An editorial by Elaine Storey

Life is ultimately a series of events that
flow seamlessly from one to another. The
course unregulated, the destination unknown. Outcomes, despite their angst, can
be decided by the simple toss of a coin. As
life events occur, our focus may shift from
the road ahead to the one behind. We may
opt off the highway and hunker down or
take to the air and fly away. While we
dont always get to pick the event, our
reaction belongs to us alone.
We can ignore reality, remain mute to the
facts, or unearth life force to its first atom.
We can brainstorm. Or seek solutions and
work toward them. We can dig out paper
and list the pros and cons. Or simply declare, Its not my circus! and walk away.
Around here, there is never a shortage of
life-altering events where you stop and
say, Hum...mmm didn't see that coming,
Now what?
In the face of another life-changing event
in this town with the closure of the only
grocery store, we can declare any or all of
the above.
And from the reaction I see around town, I
suspect folks are wrestling with their options, listing the pros and cons and working toward solutions.
We cant control what life throws at us,
but by keeping calm and knowing our priorities, we can pick up the bat and aim for
the fence..always . swing for the
fence.

A Busy month at Endako Mine

submitted

June was a busy month at Endako Mine. As part of the mines commitment to environmental stewardship, the site kicked
off the field season of its aquatic effects monitoring program. Work included fish habitat characterization and fish distribution surveys of creeks and watersheds draining the mine site. Fish index sites were also established , and will be part of the
ongoing efforts to assess and monitor fish population and health in the area.
Also in June, work continued on dust suppression. Dustfall monitors were installed at the base of the tailings facility, and
will aid in quantifying the extent of dust potentially leaving Endako Mine 2016 Dustfall Monitor at the base of the Tailings
the site. The mine is also working closely with the Ministry Facility
photo submitted
of Environment to establish offsite locations for additional
monitors. Results will be compared against applicable air
quality regulations and made available once results have been
attained. Last months hydroseeding proved successful, aided
by recent rains. In addition, trials of dust suppressants have
begun and are ongoing. The staff at Endako Mine would like
to thank the community for their patience as they work
through this challenging issue. As always, if there are any
questions with regards to the mine, please contact Greg

A Time for Celebration

It is so easy for us to get caught up in the monotony of our lives. Work. Kids. School.
We are often too focused on the hustle of our routine, starting the day with an I have
By Randi Leanne Roy
to wake up attitude. This has resulted in many of us losing our ability to live life with
a mindset of gratitude.
Somehow, it seems society has moved towards a model of every man for himself; this is a different time compared to the
old school way of loving thy neighbour. Sadly, we are more disconnected than we have ever been before. It makes it that much
more difficult to open up and reach out to those who care for us most.
Having said all of that, there is always hope. There is always a brighter side. Universally, human beings celebrate one another. It is in our nature. Every culture across the globe engages in celebration. It is one of the single most examples that make us
all the same. This alone can reconnect all of us.
In Latin, to celebrate simply means to honour and praise someone or something. We celebrate someone when we treat
them with our highest respect. We recognize the gift they are to us and the privilege it is to
have them in our lives. Whether we are gathered for a birthday, anniversary, holiday, or the
many other events that bring us all together, we are honouring one another.
No matter the trying times we may go through, there will always be opportunities to
recognize someone in our lives. As we approach a new statutory holiday, this is yet another
chance to honour one another and this place that we all call home: I am referring to Canada
Day! This year, I encourage each of us to take an extra moment to embrace the celebration and
wish Canada a very happy 149th Birthday!
As a community, we are also approaching a milestone celebration: this Fall will mark
the 50th anniversary of when the Village of Fraser Lake was incorporated. This is a special time
for us as neighbours to celebrate our town and our story. A lot has happened these past 50
years and there is much to celebrate!

50 year Celebration
~ Coming Soon!
Stand Up Tanning

There is a final way I would like to encourage us, as a community, to celebrate one
another. Fraser Lake is a community made up of many wonderful individuals and their families. This is a great opportunity to honour and recognize the entrepreneurial folks who run our
local businesses. Each week on our Heck Yeah Fraser Lake! Facebook group, we will be celebrating a different business. Everyone is welcome to share how they feel each business has positively impacted our community in some way.
As we move forward as a community, let us keep in conscious mind the importance of
celebration. Let us stay connected. Let us live our lives with an attitude of gratitude for the
amazing people who have entered our lives. This is one small way we may grow our bond as
neighbours and as human beings. The daily hustle that we all live in does not need to stop us
from honouring each other.

FL Arts Council receives NKDF funding

On June 17th, the Nechako Kitamaat Development Fund Society approved
$120,680 in funding for four projects in the local area.
The Lakes District Airport was granted $100,000 to assist with resurfacing the
Baker Airport Runway, the Village of Burns Lake received $4,700 toward the
Rotary Cemetery upgrade project and $5,000 was awarded to Vanderhoof for a
business plan for a Water Stewardship Centre.
Of interest to Fraser Lake and the FL Arts Council was the approval of their
grant of $15,680 for the two-day Festival of the Arts on August 12 & 13.
Cathy Harder, chair of the FL Arts Council is knee-deep in planning the event.
We wanted to make the event bigger and this year we are having two days of
activities, said Harder. On Friday night Jamie Nielson is helping us with a Coffee House at the Legion, and on Saturday night two bands will be set up at White
Swan Park.
Weve also geared the two-day event more toward the teaching aspect of the
arts. There will be tables of multicultural food inside the arena with the artisans
and tables for the local vendors outside in the green space.

OFFERING:
Septic Tanks ** Lagoons
Sawdust Vac ** Dry Vac ** Dust Control
Holding Tanks ** Grease Traps Floor
Drains

The festival will be spread over three venues-the daytime events will be held at
the arena and the evening events will be at the Legion and White Swan Park.
For all events at the Legion, food will be served and the bar will be open.

Endako This & That

P HRASER C ONNECTOR

by Audrey Read

Finally getting a little warm weather although it is still staying cool at night. I planted some flowers in one of the flower beds and I tell you, that
ground is drier than a pail of baking flour! I have been watering it every day...good thing I have lots of water!
~~~
I heard a couple people are doing some haying and hoping for a second crop...IF we get some rain! That is one of
the nice things about putting up silage, you can cut the hay when it is ready no matter what the weather.
~~~
Did you know that: "Common Sense" is a flower that doesn't grow in everyone's garden?
~~~
Fort Fraser and area are saddened by the passing of John Vala. John was very active in the Cattlemen's Association as well as other areas of the
community. He will be greatly missed by his loving family and friends. Rest in Peace John.
~~~
"Somebody" put the, "WELCOME TO ENDAKO" sign back up at the west end of town. Also planted more flowers. I guess the flowers that we
had planted a few years ago died out. Thank you to whoever did the good dead! I think the wind had blown it over last year.
~~~
Went shopping in Fraser Lake today. Bought a new coat at Par 3 Sports - Good quality clothing in there! Hope he is able to stay open! Good
Luck! Also bought a few items in Fields and a few "left overs" in Super Valu. Even hit up the bank...only paid a bill so didn't get much excitement going in there!
~~~
FINALLY, June 8th, 2016 we got a fairly good rain! Of course I had been watering my garden so that always seems to encourage a bit of moisture from above! My garden is starting to produce a few goodies- radishes, onions, lettuce and spinach today. Man, it tastes good! Got the potatoes hilled up, looks pretty good. Only one double row of peas to weed and it is all taken care of for awhile. Today, being June 15th, I went into
Burns Lake and it started to SNOW just west of the rock cuts! By the time I got to town there was quite an accumulation on the pick-up! One
lady I talked to said she'd been in B.L. for sixteen years and this is the first time she'd seen snow in June! We are getting a good rain out of it
though! An inch and a half so far. Good, really good, we sure needed it.
