A forensic pathologist testi� ed Wednesday that Loren Donn Leslie, 15, died from a combination of blood loss and brain injury as a result of “blows to the side of the head and a [deep] puncture wound to the neck.”

Under direct questioning from Crown prosecutor Joseph Temple, Dr. John Stefanelli of Kamloops said “that central puncture wound went deep.”

Indeed, it caused damage to the voice box (larynx) and al-though no major neck vessels such as carotoid arteries were involved, other small arteries and veins were, he said.

“It was a serious wound that caused a signi� cant amount of bleeding.”

He told the 14-person B.C. Supreme Court jury:“With medical attention, the [neck] wound would have

been survivable … without medical attention (or applying pressure) it would have been fatal.”

The pathologist described, in detail, injuries shown in photographs taken during the Dec. 2, 2010 autopsy includ-ing those to Leslie’s hands, which Stefanelli said were con-sistent with defensive wounds, several cuts and bruises, bro-

ken nose bone – she’d been “struck quite hard on the front of her face, at least once,” he said.

Further, Leslie had swollen and broken � ngers on her left hand which appeared to have been “stomped on.”

Leslie’s body was found off Hwy. 27 November 27, 2010.Cody Legebokoff, now 24, is standing trial in Prince

George charged with killing Leslie as well as three other area women, Jill Stuchenko, Cynthia Maas and Natasha Montgomery.

Testifying on Day 8 of the trial, Stefanelli said that with respect to Leslie’s head wounds, he could not quantify the force used to in� ict them.

“It’s a signi� cant amount of force, obviously,” he said.Looking at one photo, the pathologist shook his head,

then explained he’d had to shave the right side of Leslie’s head in order to view and examine the extent of the wounds. His voice softened.

“She had quite lovely … long hair – that’s why it’s not there,” he said.

Towards the end of his questions, Temple asked Stefanelli

if he believed the injuries to Leslie could have been self-in� icted.

“I don’t think that is possible,” the pathologist said.He noted that Leslie had at least three blows to the head

which caused deep cuts – any one of which would have had incapacitating effects on her and rendering her unable to per-form the other injuries found on her body “no matter in what order.”

Given the puncture wounds and hand injuries [including fractures to her � ngers] when you add those factors together, he said, “I don’t think she would have been capable of doing them to herself.”

Cross-examination of Stefanelli is expected to begin Thursday morning.

None of the allegations against Legebokoff have been proven in court. The trial began on June 2 and for the � rst few days at least saw national media and a full gallery in attendance. B.C. Supreme Court Justice Glen Parrett is pre-siding over the case which is expected to last six months or more.

On June 3, the new Canadian Men’s Health Foundation was of� cially launched on Parliament Hill, with the mission to in-spire Canadian men to live healthier lives. Along with that, their “Don’t Change Much” campaign was released, and June 9 – 15 has been declared as the � rst ever Canadian Men’s Health Week. This is another step in bringing much needed attention to the health issues affecting men and the challenges we face in accessing men with our current health services.

Men’s health isn’t a new topic in northern B.C. In fact, we’ve been working to support better health for our northern men since 2010, using new and innovative ways to � nd and connect with them about health where they live, work, learn, play and are cared for. Our northern reality is that many of our men here live and work in more rural and remote locations, hold jobs related to industry (forestry, oil and natural gas), and work long hours and shift work – often away from the family home base.

Northern Health’s men’s health program, unique for a Ca-nadian health authority and launched in 2011, was born out of the recognition that northern B.C. men not only die sooner than northern women by almost 5 years, they also die more fre-quently of all causes including cancer, heart disease, alcohol, tobacco, injuries and suicides. B.C. men are twice as likely as women to be non-users of the health services and although

northern B.C. makes up only 7% of the province’s population, we account for over a third of the workplace deaths, where 94% of those were men.

In the last three years, the men’s health program has done a lot of work consulting with men in communities across the north and creating resources and services to meet their needs. Most notably, we have brought men’s health screening to community events and gatherings where the men are, engaged with research partners around men’s health in the workplace, run a number of promotional campaigns (the “MAN chal-lenge”, MOvember, MANuary, FeBROary), provided grants for injury prevention/men’s health champions to do work in the community, created an interactive men’s health website (men.northernhealth.ca), developed the very popular MANu-al: a Men’s Health Survival Guide, and � lmed a documentary called “Where are the Men?”.

Looking forward, our work in men’s health has only just begun! We continue to grow and improve upon the services we offer to men in northern B.C., while sharing the importance of men’s health within the health care system, as well as in communities. We’re working to improve the health of men, because men matter! Let’s celebrate the great work being done and the efforts across Canada to bring men’s health issues to the forefront. Let’s get men talking about their health!

Men, this week’s for you!

In celebration of Clean Air Day, the B.C. govern-ment is renewing its com-mitment to fund success-ful air quality programs, protecting the health of British Columbians, lo-cal communities and the environment.

The BC Lung Asso-ciation has been awarded $200,000 to continue the popular Wood Stove Ex-change Program. Since 2008, the B.C. govern-ment has partnered with the BC Lung Association to encourage British Co-lumbians to replace their old wood stoves for new low-emission appliances. To date, the Province has

New funding to support clean airput $2.28 million towards the program, successfully replacing nearly 6,000 wood stoves.

The Province is also boosting its efforts to raise awareness about climate change by award-ing $100,000 to the Hub for Action on School Transportation Emis-sions (HASTe). An online resource and network-ing program, HASTe helps students, teachers, schools and communi-ties take action to reduce school transportation emissions for the coming year.

An additional $100,000 is being award-ed to the BC Clean Air Research Fund (BC CLEAR), providing re-search grants to academic institutions, government organizations, First Na-tions and consulting organizations in sup-port of strategic air qual-

ity and health research. The � ndings from BC CLEAR have been in-strumental in shaping air quality policies through-out the province.

June 9-15 was proclaimed as Inva-sive Species Week by the B.C. provin-cial government.

The purpose of Invasive Species Week was to promote and raise aware-ness of the economical and environ-mental damage that invasive plants and animals can cause communities.

Since 2012 the provincial govern-ment has provided the Invasive Species Council of B.C. $2.1 million to help prevent aquatic species from enter-ing B.C., as well as to support public awareness pro-grams.

Along with the $2.1 million provided to the Invasive Species Council of B.C., the provincial government, last month, announced that $1.6 million in invasive plant grants have been awarded to 29 re-gional districts, municipalities and invasive species or-ganizations, which includes the Re-gional District of Bulkley-Nechako (RDBN)

That money is in an addition to the $809,000 that the Minister of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Opera-tions has set aside for invasive plant control and management in 2014-2015.

The RDBN has its own Invasive Plant Management Program which is administered by the regional districts’ Environmental Services Department.

As well, the RDBN is a member of the Northwest Invasive Plant Council (NWIPC), which since 2005 has been conducted using a ‘single agency ap-proach.’

“Invasive plant control has been conducted using a ‘single agency ap-proach’ various organizations, includ-ing the Regional District of Bulkley-Nechako, various municipalities, Ministry of Transportation and Infra-structure, Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations, BC Hydro and others, contribute funding to the NWIPC,” Carolynn Lane, Sustain-ability Assistant for the RDBN said.

“The contributed monies are man-aged using a partnership delivery mod-el to achieve on the ground control of invasive plants on each jurisdiction, as well as public awareness, inventory, and assessments. On the ground treat-ments and inventory are conducted by

contractors in each Invasive Plant Man-agement Area.”

The NWIPC covers the area from Valemount to Haida Gwaii and north to the Yukon border, excluding the Peace Region.

Invasive plant programs are de-signed to identify areas where invasive plant species are growing rapidly con-tain and eradicate the area.

The top three invasive plant species in the Burns Lake area include moun-tain bluet, which is highly invasive and displaces natural vegetation, common

tansy, which may be toxic to cattle and displaces natural vegetation and � eld scabi-ous, which com-petes with forage stands and native pastures, caus-ing decline in hay production.

The RDBN has a Landowner Rebate Program where locals can apply for a rebate on the extraction of invasive spe-cies in their home gardens.

This money is set aside by the NWIPC for each member.

The applicants jurisdiction de-

pends on the maximum amount that they could be refunded for the cost.

Burns Lake residents can receive up to a $500 rebate if their application is accepted.

Along with concern over invasive plant species the week targeted the edu-cation of harmful aquatic invasive spe-cies.

This focused mainly on the potential to transport these species by recreation-al boaters.

The Invasive Species Council of B.C. programs, such as the ‘Clean, Drain, Dry’ program target the educa-tion of recreational boaters.

This program encourages boaters to clean, drain and dry equipment, boats, motors, trailers, bait buckets and pets of aquatic debris before leaving a lake or body of water.

Those who fail to do so face stiff penalties.

In 2012, an amendment to the alien species regulations ensures that boaters clean all boats or related equipment to prevent the spread of species, such as quagga mussels.

Those who fail to do so face � nes of up to $100,000.

Minister of Forests, Lands and Nat-ural Resource Operations, Steve Thom-son encourages British Columbians to

Educating communities against unwanted nuisancesInvasive plant and animal species are

the target of public education

educate themselves about these species.“During Invasive Species Week, I encourage Brit-

ish Columbians to learn more about these damaging plants and animals and actions that anyone can take to limit their spread,” Thomson said, “I encourage citi-zens to use the Report-A-Weed app, and I encourage boat owners to ensure they ‘clean, drain and dry’ their boats before launching in B.C.’s lakes and rivers.”

In 2012, Burns Lake had a clean station for boats that was part of a pilot program.

The station is no longer there as the focus has shift-

ed more towards the education of local boaters to the harms of invasive species.

The Regional District of Bulkley-Nechako en-courages anyone that sees invasive plants to call the Northwest Invasive Plant Council’s hotline at 1-866-44WEEDS(93337).

Boaters can learn more about the Invasive Spe-cies Council of B.C.’s ‘Clean, Drain, Dry’ program at www.bcinvasives.ca/programs/aquatics.

“The good news is that the average life expectancy of men diagnosed with prostate can-cer has increased signi� cantly in the past three decades,” said Health Minister Terry Lake who made the announcement at the of� cial launch of the Canadian Men’s Health Foundation in Ot-tawa. “But battling the disease takes a tremendous toll on pa-tients and their families. This program will help them access support and services that will help improve their quality of life and guide them through the

process of managing their care.” The Prostate Cancer Sup-

portive Care Program is being developed by the Vancouver Prostate Centre and will in-clude up to ten modules that, once completed, will be dis-tributed to centres throughout the province in order to bene� t the greatest number of men and families. The goals of the pro-gram include support for treat-ment decision, improved quality of life, reducing cost per patient and improving long-term health outcomes for patients.

“We have come a long way in the treatment of prostate can-cer with more men getting di-agnosed early and living longer than ever before,” said Dr. Larry Goldenberg, director of devel-opment and supportive care at the Vancouver Prostate Cen-tre and founder and chairman

of the board of the Canadian Men’s Health Foundation, Dr. Larry Goldenberg. “With more patients living longer, we now have a greater responsibility to help them and their families’ access services and information that will ensure they are living cancer-free for longer.”

This funding provides more support for men’s health in Brit-ish Columbia. In April, 2013, the Ministry of Health announced $5 million to help develop re-search and health promotion that supports the well-being of men and their families.

The Vancouver Prostate Cen-tre is a world-class cancer facil-ity and a national centre of ex-cellence providing clinical care for thousands of men in British Columbia. The combination of a large patient clinic and re-search facility make them the

Funding supports prostate cancer patients to help better manage their care

largest program of its kind in Canada.

David Black’s convocation speech...Chancellor (Murray Farmer), President (Jamie Cassels), Graduat-

ing Scholars, to whom I offer my congratulations, Faculty, family and friends...

Today is a great day for me. The doctorate is a wonderful honour from a University I have watched grow and � ourish into a world-ranked institu-tion. It is also embarrassing because I don’t feel my work is completed yet. Nevertheless, I would like to pass on to the graduating class some lessons I have learned thus far in my career in the hopes they may be of some use.

My story is not complex. I received an Engineering degree from UBC and an MBA from Ivey in London. In 1975 I started my own business by buying a small weekly newspaper in Williams Lake. Over the years with the help of a terri� c wife, a father who mentored me, and the hard work of a great many employees, we have grown to 200 publications with revenues of half a billion dollars.

I had no plan in 1975 to grow the business like this. My only thought was to publish the best paper I could. I worked long hours because we were in debt and we had a growing family. Over time I came to be an expert in every phase of the business. Because of that I fell in love with publishing.

My � rst career lesson for you then, is just show up. If you are like I was at your age you have no idea what career will appeal to you. You don’t have to know. Just dive into something. Work hard. The more skill you develop the more you will enjoy the work. You will know when or if it is time to move on to something else.

I mentioned my wife and father and what a help they were to me. My second piece of advice is to surround yourself with bright people, both as workmates and friends. Listen to them and help them in return.

With my four children on our companies’ Boards of Directors and an excellent management team in place I thought, now that I am over 65, I would be easing back somewhat, enjoying more sailing, and babysitting grandchildren. My only real career regret was that I hadn’t had a chance to practice any engineering.

It’s funny how life unfolds. Instead, over the last two years I have em-barked on one of the biggest engineering projects in Canada’s history and I am working harder than ever. When not working on Black Press I am

consumed by trying to build a BC oil re� nery, pipeline and tanker � eet at a total cost of $32 billion. So my third career message for you is that you cannot know your future. By all means plan. But don’t assume things will go as expected.

I will tell you a little about the re� nery project because it leads to my � nal and most important piece of advice. The project is called Kit-imat Clean. The re� nery will con-vert Alberta’s bitumen to gasoline and diesel, products which � oat and evaporate if there is a spill at sea. Bitumen acts differently. If it is spilled off our coast it will sink and we won’t be able to recover it. It will also blanket the intertidal zone and we won’t be able to remove it. The damage could last for hundreds of years. I got into this project to help ensure this doesn’t happen.

A world-scale re� nery has other great advantages for us all: it will create 10,000 new permanent jobs in BC and it will generate billions of dollars of new taxes annually for government coffers.

My children and I are concerned about the environment like most of you are, so we decided to spend an extra $3 billion to build the re� nery with new Canadian technology, cut-ting CO2 emissions by 5 million tonnes per year. This is equivalent to avoiding the annual emissions of 1.2 million cars. The re� nery will be so clean it will more than com-pensate for the extra CO2 emissions in the oilsands.

Clearly we need to ratchet down our use of fossil fuels. But that does not in� uence whether to build a re-� nery in Canada. Asia needs more re� ned fuel every year. If we don’t build the re� nery in Canada it will be built in Asia. By shipping our bitumen to Asia for re� ning, we not only put the ocean at risk and lose the enormous value-add bene� ts, the planet will end up with twice the CO2 emissions.

Unfortunately for a variety of reasons our big oil companies are not interested in a new Canadian re-� nery. The president of one of our largest oil companies told me that

he agrees it is viable to re� ne bitu-men in Canada, and that it is nation building at its best, but that no oil company in Alberta will do it. In fact some oppose it.

So it came down to this. If I thought it important enough, I would have to spearhead it. That is what I am doing. I hope by set-ting high standards we can show the way forward for responsible man-agement of Canada’s bitumen from an economic and an environmental point of view.

My � nal message to you today is simple. When your big challenge or opportunity arises do the same. Do it better. When you know something is wrong step up. Take a risk. Chal-lenge tradition and � ght vested in-terests. Use your education, experi-ence and networks in a positive way to bene� t yourself and your family of course, but whenever you can al-ways try to improve the the world around you as well. The satisfaction that gives you will ful� ll you.

Go to it graduates and best wish-es for the future.

Black Press chairman David Black receives his honorary degree from the University of Victoria.

What’s the deal with stress being such a big part of our lives? Has it always been this way? You would think living in the industrialized part of the world, with so many conveniences we should be the least stressed people out there.It doesn’t make sense to be so stressed does it? Yet it happens anyway, whether its money, work, school, family, friends, or that movie with that really bad ending causing you all that stress.. for some people just the color of their car is enough to cause them stress. So here is the plan. First, realize that most stress in life can be changed, if not the situation, you can change your outlook and yourself. Understand the situation as well as the part you and your mind play in it, in the long run this is what will help stress have less of a hold on you.If you can do something about what’s causing you stress, then DO IT, if you can’t then stress won’t help resolve the situation … so don’t stress… easier said than done for some!But other great ways to de-stress include:· Deep breathing· Meditation or prayer· Take time for yourself – perhaps a cup of herbal tea can help you de-stress· Eat well and your body will work for you· Get plenty of rest and sleep so your body isn’t already starting the day of tired· Exercise releases endorphins – makes you feel good· Visit the spa and get anything done, even getting a pedicure is enough to help you relax· Work in the garden, take up a hobby that relaxes you (if you � nd puzzle frustrating.. maybe a coloring book instead)

Having a hobby you enjoy is important for more than just stress reduction, more about that in our next article.If you need more help in understanding how diet, exercise, herbs and other practices can help with stress feel free to book your appointment today

Stress part 2 - How to Deal?

Police search for suspect following armed robbery

Premier Christy Clark and Ab-original Relations and Reconcili-ation Minister John Rustad joined Aboriginal leaders Friday to sign a memorandum of understanding that con� rms their shared com-mitment to end violence against Aboriginal women and girls.

“We have a responsibility to create a world where all Aborigi-nal people can live without fear,” said Premier Clark. “I’d like to thank all the leaders and mem-bers of the Advisory Council on Aboriginal Women who have worked so tirelessly to take this step forward today. This MOU demonstrates that government and Aboriginal organizations are working together to take positive actions to stop violence against Aboriginal women and girls wherever it occurs.”

The MOU signing was hosted by the First Nations Summit, and the Premier and Rustad were joined by representatives of the Summit, BC Assembly of First Nations, the Union of BC Indian Chiefs and Métis Nation British Columbia, as well as members of the Minister of Aboriginal Rela-tions and Reconciliation’s Advi-sory Council on Aboriginal Wom-en (MACAW) and representatives of First Nations and Aboriginal organizations from throughout B.C.

“Stopping violence against Aboriginal women and girls re-quires shared responsibility, with

shared accountabilities.” said Rus-tad. “Government doesn’t work in a vacuum, and this MOU proves that collaboration and partnership is the right path towards a safer future for Aboriginal women and girls.”

“The extraordinary women who make up the Minister’s Advi-sory Council have done important work over the past few years and it has been an honour to be part of such a dedicated group,” said Wendy Grant John, chair of MA-CAW. “The signing of this MOU is the culmination of one piece of that work and I would like to thank everyone involved for help-ing bring us to this day.”

The work of MACAW and the MOU ties into the provincial government’s throne speech com-mitment to create a long-term, comprehensive strategy to move towards a violence-free B.C. so that all women, including Aborig-inal and vulnerable women, have the supports they need to prevent violence, to escape from violent situations and to recover if they have been victims of crime.

As part of ongoing work with the council, the Province is pro-viding $400,000 to the Giving Voice initiative, which aims to help Aboriginal communities speak out and take action on the issue of violence against women and girls. This funding is in addi-tion to the $120,000 provided to the project in 2013/14.

“It is unacceptable that in this day and age, violence against women and girls, and in particu-lar Aboriginal women and girls, is so proli� c in our society. Unfor-tunately statistics don’t lie, they clearly indicate that Aboriginal women and girls in Canada have a signi� cantly higher risk of be-ing the subject of violence,” said Cheryl Casimer, member of the First Nations Summit political executive.

“This MOU represents a much needed collaborative effort for First Nations, Métis and the pro-vincial government to come to-gether and take concrete actions on stopping violence against Ab-original women and girls.”

“It is my hope that this MOU demonstrates an intent to work to-gether to address the root causes of violence against Aboriginal women and girls - poverty, in-equality, and marginalization - symptomatic of a far greater social malaise that can only be addressed through true reconcilia-tion and dealing with the underly-ing reality of the devastating co-lonial legacy,” said BC Assembly of First Nations Regional Chief Jody Wilson-Raybould. “Societ-ies are judged by how well they treat their most vulnerable and we are no different. We can and must do better.”

“We must support any and all measures designed to protect In-digenous women and girls from

Premier, Aboriginal leaders partner to end violence against Aboriginal women and girls

abuse, violence and exploitation. To be completely effective and success-ful, we must seek to include all voices, groups and parties impacted by this national tragedy”, said Grand Chief Stewart Phillip, President of the UB-CIC.

“Violence against our women and girls is a deplorable and a cowardly act and must not be tolerated,” said Mé-tis Nation British Columbia president Bruce Dumont. “We must continue to

educate our young men against their impulses and our women and girls to be empowered against men who wish to in� ict violence and abuse against them so that this vicious cycle ends and our sons grow to be men who respect women. This memorandum of under-standing is a very important milestone and show of solidarity between our na-tions to bring this issue into the light so our women and our girls no longer suffer in fear.”

The Fun PageARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20People seem to be going out of their way to be nice to you, Aries. While you may suspect they have ulterior motives, their kindness really is nothing more than good will.

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21Taurus, approach your workload with an optimistic atti-tude this week. You can expect your efforts to produce positive results that don’t go unnoticed.

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21It is an uphill battle to focus on chores this week, Gem-ini. You would rather be out having fun, but putting off chores now will only lead to more work down the road.

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22Cancer, although you are capable of keeping up appear-ances this week, you will be lost in your own thoughts. Personal issues prove to be a distraction.

LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23Leo, serve as a diplomat this week, placing yourself in the middle of conflict because you want to help. Keep a level head and don’t get swept into the argument.

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22Virgo, your ability to focus is very strong, but this week you cannot seem to get your mind to cooperate. You may have a million things to think about.

LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23You are tempted to join the party this week, even though you know it is probably a better idea to decline. But the prospect of socializing and having a good time is too tempting.

SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22Scorpio, you often feel uncomfortable when you have too many loose ends. It may take quite a while this week to wrap up all of your obligations before you can relax.

SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21Sagittarius, the more you ponder the decisions you have to make, the more you struggle to determine a positive outcome. Give yourself some breathing room.

CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20Career issues must be dealt with, Capricorn. You may have been running through various options, and if you have reached a decision, then go with your gut instincts.

AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18Aquarius, although everyone around you seems to be stressing out, for some reason you are able to breeze through your days without a worry in the world.

PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20Your intuition is telling you to proceed with caution, Pisces. Watch where you step, but don’t let caution take over your life.

Premier Christy Clark is stepping aside from any decisions related to new oil re� ner-ies after the emergence of a new re� nery pro-posal involving her ex-husband.

Mark Marissen has been hired as vice-president of Paci� c Future Energy, which has announced plans to build an oil re� nery in Prince Rupert.

“I learned that this proposal was going to become something real last week,” Clark said, adding she then contacted the provincial con-� ict-of-interest commissioner for guidance.

Paci� c Future Energy is the latest compa-ny pursuing the idea of re� ning bitumen from the Alberta oil sands before it’s loaded onto tankers so there’s less risk to the marine envi-ronment waters in the event of a spill.

Victoria businessman David Black, owner of Black Press newspapers, has spearheaded a similar re� nery proposal, to be located be-tween Kitimat and Terrace.

Black’s Kitimat Clean plan could use bi-tumen coming from the Northern Gateway pipeline – if it’s built – or else it could aim to build a separate pipeline or use trains carrying oil by rail.

Black continues to seek a $10-billion loan guarantee from the federal government to sat-isfy potential international investors.

Paci� c Future Energy said it plans a sca-leable $10-billion re� nery ranging from

200,000 barrels per day up to one million if required.

Salmer Salameh, the executive chairman of Paci� c Future and the head of a Mexi-can infrastructure conglomerate, called it “a unique opportunity to build the greenest re-� nery in the world.”

The company announced its plan Tuesday and said it’s beginning pre-feasibility studies.

It comes ahead of an imminent decision by the federal government on Enbridge’s proposed Northern Gateway pipeline project, which would carry bitumen to Kitimat for ex-

port by tanker.“It is my understanding that this proposal

doesn’t depend or isn’t linked to any pipeline proposal,” Clark told reporters Tuesday.

She will refer all government deliberations on any re� nery proposal to Finance Minister Mike de Jong.

The con� ict-of-interest rules for MLAs do not speci� cally cover spouses, but say MLAs should recuse themselves if a situation is like-ly to lead to a perception they may personally bene� t.

NDP � nance critic Mike Farnworth called

it the right decision.“It’s important that the premier is held to a

higher standard,” he said.The B.C. Liberals 2013 election platform

backed the concept of Black’s re� nery plan and pledged to support its development.

Black said he met last year with Paci� c Fu-ture’s Mexican backers, who initially wanted to partner with him on the new re� nery.

But he said they were only interested if they got majority control, something Black rejected as against Canada’s interests and potentially leading to reduced environmental safeguards.

“The good news to me is their interest vali-dates our value-added concept for any doubt-ers out there as to whether this is a good busi-ness proposition,” Black said.

“Here’s somebody else who wants to do the same thing.”

There have been no further talks on join-ing forces, he said.

Black said he’s not concerned about pro-vincial bias arising from Marissen’s role.

“I’m not asking the province to pick a fa-vourite or anything but I do hope they endorse the concept and provide funding for the con-cept so we can move ahead.”

Black said he’s been told by federal of-� cials that a loan guarantee from Ottawa is possible – but only if B.C. also backs it.

“It comes down to whether the B.C. gov-ernment is keen on championing this kind of project and has money for it.”

The long-term future of the Dene Aboriginal language will be the topic of discussion at the annual Dene Languages Conference, being held for the first time at UNBC from June 18 to 20.

The conference will bring to-gether linguistic experts and Dene speakers from across North Ameri-ca, including keynote speaker Grand Chief Edward John of the Tl’azt’en Nation, a long-time activist for Ab-original rights.

First Nations language experts Dr. John Alderete of Simon Fraser University, Sharon Hargus from the University of Washington and Pat-rick Moore of University of British Columbia will also give presenta-tions at the conference.

The theme of this year’s Dene Languages Conference is “na whul-na neghuni ulhtus,” which means “While our language is strong.”

“The role of the conference is to provide information about the state of indigenous, and in particular

the Dene, language,” says Antonia Mills, a UNBC professor of First Nations Studies. “A lot of the elders who are fluent in the language are passing on, so this conference helps to understand what can be done to keep the language going and keep the languages alive.”

One of the concepts to be dis-cussed is the language nest: a pre-school where children are immersed in their native language so they can start life with a base of knowledge in their language.

There will also be a performance by the Lheidli T’enneh Khas t’an Drummers and a Dene language children’s singing group from Burns Lake.

“It’s a good combination of ac-tivists from different communities who are presenting,” says Mills. “We’re really looking forward to hosting the conference. It will be a very important event to work on this topic of how to keep the Dene lan-guages alive.”

In Memory of Greg BerosApril 14, 1976 – June 24, 2010

It’s hard to forget SOMEONE who gave you so much to remember.

Colin, Elaine and workers like them are building the Port of Prince Rupert’s Road, Rail, and Utility Corridor. Once the two-year construction project is complete, our gateway will move more cargo to overseas markets. That means jobs and prosperity for people in northern BC. Our terminals may be located in Prince Rupert, but we’re building connections clear across Canada—and the globe. Learn about the value of trade at www.rupertport.com/connections.

Trade connects us.
