Gov rejects planning money By JOSH MASSEY
AN ALLIANCE of northwestern municipalities formed in 2014 to push for a revenue sharing agreement with the provincial government for a cut of profits from resource development in the area has been turned down – at least for the time being. The Northwest Resource Benefits Alliance – which represents the communities in the regional districts of KitimatStikine, Bulkley-Nechako and Skeena-Queen Charlotte – has been seeking an amount in the hundreds of millions of dollars to be redistributed to the area for infrastructure and other upgrades. The communities would be accommodated under a single sharing agreement. In a letter from the Ministry of Community, Sport and Cultural Development dated April 22 and addressed to Regional District of Kitimat-Stikine chair Stacey Tyers, the government laid out the reason for rejecting a request for $1,131 million for planning and delaying any agreement. “The tone was a surprise. It was exactly the opposite of the previous correspondence, but we are still hopeful that we can go back to the table and talk to them,” said Tyers, adding that the alliance has already sent another letter “asking on a political level to meet again and try to get on track.” The money the group asked for was needed to do necessary legwork to secure a wide-reaching deal, she said. “To actually bring together all three regional districts is incredibly expensive and we would have to do that a couple times just to make sure that everybody is on the same page,” said Tyers. Local governments and the provincial government have already spent money planning for the agreement which they hope will be like the one the government has with industrialbased communities in the northeast called Fair Share. According to the government, it is too soon for a revenuesharing agreement to be signed and they are unwilling to commit more money for the initial planning at this point. “It is in our view, premature for the province to consider entering into any agreements that would see those revenues dedicated before they are realized,” says the government letter. “Future benefits from LNG development have not been incorporated into provincial revenue forecasts,” it continues. However Tyers said that the agreement would be based on new money in other sectors, not just the proposed liquefied natural gas industry. Despite 18 export plants proposed and 12 export licenses granted, not one of the gas companies has made up their mind to go ahead with their coastal liquefaction plants. “Mining, forestry, any resource development in our area really. We are looking at new revenue, we are not asking them for a piece of the revenue they currently have, we recognize that is committed elsewhere, but we are looking at new resource revenue,” said Tyers.

EVELYN POUSETTE tends to the tulips in her backyard, which have a special story behind their presence here in Terrace for the past several decades.
Touching history to local tulips
By MARGARET SPEIRS AS PEOPLE remember and mark the 70th anniversary of the liberation of the Netherlands by the Canadians and other Second World War events, a part of that remembrance has lived in Terrace for more than 40 years. Yellow tulips given to veterans associations across Canada as thanks from the Dutch government for the liberation of Holland have been growing in Evelyn Pousette's
garden on the bench since 1974. And before that, they grew in her garden downtown where she and her husband lived before that. She says they just keep growing year after year. The exact year they were given to Canada wasn't known to her but she believes it may have been 1970 which was the 25th anniversary of the end of the Second World War. Way back before she and her husband were married, they went out for
a drive one day and stopped at the top of Lanfear hill in the spot where their property is now, but which was just vegetation and land without any houses back then. She stood at the edge of the hill and her now-husband took a photo of her. On the back she wrote “I want to live here someday” then put it away in a drawer and forgot all about it.

City budget shows surplus By JOSH MASSEY THE CITY surplus has continued to grow as the final budget was voted in on Monday showing it sitting at $1,329,964, up from previous figures around $900,000 earlier in the year. The city still held in the reins which shows in this year’s surplus, according to the mayor. “It’s still a lean and mean budget,” said mayor Carol Leclerc of Terrace’s past legacy of economic challenges when the mainstay forest industry suffered. “We have got a little bit of extra revenue coming in because the city is growing a little bit. We’re able to fill in on things we have cut back on in recent years.” The 2015 Financial Plan is balanced over the next five years. Overall, revenue is $20,897,297 up from $19,593,844 in 2014. The operating budget is $19,609,427 with $5,285,267 for capital expenditures. Money the city will take in from taxation has risen from $11,053,832 to $11,800,000. Broken down by the major departments, the expenses for 2015 compared to 2014 are: The budget for general administration is rising to $853,499 from $788,150; Transit will go up from $600,500 to $631,250; Policing costs $3,790,407, up from $3,690,176;
The budget for the fire department is going up to $1,827,573 from $1,782,811; Money will also be spent on recreation which is rising to $2,746,232 from $2,616,143; The city will spend $3,120,801 on public works, up from $2,957,745. The budget for development services, the department which handles building permits and planning is up to $1,194,227 from $1,102,091. Recreation expenditure is rising from $2,615,143 to $2,737,632. Some of these rising costs are for labour, with increased hours to the city gardener amounting to $38,000 and $45,683 for the first partial year the bylaw officer works once hired, plus the cost for the new vehicle. The city did not increase the residential tax rate but is collecting more money in this category because of new construction and it did lower the tax rate in the general business category. “The city has always been efficient,” said Leclerc. “You want to spend those dollars as preciously as you can, so there hasn’t been a lot of opportunities for extras. All of the departments have held back on things they would like to see but as the Skeena Industrial Development Park is built out…I think it would be an opportunity as more revenue comes in.”

School zones safer with speed signs THE WALK to and from school is now safer for students at Skeena Middle School thanks to speed indicator signs paid for by crime money. Three signs that flash at drivers going faster than 30 km/hr along Munroe St. near the school and both directions on Walsh Ave. have been installed and are hardwired into the electrical system. Similar signs installed at Ecole Mountainview and Suwilaawks Community School are solar-powered. The speeds that do flash are determined by radar equipment similar to that used by police officers. Money seized by the provincial government’s Civil Forfeiture Office from people believed to have made it
from criminal activities paid for about 75 per cent of the cost of the signs, which cost more than $12,000. The rest of the cost was picked up by the Skeena Middle School parent advisory council and the Rotary Club of Terrace. Skeena Middle School principal Phillip Barron said since the signs have been installed, school staff have noticed that traffic does slow down. The new signs flash the speed in red numbers for drivers going over the school zone speed and will also flash the lights as well with no speed showing whereas the ones near Ecole Mountainview and Suwilaawks just flash the speed in yellow lights for high speeds.

EDITORIAL
Democracy LAST week was quite the week for Canadian democracy. To the east, in Alberta, the election of a New Democrat majority government overturned decades of Progressive Conservative rule. Its leader, premier-elect Rachel Notley, promising to “end the boom and bust cycle” and focus on heath care, education, and a value-added energy plan. And it is that future energy plan that will most certainly keep northwest B.C. – and stakeholders in the area’s potential future resource projects – tuned east, waiting to see what the new government’s policy will mean for the region. Tacking west, members of Lax Kw’alaams Band voted Tuesday – the first in a series of non-binding votes – to oppose a $1 billion benefits agreement tied to the Pacific NorthWest LNG terminal and Prince Rupert Gas Transmission project, citing concerns about the environmental impact of the terminal and its location on Lelu Island. Many are calling the $1 billion offer a “gamechanger” in industry/First Nations relations – and while it has certainly shaken up the conversation, keep in mind that the project doesn’t hinge on the band’s approval of the agreement. And overarching across the country, and more specifically to Ottawa, Canadians last week saw the passage of the Conservative’s anti-terror omnibus legislation, Bill C-51. Democracy in action, folks.

lipping across news channels April 30 I heard fleeting mention of a little green bus on Parliament Hill.

74 seconds was too small a time to amount to anything, did not rate a ruling, and bolstered his position quoting decisions on this topic by parliaments in Australia as well as the United Kingdom, and reminded everyone (though all the seats behind him were empty) of many occasions in Ottawa’s Parliament when MPs had been delayed by visiting dignitaries. Googling “green buses on Parliament Hill” I learned 11 little green 16-seater buses travel four routes around Parliament Hill transporting free of charge not only all MPs but Hill staffers who need only show their governmentissued passes. The buses make a total of 17 stops between them. They don’t pick up or drop off between stops even if that might be more convenient for some passengers. Using a series of security card swipes the little green buses navigate through retractable security barricades called bollards that have been operating since 2013. How many drivers are employed and what the bus service costs taxpayers is not known; the drivers work on both buses and delivery vehicles on the Hill, under

orders from House of Commons Sergeant-at-Arms Kevin Vickers. Hansard makes it clear despite the 74 second bus delay, Cullen did not miss the vote, which took place shortly after 11:45. VanLoan suggests the NDP were mainly looking to obstruct the working of the House. In turn, NDP MP Peter Julian (in attendance out of camera range) accused VanLoan of deliberate longwindedness to reduce time available for debating Bill C-51, a bill that has proved unpopular among Canadians. While MPs fritter away parliamentary time debating the merits of Cullen’s 74-second complaint, members of the Shoal Lake Reserve have been without an all-weather road for a century since they were cut off from the mainland to build an aqueduct which supplies the city of Winnipeg with fresh water. The reserve has been under a boil water advisory for 17 years. Seventeen years! Puts a 74-second delay in perspective, doesn’t it? Last week the reserve’s ferry broke down stranding them from health services and bottled water.

Dear Sir: Open Letter to Chair and Board of Regional District of Kitimat-Stikine April 10, 2015 Residents Advocating for a Sustainable Inclusive Environment (RafaSIE) wish to inform the Regional District Kitimat-Stikine (RDKS) that we believe the “public” we represent have no confidence in their commitment to serve the needs of the public that they are tasked to serve. Consultations with the public, over the course of many years have exemplified the lack of sincere interest that the RDKS Board has in hearing and acknowledging the voices and concerns of its constituents. The recent ad (March 2015 Terrace Standard) to have members of the public apply for the Regional District of Kitimat-Stikine Board-directed Curbside Collection Working Group failed to gain sufficient response from the public based on the terms of reference put into place by the RDKS. This, despite the fact that numerous community members had submitted letters requesting opportunity to sit on this proposed committee in order to provide feedback on the recently imposed Bylaw No. 640. These individuals were not informed about the application process and their letters to the board were not considered in the RDKS selection process. This example, in addition to the many public petitions and letters which, over the course of several months and years have not been heeded or respectfully responded to by RDKS administration or its Board has led to conviction by the public that the RDKS Board is incapable of adequate democratic representation.

Rio Tinto Alcan should do the right thing
io Tinto Alcan is in a dispute with local residents, as well as in court with Canada’s largest labour union, Unifor, over its refusal to install sulphur dioxide (SO2) scrubbers in its new Kitimat smelter. According to the World Health Organization, SO2 is linked to increased rates of heart attacks, stroke, cancer, premature births and asthma attacks, and those impacts increase with increased levels of SO2. This poisonous gas also reacts with air and moisture and forms acid rain. These impacts are the reason Rio Tinto Alcan needs a permit from the provincial government to release more of this toxin. Scrubbing is a well-known and reliable industrial process that can remove almost all of the SO2 from Rio Tinto’s new smelter. Twelve aluminum smelters around the world use it. Yet Rio Tinto Alcan refuses. They know it’s the right thing to do as they have built the infrastructure to install scrubbers in the new plant in
case they are required to do so. Rio Tinto Alcan states it is safer to release SO2 into the air then scrub it using seawater, citing concerns over environmental impacts to Douglas Channel. In reality, without scrubbers SO2 is a poison released into our air, with scrubbers SO2 reacts with seawater to form a salt, sulphate, which is already in high concentrations in the ocean and has no environmental impacts. Rio Tinto Alcan also cites the fact that the other toxins and pollutants associated with smelting will be reduced in the new smelter. While Rio Tinto has every reason to be proud they are reducing those pollutants, it should not, and cannot, use that as a justification for not doing the right and responsible thing. The new smelter’s SO2 emissions into the Terrace/Kitimat airshed will roughly double from current levels to 42 tons a day. How much SO2 is that? It’s around 30 million pounds a year, or 1,500 dump truckloads annually. Over 60 years its almost 2
GUEST COMMENT
GREG KNOX billion pounds, or 92,000 dump truck loads. According to Rio Tinto Alcan’s own studies, especially vulnerable to increased SO2 emissions are youngsters with asthma and elderly people with breathing issues. Rio Tinto calls these impacts “blocked airway events.” The Canadian Medical Association estimates that 21,000 Canadians die each year from air
pollution, and it costs our economy and health care system $10 billion dollars to deal with air pollution. Why the refusal? It’s money. Rio Tinto Alcan has a job to do – make aluminum, and make profits for shareholders. That’s as it should be, it’s what companies do. And we recognize it’s a balancing act for corporations at times, that doing business as responsibly as possible can cost a lot of money, and SO2 scrubbers aren’t cheap. Rio Tinto has said the cost could be as high as $200 million. Can Rio Tinto afford it? In 2014 alone Rio Tinto had profits of $9.3 billion. So the cost of protecting our air quality for the next 60 years, literally helping our children and our elders to breathe, and making thousands of lives better, represents about eight days of profit in one year. The relationship between the smelter in Kitimat and B.C. and our communities, has always been a partnership – we gave Alcan thousands of square kilo-
metres of land, and an immense amount of pure clean water from the headwaters of one of the earth’s great salmon rivers, the Fraser. That water creates some of the cheapest hydropower in the world, and it will be the foundation of the Kitimat smelter’s future profitability of many more billions of dollars. In turn we got investment and jobs. Our ask to Rio Tinto is for the health of our families, and our children, and their children. Rio Tinto – please make this new smelter truly world class and state of the art. Install the scrubbers. Do the right thing. It is a reasonable ask, and it would be a responsible choice on their part. Fighting local citizens in court is not responsible corporate behavior in 2015, and doing so could adversely impact Rio Tinto’s relationship with us for a long, long time. Greg Knox is the executive director for the SkeenaWild Conservation Trust headquartered in Terrace, B.C.

Public Consultation meetings further revealed to the public that the RDKS has no intention to consider the concerns or the opinion of an engaged public.

Don’t touch her boat Dear Sir: To the boaters who came in behind me at the Kalum Lake boat launch on Saturday, May 2, 2015, I would like to know why you would think it necessary to move my boat off the launch while I am up at my vehicle. I am so glad I do not have a fiberglass kayak, as I watched you drag my boat across the rocks then place it off to the side. And it’s a good thing I had decided to use my portable wheels and not my trailer, as my boat would have been out of reach for me to load.
I would never move someone’s boat off the launch, nor would I even consider touching someone else’s boat. I was under the impression that when a boat is on the boat launch, it means someone is either launching or loading their boat. I guess in your minds if you don’t have a motor on the back of your boat then you shouldn’t be using the lake or the boat launch. Next time keep your hands off my boat and/or anyone else’s boat.

Gov rejects planning money
Touching history to local tulips After they were married, they were looking to move up to the bench area and get a place. At one time back then, CN was going to build a railroad from Terrace to Dease Lake, she said. A man who worked for the railroad and lived elsewhere had bought the house at the top of Lanfear. However, his wife didn't want to move here, she was happy where she was. He thought about renting the house even though his wife wanted him to sell it. The Pousettes ended up meeting him and wanted to buy the house but he was reluctant to sell. He finally did and they moved up there. CN decided not to build a railroad to Dease Lake and the man and his wife were transferred to Edmon-
Tyers said the revenue sharing would be an incremental sharing of this new industrial profit. “We are looking at a model on a percentage basis, so if they don’t get revenue, neither do we. There’s no reason to wait for a final investment decision to create a framework because then it is too late. They did know that was what it was, so I am not really sure where the communication got lost again, but we are hopeful to get back to the table.”
ton. One day, Evelyn found the photo her husband had taken of her and remembered what she'd thought of the place. It was meant to be, she said. Her husband hasn't taken another photo of her since they moved up there, but she thought it would be a good idea. Some yellow tulips are planted in the front of the house along with red ones that didn't come from Holland and she's not sure of where they did come from. She continues to garden and tend to the flowers which have some orange tulips among them and purple ones nearby. Her husband spends time digging out dandelions in the back and front yards. And the tulips continue to grow.

CUBS, SCOUTS and other members of the loca scouting movement held their annual yearend linking camp. The entire scouting movement attends this camp from Beavers through to Rovers (five years to 26 years old). At the camp, was a special ceremony to welcome those moving up to the next level, and say goodbye. Each section has its own ceremony. From this point on, the youth can attend both of the sections as a transition period for them. Beavers “swim up” to cubs. Cubs “leap up” to scouts. Scouts have a special initiation to move up to Ventures, unique each time. Initiation varies from year to year and is whatever the youths think up. Ventures transition over to Rovers when they turn 19 years old.

liked 29. 29 was great because although I was still a Youth, I was an Experienced Youth. I had 10 years practice in driving, voting, renting apartments, paying hydro bills, grocery shopping and cooking for myself and budgeting so I could go to the disco. At 18 and 19 and 20 I was shocked and dismayed to learn landlords could withhold damage deposits for what seemed like no good reason, that room-mates could fall in love and move out, leaving me stuck with the whole rent, that banks really did not have my best interests in mind, and other life lessons. I enjoyed 21 so much I stayed that age for two years, then became 23. I was never 22 years old, imagine that! I think what I enjoyed best was the look in older people’s eyes when I told them I was 21, so wistful and nostalgic for that lovely number. In my 30s I felt old. I did not like checking the box “30 – 39 years old.” It didn’t help that at age 35 I was labelled an “elderly primigravida,” that is, a woman who becomes pregnant for the first time after the age of 34. This is so long ago that “elderly primigravida” is now a “dated term.” Then, as my kid moved through day care

Having a child makes you reflect on your own childhood, but forget reminiscing about The Friendly Giant with that bunch! I mean, the early episodes were in black and white, that’s how old I am. Becoming a Young Mature Person in my 40s was a revelation. There I was, in the

middle of the pack of the workforce, but on the young side. Ha! And the number 4 is so slim, upright and strong looking, don’t you think? 41, 44, 47 are clean tall digits, respected, respectable and trustworthy. Compare that to big fat round five–oh: 50. Is there more bloated number available? I think not. Ee-yew. Fortunately, in my late 40s, I had discovered the U-curve of happiness. Picture the smile from a smiley face, with the top left being 18 years old, happy and care-free from the relative lack of responsibilities, then moving down to unhappiness with mortgages and car payments and diapers and bottle drives and ravenous teenagers looting the fridge, until you hit 49/50 at the bottom of the curve. Boomph! That’s when the curve begins its upward journey, as mortgages dwindle or disappear, the nest empties, and the first inclinations toward wisdom glimmer. I’ve been on the upside of that curve for a few years now, to the point where it is starting to feel comfortable: I’m as light as a feather. And the top right-hand side goes higher on the happiness scale than the 18-year-old on the left. In fact, the older you get, the happier you get, zooming ever heavenward.
Now I find myself checking off the very last box: “55+”. Really, after 54, the decade doesn’t matter, it’s all just “old”? That puts me in the awkward position of being a Neophyte Middle-aged Person. That’s right, folks, I am new around here and not quite sure what I’m doing. I have a few questions for those among you who are more experienced at being Middleaged. First, how does one parent a child who is now legally an adult? I would guess very lightly on the advice side, more heavily on the free cash side. When I see my kid – er, um, my adult offspring – I usually just hand him twenty or forty bucks with no guidance on how or when to spend it. This is not as much fun for me as buying a new Lego set then spending the afternoon building it with him, but he seems to prefer this new activity. How does one support elderly parents without being too bossy? My limited experience here tells me just spending time together is the ideal, am I right? I am looking forward to becoming a Mature Middle-aged Person, after which I will become a Young Senior. Woo-hoo! Party!

Alcan emission hearings continue this week By JOSH MASSEY THE SECOND week of the Rio Tinto Alcan environmental appeals board hearings is underway this week in Victoria with government environmental officials who oversaw the granting of a permit to increase emissions from the modernized aluminum smelter taking the witness stand. They will have a chance to respond to claims made during the first week of hearings when the appellants Elizabeth Stannus and Emily Toews presented their case as to why the Alcan permit should be revoked and the company forced to install SO2 scrubbers in the factory. The lawyer representing Toews said the first week saw an alternative to scrubbers, clean-burning coke anode, suggested as a solution to the potential threat of sulfur dioxide emissions According to Richard Overstall, installing scrubbers would be the best case outcome for his client who suffers asthma but wants to continue living in Kitimat with a cleaner airshed. Using a cleaner but more costly coke anode, which is the material heated and processed into the aluminum alloy, could be another option, if not for long term then in the short term if sulfur emissions are seen to be high once the modernized smelter opens later this year. Alcan wants to monitor the plant after it starts and determine that the impact of the increase will be insignificant as their own research projections concluded. Those complaining say this would be turning those in the area into guinea pigs. The union represented Alcan workers has filed a lawsuit against Alcan over the increased emissions which would rise by 30 per cent in the new smelter while other emissions including greenhouse gases and fluoride are dropping overall by 50 per cent. How Alcan will conduct the monitoring after opening the new facility and how they would respond if the sulfur was seen to be a problem created a debate, said Overstall. “The other part of the
case is about how you deal with mitigation. What triggers any mitigation. The approach Rio Tinto Alcan takes is that what's called adaptive management and that is well, we will put the sulfur dioxide in the
air and we'll do lots of measurements and studies and if we find that there is some harm or if various standards have been exceeded then we will do something about it. What we are saying is that the harm that
can be done to human health and to the environment is significant enough and won't be detected in time, before the harm becomes quite general.” Another argument was the effects that the
sulfur could have on the growth of forests in the Kitimat Valley which would affect the forestry industry. “Essentially we are looking at human health and the effects of the acid rain that will be
produced by the sulfur dioxide on vegetation and water ... there is a big debate on what are the harmful levels,” said Overstall. The next people to take the stand at the hearings in Victoria this
week are representatives of the government who were involved in the environmental review, then in June the hearings will switch to Kitimat where Alcan officials will have a chance to defend.

Strange sounds in Terrace trend again SCREEN SHOT
By ANNA KILLEN IT'S PROBABLY safe to say that Terrace, B.C.'s long reputation as a UFO hotspot isn't going anywhere. Nearly two years after video footage of "Strange sounds in Terrace, B.C." went viral, similar footage featuring similar sounds – these videos allegedly captured last week – once again gained traction online through news reports and social media. In late-summer 2013, after the first video of eerie, low, metallic sounds emerged and Terrace residents who had heard the early-morning sounds searched for answers, the City of Terrace claimed responsibility for the noises. In a post on its Facebook page, the city said at the time, “a city employee was preparing a grader for some work on Lanfear hill and produced that mysterious noise with the grader blade.” Thursday, the city was playing coy. “Yes, it might have been us or it might not have been. Sorry. No idea,” said City of Terrace spokesperson Alisa Thompson in a short email Thursday afternoon. But by Friday, she confirmed that a city worker was straightening a blade on a grader Thursday morning around 8 a.m. at the Terrace Sportsplex when the sounds were heard – meaning the sounds happened in the same context as they did two years ago. “I understand that the sounds were heard Thursday and Wednesday ... I can confirm it was us on Thursday,” she said. “But I can’t for the Wednesday.” She said it’s probable that it was a local contractor on Wednesday. There’s a lot of work going on this time of year, so “that seems plausible but I can’t speak to the sounds on the Wednesday.” A request to interview the worker sharpening the blade was turned down, with Thompson citing privacy issues. And a video posted to Facebook Thursday morning shows city equipment appearing to make the sounds at the Sportsplex parking lot Thursday morning. But that didn’t stop many online from speculating what the sounds could be. What do you think the noises are? UFOs? A hoax? A city worker? A contractor? An extra-Terrace-trial? Join the conversation online at the Terrace Standard’s Facebook page and in the comments at www.terracestandard.com.

Glacier will be gone in 100 years By JOSH MASSEY ACCORDING TO a new scientific study, the Frank Mackie glacier complex, which includes the spectacular Salmon Glacier near Stewart, will have virtually disappeared between 2075 and 2100 in both low and high climate change scenarios. The Nature Geoscience paper, done by UBC and involving the contributions of UNBC geology professor Brian Menounos, modeled future melt scenarios based on several projections of increasing greenhouse gas emissions and found that about 50 per cent of glacier mass will melt by 2100 in the coast mountains and 75 per cent in other B.C. ranges. “A lot of that is projected by us to undergo decline even under the more conservative emissions scenarios,” said Menounos of the salmon glacier complex and other glaciers closer to Terrace because they have relatively little ice mass compared to more northern ones.
PHOTO COURTESY OF DISTRICT OF STEWART
TOURISTS COME in droves to see the Salmon Glacier, north of Stewart and Hyder, Alaska. Much of the river levels are created by melting of the snowpack over the summer, but it’s later in the sea-
son that the glaciers supplement this and cool the streams, he said. Further south in the
Skeena watershed, local glacier expert Matt Beedle, who worked with Menounos on his PhD, says that a smaller
amount of the watershed is glacier-fed. “The Skeena watershed has a glacierized area (current glacier
cover) of about 1.5 per cent,” said Beedle. “This is not a large amount, and means that the Skeena will not be
dramatically altered in the coming decades by loss of its glacier.”

PHOTOS COURTESY OF BRIAN MENOUNOS
THE TOP photo shows the estimated depletion of the Salmon Glacier if climate change is constant. The bottom photo shows the worst case scenario for the glacier.
From A16
Climate change is melting glaciers quickly But this note of optimism is tempered when other rivers that feed into the Skeena are taken into account. “Subdrainages within the Skeena watershed have a glacierized area of up to 12 per cent. Loss of these glaciers in the coming decades will result in increased water temperatures and decreased flows, and
will stress our invaluable salmon runs.” He said that the Kitsumkalum, Zymoetz (Copper) and Exchamsiks rivers are such rivers than could suffer as glaciers that feed them all but disappear over the coming century. “Glacier melt in dry, hot summers acts as an important buffer – bringing fresh water to
our rivers when we need it most,” said Beedle. “This new research shows the magnitude and timing of the glacier loss we will experience in the coming decades,” he added. The researchers hope that the trends will be reversed and forecasts will be proven wrong if the world transitions to non-carbon emitting
forms of energy production in the coming decades. Up around Stewart the recession of at least one glacier is easily apparent. According to City of Stewart administrator Tara Barker, the Bear Glacier which you see driving through the mountains on the highway into Stewart has
shrunk dramatically. “Just in the last 10 years, everyone notices it used to come right up to the highway before there was the pool there,” she said of the viewing area near town.
As for the Salmon Glacier, she said the size of it would make melting less apparent. “What you see is just the toe of it,” she said. “It’s definitely one of the biggest attrac-
tions when people come for their first time, their first question is, “where is the Salmon Glacier?” According to the new projections, the answer in 100 years will be: it’s gone.

Alberta election nails Enbridge: Cullen By ANNA KILLEN SKEENA-BULKLEY VALLEY NDP MP Nathan Cullen says if the Enbridge Northern Gateway pipeline project wasn't dead before the NDP sweep of the Alberta provincial election, it is now. NDP leader Rachel Notley led her party to a historic victory in last week's provincial election, overturning decades of Progressive Conservative rule, and promising her majority government would bring change to Alberta. Part of that change is her stance on Enbridge's Northern Gateway pipeline, which as proposed would transport heavy crude from Alberta to a terminal in Kitimat where it would then be shipped to eastern markets.
Notley knocked out PC premier Jim Prentice, who resigned not only the party leadership but also his seat. Before becoming leader of the PCs, Prentice had been tasked with shoring up support for Northern Gateway. The controversial pipeline was approved by the federal government nearly a year ago, subject to 209 conditions, and the company has been working towards meeting those conditions. “Rachel Notley was elected in with a strong majority government on a mandate to not pursue the Northern Gateway pipeline,” said Cullen. “If this were such an important pipeline and people had great hopes and expectations that would have been very difficult for her to win.”
Enbridge Northern Gateway released a statement to media yesterday saying that the company looks forward to sitting down with the new Alberta government to provide an update on the project and their partnerships with First Nations in Alberta and B.C. “We share a vision with the new Alberta government for world leading environmental protections for energy projects,” read the statement. “We believe that our vision for this project will earn the support of the new government and we look forward to this dialogue.” Cullen said he doesn't know what else it will take for the company to give up its pipeline plans. “This is another nail in the coffin. Enbridge, if they don't know that,
then they're not very bright – and we know they're bright because they hire a lot of expensive people,” he said. And Cullen thinks the company should spend more time pursuing projects that have the endorsement and support of First Nations, citing preliminary plans between Enbridge and Kitselas to explore geothermal opportunities on Kitselas territory near the Lakelse hot springs. “Why fight against communities,” he said. “Why not work with us?” The election of Notley and an NDP government in Alberta “changes the conversation” on energy in Canada, said Cullen. Over the past several months, Cullen campaigned on his now-defeated private
Kitselas candidates list set FOLLOWING LAST month's nominations, the list of candidates for the 2015 Kitselas Band Council election is now official, with four candidates for chief on the ballot and 17 candidates vying for six spots on council. That's one more council spot than in previous years thanks to an increase in Kitselas' population. Before this year its population was just shy of 600, with the Indian Act election code specifying that for every 100 band members there will be an additional councillor position added. The nation’s population has now passed 600, meaning there are now six council spots up for grabs. Nominated for chief is current chief Joe Bevan, Glenn Bennett, William (Bill) Bolton, and Brian Seymour. The list of council candidates includes all five

current councillors, Clarisa Spencer, Gerald Seymour, Judy Gerow, Wilfred Bennett Sr., and Wilfred (Web) Bennett Jr. The other 12 candidates are: William (Bill) Bolton, Dawn L.E. (Wale) Derrick, Shirley Gray, Cora Kennedy, Alfred S. McDames, Lloyd McDames Sr., Roxanne Ridler, Brian Seymour, Patricia Squires, Lynn Wright, Victor Wright, and Bonita (Bonnie) Young-Mercer.

Why climb?
Pooch remains cause concern
Because northwest B.C. was built for it By RAY HAWKES WHY DO people rock climb? The reasons are as varying as the individuals that climb. People rock climb for the sense of adventure, sense of success and personal achievement, amazing scenery, all around fitness, non-competitive fun environment – the list goes on. In Terrace, rock climbing’s popularity has only increased over the years. A boom in the ‘80s established a few routes on Copper Mountain, which in turn boomed to a number of other areas to climb in and around Terrace. Rock climbing is a safe activity compared to other high risk activities – but it does have its inherent risks. It is important that all proper safety items be utilized, including helmet and, most of all, proper instruction. This area is blessed with many natural resources – and that includes the surrounding rock faces. From Chist Creek to Copper Mountain and Exchamsiks, a variety of exciting opportunities await your discovery. One reason the area has lots of great rock climbing is because of the natural formations of the area’s natural granite cliffs. Granite is one of the best types of rocks to climb due to its solid sustained cracks, holds and lack of rock fall. Some of the best climbing areas in North America – think Yosemite National Park, Squamish, Bella Coola – are composed of granite rock. Copper Mountain is probably the most recognizable feature and climbing location in the area and has many short and longer rock climbs. The average climbing rope now is 60 metres, considered a “pitch”. Copper Mountain has a number of pitches to reach the top, with bolted stations at the end of each pitch to secure the climber. Terrace Mountain, Chist Creek, Kitselas
Crag, and a host of other locations along Hwy 16 between Terrace and Prince Rupert, range from beginner to expert depending on your abilities and climbing level. Like many other outdoor recreational activities, the more you engage in the activity the more advanced and skilled you become. And like those activities, the saying “your level of climbing was directly related to your employment status” is not too far off. So, how to start? If you are interested in rock climbing it is a fairly inexpensive sport to get involved in. Basically, all you need is a pair of rock climbing shoes, a harness, a climbing rope and a belay device, and a climbing partner to assist with the belaying. I would also recommend proper instruction to start off with. But the best part of rock climbing is that it is free once you’re fitted up with the necessary items. Terrace and Smithers has a few locations in which you can pick up your climbing items and there is even an indoor climbing wall in Terrace at Caledonia Secondary School for those cold wet winter days, perfect to learn the basics. Smithers and Prince Rupert also have indoor climbing walls. You don’t have to look too far to find an active climbing group. One of the best place to discover and or meet other climbers is on Facebook – search for the Terrace Rock Climbing page. It posts the latest climbing information and a good group contact site to meet up with other climbers of all abilities. Further, there is a Terrace Rock Guide book that is in the works to help assist climbers in finding some of the finest climbs in the Terrace area – but best to get started before the secret gets out. Ray Hawkes is a local rock climbing instructor, guide for Solstice Rock Guides, and author of the upcoming Terrace Rock Climbing guide.

THE TERRACE Youth Soccer Association (TYSA) is asking that those using Christy Park as a dog run remember to clean up after their pups. Yes, that’s in reference to what you think it is (TYSA board member Blaine Kluss said the club’s recent field clean up yielded “no fewer that 100 dog remains on that field.”) but it’s also in reference to something people may not even realize is an issue. And that’s the leftover bits of wood from sticks used to play fetch. “We found hundreds upon hundreds of wood shards all over the field,” said Kluss. “I don’t think people realize the kind of damage that can do to a kid’s leg. I’ve seen it. It’s not every day, but it happens frequently enough for it to be a concern.” He said the problem has “been growing exponentially over the past few years” and said while the refs do pregame safety walks, he encourages those using the park to “bring a ball down. Let the dog go chase a ball.”
Northmen ready for tough season ahead COMPETITION IN this year’s Northern Rugby League is expected to be stiff with three strong teams vying for a berth to provincials. The Terrace Northmen, the Williams Lake Rustlers and the Prince George Gnats will play one home game and one away against each team – 80-minute, full 15s rugby – this season, which sees its first official game May 23 here against Williams Lake. “It’s very strong rugby,” said Northman Evan van Dyk, back this season after spending last year abroad. “The level of competition will be way higher – every year it seems to improve.” He said he anticipates the Northmen will be stronger than ever thanks to some tough coaching by Mike Homeniuk and Jamie McKinstrie. “They’ve got a real focus on conditioning, so although it sucks at practice we’ll
probably be faster and in better shape than we’ve ever been heading into the season,” said van Dyk. The team’s roster is fairly consistent compared to last year – a strong core with a few new faces – but they’re always looking for more bodies. “We always want to see new faces out,” he said. “No experience necessary. Doesn’t matter what shape they’re in, if anyone wants to try it out we practise Tuesday and Thursday at 6 p.m. at the college.” A friendly icebreaker with players from Prince Rupert and Houston was the unofficial kick-off to the season earlier this month, and the team will spend the May long weekend defending its title at Rugbyfest in Edmonton. “Really looking forward to it,” said van Dyk. “It’s a chance to try to defend the shield and try to come away with another win.”

Terrace athletes tear up the track in PG HARD WORK paid off for the combined Skeena and Caledonia track and field team – placing second out of 12 teams at the Prince George track meet earlier this month. “I am very proud,” said coach Megan Reid, who coaches with Ben Matteis. “They have been working hard and it paid off at this track meet. Quite a few of the athletes really pushed themselves and were able to smash their previous personal bests. She also gives props to Bob Park, from All Seasons Source for Sports, who donated track and field shoes to the team. “The use of spikes helped quite a few of the runners go a little faster on

the artificial track,” she said. The team collected 222 points over the weekend to place second. The hometeam of Prince George came first, and McBride was third. Most of the Terrace athletes left with medals and all athletes left with at least one personal best. Patrick Holmberg placed in every event that he participated in. These are Caledonia’s results: Tea Archibald: 2nd 100 m; 1st in long jump; 2nd in triple jump; 2nd in discus (senior girls) Eden Bruce: 2nd in long jump; 3rd in discus; 1st in javelin (senior girls) Amber Schulte:1st in discus; 1st in javelin (junior girls)
he rat-a-tat of woodpeckers’ beaks against bark, and the echoes of their zany call in the woods, distant hillsides and slide chutes filled with the thrumming of blue grouse, the greening of the land, the aromatic air, fiddle head ferns and the bright yellow blades of skunk cabbage pushing through the spongey swamps, bears with a sheen on their black coats grazing grassy meadows, snow topped mountains, and days that start really early and end really late are all part and parcel of Spring and what makes it the most appealing season, but, for me, none of those phenomena are more exhilarating – or more firmly confirm that it is truly spring – than the appearance of newly hatched salmon in the margins of the rivers and in shallow backwater pools. True, fry do appear in other seasons. One December afternoon, many years ago now, I made an exploratory cast into a fast riffle that feeds the deepest pool in the Tree Farm side channel and was surprised when a Cutthroat Trout I hadn’t expected to be there so late in the year smacked my Muddler Minnow. As I carefully released the fish another rose, then another. The rises were the aggressive kind fish reserve for emergent caddis flies or migrant fry. Since there were no bugs in the air, and knowing that caddis hatches in December are rare, I dried my cold hands and fished a Silver Minnow from my wallet. In the next half and hour,

and their silver sides. I have little doubt that their predators are alerted to the presence of pink fry by their shimmering sides. As proof, I offer the fact that I’ve tied silver tinsel on a size 4 Mustad 9672 Streamer hook (which, turns out to be 3 centimetres long) and managed to hook more than a few fish on it, but adding a few features definitely enhances the austere pattern’s performance. By adding a short tail made from the fluff at the base of a soft grizzled feather from a barred rock hen and tying a suitable length of black or dark grey floss or a similarly coloured strand of wool (polypropylene yarn is an excellent choice for this task) the pattern will seduce more piscine predators. Adding a large eye will catch more still. Taylor-made eyes that are ringers for the real thing can be purchased at tackle shops. They are decals intended to be affixed to a large head made by layering tying thread just aft of the eye of the fly. If, as I do, you prefer a more traditional way of achieving this, do as I do and go to a hobby shop and buy two bottles of Testor’s Model Paint, one bright yellow and one black as well as a bottle of thinner for the inevitable time when the paint begins to thicken. Set these on your tying bench upside down with the lids on, of course. Dress the pattern I described in the penultimate paragraph and make sure it has larger head than you would normally tie.

Cullen takes a swing at Trudeau over C-51 vote
NEWS

By ANNA KILLEN DESPITE THE next-day elation over the NDP sweep of the Alberta provincial election, May 6 wasn't an entirely rosy day for federal New Democrats. That's because May 6 was also the day the House of Commons passed, with minor amendments, the government's controversial anti-terror legislation, Bill C-51, a bill that amends the Criminal Code, expands the mandate of CSIS (Canadian Security Intelligence Service) and gives the government more power to share information about Canadian citizens. Critics say the legislation is unconstitutional and essentially amounts to a government spy bill, but the Conservatives maintain that the bill will help keep Canadian citizens safe from terrorists and other threats. The Conservative omnibus bill passed Wednesday evening with the support of the Liberals and with members of the NDP, Greens, and Bloc voting against. Speaking Wednesday, SkeenaBulkley Valley MP Nathan Cullen, who moments earlier had said nothing could wipe the smile off of his face after the previous evening’s election of NDP leader Rachel Notley as majority premier of Alberta, switched his tone, calling the vote on C-51 “a dark day for Canada.” “It's a terrible bill,” he said. “The provisions are so broad. Most of these will be challenged immediately in court because they're not constitutional.” The finance critic also had tough words for Liberal leader Justin Trudeau, whose party supported the bill. Trudeau candidly admitted earlier this year that he planned to support the bill – and overturn it if elected – because he didn't want to appear soft on terror heading into the federal election and the Conservative elec-

OK,” said Cullen. “Here's the thing. We're talking about fundamental rights – and this is why we're hearing from former Liberals and Supreme Court judges – it's devastating,” he continued. Canadians concerned about the bill have mounted a large campaign targeting MPs with letters and phone calls – and Cullen said the Liberals must be feeling the pressure. “The son of the Prime Minister who brought in the Charter of Rights and Freedoms is voting on a bill that attempts to scrap the Charter of Rights,” he said. “It's incredibly uncomfortable.”
