spawning beds are all options.

“I remember as a kid going up the Tache River … you could look up the river and all you could see were the backs of salmon,” said Charlie Joseph, who blames logging-related siltation in the salmon beds for the depletion of the fish-ery in the area.

The group at the roadblock claimed they had the support of the Tl’azt’en chief and council, however a member of the Tl’azt’en Nation elected council said Tl’azt’en did not sanction the blockade.

Josh Hallman, chair of the Binche Separation Committee, also made the clarification Binche keyoh-holders were not involved in the blockade at all.

He said individual keyoh-holders ap-peared to be representing themselves.

“I’m sure they do have legitimate con-cerns,” he said. “But they don’t have the mandates from all the keyoh holders to blockade.”

Other keyoh-holders from the region were also at the blockade in support of the action, and said they were considering blockading their keyoh areas to support what is being done at the Leo Creek For-est Service Road.

Terry West of the Northwest arm keyoh said he was going to sit down with his family and see about shutting down their area across Takla Lake.

The logging in his family’s keyoh goes towards Houston he said.

Another member of the blockade, Ted, who asked not to give his last name, said the defacement of the sign at the Leo Creek Forest Service Road and the Tachie Road was disrespectful of the keyoh-holders.

“Who does that,” he said. “We’ve had respect all these years.”

Injunction granted The blockade of the Leo Creek Road

was impacting some logging and mining exploration work in the area, hunters were turned back, and the workers staying at the Leo Creek logging camp had to be redi-rected to the Stuart Lake Logging Camp.

MaryAnne Arcand of the Central In-terior Logging Association (CILA) said the blockade was impacting logging con-tractors, and as many as seven contractors were losing an estimated combined total of

$560,000 a day during the blockade.CILA had gone to court on Fri-

day to get an injunction against the protestors, which was granted the same day, but just after the blockade was taken down voluntarily.

“We’re happy the roadblock is down and we are fully expecting business as usual starting Monday,” she said. “It if does go back up next week we will be enforcing the in-junction.”

She said they would apply to expand the injunction if roadblocks were put up on other area roads as well.

“The province is aware of the concerns of Dzit’lain’li Community Keyoh holders of Tl’azt’en Nation regarding resource activity in their traditional territory,” said Brennan Clarke, ministry spokesperson in an email statement. “These issues have been the subject of ongoing discus-sions over the summer between the Tl’azt’en chief and band council,

the keyoh holders, the Ministry of Forests Lands and Natural Resource Operations and the Ministry of Aboriginal Affairs and Reconciliation.”

“The province’s efforts to engage the Tl’azt’en Nation in discussions and resolve concerns over resource extraction in their traditional territory are continuing,” said Clarke

Tl’azt’en Nation did not immediately respond to interview requests.

Six years laterFort St. James RCMP are asking

for the public’s assistance with a miss-ing person’s case as it marks the six year anniversary and the investigation remains open.

Six years ago Bonnie Marie Jo-seph was last seen by her family in the Vanderhoof area of British Columbia.

Joseph was known to be very inde-pendent and traveled frequently from her home town of Fort St. James to the Vanderhoof and Prince George areas of B.C.

She was last seen by family in Sep-tember of 2007 and reported missing in December after friends and family had not heard from her.

“The RCMP continue to search for answers into the disappearance of Bonnie Joseph,” said Cst. Lesley Smith, North District media relations officer.

“We have no leads as to whether Bonnie got a ride with a friend, hitch-hiked or took a bus to a nearby com-munity,” she said. “We are hoping someone may recognize her photo and shed some light on this six-year mystery.”

Bonnie Marie Joseph, known as “Bonnie M”, at the time of her disap-pearance was described as:

• 31 years old • 5’4” tall • 120 lbs • short brown hair • brown eyesIf you have any information in

marijuana grow op bustRuth LloydCaledonia Couriter

On the morning of Thursday, Sept. 12, RCMP busted a marijuana grow operation on Pinchi Road near Fort St. James.

After an investigation of the property, RCMP had been issued a search warrant, and in the process of executing the warrant, found the 67 marijuana plants as well as four pounds of dried marijuana.

One adult male was taken into custody by the RCMP and has since been released on a promise to appear in court.

RCMP are recommending charges of cultivation of a narcotic and possession of a narcotic to the Crown.

RCMP estimate the plants would have produced around the equivalent of 6,700 joints.

Tears for Justice in Fort St. James


A van plastered with posters and photos was drawing attention to a very important cause on its route through Fort St. James last week.

A group of volunteers taking part in the Tears for Justice walk, which began June 21 in Nova Scotia, were helping to bring attention to the missing and murdered women from across Canada.

The walkers were hosted by Nak’azdli First Nation, which donat-ed food, gas, motel rooms and a $700 cheque towards the project. They also held a raf� e and were continuing to take in donations last week.

“This band helped us immensely,” said Gladys Radek, founder of the Tears for Justice walk.

The group is on their way to Prince Rupert, in an effort to create continued interest in the many miss-ing women � les across the country and especially along the Highway of Tears.

Radek, who is from Moricetown, is no stranger to the Highway of Tears story and families missing loved ones.

Radek’s own niece went missing eight years ago.

Tamara Lynn Chipman was 22 years old when she disappeared, leav-ing behind a young son, who is now 11 years old.

“What are they doing I ask?” said Radek.

She was also critical of the Im-maculate Basil search and what she saw as the lack of effort on the part of the RCMP.

“Something could have been done,” said Radek.

Radek feels not enough is being done by authorities to work on miss-ing � rst nations women’s cases.

“They have to be willing to work with us,” she said. “We’re not just In-dians, we’re human beings.”

Radek wanted to draw attention to cases like Basil’s, and driving around in a van literally covered in posters and photos of missing and murdered women, she is doing just that.

She also has some company on her journey.

With her are a group of ever-changing supporters from across the country.

William Dick joined the walk in Ottawa on July 6.

“I thought it would be good for unity,” said Dick, who joined as the

second man in the group at the time.Dick said he thinks a lot about the

kids who have been left behind by the missing women, perhaps partly be-cause his own mother was killed by a vehicle when he was nine years old.

His aunt and grandmother also both passed away soon after, and so he was adopted.

Kelly Hoole from Winnepeg spent 27 years as a sex trade worker in Winnepeg, and is now walking with the group. Hoole now works as an outreach worker, helping people get off the streets, and was inspired to join the walk after having lost a friend in the sex trade.

NEWSCourierA Mother’s BlessingRuth LloydCaledonia Courier

Crystal Charlotte Easton spent days creating it, and many admired it, but in the end, only one person could have it.

The original painting “A Mother’s Blessing” was done by Easton over the duration of the Music on the Mountain festi-val at Murray Ridge from August 23-25.

Easton returned this year, after having done a similar event last year at the festival, in which her painting was silent auc-tioned off to the highest bidder.

This year, tickets were sold over the duration of the festival as the painting came to life and after were available in town.

It was only $5 for a chance to be the proud owner of the original work of art, and many people were purchasing a number of tickets, hoping to be the lucky winner.

The draw took place at the Stuart Lake Golf Course on Sept. 1, and the winner of the painting was Darlyn Alec of Quesnel.

Lionel Conant, president of MoM, said when he told Alec she had won, she said she had been dreaming of it all week-end.

Part of the proceeds of the raf� e went to the Music on the Mountain Society, which added up to around $500 and Easton waived her $500 performer fee for the event as well.

campaignEditor:

The last few weeks The Courier has been reporting on the conflict between two female volunteer fire-fighters from the fire department and Fire Chief Rob Bennett.

I was shocked at the amount of information each week that was posted about the allegations against Mr. Bennett by his accusers during, what appeared to be, an ongoing investigation.

What are the District of Fort St. James’ policies around confidentiality and an employee’s rights to a fair process?

This came across as a one-sided, subjective ac-count of someone’s actions.

Placing this information in the paper against the fire chief before any firm conclusions had been reached by the District appears to have been a smear campaign.

Whether Mr. Bennett is guilty of the offences de-scribed or not, I feel he should have still had the same right as the women that were accusing him to a fair, confidential and unbiased assessment of the situation.

Playing this out in the community newspaper has put Mr. Bennett at a distinct disadvantage, as the ac-cused many times carry the stigma forever whether the accusations are ever substantiated or not.

Looking over the 120-plus signatures that Cin-dy and I gathered last Wednesday (in less than four hours I might add) makes me so proud of us in Fort St. James!

So many names, all familiar - friends, family and acquaintances - makes the heart go warm and fuzzy and we thank you all.

A nice surprise was when a retired RCMP of-ficer stopped by and gladly signed our petition.

Also, a much love retired nurse. Thank you sir and thank you ma’am.

Send your friends.We will be up town again this Wednesday and

hopefully most of the Wednesdays left in our 90-day campaign.

A terrific start for a cause whose time has fi-nally come.

Registered voters interested in supporting Sen-sible B.C. may stop in and sign.

I have great faith in our town, so I know we’ll be seeing you.

Thanks again to all our supporters - let’s make this happen.

Still summer, for now


It appears I was premature in dreaming about winter powder towards the end of August.

The cool weather as August closed out got me men-tally preparing for the long hard in-between season be-fore the mountain once again consumes my weekends in leg-burning happiness.

However, instead, there has been sunshine sans sweat-ers, with more beach time.

While the dropping water level has made the wade out to swim a more involved affair, there are still beautifully warm and inviting water temperatures.

But instead of pulling the bikini back out of the draw-er, I’ve taken to mountain biking, motorbiking and more renovation work.

While the cool breath of fall is definitely sliding in through open windows as morning breaks, the days are still warm enough for open doors and t-shirts under leather on motorbike rides.

I can enjoy the cool air from under the duvet and know the day will thaw the chill from my bones.

Of course, it is making it hard to focus on things like preparing for the long winter by harvesting my garden and wood gathering, but I’m not complaining.

Farmer tan here I come.


Dennis Cumberland recently brought home a little piece of local history, thanks to the world wide web.

The bene� ts of the global village al-lowed Cumberland to � nd four copies of Father Adrien Gabriel Morice's Carrier Language: A Grammar and Dictionary, printed in 1932, two of which he bought for himself.

Father Morice was an oblate mission-ary who served with the Catholic Church at Our Mother of Good Hope and the Stu-art Lake Mission in Fort St. James, after being in Williams Lake at St. Joseph's.

The dictionary, bought online and sent to Cumberland from Germany, was one of a few books Morice published on the lo-cal Carrier peoples and Morice was well known for his work on the language, as he helped to create the � rst written version of Carrier (Dakelh) using syllabics.

Morice spent many years in and around the area studying the local � rst nations. He published some of his research in French and some in English. Morice

was born in France.Cumberland also has a copy of the

book Notes archaeological, industrial and sociological on the Western Dene by Morice which was inscribed by David Boyle.

Boyle is considered by some the "grandfather of Canadian archaeology

and the inscription was written for George Dorsey, who was the head of the Chicago Museum.

Morice used the proceeds of one of his books to purchase the printing press which he had while in Fort St. James and used to print reading material for the local people.

BC Chamber joins legal push for open bordersThe BC Chamber of Commerce has joined litigation � led in a U.S. court to push back against border measures that pose a serious risk for B.C. businesses and tourists. Currently, British Columbians heading to the U.S. for business or tour-ism purposes face a border regime that empowers border guards, at their own discretion and without avenue for appeal, to bar Canadians entry to the U.S. for periods of � ve years or more under an “expedited removal” process. “This draconian regime � ies in the face of open borders and Canada’s long-standing friendship and trading relationship with our neighbours to the south,” said John Winter, president and CEO of the BC Chamber of Commerce. “As our countries strive towards new levels of co-operation through the Beyond the Border Action Plan, these harsh border rules need to be � xed.” Winter added that the border rules pose a particular threat to B.C. businesses. “If an overzeal-ous U.S. border guard targets a B.C. CEO or other key company personnel for expedited removal, that company’s business with the U.S. risks grinding to a halt,” Winter said.

The BC Chamber of Commerce has joined with the Bellingham/Whatcom Chamber of Commerce, the Northwest Economic Council and Paci� c Corridor Enterprise Council to � le an “amicus brief” in a case pending before a U.S. ap-peals court (the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals). That case concerns the issue of whether a Canadian citizen seeking entry to the U.S. can be subject to expe-dited removal by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP).

An amicus brief is a legal vehicle that allows parties who are not involved in a speci� c legal action to provide courts with additional information pertaining to the case that’s before the courts. Greg Boos is the Bellingham-based immi-gration attorney who authored the amicus brief on behalf of the BC Chamber and the other involved parties. “Allowing CBP to make unreviewable deter-minations of admissibility into the U.S. invites abuse of discretion,” Boos said. Recent border situations in the Paci� c Northwest where Canadians have been placed into expedited removal have involved Canadians seeking entry to the U.S. to attend meetings, visit vacation homes or engage in other travel into the United States.

Market research and analysis and its importance for your business. Successful businesses have extensive knowledge of their customers and their competitors. Market research is the process of gathering information which will make you more aware of how the people you hope to sell to will react to your current or potential products or ser-vices. Whether you are aware of it or not, as a business owner you conduct market research all the time. When you talk to customers about your business or check out the prices of your competitors you are conducting market research. Formalizing the process can produce a wealth of information about your products and services, your customers and the market-place you operate in. The level of complexity used in your market research campaign is up to you, as market research can cover a broad spectrum of activities. You can undertake simple activities that can be done on your own, such as creating a short customer satisfaction questionnaire or studying demographic data for your area, or undertake complex ones that require assistance from a professional market research firm. Regardless of the size of your market research budget, the time you have available or your level of experience, some form of market research is possible and it can help you to improve your business decisions. Why conduct market research? Product — Improve your product or service based on findings about what your customers really want and need. Focus on things like function, appearance and customer service or warranties. Price — Set a price based on popular profit margins, competitors' prices, financing options, or the price a customer is willing to pay. Placement — Decide where to set up and how to distribute a product. Compare the charac-teristics of different locations and the value of points of sale (retail, wholesale, online). Promotion — Figure out how to best reach particular market segments (teens, families, students, professionals, etc.) in areas of advertising and publicity, social media, and brand-ing.

Cities in revolt over new recycling costs

Jeff NagelBlack Press

Cities across B.C. are crying foul over the rollout of a new recycling agency that the pro-vincial government has put in charge of blue box pick up.

Multi-Material B.C. (MMBC), an industry steward-ship group made up of major retailers and producers, is set to take responsibility for collecting and recycling packaging of all sorts by next May as a result of new provincial regulations.

It has promised to let interest-ed municipalities continue to run their own recycling operations by acting as contractor, if that’s what they prefer.

But the cities say the prices offered by MMBC are far too low to cover their costs and that other terms are unreasonable, starting with a take-it-or-leave-it signing deadline of Sept. 16.

“I’ve never seen a contract come through as one-sided as what they’ve done with this,” Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan said.

“The idea you’re going to come in and replace our pro-

grams and take over recycling is out of line – most municipalities are really concerned about that.”

Cities fear they’ll lose money if they continue providing the service their residents expect un-der the pricing structure MMBC has offered for recyclables.

They can opt to decline a con-tract and MMBC will contract recycling pick up out as it sees � t, but the many mayors fear that.

The Lower Mainland mayors predict many cities will reject the deal as offered now and demand action from provincial govern-ment ministers at next week’s Union of B.C. Municipalities convention, which opens on the day of MMBC’s deadline.

Prince George has already refused MMBC’s contract offer, as has Coquitlam, where Mayor Richard Stewart warned in a letter to Polak that “Coquitlam council is gravely concerned that no reputable collector would concede to these conditions and this would inevitably lead to an unacceptable degradation of the existing quality of service.”

One objection is MMBC’s re-quirement that loads of recycla-

bles contain no more than three per cent contamination of other materials.

MMBC managing director Allen Langdon rejects claims the proposed contracts short-change cities on collection costs, adding programs in 23 cities were re-viewed to determine fair pricing.

“We think those costs, based on our research, provide for compensation for an ef� cient and effective system,” Langdon said.

He said cities that don’t like how the system unfolds can ter-minate their contracts without penalty on six months notice, or opt for dispute resolution.

Langdon also defended the short notice for cities to sign up, saying timelines are tight to identify collectors and line up processors in time for a May 19 launch.

Note: District of Fort St. James mayor and council voted to reject the MMBC offer to take on recycling in Fort St. James at their latest council meeting last week, citing concerns over unan-swered questions and concerns over projected costs to taxpay-ers.
