North island man receives a heavy fine

FLAVIO NIENOW Members of the public are now being asked to help document moose winter tick infestations by completing and submitting an online moose winter tick survey before April 30, 2015.

The survey will help B.C.’s Wildlife Health Program staff monitor the number of moose affected with these common ticks, and the extent to which they are affected around the province.

Mike Bridger, Project Coordinator for the provincial moose winter tick surveillance program, said that currently there is “very little data” for tick infestations around the province.

“Most of the information on tick distribution and severity is anecdotal at this point,” he said. “We’re hoping by developing this program that we can acquire some baseline data to observe changes in the distribution and severity of tick infestations from year to year.”

This year’s pilot project will monitor the number of animals with hair loss and the extent of hair loss to estimate winter tick prevalence and distribution.

WorkSafeBC makes progress in implementing recommendations WorkSafeBC has successfully implemented 23 recommendations from the review and action plan, a report intended to make sawmills safer across the province

Flavio Nienow WorkSafeBC has fully implemented 23 recommendations of the review and action plan report, which was prepared by special adviser Gordon Macatee.

In his report, Macatee provided 43 recommendations that were fully accepted by WorkSafeBC’s board of directors and Shirley Bond, Minister of Jobs, Tourism and Skills Training and Minister Responsible for Labour in July 2014.

The purpose of the recommendations are to ensure that an investigation model is in place that will support both cause and prosecutorial investigations; ensure that B.C.’s sawmills are safe places to work; and ensure a world class inspection and investigation regime at WorkSafeBC. Key milestones achieved since Macatee’s first progress report was issued in December 2014, include: • Combustible dust: considerable progress has been made to ensure employers address dust mitigation and control in the wood products manufacturing industry; • Policies have been updated to provide clarity and consistency in relation to the mitigation and control of wood dust and inspection protocols;

• A focused inspection initiative of sawmills and pellet mills ran from Oct. 1, 2014 to Jan. 31, 2015. Over the 17-week period of the initiative, results indicate that there has been a significant improvement in compliance and that the wood manufacturing industry continues to take positive steps towards managing combustible dust in the long term for all types of mills; • Industry has expressed support for establishing a health and safety association for the wood products manufacturing industry, which would provide continued focus on training and support the sharing of best practices; • Enhanced training: enhanced training of WorkSafeBC officers and managers has been completed in the areas of major case management, investigation techniques, penalty process management and collaboration skills; • A memorandum of understanding has been developed with the office of the fire commissioner and the B.C. safety authority to ensure WorkSafeBC is informed when there is a fire at a workplace in B.C.; • Fire Inspection and Prevention Initiative funding has been extended by WorkSafeBC’s board of directors for two more years; • Developing technology: tools have been developed to make data sharing between partners and jurisdictions possible to help employer and industry leaders proactively plan for and manage emerging issues.

Among other improvements, the employer safety planning toolkit, the serious injury guided dashboard and the industry safety information centre have all been developed or enhanced.

In addition, eight more recommendations are in progress and are on track to be completed as scheduled. Macatee will continue to oversee the implementation of his recommendations until they are fully completed. His next progress report will be issued in April 2015. Macatee’s interim report on the WorkSafeBC review and action plan, as well as the latest implementation status report, will be available at WorkSafeBC.com

Pay down student loan or else

Bullying doesn’t end at school Last Wednesday was pink shirt day in Canada. Children from all across the country went to school wearing pink in a symbolic gesture to stand up against bullying.

While it certainly looks cute, I wonder if we are actually getting the point across to prevent bullying. Are we doing enough? According to the Canadian Institutes of Health Research, we are not even close to ending bullying.

At least one in three adolescent students in Canada have reported being bullied recently. In fact, Canada has the ninth highest rate of bullying in the 13-years-olds category on a scale of 35 countries.

The rate of discrimination is even higher among students who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans-identified, two-spirited, queer or questioning (LGBTQ). A study commissioned by the Egale Canada Human Rights Trust suggests that if you are a sexual minority student in a Canadian school, it is highly likely that you will hear insulting things about your sexual orientation. According to the study, 74 per cent of trans students and 55 per cent of sexual minority students reported having been verbally harassed about their gender expression; and 20 per cent of LGBTQ youth reported being physically harassed.

Bullying can take many forms, and it doesn’t necessarily originate from students. Almost 10 per cent of LGBTQ students reported having heard homophobic comments from teachers daily or weekly.

The bottom line is that almost two thirds of LGBTQ students in Canada reported feeling unsafe at school, and this is an issue that needs to be addressed, specially when you consider that the risk of suicide is considerably higher among the LGBTQ youth.

One type of organization that has proven to be effective in making students feel safer at schools are gay-straight alliances (GSAs). GSAs are official student clubs with LGBTQ and heterosexual student membership and typically one or two teachers who serve as faculty advisors. These groups provide a safe space for LGBTQ students to create projects and activities that will engage sexual minorities and make them feel welcomed.

I haven’t done much research in British Columbia, but schools in rural areas in the prairie provinces still have a long way to go in implementing GSAs. While researching about the issue in Saskatchewan, for example, I found that many school staff did not seem to understand the importance of a GSA (and ironically, all students wore pink on pink shirt day).

One school principal I interviewed told me his school did not need a GSA because “there were no gay students in his school” (he must have had super powers to know the sexual orientation of all students).

But the most interesting thing about bullying (and this is actually a new concept for me), is that bullying does not end at high school.

According to the Canadian Institutes of Health Research, 40 per cent of Canadian workers experience bullying on a weekly basis. After speaking to someone who provides antibullying training for companies in the Lakes District, I learned that bullying at the workplace is a lot harder to identify.

We all know how to identify sexual harassment, for example, but bullying can be a lot more subtle at the workplace. Even things such as water-cooler talks and not inviting a coworker for events could be classified as bullying.

I sincerely hope we are not just wearing pink once a year and forgetting that bullying is a real issue (not only in schools). Let’s expand this conversation so we can be able to identify and put an end to bullying in all forms.

CMCA AUDITED

In a recent speech, Premier Christy Clark quipped that while teenagers tend to be lazy, there is a limit.

If your kid is still on the couch after age 30, she said, he’s not a teenager any more. “He’s a New Democrat.”

Clark’s ‘get off the couch and get a job’ message is now being translated into government policy. The B.C. government is using one of the few tools available to it to track down people who aren’t paying off their student loans, by linking defaulted debt to driver’s licence renewals.

There are “hardship” provisions for those who don’t have a job. ICBC will only refuse to renew a driver’s licence or vehicle plates for those who have let their student debt go for a year without

making some effort to deal with it.

Student debt collection is a long-standing problem for the province, with about $185 million currently on the books as defaulted and unpaid. Students naturally move around after completing their studies, and once the six-month grace period for beginning to repay student loans expires, finding those who aren’t paying becomes a costly effort.

Historically governments sent defaulted debt to collection agencies. Last year $17.3 million was collected. How big is student debt these days? The subject was discussed briefly in the legislature last week. In question period, NDP leader John Horgan reminded the government that tuition fees have doubled over the past decade, and cited a Bank of Montreal estimate that the average university student emerges from a four-year program owing $35,000 in student loans.

With his usual modesty and tact, Advanced Education Minister Andrew Wilkinson dismissed Horgan’s accusation that he is indifferent to the plight of students. Wilkinson noted that the Bank of Montreal surveyed 602 students across Canada, and only 78 of them were in B.C. “To clarify this, and to address the cackling chickens on the other side, we have 430,000 students in our system,” Wilkinson said. “Some of them are part-time; some of them are on short courses. We have 180,000 students who are in the system full-time and eligible for student aid.

“Of those 180,000 students, 45,000 turn to the province for financial aid – meaning that 75 per cent of students, more than what was quoted on the CBC yesterday, go through their education without incurring debt through the provincial student aid program.”

Whatever the amount owing is for an individual, it’s a debt that will be more difficult to avoid paying. The province has long used the withholding of driving privileges to collect unpaid provincial court fines, and that was recently extended to those who are 90 days in arrears on $25 or more worth of Lower Mainland bridge tolls.

This student debt collection move follows efforts to match up post-secondary funding to areas of employment demand. In an era where misguided university professors use their positions to organize violent protests against job-creating projects, the messages are similar.

Variations of this productivity theme are being heard from governments across North America. The baby boomers are retiring. We are bringing in temporary foreign workers, not because of some right-wing plot, but because too many people growing up in our society refuse to do an increasing range of jobs. We have an education system – and media – that encourages people to complain and make demands to get what they want. And we are seeing the results of all of this. There was a U.S. president once who said, “Ask not what your country can do for you. Ask what you can do for your country.”

Moose winter tick to be monitored

MOOSE from ▼ P1 many ticks are present,” he explained.

Survey participants are being asked to observe the amount of hair loss occurring on moose and check the survey box which most describes the animal ranging from “no loss” to “ghost” (hair loss over most of the body).

Winter tick infestations are generally observed on moose during the months of February through April. This type of tick spends the winter on one moose and there can be as many as tens of thousands on one animal at a time.

As the ticks mature, they feed on the animal’s blood. In late winter, the irritation results in moose scratching and grooming themselves excessively, resulting in hair loss and less foraging.

“This behaviour takes valuable time away from feeding, resting, or being vigilant for predators,” explained Bridger. “This can often result in death by starvation or predation.”

There is no widely used treatment for tick infested moose.

“There are medications called acaricides that are commonly used to treat domestic livestock for tick infestations. However, the application of such medications to our wild moose populations at a large scale would be very difficult logistically,” he said.

In a period of three years, the moose population in B.C. declined over 14 per cent. The 2014 estimate for B.C.’s moose population was from 120,000 to 205,000 with an average range of 162,500. In 2011, the estimate was from 145,000 to 235,000 with an average range of 190,000.

In 2011/12, a survey of the Bulkley Valley Lakes District confirmed that the moose population had declined by 20 per cent since 2004, according to a report from the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations.

Bridger said ticks are associated with climatic conditions, and generally thrive during mild winters with low snow pack.

“If we see climate change occurring in B.C. with warmer temperatures, it is possible that ticks may expand in to new areas and the severity of the infestations may increase,” he said.

Anyone interested in contributing to the surveillance program can obtain a copy of the survey by contacting Mike Bridger at bridger@unbc.ca, 250-961-5869 or visiting http://www.env.gov.bc.ca/ fw/public-consultation/moose-winter-tick/

Henry Robinson Adams July 9, 1924-February 7, 2015

Henry Robinson Adams, 90, passed away peacefully on February 7, 2015, surrounded by his family. He was a long time resident of Colleymount. Born and raised in Riverside, CA, he was predeceased by his parents, Henry F. Adams and Helen R. Dales, and sister, Ann Karlsson LeFever.

Henry was a remarkable man, who accomplished a great deal on this earth, as a Merchant Marine and US Naval Officer, a teacher, a rancher and most important to him, as a husband and father.

As a teenager, he worked in his Grandparents’ orange groves, and had his own small farm with a team of horses. Henry joined the US Maritime Service on his 18th birthday in 1942. During his first tour at sea, his ship was torpedoed by an enemy submarine, and sunk. He was one of eight survivors. He traveled the world while in the Merchant Marines. His journals and stories from this period of his life are fascinating, and include handling of the ships’ medicine chest and false imprisonment twice in the middle east. His awards for his merchant marine service include American Victory, Philippine Liberation, Pacific, Atlantic and Caribbean service during WW II. In 1949, he rode a converted bicycle/motorcycle from California northward, with the intent of buying land in Alaska. This broke down in British Columbia. He ended up working as a farm hand for Charlie Hunter in Colleymount for a year. He fell in love with the land; this became a life long passion of his, that determined much of the course of his life. He purchased 957 acres along beautiful Francois Lake. He was 23 years old. Many times during this period of his life, he would return to sea to earn money to finance his ranch, his college education and the education of his sister, Ann. In 1954, he married his lovely wife, Joanne, a teacher from Riverside. Joanne and Henry raised their three children in Pacifica from 1961-1984.

In 1953 he was called to active duty in the Navy on the US Pickaway (1953-1956), as first lieutenant and navigator. In 1956 he was transferred to Explosives Ordnance Disposal, and served as an E.O.D. and diver officer at the U.S. Naval Weapons Station in Concord for three years. His final tour of active duty was as Instructor/ Supervisor of the Nuclear Weapons Disposal School in Indianhead, Maryland. In 1961, he left active duty for the reserves, and later became the commanding officer of Mobile Inshore Undersea Warfare 1820, San Jose, CA, from1968-1971. He re-qualified as a SCUBA and second class deep sea diver every year from 1957-1977. When he retired at age 53, he was the oldest qualified diver in the US Naval Reserve, of which he was justly proud. Navy awards included Korean War and American Defense. He was noted for his professionalism, superior leadership and personal responsibility.

Henry completed his education in 1971, earning a M.A. in Industrial Arts from San Francisco State University. He taught math and industrial arts at Mills High School in Millbrae, CA from 1964-1984. He was admired for his innovations in developing new courses for his students, and his remarkable skill and patience in teaching. He was loved by his students, and was voted “Teacher of the Year” in 1974.

Throughout his Merchant Marine, Navy and teaching career, he spent as much time as he could on his beloved ranch. As soon as the teaching/school year ended, they would journey north, with a trailer full of things he had made or collected, (mostly from decommissioned navy ships), to place in his home or use on the ranch. He also built many outbuildings, machine contraptions that he welded together, a harbor, and many boats. With great admiration for the broad axe skill of early Finnish settlers, he carefully deconstructed and rebuilt a historic log cabin on his land. He had a great love of early farm equipment, which he would buy at auction. He later donated a portion of this to the museum in Burns Lake. During the years that he was building his home, his young family rented many different places in Colleymount. Joanne and the children worked alongside Henry. Hugh and Myles Shelford managed his cattle, a good partnership that endured for many years. Mary, Jane and Bill remember time spent in Colleymount as some of the happiest of their childhood.

In 1984, he and Joanne left California and moved full time to their beloved ranch, enjoying a very active retirement. They had dual US/Canadian citizenship. Henry continued to build and create. They raised cattle and horses, both Norwegian Fjords and Clydesdales.

Henry was very physically fit, and continued to exercise with weights into his late 70’s. He actively served the community, volunteering doing diving rescue with the RCMP, crisis line counselor, and served in different leadership roles in both the Eagle Creek Recreation Committee, the Fall Fair Association and the Rod and Gun Club. He faithfully volunteered and maintained a weather station for Government Canada on his ranch. He had his own occasional column in the Lakes District News. He was also active in 4-H, Sea Scouts, Tweedsmuir Lodge, and the Canadian Legion. He was an advocate for horse logging, from both an ecological and small scale economic standpoint. He purchased, planted and watered trees at Eagle Creek. In 1992, he was awarded the Commemorative Medal for the 125th Anniversary of Canada, in ‘recognition of significant contribution to compatriots, community and to Canada’, by the Governor General of Canada. In 2006, Henry and Joanne moved back to California to be closer to family.

Left to cherish Henry’s memory are his beloved and devoted wife of 60 years, Joanne Shearer Adams, his daughter Mary Kaufman of Redwood City, CA, daughter Jane Adams (Andy Hyde) of Kalispell, MT, and son William Adams, of Surrey, B.C. He was cherished by his adoring grandchildren, Anneliese, Kimberly, Sara and John Kaufman, and Molly Adams-Hyde.

Henry had indefatigable energy and a strong work ethic, as well as great enthusiasm and joy for life. He will be long remembered for his great sense of honor, duty and loyalty to both his country and family. He deeply believed in our responsibility to serve our community and world. His greatest pleasure was time spent with his wife, children and grandchildren.

A memorial celebration of life is being held on Sunday, March 1 at Trinity Presbyterian Church, in San Carlos, CA. Henry’s wish was to have his ashes scattered on the waters of his beloved Francois Lake. His family are planning to journey to Colleymount this coming summer to honor this final request, and to gather with those who knew Henry to celebrate his life in a place that he loved.

Province digs deeper into ICBC, Hydro piggy banks Jeff Nagel The B.C. government intends to pull more money out of ICBC in the years ahead.

The annual dividend from the public auto insurer – which goes into general government revenue despite repeated demands from critics for lower premiums instead – is estimated at $160 million a year in each of 2015, 2016 and 2017, according to budget documents.

That's an increase from estimates of $155 million for 2015 and $125 million for 2016 in last year's budget.

By the end of 2017, the province will have taken $1.5 billion from ICBC coffers since 2010.

Critics accused the government of building its budget surplus by having Crown corporations like ICBC and BC Hydro charge customers more than is required. Electricity rates are rising six per cent while BC Hydro's net income climbs from $549 million last year to about $700 million by 2017. Energy Minister Bill Bennett has promised to eventually reduce and eliminate the Hydro transfers.

The pattern of service fee increases and income tax restraint is a recurring one in B.C. budgets.

Flavio Nienow Two special Olympics athletes from Burns Lake brought back some hardware from the 2015 Special Olympics B.C. Winter Games held in Kamloops from Feb. 19 to 22.

Danny Tress and Vanessa Redwood, from Burns Lake, won five medals between the two after competing in snowshoe events.

Tress earned a gold medal in the 50 metre sprint, a silver medal in the 100 metre sprint, and had a personal best time in the 100 metre sprint.

"It was a surprise that I won; I just kept on going," said Tress. "When I won I was very, very happy."

Redwood earned a gold medal in the 50 metre sprint, a gold medal in the 200 metre sprint (personal best time) plus a silver in

team relay event.

Tress and Redwood travelled to Kamloops with their coach Tina Giesbrecht, who is a teacher at Lakes District Secondary School in Burns Lake. Giesbrecht said both athletes gave their best performance at the winter games.

"It was a long and tiring four days but I am extremely proud of how hard Danny and Vanessa worked, and how well they represented Burns Lake," she said. "They have been working hard to perfect quick starts and sprinting through the finish line as well as building stamina and strength."

Susie, mother of Danny Tress, said coach Giesbrecht has worked hard to prepare the athletes for the games in Kamloops.

"Tina took time off work to meet with the athletes for practice," said Susie. "We are

Roots, western and folk music from Alberta, in the tradition of John Prine and Steve Earle!

Winter carnival day at WKE

and The Blue Collars

William Konkin Elementary students celebrated winter carnival day on Feb. 24 with a delicious pancake breakfast. Approximately 25 volunteers, including RCMP officers and parents, helped cook and serve the meals to over 250 students and staff members. The event was a contribution from the Canadian Parents for French (CPF) to the winter carnival day. CPF is a national network of volunteers dedicated to the promotion and creation of french-second-language learning opportunities for young Canadians. WKE has currently 76 french immersion students.

In 10 years as a working musician, John has released 5 albums, captured a Juno nomination for Best Traditional/ Roots album, and a Canadian Folk Music Award for Album of the Year. “You’re dead a long time” is John’s mantra: “so you better get out there and play.” John Wort Hannam and The Blue Collars’ winsome and lonesome style of acoustic roots sounds like well-written prose, set to music. John is proudly Canadian, and one of the torch-bearers of a songwriting tradition that includes the likes of John Prine, Louden Wainwright III and Steve Earle.

In fact, enough to supply LNG export operations and domestic needs for 150 years, so it makes sense to sell some of it

Natural gas has been produced safely in B.C. for more than 60 years. It is as much a part of our resource wealth as forestry and fishing. And like forestry and fishing, the natural gas sector provides thousands of stable, well-paid jobs for British Columbians who work for gas producers in the Northeast and for suppliers and service providers throughout the province.

The industry also generates tax revenue to help pay for social services and infrastructure like salaries for nurses and teachers, and new roads, schools and hospitals. But unlike

China alone expects to use 17.5 trillion cubic feet of natural gas a year by 2040 – three times more than in 2012

(

WE’VE GOT NATURAL GAS...

forestry and fishing, which are now mature industries, natural gas is entering what the International Energy Agency has described as The Golden Age of Gas. Demand is rising rapidly and B.C. is ideally positioned to meet some of it.

Exporting B.C.’s natural gas is nothing new; it was first transported via Vancouver to the U.S. in 1957 and the U.S. has remained our main market ever since. But with the U.S. producing more of its own gas it now makes sense to sell our surplus overseas where there’s a demand. The only difference is that the gas must be converted into a liquid so it can be shipped.

That’s why B.C. is developing a new industry to produce LNG.

The BC LNG Alliance is the voice of British Columbia’s new LNG export industry. Our mission is to foster the growth of a safe, environmentally responsible and globally competitive LNG industry in British Columbia and Canada.

Telus to charge customers who exceed their monthly data allowance as of March 30, 2015

Daylight Savings Time Begins...

Don’t forget on Saturday night you have to set your clocks ahead one hour!

What’s your next move?

TAX-FREE SAVINGS ACCOUNT

Flavio Nienow Telus issued a release on Feb. 19, 2015, stating that the company will start charging home Internet customers who exceed their monthly data plan allowance starting March 30, 2015.

According to their statement, the vast majority of Internet customers - more than four out of five customers stay within their monthly data allowance. However, a small number of customers regularly exceed their monthly data allowance.

"As high speed networks have evolved, the consumption of video over the Internet has dramatically increased.

As a result, in the last 16 months alone our customers’ monthly Internet data usage has more than doubled."

The new charges are designed to ensure that the amount customers pay for Internet service reflects their actual data consumption.

"You pay for what you use," said the statement.

For customers who go over their monthly data allowance, Telus will charge an additional $5 for the first 50 gigabytes (GB) of data, and $10 for each additional 50 GB. The company is also introducing unlimited data add-ons for $15 a month for customers with Telus TV, and $30 a month for other Internet customers.

"Most Telus customers are already on an Internet plan that meets their current needs.

Only those that exceed their plan – the heaviest Internet users – will incur an additional charge. If you are one of those customers, you will be notified before being charged," said the statement. For more information, visit telus. com/internetusage.

Pink shirt day at WKE William Konkin Elementary students stood up against bullying on Feb. 25, 2015. Dozens of students came to school wearing pink, and they also wrote messages of support to the everyday victims of bullying. The messages were placed on a wall for everyone to see. The idea of pink shirt day started after two high school students from Nova Scotia - David Shepherd and Travis Price - organized a school protest. The Nova Scotia students encouraged their classmates to wear pink to support a grade nine boy who had been being bullied for wearing a pink shirt.

Great weather and an excellent snowpack created perfect conditions at the 2015 Lakes Loppet and Family Marathon. The event took place on March 1, 2015, at the Omineca Ski Club. The marathon gathered 64 skiers aged three to 73 to complete various courses ranging in distance from three to 50 km. Photo below on the right shows the two 50 km winners – Nikki Kassels of Prince George and Alex Nemethy of Vanderhoof. The 50 km track was a fast one, with skiers finishing between 2:23 and 4:26 hours. The day of skiing was followed by a hot meal and many generous door prizes that were donated by businesses in Burns Lake.

Lots of attractions coming to town

John Barth Alberta singer-songwriter to perform The final performance in the ninth season of the Lakes District Arts Council (LDAC) takes place on Sunday, March 8 at 7:30 p.m. in the Lakes District Secondary School’s multi purpose room. Alberta singer-songwriter John Wort Hannam and his band, The Blue Collars, perform acoustic roots music in the style of Loudon Wainwright III, John Prine and Steve Earle - but as proud Canadians.

John taught grade nine language arts in Alberta for five years, until one day he heard a record by Loudon Wainwright III. In 1998 he bought a guitar and taught himself to play. In 2002 he quit teaching and began to pursue the dream of being a working musician. The rest, as they say, is (musical) history. Since 2002, John has captured a Juno nomination, and won a Canadian folk music award for album of the year.

“You’re dead a long time,” says John.

“So you better get out there and play.”

Look for posters around town, and LDAC’s ads in the Lakes District News.

Tickets are available at LDFC Printing and Stationery (250-692-3309) and Lakes Artisan Centre (250-692-3344), and at the door. And… a couple of bonuses: the evening’s art exhibition will be a group show by six local visual artists, and LDAC will be announcing the performances to come

in the 2015/16 season - our tenth. To learn more about John Wort Hannam, check out this link: http://johnworthannam.com For this month’s contest...

Annual Lakes District Festival of the Performing Arts just around the corner

To be entered in the draw to win one of two John Wort Hannam CD’s, answer this question - John Wort Hannam has released five CD’s, name the title of any one of John Wort Hannam’s five CD’s. Not sure?

Go to John’s website: http://johnworthannam.com and click on ‘music.’ Send in your answer to jbarth46@telus.net by midnight, Saturday March 7.

local girls enter quilters contest Three Burns Lake girls have entered a Canadian Quilters’ Association contest called Cantik Batiks Youth Challenge 2015. Contestants had to complete a quilt based on the theme ‘my favorite animal.’ In order to participate, the girls needed a sponsor who was a member of the Canadian Quilters’ Association, so Linda Uchacz, owner of Yarn and Sew On, decided to sponsor them and provided some of the material for their quilts. The winners of each category will be featured in the summer 2015 edition of The Canadian Quilter magazine.

Back (L-R): Yarn and Sew On owner Linda Uchacz and grade 12 student Jenna Bett. Front (L-R): grade four students Maggie Davis and Hannah Boeker.

YES CAMP from t P13 Besides canoeing, kayaking, swimming and hiking, Dube said there were also night activities planned such as dances, bonfires and talent shows.

Another important part of the camp is "reflecting." In small groups, participants sit in a comfortable and quiet location to discuss issues that they feel are important.

"I learned how to express myself and be comfortable around new people," said Dube. "I definitely want to go again."

The YES is a charitable, non-partisan organization that provides leadership training to British Columbia’s youth through the support of the province’s co-operative and credit union movement. For over 45 years, the YES has provided a unique learning experience for over 10,000 young people.

The YES offers roots programs for 14-16 year olds and pathways programs for 16-18 year olds.

Camps will be taking place at Lake Cowichan on Vancouver Island in July and August of 2015.

Registration fee of $675 for the week at camp as well as an additional $650 toward travel expenses will be paid by Bulkley Valley Credit Union to the successful applicant.

Anyone interested should submit their application as soon as possible.

PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20: Your demeanor makes it easy for others to enjoy your company, and that will come in handy as your social schedule fills up in the days ahead.

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22: It is sometimes easy to miss the forest for the trees, Virgo. Try taking a step back so you can look at a puzzling project from a new perspective.

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20: You impress everyone with your creativity this week, Aries. Allow this creativity to be the inspiration behind projects you have been putting off of late.

LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23: Libra, you may be searching for a new adventure, but try to appreciate the here and now as well. It’s easy to get swept up in fantasies, but don’t let them carry you too far away.

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21: Keep your goals relatively simple for the next few days, Taurus.

You can benefit from the positive reinforcement of completing tasks and getting things done.

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21: Gemini, you have been immersed in work and are starting to show the ill effects of keeping long hours. Now is a great time to take a few days off or enjoy a mini-vacation.

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22: Cancer, you have a lot to get done, but resist the urge to micromanage every detail, as this could be a surefire path to burnout. You need to take a few breaths.

LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23: Leo, avoid the temptation to get started on another new project. You already have plenty of other things on your plate.

Finish those tasks before moving on to something new.

Notebooks mainly keep themselves cool with a small 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 location of the intake vents, you should always place your notebook on a flat, clean surface while it is running. Putting it on a dusty table will allow it to suck up dust, dirt or pet hair, which can clog the vents or damage the fan.

Blocking the intake vent by using the notebook on a blanket or your lap for prolonged periods can cause the notebook to overheat. If left unchecked this can damage the computer’s ability to cool itself properly, causing the notebook to overheat even when the vents are not covered.

To clean your notebook cooling fan turn the notebook off, then use short, gentle bursts from a can of compressed air to blow into the output vent.

This will clear any blockages off the small radiator inside and allow your computer to breath again.

AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18: Aquarius, you need a few extra people to contribute to a special task, but you do not know who to ask. If you think hard enough, you will know who you can depend on.

In order for a complaint to be heard, it must be received in writing by 4:30 pm on March 6, 2015. If any complaints are received, the Parcel Tax Roll Review Panel will sit at 1:00 pm on Thursday March 12, 2015 in the Board Room of the Regional District of Bulkley-Nechako (37 Third Ave., Burns Lake, B.C.) to consider written complaints received by the deadline.
