Houston pair sentenced Jury finds boyfriend for animal cruelty crimes guilty of murder By Alicia Bridges Smithers/Interior News
A Houston mother and daughter were banned from owning animals for 20 years as punishment for animal cruelty offences in a sentence handed down by the Smithers Provincial Court last week. Karin Adams, aged 43, and her 22-year-old daughter Catherine were sentenced last Thursday after entering guilty pleas the previous day. Karin, who appeared via video-link, pleaded guilty to two counts of causing or permitting an animal to be in distress. Catherine Adams also pleaded guilty to two counts of causing or permitting an animal to be in distress, as well as one count of causing unnecessary pain or suffering to an animal. The charges relate to their treatment of 53 horses, dogs, cats, fish and birds, which were seized from their property near Houston by the BCSPCA last
year. Emaciated horses and dogs kept in small, filthy cages were among the animals removed from the property where the Adams’s were living near Houston. Animal welfare officers also found dogs with parasite infections, dental problems and medical conditions which had not received adequate treatment. The BCSPCA first visited the Adams’ property near Houston in April 2014 after receiving anonymous tips from the public. They issued two orders demanding the women improve their care for the animals, once in April and again June, before executing the search warrant at the property on Aug. 28, 2014. The RCMP laid charges in February, 2015 and the Adams’s pleaded not guilty in April, however they changing their pleas to guilty in court on Tuesday. See BAN on A5
Kamloops This Week
A jury deliberated last Wednesday for just five hours before finding the 24-year-old boyfriend of CJ Fowler guilty of murder in her December 2012 death in Kamloops. The 11 jurors found Damien Taylor guilty of second-degree murder, which carries with it a life sentence. They did not recommend a minimum time that Taylor must serve in jail before he may be paroled, something that will be decided later by B.C. Supreme Court Justice Dev Dley after a sentencing hearing. The 16-year-old girl was found dead in the Guerin Creek area on
Dec. 12, 2012, with a concrete chunk on her chest. A pathologist testified she choked to death when her tongue became trapped in her airway, the result of at least one blow to her head and face. “I want to scream so loud and cry at the same time,” Matilda Fowler, CJ’s mother told reporters outside the Kamloops courthouse following the verdict. “I just don’t want any other mothers going through what I went through. I want to find answers for the other missing and murdered women, but I don’t know how to do that. I know a lot of them are missing their daughters and have no answers. I have answers and he’s going to jail.” See METH on A4

N EWS Roi TheaTRe Crosswalk crosses council agenda again I Crimson Peak
By Chris Gareau Smithers/Interior News
Crosswalks with a message came across Smithers council agenda again last Tuesday. A letter was sent to Smithers council last month asking that a rainbow crosswalk like the ones in Vancouver and Kelowna, and approved for Prince Rupert and Terrace this summer, be painted here. It asked that it be installed to signal Smithers as a town that accepts diversity in people, including the LGBTQ community. Council approved the multi-coloured symbol be put down at the intersection of Second Avenue and Main Street. Councillors Fran Wray and Shelley Browne voted against the motion, citing things like undefined cost, and the choosing of one issue when other people may bring forward more proposals for crosswalk representation. The first such proposal came last Tuesday. A letter from Karin Doornbos asked council to either create a pro-life crosswalk, or reconsider installing the rainbow crosswalk. “The reason they approved the rainbow sidewalk ... was because the people from the LGBTQ community, they feel threatened and sometimes bullied, and they want the
community to accept them,” explained Doornbos. “So my point was that there’s a group in town that is not accepted, and that’s the pre-born babies. And one thing that I did clarify [at the council meeting] was that I’m not speaking on behalf of the pro-life society — that’s a national group — it was more of for life as opposed to against life.” Council decided against making a motion on whether or not to approve the pro-life crosswalk, nor did it reconsider the rainbow crosswalk. Doornbos said some on council pointed to the fact gay marriage and abortion were legal. She added that the crosswalk was an important community issue. “There’s a lot of promiscuity and STDs, and that affects our whole healthcare system. It doesn’t affect me directly, what two people do, but it affects everybody indirectly,” said Doornbos. Mayor Taylor Bachrach acknowledged it was a sensitive moral subject for many people for and against the colourful crosswalk. “The bottom line is that council is tasked with making decisions it feels are in the best interest of the community, and we respond to proposals that are brought forward from the community. And in this case we had two different proposals. One of those council felt was in the best interest, and one of them it chose not to act on,”
said Bachrach. “I’m certainly comfortable with that process.” He felt it was important to have the symbol in Smithers for everyone, but especially LGBTQ youth who wanted to feel safe in a small, rural community, and added that he was willing to sit down with anyone who wanted to discuss it. Bachrach described the discussion around the subject respectful, which he said he felt “heartening.” “I’ve certainly heard that concern expressed by residents, that they feel council shouldn’t have taken on this issue because it’s a polarizing issue. But my sense is that as long as we’re able as a community to maintain respectful dialogue, it’s important to talk about the tough issues,” said Bachrach. “I really feel like if we were to paint the crosswalk without having the conversation about what it means, then it probably wouldn’t be as significant in terms of creating the kind of change we’re talking about.” In other council news, the proposed bylaw to allow chickens in town is scheduled to have its public hearing sometime in November. Members appointed to the small business task force were Chrissy Chapman, Dana Gorbahn, Jim Dobinson, Max Starr, David Harris and Bill Wookey.

Steady flow of voters at local voting station
By Alicia Bridges Smithers/Interior News
A steady flow of voters attended the St Joseph’s School voting station in Smithers on Monday, playing their part in determining the outcome of Canada’s longest federal election campaign since 1872. Election day concluded a marathon 78-day campaign that started on Aug. 2, when Conservative leader Stephen Harper dropped the writ in Ottawa. Smithers resident Judy Morgan said she always took the opportunity to vote on election day. “I think we are so fortunate and blessed to live in a democratic society where we actually have a say in who is our leader and I think it’s a right and a privilege that everyone should participate in,” said Morgan. She said over the years she had changed who she
voted for to favour the party with the best leadership qualities. Jessica Vandergaag, also from Smithers, said her vote was influenced primarily by who was leading the party. She said the political climate had never changed enough to persuade her to change how she voted. “I vote for the person who shows that they care about the most vulnerable members of society such as unborn children, sick, elderly,” she said. “If they care about the most vulnerable members much more then they care about everyone.” Preliminary estimates show that 8,322 voters cast their ballots in the electoral district of Skeena-Bulkley Valley during the four days of advance voting Oct. 9-12, according to numbers released by Elections Canada on Oct. 14. In advance voting in the last election in 2011, a total of 4,553 voters cast ballots in Skeena-Bulkley Valley.

N EWS Defence blames crystal meth From GUILTY on Front Matilda and her son sat through the two-anda-half week trial, coming to Kamloops from Prince George. The trial heard Taylor, then 21, and CJ were inseparable. CJ, who was from Gitanmaax and was living in Terrace, learned hours before her death she was pregnant with Taylor’s child. She asked her stepfather to treat him as family. Taylor called him “poppa.” “I also want to say sorry to Damien’s family,” said Matilda. Several of Taylor’s family members attended the trial but they declined to speak with reporters following the verdict. Crown lawyers said the trial went smoothly. One of them, veteran prosecutor Iain Currie said it was the quickest verdict he has experienced in a murder trial. Defence lawyer Don Campbell called it a “fairly linear case in terms of the issues.” During argument, he urged

Public Notice
Court orders 20-year pet ban for Houston pair
From GUILTY on Front Crown prosecutor Mark Crisp and defence lawyer Michael Murphey presented the case to Judge Struyk as a joint submission, in which the prosecution and defence agree on an appropriate sentence. Crisp told the court some of the animals were found in “utterly atrocious” conditions. He provided Judge Calvin Struyk with pictures showing underweight horses and caged dogs seized by the BCSPCA. Crisp also read from reports by two veterinarians, including Dr Cori Stephens, who rated the weight of the horses and dogs with a “body condition scale” of one to 9, with five being an animal in ideal condition and one being emaciated. Stephens gave several of the horses a score of 1.5, and all were scored between 1.5 and 4.5. Of the 18 dogs seized several were underweight, one had an untreated tumour and another was suffering from a severe infestation of dental lice. Many of the animals
did not have food or water and some of the dogs were too aggressive to be inspected on the day. Crisp called for both defendants to serve a six month jail sentence with three years probation, subject to a string of conditions, and separate orders including a ban on owning animals. Catherine’s defence lawyer Michael Murphey, who was not representing Karin but did assist her in the plea and sentencing process, agreed on the length of the sentence and most of the probation conditions. However, he did not believe Catherine should have to serve her sentence in jail. He suggested the 22-year-old be given a conditional sentence which could be served at the residence of a family member. Murphey noted that Catherine was young and did not have a criminal record. He said the 22-yearold had been suffering from anxiety and depression, leading her to turn to animals for comfort. “We suspect that
this partially has fuelled what we’re seeing here, that Catherine Adams will prevail upon her mom to bring animals in and keep them,” said Murphey. He said the defendants had taken on unwanted animals attempting to rescue them but did not have the means to look after them. Karin Adams chose not to comment before the judge, however Catherine took the opportunity to apologize to the judge. Her voice broke as she outlined the hardships she had experienced in her life over the past two years. “I honestly feel that there is really no punishment you can hand out that is worse than what I’ve already had to endure in the last two years,” she said. “I don’t mean that to sound rudely or anything but it is just, I’m to that point, I can’t take anymore.” In his summary of the facts before sentencing, Judge Struyk considered the Adams’s poor financial situation and the hostility they were experiencing in their
communities. “I am told that both of them have received hostile messages, both on social media and the telephone,” he said. “Both Adams have found themselves unwelcome and treated with hostility and ostracization in both the local communities.” He said he believed the Adams’s had not wilfully harmed their animals but neglected them, although they had repeated warnings from the BCSPCA to improve their living conditions. He noted that animal food, including hay, was found at the property and not all of the animals were in bad health. There was also evidence that the animals had received some veterinary care, he said, but it remained obvious that animals had suffered. Struyk said their sentence had to be an appropriate deterrent to both the defendants and the wider public from committing similar offences, and for the Adams’s rehabilitation. Because the Crown and defence lawyers were essentially seeking the
same sentence, Struyk said the only issue left for the court was to decide whether Catherine Adams should serve her sentence in custody. He said counsel submissions had characterized Karin Adams as being less responsible than her daughter. Struyk sentenced her to two years of probation, subject to conditions, in addition to the 15 days jail time she had already served while in custody. Catherine Adams received a six-month conditional sentence to be served in the residence of a family member, followed by a three year probation order subject to a range of conditions. Struyk banned both women from owning animals for 20 years and ordered them to have counselling. They will also have to pay back $5,456 in veterinary costs to the BCSPCA. Both Karin and Catherine will be restricted from working with animals during their probation.

Minister Stephanie Cadieux responds to the Representative for Children and Youth’s latest report
T
he Representative for Children and Youth’s (RCY) report focuses on the difficult, complex and often life-changing work of B.C. social workers, and we agree with the report’s findings around caseload challenges, recruitment and retention difficulties, as well as the complex issues our frontline workers deal with every single day. However, the report’s data, which was gathered between November 2014 and January 2015, is now dated and no longer aligns with the current state of ministry offices because many of the concerns and challenges the RCY raises in the report have already been, or are currently being, addressed. The RCY’s recommendations are in line with what the ministry has already identified
through our own extensive staff engagement, client feedback, and our collaboration with the B.C. Government and Services Employees’ Union (BCGEU). As per our usual process, ministry staff regularly update the RCY. She is well aware of the steps the ministry is taking to support our social workers so they can provide the best possible service to vulnerable children, youth and families in B.C. For example, like any complex, high-pressure and emotional job, there are often challenges with recruiting and retaining staff, particularly in rural and remote communities. That’s why we’re speeding up employee hiring through a new centralized approach that allows the ministry to recruit child-
protection workers for rural, remote, high-needs and other positions either as a group on a quarterly basis, or individually as positions become available. In fact, we have hired 110 new child-protection workers across the province since last November — that’s 11 per cent more workers focused on direct services to children and youth in this year alone. We have also simplified business functions for our frontline staff, including expanding our successful centralized screening to more of our ministry offices to help free up social workers’ time so they can focus on tasks that require their expertise and insight, such as meeting with clients and preparing comprehensive care plans.
We will continue to work with ministry offices throughout the province to ensure we place new employees in the locations that need the most support. We are recruiting for priority frontline positions, and — for the first time ever — the ministry is bringing a direct focus on recruitment for senior leadership positions to help attract interest from Aboriginal applicants and qualified people from across Canada. Since these latest changes have taken place, we have been hearing positive feedback from staff and team leaders. And, as more child-protection workers are hired and the new processes continue to take effect in service delivery areas, we expect that we’ll continue to receive positive feedback from local offices.

L ETTERS Every PM smiling in their graves Editor: The real winner of this election will be the Canadian social fabric. After all the hoopla, Canadians have been forced to look in the mirror, see that as a culture we are somewhat racist, bigoted and far from the ideals with which we sometimes praise ourselves as a society, and change, become more compassionate toward others from differing cultures and less vindictive. And Harper’s plan to turn Canada into a Republican-style USA has failed. And every PM since the dawn of Canada will be smiling in their graves. Keith Cummings Telkwa
Homeless shelter doing so much with so little Editor: Congratulations Smithers, you have done it again! Last Friday, my husband and I went to the homeless shelter’s open house. We had read some negative press about it and decided to see for ourselves. I’m pleased to say that we came away with a new respect for what these workers do for our community. Considering
TO:
that there is only one worker per shift, they do everything! Everything includes cooking, cleaning (floors, toilets, etc), repairs, bed-making, laundry and so on. On top of that, they have managed to house 39 children! I can’t say enough about these caring volunteers and staff. I am very proud of a town that can do so much with so little! We owe the workers big time. Thank-you so much to the staff and volunteers for your kindness and compassion to our fellow man. David and Carolyn Andruchow Telkwa

I’ve been asked twice in the last month from visitors where the Zellers is located. Christine Holahan Smithers
Christian crosswalk observations
Editor: Having thought long and hard about the issue of the Town of Smithers painting a rainbow crosswalk, I feel compelled as a Christian to share some observations. I wholeheartedly agree with Anna Ziegler when she says that we should love one another. Yes, we are all human beings created in the image of God (Genesis 2:27). Every human being bears the image of God and this makes each person special, no matter who they are or what they represent. There is no room for hatred and persecution of those we disagree with. As a matter of fact, Jesus Christ warns us that one who is angry against another person will be severely judged (Matthew 5:2126), and on the contrary, he told us that we are to love our neighbour as ourselves and even to love our enemies (Matthew 5:44). It is clear to me that we are to love all people, not to do so would be rebellion against God. But does loving the person mean that we must agree with, celebrate or participate in everything they do? Why would we want to celebrate a lifestyle that has many inherent dangers? A case in point, upon a perusal of the U.S. Center for Disease Control website, (www.cdc.gov/ h iv / g ro u p / m s m / i n d ex . html), we quickly see that those who contract HIV are mostly men who

have sex with men (63 per cent in 2010) while they represent only a very small minority of the population (two per cent). According to the statistics, the incidents of infection are dramatically and steadily increasing in this group of men. If we truly love others, would we not warn them of these dangers, rather than encourage them by painting a crosswalk in honour of their chosen lifestyle? We are warned by nature and by God, that certain lifestyles will reap much grief, pain and judgement on those involved in them and on society as a whole (Romans 1:24-27). God has a plan for us and we have all departed from that plan in some way or another (Romans 2:23). Anger, hatred, greed and selfishness are some examples of this. When we admit our rebellion against him, and seek him and his way, he will forgive us and empower us to love others as we should, and to live according to his will for us (Romans 6:23). Furthermore, how are we being inclusive by celebrating a chosen lifestyle of only a few? To be truly inclusive we would have to paint every crosswalk for every chosen lifestyle in the valley. There are not enough crosswalks to represent every lifestyle. If the Smithers town council wants to be inclusive, and they feel they need to express this by painting a crosswalk, would it not be better that they paint it red, yellow, black, brown and white to represent all of the human race, to the exclusion of none. “From one man he created all nations throughout the whole earth ... His purpose was for the nations to seek after God and perhaps feel their way toward him and find him … now he commands everyone everywhere to repent of
their sins and turn to him.” (Acts 17:26, 27:30 NLT) Ken Penner Telkwa
Embedding quotes in the crosswalks Editor: Karen Bandstra says of the rainbow crosswalk controversy, “I’m guessing you would not be so excited to support a request from a Christian group that wanted to paint Bible passages across a crosswalk.” (‘Inspiring but saddening’, Oct. 7 edition) Speaking as an atheistBuddhist with Christian sympathies, I think this is a great idea. I picture a whole series of crosswalks with embedded quotations, running up the length of Main Street. But for balance I suggest that they include material from several of the world’s wisdom traditions. Here are five possibilities for consideration by Smithers mayor and council: The Bible says, “We are as water spilt on the ground.” (2 Samuel) Zen master Linji says, “Detach from whatever you find inside or outside yourself.” In the BhagavadGita, Lord Krishna says, “Simpletons separate philosophy and discipline.” The Stoic thinker Marcus Aurelius says, “All things are interwoven with one another.” And for the atheists, here’s a snippet of conversation from Waiting for Godot, especially appropriate for drivers waiting at a crosswalk, but possibly also containing some philosophical insight: “Estragon: Let’s go. Vladimir: We can’t.” Susan Douglas Hazelton

welcoming all Editor: I attended the meeting of the mayor and town council on Oct. 13. One item on the agenda was about putting up a banner on Main Street to welcome all the skiers and snowboarders to Hudson Bay Mountain. Council voted to keep the sign generic as not to endorse any one business. This unbiased character is a necessary value as council has to make many decisions that affect all the people in the town of Smithers. Later in the evening, council discussed the responses to their decision about a LGTBQ rainbow. Suddenly bias was welcomed and celebrated. Councillors felt Smithers needs a visual symbol that shows we are a town where all people are welcomed and feel safe, and the symbol they chose is the LGTBQ rainbow. This symbol is not generic and was created by and for the LGTBQ community to celebrate their lifestyle. As you know, the LGTBQ community is not the only group that has been discriminated against. A census conducted by the Toronto District School Board (known for being very secular) found that the most prevalent reason for being bullied (at 38 per cent) is body image. The second highest reason for bullying is grades (at 17 per cent). It’s followed by culture, language, gender, religion, and income. These people are not included in the LGTBQ rainbow. Sexual orientation does not even make the top seven reasons for bullying. If Smithers town council wants to be consistently unbiased and wants all the citizens of Smithers to feel safe and welcomed in their own community, a LGBTQ rainbow is not the answer.

Steelheads win in Quesnel, Lac La Hache By Ryan Graham and Xuyun Zeng Black Press
The Smithers Steelheads won spectacularly in two away games last weekend. In Quesnel, the Steelheads won 7-3 against the Kangaroos, while on Sunday, they won the Lac La Hache Tomahawks 10-2. “You know what? We had ... our full team. So we’ve got lots of energy. So we always have fresh guys out there, that’s nice,” said head coach Tom DeVries. Smithers started the goal scoring, recording the first four goals. “Yesterday, we got a good early lead, 4-0 lead in the first ten minutes of the game. And that helped us out, and yesterday we
had some fantastic goal tending,” said DeVries, referring to the game against the Quesnel Kangaroos. The third saw a tight checking game with no goals and only a total of 15 shots on net for both teams. Although the Roos did not win they did record the most shots on net with 32 shots compared to the Steelheads 27, but couldn’t muster more than three goals by Smithers goaltender David Little who made 29 saves recording the win. The Steelheads outdid themselves on Sunday. “Today’s game was... a lot easier. They didn’t have a very strong team out and we kind of hammered them from the get-go, but everybody played well, so that’s good,” said DeVries.

Skatepark expansion kickflips into high gear By Chris Gareau Smithers/Interior News
A $500,000 expansion of the skatepark in Smithers is closer to reality thanks to the volunteer efforts of skaters of all ages who are helping raise funds and giving their design ideas. Headed up by Boarding for Brant, the expansion would see the skatepark double in size with more flow to keep skaters from stalling after each trick and to add a higher level of safety, more areas for different users like BMX riders, and lighting to keep kids active into the night. The possibility of adding a roof to cover part of the park would also add an all-season element.
“Not a huge section, but enough that it is usable,” explained Jason Krauskopf, who is helping lead the project. Krauskopf and about 30 others, including Smithers Coun. Phil Brienesse and Town director of development services Mark Allen, took part in a design workshop at town hall with Spectrum Skateparks owner Jim Barnun from Vancouver. Krauskopf said having already raised $55,000 has helped the group move forward to the design phase and brings a completion date at the end of next summer within reach. With donations of materials and work, they hope to bring the cost down to $400,000. See INPUT on A9

S PORTS Looking for skatepark input From SKATEPARK on A8 “Our youngest attendant [at the town hall meeting] would have been about eight years old,” said Krauskopf, who is also co-owner of Local Supply Co. Kids and adults drew out their ideas for Barnum to take back and come up with a design to take back to the group. Anyone wanting to give input on the design can also do so at the Smithers Skatepark Design Facebook page. The plan is to have a final design by December to show potential donors. There is a general idea on how to improve the skatepark, which was ground-breaking at the time it was built in the mid-90s, but is now starting to show its age. Skatepark design companies only cropped up after the sport’s popularity exploded in the late ‘90s and early 2000s. “It was a definite first in northern B.C.,” said Krauskopf. “It was great for the time, but there has been a lot learned since then about safe flow, for example, whereas before, skateboarders know what they want but they’re not designers.” Safety and enjoyability would be heightened with a few geometric adjustments.

Call for Funding Requests
“The mistake made with this park is it’s a bit of a one-hit park, maybe two. So you can hit one or two features and you have to stop, turn around and go back. With a new park you’re going to be able to roll around and hit a few features in a row,” said Krauskopf. The park would be for more than just skateboarders. “There will be different areas that will be segregated ... BMX-ers use a different area of the park than the skateboarders do. And then there are scooter kids as well,” explained Krauskopf. “Different sports in the park require different features. Like bikers use up a lot more space and use a lot more speed, for example.” Krauskopf hopes fundraising efforts and the goal of construction next summer is met so burnout does not become a factor for the volunteers. “We’ve got lots of momentum right now ... I don’t want to draw it out for more than two years,” said Krauskopf. “I’d like to hit hard, hit fast and just get it done.” Boarding for Brant would hand over ownership of the park to the Town of Smithers after its expansion, with town staff maintaining the skatepark from then on.

Dog show wows, raises funds for dog park By Xuyun Zeng Smithers/Interior News
The first-ever Doggy Fashion Show hosted at the fairgrounds entertained crowds and raised funds towards a dog park last Sunday. The organizers estimated that over 100 people attended the event, raising $1,676.35 towards the dog park, far beyond their initial expectations. Judges had a hard time selecting the winners, as dogs vying for the crown came within decimal points of each other. “Great costumes, cuteness was great, a lot of people didn’t do tricks, so the dogs that got the tricks, got another two or three points on average higher than the ones that didn’t,” said judge Doug Veenstra. “But it was really close. Everybody’s within a point or two or three for the most part.” Dogs had to don clothing for the four seasons and judges gave points for appropriate and cute outfits. Dog behaviour, tricks and “awesomeness” also played a part. This event represents one of the fundraising drives Tracy Marcotte and Jessy Taggart are doing to build an off-leash dog park within Heritage Park. “We’ve been gifted land by the Town of Smithers, And now we need to come up with funding for
fencing, benches and water feature,” said Taggart. Taggart and Marcotte figure it will cost anywhere from $15,000 to $20,000. They have currently raised $3,423. In addition to the proceeds from the fashion show, they received a $500 donation from Bulkley Valley Credit Union, and they raised $1,250 from empty alcohol bottles. The idea for the fashion show was Rebecca Warner’s. “I just thought it’d be a fun idea to raise money for the park and you don’t see a lot of dog fashion shows, so I thought it’ll call a lot of interest,” said Warner. “It’s gone really well, it’s about as good as we could ever hope for.” “We’ll do it again in the future if it goes well.” Taggart and Marcotte hope to do more fundraisers in the near future. “We are hoping to have enough money by spring to put up the fence,” said Taggart. “We’re hoping that the community will donate signs.” They are urging people to drop off empty alcohol bottles to the bottle recycling depot labelling them “Barkpark”. The 12 best pictures of dogs taken at the event will go into a calendar that will be sold to further raise money for the dog park.

Inaugural Business Walk taking Bulkley Valley’s economic pulse The inaugural Business Walk event will take place in Smithers and Telkwa on Wednesday, Oct. 21 from 1-4 p.m. The Business Walk aims to take the pulse of local business by conducting short face-to-face interviews with business owners and managers. Volunteer teams composed of business leaders, local and provincial government, and business support service providers will be going door to door asking owners or managers a couple of simple questions about the state of their business. Businesses that need assistance will
receive follow-up visits and will be provided one-on-one support. The Business Walk program involves a partnership facilitated by the Ministry of Jobs, Tourism and Skills Training (JTST) and the Smithers District Chamber of Commerce. Other service providers that will make up the teams include representatives from WorkBC, Nadina Community Futures, the Bulkley Valley Economic Development Office and the NWCC. Telkwa Mayor Darcy Repen and Smithers Mayor Taylor Bachrach will join in the walk along with Coun.
Phil Brienesse. The Business Walk program is recognized as an economic development best practice by the provincial government. Gathering community and business information is a key ingredient to foster the area’s economic growth and expansion potential. Business owners and managers are encouraged to be at their business on Oct. 21 from 1-4 p.m. when the teams will put their feet to the street to discuss issues with you during the walk. By taking the time to answer just a few questions, you will be providing
valuable information that area support agencies can use to develop programs and services that will better support our small businesses. For questions or more information, or if you’d like to be on a team, please contact: Heather Gallagher, Smithers District Chamber of Commerce manager, 250-847-5072 or heather@ smitherschamber.com. — Contributed by Heather Gallagher, Smithers District Chamber of Commerce manager.

y the time you read these words the election will be over and Thanksgiving is just a memory of eating too much with friends and family joining in. You just might be thankful for both events finishing up. Now it is time for you to think about yourself. Those of us on the senior side of things who still manage to live in their own home must take time to make sure you are winter ready. You might not need an oil change but you could possibly need to change some of the safety features in your home. You’ve no doubt seen the commercial about the chair lift device that will carry your aging body up and down the stairs. “Just don’t fall,” the announcer says. All well and good if you can afford the thing.

READY SINCE 1977
How seniors can get winter ready this year How about making sure you have a banister on both sides of the stairs? Do your stairs have a slippery surface? Check around and find a good non-slip stair covering. Still on the stairs, I know there are many times I have to carry something up or down. I usually put whatever it is in a sturdy bag. I have been known to put the laundry in a pillow case and throw the works to the bottom. Check to make sure you have batteries for your flashlights. Keep a flashlight by your bed. Invest in a safety light that will plug into an outlet. The light will come on when the power is off. So many now have those shiny wood or fake wood floors. These are made deadly when they get wet or you have a scatter rug in place. What do I have? Carpet all over the house. I can come and go without slipping. I can wear my ice grippers instead of taking my boots off and on. The carpet does not look that great but at least I am most often upright. How safe is it to come and go to the outdoors? Do you have a railing to grip as you exit your home? Is there a bucket of salt at the ready for those icy days? Have your

walking stick at the ready for just in case. Let’s go back inside for a minute. How are things in your bathroom, as far as safety is concerned? My bathtub has a very rough surface. It came to its resting place from the dump. Looks ugly but it is not slippery. I have a safety grip on the edge of the tub as well as on the wall which comes in handy when showering. I don’t sit in the tub any more. I worry I will fall and rest in there like a beached whale until someone comes to fish me out. Check your outdoor lighting. Some I know have motion-activated lighting which is good if you don’t go outside too often. If you are a bit wobbly have someone change the bulbs. If you must do it yourself don’t leap onto a chair, buy one of those three step ladders that have a handle to guide you. Staying in our own homes is very important to many of us. Being safe comes down to common sense. So if you have a few minutes check around your home for issues that just might put your independence in jeopardy. You can share your ideas when you call 250-846-5095. An email note could come to mallory@ bulkley.net.

Telkwa will plant tulips to celebrate 1945 Dutch gift By Xuyun Zeng Telkwa/Interior News
The Canadian Garden Council has selected Telkwa as one of the 140 places where a Dutch-Canadian Friendship Tulip Garden will be. The village will have a planting ceremony at the corner of Highway 16 and Hankin Avenue at 1 p.m. this Thursday to commemorate the 70th anniversary of Canada receiving 100,000 tulips from the Dutch for providing assistance to them in the Second World War. At the village council’s regular meeting, economic development officer Jane Stevenson invited all of council to attend the ceremony and asked for an elected official to do a speech, to which Coun. Leroy Dekens volunteered. “Due to my background, being Dutch, do put me down
for making a speech or some sort of a comment,” said Dekens. Mayor Darcy Repen suggested that he wanted to see the gardens grow over time with the help of residents. “At the moment, I should be there on the 22nd. There is the possibility that I get called out to work, but I’ve scheduled that in,” said Mayor Darcy Repen. “I think there’s an opportunity ... for a new initiative here too, where given the Dutch community that we have, we might be able to annually actually grow that with resident donations.” Stevenson also mentioned that she was alerted to this opportunity by Nancy and Sieger Duursma. “I really want to acknowledge if it wasn’t for Sieger and Nancy Duursma who called me and letting me know of this opportunity, we wouldn’t known about this,”
said Stevenson. “I think that we really need to acknowledge the Duursma family either during the ceremony or just from council on letter.” Mayor Repen declared at council his support for sending the Duursmas a letter. According to a Village of Telkwa press release, the gardens “will be located throughout the Village and will consist of 700 red and white tulip bulbs. Vesey’s Bulbs of Prince Edward Island donated these bulbs to the Village.” It also mentioned that Canada received the 100,000 tulips from the Netherlands for its role in its liberation and the hospitality Canada provided to the Dutch royal family in Ottawa during the Second World War. The press release added that Telkwa’s application was among the 400 applications that the Canadian Garden Council received.

C OMMUNITY Telkwa holds off recreation upgrades By Xuyun Zeng Telkwa/Interior News
The Village of Telkwa has decided to wait for more quotes before deciding on how to proceed with recreational facilities upgrades. Councillors had to decide whether to approve doing these two projects immediately, and apply to Northern Development Initiative Trust’s recreation grant, which had a November deadline, or wait to receive more quotes and apply for further funding later. The NDIT’s matching grant will pay a portion of the costs involved in the projects. “After discussing this with Jane, our economic development officer, she thinks there’s probably quite a bit of funding out there for recreational activities, so we recommend that we skip the November input and wait until the next quarter until we have our numbers,” said public works foreman Jim Harding.
Councillors heard from Harding that he has only received one quote for resurfacing the Dockrill rink and none for a roof over the arena. “The only one that I have got back is to resurface it. So the quote came back as $61,500 if we do it ourselves, prep it ourselves. And $72,000 if they just go do it all on their own and resurface it,” said Harding. Harding also suggested that the Village could use surplus sandy loam left on the airstrip to level the ball fields. “We have all that material sitting on our airstrip so I think we could utilize that material and save a lot of money just in screening that material and levelling out the ball diamonds,” said Harding. The issue with the baseball diamond, according to the report, lies in the lack of irrigation that caused grass to die, and potholes. “If you go by the soccer field now and look at the edges of the soccer field with that native soil — grass is beautiful there,” said Harding. “That’s basically

what the ball players have been asking for.” However, Coun. Leroy Dekens thinks that the ground on the baseball diamonds has to be dug out because of rocks embedded in it, citing his years of experience playing ball there and talking to baseball tournament organizers. “I would defer to staff to establish that, personally,” Mayor Darcy Repen said. “We do have public works staff for a reason.” “Because again, comparing the cost of digging it out, compared to putting in irrigation ... is an exponential difference.” Repen believes the council needs to take “baby steps” and leave more ambitious projects, such as a roof over the rink, for the future. “We’re talking about a [regional district] grant that is in total $100,000 for two projects. So, if we can do something positive for it, it doesn’t mean we have to abandon other projects. Again I see this as the start for both of those facilities for bigger and better things in improvements,” said Repen.

Smithers RCMP is seeking witnesses to a vandalism attempt on a cougar statue outside the Smithers District Chamber of Commerce. Chamber staff found the 1000 pound figure on its side when they arrived at work last Friday morning. They believe vandals tried to damage it when they knocked it over on Thursday night. Chamber manager Heather Gallagher said it was disappointing that someone had wanted to damage the statue, which was designed by Telkwa artist Brad Junkin. She urged vandals to stop and think about the consequences of their actions. “It cost quite a bit of money for the chamber to have the structure erected in order to provide a real gift to tourists and the locals,” she said. “Please consider what you are doing and maybe channel your anger in a more positive way.” Smithers RCMP is trying to locate the culprits. Anyone with information is urged to The cougar statue which was knocked over by vandals last Thursday has since been re-erected. contact Smithers RCMP on 250-847-3233.

Swordfighting, archery and science in Tir Bannog By Xuyun Zeng Tir Bannog (Quick)/Interior News
Enter into the “castle” on Larch Road near Quick and you get transported back into time. “Greetings, my lord,” sounded a voice as people dressed up in period costumes sit around the fire under the “sky” (a blue tarp). You are now in the Shire of Tir Bannog, a region spanning from Burns Lake to Kitimat. People from the Shire of Cold Keep (Prince George), the Kingdom of Avacal (Alberta, Saskatchewan and the Territories) and Cae Mor (Kitimat), have all gathered in the castle to attend the 19th Feast of St. Crispins, an event hosted by the local branch of the Society for Creative Anachronism. “It’s where we have our rapier defender, determine our gaming defender, our arts and science, it’s basically sort of the wrap up of our tournament season,” said
organizer Tewl (Douglas Jeffery). “We basically just choose the defenders we don’t choose in June.” Tewl became the defender of the rapier class this year after beating Wylfryd. This means he has the defender title in Cold Keep, Cae Mor and Tir Bannog. “It’s fun, it’s great. I was kind of hoping for it because it gives me the triple crown,” said Tewl. “I can now call myself the defender of the North.” For people who prefer ranged weapons, the event had an archery segment. “Archery was a very big part of the Middle Ages,” said Tewl. “Today we’re not doing a defender here, we’re just having some fun. So, Wylfryd’s got a pumpkin and we’re going to try to shoot the pumpkin.” They also did a 50-50 shoot where the arrow which hits closest to a point on the back of the pumpkin gets half the money collected from the arrows people bought.
For lords and ladies that prefer to be challenged mentally, they could participate in arts and science. “All of the arts and things that were done during the Middle Ages, we try and recreate,” said Tewl. “Some people use period techniques, period materials.” “This is sort of to show that we do appreciate these other things as well too, not just martial combat.” The Society of Creative Anachronism started in 1966 at a university in Berkeley, Calif. “And because they were studying romantic languages and all this, they decided to have a medieval theme,” said Tewl. “Well, they had so much fun, that they held another one and it got to a point where it got too big for the guy’s backyard.” Each branch of the Society is obliged to host two events per year. The local branch hosts the summertime Fields of Gold and the Feast of St. Crispins.
Tewl (right), from Tir Bannog, won the title of defender in the rapier class this year after defeating Wylfryd, from Cae Mor (Kitimat).

Museum hosts Halloween walk through the cemetery By Chris Gareau Smithers/Interior News
The Bulkley Valley Museum is taking a trip through time among the gravestones of the Smithers cemetery on Halloween. Starting at 1 p.m., people are invited to learn about some of the Bulkley Valley’s earliest residents. The idea came to museum curator Kira Westby from other similar tours in cemeteries across Canada. Cemetery design will also be a topic covered during the tour. “I’ll be placing the Smithers cemetery in sort of the broader context of cemetery design, because there has been a lot of study amongst archeologists and historians about how North American cemeteries have
changed over the last couple hundred years,” explained Westby. About six graves of early Smithereens will be visited. All the stories about how people came to the remote northern B.C. community are interesting, and some have a layer of mystery. One such story is that of a young British soldier who was buried in November of 1918. Leslie Sutcliffe fought in Gallipoli, Turkey in 1915 during the First World War. With a heightened interest from the 100th anniversary of the conflict, more information has been dug up about soldiers like Sutcliffe, but not all of it. What Westby said we do know is that Sutcliffe was discharged from the war due to injury and medical issues. He then made his
way in 1918 to Ellis Island in New York City. “And then for some reason we haven’t yet determined, he made his way up to Smithers, and then died two weeks after he got here from Spanish Flu,” explained Westby. “His name is actually on a war memorial in England, and there has been some interest on that side of the Atlantic. I’ve found a few articles and we’ve been contacted recently. Now that it’s the centenary of the First World War, people have been looking into this, trying to figure out where this guy ended up. “He’s completely across the ocean from any family, from anybody. He’s sort of a forgotten soldier in a way,” said Westby. “His health was weakened and he ended up getting the Spanish Flu probably because of that, so his death is related to the First
World War, but he didn’t actually die in action.” Westby has reached out to Sutcliffe’s prep school across the pond to try to find more information. “They have suggested that the sort of more affluent families that attended that school, a lot of them ended up dispersing across the British empire. He may have had ties to B.C., maybe a family member had already come here, or something,” said Westby. “So far we haven’t really been able to figure out why, especially when he lands in New York City, that’s a long journey to get up here. So why did he come here? Admission is free with donations accepted to hear more on Sutcliffe and others who now make their home at the cemetery in Smithers.

Heated competition in chef contest By Alicia Bridges Smithers/Interior News
One makes a mean moose lasagna, another loves Thai curries, but competitors in the Oktoberchef cooking contest will have to push their culinary boundaries when they are asked to cook from a list of mystery ingredients this Friday. High Roads Services Society is will put four local cooks to the test at a fundraising event to expand iKitchen, a social enterprise for adults with disabilities. Launched this year, the kitchen provides on-the-job training for 19 paid employees, who prepare a menu of frozen lunches which are available in the store or by delivery. Smithers Mayor Taylor Bachrach, Hudson Bay Mountain resort services manager Chrissy Chapman, High Roads chief executive Dana Gorbahn and iKitchen cook Alvin Henry will compete for the title of “best chef ” at this weekend’s fundraiser. Bachrach said he was a little intimidated when he met his fellow competitors last week. “And so should you be,” laughed Gorbahn, who was hoping seafood such as prawns would be among the mystery ingredients at the cook-off. “I like curries, hot Thai curries ... and it doesn’t matter but I love prawns,” he said. Hudson Bay Mountain manager Chrissy Chapman could have an advantage if the mystery ingredients turn out to be local. Said she prefers to cook with wild-caught ingredients like moose, which she uses in lasagne, but her favourite ingredient is salmon. “We smoke it, we can it, barbecue it, bake it, everything,” she said. Bachrach said he likes to cook a variety of foods and he’s not

afraid of the challenge to make up a recipe on the spot. “I think that’s my favourite part of cooking is the opportunity to work with what you have and create something.” But he could have stiff competition from iKitchen cook Alvin Henry, who already won a competition among the kitchen’s chefs to take part in the cook-off. His used bacon, chicken, cream cheese, peppers and a dash of honey to win over the judges.

“We had a little bit of a prep, we knew what one of our ingredients was going to be, the meat, we just created something from there,” said Henry. High Roads special operations manager Hayley Wilson said money raised at the fundraiser would help meet growing demand for iKitchen’s lunches. “We have about 15 or so different selections and that is ever-growing,” she said. “We’re having trouble keeping

up with the demand now, people are really enjoying it.” The iKitchen employees produce between 50 and 100 home-cooked meals daily, learning a combination of cooking and general employment skills as they work. This Friday’s cook-off will help fundraise to expand the kitchen, which currently has four individual workspaces. Wilson said it would also indulge Gorbahn’s love of
cooking shows such as the Food Network’s Chopped. “He’s been pestering me for a while and I’ve been so busy getting the kitchen up and running, I’ve just had a little window to put the event in,” she said. Oktoberchef takes place at iKitchen, 3439 Fulton Avenue, Smithers on Oct. 23 at 6 p.m. Tickets are $10 and can be purchased from iKitchen or Mountain Eagle Books.

Know your credit rating: The higher the rating, the more attractive you look to prospective lenders. Address any issues on your report: Pay down credit cards and auto loans, pay bills on time and address any notices of collections early, avoid opening any other credit accounts. Maintain steady employment: Lenders tend to look for long-term financial stability. Save, save, save: Having more money in the bank makes you appear less risky to lenders. Make sure you have a credit history: Some people think avoiding credit entirely will make them more attractive, but this can backfire. Lenders will want to see a strong credit history that indicates your ability to pay your debts on time.

Chiefs to launch legal action By Alicia Bridges Hazeltons/Interior News
Gitxsan hereditary chiefs from the Luutkudziiwus house group travelled to the LNG in B.C. Conference in Vancouver last week to publicize their plan to launch legal action against the provincial government. Hereditary chiefs Luutkudziiwus (Charlie Wright) and Noola (Norman Moore) and a group of house members are preparing to apply for a judicial review with the B.C. Supreme Court in a bid to have government-issued permits for LNG projects reversed. They went to the Lower Mainland to promote the plan while industry and government were gathered for the annual conference, which ran from Oct. 14-16. Luutkudziiwus territory near
Hazelton is in the path of the TransCanada’s Prince Rupert Gas Transmission (PRGT) pipeline, which would supply gas to the Petronas-owned Pacific NorthWest LNG plant on Lelu Island, near Prince Rupert. Members of the house group have set up the Madii Lii protest camp, which blocks road access to their territory without permission from hereditary chiefs. The PRGT project already has the required environmental certificate and permits from the province, as well as a positive final investment decision pending approval from the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency. But Luutkudziiwus members plan to take the B.C. government to court, saying it issued the provincial permits without sufficient consultation. Members of the house group say the province did not sufficiently consult
hereditary chiefs from Luutkudziiwus, which is one of more than 60 house groups which have their own territories in the Gitxsan Nation under traditional law. They hope the B.C. Supreme Court will reverse the permits issued by the Environmental Assessment Office and BC Oil and Gas Commission. “We are taking the government to court over the lack of consultation, inadequate baseline information presented, a weak and subjective impact assessment and the current cumulative effects from past development,” said spokesperson Richard Wright in a statement issued last Wednesday. He told The Interior News the Luutkudziiwus case would include a proposed new framework to improve consultation with First Nations groups in relation to resources development. See PERMITS on A28

T HREE R IVERS R EPORT Gitxsan disputes permits From CHIEFS on A27 “The consultation process, the federal and provincial government, it doesn’t work for indigenous people,” said Wright. “It hasn’t for the last hundred years and therefore in the litigation we bring forth we are also offering the remedy of a consultation process that we would like to see happen.” Wright said that would involve a more in-depth consultation process, including an inventory of the affected land to shed more light on a project’s potential impacts. He hopes the Supreme Court will reverse the permits issued by the provincial government due to a lack of “meaningful” consultation with hereditary chiefs. The house group is still fundraising to pay for the case but Wright was confident Luutkudziiwus would be ready to file the application within a month. The Minstry of Environment and BC Oil and Gas Commission provided the same written response to questions from The Interior News. “The Province has made significant efforts to consult with First Nations on the project and has ensured, to the fullest extent possible, that potential impacts to Aboriginal interests have been avoided, mitigated, or otherwise accommodated,” it said. Minister for Natural Gas Development Rich Coleman was not available to be interviewed but provided a more detailed written response to questions about the role of hereditary chiefs in consultation. He said the Gitxsan Nation nominated its own spokespeople for dealing with the government. “In the absence of a single entity that represents the Gitxsan, the province consults
directly with identified spokespersons from each house,” he said. “Government has no role in determining who is a hereditary chief or spokesperson for a house group. “The Province relies on the Gitxsan collective to advise.” Luutkudziiwus was among a group of Gitxsan house groups which took legal action collectively against the Gitxsan Treaty Society, which has been involved in negotiations with the B.C. government over pipeline benefits deals. The house groups say the GTS does not have the authority to speak on behalf of all houses in its negotiations with the government. In the case of Spookw vs. Gitxsan Treaty Society, which was filed in 2013, they claimed the GTS should be abandoned because it had not acted in the best interests of the Gitxsan people. The case was dismissed by the Supreme Court of

British Columbia. Coleman said the Gitxsan hereditary system was complex and any disputes over house representation must be resolved by the Gitxsan internally. “Where these disputes remain unresolved, as appears to be the case here, government has shared – and will continue to share – information with house members and asserted leaders at their request,” he said. The governmentrun LNG in B.C. conference in Vancouver attracted more than 3,000 people, including 91 speakers. Premier Christy Clark said interest in the conference was a promising sign the industry had a bright future in B.C. “British Columbia is on the verge of creating a clean, innovative new industry, expanding our capacity to provide clean energy to Asia, and attracting new investments to secure jobs throughout the province,” she said.
