Residents notice strange leaf

The area is seeing an outbreak of the aspen leaf miner

FLAVIO NIENOW Burns Lake residents have noticed strange leaf markings lately. The markings are caused by the aspen leaf miner (Phyllocnistis populiella), a transcontinental pest of trembling or small tooth aspen. “I’ve seen the aspen leaf miner in my yard and all over town,” said Burns Lake resident Walt van der Kamp. “Most people I talk to have also noticed

them.” According to Greig Bethel, Public Affairs Officer for the ministry of forests, lands and natural resource operations, the aspen leaf miner has been very common in Burns Lake over the past five years. Bethel said the ministry hasn’t taken any preventive or control measures because there is no commercial market for trembling aspen, and the trees seem to survive the attacks. “There are no risks to people, and usually the trees recover from the attack by producing more foliage,” he said. The larvae mine the leaf contents but leave the upper and lower cuticle in place. There is one generation ...see ASPEN TREES ▼ P11

Burns Lake Replacing arena ice plant questioned thrift store suffers B&E Michael Riis-Christianson

RCMP is seeking the public’s assistance in identifying suspect(s)

Flavio Nienow A break and enter has taken place at the Thrift Shop and Consignment Store located on Fourth Avenue in Burns Lake. The Burns Lake RCMP received a call from a concerned pedestrian who had observed a smashed window and the front door ajar on June 8, 2015. The break and enter is believed to have occurred between Sunday June 7 at 2 p.m. and Monday June 8 at 6:35 a.m. A police investigation is on-going and at this time it is unknown what the loss of value is to the business. The RCMP is requesting the public's assistance in identifying the suspect(s) responsible for the break and enter. If you have any information please call Crime Stoppers at 250-222-8477 or the Burns Lake RCMP detachment 250-692-7171. Store owners are reminded to remove cash from businesses, have the business well lit even when closed, as well as video surveillance to help prevent break and enters.

Village council is budgeting for replacement of the Tom Forsyth Memorial Arena’s ice plant in 2016 – a move that could save taxpayers more than $500,000 over the next 11 years. At its regular meeting June 9, council agreed to replace the arena’s existing ammonia ice plant next year with one that uses a halocarbon such as Freon. The existing ammonia ice plant would likely last another 10 years with regular maintenance, but staff members told local elected officials last week that it makes good financial sense to replace the entire system now. Dooseon Jung, Burns Lake’s director of recreation services, advised council in a memorandum dated June 2 that the arena’s existing chiller – a piece of equipment that removes heat from a liquid – is due for replacement in 2017 at a cost of up to $160,000. While this would allow the current ice plant to remain in operation until approximately 2025, she indicated that switching to a Freon ice plant at a cost of $450,000 (excluding taxes) would likely save the village money in the long run while reducing or eliminating a number of human resource issues. Jung noted that because ammonia is a hazardous substance, the municipality is required to have certified staff on duty – even when the arena’s ice plant isn’t operating. Finding, training, and keeping employees certified in operation of the ammonia cooling system is difficult, she said, because the arena is open only a portion of each year. “The biggest challenge for arena management is finding qualified staff and budgeting for wages,” she stated in her memorandum. “The current ammonia plant system requires (that) at least one seasonal attendant with a ticket be on site during operation hours, which includes the curling rink and Lakeside Multiplex. Additionally, this system requires that while the plant is on, a fifth class engineer must stay in the building at least three hours a day.” According to Jung, training employees to run the arena’s existing ammonia ice plant has cost the village an average of $5000 in each of the past three years. Once trained, the facility’s unionized employees are eligible for wage increases of more than $7 per hour, but even that hasn’t been enough to keep them here. “Due to the high turnover ratio of arena attendants, the arena

foreman has been continuously searching for new employees and training them,” she explained. “Moreover, the village is paying for the training courses and exams for new employees to get the safety awareness tickets and the 5th class engineer tickets… Most the arena staff have acquired tickets and subsequently received a wage increase from $16.24/hour to $23.33/hour based on our union contract. Despite receiving training at the village’s expense and in turn benefitting from increases wages, arena employees have left the village because it is a seasonal operation.” Because Freon is considered less hazardous a substance, ice plants that use it in the refrigeration process do not require constant supervision. Training costs are also lower; Jung said that according to officials in Vanderhoof, employees can operate that community’s Freon ice plant with only 30 minutes of training. While the costs associated with operating ammonia and Freon ice plants are comparable, Jung said switching to a Freon plant could save the municipality as much as $60,000 in wages and training costs each year. Despite the anticipated savings, paying to install a new plant next year won’t be easy. The $160,000 budgeted for chiller replacement in 2017 will fund a portion of the $450,000 expense, and municipal officials hope to find at least another $87,000 in grant funding. The remaining $203,000 will likely have to be borrowed. While most councillors were supportive of the proposal, as least one – Susan Schienbein – asked if it had been discussed with the local minor hockey association and curling club. She indicated that when Vanderhoof switched to a Freon ice plant, it experienced some difficulties maintaining ice in the arena. Arena foreman Charlie Bowerbank responded by saying he doesn’t expect the switch will cause issues here. The quality of ice in both the arena and curling rink, he said, shouldn’t be affected. He added that Vanderhoof’s difficulties likely stemmed from the fact the Freon plant there lost its “charge” twice not long after being commissioned. “Hopefully, that isn’t going to happen here,” he said, adding the new plant here will have a sophisticated leak detection system. This year, wage and benefit costs for the Tom Forsyth Memorial Arena are expected to top $187,000.

Life is stranger than fiction

The realities of recreation

Last week I watched an interview of a great Brazilian actress. She was talking about her life prior to success, and how she overcame her life struggles. During the interview, she said something that really stuck with me, “life is always more surprising than fiction.” I thought about that statement for a while and I think there is truth to it. Hollywood keeps trying to sell us extraordinary fantasies; books try to transport us to alternative realities; and special effects can even give us a close sense of reality. But in the end… nothing is more surprising than real life. Think about that for a second. Could you have predicted how some of the events in your life would play out? Did you know you were going to live in Burns Lake? Did you know you would have this kind of job? Did you ever imagine you would marry that person (or have 17 cats)? Take the Titanic, for example. Titanic was considered the largest moving man made object of all time in 1912. The floating palace contained some of the finest examples of craftsmanship and was the pride of the White Star Line fleet. A White Star Line employee, at the launch of the Titanic, said “not even God himself could sink this ship.” On April 15, 1912, the “unsinkable ship” struck an iceberg and ended up in the depths of the Atlantic Ocean. Generations have been fascinated by this tragedy, and we even made a 3D movie about it (that we have all seen at least two or three times). I wonder if Shakespeare himself could have imagined such a tragedy. But you certainly don’t have to go so far to find incredible stories. Lakes District News has been following the life of Rhoda Williams. The mother of four, originally from Lake Babine Nation, was diagnosed with primary biliary cirrhosis in 2010. Rhoda needed a liver transplant, and she was at the Vancouver General Hospital a couple of weeks ago waiting to find a donor match. When I spoke to her family a couple of weeks ago, I could sense their preoccupation because they did not know how long it would take for Rhoda to find a donor match. I can only imagine how nerve wrecking that must have been. Meanwhile, her four sons could not afford to stay in Vancouver to be close to her, so Rhoda’s family in Burns Lake took action and organized a fundraiser. Rhoda’s cousin, Wendy Brown, ran 23 km from Francois Lake to Burns Lake along with her companion, 10-year-old Ashely, on June 7. Right before the fundraiser, Rhoda received news that specialists had found a donor match. So while Wendy and Ashley were running to raise money on June 7, Rhoda was having a liver transplant surgery in Vancouver. As soon as the fundraiser was over, Rhoda’s family in Burns Lake received news that the surgery had been successful. What a great turn of events! It was very rewarding to cover this story because I was able to witness how the events played out – from how concerned the family was just two weeks ago to how relieved they all felt when this was over. I am also constantly surprised with events in my own life. For example, I would never have imagined that I would be writing for a newspaper in a different country. In fact, if you told me this would happen 10 years ago, I would probably not have believed it (I still wanted to be an astronaut back then). Just when we think we got it all worked out, that we know exactly what our path is, something new happens and all of a sudden there is a whole new course. Maybe the secret is to adapt and learn along the way, as oppose to desperately hang on to the plan we had.

Has recreation changed over time? The objective of recreation hasn’t necessarily changed; however, expectations and how it is funded has. Tax payers are now asked to contribute financially to recreation infrastructure and operations. The world of recreation has changed all over the country. For example when the Tom Forsythe Memorial Arena was built in the 1960s the community came together and built the arena with volunteer labour. It was an enormous effort, with passionate citizens working tirelessly to provide a place to play their favourite sport. The facility offered hockey, figure skating, and occasionally broomball. At that time, there was very little burden on the taxpayer. The Village owned the building, one employee handled the maintenance, and everything was run by volunteers. The cost of operation was, therefore, very low. In 2015, as a result of tightened safety regulations, construction costs have soared. What once could have been accomplished by the volunteerism of a local handyperson, now requires safety inspections, engineering reports, and a certified tradesperson. The volunteer groups who coordinated the operation of the facilities were leaned upon too heavily and burned out, which left coordination in the hands of Village employees. Additionally, our residents now request a much wider variety of recreation opportunities, including kids camps, floor hockey, summer programs, squash, tennis, rock climbing, fitness training and a host of other programs. Almost all of these activities are expected to be low cost so that people from all socio-economic backgrounds can participate. Programs like these are essential if we hope to attract and retain young professionals and their families in our community. All of these changes have contributed to increasing the cost of the services to the taxpayer. So yes, the taxpayer makes up the difference between revenue generated by user fees and the overall operating and capital costs of the arena, curling rink, and multiplex. After reviewing recreation in many communities one can quickly realize that most recreation complexes are owned and operated by a local government. Part of the reason for this is because recreation complexes are important to communities, but do not generate enough revenue for the private sector to operate them. Therefore a municipality or regional district is requested to build and operate the facilities. The Village of Burns Lake is striving to find a balance in affordable recreation by reviewing and adjusting user fees, offering new programs, reviewing hours of operation, reviewing costs, and making changes that result in more effective and efficient operations. It is no easy task to find a balance between community expectations and what is affordable. Burns Lake has seen many successful athletes compete at all levels including provincials, nationals, and even the Olympics. Recreation is a thriving, and ever-evolving enterprise in Burns Lake, and I am excited to see it continue to take shape. It is important for residents to continue to present ideas and opportunities for recreation services in our community. I want to thank those of you who have voiced your concerns about recreation in our community. I encourage you to take part in our engagement process this fall as we begin to discuss recreation and many other topics during our 2016 budget deliberations. I wish you all an excellent summer!

Don’t ask your neighbour for a bail out Editor: Reply to letter to the Editor by Bernice Magee. Don't cry foul after the financial games is over. Don't come back on the regional district regions E & B when the plan for the Lakeside Multiplex backfires. This idea is a spend first tax later proposal which we in region E & B had no participation in the decision making or outcome. If the project was built to attract doctors, health care workers and professionals then let them pay at the door. Because it is clear to me these people do not need to be surprised by any taxpayer. I would encourage everyone in region E & B to contact their

representative and let them know you do not want to participated in this losing development called Lakeside Multiplex. Our local governments cannot keep heaping taxes on taxes and expect people to pay and pay. If a person maxed out their credit card and then asked his neighbours to bail him out, he would not be at all popular. We have seen enough bail outs since 2008. What do you think?

The Pacific Northwest LNG plant proposed near Prince Rupert now has preliminary investment approval from its proponents, prompting confidence from Natural Gas Development Minister Rich Coleman that the massive project could be under construction by the end of this year. The consortium led by Malaysian firm Petronas confirmed it's ready to proceed and the only conditions for a final investment decision are federal environmental review approval and B.C. government approval of the project development agreement. The Legislature is expected to be recalled this summer to pass the deal providing tax and royalty certainty clearing the way for an expected $11-billion investment.

environmental assessment that makes the project impossible," Coleman told reporters Friday. He said a construction start is possible late this year that would see the first LNG shipments moving by the end of 2019. The outlook for LNG prices has darkened recently but Coleman said Petronas and its Asian partners have long-term contracts to sell the first 12 million tonnes of LNG. "This product is basically sold. They have the commercial viability on this one." Another problem for the project is aboriginal acceptance. The Lax Kw'alaams First Nation recently voted down a $1 billion cash offer from Petronas. More project design work and research is underway to address aboriginal concerns about the potential impact on salmon habitat at Flora Bank near the project site, Coleman said. "I think I see a sight line where we can satisfy the community," he said. "I think as we come through that you'll see that the Lax Kw'alaams will come together with every other first nation that's already endorsed the project in the area."

Lake Babine goes to the polls soon

ELECTIONS from ▼ P1 Charlie, Cheyenne Crouse Dennis, Darcy N. Dennis, Aaron R. Joseph, Maurice Joseph, Leonard Lawley, Cynthia Rose L. Lowley, Dwight A.R. Michell, Fabian J. Michell, Darren S. Patrick, Roger S. Patrick, Bridget R.I. Peter, Donald T.B. Prince, Cassie A. Siebert, Lucy Fortin Smith, Jerry F. Tom, Susie Tress, Henry West, Joel T. West, Ronnie M. West, Tyler West, Carmen J. Williams, Nancy Williams, and Raymond J. Williams. Fifteen people have been nominated to represent the community of Tachet on Lake Babine council, including incumbent Delores Alec. Other potential representatives of that community are Eugene K. Alec, Victor J. Alec Sr., Elizabeth C. Charlie, David J.R. Findlay, Louie George, Mildred M. (Alec) George, (Ronald) Ron George, Heather T. Joseph, Saint Paul Joseph, Corrine L. Leon, Johnson Tom, Victor Tom (of Tachet), June R. Williams, and Keller Williams. Incumbents Bessie West and Fred William have been nominated to represent Fort Babine around the Lake Babine Nation council table. Five other individuals – John P. West, Sonny J. West, Vickie A. West, Victor S. William, and Clara Williams –

have also been nominated for these positions. Incumbent Evelyn George, Matthew Alec, Raymond (Smoody) Alec Jr., (William) Bill A. Findlay, Verna H. Power, Debbi L. West, and Lori M. West have been nominated as potential councillors for the community of Old Fort. Although the number of nominations suggests this year’s ballot could be a long one, the electoral field could be less crowded by the time advance polls open next Tuesday (June 23). Electoral Officer Lawrence said last week it’s not uncommon to see a large number of nominees early in the Lake Babine Nation election process. Individuals nominated on June 5 had until 4:30 p.m. Monday (June 15) to file their Candidacy Acceptance Forms; those who failed to do so presumably had their names struck from the list of candidates. Nominees are prohibited from seeking more than one position. Lake Babine Nation members go to the polls July 3 to elect a chief, four councillors from Woyenne, two councillors each from Fort Babine and Tachet, and one from Old Fort. The term of office is three years. The Woyenne all-candidates forum will be held today (June 17) at the Margaret Patrick Centre from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m.

LNG proponent Pacific Northwest LNG assuring the $36-billion Petronas-led project of royalty and tax stability in B.C. "Clearly some of the largest companies in the world see the value in building a LNG industry in B.C.," Coleman said in a statement emailed by his office. "The fact is, LNG projects have lifespans of 30-50 years. So proponents are looking at the long-term economics when deciding the viability of a project . Many analysts are forecasting that B.C. LNG will be competitive over the long-term. We share that view." More records missing: NDP Opposition New Democrats claim they've found more examples of government staffers destroying records to stymie information requests. Privacy Commissioner Elizabeth Denham is already investigating the allegations of a transportation ministry staff member who said a supervisor deleted emails from his computer so they wouldn't be considered for public release through a Freedom of Information request for records related to the Highway of Tears. NDP critic Doug Routley said he has asked Denham to look into three more cases where FOI requests yielded no documents even though the NDP knew they exist because they turned up in overlapping information requests. “It’s clear that these public records are being routinely and deliberately destroyed, and the people of British Columbia deserve to know why," Routley said.

RCMP probe claims 'a mistake' Premier Christy Clark has apologized for wrongly claiming an RCMP investigation was underway in relation to several former health ministry researchers who the government fired in 2012. Clark characterized the investigation claims as an error but said little more when reporters asked her why the claims weren't recanted until RCMP documents were released to the Vancouver Sun under Access to Information. "It was a mistake that was made and that's why we apologized for it," Clark said. "When government makes mistakes government has an obligation to apologize." The released documents show the RCMP closed their file in the summer of 2014 because the force never received information from the province justifying a criminal investigation. Health Minister Terry Lake told reporters he was never informed the Mounties weren't investigating. The province previously admitted the firings were a mistake and settled out of court with most of the employees. One researcher committed suicide. NDP MLA Adrian Dix said the government intentionally misled the public for years on the RCMP probe and wrongly smeared the researchers despite legal advice against mentioning police involvement. LNG glut dims outlook for new plants A new report suggests the odds are getting longer for the B.C. government's dream of opening several liquefied natural gas export plants. The International Energy Agency warned a flood of new LNG supply is coming onto the market and new plants will struggle to get off the ground. "Several projects have already been scrapped or postponed, and the number of casualties will rise if prices do not recover," said the IEA's medium-term gas market report. The IEA cut its LNG growth forecast from 2.3 to 2.0 per cent a year. It noted the 17 new LNG projects already under construction Rio Tinto Alcan is hosting a will come on stream as planned and run flat out in an attempt to recover as much of their sunk costs as possible, further adding to the supply glut.

Project heavy duty for Burns Lake kids Rebecca Watson

Logging trucks, excavators, and bobcats are just a few pieces of equipment kids got to work on during this year’s Project Heavy Duty. Selected grades 10-12 kids from Burns Lake, Fraser Lake, Vanderhoof and Fort St. James took part in the 29 annual event in Vanderhoof for a hands-on taste of working with various heavy equipment machines. Each year the equipment and personal to run them are donated by local industry and we couldn’t do it without them, Darren Carpenter, Career Coordinator for School District 91 said. “If we had to pay it would probably cost upwards of $40-$50 thousand to rent all the machines for two days. There are some pretty expensive ones here,” he said pointing to a large excavator on site. The students spent two days outside rotating through 10 stations in groups of two working on 17 different machines.“We try to replicate the work site by having the loader fill the truck or excavator fill the rock truck and then come back and dump it so the grader can flatten it into a road. We try to make it as real Rebecca Watson Photo and relevant as we can so it’s actually what they would be doing on Nick Thompson 15, from Lakes District Secondary School operates a clam grapple at this year’s project heavy duty the job,” Carpenter said. program. logs.

More than just Concrete

DRIVERS: Hog the left lane and it will cost you $167 As of June 12, 2015, drivers will need a good reason to travel in the left lane on high-speed, multi-lane highways throughout the province of British Columbia. New regulations will come into effect that will clarify rules regarding travelling in the left lane. Drivers on multi-lane highways where the speed is more than 80 kilometres per hour must stay to the right unless they are: • Overtaking and passing another vehicle. • Moving left to allow traffic to merge. • Preparing for a left hand turn. • Moving left to pass an official vehicle displaying a flashing light. During periods of congestion, the actual travel speed drops to 50 kilometres per hour or less, drivers are encouraged to use left left-most lane to keep traffic flowing. Police can ticket drivers who should not be travelling in the left-most lane. The fine is $167, with three driver penalty points. In addition, new laws will allow the ministry to define winter tires, studded tires and traction devices such as chains in regulation. Another change will permit local governments to permit motorcycle parking within six metres of intersections with stop signs or signals, as long as drivers' views are not impeded. This will allow more efficient use of space that is not large enough for a car. Quick Facts: • Drivers cannot use the left-most lane of a highway with two or more lanes of traffic in the same direction and having a posted speed limit 80 kilometres per hour or greater, unless they are performing a specified action set out by the act. • The left-most lane does not include bus lanes or HOV lanes. On Highway 1 through Burnaby, for example, the left-most lane is the one next to the HOV lane. • When traffic is minimal and no one is approaching from behind, a driver can travel in the left-most lane. This allows drivers on four-lane highways in rural areas to keep a greater distance from the road sides where they might encounter wildlife. • Drivers may use the left-most lane if it is unsafe to use the right lane - for example, if there is debris in the lane. • This legislation allows for drivers to move to the left lane if they are passing a stopped official vehicle displaying red, blue or yellow flashing lights, such as police cars, ambulances, tow trucks and highway maintenance and construction vehicles.

Congressional gold medal arrives in Burns Lake

Burns Lake war veteran is in possession of his prestigious medal

Flavio Nienow In the story ' Burns Lake veteran to receive the highest honour ' published in the Lakes District News' Jan. 28, 2015, Burns Lake resident Alan Blackwell was about to receive the highest expression of national appreciation given by the Congress of the United States - the congressional gold medal. The leadership of the U.S. House and Senate presented the congressional gold medal in Washington on Feb. 3, 2015. However, Blackwell was not able to attend the ceremony due to health reasons. After a few months wait, Blackwell is finally in possession of his prestigious award. The congressional gold medal has recently arrived by mail to his Burns Lake address. “The medal is very impressive,” he said proudly. “It’s a pretty prestigious thing to have.” Among the people who have received such unique distinction are George Washington and Mother Teresa of Calcutta.

Truth and reconciliation commission Michael Riis-Christianson

Another local First Nations leader has weighed in on the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s findings. Karen Ogen, chief of the Wet’suwet’en First Nation, said last week that the commission’s findings are “a step in the right direction.” This country’s residential school system did significant harm to First Nations peoples, she says, and it’s something that all Canadians need to better understand and accept. “It (the residential school system) has affected how education is perceived, the parenting, the bonding between parents and children,” she said. “It instilled corporal punishment and nowadays children are taken into care for that reason. It has caused multi-generational trauma and syndrome of our children being taken into care… Some of them become chronic alcoholics because of the severe abuse and trauma, and not receiving the proper counselling and treatment.” Ogen fully agrees with commission’s statement that Canada practiced cultural genocide against its First Nations peoples for much of the 19th and 20th centuries. “Look at the stats on how many of our children died trying to run away from those schools in the winter,” she noted. “Some were murdered, some of the young girls were pregnant for the sexual abuse in those schools. Some have killed themselves because of the PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) of the abuse.” The Truth and Reconciliation Commission released its findings June 2 after six years of investigation into Canada’s residential school system. It also made 94 recommendations in its ‘Calls to Action’, and

Ogen hopes elected officials act on them. “As a leader, we see the generations impacted by this,” she said. “I am hoping that the follow-up with the recommendations (will) be done. This will showcase Canada's sincerity to part of its genocidal behavior, (and) that they are making their wrongs right with our people.” Ogen, who attended the Prince George College residential school in the late 1970s and early ‘80s, believes education should be a key component of any reconciliation program. Courses about the residential school system and the impact it had on aboriginal people should be mandatory for all Canadian students, she says. “I believe more education and awareness (is needed), and a complete and true understanding of the history of our people and how the Canadian government and the churches played a huge role in the genocide of our people,” she said. “(The commission has helped), but I believe Canada can make that even bigger, and make it an everyday part of Canadians’ education.” The Wet’suwet’en chief says this country’s policies toward aboriginal people have changed in the past 20 years, but only at “a very slow snail pace.” Federal and provincial governments, she suggests, still don’t treat this country’s First Nations as equal economic partners. “Look at the revenue-sharing distribution models for mining and forestry,” she stated.

“It should be a one-third, one-third, onethird, but First Nations are lucky to get five per cent of the pie. The Tsilhquo’tin case should help rectify this and change up the landscape on how revenue distribution should be done, according to the level of impact on our lands and territories. It’s about time we get our fair share, especially ...see WET’SUWET’EN t P14

Lakes District gains one-stop recycling centre

The Burns Lake Recycling Depot offers convenience to local residents FLAVIO NIENOW Lakes District residents can now take their packaging and printed paper recyclables to a one-stop recycling centre - the Burns Lake Recycling Depot. Located at 113 Park Street in Burns Lake, the new depot started collecting recyclables on June 2, 2015. “People [in the Lakes District] no longer have to transport things like plastics to Prince George and the Okanagan or farther to recycle them,” said owner Christopher Beach. The Burns Lake Recycling Depot joined the Multi-Material B.C. (MMBC) network of nearly 200 depots. The depot accepts all materials in MMBC’s residential packaging and printed paper recycling program, including non-deposit glass bottles and jars, plastic bags and plastic foam packaging, newsprint, cardboard, household papers, metal containers, plastic containers, and cartons and paper cups. The depot also collects batteries and mobile phones, smoke and C02 detectors, and all light bulbs. According to Beach, this is the first one-stop recycling centre in the Lakes District, and the first depot in area to offer a MMBC program. “Our new depot represents an unprecedented level of local convenience having myriad new recycling programs in a central location under one roof,” said Beach. “I believe the only other depot in our regional district that compares, with all services at one location (beverage, residential and commercial) is Smithers.” The recycling depot works with the Encorp steward, which collects and recycles electronics and beverage containers. When containers are brought to the depot, the customer is refunded the deposit that was paid on the container at the time of purchase. All other materials collected at the new depot are non-deposit. LightRecycle, AlarmRecycle and Call2Recycle are other stewards that the Burns Lake Recycling Depot is working with.

SUBMITTED PHOTOS

The Burns Lake Recycling Depot will accept used electronics, plastic, tin, glass, mixed paper, cardboard, styrofoam, grocery bags, lightbulbs and much more. “We will keep trying to add new collection programs,” said Beach. “Hopefully soon we will collect small appliances and power tools.” Beach said the response from the public about the new facility and its recycling programs has been incredibly positive. “Our philosophy is to make the most convenient and comprehensive recycling centre as possible,” said Beach. We believe these services should be available to everyone in the B.C., not just to those living in the Lower Mainland or the larger cities.”

New name, new pastor

“Lakes Fellowship” is the new name chosen for the church that meets every Sunday at 10:30 a.m. on Babine Road off Hwy. 16. We were formerly known as Burns Lake Pentecostal Church, prior to our name change at the beginning of the calendar year. With the name change came a new look, a new website, and a new pastor -- me. With my wife Naomi and our three young children, I arrived in Burns Lake last September. I was previously the pastor in Tumbler Ridge and before that served in Smithers and the Queen Charlottes. We have bought a house in town, By Matthew Westergard enrolled our older children in school, and plan to make our home here for many years to come. A name change for the church had been discussed for several years before my arrival, so it’s not a new idea. Our members come from all parts of the Lakes District, not just Burns Lake, and Lakes Fellowship seemed a more inclusive description. As well, the word Pentecostal turns away some people who might otherwise give us a try. If you would like to know more about Lakes Fellowship, check out our website lakesfellowship.ca where my sermons and other information will be available. We are a growing church attended by 40 to 50 people each Sunday. The church is noted for its highly developed music ministry that has led worship at Church In The Park and other community functions. Lakes Fellowship offers Sunday school classes for children and younger teens, as well as two weekly prayer services on Tuesday and Saturday evenings at 7 p.m. Another special feature is a hospitality hour following every Sunday service when members and guests are invited to share coffee and a light meal. I would love to meet you there. Our family is community-minded and we look forward to serving the Lakes District in any way we can.

if they are cutting through our backyards for pennies.” While the Truth and Reconciliation Commission has helped make Canadians more aware of the wrongs done to First Nations peoples in the past, she suggested that much work remains to be done. Reconciliation and healing will only happen, she said, if Canadians work together.

“We need to find positive, proactive, meaningful ways to move forward and heal and reconcile our peoples’ past,” she said. “Healing is the foundation to our successes as First Nations.” The Truth and Reconciliation Commission was established in 2007 with a mandate to tell Canadians about the 150-year history of the country’s residential schools. The commission’s three members – Hon. Justice Murray Sinclair, Dr. Marie Wilson, and Chief Wilton Littlechild – heard more than 6,750 survivor and witness statements prior to releasing their findings. When complete, the commission’s final report will consist of six volumes and more than two million words.

Highway of tears film initiative

Determining whether a serial killer (or killers) was responsible Annual General Meeting for the deaths of young women traveling along the highways Tuesday, June 23, 2015 6:00pm at Francois Lake School

Michael Riis-Christianson

All members of the public are welcome to attend and to participate.

One hundred people attended a screening of the documentary Highway of Tears at the Beacon Theatre on June 8. The film, which tells the stories of young women who’ve gone missing along Hwy. 16 over the past several decades, was written and directed by Matt Smiley, a Montrealborn actor and writer. Produced by actress Carly Pope (Elysium, 24, Republic of Doyle), it premiered in March 2014 at the TIFF (Toronto International Film Festival) Human Rights Watch Film Festival before being released to the public earlier this year. Although the documentary has already been shown in several communities along Hwy. 16, one of the organizations that supported it financially – Carrier Sekani Family Services (CSFS) – felt Burns Lake residents should have an opportunity Walk to Fight Arthritis - Team Burns Lake to see it in their home town. June 7th, 2015 @ Rainbow Park in Prince George “We all felt that it was important $ for the communities along Hwy. 16 My team’s goal was $1,000 and we brought in 1740.00 to have the opportunity to see the I would like to thank family and friends who contributed by sponsoring film,” said Wendy Kellas, youth serand/or donating towards Team Burns Lake. ~ Lori West vices manager for CSFS. “It has been shown in many of the larger urban centres, but with six of our Carrier 6TH ANNUAL nations in Burns Lake, this screening was very important. We had a lot of interest from community members, so we were happy to be able to work with John Illes at the Beacon Theatre to bring it to Burns Lake.” Carrier Sekani Family Services is the host agency for the Highway of Tears Initiative, a program that is in part designed to help the families of women who’ve gone missing along Hwy. 16 and prevent others from suffering the same fate. According to Kellas, CSFS worked closely with Smiley and Pope “on the details of the film” and is “very proud of the T H FRIDAY NIG final product.

force ownship of cases 2006. 2007, had expanded i t s investigation to include 18 cases. Kellas said that the Highway of Tears Initiative works closely w i t h North District RCMP and the E-PANA investigation team. While progress has been made over the years – one of E-PANA’s 18 was solved in 2012 – there is still much work to be done. “Over the past few years, this relationship has improved and the RCMP are working more closely with the families of the victims,” she said. “Though improvements have been made, there is still a long way to go. Due to budget cuts, the RCMP made major cuts to the E-PANA team of investigators, which obviously has frustrated family members. In spite of the cutback we are still in regular communication with the lead investigators.” Like Project E-PANA, the Highway of Tears initiative has also faced financial challenges. Despite receiving only “piecemeal pots of funding” since 2006, Kellas says the organization and its supporters have managed to continue their work. Some significant achievements have been made along the way, too. Seven community forums have been held to identify services needed in communities along the Highway of Tears, three billboards have been erected to help make people aware of the dangers of hitchhiking, and community safety training workshops have been offered. The initiative even has its own website, www. highwayoftears.ca. “Carrier Sekani Family Services has always been able to continue the work through the dedication of the staff,” Kellas noted. “Much time is spent doing the work off the side of their desks… CSFS has provided and will continue to provide ongoing advocacy and support for victims’ families. “We hope that communities are educating their children and youth about how to stay safe and how to look out for each other. We really want to focus on prevention of both victims and of perpetrators. There are many safety tips that we can provide, but we also need to look at the reasons that violence is so prevalent and why women continue to go missing. If we can instill a culture of non-violence in all communities, then violence will no longer be tolerated.” Burns Lake, according to Kellas, has a history of supporting the Highway of Tears initiative. Last week’s local screening of Smiley’s documentary generated $616.50 in donations. The money, she said, will be used to support the families of women who’ve gone missing. Although the exact number of women who have gone missing along this lonely stretch of road is a matter of conjecture, many people in the region believe it could exceed 30. RCMP investigators are confident that the disappearances and murders are not the work of a single individual. They encourage anyone with relevant information to call the E-PANA Tip Line at 1-877-543-4822.

doing it [fundraising] so Rhoda can heal faster with her boys and husband nearby, and be home sooner.” By the time the fundraiser was finished, the family received a call saying Williams made it through the surgery and was in stable conditions. Currently, Williams is at the Vancouver General Hospital where she will be monitored for four more weeks. “Rhoda is striving to get well so she can become a mom again and a wife,” said Berg. “She is feeling blessed to have been given a second chance; she wants to do everything she can to help others.” Brown said her family is thankful for all the support they have received from the community. “The result is that Rhoda has her family at her side like she wanted,” she said.” Most importantly, she received a liver and will soon get to go home to be a strong loving wife, mother, daughter, sister, niece, aunt, cousin, neighbour and best friend.” “It was a great day.”

In the story ‘Burns Lake resident runs to help family stay together’ published in the Lakes District News' June 10, 2015, Wendy Brown was planning to run from Francois Lake to Burns Lake to raise funds for her cousin Rhoda Williams, who was in Vancouver waiting for a liver transplant. Last week, Williams was sent to Prince George while she waited for a liver donor. Soon after she arrived in Prince George, she had to return to Vancouver because specialists had found a perfect donor match. While her cousin Brown was completing the run from Francois Lake to Burns Lake on June 7, Williams was at the Vancouver General Hospital receiving a new liver. “It was a very emotional day because as we were doing the fundraising [in Burns Lake], Rhoda was having her liver transplant surgery at the same time,” said Brown. Brown completed the 23-km journey accompanied by 10-year-old Ashley. She said the experience was incredible. “It was heartwarming to see so many families waiting to cheer us on from the bottom of Hoppers Hill into the Spirit Square,” she said. “There was a lot of honking as people drove by us, and Moose FM aired it live after driving by us on the road.” photo credit Laura Stewart After the run, family members and supporters FOUND on Wednesday, 10th June, gathered at Spirit Square for a barbecue. “A lot of people came down to the barbecue,” by two joggers on Boer mountain. said Brown.

Partitions are a simple way of turning one large hard drive into what appears to be several smaller ones, allowing you to keep certain things separate. Think of it like having a house with no interior walls. Without a wall between the kitchen and the bedroom, you might end up with crumbs on the bed and socks in the fridge. The most common reason to partition a hard drive is to keep your operating system files separate from your user files. This makes it easier to format and reinstall Windows on the first partition, without having to worry about losing any personal information stored on the second partition. While partitions aren’t as popular as they once were, you may still see new notebooks and desktops with both C: and D: local disk drives under My Computer (Libraries in Windows 8). The only downside is that no matter what partition you store information on, if the hard drive fails you’ll still lose all your data. Partitions are fine for organizing, but for the safety of your data nothing beats an off computer backup.

Raymond Ashford Long December 10th 1931 - June 17th 2014 In Memory

It broke our hearts to lose you, But you did not go alone. A part of us went with you, The day God took you home. If tears could build a stairway, And heartaches make a lane, Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d walk our way to heaven, And bring you back again. In life we loved you dearly, In death we love you still, In our hearts you hold a place no one could ever fill.

Reservoir Elevation: 853.53m

(2800.31 ft.)

SLS Discharge: 510 m3/s Cheslatta Falls: 489 m3/s Nautley River: 220 m3/s Vanderhoof: 653 m3/s Water ďŹ&#x201A;ow into the reservoir over the last day was slightly lower than outďŹ&#x201A;ow. Spillway discharge will remain at 510m3/s in order to reduce reservoir elevation to the normal maximum operating level of 2800 feet as soon as possible. Flow level in the Nechako River at Cheslatta Falls and Vanderhoof will likely remain near the current level for the next few weeks. Some precipitation is expected over the next several days. The 5 to 7 day forecast is signiďŹ cantly wetter than it was yesterday. There could be up to 40 mm of rain falling in the reservoir area early next week. If the current trend in reduction of reservoir inďŹ&#x201A;ow continues, ďŹ&#x201A;ow in the Nechako River will be reduced in the last week of June. Please note that the ďŹ&#x201A;ow from Nautley River from the Water Survey of Canada gauge (shown above) is not accurate due to back pressure from the high water level in the Nechako River. Visit website www.waterofďŹ ce.ec.gc.ca for up to date real-time ďŹ&#x201A;ow information for the Nechako River. Contact Rio Tinto Alcan at 250-5675105 for more information.

Obituaries

Alex Hawse

July 28, 1930 - April 15, 2015

Alex George Hawse quietly left us on April 15, 2015 with his loving wife Beverley by his side. Born July 28, 1930 in Penticton, BC to Don and Janice Hawse, Alex spent time in Vancouver before his family moved to Tintagel in 1947. Alex and Bev were married July 6, 1957 and built their family home on Hawse Loop at Tintagel. Alex was a devoted husband and father to six. He worked his entire life in the Lakes District; mainly in the logging industry as a heavy equipment operator. A quiet man with a gentle disposition he enjoyed camping, fishing and spending time with his large extended family and friends. Alex will be greatly missed by his wife of 58 years, Beverley Ann, his six children: Tammie (Ken) Lukens, Murray (Shirley) Hawse, Alexisann (Gordon) Maxwell, Ross Hawse, Duane (Jennifer) Hawse, Alanise (Tim) Featherstone and 16 grandchildren. Alex leaves behind his brother Heath and two sisters; Sharie Luckenstein and Jet (Danny) Blake. The family would like to thank the many friends and family who have supported Alex and Bev through the challenges of the last few years; especially the extended Minger family. A Celebration of Life is planned for June 28, 2015at 3:00pm at the Island Gospel Church. Flowers are gratefully declined. In lieu of flowers donations to the Alzheimer Society of BC www.alzheimerbc.org would be graciously appreciated. Alex you may have gone from our sight but you are never gone from our hearts.

Public Comment Period Metal Mountain Resources Inc. (MMR), and its subsidiary Gavin Mines Inc. (GMI), own the Dome Mountain Project, a past producing gold and silver underground mine, located 38 km east of Smithers, British Columbia (BC). Stage 1 development of the Dome Mountain Project occurred between 2009 and 2013. Stage 1 included re activation of a former underground mine, short-term ore stockpiling onsite, and direct shipment of ore to an off-site mill. In August 2010, Mines Act Permit M-237 was issued approving the Dome Mountain Mine Plan and Reclamation Program and Environmental Management Act Effluent Discharge Permit PE-104869 was issued for effluent discharge. Mine operations ceased in October 2012 and were put into ‘care and maintenance’ to focus on permitting and design work of a mill and tailings storage facility (TSF) as key components of Stage 2 development which is subject to a coordinated review by the Major Mine Permitting Office (MMPO) of the Ministry of Energy and Mines. The Stage 2 design development began in 2013 and included the planning for construction of an onsite mill and thickened tailings TSF. Stage 2 will include resumption of underground mining of the Boulder and Boulder Footwall veins. The updated mine plan is for 33 months of underground mining from Q3 2016 until Q3 2019. The TSF construction will require movement of up to 300,000 m3 of soil and borrow material. Stage 2 will also include continued operation of the 1290 Sediment Control Pond adjacent to the water treatment plant, with upgrades to handle water from the mine, mill, and TSF. The Major Mine Permitting Office of the Ministry of Energy and Mines is currently inviting public comments for the following authorizations, related to the ongoing review of the Project: File No.

The primary reasons for using a corporate structure are: i. Limited legal liability ii. Protect the taxpayers from financial risk iii. Engage external expertise iv. Independent management

Board Composition Each First Nations partner listed above will appoint one representative to the Chinook Board of Directors, the Village of Burns Lake will appoint one representative and the RDBN will appoint two representatives (one on behalf of Area B and one on behalf of Area E). To keep the management of Chinook operations as independent as possible, the local government appointees will be community members that are not elected officials or local government staff.

4. RDBN Costs and Capital Contributions Each partner is funding its own legal fees needed for structuring the Chinook Community Forest. a) RDBN Start-up Costs The RDBN costs are funded through the new Chinook Community Forest Economic Development Service, with any taxation shared by Area B and Area E based on property assessments. Although the maximum taxation under the bylaw is the greater of $85,795 or $0.25 per $1,000, with taxation on improvements only, it is hoped that a significant portion of the start-up costs will be covered by grant revenues. The 2015 budget includes $50,000 in start-up costs funded by $50,000 in grant revenues. b) Common Start-up Costs In addition to the structuring costs paid for by each participant, there will be certain start-up costs within Chinook (e.g.: costs for preparing a Forest Management Plan and the application for a forest license). Hampton Forest Products has agreed to fund these costs to help get Chinook started.

Financial Projections Preliminary financial projections indicate that Chinook would earn a profit in each year after start-up, amounting to an annual average of over $1 million per year for the first five years of operation. The Local Government share would be 15%, or $150,000 per year. 7. Profit Distribution After recovery of any start-up costs funded through taxation, the Local Government 15% share of distributed profits would be contributed to a local trust. The income earned on the trust assets could be distributed to community projects, with approval decisions made by an independent committee. 8.

A local landmarks that has been around for at least 40 years according to local residents, recently was vandalized. The big rock with a face painted on it, known as “ painted rock” is located at the start of the old Tathsa Road at km 48 on the Morice Owen Road. Some person, possibly Big Andy, spray painted his name on it. Local residents are very upset saying this rock has never been vandalized in all these years and it is historical to them and wonder why people do such things.
