B.C. Arts Council supports culture in Nechako Lakes
Two arts and culture organizations serving the riding of Nechako Lakes have been awarded a total of $13,971 in B.C. Arts Council grants, Nechako Lakes MLA John Rustad announced today. “We are fortunate to enjoy a vibrant arts scene in our region,” Rustad said. “I am pleased to see this funding support the great work of the arts councils in Burns Lake and Fort St. James.” The B.C. Arts Council awarded
Spring Tire Sale
grants to the following arts and culture organizations: · The Community Arts Council of Fort St. James received $7,722. · Lakes District Arts Council received $6,249. The funding comes from a record-high $24 million the B.C. Arts Council received from the provincial government to support artists, arts activities and culture in the 2013-14 fiscal year. As B.C.’s lead agency for arts
funding and development, the B.C. Arts Council enlists the expertise of British Columbia’s artists to evaluate grant applications through a peer review process independent of government. Established in 1995, the B.C. Arts Council consults with the arts and culture community to develop policies, programs and strategic priorities for the sector. Last year, the Council approved more than 1,000 grants in over 200 communities in
every region of the province. The provincial government is providing $24 million to the B.C. Arts Council this year, the highest funding level in the Council’s history. Overall, it is investing $60 million towards B.C.’s artists, arts organizations and cultural institutions during the 2014-15 fiscal year. For more information about the B.C. Arts Council, including information on how to apply for grants, visit BCArtsCouncil.ca.

Can Enbridge Northern Gateway meet the Joint Review Panel’s conditions of approval? I have slowly but surely been working my way through the Joint Review Panel’s Considerations and conditions of their recommendation of approval of Enbridge Northern Gateway’s pipelines project. The following two conditions in relation to training and education caught my eye. Condition 77 - Training and Education Monitoring Plan: Northern Gateway must file with the NEB for approval, at least 6 months prior to commencing construction, a plan for monitoring the implementation and outcomes of Aboriginal, local, and regional training and education measures and opportunities for the Project. Condition 79 - Training and education monitoring reports: Northern Gateway must file with the NEB, at least 6 months prior to commencing construction, and every 6 months thereafter until completing construction, monitoring reports for the implementation and outcomes of Aboriginal, local, and regional training and
education measures and opportunities for the Project. My interest in the subject of those conditions was stirred some time ago. We have all seen the Enbridge Northern Gateway full page advertisements in this paper telling of the benefits of their proposed pipelines project, one of them being their $3 million dollar Education and Training Fund. In the ads Enbridge Northern Gateway said the fund is to support “training initiatives that focus on pipeline construction skills”. In addition to that, in evidence Enbridge Northern Gateway stated “Northern Gateway is committed to building skills and subsequently improving employment outcomes within Northern Gateway’s local communities in advance of Project approval.” It might not be widely known that Enbridge Northern Gateway has been spending their Education and Training Fund dollars in our community. Last summer I learned they were funding The

Key Resource Centre, but it wasn’t until Enbridge Northern Gateway staff Donny van Dyk attended the April 23rd council meeting and updated mayor and council on local spending that we learned just how much funding they provided to The Key. In 2013/2014 Enbridge Northern Gateway spent $200, 000 of their $3 million dollar Education and Training Fund on The Key, and have committed another $200,000 this year. Do the following primary activities of The Key, outlined in the January 2014 Mid-term Report which sports the Northern Gateway logo, satisfy Enbridge Northern Gateway’s contention that their Education and Training Fund supports training initiatives that focus on pipeline construction skills? l Health Oriented: HIV/Aids Awareness day; Breast Cancer Awareness day; Flu Shots; Beyond the Blue; Reflexology l Educational: life skills; resume and cover letter creation; computer programming; Literacy Question of the Month
l Social/Recreational: puzzles; End the Violence walk; Christmas season greetings card delivery; Emaculata Basil walk; music/guitar; Pumpkin carving contest Will Enbridge Northern Gateway use stats from The Key Resource Centre to meet the conditions set out by the Joint Review Panel? I asked those questions of Catherine Pennington, Enbridge Northern Gateway’s Senior Manager, Community Benefits & Sustainability on April 25th. She refused to comment, saying “I am doubtful any answer I provide will satisfy you.” My concern isn’t with what answer Ms. Pennington could have provided me. My concern is with what Enbridge Northern Gateway will tell the NEB in order to meet their conditions of approval.

Over the last decade we have been carefully planning this project. It is the most advanced pipeline proposal under consideration that is responding to these challenges. The project has undergone the intense scrutiny of the Joint Review Panel of the National Energy Board–the most extensive scientific review of its kind in Canadian history–and received its endorsement for approval. By moving ahead, Northern Gateway will safely open new markets for Canadian oil much sooner than any other project under consideration. While this provides a huge economic benefit for Canadians, it is not the only opportunity Northern Gateway has to offer.
N E L N
A C
H
E TH
Most important, no matter what product we are moving, Northern Gateway will always ensure that ours is a safer, better project. That’s because Northern Gateway is already incorporating numerous measures specifically designed for British Columbia’s environment and landscape, and is already setting a new standard in Canada for safety and environmental responsibility. For example, every tanker carrying Canadian oil to new markets will be double-hulled and guided to open ocean by B.C. coast pilots. All loaded tankers will be escorted by two tugs, and every tanker coming into our terminal will be fully vetted for safety. At Northern Gateway we are working every day to build a project that will serve our country for generations to come. That passionate commitment is at the heart of our proposal. It drives us in everything we do. It has resulted in a project that measures up to its original promise of a safer, better pipeline that benefits every British Columbian and every Canadian.
Escort tugs will respond immediately in the case of an emergency, and one of the two escort tugs will be tethered at all times.

This is the main reason why Northern Gateway is urgently needed. Northern Gateway will open new markets for Canadian oil in Asia, creating thousands of good-paying jobs in British Columbia and generating much-needed revenues for taxpayers.
All tankers calling on our terminal must be vetted by a third-party prior to leaving their port of origin.

Canada has vast oil reserves that have the power to ensure jobs and other economic benefits for generations of British Columbians and Canadians. But this resource is only going to one market–the United States–meaning Canadians are losing out on hundreds of millions of dollars.

If, in the years ahead, a new refinery is built in Kitimat that offers the same benefits as international markets, Northern Gateway will be able to deliver product for that as well. Or, if a facility is built in Alberta, Northern Gateway will be able to move refined product to new markets. In fact, Northern Gateway can provide a safe means of transport from Alberta to Kitimat for oil wherever it is needed most, at home or abroad, always ensuring that Canadians get the value we rightly expect from our most valuable commodity.

Refused to stop On April 23., a Ft. St. James man entered a guilty plea in a Prince George courtroom to charges of obstruction under the Criminal Code and drive without due care and attention under the Motor Vehicle Act. The case originated in the spring of 2013 on a remote logging road NE of Burns Lake. An allterrain vehicle driver refused to stop and accelerated through a check stop operated by local conservation officers on the May long weekend. The all-terrain vehicle was tracked
and located near Ogston Lake, at which time the driver accelerated towards officers once more. The driver, who smelled of alcohol was arrested and pulled from the vehicle. Richard Lee Hoffert has been sentenced to a fine of $2500 and placed on conditions of 6 months of probation and only permitted to drive a motor vehicle for work purposes. The all-terrain vehicle seized at the time of the offence, will be released back to the owner next month.

Immunize for your health Immunizations are a big part of keeping your little ones healthy!
Did you know that in the last 50 years, immunization has saved more lives than any other health intervention in Canada? Immunization works to protect you against specific diseases that can make you very sick or even kill you. Once you get immunized, your body works to make antibodies against that specific disease. Antibodies act as a defense for your body to protect you if you are exposed to the disease in the future. April 26 to May 3 was National Immunization Awareness Week in Canada. There can be a lot of confusing and misleading information on immunizations, so here are a few common questions and answers: Q: We’ve been immunizing for a long time. Are the diseases gone? Is it safe to stop immunizing?
A: These diseases are still around. Some vaccine-preventable diseases are rare in Canada (e.g., diphtheria); however, history has shown that rates of disease increase if we stop immunizing. Q: What are common side effects of an immunization? A: Every immunization is a little different, but common side effects are a low fever or soreness where the shot was given. Q: Is it better to get the disease “naturally” rather than to get the vaccine? A: No, natural infection from some diseases can make people very sick or kill them before their body is able to fight it off. The risks associated with vaccines are much less than the risks associated with disease. For additional trusted information about vaccinations and immunizations, check out
HealthLink BC, or download their app, BC Health Service Locator. Want to make it easier to remember when you or someone in your family is due for their next immunization? Go to ImmunizeBC to set up text reminders that will be sent right to your phone to remind you of upcoming immunizations. It is free, and can be used for any age and immunization. This website also has a lot of good information on immunizations, and has a chat room that allows people to talk to a nurse. Also, you can download a free app (ImmunizeCA) to help you keep track of your family’s vaccinations. For more information or to receive immunizations, please contact your local health unit. What are some of the ways that you keep track of your immunizations?

35th Annual Mother’s Day Relay Run Sunday May 11th, 2014 Fort St. James to Vanderhoof Teams are encouraged to participate in the 35th running of the Fort to Vanderhoof relay on May 11th. If anyone is interested in putting a team in let me know. For my own team I’m seeking any runners in their 60’s for a “world record” attempt for a 60’s plus team. Runners aged 60 plus can call me at 250-996-8572 or 250-996-3634 (my cell). All teams young and old are welcome – younger runners sometimes do 1/2 a stage!
39 local and out of town representatives gathered today at 11:00am April 28 to remember those workers that lost their lives at their workplace due to injury or illness in BC in 2013.

The greatest threat to the BC environment This is the second of two columns addressing what I see as the greatest threat to the BC environment in our lifetime. The Alberta oil industry’s Northern Gateway plan is to export bitumen to Asia via tankers from the BC coast. Under no circumstances should we allow that to happen. A bitumen spill at sea could destroy our coastline, together with the fish and wildlife that depend on it, for hundreds of years. My first column discussed the light oil spill by the Exxon Valdez and the terrible toll it took on the Alaskan habitat and fishery. It also gave proof that a bitumen spill would be far worse. A bitumen spill would be almost completely unrecoverable because it would sink and stay on the bottom of our seabed. The solution that is best for Canada is to build a refinery in Kitimat. I am promoting and backing this solution. It will convert the bitumen to very light fuels that would float and evaporate if ever spilled. There are other enormous benefits: There will be a major reduction in greenhouse gases. We will use new
cutting-edge Canadian technology in our refinery. It will be so clean that in combination with oilsands extraction there will be less CO2 than in the huge conventional oilfields and refineries of Iraq and Nigeria. In other words the Kitimat refinery will neutralize the extra greenhouse gases generated in Canada’s oilsands. This refinery will be built in Asia if not in Kitimat, and if so it will emit double the CO2 of our new design. This is the reason that Andrew Weaver of the BC Green Party is in favour of a Canadian refinery. An Asian refinery will also generate 100 train cars a day of very dirty coke (much fouler than BC coal) which will be subsequently burnt in the atmosphere to create power. The Kitimat refinery will not result in the production of any coke. As we all live on one planet, it is far better for the global environment to build this refinery in
Canada. Construction of the refinery will create 6,000 jobs in BC for five years. Operations at the refinery will result in more permanent jobs than any project has ever created in BC with approximately 3,000 direct jobs. These will be highly paid permanent jobs. These jobs will be available for the life of the refinery which should be in excess of 50 years. In addition there will be thousands of other jobs created in spinoff local petrochemi-
cal companies and in indirect employment throughout the province. The Canadian and Provincial governments, local regional districts and municipalities, and many First Nations, will share in billions of new tax dollars each year. Unfortunately our Canadian oil companies are not interested in building a new major refinery. They are focused on extraction which is more profitable than refining. One of them challenged me to spearhead the refinery myself, so I am doing that. We have a solid business plan and as a consequence Chinese banks and other institutions are prepared to lend us most of the funds required to build the greenest and most efficient refinery in the world. We are currently moving ahead with engineering design and environmental work. We will also build a safe pipeline from Alberta to the refinery, with the active participation of First Nations.
Modern pipelines can be built and operated safely. Leak data is available for everyone to see on Canadian and US government websites and it proves recently constructed pipelines are not leaking. Furthermore some of the best pipelining companies in the world are based in Canada. In addition we will build a fleet of new tankers, powered by LNG rather than Bunker C oil, to transport the refined products to Asia. This way we know the tankers will be state-of-the-art and as safe as possible. The fleet will be owned by a company based in BC so it cannot shirk its legal liability if there ever is a spill at sea. Let me be up front about my biases. I am for creating thousands of good permanent jobs in BC. I am for creating billions of new tax dollars for government coffers. I am for reducing the planet’s greenhouse gas emissions. I am for building an oil pipeline that will never leak. I am for building a modern tanker fleet that carries only refined fuels that float and evaporate if spilled. I am against shipping bitumen in tankers. If you agree that we
should not put bitumen in tankers please contact your local MP and say so. The Canadian gov-
ernment makes a decision on Northern Gateway next month. David Black
