The name describes it well, with more than 3,000 miles of outdoor water recreation opportunities in the Lakes District. From Burns Lake - the `Heart of the Lakes District' - outdoor adventurers can seek recreation within the smallest and the largest lakes in British Columbia, as our area has them both. The lakes offer plenty of shing and boating opportunities. You can water ski, sailboard, or powerboat on most lakes, and many of our smaller bodies of water are excellent for canoeing and kayaking. Burns Lake, with its many bays, islands, and hidden inlets, is perfect for paddling. The Lakes District has many other outdoor activities for those that prefer to have both feet on the ground and out of water. There are more than two dozen recreation sites and hiking trails throughout the region, as well as mountain bike trails on Boer Mountain. Walking trails within the village include two of the areas' most popular, Eveneshen and Rod Reid trails. It's a perfect way to unwind after a long day on the road. There is a variety of wildlife that you may see during your travels through the Lakes District. The area has healthy populations of deer, bear, and moose, and it is a favourite resting place for migratory birds - all of which make it popular with photographers and hunters alike. Of course, a holiday in the Lakes District would not be complete without a visit to B.C.'s smallest Provincial Park Deadman's Island in Burns Lake or one of its largest protected areas Tweedsmuir Park. Burns Lake is the gateway to both parks, which offer travelers a unique recreational experience that won't soon be forgotten. A perfect place to stay during your visit is at our FREE campground at the Burns Lake Spirit Square right on the Lake. A children's playground, modern washrooms, beach and covered picnic areas will enhance you lakeside camping experience. The Lakes District has something for everyone and every year the list of outdoor recreation activities keeps growing. Our local merchants can provide visitors with all the goods I and services they will need after a long day in our "great outdoors". You will nd the small town atmosphere of Burns Lake warm and friendly, too. - and its residents eager to please.

Stop by our Chamber of Commerce - we are located right beside the Visitors Information Centre! The Burns Lake and District Chamber of Commerce has a new manager at the helm. Local resident of 11 years, Laurie Reimer has been appointed as the new manager of the chamber. Reimer said she plans Laurie Reimer to strengthen the foundation of the chamber, reinforcing it's presence in the community. "The main problem with the chamber was the lack of involvement amongst the businesses .... the chamber lost its presence in the community," Reimer said, adding that this is one of the first things on her `to do' list. She said she plans to maximize the chamber's presence by visiting businesses, telling them why membership is beneficial and encouraging them to sign on. "We are going to make the chamber's presence known," she added. Reimer also has other goals for the chamber to achieve this year including the trade show, hosting the first annual Businesses Excellence Awards, ensuring a successful Canada Day event and the chamber's Annual General Meeting. "We want to make the Businesses Excellence Awards not only an annual event, but `the' event .... we want to make the awards a significant event for the businesses," she said. Reimer previously worked at the Lakes Economic Development Association as a proposal writer, but she said has completed an applied business technology course at the College of New Caledonia Lakes District Campus which has given her the skills for the new role as chamber manager. By the end of this year Reimer said she believes the chamber will have a stronger presence in the community, there will be an increase in membership and businesses will know who to contact for information. "The chamber will have more stability .... a strong chamber needs a strong community and this is what we are trying to build upon," she added.

While First Nations had long inhabited the area before the arrival of any nonnatives, European settlers came here during the 19th century. Settlers were brought to the area by the construction of the Collins overland telegraph line. In fact, the engineer responsible for the telegraph trail, American-born Charles Bulkley, was the rst non-native man to settle in Burns Lake. This line connected Fraser Lake to Burns Lake and Decker Lake, down the Bulkley River to Hazelton and then up the Kispiox River into the Yukon. Further settlement followed with the construction of the Grand Trunk Paci c Railway, which was built through the area en route Edmonton to Prince Rupert. The building of the railway provided easier access for settlers and quickly resulted in numerous new arrivals to the area. Among the new arrivals were prospectors in search of minerals and a small mining operation was quickly started. Completion of the railroad in 1914 further opened up the area to development. The railroad created a demand for railroad ties and increased access to the area allowing mining and forestry to develop. This resulted in the commencement of commercial forestry activities in the region, attracting many permanent settlers. Over the years, settlers continued to arrive which reached B another high in the early 1950's, when the Aluminum Company of Canada (Alcan) started the construction of an aluminum smelter in Kitimat. However, the man credited for founding Burns Lake is Barney Mulvaney. Mulvaney started a tent town, which evolved over the years to become the Village of Burns Lake. Barney is considered one of Burns Lake's most prominent and colorful historical gures. He was a saloon, gambling den owner and operator, enterprising trapper and packer, and mail and passenger service operator. The gambling den seen here is known locally as the Bucket of Blood. The building was given its sinister name after a shooting incident took place over a poker game. The building still stands today and is part of the Burns Lake Walking Tour featuring Heritage Buildings and Points of Interests. To learn more about Barney Mulvaney visit the Burns Lake Museum. In fact, a visit to the museum provides the best way to gain an understanding and appreciation of the unique and vibrant history of Burns Lake. The museum is conveniently located on Hwy. 16 next to the Visitors' Information Centre. For more information contact the Lakes District Museum at 250-692-7450. Hours are 9 am to 4:30 pm Mon to Fri.

Every year, both locals and visitors take advantage of the Lakes District's 3000 miles of shing opportunity making it one of the greatest shing destinations in British Columbia. Lakes in the area support populations of prize winning char, kokanee, as well as trophy cutthroat, rainbow, and eastern brook trout. Anglers will agree, this is sport shing at its nest. The excitement of hooking a 42 pound char in Tchesinkut Lake will certainly bring you back to the Lakes District year after year. Tchesinkut Lake is one of the purest water sources in BC. This lake has plenty of rainbow trout, kokanee and Dolly Varden. Maxan, Tagetochlain (Poplar), Uncha, Burns, Pinkut, Augier, and Taltapin lakes also support healthy populations of char. For years, anglers have coined the Lakes District as its ultimate trout- shing destination, with almost all of its lakes teeming with cutthroat, rainbow or eastern book trout. In fact, Babine Lake can claim the title of the most popular shing lakes in the province. Fly sherman ock to the lakes to get their change at catching one of its large cutthroat and rainbow trout. If y- shing isn't what you were aiming for, S trolling for lake char and kokanee is another option. Babine Lake is also spawning area for salmon and the months of August and September are the best times to view this natural phenomenon. Anglers can nd accommodations in the Village of Burns Lake, which is a central location and provides easy access to the lakes as well as all of your shing needs.

Kelli and Kevin Payne are the owners of Homeside Antiques. And Kelli has been interested in antiques since she was 20, a love she inherited from her mother, who in turn got the `bug' from her father. "We're all collectiques," she laughs. And just recently added another very special and unique treasure to their antique collection. The Payne's purchased a 132 year old horse drawn hearse in September of this year. The hearse was built in 1878 by McGinnis Bros. Carpentry. Only ve of the hearses were built by the carpentry company and the Paynes hearse was the fth and nal one ever made. According to Kevin, the ve hearses were built for funeral homes on Prince Edward Island. The hearse was built to by drawn by a single horse and still has its original curtains intact. The silk curtains, although not currently attached to the hearse are in good condition and are currently in the process of being carefully washed to be re-installed. "The curtains were originally nailed on to the inside of the hearse ... there were no curtain rods," said Kelli. When hearse number ve was no longer used for funeral services it was retired into the Spoke and Wheel museum in Charlottetown. "The museum closed some time in the mid 1990s as far as we know," Kevin said. It was then purchased from the sale of the museums items and was taken to its new owners home in Saskatoon where it was stored inside until the Paynes purchased it. "We bought it, I then brought it home to Burns Lake in an enclosed trailer," said Kevin. The Paynes plan to restore the hearse this winter by cleaning and repainting it. "The hearse is completely original and has all its original ttings," Kelli said. The hearse also came complete with a r casket inside. The casket was made 37 years later in 1915 and is still in excellent condition. "It is an unused primitive r casket," said Kevin. To view the hearse and casket or any other antiques and collectables go to Homeside Antiques, located just 15 km east of Burns Lake on Hwy. 16. "We get people from all over the world - the United Kingdom, Italy, Germany, France, China - some come back year after year to see our antiques, but the wagon is what draws them," she says. You will nd treasures like antique lamps, pictures, dishes - the list is endless. Homeside Antiques carries the largest selection of antique furniture and collectibles in the area.

Burns Lake Explore Burns Lake & the Lakes District - Summer 2011 Page 31 Join us for Aboriginal Day June 21 he history of Burns Lake is rich in First Nations history, culture, and legend. This is because long before the arrival of Europeans, several distinct groups of First Nation people inhabited the area. Today Burns Lake has six native bands - Cheslatta Carrier Nation, Lake Babine Nation, Burns Lake Band, Wet'suwet'en, Nee-Tahi-Buhn Band, and Skin Tyee. First Nations lived in the Lakes District as hunters and gatherers. Living from the land, the rst inhabitants of this land have many traditions that have carried through today. The First Nations have always harvested fruits, plants and sh for food as well as medical purposes. The societies of First Nations in this area were historically matriarchal societies. Their social and economic structure is and has always been centered around the potlatch, an important celebration held at major, such as births, marriages, and deaths. Potlatches were historically an important economic, political, and social organization. Today, it remains an important aspect of the First Nation culture. Burns Lake joins annually to celebrate this cultural heritage during our annual Aboriginal Day. This day is held in recognition of the important contributions that First Nations people have made in our community and society. The day kicks off with a parade, featuring elders, dancers, and drummers each wearing beautifully handcrafted regalia. The celebration then continues at the Radley Beach, where people from all cultural backgrounds get an opportunity to try traditional cuisine, such as salmon, moose and beaver each prepared in the customary T fashions. This event simply wouldn't be the same without its astounding range of traditional and contemporary entertainers. Anything from country, to gospel, to traditional drumming can be enjoyed and help to keep the party going. The gathering also includes a range of fun and traditional games, such as leg wrestling, snowshoe races, an ice cream contest and stick-pull. The craft booths are open all day, selling a range of one-of-a-kind handicrafts, such as jewelry, clothing, and artifacts. If you are in the area on June 21, be sure to join the celebration and learn more about these important native cultural groups in our area.

Berries abound The following are just a few of the many edible plants that grow in the Lakes District. The June berry or Saskatoon is one of the better known edible plants found in this region, which is not surprising since it has some of the most delicious fruit of any of the wild berries in the province. The Saskatoon is a bush with light grey bark. Its leaves are round/ oblong and the fruit is usually very dark purple that grows in small bunches. This bush can be found by the side of the roads, or on moist slopes. Another popular berry of this area is the Twin-leaved Huckleberry or Mountain Bilberry. The Huckleberry appears to be a coarse dense bush. The branches are grey and ragged looking, and the leaves are elongated and pale underneath. The fruit is dark purple, almost black, that prows singly and has a attened appearance when mature. Huckleberries like open forest slopes, and old burns or ski slopes are good places to nd them. No matter how careful hikers are they probably cannot avoid stepping on Kinnikinik during their travels. This dense shrub covers dry, sandy slopes and rocky areas. It has bright green leathery leaves and red berries. Annual Blue Grass Country Jamboree The Blue Grass Jamboree is held in July each year with performers participating from all over the province. It is a three day event, usually Friday, Saturday & Sunday. There is rough camping on the grounds and also camping facilities at many local resorts in the area. For more information contact Richard Cannon 250-699-8697.

Wings' Foul-Out Endemic Of An Arrogant Organization

Comments (0)
By George Malik: from the Detroit News:
A promotion in which fans could snag the right to buy two World Series tickets by purchasing a Detroit Red Wings ticket package has ended. At noon on Wednesday the offer was made to existing Red Wing season ticket holders and members of the Red Wings World fan club. All of the ticket packages were gone by 9 a.m. today, said Mike Brinich, Red Wings media relations manager. Brinich would not say how many of the packages were sold. Buyers had to purchase 20 single game tickets to be able to buy two of the World Series tickets for either Saturday's or Sunday's games. He said the promotion was a way of saying thanks to season ticket holders and members of the fan club for their support. "We thought it was a fun way for fans of both teams to participate," Brinich said.

Is There A Difference

from alan Adams of Fox Sports,
For most people, it would be an apples vs. apples comparison, the racist comments made by Sean Avery of the L.A. Kings measured against the racist comments made by former NHLer star John Vanbiesbrouck. But apparently not for the NHL. To explain. After a stellar NHL career, Vanbiesbrouck ended up buying and coaching the major junior Sault Ste Marie Greyhounds of the Ontario Hockey League. But he resigned in disgrace and sold his share of the team in March 2003 after he used a derogatory racial term when discussing defenseman Trevor Daley.continued

from Spector's Blog at Fox Sports,
It's been a while since I've had to highlight a ridiculous trade rumor, but the latest sent in to me by a reader from a supposed NHL "insider" nearly had me spitting my morning coffee on my monitor. This doozy claims that Pittsburgh Penguins rookie Evgeny Malkin isn't happy playing in the supposed shadow of Sidney Crosby, that he doesn't want to play second-fiddle to Crosby and he's used to being the number one guy on any team he's played for.continued... I also recall the trade rumor involving Malkin a few months ago, what ever happened to that one?

"The pressure in your marketplace to have your payroll start with a 'four' is tremendous," Anaheim Ducks general manager Brian Burke says. "It doesn't matter what market you are in. The media and fans, say, 'OK, maybe you can't spend $44 million, but you can spend $40 million.' " NHL Players Association executive director Ted Saskin says opening-day payrolls are up 19% from last season, the highest increase in 15 years. He views the spending as a positive for the league.more

from the Pittsburgh Business Times,
The Pittsburgh Gaming Task Force has thrown its support for the city's slots license to Isle of Capri Casinos Inc. The task force did not formally endorse Isle of Capri, which has proposed a slots casino in the Hill District and would partner with the Penguins to build a new arena for the NHL team should it win the license to operate a casino. But is it seen as influential, and the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board has said it would consider the task force's recommendations before awarding a license, expected by year-end.continued

from David Amber at ESPN,
Before he was the "Finnish Flash," Teemu Selanne was a school teacher who dreamed of playing professional hockey. In this edition of Facing Off, one of the NHL's craftiest snipers tells David Amber why he's not a threat to Brad Pitt's sexiest man alive title, where he came up with the nickname for best friend Paul Kariya and how he ruined his twin brother's hockey career. Question from David Amber: Before you came to the NHL, you taught kindergarten for three years. How did that happen? Answer from Teemu Selanne: When I started with the Army Service in Finland, I didn't want to start studying for a little while. So I thought it was a good idea to start working in the kindergarten. It was a fun time. We played all sorts of games. I wasn't a tough teacher. I tried to be a fun teacher.continued

from Marcie Garcia of NHL.com,
A self-described cook, Malhotra would rather stay in his kitchen than visit the trendiest restaurants in town. Though as natural a talent as his knack for winning faceoffs (he finished sixth, winning 56.3 percent of his faceoffs last season), cooking was something Malhotra inherited and nurtured through his parents. Manny's mother is French Canadian and his father is from Punjab, India. Though Malhotra insists his family, including brothers, Sanjeev and Mandeep, and sister Sapna, had regular fare every evening, some favorite French Canadian dishes like Shepard's pie, and Indian food, such as chapati and curry chickpeas, were also the norm.more

David Frost: Goodenow's Good Old Boy

from the Toronto Sun:
Would Mike Danton be in prison today had the National Hockey League Players' Association properly protected his interests by never certifying David Frost as an agent? Would the former NHL player have found himself the central figure in a clumsy murder-for-hire plot involving Frost had his agent never been certified to be his agent? These questions linger unanswered -- still being asked by Danton's parents, still being wondered about by those within hockey circles -- while Danton remains behind bars in Fort Dix, N.J., serving a 7 1/2-year sentence while Frost awaits trial on numerous sexual exploitation charges in Ontario.continued, and the CBC has archived its groundbreaking "Fifth Estate" reports online...
