Houston Today, November 25, 2015

By Xuyun ZengHouston Today

Community lead-ers raised concerns of low ridership on the Northern Health Connections bus and talked about the food drives next month at the Houston Health Education Community Services

Safety Committee (CHESS) meeting last Thursday.

Northern Health local representative Sally Sullivan revealed that she has clari� ed that the bus service transports clients to medical appointments

“I think there were a lot of people in the community that

were not aware ex-actly what the Health

Connections bus could be used for,” Sullivan

said. “It’s not limited to only physician ap-

pointment or specialist appointment.”

“That can be used for a dental appoint-ment, optometrist, anything really that has a connection with health.”

Sullivan revealed the ridership is “very low” at the meeting.

“I think that’s why they’re very lenient

about how closely re-lated to health it is, and I think until the bus is jammed packed every trip, they’re not really going to push back.”

Houston RCMP Sgt. Rose asked if the bus could be used for probation court visits in Smithers.

Report on Council

Northern Health bus available for any health appointment


The District of Houston has appoint-ed Carolyn Bidwell to � ll the position of Director of Finance.

Bidwell started her � rst day on Monday and will have the au-thority to approve investments and intra-bank transfers be-tween the District’s accounts. She will also be appointed as the collector and business licence inspector for the District.

The previous direc-tor of � nance William Wallace left his posi-tion on Sept. 11. In the interim, chief adminis-trative of� cer Michael D. Glavin took up his duties, and after the appointment of Bidwell, will become the deputy collector and business licence in-spector.

Council will also apply for grants that go toward grant writ-ing support and eco-

nomic development from the Northern Development Initiative Trust.

The District is ap-plying for a $8,000 grant that will fund 75 per cent of the � rst four months, or 400 hours, of employment for a local grant writer. The District will top up the remaining $2,500 out of its economic devel-opment services con-tract with the Chamber of Commerce.

Coun. Rick Lundrigan asked the CAO what the success rate of the grant writ-ers was.

““Carolyn Bidwell to fill the position of Director of

Finance.”

Connections bus could be used for...” - Sally Sullivan

“I can tell you we’ve been very suc-cessful for the last three years. Our grant writer was successful in obtaining the water treatment plant, and our grant writer was

successful with the water tower,” Glavin replied.

Documents from the District reveal that in 2014, it had three grants denied out of eight, while the � rst half of this year

saw seven out of eight grants approved.

The District is also applying for an eco-nomic development grant from the NDIT that will provide up to $50,000 that Glavin said will go towards “wages and programs for economic develop-ment for the economic development of� cer.”

Of this money, $5,000 must go to-wards projects with “another local govern-ment, First Nations bands and tourism or industry association,”

according District � les.

Economic develop-ment of� cer Maureen Czirfusz also released her report with data collected from 18 busi-nesses in October’s business walk survey.

It revealed that 50 per cent of businesses voted that business was “good/increas-ing,” while 33 per cent voted “fair/steady.” Seventeen per cent stated it was “slow/poor.”

Businesspeople re-sponded they liked

doing business in Houston because of its clientele and loca-tion, but 61 per cent of them found tal-ented labour hard to � nd.

Half of the busi-nesses polled also stated they don’t have a � nalized suc-cession plan, to which Lundrigan asked Czirfusz if she had discussed suc-cession challenges with the Northwest Community College. Czirfusz replied they will have an advisory committee meeting with them before the end of the year.

Coun. Dawn Potvin also asked if the next business walk, scheduled this week, will happen.

“I’m trying to line up. I haven’t been able to get anyone to agree to us visiting,” Czirfusz replied.

The Tree of Memories and HopeBy Dawn Potvin

Submitted

As Houston pre-pares for another holiday season, lo-cal volunteers from the Canadian Cancer Society are paying re-spect and memory to those who have lost their battle with can-cer or are currently battling the disease.

The of� cial fund raising kick off will take place at the annu-al Christmas Light Up on November 27th, 2015.

The tree was pre-pared by local volun-teers and thanks go out to Ken Thomson of Monster Industries for hanging the lights, providing the lift, de-livery and rental to make the tree ready for lighting.

Donations have begun to light up the Tree of Memories and Hope, located in Steelhead Park. The campaign will run from November 1 – January 30, 2015.

“Our goal is to light up all 1500 lights by December 25th.” Local organizer Sue Jones said. “The big-gest challenge is get-ting the word out.” The bulbs are pur-chased by a $5 dona-tion per bulb, and

could potentially fun-draise up to $7500 for the Canadian Cancer Society.

A website has been set up to take dona-tions – http://con-vio.cancer.ca/goto/treeofmemorieshope and along with tak-ing donations, you can provide a personal message of encourage-ment, memory, and hope to others.

While the Tree of Memories and Hope

hasn’t been offered in Houston since 2008, local Canadian Cancer Society volunteers have been working tirelessly every year in Houston to raise funds and awareness in the � ght against cancer.

Sue Jones, Karen MacArthur, Mary Johnson, Mary Robinson, Sheila Keller and countless others have made it their mission to en-courage everyone to

join this � ght, no mat-ter what time of year.

Everyone knows and loves someone who has been af� icted by the disease. They encourage all commu-nity members to show that love and support their fundraiser.

In addition to the website, coin boxes will be available through-out the community for donations, as well as a drop off for cheques and cash at the Bulkley

Valley Credit Union and Shannon Clarke Accounting of� ce.

There are many ways to donate, they are hoping that for those who can donate will show their sup-port for such a worth-while cause.

“We will be lighting the � rst lower lights next week,” Jones said. “We hope to have the whole tree lit up to the big yellow star by December 25th.”

“We have a fair number of clients that need to get to Smithers for various things, so I’m won-dering if there’s a way,” he said.

Sullivan later not-ed that she will check if this is possible.

The bus costs $20 to $80 for a return trip depending on the distance.

“I know there’s been community members who have used it to go to Vancouver for a spe-cialist appoint ment,” Sullivan said.

The bus goes to centres for medical care such as Terrace, Prince George and Smithers. It runs a Thursday service where riders can get to Smithers and back on the same day.

People looking for more information can find out more at nhconnections.ca, or call 1-888-647-6997.

Coun. Jonathan Van Barneveld sees promoting the bus as a means to ensure

its sustainability and solving transporta-tion issues.

“Now that we know the definition of ‘health’ is very broad, people can re-ally utilize that. It’s about getting infor-mation out there and educating the public

so that it eventually becomes their first option,” said Coun. Van Barneveld. “For people that don’t have vehicles, transporta-tion is a big thing, so if they realize that Thursday’s the day you can do that, then they can really coor-dinate their efforts and get ridership up.”

He also found that

the community is get-ting together for the Christmas donation drive.

“We learned there’s lots of ap-petite to coordinate and promote our Christmas gath-ering efforts, like the food drive, the

blanket drive or the jackets [drive], gifts for kids, or boxes that get shipped to poor countries,” said Van Barneveld, who chaired the meeting. “So I think that’s go-ing to be really im-portant because then we might be able to help groups either reach further into the community or really

maximize the return on raising those char-ity events.”

Van Barneveld noted the poor atten-dance of the meeting.

In addition to Van Barneveld, Sullivan and Sgt. Rose, lei-sure services director Ryan Coltura, fire

chief Jim Daigneault and corporate ser-vices officer Lindsay Blair attended. No one attended via tele-conference.

“So there’s some soul searching there we might have to do,” Van Barneveld said. “This is the second meeting where we’ve had pretty low atten-dance.”

Health bus can solve transportation issues for many

““The bus goes to centres for medical care such as Terrace, Prince George and

Smithers. It runs a Thursday service where riders can get to Smithers

and back on the same day.”

The Houston Fire Department joined in the festivities at the Serendipity Craft Sale by handing out free popcorn and hot chocolate to the shoppers. Pictured above, Cara McCormack and Ben Riley are manning the booth. They also gave shoppers the opportunity to donate to the Houston Firefighter’s “Fight Muscular Dystrophy” campaign.

Just ask and you’ll avoid

being scammedIf it sounds too good to be true, it

probably is.That’s an expression worth

remembering now – and as we get closer to the busy shopping season, a time when what we might receive at Christmas starts to cloud our minds. In fact, it’s something everyone, of any age, should have etched into their brains, as incidents of fraud and scams press on, seemingly unabated.

That may sound a tad harsh or pessimistic.It should be a good thing if someone steps

up and wants to hand over thousands of dollars for seemingly no reason. Or at least for no reason a person would reasonably expect to have anything to do with them. Unfortunately, windfalls like that are usually pipe dreams.

Whether it’s greed, a simple feeling of not wanting to upset people or for some other reason, folks fall for scams all the time. And so, the scammers keep calling, emailing and writing, hoping for a response – just enough to encourage the behaviour.

And once a person and their money are parted, it’s exceedingly difficult for the authorities to get it back.

Yet, police and financial institutions fight hard to try to prevent scams and the people who run them from taking advantage of people. Even so, we cannot rely on them. Individuals must be on guard – for the day will come when someone will try to weasel our hard-earned cash from our pockets.

When that happens, and the whole thing makes you curious or uncomfortable, just ask questions. Ask them who they are. Ask for their phone number. Ask for their boss. And then ask to phone them back.

And if you are still not feeling good about it, just hang up. It’s the equivalent of walking away from panhandlers on the street.

There are people out there who want to separate us from our money for nasty reasons. It’s up to us to know the difference between them and the legitimately good people out there. Sometimes, all it takes to be sure is to ask.

Has the internet made us ruder? By Lori Welbourne

On a brighter note

In high school I was introduced to the art of debating. I was en-thralled with the whole idea of researching a specific topic, taking a side regardless of per-sonal opinion and then displaying it in a pas-sionate and articulate presentation. It was an interesting way to learn about the subject at hand as well as honing the skills necessary for communicating and ne-gotiating effectively.

In every debate that I watched the interactions were highly respectful and void of any hostil-ity. In fact, those were the rules of the game. I didn’t participate in any verbal debates be-cause I was too afraid of public speaking when I was younger, but I did take part in writing ar-guments and counter-arguments and it was an exercise in not just re-search, but in persuasive expression.

Those types of spo-ken dialogues could also

be found less formally on radio and TV talk shows and I became an avid fan, particularly when they had to do with social issues that interested me. The par-ticipants weren’t always gracious or dignified, but the most impressive ones were.

And then along came the internet.

Suddenly informal written debates could be found anywhere and everywhere, and are now seen on various social media platforms including short tweets on twitter, long rants on Facebook and the com-ments section after any story from the media. The objections aren’t always well mannered like most of them used to be with letters to the editor written by people using their real names and providing their real addresses. They’re often so full of sarcasm, cru-elty and vulgarities that they can be difficult to read, and whatever mes-sage the writer is trying to convey is sacrificed in their presentation of it.

On my own Facebook wall I’ve post-ed many controversial subjects over the years. Sometimes the discus-sions have become heat-ed and intense, but the interaction remained re-spectful. On other posts the opposite happened with name calling, char-acter assassination and even threats.

In posts online where people don’t know each other the discussions be-come even more absurd, particularly from those using pseudonyms.

A friend who moder-ates a forum on a media site where almost every-one uses an alias said it’s shocking to read some of what’s written by cer-tain people she knows would never talk that way in person. If they wouldn’t speak directly to someone in such a fashion, why would they do it online?

Some studies have re-lated cyber aggression to road rage, claiming so-ciety hasn’t become any ruder because of the in-ternet - it’s just more vis-ible now. I think about

my own inner-vehicle venting after someone’s cut me off and it doesn’t compare to what’s seen on the internet because no one witnesses it but me. Of course, some people’s road rage can be far more dangerous than any written word.

Personally I’ve been the recipient of so much online hate and hostility over the years it barely fazes me, but I know how hurtful it can be to those who aren’t used to it and one of my good friends has been strug-gling with that lately. “They wouldn’t dare say that to my face,” she said recently in tears over heartless comments she was reading. “They shouldn’t write such horrible things.”

They shouldn’t, I agree. There’s no way of controlling that though. We can teach our chil-dren to treat others re-spectfully, and we can live by those principles ourselves, but there’s no way of suppressing how fiendishly others choose to converse. What we can control is how we

react - and not taking anything personally is the answer.

I read that in the book “The Four Agreements” about five years ago and found that particular agreement the hardest one at the time. Now I find it the easiest.

Don Miguel wrote in his book: “Nothing oth-ers do is because of you. What others say and do is a projection of their own reality, their own dream. When you are immune to the opinions and actions of others, you won’t be the victim of needless suffering.”

That’s true, and I wish I’d learned it in my youth.

One of his other agreements, to “Be Impeccable with your Word” is something all those communicat-ing badly should give a try. For that he wrote: “Speak with integrity. Say only what you mean. Avoid using the Word to speak against yourself or to gossip about oth-ers. Use the power of your Word in the direc-tion of truth and love.”

B.C. has been asked to take in 3,500 refugees from civil war and terrorist at-tacks in Syria and Iraq and is ready to do so, Premier Christy Clark says.

“The federal gov-ernment has asked us to welcome 3,500 refugees as part of this, and we’ve said yes, we think we can do that,” Clark said Wednesday. “We’ve set a million dollars aside and the federal

government has also said they’re going to restore the resettle-ment funding that was cut not that long ago.

“We are going to fund their chil-dren when they go to school, of course, and support them in � nd-ing the counselling services, the housing and general settle-ment services that they need.”

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has

stuck to his election commitment to bring 25,000 refugees into Canada by the end of December. But as lo-gistical issues and se-curity concerns have arisen, the deadline may be altered.

In his mandate let-ter to Immigration Minister John McCallum, Trudeau said a top priority is to “lead government-wide efforts to resettle 25,000 refugees from Syria in the coming

months.”Clark said the

number, timing and security screening of refugee claimants is

up to Ottawa.‘I accept their as-

“Our job in British Columbia is to wel-come them, and to make sure that we as communities and a province do every-thing that we can to make sure that they get the best possible start, so those refu-gees can start contrib-uting to our society and be a part of our

society, because that’s what they want. And that’s what we need.”

Houston Today Wednesday, November 25, 2015 www.houston-today.com 5

By Jeff NagelBlack Press

The proponent of the Kitimat Clean oil re� nery David Black says he’s com-ing around on the idea of supplying his pro-posed re� nery by rail.

Black, who is also Chairman of Black Press which owns this newspaper, said he’s been persuaded on the safety of oil by rail for two main reasons: the consistency of oil in a rail car is far differ-ent, and safer, than in a pipeline, and it re-duces costs associated with providing a dilu-ent.

Bitumen oil, he said, is a fairly solid

substance that re-quires diluent material to pump it in a pipe-line.

In a rail car it just has to be heated to be poured in and then re-heated at the other end to enter the re� nery.

For the journey the material is so sol-id that he said in the case of any derailment of the train there’s a good chance the bitu-men might not even leak out of the rail car.

“As it cools a few degrees it sets like wax,” he said. “That’s what you’re shipping. If there’s a derailment it’s not going to run out of the car.”

Oil by rail was not always in his plans

though.“I lived in Williams

Lake for 10 years be-side the rail line and I knew how many de-railments there were continually. It’s just an ongoing fact of life in the rail business,” he said. “So I thought this could be a disas-ter.”

But he said consul-tations have changed his mind.

He said the bitu-men has to be heated to 60C to be poured in to rail cars.

When it arrives at the re� nery steam coils built in to the cars are connected to live steam to loosen it again allowing it to be poured out.

“It could go by pipe too, but rail, in many ways, is simpler.”

He told a gather-ing at a Rotary Club meeting in Surrey last week that he expects six trains a day would run every four hours.

As for the over-all game plan for the re� nery, he says he had some questions regarding the site to work out before he could submit his envi-ronmental description with the government, but said that descrip-tion, the � rst step in an environmental re-view, would go in be-fore Christmas.

It’s a two year pro-cess to get permits, and he said he’ll be

seeking � nancing dur-ing that time too.

“While we’re do-ing that I have to raise $100-$200 million to do all the rest of the preliminary engineer-ing. I’ve done the � rst part, but the second part is more money than I have in my bank account.”

Once � nancing and the review is done he said it will take up to six years to construct the facility.

At those estimates the re� nery could po-tentially be running by 2023.

Black also told the Surrey Rotary Club that the federal Liberal government’s move to formally ban

crude oil tankers from B.C.’s north coast means the Northern Gateway pipeline plan is “pretty much dead” but that shouldn’t

block tanker exports of re� ned fuel, which would be less dam-aging than a spill of crude or bitumen at sea.

B.C. ‘ready’ for 3,500 Syria refugees

By Robin Vander HeideRobin Vander HeideRobin Vander HeideRobin Vander Heide

Tracy Holmes/Black PressVictoria businessman David Black spoke to Rotarians in South Surrey Nov. 18 about his proposal for an oil refinery in northwestern B.C.


The Legion wants to attract more people to patronize it by offering more food options but it needs $17,000 for an automated oven.

Members want to buy an Ovention Oven, which they say can cook 300 different meals automatically including pizza, ribs, potato skins and � nger food, which represents a huge step up from the potato chips they currently serve.

“It’s basically an automated oven that controls heat, temperature, the cooking product,” fundraising chairperson Wade Anundsen said. “You put a frozen pizza in, you hit frozen pizza on the screen. It automatically loads onto the oven, goes to the temperature it’s required to cook that. When it’s done, it kicks it out.”

“You can preload the other side so you can have two orders ready to go at once.”

At the end of the day, they still need the community’s help.

“The biggest thing is people are coming down to the Legion and the � rst thing they say is, ‘Do you have food?’ ” Anundsen said. “So we’ve got to � nd some way to capitalize and we kind of got to [be] quicker than saying, ‘We’re waiting, we’re waiting.’ ”

“We’ve decided to reach out to the community and take it to the businesses, the contractors, the everyday person.”

People who would like to donate can go to gofundme.com/operationkitchen, or drop off their donations at the Legion or Bulkley Valley Credit Union, or send a donation by mail to PO Box 719, Houston, B.C. V0J 1Z1.

Anundsen has considered other options including hiring a cook and a waiter that will walk to and from the second-� oor kitchen, but

decided against it because of the risk and increased cost. He also looked at putting in a dumbwaiter but said installing that costs an “astronomical” $50,000.

“We were looking at putting deep

fryers and stuff like that, but then you have the cost of a hood and you have to have � re suppression and stuff like that,” Anundsen said. “Those are costs that are way out of our reach.”

Students from Houston Secondary School will also help the Legion.

“I’ve talked to the high school and the principal up there,” Anundsen said. “She said there are some students are very interested in coming [to help us].”

Fundraising committee secretary Joanne Woodbeck said the students will build countertops, cupboards and plumbing in two to three days for work experience credit.

OPERATION KITCHEN

As you know, the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 249 has been a strong pillar in our

community since 1954. Over the years, the legion faced some hard financial times and came

close to shutting its doors. However, with a determined group of volunteers and Executives,

we are starting to rebuild.

By capitalizing on changes within our community, we increased our memberships, continued

providing services and support to our local Veterans and their families, Seniors, and started

hosting community events.

In the coming year, our plan is to continue to build upon this success and meet our Veterans’

needs and interests. Our first goal in 2016 is to build a new kitchen, to be located downstairs

in the legion. This is a big objective, and we need your help to make this a reality. Our first

purchase is an Ovention Oven, this will allow us to open the kitchen immediately and start

providing meals to our Veterans and the community at large.

Thank you for your continued support. We wish you a happy and healthy holiday season.

Sincerely,

Wade Anundsen

Chairperson, Fundraising Committee

Snow Clearing Operations Property owners are reminded that basketball stands placed on the roadway must be removed.

The District will not be responsible for any damage during snow clearing operations.Please help the Public Works crews to keep the streets clear of snow this winter.

Snow removal operations start at 5:00 am, seven (7) days/week as required.Residents are reminded:

• to keep parked vehicles off roadways and streets while crews are in the area clearing snow from streets; • it is the responsibility of individual property owners to clear snow from sidewalks adjacent to their property; and, • snow removal from private property cannot be put on municipal property.

Your patience is appreciated as driveways cannot be cleared by operators during regular snow removing operations. The roads are cleared on a fi rst priority basis with one travel lane each way, with a fi xed blade truck that plows to the right only. This results in snow being pushed to the curb and into driveways.

When road and street widening is done, crews try to clean driveways; however this work depends on the amount of snowfall. A heavy snowfall takes 4-5 full days to clear and remove the piled snow. When other emergencies occur, employees are taken away from their regular duties and the operation slows down.

Snow removal and ice control will be performed in the following order of priority:

HOPE forHOPE forHOPE forforTodayTodayOur Leaders

We have a new majority Federal Government elected by the people. We may or may not have voted for them. We may be happy with the results or we may think they “are not ready”. Yet they are now our governing authorities, they are in power and need to make decisions that will affect every one of us. If we disagree with them, should we loath them and with contempt hope they mess up and make fools of themselves? What should be our response?

First of all, we read in God’s word that every one of us is absolutely dependant on our creator God. Our life and every breath is from him (Acts 17:24-26). We would not exist if it were not for God. All authority comes from him (Colossians 1:15-17). Our leaders are just as dependent on God as anyone else, if they recognise it or not. They have been placed in their various positions of power by God.

Secondly, we are instructed in God’s word to respect and pray for our governments, even to submit to their authority over us (Romans 13:1-7). When we do this, we are recognising God’s supreme authority over us all, including those he has given to serve under him as our leaders. Thus when we are antagonistic, rebellious and belligerent towards those in authority over us, we are being antagonistic, rebellious and belligerent towards God. If this is where we � nd ourselves, we are really more friends of anarchy than friends of God. We are in need of a change of heart. Only Jesus Christ can cause a true change of heart as we surrender to him (Psalm 2:12; 32:5; Matthew 5:8; Romans 10:9-13).

Considering this, let us humbly come before Jesus asking him to give us a clean heart and right attitude towards him and those in authority over us, so we can rightly pray for them and be an encouragement rather than a hindrance (Hebrews 12:1-3).

“I urge you, � rst of all, to pray for all people. Ask God to help them; intercede on their behalf, and give thanks for them. Pray this way for kings and all who are in authority so that we can live peaceful and quiet lives marked by godliness and dignity.” 1Timothy 2:1-2 NLT
