Jackie Robinson’s career with the [Brook-lyn] Dodgers is without a doubt one of the all-time great sport stories. It’s hard to imagine a world where black ball-players were confined to playing in the so-called Negro Leagues but sure enough, before Robin-son, that’s how it was.

The Pinnacle Pellet plant east of Burns Lake continues to fail to meet provincial stack emission permit re-quirements. But that failure should not immediately be taken to represent a general air quality concern, says the B.C. Ministry of Environment.

The persistent difficulties faced by Pinnacle Pellet in bringing smoke stack emissions to within provincially regu-lated guidelines have been well docu-mented.

Emissions from the two driers at the plant were tested in late February and April, 2013. Emission flow rates and particulate matter concentrations are measured against B.C. ministry of envi-ronment permit levels.

The plant operates two drier units each with its own smoke stack. Samples were taken at both stacks, on two sepa-rate dates, and measured against two separate provincial guidelines.

The first drier unit had mixed results, exceeding particulate matter content by 30 per cent on one test while holding proper flow rates. The second test had particulate emissions below permit lev-els, but at a flow rate that exceeded per-mit levels by approximately 27 per cent.

Elections BC has given approval in principle to marijuana ac-tivist Dana Larsen's bid to lead a petition drive for de-criminaliz-ing marijuana possession.

Larsen has proposed that B.C. go around the federal law with a "Sensible Policing Act" that would disallow the use of B.C. po-lice resources to prosecute simple possession of small amounts of pot by adults. This fall, Larsen will be allowed to begin collecting signatures in an effort to force an initiative vote similar to that used to reverse the harmonized sales tax.

Individuals and groups have until Aug. 12 to register with Elections BC to oppose the initiative, run ads for or against the petition or collect signatures.

Larsen, who was involved with the B.C. Marijuana Party be-fore seeking the leadership of the B.C. NDP in 2011, has worked for the last year to build support for what he calls Sensible BC. His organization will have 90 days from Sept. 9 to collect signa-tures from 10 per cent of registered provincial voters in each of

B.C.'s 85 electoral districts.If that threshold is reached, Elections BC would hold a prov-

ince-wide initiative vote, likely by mail as was done to repeal the HST.

Decriminalizing pot has received mainstream support in recent years, including a narrow majority vote at the 2012 Union of B.C. Municipalities convention.

In a debate at that convention in Victoria last September, former B.C. Liberal attorney general Geoff Plant advocated for loosen-ing marijuana laws, as has since been done in the U.S. states of Washington and Colorado.

The idea was opposed by criminologist Darryl Plecas, who was elected B.C. Liberal MLA for Abbotsford South in the May provincial election.

Larsen has had a colourful career, including editor of Vancou-ver-based <I>Cannabis Culture</I> magazine and co-founder of the Vancouver Seed Bank, which has sold seeds for marijuana, poppies, peyote and coca.

Larsen resigned as an NDP candidate in the 2008 federal elec-tion, after videos surfaced showing his drug use a decade earlier.

Village of Burn Lake councillor Susan Schienbein submitted her resignation from vil-lage council in a letter dated July 2, 2013.

“It is with mixed feel-ings that I tender my resignation as councillor for the Village of Burns Lake effective imme-

diately,” Schienbein wrote.

“I have accepted a job in another community and this will not allow me to finish my term.”

This was Schienbein’s fourth term as village councillor. Her position with the Village of Clin-ton will move her a little closer to her father in the Penticton area.

Village of Burns Lake council will officially receive her resignation at the July 16, 2013 reg-ular meeting of council. According to Village of Burns Lake Chief Administrative Officer Sheryl Worthing, a by-election is not anticipat-ed until early November.

New sign draws instant attention

Walter Strong Photo

Walter Strong

Gwyndolyn Nicho-las, owner of downtown Burns Lake business Health in Order, recently replaced the sign on her building with one that delivers a message.

The new sign, which reads ‘Pure Water. Wild Salmon. No Enbridge pipeline,’ and is embla-zoned with the Lakes District Clean Waters Coalition (LDCWC) logo, has come under scrutiny of the Village of Burns Lake.

On July 10, 2013, Burns Lake by-law en-forcement officer Jim McBride, delivered a notice to Nicholas in-forming her that the sign,

Burns Lake business owner to defend ‘offensive’ sign before permit

hung four days previ-ously, was put up without following required vil-lage procedures for sign permits.

At the same time, Nicholas was also in-formed that two mem-bers of the public had complained that the sign was offensive.

The public complaints automatically triggered a review by the Village of Burns Lake. Nicholas has until Aug. 9, 2013 to respond in writing to the complaint.

Currently, the village has not asked that the sign be removed. It is Nicholas’ understanding that the sign may remain until a final decision is made.

Nicholas said that she wasn’t aware that she needed a permit to re-place her old sign. She will include an applica-tion with her letter of defence.

Nicholas is an active member of the LDCWC and her store acts as a lo-cal hub for information regarding the work of the Northwest Institute for Bioregional Research in Smithers, B.C. Her store also maintains merchan-

Village of Burns Lake council will have to decide on the future of this sign, recently installed by a local business owner to express her concerns over Enbridge Northern Gateway.dise in support of Skeena Wild, a Terrace B.C. based conservation orga-nization.

She said the sign is very much in line with her personal concerns and the concerns of the LDCWC regarding the proximity of the pro-posed Enbridge pipeline to Burns Lake.

Recent plans indicate that the pipeline would cross under the narrows just west of town.

“I’m not comfortable with Enbridge’s response to safety concerns sur-rounding the proximity of the pipeline to Burns Lake,” Nicholas said.

Those concerns, along

with a general dissatis-faction with Enbridge’s performance during the recently concluded En-bridge Northern Gateway Joint Review Panel (JRP) and further concerns that the federal government intends to green-light the pipeline with or without JRP approval, were at the source of her decision to put up the sign.

According to Village of Burns Lake Chief Administrative Officer, Sheryl Worthing, the vil-lage is simply asking the property owner to com-ply with local sign regu-lation by-laws.

The complaints re-ceived by the village

were not anonymous (the village does not accept anonymous complaints), but they will be kept con-fidential.

Worthing confirmed that the final decision will be up to village council. A village staff report will be prepared once the application for a new sign is received.

“Given that we re-ceived a complaint on the sign, we are required to [have a] review,” said Worthing. “The sign ap-plicant will be required to submit a letter of ap-peal. If council deems the sign to be non-offen-sive the sign permit will be approved.”

Premier Christy Clark didn’t win a seat in time to join her 48 fellow B.C. Lib-eral MLAs in the legislature for the summer session she ordered up.

By the time the byelec-tion in Westside-Kelowna is certified by Elections B.C., Clark will be off to Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ont. to meet with her fellow premiers in what is now loftily called the Council of the Federation.

These gatherings used to be called First Ministers’ Conferences, and there was a set ritual, largely designed for the consumption of network television. Provincial pre-miers ganged up on the prime minister to demand federal “funding” for every conceivable need, just as municipal leaders get together each year to present their demands to the B.C. government.

Prime Minister Stephen Harper ended the show, declin-ing to play the role of villain in this bit of political summer

stock theatre, and it’s unlikely that any future national leader would reverse this prudent decision.The result, at least among western premiers, has been a quieter, more pragmatic effort to work together,

rather than clumsy attempts to play a shell game with taxpayers’ pockets.The public got tired of this routine some time ago. I don’t need a poll to tell me this is one of the reasons

for the decline in voter participation and engagement in issues. Today, politicians frequently remind them-selves out loud that there is “only one taxpayer” supporting the squabbling layers of this over-governed country.

And yet, the same mistake keeps being made over and over by opposition politicians, and dutifully reported by the news media. The notion that all problems can and should be solved by “more government funding” is now so engrained in our education system that it seems inescapable.

One of the NDP’s big “gotcha” items last week was the failure of the B.C. government to buy the latest sonar technology to locate and recover the bodies of people who have drowned in one of our thousands of lakes and rivers. As with the health-care system, as soon as something is invented, some assume a right to it, regardless of cost.

Another big opposition target was the province’s failure to buy up remote properties in the Kootenays that have been discovered to be at high risk of further landslides such as the one that swept through a year ago.

The question of limits for protecting people who choose to build homes in risky locations seldom comes up in our political-media theatre. The media’s key ingredients are sympathetic victims to fit their narrative that all corporations and governments are greedy, stingy, callous and incompetent in everything they do.

What the opposition has dubbed “Christy Clark’s wheelchair tax” is another case in point. A Fraser Health Authority official patiently explained what was really going on here.

An average $35 monthly rent for wheelchairs is charged at the majority of care facilities, which are contracted by the health authority. Operators charge as they see fit for maintenance, disinfection and re-placement of this equipment, for patients who don’t own their own chairs.

In September, a $25 fee is to be extended to the few facilities still directly run by Fraser Health, which have aging equipment and no fees. In all facilities, the fee is waived for those who can’t afford it.

It would be useful for our politicians to frankly discuss the trend towards contracted health services, and the role of user fees in forcing people to take more responsibility for maintaining their own health.

But that is not what happens. The narrative of dumping frail, impoverished seniors from their wheel-chairs has no relationship to reality, but it’s how post-modern political theatre is done.

t Editorial

When I first saw the No to Enbridge sign I didn’t give it much thought. To be honest, I wondered why it took so long for a group of concerned locals to express their opposi-tion to Enbridge’s pipe-line proposal in just such a way.

It’s not like these signs are unusual along the proposed pipeline route

through Northern B.C. Last I checked, there was a bit of opposition to the whole idea of piping modified bitumen from Northern Alberta to the West Coast, across or under every stream and river in between.

At this point, seeing an anti-Enbridge sign is as surprising and newsworthy as tree-planters in Burns Lake. It’s part of the landscape up here.

It’s a little Johnny-come-lately when you think about it. The pipeline would run very near Burns Lake. If there was anyplace where you’d expect public concern over Enbridge’s plans, it’s here.

But other than the Burns Lake Band fence, anti-pipeline signage has been non-existent in town.

After the unmitigated horror of the disaster in Quebec that involved the transport of crude oil through Lac-Mégantic, is anybody surprised that local residents and business owners might want to express their concern?

So why is it making headlines?Regardless of why the sign is being challenged by the Village, there is no way for this to play

itself out as anything other than a pro-industry town quashing anti-pipeline sentiment. Percep-tion is usually more relevant than fact and detail.

You can walk into a bar seven nights a week, but don’t say you’re only there for the pop, even if you are. Who would believe you?

It’s not like the Village of Burns Lake needs to be worried about being perceived as anti-pipe-line or anti-industry. Its official position of waiting for the outcome of the Joint Review Panel before expressing an opinion is well known.

The perception of the village’s neutrality on Enbridge will completely evaporate if that sign comes down. Taking it down will draw a lot more attention to anti-pipeline sentiment - and stoke it more - than anything the Lakes Clean Water society could have done.

Bear with me as a I shift gears here for a moment.A long time ago, the city I was born in decided to pass a city council resolution making Eng-

lish the official language of city business.They did this because they didn’t want to be put in a position were they would be forced to

duplicate expensive paperwork through excessive demands for french-language city documents.Nobody was asking the council of the time to produce French versions of all documents. This

was a ‘just in case’ thing. The irony of a city with a French name, founded by French Canadian voyageurs, ‘banning’ french was too rich to resist.

It was national news fodder for a while, and the Tragically Hip wrote a song about it. I don’t know how many times people asked me, once they found out where I was from, “So you’re from that town that banned French?”

Explaining the details just made it all seem more ridiculous. It was just easier to say, ‘Yeah, we banned French,’ and move on to less strange conversation.

If the No to Enbridge sign comes down, get used to saying, ‘Yeah, we’re that pro-Enbridge town.’

The Investment ExpertObjectives can help you accomplish your goals

Do you have a dream lifestyle? Would you like to increase your chances of achieving it? Most people would say yes! Just like a blueprint for building a house, so having a financial blueprint can help you build the future you want. Where to start? First, think about what you want to accomplish, both short- and long-term, these are your objectives. Then, determine your risk tolerance and find appropriate investments that will meet your needs. Taking too much- or too little-risk can mean you won’t be able to reach your goals. Different objectives may require different investments, so make sure you understand what you have and how it works. Your next step would be to develop the financial strategies needed to reach your goals. Be sure to review these on a regular basis with your advisor to ensure you are still on track for financial success. For a free financial con-sultation and 2nd opinion on your investments please call me at 250-847-4686 and I would be very happy to review where you are and make recommendations for a better financial future.

The second drier unit failed particulate mat-ter emission standards on both dates, but came within flow-rate permit requirements on the first test. In one test, the total particulate matter measured at stack two exceeded permit levels by 100 per cent.

But particulate matter concentrations in stack emissions represent only one factor among many that contribute to air quality, or its ab-sence.

According to Mark Love, head of environ-mental management based in Smithers, there is no direct correlation between stack emission test results and human health.

“It’s a combination of emissions plus the specific meteorology of the day that ultimately results in the potential for impact,” Love ex-plained.

“It’s not only the air quality from the stack perspective, but wheth-er the air is moving or the emissions are accu-mulating in any signifi-cant amount.”

The accumulation of particulate matter in the air is measured by the kind of ambient air quality monitor station that has been operating west of the plant in the Sheraton subdivision since April 24, 2013.

Pinnacle Pellet pur-chased the equipment and had it installed as part of a compliance agreement with the ministry of environ-ment.

It continuously mea-sures the level of fine particulate matter in the air (defined as matter 2.5 microns or smaller) downwind of the plant.

“We get a result every 10 minutes,” said Love. “We have not been con-cerned with the concen-trations we have been seeing there and we have not received any complaints.”

Provincially estab-lished standards for fine particulate matter are based on a 24 hour con-centration level.

“That value has never been exceeded at that station, we’re nowhere near that [threshold],” Love said.

Love pointed out that there are no pro-vincial standards for short-term exposure to high emission levels.

For example, there are no standards regarding short-term increase in concentrations of fine particulate matter.

Stack emission per-mit requirements are not based on a health criterion. Permit re-quirements are based on what the province has determined can be realistically attained through the use of the best available air scrub-bing technology.

As such, permit re-quirements are a starting point, but not a guaran-tee of good air quality. It is easy to imagine a scenario where permit requirements are met, but air quality is still ad-versely affected.

“If the meteorology and the topography of an area were such that the air didn’t go any-where - disperse or di-lute - you could have an accumulation of emis-

sions that could exceed some threshold of ac-ceptability,” Love ex-plained.

This means that tak-ing the success or fail-ure of a stack emissions test to directly correlate to air quality is a mis-take.

“There’s little to no relationship [between stack emissions and ambient air quality],” Love said. “It’s a num-ber of factors that could

Improvements expected soonpotentially conspire to give poor air quality, ambient-wise.”

“The emissions of the plant, including those tested on those dates, have not resulted in air quality concerns west of the plant,” Love ex-plained.

Despite Lakes Dis-trict News having re-ceived recent com-plaints regarding air quality concerns asso-ciated with the plant’s stack emissions, Love said that the ministry hasn’t received any public complaints since March 26, 2013.

Pinnacle Pellet and the province continue to work to bring stack emission to within per-mit requirements. Ac-cording to Love, the story of emissions at the plant has been one of continuous improve-ment.

“They have been implementing ongo-ing and continuous im-provements,” Love ex-plained. “We continue to work with them on upgrading [scrubber] works. We are optimis-tic that they will be able to meet requirements.”

Measured stack emissions at the Pinnacle Pellet plant east of Burns Lake continue to show mixed results during quarterly ministry tests. The company is actively working to reduce emissions.

Another week has come around, the older I get the faster they come, or it seems that way. We are hav-ing some nice summer weather and the farm-ers are getting ready to start haying. Some have already started. Really good reports the hay is great. Now they will hope the weather stays good. Now this is the most important part.

Good friendOn Saturday last

we held a celebra-tion of life for the late Jean Stanton (Peebles) at the Francois Lake Hall. Jean had spent the greater part of her life in the Lakes District.

She was lady in every sense of the word. By the number of family and friends in the hall gave us an idea of how much Jean was loved and respected. I had known Jean for over 70 years and she was a good friend.

Scary incidentThis was almost

a lifetime ago. One Sunday afternoon my late wife Jo and I were driving along the main highway beside Tchesinkut Lake and a gale force wind came up in a matter of min-utes and the lake was standing on end.

Jo said let’s stop and watch it, so we did. Jo grabbed my arm and said I see a canoe with two people laying on it and it’s turned over.

She was right and the waves were so high you would lose sight of them.

We were not far from Ruth Lord’s home and I know Cliff Cousins had a big boat so that’s

where we went full bore.

Cliff was having lunch alone so Jo told him what we had seen then he saw these folks in big trouble.

In five minutes Cliff was in the lake heading for them. We watched him pick them up and head for his home.

They were in bad shape as the girl kept slipping off the canoe so Cliff was just in time or else there would be a terrible tragedy.

We did know this couple, they were very grateful that Jo hap-pened.

Moving awayEileen Hewett, a long

time resident of Burns Lake and of the late at the Tweedsmuir House, has now moved to be with her family.

She is not going to have a warmer climate in lower B.C.

Eileen was known for her choir singing of which she took an ac-tive part.

The Tweedsmuir House will miss her pleasant company. All the residents here will miss her big time.

Another good byeI have at hand another

very sad brochure with the passing of Winni-fred Mary Stevens, a loving mother, grand-mother, great grand-mother and friend. Her service was held on Sunday at the United Church.

She was known and loved by so many that had the pleasure of knowing her.

Donna Harrison took the serve. This won-derful lady has left so many pleasant memo-ries as she was such a pleasure to know.

She leaves a very lov-ing family with memo-ries that will never die. What else can we leave behind but memories? They are so precious.

Service in the parkSunday beamed in

loud and clear a great day of an outdoor

church service and there was one held in the Spirit Square, what a wonderful place for an outdoor church ser-vice.

There was a big crowd there to enjoy the service. Lots of good music and singing and a very good message from Pastor Al from the Grassy Plains Gospel Church.

Lunch was also served. What was so important was the fel-lowship through the whole service and this is so important.

I feel in my heart there will be another outdoor service some-time the during sum-mer.

Family reunionRick and Marie Hunt-

er have just returned from a Hunter family reunion at 108 Mile. What a great place for a reunion and a wonder-ful time everyone had right from the oldest to the youngest.

What great memo-

ries to take home. Lots of the other families were also able to join in as well and meet new cousins and have fun.

Black fliesSome of the residents

are mentioning the black flies bothering them. They are nasty little things and can re-ally bite. When I was back on the home place we were really bothered with them and their bite could be dangerous too.

Our daughter Marie had a nice little saddle mare. She was a year-ling at the time.

I happened to notice her standing alone so I knew she was sick, so I went out to catch her. I patted her chest and talked to her.

My hand came away bloody and I saw her best was like a piece of raw meat, the black flies were eating her alive.

I doctored her up and kept her in the barn for a week. She healed up in time.

I mentioned this to Clarence Snyder, an old cowboy friend of mine, and he told me they had lost two young calves with black flies at the same time.

At that time they had range down Tchesinkut Lake and that range was well know for black flies.

One year my dad and Reverend Atchin-son were fishing in the Bulkley River and they got into black flies, they bit Dad up badly and he had to go to Dr. Holmes and he gave Dad some ointment that cleared the bites up.

But he was sure care-ful on his next fishing trip.

Something to think on from uncle Hugh

It’s not near as im-portant how many years a fella has lived as how many other folks have been right glad he has, (an old cowboy saying).

Always remember God loves you and so do I. Have a safe week.

Black flies are something fierce this year

Life Insurance – Protection For Your FamilyYou work hard to look after your family, but what if you are no longer here to do so? Nothing is worse than losing a loved one and it is probably the worst thing a person will ever experience and no amount of money can replace you. However if you have life insurance you will still be able to look after your family so they will be able to live the life you would want for them. It can cover everyday living expenses, send your kids to school, pay off your mortgage, and much more. Since the younger you are the less it costs, consider getting life insurance sooner than later. De-pending on the policy you choose it may only cost dollars per day and premiums do not increase during the term you choose. As to how much you need it really depends on your personal circum-stances. Purchasing life insurance can be an emotional issue so a quali� ed Life Insurance Advisor can help decide how much is right for you and your family.

editor:Weak jobs market for youth is hurting parents,

tooToday’s weak labour market for youth is not only

hurting young Canadians. It’s also taking a finan-cial toll on their middle class parents.

There are still 200,000 fewer jobs for young Ca-nadians than before the recession. According to TD Bank, young Canadians are not only losing out today, they also face lower wages for more than a decade as they try to catch up on missed work ex-perience. A growing number of twenty-somethings are now competing for unpaid internships in an at-tempt to get ahead.

While job prospects for young Canadians have deteriorated, the price of everything from tuition to rent and groceries has gone up. Yet student debt levels have remained relatively constant. So who is picking up the tab?

It’s middle class parents – and in some cases, grandparents – who are stepping in to financially

support their adult children.According to TD, more than half of baby boom

parents have continued to financially support their adult children, even after they leave school. 43% let their adult children live at home rent-free.

Many Canadians were struggling to make ends meet even before their children boomeranged home. Now parents are taking out personal lines of credit and delaying their retirement plans to help their adult children.

Instead of listening to Canadians on this issue, the Harper Conservatives have cut the number of youth jobs in the Canada Summer Jobs Program by more than half, and frozen the skills training budget at 2008 (pre-recession) levels without allowing for either inflation or population growth.

It’s time for the federal government to recognize the depth of the problem, help young Canadians and give their middle class parents a break.

PUBLIC NOTICERECALL AND INITIATIVE ACT

This notice is published pursuant to section 4 of the Recall and Initiative Act.

Approval in principle has been granted on an application for an initiative petition. The petition will be issued to proponent Dana Larsen on Monday, September 9, 2013 and signature sheets must be submitted to the Chief Electoral Officer by Monday, December 9, 2013.

The Title of the Initiative is:An initiative to amend the Police Act.

Summary of Initiative:The initiative draft Bill entitled, “Sensible Policing Act” proposes to amend the Police Act to no longer use provincial police resources on the enforcement of current laws in relation to simple possession and use of cannabis by adults. The draft law would prohibit the use of provincial police resources for this purpose, would require police to report in detail to the Minister of Justice any actual use of resources for this purpose and why it was necessary, and require the Minister to publish that report. The Bill also proposes that the province would call upon the Federal Government to repeal the federal prohibition on cannabis, or give British Columbia an exemption, such that British Columbia is able to tax and regulate cannabis similar to the regulation of alcohol and tobacco. As well it proposes that British Columbia shall establish a Provincial Commission to study the means and requirements necessary for the province to establish a legal and regulated model for the production and use of cannabis by adults. Last, the Bill would make non-lawful possession and use of cannabis by minors an offence similar to possession and use of alcohol.

Opponent Registration:Individuals or organizations who intend to incur expenses as opponents must apply for registration with the Chief Electoral Officer by Monday, August 12, 2013. Registration applications for opponents are available from Elections BC.

Energy Minister Bill Bennett says there are about still 60,000 BC Hydro customers who are still resisting instal-lation of wireless elec-tricity meters, and he wants the utility to of-fer them manual meter readings, for a price.

"What we're contem-plating at this point is that maybe we can de-liver a digital meter that has the radio turned off," Bennett told reporters at the B.C. legislature Thursday. "We just feel that we don't want to

bully people into taking the smart meter if they don't want it."

Modifying the meters for different customers and sending out human meter readers would generate costs that should not be borne by the vast majority of cus-tomers who accepted wireless meters, Ben-nett said.

He offered no esti-mate of the cost, but predicted that more peo-ple will drop their op-position rather than pay for extra service. Ben-nett said he agrees with B.C.'s medical health officer that signals from

wireless meters are not a health hazard, but he doesn't want them forced on people who believe otherwise.

NDP energy critic John Horgan said he is pleased the government has finally agreed with his position that people

should be given another option. But he wants the issue referred to the B.C. Utilities Commis-sion to set the price.

Run for Recovery

Walter Strong

Wendy Brown recent-ly returned from a mar-athon session of daily runs linking Fort St. John, Hudson’s Hope, Chetwynd and Dawson Creek.

The Run for Re-covery through B.C.’s Northeast Peace Region was conceived as a way to raise funds towards a proposed drug and alco-hol rehabilitation centre in Fort St. John.

Brown, a Lake Babine Nation member and Burns Lake resident, has connections to Fort St. John. She wanted to

do something to give back to that community after it rallied in support of Burns Lake follow-ing the explosion at the Babine Forest Products mill in January, 2012.

The mileage for the run was supposed to be 324 kilometres, but after a detour along the old Alaska Highway to avoid heavy road construction, Brown chalked up 350 kilome-tres of running over 12 days.

Running almost 30 kilometres a day for 12 straight days would have been challenging on its own, but her run

had the additional dif-ficulty of unseasonably warm temperatures.

“The hottest it got was 26 degrees Cel-sius when I pulled into Hudson Hope,” Brown recalled. “It was burn-ing hot.”

The final tally is not in yet, but her run raised over $20,000 towards the Fort St. John proj-ect. The five million dollar centre is hoped to have ‘shovels in the ground’ this summer, said Bruce Lantz, the project co-ordinator.

“The Run for Recov-ery was instrumental in raising awareness about

the project throughout the region and beyond,” Lantz said. “We are most grateful to Wendy for taking this on. Her cheerful dedication was amazing to watch as she completed this run, which has never been done before.”

Brown was away for the month of June in preparation for the run, the 12 days of the run itself, and fundraising events during and af-terwards. Residents and communities across the region showed strong support for Brown’s cause.

Local mayors, the re-gion’s member of par-liament, Bob Zimmer, local fire departments, students, and other well-wishers joined Brown at different stops along the way.

After two weeks of celebrity-like atten-tion from local media, fire brigade escorts into towns, and a sup-port RV for her evening stay-overs where ever her daily run ended, Brown is adjusting to being back in Burns Lake.

“Last night it really hit me,” Brown said. “ I can’t believe that I did it. If they were to ask me to do it again, I most definitely would.”

After a week of rest, she’s back out on the roads around Burns Lake in preparation for whatever her next proj-ect might be.

Doc HollywooD

JoHn Patrick

Jackie Robinson's career with the [Brooklyn] Dodgers is without a doubt one of the all-time great sport stories. It's hard to imagine a world where black ballplayers were confined to playing in the so-called Negro Leagues but sure enough, before Robinson, that's how it was.

Before the civil rights move-ment picked up steam in the sixties, Robinson was already breaking down colour barriers. It's surpris-ing that it's taken this long for Hol-lywood to step up to the plate and give Robinson the big Hollywood biopic he deserves (although it's worth remembering that Robinson actually played himself in the low-budget 1950 movie, The Jackie Robinson Story).

The movie, 42, recaptures not

just Robinson’s achievement but the brutal obstacles he faced, both physical and psychological, not to mention verbal to a disgusting degree.

In telling Robinson’s story, di-rector Brian Helgeland doesn’t dwell on the endless barrage of racist bile that Robinson (and his wife) endured, but he doesn’t shy from it either. As a result, Robin-son’s achievement takes on more meaning and more power.

This is your typical big Holly-wood biopic, which is obviously far more interested in the legend and mystique of Jackie Robinson than the man himself. This is the kind of sports movie that's packed to the brim with slow-motion shots of Robinson waving to the crowd, children watching him adoringly from the stands, and low-angle shots of Robinson look-ing thoughtful and heroic.

Helgeland also wisely divides his focus between Robinson (played with charismatic restraint by Chadwick Boseman), Rachel Robinson (Nicole Beharie) and Branch Rickey, played by Har-rison Ford, who gets more screen time than he actually should.

Nothing against the man, who truly was a hero for integrating baseball, but the fact is Rickey's story is much less interesting than Robinson's. Likely, the focus on Rickey is due to the fact that Har-rison Ford is playing him, which is also a problem. I love Ford (as I'm sure we all do) but in this case his own legendary stature works against him.

Ford is one of those guys like Clint Eastwood or John Wayne, in that he's such an iconic presence that it's tough to accept him as Rickey, with his corny grin, ultra-fake eyebrows, and affected voice.

Active Hauling on the

Mackenzie RoadUsers of the Mackenzie Road system are advised to use caution when on these roads due to current hauling activity. Hauling is likely to continue throughout the month of July.

Users are reminded that these are radio-assisted roads, and extreme caution should be used if travelling without a radio.

In addition, we advise against cutting firewood along any main roads during this time.

British Columbia showed strong and stable growth with a gain of 8,900 jobs last month and a drop in the overall unemployment rate to 6.3 per cent. The province gained 21,600 full-time jobs. This was offset by the loss of 12,700 part-time jobs.

The overall unemployment rate fell throughout the province by 0.5 percentage points over last month. Over the last year, unemployment rates fell in a number of cities as well Prince George falling to 3.8 per cent.

The Nechako saw an increase of 1,500. The un-employment rate in the North Coast and Nechako now is sitting at 6.7 per cent, down considerably from 12.2 per cent one year ago. Employment among youth increased in June by 6,600 jobs com-pared to last month, and the youth unemployment rate fell to 11.2 per cent.

The B.C. government will incorporate lessons from the Lac Megantic rail disaster in its own effort to develop “world class” land-based oil spill protection, Envi-ronment Minister Mary Polak says.

Polak said Monday that while rail traffic is regulated by the federal government, the prov-ince’s target for pro-posed oil pipeline safety have led to discussion with Ottawa and rail-way operators.

The runaway train that destroyed part of Lac Megantic, Quebec in a huge explosion and

fire Saturday night was carrying light crude from shale oil deposits in North Dakota to a refinery in New Bruns-wick. The oil industry across North America has increasingly looked to rail and barge trans-portation of crude as pipeline expansion has fallen behind increasing production.

“Whenever we see an event like this, our main concern is to learn from it and do everything we can to ensure that noth-ing like this would ever happen again,” Polak said. “So we will be watching the federal in-vestigation very close-ly.”

New Mac Malware Internet security company F-Secure has reported a new spoofing technique that may allow malicious software applications to masquerade as harmless document files. The spoof exploits an option in the OS X Character Viewer to allow someone to change the extension of a file so it appears to be something it is not, like an Adobe PDF document. Ordinarily this would not be too much trouble if Apple’s Gatekeeper function is set to only allow applications from the App Store or approved developers to run. However some of the files recently identified have been signed with Apple developer IDs. Once Apple discovers that a developer ID has signed malware, they will usually revoke the ID & Gatekeeper will stop the spoofed application if you try to open it. However, if you are still concerned about these spoofed apps, you can always go into your Security & Privacy settings and configure Gatekeeper to allow only applications from the App Store to run without authorization. This will cause Gatekeeper to prompt you if you attempt to run any 3rd party software, intentionally or otherwise.

JURGEN WALTERPOSSELT

~ Lived a good Life ~Apr. 18, 1954 - Feb. 11, 2013

Jurgen Walter Posselt, the old-est of three brothers was born April 18, 1954 in Ahlen, Ger-many to Irmegard and Walter Posselt. When he was 16, the entire family made the sea journey to Canada from Ger-many in the fall of 1970, even-tually settling at the scenic Home Creek Ranch in Ches-latta. Here, Jurgen fell in love with the rivers, mountains, and wild fl owers that we see so of-ten in his art. Graduating from LDSS High School, he pur-sued his dream of becoming an artist, attending art school in Toronto, as well as UBC in Vancouver. Always free spirit, Jurgen adventured across the US in a VW van, drove Taxi cab in Vancouver, and made many sacrifi ces in order to fund art supplies during his im-mensely creative years of 1979-1982. In the summer of 1983 Jurgen returned to the Southside, and married his wife Beate. Together, they raised three children, Peter, Hanna, and Wolf. With the kids grown, Jurgen travelled the world, continued to paint, and drive truck. After his acci-dent in 2005, he made the move to Prince George. De-spite his struggle, Jurgen still had a smile for everyone. His ability to talk remained unaf-fected, and he would claim to be a “Square-head survivor” to his very last day. He will be al-ways be remembered and missed by his family and friends.A celebration of his life will be held on Saturday August 3rd, at 1 p.m. at the Alcan Spillway campground, on the South-side.

Membership to the Royal Ca-nadian Legion is open to eve-ryone! Just believe in our prin-ciples and objects. When the Legion was fi rst formed, mem-bership was restricted to Vete-rans only. The Ladies Auxiliary followed, not as members of the Legion, but strictly as Aux-iliary. As time passed, the rules changed and those that were “related” to a Veteran were allowed to join the Le-gion as Associate members with the same voting rights and privileges as Veterans. More time passed and a lot of the Veterans of WWI and WWII were passing away. Membership was dwindling and then the Legion opened the doors to everyone. You no longer have to have associa-tion with a Veteran to be a Le-gion member. Just believe in our objects and principles. Non Canadians can also join the Legion, but do have any voting rights within the Legion, nor can they hold offi ce. Mem-bership dues are set by each Branch. The Burns Lake Branch #50 membership dues are currently $44.00 per year. $34.11 of that goes to Domin-ion Command, BC/Yukon Command and Central BC Zone, leaving $9.89 for the Branch.
