Burns Lake’s first budget meeting of 2015 was held in council cham-bers on Jan. 15. Present at the meeting were Mayor Luke Strimbold, coun-cillors John Illes, Christopher Beach, Kelly Holliday and Susan Schienbein, as well as chief administrative officer Sheryl Worthing, clerk Cameron Hart and members of the village staff.

Among the highlights of the 2015 provisional budget is the Eighth Av-enue/Centre Street corridor upgrade project that should start this year.

The provisional budget also reflected the assessment values for properties in Burns Lake for 2015. Residential val-ues decreased by 0.56 per cent, while business values increased by 1.06 per cent.

Through the 2014 organizational review, one employee position was eliminated and two positions were re-duced, saving the village approximate-ly $105,000 per year. There were no increases in administration non-union staff wages, and a 1.5 per cent increase in union wages.

Administrative salaries are down by $120,000 due to elimination of devel-opment services, reduction in corpo-rate services and administration assis-tant, as well as the elimination of an intern position.

The main project in the village’s capital budget is the Eighth Avenue

The Burns Lake RCMP detachment re-ceived a call at approximately 1:50 p.m. on Jan. 13, 2015 from a person in the com-munity saying that a snowmobiler was stuck in the Thompson Valley area, behind the Decker Lake Forest Products mill.

The snowmobiler was a local adult male who got stuck in deep powder. Luckily he

was stuck in an area that had cellphone coverage and was able to text friends ask-ing for help.

The Burns Lake RCMP detachment then activated the Burns Lake Search and Rescue and sent a couple of officers on snowmobiles to rescue the snowmobiler. A couple of local snowmobilers also vol-unteered to take part in the rescue.

"As the afternoon proceeded, we were getting concerned about darkness," said Staff Sgt. Grant MacDonald with the Burns Lake RCMP.

The snowmobiler was located at 6:06 p.m. He declined medical assistance and went home with family, said MacDonald.

"In this case, the snowmobiler was in an area that had cellphone coverage, but if he was not, it would have been more prob-

lematic," said MacDonald."We would like to extend our gratitude

to the Burns Lake Search and Rescue and to the local snowmobilers for their timely assistance," he added.

The RCMP would like to remind the public to never go out snowmobiling alone.

"Ensure that you are prepared by having adequate food and clothing with you for you journey; we recommend in all cases for a person to use technology should they need any assistance; also to submit a trip plan to someone before you go out," said MacDonald.

The RCMP would also like to remind the public to never go snowmobiling un-der the influence of alcohol. Snowmobiles are motor vehicles, and a snowmobiler could be charged for impaired driving.

Burns Lake Curling Club members say they lost momentum

Flavio NieNow

At a regular council meet-ing of the Village of Burns Lake on Jan. 13, 2015, council heard the concerns of Burns Lake Curling Club members - Sandy Doré, Kevin White and

Halley Finch. Doré read a let-ter to council explaining the club’s latest challenges.

According to Doré, the de-lay in the construction of the Lakeside Multiplex affected the Burns Lake Curling Club in negative ways.

The construction of the fa-cility started in April 2013 and was supposed to be completed by November 2013. However, the construction was only completed in April 2014.

“The season came and went, and we weren’t opened,” said

Doré.While members could still

curl during the construction, they could not access the bar or the upstairs lounge. The popular bonspiels that usually happen three times a year did

Members are now asking the village council for a five-year rent free agreement for the upstairs lounge

Did you do a “cleanse” to start the year? A diet or supplements to, you know, “detox” your body?

Please, if you did, I don’t want the details. I’m here to discuss the underlying assumptions of this fad. TV presenter Dr. Oz is a promoter of various schemes, soup diets and the like, but there are many books

and consumer products being flogged.“Supplements, tea, homeopathy, coffee enemas,

ear candles and foot baths promise you a detoxified body,” writes Ontario pharmacist Scott Gavura, who treats cancer patients with medicine’s most potent drugs.

Frustrated by the pharmacy industry’s willing-ness to cash in on fake cures for nonexistent condi-

tions, Gavura began contributing to ScienceBasedMedicine.org, where you can search “de-tox” find his takedown of this notion.

He traces the roots of purification rituals in religious and medical history, such as when patients were bled with leeches. Actual “detox” is administered in hospital for those with dangerous levels of drugs, alcohol or other poisons. Credible physicians abandoned theories of “autointoxication” in the 19th century.

“Today’s version of autointoxication argues that some combination of food additives, salt, meat, fluoride, prescription drugs, smog, vaccine ingredients, GMOs and perhaps last night’s bottle of wine are causing a buildup of ‘toxins’ in the body,” Gavura writes. “And don’t forget gluten. Gluten is the new evil and therefore, is now a toxin.”

Gluten-free products now occupy whole sections of grocery stores, not far from the pricey “organic” produce that may or may not be tested for synthetic pesticides.

Living in the Lower Mainland 20 years ago, I noticed people lugging big plastic jugs to the grocery store to fill with water. Metro Vancouver is a rainforest, with some of the best tap water in the world, so I wondered what they were trying to avoid.

Discreet inquiries yielded similar answers. Aside from the odd superstition about chlorine or fluoride, they had no idea at all. They didn’t know about the Coquitlam reservoir, or ozo-nation, or what they were buying, which was essentially municipal water run through a filter. They had been convinced to pay $2 for water in plastic bottles, and this somehow led to the conclusion that their tap water is only fit for washing clothes and driveways.

Vaccinations? Don’t get me started. In the past year I have had an argument with a reg-istered nurse at a blood donor clinic, annoyed that the health ministry denied her imagined “right” to infect frail patients with influenza, and with a veteran politician who only recently overcame a vague taboo against putting vaccines in her body.

It’s no wonder people constantly fall for enviro-scares like toxins from the Alberta oil sands that are actually concentrated in cities where all that fuel is burned, or the threat of ge-netically modified canola oil, or smart meters. The media are frequently part of the problem, lacking scientific literacy and preferring conflict over common sense.

Take Vancouver (please). The mayor rose to fame with a company that sold overpriced imported tropical fruit juice in single-serving plastic bottles. Calling it “Happy Planet” con-vinced a new generation of urban rubes that they’re doing something for the environment. Plus, there are “no chemicals” in it, to cite the central myth of hippy science.

At the risk of giving you too much information, I did a cleanse last year. It was for a screen-ing colonoscopy, one of many that have taxed the B.C. health care system since a new test was added to the standard medical checkup.

Try that one if you’re over 50.

t Editorial

Hippy science is easy, and wrong

tom flEtchEr

Before I moved to British Columbia I used to describe myself as an “outdoorsy person” (I even included that de-scription of myself in my cover letter when I was applying for this job).

Believe me, I wasn’t lying. I honestly thought that I was an outdoorsy person based on the fact that I enjoyed having my coffee on the park bench,

hanging out with friends at the beach and occa-sionally running outdoors (when all conditions were favourable).

I was raised in a city in South America that had no easy access to outdoor activities like we have here (and certainly not that many options). So as long as I went to the park once a week, I could tell people I was an outdoorsy person and feel pretty good about myself (which is what I did for 27 years).

Of course now that I live in Burns Lake I realize that my idea of being outdoorsy was completely inaccurate. Let me give you an example.

When I first started working here, I would ask my co-workers every Monday what they had done over the weekend.

I would start by telling them about all the great movies I had watched. Then one of my co-workers would describe her weekend adventures in great detail, but always making it sound like it was no big deal. She and her husband frequently went canoeing (sometimes in lakes that are half frozen), downhill skiing (even at night in remote areas), hiking and snowshoeing (even when it was below -15 C). They are probably out climbing a mountain or running with wolves as you read this column (I clearly have no idea of what happens outside my office).

Before I moved up here I had never heard of fat bikes. I used to think ice fishing was some-thing that people did only in Alaska, and I thought it was common sense to stay indoors when it was below -15 C (I am still debating on this one).

I used to see winter as a time to stay indoors, catching up on my reading or watching lots of movies (basically waiting for April).

I was surprised to see that winter can be such a fun-filled, busy time of the year for people living up north. From snowmobiling to fat bikes, to skiing, to snowshoeing… There seems to always be something on the go! People up north seem to get even more motivated to be outdoors when the snow starts sticking to the ground. I am definitely learning from that.

I am embarrassed to say that I still haven’t done any of the amazing winter activities that are at our doorstep. Don’t get me wrong, I am well aware of the fact that we have world-class mountain biking trails, an incredible cross-country skiing club and amazing landscape all around us. But I always seem to have an excuse.

First it was because I didn’t want to get eaten alive by a bear (believe me, people really scared me about this before I moved up here); then I didn’t think I had the right clothing or equipment to be outdoors; and then it was just too cold.

Once I realized all this, I decided to take action. Burns Lake just had a pretty mild weekend with temperatures near zero degrees, and I thought this would be the perfect time to go cross-country skiing. I invited a friend and I was pretty motivated (I even posted on Twitter saying what a great weekend this was for skiing). It was really a “now or never” scenario for me.

Then Sunday came along. I opened the window expecting to see the sun, but it was snow-ing! To be honest, it really wasn’t that dramatic, but it was enough to make me cancel all my plans and decide to wait for next weekend.

But I am not giving up on myself. There is still two more months of winter, and I need to live up to what my cover letter said.

What outdoorsy really means

More than just bears hibernate...Did you know that trees “hibernate” as well?How is it that trees can just take a “rest” for the winter? Trees hibernate or go dormant during harsh weather when temperatures are colder and there is less sunlight. Without this deep dormancy, woody plants would never survive harsh winter conditions.The main environmental signal which triggers the onset of dormancy is daylight. The “provenance” refers to the speci� ed area in which plants that produced seed are located or were derived. If a person tries to grow a tree that originated too far south of Burns Lake, for example, the tree would not shut down or harden off soon enough in the fall and would be damaged by frost.

Burns Lake Community Forest Ltd. plants seedlings grown from seed that are of the correct provenance and hope that other environmental factors (disease and drought for example) will let them be and grow into healthy, well-formed trees in the future!

What are Village of Burns Lake council goals for 2015?

My goal is to deter-mine the definition of our community: who we are and what it is we want to stand for. From a business keynote, I would like to help the community to gain a better understanding of the importance of sup-porting our local eco-nomic infrastructure and what it means when they choose to go out of town for goods and services that are readily available in the Lakes District.

Throughout the year it will be extremely im-portant for our council to continue to work on the following initia-tives: completion of the Eighth Avenue replace-ment project; work on the financial plan that will accompany our as-set management plan; continue to strengthen the Lakeside Multiplex; get the Chinook Com-munity Forest opera-tional so that harvesting can take place during the 2015/2016 win-ter season; continue to work with Local First Nations on common goals; explore the op-portunity of implement-ing a recycling program for residents.

I want to continue to improve our infrastruc-ture in a fiscally respon-sible manner. We need to replace the Centre St. and Eighth Avenue cor-ridor, and put in a new sidewalk.

We should be work-ing with other agencies to strengthen the local economy and grow our existing businesses. We need to improve our downtown core so it’s more attractive to resi-dents and tourists. Council should work towards strengthening relationships with the six First Nations in our community.

I hope to create more opportunities for en-gagement with the pub-lic on a regular, on-go-ing basis. I’m interested in tackling our infra-structure deficit while ensuring that taxation and utility rates are pal-atable for residents.

I’d like to see full utilization of the Lake-side Multiplex which includes investigating summer sports camps (curling & hockey).

There have been significant changes in Burns Lake and this might be a good year to engage the community and evaluate our prog-ress.

I would like to ad-dress the tax gap ratio of two to one for com-mercial to residential taxes and to provide early tax notices; re-view the possibility of having recycling estab-lished in our communi-ty similar to Telkwa or Smithers; begin the pro-cess of adjusting water/sewer rates so that they are based on usage (es-pecially for commer-cial users); ensure that the process of repaving projects involving por-tions of Eighth Avenue and Centre Street is ten-dered; and to establish an economic revitaliza-tion committee.

Here we are over half way through January. A good feeling to have the days a bit longer. There is an old saying as the days lengthen the cold strengthens.

Maybe it won’t work this year who knows. It’s been an easy winter so far. Lots of snow, much needed for our lakes and next years hay crops.

How well I remember some of the winters we used to have. We thought nothing of 45 or 50 below.

One night during a cold snap when I was in the taxi business and two local ladies were strand-ed at the landing and had to get to town it was 45 below. What at trip that was but I managed but

was I glad to get home that night.

This was before we had the power so we had to keep the motor run-ning all night. Used a bit more fuel but easier on the car. The lake froze over almost solid that winter. At least it made driving the lake much safer. They were hauling loads of lumber over on the ice.

One guy was pretty smart he had an old bob sleigh and an old truck so he loaded them up with lumber and crossed the lake. There are some pic-tures of his outfit I would like to see them if some person may have them. When the lake opened up there were piles of lum-ber left so it was good pickings for me and I built a chicken house.

I well remember Earl Hanke and Dave Mur-ray bringing Earl’s little daughter over with a bro-ken leg. I took her in to the hospital and I helped Dr. Holmes set her leg. Dr. Holmes kept saying are you getting sick I said

“me, I’m fine” but when I got into the fresh air was I ever sick. Whatever they used to put the little girl to sleep just about put me to sleep. Her leg was fine and was just as good as new.

ConcertsThank you Pat Kala-

man on your little piece ‘Traditions on the South-side still alive.’ Yes I well remember the Wistaria concerts they were just great and I am glad you are keeping them going. I well remember being Santa at Grassy Plains, now almost a lifetime ago. I managed to sneak in and nobody could fig-ure who was Santa that night.

House keepingI spent yesterday doing

something I should have been doing years ago and I have kept putting it off now it has caught up on me. I have been writing for almost forever and I have kept all the cop-ies and I know just what a job I have run into. I stood for about two hours trying to sort through tem

all. What do I do with them

all? There is one box full at the Landing and one here. The smart thing to do is bunch them up and burn them but good sense keep them but for what. Maybe the smart thing would be burn them, what a fire it would be but solve a big problem. I have enjoyed writing but old Father Time is catch-ing up on me.

I have stepped on a few toes through the many years but all in all I have come out very well. As the old saying goes all’s well that ends well.

Nice musicWhat a pleasure it was

for the folks here at the Tweedsmuir House to have the Decker Lake Mennonite Church choir drop in for a hymn sing. We all enjoy it so much. They sing most of the old hymns we were brought up on. We all enjoy it so much, you are always welcome.

Going over some old papers yesterday and came across something

of interest and I know lots will be interested. There was an old-timers din-ner held in Burns Lake July 4, 1963, a bit over 50 years ago, and it’s given the names of the folks present. It’s very interesting. Cliff Harri-son was the main speaker and told of the old days and the hardships they went through. Years ago I asked one of the old-tim-ers why so many folks moved into the Southside and he said the railway was going through there and the survey markers are still to be seen. What a change in the Lakes District if it had.

Box of clothesIn my last weeks

write-up I asked about a box of clothes for chil-dren and no one seems to know about these things. They are not for children as I thought. Beautiful hats, scarves, so whoever owns them had better speak up as I will leave them at the thrift shop. Some person must own them but who?

Snow

It’s Sunday and we have had a nice fall of snow. Just right for ski-ing and folks are getting to go. Jo, my late wife, loved to cross country ski. I will always remem-ber her going out. She was good at it too. I used to worry about her as she would go out all alone miles from home. I still treasure her skis. I am glad some of the family are taking it up.

Back home on the prairie dad bought broth-er Peter and I a big long toboggan and I put sides on it and put a single tree on it and a driving horse and drove it to school for a couple of years. This was more fun than going down hills. When we got to school we looked like snowmen covered with snow as we were kicked up by the horse. What memories those old days hold for me. We were short of money but as I look back they were fun days too.

Miss homeAlthough I am very

comfortable here at the

Tweedsmuir House you could not ask for more. The care is out of this world. I just can not for-get my life at Francois Lake. I was counting the years tonight, 74 years in one place. No wonder I miss it. October 1941, how time flies. But it was a good move for us. It was such a wonderful life and my heart will be there forever.

My family are laid to rest here and now our younger generation have taken over.

Everyday is a good day for me and I enjoy it to the fullest and it pays off big time. I do wish my legs would work a bit better as I do miss walk-ing around but I am very grateful for the many years I used them and I was not easy on them.

Must close up for this week with my usual God loves you a lot and so do I.

I must not forget Laura and her staff at Lakes District News for helping me out with my write-up view point. Thanks a lot.

Anyone have old pictures of hauling lumber over the ice?

Grade 12 student Elise Dube is giv-ing Burns Lake another reason to be proud. Dube will be representing B.C. at the 2015 Canada Winter Games in Prince George this February.

"I am very excited, but pretty ner-vous," she said.

While training in Whistler earlier this year with the B.C. Snowboard Team, Dube fractured her wrist. She is now in a cast but hopes to have it off in a couple of weeks. Dube hopes to be in her best shape for the busy month ahead of her.

Dube will compete in Mont-Trem-blant, Quebec, from Jan. 24 to 31; then Cooper, Colorado, from Feb. 1 to 6; Big White, B.C., from Feb. 7 to 15; and the Canada Winter Games from Feb. 16 to 28. Dube was scheduled to compete at Cooper Mountain on Jan. 2, 2015 but the competition had to be postponed due to lack of snow.

Even with her busy schedule and many days spent away from home, the Lakes District Secondary School student still manages to follow up with her school assignments.

"I keep on top of it, and I do it when I'm away, I correspond by e-mail with my teachers," she said.

Dube joined the B.C. Snowboard Team in May 2014. Last November, the talented teenager trained along-side top athletes from around the world in a training camp in Austria.

Competing at the 2015 Canada Winter Games will be a big step for Dube. For many sports, these games are an integral step for athletes to reach international competition.

Dane Kaechele, head coach for the B.C. Snowboard Team said in a press release, "Our athletes are looking forward to representing B.C. at the Canada Winter Games and they will all be training hard in the next month to be in top form with the support of on and off snow training, medical and physical testing, strength and condi-tioning."

Even with all the expectation, Dube humbly said she only hopes to "represent the province properly."

"I just hope I do well and make my parents proud," she said

BUDGET from ▼ P1

During the meeting, council was presented with the provisional departmental budgets, including the highlights of 2014 and what each department would like to achieve in 2015.

The administration and finance department plans to investigate the feasibility of offering free Wi-fi in the downtown core or in municipal buildings; perform a complete overhaul of the Burn-slake.ca tourism website; create formalized rental agreements for all village owned properties; and facilitate an annual planning session with local First Nations.

The economic development department is committed to devel-oping an economic development strategic plan for 2016-2018; to proceed with business retention and expansion through programs such as Love Burns Lake, Business Facade Improvement and Busi-ness Walks; develop a strategy for the re-branding and marketing of Burns Lake; and to assist non-profit orga-nizations in the Burns Lake area.

The fire department would like to imple-ment a program that would reinforce the need for building own-ers to submit a fire safe-ty plan for their build-ing and employees; explore the possibilities of establishing a satel-lite fire department to provide fire protection to the residents west of the current bound-aries (Kissock Road) to Rose Lake; acquire four Apple iPad tab-lets and mount them in each of their vehicles to facilitate first aid information and proce-dures, access to maps and hydrant locations, vehicle maintenance and personal records, as well as operational guidelines.

The recreation de-partment’s budget pre-sentation included the plans to provide year round programming at the Lakeside Mul-tiplex - including 30 registered programs, 10 drop-in programs and 10 free programs for

the public. Plans also included replacing the curling rink lounge’s roof; train more staff to hold safety awareness and refrigeration operator certification; provide an annual recreation fair; purchase three canoes for the summer camps programs and rental; and pro-vide parking lot lighting.

The public works department would like to finish installing the new chemical dispersal system for the lagoons; repair valves to assure continued uninterrupted water supply; finish phase 2A of the downtown revitalization plan; finish landscaping around the Lakeside Multiplex to incorporate Spirit Square; and to begin replacement of Eighth Avenue.

The next budget meeting will take place in council chambers on Jan. 22 at 6 p.m.

Joan Ragsdale, career and trades liaison for the School District 91 (Nechako Lakes), prepared a presentation to Village of Burns Lake council on Jan. 13, 2015, prosing a partnership between the school district, community and industry.

The goal of the partnership would be to strength-en the offering of trades programs for high-school students and to guarantee work opportunities for students once they graduate from high school.

The Accelerated Credit Enrolment in Industry

Training (ACE IT) programs are the in-class com-ponent of a high school apprenticeship. ACE IT students are youth apprentices registered with the Industry Training Authority (ITA). Students who successfully complete the ACE IT program earn credit towards both high school graduation and a post-secondary credential.

The School District 91 has already been offering ACE IT programs.

Since 2008, there has been 117 students within School District 91 who completed their ITA training

a "safe public transport option" along Hwy. 16 - commonly referred to as the "Highway of Tears" due to the disap-pearance of several Ab-original women.

Barbara Morin, presi-dent of the B.C. Native Women's Association, said many women who are in poverty and have to travel through Hwy. 16 cannot afford a bus ticket, so they end up hitchhiking and putting themselves at risk.

"It's a dangerous situ-ation," she said. "Wom-en have a fundamental right to safety, and that is what this report is all about."

Lake Babine Na-tion's Chief Wilf Adam said that young people, especially young Ab-original women, should be picked up by a com-mercial carrier such as Greyhound or a North-ern Health bus until other arrangements can take place.

Although the infor-mation on the report indicates that the miss-ing and murdered Ab-original women is a na-tionwide phenomenon, B.C. shows the highest numbers of victims in the country. The prov-ince accounts for 160 cases - 28 per cent - of the total 582 cases across the country. Al-

berta follows with 93 cases, 16 per cent of the total.

Prince George and the downtown east side of Vancouver concentrate the highest numbers of cases in the province.

"The report shows that our area is fully impacted and should be taken seriously, and proper actions taken," said Chief Adam.

According to the re-port, the disappearances and murders of Aborigi-nal women in Prince George and Vancouver are part of a broader pattern of violence and discrimination in the country.

Aboriginal women and girls constitute one of the most disadvan-taged groups in Canada,

A new report released by the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights on Jan. 12, 2015 calls on the federal gov-ernment to launch a na-tion-wide inquiry into the issue of missing and murdered Aboriginal women.

Aboriginal women and girls in Canada have been murdered or have gone missing at a rate four times higher than the non-Aboriginal population.

The report analyzes the response to this hu-man rights issue and offers recommenda-tions geared towards assisting the provincial and federal government to protect Aboriginal women’s rights.

One of the recom-mendations in the re-port includes providing

not take place during that time. The club lost bar inventory, saw a decline in memberships as well as volunteers.

“We lost the momentum of our club,” said Doré. “We are now starting over with fewer volunteers and trying to rebuild momentum with the spirit, strength and participation we had prior to the con-struction [of the Lakeside Multiplex].”

Doré added that after the construction, the up-stairs lounge was not cleaned up properly, there were holes on the walls to be filled and areas that needed to be repainted. In addition, she said the stair way isn’t safe and the reconfiguration of the downstairs area re-sulted in the loss of a suitable washroom fa-cility for curlers.

“We feel that we’ve suffered a great deal over the past couple of years with the loss of membership, volun-teers and revenue,” she said.

The club’s proposal to the village council included the operation of the upstairs lounge area on a “rent-free ba-sis for five years with an annual review.”

Mayor Strimbold said the council will consider the request of the Burns Lake Curling Club during the next budget meeting on Jan. 22 at 6 p.m.

TRADES from t P8while still in high school. Ninety-four of those students completed their training in the Lakes District Campus of the College of New Caledonia in Burns Lake. On average, 17 students take six different ITA trades pro-grams every year within School District 91.

One of the challenges faced by the school district is to ensure that these programs are reliable options for students.

"What happens right now is that there is no guar-antee for these programs," said Ragsdale. "They have had last-minute cancellations, and the students that had signed up for these courses had to switch their options in the last minute."

The second challenge would be to increase work and apprenticeship options for students.

"We want to ensure that students will have that op-portunity [of finding employment] before they leave high school," said Ragsdale. "We need a commitment from the industry to hire students."

The school district proposed to council the develop-ment of agreements with the industry that would ensure local apprenticeship options for students.

"We need a commitment to providing those options for students, to build our work force locally," she said.

The proposal also included a five-year ACE IT pilot program, where there would be a guarantee to provide a minimum of one ACE IT program each year in the com-munity of Burns Lake, Fort St. James and Vanderhoof, with rotational offerings in Fraser Lake.

"These initiatives are completely dependent on the school district working together with industry and com-munity," she said. "This is what our government would want to see - work sites as the classrooms of the future."

Mayor Strimbold said the council will consider the request of the school district during the next council meeting on Jan. 27, 2015

Carmen includes dancing, thievery, a bullfighter, gambling, passion, desire - and bloodshed.

It’s Spain, after all! This is a show that

says the report. Poverty, inadequate housing, economic and social relegation, among other factors, contribute to their increased vulner-ability to violence.

The report states that the root causes of this issue are related to “a history of discrimina-tion beginning with colonization and con-tinuing through inad-equate and unjust laws and policies such as the Indian Act and forced enrolment in residential schools that continue to affect them [Aboriginal Peoples].”

“Through policies imposed without their consent, Aboriginal Peoples in Canada have had to deal with dispos-session of their tradi-tional territories, dis-association with their traditional roles and responsibilities, disas-sociation with partici-pation in political and social decisions in their communities and disas-sociation of their cul-ture and tradition.”

The report also stated that addressing violence against Aboriginal women is not sufficient unless the underlying factors of racial and gender discrimination that originate and exac-erbate the violence are also comprehensively addressed.

Chief Adam said he was happy with the recommendations on the report, but both the federal and provincial governments now have to take action.

“The feds have to take their hands out of the sand and get a pub-lic inquiry in place,” he said. “I hope both levels of government take this very seriously and not give token actions.

According to a report from the B.C. Centre for Disease Control, influenza activity, predominantly A(H3N2), remained at heightened levels in B.C. from Dec. 28, 2014 to Jan. 3, 2015.

Last year, the predominant subtype of influenza was A(H1N1). This year, A(H3N2) has been the main cause for concern.

According to Dr. William Osei, Northern Health Medical Health Officer, there is no difference in symptoms associated with A(H1N1) and A(H3N2).

Dr. Osei said one of the causes for the heightened levels of A(H3N2) this season is that the flu vaccine this year is not as effective against this strain.

Despite the low effectiveness of the vaccine against A(H3N2), the Public Health Agency of Canada states on its website that the vaccine can still "provide some protection" against A(H3N2) and can offer protection against other influenza strains such as A(H1N1) and B.

Most influenza detections continue to be adults above 65 years of age, driven in part by a record number of influenza outbreaks being reported in

long-term care facilities (LTCFs). According to the B.C. Centre for Disease Control, since Sept. 21, 2014, 62 facility influenza outbreaks - including 58 in LTCFs and four in acute care - have been re-ported in the province.

Across the country, from Dec. 28, 2014 to Jan. 3, 2015, there were 166 influenza outbreaks in eight prov-inces, of which 122 were in long-term care facilities.

Despite the many outbreaks across the country, Dr. Osei said the H3N2 strain "still hasn't caused significant problems" in Northern B.C.

The best practices to avoid contracting or passing on the flu include covering your mouth and nose with a tissue when you cough or sneeze; putting your used tissue in the waste basket; coughing or sneezing into your upper sleeve or elbow if you don't have a tissue; washing your hands frequently; and staying home if you are sick.

Dr. Osei said the flu vaccine is still "the best shot against the flu."

In the period of 2013/2014, Northern Health Pub-lic Health administered 23,912 doses of influenza vaccine. Other providers in the region adminis-tered 38,354 doses. So far this season (2014/2015), Northern Health Public Health administered 16,453 doses of influenza vaccine. Pharmasave in Burns Lake has administered approximately 90 flu shots in the 2014/2015 season.

On Jan. 15, 2015, Pharmasave in Burns Lake still had 12 flu shots available, and Rexall Drug Store had approximately 15.

Chief Wilf Adam said women should be offered free rides by commercial carriers on Hwy. 16

Influenza still hasn’t caused significant problems says NH


AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18: Aquarius, dissat-isfaction at work has you wondering if things would be different elsewhere. Sometimes a change of attitude can give you an entirely new perspective.

PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20: Pisces, a loved one comes to you seeking guidance this week, but don’t be bummed if they ultimately do not heed your advice.

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20: Take a leadership role on a work assignment, Aries. If your interest in work has been waning of late, a more active role may help you change your perspective.

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21: Taurus, there is noth-ing you cannot accomplish this week. The sky is the limit in terms of your potential. All you need to do is focus your energy on a particular task.

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21: Let something that’s been bugging you cool off for the time being, Gemini. There’s plenty of time to revisit the situ-ation later, and you will be glad you took some time away.

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22: You’re willing to give a loved one the benefit of the doubt when that per-son makes a proposal that seems to come out of nowhere. Your patience will be appreciated.

LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23: Expect to be surprised by good news, Leo. Share your good fortune with others this week, and you will realize the good news will prove even more enjoyable.

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22: You may benefit from a change of scenery, Virgo. If you have the time, book a getaway to an exotic locale and make the most of this time to rest, relax and recharge.

LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23: Libra, rest assured that a broken heart or bruised ego will not last too long. There are big changes ahead in your personal or professional life, so keep your eyes open.

SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22: Taking charge comes naturally to you, Scorpio. In fact, you thrive in this role. But this week you may have to play second fiddle for the good of the team.

SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21: You seem to be operating on auto-pilot this week, Sagittarius. Your routine has become so ingrained that things are automatic. Make a few minor changes to liven things up.

CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20: Spend the week in as much quiet contemplation as you can man-age, Capricorn. You have a few big questions to work out and can only think when you have pri-vate time.

Recovering a Forgotten WiFi Password in Windows 7 or 8

We all have trouble remembering passwords we don’t use every day, and it usually happens when family comes over and asks to use your WiFi. If you have a Windows 7 or 8 computer that is already connected to the network, and you have access to that computers administrative account, you can recover your existing password. In Windows 7, open the Network & Sharing Center. Click on “Manage Wireless Connections” in the upper left, and then locate your network in the list. Double click on the network to open it, then open the Security tab. Your password will be hidden, but if you click on the “Show characters” check box, it will be revealed. Windows 8 is slightly different. Go to the Control Panel and open Network and Internet. Click on “View network status and tasks”. You should see the word “Connections”, and near it you should see a WiFi icon and the name of your network. Click on the network and in the window that pops up click on Wireless Properties. Click on the Security Tab, then put a check next to Show characters and you have your password.

Eugene Edward Lund March 1, 1947 – December 31, 2014

Eugene passed away peacefully on Wednesday, December 31, 2014 with Chau at his side. He was predeceased by his parents Carl and Elinor Lund, sister Eunice Lennie and nephew Robert Lennie.

Survived by his loving family - brother Darcy (Suzette) Lund, sister Sandra (Arie) Birston, nephew Richard (Shari) Lennie, niece Melanie Ness, niece Valerie (Mark) Strickland-Lennie, niece Savannah Lund and nephew Levi Lund great nephews and nieces Aiden, Aryna, Tanner, Trey, Michael, Elizabeth, Brae and loving friends that were his family - Chau, Khon and Jonathan Ly as well as many other family members and friends.

Eugene was born in Burns Lake BC and lived most of his life in Houston BC. One of the things he loved the most was the time he spent with his closest friends, his family Khon, Chau and Jonathan. He loved being their personal chauffeur and could always be found at Lee’s Garden hanging out, drinking coffee and being very well fed on a daily basis.

Eugene left school in Grade 10; however, he continued to learn on his own. He was a very intelligent man who taught himself how to fix anything and everything. Mechanics came naturally to him. He loved old cars, motorbikes, snowmobiling and go carts and enjoyed maintaining and fixing them as required. He had a knack for figuring things out; whether it be engines, motors, appliances, the intricate tying of flies for fly fishing or rebuilding computers it was never a problem for him, he was always up to challenge.

Eugene loved music; his favourite song was “Born to be Wild.” Being adventuresome, Eugene loved traveling, it didn’t matter if it was back packing around Europe and Brazil or riding his motorcycle through the United States and Canada he loved doing it all. He spent a lot of time sledding on the Telkwa Range, drag racing, tenting, and later on camping in the motor home at Morice Lake, just a few of his many passions. He even won the title of “King of the Hill.”

Eugene was respected in the community and the trucking industry. Prior to retirement, he drove many years for others and later bought his own truck and became an owner/operator.

Eugene was a very kind and gentle man with a big heart, a loyal friend with a willingness to help when asked, a soft spot for stray cats and a wonderful sense of humor, he will be missed by all who knew him.

Arrangements were entrusted to Mackays Funeral Service. A Memorial Tea was held at Lee’s Garden Sunday, January 4th.

Special thanks to the following:~ Dr. Petorias, Dr. Irwin, nurses and staff at Bulkley Valley Hospital~ Dr. Sandra Vestvik, Sally Sullivan and Jana Seinen for bringing Eugene home to Houston~ Nurses and Staff at Houston Health Centre for the loving support given to the family and for the care provided to Eugene in his final days ~ Houston Paramedics and Fire Department~ Phyllis Jellett for the relaxing massages and haircuts~ Irene Barden and Teresa Stump for providing respite and support for Chau and the family~ Ron and Clara Farrell for their and help and support~ Countrywide Staff for helping with the program~ Khon and Jonathan Ly for preparing a slide show with music~ Diane Fennema and Kristina Dekker for preparing a wonderful lunch for the tea~ Marilyn Kerr and Stacey Westgarde for providing and serving refreshments~ Jodi Fennema and Allison Seinen for cleaning up after the dinner~ Wheat Lam for providing dessert for the Family Dinner

It is difficult to put in to words how truly grateful we are as a family, thank you for the support we have received, the cards and the flowers. Please know that the love and gratitude we feel will be in our hearts forever and thank you to all those who took time to attend the Memorial Tea in Eugene’s honor we truly appreciate your thoughtfulness shown to us during this time of celebration, remembrance and grief.

Chau, Sandra, Darcy and families

Don LauberJanuary 9, 1932 - January 7, 2015

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing away of Don Lauber on January 7, 2015 at the age of 82 years old.Don was born in Breton Alberta on January 9, 1932 to Joe and Pearl Lauber. He grew up in Breton and lived there until he began working away from home at

around the age of 18. Don moved to B.C in 1954 to work for Pearson Lumber Company along with some other men from around Breton, Alberta. They lived in a logging camp at Tal-tapin Lake. Don returned to Alberta in 1957 and worked in a lumber camp in the Smith, Alberta area. He met Joyce Zamis-ki who was teaching school in the camp. They were married in 1958 in Edmonton AB and returned to live at Taltapin Lake. Their fi rst daughter Janet was born October 12, 1958 while at Taltapin Lake. On November 4,1960, a second child was born, a baby boy named Darren Richard Lauber who sadly did not survive at birth. The family then moved to live in a logging camp at Babine Lake along with some of the other men from the Breton area and their families.Don, Joyce and Janet moved to the town of Burns Lake in the spring of 1962 and their second daughter Donna was born on July 11, 1962. Don worked for the Forestry Department for a period of time, and then began working for a number of years driving heavy machinery for George Hart whom he tru-ly respected and thought very highly of. Their third daughter Shannon was born on April 11, 1965. Shortly after Shannon was born the family moved to a farm in the Palling communi-ty which he dearly loved, not only for the great friendly peo-ple, but for the beautiful land. Don started his own road con-struction company and operated one of the cats until about 1989 when he could no longer drive because of health issues. He continued to run his company for a number of years. He was diagnosed as having Multiple Sclerosis in the mid 1980’s. Don and Joyce lived in Palling at the farm until July, 2006. We would like to thank all of the care workers that came out to Palling in all kinds of weather to take care of him over the last years that he lived there. Without all of your help and care he would not have been able to stay there as long as he did. You made it much easier for the entire family to know that he was being looked after and he truly was grateful to be able stay at his home in Palling. Don moved to the Tweedsmuir House in Burns Lake from Palling in 2006. As everyone knows Don did not want to leave his home in Palling and it was a hard time to have to leave Palling not only for him but for the entire family. However due to the wonderful facility, and amazing staff at the Tweedsmuir House he felt at home within 3 weeks and loved living there. This made it much easier for the family to be able to relax knowing how happy he was. We would like to send our sincere thanks to all of the staff that worked there during the time he was a resident there. It truly helps to have such dedicated people in the community that make a family members transition from their home into a facility happy for them. Don moved to the Pines in August 2012 and once again he had a hard time leaving his home at the Tweedsmuir House. However, once he became adjusted to his new home at The Pines he was happy there and we know that he appreciated all of the help that everyone there gave him. You truly are an amazing group of people. It takes a special type of person to be able to do the work that you do, so a big heartfelt thank you to the entire staff at The Pines.Over the years Don was in the hospital several times for many different reasons. He was always treated with respect and well taken care of. Thank you to all of the staff at the Lakes District Hospital and Northern Health for taking care of our Beloved Dad, Husband, Grandfather and Uncle over the years. Last but defi nitely not least we have to give a big thank you to all of the Doctors that took care of Don over the years. Burns Lake is very lucky to have such wonderful Doctors in the community. Dr. Norman, Dr. Graetz and Dr. Annandale thank you for looking after our father over the years. He looked up to all of you, talked very highly of you and respected you immensely. Don was pre-deceased by his father Joseph Lauber, mother Pearl Lauber,brother Jack Lauber,and sister Marie Hansen. He is survived by his wife Joyce, 3 daughters Janet Lauber, Donna Hodge (Frank) and Shannon Lauber. Grand daugh-ters, Marley, Dakota and Jenna, numerous cousins, nieces and nephews. I know that our father would like to thank Alford Eakin for always being there for him, but especially in the last few months. You were a very special person in his life and thank you from the family. Donations to be made the M/S society. A celebration of life ceremony will be held this summer in Burns Lake B.C for Don and we will announce the exact date at a later time.

DOUG HILLFeb. 9, 1944 - Dec. 9, 2014

Loving husband, amazing fa-ther, wonderful brother, playful grandfather and great-grandfa-ther, loyal friend who was al-ways dedicated to being the best person possible, Doug died on Tuesday, December 9, 2014 after a year-long battle with lung cancer.He is survived by his wife, Nina (née Baer); daughters, Marci Dell (Steven), Heather Doty (Terry), Haley Hill (Hel-en); grandchildren, Bryan, Dustin (Mikayla), T.R., Devan, Kyra, Sumner, Evan, Marin, Amy and Megan; as well as great-granddaughter Kayleigh, all of whom he loved deeply and who adored and respect-ed him.Pre-deceased by his parents, Frank and Wanda Hill, and his sister Diana, Doug is survived by his sisters, Mary and Nan-cy; brothers, Don and Ken and many nieces, nephews, great-nieces and great-nephews as well as many loving relatives on Nina’s side of the family.Born in Oregon on February 9, 1944, Doug married Nina on November 9, 1963.

Over the years he was also involved in Rotary, Air Cadets, RCMP Auxiliary and was a volunteer fi reman. He loved children, travelling, sun and spending time with family and friends. Over the last three years, he was able to re-alize his lifelong dream of trav-elling in an RV with his wife.Doug (Papa, Papa Doug) was adored by all who knew him and will be greatly missed. Anyone lucky enough to have known him is better for it.A private family service was held on December 28th in Parksville, BC, at his request.
