Mine faces protest
B.C. resource sectors growing fast
Burns Lake area Wet’suwet’en First Nation cannot abide lack of reciprocity
Although gas and oil pipelines debates dominate the news with headline-grabbing radical rhetoric, they are a fraction of the total resource development planned for Northern B.C.
WALTER STRONG On May 1, 2013, the Wet’suwet’en First Nation issued a stop-work order against Huckleberry Mines Ltd. and their open-pit copper/molybdenum mine. The Wet’suwet’en First Nation (formerly Broman Lake Indian Band) is located just west of Burns Lake The Huckleberry Mine, located 123 kms southwest of Houston B.C., is on traditional Wet’suwet’en territories. Hydro-power lines to service the project, as well as industrial use roads, run through a Wet’suwet’en reserve. “We have a clear mandate from our membership to stop this project until our concerns are addressed,” Ogen said. “We have been in negotiations for more than a year and Huckleberry Mines does not wish to conclude agreements that fairly and reasonably address Wet’suwet’en asserted aboriginal rights, title, community interests and concerns.” Primary among those concerns are employment, training and economic benefits. While 70 new jobs were created in the recent mine expansion, Ogen said that based on records kept by their education and training officer, not one of those jobs is from their band membership. Currently, not one member of the Wet’suwet’en First Nation works at Huckleberry Mines. Chief Ogen recognizes that the company works with other First Nations in the area, but she points out that their relationship with the Wet’suwet’en is unique. “We have a road that runs through our reserve - Felix George Indian Re...see MINE PROTEST ▼ P3

Hart Comfor exec named Restructuring to continue this summer takes open seat WALTER STRONG
Candidate withdraws; council has Hart
The new Burns Lake Community Forest (BLCF) executive was selected at the last Comfor Management Services Ltd. (CMSL) board meeting on April 25, 2013. Wesley Sam was named president, with Jim McCormack and Rosanne Murray named vice president and secretary, respectively. The full board is Susan Schienbein, representing the Village of Burns Lake, Jim Mc-
Cormack and Rosanne Murray, representing the public, and Wesley Sam, Jeff Brown, and Robert Dennis, representing three First Nations (Burns Lake Band, Office of the Wet’suwet’en, and Wet’suwet’en First Nation). Each board position carries with it a monthly honorarium of $250. The president receives and additional $250 per month. The one-year terms are advertised annually, with First Nations and the Village of Burns Lake taking
four of the six available seats, and two board positions reserved for members of the public. Ron Zayac, current interim CMSL manager, said that he expects final decisions regarding restructuring to be completed this summer with the transition to a new general manager. “The proposed changes will realistically take six to 12 months to implement,” said Zayac. “In the meantime, we will continue to be good stewards of the forest license.”

OUTDOOR STORE FOR THE LAKES The weather couldn’t have been more summer-like for the grand opening of Woods N’Water Sports and Recreation, Burns Lake’s new outdoor gear store. Above, owners Blain and Daniel Cunningham stand beside some of the canoes and kayaks already in stock. Currently, the store is stocked with fishing, archery, camping, canoeing and paddling equipment. Soon, they’ll stock a full range of hunting rifles and ammunition. They are taking a list of what kind of ammo they should stock. Local artisans also have work on display, including local custom knife maker, Don Stevenson. WALTER STRONG PHOTO
One of the two candidates for the Village of Burns Lake by-election has withdrawn his name from the ballot. Michael Riis-Christiansen’s withdrawl means Wes Hart will become village councillor by acclamation. Hart will be formally received in his new position at the next regularly scheduled meeting of Village of Burns Lake council, on May 14, 2013. The seat became open and a by-election triggered with the resignation of former councillor Quinten Beach citing time constraints.

Lack of consultation during Huckleberry expansion now an issue MINE PROTEST from ▼ P1 serve #7 - and we have powerlines running through as well,” she said. “We’re asking for fair and reasonable compensation for that, but they’re not willing to budge any further for us.” The original agreement made in 1997 did not include the current expansion of the mine. According to Ogen, the mine expansion was approved without a formal renegotiation of the terms of the 1997 agreement. At the time, the Wet’suwet’en did not protest the mine expansion on the good faith assumption that Huckleberry Mines Ltd. would be prepared to renegotiate the old terms in light of the proposed expansion. That never happened. “They didn’t consult with us in regard to the expansion,” Ogen said. Chief Ogen describes the situation
as one where a previous agreement has come to an end without a new one to replace it. Shortly after the release of the stop work order, Ogen made comments circulating in various media concerning the possibility that the Wet’suwet’en would dismantle power lines running through their reserve if a new agreement couldn’t be reached with Huckleberry Mines Ltd. “If you have an agreement for power lines and roads to go through your backyard, and that agreement ends, you’re going to ask them to pick up their stuff and go,” Ogen said. “They are, in fact, trespassing.” This is not the first time that the Wet’suwet’en First Nation has threatened to disrupt the mine’s operations if their concerns were not dealt with.

Reserve which industrial mine traffic passes through on its way to the Huckleberry Mine. The action at the time was not intended to seriously disrupt mining activity. The blockade only detained vehicles momentarily to draw attention to the Wet’suwet’en’s dissatisfaction with the 1997 agreement regarding right-of-way through their reserve and traditional territories. Shortly afterwards, representatives of the company sat down to discuss the situation, but Ogen described the result of that meeting as fruitless. “We’re not being heard,” she said. “We’re not being listened to.” “We’re done talking.” For now, Ogen is referring calls from the ownership of Huckleberry Mines Ltd. to her band’s lawyers who are handling further negotiations. Huckleberry Mines Ltd. was not available for comment at press time.

NDP to voters: trust us When Adrian Dix took over as B.C. NDP leader two years ago, he struggled to communicate, especially in the sound bites of radio and TV. There was a running joke in the legislature press gallery: It didn’t matter what question you asked him, you got a six-minute answer that ended with the evils of log exports. Even more than under Carole James, the NDP railed against log exports. “B.C. logs for B.C. jobs” became one of Dix’s favourite slogans. As the election approached, another Dixism was heard daily: “Say what you’re going to do, say how you’re going to pay for it.” So it was a surprise a few weeks ago when the NDP signaled it would essentially not offer a policy on log exports. They’re going to meet with “stakeholders” and come up with a plan after they get a majority government. This is exactly the same non-policy the NDP had in 2009. They don’t have an answer to the industry’s point that the high price gained by premium logs in foreign markets is what keeps many loggers working, and subsidizes the harvest of other logs for B.C. coastal mills. Another thing the NDP doesn’t like is private power development. This issue featured prominently in the NDP leadership contest two years ago. Leadership contender Mike Farnworth told the party faithful he would study independent power purchase contracts, and if he found that they are not in the public interest, he would “mend them or end them.” Another leadership hopeful, energy critic John Horgan, allowed that he would “break” contracts if necessary. By this spring, Dix had a new non-position on power purchase contracts. He will “assess them and adBURNS LAKE

dress them.” The printed platform promises a review “within the limits of existing contracts.” Either they plan to risk a costly legal battle, or they’re just paying lip service. All you have to do to find out is elect them. Labour code changes are another blank slate. A memo from the B.C. Federation of Labour executive to members last year described how they were working closely with the NDP to rewrite B.C. labour law. The NDP election platform punts this issue until after the election as well, promising an independent expert panel to decide on issues like whether to end secret-ballot votes for union certification. This isn’t just a bad idea, it’s a 30-year-old bad idea. It’s based on the destructive old notion that employers are the enemy of workers, and only a union can protect them. The long decline of union membership in the private sector isn’t caused by employer bullying or secret-ballot votes that protect employees’ freedom of choice. The cause is global competition. The only protection workers have from that is their own efficiency. Balancing the budget? An NDP government will strive to do that over “the business cycle,” says finance critic Bruce Ralston. Old-timers might remember this one. It’s taken from the NDP’s 1991 election platform. Yes, 22 years ago there was a widespread belief in a predictable four-year cycle of commodity prices and other economic determinants. Whatever was left of that dusty, faded picture was erased with the financial collapse of 2008. If you still believe in a predictable “business cycle,” you may be willing to accept that an NDP-led B.C. will become the first jurisdiction in human history to eliminate poverty, by setting annual targets and paying out borrowed money to low-income parents. On ferries, fracking, union contracts, capital construction and other weighty matters, the NDP’s answer is the same: trust us.

CMCA AUDITED
I’m concerned that many British Columbians are more focused on “change” for the sake of change rather than electing the party most likely to foster job creation and financial stability. Our province’s resource endowment has always been a mainstay of both jobs and the generation of revenues needed to fund social programs. From what I have seen and heard, an NDP government would rev-up spending while stymieing resource development through endless environmental reviews and or by just saying “no”, driving investment to other provinces and other countries. We need new mines and gas fields, pipelines, refineries, ports and processing plants to replace jobs lost by tech change and by events like the pine beetle catastrophe Economic development and the protection of the environment are not mutually exclusive. Yes, we must be good stewards of our beautiful province, but we do have the technology to move the economy forward in an environmentally responsible manner. Saying no to new projects will mean job losses for currently employed and no opportunity for young people looking to join the work force. We also need to focus on balancing the provincial budget, rather than taking money away from social programs to fund rising interest costs. Forty years of experience in business has taught me that too much debt is crippling. It scares me that the NDP have rolled out billions of dollars in new spending during this campaign, and their “every dollar is accounted for” rhetoric just isn’t credible because their anti-development attitude will reduce revenue at the same time as spending rises. There is truth to the adage, “Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it”. The NDP came to power in 1991 and governed the rest of that decade. Investment dried up and economic growth trailed the rest of Canada. A low point came when the Edmonton Chamber of Commerce thanked the BC government for driving growth investment in Alberta. Glenn Clark’s 1996-1999 tenure was arguably the most disastrous for BC and with Adrian Dix, Premier Clark’s former Chief of staff leading the province, I’d be very worried about history repeating itself. It took many years for the Liberals to repair the damage. During their time in government, North America suffered through a major recession and yet we now have a triple-A credit rating, higher than the US government, allowing BC taxpayers the lowest possible interest rates Have the Liberals done everything right? Certainly not. The introduction of the HST by the Campbell government was badly handled. There have been other gaffes and ill thought out policies. And while there is a natural inclination for people to vote to change long governing parties, it’s important not to let the NDP sleepwalk to victory without thinking about which party is likely to create jobs and not burden today’s young people with a mountain of debt. I’m not asking that you agree with me, only that you think through the full consequences of your choice carefully. And then get out and vote on May 14.

Although gas and oil pipelines debates dominate the news with headline-grabbing radical rhetoric, they are a fraction of the total resource development planned for Northern B.C.

NOTICE OF SCHOOL BOARD MEETINGS for May & June 2013 Illustration submitted
This map shows some of the current and planned mine and natural resource extraction projects planned for Northern B.C. seven per cent over the previous year. Despite high salaries, it is a workforce facing labour shortages. In B.C., the mining sector alone expects to require an additional 16,770 workers within the next 10 years. Those workers will have to be found in competition with the oil
and gas sectors in the same labour pool and facing the same labour shortages. According to the Environmental Assessment Office (EAO), in the past 10 years 40 mining projects, representing almost $12.5 billion in investment, have come under envi-
ronmental assessment for possible approval. Most of those projects remain in pre-application stage, but 10 have already received the environmental green light. Among those close to the Lakes District are the Blackwater Gold project and the Mount Milligan mine
expansion. Energy projects, which include not only natural gas and oil exploration, but hydroelectric and wind power projects, account for 63 additional projects submitted for review to the EAO in the past 10 years. Those projects ...see MINES t P9

Rustad works for us in Nechako-Lakes
Editor: With the upcoming Provincial Election on May 14, 2013, I would like to express my concern about low voter turnout predicted by the BC Federation of Labour. This means the result of the election could be decided by a minority. Please take the time to vote so that the voice of the majority is heard through our democracy. I worked at Lakeland Mills for 31 years and 8 years as an elected staff representative for the Steelworkers Local1-424. I know the importance of a sustainable forest industry for my kids and grand kids to support their families as we were able to do. I personally have been a NDP member for a lot of years until recently when I quit the party membership as I couldn't support the candidate they decided to run in Nechako-Lakes. I am supporting John Rustad in this riding as he makes himself available, returns phone calls and will commit
to performing duties as MLA for all constituents. I know John Rustad will work hard, is passionate about his beliefs, is solution oriented and shows results in the communities. John is very dedicated to serving the needs of all constituents in the Nechako Lakes riding. To the disenchanted BC Liberal voters that will not vote NDP but instead choose to vote for a third party, this is part of the NDP strategy to split the vote to enable a victory for the NDP. Please take the time to attend the All Candidate Forums and listen to the Candidates and their stance on the issues that affect us. Please make your decision based on WHO is the best person for the position of MLA and WHO will work the hardest for us in the Nechako Lakes riding.

How times have changed in the Lakes District
Sad news It’s always very sad to have to report the passing of another one of our Southside pioneer families, Glen Wiley, long time resident of the Uncha district. Glen was born on Mar. 12, 1928 and passed away in Kamloops on Apr. 24 of this year. Glen spent his growing up years on the Southside. I got to know the family very well as the family came from a town in Alberta, very close to where we came from. Glen was a very nice guy and I got to know him very well. Thanks to Marion Mummery (Keefe) who phoned me with this news this morning. Lots of the old-timers from the Southside will remember
the Wiley family. Sunday singing Thank you very much to the Grassy Plains church singers who came to the Tweedsmuir House on Sunday afternoon. We all joined in the singing of all the old hymns that we all were brought up with. Thanks again. Humming Birds Lots of folks report having had humming birds back here. They are looking for food. It seems too early for me to see them looking for flowers as there is not many flowers out yet. Back to beans Last week I mentioned a person had seen a Sandhill Crane going over. My dad had a story about cranes. One spring now years ago, dad said they were short of fresh meat so he shot a Sandhill Crane. It was too big for their oven so they cut off its legs and stuffed the bird into the oven and cooked it all day. It had a nice smell as it cooked and they looked forward to a nice meal. They were in for a surprise, it was so tough that no knife could
cut it, so they boiled it and it was still too tough, so it turned out a waste of time. The dogs got it and they even had a hard time to eat it. So no more cranes for them, ever. So it was back to beans once more. In those old homesteading days as dad said grub was hard to come by. When the ducks came into the Eyehill Creek they ate ducks. He said they ate so many ducks that when spring was over they thought they would either quack or fly. Which came first. Our dad told a story about his neighbour he went to visit and he had a bag hanging from the ceiling in his shack. Dad asked him what was in the sack and he said “Beans and I hope to heaven I never have to eat beans again.” 30 year old mare This will interest all the horseman reading my column. My old cowboy friend back on the prairie, Kia Rolin, got a call from his neighbour to come out to his place as he just had his 30 year old mare drop a colt. This is unusual, it should go in the horse-
man’s book of records. The mare is in terrible shape, she is so thin and so is the colt. They are both standing. I told Kia to tell his friend to get a bag of dairy ration, I have saved two horses lives with this special feed. Two years ago this same mare lost twins. The one thing going for the mare is her teeth are in good shape so chances are they may save the pair. I’m keeping in touch. More sad news Glen Stewart and Laurie Neave has some sad news yesterday with the passing of their father Dennis Stewart in Kamloops. He was such a fine man and a good father but he has left us. His quality of life was gone. He leaves a very loving family and he will be missed a great deal. Dennis spent the greater part of his life in Kamloops as a railroad man and then retired to manage his farm until his passing. Late spring It sure looks like it’s going to be late spring. Next week will be May and as the old saying goes ‘April
showers bring May flowers.’ Instead of showers we got snow. Some years by the Mayday picnic the trees were in leaf. Let’s hope they catch up this year. I well remember one Mayday picnic when we had a drop of six inches of snow and lots of our birds died. Mark Twain, one of the American writers, had a quotation in one of his stories “Everyone talks about the weather but nobody does anything about it.” Maybe a good thing we can’t as we just might mess it up too. Times have changed As I think back and think of the wonderful years of my life that our family spent in the Lakes District it’s hard to believe it’s over 70. All the changes that have come about, some good and maybe some not so good. Our small communities that we used to have are now gone. Little country stores with a gas pump and a post office. The good roads were few and far between so these little stores and post offices were more or less a Godsend to the rural residents. During those years
lots of folks were still using horses. Andy Anderson had the mail run from Burns Lake to Francois Lake. He hauled all the mail to our office, Colleymount, Clemretta, Noralee and for a short while Nadina. It closed up just after we came here. Everett Hickey had that run once a week on Saturday’s. Norman Schreiber hauled the mail to all the post offices on the Southside. There were 10 offices. The mail truck went from Southbank to Wistaria. Most all the farmers were milking cows and shipping cream to the station and sent on its way. Norman and his wife had a lovely big store at Ootsa Lake, of course it was flooded out. I have the names of all the postmasters that were on the Southside. It’s very interesting to see these names. If anyone would like them please let me know and I’ll put them in the paper. During the winter months when the lake was freezing over and ice was safe, Norman brought a big sleigh over with the incoming and outgoing mail. He had a big dog
that he used to pull the sleigh. I still have some pictures of the outfit. The motto was the mail must go through and it did. Most all of these ten post offices had a little store along with the office. One of the main reasons I’m getting together some of this old stuff is for a younger generation just to see what their grandparents went through to keep food on the table and how they lived. Goodbye friend Just had Johnny Johnson in for a visit. We were both very sorry to hear of the passing of Doris Louisa Carleton. A very good friend of ours. She taught school in Saskatchewan in 1939. Then taught school at Noralee from 1951 - 1957, then onto Burns Lake in 1958. She taught Johnny Johnson grade five for three years. She passed away Apr. 24. Doris was 97 years old. Doris was very well thought of by everyone who met her. Take care, have a safe week, always remember God loves you and so do I.

Log exports hotly contested
Liberals and NDP agree that Asia is key TOM FLETCHER The B.C. Liberals and NDP agree on one thing when it comes to B.C.'s vast forest resource: marketing B.C. wood to Asian markets remains a high priority. Their bitterest disagreement is over log exports, although neither party offers a clear strategy as the May 14 election approaches. The NDP election platform blasts the B.C. Liberals for presiding over a doubling of log exports to 5.7 million cubic metres between 2009 and 2012, with "no plan to curtail the flow. "We will work with stakeholders to reduce raw log exports and create more value-added forestry jobs in British Columbia," says the NDP platform, repeating its 2009 campaign pledge. The B.C. Liberals tout their success selling lumber to China

and Hong Kong, whose share of B.C. lumber exports has grown from 6.6 per cent in 2006 to 32.6 per cent in 2011. The B.C. Liberals say their marketing partnership with Ottawa and the forest industry has sold enough lumber to keep 16 mills operating. "Banning exports of unprocessed logs won't solve timber access issues for mills, especially coastal ones," the B.C. Liberal platform says. "Our preference is to have logs milled here at home, but log exports are a key component to growing our coastal forest economy and keeping people employed in British Columbia." The Coastal Forest Products Association argues that each highgrade log sold abroad supports harvest of two more logs that go to domestic sawmills. Platform highlights: • The B.C.

Logs stockpiled at the Dunkley sawmill near Quesnel. For every two logs here, one went to China? the budget for planting and silviculture in pine beetle-affected forests by $10 million a year, starting in 2015. The party promises to consult with communities and industry to make a transition from volumebased harvest licences to area-based tenures, a plan that was withdrawn from the legislature amid criticism earlier this year. • The B.C. NDP promises a $100 million investment over five years to double the
number of seedlings planted and update forest inventories. The party has revived a proposal for a "jobs protection commissioner" to help adapt to reduced timber supply due to pine beetle damage. • The B.C. Conservatives propose to review Crown forest land tenures and "where appropriate, modify or change forms of tenure to ensure wealth and employment generation." The party also wants to increase research, reforestation
and marketing of forest exports abroad, but offers no specific plans or budget commitments. • The B.C. Green Party proposes to offer low-interest startup loans "to encourage small, labour-intensive eco-forestry." It also wants to hold an inquiry into "stumpage manipulation," and "accelerate tenure reform to require no less than 50 per cent of public forest tenures be held by First Nations woodlots and communities by the year 2019."

Who will stand up for Nechako Lakes? The voice of Nechako Lakes has been silent in Victoria for eight long years. The incumbent MLA, John Rustad... * has never been appointed to cabinet, * has never been named to a position of trust or responsibility, * has authored just one private members’ bill since being elected in 2005,
Dan Brooks will be a strong voice for B.C.’s North. He has a clear vision for, and a commitment to, the people of Nechako Lakes.

Dan will... * put constituents first, * bring outspoken leadership to the legislature, * stand up for northern interests,
* has voted with the BC Liberals on legislation that hurt the North, and
* put Nechako Lakes on the map, and
* has remained silent in the vain hope of obtaining a cabinet position.
* fight for the North to ensure we no longer are neglected by Victoria.

Lake Babine Nation elder does 2013 Sun Run
Seventy-seven year old Ann Williams and her team for the 2013 Vancouver Sun Run. Williams is throwing her head back in laughter at the far left. Walter Strong The recent Vancouver Sun Run, on April 21, 2013, holds a special place for Ann Williams, a Lake Babine Nation (LBN) elder who completed the 10 km Sun Run in three hours and 12 seconds. She was joined by 20 LBN runners for the event in support of improving literacy. “I liked it, but it was very tiring,” said 77 year old Williams of her first Sun Run. She joked that she would do another run, as long as she’s still alive when the time comes.
Ann went to Vancouver with her granddaughter Rena Thomas in mind. Thomas recently overcame a four year struggle with cancer, which is now in remission. Ann has lived in the Burns Lake area her entire life. Born in Old Fort, she moved to Burns Lake to attend school in 1941. Not only where there no schools near Old Fort (there’s now a school located in Fort Babine), but when she moved to Burns Lake, she remembers a town with just three buildings: the Royal Bank, a post office, and a hotel.
Long walks come naturally to Ann. When she was 12 years old, she would regularly make a seven mile hike in the Pendleton Bay area for seasonal fishing and hunting activities. As a young girl, the hike would take her six hours. So sixty-five years later, she wasn’t too worried about whether she be up for a 10 km hike through Vancouver streets. “I’d go for a walk sometimes,” Ann said of her training before the Sun Run. “But never for very long.” “I walked on a treadmill once,” she re-

called, poking fun at her own lack of training. She was accompanied by three of her grandchildren - Annalyn, Donald and Navaeh. Her youngest granddaughter Nevaeh Williams (Alec) was by her side from start to finish. Five of her children also joined her on race day: Ray, Theodore, Ron, Jeanette, and Delores Prince, the team leader. Not one to sit still, Ann makes the trip to Vancouver regularly to visit her granddaughter Navaeh. She said that she likes the big city but is always glad to get back to Burns Lake.

Chinese bucks back refinery
www.ldnews.net
The Comfort Zone Flying Dutchman Service
Black proposal for Kitimat gaining traction says recent poll Tom Fletcher The Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, the country's largest bank, has agreed to take part in financing a largescale oil refinery proposed for Kitimat. Kitimat Clean Ltd., a company owned by Black Press chairman David Black, announced the signing of a memorandum of understanding Thursday. The agreement commits the bank to "be the Chinese finan-
cial advisor to Kitimat Clean and cooperate in the financing of the proposed Kitimat refinery and associated pipelines and other elements," Black said in a statement. "Chinese companies will be involved in the engineering and construction of the refinery," Black said. "Up to 100 per cent of the output from the refinery is planned to be sold to Asian markets, including China and India." He added that majority con-
trol of the businesses will remain in Canada. Liu Yanping, deputy head of corporate banking, and Huang Jifa, deputy head of investment banking at the Chinese bank, said in the statement: "We are very pleased to be working toward a comprehensive agreement to finance a refinery in Canada, which is planning to export refined fuels to China and other Asian countries in the future." Black released a Mustel
Group poll in February that found three out of four B.C. residents support the idea to refine crude oil in Kitimat rather than export the raw product, diluted bitumen from the Alberta oil sands, by tanker. The same poll found that 57 per cent respondents opposed the Enbridge Northern Gateway pipeline project. Black has suggested his project may grow to include an alternative pipeline proposal, or oil shipped by CN Rail.
Community gazebo built Contributed

The finishing touches are put to a new fire pit and bar-b-cue smoke hood in Burns Lake.
During the past year, the Burns Lake Band has been constructing a community Gazebo on the lake front for community members. The project was initiated by Chief Albert Gerow, Councillor Dan George and Wesley Sam. The Gazebo was designed and built by volunteers Michael Wassegijig and Roger Tibbitts. The purpose of the Gazebo is to provide the Burns Lake Band Community Members and other members of the Burns Lake Community with a place to enjoy outdoor recreational activities. The overall goal of the project is to strengthen our community by learning
Six extra coal trains per day in Burns Lake MINES from t P5 amount to more than $49.5 billion in investment dollars. This isn’t to say that all these projects will necessarily go into the ground - or even that each one will be approved - but they do demonstrate the place that mining and energy extraction projects will play in B.C. and in the Northwest in particular. Unlike mining projects which require a significantly large workforce, oil and gas projects have massive start-up labour requirements but taper off over the longer term. For example, the 63 energy projects represent 43,000 person years of construction jobs, but only 3,800 longer-term operating jobs. The 40 mining projects represent less than half the personyears of construction work, but
they would provide over 93,000 operating jobs. With mineral mines often producing for more than 20 years, mining can bring long-term job stability to a region. Despite the monetary and employment benefits of mining, new projects face significant expenses and hurdles before they reach construction phase. Mining is not a sure thing in B.C. The provinces’ environmental assessment process considers potential short and long-term impacts on the environment and First Nations, among other qualifications. Recently, Pacific Booker Mineral’s Morrison Copper and Gold mine project proposed for a location just north of Granisle, B.C., was denied an environmental assessment certificate after 10 years of preparatory work and an investment of $30 million.
Stock holders lost $140 million in share value. The company is currently suing to have the decision overturned and to be awarded damages. British Columbia isn’t the only province where mining is playing a significant role in local and provincial economies. Those projects, even a province away, can impact local quality of life issues. The Coalspur Mines Ltd. Vista coal mine project near Hinton Alberta, will be Canada’s largest-ever coal mine. Twelve million tonnes of cleaned-coal will be transported to terminals on B.C.’s west coast. It is anticipated that Burns Lake will eventually see an additional six, 100-car trains per day as coal makes its way to the Ridley coal terminal in Prince Rupert. With files from the Interior News.

Lakes District News
Due to print schedules, the Lakes District News will not be able to publish coverage of the local candidate’s forum before the provincial election. All candidates were kind enough to take a moment to describe their vision for Lakes District News readers. We’ve limited print space to those candidates who were scheduled to be at the May 6, 2013, all-candidates forum in Burns Lake. Their full responses are available online at www.ldnews.net. Below, we’ve printed edited-for-space responses to the question:
“What would a vote for you mean for Burns Lake and area?”
B.C. Conservative
Colin Hamm
John Rustad
Sussanne Skidmore-Hewlett
B.C. Green Party
B.C. Liberal
B.C. NDP
The economy of northern BC relies heavily on the agricultural and resource sectors. To encourage economic growth in the north, we must create a positive business environment in which these sectors can thrive. This means we have to keep taxes low and provide the proper incentives to attract investment to grow the economy. The Carbon Tax is a particularly unfair tax that penalizes agriculture and resource development. The BC Cattlemen’s Association estimates that the average BC farmer and rancher spends an additional $2000 per year on the Carbon Tax, and the BC Grain Growers Association estimates the cost to their members is $4300 per year. This unfairly penalizes BC farmers, ranchers, and grain growers and puts them at a serious, competitive disadvantage in the global marketplace. In fact, BC farmers, ranchers, and agricultural produces have recorded six consecutive years of financial losses, even as their counterparts across the country enjoyed record profits. In addition, resource extraction such as logging and mining are highly energy intensive and spend millions each year in Carbon Tax. This places a further unfair tax burden on our northern economy. Dan Brooks and the BC Conservatives will repeal the Carbon Tax. Land is a critical component to a resource-based economy. That’s where the trees grow, that’s where the minerals are, and that’s where our northern economy gets its strength. To attract investment into this land we have to provide businesses with certainty on the land base.
A vote for Colin Hamm of the Green Party would mean that I would work to protect the health, happiness and prosperity of the people of Burns Lake for now and for generations to come. We need to think further into the future than what has been done previously. Let’s start with prosperity, and that of course mostly means the Forestry industry and the looming fall-down. Even if the mill gets rebuilt, we still have to make sure that there is an adequate supply of logs to run through it for generations to come. Protecting our forests means protecting our forestry jobs and the Green Party is the only party that makes that job #1. Conservation is at the very heart of the Green Party platform, and always has been, it’s not just this year’s election ploy. The best time to plant a tree was 50 years ago; the second best time is today. We want to invest heavily in reforestation and that will help future generations. We also have a plan for today. To make sure that the Forestry sector of the economy is strong, we can’t just carry on the same way we have always done things. We need to be smarter. We need to do more with our harvest. For example, in BC we harvest 1000 cubic meters of wood for every forestry job, whereas in Quebec they only cut 300. This means that they get more than 3 times as many jobs out of the same harvest. What are they doing differently? Well they are not just shipping off quickly sawed dimensional lumber; they are making things out of that wood, and we can too.
Burns Lake has gone through one of the most challenging times in its history. Through this, the community has remained positive and is now poised to see a boom of activity. Construction of a new mill, a new hospital, a new sports complex and road improvements will make Burns Lake a very busy place. Significant work is underway in forestry with reforestation, inventory work, a new community forest in partnership with First Nations and the Regional District as well as the potential for new area based tenures. The communities of Nechako-Lakes share common interests and goals with the success of one helping the economy of all. Just this year across Nechako-Lakes we’ve seen funding for a new Hospital, Sports Complex and road improvements for Burns Lake, a new School in Granisle, a new Water Treatment facility for Houston, a new Community Forest for Fraser Lake, Hospital Renovations, a new Community Forest and a Nechako White Sturgeon Conservation Facility in Vanderhoof, funding for a new Community Centre in Fort St. James as well as significant road improvements. Under the BC Liberals we’ve invested between $300 and $400 million in projects across Nechako-Lakes including more than $170 million in road improvements. These investments strengthen our economy and in turn support success in Burns Lake. By controlling spending, we’ve balanced our budget and are projecting an $850 million surplus over the next 3 years while maintaining BC’s AAA debt rating. On May 14th, I’m asking for your support.
British Columbians are ready for change, and a vote for Sussanne Skidmore-Hewlett would mean Burns Lake and this entire region would have a strong voice in the new government. I have always been a fierce advocate for what I believe in. Never one to be afraid of speaking up for what I believe in, I’ve fought for the needs of my family, for my co-workers, for people who I thought needed help. That’s the attitude I brought with me to the campaign trail and it’s the attitude I will bring to Victoria if the voters of NechakoLakes put their faith in me May 14. It’s also the attitude that attracted me to run as a New Democrat as part of Adrian Dix’s team. The NDP plan is a well-rounded plan, one that focusses on the needs of the north and especially the needs of small, northern communities like Burns Lake. It means protecting and supporting jobs in resource industries. We have a well-rounded plan to make sure we don’t miss economic development in mining - at risk because of the Liberals’ mismanagement. We have a comprehensive plan to get the most out of our public forests by encouraging value-added manufacturing and getting more jobs out of the trees we cut. And we’re going to support all resource industries with investment in skills training and post-secondary education. After 12 years of a Liberal government, it’ time for a change. New Democrats are offering a practical plan that reflects the priorities of rural British Columbians, especially those in the north.

Economy dominates TV debate
TOM FLETCHER
B.C.'s four major party leaders made their pitch for voter support in a 90-minute TV debate Monday evening, with economic and resource issues dominating. B.C. Liberal leader Christy Clark pressed her attack on Adrian Dix, the front-running leader of the NDP, accusing him of advocating big spending on government programs and restrictive environmental views that deter industrial development. "The NDP plan would rob Peter to pay Paul, hoping Paul will vote NDP," Clark said. "My plan is to put both Peter and Paul to work." Dix referred to B.C.'s ninth-place position in provincial job growth so far this
year. "Neither Peter nor Paul are working," he said. Both Dix and Clark pressed B.C. Conservative leader John Cummins on his rosy revenue forecasts, despite a promise to phase out the carbon tax on fossil fuels that would cost the provincial treasury more than $1 billion a year. Cummins responded to Clark's jab about him being forced to fire four of his candidates for various indiscretions. One of them was accused of impaired driving, Cummins said, adding that one B.C. Liberal candidate is seeking re-election after being convicted of the same offence. Green Party leader Jane Sterk was on the defensive about her long list of promises, including a guaranteed annual income to replace existing social programs,

The Lakes District Secondary School girls soccer team has been travelling widely to play the game. Contributed The Lakes District Secondary School (LDSS) girls’ soccer team travelled to Merritt from April 18 to April 21 to compete in their first tournament of
the season. They finished the tournament sixth out of thirteen teams. The team, Tanis Bjarnason, Breana Blackwell, Sarah Burlseon, Elise Dubé, Carroll Edmund, Mikayla Fairley, Carli Moroski, Molly Nicholas, Janelle O’Meara, Serena Quan, Gianna Ragsdale,
Lauren Solecki, Kassie and Katie Watts, and Kelly Zimmer, couldn’t have done it without their coach and driver, Mrs. Pattie Dubé The girls played in Nakusp last weekend and will be off to Prince George on May 16 for zone championships.
Non-union bidders welcome, NDP says
Tom Fletcher
An NDP government would impose minimum levels of apprentice participation for government-funded construction projects, but won’t restrict non-union firms from bidding, the party’s labour critic says. Shane Simpson, running for re-election in Vancouver Hastings, rejected a suggestion by the Independent Con-
tractors and Business Association that the “project agreements” promised in the NDP election platform mean public construction will become uniononly. ICBA president Phil Hochstein accused the NDP of planning a return to the approach the party brought to construction of the Island Highway during the 1990s. That project agreement specified the contractor must
pay union wages, and cost increases resulted in a scaled-down design with fewer overpasses. Simpson said there would be two objectives for new project agreements for publicly funded projects: to ensure local hiring and meet targets for skills training. He gave the example of BC Hydro, which he said has “done very little” to employ apprentices. Projects in remote communities and
aboriginal hiring would be a priority if the NDP forms a government in the May 14 election, he said. The training targets would extend to municipal projects that have provincial funding, if they are large enough to support it. “It would differ from project to project, depending on the nature of the project, but we want to make sure that it’s not just people coming to town to take the work,” Simpson said.

Reacher not a stretch
Action film delivers the goods with smarts DOC HOLLYWOOD
I must confess, I had never heard of the books about ‘Jack Reacher’ by Lee Childs before this movie. So I really had no expectations going in. Apparently, according to what I’ve researched, Dolph Lundgren would’ve made a better choice for the main character, accord-
ing to the author’s description. So if you’re unfamiliar with the 17 novels that feature our hero, you’ll be fine with this, the first big screen adaptation, which is based on book number 9 ‘One Shot’. The story revolves around Reacher (Tom Cruise) investigating a random shooting in Pittsburgh. All of the evidence points out to an ex-military trained sniper with a lurid past, but despite the compelling proof, his defence attorney (Rosamund Pike) sets out to make sure the right man is apprehended. The pursuit

of the truth reveals that the obvious and random acts might be more than just a tragic accident. A mesh of a 90's John Grisham-esque thriller procedurals with flashes of a 70's/80's vigilante movie, ‘Jack Reacher’ does deliver the goods, and maintains the suspense throughout, giving it that ‘Bourne Identity’ feel to it, which makes it worth checking out. Director Christopher McQuarrie excels in creating an attractive set of characters in the film (much like his underrated ‘Valkyrie’, which also starred Cruise),
aside from Reacher’s persona; everyone around him is a fascinating character, criminal or otherwise. The dialogue is smart and detailed oriented with a blend of humour and sarcasm that produce a well-balanced and developed narrative. Add to that the most fascinating car-chasing sequence in film, to date, and the result is a nonstop action thriller that will keep audiences at the edge of their seat, with the most unlikely hero in fiction. ‘Jack Reacher’ starring Tom Cruise is out on DVD/Blu-ray now.

Intel 4th Gen Haswell Launch Computer Repairs, Sales & Training

Intel announced last week that it’s new fourth generation Core processor, codenamed “Haswell”, will hit the market June 3rd. Though the initial launch lineup is expected to be targeted towards the high end desktop market, Intel plans to release a slew of high efficiency Haswell chips for the tablet and notebook market soon afterwards. Haswell includes quite a few improvements over the previous Ivy Bridge architecture, including increased performance of the onboard graphics while at the same time reducing the overall power consumption of the processor. However the new Haswell chips are designed for a slightly different socket than the previous Sandy and Ivy Bridge CPUs, so any upgrade will most likely require a change of motherboard as well. But don’t throw out you’re old LGA1155 motherboard yet. Intel will also soon be releasing the Ivy Bridge-E series processors, which will boast up to 12 cores instead of the usual 8, and will include a larger L3 cache.

SCHOOL OF HARD ROCKS FOR BURNS LAKE STUDENTS
On Thursday, April 18, 2013, five LDSS students participated in the twenty-seventh annual Project Heavy Duty. Students toured the Endako Mine. During the tour, they saw the mill, mine pit, pit shop, and the mine expansion. They also listened to a human resources presentation. Students will be completing the project later this month at a decommissioned gravel pit north of Vanderhoof. At left, participants stand in front of one of the large ore trucks at the Endako Mine.
