Five graduates from Houston Christian School celebrated with proud family, friends and school staff last Thursday. L-R are: Lucas Bishop, David Euverman, Jason Lieuwen, Derek Kronemeyer and Evan Vandenbrink. The guys are going on to pursue education in forestry, biology and welding, and one may be considering entreprenuership in Houston. See more on this year’s Houston graduates in our special grad section: pages 7-15.

The Ministry of Transportation is paving Highway 16 through Houston this August. The project will cover 48 kilometres of the highway, starting at the overpass on the west end of Houston and going east to Bye Road near Uplands. The Hot-in-Place resurfacing involves a paving train, which heats the asphalt and mixes it with new asphalt before smoothing it back onto the road. Glavin says it extends the life cycle of pavement for up to ten years. It will take about three days total to do both sides of the highway in Houston. Glavin says they will have continuous

single lane traffic with delays up to 10 minutes. The paving starts August 4 and is expected to be done by September 26. The District of Houston is also looking at partnering with the Ministry to get a deal for other paving in town. Glavin says it will not affect a Highway 16 redesign project which the District is lobbying for.
District seeking grant for Community Hall renovations By Jackie Lieuwen Houston Today
The District of Houston wants to refurbish the Community Hall. They are applying for a $125,000 grant from the Canada 150 Community Infrastructure Program to cover half of the project. If successful, the
District will work the $245,000 project into the next five-year budget. Director of Finance William Wallace says that “of all the buildings in the District, the Community Hall is in the worst shape.” Asked about the lifespan of the building, Wallace said it has no fundamental
issues and the foundation is good. “If this all went ahead, my understanding is that this building would be in pretty solid shape for 10 to 15 years without any further big investments,” he said. Wallace notes that increased taxes from heavy industry is specifically for

infrastructure projects like this. Councillor Dawn Potvin said the
District could also apply to Northern Development Initiative Trust to
cover a second big portion of the project. The project would fix the hall roof, redo the exterior, and make the building much more energy efficient, Glavin said. Renovations will not cover any of the downstairs. Wallace says a total refurbishment would cost over $500,000. The Canada

Fifteen firefighters battled a blaze at Houston Forest Products last Thursday. The Houston Fire Department was called at 8 p.m. about the fire burning in the old coffee room near the HFP beehive burner. “The building was fully engulfed and pretty well destroyed by the time we got there,” said Fire Chief Jim Daigneault. A skid steer was also burning and sawdust bin nearby, which was across the tracks at the back of the HFP lot. Daigneault says high winds carried

Margaret Speirs Cops and courts reporter for The Terrace Standard. Her coverage keeps law and order front and centre for readers.
With a few keystrokes you can sample thousands of opinions, aoat in a sea of information.
But as the volume increases, the accuracy and reliability of professional journalism is essential. Gathering and sorting the facts, weighing and interpreting events, and following the story from beginning to end is more important than ever.
In 1956 my father bought a brand new Pontiac car. He picked it up at the dealership and proudly drove it home. It was two-tone, white and light blue, with lots of chrome, a very fine car indeed. I am sure heads turned as he drove past his neighbours and friends. But as he pulled it into the driveway something went wrong, suddenly it stopped and the wheels refused to turn. The brakes were locked up, no movement was possible forward or backwards. The car, with new seats, glossy paint, and chrome was immobilized and in an absolutely useless state to him or anyone else. It was towed back to where it came from. The mechanics investigated and found the brakes were installed backwards at the factory and thus tightened up until the wheels would not turn. This is similar to what happens when we resist the working of God in our lives. He wants us to come to him so he can deal with those things that immobilize us; our sins, our selfish attitudes, our pride and selfsufficiency. He wants us to be saved and set free to be all he wants us to be. Yet we tend to resist his call and resist his work and thus we become immobilized. No matter how good things look, all that we thought was so valuable becomes useless; our possessions, our program, our wealth or our retirement plan; they will all come to nothing. Everything will become futile in the end unless we turn to him in repentance and humility, to surrender our lives to him so he can give us life that lasts forever. God’s word spoken through Isaiah some 2700 years ago, still applies to us today. “’Come now, let us reason together,’ says the Lord. ‘Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall be as wool. If you are willing and obedient, you will eat the best of the land; but if you resist and rebel, you will be devoured by the sword.’ For the mouth of the LORD has spoken.” Isaiah 1:18-20 NIV Submitted by Ken Penner

retardant, firefighters contained the blaze. They left at 11:30 p.m. the same night. Daigneault says the cause of the fire is “too hard to determine, because the building is
completely destroyed.” Houston Fire Department also extinguished a small blaze in the walls at DH Manufacturing 1:40 to 4:12 a.m. June 25.

In our opinion:
Next steps: Education
O
ne of the key cornerstones in moving forward from the federal Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s revelations of the effects of residential schools is improving access to education for aboriginal young people. For all of the criticism laid against the federal Conservative government for any number of real or perceived actions, it did prepare legislation offering up an additional $1.9 billion to do just that for on-reserve schools. In this, credit must be given to Shawn Atleo, the National Chief of the Assembly of First Nations. From B.C., Mr. Atleo was first elected in 2009 and again in 2012. Educational opportunity was – and remains – a passion of Mr. Atleo who found enough common ground to support the proposed legislation. Yet political infighting within the assembly over perceived problems with the legislation soon focused on Mr. Atleo who resigned in May 2014, saying, in part, he wasn’t prepared to be a “lightning rod distracting from the kids and their potential.” Whether there were actual problems with the legislation or whether the situation was exploited by Mr. Atleo’s opponents is up for debate. When Mr. Atleo resigned the federal government said the legislation would remain on hold until it had the backing of the assembly. The federal election this fall presents another opportunity to revisit the issue. And to remember what the goal is about in the first place. - Terrace Standard, Black Press

How can we stop dog theft? By Lori Welbourne On a brighter note
In the last year and a half at least 22 dogs have been stolen in the Okanagan and at least 52 more have vanished without a trace. Our beloved dog Charlie was one of them. When he went missing and an extensive search failed to find him or any remains, we were left wondering if someone took our boy. When I started connecting with other people missing dogs, I was alarmed at how many there were. To see if it was higher than normal, I asked Gina Knutsen who runs a page on Facebook called Okanagan Lost and Found Pets. “It used to be that when a dog went missing it was found,” she said. “Not always with a happy ending, but at least the families would have some closure. Lately more and more dogs have been
just disappearing, and it’s clearly not all because of wildlife.” At about the time we lost Charlie, Brad Tanner found his family’s dog Chocco, but it was not the happy ending they wanted. Brad, a safety manager in the oil fields, conducted a public and exhaustive fourweek search which found that their chesapeake had been shot at point blank range to the back of his head eight miles from home in Fort St. John. “I have no idea who murdered him,” he said. “But if they did it to make me abandon my quest to find out who took him and crack down on dog theft everywhere, they’ve failed completely.” Brad didn’t know about all the dogs being stolen until Chocco vanished. Unlike the Okanagan, where dog flipping seems to be the biggest reason for
these thefts, in his area dog fighting seems to be the main motive. Of course dogs are taken for other things too, like breeding, lab testing, revenge, ransom and the unthinkable. “Whatever the reason, whoever is taking our family members needs to be found and this needs to be stopped,” Brad said. “It’s up to the community to make that happen.” When Chocco was stolen Brad faced a lack of direction, like most of us, when time is of the essence. “There were too many rescue groups to contact effectively,” he said. “Shelters, dog controls and vet clinics were not helpful after hours, and legislation doesn’t exist to help with a stolen dog.” He found the local governmental borders, boundaries and jurisdictions had little to no connection making it difficult to organize
a search. He created “Chocco’s Sea of Green” to help pet lovers work together. It has two main components: a network of pet lovers, and central social media with detailed ID system. With Sea of Green, pets are identified with a green tag, and stickers and signs are put up in driveways and car windows to identify members, warning potential thieves that they are in a pet safe community. The program also includes PetLynx, a company with a database of about one million registered pets. “PetLynx helps about 2000 animals get home every month in Canada,” Brad said. “This online database is already in place and it’s the only automated recovery system that allows anyone to post free lost and found reports that facilitate instant online sharing of
2009
pet information across North America when a pet goes missing.” PetLynx is to reunite missing pets with their families, and Sea of Green is to repel thieves, cutting down on the need for such a service. “It’s exceedingly difficult retrieving a stolen dog,” Brad said. “The key is to try and prevent it from happening.” Brad advises to never leave your dog unattended in an unlocked area, spay or neuter so it’s not a target for breeders, and use a microchip just in case your pet shows up as a found animal out of province one day. The RCMP support Sea of Green, confirming a noticeable drop in calls about theft attempts and missing dogs in the Fort St. John area. This is a goal pet owners should aim for in our community and across North America.

Legislature back July 13 for LNG deal The B.C. legislature is being recalled July 13 to examine and approve a 25-year tax and royalty agreement for B.C.’s first major liquefied natural gas investment. Finance Minister Mike de Jong said Tuesday a project d e v e l o p m e n t agreement for Pacific Northwest LNG’s pipeline and export terminal near Prince Rupert has been approved by the energy companies proposing
the investment of up to $36 billion. The project still needs federal environmental approval and an agreement with Coast Tsimshian and other First Nations in whose traditional territories the pipeline and shipping facilities would be built. Members of the Lax Kw’alaams Band voted down an offer from Pacific Northwest LNG in May, citing concern about the terminal’s
impact on salmon habitat in the Skeena River estuary, despite a design change to build a bridge for the pipeline above the area known as Flora Bank. The province revealed the general outlines of the project agreement in May. It provides minimum gas royalty revenues for B.C., with increased revenue to the investors if the spread between North American and
Asian prices increases during the term. It also provides for compensation to the investors if future governments impose “discriminatory” increases to carbon tax or greenhouse gas regulations on LNG plants during the next 25 years. NDP leader John Horgan said he is concerned that the B.C. Liberal government overpromised the benefits of LNG development and may now be
offering “too much lolly” to land the first big deal. Pacific Northwest is a consortium led by Malaysia’s s t a t e - o w n e d energy company P E T R O N A S , its Canadian subsidiary Progress Energy, Chinese state firm Sinopec, Indian Oil Corp., Japan Petroleum Exploration Corp. and Petroleum Brunei. The B.C.
government approved a separate 3.5 per cent LNG income tax last fall, and passed legislation to control the amount of property tax the local government can impose on the project. Limits were also placed on conventional pollution and greenhouse gas emissions from the project, with carbon offsets required if the operation exceeds 0.16 tonnes of carbon

Mining activity picking up in B.C. By Tom Fletcher Black Press
The Red Chris copper and gold mine in northwestern B.C. is ramping up production after overcoming protests, declining metal prices and three reviews of its tailings facility. Imperial Metals received its Mines Act permit for Red Chris June 19, after additional scrutiny of the open-pit mine’s construction in the wake of the August 2014 tailings dam breach at the company’s Mount Polley mine near Williams Lake. That breach
triggered independent reviews of nearly 100 mine tailings ponds with permits across the province, looking for design or operational weaknesses that indicate risk. The Tahltan Nation commissioned its own assessment of Red Chris, located 18 km southeast of the Tahltan village of Iskut, before community members voted 87 per cent in favour of a benefits sharing agreement for the mine. Powered by BC Hydro’s new northwest transmission line, the project will truck ore concentrate to the bulk shipping terminal
Ministry of Energy and Mines photo
The Red Chris mine near Iskut is moving to full operation on one of the world’s largest copper and gold deposits. at Stewart near the Alaska border. Energy and Mines Minister Bill Bennett
said mines like Red Chris can operate profitably even in the current low-price
market for copper, if their processes are efficient. Imperial Metals conducted drill
tests showing highergrade copper and gold deposits deep below the surface ore body. Imperial has applied for a permit to reopen Mount Polley, using an empty pit to hold tailings as work continues to repair the dam and remediate the washed-out creek below. Bennett said inspectors are expected to make a decision on that permit in July. Another mine expected to begin operation this summer is Brucejack, an underground gold mine 275 km northwest of Smithers. Underground mines produce less waste
rock than openpit operations, and Brucejack’s owner Pretivm plan to return some of the rock underground as cemented paste. A n o t h e r underground mine preparing for operation is Silvertip, an ore deposit near the Yukon border that was first identified in 1957. The province and the Kaska Dena First Nations signed an engagement agreement in 2012, determining a structure for resource permits for Silvertip and other projects covering millions of hectares on northern B.C.

elcome administration, staff, family, community members and of course the class of 2015. I would like to send out a thank you to my fellow graduates for allowing me to be the class valedictorian and to represent such an amazing group of people. I’m still wondering how, out of all of us graduates, I was chosen to be valedictorian. I am not a genius like Alyssa Margerm or Taylor Johnson and I’m not a stand out athlete like Trent Siemens, but along with the people sitting behind me I know how hard we have all worked to get to this day and celebrate our high school graduation. Over the last five years here at Houston Secondary, we have learned a lot. Mr. Beck taught us how to use the Pythagorean theorem, Ms. Quanstrom taught us how to read Shakespeare, and Mr. Anderson taught us how to be successful in the ever so addicting app Clash of Clans. And all of this knowledge will no doubt be valuable as we go forward in life, but I think that the most important thing that we have learned over the last five years is having the ability to always set personal goals. Over the next few minutes, I’d like to talk about what we’ve learned and on behalf of my fellow graduates thank the people who helped us get here. First, I’d like to let the grads know that I promise I’ll make it quick. We’ve made it through 5 years of high school. Now I bet all you want to do is sit up there and listen to my speech before we all get our diplomas, and get this tassel that is frighteningly similar to a cat toy switched to the other side of our pompous grad caps and finally get to officially say those three words we have all waited impatiently to say, ‘we made it’. I told you that the most important thing that we learned was the ability to always set goals for ourselves. Let me give you some examples of what I’m talking about. If any of you stumbled upon Mrs. Letkeman’s music class you would have heard blaring instruments and loud voices. If you listened closely you would hear Kamalpreet Parhar and Chloey Hamer just jamming away. It was as if growth was always imminent whenever our class set our minds to anything. Even on the rugby field Rebecca Ells, Kaylin Holland, Leilah Weibe and I started out as timid junior players who hated making tackles, but loved to watch from the safe and secure vantage point of the side lines. We looked up to the grade 12’s, but couldn’t imagine being grade 12’s. Now I look at us and I am so proud of how far we have come and the leaders we have become. Another person that comes to mind when I think about reaching their goals is Katie Ball. She has strived for perfection since the first time she laced up her figure skates. She spent years and years forcing her mom to wake up before the crack of dawn to drive her to the rink for morning skates and this past season she was looked up to by all the skaters as the coach of the Houston Figure Skating Club. For two athletes this year, their passion for their sports and their personal goals took them out of Houston. Malerie Kelly was the starting goalie for the Terrace Kermode’s Female Hockey team, she lead them to provincials and also Harpreet Parmar who despite our constant jokes about him being a ‘trader’ played basketball for the Smithers Gryphons and went to AAA zones back in February. I could never name everyone in our class and their wonderful accomplishments because then this speech would be never ending. Our class always knew that success wouldn’t be easy with the constant obstacles in our paths such as the choice of going to the gym that is a 5 minute drive away or going to our computer 5 steps away and playing League of Legends instead. We had to choose between sitting at home with our instruments or going to 711 and the always pressing decision between working in our spare block on that project that is due in an hour or going to A&W. But we knew we could reach our goals if we put in the hard work and used our determination to our advantage. Next, I’d like to take a moment on behalf of myself and all the great people sitting behind me to thank the people that have brought us here. I’d like to thank Mr. Batley for reminding us that we are all creative and believing in us even when our art projects were so far gone we didn’t even believe in ourselves. Mr. Jackson’s passion for rugby helped us realize that it is important to keep that passion even during our adult years. He also proved to us that you can rant about literally anything, for example the legendary ketchup vs mustard rant of 2013. Thank you to Mrs. Niven for showing us that with hard work and few lunch time periods academically we can do anything. Mr. Burns for being a constant in our high school career, because you know the sarcasm is go-
ing to come in constant waves. It’s like this man just never stops. Mrs. Doyle for never giving up on us and even at the expense of her own stress taking on trips to Europe every two years, I couldn’t imagine having to babysit Shad Anderson in Europe, what a task that must’ve been. Thank you to Mr. Richmond for reminding us that you can in fact be good at every Keely Williams single sport. I will bet any of you students sitting in the crowd five dollars **hold up five dollar bill** to find one sport this man isn’t good at. And thank you to the always so kind Mrs. Richmond who is always smiling, and always willing to be there for us. Thank you to the EAs for putting up with us. Thank you to the custodians for cleaning up after us and a big thank you to Amanda Clee and Ruby Kenzle who I’m sure keep this whole school running smoothly. I think many of us don’t realize how blessed we are to be going to school at HSS. The teachers here are amazing and in my opinion don’t get the recognition they deserve. We walked into grade 8 scared and nervous, but you helped us achieve our goals and be successful. And, I know for a fact that sitting in the crowd there are more than a couple proud, crying mothers and tough dads holding back the tears, but just remember that we will always be your babies. You’re more than appreciated. We see now that those years of us sitting at the dinner table until 11 o’clock at night working on math was not a punishment. You wanted us to succeed and look where we are now. We’re prepared to take on the world and it is all because of your unconditional love and commitment to shaping us into the great people we are today. We’re here, because of you. Now, I also realize all you grade 8s, 9s, 10s and 11s sitting out there feel like this day will never come because every year in the past I felt the same way. But I want you to enjoy every day you have in this amazing experience we call high school because when you get to put on this cap and gown I hope you don’t have any regrets about your high school experience. Play sports, join clubs, make friends because that’s what makes this journey so awesome. I’m sure some days you’ll be sure that all the teachers discuss at their staff meetings are how they can manage to put a math, science and French test on the same day. You’ll roll your eyes when you’re sent to your room to study social studies instead of being able to walk downtown, but, don’t get your hopes up. It won’t get any easier. No, Mr. Lukasek’s tests will never get any shorter. Just remember though that there are so many people cheering you on and wanting you to succeed. In grade 12 you’ll realize that all that nagging and pushing everyone did to make work harder was done purely because they cared. Quickly before my speech comes to a close, I would like to say a special thank you to the teachers that are leaving HSS. To Mr. Yeker I hope you enjoy your retirement and thank you for being such a great teacher. This school will not be the same without you. Also, Mr. Jackson who is leaving HSS to take a job on Vancouver Island, I think we all can agree that you will be missed. You’ve been an amazing principle and rugby coach. Through out our five years here you were always there to keep our heads high on and off the rugby field. So now it’s time for me to address the graduates. We made it guys. We’re highschool graduates. Now it’s time to set new goals. Whether it be travelling the world, going to postsecondary or even if you just don’t know what you want to do yet, we all just need to take a deep breath and take on the world. It’s time for us to say our goodbyes. There will be hugs, and tears but now it’s time to live our lives. As a final thought going forward, I’d like to leave you with a quote from J.R.R Tolkien’s trilogy the Lord of the Rings He wrote ‘Even the smallest person can change the course of history’ So grads keep your goals big and your egos small. Thank you all.
We congratulate you for your school successes and wish you the best of luck in the future. Remember that your family, friends, and past teachers, will always be there to help you through “life’s bumps”. from the Board of Education, School District #54 (Bulkley Valley)

reetings, Teachers and Staff of Houston Christian School. Welcome families of the Grads. Today we celebrate the transition from our life as students, and look forward to our move into adulthood. Together we pray and ask God’s providence throughout this process. As I stand here, I feel nervous, hoping I make an okay speech. As I think about how nervous I am I can see it relates to us as graduates and our futures. I have prepared for this speech just as we have been prepared for our future, though maybe not quite as last minute. I hope that it goes well, just as we hope in the LORD that our futures also go well. I am here to represent our grad class: less so because I am a leader, and more so because no one else wanted to do this speech. We are not the best when it comes to public speaking, and I’m sure that the other 4 would agree with that. For the past nine years the five young men you see before you have been students at Houston Christian School. Half of our lives spent with
Congratulations As you turn the page to the next chapter, the future is yours to write. Fill it with new experiences, good people and rewarding choices that help make the world a better place.

the same 5 guys. Over those years we may not have always gotten along perfectly, but we were a family, and God was watching over us. We started out like those little ones we just had up on stage, unfortunately no girls though. I would like to take some time now to thank some of the many people who helped make us who we are. Thank you to our friends who showed us the value of belonging and the free power of laughter. Thank you to our youth leaders and counselors who selflessly shone Derek Kronemeyer with the light of Christ’s love. Thank you to our pastors and spiritual leaders who taught us of Christ’s love through His Word. Thank you to our families and extended families who came today for showing us that a family is priceless. Thank you to our teachers who constantly gave of your time to make sure we knew what we needed to know, whether that was the alphabet or pre-calculus. And finally, Thank you to our parents who have put up with us for the past 18 years. Thank you for all of your countless sacrifices, such as changing our diapers, changing our tires, and changing our hearts. And thank you for giving us the privilege of attending Houston Christian School, which ultimately led us to this final night. And now we are here ready to start a new chapter of our lives, some of us are unsure of where we will go, how we will get there, and what we will learn along the way. But there is One who does know exactly where we will go, exactly how we will get there, and what we will learn along the way. And it is my hope that when His plan is revealed we will all remember our theme for tonight. All of us have worn it on our backs; most of us played sports with it on our jerseys. I Corinthians 10:31: whatever you do, do it all to the glory of God. Lucas, as you work to pursue a Red Seal to be a heavy duty mechanic at Pacific, do it to the glory of God. David, as you study to earn a degree in Kinesiology at Kings, do it to the glory of God. Jason, as you study to earn a degree in Forestry at UNBC, do it to the glory of God. Evan, when you discover God’s plan for your life, do it to the glory of God. Now I would like to conclude with a short quote from C. S. Lewis. “A man can no more diminish God’s glory by refusing to worship Him than a lunatic can put out the sun by scribbling the word ‘darkness’ on the walls of his cell.” Friends, I pray that you will not be lunatics, but rather, be men who glorify God. Thank you.
Congratulations to the
Graduating Class of Houston Secondary School & Babine Elementary School Well done to each and every one of you! Best wishes for an exciting future filled with new beginnings.

High school students will soon not be allowed to drive to a different community for school activities. It is part of what School District 54 will include in their student driving policy. It will also require student drivers to have parental permission to drive to and from school. Students will not be able to drive between Houston and Smithers for school functions
“
“Students will not be able to drive between Houston and Smithers.”
because of school liability, said SD54 Secretary-Treasurer Dave Margerm. “If there was to be an accident with a student driving in unsafe conditions at that distance, we would be questioned,” he said. Margerm says curricular travel should be organized by the school, especially at such distances. “Once you open that door to distance travel, then we’ll be questioned on driving to Rupert, Terrace, Hazelton, Vanderhoof. Where do you draw the line?” Margerm asked. The policy is being discussed this summer and will be finalized in September or October.
