Patholigist says Leslie could not have killed herself A forensic pathologist testified Wednesday that Loren Donn Leslie, 15, died from a combination of blood loss and brain injury as a result of “blows to the side of the head and a [deep] puncture wound to the neck.” Under direct questioning from Crown prosecutor Joseph Temple, Dr. John Stefanelli of Kamloops said “that central puncture wound went deep.” Indeed, it caused damage to the voice box (larynx) and although no major neck vessels such as carotoid arteries were involved, other small arteries and veins were, he said. “It was a serious wound that caused a significant amount of bleeding.” He told the 14-person B.C. Supreme Court jury: “With medical attention, the [neck] wound would have been survivable … without medical attention (or applying pressure) it would have been fatal.” The pathologist described, in detail, injuries shown in photographs taken during the Dec. 2, 2010 autopsy including those to Leslie’s hands, which Stefanelli said were consistent with defensive wounds, sever-

al cuts and bruises, broken nose bone – she’d been “struck quite hard on the front of her face, at least once,” he said. Further, Leslie had swollen and broken fingers on her left hand which appeared to have been “stomped on.” Leslie’s body was found off Hwy. 27 November 27, 2010. Cody Legebokoff, now 24, is standing trial in Prince George charged with killing Leslie as well as three other area women, Jill Stuchenko, Cynthia Maas and Natasha Montgomery. Testifying on Day 8 of the trial, Stefanelli said that with respect to Leslie’s head wounds, he could not quantify the force used to inflict them. “It’s a significant amount of force, obviously,” he said. Looking at one photo, the pathologist shook his head, then explained he’d had to shave the right side of Leslie’s head in order to view and examine the extent of the wounds. His voice softened. “She had quite lovely … long hair – that’s why it’s

not there,” he said. Towards the end of his questions, Temple asked Stefanelli if he believed the injuries to Leslie could have been self-inflicted. “I don’t think that is possible,” the pathologist said. He noted that Leslie had at least three blows to the head which caused deep cuts – any one of which would have had incapacitating effects on her and rendering her unable to perform the other injuries found on her body “no matter in what order.” Given the puncture wounds and hand injuries [including fractures to her fingers] when you add those factors together, he said, “I don’t think she would have been capable of doing them to herself.” Cross-examination of Stefanelli is expected to begin Thursday morning. None of the allegations against Legebokoff have been proven in court. The trial began on June 2 and for the first few days at least saw national media and a full gallery in attendance. B.C. Supreme Court Justice Glen Parrett is presiding over the case which is expected to last six months or more.

Looking for child care or wanting to provide child care? Important information to consider

Whether you are considering using a friend, family member or a regulated child care home or program, when selecting child care you need to look at a number of things before making your final selection. You and your child want a long lasting relationship with your child care provider. The person, the environment and the programming are all important pieces that make up a good place for children to spend their days. All parties involved need to be happy with the arrangement. In order for care providers to provide quality care, they need a good understanding of child development. Knowing what the appropriate developmental milestones are and when they should be reached is important. Research has shown how crucial the first five years are in influencing lifelong learning and success. Studies have shown that provider education does impact the quality of the care provided.

The relationship between the parent and provider as well as the provider and the child is another important factor. The child care provider needs to be able to meet the needs of the child as an individual and also be a partner in raising the child. Your child’s temperament is also an important consideration. Does your child enjoy larger groups or are they better in a small group? Do they enjoy field trips and events or feel more secure staying in one place? Are they able to fall asleep easily in a room with other children or do they need lots of rocking and cuddling before being laid in their bed in a quiet room? The environment where your child will be all day must please you both. Opportunities for social, emotional, cognitive and physical development need to be evident. The space must be healthy, safe, clean, and comfortable. Having adequate amounts of developmentally appropriate toys and material for the number of chil-

dren in care should be apparent. Choosing child care can be one of the most difficult jobs a parent has. If you are providing or want to provide child care you need to follow The Child Care Licensing Regulations and Community Care and Assisted Living Act, provincial laws that set the base level of protection of the health, safety, and dignity of individuals in care. If you care for more than two children who are not related to you, you are required to be licensed. If you are caring for two children and the parents would like to qualify for a higher rate of subsidy or you wish to have some training and quality checks in place you may become registered with Child Care Resource and Referral. You can contact Child Care Resource and Referral at 250-563-2483 or www. ccrr.bc.ca or Community Care Facilities Licensing at 250-565-2150 or http:// www.northernhealth.ca for more information.

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. All open houses will be held between 4 p.m. and 8 p.m. June 16 – Terrace Open House Best Western Plus Terrace, Skeena Ballroom 4553 Greig Avenue, Terrace

Premier shuns refinery decisions to avoid conflict New oil refinery proposal involves ex-husband

Jeff Nagel Black Press Premier Christy Clark is stepping aside from any decisions related to new oil refineries after the emergence of a new refinery proposal involving her ex-husband. Mark Marissen has been hired as vice-president of Pacific Future Energy, which today announced plans to build an oil refinery in Prince Rupert. “I learned that this proposal was going to become something real last week,” Clark said, adding she then contacted the provincial conflict-of-interest commissioner for guidance. Pacific Future Energy is the latest company pursuing the idea of refining bitumen from the Alberta oil sands before it’s loaded onto tankers so there’s less risk to the marine environment waters in the event of a spill. Victoria businessman David Black, owner of Black Press newspapers, has spearheaded a similar refinery proposal, to be located between Kitimat and Terrace. Black’s Kitimat Clean plan could use bitumen coming from the Northern Gateway pipeline – if it’s built – or else it could aim to build a separate pipeline or use trains carrying oil by rail. Black continues to seek a $10-billion loan guarantee from the federal government to satisfy potential international investors. Pacific Future Energy said it plans a scaleable $10-billion refinery ranging from 200,000 barrels per

day up to one million if required. Salmer Salameh, the executive chairman of Pacific Future and the head of a Mexican infrastructure conglomerate, called it “a unique opportunity to build the greenest refinery in the world.” The company announced its plan Tuesday and said it’s beginning pre-feasibility studies. It comes ahead of an imminent decision by the federal government on Enbridge’s proposed Northern Gateway pipeline project, which would carry bitumen to Kitimat for export by tanker.

Look for us online at : caledoniacourier.com

“It is my understanding that this proposal doesn’t depend or isn’t linked to any pipeline proposal,” Clark told reporters Tuesday. She will refer all government deliberations on any refinery proposal to Finance Minister Mike de Jong. The conflict-of-interest rules for MLAs do not specifically cover spouses, but say MLAs should recuse themselves if a situation is likely to lead to a perception they may personally benefit. NDP finance critic Mike Farnworth called it the right decision.

“It’s important that the premier is held to a higher standard,” he said. The B.C. Liberals 2013 election platform backed the concept of Black’s refinery plan and pledged to support its development. Black said he met last year with Pacific Future’s Mexican backers, who initially wanted to partner with him on the new refinery. But he said they were only interested if they got majority control, something Black rejected as against Canada’s interests and potentially leading to reduced environmental safeguards. “The good news to me is their interest validates our value-added concept for any doubters out there as to whether this is a good business proposition,” Black said. “Here’s somebody else who wants to do the same thing.” There have been no further talks on joining forces, he said. Black said he’s not concerned about provincial bias arising from Marissen’s role. “I’m not asking the province to pick a favourite or anything but I do hope they endorse the concept and provide funding for the concept so we can move ahead.” Black said he’s been told by federal officials that a loan guarantee from Ottawa is possible – but only if B.C. also backs it. “It comes down to whether the B.C. government is keen on championing this kind of project and has money for it.”

Invasive plant and animal species are the target of public education

Steven Maisey Lakes District News June 9-15 was proclaimed as Invasive Species Week by the B.C. provincial government. The purpose of Invasive Species Week was to promote and raise awareness of the economical and environmental damage that invasive plants and animals can cause communities. Since 2012 the provincial government has provided the Invasive Species Council of B.C. $2.1 million to help prevent aquatic species from entering B.C., as well as to support public awareness programs. Along with the $2.1 million provided to the Invasive Species Council of B.C., the provincial government, last month, announced that $1.6 million in invasive plant grants have been awarded to 29 regional districts, municipalities and invasive species organizations, which includes the Regional District of Bulkley-Nechako (RDBN) That money is in an addition to the $809,000 that the Minister of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations has set aside for invasive plant control and management in 2014-2015. The RDBN has its own Invasive Plant Management Program which is administered by the regional districts' Environmental Services Department. As well, the RDBN is a member of the Northwest Invasive Plant Council (NWIPC), which since 2005 has been conducted using a 'single agency approach.' "Invasive plant control has been conducted using a 'single agency approach' various organizations, including the Regional District of Bulkley-Nechako, various municipalities, Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure, Ministry

of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations, BC Hydro and others, contribute funding to the NWIPC," Carolynn Lane, Sustainability Assistant for the RDBN said. "The contributed monies are managed using a partnership delivery model to achieve on the ground control of invasive plants on each jurisdiction, as well as public awareness, inventory, and assessments. On the ground treatments and inventory are conducted by contractors in each Invasive Plant Management Area." The NWIPC covers the area from Valemount to Haida Gwaii and north to the Yukon border, excluding the Peace Region. Invasive plant programs are designed to identify areas where invasive plant species are growing a rapidly contain and eradicate the area. The top three invasive plant species in the Burns Lake area include mountain bluet, which is highly invasive and displaces natural vegetation, common tansy, which may be toxic to cattle and displaces natural vegetation and field scabious, which competes with forage stands and native pastures, causing decline in hay production. The RDBN has a Landowner Rebate Program where locals can apply for a rebate on the extraction of invasive species in their home gardens. This money is set aside by the NWIPC for each member. The applicants jurisdiction depends on the maximum amount that they could be refunded for the cost. Burns Lake residents can receive up to a $500 rebate if their application is accepted. Along with concern over invasive plant species the week targeted the education of harmful aquatic invasive species.

The Regional District of Bulkley-Nechako This focused mainly on the potential to transencourages anyone that sees invasive plants to port these species by recreational boaters. The Invasive Species Council of B.C. pro- call the Northwest Invasive Plant Council's hotgrams, such as the 'Clean, Drain, Dry' program line at 1-866-44WEEDS(93337). Boaters can learn more about the Invasive target the education of recreational boaters. This program encourages boaters to clean, Species Council of B.C.'s 'Clean, Drain, Dry' drain and dry and equipment, boats, motors, program at www.bcinvasives.ca/programs/ trailers, bait buckets and pets of aquatic debris aquatics. before leaving a lake or body of water. Those who fail to do so face stiff penalties. In 2012, an amendment to the alien species regulations ensures that boaters clean all boats or related equipment to prevent the spread of species, such as ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH quagga mussels. (Across from the Petrocan Station) Those who fail to do so face fines of up to $100,000. SUNDAY LITURGY: Saturday 7:30 pm & Sunday 10:30 am Minister of Forests, Lands and NatuDAILY MASS: Monday - Friday 9:00 am ral Resource Operations, Steve ThomPASTORAL TEAM: FATHER FRANK SALMON 250-996-8343 son encourages British Columbians to SR. PAT MACAULAY, SR. DIVINA PEDRO educate themselves about these species. 250-996-2275 "During Invasive Species Week, I encourage British Columbians to learn more about these damaging plants and animals and actions that anyone can take to limit their spread," Thomson said, "I encourage citizens to use the Report-AWeed app, and I encourage boat owners to ensure they 'clean, drain and dry' their boats before launching in B.C.'s lakes and rivers." In 2012, Burns Lake had a clean station for boats that was part of a pilot program. The station is no longer there as the focus has shifted more towards the education of local boaters to the harms of invasive species.

Obituaries

Vernon Smith

July 16, 1934 - May 10, 2014 He always said it was a good day because he did not see his picture on the post office door.

Vernon was born in Kemptown, Colchester County, Nova Scotia, to James William Smith and Mildred Irene Stevens, and proud to say he was a Bluenoser!! He has two younger sisters Carol and Sharon. He met mom on a blind date in 1952 and they were married 08 Apr 1953. There first child, Linda was born in April 1954. They moved to British Columbia in 1957, and a short time later their first son Stewart was born. Later on they had two more sons, Dale, and Darcy. Vernon had a knack of being able to figure out and run any piece of bush machinery, in minutes, and of all the years he drove logging truck he can boast that he never rolled a truck or dumped a load. He was capable of listening to the sound of an engine running and being able to pin point exactly what was wrong with it. They actually lived in Ft. St. James, three times. This last time he opened and operated Highway 27 Towing for88 towing for years. Failing health forced him to sell out. He struggled with COPD for ten years before finally succumbing to it on the 10th of May. He put up one heck of a fight to stay with us. He is predeceased by his father James William Smith, his first son Stewart Smith and grandson Casey. He is survived by both his sisters, Carol and Sharon (Lloyd Unra) and his mom Mildred who is 98 years old, his devoted wife Jean, daughter Linda (Peter Connolly) and son Dale and Darcy. He has 8 grandchildren 3 great grandchildren and numerous nieces and nephews. You will never realize how many people over his life time he helped get back on their feet after tough times had fallen upon them. He never asked for anything in return. He will be missed, but never forgotten. The man left an impression with most everyone he met. Thank you for attending this luncheon for our family to remember him.
