Rare bird

Burns Lake locals Derrik Denholm and Ben Reynolds spotted this turkey vulture near Wisteria. These are more common in the Southern part of B.C.; however this is the extreme Northern extent of their range. Denholm said this was his first turkey vulture sighting in 25 years of forestry work.

Nechako-Lakes John Rustad wins with solid majority

According to the preliminary voting results from the initial count, Elections B.C. is showing that on May 14, 2013, B.C. voters re-elected a majority Liberal government. Under the leadership of Christy Clark, the party defied consistently negative pre-election polling results and delivered a 17-seat provincial majority, with 44.4 per cent of the popular vote and 50 seats. The NDP took 33 seats, with 39.49 per cent of the popular vote; the Green Party took one seat at 8.01 per cent of cast ballots; an independent took one seat and the B.C. conservatives took no seats with only 4.78 per cent of the vote. Premier Christy Clark narrowly lost in her riding of Vancouver Point-Grey. It is anticipated that an elected Liberal member of legislative assembly will step down from his or her seat to allow Clark to run in a by-election. In Nechako-Lakes, incumbent Liberal MLA John Rustad won a strong majority. He took 54.5 per cent of ballots cast. His nearest threat, NDP Sussanne Skidmore-Hewlett took only 27 per cent of the vote. Dan Brooks, the Vanderhoof guide outfitter who ran on the B.C. Conservative platform outperformed his party’s province-wide results with 12.6 per cent of the vote in Nechako-Lakes. Looking at the provincial electoral map, one sees a giant wall of Liberal red connecting the Southern Interior of the province straight through to the Northeast Peace region.

WALTER STRONG Burns Lake native Jeff Scott was terribly injured three years ago in a snowboarding accident that left him paralyzed from the waist down. Since then has worked with a strong group of friends and fellow travellers to establish the Live it! Love it! Foundation. The foundation works to provide outdoor recreation opportunities and activities for those who though they might never enjoy the outdoors again due to lifechanging accidents or injuries. Scott was part of an online campaign where entrants made a case for why and how a new, mobility-modified van would help with the entrant’s needs and hopes. Scott tailored his entry around the use that the van could be put to in helping with the foundation. His current van, wellpassed its best-beforedate with more than 400,000 kms on the 20 year old machine, isn’t worth modifying to adapt to Scott’s specific needs. With a new van, he’d be able to get around as a solo-driver. He needs this for his work with the foundation. Response to the online voting, now closed, was very strong. Exactly 20,551 votes were cast in support of Scott’s entry, putting him into the semifinalist category - the

Council declines invite from Enbridge

Walter Strong

In recent Village of Burns Lake news, council declined an offer by Enbridge to fly representatives of Burns Lake to the site of a an oil spill clean-up in the U.S. community of Marshall, Michigan. Village of Burns Lake council remains neutral with regard to the Enbridge Northern Gateway proposal. Regarding the offer, Mayor Luke Strimbold said that village council would like to engage in conversation with other communities affected by pipelines to learn from their experiences, both good and bad. “In the future we hope that other communities co-host a session with industry, which means we can talk council-to-council,” he said. At the end of April, the 2012 audited financial statements for the Corporation of the Village of Burns Lake were released by Edmison Meher Chartered Accountants of Smithers. Not only were all accounts in order, but the auditor made note of the high standard of financial controls the Village had maintained over 2012, particularly in light of the difficult circumstances the community was thrust into after the tragedy of the Babine Forest Products Sawmill explosion. Solid financial controls help to deal with unexpected circumstances, like the recent meltdown of its street sweeper. The flameout, which resulted in no injuries, did enough damage to put the unit out of commission, but not enough damage to warrant an immediate insurance write-off. Currently, insurance adjusters are considering whether or not it is a complete write-off, which would give the village replacement value to purchase a new street sweeper. A new street sweeper would cost north of $250,000. The adjustor has the option of paying for repairs only, in which case, the village would probably opt for a cash buyout based on the repair estimate instead of putting repairs into an already ageing machine worth less than the probable cost of repairs.

TOM FLETCHER

Clark’s win confounds the ‘experts’ The pollsters, pundits and the self-styled rebels of the B.C. Liberal Party were struggling for answers as their conventional wisdom went out the window on election night. In came the B.C. Liberals and Christy Clark for a fourth term, with a 50-seat majority that is stronger than the one they took into the 2013 election. “Welcome to the club,” Alberta Premier Alison Redford wrote on Twitter on election night, referring to Redford’s own win in the face of a wall of polls and pontificators saying she was done. Here’s the next thing to ignore from the media experts who rub shoulders with those pollsters and political strategists. It’s all about the negative ads, they will say, and NDP leader Adrian Dix’s big mistake was to run a “positive” campaign. Rubbish. Was their long fight against the harmonized sales tax a positive campaign? Is piling on sham environmental reviews for the express purpose of killing industrial projects a positive idea? “Clearly our message didn’t get out the way we wanted it to get out,” Dix said after watching one of the biggest comebacks in Canadian political history. That’s rubbish too. He got his message out just fine, serving it up in bite-sized pieces in a classic front-runner’s campaign that cynically put off the most difficult choices. He was going to expand government, and restrict industrial development to appease urban voters. Dix’s most dramatic policy shift contributed to his undoing. Mid-campaign, in a decision that surprised even his platform co-chairs, Dix turned against the proposal to twin the TransMountain oil pipeline that winds across B.C. from Alberta to Burnaby. Well, not the pipeline itself, but the prospect of more oil tankers in and out of Vancouver harbour. BURNS LAKE

LAKES DISTRICT NEWS

At least now, more people will understand that Vancouver has been an oil port for nearly a century, and that Canada’s future includes energy development. More people should also appreciate that environmental assessment is not a political game. Andrew Weaver made history as B.C.’s first Green Party MLA. He came out swinging against Clark’s economic holy grail, development of liquefied natural gas exports from the North Coast. Weaver calls LNG a “pipe dream” that will never materialize. It will be interesting to watch him as he is proved wrong on that, and then as he grapples with gas as a transition fuel that can be used to develop clean energy infrastructure. B.C. Conservative leader John Cummins ran a distant third in his Langley constituency, and his goal of a breakthrough didn’t materialize anywhere. His idea of scrapping the carbon tax on fossil fuels didn’t impress many people, despite his focus on rural and northern B.C. Clark should heed the NDP on at least one thing. Dix promised to move B.C. election dates to the fall, starting in 2017. The idea of giving his anticipated government an extra six months to govern the province was uncontroversial when Dix proposed it in his party’s election platform, so Clark will probably proceed with it. Another NDP idea Clark should adopt is getting the corporate and union money out of election campaigns. She likely won’t, because her party’s financial advantage is too great, but the time has come for this important reform. The B.C. Liberals’ much-discussed “balanced” budget will now be put to the test over the next few months. The legislature must be convened by September to debate that budget. This should be the last vote based on an untested budget, and the first of many scheduled fall legislature sessions.

CMCA AUDITED

“Tonight, we have received a mandate from the people of British Columbia,” said Christy Clark once it was clear that the B.C. Liberals would form a fourth majority government. While her claim is true, it glosses over two facts. First, when you look at the popular vote you find a more even distribution of voters across the spectrum that runs from Liberal to NDP. Is there really a third alternative? Everyone has the right to do with their vote as they choose, but under our electoral system, it’s hard to see some votes as anything more than simply thrown away. In some ridings, votes cast for fringe candidates probably resulted in the election of a candidate who holds completely opposing views to what the voter had in mind when he or she cast a ballot. But electoral reform is a debate for idealists, and they are in a different room these days. Idealists (insert your own personal favourite ‘-ist’ or ‘-ism’ here) these days find themselves camped around the second issue that the election results gloss over. The final vote does not reflect the discontent felt by some/many First Nations voters in Northern B.C. who will probably become more galvanized against the natural gas pipeline development the Liberal government committed itself to during its election run. It is impossible to know how the vote was cast along ethnic, religious, or indigenous lines. ‘Some’ and ‘many’ are just words a person uses to express his or her own preference for how a group of people might feel when no clear mandate from that group exists. What remains to be seen is how First Nations will reconcile the groundswell of citizen opposition to the decisions of their own elected councils. This isn’t to cast the pipeline situation as a grassroots indigenous position versus a clear majority of non-indigenous voters. The situation is not all that different with voters in general. In Prince Rupert, Jennifer Rice won the North Coast riding for the NDP. Rice was never shy about her opposition to any kind of oil pipeline across the Northwest. She also premissed her support for natural gas pipelines upon clear support from First Nations and the rest of her constituency. In fact, all three Northwest ridings voted for NDP representation. If you ignore the vote splitting on the right, you could be forgiven for believing that in the Northwest there is a unified voice against oil, and a strong tone of caution regarding natural gas. If you look at the vote count, you’ll find Northwest B.C. to be very fractured when it comes to the everyday person’s position on oil and natural gas. Those fracture lines tend to follow lines of economic and environmental impact. One natural gas pipeline is already in the early stages of construction up here, and the provincial majority does, at least on the surface, send the signal that B.C. is ready for business, or at least, that it’s business as usual. I doubt anyone will accuse me of being even remotely displeased with the election results, but I’d wager that the discontent felt by many voters over the outcome of this election will not fade and will only increase.

Lake Babine Nation new director

Gosnell brings selfgovernance experience WALTER STRONG

The Lake Babine First Nation (LBN) near Burns Lake recently welcomed a new executive director. Describing himself as a kind of operations manager for the affairs of the nation, Joseph Gosnell, brings 13 years of First Nations administrative experience to the position. Originally from the Terrace area, Gosnell is a member of the Nisga’a nation. His father is Joseph Arthur Gosnell, a widely honoured and distinguished Nisga’a leader. Gosnell began his career with First Nations governments in 2000, when he worked

under the new Nisga’a treaty. The Nisga’a ‘Final Agreement”, signed in 2000 was B.C.’s first modern treaty. “The treaty was just signed,” said Gosnell. “It was my job as an executive director to transition everything that had been managed and administered under Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development to self-governance.” Little more than a month ago, Gosnell arrived in Burns Lake to take on his position with LBN. It has been a whirlwind introduction to Burns Lake - he hasn’t had time to furnish his Burns Lake residence yet - but Gosnell is excited to be working with LBN. Although it is too early for him to be specific about details, he expects to be involved in ongoing LBN treaty negotiations. His first priority will be to deal with the col-

lapsed school gymnasium roof in Fort Babine. Gosnell’s philosophy when it comes to administration is down to earth. “Take care of your foundation and your finances first,” he said. “The first question for anything that hits the table is, did we budget for it?” Every First Nations community faces its own particular challenges and circumstances. With Burns Lake as the hub for First Nations communities in the area, he said that whatever impacts the Village of Burns Lake will have a ripple effect throughout all communities, especially the smaller nations that struggle with isolation and tiny administrative budgets. Conversely, what benefits local First Nations can benefit other communities as well. “I see a lot of op-

Support Cystic Fibrosis research

Maysa Milligan, just 20 months old, loves to go to the playground, cuddle her favourite stuffed kitty, and play with her older siblings. But Milligan's playtime is interrupted twice a day by a 30-minute nebulizer treatment, followed by chest and back pummelling to loosen the thick, sticky mucus in her lungs. She has Cystic Fibrosis (CF), a fatal genetic disease that prevents her body from absorbing nutrients and fighting infections. Cystic fibrosis is the most common fatal genetic disease in Canada. One person in 25 is a carrier of the fatal gene. Every week two children are diagnosed and one person dies. There is no cure, but there is cause for hope. Fifty years ago, children did not make it to kindergarten. Today, with improved treatments, 60 per cent live into adulthood. Research is underway to find a cure. Grandparents Bill and Jacqui Graham of Burns Lake are helping to reach this goal. On Sunday, May 26 from 3 to 4 p.m., Team Maysa will walk five kms around the

Taxpayers paying more for less Liberal party critic

Editor: Canadian taxpayers are now paying more for less thanks to the Conservative Party’s costly changes to our national census. The results are in and their decision to eliminate the mandatory long-form census has produced much lower-quality data that will often not be useable at the local level. In fact, Statistics Canada withheld data on over 1100 Canadian municipalities, including Tofino, because the numbers were just too unreliable. The government spent an extra $30 million to collect this inaccurate data compared to the

traditional, proven census. What a waste. How will a community know where a food bank is needed if we don’t know which neighbourhoods have the most poverty? How will school boards know where adult language training is most needed without knowing where immigrants are settling? We just don’t know. The errors in the data will only get worse over time. At least this time Statistics Canada can use the last full census as an anchor to correct some of the problems. Next time, that option won’t do much good.

The problem is spreading: governments and the private sector use data from the census to adjust their surveys if a group’s response rate is low. Now all these other statistics will be less reliable. The Conservatives are asking us to start making big, expensive decisions blindly, without the basic data that is essential to good planning. And they’re charging us more to do it. It’s irresponsible and we’re paying the price. Yours sincerely, Geoff Regan, MP Liberal Party of Canada Industry Critic

PITCH IN

Thank you

Burns Lake Chamber of Commerce would like to thank Babine Forest Products for supplying the BBQ, hot dogs and beverages. A BIG thank you to the schools and everyone who PITCHED IN to make our community look clean and beautiful once again. Walter Strong Photo

Village of Burns Lake Mayor Luke Strimbold and Christy Clark on May 9, 2013. The community BBQ, held in conjunction with the official groundbreaking at the site of the rebuild of the Babine Forest Products sawmill near Burns Lake, was one of Christy Clarks last campaign stops in the final days of the provincial election. ELECTION from t P1 Bob Simpson lost his seat to Liberal contender Coralee Oakes. The coastal electoral ridings were a different story. From the southernmost tip of Vancouver Island straight through to the Alaska border, it was a virtual NDP sweep. The Northwest ridings of Skeena and Stikine both elected NDP representation, although it appears that the Liberal vote in both ridings was split by ballots cast from outliers like the B.C. Conservatives and the Stikine Christian Heritage Party. Jennifer Rice won a clear majority in the riding of North Coast. In fact, if one assumes that the Green vote would have gone NDP had there been no Green candidate, then Rice would have won more than 67 per cent of the popular vote.

Rice has promised to continue to fight any oil pipeline - and to carefully consider the proliferation of natural gas pipeline proposals - through her riding, which would be the terminus for proposed natural gas and oil pipelines through Northwest B.C. The Clark Liberals, in contrast, ran on a platform heavily dependent on the notion of provincial prosperity through natural gas development. Village of Burns Lake Mayor Luke Strimbold, who never shied away from showing his support for Rustad, was happy with Rustad’s strong showing in Nechako-Lakes. “I think the Nechako-Lakes gave John Rustad a clear mandate,” Strimbold said. “Continue working hard for our communities and keep the momentum going.”

Corner ommunity Forest

In 2012 the Ministry of Forests Lands and Natural Resource Operations flew the Lakes Timber Supply Area and photographed it. This is good news! After the area is flown the photos are flattened and stitched together. This means that as the Earth is a sphere the photos need to be fixed to remove the stretch at the edge of the photo. Then the photos are stitched together. This makes an orthophoto. These photos will be for sale, but to the regular public it will be available in a lower resolution on Google Earth’s orthophoto viewer.

We at Burns Lake Community Forest hope you find the orthophoto useful in helping you enjoy outdoor activities. For more info on the community forest, call BL ComFor (250) 692-7724

FUN RIDE

TO CONQUER CANCER SATURDAY JUNE 1 • 11am-3pm

Summer registration for summer camp will be made available in the coming weeks. For more info call the village 250692-7587.

This ride is a fun ride to raise awareness of the Ride to Conquer Cancer, a 240km bike ride over two days from Vancouver to Seattle this June 15 and 16.We will be biking from Burns Lake (Radley Beach 10am) to the Wagon Wheel Drive-in at the ferry landing… and back again! A pulled pork sandwich special will be available at the drive-in (while quantities last) with proceeds going to support Derek Feldmann and his team members on the ride in Vancouver. There will also be a garage sale going on as well as draws, crafts, and home-baking! Come out, stretch your legs and have some fun. Later that evening, starting at 5pm, there will be a dinner special at the Grapevine Pub with proceeds going to the ride as well. Come out for some fine dining and support a good cause.

GOALLLLL! With David Beckham retiring from the game, youth in Burns Lake are putting some extra mileage on their training cleats to eventually step up to the pro leagues. The recent re-opening of the Lakes District Secondary School track and field after extensive re-engineering of the turf, irrigation systems, and the running track has been received with tremendous enthusiasm. Whether its runners doing laps on the forgiving crushed limestone coated running surface, soccer teams practicing or general hanging out and enjoying the sunshine, the field feels like the unofficial centre of Burns Lake.

For more info, to rent a table, or to reserve a spot at the Grapevine, call Derek @ 250-699-6628 or Margaret @ 250-695-6365.

Karaoke Night coming up at the Legion Saturday, May 25 at the Royal Canadian Legion, Branch 50.

Without missing a beat, writer/director J.J. Abrams continues with his reimagined ‘Star Trek’ universe, offering satisfying nods to the past and a fresh surge forward. And this crew of terrific characters continues to make this an extraordinary sci-fi saga. Cleverly, each one has an important role to play in this episode, and the result is thrilling. The film picks up a short time after the conclusion of the 2009 entry. Kirk (Chris Pine) and his crew are trying to save a primitive society from an erupting volcano. In the process, Spock (Zachary Quinto) becomes trapped and Kirk must violate the Federation's prime directive to save him. This results in the Enterprise being given back to Admiral Christopher Pike (Bruce Greenwood) and Kirk being demoted to First Officer. While the film has a shadowy theme, the screenplay never gets very deep, or as dark as the title suggests. There's oddly little actual danger on-screen. Instead, this is brightly energetic entertainment, with plenty of hilarious banter between characters even when they're at each other’s throats. New faces include Admiral Marcus (Weller), who's overseeing this vital mission and seems to have knowledge of suspiciously powerful weaponry, and his daughter Carol (Eve), who sneaks onto the Enterprise crew to spice things up. The action is quite spectacular, yet at times seems too much. It could use a few minutes to let the audience breathe before bombarding them again with all the explosions and fast moving scenes. ‘Star Trek Into Darkness’ is a summer movie in the best sense, and I highly recommend it. Even if you’re not familiar with the history, you don’t need to know it to enjoy this. ‘Star Trek Into Darkness opens at the Beacon Theatre this Friday.

Long time festival organizer retires

COMMUNITY

Lakes District News

Boni Lambert steps back from Burns Lake festival after more than 55 years of service WALTER STRONG

Great Strides Taking Steps to Cure Cystic Fibrosis - Sunday, May 26 in Burns Lake. For info call Jacqui Graham 250-692-3971.

The 2013 edition of the Festival of the Performing Arts in Burns Lake paused for a moment to acknowledge the hard work and dedication of one of the festival’s original members and organizers. During the gala performance on the final evening of the two-week event, Boni Lambert announced her retirement after 55 years of service to the performing arts community. Boni Lambert came to Burns Lake in 1952 as a young girl when her father moved the family from Vancouver to open a tire shop. Burns Lake was a very different place than it is now. Wood-board sidewalks and gravel highways east and west of town gave Burns Lake more of an isolated frontier town feel than it has now. “It used to take five hours to drive to Prince George,” Lambert recalled. “But it seemed like we had more in town than we do now. We used to have a dry-cleaners, two grocers on main street, and a photography studio.” What Burns Lake always had is a strong arts community. The festival was started in 1957 by then local music teachers Margaret Long and Moira Vine. The first festival was held in the old United church, currently the Masonic lodge at the corner of Third Ave. and Centre St. The original festival was mostly focussed on piano performance, but it quickly grew to include vocal and instrumental categories. Lambert’s work with the festival began with writing advertising for the festival programs. Her role within the group of volunteers that run the festival grow as the festival itself grew, until she became the festival vice president. This year’s festival included a reinstatement of an instrumental session in Smithers, as well as vocal, theatre-arts, piano, song and poetry sections in Burns Lake. The festival’s program hasn’t been static; it reflects the life of the arts in the region. “Years ago we used to have a dance festival as well,” she said. “We had competitors from Prince Rupert through to Quesnel. It was a big deal for Burns Lake.” The return of the instrumental portion to this years festival was the revival of what used to be a strong band and instrumental talent pool in Burns Lake. The festival had previously discontinued the instrumental section after band programs were phased out in the local elementary and high schools. There weren’t enough participants to justify a section. The festival has become smaller over the years, but it still requires a dedicated group of volunteers to put together the program every year. Lambert recently decided that this year would be her final year as a festival organizer. “After 50 or so years, I figured I had done my time,” she said. “There comes a time as you get older when you think maybe you should step back a bit and let younger people carry on.” The motivation for volunteering all those years came from seeing young people enjoy the music and develop as musicians and performers as they grew-up. “I wish there were more people who would step forward and volunteer for the committee,” she said. “We don’t have a problem getting help during the festival, but it’s the organizing part that it would be nice to have a few more people. Most of her family is in Kelowna and Kamloops area, but she has no plans to move from Burns Lake. “Burns Lake is a great community,” she said. “My friends here mean a lot to me.” “Burns Lake is my home and I’m going to stay here as long as I can.”

Running for a cause

For most people, running 30 kms a day, five days a week, might sound excessive, but Burns Lake resident Wendy Brown takes it all in stride. Wearing runners that are so old ‘they don’t even make them anymore’ Brown has logged more than 640 kms of running - 88 hrs of pounding the pavement - since last January in preparation for two long distance charity runs she has scheduled for this summer. The first run will take place in Northeast B.C. She’ll run a loop from Fort St. John through Dawson Creek, Chetwynd, Hudson Hope and back to her starting point. Brown is playing with the idea of doing a pyramid approach to the run where she

WALTER STRONG PHOTO

breaks down daily runs into manageable blocks that peak with a 30 kms portion every day. That approach would mean that she could be doing 60 kms a day. If that proves stressful on her body, she might simply run up to a marathon distance everyday as she covers the 327 km circuit. June 14, 2013 is the start date for the run in support of a drug treatment centre in Fort St. John, where Brown lived and worked for one year. She is committed to another run at the end of

July. Brown will run the 224 kms between Burns Lake and Prince George in support of the Prince George New Hope Society. Brown, a 2011 3000 metre National Indoor Track and Field champion and the 2012 1500 metre national gold medalist doesn’t spend any time worrying about complicated running programs, heartrate monitors, or special shoes. “I don’t worry about those things,” Brown said. “All I want to do is run.”
