Regional district clarifies cardboard ban

An education/ awareness campaign about the ban will be conducted ANDREA CURRIE

Janine Dougall, Director of Environmental Services for the Regional District of Buckley-Nechako, discussed with the Burns Lake council the recently announced plan to ban cardboard from all waste regional transfer stations.

Dougall reiterated the reasoning behind the decision - to promote waste reduction, and to create demand for local recycling and waste management businesses. As of now the official launch date for the ban has been changed to July 1, 2016, adjusted from Jan. 1, 2016, which was altered due to unforeseen challenges.

Dougall wanted to reassure the local institutional/commercial/industrial (ICI) sector that there are already multiple providers of cardboard recycling both regionally and locally, and the next step for the regional district is to create a list of these services in order to make local businesses aware of their options. Dougall also explained that there are ICI bins currently at the local Recycling Depot that businesses can use at a cost, however it is yet to be determined if a longer-term agreement can be reached in order to keep the bins at the depot.

Dougall described how the new recycling depot in Burns Lake is a part ...see VILLAGE COUNCIL ▼ P5

Tensions grow at Unist’ot’en camp

Unist’ot’en camp members evict TransCanada helicopter

FLAVIO NIENOW Unist’ot’en camp members told a TransCanada work crew brought in by helicopter on Sept. 5, 2015, that they had to leave the territory immediately.

ton and has been physically impeding pipeline proponents such as TransCanada and Chevron from entering their territory.

The interaction between camp spokesperson Freda Huson and a TransCanada representative on Sept. 5 was recorded on camera and posted on You Tube.

In the video, Huson hands out an eviction letter to the TransCanada representative while she explains that pipeline work crews are not permitted to enter Unist’ot’en territory. Huson said letters have already been sent to TransCanada months ago explaining the company does not have permission to enter their territory.

CNC Lakes is offering Administrative Assistant and Health Care Assistant.

“We’ve already told them [TransCanada] no, that they can’t access our territory, and they continue to come,” Huson tells the TransCanada representative. “It goes to show what kind of company you work for.”

Huson then calmly explains where the borders of the Unist’ot’en territory are located.

“Right now you guys are trespassing, so I am going to ask you to leave,” she says.

The TransCanada representative said he was trying to conduct “non-invasive testing” for the Coastal GasLink Pipeline project.

First Nations say trophy grizzly hunt continues despite their ban

Coastal First Nations accuse province of not respecting their ban

Flavio Nienow Trophy bear hunting has been banned by First Nations on B.C.’s north and central coast in their traditional territories since 2012.

Despite the Coastal First Nations’ best efforts to ban trophy hunting, grizzly bears continue to be killed in their territories.

“Killing bears for trophy not only threatens a more sustainable local economy, it is an affront on our culture,” said Jason Moody, the Fisheries Manager of the Nuxalk Nation. “We hunt Michael Riis-Christianson photo animals for food, not for sport”.

This massive grizzly was seen fishing for salmon on Babine River.

Hopefully the re-use sheds reopen

The Comfort Zone Flying Dutchman Service

For Appliance and Heating

Flavio Nienow In the story ‘Regional district considers closing the re-use sheds’ published in the Lakes District News’ Dec. 3, 2014, edition, the board of directors of the Regional District of Bulkley-Nechako (RDBN) had postponed the decision to close the reuse sheds until such time that affected communities were consulted.

The RDBN’s department of environmental services had agreed to hold community consultations before any decision was made regarding the re-use sheds. However, a decision to close the re-use sheds located at all regional district solid waste management facilities was announced Sept. 8, 2015, prior to any consultations.

Janine Dougall, Director of Environmental Services for the RDBN, said community meetings were planned to be held in the fall. However, due to the “serious nature of the latest incidents and the liabillaura Blackwell photo ity to the RDBN taxpayer,” the board of directors According to the Regional District of Bulkley-Nechako, the re-use sheds were closed after a chose to close the re-use sheds in advance of the number of troubling incidents directly affecting staff and public health and safety. meetings.

Flying through turbulence

Protest stunts distract from real efforts

Flying is considered one of the safest forms of transportation, but everybody who steps on a plane is uneasy on some level.

That’s what says Patrick Smith, an active airline pilot, air travel blogger and author of the book ‘Cockpit confidential: everything you need to know about air travel.’

Turbulence in particular is one of the main concerns of anxious passengers. But is it actually dangerous?

Last week I decided to visit my brother who lives in a city six hours away from mine (by car). Since there was a major airline ticket sale, I decided to fly instead and get there faster. About three hours before my flight, just as I was packing up, the sky turned dark. I could hear the wind blowing on my window and it was clear that a powerful storm was brewing.

I checked to see if my flight had gotten cancelled, but it hadn’t. Although the flight was delayed by about half an hour, I was still able to fly that day.

Shortly after taking off, a flight attendant announced that people should remain on their seats with their seatbelts fastened (never a good sign). Then she said food and beverages would not be served during flight due to “unstable weather conditions” (definitely not a good sign).

Just when I thought that the flight attendant might have been overreacting, the plane found a rough patch and it became clear why no food was being served.

The plane was violently shaking from side to side, losing altitude drastically (or at least it felt like it), and it lasted several minutes (or maybe it was just a few seconds; it’s hard to tell when you’re sweating, desperately holding tight to your seat and praying).

It was the kind of turbulence that makes people stare at each other wondering if the plane will crash. When it passed, we all smiled at each other in relief and some people attempted to lighten up the mood by making a few jokes (Okay, maybe it was just me).

In his website askthepilot.com, Smith says that although it’s easy to picture the airplane as a helpless dinghy in a stormy sea, a plane cannot be flipped upside-down, thrown into a tailspin or flung from the sky by even the mightiest gust or air pocket. Although turbulence may be scary, Smith assures anxious flyers that pilots do not consider turbulence a dangerous occurrence.

“Turbulence is an aggravating nuisance for everybody, including the crew, but it’s also, for lack of a better term, normal,” he says. “From a pilot’s perspective, it is ordinarily seen as a convenience issue, not a safety issue; when a flight changes altitude in search of smoother conditions, this is by and large in the interest of comfort; the pilots aren’t worried about the wings falling off, they’re trying to keep their customers relaxed and everybody’s coffee where it belongs.”

I don’t know about you, but I loved reading that (In fact, I might take his book with me next time I’m on a plane).

Smith also says that, during turbulence, passengers tend to overestimate the roughness by orders of magnitude. Although it can feel like the plane is losing dramatic altitude at times, altitude, bank, and pitch will change only slightly during turbulence.

“In the cockpit we see just a twitch on the altimeter,” says Smith.

Most of the time, planes will only move up or down about 10 or 20 feet during turbulence.

The reality is that airplanes are engineered to withstand a remarkable amount of punishment, so although turbulence can feel like the end of times, they are no reason for concern.

“I am tired of managing poverty.”

The words of Lake Babine Nation Chief Wilf Adam were quoted by both Aboriginal Relations Minister John Rustad and Premier Christy Clark at their second annual meeting with aboriginal leaders around the province.

In her closing remarks, Clark repeated her aim to continue economic development and resource revenue sharing that have dominated the government’s approach in recent years.

“Let’s eliminate poverty in First Nations communities,” she said, adding “the only way we can fight poverty is to grow the economy.”

Not surprisingly, Clark’s chosen example was the potential of liquefied natural gas development for the Haisla Nation near Kitimat.

That and similar proposals require new gas pipelines. And as is customary in B.C., what people most often hear about are threats and wild claims regarding protests such as the Unist’ot’en camp near Smithers, set up to block a gas pipeline.

There was a round of this in late August, after Grand Chief Stewart Phillip of the militant Union of B.C. Indian Chiefs claimed hundreds of RCMP officers were about to descend on the camp. This echoed previous false claims made by self-styled anarchists such as Victoria’s Zoe Blunt, who has been organizing outside support for the camp for the last couple of years. Media jumped at the prospect of another Gustafson Lake-style confrontation. This prompted an unusual statement from Cpl. Janelle Shoihet of the North District RCMP. “To clarify, the B.C. RCMP has no intention of ‘taking down the camp’ set up by the Unist’ot’en,” she said, emphasizing that police are not taking sides or acting as security for pipeline exploration crews being harassed by protesters, who have token support from a couple of dissident members of a Wet’suwet’en clan.

Four elected chiefs of the Wet’suwet’en issued their own statement, to correct media coverage that represents the Unist’ot’en as speaking for their communities.

“Our Nations support responsible resource development as a way to bring First Nations out of poverty and bring opportunities for our young people,” said Burns Lake Band Chief Dan George.

Wet’suwet’en First Nation Chief Karen Ogen said job and benefit agreements for the Coastal GasLink pipeline were entered into after careful consideration, and she objected to protests from outsiders, some from outside the country.

“Sustainability means standing on our own two feet, providing our young people with good paying jobs, and reducing the 40 to 60 per cent unemployment we now experience,” Ogen said.

Haisla Nation Chief Councillor Ellis Ross has no time for crude oil projects, but he has been working towards gas-related development as long as anyone. Ross spoke out in support of the elected Wet’suwet’en chiefs in their efforts to resolve the dispute with Unist’ot’en members.

“Opposition is the easiest job in the world,” he said. “What is difficult is finding an answer when a First Nations mother has concerns about her child’s future.

“Politicians are quick to shout out sound bites and get into camera shots, but where are the cameras when another First Nations member takes their own life or when they pass away from highway/alcohol related deaths?”

Ross noted that recent court decisions have put B.C. aboriginal leaders in the best position they have ever had, with governments and development project proponents coming to them “with inclusion in mind” after decades of resource development that has passed them by.

You wouldn’t know it most days, but First Nations along both the Coastal GasLink and Pacific Trails gas pipelines have agreed to them.

More aboriginal leaders are getting tired of managing poverty, and misguided protesters.

Was the coroner’s report a sufficient or not?

Editor: Enough time has passed since the coroner’s report of July 31, 2015 after the coroner’s inquest into the deaths and injuries at the Babine Lake Forest Products and Lakeland Mill explosions and fires. People have decided whether this report was a good job or there are some people who believe this report is a whitewash and cover-up and that

they must at least try to point out deficiencies and offer some positive remedial steps.

I am a member of this last group, and I will start with recommendation #7, a reasonable recommendation calling on the company to ensure compliance with the national fire code and ensuring that all fires are recorded and reported to the Joint Occupational Health and Safety Committee (JOHSC).

However, a reasonable person can then reasonably ask, why is there no similar recommendation to the company to ensure compliance with the 153 Francois Lake Drive, P.O. Box 788, Burns Lake, BC V0J 1E0 Workers Compensation Act of B.C.?

Tel: (250) 692-7724 • Fax: (250) 692-7767 • Email: info@blcomfor.com The answer is simple, there is no such recommendation because the company was not in compliance with the Workers Compensation Act of B.C. Specifically, Section 135 of the act that requires the company to proRoad Closure vide each member of the JOHSC at Please be advised that the Mackenzie Lake least eight hours of education leave Road will be temporarily closed due to bridge for health and safety training per replacements at 5.8 km and 7 km.

tion of a Royal Statute as they are when they do not provide the professional training for the JOHSC. If the company claims they have paid for eight hours of training per year per member of the JOHSC then this is easy to verify and audit as called for by recommendation #13 directed to the Steelworkers and WorkSafe.

Further to recommendation #13, if there was no JOHSC educational leave and training, it is then a reasonable question to ask, was there ever a grievance filed against the company for not providing this training as required by law? If there was no such training and there was no grievance filed, then clearly there needs to be remedial training for stewards and business agents to inform them that the grievance procedure is not limited to disputes involving the collective agreement. The grievance procedure can be used when statutes and regulations are being violated. This fits appropriately with the statement in the coroner’s report that there was “a communication breakdown at all levels of the Union” - a politically correct and wooly statement designed not to hurt anyone’s feelings, except of course those people who hoped for and expected some clear statements and complete information.

In my view, the coroner’s report is clear evidence that the coroner was negligent and/ or willfully blind to material facts in this tragedy.

Recommendation #31, the recommendation from the coroner that the Federal Min-

ister of Justice and the Attorney General of Canada should amend the criminal code of Canada I find truly bizarre. Our federal government is hardly about to take seriously any advice from a province like B.C. A province that does not properly train its safety inspectors, a province that does not properly investigate workplace fatalities, a province that does not monitor or enforce compliance with our own Workers Compensation Act (RSBC 1996) Chapter 492.

This province is attempting to create the impression that B.C. could have done more if the federal government had done its job properly. This is disingenuous, political spin doctoring that has no place in a legitimate investigative report.

The coroner’s service and by extension our provincial Ministry of Justice has failed to produce a complete and thorough report at the end of a coroner’s inquest into incidents that caused the deaths and injuries to B.C. workers.

In view the coroner’s demonstrated negligence and/or willful blindness it is my opinion that coroner Newell should be fired and a new report needs to be written that takes into account this new information.

I feel we can not tolerate a coroner’s report that allows farce to masquerade as a legitimate inquiry when men died and many more were injured in what was clearly a preventable accident.

Vaccine reminder for back to school

Tom Fletcher

With communicable diseases such as whooping cough and measles making a comeback, Provincial Health Officer Dr. Perry Kendall is reminding parents to make sure their children’s vaccines are up to date as they return to school.

“By the time a child reaches five or six years old, he or she should have received booster shots that protect against measles, polio, chicken pox, whooping

cough and more, and kids in Grade 6 and 9 should receive follow-up vaccinations,” Kendall said. “This is all part of B.C.’s free, routine immunization program.”

Parents can now sign up for free text message reminders at immunizebc.ca/ reminders, and the website also offers a smartphone app to manage immunization records. Kendall advocates that B.C. should join Ontario and New Brunswick in requiring parents to provide vaccination records when children are enrolled in school.

Vaccinations themselves would not be mandatory, but the records would allow schools to exclude unprotected children during outbreaks of communicable disease, and give public health authorities an opportu-

Coastal GasLink may ask for help from RCMP UNIST’OT’EN from t P1 lead to projects that we do not approve of,” Huson responded.

“It’s going to destroy our lands; we have berry patches here. We have medicine here. The bears live here. The moose live here. We live here. This is my food back here. That’s what they’re trying to destroy, and they don’t have our authority to do that.”

Coastal GasLink Pipeline Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of TransCanada Pipelines Ltd., proposes to develop a natural gas pipeline from near Dawson Creek, B.C., to the proposed LNG Canada liquefied natural gas export facility near Kitimat, B.C. Shela Shapiro, Spokesperson for Coastal GasLink, said the company has been trying to conduct field work on Unist’ot’en territory for the pipeline project and that there are only certain times of the year that this type of work can be conducted.

“We need to complete this [field work] so we can satisfy conditions in our environmental assessment certificate,” she explained.

“Our focus continues to be to engage and work with First Nations groups in identifying the best possible preferred route for this important infrastructure project,” said Shapiro. “As we have done from the beginning of this project, we welcome dialogue with First Nations and others along the pipeline route so we can make the best decisions possible.”

Under the pipeline benefits agreement between the province and Wet’suwet’en First Nation (WFN) regarding the Coastal GasLink Pipeline project, the province could ask WFN to help stop Unist’ot’en camp protestors. By signing the pipeline benefits agreement, WFN agreed to assist the province in seeking to resolve any action that may be taken by any member that is inconsistent with the agreement. Otherwise, WFN could be in breach of their contract and potentially lose their funding.

When asked if Coastal GasLink plans to ask WFN to inter-

vene at the Unist’ot’en camp, Coastal GasLink did not provide a straight answer.

“We’re supportive of Wet’suwet’en First Nations, and we continue to have dialogue with them,” said Shapiro. “We appreciate all of their work in support of the project and in helping us have a better understanding of their culture and traditions.”

President of Coastal GasLink Rick Gateman recently told Lakes District News that involving the RCMP in the Unist’ot’en camp may be inevitable.“We’ll have to notify the RCMP of what we are doing and they will have to do their own response if we’re blockaded,” said Gateman. “We need to get in there [Unist’ot’en territory] and do this late season work.”

The situation escalated last month when the Unist’ot’en camp issued a press release claiming that camp members were preparing for a “large-scale RCMP mass arrest operation.” Huson told The Interior News that a police source had leaked information about the possible operation. In a press release, the B.C. RCMP denied those claims, saying the RCMP had no intention of taking down the camp set up by the Unist’ot’en. Corporal Janelle Shoihet, Media Relations Officer for the RCMP, said that despite what was being portrayed by some media and on social media, the B.C. RCMP remains impartial in this dispute.

“The B.C. RCMP respects the rights of individuals to peacefully protest,” said Shoihet. “We value the Wet’suwet’en culture, the connection to the land and traditions being taught and passed on at the camp, and the importance of the camp to healing.”

Get a head start to your child’s education savings

Families with eligible children will be able to apply for a $1200 education grant from the provincial government to help their children get a head start in pursuing their dreams.

Parents and families can go into almost any credit union in British Columbia to kick-start their education savings through the $1200 B.C. training and education savings grant. The one-time grant of $1200 per eligible child will be deposited into a registered education savings plan (RESP) upon approval of the application.

The Lakes District Branch of the Bulkley Valley Credit Union is a participating branch.

Sandy Doré, Branch Manager, said she has been personally letting eligible members know that they can apply for this grant.

“This is a great plan and people should take advantage of it,” she said.

Doré explained that in order to open a RESP account, credit unions require the child's social insurance number (SIN). The Lakes District Branch also offers application forms so that parents can apply for their child's SIN. To be eligible for the $1200 grant, children must have been born in 2007 or later. Families have three years, or until the day before the child's ninth birthday, to submit an application for the grant.

There is no barrier to low-income families since no matching or additional contributions are required to access the $1200. The province is also working to ensure that low-income families and children in care are able to tap into the grant.

Don Wright, President and CEO of Central 1 Credit Union, said saving for a child's education is one of the most important investments a parent will make.

“This grant provides a great head start, and we're pleased that credit unions across B.C. are the first financial institutions in the province able to make the application widely available to families," he said.

The province is working with other financial institutions so over the coming months they will be able to offer the grant.

Trial date not set for triple murder case

In the story ‘Trial date for triple murder case to be set soon’ published in the Lakes District News' Aug. 19, 2015, edition, the trial date for the case of Rueben Buhler - the man arrested in relation to a triple homicide in Burns Lake – was expected to be determined on Sept. 9, 2015.

However, during the fixed date that took place on Sept. 9 at the Burns Lake Provincial Court, a trial date was not determined. Instead another fixed date was set for Oct. 14, 2015.

Jordan Allingham, Buhler’s lawyer, explained that the defence still has a large volume of disclosure to read before a trial can take place, and the Crown has yet to provide all of the disclosure.

“Once that is reviewed, I will be in a position to determine how much time will be needed for a preliminary inquiry and trial of this matter,” he said.

Allingham expects that on Oct. 14 a date will be set for a preliminary inquiry, which will likely take place around March 2016.

Tempers flared as family members of some of the victims verbally attacked Buhler’s family outside of the Burns Lake Provincial Court while Buhler’s fixed date was taking place

Rueben Buhler’s preliminary hearing will likely be set for March 2016

on Sept. 9, 2015. The victim assistance worker calmed the situation down and eventually everyone left the parking lot.

Buhler has been charged with three counts of second degree murder and remains in custody. Buhler has not had a bail hearing at this stage.

“We will determine whether we will seek his release at an appropriate time,” said Allingham.

On April 27, 2015, at 8:25 a.m., the Burns Lake RCMP attended a residence in the 200 block of Fifth Avenue in Burns Lake after receiving a report of potential foul play. Neighbours said they heard gun shots ring out around 6 a.m. When officers entered the residence, they found three people - one woman and two men dead inside.

“I cannot share anything further at this stage other than the fact Mr. Buhler is presumed to be innocent, has a right to a fair trial, and not to be prejudged before then,” said Allingham. “The public hopefully understands that these matters do take some time to run their course to ensure people are either properly acquitted or properly convicted.”

The identities of all three victims are still not being released.

In the story ' Sockeye salmon count improves' published in the Lakes District News' Aug. 26 edition, after a late sockeye salmon return, Lake Babine Nation was considering opening commercial harvest on Babine Lake.

Lake Babine Nation Chief Wilf Adam said commercial harvest is now permitted with a 20,000 salmon license quota. Chief Adam said that depending on how the harvest goes and the salmon count, the fishing season might be extended even further this year. The sockeye salmon return was particularly late this year. However, even with the improved salmon count estimated at 1.16 million, this year’s sockeye return is still drastically lower than the pre-season estimate of over three million.

The Skeena Fisheries Commission (SFC) has recently sent a letter to Fisheries and Oceans Canada condemning their decision to open commercial fishing in some areas of the Skeena watershed.

“This late opening decision completely undermines and makes a mockery of our months of consultations,” said the SFC in a letter sent to Fisheries and Oceans Canada. “Fisheries and Oceans Canada has, by this action, disregarded any credibility in such consultations.”

The SFC has requested that Fisheries and Oceans Canada cancel the opening of commercial fishery on the Skeena stocks.

Michelle Imbeau, Communications Advisor for Fisheries and Oceans Canada, explained that the unusual run timing of Skeena sockeye led to a “change in the planned harvest method.”

“This [change in the planned harvest method] was to ensure that commercial fishing would be carefully controlled and monitored to ensure careful management of the returning stocks,” said Imbeau.

Chief Adam said he does not oppose commercial fishing on Babine Lake.

“The fish that we’re after are surplus fish that will die in the lake anyway,” said Chief Adam, referring to the enhanced sockeye that go to Babine Lake’s man-made spawning channels.

Chief Adam said Lake Babine Nation will continue to closely monitor the harvest on Babine Lake.

Fort Nelson First Nation wins legal challenge against Nexen oil

Nexen was ordered to cease pumping water for fracking from Tsea Lake

Flavio Nienow

Fort Nelson First Nation (FNFN) has won a potentially precedent-setting legal battle ordering Nexen Inc., an upstream oil and gas company, to cease pumping water from FNFN territory.

FuRniTuRe Tools The Environmental Appeal Board (EAB) cancelled the water licence given to Nexen in 2012 for shale gas fracking in the Horn oveR 8000 iTems... we dare you to come count them!

River Basin. The license allowed Nexen to pump millions of cubic meters of water from Tsea Lake, a small lake about 90 km northeast of Fort Nelson.

7390 Highway 16, Decker Lake 250-698-7686 "Granting this license was a major mistake by the province," said FNFN Chief Liz Logan. "Our members have always used the Tsea Lake area in our territory to hunt, trap, and live on the land.”

Almost 40% of recipients According to Chief Logan, the company pumped water out of Tsea Lake even during drought condiof food bank assistance are tions.

“There were major impacts on the lake, fish, beavers and surrounding environment,” she said. “Water is under the age of 18. a huge concern for us; by approving this license, the province demonstrated it is not protecting the public interest in water."

According to the EAB, the science behind the license was fundamentally flawed in both concept and operation. In addition, the EAB found that the province failed to consult FNFN in good faith and breached its duty to consider the potential impacts on FNFN. Chief Logan said this decision sends a clear message to the B.C. government and to the fracking industry that liquefied natural gas development will not happen at the expense of lakes, rivers and treaty rights.

“The province just can’t arbitrarily be issuing permits without good science, good data and expert opinion, and without meaningfully consulting with us,” she said.

Sept. 14-19, 2015 Although FNFN challenged Nexen’s water license in court, Chief Logan said FNFN has been dealing with the oil and gas industry for decades and is not against economic development in the area. bctfooddrive.org "We want to work with the province and industry on sustainable development in our territory, but we are 1-855-74-BCTFD being ignored," she said. "We have [worked with the province] in the past, and are willing to do so moving forward, as long as our treaty rights are respected and the public interest in environmentally sustainable development is upheld."

The Mormon Church is organizing this food drive again this year. They have Nexen told Lakes District News that the company respects the right of any stakeholder potentially afdistributed bags to homes on Tuesday, September 15th. They will collecting fected by their operations to take steps to ensure their concerns are heard and addressed. them on Saturday, September 19th between 11:00 am and 2:00 pm.

Diane Kossman, Manager of Corporate Communications for Nexen, said the company has implemented an extensive water monitoring and management program to ensure protection of water resources.

“Responsible water management is a priority across all of our operations,” she said. “In Northeast B.C., we’ve emphasized the development and implementation of new processes and technologies to reduce our water use and our impact, and protect water sources.”

Since Nexen had significantly slowed the pace of exploration and development in the region due to depressed commodity prices, Kossman said EAB’s decision does not have any immediate impacts to Nexen’s operations.

“We are in the process of reviewing EAB’s decision and have not made any decisions on next steps,” she said.

“Nexen will be examining our options with respect to securing water rights in the area.”

Calgary-based Nexen, owned by Chinese statecontrolled CNOOC Ltd., was recently ordered to suspend operations on 95 pipelines by the Alberta Energy Regulator. The decision came after one of the largest leaks in Alberta history where about five million litres of emulsion were spilled from a Nexen pipeline at its Long Lake oil-sands project south of Fort McMurray. Earlier this month, Nexen was allowed to of Burns Lake resume operations on 40 www.rotaryburnslake.org of its 95 pipelines which were previously ordered Watch for our monthly “What’s Rotary Up To?” for dates and details of Rotary programs, events, and projects. to be shut down.

Computer Repairs, Sales & Training

I’m often asked how Malware, particularly the type that attaches itself to your web browser and spams you with advertisements, gets onto a computer. The simple answer is usually “checkboxes”. There’s a lot of software available for free on the Internet. Only it’s not actually free, you’re just paying for it in a different way. A lot of free programs are “sponsored” by advertising companies, using the popularity of the free program to expand their target audience while giving the developer a small source of income. When installing these free programs, you’ll usually find a checkbox somewhere at the bottom of the installer window offering some additional software you don’t actually want. The text next to the check box will often be smaller than the text found elsewhere in the installer, encouraging you not to read it in classic fine print manner. If you see a check box anywhere during a software installation, stop and carefully read the description next to it. If it’s optional software, it’s best to uncheck it unless you’re absolutely sure you want it. If you can’t uncheck it, you need to decide if the free program is worth the trouble of hunting down and removing the extra junk.

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of

Pet of the Week

WALTER ROBERT READ

Walter was born in Moosejaw, Sask on September 12, 1937 and passed away peacefully in his sleep on July 11, 2015.

He moved to B.C. with his family at the age of four. He got most of his schooling on Vancouver Island where he also learned to play the piano accordion and carried on to play in the school orchestra.

Walter was a true family man as well as a logger, truck driver, farmer, cowboy and cattleman. He created a very sought after herd of Red Angus cattle on the family farm on Savory Road west of Fraser Lake.

When we moved to Savory Road there wasn’t enough land cleared to swing a cat so we worked hard for over thirty years to get it into production complete with a gravity fed irrigation system which was envied by many farmer near & far.

Walter’s entertainment was to go to the Vanderhoof Cattle Auctions where he could visit with other cattlemen and share a cup of coffee and an apple fritter with his friends.

He always wanted to build a big hay shed so he wouldn’t have to use hay tarps anymore. Well, he finally got his shed this summer but unfortunately never got to use it.

We bought a fifth wheel travel trailer planning to take a few trips...very few were taken, we were always too busy! Last year we got two miniature donkey’s so we could retire on our asses. We never got round to that either! But I know in my heart that Walter just wouldn’t have been able to retire as most people think to do at that stage in their lives. He was a doer, a worker and that is what he loved to do...was work.

Walter is survived by his loving wife Audrey of 59 years, daughter’s Debbie (John), Shannon (Russell), sons Calvin (Brenda), Bruce (Jean) Grandchildren: Clinton (Angie), Anyla, Logan, Jody, Tehya (Clem), Fraser (Marissa), Tanis (Clay) and Lane (Ashlee). Great grand children: Taylor, Prentis, Carter and Kenzie. Predeceased by daughter Shelley and son Bobby.

Rest in peace Walter, you have earned it.
