For the first time since 2012, Lake Babine Nation is dipping their nets into the waters of Babine Lake to harvest the sockeye salmon pop-ulation and it the season couldn’t be going any better.

There are roughly 30,000 sockeye salmon travelling through Lake Babine Nation fences per day so far this year.

Efforts have wrapped up a one of the fence lo-cations on Babine Lake and efforts are now be-ing turned to fences at Fulton and Pinkut Lake.

The Department of Fisheries and Oceans Can-

ada (DFO), the lead agency for salmon manage-ment in B.C. predicted a large return of salmon this year due to the fact that the population was expected to mostly the progeny of salmon that spawned in the record run of 2010.

It was expected that 2.4 million sockeye salm-on would migrate through Babine Lake this year, an expectation that led the lake to be classified as a category four by the DFO’s stock assessment staff.

A category four ranking means that the popu-lation is abundant and well above targeted goals for the year.

A successful salmon harvest for Lake Babine Nation means that they will be able to sell their fresh salmon to buyers down on the coast in Van-couver, as well as sell it locally.

It also means the Lake Babine Nation mem-bers will receive their salmon for the season, too.

The salmon harvest is a primary source of in-come for Lake Babine Nation and the money it generates allows projects to be started an infra-structure to be upgraded.

According to Wilf Adam, Chief of Lake Babine Nation, construction on the hall at Fort Babine has already begun and other projects are on the way to being started, too.

“We are meeting our targets,” Adam said, “It’s going really well, approximately 30,000 fish per day travel through the fences, and there was a whole slew the previous two days.”

Last year the population of sockeye salmon was too low, and it forced Lake Babine Nation to halt the harvesting for the year.

It led to a shortage of fish for food for mem-bers and the loss of income forced projects to be stopped.

To that end, Lake Babine Nation always tries to maintain the balance and the population even during a successful run such as this year.

“We only take what we need, which is a small percentage of the population,” Adam said, “This year species, such as coho were left alone be-cause of the low population.”

Babine Lake was one of 22 out of 84 outlook categories to improve its DFO ranking this year.

Last week a series of cooler weath-er and short spouts of rain gave fire-fighters in the Northwest Fire Centre the opportunity to gain a greater con-tainment on the more volatile fires in the region.

The region within the Northwest Fire Centre, which includes Burns Lake, experienced almost drought like conditions during the last week of July and the first two weeks of Au-gust allowing forest fire fuels to dry out and become very ignitable and very combustible.

The fire danger rating has hovered

near extreme the entire first half of the month.

The hot temperatures and dry weather caused a number of forest fires to either start or spread.

The two most significant of these fires was the Chelaslie River fire and the China Nose Mountain fire.

Currently in the Northwest Fire Centre's region there are four forest fires burning.

The Eutsuk Lake fire, which is located south of Smithers in the Re-gional District of Bulkley-Nechako's (RDBN) Electoral Area 'E,' was dis-covered on July 14.

The fire is currently 3750 hectares and is being fought with a modified response technique, which means it is being allowed to burn within a set of parameters set by the Wildfire Man-agement Branch.

The rail crossing that was the site of an accident between a logging truck and a CN Rail train has been reopened by CN Rail.

The solution that was worked on by CN Rail and by Hampton Affiliates, the owners of the Decker Lake Forest Products sawmill was that Hampton has hired a temporary flag person to monitor the crossing.

This will allow logs to be once again delivered to the sawmill, and give CN Rail and Hampton time to evaluate the situation further.

"This is a temporary solution while CN evaluates whether equipment, such as automated lights and the like are required," Steve Zika, President and Chief Executive Officer said, "I am not sure how long the evaluation of other poten-tial solutions will take, but we are relieved in the mean time to be able to get logs delivered off highway to our Decker Lake sawmill again."

The accident caused 22 intermodal cars and two locomotives to derail.It caused the closure of the rail line for the entire day, and the closing of the

crossing for nearly one month.

Rail crossing reopened

Last Week’s Question: Are you happy with resources provided to forest firefighters?

25% No 75% Yes

The month-long Agri-cultural Land Commis-sion consultation closed Aug. 22, and the B.C. government is compil-ing the feedback received from a province-wide tour and invitation to com-ment.

I can’t tell you much about the official input. The consultation sessions were by invitation only, with no media allowed,

and the submissions via website are also not public.I reached Agriculture Minister Norm Letnick as

he was traveling around B.C. with his camper van, conducting his own meetings with farmers. He’s not saying much either, except that a summary of the findings should be made public in September as the government considers new regulations.

The aim of this exercise is to consider relaxing rules around secondary farmland uses in the Interior,

Kootenay and North regions, as well as food processing and retail sales of food and beverages on farmland. Also under consideration is allowing breweries and distilleries, as wine and cider production are now allowed, and relaxing rules to permit more off-farm products to be sold from farms.

Letnick defended the 30-day summer consultation as adequate. It’s based on 11 questions de-veloped with staff, farm groups and local government. He’s also not counting how many emails were stacked up by proponents or critics.

“I’m not conducting a plebiscite,” Letnick said. “What I’m trying to do is come up with the best balance of recommendations to make to government that can hold their own based on the idea and the potential positive and negative consequences.”

NDP agriculture critic Lana Popham was more forthcoming. She was invited to the formal sessions, and also won’t talk about them directly. But she’s not backing away from her criticisms.

The government is proposing to bypass the Agricultural Land Commission for several kinds of decisions, including subdivision for family use or into properties of 160 acres or more.

“I think the general idea was that people trust the ALC to make that decision, and it should still go through the commission,” Popham said. “Actually the commission has been making those decisions anyway, and I think they’ve been quite fair when somebody applies.”

She said farmers also aren’t sold on the notion of easing the rules for secondary businesses. “You will already find situations where there’s, let’s say a welding shop or something like that

attached to somebody’s residence who lives on ALR land,” Popham said. “That sort of stuff has been allowed, but it’s always had to go through the ALC or some sort of process that’s been in place. This leaves that process out, and so I think that’s the problem people are having.”

She noted that non-farm activities have a way of growing until they become the main business.A reader who attended the Kelowna session said even winery operators aren’t thrilled about

the proposal to enlarge retail space and allow sales of wine or beer not made on site. He said “not one” participant there liked the idea of increasing industrial activity such as food process-ing or retailing. And he agreed with Popham that the ALC is doing a good job with subdivision applications.

Popham also clarified the situation with the leased craft gin distillery on her own Vancouver Island farm. It started as a winery, and the conversion needed only local government approval because the production facility was already considered and taxed as light industrial.

Victoria Gin has been a model for the government’s push to allow distilleries, breweries or meaderies on farmland. Given the B.C. Liberals’ love of liberalized liquor, I expect that change to go through.

Cast your vote this week: Have you caught any salmon on Babine Lake this year?

To vote log on to www.ldnews.net

Don’t let the recent cooling off period fool you, the forest fire situa-tion in the Northwest and throughout the province is still volatile.

This past week, the Regional District of Bulkley-Nechako re-scinded all evacuation orders that had been is-sued for the China Nose Mountain fire, leaving only an evacuation alert

for certain areas that are closest to the wildfire lo-cated 15 km Southeast of Houston.

This is a relief I’m sure to many, after the events of two weeks ago when there was a community meeting was held at the Island Gospal Fellowship church, and a great number of people were ordered to evacuate their homes and even more were put on evacuation alert.

The strong winds that were expected to accom-pany the cold front that was passing through Burns Lake and the area never materialized and fire fighting crews were able to have some success fighting the fire.

Despite the drop in temperatures and the small amount of rain that the area received these fires in the area are still very volatile.

The China Nose Mountain fire sits at approximately 3700 hectares in total area, and is only 40 per cent contained.

Crews continue 24 hour operations in order to contain the fire.The Chelaslie River fire on the Southside near Tweedsmuir Park is one of the largest fires

in the province, sitting at over 128,000 hectares in total area.While it may seem like the fire situation is under control in the Northwest and in the prov-

ince, it is not.An additional 90 out of province firefighters were flown into Prince George last weekend

to help with various fires in the province.They join the 360 out of province firefighters that have already arrived and working to

battle fires in the province and the 75 personnel that have flown in from Australia.Forest fire fuels remain dry and easily combustible.The province is already spending close to $4 million per day fighting fires and it is ex-

pected that the final bill at the end of the season for fire fighting costs will reach more than $250 million.

With the Labour Day long weekend coming up this weekend, campers and recreation and outdoor enthusiast need to be careful when they are vacationing this weekend.

With costs soaring, and resources spread thin, the last thing needed is man made forest fires to ignite causing the further spreading out of resources.

The campfire ban remains in affect for the Northwest Fire Centre, meaning that campfires, open category two and three fires, along with activities such as fireworks and tiki torches are banned.

As well, many outdoor stoves and portable campfire cooking apparatuses that are not CSA or ULC approved are banned.

As was noted in this column last week these firefighters that are out there battling these blazes to keep our communities safe and prevent damage to our properties have been putting in incredibly long hours all summer long.

This Labour Day weekend, let’s give them support the only way we can, by adhering to the campfire bans and ensuring that we are smart while camping and enjoying the outdoors.

The last thing all of us want is for more people to be put on an evacuation order, and the last thing this province needs is another forest fire draining our minimal resources.

Be safe this Labour Day

FOREST FIRES from ▼ P2

Typically, a fire will be classified as a modi-fied response fire if it is determined that a fire will help achieve a particular land man-agement objective and if there is no threat to life or property.

The second fire burning in the region is the Deadwood Lake southwest fire, which is located North of Smithers, near the B.C. and Yukon boarder.

The fire was discovered Aug. 3.The fire has nearly doubled in size the past

week, from 1600 hectares to 2830 hectares, despite the cooler temperatures.

Just like the fire at Eutsuk Lake, the Dead-wood Lake fire is being fought with a modi-fied response technique.

The third fire burning in the Northwest Fire Centre's region is the Chelaslie River fire.

This fire is one of the largest in area in the entire province at an estimated size of 133,771 hectares.

It was discovered on July 8 and started burning near Tweedsmuir park.

Currently there are 284 firefighters, 15 he-licopters and 20 pieces of heavy equipment being used to fight the fire.

The heavy equipment is being utilized to established new machine guards and contain new fire perimeters.

As well, firefighters continue to establish new contingency guards and are mopping up spot fires that have started outside of the fire perimeter.

A second Wildfire Management Branch camp has been implemented on the Northern side of the fire.

An evacuation order has been issued for all cabin owners in the Entiako provincial park by B.C. Parks, and the park has been closed, too.

The Regional District of Bulkley-Necha-ko has upgraded the evacuation alert to an evacuation order on Aug. 13.

The order encompasses the area for the east half of Tetachuck Lake area from the north bank of Uchu Reach, 1.5 km south of Chedakuz Forest Service Road, and for the eastern and southern boundary of the RDBN Electoral Area 'E' (Francois/Ootsa Lake Ru-

ral).An evacuation alert issued Aug. 6 for the

areas from Intata Reach at the confluence of Uchu Reach in Electoral Area 'E', to the southern boarder of Electoral Area 'D' (Fras-er Lake Rural) at Red Road to Erhorn Creek, north along Erhorn Creek to the Nechako Reservoir, including all the land between the west and east banks at the Nechako Reser-voir to Erhorn Creek and from the eastern boundary of Entiako provincial park to the Easter and southern boundaries of Electoral Area 'E', is still in affect.

An evacuation alert has been issued by the

Cariboo Regional District, as well.An area closure order issued by the Wild-

fire Management Branch Aug. 2 is still in affect.

The closure covers the area from the Kluskus Forest Service Road of the Natalkuz 500 road, south and west of the Kluskus For-est Service Road in to the Vantine, Malaput and Cheakuz areas.

Access restriction has been established at 118 km on the Kluskus Forest Service Road and 77.5 km on Red Road.

The fourth wildfire burning is the China Nose Mountain Fire.

The fire was discovered Aug. 11 and is ap-proximately 3700 hectares in size.

It is considered a top priority fire in the province due to its relative close location to communities between Burns Lake and Houston.

There are currently 166 firefighters, seven helicopters and 16 pieces of heavy equip-ment being used to battle the blaze.

As well, 40 support staff have been as-signed to this fire, including an incident

command team and three structural protec-tion units.

The fire is now 40 per cent contained as crews on the North and East flanks of the fire continue to mop up the fire, while crews on the West and South flanks continue to rein-force fire guards and work on contain-ment lines.

A controlled burn was successfully achieved last week, which saw forest fire fuels between the fire and contain-ment lines reduced.

All evacuation orders issued by the RDBN have been rescinded, but an

evacuation alert remains in place.The alert covers the area south

from 9840 Heading Creek Forest Service Road, North to Gilmore Lake Forest Service Road and Sun-set Forest Service Road intersec-tion, West to Snow Mobile Cabin on Equity Mine Road, East to and including Crow Creek Road beyond the train tracks, East to 22387 and 22507 North, including the entirety of Rose Lake Cutoff Road and Day Lake Road, southern portions of the Forest Dale Canyon Road, the

Northern portions of the Maxan Creek Forest Service Road to the Southwest portion of the Decker-Maxan Road, including Bulkley Lake, Day Lake, Elwin Lake and Maxan Lake.

While crews have received favour-able weather as they continue to battle the blaze 24 hours a day, the fire re-mains volatile and uncontrolled.

"This fire is still a large, uncontrolled wildfire, and current weather condi-tions combined with dry forest fire fuels are conducive to extreme fire be-haviour," Mike Mc-C u l l e y , Fire In-formation Officer for the Wild-fire Man-a g e m e n t

Branch on the China Nose Mountain Fire said, "The public is encouraged to stay vigi-lant at all times."

Campfire bans remain in affect.To report a wildfire call toll free at 1-800-

663-5555 or *5555 on a cellphone.

Fires somewhat contained, but remain unsettled

On Sunday evening last there was a church service at St. Luke’s on the lake… it was a service everyone could enjoy with lots of good music and singing. The service started with a delightful pot-luck lunch with lots for everyone to enjoy, then the service with the music, singing and readings suitable for our service.

It was a pleasure to have Pastor Herb Larsen present and give our closing prayer. It’s good news to once more have services in St. Luke’s. Thanks to those who made this possible, God will love you for that. The

church is open to any-one. You will be most welcome and I know you will enjoy the ser-vice so come and give it a try.

No smokeA lovely morning, no

smoke in sight for far, let’s hope and pray the fires are under control and once more folks will be able to rest easy.

This summer will be remembered for a long time with so much dev-astation in our beauti-ful forest. We do need rain and big time too. Folks are having to wa-ter their gardens, that’s if they want a garden and this is very impor-tant to their living.

All the hay fields are powder dry and so are the pastures. I don’t re-member it so dry for so long. Francois Lake is on a big time low. It’s a bit scary for water lines when winter comes.

MusicOn Wednesday eve-

ning last we were once more treated by the Decker Lake Menno-

nite church choir to a lovely singing and also a gospel message for us all. They always leave us with a good feeling. It’s always good to see so many young people taking part in the choir.

Back in the dayWhen we took over

the store at Francois Lake and no power so keeping things was a big problem. Every winter we filled an ice-house on the lake. This was a big job as we also had to haul saw-dust from the mill to pack the ice blocks in.

We had a big icebox that held a big chunk of ice and we would pack the milk and fresh groceries. What a job this was but it worked. Then we bought a pro-pane fridge and this worked but was expen-sive to operate.

Most everyone was in the same boat. Then the community got to-gether with B.C. Hydro and we got power, what a change to our way of living. It was what you

would call a Godsend. Now we take it for granted, plug or pull the switch and you are away. That’s one time when our community really pulled together and we got power.

Way backThis is a little story

that goes back many years. It was a very hot dry summer here so our family decided we would take a weeks holiday in lower B.C. On the way down it was hot even hotter than Francois Lake.

Anyway we were nearly cooked so we pulled into Lillooet, that was not too smart as that little town was melting. We pulled into a little cafe and our car tires cut into the pave-ment as we drove in to park. The building was an oven. One guy told us they were frying eggs on the pavement and I believed him.

The flies were ter-rible in the cafe so we backed out and hit the road. I had never ever

been in a place so hot and I will never every say Francois Lake is too hot. We sure were glad to get to a cooler place.

August 22 the rain came, what a bless-ing for us all. It was a thirsty land but this morning everything has changed. Our prayers have been answered.

Birthday dinnerA wonderful birth-

day supper was held for me on Saturday night at the home of Rick and Marie Hunter on August 23 with fam-ily and fiends. Rick did the BBQ and what a great job he did too.

Fresh salmon and turkey and all the trim-mings, what a meal. The dinner was to be served on the front lawn but a rain shower came up so we moved into the house.

But it did clear up later on. It was a spe-cial evening for us to have our Irish family with us for their last weekend as they will

be leaving us for home early Monday morning for Prince George to catch their plane.

Karmen, Robyn, Jor-dyn and their mother Kathy. We are really going to miss them. T

hey had a wonder-ful time with visiting, swimming, hiking, four wheeling and en-joyed having them just to talk over old times with family and school days.

It all turned out to be a fun summer for us all. They are already talk-ing about another visit. Maybe come back to stay who knows.

On one of their walks with their cousins visit-ing Nourse falls they came up on a mountain goat which is not com-mon but they do come down to the falls some-times so I have heard.

They took pictures which were very inter-esting. I would like to thank friends and fam-ily for the cards, they are so very precious to me and also the phone

calls I have received. I never ever thought that I would make 92 years.

Another thank you to my granddaughters who made up two large trays of tarts with 92 on the top. This took lots of time and thank you for those as well they were so nice and tasty. Again I must say thanks so much to friends and family you are all so special to me.

Something to think on

Dreams are never destroyed by circum-stances, dreams are born in the heart and mind and only there can never die, because while the difficult takes time the impossible takes a little longer.

Take care and always remember God loves you and so do I.

P.S.We had the plea-

sure of a visit from the Grassy Plains gospel church. We always en-joy them stopping in for a hymn sing. They do a great job.

Thanks to everyone who came to my birthday

The Rotary Club of Burns Lake hosted their 25th Annual Tweedsmuir Trek this year. It was, once again, a huge success. Exchange students from all over the world joined local students on a Wilderness Adventure in beautiful Tweedsmuir Park. The event was conceived as our local club’s contribution to the Rotary

International Exchange program that sends students worldwide on a year long cultural exchange. It is organized with hundreds of hours of volunteer effort and support from many individuals and families, both inside and outside of the club.

editor:The Polley Lake Mine tailings breach is occur-

ring daily in B.C.! That’s right, it’s true! Thanks to Mother Nature, not only do we have thousands of slides occurring in B.C. each year, we also have water run off occurring naturally in thousands of creeks and streams – water run off that people have erroneously been calling “toxic” water.

As an example, “Fools Gold”, or “Pyrite”, is just one of Mother Nature’s little pranks on humanity. It turns out that this useless rock, which fooled many a prospector in its day, has another last laugh for humankind. The natural forces of Mother Nature continually expose and release the iron and sulphur mixture in Pyrite which rain then washes away as acidic (low pH) water into streams, creeks and

lakes all over B.C., and without detrimentally af-fecting fish or humans.

That’s right. Acidic, so-call “toxic”, water has been leaching into our fish-bearing waterways for centuries due to the weathering and erosion of planet Earth. It’s been happening since before Eu-ropeans and Asians arrived in B.C. and it’s likely been happening since before the First Nations ap-peared.

So I have to ask: why has there been so much hullabaloo over the low pH acidic water from Mount Polley affecting fish when low pH acidic run off water is occurring naturally every day all over B.C.?

editor:Recently the BC Liberals launched a Ministry

of Education website citing impressive facts that are in fact impressively misleading. The website boasts of record funding levels for education, tech-nically true, but fails to mention that funding has steadily fallen behind inflation. During this gov-ernment’s tenure per student funding has fallen from the Canadian average to $1000 per student below the Canadian average. The website points to improved graduation rates but fails to mention that this government changed graduation requirements, making them easier. The website repeatedly notes that BC typically outperforms other provinces on student tests even though BC teachers are paid be-low the Canadian average. This trend has always existed, it’s what I call the ‘BC bonus’. Mobile

professionals, not just teachers, will work for less in BC because they get to live here. We have teach-ers in our local schools who came here from prov-inces with higher teacher salaries. They prefer to live and work here. The website notes proudly that BC students perform well on international math, science and language tests. They sure do, go BC schools! The website fails however to mention that BC’s ranking on those tests has been declin-ing since the Liberals first took office and began implementing cuts. The government is well aware of all of this, they just rather you weren’t aware. They would have you believe that through some un-specified management magic they’ve been able to improve performance while reducing costs. Don’t be fooled.

The province of Brit-ish Columbia is flying in even more additional fire fighting personnel to help battle the nu-merous blazes that are still burning throughout B.C.

An additional 90 per-sonnel were brought into B.C. over the week-end as there are still 162 fires burning in the province.

The 90 firefighters from Ontario and Al-berta were flown into Prince George before being sent out to fires in the province.

The incoming per-sonnel are type one fire crews and special-ized personnel and they will be performing key functions on the various fires.

The request for ad-ditional out of province personnel was mad through the Canadian Interagency Forest Fire

Centre (CIFFC), which allows for the sharing of resources between provinces and territo-ries in Canada.

The cost of the addi-tional fire fighters will be covered by B.C.

In addition to the 90 firefighters that arrived over the weekend, two dispatchers from Alaska arrived on Aug. 20.

The assistance is pro-vided under the North-west Compact that sees resource sharing between B.C., Alberta, Saskatchewan, the Yu-kon and the Northwest Territories in Canada and the states of Wash-ington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana and Alaska in the United States.

The fire fighters join the 1350 provincial staff, 650 contractors, over 360 out of prov-ince personnel and the 75 personnel from Aus-tralia already fighting forest fires throughout the province.

Mayor Luke Strim-bold thanked firefight-ing crews on behalf of the Burns Lake com-munity.

“Tonight I had the op-portunity to say thank you on behalf of our community to the fire fighters from all across the world that are work-ing on the China Nose fire,” Strimbold said, “The crews work day and night to keep our communities safe and

More firefighting personnel arrive as fire activity increases

to protect our timber, which is our current and future economy. There are few words that ex-press how grateful we all are.”

Over the weekend

crews in the Northwest Fire Centre responded to eight new fires in the region.

It is suspected that seven of these fires were caused by light-

ning strikes, while one is being investigated as a human caused fire.

Firefighting crews from the Chelaslie River fire take a break from battling the fire in one of the camps set up near the fire. Fire activity throughout the province remains a concern, which prompted the province to ask for additional fire fighting personnel. This past weekend another 90 firefighters from Ontario and Alberta were flown into Prince George to await being sent throughout B.C. to the various wildfires. The Northwest Fire Centre saw an increase in fire activity over the weekend as an additional eight fires were started. Seven due to lightning, while one was human caused.

Pacific Booker Minerals will have to wait for the environmental assessment on its Morrison Mine project after it was suspended by environment minister Mary Polak last Monday.

Polak suspended the copper and gold mine's environmental assessment until the outcome of the independent expert engi-neering investigation and review panel, in relation to the tailings dam breach at the Mount Polley Mine in Likely, B.C.

The investigation and review panel were

announced last Monday by energy and mines minister, Bill Bennett.

Under the Environmental Assessment Act, the minister of environment can sus-pend an assessment until the outcome of any investigation, inquiry, hearing or other process that is conducted by the provincial government that is relative to the assess-ment is complete.

The proposed Morrison Mine would be located 65 km Northeast of Smithers and 35 km North of the Village of Granisle.

The project is a conventional open-pit mine with an extraction rate of approxi-mately 30,000 tonnes per day.

The life span of the mine is expected to be 21 years.

Pacific Booker Minerals were original-ly denied their environmental assessment certificate for the Morrison Mine project back in October 2012.

However, a ruling by the B.C. Supreme Court overturned the original ruling in De-cember 2013.

Earlier this June Pacific Booker Miner-als application for an environmental as-sessment certificate began to be re-eval-uated by the Environmental Assessment Office.

Erik Tournquist, director for Pacific

Booker Minerals says that his company will be fully compliant with any recom-mendations put forward.

"The company will comply with all the recommendations made by the indepen-dent expert engineering investigation and review panel," Tournquist said, "We will construct and operate the Morrison Mine in compliance with industry best prac-tices, using proven technology and in full compliance with all permit requirements."

The proposed mine requires an environ-mental assessment certificate because it is a new metal mine with an ore produc-tion capacity which exceeds the regulation threshold of 75,000 tonnes per year.

"The company wishes to emphasize that it is committed to bringing the proposed Morrison copper and gold project to com-mercial production," Tournquist said.

The project is expected to employ 1117 part-time, full-time and temporary work-ers during the two year construction pe-riod and another 661 part-time, full-time and temporary workers over the 21 year life span of the mine.

It is expected, if approved that the proj-ect will bring in an estimated $64.5 mil-lion in provincial revenue over the life span, too.

Young Burns Laker attends conservation campCole Bernard attends conservation camp in the Kispiox Valley after being named the recipient of the ‘I Fight for Life’ fundSteven MaiSey

The Lakes District is home to a number of opportunities, such as camping, fishing, mountain biking and hunting to name a few, that outdoor enthusiast can take advantage of over the course of the year.

That enthusiasm for the outdoors, and the opportunities it presents and the resources it gives the community is very evident in the people who live in the area.

Cole Bernard is no different.Bernard recently attended the kids conservation camp at the Bear Claw

Lodge in the Kispiox Valley, a camp that teaches the attendees how to live off the land, and how to protect the land and its resources.

Bernard attended this camp as the recipient of the ‘I Fight for Life’ fund, which was set up by another local, Burns Lake resident Rachelle van Zanten.

The ‘I Fight for Life’ fund is named after the song that van Zanten wrote, recorded and produced, and is a song in opposition to the Enbridge Northern Gateway pipeline project, and why the project is harmful and not beneficial to the area.

The fund is composed of the money that van Zanten made from the royalties of the song.

Bernard was the winner of this year’s fund, and got to attend the camp be-cause of his application van Zanten says.

“Cole’s application was the great, and he was the perfect recipient for this fund,” van Zanten said, “He is a true child of the Lakes District, spending most of his days revelling in what this area has to offer. He is growing up very tied to the land and has a deep respect for it.”

“His application was very inspiring to read, he was excited to attend the camp and be amongst children who were as passionate about the outdoor life as he is.”

Bernard says his application was about the enjoyment of the Lakes District.“My application was about the land, how you connect with and what you do

and how you can enjoy it and about the different uses for the land in a conser-vation way,” Bernard said.

Camp attendees range in age from 10-15-years-old with the kids being split into age groups over two separate weeks.

Kids age 10-12-years-old attend one camp, this year in July, and kids age 13-15-years-old attend another camp, this year held Aug. 12-19.

The camp in the Kispiox Valley teaches attendees a number of new skills and lessons, including how to fish in the river, how to identify different animal and plant species and how to built a shelter in the woods.

As well, those who attend get to participate in other numerous activities.Bernard said some of his favourite activities included cliff water rescuing,

knot tying, learning how to use maps, horseback riding and a man tracking event.

However, his favourite activity from the camp was fishing.

“I really enjoyed the fishing,” Bernard said, “I was one of the few people that actually caught a spring salmon. The fish I caught was 15 lbs or so, and it was really exciting.”

As well, Cole said he learned a number of things about taking care of the environment, such as not throwing plastic and other harmful material on to a campfire.

Van Zanten says that to see someone as young as Cole take on leadership roles by wanting to attend the camp is a great sign that the land will continue to be preserved.

“A lot of children in this area grow up very tied to the land as it how we are raised here,” van Zanten said, “To see someone as young as Cole taking on leadership roles in land preservation is a sign that we will be okay 40 years down the road.”

Van Zanten also points out that Cole won the best

all around camper at the July camp this year, an-other big accomplishment.

For his part Bernard said that he would abso-lutely attend the camp again next year because the experience was so great.

“The camp was amazing, and was really fun and entertaining, I had a great time,” Bernard said, “The people that ran the camp were great. The way the talked and interacted with us and how they treated us were great, and the activities we got to do were really exciting, fun and educational.”

Bernard has really motivated van Zanten to make sure that she can present this opportunity to another recipient next year and in the years to come, saying that it’s important to have young kids wanting to become stewards for the land.

Another goal is to start a camp of her own.“Without kids like Cole, who will stand up for

the lakes, the land, and every life that depends on them? Without our drinking water, we have nothing left,” van Zanten said, “We are a fish nation and with kids like Cole we will be for years to come.”

The B.C. government has launched a new website to prepare par-ents for a possible con-tinuation of the teacher strike after Labour Day.

The website, bcpar-entinfo.ca, promises the latest bargaining updates on B.C.'s fes-tering teacher dispute, and will act as a portal for parents registering to collect $40 a day for each child under 12 if the strike drags on.

Talks continued un-der a media blackout since mediator Vince Ready met the two sides.

"Mr. Ready agreed to monitor the situa-tion, and to resume ex-ploratory talks or com-mence full mediation when he believes it will be productive," the B.C. Teachers' Federation and B.C. Public School Employers' Association said in a brief statement.

Negotiations broke off and a full-scale strike and lockout end-ed the school year in June.

Education Minister Peter Fassbender and BCPSEA chief nego-tiator Peter Cameron have maintained that the BCTF's benefit de-mands remain far be-yond those of other public sector unions. The BCPSEA's latest offer was rejected by the union and the latest of a series of court ac-tions scheduled for this fall.

Ready's last involve-ment in the long series of teacher disputes was as an industrial inquiry commissioner in 2007.

Squash lessons were held for new players last Wednesday at the Lakeside Multiplex, and will be held again this Wednesday for Burns Lake residents who wish to learn the game and utilize the court at the new multiplex which opened earlier this sum-mer.

The rules of squash are fairly simple and easy to understand.A singles game is played on a court that is 6.4 metres wide and 9.75 metres

in length.There are boundary lines that run along the front, back and side walls of the

court, and they gradually decrease in height as they move towards the back wall of the court from the front wall.

After the serve a rally ensues, where the winner of the rally wins a point.A rally ends if the ball bounces twice, hits the tin, is hit outside of the bound-

ary lines, or touches the boundary lines or there is interference caused resulting in a point to the obstructed player.

In squash, every rally ends in a point, regardless of who served.The next squash lessons begin at 5:30 p.m. and last until 7:30 p.m. on

Wednesday, Aug. 27.


Ootsa Lake Fishing Derby: August 29, 30, 31 and September 1, 2014. 1st prize: $2000. For more information please call 250-694-3658 or 250-694-3377

The event consists of teams of 10 seeing who can pull a 30,000 pound fire truck 50 feet the fastest.

The event is used to help raise money for United Way, which does a lot of work with local and re-gional programming in communities such as Burns Lake.

Up coming entertaining event

Second annual fire truck pull held to raise money for United Way

Lakes district news fiLe photo

The second annual fire truck pull in Burns Lake will be held on Saturday, Sept. 6 at the Lakes District Fall Fair this year. Last year’s event raised just over $1000 for United Way, and the goal this year is to raise $3000. Registration is open until noon on Sept. 5

United Way, a non profit organization relies on donations to help run and support various programs it helps to run.

United Way Northern B.C. covers the area from Quesnel, north to the Yukon boarder and from the Alberta boarder, west to Haida Gwaii.

Their mission is to help Northern B.C. communi-ties stay strong by helping people who are strug-gling to get back on their feet, helping people get healthy and stay healthy and helping kids get the education and opportunities that they deserve.

Last year the event saw four teams enter, includ-ing a team from the Burns Lake Fire Department, and raised over $1000 for United Way.

United Way's goal this year is to raise $3000."United Way as a non profit organization, our

work solely depends on the donations of individu-als by them coming out and helping raise funds through this event they're helping their communi-ty," Ginter said.

To enter a team must raise a minimum of $250 in pledges.

A BBQ prize pack, which includes a portable BBQ and a utensil kid has been presented as a prize.

Any person that raises a minimum of $150 will be entered as well as any team that raises the mini-mum $250.

Participants must be 19-years of age or older.Those who aren't participating can still help

Ginter says."Even if you're not participating in the event, you

can help by donating money because every single dollar counts," Ginter said.

Registration is done online by going to bit.ly/burnslakeftp14 and is open until noon on Friday, Sept. 5, the day before the event is scheduled to oc-cur.

Any further questions can be directed to Ginter by phoning 250-561-1040 or by emailing [email protected]

A change in ownership of a piece of private property along the access road to the Richmond Lake recreation site has caused a portion of the ac-cess road leading into the site to be restricted to the public.

The access road to the Richmond Lake recre-ation site, which is located roughly 30 km East of Burns Lake and approximately 4 km off of Hwy. 16, is located along two pieces of private property, a CN Rail right-of-way line and an additional piece of private land.

The additional piece of private land has changed ownership recently and now users of the recreation site will no longer be allowed to use the existing access road to get into the Richmond Lake recreation site.

The issue of the access road into the recreation site being lo-cated on and near private property has been a long standing issue for Recreation Sites and Trails B.C.

The access road has long been in rough shape.

On the website for Recreation Sites and Trails B.C. it is recommended that users of the Richmond Lake site either hike or quad the final section of the access road, rather than drive in.

For the past 20 plus years there have been attempts to upgrade the access road to make it so users could drive their vehicles in, but a petition in the 1990s, signed by over 30 residence around the area was submitted oppos-ing the upgrade of the road.

"The property owner is well within his rights to restrict access to the ac-cess road," Ben Heemskerk, District Officer for the Nadina-Skeena Recre-ation District of Recreation Sites and Trails B.C., "We will have to work on

finding a solution the best fits the needs of the public."Heemskerk says that the first step for his office in assessing the

best solution is to meet with the community of Burns Lake and the area, the people who use the recreation site the most and get feedback from them.

That is something that will be done this week."I would have to do some surveying and statusing of the land to

see if there is Crown land we can put additional access through, or if there is something we could do with the new private land owner for longer term access, as well," Heemskerk said.

The Richmond Lake recreation site, Heemskerk says is a great site for fishing, and includes a boat launch.

The two solutions that are most likely to occur are either work-ing with the private land owner on an agreement where the cur-rent access road can be upgraded and used, or building a detour around the private land using Crown land.

"It would be nice to have some sort of access there, whether it's hike, quad or drive in, and we have to figure out what the best situation there is whether it's the current location of the road or a new location," Heemskerk said, "We have to explore what those options are, but we're definitely looking for a solution that works for the community and local residents and maintains the character of the recreation site as it's been for the past 20 years."

The solution will also be budget dependent, both for Recre-ation Sites and Trails B.C. and for the Lakes Outdoor Recreation Society, which is a partner and takes care of the day to day main-tenance of a number of recreation sites in the region, including

the Richmond Lake site. "If it's going to be ex-

pensive to build an alter-native access route then we'll have to consider a way to approach it," Heemskerk said, "We have to work with the outdoor recreation soci-ety, too. They do all the on the day to day main-tenance of the recreation sites in the Burns Lake area and they're a fan-tastic partner and we're happy to work with them on this stuff."

The restricted ac-cess to the recreation site was first brought to the attention of the out-door society more than a week ago by users of the site who were told by the owner that they wouldn’t be allowed through in the future

Access to the recreation site at Richmond Lake restricted

Access to the recreation site at Richmond Lake has always been tough sledding. The access road to the site, which runs along private property has been in bad shape for a while, but attempts to upgrade the road has been met with road blocks. Now with change in ownership of private property, part of the access road has been restricted to the public.

WORD SEARCH

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22: Big ideas sweep in this week and leave you with a lot of inspiration, Virgo. Don’t get too lost in fantastical ideas, though. Wait a little bit before finalizing plans.

LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23: Err on the side of caution with regard to spending this week, Libra. You have to save up for a bigger purchase that’s on the hori-zon, so try to save as much as you can now.

SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22: Scorpio, only now do you realize how much you have on your plate. Think about postponing a getaway until your schedule is less packed and you can enjoy the trip even more.

SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21: Sagittarius, turn work into play and things will move along that much more quickly. Split up the tasks at hand with a friend or colleague, and the week will fly by.

CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20: Capricorn, even though you don’t have much time for yourself, you feel compelled to spend more time with others. Make some time for yourself as well.

AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18: Aquarius, you secretly enjoy when others come to you for advice. Think carefully before making any suggestions, and your friends will be more appreciative because of it.

PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20: Now is the time to further your studies, Pisces. Fig-ure out how to finance a return to school and make the most of the opportunity.

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20: Aries, exercise caution when expressing your needs. It can be difficult to stop when you are drumming up so much excitement. Now is not the time to take a risk.

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21: Taurus, you may have overextended yourself this week. You didn’t realize you had taken on so much until it was too late, but there is still time to backtrack.

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21: Gemini, committing to a daily routine can have a strong impact on your overall health. Consider tailoring a new routine for your-self, and you’ll reap the healthy rewards.

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22: Take things slow with a budding relationship this week, Cancer. You don’t want to go too fast and find yourself in over your head. Let things develop gradually.

LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23: Leo, carefully consider any offer that seems too good to be true this week. While the person making the offer is not ill-intentioned, you still must exercise caution.

Mouse ShortcutsYou probably know how to copy and paste using keyboard shortcuts, but did you know there were shortcut functions for your mouse, too? When selecting text, for instance, rather than going to the beginning of a word you can instead hold down the Alt key, click on any part of the word, and then drag your mouse across the remaining text to select full words rather than the individual characters. Or if you don’t like clicking and dragging, left click on the first word you want, hold down shift, and then click on the last word to select a large continuous block. If you just want a few words that are scattered across a large block of text, hold down Ctrl and double click the words you want. Need to make things bigger or smaller on a web page in a hurry? Hold down the Ctrl button and roll your mouse wheel to zoom in or out (Press Ctrl+0 to return to normal zoom). Also on the web, if you want to open a web link in a new tab, instead of right clicking the link and selecting that option, all you have to do is press down on the scroll wheel. Alternatively if you do not have a scroll wheel button, you can hold down Ctrl+Alt and left click on the link to do the same thing. And last of all, a double click will usually select a single word, while a triple click will select an entire paragraph. Happy clicking.
