Burns Lake rallies in Prince George at CNC

Mayor Luke Strimbold (R) from the Village of Burns Lake and Monty Palmantier from Lake Babine Nation both should their support to the College of New Caledonia, Lakes campus in Prince George last Friday. Both had strong concerns about the recent announcements of employee and program cutbacks. More on page 3.LAURA BLACKWELL

On entourage of approximately 15 people headed to Prince George last Friday to voice their concerns at the College of New Caledonia (CNC) public forum. The forum gave community mem-bers a chance to voice their opinions about the pro-posed changes. The forum was held on March 27.

First speaker for the Burns Lake group was Lynn Synotte, Project Planner and a 25 year employee at the Lakes campus.

Synotte stated to the board of directors “The Lakes campus has never run a deficit and during most of my years, the campus has even returned money to offset the infrastructure. The Lakes cam-pus base budget is 45 per cent and our cost recov-ery programs are 55 per cent of our total operating budget.”

She continued to say, “CNC Lakes has always

supported non-traditional students to fit within a traditional college system ad these students find success. Our family programs, our academic and personal counsellors and staff have responded to the ups and the downs in our community.”

She closed by saying, “We realize the college is in a deficit situation and their needs to be ad-dressed but standardization is not the answer. Each community within the college region is different. Board members who are from a small community will recognize the impact they will have on our college, you are cutting programs in Prince George but you are cutting out the heart of Burns Lake.

Mayor Luke Strimbold took time to attend the public forum to stress to the board the importance of the local CNC.

He said, “Our college has influenced our com-munity for decades and it has the ability to have a positive impact on the future of the Lakes Dis-

trict. On behalf of the community, our concerns are what decisions are being made and how they are being made. I know from personal experience that our local college has worked and continu-ously works extremely hard to build trust amongst students, First Nations, business leaders, and the community as a whole. But today I see that trust quickly diminishing because decisions are not be-ing made close to home and a new education phi-losophy is being implemented without the com-munity’s input.”

He went on to say, “Standardization and central-ization - these are words going around in our com-munity. Not one of our communities are the exact same as one another and the students have a wide range of diversity. I understand that the College of New Caledonia is facing some tough times. But the solutions that are most successful are those

During a regular meeting of the Regional District of Bulkley-Nechako on March 26, 2015, the board of directors carried a motion to make some changes in its budgeting process.

One of these changes includes the creation of a finance committee that would provide guidance to the board of directors during the budgeting process. The committee would have the purpose of helping the board of directors understand how their decisions affect the budget and the overall tax rates.

According to the 2015 budget – which received final approval on March 26, 2015 - taxation on region-wide services increased by 15.5 per cent, and taxa-tion on regional rural services increased by 22.4 per cent.

Some directors have pointed out that the increase in taxation came as a sur-prise to them, and realized the need to have a different approach to the budget-ing process to avoid unexpected surprises.

"We had people in our last meeting [March 12, 2015] that even after some-thing passed our agenda three times, they were still surprised to see it,” said Mark Fisher, Director of Electoral Area A.

“There are obviously some improvements that we need to make in our bud-geting process, said Taylor Bachrach,” Smithers Mayor. “We don't have an angle on this thing [the budget]; we need to make sure that we're following the ball and that we're making conscientious decisions along the way.”

Although the budget is discussed in different meetings, the RDBN does not hold meetings specifically to discuss the budget. The board of directors agreed that there should be separate meetings to discuss the budget.

Fisher said that the more the board discusses the budget, the better it will be for constituents.

“If we have to through things twice, so be it,” he said. “Maybe we should go through it [the budget] even more.”

Details of the new budgeting process are still not defined. The board of di-rectors asked RDBN staff to create a report outlining "the new and improved budgeting process" for the next RDBN meeting.

...see CROSS WALK t P5

Community members have raised concerns

How safe are the cross walks?Flavio NieNow

According to Burns Lake council, community mem-bers have expressed some concerns over the lack of visibility of some of the crosswalks along Hwy. 16.

One of these crosswalks is located in front of the Burns Lake Eye Care.

"I completely forgot that crosswalk even existed," said coun. Chris Beach. "A lot of people don't even know it's there."

Councillor Kelly Holli-day said that many people drive faster than they should before reaching that cross-walk (driving from east to west), when the maximum speed allowed is 20 km/h.

The other crosswalk councillors were concern about is located near the Royal Bank of Canada.

In early January of 2015, council directed village staff to bring back a re-port regarding the safety of

crosswalks in Burns Lake.According to the staff re-

port, the Ministry of Trans-portation and Infrastructure (MOTI) is satisfied with the current design of the cross-ings in Burns Lake, as they were designed, inspected and signed off by their en-gineers who specialize in this field.

After the project was complete, representatives from the contractor, MOTI and the Director of Public Works did a walk through to confirm the product was finished to design stan-dards.

"I understand that this project was approved and signed off, but I think it might be worthwhile to have a discussion again," said coun. Susan Schein-bein.

"I appreciate that the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure has ap-proved these projects, but

that consist of an inclusive approach. The new approach where decisions are being made by senior executive out of Prince George and no longer being made in our community is simply not acceptable. We want to be part of the solu-tion. We want to know that decisions are being made locally and that we are able to walk into the college and speak to a decision maker.

And you as a board and your senior executive are pushing a different philosophy. I believe the people of Burns Lake will support me when I say that we want to work with you to define what education looks like in our community.”

Strimbold closed by putting a question to the board, “One of the questions I have is whether you as a board and senior executives are interested in changing your approach and conducting meaning-ful consultation and working with us to develop a unified vision for education in the Lakes District?”

Monty Palmantier, Education Director for Lake Babine Nation (LBN) also spoke to the board on behalf of his Nation and the commu-nity. “Today I am here wearing my hat and speaking on be-half of Lake Babine Nation to express my concerns about the impacts that CNC Lakes, and particularly the First Nations communities are facing in light of decisions being made by the senior administration and the board of governors of CNC.”

“While I cannot presume to speak for the other five First Na-tions in the Lakes District, you can be assured that their expe-riences and concerns care similar to those held by LBN. Our partnerships with CNC Lakes has been brought to regional, provincial, national and international arenas where we have put CNC Lakes on the map in terms of what makes for effective and reflective programming that has resulted in successes for students. With the cuts that have been identified and in some in-stances acted upon already, everything that we have worked to-wards that has made for successful programming at CNC Lakes is in jeopardy and puts us back to where we were 20 years ago.”

Palmantier closed by saying, “ I do not have all the answers; however, in the spirit of true partnership, what we need to do is collectively roll up our sleeves and come up with solutions together. In all honesty. Providing multiple stakeholders from the Lakes District only 20 minutes to petition the board of governors, as we are doing today, in my mind is only the be-ginning of the work that we have in front of us. Meaningful engagement and authentic partnerships, such as has been our experience at CNC Lakes is what is needed.”

Other local speakers showing support at the public forum was acting chamber manger Susan Schienbein and Priscilla Crouse Aboriginal Liaison for CNC.

On April 24, 2015, the CNC board of directors will vote to approve the budget and the proposed changes. Henry Reiser, CNC President said that depending on the outcome of the vot-ing, some of the layoffs may be rescinded based on what pro-grams are being suspended.

Lynn Synotte, Priscilla Crouse and Susan Schienbein were among the 15 local residents showed up at the public forum to voice their opinions about the proposed changes at CNC Lakes.

Why did the B.C. gov-ernment suddenly slam the door on their old friend George Abbott, after spending months recruiting him to head up the B.C. Treaty Commis-sion?

The instant media nar-rative, embraced by a shocked Abbott and then by NDP leader John Hor-gan, was that this was payback for grievances

nursed by Premier Christy Clark from the 2011 B.C. Liberal leadership contest.

Done on a whim, Horgan said after a week grill-ing Clark and Aboriginal Relations Minister John Rustad. Clark is suddenly a sore winner, lashing out, wrecking two decades of careful and costly treaty-making.

Like many instant media narratives, this one makes no sense and is almost certainly wrong. If Clark was resentful about the roasting she received from leadership rivals Abbott and Kevin Falcon, she had an odd way of showing it. She appointed Falcon as finance minister to drive a stake into the harmonized sales tax, and Abbott as education minister to fashion a pre-election truce with the ever-hostile teachers’ union. Both completed their unlikely tasks and retired as heroes of the party in 2013.

Outgoing chief treaty commissioner Sophie Pierre was as dismayed as anyone at the news of Abbott’s demise. While the two were in transition meetings, Pierre learned that she was not being replaced, leaving the federal-provincial-First Nations Summit partnership of 22 years in a shambles.

Clark went further when questioned by reporters about the sudden reversal. The future of aboriginal relations in B.C. may or may not include the B.C. Treaty Commission.

“There have been some results, but four treaties in 22 years for $600 million is not enough result,” Clark said. “We have to be able to move faster, and we have to find a way to include more First Nations in the process.”

That $600 million is mostly loans, from the federal government to First Nations to finance treaty talks. Of every $100 spent trying to honour the century-old duty to sign treaties across B.C., $80 is a loan from Ottawa, $12 is a grant from Ottawa and $8 is a grant from B.C.

The plan was for First Nations to repay their loans out of cash settlements made to them for 100-odd years of uncompensated resource extraction, which is now accepted as being contrary to British and Canadian law.

It was the blunt-spoken Pierre who first acknowledged this hasn’t worked. Some of the 50 First Nations stuck at the treaty table have borrowed too much to go on, she said last year, calling for an “exit strategy” that forgives debt.

The probability of the B.C. government making this decision without talking to the federal paymaster is exactly zero. I’m told the province’s clumsy timing had something to do with Ot-tawa’s late demands.

I asked Clark if her plan to settle land claims faster was anything like the 2009 attempt by Gordon Campbell’s deputy minister Jessica McDonald to negotiate a province-wide deal declar-ing aboriginal title. Clark sidestepped the question, saying only that the 150 B.C. First Nations not at the treaty table need a say and a solution too.

(McDonald now faces a similar legal gridlock as the Clark-appointed CEO of BC Hydro, try-ing to build the Site C dam.)

Pierre, a veteran administrator from the Ktunaxa Tribal Council in the Kootenays, made a prophetic statement when her term as chief commissioner was extended three years ago. She said if Ottawa isn’t prepared to give federal negotiators a realistic mandate on compensation and sharing of salmon rights, they should “shut ’er down. ”Her advice may have been heard after all.

t Editorial

tom flEtchEr

As you may have heard, I am returning to Brazil for a few months. And no, it is not because I was fed up with the winter in Burns Lake. In fact, I thought the winter in Burns Lake was not bad at all compared to some other parts of the country.

What’s happening is that I have to leave the country for a few months

while I wait for a decision on my Canadian perma-nent residency application. So hopefully the kind government of Canada (I have to say nice things in case they are monitoring my behaviour) will ap-prove my application and I will be able to return to Burns Lake as soon as possible.

In the meantime, I will continue to freelance for Lakes District News. So don’t be confused if you receive a call from me in the near future. I must say that when I moved to Burns Lake I had zero expectations.

I moved because of the job, and I had no clue about what to expect. I had no friends who lived in Northern B.C., and it was really hard to imagine how living there would be like.

What happened during my stay there was that I kept being positively surprised. First I was surprised by how beautiful the area was. I was amazed at how almost every

house had a lake view (it’s like being at a theatre, where everybody can see the stage).Then I was impressed by the many options of outdoor activities (although I was too afraid

of bears and the freezing temperatures to be more adventurous). However, I did sense that there is a distinctive quality to being up north and living so close

to nature. We have something truly special in Northern B.C. that city folks miss and don’t even realize it. I think you have to live up there [Northern B.C.] to understand it.

I was also positively surprised by our village council. I was impressed by how transparent and responsible they are when dealing with the public and the media. I think this town is very lucky for having a diverse and forward-thinking council; a young, intelligent and charismatic mayor; and a highly efficient village staff. It was always invigorating for me to follow up on council affairs.

But the best thing about Burns Lake is definitely the people. People in Burns Lake are friendly, but they also know when to respect your privacy. People are certainly not shy and know how to party (and there is an unspoken agreement on not sharing embarrassing photos of each other on Facebook).

What I also found interesting was that a lot of people in this town came from somewhere else. I met people from all walks of life and was able to learn so much from them. I also heard many stories of people who moved to Burns Lake temporarily, but eventually discovered that this was their home.

And the most rewarding part about the time I spent in Burns Lake was feeling that I arrived at an interesting time for the town. I sense that this town has had some hardships in the past, but that a new energy is emerging.

I think that with a forward-thinking council, a brand new hospital and recreation facility, as well as a new marketing strategy for the town, Burns Lake has a tremendous potential for growth. Once we build our confidence and are able to market our unique features, I have no doubt we will attract continuous businesses and residents.

This is an important time for this town, and it brought me great excitement to be a part of it! It was rewarding to think that I was part of this change.

And so are you.Thank you for your warm hearts and for making me feel so welcomed.

Bye for now Burns Lake

Work to deconstruct the old Lakes District Hos-pital in Burns Lake has already begun, but the ac-tual demolition of the building is expected to take place in early May, 2015.

“The old Lakes District Hospital served the com-munity very well for over 50 years and definitely leaves behind a great legacy in the Lakes District,” said John Rustad, MLA for Nechako Lakes.

Most of the work to take down the old hospital will include excavators that will safely break down the structure, and then clear the debris.

The process of hazardous material remediation, decommissioning of equipment not transferred to the new facility, and disposal of other items inside the hospital has already occurred.

The old Lakes District Hospital was built in 1960. Over the last 10 years the old hospital has had over 47,000 inpatients and 103,268 visits. In the last decade, there have been over 48,000 x-rays and over one million lab tests.

“There are a lot of memories for the staff and physicians that worked in the old facility and it will definitely be remembered fondly,” said Marie Hunter, Northern Health Lakes District Health Ser-vice Administrator.

The space previously occupied by the old facility will be used for parking for the new Lakes District Hospital and Health Centre. It is expected that the new parking lot and landscaping work will be completed by fall of 2015.

they are not here on a daily ba-sis," added Beach.

Rick Martin, Director of Pub-lic Works, recently contacted MOTI to find out what would be the cost of adding lights to the crossing, as this had been one of the council suggestions to in-

crease safety."Installing control lighting

at a pedestrian crossing on a major arterial like Hwy. 16 would require advanced flash-ing lights east and west of the crossing as well as the stop lights controlled by pedestri-ans," read the report. "The cost would likely exceed $150,000,

and since this would severely impact the yearly maintenance for MOTI, it would not be sup-ported."

Burns Lake council passed a motion to invite the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastruc-ture to attend a council meeting to discuss the safety of pedes-trian crossings in Burns Lake.

The historical event of Passover was recent-ly portrayed in the mov-ie, "Gods and Kings." In typical Hollywood fashion, God was turned into a petulant boy seek-

ing revenge, not justice; Moses into an irreverent skeptic; and the mira-cles into natural events.

However, the release of the movie at Pass-over reminds us that God intervened to save his people from oppres-sion, and guide them to freedom.

That first Passover became a rehearsal that Jesus Christ would ful-fill 1600 years later, not just for Israel this time, but for all people in the world.

Just as the blood of the Passover lamb protected the Israel-ites from the judgment of death coming upon Egypt, Jesus died ex-

actly at Passover time, saying, “For God so loved the world, that He gave his only son, that whosoever believes in him, should not per-ish but have everlasting life.” He was buried, and rose again the third day, announcing that He will return to judge the world in righteousness, after the invitation to trust him has encircled the globe.

So while Hollywood never misses an op-portunity to get God wrong, this Easter is our opportunity to get it right. God is not re-vealed as a petulant boy, but in the face of Jesus Christ. Nor is Jesus

about revenge, but righ-teousness. His miracles are recorded by follow-er and foe alike as genu-ine miracles. And he remains today a refuge for the oppressed; the ransom for all who seek forgiveness for their sins; and the redeemer for all who want a world governed in righteous-ness.

But there is one more Exodus to come. The story is not over. Jesus is about to bring an-other deliverance that will make Exodus pale in comparison. In the meantime, God invites all people to find eternal safety under the blood of Christ.

CitizeNs of the yearThe Citizen of the Year award is given annually to recognize those who generously volunteer in our Lakes District communities. This year, the coffee souse on Saturday, March 28, at the Francois Lake Hall was the perfect setting to present the 2014 Citizen of the Year award. The full house gave a standing ovation when a very surprised Gordon and Joan McFee were called to receive the Citizens of the Year. There is no doubt that Gordon and Joan are worthy recipients as they have volunteered for many years in many organizations from minor hockey to the Festival of Performing Arts, and from Band Parents Association to the fall fair. Gordon and Joan have provided leadership and motivation by fund raising, grant writing and by the wielding of paintbrushes. Congratulations. Also thank you top Gunter Hoehne for this great photo.

The District of Houston (DOH) wants more information from the Competition Bureau on the recent ruling about the Canfor and West Fraser timber swap.

The DOH sent a Freedom of Information Request to the province in early-March.

Canfor traded West Fraser their timber rights in Quesnel for West Fraser’s timber in Houston. Announced October 2013, the deal included shutting down Houston Forest Products (HFP) and a Canfor sawmill in Quesnel.

The Federal Competition Bureau and the province reviewed the trade of timber licences to see if it restricted the competitive market. The B.C. Minister of Forests can cancel forest licences if something unduly restricts the competition in the market for timber, logs or chips.

The Competition Bureau ruled March 3 that the timber ex-change did not unduly restrict competition.

The Federal Bureau refused to comment on the ruling. Ministry of Forests Public Affairs Officer Greig Bethel said

the provincial assessment found that “while the mill closures did reduce the number of processors, the tenure exchange itself did not in an of itself unduly restrict competition.”

He said “the regions declining timber supply will lead to fibre supply challenges so the tenure exchange (in addition to the mill closures) will provide for a more efficient supply of timber ...for mills that remain open.”

Houston mayor Shane Brienen said the Minister of Forests called him March 3 about the Competition Bureau ruling.

Brienen says the province feels there are enough companies operating in this area: West Fraser operates Pacific Inland Resources in Smithers and Hampton Affiliates runs Babine Forest Products in Burns Lake.

“They don’t feel [Canfor] has the whole market to themselves,” he said.

“Three is the magic number in competition,” added coun. Jonathan Van Barnevald.

Van Barneveld says he is not surprised by the ruling. “From the get-go, people knew that nothing was going to

change that deal,” he said. Mayor Brienen agreed. “We felt all along that they would allow it. I don’t know

if it is the best thing for Houston, or if it is the best for the Province because at the end of the day, if you don’t have strong competition out there, then you’re not getting the best dollar and stumpage could go down.”

Brienen said he thinks “what was going on in Quesnel really moved that deal ahead.”

Looking at the timber supply review and coming harvest cutbacks, “you can see we have five years or so left before we were running into major trouble,” Brienen said.

“It was coming eventually, and we were going to have trouble with our fibre supply, but it came a little sooner just because of the way things were going in Quesnel and how the puzzle fit together for those two companies.”

Van Barneveld agreed. “You can see how the deal in

Quesnel probably needed to happen. And Houston Forest Products was basically the victim of that deal.”

Van Barneveld says Houston people seem skeptical of the

TAX TIPS & TRAPS

Filing Tax Returnswhen you have a spouseSpousal tax returns are always � led separately - that is, the tax returns are prepared separately. However, when tax returns are prepared using personal income tax return software, most software will give the option of “coupling” the preparation of both returns. The returns are still printed and � led separately, but the software will usually highlight ways in which taxes may be reduced, and will automatically apply the spousal amount tax credit if eligible.You are required to report what your marital status was as of December 31st of the tax year. You are married or living common-law as long as you and your spouse are not living separate and apart from each other on December 31st because of a breakdown of the marriage or common-law relationship. If you are living apart from each other due to some other reason, including your spouse living in another country, you would still be considered married or living common-law.You must report the name, social insurance number and net income (or the amount the net income would be if he/she � led a return) of your spouse or common-law partner on page 1 of your tax return. The spouse net income a� ects some tax credits, including the spousal amount tax credit.The combined income of you and your spouse or common-law partner is used to calculate: • GST/HST credit• Canada child tax bene� t (CCTB)• Guaranteed Income Supplement (GIS)• working income tax bene� t• refundable medical expense supplement provincial low income tax reductions and some tax credits - see the information for your province• BC Medical Services Plan (MSP) premiums

The United Steelworkers (USW) has announced that it is withdrawing from the coroner’s inquest into the explosion at Lakeland Mills in Prince George.

United Steelworkers district three director Stephen Hunt says the union has lost confidence that the inquest will answer the many outstanding questions that remain.

On April 14, 2014, chief coroner Lisa Lapointe released a statement promising that the inquest would provide the families of workers who died, as well as injured workers and the entire commu-nity, with a thorough review of the causes and con-tributing factors of the explosion, including: how and why the explosion happened; the roles and re-sponsibilities of those involved in mill safety and their policies and practices; and what steps can and should be taken to prevent this type of event from happening again.

“Over the past week, the inquest has heard how WorkSafeBC’s failure to carry out its mandate to ensure the health and safety of workers resulted in a complete mishandling of sawmill safety both before and after the explosion. Despite this tragic failure to do its job, the agency is not being held accountable,” Hunt says.

A USW press release stated that as a result of relying upon WorkSafeBC’s flawed investigation, the RCMP and B.C. Safety Authority also pro-duced failed investigations.

“It is now clear that the inquest is not going to adequately answer any of the questions that de-mand to be answered. The employer’s withholding of crucial evidence would have made a difference as to how the USW conducted its case and we will not participate in an exercise that does such a dis-service to the families who lost loved ones and to the larger community,” says Hunt.

The USW continues to join family members, First Nations and the larger community in calling for a public inquiry.

Proceedings into an explosion at the Babine For-est Products mill in Burns Lake will get underway on July 13, 2015.

ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIPA SPECIAL SERIES ON LIQUEFIED NATURAL GAS

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

The environmental assessment (EA) process is a way for the provincial and federal governments to review major projects and assess their potential effects. It helps to ensure that the projects meet the goals of environmental, economic and social sustainability. It also ensures that the views of the public, First Nations, stakeholders and government agencies are considered.

Environment Minister Mary Polak and Energy and Mines Minister Bill Bennett have issued an environmental assessment certificate to Pretium Re-sources Inc. for the Brucejack gold mine, located approximately 65 kilometres northwest of Stewart.

The decision was made after considering a review led by British Columbia's Environmental Assessment Office, which was conducted in a manner that is reflective of the treaty relationship between British Columbia and the Nisga'a Lisims Government.

The Brucejack project is an underground gold and silver mine, with an esti-mated capital cost of $450 million, that would create 500 jobs during the two-year construction period and 300 jobs during a minimum 16-year operating life. It would produce up to 2,700 tonnes of ore per day.

The Brucejack mine will not have a tailings management facility with a dam. Tailings will be stored underground in spent mine workings and in Brucejack Lake. This reflects best-available technology as recommended by the indepen-dent panel that investigated the Mount Polley failure. In its report, the panel noted that the most direct way to eliminate tailings dam failures is to store the majority of tailings below ground.

The ministers issued the certificate with 15 legally enforceable conditions that have given them the confidence to conclude that the project will be con-structed, operated and decommissioned in a way that ensures no significant adverse effects are likely to occur.

Additional information is required to determine the significance of effects on water quality and the effectiveness of the proposed water treatment plants. To avoid significant adverse effects to the Unuk River and the environment at the mine site, certificate conditions require Pretium Resources to provide the necessary additional information prior to construction.

The project will move forward to construction only when, and if, regulators are satisfied that discharges will comply with provincial requirements and therefore will not cause significant adverse effects downstream from the mine and to the Unuk River.

The certificate conditions were developed following consultation and input from Aboriginal groups, government agencies, including the State of Alaska, communities and the public.

The project will require various federal, provincial and local government permits to proceed. The Environmental Assessment Office will co-ordinate compliance management efforts with other government agencies to ensure that the office is satisfied that certificate conditions are met.

Brucejack Gold Mine located near Stewart granted environmental assessment approval

The 55 plus seniors bonspiel took place at the Burns Lake Curling Club from March 26-27. There were eight teams in total, two from Fraser Lake and two from Houston and four local teams. The winner of the A event was the Bill Sullivan rink, second in the A event was Gerald Eckland rink, winner of the B event was Scottie Fields rink, second in B winner was Arnold Amonson. Winner of the C event was Wayne Larsen rink , second in the C event was John Thiessen rink. A dinner banquet was held for everyone on Thursday night. This funspiel was sponsored by the age friendly grant through the Village of Burns Lake multi plex and Zone 11 Seniors grant.

TOM FLETCHER

Drivers must vacate the left lane when a vehicle comes up behind them, unless they are passing an-other vehicle, avoiding debris on the road, allowing traffic to merge from the right, preparing to turn left or passing an official vehicle stopped on the highway.

That will be the rule any time when the speed limit is 80 km/h or higher and traffic is moving at more than 50 km/h, under changes coming to the Motor Vehicle Act.

Hogging the left lane and holding up traffic is already a ticket offence, but one that police found difficult to enforce due to the wording of the leg-islation, said Transportation Minister Todd Stone. The fine continues to be $109 for unnecessary use of the left lane.

Stone said slow drivers in the left lane are a big frustration, prompting drivers to pass on the right, which is also illegal. The changes are not intended to encourage people to exceed the speed limit in the left lane, he said.

Amendments tabled in the B.C. legislature Mon-day also aim to clarify the province's roadside driv-ing prohibition law, after court challenges. That law gives police powers to impound vehicles and suspend driving privileges for up to 90 days after a driver blows a "warn" or "fail" level of blood alco-hol on a roadside screening device.

The "immediate roadside prohibition" program took effect in 2010, effectively replacing most im-paired driving charges with administrative penal-ties, including a three-day driving ban and a $200 administrative fee for those who register between 0.05 and 0.08, if the police officer has reason to believe the driver is impaired.

Rules clarified for driving lane

New highway signs are being installed to remind drivers to keep passing lanes clear.

In its current form, the B.C. Treaty Commission would need a century to settle all the aboriginal land claims that are before it, Premier Christy Clark said Wednesday.

Taking questions for the first time about the sudden cancella-tion of former cabinet minister George Abbott's appointment to lead the commission, Clark said she doesn't know yet if the orga-nization will continue. She emphasized that having only 50 out of 200 B.C. First Nations involved, and painfully slow progress with those, is not enough.

"There have been some results, but four treaties in 22 years for $600 million is not enough result," Clark said. "We have to be able to move faster, and we have to find a way to include more First Nations in the process."

Word of Abbott's rejection came out late last week, with sur-prise and disappointment from outgoing chief commissioner So-phie Pierre and commissioners representing the other two parties it represents, the federal government and B.C.'s First Nations

Summit.NDP leader John Horgan said the B.C. government's sudden

decision to leave a key position vacant is a violation of trust with aboriginal communities and Ottawa, which provides the cash for treaty settlements. B.C. provides Crown land once claimed ter-ritories are defined.

"I don't disagree with those who suggest the treaty process can be revitalized," Horgan said. "You don't do it by blowing it up without talking to your partners."

Pierre and others have expressed their own frustrations with the slow pace of progress, particularly from Ottawa. Treaty deals involving a share of salmon runs were put on hold for years while the federal government held an inquiry into the state of Fraser River sockeye runs.

Pierre has also called for forgiveness of the debt piled up by First Nations as negotiations drag on. Money to continue talks is borrowed against future cash settlements for resources extracted from aboriginal territories, leaving the parties with little left to invest in communities.

B.C. Treaty Commission’s future in doubt

FOI from t P7

Competition Bureau process. “It’s so secretive and not very transparent. You don’t know

what’s being analyzed and what’s not,” he said. It’s hard not to feel jilted.”

Looking ahead, VanBarneveld says it is the end of previous lobbying for some of West Fraser’s timber rights to go to

community forests. “The ruling basically puts the nail in the coffin a little bit for

any further advocacy for smaller operators,” he said. Asked how he views the timber market, Van Barneveld said

he can’t say. “In generalities, one less operator is less competition,” he

said. “It’s one less person competing for wood.”

Children let their inner artist shine through while painting the ice at the Tom Forsyth Arena on March 23, 2015. While some kids painted flowers and rainbows, others simply slashed paint without much planning. Either way, they all had a great time on ice for the last time this season.

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20: Patience is a virtue you must have this week, Aries. Others may not be able to maintain your pace, so exercise patience with those who need it.

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21: Share your thoughts and feelings about a particular proj-ect wtth others, Taurus. The people closest to you will provide just the support you need to move forward.GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21: Em-brace the competitive nature of a coworker this week, Gemini. This person might just motivate you to reach heights you have yet to reach, and this may lead to a promotion at work.

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22: Cancer, a heart-to-heart talk with a loved one has you feeling confident as you move forward. Embrace this chance to communicate for the opportunity it truly is.

LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23: Leo, allow someone close to you to enjoy his or her space this week. Find a way to keep busy as this special someone does some soul-searching.

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22: Avoid rushing to judgment on an issue this week, Virgo. Rath-er than speculating on the “whys” and “how comes,” wait until you can get some solid facts.

LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23: Luck is on your side this week, Libra. Make the most of this lucky streak and invite others to join in your fortune in the weeks to come.

SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22: Scorpio, lend a helping hand to a loved one who could use some words of encouragement. Your efforts will be both effective and very much appreciated.

SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21: Sagittarius, anxiety about starting a new chapter in life is normal. Fear of the unknown can worry anyone, but look forward to all of the positive changes that are in store.

CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20: Capricorn, thinking outside of the box comes easily to you. Although others may scoff at your unconven-tional ways, you always get the job done and this week is no different.

AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18: Aquarius, peer pressure abounds this week, but you needn’t worry about succumbing to it. You like to march to the beat of your own drum, and others look to you as a leader.

PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20: Pisces, you may need to take an unusual approach to get things done this week. Don’t be afraid to be aggressive.

Larger, more affordable SSDs on the horizon

The development of flash based Solid State Drives has resulted in a significant increase in overall computer performance. By eliminating the moving parts of the classic mechanical Hard Drive, SSDs can cut a computers boot time from minutes to seconds, and can even make an older computer noticeably more responsive. However the cost versus the amount of storage has always been an issue. For example a 500 Gigabyte Hard Drive can usually be obtained for $60-$70, while a 500GB SSD currently costs between $275-$430. In an effort to bring costs down and capacities up, Intel and Micron are working together to manufacture new ultra dense 3D NAND flash chips. These chips will boast significantly more capacity than the chips found in SSDs on the market today, and are expected to be aggressively priced. Initial fabrication is already underway and full production is expected before the end of 2015. So with any luck, sometime early next year you may be able to upgrade to an SSD without sacrificing overall storage space, or a considerable portion of your wallet.

Frank Daniel Strimbold December 17, 1939 - March 20, 2015

Friday morning, March 20, 2015, Frank Daniel Strimbold passed away peacefully in the Burns Lake Hospital after a long struggle with cancer. He was 75 years old.Born on December 17,1939 to a pioneering family (since 1906), Frank never lived far from home.

He was a noticeable ture of the opley community, perhaps best known for Angus Cattle, drinking coffee and his ability to talk to anyone. Unassuming, Frank was a farmer, in gumboots, a Mack jacket and his baseball cap always slightly off-side.Of course, Frank was more. A lover of local history, e otic birds and a good joke. He worked in the bush and later drove school bus. He farmed cattle and raised a family of si children with his “school sweetheart” Dianne (Roberts) Strimbold who he married in 1963.Frank was heavily involved in the cattle industry for over 50 years. He spent 20 years as a Director of the BC Angus Association, including chair, and represented BC from 2006-12 with the Canadian Angus Association. He and his family participated in 4-H, winning numerous awards with their Angus stock. He and Dianne served as leaders of the opley 4-H Club and the Bulkley alley 4-H Senior Council.Frank also avidly supported the sport of cross-country skiing he was involved e tensively with the Omineca Ski Club in Burns Lake and served as sport advisor to the BC Winter Games. Frank also spent 12 years as a Director on the Regional District of Bulkley-Nechako (Houston Rural).Since his passing, many have e tended condolences. Most often we’ve heard: “Frank Strimbold was a kind and generous man. He will be dearly missed.” Indeed, Frank leaves behind his wife, Dianne, his si children: anya (husband Monty and grandson aylor) Lia (husband Brent and grandchildren Shea ori) ony (wife Gina and grandchildren Kian & Daria); Monica (husband hil and grandson Leo); odd; Nick (wife ammy). Frank will also be missed by a large e tended family including his sister Linda Bremner (husband Lee) and a legion of friends.Frank’s Celebration of Life will be held April 4th, 2015

at 1 pm at the Topley Community Centre.
