Unist’ot’en camp members evict TransCanada helicopter

FLAVIO NIENOW

Unist’ot’en camp members told a Trans-Canada work crew brought in by helicopter on Sept. 5, 2015, that they had to leave the territory immediately.

The Unist’ot’en clan of the Wet’suwet’en has set up a protective camp south of Hous-

ton and has been physically impeding pipeline proponents such as TransCanada and Chevron from entering their territory.

The interaction between camp spokesper-son Freda Huson and a TransCanada repre-sentative on Sept. 5 was recorded on camera and posted on You Tube.

In the video, Huson hands out an eviction letter to the TransCanada representative while she explains that pipeline work crews are not permitted to enter Unist’ot’en territory. Huson said letters have already been sent to Trans-Canada months ago explaining the company does not have permission to enter their terri-tory.

“We’ve already told them [TransCanada] no, that they can’t access our territory, and they continue to come,” Huson tells the Trans-Canada representative. “It goes to show what kind of company you work for.”

Huson then calmly explains where the bor-ders of the Unist’ot’en territory are located.

“Right now you guys are trespassing, so I am going to ask you to leave,” she says.

The TransCanada representative said he was trying to conduct “non-invasive testing” for the Coastal GasLink Pipeline project.

Janine Dougall, Director of Envi-ronmental Services for the Regional District of Buckley-Nechako, dis-cussed with the Burns Lake council the recently announced plan to ban card-board from all waste regional transfer stations.

Dougall reiterated the reasoning be-hind the decision - to promote waste reduction, and to create demand for local recycling and waste manage-ment businesses. As of now the offi-cial launch date for the ban has been changed to July 1, 2016, adjusted from Jan. 1, 2016, which was altered due to unforeseen challenges.

Dougall wanted to reassure the lo-cal institutional/commercial/industrial (ICI) sector that there are already mul-tiple providers of cardboard recycling both regionally and locally, and the next step for the regional district is to create a list of these services in order to make local businesses aware of their options. Dougall also explained that there are ICI bins currently at the lo-cal Recycling Depot that businesses can use at a cost, however it is yet to be determined if a longer-term agreement can be reached in order to keep the bins at the depot.

Coastal First Nations accuse province of not respecting their ban

Flavio NieNow

Trophy bear hunting has been banned by First Nations on B.C.’s north and central coast in their traditional territories since 2012.

Despite the Coastal First Na-tions’ best efforts to ban trophy hunting, grizzly bears continue to be killed in their territories.

“Killing bears for trophy not only threatens a more sustain-able local economy, it is an af-front on our culture,” said Jason Moody, the Fisheries Manager of the Nuxalk Nation. “We hunt animals for food, not for sport”.

Lake Babine Nation Chief Wilf Adam said he supports the Coastal First Nations’ ban, adding that Lake Babine Nation strongly opposes trophy hunting.

“Bears are sacred to us and we only use them for sustenance bases,” said Chief Adam.

In a recent press release, Coastal First Nations accused the pro-vincial government of refusing to recognize their ban.

Greig Bethel, Public Affairs Officer for the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations, said the province con-siders the licences of guides, resident hunters and non-resident hunters [to hunt on First Nations territory] to be valid. In addi-tion, Bethel said the province continues to discuss grizzly bear management with the Coastal First Nations.

“The province manages grizzly bear populations in a man-ner respectful of First Nation food, social, and ceremonial uses, through the limited entry hunt for licensed hunters, through quota for guide outfitters, for wildlife viewing, and for recovery where populations are considered threatened,” said Bethel.

Within the traditional territories of the Coastal First Nations, approximately 58 per cent is closed to grizzly hunting. Accord-ing to Bethel, the grizzly bear harvest management is based on the “best available science.”

“The principles behind our decisions are: the best available population estimates; estimates of sustainable human-caused mortality rates; and conservative mortality limits.”

Grizzly bears are the species that generate the most revenue for the province. Grizzly bear licences generate $347,000 annually - $104,000 by resident hunters and $243,000 by non-resident.

Coastal First Nations chiefs have been encouraging resident hunters to voluntarily comply with the ban by surrendering their grizzly tag to Coastal First Nations.

“We are moving in the right direction,” said Kitasoo/Xai’xais First Nation Chief Doug Neasloss. “Our allies are purchasing commercial hunting licenses from guides in our territories and resident hunters have begun to surrender their grizzly tags to us in compliance with our ban.”

Coastal First Nations said they will now redouble their moni-toring and enforcement efforts.

“We are coordinating efforts to patrol our territories to monitor and enforce the closure of this senseless trophy hunt,” said Wil-liam Housty from the Heiltsuk Nation.

The Coastal First Nations are an alliance of First Nations that includes the Wuikinuxv Nation, Heiltsuk, Kitasoo/Xai’xais, Nuxalk, Gitga’at, Haisla, Metlakatla, Old Massett, Skidegate and Council of the Haida Nation.

“Bears can offer great opportunity for communities as a sus-tainable, non-extractive industry,” said Moody. “We are happy to share the experience of spending time close to bears with people from around the world, as long as they come with cameras, not guns.”

In the story ‘Regional district considers closing the re-use sheds’ published in the Lakes District News’ Dec. 3, 2014, edition, the board of direc-tors of the Regional District of Bulkley-Nechako (RDBN) had postponed the decision to close the re-use sheds until such time that affected communities were consulted.

The RDBN’s department of environmental ser-vices had agreed to hold community consultations before any decision was made regarding the re-use sheds. However, a decision to close the re-use sheds located at all regional district solid waste manage-ment facilities was announced Sept. 8, 2015, prior to any consultations.

Janine Dougall, Director of Environmental Ser-vices for the RDBN, said community meetings were planned to be held in the fall. However, due to the “serious nature of the latest incidents and the liabil-ity to the RDBN taxpayer,” the board of directors chose to close the re-use sheds in advance of the meetings.

According to the RDBN, the re-use sheds were closed due to a number of troubling incidents directly affecting staff and public health and safety. The latest incidents include over 100 used hypodermic needles found in boxes mixed in with chil-dren’s toys; live ammunition found in a brown cassette tape brief case; prescription drugs left in a box; and a dirty diaper found thrown in the corner of a re-use shed. In addition, reports have been made regarding members of the public urinating and defecat-ing behind a re-use shed.

Further, the board of directors has directed staff to develop by-laws that would ban salvaging activities at solid waste facilities. The RDBN says that although signage and barriers have been uti-lized to try to stop people from accessing the stacked wood and metal piles, some members of the public continue to climb the piles to salvage materials.

“Unfortunately, the manner in which the re-use sheds are cur-rently being operated is not working and is posing serious health and safety risks for RDBN staff, volunteers who are trying keep the facilities clean, and the public who utilize the re-use sheds,” said a press release.

Burns Lake Mayor Luke Strimbold, who voted against the clo-

sure of the re-use sheds, said he hopes the regional district’s board of directors can find a solution to reopen the re-use sheds in the near future.

“The board of directors needs to hear why the re-use sheds are important for our communities,” he said. “The board also needs to work with communities to find solutions that mitigate the risk for individuals that make use of the re-use sheds and for the employ-ees working at the transfer stations.”

When asked if the re-use sheds closure was temporary or perma-nent, Dougall said this decision is at the discretion of the RDBN’s board of directors. Investigations are being conducted regarding alternative re-use programs and economically viable solutions to address the health and safety concerns associated with operation of the re-use sheds. Dougall said the RDBN is looking into how best to promote re-use activities on a broader scale than just the re-use sheds.

“It is hoped that the public engagement process regarding the issues occurring will generate ideas and suggestions from the public that the RDBN can then consider and investigate more fully,” said Dougall.

The RDBN will hold a community meeting in Burns Lake on Oct. 21, 2015. Meanwhile, the re-use sheds will remain closed.

Hopefully the re-use sheds reopen

According to the Regional District of Bulkley-Nechako, the re-use sheds were closed after a number of troubling incidents directly affecting staff and public health and safety.

“I am tired of managing poverty.”

The words of Lake Babine Nation Chief Wilf Adam were quoted by both Aboriginal Relations Minister John Rustad and Premier Christy Clark at their second annual meet-ing with aboriginal lead-ers around the province. In her closing remarks, Clark repeated her aim to continue economic devel-

opment and resource revenue sharing that have domi-nated the government’s approach in recent years.

“Let’s eliminate poverty in First Nations commu-nities,” she said, adding “the only way we can fight poverty is to grow the economy.”

Not surprisingly, Clark’s chosen example was the potential of liquefied natural gas development for the Haisla Nation near Kitimat.

That and similar proposals require new gas pipe-lines. And as is customary in B.C., what people most often hear about are threats and wild claims regarding protests such as the Unist’ot’en camp near Smithers, set up to block a gas pipeline.

There was a round of this in late August, after Grand Chief Stewart Phillip of the militant Union of B.C. Indian Chiefs claimed hundreds of RCMP officers were about to descend on the camp. This echoed previous false claims made by self-styled anarchists such as Victoria’s Zoe Blunt, who has been organizing outside support for the camp for the last couple of years. Media jumped at the prospect of another Gustafson Lake-style confrontation. This prompted an unusual statement from Cpl. Janelle Shoihet of the North District RCMP.

“To clarify, the B.C. RCMP has no intention of ‘taking down the camp’ set up by the Unist’ot’en,” she said, emphasizing that police are not taking sides or acting as security for pipeline exploration crews being harassed by protesters, who have token support from a couple of dissident members of a Wet’suwet’en clan.

Four elected chiefs of the Wet’suwet’en issued their own statement, to correct media coverage that represents the Unist’ot’en as speaking for their communities.

“Our Nations support responsible resource development as a way to bring First Nations out of poverty and bring opportunities for our young people,” said Burns Lake Band Chief Dan George.

Wet’suwet’en First Nation Chief Karen Ogen said job and benefit agreements for the Coastal GasLink pipeline were entered into after careful consideration, and she objected to protests from outsiders, some from outside the country.

“Sustainability means standing on our own two feet, providing our young people with good paying jobs, and reducing the 40 to 60 per cent unemployment we now experience,” Ogen said.

Haisla Nation Chief Councillor Ellis Ross has no time for crude oil projects, but he has been working towards gas-related development as long as anyone. Ross spoke out in support of the elected Wet’suwet’en chiefs in their efforts to resolve the dispute with Unist’ot’en members.

“Opposition is the easiest job in the world,” he said. “What is difficult is finding an answer when a First Nations mother has concerns about her child’s future.

“Politicians are quick to shout out sound bites and get into camera shots, but where are the cameras when another First Nations member takes their own life or when they pass away from highway/alcohol related deaths?”

Ross noted that recent court decisions have put B.C. aboriginal leaders in the best position they have ever had, with governments and development project proponents coming to them “with inclusion in mind” after decades of resource development that has passed them by.

You wouldn’t know it most days, but First Nations along both the Coastal GasLink and Pacific Trails gas pipelines have agreed to them.

More aboriginal leaders are getting tired of managing poverty, and misguided protesters.

Protest stunts distract from real efforts

tom flEtchEr

Flying is considered one of the safest forms of transportation, but ev-erybody who steps on a plane is uneasy on some level.

That’s what says Pat-rick Smith, an active airline pilot, air travel blogger and author of the book ‘Cockpit confiden-tial: everything you need to know about air travel.’

Turbulence in particu-lar is one of the main concerns of anxious passen-gers. But is it actually dangerous?

Last week I decided to visit my brother who lives in a city six hours away from mine (by car). Since there was a major airline ticket sale, I decided to fly instead and get there faster. About three hours before my flight, just as I was packing up, the sky turned dark. I could hear the wind blowing on my window and it was clear that a powerful storm was brewing.

I checked to see if my flight had gotten cancelled, but it hadn’t. Although the flight was delayed by about half an hour, I was still able to fly that day.

Shortly after taking off, a flight attendant announced that people should remain on their seats with their seatbelts fastened (never a good sign). Then she said food and beverages would not be served during flight due to “unstable weather conditions” (definitely not a good sign).

Just when I thought that the flight attendant might have been overreacting, the plane found a rough patch and it became clear why no food was being served.

The plane was violently shaking from side to side, losing altitude drastically (or at least it felt like it), and it lasted several minutes (or maybe it was just a few seconds; it’s hard to tell when you’re sweating, desperately holding tight to your seat and praying).

It was the kind of turbulence that makes people stare at each other wondering if the plane will crash. When it passed, we all smiled at each other in relief and some people attempted to lighten up the mood by making a few jokes (Okay, maybe it was just me).

In his website askthepilot.com, Smith says that although it’s easy to picture the airplane as a helpless dinghy in a stormy sea, a plane cannot be flipped upside-down, thrown into a tailspin or flung from the sky by even the mightiest gust or air pocket. Although turbulence may be scary, Smith assures anxious flyers that pilots do not consider turbulence a dangerous occurrence.

“Turbulence is an aggravating nuisance for everybody, including the crew, but it’s also, for lack of a better term, normal,” he says. “From a pilot’s perspective, it is ordinarily seen as a convenience issue, not a safety issue; when a flight changes altitude in search of smoother conditions, this is by and large in the interest of comfort; the pilots aren’t worried about the wings falling off, they’re trying to keep their customers relaxed and everybody’s coffee where it belongs.”

I don’t know about you, but I loved reading that (In fact, I might take his book with me next time I’m on a plane).

Smith also says that, during turbulence, passengers tend to overestimate the roughness by orders of magnitude. Although it can feel like the plane is losing dramatic altitude at times, altitude, bank, and pitch will change only slightly during turbulence.

“In the cockpit we see just a twitch on the altimeter,” says Smith.Most of the time, planes will only move up or down about 10 or 20 feet during turbulence.The reality is that airplanes are engineered to withstand a remarkable amount of punish-

ment, so although turbulence can feel like the end of times, they are no reason for concern.

VILLAGE COUNCIL from t P1

of the Multi Material B.C. (MMBC) program which was launched provincially in order to ensure service for residentially produced recyclable materials. Dougall clarified that the MMBC program excludes the ICI sector which is why businesses are responsible for their own recycling management and cost.

The bottom line according to Dougall is that the taxpayer will have to pay for it regardless “through either recycling or landfill development.” Dougall believes that the longer the district can prolong the life of the landfills, the better it is for all taxpayers.

“If we see less garbage going into landfills we see cost savings directly,” she said.

Dougall added in response to a question from councilor Susan Schienbein that any cost savings would be passed on to the tax-payer or allocated to additional services.

Councilor Schienbein also brought up the issue of enforce-ment. Dougall replied that how the regional district will enforce and move forward with this process still needs to be worked out.

“Potentially there will be a fine or you’ll be turned around or something of that nature,” she said.

However, Dougall wants to conduct a positive education/awareness campaign that helps create an arrangement residents are happy to participate in.

“We don’t want to be nasty about it.”The council meeting continued with several other issues of in-

terest. A committee of the whole meeting was also scheduled for Sept. 16 at 7 p.m. to review questions from the council regarding the Eighth Avenue/Center Street resurfacing project. The meet-ing is public and there will be a public comment portion after the meeting. However, no public questions will be answered. Coun-cilors are allowed to ask questions on behalf of residents if they are submitted the day before the meeting.

The Coastal Gas Link Pipeline project has requested from council a letter of support. The council voted and agreed that one should be given on the condition that it be mentioned in the letter that Burns Lake council is a member of both the Northwest Ben-efit Alliance and the Legacy Fund, and that participation from industry in the funds is vital to the success of both.

Council also discussed the economic development plan steer-ing committee. It was noted by the Burns Lake Chamber of Commerce that the proposed committee consisted solely of vil-lage of Burns Lake staff and councilors. It was agreed that there should be more representation from community mem-bers, and that an appli-cation process for two additional members should be completed by the end of the month. The plan for the com-mittee is to conduct a number of public con-sultations with local businesses, non-profit organizations and com-munity agencies within six weeks once the new members are selected in order to develop a common vision for economic development in the Lakes District. Final draft is to be completed at the end of 2015.

Councilor updates include councilors Holliday and Illes par-ticipating in the Col-lege of New Caledonia (CNC) impact study, in regards to exploring the negative impacts on the community if the Lakes District CNC branch was closed.

Councilor Illes par-ticipated in the Re-

source Alliance in Terrace, focusing on infrastructure deficit and the needs of municipalities, and he attended an Lakes District Arts Council meeting and noted that their first show is on Oct. 4 and new season tickets are available.

Councilor Schienbein remarked on the revitalization of the community garden and the formation of a new Burns Lake Com-munity Garden Society who plan on visiting council at the end of September. Schienbein also had the opportunity to do an inter-view with CBC radio on the UBCM resolution, which was well received.

Councilor Beach attended the Burns Lake Community meet-ing with a group that helps Northern Health to locate and bring doctors to our region, the group seems confident that they will be able to locate doctor to come up to the new hospital.

EVERYONE WELCOME!

Burns Lake Gathering PlaceFriday: 4pm to MidnightSaturday: 12-5pm, 6pm- MidnightSunday: 12pm - Finish

editor:Enough time has passed since the coro-

ner’s report of July 31, 2015 after the coro-ner’s inquest into the deaths and injuries at the Babine Lake Forest Products and Lake-land Mill explosions and fires. People have decided whether this report was a good job or there are some people who believe this report is a whitewash and cover-up and that

they must at least try to point out deficien-cies and offer some positive remedial steps.

I am a member of this last group, and I will start with recommendation #7, a reason-able recommendation calling on the com-pany to ensure compliance with the national fire code and ensuring that all fires are re-corded and reported to the Joint Occupation-al Health and Safety Committee (JOHSC).

However, a reasonable person can then reasonably ask, why is there no similar recommendation to the com-pany to ensure compliance with the Workers Compensation Act of B.C.?

The answer is simple, there is no such recommendation because the company was not in compliance with the Workers Compensation Act of B.C. Specifically, Section 135 of the act that requires the company to pro-vide each member of the JOHSC at least eight hours of education leave for health and safety training per year without loss of pay.

The coroner knows about this edu-cational leave for training (Sec. 135) or is negligent is not knowing about it.

Given recommendation #8 calling on the company to “provide profes-sional training for all employees in workplace harassment is clearly a good idea and something to strive towards. However, if the company does not do it, they are not in viola-

tion of a Royal Statute as they are when they do not provide the professional training for the JOHSC. If the company claims they have paid for eight hours of training per year per member of the JOHSC then this is easy to verify and audit as called for by recommen-dation #13 directed to the Steelworkers and WorkSafe.

Further to recommendation #13, if there was no JOHSC educational leave and train-ing, it is then a reasonable question to ask, was there ever a grievance filed against the company for not providing this training as required by law? If there was no such train-ing and there was no grievance filed, then clearly there needs to be remedial training for stewards and business agents to inform them that the grievance procedure is not limited to disputes involving the collective agreement. The grievance procedure can be used when statutes and regulations are be-ing violated. This fits appropriately with the statement in the coroner’s report that there was “a communication breakdown at all lev-els of the Union” - a politically correct and wooly statement designed not to hurt any-one’s feelings, except of course those peo-ple who hoped for and expected some clear statements and complete information.

In my view, the coroner’s report is clear evidence that the coroner was negligent and/or willfully blind to material facts in this tragedy.

Recommendation #31, the recommenda-tion from the coroner that the Federal Min-

ister of Justice and the Attorney General of Canada should amend the criminal code of Canada I find truly bizarre. Our federal gov-ernment is hardly about to take seriously any advice from a province like B.C. A province that does not properly train its safety in-spectors, a province that does not properly investigate workplace fatalities, a province that does not monitor or enforce compliance with our own Workers Compensation Act (RSBC 1996) Chapter 492.

This province is attempting to create the impression that B.C. could have done more if the federal government had done its job properly. This is disingenuous, political spin doctoring that has no place in a legitimate investigative report.

The coroner’s service and by extension our provincial Ministry of Justice has failed to produce a complete and thorough report at the end of a coroner’s inquest into incidents that caused the deaths and injuries to B.C. workers.

In view the coroner’s demonstrated negli-gence and/or willful blindness it is my opin-ion that coroner Newell should be fired and a new report needs to be written that takes into account this new information.

I feel we can not tolerate a coroner’s re-port that allows farce to masquerade as a le-gitimate inquiry when men died and many more were injured in what was clearly a pre-ventable accident.

With communicable diseases such as whooping cough and measles making a comeback, Provincial Health Officer Dr. Perry Kendall is reminding parents to make sure their children’s vaccines are up to date as they return to school.

“By the time a child reaches five or six years old, he or she should have re-ceived booster shots that protect against measles, polio, chicken pox, whooping

cough and more, and kids in Grade 6 and 9 should receive follow-up vaccinations,” Kendall said. “This is all part of B.C.’s free, routine immunization program.”

Parents can now sign up for free text message reminders at immunizebc.ca/reminders, and the website also offers a smartphone app to manage immuniza-tion records. Kendall advocates that B.C. should join Ontario and New Brunswick in requiring parents to provide vaccination re-cords when children are enrolled in school.

Vaccinations themselves would not be mandatory, but the records would allow schools to exclude unprotected children during outbreaks of communi-cable disease, and give public health authorities an opportu-

nity to help parents fill gaps in their chil-dren’s protection.

Single parent job program startsSingle parents on income and disability

assistance are now eligible for new train-ing, child care and transportation funds to attend training for in-demand jobs.

Effective Sept. 1, the program also in-creases the monthly earning exemption for parents who receive assistance, from $200 to $400 for income assistance recipients and from $300 to $500. For eligible train-ing, payments for child care, public transit and exemptions for bursaries and scholar-ships are available for up to a year.

Applications for the program are han-dled by WorkBC Employment Services Centres. Locations of centres are available at www.workbc.ca.

lead to projects that we do not approve of,” Huson responded. “It’s going to destroy our lands; we have berry patches here. We have medicine here. The bears live here. The moose live here. We live here. This is my food back here. That’s what they’re trying to destroy, and they don’t have our authority to do that.”

Coastal GasLink Pipeline Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of TransCanada Pipelines Ltd., proposes to develop a natural gas pipeline from near Dawson Creek, B.C., to the proposed LNG Canada liquefied natural gas export facility near Kitimat, B.C.

Shela Shapiro, Spokesperson for Coastal GasLink, said the company has been trying to conduct field work on Unist’ot’en territory for the pipeline project and that there are only certain times of the year that this type of work can be conducted.

“We need to complete this [field work] so we can satisfy condi-tions in our environmental assessment certificate,” she explained.

“Our focus continues to be to engage and work with First Na-tions groups in identifying the best possible preferred route for this important infrastructure project,” said Shapiro. “As we have done from the beginning of this project, we welcome dialogue with First Nations and others along the pipeline route so we can make the best decisions possible.”

Under the pipeline benefits agreement between the province and Wet’suwet’en First Nation (WFN) regarding the Coastal GasLink Pipeline project, the province could ask WFN to help stop Unist’ot’en camp protestors. By signing the pipeline ben-efits agreement, WFN agreed to assist the province in seeking to resolve any action that may be taken by any member that is inconsistent with the agreement. Otherwise, WFN could be in breach of their contract and potentially lose their funding.

When asked if Coastal GasLink plans to ask WFN to inter-

vene at the Unist’ot’en camp, Coastal GasLink did not provide a straight answer.

“We’re supportive of Wet’suwet’en First Nations, and we con-tinue to have dialogue with them,” said Shapiro. “We appreciate all of their work in support of the project and in helping us have a better understanding of their culture and traditions.”

President of Coastal GasLink Rick Gateman recently told Lakes District News that involving the RCMP in the Unist’ot’en camp may be inevitable.“We’ll have to notify the RCMP of what we are doing and they will have to do their own response if we’re blockaded,” said Gateman. “We need to get in there [Unist’ot’en territory] and do this late season work.”

The situation escalated last month when the Unist’ot’en camp issued a press release claiming that camp members were prepar-ing for a “large-scale RCMP mass arrest operation.” Huson told The Interior News that a police source had leaked information about the possible operation. In a press release, the B.C. RCMP denied those claims, saying the RCMP had no intention of tak-ing down the camp set up by the Unist’ot’en. Corporal Janelle Shoi-het, Media Relations Officer for the RCMP, said that despite what was being portrayed by some media and on social media, the B.C. RCMP re-mains impartial in this dispute.

“The B.C. RCMP respects the rights of individuals to peacefully protest,” said Shoihet. “We value the Wet’suwet’en culture, the connection to the land and traditions being taught and passed on at the camp, and the importance of the camp to healing.”

Coastal GasLink may ask for help from RCMP

Get a head start to your child’s education savings

Your child could be eligible to a $1200 grant- visit the Bulkley Valley Credit Union for more informationFLAVIO NIENOW

Families with eligible children will be able to apply for a $1200 education grant from the provincial government to help their children get a head start in pursuing their dreams.

Parents and families can go into almost any credit union in British Columbia to kick-start their educa-tion savings through the $1200 B.C. training and education savings grant. The one-time grant of $1200 per eligible child will be deposited into a registered education savings plan (RESP) upon approval of the application.

The Lakes District Branch of the Bulkley Valley Credit Union is a participating branch.Sandy Doré, Branch Manager, said she has been personally letting eligible members know that they can

apply for this grant.“This is a great plan and people should take advantage of it,” she said.Doré explained that in order to open a RESP account, credit unions require the child's social insur-

ance number (SIN). The Lakes District Branch also offers application forms so that parents can apply for their child's SIN. To be eligible for the $1200 grant, children must have been born in 2007 or later. Families have three years, or until the day before the child's ninth birthday, to submit an application for the grant.

There is no barrier to low-income families since no matching or additional contributions are required to access the $1200. The province is also working to ensure that low-income families and children in care are able to tap into the grant.

Don Wright, President and CEO of Central 1 Credit Union, said saving for a child's education is one of the most important investments a parent will make.

“This grant provides a great head start, and we're pleased that credit unions across B.C. are the first fi-nancial institutions in the province able to make the application widely available to families," he said.

The province is working with other financial insti-tutions so over the coming months they will be able to offer the grant.

In the story ‘Trial date for triple murder case to be set soon’ published in the Lakes District News' Aug. 19, 2015, edition, the trial date for the case of Rueben Buhler - the man ar-rested in relation to a triple homicide in Burns Lake – was expected to be determined on Sept. 9, 2015.

However, during the fixed date that took place on Sept. 9 at the Burns Lake Provincial Court, a trial date was not determined. Instead another fixed date was set for Oct. 14, 2015.

Jordan Allingham, Buhler’s lawyer, explained that the defence still has a large volume of disclosure to read be-fore a trial can take place, and the Crown has yet to provide all of the disclosure.

“Once that is reviewed, I will be in a position to determine how much time will be needed for a preliminary in-quiry and trial of this matter,” he said.

Allingham expects that on Oct. 14 a date will be set for a preliminary inquiry, which will likely take place around March 2016.

Tempers flared as family members of some of the victims verbally at-tacked Buhler’s family outside of the Burns Lake Provincial Court while Buhler’s fixed date was taking place

on Sept. 9, 2015. The victim assis-tance worker calmed the situation down and eventually everyone left the parking lot.

Buhler has been charged with three counts of second degree murder and remains in custody. Buhler has not had a bail hearing at this stage.

“We will determine whether we will seek his release at an appropriate time,” said Allingham.

On April 27, 2015, at 8:25 a.m., the Burns Lake RCMP attended a residence in the 200 block of Fifth Avenue in Burns Lake after receiving a report of potential foul play. Neigh-bours said they heard gun shots ring out around 6 a.m. When officers en-tered the residence, they found three people - one woman and two men - dead inside.

“I cannot share anything further at this stage other than the fact Mr. Buhler is presumed to be innocent, has a right to a fair trial, and not to be prejudged before then,” said Alling-ham. “The public hopefully under-stands that these matters do take some time to run their course to ensure people are either properly acquitted or properly convicted.”

The identities of all three victims are still not being released.

Although there is still no word on whether the grant from the federal government’s strategic pri-orities fund to complete the Eighth Avenue/Center Street project has been accepted, the council was able to hear from a potential alternative funding source through a project known as the legacy ini-tiative.

The Eighth Avenue/Center Street project is coor-dinated by the Regional District of Bulkley-Necha-ko. Gail Chapman, Chief Administrative Officer (CAO) and Bill Miller, Director of Electoral Area B, presented a recently completed report on the ini-tiative to the Burns Lake council.

The report outlines high priority needs in the dis-trict, which would be submitted to industrial proj-ects in the district as a proposal for an agreement to provide investment in communities.

The district hopes to create a single “legacy fund” which industry would contribute to under the idea that these projects have a social and financial responsibility to the region due to the short and long-term strain and impacts on our regional in-frastructure and services. A draft of the report has been endorsed by the regional district’s board of di-rectors and has circulated among regional mayors and councils for review and input.

Chapman emphasized the need for funding, de-tailing how the report revealed that there is $325 million worth of infrastructure replacement or up-grades in the district.

“We’ve been trying to secure grant funding for a number of years now, but we’re in a situation where we have an ageing system that at some point is go-ing to fail,” said Chapman.

Miller added that the tax revenues from these large projects that go to municipalities are fairly limited, since most of the revenue generated goes to the province.

“Taxes alone will not support any significant de-velopment,” he said.

Mayor Luke Strimbold also revealed that a high percentage of projects in the municipality rely on grants, and that grants are not always forthcoming.

“If we continue to rely [only] on grants these [projects] won’t get done,” he said.

Chapman noted development in the Peace River and northwest regions of B.C. and how they ben-efit from similar funding agreements. She feels it is imperative that our region moves to make the same agreements.

“We are the conduit with the longest route of de-velopment and we have not capitalized on this op-portunity,” said Chapman.

Chapman added there is precedence in terms of how other districts have handled agreements with industrial projects which informs how the district chooses to move forward.

“There are situa-tions that have been put into play [in other re-gions] where we know we shouldn’t go there because they haven’t worked,” she said.

In terms of how the project will proceed, Miller explained that the first hurdle is to secure capital, and the second hurdle is to en-sure that access to capi-tal is fair and balanced so that all communities in the district have ac-cess.

Miller specified that the regional district ex-ecutive committee job now is to oversee the development of a co-ordinated plan and cre-ate a strategic direction that all communities in the region will be hap-py with.

Commercial fishing opens on Babine LakeFishing season might be extended even further, says Chief Wilf Adam Flavio NieNow

In the story ' Sockeye salmon count improves' published in the Lakes District News' Aug. 26 edition, after a late sockeye salmon return, Lake Babine Nation was considering opening commer-cial harvest on Babine Lake.

Lake Babine Nation Chief Wilf Adam said com-mercial harvest is now permitted with a 20,000 salmon license quota. Chief Adam said that de-pending on how the harvest goes and the salmon count, the fishing season might be extended even further this year. The sockeye salmon return was particularly late this year. However, even with the improved salmon count estimated at 1.16 million, this year’s sockeye return is still drastically lower than the pre-season estimate of over three million. The Skeena Fisheries Commission (SFC) has re-cently sent a letter to Fisheries and Oceans Canada condemning their decision to open commercial fishing in some areas of the Skeena watershed.

“This late opening decision completely under-mines and makes a mockery of our months of con-sultations,” said the SFC in a letter sent to Fisheries and Oceans Canada. “Fisheries and Oceans Canada has, by this action, disregarded any credibility in such consultations.”

The SFC has requested that Fisheries and Oceans Canada cancel the opening of commercial fishery on the Skeena stocks.

Michelle Imbeau, Communications Advisor for Fisheries and Oceans Canada, explained that the unusual run timing of Skeena sockeye led to a “change in the planned harvest method.”

“This [change in the planned harvest method] was to ensure that commercial fishing would be carefully controlled and monitored to ensure careful management of the returning stocks,” said Imbeau.

Chief Adam said he does not oppose commercial fishing on Babine Lake.

“The fish that we’re after are surplus fish that will die in the lake anyway,” said Chief Adam, re-ferring to the enhanced sockeye that go to Babine Lake’s man-made spawning channels.

Chief Adam said Lake Babine Nation will con-tinue to closely monitor the harvest on Babine Lake.

Fort Nelson First Nation wins legal challenge against Nexen oil

Nexen was ordered to cease pumping water for fracking from Tsea Lake

Flavio NieNow

Fort Nelson First Nation (FNFN) has won a potentially precedent-setting legal battle ordering Nexen Inc., an upstream oil and gas company, to cease pumping water from FNFN territory.

The Environmental Appeal Board (EAB) cancelled the water licence given to Nexen in 2012 for shale gas fracking in the Horn River Basin. The license allowed Nexen to pump millions of cubic meters of water from Tsea Lake, a small lake about 90 km north-east of Fort Nelson.

"Granting this license was a major mistake by the province," said FNFN Chief Liz Logan. "Our mem-bers have always used the Tsea Lake area in our territory to hunt, trap, and live on the land.”

According to Chief Logan, the company pumped water out of Tsea Lake even during drought condi-tions.

“There were major impacts on the lake, fish, beavers and surrounding environment,” she said. “Water is a huge concern for us; by approving this license, the province demonstrated it is not protecting the public interest in water."

According to the EAB, the science behind the license was fundamentally flawed in both concept and operation. In addition, the EAB found that the province failed to consult FNFN in good faith and breached its duty to consider the potential impacts on FNFN.

Chief Logan said this decision sends a clear message to the B.C. government and to the fracking indus-try that liquefied natural gas development will not happen at the expense of lakes, rivers and treaty rights.

“The province just can’t arbitrarily be issuing permits without good science, good data and expert opin-ion, and without meaningfully consulting with us,” she said.

Although FNFN challenged Nexen’s water license in court, Chief Logan said FNFN has been dealing with the oil and gas industry for decades and is not against economic development in the area.

"We want to work with the province and industry on sustainable development in our territory, but we are being ignored," she said. "We have [worked with the province] in the past, and are willing to do so moving forward, as long as our treaty rights are respected and the public interest in environmentally sustainable development is upheld."

Nexen told Lakes District News that the company respects the right of any stakeholder potentially af-fected by their operations to take steps to ensure their concerns are heard and addressed.

Diane Kossman, Manager of Corporate Communications for Nexen, said the company has implement-ed an extensive water monitoring and management program to ensure protection of water resources.

“Responsible water management is a priority across all of our operations,” she said. “In Northeast B.C., we’ve emphasized the development and implementation of new processes and technologies to reduce our water use and our impact, and protect water sources.”

Since Nexen had sig-nificantly slowed the pace of exploration and development in the re-gion due to depressed commodity prices, Kossman said EAB’s decision does not have any immediate impacts to Nexen’s operations.

“We are in the pro-cess of reviewing EAB’s decision and have not made any decisions on next steps,” she said. “Nexen will be examin-ing our options with re-spect to securing water rights in the area.”

Calgary-based Nexen, owned by Chinese state-controlled CNOOC Ltd., was recently ordered to suspend operations on 95 pipelines by the Alberta Energy Regulator. The decision came after one of the largest leaks in Al-berta history where about five million litres of emul-sion were spilled from a Nexen pipeline at its Long Lake oil-sands proj-ect south of Fort McMur-ray. Earlier this month, Nexen was allowed to resume operations on 40 of its 95 pipelines which were previously ordered to be shut down.

CheckboxesI’m often asked how Malware, particularly the type that attaches itself to your web browser and spams you with advertisements, gets onto a computer. The simple answer is usually “checkboxes”. There’s a lot of software available for free on the Internet. Only it’s not actually free, you’re just paying for it in a different way. A lot of free programs are “sponsored” by advertising companies, using the popularity of the free program to expand their target audience while giving the developer a small source of income. When installing these free programs, you’ll usually find a checkbox somewhere at the bottom of the installer window offering some additional software you don’t actually want. The text next to the check box will often be smaller than the text found elsewhere in the installer, encouraging you not to read it in classic fine print manner. If you see a check box anywhere during a software installation, stop and carefully read the description next to it. If it’s optional software, it’s best to uncheck it unless you’re absolutely sure you want it. If you can’t uncheck it, you need to decide if the free program is worth the trouble of hunting down and removing the extra junk.

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing ofWALTER ROBERT READ

Walter was born in Moosejaw, Sask on September 12, 1937 and passed away peacefully in his sleep on July 11, 2015. He moved to B.C. with his family at the age of four. He got most of his schooling on Vancouver Island where he also learned to play the piano accordion and carried on to play in the school orchestra.Walter was a true family man as well as a logger, truck driver, farmer, cowboy and cattleman. He created a very sought aft er herd of Red Angus cattle on the family farm on Savory Road west of Fraser Lake. When we moved to Savory Road there wasn’t enough land cleared to swing a cat so we worked hard for over thirty years to get it into production complete with a gravity fed irriga-tion system which was envied by many farmer near & far.Walter’s entertainment was to go to the Vanderhoof Cattle Auctions where he could visit with other cattlemen and share a cup of coff ee and an apple fritter with his friends.He always wanted to build a big hay shed so he wouldn’t have to use hay tarps anymore. Well, he fi nally got his shed this summer but unfortunately never got to use it.We bought a fi ft h wheel travel trailer planning to take a few trips...very few were taken, we were always too busy! Last year we got two miniature donkey’s so we could retire on our asses. We never got round to that either! But I know in my heart that Walter just wouldn’t have been able to retire as most people think to do at that stage in their lives. He was a doer, a worker and that is what he loved to do...was work.Walter is survived by his loving wife Audrey of 59 years, daughter’s Debbie (John), Shannon (Russell), sons Calvin (Brenda), Bruce (Jean) Grandchildren: Clinton (Angie), Anyla, Logan, Jody, Tehya (Clem), Fraser (Marissa), Tanis (Clay) and Lane (Ashlee). Great grand children: Taylor, Prentis, Carter and Kenzie. Predeceased by daughter Shelley and son Bobby.

Rest in peace Walter, you have earned it.
