Candidates for mayor, village council and school board trustees had a chance to voice their opinions and answer questions from the public during the 2014 Municipal Elections All Candidates Forum in Burns Lake.

The event, hosted by the Burns Lake Chamber of Commerce, took place on Oct. 30 at Lakes District Secondary School.

Approximately 80 community members attend-ed the event and had the option to submit a ques-tion to all candidates or to a specific person. In ad-dition to writing down questions during the event, this year the community was encouraged to submit their questions online prior to the meeting. The moderator of the forum was Sandra Barth, com-

munity volunteer and former principal of Decker Lake Elementary School.

The forum started with candidates for the School District 91 Nechako Lakes - Crystal Fisher, Lynda Maertz and Marnie Phair - making their opening statements.

Candidates for school district trustees were the first group to answer questions. One of the ques-tions was “What is your commitment to keep small schools in rural areas opened?”

Maertz said children in small schools are impor-tant because children receive more “one-on-one attention.”

“This is something we need to keep supporting,” she said.

Phair said supporting small schools is a “neces-sary thing.” She said the experiences children have in small schools are unique.

Fisher also said it’s important to support small schools far out of town. “There will always be a need to have them,” she said.

Mayor Luke Strimbold, running for re-election, was sitting beside mayoral candidate Deanna

Brown. Brown made her opening statement by saying she would like to see a “First Nations voice at every table,” as well as to invest in diversifying the local economy. Strimbold chose to make his opening remarks by saying that over the last three years, the community of Burns Lake faced “diffi-cult tragedies” such as the Babine Forest Products sawmill’s incident. But since then, the community has shown that they can “come together to work on initiatives for a prosperous future.”

After those opening statements, it was time for the opening remarks of the village council candi-dates - Christopher Beach, Kelly Holliday, John Il-les, John Phair, Charles Rensby, Susan Schienbein, Frank Varga and Shelley Wall.

After the opening remarks, the moderator ad-dressed questions to all candidates. One of the first questions was “What is your position regarding the Enbridge Northern Gateway proposal?”

John Phair said there is “nothing he sees about the Northern Gateway project that would benefit the community in the long term.”

A Burns Lake area man who murdered his 17 year-old sib-ling when he was 15 will be re-leased from prison before his 20 birthday under a sentence hand-ed down by the Supreme Court in Smithers last week.

The 19 year-old, whose name is withheld due to a publication ban, pleaded guilty earlier this year to second-degree murder for killing his older sibling in 2011. The crime took place dur-ing a dispute over comments made on social media.

The man had been in cus-tody since he was arrested and charged in 2012, more than two years before last week's hearing.

Supreme Court Justice Mar-vyn Koenigsberg imposed the maximum seven-year sentence, including a further six months in custody ending in April next year.

The remainder of the sentence will be served in the community under an Intensive Rehabilita-tive Custody and Supervision (IRCS) order, which involves regular treatment and therapy.

Justice Koenigsberg handed down her decision after consid-ering the recommendations in a pre-sentence report prepared by a youth probation officer from the Ministry of Children and Family Development.

Other exhibits included psy-chological assessments and a DVD outlining the history of First Nations in the Burns Lake area.

Crown prosecutor Declan Brennan said the man and his sibling were in and out of foster care placements as children, and that their extended family had experience trauma “on a scale that is unusual”.

However, the man was said to have shown strong intellectual ability and had been regularly attending school since he was placed in custody.

Defence lawyer Terry La Liberte said it would be a “sin” to allow the 19 year-old to be placed in an adult prison.

He said unlike in other cas-es, the convicted man had not shown a pattern of criminal be-haviour, and that he had shown remorse.

“Prison should be a last re-sort,” La Liberte told Justice Koenigsberg.

Both the crown prosecution and defence lawyers agreed the maximum seven-year sentence served under the IRCS program was appropriate, however Bren-nan called for the man to spend more time in prison.

Justice Koenigsberg asked youth probation officers to pro-vide more information about the details of the IRCS plan, which

would aim to help the man tran-sition into independent living by providing regular support and therapy.

A section of the Youth Crimi-nal Justice Act, the program is reserved for young people who have committed a violent crime and are suffering from “a men-tal illness or disorder, psycho-logical disorder or an emotional disturbance”.

It provides $100,000 in fund-ing annually for ongoing treat-ment and intensive supervision for a person who shows signs that treatment would reduce their risk of committing the same or similar offence.

However, the funding is only available for people in the youth justice system.

Because the convicted man will turn 20 in 2015, and he would be transferred to an adult facility if he was still in custody, he would need to be released before his birthday to access the program.

If he was sentenced to a fur-ther two years or more in custo-dy, he would be sent to a federal prison.

Justice Koenigsberg ex-pressed concern that allowing him to go back into the commu-nity too early could set him up for failure, however she agreed with the defence position that he should not be sent to an adult

facility, or a Federal prison. “Is he more at risk in the

custodial system for one year or more, or more at risk if he's living independently in six months?” she said.

Ultimately, the judge deemed the risk to his ability to reinte-grate into the community would be greater if he remained in cus-tody long enough to go to an adult prison.

She said she wanted the ac-cused to have the benefit of the IRCS funding because she believed he had a chance to be-come a positive person in the community.

She crafted the sentence to ensure the man could access the program by ending the custodial portion of the sentence before his 20 birthday.

His mother, who was in the courtroom for the duration of the hearing, wept after the sen-tence was handed down.

Having watched the DVD about First Nations communi-ties in the Burns Lake area, Jus-tice Koenigsberg said she be-lieved there were opportunities for him to return to his home town after he was rehabilitated elsewhere.

Youth probation officers will present the details of the IRCS plan in March, when the man reappears in the Supreme Court one month before his release.

Burns Lake area man sentenced

The climate debate, which all left-thinking people insist is over, has erupted in the B.C. leg-islature over our nascent liquefied natural gas in-dustry.

Chilliwack-Hope B.C. Liberal MLA Laurie Throness heated things up by announcing that he’s “agnostic” on the subject of human-caused global warming. The re-

ligious terminology is intentional, he said, because this is how climate change is currently discussed – deniers, believers and so on.

Throness mentioned the inflated elephant in the room, 18 years with little or no average global surface temperature rise, even as greenhouse gas emissions keep rising around the world.

Needless to say, Green Party MLA and climate scientist Andrew Weaver was aghast at this heresy. And NDP MLAs lined up behind former Sierra Club high priest George Heyman to ridicule Throness, inadvertently proving his point about their rather nasty religious zeal.

I’m also skeptical on global warming, as regular readers will know, and so are many voting adults in Canada and elsewhere. And I agree with Throness’ main point that B.C. shouldn’t sacrifice its energy economy while the jury is still out.

Most politicians who presume to decide the fate of this vital and threatened industry have at best visited a well or plant site, and media information about the industry is often from questionable protesters. So today I’d like to provide some background on the natural gas industry, as someone who grew up with it and worked in it in northeastern B.C.

Natural gas is mostly methane, the main ingredient in farts. It is many times more potent than carbon dioxide as a heat-trapping gas in the atmosphere, which is one reason it is often flared rather than vented if it isn’t captured for use as fuel.

Raw natural gas may contain carbon dioxide, a key plant food and component of exhaled breath that has been rebranded as pollution. Gas from the Horn River Basin, one of B.C.’s largest deep shale formations, contains 10 per cent or more CO2, more than conventional gas.

B.C.’s most lucrative gas field is the Montney shale around Fort St. John, which contains nearly CO2-free gas as well as light petroleum liquids.

(This is similar to the Bakken shale in North Dakota, where American roughnecks contin-ue to burn off vast amounts of gas to get at the more valuable light liquids. Oddly, President Barack Obama and former Canadian singer Neil Young don’t notice this.)

Weaver and the NDP are correct in their main objection, which is that the B.C. govern-ment’s new limits on CO2 from LNG production are a sham. As much as 70 per cent of the total greenhouse gas emissions from the gas industry occur before the LNG stage, which is the only thing the new rules regulate.

CO2 that comes up with gas is extracted and vented. A government-subsidized pilot proj-ect to capture and store CO2 at Spectra Energy’s operations at Fort Nelson seems to be going nowhere. Restricting LNG-related emissions is mostly a cosmetic gesture.

Environment Minister Mary Polak correctly notes that gas producers pay carbon tax. Yes, but only on the fuel they use, not “process emissions” such as flaring. Big LNG proponents plan to burn more gas to compress and cool LNG, and their greenhouse gas emissions be-yond a certain limit will force them to buy carbon offsets or pay into a technology fund.

If LNG investment isn’t scared away by protests and piled-on taxes, it surely means B.C.’s greenhouse gas reduction targets are history. The question now is how much that actually matters.

Hot gases spew from legislature

Small towns tend to use the term “diversity” lightly. I heard it while I was living in rural Sas-katchewan even though the white population there accounted for al-most 99 per cent of its habitants, not to men-tion almost everyone had been born and raised there. So when I first heard about diversity in Burns Lake, I must ad-

mit I was a bit skeptical.Only to my surprise, I was proven wrong within

the first two weeks. I guess all I needed to do was attend the 2014 Municipal Elections All Candi-dates Forum that took place last Thursday in Burns Lake.

The diversity I noticed wasn’t made of differ-ent races, but in ideologies and backgrounds. A 22-year-old candidate for village council ensured that the voices of the youth in town were being represented. A First Nations mayoral candidate was making sure the Aboriginals were being heard. A pro-environment council candidate was making sure we were making con-scious economical decisions that wouldn’t hurt future generations.

What also caught my attention was that most candidates, as well as most people living in this town, have lived somewhere else.

One of the candidates for council had lived in Asia for 10 years, and other candidates had lived in different towns in British Columbia and across the country. While some of them were born here, others moved to Burns Lake later in life.

I find diversity important specially for smaller locations. Having people that lived in other places not only makes the town more open minded and welcoming, but it also brings new ideas to the table and fresh perspectives. It makes newcomers such as myself think that Burns Lake is a place where everyone is heard, everyone is welcomed.

Another aspect unique to this town is that the tragedy and loss the town experienced a couple of years ago with the explosion at Babine Forest Products sawmill is still vivid in people’s memories. You can feel it when you talk to locals and hear their stories.

What is surprising, however, is that the town found a way to overcome the tragedy. The resilience of its residents is manifested through the determination to build a better

place. That newfound sense of pride and purpose comes across during all community events, as well as when new projects are taking place.

Every new project now has a meaning. Every achievement matters. Tragedy has united all residents and has given this town an undeniable sense of belonging.

What I also noticed during the debate was that candidates were engaged and willing to make a change. It is definitely exciting be part of a thriving community that is willing to shape its future and has so much to offer.

But all this value and pride should be made more visible to people who never visited the Lakes District. This is exactly what some of the candidates mentioned during the debate - the fact that Burns Lake needs to market itself better.

Maybe our best attributes are not being sold well enough. Maybe we can do a better job spreading the word of our beauty, diversity, the resilience of

our people and specially the youthfulness of this place. Our uniqueness should be our selling point.

There is certainly opportunity here, and maybe this is as good time as any for the new elected candidates to steer this town in the right direction and make sure our stories are being heard. Selling our uniqueness will attract more newcomers to our area. And when they move here, they will know they have just arrived at a great place.

Diversity not overestimated

“The potential risks are so great that I don’t think it’s an issue we should be pursuing,” he said. “There are alternative energies that are overtaking the oil industry as we speak.”

Schienbein said she doesn’t support the pipeline project, and added saying that it’s really important to work more closely with First Nations to build “a more prosperous community.”

Rensby said that “as long as the pipelines can be done safely and right, we should pre-pare to get our cut of the deal.”

The following ques-tion was “How do you see the relationship between the Village of Burns Lake and the Re-gional District of Bulk-ley Nechako (RDBN)?

Strimbold said the Village of Burns Lake and Area B of the RDBN have “the most partnerships out of all communities across the regional district,” thanks a “close work-ing relationship.”

Brown reinforced the idea that it’s important to promote partnerships between the village, the regional district and First Nations.

Another question addressed to all can-didates was “What is the major infrastruc-ture problem in the vil-lage?”

Holliday said the “roads and the surfaces of the roads” are the main problem, as well as water and sewer.

“We need to look at ways to keep increas-ing the reserves that we have and replace the water tower within the next five years,” said Holliday.

According to Beach, the answer is simple - money. “There’s so much aging infrastructure in our community, our

biggest problem is going to be finding the resources to start re-placing them,” said Beach. “That’s the biggest challenge the next council is going to face.”

Schienbein said the village’s biggest problem is water supply.“In order to attract more revenue, we need to increase the

amount of people here,” she said, “And that will take water.”According to Varga, the biggest challenge for the village will

be having a “strategic approach.” “At the end of the day, if you don’t have a strategy in place, you

can spend a lot of money doing it all in the wrong order,” he said. “We have a very small tax base and we have to make sure that we maximize every single dollar.”

The next question addressed to all candidates was “What long-term plans do you believe the community needs to concentrate on to ensure economic diversity?”

John Phair said the village should invest in agriculture, tourism and alternative energy.

“If we don’t move forward in those fields, we are going to be left behind,” he said.

Illes said many “small strategies put together” can help make a difference in the community. However, the most important strat-egy would be investing in the creative industry in Burns Lake.

Wall said recruiting health care workers to the new Lakes Dis-trict Hospital is a “top priority.”

“Working on a comprehensive marketing plan to assist North-ern Health in obtaining this goal is important to ensure the qual-ity of life to all residents,” she said.

Candidates also answered the question “What is the most sig-nificant issue you might have to deal with in the next four years.”

Brown said that having such a small tax base in Burns Lake might not be enough to pay for all new projects the village has initiated in the past few years.

Strimbold said the most significant issue will be allocating the amount of dollars to replace aging infrastructure, and to balance out what the village wants and what it needs.

I am a bit short of time this week so my news maybe a bit short-er than usual.

HalloweenHalloween is behind

us and it was really a fun time for everyone both young and not so young. Lots of mom’s and grandmother’s too went along and even a few dad’s. It’s good for everyone to have a time out with the kids. All the kids had big bags and some were really loaded, enough treats to last the year. Must not forget the wonderful costumes, they were out of this world.

I am going to go back a long time now when Halloween was not a

fun time like it is now. Evesham, our old home town, Burns lake and the landing. Not many treats but lots of tricks and some of them were dangerous or turned out to be. Our dad would not let either brother Peter or myself go out, maybe a good thing too.

One Halloween in Evesham, our old home town, had a few boys having what they thought fun tipping over all the out houses.

One man hid in his to catch the boy’s in the act and he did just that and he ran after them and had a heart attack which killed him. This spoiled the evening as he was such a nice man.

Then one year Hal-loween night some boy’s put the milkman’s delivery buggy on top of the school roof. This was a big job as it was a big school and high. This was a large buggy and quite heavy too. Next morning the high school principal called the big boy’s up to his

desk and told them I will give you all until noon to get Mr. Webb’s buggy off the roof with-out a scratch and back in his yard.

They went to work as they had to take the wheels off and lower on ropes then the shafts and then the buggy and it was heavy but they had it down before noon in good shape not a scratch.

The next year we were at Francois Lake. Now over 70 years ago. Francois Lake had some pretty wild Halloween’s and did Burns Lake.

This a Halloween story of many years ago and it could have been nasty. I saved my neigh-bours and good friends new outboard motor as I just happened to be there. At the time there were two boats houses west of the old ferry dock and my friend had his boat and new mo-tor stored there. It was very late at night and I was taking a walk by the ferry dock and I no-

ticed a light in the boat house so I watched a couple of guys were taking my friends new motor along the ditch and come back and leave. I smelt a rat so I walked down the ditch and there was Bob’s new motor hidden in the grass so I picked it up and put it in our shop. It was all I could lift too.

Then I sat down and waited. Then I saw this strange pick up stop and two guys walk down the ditch I guess to pick up the motor they had hid-den.

I didn’t know them so they must have noticed the motor in the day-light so they drove off without the motor. Bob was pretty happy when I told him I had his mo-tor safe.

During our years at the landing we used to have boat rentals for tourists. This was a good deal as the boats were safe as they were lumber boats with five horse air cooled mo-tors, theses were trouble

free. They were going steady too. During that time we had three sto-len but managed to get them back. Two were at Indian Bay and one was at Hospital Point. It was a long time to find that one as the folks that stole it had it well hid-den.

These little motors had the gas tank mount-ed on the motor so they were easy to take. It’s so long ago now I forget what happened to them. They would be a mu-seum piece now I would guess. But they were foolproof.

Bad timingHow many folks for-

got to turn the clocks back. For once I remem-bered and set mine back before I went to bed. Then when I woke this morning I looked at my clock and for a few min-utes I wondered what happened. Having to change the clocks back is a pain in the neck.

Why can’t they leave us alone. I just wonder why how important is it

really or just something to confuse us. Some places are smart and leave it alone and I wish we would do the same.

WaterOur son at the land-

ing had just put a new stock waterer for his horses, the old one is workout. It was not fin-ished yet and he left it for a while to get tools when he came back there were five deer al-ready drinking. It seems they like the waterer to drink from rather than the lake.

When I was at the barn and had the horses there the deer came to drink at my waterer all winter. I guess they en-joy the warm water from the cold lake water. It seems the wild animals are getting more tame all the time. Our daugh-ter Marie and husband Rick Hunter were sit-ting at their kitchen table when low and be-hold a fox walked onto their veranda and was looking in the kitchen window bold as brass.

This was no doubt the one that killed all their chickens.

I was given a joke the other day and it’s a good one and you will enjoy it. A man and a woman had been mar-ried for many years. The old man would shout at his wife whenever there was a confrontation. They could be heard deep into the night. He would shout “when I die I will dig my way up and out of my grave and haunt you for the rest of your life.” Neighbours feared him and he liked the fact he was feared. When he was 98 he died. After the funeral the neighbors were con-cerned about her safety that he just might dig his way out and harm her the rest of her life. The wife’s answer was “let him dig, I had him buried upside down and I know he won’t ask for directions.”

Have a safe week and always remember God loves you a great deal and so do I.

Turning our clocks back & forth is a pain in the neck

editor:Re: Is LNG really clean energy? Lakes District News issue Oct. 29, 2014Thank you for your thoughtful and thought-provoking editorial in this week's Lakes District

News.The short answer to the question of whether LNG is cleaner is no. Although it may be cleaner

when we actually burn it, the extraction, transportation and processing makes LNG not only not clean, but one of the dirtiest kinds of fossil fuels we can inflict on our already tortured little planet. The whole answer is in This Changes Everything, by Naomi Klein. The information about LNG that she sites in this book comes from the scientist who developed the fracking processes that make LNG profitable.

For anyone who really wants to know more about LNG in particular, and the climate crisis in general the depth, scope, and magnitude of it, and what we can do to stop it, I encourage you to read Klein's immensely important book. Published this year, it explains everything: how rich and powerful fossil fuel corporations have co-opted our democratic governments until they are either unwilling or unable to turn us toward a more sustainable future; how and why the climate change deniers interrupted progress toward sustainable energy systems; how the economy-vs-environment argument is part of the denier strategy; and the role that free trade plays in all of it.

No LNG is not cleaner; it is not a bridge to renewable green energy, it is a gangplank to a faster way to drown.

What is Aboriginal lateral violence?

editor:Aboriginal lateral violence and what it isLateral violence is a cycle of abuse where previously oppressed people begin to di-

rect the oppression to a group of people or individuals who are powerless to fight back. Lateral violence is a learned behavior therefore with particularly aboriginal people it stems from:

1. Appropriation: or having our lands, waters and our way of life taken away from us.2. The Indian Act: since 1867 allows the government to control Indian status, land,

resources, wills, education, housing band administration etc. So for now the oppressors are those people in power.

3. Unresolved grief: caused from intergenerational trauma due to residential schools, discrimination and racism where the government of Canada, objective of the residential school, was to "kill the Indian child." The first residential school was opened in 1820.

4. Relocation: we were the first inhabitants of North American however in the 1700s European explorers arrive and begin to establish claims.

5. Culture shock: 1923 aboriginal people are legally enforced to attend residential schools and are forced to abandon their language, cultural practices, beliefs and way of life.

6. Poverty: or horizontal violence which many leaders have developed whether they are first or second generation residential school survivors. In other words our leaders, children of residential school survivors, continue the cycle of lateral violence. The op-pressed begin to oppress their people.

When some of our leaders don't acknowledge that they have a problem they will ex-hibit lateral violence behavioral actions such as not hiring fully qualified people, nomi-nating and voting for family members who have little or no education (nepotism), not having band meetings, not sharing resources, writing policies designed to discourage higher education, employment and economic development. Other symptoms or behav-iors of lateral violence is when employees or chief and council do not return phone calls, emails or text messages or simply just don't answer, not having an employment policy or implementing it. As a result jobs are appointed to someone thus not properly posting the job, providing incentives to family members only, allowing and condoning band members (outside encouragement) to vote for people who would support the pipeline and gas company projects.

Lateral violence has a domino effect that causes animosity from our leaders and em-ployees who have control. However lateral violence is a learned behavior and the good news is that it can be unlearned.

Logging Debris Burning

As the snow approaches, we at Burns Lake Community Forest Ltd. are preparing for our 2014 Logging Debris

Burning Program.

Logging debris is commonly left on harvesting blocks after processing due to

rot, disease, or a failure to meet processing facilities specs. This debris is piled to allow

us to burn it when it is safe to do so.

Through the coming weeks we’ll be burning piles throughout the Community Forest, in order to prevent these piles from potentially becoming a fire hazard in the

drier seasons.

Northern Health, in partnership with local gov-ernments, created a program called Partnering for Healthier Communities (P4HC).

The program supports local committees in grant-ing money to organizations that support healthier living and wellness activities. These local commit-tees are co-chaired by local government and North-ern Health, and have a multi-sectorial membership. Through the development of a common vision and of a healthier community, these committees de-velop initiatives that are based on locally identified risk factors such as lack of exercise and substance misuse.

The committee in Burns Lake, called Building a Better You, has $10,000 left in funding to support eligible individuals and groups.

In order to be eligible for the grants, groups or in-dividuals must be residents of Burns Lake; the proj-ect must occur within the Lakes District; the proj-ect must be sustainable; and the applicant should demonstrate a commitment to the project through a contribution of their own time and/or financial resources.

The purpose of the grants is to support organiza-tions in developing initiatives that address locally identified risk factors amongst target populations and to build healthier northern communities.

"Northern Health recognizes that it takes partner-ships and collaborative approaches to build healthi-er northern communities," states Northern Health's website.

The deadline for the grant applications in Burns Lake is Nov. 12. For further information, contact Marie Hunter at 250-692-2425 or Kelly Turford 250-692-7577.

Beautiful fall skies. Local resident Brian Shields snapped this photo recently.

This year, Remem-brance Day is especially poignant, as 2014 marks the 100 anniversary of the start of the First World War and the 75 anniversary of the start of the Second World War. As time passes and fewer veterans are with us, it becomes increas-ingly important to show that we remember their sacrifice. It's also a time to show respect for those who continue to fight in wars around the world.

Canadians have a long-standing tradition of donning a red poppy during the remem-brance period from the last Friday in October until the end of the day on Nov. 11. The poppy is the international sym-bol of remembrance, and when you wear a poppy, you honour the war dead and help vet-erans and their fami-lies.

Following the shoot-ing in Ottawa of a Cana-dian military reservist and the fatal hit-and-run of a veteran in Quebec, some Canadians have been requesting to wear a poppy before the cam-paign launches on Oct. 31. Legions welcome them to show their sup-port early, with many branches having pop-pies available at their location for those who stop by.

However, donations cannot be accepted until the campaign officially begins on Oct. 31.

Since 1921, the Royal Canadian Legion's Pop-py campaign has helped provide direct assis-tance for ex-service people in financial dis-tress, as well as funding for medical appliances and research, home ser-vices, care

facilities and numer-ous other purposes.

Wear a poppy as a symbol of those who gave their lives in the defence of freedom

The Village of Burns Lake is currently preparing an application for New Building Canada Fund – Small Communities Fund program (NBCF-SCF), a program that provides communities with support in addressing their infrastructure needs.

The grant money will be used for Burns Lake’s Eighth Avenue Replacement project. The project consists in the upgrade of infrastructure such as water, sewer, storm, sidewalks and asphalt from Babine Lake Road to Center Street and from Center Street to Tenth Avenue.

The current infrastructure in that stretch of Eighth Avenue has reached “the end of its useful life” as determined by the Village of Burns Lake Capital Asset Management Plan, said Mayor Luke Strimbold.

The project costs are estimated at $2.9 million. If the village is approved for the grant, the project should start in the spring of 2015.

Burns Lake student Elise Dube will have the opportunity to train alongside top snowboarding athletes from around the world during a training camp in Europe.

The camp will be held in Pitztal, an alpine valley located in Ty-rol, Austria, from Nov. 14 to Dec. 3, 2014.

Dube will have the opportunity to meet the Canadian National Snow-boarding team, as well as the Aus-tralian and Austrian teams during the camp. The camp provides an oppor-tunity for world-class athletes to net-work. This will be the first time Dube will meet members of the Canadian National Snowboarding team.

"I will be able to train with them [the national team] and ask them what life is like for them," she said.

Although there will still be no snow on the ground, athletes will be doing rock climbing and yoga, working out at the gym, playing soccer and vol-leyball, and other activities intended for physical enhancement. Dube said she recognizes the importance of being physically fit when snowboarding.

"In snowboarding, you need a lot of leg strength," she said.

Dube and 11 other athletes from the B.C. Snowboarding team will fly to Austria alongside coach Chris Na-konechny and assistant coach Meghan Hebert.

Babine Elementary-Secondary School is receiving new modular classrooms to replace part of the original buildingFLAVIO NIENOW

Babine Elementary-Secondary School (BESS) opened its doors in 1967 to accommodate Granisle’s then rapidly growing Population. At one point, the school had approximately 500 stu-dents.

Currently, 26 students are enrolled in the kindergarten to grade 12 school and, up until a few months ago, they were using the same facility built over 40 years ago.

"It was an older facility that hadn't got any renovations and it was due for an upgrade," said vice-principal Dylan Watt.

Given declining enrolment rates and the building’s deteriorat-ing condition, newly designed modular classrooms were deter-mined as the best solution to revitalize the school.

Modular classrooms feature "a bright, open design with high ceilings and windows for plenty of natural light," according to

a press release from the Ministry of Education. In contrast to portables, modular classrooms are a more permanent solution to providing school space and have a designed 40-year life span, said the ministry.

The provincial government provided funding of $5.28 million for five new modular classrooms, and School District 91 Nechako Lakes committed $2 million to the renova-tion of the remaining part of the orig-inal building. The school district and the Ministry of Education signed an agreement in April 2013.

Initial demolition of the original building started in the fall of 2013, and the new modular classes arrived during the summer of 2014.

Students and staff have already moved to a new part of the building, but the revitalization is only partially complete. Watt said they are hoping to have their common area - which includes a multipurpose room and a kitchen - ready to use by Nov. 24. The gym, however, might only be

done around the new year.The revitalization project was original-

ly scheduled to be completed by Septem-ber 2014, but due to delays, it might not

be finished before January 2015.“It’s taking a little longer,” said Watt.

“But once it’s done, it’s going to be a fab-ulous facility.”

Watt said the new building will be a “21st-century facility,” equipped with

computers, Wi-Fi and smart boards.”

“Pretty much what they are going to see is a much more modern facility,” he said.

This new five-classroom mod-ular project is part of the B.C. government’s $16.91-million modular school pilot program to renew aging infrastructures in rural B.C.

“I’m thrilled that Nechako Lakes Board of Education and Granisle residents are part of government’s modular school pilot program,” said Minister of Education Don McRae in a

press release. “Babine’s students and staff will have a safe, modern school close to home.”

John Rustad, MLA for Nechako Lakes, said in a press release that Babine Ele-mentary-Secondary School’s replacement has been a “high priority” for him.

“I know the installation of new modu-lar classroom space means a great deal to Granisle and Tachet reserve families,” said Rustad. “It’s a long bus ride from Granisle to Burns Lake and I am glad students have a modern school close to home. From a safety perspective and a distance perspective, I think it’s great that we have been able to find a solution for those students.”

Some of the school’s secondary stu-dents have been shooting short videos to document the progress of building’s revitalization. Community members can check the videos by visiting http://www.sd91.bc.ca/babine_re-vitalization.

The ex-plosions in Burns Lake and Prince

George sawmills in 2012 prompted a series of follow up actions by industry and government.

According to WorkSafeBC, one key step to prevent future in-cidents is to focus on industry practices for wood dust. In 2012, WorkSafeBC released a 395 page report solely focussed on safe-ly dealing with workplace wood dust accumulation. The report zeros in on the best practices to deal with wood dust build up and details housekeeping standards, equipment to combat wood dust and includes examples of current industry practices from several sawmills.

In May, 2014, a WorkSafeBC officer observed a combustible dust violation during an inspection at West Fraser Mills Ltd., lo-cated in Quesnel, B.C. The violation related to Section 5.81 of

the Occupational Health and Safety Regulation. According to the regulation, "If combustible dust collects in a building or structure or on machinery or equipment, it must be safely removed before accumulation of the dust could cause a fire or explosion."

On Sept. 29, 2014, WorkSafeBC imposed a $75,000 penalty on the mill.

Tara Knight, Communications Officer for West Fraser Mills, said a notice of appeal has been filed with WorkSafeBC and the company is requesting a review of the related administrative pen-alty.

"In this case, we were very disappointed to receive orders that we do not believe accurately reflected the state of the mill's op-eration," said Knight in a statement.

"The employees at West Fraser are very dedicated and proud of their efforts to maintain a safe workplace at the mills," said Knight. "Across our mills, we have invested more than $30 mil-lion dollars since 2012 to improve our mill's dust equipment, cleanup protocols, employee training and internal inspection activities, in addition to implementing the voluntary Wood Dust Mitigation and Control Audit this year."

Fraudsters posing as BC Hydro employees con-tinue to contact customers across British Columbia by telephone in an attempt to steal money from residents and small businesses – particularly res-taurants.

BC Hydro initially warned customers of the scam in early September. Since then, more custom-ers have come forward with additional details. Ac-cording to reports, the fraudulent calls may come from a 1-800 phone number. The customer’s call display may show BC Hydro or display a legitimate BC Hydro phone number. This is done through “spoofing.”

The caller demands immediate payment to avoid disconnection and suggests the customer purchase a cash gift card and call back to provide the serial number on the back of the card.

BC Hydro is reminding customers that it does not collect credit card or bank account information over the telephone and BC Hydro does not take payment from cash gift cards. Customers are also reminded that if they receive a call from someone represent-ing BC Hydro and they doubt the authenticity of the call, they should hang up and call back BC Hydro at 1-800-BCHYDRO or 1-800-224-9376.

If an account is in arrears, BC Hydro will send several notices through the mail asking for payment and also use an automated dialer to remind custom-ers to make a payment before electricity supply is impacted. Customers can check their account status online through bchydro.com.

BC Hydro customers are asked to report these calls by calling 1-800-BC-HYDRO.

Elise from t P10

The talented teenager first started skiing when she was two years old. Her family owns a ski cabin in Smithers and her par-ents - who are both coaches - have always encouraged their children to pursue sports.

“We pushed our children to try as many different sports as they could, but skiing and snowboarding were a passion,” said Dube’s mother Patti. “It’s what they grew up doing.”

When Elise was nine years old, she was introduced to snowboarding. She prac-ticed both skiing and snowboarding for about two years, but later decided snow-boarding was her strong suit.

During her high school years, snow-boarding became more than just a passion as she starting competing in provincial

championships. She won gold at the B.C. School Sports (BCSS) High School Pro-vincial Championship for two years in a row.

The Grade 12 student earned a position in the B.C. Snowboarding team in May 2014. Since then, Dube has balanced a busy schedule of school chores as well as various training camps.

“She misses a lot of school because she does a lot of sports,” said her mother. “And that’s her big struggle this year, to manage training while having good grades.”

One of the training camps Elise attend-ed this year was in Chile, South America. She was there with the B.C. Snowboard-ing team in August 2014 for two and a half weeks. Elise said being accepted for the B.C. Snowboarding team was both an honour and a huge commitment.

“I was very excited, but at first I was

unsure because I knew it would be a lot of money,” she said.

Dube receives no assistance in funding for any of her trips.

“We spent a lot of money so far and she hasn’t even started competing,” said Patti.

Even with the assistance of three spon-sors - Rayz Board Shop, Smithers Ski and Snowboard Club and Beyond Fit Fitness Studio - her mother said money is still tight to cover all travel and equipment ex-penses.

In order to ensure Elise continues pur-suing her dreams, the Dube’s have set up a bank account at Bulkley Valley Credit Union in Burns Lake specifically for do-nations.

If anyone is interested in contributing to Elise’s snowboarding career, simply deposit money in her name directly at the bank.

Local student prepares for EuropeThe Burns Lake Bantam Bruins played against the Smithers Storm on Saturday Nov. 1 at the Burns Lake Arena. Smithers had a close win of 8-7. On Sunday, Burns Lake had better luck in Houston playing against the Houston Flyers, winning 7-2. The games are part of the North West District League.

Are you getting the influenza vaccine this year? For most of us, influenza will cause a

few days of fever, cough and generally feeling unwell.

But for some, this highly contagious re-spiratory disease can lead to severe com-

plications requiring hospitalization, or even to death.

This fall, the National Advisory Com-mittee on Immunization (NACI) recom-mends that all Canadians six months of

age and older receive the seasonal influ-enza vaccine. The seasonal influenza vac-cine is “safe and the most effective way of preventing the spread of influenza,” ac-cording to Immunize Canada.

However, many Canadians are skeptical of the benefits provided by the influenza vaccine.

Here’s what people in Burns Lake had to say...

John nuefeld

Sometimes when a child receives an Op-eration Christmas Child shoe box, the school supplies in it enables her to finally be able to attend school. A few small tools may set a boy on a course to de-velop skills in a trade as he grows older.

Operation Christmas Child has been sup-ported by our commu-nity for almost 15 years. The total number of shoe boxes we have sent over the last six years

has been 3,834. That’s an average of 639 an-nually. Just think, each box touches the life of a child with God’s love. For many, this will be the only gift they re-ceive. Others some-times receive as little as an orange or apple.

Shoe boxes are easy to pack. Five, ten, or fifteen small items, such as school supplies, toys, games, clothes, toilet-ries and tools, can mean so much to a needy child in a developing country.

Boxes from Canada, this year, will be sent

to the following coun-tries: Haiti, Guatemala, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Venezuela, Chile, Uruguay, Sen-egal, Guinea Bissau, Si-erra Leone, Equatorial Guinea, and Guinea.

It's never too early to pack shoe boxes. Some people like to shop throughout the year, looking for bargains. Then it doesn't feel like they're spending a lot of money all at once---even if they plan on fill-ing many boxes.

Have you thought of teaching your child the

value of giving to others in need? Packing shoe boxes together with a child can be a great teachable moment. Or, have you considered getting together with some friends for a shoe box packing party? Some families already do this.

A shoe box can liter-ally change a life. One lad received a soccer ball (with pump) and began teaching soccer skills to other children until he was having a major positive impact in his community.

If you've never filled a shoe box, why not start now. Shoe boxes and brochures can be picked up at local stores or churches. Or, you can fill a regular shoe or boot box that is sitting around at home. Just follow the instructions in the brochure. Grey-hound is graciously al-lowing shoe boxes to be dropped off there from Nov. 10-22.

For more information, contact John or Donna Neufeld at 250-692-7949 or go on the web to SamaritansPurse.ca

WORD SEARCH

SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22: Scorpio, you are better at dealing with things when they’re out in the light of day. You don’t like to be secretive, nor do you like the idea of others keeping secrets.

SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21: Sagittarius, do not look at a current problem as something that will always block your success and happiness. Instead, use this obstacle as a way to get your bearings..

CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20: Capricorn, though you may feel like lashing out at others, this week you show an impressive amount of self-restraint. Get through the week, and things will turn around.

AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18: The messages you are receiving from everyone around you seem mottled and mixed, Aquarius. Instead of socializing with oth-ers, maybe you just need some alone time.

PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20: Pisces, speak up if you do not feel you are receiving enough emotional support from your closest allies. Maybe they do not know how you’re feeling.

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20: Conflicting messages confuse you this week, Ar-ies. Just don’t let this confusion keep you from doing what you think is right. Choose a course and stick with it.

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21: Don’t be too hard on yourself this week, Taurus. You really do not need to push yourself unless you are feeling motivated to do so. If you feel like relaxing, so be it.

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21: Gemini, stick to the outskirts of the room and be a quiet observer of what’s going on around you instead of being the center of attention. You may enjoy being a fly on the wall for a change.

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22: Cancer, this week you may feel an unusual need to be noticed and appreciated by others. Embrace the spotlight and make the most of this opportunity to share your thoughts.

LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23: Leo, you may find it hard to establish your priorities this week, but you have a good head on your shoulders and will figure out the path to take. Give yourself a chance to have fun.

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22: Virgo, do the right thing even if it costs you some-thing emotionally. Your actions may be carefully monitored, and someone is learning by your example.

LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23: Libra, try your hardest to make a tricky set of circum-stances work to your advantage. Working with a partner is a great way to get things done.

“Does your company meet the Work Safe BC requirements for Bullying and Harassment Awareness?”

Please contact Jim, at 250-692-9235 if you wish to register your company for this training.

Or pre-register your company at [email protected]

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.

Windows Sticky NotesMost of us are familiar with sticky notes, those little slips of paper with adhesive on the back that tend to overrun our desks. To help with note taking, most newer versions of Windows have Sticky Notes, too. To access them, just bring up the Start Menu (Or the Start Screen in Windows 8) and in the Search field type “Sticky Notes”. Click on the resulting icon and you will get a nice little yellow sticky note on your desktop. You can move it anywhere on the desktop, resize it to whatever dimensions you need, and if you right click on it you can even change the color. There are two buttons at the top of each sticky note, a + sign, which will make a new note for you, and a X which will delete that particular note. To close all the sticky notes without losing the information in them, find the Sticky Note icon on your Taskbar, right click on it, and select Close. When you open the program again the notes and their contents will be back in the same spots as before. By default the notes use a rather odd font, and there’s no direct way to change it. However if you open up a text editing program like Word or Wordpad, type a few words, change the font to what you prefer, then copy and past those words into the Sticky note, it’ll keep the new font for all following words.
