Students stage walkout, job action ongoing

By Chelsea Grainger Eagle Valley News

Sudents of Eagle River Secondary skipped out of their classes and let the community know their thoughts on the ongoing teachers dispute on June 3.

Approximately 30 students stood on the street with signs for their own strike action.

Janine Moore, a Grade 11 student, says the students were protesting how unfair

the dispute between the BC Teachers Federation and the government is, as students are missing out on valuable education time.

“I personally agree with what the teachers are striking for, but we shouldn’t be missing out on class time,” said Moore. “Where’s our say in all of this?”

Moore also said that the timing for the strike isn’t favourable due to graduation

ceremonies and exams coming up.

“It’s not fair that the graduates are going to miss out on having their teachers at grad,” said Moore.

Strike on Thursday

Rotating one-day strikes will continue as the province awaits word on whether the BCTF will move to a fullscale walkout. School District #83 teachers will be on

the picket lines Thursday, June 12. As with the previous strikes, parents are asked to make alternate arrangements for their children that day.

Teachers also voted Monday and Tuesday as to whether they support a full-scale walkout. The earliest this could take place is Monday, June 16. Results of the vote were expected Tuesday evening, after the Eagle Valley News’ press deadline.

Council members, staff see value in Niagra Falls conference

By Chelsea Grainger Eagle Valley News

Plans proceed for Malakwa bridge

By Barb Brouwer Eagle Valley News

A project to address the site of many accidents on the Trans-Canada Highway is moving forward.

The Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure (MOTI) announced last Friday that replacement of the

Malakwa Bridge is going out to tender.

Shuswap MLA Greg Kyllo said the province will ante up $22 million and the federal government has agreed to contribute another $13 million, so the project to four-lane the highway and bridge deck can move forward.

“Provided it comes within the budget envelope, the anticipation is a contract will be awarded, with construction starting sometime this year and with completion in 2015,” said Kyllo.

Last summer, MOTI revealed plans to replace the bridge as part

of the B.C. government’s commitment to four-lane the TransCanada between Kamloops and the Alberta border.

During an open house, it was noted 30 collisions occurred on the Malakwa bridge between 2002 and 2011.

Two of those were fatal-

ities, while 12 resulted in injury and 16 in property damage only.

“I think it’s fantastic considering the number of traffic accidents as well as closures,” says Kyllo. “Anything we can do to improve traffic flows and make the road safer is a step in the right direction.”

Shuswap MLA defends Liberal changes to ALC

By Martha Wickett Eagle Valley News

Shuswap MLA Greg Kyllo fully supports the Liberal government’s controversial Bill 24, which divides the Agricultural Land Reserve into two zones.

Kyllo was one of 44 MLAs who voted for the Agricultural Land Commission Amendment Act, which passed in a 44-31 vote on Thursday, June 3 in the B.C. Legislature, after the Liberals shut down debate. The bill eases restrictions on secondary uses of farmland in the North, Kootenay and Interior zones, now Zone 2. Zone 1, made up of Vancouver Island, South Coast and Okanagan, retains the intent of the original ALR, created in 1973.

The bill also changes the Agricultural Land Commission by formalizing the six regional ALC panels to make decisions on exclusions and permitted uses.

Minister of Agriculture, Norm Letnick, states on the B.C. government website that amendments will give the ALC chair more flexibility in referring applications to the ALC’s executive committee, made

up of the chair and six regional vice chairs, for decisions.

“Giving the chair the ability to refer decisions to the ALC executive committee is one more step in ensuring B.C.’s farmland is preserved.

The chair could use it when they believe the application could have substantial impact such as inter-regional significance or major land or large infrastructure considerations, or be types of activities that have not been previously considered,” writes Letnick, who took over in April from MLA Pat Pimm, who is ill.

Critics, including some members of the Columbia Shuswap Regional District’s Grow Shuswap agricultural committee, see the bill as a way to free up land for development, particularly for fracking for liquid natural gas.

Kyllo sees no downside to the bill and maintains it will help families keep farming.

“I think it was a pretty conservative approach. The main focus was definitely on protecting the majority of the areas that are responsible for 85 per cent of the food production in B.C.,” he told

Greg Kyllo Shuswap MLA

the News, adding that areas which will now be considered for non-agricultural uses provide about 15 per cent of farm-gate sales. He said the amended act would help farming parents who wish to entice their children to farm. They might wish to subdivide one quarter of an acre to house their grown children so they could move back to help.

“I don’t think we’re going to see a real endrun on agricultural land like some of the skeptics are maintaining.”

Prior to the amended act, Salmon Arm, however, was already able to take land out of the ALR, with consideration of soil quality, for such uses as the SmartCentres development.

“If there is some opportunity to make some slight improvements and changes, to help protect farming families which are in areas that currently provide only

15 per cent; we’re making a small adjustment to give both the regional panels and the ALC the chance to take a few other things into consideration,” Kyllo said. “I don’t see that as a real dangerous or challenging step.”

He says the oil and gas commission can currently apply to the ALC for pump stations and, regarding pipelines, he doesn’t see them as a threat.

“Pipelines, for one, are buried. They would be remediated and back into full crop production within a couple of years.”

Overall, Kyllo concludes: “I see this as a small step. When the rubber hits the road, when things start coming forward and applications are being made to the commission, I think everybody will sigh a bit

of a sigh of relief.”

Kyllo stresses the independence of the ALC. However, emails have been publicized from Liberal MLA Pat Pimm, who was made Minister of Agriculture by Premier Christy Clark following the last election, which show disdain for an independent commission.

In an email written in July 2012 to MLA Bill Bennett and ALC chair Richard Bullock, Pimm writes: “Every time I try to contact Mr. Bulluch (sic) I am told that he is an arm’s length body and for me to get the hell out of his hair. Who the hell is running our Province anyways?”

Kyllo, however, said he hasn’t read the emails in their entirety, and thinks it’s important the ALC maintains independence from government.

It’s Worth It.

Co-conspirators in gas price gouging A poll conducted by Insights West, in conjunction with Black Press, shows that high gas prices are having a significant effect on people’s day-to-day lives.

Those polled quite correctly identified the two major culprits — all levels of government, through taxation policies; and the oil companies themselves.

B.C.’s gas prices are consistently the highest in the country. This is due solely to taxation. In particular, the provincial carbon tax, which adds almost seven cents per litre to the cost of gasoline, push gas prices much higher than they are in other parts of Canada, and even other parts of B.C. The federal government also takes a large share. It takes 10 cents per litre, plus GST. It actually charges GST on the taxes, as well as the product. This is unfair and should not be permitted. As all taxes are rolled into the price at the pump, many people are unaware of this blatant tax grab.

The federal government is proud of its take. It just announced how it plans to “share” this ill-gotten revenue with local governments over the next 10 years. In other words, there will be no tax relief any time soon on that front.

Those surveyed by Insights West said they are driving less and using transit, or walking, more.

These are reasonable alternatives to high gas prices, but the transit alternative doesn’t work for most residents. The oil companies come in for some criticism from poll respondents, and while it is not all deserved, the companies do not have completely clean hands.

The price of fuel regularly jumps up late at night — for no good reason, other than to force people heading to work in the morning who need gas to pay more. The prices almost always fall by four to five cents a litre by the noon hour.

Those polled say oil companies often raise prices before long weekends — and this too does happen on occasion.

If government wasn’t so complicit in keeping gas prices high, it might be worthwhile to ask it to be more vigilant about some of the obvious unfairness in pricing. But when it comes to gas and diesel prices, all the players, including all levels of government, have dirty hands.

Natural gas: the other pipeline showdown

By Tom Fletcher News Columnist

VICTORIA – The prospect of piping diluted heavy oil across northern B.C. and loading it in tankers has generated significant genuine protests, as well as bursts of celebrity nonsense, rent-a-stunts and instant online petitions.

Natural gas pipelines and export terminals, on the other hand, are generally accepted by the public. Premier Christy Clark staked her political future on developing liquefied natural gas exports, and pulled off an upset election win that not even Clark expected.

Most of the heat she’s taken on that is focused on her extravagant predictions that LNG will pay off the debt and maybe even get rid of our sales tax.

But as I predicted 18 months ago, there’s a shift in the target of professional protesters to natural gas. A reminder of that awaited

me on a morning walk to the B.C. legislature.

At the front gate stood a young woman in a bikini top and shorts, her skin smeared with a dark material, presumably to simulate crude oil. She waved to passing traffic, stretching a banner promoting a website for the “Unist’ot’en camp.”

Legislature security intervened to clear the entry walkway before I could ask the protester who was paying her. The fundraising website she was promoting hadn’t been updated since March, but this isn’t the first time this camp has been promoted here.

Chevron’s Burnaby oil refinery was also targeted May 30 by protesters who locked themselves to a gate with bicycle locks and chains. The camp came to my attention last summer, when it was promoted by one of Victoria’s chronic anarchist protesters, a woman who goes by the

name Zoe Blunt. Blunt and other southern protesters documented their trip north to support the camp’s stated goal, to stop the Pacific Trails gas pipeline, planned to supply the ChevronApache liquefied natural gas terminal near Kitimat.

The camp is on Crown land near Smithers. It was established at the end of a one-lane bridge by two members of the Wet’suwet’en First Nation.

While that community’s elected council maintains a respectful relationship with the B.C. government, the splinter group has confrontation in mind.

A clearer picture of this situation is provided by a relentless blogger named Greg Renouf, who specializes in investigating protesters across Canada. His blog, www.genuinewitty. com, should be required reading for reporters who are presented with slick banners and posturing protesters.

The council considers complaints from the public about the conduct of member newspapers. Directors oversee the mediation of complaints, with input from both the newspaper and the complaint holder.

V9R 2R2.For information, phone 888-687-2213 or go to www.bcpresscouncil.org

Renouf follows the money as well as the familiar faces who pop up at protest after protest. In April he reported that the increasingly militant Council of Canadians is supporting the Unist’ot’en camp, along with what he describes as “a host of NGOs, unions, militant anarchists and professional protesters.” They include Harsha Walia, who organized violent protests against the 2010 Vancouver Olympics.

Meanwhile in the real world, TransCanada Corp. announced last week its subsidiary NovaGas Transmission has signed an agreement with Chevron and Apache for a gas pipeline that will connect to Pacific Trails. It’s one of four gas pipelines TransCanada has in development for what is planned to be the biggest industrial investment in B.C. history.

They can smear it with oil, but gas is the protest industry’s latest target.

Don’t ever forget the people who helped you and stood by you: teachers, parents, family, and friends.

We are all very proud of you. Go out in the world and be the best you can be.

Learn, laugh, love, see, do, listen, experience. Most of all, do what makes you happy and be true to yourself. Congratulations and best wishes!
