The first lemonade stand of the year

Celebrating spring and the warm days arriving! It’s nice to see these enthusiastic entrepreneurs selling lemonade again as they did last year.

Kitimat rejects Northern Gateway in plebescite Cameron Orr Black Press Douglas Channel Watch will be hailing a victory after residents in Kitimat voted “No” in the community’s plebiscite. The vote fulfills Kitimat Council’s promise to gauge community support for the proposed Enbridge Northern Gateway Pipelines project. Unofficial results show ‘Yes’ with 1,278 votes and ‘No’ with 1,793. The No vote wins with 58.4 per cent of ballots, Yes vote trails with 41.6 per cent. 3,071 votes were cast. Councillors had at an earlier time committed to gauging support on the project as soon as the Joint Review Panel concluded their process and issued their report on the project.

The Joint Review Panel subsequently concluded in favour of Northern Gateway’s construction, save for 209 conditions that must be met. It has been a fierce fight for public opinion. Signs have sprung up on roadsides and people’s lawns, either encouraging people to vote “no to Enbridge” or “yes to Kitimat.” Both sides of the question launched websites, and began large advertising campaigns in local media. For Douglas Channel Watch, a win meant sending a message to the federal government that such a project is not welcome in the Northwest. For Enbridge, proving public support would have been a coup as the company seeks the general public’s favour in constructing their diluted bitumen pipeline from Alberta.

launched in nine communities Northern Development’s board of directors has made the Small Town Love buy local program a permanently funded program that will be delivered to nine more communities throughout central and northern B.C. this year. Small Town Love is a highly successful buy-local initiative originally launched in Quesnel to celebrate central and northern B.C.’s unique independent businesses. Last year, the Trust partnered with Small Town Love founder Amy Quarry to launch a pilot program that would replicate the Quesnel program’s success in another six northern communities (Logan Lake, 100 Mile House, Valemount, Fort St. James, Vanderhoof and Burns Lake). The pilot program was a huge success with more than 200 businesses registered. Communities that will

launch Small Town Love campaigns in 2014 include: • Village of McBride • Village of Telkwa • Northern Rockies Regional Municipality • Town of Smithers • Village of Fraser Lake • Village of Granisle • Village of Ashcroft • District of Houston • Village of Lytton

Sessions aimed at reducing log truck rollovers The BC Forest Safety Council (BCFSC) is hosting several sessions of the rollover prevention seminar, Anatomy of a Rollover, throughout the BC interior. The presenter, Grant Aune, of Advantage Fleet Services, has more than 32 years of commercial vehicle incident investigation and accident reconstruction experience. His three-hour presentations, designed specifically for log truck drivers, loader operators and forest supervisors, discuss the five main causes of rollovers and the steps drivers and loader operators can take to prevent them from occurring. “Grant really hits home the point that each truck load of logs is different and even small changes in height, weight or speed can affect handling char-

acteristics and the probability of a rollover”, says Dustin Meierhofer, Transportation and Northern Safety Director, BCFSC. The first sets of sessions are scheduled for: • April 15, 2014 – Vanderhoof Time: 9am – 12pm Location: Village Inn – 144 Columbia Street W • April 16, 2014 – Quesnel Time: 1pm – 4pm Location: Best Western Tower Inn – 500 Reid Street • April 17, 2014 – Prince George Time: 9am – 12pm Location: Columbus Community Centre – 7201 Domano Blvd “Thanks to the generosity of our local sponsors, we are able to offer these sessions free of charge”, says Meierhofer.

The British Columbia Forest Safety Council was created in September 2004 as a not-forprofit society dedicated to promoting safety in the forest industry. The organization provides training, information, guidance, safety advisor advocacy, safety reviews and audits to industry. The focus is on preventing fatalities and injuries by helping all industry participants implement best practice for improving safetyperformance. This covers all forest resource management activities from planning, timber development, harvesting, transportation and reforestation. Safety is good business.

CRA loses personal data to Heartbleed bug 900 social insurance numbers compromised

Jeff Nagel Black Press The Canada Revenue Agency says the social insurance numbers of 900 taxpayers were stolen last week by someone using the Heartbleed encryption vulnerability before the taxation agency shut down public access to its online services. It happened over a six-hour period by someone exploiting the vulnerability in many supposedly secure websites that used an open-source encryption system. The CRA said it will send registered letters to affected taxpayers and

will not be emailing them because it doesn’t want fraudsters to use phishing schemes to further exploit the privacy breach. “I want to express regret to Canadians for this service interruption,” CRA commissioner Andrew Treusch said. “I share the concern and dismay of those individuals whose privacy has been impacted by this malicious act.” Other personal data and possibly businesses’ information may also have been lost. “We are currently going through the painstaking process of analyzing other fragments of data, some that

may relate to businesses, that were also removed,” Treusch said. Taxpayers whose data was compromised will get bolstered CRA account protection and free access to credit protection services. Canada’s Privacy Commissioner is also investigating. Online services, including the E-file and Netfile online income

tax portals, were patched and relaunched Sunday after what the CRA called a vigourous test to ensure they are safe and secure. The CRA cut off access to those services April 8 as word spread that the Heartbleed bug had given hackers access to passwords, credit card numbers and other information at many websites. People whose income tax fil-

ing was delayed by last week’s CRA interruption have been given until May 5 – beyond the usual April 30 filing deadline – to file returns without being penalized. The Heartbleed vulnerability compromised secure web browsing for up to two years at some sites despite the display of a closed padlock that indicates an encrypted connection.

It’s in the water Bill Philips

Prince George Free Press Now here’s an issue we can sink our teeth into. Fluoridation. OK, that probably caused more nausea than an overdose of fluoride in your drinking water. I had an interesting chat with Emile Begin of Fluoride Free Prince George this week, … not to be confused with the Prince George Safe Water Coalition, which is also opposed to fluoridating our water. City council has put the matter to a referendum this fall so, like it or not, the community is going to be subjected to the fluoride debate. One of the issues that Begin brought up to me was the fact that Northern Health is entering the debate. As the local health authority, there is nothing wrong with it entering the fray. However, Begin’s concern, and I agree with this one, is whether Northern Health will use public money to promote fluoride. It’s one thing for Northern Health to write a letter to the editor, it’s quite another for it to use the wealth of funds we, the taxpayers, give it to enter the fray. One of the difficulties for us in the newspaper industry when it comes to the fluoride debate is there doesn’t seem to be any consensus in the scientific community. The pro side can trot out folks with a zillion letters behind their name, as can the anti-fluoridation folks. So it’s hard to really form an opinion. Should we just accept what Northern Health tells us? They are, after all, our local health authority. However, those opposing fluoridation don’t accept the word of health authorities and, in a free and democratic society, challenging authority is not only allowed, it’s encouraged. The experts aren’t always right. The anti-fluoridation folks point out that fluorine is a poison and it shouldn’t be in our water. No one is debating that fluorine is a poison. Northern Health accepts that. Warfarin is commonly used as rat poison. It is also used to keep thousands of people with congestive heart failure alive. It’s a matter of degrees. Our health officials say fluoride, in low doses, will not harm our health. Drink a glass of pure fluoride and you’re going to die a horrible death. Minute amounts in your water and you’re OK, according to health officials. The anti-fluoride side says it’s better to be safe than sorry and no fluoride in the water is the best course of action. The other part of the debate is whether fluoridated water actually helps. Begin points to a UBC study on Vancouver Island that tracked dental problems in 5,000 students in community that took fluoride out of the water. That study suggested the number of cavities decreased in that community while the community with fluoridated water the number of kids with cavities remained the same. Northern Health’s Brenda Matsen, in her letter, points to the World Health Organization that has hailed fluoridation as one of the greatest public health achievements of the 20th Century. See what I mean about it being difficult to decide? However, decide we will this fall when the matter goes to a referendum.

Farmland fight sheds little light VICTORIA – Detailed debate on changes to the Agricultural Land Commission got underway in the legislature last week, while protesters played to urban voters outside. A couple of West Kootenay NDP supporters brought a basket of homegrown veggies down to help East Kootenay MLA Bill Bennett get through the winter on a 100mile diet. A group of mostly UBC scientists wrote to Premier Christy Clark, embracing the popular assumption that the changes will automatically mean more exclusions of agricultural land, as well as expanded secondary uses in the Cariboo, Kootenay and North zones. This “jeopardizes species at risk, threatens many common species, and will impact many species prized for hunting,” they wrote. It makes me wonder if these university botanists and bird experts actually understand what farming is. You know, clear-cutting a forest and planting largely monoculture crops? Using big machinery, creating drainage, applying fertilizers, controlling diseases, pests and wild animals? Not backyard gardening, real farming of the sort that has fed more people than in all of human history? Have they heard that the largest cause of deforestation in North America is farming? Do they imagine habitat loss from subdivisions sprawling across the Cariboo?

Forests Minister Steve Thomson has been pinch-hitting for Fort St. John MLA Pat Pimm on the agriculture file as Pimm undergoes cancer treatment. Thomson took exception when NDP agriculture critic Nicolas Simons asked if he is aware people think the changes are to “neuter the chair of the Agricultural Land Commission.” Thomson, a former executive director of the Kelowna-based B.C. Agriculture Association, replied that the changes do not reduce the independence of the chair. Under further questioning from Simons, Thomson allowed that the current ALC chair, Richard Bullock, has provided no response to the government on the proposals. Kelowna-Lake Country MLA Norm Letnick was appointed Friday to replace Pimm as agriculture minister. But this ALC project is Bennett’s initiative, so I asked him about his changes to the appointment process. Bennett said the six regional panels, up to three people each, were set up by then-minister Stan Hagen in 2003 to provide local input. That worked well, he said, until Bullock came on the scene and began exercising his discretion not to appoint people recommended by cabinet. “The chair doesn’t like the regional panels,” Bennett told me. “It’s a pain in the ass for the chair to have to deal with 18 farmers from all over the province in making

decisions. It would be six farmers, because only one person from the regional panel actually sits on the provincial commission. “He thinks that it’s unwieldy, and he’d rather have the decisionmaking centralized in Burnaby. But we changed that. We decided as a duly elected government in 2003 that we wanted the regions to have a say on this stuff, so the intention of the legislation, we felt, was actually being defeated, because we hadn’t made it mandatory.” It will be mandatory soon, and Bullock’s days as commission chair appear to be numbered. “There’s no more discretion for any future chair to monkey with it,” Bennett added. One of Bennett’s key issues is denial of secondary residence construction to keep families on the land in the Interior. The legislation also introduces social and economic factors in weighing decisions in the North, Cariboo and Kootenay regions, where in most cases development pressure is an urban myth. The main ALC board will still have authority to revisit a local panel decision if the chair deems it inconsistent with the mandate to protect farmland.

April is Cancer Awareness Month

April is the month to fight back! Wear a daffodil to show your support for Canadians living with cancer and let them know that no one has to face cancer alone.

affodil Month, held every April, is a national fundraising campaign of the Canadian Cancer Society. During the month, Society volunteers are involved with numerous activities to raise vital funds for the fight against cancer. Depending on location, activities include selling fresh daffodils; asking people to make a donation and wear a daffodil pin throughout the month to show their support for people living with cancer; and canvassing neighbourhoods for donations door to door. As part of its annual Daffodil Month activities the Canadian Cancer Society has designated April 27 as Daffodil Day. This is a special day when Canadians can show their support for those living with cancer and to remember those who have died. Funds raised throughout the month help the Canadian Cancer Society prevent cancer, fund

research to outsmart cancer, empower, inform and support Canadians living with cancer and advocate for public policies to improve the health of Canadians. The Canadian Cancer Society is dedicated to the goal of controlling and eventually conquering cancer. Each year, the Canadian Cancer Society commits a percentage of the money we raise to support leading-edge

cancer research. The Society allocates the money through a strict national review process that involves scientific experts and lay people, who are often cancer survivors. This process ensures that the money is directed only to excellent cancer research across Canada. Some history In 1947, the former National Cancer Institute of Canada was

formed through a joint initiative of the Canadian Cancer Society and the Department of National Health and Welfare. In the 1940s, there was little knowledge of how to prevent cancer. There were no tools for early detection of cancer, and the only treatments available for cancer patients were surgery and a crude form of radiation therapy. During the more than 60 years that the former NCIC and Canadian Cancer Society worked in partnership, many of cancer’s mysteries have slowly been solved as research has led to increased knowledge about the disease. Since the beginning of this partnership, the Canadian Cancer Society has invested more than $1 billion to cancer research. This funding has contributed to a revolution in our understanding of cancer, which has set the stage for a new era in cancer detection, therapy and prevention. The chal-

lenge now is to continue to expand and exploit existing knowledge to develop even better treatments, detection and prevention strategies. In February 2009, the Canadian Cancer Society and the former National Cancer Institute of Canada integrated into a single organization. Research continues to be an integral part of the Canadian Cancer Society’s mission. The grant application and review process is managed by the Canadian Cancer Society Research Institute. The Canadian Cancer Society hosts a variety of special event fundraising activities in communities across Canada. Participating in one of our special events is a great way to have fun, build community spirit and join the fight against cancer. Thanks to the work of our volunteers and staff, and the generosity of our donors, we’re leading the fight against cancer.

Malignant tumour cells are able to invade nearby tissues and spread to other parts of the body. Cancer cells that spread to other parts of the body are call metastases.

“Northern Gateway’s Habitat Restoration Plan will ensure that caribou ranges are left in better condition than they were found.” - Paul Anderson, President of RPS HMA and Northern Gateway’s Director of Environment

Meet the expert: Paul Anderson is a partner at Sunexo Solutions, President of RPS HMA and Director of Environment for the Northern Gateway Project. He appeared as a witness for the Project during the Joint Review Panel process.

Northern Gateway understands and respects the important northern environments. The caribou ranges present a set of challenges that we will meet with world-class solutions and sensitivity. WE TURNED TO LEADING EXPERTS FOR ADVICE Northern Gateway consulted with experts like Paul Anderson to help us develop caribou habitat plans. Paul has more than 25 years of experience supporting major projects and has extensive knowledge of regulatory and stakeholder engagement practices in Canada. Over the past five years, Paul has been responsible for developing the environmental and socio-economic impact assessment for the Project. “There have been a multitude of industrial projects over the course of the last few decades that have put tremendous pressure on caribou habitat and populations.” Based on the experts’ recommendations, Northern Gateway has committed to detailed caribou habitat assessment and restoration

plans that go beyond requirements. One of our commitments in British Columbia is to build the pipeline on or adjacent to previously disturbed lands, where possible, in the ranges of the Narraway, Quintette, Hart and Telkwa caribou herds. Overall approximately 70 per cent of the proposed pipeline route utilizes previous disturbances. Furthermore, Northern Gateway has committed to reclaiming these areas of previously disturbed land by planting trees, creating berms and otherwise restricting access for predators and hunters along the right-of-way. Our goals for habitat renewal will be accomplished through close consultation and communications with federal and provincial regulatory agencies, local stakeholders and Aboriginal communities. CONDITIONS FOR THE BETTER Northern Gateway’s voluntary commitments to undertake specific mitigation for the protection of caribou and caribou habitat were endorsed by the Joint Review Panel. They are now reflected in 16 of the 209 conditions that we must meet for Project approval. Paul adds, “Northern Gateway’s Habitat Restoration Plan will ensure that caribou ranges are left in better condition than they were found.” This is another example of how Northern Gateway is doing everything possible in order to build a safer, better project.

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, you may need to come up with some new ways to show your affection, as your old ways are starting to fall short. Look to Leo for inspiration.

SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, you will have to remain two steps ahead of everyone else to get a project done this week. Things are moving quite quickly now, so make every minute count.

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, a few kinks still need to be worked out, but your master plan will soon be in place. Start putting the wheels in motion and your work won’t go unrecognized.

CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20 A challenge is on the horizon, Capricorn. But remain calm and you will handle every challenge that comes your way. Aries provides some extra help.

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, you are great at creating a good time out of nothing at all. Get together with a few friends and let the good times roll. Others may envy this talent.

AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, some may call you stubborn, but “dedicated” might be a more appropriate term. Once your mind is set, it is hard to pull you off course, and this week is no different.

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 You have a rare opportunity to show off your skills this week, Cancer. When your talents are on display, don’t worry about hogging that spotlight.

Rest and recharge for a few days. VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 Tasks at work have certainly tried your patience, Virgo. Just when you are settled in, you get pulled in another direction very quickly. Save up those vacation days. LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23 It’s time to lighten up, Libra. Throw a party, take a trip or hang out with friends. Just be sure to focus on fun and let other concerns fall by the wayside for a little while. SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, do your best to get all of your ducks in a row this week.

Cub Car Rally On March 22, 2014 a cub car rally was held at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints on Airport Road. Twenty-two boys raced their cars on the nice new aluminum tracks. The boys design their own cars and their parents then help them build it. Each boy had at least ten races. It was a packed gathering with lots of competitive racing, and great sportsmanship shown. This is a great opportunity for boys aged 8-11 to spend some good quality time with their dads. It is a scouting event that happens yearly and the boys have a great time and look forward to it. Results of the races are as follows: 1st place - Drake Westbrook 2nd place: Tanton Mueller 3rd place: Brecken Fawcett Best sportsman: Kade Lybbert Best sportsman: Diego Duque

Scout leaders Sarah Hara and Orenda Jarman congratulate the winners of the Cub Car Rally, Brecken Fawcett, Drake Westbrook and Tanton Mueller.
