WorkSafeBC has completed its in-vestigation into the incident at the Pin-nacle Pellet plant in Burns Lake.

On Oct. 9, 2014, during mainte-nance shutdown at the wood pellet plant, three workers were standing at the opening of a burner door when an explosion occurred in the dryer system. The three workers were knocked back-wards by the force of the explosion and suffered burn injuries.

WorkSafeBC has issued five orders to improve safety in the workplace, and Pinnacle Pellet was ordered to pay an administrative penalty of $55,989.25.

According to WorkSafeBC, there were grounds for imposing an admin-istrative penalty because the employer “has failed to take sufficient precau-tions for the prevention of work related injuries or illnesses.”

According to the incident investiga-tion report, the accumulation of flam-mable gases was the main cause of the explosion.

“An accumulation of flammable gases in a contained dryer system was exposed to high temperatures and oxy-gen, leading to an explosion,” says the

In the story ‘Huckleberry Mine lays off 20 employees’ published in the Lakes District News’ Dec. 2 issue, 20 workers were laid off through a restructuring of the Huckleberry Mine.

According to Randall Thompson, Chief Operating Officer at Huckleberry Mine, the company has been facing higher operating costs and a drop in copper prices.

Last week, Thompson said the company is now weighing its options to address the continuous decline in copper price, including the possibility of a temporary suspension for three months. However, Thompson did not provide a timeline of when the temporary sus-pension would likely take place.

“Huckleberry Mine is focused on the safety of its employees especially during the holiday season,” said Thompson in a statement.

“Slowdown may be structural rather than

purely cyclical,” says UBC professor Copper prices have been falling for the last

few years. In fact, on Nov. 23, 2015, copper traded below the $2 U.S. level on Canadian markets, a low not seen since 2009.

Giovanni Gallipoli, Associate Professor at the University of British Columbia, explained that copper prices have been falling due to a general slowdown in aggregate demand around the world, and notably in China.

THREE ROUTES PROPOSED IN HWY. 16 TRANSPORTATION PLAN

Burns Lake Mayor Luke Strimbold spoke at a press conference in Victoria last week after the announcement of the province’s $3 million transportation plan to improve safety on Hwy. 16. The province proposes three possible routes connecting communities along Hwy. 16: one connecting Burns Lake, Houston, Telkwa and Smithers; a second proposed route would connect Hazelton, Gitsegukla, Kitwanga and Terrace; and a third route would travel between Burns Lake, Fraser Lake, Vanderhoof and Prince George. Mayor Strimbold is part of an advisory committee that will oversee implementation of the action plan. SUBMITTED PHOTO

Rueben Buhler’s preliminary inquiry date close to being set, says Crown

Flavio NieNow

In the story ‘Triple homicide case adjourned one more time’ published in the Lakes District News' Dec. 16, 2015 edition, the date for a preliminary inquiry in the case of Rueben Buhler - the man arrested in relation to a triple homicide in Burns Lake – was expected to be determined on Dec. 21, 2015.

However, the decision to set a date for the preliminary inquiry was postponed one more time. This was the fourth time that this decision was postponed - Rueben Buhler had other three fixed dates on Sept. 9, Oct. 14 and Dec. 10, 2015.

Buhler’s next court appearance will be at the Burns Lake Pro-vincial Court on Jan. 13, 2016, where depending on a number of factors, a date for a preliminary hearing can finally be set.

According to crown spokesperson Neil MacKenzie, crown counsel anticipates that dates for the preliminary inquiry will be set by the court on the next appearance.

“The court has now been provided with dates that counsel are available, however the court must still confirm the dates are suit-able,” explained MacKenzie. “If so, then the dates should be con-

firmed at the next appearance.” Fixing the date of the preliminary inquiry is under the schedul-

ing authority of the court, which takes into account a number of factors, including the amount of court time that may be necessary to hear a matter, as well as the availability of counsel on any po-tential court dates that are under consideration.

According to MacKenzie, a number of factors have contributed to the time that has been needed to confirm a preliminary inquiry date, including a change in defence counsel and ongoing disclo-sure by the Crown of the evidence gathered by investigators in the case.

Back in September, Buhler’s new lawyer Jordan Allingham said a preliminary inquiry date would likely be set for March 2016.

On April 27, 2015, at 8:25 a.m., the Burns Lake RCMP attend-ed a residence in the 200 block of Fifth Avenue in Burns Lake after receiving a report of potential foul play. Neighbours said they heard gun shots ring out earlier that morning. When officers entered the residence, they found three people - one woman and two men - dead inside.

Buhler has been charged with three counts of second degree murder and remains in custody.

PINNACLE from t P1

report. “A fire or hot spot was present in the system, and with the burner door open, an in-rush of oxygen occurred, resulting in an explosion that injured three workers.”

The report also says one of the underlying factors of the explo-sion included not following procedures to permit adequate cool-ing time.

“Pinnacle’s written procedure for burner cleanout was not fol-lowed. The combustion air fan was turned off before the burner outlet cooled to 80 C. Also, the burner manufacturer’s instructions were not followed; the instructions require the combustion air fan to remain on for three hours before the burner door is opened,” says the report. “By not incorporating the manufacturer’s instruc-tions, Pinnacle’s procedures were not adequate to safely cool the dryer system. These two failures resulted in cleanup work being started in the combustion chamber while high temperatures were still present.”

According to the report, another underlying factor was not hav-ing an operator in the control room.

“The production superintendent told the day shift operator to assist with the cleanup, and the control room was left unattend-ed,” says the report. “High temperatures developed within the system, and the day shift operator was not in a position to moni-tor or control them.”

In addition, the report points out that there was a “lack of ef-fective coordination.”

“Lack of coordination between the production superintendent, the lead hand, and the welder were factors in this incident as well as the failure to effectively coordinate the control room opera-tor’s duties,” says the report.

Leroy Reitsma, President and Chief Operating Officer of Pin-nacle Renewable Energy Inc., said the Burns Lake plan has made great strides in the past year in advancing a culture of “owning safety.”

“All of our employees, contractors and management are proud

of the work that has been done, and continues to be done, to cre-ate and continuously improve the safety of our work environ-ment,” said Reitsma. “The 2014 event brought to light a previ-ously unknown risk associated with the use of rotary dryers that we have used as a catalyst to create positive change across our organization.”

“While we are respectful of WorkSafeBC’s decision, we are proud of the progress we have made on safety and are apprecia-tive of the efforts that all employees and contractors have made to achieve better results,” added Reitsma.

The five orders issued by WorkSafeBC include that:- The employer must ensure that each tool, machine and piece

of equipment in the workplace is capable of safely performing the functions for which it is used;

- Unless otherwise specified by the occupational health and safety regulation, the installation, inspection, testing, repair and maintenance of a tool, machine or piece of equipment must be carried out: (a) in accordance with the manufacturer’s instruc-tions and any standard the tool, machine or piece of equipment is required to meet; or (b) as specified by a professional engineer;

- The occupational health and safety program must be designed to prevent injuries and occupational diseases, and without limit-ing the generality of the foregoing, the program must include ap-propriate written instructions, available for reference by all work-ers, to supplement this occupational health and safety regulation;

- The prime contractor of a multiple-employer workplace must ensure that the activities of employers, workers and other persons at the workplace relating to occupational health and safety are coordinated;

- An employer must provide to the employer’s workers the in-formation, instruction, training and supervision necessary to en-sure the health and safety of those workers in carrying out their work and to ensure the health and safety of other workers at the workplace.

Pellet plant in Burns Lake has made great strides says Reitsma

WorkSafeBC last inspection at Pinnacle Pellet

WorkSafeBC had last inspected the Pinnacle Pellet plan in Burns Lake on June 17, 2014, nearly four months before the explosion. At the time of the inspection, no infractions were re-ported and it was determined that "combustible dust issues were being managed."

When asked if WorkSafeBC had a share a re-sponsibility for the explosion, Scott McCloy, a WorkSafeBC Spokesperson, said it is not Work-SafeBC’s responsibility to create a safe and healthy work site – it’s the employer’s respon-sibility.

“A fundamental principle of workplace health and safety is that the employer is primarily and legally responsible for health and safety of workers on its work site,” said McCloy. “The employer is in control of production, including all work processes.”

McCloy explained that when WorkSafeBC does an inspection, they monitor the extent to which the work site, on that occasion, is in compliance with health and safety regulations. Unless an officer sees an infraction during an inspection, no infractions will be reported.

The death of former B.C. premier Bill Bennett on Dec. 4 prompted the traditional round of polite tributes.

He was the man from Kelowna who remade Van-couver, with SkyTrain, BC Place stadium and Expo 86 to put the city on the world map. He won three major-ity governments before handing over the steering wheel of a smoothly run-

ning Social Credit Party to Bill Vander Zalm. Outside B.C., the wire service obituaries ran to a few

paragraphs, defining Bennett first as the “architect of financial restraint in the province.”

It seems an ordinary notion today, but when Bennett unleashed his “restraint program” on the B.C. govern-ment in 1983, it was presented as a right-wing coup on a socialist utopia.

I was in journalism school in Vancouver when unions organized a general strike and mass street demonstrations under the banner of Operation Solidarity, appropriated from the struggle against Poland’s communist dictators. Their goal was to bring the recently re-elected government to its knees. The newly tabloid Vancouver Province, itself largely controlled by some of B.C.’s most militant unions, was a screeching banshee of the big-labour left.

“Socred hitmen swoop on rights workers,” its front page declared after 400 layoff notices were issued to provincial staff. This propaganda was the public’s guide and my professional role model.

A bit of background: the B.C. economy was in the grip of an international recession, hitting re-source industries and government revenues hard.

Bennett had ousted the Dave Barrett NDP government in 1975, but the legacy lived on. During its three-year reign, for example, education spending increased 13 per cent in the first year and 23 per cent in each of the next two.

The blitz of restraint legislation reasserted government’s authority to control the size and wages of provincial staff, reinstated the province’s ability to pay, eliminated various boards, and increased the provincial sales tax to seven per cent to pay the bills.

Another Bill Bennett legacy was dismantling the monopoly chokehold of big international unions on public heavy construction.

Growing up in northeastern B.C., I had seen the impressive pay for jobs on highway construction, about twice what I earned labouring for a non-union contractor doing city work.

A couple of friends discovered the inside track to securing labouring jobs on a provincially-fund-ed highway project. After joining the union, those in the know could visit a business agent and hand over $500 cash. Within days, the lucky winner would be “name requested” to join the crew, vaulting over those who thought paying dues and working their way up the seniority list would be enough.

This struggle over public construction continues today, with BC Hydro’s decision to make the Site C dam an open shop. The main contract was awarded to a consortium working with the Christian Labour Association of Canada, an alternative union known by more colourful names among old-line building trades.

After graduating from journalism school, I landed my first full-time job as a reporter for the Kelowna Capital News, shortly before Bennett announced his retirement from the premier’s office to finish his term as a backbench MLA.

Bennett and I would sometimes arrive for work together, parking our rusty 1976 Chevrolets on Bernard Avenue, where he kept an office above the family furniture store.

I found out later that Bennett’s modest old sedan was the government-issue car he had used during his entire 10 years as premier.

The party bought it for him as a humourous retirement gift, and he continued to drive it to work. No frills. That was Bill Bennett.

Passages of 2015: Bill Bennett

tom flEtchEr

I know what you’re thinking.

Calm down. Don’t throw the paper away and delete me from Facebook just yet (espe-cially now that I found these new hilarious cat videos to share).

The headline was pur-posely provocative, and I’ll tell you why…

We’ve all been watch-ing what’s happening in

America. While we just elected a prime minister who is promoting love and acceptance – welcom-ing Syrian refugees with warmth, appointing a diverse cabinet with an equal number of men and women and improving relations with First Nations – our neighbours down south have a presidential candidate proposing to ban all Muslims from their country and calling illegal immigrants from Mex-ico “rapists.”

Not only that, Trump told Yahoo News that he would consider requiring Muslim-Amer-icans to register with a government database, treating Muslim-Americans as second-class citizens. While we all thought Trump was funny and harmless at first, his ideals have become increasingly dangerous.

Just last week, William Celli, a 55-year-old California man, was arrested after making explosives in his home and targeting a Muslim community. According to police, the man had posted messages on Facebook professing support for Trump and opposition to Muslims.

While Trump’s ideas may sound ridiculous, archaic and even funny to most (normal) peo-ple, the truth is that his racist rhetoric resonates with a large number of American voters. This is the main reason we are all still incessantly hearing about Trump on the news (that and his hair, of course). Trump’s proposal to ban all Muslims from the country has actually helped his election campaign (sometimes I just wish Oprah would run for president).

According to a Washington Post-ABC News poll, a majority of Republicans support Trump’s call to temporarily block Muslims from entering the United States, even as a clear majority of the public overall rejects the idea. Nearly 60 per cent of Republicans support Trump’s proposal while 60 per cent of Americans think this is the wrong thing to do.

While Vancouver mayor Gregor Robertson has urged a developer to drop Trump’s name from a downtown tower project, saying Trump’s “hateful positions” have no place in the city, and a petition to ban Trump from the United Kingdom has had more than 300,000 signatures, Trump’s support in America only seems to be growing.

So why do we need Donald Trump, you ask me? Simple. Because he’s helping expose an ugly mindset that still exists in America and in other parts of the world. He’s helping expose the racism, the prejudices, the hidden fears and intolerance that arises from them – things we all thought had diminished after Nazi Germany. And he is doing it in a brilliant way – he is being so absurd and theatrical that is almost shocking he would have a growing number of supporters. Author Stephen King summarized this perfectly, “Donald Trump is a carnival man, an entertainer, a buffon. His fans are white, scared and angry. He will never be elected, not so long as minorities, liberals and educated people vote, but he has certainly exposed the ugly underbelly of conservatives in America today.”

We need Trump because he is helping pave the way for better leaders. By being ludicrous, he is reminding us of why we need to promote peace and acceptance among nations.

I believe he’s a smart man, and he knows exactly how absurd he has been.As Trump himself has said it, “The final key to the way I promote is bravado. I play to

people’s fantasies. People may not always think big themselves, but they can still get very excited by those who do. That’s why a little hyperbole never hurts.”

We need Donald Trump

HUCKLEBERRY from t P1

“Simply put, the world economy is not growing as fast as it was, at least as compared to the period be-fore 2008,” he said. “Prices are set internationally, so changes in the demand of large consumers such as China, the U.S., or Western Europe are immediately reflected in the price paid to producers.”

Since copper is widely used in manufacturing, when manufacturing growth slows down or goes nega-tive, metals such as copper are one of the first commodities to suffer. Gallipoli explained that when the price goes low enough, producers try to reduce their production costs and often this is reflected in reduc-tions of the labor force.

“This is unfortunately what is happening in many places in which copper is produced, not only in Canada but also in South America,” he explained. “The bad news is that small communities in Canada are suffering disproportionately from this commodity price plunge because they rely more heavily on extrac-tion and processing of natural resources.”

During an open house and presentation at the Burns Lake and District Chamber of Commerce on Nov. 26, 2015, Kyler Hardy, President of Equitas Resources Corp., said the mining industry is “very much a boom and bust cycle industry” - with periods of extreme wealth creation and periods of extreme wealth destruction.

However, Gallipoli says the current slowdown has some features that may be called “structural” rather than purely “cyclical.” He explained that China is transiting from being an emerging economy to the stage of a more mature economy.

“This transition is always painful and is usually accompanied by a sharp drop in growth rates,” said Gallipoli. “The U.S. economy might pick up some of the slack in world growth, but this may take a year or two.”

“While I hope things may stabilize and get better, I am not overly optimistic,” he added

“And when they Wise Men were come to the house, they saw the young child with Mary, His mother, and

Northwest residents and businesses will be paying more for natural gas as of Jan. 1, 2016 because of an interim rate increase approved by the BC Utilities Commission for Pacific Northern Gas (PNG).

This is an interim increase for delivering natural gas and a final decision won’t be made until the spring when formal hearings are planned.

While the interim delivery hike for residents is 1.8 per cent, from $11.755 a gigajoule to $11.987 a gigajoule, add-ons push the increase higher.

Those add-ons allow PNG to charge more to recover overall delivery costs should not as much gas be consumed as forecast and more for the cost of the commodity itself should the gas price rise higher than forecast.

In both cases, however, those costs can be refunded should de-livery revenues be higher than forecast and should the price of the commodity itself not be as much as forecast.

PNG does not add to the cost of gas it purchases for its con-sumers and that cost is adjusted to meet market prices throughout

the year.In asking for increased rates,

(PNG) says wage increases, in-creased inspections, general business costs and inflation are part of the rea-son its expenses are scheduled to rise by 14.5 per cent or $2.3 million.

And it’s also not adding in any option payments made to it to hold space in its northwestern pipeline, as

has been the practice in past years, to feed a planned small lique-fied natural gas plant near Kitimat.

But the utility also has some good news for its balance sheet – an additional estimated $2.4 million from natural gas sales to Rio Tinto Alcan now that it has completed its Kitimat smelter modernization project and is shifting to full production.

When increased income is weighed against additional expens-es and loss of other income, the utility is projecting a revenue deficit of nearly $600,000 should it not be given a rate increase.

Northwestern B.C. natural gas consumers pay more to have gas delivered here than elsewhere in the province because they shoulder more expenses to maintain the delivery system. That dates back to the loss to PNG of large industrial customers begin-ning in the last decade.

Without those large customers and their revenue, the cost of maintaining the PNG pipeline has fallen to residents and remain-ing business and industrial customers.

In past years delivery costs to PNG customers had been buff-ered by income from the sale of its interest in the planned Pacific Trails Pipeline which would provide natural gas to the proposed Kitimat LNG project at Kitimat. Those payments have now con-cluded.

PNG customers had also benefitted from option payments paid to the utility to hold space in its pipeline for the planned Douglas Channel LNG project, also at Kitimat, in which PNG’s owner, AltaGas of Calgary, is a partner. But for 2016 PNG is holding off on applying option payments until, as it states in its rate increase application to the utilities commission, “there is greater clarity and certainty that the project will proceed.”

That’s because Douglas Channel LNG’s partners had been ex-pected to make a final decision by the end of 2015. When that

is to be now made is not known, something made more compli-cated by a decision by federal customs offi-cials to charge a duty of $100 million for the Asian-built floating platform on which the plant to liquefy natural gas would be placed. That decision is being appealed.

The Douglas Channel LNG project is also the one great hope for re-duced delivery charges for PNG’s other north-west customers.

The plant would take up the remaining capac-ity in PNG’s pipeline, adding substantial op-erating revenues to the utility’s bottom line.

Burns Lake dealership gave away two cars to community members

Flavio NieNow

Autobot Sales Inc., a car dealership that’s been in Burns Lake for less than a year, has boosted the Christmas spirit in town, donating two cars worth over $10,000.

The car dealership received 65 nominations for their first ‘Christmas giveway’ - where they give a car to a person or family in need. Out of those nominations, nine were for Tachet resident Elmer Joseph, and they all spoke highly of his character.

“Elmer is selfless, caring and hardworking,” explained Clayton Wainwright, Manager at Autobot Sales. “Mr. Joseph’s lifestyle of continuously helping others is something we are honored to contribute to."

“We wanted to help as many people as we could with the give-away, and by choosing Elmer, through his generos-ity we knew that it would be helping more people than just his immediate family,” he added.

Joseph and Elizabeth Charlie have three chil-dren, one of which has health issues.

“Being able to safely get to their medical ap-pointments is a constant concern of the family," explained Wainwright. "We were so happy to help them.”

Autobot Sales is hoping life will be a little bit easier for the Tachet family now that they've won a 2006 Dodge Caravan worth $6000.

“But what it [the car] is truly worth can only be measured by the impact it has on his family,” said Wainwright.

According to Autobot Sales, the Christmas give-way was intended to make a difference is a family’s life.

“We obviously know that one car isn’t going to change the entire community, but the impact this has had on Mr. Joseph’s family is what we believe Christmas is all about,” said Wainwright.

Autobot Sales relied on the community to bring forth the most deserving families through nomina-tions.

“As we expected, the good people of the region-al district came through,” said Wainwright. “The folks of Burns Lake and its surrounding areas are a caring and tight knit group of people.”

The second giveaway was for Lake Babine Na-tion’s bingo event that took place at Margaret Pat-rick Memorial Centre on Dec. 18, 2015. The win-ner took home a 2005 Chevrolet Malibu valued at

$4900.Wainwright said Autobot Sales has received a great deal of

support from Lake Babine Nation and that’s why they decided to donate a car to the community as a token of their appreciation.

Wainwright recently became the new manager at Autobot Sales. He left a lucrative career at Northland Dodge in Prince George to manage the dealership in Burns Lake, where he con-siders his home.

Autobot Sales, which has the same owners of Industrial Transformers Inc, moved to its present location in June 2015.

According to Wainwright, there will be many more cars donated to the community in the years to come.

“Our goal is to give back as much as we possibly can to this communi-ty, and next year we hope to get more businesses in town involved with the Christmas giveaway.”

This holiday season give the gift of life

As families and friends gather together this holiday season, the B.C. gov-ernment is encouraging everyone to take the simple step of registering their decision to become an organ donor, because there is no gift more precious than the gift of life.

It only takes a moment to join the 34,197 British Columbians who have answered the call since Service BC and BC Transplant launched their unique awareness partnership this past April.

Friendly staff at all 62 Service BC centres in communities throughout the province now provide information on organ donation and help residents regis-ter their decision on-site. Those with online access can also register at: www.transplant.bc.ca

The process is simple, confidential and registering may well be the reason someone waiting for an organ transplant can celebrate the holidays with their family this time next year.

Quick Facts: • More than 95 per cent of British Columbians support organ donation but

currently, only 20 per cent have registered their decision to be a donor.• Close to 550 British Columbians are currently waiting for a life-saving

transplant.• Nearly 450 of the people on the list are waiting for a kidney while 29 are

waiting for a liver transplant.•A decal on your driver's licence is no longer enough; a potential donor can

check their status or register using a BC Services Card or CareCard at: www.transplant.bc.ca

• You can register no matter how old you are. Canada's oldest organ donor on record was 93.

• BC Transplant, an agency of the Provincial Health Services Authority, pro-vides provincial oversight for all organ donation and transplantation activities in B.C.

Clark adds ex-RCMP officer to cabinet

Tom FleTcher

Premier Christy Clark has appointed Prince George-Mack-enzie MLA Mike Mor-ris, a long-time RCMP officer, to the cabinet as public safety minister.

Morris was sworn in Friday at the cabinet office in Vancouver, returning the B.C. gov-ernment to a system where the public safety minister is responsible for police and prisons, while the justice min-ister is responsible for courts and Crown pros-ecutors.

Justice Minister Su-zanne Anton has per-formed both roles since her election as MLA for Vancouver-Fraser-view in 2013. Clark merged the two roles in 2012, appointing veteran cabinet minister Shirley Bond to the combined role to review the efficiency of the court system.

"Mike Morris brings strong experience to the executive council as a 32-year veteran of he RCMP and a former North District superintendent," Clark said in a statement. "Suzanne Anton will continue to spearhead the work to accelerate access to justice, continue justice innovation and will be British Columbia's lead on the federal government's Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indig-enous Women."

Morris, elected in 2013, was assigned last July to make recommendations for new penalties for distracted driving and careless smoking that ignites forest fires.

Dancing doesn't have to stop when the clock strikes 12

Restaurants with a liquor licence and an enter-tainment endorsement can now offer their custom-ers an even happier New Year's Eve celebration, thanks to a small but welcome change to entertain-ment rules for liquor primaries.

Effective immediately, eligible restaurants that have lined up music and dancing or karaoke to ring in the New Year can now keep the party going a little longer - until 1 a.m. - as long as their local municipality is onside.

Prior to this change, dancing and other activities that involved customer participation were only al-lowed until midnight.

This latest change is part of a larger move by gov-ernment to modernize B.C.'s liquor laws, increase convenience and let businesses focus on creating an even better customer experience.

Self-portrait of Burns Lake master scratchboard artist Lorna Hannett. She has won several awards - both nationally and internationally - and had her work featured in several magazines including the International Artists Magazine.

“Living in a rural setting, I am surrounded and inspired every day,” says Lorna Hannett

Flavio NieNow

Lorna Hannett, a Burns Lake resident who has garnered international recognition for her scratchboard art pieces, said living in the Lakes District has provided her plenty of inspiration.

“Living in a rural setting, I am surrounded and inspired every day, in all seasons,” she said.

Hannett had been living in Calgary with her husband when they decided to come the Lakes District for a camping trip in 2003. They fell in love with the area, and three years later, they moved to Burns Lake.

The self-taught master scratchboard art-ist now works in her home studio about five minutes south of Burns Lake. She has won several awards - both nationally and internationally - and had her work featured in several magazines including the Interna-tional Artists Magazine.

Once you see her work - highly detailed and full of depth and passion – it’s easy to assume that she’s being doing it all her life. However, Hannett didn’t take art all that se-riously until later in life.

Although she’s always had an artistic flair - doing ceramic, drawing and painting, when she was younger she decided to put her family first, dedicating herself to raising her children. Once her kids were all grown up, Hannett felt it was time to further ex-plore her talent.

“It’s the old cliché, I was trying to find myself after my kids left,” said Hannett.In 2003, while browsing online, Hannett came across a scratchboard art piece.

She was intrigued by its beauty and the amount of detail in the piece. She decided to e-mail the artist, who later provided her with instructions on how to make her own piece.

While scratchboard art has been around for many years, it has never been highly popular. This form of direct engraving is considered by many artists to be one of

the most difficult of all mediums since it is highly detailed and time consuming. Ac-cording to Hannett, small pieces may take a day or two to be completed while bigger pieces could take up to three months.

Scratchboard artists draw by scratching - using a sharp tool such as a scratchboard nib held in a pen holder - to expose a layer of white clay under black ink. The more lines they draw, the brighter the pictures become. Scratchboard pieces may also be coloured.

For Hannett, it all starts with a photo-graph.

In order to decide what her next scratch-board art piece will be, Hannett goes out taking photos. After she has gathered enough images, she plays around with them in her computer to decide which image will be used for her next scratchboard art piece.

“I have always had a fascination for the beauty of nature and its many moods and elements,” she said. “I also love to study people, adults and children alike, and try to capture each individual’s expressive nature in the portraits I do.”

Although she uses her photography skills to capture images for her scratchboard work, Hannett said photography itself is an added bonus. She explained that lighting and how it affects the subjects is the most important element of her photos.

The Burns Lake artist said she feels privi-leged to be able to express her love of nature and people through her artwork.

“I hope in some small measure that it will bring a certain amount of pleasure to those who view it,” she said.

Hannett’s artwork can be viewed at the Lakes Artisan Centre in Burns Lake (she’s usually there on Thursdays). You can also go online and check her Facebook page: ‘Scratchboard Art of Lorna Hannett.’

Hannett is one of the founders and presi-dent of the International Society of Scratchboard Artists. In addition, she has shown with and won a number of awards with the Federation of Canadian Artists, the Al-berta Society of Artists and the Canadian Institute of Portrait Artists.

Most recently, her piece called ‘Coloured pencils’ was featured in Strokes of ge-nius seven: depth, dimension and space, published by North Light Books. In 2014, she was awarded ‘best in show gold,’ master category, for her artwork “Orchids” at the International Society of Scratchboard Artists exhibition in the U.S.

Mrs. Mills and Mrs. Larson prepared and directed William Konkin Elementary’s production of The Grinch. There was standing room only. The students were involved in all aspects of the production: the set, the music, the main and supporting characters and the set up/take down crew. The lead role (The Grinch) was played by Adrienne Bender, Kiara Watson and Wyatt Holliday. The concert also included a number of beautiful songs sung by the early primary classes. This was a whole school effort and the students did an mazing job.

9:30 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. Burns Lake Mountain Bike building a shelter at Kager Lake

The group requested financial support from the village to help promote Burns Lake

Flavio NieNow

The Burns Lake Mountain Biking As-sociation (BLMBA) plans to build a new shelter near the east end of the Kager Lake parking lot.

“The shelter will be a 20 by 24 feet open building with a cookstove and fire ring,” described Guy Epkens-Shafer, BLMBA President. “There will be fire proof coun-ter tops for mini barbecues to sit on so families can get out of the rain to cook or just hang out.”

The new shelter will cost approximately $25,000 and will be built in 2016.

Guy talked about the new shelter during a BLMBA presentation to village council on Dec. 8, 2015. During the presentation, BLMBA asked the Village of Burns Lake for financial support for its membership with Mountain Biking B.C. Each year, BLMBA pays $1500 to have Burns Lake advertised on the Mountain Biking B.C. website http://mountainbikingbc.ca/com-munity/burns-lake, which promotes com-munities as mountain biking destinations.

The $1500 covers advertisement costs and the ability to provide content to the Burns Lake portal to attract more visitors to the Lakes District.

According to Guy, all money invested in advertisement and the Burns Lake trails goes right back into the community. In 2015, seven kilometres of new trail were built.

“More and better trails means more vis-itors and more money spent,” Guy pointed out during his presentation to council.

“These visitors utilize hotels, restaurants and other local establishments, and tell their friends about Burns Lake who come and utilize hotels.”

Guy also said the trails help attract pro-fessionals to move to the area, and new businesses such as Burnt Bikes. In addi-tion, the trails have given Burns Lake in-ternational recognition - Burns Lake was the first community in Canada to receive the ‘ride centre’ designation from the In-ternational Mountain Bicycling Associa-tion.

Furthermore, Guy said the trails are not only being used for mountain bikers - many residents use the trails for walk-ing, running, snowshoeing, walking their dogs and cross-country skiing. Exercise and close contact with nature not only contributes to mental and physical well-being of local residents, but it also has a long-term economic benefit, he explained.

Council has agreed to consider the BLMBA request during budget delibera-tions that will take place in early 2016.

Two Burns Lake organizations will benefit from the B.C. government’s com-munity gaming grant program.

The Burns Lake Search and Rescue So-ciety will receive fund-ing of $38,000 and the Burns Lake Citizens on Patrol Society will receive $3000.

Other three Nechako Lakes organizations will benefit from the grant program, in-cluding the Topley Fire Protection So-ciety - $22,500; the Houston Search and Rescue - $19,500; and the Houston Volunteer Fire Fighters Associa-tion - $22,000.

“Search and rescue responders, firefight-ers and citizens on patrol provide a criti-cal service to people,” Nechako Lakes MLA John Rustad said. “Public safety is a top priority for our gov-

ernment and this fund-ing will help commu-nities throughout our region continue their work.”

This grant is award-ed under the public safety category of the community gaming grant program, which

allows non-profit or-ganizations to apply for provincial gam-ing revenues from the ministry of commu-nity, sport and cultural development.

Gaming grants are also awarded in the categories of human

and social services, environment, sports and arts and culture.

Organizations inter-ested in applying for community gaming grants can find infor-mation and applica-tions at gaming.gov.bc.ca/grants/.

Public safety organizations in Burns Lake receive provincial funding

Statement was in response to a press release issued by Carrier Sekani Family Services

Flavio NieNow

In the story ‘Carrier Sekani Family Services supports de-cision to transfer family programs’ published in the Lakes District News’ Dec. 16, 2015 issue, Carrier Sekani Family Services (CSFS) had issued a press release saying they were supportive of the decision of the College of New Caledonia

(CNC) to transfer the family programs offered at the Lakes District campus.

According to CSFS, the hub model at the Lakes District campus is not the most effective model of service delivery.

“We applaud CNC for concentrating on its education mandate,” said Warner Adam, CEO of Carrier Sekani Fam-ily Services. “CSFS believes in order to improve access, ser-vices should be delivered where people reside rather than a hub that people must travel to.”

However, according to Bernice Magee, member of the Lakes District Post-Secondary Education Committee, the hub model of service delivery does not necessarily require people to travel to the campus. In fact, CNC staff has been reaching out to clients in areas such as Granisle, Tachet and Southside.

“All programs reach out to clients in their homes, or wher-ever the client feels most comfortable,” said Magee. “The family support workers and the therapists have home visit-ing as a regular, and in many cases, a daily requirement for their jobs.”

Magee explained that CNC staff travels every Tuesday to Tachet to deliver the healthy babies brighter futures pro-gram; the family centred program runs every Thursday at Grassy Plains School; and the early intervention services team is involved in different daycares and goes to Granisle twice a month and Southside once a week. In addition, trans-portation is often supplied to healthy babies brighter futures clients for appointments, trips to the food bank, and some-times even a ride home.

“Working in a hub does not limit outreach,” said Magee. “Outreach is a critical part of the hub model.”

The hub model of service delivery, which took over 25 years to develop, is an integrated approach to multiple is-sues that affect many of the clients including poverty, mental health issues, domestic violence, fetal alcohol spectrum dis-orders and alcohol/drug dependency.

Earlier this year, the CNC board of directors decided to transfer all family programs offered at the Lakes District campus before March 2016, sparking concerns from many community members.

The family programs have been funded through contracts

with government agencies such as the ministry of children and family development.

On Nov. 20, 2015, the ministry issued requests for pro-posals for early intervention and school age therapies, and protective family support services. The ministry also issued a notice of intent to work with a specific service provider that is already familiar with providing quality services to children and youth with special needs.

While many community members are still concerned that some programs and services might be lost in the transition, the ministry has said it is working to ensure that services will not be interrupted as a result of these changes.

Contradictory information about the request for proposals

Information provided by the ministry of children and fam-ily development (MCFD) contradicts the information on the request for proposals (RFPs) that have already been issued for the family programs.

Although the MCFD claims that there will be no cutbacks to the family programs, they have not explained why last year’s RFPs were worth approximately $1 million, but this year they are worth $866,000 - a reduction of $114,000.

In addition, the RFP for Healthier Babies Brighter Futures (now associated with the ministry’s ‘building blocks’ con-tract) does not state it will provide FASD prevention to at-risk mothers and children zero to three, which is a vital part of the FASD program.

Furthermore, according to the RFP for complex develop-mental behavioural conditions, there will no longer be diag-nostic support available.

The MCFD has not responded to any of these questions by press time.

CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20: It can be frus-trating when others do not seem to understand your motives, Capricorn. Don’t feel pressured to change your way of doing things, especially if it’s working.

AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18: Aquarius, some-thing you have been looking forward to for some time is about to happen. It has been a long time coming but entirely worth it. Enjoy the ride.

PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20: Pisces, stick up for yourself when you need to. You are your biggest advocate, and you will present a strong front when feeling secure.

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20: Think about ideas for the future if what you are doing right now does not seem very exciting to you, Aries. A new plan of attack can reinvigorate your motivation.

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21: Taurus, focus your energy on home-related projects. Procrastina-tion is your enemy in these circumstances and can staunch any productivity you may have achieved.

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21: Gemini, there is a way out of every situation, even if it seems like all exits are blocked. Swallow your pride if need be and accept the help of others when it’s offered.

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22: Cancer, you will be getting a lot of help with a special project, so ex-pect it to go quite smoothly. Just be sure to pay back the favor when you can.

LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23: Leo, a new perspective could help you see that things you thought were a big deal are really mole hills instead of moun-tains, and that’s an important lesson to learn.

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22: Virgo, learn how to deal with conflict in a productive way. Otherwise you may be stressed out and full of angst for no reason at all.

LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23: Somehow you always manage to pull through even with a ton of things on your plate, Libra. Even though you are suc-cessful, remember to schedule some downtime once in awhile.

SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22: Don’t get caught daydreaming too much this week, Scorpio. Peo-ple at work may think you’re not serious about your efforts when nothing could be further from the truth.

SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21: Sagittarius, ex-pect to spend some money this week. Just how much you will spend depends on your ability to find the best bargains and discounts.

Windows 10 Upgrade Improvements

The Windows 10 upgrade process has been fairly uneventful for most computer users, but not all. A significant portion of people who have opted in for the free Microsoft Windows 10 upgrade have been plagued by unspecific upgrade errors that have prevented a smooth transition. Microsoft is looking to ease these problem with a pair updates released last Tuesday. The updates will show up in your Windows Update utility under the Optional category, and if installed should resolve some of the more annoying or bizarre upgrade failures. While the Windows 10 upgrade is still considered “optional” for Windows 7 and 8.1 users, Microsoft is expected to upgrade it to “Recommended” next year, meaning those upgrade pop ups might get even more insistent in the near future.
