The District of Houston is digging out a sandbar by the sewage outfall on the Bulkley River this week.

The sandbar is

blocking the outfall pipe and slowing down the sewage treatment system causing buildup in the District lagoons.

The $22,000 dredg-ing project includes contract dredging and environmental con-

sulting and is done ev-ery two or three years

- last done in 2011. “We have the

same consultant and same contrac-tor,” said Director of Engineering John Guenther.

The � rst analysis is done and the proj-ect may be compli-cated by a beaver dam downstream and the

� sh habitat which has changed since 2011 due to � ooding, he said.

Guenther said the contractor is r e c o m m e n d i n g the District move the outfall pipe downstream 80

metres to avoid these problems.

That may be a future project and Chief Administrative Of� cer Michael Glavin says there will be a number of options for council to consider at that time.

Landlords protest bylaw

District to dredge sewer outfall on Bulkley River


Three Houston landlords confronted council with concerns about the proposed unsightly premises bylaw.

Kathy Haverland, Tanya Janzen and Steve Esslemont came to the council meeting last Tuesday for “serious discussion of proposed bylaw, which seems to be designed to put landlords out of business,” they wrote on their delegation request.

“It’s considered private property, so I’m not sure how all those regulations can be put on private property,” Janzen told council.

The proposed bylaw lays out standards for maintenance and preventing nuisances at rental properties in town. It regulates structural integrity, heat systems and pest control, and states that “no machinery… in a wrecked, discarded,

d i s m a n t l e d , i n o p e r a t i v e or abandoned condition” should be kept in parking areas.

“Tenants pay for parking spots and they should have every right to to park a boat or trailer,” Janzen said.

Kathy Haverland agreed.

“As long as it’s not junk, they should be allowed to have their boats, campers, trailers, dirt bikes and quads,” she said.

““I’m not sure how all those

regulations can be put on private property.”

Landlords fight fees for nuisance calls Janzen said she

is also concerned about the temperature regulations.

“Most of my units only have one thermostat that controls the temperature in the entire townhouse. How are you supposed to know if every room is 20 degrees or warmer?” she asked.

Steve Esselmont said he is also

concerned about the regulations on vermin.

“What are we going to do? Check every house?” he asked.

The bylaw also gives the District the right to fine property owners when police are responding to an address more than three times a year for nuisance calls.

All three landlords are concerned.

Janzen said there could be multiple calls

over one incident, and that should not wrack up bills. “That’s really not fair.”

Haverland agreed, adding that she’s also concerned about getting billed when people who aren’t tenants walk through and cause problems.

Esselmont said the main problem is ambiguity.

“What qualifies? What’s a nuisance and what’s not?” he asked.

“I support a great deal [of the bylaw]… but it needs a lot of clarity.”

Deputy Mayor Jonathan Van Barneveld said council and staff would discuss the concerns and have a second look at the bylaw.

“It’s not often we get people voicing their concerns about bylaws,” he said. “I appreciate you guys coming down.”

The Regional District of Bulkley-Nechako (RDBN) ended the 2013 financial year in the red, with a deficit of nearly $540,000, according to the audited financial statement made public by them earlier this month.

Total revenue actually increased for the RDBN in 2013, up to $11,367,915 compared to 2012 revenue at $11,208,830. Yet, despite the increase in revenue, albeit a small one, the RDBN still found itself in the hole $539,962 in 2013. It was a big change from 2012, when they ended with a $45,907 surplus.

One of the big 2013 revenue increases came through the property tax requisition for RDBN electoral areas. They increased from $4,223,356 in 2012 to $4,629,158 in 2013, although property tax requisition in municipalities actually decreased from $3,076,001 in 2012 to $2,837,337 in 2013. In total, combined revenue from property taxes increased from $7,299,357 in 2012 to $7,526,535 in 2013.

Another main increase to revenue came from fees and permits, which brought in $872,754 in 2013 and $821,532 in 2012.

Other areas of revenue increase came in municipal cost sharing, municipal debt payments, grants in lieu of taxes and other conditional grants.

Grants from federal and provincial governments decreased significantly in 2013, with federal grants dropping $100,369 to a total of $543,334 and provincial grants dropping $139,522 to a total of $122,432.

Revenue from property taxes and utility user fees is recognized in the period to which it relates and revenue from government and other grants is recognized in the year which it is approved by the funders.

While revenue brought in by the

RDBN slightly increased just over $150,000, the jump in spending far outstripped additional revenue.

Expenses for the RDBN for 2013 totalled $11,907,877, more than a $700,000 increase from 2012 when expenses totalled $11,162,923.

One of the biggest increases to 2013 expenses came from environmental services, which includes liquid waste management, recycling and the Encorp Pacific Return-It program, funding to the Northwest Invasive Plant Council, and manageing the waste site up Babine Lake Road.

In total spending on environmental services increased to $3,809,291 in 2013 , up from $3,466,374 in 2012.

That wasn’t the only area of increase in RDBN spending, which happened across the board.

Spending was up on recreation and culture, fire protection and emergency response, building inspection and numbering, planning and development services, street lighting and transportation, sewer and water.

The only area that saw a decrease in spending was for government - general, rural and local

commission services, which dropped $117,029, from $2,737,011 in 2012 to $2,619,982 in 2013.

Staff renumeration also increased in 2013, from $2,932,256 in 2012 to $3,623,537, an increase of $91,281. While staff saw increases, the RDBN board of directors was decreases in 2013 from $272,894 in 2012 to $257,687 a total of $15,207 less.

Despite the annual

deficit in 2013 the net surplus of the RDBN continues to be positive at $14,616,606.

The net surplus

includes operating revenue, reserve revenue, capital revenue and non-financial assets.

Forestry changesBC forests represent the single-largest re-

newable asset that we have, a public re-source shared with First Nations across

the province. Whatever the fate may be of our non-renewable natural gas resources, our forests can and should be there for generations to come.

Healthy forests ensure that we have clean water to drink and clean air to breathe, a diversity of animal and plant species that is found in few plac-es on earth, a vital tool to assist us in addressing climate change, and a source of wood and other forest products that has delivered economic, so-cial and cultural bene� ts for decades. For these reasons and many more, decisions about how our forests are managed are of vital public policy im-portance.

In the lead-up to the last provincial election, the government proposed changes in an omnibus bill that would have opened the door for a signi� -cant increase in the number of Tree Farm Licences or TFLs. Such licences grant their recipients long-term, compensable rights to log trees on de� ned areas of public forestland. Due to concerns raised by numerous British Columbians, the government chose to remove the TFL clauses from the omni-bus bill.

During and after the provincial election cam-paign, however, the government indicated that it intended to reintroduce legislation that could once again result in more TFLs. However, before doing so the government said it would consult with BC citizens.

It has been more than six months since that consultation commitment, but the government has yet to reveal what British Columbians will be asked to comment on, or what opportunities they will have to voice their concerns.

Disputes over the management and conserva-tion of BC forests are legendary and have often pitted one or more groups against one another. Clayoquot Sound, Haida Gwaii, the Nemiah and Stein valleys, and the Great Bear Rainforest are among many examples.

Far less common is when groups that some-times oppose one another � nd common ground. The government’s proposed TFL policy is one such exception to the general rule. And history tells us that it is an area where government should proceed with extreme caution.

In the late 1980s, the then Social Credit gov-ernment enacted a similar proposal into law and subsequently had to rescind the legislation after hundreds of British Columbians turned out at public meetings and voiced their concerns.

Eight organizations signed a letter calling on government to honour its public consultation promise. The groups represent a signi� cant cross section of the BC population, including public sector and forest industry workers, First Nations and environmental organizations.

The signatories may have different ideas about what policy changes are needed, but what they and others want is to be part of a conversation — a conversation that government has promised and would be wise to deliver.

Escaping to natureLast week I went

camping and did a whole lot of nothing much. My husband and children were thrilled.

My family knows camping isn’t my favourite activity, but I do it for them. I’ve even endured the dusty, loud campgrounds that packed us in like sardines in a can.

This time, though, we were at Haynes Point, a provincial park in Osoyoos, set up on a semi-secluded site right on the beach. It was absolutely gorgeous and a blissful relief.

My plan with our short trip was to relax and have fun, but still go for my long morning walks and get some inspired writing done every day. I accomplished my � rst two goals – chilling out and enjoying the

outdoors – but every morning I slept in hours later than I usually do, and I left my iPad in its case.

I’d be lying if I said I was totally � ne with that, because I actually felt a bit guilty.

“There’s a difference between relaxing and being lazy,” my husband said when I expressed my feelings of slothfulness. “It’s good for you to do nothing once in awhile.”

He’s probably right about that. It certainly felt like something I needed. But after four days of swimming, playing cards, reading magazines and drinking coolers, I was ready to return home. My husband, on the other hand, was eager to book another campsite.

“You want to go again?” I asked

incredulously.“Yes,” he replied.

“I could do this every day of the summer.” I guess I could too if it was a necessity. Fortunately it’s not.

I truly loved our beautiful location and I had a fantastic time with our kids and their friends, but there were a few things I missed. One of them was electricity.

Okay, so I know what you must be thinking: wow, that Lori must have really been roughing it out there in the woods. Well, not really. I did sleep in a tent, but only because our motorhome was too hot.

If my mom was still alive she would probably say that an RV is just a hotel on wheels and not real camping. And I’d kind of agree with her. I

remember what real camping was like from all the times we did it when I was a kid. But until I can order in room service and have the chambermaids visit the next day, I’ll continue to think of staying in a motorhome as camping.

Another thing I missed was my bathroom. I didn’t mind shampooing in the lake and letting my hair dry in the sun, but I was looking forward to turning on a nice hot shower and plugging in my styling tools.

I was also anxious to get back to my enormous mess at home. Initially I was happy to escape it since I was in the middle of a basement overhaul and the clutter felt overwhelming. But once I’d had some

time to unwind and take it easy, I felt eager to return and � nish what I started.

Now that I’m back to my regular routine, I’m warming up to the idea of another camping trip before summer ends.

Another few days like the ones I just had would be nice. Electricity, running water and never ending chores can wait.

Mine sought second water release increase

By Jeff NagelBlack Press

An estimated 1.5 million migrating Fraser River sockeye salmon are destined for Quesnel Lake, which has now been contaminated by the Mount Polley mine tailings pond spill.

The Quesnel sys-tem sockeye make up a major portion of what’s hoped to be a record run this year, said Craig Orr, executive director of the Watershed Watch Salmon Society.

“This is one of the greatest environmental

disasters we’ve had on the Fraser,” Orr said. “Some of the ef� uent will be getting in the Fraser. The big ques-tion is how concen-trated, how harmful it will be. Some of these compounds have short term impacts and some have much lon-ger term impacts.”

While the Quesnel Lake stocks are among the Fraser’s most abundant, Orr is particularly concerned that other much weak-er stocks that spawn in other tributaries of the Fraser could be harmed.

“People have to be

concerned about not just what it means for the returning � sh but for the juveniles rear-ing in the lake right now,” he said. “We don’t know if it’s going to accumulate in their bodies or potentially affect their olfactions, their ability to � nd their home waters.”

Resident � sh at risk include threatened bull trout and plentiful rainbow trout.

At a news confer-ence in Likely, Imperial Metals president Brian Kynoch said the water in the pond is tested with rainbow trout, and its arsenic level is

one � fth of the limit for drinking water. He described the ef� uent as “relatively benign.”

The huge spill of tailings and water tore down Hazeltine Creek, which is where endangered Interior coho salmon are sup-posed to spawn in a few weeks.

Gord Sterritt, ex-ecutive director of the Upper Fraser Fisheries Conservation Alliance, said the group, which represents 23 First Nations from Williams Lake to the Fraser’s headwaters, had al-ready raised concerns that planned releases

of ef� uent into the creek by mine opera-tor Imperial Metals might harm the coho.

Chinook salmon also spawn near the outlet of Quesnel Lake at the Quesnel River.

“Those � sh will be holding or just about to enter the spawning grounds pretty quick,” Sterritt said. “We’re pretty concerned about what the toxic elements are going to do those � sh. And then there’s the scouring of the debris pile that is potentially going to be moving down the lake and into the river.”

Contamination that

reaches the mainstem Fraser could affect � sh spawning hundreds of kilometres away, such as in Stuart Lake near Fort St. James.

Sterritt said he’s � elding calls from First Nations as far down-stream as Lillooet that are alarmed about the potential impact on their food � sheries.

Kynoch said the pond water nearly meets drinking wa-ter standards and the main threat to � sh is from the silt, which he said is settling rapidly.

Sto:lo � shery advisor Ernie Crey said there remains

widespread concern in aboriginal communities.

“Eventually, this stuff will wend its way into the Fraser,” he said.

Orr noted the spill came just three days after provincial gov-ernment approval of the new KSM gold mine near the headwa-ters of the Nass River.

The KSM project, near the Alaska border at Stewart, includes tunnels to carry ore 23 km away for process-ing and shipping, to satisfy Alaska’s con-cerns about � sheries and tourism.

How do you think the disaster at Mount Polly Mine will affect Huckleberry and

other mines? How can this type of spill be prevented in the

future?

By Tom FletcherBlack Press

Mount Polley Mine management was awaiting a second permit amendment from the B.C. govern-ment to increase wa-ter released from its tailings facilities when the tailings pond dam breached in the early hours of Aug. 4.

Ministry of Environment records show the mine has had an ef� uent permit since 1997, and has operated since startup

with a water surplus due to precipitation. In 2009 the company applied to amend the permit to allow dis-charge of up to 1.4 million cubic meters of water a year to dis-charge dam seepage ef� uent into Hazeltine Creek.

That permit was approved in 2012 after an independent report was commissioned to examine water quality impacts from sediment and contaminants, and measures needed to control them.

With the mine and its tailings facilities expanding and an ex-hausted pit being con-verted to underground mining, Mount Polley applied for another amendment to dis-charge up to three mil-lion cubic meters of treated water to Polley Lake.

“That application was received by the ministry this summer and is being consid-ered,” the Ministry of Environment said in a statement Wednesday.

Energy and Mines

Minister Bill Bennett said Mount Polley mine does not have acid-producing rock, which reacts with con-taminants such as ar-senic and mercury and allows them to mix with water. Bennett was on site this week with mine inspectors and environment min-istry staff.

“We will � nd out if the company was not in compli-ance,” Bennett said Wednesday. “If they were hiding anything, if they made mistakes

in building the dam higher, we will � nd out and hold them to ac-count.”

Brian Kynoch, pres-ident of parent com-pany Imperial Metals, was asked about the latest permit amend-ment at a public meet-ing in Likely Tuesday, where residents were shocked at the dev-astation and worried about the water qual-ity in their lakes and rivers.

“I think we’re about to get the increase,” Kynoch said.

Kynoch said the breach did not occur at the highest point of the tailings dam, where water pressure was greatest, and the pond level was 2.5 me-tres below the top of the dam at the time.

Ministry records show Mount Polley was warned about high pond levels May 24, with the level re-turning to authorized levels by June 30. In April the company was issued an advi-sory about bypass of authorized treatment

works due to high wa-ter � ows in the spring runoff period.

Samples of tail-ings pond water taken Aug. 4 showed sele-nium concentration 2.8 times the drink-ing water guideline. Concentration of nitrates, cadmium, copper, iron and sele-nium have occasion-ally exceeded aquatic life guidelines in recent years. The permit re-quired water volume not to exceed 35 per cent of the creek � ow to dilute it.

Sponsored by Riverside Gardens

forToday Secret Sins?

Tom* and his older sister Sharon* were excited that they would be able to spend their summer at their Grandpa and Grandma’s farm. It was so different from the city with lots of space to run around and have fun. Tom loved to gather eggs and work alongside Grandpa.

Tom learned how to use the slingshot his father had given him, as he shot at things around the farm. Grandpa saw him shoot towards a chicken, and warned him not to shoot at living creatures on the farm, he might hurt them.

One day, forgetting Grandpa’s warning, Tom’s impulsively shot at a lone duck behind the barn. He really didn’t want to hurt it but he hit it in the head, it � uttered around then fell down lifeless. He could hear his heart pounding as he heard Grandpa’s warning echo through his mind. He looked around, seeing no one he decided he would bury it. No one would know, he thought.

That evening it was Sharon’s turn to do the dishes, yet she demanded that Tom wash them for her. When he refused, she told him that she had seen him kill and bury the duck. She would tell Grandpa if he did not do the dishes. He washed the dishes that day with a sinking feeling in his heart. He could not look Grandma or Grandpa in the eye. Tom could not get the images of the dead duck out of his mind. His slingshot stayed on its hook on the wall. Tom’s fun on the farm turned into drudgery and his sister got him to do more and more of her work.

One morning, as he woke up, he knew what he had to do. He would confess to Grandpa and Grandma what happened. With his heart in his throat, he sputtered out his confession, expecting to get the worst punishment possible.

Grandma, hugged him � rmly, and with tears in her eyes said “I saw you kill and bury that duck too. I was waiting for you to tell me. We forgive you. You will not have to do your sisters work anymore.” Tom was free! He could look his grandparents in the eye again. The rest of the summer was such a joy on the farm.

Jesus said “For everything that is hidden will eventually be brought into the open and every secret will be brought to light.” Mark 4:22

“But if we confess our sins to him, he is faithful and just to forgive our sins and to cleanse us from all wickedness.” 1 John 1:9

Volunteers needed to open new bike trailBy Jackie Lieuwen

Houston Today

Mountain bikers are being asked to help open up another trail on Mount Harry Davis.

The � rst trail opened early this summer and the second will be ready to ride with a few more hours of work, said Zach De La Mare, volunteer coordinator for the bike trails project.

They will do a work bee this Thursday to clear away a few branches and rake the second trail.

De La Mare says a lot of kids and families are trying out the � rst trail, and saying it’s a great ride.

There are nine trails marked out on Mount Harry Davis and most of the clearing work is being done by the Initial Attack Crew of the Houston � re� ghters.

When they’re not working, “they work out by cutting trail,” De La Mare said, adding that they’re already on the third trail and volunteers just need to come behind for minor clearing and trail raking.

Over the next three

summers, De La Mare says they hope to � nish the � rst four basic trails and get a few advanced trails ready to ride.

“We’re in need of volunteers,” he said. “Kids who want to ride the trails, should show more initiative in clearing and

grooming them.” C o u n t r y w i d e

Sports is offering $100 gift certi� cates to the � rst three people with 10 hours of volunteer time with Zach at the trails.

Work bees will be every week in August. They’ll meet

at Countrywide Sports starting this Thursday at 9 a.m.

After each trail is done, Houston Hikers will run a name contest.

See the Countrywide Sports Facebook page for updates and future work bee notices.

Jackie Lieuwen/Houston TodayZach De La Mare from Countrywide Sports is organizing workbees to open up more biking trails on Mount Harry Davis.

Raymond Ashford LongDecember 10, 1931-June 17, 2014

Ray was born in Burns Lake on December 10, 1931 to John Alvan and Katherine (Porter) Long. He was the youngest of 11 children. He grew up on the family ranch in Palling. His family life involved farming, logging and saw milling. Ray was his sister Jean’s, pride and joy! They grew up knowing how to work hard-milking cows, fencing and riding. Ray was an excellent horse man as horses were always an important part of his life.Ray married Eirien Kathleen Kempple on April 2, 1960 in Burns Lake. They made their home in Decker Lake where Ray had his own truck and hauled logs for Star Planer. Ray was in a serious accident with his truck and a train in August 1960. Kathy was born the night before the accident. Ray spent many months in the hospital in Vancouver recovering. After his recovery he returned to work. Pam was born in 1963. Ray and Eirien moved to Houston in 1966 where Ray hauled logs to Buck River Lumber and worked with Ernie Lund there. In 1968 Brent was born and completed their family. After several moves within Houston, the “Long” family reached their final destination in 1977-the current “Long’s Farm” on the Buck Flats Road.Ray became a well known logging contractor under the name “Long Trucking Ltd.” He started his own cattle herd and always had horses around. He enjoyed rodeos, roping and hunting trips on horseback. You could often see Ray at the local rodeo at Henry Murphy’s place as a pick up man. He also took an interest in the local pony club where he would participate in the ‘Smoke Race.’ He rode horses up until the last couple of years, checking cattle and fence lines as well as participating in numerous Poker Rides with Tori and Bill Vernon.Ray was always the first one to lend a hand to friends and neighbours. He had a keen sense of humour and always had time to visit. There was no such thing as a quick trip with Ray! He was an avid story teller!!When Brent was old enough to drive the logging truck, Ray took a step back and focused on his farm and cow herd.Ray loved to dance, tour around the country, visit and trade stories.The joy of his life was his grandkids, Brittany, Brooke, Shea and Tori. He was always very patient with them and taught them to drive, hay, farm, ride horses and play cards. He bought an old Crowne Victoria car at an auction in Grassy Plains for the grandkids to learn how to drive.In his later years, as his health failed, Ray wasn’t able to be as active, however, his wit always brought a smile to everyone’s face! He enjoyed the odd trip out for a strawberry milkshake and a tour of town with his little black dog at his side.Ray was a man of many words and had a heart of gold! Heaven has gained one heck of a cowboy!Survived by his wife, Eirien, daughter, Kathy (Randy), Pam (Devin), Brittany & Brooke and son Brent (Lia) Shea & Tori.A celebration of life was held on June 21 at the “Long Farm”.

The Long family would like to thank the Houston Ambulance crew, the staff at the BV District Hospital and the staff at the Houston Residential Care facility for their

wonderful care and compassion. Also, thank you to all the thoughtful, caring people that sent cards, food & flowers.

The support was truly overwhelming!
