The trial of Cody Legebokoff under way Bill Phillips Prince George Free Press A 14-member jury is set to decide the fate of Cody Alan Legebokoff, charged with four counts of first-degree murder.

Cody Legebokoff The Fort St. James man, who had been living in Prince George when he was arrested in 2010, is charged with the murders 35-year-old Jill Stacey Stuchenko, 35-year-old Cynthia Frances Maas, 23-year-old Natasha Lynn Montgomery and 15-year-old Loren Donn Leslie. Montgomery’s body was never found. His trial got underway Monday morning before Justice Glenn Parrett. Legebokoff ap-

peared wearing a suit and tie. He has shaved his head and is now sporting a small goatee. Stuchenko was reported missing October 22, 2009 and her body was found in a gravel pit off Otway Road October 26, 2009. Mass was reported missing by friends September 23, 2010. Her body was found Oct. 9, 2010 in L.C. Gunn Park. Montgomery, who had recently been released from the Prince George Regional Correctional Centre, was last seen Aug. 31, 2010 and reported missing September 23. Her body has not been found. Leslie’s body was discovered November 27, 2010 in the bush a short distance off the highway between Fort St. James and Vanderhoof. Crown prosecutor Joseph Temple, in his opening statement, said autopsies on Stuchenko, Maas, and Leslie showed each of the three had been severely beaten. “(Stuchenko) had received multiple blows to the back of her head and face,” he said. “She suffered multiple cerebral contusions.” Both Leslie and Maas were discovered with their pants pulled down to their ankles, Temple said. Maas died of “blunt force trauma to the head and penetrating wounds to the chest,” that

were not from a bullet or knife, Temple said. Leslie died of blood loss and brain injury. Temple added she had received “powerful” blows to the head that fractured both jaws. While Montgomery’s body has not been found, Temple said evidence will be presented at the trial outlining 32 instances of her DNA being found in Legebokoff’s apartment and on his clothing. DNA evidence will also link Legebokoff and Maas, Temple said.

Courier Scientists rap Enbridge pipeline review

By Tom Fletcher Black Press The federal review panel for the Enbridge Northern Gateway proposal downplayed the risks of a heavy oil pipeline and tanker terminal at Kitimat, and its endorsement should be rejected, 300 scientists have told Prime Minister Stephen Harper. The federal cabinet is expected to release its decision on the project this month, after a review panel report in December recommended it is in the public interest. A letter from two University of B.C. scientists and one from Simon Fraser University, endorsed by academics and graduate students from around the world, was released this week. It says the panel’s report took “a broad view of the economic benefits, but an asymmetrically narrow view of the environmental risks and costs.” The benefits come to Alberta oil sands producers from an expected higher price for their crude in Asia. But the environ-

mental risks assessed by the panel are limited to transportation by pipeline and tanker, and omit the risks and emission effects from production and later consumption of the oil, the letter states. Northern Gateway project leader Janet Holder said the joint review panel (JRP) weighed evidence of from top experts in the field. “By actively seeking to undermine the work of these experts outside of the JRP process, the signatories of this letter are denying the experts and opportunity to defend their work,” Holder said. The Harper government has signaled in recent weeks it is preparing to green-light the project. On May 14, Natural Resources Minister Greg Rickford and Transport Minister Lisa Raitt announced a new rule for federally regulated pipelines, assigning “absolute liability” for costs and damages of $1 billion even when their operation is not at fault. This is on top of unlimited liability when the operator is at

On May 27, Rickford announced a new major projects management office for Western Canada, intended to increase aboriginal employment and business opportunities related to pipelines, tankers and safety systems to protect them. The JRP report cited 209 conditions, including a protection plan for whales

and other marine mammals and continued work on heavy oil cleanup. Northern Gateway officials say their marine spill prevention and response capabilities would be more than three times required by existing law. Pipeline steel would be 20% thicker than required, with the pipelines monitored and pump stations staffed around the clock.

• Opinion

The media and the Cody Legebokoff trial Bill Phillips Prince George Free Press The media circus I had anticipated for the Cody Legebokoff trial hasn’t quite materialized. I had envisioned hordes of out-of-town media descending on the Prince George courthouse for the trial and turning the place into … well, a circus. (The Greg Matters inquest is still fresh in my memory.) As it turns out, only a handful of provincial and national media have shown up for the opening days of the trial. And, from what I’ve seen, they’ve been respectful and the coverage, from both the local and national media, has been pretty good. The National Post’s Christie Blatchford is here. Reading her coverage of the trial shows why she is one of the country’s best writers. Global TV’s John Daly is also here. It will likely be one of his last big trials for Global as he has apparently taken a buy-out and will leave the station by the end of August. Fellow Global alumni Harvey Oberfeld is suggesting that Daly will move to CTV. The Globe and Mail, CBC-TV, and Canadian Press also have reporters at the trial. And, of course, the local media is there in full force as well. While the media is doing its darnedest to get the stories out, Justice Glen Parrett, in his opening remarks to the jury, told them to ignore us or, more specifically, ignore media reports about the case.

“The media can get the facts wrong, and they delight in talking to people and giving them a chance to get the facts wrong,” he said. As an example, he pointed to a story that ran in a couple of newspapers (not this one), quoting Mayor Shari Green saying the trial isn’t too big a deal in Prince George and suggested it has more of an impact on rural communities around the city because that’s where the crimes occurred. As Parrett pointed out, three of the four murders were in Prince George. Green, of course, was putting a public relations spin on things, trying to protect the city’s image. Parrett is right, the jury has to decide the case based on the facts presented in court. It has to be very difficult for them, especially over an expected six- to eight-month trial, to not see and/or be influenced by media reports on the trial. The jurors have the toughest job of all. The 10 men and four women on the jury have committed to being there for the full length of the trial. With the exception of the accused and spectators, for everyone else who is there, it’s their job. Parrett told the jury several times that they are the judges of the facts and he is the judge of the law. And they are in it for the long haul. Hats off to all the members of the jury for truly doing their civic duty. It’s not an easy task. With the trial expected to last months, the crush of out-of-town media will soon wane only to return when a verdict nears. It will be the local media that covers this trial from beginning to end. So stick with us.

Men’s Health Week June 9 - 15

On June 3, the new Canadian Men’s Health Foundation was officially launched on Parliament Hill, with the mission to inspire Canadian men to live healthier lives. Along with that, their “Don’t Change Much” campaign was released, and June 9 – 15 has been declared as the first ever Canadian Men’s Health Week. This is another step in bringing much needed attention to the health issues affecting men and the challenges we face in accessing men with our current health services. Men’s health isn’t a new topic in northern B.C. In fact, we’ve been working to support better health for our northern men since 2010, using new and innovative ways to find and connect with them about health where they live, work, learn, play and are cared for. Our northern reality is that many of our men here live and work in more rural and remote locations, hold jobs related to industry (forestry, oil and natural gas), and work long hours and shift work – often away from the family home base. Northern Health’s men’s health program, unique for a Canadian health authority and launched in 2011, was born out of the recognition that northern B.C. men not only die sooner than northern women by almost 5 years, they also die more frequently of all causes including cancer, heart disease, alcohol, tobacco, injuries and suicides. B.C. men are twice as likely as women to be non-users of the health services and although northern B.C. makes up only 7% of the province’s population, we ac-

count for over a third of the workplace deaths, where 94% of those were men. In the last three years, the men’s health program has done a lot of work consulting with men in communities across the north and creating resources and services to meet their needs. Most notably, we have brought men’s health screening to community events and gatherings where the men are, engaged with research partners around men’s health in the workplace, run a number of promotional campaigns (the “MAN challenge”, MOvember, MANuary, FeBROary), provided grants for injury prevention/men’s health champions to do work in the community, created aninteractive men’s health website (men.northernhealth.ca), developed the very popular MANual: a Men’s Health Survival Guide, and filmed a documentary called “Where are the Men?”. Looking forward, our work in men’s health has only just begun! We continue to grow and improve upon the services we offer to men in northern B.C., while sharing the importance of men’s health within the health care system, as well as in communities. We’re working to improve the health of men, because men matter! Let’s celebrate the great work being done and the efforts across Canada to bring men’s health issues to the forefront. Let’s get men talking about their health! Happy Men’s Health Week! Northern Health

Environmental Assessment of the Proposed Prince Rupert Gas Transmission Project

Open House and Invitation to Comment Prince Rupert Gas Transmission Ltd. (Proponent), a wholly owned subsidiary of TransCanada PipeLines Limited, is proposing the Prince Rupert Gas Transmission Project (proposed Project), an approximately 900 km natural gas pipeline from near the District of Hudson’s Hope to the proposed Pacific NorthWest LNG liquefied natural gas export facility on Lelu Island, within the District of Port Edward. The proposed Project would involve the construction and operation of a 48-inch (1,219 mm) diameter pipeline, metering facility, and three compressor stations, with provision for up to an additional five compressor stations to allow for future expansion. The proposed Project will have an initial capacity of approximately 2.0 billion cubic feet (bcf/day) with potential for expansion to approximately 3.6 bcf/day. The proposed Project is subject to review under British Columbia’s Environmental Assessment Act. The Proponent has now submitted its application (Application) to obtain an environmental assessment certificate, which is required before any work can be undertaken on the proposed Project. In order to provide information to the public about the Application, and to receive comments from the public, the Environmental Assessment Office of British Columbia (EAO) invites the public to attend Open Houses at the following locations.

Enbridge Northern Gateway’s May 29th open house in Fort St. James was shown little interest by the public. In comparison, a steady influx of about 65 people gathered outside the venue holding up bright blue UNITED AGAINST ENBRIDGE signs. They also sang and drummed their opposition to the pipelines during the two and one half hour open house. Horns were honked by many of those driving by. There was a feeling of unity to their cause! Residents of the communities of Fort St. James, Nak’azdli and the surrounding rural area, were joined in solidarity by others from Fraser Lake, Vanderhoof, and as far away as the Okanagan to show Enbridge Northern Gateway continuing and strengthening opposition to their proposed pipelines project. Twenty minutes after the close of the open house there were only a few of us left outside, a distance from the building. RCMP arrived to escort the Enbridge staff to their vehicles and led them out of the parking lot. Since Enbridge Northern Gateway is afraid of some singing and drumming, imagine how those who oppose the pipelines feel about their consequences! If there is any doubt of growing opposition, there are now over a hundred UNITED AGAINST ENBRIDGE signs displayed throughout the area. Brenda Gouglas member of the Fort St. James Sustainability Group

Regional district to develop new economic action plan

Business and community leaders in the BulkleyNechako district are urged to have their input heard

Steven Maisey Lakes District News The Regional District of Bulkley-Nechako is creating a new regional economic development action plan that will be used by the regional district to support the region's businesses and communities, as well as to build a strong regional economy. In order for the action plan to reflect the local needs and perspectives of the local businesses, it is essential that the regional district hear from local business and community leaders. There are multiple ways to get involved and have your voice heard. The regional district urges business and community leaders to attend a community forum to share ideas about the economic development action plan. These forums were held June 3 in Vanderhoof and Fort St. James, June 4 in Fraser Lake, June 5 in Burns Lake and will be held June 16 in Smithers and Telkwa, June 17 in Houston and June 18 in

Granisle. The goals of the economic development action plan are to develop longterm economic prosperity, enhance the region as a great place to live, work and visit, offer a quality of life that serves to attract and retain residents, offer all residents, communities and businesses an opportunity to prosper and to ensure the regional economy is diverse. The plan will provide overall economic develop-

ment direction for the Regional District of BulkleyNechako, in addition to identifying mutually supportive partnerships. "What we're hoping to achieve is to support the economic prosperity of our region and use those things that enhance the livability and resilience that's where we are going with this," Bill Miller, Director of Area B for the Regional District said. Other ways to have your opinion heard is to

fill out an online survey at www.rdbn.bc.ca/economicdevelopment/actionplan, or to set up a personal interview with the regional district by contacting the manager of economic development, Corrine Swenson via email, at corrine. swenson@rdbn.bc.ca, or by telephone at 250-6923195. For more information, visit: www.rdbn.bc.ca/ economicdevelopment/ economic-development/ action-plan.

NEWS Invasive Species Week June 9-15 raising

awareness about harmful effects of invasives to environment, economy, society in BC To draw attention to the dangers of introducing or spreading invasive species in British Columbia, the BC government has officially declared June 9-15, 2014 as Invasive Species Week across the province. Invasive species threaten BC’s environment, economy and society, including human health, but stopping invasive species is possible if we take action now to prevent, detect and manage invasive species. “There are hundreds of invasive and non-native species in BC – from daffodils to giant hogweed – but only some invasive species are of high concern due to their impact on the environment and the economy,” says Gail Wallin,

Executive Director of the Invasive Species Council of BC (ISCBC). “Invasive Species Week is a chance to celebrate the successes made to prevent and stop the spread of invasive species, and to highlight the need to be vigilant and educated about invasive species, how to spot them, how to prevent them, and how to stop their spread before they become a danger to our province.” To promote Invasive Species Week, a new website has been set up at invasivespeciesweek.com. British Columbians will find information about how to prevent and stop the spread of invasive species in their gardens, parks and forests, lakes, rivers and

oceans, and in their cities, towns and across the province. There are links to events and activities being held by the Invasive Species Council of BC, regional invasive species committees, local governments and stewardship organizations across BC. Many of the events during Invasive Species Week will allow citizens to participate in hands on and concrete actions, such as field days, weed pulls, native plant restoration sessions, garden tours, a special “Forbidden Delights” invasive species menu at a Nelson restaurant, a GrowMe-Instead workshop for gardeners, and displays at farmer’s markets around BC. A full calendar is avail-

able at www.invasivespeciesweek.com. Public interest in learning how to spot and prevent invasive species has been growing. Last year, ISCBC saw an increase of 15% in requests for their resources, including youth programs, outreach materials, training materials, and workshops. Some ISCBC programs include the Plantwise program, which helps gardeners and the horticultural industry to reduce the sale, introduction and spread of invasive plants. The Grow Me Instead booklet illustrates 26 of BC’s most “unwanted” plants, offering alternatives for gardeners and landscapers. ISCBC also runs a program aimed at

boaters to prevent the introduction and spread of aquatic invasive species. Clean, Drain Dry encourages responsible boater behaviours and was run in 33 communities last year, with more than 2,800 boaters committing to cleaning, draining and drying boats and equipment before entering a new water body. “Invasive Species Week is a great opportunity for the public to become aware of the programs run both provincially and in their local areas, by regional invasive species committees, local governments and other stewardship organizations,” added Wallin. “Get involved in learning how to prevent invasive species from

taking hold, and how to keep them from damaging British Co-

lumbia’s environment, economy and our society.”
