CNC president voices one-college model restructuring The school’s $2.8 million deficit demands cut backs, layoffs and standardization REBECCA WATSON Omineca Express

Layoff notices have been issued to a number of College of New Caledonia (CNC) employees due to a growing $2.8 million deficit. During a public meeting at the Vanderhoof campus on April 1, CNC president Henry Reiser said the notices will not come into effect until July 31, adding people may, in fact, not be laid off. However, Reiser made it clear that job cuts were inevitable. “But let’s be frank, there will be job losses. The only way to meet the target of 10 per cent operational funding is vertical cuts. Since 2007, $12 million has been removed from the base budget… were at a point [that] there’s nothing left,” Reiser said. Each year the college board is required to approve a balanced budget. Since 2008-2009, the

college has had to find roughly $12.5 million in additional revenues or reductions in expenses to continually achieve a balanced budget. For the fiscal year 20152016, a combination of expense reductions and revenue increases totalling $2.8 million is required to achieve the required balanced operating budget. When CNC hired Reiser nearly a year ago, he implemented a one-college model standardizing programming and administration at all six campuses including Fort St. James, Burns Lake, Vanderhoof, Prince George and Quesnel. The reason for the implementation of the new model, Reiser said, is to ensure all students receive the same experience and to save money. “Convocation for example is different at every school so standardizing will ensure students are getting the same experience at each campus,” Reiser said. A cost recovery program will

start to contribute 15 per cent of total revenue toward college overhead including costs such as student services, human resources and payroll, maintaining buildings and equipment and paying vendors for their services. Reiser noted in his initial summary that the current Vanderhoof campus costs CNC too much but the school will stay open while the college searches for a new location. Three new regional principals will take over in MacKenzie, Quesnel and Nechako Lakes instead of the current four regional directors. The new principals will be responsible for regional planning, community liaison, labour market development and planning and campus and regional service operations. They will work with the dean of trades and plan for five years to rotate trades through CNC, Reiser said. Continued on page 2

Binche finalizes separation from Tl’azt’en REBECCA WATSON Omineca Express

The Binche First Nation is demanding self-determination and a split from the Tl’azt’en First Nation. Joshau Hallman, chair of the Binche Operations Committee said the band, located north of Fort St. James, wants to go in its own way. “Right now our direction is being controlled by Tl’azt’en Nation but Binche

wants to drive their own steering wheel and take on direction of their own values and principles,which right now we’re following someone else’s,” Hallman said. Binche, Tache, Dzit’ainli and Yekooche First Nations were amalgamated in 1959 as the Stewart Trembleur Band. Yekooche was the first to de-amalgamate in the ‘90s and have since been on their own. The Stewart Trembleur Band later changed the name to Tl’azt’en Nation which consists of the three small First Nation communities (Binche, Tache and Dzit’ainli,

a.k.a. Middle River). Binche First Nation first talked about separating from Tl’azt’en in 2011 and has since passed a resolution to become independent. Binche and Tl’azt’en are now working on finalizing the terms-of-division needed to split all assets, liabilities and reserve lands, Hallman said. “We’re coming into the third step out of four. We’ve submitted the negotiated termsof-division agreement to the Aboriginal Affairs of Northern Development of Canada (AANDC) BC region who have reviewed

the terms and have gotten back with legal formatting suggestions. If we get our termsof-division reformatted and that satisfies the federal government and it doesn’t need to be amended, we expect to have the de-amalgamation within a year,” Hallman said. Tl’azt’en First Nation is comprised of seven councillors and one chief. Tache has four councillors, Binche has two and Dzit’ainli with one. This means Tache First Nation has majority of control over Tl’azt’en and any funding the band receives. Continued on page 3

Courier Continued from front “We can not run a section that’s under-subscribed. We have a metric that we must meet. It’s a 97.5 per cent completion rate or we are penalized for that module. For trades it’s 87.5. If you don’t reach that target you’re penalized again so we have to be very judicious,” he said. Emily Colombo, economic development officer in Fort St. James, asked at the meeting how community values will be kept intact if the principal doesn’t live in the community. Reiser reiterated each campus will still have a supervisor on staff and that this transition is all about saving money. “It will say in their job description how much time needs to be spent in each community [so it’s fair],” Reiser said. The college plans to implement video confer-

encing with Applied Business Technology (ABT) courses with the ultimate goal of students being able to take the course wherever they are. The same will apply for certain trades that allow students to do their work on simulators. The hope is by September 2016 to have “smart classrooms” in Prince George, Quesnel, Vanderhoof, Fort St. James, Burns Lake and, to a lesser degree, Mackenzie, Reiser said. “Through the Distance Delivery Initiative, apprenticeships won’t have to leave their place of work and spend one day a week studying. [We want to] to reduce costs of delivery and increase students in a section so the institution will become more sustainable,” Reiser said. The CNC president also touched on what will happen to the family services curriculum at the

campuses. The plan is to phase them out after the completion of the current term, he said. “CNC is not in the business of family services and those services should be transitioned back into the community where they belong,” Reiser said. The retired chair of the Vanderhoof Library Board, Donna Klingspohn, shared a statistic at the meeting from UNBC. “The Omineca region has the lowest literacy level in the province,” she said. “We’ve worked hard to raise the literacy level here and if they make decisions solely based on saving dollars they may be cutting programs that are vital to promoting literacy in this region. I just hope they are putting some science behind it,” she said. Vanderhoof Mayor Gerry Thiessen said some occupational therapy instructors received layoff

notices but the program last year was funded by School District 91 and Nechako Valley Community Services. “What’s so hard is CNC asked to be the glue for the community and we’re part of it and we’ve embraced it and now to

have the college — without consultation — give layoff notices to integral members … we feel jolted. The money is there from the school and community services so I ask why,” he said. Reiser replied, “ We can’t afford to do this …

that’s not our business … it’s Northern Health and Elizabeth Fry’s.” In the future CNC also plans to move to a performance-based budget so those who perform well will be funded well and those who perform poorly will receive less funding.

Reiser said there is a good chance of a reoccurring deficit if something is not done now. “We’re trying to work it down but … it’s a challenge. We have demands we want to meet but it’s difficult without money,” Reiser said.

Binche finalizes separation from Tl’azt’en Continued from front A benefit of having the communities together is one administration cost for all. However, should the Binche separate, they will have to pay for their own administration costs such as public works, education and health, Ron Winser, executive director of Tl’azt’en Nation said. “Once Binche takes their population [out], Tl’azt’en Nation numbers per capita will decrease and Tl’azt’en will then receive less funding, but it will balance out. We’ll receive less funding but we will have to provide less services to a smaller population. [Binche will] gain their sovereignty but the people they put into positions will have to wear more hats,” Winser said. A Binche and Tl’azt’en separation committee have worked together to negotiate termsof-division but, now two things need to happen, Tl’azt’en First Nation Chief Justa Monk said. “Finalizing of assets and a referendum for both Tache and Binche. Then we wait to hear the decision from the ministry,” he said. “As far as I’m concerned it’s not a done deal yet.” However, the Binche has already begun to prepare for separation and is in the midst of establishing their leadership code (government structure and elections). They have started putting financial and human resource policies into place, engaging

with the membership on these topics to make sure they’re ready for the day the separation happens, Hallman said. “That way were not rushing into quick decisions that could turn into bad decisions. The exciting part is everything we do here at Binche is new, so if there’s an old practice we can change it to a new one that works in the best interest of the people and nation itself,” Hallman said. A youth council has been established at Binche to engage the community and to allow youth to be involved in

the changes. One youth representative will be given a seat on the official Binche council once established. The First Nation is also in the works of streamlining their housing department, changing policy to be more of a standalone entity, Hallman said. “We did have a large deficit in housing here with people not paying rent but within the past six months we were successful to get every house to pay rent and pay down our deficit. It’s the first time this has happened and everyone’s on board,” Hallman said.

Meisner always after the truth BILL PHILLIPS PG Free Press

My first encounter with Ben Meisner happened when I was in Williams Lake. I was the editor of the Tribune and it was election time. Ben called me up and said he wanted to put me on his radio show to talk about the Cariboo election races (I don’t remember whether it was a federal or provincial election). He slotted me 10 minutes and I spent some time preparing. After the radio gig was over somebody asked me what it was like. I joked I talked for about two minutes and Ben for the other eight. He was probably saving this newspaper guy’s butt because I talk better through my keyboard than my mouth. Last fall Ben had me back on his show to talk about the 2015 municipal election with his wife Elaine and Peter Ewart. We had a whole hour and Ben let us all run. It seemed to go by in a flash. It was the most fun I’ve had in a long time. There is a hole in the entire community’s heart today as we learn that Ben died Thursday. Cut from the same cloth as media icons like Jack Webster, Ben was a giant when it came to reporting the news. Most people, especially politicians, were trepidatious about going on his show because Ben didn’t suffer fools gladly, and he took no prisoners. If you were straight up with him, you were fine.

If you tried to sling him a line of B.S. he would not only call you on it, he would verbally tear you limbfrom-limb leaving you wondering what happened. And, if you were a politician, your career in limbo. He was a journalist’s journalist. He was fearless in his pursuit of the truth. Oftentimes we journalists would stand in awe as Ben refused to accept the pablum and doublespeak served up by politicians … mighty and the not-so mighty. He was after the truth, not a quote for his story or sound-bite for his radio show. Sadly, too many journalists these days are after the latter, not the former. We journalists could, and did, learn a lot from Ben. Not only has the community lost a great man, the journalism world has lost a legend. My condolences to his family and Elaine, who is cut

from the same journalistic cloth as Ben. His impact has certainly been felt: ““British Columbia lost a wise and passionate voice. For decades, Ben Meisner needed no introduction in Prince George and northern B.C. – his voice was instantly recognizable. “Ben led more than just opinion – one of the true pioneers of new media, his willingness to adapt with the times is an example to current and future journalists throughout the province. “Whenever you went on with Ben, you always knew one thing: be ready. He was friendly, but never failed to ask the tough questions. He knew that his listeners, and the adopted hometown he loved so much, deserved nothing less.” - Premier Christy Clark

Artists gather to celebrate life of Peter Rodseth REBECCA WATSON Omineca Express

Vanderhoof — Environment and artisan enthusiasts from around the Nechako Lakes gathered at the Burrard Market in Vanderhoof Friday, March 27 to remember Peter Rodseth.
