SD 91 announces school closure

The School District 91 Board of Education has announced their decision on school reconfigurations in Vanderhoof.

Prairiedale Elementary School will close, Sinkut View Elementary will remain open and all Vanderhoof elemen-tary schools will re-configure as Kinder-garten to Grade 6.

The Grade seven students will all at-tend Nechako Valley Secondary School which will then be-come a Grades 7-12 school.

The EBUS Academy will remain in within the WL McLeod School but the board said they will be looking for a new home for the academy later on.

Replacement of WL McLeod Elementary will be worked on.

The school board reached the decision at a public meeting on June 17 after the public consultation period had ended.

L-R: Delphina Joseph, Charlene Joseph and Vanessa Joseph were protesting next to the Farmer’s Market in Spirit Square on Friday, June 14. The three women were protesting continued issues concerning the Yekooche chief and council, where some band members and officials want a newly elected chief recognized as the new leader, while Chief Henry Joseph continues to be recognized by the Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development Canada.

Yekooche protest and power struggleRuth LloydCaledonia Courier

A few Yekooche band members were protesting alongside Stuart Drive on June 14, in conjunction with simultaneous protests in Prince George and Vancouver.

The Prince George protest saw picket-ers outside of the Yekooche Band of-fices and the Vancou-ver protest took place outside the offices of the Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Devel-opment Canada.

Band members say they are frustrated by a lack of recognition of by-election results from April 18, 2013 which would have seen Chief Henry Jo-seph and Councillor Mathew Ernie Joseph lose their seats.

The pair were re-called in what has been an ongoing dis-pute since an election in September of 2011.

The first recall and by-election was held in February of 2012, but a federal judge overturned the results and Chief Henry Jo-seph was reinstated in September 2012.

Upon the judge’s recommendations, the band made changes to their custom election code and held another recall and by-election on April 18 of this year.

In this more recent election, Yekooche band members elected Allan Joseph as chief and Miranda Joseph as a new councillor.

While Yekooche band employees and protesters were call-ing for Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development Canada (AANDC) to step in and recognize the new chief and councillor, AANDC said there isn’t anything for them to do.

“Because Yekooche

First Nation’s custom code process is out-side of the electoral provisions of the In-dian Act, the depart-ment has no role to play as to how the community’s leader-ship is selected or how governance disputes are resolved,” said Su-san Cuthbert in a short email responding to an interview request.

“The information AANDC has received regarding an amend-ment to the commu-nity code, a commu-nity recall process and subsequent by-elec-tion in the Yekooche First Nation is the sub-ject of dispute within the community,” said Cuthbert. “AANDC has asked that the First Nation work towards a resolution that will provide clarity as to the elected leaders in the community.”

Due to the con-

tinued disagreement amongst the elected officials, the band has not been able to achieve a quorum to sign their fund-ing agreement with AANDC, leaving the

band also without transfer payments to fund their operations.

The current re-corded leaders of the community are: Chief Henry Joseph, and Councillors Angelica

Rose Joseph, Mathew Joseph and Mitchell Joseph, according to AANDC.

The impasse is on-going.

The Caledonia Courier has not been

able to contact Chief Henry Joseph since finding out about the dispute. If anyone has information on how Joseph can be contact-ed, please call 996-8482.

Search and rescue and RCMP are searching for 26-year-old Immaculate (Mackie) Basil near Fort St. James.

Last seen on Thurs-day, June 13, she was reported missing on June 17 when family had not heard from her.

The young woman may have been head-ing to a cabin in the Leo Creek area, and the search is currently

underway around the Leo Creek Road.

When Basil was last seen, she was wear-ing grey yoga pants, white shoes and a black hooded sweatshirt with a red maple leaf on the front.

Anyone with infor-mation on where Immaculate Basil may be should contact Fort St. James RCMP at 250-996-8269.

District makes � nal argumentRuth LloydCaledonia Courier

The District of Fort St. James and the Fort St. James Sustainability Group made their � nal oral argument on June 19.

Presented to the En-bridge Northern Gate-way Joint Review Panel by Brenda Gouglas, the lengthy argument by the District of Fort St. James made some spe-ci� c points in opposition to the proposed pipeline.

They raised concerns over answers given by Enbridge in the course of the review and pos-sible discrepancies in following what was laid out in Enbridge’s sub-mission in terms of land-owner consultation.

“This is a concern for Fort St. James area land-

owners, they have rights over their land, and those rights must be re-spected,” said Gouglas.

The District also dis-agreed with Enbridge’s decision to keep the pump station above Pit-ka Creek. In Enbridge’s � nal written submis-sion, they gave practi-cal reasons for keeping the pump station where it was, which the Dis-trict argues are putting � nancial considerations ahead of environmental ones.

The District also raised concerns over En-bridge’s speci� cations for pump stations, and brought up recent cita-tions by the National En-ergy Board which found Enbridge was operating a number of pump sta-tions without meeting some of the require-

ments for backup power.On the topic of so-

cial licence, the District chose to quote from some of the local resi-dents who responded to the public opinion survey on the pipeline which mayor and coun-cil conducted prior to taking a stand on the project.

Finally, Gouglas read out the District’s de-scription of how costly the process has been for the District of Fort St. James.

“It is not an easy thing for our industry-reliant community to speak up opposing a po-tential industry project, especially one which has achieved such national attention as the Northern Gateway,” said Gouglas.

However, they also spoke about bene� tting

from participating in the process as well.

“Our participation in this process has brought us closer to our neigh-bours of Nak’azdli First Nation and Tl’az’ten First Nation,” said Gouglas. “The solidarity we have built in opposi-tion to this project has been a step forward for us in building relation-ships and we are � nding ever increasing opportu-nities to collaborate with our First Nations.”

The Fort St. James Sustainability Group also raised concerns over landowner consul-tation and engagement.

“Consultation im-plies a two-way conver-sation. Engagement, in this case, seems to mean “here’s a map and a proj-ect brochure, call me if you have any questions,”

said Kerr.Kerr and Goug-

las raised a number of points also questioning Enbridge’s safety record and social licence.

“In light of what we have learned, we feel the perfect Canadian icon to liken the Project to, is the Canadian penny. Because, like the Cana-dian penny, we submit the Project will cost Ca-nadians more than it is worth,” said Gouglas in closing.

The panel will con-tinue hearing � nal oral arguments in Terrace and will begin their de-liberations after these are done.

The joint review pan-el must then submit their recommendations on ap-proving or not approving the project by December 13, 2013.

of June

Ruth LloydCaledonia Courier

Nechako Lakes MLA John Rustad has been appointed Minister of Aboriginal Rela-tions and Reconciliation.

While Rustad is just set-tling into his new role, he is looking forward to what it

holds, despite it not being a ministry he would have asked for.

"I'm very excited about it," said Rustad. "The more I have gotten to know about things that are happening in the min-istry, the more excited I am actually about the position - this is a great ministry."

Nearly halfway through the B.C. Gun Am-nesty, the Prince George RCMP are hoping more persons take advantage of this opportunity to get rid of unwanted guns to help make our commu-nity safer.

Two weeks into the 30-day provincial amnes-ty, the Prince George RCMP have received calls from 12 residents requesting an of� cer to attend and remove unwanted � rearms and weapons.

Of the 12 calls for service, 18 � rearms made up of 15 long guns and three hand guns have been relinquished by the owners. The types of � rearms surrendered are:

• .303 ri� es (4)• .22 ri� es (5)• 30-06 ri� e• 12 gauge shot gun (3)• 20 gauge shot gun• .410 shot gun• .22 revolvers (2)• .38 revolverOf those persons that turned over the guns,

eight were male and four were female. Two persons turned over their � rearms because the guns were very old and would not likely be used again. Two other persons turned in � rearms that belonged to their spouse that passed away.

Ammunition, magazines, holsters, a pellet gun, pellets and CO2 cartridges were also relin-quished.

From June 1st to June 30, 2013, the RCMP and municipal police forces throughout the prov-ince will be participating in a province wide gun amnesty.

To view the original May 30th, 2013 media release, go to www.princegeorge.rcmp.ca.

If residents of Prince George or the surround-ing area have unwanted � rearms, weapons or ammunition, this is the perfect opportunity to help make your home and our community a little bit safer.

If you would like to surrender unwanted � rearms, weapons or ammunition, please call (250)561-3300 and request an of� cer attend your residence to pick them up. Please do not bring them to the Detachment.

Walter StrongLakes District News

The results of the 2013 B.C. Lung Association report on air quality came as a sur-prise to some. Vanderhoof had the worst air quality - from the point of view of fine particu-late matter - in the province?

Who would have guessed that?

It appears that pockets of poor air are the norm across north-central B.C. When a person thinks of the north, he or she thinks of clean air, clean water, and everything that goes with those two ideas.

A person doesn’t neces-sarily think of the corridor between Prince George and Prince Rupert as becoming more and more of an indus-trial, resource energy corridor.

What carefully planned and positioned cutblocks and visual quality remainders (re-minders?) of what used to be thick forest on either side of the highway cannot hide is the fact that resource extraction throughout the region is show-ing no sign of slowing down.

If it were slowing down, we’d be looking at an econom-ic slowdown as well. If the recent election results can be

taken to mean anything at all, it is that the majority of residents up here don’t want that.

That doesn’t mean that the province has the social license to proceed with industrial de-velopment at all costs. Take three recent examples.

We saw that prior to the last election, when changes to the forest act were perceived to be moving along too hastily, the province had to back down and postpone the changes until further public consultation had taken place.

The province recently re-jected the Northern Gateway proposal - at least as it stands for the moment - largely be-cause it couldn’t possibly overlook the massive public resistance to the project.

The province also recently rejected the Morrison copper and gold mine proposed for the shore of Morrison Lake, north of Granisle. This was done at the last minute, and only following upon intense, non-governmental and grass-roots efforts by a small north-west fisheries institute to raise the alarm over potential im-pacts to area salmon fisheries.

The province is obviously willing to respond to public concern over large-scale proj-

ects that carry with them all of the dramatic imagery that comes with oil spills, poisoned water, and barren forests.

What about our air quality? When the spring air was so thick with dust that we could chew it, everybody noticed. Now that the dust has settled or blown away, we can move about under the illusion that everything is fine.

But is it? The fine particu-late matter that the B.C. Lung Association report talks about is not something that you nec-essarily smell or taste, but it does lace the air and works it way deep inside your lungs, especially as you’re breathing heavy while hiking, mountain biking, or paddling open wa-ters.

Certainly, we can’t shut down industry, and nobody is calling for that. But where chronic offenders are discov-ered, the message has to be sent that air quality is more important than profit.

It’s too bad that poor air quality doesn’t carry with it strong visuals. We can see a huge clearcut, and we notice when salmon don’t spawn. But what visuals go with air that could be slowly poison-ing us?

Air quality issues silent but realTom FletcherBlack Press

VICTORIA – After 34 NDP MLAs were sworn in to continue a stretch of opposition that will reach at least 16 years, leader Adrian Dix took a few questions about his future.

The party’s provincial council will meet June 21 to set the terms of reference for a review of the party’s dis-mal election performance, Dix told reporters. He repeat-ed that his performance won’t be spared, and ticked off some conventional wisdom about the NDP campaign.

Dix mentioned the alleged lack of “negative” ads, the local campaigns (read candidates), the decreasing reli-ability of polls and, when pressed, his surprise decision to come out against the proposed twinning of the Trans-Mountain oil pipeline.

Like last week’s hysteria over a tiny leak in that pipe-line, these are great sound bites for the short attention spans of the modern media. But they don’t explain much.

This all-powerful NDP provincial council is a case in point. A glimpse into its inner workings was provided by a summary of an NDP policy development workshop called “Imagine Our Future” that was leaked by the B.C. Liberals in the final days of the campaign.

The workshop took place in November 2010, coin-cidentally at the same provincial council meeting where the revolt against former leader Carole James tumbled into the open. While 13 caucus members were knifing their leader for reasons they still can’t or won’t articulate in public – a glaring problem in itself – the backroom policy brainstorm revealed a deeper malaise.

Among the “dream tree” notions put forward in the workshop was “free” post-secondary tuition and public transit, along with raising wages and lowering fees for daycare. This isn’t a dream tree, it’s a money tree.

Remember, this is the NDP’s ruling body, not a high school “social justice” class or an Occupy Vancouver squat.

Showing a glimmer of adult supervision, the work-shop table on “equitable tax policy” even identified the problem. Its first recommendation: “Increase our eco-nomic and financial literacy to gain credibility.”

The “public ownership” table really got radical. Scrap public-private partnerships, the basis of most gov-ernment construction today. “Nationalize” independent power projects, in the Venezuelan style of state seizure of private assets. And perhaps most incredibly, tear up the trade agreement between Saskatchewan, Alberta and B.C. that harmonizes transport truck regulations and so forth.

In the real world, the four western premiers met this week in Winnipeg. And the three-province project now called “New West Partnership” will continue to disman-tle archaic inter-provincial barriers.

Why would the NDP be secretly against that? Be-cause it’s also a “labour mobility” agreement.

This harkens back to a supposed golden age in Can-ada, when two corporate titans shared the beer business, producing identical bland lager from identical factories in identical stubby bottles. Inter-provincial trade in these stubbies was strictly forbidden, requiring each province to have a big unionized brewery to make uniformly bad beer for the proletariat.

This is the power of a monopoly union. And because of it, this was how governments tried to “create jobs.” It’s a bygone era to which many core NDP supporters stub-bornly cling. This explains the party’s revival of a “job protection commissioner” for forestry.

Which brings us to the proverbial root cause of the B.C. NDP’s woes. Its largest financial donor is the B.C. Government and Service Employees’ Union, which do-nated $1.4 million to the party in the past eight years, nos-ing out the Canadian Union of Public Employees and the Hospital Employees’ Union.

Former HEU and BCGEU presidents now sit in the NDP caucus, critics for health and “green” jobs respec-tively.

What ails the NDP? Plenty

A new program is aim-ing to enhance some local skills and reduce high turn-over in certain roles.

The local College of New Caledonia and Nak’azdli Band partnered up last fall for a program which would focus on em-ployed people, but ones in higher turnover positions.

Funded through the provincial government’s Aboriginal Training for Employment Program, the local project is an attempt to enhance the skills of working people to allow them to move up or provide incentive to stay with their employer.

“It was a new concept for me,” said Gloria Cath-erall, who is coordinating the project.

While she normally works with unemployed people to help give them the skills to get jobs, this one took those working for

Enhancing skills

the Nak’azdli businesses of Sana’aih Market and Tl’Oh Forest Products to build on existing skills as well as develop new ones.

The program started last fall, and began by as-sessing different workplace literacy skills like reading, numeracy and document use to see where the 25 participants were starting from.

By then working to

develop plans for each in-dividual to build on these skills, Catherall said the workers will hopefully see the bene� t of moving up in the organization or staying with their position to con-tinue to learn and succeed.

Eight people, four from Tl’Oh and four from Sana’aih, recently com-pleted a three-part Manage-ment Skills for Supervisors course and were awarded

certi� cates.While it can be dif� cult

for participants to coor-dinate schedules for pro-grams, Catherall said it can be worth it and she men-tioned one student who has decided since participating to complete his General Educational Development (GED) tests before apply-ing for the trade program he eventually wants to get into.

“This young man made some really good deci-sions,” said Catherall.

“The biggest challenge

I’m facing is getting them to understand the impor-tance of coming in to up-grade those essential skills

on their own time,” she said. “We have everything to support there that they need.”


Tour de North rolls byRuth LloydCaledonia Courier

While this year’s Tour de North Cops for Cancer bike ride won’t be stopping in Fort St. James, part of Fort St. James will still be rolling with it.

Constable Derek Rondeau is a constable here in Fort St. James who is saddling up to take on the 850 km road bike ride through north-central B.C. for his second time.

Back in 2009, Rondeau participated in the ride as well after his aunt passed away from cancer.

While not normally a road cyclist, Rondeau said the group ride was a great experience which opened his eyes.

“There was a lot of support for the ride,” he said. Just about everyone he met along the way seemed to know someone who has had cancer, and people would approach the riders on the trip and tell personal stories.

So for Rondeau, the ride was more about the peo-ple than the cycling, and he enjoyed the other riders as well, some of whom will be returning for this year’s ride.

“It was a lot of fun riding with a whole group of people,” he said.

Rondeau doesn’t even own a road bike himself, but he will be training two to three times a week on the bike he gets to use as part of the Cops for Cancer ride, doing around 40 km each ride to help prepare himself for the long tour.

Road cycling in Fort St. James is a bit harder than it was when he trained in 2009, when he was living in Fort St. John, according to Rondeau, who enjoyed the group rides in Fort St. John and the more bike-friendly roads.

He was also fortunate enough to get to do bike patrol for an entire summer when he was in Fort St. John.

“It was a really good gig, I really enjoyed it,” said Ron-deau.

But dirty or non-existent shoulders and less options will not deter him from his training, which is good, because cycling an average of 100 km a day requires a little bit of preparation if you’re not going to be left behind by the group.

The route in 2009 was from Prince George to Prince Rupert, and now the route alternates each year, between that route and a route which goes from Dawson Creek to Williams Lake, travelling north to south.

This year, the hardest day he expects to be the day be-

tween Hudson’s Hope and Chetwynd, which is a 150 km day.

But Rondeau, while not usually a cyclist, probably knows what he’s getting into and he even went back last year as an alumni for one day, riding from Vanderhoof to Fort St. James and then to Fraser Lake, when the ride came to the area.

Rondeau will also be organizing the annual fundraiser dinner at the North Arm Pub (formerly Stone’s Pub) which he is hoping will include some brave men to offer up their heads of hair, moustaches or even a strip of leg hair to help raise money for the cause.

The dinners were previously organized by Constable Greg Pichler, who passed away last year, but Rondeau will carry on the tradition this September 12.

The pub hosts the steak night and half of each ticket bought goes towards paediatric cancer research and pro-grams.

Constable Derek Rondeau, stationed in Fort St. James, will be riding the Cops for Cancer Tour de North this fall from Fort St. John to Williams Lake.

We are completely confi dent that Gateway can be designed, constructed and operated in a safe and responsible manner—fi rst and foremost. Flowing from this, there are the enor-mous benefi ts in terms of jobs and dollars to support schools, hospitals and social programs that defi ne this country and this province.

SETTING THE RECORD STRAIGHT

The Northern Gateway Project Joint Review Panel (JRP) deadline for Final Argument has come and gone, and we believe we made the best case for an energy pipeline application ever in Canada’s history.

Critical questions, affi rmative answers.It all boils down to two ques-tions the JRP must address in their report to the Governor-in-Council. One is whether Gateway is in the Canadian public interest, and the second

After a decade of careful planning, our application is now before the regulatory authorities. But that doesn’t mean we are fi nished in making the case for Northern Gateway to British Columbians and all Canadians.

is the Project’s likelihood of causing signifi cant adverse environmental impacts. The answers are clear. Gateway is urgently needed, meets all requirements for approval under the National Energy Board Act and is defi nitely in Canada’s interest. Given the commitments and safety measures we have proposed, the Project is not likely to cause signifi cant adverse eff ects on the environment.

Backed by independent experts in their fi elds.Northern Gateway’s written and oral JPR evidence was prepared and presented by many of Canada’s and the world’s foremost experts on the related subjects. Each had thorough knowledge of the Project and the relevant scientifi c and engineering studies completed in support of the Project. Their evidence in favour of Gateway was comprehensive, conclusive and compelling.

Unprecedented in scope, detail and potential.Our application was defended by answering thousands of Infor-mation Requests and presenting a series of nine witness panels. Together with our partners, we will have spent approximately $500 million on this Project, before receiving approval, including environmental assessments, traditional land use studies, detailed engineering and consultation with commu-nities and First Nations—all over the course of a decade.

Our application de-tails the enormous value of connecting Canadian resources to markets that need those resources for their own economic and social develop-ment.

It was a family-friendly atmosphere for the Adult Education Centre gradua-tion ceremony on June 19 in the Goodwin Building.

Graduates received their diplomas and some parting words from edu-cators before celebrating with some cake.

Sixteen graduates had worked to complete their graduation requirements, and they were recognized for the efforts they put in, despite the obstacles they may have had to over-come being adult students, such as raising a family or working.

“You have overcome these things and you have done this great thing - to graduate,” said Dave Stainton.

“It’s not how many hurdles are placed before

us but how many times we overcome those hurdles,” said Ken Young, principal of FSJSS.

“Dropping out of high school was the easy part of your journey,” said Del� na Snively to the stu-dents, commending them for their hard work in coming back to complete their education. “I’m so proud of you.”

Since the adult educa-tion program began 23 years ago, the program has helped 270 adults graduate.

Vernon Vipers sign SaharchukGraeme Cor-bett Black Press

Matty Saha-rchuk has had an eye on the Ver-non Vipers ever since he moved down from Fort St. James to play hockey with the Pursuit of Excel-lence Academy in Kelowna in 2010.

It turns out the Vipers were also keeping tabs on Saha-rchuk over the past season, watching him enjoy a break-out year with the North Okanagan Junior B Knights.

Vernon head coach/GM Jason Williamson signed the 18-year-old forward this week for the coming BCHL season.

Williamson also plucked defenceman Ken-ny Citron, also a 1995-born player, from the Team Comcast Under 18 program that com-petes in the Atlantic Youth Hockey League.

Saharchuk was a beast for North Okanagan last season. Strong on the puck and always will-ing to drive to the net, the 6-foot-2, 185-pound

forward recorded 32 goals and 28 assists in 50 games.

He added 6-9-15 in 13 playoff games in helping the Knights reach their � rst-ever KIJHL � nal. He also played two BCHL games as a call-up with the Salmon Arm Silver-Backs.

Regarding his stellar sea-son, Saharchuk said: “My coaches (Kris Mallette and Shawn Webb) really supported me and gave me the ice time I needed to get my con� dence to that next level.

“I was just � nishing my plays and doing all the little things

right that helped me in my sea-son.”

Williamson said Saharchuk’s skill set, combined with his ea-gerness to join the club, made it a straightforward decision to sign him.

“He reached out and wanted to be a Viper even before we got on to him. In that kind of situa-tion, that’s when you get the best

out of a player.“By the end of the year he was probably

North OK’s most dangerous player.”Saharchuk said the Knights’ journey to the

KIJHL � nal will help him prepare for next season as Vernon hosts the RBC Cup national championships in 2014.

“I had never been in playoffs before with a junior team,” said Saharchuk, who was listed by the WHL Everett

Silvertips. “It really shows you what it takes to last that long and how you need to prepare yourself every day.”

Viper main camp begins Monday, Aug. 19.

Some things are just better together.
