Houston Today, September 16, 2015

By Xuyun ZengHouston TodayHouston Link to Learning has just received two grants totalling at $55,691 that will fund its programs.A B.C. government press release revealed Houston received the largest chunk of the $204,691 grant among the Nechako Lakes municipalities named. The press release said the grant aimed to provide residents with

the literacy skills they need to participate in B.C.s growing economy.

Were a non-pro t literacy organization and this grant is from the Ministry of Advanced Education, Houston Link to Learning manager Marian Ells said. Weve been fortunate enough to receive funding in two categories for adult literacy and family literacy.

Weve been

receiving this grant from the Ministry of Advanced Education for some years, so this is great.

Among the $55,691, $28,484 and $27,207 will go towards the Houston Link to Learnings family and adult programs, respectively.

Family literacy is anything from adults working on their own, adults and children together, parenting and children on their own

sometimes. And then adult [literacy] is more focused on the adults, Ells said. The Food

Skills for Families, although its food skills for families, that is one that focuses a lot on the adults and teaching healthy eating, and basic budgeting and food skills. Whereas some of our drop-ins are more family-oriented with the kids and kids activities as well included.

They are currently in the planning stages for their future programs, but teased some details.

We are going

to be offering lots of adult and family literacy programming throughout the year, Ells said. Including things like Food Skills for Families programs, Nobodys Perfect Parenting. Were already doing the community garden and that will continue for a month.

Well have some adult and family literacy drop-in programming and some Family Nights.

Houston Link to Learning works in partnership with the Northwest Community College, where it is housed. They run many programs in the facility.

We couldnt do it without the partnership, we wouldnt get the funding without the partnership, Ells said. We de nitely want to celebrate that weve got the funding and that were offering literacy program for everybody.

Forestry needs skilled workers

By Flavio NienowBlack Press

The Forest Products Association of Canada (FPAC) estimates that the for-est products industry will be hiring 60,000 new workers across Canada in the next ve years.

One of the rea-sons we need workers is because many of the baby boomers in the current workforce are retiring, explained Susan Murray, Vice-President of Public Relations for FPAC. But there are other important reasons as well unlike the en-ergy, mining and many other industries, the forest products indus-try is growing in size.

According to the federal government, in 2014, the value of Canadas forest prod-

uct exports increased by 9.8 per cent over 2013, rising to $30.8 billion from $28.4 bil-lion. Furthermore the industry has been shaping up to a dy-namic new face.

Burns Lake songwriters Doug and Marnie Phair are pleased to announce the unveiling of their very first CD, "The Main Thing - A God Project". Come help them celebrate the completion of their dream! Enjoy a sneak preview of the songs, meet the artists and backup musicians, and chat with CD producer Doug Perry.

An estimated 60,000 new forest workers needed- pulp, paper and lumber - are being used to create new prod-ucts such as renewable bio-fuels, green bio-plastics, bio-pharma-ceuticals, bulletproof vests, car parts and airplane wings. Since the industry has become more innovative, diverse and techni-cally advanced, there is a grow-ing need for new types of skilled workers.

The long list of workers that the industry requires include biologists, millwrights, elec-tricians, engineers, sales staff, truck drivers, foresters, chem-ists, economist and risk analysts and IT specialists.

According to Murray, com-panies are already facing chal-lenges to nd the skilled workers

they need. That is why the FPAC is now working to rebrand the industry in order to attract younger people and a wider range of professionals.

Many people thought that the forest products industry was a sunset industry; we need to convince young people that in-stead the industry is modern and future oriented, said Murray.

The FPAC has launched a campaign called The Greenest Workforce in an effort to con-nect young professionals to em-ployers, as well as to rebrand the forest products industry as a green industry.

Unlike the oil and gas indus-try, we are part of the solution to climate change as the world moves to a low carbon econo-

my, said Murray. The forest products industry is an industry that understands the value of a renewable natural resource and it is always striving to nd smart new ways to do more with wood bre.

In the story Millennials, these career sectors are worth considering published in The Globe and Mail on Aug. 24, 2015, the forest products indus-try was selected as one of the most promising industries for young Canadian professionals.

We feel that the forest indus-try is becoming more attractive, said Murray.

Houston Today

How likely are teenagers to wake up at 5 a.m. every morning?

For the army cadets that just went to camp in Vernon, waking up just after sunrise became their daily reality for the weeks they spent down there.

At around 5 a.m., cadets would wake up, get dressed, lled their canteens, form up and go to the cookhouse for breakfast. At various times, cadets would get their bunks inspected, and if their superiors had type A personalities, a single wrinkle on the bed can get these cadets down on their fours doing push-ups as punishment, all while enduring the Southern Interiors heat.

Except for Charlie Company cadets, most did not go there just to learn basic military r e g i m e n t a t i o n . They went there to specialize in various skills.

Theres band, there is expedition, drill and ceremonial, marksmanship, basic sports and tness, Cadet Master Warrant Of cer Jonathan Jaspers, who trained as a clarinetist in Bravo Company, said.

Depending on the

level of the course, they would spend two to seven weeks practising these skills. The shortest course was the two-week general training course, while the instructor-level and advanced courses tend to go for six weeks.

C a d e t s interviewed would

point out that Echo Company went through the hardest training of them all the expedition course.

In the beginning of the six weeks, we did the tness test, to make sure everybody was at the right level for expedition. Because if youre below the level you need to be then you fail the course, Cadet Master Cpl. Taylor Kopetski said. We had a lot of lessons in the beginning.

K o p e t s k i participated in the instructor course which meant that she had to hone her pedagogical skills in

addition to learning how to operate and maintain a bicycle, going canoeing and hiking, and going on multiple-day eld trips.

We were kind of getting trained on how to do all of this by ourselves and teach other people how to do it.

The course

culminated in the solo portion.

They take you out in the middle of nowhere, she said. Mine was in between legitimately two trees, and that was it. And what we had to do is we had to make a shelter.

The goal was to survive for 24 hours. Other cadets from her company were given spots around her, but she had to keep to herself.

Youre not allowed to talk to anybody, and if you talked to someone then youd fail the course.

Tying all the companies together was a weekly

competition.We have an

award called the Pennant, which the CSM [company sergeant major] of the whole camp marks us on, so he pays attention to our overall morale, our spirits, how clean our barracks are, Cadet Cpl. Michael Taylor, who participated in

the three-week basic tness and sports training, said. So we have a Pennant inspection every week. And at the end of every week, we do a Pennant parade which we go and show off our marching and based on all that they decide who wins the Pennant for that week.

Cpl. Taylor was part of Alpha Company which won many pennant awards. They used orange as their company colour.

The CSM actually went and got orange tape and he said if we won Pennant all the time

Big changes for schoolsThe new school year is of cially underway. Even if you dont have kids in the education system, there

is still this sense that summer fun is behind us and now we must get down to business.

Roads are busier and so are everyones lives. Parents begin their everyday scramble of getting kids to and from school safely.

For some young ones, this week marks their entry into the school system. For older ones, they are entering into middle or high school. Classrooms are clean and bright, with teachers and administrators rolling out the welcome mat.

While education is always evolving big changes are coming as to how teachers teach.

The stereotypical model of educators standing in front of the classroom lecturing while students follow along from textbooks is transforming.

Instead, classrooms will be interactive with teachers discovering individual students passions. Teachers will direct and fuel those interests on a new learning path.

Its welcome change for students who dont thrive in the traditional classroom setting.

If teachers can tap into what individual students get excited about, the potential to unlock their brains from boredom and turn that into drive and passion is exciting news.

The school district is already preparing for the changes and teachers are adapting their teaching style to this new way of reaching students.

There are no two students alike. Some children thrive on tests and report deadlines others crash and burn. Change is hard for all, but this is a directive coming from the government that parents and students should support.

Individual learning has the potential to unlock bright minds which can make for a bright future. Our future leaders and innovators are in our schools.

Haisla Chief Councillor supports elected Wetsuweten leaders

For the past 30 years, the average First Nations member has had to listen to native and non-native politi-cians promising a bet-ter future. None have delivered.

Opposition is the easiest job in the world; what is dif cult is nd-ing an answer when a First Nations mother has concerns about her childs future.

Politicians are quick to shout out soundbites and get into camera shots but where are the cameras when another First Nations mem-ber takes their own life or when they pass away from highway/alcohol-related deaths? Proportionately, our

provincial and federal prisons have excess populations of our na-tive people.

On top of this, Aboriginals have never

been in a better place to improve our lot in life. Aboriginal rights and title case law has been in place under Section 35 of the Constitution since 1982. Provincial

governments and eco-nomic development project proponents want and try to talk with First Nations with inclusion in mind but

too often the conver-sation is short-lived or never takes place.

For the Haisla peo-ple, Aboriginal rights and title is only a tool to get to a better place.

It is not the solution. For anything to hap-pen, politics, econom-ics and case law have to be working towards the same goal together; not in isolation.

To be an elected aboriginal leader in todays age is to be in a position of doing whats right for your people and for the most part, that means making decisions that affect the land. It is not easy, but on my own behalf, I cant put one above the other know-ing that nobody has re-ally made the average aboriginal individual a priority in the last de-cades.

We as community-elected leaders are try-

ing to bring something back to our people. It doesnt help when higher level organiza-tions do not recognize our work or even the problems we face.

The Haisla Nation supports the elected Wetsuweten leaders in their efforts to re-solve the concerns of the Unistoten and allow work on the Coastal GasLink and Paci c Trails pipelines to proceed, as the First Nations communities along both pipelines have agreed.

Ellis Ross is Chief Councillor of the Haisla Nation and Chair of the Aboriginal Investment Council.

British Columbia marks Queens record reignBy Tom Fletcher

Black Press

British Columbia is joining the rest of the Commonwealth to mark the occasion as Queen Elizabeth II becomes Britains longest-reigning monarch this week.

Her Majesty surpasses the record of her great-great-grand-mother Queen Victoria on Wednesday, Sept. 9, making her the longest-reigning female mon-arch in history.

Born Elizabeth Alexandra

Mary on April 21, 1926, Elizabeth II became head of the Commonwealth on Feb. 6, 1952 and is serving as Queen for her 63rd year.

Lieutenant Governor Judith Guichon, the Queens representa-tive in B.C., is hosting a garden party at Government House in

Victoria on Saturday, Sept. 12 to celebrate the milestone.

The free event is open to every-one and includes music, tea ser-vice and childrens entertainment.

In the spirit of the occasion, guests are encouraged to wear their hats and gloves, says the no-tice from Government House.

Chiefs press demands with B.C. premierBy Tom Fletcher

Black Press

Premier Christy Clark and cabinet min-isters met with hun-dreds of aboriginal leaders from around B.C. Wednesday in their second annual session, with social is-sues and energy proj-ects high on the agen-da.

A b o r i g i n a l Relations Minister John Rustad opened the two-day event with an announcement that Grand Chief Ed John of the First Nations Summit has been ap-pointed a senior advi-sor on aboriginal child welfare. A lawyer and former children and families minister, John

has a six-month ap-pointment to look at reasons why one out

of seven aboriginal children in B.C. are taken into government

care at some point in their childhood.

Education Minister

Mike Bernier released the governments new teaching guide, called Aboriginal Worldviews and Perspectives in the Classroom.

The guide was de-veloped with input from First Nations, Metis and school dis-trict leaders, teachers, support staff and post-secondary institutions. It advises teachers to use contemporary his-tory sources, prefer-ably with involvement of aboriginal contrib-utors.

It advises teachers to avoid reliance on colonial-era second-ary sources (i.e. 20th century and earlier texts and resources) when discussing topics

involving aboriginal people, and contains a section on dealing with racism.

Northern B.C. leaders came to the meeting with a de-mand for greater con-sultation and scrutiny on energy projects, with disputes over the Petronas-led lique ed natural gas project at Prince Rupert, the Site C dam that has started construction on the Peace River and oil and gas pipeline pro-posals.

Fort Nelson First Nation Chief Liz Logan and nine other chiefs presented a let-ter to Clark calling on the province to recognize aboriginal laws and treaties such

as Treaty 8, signed in 1899 to protect tra-ditional hunting and shing in northeastern B.C.

Logan pointed to what she calls a p r e c e d e n t - s e t t i n g decision by B.C.s Environmental Appeal Board this week, can-celling a water licence issued to Nexen Inc. in 2012 for water from a small lake to use in hydraulic fracturing operations in the Horn River Basin.

The company pumped water out of the lake, even during drought conditions, Logan said. There were major impacts on the lake, sh, beavers and the surrounding environment.

HOPE forHOPE forHOPE forforTodayTodayGrace or Karma?

A fellow recently spoke to me about doing good things for people because, he said, it was good karma to do good deeds to others, these deeds would come back as good in a life at a later time. On the other hand if we do evil things then evil would come about in a life somewhere down the road. According to this teaching, what we do determines how our next life will be, good or bad, so we control our own destiny.

I thank God that this is absolutely not the case. If we were left to our own devises we would continually spiral down, descending into a bottomless abyss. We only need to watch the news for a few minutes to see the terrible deeds that come out of the human heart. Some of the most hopeless societies on earth base their beliefs on karma.

Gods word, the Bible, clearly teaches that The human heart is the most deceitful of all things and desperately wicked. Jeremiah 17:9 NLT. No one does good not a single one. Romans 3:12 NLT Jesus himself did not entrust himself to men, because he knew human nature. John 2:24 NLT. Even our righteous acts are as lthy rags (Isaiah 64:6). We cannot save ourselves.

The only reason we can do good is because of the good that God has already done for us. He has given us grace, which is favour that we do not deserve. If we want to live a truly meaningful and ful lled life, we must receive a new heart and a new life from God. (Ezekiel 36:26; 2 Corinthians 5:17) Then his Holy Spirit will produce love, joy and peace in our lives.

God is the only one who can forgive us and save us from ourselves. This is why Jesus, the Son of the Almighty God, came to earth and died to forgive us and to give us life. One day each of us will die and face God (Hebrews 9:27), either we will be forgiven because we believed and received the gift of salvation or we will receive the wages of our sins by being eternally separated from God. (John 3:16-18; Revelation 20:11-15)

God saved you by his grace when you believed. And you cant take credit for this, it is a gift from God. Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done, so none of us can boast about it. For we are Gods masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he has planned for us long ago. Ephesians 2:8-10 NLT Submitted by Ken Penner

B.C., chiefs pledge to work on reconciliation

Photo SubmittedPremier Christy Clark listens to Grand Chief Ed John speak at meeting with aboriginal leaders in Vancouver.

By Tom FletcherBlack Press

B.C. cabinet minis-ters and 500 aboriginal leaders emerged from two days of meet-

ings in Vancouver Thursday with a pledge to work on divi-sive resource develop-ment issues and hold a province-wide forum on aboriginal children

in government care.Premier Christy

Clark also announced the establishment of a $2 million fund for scholarships for ab-original students

pursuing post-graduate degrees, and a new set of awards for aboriginal youth athletic achievement.

S u r r e y - W h i t e Rock MLA Gordon Hogg was appointed p a r l i a m e n t a r y secretary in charge of developing the sports awards.

A framework document agreed to at the meeting commits the province and First Nations Leadership Council members to keep working on a reconciliation agreement that would settle historic land claims across the province. Clark said the agreement would have to include provisions for the unique aspects of more than 200 First Nations.

Grand Chief Ed John of the First Nations Summit said the rst two years of these province-wide meetings have gotten off to a rocky start, but expressed the hope that by year 10 well have paved the road.

In his closing speech, John re ected on his own time at a residential school,

and described a new generation of young people that is emerging from the social upheaval of that policy.

I couldnt even see my sister on the other side of the building, even though she was in the same residential school as I was, John said. That disconnect became the norm for us.

Chief Shane Gottfriedson, regional representative of the Assembly of First Nations, echoed Johns call for a resolution to land issues that started in 1859 when colonial Governor James Douglas proclaimed that all lands and resources in B.C. belong to Crown.

Chief Robert Chamberlin, vice president of the Union of B.C. Indian Chiefs, said last years landmark land title decision in favour of the Tsilhqotin Nation means action is required to address territorial claims.

It is the Canadian law that First Nations want to see implemented, he said.
