Broader revenue approach urged By Josh Massey TERRACE WON’T get everything it wants from the province to cope with an expected economic boom, says a provincial cabinet minister who toured the area last week. And, says energy and mines minister Bill Bennett, the city might be better off developing a regional approach with other local governments when it comes to a piece of the revenue pie that could come from industrial projects such as liquefied natural gas (LNG) plants and mines. “The important issue for now is having a regional voice and not presenting government with too many choices. Do we satisfy what Terrace wants? Do we satisfy what Prince Rupert wants? Or do we satisfy what Kitimat wants? We need the northwest to really think about what we think is about to happen,” said Bennett. Bennett spoke to city council members Aug. 7 and was accompanied at the meeting by aboriginal relations and reconciliation minister John Rustad and com-

munity, sport and cultural development minister Carolee Oakes. The three cabinet ministers were on a northwest visit that included meetings with First Nations and municipalities, as well as speeches at public functions including a Terrace Chamber of Commerce dinner hosted by the Skeena Valley Golf and Country Club on August 6. Bennett repeatedly said that forming a regional alliance of some sort could help the northwest’s chances of forging an effective revenue sharing agreement with the province for infrastructure and community upgrades. He said that LNG and other companies would invest directly in the communities once the contracts are signed and construction is underway on the proposed industrial projects. “You should consider some sort of regional organization to figure out what’s most important and where you see yourselves 20 years from now,” said Bennett, adding that he feels Terrace needs to do a better job of priori-

tizing its needs. According to Bennett, the amount of money allotted to specific municipalities would hinge on where tax-paying LNG facilities get built. For this reason the details of a revenue sharing agreement with the government is hard to forge before the projects are given the go-ahead by the provincial reviews and corporate boards. “If you have three LNG plants in Kitimat, a lot of that pressure will be in Kitimat,” said Bennett, adding that on the other hand it could turn out that Prince Rupert will have the bulk of the LNG processing facilities, in which case it would need a greater share of the revenue. Bennett was presented with a city council shopping list which included city councillor Marylin Davies saying there’s a need for more doctors and more space at Mills Memorial Hospital and councillor Lynne Christiansen saying a new museum is a necessity.

Nass sockeye a surprise By Anna Killen

■■ Big as life george mckay prepares to work on this carving that he’s been doing for about one month’s time on and off at the George Little House Aug. 10. He’s been carving for 45 years.

It may be a dismal year for sockeye in the Skeena River, but the Nass River sockeye returned in higher levels than first predicted, meaning the Nisga’a were able to harvest 25,000 more sockeye than anticipated. And a strong Nass sockeye run early in the season which saw in-season estimates skyrocket meant that those who manage the Nass fishery were able to open it up to commercial fishermen who were unable to fish Skeena sockeye. “It was stable, and it shows positive signs for the future with some of the biological data that’s

been collected.” said Richard Alexander, Nisga’a Fisheries Stock Assessment Management Biologist, of the Nass return. “We’ve basically made the conservation goals. We were able to detect that the run was coming in stronger than forecast, and that provided more commercial opportunities – both for the commercial fishing gill net and seine fleet, as well as the Nisga’a economic fishery.” The Nisga’s Lisims Government’s fisheries and wildlife department has managed the Nass watershed since 1992, in partnership with provincial and federal government, and the majority of the extensive program’s budget

comes from the Lisims Fisheries Conservation Trust Fund, established in 2000 as part of the Nisga’a Final Agreement. What typically happens is that the season starts on the Nass, and then when the Skeena opens the fleet splits – but that wasn’t the case that year due to the low sockeye numbers on the Skeena. But the strong, early Nass run meant that the Nass was able to handle more pressure than it typically would, while still being conscious of conservation goals. The Nass provided 16 days of commercial fishing for gill nets, and 18 days of commercial seine fisheries.

this Ford truck crossed the centre line on Hwy 16 near Copper River, smashed into a Chevy Silverado and its fifth wheel, went off the road and rolled twice Aug. 3.

Weekend crashes kills one THE BC Day long weekend saw seven crashes locally, killing one man and injuring several others. On Aug. 2, police were called about an erratic driver passing on the right, and shortly after, that same Ford truck went off Hwy 16 near the fourway stop after rear-ending a Hyundai, forcing it into a light standard. Both drivers suffered minor injuries. The truck will undergo a mechanical inspection. On Aug. 3, a Ford F350 driver and passenger had to be cut out of their truck by fire rescue after it crossed the centre line on Hwy 16 near Copper River, smashed into the side mirror of a Chevy Silverado and its fifth wheel, went over an embankment and rolled twice. They suffered minor injuries. The motorists in the Chevy weren’t injured. Police say distracted driving was at fault. That same day, the driver of an Oldsmobile was arrested for impaired driving after crashing into a Honda on Hwy 113 near Rosswood. The

three-year-old passenger in the Olds and the Honda driver and two passengers had minor injuries. Also on Aug. 3, a driver and four passengers escaped injury in a single vehicle rollover 38 km east of Terrace on Hwy 16. Police say the driver fell asleep. And a Dodge Caravan, heading east attempted a left turn onto Eby St. off Hwy 16 and collided with a Toyota Tercel travelling west. On Aug. 4, a Honda Accord with a single passenger hit the ditch at the 13 km mark on West Kalum Forest Service Road. That same day saw the death of a 53-year-old Terrace man after his motorcycle crashed into the ditch on Old Lakelse Lake Rd. just past Thornhill St. A witness performed CPR immediately afterward but the man was pronounced dead at hospital. Witnesses said the Harley Davidson was heading east on a straight stretch when it went off the road. Speed and alcohol were not involved. The motorcycle will undergo a mechanical inspection.

Skeena First Nation fishery closed By Josh Massey The extremely low sockeye returns hit home hard when the Riverboat Days salmon barbecue typically hosted by the Kitsumkalum First Nation was cancelled because of a small catch. It was a sign of what has now happened – the First Nations food fishery and recreational fishery has been shut down until Aug. 23, says Fisheries and Oceans Canada official Mel Kotyk. For the recreational sockeye fishery, the closure extends from the Pacific to the Skeena River, its tributaries and right through to the

Babine as well, he said. “There have been food restrictions on the Fraser River and in some other localized circumstances, however ... to the best of my knowledge has never been implemented for the Skeena River,” he said. The closures were prompted when federal officials estimated that only 408,000 sockeye have returned, well below initial estimates of between 600,000 and 800,000. Kitsumkalum band manager Steve Roberts said the small returns became apparent in July, and caused the cancellation of the public feast at the Riverboat Days

festival. “Basically the barbecue was cancelled due to our inability to capture enough fish for the barbecue. We had problems meeting our food source and ceremonial needs within the village and organizers thought it best to just cancel the barbecue because we wouldn’t have sufficient fish for them,” he said. The sockeye ban, which includes food and ceremonial fish, means First Nations have to focus on catching other species this year. Roberts said federal officials predicting a large pink salmon return and he thinks about 50 per cent

of this year’s catch will be pink and coho, another species predicted to return in large numbers. However, part of the ban includes a temporary prohibition on gill netting because of its potential to damage the sockeye, in effect until Aug. 23 as well. Roberts added that many Kitsumkalum members are employed full-time in local industry and development projects so they don’t have to rely as heavily on the fish for sustenance this year. The closure of the recreational sockeye fishery will be felt on the pocketbooks of charter operators in the region, but Stan Doll with

Skeena Wilderness Adventures, a charter company that runs on the Skeena, said the low numbers make the closure understandable. “We like fishing them, they put up a good fight and are a good tasting fish, and we don’t have that much of an impact on the numbers, but if they’re going to close every other fishery, then it is fair that they close us down too. We understand, we want a strong fishery,” he said, adding that the lack of sockeye is evident to those on the river. “Normally you see them jumping and flipping everywhere. We’re just not seeing them on the Skeena this year.”

From front

Nass sockeye return surprise “There was more fisheries, higher Nisga’a entitlement, but we were very cautious that the run could potentially be early – those early (in season) forecasts were really high,” Alexander said, noting the Nisga’a Nation was able to harvest 25,000 more sockeye that preseason predictions called for. Early in-season predictions were calling for between 750,000 to 1,000,000 sockeye – which would have put the Nass sockeye well above average – but that eventually levelled off. “On average, the Nass usually has about 600,000 for sockeye that comes into Canada every year,” said Alexander. “Our pre-season forecast was almost about half of that

– 345,000. And so now we’re currently sitting at around 455,000.” That’s still less than average, but better than previous years, and Alexander says the sockeye coming through were predominantly four-year-olds, with a healthy push of jacks during the early pulse – which bodes well for next year’s predictions. And spawning levels are also looking promising. “About 70 per cent of the Nass sockeye spawn in the Meziadin river system, and our goal there is to reach 160,000 and if we can reach that then we’re doing really well,” Alexander said. “They’re sitting at 108,000 – typically at this time of year

N O R T H W E S T

they’re at 86,000 – so we’re on good track to reach the escapement goal there,” he said, noting that they’ve also achieved the aggregate escapement goal in terms of having enough fish in the upper Nass to reach all spawning grounds, which is 200,000. The Nass was closed for two weeks in July to allow a weak stock to travel through, a move crucial to stock management and that showed the co-operation of the fisheries stakeholders. “I think that it shows really good management that the commercial fishery, especially in a year when the Skeena was not open, that they were essentially shut down from sockeye retention for almost two

C O M M U N I T Y

weeks, and the Nisga’a did not do any sale fisheries in the same period,” said Alexander. “You really need the cooperation of groups,” he said. “We’re in an age of uncertainty, so when you’re doing fisheries or water management, you need to have systems in place during the year that allow you to adjust based on the information you collect.” “You want to have the information that helps guide you so you don’t overfish on a poor return year, you provide economic opportunities to sustain these fisheries when it’s able to so you don’t lose out,” Alexander continued. Fishwheels are used on the Nass to provide counts of returning salmon.

Kitsault lives

A day trip to the ghost town of Kitsault reveals a place preserved in time, waiting for the future By Anna Killen

t’s tough to say what’s going to happen to Kitsault. Abandoned since the early ‘80s when the town’s employer, Amax, closed the mine and the miners and families that briefly called it home were forced to leave, it’s seen a resurgence since it was purchased in 2005 by businessman Krishnan Suthanthiran. He’s had a number of plans for the site – the most recent being a hub for liquefied natural gas – and the grounds have been kept up by a small crew of workers led by the town’s managers, despite the somewhat fuzzy future. But whatever lies ahead, Kitsault’s spirit is decidedly strong and the depth of its past, preserved at as once was, can only aid in its future. Clockwise from top: There are 89 detached homes in Kitsault. This brown house on the corner is home to the Kitsault museum, curated with items from around the townsite by town manager, Indhu Mathew; Inside the home-turned-museum, a mantel displays left-behind trophies, the majority of the plates are not engraved; Upstairs at the hospital. Like many of the rooms in Kitsault, this one looks like the doctor left work one day and never went back; Closets of medical equipment, records, supplies, and medicine still remain in the hospital; A curling stone props open the door to the Maple Leaf Pub; The VIP lodge is furnished exactly as it was in the early ‘80s when the town was bustling with residents; Indhu Mathew climbs the steps into the tea house – a stunning cabin her husband Mathew Mathew discovered in the woods. Built by one of the town’s residents out of 100 per cent wood, it’s since been relocated to a beautiful spot beside the ocean; Grocery carts in the now-empty hospitality store inside the town’s mall.

EDITORIAL

What’s up? THE PROVINCIAL government was quick last December to embrace former provincial attorney-general Wally Oppal’s report of his inquiry into missing and murdered women, including the sections pertaining to northern B.C. In particular, the province promised action on the matter of safer transportation methods connecting the north’s spread out communities. But what’s happened since then is a bit of a mystery. Regular inquiries made to the province regarding transportation options have been met with general cookie cutter and vague responses. We’ve been told several ministries are involved and that there’s been discussions with local northern governments. But details about what is exactly happening are lacking. An election in the spring, a change of ministers, other priorities cropping up and so on can always slow things down. Clearly, the issue of safer northern transportation is complicated. Do the math of having few people living in tiny communities within a large land mass. The answer isn’t what people probably want to hear. While rookie North Coast NDP MLA Jennifer Rice’s call in the legislature last month for a shuttle service was admirable, as a matter of logistics, such a service is doubtful. That indeed may be the province’s conclusion. If so, or if not, it’s way past time for the province to release at least its preliminary findings. ESTABLISHED APRIL 27, 1988

CLAUDETTE SANDECKI ‘present’. In a second incident, even more public and annoying, a widow attending her husband’s funeral at Arlington cemetery in Virginia hired a photographer to video record the ceremony for her including the moment when she would be presented with the folded Star and Stripes. But a paparazzi-type attendee – incidentally a longtime friend of the widow -- pushed in front of her blocking not only her view of the graveside proceedings but that of her contracted videographer as well. So endeth their friendship.

Camera buffs in my family don’t block each others’ views but they do line up elbow to elbow like a firing squad in front of each family grouping. Each branch of my family tree harbours at least one shutterbug, often more. At any family reunion you can bet on the photographer-parent appearing as a shadow on the grass. Without a professional photographer atop a ladder, we’d never corral all 75 or more of them in one view. Two of us depend upon pen and paper rather than a camera. One brother carries a 3x5 notebook in his shirt pocket. At quiet moments he whips it out like a spy, to jot facts or observations. Later he twists his notes into limericks that memorialize the mood of the moment and provoke a chuckle. I, too, prefer pen and paper to Pentax. Before my day can really start, I must pen a note on anything from the day before that could possibly be worth remembering ten years later, at least by me. Although I enjoy sharing others’ photos, I seldom take any. Once I returned from a week long four-city visit to

Yet I had dozens of journal pages recording names, places, activities, funny incidents, and other mundane details that even today stir clear memories of that 2005 trip. Shot in my pre-digital, pre-computer days my Jasper photo was taken on a $7 throwaway Fuji camera. Equal in dimensions and weight to a pack of Players, the Fuji nonetheless took excellent photos on a par with others’ Canons and Nikons with lenses the size of muzzles on World War I field pieces. I made prints of my Fuji photos and to this day can dig them out of a file in no time. Other peoples’ digitals received by email as well as my own taken on an inexpensive Olympus I promptly download to iPhoto where I never see them again. On the other hand my journal entries are easily retrieved. All I need is a month, day and year. Claudette keeps pen and paper handy in Thornhill.

The Mail Bag Litter ruins duck race Dear Sir: While my nineyear-old daughter and I had planned to have a great time at the Riverboat Days Duck River Race, the plan was short-lived. We spent the entire time picking up litter and broken glass all along the Walmart trail, under the bridge and along the river rocks. It was everywhere, and there were a lot of young children in the area! I was nervous as my daughter had flip flops on and we had to tiptoe along numerous areas. I picked up as much broken glass and litter as I could to pack back out in a plastic bag which, ironically, I was fortunate enough to find along the way in some weeds. Our volunteering is wearing thin. Dog owners need to remain vigilant with their dog’s paws when

walking that area. We eventually scurried down the trail to catch up to the duckies to watch them being harvested in. Here the community is complaining about the possibility of the pipelines harming our environment – while pulling the mob mentality ‘Mother Earth’ card – when we’re already doing just fine polluting it all on our own. I was glad that the Australian tourist group I ran into at Canadian Wholesale and invited along were unable to attend. I would have been so embarrassed if they had visited that landfill site! Many who live here fail to realize that we are the caretakers of this land and need to live by example for our children to appreciate and enjoy their inheritance. Maggie Johnson, Terrace, BC

Choice of tackle only harms fish

file PHOTO

overabundance of litter continues to detract from the area’s beautiful outdoor surroundings.

Dear Sir: The recent column by Rob Brown offering advice on how to catch Chinook on the fly is a perfect example of how ideology often trumps common sense when it comes to salmon. Using size 8 hooks and 10 pound tippet to fish for salmon that can weigh upwards of 50 pounds will inevitably result in a long and protracted battle to bring a Chinook to the beach. The result will be a Chinook with enormous amounts of toxic lactic acid in its bloodstream, as well as other severe and life threatening impacts from a protracted effort to escape. In 25 years of fishing for Chinook, the times when I had to deal with Chinook near death was when someone I was guiding played it too long. I regret to this day my patience with them. And serving on the federal selective fishing panel, and working with some of Canada’s top fish epidemiologists, informs my opinion on this subject, not reading some quasi religious article by a yuppie fly fisherman in some fish porn magazine. Rob Brown likely can play and release a Chinook successfully using that tackle, but very few anglers have his experience or expertise. The ultimate example of this “light tackle” egoism was when the late Lee Wulff came to Terrace and bragged about catching a 20 pound steelhead on a size 20 fly. Yes, it can be done, but it doesn’t answer the question of whether, or why, it should be done. These are not trout in clear waters where light tippets are necessary, and where a trout can be landed in seconds with very low mortality. Use larger hooks that will hold better, and most of all use 20 pound tippet, and play the fish hard. Fish chinook with others so someone can tail the fish in the water, and don’t take it out of the water, or slide it onto the shore.

Excuse me, miss. Can I have this dance?

ere’s what’s happening in Northwest BC right now. We’re suddenly the belle of the natural resource ball. Many suitors (LNG, mining and oil companies) are vying for our hand (social licence and support). We’re interested in being courted because relationships come with many benefits (jobs, skills training, tax revenue, etc.). But we are overwhelmed by the attention and don’t know exactly how to deal with it. It’s really hard to get to know each suitor and understand what they are all about - especially when many look the same from the outside. Then, when we start to talk to the suitors and get to know them, we aren’t sure whether to believe what they say. We’re slow to trust because we know from previous relationships that people can make big promises and fail to deliver. We’re also a little uncomfortable with the suitors’ wooing techniques, which are a little different from what us small town girls are used to. While they are trying to impress us with shiny gifts (swag

and sponsorships), catered parties (open houses) and fancy clothes (literally dressing up for business meetings), we’d prefer to have them over for a home-cooked meal and simple conversation so we can get to know them better. Instead of talking to us directly, many are going through our guardians (councils and economic development offices). Sure, these people are our family and know us pretty well, but they don’t know exactly what we want. Anyway, we want to have our say. This is our life and our future we are talking about. Like anyone in the beginning of a relationship, we want to be heard and understood. We want suitors to see us as real people, not just prizes to be won. And we definitely don’t want them to tell us not to worry, they’ve got it all figured out. That only makes us worry more and trust less. We understand we are now in the dating game. Some are excited about the prospects. Others are afraid. Many are simply overwhelmed – and common reactions to feeling overwhelmed are procrastination and tuning out.

g u e s t c o mm e n t

SARAH ARTIS So instead of enjoying all the attention we are getting, many of us are reluctant to engage with these suitors, let along enter into a serious relationship with them. It’s risky and much easier to turn the other way. Even worse is when you do take that risk and then feel in over your head because you don’t know all the rules of the game (details about each project, how the projects fit together, government policies surrounding natural resource de-

velopment, environmental assessment process, etc.) Realistically, no one has a complete picture. The amount of development proposed is unprecedented. Combine that with our different thoughts, feelings and opinions about the situation as a whole and each project, and it’s even more complicated. Something needs to change so that interested regional residents can and are encouraged to take an active role in this dating game. Maybe all the suitors from the same industry need to look beyond competition, present their information together, and aim for a well-suited match instead of simply winning. Or maybe a higher power (provincial government?), with or without industry’s help, should develop something that allows us to scope out a vision for the region’s future, decide what kind of suitors we want, and assess them accordingly. Or maybe it’s simply up to us to overcome our differences, and talk and listen to each other – no matter their stance – and figure out what would benefit the region. Then we could approach industry

and government as a powerful united front. Either way, we all know that healthy relationships are built on foundations: honesty, a willingness to understand the other party and their needs, try to meet those needs, and at times, put their needs before our own. We shouldn’t expect a fairy tale ending where everyone lives happily ever after. However, if we and our suitors are willing to work within the confines of these foundations, we may just be able to get to know and understand each other, work together, and develop meaningful and mutually beneficial relationships. We all know relationships can be a lot of work, but if done right, they are worth it in the end. Sarah Artis lives in Terrace, BC and works for the SkeenaNass Centre for Innovation in Resource Economics, a non-profit that identifies, develops and promotes opportunities to build a resilient and sustainable natural resource economy in the SkeenaNass region. She feels excited, afraid and overwhelmed by the development happening in Northwest BC.

Police could benefit from antique guns Dear Sir: The comment by RCMP Const. Angela Rabut contained in your firearms amnesty story of July 10 regarding antique guns that destroying these valuable and irreplaceable firearms was “heartbreaking” is a colossal understatement. It’s just like burning stacks and stacks of hundred dollar bills. The good citizens of B.C. turned in their valuable firearms because the police convinced them that it was unsafe to do otherwise.

Did the police tell them that they had other options? There are many federally-licensed gun dealers and collectors, approved gun clubs and ranges, museums and auction houses that would have gladly taken the guns off their hands legally and paid the owners what the firearms were actually worth. Did the police tell these unsuspecting citizens how valuable these firearms were – especially the antiques? Rather than being destroyed by the police under the direction and control of both the fed-

eral and provincial governments, these hundreds of turned-in guns and tens of thousands of confiscated guns could be auctioned off to federally-licensed gun owners and the money spent on real priorities in B.C. communities. Sadly, the government would rather waste thousands of dollars destroying these beautiful firearms than use the money they could have made selling them, to do good work in their communities at absolutely no risk to public and police safety. Dennis R. Young, Airdrie, Alberta

Fish conservation must be shared by all concerned Dear Sir: The recent ban on the retention of Skeena River sockeye salmon to conserve future stocks is a responsibility shared by everyone. Yet there was a gap between the time the ban on the commercial and sport fishery was placed and the time the ban on First Nations retention for food purposes was instituted. I understand the allotments given to First Nations but if there is to be a ban on the retention of sockeye, it should be shared by everyone at the same time. I am also concerned about the number of fish being sold illegally when escapement numbers aren’t being met. I believe if all parties involved in this fishery had been on-board, that goal would have been obtained.

I am frustrated with politicians and government officials not addressing these issues, for fear of not being re-elected. This head in the sand attitude unfortunately is not inclusive to only fishing. I understand why people purchase fish from First Nations, all you have do is look in the supermarkets at the cost of a sockeye. However, I urge all people not to buy fish from First Nations, this enables this overfishing to continue. It’s time the world come to understand that First Nations are not the stewards of the land. This is merely a romantic notion. If we are to conserve our resources, it must be a responsibility we all share together. David Miller, Terrace, BC

Symphony serves as musical example Dear Sir: I attended the last concert of the local Terrace Symphony Orchestra before the summer. It presented a challenging and entertaining concert at the Knox United Church. This programme was a considerable credit to its director, to the community, and also to the many Terrace music teachers who have given the gift of ability to perform music at such a high standard. As a listener, I was struck by the number of young musicians who were trained in your schools. Terrace schools have been a

beacon for the arts and music for many years now. I trust that all those in positions of educational leadership and responsibility in your town will ensure that music and arts programmes in your schools will be maintained and flourish. Enabling conditions will start with excellent teachers, enabling timetables, and adequate resources. Bravo and brava to the existing Terrace music teachers who have earned an outstanding reputation provincewide for your music programmes. Dr. Dennis Frank Tupman, Green Lake, BC

Fish tackle crucial Make sure it is still vigorous, and can hold itself upright. Hold it in the current and give it a chance to recover. This species is problematic for catch and release at best. The idea that small hooks and light tippets are somehow more “sporting” is simply the ideology of a bygone era when there were far fewer fisherman, and we knew far less about the physiology of salmon under stress of capture, whether from a net or a hook. Today, Chinook are under severe pressure coastwise, and it’s everyone’s responsibility to fish responsi-

bly. Using tiny hooks and light tippets to play these magnificent creatures is neither ethical nor moral. Best of all - harvest the fish, call it a very good day, and move on to other species that handle catch and release better. Rob usually has good advice on fishing responsibly, and has made enormous contributions to salmon conservation, but in this case he was dead wrong. Bruce Hill, Terrace, BC

city councillor Brian Downie chats with energy and mines minister Bill Bennett, right, during a session at city hall last week. Bennett and other ministers were touring the region.

From front

Broad money pitch urged Councillor Brian Downie wanted the aging aquatic centre question addressed and councillor Bruce Bidgood said the city needs $45 million to fix up its infrastructure. “Is the new bridge first priority or third? Or is the hospital first? This next 20 years is going to be quite a ride so we need to hear from the whole area,” said Bennett. Oakes said she has studied the revenue sharing report drafted by the city earlier this year and sees it as an important template for future revenue sharing based on the impact projects will have in the area. However, she said that the BC Liberal Government won’t be using the term revenue sharing and prefers “rural dividend.”

BILL BENNETT is known as one of the more colourful and opinionated cabinet ministers. The energy and mines minister had several opinions to give out here last week. Depending upon circumstances, Bennett said finishing high school may not always be crucial for a young person entering the industrial workforce. “We’re starting to get out of the box a little bit in terms of what we can do,” said Bennett. “Why don’t we offer young people who don’t like school some specialized training so they can go to work and learn those math skills later without having Grade 12?” After ministers John Rustad and Carolee Oakes introduced themselves, Bennett said in his intro that “I am not a rookie. I am like a beatup old car.”

NDP MLA seeks LNG plan clarity the provincial government is keeping its plans for a potential liquefied natural gas (LNG) industry under wraps, says Skeena NDP MLA Robin Austin. “They have some obviously very tricky negotiations both on the tax side and the environmental side,” said Austin, adding that BC won’t likely see a comprehensive LNG strategy tabled until the fall. “I asked lots of questions in my Hansard debate and most of the answers were ‘that is privileged information right now we are in the midst of negotiation,’” added Austin of the summer session of the legislature. Austin, re-elected in the May provincial election and since named as the NDP critic for natural gas, said the Christy Clark government needs to find a way to tax the LNG industry in order to deliver the promised Prosperity Fund. The MLA acknowledged that a natural gas industry will mean benefits for British Columbians but noted that Liberal government taxation plans can’t scare off industry developers who have options in other natural gas-producing countries. “We are also dealing with an industry that is global. If we tax here, they will go get it from the States or Qatar,” Austin said. “You’ve got to realize that because people are really excited about all the projects up here, there are 25 projects proposed in Louisiana and Texas.” At the same time, Austin argues that the Liberal government has the challenge of sticking to the greenhouse gas emission regulations put into force by former Liberal Premier Gordon Campbell, something Clark

seems to be standing by with her promise that B.C.’s LNG industry will be the most environmentally responsible in the world. “It was the Liberal government who brought in the law that said we are going to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions by 2020 down to 2007 levels. Even one LNG plant will blow that out of the water,” said Austin. “A year ago, they changed the Clean Energy act to read that emissions within the actual plant are not going to be counted as part of our carbon emissions. They are already starting to do that. It’s called ‘within the fence’ which means within the area of the plant it won’t count for our greenhouse gas emissions. Which is giving them a lead. “It suggests to me that the government is about to figure out how to change their own law ... Of course if you change the goal posts, you can say you are changing anything.” Austin said there are several ways to tax LNG producers. “It’s either going to be all put on a prosperity tax that might be an export tax, and probably a tax coming in on venting that will be part of the carbon tax ... so I think it’s going to be a combination of a variety of taxes that will bring in this money. Don’t forget the governmental said they are going to pay off the debt of British Columbia, that’s $57 billion.” In the meantime, a Shell executive in charge of one LNG project, Canada LNG at Kitimat, is looking for taxation details. Quoted in the Wall Street Journal, Andy Calitz said the lack of detail is holding up price negotiations with overseas buyers.

northwest transmission line helicopter work The Northwest Transmission Line is a new 287 kilovolt transmission line currently under construction between Terrace and Bob Quinn Lake. As part of the construction work, conductor is being strung along the project route using helicopters. People living outside of Terrace who are travelling on the Nisga’a Highway or Highway 37 may notice this work taking place over the next number of months. The contractor has obtained the necessary permits and permissions and is in compliance with Transport Canada requirements. For more information on the Northwest Transmission Line Project, or if you have any questions, please visit: bchydro.com/ntl or contact BC Hydro at stakeholderengagement@bchydro.com or at 604 623 4472, toll-free 1 866 647 3334. 3969

It’s what he said

During a campaign stop in Terrace during the provincial election, Premier Christy Clark promised that northwestern residents would receive a fair share of any taxation revenue coming to the provincial government from new industrial projects in the region. Oakes said that part of the government’s jobs strategy is to make places of work attractive to potential workers. “If we’re attracting good quality people here who bring their families we need sports, we need the arts here,” said Oakes. Councillor Stacey Tyers was acting as deputy mayor for David Pernarowski who was on holiday.

Have lunch at the mess THE KSAN Society is reaching back into Terrace history by issuing a community invitation for lunch Thursday, Aug. 22. The lunch is being called a 1940s armystyle one, a reflection that Terrace was the location of a significant

Canadian army presence during the Second World War. The location further ties in with history as it is being held in a former officers’ mess hall, now renovated for community use and called Ksan Place. It is situated behind

the emergency shelter at 2812 Hall St. The menu is beef stew, crusty bread and apple pie. The Ksan Girls Group is helping with food preparation. There is no charge for the meal which begins at 11:30 a.m. and

ends at 1:30 p.m. The root of the word “mess” and its meaning comes from the Old French word ‘mes’ which refers to a portion of food. By the 15th century, a group of people who ate together was also called a “mess”.

Needle found in child’s shoe

A15

Small hypodermic needle glued in so it would poke child’s foot IT’S THE kind of story that is every parent’s nightmare. A mom purchases a pair of shoes for her child, but when he puts them on it’s discovered that there is a needle inside, fashioned so it will poke the young victim. It’s almost too morbid to be true – except that it is, and it happened here, in Terrace, B.C. “I was horrified,” said Rosie McCormick, who discovered a small, hypodermic needle glued inside the red, croc-style shoes she purchased for her seven-year-old son at Walmart earlier this month. “We bought the shoes and then we drove out to the beach,” she said. “My son went to put them on his feet and said ‘Oh there’s something in my shoe’ so I looked in it and there’s this needle glued in there – it was glued – so I dug it out with a pen.” But thankfully, the needle missed poking her son. “I was very, very thankful,” she said. “What are the odds?

The needle was glued pointing upwards to poke whoever stuck their foot in there and I guess it just turned sideways when he stuck his foot in there, and didn’t poke him.” McCormick contacted Walmart, who told her staff would check the remaining shoes and notify other stores to do the same. But she believes they could have done more to notify the public about the incident. “Don’t you think you should pull these off the shelves or put up a notice?,” she said. “People need to know that this happened.” But she said she isn’t blaming Walmart for the incident – that it could have happened in any store and to anyone. “I’m not pointing fingers at Walmart, but the fact is it happened in a Walmart and Walmart should do something about it,” she said. “I’m sure Walmart’s worried, but I don’t want money, I don’t want a lawsuit, I don’t want anything, I just want people to know. That’s it. I want them to do something and tell people that it hap-

“We are not aware of any similar incidents.” Requests for more information about the investigation process, and what safety measures Walmart has in place to prevent similar incidents from happening were not answered by the end of last week. And McCormick also contacted Terrace RCMP, who have since concluded the file after having discussions with Walmart and do not have a suspect at this time. “It’s unclear how and why something like

this can happen,” said Terrace RCMP community policing officer Const. Angela Rabut. “A needle in a shoe is indeed pretty rare. “Canada is a great country to live in and Terrace takes that a step further in being a safe and great place to live and raise children,” she said. “Nevertheless, it would be naive to think we are above crazy things happening sometimes, like a needle in a shoe. Crime does happen here and with the public’s support we will continue to combat it.”

Hiker rescued from cliff face A MAN who spent more than five hours stranded on a cliff face near Shames Mountain, after he and a friend tried a short cut, was rescued by Terrace Search and Rescue and a helicopter Aug. 5. At dusk, the hiker was spotted precariously perched on the cliff and ground searchers lowered him by rope without injury, said police. It had been approximately more than five hours for the hiker clinging to the rock face unable to relax, said police. The ordeal began when two friends were out hiking along Shames River for the day, but their progress was slower than expected so they decided to hike up a waterfall chute to cut back to the road, said police. The 32-year-old man started the climb and soon found himself unable to go any further up or climb back down, said police. His friend, who hiked out for help, was soon twisted around in the unfamiliar terrain but eventually made it back to the vehicle and drove to an area with cell service to call for help, said police. Terrace RCMP received the call for help at approximately 8 p.m. Aug. 5 and immediately contacted Terrace Search and Rescue. A helicopter was called out to assist. This area is commonly known by locals as The Valley of Certain

Doom. It is comprised of rough, dangerous terrain, and thick bush. The Terrace Search and Rescue response in this incident was excellent and the experience of the team members proved invaluable, said RCMP Constable Bruce Lofroth. It is questionable whether the hiker would have been able to maintain his hold on the rock face throughout the night, he added. But that was not the end – the hiker, escorted by a Search and Rescue volunteer, had to hike out through the rough terrain and even with head lamps fell a number of times, said police. The search and rescue volunteer fell onto a porcupine and had 30 porcupine quills embedded in his arm. Terrace RCMP would like to remind people who head into the backcountry to ensure they are properly prepared in the case of an emergency and the unexpected happens. They’ve provided the following tips: - Ensure you are familiar with the area. - Carry an emergency kit. It could save your life. Proper preparation could also lessen the risk for emergency personnel, says RCMP Constable Angela Rabut of the Terrace RCMP detachment.

Wanted fugitive to face charges in Alberta a man convicted of escaping police custody and obstructing a peace officer in Stewart was sent back to Alberta as a wanted fugitive to face criminal charges in that province. On July 26, Michael Todd Schofield was arrested here, remanded in custody and was transported to Vermillion, Alberta on August 2. He’s wanted there for mischief, uttering threats, dangerous operation of a motor vehicle, fleeing from police in a motor vehicle and impaired driving. He also has outstanding warrants from Grande Prairie, Alberta for mischief, fail to appear and resisting arrest. He was identified as a candidate for the BC Fugitive Return Program (BCFRP) by Stewart RCMP. On July 26, in provincial court here, Schofield pleaded guilty to one charge of escape from lawful custody and one charge of wilfully obstructing a peace officer in Stewart May 2 of this year. He was ordered to pay a $500 fine and to not to go within 10 km of Stewart except for work, and to tell his probation officer the dates and times that he would be there for work. On May 2 at 6:30 p.m., Stewart police were called when a witness saw Schofield on the back patio of the King Edward Hotel even though hotel owners had barred him from the property because of previous incidents, said crown prosecutor Bill Funnell in reviewing the evidence. The officer noticed an odour of liquor on Schofield’s breath and that his speech was slurred, court heard. He admitted to the officer he had been drinking liquor and that he knew he was barred from hotel property but was just talking to someone and not causing a problem, court heard. The constable offered to give him a ride home, court heard. After he was put in the police vehicle, Schofield became belligerent and argumentative, court heard. The officer told him he was under arrest for being drunk and in public and that he would remain at the detachment

in cells until he sobered up, court heard. At the cell block, Schofield refused to walk in, stared down the officer and continued to stare him down, court heard. He refused to enter

the cell, swore and ran to the parking bay, and exited the building, court heard. He fell on the grass, stood up and turned to face the officer, who had been yelling at him to stop, and then Scho-

field ran toward the officer, yelling “come on, let’s go,” court heard. The officer stepped back and struck Schofield’s upper left arm with his baton and inadvertently struck Schofield on top of the head,

which started bleeding, but Schofield continued to get closer and grabbed the baton, court heard. A second officer was called and he managed to force Schofield to the ground and told Scho-

field he was under arrest, court heard. Schofield was taken to hospital in Stewart where he received 11 staples in his head, and was treated for significant bruising, court heard. The officers

weren’t injured, court heard. The BC Fugitive Return Program is managed by RCMP and Vancouver police with financing from the Civil Forfeiture Office of the BC government.

Obituaries

On May 6th 1961, Abe & June celebrated their love for each other and on that day become lifelong partners. Their journey has been a long and happy one filled with the joy and exploits of their children, Kathy, Tina, Laura, and Baby Melinda. They experienced the pain and sorrow of losing a child when Baby Melinda passed way. But found their way thru that with grace and each other continuing on to raise us three girls with wisdom and love. In the next part of their journey, they had to watch us girls find our spouses, one turned out to be a long term guy who I’m sure was much more than a son-in-law in their eyes and hearts. Then along came the grand children Cristy, Andrea, Brittany, Tyler, Jared, Heather, Jessie and Katana. They so enjoyed watching all those grand children come along and grow, becoming very entertaining little characters each and every one of them. Next came some great grandchildren into the family; Sarah, Riley, Maiya and Skylar. They enjoyed and shared the lives of their brothers and sisters families both near and far and made great efforts to meet and get to know as many of the nieces and nephews as possible. In all they have had a truly grand journey that has been filled with lots of family, many many good friends, and most of all each other. The consummate Lifelong Team. On November 2nd, 2011 Mom left us to be in a better place, free of the pain that she had so bravely endured for a number of years. Since her departure, Dad has been steadily tidying up and making ready to join her. On Wednesday, July 3rd, 2013 in the late evening, Mom arrived to collect Dad. I am told she arrived in style on that rainbow that was seen over Copper Mountain shortly after 9 p.m. that evening. We all will miss them terribly for years to come, but take much comfort in knowing that they are back together again and Melinda has been waiting oh so patiently for them. It is her turn to bask in the loving care we have enjoyed these many years. Mom Dad, Thank you for this wonderful life you both provided for us. We are eternally grateful. Bless us and watch over us. Forever your little chicks Kathy Tina and Laura

return from a vacation in the Rockies and the Okanagan to find it warmer here than it was in both of those places. How often does that happen? I ask Karen rhetorically. Doug arrives mid morning with a copy of the last issue of Harper’s Magazine, a bag containing a filet of freshly caught pink salmon and a chunk of halibut, and the news that the sockeye salmon return to the Skeena this year is so shrivelled that all fisheries for them, save the in-river First Nations fishery, are closed. I venture that opinion that there was no reason to shut down the sockeye sports fishers since even at times of abundance, the number of sockeye that succumb to the snaggers doesn’t even put a small dent in the aggregate numbers of fish, and with far fewer fish in the river, the sport catch would be so puny as to be almost nonexistent. It’s all about optics, suggests Doug. I tell him that I’ve heard a rumour that there’s a huge pink salmon run making its way up the river. I add that earlier I tied half a dozen pink flies of the type humpies can’t resist, and that I am intending to go to Finlay’s Reach at the top of Shames Bar and try to catch a few. What time? asks Doug.

spawn in the Skeena proper were finishing up. I suggested to my old friend that fishing the Shames would probably yield lots of char and trout and save him the walk to the big river, but he was eager to fish his favourite spot, the gentle riffle just down stream of the log jam at the top of the bar. I’m glad he insisted. I lost a steelhead that left my heart somewhere up around my Adam’s apple, while Finlay brought some really large bull trout to the beach. On the way back, we ignored the urge to be home in time for dinner and had a grand time catching Cutthroat Trout. This has changed, remarks Doug when we reach the Skeena. It’s been like this for a few years, I tell him. The log jam is still there but the long gentle riffle and the long gravel shingle so agreeable to fly fishermen is gone, replaced by a steep cutbank. Far side looks good, I say, staring longingly at the expansive gravel bar there. There is a stretch about a hundred metres long that looks like a promising lay-by. We divide it up and fish for an hour. Not a single fish rolls. Neither of us hook a fish. Strange, I tell Doug as we make our way back to the truck fishless. I expected there would have been hundreds of fish streaming by. I’m coming back tomorrow... To be continued...

Police catch 18 during driving crackdown in July EIGHTEEN PEOPLE driving while impaired by alcohol and/or drugs were caught by police during the Summer Counter Attack Campaign for the entire month of July. And no one suffered major injuries or died due to collisions caused by intoxication. “Police are happy to report that there were no major injuries or fatalities directly related to collisions involving impairment through the month of July,” said media relations officer Const. Angela Rabut. Terrace general duty officers and North District Traffic Services officers gave out driving prohibitions ranging from 12 hours to 90 days or charged people through the criminal code, she added. Fourteen of the 18 investigations were either in Terrace itself or in the immediate surrounding area regular-

ly patrolled by Terrace RCMP, said Rabut. There was one crash that involved impairment: the two vehicle occupants suffered minor injuries and were released from hospital that same day, she said. “The number of investigations itself with respect to impaired drivers would ideally like to be seen lower and police will continue to exercise extra efforts towards targeting impaired drivers,” said Rabut. “Too many people have been hurt or killed over the years due to the poor decisions made by themselves or others,” she said. The priorities of local police, besides targeting drivers impaired by alcohol or drug drivers, include keeping an eye out for aggressive drivers and drivers and passengers who don’t wear their seatbelts.

Patio door smashed POLICE ARE looking for information to find those responsible for smashing a patio door with a rock during an attempted break in of a residence in the 4300 block of Eby St. that occurred on Tuesday, July 23 sometime during the day.

Weather ups fire total THIS SUMMER’S hot and dry weather has resulted in 94 wildfires as of Aug. 9, reports the province’s Northwest Fire Centre in Smithers. That’s more than the 59 fires for the same time period in 2012, an indication of current conditions in the region, says Suzanne Pearce, who works at the fire centre. Across the province, 1,045 wildfires were recorded as of Aug. 9, more than the 822 for the same period in 2012. The conditions resulted last week in more burning bans. Pearce also said two three-member initial attack crews were sent from southeastern BC last week, where conditions haven’t been as dry, to Dease Lake north of here toward the Yukon border in anticipation of increased fire activity. “What our crews are doing is concentrating on the southern half of our area,” said Pearce. As of late last week, the largest fire burning in the region was in the Mess Creek area,

close to Mount Edziza Provincial Park to the north, which was an estimated 1,500 hectares in size. It wasn’t threatening structures or communities so it wasn’t being fought. But officials were keeping an eye on it, said Pearce. “We continue to do aerial patrols,” she said. There was a small fire danger reprieve the middle of last week when rain fell and temperatures cooled. “That gave us an opportunity to reset our crews, get them some rest and have them go over their gear,” said Pearce. As of Aug. 9, crews were battling a smaller 10 hectare blaze in the Kitlope southeast of Kitimat. Officials did relax some burning restrictions Aug. 9, allowing fires in designated fire rings or pits at the Furlong Bay provincial campground at Lakelse Lake, at Kleanza Creek provincial campground and at the Kin Kiddies Kamp at Lakelse Lake.

Regional jobs picture brighter THE NORTHWEST’S jobless rate continues to decline, a reflection of increasing regional economic activity. Statistics Canada figures for July indicate there were 41,000 people working in the area from the North Coast to just this side of Vanderhoof, an increase of 600 over June. That was sufficient to drop the jobless rate to six per cent, lower than June’s 6.7 per cent and May’s 7.7 per cent. And as the number of people working edges upwards, the number of unemployed has also dropped – from 3,300 in May to 2,900 in June to 2,600 in July. July’s jobless rate of 6 per cent is also a marked improvement from the 11.9 per cent for July 2012. July 2012’s statistics show there were 38,400 people working then with 5,200 people saying they were unemployed. And, in comparison to recent years when the northwest had the highest jobless rate among regions in BC, that’s no longer the case. Three regions – the ThompsonOkanagan with 6.6 per cent, the Lower Mainland with 6.8 per cent and Vancouver Island with 6.4 per cent – had higher rates in July than did the northwest. The northwest even did better than

the provincial average of 6.6 per cent for July. The Kootenays with 5.5 per cent, the Cariboo with 5.9 per cent and the northeast with 4.5 per cent topped the northwest. The northwest jobless rate is not the number of people collecting Employment Insurance. Instead it is based on interviews of people from the north coast to just this side of Vanderhoof who consider themselves as part of the workforce whether they are employed or not. And that means the jobless rate can reflect how people feel about their own employment prospects. Overall, however, the provincial jobs situation declined in July. Statistics Canada figures show the province lost 11,700 jobs with most of the drop coming in part-time positions. Provincial jobs minister Shirley Bond said the news wasn’t a surprise. “We know that monthly fluctuations in job numbers are to be expected, and in three of the past five years, our province has experienced July job losses, she said. “Despite these losses, we are better off than where we were a year ago, with B.C. placing third in the country in terms of job creation since the launch of the jobs plan,” said Bond of the figures.
