WALTER STRONG

The Burns Lake Band (BLB) continues to find itself internally divided by a conflict that shows no sign of a short-term resolu-tion. Chief Albert Gerow, recently re-elected for a second two-year term, has been facing an increasingly dissatisfied group of BLB on-reserve band members.

Ron Charlie, elected as a BLB councillor in the last election for the first time, called for the resignation of Gerow and counc. Dan George on Feb. 5, 2013, cit-ing a lack of transparency, and a general disregard for

on-reserve concerns and aspirations. He was sup-ported in person by ap-proximately 20 band mem-bers, including former BLB Chief Robert Charlie.

Two more peaceful protests followed, but on March 25, things turned ugly.

Early on that Monday morning, protesters gath-ered at the BLB offices to stage another protest.

“Last week we decided that enough was enough,” said Ryan Tibbetts, who ran against Gerow in the last election. “The band members decided that they needed to support Ron and

they needed to start being heard.”

The protesters put up posters and nailed boards across the BLB office doors. A video captured a physical altercation that morning between Tibbetts and George. The video was posted to the facebook page ‘Respect Project - BLB’ and later removed. The incident was referred to the RCMP.

Tibbetts spoke for the protesters. He said that counc. Charlie has been denied access to financial documents, that he has been excluded from BLB council deliberations and planning, and he has been

threatened because of his vocal opposition Gerow and George.

“In our minds, they [Ge-row and George] are not representing us,” said Tib-betts. “Ron is trying to rep-resent the on-reserve band members but he’s totally ignored.”

Gerow does not agree with Tibbetts’ assessment of the situation. He said that counc. Charlie has had many opportunities to engage with band council, but he has not acted upon them.

Every Canadian of a certain age remembers the day the Exxon Valdez ran aground in Prince William Sound, Alaska. It was a tragic day and one which marked a turning point for marine shipping along British Columbia’s coastline.

Following the Exxon spill, the marine shipping industry in Canada and worldwide began to rethink virtually every aspect of its business. It wasn’t easy. But it was absolutely necessary. And looking back 24 years later, the industry has taken great strides to ensure another catastrophic spill never happens again.

Nowhere is our progress more evident than in the way we are approaching the Northern Gateway Pipeline. The standards it will be built and operated to far exceed anything ever contemplated a generation ago.

Like similar facilities in Norway and Scotland, every tanker calling on Northern Gateway’s marine terminal will be double-hulled, and adhere to stringent standards. That means no tankers older than 20 years will be allowed to operate. It means every tanker must carry the most advanced navigational technology and be crewed by only the most highly

trained professionals. And it means that laden tankers will have two tugs escorting them, one tethered.

Our goal: to reduce the risk of a spill to as close to zero as possible. And if a spill does occur, our tug escorts will provide immediate fi rst response to minimize the impact on the environment while our full emergency response is quickly brought to bear. Our response program will greatly enhance safety for all marine traffi c on B.C.’s north coast.

We hope all Canadians recognize that the Exxon Valdez spill resulted in real and lasting change. For Canada’s oil marine shipping industry, the events of that day 24 years ago marked a moment of profound change. As a result, British Columbians can benefi t from the enormous economic opportunity our industry generates, while being confi dent that our environment is protected.

WALTER STRONG

During budget 2013 deliberations, the Village of Burns Lake had to de-cide whether to purchase $9600 worth of carbon credits from a fund like the Pacific Carbon Trust (PCT) in order to offset its corporate municipal carbon emissions, or to earmark the money for later use on a specific carbon reduction project within the municipality.

It is a cash-penalty ap-proach to carbon neutral-ity in which emitters pay a per-tonne cash price for ‘credit’ with a broker who then uses the money to finance carbon reduc-tion efforts elsewhere.

Council decided to keep the money in house. One of the reasons cited for council’s decision was that a cheque writ-ten to PCT is taxpayer money that would never find its way back into the community.

A report released to-day by the Office of the Auditor General of Brit-ish Columbia into the province’s carbon neu-tral government program suggests that the Village of Burns Lake was not alone in its concerns for how and where carbon-offset dollars are spent.

B.C.'s carbon neutral government initiative has been controversial since it was launched as part of former premier Gordon Campbell's cli-mate change program in 2008. Provincial and lo-cal governments, health authorities and school districts were required to buy carbon offset credits equal to the greenhouse gas emissions from their buildings and vehicles, with the money invested in carbon-reducing proj-ects.

According to the Ca-

nadian Taxpayers' Fed-eration, B.C. universities paid $4.46 million into the PCT in 2011. B.C.'s 60 school districts paid a total of $5.36 million the same year, and the prov-ince's six health authori-ties paid $5.79 million.

In his report, Auditor General John Doyle con-cluded that two carbon capture projects that were the largest beneficiaries of B.C.'s multi-million-dollar carbon neutral program did not provide credible carbon offsets for emissions from gov-ernment operations.

The report looked into the carbon off-sets purchased during 2010. It found that at least seventy per cent of those purchases ‘were not credible’ in the con-text of carbon emission reduction.

Doyle’s negative as-sessment of the credibil-ity of the entire program included the troubling findings that some of the companies that re-ceived money from the fund, received money for projects they would have done anyway.

"In industry terms, these projects would be known as 'free riders'," said Doyle. "Together, they received $6 million in revenue for something that would have hap-pened anyway."

The province, which caused some consterna-tion earlier in the week by delaying the release of the report despite wide-spread leaks to some media and members of the legislative assembly, categorically rejected Doyle’s conclusions.

Environment Minis-

ter Terry Lake said the government ‘fundamen-tally rejects’ Doyle's conclusions, and stands by eight outside experts who were called on to validate the carbon off-set investments.

“We’ve got an auditor without a similar level of expertise [to the outside experts] passing judg-ment on these offsets that were in fact verified by these third party inde-pendent auditors. You’ve got one organization, in this case the office of the auditor general saying one thing, and eight oth-ers with expertise in the field saying something else,” said Lake. “I leave it to you and to the pub-lic to judge who can best tell whether these offsets are credible.”

in working with us,” said Gerow.Gerow repeated what he said after the ini-

tial demand for his resignation last month: the Burns Lake Band conducts weekly staff and council meetings, holds regular public band meetings, and discloses BLB project planning and financial dealings.

As reported by the Lakes District News on Feb. 13, 2013, the Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development Canada (AANDC) funding service officer for BLB reported that no financial or program irregularities had been found during Gerow’s previous term as band chief.

According to Gerow, counc. Charlie has

access to financial records as part of his elected position.

“When we hold our monthly financial meetings, our financial officer gives finan-cial reports,” said Gerow.

For Gerow, if counc. Charlie is unaware of what council is doing, it is because he excludes himself from council meetings. Gerow referred to Charlie’s absence from BLB offices to explain the threat that Tib-betts was referring to. Gerow said that the threat concerned Charlie’s employment with the band on two separate portfolios.

Tibbetts said the matter has been referred to a special investigator with AANDC. Comment from AANDC was unavailable at press time.

If previous comments from AANDC are any indication, the existence of a peti-tion calling for the removal of Gerow and George cannot in itself serve as grounds for a new election.

In 2010, a protest and petition were or-ganized calling for the resignation of BLB council, including Gerow and George. At the time, an AANDC spokesperson said that an elected council cannot be removed by a petition.

Both sides are now represented by law-yers. Despite the intransigence of the pro-tester’s position, Gerow remains hopeful that a peaceful resolution may be found.

Burns Lake Band offices were closed for the remainder of the week.

Will lawyers resolve impasse?

The provincial Liberal party can’t catch a break. It’s been a while since the start of the work-week didn’t begin with the Liberals finding themselves at the centre of a fresh controversy.

Among the most recent: back-tracking on for-est-tenure reform, controversy surrounding the proposed Wood Innovation and Design Centre in Prince George, the ethnic vote debacle, and most recently, the province’s auditor general report into the Pacific Carbon Trust and the carbon credit scheme.

Without trying to defend the province, it does seem fair to say that some of the recent ‘scandals’ are the result of being the governing party. As the

expression goes, you have to break a few eggs to make an omelette, so the governing Liberals are going to make enemies and face criticism no matter where they fall on an issue or what decision they might make.

The NDP, B.C. Conservatives, and independent MLAs have the luxury of not having to worry about how their own policy implications would play out in the real world.

But last week’s furor surrounding carbon credits took things to a new level.There was a palpable build-up of tension before the release of the report as

the province first announced that the report would arrive, and then delayed its release despite early leaks of the document.

It appeared that there was something in the report that either the province or the Pacific Carbon Trust wasn’t ready to handle. Well, there was and they weren’t ready to handle it. In unequivocal terms, auditor general John Doyle described the provincial carbon credit program as lacking fundamental cred-ibility.

Minister Terry Lake, speaking to media after the release of the report, was forced into the position of completely rejecting the findings of the auditor general. Citing eight independent auditing bodies (without naming them), he could only call into question Doyle’s expertise in the area.

“Who audits the auditor general?” Lake asked.That was a real low point for the province. It was a flippant comment sug-

gesting that Doyle lacks the ability and resources to examine the carbon credit program.

Saying that the province’s office of the auditor general is unable to cast a critical eye over the Pacific Carbon Trust because it lacks the expertise to understand it, is insulting.

Doyle wasn’t commenting on outlying theories of particle physics. He was commenting on a business model funded, essentially, by provincial, municipal and regional dollars. That is exactly his job and his expertise.

If Doyle and his office are not qualified to reach critical conclusions regard-ing the Pacific Carbon Trust, then where does that leave us? Lake is suggesting that we should just take ‘international’ audit experts at their word.

No thanks. So who audits the auditor general? That’s a fair question. We all audit his

findings, but it comes in the form of a vote, not in the form of a churlish rhetori-cal question that slanders a perfectly capable and highly respected civil servant.

Stretching credibilityWALTER STRONG

Greenhouse gas leaks from trustTOM FLETCHER

The Pacific Carbon Trust orchestrated a months-long campaign of calls and letters to discredit a report from B.C.’s Auditor General on its first two big carbon offset projects, before it could be released.

Just as the audit report was about to be made pub-lic, the trust, a Crown cor-poration created at taxpayer expense, participated in the leaking of selected critical

letters to media outlets.Then the Speaker of the B.C. legislature, Bill Bari-

soff, made a final, clumsy effort to delay the release of the report.

As soon as it was out, Environment Minister Terry Lake tried to discredit it, by blustering about all the highly paid experts who swore up and down that a forest reserve near Kootenay Lake, and a gas flaring reduction project near Fort Nelson, were bona fide car-bon offsets worth $6 million of taxpayers’ money.

The audit states in plain language, with charts and timelines, that the $6 million was basically given away for nothing. I look forward to further audits on this car-bon offset scheme, assuming it survives after the May election, because these two projects aren’t the only boondoggles.

The Pacific Carbon Trust was set up in 2008 as part of former premier Gordon Campbell’s climate change program. To make the B.C. government’s operations “carbon neutral,” the government and all of its agencies were required to pay the trust $25 per tonne for their carbon dioxide emissions from fuel use.

In 2011 alone, B.C. universities paid $4.46 million to the trust. B.C.’s 60 school districts paid a total of $5.36 million the same year, and the province’s six health au-thorities paid $5.79 million. The money is supposed to go to projects that capture carbon, thus “offsetting” the heating of schools, the fuel burned by ambulances and

so forth.The 55,000-hectare forest reserve is known as Dark-

woods. The audit shows that the Nature Conservancy of Canada decided in 2006 to buy it, using $25 million of federal taxpayers’ money. The deal closed in 2008, the same year the Pacific Carbon Trust was formed.

From 2008 to 2010, the trust bought 450,000 tonnes of carbon offset, based on independent evaluations that all rested on the assumption that Darkwoods would be clear-cut logged.

Since the forest was already owned by Canada’s leading conservancy, this assumption makes no sense. Was the conservancy going to log it, or flip it to some-one who would, after accepting $25 million in tax money to acquire it? Legally, it could not.

(I would add that the assumption that logging re-leases all of the carbon in a forest is also false. Lumber actually sequesters carbon for longer than trees, which eventually die and rot.)

The audit found a similar case against EnCana’s flare reduction program, which the company used on many wells before the trust started offering money. EnCana was saving money as well as reducing emissions with-out collecting offsets. Therefore, the audit concluded, neither of these projects was a credible offset because the emissions savings would have occurred anyway.

Here’s the next Pacific Carbon Trust project that should be audited. In a complicated transaction, the trust bought offsets from something called the Great Bear Carbon Credit Limited Partnership. Yes, this is the world-famous forest on B.C.’s North Coast that was subject to a preservation deal hammered out between the Coastal First Nations, the B.C. government and three U.S.-backed environmental groups.

That was in 2006. The offset purchases were in 2009 and 2010, years after detailed preservation areas were mapped and codified in law.

Again, the trust paid for forest that was already pre-served.

A community open house was held on March 27, 2013, at the Burns Lake Heritage Centre to reveal the design plans for the long anticipated new Lakes District hospital in Burns Lake. Michael McMillan, Northern Health chief operating officer, spoke first at the public unveiling of architectural drawings of the new facility.

“The goal is to be on site in May, and digging by June,” said McMillan.

PCL Constructors Inc. (PCL) was selected as the preferred pro-ponent on March 12, 2013. PCL is Canada’s largest contracting company. The 100 per cent Canadian-owned company’s North American headquarters are in Edmonton, Alberta, but PCL does work on an international scale and has built 48 major medical fa-cilities world-wide.

PCL Vice President and District Manager for B.C., Sean Brock, told the assembled crowd of about 25 that PCL strives to hire lo-cally as much as possible, where ever a project is found.

“When we built the Prince George cancer centre we needed 50 carpentry and masonry labours,” he said. “Forty-eight of them we hired locally, and two guys were brought up from the coast as su-pervisors.”

The existing hospital will remain operational throughout the construction process. The new facility represents a $55 million in-

vestment in Burns Lake. It will have 16 hospital beds in private rooms, each with a window view. It will provide acute care, emer-gency services, diagnostic imaging, a laboratory and a pharmacy.

“It’s been a long road,” said Nechako Lakes MLA John Rustad. “This will be a modern facility, one that everyone can be proud of not just in Burns Lake but across the north.”

Rustad said that there are approximately $2.3 billion worth of health care projects currently underway across the province.

Patients are anticipated to be moved in sometime in the Fall of 2015.

For Ralph Roy, Stuart Nechako Regional Hospital District chair, it has been a long time in coming.

“My wife delivered our daughter 41 years ago in Burns Lake,” said Roy. “The nurse on duty said, I can’t wait for a new hospital. Well here it is.”

Burns Lake Mayor Luke Strimbold expressed his satisfaction that a project of this size is about to get underway in Burns Lake. For him, the project represents an investment in the future of the Lakes District and will encourage young families to remain in the area.

“It is exciting as a recently elected mayor and as a young per-son,” said Strimbold. “When is the last time there was a $55 mil-lion investment in Burns Lake for health care? This is a reassur-ance for our community and for what the future holds.”

Editor:I pray, work and pay my taxes.

I feel like I am as equal as your-self but yet when it comes to our local RCMP I am not treated as a equal. An incident happened and the RCMP where contacted and they asked me for a statement,

which I gladly gave. The woman in question is be-

ing charged with assault and I stated that she also took my cell phone. The officers response to me is that "We don't have time for something as petty as a stolen cell phone." I thought to myself

isn't that identity theft? I wanted to share my story to

see if there are others being treat-ed as I have.

They say call 911 in an emer-gency, how? When I no longer have a cell phone.

Terry-lynn Peterson

Editor: Headlines have mistakenly suggested that

common-law couples are now “married” un-der B.C.’s new Family Law Act. This is not true.

I want to make it very clear: the new fam-ily law is not about forcing unmarried couples into getting married.

When it comes to the law’s property divi-sion rules, it’s about providing fair rules for couples who split up – and ensuring that those rules are crystal clear at the onset of a rela-tionship.

The new family law’s model is fair: you keep what’s yours, but you share what you ac-crued together as a couple.

This means that property brought into a relationship, and certain property you might receive during your relationship, such as in-heritances or gifts, are generally not divided upon separation, regardless of whether you are married or not. Only property and debt that a couple accrues together during their re-lationship is dividable.

This is similar to many other Canadian ju-risdictions.

Under the outdated Family Relations Act, property division provisions only applied to

married couples. A common-law couple could live together 20-plus years, and when they broke up the property would stay with whoev-er's name it was in. It would not be considered joint property and divided in half, as would be the case for married couples. This resulted in complex legal cases and often great unfair-ness, usually to women, as the property was more often in the man's name.

Today common-law couples have the free-dom to opt-out of the property division rules by written agreement.

The agreement will allow them to divide their property as they see fit, with limited ability for the court to overturn the agreement.

It is important to note that under existing law, common-law couples are already subject to many of the same laws as married couples, such as those around income tax and wills and estates. Also, under the old Family Relations Act, common-law couples could seek spousal support.

The new Family Law Act replaces outdated legislation passed in the 1970s, and addresses the needs of modern B.C. families and shifts in societal norms.

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.

Thank youA heartfelt thank you to Dr. Annandale

and the nursing staff at the Lakes District hospital who gave our husband and father

Richard Clare such great and compassionate care while he was a patient there.

A big thank you to everyone who sent cards and flowers. Also to everyone who phoned

and brought food to the house, your caring support during such a difficult time was

very much appreciated.

The Burns Lake Community Forest Ltd. (BLCF) board held a regular public meeting on March 27, 2013.

Resource negotiations with PTP

Clearing for the Pacific Trails Pipeline (PTP) right-of-way within the boundaries of the Burns Lake Community For-est (BLCF) is expected to begin soon.

Burns Lake Community For-est Ltd. is negotiating a resource utilization agreement regarding timber use and road building. This season, PTP will remove approximately 1200 m3 of tim-

ber volume from within the com-munity forest.

Part of the agreement be-ing negotiated is that the timber will be harvested and stacked by PTP for BLCF at no charge. The timber will then be sold by BLCF at a healthy margin since the harvesting was taken care of by PTP. Additional details of the agreement include road use and road upgrade agreements which should be beneficial to BLCF.

A drawback for the com-munity forest with the planned PTP project fibre harvest is, as an area-based tenure, the timber volume lost to PTP is lost for the lifetime of the pipeline.

The Burns Lake Community

Forest does not have much to say, at this point, when it comes to PTP passing through the com-munity forest. National Energy Board regulations allow for the right-of-way even if BLCF were to oppose the pipeline.

The resource agreement being negotiated sets the framework for compensation and cooperation regarding certain aspects of the pipeline work, like road building, road maintenance, and road reha-bilitation.

“We need to sign an agreement with them [PTP] in order to be compensated for the wood they are going to harvest,” said Ron Zayac, interim BLCF manager.

CANADIAN MOOSE HOCKEYThe Canadian Moose Travelling Hockey Team returned from Denmark last month. Eight current and former Burns Lake woman were on the team that played friendly games against various levels of competition. The only regret on the trip was not enough time.

...From page 8

“If we don’t sign an agreement and they proceed, we won’t be compen-sated [for anything]. This is the right thing to do for the Burns Lake Com-munity Forest.”

In a cover letter addressed to PTP regarding the resource utilization agreement, PTP was urged ‘to settle all First Nations concerns prior to be-ginning operations within the Nadina Forest District’.

Visual quality objectives to be re-viewed

As part of a 10 year planning ho-rizon, BLCF has contracted two lo-cal forestry companies (the only two qualified local companies on the BLCF shortlist: DWB Consulting Ser-vices Ltd. and Free Growing Forestry Ltd.) to do comprehensive surveys of the community forest.

Part of the reasoning behind the decision is to put BLCF ahead of the game when it comes to timber layout. If BLCF can be consistently two years ahead of the current year’s layout, then it can react better to changing market conditions or other contingencies.

As part of the comprehensive sur-veys, a number of landbase con-straints will be looked at, including

visual quality objectives (VQO).“The Burns Lake community for-

est is one of the most dramatically impacted by VQO constraints,” said Zayac, because of its proximity to scenic lakes and highways.

Zayac added that with the province reentering its Local Resource Use Plan process in the Lakes District, BLCF needs to be ready to look closely at visual and other landbase constraints.

Less burning, more chippingLogging has mostly wrapped up for

the season, but chipping continues for as long as logging roads can handle the traffic. The large chip pile visible along Hwy. 37 is courtesy of moun-tain pine beetle killed pine that would otherwise slowly go to waste.

Although the grinding doesn’t rep-resent a reduction of roadside waste-wood burning - biomass stands are being utilized, not roadside waste - they do represent newly plantable land that, once planted, ensures the health of future community forest al-lowable harvest levels.

Board member, Susan Schienbein, mentioned that she would like to see provincial policies in place to encourage grinding roadside slash piles. The cur-rent policy of burning those slash piles only contributes to air quality problems.

Clearance certi� cateAs the legal representative for a deceased person, you may want to get a clearance

certi� cate before you distribute any property under your control. A clearance certi� cate certi� es that all amounts for which the deceased is liable to us have been paid, or that we have accepted security for the payment. If you do not get a clearance certi� cate, you can be liable for any amount the deceased owes. A clearance certi� cate covers all tax years to the date of death. It is not a clearance for any amounts a trust owes. If there is a trust, a separate clearance certi� cate is needed for the trust.

To request a certi� cate, complete Form TX19, Asking for a Clearance Certi� cate, and send it to the assistant director, Audit, at your tax services of� ce. Do not include Form TX19 with a return. Send it only after you have received the notices of assessment for all the returns required to be � led and paid or secured all amounts owing.

In addition to the Form TX19, the following should also be sent to CRA, with the TX19: • a copy of the will, including any codicils, renunciations, disclaimers, and all probate documents.; • a copy of the trust document for inter vivos trusts; • a statement showing the list of assets and distribution plan, including a description of each asset, adjusted cost base, and the fair market value at the date of death and at the date of distribution, if not at the same time. Also include the names, addresses, and social insurance numbers or account numbers of the recipients and his or her relationship to the deceased. If a statement of properties has been prepared for a probate court, we will usually accept a copy, and a list of any properties that the deceased owned before death and that passed directly to bene� ciaries; • any other documents that are necessary to prove that you are the legal representative; and • a letter of authorization that you have signed if you want us to communicate with any other person or � rm, or you want the clearance certi� cate sent to any address other than your own.

Burns Lake recently hosted an introductory ses-sion of the Aboriginal Forestry Initiative (AFI). The program is a federally funded undertaking that aims to increase the involvement of First Na-tions in the forest industry by pooling the resourc-es of the Canadian Forest Service, Natural Re-sources Canada and 15 other federal departments and agencies.

In Northern B.C., the program is being admin-istered by the Prince George Nechako Aborigi-nal Employment and Training Association (PG-NAETA). The goal of the program, according to program coordinator, Bruce Morin, is to connect people with entrepreneurial aspirations to a net-work of government and industry partners.

“We form a relationship with people who want to explore small business opportunities in the nat-ural resource sectors,” Morin said. “We provide direction. We let people know what’s available and provide them with the direction they need.”

An upcoming workshop in Vanderhoof (date still to be determined) will be the last of four in-troductory sessions held in the region. Workshops where previously held in Burns Lake, Fort St. James and Prince George.

“Many people have really good ideas, but they run into quite a few obstacles,” Morin said of his workshop in Burns Lake last month. “We’re trying to teach people how to clear those hurdles.”

First Nations are the program’s target group, but the AFI isn’t exclusive to First Nations.

“I’ve never been one to turn anyone down who comes through the door looking for assistance,” said Morin.

Western Finance in the Lakeview Mall.

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, some conflicting signals from a friend this week might seem like trouble is ahead. But it’s more likely that your perception of the situation is a little off.

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21Taurus, your imagination has a life of its own this week. You may be thinking of living on the edge a little bit in the next few days but don’t overdo it.

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, avoid a deep discussion about your feelings with someone at work this week. Now is not the time or the place to share any-thing personal, so keep it professional.

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, don’t get sidetracked this week because co-workers are expecting your full attention and effort at the office. You may need to juggle a few responsibilities for the time being.

LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, make sure you comments are not misinterpreted this week. Someone might take something the wrong way, so choose your words carefully.

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, you may be feeling great physically, but there is a nagging problem that you simply cannot identify. Give it time and it will come to the surface.

LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, you know what you want and do not need anyone’s approval, but you can’t help checking in with a family member this week to get a second opinion.

SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, channel your ro-mantic feelings into action this week. Act sooner rather than later and make the most of your emotions while they’re strong.

SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, learn from the past but do not allow letdowns from the past to dictate your future. There is no guarantee that things will be repeated.

CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, write things down this week before you say them to be sure you have everything correct. This will help you when you need to make an important announcement.

AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, you may feel like escaping to a fantasy world, but that does not mean the pressing matters will simply disappear. A va-cation may recharge your batteries.

PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20 You are in much better shape than you think you are, Pisces. So don’t be too hard on yourself this week. It is alright to put your feet up.

Theft of Virtual XBox Goods Theft of virtual goods is hardly a new phenomenon, but recent events centering around the hit XBox 360 soccer title FIFA has had a lot of gamers keeping a closer eye on their credit cards. One such case happened in Toronto just this week, when a young boy’s FIFA 13 Ultimate account was stolen, and his mother’s credit card was charged over $300 for purchases made under his account on the Xbox Live store. Unfortunately there is little most people can do about these account hijackings until Microsoft closes certain loopholes in its account recovery protocols. However, you can protect yourself from unexpected charges by removing your credit card information from your XBox Live Account after making a purchase, or by using prepaid Microsoft Points Cards for online purchases.

In Memoriam

IN LOVING MEMORYJean Katherine

ReynoldsAug. 5, 1925 - Apr. 7, 2008

Mum on a winter’s day, Milked the cows and

fed them hay. Gathered the eggs and

cleaned them too, Got kids ready, and

off to school.Swept the kitchen and made

the beds, Baked a dozen loaves

of bread. Did the washing and mopped

the fl oors, Dusted the trinkets and did

more chores. Split some fi rewood and

lugged it in, Enough to fi ll the kitchen bin.

Cleaned the lamps andput in oil,

Stewed some apples, she thought would spoil.

Folded a heaping basketof clothes,

Mended ones, if theyhad holes.

Cooked a supper, that was delicious,

And afterwards washed up the dishes.

Then shuffl ed the cards, and began to play,

As came the end of aperfect day.

Love always Mary, Marleen, Colleen & Jack

Mr. LaurieRay Cerenzie

May 27, 1955 – December 11, 2012

On May 27th 1955, in High Prairie Alberta, Laurie was born into the arms of Jean and Al Cerenzie.He came from a very modest background and was the fi rst of nine children to begin fi lling the Cerenzie home with laugh-ter, mischief, and at times,chaos.As a boy, Laurie was master-

ful at leading his younger brothers into some dangerous situ-ations with bows and arrows being shot straight into the air while they waited. Heads ducked, with or without a garbage can lid held over them, as the arrows whizzed past them, vio-lently stabbing the ground around their feet. Then there was the time they all lost their eyebrows and eyelashes... oh yes it was Laurie, with a gas can and the burn barrel; well as you can imagine, there was a wild explosion!! and everyone involved got a good licking with Dad’s belt. That lesson learned, they also played Cowboys and Indians, and Laurie of course was the Cowboy with the lasso! In one well told story, he caught one of his younger brothers around the neck, lifting his feet clear off the ground like a calf as Laurie hollered something from his fa-vorite Cowboy Comic Book. These stories have frequented our ears over the years, and each time bringing more uproarious laughter into the room. One thing is for sure, being a younger brother to Laurie could potentially be a serious health hazard, but that didn’t stop those boys from following their fearless leader time and time again. Speaking of being a leader, in his teens Laurie excelled at bas-ketball, winning many trophies and earning the respected title of captain of his team. Later in life he dabbled in many types of sports: curling, cross country skiing, hiking, and archery, but the sports that he loved most of all and couldn’t live without were fi shing and hunting... the only two SEASONS in the year that mattered. He became an avid fi sherman, and he brought home wild game every fall. This would sustain his family for the next year while he was anxiously counting the months ‘till he could do it all over again! From childhood to adulthood, there was no denying that Laurie was a team player and a natural leader, and both attributes be-came an integral part of his future career in the forest industry, where he was loved and respected by everyone he worked with from his humble position pulling lumber on the greenchain at 17, to his many positions in Management prior to his passing. Laurie loved and valued family, building a place where we could keep busy and happy – our Cabin – which quickly became our absolute favorite holiday destination, out there in the middle of nowhere.Fact is that Laurie will always be fondly remembered as the happy go lucky, totally entertaining, singing and guitar playing, fun loving, wild and crazy-big-fi re-building, moon howling, and very adorable neighbor, friend and co-worker.He was a wonderful son to his father and an even more won-derful father to his son. He was a precious friend and husband. He taught us to fi sh, make whistles out of willows, build fi res that would bring friends by, hunt for our food and make deli-cious jerky. We learned the value of being together and making that time quality time.We learned to smile even through the toughest days, and laughed the clouds away. We learned that rainbows come from even the worst circumstances, and that if we stay true to our-selves, we will always make the best decisions.

This is what HE knew for sure:Every time we sat with him at his bedside, we loved himEvery day we stood his watch and cared for him, we loved himEvery moment we felt his pain and cried with him, we loved himEvery day we made him smile and laughed with him,we loved himEvery night we said our prayers together, holding hands, crying, smiling, we loved himEvery time we sang to him, cheering him on, we loved himWE LOVED HIM, every moment of every day.

Laurie had an amazing staff of caregivers at Kelowna General Hospital who loved him dearly. He knew them well and trusted them. They grew to feel like our extended family and helped us throughout the whole hospitalization.On bad days they came with compassionate hugs, and some-times tears. On good days they were full of optimism and praise for a day well spent, saying things like, “you are so strong, you are the most amazing family.” It was words like that that kept us going day after day, during the hardest of times, the most diffi cult of days; they were Laurie’s angels, and our family was loved and safe in their arms. They did everything they possibly could for him.Letting someone go who is such a presence in our life - NOT something we should ever have to do. We were blessed to be with him when he passed away. He let us know when it was time for him to leave. He left us knowing that he would be just fi ne, and so would we.Laurie taught us that we are strong and resilient family; that love can move mountains but it cannot change God’s plans.After a lengthy illness, Laurie passed away peacefully in his hos-pital room, with his devoted family by his side.

Grandpa (Big Bear)Our precious Grandbaby Rayna has come into the world strong and beautiful just like her Mama and Papa. She’s got Grandma’s determination and Grandpa’s wonderful spirit which shines brightly through her adorable little eyes. She will always know how you loved and cherished her even before she was born. She will know you well Grandpa... that’s a promise from us all!

We will miss you today, tomorrow, always and forever, and we will speak your name with love and enormous pride.You may be gone but you will always be with us in our hearts,in our lives, and in every family tradition. With all of our hearts,your loving familyDonna, Jason, Ruthie and Baby Rayna

Our family would also like to say that we are very grateful for everyone’s love and support during this extremely diffi cult

and painful time.Thank You from the bottom of

our hearts.
