The aging School District 91 bus garage in Burns Lake will be retired from duty by next summer. Renova-tions to the Muriel Mould gymnasium will be completed over the winter, but extensive spring landscaping will be needed once the winter freeze is over before bus service can be completely transferred.

The current bus garage dates from the 1960s and has reached the end of its useful life, said Tim Bancroft, man-ager of facilities for School District 91.

“It was originally built for a few trades people to use in the 1960s,” he said. “We’ve long since outgrown it and we were looking for a new facility anyway.”

In September 2010, the student bod-ies of Muriel Mould elementary and William Konkin elementary were com-bined due to enrolment decline.

The district school board didn’t want to lose ownership of the building, so they kept the property and have been renting out much of the former class-room space to community groups, primarily with a focus on infant educ-tion, like the Strong Start program and Mother Goose.

The gym has not seen much use since the school amalgamation. Other than a couple of events per year, like hosting job fairs or the district school science fair, the gym has been under-utilized.

About two years ago the school

district began looking for a solution to its bus garage and maintenance fa-cility needs.

“We looked around town for shar-ing opportunities, but there weren’t any,” Bancroft said. “That’s when we decided to take over the other half of Muriel Mould.”

Unlike other gymnasiums in town, including the former Lakes District Secondary School that is now the Burns Lake Band office and Little

Angels Daycare, there is no expen-sive wood flooring in the Muriel Mould gym.

The floor is linoleum on concrete. Once the linoleum is removed, a new floor will be built over the existing concrete that will include in-floor heating, and a mechanic’s pit for ser-vice work.

Like many properties in that area, the old garage is on Burns Lake Band land. It is not clear if the property will return to band control or be put up for sale.

After a five year hiatus, Lake Babine Nation (LBN) held its three-day AGA last week.

Chief Wilf Adam described the de-lay in holding the AGA as a setback due to band financial difficulties. This year’s AGA was possible because band council and management had made large strides in taking band fi-

nances in a positive direction."Over 400 or so of our citizens

were involved over the last three days," Adam said. "We spent over $70,000 and that stayed in the Burns Lake area. It was a success with lots of interest in what LBN delivers."

Attendees of the assembly had the opportunity to listen to staff reports, and make their concerns known pub-licly and directly to council and staff members responsible.

Last Week’s Question: Are you optimistic for the region’s future growth?

30% No 70% Yes

Reaction was swift and scattered after the “frame-work agreement” on new oil pipelines announced last week by B.C. Premier Chris-ty Clark and Alberta Premier Alison Redford.

First, here’s what it doesn’t mean.

“B.C. blinked,” according to one Toronto commentator, based on the popular notion that B.C. gave up its claim to a share of Alberta’s resource

royalties from heavy oil. Clark never made such a claim, so it would be difficult to give it up.

Her often-repeated condition of a “fair share” of rev-enues from any new oil pipelines is purposely vague, but after repeated protests from Alberta, Clark clarified as far back as last June that provincial royalties are not on the table. There is no constitutional way to make such a de-mand, a point Redford has made several times.

NDP leader Adrian Dix and the usual chorus of profes-sional protesters claimed that Clark flip-flopped, opposing the Enbridge Northern Gateway proposal before the election and then embracing it once she was re-elected.

This is also inaccurate. Clark’s five conditions were set out before the May election, demanding ap-proval by a federal environmental review, “world-leading” spill prevention and response capability on land and at sea, meeting legal requirements to consult and share benefits with aboriginal communities, and the undefined “fair share” for B.C.

Clark said numerous times during the campaign that the conditions have not been met, and made pessi-mistic noises about Northern Gateway, but she very carefully did not campaign against it. The B.C. Liberal platform also endorsed a Kitimat-area oil refinery proposed by this newspaper’s owner, and Clark repeat-edly referred to that sort of industrial expansion as one of the potential “fair share” components for B.C.

The B.C. Liberal government made its opposition to Northern Gateway “as currently proposed” official on May 31, two weeks after the election, in its final submission to the federal review panel. If Clark had wanted to jump on the anti-pipeline bandwagon for political gain, that move could have been made earlier.

NDP environment critic Spencer Chandra Herbert said the B.C. government has taken the position that more oil will reach the West Coast, by rail if not by pipeline. I’m not sure if or when that claim was made, but it’s true that rail shipments are already permitted.

Here’s what Redford and Clark agreed on. Redford accepts B.C.’s five conditions, provincial royalties excluded, and Clark endorsed Redford’s proposed “Canadian Energy Strategy,” which B.C. rejected last year.

A draft of the strategy released last summer contains no specifics on how it would facilitate a pipeline project from Alberta to B.C. It talks about developing Canada’s energy reserves and at the same time somehow reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and promises a final version next spring. Oh, and Quebec refuses to participate.

Ottawa has sole jurisdiction over inter-provincial projects such as Northern Gateway and the proposal by Kinder Morgan Canada to expand the 60-year-old Trans Mountain pipeline to Burnaby and refineries in Washington.

If there is to be some extra revenue for B.C. from oil traffic, it could theoretically take the form of a toll on pipelines. Redford pointed out the problem with that idea in her speech to an energy forum in Vancouver last week. She noted that 42 per cent of B.C. natural gas is piped through Alberta to markets. If B.C. can toll Alberta oil, the same could be done with B.C. gas.

None of B.C.’s five conditions has yet been met. Legally, they don’t have to be, except for the one about accommodating aboriginal title.

t Editorial

Burns Lake is far re-moved from any military institution or installation. The politics of North-ern B.C. are centred on bread-on-the table is-sues, like work, educa-tion, forestry, mining and pipelines.

A local paper doesn’t cover international af-fairs very often, unless those affairs directly af-fect the ongoing local

narrative. Our narrative up here isn’t often inter-rupted by wars far away.

Those with living memories of waking up one morning in Northern B.C. only to find themselves on a train enlisted for military service before the end of the day are fewer every year.

Thankfully, it doesn’t seem likely that times like those will be upon us again anytime soon.

Last Sunday many in Burns Lake joined the na-tional moment when Canadians across the country gathered to reflect and honour those who made great sacrifices for freedom.

As the number of Canadian veterans continues to decline, what will happen to our collec-tive memory of past wars and the will to ‘never again’ see the eruption of war on a worldwide scale?

It is too simplistic to say we will forget how terrible war is and fall into it again under the sway of nationalistic jingoism or misplaced international do-gooding.

Those days are gone. Our cynicism of nationalism and our reluctance to participate in the brutal but localized violence that seems to define much of world’s present conflicts, make it very unlikely that we’ll see a fervor for war overtake the country.

We are fortunate to be sheltered here from the brutal realities that many in the world find themselves in.

Geography is our insulation. It is difficult for a Canadian to be drawn into a conflict, un-less he or she enlists to do it. Even then, our military is rightly cautious with its international commitments.

Dozens of ongoing, violent conflicts consume and maim tens of thousands of young and old every year. On a worldwide scale, veterans of war continue to mount every year.

Some of us grew up with a parent who was a serving member in a major conflict, making the experience of war more real and immediate. But for most, war is something that hap-pened far away and long ago.

Do Remembrance Day ceremonies bring to the forefront of people’s minds the tragic im-mediacy of war? We see those who have served and it reminds us that our way of life here came at a great cost to many.

We also recognize in the younger men and women who participate in the services, like our cadets, the reality that terrible conflicts far away could still consume and maim our own.

We are thankful to all the veterans who have survived. We remember especially those who, because of their ultimate sacrifice, are most in danger of being forgotten.

We are also thankful for those who serve today, whether in hostile overseas missions or in their ready willingness to rise to a call to action by their enlistment in the Canadian Armed Forces or Reserves.

We also acknowledge the men and women who continue to quietly support veterans, both young and old, by their participation in the many Royal Canadian Legions across the prov-ince and across the country.

Our own legion here in Burns Lake and its many volunteers are an important part of how we as a community support those who we publicly remember once a year.

The Nov. 7, 2013 meeting of the Burns Lake Downtown Revitalization Committee (DRC) saw proposed plans for phase two work surrounding the Shell brownfield site this is nearing completion of reme-

diation testing.The proposal is to build a

pull-through R.V. parking area directly across from the Rex-all Drugstore parking lot. A new entrance would be avail-able, across from the Rexall. The existing lane way options would remain which connect Hwy. 16 to Third Ave. behind the Post Office.

Business owners on the com-mittee expressed concern sur-rounding the proposed design, which includes portions of the lot to be landscaped rather than converted to parking spaces, as

well as an approximately 15 metre long, treed median to serve as traffic flow control.

The addition of extra park-ing would seem to be a natu-ral fit for downtown b u s i n e s s o w n e r s , and it is a w e l c o m e c o n c e p t . But some b u s i n e s s o w n e r s

governments who do not seem to recognize the territorial rights of First Nations when it comes to resource extraction and the profits it brings with it.

But LBN is receiving some economic advantage already from preliminary natural gas pipeline work in their territories. The re-cently completed Summit Camp, located behind the Fort Babine Lodge site, became operational on June 24, 2013.

The full-service camp has 23 rooms under contract with Spec-tra Energy, and 10 rooms under contract with Stantec, who is doing work related to the TransCanada Coastal GasLink project.

The camp is staffed by seven LBN members, and was built with lumber milled at the Fort Babine Sawmill.

Fred William, Fort Babine councillor, described his commu-nity’s location along the energy corridor as making it a prime location for industry to consider.

“We have industries knocking on our door,” William said. “Es-pecially mining and pipeline companies.”

“As leaders we are making sure that a proper plan is in place to start economic adventures with the companies that are active in our area.”

The 2013 sockeye salmon harvest was a devastating blow to LBN. Only 312,327 sockeye were counted at the Babine Lake fence. A minimum of 1,050,000 are required to fulfil Skeena First Nations food fish requirements, spawning channels and wild tributaries.

On a positive note, Donna Macintyre, LBN fisheries director, noted that an unusually large return of jack sockeye (two-year old sockeye that have returned to spawning channels) was counted, at 320,783 fish.

Although jack salmon are not commercially viable, Macintyre reported that the high number typically means an extremely high sockeye return the following year.

The B.C. government has spent 10 years and $66 million on meetings and consultants to discuss aboriginal "governance" of children in protective care, while actual services such as domes-tic violence safe houses remain inadequate to meet the need.

That conclusion emerges from a new report from B.C.'s Rep-resentative for Children and Youth, Mary Ellen Turpel-Lafond, who calls it a "confused, unstable and bizarre area of public pol-icy" where millions continue to be spent without accountability.

"For example," Turpel-Lafond wrote, "nearly $35 million was spent discussing regional aboriginal authorities, including large expenditures on paying people to meet, hiring consultants to

facilitate those meetings, and producing materials of question-able practical value following such meetings that almost never addressed the actual difficulties children and youth were experi-encing in their lives – issues such as parental addiction, domestic violence, poverty, neglect and the need for mental health services or special needs support."

Stephanie Cadieux, B.C.'s Minister of Children and Family Development, said Wednesday she accepts the findings of the report, and agrees that the ministry "strayed from its mandate to provide direct services."

A new deputy minister appointed two years ago has worked to redirect ministry spending to services for those in need, Cadieux

A hungry learner probably has his or her mind on the next meal rather than the day’s studies. Several School District 91 schools in-clude a breakfast and/or a lunch program for their students.

Since 2012, RioTinto Alcan (RTA) has part-nered with the Break-fast Club of Canada (BCC) to sponsor seven programs in School District 91.

More than 400 stu-dents at Fort St. James Secondary, Fraser Lake Elementary, Lakes Dis-trict Secondary School (LDSS), Fort Babine Elementary, and three schools on the Woyenne reserve (Kindergarten, Primary, and the K’ay Skak alternate program) in Burns Lake, benefit from their schools par-ticipation in the break-fast program.

Grassy Plains El-ementary Secondary School has recently ap-plied to be part of the program, and has been placed on a waiting list pending available fund-ing.

Grassy Plains had a hot lunch program for 10 years running, until this year.

Cheslatta Carrier Nation hosted the pro-gram for seven years with funds drawn from their community forest operations. It started out as a small program to address the needs of Cheslatta children, but quickly grew to include all students at Grassy Plains.

Three years ago, after the mountain pine bee-tle epidemic affected the profitability of the community forest and after the shut down of the Cheslatta sawmill, RTA stepped in and took over funding the $70,000 a year program for three years. Recent-ly, RTA announced cost saving measures that meant the shutdown of funding for Grassy Plains school.

Keeping body and mind togetherBreakfast programs rely on corporate sponsor support

Corrina Leween was Cheslatta Carrier chief when the Grassy Plains hot lunch program was initially established, and is sad to see the pro-gram no longer avail-able.

“I can’t stress enough how important it was to this community,” Leween said. “Having it disappear is detrimental to our community. The kids got use to sitting and eating together. In our traditional ways, food is the glue of the community.”

Seven other schools in the school district are on the waiting list. The waiting list represents about 600 children.

RioTinto Alcan’s 2012 $109,400 donation to BCC made it possible for the organization to equip schools and train staff and volunteers to be able to offer the pro-gram.

“We’re 98 per cent funded by corporations and businesses,” said Josee Desjardins, BCC Western Canada region-al director. “We have close to a 100 programs in B.C.”

RioTinto Alcan’s funding will come to an end this January, and a decision has not been made whether or not the funding will be re-newed.

But BCC looks at its role as on ongoing com-mitment, regardless of specific local funding.

“If RTA cannot re-new their funding, we will keep supporting the schools,” she said. “We’re not going to walk away.”

“Ideally, we’d find a new sponsor, but we have national sponsors, like Walmart, Costco, and Air Canada for ex-ample, so we won’t walk away from a school be-

cause we’re loosing ded-icated funding.”

The national level funding allows BCC to maintain stable pro-grams where it has already establish pro-grams, but local corpo-rate and individual spon-sors are needed to keep the program growing.

Funding levels deter-mine how long a school has to remain on a wait-ing list of a breakfast program.

In Burns Lake, at LDSS, between 60 and 80 kids take advantage of the free breakfast every day. Lynne Reed, who runs the LDSS kitchen, has been serv-ing up healthy home-made food since spring of 2012.

She has a full day of kitchen work everyday. In addition to the break-fast program, LDSS also provides a lunch program spread over separate time blocks to manage student vol-umes. Reed works with student, staff and com-munity volunteers, in-

cluding Burns Lake RCMP members to get the meals out.

In addition to the prin-ciple funding that comes from BCC and Rio Tinto Alcan, LDSS principal Mike Skinner said the program is supported by a strong base of com-munity support, includ-ing The Lakes District Family Enhancement program, Breakfast for Learning, the Rotary Club of Burns Lake, the Burns Lake District Teachers Association, James Ferguson, the CIBC, and the Lakes District Food Bank Co-alition.

“We have stable fund-ing for two or three years,” Skinner said. “Then we’ll have to see were things stand.”

Breakfast and lunch programs have been shown to decrease bul-lying and increase stu-dent focus and ability to learn.

“When we first started the [lunch] program, the school told us the pro-gram made a change for

students in the school towards eliminating violence and racism,” Leween recalled. “They raved about the program and how much it did.”

Schools that don’t participate in a regular breakfast program still watch out for students who may be going hun-gry.

“We... help out stu-dents who missed break-fast or forgot a lunch,” said Decker Lake El-ementary School princi-pal Vincent Hewgill.

Lynne Reed serves up breakfast and lunch everyday at the Lakes District Secondary School in Burns Lake. The breakfast program serves between 60 to 80 kids every morning, and is funded by community partners and the Breakfast Club of Canada.

TALK from t P6said. She acknowledged that another $8 million is being spent this fiscal year on impractical "na-tion to nation" talks before consulting contracts expire.

NDP children and families critic Carole James said she supports the concept of delegating child welfare to aboriginal communities where it's practical to do so. But she said it's "appalling" that millions are spent on high-level meetings while there is an eight-month waiting list for youth mental health services.

The B.C. Liberal government has a track re-cord of this, going back to former premier Gor-don Campbell, who recruited a South African expert as deputy minister to impose a new ab-original child care system, she said.

"They put out a big idea or a slogan, say they're going to move it, and then have no plan to implement it properly, with resources, with clear outcomes," James said. "The tragedy with this one is it's aboriginal children who are suf-fering."

Cadieux said it isn't fair to conclude all the money was wasted. The ministry has better rela-tionships with aboriginal communities, and still provides direct services across the province, she said.

Talk is expensive

Nine Burns Lake students at William Konkin Elementary school were selected as winners of the 2013 Young Writers of Canada contest. On Nov. 7, 2013, the school gathered to celebrate their achievement, and former story contest winner Abby Michell presented six of the students with copies of the anthology they are now published in. Three of the contest winners were not available for the assembly. Pictured here are Abby Michell, WKE teacher Judy Thompson, librarian Kevin Miller, and contest winners Micah Watson, Clorese George, Bradley Golar, Brianna Bjorgen, Blair Bysouth, and Christian Robinsons. Not available for the photo were Darren Joseph, Noah Bjarnason, and Nichol Reed.

a spill every 5 days

Enbridge pipelinesEnbridge pipelines

More info:

[email protected] Waters CoalitionLakes District

Long-Term

When a pipeline is decommissioned by the (federal) Na�onal Energy Board, it is no longer the responsibility

of the pipeline owner.

A pipeline this large would allow the tar sandsto grow by about 30%.

We need to invest in alterna�ves.Locking into a petroleum future will lead to

escala�ng climate change and water shortages.

The Real Jobs

Pipelines might create a few full-�me jobs.

Pipelines also create a high risk to the income and livelihood of everyone else: farming, fishing, forestry, hun�ng, tourism.

What economy will there be a�er a major dilbit spill?

The Real Money

The cost for clean-up and losses a�er the Exxon Valdez spill was $6.300 billion. The clean-up of the Kalamazoo spill, so far, is $1.039 billion.

Enbridge es�mates that the total tax revenues for all levels of government would be $2.6 billion over the 30-year lifespanof the Northern Gateway project. That's less than $2.48 per Canadian per year.

That's all taxes “generated from all economic ac�vity from project opera�ons”, not just direct taxes paid by Enbridge.

In other words, we in Bri�sh Columbia will need the tax incomefrom 2½ pipelines for 30 years to pay for 1 spill the size of the Exxon Valdez.

Super-tankers could carry 8 �mes that amount of petroleum…...about 220 of them per year.

Risk of a Spill

Enbridge has been cited and fined many �mesfor safety infrac�ons and for viola�ons

of wetland and waterway protec�on regula�ons.

Enbridge pipes average a spill every 5 days.A spill is a ma�er of “when” and “where”, not “if”.

The petroleum industry and governmentconsider a clean-up “successful”

if they collect 10% to 15% of the spill.

The 2010 spill in Michigan's Kalamazoo Riverhas not been cleaned up yet.

The amount of dilbit between the shut-off valveson both sides of the “Narrows” here in Burns Lake

would be larger than the spill at Kalamazoo.

What about accessing a remote spill in deep snow,or a�er a landslide or earthquake?

What about forest fire?

Very Toxic

Bitumen extrac�on uses a lot of energyto get a li�le more energy.

It uses a lot of water –twice as much as the city of Calgary every day.

It pollutes air, land, and water downstream.

Rare and unusual cancers are found regularlyin the people and animals living downstream.

Bitumen sinks in water.

Condensate, made from natural gasand used to dilute bitumen,contains many dangerous chemicals.Material Safety Data Sheets classify itas “Very Toxic Material”.

Exposure can cause immediate severe problemsfor your breathing, skin and eyes, diges�ve tract,and brain and nervous system.

Some of these chemicals are known to causecancers, gene�c muta�ons, and birth defects.

In a dilbit spill, the condensate may becomea poten�ally poisonous and explosive cloud,even below freezing temperatures.Remember, we live in a valley.

Enbridge wants to build 2 huge pipelines through our community.One pipe would pump diluted bitumen (dilbit) from Alberta’s tar sands to Ki�mat, and from there by super-tankers to China and elsewhere. The other pipe would pump condensate from Asia and Russia back to Alberta.

The proposed Northern Gateway pipelines would cross under“the Narrows” near the Welcome sign at the west end of the Village of Burns Lake, upstream from water sources for the village including Woyenne (Lake Babine Na�on), for Ts’il Kaz Koh First Na�on (Burns Lake Band), and for many individual homes.

Bitumen is too thick and heavy to pump.Dilbit is more acidic, corrosive, and abrasive than crude oil.It has to be heated and diluted with solvents (condensate)

before it’s pumped under very high pressure.

Leaving the pump sta�on, dilbit could be pumped atup to 2,600 pound per square inch (psi).

How Much?

Dilbit about 356 barrels per minute= almost 6 barrels per second

Condensate about 134 barrels per minute

based on Enbridge’s submissions to the Joint Review Panel of the Na�onal Energy Board.

and the traffic control median will unnecessar-ily complicate the plans.

Other concerns raised during the meeting sur-rounded how new ac-cess to a parking lot could affect traffic flow.

Jack Brown, speak-ing as a concerned citi-zen and not part of the DRC, noted that the proposed parking lot could become a through road if precautions weren’t taken.

One of his concerns, that access to the post office could be further cut of under phase two plans, was addressed by village staff who said that lane way access behind the post office would not be closed.

Staff also clarified that the design plans for the parking area are in the hands of village staff, and are no longer contracted out to a de-sign company.

This was to address concerns by some DRC members that planning for phase two was being done by people without a sound grasp of how traffic and pedestrians get around Burns Lake, or of the particular needs of business owners.

Since some down-town sidewalk ‘bulbs’ were landscaped with chip and mulch fill, some business owners have noted the diffi-culties associated with keeping the sidewalk tidy after heavy rains or windy conditions.

Some DRC members asked village staff to consider removing chip

and mulch from the plans for phase two de-velopment.

A litany of other con-cerns were raised dur-ing the meeting: new visitor information signs shouldn’t block

existing business signs; parking shouldn’t be limited to accommodat-ing R.V.s, but should include space for regu-lar vehicles; that winter snow removal could be an issue withe proposed

curbs and large median.Finally, the issue of

whether or not the site should be the next to be developed was raised, with some members believing that other options should be ex-

plored.Staff responded that

grant opportunities as-sociated with the pro-posed development were stronger than with other options, and that other phase tow possi-

bilities were more ex-pensive.

Staff also noted that the addition of down-town parking would go towards making more downtown core parking available, something which was a sore point for Burns Lake busi-ness owners who lost a portion, or all, of their street side parking un-der phase one work.

Phase two is in very preliminary stages. Village of Burns Lake (VBL) staff do not know yet how the Shell property will converted to VBL property. It may be gifted, leased or sold

for a very low price, but nothing has been final-ized.

Remediation, al-though nearing comple-tion, must receive an en-vironmental certificate before anything can be done with the land. The preliminary plans will allow VBL staff to include phase two con-struction in upcoming budget deliberations.

Kelly Holliday, busi-ness owner and member of the DRC, opposed the resolution to bring the plans forward for budgetary consideration and approval by VBL council.

The proposed next phase of Burns Lake downtown revitalization was unveiled last week during a Downtown Revitalization Committee meeting. Concerns were raised surrounding the tentative proposal.

The curling season is on at the Burns Lake curling rink.

Initial concerns that construction work on the arena multi-use fa-cility expansion by Ven-ture Pacific Construc-tion would mean only two of the rink’s three sheets would be avail-able for league play have been overcome. Venture Pacific was able to expedite some work and remove a tem-porary plywood access deck that was covering one of the sheets.

The upstairs lounge will not be available for league or bonspiel use, but having three sheets available means league players will enjoy a normal season without having to resort to late games.

Last Tuesday, wom-en’s league play got underway with six full teams. Gabriella Hamp, women’s league coor-dinator, said the league could accommodate more teams if neces-sary. Hamp is big sup-

porter curling in Burns Lake and she encour-ages people to come out and give it a try.

“Curling is inexpen-sive, all you need are clean running shoes,” Hamp added. “The curling club allows the use of brooms and other gear. People should feel free to come out any-time.”

League play is com-petitive, but Hamp or-ganizes team rosters so that league play is fair and even.

“Men's league play is off to a slow start,” said Kevin White who has been working at get-

ting the league off the ground this year.

“Unless we get more interest in form-ing men’s teams, we’ll have to try and accom-modate the men who have already committed to a spot in the mixed league,” White said.

Enough men came out for regularly sched-uled play last Wednes-day to form three men teams, but White is looking for at least five teams to make the sea-son work. Six teams would be ideal.

If enough teams can't be formed for a men's league, those that have

signed up for league play will probably be absorbed into mixed league play Thursday evenings.

Mixed league has eight teams signed up, but could easily handle two more teams.

There is only one drop-in league at the moment, a senior's league that plays on Tuesdays and Thurs-days.

The curling club at one time hosted a youth league, but the organiz-ers moved away and nobody has taken up the project.

Logan Wilson, Vil-

lage of Buns Lake rec-reation coordinator is looking into funding options for setting up another drop-in league, or a youth drop-in league. He hopes to be able to set a program in motion early in the new year, if funding comes through.

Women's league plays Tuesday evenings at 6:30 p.m., mixed league is Thursdays at 6:30 p.m., and the se-nior's drop in league is Tuesdays and Thurs-days 10 a.m. to noon.

Men's league is Wednesdays at 6:30 p.m.

Curling league play underwayNew members always welcome to come out

Burns Lake Curling Club league play is underway. If you are short on gear or experience, come out anyway say league coordinators; you don’t have to use a kitchen broom like Burns Lake’s Garth Schienbein above. The club has loaners.

Premier Christy Clark met Alberta Pre-mier Alison Redford in Vancouver Thursday to announce what they are calling a "framework agreement" for heavy oil pipeline expansion to the West Coast.

Alberta agrees to sup-port B.C.'s demand for a revenue share from the oil production and export, as long as it doesn't come from Al-berta's resource royal-ties. B.C. agrees to sup-port Alberta's call for a national energy strat-egy, Clark and Redford said Tuesday.

"Alberta has reached a broader understand-ing and acceptance of British Columbia's five conditions, and our province had agreed to join the Canadian Ener-gy Strategy discussions started by Premier Red-ford," Clark told report-ers at an energy confer-ence in Vancouver.

In previous meetings, Redford has been ada-mant that none of Al-berta's resource royal-ties from oilsands crude will be shared. B.C. has argued that the oil pro-ducers and the federal government have to find a solution to the condi-tions for approval laid

down by Clark.Redford said her pro-

posed national strategy is to address interpro-vincial projects such as pipelines, recognizing that energy is provincial jurisdiction.

"We don't think this is about quid pro quo or gotcha politics," Redford said. "This is about putting in place economic models that are going to work for Canada, for each of our economies, and allow for product to move."

Clark said she is pleased that Redford accepted her conditions, and the assurance she gave at their June meet-ing in Kelowna that B.C. isn't after Alberta's resource royalties. B.C. makes substantial roy-alties from natural gas and hopes to increase that substantially with exports, Clark said.

NDP leader Adrian Dix contrasted Tues-day's statements with Clark's position before the May election, where the government told the federal review panel on the Enbridge Northern Gateway pipeline pro-posal it was opposed.

NDP environment critic Spencer Chandra Herbert said B.C. has also changed its posi-tion to say oil shipments

are "going to happen, whether by train or by pipeline."

Redford visited B.C. to give a keynote speech to an energy fo-rum hosted by the Van-couver Board of Trade. The sold-out event in-cluded a panel discus-sion with Redford and Kinder Morgan Canada president Ian Ander-son, whose company is proposing to expand its Trans Mountain pipe-line from Alberta to its Burnaby marine ter-minal and refineries in Burnaby and Washing-ton.

Anderson was asked by Black Press how his company would respond if B.C. pro-poses a specific tax or

toll on each barrel of oil shipped through the twinned Trans Moun-tain pipeline.

"I think it's far too early to be talking about those kinds of con-cepts," Anderson said. "We're looking to define and deliver the benefits from our project direct-ly to communities in British Columbia. The extent to which the B.C. government evaluates those, they'll do so on their own accord and they'll call me if they need to."

A federal review panel is preparing to make recommendations on Enbridge's Northern Gateway pipeline pro-posed to run from Al-berta to a new marine

terminal at Kitimat.

News reports sug-gesting the B.C. gov-ernment is considering dismantling the Agri-cultural Land Commis-sion are not accurate, the minister in charge of the government's "core review" says.

A plan outlined in documents leaked to the Globe and Mail this week is "so secret that I don't even know about it myself," Energy Min-ister Bill Bennett said in an interview. "We're not even considering blowing up the ALC, or bringing it inside gov-ernment."

Bennett said agricul-tural land commission-ers will continue to de-cide on applications to amend the land reserve, established 40 years ago to protect farmland from development.

Bennett refused to comment on the sug-gestion that the prov-ince could be divided into two zones with different processes. But he said he is aware of many cases outside the southwestern part of B.C. where obvi-ously unfarmable land remains locked in the reserve.

Part of the problem has been a lack of fund-ing to the commission,

Bennett said. The cur-rent budget adds $4 million to the commis-sion's budget over three years.

"It's not all their fault, it's the way the legis-lation is written, it's the way their policies have developed," Ben-nett said. "All of those things add up to a lot of questionable deci-sions being made, and certainly not in areas where they have good agricultural land like Richmond and south Vancouver Island and the Fraser Valley and the Okanagan."

Bennett also rejected the suggestion that the Oil and Gas Commis-

sion would overrule the ALC on decisions in B.C.'s northeast. The OGC already has some authority on land use, and its role in the re-view is "tiny," he said.

NDP leader Adrian Dix accused the gov-ernment of hiding its

intentions before the May election.

"After commending two separate reviews that called for the ALC to be strengthened be-fore the election, the Liberals are now con-spiring to undermine it," Dix said.

Minister rejects report of ALC demise

Starting YoungA hacker from Quebec has pled guilty to three computer related charges after causing $60,000 worth of damage. Ordinarily that wouldn’t be much by way of news, but this particular hacker is only 12 years old. The boy in question, whose name has not been released, was involved in attacks against websites belonging the Montreal police, the Quebec Institute of Public Health, and the government of Chile. After breaching the security on these websites, the boy apparently traded information pirated from the sites to the hacktivist group Anonymous for video games. While this Grade 5 student might be one of the youngest hackers to come out of Canada , he still has a long way to go to catch up to Montreal based “Mafiaboy”, the then 15 year old who ran up about $1.7 Billion in damages back in 2000.

MILTON LEON GARDNEROct. 12, 1929 - Oct. 27, 2013

Our dad, Milton L. Gardner, husband, father and grandfa-ther, 84 years old, passed away on Oct. 27, 2013 at his home. He was born the 7th child of Francis A. and Priscilla Rose Gardner, in the little pio-neer settlement of Lewisville, Idaho. All of his grandparents were pioneers from the east-ern states who crossed the plains to Utah. His parents and siblings have all preceded him in death. He attended schools in Fort Hall, Nyssa, Ucon, St. Ignatius, and Pocatello. Dad was always a very hard work-er, running away to join a Wild West Show when he was 15. He started working for the Da-vey Tree Company in 1947. He met his wife, Arla May Fer-guson, on a farm in Milo and they were married on Sept. 11, 1950. They just celebrated their 63 years together. They were blessed with three daughters and one son. Dad’s work took him all over the western U.S. so they bought a long trailer so the family could move around with him. They decided to settle down when the kids started school so they bought a farm in Clark, just east of Rigby, Idaho, living there until 1970. When he saw an advertisement in a farm magazine for cheap land in British Columbia, he was ready for a new adventure. Af-ter looking around and several visits, they moved to Francois Lake, Southside area, in Brit-ish Columbia. There they farmed, raised cattle and ran a small sawmill for 35 years until their retirement in 1995. After retirement, Dad and Mom moved to Kelly Road, over-looking Tchesinkut Lake. If he wasn’t out fi shing he spent peaceful days overlooking the lake and hills. It was his great desire to live out his life here at this home and we are grate-ful that this was possible. Dad loved life. He loved his family, his dogs, his horses, his fi sh-ing and his friends. He was ac-tively interested in what was going on in the world and al-ways wanted to know all about his kids and grandkids, what they were doing, their travels and anything else that was new. Each time anyone talked to dad they learned something new and interesting. He taught us all about trees, rocks, fi sh-ing, animals, woodworking, cars, our ancestors, ropes, logging, hard work and family. We will miss Dad’s wisdom and his wit, his love and con-cern. Our family extends a grateful thank you to all for their care and concern for us during this time.Graveside services were held on Nov. 2, 2013 at the Burns Lake, B.C., cemetery.Survivors are: Wife Arla Gard-ner. Son Devon Milton Gard-ner (Christie), B.C. Daughter Sheryl Packer (Trent), Rigby, Idaho. Daughter Linda Hlina (Bob), Prince George, B.C. Daughter Kathy Funk (Ken), Burns Lake, B.C. Fourteen grandchildren and 32 great grandchildren.
