Oil and gas releases first pipeline performance report Report says there were 122 spills and releases in 2014 FLAVIO NIENOW
The Canadian Energy Pipeline Association (CEPA), a group that represents transmission pipeline companies in Canada, has released its first pipeline industry performance report. According to the report, there were 122 oil and natural gas spills and releases in 2014. Four of these spills were categorized as ‘significant’ - two liquid spills and two natural gas spills. According to CEPA, metal loss or deterioration – including things such as cracking, corrosion and material defects - caused 79 per cent of pipeline incidents between 2010 and 2014. “We know that we need to build public confidence and trust in our industry and we think this report will play a big part in that,” said CEPA President and CEO Brenda Kenny. The report comes after one of biggest oil spills in Alberta history. In July 2015, Chinese-owned Nexen Energy ULC discovered a pipeline rupture at its Long Lake oil-sands project, about 36 km south of Fort McMurray. The spill released five million litres of bitumen emulsion - a mixture of bitumen, water and sand – onto the pipeline’s right of way, covering an area of about 16,000 square metres. In a press release, CEPA states the new report is important because despite “a 99.999 per cent safe delivery ...see OIL & GAS ▼ P3

Chamber launches program to entice local shoppers The new gift certificate program can be redeemed at 25 local businesses
FLAVIO NIENOW The Burns Lake and District Chamber of Commerce has launched a new program designed to keep shopping dollars in the Lakes District. The local gift certificate program allows companies, organizations and individual consumers to purchase gift certificates from the chamber of commerce and redeem them at 25 participating local retailers and service businesses.
Quality Education – Within Reach!
The program was officially launched on Nov. 6, 2015, and now the chamber expects the number of participating businesses to grow. Given the success of the program in neighbouring communities such as Houston and Vanderhoof, the chamber expects the gift certificate to become a standard program in the Lakes District. The chamber has committed to running the program until the end of 2016 at a minimum. “It’s not the only tool in the ‘shop local toolkit,’ but it’s a mighty one and we encourage maximum participation,” said Susan Schienbein, Burns Lake and District Chamber of Commerce and Visitor Centre Manager. Unlike the purchase of some gift cards that can be used at multiple locations, the local gift certificate will have no fee for the purchaser. The chamber suggests the certificates can be used as seasonal bonuses, safety awards, employee recognition, or for birthday or anniversary ...see CHAMBER ▼ P5

MAYOR LUKE STRIMBOLD
Stand up for our local college
Taking care of our veterans It doesn’t really matter if you support the Conservatives, Liberals, NDP or any other party. You don’t even need to like the Liberals to notice that this new federal government is bringing a brand new feeling to the table: hope. This undeniable new feeling affects Canadians (and non-Canadians) on many different levels. And I can tell you for a fact that the world is paying close attention to all the changes this new government promises to bring. One of these changes is in regards to our dear veterans and their families, and the support they receive. Although I’ve interviewed veterans and have had glimpses of their courage and resilience, I can’t truly comprehend the challenges they have gone through. I guess no one can. All we can do is hope that their sacrifice is being rewarded and that the country they bravely fought for is providing the best possible care when they return home. Unfortunately it seems that our veterans did not receive all the care and support they deserved under our previous government. According to a Canadian Press story published by the Huffington Post, the Conservative government spent nearly $700,000 fighting a disgruntled group of wounded Afghan veterans in court. During his campaign, Justin Trudeau promised that no veteran would be forced to fight their own government for the support and compensations that they have earned. In addition, Trudeau promised to reinstate lifelong pensions and increase their value in line with the obligation the country has made to those injured in the line of duty, promising to invest $25 million in - and expand access to - the permanent impairment allowance. Supporting our veterans is not only vital because of the unimaginable sacrifice they have made for our country, but also because sometimes their battle continues when they return home. A recent Globe and Mail investigation revealed a disturbing number. In addition to the 158 Canadian soldiers that died in the Afghanistan mission, at least 54 soldiers and vets killed themselves after they returned from war. Post-traumatic stress disorder affects not only our veterans but also the lives of families that provide care to these brave Canadians. Trudeau has promised to invest $100 million more per year in family support services. That includes education, counselling and training for families providing care for veterans living with physical and mental health issues. He also pledged to cover the cost of four years of post-secondary education for every veteran who wants one. Furthermore, Trudeau promised to reopen those nine veteran affairs offices that the Conservative government had closed, including the one in Prince George. We don’t have to travel far to hear incredible stories of veterans’ bravery. We have a perfectly good example right here in our town. Earlier this year Burns Lake resident Alan Blackwell received the highest expression of national appreciation given by the Congress of the United States: the congressional gold medal. The 92-year-old war veteran was honoured for his time serving in the First Special Service Force, commonly known as the Devil’s Brigade. This notorious elite special operations unit is known for its 100 per cent success rate, as well as its “impossible missions” to defeat the German Nazis during World War Two. “We had lots of casualties,” Blackwell told Lakes District News. “I was very fortunate that I was one of the few who didn’t get badly wounded.” Veterans deserve our highest respect and a government that honours the sacrifices they’ve made. This new government is certainly bringing a new feeling of hope, and I don’t know about you, but I’m excited to see how those changes will impact our lives.

CMCA AUDITED
Over the last few years we have been concerned about the unreasonable cutbacks to the CNC Lakes District Campus, which is a pillar to our community. Again and again we have tried, with minimal results, to work with the CNC senior executive in Prince George to ensure that our community’s needs are met, and that the services our campus provides to our community are retained. Over the last number of years I have had a chance to work with those who are passionate about what the Lakes District Campus stands for. I have learned so much more about this exceptional institution and what it provides to our community. As is often the case, you don’t realise how important something is until it has been threatened. Like many of you I knew our campus provided a variety of valuable services to our region over the past decades. I also know that the post secondary education, trades training, and family social services were relied upon by hundreds of people throughout our area from all social and economic backgrounds. I also knew that the local campus employed nearly a hundred exceptional professionals who are and have been the hallmark of excellence in service and dedication to our community’s needs. What I didn’t know of until recently was the host of innovative ways the staff at our campus forged incredible new methods of providing education and family social services in tandem so that every citizen has the same opportunity for success. I didn’t know that many of these services are contracted to the college by other agencies; therefore, they generate revenue for the college rather than cost the college money. I didn’t know that the FASD treatment and prevention programs at our campus have received international recognition, and have been used by the provincial ministries as a model of effective service. I didn’t know that the Lakes District college leadership showcased an incredible responsiveness to local needs, and that this sensitivity to the community has helped secure some of the best outcomes for aboriginal and non aboriginal students and families anywhere in the province. I continue to learn more about the success of our college and the meaningful impacts it has on families every day. However, the CNC Prince George Executive group who have imposed the elimination of self-sustaining programs, made cutbacks, and have been attempting to centralize services over the past three years have also failed to realize just how valuable our campus is to us, and just how hard we will fight to keep it. Like me, they will learn in a hurry. In Burns Lake we come together in times of need and we also come together to rally for what we believe is right. So at this time we need to STAND UP. We need to stand up and hold decision makers accountable, we need to stand up and advocate for our post secondary institution, and we need to stand up for those who don’t have a voice.

Help support local shopping by purchasing gift certificates from the Burns Lake and District Chamber of Commerce. Gift certificates can be purchased in denominations of $10, $25, $50 and $100. The chamber will also entertain special orders of different amounts. CHAMBER from t P1 celebrations. They can also be used as donation for community events and fundraisers. Gift certificates can be purchased from the Burns Lake and District Chamber of Commerce in denominations of $10, $25, $50 and $100. The chamber will also entertain special orders of different amounts. Participating businesses pay an annual administration fee - that covers the cost of printing and administration - to the chamber of commerce. Businesses that redeem the coupons can bring them into the chamber twice a month and the chamber writes the business a cheque for the total redemption. The chamber charges less than one per cent as a handling fee. “Very minimal when you consider what
the fees for Visa, MasterCard or debit purchases cost a business, or the service fees on some gift cards,” says the chamber. In addition, if a business would like to order a number of certificates in bulk, the chamber will, at no charge, incorporate the business logo on the certificate. The chamber decided to launch the local gift certificate program after a survey conducted earlier this year with its members. The survey showed that chamber members considered “enticing local shoppers” a number one priority. “We really need to change the pattern of driving to another community to purchase our goods; rather, let’s see what we can buy in this community,” said Schienbein. “Some will say that we don’t have enough retail stores and they are right, we could use
some more,” she added. “But investors who might be thinking about setting up shops in Burns Lake will talk to the local business community; if our current businesses are concerned about residents not shopping locally, that has a negative spinoff for potential investors.” “Every Lakes District local gift certificate that is purchased boosts our local economy.” To check the list of participating businesses, visit the chamber’s website at burnslakechamber.com

Our good politicians Editor: I have had reason to attend the last two village council meetings and have been struck with the patient and conscientious attention that our major, Councillors and village staff members give to each item on the agenda. Do you know, that before each council meeting they have an enormous amount of material to read, in order to be ready to vote or discuss each matter? They also report on having attended a wide variety of community meetings or activities since the last meeting. They do all this with very little remuneration. I say hats off to our local politicians. We truly are fortunate to be in such good hands. Respectfully, Paula Laurie

Burns Lake students attend WE Day in Vancouver
The goal of WE Day is to motivate youth to make a difference in their communities and around the world.
This year 19 Student Voice representatives from Burns Lake and two teachers travelled to WE Day in Vancouver. The message this year: One person can change the world. Be the Change! Premier Christy Clark attended WE Day and announced that government is donating $200,000 to Free The Children to support WE Day and WE Schools educational programs. Students cannot buy a ticket to WE Day. Instead, they earn admission by taking one local and one global action during the school year, like collecting food for homeless shelters and raising money to build classrooms overseas. Led by co-founders Craig and Marc Kielburger, WE Day is an initiative of Free The Children. The goal of WE Day Vancouver is to motivate youth to make a difference in their communities and around the world. “We are so appreciative to the Ministry of Education for their continued support of the WE Schools program,” said Craig Kielburger. “Through WE Day and WE Schools, students from across the province of British Columbia have created remarkable change in their communities. With this generous support, more students will have the opportunity to join their peers in becoming global change-makers.”

In the story ‘Flu shot not effective against H3N2 strain’ published in the Lakes District News’ Jan. 21, 2015 issue, last year's flu vaccine had not been effective against the A(H3N2) strain. According to Northern Health’s medical health officer Dr. Sandra Allison, one of the biggest challenges in making an effective vaccine is timing. “Every year the influenza viruses change, and between the time when we select what components go into our vaccine until the time we start our vaccine campaign, there are some changes that continue to happen with the virus,” she explained. Last year the A(H3N2) strain had mutated, becoming a "distant cousin" to the strain that was already in the flu vaccine and therefore making the vaccine less effective, she explained. However, Northern Health says this year’s vaccine is expected to be more effective than last year, offering about 30 to 50 per cent effectiveness. While some people may worry that 30 to 50 per cent is not a significant probability, Allison said there are no interventions in health that are 100 per cent effective. “It’s much better to be vaccinated and get some protection than to not receive the vaccine and not be protected at all,” she said. “When I go to a grocery store, I am more than happy to take a 50 per cent discount, and I would definitely like to see a 50 per cent reduced chance of having a severe illness related to influenza,” she added. According to Northern Health, influenza is not always a harmless illness. For some, such as the elderly, children under six years of age, and people with weakened immune systems, the flu can cause severe illness and even death.

“Ministry can do more for Aboriginals,” Auditor General says
Education minister agrees with all recommendations in auditor’s report
Flavio Nienow British Columbia’s auditor general issued an audit last week providing 11 recommendations to close the gap in academic and social outcomes between Aboriginals and nonAboriginals.
Results for Aboriginal students have historically been poor when compared to non-Aboriginal students. In 2000, the provincial graduation rate for Aboriginal students was only 39 per cent, compared to 78 per cent for non-Aboriginal students. By 2014, this improved significantly to 62 per cent, yet there were still school districts where the Aboriginal student graduation rate was less than 50 per cent. The auditor general says the ministry of education can do more to increase the number of Aboriginal students who graduate. "Graduating from secondary school means greater opportunities in life for employment, health and well-being," said Carol Bellringer, Auditor General of British Columbia.
Among the recommendations in the report, Bellringer recommends the ministry collaborate with boards of education, superintendents, and Aboriginal leaders and communities to create a shared, system-wide strategy. "Ten years ago, the ministry of education committed to increasing the Aboriginal student graduation rate to 85 per cent by 2015, an ambitious target to put Aboriginal students on par with their non-Aboriginal peers," explained Bellringer. "But the ministry did not lead the development of a system-wide strategy to achieve their target." Bellringer added that through its leadership, the ministry can further support a public school system where school districts have the capacity to achieve better outcomes for Aboriginal students, educators expect all Aboriginal students to graduate, and Aboriginal history, language and culture are valued. Education minister Mike Bernier said government accepts each of the 11 recommendations in the report and agrees with the need to continue improving Aboriginal outcomes in B.C.'s education system. “We have a responsibility to Aboriginal students, to their parents, and to all communities to build on how far we have come,” said Bernier. “We are going to keep working together with our partners so one day soon there are no achievement gaps between Aboriginal students and all other students." This school year there are approximately 66,600 Aboriginal students in both public and independent schools, or about 10.5 per cent of the total student population in B.C.

Three B.C. ministers in Trudeau cabinet By Tom Fletcher
BAKING FOR MONEY The Lakes District Community Services Society held a bake sale recently at the Lakeview Mall. The money raised will help the Reach program with their travel expenses. LAURA BLACKWELL PHOTO
THANK YOU
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has appointed three rookie B.C. MPs to his new cabinet, all from the Lower Mainland. Vancouver South MP Harjit Sajjan, a former Lieutenant-Colonel in the Canadian Forces who served three tours in Afghanistan, is the new Minister of Defence. He was a Vancouver Police officer for 11 years before running for Parliament in the Oct. 19 election. Vancouver-Granville MP Jody WilsonRaybould, another first-time candidate elected to the new riding of VancouverGranville, is appointed Justice Minister. Wilson-Raybould is a former Crown prosecutor and served as B.C. regional chief for the Assembly of First Nations before running for national office. Delta MP Carla Qualtrough is appointed minister for Sport and Persons with Disabilities. A lawyer and specialist in disabilities who is visually impaired, Qualtrough won three medals in swimming at the 1988 and 1992 Paralympic Games. B.C. Premier Christy Clark congratulated the new B.C. MPs, part of a contingent of 17 elected with the Liberal majority in Ottawa. "I am pleased to see British Columbia will be well represented at the cabinet table," Clark said in a statement Wednesday. "I know ministers Jody Wilson-Raybould, Harjit Sajjan and Carla Qualtrough will

How does LDM keep our roads safe in winter?

Flavio Nienow On this season’s first snowfall in Burns Lake, Lakes District Maintenance (LDM) invited Lakes District News publisher Laura Blackwell to see it for herself how our roads get cleared in winter. While on the road with Steve Gailing, LDM’s Operations Manager, Blackwell witnessed all the hard work that takes place behind the scenes to ensure people in the Lakes District can drive home safely every day. Typically when it snows, LDM crews hit the road to check how much ice or snow is accumulating. Crews drive along the three highways in the area – Hwy. 16, Hwy. 35 and Hwy. 118 - and then report back to the area manager. Once the area manager receives all the necessary information, LDM is able to make a plan of action and decide what kind of equipment and how many crews will be deployed to clear the streets in the area. Gailing explained that LDM tries to keep snow accumulation below four centimetres on Hwy. 16 and below six centimetres on Hwy. 35 and Hwy. 118. Blackwell observed that communication remains constant during all LDM’s operations. While crews are out on the road, they report back to each other and the area manager about every 10 minutes, providing updates on road and weather conditions. When the weather is considered more challenging, LDM also provides hourly updates to the B.C. Ministry of Transportation and Highways. The first day of snow in the Lakes District on Oct. 28, 2015, saw LDM out plowing and sanding Hwy. 118, which connects Topley to the Village of Granisle. Gailing said Hwy. 118 always seems to get the most snow because the highway has an elevation of about 4000 feet in some spots. He added that some parts of Hwy. 16 can also present challenges due to its high elevations at Priestly Hill and Hungry Hill. Another challenging road for LDM has been the Colleymount Road, which extends from Francois Lake’s ferry landing to km 54 (west corner of Francois Lake). According to residents, Colleymount Road has had a significant increase of commercial and non-commercial traffic and presents safety issues such as narrow, blind corners and sloughing on both road portions and embankments. So while the ministry of transportation has been analyzing the possibility of upgrading the road, LDM has made it a priority to keep the road as clear as possible. Gailing said LDM did lots of shoulder grading and brushing last fall to prepare the road for the winter season. In addition, LDM made a sand pit out at Colleymount and designated a grader specifically for the Hwy. 35/Colleymount corridor during winter operations. Gailing said it will be much easier to maintain Colleymount Road with a sand pit and a grader designated for that road. Steven Burkholder, General Manager at Tahtsa Group, has publicly complimented the work LDM has done on Colleymount Road. Lakes District Maintenance is also in testing mode with a new brine solution to loosen ice on our highways this season. Brine is water saturated or nearly saturated with salt that has a lower freezing point than water. Gailing explained that applying brine to our highways is a “step ahead” of a straight salt application and that it helps the highways dry out quicker. “Being as it is a new strategy for us, the right application [of brine] in the right conditions is still to be determined,” he said. “We are very optimistic that it [brine] will be yet another tool we can use to improve highway safety and look forward to using it this winter.”

Is B.C.’s wolf cull linked to forest industry concerns? Briefing notes may indicate government was influenced by industry
Flavio Nienow In the story ‘Controversy grows over B.C.’s five-year wolf cull program’ published in the Lakes District News’ Sept. 30, 2015 issue, the province had launched a wolf cull program with the goal of killing up to 180 wolves to protect caribou herds. Bad weather and a low snowpack made it more difficult for the province to reach their initial goal, resulting in 84 wolves killed in two areas - the South Selkirk Mountains and the South Peace. According to a story published by The Globe and Mail, briefing notes prepared for meetings between B.C. environment minister Mary Polak and industry representatives in 2014 might indicate the government was prompted by the forest industry to launch the wolf cull program. “Tolko [Industries Ltd.] is concerned about potential impacts of the federal recovery strategy for the woodland caribou,” says one of the notes. A federal recovery plan for caribou would demand more logging areas be set aside. The Globe and Mail points out that at the time of the meetings in 2014, the wolf cull program had not yet been launched. What was already in place was the mountain caribou recovery implementation program (MCRIP), which had set aside forest land, established a captive breeding program for caribou and limited recreational snowmobile access in caribou areas. “Actions within the MCRIP have largely been implemented with the exception of effectively managing wolf populations," states another briefing note. "Industry has criticized government for failing to effectively implement this recovery action, and will be very reluctant to forgo additional harvesting opportunities to meet any additional habitat targets

With a wolf population estimated to range between 5300 and 11,600, the provincial government says wolf populations are plentiful, and that the grey wolf is not a species of concern in B.C. imposed by the federal recovery strategy.” The briefing notes were obtained through a freedom of information (FOI) request filed by Wilderness Committee director Gwen Barlee. She told The Globe and Mail she is alarmed by how closely the government and the forest industry appear to have been working. “Are we having the B.C. government write recovery strategies for species at risk, or are we having logging companies writing recovery strategies for species at risk?” she asked. During a media scrum in the legislature last week, environment minister Mary Polak said the briefing notes should not have come as a surprise. “I don’t think anyone would be surprised to hear that the forest industry would want to encourage us not to protect more [caribou] habitat,” she said. “That would be a standard response from industry.” She continued, “I don’t they [forest industry] would be surprised to hear that the environmental organizations would want us to protect more [caribou habitat]; it’s standard information that would be provided to a minister ahead of the meeting to advise the minister what the position is of the
particular group they are meeting with.” Polak said moving to a cull of wolves was the result of an “emergency situation with a rapid declining individual [caribou] herd.” “It’s not province-wide, it’s targeted, and it has the support of the local environmental organization,” she said. According to the province, the operational plans for both the Selkirks and South Peace wolf cull have been independently peer-reviewed. In addition, the province says the wolf cull program is being employed in conjunction with ongoing habitat protection efforts. “Habitat recovery continues to be an important part of caribou recovery, but cannot address the critical needs of these herds in the short term,” said the province in a press release. With a wolf population estimated to range between 5300 and 11,600, the provincial government says wolf populations are plentiful, and that the grey wolf is not a species of concern in B.C. “The risk of removing the number of wolves recommended is very low, whereas the risk to pertinent caribou populations of doing nothing is very high.”

Seniors’ growth rate has accelerated since 2011
Northern Health focuses on health promotion for senior citizens
Flavio Nienow According to Statistics Canada, for the first time, the number of persons aged 65 years and older exceeded the number of children aged zero to 14 years across the country. In fact, the growth rate of the population aged 65 years and older was about four times the growth rate of the total population in 2014/15. This growth trend accelerated in 2011, when the first members of the baby boom generation - persons born between 1946 and 1965 - turned 65. Northern Health says the seniors’ population in Northern B.C. is growing more rapidly in proportion to the rest of the province, and this has implications for the delivery of health services in rural and remote areas. In order to take action and improve services offered to senior citizens, Northern Health has recently announced the development a new action plan. The action plan will provide the framework for the effective delivery of seniors’ health services in Northern B.C. over the next five years. “We need to look at innovative ways to care for our aging population, and this action plan helps with that goal,” said Dr. Nicole Ebert. “We want people to be healthy and happy throughout their life, and in partnership with health professionals and communities we can help accomplish that goal.” To best support older adults within Northern Health’s resources, the focus of the operational plan will be on health promotion, prevention and community support for healthy aging. The seniors’ action plan outlines three areas of focus - keeping seniors healthy in their communities through a population health approach; providing integrated primary and community care with early recognition and support for frailty; and taking a

The seniors’ action plan has been developed using feedback gathered by Northern Health’s board of directors in 2013/14 through consultation with seniors and seniors’ groups.

In addition to the seniors’ action plan, Northern Health also

These sub-strategies will be used in conjunction with the seniors’ action plan to address the needs of Northern B.C. residents as they age. The seniors’ action plan also aligns with the ministry of health’s seniors’ strategy. The strategy places a focus on offering more effective care options in the community to help reduce inappropriate hospitalizations and improve quality of life.

What should we not forget View Point By Roland & Lisa Cataford
“Lest we forget” is the motto of every Remembrance Day. What should we not forget? Let’s not forget the hateful ideologies and
regimes that started these wars. Unless we remember the propaganda, the methodology, the infiltrating and deceptive pretexts by which the Hitlers, Stalins, Ottomans, and other evil dictatorships rose to power, we will be sitting ducks for a repeat. We must know our history and know it well, that we might be on guard. Let’s not forget the cost of freedom. Freedom isn’t free. Our freedoms are built on the blood of those who loved their families, country, and fellow-man more than themselves. The blood and scars of
our veterans is a testimony to the love, valor and courage, of those who refused to sit back and let evil win. Every cross adorning the graveyards of the fallen, symbolizes true sacrificial love - “Greater love has no man than this, than to lay down His life for his friends.” Let’s not forget that our national anthem says, “God keep our land glorious and free”. Our forefathers understood that God empowers those who stand for the truths foundational to freedom. Evil and terror may gain a foothold, but they are des-
tined to destruction, as history attests. God will make valiant those willing to stand against evil. Our generations have forgotten that there are three verses to our national anthem, not just one. The eloquent third verse says, “Ruler Supreme, who hears our humble prayers, hold our dominion, within Thy loving care; Help us to find, O God, in Thee, a lasting rich reward, as waiting for the Better Day, we ever stand on guard.” Yes, “God keep our land, glorious and free! O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.”

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21: Resist the urge to feel slighted when others don’t pay you the attention you think you deserve, Taurus. Your efforts are being noticed, and they will pay dividends in the long run.
SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21: Now is a great time to tell family members that you love them, Sagittarius. Open up your heart and share your feelings. You’re bound to feel better for having done so.
GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21: Put your worries aside, Gemini. This week you will be floating on a cloud. Something special comes your way, and the next week should be filled with laughter.
CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20: Capricorn, connect with creative people this week and delve into projects that inspire your own creative energy. Even though you’re being crafty, you still will be productive.
CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22: Don’t allow indecision to keep you from your ultimate goal this week, Cancer. Do your best to keep an open mind and have confidence in your ability to make the right call.
AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18: AThis is a good week to make a bold move, Aquarius. Keeping your feelings inside will not produce results. Take action and you will be glad you did.
LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23: You are spurred on by other people’s energy this week, Leo. The more social engagements you can set up the better off you will be. Host a party or enjoy a night on the town.
PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20: Tasks may need a little more attention this week, Pisces. If things seem to take a bit longer, exercise patience and you will solve the problem.
VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22: Virgo, stay busy this week with tasks that keep your mind occupied. You can use a few pressure-free days, and staying busy will prevent you from worrying.
ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20: Aries, things go well in your love life this week, especially after you let go of the reins for a little while. You will be surprised at what comes when you accept change.
LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23: Things may reach a critical point this week, Libra. How you react in tough situations will give others a good indication of how reliable you can be.

While you might treat your computer with the utmost respect & care, even those friends and relatives with the best of intentions may end up treating it about as well as a rental car should you allow them to borrow it. They are usually unfamiliar with your system and may make changes, install bad programs, or get in places where they are not supposed to be. A solution to allow your associates to check their email without getting into your personal stuff is to enable the Windows Guest Account. To turn on the Guest Account, open up the Control Panel and open User Accounts (If it’s not there, change the View By in the upper right of the window to large or small Icons instead of Category). In Windows Vista, 7, and 8 you’ll see “Manage another account” in blue, click on this and it’ll show you all the user accounts on your computer. Click on Guest, click the Turn On button, and you’re done. Now when the computer boots there will be an option to choose between your account and the guest. If you’re still worried about guests signing in under your account, put a password on it temporarily, you can always remove it and shut off the guest account after they leave.

Pete Mathews died peacefully at the age of 96 in Powell River, B.C. Born September 7, 1919 in North Vancouver, B.C. He lived his formative years in Smithers, B.C. and went to sea at the age of 16 on the Empress of Japan.

He moved his family from Salmon Arm, B.C. to Southbank, B.C. in 1950 where he lived until 1969, retiring in Fauquier, B.C. in 1978. Predeceased by his first wife Mary, sons Don and Dana, grandsons Peter and Brodie, granddaughter Carly, and son in-law Phil. Survived by his wife Agnes, sons Bryan and Hal, daughters Ida and Sally, 12 grandchildren and 19 great grandchildren.
