O p p o r t u n i t i e s for work may be on Houston’s doorstep. The challenge is � nd-ing and taking advan-tage of them.
That is why infor-mation sessions are being organized: to help people explore opportunities for em-
ployment, training and self-employment.
They are part of the Labour Market Strategy Project of the District of Houston, which runs with $51,490 from the Ministry of Social Development and $15,650 from in-kind contributions.
The information sessions will be three
hours and will include lots of time for ques-tions.
“We’re really hop-ing for a lot of inter-active dialogue,” said Pat Hufnagel-Smith, a consultant for the project.
“The goal is to pro-vide information for people who are look-ing at employment and career options so they
can make informed decisions around what they want to do.”
Hufnage l -Smi th says there are a num-ber of people looking for work or training, who don’t want to leave this region.
The sessions will look at job prospects and which occupa-tions will be in de-mand in Houston and
Northern B.C. in the future.
It will also discuss future economic activ-ity in the region such as mining, natural gas and pipelines.
For those looking for camp work, it will cover how to � nd that work and how to as-sess whether the camp life is right for you.
Information will
be there on transfer-able skills, how to start your own busi-ness, and how to con-nect with employers or training opportunities in the region.
“It’s just sort of broadening the per-spective around job search and where the future of employ-ment might be,” said Hufnagel-Smith.
The information sessions are June 19 at the Northwest Community College. They will run twice, afternoon and evening so everyone can attend.

$150,000 for job training
Information sessions to help with the job search
By Jackie LieuwenHouston Today
The Houston community college got $150,000 from the Province for job skills training.
N e c h a k o Lakes MLA John Rustad made the a n n o u n c e m e n t at the Northwest Community College in Houston last Wednesday.
“ N o r t h w e s t Community College is an important partner in the response to the sawmill closure in Houston,” Rustad said on behalf of Advanced Education Minister Amrik Virk. “The college has met with former sawmill workers and will offer a number of training programs that best meet the needs of workers and enhance their job prospects.”
Regina Saimoto,
Regional Director for NWCC, said the $150,000 will be used for foundation heavy equipment operator programs in August 2014 and April 2015. It will also run an ACE-IT electrical foundation program in February 2014 and a millwright level 2 program September 2015.

Finally, it will fund an entry-level natural resource certificate bundle in August 2014
and online training for construction safety officer in November 2014.
“One of the things
the college has tried to do is develop a plan to give people impacted by the mill closure options and solutions that they can work towards,” Saimoto said.
Since the closure of Houston Forest Products, NWCC and School District 54 have helped 15 people from Houston get their Adult Dogwood Diplomas.
This funding is important for Houston because it makes programs more accessible and more successful, Saimoto said.
“I think having the program in your community, especially when the community is recovering from an impact like a mill closure, is really important. That’s where your support systems are, that’s where your structure is that will help support students through their learning.”
“This announce-
ment is great, it gives us a lot of options and a lot more op-portunities but I think it is a testament to the collaboration of the community… We would not be success-ful without the sup-port of the commu-nity,” she said.
NWCC partnered in several programs with Monster Industries, Canfor and Imperial Metals to help bridge the gap between training and employment.
“Houston amazes me all the time in how closely people work together,” said Saimoto.
“People are really genuinely interested in doing what’s best for the community. It’s so refreshing and I think it just makes the community resilient and able to survive adversities like this mill closure.
“I just really want to commend the community for that,” she said.
Innovative training opportunities
Over 45 people attended a presentation about Red Chris Mine by Administration Manager Doug McFee (left). The presentation was organized by the Northwest Community College for workers unemployed by Houston Forest Products. Red Chris Mine is expecting to start up in August and McFee said they are already hiring. They’re looking for long-term workers as they’re expecting to have an over thirty year mine-life. The planned work force is 270 to 280 people total, working two weeks in, two weeks out. McFee said they are really looking for crane operators who can also run other equipment, and workers with health and safety or first aid. They are getting lots of resumes for heavy equipment operators, but need more for certified trades people, McFee said.

Regional District to develop new economic planBy Steven Maisey
Black Press
The Regional District of Bulkley-Nechako is creating a new regional economic development action plan that will be used by the regional district to support the region’s businesses and communities, as well as to build a strong regional economy.
In order for the action plan to reflect the local needs and perspectives of the local businesses, it is essential that the regional district hear from local business and community leaders.
There are multiple ways to get involved and have your voice heard.
The regional district urges business and community leaders to attend a community forum to share ideas about the economic development action plan.
These forums were held June 3 in Vanderhoof and Fort St. James, June 4 in
Fraser Lake, June 5 in Burns Lake and will be held June 16 in Smithers and Telkwa, June 17 in Houston and June 18 in Granisle.
The goals of the economic development action plan are to develop long-term economic prosperity, enhance the region as a great place to live, work and
visit, offer a quality of life that serves to attract and retain residents, offer all residents, communities and businesses an opportunity to prosper and to ensure the regional economy is diverse.
The plan will provide overall economic development direction for the Regional
District of Bulkley-Nechako, in addition to identifying mutually supportive partnerships.
“What we’re hoping to achieve is to support the economic prosperity of our region and use those things that enhance the livability and resilience that’s where we are going with this,” Bill Miller,
Director of Area B for the Regional District said.
Other ways to have your opinion heard is to fill out an online survey at w w w. r d b n . b c . c a /

Parents warned of grad party
dangers
The B.C. government is sticking to edu-cation to keep grad parties safe this spring, rather than increasing penal-
ties for “party bus” companies.Of� cials are more concerned about under-
aged drinking at house parties and bush parties than alcohol served in limousines and buses that have become a popular way for young people to go out on the town.
Transportation Minister Todd Stone said party bus operators have been reminded that no open liquor is allowed in any vehicle, and inspec-tions will continue with violators risking loss of their licences. Party bus operators have changed their websites and advertising to emphasize that no drinking is allowed on board.
At a graduation safety event in Victoria, RCMP and ICBC representatives stressed that there are grad-related fatalities every spring, and the problem extends to adult-sanctioned parties.
Inspector Ted Emanuels, of� cer in charge of the B.C. RCMP’s enhanced traf� c services, said any event or transportation where alcohol is served to minors is not a safe grad.
“The misuse and abuse of drugs and alcohol are the underlying factor in grad events where the police get involved, including physical as-sault, sexual assault, � ghts and accidental inju-ries,” Emanuel said. “We know from experience that bad things happen to good kids in these environments. There are also criminal and civil liabilities that you need to be aware of.”
On average, there are four teens killed in graduation-related vehicle incidents each year in B.C., with another 1,140 injured.
Jill Blacklock, ICBC’s road safety manager, said parents need to discuss transportation plans with teens before every event they go to, giving them more than one option. Programming taxi numbers into their phones and checking transit schedules before they go out are recommended.
After grad is over, the summer ahead is a time of parties that need the same kind of planning, Blacklock said.
Emanuels said one of the most dif� cult jobs in policing is knocking on somebody’s door in the middle of the night to report a fatality.
“Answering that door is worse,” he said. “Our objective is that your kids wake you up at four in the morning and not us.”

Perseverance pays offWhen we think of
people learning to walk, we usually envi-sion toddlers and the delightful excitement surrounding their � rst wobbly steps. My high school friend David Parke has been the focus of such a joy-ful display twice in his life - � rst at about the same young age as most of us, and then again in his 40s after an accident left him paralyzed neck down.
On the morning of June 13, 2010, the father of two young daughters was bik-ing alone on Mount Fromme in North Vancouver, where he’d cycled the beautiful trails countless times over the decades. That morning changed his life forever when he hit a slippery section, lost control and fell 10 feet to the ground.
Finding himself face down in the dirt, he tried to push up with his arms, dust himself off and carry on, but he was com-pletely unable to move.
Feeling freaked
out, but trying to re-main calm, he yelled and screamed for help over the next hour and a half, real-izing he would never get out alive without someone’s assistance. Fortunately he was � -nally heard by a man and rushed to the hos-pital.
David could talk and move his feet slightly, but other than that, he was paralyzed and would have to press a button with his tongue whenever he needed the nurses.
With some sensory and motor function below the injury, he was diagnosed an in-complete quadriple-gic. He had fractured his neck and hyper-extended his spinal chord and there was no way of knowing if he’d ever walk again.
But as frightened as he was to live in the state he was currently in, David was grateful for life and determined to do whatever he possibly could to get back on his feet.
Initially dependent
on his partner Sherri and the nursing staff to feed, bathe, dress and do everything for him, he started getting new sensations and abilities that allowed him enough mobility to control an electric wheelchair.
Daily physio and occupational therapy gradually led to him using a manual wheelchair, then standing on his own, and eventually taking his � rst wobbly steps.
“It was so tedious, arduous and super annoying,” he said of his many months in rehabilitation. “But at the same time, it was hugely ful� lling because it’s the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do. I had to make sure my head didn’t go into a dark place, keep myself positive and try to be as happy and upbeat as possible, knowing I would be able to walk again.”
Turns out, he would ride again as well.
Four years after his accident the � lm technician and
Langara College student still doesn’t have full use of his hands or feet, but he’s not letting that stop him from embarking on a new courageous journey.
Starting June 7 he will be cycling with a support vehicle from Whitehorse, Yukon all the way to Vancouver on an almost-two-month campaign to raise $50,000 for Spinal Cord Injury B.C. (SCIBC).
The non-pro� t organization provides services for people with spinal cord injuries, helping to � nd housing and jobs, offering peer support and providing many other resources, for which David feels deep gratitude.
Accompanied by his brother, the 2600 km trip across B.C. is intended to raise awareness of spinal cord injuries and also give something back to SCIBC.
Many people might see David’s lengthy rehabilitation as a time
consuming struggle, but he considers himself a very lucky man.
“Through this experience I’ve learned not to take things for granted,” he said. “To appreciate every moment of every day and care about the people around you because they care about you. Love life as much as you can because it’s very short and very fast and there’s no time to waste.”

Scientists rap Enbridge pipeline review
Even if B.C. teachers walk out before they are locked out for the � nal days of the school year, � nal exams will be delivered and marked for graduating students, Education Minister Peter Fassbender promised Thursday.
Facing a 10% pay cut for refusing some of their regular duties and preparing for a third week of rotating strikes around the
province, members of the B.C. Teachers’ Federation are to vote June 9-10 on whether to resort to a full strike before the school year ends.
Fassbender said the logistics of delivering and marking tests in a strike have not yet been worked out, but he committed the government to make sure they are completed.
BCTF president Jim
Iker said Wednesday the union executive decided to hold a new strike vote before the Labour Relations Board ruled that the employer can impose the pay cut. If union members authorize a full walkout, it would mean more � eld trips will be cancelled and report cards may not be completed in full, Iker said.
The LRB essential services order speci� es
supervision outside classroom hours if management staff are not available, and any emergencies as determined by school districts, but does not refer to exams.
The LRB has legislated authority to de� ne as essential services “those facilities, productions and services that the board considers necessary or essential to prevent immediate
and serious disruption to the provision of educational programs.”
Fassbender said the BCTF’s latest reduction to its wage proposal isn’t nearly enough to bring it in line with other settlements with provincial employees.
The latest BCTF wage proposal is a total increase of 9.75% over four years, plus cost-of-living adjustments
in each year depending on in� ation. The BCTF has estimated that with in� ation, the total increase would be 12.75%.
The B.C. Public School Employers’ A s s o c i a t i o n , representing the province’s 60 school districts, has proposed a 7.5% wage increase over six years, and recently added a $1,200 signing bonus for an agreement by
the end of the school year.

The federal review panel for the Enbridge Northern Gateway proposal downplayed the risks of a heavy oil pipeline and tanker terminal at Kitimat, and its endorsement should be rejected, 300 scientists have told Prime Minister Stephen Harper.
The federal cabinet is expected to release its decision on the project this month, after a review panel re-port in December rec-ommended it is in the public interest.
A letter from two University of B.C. scientists and one from Simon Fraser
University, endorsed by academics and graduate students from around the world, was released this week. It says the panel’s report took “a broad view of the economic bene� ts, but an asymmetrically narrow view of the en-vironmental risks and costs.”
The bene� ts come to Alberta oil sands producers from an expected higher price for their crude in Asia. But the environmen-tal risks assessed by the panel are limited to transportation by pipeline and tanker, and omit the risks and emission effects from production and later consumption of the oil, the letter states.
Northern Gateway project leader Janet Holder said the joint review panel (JRP) weighed evidence of from top experts in the � eld.
“By actively seek-ing to undermine the work of these experts outside of the JRP
process, the signatories of this letter are deny-ing the experts and opportunity to defend their work,” Holder said.
The Harper gov-ernment has signaled in recent weeks it is preparing to green-light the project. On
May 14, Natural Resources Minister Greg Rickford and Transport Minister Lisa Raitt announced a new rule for federal-ly regulated pipelines, assigning “absolute li-ability” for costs and damages of $1 billion even when their op-
eration is not at fault. This is on top of un-limited liability when the operator is at fault or negligent.
On May 27, Rickford announced a new major projects management of� ce for Western Canada, intended to increase
aboriginal employ-ment and business op-portunities related to pipelines, tankers and safety systems to pro-tect them.
The JRP report cited 209 conditions, including a protection plan for whales and other marine mam-mals and continued work on heavy oil cleanup.
Northern Gateway of� cials say their ma-rine spill prevention and response capa-bilities would be more than three times re-quired by existing law. Pipeline steel would be 20% thicker than re-quired, with the pipe-lines monitored and pump stations staffed around the clock.
Grade 12 exams will go on, minister vows

Saturday marks the renaming of the dining hall at Rough Acres Bible Camp to reflect the camp’s heritage and the Pousette family’s involvement in the camp start-up.
The hall will be
known as the Pousette Dining Hall.
John Pousette and his wife Evelyn received a plaque that honoured their hard work and contributions made to the camp that John helped start-up.
S t e w a r t Christensen shared many stories of
John Pousette and said that his colleagues will always remember that he is a brilliant, humble and compassionate, religious scholar, and a man of God.
“He is always looking out for others,” Christensen said.
Rough Acres Bible Camp is an outdoor camp that offers youth a week long escape into the wilderness to live in a “group atmosphere where Christian leaders have an opportunity to share Christ’s love and forgiveness,” described their website.
The camp was established in 1973 and summer camps have been going on for over 30 years.
It usually hosts around 300 summer students between the
ages of six and 17, and provides kids with three square meals and tuck – a term referring to snacks and sweets.
A typical day at summer camp is jam-packed with activities including field games,
archery, arts and crafts, kayaking, canoeing, team building exercises and chapel.
Of course, no day is complete without a campfire including hot chocolate and sing-a-longs.
By the time the day is done the kids retire to their cabins pooped and amped for what’s in store for tomorrow.
Andrew Hillaby has met many people through his time volunteering at the camp. He’s been
donating his time for over six years and says the camp is a magical place.
“It is a place where campers can be who they are, and they make friends really quickly,” he said.
He said that many teens who aren’t keen at first, end up being the ones who don’t want to leave, and they are the first to re-register the next year.
“I’m actually getting teary eyed,” he said, speaking of the power of the camp and the strength of the community.
Summer camps run in July and August, but the campsite is never empty. The facility is available for rentals for school trips and marriage retreats.
The camp requires up to 80 volunteers over the summer and volunteers are between the age of 15 and seniors. Volunteers come from all over. Many come from Vancouver, Calgary and Prince Rupert.
“It’s quite a place,” Andrew Hillaby said.
“Most kids beg to come back to camp,” said Janice Hillaby, the camp’s executive director.
Hillaby said the numbers of those already registered for the summer are fairly high and she is excited for what the summer will bring.

forTodayI Will Never Abandon You!When speaking to a lady about God’s love for her, she
told me she had once been a follower of Jesus but she had fallen deeply into sin. She said she had sinned too much and now she felt God did not want anything to do with her. She had gone too far, she thought. “I have sinned too much for God to ever take me back.” she said. She was actually believing a lie, and did not understand God’s love for her.
I explained to her that she had wandered from God but God had not abandoned her. God is not in the business of abandoning his children when they are down or when they have doubts. When Joshua took over the leadership of the Israelites after Moses died, God promised Joshua “I will never fail you. I will never abandon you.” Joshua 1:5 NLT. Over one thousand years later, God spoke to us through the writer of Hebrews, “I will never fail you, I will never abandon you.” Hebrews 13:5 NLT. It is us who turn away from God, it is our sin that separates us from fellowship with him. When we come to him in repentance and faith, he will not cast us away. Jesus came to seek and to save those who are lost. (Luke 19:10) He did not come to condemn but to save. (John 3:17)
It is not the severity or the depth of our sin, but our unwillingness to come to him in humility and repentance, that keeps us from being set free.
Once she realized that God hated her sin, but still loved her, this lady confessed her sin to God, turned from her sin and surrendered to Christ. She was truly set free to follow Jesus with all the power of the Holy Spirit within her.
Maybe you once followed Jesus Christ and feel you have gone too far or maybe you have never received Christ as your Lord and Saviour. Your sins are too great for you to carry. I have good news for you! God loves you (John 3:16) and wants you to surrender all your sin, your cares, your burdens to him. He can set you free!
“Come now, let us settle this,” says the LORD. “Though your sins are like scarlet, I will make them white as snow. Though they are red like crimson, I will make them white as wool.” Isaiah 1:18 NLT
“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 1:9 NLT
