Transcript of Houston Today, May 18, 2016

Council has de-cided that they would like to apply for the new, provincial Rural Dividend Fund, to be used towards airport enhancements.
Among the other projects named are the � sh hatchery ex-pansion, circle path-
way upgrades, solar panel system expan-sion, broadband upgrades, tourism certi� cation, agricul-tural development, sledding trails up-grades and upgrade to town facilities.
Council debated which upgrade would have the most region-al economic impact. Immediately, Coun.
Rick Lundrigan shot down the solar panel systems expansion and circle pathway upgrades because these do not ful� ll the criteria.
I don’t see that as an economic driver for the region and they do look at it as a regional thing,” said Coun. Rick Lundrigan.
Lundrigan cham-pioned upgrading in-ternet services, saying that more business is done online and that this region needs bet-ter internet, which would add to the like-lihood of a successful grant application.
However, Coun. Tim Anderson pushed for the air-port enhancement
over broadband up-grades, and that idea caught on, even with Lundrigan.
Lundrigan asked whether District chief administrative of� cer Michael Glavin has any plans in mind for upgrades, to which Glavin pointed out resurfacing could be it.
Lundrigan men-
tioned that water, which is currently non-potable, and the fencing could be up-graded.
“I took a drive to the airport and I was impressed,” said Coun. John Siebenga. “Sounds like me that is something that we should be investing in. We’ve got a lot of stuff there and it’s
looking really good, I think I kind of agree that if we can get money to somehow build that place up, I think it’s well worth it.”
Glavin also men-tioned that the air-port upgrades can be funded by the gas tax grant, which has a new category for small airports.
Canfor kiln fire
Council has decided to apply for Rural Dividend Fund
By Alicia BridgesBlack Press
Houston Fire Department chief Jim Daigneault said last week’s major blaze at Canfor in Houston was the biggest saw-mill � re he had wit-nessed in 14 years as a � re� ghter.
More than 20 � re-� ghters worked in shifts throughout the night to extinguish the � re, which started at about 4:50 p.m. last Tuesday afternoon.
Nobody was in-jured and all mill staff were safely evacuated to a muster point, where the RCMP con-ducted a head-count.
Daigneault said the � re was “very, very ac-tive” when he arrived.
In his 14 years with the � re department, he said it was the big-gest sawmill � re he had seen.
“I was not so much worried, just trying to get everything in my head, get the plan going so you can get fast action to it, to try to limit it to the area
that’s burning,” he said.
“You didn’t want it to spread.”
Four of the six burning kilns were � lled with drying lum-ber, adding more fuel to the � re and present-ing a dif� cult task for � re� ghters.
To reach the wood that was burning in-side, the crew had to use loaders to pull the doors off the kilns, and then push the “kiln cars” carrying lumber outside.
Houston RCMP Sergeant Stephen Rose said arson had been
““Fire chief says that last week’s blaze was the
biggest sawmill fire he had
witnessed in 14 years as a firefighter.”

ruled out as a cause of the fire.
“We conducted some follow-up with employees that were in and around the area at the time the fire broke out and, as a result, deemed it not to be criminal in nature,” said Sgt. Rose.
The investiga-tion was handed over to the Houston Fire Department: RESULT.
Daigneault said the investigation would rely on inter-views with mill staff because the fire had probably destroyed any evidence of what caused it.
“The stuff is de-stroyed so it’s going to be very difficult
to tell exactly what happened at the start point,” he said.
“We’ll do our best, but it will be difficult.”
Although the cause of the fire is still unknown, Canfor Corporation exter-nal affairs director Corinne Stavness said in an email that it started in one of the sawmill’s six old-er kilns, which were built in the 1960s.
She said all of the older kilns were de-stroyed in the fire, but the mill’s newer kilns, sawmill and planer were unharmed.
“The impact to the operation there-fore is limited to the loss of drying capac-ity for lumber, and we are looking at
mitigation options here while we rebuild the kilns on site,” she said.
Only three of the six older kilns were operational at the time of the fire.
She thanked fire-fighters for respond-ing quickly to the fire.
“The Houston Fire Department responded quickly to our call,” said Stavness.
“The fire was ex-tinguished and we sincerely appreciate their support.
“We also thank our employees who managed the inci-dent with profession-alism and kept safety as their first priority, ensuring no injuries to our team.”

Four of the six burning dry kilns at Canfor were filled with loads of lumber, which made fire fighting a huge challenge. To reach the wood burning inside,crews had to use loaders to pull the doors off kilns, and then push the ‘kiln cars’ with the lumber outside.

Encrypted?Do you remember some years ago when a young teenager
hacked into the private schedule of Buckingham Palace? He knew all the information on meetings and of� cial plans of the Queen. He had decoded encrypted messages to gain access to their secret plans. The people in charge quickly added another layer of encryption in an attempt to keep the information secret.
Sometimes we try to hide our plans, thoughts, words or deeds which we do not want anyone else to know about. Maybe it is something we plan to do or something we have done in private. We think nobody knows - it is safely encrypted in the recesses of our mind. Yet there is One who knows every detail, no matter how many layers of protection we attempt to cover it up with. We may hide it from people for a time but no amount of encryption can hide anything from God, even for a moment.
God’s word, the Bible reveals that there are no secrets before God. He is the all knowing One. No matter how hard we try, we can keep no secrets from Him, “… for he knows the secrets of every heart.” Psalm 44:21 NLT “He alone examines the motives of our hearts.” 1 Thessalonians 2:4 NLT
Jesus said “For everything that is hidden will eventually be brought into the open, and every secret will be brought to light.” Mark 4:22 NLT and his word goes on to say “… the day is coming when God, through Jesus Christ, will judge everyone’s secret life.” Romans 2:16 NLT
Initially, this makes me very uncomfortable, it is sobering to think that He knows every thought, all will be brought into the open and he will judge even my motives. My � rst reaction is to cover it up, to hide and add a layer of encryption as the people at Buckingham palace did. Yet there is a better way. God wants us to come into the open, to transparently come clean and confess everything to him. Only then will he forgive us, heal us and set us free!
“If we claim to have no sin, we are only fooling ourselves and not living in the truth. But if we confess our sins to him, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all wickedness.” 1 John 1:8,9 NLT

In the story ‘Coastal GasLink has all major permits to start con-struction’ published in Black Press May 11 is-sue, Coastal GasLink had announced that it had all the major per-mits to start construc-tion of its pipeline proj-ect.
Coastal GasLink, which proposes to de-velop a natural gas pipe-line from near Dawson Creek to near Kitimat, has announced 11 part-nerships with First Nations groups and says more partnerships will be announced soon.
However, one First Nations group has promised to do all it can to stop the proposed pipeline.
The Unist’ot’en clan of the Wet’suwet’en has a protective camp set up south of Houston to physically stop pipe-line proponents such as Coastal GasLink from entering their territory.
Camp spokesperson Freda Huson said the B.C. Oil and Gas com-mission had no right to issue permits for Coastal GasLink without their consent.
“The province messed up and did not get our consent,” said Huson. “So we’re deal-ing with the province right now.”
“To me it feels like they [the province] are ignoring us,” said Huson. “That’s a lot of land that they’re trying to take without getting our consent.”
Last year Coastal GasLink applied to amend its environmen-tal assessment certificate
Unist’ot’en camp stands firm after Coastal GasLink’s announcement
to include another pos-sible route for the proj-ect.
While the initial route would run about one kilometre south of the Unist’ot’en camp, the alternate route would be approximately five kilometres north of the camp.
Coastal GasLink says neither route di-rectly crosses the Unist’ot’en camp. Huson, however, says both routes cross Unist’ot’en territory. In fact, she says the second proposed route impacts a bigger portion of their territory than the first one.
Shela Shapiro, a spokesperson with Coastal GasLink, said the pipeline proponent would like to improve its communications with Unist’ot’en members.
“We’d prefer to talk with them in a meaning-ful way in an effort to address concerns,” said Shapiro.
However, Huson says Coastal GasLink never
attempted to consult with the Unist’ot’en people before decisions were made.
“They have never once sat down to try to speak to us about it,” she said. “They want to talk after they have made all their plans.”
“This [land] has been in place for thou-sands of years and they needed to consult,” she added. “We were never consulted.”
Coastal GasLink hasn’t attempted to con-duct any field work on Unist’ot’en territory so far this year. Shapiro said Costal GasLink is working on finalizing the details of their proj-ect field program for 2016.
“The types of field work we’ll be conduct-ing include archaeology, engineering investiga-tions and pre-construc-tion surveys that will mark wildlife features, and site specific vegeta-tion,” she said.
Unist’ot’en camp members, which include
people from all across North America, have been physically imped-ing pipeline propo-nents such as Coastal GasLink and Chevron from conducting field work.
Last year, the president of Coastal GasLink Rick Gateman told Black Press that in-volving the RCMP in the Unist’ot’en camp may be inevitable.
“We’ll have to notify the RCMP of what we are doing and they will have to do their own response if we’re block-aded,” Gateman said last year.
Huson said protect-ing their territory is
vital, adding that the Unist’ot’en people only have about 10 per cent of their original terri-tory left.
“A lot of municipali-ties and agriculture have taken over our land,” she said. “We’re trying to preserve the last little bit that we have left and they’re still trying to force us out.”
“If we allow pipe-lines to go through, we have nothing,” she added. “Our land is our culture; if we don’t have our land, we have noth-ing to teach our chil-dren.”
“We are protecting it not just for our people, but for everybody else.”

Fort Mac shows indelible spiritAs BC and the rest of Canada watched
while a cascade of fire consumed Fort McMurray, the question echoed ever so
loudly in everyone’s heads: could this be real?And tragic as it may be, there is something far
more powerful that rose from those ashes: the hu-man spirit. Just as thousands of cars drove through what appeared to be the hot swirling depths of hell, something hung in the mind of each driver: fight for life, for your loved ones.
Now, as burning embers cool, comes the other side of human nature: love and compassion.
Reports of people buying a store-load of water or food for everyone, or complete strangers offer-ing up their fuel, their vehicles, even their homes to those who lost everything.
That’s the wonderful paradox here. Canadians came together as a nation to aid their people in a time when it was all deemed lost to the flames. Everything from GoFundMe accounts, to donation boxes and dozens of other ways to help sprouted within days.
The Fort McMurray wildfire wounded Canada, but she’s still standing strong thanks to the super-glue made by friends and family, strangers and neighbours, by Albertans, British Columbians, Ontarians, and everybody else.

Distracted driving finesBy Tom Fletcher
Black Press
A first offence for checking your phone while driving will cost B.C. drivers $543 when new penalties take effect June 1.
The fine for dis-tracted driving goes up from $167 to $368, and drivers will also be assessed four penalty points, trig-gering another $175 charge. The combina-tion results in a total penalty of $888 for a second offence within a year of the first.
Public Safety Minister Mike Morris said the new penalties put B.C. near the top of distracted driving fines for Canadian provinces. Two tick-ets in a year will also trigger an auto-matic review by the Superintendent of Motor Vehicles that
could result in licence suspension.
Public consulta-tion over the past year found support for a tougher approach.
“A lot of the input that we had indicated even higher penalties than that,” Morris said.
Tr a n s p o r t at i o n Minister Todd Stone said the public aware-ness campaigns have not convinced enough people of the dangers of trying to use mobile phones or other devices without hands-free services.
“Imagine trying to drive the length of a football field while you’re blindfolded,” Stone said.
Central Saanich Police Chief Les Sylven, president of the B.C. Association of Chiefs of Police, reminded drivers that being at a stop light
or stuck in a traffic jam does not mean the distracted driving penalties don’t apply.
NDP public safety critic Mike Farnworth said the government didn’t need to take a year to increase one of the lowest distracted driving penalty sys-tems in the country, and giving the super-intendent discretion over multiple repeat offenders doesn’t send a clear enough message.
“Frankly, I think that if you get more than three in the course of the year, there should be no ‘may’ about it, you will lose your licence,” Farnworth said.
Distracted and in-attentive driving was a factor in the deaths of 66 people and inju-ries to 630 in B.C. in 2014.

Public Safety Minister Mike Morris an-nounced the province’s new, tougher stance on distracted driving Monday,
with the introduction of a new fine system to take effect June 1.
Starting next month, the penalty for dis-tracted driving will increase from $167 to $543 ($368 fine, plus $175 in penalty point premium). Drivers will also be assessed four penalty points (up from three, currently).
A second offence within a year will cost $888 and it will be $1,600 for a third offence.
Two tickets in a year will also trigger an au-tomatic review by the Superintendent of Motor Vehicles that could result in licence suspension.
Morris said the new penalties put British Columbia near the top, in regards to distracted driving fines for Canadian province.
The question is, will it work?
Only time will tell, but we have our doubts.
Monetary fines have never been great deter-rents. Then again, the threat of a suspension doesn’t seem to be entirely effective either, when looking at the weekly RCMP report, and seeing every other entry being an impaired driving in-vestigation.
People continue to drink and drive, because they don’t believe they will get caught.
The same can be said for those who use their cellphones while driving. And Bluetooth is not the answer. Talking hands-free is only margin-ally less distracting, if at all. (If you doubt that, try your Bluetooth while driving in an unfamil-iar city - you’ll either lose your train of thought, or miss your turn.)
We’ve said it before, and it warrants repeat-ing. The only way to properly address the dis-tracted driving issue, inasmuch as cellphone use is concerned, is to install cellphone disabling de-vices in every car, before they leave the factory - a device that makes any cellphone inoperable as soon as the motor is engaged.
The technology is there. You can turn on your living room lights from 3,000 miles away, if you have the correct aapp.
The challenge would be getting the auto in-dustry and the communications industry on board with the process. That won’t be easy.
We imagine the whole mandatory seatbelt thing was not easy either. But it went through - and lives were saved because of it.

B.C. nurses vote to accept five-year contract
As many as 10 wild� res in northeast B.C. this spring may have been deliberate-
ly set.E n v i r o n m e n t
Minister Mary Polak said Tuesday evi-
dence an apparent string of arsons has been turned over to conservation of� cers
to track the source of the � res.
The B.C. govern-ment has tripled the � ne for not comply-ing with burning re-strictions to $1,150, but deliberately set � res are more serious.
“Arson would re-sult potentially in criminal charges, and if somebody was con-victed, they would see jail time,” Polak said.
Rapid snow-melt and an early warm spell created high � re hazard in areas of dry grass, spark-ing forest � res north of Fort St. John that forced hundreds of
people to evacuate.Evacuees were al-
lowed to go home on Sunday after rain and snow slowed the � res. Crews and aircraft in Alberta and B.C. continue to work on the Siphon Creek � re, which grew to more than 50,000 hectares as it crossed he provincial border.
B.C. schools open to Alberta kids
B.C. schools are preparing to take in some of the 12,000 children of school age who have been forced to evacuate Fort McMurray due
to wild� re.E d u c a t i o n
Minister Mike Bernier said he has been in touch with the Alberta minister to keep track of stu-dents who come to B.C., so they can re-turn to some of their normal routines.
“We sent a letter to all of our school districts that when we have students coming from Alberta into B.C., that we’re going to open our arms, make sure that they’re welcomed into the school sys-tem and try to help them complete the end of the school
year,” Bernier said.The Fort
McMurray � re de-stroyed homes and businesses as it swept through the town, but schools were spared, as were the hospital and airport.

B.C. nurses have voted 85 per cent to ac-cept a contract with the provincial government that deals with staff shortages.
B.C. Nurses’ Union president Gayle Duteil said Wednesday the new deal gives nurses a greater say in shaping health care policy, and represents improved safety and violence pre-vention.
Staf� ng levels have
been the key issue in the lengthy negotiations, which produced an in-terim deal in May 2015 to settle 1,600 union grievances � led over staff vacancies. That included $5 million for specialty training and a $2 million “grievance settlement fund” to pay bonuses to nurses who worked short-handed.
Health Minister Terry Lake said some of the 1,500 new nurse positions in the agree-ment are � lled by ca-sual employees moving
to full-time, and oth-ers are new graduates. Shortages remain in specialty areas such as operating rooms, where an additional $5 million is included for about 850 nurses to take specialty training.
The agreement in-cludes $2 million for rural and remote areas that the BCNU says could be used for hous-ing assistance or tuition relief to make positions more attractive.
Lake said the use of “tele-health” links has
resulted in a signi� cant reduction in trips to major health care cen-tres to see specialists. And in April, the gov-ernment announced expansion of its com-munity paramedic pro-gram to 73 communi-ties, replacing on-call paramedics with full-time jobs that include home visits and nursing home support.
Nurses are the last major provincial em-ployee group to settle under the B.C. govern-ment’s “economic sta-
bility mandate,” which provides a share of economic growth that exceeds independent forecasts. The nurses’ deal also includes a 5.5 per cent wage increase over � ve years, similar to other public sector wage settlements.
The contract covers 45,000 registered, psy-chiatric and licensed practical nurses repre-sented by the BCNU, the Health Sciences Association and the Hospital Employees’ Union.

By Xuyun ZengHouston Today
District staff brought forth two initiatives at the last council meeting.
The new corpo-rate services of� cer Gerald Pinchbeck brought forth a rec-ommendation for Houston to join the BC Amber Alert program, which was passed.
Pinchbeck’s re-port said the Amber
Alert helps with relo-cating abducted chil-dren by sending out emergency notices. It costs nothing to reg-ister but the District must post notices to its website, social media platforms and inform employees of any notices in order to assist with the lo-cation of the abduct-ed children.
The report also mentioned that there will be increased ex-penditures as a re-
sult, to which Coun. Rick Lundrigan asked for an estimate from � nance director Caroline Bidwell.
“Whether it’s over and above, you’re going to be taking
someone away from their position, so I just felt that council needed to be aware of that,” replied Bidwell.
In that same meet-ing, Bidwell also no-
ti� ed council that she has engaged Luckett, Wenman & Associates to com-plete a review of the District’s GST procedures to see if there are additional
funds to be recov-ered.
The terms state that if the company does not � nd any recoverable money, they will not earn anything, but if they do, Bidwell estimates a 29 to 50 per cent contingency fee.
This initiative does not cost the District anything. “I’m OK with that,” said Lundrigan.
In her report, Bidwell mentioned
that she identi� ed “some concerns and feel that we would bene� t from an in-vestigation of our GST input tax cred-its.”
She also men-tioned that this re-view helps improve the District’s opera-tions.
“When reviewing our � les, they assess any system de� cien-cies we may have and inform us of their � ndings,” she wrote.
Council approved plan to join BC Amber Alert program“Amber Alert helps with relocating abducted children by sending out
emergency notices.”

They operated the station with the help of Charles father Twain and sons Jack and Bill.In 1966 the family built a tire shop at the present location, 1970 saw the tire shop expand to a 6 service
bay and gas pumps.Sullivan Pontiac Buick opened in 1973 with Charles as the dealer, Jack and Bill as partners in the business. The sales offices were located in a trailer out back of the service station. There were many additions to the building from 1975-1990.Charles passed away in 1989. Bill became the dealer.

Staff photo/Houston TodayFINNING FundraiserIn two hours at noon Friday, Finning Houston raised $2543.25 during a fund raising BBQ from which donations will be made for help Fort McMurray people.
Northwest residents shouldn’t have to wait until there’s a crisis to have their Employment Insurance benefits extended, says Skeena NDP MP Nathan Cullen.
“Don’t get me wrong, I’m happy with the decision, but this shouldn’t be treated like a one-off,” said Cullen of the decision to add five additional weeks of coverage to the existing 45 weeks for qualifying applicants.
The decision, announced in the federal bud-get to come into effect in March, adds those five weeks to qualifying applicants in 12 regions, one of which is northern B.C.
It applies to regions where the unemploy-ment rate has increased in size by two percent-age poionts between March 2015 and February 2016 compared to the lowest point between December 2014 and February 2015.
The extended benefits will begin in July and be retroactive to January 2015, a move said to incorporate job losses by a downturn in the oil and gas industry.
That would apply specifically to areas such as northeastern B.C. which has seen its unem-ployment rate climb from 4.2 per cent in March 2015 to 9.7 per cent in March 2016 to then re-treat slightly to 9.4 per cent in April.
But the northwest has had a historically higher and steadier unemployment rate which in April was 7.8 per cent.
“We’ve been trying for years to treat the northwest separate from the northeast. They are so utterly different,” said Cullen in saying the northwest has been more vulnerable over the years to economic shifts.
And he’s also looking forward to promised improvements as to how many people can qual-ify for EI in the first place.
“It really seems to have been designed not to deliver,” said Cullen. “As many as a third of people paying into it weren’t able to even qual-ify.”
“It’s like having insurance and not being able to use it.”
He also said it’s important to remember that the money for EI comes from employees and employers, not the federal government.
