CorrectionIn the story 'Adrenaline-filled weekend with Cold Smoke Drags' published
in the Lakes District News' Feb. 4 edition, it should have read that Tony Strim-bold was the winner of the open class. Lakes District News apologizes for any inconvenience this may have caused.
On Feb. 5, 2015, at 8:39 a.m., the Fraser Lake RCMP received a report of a collision between a commercial vehicle and a pick-up truck two kilometres east of Fraser Lake. A 31 year old man was pronounced deceased at the scene while his female passenger escaped with minor injuries. The highway was closed for part of the day. The crash is under investigation at this time and more details may be provided once known.

premises and complete-ly destroyed the mill, leaving approximately 230 direct employees without a job.
"When the mill was reopened, there was some apprehension because of what hap-pened, but when we talked to people they were positive," said Gray. "People were happy that the mill was
being rebuilt, and glad to come back to work."
The reopening of the mill started with two weeks of training. Councillors were on site assisting employ-ees who may have been experiencing heighten anxiety during the first few weeks. Employees were also encouraged to notify management if they were experiencing any personal difficul-ties.
The design of the new mill was intended to provide a safer and more welcoming space for workers. The inte-rior cladding and much of the conveyor chut-ing was painted white. This, combined with energy efficient light-ing, improved visibility and created a brighter and safer work environ-
ment."It looks like an of-
fice building," said Ste-ven Zika, Chief Execu-tive Officer of Hampton Affiliates.
Production during the first few months was intentionally slow, ac-cording to Zika. Super-visors prioritized mak-ing sure that employees were feeling comfort-able in new facility, as opposed to worrying about production num-bers. Employees, as well as management, needed that time to get accustomed to the new equipment and the new system, he said.
While the old mill required workers manu-ally sorting through lumber, the new mill handles lumber almost entirely through computer

Babine Forest Prod-ucts was officially re-opened in April 2014. The new sawmill not only offers a safer and more welcoming envi-ronment for workers, but it is also much more efficient than the old one.
The reopening of the sawmill, however, was not an easy process.
Ian Gray, plant man-ager of Babine Forest Products, recognizes that when the mill start-ed operations again, there was some obvious "nervousness" among employees.
On Jan. 20, 2012, an explosion at the mill cost the lives of two workers, and 20 others were injured. The fire spread throughout the

Premier Christy Clark’s push to “re-engi-neer” the B.C. education system is moving ahead aggressively in B.C.’s 25 post-secondary institu-tions.
One of the first tasks for Andrew Wilkinson in his new role as advanced education minister was to outline the shift in operating grants for col-leges and universities to
in-demand occupations. By 2017, a quarter of the money for post-secondary institutions will be di-rected to areas where labour force surveys forecast a need.
This was greeted with some alarm when it was announced last year. Simon Fraser University pres-ident Andrew Petter at first downplayed the com-ing skills shortage as “relatively small” and warned
against pushing post-secondary institutions into a “zero sum battle for dollars.”Petter has since come on board, as his approving comments were featured in the minis-
try’s Jan. 26 news release detailing the shift. He and others have been assured that in spite of Clark’s rhetoric, suggesting trades training is in and university is out, the news for SFU and other universities isn’t all that bleak. Wilkinson is completing a province-wide tour of all post-secondary institutions this week, and I reached him at his visit to Thompson Rivers University in Kamloops.
“The response to this has generally been pretty good, because the students are putting this pressure on institutions themselves,” he said. “Some of the institutions are … shrinking things like teacher education and putting more effort into the science-based, quantitative fields that are often related to these in-demand occupations.”
The surplus of teacher graduates has been noticeable for some time, but that’s largely a function of oversupply, much of it in urban areas. In the Cariboo, for example, teaching jobs are projected to have the highest number of openings by 2022, followed by nursing and retail and wholesale trade managers. Then come heavy duty mechanics and electricians, but also paraprofessional jobs in legal, social, community and educational services.
Province-wide, it’s part of a broader demographic shift to fewer children and more retirees. In fact the government started this targeted funding a decade ago with health care, forcing universities to produce more doctors, nurses, lab techs and so forth.
The retiring baby boom is expected to account for more than half of the openings in the next decade, which will expand the skills demand across most fields, beyond the trades train-ing for the anticipated liquefied natural gas industry and other high-demand industrial areas such as truck driving. Wilkinson notes that of the ministry’s $1.9 billion budget, about 60 per cent goes into general post-secondary education, for introductory courses that students take when they are seeking a career path, through undergraduate studies to professions.
“So I think the idea that we’re going to somehow minimize or diminish funding in that general education, arts and science category is just not true,” he said.
Key to this shift is measuring the performance of courses offered at colleges, universities and technical schools. Each year, the ministry surveys about 30,000 graduates to find out whether their studies helped them find a related job.
The results are available on a website that breaks them out by institution and general study area. To find it, do a web search for “BC student outcomes” and select the “executive dash-board” to check the results for courses and schools in your region. The site provides charts showing the percentage of students who land relevant jobs. Not surprisingly, it tends to be higher for technical programs and lower for fine arts. It also shows grads’ average wages, a sobering but useful bit of information for high school students and their parents.

Post-secondary ‘re-engineering’
tom flEtchEr
On Wednesday I went to watch the first show of Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory pre-sented by Lakes Dis-trict Secondary School (LDSS).
I was really impressed by their production and it actually made me wish I were in high school again (well, not really my high school because I was a nerd and nobody
ever chose me for the soccer team. What I really meant is that I wish my high school had been that cool).
Usually when you watch high school produc-tions, the vocals or the performances tend to lack quality, or you simply accept a lower-quality show because these are not supposed to be professional productions. But with LDSS, you can actually for-get you are at a high school musical.
In fact, I heard about the great LDSS productions when I first moved to Burns Lake, so I knew they must have been doing something right.
For this particular performance, students had been practicing with the help of a German opera conductor (again, I really wish my high school had been this awesome). He not only helped students with their vocal techniques, but he also assisted with the production of their show. Him and Rayanne Charlie, LDSS drama instructor, were a powerful duo training these students. And trust me, it shows.
Not surprisingly, the characters did a really good job with their vocals as well as their performances. When one character was singing, the others kept focused, paying attention to what was going on at the scene and still acting accordingly. Actors were mindful and present throughout the entire show. In my opinion, one character really stood out - Charlie. I hon-estly thought he was a professional singer and actor (maybe he is, and if he isn’t, he should definitely consider it).
Their costumes alone were enough to make a lasting impression. I can only imagine how much time and effort it must have taken to produce all those Oompa Loompa outfits, not to mention their hair and make-up. To move objects on stage, girls in fairy costumes would gracefully move things around, adding a bit of magic to the show.
The scenarios had so many little details that it was almost impossible not to realize all the care and love put into this show. In the candy man’s station, for example, all the chocolate bars read ‘Willy Wonka.’ They didn’t just randomly pick up a chocolate bar. They also deco-rated the entire multi purpose room with paintings hanging from the ceiling and around the stage.
But what really made it a great show was not the stage decoration, the costumes, their vocal techniques or even their acting skills. What really created the magic world of Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory in Burns Lake that night was the energy of the students. You could feel their vibrant energy and excitement even before you heard their voices or saw their expressions. I am sure everybody in the audience went home a little bit more energized that night.
It’s a very positive thing that a high school in our area can put together of quality show such as this one. It’s great to see that students were so committed to this project and they wanted it to be the best it could be. Art can elevate someone’s spirit and it certainly contrib-utes to students’ self-esteem. And who knows, maybe some professional actors or singers will be discovered in one of these productions. So congratulations to LDSS’ students and staff. If you haven’t seen Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory yet, you can still check it out on Feb. 12 at 7 p.m. and Feb. 14 at 2 p.m.

It has been a slow process for the Chinook Commu-nity Forest project, but the board is now confident that harvesting should begin in the 2015/16 winter season.
Mayor Luke Strimbold explained that several steps are necessary to get a community forest operational, which sometimes could take longer than expected.
"The Chinook Community Forest board recog-nizes that the process has been slower than antici-pated, but we are making significant progress," said Strimbold. "There are tasks that the Ministry of For-est must carry out and there are tasks that the new community forest organization must complete."
Steven Zika, Chief Executive Officer of Hamp-ton Affiliates, agrees that the process has been slow. However, it still hasn't had a significant impact in the operations of Babine Forest Products.
"The unfortunate part of this going so slow is that the beneficiaries of that community forest could have been harvesting timber and creating jobs for their communities," said Zika. "We are hoping by next winter there's wood coming off the Chinook Community Forest because we are going to desper-ately need it going forward."
Greig Bethel, Public Affairs Officer for the Min-istry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Opera-tions, said it's not surprising that this process would take some time considering that there are six dif-ferent First Nations involved, and in addition to the proposed community forest, areas for First Nations’ woodland licences also needed to be identified.
"The Minister of Forests, Lands and Natural Re-source Operations has officially made the offer of the community forest, now the First Nations need to submit their plans to the ministry, in order for the community forest to become operational, which should happen this spring" said Bethel.
Karen Ogen, interim chair for the Chinook com-for board, said the board hopes to have their busi-ness plan signed off by mid February 2015; the management plan that is required for issuance of the license should be completed by March 1, 2015.
"This should give the Ministry of Forests Land and Natural Resources time to approve by April 15," she said. "The next step would be to identify blocks and complete the First Nations consultation and referral by July 31, 2015."
The Chinook Community Forest project started
when stakeholders at Hampton Affiliates were de-ciding whether or not to move forward with the rebuilding of the Babine Forest Products sawmill after the explosion in 2012.
One of the main concerns was the amount of tim-ber available to supply the mill. The stakeholders stated that, to justify a rebuild, enough timber in the Lakes timber supply area (TSA) needed to be available. The need for enough timber to supply the mill led to officials in the Regional District of Bulk-ley-Nechako, the village of Burns Lake and the six First Nations groups in Burns Lake to propose to the provincial government that a second commu-nity forest be added to the area.
The proposed community forest would be run with the same legal structure as the Burns Lake Community Forest, with an annual allowable cut of 150,000 cubic metres per year.
"The Chinook Community Forest is unique in many ways," said Strimbold. "It is currently the largest community forest in the province and it is the only community forest in the province to have a partnership between six First Nations (Burns Lake Band, Lake Babine Nation, Cheslatta Carrier Na-tion, Wet’suwet’en, Skin Tyee Nation and Nee Tahi Buhn Indian Band) and two local governments."
Strimbold said this community forest is a unique agreement not only locally, but provincially.
"This is the first time in history that we have a partnership between the six local First Nations and the two local governments," he said. "Forestry has been the economic driver for our community for decades and it will continue to support the success of local businesses in our community. This partner-ship will promote local decisions on the land base and support jobs for people that live here."

For Bernice Magee, president of the Burns Lake District and Com-munity Foundation, donating to the founda-tion is more than simply contributing to an orga-nization.
"It's an opportunity to leave a lasting legacy
for the community you have lived in," she said.
The Burns Lake and District Community Foundation provides the community with the opportunity to make a lasting charitable dona-tion to enhance organi-zations within the com-munity, focusing on education, arts, culture and youth. The founda-tion helps donors real-ize their philanthropic goals by matching their interests with commu-nity needs and find-ing innovative ways to make every donation
count.Founded in 2006, the
Burns Lake District and Community Founda-tion has given back ap-proximately $65,000 to the community over the years. In 2014, grants distributed totalled $24,685, benefiting or-ganizations such as the Lakes District Fall Fair, the Burns Lake Rotary Club, the Lakes District Arts Council, the Burns Lake Mountain Biking Association bike camp and Lakes District Sec-ondary School (LDSS) scholarships.
Since 2008, the foundation has also been funding the Paul Jean Scholarship, giv-ing more than $14,000 to help pay for tuition costs and post second-ary education for LDSS students.
The foundation in-vests people's donations into permanent endow-ment funds. Only the in-vestment income is dis-tributed, and the funds are retained to generate income for the future, explained Magee.
One of the many ways people can donate to the
Burns Lake District and Community Foundation is to include the foun-dation in their will. This provides an opportunity for people who do not have any beneficiaries or heirs, ensuring their money will go back to the community where they lived.
People can also do-nate by giving a one-time gift cash or pledge an amount over time, or by perpetuating the name of a friend or rela-tive through an in me-moriam gift.
All donations to the Burns Lake and District Community Foundation are charitable gifts for income tax purposes. Donor benefits enable people to maximize their tax, financial and estate planning benefits. It also enables people to direct their contribu-tions to charities they care for deeply, giving them a chance to im-pact their community in an ongoing basis.
The foundation ac-cepts one intake per year for organizations wishing to be funded. Watch for advertise-ments on Lakes District News for specific dates. For more information, contact Bernice Magee at 250-692-7081 or the Burns Lake village of-fice at 250-692-7587.

Lakes Animal Friendship Society was established in 2009 in Burns Lake and works with groups like the Canadian Animal Assistance Team to help lower-
income families have their pets spayed and neutered. The Burns Lake & District Community Foundation Society has donated more than $3500 to the Canadian
Animal Assistant team for their spay & neuter program. Hundreds of local cats and dogs have benefited from this program because of the financial aid
received from the Burns Lake & District Community Foundation Society.

Safe shovelling and driving from Burns Lake Community Forest
With the significant downfall of snow this winter, Burns Lake Community Forest Ltd. would like to remind everyone to practice safe shovelling techniques:
• Wear proper clothing and footwear, take frequent breaks, and drink plenty of water;• Avoid caffeine, nicotine, and large meals;• Warm up first and start at a slow pace; • Always try to push rather than lift snow, using a snow scoop when possible, and face forward without twisting;• Consider hiring a student to help out;• While snow shovelling can be good exercise, excessive snowfalls can raise the risk of injuries and heart attacks;
And remember to drive to winter conditions. Use winter tires, sand bags and whatever else is at your disposal to get more traction!

controls."Machine control and automation are the biggest difference in this new mill," said Gray. "The majority
of lumber that goes through the mill will never be physically touched by a person."The automation not only makes work easier and safer for workers, but it also improves efficiency and
production."The mill is designed to be able to be successful running lower capacities," explained Gray. "The ma-
chines are designed to get the maximum value for every piece of lumber that is coming out of the log."Another major difference between the old and the new mill is how the cleanup is done. Scrappers and
conveyors swap the floor of the new mill, constantly removing pieces of broken wood. This eliminates the need of manual labour almost entirely.
"The new mill almost cleans up itself," said Zika.Scraper conveyors were constructed under all log decks, lumber decks, the trimmer infeed and outfeed,
the stacker and the sorter to ensure those areas are clear of debris throughout hours of operation."Now we don't have debris on the floor or on the walkways," said Gray. "When the maintenance crew
has to work, the area is clean for them, and fire hazard is reduced."Zika said that since the incident at Babine Forest Products, as well as the incident at Lakeland sawmill in
Prince George in 2012, the entire industry has invested millions of dollars into new dust removal systems.At Babine Forest Products, new dust extraction systems are designed to capture and collect dust and
debris at its source. The systems pull dust and debris from all cutting centres, conveyors and screens throughout the facility. The new mill also has an industrial vacuum system that works much like a central vacuum system in a house.
"It's unfortunate we had to go through the accident, but it has made the whole industry safer," said Zika.Although the planer was not affected by the fire in 2012, the facility has also received some upgrades.
Among the improvements, conveyors were modified to reduce wood debris and dust, and the dust extrac-tion ducting was also upgraded.
Approximately 120 direct employees were rehired for the new mill. However, employees needed to be retrained since the new sawmill relies heavily on computer systems.
"What we have now is a more highly skilled workforce because people have to be computer savvy, ver-sus the old days and the industry of the burly person carrying lumber all over," said Zika.
The vast majority of employees are local, with 95 per cent of them living in the Burns Lake area. Having a reliable workforce in the area was one of the reasons that helped Hampton Affiliates decide to
rebuild the mill, according to Zika."In our industry there is a looming shortage of workers," he said. "The whole industry is worried about
it and trying to find workers, but we have a good workforce here." According to Zika, now that employees are used to the new equipment and computer systems, produc-
tion has also started to speed up."We're learning things as we go and we've made some good progress over the last couple of months," he
said. "We feel good about the future.""Employees are feeling more comfortable now," added Gray.When it comes to the future, Gray was confident to express their vision for the company."We want to be a community mill," he said. "We need the help of the community, and we want to be
mills that our employees are proud to work at and feel safe coming to work every day."

The Wet’suwet’en hereditary chiefs have written to the provincial and federal governments express-ing their disapproval of natural gas pipeline agree-ments within their traditional territory.
In a Feb. 4 press release, hereditary chiefs said the provincial government has been making pipe-line deals without their consent with band councils within the Wet’suwet’en traditional territory. He-reditary chiefs claim they have proper rights and title holder jurisdiction over Wet’suwet’en lands.
"It was a shock to the Wet’suwet’en hereditary chiefs, upon reviewing B.C.’s natural gas pipe-line agreements, that the agreements are replete with numerous terms and conditions related to Wet’suwet’en rights and title," read the press re-lease. "Even more disturbing is that in face-to-face meetings and community forums, B.C. ministers and officials misrepresented these [LNG] agree-ments as exclusively economic agreements, with nothing to do with Wet’suwet’en rights and title interests whatsoever."
The hereditary chiefs claim that B.C. has been engaging in sharp dealings including "divide and conquer tactics" within the Wet’suwet’en Nation.
"This is bad faith on the part of B.C., and the epitome of sharp dealings, that clearly brings the honour and integrity of the Crown into disrepute."
In 1984, the Wet’suwet’en hereditary chiefs be-gan a court action on behalf of all Wet’suwet’en people claiming their self-government and title ownership over their traditional territory. The court action became known as the Delgamuukw-Gisday’wa case.
On Dec. 11, 1997, the Supreme Court of Canada ruled that Wet’suwet’en rights and title have never been extinguished, and that Aboriginal title in-cludes the right to exclusively use and occupy their land.
"This decision cemented the fact that Aborigi-nal title includes the right to determine the uses to which title lands can be put, as well as the need for the Crown and proponents to seek our consent for major resource developments on our lands," read the press release. "The Wet’suwet’en hereditary chiefs have not consented to Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) development on our Wet’suwet’en lands."
"British Columbia and Canada have a moral and legal obligation to consult, engage and obtain free, prior and informed consent from our traditional governance leadership and that our governance structure be acknowl-edged and respected," read the press release. "The divide and con-quer tactics of B.C. must cease between Indian band leader-ship and the hereditary chiefs. We once again express that we, the hereditary chiefs be consulted as the proper rights and title holders."

We’re half way through winter and Burns Lake has had a few significant snowfalls. Snow is accumulated on most rooftops, and while it gives the town a ro-mantic look, snow on a roof can actually cause several problems.
According to the National Research Council Canada (NRC), if you’re con-cerned about the weight of snowfall on a roof, look and listen for signs of stress. These signs can include unusual sounds from the roof or supporting walls, visible movement of walls or sagging of ceiling and cracking of drywall or plaster. Other signs may include doors that jam or water leaks that show up after a big snow fall.
The configuration of your roof could be a factor, according to NRC. Pay special at-tention to areas on your roof where local snow accumulation occurs on a portion of a roof; for example, near dormers, valleys or on shed roofs. Roofs with a low slope or roofs covered with rough roofing ma-terial tend to accumulate more snow than steeper pitches or slippery roof finishes.
Here is a quick rule of thumb to help
you if you are concerned. S (inches of snow on the roof) times
1.25 (weight of one sq. ft. of snow for each inch of depth) equals P (pounds per square foot). Example: if the snow on my roof is 20-inches deep, 20-inch roof snow depth times 1.25 lbs./sq. equals 25 lbs. per sq. ft. of roof snow load. In this example, the roof will be okay.
Until recently, manufactured homes were designed for a roof snow load of 30 lbs./sq. ft. Look at the certification label (a metal label affixed to the manufactured
home) to verify your design roof snow load.
According to NRC, you should never clear a roof yourself. Instead, opt for a qualified and insured snow removal com-pany. Where the roof is accessible from the ground, you can reduce some load by using a snow rake to safely pull the snow off the roof from ground level, but even then you need to be careful. For more in-formation, contact the building inspection department of the Regional District of Bulkley Nechako at 250-692-3195.

Establishing a Biblical Church
(B.C. contact) [email protected] 1-250-961-1100 or (GRC office, WA) 1-509-758-0223
Grace Reformed Church, (a Baptist church located in Clarkston, WA), seeks to assist in establishing New Testament churches in places where there are Christians desiring to worship and serve God in a biblical manner. Reformed Baptist Churches are a group of in-dependent local congregations committed to historic Christianity as revealed in the Bible. Who Are We? We are Christians seeking to live every part of our lives biblically. That means we acknowledge the supreme authority of Holy Scrip-ture in all matters of Faith (what we believe), and Practice (how we behave). Our sole authority is God’s Word. If a church introduces anything, either in faith or practice, that is contrary to the Bible then no matter who pleads for it, or what clever arguments are pro-duced in its favour, it ceases to be a biblical church. What Do We Believe? The most important thing that determines a biblical church is what they believe the Bible says and do they seek to obey it? (Isa.8:20) We believe the Bible is Sufficient and Authoritative (2 Tim.3:16,17) Sufficient means there is no need of anything else in matters of sal-vation. Authoritative means that where the Bible speaks on any matter, what it says is absolutely true and we must submit to it. We believe the Preaching and Teaching of the Bible is central in Church life. (1 Cor.1:18-21) Many things ought to be part of the local church, such as; good fel-lowship for Christians, helping the poor, and missionary / evange-listic efforts. But the fountain of all these things is the faithful proc-lamation of the Bible that teaches us what to do and how to do it.
We believe in the Sovereign Grace of God (Eph.2:8-10; Rom.8:28-30) God is not only sovereign in a general way, but especially in salva-tion. Salvation is only by grace and it is God who gives us both the willingness and ability to repent and put our faith in Jesus Christ, Who suffered the wrath of God in the place of sinners. We believe the Church should be a Spiritual Family which truly cares about the spiritual welfare of its members. (1 Thess.5:12-14) Being a member of a local church is a covenant commitment to the Lord and to the other members. It means a willingness to be open, to be humble, and to undertake the responsibilities of ministering to each other. We believe the Policies, Practices, and Worship of the church should be ordered by the Bible. (1 Tim.3:15) The church must be biblical in every policy and practice. That means worship must be for the GLORY of God, not the feelings of the worshippers, and it must never be influenced by the world. God takes worship seriously and so should we. But serious does not mean ‘dry’ or ‘dead’. Worship is to be joyful as well. God is HOLY and greatly to be praised. There should be a sense of awe in our hearts when we worship God. Casual, informal and worldly wor-ship to please ourselves rather than obey God is self-idolatry! True worship is what God commands and what He enjoys because it pro-duces humility and gratitude in our hearts, and trust in the Lord. As Christians concerned about these issues, we are prayerfully con-sidering establishing such a church in the area. If these truths reso-nate in your heart, or if you have questions, or simply would like more information, please contact:
on Saturday, February 14th
at the First Mennonite Church

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21: Taurus, state your case carefully when you attempt to get your point across at work. Others will appreciate your thoughtful approach and respond positively.

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22: Virgo, you work best when you have a plan in place. While you are not usually appreciative of surprises, this week you are willing to be a little more flexible.
LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23: A disagreement at work has you unsure about what side to sup-port, Libra. Stay neutral for the time being until you can get a better grasp of the situation.
