Regional district approves action plan Economic Development Action Plan to build economic capacity FLAVIO NIENOW The Regional District of Bulkley-Nechako (RDBN) approved the Regional Economic Development Action Plan during a board of director’s meeting on Oct. 23. The action plan will provide “clear strategic directions toward the diversification and expansion
of the local economy,” according to Bill Miller, Director of Area B for the RDBN. The action plan is intended to ensure long-term economic prosperity, as well as to enhance the region as a great place to live, work and visit. This plan is based on the premise that enhancing the quality of life of its residents would help attract and retain workers, offering all residents, communities and businesses an opportunity to prosper. “The regional district will implement actions that will encourage entrepreneurship, attract investment into the region, achieve greater economic impact from the tourism industry, provide tools to respond to large resource projects and a response to labour skills shortage,” said Miller.
In order to develop this plan, the RDBN heard the voices of local businesses and community leaders to identify the needs and priorities of the region. Community forums were held across the region including Vanderhoof, Fort St. James, Fraser Lake, Burns Lake, Smithers, Telkwa, Houston and Granisle. A draft of the proposed plan was first introduced to the RDBN’s board of directors by Millier Dickinson Blais, an economic development consulting firm, on Oct. 9, 2014. The board requested a few changes to the proposed plan and these changes were later incorporated and approved on Oct. 23. According to Miller, the most important element ...see ACTION PLAN ▼ P5

A regular council meeting of the Village of Burns Lake was held in council chambers on Oct. 21. Present at the meeting were mayor Luke Strimbold, councillors Frank Varga, John Illes, Wes Hart and Chris Beach, chief administrative officer Sheryl Worthing and clerk Cameron Hart. Mayor Strimbold mentioned his tour at the new hospital to see how the construction of the new facility is progressing. His last visit had been three months before. “I think the progress [at the new hospital] has been quite significant and within the next month we’ll see even more progress,” said the mayor. Strimbold said some of the medical equipment is now arriving and being installed. Most of the floor is complete, and the project includes over 30 subcontracts. Councillor Beach was also present at the tour and said he felt confident the new hospital will attract new staff to the area - “hopefully new doctors.” “It’s even more impressive every time I see the hospital,” said Beach. “I think the community is going to be extremely pleased when they see it.” Councillors had been discussing the resurfacing of Baker Airport’s runway over the past meetings. The Lakes District Airport Society (LDAA) has asked the Village of Burns Lake for one of their two plough trucks. The council discussed the merits of providing the truck to the Airport Society during the meeting and decided to sell one plough truck for $10,000 plus tax. Mayor Strimbold said providing a truck for $10,000 to the LDAA will be “something that is beneficial to all people.” The capital funding to resurface the airport strip will come from a regional district’s grant application. A motion was also carried that the Village of Burns Lake make an application to the Seniors Housing and Support Initiative for the 2015 age-friendly community planning grant to support senior-oriented programming at the Lakeside Multiplex.

Burns Lake real estate market has a positive outlook
from 12:00 to 1:00 at the Remax Office
Flavio Nienow
Burns Lake has come a long way since the explosion at the Babine Forest Products mill in 2012. At that time, uncertainty was dominant in the local real estate market and very few sales were taking place. "The market went flat [in 2012]," said Doug Phair, managing broker/owner at RE/MAX Wrightway. The real state market in Burns Lake has come a long way since then. With the village offering new facilities such as the Lakeside Multiplex, the construction of a new hospital, as well as the affordable house prices in the area, Burns Lake has become a better alternative to newcomers. "There is a lot of outside interest in our area," he said. With a mid price range of $80,000 to $110,000, Burns Lake has become more appealing than its neighbouring towns, said Phair. "What we have here is different than what we have in Smithers and Fraser Lake; a high-end house in Burns Lake that would cost $200,000, would be $300,000 in Smithers." ...see REAL ESTATE t P8

Is it really clean energy?
Difficult birth for LNG cash cow
I had never really understood what global warming meant. Of course I had heard of it, just like everyone else. We were taught about it in school; we heard about it on the news; people have always talked about it. But still, I had never really understood it. I remember my teachers talking about how the temperature of the Earth would rise, and how the glaciers would eventually melt, rising the ocean levels. I also remember experts discussing on newspapers how unpredictable the weather would become. Deadly even. Every time a natural disaster takes place, people are quick to point their fingers at global warming. Even with all that information available, somehow I still didn’t feel the urgency to fix it. I guess I (ignorantly) always thought that, ultimately, our technology would be able to protect us against radical climate changes. It wasn’t until I watched a documentary (and I apologize that unfortunately I can’t remember which one it was) that my perception was changed. After watching the documentary, I finally understood what all these experts have been saying all this time. Global warming does not simply mean that the temperature of the Earth will rise two or three degrees, that the ocean levels will rise and that we will have to deal with more frequent natural disasters. What it means, and what they have been trying to tell us all along, is that our survival as a human species is in danger. Simple concept, right? Yet, I struggled for so long to understand it. It made me realize (and this is not a brilliant insight that I am proud of) that If we don’t make radical changes to our way of producing energy, if we keep polluting the planet like we have, we will cease to exist. Since I watched that documentary, I have been wondering if our leaders are making the same mistake I did – not seeing the urgency of the matter. You must be wondering why I chose to talk about global warming this week. Nothing significant happened on that front, except that I watched TransCanada’s presentation about liquefied natural gas (LNG) in Burns Lake. An expert performed a live demonstration of what natural gas looks like when it reacts to different scenarios such as being in contact with water. The purpose of the presentation was to prove how safe natural gas can be, and answer any questions the public might have on the subject. They were also talking about the Coastal GasLink Pipeline, a 650-kilometre pipeline from the Dawson Creek area to the west coast of B.C., passing south of Burns Lake. I was there as an observer. When the time came to ask questions, I didn’t. I didn’t have enough data or confidence to ask the big guys a question. And maybe they are right – transporting natural gas may not pose a huge threat to the environment. But what about extracting natural gas? That’s the question I really wanted to ask TransCanada. But I guess the extraction of natural gas wasn’t in question at that time. After all, the presentation was about how safe the transportation of LNG is, and how we shouldn’t worry. However, I took the liberty of doing a quick google search to find out how people in British Columbia feel about the subject. What I found was a great collection of videos, websites and research done by people against natural gas in the province. Skepticism is definitely out there. I think it’s important to ask questions. Is our government only concerned about short-term investments? Or are they thinking about our long-term wellbeing? Are we doing enough to protect the next generation (and maybe our own)? Is this really “clean energy” as they are selling it to be?

by Petronas of Malaysia. The 3.5 per cent tax wouldn’t even take full effect until the massive capital investment is written down, and would rise to five per cent after 20 years of production. All of this casts further doubt on Premier Christy Clark’s extravagant election campaign promise to use LNG revenues to wipe out B.C.’s debt, currently approaching $70 billion, and provide an Alberta-style “prosperity fund” to perform further miracles. The seven per cent figure was the top end of the range presented this spring while negotiations with LNG investors were ongoing, so it’s not really accurate to say it was “slashed.” This cash calf hasn’t been born yet, and it remains to be seen if it will survive. Finance Minister Mike de Jong pointed out some of the shifts in the global gas market that have reduced expectations. Japan, one of the potential investors, is considering restarting its nuclear plants as it recovers from the 2011 Fukushima earthquake. China’s manic growth is slowing, and it has signed a long-term deal to import cheaper Russian pipeline gas. Oil prices have dropped. The government’s change of tone started with the recent throne speech, which emphasized the fate of B.C.’s only current export market. “Like forestry, B.C.’s natural gas industry has relied on exports to the United States,” the speech observed. “But the American shale gas revolution has meant the export south has dried up – and is never coming back.” So before B.C. gets to that prosperity fund, it’s got to stop the bleeding. You may recall it was a U.S. hurricane-induced spike in gas revenues that allowed the province to spread an extra billion to calm its labour waters for the 2010 Olympics. The finance ministry estimates that after the startup period, a medium-sized LNG export operation would pay total taxes of around $800 million a year to the province. De Jong notes that this is more revenue than B.C. will collect from the entire forest industry this year, from a single plant. There are 18 currently proposed. This new LNG income tax is nowhere near the biggest source. It’s bigger than the carbon tax that LNG producers will pay on fuel use, but only a fourth of what B.C. collects in royalties for selling the gas. The biggest source of revenue from this hoped-for plant is “other taxes,” which include sales tax and corporate income tax, which B.C. increased to 11 per cent last year. University of Calgary economist Jack Mintz, who supported B.C. on its ill-fated harmonized sales tax, says this additional LNG tax is wrong-headed at any rate. “If other provinces take the same view with respect to resource taxation, new levies would be applied to oil refining, forest product manufacturing, mining processing and a host of other activities linked to resource industries,” Mintz wrote last week in the <I>Financial Post.</I> If B.C. does get a substantial LNG export industry, it will include gas from Alberta, with royalties going there, not here. And companies are also wrangling with the federal government over its taxes, with local governments and First Nations still in line for their cut. The big question isn’t whether B.C. will get its fair share. It’s whether there will be anything to share.

Diversified economy a priority
the economy, is supported by actions that promote new opportunities in traditional sectors or in new sectors, with a focus on investment attraction. The timeline set for the Regional Economic Development Action Plan extends from 2015 to 2018. The public can learn more about the plan by visiting www. rdbn.bc.ca/economicdevelopment. A communications strategy has been included to assist with keeping the public up to date on its progress.
ACTION PLAN from t P1
of this action plan has been the involvement of stakeholders, First Nations and other community members to make sure that the plan builds economic capacity across the region. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is very important that we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t overlap and expend our limited resources needlessly,â&#x20AC;? he said. Miller said the regional district wants to develop a â&#x20AC;&#x153;diversified economy that is not dependent on the commodity prices of the resource sector.â&#x20AC;? One way to do this would be by building on opportunities in sectors such as tourism and agriculture, as well as investing in â&#x20AC;&#x153;large energy projectsâ&#x20AC;? and ensuring the â&#x20AC;&#x153;technical infrastructure is in placeâ&#x20AC;? in terms of broadband coverage and cellphone networks. Making these changes would attract entrepreneurs who would be interested in the quality of life that Bulkley-Nechako offers to its residents, according to Miller. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To encourage growth in the economy of the reFor CounCil gion as a whole, it is important to find connections between the communities to link them in terms of Maintain the labour force, transportation, sector development, businesses and community services,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Great week of entertainment and friends visiting
I guess I had better get busy as another week is starting. The older I get the faster they come or it seems that way. To start with what a fall we are having so far but we do need a little more moisture. The many years we lived at the lake I well remember two winters with no snow and two winters with very little. Maybe a skiff only. The years with no snow we didn’t have a hay crop. It seems we have to have that moisture of the snow for the crops. I hope this next year is not one of them, it’s early yet. The hay crop is very important to our economy no fooling. Nice visit
Last week I had the most pleasant visit when I had Valerie Ingram, a special friend, stop in for a visit. We had a chat about her society, Lakes Animal Friendship Society. What a wonderful afternoon we had. What a wonderful thing Valerie is doing. She is dedicated her whole life to this cause. She left me a news book called Critter Care News and how interesting it is. She is also making up a book called The Cold Cats Story. I am really looking forward to reading it. Due to a lack of room I am not able to do the whole article its full justice. This whole thing has taught our younger generation the true value of human kinds to animals. Yes they have feelings too. Many thanks to all these wonderful folks who have given us so much to make all the whole thing possible with time, energy and finances, you are great. Bye Birdie The farewell for Birdie
Madigan in the paper last week said she is leaving the Southside after so many years of making this her home. We are going to miss you Birdie big time. I have known you for almost a lifetime and you were a special friend. I well remember the wonderful visits we used to have. I hope and pray everything works out well for you in your new home. Please keep in contact with me as you are one of my special friends. Friends On Friday last a number of the Pines residents came down to visit at the Tweedsmuir House. They visited as well as played a few games. A nice lunch was served. Gave the folks a nice break. There is an old saying a change is as good as a rest and it works too. I must not forget the staff who did such a nice job of decorating the dining room for Halloween. Not too far away. It looked real nice and the visitors really enjoyed it.
Our newspaper Our local Lakes District News is full of news this week. Some good and some not so good. The not so good is the terrible loss of the cattle on the Southside. This is kind of scary for us all. We are so proud of our pure lakes and then something like this comes a long. One good thing they are getting on top of it and maybe something can be done to see it doesn’t happen again. I for one have never heard of this poison happening in our lakes before. The first time for a long time the cattle price is way up there for a reasonable profit they get shot down and big time. The loss of the cattle on the Southside rings a bell in my memory of what we went through in Saskatchewan in the mid 30s when the sleeping sickness hit the horses. This was a disaster and big time. It cleaned up the horse population. Some folks lost all their horses.
They came out with shots but it was too late for lots of the horses but at least it was brought under control. As it was harvest time lots of the farmers bit the bullet and bought a little Ford tractor and this was pie in the sky for the Ford dealers. This was a package deal you could get a two bottom plough, a mower and the tractor. Our dad stayed with the horses as he was an old-time horseman and horses were his pride and joy. One of our neighbours lost five of his lovely matching grey’s. They had an old rugby truck and he had it hooked onto his binder cutting his grain crop. He was on the binder and his daughter was driving the truck and it all was going along and at least he was getting his crop off. The big horse teams were on the way out and the tractor had taken over. There were some big steam tractors in the district but they faded away with the horses as they were
so inconvenient and top heavy. We kept using horses for those last years in Saskatchewan. 1941 changed our lives as that was the year we packed up lock, stock and barrel. It was a hard move but in the end it was the best move ever for our family. This was a big move for my brother Peter and I as we left those growing up years behind. Both of us were very musical, got my first girlfriend, got my drivers license, learned to ride horse back, drive big teams of horses and got my schooling at both the Evesham school and some at the Cotswold school. Much more we left behind. We had reserved an extra large box car for all our stuff including our car, piano, furniture, five head of horses, two head of cows, all mothers spaniels as she was in the kennel business, chickens, geese and this is about as far as my memory goes back. Over 70 years. Before
I forget I will have to record our train trip and I will never forget as we had problem after problem. The main thing was the railway in Evesham was C.P. Rail and Burns Lake was C.N. Rail so it meant a transfer but we managed through it all. Water for the livestock was the main thing we had to fight for but it’s all past history. What a pleasant visit I had this Sunday afternoon to have our very good friend Ina Lehmann from Aldergrove drop in for a visit also her son Gordon from Francois Lake with her. Ina has been a family friend for many years and we always enjoy her company. We also had the Grassy Plains choir present us with a hymn sing. We always enjoy their visits. Although the choir is quite small they do a great job of singing all the old popular hymns that we never grow tired of. Always remember God loves you a great deal and so do I.

Community leaders gathered for the countdown to the opening of the new Lakes District Hospital and Health Centre on Friday th Oct. 24. Mayor Luke Strimbold and representatives from Northern Health, Stuart Nechako Regional Hospital District and PCL Constructors Westcoast Inc. unveiled the sign that marked 104 days to the opening of the new facility. “It’s an exciting time when you start a countdown on a project like this,” said the mayor. “It’s extremely impressive how quickly things have been moved and how local employment has been positively affected.” Marie Hunter, health services administrator for Northern Health, said the community has been lobbying for the construction of this new hospital for the last 10 to 12 years. Hunter said it was after the explosion at the Babine Forest Products sawmill in 2012 that community leaders acknowledged the urgency of building a modern hospital. “The explosion of the mill was what really brought things to a decision,” she said. The construction of the new hospital has not only been sigFLAVIO NIENOW PHOTO nificant to the community of Burns Lake, but also to the people Site superintendent for PCL Constructors Westcoast Inc.

Phair said all these factors have resulted in an increase in the volume of sales over the past year. "This year was good," he said. "There is an optimistic outlook." Although Phair does not see an increase in values right now, he said "there's evidence that prices could and should" go up next year. "It's a great time for buying, but if you're looking to sell, I would wait." The BC Northern Real Estate Board reports 4195 properties worth $1.07 billion sold through the Multiple Listing Service® (MLS®) in the first nine months of 2014. At this time last year, 3806 properties worth $934 million had changed hands. As of Sept. 30 there were 4658 properties of all types available for sale through the MLS®, up slightly from 4617 properties at the end of September last year. The BCNREB vice president David Black comments: “B.C. Northern’s third quarter real estate market has continued to be strong. Most markets are still showing increases in both the number of sales and the dollar value of each sale; however, recent statements made by major players in LNG projects have slowed the activity in the Northeast and Western regions of the Board. According to the Northern Real Estate Board, looking ahead, economic uncertainty remains a major factor influencing the markets in and through the North
and North Central areas. With a number of huge projects in the planning stages, the North could use some certainty. Government approval of at least one of these major projects would help solidify the strength of the markets across the North.” In Burns Lake, so far this year 57 properties worth $6.6 million have been reported sold through MLS® compared to 52 properties worth $6 million in the first nine months of 2013. At the end of September there were 148 properties of all types available for sale through the MLS® in the Burns Lake area. In Houston, to the end of September, 47 properties worth $7.2 million sold in the Houston area, compared with 39 properties worth $6.6 million in the same period last year. At the end of September there were 58 properties of all types available for purchase through MLS® in the Houston area. In Smithers, as of September 30th, 211 properties worth $47.5 million changed hands in the Smithers area, compared with 196 properties worth $48.7 million in the first nine months of 2013. Half of the 83 single family homes sold so far this year, sold for less than $255,000 and these homes took, on average, 78 days to sell. Also changing hands this year were 34 parcels of vacant land, 46 homes on acreage, 12 manufactured homes in parks and 9 manufactured homes on land. As of September 30th, there were 270 properties of all types available through the MLS® in the Smithers area. In Vanderhoof, REALTORS® assisted

Emission limits set for B.C. LNG producers as govt. promises to export world’s cleanest liquified gas
DDUTY TOM FLETCHER
The B.C. government has set environmental rules aimed at making good on its promise to export the world's "cleanest" liquefied natural gas. Environment Minister Mary Polak introduced legislation Monday to set limits for greenhouse gas and conventional air pollution. It includes an option for LNG producers to buy carbon offsets or contribute to a "technology fund" if their operations exceed greenhouse gas limits. Polak said the system will permit LNG development without exceeding the government's greenhouse gas target of a 33 per cent reduction by 2020 and 80 per cent by 2050. New air quality rules are also being established for nitrogen dioxide and sulphur dioxide emissions, based on a review of air quality in the Kitimat area. The "benchmark" for greenhouse gas emissions is an average 0.16 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent per tonne of LNG produced, which the government says is lower than the lowest-emitting LNG facilities in the U.S., ...see GAS

A family affair at University of British Columbia Contributed In the late 1980s, Wendell Unger mailed in his signature and $5 pledge to support the creation of University of Northern British Columbia (UNBC) from his home in Burns Lake out of a desire to stem the flow of young people from Northern B.C. “I watched most of my classmates and older siblings leave the region,” says Wendell. “Some people were touring communities promoting the idea of UNBC. When I saw that option, and read some articles on it, I thought it could help out the North.” “It’s like there was a one-way magnet pulling people out of the region. UNBC gave an option to do something in the North and stay in touch with home. Since then, more people have chosen to work in the North. It’s been a great thing for the region.” Two of Wendell’s children, Christopher and Jocelyn, went on to achieve their undergraduate degrees at UNBC. The youngest sibling, Samantha, started at UNBC this fall. Christopher, Jocelyn and Samantha both earned UNBC scholars awards and full tuition waivers for finishing at the top of their respective high school classes. Jocelyn went on to earn a Bachelor of Science degree, and in May she graduated from the Northern Medical Program. Christopher completed his undergraduate degree at UNBC and is a current NMP student. Wendell says it was exciting and fulfilling to have his children graduate from an institution he helped create. It also gave him a chance to see the campus as it has evolved over the decades. “I loved the use of the wood and the scenes of the North,” says Wendell, who worked in the construction industry for 10 years. “That really stands out. I’d stare at those roof structures enthralled. They’re pretty neat.” Wendell says it was rewarding hav-
ing two of his children close to home for university. The Christian faith is a big part of his family and it was important to have them back for Christmas and Easter church services. Both Christopher and Jocelyn play music and they perform at services and family events. Jocelyn has been making Christmas pudding on Remembrance Day with her mother and little sister since she was four. It’s a tradition Jocelyn says she couldn’t have continued if she’d gone away for university. The family would also play music at the Lakes District Fall Fair and at Christmas for the residents of the Pines. “I think the first year of university is a pretty big transition time for most students,” says Jocelyn. “Classmates would tell me about students going to university in Vancouver right out of high school and crying, being homesick. I think that was a huge plus being able to come home on the weekends, visit family and having family come up once or twice a month. It definitely helps in wellbeing and keeping a positive attitude through university.” Jocelyn is now completing her residency, and on her way to becoming a licensed physician. She just recently learned that her father signed the petition to create the university from which she graduated. Jocelyn says she’s grateful to people like her father who put their names behind the movement that led to a university in the North. “It was really neat finding out that he supported the whole process from the beginning,” she says. “It was such a pleasant surprise, and definitely inspiring.” There are many other stories like the Unger’s out there and UNBC wants to hear them.

Ladies’s fun night shopping
Darrelle London’s story is one of following your heart over your head. With the smarts to get accepted to law school, she chose instead to take a chance on music. So far so good! She has performed at legendary venues such as Hollywood’s Troubadour Club, at renowned festivals such as Lilith Fair, North by Northeast, Canadian Music Week and International Pop Overthrow. She has been featured on MuchMusic, ET Canada and MTVMusic.com. Performing at Lilith Fair and sharing a stage with Sarah McLachlan was for Darrelle a career highlight and a dream fulfilled. She is touring her new record in clubs, colleges and performing arts centres in the US and Canada - including the Lakes District!

Northern Health ebola threat action
Low likelihood of Ebola cases in B.C., the government is making sure the province is prepared Flavio Nienow
According to Michael Mcmillan, northern interior’s Chief Operating Officer for Northern Health, every single hospital in the province is implementing triage and screening protocols for Ebola. Hospitals staff are being instructed on what to do if someone has been identified as a suspected case. An Ebola Preparedness task force has been put in place. The task force
has been meeting regularly to review B.C.’s protocols to respond to the “unlikely occurrence of a case of Ebola arriving in the province.” The task force has designated the following sites as regional centres to assess those at higher risk of having Ebola and to treat confirmed Ebola cases: Lower Mainland: Surrey Memorial Hospital; Island Health: Royal Jubilee Hospital; Interior Health: Kelowna General Hospital; Northern Health: University Hospital of Northern B.C.; and Pediatric Clients: BC Children’s Hospital. “These sites will be the focus of training for staff on the protocols for health-care workers who would be engaged with a confirmed patient or a patient under investigation,” said Health Minister Terry Lake in a press release. “Emergency room and front-line staff at all other health-care facilities are also being trained to receive, isolate and triage any symp-
tomatic individual of interest with risk of exposure to Ebola.” According to the health minister, the task force has been “reviewing the most effective measures to protect healthcare workers and the public.” “Updated guidelines have been developed with advice from the Public Health Agency of Canada’s national expert group. Staff will be fully covered, with no skin showing - equipment will include full body suits, long, fully impervious gowns, separate level 4 hoods, face shields, surgical masks and N95 respirator masks. Protocols will also include a buddy system for staff - where one staff member will observe the other donning and doffing protective equipment to ensure there is no risk for self-contamination.” The task force has also organized weekly stakeholder engagement teleconferences with affected regulatory colleges - including the College
THE BURNS LAKE SNOWMOBILE CLUB
of Physicians and Surgeons, the College of Registered Nurses of BC and the College of Licensed Practical Nurses of BC, bargaining associations - including the BCNU, HSA and HEU, the Doctors of BC, the BC Professional Firefighters Association and the Fire Chiefs Association of B.C., to provide information and answer questions about Ebola. “B.C. officials continue to work with their colleagues across the country and with the Public Health Agency of Canada to ensure consistent development and use of best practices,” said Lake in a press release. “While there is an extremely low likelihood that Northern Health will have to deal with it [ebola cases], we are taking every precaution to make sure that we are ready, that we will protect staff and patients to the highest level possible,” said McMillan. For further questions about Ebola, call 811.

Technology fund idea borrowed from Alberta GAS from t P9 Australia and Norway. Companies that exceed the benchmark will pay penalties on a sliding scale, and those that perform better than the benchmark will receive a carbon offset credit they can sell. NDP environment critic Spencer Chandra Herbert said the technology fund idea appears to be borrowed from Alberta, where a similar fund hasn't stopped greenhouse gas emissions from rising. "I don't know how we can meet our greenhouse gas reductions if we get five or seven LNG plants that the premier seems to suggest are coming, despite evidence to the contrary," Chandra Herbert said. Polak said the technology fund will be developed in consultation with industry. Carbon offsets will be used to pay for projects in B.C. such as lower-

emission transportation and buildings, and there is no plan to count emissions reductions from Asian users who use LNG to reduce coal use, she said. Green Party MLA Andrew Weaver said the sliding scale for excess emissions means that taxpayers will be paying part of the penalties. He predicts that B.C. will never compete in the LNG industry, given growing international production of conventional and shale gas. But if it does, the province will not achieve reductions in emissions. "This isn't going to fool anybody," Weaver said. "It's attempting to look like the government still has a plan for greenhouse gas reductions." The emission rules will apply to LNG processing only, not pollution and greenhouse gases from production and processing of natural gas in northeastern B.C.

SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21: Sagittarius, you’re often the one to take the lead in conversations in your group of friends, but this week someone else takes the lead.

At one point or another all of us have tried to plug in a USB cable or device and found we had the connector upside down. Occasionally we may even have found that reversing the connector didn’t work either, because we had it right the first time. This particular issue will be resolved in the next major iteration of the USB standard, which will include the brand new Type C reversible connector. Type C will be smaller than most of the current Type A & B connectors, roughly on par in size to the micro B USB ends commonly used in most cell phones and tablets manufactured in the last two years. While the smaller size will allow manufacturers to miniaturize upcoming products, eventually you may have to purchase the odd A to C or B to C USB cable to allow you to use your current devices on future models of computers, notebooks, and tablets. However, this shouldn’t be an issue for some time, as most full sized new computers and notebooks will likely retain a few classic Type A ports. The design for the USB Type C connector has been finalized and we should start seeing devices with the new port either late this year or early next year.

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20: Aries, though you are usually up for a conversation with someone you don’t know, this week you could be in a more conservative mood. You’ll have future chances to chat. TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21: You have been on a shopping binge of late, Taurus. If you have unlimited funds, this would not be so problematic. But finances are tight, and you should be more cautious. GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21: Gemini, you are often an entertaining and fun person to have around. This is probably why you get so many invitations to parties and other social occasions. Enjoy your fanfare. CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22: Surround yourself with children this week, Cancer. They’ll provide the unedited, honest information you desire right now. It can certainly be eye-opening.

Michael Alan Anderson was born March 30, 1980 in Burns Lake, B.C. As a child his days were spent in and around his family home near Rose Lake where he became an avid outdoorsman, enjoying quadding, dirt-biking and playing hockey. He could often be found “pretend” logging when he wasn’t helping his Dad in the bush. Michael grew up with a strong sense of family, spending weekends hauling firewood for his Grandma & neighbors and welcoming many friends over for dinners with his family. Michael had a special love for his mom that was shared generously with his friends. Mike’s sense of humor kept those around him laughing and he will be remembered for his easy smile and his love of animals. All of these qualities shaped the man and the dad he became. Mike continued to play hockey as an adult. He shared that love with his two sons as he also took on the role of coaching. During the summer, he spent the days outside with Aubrey, Linden and Evan dirt-biking, quadding, fishing and camping. He cared for the many pets that became a part of his family, never losing the love of animals he developed as a child. When Michael was not spending time with his family he shared in the family logging business with his father. Michael passed away in Houston on October 19, 2014. He is survived by his wife Aubrey, his two sons Linden and Evan, his mother Beatrice, his father Jack and his sister, Nicole (Shane). Mike will be deeply missed by his family and all who knew him. A Memorial Service for Michael was held on October 27th, 2014 in the Community Hall in Houston, B.C. R.A. SCHRADER FUNERAL SERVICES 250-847-2441 www.raschraderfuneralhome.com
