Parental AdvisoryCommittees (PACs) forChetwynd schools are setto receive grants from theMinistry of Community,Sport and CulturalDevelopment to enhanceextra curricular activitiesincluding sports, arts,educational camps andclass trips.The grants are part of

the nearly $12 million inBC community gaminggrants the ministry hasdistributed to the 1,470PACs and 49 DistrictParent AdvisoryCommittees (DPACs).These committees work

with school staff toenhance the educationalexperience for students atBC’s public, independentand First Nations schools.Under the standards set

out by the ministry, grantamounts are set at $20 perstudent, per year for PACsand $2,500 per year forDPACs.According to informa-

tion made publicly avail-able on the ministry’swebsite, Little PrairieElementary will receive$3,960, Ecole WindremElementary will get$2,240, ChetwyndSecondary School will get$6,820, Peace ChristianSchool will benefit from a$2,120 grant and MoberlyLake Elementary willreceive $780.Principal Sylvia Bell of

Don Titus Elementarynoted that her school didnot receive any money.Don Titus Elementary

received $2,120 throughgaming grants last year.This year, Don Titus was

able to raise just shy ofthat same amount throughthe school’s PAC fundrais-ing.“There are strict stipula-

tions as to what the grantmoney can be used for andI recollect that we couldnot use it for Montessori,”Bell said in an email.“Our PAC decided that

we would focus our ener-gies on other fundraisingactivities where we wouldhave more freedom to use

the money as we thoughtnecessary.”The timing of the appli-

cation process for thegaming grants was anoth-er factor that resulted inthe school not receivingany money.“Becoming a Montessori

school was a major focusfor us last year and wecould not proceed until wehad approval from theBoard of Trustees. We gotthis approval at about thesame time as the gaminggrant was open and wewere smack in the middleof holding a raffle,” Bell

explained.Through that raffle, they

were able to raise $2,000 topurchase most of theequipment needed for aMontessori education.“Parents in communities

across British Columbiawant the best educationpossible for their chil-dren,” Community, Sportand CulturalDevelopment MinisterCoralee Oakes said in astatement.“Community gaming

grants for PACs andDPACs help enrich theschool experience for stu-

dents by supportingappropriate and educa-tional extracurricularopportunities.”The money comes from

the revenues of commer-cial gaming establish-ments in BC, which areregulated by the govern-ment.The province distributes

roughly $135 million incommunity gaming grantsto benefit over 5,000 localorganizations represent-ing virtually every com-munity in the province. Afull list of approved gam-ing grants is availableonline at:www.gaming.gov.bc.ca/revenue/index.htm.Other groups eligible for

gaming grants includeagricultural fair organiz-ers, coordinators of local

festivals and celebrations,heritage associations andmuseums, arts and culturegroups, sports clubs, envi-ronmental organizations,human and social servicesorganizations, and associ-ations contributing topublic safety.Additional community

groups in Chetwynd notdirectly related to theschools will also receivecommunity gaminggrants.The Chetwynd and

District Minor HockeyAssociation will receive$22,750, the ChetwyndElectric Eels SwimAssociation $9,600 and theLittle Giants FigureSkating Club will get$7,700.

––––––––––––––CHETWYND – Several

planned changes forSchool District 59 bus runsthat were to be implement-ed in September 2014 havebeen put on hold after aBoard of Education meet-ing held Oct. 23 inChetwynd.A $750,000 cut from the

province to the SchoolDistrict 59 transportationbudget triggered a trans-portation review last Junedesigned to find savings inoperations.The review forced sever-

al measures to be imple-mented for the 2013 schoolyear, including bringing infees for Chetwynd in-townbusing.These fees will remain,

but other measures thatwere approved for the2014 school year are nowbeing deferred.The district says its

financial position is betterthan expected; promptinga recommendation fromJudy Clavier, trustee forelectoral area five, to sug-gest putting additionalbudget saving measureson hold.“As you know, we've

had a long and I think avery rigorous process inregards to what is going on

with the transportationfund or lack thereof,”Clavier said. “We got anincrease in guaranteedfunding. Even though weare going to get cut 1.5%per year, we still find our-selves with a little extramoney.“It would [therefore] be

my recommendation thatwe just push the pausebutton, that we continuehighlighting those thingsand reviewing them on aregular basis but we do notneed to move forward anyof those next steps at thistime.”The improved financial

position of the district’stransportation budget is inpart thanks to what was

referred to as a “gift” fromthe province.Clavier explained that at

the end of the budget year,the Ministry of Educationwas left with some extramoney and split it amongthe districts. The actualdollar amount that wasreceived by School District59 could not be confirmedby press time.As a result of this influx

of cash, the district has hitthe pause button on thefollowing measures:• A referendum planned

under section 112 of theSchool Act to raise$400,000 in tax revenuefrom regional districts Dand E, that would’veresulted in a tax increase of

about $18 per year on aproperty assessed at$300,000.• The elimination of

route #57 for dual creditstudents travelling fromChetwynd to DawsonCreek.The following was being

considered if the proposedreferendum was success-ful:• Further restrictions on

bus service, including amove to a centralized tran-sit-style pick up and dropoff routing structure.• Introducing rider fees

for all students.• Further increases in

fees for student attendingprivate schools.• The closure of some

rural schools.• Consideration of

switching to a four-dayschool week.All of these measures are

now deferred and will notbe happening as plannedin September 2014.But that does not mean

they will be taken off thetable all together. Theboard says it will continueto review the proposed

transportation recommen-dations and may revise orrecall any or all recom-mendations at any time.“This is based on what

we know now on Oct. 23,”Superintendent KathySawchuk noted.“Sometimes thingschange, and I know thatperhaps it’s based on whatwe know now.”Things could change

after, “a defined review ofthis when the real budgetarrives in December.”Sawchuck added that

the district would continueto review the routes it didnot defer, and that changesto the Tate Creek bus runsare dependent on theschool review and closureprocess, which is ongoing.In a statement issued on

their website, SchoolDistrict 59 said the Boardof Education would like tothank the public for theirpatience and understand-ing during the transporta-tion review process.

Do you have thewinning ticket?

OhToronto.

As a fellow formerOntarian, we used to jokedthat Toronto was the centreof the universe. And now,today that dream has cometrue. Thank you Rob Ford.Following months of

controversy and rumours(and outright denial)Mayor Ford admitted to

reporters Tuesday that hehas smoked crack cocaine– perhaps in a drunkenstupor. On a Toronto radioshow Sunday he evenencouraged the police torelease the video showinghim allegedly smokingcrack cocaine to the public.He said the people ofToronto deserved to see it.“Yes I have smoked

crack cocaine,” he toldreporters Tuesday. “Butno, do I? Am I an addict?No. Have I tried it?Probably in one of mydrunken stupors. Probablyapproximately about ayear ago. I answered your

question. You asked thequestion properly, I'llanswer it. Yes, I've mademistakes, all I can do nowis apologize and move on."Minutes later, Twitter

exploded with thousandsof #InADrunkenStuporjokes and by 3 pm was atop trending hashtag.Some of my favourites? “Ionce ate an entire block ofKraft singles #inadrunken-stupor” and“#InADrunkenStupor Ialmost watched JerseyShore.”Later in the day at a sec-

ond press conference, Fordsaid he would not be

resigning his post andwould be focusing on get-ting back to business.Yup. Just continuing on

like nothing happened.But what surprises me

even more is that his pop-ularity continues to main-tain status quo. In fact, oneday after the mayor madea public apology on hisSunday radio show, 43 percent of Toronto voters stillapproved of the job Ford isdoing as mayor, accordingto the Forum Researchpoll. Another reportshowed his popularityrose a little.I guess he’s relying on

the old adage “it’s easier toask forgiveness than getpermission.”During his time as

Mayor, Ford has consis-tently been in the head-lines both as Mayor andoutside of the office. He’sshown up to work alleged-ly drunk, he flipped awoman the bird after sheasked him to get off hiscellphone while driving,he called 911 after being“accosted” by CBC’s ThisHour has 22 Minutes com-edy news show and he’sbeen accused of allegedlytouching former Mayorrival Sarah Thomson inap-

propriately while at apolitical dinner. Earlierthis year he faced a conflictof interest challenge thatsaw a judge order him tobe removed from office.He appealed and won. Healso had a defamation law-suit dismissed. The listgoes on.While this all seems to be

a giant nightmare, thereare two bright spots in allof this. One: I’ll bet MikeDuffy is feeling just a*wee* bit better about him-self right about now. Andtwo: at least the Leafsaren’t Toronto’s biggestembarrassment anymore.

YOUR VIEWSIn honour of Remembrance Day 2013, the Chetwynd 258 Royal

Canadian Air Cadet Squadron submitted these Letters to the Editor:To the Editor:Remembrance Day is a

poignant reminder to peo-ple of those who lost theirlives during service in thewarRemembrance Day has

always been an importantday to me. When I was inkindergarten it was my

very first remembranceday assembly there wasabout 7 veterans who toldthere story's of war andhow hard times werewhen they were fightingover seas for our country.6 years later we have noveterans at our assembly.Just 7 chairs in the back

the stage, empty I thoughtit was some kind of jokebut the had all passedaway. It made me think inthe next 20 years or so willyoung kids even knowwhat rememberance dayis? What its purpose is,what the poppy resem-bles? Will they know the

poem "Flanders Fields"?Remembrance Day is

also known as Poppy Dayor Armistice Day is amemorial day in countriessince the end of WorldWar I to remember themembers of their armedforces who had fought andwere killed in the war.

Remembrance Day isobserved on 11 Novemberto recall the end of hostili-ties of War I on that datein 1918.

THE POPPYIn Flanders fields there

was few poppies untilduring the fighting whenthe chalk soils became rich

in lime from rubble, allow-ing poppies to thrive.thered flower quickly becamethe symbol for soldierswho died in battle.In thispoem, the significance ofthe poppy as A symbol tothe fallen soliders inWW1.

Cpl. Zoe Boudreault

To the Editor:Remembrance Day is a

day we all remember thosewho have died for us andthose who have survived inthe war. It’s a day when wethank them for fighting forus. Protecting our countryjust for us to live a long andpeaceful life.We wear a poppy to show

the respect we have to showfor the soldiers that havedied for us. Think of all thebrave soldiers that lost theirfriends. They did this toprotect our country andhave that freedom. Whatthey had to go through tofight for us.When our teachers tell us

to have a moment ofsilence, what do you thinkabout? Do you think aboutthe things people did forus? Do you think aboutwhat they went through?Or did you just stand thereand think about nothing?Some people don’t even

care about RemembranceDay and are happy to get aday off work. Sometimeswe might be too busy tostop and have a moment ofsilence at 11 a.m. Some of usdon’t think about the condi-tions they breathed in, sleptin, ate in.We don’t know what their

families were thinking, or ifthey were waiting for a let-ter from their dad’s.Some of the families prob-

ably didn’t know if theirfamily members were stillalive or what they had to gothrough from all the traumaof being in war.So take the time to have a

moment of silence and buya poppy because we knownothing of what they wentthrough the lease we coulddo is show some respect.We should never forget

what Remembrance Daymeans.

Hannah Harrot, RCAC 258

To the Editor:Remembrance Day to me means

to remember the brave soldiersthat fought in the wars like the warof 1812, WWI and WWII. The rea-son why they fought in the wars isbecause they were fighting for ourfreedom.There are a lot of men and

women from the wars that are heretoday. If those men and women

didn’t fight, we wouldn’t have afree country like the one we havenow. So we remember and honourthese men and women onRemembrance Day.On Remembrance Day we wear

a poppy to remember the veteranswho gave their lives for us. Theyalso made a poem on the soldiersand the poppies we wear today.Remembrance Day isn’t just

about remembering wars; it’sabout remembering the soldiersthat died to protect our country.There are many wars our soldiersfought.Lots of people might have had

family members in the wars sothat’s why lots of people remem-ber on Remembrance Day.

Hunter Ocheltree, RCAC 258

To the Editor:Remembrance day is a

way to thank the soldierswho died for our freedom.It is also a day that youremember how bad was isfor the world. This day isvery important because Ithank the soldiers whogave us our freedom.As a cadet, I will march

in the parade honouringthose brave men andwomen. I will stand atattention in their honour.November 11 is veryimportant, not only doyou get a day off school,you can honour the heroeswho fought for us and ourfreedom.On November 11 at 11

o’clock, we will standwith our heads bowed insilence for those bravemen and women.Canada has participated

in many famous wars. Forexample, WWI, WWII, thewar of 1812, the Gulf War,the Boer War, the Koreanwar, the French IndianWar and Afghanistan.

No matter what wartheir from, we will honourthose who fought for thecountry we have now.This country is so greatbecause of them.Thank you to all mili-

tary people, past and pres-ent.

DAWSON CREEKDAILY NEWS

––––––––––––––DAWSON CREEK –

Despite the recommenda-tion from rural directors torescind controversialbuilding bylaw 1996 2011,it's still unclear whether or

not there is a majority ofcouncillors who are will-ing to rescind the bylaw.Three rural directors

have said that they plan tovote to rescind the bylaw,and three urban directorshave said that they plan tovote in similar fashion. The

fourth rural director,Wayne Hiebert, wouldhave given the "rescind"group a majority vote, buthis resignation Wednesdayhas thrown the issue backinto the air.First off, whether any

one of the remaining direc-

tors will vote to rescind thebylaw is still unclear at thispoint.Four of the directors con-

tacted by the DawsonCreek Daily News said theywere undecided, while thetwo remaining directorsdid not return calls askingfor comment on how theyplanned to vote.The bylaw would require

areas that previously didnot require developmentpermits to do so, in additionto other codes that build-ings would have to meet.The PRRD held a series

of meetings all summerwith rural residents. Atthese meetings, many resi-dents expressed their dis-pleasure with the bylaw.Eventually, the matter wasgiven to the rural directorsto rewrite the bylaw, butthey recommended votingit down completely.Three rural directors -

PRRD Chair KarenGoodings, JerrilynSchembri and ArthurHadland - have all said pre-viously that they will voteto rescind the buildingbylaw. Urban directorsBruce Christiansen, GwenJohansson and Gerta Kutalso said that they wantedthe bylaw to be rescinded."I would be voting to

rescind it," saidChristiansen, noting that hepreviously made an earliermotion to rescind the bylaw."I expect to vote to rescind

it," Johansson said. "It'sbecome very clear that (thebuilding bylaw) is notdesigned for rural areas."Kut, who represents

Pouce Coupe on thePRRD, also said that she"would like to rescind it."

"It used to be a farmer'swife," she said. "For farm-ers, it seems out of bounds."The decision only

requires one more vote tobe rescinded, but it's stillunclear whether or not anyof the urban directors willvote to do so.Former Area D Director

Wayne Hiebert said that hewould vote to rescind thebylaw. However, Hieberttendered his resignationfrom the PRRD board onWednesday. (See page 17)And his replacement,Leonard Hiebert (no rela-tion) is still unsure as tohow he would vote on thematter."I would have to say I'm

against it in one aspect andfor it in another," he said.Leonard Hiebert said that

he planned to have a meet-ing with Wayne Hiebert todiscuss the bylaw further.Chetwynd Mayor Merlin

Nichols did not saywhetheror not he would vote infavour of or against thebylaw, saying he's "nevermade a practice" of tellingpeople how he would voteat an upcoming meeting.And Taylor Mayor Fred

Jarvis said that while hewould vote on the measure,

he has not decided one wayor the other."I'm waiting until the

meeting comes, then you'llhear the decision," he said.Jarvis said he wanted to

make his decision after afull discussion has hap-pened with the rest of thePRRD board."I'm sure there are going

to be severe changes (tothe bylaw), if nothingelse," he added. "There arethings we have to do forthe whole general public,not just the people whodon't want change."Dawson Creek Mayor

Dale Bumstead also saidhe had not made up hismind one way or the other.Bumstead said he has onlyattended one PRRD meet-ing so far."I really haven't had that

conversation with theother directors (about thebylaw)," he said.Calls to the remaining

directors - Fort St. JohnMayor Lori Ackerman andTumbler Ridge directorMike Caisley - were notreturned as of press time.However, Ackerman hasbeen a vocal supporter ofkeeping the bylaw in pastboard meetings.

Association of Canadian Pipelineoperators says the CBC misled the public

on pipeline incidents in online reportBY MIKE CARTER

Chetwynd Echo Reporter––––––––––––––

CALGARY – TheCanadian Energy PipelineAssociation (CEPA) saysan online report, pub-lished by the CanadianBroadcast Corporation(CBC), which uses dataobtained from theNational Energy Board, ismisleading to the public.The CBC exclusive web

report indicated thatBritish Columbia washome to the most pipelinesafety incidents since 2000.According to the

National Energy Board(NEB) documentsobtained by CBC News,there were 279 “incidents”involving pipelines in B.C.between 2000 and 2012Agraphic accompanying

the online report indicatesthe most severe oil and gasspills occurred aroundFort St. John, Chetwynd,Dawson Creek, and MetroVancouver.The association, which

represents Canada’s trans-mission pipeline compa-nies, says the report triesto pass off data unrelatedto the product carried inpipelines, as representa-tive of failures in pipelinesafety.However, the CBC

report does point to thefact that, according to dataprovided to it by theNational Energy Board,leaks and spills directlyassociated with pipelineoperations have tripled.In the end, it may be a

heightened awareness ofwhat companies need to

report, and improvementsto the overall reportingsystem that have lead tothis increase.“Incidents” can include

anything from a fire orexplosion, to a spill leak,worker fatality or seriousinjury.“The information con-

tained in the CBC report isnot an accurate representa-tion of what’s happeningwithin our industry,” saidBrenda Kenny, presidentand chief executive officerat CEPA.“The number of inci-

dents reported includeseverything and anything –not just pipeline inci-dents.”The CBC report in the

form of an infographic,shows all incidents on fed-erally regulated pipelines

that have taken place overthe past twelve years.“This could include a

worker slipping andfalling or a tree droppingon a power line next to ameter station. Neither ofthose incidents involvepipelines or the productthey carry,” CEPA said.But it is hard to ignore

what the CBC report doespoint to.Among the findings in

the documents obtainedby the CBC, the NationalEnergy Board’s (NEB)database shows there hasbeen a three-fold increasein the rate of productreleases ranging fromsmall leaks and spills, thathave been released in thelast decade.Nathan Lemphers, a sen-

ior policy analysts for the

Pembina Institute whoseresearch has focused onthe liability managementof oil sands mines, the eco-nomics of the proposednorthern gatewaypipeline, and the macro-economic effects of oilsands development saysthis CBC report could wellhave uncovered sometroubling signs.“The pipelines that are

in the ground are gettingolder and in some casesthere’s more productsflowing through them so,you’re going to seeincreasing incidents andincreasing defects in thosepipelines unless they’reproperly maintained,Lemphers told the CBC in

An online exclusive report published by CBC on Oct. 28 points to spills and leaksincreasing three-fold in the last 12 years. The National Energy Board (NEB) says therise in reported spills and leaks and other “incidents” may be the result of a height-ened awareness among pipeline companies of what they need to report.

BC Liberal Governmentcaucus announced thisweek that it would beproviding $218,954 toSchool District 59 for thepurchase of two schoolbuses.Both buses will be capa-

the buses in spring 2014.Candy Clouthier direc-

buses with new ones Iimportant, especiallywith the distances andweather conditions herein our region,” said MikeBernier, MLA for PeaceRiver South, adding“transportation is soimportant for rural chil-dren.”The announcement for

provided under the fleetrenewal program for atotal purchase of 96 newbuses.For the last three years,

the Ministry of Educationhas worked with theAssociation of SchoolTransportation ServicesBritish Columbia to pur-chase school buses usingwhat is called theStanding Offer Pricing.This pricing model

allows the ministry andthe Association to obtainbase market pricing on allbus sizes and all busoptions from bus manu-facturers or vendors.“Previously, districts

negotiated with busproviders individually,” aspokesperson with theministry said.“It’s important to note

that the province does notpurchase buses in bulk,rather [they are] negotiat-ing detailed specificationswith vendors, allowingdistricts to choose busesto their specifications at aset price.”Public schools, contrac-

tors, independent schoolsand First Nations schoolstake advantage of thispricing which has result-ed in savings of 10 to 15per cent each year, whilealso saving significantamounts of administra-tive and staff time, thegovernment says“These new buses will

provide safe, comfortabletransportation for stu-dents while loweringoperating costs for dis-tricts and ensuring thatthese savings can bedirected into classrooms,”Minister of EducationPeter Fassbender said.

the report.Still, the CBC has admitted that in its

methodology, some information was miss-ing from the NEB documents.“We can only stand by our numbers,”

CEPA’s CEO Brenda Kenny said. “Weannually collect information from ourmembers and aggregate those numbers toprovide a clear picture.”The National Energy Board says the rise

in incidents could be attributed to theheightened awareness among companiesabout what they need to report.“We’ve been out there talking with

industry associations and the companiesthemselves to ensure that they are fullyaware of what the reporting requirementsare,” the NEB’s business leader for opera-

tions, Patrick Smythe told the CBC.“I think that’s why we’re seeing an

increase right now,” he added.Kenny added that the request made by

CBC for people to provide their own expe-riences and personal recollections ofpipeline incidents in CEPA’s view, maycause confusion between the role of thepublic and the role of the National EnergyBoard.“CEPA welcomes factual stories and

experiences from the public. Ourmembersroutinely meet with landowners to ensurethey remain responsive to their needs,”Kenny stated. “However, the role of theregulator, as an unbiased, neutral party, isto collect information regarding pipelineincidents. The regulator will use the infor-mation it collects to make decisions thatare in the best interest of all Canadians.”

REMEMBRANCE DAY 2013

Korean War Vet reflects on themeaning of Remembrance Day

Korean War veteran BobShirley holds a picture ofhimself 60 years ago inBorden, Ontario. Bobserved two years with theAir Force. He joinedthree weeks before theKorean ArmisticeAgreement was signed,never seeing any action.

––––––––––––––CHETWYND –

Chetwynd resident BobShirley shudders at thethought of RemembranceDay 20 years from now.Shirley joined the Royal

Canadian Air Force threeweeks before the armisticein Korea. He never wentoverseas, but lost six closefriends in pilot training.What he fears is that a

younger generation ofCanadians will not remem-ber the sacrifices Canadianmen and women madeduring WWI, WWII, and inthe Korean War.“I think they will forget,”

he says. “You ask any of thekids in high school today atthe assembly, how manyCanadians served in theFirst World War, theywouldn't have a clue. Therewas 600 Canadians died inthe Korean War, 32,000

wounded. Kids today don’tunderstand that there waseven a Korean war.”This past year marked

the 60th anniversary of thesigning of the Armistice toend the war in Korea. It isoften referred to as “TheForgotten War”.On top of that, Canadian

veterans are a dying breed,he says, and when they aregone, how will we remem-ber them and the sacrificesthey have made?

Hopefully, through thestories of veterans like Boband the others that haveserved.“Remembrance Day is

about remembering thepast, unfortunately there isso few left to discuss thepast.”

BOB’S STORYBob comes from a mili-

tary family. He had oneuncle in WWI, and hisfather served in WWIIalong with three other

uncles, one who was a tailgunner, and two who werein the army.The uncle that served in

WWI was only 16 yearsold when he had his legsheared from his bodywhile fighting in France.It would seem that with

this type of family history,he would have joined as apoint of pride. But instead,he joined on a whim in1953.“After graduation, my

buddy and I hitch hikedfrom Duncan to Victoriafor something to do,” hesaid. “We had ten cents inour pocket. We were walk-ing down the street inVictoria and there was anAir Force recruiting officerand he said, ‘come on overhere boys’. We were 18years old. He said, ‘I willgive you $90 each right

the regular Air Forceground crew as an officercadet, and transferred toaircrew training shortlybefore the KoreanArmistice Agreement wassigned. “They didn't need any

more pilots so a bunch ofus were offered either gettransferred to Germany orget a ten-year dischargeand you are on call for tenyears. I didn't want to goto Germany. That was theCold War period and theRussian tanks werefrom13 northern Spain allthe way to Norway, everytwenty feet. So I came backhome.”Having never seen any

action, Bob consideredhimself lucky. For 40 years, after mov-

ing to Chetwynd in 1967,Shirley spoke at the localschool assemblies aroundthis time of the year. “Years ago you’d talk

about the wars and thebad times,” he said. “Inthe last ten years, I com-pletely switched. I don’t

want to talk about waranymore to students Iwanted to talk about themilitary.”This year when he was

asked, he declined tospeak. “I don’t want to go, it

brings back too many

memories. A lot of our vet-erans won't go toRemembrance Day. To theparade or the cenotaph,”Shirley remarked. “It's toomentally hard on themand I am finding it thesame because I lost bud-dies during training, six ofthem actually in pilottraining.”This Remembrance Day,

remember to thank a vet-eran for the sacrifices theymade so we can enjoy thefreedoms we have today.Remind your children tothank a veteran, andremind them of why theyshould do so. It’s true that those who

forget the past are doomedto repeat it. Lest We Forget.

On managing ourexpectations. Justwhat do we

expect? What should weexpect?I recently heard a report

on managing expectationsand it kept me up in thenight. In fact, I got out ofbed at two a.m. wideawake and ready to getthings done. At four I wasstill awake and workingbut went back to bed onprinciple. Morning comessoftly at the same time no

matter how much work weput behind us in the quietof the night.A few months ago I

wrote a piece on the needto get our act together ifwe intended to benefitfrom the alleged supermarket for liquefied natu-ral gas in Asia. If we aresincerely interested indraining off our naturalgas reserves to flamingAsian markets, it is evenmore important today toget our act together quick-ly. (I am not advocating for

or against fracking orpumping water out of oursurface and sub-surfaceaquifers. I am simply say-ing that the day is farspent and there are other

players active in the busi-ness.)Potential buyers of BC

gas in Asia are not naïve.They are shrewd, experi-enced business promoterswho usually get what theywant. They know how toplay the field and get themost for their yen (Japan),renminbi (China), ringgit

(Malaysia), and rupee(India) and we shouldnever assume that they aresimply waiting for the gasto start flowing so they canstart paying.There are other potential

suppliers including near-by Russia, a variety ofStans, and Mongolia andChina no doubt have shalegas potential only waitingto be exploited. WesternChina with the greatexpanse of Sinkiang thatabsorbs the outflow ofHimalayan snow wouldbe an ideal, out-of-sightlocation to explore forshale gas, and the vastMongolian plains are justover the wall.My point is that if we

intend to sell gas in Asia

we had better get seriousabout it. By the time apipeline reaches from theRussian steppes to thegreat cities of China; by thetime a shale gas industry isdeveloped in China, Asiacould be dictating theprice of BC gas.Maybe we should be

working, not just thinking,toward a robust internalmarket for our gasreserves. Clean energy isnot the issue. We allbreathe the same air andCO2 vented in Asia is inour noses within a week.It is hypocritical to preachclean energy and drag ourfeet on using our own gaswhile panting to sell it inAsia.Think of the potential:

gas fired power plants, gaspowered transportation(busses, ships, trucks).Maybe we have almostenough potential con-sumers in house to main-tain a natural gas industrythat supports a healthylifestyle here in the northeast.On managing our expec-

tations? I think we have tobe realistic as well asaggressive as we plan forour futures and work toachieve our dreams.

Prince Rupert Gas Transmission Ltd. (Proponent), a wholly owned subsidiary of TransCanada PipeLines Limited, is proposing the Prince Rupert Gas Transmission Project (proposed Project), an approximately 900 km natural gas pipeline from near the District of Hudson’s Hope to the proposed Pacific NorthWest LNG liquefied natural gas export facility on Lelu Island, within the District of Port Edward.

The proposed Project would involve the construction and operation of a 48-inch (1,219 mm) diameter pipeline, metering facilities at the receipt and delivery points, and three compressor stations, with provision for up to an additional five compressor stations to allow for future expansion. The proposed Project will have an initial capacity of approximately 2.0 billion cubic feet (bcf)/day with potential for expansion to approximately 3.6 bcf/day.

The proposed Project is subject to review under BC’s Environmental Assessment Act.

The Proponent must obtain an environmental assessment certificate before any construction work can be undertaken on the proposed Project. However, before submission of an application (Application) for a certificate by the Proponent, the BC Environmental Assessment Office (EAO) must first issue the Application Information Requirements.

The Application Information Requirements will specify the studies to be conducted and the detailed information to be provided by the Proponent in its Application. EAO has now received draft Application Information Requirements from the Proponent and invites comments on this draft.

To provide information about the Application Information Requirements, EAO invites the public to attend an open house at the following locations:

There are 30 days for the submission of comments by the public in relation to the draft Application Information Requirements.

The public comment period will begin on November 19, 2013 and end on December 18, 2013. All comments received during this time in relation to the Application Information Requirements will be considered.

The intention of seeking public comment is to ensure that sufficient information is provided to assess all potential effects – environmental, economic, social, heritage and health – that might result from the proposed Project in the Application. At this stage of the process, the primary intent is to receive feedback about the studies or information required for a comprehensive environmental assessment.

After taking public comments into account, EAO will issue the Application Information Requirements. EAO accepts public comments by:

Online Form: http://www.eao.gov.bc.ca

Mail: Nathan Braun Project Assessment Manager Environmental Assessment Office PO Box 9426 Stn Prov Govt Victoria BC V8W 9V1

Fax: 250.387.0230

An electronic copy of the Application Information Requirements and information regarding the environmental assessment process are available at www.eao.gov.bc.ca. Copies of the Application Information Requirements are also available for viewing at public libraries in Fort St. John, Taylor, Hudson’s Hope, Chetwynd, Mackenzie, Prince George, Fort St. James, Granisle, Smithers, Hazelton, Terrace, Stewart and Prince Rupert.

If you are unable to participate at this time, there will be an additional comment period during the Application review stage when you will also be able to provide comments to the EAO on the proposed Project.

ing a video tribute byCHET TV that detailed thehistory of the department.“That really brings it

home,” said South PeaceMLA Mike Bernier, whowas a special guest at theball. “It was a great night and

a great turn out. One thing Ilove about living up northin smaller communities isthe stories and how a lot of

the same people thathelped build the communi-ty are the ones that are outvolunteering.”Bernier added, “when

you have people who werethere right from the start,there are some amazingstories. I think most what Igot out of that video andout of the evening, was thecamaraderie between all ofthe members over theyears. They put their liveson the line. They need to

trust each other and theyneed to be comfortablewith each other and youdefinitely saw that in theroom.”The annual McNobb

award was presented toDana Wilfur. The “award”as it is jokingly called, isgiven to one firefighter whohad messed up in a big wayover the past year. It wascreated by past fire ChiefMcNabb. This special 50th anniver-

sary ball brought togetherpast members of the firedepartment with their cur-rent counterparts, and evensaw some rookie initiation.Rookie members of the

department were pittedagainst some members ofthe local RCMP detach-ment in a nail-biting eventthat had blind folded, barefoot participants drive aspike into a log with theblade end of an axe. The twist, their socks

were lined neatly at thebase of the spike, and wereliterally in pieces frommissed attempts when allwas said and done. Newsocks were kindly provid-ed. Following the meal, and

the presentation of theawards, a special 50thanniversary quilt, donatedby Theresa and DennisWalker was raffled offalong with a gift basketfilled with plenty of alco-holic treats. Funds raised from the

raffle were donated toMuscular Dystrophyresearch.
