Feds leave First Nations in limbo THE FEDERAL government is acting in bad faith by leaving two local First Nations in land claims limbo, says the head of the BC Treaty Commission.

Both the Kitsumkalum and Kitselas have been waiting for months for the federal government to formally introduce land and cash components of what will form crucial pieces

of a tentative agreement in principle for each, says chief commissioner Sophie Pierre.

But with summer now here and Parliament finished until the fall, there’s no way of knowing when those components might be presented, she says.

“What we have kept on saying is that negotiations need to be done in good faith,”

said Pierre. “We had all expected this spring to have items in place [leading toward consideration of agreements in principle].”

“And now it’s incredibly frustrating that the federal government continues to have this appearance that it is committed to good faith negotiations. We keep saying we do not see evidence of good faith negotiations,”

said Pierre.

The Kitsumkalum and the Kitselas have been negotiating with the federal and provincial governments since 1997 to agree upon treaties establishing a land base for each, cash, self-government powers and jurisdiction over natural resources.

Local real estate becomes sellers’ market

By LAUREN BENN THE LOCAL real estate market has shifted in favour of sellers, says one real estate agent in commenting on the latest statistics released by the BC Northern Real Estate Board.

John Evans from Remax calls the change to what he calls a “soft sellers’ market” a product of stable sales growth.

Sellers are now getting closer to asking prices if not above, said Evans.

“We’ve had a few bidding wars,” said Evans. “I think that we’ve made that transition from a buyers’ to a sellers’ [market].”

Property sales statistics for the first six months through the Multiple Listings Service indicate 150 properties sold in the first six months of this year compared to 135 for the same

period last year. The dollar value also rose, from $25 million last year to $29.3 million this year.

“I’m getting more grey hair and it’s busier and things are good,” said Evans. “There’s just a real different tone out there with buyers.” And that tone is seen in the number of people looking for homes on the market — which, while getting hotter, is stable enough in its rise to create optimistic attitudes on both sides of transactions, said Evans.

“The nice thing about our market is it is nice, stable growth,” said Evans. “Sometimes when the market is surging too quickly, buyers tend to hold back when they should be jumping in.”

The abundance of buyers and positive attitudes despite rising prices can be attributed to low interest rates and a stillvaried selection of homes on the market, said Evans.

At June’s end, 287 properties of all types were listed and fixed term mortgage rates at various banks touched as low at 3.2 per cent. Looking back at the last six months, 93 single family detached homes sold, of which half went for under the $199,000 mark.

The average selling price for a single family detached house for the first six months of this year was $211,733 compared to $208,044 when 79 single family homes sold in the first six months of 2011, $202,342 when 57 single family homes sold in the first six months of 2010 and $207,525 when 77 single family homes sold in the first six months of 2009.

The average selling time for a home so far this year has been 71 days, said the real estate board report.

Also, 11 parcels of vacant land, five half duplexes and 14 homes on acreages sold.

Road work starts CREWS ARE hard at work building an intersection off Hwy37 South to the city’s planned industrial park just south of the airport.

The project needs to be finished this year in order for the city to take full advantage of a nearly $1.4 million in grants from the federal and provincial governments.

The city has to spend $668,000 of its own money to get the federal and provincial grants.

“We have to do it now,” said the city’s director of public works Marvin Kwiatkowski.

“Otherwise, we lose our monies.”

The local firm of White Bear Industries has been hired to do the work.

The intersection and access road building work is slated to be finished by fall and will include lanes on both sides of the highway at the location.

“There’s going to be concrete islands in the intersection,” said Kwiatkowski. “There’s going to be a lot of paving done.”

Work to be done there includes not only widening the highway at the entrance point but digging out some space underneath the highway to insert some piping for a future water main.

“Get the facts about HIV.

Get tested!”

– DR. SUSAN MACDONALD Medical Lead, Northern Health STOP HIV/AIDS Project

HIV is a real concern within our communities. You can contract HIV primarily through unprotected sex and by sharing needles. HIV can live in your body for years without you knowing and all the while you can be passing it to others. At least 25 per cent of people who are HIV+ do not know and these 25 per cent are estimated to be responsible for 75 per cent of new infections. Northern Health, in collaboration with its community partners, is working with the Province of BC to prevent the spread of HIV by expanding HIV testing, treatment, and support services to British Columbians.

WORK IS well underway to build an intersection on Hwy37 just south of the airport to the city’s planned industrial park.

Traffic lights will be installed at the intersection as well, said Kwiatkowski. And along the access road, paths for biking and walking will be built, he added.

White Bear Industries’ contract for the project is $1.6 million, and the additional $300,000 is for utility costs, said Kwiatkowski.

The city was told back in 2009 that the federal and provincial governments would each provide $668,000 if the city could come up with the same amount.

But the city has had trouble raising its share.

The Skeena Industrial Development Park has been a pet project of the city for more than a decade.

The city has an option to purchase 2,000 acres of Crown land from the province should it first find companies who want to set up shop at the planned industrial park.

City boundaries have been expanded to include the park area meaning that it will be taxing any industries who do open up there.

Mayor Dave Pernarowski said the city has now signed a memorandum of understanding with a company for a portion of the lands.

Province tries again to ďŹ nd a jobs czar A PROVINCIAL government plan to provide skilled workers for the region’s large industrial projects has hit an employment snag of its own – it can’t find someone to do the job.

A call for applicants closed off last month without anyone applying and now the province’s sponsoring agency, BC Hydro, is trying once again.

What’s wanted is a senior official working out of Terrace who will promote and encourage the development of training programs geared toward the skills needed by companies as their projects move along.

A budget of just over $500,000 has been set aside for the program which is to run from this August to November 2013.

The initial plan was to have the official in place and working by last month.

There’s no specific payment listed but indications are that the official is to be considered a fairly senior civil servant carrying an annual pay packet in the $100,000 range.

For that wage, the person is expected to find money to run the jobs program in the long-term, bring together local governments, various provincial agencies, First Nations and the Nisga’a Nation and have them participate in jobs training, promote the jobs program generally and prepare a program to encourage skilled workers who have moved away to return home.

The person will also be expected to host a regional development summit and work out of office space provided at Northwest Community College.

Those interested have to bid on the position and there’s a closing date of next week.

The idea for the position came out of a BC Hydro committee struck in response to the construction of its Northwest Transmission Line, which will provide power up Hwy37 North.

The transmission line will lead to new develop-

ments such as run-of-river projects and mines.

But studies commissioned by the BC Hydro committee estimate that anywhere from $8 billion to $25 billion will be spent on large projects in the next 10 years requiring anywhere from 9,500 to 32,500 workers.

At these levels, committee-comissioned students found “there is a shortage of trained and qualified persons from the northwest to meet demand,� indicates a committee summary of its work. “The current labour supply cannot meet the expected demand for skilled labour and without quick action, companies will be forced to import workers from other regions,� the summary continued.

But as a renewed attempt is made to find a jobs program official, new statistics place the northwest as having the highest unemployment rate in the province.

June’s level of a 12.2 per cent jobless for the area from Haida Gwaii to just this side of Vanderhoof is verging on double the provincial rate of 6.7 per cent and more than May’s figure of 11.6 per cent. Last June, the jobless rate for the northwest was 7 per cent.

As well, the northwest’s jobless rate is the only one in the province in the double digit range. The next highest rate is 7.8 per cent and that’s in the Cariboo.

If the jobless percentage rate is climbing, the number of people who are working has dropped.

Last June, the number of people employed stood at 44,100 but this June, the number is 38,900.

There were 3,300 unemployed people in June 2011 and 5,400 unemployed this June.

These figure are not based on Employment Insurance data but on interviews in the region of people age 15 and older who declare that they are part of the labour force whether actually working or not.

Man sentenced to six months in jail ROBERT SCOTT Eli, 42, of Prince Rupert, is off to jail for six months after pleading guilty to assault and weapons charges for incidents in 2009 and on July 4 of this year.

Eli threatened a man in a New Aiyansh residence July 4 by holding a knife to his throat and then assaulted a female by throwing a cooler at her, indicates information provided by New Aiyansh

RCMP. He was also charged following a 2009 incident, also in New Aiyansh, in which a man was seriously injured. “Both of these investigations relied [on] the cooperation and courage of village residents to assist the police in securing evidence,� said Sgt. Donovan Tait, the officer in charge of the Lisims/Nass Valley RCMP detachment.

GPS system could expand airport’s reliability standing

By LAUREN BENN THE LOCAL airport’s existing 97 per cent landing and takeoff reliability factor could be improved even more if a GPS landing system was installed, says the general manager of the facility.

A GPS system, which would use satellite coordinates instead of on-the-ground equipment if that equipment should not be working, could improve the reliability factor into the 99 per cent range, said Carman Hendry of the Northwest Regional Airport.

The challenge is that during bad weather when the instrument landing system is needed the most, it might stop working, he said.

From April 2011 to March 2012, out of approximately 4,700 passenger aircraft landings and takeoffs, 14 flights were affected during extreme weather when the instrument landing system wasn’t working.

“It will improve the reliability of the airport,” said Hendry of a GPS system. “It provides a backup plan.”

This is even more important now that passenger traffic here is setting records and expecting to grow due to an improving regional economy, he added.

Hendry explained

AIRPORT MANAGER Carman Hendry with some of the existing navigational equipment at the Northwest Regional Airport. that with the current ground-based landing system, which is made up of three tools to help planes land as well as two beacons that direct planes to and from the airport, planes will not leave other airports to arrive here if any element of the system is not working.

Planes can’t take off from the airport either if any part of the system isn’t functioning.

The three parts of the current system, called an instrument landing system (ILS), include a device that lines planes up with the centre of the runway, one which specifies the slope on which a plane has to descend, and another that tells an aircraft how far it is from the ground.

Then, two homing beacons direct planes to and from the airport

on a safe path to fly.

“The planes will fly towards them to ensure they’re flying in the right direction,” said Hendry.

Aircraft rely on this system in conditions with reduced visibility, to avoid obstacles like mountains and to land in the right spot on the runway.

With a GPS landing system, these types of tools will be pro-

grammed into a satellite system which can be read inside many aircraft, said Hendry.

It will also enable planes to land on the south end of the runway at the airport in lower visibility conditions, which currently can only be done on clear days.

NavCanada, the agency that provides airport navigation services, said a GPS sys-

tem for the Northwest Regional Airport is available, and now a land survey is needed.

“All we need to do is supply a survey and they will begin developing it,” said Hendry.

A land survey will plot different obstacles and paths into points to be used in the GPS system.

The cost of the entire project is yet to be determined.

Westjet puts Terrace on its list of possible regional destinations WESTJET IS considering Terrace as one of the destinations its new regional airline could service when it takes to the air next year.

And it won’t know if its made the airline’s schedule until next January, says Northwest Regional Airport manager Carman Hendry, who was interviewed by Westjet officials in Calgary at their invitation two weeks ago.

Officials from 30 airports across the country each spent 30 minutes answering questions from three Westjet officials, said Hendry.

“They wanted to know everything,” said Hendry. “Our passenger statistics, our runway length, all about our infrastructure, light, hold room capacity, [aircraft parking] aprons, what the market was, who was serving the market, what the baggage handling capabilities were, everything,” he said.

The list of questions included what the current airlines charge and what the market would be for an east-west service, Hendry continued in adding the officials already knew about Terrace

and area.

“They asked if we thought Terrace is situated to be a regional airport and, of course, I said yes,” he said.

Hendry said information put together by the Kitimat-Terrace Industrial Development Society helped outline the state of the regional economy.

Speculation on routes and scheduling for Westjet’s regional airline has been growing across the country ever since plans were first announced in January.

From information gathered at the Calgary session, Hendry said the new airline would start with routes at one end of the country and work its way toward the other end.

“From what we were told they would be publishing a schedule sometime in January and start in the latter part of 2013,” he said.

Westjet has already chosen the plane it will use – the Dash 8-Q400, the latest in Bombardier’s Dash series known for its efficiency and quiet running.

Hendry, who was able to walk through a Q400 during his visit to Calgary, was impressed with its legroom.

“This new aircraft has 78 seats and is 28 per cent more efficient per seat,” he said of fuel economy.

“On trips of 600 [nautical] miles or less, it can compete time-wise with a regional jet,” Hendry continued. “It could get here from Vancouver in just over an hour.”

By comparison both Hawkair and Air Canada Jazz service the Vancouver to Terrace run with 37-passenger Dash 8-100s and 50-passenger Dash 8-300s.

One clue as to what Westjet may already be thinking came out during a presentation by a company official at the BC Chamber of Commerce Transportation Summit held in June, said Hendry.

“He said there were two markets they were very interested in – Fort St. John and Terrace,” Hendry noted.

From front

Treaty deal is in limbo Negotiators for all parties reached what would be tentative agreements in principle this spring but progress has been stalled since then because the federal government has yet to approve the land and cash components agreed to at the bargaining table.

The BC Treaty Commission is an independent body which oversees the steps taken toward final treaty settlement.

While federal and provincial cabinets must sign off on agreements in principle, the terms are subject to a vote by the entire membership of the affected First Nation.

Agreements in principle, once agreed to by all concerned, form the basis for final treaty negotiations and it is rare that final treaties differ from an agreement in principle.

Pierre said the treaty commission knows of no outstanding reason why the federal government cannot follow through on a tentative agreement in principle.

“These are treaties we consider very doable and there are no outstanding challenges. If they can’t do it for these treaties, what can we expect where there are real challenges,” Pierre added.

And since there are no time limits that parties need to respect, there is no accountability, she said.

“What that means is that the other parties are left holding the bag,” Pierre continued.

“Where does that leave the First Nation when one of the parties isn’t coming through?”

Making matters worse for First Nations is that they borrow from governments against eventual treaty cash settlements to provide the money to negotiate, she said.

“So for the past year these First Nations have been borrowing money to keep negotiating when there is a land and cash offer they’ve been waiting to hear about,” said Pierre.

She said the First Nations should not repay what they have borrowed over the past year because of the federal government delay in approving a tentative agreement in principle.

Sharing WITH development taking place within the immediate vicinity of Terrace and Thornhill and throughout the region itself, the city is showing every sign of solidifying its reputation as the northwest’s shopping and service centre.

That’s good news for a city where the population dropped from 12,279 in 1996 when it was a sawmill town to a low of 11,320 in 2006 after the woods industry collapsed to an extremely modest increase to 11,486 in 2011. The population stands at 15,471 once Thornhill and other rural areas are added in.

But as things get busier and as the population increases, the demand upon city services will increase.

Without the kind of direct taxation base that industries would normally provide, there’ll be a growing imbalance between what’s needed and what the city budget can handle.

It’s why city council has been gradually laying the groundwork for some kind of revenue or taxation sharing program with the provincial government that’s tied to industrial development in the rural areas.

There’s a precedent in the northeast where the province returns a portion of oil and gas revenues to local governments.

These kinds of agreements are easier said than done and credit needs to go to the city for putting this on its priority ‘to do’ list. It’s far better to have a sharing agreement in place now than having to play catch up later on.

She handed over my woozy pup’s leash along with a printed sheet of post-spaying instructions.

I blinked at her words.

“Then I can’t take her home!

My dogs don’t live in the house. They have kennels.” I heard myself whine, “I don’t even know if she is house trained.”

The receptionist gave me the “So what? You asked for it!” look my friends had been offering me since I adopted this furry dynamo three weeks earlier.

The pup had been found shivering at a gas station in January and taken in by a kindly family who alerted me to her availability when I was searching for a replacement dog.

Now it was April 12, had rained heavily all day and half my yard was still two feet deep in snow. How could I ever keep her incision dry? Every day my two young dogs spent hours mock-fighting in the snow, cooling their

Over the years, all my dogs have been males except one. The vet issued no special post-spaying instructions in her case that I recall yet she healed just fine and speedily returned to daily life with no difficulties. But that was a long time ago, and a different vet. Maybe dampness didn’t melt his sutures.

Comedians make jokes about neutering males as a swift and simple snip, snip.

Things are different after spaying at least by this vet.

My immediate task was hoisting my limp 50 pound furball into the truck box. She relish-

It would have taken a quarter horse to hold her back and a 2x4 to deter him.

During the day, so they could both be outside and at least see each other, I tried tethering her to the wheelbarrow and him to the garden fence while I raked.

Next I tied them to opposite ends of a 1x3 long enough so they could be close to each other and to me but not wrestle. Being bigger, she dragged the 1x3 everywhere; he had no choice but to follow. She snagged him around the gooseberry bush and wedged him under the steps.

Sometimes I let the dogs take turns going out alone for an hour, while the other one remained in the house. When she lay down in the grass to chew a bone or toy, she rested on one side or the other, never on the centre line incision, I noticed.

Day 10 I scrapped the rules, evicted her, and walked her off leash. Although I still feared she might snag her incision on a broken branch, she needed to ramble.

Anyone who fosters a rescue dog through spaying deserves more credit than I’ve given them.

She folded her legs and sank down.

I glanced at the instructions before driving home: Restrict running, jumping and playing for 14 days.

Leash walk only for 14 days.

By then both of my shoulders would be dislocated, her 4” incision gaping like a toothless zipper.

I walked her every 90 minutes, getting no more sleep than a new mother. After 72 hours, I trusted she could sleep through the night or signal if she needed to go out.

She never did make a mess, but destroyed a pair of sneakers, splintered a plastic dustpan, and reshaped the corner of a floor mat.

Trying to restrict running, jumping, and playing proved the most unlikely, though I tried my best. Unleashed in the bush, my dogs explore without making contact. But the more the two dogs missed playing together the rowdier they became. Open the front door and she would launch off the porch to pounce on him, with me flailing behind.

The Mail Bag Biased for Enbridge

STAFF PHOTO

THE CO-OP property remains unused after the demolition of the building.

What’s the Co-op land agenda?

Dear Sir: Douglas Cardinal, a world famous architect, was in Terrace recently.

He presented a slide show of his work, including the Museum of Man in Hull, Quebec, which I believe is his most famous Canadian project.

The presentation took place in the Northwest Community College longhouse where the acoustics are so poor, it was extremely difficult to follow the dialogue.

No person explained Mr. Cardinal’s presence or the purpose of the meeting.

Three members of a local first nations band opened the event. In full regalia, for about half an hour, they performed dances, drums and prayers.

Mr. Cardinal, it appeared to me, was

in the process of selling his architectural skills to a largely non-native audience.

The entire meeting seemed to be steeped in whispers, innuendo and hidden agendas.

This event brings about many questions. Who arranged Mr. Cardinals’s attendance? Who paid for his travel and other out-of-pocket expenses? What was the real purpose of his sales pitch? Is the city, a native band, or some other community group employing this Ottawa firm?

What is the project this mystery group has in mind? A site or project was not mentioned at the presentation. Someone needs to come clean and explain to the Terrace taxpayers their intentions.

By the way, who is the Skeena Diversi-

ty Society? What is their mandate? Which tax pocket pays their bills? I become very nervous with quiet, unelected committees who appear to shield council from their duties to the taxpayers.

Mr. Cardinal is a great architect with a specific style. However, does Terrace, at this point, need an Eiffel Tower or a Taj Mahal to bring out “The Spirit of Terrace,” whatever that means.

Someone out there seems anxious to break ground with silver shovels and taxpayer dollars.

Are we headed towards a multimillion dollar project while my street’s city flagged pothole remains unrepaired for the past two months?

Cont’d Page A10

Dear Sir: So, Black Press (The Terrace Standard division) becomes beneficiary of quite impressive windfall advertising revenues because some petrogoo consortium is having a spot of bother steamrolling one of their schemes over a bunch of less-than-appreciative locals [—including natives in both senses of the word].

That wouldn’t have anything to do with the Standard’s suddenly-burgeoning adverse editorial interest (“Lunch time,” July 4, 2012) in groups or individuals actively gainsaying said project, would it?

Where’s the editorial ire about Enbridge’s unsubstantiated claim [June 5th] that an unspecified 60 per cent of First Nations groups [and 80 per cent of the individuals] along the right-of-way support the proposal? Enbridge’s fob-off: “Names? Oh, we can’t give you names, we’re far too discrete for that” kinda begs the question — what’s being hidden?

Yet the next day, the integrity of our elected member of Parliament gets whacked on the editorial page over some polling his outfit commissioned around the pipeline issue.

Polling happens. It hardly warrants the weight of an editorial verdict. (well, maybe an editorial cartoon…) But obviously Nathan Cullen’s up to something nefarious, prompting the editorial inquisition “what’s being hidden?” Cue the spooky music.

And now, the Bun Fight at the College! Some local ladies decide to protest–civilly and legitimately–an Enbridge attempt to ‘educate’ some select few of the yokels on the benefits of petrogoo-ing your grandkids, and the editor fumes mightily. Get a grip! Or at least loosen Enbridge’s.

John How, Terrace, B.C.

It’s broken and needs to be fixed

A

crucial meeting that’s happening within days of the Gitxsan people in the Hazeltons threatens to perpetuate a deep-seated problem of how a key organization there functions.

It’s called the Gitxsan Treaty Society and its job for the past 18 years has been to represent the Gitxsan people in their move toward a better life.

But the problem with the society has always been how its leadership is selected and how it reflects the desires of the Gitxsan people.

That’s led to an ongoing court case which resulted in a March 2012 ruling by BC Supreme Court Justice Mark McEwan.

He found the society didn’t have any members as such and without members, it therefore didn’t have a properly constituted board of directors and management group.

But Mr. Justice McEwan did provide a solution, telling the society to develop a “communitybased process” to resolve the situ-

ation.

The Gitxsan Treaty Society response was to hold a meeting June 26 so that, and this is using the society’s own words, “each Gitxsan Wilp (House) will have an opportunity to select the members of the [society] who will have the power to select the society’s directors.’

Unfortunately, the response from the treaty society did not respect the court’s directions.

First, the meeting, which was held at Gitsegukla, should have been open to all Gitxsan people.

It was not. Key voices were excluded. Secondly, some Wilp Chiefs do not consult with their house members, who are thereby excluded from the discussion.

Finally, there was only a small number of people, approximately 50, at the meeting.

That meant the meeting and the outcome could be organized and conducted in much the same dictatorial way as Gitxsan Treaty Society meetings since 1994.

Why weren’t ads placed in Smithers and Terrace newspapers beginning a month or more

GUEST COMMENT

NEIL STERRITT ago, with an open invitation to all Gitxsan people, and a ‘plain speak’ explanation of the meeting’s purpose?

Why didn’t the treaty society provide options to the Gitxsan people, such as: Option 1. Participatory Organization: Here, all Gitxsan persons have the right to participate and vote on major matters affecting the nation, and those members

adopt a process whereby they together appoint qualified board members.

Option 2.

Representative Organization: Here, segments of the Gitxsan population (communities, or Hereditary Chiefs, or…), in a broadly participatory fashion, choose representatives to a body that in turn appoints qualified board members. Instead, the treaty society simply imposes its will on the community.

The society now proposes to hold a three-day meeting in July.

It is being held to endorse the process apparently agreed to by those at the June 26 meeting, sparsely attended as it was.

Will that meeting be the “community-based model” (open to all) as the Supreme Court has directed? Will all Gitxsan be able to speak during the meeting?

Will there be a qualified, independent officer supervising closed ballots so everyone can comfortably vote “yes” or “no” on the society proposal and on the BC treaty process?

Should the treaty society an-

swer “yes” to these questions, it might achieve in part the Supreme Court’s order.

We’ve already seen what happens when Gitxsan people aren’t included in their own affairs and that was the blockade of the treaty society’s offices in Hazelton after the now-discredited Enbridge deal was released last December.

The same people that mounted the blockade removed it in response to the start of a financial audit of the society’s affairs.

There is an air of anticipation around the audit’s results. And what if the audit returns a clean bill of health?

A failure of the society to reform from within will still leave the Gitxsan people with a serious governance problem.

Neil Sterritt was president of the Gitksan-Wet’suwet’en Tribal Council, the political organization which took the federal and provincial governments to court, resulting in an advancement of native rights and title through the Delgamuukw decision of 1997. He is now a consultant.

THE MAILBAG

Dear Sir: I wish to respond to your editorial of July 4th, entitled “Lunch Time.”

You refer to the opposition to the proposed Enbridge project as being “extraordinarily well-organized” and as “breaching principles held dearly in Canada.”

Enbridge has a hundred million dol-

$

lars and high-ranking political contacts.

Nobody could accuse them of being poorly organized or underfunded.

Enbridge may have money, but we, the opposition, have numbers.

My mind is reeling as I try to imagine, as you suggested, “the situation being reversed.”

The Mail Bag From A7

Co-op land still unused The city has apparently created a Co-op property task force. It is now obvious that mayor and council are not interested in selling the site as previously claimed as a reason for demolition.

The total cost of the Co-op lands to date must be in the area of $1.5 million, which council has never disclosed in detail or included lost taxes.

A dramatic edifice by an Ottawa architect, for an undisclosed project on taxpayer lands seems highly inappropriate. If Terrace planners are eager to enhance the city in a major way, there are many other options. One such element would be a walkway along the north shore of the Skeena River. This pathway would extend from Ferry Island west along the river, connecting to the millennium trail.

All great cities, London, Paris, New York, have embraced their rivers with public spaces, that over time, define their communities.

A close example is the Stanley Park seawall. With vision, purpose and open dialogue, Terrace could commence to do the same.

Terrace, to date, ignores the river as a value to its citizens, except for the outfall from the sewage settlement

ponds. A Skeena River linear parkway, in time, would increase the adjacent area land values and subsequent taxes.

This walkway loop could be a step to uniting the south side with the horse show area. It could be a very green development with the river used for heating and cooling in future buildings. What a great place for seniors’ housing, a restaurant, boat launch, city hall or public park, to name a few. Walkers, cyclists, skiers, fishers from the youngest citizen to the oldest would utilize such a development. It’s time for the Terrace area to embrace the river as the greatest natural asset it surely is.

I believe the Co-op property, adjacent to the coal and container trains should be sold and the proceeds used to commence the Skeena River Walkway.

We don’t need an Ottawa international design celebrity to do this project. The millennium walkway planners or those that designed the new entrance to George Little Park will do just fine.

Hopefully, there is some like-minded person or group who will take up this challenge and avoid some obscure hidden project fostered by unknown persons.

sumed the throne over education.

Year after year the province has said that it has no money for edu-

Negotiations

College feels heat Dear Sir: After reading about the jobs czar, Pat Bell’s comments left me wondering what exactly are they planning to do to train people for “skills training?” The Ministry of Advanced Education and the college have for years worked with employers to develop a curriculum of theory and skills to ensure safe, knowledgeable, skilled workers.

What is different in the czar approach is only employers have a say–who is looking out for the workers? Let’s not do away with a high quality system of developing skilled workers (Red-Seal Trades) that have balanced skills and knowledge. If trades are booming, why has the college drastically cut career and college prep courses’ (high school equivalent) instructors?

These courses are the most important for our college as our region has very low high school completion rates, leaving many people unable to enrol in post-secondary trades and university level programs.

This proven system ensures a trained workforce that will stay and work in this region.

MLA Austin running for a third time SKEENA NEW Democrat MLA Robin Austin has been nominated to run for his party in next May’s provincial election.

Austin, who won the seat in 2005 and again in 2009, was chosen by acclamation at a meeting held by the New Democratic Party’s Skeena provincial riding association on June 23.

“This is obviously a very exciting time as things are looking up for us as the pollsters suggest we’re ready to move from opposition to the governing side.

But there is still a lot of hard work ahead,” said Austin.

He said he’s looking forward to the potential of being part of a governing party after years of honing his skills as an opposition MLA. “After two terms you see what happens on the other sides when they

make decisions and enact them. And there’s the opportunity at the same time to think of how you would do things differently,” said Austin who is his party’s education critic.

Austin wouldn’t reveal how much money his constituency association has raised so far for next year’s election campaign but did say it was substantial but that more was needed.

He did say the riding association’s membership numbers more than 300 people, a factor helped in part by federal Skeena - Bulkley Valley NDP MP Nathan Cullen’s run at the federal NDP leadership this spring.

“As you know, within the NDP, when you buy a membership, you are a member provincially and federally,” said Austin.

One provincial Liberal policy Austin says

will be fully examined should the NDP be elected is the development of independent power projects.

He’s predicting BC Hydro bills will soar once the true costs of buying power from independent producers is known.

That’s because BC Hydro has been shuffling off those costs into deferral accounts – an accounting practice which shelters, for the time being, expenses from showing up on the crown corporation’s books.

“BC Hydro is going to be in an awful state,” said Austin. “It’s not going to be millions, but billions of dollars of debt that its ratepayers, and that’s really taxpayers because they are really the same, are going to have to pay.”

He said the use of deferral accounts to shuffle off expenses

Robin Austin such as contracts to buy independent power allowed BC Hydro to report profits and then to have those profits claimed by the provincial government.

Austin repeated an NDP policy statement that should the party be elected next May, it will open all of BC Hydro’s independent power purchase contracts for public scrutiny.

“It may not be on Day One, but it will

happen,” he said.

Austin also said he was mystified that Liberal energy minister Rich Coleman would say the NDP, if elected, would stop construction of the Northwest Transmission Line.

The line is scheduled to be finished in early 2014 and construction activity is accelerating this summer.

Coleman, in a press release, said he was responding to reports from NDP energy critic John Horgan that BC Hydro’s capital projects list needs to be examined.

“The Northwest Transmission Line is crucial for the development of new mines like the recently permitted Red Chris Mine. This transmission line is extremely important in allowing clean energy projects along the North Coast to gain access to the grid to support the

Fraser Valley Bound?

growing demand for power in our province.

We cannot afford to let these opportunities be delayed,” said Coleman.

Austin said construction of the Northwest Transmission Line, which will be halfway toward completion if the NDP are elected next spring, has the support of his party. “I think Mr. Coleman would find that at least half of the [NDP caucus] made ex-

pressions of support,” said Austin.

A social worker by profession, Austin claimed Skeena from the Liberals in 2005 by defeating then-incumbent Roger Harris and defended it successfully against Liberal Donny van Dyk in 2009.

The riding takes in Kitimat, Terrace and extends eastward down Hwy16 to take in a portion of the Kitwanga area.

NDP leads in polls POLITICIANS ARE always quick to say that the only poll that counts is the one on election day.

But if opinion polls are correct, the provincial NDP opposition will form the next government after the May 2013 provincial election.

Polling in May by the firm of Angus Reid shows support for the BC New Democrats has grown to half of the decided voters. And that’s a seven per cent increase over April results.

The 802 respondents were asked, “If a provincial election were held tomorrow in British Columbia, which one of the following parties would you be most likely to support in your constituency?”

Man guilty of murder in Kitimat stabbing A MAN charged with second degree murder will wait another month to learn his sentence after being found guilty by a jury in a 10-day trial.

Robert David Purchase, who was 30 when arrested after a fatal stabbing in Kitimat in November 2009, will be sentenced in Terrace supreme court Aug. 24.

On the morning of November 8, 2009, Arkadiusz Rejczak was stabbed on Angle St. in Kitimat, reported Kitimat RCMP at that time.

Rejczak later died of his wounds.

Police reported that they were

searching for a man seen at the scene and later arrested Purchase on unrelated charges in Terrace, said police in a subsequent statement.

The RCMP investigation, in conjunction with the major crimes unit in Prince George, revealed that Purchase had been in a fight with the victim.

Purchase was charged with second degree murder on March 25, 2010 in relation to the death of Rejczak, said police.

The trial was originally set for four weeks but was completed in two weeks.

Course here for troubled couples A COURSE offered this summer hopes to provide the means to restore the friendship of couples who may be having troubles with their relationships.

“It’s the friendship of a couple that breaks down.

That person is your best friend, that’s what we’re really talking about,” says Devin Pollitt, who will be offering the no-charge five-week course through the Terrace and District Community Services Society beginning July 16.

Pollitt says he hopes to offer the ways and means for couples to help understand each other and that quite often it’s the lack of understanding that causes problems in the first place.

He does warn that the course won’t save a relationship or marriage as couples will get out of it what they put into the twice-weekly sessions.

It’s also meant as a course in which skills such as communication will be taught and should not be regarded as therapy.

Pollitt is basing the course on the work of American psychologist Dr. John Gottman who, in studying marriage extensively, found that foundations established by couples in their early years are crucial for a relationship to continue.

“It’s the quality of the friendship of the couple, the emotional intelligence,” says Pollitt of how a relationship continues and grows.

“There is hope for couples who are going through distress,” he adds.

Pollitt does acknowledge that financial problems are a leading factor in relationship breakdowns but says that’s a symptom of something else.

“Money comes up a lot because you’re always dealing with money,” he says. “That’s just another problem. If you have a healthy relationship and a friendship, that’s the foundation.”

The overall goal of a couple is to go after problems as a team and not individually, Pollitt adds.

Pollitt, who has a social work degree and who wants to pursue a masters degree in counselling, expects each session to last up to three hours through a combination of discussion, DVDs, activities and games.

IT’S NOT JUST ABOUT GROWING TRADE.

IT’S ABOUT CREATING A WORLD OF OPPORTUNITIES.

The Port of Prince Rupert is faster and more reliable than any west coast port.

This strategic advantage is moving our economy forward. We’re expanding Canadian trade by moving goods safely, responsibly and sustainably. More trade means more jobs and more opportunities throughout all of British Columbia.

AND THAT MEANS A BRIGHTER FUTURE FOR ALL OF US.

BOTH THE Coast Mountains School District and local teachers’ union representatives are looking forward to a normal start to the school year after the province’s school boards voted July 4 to ratify a deal reached with the BC Teachers’ Federation (BCTF) “We’re hoping for a nice, calm, ordinary school year,� said school board chair Art Erasmus.

The BCTF approved the deal June 29, after union executives reluctantly recommended the teachers vote in favour. “A lot of people felt in betwixt

the deductible for teachers here was increased, she said.

The local benefits package is just one factor that will come into play when the teachers start negotiations again next year.

The deal reached is a two-year agreement that runs retroactively to June 30, 2011 and expires on June 30, 2013 meaning its back to the table next spring.

Both Erasmus and Lambright acknowledged that next year’s provincial election in May could have a significant effect on negotiations. “Issues that weren’t resolved this time are expected to be canvassed again,� said Erasmus.

“There’s going to be a provincial election right before negotiations.� “I don’t think the NDP can solve all of our problems,� said Lambright, noting the TDTU is not aligned with any political party. “But many teachers are discouraged with this government’s approach to education.�

But for now, parents and students can rest easy knowing that, at least in September, both sides are ready for business as usual. “No one likes to start a school year like we did last year,� said Lambright. “It’s hard for teachers to give up extracurriculars, it’s not something teachers take lightly. It’s

a positive experience for the students, teachers and their parents.� “It was a long, difficult year,� she said. “It’s nice to start the school year in school.�

Teachers began the school year last September by refusing a number of duties, including report card preparation and supervising students on school grounds before and after class and during recess.

Teachers were also told not to take part in extracurricular athletic and cultural activities.

That escalated into a three-day strike this spring and the passage of back to work legislation by the provincial government.

C OMMUNITY Ma Lambly’s returns to Terrace MARGARET SPEIRS

WHEN THE curtain closed on the popular Terrace historical play Ma Lambly’s more than four years ago after a number of successful runs, audiences weren’t sure if they’d ever get a chance to experience Terrace through Flossie Lambly’s eyes and memories again.

But luckily for them – and especially for those just discovering the area – playwright and historian Cindy Hansen and actor Janine Hamming have brought Ma Lambly back to life.

Ma Lambly’s is a play about the early history of Terrace told by weaving together the stories of eight women, all played by Hamming. Its first run was around Christmas in 2004 and during the next three years it ran more than 30 times.

At the time, Hansen was working as the curator of Heritage Park Museum.

“There’s been enough time away from it,” said Hamming, on why they chose to remount it now. “I think we kind of exhausted the audience last time, playing so many shows. It’s small town, there’s only so much audience. But with it being new, I think we’ll attract some more people.

The characters, with surnames that will be familiar to Terracites, like Eby, Lanfear, and Little, were developed by Hansen after she interviewed family and community members, and scoured old newspaper clippings and historical records.

She stresses that while some of the women are based on real people, others are fictional composites. There are also two new characters this time around. Danina Lanfear and Clara Little join the familiar faces of Flossie ‘Ma’ Lambly, who audience members might be surprised to learn is also the greatgrandmother of celebrated artist Freda Diesing, Vina Eby, Annie Ross, Addie Nelson, Corporal Lizzie Rochester and nurse Jenn Erickson, to make it a more well-rounded affair.

“There were bits in the play that I wanted to explain more,” said Hansen.

(250) 638-7283

“I thought introducing a new character would be a good way to explain that.”

She specifically wanted to explain the Indian Act and a part in the show that mentions “No Indians Allowed” signs on store doors. That portion is flushed out more thoroughly in this version using the character Clara Little.

Both Hamming and Hansen agree that the play is stronger this time around – the four-year hiatus meant they came back to it with fresh eyes and were able to give it a retooling. For Hamming, that meant changing some of the characters mannerisms. Hamming said the new show was somewhat of a challenge – although she’s played these characters before, and knows them through and through, she had to delve deep into herself to find the characters again. But once she found them it was like muscle memory and she had a chance to revisit the old characters and explore the new ones.

“I like Lizzie Rochester, I always have,” said Hamming. “She gets to be a bit crazy. But I mean, Flossie, she’s the one who grounds the whole thing.”

Flossie Lambly was the proprietor of the Corner Snack Shop that opened in 1945 where National Car Rental’s lot on Kalum St. is now. It was a touchstone in the early Terrace community.

“And Danina Lanfear is a great new character,” said Hansen. “There’s so much more to her story.”

The set and lighting have changed, as has Hamming’s hair, makeup and costuming. One of the best costume additions is Flossie Lambly’s purple coat – the real thing, donated by Roberta Perry, Flossie’s other daughter.

“We’re serving things differently as well,” said Hamming. Tea, coffee and desserts are served to audience members who watch the show sitting at banquets.

“The whole space becomes part of the ANNA KILLEN PHOTO show,” said Hansen.

The show runs through July and Au- JANINE HAMMING reprises her role as Flossie ‘Ma’ Lambly and seven other historical gust in the Dance Hall at Heritage Park. women of Terrace at Heritage Park Museum.

Rainy Canada Day at Heritage Park shines MORE THAN 1,500 people attended Canada Day celebrations at Heritage Park July 1, continuing a tradition of making the park the place to be in Terrace for the country’s birthday.

One of the highlights this year was having a local artist at each of the park’s log buildings.

Not only could people view artists’ work and ask questions, they could also view the collections of artifacts inside each building.

“Having artists in residence at each of the buildings was part of the summer arts STAFF PHOTO festival,” said Heritage Park marketing and BLACKSMITH DAN Muller demonstrated his craft to interested spectators during events coordinator Rose Lariviere. “And by Canada Day celebrations at Heritage Park.

IN LOVING MEMORY

GARY (GERHARD) SEEBACHER September 27, 1947 - June 23, 2012

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our dear husband, father, and grandfather after a lengthy illness.

Gary was born in Vienna, Austria and was predeceased by parents David and Theresa. His family immigrated to Canada in November, 1953 and he has lived in Vancouver most of his life. He married the love of his life in October, 1979 and they moved to Terrace in September, 2007.

He is survived by his devoted wife Vicki, son Richard (Miho), and grandsons Ryker and Kyler; daughter Sabrina and grandson Kevin.

The family would like to thank Dr. Lennox Brown; the wonderful Paramedics who came to our home so often (special thanks to the 2 special ladies for their lovingkindness in my time of grief); the Long Term Home Support nurses; â&#x20AC;&#x153;We Careâ&#x20AC;? home support, Pallative Care, the Hospice Society, Medichair, VitalAire, the Red Cross Loan Program, Meals on Wheels, and all the others who helped me make my husbandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wish to die at home a reality.

To honour and respect his wishes, no service will be held. A family celebration of life will be held at a later date. In lieu of ďŹ&#x201A;owers, donations can be made to your favorite charity, preferably in support of Israel.

Artists take over Terrace

ANNA KILLEN PHOTO

ARTIST JENNY Ayotte puts the finishing touches on the fire hydrant she painted to look like a peacock at Lakelse and Kalem. Fifteen Terrace artists are in the process of repainting all of the hydrants. Ayotte was also one of the artists who participated in the painting in the park art auction held on July 4 as part of the Terrace Summer Arts Festival.

THE INAUGURAL Terrace Summer Arts Festival was out in full dress last week, with an opening gala at the art gallery on Friday, concerts in the park, daily workshops and a day-long event hosted

by Skeena Diversity at George Little Park that saw local artists painting huge pieces of art that were later auctioned off to the highest bidder on Wednesday.

The Boardwalk event was in part organized by local artist Matthew Daratha who brought together the same group of 13 artists who were involved in the last group show at Skeena Mall.

Daratha, along with Lynne Christiansen, was also involved in painting bear paws on Terrace sidewalks to help guide the new Bear Paw art walk. The walk had its trial run last Thursday and will happen again during Riverboat Days.

The Art Walk starts at George Little House, travels down Kalum then Lakelse towards city hall and then loops back to George Little House using Lazelle, making stops to view local art displayed along the way.

Maps of the art walk, which combines local history with places that show art in Terrace, will eventually be displayed in businesses, hotels, and tourism centres.

Painting the bear paws took a tin of blue spray paint for every block, said Yvonne Moen, who led the walk.

The Terrace District Arts Council and local businesses donated the funding for the paint.

The bear paws are blue because that is Terrace’s city colour.

Terrace Olympian sets for games TERRACE’S OLYMPIC hopeful, volleyball player Jason Haldane, is in the home stretch on his road to the 2012 London Olympic Games.

Haldane has been training with his Great Britain Volleyball teammates in Sheffield since the end of April. He moves into the Olympic Village on July 23 – the same day as his 41st birthday.

“We’re in the home stretch here,” he said, on the phone from Sheffield last week. “The last weeks have been chaos. It’s been tough training this much, at the age I am. I’m just making sure I don’t get injured.”

The team’s training regime started off with an overload of training for the first eight weeks – two hours in the morning doing technical training, fitness, strengthening and conditioning followed by three hours in the court. Now it’s about an hour to an hourand-a-half in the morning and two-and-ahalf hours at night, five - six days a week.

This combined with travelling around Europe, places like Switzerland, Austria, Denmark and Belgium, to play other professional teams.

Those games “were a real eye-opener for everyone,” he said.

Volleyball in Great Britain is a relatively new sport and hasn’t really been played at a high level, Haldane explained. “That’s one of the key reasons I’m on the team,” he said, citing his role as a team leader.

This will be the first time Great Britain will be represented in volleyball at the Olympics.

Haldane has been playing professional volleyball since the early ’90s. “I know all of the players on the other teams, I’ve played against everyone. I’m actually the oldest volleyball player in the Olympics,” he said.

Despite home-court advantage, Great Britain’s volleyball team is an underdog in the tournament. In their pool they have Italy and Poland, ranked third and fourth in the

world, Argentina, ranked eighth, Austria, ranked 22nd, and Bulgaria, ranked ninth.

Great Britain, in comparison, is ranked 92nd.

“But we really are hoping for the best,” he said.

“People aren’t expecting us to win, so if we can pull out a win it’ll be a huge victory.

We have some really talented players, so you never know.”

With only a few weeks to go before opening ceremonies, Haldane says it’s starting to set in.

We were in Edinburgh for a game and were involved in a ceremony with the Olympic flame, he said.

“That was the first real taste of it.”

He and his teammates also spent a day in the famed Olympic holding camp – getting fitted for Adidas clothing and gear, attending a drug-free seminar and learning about the general rules and protocols for the games and living in the Olympic Village.

But everyone he has spoken to that has been to the Olympics before “says [the experience of being there] is nothing you can ever imagine.”

Haldane, who carries a British passport but is from Terrace, is not the only person on the team hailing from another country.

“There’s three of us: me, one Brazilian and another guy from the U.S.,” he said.

Haldane’s mother will be flying to London from Terrace to watch the last game, he said.

He’s hoping to make it back to town at the end of August to see his family.

One of his sons is also a volleyball player, who is trying out for provincials.

“He’s already a lot more talented than I was at that age,” he said.

And will he be bringing Terrace back an Olympic medal when he returns?

“I’m not going to get too ahead,” he said with a laugh. “But it would be great.”

Get your valve covers started THE SKEENA Valley Cruizers, Terrace’s car club, wants to get the word out about valve cover racing before their annual race during Riverboat Days in August.

What is valve cover racing?

It is a series of races between cars made using the valve covers of car engines – the long, narrow, wheeled devices don’t have engines, as motors aren’t allowed, so what results is kind of like a miniature soap box.

Since they don’t have motors, the race depends on gravity.

Cars start at the top of an incline, which can be straight or curved. They’re released at the same time, and, obviously, the first one to cross the finish line wins the race.

Terrace’s track is usually around 20 feet long with 18-inch-wide lanes.

“It’s interesting to watch,” said car club member Bryan Gascon.

They’re also fun to make, he said.

“They can be as simple or as complicated as you want,” he said.

Some people go all out, decorating their valve covers with elaborate themes and teching them out so that they are more aerodynamic.

The car club hosts valve cover races during the Show and Shine during Riverboat Days.

This year’s event will be held on August 4, right after the Riverboat Days parade.

It will be the third year these hobby races have been put on.

“We typically have 15 to 20 racers,” Gascon said.

“But I’m anticipating a couple of new entries this year.”

Although the race isn’t for a few weeks, Gascon wants potential new participants to start thinking about their racers now so that they have enough time to construct them before the Show and Shine.

There are a few guidelines for constructing a valve cover car to enter in the Cruizers’ tournament.

Cars can’t be more than 10 pounds, 30 inches long, 10 inches high and 15 inches wide.

Engines, propulsions and moving weights are not allowed.

The vehicle has to have four wheels that are no more than six inches in diameter and those wheels must have a non-metallic surface contacting the track.

And it doesn’t matter how the wheel is attached to the car, so long as it isn’t extending beyond the front of the valve cover.

Courts get a makeover thanks to youth efforts

MEMBERS OF the city’s youth advisory committee joined with members of the Terrace Rotary Club and with mayor Dave Pernarowski for the official opening of a basketball court and ball hockey space at the old tennis courts just below the Sportsplex.

T

he Lakelse River is high, but clear.

I go there to see if any sockeye are flipping about. There is nobody on the upper river. The area surrounding Finlay’s monument has been freshly swept. His son, Bruce, must have been in town lately and made the pilgrimage to their dad’s final resting spot. I sit on a stump at the opening to the river where Edger Brock’s son scattered his father’s ashes before hanging a small green metal sign to commemorate the event. I look out across the river to the spot where Hugh Storey told me he would like his ashes scattered. Over the course of the splendid fall and winter five years ago, Hugh hooked over a hundred Lakelse River steelhead, most of them standing just downstream of that spot. Over the long snowy winter another hemlock has come down in almost the same spot as the one that was swept away two years ago. It will please him to see it there.

I slip into the river. The dog follows along the bank but just can’t resist the temptation to plunge in. As I make my way downstream she treads water below me, inexorably losing ground until she’s a long way below me where, thankfully, she makes her way to shore. As I change to a partridge and orange, she trots back up the trail, enters the water, and swims out again with the same result. She has the strength

THE OLD tennis courts on the corner of Kalum and Paul Clark Drive have been refurbished to contain a basketball court and ball hockey space.

The idea came from the city’s youth advisory committee, says Kim MacDougall, a city leisure services program supervisor who acts as the liaison between the city and the committee.

“We then applied for a grant from the rotary club for $7,000 – the fence alone was $5,000,” said MacDougall of purchases, which include basketball nets and ball hockey nets.

Fencing was needed to separate the basketball court from the ball hockey area.

“And the roller derby club uses this space as well,” said MacDougall of the Northern Nightmares.

Built decades ago, the tennis courts haven’t been used for that purpose for some time.

MacDougall did point out there remains two tennis courts within the city – one run by the school district on Straume in the horseshoe and one on the bench adjacent to Heritage Park.

There will be basketball nets

The youth advisory committee has also organized a dance and last fall organized a food bank drive.

young children, a girl and a boy. Reg fished a lot then. Possibly to escape the turmoil in his life. And there clearly was turmoil in because his wife took the kids and left him.

Shortly after that, Reg checked out.

After the funeral his family scattered his ashes at Herman’s and nailed a small wooden sign of a spruce overlooking a gentle pool in the creek. The sign was modest, like Reg. You would be hard pressed to see it if you didn’t know it was there. It hung, unobtrusively, until some jerk scouring the bush for kindling found it and tossed it into the flames. I found the scorched remains in the dead fire, the dedication still discernible. I took it to Mike Whelpley, whose dad, Jack, took the information and made a replica of the old sign on varnished yellow cedar. Mike took the sign and a ladder to Herman’s and nailed it to another spruce, about 6 metres up this time.

Now, some thirty years later, it has been knocked down again by some disrespectful scum then put up again by some decent fellow, or, possibly, by a witness to the vandalism who felt some remorse.

I’m appalled just like I was the first time. I take a picture with my phone and forward to Mike, who, with a failing heart and kidneys, is fighting for his life in Prince George General.

It’s still up, Mike, I typed beneath the picture.
