Canada Day celebrations attracted residents to the Vanderhoof Community Museum this July 1 and cel-ebrators were not disappointed.

Mayor Gerry Thiessen was at the event and gave a speech about appreciating the freedom that Canada offers. He told a story about a conversation with a cab driver and how hard he worked on his own personal journey to becoming a Canadian.

Just as Thiessen was telling everyone to “enjoy the freedom” a train � ew past and blew its horn. There could have been no clearer image of Canada at no more perfect of a time. The trains that cross our country con-nected us and helped build the identity of our nation.

Many vendors were set up at the event with cotton candy and burgers for everyone. A local woodcarver, Mike Craig, was selling various homemade wooden objects.

The Apple Chors choir band got everyone on their feet singing the national anthem. Their performance was followed by the Good News Band, the Sinkut Mountain Boys and Sheeba Belly Dancers.

Before any of the events at the museum began, many residents participated in the Mary John Senior Legacy walk from the Saik’uz Reserve convenience store to the Vanderhoof museum. After which, there was an Aboriginal welcome message along with sing-ing, drums and storytelling.

Back at the museum, the residents relaxed and tried to hide in the shade on the scorching Canada day. The kids enjoyed the barrel train, face painting, crafts and games. As well as the annual scavenger hunt, histori-cally themed, participants had to race through the old

Effective January 1, 2014, an exemption from the carbon tax will be provided to farmers on the purchase of coloured gas and coloured diesel fuel, part of a series of measures aimed at supporting the agri-foods industry.

This exemption will be applicable to coloured gasoline

and coloured diesel fuel that is purchased by farmers for the same farm purposes that farmers are currently authorized to use coloured fuel under the Motor Fuel Tax Act, and in-cludes use in on-farm equipment and in eligible farm trucks on the highway.

The B.C. Government recognizes that a strong agri-foods industry bene� ts all British Columbians. The June update of the 2013 budget provides a total bene� t of approximately $11 million annually to farmers through the carbon tax ex-

emption on coloured fuels and a grant program for commer-cial greenhouse growers.

“I’m strongly in favour of measures that help our cattle-men stay competitive, and providing a carbon tax exemption on coloured fuels is a good way of doing that,” said John Rustad, Nechako Lakes MLA. “This will help cattlemen here in Nechako Lakes continue to provide locally-grown food at reasonable prices, and that’s great not only for them, but for consumers as well.”

buildings looking for the speci� c items on their list.All the celebrations came to a close at 5 p.m. when the mu-

seum closed. Many residents then drove to Fort St. James for the � reworks at 11 p.m.

Canada Day is a celebration of the enactment of the British North America Act in 1867. From 1879 to 1982 Canada Day

was actually known as Dominion day in reference to the Do-minion of Canada in the BNA Act.

When it was � nally changed, many people protested that Canadians were losing their connections to the past but cel-ebrations have continued and every year Canadians take a mo-ment to remember and appreciate their country.

You may have heard the terms acute and chronic when discussing problems or illnesses but do you know what they mean when it comes to dealing with an issue?When you have anything acute it means something severe, sudden or brief, when talking about illnesses this means something that has come on suddenly, with not much warning. Mainstream medicine is fantastic for many acute conditions as it has a great success with � rst responding.Herbal medicine and some other complimentary therapies deal with helping the body to heal on its own, and these are not usually symptomatic remedies.Chronic illnesses are a bit more complex, they are the long standing health issues that can last for months or years, at most times they become lifelong and a bother for day to day living. Chronic conditions usually develop as a result of the body being overtaxed, overused, over abused, or simply it turning on itself. Arthritis is an example of this, it is a state of chronic in� ammation. When you have chronic in� ammation, (that doesn’t go away) you begin to develop some problems, not only some pain but problems such as stiffness, aching etc. when this goes on for a short while it is not a big problem, when it goes on for months you can imagine how debilitating it can be. Complementary and alternative medicine has many things to offer for chronic conditions, but it should be understood that symptomatic relief does nothing to heal the process causing the troubles, chronic conditions can take months to deal with holistically, the end result is not to deal with the symptoms but to help your body heal the injury so that it doesn’t cause problems anymore. I often hear people grumble about the time it takes to deal with a chronic condition, but think about this: it took years to put yourself into that state, and months to heal it (some conditions can be dif� cult and should be dealt with only by proper practitioners well versed in that area) also think about whether its worth burying symptoms as they may get worse and worse, or to deal with the core causing the problem and potentially provide the rest of your life with relief without needing anymore ‘band aids’Acute conditions are the best time to deal with problems before they become chronic.Its best to lead a preventative lifestyle with healthy foods, good exercise, and to better take proper care of yourself to prevent issues. Having a great anti-oxidant such as PROTANDIM is scienti� cally proven to reduce oxidative stress in the blood. Oxidative stress is the leading cause of chronic complaints.Next week Oxidative stress

Our pet of the week is Buddy. This 2 year old Terrier cross is a bundle of energy. He would be great for an active family. This little tornado will keep you on your toes. He will benefit from structure and obedience training. He is eager to please, and loves to play with other dogs, but a meet and greet will be a must. Since he can be a little overwhelming for a more timid dog.

Vanderhoof’s municipal arena has un-dergone hundreds of thousands of dollars in construction throughout the past nine years.

Now the � oors are getting ripped out and replaced for the � rst time in over a couple decades. The current � oor is a stiff and cracking material that has already

been patched in quite a few places. The new � oor will be a rubber composite, able to withstand skate traf� c and maintain its new appearance for years to come.

“It should last about 30 years,” said Shallon Touet, Vanderhoof arena manag-er. “We won’t have to replace it while I’m here anyway.”

Touet has worked long and hard to make the Vanderhoof arena what it is. He “beats the pavement” trying to get as

many clubs, dances, sports and any other event into the arena.

The new � oor is for the space around the rink, in the bathrooms and in the lobby.

The arena is expected to open a little later this year, near the beginning of Oc-tober is what Touet estimates. The reason behind opening a couple weeks later is to save money, council is hoping to be able to save a little money for Vanderhoof this year.

The BC Northern Real Estate Board re-leased its second quar-terly report for 2013 which revealed that so far this year it’s a buy-ers market.

The BC Northern Real Estate Board re-ports 2,363 properties sold in the first six months of 2013 down from 2,483 the year before.

“The North and in particular the North-west regions of our Board area continue to experience a strong housing market,” said Gisela Janzen, board president in a news release. “While the market in the Central and Southern regions

of the Board remain stable and fairly un-changed due to the overall slow economic recovery throughout the rest of the prov-ince. With interest rates remaining rela-tively low coupled with a large supply of homes for sale, it is a good time for buyers to enter the market.”

Vanderhoof is in-cluded in the Central region of the board, the region which re-mained “fairly un-changed.” Realtors in the Vanderhoof area sold 42 properties worth $9.7 million in the first six months of 2013. In 2012 there were 54 sales for $10.6 million. This makes a decrease of 23 per cent in units but

Housing market strong in North, not in Vanderhoof

only a 9 per cent drop in capital.

The downward trend shouldn’t alarm any residents accord-ing to Stan Irvine, owner of RE/MAX Vanderhoof.

“We’re a little be-hind last year as far as dollar volume and sales but what of-ten happens is when April, May and June, sometimes our busi-est months of the year, when they’re not busy we tend to have busier months later on. Ev-erything levels out by the end of the year, we find that happens quite a bit. As long as inter-est rates stay down which I think they’re going to for the next couple years, I don’t see the market slow-

ing down too much.”Irvine added that he

believed Vanderhoof was going to have a pretty good housing market for the sum-mer and fall. He said that as long as Van-derhoof’s mills and mines stay strong then the town has a very good future.

The numbers were down in Fort St. James as well. The Fort had 10 properties worth $2.2 million in 2013. In the year before they sold 17 properties worth $3.6 million. That’s a decrease of about 40 per cent in both units and sales.

Gisela Janzen and the board forecast an improvement in over-all sales activity due to an improving econ-

omy during the second half of the year.

The board released the information us-ing properties sold through sold through the Multiple Listing Service.

CONTINUOUS EAVESTROUGHING


On the evening of July 2, RCMP responded to a situation at Glen’s Motor Hotel on First street involv-ing a local woman who is in custody for four counts of assault with a weapon.

At about 9 or 9:30 p.m. a local adult female got into a heated argument with another woman in a small group while in one of the hotel rooms.

The suspect proceeded to use bear mace on the group and there was a scuf� e throughout the build-

ing. The suspect produced a steak knife from which one individual received minor cuts on their hands and arms.

Sergeant Jason Keays, Vanderhoof RCMP, said the suspect speci� cally targeted these individuals and they had history between them. Drugs may also have been involved. Vanderhoof residents are “exception-ally safe” Keays said. People should have no fear of individuals with bear spray if they are not involved in drugs.

Because bear mace spreads quickly and is dam-aging to mucous membranes like the nose and eyes,

Glen’s Motor Hotel had to be evacuated and venti-lated. The process of ventilation took at least a couple hours according to Joe Pacheco, Vanderhoof � re chief.

The suspect is known to police and is in custody, RCMP are asking for her to stay in custody but that remains up to the judicial system.

None of the victims received life-threatening inju-ries but RCMP had to call in the � re department to assist in venting the building from the bear spray.

“I’d like to acknowledge the excellent cooperation with the � re department and the BC Ambulance ser-vice,” said RCMP Sgt. Jason Keays.

Assault at Vanderhoof hotel

The BC Coroners Ser-vice is working to con� rm the identity of a body that was recovered from Francois Lake on June 30, 2013.

The body has now been con� rmed as NOT that of Sid Neville, age 35, a boater who went missing following a mishap on the lake on June 7.

When the of� cial search for Mr. Neville proved unsuccessful, a US � rm which uses sophisticated side-scan sonar was hired by Mr. Neville’s family to try to locate him. On the af-ternoon of June 28, a body was located on the bottom of the lake at a depth of about 175 metres.

When recovery was undertaken on June 30, however, it provided not to be that of Mr. Neville, but rather of someone who had been in the lake for much longer, probably for years.

The BC Coroners Ser-vice is now working with the RCMP to compare the body with persons known to have gone missing in or near the lake in the past. A combination of circum-stances, clothing, jewelry, dental work and/or DNA may be used to provide a positive identi� cation.

The BC Coroners Ser-vice will make public the identity of this person once identi� cation is con� rmed and all next of kin have been noti� ed.


The “Take a Shot at Cancer” event was held at the NVSA Grounds on June 21 and 22 in support of St. John Hos-pital Oncology. Thirty-seven shooters in total

Re: Poker Ride event marking two years since Madison Scott went missing on May 28, 2011

On May 25th the second All in for Maddy Poker Ride was held at Hogsback Lake campsite from where Maddy mysteriously went missing over two years ago. The event was held in an effort to keep awareness of Maddy’s case high.

Our thanks and gratitude go out to the Poker Ride participants, including over 300 ATV’s, 100 horses and riders and 80 walkers! While we are saddened to acknowledge we are at the two-year mark without Maddy, or knowing where she is, we could not have gotten this far without the ongoing and overwhelming support received from the communities and the people in them.

We could not have organized such an event on our own and give tremendous thanks to Team Maddy, comprised of family and friends who collectively planned and organized the event in the hope that Maddy will soon be found. We are also grateful to the Mapes Hall Association for its generosity, the Mapes community for helping to host the Poker Ride and the

landowners who graciously allowed access to their properties. Furthermore the businesses and individuals who so kindly donated toward the event with prizes, resources and support we wish also to give much thanks to. Thank you many times over to all of the participants, businesses and volunteers who contributed so much to the event’s success.

Certainly our appreciation also goes out to the RCMP for their tireless and intensive work on Maddy’s case. After a very dif� cult and heartbreaking 24 months, our overall request and priority remains that whoever knows the truth, let it be known so that we can have our daughter home. We remain con� dent that because we live in an area of kind, generous and compassionate people, Maddy will come home.

Once again, a truly heartfelt thank you to all who have helped in so many ways and who have enabled us to continue our search for Maddy.

HOPE FAITH LOVEBELIEVE

Sincerely and most gratefully,Dawn & Eldon Scott

� anks to the communityEditor:

It was great to see so many community members

at the recent Blackwater Project open houses in Van-derhoof, Fraser Lake, Burns Lake, Quesnel, Fort St. James and Prince George.

At the open houses, many people expressed inter-est in job and contract opportunities and asked ques-tions about environmental management and local training initiatives.

For more information on the open houses go to www.newgold.com/blackwater. You’ll also see that we’ve added several updates to the website, includ-ing the open house panels and a new video that pro-

vides a look at the proposed mine site and mining process.

Please send us an email at of� [email protected] or give us a call at (250)-567-3276 if you have questions or concerns related to any aspect of the project.

Our goal is to design and build a project that leaves a lasting, positive bene� t to the region. We look forward to keeping you well-informed and wish you a fun, safe summer.

Half a century ago, Vanderhoof newspapers were written quite dif-ferently. Stories in the Nechako Chronicle are all jumbled together until the pages are a solid wall of ink. It has such seemingly out of place stories like this one about ants.

“All ants live in communities or colonies and these assemblages are composed of several kinds of individuals. There are winged ales and females as well as wingless workers in all typical colonies…”

And on like that for several paragraphs. Why was there a story about ants in 1963? Were people just then discovering that ants lived in large colonies? The newspaper appears to have held all sorts of scienti� c information for the curious residents of Vanderhoof.

***

Another story was just about how plants and the useful materials they make.

“Through the efforts of modern science, vegetation has many uses unknown a few years ago. Chlorophyll, the green coloring matter of plants, for instance, is used extensively by manufacturers to color food, soaps, candles and other factory products…”

***

By reading real estate listings one can get a grasp on how much more expensive it is living in 2013 compared to 50 years ago.

Two sites were sold by the school district in 1963, one to A. R. Snell who bought the Braeside buildings for $125 and one was sold to Alan E. Wright who bought all the buildings at Meadowdale for $25.

The latest average price for a residential property in Vanderhoof is $167, 416 as of 2010.

***

Big news in the summer of 1963 was the announcement of a rail-way line from Summit Lake to Fort St. James. Comments were gath-ered from community business leaders like Arnold Snedley, George Ogston and Ron Merritt.

Everybody seems excited that their neighbours are prospering, “You’ve got to have transportation for progress, if your neighboring town is bene� tted, so are you,” said Smedley, village chairman and garage owner.

The future was looking very bright to these businessmen especial-ly to Merritt, president of the chamber of commerce and manager of the Canadian Bank of Commerce in 1963 Vanderhoof.

“A railway to Fort St. James, the pulp mill in Prince George, and the Peace power development, are bound to have a startling growth effect on Central B.C. areas.”

Several bands attended the ceremonies including the Good News Band (above). Vendors like Mike Craig (right) were set up selling local artwork as well as snacks and gifts. There was lots of fun for the kids to enjoy including the blue barrel train and the annual museum scavenger hunt.

The sturgeon recovery centre on Burrard Avenue is still not expected to be operational until Spring 2014 but plans are already underway to build and add to the recovery centre’s programs.

Freshwater Fisheries BC has suggested that a trout pond should be placed on the grounds of the recovery centre.

“We would be able to educate kids, adults, tour-ists to the recreational sport of � shing,” said Wayne Salewski, member of the Nechako White Sturgeon Community Working Group. “They’d be given in-structions on how to � sh, how to prepare the � sh, how to handle it and how to bring it home in a pris-tine manner so it becomes part of your food.”

The Nechako white sturgeon will be extremely dif� cult to bring back from extinction with cur-

rent experts looking at the rehabilitation process in terms of many years. The recovery initiative is driven by two teams, the community and the tech-nical working groups. The technical working group includes biologists and scientists who are working to learn the needs of the sturgeon.

The community working group is the fundrais-ing and promoting aspect. They work with the com-munity, including Aboriginals, to balance the needs of the sturgeon and the people.

“The real main focus of the recovery centre is phase one, the centre itself, and the ability for us to raise fry and put them into the system,” said Wayne Salewski. “The secondary objective that we’re working towards is a stewardship centre, something where we can highlight what we’re doing from an educational opportunity like schools, colleges and the university.”

These additions along with the recovery centre

Plans for sturgeon recovery centreitself will help bring tourism into Vander-hoof.

Celebrate Canada Day

July 1st

Visit us at our website:www.endakomines.com


As part of the July 1 Canada Day celebrations, the Cratford family donated a BMX bicycle for a raf� e prize in Fraser Lake.

The lucky winner of the bike was Ray Steiner at the Fra-ser Lake Complex and skateboard park, although it is likely his son Mathias Steiner will get more use out of it.

The skateboard park is set for their grand opening July 10, the community is invited down for barbecue and a skate-

BMX winner at Fraser Lake skateboard park

board show to be put on by profession-als. There will be tents set up and lots of prizes to be won, all for free!

Mike Walsh, head of the Fraser Lake Skateboard Club, would like to thank everyone who made the park possible, he’s glad that after 10 years of hoping the community � nally has a park.

“The kids are using the skateboard park already,” he said. “It’s going to be lit up and eventually in the future they’re going to have a graf� ti board.”

The skateboard park is designed by skateboarders and meant to be a non-graf� ti park unlike most parks which can have graf� ti covering every avail-able surface. Instead, the park will have a 30 by 25 foot graf� ti board for the kids to come and spray on whatever art they like.

Walsh would like to thank Mayor Dwayne Lindstrom, and councillors Kerry Jantz, Linda Mowat, Don Rey-den, Dan Duncan and MLA John Rus-tad for their support in getting this park done.
