Town council carried a motion to clean Houston’s water pipes of iron and manganese deposits in preparation for a new water treatment plant. Houston currently does not have the ability to filter out these metals from its water supply and hence it builds up in the pipes. Council agreed to commission the sole bidder for the contract, SFE Global, to scour 20,400 metres of water mains for $156,000 as part of a preemptive plan to ensure clean water supply. “This last part of the project is going to be basically to scour the pipe, as over the years a lot of the manganese and iron have built up on the pipes and now what’s going to happen is the pieces will just flake off and create again dirty water,” chief administrative officer Michael
- Michael Glavin, Chief Administrative Officer
Glavin said to council. “As such, we’re trying to get ahead of that.” Pipes in Houston are made of ductile iron, asbestos concrete and PVC, to which Glavin mentioned that the interior lining of old ductile iron and asbestos concrete pipes can become porous which makes it difficult to scour perfectly. “We are going to make sure the public

Streamkeepers press on with Houston coho hatchery By Jackie Lieuwen Houston Today
Upper Bulkley River Streamkeepers are moving ahead with a small coho hatchery in Houston. They plan to build a temporary structure beside the Chamber of Commerce in Steelhead Park this
fall. There they will incubate 10,000 coho salmon eggs over the winter. If it is successful and gets enough support, Streamkeepers plan to build a permanent structure in spring 2016. The District of Houston approved the permit at a meeting

last Tuesday. Streamkeepers founder Cindy Verbeek says volunteers will build the hatchery and their goal is to finish by mid-September when the salmon come. The hatchery will be heated and have a shock absorbing platform to protect the eggs from

New water plant will filter out levels of metal deposits
WATER from Page 1 is well aware, hopefully as much as in advance as possible as to notices so that we make sure we try to minimize the impacts as much as possible,” Glavin said. This sum does include a 20-per-cent contingency meant for unforeseen issues. “There’s always going to be issues from possibility of damaging a pipe or damaging a fire hydrant in the process and we have a contingency here for that,” Glavin said. Engineering manager Don Hounsell said initial discussions with SFE Global predict they can do 1,500 to 2,000 metres per day. “They’re doing the main water lines only, they’re not doing the service lines. So there is a possibility that sometimes this material will end up in that service lines,” Glavin said. “And we will have to end up fixing that.” Upon hearing this, Mayor Shane Brienen asked if this could be avoided. “We could actually go ahead and close some of the larger service mains so we don’t have any sediment going through them,” Hounsell replied. “It would be extra work for us to actually locate them to open and close.” With the opening of the water treatment plant, Houston’s pipes will no longer see such levels of metal deposits as the plant will filter them out.

COHO from Page 1 Verbeek says the goal of the project is to revitalize the declining salmon population and enhance the endangered Upper Bulkley River. It is also to educate, raise awareness and grow appreciation for salmon. To that end, Streamkeepers plan to put in an interpretation kiosk and viewing portal if the structure becomes permanent. DFO will supply much of the hatchery equipment, as well as technical information, knowledge and training for volunteers. The Pacific Salmon Foundation gave a grant of $5,000 to help

In our opinion:
Foolish waste of federal funds
L
ast week’s news that the federal government is throwing another $12 million into the Canadian Safety and Security Program smacks of more pre-election engineering designed to reinforce the fear of terrorism. On the surface, the funding looks like another boost to law enforcement agencies to fight terrorism, something most people support. What grinds on our sensibility, however, is the large portion “aimed at countering radicalization among young Canadians.” That just doesn’t pass the sniff tests. It’s been proven ad nauseam that the more you try to reach young people already staggering down that path, the more it alienates them. The funding news might have gained credence if there was a suggestion of how the de-radicalizing would occur, but the information is so vague it could range from grouwp hugs to frontal lobotomies. The vast majority of Canadians would prefer to see that kind of cash poured into programs that make a difference for the growing ranks of our disillusioned youth. Counselling for mental health issues and victims of sexual abuse; education, shelter, health care and food for homeless youth would be more welcome. The question is, where is all that money going? And, does anyone feel any safer? Black Press

Premier names new ministers By Jeff Nagel Black Press
BC Liberal backbencher Mike Bernier is B.C.’s new Education Minister, while predecessor Peter Fassbender takes over as Community, Sport, and Cultural Development Minister, with responsibility for TransLink as well. The mini cabinet shuffle announced Thursday by Premier Christy Clark also shifts Coralee Oakes, who previously headed the ministry that deals with municipalities, to Minister of Small Business and Red-Tape Reduction, with responsibility for the Liquor Distribution Branch. Fassbender headed the province’s negotiations with B.C. teachers during last year’s strike. He held out for a negotiated
settlement the province achieved rather than legislating teachers back to work, as had been the pattern in several previous teacher strikes. The removal of TransLink from Tr a n s p o r t a t i o n Minister Todd Stone’s portfolio comes in the wake of the defeat by Metro Vancouver voters of a plebiscite on the creation of a 0.5 per cent regional sales tax to fund transit expansion. Fassbender, a Surrey MLA, has extensive history on the TransLink file as a former Langley City Mayor who once chaired the Metro mayors’ council as it tried to persuade the province to grant a new revenue source. Stone as minister made statements supportive of the mayors’ plan and the new tax but did not actively campaign for it dur-
ing the plebiscite required by Clark on any new tax. Fassbender, along with fellow Surrey MLA Marvin Hunt, was more blunt, at one point speaking out against No campaign critics of TransLink’s record. “Is it totally mismanaged? I don’t believe that, I never have,” Fassbender told Black Press in March, pointing to audits in recent years. “The previous commissioner looked at it and said it was a wellrun organization.” Metro Vancouver board chair Greg Moore welcomed Fassbender’s new role. “It think it’s a good move,” the Port Coquitlam mayor said. “He has a deep understanding of the legislation and not only the challenges but also the opportunities of being able to work together to
find solutions for TransLink.” Moore noted Fassbender, when he led the mayors’ council, was “very proud” of the agreement struck in 2010 with then-premier Gordon Campbell to negotiate a new funding source. Mayors saw Clark’s promise of a referendum as a betrayal of that deal. NDP transportation critic Claire Trevena called the shift in TransLink responsibility a “slapdown” for Stone “because he hasn’t delivered.” Bernier, a former Dawson Creek mayor with 20 years experience in the natural gas industry, is a firstterm MLA for Peace River South. Clark also shifted Naomi Yamamoto out of the small business ministry, making her Minister of State for Emergency
2009
Preparedness, underneath the transportation ministry. Jordan Sturdy is now parliamentary secretary for energy literacy and the environment under Environment Minister Mary Polak – Bernier’s previous post. He’ll also chair the province’s Climate Leadership Panel. “We have the opportunity now to build on a record of student achievement with long-term labour peace in place, to strengthen our support for small business, which is the backbone of our economy, to work together with communities to prepare for the future, and to put in place a plan to prevent and manage emergencies or natural disasters so that our province can recover with our future secured,” Clark said in a news release.

Struggling economy hot election topic By Tom Fletcher Black Press
Conservative leader Stephen Harper promised an expanded tax break for hiring apprentices Monday, as parties started an extended summer election campaign. Campaigning in Laval, Quebec, Harper announced that if his government is reelected Oct. 19, employers will receive a
credit up to $2,500 a year for wages paid to qualifying apprentices for all four years of their training. Harper’s Conservatives established the program in 2006, with a credit of up to $2,000 per year for the first two years, to encourage hiring and training. NDP leader Thomas Mulcair began his campaign emphasizing signs of weakness in the
Canadian economy, with the latest statistics showing the economy contracting in the first five months of the year. “Wages are falling, incomes are stagnant, and household debt is skyrocketing,” Mulcair said at his campaign kickoff in Hull, Quebec. “Middle-class families are working harder than ever, and can’t get ahead.” Liberal leader Justin Trudeau has also fo-
cused his campaign on middle-class voters, with a central policy of reducing tax on middle income and increasing it for the top one per cent of income earners. Green Party leader Elizabeth May began the campaign in her home riding of Saanich-Gulf Islands. Her economic platform also calls for tax increases for the highest income earners, as well as increasing cor-
porate income tax rates to 2008 levels. The early election call increases spending limits for parties and caps it for third-party advertisers such as labour unions that have been targeting Harper. It also leaves some ridings without nominated candidates. Another change is in debate formats, as first Harper and then Mulcair declined the traditional de-
bate organized by TV networks. The first national debate is set for Thursday, Aug. 6, hosted by Maclean’s magazine. Among the topics will be sharp differences over Canada’s role in the international military action against Islamic State terrorists in Iraq and Syria. Harper renewed Canada’s commitment to maintain six fighter jets and special forces
support in one of his last acts before calling the election. Both the NDP and Liberals are promising to end Canadian bombing of Islamic State positions. Mulcair would withdraw all military personnel from Iraq and Syria, while Trudeau supports keeping military trainers in place, with both promising increased humanitarian aid.
South African firefighters train in B.C. By Tom Fletcher Black Press
As forest firefighters from Ontario and Australia head home, a group of 25 firefighters from South Africa have arrived in B.C. to assist and train with crews still busy with 140 fires. Forests Minister Steve Thomson said the South Africans were to arrive in Abbotsford this week for orientation, after training with crews in Alberta. They are paired with B.C. firefighters to continue training to internationals standards, as they were doing in Alberta.
About 150 other visiting firefighters, mostly from Ontario and Australia, are expected to have headed home by Aug. 11. Thomson said there were 31 new fires started over the B.C. Day long weekend, 13 of them human caused. That includes the Wood Lake fire near Harrison Hot Springs, which expanded to 600 square kilometres early this week. After unsettled weather and thunderstorms across B.C., a high pressure ridge was expected to rebuild by Thursday, bringing more temperatures in
the upper 20s by the weekend.
B.C. wants climate action input
The first phase of public consultation for B.C.’s “Climate Leadership Plan” ends August 17. Participants are asked to complete an online survey at e n g a g e. g o v. b c . c a / climateleadership to choose their priorities for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Participants are asked to assign a point value to choices such as minimizing travel in community
planning, using regulations and incentives to encourage energy efficiency and clean technology, and requiring new

of carbon dioxide equivalent until 2018. B.C.’s greenhouse gas reduction targets call for a steep reduction in emissions, to reach a 30 per cent decrease from 2007 to 2020.
Coastal treaties move forward The B.C. and federal governments have reached agreement-inprinciple for treaties with the Kitselas and Kitsumkalum First Nations, two of five Tsimshian communities on the North Coast. The agreements set out land and cash settlements, allowing the parties to move to final agreement talks. The Kitselas agreement identifies 36,000 hectares of settlement lands east of Terrace, and a transfer of $34.7 million once an
agreement is reached. The Kitsumkalum agreement includes 45,000 hectares of land and a transfer of $44.2 million. Agreements also cover taxation, forestry, wildlife, water and subsurface resources. In late July the province and Ottawa reached agreement in principle with the Wuikinuxv First Nation at Rivers Inlet on the Central Coast, a proposed settlement including 14,646 hectares and a transfer of $7.3 million. Cash settlements are to be adjusted for inflation once final agreements are completed.

Several species of deciduous trees in this region are coming under attack from an insect that may not be native to North America. Local agencies, including the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations, have received numerous reports in recent weeks of insect attacks on willow, poplar, and some other hardwoods in the Lakes District and Bulkley Valley. The damage is so great in some areas that entire stands are infested. The culprit, according to experts, is cryptorhynchus lapathi, more commonly known as the p o p l a r- a n d - w i l l ow borer. The insect is a type of weevil; adults are predominantly black with either grey or pink scales, have long, curved snouts,

est harm; large-scale attacks can result in widespread hollowing within the trunks of trees, causing them to fall. “The adults do not cause much damage, but lay eggs at the base of (primarily) young willows,” he explained. “The larvae feed on inner bark and wood, creating holes and splits. Heavy infestation can lead to breakage and/ or death.” Lindgren indicated that although this insect population appears to be on the increase, the current infestation may not be as severe as others in the past. “They (poplar-andwillow borer populations) have been increasing slightly, but are nowhere near where they were in the 1990s,” he stated. “Most willows in Forest for the World (Prince George’s 106-hectare demonstration forest) were killed in the 1990s, when the weevils were well

at very high populations.” Recent warm winters and the rejuvenation of willow stands after the last infestation are likely to blame for the insect’s resurgence here, according to the UNBC professor. “A lot of the stems that were killed have re-sprouted, and the stems are now large enough again to support reproduction,” he explained. “The warm weather the last two years may have sped up the life cycle, which means that the population will grow faster, and they may expand further north than they have been before.” This region has seen its share of insect infestations in the past 15 years. Since 2000, the mountain pine beetle has killed nearly 723 million m3 of commercially valuable pine timber in BC, an amount equal to approximately 53 per cent of the province’s total commercial pine stands.

borer and would likely die. Within days, other trees on his property started showing signs of attack. Though disappointed that he’ll be losing the large willow, Turner takes a philosophical view. “It’s the circle of life,” he said. “Besides, I have new shoots coming up, and maybe they’ll be okay.” Although recent evidence suggests the bug may have been native to this continent, B. Staffan Lindgren, a professor of ecosystem science and management at the University of Northern BC, believes it was introduced in the 1800s from Europe. Since that time, he said, it has spread across Canada and the US. Lindgren said adult willow borers aren’t directly responsible for most of the damage being done to hardwoods here. It’s the insect’s larvae and their tunneling activities that do the great-

and can grow up to one centimeter (cm) in length. Although the bug’s preferred target is willow trees with stems between two and eight cm in diameter, it will also attack poplar, black cottonwood, birch, and some ornamental trees (though maple and apple seem immune). Tell-tale signs that a tree is under attack from cryptorhynchus lapathi include ‘flagging’ (the leaves on attacked stems turn yellow or brown), irregular splits and holes in the bark of host trees through which sap and moist red-brown and white shavings exude, and piles of shavings around the base of attacked stems. A large willow in the back yard of Burns Lake Fifth Avenue residents Dale and Maureen Turner is one tree hit hard by the insects. Dale said Friday that within a short period of time, the tree’s multiple trunks and main branches were covered with holes, and a large pile of sawdust had accumulated on the ground beneath them. “I took a look and thought: ‘Who’s been cutting the tree?’” he said. Turner sought information from the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations’ Nadina office. It was then he learned that his tree had been hit by the poplar-and-willow

HOPE forToday House or Home?
While riding in a taxi through the streets in Vancouver I noticed numerous “For Sale” signs on properties, some said “Home for Sale”. I asked the taxi driver how much houses were selling for in the area. He said almost all in that area sold for at least one million dollars. That is a lot of money just for a house! People want a house, many cannot buy one because of the price, but if we bought a house would it be a home? Can any amount of money buy a home? What is the difference between a house and a home? A house is the physical structure which people live in and a home is the place where one is accepted, feels welcome, where one knows they belong. It may have very little physical structure to it. It could even be a tent or a lean-to somewhere in the bush. Everyone wants and needs a home. It is a basic foundation of our society. A home is made up of friends, family & people who love each other. A home cannot be bought with money, but is built on love, respect, care for one another and is a place one is always welcome. (Isaiah 32:18; Ephesians 5:33) Many people have very expensive houses but do not really have a home because those living there do not have a sense of belonging. Sometimes there is discord, strife, isolation and loneliness. Lack of transparency and communication make a house a difficult place to stay in. They may have shelter but not have a home. “The LORD curses the house of the wicked, but blesses the home of the upright.” Proverbs 3:33 NLT The building code tells us how we can build a house but we build a home by following God and his word, thus having God at the center of our relationships. Jesus said, “All who love me will do what I say. My Father will love them, and we will come and make our home with each of them.” John 14:23 NLT Submitted by Ken Penner

Stress tests are now offered at the Smithers Hospital, thanks to generous community support. The Bulkey Valley Health Care and Hospital Foundation raised $40,000 for new stress test equipment, matched by Thomas Britton in memory of his brother Jim. Ted Bobb, chair of the foundation, says the new equipment is a way to “give more care locally.” “[The stress test] is important in the diagnosis of cardiac diseases, and it is also a prerequisite for many surgeries,” said Bobb. “I think it’s really important for the community: You don’t have to go to Terrace to get this done, you can have it done right at home. It’s a great thing,” said Britton. The $80,000 equipment includes a treadmill with diagnostic abilities, computer and a cardiac defibrillator. “We’ll be running clinics with it one to two times a month, based on what the need is. Our hope would be that people would be able to get in within a month or

Kinettes raised a significant amount through a Halloween dance, and the rest was donated by individuals and businesses. Bobb says the
community support for this project has been wonderful. “Without the care of people of the valley, our level of health care wouldn’t be what it is today,” he said. Northern Health spent $60,000 in renovations to make space for the equipment, and trained two nurses and one doctor to use it. The first stress tests were done July 15. Director of Patient Care Services Karen Clarke said the ma-

“This has the ability to connect to an electronic medical record, so whether that’s in a physician’s office, the technology is in the machine to transfer all the information from the test directly into the physician’s computer,” said Clarke. The equipment can also be used in emergency situations or during regular check-ups if the doctor deems it necessary according to Clarke.

Regional district overtime pay By Michael Riis-Christianson Black Press
The Regional District of BulkleyNechako’s overtime compensation policy is generally consistent with that of other local governments in Northern B.C., though most do not pay senior employees for additional time spent on regular duties. Information provided recently by the Regional District of B u l k l e y - N e c h a ko (RDBN) indicates that nine of its employees – most of them senior staff members who manage departments – received significant overtime remuneration last year. Most of that additional expense, which totaled more than $100,000, was earned in connection with the regional district’s Emergency Operations Centre (EOC), which stayed open for 92 days in 2014 and resulted in 1,001.17 hours of staff overtime. Gail Chapman, Chief Administrative Officer (CAO) for the RDBN, said last week that Emergency Management B.C., created in 2006 to be the lead provincial agency for all emergency management activities in the province, covered overtime expenses incurred by the regional district in connection with the EOC. She said, however, that some senior employees did receive overtime compensation for performing their regular duties. “Emergency Management B.C. paid for the RDBN OT,” she stressed. “As a result of the huge amount of staff time spent dealing with emergencies (EOC), there was some necessary RD OT to deal with RD work that had to be completed. Also, we were short a total of five staff throughout the year, which impacted staff workloads as well. It definitely was a nightmare year for us.” Chapman couldn’t say exactly how much of the overtime ex-
pense incurred by the regional district in 2014 related to regular staff duties. “(The) greater was definitely Emergency Management B.C. OT,” she said, adding that “some OT was taken as time-off and not paid out.” A survey of several regional districts in Northern B.C. last week revealed that most senior staff members who manage human resources or make key executive decisions are not eligible for overtime remuneration. This is in keeping with B.C.’s Employment Standards Act (ESA), which states that employees defined as ‘managers’ or ‘executives’ need not receive additional remuneration for time worked in excess of their regular hours of employment. The only exception, according to most spokesmen for the regional districts surveyed, relates to overtime worked in emergency situations. “The CAO does not receive OT for the performance of their regular duties,” Renee McCloskey, manager of external relations for the Regional District of Fraser-Fort George, stated. “There is one exception where OT is payable, and this is when fulfilling an operational role in an activated Emergency Operations Centre incident.” McCloskey said the same rule applies to the regional district’s department heads and managers. “In lieu of OT, managers receive additional vacation leave, and where a manager works a significant amount of OT in filling in for others, they may be granted additional leave,” McCloskey explained. “Our general managers and managers would fit the bill for the ESA ‘managers’ and ‘executives.’ Why? Because their duties and responsibilities are the same as those that allow for exemption.” The Cariboo Regional District has a similar policy. CAO

Janis Bell indicated that she isn’t paid for overtime and neither are her department heads – unless they spend time manning an EOC. “The exception to the ‘no overtime rule’ is related to when we have an active Emergency Operations Centre dealing with fires, floods, or other events that imperil our residents, in which case overtime compensation is paid to both union and exempt staff through Emergency Management BC,” she explained. “In 2014, of course, we had the Mount Polley incident, which took up a significant amount of staff resources for a prolonged period.” Verna Wickie, treasurer for the Regional District of KitimatStikine, made no mention of overtime paid to senior employees during emergency situations. “(There is) no overtime to any manager,” stated Wickie emphatically. “They receive two weeks in lieu of overtime. This is the policy and has been for many years, and is part of their employment.” According the Regional District of B u l k l e y - N e c h a ko ’s most recent Statement of Financial Information – Cheryl Anderson, Hans Berndorff, Gail Chapman, Janine Dougall, Deborah Jo n e s - M i d d l e t o n , Jason Llewellyn, Rory McKenzie, Corrine Swenson, and Richard Wainwright – had combined wages
and overtime totaling slightly more than $1.032 million for the year ended Dec. 31, 2014. The combined earnings of the nine employees in question represented nearly 41 per cent of the total remuneration of $2,541,925.48 paid to all regional district employees in 2014. Information supplied by the regional dis-
trict suggested that the nine employees in question earned a combined $115,693 in overtime pay last year. Chapman’s reported 2014 earnings of $207,044.56 were $48,962.65 higher than her base salary of $158,082, while the $138,812.48 paid to Berndorff last year was $23,957.48 more than his base salary of $114,855.
