Gas-fired power plant wanted Veresen Inc., the same company that’s building a runof-river hydroelectric project southwest of Terrace, has announced plans for another development, this one a natural gas-powered electricity generating facility at the City of Terrace’s Skeena Industrial Development Park just south of the airport. Called the Terrace Energy Centre, the facility will “provide reliable, economic energy to support industrial development and provide emergency generation capacity in the northwest,” indicates a Veresen presentation made to city council Aug. 26. The facility “will provide a long-term, predictable taxation and revenue stream for the City of Terrace and Kitselas First Nation” and will create 300 jobs during its construction stage and 10-12 jobs after completion, Veresen’s presentation added. Veresen has signed a memorandum of understanding with the city for the purchase of airport-area lands. Listed among issues are greenhouse gas emissions, nitrous oxide, sulfur oxide and particulates that would come from burning natural gas. The report states that Veresen will apply for an official environmental review once the government and BC Hydro tell it what their generation requirements are. BC Hydro released a long awaited electrical generation report late last week in which it indicated electricity demand will increase by 40 per cent over the next 20 years. The report highlights the massive Site C power project in the northeast and conservation methods as key factors in providing electricity to meet demand but it also mentioned using natural gas as a means of producing power. Calgary-based Veresen is an energy company which operates other electricity-producing facilities in Canada and the United States which feature turbines powered by natural gas. The publicly-traded company also has interests in various pipelines in addition to wind turbine operations and has operations of various kinds elsewhere in B.C., in Ontario, Prince Edward Island, Colorado and California. Veresen’s presentation highlighted its business relationship with the Kitselas First Nation whose traditional territory takes in the lands around the airport. That relationship began when Swift Power, which was subsequently bought by Veresen, began exploring the potential to build a run-of-river hydro project using water from the Dasque and Middle creeks southwest of Terrace. Construction of that project is now underway. Also regarded as beneficial to Veresen’s plans is the closeness of BC Hydro’s Skeena Substation, which would be the entry point into the provincial grid for the facility’s power, and the natural gas line owned by Pacific Northern Gas. Veresen has been negotiating a deal with that company to supply natural gas. As Veresen works on its natural gas-powered plan, it has run into difficulties on its Dasque-Middle run-of-river project. Prime sub-contractor Dowland is now in receivership and Veresen, which has a contract to sell the power it will generate to BC Hydro, has now had to hire other companies to finish the project. “Consequently, commercial in-service is expected to be delayed until 2014,” reported the company this month as it outline its overall second quarter financial results.

Website promotes job training A WEBSITE meant to connect workers with skilled jobs expected from industrial development in the next years is now active. iChinook has its roots in a committee set up several years ago by BC Hydro to consider the number of direct and indirect jobs that could come from its Northwest Transmission Line now under construction. That committee then added other potential industrial developments, including the prospect of liquefied natural gas plants, to its list and commissioned a report indicating there was a gap between job skills of northwest residents and those that would be needed to work on the projects. “British Columbia has tremendous opportunities for eco-
nomic prosperity over the next 10 years, and we need to ensure that skills training is aligned with the jobs on the ground in sectors and regions across this province,” said provincial jobs minister Shirley Bond in explaining the committee’s work and the website’s purpose. There are provisions on the website for companies to post jobs, for people to learn more about overall job opportunities and the money available to take training programs. One key element is making sure there are trained people on hand to meet the requirements of large industrial concerns.

A message from Mr Mikes, This years beach volleyball tournament was the most attended in the events 13 year history. What began as Ron Story’s desire to do something ‘cool’ for our guests during River Boat Days, has become an incredible event for all ages to enjoy. The event now draws players and fans from around the region and beyond to watch, play and enjoy River Boat Days festival. There was great pride in the fun this brought when the original 12 teams participated in our inaugural year, but growing an event to this scale could not have been possible without the incredible support and cooperation from our gracious landlords, amazing sponsors, community leaders, staff, guests, volunteers and Ken Simons with Ken’s Trucking for providing the beach. The community support is impossible to put in words, but over the weekend we were able to raise $700.00 for Crimestoppers to help with Community Policing (they do a fantastic job keeping everything positive at our event throughout the year) and we provided $2500.00 to “Kids Sport” – our local chapter that helps provide financially disadvantaged kids the opportunity to participate in organized sports programming. Our company believes participation in sports fosters leadership, teamwork, sportsmanship, work ethic and friendships (and future volleyball participants!) and we are proud of supporting the Kids Sport initiative. If you would like to learn how you can support Kids Sport in Terrace, contact: Kim McDougall at kmacdougall@terrace.ca (even your old hockey gear can make a kids dream come true!)

Little Ave. buildings now demolished AFTER A lot of discussion between the city and the owners, all three properties on Little Ave. ordered to be demolished by the city have been taken down. The structure at 4520 Little Ave., owned by Wayne Kirby, had been partly removed but the last part, which had been rental accommodation, remained standing until last week when a Geier Waste backhoe tore it down Aug. 19. The building, which once served as a Red Cross hospital, was set to be removed and the site cleaned up in the next two weeks, said David Block, the city’s director of development services last week. The other two buildings, 4440 Little Ave. and 4450 Little Ave., a Second World War-era barracks building, had already been demolished. “All three properties have now passed the council-ordered remedial action completion dates,” said Block. The owners are close to final compliance at 4440 and 4450 Little Ave., he added. Geier Waste was also hired by new owner

Police in between Tahltan, miners By JOSH MASSEY
RCMP officers have set up a camp between one occupied by Tahltan members and one established by a company which wants to develop an open-pit anthracite coal mine in the Klappan area north of here. The Tahltan, who view the Klappan as a hunting and food-gathering area, have been threatening a blockade of Fortune Minerals which is gathering information that will lead to asking for provincial environmental clearance to open a mine they say could provide $10 billion in revenue over its lifetime. The RCMP camp, set up last week, consists of several officers living in walled tents and equipped with allterrain vehicles. It hasn’t stopped Tahltan who have been regularly visiting the Fortune camp to hold drumming rallies. They say Fortune’s plan is a disrespectful and damaging intrusion on culturally and spiritually important traditional territory. RCMP Constable Lesley Smith said that the officers in the police camp were called in from various locations, and reports indicate that several were dispatched from Prince Rupert, more than 300 kilometres southwest of the Klappan. “Our RCMP members are at the site and aware of the concerns raised by the group that is there. “We are going to continue to monitor the matter at this stage. We have an appropriate amount of RCMP members there speaking to both sides of the group and company to keep the peace, and everything is peaceful right now,” said Smith last week. According to Iskut band council chief Marie Quock, on the first night of the drum rally effort early last week, protesters entered the Fortune camp itself. “The first night one of the ladies who is in charge came out and said ‘this is an active mining camp and you can’t be here’ but nobody listened to her and kept on drumming, so she went back,” said
Quock. Tahltan Central Council president Annita McPhee said that on the second night, the RCMP intervened and set limits on how close the drummers and singers could approach the mining camp. “They said you could only go this far and can’t go into the camp,” said McPhee. According to Quock, the demonstrations continue to be peaceful, and she said that Tahltan members also staged a drum rally on Mount Klappan itself. Fortune, headquartered in London, Ontario, set up in the Klappan in July to begin baseline data collection needed to apply for a provincial environmental review. Not all Tahltan are opposed to Fortune’s plan. Fortune official Troy Nazarewicz said seven Tahltan and one Gitxsan person are employed at the camp in addition to two nonaboriginal employees. “We also continue to make every effort to increase aboriginal employment through our human resources and supply chain policies. Fortune Minerals has also hired one Tahltan and two Gitxsan citizens as community relations coordinators,” he said. In the meantime, McPhee says she has contacted provincial mines minister Bill Bennett in hopes of convincing the province to protect the Klappan area from development. “I didn’t hear a response back from the minister, but I have faith that there will be some good progress made at the negotiating table when we go,” said McPhee. The Tahltan presented Fortune with an eviction notice earlier this month, which Fortune did not acknowledge. Fortune has held coal rights in the Klappan for more than a decade as it sought financing to develop its mining plan. The latest Tahltan action is not the first by members of that first nation who are opposed to Fortune.

TAHLTAN and others face a Fortune Minerals delegation during a meeting in the Klappan north of here. Fortune Minerals has had several meetings with the Tahltan, saying it has licences from the B.C. government permitting it to be working in the area. Tahltan leaders argue that Fortune is getting in the way of their hunting and spiritual practices, which they say they have been doing there on a nomadic basis since time immemorial. McPhee and Quock both said they want to see the whole Klappan area, which contains the headwaters of three major northwestern rivers—the Nass, Stikine and Skeena—protected by the provincial government decree, but that Fortune Minerals is trying to apply for an environmental assessment before that can happen. Fortune officials say they have altered helicopter routes to avoid disturbing Tahltan hunters. But they did say their camp will remain open and workers will continue to gather data leading to an application for environmental approval. “We highlighted the importance of the summer environmental field program for the collection of scientific information to support the BC Environmental Assessment process, and the necessity of the same information to allow for an informed Tahltan decision,” said Fortune official Troy Nazarewicz of a meeting held with Tahltan leaders and others.

BUSINESS REVIEW
Co-op land developers still working on plans By Josh Massey Right Now the old Co-op lands along the 4600 block of Greig Ave. are abandoned and unkempt. With the exception of an aged building close to the railway tracks from which used furniture and other items are sold, there’s nothing to indicate the property’s past place in local commercial history when it contained a thriving grocery store and retail complex owned by the Terrace Cooperative Association. The complex was closed in 1997 and demolished two years ago by the city after it purchased the property in late 2005. However, with several major developments in the works, the property could become the city’s newest commercial mecca in the next couple years. Calgary-based Superior Lodgings this spring signed a deal with the city to buy 2.79 acres, which takes up a majority of the property. Vice-president Eric Watson said he is eager to get started building the hotel on the old Co-op lands but hasn’t made the purchase final yet. Federated Co-op, which took over responsibility from the Terrace Co-op for a gas station on the eastern edge of the property, still needs to get it fully cleaned up. Until that happens, the province can’t issue an environmental certificate of compliance, clearing the way for the city to officially subdivide and sell the property. “You can’t get a bank to do the banking without a clean environmental site assessment,” said Watson. Superior’s tentative deal
FOR NOW, empty chairs sit in the old Co-op lands on Greig Ave. If land deals and investments pan out, however, there could be a new hotel and brewery coming soon. with the city is worth $877,500. The planned hotel will have approximately 100 rooms with a swimming pool and some retail. Watson said he wants to begin construction next spring. “We’ve always gone under the premise that we would like to start construction by next spring. “That’s what we would be shooting for. It’s out of our control,” he said. Also in a waiting mode is a local business group which wants to build a pub and brewery on the Co-op lands right across Emerson St. from the Western Financial Group location. The Skeena Brewing Company first announced its plans in April 2012 by saying it
had an option to buy land for $96,000. Of the company’s key backers, Dr. Greg Linton said he gets encouraged every day by people saying they are waiting with parched lips for a first beer. Tentative plans call for its construction and opening by 2015. But before drawing straws to see who’s designated driver, Linton said there is work to be done to finalize the deal. He and business partners Will Spat and Julien Rice are still trying to attract the necessary venture capital to make the brewery plan a reality. In April, the city extended its offer to purchase the lands on 4629 Greig until late October, and Linton and the others
are looking for more investors in order to cement the deal before that time. Linton said the group is more than halfway to the $1.8 million needed for the project. Once the money is in hand, the group will apply for a building permit. Planned pub seating capacity is 45 seats with beer distribution from a 2,000 litre brewery taking place in the region initially before branching out to the rest of the province. “We’re looking in the order of $10,000 to $50,000 investment for people that are interested,” said Linton, adding that there are tax incentives offered by the government. “I am quite hopeful that we will be able to make the deal soon,” he said.
SUNSHINE INN Executive Suites developer Kim Tran recently returned from Florida where he says hotel tours gave him ideas for the hotel he is going to build here in Terrace. “I went to look at new hotels to see what they have and I take these ideas into Terrace,” said Tran. “Now lighting has central control with a very small touch screen for everything,” he continued, highlighting the fact that he wants his Sunshine Inn in Terrace to have up-to-date design features. The developer’s general idea for the development hasn’t changed—it will be a 90-100 room hotel with 13 or 14 condominiums on the top floor and a restaurant on backto-back lots located at 4812
Hwy 16 beside Kalum Tire and 4813 Lazelle Ave. beside the Terrace Bowling Alley. Tran said the engineering of hotels hasn’t changed much in the last 50 years but that trips like this are necessary to keep interior design features from falling behind quickly changing trends. Like the other developments slated for Terrace, there is a lot of technical and bureaucratic legwork Tran still needs to have done. This means waiting for engineering reports to come back before he proceeds to apply for a building permit. And the provincial highways ministry still needs to give the green light to the proposed project because the new building will have an effect on
traffic flow on Hwy16. Engineers are currently finishing a geo-technical study on the site. After the report is prepared, Tran will apply for a building permit and hopes to begin constructing the foundation this fall, although in the case that the permitting takes longer, then construction would begin in March 2014, Tran said. Tran said a construction price tag anywhere from $12 million to $16 million is possible. The condominium sales will appeal to snowbirds who live part of the year down south, said Tran, and the plan was also heralded by city council members at a previous meeting as part of the answer to a shortage in smaller hous-
ing units in Terrace. Tran was successful in getting a regulation change to add a storey for the condo units. The first Sunshine Inn development in Burns Lake opened almost 14 years ago, Smithers followed more than four years ago and the one in Houston is nearing its one year anniversary. At 58 rooms, Smithers is currently the largest Sunshine Inn development so far, soon to be surpassed by the one in Terrace. Tran owns a construction company, and will be doing the general contracting himself once he gets the building permit. In the meantime, Tran will keep adding detail to the plan, and says he has also been looking at Canadian hotels for ideas as well.

Gov’t hopes for Kitsault resolution NEWLY-NAMED provincial aboriginal affairs minister John Rustad hopes direct negotiations with the Nisga’a Lisims Government will help overcome its opposition to a proposed molybdenum mine at Kitsault. Rustad, who spent four days in the region this month, didn’t speak with Nisga’a leaders in the Nass Valley because of time constraints, but said the provincial and the Nisga’a Lisims Government have been working on a way to avoid court action such as the one filed by the Nisga’a over the proposed molybdenum mine. The BC Supreme Court suit alleges the environmental assessment, which led to provincial approval of the open pit plan by Avanti Mines, was unsatisfactory and didn’t fit requirements contained within the 2000 Nisga’a land claims treaty. “We’re hoping that we will be able to resolve this issue fairly quick,” Rustad said. “We actually have been working with Nisga’a around the interpretation of the treaty and how the government-to-government should interact,” Rustad said. “We are hopeful that we now have a mechanism that we can use going forward to avoid this kind of situation.” Although the Kitsault area is not part of the Nisga’a core lands outlined in the treaty with the federal and provincial governments, it is within Nisga’a traditional territory. Avanti officials have been clear all along they’re prepared to defend their interests at Kitsault, saying provincial environmental approval, received this spring, took into account Nisga’a interests. “We’re very confident of the environmental approval process,” said Avanti official Mark Premo. He also said the company remains committed to building a relationship with the Nisga’a Lisims Government, one that would include an agreement outlining benefits that would flow from the mine to the Nisga’a. In the meantime, the federal government has opened up to public comment what it is calling a comprehensive study type environmental assessment for the mine project. Written public comment closes Sept. 22. In other northwestern aboriginal events, Rustad is looking forward to progress on the Kitsumkalum and Kitselas treaty negotiations. Both approved of respective treaty agreements in principle earlier this year as did the provincial government. “We’ve signed onto the agreement in principles and the First Nations have as well. The feds are currently reviewing it and we’re hopeful they will be signing on very shortly,” said Rustad. Once all parties have approved of an agreement in principle, negotiations toward final treaties are expected to take two years. Rustad went on to say that aspects of the Kitselas and Kitsumkalum agreements could be realized sooner than that. “To help support economic development and opportunities for the First Nations, we’ve actually signed interim treaty agreements so land can be transferred and there can be opportunities they can take in advance of getting to final treaty. So our relationship with them is good and I am optimistic we will be getting to treaty once the feds sign on,” said Rustad. LNG development and the prospect of aboriginal benefits flowing from the industry were also high on Rustad’s agenda during his tour of the region.

EDITORIAL
Overpass THE CITY and the provincial transportation ministry are to be congratulated for reaching a solution to the matter of long vehicles using the Frank St. level CN railway crossing. Quick recap: There isn’t enough room between the crossing and Hwy16 for a long vehicle to clear the tracks while waiting until it’s safe to turn onto the highway. Two recent incidents of vehicles blocking the tracks with trains approaching were enough for Transport Canada to order the crossing closed to all traffic. The solution is a set of highway traffic lights similar to what’s now at the Kenney St. railway crossing. Timed to act in concert with CN’s own lights and crossing barriers, this will provide a clear route for trains. It is not, however, an answer to the challenge of more and more trains causing traffic delays at both the Kenney and Frank crossings. That’s going to require a second overpass. It will be expensive but look at the Lower Mainland where the federal and provincial governments are building the South Fraser Perimeter Road, a transport route containing three interchanges and nine overpasses to separate commercial from everyday traffic on local roads. If the federal and provincial governments can put $1.264 billion into the South Fraser project, then an additional overpass here in Terrace, where local traffic issues are every bit as pressing as they are down south, should not be a terribly daunting proposition.

Modern actors mumble too much
often have difficulty understanding dialogue in newer movies despite still enjoying what I believe is excellent hearing. Then a few weeks ago I took to watching re-runs of old movies on Netflix. Dialogue in old movies gives me no trouble whatsoever. I can easily follow the plot and nuances. Comparison of actors’ speech in old and newer movies reveals why. In “Ship of Fools”, for instance, a 1965 movie with Vivien Leigh, Simone Signoret, Lee Marvin, and Jose Ferrer, conversations are easy to comprehend. Even sugar plantation ‘slaves’ crowded into the ship’s hold speak intelligibly though using vernacular. Only one person speaks at a time, and even when whispering sweet nothings into the hair of a love interest manages to be clearly understood, speaking directly to the viewer enunciating as precisely as phoneticist Professor Higgins teaching Eliza Doolittle to adopt a high toned style so she can pass as a well born lady. As an aside, everyone chain smoked but no one dropped a four letter word. So why is it in Clint East-

CLAUDETTE SANDECKI wood’s 2003 movie “Mystic River,” Sean Penn murmurs into his elbow like a cop reporting to dispatch, or aims an interior monologue at his ankles the way Get Smart talked to his shoe? Mimicking Clint Eastwood in a pensive mood, Penn fixes his gaze on an imaginary horizon, squints, and delivers what may be a line integral to the plot if only I could understand what he said. Wikipedia supplies me with the backstory that motivates these characters; otherwise I’d have no idea why Penn hates his daughter’s 19-year-old boyfriend, or why the boyfriend beat up
his two younger brothers. Actors should speak for viewers’ benefit and enjoyment. I feel burdened having to interpret their words and follow the plot with Wikipedia like an immigrant reading an English book with a dual language dictionary at their elbow. Imagine if James Cagney made gangsters guess what he threatened to do to them? Although crime writer Leonard Elmore’s loan shark in “Get Shorty” says, “You never tell the guy what could happen to him. Let him use his imagination; he’ll think of something worse.” Do you suppose today’s moviemakers think we might create a more exciting plot if we are forced to do it ourselves as the movie unfolds? Is incomprehensible dialogue something movie makers’ intend or is it due to actors lack of training? I wistfully recall the clear speech of Lauren Bacall, Barbra Streisand, Ingrid Bergman, Grace Kelly, Audrey Hepburn. Among men, too, the list of easily understood actors is long – John Wayne, Danny Kaye, Bob Hope. How funny would a comedian be if he were telling his third joke before we

got his first? What if Clark Gable had garbled his famous last words, “Frankly, my dear, I don’t give a damn!” Marlon Brando, the top marble mouth, built a film career based on incomprehensibility. Did he mutter to rivet our attention on him longer? Modern movies with their overly loud background sounds, penchant for a flurry of activity and one person talking over another shortchange screenplay writers. Writers slave to craft sparkling dialogue to engage, amuse, bring us to tears. Actors who mumble their lines thwart writers’ efforts. Now that Netflix gives me a wider selection of movies, beyond what I usually bring home from the library, I’m sampling foreign language films with English subtitles. So far they share several traits I favour – a clean presentation with fewer actors; less frenzied; quieter backgrounds; understandable plots. They offer less humour than I look for, but subtitles are easy to read. Claudette Sandecki crafts her own dialogue from her Thornhill home.

young Asian woman who lived with her husband in the next trailer. We ran to higher ground. Thought it was an earthquake, the ground was shifting and breaking up. We stood and watched as nearly all the trailers were washed out into the water. Needless to say we were all in a state of shock.
Dear Sir: I would like to make a few comments on this issue with the Avanti Kitsault mine and the Nisga’a environmental concerns. As a person who has lived and married within the Nisga’a for the past 25 years, and has worked in the Kitsault/Alice Arm area for four years, I feel I have a very good feel of both sides of the situation. Avanti has made a huge investment at this property in the past three to four years, working with the proper governmental agencies and the Nisga’a Nation to get this much needed project off the ground. A project which, I might add, is too employ and train a good number of Nisga’a citizens in secured and good paying careers in an industry very close to home. One of very few in the area, I might add. I’m pretty sure it is not in Avanti’s best interest to carry out shoddy environmental practices – really wouldn’t make very good business sense now would it. It’s in their best interest to get all in line and get this project operational and bringing in revenue for prosperity. These are terms the Nisga’a government can’t comprehend. Investment for prosperity for their people. They want to nitpick a process that has already been approved by our and their provincial government. They may govern themselves but last time I checked they still live in B.C., and thus have to live and respect the laws of this province as we all do. They don’t own the property at Kitsault, haven’t invested a dime in the project. They’ve invested no monies for the road and bridge upgrade, which their people and tourism businesses use. Before Avanti came in the picture, the majority of the road was a goat trail at the best of times.

Kitsault slide remembered
Dear Sir: I lived in Kitsault when the mine first opened. My husband and I were young and newly married at the time. Jim was an apprentice electrician and did a lot of the wiring in the pre-fab houses that were being built. He also worked at the mine. Never seen anyone mention what I am going to share now; we had to leave Kitsault after about a year of living there be-
cause of a major disaster that occurred. Most of the people at that time lived in trailers, they were just in the process of building the pre-fab housing. Our brand new mobile home was put on a lower townsite, the new area for trailers, right by the water. Apparently, years before this time there had been tests done, I believe called perc tests, to see if the area was sta-
ble enough to build a marina. The test came back negative. Not sure how they decided to build the site by dumping tons of fill and earth to accommodate many trailers and people, when they knew that this site was not stable. One day the cat operator jumped off his cat and was running from door to door of the trailers yelling, “Get Out! Run!” I ran next door to grab the
MP Nathan Cullen silent about his wages
W
hat are we to do with, to, or about our Senate? Was it meant to be a chamber of sober second thought or a retirement home for political hamsters? Recent revelations about senators cashing in on the strength of what may, at best, be considered sloppy financial administration, have renewed calls to reform the Senate or to simply abolish it. I do not believe that the problem lies with the idea of a second legislative Senate. The problem is much broader and it lies with our governing institutions. Our federal and provincial governments have expanded the application of confidentiality – secrecy – beyond what is reasonable and justifiable in a democracy. A recent example is the March 25, 2013, meeting of the House of Commons Board of Internal Economy. This board has seven members: four Conservatives, two New Democrats (including Nathan Cullen, my MP), and one Liberal.
The agenda dealt with issues pertinent to compensation for Members of Parliament. The Board approved a 1.6 per cent increase in sessional allowances and salaries as of April 1, 2013, and a six per cent increase for travel status expense accounts. The board’s decisions were made public, eventually, but its deliberations transpired behind closed doors. I learned about the board’s decision from a CBC news report on June 14, 2013. I immediately sent an email to Nathan Cullen asking him to let me know how he had voted on the issues, and to provide a rationale for his voting decisions. By June 22, 2013, my e-mail had not yet been acknowledged, so I followed up with a letter via Canada Post to his Terrace constituency office. In that letter I repeated my two questions, asking further for an explanation as to why such deliberations are made behind closed doors. This letter too remains unanswered. Confidentiality is justified
g u e s t c o mm e n t
ANDRE CARREL when the subjects under discussion concern matters such as national security or a competitive bidding process. But what aspect of the rules governing “Members’ Sessional Allowances and Additional Salaries” and “Travel Status Expenses Account” (to use their formal labels) justifies secret deliberations and voting? Municipal bylaws governing
compensation and expense entitlements for mayors and councillors are debated and voted on in open meetings. Why can’t discussions and votes on compensation and expense entitlements for parliamentarians proceed in the open? Making decisions, in an open meeting, on how much citizens should pay you to represent their views is not comfortable, but openness in such matters is essential to democratic accountability. When deliberations on the subject of compensation and expenses at that level are treated as matters to be kept out of the public realm, a nonchalant attitude to these matters by some Senators should not come as a surprise. The Board of Internal Economy may occasionally need to deal with matters behind closed doors, but parliamentarians’ salaries and expenses are not among them. A political party committed to raise parliamentarians’ accountability to a new level would call on the Board of Internal Econo-
my to open its deliberations to the public. Far too often “If elected we will ...” promises end up in the recycle bin after an election. The citizens’ cynicism about politics has its roots in such broken promises. A promise to pursue greater accountability would gain credence if a party represented on the Board were to refuse to participate in its deliberations unless they are opened to the public. A public declaration of the kind would challenge the government’s obsession with secrecy and, if declared by a party to be a basic democratic principle, the issue could become an influential election issue. This is what I would have suggested to Nathan Cullen if he had bothered to answer my email or my letter. For the record, Mr. Cullen earns $160,200 a year as a Member of Parliament plus $$39,800 as NDP house leader. Andre Carrel is a retired public sector manager now living in Terrace, BC.

Aboriginals focus of mine training AN AGENCY aimed at training First Nations people for expected jobs in potential northwestern mines is setting up shop in Terrace. The BC Aboriginal Mine Training Association (BCAMTA) already ran one training program in the Nass Valley last year and this summer has eight people taking heavy equipment operator simulator and practical experience training. It already has an office in New Aiyansh at the Gitlaxt’aamiks Village Government’s cultural centre from where it ran the simulator portion of the heavy equipment operator course by renting the Northwest Community College’s mobile simulator training unit. The trainees are now getting practical experience at the motocross association’s grounds off of Hwy37 South thanks to another agreement to use college equipment. That the association’s first northwest training sessions were in the Nass Valley is not surprising given that Avanti, with its planned molybdenum mine at Kitsault and Seabridge Gold’s potential gold mine, are on Nisga’a traditional territory. “We go where we’re invited,” says Robert Mills, BCAMTA’s regional manager, of the association’s work. In the case of the heavy equipment operator training program, trainees who did not have other
living arrangements stayed in bed and breakfasts throughout the Nass Valley. In Terrace, trainees are being housed in the college’s student dorms. “We often rely on partners for delivery [of programs],” noted Mills of the college’s ability to provide training equipment, facilities and accommodation. He said the association will work individually with its students, which it calls candidates, to bring them up to an education level, if so required, after which they can be trained for mining work. “We’re certainly focused on each person,” said Mills. One of its three employees in the area, for instance, is Francine Gurney and her title is program coach which reflects the one-on-one nature of the association’s work. “If a training allowance is needed, we’ll provide one. We’ll do whatever it takes to remove barriers [to employment],” said Mills. But as much as the association concentrates on its candidates, it also ensures that programs turn out the kind of trained people needed by mining companies, said Mills. He also acknowledged that while the association trains people for mine work, a lot of the skills it teaches are equally as applicable to other industries. The association, for example, is putting on an environmental technician certificate program in the

It’s opening an office in Terrace. fall in conjunction with another agency also aimed at aboriginal training, The Pacific Trails Pipeline Aboriginal Skills Employment Partnership, which is training people to work in the liquefied natural gas industry. Graduates of the five-week program will receive an accredited post secondary certificate. Mills said the mine training association is also speaking with the Kitsumkalum, Kitselas and other northwest first nations about cook’s helper programs.
The BC Aboriginal Mine Training Association grew out of discussions with mining companies, the Mining Association of BC and the Association of Mineral Exploration BC in 2009 over creating employment opportunities for aboriginals. “The focus was really on demand and supply for employment in traditional territories,” says executive director Laurie Sterritt, who was hired on as the association’s first employee in January 2010.
“It’s a process of assessment and orientation and formal training and the need for technical knowledge. The mining industry has lots of moving parts and is very complex,” she said. Inaugural financing came from a federal training grant and that’s been followed up by a three-year federal commitment of $3.5 million a year. The association has a central office in Vancouver and field offices throughout the province. The association has 2,000 people in training and 580 graduates now employed. A Pricewaterhouse Coopers report prepared for the association found that the wages of graduates rose from an average $13,754 before training to $52,959 afterward. Avanti official Mark Premo said it looked forward to a long-term relationship with BCAMTA and will be making a financial contribution to its work. He said the co-operation between Northwest Community College, the Gitlaxt’aamiks Village Government in New Aiyansh and the association is starting to pay off. “We’re pleased BCAMTA is in the Nass preparing people for long-term jobs,” added Premo. Avanti’s environmental approval from the province for its mine comes with comprehensive conditions which emphasize local employment.

Commercial fishermen disregard food fishery Dear Sir With the recent announcement in regard to DFO being forced to close the fishing season, I have been left to review what I know about families and their food supply. The northwest is an area where community members and their families depend on fish stock. There are also many community members who make trips from cities such as Vancouver or Victoria in order to can sockeye for the winter season.
I have seen families who go out on their little boats to get a day’s worth of fish. Some families who don’t have a boat even go out to check their net by pulling the net in with just their personal strength. Although I do understand and feel concern in regard to the low number of fish that have been reported, I feel at a loss at what can be done about the lower return. I have to wonder, just how and what can we do to regulate the Alaskan fisherman.

Nisga’a need mine revenue
If I’m not mistaken, Avanti has committed monies to the Nisga’a nation for their environmental assessment and mine training program. No problem with Avanti there, eh. I hope the Nisga’a government keeps spending their peoples’ monies on litigation and court trips to the big lights on minute issues that have rustled a few feathers. They have mastered this process of wasting their peoples’ monies over the past 10 years. Frankly, the majority of the Nisga’a Nation are tired of the monies wasted within this government. The majority want to work and have job security in an industry, not a project that will come through and last only a couple years. Get on with it already. Check your overpaid egos at the door and get down to business and get people working on this project. You need the tax revenue from your people working in these mining jobs to run your government and your four villages because in the past 10 years you have spent millions of your peoples’ monies and have created no growth industry whatsoever for your people to prosper. If the Nisga’a government wanted to run the Kitsault area their way, they should have had the foresight to purchase the mine and the entire town of Kitsault. Amax offered it to them. Oops, I forgot. They would have had to actually made an investment. Gregg Cavagnaro, Terrace, BC

Kitsault slide
No one was hurt thankfully. All the kids were at school at the time. A strange thing that happened was that most of the domestic dogs and cats, a few days before this happened, all took off into the bush. Thought for sure that our cat was dead, as there was a lot of bears, wolverine, etc. in the area. Was so happy, when a few days after the event, most of the cats and dogs came wandering back out of the bush! They must have all banded together in order to stay safe. So, my experience living in Kitsault wasn’t a great one. It did teach me a good lesson, possessions mean nothing. People are what is important in this life. My name at that time was Terry Waller, my then-husband’s name was Jim. Anyone else remember this? Teresa Shore, Parksville, BC
Aaron Hill from the Watershed Watch Salmon Society and others from other groups have published letters expressing their concern that the Alaska fishery is causing even greater harm. Aaron Hill reported that “the Alaskan commercial fisheries are
still going right across the border and hammering these fish.” Commercial fisherman such as these are only thinking about the future in relation to their wallets and giving no heed to the future of our fish stock. Mary-Ann Speirs, Hazelton, BC

RE-ELECTED SKEENA NDP MLA Robin Austin looks over results election night May 14 with son Graeme and wife Colleen.
Liberals outspend NDP in election ROBIN AUSTIN was re-elected as the NDP MLA for Skeena in the May 2013 provincial election but wasn’t the one who spent the most money during the campaign. Austin spent $40,633 on his campaign and received a total of $41,232 in political contributions from the public and the BC NDP, according to his election financing report, a requirement of all candidates who ran in the 2013 provincial election. BC Liberal candidate Carol Leclerc spent $67,472.87 and received a total of $81,625.38 in political contributions. BC Conservative candidate Mike Brousseau failed to file his financial report by the deadline of August 12 and has until September 11 to file it along with a $500 fine. BC Party candidate Trevor Hendry only spent $250, which was his nomination deposit. In comparison, the North Coast Liberal and NDP candidates had vastly different amounts of contributions from their provincial parties compared to the Skeena riding. Rookie North Coast NDP MLA Jennifer Rice received $48,736 from the party whereas Robin Austin received $37,038.
Carol Leclerc And the opposite was true for the Liberals with Leclerc receiving $72,625.38 while North Coast Liberal candidate Judy Fraser received $27,425.88. According to Mike McDonald, BC Liberal party campaign director, the reason for the difference is that Leclerc was nominated as a candidate in September 2012 and got her campaign off to an earlier start, while Fraser didn’t start her campaign until April 2013. “I think part of it is the lead time involved,” said McDonald. “I think part of it is the Skeena riding had an active nomination race. There was some momentum there believing the Liberals could win there and Carol came very close. The North Coast did a great job considering when they started.” If Fraser had started
her campaign at the same time as Leclerc, she may not necessarily have received the same amount of financial help from the party. “I think time and I think money can be overrated as to the impact it has on an election. The party supports candidates in different ways,” said McDonald. On the Elections BC financial report, for Leclerc, it states the balance in her campaign account as of the date of the report was $17,910.51 and for Fraser it was $13,751.02. That money is held in trust for the individual riding and can be used for whatever the riding deems appropriate. Austin still had $4,943 in his account and Rice had $9,190. Mike Brousseau couldn’t be reached for comment by the end of last week. Elections BC communications coordinator Andrew Watson said that candidates are contacted to ensure they’re aware of the deadline and receive a reminder as the deadline approaches. A few candidates applied for extensions due to extenuating circumstances and did so before the deadline, he added. The late filing fee goes into the public accounts for the provincial government.

CHANGES are coming to BC Transit’s service covering Terrace and area.
Bus route to service college STUDENTS and staff will soon have an express bus route to take them to and from the Northwest Community College campus during peak hours. The new route #6 will go from downtown up Lanfear Drive to McConnell and then circle down to Kalum Lake Road to Mountain Vista and back downtown. Service will be provided during peak hours. This is one of several recommendations that came out of a review of Terrace’s bus system by BC Transit that wrapped up August 20 at a city council committee of the whole meeting. Visiting BC Transit official Todd Dupuis presented council and staff with his final recommendations of bus routing changes to the city which will be up for adoption at the next regular council meeting August 26. Dupuis said that the most recent public consultation found that “there was a lot of confusion at the user level” and the new routing will solve some of the irregularities. This includes several changes to Terrace’s current five routes as well as the creation of the new express route servicing Northwest Community College. Here are the highlights listed in the meeting: • The #1 College/Halliwell route will now run in both directions, with the portion along Halliwell from Thomas to Kalum Lake Drive no longer in service. • The #2 route will now follow Sparks St. through town instead of Kalum. • The #3 will be reversed to allow easy access to a new stop at the UNBC campus on Keith Ave. • The #4 Queensway/Gitaus will now include service to Walmart and the Real Canadian Superstore. • The #5 to Thornhill will have a minor change in direction in one segment to make travel time shorter. • Routes running by Walmart and Real Canadian Wholesale Club will have stops there. Dupuis said that BC Transit needs a minimum of 10 weeks to create new schedules and arrange the new routing. While the new schedule will attempt to make service better to Gitaus and Thornhill, there was no new money budgeted by the city so there is no additional service to these routes. Council and staff pegged early January as a good time for implementation and director of public works Rob Schibli said he would like to make any sign post moves before snowfall and freezing.

• Watch for pedestrians and slow down when approaching a crosswalk. • Always yield to pedestrians. • Drivers must stop for school buses when lights flashing. • If you see another car stopped at a crosswalk, there’s probably a pedestrian crossing. • Drop kids off in a safe spot, away from intersections and traffic. • Remember that this is an exciting time for children, and they may have forgotten their road safety rules; therefore, drivers must pay extra attention.
TIPS FOR WALKERS • • • •
Obey all signs and traffic signals. Wear bright-colored clothing. Look left, right, and left again before crossing. Make eye contact with drivers before crossing, so you know that they see you.

River Kings enjoy home ice early in the season
IT’S TIME to start getting excited about the coming men’s senior Central Interior Hockey League (CIHL) season and marking must-see games on the calendar. Terrace’s CIHL team, the River Kings, will have the benefit of home ice appearances in the early party of the season. Although its first regular season game takes place in Kitimat against the Ice Demons on Oct. 5, the team is back at home for the rest of the month. That home stretch begins Oct. 12 with a game against last season’s Coy Cup winners, the Williams Lake Stampeders, followed by rematch the next day. The River Kings then play the Prince Rupert Rampage on Oct. 19 and are then up against the Ice Demons again on Nov. 1. The team then heads east for a game against the Houston Luckies on Nov. 9 and takes to the road again against the Smithers Steelheads on Nov. 16. Smithers returns the favour by travelling to Terrace on Nov. 30 while Houston is here on Dec. 1. The team takes its first lengthy road trip of the season with a trip to the Cariboo, playing in Lac la Hache on Dec. 7 and in Williams Lake on Dec. 8.
A break then follows with a return to home ice on Dec. 13 when Kitimat makes the short trip north on that day while Prince Rupert makes a short trip east of its own to make an appearance on Dec. 14. A two-week Christmas break then occurs although the players may still be digesting turkey and stuffing on Dec. 28 for a game in Smithers against the Steelheaders. Prince Rupert is the next location when the Kings travel there on Jan. 3. The same teams return to the ice with a game back here in Terrace on Jan. 4. The team closes out the regular season in the Cariboo with a game on Jan. 11 against Lac La Hache and one the next day against the Stampeders. Practices for returning players began Aug. 20. While players are tuning up for the season, the team itself has issued a call for financial assistance. “As we move forward into the 2013/2014 season, it is with foreboding that this may be the last year the team is able to compete if our fortunes do not improve,” reads a notice being circulated. It says the team plays a role in not only providing entertaining hockey but in giving graduating minor hockey players a venue to keep playing.

NOTicE Of SchEDUlED POWER OUTAGE SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, 2013 6:00 AM TO 6:00 PM
Skeena North, made up of Norm Dejarlais and Rene Therrien, will be performing at the Skeena Valley Fall Fair. Here they are at the McLeese Lake Metis Jamboree in Williams Lake recently.
Fall fair features fun with beds and goats THERE’S BED races, goat nuggets and music at the Skeena Valley Fall Fair coming up soon. Bed Racing invites everyone to have fun creating, decorating and racing a bed with a garden theme. Trophies will be awarded for fastest bed and all teams will be eligible for best costumes awards. Teams can consist of three, four or five people and one person must ride in the bed at all times during the race. Two times during the race the rider must switch with another team member and perform a stunt. Three different people must take turns riding the
bed. Races start Sept. 7 at 2:30 p.m. The Goat Nugget Drop is a variation on last year’s Cow Patty Drop. Purchase a square on a grid in the field where you think the goat will drop its nugget. On Sept. 8, a goat will be released and wherever the nugget drops, the person who signed that square wins the prize. For something more mellow, there’s musical entertainment thru the weekend, including Copper Mountain String Band, Six Gun Logic, Skeena North, Chase Waters and many more. For more details on these and other events, see skeenavalleyfallfair.com.
BC Hydro will be performing extensive repairs to the power system which will affect the following communities: Telkwa, Smithers, Moricetown, New Hazelton, Hazelton, South Hazelton, Gitanmaax, Kispiox, Glen Vowell, Hagwilget, Gitsegukla, Gitwangak, Gitanyow, Cedarvale, Two Mile, Woodcock and Kitwanga. This major outage will also affect travellers from Prince George enroute to Smithers/Terrace/Prince Rupert/ Kitimat or Stewart. This major outage will also affect westbound travelers expecting fuel and or services in any of these communities. BC Hydro encourages customers to turn off all appliances and electronics-especially portable heaters during this outage. Customers should limit opening of fridges and freezers during outage as well. When power is restored, it is advised to wait one hour before multiple appliances are used, to allow the system to stabilize. BC Hydro thanks customers and the public for their patience and understanding - crews will endeavour to work as quickly and safely as possible. For information customers can contact BC Hydro at 1 888 POWERON (1 888 769 3766).

Terrace safer according to crime index

NEWS
TERRACE APPEARS to be a safer city in which to live during the last year than even two years ago according to the latest Statistics Canada crime severity index. Terrace came in at 19th for overall crime severity based on 297 police services for communities of more than 10,000 population for 2012. On last year’s report, which was for 2011, Terrace ranked 10th. Of B.C. locations included in the latest report, Terrace is the 8th highest city in the province. Williams Lake, at No. 3, is the highest ranking B.C. city on the list for the second year in a row now and Comox on Vancouver Island was the safest city in the province, ranking 286th. Prince Rupert ranked 8th, same as last year. When divided into violent crime and non-violent crime, Terrace ranked 22nd and 17th, respectively. In comparison, Williams Lake is ranked 2nd and 3rd, respectively and Prince Rupert 7th and 13th, respectively. Terrace RCMP media relations officer Const. Angela Rabut says a number of factors have to be considered. “Moving from 10th to 19th is a positive step. More data is needed for a more accurate snapshot of Terrace’s

crime. When Stats Canada releases its stats on crime rates, [we] will be able to provide a more detailed comment. As stated last year, the crime severity index can be misleading on its own,” said Rabut. Last year, Terrace RCMP detachment commander Inspector Dana Hart said statistics can be interpreted in a number of ways and any changes in the crime severity index or crime rate could be due to the number of people reporting crimes in a year or more crimes being solved by police. Statistics Canada started keeping track of the Crime Severity Index in 2009, saying it addressed the amount

of crime but also its severity. The index also shows whether crime is more or less serious than in previous years and whether reported crime is more or less serious than in other places. Previously this year, Hart reported to city council that cases of public intoxication were a growing issue for public peace and safety, and after a large number of break and enters in July he said that property theft continues to be a problem. Two break and enter perpetrators were recently caught, one of whom has already been convicted. Overall these recent statistics suggest improvement.

Erb thanked for support A generous donation from Bob Erb this past winter enabled the Greater Terrace Beautification Society to carry out a number of community improvement projects this year. With Erb’s donation, the group decided to have the four Welcome to Terrace signs improved with a beautiful river rock finish on their bases. The donation was also used to refinish the sign along Highway 37 at the airport. The Welcome to Terrace signs were originally a class project for the Leadership BC program, which ran in Terrace in 2008/2009. The program ended before the bases could be finished. These improvements have gone a long way towards seeing the signs completed. Erb’s donation has also let the beautification society, in conjunction with the Regional District of Kitimat-Stikine, rejuvenate the northwest corner at the fourway stop in Thornhill. The steep slope at this location was difficult for the regional district staff and society volunteers to maintain and the existing plants were

Proud supporters of skeena Valley Fall Fair 2013
The Skeena Valley Fall Fair Organizing Committee is thrilled to be back for 2013. After six years without our region’s beloved Fall Fair, we staged a comeback last fall. We’d started with nothing except the enthusiasm and talents of many individuals, community groups and businesses, and it was a huge success. This year, 2013’s Fall Fair—September 6, 7 and 8— offers even more for and from our community, emphasized by our theme, “Celebrate Local”. We’ll have musical groups playing Saturday and Sunday; the Saddle Club is hosting a horse show; we’ve expanded our exhibit categories and this year we’ve opened livestock entries in birds and rabbits. Our site has expanded to include Thornhill Jr. High School Gym so that exhibits, demonstrations and vendors can display under cover. We’ve increased our daily offerings: many more fun, interesting and silly events for children and adults. We invite you to come out and enjoy the fruits of our community’s labours — see you there!

Proud supporters of skeena Valley Fall Fair 2013
The Skeena Valley Fall Fair Organizing Committee is thrilled to be back for 2013. After six years without our region’s beloved Fall Fair, we staged a comeback last fall. We’d started with nothing except the enthusiasm and talents of many individuals, community groups and businesses, and it was a huge success. This year, 2013’s Fall Fair—September 6, 7 and 8— offers even more for and from our community, emphasized by our theme, “Celebrate Local”. We’ll have musical groups playing Saturday and Sunday; the Saddle Club is hosting a horse show; we’ve expanded our exhibit categories and this year we’ve opened livestock entries in birds and rabbits. Our site has expanded to include Thornhill Jr. High School Gym so that exhibits, demonstrations and vendors can display under cover. We’ve increased our daily offerings: many more fun, interesting and silly events for children and adults. We invite you to come out and enjoy the fruits of our community’s labours — see you there!

Man sought for ‘creeping’ and grabbing women TERRACE RCMP are looking for a man they believe may be responsible for three separate incidents of creeping and grabbing woman last earlier this month. Early Friday morning, August 16, a young woman was walking home towards Thornhill at approximately 1 a.m. and had just crossed the bridges on Hwy 16 when a man approached her from the bushes near the grassy area of the four-way stop, reported police Aug. 19. The man came towards the woman and when she started to run, he gave chase, caught her just past the weigh scales on Hwy 16 and grabbed her by the arm. She managed to fight him off and ran to the nearest gas station for help. That same day at approximately 7 p.m., a man approached a young woman who was walking with friends on Lakelse Ave. away from Marks Work Warehouse towards Safeway. He spoke with the woman then reached out to grab her breast. A friend stepped in the way and told the man to leave. He complied. A third incident occurred early Monday morning, August 19 when a woman was walking on Old Lakelse Lake Dr. at approxi-
mately 4 a.m. and was followed by a man driving a small white car with a spoiler and red and blue lights on the dash. The man stopped her repeatedly and asked, then demanded, that she
possibly East Indian, has puffy cheeks, is about 30-years-old, 6 feet tall, medium build, short dark hair, is clean shaven, and has very calloused hands. In the first incident that occurred in down-
town Terrace, he was wearing a blue polo shirt with white pants. In the second incident on Hwy 16, he was wearing a long sleeved black shirt, beige shorts, and black shoes with white stripes.
If you have information about this crime, contact the Terrace RCMP at 250-6387400 or anonymously through Crime Stoppers by telephone at 1-800222-TIPS, online at www.terracecrimestop-
pers.ca or by texting TERRACE plus your message to 274637 (CRIMES). If your information leads to an arrest, you may be eligible for a cash reward of up to $2,000.
A deal to make you jump for joy.
Court orders hefty fine A DRUG conviction will cost a local man a hefty fine. Peter Timothy Unruh will pay a $2,000 fine after pleading guilty to one charge of possession of marijuana for the purpose of trafficking from earlier this year Aug. 19 in provincial court here. He has until March 2014 to pay it and a $300 victim fine surcharge. Unruh is also prohibited from owning or possessing firearms for 10 years, will have to give a DNA sample to police and forfeit items seized by police.

Airport to be busy place in fall THE AIRPORT is going to be at least as busy this fall and winter as it is this summer with the traditionally higher travel volumes that come from vacation travel and industrial activity. Hawkair’s fall and winter schedule contains the same number of flights to Vancouver in place now and WestJet’s arrival the end of November adds two weekday flights to Vancouver. And although Air Canada Jazz, which added a fifth flight from Vancouver to Terrace which arrives late at night and leaves early the next morning, still hasn’t released its fall and winter plans, Northwest Regional Airport manager Carman Hendry notes passengers will have lots of travel options. “Oh, definitely. Our capacity will increase,” said Hendry. WestJet Encore’s Q400 aircraft has a capacity of 78 people, he noted. As it is, the airport marked another record passenger month in July with 16,831 arrivals and departures, a clear 2,101 increase over June and 4,149 more than July 2012. Up to the end of July, the airport tallied 92,163 arrivals or departures, nearly 15,000 more compared to the end of July 2012.
Hendry said the introduction by Hawkair of a Terrace-Prince George-Calgary service this summer has helped boost numbers. The airline is running the service in conjunction with partner airline Central Mountain Airlines. That company had been flying a 19-passenger aircraft from Terrace to Prince George but the new service features a Hawkair Dash 8 which can carry twice as many passengers. WestJet’s Robert Palmer said the company through its Encore regional arm was looking forward to its Terrace schedule. “We do appreciate that there is considerable interest in the new service and we are very excited to be coming to Terrace,” he said. “Guests are booking flights on the new route and we are pleased with what we are seeing so far.” WestJet’s arrival has been anticipated for some time with Terrace being mentioned as a destination as it developed plans for its Encore service aimed at smaller centres. It invited Northwest Regional Airport airport officials to Calgary, along with people from other smaller centres, in order to make a sales pitch. Hendry said the airport offered no financial

westjet’s regional carrier called Encore will be using new Dash Q-400s when it begins a Terrace to Vancouver service in November. inducement to WestJet to set up shop in Terrace. “There was no way we could offer any kind
of deal,” he said. “When we had our meeting we said that and if they want to come, they were wel-
come. And they did come.” Unlike other airports, the local one does not charge airlines land-
ing fees, Hendry continued. Instead it charges passengers an amount for arrivals or depar-
tures – $14. The airport will consider offering an airline an inducement to service Terrace but only if the airline wants to establish a new route. “In this case, Terrace-Vancouver is not a new route,” said Hendry of WestJet service. The increase in flights means the airport will have to hire several more people simply because it will be open longer, up to 21 hours a day, he said. That’s particularly important in winter months for late evening or early morning flights as airport workers will have to make sure the runway is clear, Hendry added. While the increase in passenger traffic means an increase in airport revenues, Hendry added a cautionary note. The more money an airport makes, the less it will receive from a federal improvement assistance program.

Kids solve murder at camp with cops
TERRACE RCMP PHOTO
terrace rcmp auxiliary constable and search and rescue volunteer Dwayne Sheppard teaches youths the dos and don’ts of rescuing a drowning person at the Kids ‘n’ Kops camp.
young people solved crimes, learned self-defence and shot targets among a variety of other activities at the second annual Kids ‘n’ Kops camp Aug. 12 to 16. The week-long series of activities was designed to introduce the workings of the RCMP to local young people. And the criminal in the mock crime did not get away. “Each group solved the murder and arrested the greedy murderess,” says Terrace RCMP community policing and media relations officer Const. Angela Rabut. “It was a great team effort.” Terrace RCMP, together with Terrace and District Community Services Society’s Big Brothers Big Sisters of Terrace, showed the young people various aspects of an RCMP officer’s job, said Rabut. In addition to investigating a crime scene at Ferry Island, selfdefence training, firearms safety and target shooting with the
Terrace Rod and Gun Club, the youths participated in an example of the RCMP Physical Abilities Requirement Evaluation (PARE) test, learned techniques for reducing stress, took tours of the courthouse and fire department and rescued a person from the water with Terrace Search and Rescue. The kids also took on the cops in a water gun standoff at Lakelse Lake followed by a celebration barbecue where everyone received a participation certificate and a gift from the Terrace RCMP. “The goal of this camp was to build positive relationships with youth and show them what police officers do,” said Rabut. “A police officer’s number one responsibility is to protect and preserve life. That was a common topic of discussion in all that we did throughout the week.” It was such a success last year that it welcomed 21 youths this year, up from 12 last year thanks to increased financing, she added.
Air cadet awarded for hard work this summer Air cadet Zachary Gordon of 747 Squadron in Terrace received a Most Improved Award during the fifth and final graduation parade for Albert Head Cadet Training Centre (CSTC). As part of the award, he received an engraved plaque as well as a Leatherman multi-purpose tool. A Most Improved Cadet Award was selected from each flight (i.e. class of about 25 cadets), and takes into account overall improvement in the areas of performance, participation, attitude, conduct, and teamwork skills. Gordan completed the threeweek Basic Survival Course (BSC), where the air cadets learned how to react when an emergency situation arises and they do not have access to the normal comforts of home. More than teaching teens how to camp, the Basic Survival Course provided hand-on exposure to primitive outdoor living skills, how to aid in a rescue as well as how to be rescued. The teens learned how to problem-solve under adverse conditions, including hunger and isolation, under stress and with a lack of sleep. The cadets learned how to push their personal boundaries, a transferrable life skill that can be applied to any situation, regardless of the life path they choose after they leave the cadet program. The course’s 52 cadets learned from municipal and federal experts
in urban and ground search and rescue, and during the final exercise, endured four days in the woods, building their own shelters, preparing their own food and collecting their own water in teams of two, all the while being isolated from the world and without any electronic devices. During their three-week course, the teens – the majority between 13 and 15 years of age – lived separately from the rest of the 350 cadets on course at Albert Head, sleeping in large tents in a wooded area. Gordan received his awards during a unique parade where more than 200 cadets graduated from a variety of three- and six-week courses in areas such as aviation technology and aerospace, sports and fitness, and survival. With The Honourable Judith Guichon, Lieutenant Governor of British Columbia as Reviewing Officer, the graduates treated guests and spectators to calisthenics, music, and drill routines that they had choreographed themselves. There are approximately 30 air cadets with the Terrace squadron, 12 of which completed courses at the Metchosin-based provincial training facility. During the 2013 summer training period (July 8 to Aug. 16), more than 900 cadets completed courses at Albert Head CSTC, while a staff of 170 provided supervision and instruction.

T
he other day, in a bit of a funk, I turned to my journal, figuring some random ranting might soothe my itchy impatience, unrest, and sluggishness. This annoying, conflicting state hits me every so often: I want something to happen, to be accomplished, to be different—but I feel too lazy to work or do much of anything. Do you relate? Have goals and dreams that you don’t always work toward, that you beat yourself up for not accomplishing, even while you fritter time away time on stupid stuff? (Facebook games, perhaps? Argh, the time suckage!) Anyway, I opened my spiral bound notebook, a tattered, sadly neglected thing this summer, and what had I scrawled as the last entry? Not a flowing stream-of-consciousness ramble. Not a to-do list (one of my favourite pastimes—creating, not necessarily fulfilling, to-do lists!). Not an idea for a story or an informal essay about something I was thinking on . . . A quote. And what a quote! So weirdly timely, as if back on June 20th, I knew the glorious sun would leave in mid-August, fall would descend early and heavy with rain . . . and I would be in need of something inspiring, encouraging, motivating. Twenty years from now, you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones that you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbour. Catch the wind in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover. ~ Mark Twain I rewrote the words to myself (Ev, twenty years from now . . . ), signed the letter (From, Mark Twain), then stuck it
JUST A THOUGHT
EV BISHOP
A Note from Mark Twain on my wall above my monitor. I smelled salt water, felt the breeze—and thought, Ah, he nailed the cause of my malaise— exactly. I’m a bit of a psycho about things I’m passionate about, as you may or may not have deduced from my columns over the years, but passions go awry if you don’t put your time and heart into them. They don’t leave you altogether; they just nag at your subconscious, causing angst, making you restless until you get back to them. Busy the past year (with things that, to be fair to myself, legitimately demanded time, burned physical and mental energy, and took an emotional toll), I let myself fall into the trap of putting off things that I know I need to do, desper-
ately want to do, and derive a huge sense of satisfaction and well-being from. And for a while that’s fine. Is understandable. Is life. But after a time . . . Well, the conviction I should be working on something but instead I’m playing Bubble Pop Battle ‘til my hand cramps up kind of drives me around the bend. So what am I doing about Twain’s friendly warning? I’m remembering that 20 years will fly by—and that at 60 (and at 70 and at 80—and today!) I want to be able to say that I gave my goals my best shot, that maybe my progress occurred in fits and spurts, but I was steady. I took risks. I tried. Years ago, when my children were small, Thomas Moore’s famous line, “The best of all ways to lengthen our days is to steal a few hours from the night,” was my mantra. Later, when I was teaching, I wrote early mornings. And after that, for a few luxurious years, I wrote during regular workday hours. And now? In light of my letter from Mark? I’m back to early mornings. It’s not natural for me. At all. But I’m finding the quiet hours very lovely. And very productive. As with late nights, the world is different when everyone else is asleep. Dreams are closer to consciousness. More seems possible. Perhaps pretending Mark Twain penned you a personal note isn’t something you’d find especially motivating, but his message is pertinent for us all. Time moves quickly. What is it you should be doing now? What trips are you planning? What tasks need tackling, or classes should you register for? Or do you need to steer into something entirely new. So go on, do it. Sail away from safe harbour . . . Explore. Dream. Discover.

Local cop scores silver at world games By MARGARET SPEIRS A TERRACE RCMP officer brought home a silver medal from the World Police and Fire Games in her first time there. Kendra Felkar played rugby on Team Canada West at the event in Belfast, Ireland and was the only B.C. player, and one of only two RCMP members, on the squad. “It was pretty cool. It was neat to win a medal and win a medal playing rugby with the team of incredible women in law enforcement and firefighting,” she said. “It was a really good team. We gelled really fast and we all got along.” The team played six games over two days with few substitute players as they only had seven players. She said she’d like to think the team came close to winning the gold medal in its final game against Garda, the Irish home team, who won 24-7. “It was an amazing experience and really, really cool to play rugby on another country’s soil on another continent,” said Felkar. “[There were] amazing facilities and the people over there were so kind and just amazing.” Women’s rugby is only in its second year at the games. Felkar ended up on the team after finding the woman who introduced women’s rugby at the previous games and who asked her why she hadn’t played on the team before. “Because I had no idea it existed,” said Felkar about why. She emailed back and forth and was asked to come out to join the team. She wasn’t able to play in any of the team’s warmup tournaments but she’s been playing rugby for seven years and coached the last three or four years. Felkar is thinking about going to the next games in two years, which will be in Fairfax, Virginia.

Hess wins bronze at worlds By MARGARET SPEIRS A LOCAL mixed martial arts athlete returned from the world competition with a bronze medal. Mitchell Hess competed in Continuous Sparring for Team Canada at the World Organization of Martial Arts Athletes’ World Martial Games XIV in Dublin, Ireland and said it went well. “I’m happy. You know, this is something that it’s a world competition, you should be happy if you even placed,” he said, adding that going into the competition, he was hoping for gold or even to be in the top 10. Hess, 16, was invited to join Team Canada after winning a gold medal in Brazilian Jujitsu at the Tigerbalm International Tournament in North Vancouver earlier this year. The competition is a lot rougher at worlds compared to here where people don’t really want to hit you hard as they just want to play, but in worlds, the opponents are serious, he said. “I ended up doing one [bout]. I got kicked in the throat twice,” he said, about his bronze medal winning
bout. “It’s not legal but it just kind of happened. He (the opponent) got penalized for it.” After the medal win, Hess took on some coaching responsibility as the staff was a bit shorthanded, he said. “I went around to the younger guys and helped coach them a bit. They did pretty well,” he said. “One of the guys I’m pretty close to ended up getting gold and the other silver.” He was a bit nervous to be coaching for his first time, not wanting to say the wrong thing. “You’re kind of in control of what their mindset is before they go into the next one (fight),” he said. Team Canada invited Hess to go to Spain for next year’s world competition too, but he’s not sure yet if he’ll be going as it can be expensive. There’s also a few open competitions in Alberta he’s considering going to later this year – they’re jujitsu-based, which is his passion. “I’d do more training for these ones because I don’t know what I’d be up against,” he said about the Alberta competitions.

Derby girls pumped for first home bout By MARGARET SPEIRS ITS A Night of the Living Derby as the North Coast Nightmares host their first bout at home this Saturday. The team takes on Dawson Creek’s Mile Zero Mercy in a bout that promises hard hits, excitement for the spectators and a few extras at the sportsplex. “We are feeling pretty prepared. We have been practising three days a week for the last couple of weeks,” said team member Tarea Roberge, aka Dream Warrior. “We have put a lot of blood, sweat and tears into this team, and now that our chance to blow people’s minds has finally come, we are not going to disappoint. Expect big hits, fast jams and expect to leave in love with this game.” Spectators are encouraged to make cheesy homemade signs to cheer the team on, with the best one to win a prize, said Roberge. Fans are also asked to cheer hard and loud to help calm the team’s nerves and help psyc out the other team, she added. A lot more goes into a game that people notice: Mile Zero Mercy is coming all the way from Dawson Creek and referees are coming from all over the province, said Roberge.
NORTH COAST NIGHTMARES PHOTO
the north Coast Nightmares are ready to roll in their first home bout at the sportsplex Aug. 31. Those who aren’t familiar with roller derby will have some help understanding the game and what’s happening by checking out the information in the game program, she said. “The spectators at the game can expect a sport like they’ve never seen around here before,” she said. And having the bout here means a lot to the team for the chance it
gives the community to see firsthand the sport of roller derby and to thank the sponsors for their support, she said. “As well as show off how hard we have been working for the last couple years to make it possible,” she said. The team is looking to get more players and referees after the game, she added. And as extras, spectators will
get to see a 19+ tricycle race, children can win prizes in the “push a derby girl race” and fans have a chance to win a trip.. And then there’s the after party, a tradition in roller derby. “It’s universal in roller derby, the love of the game, the respect of the opposing team and the ability to have a beer with the girl whose socks you knocked off just an hour
earlier,” said Roberge. Game ticket stubs are free entry into the after party. Those who don’t have a ticket stub will have to pay a small cover charge. People can check out the team’s facebook event page for more and details about the team members,’ including their derby names. For more information on the bout, see City Scene on page 24.
Wild descent returns to the mountain
THE MCBIKE Wild Descent returned this year to welcome an impressive number of under-18 riders. Twenty-six riders came out to take on the best two runs out of three on Packhorse at Copper Mountain. Ten riders were under 18. “We had lots of young riders. That was what was really impressive for me, anyway,” said Bruce Martindale, organizer of the race. A race like this requires a substantial in-

y dog wants to play with everyone and everything. Last Fall, she came across a mouse on the Copper River Flats. Before I could do anything, she was tossing the poor creature into the air. Leave it! I yelled, racing toward her but by the time I got to them, the poor little rodent had died of shock and Oona was tapping it the way cats bat prey with their paws as if trying to revive it so that their play might resume. Something similar must have happened when she met her first porcupine between some of the logs that make up the expansive jam at the bottom of Finlay’s Reach at Shames. My previous mutt, Pawsome, and my sled dog, Chimo, before her, had both attempted to devour the first porcupines they’d met. Both returned with their muzzles bristling with quills, and both had cost me a few hundred dollars to be de-quilled by Dr. Elorza. Fortunately, on their next encounters with the prickly rodents, neither dog sought vengeance, choosing instead to keep their distance and bark viciously. The quills in Oona’s chest and forelegs betray the fact that she must have attempted to play with the porky. Thanks to her poodle-like curls, the quills in her chest didn’t penetrate enabling me to pluck them off like burrs. The four on her fore legs
vestment and young people are saving their money and doing these kinds of races, said Martindale. Nine cyclists competed in the men’s open category, four in the masters and two in the women’s open. Nik Berndt of Kitimat won the mens open with a combined time on two runs of 5:28. Matt Kenny followed in second with 5:54 and Paul Bertrand came in third with 5:56. Both are from Terrace.
Brendan Burnett won the U18 with 5:42, Joey Parkes was second with 6:10 and Eric Jonkman of Kitimat came third with 6:12. Smithers’ Dave Walter won the masters with a time of 6:07 followed by Martindale at 6:17 and Ken Parkes at 6:52. In what she said was her first wild descent, Crystal Thomas won the women’s open with 10:28 and Cindy Allen followed with 12:21.

backpack, I give him the privilege of packing three of the fish. As we’re making our way across the cobbled side channel toward the Shames, a bear ambles leisurely out of the woods a hundred metres or so down the channel. Check it out, I say. And there’s another one, says Conner, pointing to another black bear that has improbably emerged from the bush well below its cousin and has begun to swim the Shames. Oona spots the first bruin and is after it like she’s been shot from a cannon. Surprisingly, she doesn’t bark. The bear turns with a start, sees a creature the same hue as her hurtling toward it and scrambles back from whence it came. I whistle loudly. Oona veers to her left and lopes back to Connor and me. By the time she’s returned, the second bear is crawling ashore. She notices the second bear and bolts toward it too, leaping into the water and paddling to the same bank as the shocked bruin. It’s a repeat performance. I whistle. The bear disappears into the brush. I whistle, louder this time to compensate for the distance. Oona turns and trots back. Good girl! I tell her. I guess she gets a passing grade in black bear 101, I tell Connor. But, on the way back, I wonder what would have happened if we’d encountered a sow and a cub.

Canucks coming to north coast By SHAUN THOMAS
THE STARS of the Vancouver Canucks are coming to the North Coast early next month, giving fans a chance to see some of their sports heroes up close and personal. “It is only going to be people who have played games for us, so Dan Hamhuis, Kevin Bieksa, David Booth, Alex Burrows, Roberto Luongo, Alex Edler, the Sedins, Jannik Hansen, Zack Kassian, Jason Garrison, Ryan Kesler, Chris Higgins, Dale Weise, Andrew Alberts, those are the guys that are going to be there,” said Canucks general manager Mike Gillis. “I think guys are really exited about it. I’m really excited about it. We have such tremendous support throughout the province of British Columbia and due to the hectic schedule year-to-year we don’t have a lot of opportunities to get out into some of the more remote communities and interact with people. “I would certainly like to do more of it going forward ... as an organization we think it is vitally important that we try and connect the best we can with our fans.”
Along with meeting fans, the team will be doing some fishing off Haida Gwaii, something Gillis said is part of getting ready for the season. “We had been talking about doing a team-building orientation weekend somewhere removed the players don’t have a whole lot of access to and we decided we were going to go on a teambuilding and fishing trip up north. In conjunction with that, we were going to visit a couple of communities and have different native bands that are there come and visit us because they don’t have access to the players very often,” he said. “It is an opportunity to try and give something back to people that don’t have the ability to have a lot of access to the team and participate in their cultural events. It gives us a chance to meet some people who we know are big fans and always support the team. It is a unique way to combine a couple of things ... our schedule is limited by the ability to fly into places. Training camp begins on Sept. 11, so it is going to be a really compressed couple of days.” The Canucks will be in Prince Rupert on Sept. 7 at the Jim Ciccone Civic Centre and on Sept. 10 in Old Massett.

THIS IS WHAT SAFETY LOOKS LIKE AT THE PORT OF PRINCE RUPERT.
TERRACE SEARCH AND RESCUE PHOTO
At the Port of Prince Rupert, commitment to safe shipping is part of who we are. Local experts and organizations work together every day to apply industry-leading practices in vessel handling and harbour safety. Jimmy Andreff and the longshore workers of the International Longshore and Warehouse Union’s Local 505 are part of the picture. Get the facts today at www.rupertport.com/safety.
â– Sonar search TERRACE SEARCH and Rescue crews spent three days searching Takysie Lake, about 50 kilometres south of Burns Lake, for a drowned boater earlier this month and returned Aug. 23 for two or three more days. The crew used two sonars: the first, donated to the team by Progressive Ventures, allows the team to quickly scan the lake bottom and when an object is spotted, the second sonar, which can see an object the size of a soccer ball 40-60m away in zero visibility water, takes a more detailed look. Then an underwater camera identifies the object. As of Aug. 23, the boater had not been located.

Website promotes training “With an expected creation of 6,000 (approx.) jobs between 2011-2021 in the region, now is the right time for you to integrate with this prospering economy and reap the long-term benefits,” reads one information item on the website. Money for the website and other work comes from a $550,000 federal/provincial grant, the second such grant
provided to what is now formally called the Northwest Labour Market Partnership. The Terrace-based Skeena-Nass Centre for Innovation in Resource Economics (SNCIRE) has the contract to manage the website and pursue other programs to connect people with employment. Although primarily meant for northwestern residents,
Bond said the website will interest others as well. “With the economic opportunities coming to the northwest, we expect that people who are looking to move to the area will also use this site,” she said. The word “Chinook” is the trade language used by aboriginal and other peoples in the Pacific Northwest in the 19th and early 20th cen-
turies. SNCIRE this spring organized Partnerships 2020, a conference in Terrace which brought together industrial, business, government, education and others to discuss ways of providing a trained workforce. The first federal-provincial grant to the labour market committee was worth $202,288 and covered the pe-
riod from November 2010 to the end of 2011. The current $550,000 budget runs out the end of November although the website is intended to last a lot longer than that through renewed government support. The northwest isn’t the first region to create websites to build workforce workers. Prince George officials have been busy as well.
Drunks call RCMP
between Aug. 16, 8 a.m. to Aug. 19, 8 a.m., one of the stranger calls to Terrace RCMP was a 911 call from a group of intoxicated people who were watching a scary movie and were freaked out at a Tsunyow St. residence. Police ensured everyone was safe.
