Council has unanimously denied the Houston Public Library’s request to move the farmers’ market next to the library.
Every councillor present, except Coun. Tom Stringfellow, voiced their opposition to the request. Coun. Dawn Potvin and Mayor Shane Brienen were absent.
C h i e f administrative of� cer Michael Glavin also highlighted that the Houston Public Library Association’s board has not given their approval to this. The association holds the lease to the library.
Coun. Rick Lundrigan argued that since the library board has not approved it, and due to parking concerns, he wants to keep the status quo. Lundrigan added that
Fourteenth Street is an important street with the clinic and ambulance service located on it.
“That’s a busy street, and there’s about 12 parking spots in the library,” said Lundrigan. “Like the report says, it’s open on library hours as well, so parking is the main issue.”
Coun. John Siebenga’s argued that moving the market from the highway to beside the library “is going to cut down on traf� c ... for the

Will the general open season for moose be called off?
By Flavio NienowBlack Press
Given the declining population of moose across the province, the provincial government is taking measures to modernize aspects of wildlife management, initially focusing on growing moose popula-tions.
Although the pro-vincial government hasn’t specified what its actions will be, Black Press has learned that the general open season
(GOS) for moose in the southern Skeena region may be called off.
The Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations did not confirm nor deny that information.
“Final decisions have not yet been made,” said Greig Bethel, a spokesperson with the ministry. “We expect the hunting and trapping regulations synopsis to be finalized in May.”
The moose popula-

tion declined by 14 per cent in B.C. between 2011 and 2014, accord-ing to the provincial government. In the Bulkley Valley Lakes District, the moose population declined by 20 per cent from 2004 to 2011.
Last Sunday, mem-bers of the Tweedsmuir Park Rod and Gun Club met to discuss the moose decline in the region and the pos-sible changes in regula-tions by the ministry. In particular, mem-bers discussed what their preferred method would be to achieve the region’s annual alloca-tion - via GOS, limited entry hunting (LEH), or a combination of LEH and GOS.
According to the Skeena Hunter Advisory Committee (SHAC), an organi-zation that facilitates communications be-tween hunting interests and regional wildlife managers, the ministry of forests stated in a recent meeting that the proportion of moose harvested in the GOS is higher than the pro-portion of moose har-vested through LEH in the southern Skeena region.
Denys Bell, mem-ber of the Tweedsmuir Park Rod and Gun Club and chairman for the Skeena Hunter Advisory Committee, defends that the har-vest of moose in the Bulkley Valley Lakes District hasn’t affected the moose population.
Bell said nobody
knows for sure why the moose population has been declining in B.C., and that the decline could be linked to a combination of factors.
In order to inves-tigate the reasons be-hind the moose decline, the province launched a five-year moose re-search study in 2013. The study is engaging 11 wildlife biologists, one wildlife veterinar-ian and several other staff over its five-year duration. The province says over 200 moose will be radio col-lared, their movements tracked and all mortali-ties will be investigated to determine cause of death.
The study is ana-lysing factors such as hunting pressure, pred-ators, parasites and diseases, and climate. It will also investigate how forestry-related changes to the land-scape may impact those mortality risks.
Although the final results of the study will not be available for sev-eral years, the province says wildlife biologists will be able to use pre-liminary information to help direct management of moose throughout the province.
The Wildlife Stewardship Council (WSC), a not for profit society of First Nations and guide outfitters from across B.C., con-tends that wildlife de-clines are a direct result of a number of key fac-tors, including failure of successive govern-ments to acknowledge
many of the concerns being voiced by con-servation organizations and First Nations. In addition, the WSC says that industrial activity with little oversight or accountability has led to severe habitat degra-dation.
Lake Babine Nation (LBN) Chief Wilf Adam said he has been particularly concerned about the moose de-cline in the region be-cause LBN relies on moose for sustenance.
“We are working with the Ministry [of Forests] on the rea-sons for the moose decline and looking at all avenues for pos-sible causes,” said Chief Adam.
The B.C. govern-ment is considering putting revenues from hunting licences and tags into a dedicated fund for wildlife man-agement, forests minis-ter Steve Thomson said recently.
A similar shift was made with fishing li-cence revenue last year to boost the budget for the Freshwater Fisheries Society of B.C. by $3 million a year for its lake stock-ing program. The prov-ince is in discussions with the B.C. Wildlife Federation and oth-ers to do something similar, Thomson told Black Press in an inter-view.
He said an addi-tional $12 million in his ministry budget this year is to support wild-life inventory and habi-tat improvement.

Council chooses to continue market next to the highway
farmers’ market.”Coun. Jonathan
Van Barneveld furthered Lundrigan’s argument by saying Fourteenth Street is “one of our more narrow streets in town as well.”
Coun. Tim Anderson said he prefers having the market adjacent to the highway.
“It adds to a certain busyness down there, that I think is kind of intangible,” added Coun. Anderson, who also liked the current market being part of the BC Association of Farmers’ Market.
As part of the Market being part of the BCAFM, Houston Link to Learning receives over $4,000 in food coupons to distribute to low-income residents.
But complicating the library’s request is its lease and District bylaws.
Its current lease, expiring 2018, does not allow them to host a farmers’ market there.
Business Licence Bylaw 776 also disallows farmers’ market outside of its Saturday, 9 a.m. to
12 p.m. window. The library wanted to host it on Thursdays between 2 p.m. and 7 p.m.
Houston Link to Learning’s Marian Ells felt pleased.
“We just thought that was something solid for the community that we didn’t want to lose,” said Ells. “We’re really pleased they’re recommending that we stay as part of the BC Association of Farmers’ Market, because we know how important the coupon program is to all of the families in the community.
“I know the library probably feels it’s unfortunate, but we really feel, and a lot of other people we spoke to really felt that the location the market’s in right now is perfect, and moving it from there just doesn’t make sense.”
Library director Toni McKilligan expressed her disappointment and said she will meet with the library’s board on steps forward.
“I think that it just shows a huge lack of vision and I’m really sad to hear it,” she said.

B.C. public supports ban big money
The numbers can’t be surprising but they are interesting nonetheless.
According to a new poll from Insights West (sponsored by the non-profit Dogwood Initiative, based out of Victoria), B.C. voters overwhelmingly support a ban on corporate and union political donations.
Dogwood Initiative is a citizen group call-ing on the province to “ban big money” in politics.
The survey (you can find the full results online) showed that 86 per cent of British Columbians polled would favor bans on the corporate/union donations before the next election.
The commonly held belief is that the bigger the war chest, the better the chance of win-ning — in almost any election. Is that democ-racy in action? The report also states that B.C. is the last province in Canada to allow unlim-ited donations from anywhere in the world, including in municipal elections. The survey shows this leaves members of the public more than a little cynical about the role of ordi-nary citizens. More than two-thirds of adults polled (68 per cent) believe citizens are not influential in shaping policy in this province. The most influential group is corporations (90 per cent).
Ranked in order of influence were corpo-rations, lobbyists, foreign investors, unions and then the citizens themselves. Seems a little backward, no? Exactly how are citizens sup-posed to trust political leaders if they believe the outside influence is that strong — and they feel their own input is so undervalued?
According to the number presented in the report, basically, folks believe the system is broken. If citizens in a democracy have little faith in their own actual power, that’s a prob-lem. Obviously, it takes money to run any cam-paign. But it shouldn’t be the primary factor in anyone’s ability to get themselves elected.
What remains to be seen is how quickly the political powers give up their war chests – and how much of a fight they will put up to get citizens to where they want to be. Levelling out the playing field is long overdue.

B.C. to top up minimum wage by 40 centsBy Tom Fletcher
Black Press
The B.C. govern-ment is boosting its next scheduled increase in the minimum wage to 40 cents, bringing it to $10.85 per hour on Sept. 15.
Premier Christy Clark said Wednesday the increase is above the consumer price in-dex formula increase of 10 cents, to share economic growth and “create a fairer, more just society.”
Another 30 cent boost to the for-mula is scheduled for September 2017. Assuming the cost of living formula adds 10 cents, the minimum wage would be $11.25, which Clark said will make B.C.’s rate the third highest in the country.
NDP labour critic Shane Simpson said
this year’s increase brings B.C.’s minimum wage to seventh place among Canadian prov-inces, tied with Yukon.
“What the premier did today was a re-sponse to being embar-rassed by the fact that we were last,” Simpson said.
Clark acknowledged that the formula has seen B.C.’s rate fall be-hind. The first formula increase was 20 cents in September 2015.
The B.C. formula discounts the mini-mum wage by $1.25 for restaurant and pub servers, to reflect the in-come they receive from tips.
The B.C. Federation of Labour has been campaigning for a $15 minimum wage. It has estimated that based on the B.C. formula, it would take until 2034 to reach that level.
Simpson said the

B.C. keeping wildfire crews at home for now
The B.C. govern-ment’s oversight of mining has too few resources and inspec-tions and a lack of enforcement, increas-ing risk of another Mount Polley-type failure that damages the environment, B.C. Auditor General Carol Bellringer says in a new report.
Bellringer said hav-ing mine permitting and mine inspections in the same ministry creates an “irreconcil-able con� ict” between promoting expansion of mining and regu-lating it. She recom-mends moving the compliance and en-
forcement function outside the ministry to an independent body.
Energy and Mines Minister Bill Bennett stopped short of re-jecting that idea, but said he has found no other jurisdictions in Canada that does that, and there are important reasons for keeping it within the ministry.
His position was backed by two se-nior of� cials, Chief Inspector of Mines Al Hoffman and George Warnock, director of geotechnical engineer-ing for the B.C. gov-ernment.
Hoffman said it’s
important that the technical experts who set permit conditions and then do compli-ance and enforcement be in the same group so they know how to follow up.
Warnock used the example of the KSM mine, recently permit-ted for construction in northwest B.C. with 178 conditions.
“We know exactly what we’re looking for in those permit conditions when we go to that mine, and I don’t know how a body outside the min-istry would,” Warnock said.
NDP mining critic
Norm Macdonald said the 2014 collapse of the tailings dam at Mount Polley copper mine near Williams Lake shows the audi-tor is correct that there is not a “culture of enforcement” in B.C.
mining.An undetected
weak layer under the Mount Polley dam was the ultimate cause of the failure, but risk was compounded by high water, the lack of “beach” construction
to ease pressure on the dam and a steeper slope than what was called for in the origi-nal plans, Macdonald said.
Bennett acknowl-edged that the minis-try had too few geo-technical inspectors in 2009-10. He said the ministry accepts the other 17 recommenda-tions in Bellringer’s re-port, and is on its way to implementing them.
The government has changed the Mines Act to allow for ad-ministrative penalties to be assessed if mine operators don’t com-ply with inspection orders.
Macdonald said there have been no penalties assessed to the company operat-ing the Mount Polley mine, and no penalties have ever been assessed under the Mines Act under the B.C. Liberal government.
““Having mine permitting and mine inspections in the same ministry creates an ‘irreconcilable conflict’.”

The B.C. Wild� re Service is providing pumps and hoses to Alberta � re crews battling the forest � re threatening Fort McMurray, Alta., but aircraft and other equipment are busy with wild� res in northeast B.C.
Forests Minister Steve Thomson said
Wednesday there are seven signi� cant wild� res burning in the Peace region, with one burning six kilometres from the northern Alberta border. The Siphon Creek � re covered an estimated 9,000 hectares by Wednesday, with an evacuation alert in effect for the nearby Doig River First Nation community.
Thomson said B.C.
crews will continue working on that � re even if it crosses into Alberta, to allow their � re crews to focus on the Fort MacMurray situation. Other provinces that don’t have their own � re demands are being called on to assist Alberta, where 80,000 people have been evacuated.
B.C. Wild� re Service has four
evacuation alerts in effect in the Peace region, including one for the Beaton Airport Road � re north of Fort St. John. That � re is mostly contained at an estimated size of 7,000 hectares.

The B.C. government is prepar-ing to send medical and psycho-logical teams to help care for people evacuated from Fort McMurray, as the B.C. Wild� re Service works to contain a � re that has burned across the Alberta border north of Fort St. John.
The Siphon Creek wild� re was estimated at 9,000 hectares as it spread into Alberta on Thursday. B.C. ground crews and helicopters are working to contain it, with pri-ority on protecting the Doig River First Nation community south of the � re.
The largest B.C. � re in a clus-ter in the north Peace region is the Beatton Airport Road � re, estimat-ed at 10,000 hectares. It was listed as 85 per cent contained by Friday morning, and the Alaska Highway reopened after the � re crossed to the
west side of the highway.The Peace River Regional District
issued an evacuation order Thursday for the area around Mile 80 of the Alaska Highway and the area affect-ed by the Beatton Airport Road � re.
With eight signi� cant � res in the region keeping B.C. � re crews and aircraft busy, the province has shipped pumps and hoses to Alberta to assist. A mobile hospital and a team of volunteer counsellors, so-cial workers and psychologists was being prepared Friday to assist with evacuees in Alberta.
Ontario has sent 100 � re� ght-ers to Alberta to help with the Fort McMurray � re, which has forced evacuation of 88,000 people and destroyed part of the town. Quebec has dispatched four water bombers to northern Alberta.
Premier Christy Clark said the issue of wild� res was discussed by western premiers at their meeting in Vancouver that wrapped up Friday.

Dead Ends?Ted Jefferson gave his testimony to a crowd of prisoners
at Attica prison in the U.S.* He shared how he had tried to � nd meaning in life through “the drug scene, the pimping scene, the alcohol scene, the armed robbery scene.” His pursuit of money, ladies, diamonds and cars all led to dead ends. He was left with a dark void in his life. This path eventually led him to prison for shooting and killing his best friend in a drunken rage. All his pursuits had come to nothing and he fell to the � oor of his cell a “heap of nothing.” In desperation he called out to Jesus. Jesus answered him (Romans 10:11-13). It was like a light had come on in his prison cell. From that time forward, he started a completely new life. He shared with the prisoners how Jesus Christ changed his life and brought him hope, purpose and meaning. Now he belonged to Jesus, the true life giver. If there was hope for him there is hope for others.
Though most of us do not have a past like Ted, we need life from God just as much as he does. Sometimes our “respectable” lifestyle keeps us from seeing our absolute need for God. “There is a path before each person that seems right, but it ends in death.” Proverbs 14:12 NLT. God’s word, the Bible teaches that we are all broken and desperately in need, really a “heap of nothing” without him (John 3:16-21; Romans 3:9-26; 6:23). Yet there is hope for all who call out and put their trust in Jesus. “And this is what God has testi� ed; He has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have God’s Son does not have life.” 1 John 5:11 NLT
Are we going to insist on our ways which will eventually lead to dead ends or will we take God at his invitation to trust Jesus and follow him on the pathway of eternal life? (John 7:37,38)
Jesus said “My purpose is to give them a rich and satisfying life.” John 10:10 NLT

Northern Gateway files request for three-year extension
By Flavio NienowBlack Press
E n b r i d g e ’ s Northern Gateway � led a request last week with the National Energy Board for a three-year extension to start building its pipeline project.
In a press release, Northern Gateway says this would allow time to receive legal and regulatory cer-tainty and to continue discussions with First Nations and Métis communities. In par-ticular, it says more time is required to ad-vance dialogue with coastal communities in northwest British Columbia.
“From the be-ginning, Northern Gateway should have done a better job of building relationships with First Nations and Métis commu-
nities, particularly on the west coast of British Columbia,” said John Carruthers, President of Northern Gateway.
“While we had the right intentions, we should have done a better job of listening and fostering these critical relationships and developing our plans together as true partners,” he said.
Enbridge Inc. pro-poses the construc-tion of a 1200-km twin pipeline that would carry di-
luted bitumen from Alberta’s oilsands to B.C.’s coast, pass-ing directly through Burns Lake.
First Nations chiefs in the Burns Lake area – Wet’suwe’ten First Nation Chief Karen Ogen, Burns Lake Band Chief Dan George and Lake Babine Nation Chief Wilf Adam - have repeatedly stated they are against the Northern Gateway Pipeline project.
In June 2014, the federal government
approved the $7-bil-lion project, but im-posed 209 conditions recommended by the National Energy Board.
The B.C. Supreme Court ruled earlier this year that the prov-ince “breached the honour of the Crown” by failing to consult with First Nations on Enbridge’s Northern Gateway Pipeline project. According to the court ruling, Northern Gateway must face a provincial environmental assess-ment decision, which includes consultation with First Nations across the province.
In October 2015, eighteen lawsuits against Northern Gateway - launched by a collection of First Nations, envi-ronmental groups and a labour union - were presented in the fed-eral court of appeal in Vancouver. The litiga-tion hearing conclud-ed Oct. 8, 2015, with judges reserving their decision on whether to sustain or quash the government’s ap-proval of the project.
The federal Liberal government promised
during the election last fall to ban crude oil tanker traf� c off B.C.’s north coast.
While Trudeau has said he does not sup-port crude oil pipe-lines through B.C.’s rainforest, reports that there may be wiggle room through exemptions on that promise had Skeena-Bulkley Valley MP Nathan Cullen de-scribing the govern-ment position as “crab walking.”
“To have some-thing as so crystal clear as [Trudeau’s] commitments on the north coast tanker ban, they’re starting to what they call in politics to do the crab walk,” said Cullen. “They start in one po-sition and you can’t really tell that they’re moving, but they start sliding on over and saying ‘well, it de-pends on how you de-� ne oil,’ and ‘what is a tanker anyways?’”
Cullen said the approval of the Northern Gateway project would be a be-trayal.
- With � les from Chris Gareau
“We should have done a better job of building relationships with First
Nations,” - John Carruthers,
President of Northern Gateway.

Coastal GasLink pipeline has all the major permits to start construction
By Chris Gareau Black Press
TransCanada announced Thursday that it has all the major permits it needs to start construction of its Coastal GasLink pipeline that would bring liquified natural gas from northeast B.C. to Kitimat. It is now waiting for a final investment
decision from Shell-led LNG Canada, delayed from late last year to late this year.
TransCanada said in a re-lease that if LNG Canada ap-proved the project, construc-tion on the pipeline would begin in 2017. The route runs south of the Bulkley Valley, passing closest to the Bulkley River south of Houston as it crosses the Morice River
south of Houston.TransCanada received the
last two permits of 10 pipe-line and facilities permits needed from the B.C. Oil and Gas Commission. Eight per-mits are related to pipeline construction, with the other two for pipeline-related facil-ities: a natural gas compres-sor station and meter station in Groundbirch, and a natu-
ral gas metering station in Kitimat.
Some permits for site-spe-cific activities will be needed after construction starts, according to TransCanada communications specialist Shela Shapiro.
She added via email that 11 project agreements with First Nation groups have
See PIPELINE on Page 8
been announced, and that they are work-ing with 21 groups on long-term bene� t agreements. Shapiro added that more have been signed but not announced yet.
“The agreements we have � nalized so far are a re� ec-
tion of the balance that can be achieved. Aboriginal commu-nities do not have to choose between the bene� ts of our proj-ect and maintaining a healthy environment and a strong tradi-tional way of life,” wrote Shapiro.
She added that
of the over 350,000 hours of � eld work done on the project so far, over one-third comes from aborigi-nal participation.
“The input they provided allowed us to incorporate tra-ditional knowledge and traditional land use information into
project planning and plan a route that con-sidered this input,” added Shapiro.
The Unist’ot’en camp, led by Wet’suwet’en people and supported by e nv i ro n m e n t a l i s t s mostly from B.C. and Washington state, near the route south
of Houston has plans to expand this spring.
In January 2015, the Moricetown Band signed a provincial government ben-efits agreement on the Coastal Gaslink pipeline, which con-sists of a combina-tion of employment and environmental
funds and legacy pay-ments.
Under that agree-ment, Moricetown will receive about $6 million in ben-efits, including 37,000 cubic metres of forested land, from the deal, called a Reconciliation Agreement, which
will also help fund social programs.
The province will distribute the pay-ments as project mile-stones are reached.
The band received $998,000 when the agreement came into effect, $2.49 million when construction begins and $2.49 mil-lion once the pipeline is operating.
The deal also in-cludes the establish-ment of an environ-mental and cultural accord aimed at ensur-ing the pipeline meets the 43 Environmental Assessment Certi� cate conditions relating to Wet’suwet’en terri-tory.
Moricetown also received an immediate payment of $1.1 mil-lion as the sixteenth and � nal First Nation to enter into the First Nations Limited Partnership (FNLP) with Chevron Apache for the similarily-routed Paci� c Trails Pipeline in January 2015.
C o a s t a l GasLink received an Environmental A s s e s s m e n t Certi� cate from the B.C. Environmental Assessment Of� ce in October 2014.
“This is a signi� -cant regulatory mile-stone for our project, which is a key compo-nent of TransCanada’s growth plan that in-cludes more than $13 billion in proposed natural gas pipeline projects which sup-port the emerging liq-ue� ed natural gas in-dustry on the British Columbia Coast,” said Russ Girling, TransCanada’s presi-dent and chief execu-tive of� cer, in a re-lease.
“Acquiring these 10 permits demon-strates our commit-ment in developing this project to the highest standards of environmental pro-tection while deliver-ing bene� ts to British Columbians and Canadians for de-cades to come,” added Girling.
The Coastal GasLink project was originally announced on June 5, 2012.

Second year of B.C.’s wolf cull project has concluded
By Flavio NienowBlack Press
The second year of the B.C. government’s wolf cull project has concluded in the South Selkirk Mountains and South Peace regions.
The five-year wolf cull proj-ect was launched in January 2015. Government contrac-tors are paid to radio-collar wolves in the spring so snipers in helicopters can track and kill wolves throughout the winter.
The province says 163 wolves were killed this year - nine in the South Selkirks and 154 in the South Peace.
In 2015, 84 wolves were killed in those two regions, al-though the original goal was to remove 184 wolves. Bad weath-er and a low snowpack made it more difficult for the province to reach its initial goal last year.
The province says the con-troversial wolf cull is the best way to protect endangered cari-bou in those regions.
“Habitat recovery continues to be an important part of cari-bou recovery, but cannot ad-dress the critical needs of these herds in the short term,” said the province in a press release.
The South Selkirk herd numbered 46 caribou in 2009 declining to 12 in the most recent survey conducted in March 2016.
In the four caribou herds in the South Peace - Quintette, Moberly, Scott
and Kennedy-Siding -, pop-ulations are also decreasing and the province says wolves are a key factor, with 37 per cent of all adult mortalities have been documented as wolf predation.
Earlier this year, two envi-ronmental groups challenged the legality of B.C.’s wolf cull.
Pacific Wild and Valhalla Wilderness Society filed an ap-plication for a judicial review to determine whether the pro-vincial government’s decision to cull wolves reasonably con-stitutes proper management of wolves.
“To date, the province has neglected to protect and re-store sufficient habitat for en-dangered caribou,” said Ian McAllister, Executive Director of Pacific Wild. “We are asking the court to review whether, in the absence of sufficient, en-forced habitat protection, cull-ing wolves constitutes proper wildlife management.”
The B.C. SPCA also says there is a lack of credible sci-entific evidence to support the wolf cull and that it cannot be achieved humanely.
“Killing from helicopters, even by the most skilled marks-
man, causes excessive stress during chase and there is no way to confirm death was quick and painless,” says Dr. Sara Dubois, the B.C. SPCA’s Chief Scientific Officer.
Dubois states culling can fracture pack social structures and create an ecological imbal-ance for other species in the area.
According to the province, the operational plans for both the Selkirks and South Peace wolf cull have been indepen-dently peer-reviewed. With a wolf population estimated to range between 5300 and 11,600, the provincial government says wolf populations are plentiful, and that the grey wolf is not a species of concern in B.C.
“The risk of removing the number of wolves recommend-ed is very low, whereas the risk to pertinent caribou popula-tions of doing nothing is very high,” says the province in a press release.
