Forest products industry trying to rebrand
It is estimated that 60,000 new workers will be needed by 2020 FLAVIO NIENOW
The Forest Products Association of Canada (FPAC) estimates that the forest products industry will be hiring 60,000 new workers across Canada in the next five years. “One of the reasons we need workers is because many of the baby boomers in the current workforce are retiring,” explained Susan Murray, Vice-President of Public Relations for FPAC. “But there are other important reasons as well – unlike the energy, mining and many other industries, the forest products industry is growing in size.” According to the federal government, in 2014, the value of Canada’s forest product exports increased by 9.8 per cent over 2013, rising to $30.8 billion from $28.4 billion. Furthermore the industry has been shaping up to a dynamic new face. The industry’s traditional products - pulp, paper and lumber - are being used to create new products such as renewable bio-fuels, green bio-plastics, bio-pharmaceuticals, bulletproof vests, car parts and airplane wings. Since the industry has become more innovative, diverse and technically advanced, there is a growing need for new types of skilled workers. The long list of workers that the industry requires include biologists, ...see FORESTRY ▼ P7
Grizzly bear It isn’t too often when you walk out into your yard and there is a grizzly bear there to greet you. This happened to Tony and Gina Strimbold last week. They called a conservation officer immediately and the officer came out and tranquilized the grizzly. The Strimbolds were told the bear would be relocated out in the Ootsa Lake area. SUBMITTED PHOTOS
Province could ask for to help stop protestors To date, Wet’suwet’en has not received any request, says Chief
FLAVIO NIENOW Under the pipeline benefits agreement between the province and Wet’suwet’en First Nation (WFN) regarding TransCanada’s Coastal GasLink Pipeline project, the province could ask WFN to help stop Unist’ot’en camp protestors. The Unist’ot’en clan of the Wet’suwet’en
has set up a protective camp south of Houston and has been physically impeding pipeline proponents from entering their territory. Under the pipeline benefits agreement, WFN has agreed not to support or participate in any acts that “frustrate, delay, stop or otherwise physically impede” the right of the province or Coastal GasLink to carry out any activities associated with the development and operations of the proposed pipeline project. More specifically, the agreement states that “WFN will assist the province in seeking to resolve any action that may be taken by any member that is inconsistent with the agreement.” Otherwise, WFN could be in breach of their contract and potentially lose their fund-
ing. Wet’suwet’en First Nation Chief Karen Ogen said there is no obligation under the pipeline benefits agreement for WFN to stop Unist’ot’en camp protestors or shut down their camp. However, she says the province could ask WFN for “assistance to help resolve actions by WFN members that are contrary to the intent of the agreement.” “To date, WFN has not received any request from the province to assist [in stopping protestors],” said Ogen. “If requested by the province, WFN would be prepared to set up a dialogue with WFN members who are participating in the protest to help hear and resolve ...see PROTEST ▼ P3

September 20, at Francois Lake Hall, the Terry Fox silent auction will feature this very special quilt. Here, Hilda Pooley's grandaughters are proud to show the beautiful quilt which was designed and sewn by Hilda and her quilting partner Doris Wall. These quilting friends have humbly donated their gorgeous quilts for so many years they can't recall with certainty just when they began, but we know that in 2002 they made a lovely quilt in shades of gold and there have been unique quilts every year since that time. So this year, it is at least 14 years of quilting creations sewn to support cancer research by these two dedicated Terry Fox supporters. Submitted photo

A look at the long-range weather Fall and winter will have above normal temperatures
Flavio Nienow The Lakes District has had a bleak end of summer with cool, unsettled and cloudy conditions with a few showers over the last couple of weeks. According to Environment Canada, August 2015 was on average 2.1 C below normal for Burns Lake. But summer isn’t over yet, and that pattern is likely to return to “warmer and drier than normal” in about a week, according to Brett Anderson, Senior Meteorologist for AccuWeather.com. In fact, Northern B.C. can expect temperatures to average above normal this fall. According to The Weather Network’s long-range forecast, the above-season temperatures will dominate the fall pattern across B.C., Alberta and Saskatchewan. However, the fall will not bring significant relief from the dry conditions seen across central and Southern B.C. While there will be periods of rainy weather, below-average rainfall totals
are expected for those areas. In the Lakes District, near-normal precipitation is expected for the combined months of September, October and November. The Weather Network predicts that winter will be a tale of two seasons and two regions - one weather pattern will dominate the west while the rest of Canada will see winter weather split into two distinct phases. Although colder temperatures will be experienced at times across B.C., above-seasonal temperatures will continue to be the dominant weather pattern. Most of central and Eastern Canada will see a period of wintry weather before December. But that will be a false start to winter as a mild weather pattern will dominate almost the whole country in December. According to The Weather Network, the El Niño will continue to affect the weather as it builds toward being one of the strongest on record. British Columbia, on the other hand, will experience belowaverage precipitation this winter. Periods of active weather will typically be associated with very mild temperatures and bring predominately rain rather than snow to many ski areas.

The world can do better
Urban society slides into helplessness
What this refugee crisis in Europe has brought to light is the unwillingness and unpreparedness of many European countries - and other developed nations - to deal with this issue. What some are calling the greatest refugee crisis since World War Two has been tainted by indifference and dangerous attitudes toward refugees. Hungary has been in the spotlight after razorwire fences were built to prevent refugees from crossing the borders illegally. Furthermore, Hungarian authorities have been preventing refugees from boarding trains heading west. The country has been facing increasing pressure to change its approach to the refugee crisis. Government spokesman Zoltan Kovacs told CNN’s “The World Right Now” the lack of documentation was a key issue for authorities. “That’s one major problem we have to face: that these people, at least to the Hungarian border, came without papers, or got rid of papers, and at the end of the day it’s basically impossible to determine whether they are telling the truth that they are coming from Syria or other war zones,” he told CNN. And of course, this would all be perfectly acceptable had these refugees not been starving, desperate and some even dying. Referring to people who escaped war zones as “illegal migrants” is amoral at best. These people have not voluntarily moved in the search of wealthier lives; they have fled because they were scared for their lives. That’s why many people have also criticized the media for using the word “migrants” as opposed to “refugees.” Some say the word “migrant” implies something voluntary and should not be applied to people fleeing danger. Syria, which makes up the largest group of refugees, has been dealing with a civil war since the uprising against president Bashar al-Assad in March 2011. It is estimated that more than 240,000 people have been killed so far, and around half of Syria’s population have fled their homes. What these people have been going through are real horror stories. Just imagine the level of desperation of a father who decided to take his children on a boat for days without food or water, risking their lives and not knowing exactly where they would end up, or if they would be safe once they reached their destination. All the wealth and stability that developed countries have achieved over the years mean absolutely nothing if they allow hungry and terrified families to perish. This is a global crisis and we should all be paying attention to it. Furthermore, we need to challenge our leaders to do more. Here in Canada, both the NDP and Liberals have said the federal government needs to do more to address this situation. “Hundreds of thousands of people fleeing horrors: We’ve got to step up to the plate, we’ve got to be part of an international solution, we’ve got to start doing our fair share,” NDP leader Tom Mulcair told CBC. Justin Trudeau told CBC that Canada would, under a Liberal government, take in 25,000 Syrian refugees. After the Icelandic government announced they would only accept 50 refugees this year, more than 11,000 Icelanders offered to take Syrian refugees into their homes. After this (amazing) gesture of kindness, the Icelandic government said they were looking into increasing the country’s refugee quota. The main issue seems to be that many people fear refugees could steal their jobs or threaten their culture. However, the total number of refugees in Europe is 3.1 million, not even one per cent of its population, according to MacLean’s Magazine. The world has enough resources and manpower to solve this crisis; and the world can certainly do better.
Of all the immature, ignorant whining that came out of the recent power failure in the Lower Mainland, one example summed up the decline of our urban culture for me. It wasn’t the people who flooded 9-1-1 with calls demanding to know when their power would be restored, or complaining about their freezers. It wasn’t those on Twitter insisting BC Hydro pay for food that went bad. It was another social media moment. With part of his community without electricity for a third day, Coquitlam Mayor Richard Stewart went to his Facebook page, which has a wide following. There he pleaded with residents to stop phoning city hall to demand that a local big-box supermarket provide milk and eggs. Power had been restored at the store only a few hours before, in the dead of night, and it’s safe to assume that all stores were working flat out to restock perishables. Where do people get the notion that city hall, or whatever all-powerful nanny state they imagine, controls grocery stores? How do they conclude that in the midst of the worst electrical grid failure on record, BC Hydro is going to address their personal situation above all others? Vancouver broadcast media weren’t much better. Their big focus was that BC Hydro’s website crashed, so people couldn’t call it up on their smartphones and find out instantly when their power would be back on. Some even questioned why wireless power meters didn’t help. Perhaps these were the same journalists who fed the tinfoil-hat superstition about their signals. The facts should be known by now. After an extremely dry spring and summer, a high wind shattered trees and took down more wires and poles than BC Hydro had ever coped with before. Further damage was done within areas that were already blacked out, leaving overtaxed technicians unable to accurately assess the full extent of it. In Coquitlam and elsewhere, poles were down in areas too rain-saturated for heavy repair trucks to reach. Yes, there were some too-optimistic repair estimates given out, in response to the constant screeching for instant answers. About 15 years ago I experienced my worst power outage in the Fraser Valley. In a semirural area with little backup grid capacity (since greatly improved), my family went three days without power. This was in winter, due to wind and freezing rain followed by snow and cold. Trickles of water kept pipes from freezing, and the gas stove provided a bit of heat. I heard no complaints about the crews struggling around the clock with the dangerous job of repair. Media coverage was mostly adult supervised. Megastorm madness isn’t an isolated case. A couple of weeks before that, a temporary construction bump on the Lion’s Gate Bridge deck caused panic and rage. Aggravated by a couple of accidents on the alternate route, and fed by hysterical media, drivers of West Van luxury cars were white-knuckled. Traffic choked the region that recently declined to pay a bit more for road improvements. In both cases, people outside Lotus Land were muttering: Welcome to our world. This is pertinent to the federal election. Are you competent to save for your retirement with RRSPs and a tax-free savings account, or do you need the government to do it for you, by force? Are you capable of managing your own child care, or should the nanny state create a hugely subsidized system, which has already failed in Quebec, from coast to coast? Are you ready for the day when the machine stops?

KYLE DANIEL’S 4TH ANNUAL MEMORIAL POW WOW
Editor: When I was first elected to Haisla Nation Council, I was generally opposed to industry. It didn’t take long before I was confronted with the harsh reality of what our communities have been facing — poverty, suicides, and the hopelessness. Government handouts from Ottawa were not helping our people. There had to be a better way, and we had to help ourselves. We had to find a way to dig ourselves out of grinding poverty. A gas company came knocking at our door in 2004 with an opportunity that we saw as something new that just might make a difference to the families in my community. We could get our people off welfare and into good-paying jobs. It was a risk, and I was as big a skeptic as there was but I also knew it was something we had a duty to consider. We have studied the LNG industry and its proposals for the last ten years. We have seen that natural gas is the cleanest of all fossil fuels, and that it can improve the global environment by offsetting dirtier fuels in Asia — after breathing the air in Beijing, Seoul and Tokyo I can appreciate the desire of those countries for cleaner energy. This last decade of careful research has convinced our community of the stringent environmental safeguards that are in place, as well as the safety and environmental records of natural gas pipelines and LNG transportation. For us to be truly successful, we need to see our people among the first in line for the permanent skilled jobs — pipefitters, electricians, millwrights — that will come if LNG projects move ahead. In Kitimat’s boom and bust economy, that will be the only way for us to make good on the promises we’ve been making to our youth – that if they get an education, they will get good jobs and build fulfilling careers. Doing this is not easy. It means negotiating with governments and major multinational corporations on everything from environmental protection to economic benefits. On this, First Nations across B.C. have taken different approaches. One that I have been watching recently is the Squamish Nation, which conducted its own environmental assessment
Get involved. Sept. 14-19, 2015
on a proposal by Woodfibre LNG to build a modest sized export terminal near Squamish. Squamish has yet to make a final decision on that project, but it has already issued 25 tough conditions that would hold the project to account in key areas of environmental and cultural protection. If Woodfibre LNG does goes ahead, these conditions will make for a better project, and I think embody the kind of creative thinking we all need if we are to strike that key balance between economic benefits and stringent environmental protections. Other nations are also finding that balance, like those involved in the Pacific Trail Pipeline (PTP) from Summit Lake to Kitimat, where an unprecedented 16 First Nations – all of the nations along the proposed route – have joined a First Nations Limited Partnership to support the project. Other Nations have concerns about the impacts of fracking or pipelines or LNG carriers. I understand these concerns and I believe every First Nation must satisfy themselves about environmental and safety considerations before they turn to the economic benefits that can come their way. We have done this work, and are keen to share it with those Nations which do not have the benefit of our ten years of experience. As I discovered more than a decade ago, we have a duty to take these opportunities seriously. We must look at them carefully to understand if the benefits can outweigh the risks. Because services like healthcare, highways, water and sewer – ones enjoyed by First Nations and non-First Nations alike – come with a price tag. Without reliable revenues, cutbacks are inevitable. I began this journey as an opponent, but today I am firm in my conviction that we must work together to ensure these projects proceed while also protecting the environment. Too much is at stake.

Re-use sheds closed until further notice
Companies are already facing challenges Closure is due to “serious to find health and safety the skilled concerns,” says RDBN workers F N board of directors of the Regional District they need of The Bulkley-Nechako (RDBN) has passed a motion lavio

millwrights, electricians, engineers, sales staff, truck drivers, foresters, chemists, economist and risk analysts and IT specialists. According to Murray, companies are already facing challenges to find the skilled workers they need. That is why the FPAC is now working to rebrand the industry in order to attract younger people and a wider range of professionals. “Many people thought that the forest products industry was a sunset industry; we need to convince young people that instead the industry is modern and future oriented,” said Murray. The FPAC has launched a campaign called “The Greenest Workforce” in an effort to connect young professionals to employers, as well as to rebrand the forest products industry as a “green industry.” “Unlike the oil and gas industry, we are part of the solution to climate change as the world moves to a low carbon economy,” said Murray. “The forest products industry is an industry that understands the value of a renewable natural resource and it is always striving to find smart new ways to do more with wood fibre.” In the story ‘Millennials, these career sectors are worth considering’ published in The Globe and Mail on Aug. 24, 2015, the forest products industry was selected as one of the most promising industries for young Canadian professionals. “We feel that the forest industry is becoming more attractive,” said Murray.

to immediately close all re-use sheds until “a safe solution is found.” Due to a number of troubling incidents directly affecting staff and public health and safety, re-use sheds located at all regional district solid waste management facilities will be closed immediately. The latest incidents at the re-use sheds that caused the greatest concern for the board of directors include: • Over 100 used hypodermic needles were found in boxes mixed in with children’s toys; • Live ammunition was found in a brown cassette tape brief case; • Prescription drugs were left in a box; • Reports have been made regarding members of the public urinating and defecating behind a re-use shed; • A dirty diaper was found thrown in the corner of a re-use shed. “Unfortunately, the manner in which the re-use sheds are currently being operated is not working and is posing serious health and safety risks for RDBN staff,” says RDBN. According to the RDBN, investigations are being conducted regarding alternative re-use programs

and economically viable solutions to address the health and safety concerns associated with operation of the re-use sheds. Further, the board of directors has directed staff to develop bylaws that would ban salvaging activities at solid waste facilities. The RDBN says that although signage and barriers have been utilized to try to stop people from accessing the stacked wood and metal piles, some members of the public continue to place themselves and others at risk by climbing the piles to salvage materials. According to the RDBN, the incidents occurring at the re-use sheds and ongoing salvaging activities have serious legal liability implications to the RDBN taxpayer. The RDBN plans to hold public meetings in the next few months to provide additional information about the closure.

Mikaela Pond and Jennifer Miller, both registered nurses working in Northern B.C., decided to raise awareness of those difficulties and raise money for the national charity Hope Air many positive and heartwarming stories about Hope Air; I can’t think of a better charity for this ride.” One flight costs Hope Air on average $250, so the two nurses were asking people to consider adopting a flight and help them reach their goal of $6000. As of Sept. 2, the nurses had already raised over $4000. The money raised will go directly to Hope Air and will provide 25 flights for Northern B.C. residents. Pond said that although she had already participated in competitive sporting events, this bike ride presented particular challenges. “We knew it would hard,” said Pond. “This was a different level of pain and exhaustion; somewhere around 100 km goes any ability to make decisions.” “First things go numb - hands, feet, butt; then the pain sets - in neck, knees, thighs; then comes the intense discomfort that is nothing more than pure exhaustion.” “It's all well worth raising money for flights for people in need,” said Pond. To donate or check how much money the nurses have raised, go to fundrazr.com and search for Hope Air, or go directly to fundrazr.com/campaigns/1105M4

In the story ‘Successful day for Rhoda Williams’ published in the Lakes District News' June 17 issue, mother of four Rhoda Williams had received a new liver while her family was doing a fundraiser in Burns Lake. Williams spent over two months recovering at the Vancouver General Hospital after receiving her new liver on June 7, 2015. The mother from Lake Babine Nation has finally been able to return to her home in Prince George. But the wave of nice surprises didn’t end there. While Williams and her husband Darren McKay were in Vancouver, they missed the birth of their first granddaughter. As soon as they returned home, they were able to meet two-month-old Angelina for the first time. “Tears of joy for grandma,” said McKay, describing their first encounter. McKay said the last few months can only be described as a “roller coaster of emotions.” “I’m glad she’s home,” he said proudly. “I got my wife back, and that’s what I love.” Last May, Williams heard from her

doctors that she had less than two weeks to live. She had been diagnosed with primary biliary cirrhosis, a kind of cirrhosis caused by damage to the bile ducts in the liver. “I couldn’t explain the feeling; I was so weak, tired and ill,” said Williams. Her four children had faced seeing their mother in and out of hospitals since March 2015. Her husband said that, prior to surgery, Williams wasn’t worried about how tired or scared she was; instead she was worried about her children and him. “We all got a second a chance with her, and she’s got a second chance with her kids,” said McKay. “It wasn’t her time to go.” Soon after her surgery, Williams noticed her skin tone improving almost immediately. “My colour started changing half an hour after the surgery,” she said. “I thought ‘now I’m not yellow anymore.’” Williams said now she has much more energy for everything. In fact, she even tried cleaning up the house as soon as she returned home. The proud mother said she now wants to spend more time with her kids and granddaughter, and that she also has plans of going back to college to study computer graphic design. After going through this lifechanging experience, she said there is one thing she knows for sure. “I learned how not to take anything for granted, and to be happy more,” she said with her voice noticeably giving away a new sense of aliveness and relief. Williams said she is thankful for everything that the community has done to support her and her family while she was in the hospital. “Everybody was so thoughtful; people would call me in Vancouver and say that they were praying for us.” Williams still has to attend monthly doctor appointments in Vancouver for the next few months. Since the family spent all their funds battling the disease and paying for their stay in Vancouver, the family is currently fundraising. Williams’s next appointment is scheduled for Sept. 24, 2015, in Vancouver.

Either way, you’d like to go back to your previous version of Windows and give 10 a bit more time to “mature”. But that’s a long, drawn out process involving backups, clean installations and whatnot, right? Actually if you’re within 30 days of your Windows 10 upgrade, there’s an easy revert feature. To get to it, click on the Start Menu, then Settings. Open up ‘Update & Security’ and click on “Recovery”. Under here you will see an option to “Go back to Windows 7 (or 8)”, depending on what you had before. After 30 days Windows 10 will usually delete your old Windows install to save space (It’s pretty big). You should still be able to go back at that point, but it’ll involve that clean installation I mentioned earlier.

born December 18, 1924 in Smithers. The first child to ber 2015. Lakes District pioneers Billy and education Mary Bickle. She was ing adult at college raised on the Bickle ranch at et. Grassy Plains, and other than a year working for the post office offered. in Vancouver, lived in tive salary Burns Lake until she took on the job of post mistress at the elley Wall Trades Coordinator Alcan Kemano Camp at Tahtmail shelleyw@pgnaeta.bc.ca sa Lake. There she met Charlie Stuckel who was the meat cutter for the big camp kitchen. They married in 1953. They set up home in Vernon and lived from then on in the Okanagan (with a short interlude at Grassy Plains for two years when her parents became elderly). They returned every year to Grassy Plains to visit their many friends in the area and Charlie could get in some quality hunting and fishing. Small in stature, but as a young woman she was quite athletic and enjoyed horseback riding, cross country skiing and ski jumping (she was Omineca Ski Queen in 1947). In Penticton she was a member of the Eastern Star and various other community groups. Margaret also enjoyed gardening and took great pride in the fruit she could grow. After Charlie passed away in 1998 she found the big yard and garden in Summerland a bit much and eventually sold and moved back to Penticton into a condo in her “Cherry Lane tower�. She loved to travel and after taking a round-the-world trip in 1963 she made several trips to Britain, New Zealand, and Mexico. For the last 3 years Margaret lived at the Hamlets in Penticton and although she had failing health she always remained cheerful. She passed away August 18 at Penticton Hospital. Margaret was predeceased by her husband Charlie, her brother Jack and sister in-law Thelma. She is survived by her brother Ian in New Zealand, nephew Bruce and niece Lynda in Canada, nieces Sharon and Allison in New Zealand and niece Brenda in Australia. Cremation, no service and by her request any memorial donations be made to the BC SPCA.
