Community chooses new leaders in Nov.14, 2014 election
FLAVIO NIENOW The community of Burns Lake headed to the polls on Nov. 15 to elected its new leaders. Luke Strimbold was re-elected for another term as mayor of Burns Lake with 483 votes. Also seeking the mayor's chair was Deanna Brown, who received 145 votes. The total number of votes for mayor was 631. "It’s an honour to be re-elected for a second term," said Strimbold. "We have accomplished a lot over the last three years and we still have a lot
of work to do over the next four years." Strimbold said that over the last three years, Burns Lake has seen "some major investments in the economy, health care, and recreation." "We need to continue to attract and support investments in our services sector and economic sector," he said. "One of the key challenges going forward will be to make sure we continue to keep taxes low, but at the same time make sure we allocate appropriate resources to water, sewer, and road infrastructure." The newly elected Burns Lake council includes Chris Beach, who received 421 votes, John Illes with 303 votes, Susan Schienbein with 283 votes, and Kelly Holliday with 281 votes.

Wild game poaching remains steady in Burns Lake area Conservation officers depend largely on public assistance to find B.C. wildlife violators FLAVIO NIENOW According to Sgt. Kevin Nixon with the B.C. Conservation Officer Service, the number of hunters in the
area has been decreasing over the years, but amount of illegal activity has remained steady. Sgt. Nixon said it is not unusual to hear complaints about wild
game poaching and people who shoot animals and leave them behind with injuries, as well as other B.C. Wildlife Act violations. Among the cases that
conservation officers in the area are working on is the case of a bull moose that suffered multiple shots and was left alive. The case is now pending court.

Illegal hunting in the Burns Lake area has remained steady. A poacher this year shot a bull moose multiple times and left it alive.
NOVEMBER IS FINANCIAL LITERACY MONTH IN CANADA
“Whether they [people who shot the animal] couldn’t find the moose, or whether they shot multiple animals and only retreated one, we don’t know,” said Sgt. Nixon. “We are working on a couple of cases like that right now.” In another case, also pending court, a group of people shot a bull moose one day before the seven-day general open season (GOS) for moose hunting that takes place from Oct.

20 to Oct. 26. “Every year we encounter evidence of people shooting moose the day before the open season,” said Sgt. Nixon. “The open season brings hunters from all over, so we are very busy during those seven days, and as a result, violations do occur.” This season, there were four field officers covering the BulkleyStikine area, one of the two sections of the Skeena hunting zone. The area extends from
Tweedsmuir North Provincial Park up to the Yukon border. To cover this area more efficiently, Sgt. Nixon assigns his staff to focus on the busiest sections. For other areas, conservation officers depend largely on complaints of locals that witness suspected or known illegal activity. Since there are less people living in the northern areas of the province, there are also less reports of illegal activity. ...see MOOSE ▼ P5

Pinnacle Pellet investigation remains open WorkSafeBC said there is no estimate on how long the investigation process will take Flavio Nienow RCMP media relations officer Dave Tyreman said the Pinnacle Pellet investigation "remains open," and that the RCMP is working closely with WorkSafeBC on this matter. Scott McCloy, media relations director for WorksafeBC, said the investigation is proceeding, but "there are no updates at the present time." "An investigation is a quasi-judicial process and as such, we do not make public our investigations
until such time as they are concluded," he said. "At this point, there is no estimate on how long the investigation process will take." At approximately 8 a.m. on Oct. 9, 2014, a fire related incident occurred at the Pinnacle Pellet plant in the Burns Lake facility resulting in minor injuries to two employees and more serious, but not critical injuries to a third employee. According to McCloy, the three injured workers were in the dryer area of the facility at the time of the incident. The fire was quickly contained and there were no reports of equipment damage. At the time of the incident, the plant was in a maintenance shutdown. WorkSafeBC had last inspected the mill on June 17, 2014. At the time of that inspection, it was determined that "combustible dust issues were being managed." Investigations have not yet determined whether there was an explosion or a fire on Oct. 9.

The oddball cat
What to do with school boards?
I have recently accepted an opportunity to house sit for a few months. Since I am new in town and have zero furniture, I figured it would be a great way to get my feet off the ground. The house has proven to be a very convenient living situation for me, although it came with a challenge. Two, in fact. Their names are Fur and Storm (OK, these are not the cats’ real names, but I figured I should protect their privacy, especially because one of them terrifies me and I don’t want to irritate her). Just so you know, I am not completely unfamiliar with the feline world; I grew up with a male cat. But considering I was a child, I didn’t actually have to do anything responsible such as cleaning his litter box, feeding or brushing him. Since my experience with cats is so limited, maybe I shouldn’t have said “yes” when one of the house owners asked me if I was a cat person. I also shouldn’t have assumed that my past experience with dogs would be of any help. But thanks to Google, I now know the basics of what a cat needs (at least in theory). It’s actually distracting to look for information online about cats when there are so many hilarious YouTube cat videos out there (which also made the process of writing this column so much longer). But where was I? Oh yes, Fur and Storm. Fur, as the fake name suggests, is a lovely cat. She loves to cuddle, she respects my space and she never asks for anything unless it’s offered to her. When I am reading a book on the couch, she gently lays next to me and keeps me company (sometimes she lays around my neck, which is weird, but I figure I should just let her be). If she was a person, I like to imagine she would be a sophisticated 30-year-old woman who spends a lot of time at the library studying anthropology. That’s definitely the vibe she puts out. Storm, as the name also suggests, is a little more complicated. When she first saw me walking into the house, she produced this terrifying hissing sound. I was scared at first, but I figured she was just protecting her space against an uninvited visitor – me. Storm doesn’t like to be petted. Actually, she likes to be petted for a little while, but she will bite if it’s not the way she intended it to be. Storm also makes these inexplicable noises, and it’s literally impossible to figure out what she wants. Sometimes she will start howling, and other times she will start crying or hissing for no apparent reason. But the worst part is that her favourite time to produce all these lovely sounds is when I am asleep. Of course there is not much I can do then besides having a million earplugs handy. In a desperate attempt to make her feel more comfortable, I have tried talking to her, petting, giving her daily treats, brushing her hair and playing with her. Nothing seems to have made any difference. You would think she doesn’t appreciate my company, but she also cries when I leave the room. To be fair, I should tell you Storm is a survivor. As the story goes, she left home and ended up getting lost a few years ago. It took her two entire years before she was found. I can only imagine the things she must have gone through. So I definitely don’t blame her for having some trust issues around new people. Besides, I know she misses her actual owners. In order to get some advice, I have honestly debated posting a YouTube video of her so that an expert can tell me what she really needs. In the meantime, I guess I will have to keep hoping she warms up to me. And, of course, keep buying those earplugs.
Last Week’s Question:
The saddest manifestation of British Columbia’s modern democracy has produced its judgment, with the election of school trustees for the next four years. There are still independent, community-minded trustees, but mostly “boards of education” have become the neglected, exploited stepchild of B.C. politics. Teacher union locals and CUPE-dominated “labour councils” organize candidate forums and ask most of the questions, often to former teachers holding and seeking school board seats. Unions finance the campaigns of those who pledge to act as a bullhorn for constant demands for more provincial money, and instruct their members to vote for what should be called the Conflict of Interest slate. This has been going on for so long in B.C. it is seen as normal. Trustees who most loudly plump for their union masters tend to win, thanks to low turnout. The public mostly doesn’t give a damn, since school property tax authority was centralized in Victoria many years ago, largely because of this special interest pressure. The classic case is in Coquitlam, where one could almost hear the theme from The Godfather as local CUPE boss Dave Ginter appeared before the board of education in February. He informed the elected trustees that their collective financial acumen wasn’t up to his standards and some of them would have to go this fall. “Obviously, the chore I have is to find new trustees,” Ginter clarified in an interview with the Tri-City News as the union’s candidate selection machine stirred to life. Ginter seems to have made them an offer they couldn’t refuse on Saturday, with formerly union-blessed trustees turfed out in favour of a new group. Then there’s Vancouver Island, where the 1970s survived, at least until Saturday night. Cowichan school board got itself fired by the province in 2012 for refusing to submit a balanced budget. Two of the trustees who think the job is to flout the balanced budget rule and instead demand a “needs budget” ran again. They were joined on a slate by two others who apparently still believe the answer to every problem is to shout for “more government funding.” They didn’t get in, as voters appear to have been unimpressed by seeing their school board replaced by a provincially-appointed manager for two years. That brings up a modest proposal. How about an appointed trustee for each of the 60 school districts? School boards have lost authority over taxation, curriculum (another area of constant union social engineering pressure) and now labour relations. Do we really need them any more? After the 2013 B.C. election, the Christy Clark government wasted no time taking control of union bargaining on behalf of school districts. Trustees were pushed out of the bargaining agency, no longer trusted to represent taxpayers for that duty either. The puppet role of some school trustees was evident in the recent teacher strike. When the province opted to pay parents for the disruption, there was a chorus of protest from those supposedly elected to represent the interests of parents and taxpayers. School tax rates are now set by cabinet order, and the B.C. Liberal government is considering a move to regulate local industrial taxes. (This would presumably be to keep unioninfluenced municipalities from trying to get too many golden eggs from those liquefied natural gas plants.) Would Education Minister Peter Fassbender and his team continue their remake by amalgamating or eliminating school boards? Not likely. With a rare teacher settlement in place, trustees will have less incentive to grandstand. And their meetings may become something more than union beef sessions.

Hunters caught in illegal activities could face fines up to $50,000 depending on the case. Total moose killed in 2012 were 217 in local area. Current stats not available yet. MOOSE from t P2 “The further north you go, the less public assistance you get,” he said. “But we have to be out there, and in a lot of cases, find the crime.” The Conservation Officer Service often schedules unannounced patrols to surprise hunters and detect violations. “The average hunter has good ethics, but some people are fence riders - if they think they can get away with something, they might fall on the wrong side of the fence,” said Sgt. Nixon. If caught in illegal activities, hunters could face losing their firearms and hunting privileges, as well as paying fines. The B.C. Wildlife Act sets out fines from $5000 to $50,000 depending on the severity of the case. A loaded firearm in a motor vehicle, for example, could mean a $230 fine. People hunting animals outside of the open season could face a fine of $575. Other B.C. Wildlife Act violations reported this season include use of illicit drugs and alcohol while hunting. “If we come across a more serious violation, we send people straight to court,” said Sgt. Nixon. “Bottom line is that it [illegal activity] is not worth it.” General open seasons do not issue a set number of tags, according Greig Bethel, public affairs officer for the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations. Instead, GOS provide a so-called bag limit, representing the maximum number of animals a hunter can harvest in a season and a restricted length of season. The GOS bag limit for the Burns Lake area hunt is one bull (antlered) moose per hunter. The province is divided into a series of geographically defined wildlife management units (MUs). The MUs for the area around Burns Lake are MU 6-4 (south of Burns Lake) and MU 6-5 (local area). “The most recent data we have for the 2012 general open season is 897 hunters (MU 6-4) and 151 hunters (MU-6-5),” said Bethel. “The estimated total number of moose harvested for the 2012 general open season was 168 moose for MU 6-4, and 49 moose for MU 6-5.” To report known or suspected wildlife violations, dial 1-877-952-7277.

Looking pretty but not for the old folks
Editor: How can we expect young people to stay here when they can't even start their life here? We want to keep our young people here and jobs will help but without the main support for young families -- it is not going to happen. When I moved here, quite a while ago I'll admit, our hospital had many more beds, an operating room, maternity ward and was well-staffed. Now our percentage of population is older and we have fewer beds. If I had just gotten married and was looking to locate my family for the long haul, would I choose a place where there was no maternity ward, no way. I raised seven children and they had the normal number of illnesses, accidents, and were treated in the "old" hospital but they all have left. They went where they could stay together for pregnancies, etc. Also, at the other end of life, Burns Lake is looking pretty but not practical for older residents. I challenge the council and mayor to get on crutches and go shopping. Those beautiful bumps are making it harder for handicapped to reach some stores and to get into some is a nightmare for wheelchairs as well as crutches. When you are adding to our town, remember the old saying, "Beauty is as Beauty does" refers to more than just people. Thank you for considering these ideas. Sincerely. Geneva Wiseman

Dedicated people make our Remembrance Day special
As I was unable to attend the Remembrance Day celebration I was given a report of this very special day from a good friend. By all reports it was done up as usual which was super. So many folks have put their all into it to make so special. We are so fortunate to have such a wonderful and talented choir to take part. Also we have a bugler as well as a piper to take part. Then lunch at the legion to top it all off. No wonder it was a special day with so many dedicated people to make it a true Remembrance Day not soon forgotten. Forever remembered, hats off to you Burns
Lake. Even the weather went along with you. Water level With all the rain we have been having the good news Francois Lake has come up two inches. It had been going down steady all summer. It’s not very often you look out the window and see grass and bare ground in the middle of November. We do need the snow but it will come if not soon but maybe later. Looking back now many years ago I remember a funny winter like this one. This winter I’m talking about was now years ago. No snow just open like this. Our family went to the Christmas service at St. Luke’s, Francois Lake, wearing shoes no big coats just a nice day. After service I walked across the field to check on a mare I thought was in the wire. I took off in my low shoes across the hay field she was fine so I walked home, roads like summer time. But
mother nature had something in store for us as during the night it started to blow and snow and it dropped to minus 30. No traffic moving Christmas night or the next day, Boxing Day. Water lines gone, what a day that was. Yes we sure got winter with a bang and big time. I wonder how many old-timers will remember that winter. As soon as the wind died down the lake froze over. Sure hope that this happens this year. We can’t control the weather, maybe a good thing we can’t. All we can do is talk about it. It’s Friday morning and last night I looked out the window still no snow and a bite in the air. Minus 14, this will freeze the ground not a good thing for next summer’s crops as the spring runoff will run off instead of run in. That was our dad’s prediction, right or wrong. Not good for the hay fields. Taxi years This is a little story I had better get off my
chest before I forget it as it’s going back almost 70 years. We had been in the store and post office since 1941 so we saw the need of a taxi business as the only other taxi was in Burns Lake. Our friend Bill Hichmore with K.D. Co. said hang tough for a day or so I think I know of a deal, just what you want. Bill had leased a big Chev sedan, six cylinder, like new just had a complete new motor as the other original motor blew up with Bill. So I phoned the G.M.C. wigs O’Neil, Bill Hichmore and I met in Smithers with them and I walked out of there for $700 with an almost new car just the one for a good safe taxi. After I had put 100,000 miles on it I sold it to Mike and Mabel Tetreau and it did them well. I had many cars after the Chev but it did the best. I notice the prices of cars today, imagine buying an almost new car for $700, shows what’s happened to our dollar today. When Mike and Mabel
were done with my old Chev they sold it to Tommy Jack and he made a Bennet Buggy out of it. I thought what an ending for a grand old car. Any car had to be tough as the roads are not much more than a goat trail but through the years have vastly improved and now as good as any place. In my early years my first cab had to have the frame welded twice due to the road conditions and it was a heavy car with a heavy frame. Prices have changed very much as a fare to Burns Lake was $3 then went up to $5 then up to $10 and now over $20. Compare the price of fuel during my years to the price today. We were selling fuel during those early years three gallons for $1, 50 cents for a quart of oil. At $3 a trip to town I made money. Another trip I well remember I had a phone call to pick up a family from the Short ranch at Colleymount. They would meet me at the main Colleymount
road. The Short road had too much snow. It was early evening so I waited and I wondered how they were coming and it was snowing again. So I sat and waited then out of the snow was the shadow of a horse and then as I waited there I could see the horse was pulling a car full of people. What a way to travel. The snow was too deep for the car so they used the next best thing, the horse to tow the car as it was out of gas I guessed but the heavy snow on the road was the main reason for the horse. Those old days were hard but also left me with good memories that I can share a second time. My granddaughter I was very proud to see the picture of my granddaughter Marlee Wilson and her family in our last issue of Lakes District News. She is standing up for a very good cause to help soon to be mothers. Keep up the good work Marlee, you will have lots of mothers and fami-
lies behind you. Dinner at the hall On Saturday evening last there was the dinner of the year at the Francois Lake Hall. The hall was packed with great generous hungry folks. What a dinner it was, turkey and all the good things that went with it. The tables were all set up so everyone was comfortable. The kitchen staff were kept busy doing their thing. And what a professional job they all did. This dinner was a fund raiser for the hall and the generosity that was shown came from the heart. There was also a musical group plus a youth choir. These were also very good. No matter what I say I can’t do the whole evening full justice, really what it deserves. The whole evening deserves my pet word superdeluvial. Great job to the folks that organized it all. Take care and have a safe week and always remember God loves you and so do I.

tinue that work [assessing LNG's impact] as a nation." However, Lake Babine Nation has a different approach when it comes to the Enbridge Northern Gateway Pipelines project. A unanimous motion was carried during the meeting to reject the pipeline project. Other important issue discussed during the meeting was in regards to the recent June 26 Supreme Court Case called Roger Williams vs the Crown, or the Tsilghot’in decision. The case deals with Aboriginal rights and title. The Tsilghot’in government won the case, and Chief Adam said he “fully supports” the decision that was made. “This confirms what we as native people always knew,” said Chief Adam. “That this is our land.” Lake Babine Nation is now focusing on its own battles such as having their treaty - the 1906 Barricade Treaty - recognized federally.
“We need to think about what we will do from now on,” said the chief. According to Chief Adam, the meeting was also an opportunity for the nation to update all programs offered to its citizens. With elections coming up in June 2015, they discussed the need to review and update its election code.

Lake Babine Nation's Chief Wilf Adam said this years' Annual General Assembly (AGA) was the most successful meeting the nation has ever had. "We had a full house," said Chief Adam. Approximately 300 to 400 people attended each day of nation's sixteenth AGA. The event took place on Nov. 12, 13 and 14 at the Margaret Patrick Memorial Centre. This year's theme was "Ned'uten Title and Rights: dancing to the beat of our own drum." One of the main topics discussed during the meeting was about Liquified Natural Gas (LNG) pipelines. TransCanada is proposing a 146-km pipeline going though Lake Babine Nation's territory. "The B.C. government is pushing LNG through our territory and we must, as a collective, make it work Join us Fridays for the for our nation," said month of November for: Chief Adam in a statement handed out during the meeting.

Burns Lake Community Forest Ltd. would like to remind everyone to
DRIVE TO WINTER CONDITIONS Christmas is almost upon us and with it comes travel... so please drive safely. Here are some winter driving tips: • Keep four seconds rather than two seconds between you and the car you are tailing; • Watch out for areas of black ice such as shaded areas, overpasses or bridges. One extremely bad area to always use caution is the overpass near Bednesti on the way to Prince George; • Avoid sudden moves with your vehicle and know how to handle a skid; • Plan extra time to get to where you want to go; • Read the owner’s manual regarding the maximum speed your vehicle can travel in four wheel drive; • Be extremely cautious when approaching highway maintenance vehicles such as snow plows and salt or sand trucks.
And remember that winter driving is all about traction. Use winter tires, sand bags and whatever else is at your disposal to get more traction!
Safe driving from Burns Lake Community Forest For more info on the community forest, call BL ComFor (250) 692-7724

Interactive career exploration fair provided visitors with hands-on experiences Flavio Nienow
WorkBC's Find Your Fit tour, an interactive fair aimed to help young people understand the necessary skills they will need for tomorrow's in-demand occupations, made a stop in Burns Lake. The event took place at Lakes District Secondary School on Nov. 14, 2014. Visitors had a chance to try their hand at different skills through activity stations involving welding, carpentry, accounting and heavy equipment simulators. Youth in the community who are just beginning to think about potential careers had a chance to be connected with WorkBC's labour market information, tools and services. The event was also a good opportunity for parents, teachers and career counsellors as they look for ways to educate and support youth in their career exploration. The event had visits from students in the morning
and was open to members of the community in the afternoon. Nechako Lakes MLA John Rustad said in a press release, "by exploring the interactive activity stations offered through the Find Your Fit tour, youth will gain exposure to the array of future job opportunities available to them." According to a press release by the Ministry of Technology, Innovation and Citizens' Services, by 2022, B.C. is expecting one million job openings created by retirements and the growing economy. More than 78 per cent of jobs will require some form of post-secondary education, and 43 per cent will need skilled trades and technical workers. "We're working with school districts to make sure students have the opportunity to start career experiences earlier so they are better prepared for the skills and trades jobs of the future," said Minister of Education Peter Fassbender in a news release. Find Your Fit is part of B.C.'s skills for jobs blueprint commitment to re-engineer education and deliver the skilled workforce B.C.'s growing economy needs. "The Find Your Fit tour will ensure that our youth have the tools and resources necessary to consider the full range of in-demand occupations available to them," said Shirley Bond, Minister of Jobs, Tourism and Skills Training in a news release.

Air quality compromised in Burns Lake
11
Have you seen the new sweaters from
Alison Sheri
...Absolutely amazing quality and gorgeous pops of colour
FLAVIO NIENOW On Nov. 17, the Ministry of Environment in collaboration with the Northern Health Authority issued an Air Quality Advisory for Houston and Burns Lake because of "renewed high concentrations of fine particulates" which were expected to persist until a weather change on Nov. 18. Open burning restrictions were in effect in Burns Lake and surrounding areas, meaning that no new fires should have been initiated and no additional material should have been added to existing fires. From Nov. 13 to 15, a similar advisory was issued for Burns Lake and area. The reason for the advisory was due to high concentrations of fine particulates in the air caused by wood smoke (wood stoves and/or open burning) as well as emissions from industry and transportation sources such as automobiles, trucks and rail traffic. A strong high pressure ridge, as well as the night time inversions and light winds generated poor venting conditions in the area. On Nov. 13, Smithers, Telkwa and Houston received the same advisory. However, as of 4 p.m. on Nov. 12, Burns Lake had the most polluted air in the area, with a 24-hour average PM2.5 (particular matter) concentration of 35.2. Smithers had a concentration of 23.1, followed by Telkwa with 20.7, and Houston with 20. When this kind of advisory is in place, residents should avoid the use of wood stoves and fireplaces unless used as the sole source of residential heat. Reduction in both outdoor burning and the use of wood burning stoves contribute to cleaner air. With this kind of advisory, people with chronic underlying medical conditions should postpone strenuous exercise. Staying indoors helps to reduce fine particulate exposure. Exposure is particularly a concern for infant and the elderly. Real-time air quality information for B.C. communities can be found at www. bcairquality.ca.

Burns Lake Public Library Invites you to the 32nd Annual
Christmas Craft Fair
Flavio Nienow Last summer, after a 12-hour day of working with some rock bands in the lower mainland, the band Speed Control had their trailer broken into and approximately $7000 worth of gear stolen including instruments, cables, pedals and microphones. A Burns Lake group called Friends of Speed Control - including John and Sandra Barth, Acoustic Anonymous and other community members - organized a benefit concert on Nov. 10 at the Beacon Theatre to help the band replace some of the stolen equipment. The event included the performance of Acoustics Anonymous, as well as Amy Gutteridge, the Linger band featuring Trevor Stewart and Blake Hallgreen, and a group performance by Randy, Julia and Nicole Hamp. The band Speed Control also made a memorable appearance during the event, engaging the crowd to sing along to classic songs and energizing the public with spontaneous jokes and dance moves. The Whitehorse band has made a lot of friends in the Lakes District over the years, performing on stage with local bands, playing for students at Lakes District Secondary School and running two summer Rawk Camps in the summers of 2013 and 2014. John said the fundraiser was an opportunity for people in the Lakes District to give back to "a band that has given a lot to the community and to our kids." "We wanted to help them because they have given so much of their time and energy and

‘When That I Was’
Thursday evening, November 27th, 2014 Theatre doors open at 7:00 pm Performance starts at 7:30 pm in the LDSS MPR
It’s 1650, and the Puritans have closed all the theatres in England. Old Jack Rice was once a famous actor, but now is down on his luck. As a boy, he performed in Shakespeare’s troupe, met and performed with all the famous actors of his day. Now on the run, he’s snuck back into a deserted theatre for some shelter. He himself is nothing more than a dusty, abandoned old scrap of humanity - but his memory can take us to Queen Elizabeth’s palace, to the opening night of King Lear, and everywhere in between. ‘When That I Was’ deals with aging, homelessness and the power of art in troubled and dangerous times.

Rotary auction fundraiser (L-R) Lynda Maertz, Chris Beach, Anne Currie and Kelsy Hanson all volunteered at the radio auction. This year marked 46 years of the Rotary Radio Auction. The auction is the Burns Lake Rotary Club’s biggest fundraiser. This year the club raised just over $36,000. The success of the auction is not only from the generous people donating items but to everyone who calls in and buys items. This year was the second biggest money maker in auction history, in 2006 the club raised $42,000. All money raised goes towards projects in Burns Lake with none going to administration as Rotarians are all strictly volunteers.
THANK YOU! •

Nominate health stars
Northern Health launches Community Health Star Program Flavio Nienow
Do you know someone in Burns Lake who has contributed greatly to the health and wellbeing of the community? If the answer is yes, you might want to nominate this person to Northern Health's Community Health Stars program. The newly launched program will highlight exceptional individuals and the impact that they are
Aubrey and the boys, as well as Jack and Beatrice Anderson and Nicole Anderson would like to send out a heartfelt thank you for the overwhelming love and support given to our families in this time of need. A special thank you to those who have sent beautiful flowers, delicious food and heartwarming cards and comforting company. There is no way to express how grateful and appreciative we truly are for everyone’s thoughts and prayers and wonderful support. Mike has left us with many great laughs and memories. He will forever be in our hearts and will truly be missed by us all. Thank you to all, lots of love Aubrey, (wife) Linden and Evan, (sons) Jack and Beatrice Anderson (parents) and Nicole Anderson (sister)

Thank you
having on their communities. One Community Health Star will be selected each month from the list of nominees and will win a Northern Health Fit Kit in addition to being highlighted in their local communities and on the Northern Health Matters blog at http://blog.northernhealth.ca. Wayne Mould, from Dawson Creek, is one of these ordinary citizens that are doing extraordinary things. Mould overcame kidney cancer at 70 years old. Only one year later, Mould ran a marathon, winning in his age group. Community Health Stars will also include Seamus Damstrom, from Terrace. The 15-year old is the only northerner on the Healthy Living Youth Council. He is now helping bring healthier foods into his school canteen. Community Health Star Myles Mattila, a 15-year-old Prince George resident, has partnered with mindcheck.ca to promote mental health in youth through delivering school presentations. Mattila, whose hockey teammate and friend suffered from mental illness, was inspired to try to help his friend after finding out that Vancouver Canuck Kevin Bieksa was involved with the website. “Northern Health knows that there are a lot of people across our region doing a lot of outstanding work to improve their own health and the health of their fellow community members,” said Sabrina Dosanjh-Gantner, Northern Health lead for healthy community development. “They’re doing this amazing work, on their own time, because they recognize how important health is. We want to shine the light on these people to highlight their amazing community involvement, to spread the importance of personal health and risk management, and to inspire others to support building healthier northern communities.” To nominate someone in Burns Lake, go to northernhealth.ca.

I’m often asked how Malware, particularly the type that attaches itself to your web browser and spams you with advertisements, gets onto a computer. The simple answer is usually “checkboxes”. There’s a lot of software available for free on the Internet. Only it’s not actually free, you’re just paying for it in a different way. A lot of free programs are “sponsored” by advertising companies, using the popularity of the free program to expand their target audience while giving the developer a small source of income. When installing these free programs, you’ll usually find a checkbox somewhere at the bottom of the installer window offering some additional software you don’t actually want. The text next to the check box will often be smaller than the text found elsewhere in the installer, encouraging you not to read it in classic fine print manner. If you see a check box anywhere during a software installation, stop and carefully read the description next to it. If it’s optional software, it’s best to uncheck it unless you’re absolutely sure you want it. If you can’t uncheck it, you need to decide if the free program is worth the trouble of hunting down and removing the extra junk.
GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21: Being hot then cold is sometimes the Gemini way. Shifting feelings and being mercurial is just how you’re made, and those who call you friend will have to adapt. CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22: Cancer, you are full of ideas this week and you can put them to good use by being as vocal as you can at work. Suggest a brainstorming session with other employees.

LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23: Leo, be genuine and speak from the heart this week. Your compassion for other people’s feelings will help a dear friend who will be grateful and appreciative of your kindness. VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22: Do not judge a book by its cover, Virgo. That person you have been checking out is entirely different from what you first imagined. It’s time to delve deeper. LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23: The element of surprise can work well for your love life this week, Libra. Do something unexpected, and you and your significant other will be happy with the results.

of the Week The National NewspaperPetAssociation Remembering Walter Otto Posselt has done research on how people read and what they think about their local newspapers:
Born April 13, 1927 in Hartmannsdorf/Germany, perished unexpected November 8, 2013 in Tacloban City/Philippines during Typhoon Haiyan. Walter was an inventor, pioneer and adventurer. He lived his life with zest to the fullest. Anything he did, he tackled with all his energy. When he was 16 years old, he became a glider pilot and flew reconnaissance missions during World War II. He was captured and ended up in an American POW camp. After the war, he lived in Berlin where he became a technical engineer. He married Irmgard Kummer in 1951. In the late 50’s they moved to southern Germany where they raised their three sons. It was there that Walter started his own very successful business, inventing and manufacturing a piece of office equipment that is still being produced and used to this day. In 1970 the family decided to emigrate to Canada, where they eventually settled on the beautiful Home Creek Ranch in Cheslatta. Ranch life had its challenges, especially when they lived in an old one room log cabin with 4 people, assorted critters and no running water, telephone or hydro. Over the following years, the family built fences, a large feedlot, barns, shops and a beautiful log home with indoor pool and sauna, in that order. In the early 80’s Walter and Irmgard separated. About 10 years later, Walter left his old life behind him once again and moved to the Philippines. He eventually married Imelda Superales, with whom he lived happily until his untimely passing. Walter was predeceased by his sister Hilde Schwerdtner and his eldest son Juergen. He is survived by his wife Imelda and her large family, his brother Kurt Posselt (Hedwig), sons Klaus (Angelika) and Frank (Ulrike), his grandchildren Peter (Shirley), Stephan (Lauren), Marc (Tunde), Hanna, Claudia (Tim) and Wolf and his great grandchildren David, Broden, Claire and Alera. Walter will be missed by his family and many friends on three continents.

It’s 1650, and the Puritans have closed all the theatres in England. Old Jack Rice was once a famous actor, but now is down on his luck. As a boy, he performed in Shakespeare’s troupe, met and performed with all the famous actors of his day. Now on the run, he’s snuck back into a deserted theatre for some shelter. He himself is nothing more than a dusty, abandoned old scrap of humanity - but his memory can take us to Queen Elizabeth’s palace, to the opening night of King Lear, and everywhere in between. ‘When That I Was’ deals with aging, homelessness and the power of art in troubled and dangerous times.
