Bets hedged on slot expansion Terrace city council hedged its bets Oct. 9 about allowing more slot machines at Chances’ operation here by wanting to first hear from the public.

Council voted unanimously to host a community forum after being asked by the BC Lottery Corporation to either increase the number of slot machines allowed at Chances Terrace or remove the maximum number it can have altogether.

But some councillors felt that a social cost comes with gambling and that such a decision shouldn’t be made lightly.

Chances Terrace has the highest demand on weekends for its slot machines compared to two other regional Chances outlets, a BC Lottery Corporation official told council.

Ninety per cent of the 75 slot machines are occupied here on the weekends compared to 54 per cent in Prince Rupert and 71

per cent in Williams Lake.

To keep up with demand, BC Lottery would like to up the number in Terrace to 99, said lottery official Greg Walker.

“Prince Rupert is not that far away,” Walker told council, noting reports from Chances management say that customers are willing to travel the distance to have more machine selection.

Slot machines here are Chance’s highest

revenue source, brining in $9.6 million during the 2011/2012 fiscal year. From earnings from that period, $713,590 was paid in the form of community grants to local organizations.

Grants received include $100,000 to the Kalum Community School Society, $100,000 to the Ksan House Society and $66,500 to Volunteer Terrace.

City finalizes tax exemptions

My Mountain Co-op is getting a city tax break this year but the Terrace and District Chamber of Commerce isn’t, council has decided in setting out tax exemptions for the 2013 budget year.

The co-op, a non-profit which runs the Shames Mountain ski facility, is now exempt from paying $1,275 in property taxes connected to the use of office space in the cityowned Kwinitsa Station House and in paying $403 in school and other municipal taxes.

But for the first time, the local chamber of commerce is not exempt. The city opted instead to waive only a portion of its property taxes as 70 per cent of its building is occupied by the city-financed visitor info centre and Kermodei Tourism.

The city grants the Kermodei Tourism Society $120,000 yearly and the society runs the visitor info centre.

The 70 per cent tax exemption amounts to $5,425 in city taxes and $1,716 in other municipal taxes.

The rationale behind only providing a portion of an exemption this year compared to last is that the chamber has started charging the visitor info centre market value rent for the space it uses.

“This year, we negotiated a lease with the city on behalf of Kermodei Tourism that got the chamber fair market value for rent,” said the chamber’s executive director Carol Fielding.

Market value rent is $10.50 per square foot, said Fielding, adding that in former years the chamber ran

the visitor info centre.

“I think the rationale is correct that [if] they’re charging market rate lease to the city, they would no longer qualify for a tax exemption,” said councillor James Cordeiro about council’s rationale.

Additionally, he said council thought it was inappropriate to be giving a tax break to a business organization that lobbies city council on behalf of its members.

“Basically, to be eligible for a tax exemption you have to be a non-business organization, you have to fit within the city mandate and have a financial need,” said the city’s finance director Ron Bowles in laying out the criteria council looks at when making decisions.

Terrace’s Little Theatre was also added to the city’s list of permissive tax exemptions this year at $4,450 for city taxes and $1,407.

The value of this year’s tax exemptions approved by council is $267,418 and $92,157 in other municipal taxes like hospital and school.

Organizations on that list include, the Terrace Curling Association, Women’s Auxiliary to Hospital, Terrace Elks, Terrace Child Development Centre, Kermode Friendship Society, Terrace Kitimat Airport Society, Ksan House Society, TEDA, Seventh-day Adventists at the All Nations Centre, Terrace Beautification Society, Terrace Little Theatre Society and the Salvation Army.

LYNNE CHRISTIANSEN returns to city council for the first time Oct. 9 since recovering from a life-threatening illness.

Greyhound wants to trim its service CITING CONTINUING losses, Greyhound wants to cut bus service.

The company now runs 11 buses eastbound and 11 westbound each week for a total of 22 along Hwy16 between Prince George and Prince Rupert but should its reduction application be accepted, that frequency could drop to just one each way each day or 14 a week.

In its application to the provincial Passenger Transportation Board, the bus company said it could reduce its B.C. losses by approximately $6.75 million if it was able to eliminate one route and cut service on 15 others.

People who wish to comment on Greyhound’s plans have until Oct. 24 to contact the transportation board.

The two routes Greyhound wants eliminated run overnight – one west from Prince Rupert to Prince George and the other east from Prince George to Prince Rupert. The average passenger load on one is 10.5 and the other is 11, with both generating barely $2.30 of revenue per passenger mile.

Greyhound BC passenger service manager Grant Odsen did note that the cuts requests would establish minimum levels of service and that the number of runs could increase.

“We can just schedule more. We don’t have to apply,” he said.

But Odsen did note that any increase in service depends upon an increase in the number of passengers and revenue. He did say that while the regional economy may be picking up, “we haven’t seen a big change in ridership up there.”

Greyhound also said the number of people taking the Northern Health Authority’s Northern Health Connections bus has cut into its business.

That service, which runs from Prince Rupert to Prince George, into northeastern BC and down to Vancouver, is heavily subsidized by the

provincial government via a grant to the health authority.

The round trip rate of $40 between Prince George and Terrace is for a service that runs each way four days a week. “The one good thing about the Northern Health Authority service is that you have to have a bona fide medical appointment,” Odsen acknowledged.

Odsen said he realized the Greyhound application would affect people. “I do feel for the smaller communities to some extent and know they will feel cut off. But we’re seeing a shift in demographics among a number of other things. Unfortunately, we need to make a business case,” he said.

Skeena NDP MLA Robin Austin said he hoped people and groups will make comments to the Passenger Transportation Board by the Oct. 24 deadline. The board can, if it wishes, hold hearings into applications.

“Clearly it’s a service we need in the north,” said Austin of Greyhound.

“And we are trying to stop women from hitchhiking. That can be very dangerous.”

Terrace city councillor Stacey Tyers said she’ll be asking for council support in sending a letter advocating that Greyhound not reduce its service.

“We are the Highway of Tears,” said Tyers in noting that without bus service, the only method of transportation between locations along Hwy16 for some people is to hitchhike.

Greyhound was last given permission by the Passenger Transportation Board to cut service in 2006.

It wanted to reduce service to once each way each day, or 14 trips a week, the same reduction it is now requesting. But after hearings were held in Terrace, Greyhound amended its cut request to the current level of service.

Infant’s death cause ruled undetermined In Search Of...

By MARGARET SPEIRS

THE CORONER examining the death of an infant here two years ago has ruled it as undetermined and made no recommendations.

The eight-month-old boy died at about 3 a.m.

July 28, 2010 and the coroner’s report noted that “an unsafe sleep environment is a contributing factor.”

On July 28, 2010, Terrace RCMP and paramedics were called out for a report of an unresponsive infant. “Upon arrival, police and paramedics entered the residence and discovered an eight-monthold infant who was deceased on scene. The cause of death at this point is unknown,” reported police at that time.

The boy was born by caesarean section and was the second of twin boys, having a low birth weight of 2,290 grams (5.05 lbs.), said the coroner’s report.

He was discharged from hospital five days after birth and weighed 2,355 grams (5.19 lbs.) at that time, continued the report.

“The public health nurse and family physician both discussed safe sleep arrangements with [his] family,” said the report. “There was a crib available for [him] to sleep in however he frequently slept in an adult bed with his family members.”

The coroner’s report said that shortly after midnight July 28, 2010. the infant was placed on his back on an adult double bed, wearing a diaper and not covered by any sheets or blankets, said the report.

A family member last checked on him at 2:30 a.m. and then fell asleep on the bed beside him, the report continued. He was laying on his back with his head toward the head of the bed, between the family member and the wall, said the report.

Sometime during the night, the family member grew cold and pulled up a blanket to cover them both, continued the report.

“The family member awoke just before 0700 hours and threw back the covers that had been completely covering [the child]. He was discovered to be lying on his back with his feet toward the wall...

It was noticed right away that [he] was not breathing or moving. [He] was moved quickly to the living room and CPR was attempted by a family member while 911 was called,” continued the report.

“The BC Ambulance Service arrived at 0702 hours and attempted to ventilate [him],” which was unsuccessful, said the report.

Cause of death of an infant is determined by examining the scene, obtaining medical history and doing postmortem exams, which includes ruling out disease, said the report.

“Risk factors may be identified that cannot be excluded as it relates to the death. The role of an

external condition or risk factor may not be fully known or can be difficult to evaluate, prove or disprove and therefore cannot be excluded.

“In this case, the role of an unsafe sleep environment may be considered a risk factor as it related to the death,” said the report.

No cause of death could be determined and a number of injuries that were healing weren’t serious enough to cause death, said the report.

“Death by an asphyxial mechanism cannot be ruled out as it is a diagnosis of exclusion with very few findings at autopsy,” said the report.

Coroner Adele Lambert, who wrote the report, said “asphyxial mechanism” is suffocation due to a blocked airway, which could happen in a variety of ways; however, she stressed that although it may be a part of what happened to the boy, it does not mean that is what caused his death.

“Often times when an autopsy is done, they don’t necessarily find a cause of death,” said Lambert.

As for why no recommendations were made to prevent the death of another child, Lambert said not every report has recommendations and the coroner can’t address recommendations to individuals – they must be made to a wider audience.

In regards to putting a baby to sleep safely, it’s up to the parents to decide whether to follow the suggested guidelines, she said.

Lambert said that the Ministry of Children and Family Development received a copy of her report as did the Representative for Children and Youth Mary Ellen Turpel Lafond.

The Office of the Representative for Children and Youth has yet to make an official statement on the coroner’s report. “...the Representative can only launch an investigation or review once all pending criminal investigations and any coroners’ reviews have been completed,” said Carla Wormald from the representative’s office.

“Only once a formal investigation is launched would we publicly comment on any specific cases,” she said.

The Representative for Children and Youth helps children, youth and families who need assistance in dealing with the child-serving system, provides oversight to the Ministry of Children and Family Development and advocates for improvements to the child-serving system.

The position is not part of the government and doesn’t report through a provincial ministry – the representative is an independent officer of the legislature.

Police are not investigating the child’s death.

“The file is concluded,” said Terrace RCMP spokesperson Const. Angela Rabut.

Ministry made aware of concern for infant THE CORONER’S report into the 2010 death of an infant boy here noted several health factors.

The report noted that the residence hadn’t been kept up and was reported to have black mold, which can cause adverse health effects in infants.

The family moved to a new residence in better condition five days prior to the infant’s death, continued the report.

The baby was taken to the emergency room for burns to his left shoulder, arm and face, which were red with severe blisters on June 16, 2010, said the report. Family members said the infant sustained those injuries from crawling against an electric wall heater, continued the report.

The physician noticed that he was missing the part of his nose between the nostrils, which had been there at his last visit to the doctor in January 2010, said the report.

The family said the infant had been scratching

himself, which caused infection and destruction of that part of his nose and the conclusion was that the missing part was caused by traumatic injury, continued the report.

Concern about these injuries led to a report being made to the Ministry of Children and Family Development; he was not removed from the home “as there was no definitive evidence of abuse or neglect that would support such a decision. The social worker made arrangements for the infant to attend the Suspected Child Abuse and Neglect Clinic at BC Children’s Hospital; however this appointment did not occur prior to his death,” said the report.

The day before he died, the infant sounded congested and was drooling a lot as he was teething, said the coroner’s report.

Although it was warm in the residence, he was not affected by it as he ate and drank normally, continued the report.

Terrace businesses in the service sector make plans for the long-haul

a good economic recipe for success here right now.

“The population is going to grow. There’s going to be a need,” he said.

A new name also means a new location, in the old Terrace and District Credit Union building on Lazelle Ave. The sale also means Jeffrey, who is still working there, will get to enjoy a long-awaited lifestyle change.

“I’ve been doing this myself with my wife and we’ve had a third employee,” said Jeffrey. “One of the things that I’m looking forward to the most is taking some time off.”

By Lauren Benn We’ve all seen the price tags attached to major projects in B.C.’s northwest.

It isn’t a myth that work on a number of those projects has started, and that optimistic forecasts show more plans could materialize too.

But when big industry and the big money behind it start making local headlines, it isn’t easy to gauge how many of those dollars will flow into local coffers.

While many eyes have focussed on the overhaul of the Skeena Mall under new owners and the arrival of new tenants, there’s activity elsewhere.

That’s one of the reasons Terrace and District Chamber of Commerce executive director Carol Fielding says she sees a trend of cautiousness among local business owners in the service and retail sectors when it comes to growing and expanding.

“There’s a consumer confidence that’s reflecting into our retail market,” said Fielding, adding from what she’s seen local retailers haven’t responded to it with full force just yet.

“I think they’re stepping up as much as they can without overdosing on it to determine whether this is a short spurt that’s going to die down after the summer months.

Whether there’s actually a boost in the steady economy.”

With that said, an increase in consumer confidence means an increase in sales.

And a look at booked-up hotel rooms in town means there are more people here, with jobs, who are spending, she said.

“Everybody is still trying to determine what that dynamic is,” said Fielding.

“Long-term, I think businesses will react when they start to realize that we’ve got bigger stores coming to town.”

With that said, there are some local retailers in Terrace that are spending now to position themselves for the future.

Building Kondolas Furniture owner Ben Kandola says he is optimistic about the local economy doing well for the long-term, and has recently decided to build a 53,000

“We see a good long-term future in Terrace and we see that Terrace has really become a hub for the northwest,” he said. “That really plays a big part for sure.”

While there are a couple of checkmarks left on the approval list before the project is a go, the new location, immediately east of Tim Hortons on Keith Ave., will be the biggest of the four Kondolas Furniture locations in B.C. The property is bounded to the north by Keith Ave. and sidewalks will be put there.

Kandola kept mum about the estimated project cost.

But plans include a twostorey structure with high ceilings, two separate retail units opening onto Keith Ave., a parking lot and sidewalks.

South Kalum St., marking the western edge of the property will be widened and a sidewalk will run along Feeney St. as part of an earlier commitment tied to the development.

The current Kondolas location on Laklese Ave. is 26,000 square feet and

would be rented out after the move to the Southside. If plans materialize, the shovel is slated to hit the ground in 2013.

Kandola bought the Southside property in 2007 but wasn’t sure what to do with it until this year.

“It was just a good piece of property so we bought it in 2007 not quite knowing what we’re doing with it,” he said, noting that activity in the area sparked the idea to build.

And since Kandola and his family have been living in Terrace for about four decades, he said expanding in the northwest was a no-

brainer.

“We love Terrace so that’s a big thing. That influences the decision quite a bit,” said Kandola.

Kondolas is not the only locally-owned business that’s changing with the market here.

Moving in optician Irwin Jeffrey and his wife Nancy Almedia Jeffrey have run Northern Eyes Optical on Lazelle Ave. since 1998.

“We heard stories of people who were waiting six months [to see an optometrist],” said Jeffrey, explaining that years ago it

was hard to convince doctors from elsewhere to make the trip to Terrace and keep up with demand for appointments through his business.

In 2009, he started a petition, gathering about 150 signatures from local residents to be used in efforts to bring optometrists here.

That goal was in line with the decision to sell Northern Eyes Optical to B.C. company Omni Eyes and Vision, owned by Dr. Amit Mathur who grew up in Kitimat B.C. Mathur is an optometrist who lectures about health and vision at universities internationally on behalf of pharmaceutical companies.

He and two other optometrists will take turns coming to Terrace as needed.

The business has been renamed Northern Eyes Optometry.

The 37-year-old father owns 14 clinics and eyewear locations across B.C., and says he’s always wanted to bring his business back to the northwest since he left to further his education after graduating from Mount Elizabeth Secondary School in 1993.

“I knew I was going to come back and do stuff up here,” he said, adding there’s

Terrace local Kevin Kennedy can usually be seen spending his time off either on or near the hockey rink.

Hockey is just one of the ways through which he likes to engage with the community of Terrace where he was born and raised.

And along with Terrace Totem Ford business partners Mitch Shinde and Shane De Jong, Kennedy will be spending half a million dollars renovating Terrace’s Ford dealership location on Keith Ave. “It doesn’t have to be done, but I think the timing is right to do it,” said Kennedy. “It just makes sense to do it now. there’s a lot of excitement in town.”

Plans for renovating include a new showroom, new customer lounge, a new entrance tower with updated branding, landscaping, and curbing along the sidewalk out front.

The business, like many in Terrace, went through the down times in the 1990s and into the last decade with the collapse of the forest industry.

In 1994, there were 34 people on payroll. Now, there’s more than 100 and more positions will need to be filled soon, said Kennedy.

“We’re going to need more technicians, parts people, bodymen and painters,” he said, adding two additional full-time accounting positions will be needed as well.

Terrace Totem Ford has also looked south at Kitimat and in May of this year, purchased the Snow Valley Ford Dealership there.

EDITORIAL

Real estate IT’S BEING called the perfect storm in some quarters – housing prices increasing at a slow but steady rate so as to make sellers happy but not so much as to make buyers uncomfortable or causing them to flee altogether.

Welcome to the Terrace real estate market of 2012, one in which affordability remains a strength in that key area of Canadian life – the single family home of three bedrooms and basement on a lot in which children, pets, toys, lawn furniture and barbecues can more or less co-exist.

For people from the south, the idea of owning a single-family home is an unbelievable luxury when compared to Terrace and other parts of the northwest.

But as much as this is still the land of the single family home, entrepreneurs have focused on other needs as well – the city has a growing stock of housing meant for older people and seniors, offering smaller yards and reduced or no outside maintenance.

As more and more people grow older and choose to stay in Terrace or, indeed, as more and more people move to Terrace who are used to a more urbanized housing landscape, there just might be an increased demand for duplex, strata title, condominium style housing for either purchase, lease or rent.

The response to demands for an increased variety of housing will be one of the determining factors in how this city is viewed by those now wishing to call it home.

ecently in Vancouver a “wine snob” paid $500 to have someone hold spots #10 and #11 at the head of a lengthy lineup waiting to buy bottles of limited edition 2009 vintage Bordeaux, to assure himself he would get at least two bottles.

Previously priced at $3,000 a bottle when the Petrus Bordeaux was released in 2005, hype boosted the price to $3,800 per bottle .

Though the store wasn’t due to open until 9:30 Saturday morning, a queue to buy Bordeaux began building at 2:30 Friday afternoon, led by an international student intent on purchasing a bottle or two for his family in China.

Province wide, 60,000 bottles of Bordeaux went on sale Sept. 28. Within ten minutes of the Vancouver government liquor store opening, 16 brands had sold out.

Our rush to be first in line to sign up for a private school, buy the latest product like Apple’s iPhone5, or secure tickets to the hottest entertainment has birthed a new job listing -- queue holder.

At first glance the job of queue holding looks simple: stay put for a tour of duty ranging from a few hours to overnight or longer, close your ears to pointless chatter from those around you becoming more agitated as the wait drags on, read a book while white sunshine gives you a headache, or play small stakes poker with the guy behind you.

The venue for lineups is usually outdoors, devoid of any protection from rain or snow, often on a tunnel-like city street where winds scud along peppering your face and eyes with grit.

Equipment for the job can be gathered up from odds and ends you already possess: an umbrella to ward off moisture from above, waterproof galoshes, trail mix and dried fruits, a large bottle of drinking water, sunscreen, Visine, and a sleeping bag and tent or tarp if warranted.

You need only be immune to boredom, able to function on little sleep and have the bladder control of a toddler who balks at potty training.

New dump site a bad idea Dear Sir: I was pleased to read that our only political representative for Lakelse Lake, Kitimat-Stikine Regional Director and Area C representative Doug McLeod, defend the over 700 signature citizens’ petition opposing the location of a new landfill at Force-

A

man Ridge.

This proposed landfill by the regional district directly across from Onion Lake, with potential environmental risk to the Lakelse Lake watershed, has alarmed citizens throughout the northwest.

The petition conducted last November

during a one month period was in fact signed by a broad and diverse group of northwest residents, but the regional district dismissed it as simply a disgruntled Lakelse property owner’s complaint.

Nothing could be further from the truth.

I agree with the state-

ments by Mr. McLeod that it is not too late for the public to have their say.

The opposition has not gone away. Only one public open house in May of this year after 14 years of planning; in 2006, when new test wells inferred that groundwater from

Forceman Ridge was headed toward the Clearwater Lakes within the Lakelse Lake watershed, the regional district should have explained to the public why this site originally chosen back in 1998 was still viable.

Dear Sir: Enbridge keeps plying us with media messages, including full page ads that tell us how wonderful life will be during construction of their Northern Gateway pipeline and after completion.

I would like to believe that stuff but what I really need to hear is how Enbridge has reinforced its emphasis on ongoing operations safety.

It’s nice for Enbridge executive Janet Holder to talk about how it is doing everything in its power to build confidence in its project but something’s missing from its fluffy ads.

Let’s see the CEO (on behalf of the board of directors) publish a document telling us how the Enbridge organization will operate the Northern Gateway pipeline and all other Enbridge pipelines commencing this date.

Without a firm statement from the CEO and from the board, who is to be responsible to monitor and report about areas of concern and to make timely and necessary action decisions?

And, who will bear the consequences when another Kalamazoo, Michigan fiasco erupts?

It appears that there was no organization during the Michigan nightmare. Who should bear the blame for screw ups? Who let the organization delay action on the pending difficulties on the Michigan pipeline? If not the board of directors, then who?

So please, Enbridge, tell us how your culture has changed and how your organization will be structured to deal with these vital issues.

Please draw an organizational chart showing positions and responsibilities and spell out how the board will steer this ship – from Edmonton to Kitimat – and through the Douglas Channel. Please.

Show us the beef.

Democrats like health care and nukes both

t 32 pages compared to the eights released by the Republican party, the platform of the Democratic Party of the United States goes into considerably more detail.

President Obama has the advantage of running on his presidential record which, depending on how one spins it, can be interpreted as a list of sizable accomplishments or a dangerous failure.

Headings in the platform reflect a strong concern for the average citizen as opposed to catering to the upper class, as Republican policies have tended to do.

Headings include: Rebuilding Middle Class Security; America Works When Everyone Plays by the Same Rules; Greater Together; and Stronger in the World, Safer and More Secure at Home.

Each of these large sections contains a variety of mutually reinforcing policy proposals—some new, and some extensions of Democratic initiatives over the past four years.

To rebuild middle class security Democrats have focused on putting a floor under the free fall that began in the economy in

2007-8.

This “middle class bargain” includes middle class tax cuts (including to small business), accessible health care, a commitment to maintaining Social Security and Medicare, support for education (including access to higher education and training), proposals to allow Bush’s tax cuts to the wealthy expire (so that billionaires don’t pay lower rates of tax than their employees), gradual movement toward a sustainable energy future, promoting insourcing (bringing manufacturing back to America from overseas), investing in infrastructure, committing to science and research, modernizing labor laws while retaining collective bargaining rights, and promoting trade.

Democrats propose continuing reform of Wall Street’s banking industry, as well as making government regulation simpler and more transparent, and curbing the influence of corporate lobbyists, whose pleadings for special deals often make regulation inefficient and ineffective.

The platform rather naively asserts the belief that Americans share a set of ideals and values

g u e s t c o mm e n t

AL LEHMANN that promote collective efforts whose results are greater than the sum of individual actions.

This sentimental puffery may hold some truth, but the record of opposition from the last Republican-dominated Congress surely casts doubt on this idealism (over thirty votes to end Obama’s health care plan, alone).

Democrats support “a big, compassionate America where everyone who works hard has the chance to get ahead.” They want to strengthen the American com-

munity through streamlining immigration (particularly to reunify families). Proposed family supports include expanded medical leave and reformed Head Start (a program for preschool children).

They also support veterans with “health care, benefits, education, and job opportunities that they have earned.” The plan includes federal hiring of 100,000 Americans with disabilities by 2015.

Democrats make specific plans to continue to protect civil (including women’s) rights, reaffirming support for the Equal Rights Amendment. They support protecting “a woman’s right to choose,” to make decisions about her own pregnancy.

They oppose restrictions some states have put in place on voting rights. Democrats also “know that climate change is one of the biggest threats of this generation;” and their commitment to a clean environment is detailed.

Obama has withdrawn American forces from Iraq, sponsored the removal (murder) of Osama bin Laden and further measures against al-Qaeda, and created plans for the exit of American

forces from Afghanistan by 2014.

Democrats want to reduce nuclear weapon stockpiles, yet wish to remain ready to counter emerging threats against cybersecurity and any threats using biological weapons.

They commit to further work through diplomacy on the climate change issue. They still wish to retain the strongest military in the world.

Finally, they promise to advance, both at home and globally, the universal values of tolerance and equality, and fair, equitable justice.

The wealth of detail compared to the scanter Republican platform demonstrates Democrats’ belief in the role of an activist government that does things for people, a philosophy that contrasts Republican notions of total personal self-reliance.

Recent comments by Republican candidate Mitt Romney, critical of poor or otherwise disadvantaged Americans, further highlight this division. Which platform do you prefer?

TERRACE

Had they sunk too much money into the proposal already to go back and re-examine it? And what kind of pressure was the Ministry of the Environment putting on them to close the Thornhill and Terrace dumps? Is this how we make decisions?

What we know is that the regional district continued to chase the experts and partnered with the BC Ministry of the Environment seeking and gaining the necessary landfill permits.

Any concerns that the regional district-sponsored Lakelse Advisory Planning Commission or the Lakelse Watershed Society had over leachate or the disruption of wildlife patterns, and the loss of habitat, and recreational opportunities, could only be posed as submitted questions in advance of regional district-sponsored workshops.

I was a volunteer with both groups at the time, and can say that we applied the best due diligence we could to the volumes of engineering and wildlife reports. Still the greater public was not engaged.

Let’s be clear, landfills are not popular, no one outside of the regional district lobbies for them. But the regional district is required by the province to oversee their development as part of the regional district’s solid waste management plan.

In the end, the regional district must convince the public to reduce their garbage, and to this effect their plans to enhance recycling with their zero waste initiative is right on track.

However, to have your paper quote Liberal MLA John Rustad, who represented the province at the funding announcement for Terrace’s and Hazelton’s landfills saying that “Having a project come

to life after 20 years of planning must have been a relief to the regional district” says nothing about the reality of a very difficult decision that regional district directors find themselves faced with, on whether to approve the final design and implementation of the Forceman Ridge Landfill.

The regional district’s consulting experts believe that the answers to environmental risk lies in monitoring treated leachate amount and flow, and mitigation of the potential disruption to wildlife.

But what if the public feels very uneasy about this project?

Even if household waste recyclables are taken out, there is still the issue of industrial waste with its toxic heavy metals, and raw sewage being trucked all the way out to Forceman Ridge, 3 km upstream from the Lakelse Wetlands Provincial Park.

I believe that the regional district has a good engineered model for a landfill. But they have chosen the wrong site.

The Lakelse Lake watershed is a gift. It is enjoyed by all residents of the northwest. Its unique warm shallow water ecosystems and salmon streams are important to the entire province.

Why would you want to stick a garbage dump above it?

Is this proposal just another part of the TerraceKitimat Industrial Corridor? I believe we have an obligation to screen out potentially bad projects.

Give Lakelse representative Doug McLeod your support.

The Proposed Coastal GasLink Pipeline Project environmental studies as well as engage with stakeholders and Aboriginal communities near the conceptual route to share information, gather input, and incorporate feedback to inform our project development and design.

The final pipeline route will be determined by considering Aboriginal and community input, environmental and social aspects, archaeological and cultural values, land use, public safety, constructability and economics.

The proposed Coastal GasLink pipeline will offer significant economic benefits and strengthen the economy on a local, provincial and national level:

Coastal GasLink Pipeline Ltd. is proposing to develop an approximately 700 kilometre provincially regulated pipeline to safely deliver natural gas from the Groundbirch area, near Dawson Creek, B.C., to the LNG Canada gas liquefaction facility proposed to be developed

by Shell Canada Ltd. and its partners near Kitimat, B.C. Coastal GasLink Pipeline Ltd. is a wholly-owned subsidiary of TransCanada PipeLines Limited.

Over the coming months, Coastal GasLink will undertake extensive engineering and

Well-paying and high-quality jobs: pipeline construction will create jobs such as equipment operators, welders, mechanics, truck drivers, labourers and more.

Business opportunities: pipeline construction creates significant demand for food and accommodation, hardware, industrial parts, automotive parts and servicing, fuel and more.

Millions of dollars in annual taxes to local governments: when the Coastal GasLink pipeline is operational, approximately $17 million dollars in annual tax payments will help support emergency services, recreation facilities, recycling programs and other local programs vital to sustaining communities.

Investments in local communities: we invest in the areas of wellness, safety and environment in the locations where our employees live and where we operate our assets. Through our engagement with local communities we will identify areas where we can help build stronger, vibrant communities through initiatives such as job training and community partnerships.

Join us for our first Coastal GasLink Pipeline Project Community Information Session Project representatives will be available throughout the session to answer questions and share information. Light refreshments will be provided.

Coal miner import sparks outrage AFTER HEARING the federal government has approved the arrival of hundreds of Chinese nationals to work in B.C.’s burgeoning coal mining industry, two local political figures are crying foul.

Two hundred temporary foreign workers are set to arrive in the coming weeks for jobs at an underground coal mine in northeastern B.C. — and news that up to 2,000 workers could be imported for similar B.C. jobs is being met with strong opposition from Skeena-Bulkley Valley NDP MP Nathan Cullen and Skeena NDP MLA Robin Austin.

While it’s been cited that the rationale behind the worker import is that there’s a lack of skilled workers to take those jobs in Canada, Cullen has called the move a “manufactured crisis” on the part of the federal government.

“We’ve known for years that huge skilled labour shortages, up to 15,000 vacancies in the BC mining industry alone, were looming large on the horizon,” Cullen said in a release last week.

“It’s just ridiculous to be filling potentially thousands of B.C. mining jobs with foreign workers when unemployment remains stubbornly high in many parts of Canada, including here in our riding.”

Recent statistics of B.C.’s northwestern jobless rate show that despite industry activity ramping up here, the number of residents without jobs is high as well.

September’s jobless rate was 10.5 per cent for the northwest,

a slight improvement over August and July.

But it’s the highest in B.C. and more than September 2011’s tally of 8.6 per cent.

“Part of the federal government’s promise to thousands of displaced fishing and forestry workers was that they’d be able to transition to jobs like mining through funded training programs.

“That hasn’t happened and we’re now looking at a terrible example of the Canadian government not working for Canadians.”

Cullen said the federal and B.C. governments must step up regulatory and training efforts to protect jobs for Canadians.

Skeena NDP MLA Robin Austin agrees, adding the importation

of foreign workers is an example of the provincial Liberal government failing northwesterners with its jobs plan.

“We’ve known for years that changing demographics would result in a skilled labour shortage, yet the Liberals have failed to match unemployed workers in the northwest with employers in the north,” said Austin in an Oct.

12 release.

A public sector Prince George economic development agency recently went to Ireland to find skilled workers in addition to the prospect of workers coming from China, said Austin.

“These projects take years to develop,” said Austin of coal mine preparations. “It’s hard to understand why the

Protecting our province from the harmful effects of used oil and antifreeze must be a responsibility we all share, together. So please, next time you look to dispose of used oil or antifreeze materials, find a collection facility near you. Here are three easy ways to do so:

and spinoff jobs too for British Columbians.

The mine set to go into operation first is the Murray River mine in 2015.

That’s an underground coal mine located on the eastern side of the Rocky Mountains about 10 kilometres southwest of Tumbler Ridge, which is already home to several coal mines.

In a continued effort to encourage higher rates of recovery, BCUOMA has built a strong support network across the province. Today, participation includes 209 brand-owner members, 39 collectors and processors, 520+ return collection facilities and more than 4,000 generators. In addition, BCUOMA is reprising its successful ambassador program this summer – with two ambassadors touring the province to educate and raise awareness of the importance of used oil and antifreeze recycling.

Although it’s commonly accepted that oil and antifreeze are not household garbage we can simply throw out, more than one million litres of used oil ends up in BC landfills every year. When you consider that it only takes one drop of oil to contaminate a million drops of water, the problem is clear: there’s just too many drops to count, too many to ignore.

BCUOMA is a non-for-profit organization that encourages British Columbians to responsibly recycle used oil, oil filters, oil containers, used antifreeze and antifreeze containers.

Since the launch of the program in 2003, British Columbians have done an exceptional job of recycling their used oil materials.

Liberal government didn’t act to ensure B.C. workers had the skills to fill these positions.

Almost every day I hear from people in the community that they would love to have the opportunity to fill these jobs, yet the training opportunities aren’t there.”

The four proposed coal mines underway in B.C.’s northeast will create primary jobs

one drop makes a difference.

2011 recovery rates

By recycling your used oil and antifreeze products, you’re playing an important role in preserving our environment for future generations.

As of July 1, 2011 antifreeze and antifreeze containers have been included within the broader recycling program.

From the 10 million litres of automotive antifreeze sold in BC each year, about 45% will be available for collection and recycling. Please check for a collection facility near you.

How to plan your business’s growth

Beat the competition with disciplined expansion

Say you have a successful small business.

You have a few employees, and things are going fine. If you’re like many entrepreneurs, you may never take time to sit down and think about your future growth—how to take your company to the next level in a smart, disciplined way.

But growth is an issue many business owners ignore at their peril. In fact, it might just be one of the most important issues facing them as entrepreneurs. “If you decide not to grow, you may be paving a path to failure,” says Patrick Latour, Senior Vice President, Financing and Consulting at the Business Development Bank of Canada. “If you don’t grow, 250-635-5232 • 1-800-335-8088 your competitors will, and that will put presTop: Kelsi Essay, Kara Allemann, Jessica 4635 Greig Ave. sure on you.”

solutely have a plan,” says Paul Cubbon, who teaches entrepreneurship and innovation at the University of British Columbia’s Sauder School of Business. “Failing to plan is planning to fail.”

Latour agrees. “The plan doesn’t have to be pages and pages long. Sometimes the simpler, the better. But if you don’t have a planned, disciplined approach to growth, you’re probably going to make more mistakes.”

Regaining Control Christopher Moreno is a firm believer in creating a growth plan—and following it with discipline. His event planning and production business, 365 Productions, was growing so quickly in 2011 that he and partner Ben Patience worried it was spinning out of control.

“We were concerned about having too many things on the conveyor belt,” Moreno says. “We said: ‘Eventually the conveyor belt is going to be full, and something is going to fall off the end.”

The duo decided to embark on a strategic planning exercise. The process helped clarify their opportunities, risks and respective roles in the company. The result: a detailed five-year plan that included financial forecasts for three different growth scenarios.

The plan helped them boost sales to an expected $3.2 million this year from $1.8 million in 2010. They have even exceeded their goals, meeting their year-three targets in 18 months. And the plan has helped guide a successful international expansion into Britain and Australia.

Along the way, they made sure to meet regularly with employees to see if the plan needs any tweaking and check how their plan is being implemented by measuring progress against their benchmarks.

“The plan is 10% of the work; the other 90% is actually doing it,” Moreno says. “If you don’t get in the car and drive, the roadmap is useless.”

Ways to Finance Your Growth Talk to your suppliers—Consider asking

suppliers for financing for a purchase, says Peter Brown of financial advisory firm Deloitte.

Many are willing to offer a loan if it means a sale—a win-win for the supplier and you. And if you’re a supplier yourself, think about offering customers financing. It could become a new revenue stream and boost sales at the same time.

Speed up cash flow—Every entrepreneur knows productivity is important. But how many focus on the productivity of their cash?

“Faster cash flow is a big competitive advantage,” Brown says. Consider offering customers creative terms to speed up cash flow, such as a 2% discount to those who pay within 10 days.

“Getting cash quicker can mean more peace of mind and a reduced line of credit,” Brown says.

Focus on quality clients—Some customers are slow to pay because their cash flow isn’t great, and they’re sometimes not worth the effort or risk, Brown says. “Many businesses chase sales—rather than profitable sales,” he says. A trademark of well-managed companies is a focus on high-margin, quality customers, who translate into smoother finances and fewer surprises as you grow. “It’s a real secret to success.”

Accelerating the success of smart businesses

Mentoring is Critical for Entrepreneurs Do you have an idea for a start-up business?

Or a new idea for growth in your existing business? Wondering how to get started?

Whether you’re in a high-tech or traditional sector, a few common tips can help: find mentors, move quickly and develop a winning pitch.

These tips come from the techniques used in business accelerator programs. They’re a new, increasingly popular tool for helping Canadian high-tech entrepreneurs turn promising business ideas into money-making reality.

They’ve also been called entrepreneur boot camps, start-up universities and business hothouses.

But their lessons aren’t restricted to Internet start-ups. They can also point the way to how established businesses in traditional sectors can benefit from a start-up frame of mind.

Here’s how accelerator programs work: Imagine being able to brainstorm your big idea with 120 venture capital investors and business mentors from companies like Amazon and Facebook—all the while being immersed in an intensive 12-week program designed to help you shape your fledgling concepts into a viable business plan.

And it’s capped off with a chance to get start-up funds and pitch prospective customers.

“Accelerator programs are one of the most hands-on, direct ways to support growth for entrepreneurs,” says Senia Rapisarda, Vice President, Strategic Initiatives and Investments at the Business Development Bank of Canada.

“Entrepreneurs get exposed to some of the best practices from around the world and to global thinking from day one.”

Ian Jeffrey is general manager of FounderFuel, one of three Canadian accelerator programs whose graduates are eligible for financing from the $15 million that BDC Venture Capital has earmarked for implementation of its accelerator strategy.

“We create unprecedented opportunities for these entrepreneurs to meet tons of really influential people and build relationships that will serve them forever,” Jeffrey says.

Here are some of the lessons from these pro-

Don’t drive drunk to police station A 21-year-old man received an immediate roadside suspension when he drove to the RCMP detachment drunk on Thanksgiving Monday, October 8.

Police say an RCMP member detected the smell of alcohol emitting from a person while speaking with him at the front counter of the detachment. The person admitted that he had been drinking the night before – it was now noon, said police.

The man exited the detachment and then proceeded to get into the driver’s seat of a green 1997 Jeep Cherokee and attempted to drive away.

Police pulled the vehicle over.

Police say the driver failed a roadside screening device, twice.

ARTHRITIS FREE EDUCATION EVENTS: TERRACE

recipient honoured

UNDERSTANDING ARTHRITIS CONTRIBUTED PHOTO

RICK MEIJER, right, was awarded the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal in Kamloops Sept. 29 by Air Cadet League of Canada president Ken Higgins. Meijer’s “extraordinary dedication and commitment to the aims and objectives of the air cadet program ... has had a tremendous impact on the youth of the BC northern squadrons and the communities in which they live,” read a citation.

Power secrecy criticized ONE group is wondering about the secrecy surrounding a key aspect of the Northwest Transmission Line project to provide power up Hwy37 North.

Rivers Without Borders says it received 76 virtually blank pages when it filed a Freedom of Information request asking for the provincial government’s plan to run a small line to serve two small villages.

The small line, called a distribution line, would start from a sub station at Bob Quinn, where the larger 287kv Northwest Transmission Line is now to end, and run 105km north to take Iskut and Eddontenajon off of diesel powered generators.

Building the small line within a year of the larger Northwest Transmission Line being completed in mid-2014 was a key condition to the province receiving $130 million from a $1 billion federal program intended to finance “green” infrastructure projects.

So it was a surprise for Rivers Without Borders to receive the virtually blank pages as well as blacked out emails when it asked for follow up information, said one of its officials, Tadzio Richards.

“British Columbia was to have submitted its plans for the extension project by June 30, 2012 as a condition of the federal-provincial agreement,” said Richards. “Technically it’s in breach of the agreement.”

“Clearly the plan has been talked about,” he said of the smaller line. “We think people

www.terracestandard.com

should know what it is.”

Although the Northwest Transmission Line was originally packaged as a way of providing “green” power to diesel generator dependent communities, Richards said Rivers Without Borders believes much more is at stake.

“The Northwest Transmission Line makes it possible for mining projects to happen,” he said.

As it is, Calgarybased AltaGas is building the large Forrest Kerr run-of-river project on the Iskut River and will construct a line to the Bob Quinn sub station to feed that power into the provincial grid.

And Imperial Metals wants to build a line south from its Red Chris copper property to Bob Quinn to take power in time for the planned 2014 start of mining there.

The Imperial line plan is also the subject of speculation, said Richards.

It would parallel the route of the planned smaller line to Iskut and Eddontenajon along Hwy37 before branching off to the Red Chris property about 20km east of the highway.

BC Hydro in the past has not commented on the possibility of combining forces with Imperial Metals so that one line could serve a common purpose.

In any event, Imperial does have environmental approval to build a power line from its Red Chris property west to Hwy37 North but not to continue the line south to the planned Bob Quinn sub station.

It did apply in February for environmental approval to continue the line south but the provincial environmental assessment office is still reviewing the request.

The prospect of a project the size of the Northwest Transmission Line, which is now slated to cost $561 million, up from an original $404 million, seems more weighted toward “essentially subsidizing mining infrastructure,” said Richards.

Of that $561 million price tag, AltaGas is putting in $180 million

so its power can get to the provincial grid and the federal government is putting in $130 million, leaving upwards of $251 million to come from ratepayers, he said. Government information indicates the smaller line to Iskut and Eddontenajon could cost as much as $117 million in addition to the $561 million for the larger transmission line.

Richards said Rivers Without Borders has complained about the province’s response to the BC Information and Privacy Commissioner.

Building a strong, safe pipeline Recently, in this space, I mentioned the extra care and attention that have gone into the planning of the Gateway pipeline route. I’d like to tell you now about another largely untold piece of the Gateway pipeline story — and that’s all the work we’ve done on pipeline integrity in order to prevent a spill.

monitoring, intrusion alarms, pipeline pressure, temperature, and vibration level, and several forms of leak detection technology.

Recently, we announced a series of safety enhancements that push Gateway far beyond the stringent standards of the pipeline industry.

Put simply, they make what was already a very safe project even safer.

We’ll also be fitting the pipeline with dual leak-detection analysis systems.

That means two entirely different means of highly accurate data analysis along the route, giving us a computerized model of pipeline flow, with information constantly being captured, updated, and monitored.

To begin with, the overall wall thickness of the oil pipeline will be increased by 19 per cent, and the condensate pipeline by 14 per cent.

For water crossings such as major tributaries to the Fraser, Skeena, and Kitimat Rivers, that number will be bumped up by another 10 to 20 per cent. During the construction phase, we’ll ensure serious quality control during fabrication, ultrasonic or radiographic testing of every weld, hydrotesting and extra care in the backfill process.

All of our remote pump stations along the route will be staffed 24/7.

That means an extra level of security — with on-site personnel, in addition to remote control-centre operators, keeping tabs on video security

We’ll be making more in-line inspection surveys across the entire system — at a minimum of 50 per cent above current standards — plus full biweekly air patrols.

As a British Columbian, I know how seriously you value this strikingly beautiful province. I do too — and I have every confidence that Gateway’s pipeline integrity measures will keep it that way.

Gov’t acknowledges need for job training THE PROVINCE needs to do more to provide job skills for northwestern residents, acknowledges jobs minister Pat Bell.

He made the comment following the release of September jobless figures for the northwest which show the rate, while slightly improved from August’s 11.8 per cent and July’s 12.2 per cent remains in the double digits at 10.5 per cent.

Bell’s been promising for several months to get his officials to find out why, in the face of an improving regional economy, the jobless rate remains not only high, but the highest in the province.

He once suspected there might be anomalies or oddities in the way the jobless numbers, which are based on interviews conducted by Statistics Canada, are represented, noting the jobless percentage is

based on a small sample size being taken in the region.

“While it is a big [jobless] number, we have to be a little cautious,” said Bell.

Jobless stats elsewhere are derived from places where the population is at least 50,000, he said. But he drew the line at sending in a team of people to travel the northwest to obtain a more reliable sample size.

Still, Bell said the regional jobless stats do provide indications of economic activity.

And he did key on a comparison which indicated there were 6,400 fewer people working in the region from September 2011 to September 2012.

“We need to do a better job,” Bell said of job training.

Elsewhere in B.C., Bell said he was satisfied with job creation and job activity, noting

there was an increase in agriculture workers, hospitality industry workers and those employed in the field of international students.

“We had another reasonably good month,” said Bell of September.

The provincial jobless rate was 6.8 per cent in September, the same percentage as in August. Across the regions, the jobless rate for September was 5.9 per cent on Vancouver Island, 7.1 per cent on the Lower Mainland, 5.2 per cent in the Thompson-Okanagan, 8.8 per cent in the Kootenays, 8.2 per cent in the Cariboo and 4.4 per cent in the northeast.

The figures released each month are not those of people collecting Employment Insurance. They’re the product of Statistics Canada employees interviewing people over the age of 15 and those considering themselves part of

Approximately $5 million of that is to come to northern postsecondary school institutions but how much will end up at Northwest Community College isn’t known.

Monthly jobless figures so far this year place the rate in the northwest in the 12 per cent range, nearly double the provincial average.

That’s despite large industrial projects now already underway in the region and more being planned.

pilot program in November.

The program, called Job Match, was heavily criticized when first proposed in the spring as being an attempt by the province to place southern welfare recipients in northern jobs.

Called Welfare Air by its detractors, the provincial NDP said provincial programs should first concentrate on training northern residents for northern jobs.

The pilot program’s emphasis is on placing northern residents first in northern jobs.

“Only in the event that a job opening cannot be filled by an individual in northern B.C. would relocation from another part of the province be considered,” the ministry continued.

“The level of support that will be provided to an individual relocating to fill a job opening will be negotiated on a caseby-case basis. One of the objectives of this pilot initiative is to determine what people need, and what a reasonable level of support to provide is.”

Two weeks ago, the provincial government announced it would spend $17 million on

the workforce are people with a job or who are looking for work.

People withdraw from the workforce for any number of reasons, not all of which are associated with having a job or not.

Across the country, employment increased for the second consecutive month in September, up 52,000, mainly in full-time work. The unemployment rate rose 0.1 percentage points to 7.4 per cent as more people sought work.

Program skips Terrace A PROVINCIAL program to take people off of welfare and place them in northern construction jobs has skipped Terrace.

Instead it’s focussing on Kitimat and Prince Rupert in the northwest and on Dawson Creek, Fort Nelson and Fort St. John in the northeast.

The plan, described as a pilot one for now, is to find and train 250 people overall with the expectation that at least 60 per cent of the recruits be on social assistance.

The BC Construction Association, which represents approximately 2,000 companies, has been hired to do the training thanks to a $2.92 million budget, explained an email received from the provincial jobs ministry’s communications office.

There was no direct reason provided as to why Terrace was not included on the pilot list.

“Depending on the success of the pilot, it is hoped this initiative can be expanded to other communities in need starting sometime in the new year,” the email added.

2012 INTERNATIONAL YEAR OF CO-OPERATIVES

The United Nations has declared 2012 as The International Year of Cooperatives, the UN resolution recognizes the diversity of the co-operative movement around the world and urges governments to take measures aimed at creating a supportive environment for the development of co-operatives.

12 reasons why co-operative enterprises build a better world 1. Co-operatives are DEMOCRATIC organizations owned and controlled by their members on the basis of one member, one vote.

2. Co-operatives are VALUES-DRIVEN enterprises that are guided by seven internationally-recognized principles.

3. Co-operatives have SOCIAL as well as ECONOMIC objectives and put PEOPLE before profits.

4. Co-operatives are more DURABLE than other types of businesses; research has shown that new co-ops are more likely to remain in business than other new enterprises and are more resilient in economic downturns.

5. Co-operatives are part of a dynamic GLOBAL MOVEMENT with more than a billion individual members around the world.

6. Co-operatives are ROOTED IN

THEIR COMMUNITIES; the jobs and wealth they create remain in the communities in which they are located.

7. Co-operatives EMPOWER people to take control of their own economic lives and futures.

8. Co-operatives respect the ENVIRONMENT and are recognized as leaders in environmental sustainability.

9. Co-operatives are the businesses of choice for MILLIONS OF CANADIANS. 10. Co-operatives can be found EVERYWHERE: in small villages and big cities; in every region of Canada and most of the world’s countries.

They exist in virtually every sector of the economy, from retail and financial services to agriculture, housing and health care.

11. Co-operatives CO-OPERATE with each other, working together at the local, provincial national and international levels. Canadian co-operatives are actively involved in assisting co-operative partners in developing countries.

12. By proclaiming 2012 the INTERNATIONAL YEAR OF CO-OPERATIVES, the United Nations has recognized the important role co-ops play in the social and economic development of communities worldwide.

Tax breaks approved While more properties in Terrace are also exempt, places of worship, hospitals, seniors homes and the main airport terminal and its runway are exempt automatically at a level higher than the city.

It was discussed in the meeting, however, why some non-profits are exempt and why some aren’t.

Councillor Stacey Tyers asked why Terrace’s Legion wasn’t added this year.

She said legion president Les Sinnott was working on the legion application before he passed away suddenly in a car crash earlier this year.

All the money goes back into the community as a non-profit, she added.

The legion does have a bar and does rent out its facility even though it’s a non-profit, said Bowles.

About 50 per cent of municipalities let their legions be tax exempt, he said.

Council to host gambling forum Chances also helps the city budget­ during this fiscal year’s first quarter, $154,767 is already banked for transfer. “We’re well on our way to exceeding last year’s annual amount,” said Walker.

And while the local benefit of such revenues was acknowledged by council, it was also noted that gambling comes with a social cost, too.

“They really are quite a problem for a number of people,” said councillor Lynne Christiansen. “I think we need to give it some thought.”

Walker said Chances acknowledges this and that programs are in place to manage gambling addiction and problems. “We know the importance of responding to that,” said Walker, pointing to Game Sense Advisors which are interactive kiosks on location about making smart gambling choices.

A 24-hour gambling help line also exists from which 19 calls were made from the Terrace area between April 2011 until the end of December 2011.

People can also have themselves voluntarily banned from a gambling outlet and 38 people here signed up during that same time period.

Councillor James Cordeiro first suggested asking the public before taking what could be a social gamble.

“I would agree with Cordeiro,”

added councillor Bruce Bidgood.

While council is not required to ask the public about allowing the change, councillors Stacey Tyers and Christiansen were first to agree with the forum.

Councillor Brian Downie was hesitant. “An increase of 25 (seats) is not a substantive change,” he said, adding council could open itself to a massive debate, which is want happened when slot machines were first allowed.

“If we go to public input, I think we should frame that question fairly carefully. That’s my concern ... we need to be very clear what the conceptions are.”

“I think that the citizens of Terrace have spoken pretty strongly when you look at the number of seats that are used,” said councillor Marylin Davies.

“I think we’re just trying to delay this. In issues of high contentiousness ... I don’t think we can rely solely on the fact that the seats are used,” responded Bidgood.

Mayor Dave Pernarowski added council would also ask the opinion of the RCMP. By the meeting’s end, council unanimously agreed to host a public forum. A date and venue has yet to be set.

Arsonists target Cassie Hall school

By Anna Killen

A DELIBERATELY set fire and other acts of vandalism have caused more than $80,000 worth of damage at Cassie Hall Elementary so far this year, prompting the Coast Mountains school district to implement extra security measures across the district.

“It’s the most [damage] I’ve seen here,” said Coast Mountains school board chair Art Erasmus of the Aug. 9 arson attack. “And the fact that it’s hit that particular school twice is very unfortunate – we don’t like it.”

In that fire, the arsonist broke one of the windows at the back of the school and threw a match or lighter inside the building into what was a multi-purpose room, said Terrace fire chief John Klie.

“There was no molotov cocktail or anything like that,” he said.

The flame lit a curtain on fire, which then melted. The sprinkler system was activated, containing the fire before the firefighters arrived.

But not before significant damage was done. Smoke and water damage was a big factor, with some of the tiles lifting off the floor.

Damages costs include cleaning, replacement of glazing, flooring, drywall and subfloors, moving costs – students had to be temporarily relocated – as well as replacement costs for destroyed furniture and equipment.

Another $2,000 $2,500 worth of damage

occurred almost two months later, in a fire that started in the tube portion of the school’s new play structure.

This fire was started by a person or persons lighting a piece of clothing on fire and leaving it in the tube, which then melted away.

“It’s vandalism at it’s worst,” said Klie. “Random, not planned...no rhyme or reason.”

Incidents like this are tough to control, said Klie, noting that the perpetrator can be in and out of the scene in a matter of minutes.

It’s not unusual for firefighters to respond to “nuisance” calls involving small grass fires on school fields, but acts like the two big fires at Cassie Hall are abnormal.

He stresses that he does not yet believe this is part of a trend, rather a “blip.”

“The entire community suffers from senseless acts of vandalism like this,” added RCMP Constable Angela Rabut. “The citizens of Terrace have a social responsibility to hold these arsonists accountable for what they did.”

“Our district has been rather fortunate over the past several years,” said Coast Mountains secretarytreasurer Alanna Cameron.

“Incidents of vandalism or arson similar to the one at Cassie Hall have been fairly rare.”

The unusually high amount of vandalism this year has prompted the board to implement extra security measures just in case. Anti-loitering devices are installed

Make a difference in a young person’s life Smithers Community Services Association is seeking to add supportive families to our CORR HOMES PROGRAM About our program…

CORR Homes is a specialized foster care program for young offenders as an alternative to incarceration and operates in communities throughout Northern BC. CORR Homes offer a caring, stable home environment where youth reside for up to 6 months. CORR Home families are financially compensated to provide this service. Our program provides the CORR Home families with access to training, 24-hour on-call support, and an experienced Youth Resource Worker who will work directly with families and the youth who reside with them.

Who we are looking for…

Interested people who have had experience working with and supporting youth at work or socially (ie; coaching, mentoring, big brothers/sisters etc.) or who have raised their own children through their teen years.

For more information about how to become a CORR Home, please visit our website www.scsa.ca/programs/corr-homes or contact Jo-Anne Nugent at (250) 847-9515 or toll free at 1-888-355-6222.

across the district and “we have taken steps to protect our facilities and educational dollars – however there are some behaviours that we are simply unable to control,” said Cameron.

Anti-loitering devices include what are called “mosquitos” – devices that emit a directed, high-pitched frequency, or, very annoying noise, to deter people from hanging around the area.

The devices can be programmed so that only people under 25 can hear the sound.

Every school district in B.C. has the devices, according to Michael Gibson, president of MovingSound technologies, the company who owns the North American distribution rights to the devices, which cost around $1,100 each.

The school board will have to pay a deductible of approximately $10,000 for the Aug. 9 fire, money that will come out of a surplus account.

In both instances, authorities were alerted to the fires in part because of the school’s neighbours, who fire chief Klie says have been on

high-alert.

Police are still investigating the cause of the Aug. 9 fire, said Rabut.

Police will be recommending charges of arson, under Section 434 of the criminal code, be forwarded against two of three young people arrested the night of the playground fire.

The police information is now before provincial Crown counsel lawyers who will make the final decision.

The 14-year-old and the 19-year-old already have court dates set in anticipation that charges will be laid.

An 11-year-old also arrested that night was released and no further action on the part of the police is anticipated. A person has to be at least 12-years-old for charges to be considered.

If the public has any information to assist in these investigations call the Terrace RCMP at 250-638-7400. Information can also be left anonymously thru Crime Stoppers by telephone at 1-800222-TIPS, online at www.terracecrimestoppers.ca or by texting “TERRACE plus your message” to 274637 (CRIMES).

Nisga’a/RCMP artwork unveiled AN UNVEILING ceremony Oct. 12 at the Lisims/Nass Valley RCMP detachment in New Aiyansh featured artwork symbolizing the growth of the relationship between the police force and the Nisga’a Nation.

“It was a great event,” said Lisims/ Nass Valley detachment commanding officer Sergeant Donovan Tait of the introduction of the artwork created by Brad Percival.

The artwork has been described as a “unique fusion of the RCMP crest incorporating our Nisga’a symbols based on the principle of Sayt-K’ilim-Goot (Working Together in Unity).”

In a briefing given to Nisga’a Lisims Government officials last month, Tait spoke of the artwork’s practical and symbolic importance.

“Demystifying our building, our officers and our intentions in the work that we do is a crucial step towards a fully integrated police service for the Nation,” said Tait.

“We are your partners, your neighbours and your friends. By culturally formalizing our relationship publicly for all to see, it is hoped that this modest event will demonstrate the RCMP’s commitment to the Nisga’a Nation in many capacities.

“This artwork will act as a reminder to all who visit and work in our building of our willingness to communicate and cooperate as we— RCMP and Nisga’a Nation — move forward together in unity,” Tait added in his explanation to Lisims government officials.

Although tankers have been safely navigating the north coast and its channels for decades, marine safety remains a top priority for British Columbians. We have been planning the Northern Gateway Project for over a decade, with a particular focus on protecting the environment. We have added specific safety requirements to our marine operations plan to help make the waters of the north coast safer not just for tankers serving the project, but for all marine vessels.

Tankers will reduce speeds in the channels…

Qualified BC Coast Pilots will board and guide all tankers… To prevent spills, all tankers serving the project will be modern and double-hulled, and will be vetted by independent, third party agencies before entering Canadian waters.

Once strict safety and environmental standards are met, they will be guided through the Douglas and Principe Channels by qualified BC Coast Pilots.

Tankers travel slowly, but to make sure that marine species and their habitats are respected, tankers will be required to reduce speed as they pass through certain sections of the channels. Even their escort tugboats will have quieter engines to reduce underwater noise.

Powerful tugboats will escort tankers…

Additional radar and navigational aids will improve safety for all vessels…

Tugboats have been shown to significantly reduce tanker incidents worldwide. Powerful tugboats that have been specially commissioned for Northern Gateway will assist in the safe arrival and departure of tankers.

All tankers will be attended by a close escort tug. In the channels, laden tankers will have two tugs–one tethered at all times. These tugboats will have emergency response equipment on board and will be capable of assisting any marine vessel.

Ad #EN004-09/12E

For increased safety and sure guidance, additional radar systems and navigational aids, such as beacons, buoys and lights, will be installed throughout the routes. This will not only improve safety for tankers, but for all marine traffic on the north coast.

Discover more about our rigorous marine safety plan and join the conversation at marine.northerngateway.ca.

It’s more than a pipeline.

It’s a path to delivering energy safely.

Girls learn how to protect themselves

ABOUT A dozen girls learned personal safety tips from an RCMP officer at Ksan House Society’s workshop to celebrate the first United Nations’ International Day of the Girl Oct. 11.

That included promising they’d never lose a fight if someone attacked them, but didn’t include fighting with friends or siblings.

Terrace RCMP community policing officer Const. Angela Rabut told the girls that when police officers are in training, they are told never to lose a fight.

If an officer loses a fight and dies, then that officer can’t help the public anymore, she said.

She talked about the sensitive parts of the body and how to use that information to get away from an attacker, then the girls practised on each other.

Although some girls thought that hitting an attacker in the abdomen would stop the attack, that may not be true as some men have tight abdominal muscles, said Rabut. Aim for sensitive areas of the body such as the eyes, nose, throat, groin, shins and stomping on a person’s foot.

Call police if you need help; don’t think it’s no big deal, she said.

The workshop also included confidence MARGARET SPEIRS PHOTO and self-esteem buildebony francis gets some personal safety tips from ing exercises, fun stuff Terrace RCMP community policing officer Const. Ange- and dinner at Ksan la Rabut at a Ksan Society workshop Oct. 11.

tony bryan is now cancer-free after getting assistance from Helping Hands of the Northwest for his trip to Vancouver for treatment.

Man praises those who helped him with medical expenses

A MAN who needed to travel down south for cancer treatment but couldn’t afford it is praising a local group for helping him out.

Tony Bryan, who was diagnosed with lung cancer this past April, travelled to Vancouver twice for treatment and had to go a third time for surgery but couldn’t afford it.

He got in touch with Ron and Mavis Ramsey, who started Helping Hands of the Northwest, which raises money for people who need it to pay for their prescriptions, and they helped make that third trip possible.

“I got surgery and 15 per cent of my lung was taken out and it went really well,” said Bryan.

In a letter, he said “saying thank you to these selfless volunteers hardly seems enough.

“They would never accept accolades, saying any number of people volunteer their time and efforts and people who donate deserve the thanks.

“To all of you a heartfelt thanks.”

Helping Hands, started in January 2009

by Ron and Mavis Ramsey, collects bottles and cans and scrap metal for recycling and works with pharmacists to have the money go toward paying for prescriptions for seniors and others who can’t afford it.

Since it began, Helping Hands has raised more than $12,000 to help people.

Since it’s started helping out with airfare too, three or four people have been able to get the medical help they need, says Mavis.

Hawkair and Uniglobe Travel have got on board; Mavis says Hawkair supplies the flights, Uniglobe provides the air miles that are donated, and Helping Hands pays the taxes for the flight.

“We’ve tripled in size since we started three years ago,” says Mavis. “A lot of people and businesses are onboard.”

And Bryan, who is on pain medication, is cancer free now.

He doesn’t need chemotherapy or radiation; he just has to get an x-ray done every six months.

‘Friends’ get together to support library A NEW group will be advocating for, and supporting, the local library.

The Friends of the Terrace Public Library is just in its infancy and is getting going with a couple of information sessions.

“We’ve recognized for a few years now that we could really use some volunteer help to help with everything from public relations to fundraising,” said Patti Chapman, who’s the library board chair, adding there’s never enough people and never enough hours to do everything.

Friends of the Library is a Canada-wide

organization and can help the local group get started if needed, says Chapman.

“It’s not a spinoff of the [library] board or anything like that, but friends groups usually exist to support the libraries.”

One of the main ideas is to increase the public awareness of the library and what it offers, to help advocate when it needs a program or is having problems maintaining services, she says.

The group will probably fundraise and that could be for specific things the library might have on its wish list, such as reading

room furniture or special children’s books, says Chapman.

At the first information meeting Oct. 4, about a dozen people signed up, which is a really nice core group, she says.

“A few others indicated they wanted to sign up but couldn’t come,” says Chapman.

“There’s always room for volunteers to join because people participate at different levels and some are only are interested in doing specific types of things.”

The group could include young people.

One person at the informational meeting

knew of a teen interested in joining.

“They can help us aim things in that direction,” says Chapman.

The next information session is Nov. 1 at 7 p.m. And it will be to get set up for the first formal meeting in January, she says.

“We’re excited for it,” says Chapman.

“The sky’s the limit,” she says about what the group can do.

“They can do anything from hosting an author reading, maybe attending with a booth in the farmers market or at club signup. Whatever they can think of.”

It’s time to fill a shoebox EVEN THOUGH Christmas is still a ways off, it’s time to think about it and giving to others.

To that end, the Operation Christmas Child shoeboxes have arrived and the campaign is on.

Time again to pack a shoebox filled with special gifts for a child in another part of the world who is experiencing war, famine, extreme poverty, or natural disasters.

Every year Operation Christmas Child, a project of Samaritan’s Purse, collects and

sends shoeboxes all over the world.

Here in Terrace through the generosity of individuals, churches, schools and businesses, we sent out 900 shoeboxes. Last year, out of the 8.6 million boxes collected worldwide, Canada gave 672,274 of them.

Packing a box is so simple but will have such a lasting impact on the child who receives it.

All you need to do is pick up a box and decide whether the gifts inside will be for a boy or girl and what age

category: 2-4, 5-9, or 10-14.

Then fill it with items you think a child would enjoy or need.

Suggested items include school supplies, hygiene items and toys.

Do not include liquids or breakables, food items or any toys that may scare a child, such as war-related toys.

Boxes can be picked up at the dollar store in Terrace, Raine Mountain Hardware in Stewart or your local church.

When you have it filled, return it to the

Dollar Store or the Terrace Alliance Church.

In Stewart, they are to be taken to Seaport Limousine. The deadline for returning boxes is November 19.

Samaritan’s Purse is hoping to send out 100 million shoeboxes this year. We can do our part to help them reach this goal.

Thank you to those businesses who help in making a difference in the lives of children and families across the world. For more information about packing a box, go to samaritanspurse.ca.

SPORTS TERRACE STANDARD

ANNA KILLEN

Golden boy sweeps in Olympic gold medalist Marc Kennedy came to town last Friday to speak to Terrace students and partake in a clinic and meet and greet at the Terrace Curling Club.

Kennedy, a small town boy from Alberta, won gold as part of Canada’s men’s curling team at the 2010 Winter Olympic Games in Vancouver.

Students from Skeena and Cal packed the R.E.M. Lee Theatre for the assembly, in which Kennedy spoke about his journey from a nervous, shy kid in small town Alberta (a place he still calls home with his wife and two daughters) to the life of an Olympic gold medalist. He even let the kids pass around and hold the gold medal – something very few athletes are willing to do, but Kennedy believes it’s important because it can really help inspire young people.

“Not many people get to see one in their lifetime,” he said.

“It’s the heaviest Olympic medal ever made,” he said, while passing along the medal to students with wide eyes.

“Please don’t drop it, and ideally, don’t steal it,” he joked.

Kennedy’s been curling since he was six-years-old, and curling competitively since he was about 12. As he rose through the ranks, the pressure to perform well was always there – and the moment he won gold was a big sigh of relief.

“Curling in Canada is a big deal,” he said. “We’re expected to win.” He later noted that the level of competition for curlers in Canada is so high, it doesn’t necessarily matter which of the eight teams in the qualifying round wins – they will still be ranked to take gold at the Olympics.

In his presentation, Kennedy stressed the points that kids should take care of themselves mentally and physically, work hard, respect the people around them, and dream big without worrying too much what others think.

“I’m from a big hockey town and took a lot of heat from my friends for playing a ‘dorky’ sport,” he said. “Imagine what would have happened if I’d listened to them?”

The Terrace Curling Club is hoping to get more junior curlers involved in the sport, which Kennedy says he loved right from the beginning. They are offering two free Monday night sessions for teens 13 - 18 so they can try it out and join the league if they enjoy it.

Kennedy says curling is a great option for kids looking to try a sport – and one they may not have considered.

“You can play your whole life, it’s inexpensive – you can play a whole year for under $100 – and it’s a lot easier to meet people. It’s a great team sport,” he said.

Gym to be used

Some of the sting of Thornhill Jr. Secondary School’s closure last year is set to be soothed as sports groups who have used the gym in the past will be able to continue using it this fall.

An agreement between the school board, community user groups, and the city was quietly reached last month on the use of the Thornhill Jr. gym.

When the school closed at the end of last school year, groups were left wondering if they’d be able to continue using the gym, which some of them call the best facility in the area.

While the school board understood the gym was a benefit for the community and hoped a solution could be found, their stance from the get-go was that they were not willing to incur any extra costs to keep the gym open.

This meant it was up to user groups and the city to hash out a solution – which they did, with no extra cost to the school board.

“The district will continue to cover any costs we would have incurred if the building remained vacant (minimal heating and ventilation),” said Alanna Cameron, secretary-treasurer at the Coast Mountains school board. “The City of Terrace will cover anything over/above.”

User groups like the Terrace Women’s Soccer Association and the Badminton club have said the fees for the year will rise slightly.

The facility’s use is on a trial basis until Dec. 31 to start. “We have a threemonth licence agreement with the City of Terrace – Parks and Rec Department,” said Cameron.

Only a portion of the school, including the gymnasium, will be open and using electricity, she said.

“The rest will remain ‘dark’,” she said.

Peewee teams descending on Terrace

Terrace’s Peewee division is hosting the second annual Cliff Sharples memorial tournament this weekend.

The second annual Cliff Sharples memorial tournament, in honour of a man known in Terrace for his strong commitment to hockey and the community, will be held this weekend here in Terrace.

It’s the largest peewee rep tournament that Terrace has hosted.

Seven teams are coming from out of town – Kitimat, Rupert, Smithers, Vanderhoof, Prince George, Dawson Creek and Fort St. John – and with the high amount of workers in town staying in hotels, some teams almost didn’t have a place to stay, said Kasey Lewis, tournament organizer.

Luckily, she gave the vis-

iting teams plenty of notice so they were able to squeeze into rooms.

“I knew the hotel situation was going to be scarce,” she said. And with at least 20 people per team, group meals will also be an issue as restaurants are packed.

But at least they’ll be fed on Friday during the group banquet dinner that kicks off the tournament. Games are on Friday, Saturday and Sunday and Sharples’ family will be giving a ceremonial puck drop.

Terrace’s peewees are a fresh crop this year with only a handful of returning players­on the team – but that doesn’t mean they won’t put up a tough fight.

Pool presentation full of promise A wall made of glass, a “wave ride for thrill seekers,” and an exercise area that looks over the pool below – these are just some of the ideas for the aquatic centre’s future according to the pool review presented to the City of Terrace at the beginning of the month.

The 86-page report was commissioned by the city and prepared by Bruce Carscadden Architects Inc., the same folks who headed up the Sportsplex, and presented to council on Oct. 1.

In it, a number of the aquatic centre’s issues are laid out in the hopes that the city can plan for and manage the future of the almost 40-year-old building.

“Last year, the city decided that the pool needed a review and assessment of its existing structural, mechanical, electrical systems as well as a look at its current use of space,” said Carmen Didier, director of leisure services.

“The purpose of this was to come up with a plan that would assist us in better managing the increasing repair and maintenance costs on this old facility.”

The centre was first constructed in 1974, with additions built in 1987 and renovations to the lobby completed in 1988.

The last major work done to the facility was in 2009/2010 when the east wall and various boiler and air handling systems were replaced.

“We know there are other issues with the pool that we will need to address in the very near future,” said Didier. “The city is not in a position to build a new facility so we are looking at repairing and enhancing the facility we have.”

This includes a number of “possible renovations” – things that will extend the life of the facility and serve the community well into the future, she said.

An expansion to the existing pool site is also a possibility, according to the report.

The aquatic centre reopened at the beginning of the month following its annual month-long closure for maintenance.

During this year’s closure, architects and consultants examined the facility with the help of aquatic centre and city staff to check

here had been some heavy dews, but not frost yet. Only the edges of some of a few leaves had turned.

If it wasn’t for them, and the pinks in the river, you wouldn’t have guessed that September had just about run its course.

Jim and I were using the tailgate of my truck to get outfitted for a day on the river when a large white pickup appeared on the Lakelse River’s Power Line Road. The driver rolled up, stopped in front of us, powered his window down. The head and shoulders of a corpulent man with a ruddy complexion appeared where the window had been.

Getting geared up? he asked, in a manner more of a observation than a question.

Yeah, going fishing, said Jim. Well, I’m going to see if I can get a black bear with my bow, said the big man in the big white truck in a manner that suggested his ability to do this was something we should envy.

I looked at my jet black dog then downstream to the sandy beach beneath the transmission line where some school aged kids were trying to catch a fish and felt a momentary sick feeling. Neither Jim nor I said anything in reply. The window powered up and the big hunter bounced off down the road.

If he was trying to impress someone, said Jim, he told the wrong guys.

One element of the pool master plan is potentially replacing this concrete wall with high-performance glass. “It’s something we’ve always talked about,” said aquatic centre manager Mike Carlyle. for structural, mechanical, and engineering issues and assess ways in which the space could be improved – and estimate how much each project would cost.

“In particular, concerns with erosion, tile lift, pool heat and water treatment systems, and deterioration of the west wall were explored,” states the report.

“As well as community-identified programming considerations, like the need for a family change room, a more accessible facility with more amenities, and an improved fitness centre.”

“We knew what to expect with a lot of the things,” said aquatic centre manager Mike Carlyle, noting that there were no big surprises within the report. “But getting that second, third set of eyes was really helpful.

There were some things we hadn’t necessarily thought of.”

Aquatic centre staff have been asking for input from their visitors via surveys and many of these ideas, like a family change room, were present in the report.

“The patrons have been really helpful, this is their community pool,” he said.

But what was presented in the report is not set in stone. The next step is a meeting with council to decide how to proceed.

The presentation and report will help the aquatic centre with the grant process in the future, he said.

The total estimated cost, if all of the projects were to go through, is $5.33 million.

fied as urgent and others planning for the long-term future.

For example, patrons have been asking for a water slide or wave pool – but this is one idea in the report that is more of a longterm goal, said Carlyle.

There are other issues, classified in the report as “Life and Safety”, that need to be completed as quickly as possible “in order to correct safety hazards and life safety code violations.”

These are things like electrical improvements and replacing the gutter in the lap pool.

This review helps us set out a time frame for all of that, said Carlyle.

“We’ve had ideas for a very long time,” he said. “Now we’ve got a very solid plan.” wounded. Modern cross bows are very effective weapons, but, all things being equal, the best of them is not nearly as effective a killing machine as a rifle, and compound bows are less effective still.

The wildlife managers allow an extended season to bow hunters because it is more difficult to kill animals with bows, therefore fewer animals will be killed. As the degree of difficulty increases, doesn’t it follow that the chances of wounding an animal does too? Since coho season brings more anglers to every part of the Lakelse River, does it make sense to risk the possibility of having a wounded black bear on the loose?

Grizzly bear hunts are permitted in the Lakelse watershed too. This presents an even greater potential problem. A wounded grizzly is more likely than a wounded black, and, shockingly, grizzly hunters (who are invariably trophy hunters) are not required to pack the bear meat out of the bush. A pile of guts and meat left in Lakelse Valley will draw another bear, probably another grizzly like a magnet, and anyone with even a passing knowledge of grizzlies knows that a bear on a kill is as lethal as a sow grizzly protecting cubs.

No anglers or hikers or mushroom pickers should be subjected to such a risk. It’s time to close the chapter on bear hunting in the Lakelse Watershed.
