Houston Today, June 25, 2014

By Jackie LieuwenHouston Today

Houston twin boys were drafted into the Western Hockey League and are one step closer to ful� lling their NHL dream.

Josh and Tyler Maser were born and raised in Houston and now, at 15, were

drafted by the WHL Prince Albert Raiders.

The twins were in school on draft day, and Tyler says all the boys their age had their phones out, “refreshing every 15 or so seconds” to see who was getting picked.

“The teachers were getting so mad at us that day,” Josh said.

Josh was in Science class when his name came up.

“I wasn’t on my phone when it happened, and then all my friends said ‘Aw, you got drafted!’ and I was like “Oh, cool!” he said. “I was pretty excited.”

Josh was picked in the fourth round, 74th

overall by the Raiders. A day later the

family got a call from the Raiders General Manager saying they wanted to sign Tyler too.

“I was pretty happy,” Tyler said. “It’s pretty exciting.”

The draft was the climax of a great bantam hockey

season.The twins started

their minor hockey in Houston, coached by their Dad Brian Maser.

But Houston hockey is tier four, so they decided as a family two years ago that the twins and Mom Val would move to Penticton during

the winters, so the boys could play tier two hockey.

“We try to make it happen for the kids,” Val said. “If these guys want to play hockey, then we’re going to do whatever it takes to help them get there.”

Val said the boys made the Penticton Junior Vees bantam

team very easily, and had an incredible season this year.

“It was a lot faster and people took it a lot more competitively,” Tyler said.

Playing for the Vees under Coach Rob McLaughlin, Tyler said his game really improved.

Houston brand up for vote

Houston twins drafted into Western Hockey League


Two Houston brand options are up for public vote as of last Friday.

The two slogans, “Real Life. Real People,” and “Naturally Amazing,” will voted on until Friday, July 11, along with two logo options. Votes will determine how Houston will be branded for future marketing.

The branding and website update project has a $63,000 budget, with $55,000 covered by grants. The District paid $38,000 for a contract with Thornley Creative Communications for developing the brand.

C o n s u l t a n t s Chris and Lawanda Thornley, met with Houston business people, residents and high school students in mid-April to talk about the values and strengths of the community.

From that they developed the brands presented now.

The public can cast votes at the

District of� ce or on the Chamber of Commerce or District of Houston websites. See page 8 in this paper for graphics of the options.

Irrigation Lake stakeholders are saving the lake and plan to exceed dam safety standards.

In June last year, stakeholders got a letter from the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations, threatening to remove the dam and drain Irrigation Lake if the dam wasn’t upgraded and no water licence holder stepped forward.

Stakeholders met and organized last summer and hired an engineer to develop a plan.

Funded by a $10,000 donation from the Bulkley Valley Credit Union, Water Resources Engineer Carl Pentilchuk spent the winter drafting the plan.

S t a k e h o l d e r s ditched the idea of upgrading the old dam, opting for a new “gold standard” dam, said Steve Page, representative for Irrigation Lake stakeholders.

“We wanted to keep the water level high during construction and during the whole summer. Otherwise we would have had to drop the water level a lot for the entire

summer and it would take a long time to refill up again, possibly more then even next spring.”

The cost is $80,000 without donations or volunteers, but Page says the dam will be stronger and it will minimize risk of dam failure.

The “Irrigation Lake stakeholders” are also taking on the water licence and liability for the dam, Page said. That group includes Rough Acres Bible Camp, Rock Nest Ranch, and the neighbours (Bells and Spooners).

“We’ve heard nothing from the District of Houston,” Page said.

Mayor Bill Holmberg said the District wouldn’t take part in bringing the dam to standard.

“We don’t have the money,” he said.

The stakeholder group is submitting their plan to the Ministry and if approved, they’ll begin construction early-September.

Their next challenge will be finding donations and volunteers for the dam construction.

“There will be a sluice gate, a culvert, and some concrete work and that will be more then stakeholders can handle, so we will be looking for donations and volunteers for those things,” Page said.

He added that they already have some people who are willing to donate and volunteer.

“We’re looking forward to working with those people,” he said.

Page thanks Ken Thomson who has helped by offering

knowledge based on his experience in emergency preparedness and building dykes. Page also thanks the Credit Union for supplying the engineering costs thus far.

Jackie Lieuwen/Houston TodayThe two Bible camps and two neighbours on Irrigation Lake are forming a group to take on the water licence and liability for the Irrigation Lake dam.

Irrigation Lake stakeholders claim the dam

“I got way faster, I got a better shot and my positioning is bet-ter,” he said.

The Vees won tier two Provincials this season and the Kamloops I n t e r n a t i o n a l Bantam Ice Hockey Tournament (KIBIT).

Josh was the top scorer in the Okanagan league and Tyler was third top scorer on their team.

“They were almost unbeatable,” Val said, adding that through-out the season this year, scouts littered the stands every game.

Josh said significant people were Coach Rob McLaughlin and Dad and Houston minor hockey coach

Brian. “And Mom, she left

her job and everything just to move down to Penticton with us,” he said.

Josh and Tyler train everyday, making shots in the backyard and hitting the gym or else running behind Val on the ATV.

They’re gear-ing up for the Prince Albert rookie camp in August.

Josh said going to-gether will probably give them an advan-tage, since they’ve been playing together their whole life.

“I hope to play in the WHL for five years, and then hope-fully get drafted into the NHL,” Josh said. “Canucks or L.A.”

“Anaheim,” Tyler said.

Teacher demands are ‘too high’

The latest offer by the B.C. Teachers’ Federation to settle its strike has moved the union farther from the “zone of

settlement” established by other public sector unions, Education Minister Peter Fassbender said Thursday.

With a strike underway that could run until the end of the school year, Fassbender said neither mediation nor a legislated settlement is being considered.

Peter Cameron, chief negotiator for the B.C. Public School Employers’ Association, said the latest union proposal would bring the compensation increase for teachers from 12.5% over � ve years to 14.5%. On wages and bene� ts alone, Cameron said that is more than twice the increase other unions, including school support staff employees, have accepted.

The BCTF added to its proposal of an 8% wage increase over � ve years this week with a proposed $225 million fund paid out over � ve years to settle thousands of grievances � led over the past decade. Those grievances sought to return class size caps and specialist teacher levels that were removed from the contract by legislation, and were ordered restored by a B.C. Supreme Court decision that is now under appeal.

The union wants a second $225 million annual fund to fund ongoing class size and special needs support.

“It is well into the $2 billion range,” Fassbender said of the union proposal. “It’s unaffordable for taxpayers.”

BCTF president Jim Iker said the union’s proposal is fair in light of the latest court decision.

“Evidence from the government’s own of� cials presented in B.C. Supreme Court shows the government has stripped $275 million per year from B.C.’s public education system,” Iker said.

Fassbender said that misrepresents the situation, because the government has put an extra $1 billion a year into the education system since taking class size and compensation out of the teacher contract.

It has been spent in different ways, such as learning assistants who are not teachers, full-day kindergarten and a $75 million annual “learning improvement fund” to address class size and special needs support, Fassbender said.

Bursting the boredom bubbleYears before I was

a mother, my hus-band and I babysat our young niece and nephew for the week-end. We were living in Vancouver and want-ed to show them a good time so we took them to restaurants for meals, ice cream parlours for desserts, and costly tourist at-tractions for entertain-ment. We also took them to the arcade and the movies.

After two days of running around town, emptying my pock-etbook and trying to keep up with the two Energizer bunnies, I felt exhausted and wondered if I would ever be ready to be a parent. And then I heard two words I felt con� rmed the answer was no: “I’m bored,” the older one sighed loudly.

I was shocked as I heard the younger one agree: “Me too.”

I couldn’t believe it. We’d been having a blast and I couldn’t imagine what more we could have done to entertain these young-sters.

“Only boring peo-ple get bored,” I re-sponded.

I don’t think they understood what I meant by that, but it was something my mom said to me when I was a kid, and it al-ways stuck.

It seemed to work on them as well. At least temporarily. Our next activity was blowing bubbles, and though it was far less expensive and much simpler than anything else we’d done, the kids seemed to have the most fun with it.

The next day, after they’d gone home, I told my friend about the experience and my concern that I’d never have enough energy to be a mother. She

laughed and said it’s different when the kids are your own. She was right.

I have two children now. Sam and Daisy are turning 14 and 11 this summer, and while I’ve treated them to things like I did with my nephew and niece, the bulk of their enter-tainment is left up to them, just like it was left up to me when I was a kid.

With school break-ing for the summer, it’s a good time to re-mind myself of that. I want to hang out and make memories with them, but they have a lot more vacation time than I do.

And if they run out of ideas of things to do, a reminder of inexpensive activi-ties could be helpful to them, so I made a list and attached it to the fridge. Part of it I got from suggestions I found when I searched

the internet, and part of it was from a brain-storming session with Sam and Daisy.

We had fun compil-ing the list and came up with some great ideas on what we could do together – with friends and fam-ily as well.

Most of my best memories as a kid weren’t from the pric-ey vacations, but from simple pleasures that didn’t cost much at all. Playing games, riding bikes, running through sprinklers, throwing water balloons, skip-ping rope, tenting in the back yard – the possibilities seemed endless.

Solo pursuits were enjoyable as well. My kids tend to turn to electronics such as the computer, phone or television when they’re on their own, so we made a separate list of solitary activities that don’t involve technol-

ogy, things that kids from the old days used to do.

While Sam and Daisy can easily amuse themselves with the digital world, I want them to appreciate the simple, pure fun of life that surrounds them. Just like I did in the olden days, so far back, the kids tease that I traveled by wag-on.

Well, some us did travel by wagon I guess. The station wagon was one sweet ride.

“It’s really well built. It’s fast, flowey and it’s fun and I think it really captures the character

of the area. You can see everything, you can see the town and it really

makes it feel like you’re experiencing the area.”

Joanne WilliamsSmithers

“I think it’s a fantastically designed trail. It’s a beautiful

intermediate-level trail. It’s new and it needs to be packed in a bit, but

it’s got great terrain and it’s a fantastic trail to

start with. It’s a good basis.”

Martin LittlejohnVancouver

“It has tremendous potential. It needs a lot more riders to pack it down, but a

great introduction trail for mountain biking. It has flow and smaller exciting features

and it’s enough to really draw interest. It’s great that

it’s so close to town, right out the back door. More people should go out and see it.”

Ben HeemskerkSmithers

“There’s more to trails be built, but the one

that’s in there is a great intermediate trail. It’s got lots of variety, and

needs to see more traffic to get packed in a bit

more, but it’s a fantastic anchor trail.

It’s a great start.”

Ottawa approves Enbridge pipeline project

From Kitimat to Victoria, opponents are preparing to � ght the Enbridge Northern Gateway pipeline proposal, after it was given federal approval Tuesday.

A group of B.C. aboriginal communities issued a statement Tuesday vowing to go to court to protect their aboriginal title and rights on the land affected by the twin pipeline and tanker port for diluted

bitumen on Douglas Channel.

A b o r i g i n a l opponents in the North Coast region include the Haida, Gitgaat, Heiltsuk and Haisla First Nations, as well as communities in the B.C. Interior.

Haisla Chief Councillor Ellis Ross, whose community is at the end of Douglas Channel and who is involved in a natural gas export project, said it is too late for more consultations.

“Every mistake they’ve made we actually pointed out to them and said ‘this is not following our case law principles, you’re making a mistake’,” Ross said Tuesday. “But they went ahead and did it. It is going to be court.”

Northern Gateway project leader Janet Holder said she will continue to work to build on the 26 equity agreements the company has reached with aboriginal

communities along the proposed pipeline route.

Kitimat Mayor Joanne Monaghan said her council has made its opposition clear, after an April community vote that came down opposed to the project.

“I think most of the councillors are of the opinion that they really don’t want to see bitumen going down the channel,” Monaghan said. “They would rather

have it re� ned and have a product that’s re� ned going down the channel.”

B.C. NDP leader John Horgan said he wants resource development that creates jobs in B.C., particularly for aboriginal communities. Horgan said the B.C. Liberal government gave up its opportunity to oppose Northern Gateway.

B.C. Environment Minister Mary Polak rejected that claim,

saying the province gave a clear “no” in its � nal submission to the federal review panel.

Discussions with Alberta, Enbridge and oil producers continue to see if B.C.’s conditions for land and ocean protection as well as a “fair share” of bene� ts for B.C. can be met, Polak said.

By Tom FletcherBlack Press

The federal C o n s e r v a t i v e government has approved Enbridge’s Northern Gateway oil pipeline project, despite widespread opposition in B.C. that includes the provincial g o v e r n m e n t , First Nations, e n v i r o n m e n t a l organizations and residents of the intended oil tanker port of Kitimat.

Natural Resources Minister Greg Rickford signalled the government’s approval in a low-key statement

Tuesday that endorsed the 209 conditions imposed by a federal review. Rickford noted that the proponent still needs to consult with aboriginal communities and secure provincial permits.

Prime Minister Stephen Harper has emphasized it is in the national interest to open a new pipeline route to the Paci� c Ocean to carry Alberta oil sands bitumen and break the Canadian oil industry’s dependence on U.S. markets.

But a continuing battle over the pipeline plan is expected in the

courts, and potentially on the land, where civ-il disobedience has al-ready been threatened.

Opposition de-mands to reject the project dominated question period in the House of Commons Tuesday. NDP lead-er Thomas Mulcair called the review panel process “a sham,” and Skeena-Bulkley Valley NDP MP Nathan Cullen warned that opposition in B.C. may upset plans to develop lique� ed natu-ral gas exports in the province.

The project doesn’t yet meet Premier Christy Clark’s � ve

conditions for new heavy oil pipelines, which include world leading marine and land spill protections, resolution of aboriginal concerns and a fair share of bene� ts for B.C.

B.C. Environment Minister Mary Polak said the decision means the project meets the � rst of � ve conditions required by the province, a suc-cessful federal review.

“We recognize the bene� ts that the Northern Gateway project may bring, but they will not be at the expense of our envi-ronment,” Polak said.

The decision by the Harper cabinet follows last December’s rul-ing by a federal review panel that the $6.8-bil-lion project should proceed, subject to 209 conditions.

That followed Enbridge’s earlier pledges to improve the project’s safety with thicker steel and other measures along the 1,177-kilometre route.

The twin pipelines would carry 525,000 barrels per day of diluted bitumen from the oil sands west to Kitimat and send condensate to act as a thinning agent east to Alberta.

Her crown came from New Mexico, but when Houston’s own Rebecca Dallaire won the fi rst-ever Smithers Rodeo Queen contest, the moment was totally Bulkley Valley.

When a stubborn sash worn by one of her fellow rodeo royalties needed a pin, it came courtesy of a spectator who happened to have a spare in his arm sling.

And high among the diamond driller’s caps and Western art given out as door prizes at the Aug.18 coronation was an egg carton fi lled with home-made fi re-starter and a bag of garden-fresh potatoes.

If that sounds too homespun a prize for such a regal event, the three girls who competed this year had plenty of sparkle on their crowns, belt buckles and metallic blue riding chaps to out-shine it.

Dallaire’s mother Bibs says the sparkling side of the contest, which combines fashion, speaking and horsemanship events, is some-thing best left to her daughter.

“She likes shiny things,” she says with a laugh. “She’s like a magpie.”

Dallaire’s father Marcel also more toward rodeo than royalty.

“I think they should all have to ride a bull,” he joked. “The one who’s under 8.2 seconds gets to keep the crown!”

But speaking with Dallaire and her fel-low rodeo princesses Amber Gregorowich and Adele Murray, it’s clear that for them too, being rodeo royalties means more than a smile and a slow wave.

Now 22 years old, Dallaire has been riding horses since before she could walk.

And while she likes to show horses, Dallaire says her biggest thrill is barrel racing.

“Your heart gets racing as soon as you come through the gate,” she says. “Everything hap-pens incredibly fast—you don’t have time to make mistakes.”

“If you mess up in your pattern and lose half or even a tenth of a second, that could change your position from fi rst to fi fth and your payout might not even happen.”

Dallaire watches rodeo and racetrack events all over North America, keeping a sharp eye on

how different horse breeds and bloodlines are doing.

Paint and quarter horses are favourites for barrel racing, she says.

“They’re built to take off from a standstill into high speed, and they handle corners really well also.”

Of the two, her mother Bibs says she likes paint horses best.

“They say on the fi fth day, God created the horse and on the sixth day he painted all the good ones.”

Rodeo princess Amber Gregorowich agrees.A confi dent speaker who won this year’s

award for speech craft, Gregorowich warns that she could talk about paints forever.

“Paint horses are my favourite breed because there one of the most versatile horses, and no two look the same,” she says.

“You can do jumping, you can do barrel rac-ing, Western pleasure, they make amazing kids’ horses, they drive, and they’re not as skittish or spooky as some other breeds.”

At 23, Gregorowich has plenty of Smithers and Terrace horse shows under her belt already, but in the next two years she hopes to scout out the world show for paint horses in Fort Worth, Texas.

“It’s the best of the best,” she says, adding that she would like nothing better than to win at Fort Worth with a Bulkley Valley-bred horse.

“If you go down to worlds with a horse that

was bred in a small town and you beat some of these big shots, it’s a great feeling,” she said.

Three months ago, her well-named horse Crayola had a foal that Gregorowich plans to train up in Alberta and Oklahoma.

“I’m hoping she can be my world contend-er,” she says.

The youngest of this year’s rodeo royals, Adele Murray says the contest was her fi rst time giving a public speech, let alone a TV in-terview.

Murray did great, says organizer Andi Houl-den, picking up the award for Most Improved Public Speaker.

At home, Murray keeps eight fi sh and a cat named Chevy along with her one and only horse, Chip.

“I was on a riding lesson and I ended up rid-ing her and fell in love,” Murray said.

“I said ‘I want this one—I don’t care about any of the others.”

Murray bugged her dad about Chip for years until one fi ne December day in 2008.

“I woke up that Christmas morning and she was standing outside,” she says.

Chip is a fast horse, Murray said, a thorough-bred and quarter-horse cross who is more into gymkhanas and barrel racing than showing.

Murray also came to the contest without a lot of show experience, but her confi dence grew after a practice session she held at her house in the weeks before.

“We had good times,” she says. Each of the girls took a practice spin down a pretend “run-way” that stretched from her kitchen to the liv-ing room, she added, with coaching from former Williams Lake rodeo queen Savannah Davies.

As for who fi nally won the queen’s crown or the princess tiaras, Murray said the three friends agreed it was no big deal.

“We’re all good,” she said, smiling.Smithereens got their fi rst chance to meet

their rodeo royals during the fall fair last week-end and Rodeo Queen Rebecca Dallaire will be riding a paint horse made for celebrity.

“He’ll defi nitely be the prettiest horse there,” says Rebecca’s mother. “He’s the Ashton Kutch-er of the horse world.”

“He thinks he’s a male model, he really does.”

“By Jackie LieuwenHouston Today

Body builder Claudia Brietzke is headed to nationals next year after earn-ing second in a recent B.C. competition.

Her second competitive show, the Western Canadian Classic in Kelowna, is sponsored by the B.C. Amateur Body Building Association and is a tested show (no stimulants).

Winning second in the Class E Bikini Division was a pleasant surprise for Brietzke, and quali� ed her for provin-cials and the national-level world quali-� ers which she’ll compete in next year.

She says training for the show is hard, especially because guidelines are very general and nonspeci� c.

“It’s always hit and miss,” she said, adding that it felt really good to win sec-ond.

“It was shocking in a good way, but I feel like I earned it.”

Brietzke has been training for the show since January with a speci� c meal plan and exercise regime.

Her strength training and cardio workouts are � ve or six days per week, guided by online � tness coach Caitlyn Bellamy.

She also has a goal-speci� c meal plan, and both her eating and training changes every few weeks based on her � tness level.

“There’s a whole Science to it, it’s pretty in depth,” she said.

Brietzke started eating healthier January 1, 2013 and began an “Insanity” exercise program a month later.

“Going into it, all I wanted to do was get into good, beach-body shape, and then I thought, ‘well, I need something to work towards.’”

That’s when she started body build-

ing in June 2013, training for her � rst show, the Sandra Wickham Fall Classic last November.

After placing 13th there, Brietzke says she “got really stubborn.”

“I thought, ‘Well, I have to redeem myself,’ so I trained into this show,” she said, adding that she didn’t expect to do so well.

“I don’t know where I want to take it. I would love to take it to nationals next year.”

Brietzke says she likes the mindset and backstage camaraderie at the com-petitions.

“You get to meet a lot of really cool girls.”

“What I like best about it is that ev-erybody is striving to be better then they were last time, verses competing with the girls beside you.”

“The reason I keep doing it is because I enjoy doing the prep in the months leading up to it, but also to be a good example.”

Starting up personal training in Houston, Brietzke is getting certi� -cation though the Canadian Fitness Professionals (CanFitPro) and seeking to be an example.

“I think you need to be a product of the product. Practice what you preach, right?”

Area-based verses volume-based forest tenuresBy Steven Maisey

Black Press

The differences between area-based tenures and volume-based tenures are easily distinguished.

Typically, volume-based tenures allow multiple tenure holders to harvest in the same timber supply area (TSA), while area-based tenures limit timber rights to one tenure

holder, operating in a distinguished area.

Both types of tenures require the same planning o b l i g a t i o n s , although area-based licensees often have additional r e q u i r e m e n t s of submitting management plans to the provincial government.

A r e a - b a s e d tenure holders may also have to conduct

inventories that assist government in determining the allowable annual cut.

Holders of v o l u m e - b a s e d tenures are permitted to harvest anywhere within the TSA, while area-based tenures are defined by specific boundaries and provide exclusive rights to harvest timber in a specific

area.Both tenure types

are subject to the same laws under the Forest Act and the Forest and Range Practices Act, and in both cases the Crown retains ownership of the land.

More information can be found at engage.gov.ba.ca/foresttenures/area-based-vs -vo lume-based.

Local donates mud racing trucksBy Jackie Lieuwen

Houston Today

A passion for mud racing � ows through Wilf Rondeau’s veins.

After tackling his � nal race at the recent Houston Mud Drags, he donated his two trucks to several young people for future races.

“There’s a younger generation of people that I admire, and I’d rather give the trucks to them then sell them to somebody,” Rondeau said.

So, to conclude 32 years of mud racing across B.C., Rondeau gave his two big trucks away to three Houston young people.

His “War Contracting” truck, a chevy on tractor tires with a 4-54 engine, he gave to Scott and Melissa Dawson. To Jason LeBlanc he gave his other truck, “The Big Bad Wolf,” which is also on tractor tires and has a 4-60 cobra jet engine.

“They’re great people, and I know they’ll take care of them and prize them, and enjoy them like I

have,” Rondeau said. Two of his friends

came to Houston to watch him tackle his � nal race. Tim Silvira built “War Contracting” and � xed and jacked up “The Big Bad Wolf,” and Mike Kwan, Rondeau’s fellow racer from the past 32 years, both cheered him on.

“The mud was tough, but you’ve got be tougher then the mud. It felt really good. I had an excellent weekend,” Rondeau said.

He wasn’t the only one who enjoyed the event.

Corrina Bodnar, member of the Nadina

Offroad Society (NOS) agrees.

“It went really, really well. Everybody had lots of fun,” she said.

With 50 vehicles competing and over 400 people crowding the stands during the weekend, the event was very successful, Bodnar said.

The sled class was new this year, with one competitor who sped through the track really fast.

“The crowd loved the snowmobile

ripping through there,” she said. “I hope that next year we’ll see more sleds show up.”

The Houston Mud Drags was the � rst race in the Point Series with the Northern Mud Racing Association (NMRA).

Asked how it was being part of that, Bodnar said it was new.

“It’s all really new to us and new to the area. We’re kind of learning and adopting a new class structure,” she said, adding that the Houston event itself is new and still � guring things out.

NOS is now planning a members-only race in September, and then plans will start for next year.

“We’d love to see more volunteers and grow our members to the Nadina Offroad Society so that we can continue to grow and make the event bigger and better every year,” Bodnar said.


The first Houston mountain bike trail is packed and ready for

riders. The trails being

built on Mount Harry Davis were designed in 2012 and the first of several trails was

constructed last year. Houston Hikers

are organizing and promoting the trails, largely funded by grants.

Director Jonathan Van Barneveld says they are putting up signs and should be done by the end of the month.

forTodayTelemachus

Theodoret, Bishop of Cyrrhius, recorded a very signi� cant event in history about a Christian monk named Telemachus, who lived in the early � fth century AD.

The story is told, Telemachus was strongly impressed by the Lord to go to Rome. He was not sure why, but because of the intense call of God he obeyed and went. When he arrived, he was caught up in a crowd of people who were going to the Coliseum. In the Coliseum, gladiators were battling it out to the death, which was a common sight in those times. Telemachus was appalled at the cruelty and bloodshed being displayed as the crowds cheered. Again, compelled by the Lord, Telemachus cried out repeatedly and insistently, “In the name of Jesus, stop! In the name of Jesus, stop!” The crowds were upset by this and in a frenzy stoned him to death. Honarius, the emperor at the time, a Christian, was deeply upset by the actions of the crowds and the brutal killing of Telemachus, thus he ordered that there would be no more gladiator sports in the Coliseum again. The murder of Telemachus marked the end of the barbaric practice of killing before the crowds in Rome.

This story has been told by various people in the past with some differing details, but nonetheless, there are some things we can learn from Telemachus.

We do not need to understand all the details of the battle, we just need to listen to, and obey the One in charge, our general, the Lord Jesus Christ.

Telemachus was obviously tuned in to God, thus, he was convinced God was calling him to Rome. He did not know the details of how this would all work out but he obeyed and went.

When Telemachus was confronted with something which was obviously against the teaching of the Bible and the heart of God, his heart was stirred and he did not hesitate to speak up. It cost him his earthly life, but the lives of many others were saved and this brutal display of heartless cruelty was stopped, because unbeknown to Telemachus, God was also speaking to the emperor.

What are God’s plans for us? Are we in touch with our Creator? Are we willing to obey him at all cost? Is there anything in our heart that would stop us from obeying him? The simplest act of obedience can have profound and eternal consequences.

“Trust in the LORD with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take.” Proverbs 3:5,6 NLT

Houston council voted last Tuesday not

to replace distressed trees downtown.

Director of Engineering John Guenther proposed replacing the dying

and diseased trees, with a fund not ex-ceeding $12,000.

Houston Mayor Bill Holmberg said the last tree planting

project was expensive and not very success-ful.

“I myself think it’s money we shouldn’t be spending right now,” he said.

Asked about maintenance costs, Guenther said they’re minimal after the ini-tial nurturing. “Under $1,000.”

Councillor Shane Brienen said he would like to see the project � nished.

“What we have now is we have trees and then we have dead trees and spaces. I’d like to see it done right.

“I’d like to see a plan in place for main-taining it,” he said.

“I don’t talk to any-

one downtown who hates the trees… what they do hate is seeing us spend money on trees and them being dead.”

Mayor Holmberg asked if the cost was quanti� able.

Guenther said the $1,200 cost covers re-placing 30 trees, the planting and nurtur-ing.

“There’s contribu-tions from businesses too,” he said.

Mayor Holmberg and Councillor Rick Lundrigan voted against tree plant-ing, and Councillor Michalle Jolly and Shane Brienen voted for.

The proposal was defeated.
