As the temperature begins to heat up and the weather starts to dry up, concern over the ignition of wildfires is sure to ratchet up in the Burns Lake area.

Despite the damp and cool weather the area has experienced so far this spring, already there have been five fires in the Lakes District area and one fire in the Morice district, all six of which have been human-caused fires.

In 2013, the Lakes District experi-enced 35 forest fires, of which 14 were caused by human carelessness.

As of noon on June 19, the wildfire danger rating for Burns Lake was mod-erate, but the surrounding areas of the community, including Houston have a rating of high.

The areas with a high rating also include areas just south of Tchesinkut Lake.

The wildfire danger rating is used to express a number of factors that affect the fire environment, and include, ease of ignition and difficulty of control.

“Each situation is different and de-pends on many other factors, such as fuel type, terrain, slope and weather conditions,” Olivia Pojar, Communica-tions Specialist for the wildfire man-agement branch said.

The Northwest Fire Centre (NWFC) is responsible for forest fire protection for the western portion of the Northern Interior Forest Region and the northern portion of the Coast-al Forest Region.

The area includes, the Forest Dis-tricts of Kalum, Skeena-Stikine, the North Coast and Nadina, and covers a quarter of B.C. from the coast to just west of Endako and from the Yukon boarder to Tweedsmuir Park, approxi-mately 25 million hectares in size.

The major communities in the NWFC region are Burns Lake, Hous-ton, Smithers, Terrace, Kitimat, Prince Rupert and Dease Lake, and the NWFC responds to an average of 160 fires, which burn approximately

18,000 hectares in the area each year.One of the major concerns for the

Nadina Forest District is the frequen-cy of abandoned campfires.

Last year there were 32 abandoned campfires in the Nadina district and so far this year there have a been nu-merous campfires that have been left burning unattended as well.

A person that leaves a campfire un-attended for any length of time can be fined up to $345 and anyone whose fire cause a wildfire can be subjected to a fine of $100,000 and be jailed for up to a year, and hit with the costs as-sociated with fighting the fire and the damages.

“The NWFC encourages campers to always ensure that a fire is cool to the touch before leaving the area for any length of time, or going to bed at

Campers reminded to never leave fire unattended

night,” Pojar said, “all campfires should be surrounded by a fuel-free area and either eight litres of water or a readily available shovel.”

Along with human caused wildfires, another primary cause of wildfires is lightning.

Lightning is the cause of start-ing approximately 50 per cent of all B.C. forest fires.

For the NWFC, weather is the predominant controlling factor when it comes to the frequency and severity of fires.

Cool, damp fires yield few fires, and those that do start can be con-tained and brought under control easier, while dry, hot weather in-creases wildfire danger.

Typically the severity of wild-

fire season depends on the com-bination of factors, such as ter-rain type, snow pack, lightning strikes, levels of drought and for-est floor moisture content.

“The NWFC maintains its level of preparedness by study-ing forecasts that allow for a good idea of what to expect in the short-term,” Pojar said. “for long-term preparedness, fore-casts have a diminished level of reliability.”

As far as fighting wildfires is concerned, Burns Lake has one unit crew consisting of 20 mem-bers.

There are four initial attack crews, each consisting of three crew members located in Burns Lake and Houston, and in addi-

tion, five supervisory staff work both bases in Burns Lake and Houston.

These crew members received extensive training each year in fire behaviour knowledge, fire management tactics, commu-nications, air operations, orien-teering, fireline organization and fireline equipment use.

As well, they must meet na-tional physical fitness require-ments.

Pacific Booker Minerals (PBM) has taken the next step in their attempts to break ground on the Morrison Mine project.

The proposed mine, which would be a conven-tional, open pit mine operating near Morrison Lake, 35 km north of the Village of Granisle, had its at-tempts at securing an environmental assessment certificate denied in Oct. 2012.

However, a ruling in December 2013 by the B.C. Supreme Court overturned the Environmental As-sessment Office's original ruling due to the fact that PBM didn't receive adequate 'procedural fairness' because they were not provided with the opportu-nity to respond to the final recommendation from the executive director.

Now, PBM has taken the necessary next steps af-forded them in their attempts to obtain an environ-mental assessment certificate.

The application was remitted to the Minister of Environment and Minister of Energy, Mines and Natural Gas for reconsideration.

This time, PBM was provided with a copy of the recommendations, and afforded the opportunity to

Last Week’s Question: Do you like the Lakeside Multiplex as the facility name?

44.4% No 55.6% Yes

A few things have changed since the last all-out teacher strike in B.C.

That was just two years ago, when the B.C. Teachers’ Federation was coming off its second-ever voluntary agree-ment with a 16% raise over five years and what the union termed an “en-hanced” signing bonus of $4,000. Even with spe-cial teacher-only top-ups,

BCTF members almost rejected the last of the gov-ernment’s big-spending pre-Olympic labour deals signed in 2006.

By 2012, outraged teachers were back on the leg-islature lawn, howling for another 16%, with backup vocals provided as usual by HEU, CUPE, BCGEU and other public sector unions that settled for less. Teachers had just sailed through a crippling global recession with a series of raises, but were oblivious

to all that.Last week the protest venue switched to Vancouver, where both the crowd and the demands

looked a bit thinner. The signing bonus target is up to $5,000, but the raise is a mere 8% over five years (compounded, for those who passed math), plus another huge basket of cash dis-guised as benefit improvements and so forth. Government negotiators put their total compensa-tion demand at 14.5 per cent.

One obvious dodge: they want the bottom two steps of the teacher salary grid dropped. That’s simply a raise for entry-level teachers. Admittedly those are rare creatures these days with shrinking enrolment and ironclad seniority rules that allow retired teachers to monopolize substitute work.

Something else that’s changed since 2012 is that the government has granted the BCTF’s wish to bargain directly with the province. The education ministry executed a takeover of the B.C. Public School Employers’ Association after last year’s election, and installed veteran in-dustrial union negotiator Peter Cameron. He’s backed up by long-time labour specialist Lee Doney, whose task is to keep the teacher deal within Treasury Board limits that have defined all other public sector union settlements.

Doney made it clear last week that no mediator is going to come in and “split the baby” as long as the BCTF position is so far beyond the current compensation framework.

Despite constant union complaints of low wages and deteriorating working conditions in B.C. schools, education grads remain lined up around the block hoping to get in. Why is that?

For those who have been exposed to life outside school for a while, it’s fairly simple. The job market out here in the real world is tough. And here’s how the real world evaluates a teaching job.

Start with 189 working days, each nine hours long as per the accepted definition, and the top-heavy seniority list that places the average teacher salary at around $72,000 a year. That works out to $42.32 an hour, plus a suite of benefits that most private sector employees can only dream about, starting with three months of prime-time vacation.

I am occasionally lectured by teachers that the job goes far beyond five hours in the class-room and an additional four hours a day preparing and marking. They throw out different esti-mates, variously defined. Alas, it’s a salaried job, and we salaried employees in the real world don’t waste a lot of time counting hours. Here’s the work, here’s the deadline, here’s the pay. Take it or leave it.

Consider another union demand that seems to be just another thinly disguised raise. The BCTF wants a large increase in preparation time for elementary school. There are no duties being added here. For this one item, government negotiators calculate the cost to taxpayers at $86.2 million every year by the fifth year of the BCTF proposal.

A brief history of teacher demands

Cast your vote this week: Do you support the latest decision on the Enbridge pipeline?

To vote log on to www.ldnews.net

Last week, in a state-ment, that should not have come as a surprise, the federal government endorsed the 209 condi-tions set forth by the joint review panel, effectively approving Enbridge’s Northern Gateway pipe-line project.

British Columbians were quick to voice their displeasure with the federal governments

decision, with statements from various politicians speaking out against the pipeline and a protest was organized in downtown Vancouver later that eve-ning.

A group of First Nations, including the Wet’suwet’en First Nation, the Union of B.C. Chiefs, the B.C. Assembly of First Nations and the First Nations Summit, among over 20 others will immediately go to court to pursue all lawful means to stop the pipeline project from being built.

Enbridge must still meet the 209 conditions for approval the joint review panel put for-ward, as well meet the five conditions from the B.C. government.

Those five conditions include, successful completion of the environmental review process, meaning they would need recommendation from the National Energy Board to proceed, world leading oil spill response, prevention and recovery systems, world leading practices for land oil spill prevention, response and recovery systems, meet legal requirements re-garding aboriginal land and treaty rights and that B.C. receives a fair share of the fiscal and economical benefits.

According the Enbridge, the 1177 kilometre pipeline that will carry 525,000 barrels of diluted bitumen per day from Alberta, west to Kitimat will have enormous benefits to B.C., including the creation of 3000 jobs during construction, generate $1.2 billion in tax revenue over the next 30 years and contribute $300 billion to Canada’s gross domestic product (GDP).

Do these benefits offset concerns about environmental protection? No.Will the jobs created benefit the communities in Northern B.C.? The problem with these stated benefits is that the company that Enbridge contracts to build

the pipeline will hire workers with the job and skills training. This could mean the hiring of workers from outside the region that would come in to Burns

Lake and the related communities to work, then once the work is done they would leave.Yes, this benefits B.C., but it doesn’t benefit the people living in the communities with the

most at risk.The Lakes District is home to some of the most beautiful fishing lakes, and the community

is being asked to potentially sacrifice the well being of those lakes with little benefits to our communities.

It’s the province that stands to benefit from the construction of the pipeline.The British Petroleum oil spill of 2010 has caused tremendous harm to the marine and

wildlife habitats and the fishing and tourism industries near the Gulf of Mexico, specifically in Louisiana and Florida.

While only a remote possibility, an oil spill would kill the vibrant fishing community in the area.

Unfortunately, oil is the fuel source that is dependant upon. It is depended upon to fill up the boats that are used to fish and the trucks that are used to

haul those boats.Until an alternative fuel source can be substituted, it seems that the dependency on oil will

lead to the building of bitumen pipelines and to the possible destruction of our environment.

MINE from t P3

provide a written response to the recommendations before a further decision was made, something that PBM has done.

Chief operating officer of PBM, Erik Tornquist said, "On March 10, 2014, the company provided a response to the recommendations of the executive director's report of Sept. 20, 2012. The company's response was sent to the working group and First Nations for comment."

The proposed copper, gold and molybdenum mine re-quires an environmental assessment certificate because it is a new metal mine with an ore production capacity which exceeds the reviewable projects regulation threshold of 75,000 tonnes per year.

In fact, the proposed mine would produce 30,000 tonnes of ore per day over the 21-year life of the mine.

The mine would employ 1117 part-time. full-time and temporary workers per year over two-years during con-struction of the mine, and would employ 601 part-time, full-time and temporary jobs over the 21-year life of the mine.

It is estimated that total provincial revenue over the life of the mine would be $64.5 million.

A big obstacle for this project for PBM is the proposed mine would be built and operational on LBN land.

Lake Babine Nation has a strong case for both aborigi-nal land title and aboriginal rights, and are vehemently op-posed to the building of the mine.

In PBM's original application, a letter dated July 26, 2012, from Lake Babine Nation Chief Wilf Adam stated that LBN opposes the project because it would "signifi-cantly impact our fishing and other rights, including our aboriginal title."

The Environmental Assessment Office (EAO) denied the original application based on three reasons.

Firstly, the EAO de-termined that there is the potential to impact a ge-netically unique sockeye salmon population that contributes to the Skeena River sockeye popula-tion, which is the second largest sockeye salmon population in B.C.

Secondly, it was deter-mined that the potential long term liability for the province and the risk to the environment were not acceptable in this case.

Finally, it was deter-mined that there is in-sufficient data about the behaviour of the lake and the potential diminished long term water quality in Morrison Lake is not an acceptable risk.

Pacific Booker Miner-als received comments from the working group and First Nations on April 29, 2014, and pro-vided a response to those comments on May 23.

For now, PBM waits for the next step in the process to take place.

"The company is now waiting for the execu-tive director to inform the company of the next steps," Tornquist said.

A timeline for when those next steps will take place has yet to be deter-mined.

Last week was special with Father’s Day. Moth-er’s had their day and now father’s can have their day. We didn’t have either when we were growing up.

Our parents were very special to us though.

The whole family gathered at Rick and Ma-rie Hunters for a family day celebration for Fa-ther’s Day. What a fun time it was, lots of chil-dren having fun. Their lawn is just special for a picnic.

Then lots of wonder-ful food to close off such a good time. I felt so very proud of my whole family as to me they are special. What more could a person ask for, it’s a

blessing. Before coming back to

town my daughter Ma-rie took me down to the Landing to visit our old home. What wonderful memories there are. The house was just as we left it, everything is its place. It’s still a lovely warm home. It was built in 1918 so it will soon hit the 100 year mark. If these walls could talk what wonderful stories they could tell. Lots of fun times and some sad times but all in all what memories that are so pre-cious. Our family of four look back to those grow-ing up years with such fond memories. I love you all. Now a whole younger generation has taken over where Jo and I left off. It all started over 60 years ago.

Big boatsSo many fancy boats

going by. Some are very large for ocean fishing I would guess. But they are very costly not only to buy but to operate as well. It’s hard to compare with the boats we used to

fish with now many years ago.

Folks are reporting good trout catches this week and quite a good size too. Makes it worth while.

I look back on my fishing years at Francois Lake they were special times. I made my home on the lake for over 70 years. They were won-derful years who could ask for a better place to spend your life.

My room at the Tweedsmuir House over looks Burns Lake as well I can see the mountains to the west. No matter what those memories of my life on such a beauti-ful lake will never leave me.

Half my growing up years in the Eyehill Creek place in Saskatchewan. It was such an interesting place to grow up rid-ing and working. Horses were our lifeblood. They were fun times too. Then moving to the Lakes Dis-trict to finish my grow-ing up, what more could I ask for. Then such a

wonderful wife and fam-ily and so many close friends that have been so special to me.

We are very fortunate in our Lakes District to have as many retirement homes for seniors. Then the Pines for folks unable to care for themselves and a new modern hospi-tal almost ready, yes we are fortunate. All this is a shot in the arm for Burns Lake.

Little storyIt started out bad but

ended up well enough. This was bout 40 years ago but it came into my mind about a week ago. Paddy Carrol and his wife were showing mov-ies at the hall on Thurs-day nights. They were very popular and well at-tended. Our mom and dad never missed a show. We had at the time an Inter-national pickup and this one evening she walked down from the hall with the news the pickup had been stolen. She had left the keys in the ignition so it was good pickings. It’s a nasty feeling when

this happens. The police were notified to watch the roads. One good thing the tank was almost empty. We phoned all over that night and next morning, no luck. Then things began to hap-pen and a message over the phone went with the news your pickup is just past the rock cuts at the head of the lake.

It’s in a dangerous place as it’s just in the balance of going over the bank and is tied up in a barbed wire fence with the wire wrapped around the front wheels and it’s just on the balance of go-ing over the bank so be careful how you pull it out.

So my wife Jo and I took off with rope and tools in my car. I had a heavy hitch on the car and it was a big heavy car too. So we roped the pickup to the car hitch af-ter I had cut a length of wire off the pickup front wheels, what a job this was. I had brought along a five gallon of gas. I was afraid to start the mo-

tor due to the dangerous position the truck was in. Jo started to pull while I stood on the running board and out the pickup came, no harm done, motor ran well. It was a prayer answered no fool-ing. To this day I could never tell who had stolen the pickup.

It was the fence that saved the truck from go-ing over the banks and of course the empty gas tank also helped us find the truck. Nobody really knows the empty feel-ing you have when your vehicle is stolen until it happens to you.

Nice surpriseJust had the nicest sur-

prise this afternoon when one of my very old-time friends from the Francois Lake days stop in for a visit. Everett Hickey, whose family were pio-neer families of the land-ing. When we first came to Francois lake his fa-ther, Everett Sr., had the mail run to Noralee.

This took in Colley-mount and Trout Creek (Clemretta). The fam-

ily lived just west of the landing. Everett Jr. lives in Prince George with his family but we always have such a nice visit talking about the old days.

MusicOn Wednesday eve-

ning we had the Decker Lake Mennonite choir visit us with a hymn sing and message. The resi-dents of the Tweedsmuir House always enjoy these evenings. Most all of the hymns sings are ones we were brought up with many years ago. Thanks for coming out.

In a day or so we will have the two longest days of the year. June 21 and 22 then we start going back again and the days will start to get shorter. As the old saying goes time flies and I guess it’s true.

Best I close out now for another week. Take care and always remem-ber God loves you and so do I. If you can’t say any-thing good about some-one don’t say anything at all.

I had a wonderful father’s Day at the Landing

Pacific Future Energy has announced plans for a $10 billion oil refinery on the North Coast, which they promise to be the world's greenest.

The "near zero net carbon" emission refinery will be developed in partnership with First Nations groups, the company said an a news release this morning.

"We believe this is an incredibly unique opportu-nity to build the greenest refinery in the world and there's no better place than BC," said Samer Salam-eh, Executive Chairman of Pacific Future Energy.

"Our pre-feasibility study has begun, which will analyze the economic, social and environmental aspects of the refinery and help to determine the prospective site and expect to launch our feasibil-ity and regulatory process in the next nine to 12 months."

The refinery is being designed to be built in mod-ules, each processing 200,000 barrels of bitumen per day. The bitumen would be converted into gaso-line, diesel, kerosene and other products. When all of the project modules are complete, the facility will process up to 1,000,000 barrels per day, start-ing with the first phase of 200,000 barrels per day.

editor:Open letter to Mr. RustadI am writing to ask you to urge Ms.

Clark to order her negotiating team to bargain in good faith with the teach-ers. It is time for fair funding of pub-lic education - time for kids to have their needs met in our public schools and time to show respect for the work done by 40,000 teachers in our prov-ince.

I am upset that the funding for inde-pendent schools has increased while we have seen significant decreases in per student funding in the public school system. Please represent the large portion of your constituency that supports teachers and speak on our behalf.

I stand for the ‘nay’editor:As many of you know, I am the

person who stood up Enbridge’s new Incident Management System after the Michigan spill. I know a lot about incident management generally, and at Enbridge in particular. Also, I am a Metis of Algonquin descent from the Ottawa Valley. Environmental man-agement, Enbridge, and Indigenous communities profoundly matter to me. Accordingly, in light of Prime Minister Harper’s approval of the Northern Gateway project, I have a comment to make.

Rigorous construction standards and management of any pipeline is a must. The assumption that there will be failures is also a must. A standing capacity to address major issues is a must.

More importantly, my experi-ence tells me that the only way for the Northern Gateway to be a safe pipeline is for there to be transpar-ency, trust, cooperation and invest-ment among all stakeholders. Chief

among the Gateway’s stakeholders are the Indigenous people of B.C. If the Indigenous people of B.C. can be shown that the Northern Gateway pipeline is safe, economically valu-able to them, and in their long term interest, then there is sufficient evi-dence for me to believe the pipeline can be built and operated safely. Conversely, if the Indigenous people say in the end, no then there is likely not enough management transpar-ency to build a safe pipeline.

Notwithstanding what I know about economics, incident manage-ment, and project management, the bottom-line for the fate is the North-ern Gateway currently is – and should be – the judgment of the Indigenous People of BC. I stand with their “nay” or their “yah”.

Transparency and trust among all stakeholders is the most critical.

Preparing to fight EnbridgeTom FleTCher

From Kitimat to Victoria, opponents are prepar-ing to fight the Enbridge Northern Gateway pipeline proposal, after it was given federal approval.

A group of B.C. aboriginal communities issued a statement Tuesday vowing to go to court to protect their aboriginal title and rights on the land affected by the twin pipeline and tanker port for diluted bitu-men on Douglas Channel.

Aboriginal opponents in the North Coast region include the Haida, Gitgaat, Heiltsuk and Haisla First Nations, as well as communities in the B.C. Interior.

Haisla Chief Councillor Ellis Ross, whose com-munity is at the end of Douglas Channel and who is involved in a natural gas export project, said it is too late for more consultations.

“Every mistake they’ve made we actually pointed out to them and said ‘this is not following our case law principles, you’re making a mistake’,” Ross said Tuesday. “But they went ahead and did it. It is going to be court.”

Northern Gateway project leader Janet Holder said

she will continue to work to build on the 26 equity agreements the company has reached with aborigi-nal communities along the proposed pipeline route.

Kitimat Mayor Joanne Monaghan said her coun-cil has made its opposition clear, after an April com-munity vote that came down opposed to the project.

“I think most of the councillors are of the opin-ion that they really don’t want to see bitumen going down the channel,” Monaghan said. “They would rather have it refined and have a product that’s re-fined going down the channel.”

B.C. NDP leader John Horgan said he wants re-source development that creates jobs in B.C., partic-ularly for aboriginal communities. Horgan said the B.C. Liberal government gave up its opportunity to oppose Northern Gateway.

B.C. Environment Minister Mary Polak rejected that claim, saying the province gave a clear “no” in its final submission to the federal review panel.

Discussions with Alberta, Enbridge and oil pro-ducers continue to see if B.C.’s conditions for land and ocean protection as well as a “fair share” of benefits for B.C. can be met, Polak said.

Jesus hates death more than all of us put together. The whole reason Jesus came to earth was to abolish death and bring life and immortality to light through the gospel.

What is the gospel? It is the good news that Jesus has conquered death and its power over each of us, by dying for our sins, so that death has no right to hold the one who receives him as savior.

The very one our so-ciety mocks, ignores, and has nothing but con-tempt for – is in reality the only Savior of the world, the only Hope for mankind, the only avenue to eternal life.

No wonder the bible calls us to repent, that is, turn around from ig-noring Jesus, from giv-ing him our back and not our face; turn from

our lesser and tempo-rary preoccupations, to the one who alone grants eternal life; turn from thinking sinful liv-ing doesn’t matter, to the one who alone can forgive, cleanse and be-stow new life.

Jesus is the resurrec-tion and the rife, and he proved it. He entered earth announced by heaven. He left earth with the declaration that his next appearance will be to reign until all enemies are under his feet. “The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.”

What a great re-minder as we celebrate Canada Day, otherwise and better named, Do-minion Day. Why Do-minion Day?

Our founding fathers based it on Psalm 72: “He (Jesus) shall have dominion from sea to sea, and from the river unto the ends of the earth … His name shall endure forever and all nations shall call him blessed.”

Why? Because he is the death of death and evil.

Life is not a game. It is a choice for eternity. “O death, where is your sting? O grave, where is your victory? Let us thank God who has given us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.”

Jim McBride has seen many firefighters walk in and out of the doors to his department in his 15 years on the job as part of the Burns Lake Fire and Rescue department.

McBride is Burns Lake's Fire Chief, among other job titles he holds with his job working for the municipality.

His department responds to various inci-dents, such as structural, wild land and ve-hicle fires, water and ice rescues, vehicle extrications, land search and rescues, carbon monoxide calls, fire alarm calls, as well as medical aid calls and a variety of others.

He has, including himself, enough safety equipment and the budget to staff up to 28 firefighters.

The catch, besides himself, his department is based entirely off of volunteer work from people in the community.

Volunteer fire departments are nothing new to communities in Northern B.C. where the vast majority of the fire departments work off of the commitment and hard work of its volunteers.

McBride knows of four, what he calls "ca-reer fire departments" in Northern B.C. the rest of the departments work of off volun-teers.

The towns of Prince George, Kitimat, Ter-race and Prince Rupert are the communities which have career fire departments.

With most departments being volunteer based it can leave many communities at a disadvantage when it comes to maintaining a standard of excellence, especially when it comes to education and training individuals to be firefighters.

All of the volunteers hold down every-day jobs, and the commitment to those jobs,

along with their families can make getting new volunteers, and current volunteers, up to speed difficult.

However, McBride notes that he feels that the Burns Lake department is very fortunate when it comes to the commitment to the peo-ple on his roster.

"I'm very fortunate, and so is this commu-nity, to have the number of personal and the dedication of the personal that are involved. I've got a great crew next door from my dep-uty all the way down," McBride said.

His department is dedicated and takes the training to heart.

It starts with indoctrinating each individ-ual telling him or her what the department expects from each person, as well as letting them know what the department has to offer.

"They're great," McBride said, of his fire-fighters, "it's the dedication for lack of a bet-ter word, and the enthusiasm for looking out for their neighbours."

Training is a three part process.There’s basic training, which consists of

eight to nine specific subjects, from safety, to ventilation, to learning about their protective equipment and to learning how to lay hoses, operate nozzles and carry water.

Basic training takes approximately nine months to complete, and once an individual has completed basic training they move on to levels one and two training, which goes more in depth on the subjects covered in basic training and takes an additional four years.

Currently, there are six members of the Burns Lake department that are completing their level two training.

Throughout training, McBride stresses that safety is the primary focus for his firefighters.

"I can't afford to, nor can this community afford to have an injured firefighter," Mc-Bride said, "these people have job commit-ments, family commitments so my senior staff and I we are very cognizant of safety and not putting any of our members in harms way."

A volunteer will not be given a pager to re-spond to various calls until McBride and his senior training staff are comfortable with the education level of the certain individual.

That comfort level is hard to reach some-times, specifically due to the high turnover rate that can be inflicted on volunteer based departments.

McBride has been fortunate, that he’s been able to steadily fill 25-26 positions, out of 28, on his roster the past four or five years, and retain many of the volunteers.

That is in stark contrast when he was down to 17 members.

"I don't have the magic formula, training and retention is a provincial wide and coun-try wide problem," McBride said, "I mean it's not everyone’s cup of tea to put them-selves in harms way."

No matter what his roster numbers are, though, McBride's primary concern is al-ways for the safety of his members.

He has been in the fire service industry for 38 years now, and he has yet to have to make the phone call home and explain that some-one's husband or wife, is in the hospital.

"Unfortunately accidents do happen and when you research how that accident hap-pened or how this firefighter got injury you go back onto his training. Was he properly trained was she authorized to be in that po-sition?"

"If something should ever happen to one our firefighters that's the questions that's go-ing to be asked of me and our senior staff, but primarily of me. The buck stops at this desk I'm the one who's ultimately in charge," McBride said.

It all comes down to his senior staff."I have to compliment my senior staff be-

cause they recognize that they work in an industry where safety is first and foremost," McBride said, "we have an educational program run by one of my senior captains, Jason Blackwell. Training has always be a hard subject and Jason has undertaken that along with all my senior firefighters and deputy captains."

British Columbia officially opened the door to happy hours and implemented minimum drink pricing, offering flex-ibility for businesses and their customers while preserving health and public safety.

Consistent with the views heard from both industry and health advocates during the Liquor Policy Review, B.C.'s minimum drink prices are in place to encourage re-sponsible consumption and are based on ounces of alcohol sold at licensed estab-lishments. The minimum price an es-tablishment can charge is $3 for a drink - which, for example, would buy a single

ounce cocktail, a five ounce glass of wine or 12 ounce sleeve of beer or cider.

Allowing licensees, such as pubs, res-taurants and lounges, to alter their liquor prices throughout the course of the day is a pocket-book friendly change for Brit-ish Columbians that will help the industry attract customers at times when business may typically be slow.

Additional changes stemming from the Liquor Policy Review also came into ef-fect.

Food-primary establishments must con-tinue to offer a full menu, but if patrons

simply wish to order drinks they are not obligated to order food as well. Also, cus-tomers can now move freely with their beverage from one adjoining licensed area to another, such as from a pub to an adjoin-ing restaurant - a common-sense change from the previous rules, which required staff to carry customers' drinks for them.

Licensees may now transfer small amounts of liquor between similar types of establishments. For instance, if a pub is experiencing a shortage of a specific liquor product, a nearby restaurant can transfer liquor to it.

A memorandum of understanding signed by Premier Christy Clark and MLA John Rustad last week reaffirms the provincial government's commitment to ending violence against aboriginal women, and to a violence free B.C.

Clark and Rustad, the MLA for Nechako Lakes and the Minis-ter of Aboriginal Relations and Reconciliation, signed the memo-randum at an event hosted by the First Nations Summit.

They were joined by representatives of the Summit, B.C. As-sembly of First Nations, the Union of B.C. Indian Chiefs, Metis Nation of British Columbia, as well as members of the Minister of Aboriginal Relations and Reconciliation's Advisory Council on Aboriginal Women (MACAW) and representatives of First Nations and aboriginal organizations throughout B.C.

This memorandum of understanding coupled with the work of the MACAW ties into the provincial government's commitment to create a long term solution for violence against all women.

The MACAW set up from the 'Collaboration to end Violence: National Aboriginal Women's forum' in June 2011, with the ex-pectation that the council would provide advice to the provincial government on how to improve the quality of life for aboriginal women in B.C.

The hope is to ensure that vulnerable women have the support they need to prevent and escape from violent situations, along with having solutions for women who have been victims of vio-lent attacks to recover.

"This memorandum of understanding proves that collaboration and partnership is the right path towards a safer future for ab-original women and girls," Rustad said.

The issue of violence against women, and in particular aborigi-nal women is something that the provincial government contin-ues to tackle.

It recently provided $400,000 to the 'Giving Voice' initiative, which takes aim at helping aboriginal communities speak out and

take action on this issue of violence against women.The $400,000 was on top of $120,000 giving to the project in

2013/2014.Some may argue that not enough is being done, a shuttle bus

for remote communities along Hwy. 16, a recommendation at the 2006 Highway of Tears symposium strongly recommended be implemented, has yet to come to fruition.

It was an issue that again was brought to light this April dur-ing MLA for the North coast Jen Rice toured across Hwy. 16 to raise awareness about the need for such transportation in those communities.

"We must support any and all measures designed to protect indigenous women and girls from abuse, violence and exploita-tion," Grand Chief Stewart Phillip, President of the Union of B.C. Chiefs, said.

Along with the money provided to the 'Giving Voice' initiative, the provincial government has also provided a three-year plan in regard to domestic violence.

In Feb. 2014, the Provincial Office of Domestic Violence re-lease the Provincial Violence Domestic Plan, which calls for $5.5 million to be spent over a three year period.

Of the $5.5 million, $2 million is earmarked to develop and deliver programs, specifically for aboriginal women, men and children affected by domestic violence.

"It is unacceptable that in this day and age, violence against women and girls, and in particular aboriginal women and girls in so prolific in our society," Cheryl Casimer, director of the First Nations Summit's political executive, said, "This memorandum of understanding represents a much needed collaborative effort for First Nations, Metis and the provincial government to come together and take concrete actions on stopping violence against aboriginal women and girls."

For more information on the MACAW please visit, www.gov.bc.ca/arr/social/min_adv_council_on_aboriginal_women.html.

And to see more information on the provincial domestic vio-lence plan visit, www.mcf.gov.bc.ca/podv/dr_pp_booklet.pdf.

Moving towards a violence free B.C.

WORD SEARCH

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22: Cancer, now is a good time to travel, even if it means just a quick jaunt. But if a big vacation is on the horizon, know that you will likely have a smooth trip ahead.

LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23: Your powers are magnetic this week, Leo. Others find you simply irresistible, which can bode well if you are looking for a romantic partner or want to step things up.

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22: Virgo, a busy week at work will require lots of co-operation among you and your coworkers. If ever there was a time to summon your leadership abilities, now is the time.

LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23: Libra, many things are in disarray and you may need some help getting back to efficient living. Download an app to help you track expenses or keep tabs on your responsibilities.

SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22: You are bound to be the center of attention, Scor-pio. Get over any shyness early on because you will be spending time with coworkers for most of the week.

SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21: You will do some of your best work at home this week, Sagittarius. Spend ample time getting the house in order. A few days working from home could kickstart plans.

CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20: Capricorn, quickly curb any feelings of bore-dom by exploring a new hobby. Try taking a new fitness or art class. You’ll have chances to mingle, too.

AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18: Put the brakes on impulse buys, Aquarius. This week you may be tempted to spend more money than you have, and that will only lead to long-term financial concerns.

PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20: Pisces, it is time to rebrand yourself. This may start with a mini-makeover or more significant changes to your life and career.

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20: Aries, let your creative side take over this week. Your imagination is ready to run wild, and this burst of creative energy will have long-lasting positive effects.

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21: Taurus, though you are known for being a tad stub-born, this week you are open to any and all suggestions. You may surprise a few people by being so open-minded.

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21: Gemini, while you may have natural leadership abili-ties, most of the time you do not want to pull rank. This week you may need to step things up a bit.

Fake Adobe Flash UpdateAdobe Flash Player often receives updates several times a month, so most people are familiar with getting a prompt encouraging them to download the latest version. However, there are a lot of fake notifications out there that may lead you to a web page that will install software that you do not want. This page will usually look almost identical to the real Adobe Flash download page, but it’s fairly easy to spot a fake. If you are prompted and agree to download a Flash update, check the address bar of your web browser. If it does not contain adobe.com in the first part of the address somewhere, the page you are on is fake and the “update” is most likely malware. If you see this update come up consistently every time you visit a certain website, it might be a good idea to avoid that website in the future. The website may be trying to lure you in with a free service, like a game, while trying to heap junk programs on you.

The Tweedsmuir Cavaliers Saddle Club's (TCSC) Red Robin cattle sorting event was held recently at the Eagle Creek grounds. Competitors travelled from as far away as Quesnel to take part in this unique sorting event with $2500 in cash prizes paid out. Heather Bowing of Prince George, sorting a record 82 cows. Second spot was hotly contested between Russell Cassidy and Bob Macdonald, with Russell’s total time on 61 head 1.03 seconds faster than Bob’s. So close. Russell and Bob also took the fast time with 67.2 seconds on 10 head. For more info on the TCSC or its events, please contact Kristi at 250-692-5721 or email [email protected], check us out on Facebook, or our website http://tcsaddleclub.webs.com
