The Houston Hikers Society is getting funding from Northern Health to complete an easy-access, multi-use trail near Bymac Park.

Houston Hikers Director Jonathan

Van Barneveld says the Morice-Klinger Lake trail will be an eight kilometre series of loops across the river from Bymac Park.

The multi-use trail will have “some really neat features” and will be good for hiking, snowshoeing and possibly cross-

country skiing. It will also give

people access to the river for recreational fishing.

Their hope is to finish the trail during the summer of 2015, Van Barneveld said.

Northern Health is giving a $2,400 IMAGINE grant to help complete

the trails. It was announced by Sally Sullivan, Houston Health Centre Coordinator at the 2015 Canada Winter Games torch relay celebration at Steelhead Park last Tuesday.

“Health happens in communities where people live,

work, learn and play,” Sullivan said.

“We believe that prevention of chronic disease and injury is everyone’s responsibility.”

The IMAGINE grants focus on projects that prevent disease by promoting physical activity.

Van Barneveld

says the funding will help build bridges across a few streams, put up signs and clear trail.

The project “will be good for fitness and recreation and overall health and because it’s so close to town it will be accessible to a wider demographic,” he

said.This trail is the

first phase of a long-term project by Houston Hikers which will connect Bymac Park to Klinger Lake.

“It will be really good for the community,” he said.

Council to push for 24/7 health

Northern Health supports new Morice-Klinger hiking trail

By Jackie LieuwenHouston Today

Houston’s new mayor and council are gearing up for the challenges ahead.

Sworn in last Monday, council was welcomed by new Mayor Shane Brienen.

“We have challenges ahead of us, with failing infrastructure and budget issues,” Brienen said.

Now more then ever council will “push for better health care” and economic development.

Brienen said the community is still in transition, and coun-cil will work to help existing business and attract new business moving forward.

Council needs to “step up,” Brienen said, and build stronger partnerships with the province, n e i g h b o u r i n g communities, the regional district and

local institutions and committees.

They also need “find better ways to engage members of the community for ideas and input.”

“But I know we are up for the challenge,” he said.

Mayor and council took oaths of office on Monday, swearing to “faithfully perform the duties of office and not allow any private interest to influence [their] conduct in public matters.”

Councillors were organized by Mayor Brienen to sit on committees.

Mayor Brienen will represent council on the Regional District Board, Labour Relations, Protective & Emergency Services Executive Committee, Omenica Beetle Action Coalition (OBAC), and the Northwest Regional Hospital District Board.

BC Ferries plans online booking

BC Ferries plans to move ahead with a website upgrade that will allow passengers to pay for tickets online,

avoid reservation fees and pay variable fares depending on demand.

The computer upgrade is to be phased in starting in 2017, with a pilot project for passengers on the main Vancouver-Vancouver Island runs. The system will offer discounted fares for off-peak sailings and advance booking without the current reservation fees.

BC Ferries CEO Mike Corrigan said the project will cost $10-15 million, but based on the experience of other systems, it will increase ridership and reduce costs.

“It’s a variable priced booking system that’s used by golf courses, hotels, airlines,” Corrigan said. “It’s the way the world is moving. Depending how far in advance you book, what restrictions you’re willing to put on yourself, and when you want to play, stay or travel, you’re going to get a different price.”

The price range will be determined by the pilot projects. Passengers will still have the option of showing up at the terminal and paying to board, with a posted price that will be adjusted according to demand for that sailing.

The new booking system was proposed two years ago in a review of ferry operations by Gord Macatee, who reviewed operations when he was appointed BC Ferries Commissioner in charge of rates and service delivery. Macatee must approve the move before it can go ahead.

BC Ferries’ point-of-sale system is 25 years old, and requires manual collection of fares.

BC Ferries projects the new system will increase vehicle and passenger traffic by three to five per cent as it is extended to more routes. By adding food, gift shop and other services to the online order system, the corporation hopes to generate an annual revenue increase of $11 million to $18 million, mostly due to increased traffic.

“People can actually pay for the full ferry service, including the buffet maybe, and some other services when they pay, so when they get to the ferry terminal, they’re basically just verifying their purchase and moving onboard the vessel,” Corrigan said.

I spy with my little eyeI just spent seven

relaxing days in the warm Hawaiian sunshine with three girlfriends. My week was full of book reading, sunbathing, ocean � oating, island exploring and cocktail drinking. It also included tons of walking, a wee bit of shopping and a whole lot of people watching.

While it’s entertaining almost anywhere, people-watching seems more exciting on the active streets of a bustling area where human beings command attention for the way they look or the things they do. And in a busy spot like Waikiki, with tourists from all over the world and several conventions in high gear, we had a lot to look at.

We saw at least a dozen brides,

tons of sailors in uniform, body building competitors, cross dressers, street performers, tourists wearing surgical masks and countless folks carrying around extendable handheld phone sticks to take better sel� es.

People-watching on the beach was even more interesting with the vast array of bodies, tattoos and bathing suits to discreetly observe behind our dark sunglasses.

But was anyone ever watching us?

Well, I know for sure that some of them were on our last full day when we ventured up island to Sandy Beach Park, a popular spot for experienced surfers who know how to handle the enormous waves and dangerous

shore break.After several hours

of lying on the beach watching the talented locals surf and the frolicking tourists get tossed around by the sea, I went to the restroom. When I returned to the spot where one of my girlfriends and I had been basking in the sun she was still lying on her back sleeping. I was just about to settle down beside her when I saw the biggest wave I’d ever seen in my life coming straight for us.

“Holy crap!” I shrieked - although I’m almost certain the phrase I used consisted of a different second word than that. Jen immediately opened her eyes, saw the wave approaching and pounced upright. Panicked, we grabbed our iPhones, purses and towels and started

running away from the shore. As the enormous wave caught our legs, my towel was snatched back by the ocean.

When I went to dig it out of the wet sand my friend noticed that her right nipple had popped out of her bikini and there was a gaggle of gawkers who clearly didn’t mind. Morti� ed, she yanked on her top to cover it back up, but pulled the fabric so hard that her left one also made an appearance.

The sunbathing on-lookers were all laugh-ing, and so was I. The entire incident felt hys-terical as it was hap-pening, but since Jen’s such a prude and never one to seek attention about her body, it be-came increasingly fun-nier to me as the day progressed.

It almost felt like

it was payback for all the free entertainment we’d received people-watching on our trip.

Jen would have much preferred that I pay the price rather than her, but I’m sure she’s grateful it all happened too fast for anyone to grab their phones and start tak-ing video, because hi-larity like that could have gone viral. It’s too bad that it didn’t.

Sorry, Jennifer. Anything for a laugh.

Malaysian oil and gas giant Petronas has put off its � nal investment decision on a large-scale lique� ed natural gas project until some time in 2015, but it’s not because of B.C.’s taxes and conditions, says Natural Gas D e v e l o p m e n t Minister Rich Coleman.

Paci� c Northwest LNG, a consortium led by Petronas for a pipeline and terminal at the Prince Rupert port, issued a statement Wednesday citing construction

costs and federal approvals it still needs for a pipeline and plants worth $36 billion.

“Costs associated with the pipeline and LNG facility remain challenging and must be reduced further before a positive � nal investment decision can be undertaken,” the statement says. “At the same time, Paci� c Northwest LNG will continue to work to secure necessary regulatory and other approvals from the government of Canada.”

Coleman said he was consulted on

the statement and remains optimistic about the project going ahead. The province set its tax and greenhouse gas rules for LNG projects during the fall legislature session,

and completed agreements with the

Nisga’a Nation to allow a gas pipeline to pass through their territory to the coast.

“It was always clear that once they got our piece completed, they would move on to making sure

their numbers across the board with their

partners work,” Coleman said. “That’s the pipeline, the upstream cost for gas plants, that’s the LNG plant itself, which they would build in Port Edward.”

Petronas CEO

Shamsul Azhar Abbas said the decision will be made as soon as possible.

“This is vital in light of the current intense market environment and for Paci� c Northwest LNG not to lose out on long-term contracts to competitive United States LNG projects,” Abbas said.

NDP natural gas critic Bruce Ralson called the decision “a setback,” noting that BG Group also cited U.S. competition in its recent decision to delay a � nal decision

on its project for the Prince Rupert area.

Petronas LNG delay not due to BC, Coleman says

By Tom FletcherBlack Press

As negotiations for B.C.’s � rst large-scale lique� ed natural gas export project reach their critical days, NDP leader John Horgan has a message for investors: expect to pay more tax under an NDP government.

Executives of Malaysian state ener-gy company Petronas were in Vancouver Monday for what may be their � nal meeting with B.C. of� cials be-fore deciding whether to proceed with an

$11 billion invest-ment in a pipeline and LNG processing at the Prince Rupert port.

Paci� c Northwest LNG is a cornerstone of B.C.’s bid to enter the Asian energy mar-ket. The fall legislature session was devoted almost entirely to the emerging industry, setting in place a tax structure, carbon emis-sion rules and a series of agreements with the Nisga’a Nation to enable TransCanada Corp. to build a 900-km pipeline from northeast gas � elds to the North Coast.

Horgan said he in-structed NDP MLAs to vote in favour of the 3.5 per cent LNG tax that emerged from negotiations with in-vestors, because they need “certainty” to make � nal investment decisions. The sur-prise support came after NDP MLAs de-nounced the tax ar-rangement as a sellout of provincial resourc-es, leaving Green Party MLA Andrew Weaver and inde-pendent MLA Vicki Huntington alone in voting against it.

“If we’re going to

get to � nal investment decisions, we need to have a tax frame-work,” Horgan told reporters after the LNG legislation was passed into law. “I be-lieve the framework is inadequate, I’ve said that, I will say that to the companies when I meet with them, and they should know that when the government changes in 2017, I’m going to be wanting to look at those agree-ments.”

In debate, B.C. Liberal MLAs repeat-edly questioned the NDP’s professed sup-

port for LNG, refer-ring to the party’s call for an investigation of hydraulic fractur-ing that has been con-ducted in B.C. since the 1960s. And the NDP denounced and opposed the govern-ment’s move to regu-late greenhouse gas “intensity” rather than cap emissions for LNG plants.

Petronas CEO Shamsul Azhar Abbas has been outspoken about the cost of LNG development in B.C. In October, Abbas warned that federal and provincial rules

and taxes “threaten the global competi-tiveness of the Paci� c Northwest LNG proj-ect.”

In his quarterly � -nancial update last week, B.C. Finance Minister Mike de Jong said the low and � uc-tuating price for natu-ral gas in a shale-gas-rich North American market still indicates the Asia export market is viable.

“The proof of that, of course, will be � nal investment decisions from proponents,” de Jong said.

Horgan sparked

controversy on a re-cent trip to Prince Rupert, where he ex-pressed doubts about Petronas and another LNG proposal for Prince Rupert that has been delayed by lead proponent British Gas Group.

Petronas is lead-ing a consortium that includes Chinese, Japanese, Indian and Brunei investors. Petronas paid $5 bil-lion last year to take over Progress Energy Canada, which has major shale gas hold-ings in northeast B.C. and Alberta.

NDP leader wants to increase LNG tax

- Pacific Northwest LNG statement


Community BuilderFeaturing the stories and spirit of the local people


After a trek out to the Babine Lake Barge, a fi fteen minute ride across the lake and a half-hour drive along a maze of logging roads,

you’ll venture upon the old Bell Mine. On one side of the road is the old mine pit, half-full of

water with shelves of rock layer the pit edges. On the other side is the water treatment plant in

construction, and beyond that the waters of Babine Lake. John Stroiazzo, Glencore Reclamations Manager, says

the treatment plant is a $32 million project which is over 90 percent complete.

Glencore took over Bell Mine when they merged with Xstrata in May 2013, and they’re building the treatment plant as part of the 1992 mine closure plan.

Construction on the plant started May 2014 and will be complete in early-January 2015, Stroiazzo said.

Managed by SNC-Lavalin, the construction project contracted work to several local companies including Monster Industries, Tower Communication, Belvedere Place Contracting and Glacier Electric.

Work crews stayed in a 160-person camp on the east side of Babine Lake.

Stroiazzo says the plant will be run by one operator and will start up in May 2015.

It will run three months of every year until all the rock that was mined has fully oxidized and there’s no more acid runoff.

“It could be over 100 years,” he said.

Tailings from the old Bell Mine are now dry and contained underground. Where the tailings pond once stood, now a long, grassy hill stretches out behind the mine.

Sean O’Connell, Bell Mine Manager, says water runoff from the tailings hill is collected at ten different stations circling the area and is pumped into the old mine pit.

From the pit, water is pumped to the plant, where it’s mixed with lime and other elements to neutralize the acidic material and separate the metals from the water.

Next the water goes into a settling tank, where the

metal residue is collected at the bottom and pumped to another tailings pond.

The clean water runs off the top, and is pumped to a polishing pond, where it is stirred to ensure equal concentrations throughout and allow for a consistent quality of water to be released into Babine Lake.

O’Connell and Stroiazzo said most mines don’t have that last step in the process anymore.

“It’s not necessary but it’s a good thing to have,” Stroiazzo said.

“It gives you the added insurance that everything is going to work well.”

Police are asking for donations Saturday to Cram the Cruiser with food for Salvation Army.

“We’re hoping to exceed last year’s over-whelming support,” said RCMP Sergeant Stephen Rose.

There will be free candy canes for supporters and a visit from RCMP Safety Bear at noon.

“On any given day we see people in our community that are less fortunate then ourselves,” said Sgt. Rose. “We would like to bring attention to the great work that the Salvation Army does at this time of year for the less fortunate and help lessen their work by delivering them a cruiser full of food.”

Donations can be dropped off at the station or picked up bu police on or before Dec. 13. Call 250-845-2204 to arrange for pick up.

forTodayEducation in

Eternal ThingsHe was a faller most of his life. He is acclaimed by others

in the industry as one of the best who ever practiced the art of hand falling trees. He fell many trees 6 to 8 feet in diameter with the largest being 13.5 feet in diameter. He fell trees in the opposite direction of their lean by using jacks to jack them away from � sh bearing streams. He learned the trade in the School of Hard Knocks and had a keen eye and a sixth sense when it came to sizing up each tree as he knocked them down in a pattern that made the job of the skidder man a lot easier. This man is a legend in the logging industry. He had very little formal education but I believe he should be awarded a Doctorate in Hand Falling.

Though Schools, Colleges and Universities de� nitely have their place in society we often ignore the fact that we are all learning through everyday events in our life. Much of our education is acquired outside of the formal learning institutions. We can even learn from the creation around us. (Job 12:7) God is speaking to us through all he has created and through his word the Bible. All the worldly knowledge we pick up either formally or through day to day experience will never replace that of getting to know and having an intimate relationship with the Almighty God. The most important education we can have is to learn to know the Lord and to follow in his path.

My friend, the hand faller, has committed his life to the Lord and is learning what it means to be a follower of Jesus. His expert knowledge in the logging industry was of temporary importance but his faith and learning of things of God is eternal.

“Listen to the words of the wise; apply your heart to my instruction. For it is good to keep these sayings in your heart and always ready on your lips……I am teaching you today – yes you - so you will trust in the LORD.” Proverbs 22:17,19 NLT

Jesus said “Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will � nd rest for your souls.” Matthew 10:29 NLT Submitted by Ken Penner
