On July 25, two people went on a boating trip, and when they did not return, someone got worried and called the RCMP to report them as missing.

Using the i n f o r m a t i o n provided, RCMP

decided that they needed to call on a search. They got in contact with Houston Search and Rescue and drew up a plan.

Houston SAR Director Andy Muma said that since the people were reported missing on the Morice River, they immediately called in back up.

Muma delegated ground search and search management to Houston SAR, but river searches have very specific safety criteria, and Houston does not have a swift water team.

“Smithers was called in because they have a swift water team,” Muma said.

Under mutual aid,

different Search and Rescues will help a sister organization if they do not have the appropriate resources.

“Different groups within the region have different expertise, so that you’re not duplicating on resources. We’re doing a lot of sharing of resources these

days,” Muma said.As the search

went underway, they found the missing people, but they weren’t missing – they went camping. Unfortunately, no one knew about their plans.

“That happens from time to time,” Muma said. “You balance the

circumstances and in this particular case, the RCMP decided it was worth going out and doing a search because of a concerned call from the public.”

“The search could have easily gone the other way, right? So you don’t want to take chances.”

Muma said

that people can avoid such issues by communicating their plans to family members or friends, so the RCMP can make a better and more informed decision.

“A decision has to be made quickly, and they will have to decide on the safe side,” Muma said.

$2.34m water supply upgrade

Missing boaters: Search and Rescue not taking chances

By Xuyun ZengHouston Today

Houston will see an injection of $2.34 million into its infra-structure in the com-ing year.

The federal, pro-vincial and munici-pal government will each put in $780,000 that will go towards the refurbishment of a deteriorating wa-ter tower located off Mountainview Drive and a new water transmission line that promises to improve Houston’s water secu-rity.

“We’ll know that we have a tower that’s not going to fail,” chief administrative officer Michael Glavin said. “By having this tower, this extra line, if we ever lose our main water line, we have a back up water line. And that’s important because right now we don’t. So if we ever lost that water line,

we’ll be isolated.”“The other thing is

our capacity for fire fighting. Right now, we don’t have the ca-pacity because we only have the one tower.”

The funding will completely cover the cost of the refurbish-ment and it will also pay for new transmis-sion lines.

“We’re going to go up to request for qualifications here, for consultants here, probably by the end of the summer, and we’ll probably design in the winter,” Glavin said.

Construction will start next spring and completion will ar-rive in early 2017, he added.

At the council chambers on Friday, Nechako Lakes MLA John Rustad came to announce the funding put forth by both the federal and provincial government.

Police calls are up by nearly 100 compared to last year.

RCMP Corporal Steve Thackeray said it is due to more proactive policing.

“We are urging the members to be more active in the community… [which means] more traf� c � les and breaches,” he said.

There is a signi� cant jump in thefts in Houston due to the large rash of thefts from vehicles earlier this year, Cpl. Thackeray said.

“Other than that, it is normal,” he said.

One top police priority is road safety in Houston.

Cpl. Thackeray says overall traf� c calls are down, but the number of impaired drivers is up.

Six impaired drivers were removed from the road.

Police did four roadblocks in the � rst quarter of 2015, April to June.

They have increased their presence at schools and visited local classes seven times since April.

Cpl. Thackeray says they also continue to target proli� c (habitual, repeat) offenders.

“We identi� ed one individual in our community who was very prevalent in violent crime, especially domestic violence,” said the corporal.

He says police talked to the male in February and told him he was identi� ed as a proli� c offender.

Police offered to help the male change his criminal behaviour by giving

access to services such as drug and alcohol counselling or mental health services.

“The idea of the proli� c offender program is to help them leave their criminal behaviour. If they elect not to, then they will get some attention from us,” said Cpl. Thackeray.

Police had been dealing with this male

about 17 times per quarter.

Thackeray says after they targeted him, negative contacts with the male went down 89 per cent.

On April 2, the male was arrested and is in custody until August 25, when Thackeray says police will have the same discussion.

“Individuals that

we continue to identify as proli� c within our community will be treated that way,” Cpl. Thackeray said.

The strategy is an RCMP program used across B.C.

Police are also starting Block Watch this fall, and will soon engage the public about how to watch out for their own neighbourhoods.

“It’s a need that was identified in

“The federal gov-ernment coming to the table really helps makes it possible for us to be able to pro-vide these kinds of grants for communi-ties.”

The water tower in question has seen rust and cracks de-veloping. A 2012 report from Opus DaytonKnight sug-gested that the tow-er might have been built substandard.

Currently, the town uses the tow-er as a reserve for peak hour demands and for firefighting. Despite its deterio-ration, Glavin says the tower is still fully functional.

teams were called in early the next morning to locate the missing male. Police also brought in a helicopter from Kamloops and a search dog from Prince George.

At 11:15 a.m. they found the male at home. The male said he walked out of the bush and hitched a ride into Houston. He was uninjured and in good health.

***Police arrested a

A need for crackdownThe B.C. Liberal government is looking

at cracking down on distracted motorists who use their cell phones

and other hand-held devices while driving, and we agree whole-heartedly.

Distracted drivers not only endanger their own lives, but also put in jeopardy the people who share the roads with them.

British Columbia introduced its distracted driving legislation � ve years ago, but the message just isn’t getting through to some motorists. They continue to text and e-mail while they’re sitting behind the wheel of a fast-moving vehicle while taking their eyes off the road to look at their hand-held devices.

The government tried to crack down on these people by increasing penalties to a $167 � ne and three penalty points for using an electronic device while driving.

Did it work? Nope.Last year, police issued around 55,000 tickets

to drivers who were caught using an electronic device behind the wheel. In 2013, they issued about 53,000.

These statistics are staggering when you consider that police are obviously not pulling over every distracted driver in the province.

Police watch for distracted drivers while on regular patrols and have blitzes when they speci� cally look for people using hand-held devices, but they are really just skimming the surface. ICBC estimates that 9,500 drivers in B.C. are using a hand-held device at any given time, 40 per cent texting or e-mailing while driving.

Studies show that texting or using a Smartphone while driving is more distracting than talking on one – the crash risk is 23 times higher for drivers who text.

The B.C. government attributes 88 deaths to distracted driving last year, which is second only to deaths caused by speeding and more than fatalities involving impaired driving.

It’s a huge problem that must be faced quickly. The government is going to increase the � nes

for distracted driving, but that is just the start.It is also considering suspending driver’s licences and impounding vehicles, and we are in favour of all of the above.

The message has to get out to distracted drivers that if they are caught, it is going to hurt their pocketbooks and they are going to be without a vehicle and a driver’s licence for a while.

Sitting behind a driver’s wheel requires our complete attention.

We don’t want to see our families devastated by the loss of a loved one because some other driver just had to read that text message and took his or her eyes off the road for a couple of seconds.

- Ken Alexander, Black Press

A fond farewell for nowBefore working at

Houston Today, I had no idea about the ins and outs of this town where I grew up.

In the last three years working for the Houston Today, I kept learning more about our very active and friendly community.

From sports to business to educa-tion and emergency services, Houston is packed with dedicated people who work hard to make the most of limited resources and population.

Leadership is so important - whether it is a father leading his family or business and club leaders guiding employees and volun-teers. When a caring and dedicated leader steps up, others natu-rally follow the charge.

It is great to see people like Jonathan Van Barneveld, who explores and values the natural beauty of our valley, and found-ed Houston Hikers so others could discover it too. He and several others work diligently

to maintain maps and trails for people to ex-plore.

Then there are the Search and Rescue di-rectors who dedicate hours to training and planning. Andy Muma is leading SAR groups across the province in advances to the pro-gram.

Houston has people like Adrian Meeuwissen and Arnold Amonson who have spent over 50 years serving in the community. Arnold continues to coordi-nate and lead a very active Seniors Society.

Then there are Ruby Kenzle, Cindy Verbeek, Sally Sullivan, Dawn Potvin, Shane Brienen, Paul and Diane Batley, Bobbi Edmunds, Noreen Scott, Euvermans, Reitsmas and many, many oth-ers who serve in their respective spheres.

This community is blessed. We de� nitely need to celebrate these leaders in our commu-nity.

Let us not forget

those who are building the foundation: Dads and Moms, whether working careers or at home raising families. Good parents are es-sential to society and observation has shown me that raising kids to work, serve, love and respect is not easy.

I have felt so privi-leged producing a newspaper that cel-ebrates many of the cool people who make up our town. I love capturing photos of special moments be-tween parents and kids, and sitting down for interviews with in-teresting local people.

I have learned so much through this job in Houston.

One of the biggest lessons is the impor-tance of being in-formed.

Before working here, I was so igno-rant about this town and what was happen-ing. Like many people, I didn’t read the paper, didn’t talk to many people outside of my circles, and used the in-ternet only to look up

what interested me. I lived in a bubble, and did not know anything about the lives and ac-tivities of people I was not connected to.

Of course, I still have particular things I am involved in, but now I know more about the world out-side of my own. (Not in terms of gossip, but in terms of the events and groups)

I think that it is im-portant for people to be informed. It is im-portant for communi-ties because it helps us to understand and value each other.

As we learn more about all the groups and events going on, we can understand better why so many clubs struggle for vol-unteers.

Instead of being frustrated with people for not doing what we are doing, we can see and appreciate what they contribute in an-other area.

We can also learn things from people who do things differ-ently and pick up skills

that we can apply in different ways.

I have de� nitely learned a lot from the people in Houston, and as I move to Terrace to work at the newspaper there, I am eager for the opportu-nity to learn more.

Every experience in life teaches us different things, and I plan to continue learning and changing and grow-ing to understand and care for people better.

I want to be a valu-able, contributing part of my community, where ever I end up. More then that, I want to value other people and what they do.

Through that, I pray that my life would honour the God who made me and gives me each breath.

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

By Jackie LieuwenJackie LieuwenBy Jackie LieuwenJackie Lieuwen

Now that the political back-and-forth is over, there are two questions left about the Petronas-led proposal to make the biggest private-sector investment in B.C. history.

Will it actually happen? And is it a good deal or a bad one?

Premier Christy Clark ducked the � rst question on the day the project agreement for Paci� c Northwest LNG was approved by the B.C. legislature.

“After many predictions about the Canucks and the Alberta election, I don’t make predictions any more,” Clark said. “But I can say that this project has gone farther than any of our critics said that it would.”

For what it’s worth, my prediction is on record: it will go ahead. The latest evidence is the company’s continued, costly effort to gain federal and local approval for a suspension bridge to Lelu Island to minimize the marine impact. Lax Kw’alaams Band members could not have had details on that change from an underwater pipeline when they voted to oppose the project in May.

Is it a good deal? The mayors of Prince Rupert and Port Edward have made their views clear – they see it as a lifeline for an area that has struggled for years with a faded forest and � shing industry.

The B.C. NDP is

also now clear, having voted against the proj-ect agreement in the brief summer session of the legislature that concluded last week. Whether the project proceeds or not, this will be a key election issue in 2017.

NDP leader John Horgan and other MLAs made much of the lack of job guarantees, pointing to similar projects in Australia.

Natural Gas Development Minister Rich Coleman issued a statement with ex-cerpts from the state of Western Australia’s agreement for the Gorgon LNG project. The so-called guaran-tees contain quali� ers like this: “... except in those cases where … it is not reasonable or economically practi-

cal to do so, use la-bour available within Western Australia.”

Obviously there were no job guarantees, which could only exist in a command economy, in other words a communist dictatorship.

Everyone agrees that specialized trades such as welding al-loys for low-tempera-ture operation will be brought in. And LNG processing trains will be shipped in pre-fab-ricated from places like South Korea, as they have been in Australia and elsewhere.

Paci� c Northwest LNG is on record with federal regulators that in the latter stages of construction, the use of foreign labour for the project could reach 70 per cent. Does that make it a bad deal?

Perhaps B.C. could attempt develop this expertise from the ground up. It seems to me that was tried with aluminum ship fabri-cation, and it didn’t work out too well.

For David Keane, president of the B.C. LNG Alliance, the question is how many large LNG projects, pipelines and all, can be managed at the same time as the Site C dam is being

built. It was skilled labour shortages, and particularly a shortage of supervisors, that caused Australia to lose some of its proposed projects.

Keane said all LNG proponents here want to use as much local labour as they can, because it’s less expensive and it builds local support. And he disagrees that B.C. is a sweet deal for the industry. Among other

things, pipelines have to be built across two mountain ranges.

Not only that, B.C. producers would pay an LNG income tax, which is a � rst in the history of the industry. Add to that PST, GST, payroll taxes, municipal taxes and federal and provincial corporate income taxes. Add aboriginal revenue sharing, and we have a deal.

Prospects for B.C.’s biggest investment

By Jeff NagelBlack Press

A surge in shell� sh-

related illness because of the hot summer weather has prompted the B.C. Centre for Disease Control to issue a warning to oyster lovers.

The centre says 35 cases of a bacterial infection called Vibrio p a r a h a e m o ly t i c u s

have been reported in June and July – an unprecedented number.

Most people got sick from eating raw B.C. oysters served in restaurants, although some cases involved oysters that were self-harvested or bought

at retail outlets.The bacteria occurs

naturally in shell� sh like oysters, clams, mussels, scallops and cockles and their concentrations rise in the summer months when water temperatures get warmer.

“The risk is especially high this summer, as we can see from the number of Vibrio infections reported during the last two months,” said BCCDC e p i d e m i o l o g i s t Marsha Taylor.

People can get sick

when contaminated shell� sh are eaten raw or undercooked.

Diarrhea is the most common symptom from infection, but nausea, vomiting, fever, headache and bloody stools can also result. Symptoms last three

days to a week and don’t usually require treatment.

The BCCDC advises consumers to eat only cooked shell� sh to destroy the bacteria and reduce the risk of g a s t r o i n t e s t i n a l illness.

Illness from tainted oysters soars with heatRisk grows with

rise in water temperatures

“...all LNG proponents here want to use as much local

labour as they can, because it’s less expensive and it

builds local support.

We are dedicated to local decision making and local control, key factors in providing the kinds of services that meet the financial needs of individuals and business members alike.

Maintaining a healthy and strong financial institution is only one part of our mission. Our strong financial results have allowed us to build a very strong capital base. In addition to the patronage dollars ($598,439 in 2014) that we distribute in our communities, we also distributed over $220,000 in community support, economic development and marketing funds to community groups, individuals, and associations within our service areas. Bulkley Valley Credit Union’s Board of Directors has committed $100,000 over 5 years to the Upper Skeena Recreation Centre, for the Heart of the Hazeltons’ project.

We continue to make improvements in our products and services. We value the relationships we have established with our members and will continue to build more innovative remote banking access to allow those who may move away or simply require access to all products and services anytime, anywhere. Come see us today to experience the Credit Union difference.

By Jackie LieuwenHouston Today

Adrian and Jo Meeuwissen have been highly involved in the

community, school, and church for over 50 years.

They have left a mark on many individuals and have bolstered the Houston community through volunteering.

Their lives show the importance of service and the fulfillment that comes with it.

Henry Fennema was a business partner with Adrian for 20 years at Nadina Truck Service (a business started by Adrian and known formerly YEM Trucking).

Fennema says Adrian is “a good example, work-wise and community-wise.”

“He was a very community-minded man. He gave lots back to this community... The community needs men like him [who are] not scared to give of their own time and even of their

own resources.”As for character, Fennema

says Adrian was a good man, hard working and honest.

Bob Haslett agrees. Haslett was a school trustee who served with Adrian for over 15 years.

He says ethics guided everything Adrian did.

Adrian was straight forward and honest, but also thoughtful and careful with his words, Haslett said.

“Adrian was a magnificent school trustee. He took the job to heart. His interest in kids was always paramount.”

Adrian believed his responsibility as an elected board member meant getting involved with both education and kids. He was always volunteering and poured a lot of time into local sports programs as his children were growing up.

Career Days saw Adrian talking to students about his business and taking students for rides in his plane to experience

what it would be like to be a pilot. Adrian also talked to students

often about the responsibility and importance of actively giving back to your community, Haslett said.

Adrian led by example.Besides his involvement in

schools and sports, Adrian was also a town councillor for five years and mayor for six.

He says he is proud of how he helped lead Houston out of debt.

When he became councillor and mayor, the municipality was in deep debt. Adrian ran a strict budget and fought for provincial funding for Ruiter Heights subdivision to get Houston free of debt. He also helped develop Four Seasons Park during his terms on council.

As for Jo, Haslett says she deserves “an awful lot of respect and appreciation” for supporting Adrian, who “committed himself that much to the community.”

“He couldn’t have done all that without Jo being there for

him and supporting him,” Haslett said.

Adrian and Jo were active and faithful parishioners of church.

The design and floor plan of St Anthony’s Catholic Church was developed on their living room floor, Adrian said.

Fellow parishioners Liz Gerei and Gale James said Adrian and Jo served the church in many ways throughout the years. Adrian helped build the church, did building and lawn maintenance, and Jo was very active in the Catholic Women’s League.

They both did readings during Mass and served eucharist as members of pastoral council. They were always ready to step up and volunteer, James said.

In 1982, the Catholic church awarded Adrian and Jo the Benemerenti Medal, which is one of the highest honours for a Catholic lay person and honours them for their long and exceptional service.

The award recognized what James called service in the background.

“When things needed to be done, they would be there… That’s just who they were,” James said.

Highly involved in so many ways, James says they still always put family first.

Married for 60 years, Adrian and Jo had five children. Their son Bill was born in 1956, a year after they were married and immigrated from Holland. Four daughters followed - Irene, Adri, and twins Joany and Nettie.

Though life was busy, the children knew they were loved and supported.

Their daughter Joany says her parents’ priority was always family first.

“We always knew they had our back… They always pushed us to strive forward and to do our best

in everything we did,” she said. The Meeuwissen children

were all highly involved in sports, and their parents taught them to value sportsmanship and be involved.

They were also raised to be independent and make their own way in the world, said daughter Irene.

These were values Adrian and Jo lived and taught both within and beyond the home.

Adrian says he loved being involved with education and helping students at school.

Haslett recalls that Adrian often talked to students about their responsibility to actively give back to their community.

Adrian also enjoyed helping and teaching his employees at Nadina Trucking.

“We had some rough, tough people that we worked with who became fine journeymen and businessmen, but we went through some rough times with them,” he said.

“I’ve always had great satisfaction training young people.”

Adrian says his life of service was not always easy. His effort and impact was not always recognized or appreciated. At times he wonders whether he missed out on things because he dedicated so much time to the community and church.

The family went through some tough times financially, but Adrian said they fell back on their faith and made it through.

“It was not an easy time, but we always were together, and had a healthy family,” Adrian said.

“We had nothing but we had each other and we had health. So we never looked at ourselves as being poor.”

“God has been good to us,” he said. “All in all, we’ve had a full life.”

Born and raised in Holland, Adrian immigrated to Canada in 1951. He returned to Holland in 1955 where he met and married Jo within the span of two months. The two have been married 60 years and will leave behind a lasting legacy of faithful and fulfilling community service. Jackie Lieuwen photo

Love, Listen, LearnHave you ever answered someone before they

have even � nished talking? I have to admit that I do this too often, especially with my wife. What am I saying to my wife when I do this to her? I am really telling her what I have to say is more important than what she has to say, thus I am more important than her. My love for self is greater than my love for her. How arrogant, how disrespectful, how foolish, I should be ashamed. This has been an issue with humankind ever since sin entered into this world. Proverbs 18:13 says “Spouting off before listening to the facts is both shameful and foolish.” NLT. No wonder those who do not listen are sometimes called a “know it all”.

On the other hand, when we actually listen to the other person we are af� rming them as a fellow human being and we are showing that what they have to say is important and giving them respect. When I listen I am showing that I value their input and thus value them.

We have so much to learn from each other. The only way we can learn is to listen and the only way we will listen as we should is when we have the love of God within us. Our love and respect for others really � ows out of our love for God. Jesus said “As it is written in the Scriptures, ‘They will all be taught by God.’ Everyone who listens to the Father and learns from him comes to me.” John 6:45 NLT “So now I am giving you a new commandment: Love each other. Just as I have loved you, you should love each other. Your love for one another will prove to the world that you are my disciples.” John 13:34,35 NLT

God gave us two ears and only one mouth for a reason.

“You must be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to get angry.” James 1:19 NLT

Salvation Army short on food donations By Xuyun Zeng

Houston Today

Storage closets at the Houston food bank are running low.

The Salvation Army provides food to people in need by appointment. They give canned meat, vegetables, beans, pasta, pasta sauce, noodles, cereal, juice to people as best as they can, but a seasonal problem has come back to affect them.

“We don’t have a lot of space, so we always have a small amount of food that we cache on site at any given time,” said director Rick Apperson. “Summertime is always rough. Donations are always down. And so, correspondingly our shelves are a bit more empty in Houston right now.”

Apperson said June, July and August pan out as the worst

months for donations and he can only guess at the reasons. He says it could be because people are travelling or it is just not on the forefront of peoples’ minds in the summer.

As a result of the shortfall in donations, the food bank gets squeezed for resources when they have an unplanned visitor.

“We haven’t turned them away. We are giving them a little less food because we haven’t had as much food in stock,” Apperson said. “We pool a lot of food ourselves, and we also bring some food from Smithers that we have.”

The summertime

shortfall affects all B.C. food banks, but certain communities suffer more as their school breakfast, lunch and snack programs shut down in the summer, adding stress to the household.

“A third of the people in B.C. who are using food banks are children and we all feel that very keenly when we realize that it’s a child that could go hungry,” Food Banks BC director Lansink said.

Like Apperson, Lansink believes that summertime holidaymakers forget about food banks as they enjoy their vacations.

And in the eight

years Apperson has worked in his capacity, he has tried ameliorate the problem by making people more aware, and he has seen slight results through his word-of-mouth

efforts.“During the winter

time when people do food drives and they ask how things are going, we always say summer is when we actually have the least

amount of donations,” Apperson said.

A p p e r s o n mentioned that when he � rst came, the food bank would buy � ve months’ worth of supplies, but this year

he noticed that they’re only buying three months’ worth.

The community can help Salvation Army by donating non-perishable food items to stock their shelves.

Jackie Lieuwen/Houston TodayHouston Salvation Army is short on food, and is stocking their shelves with food donations from Smithers and groceries they buy. Above is volunteer Mike Murphy, who regularly helps out at the Salvation Army thrift store in Houston.

“A third of the people in B.C. who are using food

banks are children.” - Food Banks BC director Lansink
