Local First Nations and supporters gathered in the parking lot of the College of New Caledonia in support of Theresa Spence’s hunger strike. The Idle No More movement calls for solidarity between First Nations and none First Nations to protect the nations waterways and environment.
Walter Strong Ontario Attawapiskat First Nation Chief Theresa Spence has been on a hunger strike since Dec. 11, 2012. She is holding her strike

GATEWAY perspectives
Kitimat: A safe option There’s no mistaking the importance of Kitimat, B.C., to the Gateway project. It’s where the pipeline ends, and it’s where marine operations begin. I’d like to set the record straight on why we chose Kitimat, at the head of the Douglas Channel, as the site for Gateway’s marine terminal. The answer took thousands of hours of research, planning, engineering, environmental science, oceanography consultation, weather monitoring, and simulation. But the simple reason is . . . safety, all the way. The Douglas Channel is one of the widest and deepest inland waterways on North America’s west coast. Government research had already determined Kitimat to be among the safest ports in B.C., and about 1,500 tankers carrying petrochemicals have docked safely at Kitimat over the past quarter-century.

Local drummers rally in support of the Idle No More demonstration. ...From page 1 federal legislation defining the relationship between First Nations and the rest of Canada. But the Idle No More movement also calls for First Nations and none First Nations to stand together in opposition to resource development that is seen to harm the environment.
Deanna Brown was the organizer of the Idle No More rally in Burns Lake at the campus of the College of New Caledonia. She addressed the crowd gathered on a cold Dec. 22, by calling attention to the unity that exists between First Nations concerns and the concerns of various green movements that chal-
lenge, among other things, the construction of the proposed Northern Gateway Enbridge pipeline. “This event will honour the ways of our ancestors as we call on them to help us bring attention to the injustice Indigenous peoples, land and waters are encountering through the unilateral imposition of
legislative policies that blatantly disregard our Natural Laws and the sacred Treaty relationship,” said Brown. Burns Lake Band Councillor Ron Charlie was also on hand. “First Nations are not for sale,” he said. About 50 protesters and supporters turned out for the rally.
Strategically speaking, Kitimat provides the lowest environmental risk for all aspects of Gateway operations. It offers a safer endpoint for the pipeline route, from a geotechnical perspective. The marine terminal at Kitimat also provides safe approaches for tanker traffic — with a suitable turning basin in Kitimat Arm, and natural deep-water berths that are sheltered from open-water wave conditions.
Join the conversation at
At its very narrowest, the Douglas Channel is 1.4 kilometres wide — three times wider than Transport Canada’s recommended width for two-way tanker traffic. Water depths in the marine channels are up to several hundred metres. As an added measure, full simulations of vessel traffic in the Douglas Channel were carried out at a world-leading facility in Denmark. It tested the largest proposed vessels in environmental conditions that tankers would experience in the marine channels. The result was a thumbs-up on the shipping route, endorsed by both government departments and the British Columbia Coast Pilots. Why Kitimat? Why the Douglas Channel? It’s the safe option for Gateway.

Welcome to 2013 Are you charging into the new year with a list of resolutions and the resolve to stay on top of them and change your life forever, or at least for the days you have left? Another new calendar year actually means one year fewer for you to enjoy. The clock is running out. Despite preChristmas prognostications that the world would end in a dramatic finale, it doesn’t look like the universe intends to go out anytime soon. Did anyone else feel a little tug of selfindulgent hope that something transformative and fantastic would happen to the world right in the middle of our own relatively insignificant lives? Maybe the impulse to see the world as if it were in the final moments of its history stems from some kind of collective but unconscious will to be important. Who doesn’t want to be there at a key moment in history? Who doesn’t want to be at the centre of it all? Was your New Year’s Eve celebration a little like that? Drink enough booze in a party atmosphere and everybody finds that brief moment of euphoria where it seems that you’re at the heart of something perfect. Ringing in the new year like that sets us up for a bit of a fall though, doesn’t it? We woke up in the morning and everything was pretty much the same on Jan. 1, 2013 as it was on Dec. 31, 2012. A changed date on a calendar can’t mean transformative change in a person because change doesn’t come from outside of ourselves. External changes in circumstances are

temporary, meaningless events unless accompanied by something coming from inside a person. If you look at it that way, like the Christmas Grinch’s cousin, the New Year’s Eve Troll, it seems like we expect a lot of a date change. But maybe you’ll make it work for you this year. If you made some resolution to change your life in a transformative way, I wish you all the best. Commit to a hike in the forest at least once every couple of weeks. Help others; read a book; learn to listen to your inner voice. Maybe reconnect with old friends or distant family. Start writing a journal. Paint a picture. Whatever you do to mark the start of another new year, keep it simple and keep it personal. Big, dramatic, lights-in-the-sky changes just aren’t that realistic. A turn of the calendar page should tell you that much. Counting on big changes is like waiting for the end of the world. The world is constantly ending all around you (It’s called, ‘getting older’), so all that bother is just a waste of time. Forget about the big changes that tend to be too impersonal to be motivational anyway. Focus on the little things. Collectively, we’re one year past where we were this time last year. Has the past year been what you expected it to be? If not, what are you going to do to make the 2013 something a little closer to whatever you have in mind for yourself?

The B.C. government has agreed to a $20 million compensation deal that will see Shell Canada give up a disputed coalbed gas tenure in the remote Klappan region of northwest B.C. Shell’s exploration of 4,000 square kilometres at the headwaters of the Skeena, Nass and Stikine Rivers has been opposed by the Tahltan Nation since the tenure was awarded by the province in 2004. The company drilled three exploration wells in the first year, which it now intends to decommission as it leaves the area. The B.C. government has agreed to provide Shell $20 million in gas royalty credits to compensate for its investment in the Klappan region. That is to be put towards a water recycling project that Shell is building to supply hydraulic fracturing operations on its shale gas developments in the Peace River region of northeast B.C. Coalbed gas extraction has additional hazards because of salt-contaminated water that often surfaces with natural gas when coal deposits are drilled. Hydraulic fracturing can be used in coalbed development, but it is more extensively used in drilling deeper shale formations to extract natural gas. “The Klappan is one of the most sacred and important areas for our people,” said Annita McPhee, president of the Tahltan Central Council. “It is a place of cultural, spiritual, historic and social importance. Our people do not want to see it developed, and we look forward to working with British Columbia on achieving that goal.” McPhee added that the Tahltan have received offers of support from local, provincial, national and international organizations in their opposition to the development. Shell Canada president Lorraine Mitchelmore said the company’s shale gas tenures in the northeastern B.C. offer “better commercial and geological prospects,” and sustainable water use is important to that development. Energy Minister Rich Coleman said shale deposits offer much greater gas volumes, in regions where roads and other infrastructure already exist. Aboriginal Relations Minister Ida Chong said the government is looking forward to further “government-to-government” talks with the Tahltan over resource development in their entire traditional territory. Doug Donaldson, NDP MLA for Stikine, said protests against coalbed gas drilling in the Klappan are similar to those directed against the Enbridge Northern Gateway oil pipeline proposal. “People in the northwest understand the importance of resource industries, but they also understand that it’s impossible to put a price tag on a clean environment,” Donaldson said.

"The hall has been open since 9 p.m. last night and we have grief councillors on hand. Our members are also helping each other get through this sad time," Chief Adam said.

Rio Tinto Alcan returns Cheslatta Carrier Nation's traditional territory Published: February 08, 2012 Last Monday, Rio Tinto Alcan officially completed the transfer of approximately 11,000 acres of land, with an assessed value of $1.2 million, to the Cheslatta Carrier Nation. The land transfer was made official in a ceremony held at the Grassy Plains Community Hall. During the ceremony, Cheslatta member, Abel Peters, aged 89, handed over six vintage Canadian dollar bills to Paul Henning vice president of strategic projects for Rio Tinto Alcan, as full payment for the land. According to Cheslatta Carrier Nation’s Chief Richard
Peters, the terms of the 2012 land transaction are much more favourable now, than 60 years ago when, in 1952, 29 year old Abel Peters translated the terms of surrender of the land to the Cheslatta people. Former Cheslatta Carrier Nation Chief Corrina Leween said, “For many years we
struggled to keep the land issue alive and on the table. The spirit of my ancestors and the sorrow and grief that they carried all of their lives, inspired us to never give up on their dream, to once again own our homelands outright. Today we shed tears of pride and joy.”

Snowshoeing in the Lakes District
I am sure that you rang in the New Year with many resolutions and some expectations. As most people begin the year determined to better their health, those of us at Burns Lake Community Forest have a suggestion. Snowshoeing. It is a low impact exercise that allows you to take advantage of the many trails available in the Lakes District. It is easy and requires no training. You can use poles to help stabilize you while walking. Snowshoes themselves have evolved over the years. You can now buy snowshoes that are lightweight and pink or blue or whatever colour preference you have. Some snowshoes are even designed for running. So borrow, buy or beg a pair, slip on your winter boots and get hiking winter style. Oh, and remember if you are buying a pair, try shopping locally.

Local trainer wants to help people
Fitness and nutrition “I want to help people who want to help themselves,” Cole Clifford said of his approach to personal training. He doesn’t have much patience for those who expect to have their motivation given to them. Clifford knows about the motivation it takes to perform at the limit of one’s physical ability. A former rowing coach, he continues to compete in masters rowing events and most recently took second place with his eightman crew at a British Masters rowing regatta. Clifford previously owned a gym in Burns Lake and at the time wrote a book to help his gym clients under-
Lakes District News
stand the dietary principles that need to accompany any workout regime. He has since updated and re-released the book in a new edition, “Changing You: your guide to a slimmer, stronger body”. Judy Sheldrick, a registered nurse in Burns Lake, had been training under the guidance of Clifford for a couple of weeks when she took a few moments to sit down and describe her experience with Clifford. “Fitness isn’t a drivethrough experience; it’s not easy,” she said in describing the challenging routine that Clifford expects of her and anyone he trains. “I work 12 hour shifts, and fit in exercise four times a week,” she said. Her goal with training under Clifford’s guidance is to eventually be comfortable on her own
in gym, with the knowledge and experience to handle the weights and fitness machines safely and effectively. But exercise without good nutrition is a sabotaged effort that will have discouraging results Clifford explained. “Hard work with no results sucks,” he said. “Nutritional intake is at least 50 per cent of the equation,” Clifford said. “Only when you apply yourself equally to both your training and the what, when and how much you eat, that you will ever have the satisfaction that comes with achieving your goals.” Those goals aren’t necessarily about looking good in front of the mirror or fitting into smaller dress or pants size. “Vanity shouldn’t be the goal. You can be overweight but vital,” he said. “What good is a skinny body that isn’t functional?” Sheldrick shares Clifford’s emphasis on the practical side of being fit and healthy. For her it all comes down to a simple, practical question. “Do you want to be able to get out of bed yourself or do you want a nurse to help you?” she asked. “You can have an active and disease-free life,” Clifford explains. “My lofty goal is to teach as many people as possible how to do this.” Clifford’s book is available in hardcopy and as an e-book download at coleclifford.com

Apple’s map app for the iOS has been under a lot of heat over the last few months, and apparently so are a few of the people who’ve been trying to use it. It seems that last weekend a group of six motorists became stranded in Australia’s Murrey Sunset National Park, an area where it is not uncommon to see scorching temperatures of 46 degrees Celsius. The motorists were in fact trying to reach the inland city of Mildura, but the app steered them nearly 70 kilometers off course into a scathingly hot National Park, with no nearby water supply. The motorists were rescued by local police officers, who are now warning people to use other means of navigating until the problems with the app have been rectified. Apple created quite an uproar in September when it decided not to include Google Maps in iOS 6, forcing people to use Apple’s own app. The gaffe has already lead to the firing of two senior members of Apple’s software development staff, but months later the problem still has yet to be resolved.

PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20 Words can be interpreted in many different ways, Pisces. Choose what you say wisely so you don’t give anyone the wrong impression.
CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 Sarcasm is not the right approach this week, Cancer. Focus on being amiable to all of the people you interact with the next few days and reap the rewards. LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 Secrets have a funny way of catching up with you, Leo. Although it can be hard to be honest, upcoming situations will work out much more easily if you are. VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 You have no reason to question your confidence this week, Virgo. Give yourself a pep talk to make it through a sticky situation, and things will turn out alright. LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23 You are coasting on a high of good fortune, Libra. Don’t worry, it isn’t going to slow down anytime soon. Enjoy all of the opportunities that come your way. SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22 It takes more than just good ideas to find success, Scorpio. There is also a lot of follow-through and legwork that goes into every scenario. Start working through the particulars. SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21 You won’t be able to rest until you solve a problem that has been bugging you, Sagittarius. But the solution won’t immediately present itself.
