Region’s living wage now known Minimum hourly earning needed to live in Vanderhoof, Fort St. James, and Quesnel is calculated for the first time Vivian Chui Omineca Express We now know how much a family needs to earn per hour to cover basic expenses in Vanderhoof and surrounding communities, according to a local credit union. Calculated for the first time in north central B.C. by Integris Credit Union based on the Living Wage for Families Campaign’s equations, the area’s living wage — the hourly amount that covers basic living costs such as food, clothing, shelter, and transportation — in 2015 is $16.82/hour. “It’s a scenario that tries to encompass as much

as possible,” said Cori Ramsay, the project’s spearhead. The equation includes food data from B.C.’s dietitians, the region’s rent and transportation costs according to Canadian government data, as well as daycare costs and post-secondary education for families with children. Originally calculated for Prince George, the amount can be applied to Fort St. James, Vanderhoof, and Quesnel, Ramsay noted, upon consultation with the Living Wage for Families Campaign staff. “A lot of smaller communities are having trouble doing these equations, just because there’s not enough data,” she said. “For example, the CMHC might not do housing assessment for Vanderhoof.” Despite the lack of specific data for certain communities, the figure would not be far off, Ramsay said.
Integris’ Cori Ramsay, with a background in social work stuides, led the project.

Three Vanderhoof men are now facing charges for Prince George’s first murder of the year. Jordan McLeod from Prince George was killed on Upper Fraser Road on Jan.16, 2015, according to the city’s RCMP. Sebastian Martin was arrested earlier last week on the Saik’uz Reserve south of Vanderhoof, while brothers Darren and Kurtis Sundman have been in police custody since February for other matters, said Cpl. Wade Harvey from the RCMP’s detachment in Vanderhoof. Harvey noted that while the three were known to the police before, the Sundman brothers have been previously charged for activity in Vanderhoof, Prince George, Quesnel, and even as far south as Merritt. “This was a very comprehensive investigation that spanned multiple jurisdictions,” said Sgt. Todd Wilson, Serious Crime Unit Commander of Prince George RCMP. “Along with the Detachment General Investigative Services and our Major Crime Unit, we were assisted by RCMP Officers from Vanderhoof, Quesnel, Williams Lake, Merritt, the North District Major Crime Unit, BC Provincial Interview Team, Prince George General Duty Members, and the Prince George Police Dog Service Unit, which spent countless hours in assisting us while we were looking for Jordan.” On Jan.19, McLeod was reported missing. Three days later, his body was found by a man dog-walking northwest of the city by Kaykay Forest Service Road and past the end of Nukko Lake Road.

Work those axes, rock’em bulls, Fall Fair’s in town! This year’s exhibition has no shortage of new events for loyal participants to look forward to, along with tried and true classic shows, competitions, and music throughout the weekend
The Hot Saw Race will be one of the many events offered by the West Coast Lumberjack Shows this weekend. SUBMITTED photo
Vivian Chui Omineca Express Are you ready to mark this summer with untamable bulls and ax-swinging lumberjacks? New action-filled events for all are coming to town as the annual Nechako Exhibition and Fall Fair turns almost half a century old this weekend. Mechanical bulls and West Coast lumberjack shows are the key new events, among many others, to watch out for this weekend, said Richard Wruth, co-chair of the exhibition. Brand new to Vanderhoof are mechanical bulls, on which challengers will try to stay as long as possible while on-lookers cheer them on. “Not too many people can ride it over eight seconds!” Wruth said. They will stand ready for all teenagers and adults to try all day Saturday, while a mechanical calf may be available for the younger but no less energetic cowboys and cowgirls. Another new addition to the fair lineup is the Traditional West Coast Lumberjack Show happening multiple times throughout the weekend, featuring four professional lumberjack athletes throwing axes and carving with chainsaws, among other logging feats.
“We’ve been talking about it and they are all over [the province], but we’re able to get them here this year,” said Wruth. The exhibition will also play host, for the first time, to B.C.‘s largest beef show of the year, with 120 cattle in the lineup. Other special events include heavy horse pulls, individually on Friday and in teams on Sunday. Despite its great success last year, the Fall Fair Parade will be cancelled due to lack of volunteers for marshalling the parade, which follows the same route as its counterpart in Christmas, through downtown Vanderhoof. More information can be found on www.nvesociety.com or in the 2015 Fall Fair Booklet distributed at various Vanderhoof locations.

Legebokoff to receive more time for appeal
More parties, more cops on the road Drivers in Vanderhoof and Fort St. James will see more police attention on the road for the coming weekend. With the arrival of both the annual Nechako Valley Exhibition and Fall Fair, as well as Music on the Meadow festival in Fort St. James, the area’s RCMP will increase enforcement to encourage drivers to make good decisions and drive safely. There was already increased police activity last week in light of the Metallion Festival, which featured Western Canada’s rock and heavy metal bands at the nearby Brookside Resort. Though it was a non-licensed event, the police would like to encourage drivers to not drive under the influence of alcohol.
Numbers down, animals out The Vanderhoof RCMP detachment lodged 78 files and received 12 prisoners in the past seven days — both figures have decreased from the week before. Calls for service included a collection of animal calls such as nuisance dogs and horses on the highway, as well as possession of controlled substances.
NEWS Man convicted for four murders around Prince George five years ago gets extension for appeal; reasons include injustice caused while applying for trial venue change
Convicted serial killer Cody Legebokoff has been granted an extension which will allow a February appeal of his convictions to proceed. The B.C. Court of Appeal granted the extension on August 6. Normally the time limit for an appeal would be 30 days from his conviction, which occurred on September 16, 2014. However, Legebokoff’s counsel asked for leniency, and was allowed to file an appeal on February 12 of this year. Legebokoff’s lawyers have cited two miscarriages of justice as the basis for the appeal of the four life sentences handed down to their client. One relates to a change of venue application, the other to Cody Legebokoff was charged with four counts of murder Legebokoff’s right to be represented by the counsel of his choice throughout the between 2009 and 2010. SUBMITTED photo proceedings.
The twenty-five-year old was sentenced to life in prison without eligibility for parole for 25 years for the first degree murders of Stacey Stuchenko (35), Natasha Montgomery (24), Cynthia Maas (35), and Loren Leslie (15) in and around Prince George in 2009 and 2010. Doug Leslie, Loren’s father, calls Legebokoff a “narcissist and sociopath” and believes the appeal is an attempt to hurt people once more. He also calls the move a “last ditch effort”, and believes that Legebokoff will never be released. However, he says that bringing the case back into the public eye will help serve as a reminder and warning that there are more people like Legebokoff out there. “On a positive note, that’s the way you gotta look at it.” Barbara Roden
Stormy clouds up, movie is UP Pay matches need INTEGRIS, continued from page 1
The district’s first official outdoor movie gets accompanying special effects from nature Vivian Chui Omineca Express 300 people braved rain-threatening clouds at Vanderhoof’s first outdoor movie screening at Ferland Park last Wednesday. It’s the District of Vanderhoof’s first year having Movie in the Park. “[People] came in early and kept coming,” Tom Clement, the Director of Community Development said. As light disappeared from the sky, the audience was welcomed with the animated movie “UP” for the event’s launch, featuring a 78-year-old balloon salesman about to fulfill his life-long traveling dream. It took more than a year to including acquiring the equipment and the large screen. Clement noted that the event made good use of the park’s stage for family events. The outdoor screening will take place every two weeks until school resumes — there will be two more films for this summer.

Show times would be moved back to 8:00 p.m. for the next movie and then 7:30 p.m. for the last, to take advantage of the earlier night fall. Clement does not know what the next movie will be yet, but he said it will always be a family movie that is two to three years old — to be mindful of and avoid interfering with related businesses in the area. He had promoted the event with a single post on the Vanderhoof Community Message Board on Facebook, and with its great response, he will continue to advertise the movie series on the social media channel. For Vanderhoof citizen Ken Young, who provided a live update of the event on the message board, the light sprinkling of rain during the storm scene contributed to cinematic experience by “added realism.” He also dubbed the event “Flicks in Ferland.” Movies’ ever-present partner in crime popcorn was also available on site from Integris Credit Union staff by donation, with all proceeds going to Cops for Cancer. Aug. 26 will be the next Movie in the Park.
“Like the costs of transportation, you don’t have public transportation, you might be paying a bit more, but the rent might be a bit less,” she said. But do we make enough from our work to live here? “In terms of job openings from last year, about a quarter of job vacancies are under that level,” said Robin Work, general manager of Work BC’s branch in Vanderhoof. However, Work added, wages have been increasing with the cost of living in the area. “Out of all job postings, only 5% are offering minimum wage,” said Work. “The vast majority of employers would have no trouble being certified.” Though Integris is the first certified Living Wage Employer in the area, most businesses are likely already paying a living wage to their employee, taking into consideration work benefits packages, said Alex Castley, Integris’ manager of talent acquisition and development. “A lot of people we’ve talked to said no way, but the calculation involved wage and benefits,” Castley said. “It’s more in reach than it may appear first hand.”

OPINION
Published by Black Press Ltd at 150 West Columbia Street, Vanderhoof, BC V0J 3A0
Hello, Vanderhoof! You might have seen me already, wiggling my toes on the groomed golf fairway. Or in the corner of your eye, you might have glimpsed my black hair as I ambled through the Riverside Trail. I thrive on local vegetation — this week’s tomatoes and beans are deliciously sweet — and smoked meats. My natural habitat is ten hours south of Vanderhoof, but I have travelled earlier and in the opposite direction from the fall migration. I can usually be spotted creeping through the streets of Vanderhoof with my camera ready, notebook and pen out, or in one of my lairs on West Columbia Street. Yes, it’s me, the new reporter and editor of the Omineca Express! Hailing from Vancouver, or more fondly dubbed Raincouver, where water restrictions and hipsters reign at the moment, I have come “up north”, as my friends and family say, to stake claims and seek my fortune. But I now know Vanderhoof is actually the geographical centre of beautiful British Columbia! As I was driving in, and having never been ever north of Kamloops — though my mother has tried to remind me of family trips to Barkerville and Williams Lake — I can’t help wonder how green the region is. The Pacific Ocean waters are now replaced by the seemingly endless sea of forests, and I’m finding comfort in the embrace of the rolling hills, as well blue skies that seem to hang so close to the vast green fields. I look forward to learning much more about the Nechako Valley and the people, that is YOU! If you see me in the grocery store, please say hi and be ready for an onslaught of curious questioning and inquisitive probing. If you have a story or an event, a photo and an opinion that shall not be repressed, you know where to find me. If you want to chat about philosophy, art, and Vancouver hipster culture including craft beer/coffee, I may never stop talking; be warned! The incoming winter, however...

It’s summertime, and the gardening sure isn’t easy I did something shocking this year: gardening. I probably should have given the neighbours a heads up, so that no one got injured doing a double-take when they saw what I was up to. I admire a lovely garden as much as anyone; but while many people genuinely enjoy spending hours in their garden, I’m not one of them. This is possibly because while planting flowers or vegetables is a one-time thing, keeping them healthy and looking their best is an ongoing process. Watering and deadheading isn’t bad early in the season; but come August in my home town of Ashcroft, when it’s so hot my eyeballs feel as if they’re perspiring, I wonder what possessed me to embark on the process, way back in May. And don’t talk to me about weeding. I firmly believe that, like planting, weeding should only have to be done once in a season, but those tenacious weeds simply will keep coming back. Indeed, I rather admire them for their plucky ability to thrive with absolutely no help from me, because if there’s one thing I like in a plant it’s independence. That’s why, when something strange starts sprouting in my garden, I give it the benefit of the doubt and let it show me what it’s got. As Agatha Christie’s Miss Marple once noted, weeds are simply flowers that grow where you don’t want them to. If dandelions were sold in trays of six at garden centres, instead of erupting all over the lawn, people would be using them to edge gardens faster than you can say potting soil. Now, the fact that I used the word “dead-heading”
may lead some of you to think I’m a more serious gardener than I am. The truth is, I’ve learned enough to be able to fake it for a short period of time when I’m speaking with a real gardener. For those of you who aren’t gardeners, here are a few handy tips: Marigolds or snapdragons or petunias are lovely, but common. Learn a few more exotic flowers—preferably with Latin names—and sprinkle those into your conversation. “I was going to use some calibrachoa in my hanging baskets this year, but decided on sutera cordata instead. The white flowers contrast so beautifully with the other plants, don’t you think?” If you work in an office with a coffee machine, loudly announce in May that you’d like the used coffee grounds for your garden; then put an ice cream bucket on the counter and make a show of taking it away every few days. If you have a real gardener in the office who will actually use the grounds, ask everyone for newspapers instead, so you can put them in your garden when you’re planting. Don’t forget to recycle the newspapers after not using them. If anyone asks if you planted vegetables this year, shake your head sadly and say that you simply couldn’t find the heirloom vegetables you wanted. It helps to know what heirloom vegetables are, and the names of a couple (try “Bull Nosed Large Bell Peppers”—Thomas Jefferson liked them!—and “Pruden’s Purple Tomatoes”). And now, if you’ll excuse me, I have to go. Those osteospermums won’t dead-head themselves. . . Barbara Roden

Halfway to pool fund goal Community efforts to gather funds for the first pool in Vanderhoof, also serving nearby communities, are well underway Vivian Chui Omineca Express $223,000 has so far been raised to go towards the Vanderhoof Aquatic Centre’s construction. The amount is almost halfway to the $500,000 goal set by the Stuart Nechako Regional Pool Society, which was formed to help raise awareness of the project in the area through community fundraising efforts. “It’s been less than a year and they raised a pretty good chunk of money,” said Tom Clement, the District of Vanderhoof’s Director of Community Development. “It can only be called a success.” The society will continue to hold regular fundraisers, with the next event coming after the summer, Clement said. Past activities to encourage donations included entertainment nights involving comedy or live bands, dance and silent auctions, family fun days, and an ongoing campaign in seeking contributions from individuals and companies. “Building a pool in Vanderhoof is Council’s top infrastructure priority,” said pool committee chair and District Councillor Steve Little. “We have worked diligently to pursue funding opportunities through grants and large corporate donations.” Contributions from the community have included, among others, $25,000 from both Stephen Brother’s Contracting, and Drs. Nicole and Sean Ebert. The most recent commercial donations came from Prince George, with $10,000 from Lo Elliott Orthodontics and Northland Dodge.
An online crowdfunding campaign for the aquatic centre, hosted by InvestLocalBC.ca that ended on Aug.1, has also gathered a total of $5,103 from various backers. “The Vanderhoof Aquatic Centre will provide enormous social and economic benefits to Vanderhoof and region and will play an important role in the overall wellness of our residents,” Mayor Gerry Thiessen said. “The work and the effort that the Stuart Nechako Regional Pool Society is conducting is appreciated by all residents of the Nechako Valley.

From the history file: only one man came out the man’s description had been to either. Perhaps he had recovered, or had gone somewhere else. Police next checked with anyone who had been north of Trembleur Lake if they had seen the two men who remained break camp, or spotted them in the bush. No one had, despite the large number of people going into and out of that region. This was rather more worrying. Constable Jennings of Vanderhoof took a party of men to Trembleur Lake and searched the campsite the men had used at the eastern end, but it yielded no clues. The lake was dragged in search of bodies, but nothing was found. The shore of the lake was scoured for other campsites the men might have used, but the search revealed nothing. Jennings returned to Vanderhoof, where he pondered the situation. The men had gone missing in June, and it was now early November. He did not yet know what he was investigating, but it was clear that if no clues were found before the snow began to fall the mystery might forever remain unsolved. It was then that the police finally got a Guided Group break. An Indian named Tours Available Alex Prince arrived in Vanderhoof on Nov. 8 7 Days a Week Looking west over Trembleur Lake, 1909.

Garden Art Show Vivian Chui Omineca Express Displayed in art galleries or commissioned as public wall murals, local artwork can now be found by tinkling fountains and rustling trees in our own backyard. Last Saturday, three Vanderhoof painters — Mary Lynn Lawrence, Annerose Georgeson, and Elizabeth Miller — gathered their easels and canvases to showcase their art to the community last Saturday. Drawing friends, neighbours, and art lovers from Prince George, the Garden Art Show & Tea will become an annual event, said Lawrence, who organized and hosted the event at her residence on Sackner Street. “Finally got my yard good-looking enough!�
she said, laughing. Depicting natural scenes mainly from the region as well as in the Lower Mainland, the artists’ work has appeared in public galleries in B.C. and Alberta, as well as in the United States. For media arts teacher Anna Pye, the garden art show was inspiring. “Really nice to have people in the community to put their art out there and inspire others,� said Pye, who particularly enjoyed Georgeson’s collection of daily pen doodles. “Sometimes you can spend a lot of time making your acorn realistic, but sometimes you can have fun.� As Georgeson noted, “It’s just fun and nice, music and food and art and garden.�

Much golf and fun for the Cure Patients in the region receiving chemotherapy treatments in the local clinic benefit from selfstarting community groups’ efforts Vivian Chui Omineca Express $3,500 was raised by local community groups and members for St. John Hospital’s Oncology Unit last Wednesday night. It was the seventh annual Golf for the Cure on Ladies Night at the Omineca Golf Course, where 68 golfers of all levels teed off for fun and goodwill. “It’s just a fun, fun night,” said event organizer Sally Makin, with all raffles and transactions finalized by the end of the night. Rosalie Nichiporuk, one of the event helpers, said the money raised stays local, particularly for the Oncology Unit as it provides chemotherapy treatments for the patients of the area, including Fraser Lake. “People don’t need to go all the way to Prince George anymore,” said Nichiporuk. The donations would be a pleasant surprise for the Oncology Unit, where staff had heard about the event afterwards. “The community is very supportive,” said Tina Auchstaetter, the unit’s coordinator. She agreed that it’s not uncommon for community members to take it upon themselves to fundraise and bring the result to local services. The total contributed amount includes dona-
tions from other golf club members and the Tuesday seniors’ focus group, with more to come at the men’s golfing event on Thursday. The evening began as teams of three to five played a four-ball scramble, with each team member teeing off at once and then all shooting from where the best ball landed, Nichiporuk explained. Dinner then ensued between rounds of laughter and “Yeah, baby!”s with a 50/50 draw, door and raffle prizes, silent auction, and a raffle draw for a quilt donated by the Nechako Quilters Guild — which raised close to $900. Purified The highest bid Drinking item at the auction was local artist Mary Lynn Water Lawrence’s original ] Demineralized painting “Lost and ] Sales & Forgotten.” Rentals It depicts an idyllic wooded scene of the gold course where a ball was lost. Prizes consisted of donations from the community such as a WATER gift certificate to local COOLERS bakery The Daily Perk, AVAILABLE a poetry collection by Ideal for a local author, locally homes and businesses sourced fresh produce and jams, as well as a handmade table runner.

Summer time - Learning time Skin Troubles The skin is an incredibly complex organ system. Skin issues usually result from direct contact such as an allergic reaction, internal blood infections, or even genetic components that make skin cells duplicate at a slow, or accelerated pace. Skin has always been taught to me as one of the most difficult things to tackle, because there are so many reasons behind what could be causing the condition. Investigation of causes of skin conditions can take a while as causes need to be eliminated and the root cause be found to attempt to prevent further troubles. If you have a skin condition, be patient, track progress, and keep a calendar of symptoms and things you are trying (creams, lotions, vitamins, supplements, medications, and even tracking food since food allergies can be a big part of skin conditions) Here is a short list of some of the more common skin conditions that we will explore over the next few articles. Skin cancer – melanoma, usually caused by sun exposure Hives – allergic reaction that results in red itchy patches on the skin Eczema – dry or wet types of itching skin Psoriasis – excess skin production creating silvery or red plaques on the skin that are typically itchy Acne – dietary, hormonal or otherwise, plugs of sebum causing accumulation of pus Cellulitis – infection of the skin due to the entrance of bacteria Keloid – a scar discoloration Corns - small circles of thickened skin causing discomfort We will be talking about these conditions briefly and if there are any others you would like included feel free to contact me to request a topic. ...to be continued next week

A gruesome discovery ONE MAN CAME OUT, continued from page 6
site and hurried back to Vanderhoof for the coroner, Dr. Stone. They were back at the campsite on Nov. 15, and the grave—which had been very cleverly camouflaged—was exhumed. It revealed the very badly decomposed bodies of two men, both of whom had clearly sustained horrific injuries. The bodies were exhumed and, with considerable difficulty, taken to Vanderhoof, where an autopsy was performed. The head of one man had been beaten to a pulp. The head of the other man had also been badly beaten, and had also been severed from the body; a process that must have taken some time. The men were lightly clad, indicating either that they had been killed while the slept, or that the murderer had removed any clothing that might have identifying marks. However, a cigarette lighter found on one of the bodies was identified as having belonged to Max Westphal; a fellow countryman testified that he had seen Westphal with it in Prince Rupert. The other body had on it a slip of paper with the name Herman Peters on it. This left Karl Fredericks as the man who had come out of the bush and disappeared to the east, and police immediately set about finding him. To be continued Barbara Roden

No wonder so many people with CF stop breathing in their early 30’s
DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED LAWS: The Proposed Laws are a property taxation law and a property assessment law, both made under the authority of section 5(1)(a) of the FNFMA. The property assessment law provides for the assessment and valuation of interests in land on the reserve lands of the First Nation, including appointing assessors, inspecting property, preparing assessment rolls, and mailing assessment notices. The property assessment law also provides a process for reconsideration of assessments and for a right of appeal to an independent assessment review board. The property taxation law establishes a taxation regime that taxes interests in land in the reserve, and includes provisions for exemptions, grants, preparing tax rolls and tax notices, the levy of penalties and interest on unpaid taxes, and the collection and enforcement of unpaid taxes. A COPY OF THE PROPOSED LAWS may be obtained from Sandra Nahornoff at the Stellat’en First Nation band office, or obtained online from the First Nations Gazette, Part I: Notices, at www.fng.ca.

That’s what breathing is like with cystic fibrosis.
NOTICE IS GIVEN, pursuant to section 6 of the First Nations Fiscal Management Act (hereafter referred to as the “FNFMA”), that Stellat’en First Nation (“The First Nation”) proposes to enact the Stellat’en First Nation Property Assessment Law, 2015 and the Stellat’en First Nation Property Taxation Law, 2015 (hereafter referred to as the “Proposed Laws”).

If you have diabetes, you are at increased risk for heart disease and stroke, and other complications such as eye and kidney disease, nerve damage and foot problems. Keeping your blood glucose, blood pressure and cholesterol in a healthy range can reduce your risk of complications.
