Miners hope to ease fears

MARGARET SPEIRS PHOTO

■ Super JOCELYN CHAMPION and Alycia Iuliano of the team Skeena Cancer Cause take a break from walking at the Relay for Life at the Skeena Junior Secondary track May 12. Sunny weather was the order of the day.

THE OWNERS of a copper and gold mineral deposit north of here hope to convince the Tahltan First Nation that groundwater won’t be affected by its development. Imperial Metals received a mines permit to allow construction of the Red Chris mine May 4 and the Tahltan Central Council issued a statement the same day in opposition. Company representatives are to meet in Smithers today with technical representation from the Tahltan to go over water monitoring plans stemming from the mine’s development. The water work shop is part of a larger plan to decide upon what degree of monitoring needs to take place and how often, said Byng Giraud from Imperial Metals. “They’re not entirely satisfied with the water situation,” said Giraud last week. “We respect that.” “We’ve committed to a water plan,” said Giraud, adding the Tahltan have requested a third party review of documents pertaining to the mine’s construction. Red Chris is located approximately 500 kilometres north of Terrace. The property itself is southeast of Iskut, a mostly Tahltan village on Hwy37 North. Imperial Metals says there’s enough ore at the site for a mine life of 28 years and has a construction budget of $450 million. The mine is expected to employ 30 people and to be open by mid-2014, in time to be the first major customer to take power

from BC Hydro’s Northwest Transmission Line which is now under construction. Environmental approval has already been granted by the provincial and federal governments and Imperial has been working on getting permits, financing and a construction schedule in place. As building the actual mine has yet to start, Giraud added that there’s still plenty of time to make sure those involved are satisfied with a water monitoring plan. The Tahltan are worried about the effects of a tailings pond that’s part of the Red Chris open pit mine plan. In the May 4 statement released the same date the mines permit was issued, Tahltan Central Council president Annita McPhee said the Tahltan have been pressing their point about groundwater pollution for years. “Not everything has been done to address our concerns about long-term pollution to our water, and the damage to a landscape that our people have relied on to feed and support themselves since time immemorial. We do not accept that it can proceed without having our concerns properly addressed,” she said. For its part, the province says that a monitoring committee will be set up to keep an eye on Red Chris operations. The province and Imperial will have representatives on the committee as will the Tahltan. Imperial owns 50 per cent of the Huckleberry mine near Houston and owns the Mount Polley copper mine in the Cariboo.

Man gets one day for manslaughter By MARGARET SPEIRS A MAN who pleaded guilty to manslaughter here was released from jail the day he was sentenced. Brandon Davey, 23, was sentenced May 9 to five years in prison for the 2009 killing of Richard Woodrow, 46, in Thornhill. Davey was arrested after the incident and had been in custody for two and a half years already awaiting trial for the incident. And since the crime occurred when a policy was in place that permitted a person to deduct two days off a prison sentence for every day spent in pre-trial custody, Davey

was eligible for immediate release. But at Davey’s sentencing hearing, Mr. Justice Selwyn Romilly of the BC Supreme Court said he couldn’t give a sentence that amounts to time already served. He then ordered Davey to spend one more day in jail before being released; however, his time in court would count as that one day. So after court paperwork was completed, he was released. Davey was arrested after a Nov. 17, 2009 Thornhill incident in which Woodrow was beaten with a hammer. He later died in a Vancouver hospital.

Davey had been undergoing a trial for second degree murder that was in its third week when he decided to plead guilty to a lesser charge of manslaughter. In pronouncing sentence, Mr. Justice Romilly reviewed the circumstances of Woodrow’s death. “I’m satisfied and I find as fact the accused was provoked because of a vicious assault on someone the accused considered [a friend],” said Mister Justice Romilly. “I’m satisfied and I find as fact that Mr. Woodrow first introduced the hammer into the equation by going after the accused...Mr. Woodrow was a very big man, twice the size

at least of the 21-year-old (Davey). “I’m satisfied that Mr. Woodrow was the obvious aggressor.” When asked if he had anything to say before sentencing, Davey read from what he’d prepared. “I apologize to everyone involved in this incident,” said Davey. “It should not have happened the way it did...I apologize to all the family members of Richard’s and my own. It should never have happened,” said Davey. “I’m here today ready to be sentenced and take full responsibility.”

From front

Given one day sentence While reviewing the facts before sentencing, Mr. Justice Romilly noted that on the day of the incident, Nov. 17, 2009, two women at a Thornhill residence were drinking heavily and when Woodrow came over, he was also intoxicated. Davey was sober, said Mr. Justice Romilly. Woodrow had pushed one of the women after she had knocked over, and broken, a shelf Woodrow had built. Then Davey intervened. Mister Justice Romilly noted that during the altercation that took place, at one point, Woodrow produced a hammer and that Davey took the hammer away from Woodrow. It was found that Davey hit Woodrow several times with the hammer and used more force than necessary because there were several fractures on Woodrow, including a punctured lung, which was a factor that led to Woodrow’s death. Woodrow’s blood wasn’t able to clot because of advanced cirrhosis of the liver, noted Mr. Justice

Romilly. Although this wasn’t discovered until later, it also contributed to his death, he continued. Woodrow was transported to Mills Memorial Hospital and later flown to Vancouver where he died of his injuries, said police. Davey was arrested soon after the incident. The two days credit for time served before sentencing policy has been eliminated since Davey was arrested. Individuals now receive one day credit for every day in jail before sentencing. In the past, people were usually held in remand centres before trials and didn’t have the same access to rehabilitation and other programs as they would if found guilty and subsequently sentenced to jail, where such services are available. However, in recent years, people are held in jail while they await trial so they do have access to the services. The two days credit was viewed as a way to acknowledge pre-trial remand centre conditions.

Crash kills a Terrace man A TERRACE man was one of two people killed in a May 7 fiery collision on Hwy1 between Spences Bridge and Ashcroft. Glen Joynt, 53, was in a northbound vehicle with two teenage sons, age 14 and 18, when it was struck by a southbound Super B commercial truck loaded with hay. The Super B, which refers to a tractor unit pulling two trailers in tandem, had lost control in a moderate curve, tipped onto its side and slid across the centre line, report RCMP. “The boys were able to extricate themselves prior to their vehicle being engulfed in the fire however were unable to remove their father, who lay unconscious and trapped in the vehicle,” RCMP said in a release.

Also killed when his vehicle was struck by the Super B was the sole occupant of another northbound vehicle, Clifton Noiles, 31, from Delta. “The cargo and trailers severely impacted two northbound passenger vehicles, pushing them into the roadside concrete no post barrier,” the RCMP release stated. The driver of the tractor unit is a 30-year-old man from Quesnel, who sustained only minor injuries to his knee. The accident took place 11:30 a.m. May 7, closing the highway until 7:30 p.m. while accident investigators went over the scene. Joynt’s two teenage sons sustained minor injuries. Weather and road conditions at the time of the crash were reported to be dry and warm.

Usk ferry back in the water following an extensive refit THE USK ferry has been returned to duty crossing the Skeena River following a refit over the winter. Area road maintenance contractor Nechako Northcoast Construction handled the refit which began in January. “The ferry was completely dismantled. The paint was stripped off and it was checked for stress cracks,” said acting district highways manager Randy Penner. The last refit was approximately 12 years ago. One major portion of the refit this time was spraying foam, which then hardened, into the pontoon spaces, said Penner. Inserting foam into pontoon spaces is now a Transport Canada regulation which increase the ferry’s stability. The $250,000 refit included a new deck, new electrical work and new paint. “With this refit it’ll be good for another 10-

Air Canada Jazz and Hawkair have added Vancouver flights this spring in anticipation of increased demand. The Northwest Regional Airport is one of three in the region, the others being in Prince Rupert and Smithers, and is responsible for just over half of all aircraft movements last year. With the growth in northwest economic activity from a number of large projects including Rio Tinto Alcan’s Kitimat aluminum smelter rebuild, preparation work for liquefied natural gas plants in Kitimat and construction on the Northwest Transmission Line, Hendry said he wouldn’t be surprised if other airlines, primarily Westjet, are thinking of the area.

THE NORTHWEST Regional Airport had its best April ever when 10,939 passengers went through its doors, a jump from the 9,258 for April 2011. That raises the total for the first four months of the year to 40,759 passengers compared to 34,346 for the same period in 2011. Airport manager Carman Hendry acknowledged the increase from last April to this April. “We’re up 18 per cent for that month but I should note that when you look at last year’s numbers, it was only in June when our traffic began to take off,� noted Hendry. He’s confident passenger numbers will grow as the pace and scope of industrial activity in the region continues to grow.

ANTI-ENBRIDGE PROTESTORS march through downtown Terrace after a rally in George Little Park May 7.

On the rocks Enbridge pipeline, tanker project receives a rough ride at hearings here last week By LAUREN BENN

W

hen Walter Fricke sits in his boat on the river, fishing rod in hand, it brings him more than peace. It contributes to his identity. Fricke knows what it’s like for that to be taken away. On August 1, 2000, one million litres of crude oil spilled into Pine Creek, a body of water cherished by Fricke while he was living in Dawson Creek B.C. for its bounty of Arctic Greyling, which he would catch and release. After the spill, Fricke, a fishing guide and avid sport fisherman, moved back to Terrace where he was raised.

After hearing of Enbridge’s Northern Gateway Pipeline proposal, feelings he’d experienced then began to return. “When I first heard of the rupture, all I could think was everything I released was probably dead or dying. It was traumatic to think of all the fish that succumbed to the toxic sweet crude oil,” he told three members of a federal panel reviewing the project May 8 at the Kitsumkalum Community Hall. “Upon hearing the proposed Enbridge plan, I almost got sick to my stomach.” Fricke was one of 58 people to speak to the panel which met May 7-9 at the hall. Panel members Sheila Leggett, Kenneth Bateman

and Hans Matthews were attending the second round of hearings into the $5.5 billion oil export proposal. In this round, the committee listened to 10-minute presentations. The project involves running two 1,170 kilometre pipelines to transport oil from Alberta to an export terminal in Kitimat for shipment overseas. One of the pipelines will pump a thinning agent called condensate. It will be taken off tankers docking at Kitimat and carried to Alberta where it will then be mixed with oil. Also speaking was a former Terrace economic development officer who said that now that he is employed elsewhere, he can finally

speak out about the project. “Enbridge officials came to our region as if the project was a sure thing,” Sam Harling said, adding that during the course of his job he met with many industry leaders he thought were sincere and that Enbridge officials stood out to him particularly as being the opposite. “I’m actually ashamed I did not stand up to [oppose] the project,” he said. Harling added that as economic development officer for the Terrace Economic Development Authority, his official opinions were decided by a vote by the authority’s board of directors and they thought displaying opposition would show the city was not open for business.

Harling congratulated the current city council for opposing the project. “I know this is not what city councils normally do,” he said, adding he thinks it’s important for governments to take a stand when a project is not in the best interest of the society they govern. John Jensen, a retired carpenter’s union official, spoke as well. Jensen questioned the integrity of the review, saying that although he’d shown up to exercise his democratic right to partake in the hearings he doesn’t have faith that the panel has an influence over the project. “It’s a stacked deck,” he said, pointing to the federal government’s intent to have the cabinet overrule any de-

cision made by an independent hearing panel such as the one for Northern Gateway. Lori Merrill also spoke, referring to the “web of life that the water provides for all.” She painted verbal images of old growth trees and other natural elements that rely on local river systems, not to mention people. Merrill said the profound beauty of our region has attracted those dedicated to being its environmental stewards, acknowledging that as her motive for speaking. Listening to oral presentations is part of the panel’s task in deciding on whether or not the pipeline project is in the public interest.

Pipeline backer wants project studied COLIN KINSLEY isn’t surprised that no one is in favour of Enbridge’s Northern Gateway pipeline project, or even in favour of it being fully studied, or spoke in favour of it at federal review hearings at the Kitsumkalum Community Hall last week. “The only people that come out are those in opposition,” said the chair of the Northern Gateway Alliance, a group that backs the project, about public hearings in general. Kinsley based his comments from his time as mayor of Prince

George and being involved in many public hearing formats. None of the nearly 60 speakers here last week spoke in favour of the $5.5 billion oil export project and only one person of 120 in Smithers spoke in favour two weeks ago. That person was Dennis MacKay, the one-time Liberal MLA for Bulkley Valley-Stikine who retired in 2009 after two terms in office. Still, Kinsley described oral presentations as valuable for comments made about specific aspects of the project.

“Some talk about seismic events, landslides and so on. That’s why [the pipeline] will have 6.5 kilometre tunnels,” he said of one section close to Kitimat. “The hearings are really valuable for that – that’s the part I enjoy.” Last week’s hearings at Kitsumkalum by the federal panel in charge of reviewing Enbridge’s proposal are part of a series being held in which individuals can make 10-minute presentations. The review panel began its formal examination of the project in January when mostly

Colin Kinsley First Nations groups gave oral evidence and opinions. Beginning this fall, the review panel sessions move to question

and answer sessions in which the technical and other aspects of the project will be examined. “We’re registered as an intervenor in September and that’s what we’ll be doing,” said Kinsley of the fall sessions. Kinsley’s convinced modern science and technology can greatly mitigate the risk that comes from a massive project such as Northern Gateway. “The science is there to do it right,” he said adding that it’s time to get past the emotions of those opposing Northern Gateway.

Kinsley said it’s important to remember that while the oil sands are in Alberta, the oil is Canada’s, not simply Alberta’s, making oil revenues a crucial part of the national economy. He did acknowledge the debate about exporting oil in the face of Canada’s long term energy security needs and that there are calls to refine oil in Canada and not export it as a raw commodity. The Northern Gateway Alliance is financed by Enbridge and was formed three years ago. Its first purpose was

to support the project entering the federal review now underway and now it wants to ensure the project is thoroughly examined. The alliance has no paid staff, save for Kinsley who receives expenses and a per diem when on alliance business. Kinsley says the alliance numbers approximately 1,500 people. In addition to sitting in on hearings here last week, Kinsley was in Kitimat for a session on tanker traffic safety. Similar sessions were held in Burns Lake and in Prince George.

Oil woes ENBRIDGE MUST be wondering why its Northern Gateway pipeline plan has become such a pitched battle for approval when another energy export project in the region has emerged unscathed. After all, the Pacific Trails pipeline and accompanying liquefied natural gas plant involves billions from large corporations, large tankers plying their way through north coast waters to and from Kitimat, a pipeline going through the same geography as would Northern Gateway and a valuable energy resource headed overseas to customers who may not have the most pristine of democratic practices. One reason is First Nations acceptance. The liquefaction plant, for example, will be built on Haisla land and the Haisla will reap revenues. It’s a given in B.C. that no major project will be developed without aboriginal acceptance and without an aboriginal economic benefit. Another is the product itself. Oil is a sticky pollutant, affixing itself equally to animals, birds and shoreline. Natural gas, by contrast, will quickly dissipate and is viewed as less of an environmental threat. Enbridge keeps saying it has more than 22 First Nations equity partners in Northern Gateway. It had better start trundling them out if it wants this project to survive. And it had better hope the technical aspects of its project are in top form as the federal review panel moves to the next phase of its work. ESTABLISHED APRIL 27, 1988

Government stifles opposition

S

ince first elected an MP 50 years ago former prime minister John Napier Turner has fumed over parliamentary abuses. Yet those abuses grow and we voters accept them. Turner was speaking May 3 at the 25th Annual Public Policy Forum Testimonial Dinner honouring the six living former prime ministers. Chretien was absent; the other five each gave a 15-minute talk. Turner listed a number of faults with how parliament works today. First, the government presents far too many omnibus bills. Bills that should deal only with one topic instead include everything but the kitchen sink. For instance, a budget bill introduced recently, which in the old days dealt only with finance, repeals the Kyoto Protocol Implementation Act and outlines major changes to the environmental assessment process, gives cabinet authority over resource projects, changes the Fisheries Act to apply only to major waterways, and lumps in immigration. Turner argues a budget bill should deal only with bud-

CLAUDETTE SANDECKI get, not bundle in every pet project dear to the heart of the prime minister. How can MPs intelligently discuss or vote for a bill that includes so many varying subjects? Suppose you support one, but not the others? Currently Ottawa is facing an omnibus finance bill which the NDP would like divided into at least five separate bills. Gone are the rousing debates when Diefenbaker would stand in the House of Commons, arguing extemporaneously, jowls jiggling. Debates had drama and import.

ing up to the personal platform that got him elected. Turner says far too much authority rests with the prime minister’s office. MPs are largely irrelevant. Campbell remembers dissenters could speak up only in caucus; outside of caucus they had to zip their lips and publicly support the government regardless Victoria’s Liberal government has adopted Ottawa’s ways with gusto. Besides curtailing debate, with only 11 days remaining before the B.C. legislature rises for the summer, Clark’s government has introduced 14 pieces of legislation, including the bill to return to the PST. This single bill took four months to draft and contains over 40 clauses, each deserving of individual and unlimited discussion by all 83 MLAs. One Victoria legislative reporter explained it is only through discussion by elected members before the bill is passed into law that we can know the intent of the law. Should the bill be at the heart of a future lawsuit, the court would be at a loss to know the legislators’ intention. If only Turner had the power to revise Ottawa’s behaviour.

more. Little wonder we are less engaged with the daily doings in parliament. There are no debates worth watching. Often the camera fixes on a lone MP backed by an empty chamber echoing like an unused warehouse. The modern parliament performs for TV cameras during question period, Turner says, each MP jostling for the best camera angle and sound bite. Both Turner and Kim Campbell decry the impotence of government backbenchers who are whipped into voting the government line even on matters where the government has no definite position staked out. Voting in favour of the government’s position is legitimate, Campbell says, but she sees no reason why MPs aren’t allowed to vote to suit their constituents on matters less crucial to the government. Turner says 50 years ago the elected MP had sole authority over his constituency and what his voters wanted. Now, MPs can’t vote independently on these smaller or more local issues. They are expected to toe the government line regardless of whether or not the MP is liv-

LETTER WRITER not impressed with the state of medical care.

Troubled by lost biopsy Dear Sir: This is a letter to the public so they will know what can happen if they don’t keep asking questions. A doctor in Terrace arranged for me to go to the Prince George Hospital for a prostate biopsy. I had the proce-

A

dure done and was told I would have the results in a maximum of 10 days. After 10 days, I started asking my doctor every week what was happening with my biopsy results and kept being told just wait a few more days. After five weeks

went by, I got angry and said I need an answer only to be told that the Prince George hospital had lost my biopsy. Somehow the 10 little pieces of me had been misplaced. Maybe someone else got my results and will have an operation that they

don’t need? I know this sounds ridiculous but I feel that losing my biopsy falls into that same category. We are always told that the best care for any type of cancer is early detection but this can’t happen if incompetent people are involved.

I know nothing will happen to the person or persons responsible for losing my biopsy but in the real world they would be looking for new employment. I am now waiting to be scheduled for another biopsy.

Dear Sir: Re: Terrace RCMP officer pleading guilty to charge of assault. I am appalled that the charge of assault was approved against the officer in the first place. It is quite apparent that the approver has never had his testicles subjected to severe trauma delivered by the toe of a boot. Had this happened, I am sure that there would never have been charge approval. I am further disgusted that Judge Krantz even accepted a guilty plea considering the circumstances. I am sure she was appraised of what had happened before this came to trial. I would compare the kicking of the testicles to grabbing a woman’s breasts, squeezing, and twisting. I think I would be quite safe in saying that no women would appreciate this, and even go so far as to say that they would claim sexual assault. But then, we, as men, must accept the fact that it is OK for a man to be abused without retribution. There is open season on men. Speaking quite frankly, had this happened to me, the woman in question would have been eating her meals through a straw for the next six months. I have been kicked in the nether regions, and it is not a comfortable situation, in fact, it is downright painful, and inhibits one’s sexual activity for a period of time. James B.

Free exchange of ideas vital to our society

lthough most citizens recognize the many values to be gained from receiving a good education, wide disagreement exists over what a “good education” actually is. Further to this is academic freedom – what should be taught, by whom, at whose expense, and to whose benefit. Who should decide these questions? In a culture that trumpets the benefits of freedom, one would think that academic freedom, a free market in ideas (tempered by social and professional criticism), would be of considerable value. Educational researchers broadly agree that an educated person is one who has “instrumental skills” (such skills as literacy and numeracy), representative knowledge of culture(s) including historical perspectives, expertise and achievement represented by specific credentials, empathy with one’s fellow man, and a concern for the world beyond our immediate day-to-day experience. Educated people can manage their money and do other math-

ematically related tasks, read something beyond the average newspaper, discuss at least some current and historical events (and vote based on their knowledge), exhibit tolerance of others’ differences, show they are qualified to perform some kind of useful work, and take a willing interest in the broader world. The question remains: how does one get there? Aside from providing taxpayer-funded daycare, public schools initiate the formal learning processes for most children, and colleges, technical schools (with apprenticeships of various sorts), and universities refine them. Given the training demanded of professional educators, society has pretty much handed over questions about course content and instructional methods to them. With some legitimate wariness, we trust their judgment. In recent years, however, this trust has been diminished, for a wide variety of reasons including controversy over values, economic uncertainty, social and technical change, and political expediency.

GUEST COMMENT

AL LEHMANN Many religious groups run their own schools with at least the partial purpose of imbuing specific religious beliefs into their children. Given separation of church and state (for good reason), such instruction has no place in public schools beyond objective presentation of basic facts. In post-secondary institutions also exist certain orthodoxies. While many scientists may believe in God, few deny or would

not teach the basic mechanisms of evolutionary science. The socalled Chicago School of Economics (and its offshoots, such as the University of Calgary) has been pushing “free market” orthodoxy for the better part of half a century; Marxist theory would not be particularly welcome there except as a subject of scorn. A recent controversy at Carleton University concerned a course offered supposedly debunking anthropogenic global warming. The fact that the instructor had clear ties to the energy industry and that no original research supporting human-caused climate change was actually presented for analysis in the course created some doubt as to the objectivity of the course’s content or instruction. Other academics who recognized this weakness criticized the course’s flaws, presumably exposing the fraud. Today our federal government is systematically limiting public access to federally funded scientists, forcing them to get political permission to present their findings on many issues to a public

hungry for such knowledge. Such policy is wildly hypocritical and extremely destructive. Harper’s Conservatives seem to have a particular paranoia about scientific findings to do with climate change, implications of which might demand we limit the orgy of development within the tar sands. Similarly, in British Columbia a Liberal government intent upon promoting a particular economic ideology (which involves diminishing the influence of trade and professional unions) is using legislative fiat both to bust the teachers’ union and to dramatically limit teachers’ control of course content and delivery. Under both governments academic freedom is clearly disvalued. Canadians are not well served by such changes. The free exchange of ideas is critical to the maintenance of a free society. Whatever its occasional flaws, academic freedom is one of our country’s freedoms that must be upheld. Al Lehmann teaches English in Terrace, BC.

Don’t make excuses for dogs Dear Sir: This is in response to Marianne Weston’s recent letter entitled, “Just don’t step in it.” First of all, not everyone wants your dog running up and sniffing them, some people are allergic to dogs, some people afraid of them. Everyone who has an unleashed dog running up to my kids yells the same thing, “It’s OK, he’s friendly.” I don’t care if you think he’s friendly or not, he is face level with my kids and I won’t be friendly. On April 5th, my three-year-old and six-year-old nephew were attacked by an unleashed dog that was, no doubt considered friendly by its owner too. Coincidentally, there is an article about this attack in the same issue of

the Terrace Standard. I’m not sure how much time Mrs. Weston has actually spent walking Ferry Island, but for her to say that those of us who don’t feel like scraping dog crap off the bottom of our shoes should stick to walking in the “Dogs-On-Leash” ares of the park is absolutely absurd. Anyone who has been there can tell you that there are plenty of dogs running freely in areas they are not supposed to. Instead of telling us to keep our eyes open and step around the poop that’s, “feeding mother earth,” how about quit making excuses and try being a responsible dog owner and actually picking up your dog’s fertilizer. I can guarantee that when my three and four-year-olds are running and playing down there, that watching for

LEASE FOR ONLY

Ask questions

piles of dog turd is the last thing on their minds. To try to minimize or justify it by saying, “at least it decomposes,” blows my mind. I don’t care if it decomposes or not. I don’t want it decomposing on the bottom of my shoe or on the floormat in my vehicle. Comparing it to other litter such as a McDonald’s wrapper makes me laugh. If there is a cheeseburger wrapper and a steaming mound in front of you, and you are forced to choose between which one you’re going to step in, cheeseburger’s going to win every time, well except maybe in Ms. Weston’s case.

Taking time off work and travelling to Prince George is costly and I know it was costly for our publicly funded medical system as the person that did my biopsy flew in from Vancouver to do it. No wonder our medical system is always short of money. My advice to the public is that if you are sent to the Prince George Hospital for tests and you don’t get your results in a timely manner, start making phone calls and knocking on doors as there is obviously some major problems with that hospital. More than ever, it has made me realize how lucky we are to have such a great staff at the Hazelton hospital. Brian (Tipper) Mould , Kitwanga, B.C.

NORM LARSON, left, and Brad Harrison discuss how a trailer can be made and then attached to the bike in the background.

Pedal power aids project IN A time when more people are biking to work, the Ksan House Society has put a new twist on the practice of two-wheeling — biking at work. Using a donated bicycle and cart, volunteers will be cycling to various places to pick up waste organic material. The material will then be taken back to the society’s community greenhouse next to its Hall St. shelter and

fed to worms. “Worms make a very pure kind of compost. It’s highly prized,” said Marianne Brorup Weston, who develops community-based projects for the society. “Our interest here is not only compost for our greenhouse but compost we can sell.” The bike came from Brad Harrison, a Bencharea resident who regularly refurbishes older bicycles, and the cart is being built by another

Harrison got into the habit of refurbishing bikes after coming up with an idea for his two children for Earth Day several years ago. “We ended up making bikes and both rode to school on Earth Day on those bikes,” he said. Harrison now scours garage sales and keeps an eye open when going

to the dump for bicycles and bicycle parts. “There was a young fellow in my daughter’s class who needed a bike and then a girl in my son’s class,” said Harrison of how his bike philanthropy took shape. Brorup Weston asked Larson to build the cart after he built a rickshaw for a Terrace Little Theatre production.

Tricycles propel college workers Ksan isn’t the only place to emphasize bicycles on the job – Northwest Community College does as well. Its Terrace campus has two adult-sized tricycles used by workers to get from one place to another. They also have “a beautiful red wagon that they use for transporting equipment around campus, all to avoid using motor vehicles,� says Debra Wall from the college. Bike to Work Week is May 28-June 3 and a local committee is encouraging as many people as possible to convert to two wheels for that week and beyond. “Biking to work is a great way to take in some of Terrace’s fresh air and to save money on fuel,� says Chris Gee from the non-profit Skeena Bicycle Service. “Terrace is a great city to bike in; starting and finishing a workday with cycling no only relieves stress but is a great way to stay in shape,� he said. The Skeena Bicycle Service will be at the farmers market May 26 to provide a basic bike assessment and tune up in advance of the official May 28 start of Bike to Work Week.

YouTube video leads to charge

■ Lunch! A BARBECUE and garage sale held by the Terrace and District Community Services Society’s Living Room program at the All Nations Centre on Sparks St. May 11 helped raise money for the outreach program operating there weekdays. The program offers a lunch and basic counselling and health services. Computers are being installed as well thanks to a federal grant. That’s Larry Daniels at the barbecue.

A NEW Aiyansh teenager made his first court appearance on May 2 after being charged with assault, report the RCMP in New Aiyansh. “On February 21st, the Nass Valley RCMP were alerted by concerned residents that a vicious fight was captured on YouTube and being viewed by other youth in the [Nisga’a] Nation,” a press release from the RCMP detachment in New Aiyansh states. “After viewing the video and further investigation, it was clear the fight was unprovoked and the victim was attacked. The suspect teen is seen repeatedly kicking and punching the victim who tries to defend himself,” the release continues.

“It is unknown who took the video or posted it on the internet. The video was removed from the YouTube sight after police preserved it as evidence.” Police say a youth was arrested the next day and released with conditions not to be found in New Aiyansh or consume alcohol. His next court appearance is July 4 in New Aiyansh. In another incident involving social media, Terrace RCMP say a stolen cell phone two weekends ago was being used to deliver threats through a false Facebook account. Facebook was advised to shut down the account due to it being used in a criminal manner, police said.

Gov’t seizes suspected drug money Police say the package was opened and contained what they termed to be $30,090 in suspected drug money. The company turned the money over to the Kamloops RCMP. “An individual known to police to have drug histories and gang affiliations came to the company in Kamloops to inquire about the package. They didn’t pursue it any further after learning the police had seized the money,�

the release continued. “Terrace RCMP spoke with the 31-yearold man who had sent the money from Terrace. He was uncooperative with police in providing a statement as to his ownership of the money,� said the release. The provincial government’s Civil Forfeiture Office was called in and the money was forfeited on April 24, 2012. In the second inci-

dent, RCMP officers stopped a blue 2009 Ford Focus on Dec. 21, 2011. The police release said they had earlier been stopped on the road with emergency lights activated on another matter when the Ford Focus drove by at an unreasonable rate of speed. Officers said someone in the vehicle yelled “get off the road you bums!!� A subsequent inves-

tigation led to the officers seizing $10,890. “The 30-year-old man is known to police to be involved in the drug trade,� said the police release of an individual in the vehicle. In this case, the provincial Civil Forfeiture Office acted and the money was forfeit on May 1, 2012. Since 2006, B.C.’s Civil Forfeiture Office has operated under the authority of the Civil Forfeiture Act. The act

allows the Director of Civil Forfeiture to initiate civil court proceedings against property believed to be the instruments or proceeds of unlawful activity. In 2011, amendments were made to the Civil Forfeiture Act. These amendments allow the Director of Civil Forfeiture to commence administrative proceedings against property valued at $75,000 or less that is not real estate. These proceedings

Crossing tickets issued TERRACE RCMP have clarified regulations pertaining to vehicles crossing railway tracks following a safety campaign officers undertook with CN police in the last several weeks. Officers did issue 31 tickets to people and this took place at the Substation Road/ Queensway Drive intersection in Thornhill. “This railway crossing has a stop sign, therefore vehicles have to stop and look both ways before proceeding safely,” said police in a release. “Vehicles must stop at railway crossings for four circumstances: a stop sign, lights and/or gates, a railway train is approaching and is within approximately 500 m of a crossing or by reason of its speed or nearness to the crossing is an immediate hazard and emits an audible signal or is visible, and last if there is a conductor in the crossing directing you to stop,” the release continued. Generally speaking, vehicles do not have to stop at uncontrolled crossings, but there are exceptions. Those exceptions are “a bus carrying passen-

not it is then empty,” the RCMP continued. And Constable Angela Rabut of the local RCMP detachment said any driver of any vehicle should caution. “If a railroad crossing is uncontrolled,

there is no requirement by law to stop for the regular driver. “Since this is a railroad crossing, it is a good idea to slow down, look both ways, and then proceed when safe to do so,” she said.

Canadians are living longer and costs for the Old Age Security (OAS) are rising. On April 1, 2023 the Government of Canada plans to start raising the age of eligibility for OAS and the Guaranteed Income Supplement (GIS) from 65 to 67.*

What does this mean for you? 54 or older as of March 31, 2012

You may still obtain OAS/GIS at age 65

53 or younger as of March 31, 2012

The age of eligibility for OAS/GIS will change gradually between 2023 and 2029

Starting in July 2013, Canadians who are eligible for, but not yet receiving OAS will have the flexibility to delay receiving it in exchange for a higher monthly amount at a later date.

Advocate receives inaugural award A LOCAL woman is the inaugural recipient of a national award recognizing work done to make people more aware of acquired brain injuries. The Trevor and Debbie Greene Award of Honour presented to Yvonne Nielsen acknowledges a person’s “extraordinary, heroic contribution to advance the cause of acquired brain injury in Canada.” Nielsen, who acquired a traumatic brain injury after being struck by a vehicle while riding a bike, is a strong local advocate who supports others who also have acquired brain injuries and who lobbies for measures to prevent injuries. The award is named after Trevor Greene, a reservist who was on duty with the Canadian Forces in Afghanistan in 2006 when he was struck from behind by a teenager wielding a rusty axe. The axe nearly split Greene’s brain in two and he has spent the years since in a lengthy recovery with the support of wife Debbie whose name is also on the award. Nielsen met the Greenes in person at the Pacific Coast Brain Injury Conference this past February in Van-

couver. Nielsen’s efforts on behalf of people with acquired brain injuries have included meeting and lobbying outside political figures when they visit Terrace. She also unsuccessfully tried to convince Terrace city council in 2010 to pass a bylaw making it mandatory for skateboarders to wear helmets when on city property. Last week, Nielsen presented a copy of March Forth, a book written by Trevor and Debbie Greene about their experiences following the 2006 attack, to the Terrace Public Library. Nielsen has presented other books on brain injuries to the library, including Winds of Change, a collection of stories by Canadian survivors of brain injuries. (She also sent a copy to Don Cherry who sent her a thank-you card.) Additionally, the Northern Brain Injury Association has made similar book donations. “We really do appreciate the donation of this book,” said Terrace Public Library head librarian Margo Schilling of March Forth. “It increases the collection of material we have on brain injuries.”

PARENTS TANYA Ballinger, front, and Suzanne Dorais serve up breakfast May 5 at Skeena Junior Secondary School to students who had just completed a World Vision 30-Hour Famine.

Students hold school’s largest 30-hour famine By MARGARET SPEIRS SKEENA JUNIOR students put on the largest World Vision 30hour famine that the school has ever had. Ninety-two students took part and raised more than $5,000, while staying up all night, playing lots of games and breaking their fast with a huge feast prepared by several students and parents. And to mark their accomplishment, a banner hangs from the ceiling at the school entrance with the students’ handprints on them. The dunk tank was great fun, although principal Phillip Barron and vice-principal Cory Killoran didn’t get dunked as planned. “The dunk tank was a huge success. We must’ve had a good 10 kids dunked,” said parent advisory council president Warren Copeland, who helped the students with planning and spent the night there as one of several parent volunteers. “The kids certainly asked but most of us adults were probably wise enough not to bring swimsuits,” said Copeland, referring to students asking the parents

there if they would get dunked. Many students crashed at 3 or 4 a.m., he added. Most of the student group leaders were up at 5 a.m. to help the handful of parents prepare breakfast but they weren’t allowed to touch the food until 7 a.m. Student Jamie Sparks said it was difficult not to taste the food as they were making it. After breakfast some students tried to go back to sleep but couldn’t because the whole place smelled like bacon, said Morgan Lechner. “Obviously, we couldn’t have pulled it off without Phillip and Cory and the core group of parents,” said Copeland. Teachers Graham Wojdak and Stephanie Parker started and carried the event’s planning a majority of the way through, but couldn’t take part as the teachers’ job action prevented them from participating after a certain date, said Copeland. “They did so much work. They really did. It was difficult for those two to not be able to participate,” he said of Parker and Wojdak.

DALEN EWALD, Alicia Brousseau, Talena Coburn and Bethany Brousseau work on getting a backyard ready for a foundation for a shed as part of their carpentry elective at Mountain View Christian Academy May 10.

Carpentry students building shed A CLASS of Grade 9 to 12 students at Mountain View Christian Academy is getting some practical experience in carpentry by planning and helping to build a shed this semester. The elective class is made up of seven boys and four girls, who spent their time last week digging and raking a spot in a

residential backyard in preparation for the shed foundation under the supervision of Roger Ewald. They will add gravel first for good drainage and then put in the solid foundation, which would be a floating one, said Ewald. In previous weeks, during the fourhours the class gets each week, students

did some drafting to learn the basics before going out for hands-on work, he said. Last Wednesday, students used shovels, rakes to dig a suitable spot for the foundation while others put the dug-up soil in a pile out of the way, while Ewald and a couple of students prepared the land behind the resident’s fence for drainage.

Etta May Mosdell September 1911 - August 1981

I love my mother and miss her so. She showed me love and caring, unselďŹ shness, patience and forgiveness. She was humble enough to say “I’m sorryâ€?, taught me about life and to be a good wife, gave me advise on the care of my children. She showed me when to have compassion and to have a sense of humour. She encouraged me when I was sad and was proud when I showed strength. She trusted God for guidance and read her Bible for comfort. She was the Mother everyone should have grown up with.

There was lots of emotion on both sides,” said co-coach Jarryd Kurisu after the game, adding it was a team win. “I’m very pleased.” Smithers was “definitely a tougher opponent” as they were the team who went to provincials for the last two years, said Kurisu. And Cal only had one sub to cover off for the players, instead of the four they usually have as some boys had to work that day. Game play paused several times in the

last 20 minutes as players were hurt, but all got back up and re-joined the game. Until the provincials in Abbotsford at the end of the month, Cal will focus on what it needs to work on, said Kurisu. On Friday, in their first zone game, Cal destroyed Prince Rupert 43-0 in what was also the bears’ first game of the season. It was all Caledonia crossing the line to score in a team that’s come together well, said co-coach Kendra Felkar during the Prince Rupert matchup. “They’ve gelled, they’re a pretty tight team,” she said. “We had a bunch of new guys who played sevens in the fall and some returned [from last year],” said Felkar on the sidelines of the boys’ first game. Player Nigel Borgford, who played last year, says since they learned the game last year and many players returned, it was easier to come together as a team. The squad had started practising in February in the gym, said Kurisu. Cal looks to have all its players, including all its substitutes at provincials to play so team members have time to spell each other off.

Track athletes soar to new heights

■ Drag racing TERRACE’S ANDREW Calkins warms up his Camaro before drag race competitions at the Northwest Regional Airport in Terrace last Saturday. The annual Season Opener event held by Terrace’s Drag Racing Association took place May 12 and 13, seeing the Northwest drag racing season kickoff.

ALTHOUGH EXTRACURRICULAR school activities can’t be run by teachers due to the job action currently on, for track and field athletes there is a club focusing on getting teens ready to qualify for the summer games. The Terrace Track Club practises after school and recently had eight of its athletes participate in the Sub Zero Track Meet in Prince George. The team placed second to the host club with 10 firsts, four seconds and six third place finishes, says coach Dighton Haynes, who is one of five team coaches. Summer Schulte led the way, winning discus and javelin for 14 and 15-year-old girls with throws of 19.23 and 24.88, respectively, said Haynes. Cameron Netzel easily won the 16 and 17-year-old boys high jump with a new personal best of 1.73m, topping his ninth place finish of 1.65 m for Grades 8 and 9 at high school provincials last year. “[It was] a great start to the season for Cameron and the team,” said Haynes, adding that almost all of the team reached personal bests. Hayden Cote competed in six events: 100m, 400m, high jump, triple jump, long jump and javelin, placing first a number of times. Haynes is hoping out of the 30 athletes on the team that 10 or 12 will try out for the summer games. “The track club is alive and kicking and there’s very good athletes competing,” said Haynes. “If we can build on the summer games this year, it would really help the team overall in the future. “Once they get hooked on it, they just want to stay with it,” he added about the students and track. The club heads to Kamloops in a week for a meet, then to Smithers for summer games tryouts at the end of May, and returns to Prince George in June for another meet.

Motocross season jump starts DIRT BIKE riders from across B.C. travelled to Terrace this April to race in the Terrace Motocross Association’s annual season opener. For the two-day event, which was held April 28 and 29 at Terrace’s motocross track located near the Northwest Regional Airport, 65 riders signed up to compete. This number was slightly down from last year’s 90 riders, but races made for an action-packed weekend nevertheless, said Sue Kawinsky. “The weather wasn’t as good so we didn’t get as good a turnout,” said Kawinsky, adding that she thinks single lane traffic along Hwy 16 beforehand kept attendance numbers down. Even still, 42 races saw riders climb on their dirt bikes and compete — with 22 events seeing Terrace riders take first place, scoring the most points in each event to add to their repertoire for the season. Races are classified by bike size and age, some involving both and others just one, said Kawinsky. On Saturday April 28, Carter Steele from Terrace was the lone racer in the 50cc age 4 - 6 race, which won him 50 points. Dario Roldo of Terrace won 47 points by coming first in the 50cc 7 - 8. Joey Parkes won 50, coming first in the 85cc 12 - 16. Richard Murray was the sole rider from Terrace to race in the beginner MX-1. Steve Andersen took first and 50 points in the Junior B race.

steelhead fisher guides his Intruder through a promising riffle on the Zymoetz River. The swing stops. There is a bump and a pull. A fish leaps into the air then races down and across at a frantic pace. The fisher leans back. The fish slows then races off again. Over the course of the next 15 minutes, the big silver fish tires. With the waning resistance, the angler manages to bring his quarry into the shallows. When the creature sees the man, it makes a short surge into deeper water. This happens three more times until, finally the man can slide the fish into the shallows and grab it by its wrist. The steelhead thrashes in the skinny water. The man hoists it up while his partner snaps a picture. Let’s get another, the photographer commands. The fisher holds the exhausted fish up again. He has one hand under and just behind the large fish’s gill plates and the other between its dorsal and ventral fins. The fish’s belly sags between them. His buddy presses the shutter again. Again the fisher places the fish in two inches of water where its gills cannot operate. One more for good measure, calls the photographer. The fish is subject to another 10 seconds of stress. When that’s over, the steelheader pries his gaudy three-inch-long lure from

Shawn Andersen from Terrace won 50 points in first in the 50cc 7 - 8 race, Jeo Parkes came first with 50 in the 85cc 12 - 16 race, Austin Fagan came first with 50 points in the Junior B. Ty Calcutt came first winning 50 in the junior MX-1, and again in the junior MX-3. Andrew Kennedy won 50 and first in the intermediate MX-3, again in the intermediate MX-1, and in the youth

race. Terrace’s Craig Kendell won 50 in the plus 25 race, coming in first place, which he also placed in the vet junior race earning him 47 points. Earl Houlden won 50 points in the plus 40 race where he came in first. Riders from all across B.C. competed in the race, with a concentration of them coming from throughout the northwest to compete.

There will be one more event held in July in Terrace, which will also see riders gather to race before winners are presented with trophies. At the end of the season, high points are awarded at regional banquets, one of which is held for northern B.C. and another in the south. Also, the rider with the highest points in all of B.C., from both series, is awarded at the southern banquet.

Athlete of the month returns THE TERRACE Standard is asking for submissions for the next edition of the Athlete of the Month. We’re looking for someone who shows true dedication to the sport, puts in that extra effort during and after practices, trains hard and most importantly, shows true passion and love for what he/she does. This person doesn’t necessarily have to be the best player on the team or an all-star, simply a true athlete with a strong commitment to what he/she does. If you know someone who fits that bill, please send in your reason why you think he/she should be recognized as the Athlete of the Month in 50 words or less. Please include your name and number and at least one other contact, either a coach or a fellow athlete. We will not accept self-nominations. The deadline for submissions is May 21 by 4 p.m. The selected athlete will be featured in our last issue of the month. Please send to:

The next group of fish were subjected to the same routine except that they were placed on a damp cloth for brief period of time whereupon another sample of blood was taken before they were put in the recuperative tank. Finally, Tufts and Ferguson took blood from a third group of rainbows that were neither chased nor exposed to air. Lamellae are the delicate plates in fish gills where oxygen intake to the blood takes place. These delicate membranes are supported by water flowing between them. Without water they collapse. This wrecks havoc with the pH balance in the fish and greatly decreases the creature’s chance of survival. Tufts and Ferguson recorded that the survival of the fish in the control group and those exercised to exhaustion were 100 per cent and 88 per cent, respectively. While the survival rate of the fish exposed to air after exercising fell to 62 per cent for those exposed for 30 seconds and to only 28 per cent for those in air for 60 seconds. Subsequent trials confirmed Tufts and Ferguson’s trials. These were the findings that led to the fish handling regs in Alaska and Washington. They clearly indicate that if you release fish, you shouldn’t play them to exhaustion; you should employ a catch and release tool of the kind sold in tackle shops; and, you should never take a fish out of the water unless you intend to kill it.

Most worrisome is that it seems drivers just aren’t paying attention to their surroundings, added Crack. “Despite the lights, despite the sirens and when we’re outside, high visibility clothing, people don’t pay attention,� he said. Crack and an auxiliary officer were injured late last year while sitting in a marked police car off the travel portion of the highway at Ferry Island. A van clocked on radar as travelling more than 120 km/h smashed into the back of their vehicle. Crack and the auxiliary constable, Shelley Ullery, were off work for a considerable period of time because of the injuries. The driver of the van was charged with impaired driving and dangerous driving.

RCMP OFFICERS here are reminding motorists to move over and stop when emergency service vehicles with lights on and sirens sounding are approaching from behind. There’s been several cases recently when officers on their way to an urgent situation were held up because of traffic ahead of them. “People really need to know this,� says Terrace RCMP Constable Angela Rabut. “People haven’t been moving over and stopping and that’s a big concern.� Rabut said the reminder applies to fire trucks and ambulances on their way to urgent calls. At the same time, Rabut is also reminding drivers of a relatively new provincial motor vehicle regulation requiring drivers to slow down to 70 km/h and to move over when passing a stopped emergency vehicle. That’s to better ensure the safety of police officers, emergency personnel or anyone else at the scene of an incident. “We had an incident where the officer was nearly hit,� said Rabut of a recent occurrence. Another RCMP officer, Constable Philip Crack, who is part of the area’s traffic services section, says failure to pull over or to slow down results in a $173 fine. “There are signs outside of all the towns here, so motorists should be aware,� said Crack. The local sign is situated on Hwy37 South
