Homeless situationimproving
By Ryan JensenSmithers/Interior News
Steps are being taken to ensure no one is left out in the cold this winter.
A room full of community health professionals gathered with town councillors last week to brainstorm ways to deal with the short-term needs of the homeless community before the mercury drops.
“This has to happen now. This is an emergency. People need to have shelter,” said Joan LeClair with the Smithers Action Group Association.
LeClair estimated the Smithers homeless population to be at between 50 and 100 and said she knows of three people who died last year due to the effects of sleeping outdoors.
Strategies such as building permanent tent camps, gaining access to spaces at churches and gymnasiums, looking at renting available motel rooms, using modified shipping containers and utilizing vacant buildings were all thrown around as possible short-term solutions.
By the end of the two-hour session, High Road Services Society executive director Dana Gorbahn said he would ask his board for the budget to purchase and set up three temporary housing structures on land they own on 16th Ave., across from the Hilltop Pub.
While council and staff said the location on 16th Ave. and Main St. is still up for debate, most seemed to agree the proposal could work for the coming winter. Three shelters could accommodate up to 12 people.
High Road would coordinate health care for the individuals living in the units.
“Another important part is they’ll have a specific location so they can access health care, get a post office box, get identification,” Gorbahn said. “You can’t get those things unless you have a physical location so this could help them achieve those kinds of things.”
High Road Services Society is one organization that is currently working on building a supportive housing project in Smithers.
The other is the Smithers Action Group Association. Town council has given that group a piece of land for a development they are working on. The SAGA project would allow homeless people to have their own space and access to health care services, LeClair said.

NWCC offers free mining course
By Ryan JensenSmithers/Interior News
In response to growing industry demands, Northwest Community College is now offering a mining fundamentals course free to eligible particpants.
The program was developed to assist unemployed individuals gain entry-level employment in
the mining industry and to ensure there is a well-trained workforce in place to staff the major projects taking
place in the region, explained Charlynn Toews, workforce training and continuing studies with NWCC.
In the past, the college has run a similar program for construction helpers and labourers but with the increase in mining activity, they changed the focus this year, Toews said.
“The funding we have is for people who are unemployed and not on EI,” she said.
“This time we changed it up because mining is heating up.”

RCMP targeting distracted drivingThe Smithers
RCMP has teamed up with ICBC to launch a month-long distracted driving campaign.
“It seems to be a temptation for many drivers, not dependant on where they live, to talk or text using a cell phone while they are driving,” said Smithers RCMP Cpl. Weeres.
“The local detachment will be performing targeted patrols with respect to driving while being distracted throughout the month of September, charging
drivers under Section 214 of the Motor Vehicle Act.”
According to ICBC, distracted driving is the third leading cause of fatal crashes in the province, behind speeding and impaired driving. On average, 91 people are killed every year in B.C. due to driver distractions, such as using a hand-held electronic device behind the wheel.
On Sept. 6, RCMP were
called to a motor vehicle accident in Telkwa.
Several vehicles had
slowed in traffic while eastbound on Hwy. 16 near Telkwa High Road. A dump truck attempted to make a stop behind this traffic and was unable to stop before colliding with a pickup truck, which in turn was pushed into a SUV. The driver of the SUV, which sustained minor damage, was
not injured. The pickup truck, which sustained severe damage, had three persons in total in the vehicle, one of which was a young child who was in a child seat. Two dogs were in the box of the truck. All of the occupants were taken to the Smithers hospital by EHS with no apparent injuries. The dogs were not hurt. The driver of the dump truck was charged with Drive Without Due Care and Attention, Section 144(1)(a) of the Motor Vehicle Act.
Over the Labour Day long
weekend, Smithers RCMP monitored the Telkwa Barbecue. Multiple road checks were conducted and officers conducted foot and bike patrols at the BBQ grounds during the concerts. There were no significant issues on the grounds; however, police did arrest 13 persons for Public Intoxication during the concerts. Two other males were arrested and charged for Failing to Comply with court imposed conditions.

The start of the school year is an exciting time for children and we want to help make sure they get to and from school safely.As people return to work and school from summer holidays, drivers should plan for more traffic, be extra cautious and watch for children, especially in or around school zones and cyclists who may be using the 3rd Avenue bike routes to and from school or work.
For drivers• Now that school is back in session, don’t forget that every school day, unless otherwise posted, a 30-km/h speed limit is in
effect in school zones from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. • When you’re dropping off your children in school zones, stop and allow them to exit the car on the side closest to the side-
walk. Never allow a child to cross mid-block.• If a vehicle is stopped in front of you or in the lane next to you, they may be yielding to a pedestrian, so be prepared to
stop.• Always yield to pedestrians – it’s the law.• School buses will be back on our roads. Vehicles approaching from both directions must stop for school buses when their
lights are flashing.• Before getting into your vehicle, make a habit of walking around your vehicle to make sure no small children are behind it.
Always look for pedestrians when you’re backing up.
Tips for parents, students and cyclistsPost these safety tips in your home and review them with your children – even older children need to be reminded about road safety.• Remove your headphones and put away your phone or other gadgets when crossing the street. Focus on the road so you
can see, hear and respond safely.• Make eye contact with drivers, so you both know you see each other.• Teach your child to cross at intersections that have a pedestrian crossing light or a marked crosswalk whenever possible.
Even at a crosswalk, be aware of traffic and always make sure that vehicles are stopped before walking. Use designated crossing points and follow pedestrian traffic signs and signals. Walk your bike across at these crossings.
• Dress to be seen. Wear bright or light colored clothing. In dark or bad weather, wear reflective material on clothes or accessories.
• Always walk on the inside edge of the sidewalk. This way, you’re further away from traffic. If there is no sidewalk, walk facing traffic so you can see oncoming vehicles and drivers see you.
• Never cycle on a sidewalk, pedestrians and drivers exiting buildings, lane-ways, parking lots, and driveways often don’t expect to encounter cyclists on a sidewalk.
• Be aware of parked vehicles in a parking lot or on the road. A driver may not see you between parked vehicles and you may not see them mov-ing. Before crossing or walking through a parking lot, stop and look left-right-left around parked vehicles. Children should avoid taking shortcuts through parking lots.
• If cycling any distance through town, the Town of Smithers encourag-es cyclists of all ages to utilize the newly designated bike route on Third Avenue. Council will consider a bylaw to reduce the speed limit to 30 km/h on Third Avenue in the near future.This reduction in traffic speeds should increase safety for all road users including cyclists.

CUPE talks continueBy Nolan KellySmithers/Interior News
Negotiations between the province at the Canadian Union of Public Employees continued this week in Victoria, but the two sides were unable to come to a deal.
CUPE issued a statement on Friday, stating that they are making progress, but they insist the threat of a strike looms.
“There has been give and take for the first time at the table,” said CUPE president’s
council chair, Colin Pawson. “Discussions are ongoing, but negotiations have reached a critical stage.”
The message from the other side of the table suggests that if talks continue and progress is made, they don’t expect workers to walk off the job.
“Although there are rumours of a job action starting next week, the union is giving no indication that job action will commence while talks continue,” Deborah Stewart, Public School Employers
Association, human resources consultant, said.
If talks do break down, parents will received a 72-hour advance strike notice.
More negotiations are scheduled for this week.
“Because talks are still ongoing, no news is good news,” said CUPE Local 2145 representative, Barbel Schroeter.
“We are hopeful we can reach an acceptable agreement.”
Schroeter was expecting an update at some point this week.
The Vancouver Canucks made their
first trip to the north coast of British Columbia in the franchise’s 43-year history this week, and it was long overdue.
It’s hard to imagine that not once in forty plus years, has the province’s lone NHL team made a trip north of Kamloops.
In that time, they’ve held training camps in Victoria, Powell River, Duncan, Parksville, Kamloops and Vernon. They’ve even held a camp in Sweden.
Which is to say, that at one point in the Canucks history, building a brand in northern Europe and jet setting across the world
was more important that recognizing and appreciating their own die-hard fans in periphery areas of their home province.
The Canucks’ indifference might not show in the north of B.C., but it does in the East of the province, where towns like Revelstoke, Golden and Cranbrook boast more Flames and Oilers fans than they do Canucks fans.
Of course, their trip to the north isn’t a training camp, it’s a simple meet and greet.
Canucks Meet the North includes visits to the communities of Prince Rupert and Massett, B.C. as part of a team activity to the West Coast Fishing
Club in Haida Gwaii.A few photo-ops a
few autographs and a chance for new players to mix with old in the hopes of speeding up the team bonding process.
But is it really asking a lot that the Canucks organization picks one
town in B.C. every year to host a team bonding trip or a training camp?
It’s profound, how much a simple gesture, a three-day trip, can mean to the citizens of these towns. Kids who rarely get a chance to meet NHL heroes might get an autograph, becoming a fan for life.
Assistant GM Lawrence Gilman gets it.
“We are always looking for team building ideas and this allows us to get out to see many of the fans who otherwise never get a chance to see their heroes,” he said. “It also is really humbling to see the fan response and interaction. The whole organization is reminded of the
opportunities and responsibilities we have with our fans.”
Joe Pelletier in The Terrance Standard summed it up perfectly:
“Prince Rupert and Haida Gwaii may not be your typical hockey towns. But they are Canucks towns. They gather around the TV (or maybe the radio on the many fishing boats, in this case) and follow the ups and downs of their favorite team, just like people in the Okanagan or the Lower Mainland. They are very different types of Canucks towns, but on [the] weekend Prince Rupert and Haida Gwaii proved that the famous slogan really is true: “We are all Canucks.”
Iwas very impressed with the ideas and the immediate action coming out of a community discussion hosted by the
Town of Smithers, looking at a short-term solu-tion to the issue of homelessness last week.
The meeting was initiated by Melanie Monds of Positive Living North, who, in July, wrote a letter to town council requesting assistance in facilitating a gathering between community partners to see what can be done to address the issue before the snow flies.
“We’ve identified this as a huge problem but we don’t know what the solution is,” Monds told The Interior News earlier this summer.
“What are we going to do this coming win-ter? What’s our interim plan?”
It was estimated by service providers at the meeting there are between 50 and 100 people who would be considered homeless currently living in the community. For a town of this size, that number is staggering.
Currently, two organizations, High Road Services Society and the Smithers Action Group Association, are working on proposals to build facilities that would help to address this issue, but those projects may be as long as five years away from completion.
Some of the ideas shared at the meeting included setting up a temporary “tent town,” near town-owned washroom facilities, asking churches to share their space during the win-ter months and utlizing vacant buildings in the town to house homeless people.
At the end of the session, Dana Gorbahn, executive director of the High Road Services Society, committed to asking his board for enough money to purchase and set up three temporary shelters, enough to house up to 12 people, and provide health care services to them for the winter.
That’s a great start. This is a crisis and a community as innova-
tive and creative as Smithers should be able to come up with a solution.
“This has to happen now,” said Joan LeClair with the Smithers Action Group Association. “This is an emergency.”

Action on POINT OF VIEW
Sound volume ruined concert
Editor:The following is an open
letter to the Bulkley Valley Kinsmen.
I would like to comment on one aspect of your wonderful, well organized weekend barbecue.
When I learned that Emerson Drive was coming to your event, I was really excited as they are one of the best country and western bands ever. Five of us bought the $45 tickets and were prepared to have a good time.
We were very disappointed as the sound volume was so loud we couldn’t hear the music. The band was putting on a good show and the lead singer was singing his heart out but we couldn’t hear his great voice. The drums, the stomach churning bass and some horrible screeching drowned him out.
Someone on the sound board should have clued in that the volume was too high when the announcers’ voices were distorted
before the music even started. All of us had tissues stuffed in our ears and we left early because we were not enjoying ourselves.
Hillbilly Scrabble was great and their sound volume was perfect so what happened later?
Respectfully,D.J. White
Sound at concert a
disappointmentEditor :
I was so looking forward to going to a concert at the Telkwa BBQ this year because I had missed out getting a ticket the previous year. Although I had seen the new stage, I hadn’t heard a performance on it. A group of five of us chose to go to Emerson Drive, the country performance, and even Googled them to hear some of their songs.
After enjoying the two opening acts, we were all
set for Emerson Drive. It started with a bang.
Yes, literally, the volume of the music was so loud that all hands went for our ears. You had to shout to the person next to you and then could barely be heard. And the noise, not music, continued.
We all thought the sound mixers would recognize that the volume was too loud. Though the lead singer showed such energy you couldn’t understand a word he was saying. You never heard the keyboard, because
the volume of the drums and guitars completely drowned them out.
After half an hour, people were saying they were leaving. At this point, I got enough courage to go to the sound mixer and having to shout, I asked if the volume might be too loud because people were in fact leaving. After about 10 minutes, he took a little walk forward in a circle but nothing changed.
I am by no means an expert but I have gone to the Merritt music festival
a few times and go to our own Midsummer Music Festival yearly. Never once have I heard music as loud as this so it was actually noise and hurt your ears.
Noticing that the friend next to me was not enjoying herself, I decided to get in a huddle and ask the rest if they wanted to stay or leave. It was a unanimous decision to leave. I
found that in itself speaks volumes when people spend $45 for a ticket.
So because of the volume of the music it has become a disappointment for all of us. The five of us went home, vowing not to return next year. Emerson Drive was not appreciated for their dynamics, they look like a really great band.
It was a disappointment for all the Telkwa people who got that wonderful stage built so we can bring in talent like Emerson Drive. And
a disappointment for the Telkwa Kinsmen who work so hard to put on the BBQ each year.
That’s my opinion.Jackie Hoskins
Bikers should payEditor :
The Smithers taxpayers should not have to pay all the costs for the infrastructure used by the bikers.
It is high time that the bikers pay fees to support and pay for their use of the streets, the roads and any sidewalk or trail designated for bike use.
All bike riders should have to purchase a license. They may only get a license after passing real tests based upon public safety and the normal rules of the road. The license may be cancelled should the holder be charged with unsafe use, etc.
It seems that these people have the protection of third-party insurance to avoid extreme costs when there are accidents.

HOSKINS FORD SALES LTD Hwy 16, Smithers
250-847-2237 1-800-663-7765 www.hoskinsford.comThis is Ford Country
By Nolan KellySmithers/Interior News
Smithers native Antje Seydlitz-Kurzbach and her three Canadian teammates, Carling Zeeman, Kate Goodfellow and Emily Cameron, shocked the rowing world in Korea last week, winning silver in the 2,000-metre women’s quadruple sculls.
It was Canada’s first medal in the event in more than a decade and Seydlitz-Kurzbach’s first medal at the senior level.
After a summer of mixed results in Europe, including a recent ninth-place finish in their last competition, the Canadian coaches decided to switch things up in the lead up to the rowing worlds. They replaced two of the four rowers on Seydlitz-Kurzbach’s team, but she survived the chopping block.
In their first race, the Canadian women’s sculls team was ranked dead last and were
given an outside lane and an outside shot of making it through the opening heat.
The team’s goals were modest: make it through to the final race.
On the first day of competition,
the Canadian team found themselves in a heat with four other countries they had previously lost to this season: Poland, Austria, the U.S. and Belarus.
The Canadians fell behind the leaders
from Poland early, but rowed a strong second 500 metres to take the lead. For the next 1,000 metres the two teams battled neck and neck, exchanging leads, but in the final 500 metres the Canadians pulled away and never looked back.
The victory meant Seydlitz-Kurzbach and the Canadian rowers qualified directly to the final, avoiding the repechage three days later.
“Earlier in the year, it was our goal to make the A final,”
Seydlitz-Kurzbach said. “As we got closer to the competition, we realized we had a bit of speed and power, and we adjusted our expectations and aimed for a podium finish.”
With a week off between events, the
team trained twice a day and opted to stay in a secluded hotel, away from the crowded competition.
In the final, the favourites from Germany came out quickly. They built a two-second lead on Canada and Poland by the 500-metre mark. Germany continued to pull away from the group, but Canada managed to put some distance between themselves and Poland in third place by the 1,000-metre mark. Poland came storming back during the last half of the race to within milliseconds of second place, but Seydlitz-Kurzbach and her team dug deep to hold on for the silver medal.
“It was nerve-racking, trying to hold off the Poles,” Seydlitz-Kurzbach said. “But exciting at the same time.”
For Seydlitz-Kurzbach, the victory was sweet; it was the culmination of years of effort.

“I’ve thought about it and this is definitely my favourite moment of my career so far. I won gold at the Under-23s but it’s a whole different ball game at the senior level.”
After a week to relax and soak it all in, Seydlitz-Kurzbach and the Canadian team are already back to the grind.
Now, Seydlitz-Kurzbach begins the arduous journey towards her next major goal: the 2016 summer Olympics in Rio De Janeiro.
It’s not going to be easy.
She’s moved from Victoria, where she was finishing her undergraduate degree in microbiology, to London, Ontario for full-time training with the Canadian rowing team.
Rowers with the national team participate in three training sessions a day, four days a week. Her days begin at 7:30 a.m. and finish 12 hours later.
She’ll train in London until next summer, when the next round of big rowing competitions begin in 2014 and
the national team heads back to Europe for the World Cup schedule and the world championships in Amsterdam.
In between, she’ll have to find time to study for her four online courses as she attempts to finish off her degree.
After she finishes her schooling, she’ll begin to focus solely on rowing for the foreseeable future.
“I would like to go back to school at some point,” Seydlitz-Kurzbach said. “I’m interested in medicine and medical research, but that’s too far away to know at this point.”
She credits the sacrifice she’s made for her sport with teaching her the discipline necessary to get through such a tough schedule.
“I have learned so much through rowing. I guess sometimes the volume of training can be a negative, especially
with school. But its taught me to have dedication to my goals and I know that if I work hard, I can achieve those goals.”
Personal bests, like the silver in Korea, will get her through the long winter months ahead.
“Sometimes you question why you do it,” she said.
“The insane amounts of time and effort you put in and you don’t get any rest. But when you are on the water you get so much speed.”
“It feels like you are flying, it’s effortless.”

Grant Maskiewich became the first golfer from Smithers to win the Northern Open in more than a decade over the Labour Day long weekend.

Smithers born and raised golfer Grant Maskiewich became the first local resident to win the Northern Open in more than a decade, with his two-stroke victory over Kitimat’s Dave Venman during the Labour Day tournament.
“It’s been a dream of mine ever since I caddied for my dad as a kid,” Maskiewich told the crowd at the Smithers Golf and
Country Club shortly after his victory.
“Thanks everyone for the support, my family for everything they have done for me, I couldn’t have done it without them, my playing partners. It was great playing with you. Dave Venman, sorry for ruining your streak — but not really –– I hope to see everyone next year.”
The three-day event came down to the final few holes. It was between Venman, current title holder of the Terrace Open,
Prince Rupert Open and Kitimat Open, and Maskiewich.
With the hometown boy up by three strokes with only four holes to play, Maskiewich bogeyed the par five 15th, and Venman birdied to pull within one.
“I was definitely feeling nervous at that point,” Maskiewich said.
But on the following hole, Maskiewich settled down and rattled off the first of three straight pars. Venman
bogeyed 16, and Maskewich held on for a two-stroke victory.
“I’m excited and relieved,” he said right after the tournament.

Smithers native posts two-stroke victory
“I just wanted to give myself a chance to win and that’s all I can really ask for,” said Maskiewich.” “It was a tough start, I was scram-bling a little bit, but I made a few good putts and I held it together.” It was a great day for local golfers in Smithers, who were happy to see one of their own take home the trophy. “Yeah, it was nice to see him win,” said organizer Chris Herkel.
“It’s been a long time since the last local won it. Grant was a junior mem-ber here for years until he went off to school, it was nice to see him come out on top after all the hard work he’s done on his game. He’s getting better and better all time.” After the victory, Maskiewich celebrat-ed the win and his 21st birthday with his family. He’s has already gone back to school at Camosun Col-lege, where he is currently beginning his second-to-last year in his university program.
This month, Maskiewich and the Camosun golf team will travel to four dif-ferent tournaments around the province in an an attempt to qualify for the na-tionals in Quebec. Camosun has tied for first place in the province in each of the last two years.
Grant plans to finish off his degree at Camosun College and think about his golf career after that. “Its going to depend on how my game progresses and where I’m at after college to decide if I want to pursue a career in golf or go elsewhere,” Maskie-wich said. Overall, the tournament was a rousing success. In total, 155 players competed in five dif-ferent flights. The course was in great shape, the weather held up and the players had fun. After the tourna-ment finished, play-ers gathered at the restaurant to receive their prizes. “We always want to keep players coming out to our event, and we think we run a very good event, especially for the out-of-towners,” Herkel said. The only criticism from the weekend seemed to be the five- to six-hour rounds, which re-sulted in complaints of slow play. Chris Hinkel was prag-matic. “It happens from time to time. We have so many people at different levels, so its not like everyone plays like a PGA tour player. We just have to deal with it.”Results:

Smithers and Quick host Terry Fox fundraising runs
Const. McCreesh prepares for Tour de NorthBy Ryan JensenSmithers/Interior News
Smithers RCMP Const. Jennifer McCreesh is preparing for a gruelling 900-km bike ride across northern B.C. to raise money for paediatric cancer research.
The demanding Cops for Cancer Tour de North begins Friday in Fort St. John and travels through Prince George south to Williams Lake. Riders will complete the trek on Sept. 19.
“It’s an amazing opportunity, not only to meet new people and try something different, but I also love to hear everyone’s stories about why they are riding and what motivates them,” McCreesh said.
This year’s Tour de North team is made up of 23 RCMP members, one BC Ambulance
rider, two members of the community and one media representative.
For McCreesh, as with many of the other riders taking part, the Tour de North is a personal journey.
“I have lost a few family members to cancer and it was very humbling to see some of the strongest people I had ever known just waste away,” she said.
She is also riding in memory of good friend and previous tour teammate Greg Pichler.
This is McCreesh’s four consecutive year taking part in the ride. Because of her previous experience, she is also the Tour de North’s nutritional adviser.
In preparation, McCreesh has been pedalling between Smithers and Houston regularly as well as taking part in dryland training sessions.
Last week, McCreesh hosted a Jail n’ Bail fundraiser, bringing in more than $8,000. Twenty-six individuals were brought to jail over the six-hour fundraiser, almost double the number who had originally signed up to take part.
“Over the course of the day, people were wanting revenge on the people that put them in the cell,” McCreesh said. “There were a lot of people involved who I didn’t expect and everyone was a really good sport about it.”
One prisoner, Chris Hui, raised about $1,200 of that total.
The Jail n’ Bail event was also supported by Bulkley Valley Wholesale, Extra Foods, Safeway, McDonalds and the Canadian Cancer Society.
Money brought in
during Tour de North also goes to help fund Camp Goodtimes, a summer camp for children suffering from cancer. The camp is staffed entirely by
volunteers and doubles as a fully-functioning medical facility.
The Tour de North is one of four Cops for Cancer bike journeys going on across the
province this month. The others are Tour de Coast – Greater Vancouver, Tour de Rock – Vancouver Island and Tour de Valley – Fraser Valley.

More than 30 years after the Marathon of Hope, Terry Fox continues to inspire.
On Sept. 15, Bulkley Valley residents will join runners of all ages from around the world in raising money for cancer research for the annual Terry Fox Run.
Last year in Smithers about $2,800 was raised by 176 participants, said Terry Fox Run organizer Beck Lake.
In Quick, 43 people brought in $800.
Volunteer Irene Williams has been involved in the event in one way or another since the very beginning and said she vividly remembers when Fox began his cross-Canada journey in 1980.
“I think I was inspired because he was such a young man,” she said. “The fact that he was so young and moved so many people made a huge impression on me. I think he is a real inspiration to our youth.”
She began participating in the event as a runner
when living in Yellowknife, but has
since shifted her focus to volunteering.
“[When I started running again] I used
Terry Fox as my inspiration,” Williams said. “I would train on what was the Terry Fox route. When I hurt my knees and could no longer run, I decided that I could participate as a volunteer.”
Two runs are taking place in the Bulkley Valley on Sunday. The Smithers event begins with registration at noon at the Central Park building at Main St. and Hwy. 16. The five or 10 km run will follow at 1 p.m.
In Quick, registration begins at 1 p.m. at St. John’s Anglican
Church and the run follows at 1:30. The 10 km gravel route is not suitable for wheelchairs, strollers or rollerblades.
There is no entry fee to take part and no minimum donation is required.
The Terry Fox Run began in 1981, and now takes place in more than 60 countries across the world. It is the world’s largest one-day fundraiser for cancer research.
In just over 30 years, more than $500 million has been raised to go toward cancer research.

Mucklestone a master at steeking
On my walk with Rosie the pug we
see a great variety of mushrooms. White button ones, dark and light brown ones, some that look like small saucers with pale yellow and cream colors around the rim. Even small black ones. Tried to grow mushrooms once, won’t do that again as it totally creeped me out. Instructions were to grow them in a dark place so I put everything in a closet and checked on them often. Suddenly it seemed like the entire closet was covered in a sort of white dust/mould. It was on everything. It took all my inner strength to get rid of everything, felt like I could not sleep until all of it was gone or it would take over my place, take over me and
my bed! Mary Jane
Mucklestone, Fair Isle expert and author of Fair Isle Style speaks on the history of Fair Isle knitting. Originated in British Isles’ northernmost tiny island of Fair Isle. Produced continuously for 200 years or more, is still popular. Looks complex but is actually simple to create. True Fair Isle knitting never uses more than two colors in any row and with the instructions by Ms. Mucklestone you can turn out beautiful items, even master the technique of steeking, a shortcut used in knitting sweaters in the round without interrupting your knitting for openings or sleeves. You complete a tube then cut a straight line along the center of a column of stitches, making room
for an opening. The steek is a bridge of extra stitches, was developed and is associated with Fair Isle. I would be terrified to cut into a knitted garment but there seems to be a set of instructions to do it right.
A word I haven’t heard in a long time: skedaddle – to run away hurriedly, flee.
A big Happy Birthday to Marg Lubbers who is entering her 90th year! She says she still has lots to do so here is wishing you time to do everything on your list.
Saw Betty Kennedy uptown and she told me she had attended a family reunion in Whistler. Forty-three members attended, from four months to the eldest at 77. The group contained seven brothers and sisters
and they spent nine days enjoying what Whistler had to offer. Betty took the Peak to Peak gondola and was brave enough to take an open chairlift back. Her 69-year-old sister went ziplining with grandchildren, others went bungee jumping. Betty’s brother Chuck Price is now visiting in Smithers until October, taking a side trip to Stewart to visit Betty’s son John. It sounds like everyone had a great time and visiting is continuing for awhile longer.
Victor Borge is my favourite musician. He combined comedy with music; his anti-Nazi jokes put him on Hitler’s enemies list. He died in 2000.
Closing with: Laughter is the closest distance between two people. Victor Borge.

OUR TOWNEhrstien turning Rejected into paying jobBy Ryan JensenSmithers/Interior News
Dale Ehrstien is still being a jackass.
But now, after years of hurting himself while filming stunts for the internet, Ehrstien seems poised to be able to make this his full-time, paying gig.
Ehrstien and his friends, the Rejected crew, grew up in Smithers and first made headlines in The Interior News in 2006 after some of their hi-jinx gained the attention of school officials and the RCMP.
The key, Ehrstien said, was getting off drugs and cutting down on his alcohol consumption.
“I just had to get off the weed,” Ehrstien said. “I’m staying sober and focusing — that’s the key.”
It was a near fatal ecstasy overdose in 2009 that helped convince Ehrstien he needed to get his life back on track.
Currently living in working in Prince George, Ehrstien is in the middle of working his way through a carpentry apprenticeship while filming stunts he creates in his spare time. He also has his own graphic design business, Nork Designs and Clothing.
“People think I’m this messed-up weirdo on drugs but it’s actually the
opposite — I have a pretty sturdy life,” he said. “I don’t do drugs, I barely drink.”
The Rejected crew first caught the attention of a producer of NBC’s primetime series Most
Outrageous Moments and their videos have since appeared on shows such as The Colbert Report.
The clips are not for the squeamish and shouldn’t be viewed by kids, but there is a certain segment of the population that can’t get enough of them, Ehrstien said.
“Basically, we say it straight forward — ‘Do you want to see a video of me on fire?’,” Ehrstien said. “It’s the shock value that makes people watch it. We make sure it’s not directed at the wrong audience. I’m not going to show my grandma this stuff.”
The original Rejected movie, filmed and edited by Smithers’ Stuart Smith, is still garnering attention and just surpassed 92,000 views on YouTube and their YouTube channel still attracts about 2,000 views a week.
Last year, Ehrstien was added to Canadian hip-hop artist Madchild’s family of musicians, DJs and athletes, the Battleax Warriors. The movement is a worldwide community of like-minded people who all support each other in their various projects.
Madchild performs in Smithers on Sept. 27 and said he loves to see when his friends are taking steps to improve their lives.
“I love when Battleaxe Warriors have their own things going on and represent the family and represent the positivity and aren’t afraid to go out there and be different, be a non-conformist and not be afraid to have goals and achieve them,” Madchild said.
“If he wants to light himself on fire and ride a bike in my next video, he’s more than welcome.”
More recently, Ehrstien was contacted by the producer responsible for MTV’s Careless Teens about being a part of his new show called, Saved by the Status.
With his ultimate goal of supporting himself by filming and producing over-the-top stunts getting closer to reality, Ehrstien said he would like to share his message with high school students, encouraging them to stay away from drugs and to follow their dreams.
Dale Erhstein may finally be turning his love for extreme stunts into a full-time job. Contributed photo

Smithers, BC� e Aspen Inn & Suites and Riverhouse Restaurant are trying to do their part in going green. Over the years they have collectively worked on ways to minimize the impact their facility has on the environment. Colin Bate-man general manager of � e Aspen Inn & Suites and Riverhouse Restaurant said, “ In the restaurant we now use biodegradable napkins and use 100% recycleable take out cups and containers. In addition, in the kitchen the cooking oil is picked up and used to power vehicles and the le� over food is used to feed livestock.” � e hotel portion of the business also plays its part by o� er-ing a salt water pool and a towel program to encourage patrons to use what is necessary. � is has saved the hotel almost 20% in detergent cost.

A simple shampoo the way to go
I wanted shampoo not lunch! What is this ingredient
frenzy with shampoo products. Fruit and vegetables rubbed on our head are supposed to give us great hair. Maybe not like the people on TV with long flowing locks, but it will do wonders for follicles.
I don’t know about you but I had always thought that good hair was from good nutrition. Hair is washed when it looked like it needs it. I know that because of the new concept of constant shower needs hair might be washed many times a week or even a day. I wash my hair every two days. Too often will
remove the good oil from your hair as well as your skin. People can’t be that dirty — can they?
There are supplements that they say will help you have good hair. Flax seed oil, vitamin E,Vitamin C, and omega 3 fish oil. Of course you can eat tuna or salmon. Chow down on swiss chard and spinach. If your nails are not that great use some gelatin to help that. Swallow it, don’t rub it on. You won’t need those ugly stick on variety.
How do you decide
on the shampoo that will clean your hair? There is the kind for thick hair, coloured hair, frizzy hair, gray hair or blond. There is shampoo that contains all manner of vitamins and fruit etc. that we are told will make your hair thick and shiny. You can buy conditioner or a shampoo that has both conditioner and shampoo. How many varieties do we need for clean hair? I just wanted shampoo- just shampoo. Fancy containers, enticing brand names, anything
to get your dollar.Why not look for a
simple shampoo, don’t wash your hair too much and eat well. Rain water makes for great hair and vinegar rinse will get rid of residual soap.
What did I buy? I bought Pantene for regular hair. I will take flax seed oil and a few other supplements to make my hair and nails worthy of my age.
Maybe a good haircut is in order. Call me at 250-846-5095 or e-mail your lovely hair secrets to [email protected].

Blackstock � ghts for kids’ rightsBy Jerome TurnerHazelton/Interior News
Cindy Blackstock, who is Gitxsan and has family in the Hazeltons, is nearing the end of a long battle with the Canadian government to determine whether inequalities for First Nations’ children exist.
The dispute began in 2007 after the First Nations Child and Family Caring Society of Canada, of which Blackstock is executive director, and the Assembly of First Nations combined to launch a human rights complaint alleging the federal government funds child welfare on reserves worse than for the rest of Canada.
The allegations received a substantial endorsement in 2008 from then-Canadian Auditor General, Sheila Fraser, whose office released a regular report including a chapter on the state
of aboriginal children’s services in Canada.
“I don’t know if we are going to win,” Blackstock said.
“But I think the evidence is overwhelmingly in our favour.”
The CHR tribunal differs from any other to date in Canada because the issues it will address are ongoing and the Canadian government could be found to willfully discriminate against aboriginal children, especially in B.C.
“This is about stopping harm from happening as opposed to looking back,” Blackstock said.
The FNCFCS was working with both the federal and provincial governments to create solutions to the plethora of difficulties facing aboriginal children in the early 2000s.
“It took us seven years of banging our heads against a wall to decide we had to take this to court,” Blackstock said about the governmental delay
in applying national policy solutions, adding the changes would have altered the face of childcare in Canada.
“That’s an entire childhood of delay and a lot of children put in care that would have been able to remain in their home communities.”
Shortly after the formal complaint was issued the Canadian government cut all funding for the FNCFCS, Blackstock said.
The CHR tribunal hearing should be complete in January with a decision on the matter set for release in the summer of 2014.
“It’s historic,” Blackstock said. “What would’ve happened if there’d been a trial like this on residential schools when they were happening? Could a difference have been made for those kids? Well, it wasn’t possible then, but it is happening now.”
I’M COMING AT YOU BROTwin brothers, Robert and David Charette, who just started Grade 9 have made quite the impression on the mountainbiking scene. See story on page B7.

RCMP warn of vacation caller fraudNew Hazelton RCMP responded to
a total of 78 calls between Aug. 29 and Sept. 4.
Aug. 31 - Unknown persons entered a house on Andimaul Street in Gitsegukla, while the resident was away, leaving the house in disarray.
Aug. 31 - A residence on James Woods Place in Glen Vowell was entered through a broken rear window after 11 p.m. Police are seeking witnesses or anyone with knowledge of the incident.
Sept. 1 - In the early morning, police received a complaint of a vehicle stunting at the junction of Highway 16 and Highway 37.
Sept. 2 - Police were called to a single vehicle incident on Highway 37 at the 30 kilometre mark. A motorcycle was
discovered, which was determined to have sustained a tire blow-out and entered the ditch. The rider was found injured and transported to hospital.
Sept. 3 - During a vehicle stop in Gitsegukla, the driver displayed signs of impairment. The driver failed the roadside screening device and was investigated for impaired driving. Charges for impaired driving and prohibited driving are pending.
Be aware of unsolicited calls where the caller claims that you have won a vacation. The caller then pressures

New funds for doulas available in B.C.By Jerome TurnerHazelton/Interior News
Funding for doulas, people who provide support for mothers before, during and after a baby’s birth, is now available through the B.C. Aboriginal Friendship Centre Society, but the services they provide are for every expectant mother, according to a local doula.
“A doula is what is known as a mother-to-the-mother,” Judy Calhoun, who is a doula trainer and has been a doula for 17 years explains.
“We give physical and emotional support to the mother. A mid-wife or doctor is responsible for all the medical side of birth and a doula is
trained to deal with everything else, like staying with mother and child after birth to assist in getting breastfeeding going right away.”
Doulas are invaluable to some, according to Calhoun.
“Most women don’t invite just anyone to their children’s birth,” Calhoun added.
“Doulas are people who can be trusted and relied upon in one of life’s most pivotal moments. We lower the need for medical intervention, decrease hospital time throughout pregnancy and increase the chance a mother will breastfeed, which is beneficial for both mother and baby.”
Calhoun has travelled to nearly
every town in the northwest to give support to mothers, who opt for the support of a doula, so flexibility is also part of what a doula offers.
“We can be anywhere,” she said.
“Whereas a nurse is bound to where they work.”
A new development in B.C. regarding doulas is aboriginal women can apply for funding to pay for a doula through the B.C. Aboriginal Friendship Centre Society.
This new development will enable the around a dozen doulas in
the Hazelton area to get paid for services they had previously offered for free, according to Calhoun.
“Doulas are usually paid for out of pocket, whereas everything else is paid for through the B.C. medical system,” she added.
“Most people these days don’t have extra cash lying around, so this is a substantial event. It is such an important step taken by the friendship centre society.”
For more information about doulas visit dona.org, which is the site of the regulatory
body for Doulas International.
For more information about how to access funding through the Smithers BCAFCS call 250-847-5211.

Indian Chiefs Stewart Phillip, grand chief. The gathering is part of a roadblock in opposition to Fortune Minerals Inc.’s anthracite coal mine, which the Tahltan people don’t want to happen.

Twins aim to take zone playoffs and beyond
By Jerome TurnerHazelton/Interior News
The downhill mountainbiking duo that is taking the northwest by storm has essentially been a team from day one.
Twins, Robert and David Charette, 14, who have only been competing in mountainbiking competitions for about a year, have already secured a substantial sponsor - Specialized- who has provided them with shoes, two pairs of shorts each, jerseys and two sets of tires each.
“We probably got our sponsorship easier than most,” Robert said.
“We ordered our bikes in Smithers and went back a week later to look at some tires and the owner said he signed us up for some kind of sponsorship and awhile later we got a call to come sign on and pick out around $1,000 of gear.”
Dave Percy, proprietor of C.O.B. Bike Shop, said he is more than impressed with the twin riders and made sure to help them out any way he could.
“We noticed
them right away last year because they were the youngest participants,” Percy said.
“They kept coming into the shop and were planning on going to races. I found out they were only in Grade 8 and already so dedicated to the sport, I decided to help them out through the Specialized program.”
Since last year the brothers have competed in various places in B.C. including the Big Pig in Burns Lake.
“It was go-go-go from start to finish this year,” Robert said, as opposed to last year’s race which had a steep ascent followed by a massive downhill.
“Last year’s race was a lot more technical.”
In addition to the differences in terrain and the technical aspect, the Burns Lake course was 10 kilometres longer this year and the twins were able to cut nearly an hour off their previous time.
The humble teens point to the Specialized sponsorship as playing one of the biggest roles in their improvements.
“The new front-
suspension, hard-tail bikes, which we paid for, weigh about 25 pounds,” Robert said.
“Our bikes last year were 30 pounds and you can instantly notice the difference. Equipment means so much in mountainbiking and of course training helped too.”
When training in the Smithers area the Charette twins are known to do more than 11 laps of the track, when other much older riders do about five.
“If they stick with it it won’t be long until they’re beating us,” Percy said.
Up next for the twins is the Terrace mountain race and Upchuck, which happens in Smithers.
Zones could be held this fall in Burns Lake, due to the potential for snow to still be on the ground next spring before provincials.
Robert and David Charette are on their way to making waves in the mountainbike world.
