History revived

Wednesday, April 8, 2015

By JOSH MASSEY A MANUSCRIPT that’s at least 30 years old chronicling one of Terrace’s more remarkable historical events will be updated and published if a Terrace and District Museum Society grant application comes through. Heritage Park Museum curator Kelsey Wiebe partially credits Hollywood interest back in the eighties for the city council of the day deciding to hire a student to write a history of the 1944 mutiny by Canadian soldiers based in Terrace. Now Wiebe has applied for a grant from the federal World War Commemorations Community Fund to finance the project which will include both printing copies of an expanded version of the book as well as creating an online version. “Our project is to update the manuscript to add anecdotes from people who experienced it with maps from the Department of National Defence,” said Wiebe, adding that this will include more photos, interviews and letters from survivors. More than 1,600 Canadian troops mutinied for five days here in late November 1944, worried they’d be sent to Europe to replenish depleted forces readying for a final push to end the Second World War. The troops were conscripts and up until then, only those who volunteered were sent overseas.

HERITAGE PARK Museum curator Kelsey Wiebe wants to update a history of an army mutiny which took place here.

Feds won’t appeal Kitselas land ruling By ANNA KILLEN THE FEDERAL government will not be asking the country's highest court to overturn a series of court decisions which ruled that the Kitselas First Nation is owed compensation for a land transaction dating back over 120 years. The government had 60 days to file an appeal with the Supreme Court of Canada following last year's Federal Court decision which upheld an earlier Specific Claims Tribunal ruling that dates back to 1891 and deals with a 10.5 acre parcel of land located on the banks of the Skeena River on traditional Kitselas territory. The tribunal, which acts like a court with a judge and was set up

in 2008 to hear cases involving First Nations claims on specific pieces of land outside of the treaty process, found that the land, which contains a former village site, was wrongly excluded from the original Kitselas reserve allotment in 1891. A Hudson Bay Company warehouse was located on the site, now known as Lot 113 and home to a provincial park. The federal government appealed the tribunal's finding to the federal court. It was the first time the government appealed a tribunal ruling and the case was heard over two days last April. But the federal court ruled in June that the favourable to Kitselas ruling was valid, and the government's opposition to the ruling was

not, leaving the window open for the crown to appeal to the Supreme Court of Canada. Stan Ashcroft, the lawyer representing Kitselas, confirmed the federal crown did not seek leave to appeal, meaning the tribunal process now moves to either a compensation hearing or settlement. In appealing the tribunal's decision, the government argued that it should not be obligated to provide financial compensation for lands the government wrongly neglected to include in original reserve allotments and that if there is an obligation, it should be shared with the province. While the judge did not agree, he ruled that in fact, the tribunal process stated the issue of compensation – and whether or not the

province has a share in the liability of however much compensation would eventually be owed by Canada – was to be decided after the issue of the claim’s validity. Now that the appeals process is complete, that issue of compensation and whether the province shares that responsibility can be dealt with. The tribunal can award up to $150 million in federal money. The Kitselas case gives precedent to other specific claims cases across the country, especially the Williams Lake Indian Band's specific claims tribunal ruling, similarly favourable and which is also being appealed by the federal government. That appeal will be heard in federal court in May. Last year, Specific Claims Tri-

bunal chair Justice Harry Slade released his fifth annual report on the tribunal, warning that the tribunal was in serious jeopardy if the federal government did not provide more resources and staff. “I am the only full time member, and the chairperson of the tribunal. My term expires in December, 2015. Without the appointment of one or more full time members in the interim there will be no ability to implement a succession plan or service the case load. The tribunal will fail,” he writes. “These concerns have been raised with the [federal] Minister of Justice and the [federal] Minister of Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development. There has been no adequate response from government.”

Coffee drinkers put on notice MOTORISTS WHO enjoy their Tim Hortons coffee in the morning needs to be aware they could be breaking a traffic law while waiting in line at the restaurant chain’s Keith Ave./ Hwy16 location. The warning issued by Terrace RCMP follows a complaint made about traffic spilling across the sidewalk and on to Kalum Street at the entrance to the drive-through. “Police will be monitoring this situation and issuing fines for those drivers insisting on blocking the flow of traffic and pedestrians,” said Corporal Philip Crack of the RCMP’s highway patrol. “Drivers should consider using alternate routes so as not to contribute to this problem,” he said. No complaints have yet to be received about traffic problems at the Tim Hortons Lakelse Ave. location but a similar situation exists there, he said. “Drivers making poor choices are creating a traffic hazard at

Motorists could be fined if they block the driveway and sidewalk. both Tim Hortons locations in Terrace, especially between the hours of 7:30 and 9 a.m.,” said Crack. If drivers can’t turn into the parking lot at the Tim Hortons on Keith and be off the street and the sidewalk, then they should

go around the block or come back when they can turn without blocking traffic, added Crack. The fine may only be $40 for blocking a business entrance or exit or blocking traffic but repeat offenders can get a ticket of $196 and six points against their

driver’s licences. Drivers of large trucks also contribute to traffic congestion on Keith/Hwy16 and Kalum by parking on the side of the road and running into the restaurant, said Crack. Tourists and others towing boats behind

their vehicles who then park on the road also add to the problem, he added. Crack anticipates that after making motorists aware of their possible illegal behaviour, that officers will then start enforcing the law.

BUSINESS REVIEW TERRACE STANDARD

Lots of changes in business world WITH THE number of business licences in the city now over the 1,100 mark at 1,133 – up approximately 100 from a year ago – and the business cycle about to enter its busy time, a number of new enterprises have arrived as other changes have taken place. Terrace and District Chamber of Commerce general manager Carol Fielding describes this spring as very much a waiting game for people within the local business community. “A lot of the [liquefied natural gas projects] either have their environmental approvals or are in the final stages. And now everyone’s waiting for those final investment decisions,” she said. “There’s a lot of anticipation for what’s coming and perhaps it’s not coming as quickly as everyone thought.” She noted that the economic impact from BC Hydro’s Northwest Transmission Line, which finished construction the middle of last year, has now subsided, giving the business community a chance to catch up and prepare for the next round of large-scale economic activity. “Compared to even four years ago, this has been a good winter,” she said of recent activity. “I think the message for the business community is don’t stop, keep moving forward. Because once it breaks loose, there’s no catching your breath.” Below is a representative sampling of recent activity.

FOREMAN TYLER Cudmore from Progressive Ventures works on the storm sewer hook up at a Keith Ave. building it is constructing for industrial engine company Simson Maxwell. the next closest one being Prince George and the others in Nanaimo, Port Coquitlam, Edmonton and Calgary. “We see a lot of potential in the area with LNG and other development,” says company official Ben Beeching of its decision to locate in Terrace. The company already has customers who would be involved in one way or another through LNG plant and pipeline construction, making it important for Simson-Maxwell to have a branch here, he said. Terrace’s central location as a sales and service centre and transportation hub within the region makes it additionally attractive, Beeching added. “From Terrace we can cover the region,” he said.

Bravo Cleaning Solutions

Dave Reniero’s been operating a home-based window cleaning busi-

ness in Terrace for more than 15 years. And when he decided to expand into vehicle-detailing a former automotive repair shop location on Keith Ave. came open at about the same time. “It fit the bill perfectly when it came up for lease,” said Reniero who opened up at the spot late last year. Reniero’s had three people on staff in addition to himself over the winter and expects that to grow as spring turns into summer.

Bandstra

Just off of Keith, on Blakeburn, Bandstra Transportation is expanding its Terrace depot. And it’s doing so thanks to two property purchases – a road allowance from the City of Terrace and a westerly portion of land which once belonged to the now-defunct Terrace Lumber Company and before that, Skeena Cellulose.

Changes underway Work at Bandstra has already started on a 10,000 square foot warehouse that will more than double the size of the company’s current warehouse space. “We were getting pretty tight for space,” said Sid Bandstra of the decision to expand. “We’re also developing our parking area and putting in a lay down area,” he said of space where the company’s trucks and trailers and other equipment can be kept. The company is anticipating hiring several people as summer nears, mostly for its moving business but also for freight transportation with the latter prospect depending on general economic activity.

Terrace Mini Storage

Where once stood a propane business on Keith there is now Terrace Mini Storage, which opened late last fall. One of the owners, Claudine Basaraba, speaking from Kamloops, said the business plan had been to sell the property when the economic climate here was in a slump some years ago. “But when business took off, we decided to do this,” she said of the 107-unit storage facility. The owners also have a small mini-storage in Williams Lake.

Andrew Sheret

Founded 120 years ago in Victoria, Andrew Sheret, which sells plumbing, heating, HVAC and other supplies, is making Terrace its 22nd sales location within the province. “We can see the growth in the area and believe there’s an opportunity there,” explains company vice president Eric Findlay of its expansion decision. Its Terrace home is to be the former Coast Tractor building on Keith, east of the Sande Overpass. Andrew Sheret has had a branch in Prince George for a number of years, giving it a northern base from which to expand into the northwest, said Findlay. The company also has a retail arm called Splashes in 20 of its other locations and will have a showroom here as well, he added.

Dulux Paints

Another new company to the area is Dulux Paints which now has an outlet on the block of Greig Ave. behind the Terrace Chrysler dealership. “It’s because that’s where the economic activity is,” says Dave Rimmer, whose responsible for the company’s western Canadian corporate stores. “We looked at the economic indicators and we knew we needed to be in northern B.C. That’s where we think we should be in anticipation of the next five years, 10 years.” The company’s closest location is Prince George, where it’s been for 35 years. Aside from Terrace, the company went on a provincial expansion program last year, adding six stores in the Lower Mainland and one in the Okanagan for a total of 33 outlets. “We’re expecting big things in B.C.,” said Rimmer of the company’s investment in the province. Nation-wide, Dulux has 250 outlets reaching from coast to coast.

Peoples Drug Mart Terrace is soon to be home to a Peoples Drug Mart located right beside Save On

JOSH MASSEY PHOTO

HOUSTON, B.C.-BASED construction company Hansma Construction at work on the Sunshine Inn on Hwy16 beside Kalum Tire. This is one of three hotels underway with one going up further west on the highway and the third in Thornhill. Foods at the Skeena Mall. Its one of two brands under the Peoples name with a Peoples Drug Mart having a larger retail footprint than a smaller Peoples Pharmacy. There’s a Peoples Pharmacy in Kitimat, for example. Peoples, which is an all British Columbia entity, began 39 years ago when seven independent pharmacists banded together for mass purchasing power benefits and other efficiencies. “Each is independently-owned but yes, you could call it a cooperative where there’s the benefit of wholesale purchasing and support and professional services,” says Frank Cucca who works at the Peoples head office in Burnaby. Aside from Kitimat and soon here, the only other Peoples in northern B.C. is located in Mackenzie.

M & M Meats

After eight years in the Gobind Mall, M & M Meats closed up in mid-March. “We really tried to sell the business, to keep it in Terrace, but we just couldn’t find anyone with the right kind of entrepreneurial spirit,” said Glenn Kelly who was a franchise holder along with Darlene Reid. Kelly, also the Kitimat-based manager for the industrial supplies firm of AcklandsGrainger, said juggling two enterprises was onerous. “For me personally, it was eight years of going all out,” he said. Kelly and Reid have also left Terrace for Smithers where Kelly will be the branch manager for the Smithers Ackland-Grainger outlet.

West Coast Vape

The devices they sell emit something like smoke, however workers at West Coast Vape

are quick to point out that “vaping” should never be confused with the inhalation of tobacco fumes. So popular is the new form of nicotine intake that the Terrace shop that opened in February on Lakelse Ave. is devoted entirely to the industry. “We are currently having the goal of changing people’s lives,” said West Coast Vape manager Danielle Nyman of the business team behind the new store. “All three of us were smokers and the effects of smoking, and the smell... climbing 1,200 stairs ... we decided to try something different, we tried vaping and we noticed a huge difference in our personal health, and it tasted good.” One of the owners, Kalen Loeppky is from Terrace while the other owner, James Thorpe is from Kamloops where they are setting up a second shop.

Terrace Redi-Mix

A cement company called Terrace RediMix is opening up in an industrial area located between Canadian Tire and Skeena Sawmills at 3332 Earle. The company is a division of West Fraser Concrete Ltd and has serviced the Terrace area since 1992. West Fraser Concrete head offices are located in Telkwa. In December it purchased the company from local owner Richard Green who is still currently the manager in Terrace. “Because things are going to be happening around here pretty soon we could probably spend a little money and pay some more taxes and go from there,” said Green of the expansion of his business into the lots next door. “Everything is heavy in this businesses,” he said of concrete. Redi-Mix sells paving and other stones

and a lot of precast products they make themselves for infrastructure, septic tanks, etc. The PNG gas main will also be extended 60 metres north on Earl and a new stop light will be attached to a hydro pole on the currently undeveloped site. “The full costs shall be at developer expense,” reads the development permit which was approved by city council in March after some discussion about possible dust impact on residences above the cut bank behind the site.

MacCarthy Motors

Terrace’s General Motors dealership at 5004 Hwy16 has also expanded by putting in a new storage area for tires and parts in response, a total of an extra 5,000 square feet. “Our business has picked up a lot in the last 24 months,” said assistant controller Kevin MacCarthy. “Tires is a big part of our business now We ran out room for storing them.” There will be another building too for a detail shop, he said, however he is still waiting to see if the local economic surge continues to finalize that expansion.

Timber Mart

Increased business volume is also the reason for a 8,400 square foot warehouse being built at Timber Mart on Keith across from Walmart. “It is designed so you can drive in and get what you need, tie it down, and drive out the other side,” says store principal Derrick Gair of the warehouse which doubles the existing size of the store. Being under cover won’t expose products or customers to the elements, Gair added. The business this year notes its 30th anniversary.

EDITORIAL

Mining NEWS FROM two mining companies demonstrates that while many await word on whether or not the region will eventually be home to at least one liquefied natural gas plant and pipeline, there continue to be other opportunities. First up is Pretium Resources which now has provincial environmental approval and aboriginal signoff for its Brucejack gold project north of Stewart. It’s now anticipating federal approval and still needs to complete its financing. Second is Alloycorp, formerly Avanti, which announced it has secured (US) $225 million from two international lenders for its Kitsault molybdenum project. It had been anticipating as much as (US) $612 million from six lenders. One has now dropped out and the remaining three are still in play. Alloycorp, as does Pretium, still needs to raise a considerable amount of capital but knowing that someone from the outside has enough confidence to invest in this region is encouraging. Now couple this with work underway by Seabridge Gold for approvals and financing for its gold, silver and copper KSM project, also near Stewart, and the gradual ramping up by Imperial Metals of its finished Red Chris copper mine near Iskut. Mining, like any industry, is one which requires patience and commitment. To have one project finished and three in the wings is an example of just that. ESTABLISHED APRIL 27, 1988

Susanna Schrobsdorff, in her March 19 article, “The Grandparent Deficit: Fertility Isn’t the Only Biological Clock”, calls attention to generations of children growing up without knowing their grandparents because women are delaying child bearing. For these children, rather than having years of fun with grandparents, learning from them, and hearing stories of their growing up, these children will see grandparents – if Grandma and Grandpa are alive – as frail sedentary seniors confined to the sterile life of a care home, in need of care themselves. These children will need some written record if they are to know their grandparents at all. To think these grandparents won’t bike, craft, sing, camp, cook or fish with their little ones is heartbreaking. When our youngest granddaughter was about 12, as a school project she sat down to interview Grandpa, microphone and tape recorder at the ready.

CLAUDETTE SANDECKI Her questions were short, probing, and geared to fill in gaps of what she wanted to know about Grandpa’s early life for despite his frequent retelling of snippets from his childhood there were specific things she wanted to know more about. Her obvious interest led to a lively half hour interview ranging from Christmas and Easter traditions, games he played with his brothers, everyday classroom happenings, places he had visited as a grownup. I filed her tape and pretty much forgot about it until a couple of Christmases ago. I had it professionally copied

to a CD and gave one CD to each of our daughters and granddaughters. The girls were pleased to have their copies. I treasure mine for my husband’s stories told so candidly in response to her questions, for the obvious warmth between the two, and for the reminder of his voice, something I can more easily recall than can the kids. In a few years they may well forget how Grandpa’s voice sounded. Recently my daughter asked me to get busy and write about our family before she was born – my husband’s years before I met him, my life when I was single, and our life together once we married. Though the kids have heard many of our stories, some far more than once, in many cases we’ve told them in random order. To give them more meaning and provide extra understanding, I am to write them in logical or chronological order. No skipping about. As she explained, once I go, there goes our family history. Even my siblings can’t fill all gaps for her; for many years we lived far apart. In her memoir, “They Left Us Everything” as Ontario

S TANDARD

writer Plum Johnson emptied the family’s 23-room house for sale after her 93-year-old mother died she asked herself, “How could I still have questions? “Friends warned me of this. They said, “When your mother dies, you’ll wish you’d asked her some questions.” I had more than sixty years to ask questions, but the questions didn’t form until after she’d gone. Now there are questions I didn’t even know I had.” Most of us are like Johnson. As kids we have few questions. Later we hesitate to ask for fear of stirring up memories our parents may find painful or prefer to keep hidden. Sometimes we avoid asking because past experience elicited a harsh response to what we deemed an innocuous question warning us we were treading close to tender territory. I welcome my family’s questions and will do my best to write a readable history, more factual than fantasy. I would encourage others to do the same for their families. Even an imperfect, incomplete history is far better than none.

The Mail Bag Estuary critical for the salmon Dear Sir: The northwest coast is a beautiful, productive coastline and I hope it will stay this way for generations to come. Today, there are many proposed industrial developments that could alter the Skeena River Estuary, and potentially compromise the salmon populations that are rearing there. Studies on the juvenile salmon in the Skeena River Estuary may be able to inform watershed management on the potential destruction the industries may have and be able to offer some alternatives or improvements on potential sites. The Skeena River estuary is a very important part of our natural ecosystem and extremely important for salmon lifecycle development. This estuary habitat is a very fragile ecosystem that supports many living organisms, including six different salmon

species and the second largest sockeye return in British Columbia. Most salmon use the estuary twice in their lifetime. The first while they are out-migrating after emerging from the spawning ground, and the second when they return from the sea to head up the river to spawn. When juvenile salmon out-migrate, they rear in the estuary for varying lengths of time to feed, grow, and begin the transformation from living in freshwater to marine water. This is a very important time because their growth and health will decide their future when they travel out into the open ocean. Little is known about the salmon rearing in the estuary, so ongoing research is being conducted to see which different habitat characteristics, such as substrate and vegetation, relate to the occurrence

or absence of juvenile salmon. Lax Kwalaams Fisheries have been collecting data on juvenile salmon in the Skeena watershed since 2005 and continue to pursue different types of research to gain more knowledge. Healthy salmon populations support First Nations and commercial fisheries and aquatic and terrestrial food webs. The more we know about the salmon habitat, the better we can preserve the ecosystem. If we want to protect some of the world’s most pristine coast lines, we must first gain knowledge. With this knowledge and dialogue the public along with the watershed management team can make more informed decisions regarding the proposed industry around the Prince Rupert area. Understanding how industry will impact

Oil shipments doubted

Dear Sir: I see that the Tsimshian chiefs and Calvin Helin are all in favour of shipping oil by pipelines to a proposed refinery. This is after almost everyone else is opposed to the pipelines. These pipelines may not even go through with all the big cost

figures coming out from Enbridge and other oil companies today. And I want to add those living on the coast will have to deal with the Gitxsan before they get any oil coming out of their pipes at the end of the line. Mary G. Dalen, Cedarvale, B.C.

LNG decisions not for the faint of heart

do not envy the task facing the LNG proponent majors in deciding whether to green light their plans for large scale plants on the B.C. coast. Let’s have a look at some of the factors I mentioned last time. On the supply side there is no question it is going to increase, but by how much? Platts, an oil product pricing service, pegs new production in Australia at 32.4 million tonnes per annum (mtpa) of LNG just this year. And BG Group, a Brit oil and gas company, says another 58 mtpa of Aussie production will hit the market by 2019. Assuming both are correct, that’s a total of 90 mtpa. To put that into perspective, that’s equal to total LNG imports by Japan last year, which was a record. BG is also bullish about United States output, predicting 21 mtpa will start up there this year with more to come. And still others wax lyrical about the possibilities in Africa. Heck some analysts even throw B.C. into the mix. Now increased supply is not

of itself a bad thing. After all, if increased demand matches increased supply, LNG prices will theoretically hold steady. So will the increase in demand match that of supply? A year ago everyone was predicting it would not only do that, but would actually exceed new supply. Today they’re singing a very different song, citing slowing economies in China and South Korea (never mind both are still growing at a rate that most other countries would envy), Japan firing up its nuclear power plants (don’t hold your breath on that one), and continuing depressed prices for oil to which most long term LNG contract prices are linked (can we believe that analysts who never saw the oil price crash coming have got it right this time?). Base your final investment decision (FID) on the bearish forecasts of today and you’d quite rightly have severe doubts about the wisdom of proceeding with multi-billion dollar projects. But shave a few points off supply expectations, add a few to

GUEST COMMENT

MALCOLM BAXTER demand side and maybe it looks like a reasonable gamble. And remember, these companies will base their decisions on what they believe will happen over the next 30 – 40 years, a significantly longer period than many analysts look at. So, you’ve calculated what average price you’ll get over the life-time of the project and the revenue looks good enough to justify proceeding. But you also have to look at the other side of

the coin, expenditures. You have lots enough experience running LNG plants so it is pretty straightforward coming up with a dependable operational costs number. But what about construction costs? The Australian projects were plagued by huge cost overruns – as much as 50 per cent in one case – so will the experience be the same here? Northwest B.C. at the moment seems to offer excellent conditions in that with the Rio Tinto Alcan (RTA) Kitimat smelter project set to pour first metal within the next few months, more than 3,000 workers will soon be looking for work. Given the ready availability of workers generally translates to keeping labour costs under control, that’s a good thing, right? However, if you look at what the smelter project cost Rio Tinto, you have to wonder. RTA was realistically the only game in town during its construction period and yet the latest project cost of closing on $5 billion is near double the figure being thrown around

when it got its FID. As I said, I don’t envy the decision-makers. FOOTNOTE: Back in February I wrote about a Canadianbased outfit called Pacific Rubiales Energy (PRE) that had put plans for a barge-based LNG export plant in Colombia on hold given the crash in prices. Things have gone from bad to worse since then. A couple of weeks later a report came out from the Colombian oil chamber that predicted growing domestic demand and depleting reserves meant the country would actually have to import LNG by 2018, if not sooner. So what sense did exporting make? The final blow came last month when state-owned Ecopetrol told PRE its contract to operate the Rubiales gas field – from which it gets 30 per cent of its supply – would not be renewed. Add another body to the itseemed-like-a-good-idea-at-thetime LNG graveyard. Retired Kitimat Northern Sentinel editor Malcolm Baxter lives in Terrace, B.C. msdbax@ citywest.ca.

College contemplating more program cuts NORTHWEST COMMUNITY College is on the verge of cutting the number of university credit classes it offers at its main campus locations of Terrace, Prince Rupert and Smithers. And, in Smithers, it could mean the end of faceto-face classroom instruction. The result will also mean fewer university credit instructors being employed at the college. College communications director Sarah Zimmerman said no decisions have been made but that the college needs to respond to budget pressures and lower enrolments specifically in its academic programs. “What we’re trying to do is minimize the impact,” she said of everything from offering early retirement incentives and voluntary severance packages to instructors to combining classes where it makes sense to do so. A number of instructors have already been given notices of at least partial layoffs in accordance with union contracts, said Zimmerman. Zimmerman was responding to an April 2 release by the Northwest Community College Students’ Union which indicated college officials were about to cut up to 40 university courses – 15 in Prince Rupert, 6 in Terrace and 14 in Smithers. Since there are only 14 courses being offered in Smithers, it would mean the end of classroom instruction there, said the union. “The one place locals can start a post-secondary education in our region is Northwest Community College,” said students’ union chair Steve Verblac in criticizing the college’s plan. “The college has been losing enrolment since 2009 so cutting even more courses makes no sense. One has to wonder whether there will even be a Northwest Community College in five years? Cer-

tainly not if the level of mismanagement and partisan agenda-pushing of the last five years is allowed to continue,” he said. Trades and other programs, so far, have not been affected. Zimmerman did not confirm nor deny the numbers released by the students’ union but said in places such as Smithers, alternatives to direct classroom instruction are possible. “To say that we won’t be offering instruction in Smithers isn’t true. We’re going to ensure there are options for our students,” she said. The college already offers classes through closed-circuit viewing in which students in one community are taught by an instructor in another community. What the college must do is match its course offerings with the enrolment it has and with the needs of its students, said Zimmerman. There has been a drop in academic program enrolment, a circumstance that could have been caused by the demand for workers on large scale industrial projects in the past several years. But with large projects such as Rio Tinto Alcan’s aluminum smelter rebuilding project winding down, there might be renewed interest in going to college, said Zimmerman. She said an exact budget picture isn’t available but that a proposed spending plan will be put to the college board, the majority of its members are appointed by the province, this month in Smithers. “At that point the board will then develop its plan,” Zimmernan said. Cutting courses or programs and laying off employees is difficult, Zimmerman added. “This is not an exercise anyone takes pleasure in doing,” she said.

Mutiny history to be updated With many officers away at the time, the troops took up arms and conducted several marches through Terrace, urging others to support them. The mutiny ended when officers returned and the troops were subsequently shipped out to other parts of the country. Wiebe’s application has the support of city council and it also gave her permission to use the original manuscript written by student Karen Keuchle. “We get a number of research requests about the

mutiny, which is relatively unknown, and feel that it would be useful to compile all of the information that is out there, especially while a few of the veterans and community members who witnessed the mutiny are still alive,” wrote Wiebe in her submission to council. The Terrace mutiny was not the only Canadian one during the Second World War but it was the longest and considered a very serious situation at the time, she said.

Voting opens up today for credit union board VOTING STARTS today to fill two positions for Terrace and area on the Northern Savings Credit Union board. In the running are four people with one being an incumbent, Ann Peltier, a Terrace child care advocate. Also seeking a seat are accountant and business consultant Rod Cox, Golder Associates project manager Bart DeFreitas, and assessor Keith Goodwin. “The second position has been vacant,” said credit union board chair Nirmal Parmar. The person with the

most votes will have a three-year appointment to the board and the person with the second most votes will have a two-year appointment, explained Parmar. He’s the third board member for Terrace and area and his term expires next year. Voting is open to Northern Savings Credit Union members at the credit union branch here and closes April 10. The voting comes at the same time as the credit union deals with the sudden departure of its CEO and president, Ken Doleman.

Nirmal Parmar Hired just two-anda-half years ago, Doleman’s departure was announced mid-March

with the board wishing him the best. Parmar said Doleman’s departure wasn’t a surprise. “Things change and people move on,” said Parmar. “He did a good job when he was here.” Senior Northern Savings official Sharon Stromdahl has been named as temporary CEO and president pending the search for a permanent one. That search will take place once the board evaluates next steps for the credit union’s business growth. The voting comes

Don’t hesitate to call police A RECENT Facebook post about a missing person brought out comments about whether you can report a person as missing before 24 hours has passed. The person believed to be missing was found but not before people disagreed about whether you could report someone missing immediately or not. To clear up the question, Terrace RCMP Inspector Dana Hart said people need to report a loved one as missing as soon as possible. “No, you do not have to wait 24 hours,” said Hart who is in charge of the Terrace RCMP detachment. “In fact, the longer one waits to report a missing person, the greater the risk for the missing person, especially children. We do not have the capacity to monitor Facebook and ask that people call police to report an incident.” RCMP detachments regularly issue releases concerning missing people.

the same month as the credit union, which has branches in Terrace, Prince Rupert and Haida Gwaii stages annual general meetings. In addition to branches in the northwest, Northern Savings has a mortgage business in the south. Assets last year were reported as $987 million, making the credit union the largest of its kind in the north. Credit union services began here with the Terrace and District Credit which merged with Northern Savings in 2006.

Local loses court bcclassified.com fight with RCMP By ANNA KILLEN IT’S TRUE that there were many smoking guns following the fire at Larry Sommerfield’s Thornhill home in 2010. But when the 91-yearold man needed one, of the figurative kind, in his civil suit against the RCMP for destroying those guns, the judge simply didn’t find one. “The RCMP acted in good faith,” said justice Terence Wright in his oral judgment which ruled in favour of the defense in Sommerfield’s small claims case against the B.C. ministry of justice, the official representative for the provincial RCMP, Monday, March 23 at the Terrace court house. He added that after the fire in March of 2010, the officers took the 10 charred and burnt guns into their possession to secure them, and in fact had a duty to do so as there was no reasonable way for them to determine at the time whether or not they were a risk to the public. Months after the March 2010 fire, Sommerfield, representing himself and after filing a complaint with the Terrace RCMP directly, sued the ministry in small claims court. He spent over four years researching and building his case, in which he claimed the RCMP officers unduly confiscated his guns and that when he signed a release giving his permission for the RCMP to destroy the guns he was under duress and misled. The case took up four court days and heard testimony from four witnesses. The judge’s decision came just over five years after the fire. The case in part hinged on whether or

LARRY SOMMERFIELD’S civil suit court date with the RCMP for destroying guns he owned did not go his way. not that release signed by Sommerfield at hospital after the fire where he was being treated for serious burns to his arm, giving the officers permission to destroy the guns, was valid. Wright ruled that Sommerfield voluntarily signed a release allowing the officers to destroy the guns, and was not intimidated and misled into signing the release as he maintained. Wright said that Sommerfield’s memory of the signing and when it took place was simply mistaken and that corroborative evidence tended to be consistent with the defence’s version of events. Wright said he was “in no way suggesting the claimant is not telling the truth as he recalled to the court … mistaken about events, nothing more.” Wright said in his ruling that Sommerfield was lucid and rational in an audio recording

recorded at the hospital after the fire, submitted as evidence by the defense at the encouragement of the judge, who wanted to hear it in order to determine Sommerfield’s mental state. “There is no evidence the plaintiff didn’t have full intellectual capacity,” said Wright. As the claimant failed to prove the defence was liable, any question of money owed to Sommerfield was not an issue, said Wright. This was not welcome news for Sommerfield, who said the case shook his trust in the RCMP who he believes made an error and tried to cover it up. He called the decision “a joke” after the ruling and said that “judges can also be mistaken.” “I didn’t realize that much emphasis would be put on that I signed the release,” he added,

but said he didn’t think hiring a lawyer would have helped his cause. Sommerfield maintained afterwards that the release he signed used the term “firearm” and that “a gun that cannot shoot is not a firearm” – a familiar refrain heard from Sommerfield in court. Sommerfield said he wouldn’t be appealing the ruling. “I’m not going to bother,” he said, “for the four or five thousand dollars it could get me. I’ve had enough of it.” Still, he seemed surprised the judge didn’t decide in his favour. “I was expecting at least something,” he said. “I get nothing, but I don’t need the money.” Mostly, he just wants his story to be told so that others can learn from his experience, he said, adding that he is going to “make a file [on the case] and put it in the library for others.”

Moly miners confident of final financing goal

lybdenum, used as a strengthening agent in steel alloys, has softened and that a molybdenum mine near Endako has closed, but said Kitsault will be one of the lowest cost producers of the product in the world. “High grade, low cost, that’s what makes this project significant,” he said. One change, and one which Bogden said will increase costs but also increase revenue, is a better design of the equipment to recover molybdenum and silver from the ore at Kitsault. “The more we can recover, the more revenue we will receive and the better the economics will be,” he added. Alloycorp already has the environmental and other approvals it needs from the federal and provincial governments and from the Nisga’a – Kitsault is on territory over which the Nisga’a have rights and interests – and has been building roads and a camp in anticipation of a construction start this year. The camp of 150 beds is now completed as is a road to the site and the company also rebuilt a provincial government bridge over the Nass River. Bogden and other company officials will be in Terrace tomorrow for the official opening of subsidiary Avanti Kitsault’s local office which is located on the upper floor of the Dairy Queen building on Park Ave. Mine construction is expected to take approximately two years with a mine life of approximately 14 years to follow. When operating, the mine will employ 300 people. Alloycorp has already signed purchase agreements, called offtake agreements, with a company in Germany and one in Korea.

FINAL FINANCING progress for a molybdenum mine at Kitsault on the north coast is slower than expected but the president of the company which wants to develop the project remains confident of success. “Yes. Things have slowed. We’ve lost some time,” said Gordon Bogden of Alloycorp which needs upwards of $1 billion for the mine it wants to build through subsidiary Avanti Kitsault. The company had been expecting (US) $616 million from a group of six international lenders since early last fall but to date just two have committed themselves to approximately one-third of that amount. One of the six has now dropped out and the company continues to work with the remaining three. “But that has nothing to do with the project,” said Bogden of the one lender who dropped out. “It’s no secret that with the drop in oil prices international banks are reviewing decisions and have deferred on them.” Alloycorp now has other lenders reviewing its Kitsault project although Bogden declined to provide details. At the same time, the company has outside consultants reviewing project costs and early indications are that an initial budget of $818 million may be increased by 20 to 30 per cent. That’s not a surprise to Bogden who said the original budget was crafted when only 10 per cent of the engineering work was completed. “Now we have 53 per cent of that work done. We can now put hard data to the project. We’ve increased the confidence in construction, we’ve done a lot to de-risk the project,” he said. Bogden acknowledged that the market for mo-

Search and rescue group seeks new sonar gear TERRACE SEARCH and Rescue is looking for public support to help buy a sonar to help searchers find people lost deep down in lakes and other bodies of water. In particular, rescuers want to continue to look for Jodi Frocklage, who went missing on Kalum Lake when she went out boating alone December 21, 2014 and didn’t return home. Experienced team members searched the lake’s surface along with volunteers, friends, family, RCMP the federal department of fisheries and New Aiyansh Fisheries but failed to locate her, said local search and rescue president Dwayne Sheppard of the incident. For a more extensive search, search and rescue

needs specialty equipment that can search down to depths of 400 feet, he said. “The appeal to the public is for people with fundraising experience to help us out,” said Sheppard. Search and rescue can use its own non-profit funds to purchase the $44,000 Sea Scan Arc Explorer Sonar, which can search to these depths and deeper. But the organization also needs a SeaBotix Remote Operated Vehicle (ROV) for recovery at these depths and is looking for the public to help with raising the $93,000 cost of the ROV. Sheppard asks anyone who would like to assist with fundraising or who would like to donate to contact him.

Drugs and cash seized by police

RCMP OFFICERS here want charges laid following a drug and cash seizure involving two separate searches of an apartment unit on the 4600 Block of Lakelse Ave. and one search of an apartment unit right next door. Officers used a search warrant on March 22 at the first unit, seizing what they say is a quantity of cocaine and cash. Three men, ages 29, 27, and 26, and one 27-year-old woman were arrested inside of the residence. Three days later, on March 25, using another search warrant, offi-

Another search warrant was executed at the apartment next door and a 56-year-old man was arrested, said police. In all, police say they seized approximately $7,000 in cash and what they say is $22,000 worth of crack cocaine. Charge recommendations of drug trafficking have been forwarded to federal prosecutors. The 29-year-old man was held for court, police said last week.

Computer scammer strikes once more

TERRACE RCMP officers stepped in last week after a person provided her credit card information and remote access to her computer to a telephone scammer claiming to offer services to remove a virus. Police said they spoke with the woman and directed her to a local computer technician to wipe her computer. Law enforcement officers and computer industry officials routinely warn people against providing any kind credit card or other personal information to people over the phone. The growing use of sophisticated scams made possible by the Internet have resulted in more and more people putting themselves at the risk of either being defrauded or having their identities stolen.

Baby teeth are important too Keeping your child’s baby teeth healthy and strong is important to their oral and overall health and development. Baby teeth begin to appear around 6 months and can last until a child is 13 or 14. They are an important part of your child’s nutrition, speech development, self-confidence and play a significant role in the placement of permanent adult teeth. Without proper care and attention children can suffer from dental decay (cavities). Decay is caused when sugars in the mouth mix with plaque bacteria to create an acid that can destroy tooth enamel. The longer sugar is in the mouth, the more acid is produced, increasing the risk of cavities. Dental decay is painful—it can lead to infection and tooth loss. Children with dental disease may also have trouble sleeping, difficulty concentrating and suffer emotional distress—feeling bad about the way they look. Dental disease is not always recognizable. Pain is usually a sign there is a problem but very young children are not able to explain when they are in pain. The good news is that dental disease is preventable. Establishing healthy habits from an early age, including regular dental exams, can start your child on the path to good oral health.

Set your child up for good dental health: ◾ Caring for the mouth starts early. Begin by cleaning your baby’s mouth using a wet cloth and gently wiping the gums to remove any leftover milk or formula from the mouth. ◾ Brush your child’s teeth as soon as the first tooth appears and make sure you lift the lip to brush along the gum line. Young children cannot clean their own teeth. Brush for them when they are very young and with them as they grow older.

◾ Use a soft toothbrush. Choose an appropriate size for the age of the child. ◾ Make brushing fun and develop a routine: brush at a specific time (after a bath or before a book); in a specific location (mom’s knee); or with specific cues (music, counting). ◾ Use a small amount of fluoride toothpaste to protect the teeth from cavities. Children under the age of 3 should only use a smear (size of a grain of rice) while those over 3 can use a pea-sized amount. Encourage your children to spit out the toothpaste. ◾ Cavity-causing bacteria can transfer from your mouth to your child’s. Avoid sharing soothers, toothbrushes or other items with your child. ◾ Regardless of age, discourage grazing on sugary foods and drinks throughout the day or overnight. For instance, constant and slow sipping on milk-filled bottles or sippy cups with juice, keeps sugars in the mouth and can lead to cavities—fill them with water instead. ◾ Choose healthy snacks such as cheese, fruit or nuts. What’s good for the body is good for the mouth. ◾ The earlier a dental problem is found, the easier it is to fix. Check your child’s mouth and visit the dentist regularly. ◾ Look in your child’s mouth for signs of disease such as brown or yellow spots on the teeth. Other signs that your child may be suffering from dental disease include: trouble sleeping; difficulty concentrating; and, avoiding certain foods, such as cold drinks and foods.

YOUR CHILD’S BABY TEETH CAN LAST UNTIL THEY’RE 14 YEARS OLD. Baby (primary) teeth play a big role in your child’s speech development, nutrition and create space for adult teeth to develop correctly. Limit sugary food and drinks and clean your baby’s mouth

To learn more talk to your dentist or visit yourdentalhealth.ca

◾ The first dental visit should take place by age one or within six months of when you see the first tooth. Through regular examinations your dentist will monitor the development of your child’s teeth and gums to catch problems early and prevent disease. Starting dental visits early can also improve your child’s comfort with visiting the dentist. Remember, children learn by example: if you look after your own teeth and gums, your children will too.

For more ways to help your child benefit from good dental health, talk to your dentist or visit yourdentalhealth.ca.

Dual communities protest overnight border closure By ANNA KILLEN RESIDENTS OF both Stewart and Hyder were out with signs early in the morning of April 1, protesting overnight closures of the border between their communities which began at 12:01 a.m. that day. “I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, we are one community in two countries,” said Hyder resident Caroline Simpson-Stewart. “It’s sad. What is being done to the people of Stewart and Hyder as a ‘cost cutting’ measure is wrong on so many levels, and thus far none of the customs people are being laid off, none of their hours are being cut, there were three people on duty all night – it reeks of wrong.” The move to reduce the hours at the border and close the crossing between midnight and 8 a.m. – what some have described as a costcutting measure by the Canadian Border Services Agency (CBSA) – has been met with fierce opposition and criticism from residents, businesses, and politicians on both sides of the border. But despite the outcry, the closure went ahead. The gate doesn’t look like much – but Simpson-Stewart said there are cameras focussed on the crossing and she wouldn’t risk going across when it’s shut. Opponents of the reduced hours tout ecomomic and safety concerns – Hyder relies on Stewart’s health care centre and the road is the only evacuation route. CBSA says it has procedures in place, which have been signed off on by local emergency services providers, to mitigate safety concerns and allow emergency access. That includes a 24-hour phone at the gate residents can use to call to have the gate opened in the event of a medical emergency. CBSA confirmed a medical emergency could be something like a broken arm that needs urgent medical attention. CBSA also said it is consulting with local businesses. Rick Kasum, the operating manager for mining company Ascot Resources in Stewart,

B.C., still hopes a common-sense combination of real safety concerns and economics will prevail – or at least get the CBSA to tweak the hours so they work for his company, the work site of which is only accessible by travelling through Hyder to British Columbia territory on the other side. “The way they’re opening up and shutting the hours is really going to hurt us,” he said. “The hours of operation aren’t going to work for us, we work 24/7 right? I need the hours changed.” Despite pressure from Skeena-Bulkley Valley NDP MP Nathan Cullen and others, federal minister for public safety Stephen Blaney has not intervened in the closure but Cullen said last week he was “hopeful.” Blaney has also refused to comment.

Student gets closer to acting dream A YOUNG actress will learn from professionals after being accepted to theatre school down south this summer. Anja Hanington, Grade 10 student at Caledonia, will head to the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in New York for two weeks. Hanington, who was mistress of ceremonies at the recent Comedy Calamity series of seven miniplays at Skeena Middle School, performed in Red Herring, Caledonia’s entry into the high school drama festival and was Chip, one of the main characters in Beauty and the Beast, Caledonia’s musical theatre production last December and Terrace Little Theatre’s summer drama program. “It was just I think ‘why not do it now?’” says Hanington about why she chose to apply for the course now. She says she had been researching universities specializing in acting and theatre and noticed this one had summer courses in musical theatre for teens. After applying, she found out within a few days that she had been accepted. “I didn’t expect to hear back so fast and wasn’t entirely sure I was going to get in,” she said. The two-week course is from July 27 to August 7 and includes musical theatre, dance, voice and stage techniques. Her dream is to act professionally and take more theatre at university after high school. “I think I always wanted to be an actor,” she says, adding she found a youtube musical performance from a Chicago theatre group that showed her it was possible and at a young age. “It just basically confirmed that that’s real and it doesn’t have to be sort of a far away dream.”

Food bank counts number of clients TERRACE CHURCHES Food Bank had a busy month in March with lots of food to give out plus produce and collecting client numbers for the annual hunger count. “March went very well – we had lots of food to distribute and lots of volunteers as well,” said food bank president John Wiebenga. “There was a bonus shipment of frozen carrots we handed out and have enough to hand out again in April.” Actual client numbers were submitted to Food Banks Canada for the March Hunger Count, which will determine the percentage of food

shared with the food bank, explained Wiebenga, adding he didn’t have the numbers from last year for comparison but compared to 2013, the total had dropped by about eight per cent. The numbers submitted were as follows: • Households = 340 which represents 872 individuals broken down into separate categories; • Men (18 years+) = 293; • Women (18 years+) = 253; • Children (under 18) = 326; • Seniors (65+) = 55; • New clients = 14; • Senior numbers went up by seven individuals.

THANKS TO the community helping out, more than 100 youths were able to try out skiing or snowboarding even though the cost was out of reach. The Northern Snow Angels program helps provide free skiing/riding to school groups/organizations who want to participate in the snow sports, but are unable to afford the cost. “We have put through 118 kids at full sponsorship through the Northern Snow Angels program,” said Christian Theberge.

“Some of the kids included in the 118 were part of three-day programs. On average, our funding allowed us to sponsor up to 15 kids per school program day.” Full sponsorship includes lift ticket, rentals, ski lesson, and lunch. Northern Escape Heli Skiing added the chance for its clients to donation to the program. Other individuals and organizations who helped out including the Terrace Rotary Club, Mt.

Lily Marie Nielsen

May 30, 1935 - March 17, 2015 It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved Lily Marie Nielsen (nee Browne) at the age of 79. Lily was born in Toronto, Ontario. and graduated in 1957 from Women’s College Hospital School of Nursing. She came out west to work as a nurse and met the love of her life, Bent. They were married in 1960. Lily is survived by her loving husband, Bent Nielsen and they would have celebrated 55 years of marriage this summer. She is also survived by her four children: Nels (Katie) of Gold River; Yvonne & Eric of Terrace; and Caroline (Brad) Steinke of Orleans, Ontario. Lily will be sadly missed by her grandchildren Julianna & Nicholas. She leaves behind her brothers Barry (Lynda) Browne, Ralph Browne, and her sister Bernice (Sonny) Hysen as well as numerous nieces and nephews. The family gathered at Terrace Cemetery for a small graveside service by Pastor Clint Magnus. Arrangements were handled by MacKay’s Funeral Service. The family would like to send a special thank you to the doctors, nurses and staff at Mills Memorial Hospital who took wonderful care of Lily.

Nightmares looking to rise above the Pain THE NORTHCOAST Nightmares suffered a couple of tough losses to start the season at the Northern Exposure tournament in Prince George last month – but they’re looking forward to a rematch against Quesnel’s Gold Pain City, the first in a best of three series sure to be a highlight of the season. The Prince George invitational saw the Terrace team fall to the Tournament City Deadlines from Kamloops in the first bout of the tourney, and then get knocked out by Gold Pain. “Was a bit disappointing, we wanted to get to game three,” said head coach 9Chris “Skimo” Thomas. “But it didn’t hit too hard, the team is very optimistic and in good spirits.” Thomas said the overall experience was excellent and gave the team an opportunity to try out different game strategies involving the roster’s mix of veteran players and rookies. “We’ve got a number of players that have been around for a few years and a number that are quite

new, first time skating or second time skating. It’s tough to know the best way to incorporate them into a game especially when we’re playing a team with a very high level of play.” But the team is feeling confident about the upcoming rematch bout

in Quesnel this weekend, April 11, and the first home bout, at the Terrace Sportsplex in May, also against Quesnel. “Quesnel is fairly close to our level of play,” he said. “We’re looking for victory. “We have noticed that our team’s endurance is

quite high,” he said. “We plan to capitalize on that. Our late game is really good but obviously we can’t wait until the end of the game to start winning. So we’ve been working hard on strategies to beat them at the start of the jam.” He said it’s nice to have

a team to continually play – and that the fans will benefit from the series. “Great team to play with, we have good parties and socialization after too,” he said. “We learn from each other after the games just as much as during the games.”

HEY HOCKEYVILLE, does Terrace want to host the 2017 National Aboriginal Hockey Championships? The Aboriginal Sport, Recreation and Physical Activity Partners Council is conducting a provincewide process to identify communities in B.C. who are interested in hosting the 2017 National Aboriginal Hockey Championships. The group can approve and endorse one community from within B.C. to be put forward in the national bid process where they will compete amongst other communities from across the country. So they’re launching a provincial process to choose a B.C. community.

The selected B.C. community will receive a funding commitment of $50,000 to offset the event’s operating costs should they be successfully awarded the rights to host the 2017 NAHC through the national process. The first deadline is the submission of a letter of intent, which is required by Wednesday, April 29th, 2015. For more information visit www. aboriginalsportbc.ca. Held annually each spring, the National Aboriginal Hockey Championships serve as a premier event that showcases elite Bantam/Midget age Aboriginal hockey players from across Canada.

Terrace Bluebacks boast friendly competition in and out of the pool THE FOUR Terrace Bluebacks who received medals at the annual Smithers regional invitational say it is their teammates who inspire them. “Erin kept saying I’d get one and that inspired me,” said Jake Kluss, who took home a silver medal. “Erin!” The four swimmers shout in unison, excited to talk about their teammate who is recovering from a back injury and has been a solid cheerleader for the time being. “She always has a smile on her face,” said gold-medalist MacKenzie Bannister. “She’s just really inspiring.” “She’s really happy,” said Kluss. “I really wanted Juliet to get a medal,” said bronze medal winner Avery Back, adding that Juliet was very close at both the Kitimat and Smithers’ meets. “One of the things that probably drove me to get a medal was Juliet because she was like a point away from getting a medal. So it was like if she can get a medal than I can too and so she inspired me.” Back also noted that she trained with her friend Aubrey before the meet and “that helped.” Kluss jumps in to say that teammate – and, apparently, team clown – Renzo “was most inspiring for me, too.” The four attribute their goodwill towards their teammates to the size of the squad. “The reason why it feels so good is that our swim club is one of the smallest ones we have time to grow together a little bit more … all of us know each other,” said

harles E. Brooks, retired US Air Force officer, an avid trout fisherman who loved to fish the rough and tumble rivers of Montana located in the Yellowstone area, had a two pronged problem to solve, namely to invent an imitation of the giant black stone fly nymphs that the rainbow trout would mistake for the real deal, and how to get it down between the big rocks embedded in the bottom of riffles and glides of his home streams using a fly rod. The Pteronarcys nymphs, some as long as a man’s thumb, most the size of a woman’s, are bottom dwellers that graze atop and between the boulders that decorate stream beds. At times, they unhook themselves from the substrate and go with the flow. These dangerous drifts appear reckless at first, since they leave the bugs naked and vulnerable to trout that dart from their ambuscades like heat seeking missiles and pick them off. Scientists call this behaviour benthic drift, and have devoted a lot of research to it. There are many theories as to why aquatic benthos behave this way. Charlie Brooks pored over the papers published by entomologists with the practical eye of a trout fisher. To Charlie, how the nymphs drifted was more important than why they did.

year when the pool was closed for renovations, so the team is happy to return the favour. And the two teams, along with Smithers and Prince Rupert, typically compete together as Points North at larger meets – like the big meet in Prince George coming up mid-month – so it is helpful to train together. “The people that you compete with are your friends, you don’t compete with them, you become a team with them,” said Bannister. The Smithers Invitational took place Feb. 28 through March 1 at the Bulkley Valley Pool.

and line on the fly. Drag is the bane of dry fly fishers because insects floating atop the water float freely. Since a floating fly is attached to tow rope consisting of tippet, leader, and fly line, the latter is always trying to drag it across the top of the water like a minuscule water skier. Flies behaving this way fail to trip the hair trigger instincts of trout. As a result, the angler fishing dry flies is forever readjusting his line to keep his fly floating freely as long as possible. Brooks’s task was to achieve the same kind of extended free float underwater, a much more difficult feat. To affect this, he cast a short line upstream just as a dry fly fisher would, retrieved line as the bug drifted toward him, while simultaneously lifting his 8 weight, 9 foot fibreglass rod as the nymph passed him. As the nymph continued its journey downstream, he lowered his rod and began paying out line. When the nymph began to drag, Brooks cast it back upstream with a crisp flick a little farther from the bank than the cast before. The whole technique is like deceptively difficult to do well but once mastered, very effective. After reading Brooks’s Nymph Fishing for Larger Trout, I devoted a lot of fishing time to his nymphing technique. As Charlie predicted, I caught a lot of trout with it, but it was not until I met Hugh that I realized it had a much broader application. Continued next week…
