Kanesatake Grand Chief has doubts about energy board 's objectivity on Energy East Pipeline Article content Serge Simon says the National Energy Board is little more than a “ kangaroo court. ” Advertisement 2 Article content Even so , the Kanesatake Grand Chief will join hundreds of First Nations leaders later this year when he testifies at the NEB ’ s Energy East Pipeline hearings . Last week , the NEB released the names of 108 aboriginal intervener groups — a list that includes the Kahnawake and Akwesasane Mohawks — each of whom will voice their concerns about the project . tap here to see other videos from our team . Kanesatake Grand Chief has doubts about energy board 's objectivity on Energy East Pipeline Back to video The hearings determine whether Trans Canada can begin construction on a 4,600-kilometre pipeline that would link the Alberta tarsands to terminals in Quebec and New Brunswick . But Simon , fellow chiefs and one former energy executive say they have serious doubts about the NEB ’ s objectivity in ruling on the future of the $ 12-billion project . The NEB ’ s 13 board members are appointed by the federal government and critics say too many have ties to the oil , pipeline and energy companies they ’ re charged with regulating . Advertisement 3 Article content “ When does the ( NEB ) ever say no to a project ? I can ’ t think of an example , ” Simon told the Montreal Gazette . “ How many of ( the NEB ’ s ) members have taken a paycheque from oil and gas companies ? How is that not a conflict of interest ? ” Two of the three NEB board members overseeing the Energy East hearings were once employed in the oil and gas sector . For 29 years , Lyne Mercier worked for Gaz Métropolitain , eventually becoming the director of its gas supply division . Roland George worked as the chief economist for Gaz Métropolitain before being appointed to the NEB . In total , seven of 13 board members at one point drew a salary from companies in the energy industry — including Petro-Canada , Imperial Oil , Encana Gas Storage and Canadian Petroleum Engineering Inc. , among others . Advertisement 4 Article content “ You have , basically , a petrol culture which is biased in favour of the industry , ” said Marc Eliesen , the former CEO of BC Hydro , Manitoba Hydro and Ontario Hydro . “ There ’ s been quite an interchange over the years of people moving from the industry and into the NEB and then from the NEB and back into the oil and gas sector . It ’ s impossible to ignore that. ” Responding to questions of bias , a spokesperson for the NEB told the Montreal Gazette there are rules in place to prevent conflict of interests . “ Our board members are farmers , scientists , lawyers , engineers , public servants and energy experts . Every board member is held to an exemplary standard of ethical conduct and has a desire to serve the Canadian public interest , ” said Kathleen Murphy , a communications officer for the NEB . “ The rules of natural justice including those relating to conflict of interest and bias — real or apprehension of bias — are closely followed. ” Advertisement 5 Article content In a 2014 speech before the Economic Club of Canada , NEB chair Peter Watson denied the suggestion that his organization simply acts as a rubber stamp for big oil . He pointed to restrictions , fines and regulations imposed by his group over the years . However , he did concede that the NEB does not frequently deny applications from the industry . Elisen ’ s concerns extend beyond the composition of the board to the methodology of its hearings . Last year , Elisen made waves when he withdrew as an intervener in the NEB ’ s Trans Mountain Pipeline hearings in British Columbia . During those hearings , the NEB quietly removed the ability of interveners to cross-examine representatives from the company . As a result , Elisen and others had to submit their questions to the Trans Mountain corporation in writing and he claims that only about five per cent of them were answered . Advertisement 6 Article content Further frustrating critics of the NEB , its responsibilities have expanded under the Harper government . In an omnibus budget bill adopted in 2012 , the Conservatives stripped the Canadian Environmental Assesment Agency of its authority to conduct environmental reviews ahead of pipeline construction . That duty — and the duty to regulate some 75,000 kilometres of pipelines — now lies in the hands of the NEB and its 450 employees . At least 75 of the NEB ’ s employees , Murphy said , have the expertise to carry out environmental assessments . The Mohawks have a lot at stake in the debate over Energy East . The proposed pipeline passes along the northern edge of Kanesatake and near the Doncaster Mohawk territory in the Laurentians . Representatives from the Kahnawake band council said that when the industry de-regulates , there is a significant risk for safety lapses . Advertisement 7 Article content During the NEB ’ s review of the Enbridge 9B pipeline reversal in 2013 , the company ’ s own environmental assessment failed to identify all of the critical waterways that could be affected in the event of a rupture or spill , said Francis Walsh , legal council for the Mohawk Council of Kahnawake . “ Initially , Enbridge had only identified a few water crossings as major ones , ” he said . “ Through our intervention , there ended up being over 300 , in the end , that were considered major water crossings … We conducted a thorough technical review , at our own expense , and it was thanks , in part , to the intervention of Kahnawake that the NEB imposed more stringent safety requirements on Enbridge . Not many First Nations have the resources to do that and therein lies the problem. ” Advertisement 8 Article content Whether or not First Nations like the intervener process , it will probably be their only chance to weigh in on the Energy East project . While Trans Canada has met privately with Kahnawake , Kanestake and other aboriginal communities , the duty to consult with First Nations remains squarely on the shoulders of the crown . But according to a statement by Natural Resources Canada , the government relies on the NEB to “ discharge its aboriginal consultation responsibilities. ” This includes accepting hundreds of aboriginal applicants for the Energy East hearings and Murphy says the NEB could impose restrictions or other mitigation measures on Trans Canada based on this testimony . For the Kahnawake Mohawks , however , this doesn ’ t absolve the crown of its consultation duties . “ It ’ s definitely a grievance we have , but we ’ ll participate anyway because we want our concerns put forward , ” Walsh said . “ But we ’ ll also be taking this up with the government as well. ” ccurtis @ montrealgazette.com Twitter.com/titocurtis

SC Public Radio News - A House committee will hold a public hearing Monday on a bill to allow the use of medical marijuana in South Carolina . A small group of House members made a few changes in the lengthy bill passed in February by the full Senate on a 28-15 vote . One amendment cleaned up the grammar and a few typos in the bill which senators considered more than 60 changes over seven days of debate . A second change restores some podiatrists with extra training to the list of doctors who can prescribe medical marijuana . There was little discussion of the bill Thursday . Much of that is expected for the meeting Monday morning by the full House Medical , Military , Public and Municipal Affairs Committee . - One student at Tanglewood Middle School died in the shootingThursday . Police reported no other injuries - The South Carolina Senate has given key approval to a bill that would allow some poorer or disabled students taxpayer money to attend a private school or a public school outside their district . The 25-15 vote late Wednesday overcomes a big hurdle that advocates for school choice and vouchers have been trying to top in the state for nearly two decades . After one more routine vote , the bill goes to the House , which has been more agreeable to the idea in the past . The bill provides up to $ 6,000 in state money each year and is limited to students whose family income is low enough to make them eligible for Medicaid and students who have disabilities . - Florida and 20 other states ( including South Caroliona ) have sued to halt the federal government 's pandemic requirement that people wear masks on planes , trains and other public transport . The lawsuit was filed Tuesday in federal court in Tampa , Florida . It contends that the mask mandate exceeds the authority of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention . The CDC rule took effect Feb. 1 , 2021 . It requires `` the wearing of masks by people on public transportation conveyances or on the premises of transportation hubs , '' according to the agency website . The rule has been relaxed somewhat but was recently extended until at least April 18 for domestic and international travel in general . Open Space Institute works in concert with others to protect South Carolina 's scenic , natural , and historic landscapes The Open Space Institute ’ s mission is to protect scenic , natural , and historic landscapes to provide public enjoyment , conserve habitat and working lands , and sustain communities . Over the past 40 years , the institute has saved 2,285,092 acres of land through direct acquisition , grants , and loans . Having begun by focusing on land in New York State , they have in recent years saved significant , complex , and large-scale tracts in South Carolina , Florida , and New Jersey through direct acquisitions . In December 2022 , the Open Space Institute ( OSI ) and The Nature Conservancy ( TNC ) announced the purchase of three properties along the Santee River in South Carolina , expanding the largest contiguous block of protected coastal lands in the state . OSI ’ s Vice-President and Director of the Southeast , Maria Whitehead , joins Walter Edgar to talk about the acquisition and about the Institute ’ s plans for land protection in the state .

Port Arthur Man Sentenced In Kidnapping And Carjacking Scheme Department of Justice Office of Public Affairs BEAUMONT , Texas – A 33-year-old Port Arthur , Texas man has been sentenced to federal prison in a carjacking case as a result of Operation Time Machine in the Eastern District of Texas , announced U.S. Attorney John M. Bales today . Luan Van Nguyen , aka , Kevin Nguyen , was found guilty by a jury on Aug. 2 , 2012 , of carjacking , conspiracy to commit carjacking , and possession of a firearm in furtherance of a violent crime . Nguyen was sentenced to 330 months in federal prison today by U.S. District Judge Thad Heartfield . According to information presented in court , from July 16 , 2010 to Aug. 6 , 2010 , Nguyen conspired with two fellow Port Arthur men , Patrick Allen Chaney and Rigoberto Gaytan Valenzia , to kidnap a 24-year-old Port Arthur man and hold him for ransom . Chaney and Valenzia had both previously performed construction work for Nguyen , who was a construction contractor . Nguyen approached Chaney and Valenzia and asked them to help kidnap the victim and promised to share a portion of the ransom proceeds , which was to be paid by the victim 's family . Prior to the kidnapping , Chaney , Valenzia , and Nguyen traveled together on one or more occasions to conduct surveillance on the victim and the victim 's family . Nguyen was a friend of the victim ’ s family and knew that the victim had a job doing computer repair work . Nguyen ’ s plan was to lure the victim to an vacant house in Port Arthur by having Chaney make a fictitious service call for computer repair . On Aug. 5 , 2010 , at approximately 6:30 p.m. , Chaney , using the alias `` Gary Underwood , '' called the victim on his cell phone and asked the victim to fix a computer . On Aug. 6 , 2010 , from approximately 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. , Chaney , using the same alias , `` Gary Underwood , '' made multiple phone calls to the victim 's cell phone and the victim ’ s employer , specifically requesting that the victim be sent to do the computer repair . Chaney instructed the victim to meet him at 3748 Proctor Street in Port Arthur , in order to pick up the computer . At approximately 3:00 p.m. , Chaney met the victim at 3748 Proctor Street and was able to lure him into the house . Upon entering the house , Valenzia confronted the victim with a short-barreled shotgun and told the victim to lay face down on the floor and not to move or else he would shoot the victim . Chaney proceeded to blind-fold the victim and bound the victim 's hands with duct tape . Valenzia and Chaney then put the victim into Valenzia ’ s van , bound his feet with duct tape , and then removed the victim ’ s car keys and cell phone . Chaney took the victim 's car which was parked in the driveway . Nguyen drove up to the residence and instructed Chaney to follow Nguyen in the victim 's vehicle while Valenzia transported the victim . Chaney and Nguyen then abandoned the victim ’ s vehicle behind a business on 8th Street and 9th Avenue in order to conceal the location of the kidnaping from law enforcement . Valenzia took a large knife and placed it against the victim 's neck and leg , and told the victim that he would cut him if he moved . Valenzia left the residence in his van with the victim still bound in the back and planned to take the victim back to his apartment . While in route , the victim was able to maneuver to the front of the vehicle and lodge himself against Valenzia and the inside wall of the van . Valenzia choked the victim with his hands in order to try and regain control over him . After a brief struggle , Valenzia stopped the vehicle and opened the driver 's side door in order to free himself . Once the door was opened , the victim fell out of the vehicle , managed to free one of his legs , and was able to run to a nearby business for help . A passing motorist observed the victim escaping from the vehicle and called Port Arthur Police . Valenzia left the scene and then called Nguyen on his cell phone and informed him that the victim had escaped . Valenzia attempted to flee in the van , but was later apprehended by Port Arthur Police officers . Port Arthur Police recovered the shotgun used in the kidnapping and carjacking . Chaney voluntarily surrendered to Port Arthur Police on Aug. 13 , 2010 . A federal grand jury returned an indictment on Sep. 8 , 2010 , charging Valenzia , Nguyen , and Chaney with federal violations . The evidence at trial showed that Nguyen fled Port Arthur on Aug. 16 , 2010 after he learned federal investigators were investigating him for his role in the kidnaping and carjacking . He was at large for over a year , and was eventually arrested in Houston , Texas on Dec. 14 , 2011 . Phone records showed that Nguyen repeatedly called Chaney and Valenzia on the day of the kidnaping and carjacking , and instructed them on how to carry out the crime . This case was prosecuted as part of Project Safe Neighborhoods ' Operation Time Machine program in partnership with the Jefferson County District Attorney ’ s Office . Operation Time Machine is aimed at reducing gun and gang violence , deterring illegal possession of guns , ammunition and body armor , and improving the safety of residents in Port Arthur , Texas . Participants in the initiative include community members and organizations as well as federal , state and local law enforcement agencies . Chaney pleaded guilty to carjacking and was sentenced on Aug. 9 , 2011 , to 97 months in federal prison . Valenzia pleaded guilty to carjacking and was sentenced on Apr . 20 , 2011 to 116 months in federal prison . Chaney and Valenzia were also convicted of state charges for aggravated kidnapping and were both sentenced to 5 years in the Texas Department of Corrections . During sentencing , Judge Heartfield referred to Nguyen as the “ puppeteer ” and his co-defendants as the “ puppets ” in this scheme . This case was investigated by the Port Arthur Police Department and the ATF and prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Baylor Wortham and Assistant U.S. Attorney John Ross .

America : We ’ ve got a Muppet problem . Television viewers across the United States are sure to watch tonight ’ s highly anticipated debut of “ The Muppets , ” a show that brings all your favorite Muppet characters — Kermit the Frog , Miss Piggy , Gonzo and Fozzy Bear — back to the television screen . But this isn ’ t your mother ’ s Muppets . Or your grandmother ’ s Muppets . And , according to some media criticism groups , it shouldn ’ t be your child ’ s Muppets , either . The new version isn ’ t the kid-friendly version you might expect after seeing the two recent Muppet movies , “ The Muppets ” and “ Muppets Most Wanted ” ( both rated PG ) . Rather , this new take , an adult-themed show that ’ s told in the story of a mockumentary , a la “ The Office , ” will “ scar you , ” according to The Daily Beast . “ There will be people who think it ’ s a hoot to live in this conceit , where the Muppets are grown-up sitcom characters and not as schticky as we ’ re used to seeing them , ” The Daily Beast ’ s Kevin Fallon wrote . “ And there will be people who will feel like their childhood innocence is being marauded. ” Indeed , the show depicts these childhood characters in less-than family friendly situations . For example , Zoot is an alcoholic , Fozzy Bear uses online hookup apps , and there ’ s plenty of sexual innuendoes sprinkled throughout , Fallon wrote . This is why One Million Moms , an organization that often advocates for family friendly television , has started a petition to get the show canceled . “ 1MM suspects there are going to be a lot of shocked moms and dads when they discover that the family friendly Muppets of the 1970s are no more , ” the petition reads . “ It appears that no subject is off-limits. ” The group explained that the show ’ s more mature themes — like talks about sex , drugs and alcohol — may raise a couple of eyebrows from children , too . “ How many parents want to explain the punchline of sexually charged jokes to young children ? ” the petition asks . “ Many parents unknowingly will let their children watch an episode only to find out its perverted nature too late , unless they are alerted ahead of time. ” Still , not all are against the show . In fact , Time magazine ’ s Phil Wahba made the point that the new Muppets show , which is being billed as “ a network TV show with full frontal nudity , ” wasn ’ t made with a young audience in mind . In fact , adults may be the targeted audience . “ While it is true that there is a more adult feel to the show , if the promos are any indication , it could well be that ABC is in fact not aiming at children , but at Gen-Xers and baby boomers who grew up loving the Muppets and want to relive a bit of their childhood in an updated manner once a week , ” Wahba wrote . Fallon said the new Muppets show may also be an attempt by producers to resonate with an older audience to refresh the characters . The show also touches on issues that adults , not children , would find interesting and appealing , like critiques on modern media shown through its mockumentary style of filming . “ Not your grandmother ’ s Muppets ? I actually think my grandmother would find this series quite amusing , ” Fallon wrote . But even if the show works for adults , children , who have been known to benefit from Muppets and puppet characters , according to recent research , might not learn much from the new show , according to One Million Moms , and that may hurt the Muppet brand . “ Parents will have to explain to confused children that the program they once were allowed to watch is no longer a nice show , '' the One Millions Moms website said .

Wounded teacher expected shots at school , not on drive home SEATTLE ( AP ) — Longtime schoolteacher Deborah Judd has grown accustomed to active-shooter drills in her second-grade classroom . She was less prepared to see a gunman in the street on her way home . She became the first to be shot by a man as he opened fire on cars in a Seattle neighborhood , apparently at random , leaving two people dead and wounding a bus driver who was praised for getting the passengers to safety . `` He walked straight out in the middle of the road and he shot me , then he shot me again , '' Judd , 56 , told reporters from her hospital bed Thursday . `` I guess I always thought something like that would happen in school because we talk so much about school shootings . `` But I never thought I 'd be driving home in my car and someone would step out in the street and shoot me , '' she said . Judd was headed home to suburban Snohomish on Wednesday after a meeting at Laurelhurst Elementary School , `` zipping along , I think I was eating Cheez-Its , '' she said . Then she saw the gunman . He fired into her windshield as she got close and fired again after the car came to a stop on a road that follows a ridge above Lake Washington in residential northeast Seattle . Bullets lodged in her arm , shoulder and lung . Judd said she slumped over the emergency brake of her car and stayed still — wondering why no one was helping her — until the shooting stopped . The gunman next fired into a King County Metro bus , striking the driver , and approached a car that had slowed down and shot again , killing the 50-year-old man behind the wheel and fleeing in his car as officers arrived , authorities said . Police say suspect Tad Michael Norman , 33 , then crashed head-on into another vehicle , killing the 70-year-old man driving . Norman was taken into custody after a brief standoff , police said . Investigators offered no information about a potential motive . Norman , who lives near the shooting scene , was jailed on suspicion of homicide , assault and robbery . He was expected to make his first court appearance Friday , and it was not clear if he had obtained a lawyer who could speak on his behalf . Norman did not appear to have any significant criminal history in Washington state . He was a vendor with Microsoft and his contract ended last year , a company representative said . The bus driver , Eric Stark , 53 , was shot in the torso but still managed to drive his passengers to safety , authorities said . Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan said he `` saved lives and took action even after being harmed . '' Stark , recovering in a hospital Thursday , told ABC 's `` Good Morning America '' that `` it 's what any other driver would be able to do if they were physically able . '' `` I ducked down really quick for some cover , did like a two-second assessment of my injuries and figured , 'Well , I can breathe , I can think , I can see , and I can talk , ' '' Stark said . `` So for me , that was enough to go , 'OK , we 're getting out of here . I 've got ta get these people out of here . ' '' None of the passengers aboard the bus got hurt , King County Metro said . John Barrett told Seattle news station KOMO-TV that he was in his garage when he heard what sounded like firecrackers . Barrett went outside and saw a man pointing a gun at people as he walked down a street , `` firing at anything just without any regard . '' Judd wept as she recounted hearing the shot that killed the 50-year-old and wondered if he had stopped to help her . She said she decided to speak with reporters so her students could see that she was all right . `` I want to make sure the kids know I 'm OK and that I 'll be back soon and I love them , '' she said . `` You 're 7 years old and you have to process your teacher being shot . It 's not OK . It 's not OK. That 'll be something that sticks in their lives forever . ''

Finland joins other Nordic nations in curbing Moderna shots Finland has joined other Nordic countries in suspending or discouraging the use of Moderna 's COVID-19 vaccine in certain age groups because of an increased risk of heart inflammation , a rare side effect associated with the shot . The Finnish Institute for Health and Welfare said Thursday that authorities wo n't give the shot to males under age 30 . They will be offered the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine instead . The government agency said it found that young men and boys were at a slightly higher risk of developing myocarditis . The move by Finland followed similar decisions by three neighboring countries on Wednesday . Sweden suspended the use of Moderna for people under 30 , Denmark said those under 18 wo n't be offered the Swiss-made vaccine , and Norway urged those under 30 to get the Pfizer vaccine instead . All four countries based their decision on an unpublished study with Sweden 's Public Health Agency saying that it signals `` an increased risk of side effects such as inflammation of the heart muscle or the pericardium '' -- the double-walled sac containing the heart and the roots of the main vessels . It added : `` The risk of being affected is very small . '' The preliminary information from the Nordic study has been sent to the European Medicines Agency 's adverse reaction committee to be assessed .
