The Burns Lake Mountain Bik-ing Association (BLMBA) is dealing with a few interesting developments concerning their bike park located on Burns Lake Community Forest (BLComfor) land in the Regional Dis-trict of Bulkley-Nechako (RDBN).

A request to the regional district for a permissive tax exemption the not-for-profit BLMBA was expecting to be granted has recently been denied leav-ing the association about $800 in the hole concerning their 2015 budget. In addition to losing the tax exemption, the land the bike park is on may change hands from the regional district to the Village of Burns Lake.

Guy Epkens-Shaffer, President of the BLMBA, said the rejection of their $800 tax exemption application ini-tially came as a surprise to the associa-tion and leaves the volunteer group in a search for funding alternatives. He said they were advised by members of vil-lage council they would be granted a tax exemption if they applied for one.

Epkens-Shaffer said he and RDBN chair Bill Miller had a good conversa-tion about the situation after the deci-sion and knows the region has bigger concerns than granting the BLMBA a tax exemption. He said they have been paying their taxes on the 160-acre bike park since they began leasing the land from the Burns Lake Community For-est seven or eight years ago and they are trying to eliminate some of their overhead because they are weak finan-cially and depend on the community to keep them afloat.

BACK TO SCHOOLTehya O’Meara hit the monkey bars at recess on her first day back to school on Monday after three extra weeks of summer vacation because of the teacher’s strike. B.C. teachers voted strongly in favour of ending their strike and returning to work. B.C. Teachers’ Federation members voted 86 per cent in favour of a six-year agreement negotiated with the help of mediator Vince Ready last week. About three out of four of the province’s 40,000 teachers voted. Most school districts reopened Monday, and the ministry has notified superintendents that the school year will not be extended to make up the days lost to the strike. The finance ministry is preparing to send out compensation of $40 per lost student day to parents of students up to age 12.

Coming through one of the most expensive forest fire seasons in the province's history, the B.C. govern-ment is being asked to renew its fund for local governments to create safe zones around their communities.

A resolution to extend wildfire pre-vention funding tops the list for the Union of B.C. Municipalities conven-tion, set for Sept. 22-26 in Whistler. It was sponsored by the Okanagan-Si-milkameen Regional District, where fire crews are battling the latest major forest fire near Princeton.

The province's wildfire prevention fund was established 10 years ago in the wake of the damaging 2003 fire season, with $37 million for a cost-sharing program. Another $25 mil-lion was provided in 2011 and that

money has all been committed for lo-cal forest fuel management projects.

The B.C. government estimates it will spend $350 million on wildfire control by the end of this season. That was exceeded in 2003 and in 2009, the most costly season for the prov-ince with $382 million spent.

The Chelaslie River wildfire re-mains a wildfire of note according to the B.C. Wildfire Management Branch. As of Sept. 22, the fire is es-timated to be 133,100 hectares in size and 75 per cent contained. This is un-changed from a Sept. 12 update.

The China Nose wildfire that is burning 15-km southeast of Houston in no longer deemed a wildfire of note and the Sept. 1 update stating it to be 3450 hectares in size and 75 per cent contained is the last one that will be issued on it.

Forest fire help tops communities’ wish list

Rio Tinto Alcan executives and two pioneer retirees who joined the company in 1954 cut the ceremonial cake. In 1954 Rio Tinto Alcan began operating its Kitimat aluminium smelter and Kemano power operations after embarking on what was then the largest engineering and construction project ever undertaken by private enterprise in Canada. With a historic peak annual capacity of 282,000 tonnes of aluminium per year, the Kitimat smelter was one of B.C.’s largest industrial facilities and it required infrastructure that to this day is among the most impressive of their kind in the world. The Kemano power station, which provides clean and renewable hydro power to the smelter, is fed by a 16-km power tunnel deep beneath the Coastal Mountains. After 60 years in operation, the Kitimat smelter operation is at the brink of a new era. It is currently undergoing a major modernization project, which is once again one of B.C.’s largest current private investments. The project will increase aluminium production capacity by 48 per cent to approximately 420,000 tonnes per year while reducing overall environmental emissions by nearly 50 per cent.

The Industrial Park upkeep drew some criti-cism at the most recent Village of Burns Lake council meeting.

At the Sept. 16 meet-ing industrial park busi-ness owner Kathy Wa-ters approached council to voice her displeasure with the current state of the park. Waters said at council that the park has a rundown welcome sign that is in need of repair and an incom-ing road that is clogged with potholes during the winter months.

Waters said she has a heavy duty mechanics shop in the industrial park and is planning on opening a small car lot as well. She said the beau-tification projects village staff have completed in Burns Lake are great, but

the park is an important sector of the village and needs to garner some at-tention as well.

A few days later Burns Lake Mayor Luke Strimbold said council has added pos-sible improvements to the industrial park sign and roadway to their 2015 budget conversa-tion. He said village

staff and affected busi-ness operators now need to sit down and have a discussion about what needs to be done to make the park more successful.

Strimbold said the process to make chang-es to the park is inter-esting considering the sign is on Ministry of Transportation land, the

structure of the sign be-longs to the village and they are in charge of maintaining or upgrad-ing it and then the in-dividual businesses are responsible for putting their own advertising on the structure. He said the upkeep of Roumieu Drive, the roadway leading into the park, is solely village responsi-

Industrial park in need of revitalizationNothing can be done until 2015 fiscal year

bility."When we did the

re-pavement through Burns Lake, the down-town revitalization, we actually took the old asphalt and reused it," said Strimbold. "We put it on resurfacing Roumieu Drive, a por-tion of Roumieu Drive, because of the condi-tion it was in…so that's where we've seen a re-duction in potholes and of course we want to keep it maintained."

Strimbold said coun-cil is committed to hav-ing a conversation dur-ing the budget process about determining the best moves available to promote business invest-ment and to maintain businesses in this com-munity. He said they will look at what some of the ideas are around industrial development and industrial business, but nothing can be done financially to improve the current situation un-til the next year.

"We've allocated our budget entirely for 2014," he said. "If something was to take place it would [be] in the 2015 fiscal year."

Jamie Harkins PHoto

Industrial park business owner is unhappy with the signage. Improvements to the industrial park entrance sign has been added to the village’s 2015 budget conversation.

There are many ex-amples of outstanding individuals and groups bettering themselves and others in this commu-nity.

Joel West is one of these many people who has found a new life for himself through music and is using his talent to help his fellow man.

You can read about Joel on page 14 in this edition of the Lakes District News.

Music has been a healing part of people’s lives since the beginning.

Plato spoke of music influencing the character of an individual while Aristotle claimed song as a power that cleanses people’s emotions.

The biblical story of David states he played the harp to rid King Saul of a bad spirit.

At the end of the first and second world wars musicians performed for wounded soldiers at United Kingdom hospitals to take their mind off the physical and mental trauma they had just endured.

The song John Henry came from the true story of a man versus a machine that occurred during the building of the Eastern railroads in the late 1800s.

It could be used to protest the Enbridge pipeline here in town and also lift up the spirits of those in the fight against it like it helped the people in opposition to the railroad.

When people sing for justice and equality a rendition of We Shall Overcome is heard. The political protest song was originally a Baptist hymn before being brought into the

labour movement in the 1930s and popularized among civil rights workers in the 1950s.In 1963 Joan Baez led a crowd of 300,000 in singing We Shall Overcome at the Lincoln

Memorial during the civil rights March on Washington.Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. recited the words from We Shall Overcome in his final sermon

delivered in Memphis on March 31, 1968.Chereen Patrick told me in an interview last week that one of the most memorable mo-

ments she experienced at the ‘Am I Next’ rally she attended on Sept. 14 in Prince George was when the participants gathered together to drum and sing the woman’s warrior song.

You can also read more about Chereen and the ‘Am I Next’ movement on page 8 in this edition of the Lakes District News.

And on a much lighter note, I remember hearing about a report of a man waking from a coma when someone put on a Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers album.

I have no idea if this is true or not, but since Tom Petty rules I have to assume it is.The thing I’m trying to get at here is there should be more music in our lives. Everyone should pick up a guitar or sit at a piano or bang some drums or blow a horn and

maybe we’ll all be happier and enjoy a better society for it.Chereen’s dream is to live in a society where women going missing along the Highway of

Tears is not the norm.She indicated the Sisters in Spirit will try and raise awareness about the need for change in

a rally here in Burns Lake early next month.I hope to hear the woman’s warrior song at this rally.Joel’s dream is to record his first album and he’s well on his way. He left the interview I conducted with him last Wednesday with a pledge that he’ll con-

tinue to work on making his dream come true.

This November, voters will be hiring local politicians for a four-year term, rather than three.

It’s a good time to ask some tough questions about the performance of councils on the job they are assigned to do, as opposed to posturing about senior government matters.

Remember when it was fashionable for city councils to declare

their communities “a nuclear weapons-free zone”? You can still see the signs entering Vancouver and Nanaimo. Alert voters may wonder: “Did they really think we’re that stupid?” Yes, they did. And some of them still do.

To illustrate, allow me to introduce my poster child for bad local government, Victoria city councillor Ben Isitt.

A long-time NDP activist, Isitt got elected three years ago after raising his name recognition with a

couple of runs for mayor. His rookie term has been notable for a series of stunts that extend his career as a professional student, campus radical and occasional history lecturer.

One of Isitt’s big studies is the influence of Soviet communism on the B.C. NDP. He was on one of his visits to Russia earlier this year when President Vladimir Putin was having his way with Crimea.

Isitt’s fondness for state control was on display last fall when aboriginal protesters disrupted natural gas drilling in New Brunswick, torching several police vehicles in the process.

Isitt took to his Facebook page to decry the federal government’s use of police against the population, and suggested Canada should emulate Venezuela, where petroleum resources benefit the people rather than corporations.

Venezuela sells gasoline for nine cents a gallon, the late Hugo Chavez’s gift to his people after nationalizing the oil industry. The capital, Caracas, is famous for extreme poverty, brutally suppressed riots, and a crime rate so bad it ranks among the world’s most dangerous cities.

How does Isitt’s political outlook translate to his role in local government?This week local politicians gather in Whistler for the annual Union of B.C. Municipalities

convention. One of Isitt’s first contributions a couple of years ago was at a UBCM workshop on how to finance local infrastructure.

Isitt proposed setting up a municipal income tax. Presumably this would be on top of property taxes.

In its wisdom, Victoria council appointed Isitt as their Capital Regional District representative. In that capacity he led the charge against Canada Post’s decision to wind up door-to-door delivery for the minority of people who aren’t already using community mailboxes.

After instructing Ottawa to accelerate the bankruptcy of this Crown corporation, Isitt began ordering the province to intervene in a dispute over Grace Islet, a rocky point off Salt Spring Island where an Alberta man is trying to build a retirement home. The dispute centres on aboriginal burial grounds and artifacts, and Isitt appointed himself advocate for the grievances of native people.

When the B.C. government didn’t follow his instructions, he demanded that the CRD expropriate the land and evict the owner. Island politics being what it is, this was actually considered before cooler heads prevailed.

And how are things with the CRD’s real job while the Isitt circus rolls on? The most over-governed region in B.C. remains locked in a bitter turf war over a federally mandated sewage treatment project, and is on the verge of forfeiting hundreds of millions in provincial funds.

So voters should ask themselves a couple of questions this November. Is your council doing the job it was hired to do? And do you trust these individuals with your wallet until the fall of 2018?

Staff with the B.C. Ministry of Environment (MOE) have con-cluded an oily sheen spotted in a creek near the Decker Lake For-est Products sawmill earlier this summer is a natural occurrence.

As first reported in the Sept. 3 edition of the Lakes District News, environment staff took a look at the creek by the Maxan Road bridge directly south of the log yard on Aug. 23. From the observations and photos taken of the sheen, staff initially believed it may be runoff from the log yard and it looked similar to puddles seen around saw dust piles.

Environment staff noted the yard is only 25 metres from the En-dako River and the findings were presented to the MOE compli-ance group for follow-up to determine if the oil poses any risk to fish in the stream.

Last week MOE staff revealed they first noticed an oily sheen in the creek on July 25 while following up on a reported. Upon inves-tigation of the late July observance, staff determined the oily sheen appeared to be a natural biological occurrence common when high iron and high manganese are present in slow wet water environ-ments.

"The sheen was not associated with the spill incident in July [train derailment] as no product moved through the culvert," stat-ed officials with the Ministry of Environment. "The culvert was crushed and water was stagnant at the time of the occurrence."

A conservation officer then visited the site again on Aug. 23 in response to another still report and took pictures of the sheen, which they forwarded on to staff present at the July 25 investiga-tion. It was then confirmed the August sheen appeared to be the same thing that occurred in July.

Officials with the MOE have concluded no further action is re-quired at this time.

This scam is operated by fraudsters claiming to be a family member or a close friend of a family member and advising the potential victim about an urgent situation that requires immedi-ate funds.

Common themes have been that the family member was ar-rested or got into an accident while traveling abroad. Thus fees are required for hospital expenses, or bail.

Since 2009, the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre has received 17,132 emergency scam complaints were received accounting for more than 24 million dollars in reported losses. The average loss per victim was $3,743.07.

Of the 17,132 complaints there were 11,889 emergency scam occurrences reported by Canadians.

How to protect yourself? Confirm with other relatives the whereabouts of the family member or friend.

Police, judges or legal entities will never request that money be sent through money service business such as Western Union, MoneyGram.

Never voluntarily give out family members names or infor-mation to unknown callers.

Always question urgent requests for money.Please consult the following website for more details: http://

Family emergency scam

What a pleasant time our family had last week with my granddaughter Dr. Aryn Khan, her hus-band Reza and their pret-ty wee daughter Lauren. They live in Edmonton, a long drive. They stayed with Aryn’s parents Rick and Marie Hunter here at the landing. Although the time was short the family made the best of it and had a good time. Little Lauren Marie is at the busy age and keeps everyone busy but she is lots of fun.

Home visitVisited our old home

last week and it always gives me a lonesome feeling. The house is quiet. I was looking for some old Saskatchewan

pictures and as luck would have it they were all in one place.

They bring back lots of memories, some good and some not so good. I took these pictures back to the homecoming now many years ago. They are so very clear. I also found a book my brother Peter had made up. It’s called Memoirs of Peter Hutchinson Neave Sas-katchewan 1928 to 1941 and his picture on the front.

He and his wife did a wonderful job of making this book up. I started to read it last night but it made me so homesick I had to stop. So many memories. Dad never gave me a second name just Hugh is all. The doc-tor told dad and mother he will not live out the year he is so small and weak but I guess I sure fooled them. Dad used to tell me that every morn-ing they would look in my basket to check if I was still alive.

FrostOur first frost of the

year was a bad one so many folks lost their gardens. Gardens are so important to the aver-age family makes such a difference to their liv-ing, cost wise too. Plus the work that goes into a garden. This frost came a week or so a bit on the early side.

Our family had really good gardens too. Home grown gardens even taste better than the store bought produce. And no doubt for your health as well. My late wife Jo loved to garden and she always had a good one. We always used to say she had a green thumb. Things just seemed to grow for her.

Starving horsesIn our last paper there

was a picture of two starving horses and a story about the other birds and animals that are also starving. Thank heavens it’s being looked into. I have had a couple of starving horse stories. They are very sad but they did turn out in the end. I had a friend up

Colleymount way and he wanted to borrow a horse to make up a team to get in some wood so I lent him a pretty bay mare. A good true horse. Lent him her harness too. Time went by and my horse didn’t come home so I was concerned so I drove up to his place and could not find horse or man.

This was in the late fall and lots of snow. I had to get that mare back home. I was getting ready to go up and find her. A friend of mine who knew the guy said your mare is walking down the Col-leymount road and she is so poor she can’t walk too well.

So I thanked him very much and I took off. I met her where my friend said and from a pretty slick mare she was just a shadow of a horse. I was just sick to think what had happened to her. I got her into the barn and fed her very often small por-tions for a week, day and night. She picked up in time. This was my fault

to lend her, never again would I do that. I located the guy I had lent her to and we had it out. He said he was to ashamed to bring her back, a very poor reason. That’s one time I lost my cool and a good reason too.

This is another little story about a starving horse. This was in Janu-ary heavy snow and cold. I was driving on the east Francois road and as I passed the buildings I saw a sight I won’t for-get. I happened to notice a little buckskin mare standing alone, this was at the old J.P. Ranch now many years ago.

She was in terrible condition so I found the owner and asked him what goes on so he said folks in town owned this horse and were to pay for her board and they had no money to buy the feed. I said to him how much do they have on her, $35, so I said get me a bill of sale here is $35 and she is mine. He gave me a bill of sale for the amount and I told Fred

what I thought of him. I got her home and again I had to baby her for al-most a month but she came through.

The little mare had been abused about the head it was a week be-fore I could handle her and sorry to say I never had a chance to ride her.

Terry FoxThe Terry Fox run for

cancer was last Sunday and as per usual it was a day to be remembered. It all went off just as it should. Even the weather was great. The generos-ity was out of this world right from the heart, $13,400 what a boost for the cancer fund. There were 350 persons in all who gave so much of their time and money. It’s times like this that make us feel proud to live in the Lakes District. It’s folks like you that some day cancer will be beaten with your generous do-nations. Hats off to all those who put this won-derful day all together you are great. Yes I had a bout of cancer now many

years ago and thanks to our cancer society I was cured. It’s all behind me now and again a big thank you.

You gave me a new life as I am on my 92 year and as I look back it’s been a good life even if I were to lose it tomor-row. I must not forget the entertainment that was also just great. It just made up such a day to be remembered. An after thought as I under-stand it was bigger than last year. This is the first run for cancer that I have ever missed and I really missed it. Our Lakes Dis-trict has talent and big time. Makes us all proud of you and to be a part of it.

A thought for the dayDreams are never de-

stroyed by circumstanc-es. 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.

Always remember God loves you and so do I.

BIKE from t P1

“We have a bike camp that takes place every May and June,” he said about the ways the group raises money apart from membership fees. The second fund-raiser for the BLMBA is the Big Pig.

“This year our Big Pig got postponed for a little over a month because of the fires that were going on in the area about a month ago. Who knows how much we’re going to take in there. This is all new territory for us because we’re pretty consistent over the years when it’s in August.”

Burns Lake Mayor Luke Strimbold said the reason why the group failed in their bid for a tax exemption is because some directors at RDBN are not keen on providing tax exemptions to not-for-profit organiza-tions. He said the village’s attempt to transfer the community forest land from the regional district to village control is not in light of the tax exemption being denied, but because the village is the shareholder for the Burns Lake Community Forest and would like to extend their boundaries to include this property within the municipality.

“There is quite a thorough process for boundary expansion,” said Strimbold, noting the idea is in the initial stage right now. “There is a community consultation that has to take place and what we’re thinking right now at this point is let’s engage in an initial conversation [and] let’s see what the in-terests are. Some of our council and staff will need to do some work of what are the pros and cons if we take it on [and] what are some of the additional responsibilities or requirements that we may have to carry out.”

Strimbold said the municipal leaders are looking for opportunities to extend the village boundaries for both economic purposes and a better working relationship with the organizations that stage ac-tivities on community forest land. He said if this land is within village boundaries they could form partnerships with these groups and then look at whether they could provide a tax exemption or ad-ditional supports.

“We as a council would make sure that [expan-sion] is not an expense,” he said about whether there could be a cost to taxpayers if the land is transferred. “At the end of the day we’re not want-ing to take land on that is going to cost us money. We would look at things that would be a benefit to our community both through whether it’s a service or whether it’s economic development that would then benefit our community.”

Epkens-Shaffer said BLMBA will be paying the tax in 2015 and has no plans to ask BLComfor to help them cover it. He said they are presently look-ing at other ways to make up the amount the tax exemption would have covered.

The Village of Burns Lake council is mulling its options about what to do with the Balmoral Plaza parking lot and the intersec-tion of Hwy. 16 and Francois Lake Drive.

Randy Hamp, owner of Balmoral Plaza, approached council as a delegation Sept. 2 to explain there is an issue with excess through-traffic using his parking lot as a means to turn left onto

Hwy. 16. He stated this has caused damage to his lot.Council then suggested it would be safer to reopen the inter-

section of Hwy. 16 and Francois Lake Drive to left turns because the traffic in the parking lot is very dangerous. It has been noted that repairs to the parking lot to fix the damage is estimated to be $50,000.

An option to install more green space in the parking lot to calm the traffic within it was discussed by council. They also suggest-ed that the railway crossing could be closed.

When council asked how much of the repairs the village was being asked to pay for, Hamp clarified that the merchants had discussed 25 per cent.

Chereen Patrick ad-mits it is difficult for her to attend rallies that bring together people affected by violence against Indigenous women, but a Sept. 14 gathering in Prince George demanding the federal government call a public inquiry into missing and murdered

‘Am I Next’ activist calls for public inquiry about missing women

Local woman raises awareness about missing women

Aboriginal women was too important to miss.

"I feel that I am in that category of being an Aboriginal young woman," said Patrick, who attended the Am I Next (AIN) rally out-side the Prince George law courts along with around 50 other con-cerned participants. "It's scary in a sense that this has become a norm in society and that no real actions have been made to address all the missing indigenous [or] just missing women."

Patrick, a commu-nity health representa-tive for the Burns Lake Band, knows the pain of losing someone first-hand to the Highway of Tears. Her cousin, 16-year-old Ramona Wilson, disappeared in 1994 from her home-town of Smithers. She was found dead 10 months later and her killer has yet to be brought to justice for the crime.

Ramona is one of the 1181 police recorded incidents of murdered or missing Aborigi-nal women across all police jurisdictions in Canada between 1980 and 2012 that was documented in a recent

RCMP-led study into the occurrences. An online petition created by Holly Jarrett, whose 26-year-old cousin Loretta Saunders was found murdered in New Brunswick this past February, that demands the federal government call a public inquiry into the hundreds of cases of missing and murdered Aboriginal women in Canada has gained 324,077 supporters at its www.change.org site since March, but the government continues to refuse to call an in-quiry.

To put more pressure on national leaders Jar-rett started the Am I Next online social me-dia campaign earlier this month. Am I Next, whose acronym is a term of endearment in Inuktitut, asks support-ers to take selfies of themselves with a sign reading "Am I Next?" and post the pictures on Jarrett's public Face-book site or her twitter account at @HollyFor-Change.

Patrick held one of these signs outside the Prince George law courts along with the many other friends and family of victims of vi-

olence against women. Her husband Ron and young boys Kastin, 7, and Ryder, 15 months, accompanied her to pro-vide support.

"It's always hard for me to go to these because it just really brings the reality that each [murdered or missing] woman could have been a mother, a daughter, a niece [or] a granddaughter," said Patrick. "They were somebody's treasure in their life [who] was their pride and joy. To humanize that [at a ral-ly] and have that reality touch on what it's like to have someone you love and treasure to all of a sudden be gone or miss-ing without justice [or] some closure is a very uneasy feeling."

Patrick said her job at the band office located alongside Hwy. 16 re-minds her everyday of the many lives it has taken. She said the re-cent conviction of Fort St. James serial killer Cody Legebokoff of four counts of murder against women helps bring her some hope that there will be justice for the victims, but also fills her with envy of the families who have

closure to the murder of their loved ones.

Without any justice for the murder of her cousin Ramona, Pat-rick attends these rallies to help her heal and to stand up and speak for the women who aren't there. She said the sup-port the women receive from each other helps them know they are not suffering alone.

"One of the things that we did that was re-ally awesome was we were drumming and we sang the woman's war-rior song," she said. "I thought it was really powerful and to be at that building then was awesome."

On Oct. 4 Patrick is hosting a Sisters in Spirit rally in Burns Lake to raise aware-ness about the plight of missing and murdered Aboriginal women and to bring families to-gether who have been affected by these inci-dents to support each other. She said the de-tails of the rally are still being planned out, but the goal would be to help people understand what is really happen-ing on the highway that runs right through our village.

Advocates of a public inquiry into missing and murdered Aboriginal women hold a ‘Am I Next’ rally Sept. 14 outside the Prince George law courts.

After losing in court and before the B.C. Utilities Commission, a citizens' group opposed to wireless electrical meters has been denied a hearing before the B.C. Human Rights Tribunal.

The complaint was brought by a group called Citizens for Safe Technology Society (CSTS), which argued that "electrohypersensi-tivity" (EHS) is a disability. "I have concluded that there is no reasonable prospect that the complainants will be able to establish that the electromagnetic frequency (EMF) exposure resulting from smart meters results in adverse health consequences," wrote tribunal member Norman Trer-ise in the decision not to hold a full hearing.

CSTS submitted that they don't have to prove this sensitivity exists, because the human rights tribunal has accepted "subjective self-reporting of symp-toms" in a previous human rights case involving a Lower Mainland bus driver.

CSTS also cited a Prince Edward Island Court of Appeal decision that stated "a person may be ill even though there is little or no objective evidence to prove it."

BC Hydro said a series of doctors' notes supplied by the complainants don't prove the condition is real, because they appear to be based "entirely on the self-diagnosis of the individual complainants."

BC Hydro has argued that the exposure from periodic wireless meter signals to send electricity consumption data to collection stations is similar to expo-sure to radio station signals.

BC Hydro said the Human Rights Tribunal doesn't have jurisdiction over the wireless grid project, and the B.C. Utilities Commission does. The B.C. gov-ernment's 2010 Clean Energy Act mandated the wireless grid upgrade, and ex-empted it from review by the BCUC.

But in 2013 the BCUC reviewed the wireless grid project by FortisBC in the Okanagan and Koote-nay region, and rejected CSTS submissions that the technology was a health hazard.

CSTS argued that BC Hydro's offer to relo-cate the wireless meter to another part of the property was not suffi-cient relief, and charg-ing meter reading fees to those who want to keep their mechanical meter or have a digital meter with the wireless transmission turned off is discrimination against people with a disability.

A 60-year old woman died in a head-on collision west of Perow Loop at 12 p.m. Sept. 12. A 22-year old male was trapped in his SUV for an hour before being rushed to the Burns Lake Hospital with serious but non-life threatening injuries. Police say the cause is yet to be determined but alcohol doesn’t seem to be a factor. The Houston RCMP are being assisted in this investigation by a reconstruction analyst and traffic service members. The accident closed Hwy. 16 in both directions for a large part of the day Sept. 12. with no detour available and did not reopen to traffic until later that night.

Canada’s Pipelines

KEEPING CANADA’SENERGY HIGHWAYS SAFE

HOW PIPELINE COMPANIES ARE TAKING STANDARDS TO A NEW LEVEL

Pipelines – known as energy highways – are vital to our country’s energy infrastructure.

Without them, we wouldn’t be able to do many of our daily activities, like travelling or heating our homes.

That’s why it’s critical pipelines are efficient and safe – we need them to reliably deliver 80 per cent of the oil and gas products Canadians use.

Canada’s pipeline companies carefully follow a strict set of standards and regulations and use sophisticated equipment at every phase of a pipeline’s life – from design and construction to operations, maintenance and emergency response plans.

These measures and innovative practices allow Canada’s pipeline industry to boast a 99.999 per cent* safety record.

But we’re not stopping there. We’re committed to zero incidents; to reach it, we are focusing on new pipeline innovation, employee safety and emergency management through an industry led program, CEPA Integrity First®.

Safety doesn’t just influence our plans, processes and standards – it defines them. It is the top priority of our industry, now and in the future.

Lakes District Arts Council (LDAC) is proud to present Brit-ish Columbia’s folk icon and touring legend Valdy is coming back to Burns Lake. A mas-ter of folk, blues, rock and roots, Valdy is one of Canada’s best-loved performers and has a humorous and engag-ing stage presence. The show takes place at the First Mennonite Church Oct. 1 at 7:30 p.m.

Valdy will perform with the 'blue-haired priestess of the bas-soon,' Nadina Mackie Jackson, whom Valdy describes as "incompa-rable." They weave their musical paths into a tap-estry of musical styles ranging from folk to ba-roque and coloured by a friendship that reaches across the stage and across musical genres.

Joined by jazz pianist Karel Roessingh the trio mixes the Valdy song book, jazz and classi-cal works, including Vivaldi, to delight au-diences of all ages and backgrounds.

Tickets are now on sale for this perfor-mance at LDFC Print-ing and Stationery and at Process 4 circle arts Gallery. Tickets are $17 for adults and $12 for seniors, students and youth. Look for LDAC’s ads in the Lakes District News and for our post-ers around town. Get your tickets early for this event. The last time Valdy performed in Burns Lake we had a near sell-out.

Season tickets to the 2014/15 LDAC per-forming arts sea-son, ‘Time for Nine,’ are still on sale at LDFC Printing and Stationery and at Process 4 Gallery. Season tickets are your best buy. You can attend the performances you most want to see for less than $10 a show. And you can give unused tickets to friends, work colleagues or neigh-bours and help spread the word about the Arts Council and the excite-ment of live perfor-mances.

There are just two weeks to go before the Valdy and Na-

dina Mackie Jackson show, the first of the 2014/15 season. We hope you’ll get your season tickets in the next couple of weeks and join us for the excit-ing ‘Time for Nine’ line-up. The coming season includes the return of Ballet Jorgen Canada performing Cinder-ella, Alberta folk and

roots performer John Wort Hannam, Ontar-io’s rising star Darrelle London and more.

The Lakes District Community Services Society (LDCSS) played host to a packed house of happy revellers last Friday for their 40 anniversary cel-ebration.

Patrons along with LDCSS staff, board members and volunteers gathered to play some fun games, enjoy a cupcake and juice box and welcome the important non-profit agency into its fourth decade of providing needed social supports to improve the quality of life of residents of the Lakes District.

Kelly Turford, executive director of the LDCSS, said the 40 anniversary celebration gave them an opportunity to honour those who give up their time and energy to help people that ask for the agency's support. She said their staff, board of directors and volunteers are not only strengthening the agency but also growing and broadening its horizons.

Turford said the LDCSS started out in 1974 as an employment agency and has grown from there to now provide three strains of programming includ-ing child and youth services, developmentally dis-abled adult services and seniors help.

She said the agency is also starting a few new things on their 40 anniversary such as the Lakes District Community Response Network that is a network of individuals and agencies that work to-gether to prevent abuse, neglect and self-neglect of vulnerable adults as well as an autism support ser-vice that is designed to promote understanding, ac-ceptance and community inclusion for people with autism and their families.

The LDCSS community inclusion group is cur-rently full and serves 14 developmentally disabled adults. Their child and youth mental heath program serves anywhere from 70 to 150 kids at any given time and there are two full-time clinicians on staff.

The senior support program's bus service picks up around 20 to 30 people each Tuesday and Thurs-day to take them to places such as the post office, grocery store and health appointments. The grow-ing LDCSS Meals on Wheels appointments cur-rently has eight recipients.

Turford said the LDCSS truly became a com-munity service eight years ago when they ensured there was additional programming that was more reflective of their community base. She said the 40th anniversary gives them a chance to build on that by launching their new website, www.lakesdis-trictcommunityservices.ca, along with celebrating the people that have made the agency into what it is today.

No university in Canada has a history like UNBC’s. Imagine 16,000 people calling on government to create a northern university. It happened here. Before UNBC was a university, it was a social movement that instilled a strong sense of ownership, purpose, and adventure in the region, which carries over to our students today.

Not everything goes according to plan. Christina Giesbrecht supported the idea of UNBC from the beginning so her future children could stay home for university. They took other paths, but she became a graduate herself. Christina calls it serendipity.

Music saved the life of Lake Babine Nation musician Joel West and he plans on using this new-found time to help others facing the same troubles he did.

West, 30, is a recovering drug addict and alcoholic who is exercising his guitar skills and gruffly voice to document his time in the trenches while seeking a greater footing in the music business. He is also a life-long Burns Lake resident who wants to help his downward spiralling friends find a new and healthier approach to living each day.

"Being in the party scene and interacting with people, I don't need that anymore because I have myself and I'm starting to love myself again," said West, noting his dream is to one day play in a stadium and open for one of his blues rock idols. "Now I've got offers to go to Nashville to record, offers to go to Vancouver and record and I have to work around my [work] schedule, but things are starting to work. They're starting to happen."

This reality almost didn't occur, as seven months ago West felt the urge to give up on his now nearly two-year-old sobriety. A seminar at Choices in Abbotsford, a series of sessions

that teach attendees the tools of forgiveness and love for oneself and others, helped him lean in his present direction and also helped him quit smoking after 18 years.

West said like many others he felt like he had an empty tank that needed filling up again and that is what Choices or Alcoholics Anonymous or counselling helps give people. He said the knowledge to remain confident gained through attending these sessions along with his natural ability to be a shoulder to lean on is giving his peers who are going through a rough stretch a chance to seek him out for a natural pick-me-up.

"People fail at a lot of things, but the real winners are the people that come back and keep trying," he said. "I'm doing my best to work as hard as I can to show people if they've got a dream they've got to push for it."

An EP (extended play album that is longer than a single and shorter than a full-length) featuring West's original song Shine My Way as well as a few covers from his favourite art-ists such as Buddy Guy, Merle Haggard and Ray Charles is the next stage of the local artist reaching his goal. West said people are always approaching him asking if he has any CDs for sale, so to appease his fans he'll be heading south soon to record his first album.

"Always people ask on Facebook, a ridiculous amount of people, 'you got a CD,'" said West. "Well, not yet, [but] I'm going to make some soon and that's where it's going to start."

If anyone is looking to find out more about West's music they can look him up at his Joel West Tunes group on Facebook and if a venue is in need of a performer they can contact West's manager Nick Erickson also through Facebook.

The Burns Lake Curl-ing Club will attempt to continue operating their lounge at the Lakeside Multiplex this season if the Village of Burns Lake gives them a re-duction in rent fees.

Around 25 members

of the curling club met last Thursday at the lounge to discuss their future. The main is-sues of contention for the group were social in nature and involved whether they should keep the curling club lounge going and if the stairs leading to and

from the bar is safe enough to accommo-date people walking up and down them after a post-game beverage.

After much debate the group eventually decided to ask the vil-lage to reduce their $500 a month rent for the lounge in half on a

new 12-month lease. The stairs leading to the lounge remain a work in progress as the cost to lengthen them and then subsequently bring the stairs up to present-day B.C. Building Code standards would be a costly project.

Kevin White, presi-dent of the curling club, said club trea-surer Sandy Dore will be meeting with village staff this week to sub-mit their rental proposal for agreement. He said when the lounge may open to patrons is un-known considering their plea for a reduced rate is yet to be accepted.

White said there are a few people on the executive that have the training and a certifi-cate that is needed to serve alcohol on regular league days and run-ning the bar shouldn't be a problem. He con-firmed bonspiels could be an issue because the lounge would be open longer and they'd need more people to serve, so they'll look further into a solution for this.

"A big part of the curling community is the social aspect of it," said White. "It's always been a social aspect that I think draws people to it to start with and then as they start to enjoy the game they become more competitive."

White said member-ship at the club did go down into the forties last year, but that had to do with the ongoing renovations to the mul-tiplex. He said the high number of people who came to their meeting last Thursday shows the curling scene in Burns Lake is strong and they will continue to try to drum up more member-ships before the Oct. 4 grand opening of the Lakeside Multiplex that starts with a 11 a.m. rib-bon cutting ceremony.

"We have an opportu-nity to put some people on the ice and maybe give some new curlers a chance to see what they think," he said about opening day. "It'll be free. There will be no cost involved."

Patrons of the Bea-con Theatre will have to wait a few weeks to catch their new favou-rite flick, but the work being done in the mean-time should make the delay worthwhile.

Jason Llewellyn, secretary of the Lakes District Film Appre-ciation Society, said the community owned and operated theatre will likely reopen to fans of the big screen on the weekend of Oct. 10, but if the needed reno-vations are completed earlier then scheduled they'll open sooner. He said the improvements during this time period would include replacing all the seats with mod-ern theatre seating and putting down new vinyl flooring.

"The flooring that is in there now is just ply-wood that was painted and over the years with all the sugary drinks and

stuff spilt it's degrading and it's a bit slippery," said Llewellyn. "The seats came from a the-atre where they were really designed to be on a flatter surface, so they slope forward a bit and they're a bit uncomfort-able."

Llewellyn said the sloped flooring in the theatre created mobil-ity issues for people in wheelchairs, so level platforms are being put in as well as some ac-cessible seating to make the building more read-ily available to handi-capped people. He said this renovation qualified

them for a federal grant which is in addition to a grant they received from the Nechako-Kitamaat Development Fund (NKDF) to fi-nance the repairs.

"I expect by the time we're all said and done it's going to be in the $45,000 to $50,000 range [in] cost," he said, noting the seats and flooring came in at ap-proximately $20,000 each. "It'll cost us a lit-tle bit, but the majority of the cost was covered by the grants."

To make way for the 150 new seats with at-tached cup holders the

old seats were placed at the side of the building alongside Third Avenue and made available for free to anyone who wanted a three-or four-seat set. The response from the public was overwhelming, as the vast majority of the old seats found new homes by the second day.

Llewellyn said the hope is the new more comfortable seats will make coming to the the-atre to enjoy some pop-corn and a movie more attractive to people and a more enjoyable ex-perience for everyone in the community. He

said the society is look-ing into opportunities to further improve the building such as return-ing the exterior of the theatre back to its origi-nal design, but for now they're just focusing on the grand re-opening.

"We'll have a cou-ple of events," said Llewellyn. "We'll have a family day event and then a seniors day event and have movies related to that and snacks and beverages. The details of that haven't been planned, but certainly we're going to have at least two different events."

WORD SEARCH

LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23: Libra, staying the course may be a challenge this week. You have too many things pulling you in different directions. But you’ll be successful if you can get a foothold in one thing.

SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22: Work associates may not be holding up their end of the deal, Scorpio. You’re content to help out once in a while but not take on the work of everyone else.

SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21: Use your charm to win someone over, Sagit-tarius. This is an influential person who will be good to have in your corner. You never know when you might need a good ally.

CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20: Capricorn, if certain ideas didn’t work in the past, give them another try. All of the components may fall into place this time around, and you’ll like the results.

AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18: Aquarius, the coming weeks may be ideal for some rest and relaxation. Plan for some downtime and make the most of this chance to recharge your batteries.

PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20: Pisces, expect things to flow much more smoothly this week than they have in recent weeks. You may find you have more free time.

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20: Aries, your thoughts are spinning and it’s pretty dif-ficult for you to get a hold of any one thing. Take a step back and try to clear your head before proceeding.

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21: Taurus, don’t let your nerves get the better of you this week. Find someone who can calm your nerves and help you realize you have nothing to be nervous about.

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21: Gemini, you have plenty of motivation to get a proj-ect started. All you need is some help to get things off the ground. Others will be inspired by your enthusiasm.

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22: Cancer, others seem to spend time in the spotlight, but you’re more comfortable spending time in the shadows. Make the most of this time for quiet reflection.

LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23: Leo, you may be anxious to try a new hobby this week, but just don’t know which direction to go. Get some recommendations from friends about what keeps them busy.

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22: Sometimes it is difficult for you to talk about your feelings, Virgo. You want to present a brave front, but you’re only human and should let others in this week.

▼ COFFEE CORNER

Keeping Your Notebook CoolNotebooks mainly keep themselves cool by means of a fan that is located near one of the back corners of the notebook case. This fan usually pulls air in through vents on the bottom of the notebook, and expels hot air through a vent on the side or back edge. Due to the intake vents location, you should always place your notebook on a flat, clean surface while it is running. Putting it on a blanket or a dusty table might allow it to suck up dust, dirt or pet hair, which can clog the vents or damage the fan. Blocking the intake vent for prolonged periods can also cause the notebook to overheat, as the fan is not able to move enough air to cool the computer. If left unchecked this can damage the fan, leaving the notebook unable to cool itself even if the vent is not covered. Even under the best of circumstances your notebook cooling fan will still get dusty and dirty, so it’s a good idea to carefully clean it out with compressed air once every month or two.

As of November 2013, there is new Work Safe BC Occupational Health and Safety Policy, and legislative requirements around Bullying and Harassment awareness in the work place.“New Horizons Leadership Solutions” of Burns Lake in partnership with the Red Cross is delivering workshops in Bullying and Harassment Awareness in the workplace.

Jim David, of New Horizons Leadership Solutions is a certi� ed Red Cross Bullyingand Harassment prevention educator.


John GelzJohn passed away on September 9, 2014 having just recently celebrated his 85th birthday on July 26, 2014.

He is survived and will be deeply missed by his loving family including: 4 children Des (Nuala), Mick (Jane), Kris (Ron) and Brad; 8 grandchildren Erin (Trevor), Jennifer, Doug (Haleh), Christy (Gerry), Mike (Gwen), David (Alison), Justin (Val), Michelle (Jason); 13 great grandchildren Connor, Dylan, Leila, Rowan, Amelia, Hannah, Michael, Griffi n, Harrison, John, Isabel, Emily and Jane; his brother Don Gelz and family and so many friends and extended family in the Vancouver and Burns Lake area.

John was born on July 26, 1929 to Alfred and Mildred Gelz in Cowansville, Quebec. The family included an older sister Daphne and younger brother Don. They lived in Cowansville, Quebec and Orillia, Ontario until John was 16. John’s early life was challenging as he lost his mother when he was only 5 and his father suffered a heart attack shortly thereafter while managing a war related factory. Fortunately, he spent many summers with his beloved Grandparents John and Mary Jones on the farm in Cowansville…these were always among his fondest memories in his life. His Dad recovered, remarried and the family moved to BC after the war. John’s time in eastern Canada, and particularly in Quebec, engendered him with strongly held views about an inclusive and diverse Canada. His Quebec heritage was important to him.

The family moved to the Dunbar area in Vancouver and John went to Lord Byng high school. His passion was sport and he participated actively in both football and rugby. He played rugby for Vindex and managed a few broken noses and other injuries in the process. John always enjoyed the more rugged aspects of these sports and the camaraderie associated with team sports.

John worked a few different jobs after high school but very soon thereafter became a lineman with CN. During one of his earlier jobs at a cannery he met Ronnice Rich and they were married on September 26, 1951 at Collingwood United in Vancouver. They celebrated almost 62 years of marriage until Ronnice died suddenly at 81 last June 21, 2013. John and Roni’s family grew quickly and after roughly 5 years there were 4 children; Des, Mick Kris and Brad. On the work front John took his electrical apprenticeship as a lineman with Peterson’s Electric and spent many years working line construction…demanding much time away from home and his young family. In 1962, when BC Hydro was formed, John took a Lineman position and he and Roni moved the family to Burns Lake, BC starting a new chapter (really an adventure) in their lives.

John’s interests involved family, friends, work, sports, music, “the lake”, woodworking, politics and the community. He truly loved Burns Lake and was a “contributor” from the very beginning. In the early years he was an auxiliary RCMP, active in Kinsmen and worked numerous volunteer hours helping build the fi rst artifi cial ice hockey arena in the mid 60’s. He coached hockey. He built and helped build more than one cottage at Francois Lake. In 1967 he joined the Masonic Lodge, a 47-year involvement that recently culminated in a rare 3-generation ceremony with son Mick and grandson David. He was active on Village Council for 14 years, numerous years on Regional District, Chairman of the Burns Lake Hospital Board, Chairman of the Museum Society, active in the United Church and generally involved and interested in anything that would enhance the community. In the 1970’s he became a Line Supervisor for Hydro, proud of the team he worked with and dedicated to effi cient rural service. John retired from Hydro in 1987 at age 58 and, true to form, in retirement, set ski trail at the Omineca Ski Club for many years, in addition to pursuing his woodworking interests. On March 3, 1993 he won the Governor General’s Award for Community Service and was the fi rst Burns Lake Citizen of the Year in 1972.

Throughout all the years his close friendships with so many in Burns Lake was a central theme to John and Roni’s lives. They loved to “party”, enjoyed dances, festivals, and community events. Their home and cottage at the lake was usually always busy with visitors from near and afar. John had an abiding passion for music and his appreciation ran from classical to country….with folk and contemporary somewhere in there.

With more time in his later years, his love of family seemed to take precedence over everything. He was able to spend more time with his grandchildren and really took an interest in maintaining contact with each of them as they moved into adulthood. He loved to discuss issues with them and of course he was not hesitant about expressing his opinion on any subject, as most who knew him would attest. John held deep convictions on many topics and discussion with him was not for the faint hearted or the soft-spoken. He had strong beliefs and a demanding standard on many subjects…..effort, commitment, quality, love of country….among some of the topics and, the family, in particular, learned from his values. At the same time he was particularly proud of the independent thinking and spirit of each of the grandkids. As great grandchildren came along, John and Roni extended their same love of family to each of them…..keenly interested in witnessing the vitality of youth once again and taking joy in the enthusiasm they witnessed. His only frustration towards the end was not remembering all the names and connections instantaneously….but he worked at it.

When Roni passed last year it was devastating to John but he was most thankful for all the support he received from family and the community. With failing health, the past year was diffi cult for him but he stayed positive and connected as best he could and persevered to the end. John will be missed by his community, as he made a signifi cant contribution over more than 50 years. He will be even more deeply missed by his family and close friends, who are blessed with a lifetime of heartfelt memories.

Th ere will be a Celebration for Johnat the Immaculata at 1:30 PM on October 12, 2014.

In lieu of fl owers donations to the local Cancer Societywould be appreciated.
