Late Thursday afternoon, West Fra-ser announced the shutdown of its Houston Forest Products mill opera-tion and Canfor Corporation (Canfor) announced the closure of its Quesnel sawmill.

The Houston sawmill closure will affect 225 employees, and will be completed by spring 2014. The closure of the Quesnel mill will be completed in early spring, with 209 employees affected, although Canfor indicated those employees would be offered po-sitions elsewhere in the company.

The decision to close the Hous-ton operation is part of West Fraser’s Mountain Pine Beetle Plan, which in-cludes exchanging forest licenses with Canfor to bolster the viability of other West Fraser operations.

“The mountain pine beetle devasta-tion has and will continue to under-mine the availability of merchantable timber in the interior of B.C.,” said Ted Seraphim, West Fraser president and chief executive officer. “The shutdown of our Houston mill has been a difficult decision and we will work closely with the affected employees to support them through this process.

The Police Victims Service of B.C. (PVS) is the front-line civilian organization that works with lo-cal police forces to provide aid and care to the vic-tims of crime or severe trauma.

The role of PVS often begins at a crime or ac-cident scene, and continues through to following cases as they proceed through the courts, keeping victims informed and up-to-date of court proceed-ings.

Police Victim Services is not a version of legal aid. It doesn’t assist with the cases of those accused of perpetrating a crime. Its mandate is to provide support to the victims of those crimes.

Province-wide, PVS relies on staff and volun-teers to run its 92 service locations in B.C.

In Burns Lake, the victim services unit is staffed by one full-time staffer, Cindy Wiebe, and a tempo-rary assistant. Because of limited resources, PVS in Burns Lake does not participate in police call-outs or in the public education role that PVS plays in larger urban centres.

Wiebe recently made a presentation to Village of Burns Lake (VBL) council in support of expanding funding to the Burns Lake PVS.

Since January 2012 PVS has worked with 233

clients on 275 different files, mostly assisting in court-related processes. Burns Lake PVS has at-tended criminal court every time it is in session in Burns Lake, seven days a month, and attends su-preme court in Smithers with clients.

The Village of Burns Lake currently funds the program with $13,638 annually. The province funds another $42,672, leaving $56,310 annually, which is completely consumed by payroll, benefit, program expense and training costs.

The PVS office is currently open four days per week, six hours each day. Demands on PVS some-times means that Wiebe is forced into an overtime situation. When the demands of PVS extend be-yond budgeted hours, PVS is forced close its doors while staff take time off in lieu of overtime pay.

A one-time funding opportunity allowed Wiebe to hire an assistant co-ordinator, but funding for that position will run out this December.

With a permanent assistant co-ordinator, PVS in Burns Lake could provide more services, like regu-lar visits to the Southside Wellness Centre to serve clients there who lack transportation to Burns Lake.

A large percentage of PVS clients are rural-based, although the Regional District of Bulkley Nechako (RDBN) does not contribute anything to the PVS budget.

In 2012, almost 40 per cent of PVS clients were from either Area E or B. So far in 2013, 44 per cent of clients have been from those areas as well.

With the budget for PVS already constrained, VBL council is concerned that the village tax base is subsidizing services for the region.

Increased demand for internet service in Burns Lake through Telus has saturated the physical network. New customers hoping to set up a high-speed internet connection are being told they will have to wait for ports to open in Burns Lake.

Ports are the physical location where home and business inter-net subscribers tap into the Telus network. Located in junction boxes, there are only so many ports to go around.

“It’s in flux on a daily basis,” said Liz Sauvé, Telus spokesper-son. “If a customer discontinues service then a port may open up, but we have no way of predicting how long a person may have to wait in the meantime.”

Sauvé explained Telus is expediting putting in new junction boxes in Burns Lake to increase the number of ports available. They hope to have expanded service early in the new year or perhaps as soon as late December.

Customers waiting for service cannot be given specific dates as to when a port might become available. It depends on existing customers cancelling a service.

“We greatly appreciate our customers patience as we work to enhance capacity in the area,” Sauvé said.

Other options for internet access are USB ‘internet sticks’ which allow a subscriber to log on through a cellular signal. Many smartphones offer an option to act as a wifi hub for wifi-enabled laptops or desktops, but users should be sure to under-stand their billing rates for data usage before switching on the service.

Omineca Cable also provides inter-net service locally, either as a stand-alone service or bundled with house-hold cable.

Omineca reports no delays in pro-viding service.

Telus recently inked an agreement with the Province of B.C. to be the choice provider of internet and wire-less connectivity. Part of Telus’s agreement with the province was to expand service in rural areas of B.C., including the stretch of highway con-necting Prince George to Prince Ru-pert.

The Regional District of Bulkley Nechako (RDBN) has been tracking locations where poor or non-existent high speed internet and/or cell ser-vice exists throughout the region. Data collected will be sent to Net-work BC, who is working to improve rural internet access and cell service.

With the B.C. and federal governments once again struggling to climb out of deep operating deficits, it’s a good time for the release of Mark Milke’s book Tax Me, I’m Canadian.

An update of the same title published 12 years ago, the book retains the history of taxes in Canada, detailing how Canada’s tax system was initially built to mimic the United States

system in the late 19th century.Beyond the history, it is mostly new material. Included

are chapters on the global meltdown of 2009, the surge of pension liabilities as the baby boomers retire and the flawed logic behind the “Occupy” and “Idle No More” protests.

Some readers will immediately note that Milke works for the Fraser Institute and was previously B.C. director of the Canadian Taxpayers’ Federation. But the book is

not just an argument for cutting taxes. It also dismantles persistent myths that income taxes are illegal, and launches a broadside on what Milke calls “Canada’s corporate welfare carnival.”

Many people will be able to identify some top names in the government subsidy game: Bombardier, General Motors, even poor old Rolls Royce Canada. Some will also be well aware that our supposedly tight-fisted Conservative federal government has continued to pour out “regional development” and other funds to every part of the country.

But I did not know that Industry Canada grants were handed out to pizza parlours (including the remote pizza-starved village of Kamloops), or to help open gas stations or convenience stores in Kelow-na, Vernon and Chilliwack.

Milke makes a useful point for B.C. about royalty rates for timber, natural gas and other resources. They are resource rents, and if they are too high the tenants will move out. Reducing them isn’t a sub-sidy, especially if it leads to big revenue gains as B.C.’s unconventional shale gas incentives have done.

On the Occupy movement: The infamous “one per cent,” who in Canada earn $250,000 a year or more, earned 10 per cent of all income and paid 20 per cent of all taxes in 2010. The bottom 73 per cent of tax filers paid just 17 per cent of all taxes. About a third paid no tax at all.

On Idle No More: When Attawapiskat Chief Teresa Spence played to the Ottawa media with her soup strike, former Liberal leader Bob Rae suggested a nearby diamond mine should share more revenue.

Milke omits the substantial support and employment that mine provides, and glosses over the mis-guided blockades that disrupted that and other job-creating enterprises. But he does detail the disastrous effects of passive resource wealth bestowed on impoverished aboriginal communities, and contrasts it with the success stories of reserves that build their own enterprises through hard work.

On public sector pensions: Milke notes that historically, public employees traded higher wages for better benefits and job security. Now their wages are generally higher, and taxpayers have to cover their personal pension contributions (as a portion of those wages) as well as the employer contributions, plus the “defined benefit” payout, which has to be subsidized far beyond what the pension fund can support.

On the debt-financed welfare state, there are memorable observations, like this one: “For the record, the generous Quebec welfare state and its ostensibly more progressive model are paid for in part with the taxes of other Canadians; Quebec is merely the North American equivalent of Greece.”

The recent B.C. political crisis over adoption of the harmonized sales tax showed that there is too much emotion and too little knowledge about how taxes work. This book is a step towards addressing that.

t Editorial

Most people were caught off guard by the announced closure of mills in Quesnel and Houston last week.

It’s not that we didn’t know there will be an in-evitable mill crisis when the province decides it’s time to reverse its uplifts on annual allowable cuts (AAC) due to the moun-tain pine beetle.

Many of us thought mills would continue to operate at full throttle un-til the fallback to previous timber harvesting levels came into place, and that’s not supposed to happen for another five years or so. At least that’s been the standard line from commentators.

The standard line was wrong. It is clear now that the economics of harvesting

dead pine - and not provincial policy - will drive the future of B.C. mills, irrespective of any future fallback to pre-mountain pine beetle AACs. It was always thus and any of us gullible enough to believe there might still be five or more years of dead pine worth harvesting and mills would hum along until then, had a reality bath last week.

The dead pine is still there, and mills will still process it, but it clearly isn’t worth the trou-ble it previously was. Nobody yet knows how the mill closures will shake out in the logging end of the industry, where most forestry workers are employed. It seems like it should be a zero-sum situation for loggers because Canfor and West Fraser are swapping timber licenses, but it isn’t zero-sum. The industry has permanently contracted.

To put it another way, nothing has changed with anyone’s AAC. It’s just that two fewer mills are required to handle the volume of timber which licensees consider worth harvesting.

Another shake-out that we don’t understand yet relates to silviculture implications.If it’s quickly becoming not worth pulling out and processing, what does that mean for the

dead pine still standing? Who replants the area?As I understand it, the province’s silviculture program relies on a replanting-debt license

holders assume when they log the bush. If a dead tree isn’t cut down, it also isn’t replaced.A final shakeout is the effect the contraction of the regional forest industry will have on

all of us.Even if West Fraser and Canfor manage to find placements for every one of their employ-

ees affected by the mill closures, that doesn’t change the fact that almost 500 jobs were lost last week.

Five hundred internal vacancies won’t be filled by new workers and their families moving to Quesnel or Houston. Jobs that were there, but are soon to be gone, are jobs lost, no matter how you slice the forest license pie or move workers around the province.

This is terrible news for Houston and Quesnel as communities. The closure of the Houston Forest Products mill is devastating. The Houston mill was also the buyer of a lot of timber harvested in the Lakes timber supply area.

There’s no silver lining here, but it is a credit to Canfor and West Fraser that they’ve given so much advance notice to workers and their communities.

West Fraser and Canfor set themselves up for much potential difficulty by announcing the closure of the mills so far in advance. Workers will immediately want to look for work else-where, and in an industry so hungry for labour, it could mean operational problems.

Both companies could have waited until the final days and given short notice, which would have hurt workers and their families. At least now there’s time for plans to be made and for both companies to work with their employees to make the best of a very difficult situation.

is to explore opportunities to transition Houston employees to one of our other operations and we will provide assistance in finding new employment.”

Significant upgrades and modernizations were also announced for West Fraser’s Smithers and 100 Mile House operations. Whether or not those upgrades will result in more jobs is not yet clear. In total, $350 million in investments were announced by West Fraser, although some of those investment dollars had previously been announced.

West Fraser and Canfor exchanged forest licences in the Ques-nel, Lakes, and Morice Timber Supply Areas (TSAs) to strength-en timber supply to remaining mills. Provincial approval of the exchanges is required.

The exchange of forest licenses and mill shutdowns are being blamed on the loss of timber supply following the mountain pine beetle epidemic.

“The timber availability in the Quesnel region following the mountain pine beetle infestation unfortunately leaves us unable to continue operation of our Quesnel sawmill,” said Canfor Presi-dent and CEO Don Kayne.

In the north and central interior, West Fraser will maintain saw-mills in Fraser Lake, Smithers and Quesnel. Canfor will continue to operate its sawmills in Houston, Vanderhoof, and Quesnel, as well as several locations in Northeast B.C.

Kayne added that the move may prevent further mill closures

related to the mountain pine beetle.“We want this to be the last mountain pine beetle closure we

take at Canfor,” he said. “So we looked for a Quesnel operator who would be willing to exchange tenure in one of our other operating areas, allowing us to safeguard the future of another Canfor mill, in this case Houston.”

In Houston, within the next two weeks, West Fraser will be-gin a mill safety and worker retention program to keep the mill running smoothly until the spring shutdown. Dave Lehane, West Fraser vice president of woodlands, said the program will include bonuses to employees who remain with the mill until then.

“Our first priority was to communicate directly with our em-ployees,” Lehane said. “Our second priority is now to ensure that the facility can operate safely into the spring.”

“We currently have 70 jobs on our internal job board, and we’re hiring at just about everyone of our locations,” Lehane added. “The real challenge is that employees may need to relocate. We will be working one-on-one with our employees in this difficult time.”

Houston Mayor Bill Holmberg found out about the mill clo-sure only moments before the announcement was made public. Nechako Lakes MLA John Rustad called him about half an hour before the announcement yesterday. Rustad is working with the community to develop a plan to deal with the terrible news.

“The biggest concern is the loss of 225 jobs in Houston,” Holmberg said. “You’re not going to fill that hole. We’ve got to figure out how to mitigate the downfall.”

Last week or so I have written about ‘The Big Dry’ in the big de-pression years but I will finish off with a little story that I put in some years ago.

During those years water was our big prob-lem. We had a cistern under the house for rain water but no rain, no water. We had three wells which we pumped dry every day and the Eyehill creek was not running, just a few holes with water.

We had one big slough below the barn which kept water in it until late spring. As it was soft water mother liked it for washing clothes so once a week I

would bring up a 60 gal-lon of water with a team of horses on a stone boat. It was a float with runners on and about 10 foot long. It was handy for hauling water. In the slough there was still about three feet in the middle.

I hooked up the team, Goldy and June, loaded up the big oak barrel and off I went. My little brother Peter wanted to come along so we were on the way to the slough. I drove the team into the water and it was deeper than I thought and Peter was standing in water to his waist so I stood him in the barrel to take him across as I could not fill the barrel with him in it.

Goldy, the one mare, was spooky and she jumped and the barrel with Peter in it rolled into about three feet of water. I dropped the reins and let the team go and I jumped into the water as he was still in the barrel. It was fill-ing with water, I got

him out and we walked home. The team were home already.

Dad sure took a strip off me for nearly drowning Peter. Any-way I got the team again and filled Mother’s wa-ter barrel. On the phone last week I asked Peter if he remembered this little episode and he sure did. It could have been very serious but we had a good laugh anyway.

Goldy got me into trouble a second time and it was serious, some day I will write about it.

Caster oilThis is a true story as

it happened to our fam-ily many years ago now. Growing up on the prai-rie as we did was rugged as power, that we heard of and take for granted today, was unknown. Meat especially was hard to keep. Whatever was left in the spring of our winter meat had to be put in jars, smoked, or dried and pickled or it was thrown out.

Mother canned in

glass sealers most of the leftover meat and she was really careful. This time one jar got by her, it had turned.

I was late getting home as I was riding for a neighbour of ours and had supper with them. I went to bed early after putting my saddle horse in the barn ready for an early morning start. Two o’clock mother woke me up with the news we are all sick that meat we had for supper was bad. Ride as fast as your can to the local store and get a big bot-tle of caster oil. Every-one was deadly sick. So I made a record trip, got the store keeper, Amy Smith, out of bed, got a big bottle of caster oil and off for home.

I left my lathered horse at the door of the house. Mother had a pan of hot milk which she poured in the caster oil and everyone except me had a cup full.

Our dad and George Boxal, our hired man, were both very sick

but the dose of caster oil and hot milk did the trick.

If you want some-thing to make you stand up and take notice try a cup of hot milk laced with caster oil.

It’s good for what ails you. Poor mother as this was the first time in many years that she had a sealer of beef go bad on her. As it happened my saddle horse was in the barn so a quick run like I had no doubt saved some lives as anything to do with bad meat is dangerous.

Why there was no taste to the bad meat mother had used some spices in the cooking. Brother Peter will enjoy this little story.

The BrownsWhat an honour it is

for Burns Lake when I saw the picture of Jack and Greg Brown cele-brating their 87 years of business in Burns Lake.

The same business in the same location still giving service to the residents of the Lakes

District. The business Burns Lake Home Hardware has been a landmark in Burns Lake. We are proud of you.

You were there to help us when we first hit Burns Lake, now over 62 years ago and I will always remember your hardware where you had such a stock, your motto was if we don’t have it we will get it and you did.

When we first came into town your father Jack Brown Sr. had a garage also the Chev dealership. This was a busy place, plus a huge hardware as well for the times.

As I was in the taxi business in the 40s and I well remember buy-ing an almost new Ford sedan and I think a chev sedan.

They are good cars and did me well. If I remember well Gordon Rush was the salesman. These are good memo-ries to look back on. Your father was a good

friend to me. In the ear-ly 40s your father gave my wife Jo Keefe and Kay Cooper their first job clerking and general store work.

They worked the win-ter for Home Hardware. it was a nasty cold win-ter and the store was heated with a huge wood heater.

My wife used to say could it go through the wood. Jo and Kay got a wealth of good experi-ence working for and with your father. He was nice to them and helpful too.

The girls boarded with Mrs. Nourse in an upstairs apt. She was like a mom to them. When spring came Kay went back to her dad’s ranch on the Brown Rd. and Jo went nursing. Jo used to say that was a great experience work-ing for the Home Hard-ware and fun too.

Must close up now with my usual remem-ber always God loves you and so do I.

Caster oil was a sure fix back in the old days

Through Cindy’s research process it was realized that approximately 70% of BC’s resources come from the North. As a result of these findings, Cindy has been engaging with other communities to increase awareness of the significant contributions that the North provides to the overall economy of BC.

South Burns Lake Trail Project CAF Update:

LEDA has been actively moving the project forward with ongoing stakeholder meetings, obtaining necessary permits, archaeological assessments and First Nations advisory, to review and evaluate the project to best utilize the area and trail quality.

LEDA is pleased to announce that Darwin Zimmer has been hired as the Project Supervisor for the South Burns Lake Trail Project. Darwin will be responsible for the hiring of all the crews, overseeing all components of the project and reporting to LEDA’s Board of Directors.

For information regarding this exciting community initiative, please contact Cindy Shelford, Economic Development Officer.

Get to know your community - Get involvedIt is time to start planning for the Fall, school supplies, time to work on your house, time to get in the last bit of summer vacation!Be a tourist in your own community! Burns Lake & the Lakes District is full of places and experiences waiting to be discovered that you may not have considered before. Take your family for a hike in the woods, or a bike ride on the many Trails in the area, � nd a great place to have a picnic or a paddle through some of the most beautiful lakes in the world.Get more involved in your community by volunteering. Join the many volunteers who freely donate their time to help others. It is an excellent way to gain skills, meet friends and develop contacts. Use volunteer experiences to build your resume, improve your networking skills, gain self-con� dence, but also to learn about the local culture and gain a stronger sense of belonging to a community. A volunteer also bene� ts themselves because they get to see how their contribution has made a difference.Awareness of what is going on in your community is important. What strengthens a community is when people get together to work on a common goal. They � nd out more about the community, a project or an organization.

Look to see how you can get involved.

The Northern Medical Programs Trust (NMPT), established in 2002, found and early and eager sup-porter in the Burns Lake community. Fund raising in Burns Lake made it the second community in Northern B.C. to reach its funding goal, which was determined based on population size.

To date, Burns Lake has contributed $72,000 to the fund in support of the University of Northern B.C. (UNBC) Northern Medical Program (NMP). The NMP represents the UNBC faculty of medi-cine’s commitment to addressing the need for med-ical professionals in rural and northern B.C.

After spending two semesters at the University of British Columbia, students complete the rest of their training at UNBC in Prince George, with op-portunities for placements in northern communities as part of their practical studies. Thirty-two students arrive in Prince George every year as part of the pro-gram. Some of the first graduates of the program are choosing to remain and work in Northern B.C.

The $7 million NMPT fund is an endowment fund. On current investment returns - NMPT only spends the interest earned - the fund supports an annual disbursement of approximately $150,000.

The fund money goes towards assisting any stu-dent in the NMP, and not towards students spe-cifically from Northern B.C. But the program does draw a lot of students from across the north.

“About two-thirds of the students in this year’s first-year NMP cohort are from Northern B.C.,” said Robert van Adrichem, UNBC vice-president of external relations.

Some of the larger grants include $5000 awards to NMP students who complete an academic year in either Terrace or Fort St. John, with other com-munities being considered for future placements. Seven students received this award this year.

Students placed in rural communities for two to four week placements receive grants in the $2000 range, depending on the distance from Prince George the rural placement.

Nursing students receive support through Nurse Practitioner Grants, which averages about $1800 per nursing student to participate in a rural place-ment.

The NMPT also supports community projects like last year’s Travelling Rural Health Roadshow that spent a few days in Burns Lake familiarizing medi-cal students with the area, and area students with the possibilities of a career in medicine.

The northern medical program and the innovative programs the trust supports have increased the draw of UNBC for Northern B.C. students considering a career in medicine.

Burns Lake has two students in the UNBC medi-cal program, Jocelyn and Christopher Unger.

TransCanada was back in town for an update. Presentations to the board of the Regional District of Bulkely Nechako (RDBN), the

Village of Burns Lake, and a public open house in Burns Lake were held on Oct. 25, 2013.

At approximately $10 million per kilometre,

TransCanada is opti-mistic that the $6.5 bil-lion project is one of the many announced natu-ral gas pipelines that will come to fruition.

“This is a very prom-ising project,” said Joe Zhou, Coastal GasLink project manager. “The

Winter is ready.

How about you? Prepare yourself for winter conditions.

Start by asking yourself this: Do you really need to go?

In winter, sometimes the best defensive driving is staying at home. Can your trip be delayed or switched to another day? If not, the best defense is to prepare yourself. Follow these seven steps:

1. Check the current road conditions and

weather forecast. Listen to the radio, TV and visit DriveBC.ca. Again, ask yourself – is it safe to go?

2. Plan your route ahead of time. Avoid any roads that may become dangerous during bad weather. Respect road closure signs and barriers and do not attempt to drive on these routes until they are re-opened.

3. Leave lots of time so you’re not rushing to

get to where you need to be. Try to travel during daylight and consider delaying your trip if the weather is bad. Let someone know your route and planned arrival time.

4. Learn winter road skills. If you are unfamiliar with driving in snow and icy conditions and your job requires you to be behind the wheel, ask your employer for winter driving training.

Through training and practice, learn how to brake safely, how to get out of a skid, and how your car handles in winter weather.

5. Keep at least four seconds distance between

you and the vehicle in front of you. This will allow plenty of room in situations where you may need to brake suddenly on a slippery surface.

6. Wear comfortable clothing that doesn’t

restrict your movement while driving. Bring warm clothing (winter boots, coat, gloves and hat) with you in case you need to get out of your vehicle.

7. Have an emergency plan. If you get stuck or stranded, don’t panic. Stay with your vehicle for safety and warmth. If you have a cell phone and it is an emergency, call 911. Otherwise, call for roadside assistance.

Know before you go.

“The RDBN should split the cost,” Frank Varga, VBL councillor said. “It’s not fair to have the village tax base subsidizing rural areas.”

The RDBN only recently became aware of the statistics pre-sented to council on Oct. 23, and initial talks between the VBL and RDBN directors of areas E and B have suggested a possible future cost sharing.

Mayor Luke Strimbold told council the RDBN was consider-ing a top-up of the village contribution from $13,638 to $20,000, although talks with the RDBN are in preliminary stages and no proposal has been brought forward yet to the RDBN board of

directors. The extra $6,362 would not be enough for Burns Lake PVS to

maintain a permanent assistant, and with the termination of that position, available service levels will decline.

Burns Lake PVS would need $30,831 annually to fund a per-manent assistant. This is in addition to the $13,638 the village already contributes, bringing the annual total required to $44,469 beyond what the ministry of justice currently provides.

The village supports working with the RDBN, or other agencies, to fund Burns Lake PVS with a permanent as-sistant.

A year ago, repre-sentatives from the TransCanada Coastal GasLink Pipeline proj-ect were in Burns Lake to inform residents, municipal and regional governments of their plans to connect North-east B.C. natural gas fields to proposed Liq-uid Natural Gas (LNG) facilities in Kitimat.

The 650 km pipeline is one year closer to go-ing in the ground, and

Walking into the Burns Lake Home Hardware last Saturday afternoon, local resident Garth Schienbein was looking for a part for his RV water pump.

Jack Brown was pay-ing a visit to the hard-ware store his family has owned now for three generations, or 87 years of continual service in Burns Lake. He noticed Schienbein, and walked over to see if he could help him find what he was looking for.

After realizing the specialized part wasn’t available, Jack asked Schienbein to wait a moment while he ran home to see if he had the part somewhere in his garage.

“Jack doesn’t do re-tired very well,” said Schienbein. “He’s al-ways been this way.”

The Home Hardware on the corner of Cen-tre St. and Hwy. 16 has been there for 87 years. Jack Brown is the second generation of Browns to own the store. His father, Jack S. Brown established it with partners in the 1920s. Now, Jack’s son Greg runs the day-to-day store operations.

It wasn’t always a Home Hardware. It started out as the Burns Lake Hardware Store, became a Marshall-

Wells Hardware store, a Macleod’s Hardware store, and then finally a Home Hardware fran-chise in 1985.

Every business deci-sion the Brown family has made concerning the stores affiliation has been determined by how they understood Burns Lake.

“We left Macleod’s when they went down the superstore route, similar to the Walmart philosophy of piling everything up and sell-ing it cheap,” Jack ex-plained. “That’s okay in the city, but in small markets it doesn’t do you any good. We don’t have the volume of traf-fic you would need to run a discount style store.”

By joining Home Hardware, the Browns were able to cut out the middle man.

“Home Hardware is dealer-owned buying group,” Jack explained. “The wholesale end of it works just to break even. There’s no mid-dle-man mark up.”

By eliminating the extra profit margin a normal wholesale sup-plier would be look-ing for, the Burns Lake Home Hardware is able to stay reasonably competitive in a market where big box stores in Prince George draw lo-cal shoppers away.

“People like to shop

out of town, especially when you have some-thing else to do in the city,” Jack said. “It’s just a fact of life.”

“But for many things when you figure out your true cost of going to Prince George just to shop - the cost of travel, and wear-and-tear on your vehicle - there’s no great savings.”

“Sometimes you just don’t have the choice of things here that you have in Prince George,” Jack added. “When I go to Prince George for another reason, I’ll do some shopping.”

There was a time when an automotive garage and dealership operated out of the lo-cation.

“There used to be a garage and a GM deal-ership here, in the back half of the store,” Jack said. “Up where the bottle depot is now used to be the car lot.”

“It was a four-line dealership,” Jack said. “The only car they didn’t sell here was the Cadillac line.”

The Browns got out of the auto dealership business in 1982, sell-ing the dealership busi-ness to a buyer from Vancouver.

But the dealership suffered from an inabil-ity to understand the lo-cal market.

“They could have brought in more just

off-lease cars and sold them at a discount,” he explained. “Instead, they thought everybody should have the fanci-est cars and the fanci-est pick-ups. He could have done very well if he would have just sold the cars people wanted.”

With the end of the garage and the deal-ership in the middle 1980s, Jack expanded the hardware store to the dimensions we now see when we go inside.

“We used to have a furniture showroom back here, but eventu-ally the demand for hardware meant we ex-panded it into the whole store.”

“Burns Lake is fortu-nate to have as a large a hardware store as this one to serve its popula-tion,” Jack said. “We’ve kept putting back into the business to grow it to the size it is now.”

Community involve-ment has been a big part of Home Hardware’s presence in Burns Lake. Jack is a Burns Lake Rotary member, mem-ber of the Burns Lake Community Founda-tion, and has served in many different volun-teer capacities in town.

“My father was a [vol-unteer] member of the board of directors during the construction of the first hospital in Burns Lake, and now I sit on the current board for the

Logging Debris Burning As the snow approaches, we at

Burns Lake Community Forest Ltd. are preparing for our 2013 Logging Debris

Burning Program.

Logging debris is commonly left on harvesting blocks after processing due

to rot, disease, or a failure to meet processing facilities specs. This debris is piled to allow us to burn it when it is

safe to do so.

Through the coming weeks we’ll be burning piles throughout the

Community Forest, in order to prevent these piles from potentially becoming a

fire hazard in the drier seasons.

Vandalism last week

Four businesses in the west end of Burns Lake vandalized sometime around midnight on Oct. 22, 2013. Kal Tire had roof vent turbines destroyed. Other businesses had lighting smashed and the Rainbow gas bar had a window smashed, again. A Lakes District Maintenance grader was also vandalized. Burns Lake RCMP are requesting information by calling Crimestoppers at 250-222-8477. The damage to the Bargain Shop pictured above was from a previous evening.

PIPELINE from t P7

project has all the essential factors in place.”The project has the backing of Shell Canada,

who already has the source secured with licensing to extract natural gas in B.C.

Shell is also working with Japanese, Korean, and Chinese investors to secure the required long-term LNG contracts for a final investment decision to be made.

Zhou said that well over $100 million has already been invested into the pre-application work Coastal GasLink has been engaged in over the past year in preparation for its provincial application for an en-vironmental assessment certificate.

Extensive field work along the proposed route will contribute to the 70,000 page document Trans-Canada expects to submit to the province’s environ-mental assessment office in the new year.

Through consultation with stakeholders in the Fraser Lake area and near Bald Hill, south of Burns Lake, TransCanada has revised its proposed pipe-line route to avoid areas of concern. Two Bald Hill residents were happy to see that the company had made a significant change to the route that by-pass-es Bald Hill properties.

Zhou reported to the RDBN that a large portion of field work person hours have been dedicated to First Nations consultation.

“Forty per cent of field hours have been directed toward First Nation consultation,” Zhou said of the 120,000 field hours accumulated so far in preparing the environmental assessment document.

If the application is successful, Coastal GasLink could be under construction by 2015, and would generate over 2000 jobs for the three to five years it would take to build the pipeline.

While at the RDBN table, Zhou was asked about how the project will manage the wood fibre the pipeline right-of-way would remove from the land

base. “Does permitting require you to transport timber

to mills or processing facilities,” asked Vanderhoof Mayor, Gerry Theissen. “Are you required to en-sure that all fibre is processed?”

“We intend to harvest all the timber of value,” Zhou replied. “That’s a given.”

Details of the fibre harvest program have not been established yet, but Zhou said that Trans-Canada will work with local forestry companies to develop a plan to identify and then salvage mer-chantable timber.

A further concern for members of the RDBN is permanent loss of land base to multiple pipeline corridors.

A pipeline right-of-way will require approxi-mately 30 to 50 metres of clear-cut the length of the pipeline route. Much of this could be through merchantable timber resources.

“We are concerned the [pipeline] corridor is lost forever,” Theissen added.

A common corridor for multiple pipelines may seem like a good idea, Zhou said, but it is a com-plicated proposal. Pipeline companies guard their proposed routes as commercially proprietary, and the natural competitiveness between companies doesn’t set the stage for a cooperative environment.

A second complication is different source and terminal destinations for different projects.

The final decision for a pipeline corridor may rest in the hands of the province, Zhou said.

“As a proponent,” he said, “We’ll follow the ad-vice of the government.”

Coastal GasLink and Pacific Trails Pipeline would be side-by-side for large portions of their selected routes, although they would not have a common corridor. The two, 50 metre right-of-ways may overlaps slightly, sparing several metres of land base loss, but the pipelines would not share the same right-of-way.

No shared corridor in plan

Don’t forget on Saturday night you have to set your clocks back

one hour!

I have been in minis-try for 38 years and am excited to have the op-portunity to serve the community of Burns Lake. I previously served in Ross River, Yukon, Cranbrook, and the Sunshine Coast.

My last posting was Navajo Bible Church in

Fort Defiance, Arizona on the Navajo reservation.

My background is In-dependent Baptist, but I felt God leading me to the Mennonite church.

My wife, Liz is an RN who specializes in PACU (surgical recov-ery room) and is on a short term assignment in Alaska, but will be back in Burns Lake in December.

I am totally com-mitted to teaching and preaching the truth of the word of God and serves with a genuine heart of love for people believing that love is the key to true Christianity.

I want to focus on families by leading the church to have special family nights with ac-tivities for the whole family.

Enbridge Northern Gateway’s ap-plication to proceed with field work at its proposed Endako River cross-ing near Burns Lake came before the Regional District of Bulkley Nechako (RDBN) board of directors on Oct. 24, 2013.

The Endako River, or the Narrows, is a short channel connecting Burns Lake and Decker Lake. The proposed field work area is at the west end of the channel, outside of the Village of Burns Lake municipal limits.

The application seeks a two-year time frame within which to conduct geophysical surveys and drilling to test subsurface conditions and collect technical data from four test sites. The application is for license to cut timber under the forest act, and a temporary water use permit under the water act.

The data collected will be, according to a Regional District of Bulkley Nechako (RDBN) staff report, used to evaluate the proposed Enbridge pipeline project.

In response to the invitation to comment on the application, the RDBN recognized the application did not af-fect its interests in terms of the limited range of interests the RDBN is able to comment on, but they did recom-mended as a board that Enbridge contact nearby residents and the Burns Lake Band,

‘to ensure that the proposed land use of the property does not unnecessarily impact area residents.”

Steve Freeman, RDBN director area E, and District of Fort St. James Director, Mayor Rob MacDougall, had their objection to the application noted for the record.

According to the application docu-ments, the work will likely not start until the summer of 2014.

The temporary use permit applica-tion is subject to approval from the B.C. Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations. At press time, Lakes District News was unable to verify if the permit had al-ready been granted or when a deci-sion will be made regarding the ap-plication.

WORD SEARCH

SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, you may have a desire to travel and seek ad-venture, but right now finances won’t allow it. If you can keep expenses down, you may have the opportunity soon.

SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21 Expect to have luck on your side this week, Sagit-tarius. As a natural born risk-taker, all you need is a little incentive to get out and take a chance.

CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20 Keep your intentions hidden from others until you are ready for the big reveal, Capricorn. This will help make the surprise even more exciting for all those involved.

AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, discussions reach a point where you want to make permanent changes to your plans. Mull things over before making any final decisions, but enjoy this exciting time.

PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20 Personal details about your private life may become pub-lic, Pisces. How this information is handled depends on your reaction.

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, shake things up a bit to inpsire some much-needed change. Be a tourist in your own city if you cannot afford a trip or immerse yourself in new cultures.

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 It is not a good week to begin new projects, Taurus. In fact, cosmic signs point to finishing up anything you have outstanding. Try to focus on financial matters as well.

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 Cooperate with others this week, Gemini. This works best when you embrace compromise. Listen to what others have to say and always keep an open mind.

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, a desire to get organized has been on your mind for quite some time. Now is the ideal time to do something about it. Start by clearing out clutter and go from there.

LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 Enjoy a short vacation, Leo. It may be a jaunt to a weekend hideaway or something off the beaten path, but make the most of this well-deserved escape from the daily grind.

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, you are feeling domestic this week, so enjoy put-tering around the house these next several days. You can catch up on decorating or renovating the home.

LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, you feel a strong need to communicate with others this week. Share some truths with your loved ones, but try not to come across as if you have an agenda.

WORD SCRAMBLE

Windows 8.1 Update Windows 8.1 has been released and here are a few of the new or returning features. First off, the Start button has returned, sort of. The button is back where it was before, but it will just bring you back to the tile start screen rather than bringing up the classic Windows Start menu. Right clicking the start button will now bring up a list of different options if you need to get somewhere in a hurry. For those people not enjoying the tile start screen, Windows 8.1 now allows you to start directly in Desktop mode. To do this, go to Desktop mode, right click on the Taskbar, select Properties, select the Navigation Tab, and it’s the first option in the Start Screen area. If you’re also not a fan of the “Hot Corners” menus that pop up when your mouse cursor is near on of the screen corners, this can now be disabled. Other new features include greater customization for the new tile screen. You now have a greater range of options for wallpapers and as well as personal pictures for the tile start menu. The tiles themselves also have more options for sizes and shapes.
