The District of Houston maintains the local dykes using provincial grant funding.

Houston got $297,680 in a Small Communities Grant, which is given annually to help sustain basic services in smaller communities like Houston.

Director of Finance William Wallace says the funding will be used for dyke maintenance and general services.

“A lot of that money goes for general purposes... and for dykes, since if things go wrong the Province directly pays the emergency bills.”

Nechako Lakes MLA John Rustad made the funding announcement last Tuesday.

“These grants are incredibly important to rural communities, especially given the smaller tax base they have to work with,

versus the amount of services they provide to the community,” said Rustad in a recent news release.

“The funding will be well used and demonstrates our government’s commitment to build stronger, vibrant communities in every region of the province.”

Similar funding is also given to other municipal governments in the area.

Burns Lake got $309,218, Fort St. James $236,969, Fraser Lake $216,762, Vanderhoof $325,344, and the Regional District of BuckleyNechako got $122,431.

This funding is part of almost $74 million being invested in communities throughout B.C. this year in SCIF grants including Small Community Grants, Regional District Basic Grants and the Traffic Fine Revenue Sharing Program.

Houston proposes upgrades to Jamie Baxter Park

The District of Houston is proposing upgrades for Jamie Baxter Park.

In June, Mayor Bill Holmberg reported that Doug McRae, Director of Dungate Community Forests,

offered the District $50,000 for a project that would benefit the community as a whole.

At last Tuesday’s meeting, council agreed on Jamie Baxter Park.

PARK from Page 1 “They don’t have a lot of capital costs… and they tend to really draw kids,” Guenther said, adding that it’s good for children six to seven years old and for older youth and teens.

It’s $8,000 and they’re expecting donated time and materials to drop it to $3,000, and maintenance is minimal as the track has a clay cap, he said.

The playground is the biggest part of the proposed upgrades, costing about $35,000 and including upgrades to the picnic table and bench.

Director of Leisure Services Ryan Coltura said the park could be a focal point in Houston if people were drawn by a nice playground on top

of the ball diamond, skateboard park and Amphitheatre.

Asked why they focused on Jamie Baxter rather then Four Seasons Park, Coltura said it’s because the use of Four Seasons is declining, and upgrades to the ball diamond last year did not serve to increase the park use.

“What we could spend at Four Seasons would not make as big an impact as what we could do at Jamie Baxter,” Coltura said.

“We are looking possible upgrades to the ball diamond at Jamie Baxter to accommodate the usage at Four Seasons.”

Councillor Shane Brienen asked if they considered lighting.

“It all costs money but it would be nice to see if anything can be done cheaply there.”

Guenther agreed

it was a good idea, adding that solar light technology has changed dramatically and may be cheaper now.

C o u n c i l l o r Jonathan Van Barneveld said that with the contingency built into the project’s

budget, there may be funds left to use for lighting.

“It would be a shame to invest dollars there and then have it vandalized,” he said.

In our opinion:

Energy savings offered to lowerincome families

B

C Hydro and FortisBC are expanding their low-income energy conservation programs to reduce the impact of rising electricity costs.

One program offers free energy saving kits, including compact fluorescent light bulbs, weatherstripping, thermometers to optimize operation of the fridge and freezer and a highefficiency shower head. The other offers free home energy evaluations to see if they home qualifies for an energy-efficient refrigerator or extra insulation.

Energy Minister Bill Bennett said the government changed regulations to increase the low-income cutoff to qualify for the programs. A family of four earning up to $57,200 can now qualify, up from $44,000, a change Bennett said will almost double the number of households who are eligible.

The threshold for a two-person household is $47,100.

Customers of the two utilities have to apply and provide proof of income to take advantage of the programs.

Bennett said last November he would seek ways to provide extra help for lower-income customers when he unveiled a new BC Hydro rate plan. That plan will see electricity rates rise by 28% over the next five years, with further increases to be determined at that time.

BC Hydro has other energy-saving incentives that are not income-tested, including a rebate program for installation of insulation, draftproofing, heat pumps and water heaters. Those require homeowners to pay for assessment to see if they qualify for rebates.

Bennett said BC Hydro spends $160 million a year on its whole range of energy efficiency programs, including those for commercial and industrial customers.

The utility has set an “aggressive” goal to meet 78% of its demand growth through energy conservation, reducing the need to build new generating capacity, he said.

Do-it-yourself doggie salon When I was a kid and people asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up my answer was: a lawyer, a police officer or a hairdresser.

There’s no chance I’ll enter any of those fields now, but a few decades after I was first asked the question, I’ve kind of become the latter. Well, for dogs anyway. My dogs.

How it happened was an accident.

I’d taken my 30 lb. cockapoos, Lola and Charlie, for an early muddy hike in the woods and was giving them a bath when I noticed a ton of prickly burrs stuck to their bellies and legs.

I tried removing them while the dogs were in the tub, but there were too many.

After they’d dried off I tried brushing the spiky seedpods off their fur, but their fur had grown too much and it was like extracting gum out of a tangled head of hair.

Grabbing the scissors, I carefully cut out all the burrs from Charlie’s fur and thoroughly brushed him as he laid on the kitchen floor enjoying the attention. After that I got scissorhappy.

Over an hour later I was still on the floor filling up empty ice cream pails with his fluffy locks and having a blast as I did it.

“What are you doing?” my 11-yearold daughter asked when she woke up.

“Giving the dogs

a haircut,” I replied, letting go of Charlie and starting in on Lola.

“We should give some of that hair to Dad,” she said. “For his empty spot.”

It might be a little too white and curly for Paul’s head, but it was a thoughtful suggestion.

Charlie’s sister Lola enjoyed the grooming as well, and except for having to get close to the skin near the matted hairs, I felt relaxed about the process. I decided to buy some proper nail and fur clippers for next time.

The dogs didn’t look quite as pretty as when they come home from the dog groomers with sweet little bows in their hair, but for

two dogs who like to roll around in the dirt and jump in the creek every chance they get, my amateurish services were just fine.

I’m not sure why it never occurred to me that grooming them myself was an option.

I probably didn’t think they’d stay still for me and they would end up looking terrible. If I’d known it would be such a fun experience and that they’d still look cute, I would have cut their hair all along and saved some money.

Lola and Charlie turn five-years-old in September and my daughter thinks we should throw them a birthday party and dye their fur the colour of a rainbow. I’ve seen pups with brightly

On a brighter note Lori Welbourne coloured hairdos and it can look adorable, but coloured hair spray is as far as I’ll go. Call me boring, but I like our dogs to look like dogs.

I like them to act like dogs as well, but I wouldn’t mind if they stopped rolling around in the mud for a day.

It’s not easy being a dog groomer you know.

Letters to the

Editor

Editor: Just some clarifications regarding Tom Fletcher’s column, Life after the Tsilhqot’in decision (B.C. Views, July 2).

1. Federal and provincial authority may vary with the strength of an aboriginal title claim, as Fletcher contends, in the sense that the obligation to consult

and accommodate is proportional to the strength of the claim. But this is not so once aboriginal title has been proved in court (as the Tsilhqot’in have done).

Once such title is established it is no longer a matter of a “claim” and the aboriginal owners must consent to any development

Aboriginal title doesn’t ‘lock in’ communal ownership proposal respecting their land – unless the government supporting such a development meets the stringent constitutional test for limiting aboriginal rights and title in the absence of consent.

2. A finding of aboriginal title does not necessarily

“lock in” communal ownership.

Just as treaty First Nations may agree to convert land to fee simple title, aboriginal title holders may agree to surrender land to the federal Crown on the condition that it be re-conveyed to them for the purpose of conversion to fee

A brief history of treaty talks

By Tom Fletcher Black Press

A few weeks before the landmark decision declaring aboriginal title proven by the Tsilhqot’in Nation, I picked up a used university textbook that looked like a handy reference.

Geography in British Columbia: People and Landscapes in Transition, by Brett McGillivray (UBC Press, Second Edition) is a good reference, except where it strays from geography into politics.

This 2005 edition came out not long before the B.C. Treaty Commission started

producing agreements, notably with the Tsawwassen First Nation. It recounts the establishment of the Ministry of Native Affairs by the Bill Vander Zalm government in 1990, and the election the next year of Mike Harcourt’s NDP, who reversed the province’s historical legal position and tried to accept the existence of aboriginal title.

At this point the textbook departs from the facts and leads its freshman pupils into left-wing dogma.

McGillivray writes: “When the Liberal Party won the 2001 election (with all

but two seats), it launched a provincewide referendum on treaty negotiations, p r o m p t i n g commentators to suggest the government was ‘trying to impose 19th century ideas on a 21st century problem’.”

“Commentators” in the above quote is of course only one commentator, veteran lefty Vancouver columnist Stephen Hume.

This quote was indeed representative of the media consensus at the time. On TV, aboriginal leaders burned their ballots while denouncing the referendum as racist and divisive. The

public, and later university students, were taught that Gordon Campbell’s government was exploiting racism for political gain.

In fact, this referendum was one of a long series of efforts to untangle the legal knot left by Canada and B.C.’s failure to complete historical treaties after 1900.

Seven of the eight questions in the 2002 referendum were simply to confirm the existing position of B.C. treaty negotiators. The purpose, then as now, was to settle treaties.

The first question asked if private land should be exempt

simple.

I suspect that obtaining such agreement is no easier in the former scenario that the latter, but it may be.

3. The Tsilhqot’in had a long history of keeping others out, and were the only First Nation that was hostile even to the fur trade. But

they did not fight a war in the 1860s to defend their territory from a “wave of gold seekers.” They expelled everyone.

In 1864, after being threatened by the foreman of a crew building a wagon road through their territory – he had warned darkly of bringing back

the small pox that had killed at least one third of their population two years earlier – they killed nearly all the crew and then killed or expelled all white settlers from their territory.

from expropriation for treaty settlements.

Private property rights are not so much a 19th century idea as a 17th century one, defined in 1690 by John Locke.

What remains true today is that no society has made significant social and environmental progress without individual property rights. See the woeful state of most of Canada’s communally owned aboriginal reserves, where individually owned property isn’t permitted.

The Tsilhqot’in dropped claims of property held by nonaboriginal residents from their appeal to the highest court, a wise move considering that pushing people from their homes would lead to violent

confrontations.

Other referendum questions related to preserving public access to Crown land for hunting, fishing and park use. All were endorsed.

The only new question asked if aboriginal self-government “should have the characteristics of local government, with powers delegated from Canada and British Columbia.”

Arguably, that’s what has emerged from the Tsilhqot’in case, which upholds provincial jurisdiction over public forest policy on environmental and fire protection on aboriginal title lands.

By 2009, frustrated with a lack of progress, due to Ottawa’s inaction as well as incon-

sistent leadership from aboriginal communities, the Campbell government tried to cut the knot. Its proposed Recognition Act would have accepted a form of aboriginal title across the province, based on 30 historical “indigenous nations.”

That idea originated not with the province but with the First Nations Leadership Council. It was rejected by a broader group of aboriginal leaders later that year.

The best way forward, also endorsed in the 2002 referendum, is sharing land use planning. B.C. has also begun sharing resource revenues.

The most likely path, however, is back to court for years to come.

Water treatment plant at Bell Mine on Babine Lake

Wednesday, July 16, 2014

Houston Today

Belvedere Place Contractors work on building the foundation for the water treatment plant.

By Jackie Lieuwen Houston Today

Construction is underway for a water treatment plant at Bell Mine on Babine Lake.

Bell Mine was an open pit, copper-gold mine open 1971 to 1992 on the northeast side edge of Babine Lake, and run by Noranda Inc. The 1992 Bell Mine Closure Plan included a lime naturalization plant to treat runoff water collected in the open pit of the mine before releasing it into Babine Lake.

Construction of the plant started May 2014 and is expected to finish in November, said a 2014 Bell Mine newsletter.

Managed by SNC Lavalin, the construction employs 30 people, 60 at its height, and uses materials from across Canada.

Workers are staying at Babine Camp on the east side of the lake, across the Babine Charger (barge).

Belvedere Place Contracting is working on the earthworks and concrete portions of the construction and has completed the framework for the concrete foundation.

After the foundation is completed, they will assemble the clarifier and water treatment equipment, which are being made off-site and will be trucked in and assembled August.

Gravel trucks ride the Granisle Charger across Babine Lake to the mine on the east side.

Jackie Lieuwen photos/Houston Today

Gravel trucks load up with special gravel in Houston to truck up to the mine site for plant construction.

The Bell Mine open pit is currently collecting runoff water, which will be treated by the new plant once it’s in operation and then run into Babine Lake.

Council seeks funding for pool lift

By Jackie Lieuwen Houston Today

The District of Houston wants to make the pool more accessible to seniors.

They are applying for a $9,000 federal grant from the New Horizons Seniors Program to help fund the purchase of an access lift.

The lift is to enable those with limited mobility to access the hot tub and lane pool, said Leisure Services Director Ryan Coltura.

If they receive the grant, the District will pay $700 to purchase the $9,700

The community most affected by the proposed third dam on the Peace River is urging the B.C. government to get more answers before going ahead.

Hudson’s Hope Mayor Gwen Johansson made the rounds of Vancouver media this week, backed up by a consultant’s report that questions the need for the $8 billion project assessed by a federal-provincial joint review panel this spring.

Energy Minister Bill Bennett has said the cabinet will consider the federal panel’s report and decide this fall whether to issue permits to allow construction to begin in 2015.

The report by planning and engineering consultants Urban Systems reinforces many of the doubts expressed by the joint review panel, including the cost of the dam and the alternatives available to meet anticipated power demand.

Those options include upgrading the gas-fired Burrard Thermal generating station in the Lower Mainland. The federal review estimated that upgrade could be done for the $1 billion that

Cheslatta looking to stop the floods from Skins Lake spillway

By Steven Maisey Black Press

Cheslatta Carrier Nation is looking for viable solutions to the on going problem of the flooding and destruction of their homelands, due to flows of water released from the Skins Lake spillway.

For the past 62 years, since the Kenny Dam was built and the Skins Lake spillway was constructed to release water from the Nechako reservoir into the upper Nechako River, high water flows and massive erosion has cause extensive flooding of the Cheslatta River, and has caused the destruction of graves and cemeteries on Cheslatta land.

“We have worked alone, we have worked with Rio Tinto Alcan (RTA), now it is time we all work together in finding a viable and sustainable solution that will satisfy everyone,” Richard Peters, Chief of Cheslatta Carrier Nation said.

Cheslatta Carrier Nation’s current proposal would see

Photo submitted

Pictured here is flooding of the cemetery of Cheslatta Carrier Nation in June 2007. It has become an annual problem for Cheslatta Carrier Nation. The flooding is caused by the release of water from the Skins Lake spillway which causes high water flows and massive erosion and ends up flooding the Cheslatta River. the construction of a cold water release facility at the Kenny Dam. In order to construct the water release facility Cheslatta Carrier Nation applied for a water license in September 2013, as well they looked to receive consent from RTA. Cheslatta Carrier Nation has also looked at other options in their dis-

cussion with RTA, although the cold water release facility at the Kenny Dam is of primary concern to Cheslatta Carrier Nation.

“Our main goal is to bring stability to the Cheslatta system and have some kind of certainty on the downstream flows because right now it’s just at the whim of Mother Nature sometimes,” Mike Robertson, Senior Policy Advisor

for Cheslatta Carrier Nation said.

The flooding of the Cheslatta system is an annual problem that Cheslatta Carrier Nation faces, due to the annual summer temperature management spills that are necessary to maintain a safe water temperature in the Nechako River for the migrating salmon.

Flooding may occur twice a year in the event of extreme high

runoff in the spring.

Water is released to maintain the level of the Nechako reservoir.

Robertson said that Cheslatta Carrier Nation has called upon the provincial government for assistance, and added that the government has been very proactive in this project.

“We’re open to achieve some kind of framework by the end of the summer.

Staff from the Bulkley Valley Credit Union presented a $500 cheque to members of the Houston Community Garden last summer. The funds went towards a new set of tools for the garden, where residents can work on both individual garden boxes and shared rows.

Right now we’re very positive I can’t see this process falling apart.

We’re enthusiastic the government is definitely involved along with RTA,” Robertson said.

Colleen Nyce, Communications Specialist for RTA’s B.C. headquarters, says that RTA is currently trying to arrange a meeting with Cheslatta Carrier Nation to better understand their discus-

sions with the provincial government.

“We have a good relationship with Cheslatta Carrier Nation Council and we look forward to working with them on important matters such as this as we go forward,” Nyce said.

Robertson also adds that this is a long outstanding overdue issue.

“If things were done right we wouldn’t be talking about this,” Robertson said, in regard to the original building of a spillway that should’ve taken place in the 1950’s when the Kenny Dam was built.

Robertson though remains optimistic about the issue, saying that Cheslatta hope that a resolution will occur sometime late this summer, or in the early Fall.

“Cheslatta Carrier Nation has a very productive business relationship with RTA, and we have been fully engaged in open and honest discussions over bringing resolve to the flooding issue in the Cheslatta system,” Robertson said.

HOPE forToday 1000 or 120,000 Years?

A friend of mine, who lived in Greenland for years, shared with us that the Greenlanders had told him the climate there was much warmer 500 years ago, than it is now.

Since then, this was confirmed by a documentary which revealed archeologists digging up ruins of a Viking settlement, which they dated around 1000 years ago. They said the climate was very much warmer at that time. They found evidence that the Vikings who lived there, raised cattle, turkeys, and chickens. Trees grew where there are presently thick layers of ice. A church and even emblems with crosses were found indicating some of the people were Christians.

According to the archeologists the weather became increasingly cold and the Vikings found it too cold for them to sustain their livelihood, so they moved. The Inuit, who were much more adapted to the cold weather, moved into the area and have lived there ever since.

Then a “scientific” article caught my eye which stated that the present temperature in Baffin Island and Greenland are now warmer than they have been in 120,000 years. They based this on; carbon dating of a piece of moss which, they said, was found to be 50,000 years old, core samples of the ice pack and the assumption that the last ice age was some 120,000 years ago. I do not claim to be a scientist, but it seems obvious to me that they missed some very important facts unearthed by the archeologists. In my mind, there has to be something very wrong with the conclusions published in the “scientific” article.

I don’t know about you, but this raises a lot of questions for me.

If, as the archeological dig confirms, the temperatures in the north were so much warmer just a thousand years ago, how did the seals and the polar bears survive then? Are they really at risk, as some say, of dying out because of warmer climate trends? Is this present warming trend really from greenhouse gases or is it just another cycle of nature that happens every so often? Even more important, is the age of the earth really millions and billions of years, or could it be in the thousands of years?

We have an account in the Bible that points towards thousands, not millions of years. Which do you believe? I choose to believe God’s word, the Bible.

“In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.”
