Coastal GasLink proposes alternate route

The alternate route would be further away from Unist’ot’en camp FLAVIO NIENOW

Coastal GasLink Pipeline Ltd. (Coastal GasLink) is considering the feasibility of an alternate route to its proposed pipeline that would run mostly north of the Morice River.

Coastal GasLink, 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. The proposed alternate pipeline route would be about five kilometers north of the current route. While the initial route would mostly run south of the Morice River, most of the alternate route is on the north side of the river, beginning approximately 35 km south of Houston.

According to Coastal GasLink, the decision to move the route follows extensive consultation with Aboriginal groups who were concerned about the potential effect to the underground springs that feed the Morice River.

Shela Shapiro, Coastal GasLink Spokesperson, said the alternate route north of the river would provide an option that addresses the potential effect to the underground springs. In addition, she says the new route would run through an area that has already been ...see COASTAL GASLINK ▼ P9

FLAVIO NIENOW Burns Lake council met with Premier Christy Clark and cabinet ministers to discuss how the recent cutbacks at the College of New Caledonia (CNC) have impacted the Lakes District.

Christopher Beach, and chief administrative officer Sheryl Worthing.

According to village council, the recent changes and cutbacks that took place at College of New Caledonia (CNC) are projected to have a “variety of negative financial and social consequences for the region.”

Council said CNC administration has consolidated control of all programming in the central campus, eliminated a large portion of the programs being offered to rural students, and imposed unsustainable restrictions on social service programs offered locally through the college.

Burns Lake Visitor Centre to receive three-year base funding

Stable funding will help ensure better long-term planning

Flavio Nienow The provincial government has announced a new, three-year base funding model for community visitor services centres to ensure more stable and predictable funding.

The strategy includes a new minimum base funding of $10,000 annually for the next three years for small and rural community visitor centres, including the Burns Lake Visitor Centre. In addition, an innovation fund will be available in 2016 to assist communities with projects that help them adapt to the changing needs and expectations of visitors, including through the use of technology.

Susan Schienbein, Burns Lake and District Chamber of Commerce and Visitor Centre Manager, said the stable funding for the next three years will allow the visitor centre to make plans accordingly.

“The cost of delivering services increases each year so we continually adapt and streamline to ensure we work within our budget," she said. “The Burns Lake Visitor Centre is looking at some improvements to our print, digital, and social media channels and funding certainty will allow us to plan carefully to meet the needs of an increasing visitor population."

Schienbein explained that the Burns Lake Visitor Centre had already been receiving funding from Destination B.C. However, it was hard to predict how much funding exactly would be available each year. Earlier this year, the funding from Destination B.C. had been reduced to $7900 from a previous $10,000 funding agreement. Midway through the year, the funding was bumped back up to $10,000 for visitor centres that were meeting the terms of their agreement, including the Burns Lake Visitor Centre.

“Providing stable, base funding for the next three years will help ensure better long-term planning for our communities,” Nechako Lakes MLA John Rustad said. “Our visitor centres highlight the unique experiences and natural assets for the many travellers and visitors to our region.” ...see VISITOR CENTRE t P8

Controversy grows over B.C.’s fiveyear wolf cull program Province has killed 84 wolves so far to protect caribou herds

Flavio Nienow While the provincial government has been taking immediate action to save caribou herds under threat from wolf predation, some experts and animal rights activists – including celebrities have been speaking out against the wolf cull.

Although the wolf removal plan is not taking place close to the northwest, the province’s five-year ‘wolf removal’ program began on Jan. 15, 2015. The initial goal was to kill up to about 180 wolves threatening caribou herds this year in two different areas - the South Selkirk Mountains and the South Peace.

Bad weather and a low snowpack made it more difficult for the province to reach their initial goal, resulting in 84 wolves killed.

In the South Selkirks Mountains, 11 wolves were killed. The province was originally aiming to kill up to 24 wolves in the region by shooting them from a helicopter before snow melt. The wolves that remain are now being monitored to track their movement.

In the South Peace, 73 wolves were killed. The province was hoping to kill up to 120-160 wolves in the region, again by shooting them from a helicopter before snow melt.

According to the province, both the South Selkirks and South Peace herds have experienced significant losses to wolf predation.

The South Selkirk herd numbered 46 caribou in 2009, declining to 14 in the most recent survey conducted in March 2015. In the four caribou herds in the South Peace - Quintette, Moberly, Scott and Kennedy-Siding - populations are also decreasing.

Animal rights activists - including celebrities - are now speaking out against the province’s contentious approach to save the caribou herds.

American pop singer Miley Cyrus recently appealed to her

millions of Instagram followers to sign a petition against B.C.’s wolf cull program. A week later, Pamela Anderson, a B.C.-born actress and animal rights activist, published an open letter to Premier Christy Clark also condemning the wolf cull.

“I won’t hold my tongue when I witness cruelty to animals, and I am deeply disturbed that my beloved province is allowing people to hunt and kill wolves,” read the letter. “We all want to restore the populations of endangered caribou, but gunning down wolves is not the answer.”

Anderson added that caribou herds are threatened because humans have “overdeveloped their habitat.”

“Rather than spending millions in taxpayer dollars to kill more animals, we need to invest in a plan to protect Canada’s forestland, which would also preserve the habitats of many other species.”

During a press conference on Sept. 18, 2015, Premier Christy Clark decided to respond to both celebrities by mocking their tendency to wear revealing outfits.

“There is another thing they have in common; both Pamela Anderson and Miley Cyrus, when they open up their closets they probably don’t find a lot of clothes,” said Clark.

According to the premier, the two celebrities need to educate themselves more on the issue.

“We’re trying to defend an endangered species and population of caribou that will go utterly extinct in British Columbia if we don’t do this,” said Clark. “I just hope that they really work a little to understand the issue.”

In a Canadian Press story recently published by the Huffington Post, conservation scientist Chris Darimont of the University of Victoria said successive governments have permitted forest, oil and gas and other resource companies to destroy and encroach on caribou habitat, and now that some herds are on the brink of extinction, wolves are made the scapegoat.

“It’s a desperate, last-minute Hail Mary attempt to avoid what really ought to be done and that is slow down and stop habitat ...see WOLF KILL

Premier’s response not classy

Inner children take over city hall

A couple of wellknown celebrities American pop star Miley Cyrus and B.C.-born actress Pamela Anderson have been speaking out against our province’s contentious wolf cull program.

The province implemented the wolf cull program with the purpose of protecting caribou herds under threat from wolf predation. The province planned to kill up to 180 wolves this year by shooting them from a helicopter, but bad weather and a low snowpack created some difficult conditions. In the end, 84 wolves were killed. While Miley Cyrus called on her approximately 28 million Instagram followers to sign a petition against the wolf cull, Pamela Anderson published an open letter to Premier Christy Clark condemning the program.

I think it’s safe to say that the premier’s response was anything but classy. During a press conference, Clark responded to both women by mocking their tendency to wear revealing outfits.

“There is another thing they have in common - both Pamela Anderson and Miley Cyrus, when they open up their closets they probably don’t find a lot of clothes,” said Clark.

Yes, Miley Cyrus and Pamela Anderson might not be experts on wolves or habitat management (and you might not even like their music or acting skills). Nevertheless, they are human beings who share the concerns of millions of people around the world – including experts - who feel that the science behind this contentious program simply does not add up. So they at least deserve to be treated with respect and not to be dismissed based on their wardrobe choices.

Our premier could have provided a real answer to those two women without having to insult them. Besides, discussing how our decisions and actions impact the environment should be at the top of our list. Conservation scientist Chris Darimont of the University of Victoria said in a Canadian Press story published by the Huffington Post that wolves are not the main reason why the caribou population has been threatened. Darimont said successive governments have permitted forest, oil and gas and other resource companies to destroy and encroach on caribou habitat, and now that some herds are on the brink of extinction, wolves are made the scapegoat. It was very interesting to cover this story because the ministry of forests, lands and natural resource operations explained to me that the decision to implement the wolf cull was based on “science and peer-reviewed studies.”

And of course, their logic makes perfect sense - if wolves are killing caribou, and caribou is an endangered species, we will sacrifice a couple of hundred wolves to save the caribou.

The only problem with that logic is that nature might not work the same way as the human logic. Humans see and measure the world a certain way, sometimes forgetting that all systems are connected and making decisions without fully comprehending those complex connections. I am not entirely sure that our ecosystems function the same way as our limited brains can conceive, and I am not entirely sure that we understand the ripple effect that our interventions can cause on our planet.

Sadie Parr, Executive Director of the non-profit group Wolf Awareness, explained that wolves are social animals, more than just numbers. He said allowing wolves to express their natural social behaviour benefits the wider ecosystem.

“Sustainable numbers do not necessarily mean that a wolf population is thriving nor functioning naturally,” said Parr. “Their social bonds and kin-based families define what it means to be a wolf.”

So yes, science and logic make perfect sense, but do we really know how killing a couple of hundred wolves will impact the wider ecosystem?

We’re seeing the effects of our post-literate, feelings-based education system and media on the federal election. Candidate bozo eruptions are becoming more frequent.

Most recently a Liberal candidate on Vancouver Island admitted she has long believed that hijacked jetliners could not have destroyed the World Trade Centre on 9-11, that it was all “a lie.” That was “my truth,” she said, in the lingo of the feelings-first, inner-child crowd.

Now she’s “moved on” to a slightly different fact-free conclusion, that we’ll just never know how those 3,000 people were murdered. And she wants to go to Ottawa and help run this country.

Feelings-based beliefs were on display again at last week’s Union of B.C. Municipalities convention in Vancouver, where bozo eruptions by local politicians come in bunches. This year’s main outbreak was an emotional demand that the B.C. government enact a provincial bill of rights. This magic municipal Magna Carta “recognizes the right of every resident to live in a healthy environment, including the right to clean air, clean water and vibrant ecosystems.”

Alert taxpayers may wonder, how many lawyers would it take to define “vibrant”? More on that in a moment.

Local councils across B.C. and around the country have been pitched this scheme by the David Suzuki Foundation, which calls it the Blue Dot campaign. In short, it’s part of the bigger plan to save the planet by crushing capitalism, currently being pushed by the Pope, the UN and others. Victoria Mayor Lisa Helps was one of the most passionate backers. She quoted the plea presented to her council by an 11-year-old recruited by the Blue Dot team.

There are many such children, terrified by indoctrination about the imminent destruction of Earth and all its cuddly creatures that has bombarded them since they learned to speak.

They are found in the wealthiest countries in human history, those enjoying health, comfort and opportunity not imagined by anyone 100 years ago. In the vast, air-conditioned hall of the Vancouver Convention Centre, there were several attempts at adult supervision. Coquitlam Coun. Terry O’Neill noted that unlike intrinsic rights articulated in Canada’s charter, freedom of assembly and so forth, this is an attempt to invent new rights that are actually demands for “others to do something for you.”

Indeed, if we’re going to have government by 11-year-olds, we might as well throw in a right to free ice cream. Chilliwack Mayor Sharon Gaetz went off on a rant about how this new “vision” would protect us from things like Volkswagen fiddling its diesel fuel emission results. The resolution calls for “access to justice when environmental rights are infringed,” which sounds like code for some sort of costly new legal aid program to pursue every individual grievance. Meanwhile in the real world, class action lawsuits are being prepared to gain compensation for lost resale value of millions of cars. This is what happens in fortunate places like Canada that already have access to justice.

O’Neill read off a long list of existing B.C. legislation that protects water, air, wildlife, food, public health and so on. Helps replied that this bill of rights would “consolidate” all that. One more layer of bureaucracy, that’s the Victoria spirit.

Williams Lake Mayor Walt Cobb pleaded with rural delegates to reject this “David Suzuki propaganda” that is designed to put more roadblocks in the way of the very resource industries that provide our modern comforts.

Alas, the resolution passed in a show of hands that should have been, but wasn’t, put to a counted vote.

Burns Lake mayor meetings productive at UBCM conference

Submitted photo

Mayor Strimbold called the meeting with the premier “productive,” saying it was a good opportunity to inform the premier and ministers of Burns Lake’s current situation.

a successful community college,” said Strimbold.

During the meeting, council proposed the creation of a pilot regional community college to serve the Lakes and Nechako regions. The proposed college would offer postsecondary education, trades training, and family social services. In other words, it would be a rurally focussed community college.

Council did not request any new funds at this time. Instead, the request was for a reallocation of funds from CNC’s rural campus programming to fund a regional community college. According to council, the proposed college would better meet the needs of rural communities, allowing for synergies between the services being offered, rather than the tension that currently exists.

Strimbold added that the proposed regional college would utilize the strong partnerships with First Nations, industry and local government that are already in place.

“Existing data suggests this model will be a more efficient way for the ministries to address a variety of community needs at once, and to ensure that the incredible effort put forth in our local campuses will not be lost,” said Strimbold.

From now on, council will be meeting with ministry staff to fol-

low up on this proposal and discuss the idea in more detail.

Among the ministers present at the meeting were Andrew Wilkinson, Minister of Advanced Education; Shirley Bond, Minister of Jobs; Mike Bernier, Minister of Education; and John Rustad, Minister of Aboriginal Relations and Reconciliation.

Another topic discussed during UBCM was Babine Forest Product’s inquest recommendations.

Council met with Shirley Bond, Minister of Jobs, and Suzanne Anton, Minister of Justice, to ensure that recommendations were being implemented.

The inquest into the mill deaths at Babine Forest Products concluded Aug. 31, 2015, with 41 recommendations to improve safety in the industry and prevent similar incidents from happening again.

“The ministers emphasized they are working diligently on the recommendations and they also emphasized the importance of working with the families and workers as they go forward,” said Strimbold.

Almost 2000 delegates participated in this year’s annual Union of British Columbia Municipalities (UBCM) convention. Through its resolution sessions, the convention provides a platform for local government leaders to establish policy directions for UBCM’s activities over the coming year.

The new school year in B.C. is the start of a three-year transition to a new curriculum that Education Minister Mike Bernier says will emphasize "hands-on" learning.

The new curriculum is being phased in this year for Kindergarten to Grade 9, with higher grades still in development. Bernier said this year it will be up to local school districts and teachers to begin implementing it before it becomes mandatory in the fall of 2016. Grade 10-12 curriculum is to be mandatory in 2017.

Bernier, the Peace River South MLA appointed education minister this summer, said he's heard from teachers who are looking forward to a curriculum that allows more flexibility and individual learning. He stressed that basic skills of reading, writing and arithmetic will remain, but students will also be taught life skills, communication, collaboration and critical thinking.

Two areas of emphasis for the new curriculum are environmental education and an aboriginal perspective, which Bernier said will be present in "every single component in the curriculum." Local schools are encouraged to work with aboriginal communities across the province to represent the full diversity of aboriginal experience, he said.

Hands-on learning is already in place in schools, and Bernier used the example of a shop teacher in his home town of Dawson Creek who encouraged students at risk of dropping out to take his course. They learned mathematics and physics through taking motors apart and reassembling them, he said.

Bernier invited parents to look for themselves at gradeby-grade documents posted at curriculum.gov.bc.ca, listing learning standards and areas of emphasis.

In the science curriculum, for example, students are to be taught "big ideas" that in grade one include "observable patterns and cycles occur in the local sky and landscape."

By Grade 8, they are to learn at "Earth and its climate have changed over geological time."

Science competencies required by grade seven include the ability to "exercise a healthy, informed skepticism and use scientific knowledge and findings for their own investigations to evaluate claims in secondary sources" such as media reports.

By that time they should be able to identify possible sources of error in their investigations, understand qualitative and quantitative evidence and "demonstrate an awareness of assumptions … and bias in their own work and secondary sources."

Lakes District News

In the story 'Telkwa council proposes recall mechanism' published in the Lakes District News' Sept. 23 edition, Telkwa council was proposing a recall mechanism during the 2015 Union of British Columbia Municipalities (UBCM) convention held last week in Vancouver.

The proposed recall mechanism, if endorsed by both the UBCM and the province, would allow B.C. residents to remove

municipal politicians whose performances have been undesirable or unacceptable.

On the last day of the convention, the resolution was voted favourably by delegates at UBCM. “I’m very proud of the delegates, and of our Telkwa council from supporting the resolution,” said Telkwa Mayor Darcy Repen.

Although the resolution was endorsed by UBCM, the provincial government still needs to decide whether to amend the community charter to include the recall mechanism.

“A recall mechanism would give the electorate a democratic avenue to remove a politician and elect a new representative whose policies are more in tune with the needs and wants of their community members,” said Repen. “It is about municipal politicians being accountable for their actions to the people they are supposed to be serving.”

Map of Coastal GasLink’s proposed alternate pipeline route. The alternate route would be about five km north of the current route. While the initial route would mostly run south of the Morice River, most of the alternate route is on the north side of the river, beginning approximately 35 km south of Houston.

COASTAL GASLINK from t P1 disturbed through logging activity.

The proposed alternate route would also be further away from the Unist’ot’en camp. While the initial route would run about one km south of the Unist’ot’en camp, the alternate route would be approximately five km north of the camp.

The Unist’ot’en clan of the Wet’suwet’en has set up a protective camp south of Houston and has been physically impeding pipeline proponents such as TransCanada and Chevron from entering their territory.

Although both the initial and the alternate route do not cross the Unist’ot’en camp directly, Shapiro says Coastal GasLink would still need to conduct fieldwork on Unist’ot’en territory next year.

“The plan next year would be the same as this year - our crews would be accompanied by local Wet’suwet’en and others to help us ensure their cultural and historical resources are identified, respected and protected,” said Shapiro. “We continue to pursue a resolution with representatives of Dark House [Unist’ot’en] and our preference is to engage with them in a meaningful fashion in an effort to achieve consensus.”

Coastal GasLink anticipates filing an application to amend its environment assessment certificate for the new route as early as November 2015, and applying to the B.C. Oil Gas Commission for approval of the new route shortly after.

“The final route will be determined as an outcome of these regulatory processes, and once we have had the opportunity to advance construction planning and detailed engineering design taking into account cultural, environmental, commercial, and constructability considerations,” explained Shapiro.

According to Coastal GasLink, Aboriginal groups whose traditional territory may be potentially impacted by the proposed alternate route were invited to participate in “field data collection programs and provide traditional ecological knowledge.”

Coastal GasLink says the company has had over 9200 engagements with Aboriginal communities along the proposed routes.

Open House & Fire Practice Monday, October 5th at 6:00 pm

Stop by and see how we train and operate.

There will be valuable information and literature on this year’s theme:

‘Hear The Beep Where You Sleep’ Every Bedroom Needs a Working Smoke Alarm!

Having a working smoke alarm near your bedroom area(s) and at each level of a residence is required by law. There are now new types of smoke alarms that can be electronically interconnected wirelessly.

For example, if smoke activates a smoke alarm in the basement of a house, all the home’s smoke alarms will sound simultaneously regardless of how far away they are from the smoke’s source.

Therefore if additional smoke alarms are installed voluntarily in each bedroom, you are immediately alerted and gain precious seconds to deal with the situation and safely escape from a house fire.

It is recommended that smoke alarms be installed in each bedroom.

Alarming Statistics IN BRITISH COLUMBIA:

*

• Dead batteries were found in smoke alarms in 302 residential fires resulting in 39 injuries and 7 fatalities • Power had not been connected or smoke alarms was found disabled/off in 230 residential fires resulting in 32 injuries and 7 fatalities

Liberal leader Justin Trudeau, NDP leader Thomas Mulcair and Conservative leader Stephen Harper debate in Calgary.

Tom Fletcher The three contenders for the prime minister’s office clashed in their second debate Thursday evening in Calgary, where slumping oil prices and industry layoffs framed a discussion on the economy.

NDP leader Tom Mulcair accused Conservative Stephen Harper of having a “rip and ship approach” to natural resource development, adding that Harper “put all of his eggs in one basket, and then dropped the basket.”

Harper said it is “simply false” that the oil industry’s woes represent the entire economy, and overall it continues to perform well and produce more tax revenue despite a 40 per cent reduction in small business taxes and other tax cuts.

Liberal leader Justin Trudeau said his plan also includes reduction in small business taxes, and he emphasized he is the only leader willing to raise personal income taxes on the wealthiest one per cent of income earners, to finance a cut for the middle class.

Moderated by David Walmsley, editor of The Globe and Mail, the debate drew out differences between the three established party leaders on several topics.

Greenhouse gases: • Mulcair favours a cap-and-trade system, but he avoided questions about what his system would cost the economy or consumers. The NDP will “enforce overarching sustainable development legislation,” he said.

• Trudeau defended his position that each province should address emissions in its own way. He said Mulcair wants to impose a national bureaucracy, including on B.C., which Trudeau called a world leader in use of carbon tax.

• Harper said carbon taxes are about revenues to government, not the environment. He said under his 10-year administration, Canada has seen a decline

in emissions while the economy grew, adding that his government invests $1 billion a year in alternative energy.

Infrastructure: • Trudeau defended his plan to run three deficits of up to $10 billion to finance roads and other infrastructure, with interest rates at a low ebb and Canada’s debt relative to the size of the economy declining.

• Mulcair called Trudeau’s plan “reckless and uncosted,” while the NDP calls for steady investment over 20 years.

• Harper said over 10 years, his government has spent 15 times what the previous Liberal government spent on infrastructure. That includes record deficits for public works projects in the wake of the 2009 economic crisis.

Taxation: • Harper said the other parties promise tax relief for small businesses, but their plans to increase Canada Pension Plan and Employment Insurance premiums amount to a payroll tax 10 times as big as their small business tax cuts.

• Mulcair said he will raise income tax from 15 to 17 per cent for large corporations, but he believes individuals are paying their fair share now. Mulcair reminded viewers that Trudeau has supported Conservative budgets, and his first vote in Parliament was to support Harper’s tax “giveaway” to big business.

• Trudeau emphasized that his is the only plan that increases taxes for bank executives and other wealthy individuals as well as on banks, while reducing income tax on the middle class.

Green Party MP Elizabeth May wasn’t invited to the Globe debate, but chipped in with videos on her Twitter account. In one, May noted that there was no discussion of “investor state agreements” such as one with China that have intruded on Canada’s sovereignty.

Featuring the spirit of the local people Donations to Burns Lake’s Terry Fox run exceed expectations “I feel very humbled by people’s generosity,” says organizer

Flavio Nienow This year, the Terry Fox Foundation challenged towns across Canada to raise $1 for each member of their communities during the 35th edition of the Terry Fox run.

Burns Lake, with a population of over 3600 (including residents of the First Nations reserves within the town limits), surpassed this year’s goal by more than three times, raising almost $13,000.

“I feel very humbled by people’s generosity,” said Spokesperson Carla Carlson.

About 250 participants took part in Burns Lake’s Terry Fox run on Sept. 20, 2015. The 10km run started at the Francois Lake Community Hall, where the fall harvest auction was being held.

The auction alone raised $6753, selling homegrown produce and homemade items such as baked pies and quilts made by local residents.

“This year our auction was really high quality and we had gorgeous things,” said Carlson. “It was a very successful year.”

Whether the intention was to run, buy unique products at the silent auction, try out face painting or simply make new friends, people of varied ages showed at the event.

“That’s why our run is so successful, we seem to touch all corners of our community,” said Carlson. “We have residents from The Pines and young families with babies and strollers.”

Carlson said she was mesmerized after seeing that community members were committed to helping in any way they could. If people could not donate money, they would bring a homemade item to the silent auction; if people were not able to attend the event, they would donate money afterwards.

“I feel very proud to be a part of this community,” said Carlson. “I felt an extreme amount of positive energy.”

The annual Terry Fox run takes place in over 9000 communities across Canada. Participants

can run, walk, blade or bike while raising funds for cancer research.

“All of us have been touched by cancer in some way, so it strikes a common chord among people,” said Carlson.

Before being diagnosed with bone cancer at the age of 18, Terry Fox was an active teenager involved in many sports. After his diagnosis, Fox had his right leg amputated 15 cm (six inches) above the knee.

According to the Terry Fox Foundation, while in hospital, Fox was inspired by the resilience of other cancer patients and decided to run across Canada to raise money for cancer research.

Burns Lake,surpassed this year’s goal by more than three times, raising almost $13,000. About 250 participants took part in Burns Lake’s Terry Fox run on Sept. 20, 2015. The auction alone raised $6753, selling homegrown produce and homemade items such as baked pies and quilts made by local residents.

His run started in St. John’s, N.L., on April 12, 1980. He ran close to 42 km a day through Canada’s Atlantic provinces, Quebec and Ontario. However, after 143 days and 5373 km, Fox was forced to stop in Ontario because cancer had appeared in his lungs.

Fox passed away on June 28, 1981, at the age 22. The heroic Canadian was gone, but his legacy was just beginning. According to the Terry Fox Foundation, to date, over $650 million has been raised worldwide for cancer research in his name.

Donations in Burns Lake are still ongoing, so if you missed the run but would still like to donate, Carla Carlson can be reached at 250692-7438.

Burns Lake couple releases first album

THANK YOU Dave & Risé at Takysie Lake Store

The couple had been working on the project for over two years

for buying my windsock at the 4-H auction.

Tina Nicholas

Flavio Nienow

Thank you for supporting 4-H in Burns Lake.

Burns Lake songwriters Doug and Marnie Phair have just achieved their dream of releasing their first album.

‘The main thing – a God project’ is a compilation of life-affirming songs. Although gospel is the predominant style, a range of flavours blend in including reggae, blues, rock, country and alternative.

The Burns Lake couple spent over two years working on this project, which involved the help of 15 other musicians.

“This album has been a labour of love for us, like having a child that we tenderly raised and now has grown up to become its own person,” said Doug. “We knew we had an obligation to see this through, and completion of the project has brought great satisfaction and we are very pleased with the outcome.”

To officially launch the album, the couple held a free concert at the Lakeside Multiplex in Burns Lake on Sept. 19, 2015. About 120 people attended the event.

“We had very positive reviews [from the community],” said Doug. “Not everyone liked the lyrics but overall loved the music and production, and how well it was done.”

The Burns Lake couple discovered their great chemistry singing together back in 2009. While Doug has a flair for composing songs, Marnie prefers to write the lyrics. When asked what music represents in their lives, the couple said that, for them, music is a calling.

“Music plays a very important part in our lives; is it is what we do to relax; it draws us closer to each other and God.” The CD can be purchased at Re/Max Wrightway in Burns Lake or downloaded online via iTunes, CD Baby or Google Play Music. The album will soon be available at the Lakes District Artisan Centre as well.

Three hundred school kids had a day of education and exploring in hopes of teaching them to appreciate nature.

Stroll through Omineca Ski Club was in celebration of national forest week

Andrea Currie Nearly 300 school children from across the Lakes District had the chance to take a stroll with Smokey the Bear this week in celebration of national forest week.

Local forestry professionals and parent volunteers led the annual hike through Omineca Ski Club grounds, guiding elementary school children through forest trails in the fresh fall air.

With year’s theme being ‘wildland fire,’ the event

hoped to teach children how to appreciate nature, learn about the forest and forestry, and even plant a tree.

Event organizer and forestry professional Frank Varga said he hopes the tours instilled a “sense of excitement and interest” in how important forests are to the community while also promoting forestry as a future career path.

“For many children this event is the first time they are taught about the intricate role forests play in our community,” said Varga.

The tour started at the Omineca Ski Club’s lodge, where children had the chance to hang out with Smokey the Bear. Groups where then led out into different areas on the grounds for the day and then back to the lodge for lunch.

Varga explained that Omineca Ski Club grounds were selected because the site illustrates the "changing nature of the forests" whether by the hand of man or by nature.

The event lasted three days starting Sept. 22, 2015. Participating elementary schools included William Konkin Elementary, Francois Lake Elementary and Decker Lake Elementary.

Nurses who rode 750 km exceed donation goal for Hope Air

Money will go directly to the national charity Hope Air

Flavio Nienow In the story ' Northern B.C. nurses ride 750 km to raise money for Hope Air' published in the Lakes District News' Sept. 23, 2015, edition, Mikaela Pond and Jennifer Miller, both registered nurses working in Northern B.C., had hoped to raise $6000 for the national charity Hope Air. The nurses have successfully exceeded their goal, raising $6585 from 51 contributors.

The two nurses rode 750 km from Prince Rupert to Prince George in just six days. Their ride started Aug. 30 and ended Sept. 4, with a stop in Burns Lake on Sept. 2, 2015. Pond and Miller were hoping to raise awareness of the challenges that people living far from large urban centres often face in accessing the healthcare they need.

“We are both nurses and have seen first-hand the disadvantages that rural B.C. residents face when requiring specialized healthcare,” said Pond.

“Many people go through financial struggle and have to travel 800 km up to over 1600 km simply to access healthcare they need.”

“We wanted to cycle the distance that many people travel to access specialized care, recognizing that the travel is often much longer if Prince George doesn't have the services,” added Pond.

Since 1986, Hope Air has been providing free flights to financially-disadvantaged Canadians so that they can have access to medical expertise and technologies that can only be found in large urban centres. Last year, Hope Air arranged over 5000 flights in B.C. alone, with most flights departing from Northern B.C. and Interior to destinations such as Vancouver, Toronto and Montreal, where the majority of medical specialists are located.

“Hope Air really does a great job at bridging this gap in access to healthcare," said Pond. "They help

The money raised by the two nurses will go directly to Hope Air and will provide 25 flights for Northern B.C. residents.

routine immunization program."

Kendall emphasized that vaccinations themselves would not be mandatory, but the information would give schools the ability to protect students when an outbreak happens.

“Unvaccinated children are at risk themselves, but they also pose a risk to others because they create a gateway into the community,” said Kendall.

With communicable diseases such as whooping cough, mumps 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.

The CMA voted at its annual meeting in late August for other provinces to follow suit, requiring immunization records but allowing exemptions for medical or religious reasons.

Doctors also called for development of a national database to pull together records scattered between doctors' offices and schools.

PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20: Pisces, the earlier half of the week may be hectic, but things will return to an even keel as the days press on.

Adobe Flash Player often receives updates several times a month, so most people are familiar with getting a prompt encouraging them to download the latest version. However, there are a lot of fake notifications out there that may lead you to a web page that will install software that you do not want.

This page will usually look almost identical to the real Adobe Flash download page, but it’s fairly easy to spot a fake. If you are prompted and agree to download a Flash update, check the address bar of your web browser.

If it does not contain adobe.com in the first part of the address somewhere, the page you are on is fake and the “update” is most likely malware. If you see this update come up consistently every time you visit a certain website, it might be a good idea to avoid that website in the future.

The website may be trying to lure you in with a free service, like a game, while trying to heap junk programs on you.

MICHAEL DAVID KEEFE GUMPEL Aug. 11, 1985 - Aug. 31, 2015 It is with the heaviest of hearts that we announce the sudden and tragic passing of Michael David Keefe Gumpel at the young age of 30 years.

Mike was born in Prince George, B.C., and grew up there and in the surrounding rural area.

A Celebration of Life has been held in Prince George.

Mike leaves behind his wife Theresa, son Ayden, mother Linda Keefe, father Mike Gumpel Sr., brother Cameron Gumpel, grandparents Marnie and Ralph Keefe and Fred Gumpel, as well as many aunts, uncles, cousins and numerous friends.

Mike was such a great gift to all of us and we know for certain that his life touched many others with his kindness, friendliness, loyalty, and the “antics� that he so often and freely displayed.

We loved him so much!

In lieu of flowers we ask that people donate to the S.P.C.A

Len Hopper Our special cowboy has gone to ride the great beyond, be it on the back of his favourite steed or maybe he is up there keeping the roadways in good shape. His family and friends will all miss him. Len you only had the use of one eye since the age of six, due to an injury, but you succeeded in earning a 25 year safe driving certificate from the B.C. government. A feather in your cap my love.

Len passed away peacefully at the Pines nursing home Sept.

21 at 6:18 pm., a loving nurse at his side, after a 10 year battle with Alzheimer’s. He will rest here in the Burns Lake Cemetery.

At this time the family and myself would like to thank all those that cared for Len in his illness, the doctors, home support workers at our home and all of the staff at the Pines these last four years.

Instead of flowers we would appreciate if gifts of funds could be donated to either the Alzheimer’s Society or to the Pines recreation department in memory of Len. Thank you so much.

Len was preceded in death by his parents Maude and Richard Hopper and 3 brothers Bill, Gordon and Robert.

Len leaves behind his wife Gwen of 64 years, 4 children; David Hopper (Verna), Lynda Higgens (Lyle), Lorna Dyck (Andrew) and Verna Jean Leiberth (Gerome). 6 grandchildren; Laura Lindberg (Wes), Randy Hopper, Janette Derksen (Kevin), Tammy Hopper, Carley Dyck, Mathew Dyck (Candle) and 4 great grandchildren; Josiah, Alana and Nathaniel Lindberg and Justin Derksen.

There will be a memorial service at the United Church in Burns Lake October 10 at 4 p.m. followed by supper.

Everyone who worked with Len, rode with Len, cared for Len and so forth, we hope that you will be able to attend and reminisce with us during this sad time of good bye. There will also be a graveside service at the Burns Lake Cemetery at 3 p.m.

THE CHRONIC DISEASE Education Clinic at the Lakes District Hospital is open Tue. & Wed. from 8:30am - 4pm. The clinic provides information and teaching on various chronic illnesses such as Diabetes & Heart Disease. A doctors referral is not needed. To speak with the nurse call (250) 6922440
