According to Northern Health, there are two laboratory-confirmed cases of whooping cough (pertussis) in Burns Lake, including a student at Lakes Dis-trict Secondary School (LDSS).

Last week, LDSS students were sent home with a letter from Northern Health warning parents that their child may have been in contact with a case of pertussis.

Pertussis is a contagious disease of the lungs and throat, caused by a bac-terium found in the mouth, nose and throat of an infected person. The dis-ease is spread when the sick person coughs or sneezes the germ into the air, where other people can breathe it in.

Manu Madhok, Spokesperson for School District No. 91 (Nechako Lakes), said that in addition to send-ing students home with a letter, the school district followed an internal flu protocol to thoroughly clean LDSS last week.

“This is an enhanced cleaning, de-veloped in consultation with Northern

Skeena-Bulkley Valley candidates faced a room with several empty seats during the all candidate’s debate in Burns Lake.

Approximately 39 people attended the event held at the Lakes District Secondary School on Sept. 28, 2015.

“I worry sometimes of the health of our de-mocracy in this country,” said NDP Candidate Nathan Cullen.

Federal election candidates answered ques-

tions on issues ranging from liquefied natural gas (LNG), ISIS and the recent cutbacks at the College of New Caledonia (CNC).

Cullen took the time to comment on the current situation at the Lakes District CNC.

“What is going on with the college here is, and I want choose my words here carefully, but a travesty, that there are decisions being made in Prince George [and by the Ministry of Education] at senior levels to strip away much of the success that this college has built up over the many years; and it would be

a shame to walk back all those years of suc-cess,” he said.

Liberal Party candidate Brad Layton iden-tified three major issues in our region: the economy, the environment and infrastructure.

Both Layton and Cullen saw the environ-ment and the economy as being inextricably linked.

“We can’t have good environmental stan-dards if we don’t have a good economy, we’ve seen it in the past when our economy goes

WHOOPING COUGH from t P1

Health, specific to these types of situations,” he explained.

According Madhok, no other schools within School District No. 91 have seen cases or pertus-sis so far this year.

As per provincial health protocols, the school district follows instructions from Northern Health when there is a diagnosis of a potentially contagious infection.

Jonathon Dyck, Northern Health Spokesper-son, said that although Northern B.C. has seen an increase in the number of pertussis cases this year, the situation is not considered an outbreak.

“It’s what we would expect at this time of the year,” said Dyck.

Back in August 2015, Alberta Health Services declared a pertussis outbreak in Northern Alberta. While Northern Alberta usually sees 40 to 50 cas-es over an entire year, as of Aug. 26, 2015, there were 182 laboratory-confirmed cases of pertussis.

“Northern Health has been closely monitoring the situation in Northern Alberta,” said Dyck. “We have a lot of people in Northeast B.C. travelling to Alberta, so we want to make sure that we’re pro-active in promoting safety precautions.”

According to Northern Health, the best way to protect your children against pertussis is to get them immunized.

The pertussis vac-cine is part of the nor-mal childhood vacci-nations that are given at two months, four months, six months, and 18 months old, and again at age four and six. A pertussis vaccine is also given to teens at 14 to 16 years of age in B.C.

“Parents should also consider it [the vaccine] for themselves,” said Dyck.Early symptoms of pertussis are like those of a cold - sneezing, runny nose, a low fever and a mild

cough. But over the next week or two, the cough gets worse leading to longer spells of coughing that often end with a whoop or crowing sound when the person breathes in. The coughing may be so bad that it makes a person gag or throw up. Sometimes a thick, clear mucous is spat out.

According to HealthLink B.C., a person who has pertussis and does not get treated can spread the germs to others for up to three weeks after the coughing spells start.

An early diagnosis of pertussis and the treatment with antibiotics right away will help prevent you from spreading the disease to those that are at the most risk from the disease - infants less than one year of age, and pregnant women in the last three months of pregnancy.

Northern Health encourages parents to call HealthLink B.C. at 811 if they suspect someone in their family is experiencing symptoms of pertussis. Nurses are available to answer questions about symp-toms and provide guidance seven days a week.

Situation considered not a outbreak

According to Northern Health, the best way to protect your children against pertussis is to get them immunized. The pertussis vaccine is part of the normal childhood vaccinations that are given at two months, four months, six months, and 18 months old, and again at age four and six. A pertussis vaccine is also given to teens at 14 to 16 years of age in B.C.

In the early story ‘Chinook Community Forest slower than an-ticipated’ published in the Lakes District News’ Feb. 11, 2015, edition, the Chinook Community Forest interim board of direc-tors were hoping that harvesting would begin in the 2015/16 win-ter season.

Since then, the board of directors have submitted the forest stewardship plan, management plan, and business plan to the ministry of forest, lands and natu-ral resource operations for review in order for the ministry to award the community forest license.

The ministry of forests con-firmed that the submitted plans have been received by the minis-try and are currently under review. The review of the plans is expect-ed to be completed by late fall/early winter of 2015.

Burns Lake Mayor Luke Strim-bold said the board of directors is still optimistic that harvesting will begin in the 2015/16 winter season.

“We are working with the ministry of forests to ensure the for-est stewardship plan, management plan, and cutting permits are being processed and approved,” said Strimbold. “This is to en-sure that when the community forest corporation is operational, the license can be awarded, cutting permits issued, and harvest-ing can begin as soon as possible.”

The Chinook Community Forest is a partnership of two local governments - Village of Burns Lake and the Regional District of Bulkley-Nechako (RDBN) – and six local First Nations groups - Burns Lake Band, Lake Babine Nation, Cheslatta Carrier Nation, Wet’suwet’en First Nation, Skin Tyee Nation and Nee Tahi Buhn First Nation.

The project started when stakeholders at Hampton Affiliates

were deciding whether or not to move forward with the rebuild-ing of the Babine Forest Products sawmill after the explosion in 2012. One of the main concerns back then was the amount of timber available to supply the mill. The stakeholders stated that, to justify a rebuild, enough timber in the Lakes timber sup-ply area needed to be available. The need for enough timber to supply the mill led local officials to propose to the provincial government that a second community forest be added to the area.

The proposed Chinook Community Forest would be run with the same legal structure as the Burns Lake Community Forest,

with an annual allowable cut of 150,000 cubic metres per year.

Back in March 2015, the Village of Burns Lake with-drew from RDBN’s Chinook Community Forest economic development function. In a subsequent interview, Strim-bold said the decision was prompted by council’s desire to have direct representation

on the Chinook Community Forest board and hold its own shares in the new company.

“The Chinook Community Forest is unique in many ways,” said Strimbold. “It is currently the largest community forest in the province and it is the only community forest in the province to have a partnership between six First Nations (Burns Lake Band, Lake Babine Nation, Cheslatta Carrier Nation, Wet’suwet’en, Skin Tyee Nation and Nee Tahi Buhn Indian Band) and two local governments.” Strimbold said this community forest is a unique agreement not only locally, but provincially.

“This is the first time in history that we have a partnership be-tween the six local First Nations and the two local governments,” he said. “Forestry has been the economic driver for our commu-nity for decades and it will continue to support the success of local businesses in our community.”

“IT IS CURRENTLY THE LARGEST COMMUNITY

FOREST IN THE PROVINCE AND IT IS THE ONLY COMMUNITY FOREST IN THE PROVINCE TO HAVE

A PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN SIX FIRST NATIONS AND TWO LOCAL GOVERNMENTS

–MAYOR STRIMBOLD

The federal budget doc-ument began with an omi-nous warning about deep cuts. Social programs, jus-tice and corrections would be spared as much as pos-sible, but no department would escape the knife.

The stark truth was re-vealed in a table of figures. Health care spending, the core of the Canadian state, was cut by 3.8 per cent in just the first year of the

fiscal plan, as population and need continued to grow.No, this is not from the Stephen Harper budget of

April 2015, or any other in the last decade. It’s from the Jean Chretien budget of 1995, more than 20 years ago. That’s the last time anyone actually cut health care spending.

But wait, you may say. Didn’t I hear that Harper has slashed health care spending by $30 billion? Yes, you probably did hear the biggest, most brazen lie of

this election campaign, either from the government unions that advertised it or the politicians who parrot it.

If health care really is everyone’s high-priority issue, as pollsters have long assured us, voters should at least know the facts.

After cutting provincial health and social services transfers for years to end the string of operat-ing deficits that began under Pierre Trudeau and continued under Brian Mulroney, Liberal finance minister Paul Martin rose briefly to the top job.

In 2004, Martin staged meetings with premiers, emerging with what was billed as “a fix for a generation,” with federal health transfers to rise six per cent each year into the future.

The future for Martin’s government lasted only two years, as his minority was replaced with one led by Harper.

These galloping increases continued until the Conservative majority of 2011, after which then-finance minister Jim Flaherty came to Victoria to inform provincial finance ministers of the new plan. (I was there, and the joke was that this was as far from Ottawa as Flaherty could get without leaving Canada.)

The six-per-cent increases, by that time triple inflation, would continue for another five years. Starting in 2017-18, increases would be tied to economic growth, with a minimum hike of three per cent, still well ahead of today’s inflation. That remains the Conservative plan today.

All provinces east of Saskatchewan pitched a fit. Manitoba’s NDP finance minister termed it “un-Canadian.” Lefties immediately called it a cut, to which Flaherty replied that transfers to provinces would rise from $30 billion to $38 billion in 2018-19, and continue to grow after that.

In B.C., then-finance minister Kevin Falcon praised the long-term approach, acknowledging that health spending was ballooning to half of the provincial budget and had to be brought under control as baby boomers start to retire. B.C. has largely accomplished that, with spending in-creases below three per cent and health care outcomes that continue to lead the country.

As the current election campaign turns into the home stretch, Statistics Canada has announced a milestone. For the first time in history, the number of seniors exceeds number of children. This demographic shift is inexorable, predictable and must be addressed by whoever wins the Oct. 19 federal election.

NDP leader Thomas Mulcair is on record that he will scrap the Conservative formula for growth-based increases that he pretends are cuts, returning to six per cent every year while bal-ancing the budget. Little detail has been provided on how this would be done.

Liberal leader Justin Trudeau announced in Surrey last week that he will ante up an extra $3 bil-lion over four years for health care, and “sit down with the provinces immediately” to renegotiate, a rerun of Paul Martin’s political theatre.

t Editorial

A brief history of health spending

tom flEtchEr

Over the past year, Canada had the smallest population growth since 1999.

According to Statistics Canada, this was mainly driven by a slowdown in international migra-tion growth. Canada got nearly 30,000 fewer im-migrants in the past year compared to the previous year.

I haven’t seen any stud-ies on why fewer immigrants have chosen to come to Canada yet, but I can only assume this had nothing to do with the increasingly cold winters.

Over the past few years, the Conservative gov-ernment made several changes to immigration pro-grams, including the popular temporary foreign worker program.

When the government made drastic changes to this program, many foreign workers had to leave the country or apply to other immigration programs in a desperate attempt to stay in Canada. This ended up backlogging other immigration programs and substantially increasing process-ing times (and this is why your favourite editor is currently not in Canada) (yes, I was talking about me).

Over the past few years the federal government has also emphasized the importance of “pre-serving Canadian jobs.” You can see the phrase “Canadian jobs first” in most press releases about immigration policies, as well as in immigration programs descriptions on government websites. And of course, there is no denial that preserving Canadian jobs is vital. After all, the government has to make sure that graduates are able to enter the workforce.

The problem is that stressing the need to “preserve Canadian jobs” does not reflect the cur-rent reality and needs of the country. According to Statistics Canada, for the first time, there are more people over 65 than under 14 in the country. As baby boomers are retiring, there is a growing shortage of skilled workers in many areas of the country. So when politicians stress the importance of “preserving Canadian jobs,” they don’t seem to be tackling the real issue. Instead it seems they are communicating directly with people who fear foreign workers might steal their jobs. But are these politicians right? Are foreign workers really “stealing Canadian jobs”?

The answer that many experts will agree is that foreign workers are not simply “stealing Canadian jobs;” they are buying cars, buying clothes, buying houses, opening businesses. They are helping move the economy.

Of course, there were many problems with Canada’s immigration system that needed to be addressed, including issues with its temporary foreign worker program. But the federal govern-ment could have found a solution to these problems that did not result in a dramatic slowdown in international migration grown; a solution that did not send thousands of foreign workers home and discouraged new ones from coming to Canada.

This year the government also started a new immigration system called ‘Express Entry.’ The way it works is that people from all over the world create a profile on a website and are attrib-uted a score based on their education level and work experience. The government then draws applications from the pool of applicants and “invite them to apply” for permanent residency.

The biggest problem with this program is that it does not benefit people who are already in Canada such as international students.

Many international students - who paid thousands of dollars to come to Canada and spent years adapting to Canadian culture – are being sent back home. I don’t see how this could be good for Can-ada or the economy. The message from politicians regarding immigration needs to be more consistent, and it needs to reflect the current reality of Canada – a country that needs skilled workers. Canada has one of the fairest immigration systems in the world, and it needs to maintain its good reputation.

Preserving Canadian jobs, right?

downhill our environmental standards slide be-cause we want the jobs,” said Layton.

It also didn’t take long for the issue of LNG de-velopment to surface.

“Small businesses need larger sized businesses in order to thrive and that’s why I’m a big supporter of LNG,” Conservative Party Candidate Tyler Nesbit said.

Cullen came out in support LNG development as well, but “only if it is done properly”. He believes locals would feel more comfortable with LNG if they had more meaningful input.

In reference to the Unist’ot’en camp, Cullen ex-plained, “The situation speaks to the fact that we need a better system of resource development in this country and we need to resolve First Nations lands and titles questions.”

Nesbitt fielded questions about his party’s om-nibus bills, and ongoing free trade negotiations including the trans pacific partnership. Nesbitt ar-gued that concerns about the agreements were un-founded, insisting, “We have a viscous negotiating team that is going to look after those [Canadian] interests.”

The infrastructure deficit was another looming issue during the meeting.

Layton sees taxes being raised by municipalities to pay for infrastructure issues as inevitable unless the federal government intervenes. Both Layton and Nesbit discussed their party’s plan to launch infrastructure-funding plans by borrowing while interest rates are low.

Christian Heritage party candidate Don Spratt agreed but reiterated, “We won’t run deficits and we will live within our means.”

Spratt spent the meeting emphasizing his party’s main concerns over religion and abortion. He de-scribed himself as “a voice crying in the wilder-ness of political correctness these days” and when asked on his opinion about Canada’s involvement in Syria, Spratt argued that although humanitarian action is essential he cautioned about radical ele-ments saying, “We must be careful with refugees and terrorist infiltration.”

The all candidates’ debate was presented by the Burns Lake and District Chamber of Commerce and hosted by Steve Davis.

Green Party candidate Jeannie Parnell did not at-tend the event.

editor:With regards to your article in the Sept.

23 Lakes District News regarding chief`s salaries, I believe it is important to clarify a few facts with regards specifically to the Cheslatta Carrier Nation (CCN).

Firstly, I am completely comfortable with the transparency of an audit of all federal funds received by an Indian Band, however, I strongly object to the fact that bands must publish an audit of all private-ly earned revenue. I can confirm that not a penny of funds received from the Federal government is applied to chief and coun-cil salaries and compensation. For your information, for every dollar the Cheslatta Carrier Nation receives from the federal government, they earn five dollars through their privates businesses, contracts and partnerships. That is one of the highest ratios of the 206 Indian bands in B.C.

Secondly, the Cheslatta Carrier Nation has worked extremely hard for many, many years developing and grooming business-es and partnerships. They are a significant

factor, as are the other lo-cal First Na-tions, in the

local, regional and provincial economy. For years, non-Cheslatta residents have enjoyed the fruits of CCN`s businesses and partnerships including the Southside Health and Wellness Centre, Three Na-tions Water Project, the upgrade and pav-ing of Keefes Landing Road to Ootsa Lake and the Grassy Plains School Hot Lunch Program. CCN constantly reinvests in their community as a whole including sponsorship of the playground equipment at Grassy School, leasing a state of the art fire truck back to the Southside Vol-unteer Fire Department for a dollar per year, purchasing a new sound system for the Grassy Plains Hall, gifting a $25,000 wharf to the Southside Community…just to name a few.

And finally, current Chief, Corrina Leween, is not simply an elected figure-head. Chief Leween is an educated pro-fessional with 35 years of experience in high level management and administra-tion. As with most elected chiefs, she and her council are solely accountable for all aspects of overseeing and managing an entire community, including all political, social and economic issues. Cheslatta chief and council each are responsible

for substantial portfolios including social, health and education of their constituents. They also manage community infrastruc-ture, housing, business negotiations, lo-cal, regional and national political issues, economic development, employment, and protecting the historical and cultural in-tegrity of their land and history.

The three members of the Cheslatta chief and council carry out their duties on a daily basis and are on call 24 hours a day seven days a week, without the com-fort of a comprehensive support staff and structure enjoyed by municipal or regional district governments. While they have a dedicated and professional team working for the benefit of the people, they are al-ways challenged by capacity and therefore must assume the duties of several profes-sional at any given time.

We should celebrate the fact that the Lakes District is supported by a group of innovative and progressive First Nations that add so much to the vitality and sus-tainability of our communities.

Sincerely,Mike Robertson, Senior Policy Advisor

Cheslatta Carrier Nation

us play it by picking the party we agree with most from a wide palette of various, and often conflict-ing, promises.

The big problem usually comes after the elec-tion when we wonder why we bothered to play the voting game at all. For the winning party fre-quently appears either to have forgotten what they promised, or have not followed through on what they have promised. In the worst-case scenario (quite common, these days), they have promised one thing but do the opposite! In other words, they show their true colours!

Naturally enough, voters become disillusioned and even cynical. Many of us choose not to vote at all, feeling that our vote means nothing. However, by not voting, we allow others to choose for us.

We lose our chance to be in the game and to effect change.

For those of us who still genuinely care about the outcome, there is a simple formula to follow. We must tune out the advertising, ignore the polls, and check the recent history of each party. Which actions or achievements of any particular party do you commend and endorse? Which past scandals have served to sour you on politicians, in gen-eral? Remember: Past actions predict future per-formance. The corollary of this formula might be “performance has little to do with promises”.

So do your homework, be true to your deepest values, and mark your ballot for the colour that best suits you. Exercise the democratic power you pos-sess and vote.

Ronn Boeur, Salmon Arm, B.C.

editor:I recall about 10 years ago as the pine beetle was

first seen in Tweedsmuir Park the question arose as whether or not to deal with the issue. The answer came back, a tree is a tree, is a tree. We do not log trees in the park.

The wolves are killing the herds of Caribou and some management is needed to preserve wild life for the future. Mankind was placed on the earth to manage and use its resources.

A few years back we took our dog to a vet to abort the pups.

She refused us this service even though there was a possibility the mother could die trying to give birth.

I see folks speaking up on the rights of trees, wolves and dogs but many remain silent as thou-sands of helpless infants are killed in North Amer-ica every year.

There is a God who is watching and recording and will someday require an answer. Human life is sacred and cannot be destroyed without conse-quence.

“We have never had to deal with such a thing before,” organizers say

Flavio NieNow

Despite the success of the 72 annual Lakes Dis-trict fall fair, one unfortunate incident took place during the event.

According to event organizers, antique tractors were vandalized at some point during the event that took place from Sept. 10 to 13, 2015. Organizers are not sure exactly which day of the event the in-cident took place.

“Fuel caps were taken off some of the tractors and water was put into the tanks; and the caps were replaced,” explained Gordon McFee, one of the fall fair organizers. “There is not a water source close to the tractors, so water would have had to be carried some distance.”

McFee said this is the first time fall fair organiz-ers had to deal with an act of vandalism.

“The fall fair organizers and owners of the trac-tors were very disappointed with this act of vandal-ism, as we have never had to deal with any such thing before,” said McFee. “We were surprised that something of this nature could happen, especial-ly in view of the fact that we have 24/7 security on the grounds during fair weekend.”

Fall organizers did not contact the RCMP about this incident and have no suspects in mind.

Another unusual incident at the Lakes District fall fair

Besides antique

tractors being vandal-ized during this year’s Lakes District fall fair, another unusual inci-dent took place during the event.

On Friday night, Sept. 11, the main gate to the fairgrounds was damaged by a white pickup truck “ramming the gate several times,” according to event or-ganizers.

“In this case, the se-curity knew it was a white pickup, but by the time they [security] got to the gate, the ve-hicle was gone,” said Gordon McFee, one of the fall fair organizers.

The Burns Lake de-tachment of the RCMP was notified about this incident. However, cor-poral Terry Gillespie said the suspect was not located.

FLAVIO NIENOW

The 2015 wildfire season was a busy one for B.C., with over 297,000 hectares burnt across the province.

To help reduce the wildfire risk to communi-ties, the provincial government has announced a top-up of $10 million to B.C.’s strategic wildfire prevention initiative.

In addition, the province is developing the so-called ‘forest enhancement program,’ intended to help local governments and First Nations reduce wildfire risks around their communities, especially in interface areas where urban developments border on forests and grasslands.

Firescaping, also known as landscape fire man-agement planning, will see thinned park-like for-ests established on Crown land surrounding com-munities at high risk from wildfire.

The forest enhancement program is also intended to undertake salvage harvesting of dead timber and enhance reforestation efforts and wildlife habitat restoration in stands severely impacted by wildfires and mountain pine beetle.

The program is expected to be operational in 2016-17.

Sheryl Worthing, Chief Administrative Officer for the Village of Burns Lake, said the village still needs to update its community wildfire protection plan (CWPP) before it can apply to the new provin-cial program. The CWPP update will be complete by spring of 2016.

“Once the CWPP is updated we will have the in-formation we need to apply for this [new program] and be able to begin reducing wildfire risks around our community,” said Worthing.

According to the provincial government, the in-creased investment in reforestation will restore and enhance wildlife habitat that has been disturbed by the mountain pine beetle infestation and the ac-companying large-scale salvage harvesting that oc-curred.

The program will specifically target areas that were previously thought to be too uneconomic to harvest and reforest. Revenues generated from the sale of harvested timber and residual wood fibre from firescaping fuel management treatments and preparing areas for reforestation will be re-invested into the fund.

Pinnacle Pellet’s investment pays off as they

pass emissions test again

The company has had no problems with air quality control tests

Flavio NieNow

In the story ' Pinnacle Pellet undergoes quarterly emissions stack test' published in the Lakes District News' July 2, 2014, edition, Pinnacle Pellet had invested $5 million in a new wet electrostatic precipita-tor (WESP) scrubber. The new WESP system uses electrostatic energy to trap wet particles in the piping.

The reason for the investment was that the company had routinely failed to pass the ministry of environ-ment's emissions stack test - an air test that is focused on the level of particle emissions.

Although efforts had been made to improve on the old system, Pinnacle Pellet repeatedly failed to pass the air quality control tests, and had come under scrutiny by residents in the surrounding area.

A web poll conducted by Lakes District News in 2014 showed that 62.5 per cent of those who answered the poll question were skeptical of Pinnacle Pellet's ability to pass the air quality control tests.

But the $5 million investment has paid off.According to the Ministry of Environment, since the WESP scrubber was implemented in May 2014,

the pellet plant has not exceeded their permit limits for emissions.“Plant is operating well,” said Leroy Reitsma, President of Pinnacle Pellet. “Tests have been good on

the WESP system.” Pinnacle Pellet's plant in Burns Lake is the largest of the company's six B.C. plants with the capacity to

produce 400,000 metric tonnes of product annually. The five other wood pellet plants located in B.C. are in Armstrong, Strathnaver, Williams Lake, Quesnel and Houston, and the company's offices are located in Prince George and Vancouver.

Economic slump dominates federal election

Tom FleTcher

Sliding stock markets and sagging natural resource prices have raised the stakes for the Oct. 19 federal election, as parties try to position themselves as the best choice to deal with an economic slump.

Statistics Canada's release of data showing small contractions of the Canadian economy in the first two quarters of the year sparked a prolonged exchange between party leaders over whether the country is or was in a recession.

Economists such as Central 1 Credit Union's Helmut Pastrick have mostly agreed the downturn is pri-marily based on low oil and gas prices, and isn't a full-fledged recession. Central 1 forecasts continued slow economic growth for southern B.C. based on the low Canadian dollar and improvement in the U.S. economy.

Conservative leader Stephen Harper noted that the statistics showed a return to economic growth in June, and he accused Liberal leader Justin Trudeau of over-reacting to "a couple of months of weak data"

to commit his party to up to three years of deficit spending.

Trudeau's abrupt change of position on running deficits of up to $10 billion a year has redefined the debate. Trudeau unveiled what he called the big-gest infrastructure plan in Canadian history, dou-bling the current Conservative budget from $5 bil-lion to $10 billion in the next two fiscal years and continuing to increase it over 10 years.

Harper has mainly run on his government's re-cord, including an increase in the Universal Child Care Benefit and cutting the Goods and Services Tax. The Conservatives estimate their measures have benefited the average family by up to $6600 a year.

Election 2015: Politicians pitch to parents

Parents are spending the money and feeling the love like never before from parties contesting the Oct. 19 federal election. Prime Minister Stephen Harper expanded his favoured approach of direct payments, increasing the Conservative govern-ment’s child care benefit plan that has been com-pared to the former Family Allowance.

The increase was set up to produce bonus cheques to eligible parents in July, retroactive to the start of the year. Payments went up from $100 to $160 a month for each child under six, with a new $60 payment for those aged seven to 17, pay-able to families regardless of income or method of child care.

Liberal leader Justin Trudeau responded by promising a modified version that would phase out the benefit for high-income families and increase payments for the rest.

Building into its calculations a proposed income tax cut for middle and low-income people, the par-ty estimates a two-parent family with an income of $90,0000 and two children would receive $490 a month tax free, compared to the Conservative pro-

gram of $275 a month after taxes.

The Liberals calcu-late that a single parent with $30,000 income and one child would re-ceive $533 a month, up from $440 under Con-servative child benefit and tax rules.

NDP leader Thomas Mulcair has offered to retain the Conservative payments and expand Quebec’s subsidized daycare program across the country, with a maximum payment of $15 a day and a long-term goal of creating one million new spaces across the country.

Mulcair has said the Quebec program al-lowed 70,000 mothers to return to the workforce.

Lake Babine Nation bets on clean energy

Biomass plant is expected to be on the grid by 2017

Flavio NieNow

Lake Babine Nation (LBN) is betting on the construction of a biomass plant to provide clean energy to its members and create a steady revenue stream.

Expected to be on the grid by 2017, the biomass plant will burn wood chips to sell heat to govern-ment organizations, private homes in Woyenne and community buildings in Fort Babine.

Chief Wilf Adam said negotiations are still tak-ing place and it is still undetermined how much revenue the plant will generate for LBN once com-pleted.

The project’s phase one, which is still ongoing, includes engineering feasibility study, engineering design, crew training and work experience for fire-wood program.

During phase one, seven local First Nations people received on-the-job training through a gov-

ernment-funded pro-gram. During the 47-week program, which wrapped up in June 2015, participants built

6 7 firewood storage sheds for LBN in Tachet and

Fort Babine, as well as two timber bridges.

Lake Babine Na-tion’s biomass project manager Bernard Pat-rick said this job cre-ation partnership has impacted the commu-

n i ty "in positive ways," saying the seven locals

received “fantastic job experience.”

Chief Adam said he i s still unsure how long

phase one will take.Phase two will in-

clude the construc-tion of an underground distribution system in Fort Babine, a com-munity of about 200 members.

Phase three of the construction project, which is expected to wrap up in 2017, will see the construction of

a n energy centre in Woy-enee, as well as a busi-ness set-up and opera-tion training.

Once completed, the biomass plant is expected to create five full-time and eight part-time permanent jobs.

He lived most of his life in Burns Lake after being born in Princeton, BC, the younger brother of Elmer (Doris) and Sonja (Doug). He also lived in Houston, BC and Australia. He did a lot of traveling with Rhoda, his loving wife of 55 years and his 3 children; Darrell (Louise), Dwayne (Ginny - predeceased) and Donna May (Gord).

He had 4 precious grandchildren; Tyrone (Nadina), TJ (Pat), Amy and Jesse, 4 great grandchildren (Kendra, Alyssa, Nate, Taylor and Drew) and 1 on the way. And last but not least, his beloved dog Jake.

We all felt so loved and safe knowing he was in our world. We will miss him so much. He knows now what we all wonder. Our lives will move on with him in our hearts.

Errol loved life and truly lived it. His sense of humour was the BEST! He rarely called anyone by their real name; even referred to himself as Errol Flynn, but was known to old timers as Fuzz. He had many nonsensical sayings that made us all laugh. He regularly danced a little jig as he walked past his family to get himself some ice cream with huckleberry jam. This dance we call the Grandpa Shu� e... just ask Tyrone to demonstrate when you see him.

He enjoyed so many things in his lifetime, including ski jumping and baseball in his younger years. He won 2nd place in the Western Canadian Jumping championships (Grouse Mountain) at 14 years old.

His favourite place was in the bush, whether he was working (logging) or searching for treasure (hunting, � shing, gold mining, picking berries and mushrooms) and much more. His favourite season was fall.

At Errol’s request there will not be a memorial service. Next summer we will have a celebration to honour the man, the legend, the Fuzz!

The family would like to thank the community full of extended family and friends for their amazing support of food and condolences and all of the others who have overwhelmed us with messages of love.

A special thank you also goes out to Errol’s good friend, Gary Hemmerling, who has gone far above and beyond as a friend, then and now.

Errol & Gary, the “voluntolds and pussywillow men,” are so appreciated by the Canadian Cancer Society - donations can be made in Errol’s name to the Canadian Cancer Society, Box 1301, Burns Lake, BC, V0J 1E0.

Entertaining the crowd with Trepak

AndreA Currie photos

Quartetto Gelato, with their current line up of Peter De Sotto, Colin Maier, Alexander Sevastian and Greg Gallagher performed last Sunday in Burns Lake. Colin Maier, the oboist, performed a ‘Trepak’. The violinist Peter De Sotto knelt down as Colin did a somersault over him followed by the Trepak dance and finally the splits! De Soto’s string broke during one of the songs so as he went backstage to fix the violin, the accordion player, Alex Sevastian, who is a four time world accordion champion, played Bach’s famous Toccata and Fugue piece, known as the scary organ song used in Phantom of the Opera and Fantasia completely off the cuff to keep the entertainment going for the enthusiastic crowd

and Reconciliation, said the provincial government is "very supportive" of First Nations exploring energy options for their communities.

“Investing in First Nations clean-energy proj-ects and capacity building supports First Nations to achieve economic self-sufficiency,” said Rustad.

The province provided $40,000 to LBN for a fea-sibility study for the project in 2013, and more than $110,000 for the skills training program.

According to the provincial government, bio-mass resources in B.C. provide cheaper and more sustainable energy to remote communities.

The province has committed itself to maintain a share of at least 90 per cent of its electricity gen-eration from clean and renewable energy sources, and to mandate that all new facilities will have net zero greenhouse gas emissions. Biomass, as a car-bon neutral renewable resource, can make a major contribution towards this goal.

The ministry of forests, lands and natural re-source operations estimates Northern B.C. has the largest availability of wood biomass in the country, with approximately 3.1 million cubic meters of po-tential forest tenure available for use as biomass for energy.

Seven local First Nations people received on-the-job training through a government-funded program that wrapped up in June 2015. During the 47-week program, participants built 67 firewood storage sheds for Lake Babine Nation in Tachet and Fort Babine, as well as two timber bridges.

The NDP candidate was recently in the Lakes District discussing his plan

Flavio NieNow

Incumbent Skeena-Bulkley Valley MP Nathan Cullen was recently in Burns Lake making a pledge to support Northern B.C.’s forestry sector if re-elected.

Cullen, who is also the NDP Fi-nance Critic, has held the Skeena-

Bulkley Valley riding since 2004.On Sept. 28, 2015, the candidate toured a local mill and met

with mill workers and management to discuss the NDP's plan to fight for B.C.'s forestry sector.

Cullen said he believes the future for the industry lies in value-added products rather than raw materials.

“We want to start to reduce the number of raw log exports and increase the number of jobs we have in mills across British Columbia and Canada,” Cullen said. “It seems like the province and the federal government have become more addicted to raw exports.”

Cullen said that raw-material exports mean the lowest value for our exports.

“It's actually not exclusive just to the forestry industry, we're seeing that now with raw bitumen pipelines, mining and fish,”

Cullen said. “Just about every natural resource we have is increasingly exported raw and along with it goes the jobs.”

“That's a rip-and-ship mentality that leaves a lot of communities and families without work.”

According to their press release, the NDP has pledged $55 mil-lion in forest product manufacturing, $40 million in research and development and $10 million in marketing for the forestry indus-try.

“What we offer up to both large and small operations is an innova-tion fund,” Cullen said. “So for those people who have ideas about how to add more value to the wood that we get from our forest, also help businesses that ex-ist promote their prod-ucts overseas with our international partners.”

In addition, Cullen said the NDP plans to cut taxes for small busi-nesses from 11 to nine per cent over two years to help smaller forestry

businesses and support value-added manufacturing from private woodlots to equipment supply firms.Cullen repeatedly criticized the Conservative party for their track record in the forestry industry.“We’ve lost tens of thousands of jobs in that industry, we’ve seen a number of mills like the one in Hous-

ton close, and we haven’t seen enough action from government, frankly,” he said. “The results speak for themselves. We’ve lost about 450,000 value-added jobs in Canada since Harper became prime minister.”

Conservative candidate Tyler Nesbitt, however, defended the Conservative’s track record.“We’ve cut taxes for every single person across this country,” Nesbitt said. “And we’re reducing the

small business tax rate.”“It’s interesting he [Cullen] still cites the outcomes and the consequences of the 2008 financial crisis

when it suits his argument, but he won’t cite those things when it doesn’t.”Nesbitt said the Conservative party supports value-added products, pointing to the $43-million invest-

ment for the forestry industry to adopt new technology and develop new products, a $100-million research and development fund and a capital investment allowance.

He also points to the funds derived from the economic action plan.“Year after year, in every single budget, there’s has been billions of dollars invested in protecting that

industry,” Nesbitt said. “Of special interest here is that there’s been a great deal of money spent on helping preserve those industries and those single-industry towns.”

Nesbitt said he would push for greater marketing of Canada’s lumber worldwide, alongside developing new free trade agreements.

The B.C. Council of Forest Industries remains impartial when it comes to the federal election.“We’re hopeful that whatever party forms the next government, they will recognize the continuing

importance of the forest industry to Canada, and particularly to B.C. and Northern B.C.,” said Cam McAl-pine, Spokesperson for the Council of Forest Industries.

McAlpine said the forest sector needs to remain competitive to deal with fluctuating market conditions. “In order to remain competitive, we need security of fibre and operating certainty on the land base,

competitive cost structures, to foster investment in the B.C. industry and economic development in our communities, and continued focus on policies to support free and open market access.”

When asked about the Canada-U.S. softwood lumber agreement, expected to expire on Oct. 12, 2015, McAlpine explained that there is a provision in the softwood lumber agreement by which both parties - Canada and United States - agree to a standstill period after the expiration date. This provision means no action can be taken by either country in the way of trade sanctions for 12 months.

“We’re hopeful that over the next year we can reach an agreement with the U.S. on a trade relationship that’s acceptable to both countries,” said McAlpine.

Single-vehicle accident leaves one dead, one injuredAccident closed Hwy. 16 near Fort Fraser for several hours

Flavio NieNow

A single-vehicle ac-cident on Hwy. 16 near Fort Fraser left one per-son dead and another seriously injured.

The accident took place on Saturday Oct. 3, 2015, at approxi-mately 2:30 a.m. Hwy. 16 was closed in both directions until Satur-day afternoon.

Sergeant Al Stein-hauser with north dis-trict traffic services told 250 News that two people were in a car that left the highway at Telegraph Road within the Fort Fraser town-ship and slammed into a power pole. The driver was transported to the hospital in Vanderhoof with serious injuries.

According to 250 News, both occupants of the car are northern residents. Speed and alcohol are suspected to be contributing factors.

Wet’suwet’en to explore clean energy opportunitiesProvincial funding will help Wet’suwet’en develop a planFLAVIO NIENOW

The provincial government is providing $30,000 to Wet'suwet'en First Nation (WFN) to support the community's examination of clean energy opportunities within its traditional territory.

The examination will help determine how clean energy projects can provide a source of revenue and create employment opportunities for WFN. In addition, the plan will study the community's energy use and total greenhouse gas emissions and provide options to reduce community energy use.

Chief Karen Ogen said clean energy initiatives align with WFN’s goal of preserving and maintaining the environment.

“Wet’suwet’en First Nation is committed to ensuring we balance our environmental concerns with any future energy projects we might pursue in our traditional territory,” she said. “This funding will help us explore some of the clean energy options that might be available."

The funding provided to WFN is part of B.C.’ First Nations clean energy business fund. Since 2011, more than 100 Aboriginal communities have benefited from $6.9 million through this funding.

John Rustad, MLA for Nechako Lakes, said this funding helps First Nations communities explore a variety of potential benefits, including reduced power consumption, job creation, and new revenue sources from clean energy development.

According to the provincial government, the clean energy technology industry is one of the fastest-growing industries in B.C., with more than 200 organizations, 68 per cent of which were formed in the past decade.

There was a full house at Lakes District Secondary School (LDSS)on Sunday evening to watch the Lakes District Arts Council’s (LDAC) first performance of the season, musical performance group Quartetto Gelato. The entertaining and talented group had the audience laughing and clapping along to everything from Gypsy, Celtic, French, to Italian style music, and at one point oboist, (and former Cirque De Soleil performer) even performed some acrobatics for a surprised audience. John Barth from LDAC was excited about the group before they came to town as recent performances in both Smithers and Kitimat received rave reviews. The next performance will take place Nov. 7 at LDSS; with East Coast fiddling/Bluegrass group Gordie Mackeeman and His Rhythm Boys.

Province announces second round of funding

Funding will support infrastructure upgrades in B.C. municipalities

Flavio NieNow

The provincial government has recently announced the second round of the ‘small communities fund,’ a grant that supports local infrastruc-ture expansion projects and upgrades in B.C. municipalities.

The small communities fund helps local governments with popula-tions under 100,000 by providing up to two-thirds of the total eligible costs of building local public infrastructure.

Sheryl Worthing, Chief Administrative Officer for the Village of Burns Lake, confirmed that the village will be applying for the second round of this grant. However, it is still undetermined which infrastruc-ture project will be chosen to receive upgrades.

According to Worthing, council will likely apply for this grant to re-place the village’s water tower, but this decision will only be made as the village gets “farther into the budgeting process.”

“We have an extensive capital asset management plan that will help guide council's decisions,” said Worthing.

Eligible project areas include, but are not limited to drinking water, solid waste management, green energy, highways and major roads, pub-lic transit, connectivity and broadband.

The fund will open for intake on Oct. 30, 2015, closing on April 30, 2016. Applications will be reviewed and as-sessed by the fall of 2016 with approvals anticipated in the winter of 2016-17.

Premier Christy Clark announced the sec-ond round of the small communities fund during the 2015 Union of British Columbia Municipalities convention held in Vancou-ver last month.

"The foundation of all successful, vibrant communities is the same - modern, efficient infrastructure,” said Clark. “This new round of investment will help give smaller com-munities the tools they need to attract new jobs and investment, both today and in the future."

The small communities fund's second round will invest $90 million - $45 million each from the B.C. and federal govern-ments - plus contributions from approved applicants. The fund's first round resulted in $128 million - $64 million each from the B.C. and federal governments - to sup-port 55 projects with estimated total project costs of $223 million.

The provincial government’s total invest-ment in both rounds of the small communi-ties fund is $109 million.

Supporting innovative ideas

in rural areas

New provincial funding will help communities diversify their economies

Flavio NieNow

The provincial government has announced a new fund-ing to help rural communities diversify their economies and support “innovative and ambitious” ideas and solu-tions.

The announcement of the up to $75-million rural divi-dend was made during the 2015 Union of British Columbia Municipalities convention held in Vancouver last month.

"As the global resource economy is in transition, some of the communities that contribute the most to B.C. are feeling the pinch,” said Premier Christy Clark.

According to the provincial government, rural commu-nities struggling to reinvigorate and diversify their local economies will be supported in building and implementing their own solutions, based on their community's values and needs.

"This funding will provide an added boost to those com-munities who want to diversify their economy beyond for-estry," said Steve Thomson, Minister of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations.

The provincial government says the rural dividend will be focussed on the following priorities:

- Building community capacity and quality of life;- Expanding learning and skill development opportuni-

ties;- Providing opportunities for rural youth to stay and re-

turn to rural communities;- Encouraging collaboration and partnerships between

rural British Columbians and First Nations.Sheryl Worthing, Chief Administrative Officer for the

Village of Burns Lake, confirmed the village will apply for this funding.

“We will wait for the program details to be finalized in March 2016 then make the application based on eligible projects,” said Worthing.

The $25-million per-year pilot program will run from 2016-17 to 2018-19. Communities will need to clearly ar-ticulate what the funds will be used for and demonstrate the need to be filled.

The recently announced rural dividend follows the rec-ommendations from the rural advisory council. Formed in March 2015, the rural advisory council was set up to help identify opportunities for communities to diversify their economies.

Burns Lake area First Nations to conduct labour market and training study

Study will look at long-term employment opportunities

Flavio NieNow

The provincial government is providing $165,000 to local First Nations communities to conduct a la-bour market study.

The ‘we are moving forward’ project (Nis Ts'edilh) will create a three-year strategy that will research and identify labour market and training gaps, as well as opportunities in the Burns Lake region related to liquefied natural gas and other resource development.

The project, scheduled to be completed by mid-April 2016, is a co-operation between the Wet'suwet'en First Nation, Burns Lake Band, Nee Tahi Buhn Band and Skin Tyee First Nation.

John Rustad, Minister of Aboriginal Relations and Reconciliation, said this research project will help people in the communities identify the skills they need to find good jobs.

“Meaningful employment is vitally important to improve the health, cultural and social well-being of Aboriginal communities throughout B.C.," he said.

Shannon Haizimsque, Chief Operating Officer of the Yinka Dene Economic Development, said First Nations play an important role in the region’s economic development.

“We know that various developmental projects are expanding at a rapid pace and we as First Nations play an important role in solving environmental and social challenges in our region and beyond,” she said.

“Currently we know little about the full scope of the labour market in our region,” she added. “This research project will provide the crucial information we need to inform strategies to stoke our continual growth and the benefits it brings to our communities."

The Burns Lake and District Chamber of Commerce announces the opening of nominations for the annual Business Excellence Awards (BEA). Chair Kelly Holliday stated that, "the Business Excellence Committee made a recommendation to the Board of Direc-tors to amalgamate the 2014 & 2015 awards celebration into one year to get back on a regular schedule. This will allow our Chamber to set a regular event celebration date and this contributes to a highly-organized and fun event for our business community." Accord-ing to President Greg Brown, "the Board completely supports the committee's recommendation. Hosting the awards ceremony in the fall makes great sense and allows us to nominate and award in the same year - just as many of our peer Chambers do."

Voting this year will take place with paper nominations and ballots. According to Chair Holliday, "we hope to move to a hybrid model next year where we begin to minimize paper ballots in favour of an online system. Given a few hiccups we had last year, we want to revert to a paper-based system for this year."

This year, the committee acknowledged that not all businesses who are nominated will be available to attend the BEA celebra-tion and it would be appropriate to acknowledge their nomination. To that end, the Chamber is pleased to announce that a Nominee Reception will be held on Oct. 19, 2015 at 6:30 p.m. upstairs at the Burns Lake Curling Club. Light refreshments will be served and the Burns Lake Curling Club will have a no-host bar. President Greg Brown added, "this is a great opportunity to celebrate each and every business that has been nominated by their customers and peers."

Key Dates: Oct. 1, 2015 - Nominations open, Oct. 14, 2015 - Nominations close, Oct. 19, 2015 - Nominee Reception - Burns Lake Curling Club, 6:30 p.m., Oct. 20, 2015 - Voting opens, Oct. 30, 2-15 - Voting closes, Nov. 6, 2015 - Business Excellence Awards din-ner and dance.

CheckboxesI’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.
